00:00:00.000 With a Subaru, you'll never run out of things to do this fall.

00:01:15.660 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone you are now entering the stone zone
00:01:25.020 Well, like many Americans, I'm in post-election shock.
00:01:29.720 Although the historical record will show that the party in power has always lost seats in the midterm elections,
00:01:37.380 I did think that there was some prospect for the Republicans to hold the Senate while losing the House.
00:01:43.000 That was the more likely result based on historical patterns.
00:01:47.620 But perhaps the election analysis of Vice President J.D. Vance should come first.
00:01:53.640 I had the privilege of traveling with the vice president to New York and Ohio this past Monday.
00:01:58.900 I'm increasingly impressed with him as a communicator, as a leader, as a man of principle.
00:02:04.940 Here's what he posted online.
00:02:07.000 One of the things the data analysis on our side observed over the composition of the election,
00:02:12.820 in other words, whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win,
00:02:17.600 and despite the polls showed a Democrat blowout, that data kept telling us the same story.
00:02:23.640 In some states, the turnout of our people was merely okay, but in other states, it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic.
00:02:33.420 There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team. Our people were showing up, a good sign.
00:02:39.360 So I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world?
00:02:44.840 No, he told me, we might be better, we might do better than the polls suggest,
00:02:49.460 but the data is telling us that a lot of the Trump-Vance 2024 voters are angry
00:02:54.800 and planning to vote for the other guys.
00:02:57.380 Our votes are turning out, but they are just not voting for us.
00:03:01.740 Well, that looks prophetic now.
00:03:03.980 Our voters did show up. 0.98
00:03:05.360 In Florida, for example, the electorate was nine points more Republican than Democrat,
00:03:09.940 just a couple points worse than it was in 2024.
00:03:12.420 Of course, as we now know, the Republican candidate for government, Byron Donalds, barely squeaked through, but he won, and a win is a win is a win.
00:03:21.460 Undoubtedly, there were places we could have done better on turnout, but the main problem was not turnout.
00:03:26.440 The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026, kind of a protest vote.
00:03:34.840 There'll be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is.
00:03:38.620 one of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn't sharp enough
00:03:43.300 down the stretch. I believe that that's true. I agree with that, by the way. But the real reason
00:03:48.380 we lost is obvious to almost anyone. Any pollster, another pollster, pardon me, one of the smartest
00:03:53.620 people I know in politics, again, this is J.D. Vance speaking, told me yesterday we'd lose the
00:03:58.980 generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even as I was shocked by this
00:04:05.240 In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 24 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats.
00:04:11.740 He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back to our team.
00:04:16.480 The top four answers, accounting for nearly all the responses, were, number one, end the war.
00:04:22.880 That's the war in Iran that they speak of.
00:04:25.340 Two, focus on the cost of living and inflation. 0.82
00:04:28.640 Three, put America first. 0.95
00:04:30.680 And four, change our relationship with Israel. 0.92
00:04:33.500 So our voters showed up, and the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats.
00:04:39.460 This is according to a pollster who nailed the results.
00:04:43.100 While many will spend today attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic relation to the conflict,
00:04:49.880 it turns out that her political advice was sound.
00:04:52.740 She's also a great person, according to J.D. Vance.
00:04:55.400 I've never met the woman, so I can't pass judgment on that. 1.00
00:04:58.940 In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting.
00:05:01.600 Expect to hear any number of establishment Republicans say the solution to our woes is amnesty for illegals.
00:05:08.040 I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for example.
00:05:14.400 But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
00:05:17.920 The real reason we lost is the war.
00:05:19.520 The president himself, President Trump, said it last night.
00:05:22.540 If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next six years was worth it, well, you can certainly do so.
00:05:28.300 argue that it was worthwhile cost to pay, agree or disagree. That's at least honest. But everyone
00:05:34.480 knows why we lost, and any conversation about where we go from here must start there.
00:05:39.240 I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are angry and want to say,
00:05:43.260 I told you so, you're right. You did tell us so. Take that energy and put it into electing
00:05:47.720 Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just angry at the results,
00:05:51.940 who should be, let's take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
00:05:56.440 So it's very clear J.D. Vance blames the war, really not just the war, but the resultant
00:06:01.680 increase in gas prices, food prices, housing prices, and the resultant inflation.
00:06:08.180 Let me remind you that in the first year of the Trump administration, gas prices dropped
00:06:12.420 below $3.
00:06:14.680 Food prices were on their way down.
00:06:16.620 They hadn't reached the depth they had in the last year of Trump's first term, but they
00:06:20.420 were certainly headed there.
00:06:21.820 and he was held back by a recalcitrant and totally politicized Federal Reserve board.
00:06:28.180 The economy could have boomed even more in the first year if Jerome Tuleau,
00:06:32.360 the lawyer posing as an economist who headed the Federal Reserve,
00:06:36.600 hadn't refused to cut interest rates.
