00:00:35.360 this is the stone zone with roger stone people love him and respect him roger stone

00:00:42.340 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:00:48.360 You are now entering the Stone Zone, the hottest political talk show on the planet.

00:00:57.960 Well, Charlie Kirk's family is taking legal action against Utah Valley University,

00:01:04.820 saying the university officials knew about the exact rooftop risk that allowed his assassin to strike and did nothing.

00:01:12.760 The legal notice of claim details stunning failures and reckless decisions that left Kirk exposed.

00:01:21.240 The university police had no written security plan, ignored warnings about accessible rooftops, and denied requests for more officers.

00:01:31.020 A Turning Point USA text flagging student roof access near the stage got a dismissive, I got you covered, reply.

00:01:40.300 Real-time camera monitoring could have stopped a shooter running across the building rooftop. Instead, responders weren't even available. Kirk was rushed to the hospital in a private vehicle, and at that time, the damage had been done.

00:01:56.860 Campus security basics like perimeters, metal detectors, drones, CCTV were entirely ignored.

00:02:07.000 It's clear that the university culture had no respect for Charlie because of his political philosophy and ideology.

00:02:14.700 Radical Marxism has become a persuasive influence in universities nationwide.

00:02:20.140 The family says that the university created a foreseeable danger.

00:02:26.980 They must be forced to pay or universities will become killing fields for anybody whose speech is deemed to be politically incorrect.

00:02:36.400 Liberals, of course, want to make college to be thought prisons where students will not be able to hear any opposing opinion.

00:02:43.780 Charlie Kirk, my good friend, was a martyr for freedom of speech.

00:02:47.540 one of our very best conservative thinkers and fighters and speakers, was taken off the front

00:02:53.960 lines in the culture war. Until these universities are forced to pay, there will be no changes.

00:03:00.740 The University of Utah is a perfect place to start. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee

00:03:07.300 has voted unanimously to recommend contempt charges against billionaire Leon Black for

00:03:14.480 stonewalling the Epstein investigation. Black gave a voluntary interview in June but then refused a

00:03:20.960 sworn deposition and withheld key documents including non-disclosure agreements. The House

00:03:27.760 is now set to act and the Justice Department could prosecute as a result. Black's lawyers

00:03:33.640 claim congressional overreach and insist he knew nothing of Epstein's crime but we don't know the

00:03:39.840 truth. The committee isn't buying those excuses. Black had extensive financial ties to Epstein,

00:03:46.540 paying him tens of millions of dollars after Epstein was already a convicted sex offender

00:03:52.320 in Florida. This is not partisan theater, as it is a rare instance where Republicans and Democrats

00:03:59.680 have united to hold Black accountable. This is about whether wealthy, connected elites are above 0.97

00:04:06.820 the law. Congress is asserting its subpoena power as they continue to get to the bottom of the

00:04:13.020 Epstein network. Contrary to the narrative set by the fake news, more has been unearthed about

00:04:19.160 Epstein and his cohorts throughout the Trump administration than ever before. Survivors and

00:04:25.800 the public deserve answers, and they're finally beginning to get them. No member of the power

00:04:30.980 elite should get to hide behind lawyers and non-NDAs, I guess they're called, non-disclosure

00:04:38.380 agreements, when the truth about pedophile networks is on the line. The rights and the dignity of the

00:04:44.600 survivors should come first. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader, doesn't look very well. Rumors

00:04:52.320 about the Chinese president, Xi Jinping's health, are swirling after an awkward moment at the BRICS

00:04:58.600 summit in India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi posed mid-speech to ask the chairman of

00:05:06.440 China, CCP, Xi, whether he was okay, after the Chinese leader appeared shaken, confused,

00:05:14.420 and uncomfortable. Xi later left the conference early, skipping an important gala dinner,

00:05:20.980 which has only added fuel to the fire when it comes to speculation. Many foreign policy experts

00:05:27.740 have speculated that Xi is dealing with some serious health issues. It's hard to say for sure,

00:05:33.200 as the Chinese Politburo would never admit this, no matter how obvious it might become.

