Trump’s Divine Presidency: Pastor Randy Coggins II on Faith, Family, Freedom | The StoneZONE
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
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 bestselling 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 yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
Back when I was charged by Robert Mueller in a politically motivated witch hunt and subjected to a Soviet-style show trial, It became apparent to me that I would not get a fair trial in the District of Columbia.
The judge not only withheld exculpatory evidence from me, my lawyers specifically asked for the entire unredacted Mueller report, but Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that she would review the report in her chambers and then give the relevant sections of the report to my attorneys.
Unfortunately, she failed to include the section of the report that only became public after BuzzFeed sued the Justice Department for the release of the entire document.
Even then, we learned that even Robert Mueller could not sugarcoat the fact that he had found no evidence of Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime.
But the two-year crucible Of fighting the unlimited resources of the federal government, combined with the relentless attacks on me by their fake news media allies, took its toll.
A time came when not only the pressure on my wife and me debilitated us financially, we lost our home, our insurance, our savings, my car, even my electric guitar as to sell it all.
To pay for my legal defense, time came when I hit rock bottom.
It became clear to me that I was to be gagged unconstitutionally so that I could not defend myself and to be lynched.
The judge might as well have been yet another member of the prosecution.
Every single one of her pretrial motions was patently unconstitutional, but she essentially denied me any Even though there was more than enough evidence and potential witnesses to prove that there was no online break-in at the Democratic National Committee servers,
there was no online hack, but the judge refused to allow us to introduce forensic evidence and expert testimony from Bill Binney, the foremost IT counterterrorism expert within the CIA. I survived this horrific experience and have had several multiple miracles in my life only because I returned to the church.
Today I am redeemed in the blood of the cross.
I have been very forthright about my return to the church, but that only makes those on the left attack you.
The Washington Monthly, for example, questioned whether my...
Return to God and the confession of my sins was real.
To tell you the truth, I don't care what they think.
I only care what he thinks.
But the man who was responsible for bringing me back to the Lord is a young pastor who then lived in North Florida.
I had met Randy Coggins at a book signing several years earlier, and we became reacquainted talking regularly.
But he pounded on me to turn my burden over to the Lord.
I listened, but being a hard-nosed political operative, it took a while for me to understand what I needed to do.
Ultimately, it was Randy Coggins who arranged a meeting for me with Franklin Graham.
Franklin Graham was in Boca Raton, Florida, and he was having a revival.
It was Randy Coggins who arranged a short meeting with Franklin Graham, who gave me probably the best advice of my entire life.
Now, because I'm political, I viewed the meeting as an opportunity to ask Reverend Graham to talk to President Trump about clemency in my case, because it became clear there were no circumstances whatsoever that I would receive a fair trial.
It was then...
That I poured my heart out to Reverend Graham, who said, well, and I asked him specifically if he would talk to the president on my behalf, and he said, well, I'll look into that, but let me give you a much better piece of advice.
You should turn your life over to the Lord.
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life, confess your sins, and pledge to sin no more.
It has to be sincere, but if you will do that, I've known other men in your position.
I guarantee you the Lord will lift you up.
The Lord will save you and protect you from your persecutors.
And then we went out into this open field where there was, I would say, 2,000 Christians, mostly on lawn chairs, blankets, in this outdoor amphitheater in Boca Raton.
And the time came in Franklin Graham's oration.
I had watched Billy Graham preach as a very young boy, and while Franklin Graham is not his father, he's a very, very effective apostle for the Lord.
He has his own style.
And the time came in his oration where he said, I don't care if your problem is drug addiction or alcoholism or gambling addiction or health problems or family problems.
There is no problem that cannot be solved by the Lord because Jesus Christ, he said, can do anything.
So those who want to live forever in heaven with our Heavenly Father should stand now, confess their sins, and pledge to sin no more.
It was at that moment, without hesitation, without embarrassment, without doubt, that I stood up with 200 to 300 other Christians and I confessed my sins.
It was that moment that everything in my life changed.
Everything.
I owe that moment to Randy Coggins, who was relentless in pursuing me to return to the church.
I'm very proud to say that my friend Randy Coggins joins me now.
Roger, thank you so much for having me.
And first of all, it's an absolute honor to be here on the Stone Zone.
And you and I have walked a, I would say, a powerful road together.
And I counted a privilege to call you a friend, a brother in Christ.
And your journey back to faith, it was nothing short, as you said, of a divine intervention.
