Summary

In this episode of The Stone Zone with Roger Stone, host Troy Smith and co-host Brad Squires discuss the latest in the ongoing case against President Trump by former federal judge Andrew Weissmann and his daughter, Lauren Wanberchan. They discuss the conflict of interest between the fact that her own father is presiding over a politically weaponized court case, and that her daughter is working with Democrats to raise money for them. They also discuss how the House of Representatives turned the case into a mudslinging match between Jasmine Crockett and Democratic Rep. Joe Biden, and how the entire episode was hijacked by the left to distract us from the real issue at hand, which is that President Trump is being used as a political weapon by the Democrats in order to advance their political agenda and get their name in front of the American public.

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:12.100 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:16.380 He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:22.020 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts,
00:00:26.020 spoken at countless venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:33.040 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:38.380 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:44.080 Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Troy Smith.
00:00:46.780 I am your usual co-host today, filling in for Roger Stone here on The Stone Zone.
00:00:51.160 I want to welcome you to the show, and I want to encourage you to follow us here on Rumble.com.
00:00:56.020 slash Roger Stone, so you can catch us every single day here in The Stone Zone.
00:01:00.960 Later on today, we have a very exciting guest who's running for Congress in the 11th District of Virginia,
00:01:06.480 and we're excited to bring him on, and I can't wait to introduce that guest later in the show.
00:01:10.980 But for today, we wanted to start off with some of the hot topic issues politically that are happening in the country.
00:01:17.600 And I wanted to start with something that is incredibly important, because so often we see things that are important masked by things that really don't matter.
00:01:27.320 And it's important because just like the left wanted to mask you during the COVID-19 pandemic,
00:01:32.220 they want to mask the important political topics of the day.
00:01:36.020 So I found it interesting that it was actually after Marjorie Taylor Greene talked about Judge Wanberchan's daughter in the House of Representatives
00:01:45.320 that Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat representative, attacked her, calling her like a butch lesbian or something like that,
00:01:53.040 and making fun of her appearance.
00:01:54.960 And I wanted to roll that clip first here so that you guys can see firsthand why the left was so unhinged when it came to these comments,
00:02:03.080 because really, MTG was addressing the heart of the matter, the real issue in the room that Judge Wanberchan's daughter is working
00:02:12.520 and profiting off of this trial against President Donald Trump, in which there is no underlying crime.
00:02:19.500 So the idea that Judge Wanberchan is compromised, that Democrats in the House and the Senate may be assisting Wanberchan's family
00:02:27.920 and paying them while this trial is going on, helping the Democrats across the country,
00:02:32.860 it's the exact reason why Jasmine Crockett had to turn it into a mudslinging match.
00:02:37.620 So let's watch that video of that altercation just before the insults just started getting hurled across the House floor.
00:02:45.260 And keep in mind, folks, the insults came out because this is what they didn't want you to hear.
00:02:50.640 Recognition?
00:02:51.720 Chair recognizes Ms. Green.
00:02:53.540 I'd like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Wanberchan's daughter.
00:03:01.860 The reason why I asked is because Judge Wanberchan's daughter has raised over $93 million for her clients
00:03:09.320 using the case that her own father is presiding over, which is completely weaponized against President Trump.
00:03:17.880 Judge Wanberchan's daughter, Lauren Wanberchan, is president and partner at Authentic Campaigns,
00:03:24.160 a powerful fundraising firm that raises millions and millions of dollars for Democrats.
00:03:29.520 And it is a complete conflict of interest that her own father is presiding over the weaponized court case against President Trump.
00:03:40.960 And surprise, surprise, because here's a list of her clients,
00:03:45.380 and look whose name happens to be among all the Democrats, Dan Goldman,
00:03:51.360 one of my Democrat colleagues that does serve on the Oversight Committee.
00:03:55.560 However, he kept his mouth shut and refused to admit that he was paying Judge Wanberchan's daughter.
00:04:04.080 And sure enough, Dan Goldman paid Lauren Wanberchan over $157,000 to raise money for his campaign.
00:04:13.800 Not only that, he's been going up and advising Michael Cohen,
00:04:17.900 giving him legal advice as Michael Cohen sits under oath and lies about President Trump.
00:04:23.660 In Judge Merchan's courtroom that is politically weaponized against President Trump.
00:04:30.520 Yes, the very judge whose daughter that Dan Goldman is paying to raise money for him.
00:04:36.500 The whole thing is a scam.
00:04:39.000 The entire thing is a political weapon and campaign arm for Joe Biden.
00:04:44.060 And it needs to stop.
00:04:45.200 Well, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
00:04:48.640 That's the key information that they don't want you to listen to,
00:04:51.640 and they want you to focus on the insults being hurled by MTG and Jasmine Crockett.
00:04:56.540 And I think, you know, obviously Jasmine Crockett wasn't the really stepped outside of the lines.
00:05:02.740 And look, I think if you told the founding fathers you showed them the clip of what was going on at the House,
00:05:09.300 they'd be very, very disappointed in this country.
00:05:13.640 And it's not about, it's not exactly about combating each other.
00:05:19.200 Because remember, back in the day, the founding fathers, you know,
00:05:21.640 these people would have gun duels outside of the Congress.
00:05:24.220 So it's not about, you know, civility as much as this decorum.
00:05:28.480 And just the idea that these people have no restraints on what they'll say.
00:05:33.800 I mean, Jasmine Crockett, the way she was acting on the House floor,
00:05:36.240 even a few years ago, that would have been unacceptable.
00:05:38.960 Now, the Democrats laud her as a hero.
00:05:41.180 She does CNN appearances where they praise her.
00:05:44.460 And I happen to realize that, you know, and this is the thing.
00:05:47.800 I think there's a lot of people out there that don't like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:05:50.180 And for that, they cast her as the villain in this.
00:05:54.400 Oh, she started it.
00:05:55.420 Oh, she's trying to, you know.
00:05:56.660 And here's the thing.
00:05:57.920 Marjorie Taylor Greene is a voice.
00:05:59.680 And I did a whole article about this at Slingshot News that people could go check out.
00:06:02.900 It's called, Will Marjorie Taylor Greene be forced out of Congress?
00:06:06.880 And the question is, you know, the establishment Republicans,
00:06:11.400 the people that are in control of the Republican Party,
00:06:13.820 especially in the House of Representatives,
00:06:15.720 they don't stand for anything that the Republican voters actually stand for.
00:06:20.500 And on the key issues, whether it be the war in Ukraine,
00:06:24.000 whether it be the COVID-19 vaccines,
00:06:25.940 whether it be this funding for infrastructure and things of that nature and things.
