00:01:51.240 stone zone do you remember cassidy hutchinson i don't blame you if you don't but cassidy
00:01:56.340 Hutchinson was one of the star witnesses for the January 6th committee, a farce in which Nancy
00:02:02.640 Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, appointed a committee with no Trump-supporting Republicans
00:02:08.300 in an effort to frame Donald Trump regarding January 6th. Cassidy Hutchinson specifically
00:02:14.040 said in her sworn testimony that the White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, that was her boss,
00:02:19.640 ordered her to call Roger Stone and General Michael Flynn on January 5th to find out what
00:02:26.560 was going to happen on January 6th. There was only one tiny problem. There never was any such phone
00:02:32.620 call. The truth is, I don't think I've ever communicated with Mark Meadows. I may have met
00:02:37.260 him once in the green room at Fox back when he was a congressman and before Donald Trump was
00:02:42.160 president. But I didn't communicate him on that day or any other day. I checked with General Flynn
00:02:47.100 and he didn't either. So that testimony, which was riveting on public television,
00:02:52.940 was a complete and total lie. It was perjury, false statements, false statements to Congress,
00:02:58.980 what they specifically falsely accused me of. She also went on to say that Meadows had intended
00:03:05.400 to attend a meeting in a war room at the Willard Hotel on the evening of January 5th,
00:03:13.340 that she had dissuaded Meadows from going there.
00:03:17.320 Those allegedly there included Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and others,
00:03:22.860 and that she persuaded Meadows to call, once again, Roger Stone and General Flynn
00:03:28.660 to get a download on how the meeting had gone.
00:03:31.380 Well, first of all, if there was any such war room at the Willard Hotel
00:03:35.400 on the eve of January 6th, I don't know about it, and I certainly was never in one.
00:03:40.280 Plus, I don't think I'd be in the same room with Steve Bannon, in all honesty.
00:03:43.900 And then secondarily, there was no such call to ask her.
00:03:46.840 So those are two material lies designed to hook General Flynn and I into the January 6th conspiracy.
00:03:53.980 Now, what's incredible, and she also went on to tell us a tall tale about Donald Trump in his limousine,
00:04:00.140 in the back seat, but trying to grab the steering wheel and get control of it from a Secret Service agent
00:04:04.760 when they refused to take him to the Capitol.
00:04:08.280 That has been completely and totally debunked as well.
00:04:11.240 Interestingly enough, Hutchinson went back, which you can do,
00:04:14.180 and she altered her sworn testimony several times in an effort to avoid a perjury indictment.
00:04:21.720 But it turns out she didn't need to be too worried because this all took place in D.C.
00:04:25.060 A grand jury has now declined to indict former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson
00:04:30.300 on her testimony about President Trump's alleged conduct during the January 6th riots of Capitol Hill in 2021.
00:04:36.840 The Justice Department sought to prosecute Hutchinson for reasons that have not been made clear due to the confidentiality of the case.
00:04:44.000 But President Trump and I, among others, have previously accused her of lying under oath during a testimony about January 6th before the House Committee.
00:04:52.100 I just specified very specifically the lies you told about me and General Flynn.
00:04:56.640 Now, sources close to the case confirm to the Associated Press that the grand jury in D.C. has declined to prosecute while providing very few details.
00:05:05.760 A grand jury in Washington, D.C. has rejected the prosecutor's request to return an indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson, said the people who spoke to the Associated Press on a condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the case.
00:05:19.780 Details of prosecutors' allegations against Hutchinson were not immediately clear, but Republican lawmakers have accused her about lying under oath in her explosive testimony in 2022 about the president's specific behavior.
00:05:31.780 You'll remember this. She described an angry, defiant president who was trying to let armed protesters avoid security screens at a rally that morning to protest his 2020 election defeat, and who later grabbed at the steering wheel the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to let him go to Capitol Hill.
00:05:49.880 And when the events at the Capitol spiraled towards violence, with the crowd chanting, hang Mike Pence, she testified that Trump declined to intervene.
00:05:59.120 Hutchinson, as I say, did admit during testimony that she was only relaying information she had obtained from a House security official, White House security official, emphasizing these were not her personal eyewitnesses.
00:06:10.820 So in other words, it was what they call hearsay.
00:06:14.000 All of her testimony was hearsay.
00:06:15.440 In the case of her charges against me and General Flynn, they were completely fabricated, I suspect, by Liz Cheney, who coached her through those false statements.
