And now 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.
Now, if you're listening carefully, you see I'm fighting a touch of laryngitis.
No, I'm not doing an impression of Steve Bannon.
I haven't shaved for a couple of days.
But if you tuned in for our 59th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy show yesterday, congratulations!
It was our biggest show ever.
This, however, is the first edition of The Stone Zone that will be conducted in both English and Spanish.
It's a pleasure to be here with you today.
Unfortunately, I've had a bit of a sore throat that has prevented me from doing the show yesterday, but here I am with you today.
I know how I look.
Believe me, I'm not trying to look like Steve Bannon.
It's very possible that yesterday Yeah, I'm sure it will.
So you don't face him into one of the last scene at the President Kennedy.
It's where one of those shows must grandest chemist and he goes to La Fecha.
But it was the only comment that came in.
Yeah, they were supposed to show me especial.
All right, so the reason I wanted to do the show today is to discuss an extraordinary phenomenon.
That is a social media influencer named Alex Oteola.
The reason I want to do the show today is to talk about a phenomenon on social media.
We're talking about the influencer Alex Oteola.
Interestingly enough, a Florida International University poll recently showed that 37% of Hispanic Americans said they were getting their news from social media.
Only 32% said they were getting their news from television and 8% said they were getting their news from radio.
Very interesting.
A survey conducted by the International University of Florida, FIU, has just shown the following results.
We have And here's the amazing thing.
And here's the amazing thing.
When asked, unaided, that means without being given a name, who the social media listeners were focused on, 41% said out of the way Alex Otaola.
Y cuando le preguntaron a través de esta encuesta, a aquellos que participaron en la encuesta, exactamente a quién escuchan, a quién escuchan para obtener su información.
La respuesta fue Alex Otaola.
Alex Otaola is a natural phenomena.
Alex Otaola es un fenómeno natural.
He is a force of nature.
He is a major reason why Miami Dade went red, because he is a freedom fighter and a Trump supporter.
Él es la principal razón por la cual Miami se convirtió en rojo, porque él es un luchador por la libertad.
Since a recent interview I did with Alex Otaola, I have literally had thousands of people contacting me, urging him to run for mayor and for me to help him.
After a very interesting interview, I was made by Alex Otaola and I, Miles de personas se me han acercado, me han escrito, me han llamado para decirme sobre la importancia, ese apoyo que están dando por una posible candidatura a la Alcaldía del Condado de Miami-Dade por parte de Alex Otaola y diciéndome, apoya a Alex, Roger, apóyalo.
And therefore it is my great privilege to bring you this historic interview with Alex Oteola, which is in both English and Spanish.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Oteola.
Let's roll it.

I'm sorry.
Please welcome to the ranch, Roger Stone!
Thank you very much.
It's great to be here.

Es un placer estar aquí contigo, Alex.
Bueno, y también tenemos a Enrique, por favor.

Ahora eso sí se entendió.
Las únicas dos palabras en español que sabe.
Bueno, desayuno.
Desayuno bueno.
Roger, it's a pleasure you'll be here.
You're an idol for...
You're an idol for the Hispanic, the Latin community that follows Trump.
Well, that's very kind.
I saw the story in the Miami Herald about the FIU poll that shows the way you are changing the way people get information about everything.
About Cuba, about America, about politics.
So it's a great honor for me to be here.
Because together, we're going to change the world.
Yes, Royer!
Yes, Royer!
He says that's what we're going to do.
How is your wife and how are you?
That's very kind of you to ask.
He says that's what we're gonna do.
How is your wife and how are you?
That's very kind of you to ask.
She had her birthday last week.
She's now been 18 months cancer free.
- She was diagnosed with cancer right after I was pardoned by President Trump.
Justo después que el presidente Trump me otorgó un perdón presidencial, justo después de ese momento, a mi esposa, a la esposa de Stone, la diagnostican con un cáncer muy agresivo, muy avanzado.
And I considered it a gift from Robert Mueller.
PTSD.
She is a Cuban-American.
PTSD.
She is a Cuban American.
Although she was born in Washington, D.C., her father was a Cuban diplomat.
