Welcome to 1947 and today show we're going to give you the full unedited audio from an interview I conducted recently with Roger Stone

for Meet the Press Daily

As a longtime advisor to Donald Trump Stone talks about Russia Steve Bannon and why he believes he was under federal surveillance

during last year's election

It's fascinating conversation

Obviously we think videos good, but audio is better sometimes right so enjoy this audio

Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to meet the press meet the press

And joining me now is somebody who may not need an introduction at least in the political world a

Self-proclaimed dirty trickster if you will Roger Stone Mr. Stone. Welcome to the show great to be here

Let me start with some of the news of the week

You speak Trump ease so explain all the flip-flops this week on one hand they seem to be

shocking to some of his supporters and at the same time for me totally expected what's a you?

I guess I'm not seeing the flip-flops that the president puts leveraging the Chinese

when it comes to the North Korean nuclear threat above you know

Taking to task for currency manipulation and trade irregularities is not surprising

It doesn't mean he's not going to do those things it just means that the North Korean problem has a greater priority on NATO

Never said he wanted to end NATO. He said since 1988

That he thinks that our that our partners should pay their fair share after all NATO was founded at a time that we were wealthy

And they were broke now we're broke and they're wealthy

They should pay their fair share

He was pushing back more like what is the purpose of NATO just a couple months ago now he says you know what? Nope

Well, and on Syria