00:06:24.660 President Trump has called Cassidy Hutchinson a total phony and bad news, denying her allegations.
00:06:29.660 Back in 2024, House Republicans also released a transcript of the January 6th committee's interview with the Secret Service officer who drove the presidential SUV that day, which contradicted most of Hutchinson's claims.
00:06:43.200 While the driver did say President Trump was insistent about going to the Capitol during the riot, he rejected any claim that the president tried to grab the steering wheel.
00:06:51.820 I didn't see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all, the driver said.
00:06:56.820 Now, according to Fox News, the federal grand jury had heard evidence concerning possible false statements Hutchinson made to the Congressional Committee.
00:07:04.520 The grand jury's decision not to indict Hutchinson does not establish whether her congressional testimony was truthful or false.
00:07:10.640 Hutchinson has previously maintained that she stands by her testimony, it added.
00:07:14.820 Now, I'm a big fan of the Justice Department's actions so far against James Comey, John Brennan, Eric Swallow, and others.
00:07:20.700 But I think, in all honesty, in this case, they got it wrong. 0.64
00:07:24.900 The evidence against Katzi Hux is real, and she was an important tool of those waging lawfare on President Trump following the events of January 6th.
00:07:33.160 Her lies were used to build a false narrative in Congress and in the media.
00:07:37.480 Among her most outrageous claims, repeated as a fact by media outlets that never bought the check, was her testimony under questioning by Liz Cheney.
00:07:44.680 that President Trump instructed, as I say, Mark Meadows, to call me and General Flynn on the
00:07:49.760 evening of January 5th to find out what was going to happen on January 6th. That was her impression,
00:07:55.020 she said, that those calls were completed. Here's the actual change from January 28th.
00:07:59.440 That's changing. So the night before January 6th, President Trump instructed Chief of Staff Mark
00:08:03.840 Meadows to contact both Roger Stone and Michael Flynn regarding what would play out the next day.
00:08:09.260 Ms. Hutchison, is it your understanding that President Trump asked Mark Meadows to speak
00:08:13.660 with Roger Stone and General Flynn on January 5th. Hutchinson says, that's correct. That's my
00:08:18.980 understanding. Now, Liz Cheney says, and Ms. Hutchinson, is it your understanding that Mr.
00:08:24.080 Meadows called Mr. Stone on the 5th? Hutchinson said, I'm under the impression that Mr. Meadows
00:08:29.480 did complete both a call to Mr. Stone and General Flynn on the evening of January 5th.
00:08:35.520 Do you know what they talked about that evening? Cheney asks Hutchinson. Hutchinson says, I'm not
00:08:41.200 sure. This is a lie. There never were any such calls. There are no phone records to support the
00:08:47.920 claim. Neither General Flynn or I have ever spoken or communicated, as I say, with Meadows.
00:08:52.780 As I said, I think I met him once back when he was a congressman. That's the fullest extent of
00:08:56.780 our contact. General Flynn has confirmed to me that he's never had any phone conversation
00:09:00.860 with Meadows either. So there was no call on January 5th, no coordination, and no discussion
00:09:06.160 what would happen the next day. A secondary claim about the so-called war room at the Willard Hotel
00:09:11.180 hotel to get this exactly right cheney says is your understanding that mr giuliani mr eastman
00:09:17.380 that's john eastman the attorney who i've never met and others have set up what would be called
00:09:21.780 a war room in the willard hotel on the night of the fifth hutcheson says i was aware of that
00:09:27.220 the night of the fifth now cheney says how do you know if mr meadows ever attended to go
00:09:32.720 to the willard hotel on the night of the fifth and hutcheson says mr meadows had a conversation
00:09:38.420 with me that he wanted to work with Secret Service on a movement from the White House to the Willard
00:09:42.560 Hotel so he could attend a meeting or meetings with Mr. Giuliani and his associates in the war
00:09:48.060 room. Now Cheney says, and what was your view as to whether Mr. Meadows should go to the Willard
00:09:53.380 that night? Hutchison says, I made it clear to Mr. Meadows that I didn't believe it was a smart
00:09:57.860 idea for him to go to the Willard Hotel that night. I wasn't sure that everything was going
00:10:01.380 on in the Willard Hotel, although I knew enough about Mr. Giuliani's associates were pushing
00:10:05.460 towards this period. I assume she's referring to an effort to delay the certification of the
00:10:10.960 election. But then again, I wouldn't know because I wasn't in any war room. I don't think it was
00:10:15.300 something appropriate for the White House Chief of Staff to attend or to consider involvement in
00:10:19.400 and made that clear to Mr. Meadows. This is Hutchinson speaking. So throughout the afternoon,
00:10:24.240 he mentioned a few more times going to the Woodward Hotel that evening, and eventually he
00:10:27.660 dropped the subject the night of the 5th and said that he would just dial in instead. She then
00:10:32.480 claims she's talked meadows out of attending them in person and he later got a briefing from stone
00:10:37.000 and flynn there's her second big lie regarding me there is no such telephonic briefing how could
00:10:42.040 i brief somebody about a meeting i was never in i'm never aware of a war room uh it's interesting
00:10:48.120 that the washington post later confirms that among those who were in a war room they cannot
00:10:53.020 confirm my attendance because frankly i wasn't there i gave a speech on the night of the fifth
00:10:58.680 I would urge you to go look at it on YouTube because I specifically called on those in Washington to avoid being baited into violence.