And then she moved back to Havana.
She grew up in Havana as a little girl.
Then her father was reposted to Washington, D.C.
And then she moved back to Havana.
She grew up in Havana as a little girl.
Then her father was reposted to Washington, D.C.
And then Batista fell.
And like so many Cubans, he lost everything.
His home, his savings.
He went from being a high level diplomat to being a house painter.
he went from being a high level diplomat to being a house painter to being a fuller brush man a man who sold brushes door to door Then he was a printer.
And then he retired.
So my wife's parents... Fierce anti-communists.
Fierce.
Then he was a printer.
And then he retired.
So my wife's parents, fierce anti-communists.
Fierce.
So she's doing very, very well.
And the doctor said it was impossible.
But through the healing power of Jesus Christ, everything is possible.
But through the healing power of Jesus Christ, everything is possible.
Amen.
Que así sea.
Y la recuperación será tremenda y será total.
He says amen and that her recuperation will be tremendous and will be total.
Roger, si tienes una esposa cubano-americana, pues estás empapado de la realidad de Cuba.
Roger, if you have a Cuban wife, then you are pretty familiar with the reality in Cuba.
The political reality and whatnot.
Very much so.
What do you think about this which the Biden administration is doing about giving oxygen to a dying dictatorship?
For many years, many Americans misunderstood.
They thought that the way to open Cuba up was to do business there.
And what they didn't understand was that if you do business in Cuba, your partner is the government.
You can have no citizen partners.
So you give them dollars.
They give the people pesos.
And they use the money to strengthen the police state and to crack down on the people.
And now, without enormous subsidies from the Russians, the regime is...
Not as strong.
The Chinese have moved into the place of the Russians.
They have the same bio-anti-freedom ideology.
have moved into the place of the Russians.
- Los chinos hoy, es lo que digo yo, los chinos hoy representan lo que la Unión Soviética en su momento representó.
- They have the same vile anti-freedom ideology.
- Tienen la misma ideología anti-libertad.
- And Biden has no idea what he's doing.
Biden doesn't have an idea.
He doesn't have an idea about anything.
True.
Yeah.
- Biden no tiene idea de nada.
- Biden no tiene idea de nada.
- No tiene idea de nada.
- True.
- Sí.
- Bueno, la verdad es que Susan Rice, quien siempre ha sido suave en el régimen, - Susan Rice, que siempre ha tenido una mano suave con respecto al régimen y ese ángulo, - es quien está manejando las - es quien está manejando las políticas externas de Estados Unidos.
And they just, they're not at all realistic.
And they are not operating on a real basis.
About what's really going on in Cuba.
With respect to what's really happening in Cuba.
I have a...
I have a...
Now I mix Spanish with English and I don't speak any of the two.
Spanglish.
I have an idea, I always tell the audience, that if Trump is in power, when it happens on July 11th, we will be free today.
He says he has an idea which he has shared with a lot of people, that if Trump, hypothetically speaking, Were to have been in power in July 11th during the massive protests in the island that today Cuba would be free.
I think he's right.
Trump, in 2000, wrote an op-ed column for the Miami Herald.
About why he supported the embargo.
about why he supported the embargo.
Trump escribió una opinión en el Miami Herald sobre por qué él apoyaba el embargo y por qué lo apoya.
Spanish casino operators operadores de casinos españoles were always trying to get Trump siempre estaban intentando to partner with them que Trump se asociara con ellos to evade the embargo.
Para de esa forma evadir Yes, I want to do a casino business in Cuba.
But I will do it only when Cuba is free.
Trump is huge.
I mean, Trump needs to come back.
- But I will do it only when Cuba is free.
- But I will do it only when Cuba is free. - What's great, Trump.
That's why he has to come back, Roger.
He has to come back. - Trump is huge.
I mean, Trump needs to come back.
Those are the reasons why as well. - I think he's going to come back. - I think he'll come back.
I spoke to him Sunday night.
He is very optimistic about these upcoming elections.
And his idea of going to Miami.
What is essentially the final rally of the campaign.
It's a brilliant idea.
