Time Text
author, and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
Hello, I'm Mike Lindell, and I'm excited to announce my new product, MyCon. - But where are we?
Welcome to the Stone Zone.
Sorry about that mechanical malfunction.
Well, I must tell you, as a 40-year veteran of American politics, As a veteran of 12 national presidential campaigns, starting with Richard Nixon through Ronald Reagan, working on the Bush recount, and of course, all the way to Donald Trump, I'm scratching my head about the fact that we still don't know the results of this election.
As I sit here today, We still don't know whether Republicans are or are not going to control the lower house, the Congress, the House of Representatives.
We also still don't know whether the Republicans will win control of the United States Senate.
How is this possible?
The French have 35.1 million voters.
They vote 100% by paper ballot.
We're talking about a hand count.
And within one day, they can tell us who won.
There are less than a million voters in Arizona.
Pardon me, there are slightly more than a million voters in Arizona.
There are less than a million voters in Nevada, yet we're still not able to tell you who won the races for governor and the U.S.
Senate in those states.
It really boggles the mind.
If you watch the election day coverage, or I should say election night coverage, here at LyndellTV1, Mike Lindell actually made history.
We showed you in real time by using sophisticated technology the data dumps, the ballot dumps of the Democrats in Georgia, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania.
You could actually see the theft of elections in real time.
You must wonder, why is that on the front page of the New York Times or the Washington Post?
How come I didn't see it at CBS or NBC?
Well, that's because the mainstream media in this country, in fact, all mass communications, are controlled and censored.
Just think how angry the people would be if the people knew.
That's the Roger Stone dog chorus that you hear there.
It is quite extraordinary that Mike Lindell has used his own money to provide the overwhelming evidence of electoral fraud and theft, yet it is not covered by the mainstream media, and therefore, sadly, the people don't know.
Or, if they know, they don't care.
What a sad day for America.
Just to be clear, I still believe that when the dust settles, And when all the votes are counted, I believe Carrie Lake will be elected in Arizona.
I think Blake Masters will be elected to the United States Senate in Arizona.
I do think Mark Fincham, who joined us on election night, or pardon me, I guess the night after the election, here at FrankSpeech.com, will be elected.
I wish I had the same level of confidence regarding Nevada, but it appears to me that all of the outstanding ballots appear to be from Clark County.
That's the political stronghold of the late Harry Reid, who refined election fraud down to an art form.
I'm praying that Adam Laxalt does win, but, well, I admit to you, I am not confident.
In the meantime, it is now abundantly clear because the notifications have gone out that former President Donald Trump does intend to announce his historic candidacy this coming Tuesday.
Only one American president, Grover Cleveland, has been elected president, failed to be re-elected because, in Cleveland's case, as in the case of Trump, re-election was likely stolen from him, and came back to win the presidency.
I think history is going to repeat itself.
But what we see going on today is an effort by the exact same people who opposed Donald Trump in 2016, who really weren't for him in 2020, the Wall Street interests, the globalist interests, billionaires like Ken Griffin and Paul Singer, propping up a potential candidacy by Governor Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis did win big in Florida, but here's a statistic for you.
Donald Trump got 1,057,733 more votes in Florida in 2020 than Governor DeSantis got only a few nights ago.
7,733 more votes in Florida in 2020 than Governor DeSantis got only a few nights ago.
That's a difference of 1 million voters.
The idea that Donald Trump is responsible for the underperformance of House and Senate candidates is an absurdity.
Donald Trump had 219 wins among those he endorsed and only 16 losses.
By anyone's measure, that is an extraordinary performance.
Joining us now is a good friend of mine and a good friend of the show, Javier Manjeris of The Floridian joins us now.
Roger, how you doing?
Thanks for having me on.
Thank you very much for joining us.
You had a groundbreaking story today.
Senator Marco Rubio, with whom I know you have a close relationship, asked that the election of the Senate leadership be delayed.
This is an extraordinary development.
Tell us what's going on.
Right, well, it was interesting.
He put out the tweet and I received a text from him about the tweet.
Nothing more, nothing less.
So I knew he wanted it out there.
And so it's interesting because I had already spoken to several members of the US Senate, including Senator Ted Cruz, who I've channeled, as you can see in my facial hair.
And they are all looking for other leadership.
They're not happy with Mitch McConnell.
And as you know, because we've talked about this many, many moons ago, Mitch McConnell looked to sink Senator Rubio back in 2010.
So there's no love lost between the two men.
So for Senator Rubio to come out and call for, what she did was a call of no confidence, a vote of no confidence for Mitch McConnell and all of leadership, including Senator Thune.
This is huge because this is exactly what Senator Cruz told me two weeks ago in Orlando.