00:06:38.440 The inflation rate and the unemployment rate,
00:06:41.560 the two measures that the Federal Reserve is supposed to use
00:06:44.840 in determining what interest rates should be,
00:06:46.940 more than merited a deeper cut, a deeper cut than they gave Joe Biden in an attempt to get him
00:06:52.940 reelected. But because Jerome Powell acted politically, as opposed to in best interests
00:06:58.400 of the country, Trump didn't get the interest rate that he deserved. And now that he has a
00:07:03.760 point, his appointee as the head of the Federal Reserve, inflation has risen because of the war
00:07:09.980 to a point where a deeper cut makes less sense. So it is, I think that's an excellent analysis.
00:07:16.480 is one that, frankly, I agree with. I'll take some plaque for it. You go to the fundamental
00:07:22.120 question of should the president have acted in the war as he did. It had to be a very difficult
00:07:28.480 decision. He was elected as an anti-war president, pledging to end the endless foreign wars of the
00:07:34.880 Bushes, the Cheneys, the Bidens, and the Obamas. We never put boots on the ground, but it is
00:07:40.700 absolutely clear that the president saw intelligence that convinced him that the Iranians were on the
00:07:45.860 verge of having a nuclear device. A nuclear device in which they could have blackmailed the United 0.97
00:07:49.480 States or basically destroyed us and the world. And therefore, he had to make a decision. Was he
00:07:55.140 going to be popular and win this election and ignore this danger to the country? Or was he
00:08:00.880 going to act and pay the political price? It's pretty clear to me that he acted and paid a
00:08:04.740 horrific political price. We'll talk about what the ramifications of that are. Democrats have now
00:08:10.920 secured projected majorities in both chambers after unexpectedly strong showings across
00:08:15.420 traditionally Republican territory around the country. J.D. Vance just explained to you why
00:08:19.860 that happened. The results hand them control of congressional committees, investigative hearings,
00:08:24.200 and the legislative calendar while placing immediate and severe obstacles in front of
00:08:28.120 President Trump's America First agenda. No one should pretend otherwise. This is a serious
00:08:33.160 setback. Republicans will spend the next two years fighting for the minority, and the opposition will
00:08:37.240 Use every procedural tool available to slow or block the priority voters elected by President Trump.
00:08:44.160 On the other hand, Trump has executive power, and it is enormous if he has people around him who know how to use it.
00:08:50.380 The practical response is to hunker down, prepare for sustained institutional resistance, and to fight.
00:08:55.180 The president used his retail power and his bully pulpit and his Justice Department to fight back against the illegal and unconstitutional efforts by the Democrats.
00:09:07.700 That doesn't mean we should despair or retreat from the fight.
00:09:10.700 It does mean recognizing that the margin for error just got much smaller and that every vote, every nomination, every spending fight will be contested.
00:09:18.480 This is also a good time to redouble your faith in Jesus Christ.
00:09:22.120 It's only through faith in Christ, not faith in the political process, that we'll navigate through this maelstrom.
00:09:27.400 See, the enemy wants us to give up.
00:09:29.020 Two years is a long time in politics. It's a lifetime.
00:09:31.800 But made in preparing for the next contest begins today.
00:09:35.620 America is a cause worth working for, no matter how daunting the odds may seem.
00:09:40.180 Keeping freedom is never easy.
00:09:41.480 Let us seize the moment and use it to flush the Republican Party of its establishment toxins.
00:09:47.920 President Trump responded to the midterm results by congratulating the Democrats
00:09:52.560 while pointing to the Iran conflict as a source of voter satisfaction,
00:09:56.120 confirming what his own vice president, J.D. Vance, said.
00:09:58.500 It's interesting, when Vance put out that tweet or that posting early this morning,
00:10:03.700 many supporters of Israel attacked him, but Donald Trump Jr. reposted it,
00:10:10.460 saying he agreed with it 100%.
00:10:12.620 So the notion that the vice president was undercutting the president is simply not true.
00:10:17.220 This is based on Trump's own comments.
00:10:20.020 He responded to the midterm elections again by pointing to the Iranian conflict as a source of voter dissatisfaction.
00:10:26.460 Speaking early Wednesday, he underscored that his veto power,
00:10:29.260 and he made it clear that he will block legislation he views as unacceptable.
00:10:34.340 J.D. Vance made that same assessment, stating that the war and the high gas prices accomplished it
00:10:38.760 contributed to Republican losses, as we say.
00:10:41.540 This is a much-needed reflection that must be done after an election that does not go your way.
00:10:45.620 There is real work to be done on message and priorities moving forward.
00:10:50.220 Soul searching inside the Republican Party is not optional if the goal is to reverse these losses rather than repeat them.
