00:00:00.000 Experience North America's premier night of standard bred racing, big stakes racing, big night out.
00:00:05.260 The Mohawk Million, Saturday, September 26th at Woodbuy Mohawk Park.
00:00:09.480 Free admission. Details at woodbuymohawkpark.com.
00:00:24.720 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:00:28.360 People love him and respect him. Roger Stone.
00:00:31.240 Now, get him a zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.
00:00:39.620 Welcome to the Stone Zone. I'm your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:44.120 John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, the MSNBC high priest, secret Islamist, and Trump derangement syndrome super spreader,
00:00:54.020 has been subpoenaed in a Justice Department probe.
00:00:57.000 of whether former intelligence officials illegally conspired against President Donald Trump.
00:01:02.440 Federal prosecutors want him before a Fort Pierce, Florida grand jury on October 15th.
00:01:07.900 There's a wider file on Mar-a-Lago and a narrower case on what he may have told Congress.
00:01:13.880 Brennan has already sued, moaning that his administration is using the process to punish adversaries.
00:01:20.020 Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
00:01:22.560 Supposedly, he intends to sue for selective prosecution.
00:01:26.160 Let me give them a hint. I tried that. Didn't work.
00:01:29.140 See, I lived through the Mueller raid.
00:01:31.340 They showed up at dawn pointing rifles at my wife and I.
00:01:34.980 The cameras were there from CNN to cause maximum embarrassment.
00:01:39.240 I was slapped with a gag order taking away my free speech.
00:01:42.500 Brennan and his cronies called that justice.
00:01:45.320 Now the wheel has turned and Brennan is suddenly concerned about malicious prosecution.
00:01:50.540 While it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
00:01:53.060 Brennan will be forced to go under oath and be grilled by prosecutors.
00:01:56.900 Frankly, it's about time.
00:01:58.620 But if it results in nothing or just a slap on the wrist,
00:02:01.280 there'll be nothing stopping them from running the exact same operation,
00:02:05.140 again, the first chance they get against a future president, or perhaps even this one.
00:02:10.220 Frankly, it has taken too long to get these investigations off the ground.
00:02:14.280 The evidence is there.
00:02:15.900 Brennan is a great starting point.
00:02:17.580 He is the guy who wedged the so-called Steele dossier,
00:02:20.840 The fraudulent report that falsely claimed that Donald Trump was involved with the Russians into President Barack Obama's intelligence report in order to rationalize the appointment of Robert Mueller as the special counselor when there was never any evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion with Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
00:02:43.240 Now, Brennan must be forced to pay for what he did to President Trump, myself, and the U.S. Constitution through his treasonous deep state activity.
00:02:51.280 Meanwhile, the Treasury Department just sanctioned companies and cutouts, it says, moved restricted technology, industrial components, and cash through Chinese-linked networks towards hostile governments, including the Islamic Kingdom of Iran.
00:03:05.680 Treasury is targeting logistics shops, brokers, shells, banks, payment mules, shipping lines, and the nice little firms that route dual-use parts through a third country and call it commerce.
00:03:19.700 A designation freezes property under American jurisdiction and tells U.S. persons to stop doing business with the name on the piece of paper.
00:03:28.040 That's a good start, but now they must be enforced.
00:03:30.580 Sanction is stationary when a sophisticated adversary can reroute the purchase through a cousin in Dubai or a warehouse in Shazan.
00:03:39.040 China sits in the middle of the manufacturing web that feeds Russia, Iran, and every other client state that cannot build a chip without our ecosystem.
00:03:48.680 Now we must track to ensure that this illicit network is losing access to dollars, parts, and markets.
00:03:55.640 Secondary sanctions have a price.
00:03:57.600 They shove neutral towards other pavement rails. 0.73
00:03:59.980 It can oftentimes seem like a game of whack-a-mole, but we need to maintain our vigilance to constantly root out these networks that are being used by China to aid and abet our enemies, particularly now as Iran is on the brink of surrender. 0.69
00:04:14.020 They are only barely holding on because of China's support.
00:04:17.280 Now, because of Treasury's sanctions under the leadership of Secretary Scott Besson, that support will be much harder to provide.
00:04:24.600 Meanwhile, California governor and 2028 presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper that he will not run for president in 2028 if Kamala Harris runs. Interestingly, Tapper and Newsom seem to be on a fishing trip together. Kind of strange for one of them being a journalist.
00:04:42.240 But he claimed that a Newsom versus Harris primary race would be mutually assured destruction and a gift from God for everybody else in the race.
00:04:51.780 Newsom is not saying this to be gracious or chivalrous.
00:04:54.080 This is a man who can read a poll and a Venn diagram of the same donors and the same political ecosystem.
