Starting point is 00:00:10 Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to listen to a man of grace, sophistication, integrity, and whimsy? Well, so are we. But until such a man shows up, please welcome Eric Matt, Texas. Folks, welcome back. I believe we're an hour or two right now. And I'm talking to Roger Stone. So, Roger, what do we make? I mean, the madness of what we're living through.
Starting point is 00:00:39 They try to murder Donald Trump. Five minutes after that, Joe Biden is insisting that unless God comes down from heaven and tells him directly to not run, he's going to run. Well, then suddenly, turns out he's not going to run. But it wasn't God. It was probably Obama or someone who threatened him and said, listen, old man, if you do not do the right thing. and get out, we're going to force you out. We're going to humiliate you. So you can go the nice way. You can be humiliated with the 25th Amendment. Kamala Harris will sign the papers. Whoever else will sign the papers. We know you can't win and we can't accept you being the nominee. So he was forced out.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Then we have naive jugheads like, oh, I don't know, Vice President Pence congratulating Joe Biden for doing the gentlemanly thing, the noble thing for his even though he was forced out. The whole thing is just madness. What do you make of any of it? Well, I think you're right on the money, Eric. Joe Biden did not want to go. He's an incredibly stubborn person. He's also an egomaniac who actually believes he's doing a great job. Or he thinks he's up there in history with FDR and LBJ and Bill Clinton, he says, as among our greatest presidents. He's always been somewhat delusional. He did not. want to quit this race. He made the mistake of challenging God. Look at what he said. Unless God Almighty tells me to get out of the race, I'm not, I'm not quitting, and that's not going to
Starting point is 00:02:20 happen. Don't challenge God. Six hours later, he was out. Now, he's very, very, very bitter about being forced out because he did not want to quit this race. But Obama orchestrated this. It was Obama who cut off his money. It was Obama who arranged for the George Clooney op-ed in the New York Times. It was Obama who lined up Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and all of the power centers of the Democrat Party. That is, that's why Joe threw in the towel six hours after he said he would not throw in the towel. Now we have elevated somebody that you point out correctly. No one has ever voted for.
Starting point is 00:03:09 The Democrat primary voters did not select her. They never had a chance to. So nobody voted for her. She had prior to her elevation to the nomination, she had a 38% unfavorable rating in the country. She was the lowest ranked public official in the federal government today by and large. As you correctly point out, her 2020 campaign doesn't give rise to any confidence that she is a skillful or fleet-footed candidate. Her public comments are almost always a word salad, although fortunately, we can understand some of them.
Starting point is 00:03:51 So, for example, when she proposed that U.S. taxpayers should pay for every penny of health care for every single individual, which I think is more than $20 million, just my opinion, of illegals who are in the country, that came through pretty loud and clear. Of course, they're trying to deny now that she ever said it. Or the fact that she was, without any question, as reported by NBC, ABC, ABC, and others, she was put in charge of our border policy. Maybe it was the media that used the word czar, but that's immaterial. She was given the responsibility of our border. She never even visited our border. When they asked her why she hadn't been to the border, she giggled and said, well, I haven't been to Europe either. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:04:35 That's a non-sequitur at best. So it's kind of funny now that they tell us overnight how wildly popular she is, how her campaign is surging. She's brought in $200 million through Act Blue, but I'll tell you right now, based on the investigative reporting of James O'Keefe and others, a lot of that money, maybe most of it is money laundered. It's not real. In other words, it's coming from small donors who give many, many, many times.