00:10:55.980 President Trump's insistence on the veto as a backstop is the correct immediate posture.
00:11:00.240 The longer task is to rebuild the coalition that delivered the 2024 mandate.
00:11:04.860 So the next two years of divided government do not become a permanent or even worse.
00:11:09.180 Democrats continue to make national gains until the DSA, the socialists, are actually in the White House.
00:11:15.620 Perhaps all the midterm results, the biggest shock came in Texas, although not to me, where Democrat James Tallarico, an extreme radical, defeated Ken Paxton, the sitting attorney general, and ended decades of Republican Senate control in the state.
00:11:30.340 This is really not surprising.
00:11:31.660 Paxton, who is a good man, who soundly defeated George P. Bush, the grandson of George H.W. Bush, and literally a dummy, in the Republican primary for attorney general two years ago, was undercut by Karl Rove and the Bush crime family and the other established Republicans who love Barack Obama and the new world order agenda.
00:11:52.780 Also not surprising, Democrats captured the Senate seat in South Carolina, a state carried by nearly 18 points in 2024, where they nominated Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene.
00:12:03.360 She was defeated by a far left anti-gun activist, Andy Andrews, who was beaten soundly for a House seat by Nancy Mace only two years ago.
00:12:14.120 Again, I think the appointment of or the selection of Darlene Graham was wrong.
00:12:20.260 They were stronger candidates. Congressman Russell Frye comes to mind.
00:12:24.880 But you can't cry over spilled milk. The Republicans will not lose South Carolina in the 2028 election.
00:12:31.940 But Graham, the assessment that Lindsey Graham was universally popular was incorrect.
00:12:38.240 Probably the most polarizing figure in the state as well as in the country.
00:12:41.660 Or that his sister was the strongest candidate was yet another mistake.
00:12:45.900 Democrats also flipped seats in Kansas. Big surprise there.
00:12:49.360 Iowa, Ohio, Maine, and North Carolina.
00:12:53.560 They held Georgia and Michigan
00:12:55.400 where the first Muslim U.S. senator,
00:12:58.200 Abdul El-Sayed, was elected.
00:13:01.940 Susan Collins lost her seat after nearly 30 years in Maine.
00:13:05.240 That really is a tragedy.
00:13:06.480 I know and like Susan Collins.
00:13:08.560 She and I are not the same kind of Republican,
00:13:10.880 but I'd rather have somebody who's with me 65% to 70% of the time
00:13:14.800 than somebody who's with me 0% of the time. 0.63
00:13:16.760 She's a fine lady. 0.95
00:13:17.940 She's a reasonable woman who would always listen to an argument.
00:13:22.380 Sherrod Byron returned to the Senate for six more years.
00:13:25.120 He'll be gone at the end of six years, having done incalculable damage to the country during his time in the U.S. Senate.
00:13:30.780 Kansas, as I say, elected its first Democratic senator in almost a century.
00:13:34.380 On the gubernatorial side, the Democrats took Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Nevada.
00:13:40.460 Some surprises there, particularly in Nevada, although, in all honesty, no great loss there over Joe Lombardo, who was a Republican in name only.
00:13:50.940 He hated Donald Trump, did very little for him to carry the state in the last presidential election.
00:13:56.860 Good riddance to him.
00:13:59.200 In the meantime, of course, one of the brightest spots is Florida, incredibly close, but Byron Donalds held on for a very narrow win.
00:14:07.520 I was kind of concerned late in the night when all the returns were in except for those in the
00:14:12.700 panhandle, the northern part and most conservative part of the state. The question was a simple one
00:14:18.960 in my mind. Would these extremely conservative white voters vote for a black Republican who is
00:14:24.460 married to a white woman? The answer was yes, which shows you that there was no racism at play,
00:14:30.380 and I find that very heartening. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to Stone Zone. Don't go away
00:14:34.640 because we'll be right back.
00:14:37.500 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative
00:14:40.820 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:14:53.660 This is the Stone Zone.
00:14:55.920 Now, get in the zone.
00:14:57.700 It's the Stone Zone.
00:14:59.500 A man who's gone through hell,
00:15:01.100 But he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
00:15:06.040 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:15:08.300 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:15:10.420 Here's Roger Stone.
00:15:12.860 And we're back in the Stone Zone, where we are sifting through the results of yesterday's catastrophic elections.
00:15:19.420 There are a few bright places. 0.93
00:15:21.800 Voters in four states, for example, passed measures designed to keep biological males out of girls' and women's sports. 0.87
00:15:28.400 Those states were Washington, Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska, some of which were not exactly conservative strongholds.
00:15:36.040 The outcomes cut against the assumption that every cultural fight has ever been lost to the progressively orthodoxy.
00:15:42.640 A large number of Americans, including places that have strong liberal majorities, still draw the line at male-bodied athletes competing in female categories.
