00:02:11.660The Wall Street Journal is now reporting that the U.S. Justice Department is investigating former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
00:02:22.060Very specifically investigating Lewandowski regarding his de facto service as the chief of staff to former director of the Department of Homeland Security, Christy Noem, for whom he was quite obviously also a lover.
00:02:39.920I have my own experience with Mr. Lewandowski. I actually recommended that he be hired in 2015 when I was a consultant to President Donald Trump's first presidential campaign.
00:02:53.720Within about two weeks, Lewandowski was recommending to the candidate that I be dismissed.
00:03:00.420I actually resigned from that campaign because I had just finished writing my book,
00:03:05.480Clinton's War on Women, which is the definitive story of the epic corruption of Bill and Hillary
00:03:13.220Clinton. And frankly, life was too short to be in a campaign with somebody like Corey Lewandowski.
00:03:19.000I gave a record number of speeches, campaigned very hard for Donald Trump in 2016, again in 2020, and of course in 2024.
00:03:31.480So I can't say that I'm unhappy about this, but I had heard from a number of reporters and others that Lewandowski was blatant in his shakedowns of vendors
00:03:43.660who had multi-million dollar contracts with the Department of Human Services.
00:03:50.120In the meantime, however, the continued controversy over Ilhan Omar,
00:03:57.220she's now saying that she had no knowledge regarding her ex-husband's first interview regarding his naturalization.
00:04:08.700Representative Ilhan Omar did herself no favors actually speaking out about the ongoing controversies
00:04:14.640Omar shockingly told the somewhat effeminate MSNBC reporter Chris Hayes that she is not to my
00:04:22.460knowledge related to her former husband Ahmed Nur Said Elmi when asked about long-standing
00:04:29.280allegations that she had in fact married her own brother she's also called the claims insane
00:04:35.360trace their origins to a Somali blog post later amplified by critics and says she does not know
00:04:41.740the people who allegedly heard her introduce Elmi as her brother. It seems to me that a simple
00:04:48.280DNA test will be able to determine the truth of this matter. But what I find somewhat interesting
00:04:54.380is the media outrage, particularly the others at CNN, who were so upset when the Department of
00:05:00.440Homeland Security raided her home at six o'clock in the morning, ordered, of course, approved by a federal judge.
00:05:07.920Those same talking heads weren't too upset when 29 heavily armed FBI agents brandishing fully automatic assault weapons surrounded and then stormed my home at six o'clock in the morning back in 2019.
00:05:23.900Arresting me for a first time nonviolent process crime of allegedly lying to Congress.
00:05:30.440a crime for which virtually no one has ever been prosecuted. It's interesting, of course,
00:05:36.460because normally what would happen in this kind of event is that the prosecutors would simply
00:05:41.980contact your attorney. They certainly were in touch with my lawyer. My lawyer, the day before
00:05:46.880I was arrested in the Russian collusion hoax, had turned over some 30 text messages proving that the
00:05:53.680government's chief witness, Randy Credico, was lying and that I was telling the truth. But rather
00:05:59.140than look at the content of those text messages, well, as most people know, I was arrested with
00:06:05.240CNN 25 feet from my front door. Those same people now seem to be very upset by the early morning
00:06:13.620raid, which Omar claims was designed to intimidate her and says she can no longer live at the
00:06:19.080residence because of death threats. I can tell you all about death threats. My family and I have
00:06:24.420received them since 2019 and it continues even today. Omar has denied the marriage fraud
00:06:32.560allegations for years despite overwhelming evidence that she did in fact marry her own
00:06:37.940brother for purposes of immigration fraud. The raid has renewed public attention to Omar's trashy,
00:06:44.700scandalous, low IQ, third world hood rat behavior. Her response that she's not related to Elmaya0.97
00:06:52.320to her knowledge only shows that she's feeling the heat. She either is or is not related to the
00:06:59.420man who was her first husband. DOJ has Omar right where they want her. The era of America is getting0.97
00:07:05.920snookered by repugnant Somalis is coming to an abrupt end. And frankly, once we finish delving1.00
00:07:12.000into the circumstances under which she was a naturalized citizen, we'll start to look at how
00:07:18.140she has become so incredibly wealthy. When she first entered Congress, her disclosure forms
00:07:24.800showed that she was virtually indigent. Today, she and her husband are worth millions of dollars.