And what other senators have told me and other elected officials that, you know, they're not happy with the leadership.
They want a change.
And just the other day, I believe yesterday, Your friend, our friend, Representative Matt Gaetz called out McCarthy, Representative McCarthy, because he's the heir apparent to become Speaker of the House, and that may not happen.
So this is a huge pushback because this red wave didn't turn out the way they sold it to be.
And a lot of people are disappointed, like myself, you, a lot of voters are disappointed, elected officials.
It didn't turn out how it was supposed to turn out.
By the way, folks, if you want to get the very best information on Florida politics, go to the Floridian, what's the exact web address, Javier?
It's floridianpress.com, floridianpress.com.
This is where you can get the most up-to-date information, a lot of breaking stories, Our guest today is a journalist with many, many deep sources within the political firmament of the Sunshine State.
He is much, much better than another guy out of Tallahassee whose name escapes me at this moment.
We're glad to see you're sporting that Ted Cruz beard, but today on the Stone Zone, nobody will throw a beer can at you.
I guarantee you that.
You're right about our disappointment, although I must say for some weeks on this show I have kind of predicted that this giant red tsunami that everybody else thought was coming was not likely to come, based on several factors.
One, the continued manipulation of the vote in states like Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
Has continued, nothing has happened in those states in the interim legally to change the system.
So, for example, in Pennsylvania, mail-in ballots are unconstitutional.
The Commonwealth Courts held that.
The Appeals Court did not overrule them, but the State Supreme Court ruled that they were perfectly okay.
Here's Stone's rule.
As long as you have mail-in ballots available to the Philadelphia Democratic machine, you will never have another honest election in Pennsylvania, meaning you'll never elect another statewide Republican.
Here in Florida, things happened very dramatically.
I cannot remember a time, although I think there is one in recent decades, in which the Republican candidate for governor carried both Miami-Dade County as well as Palm Beach County.
This literally hasn't happened.
That's a huge sea change.
How do you explain that?
You know, I can't.
I was looking at the map today And one thing is to see Miami-Dade County red.
Another thing is to see Palm Beach County red because you're taught most people in Palm Beach County that it turned this county blue was these are New York transplants.
A lot of these Democrats that came from from New York, Miami-Dade, the same thing, but not so much as Palm Beach County.
I couldn't believe it.
But again, this is an anomaly.
This is, you know, you got to give credit where credit's due.
And Ron DeSantis, he galvanized Floridians.
He did the right thing for Floridians as a whole through COVID, and he pushed back against leftist ideology.
So I don't think we'll see this happen again down the road.
I think that whoever follows his lead is going to have to follow his lead to a T for us to see this duplicated again in future elections.
Yeah, I think that's a very good analysis.
Those who now want to immediately assume that this is a safely or overwhelmingly red state would still be wrong.
This is still a purple state.
You're absolutely right.
Credit does need to be given where credit is due.
Governor DeSantis won a resounding victory.
I do think he was assisted by the hurricane, but even then he deserves credit because it was his skillful handling of the hurricane in terms of communicating with Floridians so they always knew what was going on, and also marshalling the state resources quickly for a very quick recovery, and he deserves, I think, credit for that.
He did a good job of elbowing Jimmy Petronas and Ashley Moody out of any of the photo ops.
He wasn't sharing credit.
Ashley Moody got reelected.
I couldn't pick her out of a police lineup, I must say.
I'm not sure what her signature issues are.
I can't actually think of anything she's done as Attorney General.
There's nothing I'm opposed to, but she seems kind of low profile, with the possibility that Governor DeSantis is going to be a presidential candidate, if not in this next presidential election, but down the road.
I couldn't identify the Lieutenant Governor either, to be honest with you.
I really, I don't know what she looks like.
I didn't see her anywhere in the campaign.
How do you explain that?
Well, she was out there, but again, the Governor Ron DeSantis, you know, he just, the photo ops were his.
People wanted to see him, and they saw him.
But I think one thing you need to point out, and I'll point it out, is the fact that because Ron DeSantis was the figure here in this election, Look at the the race in Florida City 26 or 27 with Maria Elvira Salazar.
She won her race two years ago by a few percentage points.
She beat Senator Annette Taddeo by 14 percentage points in a de-performing district in Miami-Dade County.
That speaks volumes.
I could not, I thought this was going to go down the wire.
Maybe Salazar winning by maybe two or three points the most.
But when she won by 14 vote points, and Rubio winning by 14 points, being outspent 2-1 by Representative Val Demings, it's unheard of.
I don't think we'll ever see this again, to be honest with you, Roger.
Yeah, the performance of Senator Rubio is very, very impressive.