00:15:51.740 This fact is inconvenient for the captured institutions that spent years threatening the issue as settled.
00:15:57.520 Democrats now hold both chambers and will be tempted to treat the midterm elections as a mandate to reverse our override of these state-level protections.
00:16:04.840 That's when Donald Trump will veto anything they pass.
00:16:07.540 Overreach on this issue has already cost them in prior election cycles.
00:16:10.660 Repeating the pattern while they control the legislative agenda would hand Republicans a ready-made argument for 2028. 1.00
00:16:18.380 The public could use a reminder of just how insane Democrats can be when it comes to gender insanity.
00:16:22.700 shows about 9% of the people in the country are concerned about this,
00:16:26.020 but they want you to have the right,
00:16:27.600 or they want your teachers and your schools to have a right,
00:16:29.640 to change the gender of your children through gender mutilation and drugs,
00:16:34.460 whether you like it or not. 0.75
00:16:36.320 If the new majority spends its political capital pushing for this evil nonsense, 0.99
00:16:39.980 like men in women's locker rooms, 0.98
00:16:41.680 or taxpayer money for transgender surgeries and treatment, 0.62
00:16:44.980 it will create openings needed for the Republicans to rebuild. 0.58
00:16:48.720 The radical Democrats attempted to hide their wokeism for one political cycle,
00:16:53.560 but once they have power, that facade will crack very, very quickly.
00:16:58.920 In the meantime, in the last two years,
00:17:01.120 I successfully advocated for pardons for the internet pioneer Ross Albrecht,
00:17:06.340 President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras,
00:17:09.160 who I believe was framed for narco-trafficking he was not involved in,
00:17:12.700 New York City Police Department hero Michael McMahon,
00:17:16.260 Judge Michelle Fiore, whose only crime was challenging the federal government during the Bundy scandal out in Nevada.
00:17:22.840 Governor Rob Blagojevich was railroaded to the Senate by Barack Obama because he refused orders to put Valerie Jarrett on the U.S. Senate.
00:17:31.000 And Sheriff Scott Howard Jenkins, who was framed in Culpeper.
00:17:36.220 I have absolute constitutional right to advocate for pardons for all these people, and there's no requirement that I file anywhere to do so.
00:17:44.360 But here's the most important point.
00:17:45.680 I was compensated zero for my efforts.
00:17:48.480 I was not paid for by anyone.
00:17:51.220 Now, Congressman Jamie Raskin says that I should be investigated.
00:17:54.700 He accepted a auto pen signed pardon for his involvement in the January 6th committee.
00:17:59.520 So I believe that he should be investigated.
00:18:01.600 Republicans on the committee have to ask him why he accepted that pardon, because the acceptance
00:18:06.180 of a pardon is an admission of guilt.
00:18:07.960 Now, I accepted my pardon quite candidly, simply because he didn't go to jail.
00:18:11.340 And I've written extensively about why I was actually framed.
00:18:14.180 So while technically you're accepting guilt when you accept the pardon, he can explain to us why he accepted the pardon for his activities on January 6th in the committee.
00:18:25.200 But while we're at it, there's some filings here on his financials that don't really add up.
00:18:29.820 So two can play this game if they want to abuse power.
00:18:34.480 Trust me, I have the resources and the public pulpit to fight back, and I will.
00:18:39.660 these people that I mentioned every one of them was unjustly convicted of a crime that they did
00:18:44.440 not commit and I'm proud that I stood up for them I received not a penny for doing so we'll be right
00:18:48.720 back the stone zone entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network
00:18:56.040 this is the stone zone
00:19:09.600 with Roger Stone. People love him and respect him. Roger Stone. Now, get in the zone. It's
00:19:16.020 the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone. And we're back in the Stone Zone after a shocking American
00:19:32.320 election day. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis describing the Republican losses in the 2026
00:19:38.200 midterms as close to an extinction level event for the party in many parts of the country
00:19:43.300 compared the results to a meteor strike that hit blue states red states and everything in between
00:19:48.760 DeSantis attempts to take credit for the victory of Byron Donalds when in fact DeSantis would not
00:19:54.560 appear with cut a tv commercial or radio commercial with with uh with uh Byron Donalds until he
00:20:01.860 actually appeared with him once in the final day so Byron Donalds is responsible for Byron
00:20:07.060 Donald's victory not Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is finishing his second and final terms been widely
00:20:12.720 discussed as a 2028 presidential contender hoping the public forgets not only his previous run but
00:20:18.920 a massive scandal in Florida in which he and his wife and their then chief of staff who's now the
00:20:24.780 newly elected attorney general essentially stole 10 million dollars from Medicare that's money that
00:20:31.200 It was earmarked for the poor, the elderly, and the handicapped, and diverted it to a dark money political account where they used it to fight constitutional amendments that were on the ballot.