00:11:06.440 But strangely, YouTube took that down.
00:11:09.700 So I think this is outrageous.
00:11:12.120 It's perfectly clear that Cassidy Hutchison lied under coaching by Liz Cheney and lied about the president's conduct on the January 6th.
00:11:22.660 She has avoided indictment.
00:11:24.680 indictment. This proves to us, again, that we have a two-tiered justice system. 0.66

00:12:44.320 In the meantime, I thought it was a brilliant idea President Donald Trump announced that anyone who reports voter fraud, whether from past elections or the upcoming November 3rd elections, will receive $1 million if the tip leads to an arrest and a conviction.
00:13:00.900 The statement came one week after Election Day amid stepped-up federal efforts to obtain state voter registration data and examine potentially ineligible voters.
00:13:10.720 A number of big blue states still continue to hand over their voter lists to the Department of Justice so that they may be matched against the list of known illegal immigrants.
00:13:20.000 President Trump said the award applies to both historical and current cases.
00:13:24.120 Some Democrat state election officials have warned that the announcement could generate unsubstantiated claims and complicate local administration.
00:13:32.100 But that sounds like just another smokescreen meant to keep the fraud under wraps that they rely upon to win their elections.
00:13:39.620 The offer places a concrete financial incentive on producing prosecutable evidence rather than anonymous social media accusations.
00:13:48.400 Federal investigators have already charged dozens of non-citizens in multiple states for illegal voting or false citizenship claims in recent election cycles.
00:13:58.000 While the million-dollar figure is paid from personal funds, a designated program or some other mechanism has not been detailed.
00:14:05.340 So the announcement itself signals the administration tends to treat documented illegal voting as a priority that carries real consequences for those who are convicted.
00:14:15.320 Democrats' rigging apparatus has shown itself almost despicably in 2020, is getting shut down, and they know it.
00:14:21.920 Any Democrat fraudsters who are considering any changes next week may take Trump's offer as a deterrent.
00:14:28.400 Meanwhile, the FBI has searched Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire donor Eric Swalwell.
00:14:34.100 remember him he was the guy who accused me of being a russian agent for almost two and a half
00:14:40.020 years as a member of the house intelligence committee the uh ultimately he was forced out
00:14:45.160 of a race for governor of california after uh accusations of sexual assault uh and harassment
00:14:51.700 swallow you may recall was also connected to a chinese communist spy named fang fang that he 0.94
00:14:59.380 was having a sexual relationship with i would say that he penetrated fang fang and fang fang 0.83
00:15:04.580 penetrated his office putting two employees into the congressman's office significant because eric 0.97
00:15:10.740 swalwell was a member of the house intelligence committee where he was entitled to all of the
00:15:16.420 classified documents uh we now know that swalwell spent time at this property before leaving congress
00:15:22.580 The FBI confirmed the operation in which they raided this home in D.C.
00:15:28.940 is connected to a current probe of Swalwell's activities.
00:15:34.100 It is clear that he is finished politically.
00:15:36.920 What I don't understand is when he left Congress and decided to run for governor,
00:15:41.260 it looked like he began taking style tips from Steve Bannon.
00:15:43.960 In other words, he stopped bathing, he stopped shaving, he stopped washing his hair.
00:15:47.880 I guess there are some who can think that the wino-sheep look has some constituency within the Democrat primary, but Swalwell ended up dropping out of the race over questions of his legality as a candidate, didn't really have a home in California, as well as the allegations of sexual assault.
00:16:07.440 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone. Don't go away, because we'll be right back.