00:07:31.300We'll be following this story very closely right here in the Stone Zone. Meanwhile, the Supreme
00:07:36.400Court shamefully refused on Wednesday to allow the Trump administration to admittedly enforce a
00:07:42.200Bureau of Prisons policy restricting gender transition-related medical treatments and
00:07:48.000accommodations for inmates. Staunchly conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
00:07:54.240publicly dissented from the order. The policy essentially would prohibit specific hormone
00:07:59.480treatment surgeries and appearance-related accommodations, such as clothing or hair
00:08:04.740removal devices, while still permitting psychiatric services. More than 2,000 transgendered
00:08:10.680individuals were recorded in federal correctional facilities and halfway houses in 2025. Three
00:08:17.660inmates challenged the policy in a class action suit after it reversed prior Bureau of Prison
00:08:24.060Practices. So federal taxpayers are being required to fund elective medical interventions for
00:08:30.700convicted criminals while the administration's attempt to halt this practice is blocked. The
00:08:35.780policy, preserved mental health services, and focused on surgical and hormonal interventions.
00:08:42.800Thomas and Alito were correct, in my opinion, to dissent. A system that continues these treatments
00:08:48.080inside prisons, while medical costs soar for the average citizen, is a slap in the face to every
00:08:55.200American. To me, there's no excuse not to end these practices right now, not to keep them going
00:09:00.620for god knows how long as the left plays law fair games in the courts this is not why president
00:09:09.100trump nominated gorsuch kavanaugh or coney barrett gorsuch generally has been pretty good the other
00:09:14.920two have been a major embarrassment essentially bush republicans which is to say not republicans
00:09:21.220at all they've done all of us a great disservice with this decision and their incomprehensible0.76
00:09:26.120decision to continue to protect transgender lunacy and surgery at taxpayer expense. Meanwhile,0.69
00:09:34.920President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that companies building large artificial intelligence
00:09:40.240data centers should pay a financial dividend to the surrounding communities or individual residents
00:09:46.980if they warrant the projects to be accepted. As I have noted numerous times, these data centers can
00:09:53.340be built without the use of local water. There are a number of cooling technologies which do not
00:10:00.140deplete the local water supply. They can also be built without tapping into the grid, meaning there
00:10:06.880are multiple technologies that are closed loop to produce the energy necessary to fuel the data
00:10:14.540center. In Florida, that's exactly what the Republican candidate for governor, Byron Donalds,
00:10:20.940has made a requirement for anyone who wants to develop a data center in the Sunshine State.
00:10:27.100President Trump also restated his demand that new and large data centers, therefore, must generate their own electricity
00:10:34.060or give or sell any excess power to the local community or grid,
00:10:40.180arguing that that would prevent the price increases and might even lower some household bills.
00:10:45.560The truth is these data centers also should allow local governments to cut local taxes.
00:10:51.980Data center construction has faced growing opposition, mostly because of disinformation regarding electricity consumption, water use, land requirements, and potential effects on utility costs.
00:11:05.180It's amazing how a number of the non-governmental organizations and non-profits who are pushing this seem to be funded by communist China.
00:11:17.000Why do the communists want to take a lead for data centers and scare the American people about the job-creating aspects of data centers,
00:11:27.000as well as the fact is they do not need to use local water or local electricity?
00:11:32.180electricity. Big tech has done themselves no favors and have attempted to muscle them through
00:11:37.080without public input. I think the whole thing requires far more education. President Trump's
00:11:42.980approach treats the political reality of these projects very directly. So in other words,
00:11:47.700communities that host them absorb real costs in power, water, and infrastructure. In those
00:11:53.080instances, developers have to compensate residents and produce their own electricity,
00:11:57.400shifting those costs back onto the companies that profit from the facilities
00:12:02.360rather than onto rate payers who never asked for the data centers.
00:12:06.960If the data centers are the profit center I believe there will be
00:12:10.680and the AI or SI boom is legitimate, this really shouldn't be a problem.
00:12:18.800Now it's time, in my view, for big tech to do the right thing by these communities
00:12:22.540and show that they're in humanity's corner by sharing the wealth.
00:12:26.740The other great opposition has to do with noise, but there are a number of technologies for noise abatement as well.