Starting point is 00:05:06 But then when you contact those actual people, you'll find that there are people of very modest means who in many cases couldn't afford these contributions. And more importantly, they deny ever having made them. Roger, this is a level of corruption. I say this over and over. I understand why many people aren't tracking because it's too much to bear. The idea that people in our government would try to murder President Trump, the idea that people in our government would just be fathomlessly corrupt, that they would do anything. I mean, the installation of Kamala Harris is baffling. I just want to get your behind-the-scenes view.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I never thought that she would be the nominee. I really thought that it would be Michelle Obama, that it would be someone else. What do you suppose is going on behind the scenes with that? I just can't believe that they're getting behind her. She's, she's bubbleheaded. She's dramatically radical leftist. I mean, there's nobody. Her father was a Marxist professor. And she is herself professing Marxist ideas like every taxpayer in America should pay. You just said it for millions and millions and millions of illegal aliens that have come into the country. We should cover the health care. She's a Marxist. She's a leftist on every level. So what do you think is going on behind
Starting point is 00:06:27 the scenes. Do you think that Obama thinks that she is the candidate? No, I actually think that he has grave reservations about that. That is why I believe he was late to endorse her. I still believe that since nothing here under their process legally binds the delegates. Their delegates don't have to vote for her. There's no party rule, and there's certainly no law. Laws don't regulate a convention. But there's nothing in the party rules that that require delegates to vote for her because they were not won in primaries and dedicated to her. So this is a very fluid convention. Now, yes, today, without any question, she's the probable nominee.
Starting point is 00:07:12 She's lined up, or I should say Barack Obama has lined up for her, the power centers in the Democrat Party, the money, their allies in the media, which is many. clearly they dictate opeds at the New York Post, probably the New York Times, excuse me. But I still think there's some skepticism there. I predicted for some time that the party would realize sooner or later that their strongest potential candidate was Michelle Obama. Now, let me be clear. I never said she was running.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I never said she wanted to run. I never said she would launch a campaign. What I've always said is I believe that she would be drafted at the last minute, and that an open runaway convention would choose her as the most popular Democrat in the country and the one without any issues track record to attack. But more than 50 percent of the delegates to the Democrat convention are non-white. That is not a reflection of America, but that is a reality. One third of the delegates, the Democratic National Convention, are controlled by three union bosses.
Starting point is 00:08:23 the chairman of the president, I should say, of the CWA, asked me, I forget the third one, but the more left-wing public employee unions. So three union leaders control those delegates. This is a very fluid situation. It is possible, conceivable, that if by, you know, August 1st, her poll numbers show her about where Joe Biden was, that people aren't buying into this incredible rollout of her kids. and the mainstream media telling us she's the greatest, most brilliant thing since sliced bread, then I think they could look for another candidate.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I think it is at this point unlikely, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to say it's impossible. Just to be clear, in the end of 2017, in an interview with the New American Magazine, I predicted that they would try to assassinate Donald Trump. It's there in black and white. And I said it based on my knowledge of the Kennedy assassination and the implacable opposition of the deep state and the ruling elites to Donald Trump, who after they failed to impeach him twice, after they failed to bankrupt him, after they failed to put him in jail, what else is left? They would ultimately try to kill him, and now they have done so. I predicted correctly that Joe Biden would not run again.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I also predicted that Kamala Harris would briefly become president. This is something else that... Hang on a second. This is called the cliffhanger. We'll be right back talking to Roger Stone. Hey, this is Eric Mettaxas. For years, I've told you about Nutrametics, a professional supplement brand trusted by doctors since 1993.

Inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. Welcome back, folks. I continue my conversation with Roger Stone. Roger, you rightly predicted all these things, not like Nostradamus, not like a prophet
Starting point is 00:12:18 of God, but like somebody who knows politics and who knows this world so well. that you can't help but have the conclusions that you just outlined. One of those things that you said was that you knew, and even I knew that Biden would not be the nominee. I knew that. And I have a sense, as I think you do, that he will not finish his term. How is it possible that someone as non-composmentous as Joe Biden, who has been pushed out of the race, could even be thought by most Americans to be president at this point. I mean, I've been saying this for a couple of years that he wasn't the president, that Obama was running things, that other people were running
Starting point is 00:13:02 things. But now that he's been publicly exposed as unable to think clearly or express himself clearly, how is it possible that between now and January, he can continue to function somehow as the president? You raise a very legitimate question here, which is why I still. I still believe that he may yet be replaced before this election. If he's not well enough to run for reelection, then how can he be well enough to have his finger on the nuclear trigger? This is deeply disturbing. And more and more precisely, if you go back and look at what Kamala Harris told us the day after that disastrous debate, she said he was sharp as attack. She said, no, no, you got to see him behind the scenes. He's strong. He's decisive. He's on top of it.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Those things were obviously lies. If that were true, then why did they bludgeon him out of this race? So there are two possibilities here. And I don't wish this on him. I really do not. I want to make that clear. But they could still remove him under the 25th Amendment. I'm born of a need to elevate her status.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Now she's the first woman president running for re-election. That's why you should vote for her. or they could also kill him the way they killed John F. Kennedy, the way they killed Abraham Lincoln, the way they tried to kill Donald J. Trump. Again, I pray that I'm wrong about that, but if they were willing to try to kill Trump to affect the next election, why would they not try potentially to kill Biden? And let's face it, if Joe Biden died in his sleep tomorrow, would anyone be surprised? Would Anyone think that was suspicious given his uneven performances in public and the fact that, well, let's just face it, he seems like he's out of it. So, look, I hope to be wrong about that prediction.