00:05:01.680 Kamala already lost the country once. 0.59
00:05:03.860 Actually, she ran twice, lost both times.
00:05:06.780 The state of California went to hell on Gavin's watch.
00:05:09.120 together they would spend nine months explaining why the other one is and they would probably both
00:05:14.260 be right. The end game would be a democrat socialist like AOC or someone even crazier
00:05:20.000 gaining the nomination. Neither Harris nor Newsom wants that outcome and the democrat establishment
00:05:25.640 paymasters will certainly twist arms to prevent that from happening. If the democrat party's
00:05:30.700 2028 plan is a courtesy pact between two rejected brands well then MAGA should send them a fruit
00:05:36.920 basket. Don't expect another Kamala 0.59
00:05:38.840 run. She's damaged goods, although 1.00
00:05:40.940 she has an aim on the infrastructure.
00:05:43.280 The Democrats would rather unite around
00:05:44.820 a slimy and superficial
00:05:46.620 Newsom, conning themselves in believing
00:05:48.780 he has the charisma to win a
00:05:50.620 national campaign. But much
00:05:52.840 like Mike Dukakis, would
00:05:54.700 Republicans simply say that he'll do
00:05:56.580 for America what he's done for California?
00:05:59.480 If so, he's 0.99
00:06:00.940 a loser in 2028. 0.99
00:06:02.780 New York City Mayor Zoran Mamjami, 0.97
00:06:05.180 New York Attorney General Letitia James,
00:06:06.920 and a choir of Democrat attorney generals raced into court to kill President Trump's revived 0.86
00:06:12.840 public charge rule again before September 18th. This pertains to the oldest question law. If you
00:06:20.180 want to live here permanently, you can fend for yourself. Or are we importing a lifetime burden
00:06:25.600 on the taxpayer? You see, the Department of Homeland Security's would weigh Medicaid,
00:06:29.500 food stamps, and other benefits on some visa and greed card files. President Trump did this in 2019
00:06:36.720 Biden ended the policy in 2022. The lawsuit says the standards are vague and families will drop
00:06:43.700 benefits they are quote-unquote entitled to receive. In other words, these invaders who 0.99
00:06:49.440 are here illegally feel entitled to a passport and the pantry as well. Congress already wrote 1.00
00:06:54.400 public charge into statute. It did not write a suicide pact that says every benefit we foolishly
00:07:00.700 extend must be invisible to an immigration officer. American has been besieged under the
00:07:05.980 auspicism, kindness, and compassion. We will not be gaslighted by disingenuous socialists
00:07:11.720 any longer. Mamdami's New York is a fiscal abomination, not a moral authority with veto
00:07:17.700 power over administrative policy. Expect this frivolous lawsuit effort to be dismissed by the 0.67
00:07:23.480 courts. Well, Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, came back to the Capitol on Monday after three months
00:07:28.880 in the void. After a June fall and a hospitalization he did not explain, and then, unfortunately,
00:07:34.900 pneumonia, McConnell made his valiant return. Only it wasn't so valiant. AIDS carried him backwards
00:07:41.420 out of the townhouse into a wheelchair. He did look completely out of it. Whereas Biden could 1.00
00:07:46.200 at least mumble a reply, McConnell looks as though he was made out of stone. Despite his years as a
00:07:52.260 rhino and harming the country by obstructing the Trump agenda, it's hard on a human level not to
00:07:58.200 feel some sympathy for Mitch McConnell in his current condition. Democrats had an empty husk
00:08:03.500 as their leader for four years, insulted the American people by lying to us about it,
00:08:07.960 and insulted anyone who came out and called out the farce. Now Republicans are essentially doing
00:08:13.480 the same thing with Mitch McConnell. Instead of removing him and having a special election,
00:08:18.960 they have staged a charade that is akin to a weekend at Bernie's movie from the 1990s. Those
00:08:25.320 movies were considered far-fetched at the time, but now they have become a political reality.
00:08:30.900 This is a grotesque instance of elder abuse, and those perpetrating it should be ashamed.
00:08:36.580 Kentucky deserves a senator who is lucid and can finish the sentence on his own accord.
00:08:41.780 I say get Mitch McConnell the care that he needs, but he should be nowhere near the halls of Congress in his current diminished state.
00:08:48.780 Meanwhile, Joseph and Arlene Kutso are proud Catholics, and they're facing a nightmare beyond comprehension. 0.79
00:08:55.760 Their daughter, Sophie, was socially transitioned by a Massachusetts high school that did not ask their consent before spreading the plague to their offspring. 0.86
00:09:05.300 When the parents refused to call their daughter a boy, the Department of Children and Families took her in in December 2024. 1.00
00:09:13.940 She was only 15. Contract with the parents was cut.