00:16:11.600 the stone zone entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network
00:16:19.000 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest
00:16:35.120 political minds rogerson was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant
00:16:39.900 political analyst now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone welcome back into
00:16:48.500 the stone zone you may recall after the first round of the presidential race in brazil when
00:16:54.740 senator flavio bolsonaro son of the former president imprisoned president jair bolsonaro
00:17:01.320 won the first round i predicted uh that president lula a communist would win the second round i
00:17:09.240 I was told by a number of conservatives I was wrong, but that's exactly what happened.
00:17:13.700 It's an old trick.
00:17:14.720 I remember when the Democrats lost the governorship of Connecticut and they figured it out.
00:17:19.720 They got a court to order the polling places in Bridgeport to remain open for an additional three hours while they rounded up enough votes to steal the governorship.
00:17:29.300 Pretty much the same thing happened in Brazil in their election when the government, the Supreme Court,
00:17:36.420 which is headed by President Lula's former personal attorney and a true tyrant named Moraes,
00:17:43.060 ordered the polls in certain precincts opened so that the election could be stolen from the younger Bolsonaro.
00:17:51.240 What's even more shocking is within hours of the election being over,
00:17:56.560 they ordered Flavio Bolsonaro's passport to be revoked,
00:18:00.240 and they set out to arrest him for objecting to the election result.
00:18:05.040 Unfortunately, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are two steps ahead.
00:18:10.000 Senator Flavio Bolsonaro was extracted from Brazil, flown first to Argentina, then from Argentina to Ecuador, and from Ecuador to the United States.
00:18:21.080 The senator landed in Miami after the Brazilian federal police had seized his airport and tried to impose travel restrictions following his narrow runoff defeat.
00:18:31.540 This is an outrage.
00:18:33.000 Of course, Lula is taunting Donald Trump on video, and it's very clear that nothing will be done in this particular instance.
00:18:44.640 There is little question, however, that people need to understand that this arresting of any critic of the Lula government,
00:18:52.460 whether they're intellectuals, whether they're artists, whether they're political figures,
00:18:57.240 or whether there are members of parties other than President Lula.
00:19:01.980 There is no question that Brazil is the most authoritarian regime now in our hemisphere,
00:19:07.820 and it is good to see President Trump's willingness to receive Bolsonaro
00:19:12.020 because it's consistent with his earlier decisions to offer refuge to political figures
00:19:16.620 facing prosecution from left-wing governments.
00:19:20.220 In a tragic case, Flavio's father, Jair, the former president,
00:19:23.520 is already still behind bars under dubious circumstances.
00:19:27.880 President Trump was right to take action and make sure the same cannot be done to his son, in my view.
00:19:32.880 Before long, hopefully, Flavio will be able to make his heroic return to Brazil to liberate his people from the tyranny they are enduring.
00:19:39.700 Lula is an international criminal similar to Nicolas Maduro, and taking intervention to remove him under the DeRoe Doctrine would not be a bad idea.
00:19:49.560 Meanwhile, 175 House Democrats demand a halt to Ilhan Omar's investigation before the midterms.
00:19:55.960 How convenient. Now that we are hitting pay dirt, proving that she lied on the naturalization papers, and the government of Somalia is refusing to cooperate in the investigation, it's very clear that we're on the road to not only expelling her from the Congress, but also shipping her back where she came from. 0.85
00:20:14.740 If you came to the United States illegally, if you lied on your naturalization documents, you should be held responsible.
00:20:22.160 175 House Democrats don't think so.
00:20:24.880 I wonder why.

00:20:44.740 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest
00:20:53.840 political minds roger stone was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant

00:21:07.820 the stone zone a third federal case against former fbi director james comey which was unsolved
00:21:14.760 monday centers once again on evidence that the former fbi director allegedly directed his staff
00:21:21.420 to leak classified information to the press now what's significant is that he testified before
00:21:27.080 congress very specifically and asked that question whether he had ever shared data with a third party
00:21:33.740 and directed them to leak that to the media, and he said no.
00:21:38.220 There is, as we know, the case that was brought in the Eastern District of Virginia,
00:21:43.320 ultimately dismissed, not because it was adjudicated,
00:21:47.040 but because the judges objected to the appointment of the temporary U.S. attorney, Lindsay Halligan.
