| Lindell TV brings you The Stone Zone with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone. | |
| Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents. | |
| He is a New York Times best-selling 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! | |
| Welcome. | |
| I'm Roger Stone, and you are about to enter the Stone Zone. | |
| You know, it's very rare that I will do the show without wearing a necktie and braces. | |
| By the way, the British call them braces. | |
| Suspenders are those gadgets you use to hold up your socks before socks were elasticized. | |
| Had elastic in them. | |
| I'm tired because, well, I returned from Palm Beach and President Trump's palatial place there, Mar-a-Lago, well after 1 a.m. | |
| But being present for his announcement of candidacy really made me feel as if I was a witness to history in the making. | |
| The air crackled with excitement and electricity as the Donald Trump of 2015 and 2016 re-emerged. | |
| This was the beleaguered outsider attacked by the Deep state cabal of legacy media, a corrupted politicized Justice Department, indeed the entire political duopoly that has run the country into the ground, deeply fears a resurgent Trump candidacy. | |
| Contrary to the advice of a great number of his advisors, Donald Trump became a formal candidate for another term in the White House last night at around 9 p.m. | |
| The place was packed with patriots. | |
| Even more impressive than the people inside Mar-a-Lago were those dogged patriots gathered outside the estate Literally hundreds and hundreds, if not a thousand of them, brandishing Trump signs and flags and hanging on every word on their cell phones. | |
| There is no other American political figure who could amass that kind of grassroots support. | |
| Let's show the very first cliff of the president saying those historic words. | |
| In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. | |
| Our country is in a horrible state. | |
| We're in grave trouble. | |
| This is not a task for a politician or a conventional candidate. | |
| This is a task for a great movement that embodies the courage, confidence, and the spirit of the American people. | |
| This is a movement. | |
| This is not for Any one individual. | |
| This is a job for tens of millions of proud people working together from all across the land and from all walks of life, young and old, black and white, Hispanic and Asian, many of whom we have brought together for the very, very first time. | |
| A certain irony there, we appreciate The Guardian, the single most dishonest media outlet, journalistic outlet in the country for showing their excellent video. | |
| The President laid out the reasons for his campaign, I think in a very disciplined way. | |
| Let's roll it. | |
| We will be persecuted just as I have been. | |
| I mean, I have been, but many people in this room have been. | |
| But we will not be intimidated. | |
| We will persevere. | |
| We will stand tall in the storm. | |
| We will march forward into the torrent. | |
| And we, in the end, will win. | |
| Our country will win. | |
| We will win. | |
| My fellow Americans, we will join together and reverse this staggering American decline, and it is staggering indeed, and we will again restore the spirit of our nation. | |
| And then we must build and raise up a legacy that will stand without equal in the entire history of the world. | |
| With your help, we will create communities where our children will grow up safe and strong, and a nation where they will grow up free, prosperous, and well. | |
| We will re-establish the principles of hard work and merit, and end the scourge of homelessness that is plaguing our beleaguered, Democrat-run cities. | |
| We will heal our divisions and bring our people back together through incredible success. | |
| We will defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | |
| We will expand the frontiers of human knowledge and extend the horizons of human achievement. | |
| And we will plant our beautiful American flag very soon on the surface of Mars, which I got started. | |
| But we need everyone involved. | |
| We need everyone's help. | |
| We need to look out for one another. | |
| We need to be friends. | |
| And we need every patriot on board. | |
| Because this is not just a campaign. | |
| This is a quest to save our country. | |
| talking about saving our country. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| I am asking for your vote. | |
| I am asking for your support. | |
| And I am asking for your friendship and your prayers on this very incredible but dangerous journey. | |