00:09:17.360 She was housed with boys, kept from Sunday, put on birth control and psychiatric drugs.
00:09:22.300 The state was even looking for testosterone to dose her with.
00:09:25.640 Abuse claims against the father were unfounded.
00:09:28.560 The heresy was the pronouns, and that was enough to justify removal of the child from the parents in the state's eyes.
00:09:35.380 The Justice Department, under the jurisdiction of Harmeet Dillon, is finally saying the obvious.
00:09:40.940 Parents direct the upbringing of their children.
00:09:43.640 Massachusetts kidnapped this child and called it care.
00:09:46.900 This is not medicine.
00:09:49.120 It is custody and array dressed as compassion.
00:09:51.940 a state that seizes a girl because her mother will not sign a script that has left the liberal
00:09:56.920 tradition and entered the loony bin president trump is right to treat this entire industry
00:10:01.160 as malpractice sophie must be returned home she must receive the treatment she needs legitimate 0.68
00:10:06.860 therapy that does not coddle the delusions put in her head but by evil demonic abusers anyone
00:10:13.880 involved in the abduction of sophie should in my opinion face federal charges in a desperate
00:10:19.680 attempt to remain relevant. Stinky Steve Bannon's apparently going
00:10:23.460 communist. The notorious Epstein collaborator turned up on
00:10:27.580 the Future of Life Institute's Pro-Human Assembly to fight
00:10:31.480 artificial intelligence in the same
00:10:34.680 photo as British Hollywood clergy and the other usualizing
00:10:39.420 celebrities. Bannon, who the Department of Justice
00:10:43.700 revealed was a close associating Jeffrey Epstein when they released
00:10:47.420 over 19 emails between Bannon and Epstein thundered that oligarchs lied about acceleration
00:10:53.840 and putting mankind into jeopardy. Bernie Sanders nodded as Steve Bannon railed against
00:10:59.520 technological progress, giving a bipartisan veneer to a socialist agenda that is meant to upend
00:11:06.340 President Trump's American revival. The Trump administration has tried to win an AI race with
00:11:12.120 China. If AI developments
00:11:14.040 halted because of fears, that means 0.88
00:11:15.980 China will get the edge on us. 0.85
00:11:17.760 That cannot be allowed 0.97
00:11:19.560 to happen.
00:11:22.140 Past data, protection
00:11:23.800 laws, and privacy protections,
00:11:25.960 I say yes. Make corporations
00:11:28.060 pay if they don't follow them, but
00:11:29.700 to rail against the development of 0.98
00:11:31.620 artificial intelligence is as silly 0.98
00:11:33.540 as railing against the development 0.98
00:11:35.620 of the motor car to the horse and
00:11:37.680 buggy industry. The gin-soaked
00:11:40.220 lout, Steve Bannon, does not
00:11:41.760 believe a word he's saying. He's pushing his brand of sloppalism. He's always been a sinister fifth
00:11:47.760 column working to undermine the MAGA movement. His emails between he and Jeffrey Epstein proved that.
00:11:53.200 He proved it when he leaked sensitive documents to the media while he served in the Trump
00:11:56.880 administration. Then he did public relations for the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the rest is
00:12:02.100 history. We'll all be better off when this gastropod finally fades into the ether. Meanwhile,
00:12:08.920 While Vice President J.D. Vance flew to Kansas City with Attorney General of Time, FBI Director Cash Patel, and Small Business Administrative Leader Kelly Loeffler, and actually demanded taxpayer money back.
00:12:20.000 You see, the SBA, Small Business Administration, has suspended about 8,700 borrowers tied to an estimated $39 billion in suspected paycheck protection and disaster loan fraud.
00:12:32.940 Operation No-Dose starts in Kansas and Missouri, giving them 30 days to repay.
00:12:38.180 Then the program will be expanded throughout the entire country.
00:12:42.080 Loeffler's number should keep an auditor from sleeping at night.
00:12:45.600 Washington shoveled out roughly $1.2 trillion.
00:12:49.720 She estimates that $200 billion was stolen from the taxpayers.
00:12:53.840 The Treasury Department already has 560,000 suspected cases and $22 billion in potential collections.
00:13:05.300 Suspensions are not convictions.
00:13:07.100 They are a padlock on the next trough of money, stopping new SBA credit with the suspension of federal contracting.
00:13:14.420 I've always considered myself a libertarian.
00:13:17.220 When the COVID relief happened, it may have been done with the most noble of intentions.
00:13:22.400 But when you have large government programs with zero accountability, fraud always will follow.
00:13:28.340 This does not mean making examples out of those who misunderstood confusing rules.
00:13:32.640 This is not to become a witch hunt, but it's past time to recoup the lost money.