00:12:35.840Otherwise, populist anger against data centers will only continue to eat up based largely on disinformation.
00:12:43.420Elon Musk acknowledged Tuesday that combining Tesla and SpaceX would be a great idea and confirmed that both companies have established special committees of independent directors to explore a potential merger.
00:12:58.860Musk stated that he's excluded from the committee's deliberations because of his position at both firms.
00:13:04.600SpaceX shares rose approximately 8% in extended trading immediately after Elon's remarks.
00:13:15.380Analysts estimate that combined businesses would be worth approximately $3.5 trillion,
00:13:22.400spanning electric vehicles, rockets, satellites, artificial intelligence, robotics, and defense technology.
00:13:30.300Musk noted that any deal would require approval from a majority of all current Tesla shareholders, so this could be a lengthy process before the merger ultimately goes through.
00:13:41.980The scale of this contemplated combination is really quite extraordinary.
00:13:47.700A merged entity would control major positions in terrestrial electrical vehicles,
00:13:53.420in robotics along orbital launch capacity, satellite networks,
00:13:58.680and other related artificial intelligence infrastructure.
00:14:02.680Musk has cited synergies in superintelligence software, chip design, robotics,
00:14:08.760and space-based data centers as the rationale for a potential merger.
00:14:14.920This would allow him to shape the future.
00:14:17.340That notion puts fear in the hearts of liberals and Luddites, and perhaps it should.
00:14:22.960Musk is using technology to empower, not to enslave, humanity.
00:14:27.240What he's done for the advancement of the human race, what he's done for free speech and the First Amendment,
00:14:33.340including of course his help for President Trump achieving a historic re-election in 2024
00:14:39.000is already unparalleled. A better world is on the horizon and Tesla-SpaceX merger would ensure that
00:14:47.880utopia is realized before the globalist technology snuffs out our freedoms forever.
00:14:55.200Meanwhile lawmakers and party insiders have described a range of actions that Democrats
00:15:00.840could pursue if they regain the House and potentially the Senate.
00:15:04.960They make no bones whatsoever that we're going to go into a cataclysm of investigations,
00:15:11.720most of them fraudulent, in a campaign of revenge and retaliation.
00:15:18.280They have no plan to better America, to create jobs, bring down gas prices or food prices.
00:15:25.140I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to Stone Zone. We'll be right back.
00:15:28.620The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.
00:15:45.180This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:15:49.000Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.
00:15:53.080Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
00:15:57.220Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.
00:16:03.340Welcome back into the Stone Zone. Lawmakers and party insiders in the Democrat Party are now describing a range of actions Democrats could pursue if they regain the House and potentially the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections.
00:16:16.500These include congressional investigations into the Trump family finances, peering into his cryptocurrency dealings and pushing the Epstein hoax even further.
00:16:25.060Although the more they dig into Epstein, the more they're going to find Bill Clinton, the Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former Democrat Governor Bill Richardson, and, of course, Democrat super donor Bill Gates, along, of course, with Steve Bannon.
00:16:41.100It's also speculated that the Democrats would begin impeachment efforts against H.H. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth.
00:16:52.280Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said the party intends to block Trump's judicial and
00:16:57.440cabinet nominees, including Supreme Court picks. This is interesting because if you look at the
00:17:02.800Supreme Court nominations by Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Republicans did their duty by voting in
00:17:09.440favor of confirming justices that they disagreed with philosophically, but could find no ethical
00:17:16.180issues, which is the only basis on which a senator is supposed to oppose a nomination.
00:17:21.020Other priorities from the Democrats include challenges to tariffs, food stamp changes, military spending, the Iran conflict, and the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, plus legislation addressing data center electricity costs and artificial intelligence liability.
00:17:38.240It will be obstruction fever for Democrats who are brimming with rage over President Trump's continued achievements.