| If our movement remains united and confident, then we will shatter the forces of tyranny and we will unleash the glories of liberty for ourselves and for our children. | |
| There you have the most important segment of the President's speech. | |
| Now if you're Donald J. Trump, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. | |
| I thought the President's speech was sober, deliberate, orderly, and he showed extreme discipline in terms of staying on message. | |
| His critics, who of course will never be satisfied, said that it was sleepy and low energy. | |
| Yet had he attacked others in the Republican Party by name, and I think he was probably sorely attempted to do so, Mitch McConnell, they would have said that Trump was undisciplined and on the warpath. | |
| I thought that his speech was incredibly effective in terms of laying out the issues. | |
| Here's what he had to say about the culture war, specifically men in women's sports. | |
| I will be the president who finally fixes education in America. | |
| We were doing great. | |
| We were doing, we were starting to really get it right. | |
| We will not let men, as an example, participate in women's sports. | |
| Is that okay? | |
| No men! | |
| No men! | |
| There you see exactly why the former President of the United States is banned on Twitter, banned on Facebook, and why if you want to follow, Well, you've got to go to his social media platform, Truth Social. | |
| By the way, I had an opportunity to meet Kash Patel, or I should say see Kash Patel, that great patriot. | |
| In fact, I've named one of my dogs after him. | |
| I like him so much. | |
| He and Devin Nunes, another great patriot, who's doing a great job at Truth Social, were among those in the crowd. | |
| It is absolutely clear that the Deep State and the Democrat media cabal is deathly afraid to face President Donald Trump in yet another election. | |
| They still have nightmares about his victory, most improbable, in 2016. | |
| They still know in their hearts, like that famous letter that Trump wrote to Joe Biden, that Trump won in 2020. | |
| And therefore, there is no doubt that they're trying to use the controversy regarding President Donald Trump's handling of presidential documents as yet another reason to disqualify him from another bid for the White House. | |
| Let's roll it. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Amen. | |
| And I'm a victim, I will tell you. | |
| I'm a victim. | |
| Think of it. | |
| The FBI offered $1 million to Christopher Steele, who wrote the fake dossier, if he will lie and say that the fake dossier was true. | |
| And he refused to do it, so it had to be really fake. | |
| And then they hired somebody, Demchenko, for $200,000 a year to focus on Trump and to get Trump and other things, including the raid of a very beautiful house that sits right here. | |
| The raid of Mar-a-Lago. | |
| Think of it. | |
| And I say, why didn't you raid Bush's place? | |
| Why didn't you raid Clinton? | |
| 32,000 emails. | |
| Why didn't you raid Clinton's place? | |
| Why didn't you do Obama, who took a lot of things with him? | |
| We will dismantle the deep state and restore government by the people. | |
| To further drain the swamp, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. | |
| It's time. | |
| It's fine. | |
| And I will ask for a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns. | |
| A lifetime ban on lobbying by former presidents. | |
| We picked that clip for a very specific reason. | |
| Therein lies perhaps the greatest single and most powerful issue in Trump's arsenal for 2024. | |
| The Business Insider, which tries to masquerade as a news outlet, but which is in fact a propaganda front for the cabal, noted that although Roger Stone and Mike Lindell, Trump stalwarts, they described us, were in the crowd, there were no, or I think few, sitting members of Congress. | |
| What they don't understand at the Business Insider is that that's a plus, not a minus. | |
| If you have the endorsement of the body politic, of the political insiders, then there's little question that you will not enact the kind of reforms that our system so desperately needs. | |
| The President... | |
| Fox News actually zoomed in and got a quick section of me on the floor. | |
| Let's show that particular clip. | |
| Roger Stone did nothing wrong. | |
| Let's go! | |
| Alright, I think we jumped ahead here. | |
| The point I was trying to make is, once a number of mainstream media outlets pointed out or actually identified me on the floor at President Trump's announcement, | |