00:05:39.200 President Xi is not at Biden's level of being unwell, but it's obviously something nearby.

00:05:45.860 The strong man is struggling. You can see that if you look at the video. I looked at it several

00:05:50.380 times. Perhaps the political pressure of squaring off against President Trump in the realm of

00:05:55.600 geopolitics has the communist dictator feeling down. Chairman Xi has concentrated power with

00:06:02.820 no clear successor, making his health a state secret and a strategic vulnerability. It is known

00:06:09.240 that he is unhappy with the Chinese military. This gives even more of an advantage to President 1.00

00:06:14.960 Trump. Trump's relentless economic and strategic pressure has left China exposed. When the man

00:06:22.240 who claims to be America's peer competitor can't even finish a summit without raising serious

00:06:27.840 health questions, it undercuts the image of an invincible China. Xi is clearly under pressure,

00:06:34.100 and perhaps he's breaking down. Maybe he just can't take the heat. Meanwhile, President Trump

00:06:39.360 embraces being an octogenarian with boundless energy and indomitable will, despite the Chai 0.98

00:06:45.780 comms should consider ousting their lifetime president and attempt to find someone amongst 0.93

00:06:50.520 them with the stones of face to face off against 47. Not that it would help. See, America under

00:06:57.540 President Trump is a juggernaut and China's days of masquerading as a serious world power are 0.97

00:07:03.140 numbered. For the first time, America is challenging the Chinese communists and it's 0.97

00:07:07.980 clear that Xi is under pressure. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance is exposing the injustice

00:07:14.040 behind the H-1B visas. During a recent appearance on the All In podcast, Vance said the program

00:07:21.720 should attract exceptional foreign talent that strengthens America, not let companies fire

00:07:27.460 Americans and hire cheap foreign workers. He called out the classic scam, replacing a $60,000

00:07:34.900 American accountant with a $45,000 foreign hire. Trump administration already rolled out a

00:07:41.620 weighted lottery favoring higher skilled, higher paid applicants. Additional proposals include a

00:07:48.560 hefty fee on certain petitions and ending the grace period for laid off H-1B workers. An earlier

00:07:55.900 $100,000 payment requirement remains tied up in the federal courts, but the direction towards

00:08:02.480 protecting American workers under this administration is pretty clear. Vance and Trump are on the side

00:08:08.940 of the American workers. Big tech and corporate interests want cheap labor aversion to maximize

00:08:14.480 their profits. It's not about bringing over the best talent because the vast majority of the best

00:08:19.440 talent is right here at home in the United States. President Trump's team is using every

00:08:24.960 administrative tool available to protect American workers because Congress is simply too crippled

00:08:31.120 to act. H-1B gravy train for the globalists may finally be coming to an end. A sudden anti-artificial

00:08:40.840 intelligence alarm is being blared from Bill Gates and the Democrat Party. This week, globalist Bill

00:08:47.320 Gates pledged at least $1 billion through his foundation, colloquially known as the Epstein

00:08:54.180 fund to artificial intelligence can become what he calls a great equalizer between rich and poor.

00:09:02.380 So in other words, he's pushing to techno-communism after his global warming

00:09:07.580 alarmists failed to produce the exact same goal. The same week, Democrats started treating AI doom

00:09:14.960 as a midterm election strategy. They say it will bring job losses. It's a danger to children.

00:09:21.040 The machines are out of control. There's too much noise. This is irresponsible alarmism.

00:09:28.300 Attorney General Todd Blanche exposed the effort for what it is, an effort to influence the midterms.

00:09:34.760 President Trump has rightly called the panic another hoax from the radical left.

00:09:40.060 Here's the real play. Globalists and Democrats don't want competing American companies and free citizens building this powerful new technology.

00:09:49.960 They want the state, the foundations, the NGOs, and the regulators holding the keys.

00:09:57.460 They want rules written in Washington by the globalists and for the globalists.

00:10:01.480 As Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago, former White House chief of staff said,

00:10:07.100 never let a good crisis go to waste.

00:10:09.640 And in this case, the crisis is too much technological progress by the United States.

00:10:15.320 Of course, there are real concerns with the development of AI.