And I remember those conversations, the prayers, the moments where seeing you in your living room, being on the road with you on several occasions, being at the courthouse with you.
In Washington, D.C. and the weight of everything you had been through up to that point and seeing that lift off of you because you allowed Jesus back into the center of your life and watching you rediscover God's grace was truly inspiring, not just for me, but you have spread this message and spread this story, literally.
Or across the country and around the world.
And it is a testimony, truly, that I've heard you say that no matter where you have been, God's hand is always reaching for us.
And Roger, the way you've used your platform since then to stand boldly, not just for the truth on a political stance, but for the truth and for Christ, it's truly been incredible.
So I'm happy to be here.
Randy, you come from a long line of pastors.
I want to talk about you a little bit today rather than me, but it'll be a mixture.
Tell us about your family, your dad, your grandfather, and how there's a great tradition of preaching the Lord's gospel in your family.
Yeah, going back to my great-great-grandparents and my great-grandparents and my parents, pastors, leaders, ministers of the gospel.
Pioneer churches throughout the Southeast of the United States of America.
My father has traveled literally the world preaching the gospel.
And I grew up in a pastor's home.
And it was at the age of 13 years old where I felt the call to preach.
And I preached my first message on a Sunday night in Northeast Georgia at my father's church at the time.
And it was at that moment where I knew.
I wanted to do this the rest of my life, and God had called me to preach His gospel to those that would listen.
And so now, fast forward, 30 years old, my wife and I, we've been married now for a little over 10 years together, 12 years.
We have four beautiful children, and our ministry here on the campus, Pastor of Seven Springs Church in Lithia Springs, Georgia.
And God is doing some incredible things.
We have a very diverse church.
We're growing.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people call our church home every single Sunday morning.
And just excited about what God is doing in this season, not just in the church, but outside of the four walls of the church and within the United States of America and literally around the world.
Randy Coggins is an extraordinarily dynamic preacher in his own right.
We're going to show you a video of him preaching right now.
God, I don't have the strength to get up.
God, I feel like I can't make it anymore.
I'm just barely surviving.
I'm just barely crying.
I'm just barely holding on.
And God says, I'm trying to get up, God.
But I don't have the strength.
I'm pulling on everything I know what to pull on.
And God says, don't worry.
Because I'll be your dad.
And I'll pick you up when you can't pick yourself up.
And I'll let both feet get on the ground.
And I'll hold your hand.
Every step of the way, I'll provide provision.
Every step of the way, I'll provide healing.
Every step, I don't have enough strength by myself.
But He has me.
And when I fall, He's picking me up.
And He's walking with me.
But then one day, when my strength is back, I can say, thank you, Jesus.
And I can keep walking.
And He'll keep walking with me.
And talking with me.
And saying, you can do this, Randy.
You can make it, Randy.
You will survive.
Amazing stuff.
I'm so impressed with you as an orator, someone who speaks publicly.
You have a unique connection with your audience, and I have predicted openly that someday you will be as big as the great Billy Graham, perhaps one of the greatest men of the 20th century.
I think you and I agree that we've seen the hand of God very recently in this nation.
As you pointed out to me in the Bible, in every great battle, the forces of the Lord are always overwhelmingly outnumbered, but they're also always victorious.
And in that, there is a lesson.
There were dark days in Donald Trump's attempt to return to the White House, particularly when he was subjected to this horrific lawfare by...
New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
Now, it's interesting because we learned yesterday, or Sunday I guess it was, that Letitia James inflated the value of her assets in order to qualify for mortgages to buy a bunch of commercial properties.
That is precisely, of course, what she accused Donald Trump falsely of doing.
This is a perfect example to me of God's justice.
One of the hardest things about being a good Christian, particularly if you're half Sicilian as I am, is realizing that vengeance is reserved for the Lord.
That the Lord doesn't tell you to forget, but he does tell you to forgive.
It's hard.
It's very hard.
Those who tried to destroy my family, those corrupt prosecutors, several of whom have now been fired by Donald Trump.
These people were ruthless.
They had no interest in the truth.
Going to trial, you were there with me every day.
We prayed together every day.
I learned the hard way that the Constitution, the rule of law, the facts, the evidence, the truth.
None of these things matter when you are targeted by the deep state, when you have a judge who was so epically biased as Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
I believe, ironically, or I should say emphatically, that it wasn't just being spared dying in a dank Georgia federal prison.
Where, unbelievably, they wanted to give me seven to nine years for allegedly lying to Congress under oath in my voluntary testimony about Russian collusion that never really happened.