As I've said on this show, and if you haven't watched it, folks, it's worth to go back and watch, his debate performance with Val Demings, Was the single best performance I've ever seen by any candidate for public office in any debate ever.
And I've been in the business 40 years.
He really performed extraordinarily, vastly better than his performance in the presidential debates when he ran for president.
From the beginning, he was in command of the facts.
He never got ruffled.
He was light-hearted.
He had some humor.
But he never let a cheap shot go by without addressing it.
In the end, he basically reduced her to screaming, shaking her fist, insulting him.
She looked terrible.
I told him this when I saw him Sunday at the fabulous rally that President Trump had.
Marco Rubio, Miami.
It was really impressive.
I'm liking Senator Rubio more and more these days.
And I really think people think of him as an establishment Republican, and therefore his challenge to Mitch McConnell is very real.
If there is a majority, Javier, do you think Senator Rick Scott, our other senator, is going to challenge Mitch McConnell for the leadership?
Well, interesting you say that because I put this out there last month, I'm sorry, last week, is that, remember, Rick Scott is a Trump supporter.
He is an ally of Senator, I'm sorry, of President Donald Trump, through and through.
And Rick Scott ran the NRC.
Rick Scott, the credit should go to him, not Mitch McConnell.
And so, like I said, I've spoken to several members of the U.S.
Senate, and they would support So, I would think so.
Rick Scott Kennedy over Mitch McConnell any day.
Mitch McConnell does not have as many friends as he thinks he does in the US Senate.
And these new crop centers like Rubio, Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, if there's a better option than Mitch McConnell, they're gonna go with it.
So I would think so.
I would think that if a vote is delayed and enough of these guys decide to side with someone like Rick Scott, it's Rick Scott's to take.
But Rick Scott is gonna wanna have it.
And we all know that Rick Scott and a lot of these other guys have presidential aspirations, maybe in a few years from now, maybe not in 2024, maybe in 2028.
So we'll see.
But I would like to see Rick Scott take the reins at the leadership in the United States Senate.
I think he would do a lot more than what Mitch McConnell has shown us thus far.
You know, I agree with you.
Look, I'm a sometime critic of Senator Scott, but I would much prefer Rick Scott to Mitch McConnell as the leader in the Senate.
Rick Scott is a fighter.
Mitch McConnell seems to me to be a compromiser.
And if this comes down to one vote, Well, then you're absolutely right.
The potential in both houses for a coup against the leadership by those who are more aggressive for the America First agenda is a very real possibility.
It kind of boggles the mind that we sit here right now and we still don't know whether we have a majority in either house.
We need 218 votes, I think it is, in the House.
As of this moment, we still don't have enough votes counted.
Doesn't this kind of disturb you?
Absolutely.
And also, even if the Republicans fail to win the majority in the Senate, does Mitch McConnell deserve the minority leadership?
Absolutely not.
And also the minority leadership in the House.
Does McCarthy deserve the minority leadership in the House if they fail to win the majority?
Absolutely not.
And just that we're having This conversation right now is disturbing because this was the Republican election to lose.
We should have won this hands down.
I also I want to add that, remember, this was a wave election.
We assumed it was.
We can also look at the fact that the wave election could have also started last election cycle and incrementally continued on to this one and maybe continues on to next election cycle 2024.
We don't know yet.
That remains to be seen.
But we should have had a lot more gains this election cycle.
We may see more in the coming days, but we should have already seen it.
We shouldn't be counting votes right now.
It should be a definitive win, decisive wins as well, speaking right now, but we haven't seen that.
So obviously the question I have to ask you, we see a boomlet going on of advocacy that Governor DeSantis run for president.
Ben Shapiro, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Frank Luntz, Meghan McCain, Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project, they all like the idea of a Dissent is presidential candidacy, but in all fairness, Fox News, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, oh wait a minute, they're all owned by the same guy.
They all seem to be pushing this idea of a dissent is presidential candidacy, yet Congressman Matt Gaetz Who I believe was instrumental in Donald Trump's decision to endorse Ron DeSantis for governor, had a terrific piece at the Daily Caller as to why he remains and he still thinks Donald Trump should be in the White House.
And then, of course, last night the president In his inimitable style, kind of torched Ron DeSantis, I was asked by Michael Putney from one of the local TV stations today whether that was my idea.
You know, here's what people don't understand about Donald Trump.
He's not managed.
He's not handled.
He isn't scripted.
He's his own man.
He does what he wants to do.
He's not, you know, there is no puppet master.
There's no Karl Rove in Trump land, and the president will do what he wants.
How do you feel about this entire Florida-based drama?
Because they're certainly both Floridians at this point.