| That opened the gates to a tsunami of hatred and invective on Twitter, which demonstrates immediately why there has to be some effort to restore balance to that particular social media platform. | |
| When I see Elon Musk, a lot of which whose comments I agree with and who I generally like based on what I've seen, meeting with the ADL to talk about what the parameters of hate speech are, well that causes me great concern because you see to them hate speech is anything they disagree with. | |
| What they don't seem to understand is these attacks on me warm my heart. | |
| You see, I revel in their hatred, because if I was not effective, well, they wouldn't hate me. | |
| And it's why I value this platform here at StoneZone.Live, which brings you to FrankSpeech.com, specifically Lindell TV2, every day at 4 o'clock Central, 5 o'clock Eastern, to provide some balance to Twitter, to Facebook, to Instagram, where you'll only find to Instagram, where you'll only find hatred and appeals to violence. It | |
| is ultimately extraordinarily important that applications and platforms like this continue to thrive. That's why we ask you now to consider our sponsors at MyPillow.com. Now, | |
| MyPillow.com, of course, underlies the entire operation here at FrankSpeech, and it is owned and operated by that great American entrepreneur, businessman, Christian, election integrity advocate, and election integrity advocate, and free speech advocate, Mike Lindell, who I saw but didn't get a chance to say hello to in last night's crowd. | |
| Mike Lindell is what you used to call a stand-up guy. | |
| And both Mike Lindell and I need your support by going to MyPillow.com and using MyPillow.com to do all of your Christmas shopping. | |
| Let me point out some of my favorite products that you can get a deep discount on by using promo code STONE. | |

| You've got to go for the pet blankets. | |
| They're The pet blankets are as low as $19.59. | |

| Normally you would pay $89.98. | |

| Now here's something I learned from Mike Lindell himself. | |
| The bath towels that you buy in a department store, say Macy's or Dillard's depending on the part of the country you're in, that cotton is treated with a special oil which makes it more resilient but it also makes it far less absorbent. | |
| Not so, the bath towels available at MyPillow.com. | |
| Think of that, a bath towel, so after your bath or shower, you can actually dry yourself off. | |
| How incredibly novel! | |
| The quality of the products available at MyPillow.com are personally tested and certified by Mike Lindell himself. | |
| You're not going to find anything on the site that is sub-standard, and with promo code STONE, yes, you get deep, deep discounts. | |

| We can throw that image up if we have it, but let me go through these prices with you. | |

| Now it's time to go to the questions that you have submitted by going to stone at stonezone.com. | |
| We appreciate your participation. | |
| We actually have more questions than we can deal with, so let's jump right in. | |
| Here is a question from Barry in Phoenix, Arizona, who asks, what similar themes will Donald Trump's campaign have relative to 2016? | |
| Despite a very solid record of accomplishment as president, it was very hard to run as an outsider when you're the sitting president of the United States. | |
| What I felt in the room in Mar-a-Lago last night was a rekindling of the spirit of 2016. | |
| Donald Trump as one man alone standing up against the machine, the man in the arena as it were, taking on the entrenched globalist interests, whether it is the weaponized federal government, whether it is the legacy media, | |
| Whether it is Wall Street and the globalist billionaires currently propping up a potential challenge by Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, Donald Trump returns to his outsider roots. | |
| And this Donald Trump is unapologetic, he is unafraid, he is undaunted, and he seeks to pull off the greatest upset in modern political history. | |
| Now, has any president been elected, been defeated, and returned to run for the White House? | |
| Interestingly enough, and we didn't know this until a few hours ago, many presidents have tried. | |
| Specifically, Martin Van Buren attempted it. | |
| Theodore Roosevelt attempted it, Herbert Hoover attempted it, but only Grover Cleveland, a conservative Democrat, was actually successful. | |
| Cleveland, elected in 1885, defeated in an election that may have been stolen in 1888, where, by the way, he won the popular vote, but lost in the Electoral College count, which was disputed, and but lost in the Electoral College count, which was disputed, and then came back to triumph in | |