00:10:18.560 They shouldn't be glossed over, really, but they should not make us afraid to innovate America or to have America win the AI race ethically and with respect for the rights of the people.

00:10:31.140 Only, of course, if it is led by private competitors and open markets with government setting common sense rules, but not massive restrictions overseen by groups like the United Nations or the World Health Organization.

00:10:45.500 Everything Bill Gates turns to, well, you know what.

00:10:50.240 It will be no different with AI and nascent technologies.

00:10:54.140 So I say reject the fear and trust in Trump.

00:10:58.220 Meanwhile, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,

00:11:01.240 my friend all the way back to the 1980 Reagan campaign,

00:11:04.320 the first woman Chief of Staff in American history,

00:11:08.300 first announced that she is cancer-free six months after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis.

00:11:14.840 This is great news, for which my wife, who's also a cancer survivor, and I prayed fervently.

00:11:21.760 Pathology results from the Mayo Clinic came back clear, and Susie Wiles has made a speedy recovery.

00:11:28.260 Wiles thanked her family, doctors, supporters, and particularly President Trump for unwavering support in this health crisis.

00:11:37.160 President Trump previously called her one of the best chiefs of staff in history and credited her crucial role in the 2024 victory, his amazing comeback.

00:11:47.660 There is no hyperbole.

00:11:49.800 She is the first female White House chief of staff, a trailblazer and a true icon.

00:11:54.580 Her laser focus has helped President Trump achieve a litany of successes throughout his second term in office.

00:12:02.180 While fighting cancer, Susie Wiles kept the White House running and advanced the America First 0.92

00:12:06.960 agenda. No drama, no self-pity, just quiet strength and results. She's sustained a number 0.99

00:12:14.000 of unfair and inaccurate personal attacks because anyone who doesn't get their way

00:12:18.720 seems to blame the White House chief of staff. It's not the way it works. In the same world,

00:12:24.180 Susie Wiles would be celebrated as a feminist hero. Instead, she's scorned, reviled by the 1.00

00:12:30.260 leftists who supposedly support equality. Nonetheless, she's unfazed and unshakable in the 0.79

00:12:35.580 face of this hate and the pushback. The enemies of MAGA would have loved to see her step back to

00:12:41.080 her illness, but she refused to relent. America is blessed for her service. It is a fact of life that

00:12:49.700 every president has to have people around him who occasionally say no. And of course,

00:12:55.820 the supplicants, always blame the staff. They never blame the principal. Susie Wallace has

00:13:02.860 done an extraordinary job protecting the president, but recognizing that Donald Trump is different

00:13:08.800 than any other president or political figure in American history. He isn't managed. He isn't

00:13:15.380 handled. He isn't scripted. What you see is what you get. It's a difficult job, particularly when

00:13:21.980 you have these serious health issues. My understanding, the president actually set up a

00:13:27.340 bedroom for her in the White House so that she could undergo her treatments during the time that

00:13:32.860 she continued to serve as the White House chief of staff, never stepping down from the position.

00:13:39.320 So this is a moment to thank God for her complete and total recovery and the fact that she is now

00:13:46.220 cancer-free. As I said, my wife and I pray for this. I feel a special kinship with Susie Wiles

00:13:53.360 because of my own wife's struggle with cancer. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone

00:13:58.620 Zone. Don't go away because when we come back, we'll talk about how the Trump administration is

00:14:03.480 using never-before-laws to deport an ISIS plotter. This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:14:11.820 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:14:15.960 Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:14:20.280 Now, get him a zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:14:26.180 You are now re-entering the Stone Zone, and I'm your host, Roger Stone.

00:14:32.800 The Trump Justice Department just made history.