00:17:44.060They have, again, no positive plan to bring down food prices, no positive plan for energy
00:17:49.940independence, no positive plan to bring down gasoline prices. Essentially, it's all a negative
00:17:55.960agenda. The Democratic House would control subpoena power and committee agendas. Even without0.98
00:18:01.600veto-proof majorities, the party could force prolonged investigations, delay confirmations,
00:18:06.800and attach conditions to must-pass spending bills. Internal divisions and the president's
00:18:12.780veto authority would limit legislative success, yet the shift in investigative power alone would
00:18:17.500alter the political environment for the remainder of Trump's terms. That is, of course, what's at
00:18:22.620stake in the upcoming elections. Democrats could do very serious damage to the magna legacy in the
00:18:27.960future of our country. The stakes should be the impetus for every red-blooded American to get out
00:18:32.700there and rally people to vote. It's only a matter of common sense. But I will say this for the
00:18:37.740Democrats, at least they don't hide their agenda. Whether it is Senator Slotkin or Joaquin Jeffries,
00:18:45.180as I like to call him, all they're interested in is revenge and retaliation. They have no positive
00:18:50.140plan to help save the country. That's what's at stake at these elections. But for those who think
00:18:56.100these elections are over or the victory's in the bag for the Democrats, not so fast. American
00:19:02.280electorate is extraordinarily volatile. The Republicans, I think, are waging an extraordinarily
00:19:07.540valiant effort. President Trump has hit 32 states or districts on the stump, or he will before
00:19:14.600Election Day, and yesterday announced that he would be spending at least $400 million on what
00:19:20.960could be a historic effort. I haven't given up the hope on either House of Congress, and either
00:19:26.360should you. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone. Don't go away, because we'll be
00:19:30.740right back. The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative. On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:19:48.300This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone. Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest
00:19:54.520political minds. Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant,
00:19:58.860brilliant political analyst. Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.
00:20:06.280Welcome back into the Stone Zone. Well, the American Dr. Mengele, Dr. Anthony Fauci's
00:20:12.960private diary entries and discussions revealed that he acknowledged elevated myocarditis risk
00:20:20.800for younger men from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, yet pushed for universal adult booster eligibility
00:20:28.240back in November of 2021. He wrote that the administration should, quote,
00:20:33.740push the booster on every adult in America, despite concerns about myocarditis in younger men,
00:20:40.700prioritizing a clear public message centered around engineering widespread compliance
00:20:46.160over accurately relaying the emergency safety data from the American people.
00:20:51.720In late January of 2021, Fauci, the CDC director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy discussed the theoretical possibility that fever and cytokine responses after a second dose could be associated with miscarriages in the first trimester.
00:21:11.520No public warnings followed these private exchanges, however.
00:21:15.400Pregnant women hadn't been excluded from the pivotal trials.
00:21:18.680The FDA later revised the vaccination fact sheets to reflect myocarditis signals, and the CDC's advisory committee reviewed the issue in June of 2021, identifying adolescent and young adult males as the highest risk groups after vaccination.
00:21:38.440But by then, of course, the damage had already been done, and Fauci is the culprit.
00:21:43.440Young men and pregnant women received no timely, clear disclosure of the differential risks that Fauci and other officials had already discussed privately and internally.
00:21:56.060This is one of the worst public health failures in history and constitutes a crime against humanity.
00:22:02.500The auto-penn pardon must be reversed and Dr. Fauci must be held to account.
00:22:07.920It's very clear that he knew and withheld this vital information from the American people.
00:22:14.640Meanwhile, Los Angeles County election officials stated in a federal court filing that they have no independent method to verify citizenship of approximately 20,000 voters flagged by federal authorities as potential non-citizens.
00:22:29.600Assistant Registrar Monica Flores said the office is, quote, not equipped or authorized to check citizenship because it does not maintain immigration or naturalization records and relies on the voter's own attestation.
00:22:47.340So in other words, if a voter walks in and says they're a citizen, their officials are just supposed to believe them.
00:22:53.220First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Esseli called the admission a massive concession, noting that federal law limits voting in federal elections to citizens and that California has neither acted on the list nor agreed so far to set the ballots aside in these particular questions.
00:23:12.600The U.S. Attorney added that 28 arrests already made from the list demonstrate its accuracy.
00:23:18.580California registers voters on the honor system.
00:23:24.520The county's own filing confirms it cannot independently confirm citizenship for the individuals federal prosecutors have identified.
00:23:32.980So under federal law, only citizens may vote.
00:23:35.900The Trump administration's effort to identify and prevent non-citizen ballots has now been met with an official admission that local officials in Los Angeles and in California lack the tools or the authority to perform that basic check.
00:23:53.760This is how the system was designed.0.74
00:23:55.860See, the Democrats wanted to be loose so that more illegals can cast votes.0.85
00:24:00.480This is how they plan to obtain permanent political power in this country.