00:13:37.700 And those who blatantly committed the fraud need to be locked up.
00:13:42.360 The Stone Zone.
00:13:44.280 Entertaining and informative.
00:13:46.420 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:13:52.400 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell
00:14:07.800 but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but
00:14:14.140 people love him and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone
00:14:19.700 Welcome back into the Stone Zone. I'm your host, Roger Stone.
00:14:27.020 The Supreme Court just told President Donald Trump that he cannot enforce new postal service mail ballot rules on the street before the November elections.
00:14:35.600 This is an incredible blow to the idea of election integrity.
00:14:39.720 Only Justices Alito and Thomas dissented. The rest of the court kept the injunction in place.
00:14:45.140 Under the proposed plan by President Trump, states using federal mail for ballots would furnish recipient lists and unique barcodes on standardized envelopes.
00:14:54.880 Non-compliant election mail could be refused.
00:14:57.720 Lower courts said that the United States Postal Service likely exceeded its authority and that changing the machinery after ballots are already printed is too disruptive.
00:15:06.720 The administration said that Congress already gave the Postal Service the mail, but the Supreme Court of the United States unfortunately did not step up to the plate.
00:15:15.140 for election integrity. See, if we want ironclad chain of custody rules that survive a potential
00:15:21.120 Democrat attorney general in the future, we cannot ask a postmaster to do Congress's job. 0.61
00:15:26.780 They need to write a law. Pass it for when the ballots are still in a warehouse,
00:15:31.240 not somewhere in a mailbox. Until Congress gets serious about enacting the President's agenda,
00:15:36.660 we'll remain at the mercy of the biased courts and the rule of law will hang in the balance.
00:15:40.620 The president cannot flout the courts, but this is an extraordinary blow to election integrity.
00:15:46.940 Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton sat down with radio host John Katsimatidis and offered a shameful confession reminding us why Democrats cannot be trusted to protect national security.
00:15:58.140 Clinton had authorized the CIA to take out Osama bin Laden.
00:16:02.360 Then Clinton killed the plane at the last minute, afraid that a mist might kill civilians.
00:16:06.980 Bill Clinton was in Australia on September 11th.
00:16:09.640 Hillary Clinton was in Washington DC. Chelsea was in lower Manhattan. He said he knew it was
00:16:14.420 bin Laden when the second plane hit. I of course am the author of the book The Clinton's War on
00:16:19.340 Women. I know more about this family than I care to admit but these words by Bill show off a
00:16:24.800 tremendous arrogance. This is a president who says he always thought bin Laden was our biggest threat
00:16:29.860 passed on the opportunity to take him out. As a result we suffered the worst attack on our country
00:16:35.240 in our history. If President Trump was in office then, bin Laden would have been dead and 9-11
00:16:40.960 would never have happened. Even George W. Bush, who made many mistakes in the war on terror,
00:16:46.240 particularly the Iraq invasion, was just dealing with the aftermath of a Clinton administration
00:16:50.720 that did not take Islamic terrorism seriously enough. They were so busy bombing Serbia to get 0.94
00:16:56.020 the public eyes off of Clinton's bevy of embarrassing affairs, Clinton not only should
00:17:00.980 be remembered for his personal ethical failures, but also for his refusal to keep the country safe
00:17:06.420 when action could have made a difference. I'd give credit to the head of the CIA for declassifying
00:17:13.420 documents last Friday that showed that both Presidents George W. Bush and President Bill
00:17:20.100 Clinton were told in advance of the very specific threat of al-Qaeda and the potential of the attack
00:17:26.580 on america on 9-11 although not specific to that date unfortunately they were not paying attention
00:17:32.620 thanks for joining us today on the stone zone i'm roger stone where we talk politics history news
00:17:38.620 style fashion from time to time food don't be don't go away because we'll be back on the other
00:17:44.500 side i want to talk about the lindsey clancy case and the extraordinary decision there and also the
00:17:51.280 way that the one male juror who held out guaranteeing a mistrial has been ostracized once again
00:17:58.040 thanks for joining us to the stone zone don't go away because we'll be right back
00:18:02.160 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell
00:18:20.560 But he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
00:18:25.940 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:18:28.380 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:18:30.700 Here's Roger Stone.
00:18:35.140 You are now re-entering the Stone Zone.
00:18:39.440 Lindsay Clancy killed her three children in Massachusetts in 2023.
00:18:44.340 After a shameful social media spectacle resulted in a hung jury,
00:18:48.280 it was revealed that 11 of the jurors were ready to excuse Lindsay Clancy's murderous rampage as a medical event.
00:18:56.620 One juror exercised his conscience and refused to give in to the mob mentality.
00:19:02.260 That juror has been pilloried by the media and has been painted publicly as a villain.