00:06:34.720 Here's the thing.
00:06:35.500 Here's what they do, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:37.120 They build a $330 billion internet cable that's outdated by the time the construction even starts on it.
00:06:44.340 So that's your infrastructure.
00:06:46.140 And we call that wasteful spending.
00:06:48.140 So when it comes to wasteful spending, not infrastructure,
00:06:51.800 and it comes to the key issues really of our time,
00:06:55.400 there's nobody who is closer to the opinion of the Republican voter base across the country
00:07:01.120 than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:07:02.700 And I find it incredibly interesting that she becomes the target for basically everybody on the right and the left
00:07:08.540 when she's really merely a representative of what the people believe,
00:07:13.000 especially in the Republican voter base.
00:07:15.780 You see, she is a sign to the establishment that the days of them kind of going against their voters
00:07:22.820 and being able to fool everybody are kind of over.
00:07:26.040 And Donald Trump represents that, Marjorie Taylor Greene represents that,
00:07:29.060 and several other representatives.
00:07:30.500 So I want to applaud Marjorie Taylor Greene for doing that on the House floor,
00:07:33.960 bringing up that Judge Wanmer-Chan's daughter is being paid by a lot of top Democrats in the House.
00:07:41.000 And it also leads me into our next subject here, which is something I always love to talk about on the Stone Zone.
00:07:48.320 Roger's been provoking her on Twitter recently, Jen Psaki.
00:07:53.140 She, a few weeks ago, and this was during her election coverage with Rachel Maddow,
00:07:58.940 Jen Psaki made a statement about the state of Virginia.
00:08:01.780 And I bring this up because our guest today is running for Congress in the 11th District.
00:08:09.540 We're actually going to play the video for him as well to get his comments on it.
00:08:12.960 But I want to kind of run this here because it's just something we want to hammer again and again.
00:08:17.520 Jen Psaki said on national TV she laughed in the faces of Republican voters in Virginia
00:08:25.620 for saying in exit polling that the top issue in the 2024 election for them was immigration and illegal immigration.
00:08:34.280 And Joe Biden's busted southern border that has seen over 7 million illegal immigrants enter the country since he took office.
00:08:42.780 She laughed in the faces of people who said that that was their top issue heading into 2024.
00:08:48.540 Let's roll that clip of Jen Psaki.
00:08:50.700 I mean, if you look at some of these exit polls, I mean, I live in Virginia.
00:08:52.960 Immigration was the number one issue.
00:08:56.320 I mean, again, these could change in Virginia.
00:08:59.060 Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia.
00:09:01.260 Very, very contested area.
00:09:03.580 But you're thinking, like, what?
00:09:05.580 Well, and then, folks, let's roll the headline from May 16th.
00:09:10.860 Campbell County Sheriff's Office charges an illegal immigrant with raping a minor.
00:09:14.840 And, yes, this is in Campbell County, Virginia.
00:09:17.900 So while the Democrat elitist politicians and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media laugh at the American people for daring to care about immigration,
00:09:29.120 for daring to care about who's coming into their country and what kind of malicious intent they might have,
00:09:35.600 the people of Virginia are the ones who suffer.
00:09:38.200 And as we see with that headline, I would point out when Jen Psaki was laughing at the people who said that immigration was their top issue heading into 2024,
00:09:50.860 she was laughing at this poor minor who was raped by an immigrant.
00:09:54.360 She was laughing at the families of the victims of people who have been murdered by illegal immigrants like Lakin Riley or as President Joe Biden would call her Lincoln Riley because he can't even say the name right.
00:10:08.960 This is what the Democrat Party has become, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:12.580 It's almost unbelievable that they win anything.
00:10:16.760 And I think that comes back to our elections and the problems that we have within our elections.
00:10:21.380 And I think this is a fundamental issue that a lot of people are not addressing.
00:10:25.660 The root cause of, and here's what it comes down to, folks, the root cause of election problems in this country are the people who work on the elections.
00:10:36.420 The people that do the day-to-day election work, the poll workers, none of the fraud happens unless those people are in on it.
00:10:45.180 The election administrators, the people who really control the votes,
00:10:49.200 those people are the ones that allow people that believe that it's okay to laugh at the Virginia voter who's concerned about the southern border as minors are raped in the state by illegal immigrants.
00:11:02.140 That's what allows these people to get into office.
00:11:04.440 It's something that has to be addressed, and it's something that we simply have to keep hammering towards the election, folks,
00:11:10.480 because the Democrats want to bust open that border forever.
00:11:15.020 However, their answer was a bill in which millions of people would be permitted illegal entry into the country every single year,
00:11:22.900 and they called it border security.
00:11:25.140 We call that an open border, and it's exactly why the bill was tanked.
00:11:28.960 Anyway, folks, we have a lot more to get into.
00:11:30.660 Again, we have a great guest coming up that I don't think you're going to want to miss, folks, so don't tune out here.
00:11:36.000 Stay tuned into the Stone Zone, and we're going to do a crass commercial break, as Roger says, to keep the lights on.
00:11:41.660 So thank you. I'm Troy Smith. This is the Stone Zone.
00:11:44.840 Don't go away, because we'll be right back after this commercial message.
00:11:54.860 Sound's rolling. All three cameras. We're good.
00:11:57.500 And you're speaking.
00:12:00.160 Is there any regrets that you have in life?
00:12:03.360 I should sit here and say, yeah, I got a lot of regrets.
00:12:07.120 But when I look back on my life, and I understand the lives that were lost, I mean, I'm sitting here with you.
00:12:18.900 And I can tell my story.
00:12:21.240 Former National Security Advisor, Lieutenant General Michael Flannick, leading guilty today for lying to the FBI.
00:12:26.740 He was one of the most respected generals in the military.
00:12:28.900 He was, by definition, the most dangerous possible person for Donald Trump to hire.
00:12:34.620 He's a brilliant military career, serving 33 years ago.
00:12:38.340 Why was he being so elusive?
00:12:39.240 Mike Flannick told the truth and faced life in prison.
00:12:42.060 Glutathione, I'm so excited that we have a fantastic delivery system for it, because glutathione is the master detoxifier and master antioxidant.
00:13:04.080 Glutathione's like oxygen, okay?
00:13:06.020 You will die in three to seven minutes if you don't get glutathione.
00:13:10.640 Wow.
00:13:11.000 And three to seven minutes.
00:13:12.920 And we have a way now to get the whole glutathione in your cells in about 90 seconds without using a glutathione IV.
00:13:23.360 It is the most important molecule in your body.