But in a short period of time, my wife, as you know, who loves you and your family, has survived stage four cancer.
The doctors initially told her that she should get her affairs in order, that her situation was hopeless.
But we learned yet again that all things are possible through Jesus Christ.
And we did a deep, deep dive on cancer.
Our friends over at The Truth About Cancer helped us enormously.
Ty and Charlene Bollinger.
She ultimately selected a treatment combination of some Western medicine, but a lot of natural healing, changes in her diet, certain exotic mushrooms, extensive injections,
or I should say intravenous vitamin C, vitamin D, B17. And today I'm happy to tell you Through the healing power of Jesus Christ, she is now almost four years cancer-free.
It is nothing short of a miracle.
On January 6th, January 5th, I spoke in Washington, D.C. at a legally permitted rally.
You were there, and I have no qualms about what I said in my speech.
I didn't call for violence or insurrection.
I did exercise my First Amendment right to question the outcome of the election.
When more people vote in Philadelphia than are registered to vote, it's a pretty good sign that something's wrong.
It is absolutely true that after January 6th, I wrote to the president and I suggested that he pardon preemptively Everyone who had said that the election wasn't honest, every Republican member of the House,
the Senate, members of his staff, his most prominent supporters, including me, because I foresaw that they would criminalize what is perfectly legally free speech activity, that they would charge people for questioning the election.
Now, the left says, Roger Stone was trying to get a second pardon for himself for things he did on January 6th.
That is, of course, a lie.
The letter is been leaked.
It's out there.
But I turned out to be right, as you know.
They attempted to prosecute Donald Trump in connection with January 6th in Washington, D.C. They prosecuted him in Georgia, a case that fell apart.
They're prosecuting him still.
Trying to in Arizona.
They're prosecuting his supporters in Nevada.
All based on this false premise that, one, you have no right to question the outcome of an American election, which of course you do.
And second of all, that alternative electors are somehow illegal.
In 1960, when it was thought...
Election night that Vice President Richard Nixon had carried Hawaii, John Kennedy filed a slate of alternative electors because he believed correctly that once all the absentee ballots were counted that he would carry Hawaii.
He did.
The electors pledged to Nixon were unseated and those pledged to Kennedy were seated.
Nobody charged John Kennedy with any illegality.
So the whole notion of a fake elector, that's something made up by Ari Melber and Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissman and the other criminals who were behind the lawfare against President Trump.
And then the day after the 22 election, I was visiting Mike Lindell.
I was on my way to his studio in Memphis for an interview, and the car I was riding in was broadsided by a man coming through the intersection at 55 miles an hour.
The car was T-boned.
The car was totaled.
The two security guards I was riding with were badly injured, but I walked away from that crash without a scratch, and I immediately fell to my knees.
And I praised the Lord because I think Jesus Christ protected me again in that moment.
So I've experienced these miracles in my own life, and I only list them because I think it's important for other people who have problems, any kind of problem, to understand that Jesus Christ is capable of anything.
A very good friend of mine who lives in Nevada, Recently learned that his mother had cancer.
And like my wife, they told his mother that she needed to get her affairs in order, that there was little chance she could survive.
I put her in touch with my wife, who shared her cancer regimen with my friend's mother.
And we learned yesterday that based on a new examination and new tests, that her cancer is gone.
Prayer was an important part of that formula, but it's proof yet again that Jesus Christ can do anything.
Randy?
Yes, and very true.
It says, now unto him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think according to the power that worketh within us.
And as believers, I truly believe.
That the same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is the same power that lives on the inside of us.
So I go by saying, if you have the faith enough to believe it, God has the power enough to do it.
And Roger, you've seen that in your life.
Now we've seen that in our nation.
And it's all about not giving up and pursuing everything that God has for us during this time.
And that's why the role.
Of the evangelical Christians, and I say evangelical, evangelical is not a political word.
It is a biblical word.
Evangelical Christians is more critical than ever.
President Trump's return to the White House is not just about politics.
It's about purpose.
It's about restoring righteousness, not by a man, but...
Righteousness by God through a man and through a team of people in a nation that has been drifting further and further from biblical values.
And we are in a spiritual battle.
We saw that in your trial.
We saw it through the judge.
We saw it through news pundits.
We saw it through multiple streams and avenues.
We are in a spiritual battle.
Christians, believers, the church, cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
The cure, as I have said this many times in our church, the cure for a divided world is a united church.