00:20:42.420 That is illegal under both state and federal law.
00:20:46.320 It's interesting that the man who moved the money, James Uthmeyer, was elected very narrowly as attorney general, and the state attorney general who said it was legal when it was not, Ashley Moody, was elected to the U.S. Senate.
00:20:59.540 If Ron runs for president, this scandal makes one hell of a TV commercial because it shows that he's a thief and so is his wife.
00:21:07.440 He really is not going to be a viable 2028 president's tender, and I'll tell you why.
00:21:13.220 Among other things, he demonstrated that he has no character.
00:21:16.140 He was elevated to the governorship by one man, Donald J. Trump.
00:21:19.860 He was an unknown congressman with a bad haircut and a poorly cut suit, running in single digits without a farthing in his campaign war chest.
00:21:29.340 until Donald Trump decided to endorse him.
00:21:32.080 His candidacy then took off like a rocket.
00:21:34.500 He easily won the Republican primary,
00:21:36.200 but then he was running behind Andrew Gillum,
00:21:38.960 the Democrat nominee,
00:21:40.380 later arrested and embarrassed
00:21:42.540 in a major sex and drug scandal.
00:21:46.400 Nonetheless, President Donald Trump
00:21:48.380 changed his schedule three times
00:21:50.780 in the last two weeks
00:21:52.360 to come back to Florida
00:21:53.780 to literally drag charisma-challenged Ron DeSantis
00:21:57.820 over the finish line. He won by 25,000 votes out of 8.9 million cast. So you would think that he
00:22:06.120 would have, among other things, gratitude. But what he seems to lack is any self-awareness or
00:22:10.460 gratitude proven by the fact that DeSantis challenged Trump in what was a personal betrayal.
00:22:15.300 He owed his entire political stardom to Trump and then stabbed him directly in the back like
00:22:19.740 Brutus in an opportune time when pimping himself out for the globalist establishment donor money.
00:22:24.920 Yes, the neocons, the Bushes, those who all opposed Trumpism, they all ponied up.
00:22:29.780 But most of the money was money that he extorted from those in Florida who had no choice.
00:22:35.320 So those in the casinos, those in the utilities industry, those in the insurance industry, all had to pony up for Ron DeSantis.
00:22:44.800 It's why we're paying the high electricity costs in the country.
00:22:48.040 It's why we have the highest housing costs in the country.
00:22:50.420 It's why we have, in Florida, the highest insurance rates in the country.
00:22:54.840 The governor is hoping he'll forget all that.
00:22:58.100 It could not have been less trustworthy as the governor with this outgoing Hope Foundation scandal,
00:23:04.880 which I spoke to, where a grand jury found, as I said before,
00:23:08.500 the top administration officials at his direction, the direction of he and his wife,
00:23:12.840 diverted $10 million from Medicaid into a non-profit tied to the governor's wife,
00:23:17.560 with the funds later moved into Republican political accounts.
00:23:21.320 DeSantis essentially used the health care money as a political slush fund.
00:23:24.820 He wants to sweep all that under the rug.
00:23:26.880 We at the Stone Zone will never relent.
00:23:29.080 Ron DeSantis will never be president.
00:23:31.240 He's Ted Cruz with 10% less charm and 40% less hype.
00:23:35.520 Trump loyalist Byron Donalds will make the people of Florida forget about Ron DeSantis in no time.
00:23:41.020 Meanwhile, let's recognize what is afoot in Washington now that the Democrats control both houses.
00:23:46.620 They see an opportunity for their orange revolution.
00:23:49.440 Pentagon sources have told the UK Daily Mail that inside the Department of War, there is a cabal afoot to lay the groundwork for the impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
00:24:00.060 There's a small group that for the last 22 months has been compiling internal emails, memos and meeting notes, all of which they intend to leak.
00:24:07.520 The files allegedly detail times that they say the defense secretary and his inner circle allegedly ignored strategic and legal device, berated the experts who gave it, withheld information from Congress and the public, and threatened the careers of subordinates who either challenged his decisions or struck him as too woke, too fat, queer, or disloyal.
00:24:28.280 So in other words, if you thought that we should continue the DEI policies of our Pentagon, you want to see our generals and admirals wearing skirts, and you weren't interested in our military being a lethal force that we need to defend the country as well as abroad, if you oppose the reform of our military, but he segseth, they of course say that you're the one who do something wrong.
00:24:54.000 Those planning against the Secretary of War figure the paper trail plus the list of potential witnesses from inside the department will come in handy now that the Democrats have retaken the House and the Senate as expected and they will open an impeachment investigation in 2027.