00:13:26.300 Glutathione helps your brain, your liver.
00:13:29.540 It performs 400 functions in your body.
00:13:33.140 So, it will detox every heavy metal, every pesticide, every herbicide.
00:13:39.960 It will detox spike protein from your body.
00:13:43.040 It will detox graphene oxide.
00:13:45.740 And it is the master detoxifier and antioxidant.
00:13:48.740 So, glutathione is needed every single day.
00:13:52.360 Noomi.com slash house one.
00:14:03.140 Ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to the Democrats, it's important to point out that it all comes back to a man named Saul Alinsky, who Hillary Clinton wrote her senior thesis on.
00:14:17.340 And Saul Alinsky created a book called Rules for Radicals in which he described the modern, basically the platform of the Democratic Party.
00:14:26.620 And one of these rules that he consistently pushed throughout his career was a rule in which he told his disciples, his political disciples like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, to accuse the other side of exactly what they were doing.
00:14:43.220 Now, it's important to point this out because Saul Alinsky is not just some mythological figure that these people have read about.
00:14:49.900 He's actually a living person who had ties to many Democrats who are in the House of Representatives today.
00:14:55.920 One of those representatives is Jamie Raskin, whose father worked very closely with Saul Alinsky through several organizations.
00:15:04.580 Now, we're going to play a clip from this weekend of Jamie Raskin ruthlessly attacking Donald Trump and all of his supporters, 80 million plus supporters, and basically disparaging Trump.
00:15:17.760 And I wanted to point this out because what Raskin is talking about in this instance are fraud trials that have been raised by the Biden administration, who has been caught with their fingers and their hands in the cookie jar at every level.
00:15:32.180 The Biden administration pushing these trials on every single level and Jamie Raskin in Congress, you know, saying this is why we can't have Donald Trump.
00:15:40.440 So it's a manufactured witch hunt trial that has no basis in reality.
00:15:46.060 There's no underlying crime.
00:15:47.560 We have everybody from Larry Kudlow to others just destroying the basis of this case on a daily basis.
00:15:55.040 They bring up Stormy Daniels, who believes that she's a ghost medium, and Michael Cohen, a convicted liar, who is literally streaming on TikTok, collecting tips so that he can get money and make money off of being a witness in the Trump trial.
00:16:10.800 While that's all going on, we have Jamie Raskin, whose father was a Saul Alinsky ally, propped up Alinsky, helped push his message out there, and to create the modern Democratic Party, using that fraud show trial to attack Donald Trump in Congress.
00:16:26.540 Let's roll that clip of Jamie Raskin.
00:16:28.080 Now, our originally scheduled performance was supposed to be at 11 a.m. today.
00:16:35.320 But it was postponed when members of the majority chose to join a mass spiritual pilgrimage to the New York criminal trial of a Florida man, an adjudicated fraudster and rapist, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying corporate financial records to cover up $130,000 paid in hush money to a porn star sex partner.
00:16:58.180 Now, although some people are churlishly complaining that members should actually be here to vote on public business and should not have forced a last-minute change in the committee schedule, our colleagues properly demonstrated for all of history their fierce devotion to this clearly reformed, devout, and pious Florida spiritual leader, who many supporters are now calling the Messiah from Mar-a-Lago.
00:17:24.140 That, let's start with the basics. Sexual partners. Stormy Daniels wrote a letter to Donald Trump in which she stated that there was no sexual relationship between them.
00:17:36.340 She's lied about that several other times, but if we want to get specific, she went on Bill Maher's show, and she actually said that she was not coerced, that there was a sexual relationship, and yet all of this, all of this, ladies and gentlemen, has not been allowed to be shown.
00:17:51.000 In fact, Trump was held in contempt of court when he posted the letter from Stormy Daniels, in which he states there's no sexual relationship.
00:17:59.420 He was held in contempt and fined by the court for having the balls to post the letter.
00:18:04.980 So, they tied Trump's hands behind his back. He's not allowed to speak for himself, and this is what enrages Jamie Raskin.
00:18:12.100 One, Trump represents truly the modern incarnation of the anti-communist political movement, and MAGA really is an anti-communist political movement.
00:18:25.380 It's a movement dedicated to the American Republic.
00:18:28.740 It's a movement that is dedicated to making America great again, and to pulling back the reins of world control from the communist Chinese.
00:18:38.600 That's what this is about, and for Alinskyites who practice communism like Jamie Raskin, it's very inconvenient to have somebody like Donald Trump around, and it gets me into my next point about President Joe Biden and these trials.
00:18:56.620 Now, they met with Fannie Willis. That's proven. That's been proven.
00:19:01.240 Letitia James is a Democrat disciple who was elected saying, we're going to get Trump.
00:19:07.420 And when you investigate Judge Engron or you investigate basically anybody but the Florida judge overseeing Trump's document case, you find ties to the Democrat establishment.
00:19:19.820 And isn't it surprising that the only judge that doesn't have severe ties to the Democrat political complex is the only trial that's really going really well for President Trump, and the media is apoplectic about that.
00:19:34.080 They are saying that the judge needs to be removed. They are really trying to intimidate the judge, kind of in a reverse psychology kind of thing.
00:19:42.820 So it gets me into my next point. The Biden administration is behind these trials.
00:19:46.640 Not only that, but the Biden DOJ is full throttle against President Trump right now, whether it be the documents case, whether it be Jack Smith in the January 6th case, which we're heading into.
00:19:57.860 And the Biden administration, hand in the cookie jar. I mean, it is so obvious that they are behind these things.
00:20:05.500 And yet they are following the Alinsky rule, the rules for radicals, the Jamie Raskin aligned Saul Alinsky and putting out disinformation.
00:20:15.940 Here's President Joe Biden claiming that if President Trump were elected, he would use the DOJ to go after his political opponents.
00:20:24.320 Wait, you mean like you? You mean like you, Joe Biden, where you've indicted Rudy Giuliani and you've indicted President Donald Trump and you've indicted all of these people who are your main political opposition?
00:20:35.600 Let's roll the clip of liar President Joe Biden.
00:20:39.180 Saying that what he's going to do is break the tradition of over 100 years.
00:20:43.660 They're going to tell the attorney general who he should prosecute.
00:20:45.880 They're going to prosecute. He's going to get his enemies.
00:20:48.800 I mean, this is the stuff of this is all anti-democratic, not a democratic party, a democracy.
00:20:56.760 Right.
00:20:57.200 It's at stake with this guy.
00:20:58.360 Democracy is at stake with Joe Biden, who is assisting the Iranians in a takeover of the Middle East, in their assault with Hamas on Israel, with their assault on Israel with Hezbollah and other factions.