And every pastor, every believer, every person who calls Jesus their Lord must be engaged, not just praying, but voting and standing for truth, because what happens in these next four years will determine the direction of this country and the world.
For generations to come.
And we're seeing that play out just now two to three weeks after the inauguration.
So it's an exciting time to be alive.
Let's roll another video of Randy Coggins preaching God's Word.
God's will is His Word.
So that means God's truth is what?
His Word.
So if it's not in His Word, that means it's not His what?
Will.
Don't shout me down when I'm preaching good today.
If it's not in His Word, that means it is not His what?
Will.
So I want to challenge you today.
Many of us have already voted and everything, but I want to challenge you in this season that we're living in, have a mindset of prayer to live your life in a way that reflects God's Word.
Have your life be an example of what being a Christian actually means.
Because listen, this world, this world seeks to divide a church that looks like ours.
Are you hearing me?
And I want you to hear my heart.
This world seeks to divide a church that looks like ours.
The enemy cannot stand when unity begins to happen in the house.
Why?
Because the enemy cannot habitate where unity resides.
Randy, I know there's a lot of pastors who think that the church should stay out of politics.
And we know that Lyndon Johnson, one of the most corrupt and evil men to ever serve in public office, passed something called the Johnson Rule, which is really designed to stop preachers in the pulpit in Texas while he was running from the Senate.
From calling out his epic corruption and his slothful lifestyle.
Lyndon Johnson was a sadist.
He was an alcoholic.
He was a pill popper.
He was a notorious womanizer.
He was epically corrupt.
No defense appropriation in the 1950s.
No major federal expenditure went through the Senate without a payoff to Lyndon Baines Johnson.
And many Many pastors fear that if they speak out, they will be stripped of their tax exemption.
But it was my friend Robin Bullock, the Christian prophet, who told me prior to the election, told me a number of interesting things we'll talk about in a minute, but told me that if pastors did not get behind the word, if pastors did not educate their flock, Well, that Donald Trump would lose.
Now, statistically, I can tell you that in 2017, roughly 73% of evangelical Christians voted, and they voted overwhelmingly, pardon me, 78%, and they voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
In 2020, perhaps partially because of the pandemic, but for other reasons, that dropped to only 63%.
And then in our most recent election, we bounced back to where almost 80% of evangelical Christians voted.
And of course, they voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
What do you say to those pastors who, quote unquote, don't want to get into politics?
You speak truth.
You speak truth.
The Bible has called us to preach the truth.
And what I try to practice and what I try to do is it's not about taking sides.
It's about standing for truth.
And whatever side is standing for truth is the side you need to stand with.
And so when you talk about the sanctity of life, when you talk about so many different areas in the Word of God, if it doesn't align with the Word of God, you should not support it.
And that is just what we call a biblical conviction.
And that is what we try to preach.
Our church is a very diverse church with a lot of opinions and a lot of people, a lot of different colors and all of that.
And I practice, we practice just preach the truth and obey what God tells us to obey.
Do what God tells us to do and do our best to live that way.
And you don't have to make it complicated.
You don't have to read off laws.
You don't have to do all of these things.
You don't even have to call names.
All you do is preach the truth.
It says the truth shall set you free.
And that's my advice to pastors and leaders is preach the truth and then let the truth work itself out.
As I mentioned earlier, the Christian prophet Robin Bullock He contacted me roughly four months before the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And he told me that he was concerned because there would be an attempt on the president's life.
And I asked him how he knew this.
And he said, well, it is foretold in the book of Samuel.
Samuel 1 and also 2, the time of two kings.
He said, Saul.
David, whose kingdom had been stripped from him by the Lord because he disobeyed God, was the illegitimate king.
He said, that's Joe Biden.
And David, the good king, that was Donald Trump.
Now, Saul tried to kill David three times.
He tried to kill him with a javelin, which grazed Christ's ear.
And there, he says, is the prophecy.
of what will be.
He said that in the end, just as Saul failed to kill David, which would have changed the entire course of history, certainly the course of the church, that these attempts would fail.
But Robin wondered, how do we let the president know that this is going to happen?
He said, should I contact the Secret Service?
I said, no, I don't recommend that.
I said, first of all, unfortunately, they'll think you're crazy.
And secondarily, they'll start investigating you instead of investigating what may happen.
I did not then, for good reason, I think, trust the Secret Service.
By the way, they worked for Joe Biden at that time.