00:21:55.420 The criminal information filing submitted to the court by prosecutors earlier this month
00:21:59.240 made public this past Monday, contains allegations that Comey communicated or transmitted national
00:22:05.820 defense information to an individual not clear to receive it, in this case a reporter. The new case,
00:22:12.540 filed under seal on October 5th in federal court in Washington, D.C., also includes charges alleging
00:22:18.420 that Comey conspired with others to leak the information. It alleges that Comey, through one
00:22:23.880 or more conspirators directed a person only identified in the documents as individual number
00:22:29.340 one to disclose the information to a reporter of a national news publication. Prosecutors later
00:22:36.140 identified the unnamed reporter as Charlie Savage of the New York Times, according to an October 23rd
00:22:42.760 government filing, which was unsealed along with the criminal information filing. The story
00:22:48.080 referenced in the case is savage's october 5th 2016 article headline yahoo said to have aided
00:22:55.340 u.s email surveillance by adapting spam filter which describes how yahoo complied with a secret
00:23:02.320 foreign intelligence surveillance court order to scan customers emails the united states
00:23:08.180 investigations uncovered evidence that former fbi director james b comey the cardinal they called
00:23:14.520 sought to correct misinformation which had appeared in the press by way of Reuters the day before.
00:23:20.660 Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin Farinak wrote in subsequent filings
00:23:25.660 that the investigation had uncovered evidence that Mr. Comey directed staff to speak to Mr. Savage
00:23:31.360 in the New York Times about specific accuracy concerns related to the Reuters article
00:23:37.040 and thereby illegally transferred classified information. 0.53
00:23:40.560 So you see what we have here is a classic example of Comey, who is without any question one of the biggest criminals in the Obama-directed Russian collusion hoax, and this incredible hypocrisy.
00:23:55.200 I saw him on video yesterday, once again saying that the charges against him are political.
00:24:01.660 U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden unsealed this case against Comey on Monday at Comey's request,
00:24:07.940 writing that criminal charges against the former FBI director for his conduct law in office are of significant public interest.
00:24:15.320 Comey, who has, of course, denied all wrongdoing in the three cases pending against him,
00:24:20.140 responded in that video post I saw yesterday.
00:24:23.480 Well, they're back again, he said.
00:24:25.840 It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice,
00:24:29.820 one that we cannot become numb to.
00:24:31.860 I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people.
00:24:34.840 This is the guy who, on the one hand, says he's non-political.
00:24:37.620 On the other hand, was seen wearing a Kamala Harris for President t-shirt in one of his videos.
00:24:44.360 A felony, a federal felony charge is ordinarily brought by a grand jury indictment,
00:24:48.920 a criminal information filing, which is what we have here,
00:24:51.740 by contrast is filed by prosecutors alone without a grand jury's vote or a judge is finding a
00:24:57.040 probable cause. Comey cannot face trial on criminal information alone unless he waives
00:25:02.160 indictment. The Justice Department said it filed the information on the anniversary article to
00:25:07.140 keep the 10-year statute of limitations from expiring while continues to pursue the case.
00:25:12.760 This is a very clever move by Attorney General Todd Blanche. Comey's lawyers moved earlier this
00:25:17.680 month to dismiss the case entirely, arguing that both counts are based exclusively on the October
00:25:23.780 5th, 2016 alleged disclosures exactly 10 years before the government filed their criminal
00:25:29.480 information. The applicable statute of limitations explicitly demands an indictment within 10 years
00:25:35.200 of the offense. An information filing does not suffice, they wrote. An indictment fundamentally
00:25:40.300 different from an information filing. The judge has ruled on that motion. Comey's attorney,
00:25:45.800 Patrick Fitzgerald, a former U.S. attorney, a big deep stater, said the leak had already been
00:25:50.960 examined and closed twice. His most recent case involves an October 5th, 2016, New York Times
00:25:57.860 article that two different teams of prosecutors investigated during the first Trump administration,
00:26:02.860 Fitzgerald said. Both times, the government determined that no charges should be brought
00:26:06.660 against anyone. Just the News, however, previously reported a declassified FBI memos
00:26:12.760 detailed in Tropic Vortex, a classified leak investigation that then U.S. Attorney John Durham
00:26:20.160 and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service opened back in March of 2017. The D.C. U.S. Attorney's
00:26:26.740 Office later took it over and declined to prosecute. That was January of 2020. The timing
00:26:31.520 of those memos line up with the information provided in the unsealed court documents this
00:26:35.800 week, but it's not clear if both are referring to the same articles. The memos say Tropic Vortex
00:26:41.660 centered on an October 2016 New York Times article
00:26:44.920 that cited two government sources,
00:26:47.180 one of them at that time FBI General Counsel James Baker,
00:26:51.160 another key player in the Russian collusion hoax.