00:21:13.920 Joe Biden has empowered the worst countries in the world.
00:21:17.140 Joe Biden has actually sat there on his hands as China advances in the Pacific, as they advance even in South America.
00:21:26.020 Globally, China's on the move.
00:21:28.740 Joe Biden has done the impossible in creating an alliance between Russia and China.
00:21:34.640 His leadership is that bad.
00:21:36.700 He pushed two mortal enemies together into an alliance.
00:21:41.400 Joe Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States.
00:21:46.280 And the only thing that surprises me about his presidency is that his approval rating is still higher than that of Jimmy Carter.
00:21:52.880 As a 24 year old man, I was not alive to see Jimmy Carter in action.
00:21:58.360 But I can't imagine that it was worse than this.
00:22:01.000 And people that I know, including Roger, I've asked, you know, what do you think?
00:22:04.400 I mean, and the truth is, they tell me that President Joe Biden makes Jimmy Carter look like a saint, essentially.
00:22:13.180 And that's how bad President Joe Biden is.
00:22:15.860 And I think it's important.
00:22:16.880 You know, we have so many questions about the 2020 election, and I would look at every Biden policy failure, whether it be Afghanistan, whether it be in Panama, whether it be in the Pacific, at every Biden policy failure, China is there to swoop in and to do damage control and to kind of take over the influence that America and Joe Biden are leaving behind.
00:22:40.600 When it comes to Afghanistan, China was in our Kabul airport, our multi-billion dollar airport, within hours after Joe Biden had his botched withdrawal, in which 13 U.S. service members were brutally killed by a suicide bomber who also killed several hundred Afghani civilians.
00:23:00.120 It's important to point out that China, within hours, is accessing our military equipment.
00:23:07.000 And all of a sudden, China, who's allied with Iran, who, by the way, Iran has skyrocketed under Biden's leadership with the U.N. and with the United States sanctions.
00:23:18.920 He's lifted those sanctions that President Trump was using to strangle the Iranian regime and to make them weaker.
00:23:25.760 President Joe Biden lifted those sanctions and his people encouraged Iran sanctions to be lifted at the U.N. level as well.
00:23:34.160 So under President Joe Biden, Iran has become the number one oil exporter to China.
00:23:39.800 So China is now getting their energy from Iran.
00:23:42.100 And of course, Iran is giving carte blanche to do whatever they want in the Middle East.
00:23:46.900 And thanks to Joe Biden leaving behind hundreds of billions of dollars in military equipment in Afghanistan, Iran is now armed to the teeth with some of the highest tech, highest quality military equipment in the United States.
00:24:01.440 And it's in the world, I should say, from the United States.
00:24:04.740 And it's going to be a problem for everybody, not only in the region, but in the world, that this terrorist regime in Iran has their hands on some of the most capable weapons available.
00:24:16.960 And that's because of Joe Biden.
00:24:19.440 So my question to Americans, especially anybody who claims to support Israel or anybody that's Jewish even, what are you still doing supporting Joe Biden?
00:24:31.640 Do you realize that Joe Biden has created Iran?
00:24:35.480 And going back to the Obama administration with the Iran deal, Biden was involved with that as well.
00:24:41.340 John Kerry, who is, I don't think he's still an administration official, but he was the climate czar for most of the Biden administration.
00:24:48.700 So the same people who gave Iran billions of dollars in 2015 with the Iran deal, created the environment in which they could develop nuclear weapons,
00:24:58.280 also handed them all of our Afghanistan equipment, are also pushing back, you know, the idea, folks, that President Joe Biden has handled anything across the world smoothly, whether it be Ukraine, whether it be Afghanistan, whether it be China, all these things are failing.
00:25:16.480 There's no point of strength for America right now.
00:25:19.500 And it's put us in a very dangerous position.
00:25:21.700 I just saw over the weekend, we had a woman arrested in the Caribbean, an American woman.
00:25:28.240 And we were talking, I was talking about it with my family.
00:25:31.040 I said that woman better be ready for an extended stay because the Biden administration is so, there's such a lack of respect around the world that we can't even expect to get our hostages back.
00:25:42.360 I mean, Hamas still has American hostages.
00:25:45.380 You have Joe Biden and his military building a dock for Gaza so they could ship in aid, food aid, while there's still Americans being held hostage.
00:25:58.040 And they go into Congress, and I've seen the tapes where Matt Gaetz goes, you know, guys, you have boots on the ground building docks in Gaza, and you're firing into Gaza.
00:26:09.660 You know, you're exchanging fire with people.
00:26:11.760 What exactly is going on here?
00:26:13.460 I mean, are you guys, are you seriously telling us you don't have boots on the ground?
00:26:18.600 And the answer, of course, is no, we don't have boots on the ground.
00:26:22.320 So there needs to be prosecutions.
00:26:24.780 And if there is a legitimate criticism, there is a legitimate criticism, I think, of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
00:26:32.340 I think the most legitimate criticism is that all of these things have gone unchecked.
00:26:37.620 In other words, when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, all we heard about were the powers of the House of Representatives, how they had all this authority, the first branch of government, she would always say.
00:26:50.240 And, you know, throwing her weight around and stopping this and stopping that.
00:26:54.320 And so much of the Trump agenda was stifled by the House of Representatives.
00:26:58.580 And yet, when the Republicans are in charge with Speaker Mike Johnson, we see no victories.
00:27:04.060 We see no stopping the Biden agenda.
00:27:06.080 They're getting their FBI headquarters.
00:27:07.900 They're getting their IRS agents.
00:27:10.120 They're getting the open southern border.
00:27:12.560 They're getting the aid to Ukraine.
00:27:14.960 They're getting more funding for foreign wars across the board.
00:27:18.300 So where exactly are the Republican wins?
00:27:21.180 And how can the Republicans expect to ever hold a majority for more than one election cycle in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, for that matter, when they do nothing to support the people who put them in office and to push the ideas that they believe in?
00:27:36.840 And that's why I think Marjorie Taylor Greene is a perfect example of somebody who gets a lot of the hate, but ultimately she stands with the people on a majority of issues where a lot of Republicans don't.
00:27:48.820 And if she's going to take the heat for that, I think you will eventually see more people like Marjorie Taylor Greene that are bold and they're not going to stand down when the establishment comes knocking.
00:27:59.720 I thought the toppling of Kevin McCarthy was a big piece of that, which, interestingly, Greene was against.
00:28:05.320 So it's interesting how the times change and how things change with time.
00:28:10.940 But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we've kind of run through the politics here, and I'm so excited to bring on my guest.