And we all saw what transpired in Butler, Pennsylvania.
But for an 18th of an inch, Donald Trump would not be with us.
We would not be on the cusp of what we call the golden age, the age of Trump, which will be an age of unprecedented peace, prosperity, justice, security, and law and order.
I honestly believe America's greatest days, as Ronald Reagan always said, are ahead of us.
But there's just little doubt in my mind.
That Donald Trump being saved in Butler, Pennsylvania by an eighteenth of an inch is an act of God.
That was an act of God.
But more importantly, Donald Trump understands it as well.
For all the many years that I have known him and been active in his political endeavors, pastors have always complained to me that he didn't talk enough about his faith.
Now, he was a regular at Norman Vincent Peale's Marble Collegiate Church in New York City.
He is a man of faith.
It's kind of like Kim Clement predicted.
He said he will not be a religious man, but he will be a man who prays.
I think that is a perfect description.
But in him, as I talk to him now and since Butler, I sense a different serenity.
In other words, he's the same confident, hard-charging, highly high-energy, extraordinary stamina person he has always been.
He's an optimist, much like Ronald Reagan.
But I also sense a new calmness about him.
It's very clear to me.
That he knows that he was anointed for this job and for this time, and that his life was spared for this moment.
He said it in his convention acceptance speech.
He said it more eloquently, even more eloquently in his inaugural speech.
And I think that today, even though I continue to pray every day for his protection, Perhaps because having gone through the crucible that I went through, I understand the epic evil of the people who oppose him.
I pray every day for his safety.
Randy, your thoughts?
I will never forget the moment of that day in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I was sitting on my couch here in Atlanta, Georgia, watching that particular rally, that particular speech.
There is no doubt in my mind that God's hand was in that moment.
What we witnessed in Butler, Pennsylvania with the assassination attempt on President Trump was a moment that shook this country because what I saw was people from both sides, now their attention has been turned and shifted.
And it made something very clear that God was not done with him and God was not done with America.
And what happened that day, it should have ended in tragedy, but instead we saw a divine miracle at the bullet that could have changed history by taking President Trump's lives.
It was stopped just inches away.
And if that is not evidence of divine protection, I don't know what is.
Because the enemy has always been and is still trying to silence the voice of truth.
And whoever's voice that truth comes from, that's up to God.
But God has a plan, says this in the scripture, that no weapon formed against it, the voice of truth, no weapon formed against it shall be able to prosper.
And we saw in real time that weapon that was formed against the then Running for President Trump.
And now President Trump.
It wasn't able to form.
It wasn't able to prosper.
And so that was a divine intervention moment.
And I believe there have been even more.
I mean, what happened to Mar-a-Lago on the golf course?
That was a divine intervention.
And what things that have happened that we don't even know about and would never be talked about.
God's hand of protection has been on that man.
Has been on now our current president.
And has been on our nation, and I believe it is for such a time as this.
And we cannot argue with that.
There has now been established a White House Office of Faith.
I think this is a great thing.
And Pastor Paula White Cain is going to head that unit.
She's a woman who prayed for me during my tribulation, during my trial.
She's a woman I like very much and admire very much, respect very much.
I think she's an excellent choice for this role.
Your family goes way back with her.
Your reflection on this great appointment?
When you speak of strong spiritual voices, you can't speak of strong spiritual voices and not talk about our friend Pastor Paula White Kane.
I've known Pastor Paula since I was 16 years old.
And Roger, you and I both know, when Pastor Paula sets out to do something, there's no getting around that.
She is a strong force of faith.
And even seeing now some of the comments that are coming out about her and against her, it's not going to faze her.
She's going to stand strong as a force of faith, and she has been.
She's stood the test of time.
She's been a powerful force for the kingdom.
Not a perfect person.
But an open person and a willing person that says, God, use me and I'll do what you want me to do.
And her appointment to lead the White House of Faith office is, I believe, one of the most strategic decisions that President Trump has made.
I don't believe, at least in my lifetime, we've seen anything like this or an office like this.
And she has been.
For so many years, not just for President Trump personally, but for the kingdom of God as a whole for decades.
She's been unwavering.
She has been unwavering in her commitment to seeing a nation that honors God.
And she understands the power of prayer herself.
She'll tell you she was a broke Mississippi girl living in a trailer, and God took her from where she was, sent her around the world.
To countless thousands and millions and millions of people touched by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And she understands that that was all because of the power of prayer.
And now the power of prayer in government and the need for biblical truth to be at the center of our leadership.
