One of the best things about these oxford youtube videos is that whoever is putting them up does an excellent job making it so that we don't have to listen to some person rambling on and on before the actual person we came to listen to comes on and starts talking. Every video should be 5-10 seconds before the main speaker, the speaker in the title of the youtube video, comes on and starts!

Dear Mr. Stone, I am from Europe and you have been my most respected guide through the 2016 US primaries and the unique outcome of it and as an Eorpean I am still no less interested in listening to every word you speak so eloquently. Dear Roger, I cannot withold myself from stating publicly (which is not prudent) that this OxfordUnion-speech you gave recently was not only excellent it was MOST EXCELLENT indeed; I have been listening with eyes closed and been listening well. Dont'believe all theory ! Follow the truth. May not only your grandchildren but your nation as well, be proud of YOU long after this lifetime is over. As you rightfully stated so from your vast experience: in politics even a month or two weeks can be a lifetime. Thank you Mr. Stone for your insight and speaking out your unique way.

Like him or not he's right, and people simply don't like hearing the truth. Debate is debate and you won't learn anything just talking to yourself all day long!

[cjh]

Roger Stone starts with "I can't wait to hear what i have to say". A deplorable human being.

[robertpalmer]

Anyone who has tried to speak coherently for an hour like this, with little or no script, knows how hard it really is. Roger is incredibly articulate and intelligent.

[kenanacampora]

This man speaks the truth in a very nice and civil way.

[gregghanson]

The Oxford Union is an international treasure.

[TheWizardonline]

It has a nice ring to it... "get me Roger Stone" lol

[CPTomk]

Great balanced perspective from roger. Refreshingly no waffle or question avoiding. Succinct and pertinent - a class act.

[kendorn]

Wow…..this is incredible. Thank you Mr. Stone

This speech captures the mood of the hour so perfectly. Among the top 10 videos on Youtube in 2018. I predict it. I feel that strongly about what Mr. Stone is saying. Roger Stone is absolutely brilliant and should be so much more appreciated, so much more revered. What a great mind, great patriot and great speaker. So polite in the face of obvious bias against him. Thank you, Roger Stone.

[YourPledge]

Thank you Roger Stone. See you on the front

[parism]

Very nice talk. Thank you. This man should be freed

[PaulHenreid]

There are reasons people want to get Roger Stone; he is an expert political operative that calls it like it is and is very entertaining. If I am wrong, what did he state that was wrong? Did you find any of his statements or opinions to be untrustworthy? I usually get annoyed by speakers after a few minutes; there are a few exceptions, and Roger Stone is one of them. Bravo! Encore!

Roger Stone is a beast. This was Feb it is now Sep. He was on the mark then and now.

[abstruk]

Well Done indeed. In light of the current Mueller hearing, Mr. Stone nailed this presentation to the oxford crowd.