00:25:09.900 We're ready with their seats, said a longtime Army officer who keeps a trapper keeper, one of the daughter's high school binder, double locked in his basement gun safe. Inside, he says, her documents, he believes, could only one day bring down his boss. One of several Defense Department insiders who described these coordinated plans as an illegal coup to hand paper trails and personal accounts to lawmakers into investigating possibly a beach and headset. That's the game plan.
00:25:33.980 All, of course, insisted on anonymity, fearing for their jobs, actually fearing prosecution for treason, military pensions, and their ability to build a case from the inside.
00:25:42.580 We're sticking our necks out. You've got to protect us, one pleaded.
00:25:45.900 This comes as news broke Wednesday that Hegseth had fired the Pentagon's top military plano, Army Lieutenant General Brent Sylvia.
00:25:54.040 Now, here is the point, of course, those defending Sylvia.
00:25:56.920 Sylvia leaked classified information about the war in Iran, as well as the war between Russia and China,
00:26:03.740 just as President Trump was considering new strikes on Iran following next week's midterm elections.
00:26:08.720 Leaking military documents is treasonous.
00:26:11.440 There is no defense for Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia.
00:26:14.420 He should just be fired. He should be court-martialed.
00:26:16.460 I'm not sure what people are thinking here.
00:26:18.180 Since early 2025, the UK Daily Mail has been in close contact with this core group of military and civilian Pentagon insiders
00:26:25.920 who, among others in the department, have tried in various ways to blow the whistle on Pete Kegseth.
00:26:31.080 The former Fox and Friend host has rebranded the federal government's biggest agency,
00:26:34.820 the Department of War, and they say runs it like a personal fiefdom.
00:26:38.200 No, he's against their DEI policies and their efforts to weaken our military.
00:26:42.840 Do you know we have more generals today, or did until recently, than we had during World War II?
00:26:47.320 The fact that the Daily Mail published this gives President Trump and his DOJ time to get ready 1.00
00:26:52.420 to go after each and every one of these disgusting, leaking, traitorous scumbags. 1.00
00:26:59.080 Unfortunately, I believe this coup attempt is part of a larger attempt to take over our world 0.99
00:27:03.260 and to force our pro-nationalist governments worldwide.
00:27:08.160 That leads me to our next story about attacks against populist leaders in Europe.
00:27:12.800 It's kind of interesting, in conjunction with the plotted coup of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, 0.63
00:27:17.340 European countries that do not allow mass Muslim immigration have been oddly active in the last several days, arresting, attacking all legitimate political opposition to mass immigration, attempting to be forced on them by the European Union.
00:27:31.560 Romania, Poland, and Hungary are all coming under fire. 0.64
00:27:35.400 It's not coincidental that those three countries, Romania, Poland, and Hungary, do not allow a Muslim immigration. 0.99
00:27:41.780 They also have the lowest crime rates and the safest conditions in all of Europe. 1.00
00:27:46.940 Is that coincidental? I don't think so.
00:27:50.420 Poland's left-wing Prime Minister Donald Tusk attempted a judicial coup,
00:27:55.180 waiting until the popularly elected president was out of time,
00:27:58.540 trying to swear in constitutional jurists and remove opposing jurists
00:28:02.580 before ordering them to remove the president, who was out of the country,
00:28:07.020 and blocking access to the Constitutional Tribunal.
00:28:10.360 Polish President Karol Noraki was headed overseas to Senegal
00:28:14.000 before he turned to Poland whilst over Spain.
00:28:16.800 He promptly confronted the police and stopped the coup.
00:28:19.700 Poland had been viewed as a conservative stronghold in Europe
00:28:23.080 and within the European right on this rise.
00:28:25.600 This action could be a prelude to attempted voter tanks
00:28:30.500 to retain European political action.
00:28:34.020 The EU is desperate to make these three countries
00:28:38.280 accept unlimited Muslim population.
00:28:41.080 I was on with Patrick Bette David last night
00:28:43.920 Piers Morgan came on. He keeps insisting that the idea that Britain or Europe have been the targets of invasions, he says it's simply not true. It's simply not true. And I asked him, why were 68,000 people charged and jailed last year for things that they posted on social media that criticized radical Islam's presence in the country?
00:29:05.920 so if you suspended the the right of free speech you've suspended the right of of of uh guaranteed
00:29:13.200 under the maga carta but you you suspend it at the same time you're selling these people shouldn't
00:29:19.080 be allowed to tweet but there's nothing for them to tweet about because you say that the invasion
00:29:23.380 is simply not true peers we watch television we can see what's happening in France we can see
00:29:28.700 what's happening in Germany we can see what's happening in Ireland we can see what's happening
00:29:32.680 in the UK. So should we believe what we see with our own eyes, or should we believe
00:29:37.700 Piers Morgan? I think that it is not coincidental that the same people who see weakness out on
00:29:46.480 Donald Trump are pushing the globalist agenda. You also see this in Romania. A Romanian court
00:29:51.720 has extended the pretrial detention of conservative politician Kalin Georgescu for 30 days in
00:29:57.340 investigation to an alleged $1.1 million fraud case. The case is a fraud, is a frame job. Why?