00:24:03.960But the Trump administration is not standing for it.
00:24:08.040They're putting the Democrat fraudsters on the defense and forcing them to expose themselves as their schemes fall apart.
00:24:15.540Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron pushed back Wednesday against statements by President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance that linked the recent riots in France, which seemed to be ongoing, to mass immigration.
00:24:29.480Macron, speaking in Qatar, described comments by foreign leaders as unacceptable and stupid.0.99
00:24:36.140When asked whether he was referring to President Trump, he replied, among others,0.99
00:24:40.420Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance had pointed to the unrest, which produced more than 2,000 arrests
00:24:47.000and hundreds of injured officers as evidence that open borders and failed assimilation produce disorder.
00:24:54.060Now, remember, first they told us it was just students and they were just protesting over not having enough teachers.
00:25:00.680It became abundantly clear that the protests were much broader than that and that they were being whipped up by paid professional agitators.
00:25:11.120Macron claimed that there were no evidence tying the violence to migrants and accused outsiders of exploiting this crisis.
00:25:17.960Macron's response is the same arrogant posture he's maintained throughout his tenure.
00:25:22.540Any observation that mass migration and parallel societies create real costs is dismissed by these elitists as illegitimate.
00:25:32.100This is why I think there's a real possibility that Marie Le Pen could be elected the next president of France, in which case their open borders policy will come to a screeching halt.
00:25:42.940Macron, however, is dedicated to the globalist project, no matter how disastrously it fails.0.87
00:25:48.720France has experienced repeated episodes of large-scale urban violence involving second and third generational migrant populations.0.52
00:26:00.880The current riots have included arson, looting, and attacks on police.
00:26:05.660Rather than address the cumulative effects of his government's immigration policies, Macron attacks the messengers.
00:26:11.660France needs to vote in a populist conservative government that will address the migration crisis directly.
00:26:18.040Otherwise, their nation will fall to the savages.0.61
00:26:21.440We already see this happening in the UK.
00:26:31.320All of these are examples of what happens when you have open borders.
00:26:35.760We had them in this country under Joe Biden.
00:26:37.640that, God, today President Trump has closed our borders. In fact, illegal border crossings
00:26:43.720have dropped to almost nothing. It is vital, once again, for Republicans to win the midterm elections
00:26:50.960if we are to keep our border policies as they are today. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Zoran
00:26:56.960Mamdami has signed only one bill into law during his first 10 months in office. The sole measure
00:27:03.700he approved permits year-round outdoor dining on city sidewalks a crucial issue nearly 100 other
00:27:11.620city council bills have sat on his desk with most becoming law automatically after four weeks
00:27:17.200under the returned unsigned process under city regulations and state law city hall sources have
00:27:24.660told reporters that staff time is consumed by social media video production rather than legislative
00:27:31.120to review hearings or bill signings. This demonstrates that Mamdami cares more about
00:27:36.960grandstanding than solving problems for the people of the city of New York. Mamdami has
00:27:42.100made time for public statements calling foreign leaders war criminals and directing the New York
00:27:47.720Police Department to examine arrest options, yet bills addressing elderly wellness, checks in
00:27:53.520extreme heat, and expanded child care, issues he actually campaigned on, move forward in this case
00:27:59.640without his signature. The pattern is consistent with a mayor more comfortable being an influencer
00:28:05.620and cheerleader than executing the routine functions of the office of the mayor. New Yorkers
00:28:12.340who expected competence are watching the administration that prioritizes public
00:28:17.000relations and content production over the basic works of governing. The early enthusiasm is
00:28:23.580already colliding with the dismal reality. Perhaps the only silver lining here is that
00:28:28.160Namdami is not signing any bills to make New York City more socialist, as that would be even worse than his being lazy and essentially doing nothing.
00:28:38.020Meanwhile, at least nine additional lawmakers announced Tuesday that suspicious envelopes have been sent to their offices, bringing the total number of affected members of Congress above three dozen.
00:28:48.860Newly identified receipts include Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Republican Senators Jim Banks and Deb Fischer.
00:28:59.720Some envelopes reportedly contain white powder or other identified substances.
00:29:05.080Several return addresses referenced a Manhattan location formerly associated with the Democrat Socialists of America, which has, of course, denied any involvement.