Look, I mean, all the people you mentioned, I question Rick Wilson.
Rick Wilson is a hack.
He used to be a friend of mine.
I've seen him bash Ron DeSantis.
We know he hates Donald Trump.
I don't know what his motives are.
We see him as a grifter with his Lincoln Project, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Everyone else, they've all hated on President Trump.
Look, I have nothing against President Trump.
I think he's been great.
I think I may question some of his tactics, how he comes off.
But I think his policies have been the best thing that we've seen in U.S.
history.
I think the policies have been dead on.
We've prospered under his leadership.
I think Ron DeSantis is great.
He's a good friend of mine.
I wish him the best.
I wish one day he runs.
Should he run against President Trump?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I think people want to see that.
I think the media, especially the Democrats, want to see a A huge cage match between the two.
They want to see a bloodbath.
I don't think America's ready for that.
I don't think the Republicans want that.
A lot of people say DeSantis should wait his turn.
But then again, just like Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis is his own man.
He can make his own decisions.
So if Ron wants to run in a primary, it would be a gruesome primary, a grueling primary against President Trump.
He's his own man.
He can make his own decision.
And it would be to his peril because We know President Trump, like, you know, talking about mean tweets, you know, it'll be a brutal primary and may the best man win, but look, I just wait to see what happens.
If President Trump becomes the nominee, like Ted Cruz told me, if President Trump gets in, he clears the field.
No one would be dumb enough to get in against him and they would await their turn.
Because there's a lot of guys that want to run for president, and they would not run if President Trump gets in.
I don't know if Ron gets in.
If he was, that's his deal, and I would support his decision, whatever it is, if he does or doesn't.
But we'll wait and see.
President Trump will announce next week, and we support him.
And then if Ron announces after that, for whatever reason, I support his decision.
And we'll see what happens down the road.
And hopefully the best man comes out of it and wins.
If it's only President Trump, then we support him against anyone that the Democrats put up against.
I don't think it's going to be Joe Biden because I think by the time he decides to run, he would have forgotten his name.
And we can't afford two more years of Joe Biden.
We just can't.
So we just have to wait and see what happens.
Javier, will you be covering the President's announcement on Tuesday?
Do you intend to be there?
No, as a matter of fact, I'm going to be in Washington on Monday.
I fly up Monday and I'll be back on Thursday.
This is a mega story.
My understanding is that they already have over 500 media outlets have applied for the media credentials.
I mean, this really is a historic occasion.
Yeah, I put in, but I had already planned on being in Washington for a lot going on.
We'll send someone up there, but I personally cannot be there.
It's right up the road from me, but I will be in Washington.

I'm a coffee drinker.
I love to admit it.
First thing in the morning I need a bold, bracing, invigorating cup of coffee.
And for a long time I looked around for the brand of coffee that I liked.
I would brew up some espresso on the stovetop.
I didn't find that to be totally satisfying and then I found MyCoffee and here's the irony.
It's called MyCoffee and it's available at MyStore.com.
Mike Lindell himself is going to tell you about it right now.
Hello I'm Mike Lindell and I'm excited to announce my new product MyCoffee.
I get products all the time from entrepreneurs from my new platform MyStore.com.
And when I tried my coffee for the first time, I was blown away.
It is the best coffee I've ever had in my life.
I spent the last four months doing my due diligence, and this family-owned business micromanages every step from the fields to the cup to ensure the best quality coffee you're ever going to have.
It starts with the beans that are grown in Honduras.
Honduras' volcanic soil and humid climate make the perfect growing conditions for coffee plants, which produce the best beans ever.
Then each batch is tested for its aroma, taste, and other aspects to meet the highest standards in the coffee industry.
And after that, it goes into production, which is all done right here in the USA.
It's like you're getting that small batch specialty coffee, but delivered right to your front door.
So go to mystore.com or call the number on your screen.
Use the promo code and you'll get your very own My Coffee for 25% off.
You guys all know that I've traveled the country for the past year and a half.
I've stayed in hundreds of hotels.
I've tried every coffee out there.
Well, some of the coffees have that terrible aftertaste, some that leave me jittery or I get an upset stomach.
Well, my coffee is different.
It's the richest, smoothest, best coffee I've ever had.
My coffee comes in a variety of flavors.
You get them ground or whole bean, plus it's certified organic and non-GMO.
I guarantee it'll be the best coffee you've ever had.
So go to mystore.com or call the number on your screen.

It's my new platform for USA entrepreneurs.
Please order now.
And there you have it, folks.
Please try my coffee by going to my store and order it.
And please remember to use promo code STONE.