00:30:04.660 Because they know if Ceaușescu is put on the ballot as a candidate for president, he will win.
00:30:09.180 The last time he was headed to victory, they called off the entire election because they knew
00:30:12.780 he was going to win. The decision by the Bucharest Court of Appeal overturned an October 13th ruling
00:30:18.700 by a lower court that ordered that the pro-Russian frontrunner, Romania's canceled 2024 presidential
00:30:24.880 selection, be moved from police custody to house arrest for 30 days, pending the fraud probe. By
00:30:30.520 the way, the claim that he is pro-Russian, I dispute. Georgescu denied any wrongdoing, claimed
00:30:35.660 the investigations were completely and totally politically motivated. So this is yet another
00:30:40.420 example of the persecution based on policy. Much like Poland and Romania, of course, they seek to 0.92
00:30:47.120 crush the opposition and the nationalists in Hungary, the only one of the other third European
00:30:53.960 countries that does not allow Muslim immigration. It is interesting that with the exit of Viktor
00:31:01.120 Orban, the inevitable destruction of Hungary, as we see in these other European countries,
00:31:06.440 is inevitable. So the globalists are making their move. They're making their move in the
00:31:10.860 United States on Donald Trump, where they tend to use their newfound power. You also have the
00:31:18.880 exposing of the fact that those who engaged in the tsunami of lawfare against Donald Trump
00:31:25.320 intend to do so again. Norm Eisen and Mark Elias, two criminals who orchestrated the Russian 0.50
00:31:31.800 collusion hoax, the two phony impeachments, the so-called documents case, which they raided
00:31:38.180 Mar-a-Lago, the tsunami of lawfare against Donald Trump in New York State. Those guys have set up a
00:31:43.500 new organization, the Democracy Defenders Action Forward, and they're hiring lawyers to execute
00:31:48.920 their plan to take down Donald Trump with an advertised salary of $85,000 to $140,000 a year.
00:31:55.660 Eisen and his co-founder served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during Trump's
00:32:00.420 first impeachment. His organization is now recruiting for the years the new Congress takes
00:32:05.460 action. I'm not a lawyer, but I could write the criminal indictment for Norm Eisen. It's not very
00:32:09.980 clear why he hasn't been prosecuted. This new organization advertises its investigative legal
00:32:15.660 and communications work that could supply future confrontation. It is the preparation of yet
00:32:21.700 another impeachment effort which I predict to you is coming. A separate document shows that this
00:32:26.640 news organization already joined other advocacy groups and urging Congress to prepare investigations
00:32:31.380 and deepen its relationship with outside organizations. Eisen is a liar and he's a con 0.99
00:32:36.500 man his his colleague Mark Elias he got caught in the in the phony to Dan Sullivan's scam in 0.99
00:32:44.680 Alaska where Eisen's law firm and the members of the staff of the Democratic candidate Congresswoman
00:32:51.960 Nancy Peltola I think I got that right went out and recruited a guy named Dan Sullivan to put his
00:32:59.660 name on the ballot to confuse people between the Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and the
00:33:07.500 non-existent Dan Sullivan, who by the way went MIA as soon as he was publicly exposed. So Elias is
00:33:15.420 involved here in an illegal action. Unfortunately, a D.C. judge, a D.C. magistrate, no, a D.C. judge
00:33:21.980 already dismissed any legal charges. You see, the reason that criminals like Eisen and Elias and
00:33:27.760 Norm and Andrew Weissman continue to act with impunity and break the law in the Constitution
00:33:33.680 is because they know that no judge in New York or D.C. will ever uphold the law, which
00:33:40.220 is why I think there is great, great danger.
00:33:43.140 And then additionally, Michigan Senator Elisa Slotkin, former CIA operative, you remember
00:33:50.980 her.
00:33:51.620 She's the one who said that members of the military should ignore orders from the commander
00:33:57.080 in chief.
00:33:57.520 When we come back, we'll talk to you about what Senator Slotkin is up to right here in The Stone Zone.
00:34:02.800 The Stone Zone.
00:34:04.800 Entertaining and informative.
00:34:06.840 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:34:20.180 This is The Stone Zone.
00:34:22.620 Now, get in the zone.
00:34:24.520 It's The Stone Zone.
00:34:26.060 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
00:34:33.620 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:34:36.060 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:34:38.360 Here's Roger Stone.
00:34:43.520 And we're back in the Stone Zone, kind of breathlessly trying to tell you what's coming up.
00:34:48.320 It is the third attempt to dunk Donald Trump.
00:34:50.680 They tried twice before.
00:34:52.340 First, they tried through Russian collusion hoax and the two phony impeachments.