He says that they are going to do a caravan on Saturday.
- It's a brilliant idea. - It's a brilliant idea. - He says that they are gonna do a caravan on Saturday.
- Saving America.
- It's gonna be called Saving America. - To support the Republicans, to support the all Republicans, to support the community and to get everybody out to vote.
I think it is, Trump is going to give Marco Rubio a boost at exactly the right time.
Did you see the debate between Marco Rubio and Val Demings?
Yes.
It was the best debate I've ever seen in 40 years in American politics.
I agree.
He swept the floor with it.
- He swept the floor with it. - He was poised.
He was in control.
He was funny.
He never took the bait.
Every attack on him, he turned around to an attack on her.
No, you voted for a crazy budget.
No, you voted for the socialist budget.
No, you want to abort children right up to the moment that they're delivered.
He was so good that now I'm excited about voting for Marco Rubio.
Angry.
Too hot.
Shrill.
And she made the biggest single mistake you could ever make.
But as good as he was, she was terrible.
Angry, too hot, shrill, and she made the biggest single mistake you can ever make, the closed fist.
This is menacing.
There's nothing wrong with this.
Trump does this.
This is a mistake.
That's hostile.
Hitler used to do this all the time.
- Is violence. - Yes, yes. - Also Joe Biden. - The worst mistake that Demings makes in the debate is that in politics, all of the optics are He starts like this with his hand.
That's what Hitler does.
That's what Joe Biden does.
Trump, at least, takes his finger out.
But this gives a message.
Very different.
It's a lot of hate.
It's a lot of frustration.
That's the way the Democrat Party today is behaving.
That's their basis.
They don't have anything else.
They have nothing else to run on.
- And, and-- - It's a lot of hate, it's a lot of frustration, but that's the way the Democrat party today is behaving.
That's their basis.
- They don't have anything else.
- No tienen más nada.
- They have nothing else to run on.
- No tienen más nada para su plataforma.
- Last week, 10 days ago now, they released their subpoena, the January 6th committee subpoena for Donald Trump.
Hace unos 10 días, hace una semana, el comité del 6 de enero que investiga los actos ilegales que sucedieron en el Capitolio, ya le enviaron supina al expresidente Trump.
And the very first paragraph.
We want all communications between Donald Trump and Roger Stone.
From November 3rd, 2020 until today.
You know what I said?
It's an Italian word.
- From November 3rd, 2020. - Until today. - You know what I said? - It's an Italian word. - What does that mean?
He says.
- Fuck you. - Fuck you. - Fuck you. - Fuck you.
Roger, you've been in politics for over 40 years.
in politics all the time, but you learn to have that personality of yellow that you have.
Roger, you've been in politics for over 40 years.
The personality, the character of ice that you have, is that something that's learnable?
Is that something that came with you?
Were you always like this?
I mean, you know, the public persona and just the way you operate politically.
Was that always with you or is that learnable?
I think that... I think you learn it.
And you learn it...
By having both victories and defeats.
Because every time you lose, you learn something.
And you know what mistakes to avoid the next time.
derrotas because every time you lose you learn something and you know what mistakes to avoid the next time and there's no shame in losing perder So I believe in the concept of the man in the arena.
de una manera siempre negativa.
The only shame is in not fighting.
La única verdadera pérdida es cuando no estás luchando, cuando dejas de luchar.
So I believe in the concept of the man in the arena.
Yo creo mucho en el concepto del hombre en la cancha, del hombre arriba del ring.
Which means that the credit goes not to the man who stands on the sidelines.
¿Qué quiere decir?
Que el crédito va no al hombre que está parado a But the credit belongs to the man in the arena.
And points out how the man in the arena could do things better.
But the credit belongs to the man in the arena.
Who is covered in blood and sweat and dust.
And the man in the arena.
who spends himself in the great devotions.
And because he tries and tries but comes up short again and again.
And even so, because that person who is above the ring, he tries to try and try and not always wins, but sometimes he gets very close.
But still at the end of the day, he will either know the thrill of great victory, or he'll be satisfied that he did his very best.
Or he'll be satisfied that he did his very best.