00:29:15.560Congressional security officials say no tested envelope has been found to actually contain hazardous substances.
00:29:22.800The FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Capitol Police are investigating.
00:29:28.180The mailings have targeted officers across both parties and reached election officials in multiple states.
00:29:36.460Who knows who is behind this, whether it is some radicalized communist or whether it is just a hoax.
00:29:44.920Perhaps it's a foreign adversary just trying to sow her seeds of dysfunction.
00:29:50.260Ultimately, I guess, only time will tell.0.99
00:29:52.900Preliminary testing has cleared the contents so far as non-hazardous in the cases that have been examined.
00:30:00.100Yet the volume and the timing, less than two weeks before the midterms,
00:30:03.940should have law enforcement treating this with the utmost seriousness.
00:30:08.400Lawmakers from both parties have confirmed receipt of the letters.
00:30:12.800Those who are sending these letters must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
00:30:18.020It's very clear, given the bipartisan nature of this dirty trick,
00:30:22.300that this is someone making mischief and trying to disrupt the overall system.
00:30:27.160Someone should make an example of this fiend to show that these acts against our constitutional order
00:30:32.600will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
00:30:35.780Meanwhile, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz announced that the Department of Health and Human Services is deferring an additional $1.2 billion in Medicaid reimbursements to the state of California.
00:30:52.940The action brings a total federal withholding from the state above $3.3 billion.
00:30:59.200Dr. Oz cited the rapid growth of California's personal care services program, which expanded 24% over the past three years.
00:31:11.880He described the program as covering services such as carrying groceries upstairs for an elderly relative, which he said many families could perform without payment.
00:31:20.780The deferral requires California to provide additional documentation before any more funds are released.
00:31:28.720Oz stated that the decision was made on behalf of the HHA Secretary Robert F. Kennedy after reviews identified high-risk claims that the state has not yet fully documented.
00:31:40.140Previous deferrals targeted similar categories of spending.
00:31:43.880California officials have rejected the fraud characterization
00:31:47.180and argue that the growth reflects legitimate expansion of in-home services.
00:31:52.840That sounds to me, frankly, like hogwash.
00:31:56.280The federal spending is out of control,
00:31:58.120and liberal bureaucrats have been spending it like drunken sailors.
00:32:01.500In fact, that's an insult to drunken sailors.0.55
00:32:03.820The fredocracy, as I call them, has governed America
00:32:06.940and has now been derailed by President Trump, as well as RFK Jr.,
00:32:11.880has emerged as the diligent and effective HHS secretary in our nation's history.
00:32:18.800If you haven't noticed, I'm a big fan of Robert Kennedy.
00:32:22.040I think he's done an extraordinary job.
00:32:23.820Among other things, of course, reordering the childhood vaccination schedule,
00:32:28.420but also removing the dangerous dyes and other contaminants that are allowed in American food,
00:32:35.040many of which are, by the way, already outlawed in Europe.
00:32:38.080So I think he's among the president's very best nominees.
00:32:41.880The administration maintains in California the payments will be released only after claims meet federal requirements, and they will not budge until California proves that they have cleaned up their act.
00:32:54.960Meanwhile, the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, warned Wednesday that television broadcasters could violate their regulatory obligations by airing deliberately false or manipulative election polling in the lead up to the midterms.
00:33:08.660Carr stated that the current season has seen a surge of entirely fake polls and suppression polls designed to interfere with the electoral process and to alter voter turnout and enthusiasm.
00:33:22.940Carr suggested that these practices could constitute prohibited news distortion or broadcast hoaxes.
00:33:29.780This week, for example, a firm calling itself Wedgwood Polling recently admitted fabricating all of the data that was being cited by campaigns and aggregators before being removed by outlets, which included the New York Times.
00:33:43.700So think about that for the moment. The New York Times is publishing polls that were completely and totally fraudulent, polls that had never actually been conducted.
00:33:53.420Americans are poll crazy, but as I've said previously, you have to look at polls that use proper methodology,
00:34:00.340a properly drawn sample that reflects the actual electorate that you are trying to measure,
00:34:06.920questions which are neutrally worded in an unbiased way and stated in a specific order.
00:34:13.460In other words, there are polls and there are polls.
00:34:16.420Some polls are designed to suppress voters, to create a bandwagon effect, or to raise money.
