Time Text
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!
And welcome!
I'm Roger Stone, and you are about to enter the Stone Zone.
When I told people that I was interviewing Lindsey Graham on the Stone Zone tonight, they said, why would you have that jerk on your show?
No, not that Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham we have with us today is also known as Patriot Barbie.
She's a businesswoman, an entrepreneur, an activist, a patriot, a spitfire, a warrior, a Christian, an all-around American hero.
Here's a short video just to tell you who she is and then she joins us right afterwards.
And new tonight, a Salem salon plans on defying the governor's coronavirus orders by reopening for business.
I'm risking going to jail to do it.
That's how important it is to my family.
So I'm going to walk you guys through the timeline of what the government has tried to do to me in the last 10 days.
OSHA came into my salon and informed me that they would return the next day.
If I didn't comply and shut my doors, They would then issue me a $70,000 citation.
And if you can possibly believe this, child protective services showed up at my home.
Two government agencies now weaponized to go against a stylist simply because she wants to work.
She decided to open up her business despite the orders to shut down.
I had a right to feed my children, I had a right to feed my family, and I had a right to work.
She was one of the first business owners to take a stand.
A law owner is suing Governor Kate Brown for what she says is a violation of her civil rights.
Everyone's job is essential.
Not because of what we do or how we do it, but because it's the way we make our living.
You say that our, you know, our government doesn't have the right to take away our ability to earn a living.
Having Kate Brown personally sick her agencies on me and harass me and bully me, she's way out of her league and it's time that someone told her that.
Lindsey Graham, you're not out of yours.
Yes, I'm doing this for me and my family, but I am doing it for you now, too.
Lindsey, also, you've got the nickname now online as the Patriot Barbie.
And there you have it, and there she is.
Lindsey Graham, Patriot Barbie, joins us on the Stone Zone.
And now everyone can see that I'm not an old, decrepit rhino.
I think you look terrific.
Lindsay, I can't even begin to tell you how much I admire you and the way you have turned adversity to your advantage and stood up for your family, your country, your God, and you've taken this well beyond the initial fight.
The story that we've just seen is a dramatic one where the Jack-booted thugs in the Oregon state government tried to destroy your business, the way you support your family, and you stood up to them.
And the nickname Patriot Barbie, I guess, was given to you derisively by some libtard But rather than be insulted, you've embraced it.
I love that.
I love it.
That is correct.
It's all correct.
Thank you, Roger.
That means a lot to me.
I never thought, of course, that I'd be on your podcast hearing these kind of accolades from someone of your stature.
So, it is actually truly a reflection of God's grace and God's beautiful, beautiful plan for all of us because, you know, like you said, I was Just a salon owner in Oregon.
I was minding my own business.
I wasn't following politics.
Certainly was not voting appropriately or even paying attention.
And, you know, when the government came for me and the cancel culture came for me, I got a real up close and personal look at what it looks like to be a divided nation and what the left believes and what the right believes.
And I certainly chose the side of the right.
And it's been A beautiful journey ever since God has literally plucked me out of an old life and said you belong here because you are my warrior and it's been the biggest blessing of my life to get cancelled and find that purpose and have my place in this movement.
I can completely identify with that.
It was not until I turned my life over to Christ and So, I understand exactly what you mean, because it changes everything.
It changes your view of everything, and we're now God-directed.
In other words, here's what I learned.
God has a plan.
He doesn't always tell you His entire plan at once.
He tells you His plan as He needs you to know it.
God's plan has taken you, I'm happy to say, from Oregon to Arizona, where I hope you are safer and more prosperous, but you didn't just leave it there.
You've taken the fight against those who would destroy our history, who would cancel our culture, who would vilify us, destroy our families.
You're fighting in the school boards.
You're fighting in the public arena.
Tell us about what you're working on today.
Yeah, so, you know, I almost feel like God has called me into a kind of full-time activism.
I wouldn't even necessarily call it a ministry yet, but boy, there's a lot going on in our culture that hits everybody very, very hard.
And the people that don't realize how it's affecting them yet, I feel very, very bad for.
But one thing that I know is when you find your identity in Christ, it's very easy to then be able to look at yourself and go, okay, what did God gift me with?