00:28:17.780 We're going to do that just here in a minute.
00:28:20.160 His name is Mike Van Meter.
00:28:21.880 He's running for Congress in the 11th District of Virginia, and we have a lot to talk about with him.
00:28:27.500 So I'm Troy Smith, filling in for Roger Stone here today on The Stone Zone.
00:28:31.920 I would encourage you to follow us at rumble.com slash Roger Stone, and to also check us out on patriot.tv.
00:28:40.020 You can see us in both of those locations every single day.
00:28:43.020 Again, my name is Troy Smith.
00:28:44.360 When we come back, we'll be with Mike Van Meter, who's running for Congress in Virginia, and rounding out the day here on The Stone Zone.
00:28:51.280 We'll be right back.
00:28:52.000 We'll be right back.
00:29:21.980 These horrible supply chain problems.
00:29:24.640 In our emergency medical kit at the wellness company, we have eight prescription drugs that are all potentially life-saving.
00:29:34.560 Most people have died with COVID.
00:29:36.300 They died in the hospital because they didn't receive early treatment.
00:29:39.760 Every American family should have one of these.
00:29:42.640 I can tell you the wellness company kit is the answer.
00:29:54.300 A lot of people are having great success with a weight management program with Bellatrip, but it's just a tool.
00:30:06.080 In terms of ingredients, Chromex or chromium picolini improves the actions of insulin, so you have better glucose management.
00:30:13.580 In addition, it promotes fatty utilization.
00:30:17.360 Fat fatty utilization or fat burning is also a feature of metabolite, which are two botanicals that stimulate a switch called AMP kinase.
00:30:26.680 And so you tend to burn fat, reduce belly fat or visceral fat.
00:30:31.600 Who doesn't want that?
00:30:33.520 Metamylate has the ability to stimulate satiety or reduce those cravings.
00:30:38.380 That's really very, very important.
00:30:40.500 And it does that by raising GLP-1 levels.
00:30:43.500 In addition, we've addressed the microbiome by using prebiotics.
00:30:48.500 Healthier microbiome, better weight management.
00:31:07.900 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Stone Zone.
00:31:10.580 I hope you're enjoying the show today, as Roger couldn't be with us.
00:31:13.940 So sorry to report that.
00:31:15.020 But he will be back tomorrow.
00:31:17.000 And in the meantime, the Stone Zone moves on.
00:31:19.600 You can catch us here every single weekday, 8 o'clock at rumble.com slash rogerstone.
00:31:26.220 You can also see us on patriot.tv.
00:31:29.020 Now, my guest today is a constitutional conservative Republican seeking election to the House of Representatives in the 11th Congressional District.
00:31:39.140 of Virginia in November of 2024.
00:31:42.500 He's looking to unseat liberal Democrat Jerry Connolly, who has been the incumbent in that district for the past 14 years.
00:31:50.160 Mike is the founder and director of Van Meter Wellness Solutions.
00:31:54.300 With over 30 years of military, corrections, police, and FBI experience, Mike has seen firsthand the devastating effects of addiction on the public, his profession, and himself.
00:32:05.220 He began his professional career in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter pilot serving during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
00:32:11.560 And after eight years of military service, he decided to pursue a career in law enforcement as he worked as a corrections officer in the Charles County Jail in La Plata, Maryland, and then as a police officer in Washington, D.C., rotating shift work and extreme fatigue and chronic stress.
00:32:29.600 In those positions, he's experienced before, and that's why he's headed to Congress.
00:32:34.280 He has extreme levels of experience that I think maybe overqualify him for the House of Representatives.
00:32:40.580 I'm proud to bring him on.
00:32:41.640 Please welcome my guest, Mike Van Meter.
00:32:44.360 Sir, welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:32:46.080 Well, thank you.
00:32:46.940 That's quite the introduction.
00:32:48.400 Thank you.
00:32:48.740 Well, sir, I was, like I said, I wanted to read that bio, and it's a longer bio than we give most people, but you have such a wealth of experience in so many different areas.
00:32:59.940 It led me to kind of question, why did you decide to run for Congress?
00:33:04.700 What was the specific experience that prompted you to get into this race?
00:33:08.360 Well, you know, it's all of the experience, to be honest with you.
00:33:11.080 Now, you spent a lot of time on the addiction portion of it, which is important, right, because you and I both know that the number one cause of death of people between the ages of 18 and 49 is fentanyl.
00:33:24.800 It is fentanyl, and that's an important issue.
00:33:28.040 But it points to a larger issue that we have, and that's the border.
00:33:32.240 Now, President Trump has said he has vowed that on day one he's going to shut the border down and that we're going to start triaging the country, and we're going to start the biggest deportation program the world has ever seen, and that needs to happen.
00:33:45.920 And for you liberals out there, I don't want you to panic because I'll – if you want, I'll go through and describe what that means and why that's important to you and why that's something that you will need.
00:33:54.100 Okay, so that's going to be the first thing that we need to do because fentanyl, you mark my words, you mark my words, fentanyl will destroy the United States if we do not get a handle of it.
00:34:05.280 I work in a detox unit right now.
00:34:07.220 That's my current employment.
00:34:08.500 I work in a major hospital.
00:34:09.620 I work in the detox unit.
00:34:10.800 We are the equivalent of the emergency room for addiction, and it is horrific.
00:34:15.760 As bad as you know that fentanyl is, and I don't think there's anybody in the country that doesn't realize how bad it is, it is actually much worse than what people realize.
00:34:23.960 Now, having said that, along with this, and this goes into why I decided to run for Congress, you mentioned that I'm a retired FBI agent.
00:34:32.060 I am.
00:34:32.560 I spent just under 21 years in the FBI.
00:34:35.100 I retired in 2019, and I saw the decline of the FBI.
00:34:39.800 I saw the politicization of the FBI, and it's a problem, and it needs to be addressed.
00:34:45.700 And it's not just the FBI.
00:34:46.920 It's over into the other federal agencies, even into the DOD.
00:34:50.020 And we have to have people in Congress that understand this.
00:34:54.740 And the Trump administration, any president, but the next one, let's be honest, is going to be Donald J. Trump.
00:35:00.220 Donald J. Trump needs to be surrounded by people both in the administration, in Congress, throughout, that understand these organizations and can deal with them and can clean them up.
00:35:13.560 You know, one of the great things, what made me a true believer in Donald Trump and his presidency was the fact that he fired James Comey.
00:35:22.120 James Comey needed to be fired.
00:35:24.100 Many of the agents like myself knew that.