00:19:07.320 However, he's gained a cult following as a hero to some, and crowdfunding efforts are gaining momentum.
00:19:13.300 A give send go for the holdout juror has raised about $117,000.
00:19:19.820 The country got full TikTok diagnostics package when it became to the entire Lindsay Clancy case.
00:19:27.400 Postpartum psychosis, voices in her head, pill bottles.
00:19:31.760 The defense lawyer, a real piece of work who would have fit right into the reprobates who represented O.J. Simpson,
00:19:37.660 said the panel had been robbed by one man.
00:19:40.420 But the GoFundMe is not a robbery
00:19:42.940 These are the voluntary donations of men and women who admire the courage
00:19:46.940 Of standing up against the insane pro-Clancy sentiments
00:19:50.400 That indicate our civilization's moral bankruptcy
00:19:53.540 In this day and age, media mobs decide that fact is the beholder
00:19:58.020 Speculation becomes treated as canon
00:20:00.420 It has somehow never been more egregious than in this case
00:20:03.940 Three children are dead
00:20:05.380 They live their final moments in agony because their mother was a monster
00:20:09.600 The holdout juror was the only adult in the room.
00:20:12.860 Now let's make him a little richer so others will momentarily be incentivized to do the right thing during inevitable future instances such as this.
00:20:22.120 Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul handed a full New York pardon to Casey Guerrero Mariano, a Dominican national convicted of second degree assault in 2015 for the most honest reason in left-wing politics.
00:20:36.440 So Donald Trump could not deport him.
00:20:39.040 ICE had him in 2020.
00:20:41.020 The conviction made him removable even as a green card holder.
00:20:44.700 The Supreme Court was about to hear whether criminal non-citizens get bond hearings during long detention,
00:20:51.320 but Hochul's pen made that filing moot. 0.98
00:20:54.700 Solicitor General John Sauer will have to find another way to remove this illegal immigrant criminal, 0.67
00:21:00.620 but he shouldn't have to do so. 1.00
00:21:02.460 Hochul says he has lived a crime-free stretch and contributed to the community.
00:21:07.440 Iowa Solicitor General asked only one adult question.
00:21:10.920 How many non-American felons will governors pardon to erase the consequences?
00:21:15.880 When the law points at the border, they pardon the rap sheet.
00:21:19.840 They will do anything to keep the focus and the foot on the gas for the invasion.
00:21:25.980 As a governor who uses clemency as an immigration veto, that's not merciful. 0.96
00:21:31.140 She's an enemy of the republic in my view. 0.56
00:21:33.000 If New York wants to be a halfway house for deportable convicts, then Hochul and Miam Dami are the right people to be in charge.
00:21:40.160 But if New Yorkers want a free and fair society, want to live in dignity, they'll have to overthrow these Democrats and put America vs. Patriots cut from the same cloth as Mayor Rudy Giuliani back in charge.
00:21:53.520 Former George W. Bush advisor and longtime Texas Republican strategist Karl Rove
00:21:59.280 reportedly said on Monday that he would vote for the Democrat
00:22:02.700 in the Texas Railroad Commissioner's race, claiming it's his first Democrat vote since 1994.
00:22:10.940 According to the Texas Tribune, Rove made the remarks during a members-only luncheon at Austin's Headliners Club.
00:22:17.760 Three attendees told the outlet that Rove called Republican candidate for Railroad Commissioner Beau French a bigot.
00:22:26.160 French sparked bipartisan condemnation over the weekend after he posted a photo of a largely foreign crowd at a University of Texas at Austin game and wrote,
00:22:35.560 I heard UT graduations here look like this. I didn't believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.
00:22:42.880 Evidently, Rove was offended.
00:22:44.960 John Rosenthal, who Roe is supporting, is a Houston Democrat and a career oil field engineer
00:22:50.940 who's running against French for a seat on the three-member Railroad Commission,
00:22:55.360 which regulates Texas's oil and gas industry.
00:22:59.200 Roe reportedly said he voted for only one Democrat candidate in the past,
00:23:02.400 and that would be former Texas Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock.
00:23:05.720 But do we really believe that Karl Rove voted for Donald Trump once, twice, or even three times?
00:23:12.140 For those who don't remember, during his time in the Bush White House,
00:23:14.920 Karl Rove used his position to promote companies he owned stock in.
00:23:19.000 In March of 2001, Rove held more than $100,000 in Intel stock.
00:23:24.200 He met at the White House with Intel CEO Craig Barrett and company lobbyists.
00:23:29.300 They pitched federal approval of a high-tech merger involving a supplier.
00:23:32.820 The administration approved the deal less than two months later.