And some of the things that God gifted me with is a loud, unapologetic, boisterous voice, the ability to be very confident in my belief system, my morals, my values, and to be very unapologetic about that.
And so activism to me is taking these fights on in areas where other people may not be as comfortable.
And it's really easy to quote, fight the fight when you're surrounded by your peers and surrounded by people who believe what you believe.
But I'm at school board speaking against transvestites who are using the little girls' restrooms when they're grown men, and I'm surrounded by People wearing trans flags and pride flags and people who would say that I'm hateful and I'm divisive.
And it's very, very hard to speak up like that when you're surrounded by the enemy.
But God has really laid the groundwork for me.
And you know, when he calls you into something, he doesn't say, you know, here's what I've given you to pursue this.
He says, do it and I will equip you when you agree.
And I have just continued to agree and agree every day and taken my fight to social media, And boots on the ground.
And you know, one of the things I think you're referring to is I've spoken up against this transvestite board member.
I also found out that he uses my gym and I called the cops on him when he was in the locker room with me.
And you know, I'm not sorry about that.
And more people need to do these really, really hard things.
Like, it's going to hurt his feelings that I don't identify him as a woman.
It's going to hurt a lot of people's feelings when I say, You can't be a woman.
You can't use our restrooms.
And on a person-by-person basis, sure, I'm sorry that that hurts your feelings as a Christian, but I'm also called to fight against that which is evil.
And we know that this war on our children and this war on women is evil.
And so to sit back and stay quiet is certainly not, I believe, what God calls us to do.
And so, you know, I'm glad to be a voice for those who aren't quite ready to speak up or act up.
and be a voice of empowerment for people who need to see that, yes, when you follow God's will and you do what he calls you to do, he is going to bless that journey.
Well, Alan Jacoby, who's a great friend of the show, who has a company, My Patriot Cigars, which is one of our sponsors, says that his company would not even exist He wouldn't have a payment processing process if it weren't for you and your business acumen.
He was one of those who said you absolutely must have her on the show and we're very grateful that you're here.
Reflect for us for a moment on the fact that it's International Women's Day but all of the accolades seem to be going to men claiming they're women.
It's weird.
It's so strange, and I think the strangest part about it is that this is one day out of 365 where it was just designated for women.
How is it that Jill Biden couldn't find one strong woman to honor?
One strong, real, biological woman to honor?
And it's almost like They purposefully went and found a trans, which is not a real thing, right?
A man, to take over that date for us.
It was such a slap in the face.
It will continue to be a slap in the face every time a man takes a trophy from a woman in women's sports.
A man takes a spot on International Women's Day where a woman belongs.
And you have to ask yourself, we know that that man Was not the best candidate for this.
I mean, he wasn't a candidate at all because he's a man, but he wasn't the best candidate.
So why did she so intentionally choose a man if it wasn't to not just cater to the woke mob, but it's like almost like they're trying to intentionally piss us off, which I love because the more pissed off we get, the more active people get.
And I feel like, why are you building your own army against yourself?
Because you are activating so many of us when you do these things against us.
It's vile, it's hurtful, it's disparaging, and it's insulting to women when anyone stops to say trans women are women.
That's just not true.
And I feel like this is why we get called hateful and divisive, because we speak truth, and the truth is, No man, Republican or not, conservative or not, no man, Caitlyn Jenner included, Blaire White included, who claimed to be on our side.
The truth is no man can be a woman and we have got to, as women, fight for ourselves and we need men, real men, to come and fight alongside us and protect us and honor us.
Very well said, folks.
Lindsay has written a book, Targeted, One Woman's Fight for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
You can get it at her website.
You see we have your website address there.
We have it back up there.
There it is, PatriotBarbie.com.
She also has a great line of clothing.
I urge folks to go there and check it out.
It is absolutely true what you say.
I gave a speech in New Jersey shortly before the election, and all I said in the context of my speech is there are only two genders, women and men.
Seems to me to be a fairly non-controversial comment, but the amount of hate mail that I got was greater than any other public issue I've ever spoken out on.
It really does defy logic, but what people don't understand Is that attacks on us are not going to knock us back.
Attacks on people like Lindsey Graham are not going to move her away from the target.
She's just going to double down and work harder to save our country, our history, our culture, and so on.
What are your immediate plans here?