Starting point is 00:15:03 But I think politically, this isn't just about Republican versus Democrat. They understand that Donald Trump is an existential threat to their entire system, to the entire war machine. War is extremely profitable. They want war with. Russia over Ukraine. They'll make billions more out of that war. We're funding both sides of the conflict in the Middle East. Why would you do that? I mean, I understand why we're supporting Israel. I'm a supporter of Israel. Sometimes I think they have excesses, but I'm a supporter. But why would we be unfreezing $190 billion for Iran? They are most definitely not our friend. They're using that
Starting point is 00:15:49 money to finance the development of their nuclear weapons program, as well as financing Hamas and Hezbollah in their attacks on Israel. This is an Obama policy, by the way. It's Obama, who came up with the idea that raising the strength and profile of Iran would create greater balance in the region. That's insanity is what that is. So I hope that I'm wrong. This election is going to be a roller coaster and it's going to be a nail biter.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Right now, you're in a point where she is going to be able, to a certain extent, to dominate the news. The selection of her running mate. My sources tell me that two weeks ago, the front runner, the almost certain pick, was Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania. This comes from the same source who told me on a Friday that Joe would resign by letter on Sunday. day afternoon. Told me a lot of other accurate things as well. But now I'm told that Obama, having asserted himself into this process, has suggested that the selection of Shapiro, a Jew, will hurt Kamala very badly in Michigan and Minnesota, where you have very large Muslim American populations who are very active in the Democrat Party, who are major factors in Democrat victories
Starting point is 00:17:17 in those states. But it seems to me that the former astronaut Mark Kelly, who many thought would be a strong candidate, has probably eliminated himself based on the fact that he's in part, he's partners with a Chinese communist company that makes the surveillance balloons like the one that was used to fly across the United States during the Biden administration and spy on our country. I guess in his spare time, in his part-time, he also has a job as the U.S. Senator from Arizona. So I think he is now an unlikely candidate. We would certainly attack that Chinese communist conflict of interest.
Starting point is 00:18:03 So I believe that Obama will dictate the choice of get ready because you've ever heard of this guy, Governor Tim Walsh of Minnesota. I had to look the guy up. I never heard of him, but now that I have looked at him, he's an angry white man who keeps trying to inject race into this. He keeps making racist comments. Donald Trump's going to get his ass beat by a black woman, his words, not mine. That's not appropriate. But nobody will criticize him because he's a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:18:34 You see, they pretty much say whatever they want. Wow. So it's going to be Harris, Waltz, you think. I still am fascinated by the process. In other words, I didn't get it when the Clintons so quickly endorsed Kamala Harris. I thought to myself, for sure, Hillary Clinton has to think, this is my chance. I am the strongest candidate. Get out of the way. They didn't. What do you suppose was behind that with the Clintons? Well, first of all, my understanding is that Joe Biden believes that the Clintons were complicit in the effort of with Obama to remove him. Now, it's important for your viewers to understand. The Obamas and the Clintons are not allies, nor do they get along.
Starting point is 00:19:24 There's still a lot of very bad feeling. The birther matter, the question whether Barack Obama was born in the United States, that was dreamed up by Sidney Blumenthal and first put out there by the Clinton campaign. So Trump is a racist because he raised this question. No, Hillary Clinton and her minions are the first one. to ever raise it. But in this case, I think it's pretty clear, Eric. Hillary was angling for the vice presidency.