Joining us shortly will be Taylor Hanson, who is an independent journalist, who in the past has reported for the Gateway Pundit, is the founder of the Baby Lives Matter movement.
We'll have him explain that.
And he's going to join us shortly.
In the meantime, we continue to wait for the results of the Arizona election.
I spoke to the Arizona Republican state chairman out there, former chairwoman out there, who assures me that when the dust settles, that Carrie Lake, Who in my opinion ran the single best campaign in the country for governor will win the governorship.
I'm also told that Blake Masters will yet prevail in the U.S.
Senate race.
I'm not sure that there is any more important race in the country other than the runoff in Georgia.
Now when it comes to the runoff in Georgia, It still shocks me that Governor Brian Kemp got a higher percentage of the African-American vote than the great Herschel Walker, and Walker will have to improve his performance in that community in order to win a runoff.
But stay tuned, folks, because the Democrats are trying desperately to euchre Pastor Raphael Warnock, the abortion pastor who loves abortion on demand, I don't kind of pastor that is beyond that 50% in order to obviate the need for a runoff.
Many people have asked us here at the Stones, well, why do we even have a runoff?
I've seen other states where nobody gets 50% of the vote and they don't have a runoff.
That is absolutely right.
The requirement that a candidate for statewide office get 50% of the vote is embodied in Georgia state law.
It is not a federal requirement in every state.
It is not unique to Georgia, but it is the prevailing rule in Georgia.
I would also point out to you that Raphael Warnock has already brought in $50 million for this upcoming runoff, which takes place in early December.
And therefore, if you haven't sent a contribution to Hershel Walker, I ask you to do so now.
All right, joining us here on the Stone Zone, Taylor Hanson, who is a reported for the Gateway Pundit in the past, founder of the Baby Lives Matter movement.
I must say I love that.
He is the man, historically, who actually caught the video of Ashley Babbitt The unarmed Air Force veteran, decorated Air Force veteran, killed in cold blood inside the U.S.
Capitol on January 6th.
She was unarmed.
She was menacing no one.
She was not warned before she was shot and killed.
And in the style of Laura Loomer, in the style of good friend of the show Alex Stein, Taylor Hanson is a courageous independent journalist who doesn't seem to mind asking the tough questions of some of the most important figures in the country today.
Taylor, thank you very much for joining the Stone Zone.
Of course, thanks for having me on, Roger.
So I understand you confronted former National Security Advisor John Bolton regarding weapons of mass destruction that were theoretically were told by the Bush administration existed in Iraq.
Kind of set the stage for us and we're going to try to play that video.
Yeah, so I saw an event listed on Eventbrite, and I noticed that he was actually going to be visiting Frisco for, I believe it was an institutional policy.
That's what the name of the group was.
And just a throwback to neocons, I thought they didn't really exist anymore, but apparently they did.
It was a neocon event, so I booked two tickets, one for me and one for my cameraman.
And I really just couldn't help myself because the last time that I had actually seen Bolton on video, he was in an argument with Assange's wife regarding, you know, Assange and saying, hey, he should be basically imprisoned for over 175 years for releasing, you know, true information, for actually doing journalism, or I say committing a journalism.
So I really felt the need to really just confront him, especially about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Considering the death count is, you know, honestly still rising from their consequences of what we did in that country.
And I mean, we killed over a million people in that country.
So I felt it was very important to talk to him about it.
So Taylor, are you telling me that the war in Iraq was unconnected to the attack on America 9-11?
Is that what you're trying to tell me?
Oh, I mean, you know, it sure would be crazy if that's what it was.
Right, Roger?
I mean, this is one of the great frauds of all time.
Dick Cheney, whose daughter is now suddenly a media hero.
Dick Cheney turned this country into a foreign war, costing millions and millions of American dollars, costing millions of lives.
Based solely on a lie.
Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack on America on 9-11.
And then secondarily, the claims by the Bush administration orchestrated by Vice President Dick Cheney, but unfortunately verified by Colin Powell, the late Colin Powell, who I think regretted it going to his grave.
That Iraq had weapons of mass destruction were used by the war machine in essence to push this nation into war.
Let's roll this video, hopefully, of your confronting John Bolton.
Mr. Bolton, how do you expect us to trust you when you lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
You essentially genocided the Iraqi people.
You covered up war crimes in Afghanistan, sir.
Why did you celebrate the arrest of Julian Assange?
Why do you think that's acceptable, sir?
You heard your point.
Is celebrating war crimes acceptable?
Don't touch me, sir.
Why did you do that?
Why did you come to me?
That's another example of First Amendment work.
So I'm being detained because I asked John Bolton a question on why he wanted to cover up war crimes in Afghanistan.
What's up here?
All right, I'll meet you.