00:23:36.240 Rove held nearly 250,000 in two major drug companies including Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson
00:23:43.020 He met in his White House office with Alan Homer, president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America
00:23:49.500 and lobbyist Vin Weber, a former congressman
00:23:52.580 The White House called it an introductory meeting on issues of importance on pharma members, Medicare and prescription drug policy
00:24:00.120 were the live issues
00:24:01.460 Rove sold all 23 of his individual stocks
00:24:04.580 His portfolio was valued at between $1 and $2.5 million within two days of that meeting.
00:24:10.840 Here's a few examples of the many examples of what I believe is corruption.
00:24:16.000 President Donald Trump responded to Rove's decision to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm election last night,
00:24:22.280 writing a scathing rebuke on the Bush-era snake in his true social feed.
00:24:27.280 The president said Rove suffers from a major case of Trump derangement syndrome, primarily because for almost 10 years, I beat back and won against so many of the people and things that he wanted and espoused.
00:24:40.820 Why does Fox News and the Wall Street Journal keep this rhino voice alive? 0.99
00:24:45.700 The guy is a stone cold loser. 0.96
00:24:48.520 Well, the president was right about Rove, who's always been more interested in serving the ruling elite than achieving anything for the American people. 0.99
00:24:56.220 Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky
00:24:59.580 Improved sanctions on his former press secretary
00:25:02.440 Yulia Medel on Sunday
00:25:05.120 Accusing her and nine others of spreading Russian propaganda
00:25:09.020 And supporting Russia's aggressive policy towards Ukraine
00:25:13.120 Mendel is a press secretary who accused Zelensky of abusing drugs
00:25:17.040 Including cocaine several months ago
00:25:19.580 That story made national news at the time
00:25:22.380 I remember it well
00:25:24.140 Yulia Mendel, who worked for Zelensky from 2019 to 2021 before Russia's invasion,
00:25:29.860 responded with a message on Facebook saying it was unconstitutional to impose sanctions on a Ukrainian citizen.
00:25:36.940 She did not comment on her specific accusations against Zelensky.
00:25:41.620 In a post to X made earlier this week, Mendel said,
00:25:45.240 Zelensky keeps sanctioning anyone who stands openly for peace or against corruption.
00:25:49.060 Thank you for your support and understanding how important it is to fight for democracy against Putin's invasion, and Zelensky's autocracy is.
00:25:57.220 Putin's war is unjustified in its brutality and its disregard for human life.
00:26:02.200 Zelensky's record of dismantling reforms, protecting corrupt networks, deceiving his own people, and elevating personal power above the survival of the nation is equally unjustified.
00:26:12.980 One intellectual said, addressing both realities is the minimum requirement for intellectual honesty.
00:26:19.740 In a separate post, the former press secretary revealed that Zelensky launched the sanctions against her just days before he was set to address the European Parliament.
00:26:29.360 Mendel wrote, a few days before my address to the European Parliament followed Demir Zelensky, my former boss, imposed sanctions on me.
00:26:36.560 Sanctions against Ukrainian citizens are unconstitutional, just like many of Zelensky's other decisions.
00:26:42.980 Volodymyr Zelensky uses them against anyone who advocates for peace or elections in Ukraine.
00:26:49.600 I knew that high treason charges were being prepared over my interview with Tucker Carlson,
00:26:54.160 and I anticipated the possibility of sanctions.
00:26:57.240 That does not change my position, nor that of millions of Ukrainians to survive.
00:27:02.080 Ukraine needs peace, not autocracy, even if it is Zelensky's autocracy.
00:27:06.740 Zelensky was arrested, has arrested Christians attending church,
00:27:09.900 launched investigations and arrested his political opposition, and worked to undermine the freedoms
00:27:15.620 and liberties of Ukraine throughout his presidency. Ukraine is no more a democracy than Russia.
00:27:21.540 During the 2024 election, when America faced annihilation at the hands of Kamala Harris and 0.83
00:27:27.120 the Democrats, Zelensky appeared in Pennsylvania, a swing state, with Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro
00:27:33.080 just months before the elections at a local munitions factory. Zelensky worked to get
00:27:38.540 Democrats elected over President Donald Trump, namely because of the taxpayer money he was able
00:27:43.060 to siphon from President Joe Biden. If that's not foreign interference in the American election,
00:27:48.420 I don't know what is. It's estimated that Zelensky was able to secure over $175 billion in total aid
00:27:55.840 from the United States during the Biden presidency. Keep in mind it was Ukraine in which Hunter Biden
00:28:00.600 was working as a board member of the state-sponsored energy company called Burisma. Although Zelensky
00:28:06.900 He later hired a prosecutor at the request of President Donald Trump to investigate Hunter Biden's corruption in Ukraine.