I know you moved to Arizona.
I was very happy to see that because I've had some experience in Oregon and all of it was bad.
Are you finding things safer and better for your family in Arizona?
Yeah, they have been so far.
I was really, really excited about having Carrie Lake as my governor.
I believe that she is rightfully probably the governor, and so I'm a little nervous about Katie Hobbs.
Actually, I'm very nervous.
She's basically the replica of Kate Brown, which was the governor in Oregon who tortured me.
Again, going back to, I don't count on government officials or politicians to save me anymore.
I believe that God is on the throne.
I believe he's in control of all of this.
And I think, you know, that goes to credit, you know, what you were saying about attacking us for our beliefs isn't going to work anymore because as soon as they made that meme and called me the Patriot Barbie, it's like a switch got flipped.
And I said, you know what?
First of all, that is not an insult.
Second of all, If you're going to label me this, then that's what I'm going to be.
It's like they created their own nemesis.
They created this monster.
And since that moment, I have sort of flicked off their insults and their slander and their hate as if it really means as nothing as it does.
You know, God has shown me who I am in Him, and you can say things about me that aren't true.
How could they possibly be insulting if they're not true?
And all it does really is showcase, you know, that the left is the party of hatefulness and divisiveness and non-inclusivity and division.
And so, you know, good for them.
They can just harass us all day.
It doesn't make a difference.
In fact, if anything, it empowers us.
So I'm very, very thankful for the group of leftists that continue to show me I did choose the right side.
And as far as the future goes, I did write my book.
I'm doing quite a bit of book signing events now across the country.
I'm on a speaking tour where I'm speaking at Republican events, women's events, churches.
I have a really beautiful story of how God prepared me to be the person that I am today.
And it goes, you know, very far back all the way into my twenties when I made some really bad decisions that God's using to glorify him now and save people's lives.
And so speaking is really what I'm focusing on.
I want to empower the men and women of America to do what I did.
Get canceled, stand up for what's right, and see what journey God will put you on if you just sit back and be still and obey. - There you have it, folks.
Lindsay has a family emergency, so she's not gonna be able to join us for as long as we would love to have her.
But Lindsay, I'm very grateful for your joining us on the Stone Zone today.
And you're invited back to talk about your journey and your epic fight.
You're an inspiration to every right-thinking American out there.
God bless you, your family, give my regards to your husband, and thanks for diving in to The Stone Zone.
Yes, Roger, thank you so much for having me.
You are a true patriot, and I would Love to come back anytime and chat with the legend.
God bless you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
All right, folks, that was the good Lindsey Graham.
No, not that Lindsey Graham, the other Lindsey Graham.
It was a leftist who first called her Patriot Barbie, but rather than be insulted because, of course, she is quite beautiful, she embraced that title and she has used it in the culture wars against the left.
They tried to destroy her business in Oregon.
They tried to lock her down.
She stood up and fought them and it has completely changed her life.
She has been empowered by the Lord.
As my friend Alan Jacoby said, she is a true spitfire.
She is a warrior.
She is God-directed And we are grateful that she was able to join us today.
You can go to patriotbarbie.com, grab a copy of her great book, which again is targeted, One Mom's Fight for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
I scanned through it.
It is a great read.
She deserves your support and your prayers, and we thank her again for joining us on The Stone Zone.

We have a second segment a little bit later on.
Wall Street wizard John Tobacco joins us.
This is the smartest guy I know on Wall Street.
He knows more about the market and the country's economic future than anyone I know.
But the great thing about John Tobacco is that he understands the overlay of business and the country's economy With politics.
And not every business person knows that.
He's going to join us shortly.
But before we go to John Tobacco, we're going to go to the grab bag of questions that come in through AskStone at StoneZone.com.
You can send your questions there to AskStone at StoneZone.com and we will try to consider them in the order that they come.
But if we don't get to your question today, There's every chance we'll get to it tomorrow or Monday, as long as it is still germane.
Eric Tausch in Golden's Bridge, New York asks, why are you opposed to a Trump DeSantis ticket?
Let me try to clarify this.
It's a question that keeps coming up, but obviously not 100% of the people are paying attention 100% of the time.
The rules of the Electoral College Do not specifically prohibit a party from nominating two people who live in the same state, who have their legal residence in the same state.