I won't follow you.
Let's go to your...
So, So what transpired after that?
Did they actually book you with a crime or did they just remove you for practicing, outrageously practicing journalism?
Yeah, they tend not to like journalism.
And you saw, you know, that moment where the camera zoomed into Bolton's face.
I mean, he's clearly emotionalist.
I mean, I think the guy is a psychopath.
You have to be to do really what he did to the Iraqi people and to continue just to really push this narrative on to people.
And you hear him crack that joke about the First Amendment, you know.
Oh, there's the practical First Amendment there again.
And then, you know, the whole crowd of neocons laugh.
So it really shows you The kind of environment that I was in and the kind of people that were at the event.
And the only time that they really, you know, started to get really outraged is when I said you practically genocided the Iraqi people.
Because these are still the same kind of people, Roger, that believe that what we did in Iraq was just.
I mean, even though you have George Bush on camera joking about, you know, oh, well, we didn't find weapons of mass destruction.
Oh, maybe we'll find them over there.
Or maybe we'll find them over there.
We've actually played a video on this show, The Stone Zone, of George W. Bush recently admitting on camera that we actually signed a treaty with the Russians regarding Ukraine in 1994 in which we agreed that Ukraine would never become a member of NATO.
Or if I can actually define that for you, that we'd never have Western missiles based in Ukraine pointed at Russia.
He actually admits that today we're violating a treaty agreement that was negotiated by Secretary of State James Baker.
Baker's also on record as admitting that we're violating a treaty in our current actions in Ukraine.
So the efforts of the neocons, they just continue.
Here's what I didn't hear in that video.
I didn't hear Bolton answer your question.
No, he refuses to, Roger, and he probably never will answer questions like that.
I mean, he is a very dishonest man, and honestly, he is a psychopath at this point.
I mean, this is exactly what happens.
I mean, you see what you touched on with Ukraine and Russia, and how NATO just continues to infringe and infringe and infringe on the treaty that we signed with Russia.
I mean, you have, I mean, we've even moved past the missile capabilities outside of Russia, you know, pointing at them.
And we have the 101st Ranger Battalion there now.
And they're even saying, hey, this is a combat deployment, you know, we're not messing around here.
And they're prepped and ready to go for combat.
So, you know, ever since Trump got out of office, the establishment has just really swallowed back up the war machine and has just continued the gears.
You know, I thought we would move past this.
We had peace in the Middle East for the most part under Donald Trump.
And, you know, I really thought we were taking a big step away from the international war machine and the industrial military complex, but now it seems like the U.S.
is just using, and not just one side, but, you know, just the general establishment, the GOP and the DNC, we're using Ukraine as essentially the new Afghanistan.
I mean, we know all the money that we're sending there is not actually arriving.
We're laundering that money.
Yeah, it's really extraordinary.
As you know, Senator Rain Paul sponsors an amendment When he can't stop the billions that we're sending to Ukraine.
He sponsors an amendment that would require a U.S.
Inspector General just to track where the money is going.
And the Senate votes it down.
I think he got two votes.
I think he and Mike Lee voted for it.
Every other senator, they're not interested in where the money goes.
It's really quite extraordinary.
Now, among the other public figures that you've dogged in public, it's one of my favorites, Beto O'Rourke, by the way, who, Beto, the guy wants people to think that he's Hispanic when he's not.
Tell us about, we have a couple clips, let's show the first one.
Hey Beto, will you disavow trans surgery for minors?
Are you going to disavow trans surgery for minors, sir?
Hey Beto, are you going to disavow trans surgery for minors?
Beto, will you at least disavow the violence of your support?
Beto, will you disavow trans surgery for minors?
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
I'm asking a question.
Beto, I have one question.
Will you disavow trans surgery for minors?
Don't touch me, bro.
Beto, will you disavow the violence of your supporters?
Beto, why won't you disavow the violence of your own supporters?
And he didn't answer.
Will you answer?
I don't need to answer.
Why won't Beto disavow the transphobia of minors?
Is that something he believes in?
I got my opportunity, he clearly didn't answer it.
Why won't you disavow it?
Why won't he disavow it?
Is it because he wants to mutilate children?
Is it because he wants to mutilate children?
Hey, Vader wants to mutilate children!
I don't know why he wants to disavow the trans surgery of minors.
It's interesting that he won't disavow the trans surgery of minors.
Wow, that turned kind of vile at the end, didn't it?
It's interesting that he won't disavow the trans surgery and minors.
Smaller than my print.
Get the fuck out, dude.
Wow, that turned kind of vile at the end, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit, Roger.
And, you know, it's the same tactic that Beta, and I call him Beta O'Rourke.