00:34:56.240 Then, of course, when he tried to make a comeback, an effort to put him in jail, keep him off the ballot, break him financially,
00:35:04.200 even raiding his home in Mar-a-Lago to try to get back the documents that were approved that the Russian collusion hoax was exactly that.
00:35:11.220 Now, Michigan Senator Lisa Slotkin, who was actually a CIA operative, has been caught on a certificate,
00:35:18.640 admitting that they are preparing to do it all again.
00:35:21.500 While campaigning last Thursday for a congressional candidate, she dished up what she has up her sleeves, according to an undercover video obtained exclusively by the folks at Town Hall.
00:35:31.720 Slotkin says, I'm worried we're going to be too nice, the person said to Slotkin in the video, triggering a smirk from Senator.
00:35:37.240 What are we going to do to hold the Trump regime and its collaborators responsible?
00:35:40.860 I'm talking prosecution, the person continued.
00:35:43.500 I'm with you, Slotkin's response.
00:35:45.340 So basically, assuming we win both houses, which we have, we'll come up with a list of like these signature cases.
00:35:51.840 So the thing is, it's like egregious, such a violation of law, such corruption cases.
00:35:56.480 We'll have in every committee where there'll be signature cases where we can hold Trump, his family, and those he appointed accountable.
00:36:04.840 This is their plan for the coup.
00:36:07.260 Slotkin continued, I just went to Hungary.
00:36:09.320 I went over to Budapest in Hungary because we got rid of their authoritarian leader of 16 years.
00:36:13.980 No, Senator, you got rid of the elected leader who would not allow Muslim, unlimited Muslim immigration.
00:36:21.080 The Michigan Senator said they were seeking advice on how to go after the Trump administration.
00:36:25.900 I'm like, how did you handle 16 years of corruption?
00:36:28.980 We don't have that much, but we have so much, she said.
00:36:33.160 And they said this signature case strategy worked for them.
00:36:36.720 So we've talked about the coup going on at the Pentagon.
00:36:39.540 We've talked about the coup going on through Lawfare,
00:36:43.100 through the usual suspects, Norm Eisman and Mark Elias.
00:36:46.800 And now you have the three leg of the coup.
00:36:50.420 This one is the one that Elisa Slotkin, former CIA analyst, 1.00
00:36:54.620 she's quite literally still working for the CIA. 1.00
00:36:57.100 Working for the CIA is kind of like being in the mafia.
00:36:59.280 Once you're in, you're in.
00:37:01.000 This is a worldwide coup, and it's happening right here before our very eyes.
00:37:05.640 Be prepared for it, because it is, well, undoubtedly coming, and those who have power intend to use it.
00:37:15.060 Now, Donald Trump needs to fight back.
00:37:17.140 He has the veto power, so I don't think there's any real danger of them passing crazy legislation.
00:37:21.600 He will simply veto it.
00:37:23.300 They can impeach him in the House, but I do not think that they can get a two-thirds majority, even with a Democrat majority.
00:37:30.440 On the other hand, he has the Justice Department.
00:37:32.700 I can name you members of Congress in both houses whose illegal actions are egregious, whose financial actions are egregious.
00:37:40.180 All one has to do is to investigate them and rightfully charge them.
00:37:44.580 I'm not talking about setting anybody up or framing them.
00:37:47.420 I'm talking about truth and reality.
00:37:49.420 It's not about retaliation and revenge.
00:37:51.760 It is about accountability and justice.
00:37:54.720 Trump is a fighter.
00:37:55.660 It may take some time for him to find his feet here because this election result is so surprising.
00:38:02.700 But in the end of the day, executive power is incredible in this country.
00:38:06.980 It has only increased in the last 20 years, and the president now gets to use it.
00:38:11.440 And for those who were trying to drive a wedge between him and his vice president,
00:38:15.060 because the vice president, we talked about this at the top of the show,
00:38:18.580 has correctly identified the disproportionate influence of Israel on our foreign policy 0.97
00:38:24.160 and our pursuing a war that was going to be politically unpopular, turned out to be right.
00:38:29.940 but the fact that Donald Trump Jr. reposted those comments
00:38:34.140 and said he agreed 100% show that
00:38:36.160 all they're doing here is dealing with reality
00:38:38.460 doesn't mean by the way the president shouldn't have done it
00:38:40.820 he did it for the right reasons
00:38:42.700 but the political cost of it has been extraordinary
00:38:45.740 I'm Roger Stone, thanks for joining us today
00:38:48.780 in the Stone Zone as I recover from these election results
00:38:51.920 we'll be back tomorrow with more analysis
00:38:54.880 and talk about the plot, the Orange Revolution
00:38:57.680 that is afoot to once again try to destroy Donald Trump and take control of the country.
00:39:02.940 Don't miss us tomorrow. We'll be right back.