And I am excited to see that.
In this season, and I think about my children, I think about my grandchildren that will come later on in the future.
And I want them to have a nation, and I want them to have a world that has been saturated in prayer and biblical leadership as much as possible.
And so I truly believe that under her guidance with the office, with this White House of Faith office, I truly believe we're going to see God move in ways that we haven't seen before.
And it is my hope, and it is my prayer.
That not just one group of people, but we will see a unifying of kingdom leaders and believers to see really systemic changes in our world and in our society.
And it all starts from biblical principles and the power of prayer.
So I believe we're going to see God move in ways that we haven't seen before, and I'm truly excited to see that.
Well, the president has had no more loyal friend and supporter than Pastor Paula White Kane.
I used to think politicians were rough and competitive, but they have nothing on pastors.
But I'm a strong supporter of hers.
I'm glad to see her in this job.
Also, Jackson Lane, a young man who worked on evangelical outreach during the campaign.
An extraordinarily capable young man, now named to the White House staff to work with faith leaders.
Yet another great appointment by President Donald Trump.
We're going to show one more video of Randy Coggins because it's just so good.
I can't not show it.
Let's roll it.
God's will is his word.
So that means God's truth is what?
His word.
So if it's not in his word, that means it's not his what?
Will.
Don't shout me down when I'm preaching good today.
If it's not in His Word, that means it is not His what?
Will.
So I want to challenge you today.
Many of us have already voted and everything, but I want to challenge you in this season that we're living in, have a mindset of prayer to live your life in a way that reflects God's Word.
Have your life be an example of what being a Christian actually means.
Because listen, this world, this world seeks to divide a church that looks like ours.
Are you hearing me?
And I want you to hear my heart.
This world seeks to divide a church that looks like ours.
The enemy cannot stand when unity begins to happen in the house.
Why?
Why?
Because the enemy cannot habitate where unity resides.
You know, Randy, as a great fan of both the Reverend Ike and James Brown, I think the only thing you lack there is a cape.
And my friend, your cape has been ordered and it is coming.
Well, if you bought it, I'll wear it.
So you and your wife seem to have a child every nine months.
I'll congratulate you on that.
Your family's going.
Tell us about them just for a minute.
Yeah, we have four beautiful children from the age of nine, six years old, almost three years old, and now one.
And so I'm truly thankful.
One son, three girls, three daughters.
And so truly thankful for what he's done in my family.
My wife, she is a Puerto Rican born and raised in Miami.
And again, as I said earlier, we'll be married 11 years this November together, 13 years this September.
And she has been by my side every step of the way concerning ministry and just concerning life.
And so I'm truly grateful for my wife.
And for my family.
And, you know, it's just simply even what I do.
If it wasn't for a praying spouse, I wouldn't be able to do what I do.
Prayer is just so powerful.
And we pray.
I pray over my wife.
I pray over my children.
I pray over our nation.
And also, I just want to say this on another note.
If there's one thing that we cannot stop doing, it is praying.
And we have to pray, not only for our families, but also for our leaders.
And whether we agree at times or whether we don't agree at times, we have to pray for our current president, President Trump's protection, for wisdom and his leadership, and for God's favor over our nation and around the world.
And not just for him, but we need to be lifting up all of our leaders, all the way from the local place to the White House to around the world, those in the White House, the Congress, every position of influence.
And that's why when I say position of influence, that's why you're a family.
Fathers have a position of influence.
Mothers have a position of influence.
Teachers have a position of influence.
And there's a battle going on in the spirit realm.
And prayer is our most powerful weapon.
And we need people.
We need intercessors, prayer warriors, standing in the gap daily, declaring that no attack of the enemy will prevail against our families, will prevail against our communities, will prevail against our states and our nation.
It will not prevail against those that God has positioned for such a time as this.
And so I'm grateful for my family because I believe he is that God has positioned us as a family for such a time as this to speak truth in a season where a lot of people are not bold enough to speak truth.
And we're doing that in love and we're doing it the best to our ability.
All right.
Randy Coggins, the man who brought me back to Jesus Christ, played a crucial role in my redemption.
I love you deeply, you and your family.
Mrs. Stone sends her regards.
You're right.
We haven't been together in a long time.
It's time for a reunion.
God bless you, my friend.
It's great to see you.
God bless you.
Thank you for having me on, brother.
All right, now I'm going to bring in my co-host, Mark Vargas, the editor and publisher of the Illinois Review.