I don't even think he deserves to be called Beta.
And we all know that's not his real name in the first place.
But Beta, I mean, really, you know, there's a common misconception that, you know, I just go to these events to disrupt.
But I actually reached out to the candidate or I actually reached out to John Bolton's team.
Prior to this as well, I would much rather formally sit down and ask these questions back and forth.
But when they don't give me the opportunity or they just deny me or outright ignore me, then of course I'm going to show up to your event and I'm going to ask you the question in a very informal matter.
I mean, this is exactly what we need around the country.
But as you see, Beta, he just disrupts, I mean, kind of deflects, you know, my questions about essentially mutilating children, because that is one of his policies and his beliefs.
And then he just sicks his crowd of violent supporters on me.
And you know, these people, they all have the, uh, I call it the Frozac stare, where they've been on too many SSRIs their entire life.
And you see, you know, the, uh, the young, uh, individual at the ends that, you know, decided to flash me with their post-transition surgery, uh, the double mastectomy they had.
And they're, they're not there in the head.
I mean, and I do truly feel terrible for these people, but when you have to, uh, it really, there's a breaking point of where you have to just start confronting these people.
And I encourage every single person to do it.
is if they're not going to answer questions for you, then you just have to go out and answer, I mean, essentially force them to answer it.
And their lack of, I mean, their lack of answers, I mean, it's very telling on what they support.
Let's throw up another video of Taylor Henson at work.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! - You too!
I'm not going to be wrong with you.
I'm not going to be wrong with you.
unfrayed to confront leftists and ask The hard questions.
I am kind of curious.
You must have an accomplice, pardon me, a co-correspondent who shoots those videos for you so you can capture the violent reaction of the mob.
You see, that's the thing about the left.
They're not interested in a debate.
They're not interested in a dialogue.
No.
If they can't answer you, they just want to silence us.
They just want to shut us down.
In fact, they want to cancel.
In some cases, they even want to send us to prison for seven to nine years.
I can tell you all about that.
This is, I think, very courageous on your part, because you can see the hatred in that crowd.
These people, you're taking your life in your hands when you choose to pursue this kind of honest journalism, no?
I mean, absolutely.
I don't even see it as that, Roger.
I just see it really as doing the right thing.
I mean, people should be asking these questions.
And when legacy media doesn't want to ask these tough questions to these candidates or to these war criminals in John Bolton's case, then, you know, it takes a 22 year old who really has, I mean, I would argue three years of experience.
I woke up one day and I decided, hey, I want to do journalism.
And that's what my passion was, is I wanted to tell the truth.
And, you know, people around the country should all be doing this is I always tell people that anyone can do this.
And my favorite thing about that video is you see the exact same campaign manager for beta get in my way and actually start to assault me.
She's like his little guard dog.
She's his gatekeeper.
But I would stop, you know, confronting these people if they would just answer my one simple question or however many questions I have for them.
I mean, that's all it takes is just answer the question honestly and I'll leave you alone.
And if you don't want to, then I'm going to be persistent and I'm going to continuously do this to you until an answer is essentially forced out of you.
All right, we've got one more clip with Beto O'Rourke and then we'll come back and talk to Taylor Hanson again.
Let's roll it.
Okay, we have a technical problem with our third video.
So, Taylor, tell me, who else have you confronted in this honest journalistic style?
So I actually just really got back into, you know, the confrontation ambush style of journalism because prior to this, you know, I could ask somebody a question and they would actually answer.
But it seems like the past two years have become very polarizing between, you know, not just the right and the left, but between the elitists and, you know, essentially I would call us their little lapdogs or their slaves in this case, is, you know, they don't see us as equal human beings.
So these are the levels that I have to go to and I have to ask these questions about.
I mean, but Lisa Fithian is one that comes to mind.
She was responsible for essentially celebrating the 2020 riots.
And pretty much planning much of what took place on January 6th.
But of course, you never hear her name in the media.
Are you disappointed that your video of the murder of Ashley Babbitt was not shown in the televised January 6th committee hearings?
I mean, how could that be?
The purpose of the committee was to get to the bottom of what actually happened on January 6th.
How is it that the committee would not show that to the American people?
Yeah, Roger.
I mean, we all know from day one that the committee, I mean, it's a complete joke.
They're illegitimate, essentially.
That's the best way to put them.
I mean, it's a hack job.
They're trying to frame innocent American people.
And if they were interested in the truth, they would have at least, bare minimum, had me testify.
And I'll tell you, I begged Liz Cheney.
I begged these people that were on the committee to actually go in and give my in-person testimony.
I have hours worth of video that I wanted to provide to the January 6th committee.
But for some reason, they just weren't interested.
