Bring Me The Head of Roger Stone

 Bring Me The Head of Roger Stone

APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- A play on the old movie title of "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia", as President Trump stands in total disarray as his main man goes up against Special Counselor Robert Mueller.   Roger Stone is defiant and will not give up without a fight to the finish with his love and devotion to the president.  In today's podcast, the music of Jan Daley, Katrina Bishop and Yuval Bless and news of the Southeast Asian Deportations by the Trump Administration that is not getting any news.  Local history on Mesa Arizona's George Sirrine of 1878 from the Arizona Beehive.



    

Roger J. Stone, Jr. is a political operative who has been working in presidential campaigns for over 40 years. He started with the re-election of Richard Nixon in 1972 and continued to the recent election of Donald Trump in 2016. He's credited as being a pioneer or innovative in negative advertising and media attacks. He became a successful lobbyist and powerful in what was called "influence peddling." He was a key adviser in rallying, right-wing crowds, but he was viewed as a puppet-master who could manipulate candidates like chess pieces. He is currently attributed to being the puppet-master to Trump during his campaign last year. This documentary traces the origin of that relationship.

Directors Dylan Bank, Daniel DiMauro and Morgan Pehme conduct two recent interviews of Stone and Trump. It's good, but both interviews end up being pointless. It seems unlikely that the directors would have been able to interrogate Trump. He never would have allowed anything even resembling a probe to make him account for the inner-workings of his campaign, but someone like Errol Morris would have come in handy to pry at least something more interesting than what this movie provides.