Which is better than those timid souls who stand on the sidelines and say: "Oh, Otaola should do this, Otaola should do that." That's why I admire you so much.
Because you get in the arena.
And you're not afraid of anything.
So, I learned it.
And you're not afraid of anything.
So I learned it.
But you already know it.
Gracias. - Yeah.
What is Donald Trump behind everything which we see in the public eye?
Is he like that?
Most politicians... Let me start over again.
How is Donald Trump behind what we see?
Is Trump like that?
What is Donald Trump behind everything which we see in the public eye?
Is he like that?
Most politicians...
La mayor parte de los políticos...
Let me start over again.
Trump is not a politician.
A ver, Trump no es un político.
He's a political leader.
Es un líder político.
Politicians are phony.
Los políticos son... Payasos.
Son payasos.
They are, they are, most of them, you know, they're, they...
They're taking polls.
Focus groups.
Roundtables.
Everything they say is tested.
It's all predetermined.
focus groups, round tables, everything they say is tested, it's all predetermined.
The thing about Trump, he's the same in private as he is in public.
He's a brawler.
He is genuine.
He's authentic.
And he doesn't really care if he offends you.
He's going to tell you what he really thinks.
And this is why he was successful.
And that's why their triumph was also.
People were tired of politics as usual.
They saw all these politicians as being blow-dry confections.
Alright.
I'm not a professional translator.
He's doing pretty good.
Alright, so say that again.
Let me put it another way.
I've done it since I was very young with my parents.
The public is loving you.
Maybe.
He's doing pretty good.
Alright, so say that again.
Let me put it another way.
People were tired of all political institutions.
Tired of the Congress.
Tired of the government.
Tired of the Democrats.
Tired of the establishment Republicans.
Cansados del Congreso.
Estaban cansados del Gobierno.
Cansados de los demócratas.
Cansados de los republicanos.
Cansados también, muy importante, de los republicanos del establecimiento.
Pero por primera vez, ya no le creen a la media más.
This is why your podcasts have been so successful.
There's no big corporation here that owns this.
You don't have some boss telling you what you can and cannot say.
here that owns this.
You don't have some boss telling you what you can and cannot say.
And the people find this very refreshing.
So even when Trump was inexact, was not exactly right.
Okay, even when Trump was not correct in everything, when he was not accepted in everything, Even when he didn't say things in the most artful way.
Aun así, cuando no dijo cosas de la manera políticamente correcta.
People still liked him because they thought he was real.
Si, a las personas lo...
He came to the people because he realized he was one of them.
At least he was a real person, not a control person.
He changed the politics.
My view of my view, he changed the politics completely.
He reformed the Republican Party.
In his eyes, he's saying that he changed politics.
I just told him that he reshaped the Republican Party.
The people now want, my view of my view, a more front-end political.
So in his way of seeing things, he says that the people want a politician or a political leader that's just more frontal.
And they want to see politicians that actually represent that which they feel.
And they want to see politicians that actually represent that which they feel.
And from his perspective, that's what Trump achieved.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
The other side of it is, and people don't see this, he's fun to be with.
He's funny.
That's true.
He's funny.
He's fun to be with.
He's funny.
It's true.
He's funny.
He's self-deprecating.
He likes a good cheeseburger.
He's not fancy.
He's not fancy.
I give him the whole taxi and eating with the taxi and eating with the union or I'd rather eat with the taxi.
Yes.
So, he's a billionaire, but he never lost his working class roots in Queens, New York.
He's a billionaire, but he never lost his roots as a worker worker in Queens, New York.
Which is why I think he can relate to the average person.
That's why I feel that he can understand the daily person.
In a way, for example, the Bushes could not.
In a way, for example, the Bushes could not.
Although they would try very hard.
Yes.
Oh, we wear cowboy boots.
We listen to country music.
We like to eat pork rinds.
Oh, we wear cowboy boots.
We listen to country music.
We like to eat pork rinds.
It was all bullshit.
People saw it through.
It wasn't real.
With Trump, it's real.
The real people.