Marjorie Taylor Greene actually had me on her podcast, and she was one of the first ones to hear my entire story.
And she passed it directly to the committee, and what did they do?
Absolutely nothing.
So we all know that they really do not care about the truth in this, and it's just a witch hunt.
I mean, I don't even actually think that they even uttered Ashley Babbitt's name a single time in the committee.
And they didn't utter the other three people's names that died that day either.
What you hear is the completely false narrative that five people died on January 6th.
That's not even true.
Two people did die at the hands of the Capitol Hill police.
Both cases, in my opinion, first-degree murder.
Neither one of them armed.
Neither one of them menacing anyone.
Neither one of them warned in advance.
Three Capitol Hill police officers also died.
Two of them committed suicide after January 6th.
Why, you might wonder.
What is it that they knew?
What was on their conscience?
What did they know that drove them to that horrific act?
And then, of course, Officer Sicknick, who dies of a stroke, but whose mother made a campaign ad attacking Carrie Lake, as if Carrie Lake was responsible for what happened You can find it on my Twitter page.
I try not to repost it just due to being very close with Ashley Babbitt's family now.
your video of the horrific murder of Ashley Babbitt, and it's hard to watch, where can they go? - You can find it on my Twitter page.
I try not to repost it just due to being very close with Ashley Babbitt's family now.
It's kind of hard for them to see, obviously.
They actually had to watch it over and over and over again the night of because the government didn't want to provide any details on what condition she was in or where they could find her at.
And you guys can find it on my Twitter, at Taylor USA.
It is T-A-Y-L-E-R-U-S-A.
And if you just put that in the advanced keyword search in Twitter and then write, uh, young woman shots, it's going to pop up.
Mickey Whitthoff, Ashley Babbitt's mother, has been on this show.
I had an opportunity to meet her.
She's a wonderful woman.
She's now rededicated herself to the question of justice for the January 6th detainees.
She's a lovely woman, a great Christian, a great person, and we grieve along with her for her hero daughter.
It is amazing to me, Taylor, that you're still on Twitter.
How could that be?
Why do they allow you to remain on Twitter?
I guess I should keep my mouth shut because I might get you banned here, but how do you read that?
Honestly, Roger, I have no idea.
I mean, because after the 6th, I was actually immediately banned from Instagram, Facebook, and all other platforms.
The only platform that I wasn't permanently banned from was Twitter.
I mean, I was severely shadow banned.
They locked down my account for a few days afterwards, so I couldn't tweet, couldn't talk about it, couldn't really do anything.
And, you know, I lost over, I believe, 30,000 followers in a matter of two days.
So we all know that's how engagement works in real life.
But, you know, I honestly do not know how I haven't been banned, but I'm very grateful because it allows me to disseminate information and breaking news to the people.
Do you think that the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk is going to lead to de-censorship as it were?
Will the Alex Joneses and the Donald Trumps and the Mike Lindells ever be returned to Twitter?
What do you think?
I do think so, but I don't think that it is going to be the way that a lot of people tend to believe it's going to.
I do think that, you know, I've already seen the restrictions loosen up a little bit.
I've seen my follower count start to go up.
Conservative accounts have actually kind of dropped shadow bans in some of their accounts.
A lot of them still are being shadow banned or keyword banned.
But I do believe that they're going to have, you know, Alex Jones, Trump and a few other people restored to the platform.
Elon has talked about it in the past.
But I'm not entirely sure.
I wish I could pick Elon's brain and truly know when that was going to be.
I know Yola Roth, he was in charge of the privacy and the trust communications on Twitter.
He was kind of pushing back on it a little bit, but I do believe that he just resigned So I think once we get some more coders and some more people back into Twitter that are patriots, so to say, or just neutral, the bare minimum, I do think you'll see the restoration of those accounts.
At least I'm really hoping so.
Well, I hope you're right.
I saw the other day a post by Elon Musk that he was meeting with the ADL to discuss continued censorship of hate speech.
Let's be very clear.
Hate speech by them is defined as anything they disagree with.
Anything whatsoever.
I also have high hopes for Parler.
I think Parler can be rejuvenated.
I have found new energy at Parler after being incredibly disappointed with it.
I'm now starting to see some traction there.
I understand that they're going to be making big changes and technical improvements to Parler.
So if you used to post there, And you stopped, I would recommend that you go back to Parler and re-engage.
The important point here, of course, is whether it's Telegram, whether it's Gab, whether it's Truth Social, whether it's BitChute, or whether you're one of those few patriots allowed to remain on Twitter, you have to remain active As Chairman Mao said, when a thousand flowers bloom, we need more social engagement.
We need more websites, not less.