00:35:26.340 And I want to be very clear.
00:35:28.020 There are patriots.
00:35:29.040 There are patriots in the FBI, okay?
00:35:32.080 The problem is the leadership.
00:35:33.460 It is not your rank-and-file agent.
00:35:35.760 Although, with the politicization, there's been problems there.
00:35:39.020 Now, that needs to be cleaned up.
00:35:41.440 And I think what happened with the president was he – I think he thought that by getting rid of James Comey, that would solve the problem.
00:35:47.680 But what he didn't realize is that it was years and years of people coming into the organization and promoting up through the organization.
00:35:57.340 And I have a podcast called The Mike Van Meter Show where we go into great detail talking about the promotional system and the intricacies and the internal workings of the FBI and how that happened.
00:36:07.380 Because, you know, we look at Comey.
00:36:09.440 We realize that Comey was a problem.
00:36:11.460 But the problem actually preceded Comey, and it was Robert Mueller because I was a pre-9-11 agent.
00:36:18.440 Louis Freeh was director when I came in.
00:36:20.240 Then Mueller came in after 9-11.
00:36:22.280 And then we had 12 years of Mueller.
00:36:24.980 Agents, we used to refer to that as the reign of terror, actually.
00:36:28.560 But it was those 12 years, really, of people being promoted up through the system and getting to the ranks where they could really do a lot of damage.
00:36:40.540 And Comey was really just a continuation of that.
00:36:43.060 And there's a lot of deep rooting.
00:36:44.900 There's a lot of restructuring that needs to be done.
00:36:48.240 There's a lot of work to be done.
00:36:49.320 But the president will need to have people in – around him that understand the organization because, you know, people can say that they understand the FBI.
00:36:59.260 Unless you are in the FBI, you do not understand the FBI.
00:37:02.680 You're going to have to have people around the president in order to do that.
00:37:07.040 And I just pray that Donald Trump does that.
00:37:09.540 And, you know, that's really where it comes down to.
00:37:13.060 Now, I was very, very critical of the FBI.
00:37:15.720 Some of the things that I saw when I was in the FBI, you know, the whistleblowers that you've seen recently, and they're great, and those are great patriots, and they've done it.
00:37:23.380 But they saw – they were – most of them were not even in the FBI that long.
00:37:26.720 I was there over 20 years, and I saw a lot more than they did.
00:37:32.140 And we need to have people in office that can fix it.
00:37:35.920 And that was one of the prime reasons that I wanted to run, along with the fact that addiction, that's a major part of my life now, working on addiction, mental health.
00:37:45.000 I know that that's something that is very, very important to the president, and it's something that's near and dear to him, even in his own family, with his brother passing away from alcoholism.
00:37:54.340 And we – you know, we are – people always look at the Democrats as being the compassionate party.
00:37:59.680 They're not.
00:38:00.300 We are the compassionate party.
00:38:01.860 I mean, after all, where do I work every day?
00:38:03.920 In a hospital.
00:38:04.620 My opponent doesn't work.
00:38:05.820 I've never seen him at the hospital.
00:38:07.040 I mean, he doesn't – he's helped create problems and pass laws that have made our country less safe, has increased addiction and mental health, not decreased it.
00:38:19.040 And there's not one policy – not one, not one policy that he has contributed to – Jerry Connolly, I'm talking about, my opponent – that has led to the betterment of the United States.
00:38:28.660 Not one.
00:38:29.360 Nor has this president done anything to increase the betterment of the United States, a lot of damage.
00:38:36.140 And I would say on top of that – and, you know, I appreciate you giving your experience with the FBI and especially Robert Mueller because of where we are right now on the Stone Zone.
00:38:45.660 We know that Roger – you know, I've written about this extensively.
00:38:49.360 Roger was put through the ringer for process crimes, and the whole time the Mueller team is leaking out lies to the mainstream media who is taking that and putting a spin on it.
00:38:58.760 And I wanted to ask you about the centerpiece of Crossfire Hurricane, which is the FISA warrants that were put on President Trump and things of that issue.
00:39:06.860 We just saw FISA renewed.
00:39:08.460 As a member of the House, would you have been a vocal critic of renewing the FISA capabilities?
00:39:14.400 Yeah, I would be.
00:39:15.600 I would be.
00:39:16.660 And, you know, and again, I know that politicians throw this out, FISA, and, you know, your average person in the public doesn't even know what FISA is or how it works.
00:39:25.120 Let me – okay.
00:39:28.480 Let me break this down.
00:39:30.280 Let me break this down.
00:39:32.100 The intent of FISA originally after 9-11 when we started using those things – because most agents had never even heard of FISA, you know, prior to 9-11.
00:39:41.940 And the intent, I believe, made sense at the time, okay?
00:39:46.960 Made sense.
00:39:48.460 But here's the problem that you have with the FBI, and people have to understand this.
00:39:53.520 People – because I don't think people really understand what the FBI is and what its role is.
00:39:58.900 The FBI wears two hats.
00:40:01.220 There's a criminal side, and there's a counterintelligence side, okay?
00:40:06.020 And in that – now, what's happening on the criminal side?
00:40:09.500 That's basically your federal police, right?
00:40:12.100 Just like police detectives.
00:40:13.840 You go out.
00:40:14.480 A crime's committed.
00:40:16.300 You believe that – you collect the evidence.
00:40:18.580 You develop probable cause for a warrant.
00:40:21.300 You get a warrant.
00:40:22.300 You go out.
00:40:22.900 You arrest people.
00:40:24.380 You have to present that evidence in court, and then we get into the court process where it's combative, and we want that.
00:40:30.480 We want that in our system.
00:40:31.360 That's a criminal side.
00:40:32.300 But the FBI wears another hat too, and that's counterintelligence.
00:40:35.100 Well, what is that?
00:40:35.800 Those are your spy catchers.
00:40:37.960 Those are the people that go out and look for intelligence agents.
00:40:41.420 The CIA does work overseas, and then the domestic work is done here by the FBI.
00:40:48.160 And the purpose of a counterintelligence case is to track spies, monitor them on occasion, very rare occasion, arrest them.
00:40:56.680 But we're using that for another purpose.
00:40:58.400 We will want to flip them against whatever country they're coming from.
00:41:02.140 You won't do that.
00:41:02.720 But it's spy work, very spy work.
00:41:06.020 And then where FISA comes in is that you have – this is intelligence gathering.
00:41:13.240 These are wiretaps.
00:41:14.360 This is surveillance.
00:41:14.980 These are techniques.
00:41:15.740 We call them sophisticated investigative techniques that are used for very specific purposes.