| It is not incidental that Grover Cleveland, like Donald J. Trump, was a scrappy New Yorker. | |
| I think he returns to all of his original themes. | |
| He wants to make America great again. | |
| Again! | |
| And very clearly, in just two years, the country is, as the President says, in very deep decline. | |
| For those who say, oh, the reason the Republicans didn't fare better in the midterm election is because they laid out no vision, no plan for the future, I'm sorry, I disagree. | |
| I think the plan for the future is abundantly clear. | |
| Let's take, for example, energy independence. | |
| In my lifetime, I worked on 11 Republican and one Libertarian presidential campaigns, but every presidential candidate I worked for promised energy independence, promised that we'd no longer have to go begging in the Middle East or to Venezuela for our oil needs. | |
| And none of those presidents achieved that until Donald J. Trump came along. | |
| There is enough natural gas and oil beneath our own surface under the continental United States plus Alaska to fuel this country for the next several hundred years. | |
| So, the answer is pretty clear. | |
| Drill, baby, drill. | |
| We need to return to the letting of drilling contracts. | |
| We need to tap back into the Arctic area where we were beginning to extract oil. | |
| We need to return to the policies of Donald J. Trump to restore energy independence. | |
| And when we do, watch those gas prices come down. | |
| The antidote to inflation is simple. | |
| Stop spending. | |
| Stop spending and sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to protect their borders when we won't spend millions to protect our own borders. | |
| The President last night pledged a crackdown on the criminal gangs that are fueling a crime epidemic in this country. | |
| That's an agenda. | |
| The President touched on perhaps two of the single most powerful ideas out there. | |
| Term limits. | |
| Term limits for members of Congress. | |
| It is interesting that Ronald Reagan also was intrigued by this issue, but inevitably, once a person becomes elected president, the swamp intercedes and explains to you why pursuing term limits is not a good idea. | |
| It is actually the best idea. | |
| If Donald Trump will make term limits one of the centerpieces of his campaign, something I think no other candidate will do, I think it will be a powerful factor in his renomination and his return to the White House. | |
| So, Barry, thank you for your question. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Smith from San Antonio, Texas asks, do you think Donald Trump ever considering going the John Adams route and running for Congress? | |
| Or could he become Speaker? | |
| Actually, I don't think the President would run for Congress. | |
| I think that would actually be a step down. | |
| However, one does not have to be a member of Congress to be selected as Speaker. | |
| In fact, under the rules of the House, any American citizen who is of voting age is eligible to be Speaker. | |
| Now, a lot of people were disappointed to see the results of the Republican caucus. | |
| I don't have the exact numbers, but I think roughly, I think 181 Members voted for Kevin McCarthy. | |
| Some 31 members in that range voted for Andy Biggs of Arizona. | |
| Very good man. | |
| That is not the election of the Speaker. | |
| The election of the Speaker actually comes when the full House convenes in January. | |
| At that juncture, Kevin McCarthy must have 218 votes, a minimum of 218 votes, to become the Speaker. | |
| Now, there's a drama going on here in Washington. | |
| Congressman Matt Gaetz, who was not present last night, but who put out a strong statement of support for President Trump's re-announced bid for the White House, claims that he has the votes to deny the speakership to Kevin McCarthy. | |
| Well, from his lips to God's ear. | |
| I'm not a fan of McCarthy, mostly because McCarthy has already announced prior to Election Day that he would not be open to articles of impeachment against Joe Biden. | |
| For those on the wacky left like those freaks at the Guardian or the Daily Beast who say, on what grounds? | |
| How about 10% for the big guy? | |
| Is that good enough for you? | |
| That's evidence of kickbacks going to a sitting Vice President of the United States. | |
| And we know that that's just the tip of the iceberg. | |
| So it was not surprising to see Mitt Romney aka Mittens say that congressional probing of corruption charges regarding Hunter Biden would be a waste of time. | |
| On what planet does Mitt Romney live? | |