Starting point is 00:19:52 In other words, if we're going to go with women, let's go all the way. I have more substance than Kamala, so that I'd be a good balance for the ticket. And then if they'd be the Dick Cheney figure, the sort of the gravitas. For a while, but if they were to be elected, let's face it, Kamala Harris would need a food taster. But I think that was the maneuver there, and it failed. I think even they recognize that the nomination of two women is probably too much of a historical first. There are those in the Democrat Party who have argued that the nomination of a woman of color, at a minimum, and Josh Shapiro, a woman and a Jew, that that would be too much for the electorate. We have had a Jewish vice presidential
Starting point is 00:20:41 candidate before. Joe Lieberman, a nice man, a good man. I didn't agree with his politics, but I liked him very much on a personal level, came from my native state of Connecticut, and I supported him over at Lowell Weicker, the liberal Republican and epically corrupt a U.S. Senator from Connecticut. So anyway, it is, I think that the Clinton's quick endorsement was a maneuver to, at a minimum, affect the selection of the vice presidency. But from me, from a very much, And what I'm told, Obama has moved very aggressively to get control of the Kamala campaign, and they have a tough job. They have to hide her for 97 days.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Whenever she is out there speaking, not from a teleprompter, she's in danger because she's in danger because she's not fleet of foot. She's not articulate. She wants to debate with Donald Trump. Sorry, lady, you may be sorry that you get what you wish for. He will destroy her in a debate. If you watch the black press association meeting the other day, yesterday, I guess it was, you got a sample of exactly where they're going to come.
Starting point is 00:21:54 So it'll all be attack politics. In other words, she's going to want to call Trump a racist. She's going to want to call him a rapist. She's going to want to talk about January 6th. She's going to want to talk about things he didn't say in Charlottesville. things he didn't say in the French cemetery. You can see where this is coming from. The president, I think, has the bearing and the Cajonese.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Just weep that, wipe that crap aside, said no. Future is not about the, the election is not about the past. It's about the future. You were in charge of the border. Let me start reading off the names of people who were murdered by illegal. It's murdered by illegal aliens. to a break, folks, I continue my conversation with the great Roger Stone, don't go away.

Roger, two days ago when the president was at this black journalists, it was like a setup. It was unbelievable. And he was, he was, he looked, he's so
Starting point is 00:24:27 funny. This is one of his tremendous strengths is he speaks the truth and it's hilarious. And when he said that he, he says, I knew Kamala Harris, not well, but I, but I knew her. And back then she was publicly identified as an Indian American. And then suddenly she became black. And I thought, this is so funny. Most of America, including black Americans, are dying, laughing at this because it's true. We're playing this game of identity politics and how do you identify. And, you know, everyone knows she's she's kind of putting on this identity. It's kind of like a blackface identity because it will help her, she thinks. But Trump calls it out. I mean, it was, it's, it's amazing to me that he has the guts, the courage to say things like that. Well, I kind of go back to the debate
Starting point is 00:25:23 with Hillary when she said, we can't have a man like Donald Trump. Trump in charge of our Department of Justice? And he said, no, because you'd be in prison. Can you imagine Jeb Bush saying that? No. No, well, that's what's so delightful. It was one of those moments when I think millions of Americans thought, I like this guy because I didn't even know it was possible to be like that,
Starting point is 00:25:46 to be that honest, that real. I didn't know. That was possible. I never even dreamt it could happen. And here it is. And so it's at least refreshing. Should we talk for a moment about this? I mean, a lot of the pundits are saying it doesn't pull well.
Starting point is 00:26:03 It's not good to question her identity in that way to say that she's in a – I don't know what I think about it. I just find it hilarious. I think it's absolutely necessary because she's pretending to be something she is not for political purposes. And it's a fraud. By the way, people need to examine her ethnicity. I think it's a fair question. and what their attitude has been towards black Americans. But if nothing else, Donald Trump, has just informed a very substantial amount,
Starting point is 00:26:35 a number of Americans who are under the impression she was African American. She is not, and she should not get away with claiming that. On the other hand, you know, she's got other problems as well. This had to be brought out in public sooner or later. Trump himself did it. I guarantee he doesn't regret it. You know who doesn't like it? The people who are already supporting her.
