1:18:13 I one trillion percent agree and let's talk about your prediction of the 2020 election that turned out to be right. Let me come back. I got down on my knees and I began to pray. By the way, Roger's always been a Christian but not a Bible thumper and God always uses imperfect people. That's who God rises up except in the case of Christ who was perfect from birth. Let me tell you, Roger has done some serious Christian lecturing to me.
1:18:50 He's the real deal, calling me up at 5am, telling me about Jesus. Or I'll be sitting there in a steakhouse with him in Florida, and I'm going, look at that waitress, my God. And I'm married, and it's okay, I mean, I don't cheat on my wife. He's like, stop that, we don't do that now. God doesn't, I mean, it's like, it's real. So Roger Stone is, I mean, I'm admitting I'm kind of a devil. Sometimes I can't help myself, it just slips out. But Roger is on the straight and narrow. And Roger, you look healthier, you look younger than when I first knew you. It's like Christ has really empowered you. I didn't mean to come back and bring that up. I didn't tell you I'd bring it up. But when the media makes fun of you, you in the lion's den, you in the fiery furnace, you had a real conversion. People shouldn't make fun of that. The left should experience it and cry out to Jesus and say, God of your will, show me. And you did that and God showed you.
1:19:37 I've experienced four miracles in my lifetime, Alex, in very short order. First of all, of course, the commutation of my sentence when they wanted to send me to a dank Georgia prison to die of COVID-19. But you had your conversion before that. Spend a few minutes on this. No, I did because I realized at a certain point that I was... Explain it. I don't mean to interrupt. I'm going to shut up. You, I know the story. I want you to tell it. You told me this a bunch in person. Start crying at dinner. I mean, this is real, folks. How you called out and then magically, you said the weight came off you. You were confident suddenly and everything changed. I don't want to tell your story, but take your time. Alex, everything you say is true. I reached a point
1:20:16 facing the Soviet-style show trial that I was being subjected to, I realized there was no chance that I would be acquitted, no chance of a fair trial. I realized that my own lawyers would not even put up a fight, even though I had substantial evidence in emails, text message, videos, audios of my innocence. I realized it was hopeless. And therefore I became depressed. I'm a. And it was then that I had an opportunity through my friend, Reverend Randy Coggins, to meet with Reverend Franklin Graham. And of course, I was still thinking politically because I knew Franklin Graham was a good friend of President Trump's. And I thought maybe I could get him to put in a good word for me for presidential clemency. And while he was kind, he said, well, I'll see what I can do. He said, let me give you a much, much better piece of advice. You need to turn your burden over to the Lord.
1:21:14 You need to confess your sins. And then he said you need to turn your life over to Christ. So I then went. immediately to his revival at a field in Boca Raton with about 2,000 other people. And there was a point in his oration where he said, I don't care if your problem is drug addiction or alcohol addiction or gambling addiction or health problems or family problems or financial problems. I don't care what your problems are. The Lord will lift you up. The Lord will sustain you. The Lord will protect you from your persecutors.
1:21:57 if you will get right with God. And at that moment, I I felt the calling to stand up with 200 other Christians and reaffirm my faith and be redeemed in the blood of the cross. And Alex, from that moment, everything changed. The commutation of my sentence, my unconditional pardon, my wife's incredible recovery from stage four aggressive cancer, the fact that on January 6th, I never left the hotel grounds. I never went to the Capitol, I never went to the Ellipse, and now I will be calling on the Lord again because my persecutors appear to be focused on me yet again. Here's the great thing about faith that I've learned. If you have complete faith, you are without fear.
1:22:43 You can download and get away from fear by realizing that you have to put all of your faith in the Lord. Now, was I a wild man? Alex, I was a libertine. I was a wild man. You name it, I did it. I'm not that person anymore. And I know that elites laugh at us when we talk about Christ. I know the folks at Media Matters for America and the New York Times and the rest of it, they snicker when we talk about my newfound redemption. I don't really care what they think. I only care what he thinks.
1:23:19 And as a political strategist for 40 years, as someone who kind of looks at a set of facts and a situation and devises an overall global strategy for my clients or from my political point of view, I now realize that the single best strategy is to put your faith in the Lord. I do think that the Lord will not allow the destruction of everything that he has created. Well, that's right. If God be with us, who can be against us? And I don't claim to be some preacher or some perfect person either, but I love God. I know God is real and I've experienced that power. And you're right. Put God and the worship of God, the belief in God first and foremost, ask God to lead God and direct you and God will change your life. And that's our secret weapon against these Satanists.