Yes, so I sent that Miami Herald story about so I sent that Miami Herald story about the FIU poll.
Yes.
To the president.
I circled your name.
- To the president.
I circled your name.
I said he has to come and do your show. - And he said, "Trump, you have to come to the show." - Or you go there and do the show.
Okay, I'll go, I'll go.
Or if you don't go there, you do the show there.
I went once to the Torre del Doral.
Doral would be perfect.
Doral would be perfect.
It would be huge.
It would be massive.
It would be massive.
It would make history.
It would be historical.
I think you'd have the biggest audience you've ever had.
You'd have the biggest audience you've ever had.
I did an interview for the 2020 campaign and it was a very cool experience.
He says he interviewed him for the 2020 campaign.
It was a very nice experience.
Yes, but I think it's time to do it again.
For me, it's the moment.
Now is the moment.
For me, it's the moment.
Yes.
Now is the moment.
Well, I think we're very close.
I think it is not impossible that he will become a candidate between now and November 8th.
Completely possible.
He likes to keep everybody guessing.
Completely possible.
He likes to keep everybody guessing.
But I have no doubt that he's running again.
He has told me he's running again.
And that he will win.
He's put together a whole new team.
Completely different people.
All people I know.
People that I have a very high regard for.
He's put together a whole new team.
Completely different people.
All people I know.
People that I have a very high regard for.
In terms of their capability.
Tony Fabrizio, the pollster.
Tony Fabrizio, with the polls.
Chris Lasavita.
Chris Lasavita.
He's the manager.
He's the manager.
Alex Pfeiffer doing communications.
Much, much better people than 2020.
And all of them 100% loyal to Donald Trump.
None of them establishment Republicans.
And all of them 100% loyal to Donald Trump.
None of them establishment Republicans.
This is going to be the greatest political comeback in American history.
I agree with that.
So, we had a president.
Grover Cleveland.
A democrat.
I agree with that.
So we had a president.
Then we had a president.
Rover Cleveland.
A Democrat.
He was elected president.
They stole his reelection.
They stole his reelection.
He came back and won again.
He was a New Yorker.
It's the only time it's happened in American history.
It's about to happen again.
It seems like history will repeat itself.
It seems like history will repeat itself.
I think so.
Roger, you were telling me that Trump has high hopes with these midterm elections.
How do you feel that things are looking for the midterms?
It seems like a lot more Republicans have came out to vote.
It seems like we're expecting a red wave.
- All right, so how do you feel that things are looking for the midterms?
It seems like a lot more Republicans have came out to vote.
It seems like we're expecting a red wave. - More coffee, Roger?
- Si, claro.
Without sugar, please!
Please.
- Eduardo.
- The electorate is very volatile. - El electorado es muy versatil.
Voluble.
And therefore, it's always very dangerous to make predictions too early.
Because big things can change everything.
Because big things can change everything.
So for example, the overturning of Roe v Wade.
And then the raid on Mar-a-Lago for the documents.
The red-dada, the cateo in Mar-a-Lago to obtain documents.
Big cataclysmic events can change everything.
But as we run out of time, it becomes clearer what's going to happen.
So unless we have World War III, which is possible, between now and November 8th, I think there is a red wave coming. between now and November 8th, I think there is a You said if it doesn't happen, right?
If it doesn't happen.
If it doesn't happen.
- - - - - - - Those who say 35 are wrong.
A certain number of seats will be stolen from us in some states.
Those who say 35 are wrong.
A certain number of seats will be stolen from us in some states.
Today, I think we have 50 seats in the Senate.
We need one more.
Could be Pennsylvania.
Could be Nevada.
Could be Arizona.
I think those are our best possible chances.
- Me encanta la señora que está corriendo para gobernador de Arizona.
- Esas serían las mejores posibilidades.
He's saying that he loves the lady that is running for governor of Arizona.
- That's my candidate for vice president.
Trump Lake.
Me gusta eso.
Dice Stone que la candidata ideal en este momento para la vicepresidencia sería Lake.
Me encanta esa fórmula.
Me encanta esa fórmula.
Plus, she's very hot.
Y se ve, dice Roger que se ve muy bien.