Starting point is 00:27:00 It polls terribly among them. Among the people who are supporting Trump, they're saying, yeah, tell the truth. There's a small group in the middle. Let's see what they think. In all honesty, I think they're more concerned about the cost of a gallon of gasoline. They're more concerned about the fact that when they go to the grocery store, their dollar just doesn't buy enough food for their family. They're concerned about the fact that they cannot find affordable housing any place.
Starting point is 00:27:26 buying a house is out of the question, money is not available. The interest rates are too high. And rental housing is not even available. And when it is, it's being usurped by government to house people who are here illegally. These are all very legitimate issues. Now when you compare them to issues that don't affect anyone's life, which is her lying about her ethnicity, no, I don't think it's going to be a driving issue. but it does expose her character. Character is a fair issue in a presidential campaign.
Starting point is 00:28:03 They're going to want to say that Donald Trump is a rapist, even though that's not what a New York court found. If that's true, then I hate to say it, but her relationship with the married Willie Brown, who, by the way, is a good friend of mine, and like you, was on my international best dress list, several years in a row, then that's fair game. That's not what I'd like to be talking about in this campaign. But if she's going to attack Trump as a rapist, then her sexual history, I guess, is going to get discussed. It's not what this campaign should be about.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I do think the key to beating her by Trump and the Republicans is not these ad hominem personal attacks. Don't attack her as dumb, for example. Don't attack her for her for her inability to speak. Attack her for her positions on the issues. Attack her for her responsibility for the Biden-Harris record. Does anyone believe the country would safer or more prosperous or that we would have a greater prospect for world peace under a president,
Starting point is 00:29:16 Kamala Harris, given her record in the Biden-Harris administration? We've just got a minute left here. I simply think the optics of her representing the United States of America would be a scandal. The idea of this woman who comes across as giggly, silly, the idea of her meeting with world leaders and them taking her seriously, that's to me the non-starter. She simply doesn't come across as anyone with any kind of gravitas. I look, I completely and totally agree again with your analysis. Eric, it's been great to be here with you. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I ask folks to go by stonezone.com and see what I've written on many of the topics we're discussing today and so on. So great to be with you. Stonezone.com. Stonezone.com. Yeah, you've written so many good books, Roger, and you are constantly writing. about what's going on. We've only touched on a few of these things, but people should check you out at stonezone.com. They should also learn, men should learn how to dress from you. We don't have time to get into that right now, but it's just a joy to have you.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Thanks for coming on and discussing all these things. Eric, as always, it's great to be with you, and God bless you. God bless you, my friend. I'm excited we have a new sponsor and friend at the Eric Mattaxas show. is noble gold investments. You can check them out at noblegoldinvestments.com. And I'm sitting right now with Colin Plume, who's the president and CEO of noble gold investments. So I have a few questions I want to ask you. You were saying something about the IRA. Talk about that. Yeah. So we help people, a lot of people aren't aware that you can acquire golden silver platinum plating in your IRA. And it's not a stock or a fund. And it's not mining stocks. It's actual physical
Starting point is 00:31:46 gold and silver. In 1987, they started to allow this as an option because, as you can recall, in the early 80s, we had crazy inflation, you know, double digit, high 18 percent inflation, 16 percent. So the government realized, like, maybe we should have something else as an offer. They also started minting their own coins at the same time, coincidentally. So we help people, old 401Ks, IRAs, TSPs, any account, we can help them move it out of stocks and bonds and whatever into owning physical gold that they own. And the reason that people do it and they like it is it's a self-directed IRA.
Starting point is 00:32:24 So we do help you. We do the paperwork. We do all the work. But you're in control of it. So you can acquire when you want. You can sell it when you want. Obviously, you get all the tax advantages of having it within an IRA vehicle. So we've had clients this year that have sold some of their gold and they've transitioned into silver.
Starting point is 00:32:42 And that's a tax-free event. So that's how they've been able to take advantage of it being in a tax-free vehicle. So it's something that we offer. We also sell metals directly to clients and ship it or we store it, but the IRA has become very popular over the last few years. I want to ask you, it says that there are two classic conditions historically that increase the price of gold. One is a weak dollar and another is falling interest rates.