However, it does penalize such a party, meaning that if a Trump DeSantis ticket was nominated, which I admit to would be an extraordinarily attractive ticket, And they carried Florida, which they surely would.
They would forfeit the 37 electoral votes of Florida in the Electoral College.
Therefore, the path to the presidency is so extraordinarily narrow for a Republican.
Never thought I'd be saying that.
But with the current election laws in Pennsylvania, in Michigan particularly, unlikely to be reformed In time for the next elections, a Republican candidate for president, in order to get 270 electoral votes, must carry Florida, must carry Ohio, must carry Georgia, must carry Arizona, must carry Wisconsin, and must carry Ohio.
All other states I think are pretty easy to predict.
And therefore there's no circumstance under which the Republican ticket could afford to forfeit the 37 electoral votes of Florida.
And that is why it is unrealistic, although not strictly prohibited, I'm sure this question is going to come up again.
I notice in the comments on Twitter and on True Social and elsewhere, the solution of many patriots, many MAGA people in the party who both like President Trump, love President Trump, but like, or in some cases, love Governor Ron DeSantis is a Trump-DeSantis ticket, and I'm telling you that's not going to happen, folks.
Thank you very much for your question.
Here is Barry from Calgary, Canada.
Very interesting.
Says, is it true that the DeSantis people cancelled your ticket to his book appearance in The Villages?
I don't know where this story began, but I never had any plans to attend.
Governor DeSantis' book tour event in the villages.
I do know somebody who was a strong, strong Trump supporter.
Their ticket was canceled without explanation.
I did comment on it on Twitter and I guess some people thought that this somehow was my ticket.
No, this is a misnomer.
There was quite a flap, which I'm sure a number of you saw, where Laura Loomer, a good friend of mine, good friend of the show, and a group of other Trump supporters were turned away from a DeSantis book event because they were wearing Trump paraphernalia, Trump t-shirts and so on.
Look, if Governor DeSantis were in some way to slip by Donald Trump for the Republican nomination, which I've gone through the reasons on this show many times, I think to be highly unlikely.
He could not win without the support of Trump supporters.
And therefore, Fractricide in our party is not a good idea.
A terrific article in New York Magazine about a week ago, which I thought was the most realistic one I'd seen, which demonstrates that Donald Trump continues to maintain not only a large, but an intense lead in all of the early polls in the key states, plus nationally.
But there's a difference, and that is Trump voters are not necessarily Republican voters.
It is Donald Trump's ability to pull out certain blue-collar ethnic Democrats, overwhelmingly Catholic, who did not vote for Mitt Romney, did not vote for John McCain, in fact in most cases did not turn out or voted for the Democrats.
They will not just vote automatically for any Republican.
Donald Trump speaks to them in a very special way and it is why I continue to believe that That he is the strongest nominee.
You fellas in the control room, let me know when John Tobacco is with us.
Otherwise, I'm going to continue answering questions.
Do we have time?
Okay, good.
One more question and we'll go to the smartest guy on Wall Street.
Here's a question from Larry in Sacramento, California.
Larry asks, do you think the United States government is responsible for the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline?
It's a very complicated question.
The very well-known investigative reporter Sy Hersh, Seymour Hersh, who has written this story, now works as an independent investigative journalist, has won several Pulitzer Prizes.
as an investigative reporter for the New York Times, quite celebrated on the left, has written what he claims to be the definitive piece, making the case that the Biden administration bombed the Russian pipeline, which had been previously shut down by President which had been previously shut down by President Donald Trump.
Lee Smith, who is also a commentator, writer, researcher, someone for whom I have extraordinary respect, has written a very definitive piece questioning Cy Hirsch's narrative.
So I guess the question is, I think you need multiple sources.
I have not seen multiple sources cited by Mr. Hirsch.
On the other hand, would I put it past this administration?
And the answer is no, I would not.
As far as I personally am concerned, the jury is still out on that question, but I thank you very much for phoning it in.
All right, now joining us, literally the smartest guy on Wall Street, John Tobacco, who is the host of a great show, The Wise Guys, on Newsmax, joins us now.
Roger, thanks for having me as always.
Now that is a great looking sports coat right there.
Well thank you man.