00:14:34.940 For the first time ever, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, which was created in 1996,

00:14:41.200 and left unused for almost three decades, was used to deport an Afghan woman who supported an

00:14:47.940 ISIS-inspired Election Day mass shooting plot. Nazira Haji Zada, a permanent resident of Fort

00:14:57.320 Worth, Texas, admitted that she is an alien terrorist. She backed her son and son-in-law's

00:15:02.900 plan to carry out a mass shooting around the 2024 election. The men bought guns and ammo from an

00:15:10.600 undercover FBI agent. One perpetrator got 15 years while the other one currently awaits

00:15:16.960 sentencing. The family sold property and bought one-way tickets to Kabul while the attackers

00:15:22.700 planned to stay behind. FBI Director Cash Patel and the Department of Homeland Security Secretary

00:15:28.920 Mark Wayne Mullen hailed the removal. It shows how the Trump administration is using all the

00:15:35.540 tools at their disposal to rid the country of foreign threats. Previous administrations

00:15:40.880 essentially lacked the political will to do so. Those who plot terrorism against America

00:15:46.360 lose the right to live here. How simple can this be? President Trump's team is using every lawful

00:15:52.620 tool available to protect national security and make our nation safe. The robbing door for terror

00:15:59.160 supporters has been slammed shut, and frankly, we have President Trump to thank for that.

00:16:03.980 Meanwhile, an internal FBI email reveals that an FBI agent wanted to open a criminal investigation into Elon Musk for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

00:16:17.720 Agent Kevin Gornad pitched charging Elon Musk over a government email about weekly accomplishments claiming it violated security policy and that Musk was generating income by posting about it on X.

00:16:33.740 The FBI agent even compared it to Hillary Clinton's private server while noting that the FBI declined to prosecute her.

00:16:41.900 He offered to write the case opening and find a prosecutor, adding, no, I'm not kidding.

00:16:48.560 Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the email.

00:16:54.300 The agent, thank goodness, is no longer with the FBI.

00:16:58.140 Elon Musk, who I think has done more for the First Amendment than anyone other than the founding fathers, sacrificed time and reputation to help drain the swamp and get President Trump a second term.

00:17:11.820 The deep state's response was to try to weaponize and target him criminally.

00:17:16.460 This is another disgusting example of the weaponization of our criminal justice system.

00:17:22.020 The bureaucracy was out to make Musk into a criminal because he was taking direct aid at them, rooting out waste, fraud, and corruption.

00:17:31.120 He was working to cut them down to size, and the Doge initiative was an extremely popular success that is still in effect in many ways throughout the Trump administration.

00:17:41.760 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to Stone Zone. Don't go away, because we'll be right back with more politics on the other side.

00:17:48.260 It's the Stone Zone.

00:17:50.220 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:17:57.600 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:18:00.040 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:18:02.320 Here's Roger Stone.

00:18:06.900 And we're back in the Stone Zone, the hottest political talk show on the planet.

00:18:12.480 Patrick Clancy, the father who discovered his three children murdered,

00:18:17.220 is set to speak out on 60 Minutes after his ex-wife, Lindsay's murder trial,

00:18:22.760 incredibly ended in a mistrial.

00:18:25.440 Lindsay remains charged with strangling their three children,

00:18:28.920 Cora, five, Dawson, three, and infant Callan, before jumping from the window.

00:18:35.540 Even though she admitted to doing the crime, 0.99

00:18:37.820 that has not stopped a gaggle of brain-rotted social media dopes from somehow putting the blame

00:18:44.540 on Patrick Clancy, the father. The TikTok mob and online conspiracy theorists have turned on Patrick,

00:18:51.700 spreading lies about him and relentlessly impugning his character. He now will have a

00:18:57.260 chance to go on 60 Minutes to set the record straight and defend his good name. I will be

00:19:02.840 watching. I urge you to do the same. At the end of the Lindsay Clancy case, jurors were split 11 to

00:19:09.660 one for acquittal on an insanity defense, but the facts remain. Three children are dead and Patrick

00:19:16.840 found them. Jurors say his blood-curdling screams on the 9-11 call were among the most horrifying

00:19:23.480 things they have ever heard. In the years since, Patrick has remarried and tried to rebuild his

00:19:29.600 life. His lawyers and others have pushed back hard against the horrific conspiracy claims with

00:19:35.580 defamation lawsuits likely forthcoming. This is not lawfare. It's just justice. Patrick Clancy is

00:19:42.940 a grieving father, not a perp. The online pile-on is a grotesque inversion of justice. We must stand

00:19:50.540 with the victims, not with the worst excesses of the digital landscape. Now, the Chinese foreign 1.00

00:19:57.560 Minister Wang Yi has told Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and return to the June memorandum

00:20:04.400 with the United States. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Argarachi visited Beijing seeking support.