| In the Hunter Biden laptop Revelations, which we now know are completely real, that are not Russian disinformation, as 31 intelligence assets told us, there is more than sufficient evidence for a congressional investigation into the activities of Hunter Biden and James Biden, the President's brother, as well as the Vice President himself. | |
| Will Kevin McCarthy do that if he's elected Speaker? | |
| We don't know the answer. | |
| What about a probe into the epic corruption of the FBI and the Central Intelligence Agency? | |
| We just learned that the CIA was willing to pay $1 million To someone who could find dirt on Donald Trump in order to use that as the basis to remove him from his duly elected position. | |
| That really requires some congressional investigation. | |
| The American people deserve to know who made that decision and why. | |
| Why did they pay $200,000 to this poor dumb bastard, uh, Domchenko, uh, Denchenko, who seemed to be the guy at the bottom of the ladder? | |
| It looked to me like John Durham, the special counsel, whose efforts we had such high hopes for, ended up charging the guy who drove the getaway car for the crime of double parking while he let those robbing the bank escape. | |
| But in those two epic trials brought by John Durham, he absolutely proved the collusion between the Obama administration and the upper reaches of Hillary Clinton's campaign. | |
| Yes, I think the new Congress needs to probe those matters. | |
| Perhaps that will be on Matt Gaetz's agenda of things that he wants a Speaker McCarthy to look into. | |
| So, all eyes on the man from Florida, Matt Gaetz, who is a shrewd political operator and knows how to count votes. | |
| I'm praying that he is right and that, at a minimum, he has the votes to leverage a greater level of aggressiveness from a Speaker McCarthy, if we have to put up with him at all. | |
| My hat's off to Florida Senator Rick Scott for at least having the cojones to challenge Mitch McConnell for the minority leader's position in the Senate. | |
| It appears that Senator Scott was not successful, but he gets credit for climbing into the arena and trying to do the right thing. | |
| What's more outrageous is the fact That Mitch McConnell is not sharing his share of blame for the defeat in the historic off-year elections. | |
| What would have happened if instead of spending $9 million in Alaska to prop up the sagging candidacy of Lisa Murkowski, who was not elected as a Republican, but was elected to her current position as an independent, | |
| Uh, and then subsequently joined, uh, the Republican caucus and decided to vote with the Republican caucus to organize the Senate, uh, and spent that money in Arizona instead where it should have been spent. | |
| Perhaps Blinkmasters would not have fallen short. | |
| What happens now in Georgia? | |
| Well, the President was very firm last night in his comments in a shout-out to Herschel Walker. | |
| Of course, we will need a free, fair, honest, and transparent election in Georgia to ensure that the real winner of that race ultimately goes to the Senate. | |
| What can you do? | |
| Well, send a contribution to Herschel Walker right now. | |
| In this digital age of politics, your money can be put to work right up until the day of the runoff. | |
| And Raphael Warnock had raised over $50 million for the runoff the last time I checked, and that was 48 hours ago. | |
| Uh, so, uh, you can help by sending a contribution to Herschel Walker's campaign. | |
| Uh, this is, uh, an extraordinarily important race and it remains a winnable race. | |
| Herschel Walker was the only Republican who was not successful. | |
| How could that be? | |
| How is it that everyone else on the Republican ticket won easily, but Herschel Walker ends up in a runoff? | |
| Well, if you watched the Stone Zone yesterday with Captain Seth Ketchel, I think we explained that pretty well. | |
| But right now, all eyes are on Georgia and the fight is still afoot. | |
| So please send a contribution to Herschel Walker's campaign. | |
| Go online. | |
| You shouldn't have a hard time finding his campaign website. | |
| He's a good man. | |
| He is fighting the good fight. | |
| And yes, he can win, but only with your support. | |
| We're going to put up the graphic yet again, where you can send your questions. | |
| It is stone at stonezone.com. | |
| We appreciate your questions. | |
| And now we're going to return to the website to take yet another one. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Here's a question from Sandra in DeKalb County, Georgia asks, will you be running Donald J. Trump's campaign for president? | |