00:28:13.100 The probe found nothing, was quickly slept under the rug after President Trump officially had lost the 2020 election.
00:28:21.180 And millions of his supporters were disappointed.
00:28:24.420 Solinsky may talk the talk, but he actually never walks the walk.
00:28:28.360 The Ukrainian war has succeeded only in allowing him to remain in total power in Ukraine.
00:28:33.780 The power that he now uses to sanction a press secretary who claims to be telling the truth about his rampant abuse of power.
00:28:40.720 Whether or not the allegations against Zelensky will go anywhere, well, that still remains to be seen.
00:28:45.800 However, we do know for certain that Zelensky will remain on my international worst-dressed list,
00:28:51.020 which I've been publishing since 2016, on a yearly basis as long as he refuses to wear a suit,
00:28:56.840 particularly when he visits the White House.
00:28:58.660 If he can wear a suit when he goes to the World Economic Forum,
00:29:01.520 he can certainly wear a suit when he comes to visit the President of the United States.
00:29:06.320 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump unveiled his newest renovation at the White House today
00:29:10.500 on True Social, sharing for the very first time the picture of the completed heliport
00:29:15.460 on the White House lawn. The President added a message about the state-of-the-art technology
00:29:20.240 included in the heliport pad in his post at True Social. The President said,
00:29:24.640 this is the first picture taken of the new heliport raining zone on the South Lawn of the
00:29:29.440 White House. It is magnificently made of carved granite and shades of black and white. It's truly
00:29:34.760 a work of art and even the Trump haters are saying, wow, that looks really good. It was completed
00:29:39.920 ahead of schedule, under budget, and again, though expensive, was a gift to America. As part of the
00:29:45.840 project, the poorly conditioned asphalt at the main entrance was replaced with the highest grade
00:29:50.920 four and five inch thick white granite. At a strength of 35,000 pounds per square inch and
00:29:57.080 rated one million years plus the highest rating there is for stone aside from being beautiful
00:30:02.540 it's also essentially indestructible there will be no cracks or defacement ever the heliport path
00:30:10.020 travels directly into the main entrance where the green entrance doors from that was years ago a
00:30:15.460 maintenance area were changed to white house white with the new highest level hardware locks and
00:30:21.420 hinges. It is an honor, in my spare time, he said, to bring back the beauty and the magnificence of
00:30:27.580 the White House to levels it has not ever seen before, not even after its construction in 1792.
00:30:34.840 Like our nation, under the Democrats, as he put it, we were in decline. The White House was a
00:30:40.020 badly maintained dump. Now it is returning to be a palace. President Trump, of course, 0.87
00:30:45.440 comes from a real estate family. He built a $10 billion real estate empire before he
00:30:50.140 ever successfully ran for president of the United States. If there's one thing he knows how to do,
00:30:55.000 it's improve a property. The president has personally paid for portions of the renovations
00:30:59.740 at the White House, raised money for others, such as the ballroom, with his second term making the
00:31:04.800 first overhaul of the grounds in decades. Democrats may not like it, but President Donald Trump is
00:31:10.020 bringing America into the 21st century and making the White House more functional in the process.
00:31:15.880 In the meantime, one of the most corrupt individuals in American political history, former FBI Director James Comey, is now asking for a four-month delay in his trial over assassination threats he made against President Donald Trump on his social media feed.
00:31:30.520 Last year, Comey posted to his Instagram picture, seashells on the beach with the shells in the formation of the numbers 86-47, slang for killing the 47th president, who's endured countless assassination attempts through his political career.
00:31:47.520 Now, James Comey and I were both arrested for the exact same charge and charged with lying to Congress.
00:31:53.500 there's one substantial difference. The FBI raided my home at six o'clock in the morning
00:31:58.460 with 29 FBI agents fully outfitted in SWAT gear and brandishing fully automatic assault weapons
00:32:06.020 pointed at my head and the head of my wife. On the other hand, James Comey, who had those charges
00:32:12.120 against him later dropped, was allowed to surrender voluntarily about 10 days after he was charged
00:32:18.540 and do so in private. For anyone who doesn't understand that we have a two-tier justice system,
00:32:23.880 there is the best possible example of it. I'm waiting to see if James Comey is also charged,
00:32:29.840 along with John Brennan in South Florida. A little good news this week, as I said earlier,
00:32:35.120 John Brennan, who I think was the main orchestrator of the Russian collusion hoax,
00:32:40.000 has been summonsed to a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida. Perhaps we will finally get
00:32:44.560 to the cabal, which put together the entire Russian collusion hoax, the largest single
00:32:51.320 dirty trick in American political history. You're listening to The Stone Zone. Don't go away because
00:32:55.980 we'll be right back. The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:33:14.560 This is the Stone Zone. Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.