00:34:25.040Those are the polls that I urge you to ignore.
00:34:27.920There's also another phenomena, which I've talked about.
00:34:31.200Many Trump supporters will not tell a stranger over the internet or the telephone that they're voting for a Trump-supported candidate.
00:34:40.260And therefore, a support for a number of the candidates that Donald Trump is campaigning for and supporting is greatly understated in these polls.
00:34:49.300I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.
00:34:54.440The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:35:10.260This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:35:13.920Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.
00:35:31.380A new highlighted national undergraduate survey from the Buckley Institute
00:35:35.480finds that 45 percent of respondents believe physical violence can sometimes be justified
00:35:41.360to stop speech that they consider hateful. The figure includes 54 percent of self-identified
00:35:47.480liberals, 36 percent of moderates, but only 30 percent of self-identified conservatives.
00:35:53.940Approximately 46 percent support disrupting speakers through organized shouting, while 40
00:35:59.280percent favor criminal penalties for offensive speech. Cornerstone University President Gerson
00:36:05.740Marino Riano has argued that colleges are failing to teach students the importance of peaceful
00:36:12.080disagreement and constitutional freedoms. We saw the end game of this toxic culture last year
00:36:17.860when my good friend Charlie Kirk's life was extinguished by an assassin's bullet. These
00:36:23.520numbers reveal a campus environment in the First Amendment that is in grave, grave danger. The same
00:36:30.220survey found that a majority still recognize hate speech as technically protected, yet large shares
00:36:36.540simultaneously support shout downs, violence, and criminalization of speech. That's what we see
00:36:42.800happening right now in the UK, where 68,000 people have been arrested over things that they posted
00:36:49.080online that the government objects to. This will only get worse. Remember how many liberals cheered
00:36:55.160after my friend Charlie Kirk was gunned down? Many more were silently happy with the grave news.
00:37:01.560Truth is they want many of us dead. Every MAGA supporter is a Nazi to them who deserves to be0.99
00:37:07.900killed in the eyes of these radical leftists. We must continue to fight the messaging battle but1.00
00:37:13.340also prepare accordingly. Cannot be sitting ducks. Founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment
00:37:19.100for times like this. We have a First Amendment of free speech only because we have a Second
00:37:24.420Amendment. I say this for the purpose of protection. One must protect themselves.
00:37:30.860Meanwhile, federal prosecutors have charged a Virginia state senator, L. Louise Lucas,
00:37:36.800who's 82 years old, serving as President Pro Tem and chairs the Virginia Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee
00:37:44.280with racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute illegal drugs.
00:37:52.060The indictment alleges that she led a criminal enterprise involving family members
00:37:55.980that used her official position to protect an illegal marijuana operation estimated at $4.5 million.
00:38:04.180She is, I remind you, 82 years old.1.00
00:38:08.840She allegedly used her office to insulate the business from scrutiny and influence legislation that benefited her criminal enterprise.
00:38:16.300So I guess 82 years old is not too old to be a criminal.
00:38:20.660I'm Roger Stone. Thanks for listening here in the Stone Zone.
00:38:24.060This case in Virginia just really blows my mind.
00:38:27.540Lucas and several of her relatives had already surrendered to authorities, and one intercepted call, she reportedly described the scheme as their last chance at generational wealth, and said that she'd gotten too old not to be greedy.
00:38:44.040Senator Lucas has spent decades invoking her experience under Jim Crow, and accusing any critic of racism whenever her conduct was questioned.
00:38:53.500She's used black privilege as a cloak to commit crimes here, a familiar story among some Democrats.
00:38:59.360They routinely project accusations of corruption onto Donald Trump while they themselves face federal indictments for precisely the behavior they claim to oppose.1.00
00:39:10.100Senator Lucas was honored for decades as a civil rights icon, and she milked it to get a position within the government.
00:39:17.440Now she'll be remembered as an example as to why diversity is not our strength
00:39:21.120when it takes precedence over honesty, integrity, and public integrity at that.
00:39:27.720I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone.
00:39:30.860I do want to point out to you the closeness of New York's race for governor.
00:39:36.740Current polls today show that Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive,
00:39:42.720running substantially ahead of where Lee Zeldin was running at this point,
00:39:46.900in the gubernatorial race four years ago.