| The answer is definitively no. | |
| I am retired as a Political consulting, a consultant. | |
| I did a little bit of it in the last cycle. | |
| At this juncture of my life, I prefer to talk and write about politics. | |
| I'm a veteran of now 12 national presidential campaigns. | |
| I did read today an excellent piece in the Washington Examiner that said that the president's campaign would be chaired by Susan Wiles, the daughter of sports legend Pat Summerall, the famous sportscaster. | |
| One of the most able women I know in American politics and also that Chris LaCavita, now working at Donald Trump's PAC, was likely to move over and become the day-to-day manager. was likely to move over and become the day-to-day manager. | |
| Also, that Tony Fabrizio, who I've known for over 40 years, easily the single most able person I know in the area of survey research and polling, will be on the team. | |
| This is an exceptionally able group of individuals. | |
| I would point out to you that La Cervita and Fabrizio were the men largely responsible from the epic victory of Senator Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, and therefore they have proven themselves. | |
| They are discreet, they're organized, and they're incredibly effective. | |
| Let's take a quick break now to talk about one of my favorite subjects and that is coffee, my coffee. | |
| I'm a coffee drinker, I have to admit it, particularly around four o'clock in the afternoon when I need a little lift I will either take some extra activity or I'll get a nice hot brewing cup of my coffee. | |

| We're going to grab some questions now from our audience at Cozy.tv, Smilence at Cozy.tv asks, I'd like to know Stone's thoughts on the new Speaker of the House. | |
| Well, let me address that yet again. | |
| The vote of the caucus yesterday that got so much press is largely meaningless. | |
| It did show that at least 31 members of the House are dissatisfied with the leadership of Kevin McCarthy as the minority leader. | |
| The real vote comes up in early January when McCarthy must have a minimum of 218 votes to become Speaker of the House. | |
| Matt Gaetz, who represents a congressional district in North Florida, says that he has the votes to prevent McCarthy from becoming Speaker. | |
| The House could go to several ballots and if This remained the case. | |
| McCarthy would ultimately have to withdraw in favor of someone who could muster the required 2,218 votes. | |
| Or Matt Gaetz could force trade votes in return for commitments regarding the House agenda. | |
| If those people who are opposed to Kevin McCarthy stick together, something we predicted on this show for many, many, many months, where I said repeatedly that a narrow margin of victory in the House might be more conducive to change than a blowout victory in the House, As predicted on other shows here on FrankSpeech.com, that seems to have come to pass. | |
| So, Smilence over at Cozy.TV, thank you very much for your question. | |
| I'm a fed, I hope you really aren't, at Cozy.TV says, how does Trump plan to win given the current voter fraud that does not seem to be going away? | |
| That's an excellent question. | |
| I could repose it as, how does any Republican candidate hope to win? | |
| Unless, of course, the Republican candidate is a stooge for the same people who are manipulating our elections. | |
| In which case, we won't get the leadership, or the president, or the policies, or the government that we want. | |
| If your argument that they'd steal it from Trump but they won't steal it from me is the reason I should be nominated, well, that person should not be nominated. | |
| Look, it's an open secret to anybody who's involved in politics that there have been four men running sub-ROSA campaigns for president over the last two years. | |
| The first and most obvious one is Donald J. Trump. | |
| In fact, he hasn't hid it very well. | |
| In fact, he hasn't hidden it at all. | |
| He's been very open about the fact that he was planning another bid. | |
| Secondarily is Governor Ron DeSantis. | |
| Now those who email me and text me and respond in social media saying that I'm dividing the movement by causing out the Florida governor must not have seen the debate with Charlie Crist. | |
| Let's be very clear. | |
| Ron DeSantis, after the special session of the legislature here in Florida, scheduled for February, will become a candidate for president. | |
| He and his wife Jill, I mean Casey, pardon me, I mean Jill, have been Planning this for some time. | |