Starting point is 00:33:11 So why would interest rate cuts, which seem to be probable, why would that be good for gold? Yeah, the top analysis or analysts out there think we have about an 80% chance in September that we're going to have a rate cut. And I believe that to be true also. I've looked at all the different studies. Also, the last Fed report, Powell sort of went away from talking about the interest rates and what's when I started talking about the employment. And so I think they're setting it up for them to lower rates to hopefully help employment. And the reason thinking is if rates go lower, it allows for more job growth. So I believe that September will see it.
Starting point is 00:33:52 The reason that does is a few things. One is you're opening up the money supply. That's one of the reasons that people believe it will help gold. The other reason is that a lot of investors will just lose the ability to have all their cash in the banks. There's been a lot of money in the banks. And it's a cash trap, right? If the banks are paying 4%, what are the banks really making on their money? How are they profiting?
Starting point is 00:34:15 They can't just pay you for and not profit. So I think there's a cash trap with a lot of people, and they have a lot in cash. And I think when they drop rates, the 4% days in the bank will drop. And then I think over the next 16 to 18 months, I think we'll see it go back to the low twos. And then the question is, is like, how do you make up enough money to keep up with the cost of living? and I don't think anyone is willing to take that chance at a two or two and a half percent return. You said earlier that last year gold was around $1,900, and it's now at $2,400? That is very dramatic.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I'm surprised to hear that's a huge jump. What accounts for that? Well, it's interesting. You think it'd be the retail market, like funds, but the fund market, the hedge funds and those haven't really jumped in yet. A lot of the buying has been from central banks. It's been a heavy buy year for central banks. China came out with a very coy statement that they are slowing down their buying. But interestingly enough, they did the same thing in the early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:35:15 They said they slowed down buying. And then in 2009, they said their reserves went up by 65%. So actually, they were buying the whole time. But, you know, China is not so deliberate or willing to give out information. So a lot of it has to do with central bank demand. I also think it just comes down to the cost of pulling gold and silver out of the ground has gotten more expensive. So I think it's been a reaction of that. But yes, you're right.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Like your typical bull run and gold would be tied into, you know, lower cheap money. You know, Black Swan, we did have a – we've had a few things happen. We haven't seen your typical events to push gold up. But I think people realize that it's a price that's desirable. I'm telling people the website is noblegoldinvestments.com. Now, if people go there, you talked a little bit earlier, about personal attention, those of people are looking for guidance with the finances. So talk a little bit about Noble Gold investments, how you do that.
Starting point is 00:36:12 So we're a U.S.-based company, and we actually have live people. You're not going to talk to a bot or AI. You're going to get a representative, and they also have a person that's working with them. So Noble Gold sort of trended in the opposite direction of a lot of businesses where they've gone so digital and AI-driven. We have people, which I think people like. So you get a person to talk to. we have gold investment guides, silver investment guides.
Starting point is 00:36:37 The most recent thing that we've come up with and worked on is our Kevin Sorbo masterclass, which is less than an hour. It's video, and that's totally for free, and it's for people that want to learn in a video format. So it talks about, because Kevin has been buying gold since the early 80s, which I found out over the last few years. So we've combined and put a master class together. So we have a lot of free information. So our goal is to educate people.
Starting point is 00:37:03 people on precious metals, get them a lot of good information, and then have a relationship with them over many years. Well, I love that. And we're going to go in a second here, but I was going to say, this stuff is so beautiful. Is this a silver? I mean, is this silver? That's silver, yeah. That's a five-ounce silver, America, the Beautiful coin.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Now, what is that worth? That's about $180. I can afford this. Okay, I can afford this. I know you're going to not let me keep any of this stuff. Now, you sure you don't want to, like, let me hold on to this for just a couple of months. A couple of months. I think we're at a time.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I think we're going to conclude you will let me keep this. Yes, absolutely. And you'll let me keep this. Yes. And actually, the silver Trump rounds and this flag bar. Okay. That's exciting. Listen, Colin Plum, really nice to meet you.