A strong woman.
A woman.
Somebody that with such a smile just stomps on everybody.
Somebody described her last week as the female Reagan.
A strong woman, a woman, somebody that with such a smile just stomps on everybody.
Somebody described her last week as the female Reagan.
Yeah, sí, es como la reencarnación.
Because she's very good, but she never seems angry.
She's always in control.
But she destroys the left with a smile instead of a snarl.
But she destroys the left with a smile.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, it's fantastic.
But, as well, the press has a big control.
That's a big control.
Every time they ask questions, they ask questions, they ask questions, Beautiful, thank you.
He's explaining that anytime that the press asks her anything, she has a great dominance over her message and over her response.
She used to be a newscaster.
She used to be a media personality.
Reagan used to be an actor.
Reagan used to be an actor.
Yes.
Reagan fue actor.
It's the same training.
Es el mismo entrenamiento.
She's ready.
Ella está lista.
In 24 she'll have been governor for two years.
I think she'll have a success story.
Because she's going to close the border between Arizona and Mexico.
And she's going to clean up the McCain corruption.
I'm not as impressed with Tulsi Gabbard.
I'm not as impressed with Tulsi Gabbard.
She's pretty.
But she was for Bernie Sanders twice.
Twice.
- It's nice, but it's someone like Chris.
It's someone who goes politically... - But she voted for Sanders, right? - She voted for Sanders.
- Twice.
- Twice.
And she belongs to a lot of socialist organizations.
When she was younger.
And she left the Democrats.
And she left the Democrats.
But she did not become a Republican.
But it can be.
Yes, it was liberal.
But it can be a strategy too.
Roger is the king of the strategies.
This can be a scandal created by Democrats to trap people, to create changes in the party.
Roger, he says you're the king of ideas and king of politics.
But do you think this could be a strategy?
that they're purposely putting forward Or is there anything behind this?
Or are they just... I want to give her the benefit of the doubt.
But she's been a congresswoman from Hawaii.
She was a congresswoman from Hawaii.
But she did have a distinguished military record.
But I want her to become a Republican.
But I want her to become a Republican.
Also to be president or vice president.
You want somebody who's run something.
You want somebody who's run something.
It's an executive job.
It's not a legislative job.
So I think she has a great future.
But Carrie Lake is going to have two years to prove herself.
I like Carrie Lake.
Lake tendrá dos años para mostrar de qué está hecha.
Sí.
A mí me gusta Kerry Lake.
¿Y qué piensas de la frontera, Roger?
I like Kerry Lake.
Roger, what do you think about the border?
This is a national scandal.
It's just wide open.
They don't even pretend to have a secure border.
And the cartels are in control.
They don't even pretend to have a secure border.
And the cartels are in control.
They're bringing in fentanyl.
They're bringing in disease.
They're bringing in criminals.
This is why you have the crime epidemic across the country.
This is why you have the crime epidemic across the country.
You also have more by sea, you have more Cubans trying to come here than any time since the... much bigger than the Mario Boatlift.
In this moment, we have more Cubans coming to the United States with numbers that surpassed the Mario.
But that is an exodus that is even a vatician.
That is an exodus that is caused by the dictatorship to chantag-e-ar Biden and chantag-e-ar the Democrats.
From his perspective, this is all created by the regime in Cuba to kind of...
I totally agree.
I totally agree.
But, you notice how no one in the Spanish language media in Miami talks about it.
No one.
It's like it's not even happening.
245,000 people have tried to come here from Cuba.
Many more than in the Mario... Twice.
245,000 people have tried to come here from Cuba.
245,000 people.
Mucho más que el Mariel.
Twice, casi el doble.
Y realmente la prensa latina, la prensa cubana y las plataformas de nuestra comunidad son muy paternalistas.
Le pasan mucho la mano y no quieren lucir como que critican al inmigrante.
- Yeah, he is saying that our press, the Latino press, especially the Cuban press, most of them, they're very careful about not trying to bash the immigrant too much or get to the root of what's really going on.
Well, obviously, not everyone who's trying to come here is a criminal.