We've got a few political matters we want to hit before the end of the show.
Mark Vargas, welcome back into the Stone Zone.
Roger, it's great to be with you, and it's been a big breaking news day.
As you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and only Mitch McConnell.
Roger.
Only Mitch McConnell, the lone Republican, or so-called Republican, to vote against his nomination.
I want to get your thoughts, but we're going to play this quick clip of Robert Kennedy.
Donald Trump has said that he would put you in charge of the public health agencies.
What exactly does that look like?
Well, he's been very specific in what he said.
He wants me to do three things.
One, clean up the corruption of the agencies.
Particularly the conflicts of interest that have turned those agencies into captive agencies for the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry, the other industries that they're supposed to be regulating.
Number two, to return those agencies to the gold standard science, the empirically-based, evidence-based medicine that they were famous for when I was a kid.
And number three, to make America healthy again, to end the chronic disease epidemic.
And President Trump has told me that he wants to see measurable concrete results within two years in terms of a measurable diminishment in chronic disease among America's kids.
This is true.
Great news for America.
See, I think that the confirmation of RFK means a lot more than just the fact that we're going to have a vigorous effort to make America healthy again.
We're going to have a vigorous effort to examine the food that is being given to our families and why there are certain additives in foods in the United States that are not allowed in Europe.
Get to the root of why we have a chronic childhood disease epidemic in this country.
Get to the root of why we have an obesity epidemic in this country.
But I also think it speaks to the larger question of a new political realignment.
Republican and Democrat, these are becoming outmoded and outdated terms, as we've learned the hard way.
The real division in America It's between the globalists who believe in war.
They believe in censorship.
And they have no intention of keeping big pharma or big food accountable for the decline in America's health, which is undeniable based on all measures and statistics.
And then on the other side, you have people of common sense, people who favor peace, people who favor free speech.
People who want to examine the drugs and the food being given to our families and the process by which these things are legalized and pushed.
And of course, particularly to clean up the corruption.
The idea that Dr. Fauci and his wife were able to make millions and millions of dollars off of the COVID-19 vaccinations that they were pushing.
I think we need a reform in the law so that's no longer possible.
Public health officials should not have an interest in the positions they take or in the drugs or vaccinations that they advocate.
So I think this is a very important step towards building this new coalition where you have common sense Democrats.
Like Robert Kennedy, like Tulsi Gabbard, who was a Democrat, then became an independent.
Now I'm happy to say a Republican.
And of course, Governor Rob Blagojevich, another example of a common sense Democrat who loves his country.
Sadly, the Democrat Party of old, the Democrat Party of John F. Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy was an ardent anti-communist.
Jack Kennedy believed in an across-the-board tax cut, and he enacted one over the objections of the banks.
He was a believer in a silver-backed dollar.
He had deep suspicions even then, prior to his murder, about our intelligence agencies and whether the CIA was operating domestically, which is, of course, completely illegal under their charter.
So this realignment, I think, is one of the keys to the golden age we're about to enter, where party means less and less, and this division between those who just have common sense and those who are prepared to give up our freedoms.
All right, Mark, what else do you have for us?
Roger, Kash Patel earlier today was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee 12 to 10 with the Confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard and Robert Kennedy Jr., the fact that Cash has been voted out of the Judiciary Committee, is setting it up for another Senate showdown.
It appears that he has the votes as well.
Boy, talk about the intelligence community being flipped upside down, having Gabbard as the DNI and Patel as the FBI director.
The establishment, guys like Adam Schiff.
And Eric Swalwell, they've got to be shaking in their boots, Roger, now that we're getting closer to putting President Trump's team together.
This is, in fact, the Justice League.
I mean, Donald Trump has put together an all-star team from Marco Rubio, who's already demonstrating skills as a diplomat, bringing our hostages home.
Rick Grinnell, who's done an extraordinary job.
This decision to examine the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which has really turned into a perk for members of Congress, but also constantly churning out the same woke propaganda, not cultural, historical American entertainment, but this cutting-edge craziness that's woke-based.
Where did the money, where did the millions they've been given go?
I suggest renaming it the Joseph R. McCarthy Center for the Performing Arts, and I'm glad to see that President Trump and Rick Grinnell are at least temporarily going to take control and try to save that institution.
Let's see.
You're right about Kash Patel.
I do need to comment on that.
The idea that Adam Schiff...
We call Kash Patel a conspiracy theorist.