00:20:13.100 Instead, he got a clear message instead, open the straits and show restraint. Iran's proxies 0.91

00:20:19.080 continue their attacks, including on Saudi targets, while Tehran still talks tough.

00:20:24.220 U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright says oil flows throughout the Straits are already back to near pre-conflict levels under American protection.

00:20:34.720 Iran is running out of leverage after failing to rally BRICS support at the recent meeting and drawing regional condemnation.

00:20:43.240 Trump's pressure is successfully isolating Iran.

00:20:46.620 The administration is cracking down on the networks used by Iran to evade sanctions.

00:20:51.680 As a result, China knows they can no longer rely on Iran as an economic partner.

00:20:58.340 So even China is now telling Tehran to knock it off.

00:21:02.580 That's proof that the regime's isolation is having a tangible effect.

00:21:07.200 America is enforcing freedom of navigation and showing that Iran's control over the Strait Hormuz is fleeting.

00:21:14.500 Iran's bluff is collapsing. 0.54

00:21:15.820 It's only a matter of time before the Islamic terror regime folds completely because of President Trump's bold foreign policy, and particularly because of the economic sanctions put in place by the Secretary of the Treasury.

00:21:30.020 This has been a particularly effective tool in this war, as they now put incredible economic pressure on the regime. 0.52

00:21:39.080 Meanwhile, two massive California fraud cases dropped this week, exposing the depths of the broken system under Democrat rule.

00:21:46.540 Federal prosecutors charged a Los Angeles nonprofit founder and associates with diverting millions meant for the homeless into a Tahiti vacation, a high-end nightclub, luxury cars, and other personal expenses.

00:22:02.220 The group took over $118 million in public funds with ringleader Michael Young,

00:22:08.860 reportedly pocketing millions in taxpayer dollars through various sham vendors.

00:22:14.700 But they're only far from the fraudsters who are bilking the free-for-all system in California.

00:22:20.420 Separately, 12 immigrants from Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Sudan

00:22:26.200 were charged in a $10 million home daycare fraud scheme that was in San Diego.

00:22:33.480 They obtained licenses for low-income daycare they never actually ran,

00:22:38.200 pocketing millions in taxpayer money,

00:22:40.640 some claiming dozens of kids while surveillance showed that there were no kids.

00:22:44.980 This is similar to the famous Learning Center scheme

00:22:47.740 revealed by independent journalist Nick Shirley. 0.99

00:22:50.780 It turns out that Somalia migrants are swindling in more states than just Minnesota. 1.00

00:22:56.800 We predicted this right here in the Stone Zone. 1.00

00:22:59.020 This is happening in Michigan, happening in other states, including Oregon, and as far

00:23:04.580 we now know, even in New York.

00:23:07.100 California is proof positive that open borders plus weak oversight equals systematic theft

00:23:13.220 of our tax dollars.

00:23:14.860 The Trump Justice Department is cleaning house.

00:23:17.860 California's political class enabled this for years and used diversity as a smokescreen

00:23:23.280 to get away with it.

00:23:24.160 These excuses are no longer flying, and the bill is finally coming due.

00:23:30.820 Meanwhile, failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is headed to Michigan to campaign with socialist U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed,

00:23:41.200 sealing the unholy alliance between the Democrat corporate establishment and the far-left radical wing.

00:23:48.220 El-Sayed, a Democrat Socialist of America favorite, won a divisive primary and now gets the former vice president's full support.

00:23:57.960 El-Sayed has campaigned with left-wing extremist Hassan Piker, who famously claimed that America deserved the attacks of 9-11.

00:24:06.780 El-Sayed is also called to eliminate ICE, enact socialized health care policies, defund the police, and do away with our prisons.

00:24:17.140 Harris' campaigning will help Syed try to moderate his long-stated policies for the general election.