00:41:22.220 Namely, we're looking for people, overseas actors that are coming here and doing harm to us, right?
00:41:29.200 But because it's designed for non-U.S. citizens and people that have come here to harm us, it's done in secret.
00:41:38.660 There is no combative process in the legal process, and it's very specific to that type of work.
00:41:44.740 But what you've had, what you've had happen over the years is – this is a problem.
00:41:48.880 And it's not a simple problem to fix, but it's something that the next administration will have to address so things like what happened to Roger Stone and others and a lot of other people will not happen again.
00:41:59.080 And that is this, and I want to note – I want to point out that all the agents that were involved, Andy McKay, Peter Strzok, all of those people, those were counterintelligence agents.
00:42:08.960 I was a criminal agent.
00:42:11.280 It's really two tracks in the FBI.
00:42:13.080 And what they started doing is they started commingling counterintelligence cases with criminal cases, and they were doing things – really starting criminal investigations but using counterintelligence techniques in order to do that.
00:42:31.720 And here's the problem that you have.
00:42:33.660 Okay, let's just take a criminal case, and I'm sorry to go through this long explanation, but I think it's important that people understand this.
00:42:39.740 In a criminal case, what happens is a crime is committed.
00:42:44.520 A crime is committed.
00:42:45.880 Then with that crime, it's just like if you were to call the police department.
00:42:49.460 A crime has been committed, and the police come, and they start to develop evidence.
00:42:54.380 And in that evidence, they start building a case, and then they have to go to a judge if they want to get a search warrant, save your house, or if they want an arrest warrant of you.
00:43:04.040 You have to present that evidence in court, and then you have to satisfy the requirements of a judge.
00:43:11.860 You may have to go before a grand jury.
00:43:13.700 And then ultimately later when you're in trial, if it gets to that point, then you are cross-examined.
00:43:17.880 You're challenged.
00:43:18.820 And so cases are built based upon that.
00:43:21.860 And when you're building a case as an FBI agent or a detective, you're always asking yourself, how is this going to hold up in court?
00:43:30.300 Where can – am I sure about this?
00:43:33.420 Are there holes in this?
00:43:35.020 Or is there any evidence that maybe you, Troy, did not commit this crime?
00:43:40.280 By the way, we have an obligation, an obligation that if I initially think that you committed a crime and then later evidence proves that you did not commit that crime, I have an obligation then to let the judge know that as well.
00:43:56.620 Now, juxtapose that over into a counterintelligence case.
00:44:00.480 That's not how that works.
00:44:01.920 The way that it works there is in a counterintelligence case, you might say something like, hey, you know this could happen.
00:44:08.820 It hasn't happened yet, but it could happen.
00:44:12.560 You know what?
00:44:13.420 And a guy like Troy is the kind of guy that could do that.
00:44:17.860 And if he does that, then this particular incident or occurrence may occur over here.
00:44:25.820 And you don't have to prove it.
00:44:27.680 You just have to surmise it.
00:44:29.020 And in the intelligence business, you do that quite a bit because you're always trying to get ahead of things.
00:44:33.440 You're always trying to get ahead of things.
00:44:34.480 And the problem with that is that with Roger Stone and others, that those principles were then applied to American citizens.
00:44:43.960 Remember, you have constitutional rights.
00:44:45.900 You have rights.
00:44:47.120 And the problem is that that was used against American citizens, but they were never really proving crimes.
00:44:54.280 Like, for example, with Donald Trump, it was, hey, you know what?
00:44:58.300 He's a bad guy.
00:44:59.720 That's what the Democrats told us.
00:45:00.940 He's a bad guy.
00:45:01.560 He's an evil guy.
00:45:02.060 Hey, you know what?
00:45:02.560 He's a businessman, and he does business in Russia, and he does business in China.
00:45:07.220 So that must mean that a bad guy doing business in China could do this over here.
00:45:12.840 And they started down this path to try to prove, instead of having a crime – in fact, crimes were never alleged – we're going to build against him.
00:45:24.900 But the problem there was when the FBI started getting evidence that proved definitively that he did not do these things or that there were people that were not involved in this, and they came across that evidence.
00:45:39.160 They started changing the evidence to make it fit the narrative, if that makes sense.
00:45:44.880 Absolutely, Mike, and I think you are making the perfect case right now of why you need to be in Congress and why you need to be a representative for the people because we need this expertise and common sense so that we don't have Republicans kind of bending over at the will of the establishment.
00:46:00.000 Mike, we're going to go to a quick commercial break, and when we come back, I want you to tell me a little bit more about your opponent and where people can find your information to help you get through to the finish line here, folks.
00:46:09.160 We have to do our crash commercial breaks just to keep the lights on.
00:46:12.420 So don't go anywhere.
00:46:13.480 We'll be right back with Mike Van Meter right after this break.
00:46:30.160 I'm Allie.
00:46:31.840 I'm Demi.
00:46:34.360 I'm Brianna.
00:46:36.520 I'm Michelle.
00:46:39.160 How is this going to work for me personally versus, okay, this is how it would help Tanya, or like these are symptoms that she was experiencing.
00:46:50.220 Yeah, but yeah, we synced up and, you know.
00:46:53.960 I look at people like Brianna and Alana, you know, you're still probably wanting to have children, you know.
00:46:59.980 Yeah.
00:47:00.160 The world is about to shift.
00:47:24.900 Banks are going cashless globally with the emergence of central bank digital currency, which will bring with it programmable money and the ability to turn on or off your purchasing power based on your digital social profile.
00:47:38.400 It's like the equivalent of spyware in your bank account.
00:47:41.680 You need to get out of the system with the world's safest and most private assets, silver and gold.
00:47:47.200 Call Kirk Elliott, Ph.D. at 877-547-5743.
00:47:52.060 That's 877-Kirk-PhD.
00:47:54.200 Ladies and gentlemen, happy to be back here in the Stone Zone.
00:48:09.840 I'm Troy Smith, the editor and founder of Slingshot.News, here with my guest, candidate for Congress in the 11th District of Virginia, Mike Van Meter.
00:48:18.060 Now, Mike, you are running against one of really the worst Democrats in the House of Representatives that works lockstep with Akeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer.
00:48:28.040 Tell us about what Mr. Connolly has done to destroy the United States.
00:48:32.720 Oh, my gosh.
00:48:33.340 Where to begin?
00:48:34.520 Basically everything.
00:48:36.500 This man needs to go.
00:48:37.960 And I got to tell you, that's universal amongst the Democrats, even Democrats that I talk to.
00:48:45.100 Nobody likes this guy.