I always got to try to step up my game because you know I want to get on the list next year.
You know this year I was a little disappointed.
Greg Kelly beat me out.
Well, you know, I think you're a strong frontrunner for next year.
As I've explained to others, I can't have too many people from the same news outlet.
Brandon Howes is right up there with you.
Brandon Howes with Frank Speech and Worldview.
He's another heavy contender for this year's international best-dressed list.
First, let me ask you, John, by the way, that's called a windowpane that John has there on his sports jacket, and it is a most elegant look.
John, I want to start out by asking you about President Joe Biden's new proposed tax plan in which he says that he would First of all, do you think this is a good idea?
I think it's a terrible idea, Roger.
I mean, I'm in the camp of the Larry Kudlow's and the Stephen Moore's, where I like supply side.
the next 10 years.
First of all, do you think this is a good idea? - No, I think it's a terrible idea, Raja.
I mean, I'm in the camp of the Larry Kudlow's and the Stephen Moore's where I like supply side.
I wanna see people have lower taxes I want to see people have more, more money in their pocket.
And you know, somehow or another, uh, the Democrats always, you know, if you think about my grandfather, he used to love to garden, you know, um, and maybe you got to do a little prune here and there, but you can never cut your way to growth.
So if you want to keep cutting, uh, spending and plans and this other stuff, if you ask me, The main thing we need to cut are taxes.
And the more money you start asking people for out of their pocket, the less money there's going to be out there for people to spend.
And you know, Roger, we've talked about it many times on your show.
Jerome Powell has been abundantly clear with America.
He needs to keep raising interest rates.
And why does he need to keep raising rates to get inflation under control?
That's not working.
Why is he doing that?
And he said this over and over again.
The pundits on these channels like CNBC and Fox Business, they try to trick the regular investor at home.
But the chairman has been very clear.
He must raise rates.
Why is he raising rates?
Because he wants to cool off the job market.
You know, Milton Friedman said inflation is simple.
Too many dollars chasing too few goods.
So all this artificial stimulation that the government pumped into the markets over the last couple of years, it's got to get wiped out of the system.
We've printed almost 20% of all the dollars in circulation right now in the magic printing press in the sky we have over there at the Fed and Treasury Department.
And at the end of the day, the Fed has been clear.
We must cool off the jobs market.
That's not even happening.
As you can see, job numbers are still good.
So that means they're going to have to keep raising rates.
And the more they raise rates, the less access to capital people have.
Those small business guys who want to go buy a new pizza oven so that they can improve and be more energy efficient.
Maybe hire two extra guys to make pizzas.
They can't go to the bank and afford to get that anymore because when the rates were 4%, maybe it was cost effective and they'd get the return on investment.
When the rates are 7 or 8 percent, they no longer go out and do it.
They don't do the work in the place.
They don't hire a plumber.
New home sales, new home starts are down.
And we've had both Lowe's, Home Depot, Berkshire Hathaway all come out and report that they're softening in their operating cash flows.
And that's from people's wages coming down a bit.
Less money to spend.
Discretionary spending is way down.
And when you see Lowe's and Home Depot out there saying that they expect a softening in the housing market, that means all those construction workers, laborers, plumbers, electricians who would be working on those new home starts, they're not going to be getting those jobs.
And those people will contribute to our policy through Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen is slow down the market.
Do you think, John, that the American people understand the connection between the massive spending spree that this administration has been on?
Notice Biden is not talking about cutting spending.
in this country that are against what America was founded on, pursuit of excellence. - Do you think, John, that the American people understand the connection between the massive spending spree that this administration has been on?
Notice Biden is not talking about cutting spending.
He only talks about increasing taxes as a way to address inflation.
Do the average Americans connect the idea that this massive spending on behalf of this administration is what is responsible for record inflation?
Do you think people get that?
Well, I can tell you this, Roger.
You mentioned that someone said you might go to the villages for a book party or something.
I don't take you as the guy who hangs out at the villages, first of all, but I'll tell you who understands it.
A lot of those folks that live at the villages and in those senior homes, you know, we have inflation at just about 7%, 6% and change right now.
And last year, all the seniors in our country who worked hard their whole life, some of them are veterans and raised families, all those people who get this social security check, they got a cost of living adjustment last year of about 6%.