00:26:54.880 The U.S. PIS investigation also revealed
00:26:57.860 that Baker disclosed U.S. government classified information
00:27:01.000 in New York Times under the belief
00:27:02.220 that he was ultimately instructed and authorized to do so
00:27:05.140 by the FBI Director James Comey.
00:27:08.220 For example, during interviews,
00:27:10.000 Baker indicated the FBI chief of staff, James Rybicki, instructed him, Baker, to disclose the
00:27:16.380 information in the New York Times, and Baker understood that Rybicki was conveying this
00:27:21.080 instruction and authorization from Comey. Therefore, when Comey testified to Congress under oath,
00:27:27.760 saying he had never given permission or instructed any third party to leak classified information,
00:27:33.500 he was lying. What I don't understand, since Comey and I were both charged with the exact same crime,
00:27:39.140 is why James Comey was given 10 days after they announced his indictment
00:27:43.880 to turn his health in privately with his attorney.
00:27:47.420 In other words, why didn't 29 heavily armed FBI agents
00:27:51.380 brandishing fully automatic, semi-automatic assault rifles
00:27:56.420 surround his home at 6 o'clock in the morning
00:27:58.940 with a Fox Television crew in tow?
00:28:03.380 Because that's how they treated me.
00:28:05.100 Clearly, we were charged with the exact same crime
00:28:09.480 But we did not face arrest in the same way
00:28:12.160 To me, there is a perfect example of the two-tiered justice system
00:28:17.080 These new charging documents don't really name who individual won
00:28:20.980 Or the alleged co-conspirators and prosecutors have said
00:28:24.140 Whether the case grows out of a tropic vortex or not
00:28:27.100 Comey's first indictment was back in September of 2025
00:28:30.340 It also centered on media leaks
00:28:32.740 In charge, he lied to Congress in 2020 when he denied authorizing anyone at the FBI to be an anonymous source of news reports.
00:28:40.560 Sources previously reported the person Comey allegedly authorized was his friend and FBI special government employment, Daniel Richman.
00:28:49.260 Richman told agents in a separate leak probe, codenamed Arctic Haze, that he had communicated with the New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt,
00:28:56.800 a guy who, by the way, got a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Russian collusion hoax
00:29:02.060 and should now take that prize and give it back.
00:29:05.000 If it's not given back, well, it should be taken from him.
00:29:07.520 It turns out that everything he wrote turned out to be wrong.
00:29:10.620 The Russian collusion hoax is the biggest single abusive power and dirty trick in American political history.
00:29:17.020 In this case, it's very clear that Richmond leaked the stories to Michael Schmidt of the New York Times
00:29:23.100 in direct violation of the law and contrary to Comey's sworn testimony.
00:29:29.940 So the real question you have to ask here is, in the end,
00:29:33.720 will any of these people who engaged in the greatest criminal conspiracy
00:29:37.720 in the country's history in terms of abuse of power,
00:29:41.360 will any of them actually face justice?
00:29:45.640 As you know, we have a grand jury in South Florida
00:29:49.180 that is trying to make a case on seditious conspiracy.
00:29:53.700 The biggest problem for bringing any of these people,
00:29:55.760 whether it is Obama or Biden or Susan Rice,
00:29:59.420 the national security advisor at the time,
00:30:01.820 or General James Clapper, the director of national intelligence,
00:30:05.540 the aforementioned FBI director, James Comey,
00:30:08.620 or CIA director, John Brennan.
00:30:11.240 He's the guy who knew that the so-called Steele dossier was a fraud,
00:30:16.340 but still put it in the president's daily intelligence brief to create the rationale
00:30:21.500 for the appointment of Robert Mueller as a federal special prosecutor
00:30:26.600 to try to destroy Donald Trump in his first term, almost destroyed me in his wake.
00:30:33.900 Will any of these people ultimately be held accountable?
00:30:37.320 The problem is that in many cases, the statute of limitations has run.
00:30:42.040 In other words, they're time barred.
00:30:44.560 The only case that would be different would be a seditious conspiracy case.
00:30:51.800 In other words, if you could prove that there was one seditious conspiracy that began in July of 2016, takes us all the way through the Russian collusion hoax, two, we now know, completely phony impeachment attempts on Donald Trump.
00:31:08.500 The theft of the 2020 election, the so-called documents case where they raided President Donald Trump's home, I believe, to get back documents that proved their involvement in the Russian collusion hoax and then arced across attempting to blame President Donald Trump for the actions of January 6th.