00:48:46.220 He's not a likable human being.
00:48:48.940 And he's just despicable and he lies.
00:48:51.480 And before I get to some of the things that he's done, I just want to point out something that he did here – a couple of things that he did here recently just to show that he cannot be trusted in how he's despicable and he just needs to go.
00:49:02.360 So he has a – here in Virginia, we're in the primaries, and June 18th is the final day of voting.
00:49:10.540 And he has an opponent, a guy named Asim Nassar.
00:49:13.740 And recently, Jerry put out a notice that we – he accused us of colluding with Asim Nassar's campaign to take him out of Congress and to get Nassar to win the campaign.
00:49:26.600 That's what Jerry's campaign said, and it's absolutely a lie.
00:49:31.880 Even Asim's campaign put that and said, look, this guy's lying about that.
00:49:36.100 And when you have something that is that blatant, that blatant, how do you trust anything else that the guy says?
00:49:42.700 And another thing that he said recently was he accused us of collaborating with Nazis to get into office.
00:49:49.880 And I've got to tell you, Troy, as a veteran, as somebody – that I've spent my entire adult life – I've taken the oath to this nation five times over and served in uniform.
00:50:01.900 I cannot tell you how offensive that is.
00:50:05.120 And Jerry Connolly has never served in uniform, would never serve this nation in uniform.
00:50:09.240 And there were actual Nazis on planet Earth, as you know.
00:50:13.440 And people like me, people in uniform went and put a stop to that, okay?
00:50:17.820 And if this was the 1940s, I would have done what I did in the 1980s and gone into the military and done that.
00:50:24.800 And that is shameful.
00:50:25.800 That is despicable.
00:50:27.120 And I will call him out every single time I see him about that because it is shame – it is despicable for every veteran.
00:50:35.260 Every veteran should be upset.
00:50:36.780 And there are people in the 11th District of Virginia that are survivors of the Holocaust, and it demeans their experience.
00:50:43.140 So he's a coward.
00:50:44.160 Jerry Connolly is a coward, and he will not face me on this.
00:50:47.560 Now, when it comes to the things that he's doing to hurt the United States, he's been in Congress for 14 years.
00:50:53.140 He held political office before that, but he's been in Congress for 14 years.
00:50:56.780 And he has – you take every left-wing, radical, socialist, Marxist stance that you can imagine, and he was behind it.
00:51:05.420 But the biggies recently – the biggies recently, and I want this – I want people to reflect on this.
00:51:13.460 Is there any question that we have millions, maybe upwards of 20 million?
00:51:18.120 We really don't know the exact number of people that are pouring into this country.
00:51:22.400 Are there people that want a better life?
00:51:24.260 Sure.
00:51:25.360 Is that everybody?
00:51:26.580 Absolutely not.
00:51:27.560 We have terrorists.
00:51:28.480 We have gang members.
00:51:29.320 We have drug dealers.
00:51:30.160 We have human traffickers.
00:51:31.440 The list goes on and on and on.
00:51:33.340 Trust me.
00:51:34.100 We do not want every single person that comes across the border to be here.
00:51:38.620 We do not.
00:51:39.880 I'm a police officer, former police officer, retired FBI agent.
00:51:43.380 I can tell you.
00:51:44.160 I know exactly what's coming across the border, and you do not want that here.
00:51:48.300 It's interesting that the crime rate in Venezuela has gone down.
00:51:51.340 Ours has gone up.
00:51:52.040 That's not by accident, and what's happened to Israel, trust me, it's just a matter of time before it happens here.
00:51:59.420 Now, the reason why I say that is Jerry Connolly will not secure the border.
00:52:04.220 Jerry Connolly will not deport anyone that is here, to include – recently he voted against a bill that was – the purpose of the bill was to deport any illegal alien that committed a violent felony.
00:52:20.640 And this was in reaction to Lake and Riley down in Georgia.
00:52:24.440 That's what prompted this bill, and he voted against it.
00:52:27.640 I mean, what else do you need to know about this guy?
00:52:30.280 Fentanyl.
00:52:30.780 I talked about fentanyl coming across our borders.
00:52:34.860 And the – other than just the human tragedy, there's also a national security aspect to fentanyl because I mentioned the age groups that this is killing.
00:52:44.520 Well, that happens to be our military age.
00:52:46.440 Do you think this was by accident?
00:52:47.920 I don't.
00:52:48.500 And so this guy, Jerry Connolly, has the gall to recently be on the floor of the House and talk about computer security, and he talks about the importance of national security.
00:53:00.040 But yet he won't do what he needs to do to make this nation safe.
00:53:05.680 And I tell you, Troy, I believe that the number one purpose, the number one purpose of this government or any government on earth is the protection and the security of their people.
00:53:18.320 And that's Congress.
00:53:19.620 If Congress cannot ensure the safety and security of the American people first and foremost before it does anything else, then it's really worthless as far as I'm concerned.
00:53:29.000 Absolutely worthless.
00:53:29.820 And he votes against security every single time he gets a chance to do that.
00:53:35.020 Absolutely, Mike.
00:53:36.000 And he's one of the most despicable members of Congress.
00:53:38.340 I can't tell you how much the people of the Stone Zone here support you and your run to unseat this scoundrel, really, from Congress because that's what he is.
00:53:47.040 And I understand – people need to understand at home.
00:53:49.780 Congress is not a cheap endeavor.
00:53:52.080 Running for the House of Representatives is getting more expensive by the year.
00:53:55.660 And that's why we want to encourage people to go to your website.
00:53:58.000 We have a graphic I want to put up, vanmeterforvirginia.com, is where you can go support Mike Van Meter in his attempt to oust the radical Pelosi Democrat, Jerry Conley.
00:54:09.480 Again, that's vanmeterforvirginia.
00:54:12.020 Mike Van Meter was our guest today on the Stone Zone.
00:54:15.160 Sir, I got to say, I am so impressed with you and your experience and your knowledge.
00:54:20.180 And I think you could be one of the most eloquent defenders of President Trump in the House.
00:54:25.420 And I know that you have my support and Roger's as well here on the Stone Zone.
00:54:29.220 Absolutely.
00:54:30.020 Hey, Troy, thank you so much.
00:54:31.320 Tell Roger I said hello and looking forward to talking with you guys soon.
00:54:34.520 Thank you so much for your support.

00:54:36.980 Absolutely.

00:54:39.260 Again, you can go to vanmeterforvirginia.com to support his effort to unseat Jerry Conley, really a terrible, terrible Democrat.
00:54:46.320 And removing him would be a huge blow to the Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries element in the House of Representatives.