| And they are propped up by globalists like Ken Griffin, who says he wants to kill the populist movement and move the Republican Party more in line with corporate objectives. | |
| And Paul Singer, another billionaire never-Trumper, propped up by Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Rupert Murdoch, and others. | |
| They're very serious. | |
| Ron DeSantis, We'll be a candidate. | |
| As President Donald Trump says, it's a free country. | |
| He has that prerogative. | |
| If he wants to run, he can run. | |
| And run he will. | |
| Then, in one of the worst trial balloons I have ever seen, just on the eve of President Trump's historic announcement that he would run again, was an ABC special interview with former Vice President Mike Pence. | |
| Mike Pence says that he's giving prayerful consideration as to whether he should become a candidate. | |
| Well, I'm praying that he just goes away. | |
| He has zero chance of being nominated in the modern Republican pride party. | |
| And it is extraordinary that as a man who served four years as vice president, that he's actually mired in single digits when it comes to first preference for the presidential nomination. | |
| The only people who believe that Mike Pence can be elected president are on his payroll or certain misguided reporters inside the Beltway. | |
| The fourth man whose candidacy is totally destroyed by the rise of Ron DeSantis is former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. | |
| Uh, his candidacy was a pipe dream to begin with, given his history, uh, vis-a-vis Julian Assange. | |
| Uh, but, um, in any event, he was moving around and organizing. | |
| Um, you're absolutely right when you asked, does it matter which of these individuals we nominate given our broken election machinery? | |
| Um, I wish I could tell you that I knew the answer to that. | |
| The answer is to fix this through peaceful means, either through the courts or through the legislatures. | |
| It is interesting that the real election law reforms that impacted 2022 came either from the courts, for example, in Wisconsin, where drop boxes were disallowed by their courts, or in Florida, where they were done or in Florida, where they were done by the legislature and signed by our governor. | |
| The democratic states are not going to change their rules. | |
| As a political strategist, I wish I could tell you the answer to this, other than to say the most important thing is to highlight it, to make sure the American people understand the improbability and the outrageousness of it all. | |
| So, that's not a perfect answer, but that is my answer. | |
| Going back to Cozy.TV, let's see. | |
| This is a question, if I take it back, this is from Justin. | |
| Who were the people at the Trump announcement at Mar-a-Lago? | |
| How were they selected for invitation? | |
| Why did they have a crowd that would kind of cheer and chant, but not entirely? | |
| Was there a benefit to not just doing this typical rally that would go wild? | |
| Well, I don't know the answer to your question in terms of who made up the invitation list. | |
| I was really glad to see a lot of old line Trumpers, like Pastor Mark Burns, like Angela Stanton King, like Ed McMullin, and others who have not been present in the Trump orbit in recent years. | |
| But I can tell you the crowd was indeed exuberant. | |
| The crowd was indeed charged up. | |
| I thought the President's selection of a more orderly, more sober approach was right for the occasion. | |
| And that a rally atmosphere really did not lend itself to the historical importance of this moment and time. | |
| But I was glad that I was there, despite the fact that I can barely keep my eyes open right now. | |
| And I desperately need some Extract Jevity. | |
| Continue to do so. | |
| Here's another question from Cozy.TV's audience. | |
| Anglo Arcadian asks, I know you are old school, but have you kept up with the FTX Ukraine Democratic Party connection? | |
| I must admit that I have skimmed these stories. | |
| I'm not an expert on Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, but this appears to me to be a mega story. | |
| It appears that we were laundering U.S. | |
| Taxpayers dollars and then sending them back to the Democratic Party. | |
| That's my quick take. | |
| This is the kind of scandal that will get no coverage whatsoever on CNN or MSNBC. | |
| It'll be interesting to see how and if the New York Times even covers this. | |
| Yet another scam, as big a story as the manipulation of the elections. | |
| So I thank you very much for your question and a shout out to all of those over at Cozy.TV who are following us. | |