00:31:30.160 Whether anybody here is going to be held to account remains to be seen.
00:31:36.840 I will be keeping an eye on all these Comey cases.
00:31:39.600 Comey is a key figure in the deep state, and his face will say a lot about what the nation is about to happen
00:31:46.340 and the sabotage of the presidency under Donald Trump and what I've called, again,
00:31:51.340 the single greatest dirty trick in American political history.

00:33:10.440 Meanwhile, detransitioner Zoran Alcaldo said Monday
00:33:14.240 that she tried to attend a CNN town hall with Democrat Texas candidate James Tallarico
00:33:21.160 the earliest months, but organizer told her she could not participate the night before the event.
00:33:27.700 Aldaco, who is suing as a therapist and counsel providing regarding the double mastectomy
00:33:33.740 she received to resemble a man, told podcast host Katie Miller she was hoping to question
00:33:39.520 Tallarico on his stance regarding so-called gender-affirming care. 0.89
00:33:43.340 she went on testosterone for a time under her own care he needs to have a long-form conversation a
00:33:49.620 real face-to-face with somebody like me al daco said according to fox news i tried when he did
00:33:54.900 the cnn town hall where he did prove me wrong steve crowder format engaging with constituents
00:34:01.100 right he tried to get me in that room to talk to him about this issue and be able to give him my
00:34:06.020 message through conversation which i think is most effective they actually didn't get back to us
00:34:10.800 until the evening before and said no we can't have you in the room see what's going on here is
00:34:14.360 james tallarico is a strong supporter of taxpayer financing transition a gender transition of our
00:34:20.580 children but now he's trying to reposition himself as a moderate this is like him saying at one time
00:34:26.560 that jesus christ was binary when uh when he's often said that there are seven or eight genders
00:34:33.820 So he's backed off all of these claims in an effort to appear more moderate.
00:34:39.060 And the polls have continued to show an exceedingly close race in Texas.
00:34:44.620 Now, you can see why in the CNN town hall, 0.97
00:34:48.140 Tallarico would not want somebody who is transgendered in the room, 1.00
00:34:53.120 asking him about that because of his past record in legislature
00:34:56.820 and his past public support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries.
00:35:01.700 this has become a very big issue i have a hard time believing that in very red texas that this
00:35:09.400 race is as close as it is once again i want to warn you about these betting sites whether it's
00:35:16.260 or whether it's polymarket this is not polling this is entertainment so for example about three
00:35:24.340 or four days ago there's a 67 probability according to polymarket that james talrico
00:35:30.760 would win the texas senate race once again this is not a poll a legitimate poll of a subset of texas
00:35:40.020 voters drawn scientifically and conducted with the proper methodology this is an entertainment
00:35:45.880 site in which people place bets based on the day's news or how they feel and therefore i think
00:35:52.560 there's much too much being read
00:35:54.580 into this as these
00:35:56.540 polls across the country
00:35:58.020 as the
00:36:00.080 betting markets seem
00:36:02.600 to be taking the place of legitimate
00:36:04.720 polling. The polls seem to
00:36:06.540 claim in some cases that Sal Rico has
00:36:08.560 a commanding lead. I beg
00:36:10.620 to differ. Real polling shows despite
00:36:12.400 his historically favorable condition
00:36:14.580 for Democrats, Democrats are polling about
00:36:16.540 even with Republicans.
00:36:18.620 In the end, I think that the Texas
00:36:20.560 Attorney General
00:36:21.520 Ken Paxton will pull this race out
00:36:25.400 in a state like Texas
00:36:26.600 the idea that James Tallarico
00:36:28.080 who by the way is a vegan
00:36:29.940 among other things
00:36:31.600 basing their results on betting sites
00:36:33.820 is going to win
00:36:35.180 is absolutely wrong
00:36:36.900 I'm Roger Stone
00:36:38.040 we're talking politics right here in the Stone Zone
00:36:40.000 don't go away because we'll be right back
00:36:42.500 The Stone Zone
00:36:44.980 entertaining and informative
00:36:47.260 on the Red Apple Podcast Network
00:36:49.680 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest
00:37:05.820 political minds roger stone was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant
00:37:10.560 political analyst now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone i'm roger stone
00:37:19.240 and we're back in the stone zone.
00:37:21.400 You know, if there is any villain here
00:37:23.280 in the Obama-Biden days,
00:37:25.080 there's no bigger villain than John Brennan.