So you would think, wow, that's a fantastic thing for all our seniors.
They deserve it.
Um, but if you get a 6% increase and inflation is at 7%, all the seniors in this country actually took a pay cut in the last year.
And no, your point, I think older folks realize it because they got an increase in their monthly stipend from the government, but it doesn't make up for the cost of goods increases.
So they're feeling it.
But I don't think a lot of other people realize That, um, look, Donald Trump had to do some spending at the end of his term to get COVID under control.
We saw that.
But since Joe Biden's come in, they printed so many, about 20% of all the dollars in circulation have been printed since Joe Biden's administration took over.
And the bottom line on that is people don't understand it is, um, you've been diluted.
So even though you don't feel it because you pull out that $1 bill and it still says one on it, But it only gets you buying power these days of about 80 cents.
So that's why people don't realize it because they just still see that one buck.
And the best telltale for all the moms out there and all the great followers of Roger Stone is this.
I love myself some dollar store.
I love running around and filling up the cart with soap and all this other stuff that's super cheap.
All the dollar stores are $1.25 now.
So that's about as clear as day.
When you see the dollar store is $1.25, it kind of brings it into focus for you.
Yeah, I guess calling your store the $1.25 store doesn't really just like roll off the tongue from a branding point of view.
Do you notice the way that Biden uses debt and deficit interchangeably in his rhetoric, claiming that he has lowered The debt, when in fact there is some reduction in the deficit, but they're not the same, are they?
No, they're not the same.
And by the way, even, you know, many times I refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you know, it's another one of these three-letter agencies, the BLS.
And I always say, leave out the L for liars, because what they feed America is usually BS over there.
You know, when they say they're cutting spending, what the kind of footnote, and you know this stuff, Roger, but just for people at home, there's a projected increase in spending every year.
And really what the guy says when he says he's cutting deficits, cutting debt, he's saying we're just going to spend a little less than we had originally projected we would spend.
We're actually still spending more, but they counted as deficit reduction if it's less than they had projected last year.
So it's kind of like, I call it fun with numbers.
You know, they kind of use semantics to get people to think, oh, wow, look, we've, you know, cut the deficit.
We're not really cutting the deficit.
We're cutting the percent increase in deficit spending.
But still, it's going up.
One of the more extraordinary things that I've seen Whenever he or his spokeswoman are asked about the rate of inflation, Biden routinely says, yeah, but look what I inherited.
What is he talking about?
He inherited one of the most robust economies in American history.
He inherited, first of all, record job growth, record wage growth, the lowest levels of unemployment among all subgroups of American men, women, Younger, older, black, Hispanic, Asian, and so on.
And he most importantly inherited one of the lowest inflation rates in recent modern history.
Inflation has continued to flare under this president, but he seems to be anxious to blame Donald Trump.
What do you think?
Well, look, you know, many of us would love to get an inheritance like Joe Biden got, as you mentioned, all the notables, lowest inflation, 1.4% inflation, gas prices were in the twos, we're almost energy independent.
And the main thing that I love that you mentioned, but other people don't notice, up until the pandemic, real wages, which is growth in wages, Outside of as compared to inflation, real wages had grown under Donald Trump through three years, 7%.
So wages were going up and this is going across all geographic, all socioeconomic, upper middle, middle and certainly lower class people, lower middle income people were seeing the best because 7% was big on their smallest salary.
And Donald Trump actually was delivering real wage growth to the tune of 7%.
Since Joe Biden's been in office, that 7% has been given back and real wages now compared to inflation are minus 3%.
So again, when we talk about all the 20% of the money that's been printed in the last two years makes your buck worth 80 cents, and then your wages, which were on their way up, are now actually down 10% as compared to inflation.
You start getting to a place where your buck is worth like Instead of a dollar, it's worth 70 cents now based on real wages.
So, you know, those people over there, Roger, I don't have to tell you, them and their friends in the mainstream media, they want to keep telling us we're not seeing what we all know we're seeing.
And, you know, from Russia collusion to the impeachment to the Roger Stone incidents and across the board, the masks, the lockdown, the vaccines.
One by one by one, we've actually started to see that, you know, Trump was right all along.
And number two, these people will stone cold lie right to our faces and tell us we don't see what we know we're seeing.