That's a sidesplitter.
I mean, that's a knee slapper.
Here's the guy who claimed that he had seen, quote, more than circumstantial evidence of Russian collusion with Donald Trump's campaign.
But never produced any of it.
And now, when he's pressed, he says, oh no, we had proof that a high-level Trump campaign official gave polling information to a Russian intelligence asset.
This is a bald-faced lie.
First of all, as Paul Manafort, the man he's talking about, says in his book, and as confirmed by Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio, The Trump campaign had no proprietary polling information at the time this allegedly took place.
So any information that Paul Manafort gave to a man named Konstantin Kalimnik would have been public information you could find on the Internet.
Secondarily, Kalimnik is not a Russian intelligence asset.
In fact, as the independent journalist Mac Taibbi has...
Indisputably proven, he was a US intelligence asset.
He was reporting directly to the American embassy in Kyiv, and his name is redacted in the cables they sent back to the State Department to hide his identity because he was an asset for US intelligence.
By the way, prior to his involvement in this, He worked for Senator John McCain at the Republican Foreign Institute.
John McCain, not exactly a Russian spy.
So this is an absurdity.
They have nothing else to hang their hat on.
But Adam Schiff calling anyone else a conspiracy theorist, it really is laughable.
I guess Schiff now has a preemptive pardon.
And therefore, he can't be prosecuted for as many crimes.
But what I suggest is that the House Oversight Committee hold field hearings and send a subpoena to Adam Schiff.
He can say he's a U.S. senator, but no person is against the law.
Remember how many times you said that, Adam?
He, by the way, because he has a pardon, he cannot plead the Fifth Amendment in those proceedings.
He also can't refuse a congressional subpoena.
We saw what happened when Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro did that.
And then, of course, I would say if he lies under oath, but what I mean is when he lies under oath, he can be charged with perjury, but charged not in Washington, D.C., where...
No court will find against any Democrat, but charged in the jurisdiction in which he lies.
Adam Schiff must be brought to justice.
He's one of the most epic criminals of our time.
He had a giant role in my case in which the Mueller prosecutors illegally shared all of my emails with Adam Schiff so he could invent.
Gotcha questions that were still immaterial, which my answers, if they were incorrect, still didn't violate the false statements law because they were immaterial.
In other words, they did not willfully hide any underlying legal activity.
Adam Schiff, my view remains the same.
If it's Schiff, flush it.
All right, we probably have time for one more political item.
Mark, what are you thinking?
Roger, a Governor Kamala Harris, a poll, let's throw this up there real quick.
A poll has Kamala Harris leading a California, prospective California governor's race by a country mile, 57 to 9. It almost looks like a Trump DeSantis type poll.
But Roger, after a horrific campaign, she now thinks she can pivot and become governor of California.
I think it's outrageous.
Well, there's an excellent piece on this in the Wall Street Journal by my good friend Ken Kochigian, who was both a speechwriter and a strategic advisor to Presidents Nixon and Trump.
And he points out that in 1962, after his razor-thin loss to John Kennedy, party leaders such as Dwight Eisenhower and Former Governor Tom Dewey, the Republican candidate for president in 1944 and 48, and others persuaded Nixon to run for governor of California to keep his presidential prospects alive.
The problem was that Nixon had no interest in being governor of California, and he had no particular knowledge of state issues.
His expertise was in federal issues, mostly international affairs.
He was still favored to win, but then in the closing days of that campaign, we had the Cuban Missile Crisis, The American people rallied around President John Kennedy.
Kennedy made a late trip to California to campaign for the incumbent Pat Brown and Nixon lost.
I think that Kamala Harris may want to take a little advice from former President Nixon.
The other thing that's misleading about that poll is everybody in it was a Democrat.
California has this unique system.
What they call the jungle primary, in which all candidates of all parties run in one election.
There are no primaries, but they run in one election.
And then the two top vote getters face off in a runoff.
So that poll, while it may show that she has overwhelming support among Democrats, does not show that she necessarily would have overwhelming support among all voters.
There's at least one candidate, Steve Hilton, at Fox.
I believe he will be a candidate, a Republican candidate.
My good friend Grant Cardone, I think, is seriously thinking about becoming a candidate.
There will probably be other Republican candidates.
Given President Trump's very strong showing in California, I think it is not, and the impact of the fires and the total mismanagement of them by Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, it's not beyond the realm that California could turn red.
So that is an excellent item for you to bring up, Mark.
We'll be watching it very closely.