00:37:27.820 John Brennan was the former CIA director
00:37:29.780 who actually converted to radical Muslim
00:37:32.420 when he was the CIA station chief in Riyadh,
00:37:37.100 according to at least two witnesses,
00:37:38.920 including the former FBI counterterrorism expert,
00:37:42.620 John Guandolo.
00:37:44.000 Monday on MSNBC,
00:37:46.240 which now calls itself MSNOW, former CIA Director John Brennan said that President Donald Trump
00:37:53.000 and Attorney General Child Blanche are attempting to, quote, tilt, unquote, the 2026 midterm elections.
00:37:59.740 Brennan said, well, the office of the presidency has tremendous authorities that can use the executive branch,
00:38:05.280 as we've seen, whether it be the Department of Justice or ICE or other elements of the Department of Homeland Security
00:38:11.160 to disrupt the day of the election or to actually challenge the certification afterwards.
00:38:15.540 So I think Donald Trump is, unfortunately, going to do whatever it takes to get away with.
00:38:20.820 And unfortunately, we have people like Todd Blanche, who I think is just showing how devious a lawyer is by trying to defend the indefensible.
00:38:27.360 Because the things he's been saying on the talk shows this weekend, I think, certainly show that he has an unprincipled view and attitude towards his job as attorney general.
00:38:35.800 This would be lackable if it wasn't so serious.
00:38:38.760 Brennan then added
00:38:40.920 these elections are so critically important
00:38:42.700 and it's rather curious as to why
00:38:44.420 all elections that go Donald Trump's way
00:38:47.160 he has no problems with
00:38:48.160 in terms of saying that they were fraudulently achieved
00:38:50.900 any time it goes against him
00:38:52.600 or his preferred outcome
00:38:54.160 he claims fraud
00:38:55.140 he claims a rage election
00:38:56.600 he claims some type of interference
00:38:58.040 so again it just shows that Donald Trump
00:39:00.140 has no interest in a fair outcome
00:39:02.420 of the election
00:39:03.560 what he's looking for is any ways
00:39:06.200 that he can tilt it towards the Republicans
00:39:07.800 This is Brennan that I'm quoting, who continued to bow and genuflect to him, remaining in control of the House as well as the Senate.
00:39:15.000 By the way, it's almost certain that Brennan himself perjured himself before the House Intelligence Committee in May of 2017,
00:39:21.080 and at minimum, when he denied any knowledge of the origins of the phony Steele dossier.
00:39:26.100 That was the fake report that accused Donald Trump of dallying with Russian prostitutes while visiting Moscow as a private businessman.
00:39:33.220 We now know that that report was a fraud commissioned and paid for by Hillary Clinton.
00:39:38.640 But the point is, John Brennan knew that in 27, in 2017, pardon me.
00:39:43.780 And Andrew Weissman, who was the de facto head of the Mueller investigation, knew it when back when he was the general counsel to the FBI.
00:39:53.080 So both of them lied under oath about this.
00:39:56.640 But it was Brennan who then forced the Steele dossier assessment that the Russians were attempting to influence the 26th election, specifically via the Trump campaign, into Barack Obama's daily intelligence summary report.
00:40:12.100 That provided the legal rationale for the appointment of Robert Mueller in the worst scandal in American history, the Russian collusion hoax.
00:40:21.540 Brennan testified the information and intelligence revealed that contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of no Russian efforts to suborn such elections.
00:40:32.740 It raised questions in my mind about whether the Russians were able to gain the cooperation of such individuals.
00:40:39.860 Now, when Congressman Trey Gowdy asked Brennan directly about any evidence that Trump officials concluded with the Kremlin, Brennan said, I don't know.
00:40:48.120 I don't know whether there is such evidence.
00:40:50.680 Well, that's better than Adam Schiff.
00:40:52.320 Adam Schiff said that he had seen more than circumstantial evidence of Russian collusion,
00:40:57.840 yet he never produced any such thing.
00:40:59.860 Now the same Adam Schiff is back, saying that Donald Trump should be impeached for corruption.
00:41:05.880 This is the same Adam Schiff who turned out to claim that his principal residence was in California,
00:41:12.640 apart when he actually lived in Maryland, to avoid paying taxes.
00:41:17.040 Once again, we see a two-tiered justice system.
00:41:20.060 I'm Roger Stone. Until tomorrow, God bless you and God bless you.
00:41:50.060 We'll be right back.