00:33:21.920 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.
00:33:28.840 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him. Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:33:33.760 Here's Roger Stone.
00:33:38.420 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
00:33:40.600 In a court filing earlier, James Comey, the former FBI director's lawyers, asked Judge Louise Flanagan, a Bush appointee, to push back his trial date to October.
00:33:51.940 This is the case in which, of course, he threatened the president's life with the she-shall grouping that said 86-47.
00:33:59.580 Anybody who understands mob talk knows exactly what that means.
00:34:03.760 Comey's lead counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois,
00:34:10.060 told the judge that Comey will file motions seeking dismissal of the indictment.
00:34:14.320 Mr. Comey expects to file multiple motions on constitutional grounds seeking dismissal of the indictment.
00:34:20.720 Some of these motions may be dependent upon discovery to be produced by the government and may require extensive briefing, Fitzgerald, the attorney, wrote.
00:34:28.600 Discovery is still forthcoming from the government.
00:34:31.600 For that reason, Mr. Comey respectfully requests that the court extend the current scheduling deadline
00:34:36.520 and set the following schedule for motions and arraignment, he added.
00:34:40.460 The trial was previously tentatively scheduled for July 15th.
00:34:44.580 Justice delayed is justice denied.
00:34:47.180 On Monday, Comey's lawyers asked for the October trial to be pushed back four more months
00:34:52.040 and for the Justice Department has not opposed the delay.
00:34:55.800 The seriousness of threatening a president's life cannot be overstated.
00:34:59.840 The office carries with it not merely symbolic authority, but command over the world's most powerful military and intelligence apparatuses.
00:35:07.800 Any statement interpreted as encouraging violence against the president reverberates far beyond ordinary political discourse.
00:35:15.340 Under federal law, prosecutors must prove that the statement constituted a true threat rather than protected hyperbole or satire.
00:35:23.140 But there are indications that text messages between Comey and his wife show premeditation and that Comey knew precisely what he was doing.
00:35:33.020 Now, the Justice Department must establish that the communication was knowingly and willfully made and that a responsible person familiar with the context would interpret it as a serious expression of intent to inflict harm on the president.
00:35:47.220 courts have repeatedly wrestled with the balance between free speech protections and genuine
00:35:52.300 security threats. Context becomes decisive. Social media has further complicated the legal terrain
00:35:59.200 because, well, coded phrases, viral symbolism, and politically charged innuendo can spread
00:36:05.040 instantaneously to millions of people, often detached from their original context. In any case,
00:36:11.240 federal agents stormed my home, pointed guns at my wife and my dogs, and even set an amphibious
00:36:16.560 unit along with a SWAT team. James Comey again was allowed to turn himself in voluntarily and
00:36:22.520 in private. Now it seems as if he's being allowed to delay his trial. Motions for a delay in my
00:36:28.660 trial were of course denied. What exactly is going on here? Why is Comey, who played such a large
00:36:33.920 role in the Russiagate hoax, being given such an easy run of things? Meanwhile, President Donald
00:36:39.500 Trump issued a series of true social posts today trying to soothe investors and business leaders
00:36:44.900 who have recently been sounding the alarm on the dangers of artificial intelligence.
00:36:49.980 The president wrote on his true social feed yesterday concerning AI,
00:36:54.440 when in the history of business, did anyone see the leaders of an industry call for regulation
00:36:58.820 that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy?
00:37:04.320 Artificial intelligence taking over the world, destroying humanity, all these other things is a hoax,
00:37:09.980 the president said, no different than Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine,
00:37:15.780 impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two, and all the other hoaxes and scams 0.82
00:37:21.360 that America was forced to endure through the destructionists and the deviants foul play
00:37:25.920 and illegal conduct. President Xi of China just announced that China will be doing absolutely
00:37:31.660 nothing to stand in the way of their development of artificial intelligence or its future.
00:37:36.820 Google has recently stated they want to build a massive plan for AI in Finland,
00:37:41.620 all because they're finding permitting too difficult in the United States.
00:37:45.940 I'm not happy about this, and I want them to change their thinking.
00:37:49.160 Artificial intelligence and data centers will be the greatest economic development engine in the history of the country,
00:37:55.660 bigger than oil, gold, and diamonds, the president wrote, and even bigger than the Internet.
00:38:00.420 It will not be stopped by the brilliantly run destructive forces during the terms of President Donald J. Trump.
00:38:07.720 The president then wrote another post saying,
00:38:09.540 The people that say AI is going to destroy the world and the data centers are bad for your neighborhood
00:38:14.340 are the same people who said just a short time ago the world will be distinguished by the climate change hoax.
00:38:20.720 That hoax never worked out for them, and this one won't either.