That's a perfect segue into my next question.
Tucker Carlson is just a man of enormous integrity and strength.
Rarely have I seen the kind of backlash from the political establishment and those in the Uniparty over his very brave and, I think, accurate reporting regarding the events of January 6th.
Here on the Stone Zone, Kara Kostranova, who is your partner and the wise guys on Newsmax, a great show.
If you haven't seen it, folks, check it out.
Was here to speak truth to power regarding January 6th.
She has done some of the best investigative reporting on individual January 6th cases.
I have been slimed myself.
By the January 6th Committee, so I know how phony their narrative is.
Various witnesses before the January 6th Committee committed perjury in the use of my name.
They even showed completely fabricated, deep fake videos in one case.
In another case, a totally fabricated video, putting words in my mouth that I never said.
And I had to, I was forced to come out and say that any claim that I
I was gratified when a federal judge, an Obama appointee I might add, Judge Mehta, actually knocked out a bunch of civil claims against me pertaining to January 6 on the basis that there was no evidence to support them.
Then late yesterday, I got a call from a guy who's in the media, a friend of mine, a friend of ours, John, who told me that he had heard that Tucker Carlson was under enormous pressure from Rupert Murdoch, who in turn was under enormous pressure from those in the political establishment, to end his reporting on January 6th.
A story which, frankly, when I heard, I doubted.
But then when I watched Tucker Carlson last night, nothing was amiss.
His courageous and, I think, accurate reporting continues.
What have you thought of these three days of stories now?
Well, look, I gotta admit, first of all, you're spot on with Kara's investigations.
To me, she's written some of the most worthwhile and deeply Um, source things that I've seen on all of the January 6 stories.
And, uh, you know, being on Newsmax, of course, you know, we're trying to always tell the truth.
We were the first show on television to have, um, an actual January 6 prisoner on the show.
We had, uh, Jake Lang from, on the phone from inside his cell in, uh, the DC Gulag.
Um, and we, um, by the, through the work of Carol, we were the first network To have Ashley Babbitt's mom, Mickey, on and tell that story.
And I've had Enrique on my show and other Proud Boys on my show.
I was actually down at the Proud Boys trial a couple weeks ago covering it myself.
And as a reporter, I was a little disappointed that Kevin McCarthy went and dumped it all in Tucker's lap.
But I also respect what Tucker does a lot.
I think he's been a truth teller on this stuff.
If you ask me, this, you know, goes in the same category of, you know, some of the Democrats in Congress now trying to ask Matt Taibbi who his sources were over at Twitter.
These people can't accept the fact that they lost and they can't accept the fact that when the truth is told, Americans want to believe it.
And they think the more times they tell us something, the opposite of something, we're going to believe it.
I hope Tucker holds strong.
I was a little disappointed.
They put out a quote from Tucker the other night where it was at least attributed to him where he had texted someone saying we're almost near the time where we never have to have Trump on again.
I can't wait for that moment.
So I was a little taken back by that.
But overall, look, there's dozens and dozens of Americans who were Maybe they were guilty of trespass or protesting in a government place or something, but these people have been held on over-the-top charges.
Some of their speedy trial and discovery obligations weren't met.
And when I was at the trial down in D.C.
a couple of weeks ago, one of the J6 prisoners was handed his discovery for the first time at one of the hearings, and I couldn't believe it was true, but Um, a lot of crazy things have happened and I hope, you know, I think a lot of Americans are sitting home saying, wait a minute, this crazy shaman guy with the horns on and everything.
I thought he was this evil guy who broke into the Senate.
Now you find out that the cops were walking him down the hallway, trying to help him find an open door.
And you start wondering, man, if this guy had that discovery or if his attorney had that discovery, his trial probably would have went in a much different direction.
And by the way, maybe the big lie that we keep trying to be convinced was Donald Trump told the lie.
Maybe the big lie is that this whole thing on January 6th was a creation of Nancy Pelosi and friends so that they could break up the idea of sending it back to the states for an investigation.
And I think that was the governmental process that was interrupted, not the certification of the electoral college votes.
Very well said.
So let's talk about that enormous logo you have over your shoulder.
CommonSenseCoin.io.
We've got a graphic.
Let's throw that up for a second if we could.
There we go, commonsensecoin.io.
This is a project that you've been working on for some time, a super secret project that you've been working on both financially and legally that you really believe can change the political marketplace and the struggle for ideas.
So, tell us about commonsensecoin.io.
Well, Roger, first of all, I really appreciate any guidance and pointing me in the right direction on stuff on the commonsensecoin.io.
And to be honest with you, when I saw the president speak at CPAC the other day, I felt, I was going to text you because I felt like he was saying some of the stuff that I've said on your show.
Um, and I was glad the president was brave enough to say, you know, Republicans tend to kind of sit back in the armchair and scream and yell about, well, wait a minute, they can't be doing these mail-in ballots.
And hey, wait a minute over there, they're doing these absentee collections.
And, um, you know, Republicans sit there and scream and yell about it.
And one of the things our team has come together on on the common sense coin is we have to beat them at every turn.
So we have to raise enough money so that we can offset the $400 million from Mark Zuckerberg going into those key bellwether cities.
We need to raise enough money so that we have teams and we've made it a systematic program where we go out and get Republican voters to the polls early.
And we need to raise enough money so that we can go out to people's homes and do just like they do, knock on the door, get those absentee ballots, bring them down to the Board of Elections.
And the main thing that we need to do is we need to close the fundraising gap.
We can't let the Democrats raise more money than us and then have more early ballots and absentee ballots in the box before Election Day ever comes around because We're basically giving them a head start in every race and what Common Sense Coin aims to do, it's a utility token that people can purchase and there's going to be all kinds of rewards, places you can spend it.
Hopefully you can go to the Stone Zone and buy a book or a stone or an autographed photo and you can pay with your Common Sense Coins.
And the beauty of it is this, every time someone uses a Common Sense Coin, There's a little fee for buying it and selling it.
That's called a coin tax.
And that the revenue from the coin taxes is going to be contributed to super PACs of the Common Sense Coins management team.
So it's like any other corporation, you know, you got AT&T, Disney, all these companies, all these, you know, woke a hollow companies, and they take their profits.
And what they do is they invest in these political activist causes, they invest in woke They invest in organizations like BLM buys large mansions.
And, um, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking to people who are common sense Americans.
And whether you like a law and order Democrat to be the next DA against the Soros, uh, DA, or you love a great Republican who wants to go with America first policies.
Every time you use your common sense coins.
A portion of the fees associated with that will go to causes and super PACs that support common sense candidates that have American ideals first.
So it's just like charitable giving, you know, some corporations give to breast cancer awareness or veterans organizations, and we'll do all that stuff too.
But one of the things we're going to be doing is making sure that a big hunk of the revenue that comes in from running this organization Well, this is really an ingenious idea.
So if I go to Disneyland and I buy my tickets, or Disney World, and Disney makes a profit off of me, then Disney turns around and gives that money to liberal candidates and liberal causes, all of which is of course Do I have this right?
disclose disney's contributions so in other words if people make a common sense coin profitable through the small fees that they pay the company is going to turn around and give that to causes and candidates in this case super PACs that are consistent with the beliefs of their customers do i have this right you have it right roger and you know look um i'm right out in the front of this thing
we got some great genius really wealthy folks behind it who realized that we got to close this gap but i'm kind of the mouthpiece so i'm out in front of it and i want to be clear um we're only going to take a portion of our profits and put it into super PACs and the folks that believe in what we're doing um they know a portion of their uh fees that they pay are going to go to super PACs they That we choose.
And I know that once the left gets a hold of this, they're going to be coming after me.
They're going to be coming after the company, the coin, and every other thing.
So we have our eyes dotted.
We have our keys crossed.
We have Brownstein, a great law firm, who gave us a great opinion, at least a great memo, on we're well within the bounds of the Federal Machine Commission.
And they may not like it because we're going to change the paradigm in campaign finance contributions by using leading edge technology.
And as far as I'm concerned, I don't care if they don't like it.
I'm going to stand up to them because I know we're going straight down the middle of the fairway.
We're doing what is right and just, and we're trying to put this country back on track.
And the one thing that could do that, Roger, is money.
You know that as good as anyone.
Let's throw that graphic back up one more time so folks can get a chance to write it down.
There it is, folks.