00:24:23.540 El-Syed's opponent, the Trump-endorsed Republican, former Congressman and FBI agent Mike Rogers,

00:24:28.880 is framing the race as a common-sense versus socialism contest.

00:24:34.760 Recent polling shows a tight contest, which is frightening, to put it mildly.

00:24:39.940 Harris' endorsement is not likely to move the needle, but it just shows the nature of the Democrat Party.

00:24:45.360 Even though many established Democrats may not have liked El-Sayed during the primary, they don't hesitate to circle the wagons around him for the general election.

00:24:55.920 Voters in Michigan and beyond have a clear choice between two visions for our country.

00:25:01.780 See, the radical left is not a fringe. It is now firmly in control of the once great Democrat Party.

00:25:08.120 As I've said many times, the old Democrat Party, the party of President Harry Truman, President John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert Kennedy, the former U.S. Senator for New York, the party of Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Ed Koch, that Democrat Party that believed in God, that believed in capitalism, that believed in free enterprise, believed in a strong national defense, that Democrat Party, which was strongly anti-communist, no longer exists.

00:25:38.120 And if Democrats win enough elections, they will seize control over the entire country before long.

00:25:44.040 We have to rise up, stop them now, or we will suffer unspeakably later.

00:25:49.220 Meanwhile, President Trump's tough on trade stance is finally delivering results and exposing Canada's weakness.

00:25:56.160 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is racing to Europe this week, begging for unique alliance with the European Union,

00:26:03.620 as President Trump's tariffs hammer Ottawa's economy.

00:26:07.980 Carney wants to double Canada's non-U.S. trade within a decade,

00:26:13.140 chasing deeper deals on trade, defense, and digital security from Europe.

00:26:18.560 Right now, billions in American exports, many concentrated in battleground states,

00:26:23.280 are facing Canadian retaliation.

00:26:25.420 But if Canada plays hardball, they will soon learn how dependent they are on the U.S. for their economic prosperity.

00:26:32.740 78% of their imports come from the United States, while Canada imports virtually nothing, nothing, to our country.

00:26:41.300 This is a classic America first leverage play at work.

00:26:44.600 Tariff pressure is extracting these concessions faster than Canada can pivot away.

00:26:49.620 European leaders are privately sympathetic, but publicly cautious.

00:26:53.180 You see, they don't want to provoke the wrath of President Trump either.

00:26:57.280 Carney's European charm offensive proves the point.

00:26:59.680 When America stands firm on fair trade, free riders scramble for alternatives.

00:27:05.520 But even if they're offended by President Trump's tactics, they will ultimately be forced to play ball.

00:27:10.860 Canada is running for cover, but they will find that they cannot exist without the United States.

00:27:15.740 And in a staring contest, they will surely be the first to blink.

00:27:20.780 Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dropped the hammer on South Africa.

00:27:25.640 the Trump administration announced new travel restrictions targeting South African officials

00:27:31.020 involved in race-based discrimination, land seizures without compensation, and incitement

00:27:37.640 of violence against white and minority citizens. Rubio cited South Africa's land expropriation

00:27:44.540 policies, affirmative action rules, and ongoing attacks on white farmers. South Africa denies

00:27:51.540 everything, of course, claiming it's just addressing apartheid inequalities. But those

00:27:56.760 excuses do not fly as South Africa descends into violence and squalor, as well as chaos.

00:28:03.640 This follows earlier moves cutting aid, blocking South Africa from key international meetings,

00:28:09.680 and creating a refugee pathway for persecuted Afrikaners. The United States will not stand by

00:28:16.300 while the government targets citizens based on race. President Trump's team is using every

00:28:22.060 diplomatic tool to defend basic fairness for all people, something that previous administrations

00:28:28.080 frankly ignored. South Africa's leadership can keep lying, but the restrictions are real and

00:28:34.360 they're not going to be ended anytime soon. Trump administration is making it clear that America

00:28:39.500 will not subsidize or ignore racial double standards. Meanwhile, Virginia, under Democrat

00:28:46.460 Governor Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA operative, is seeing out-of-control killings

00:28:52.280 as another illegal immigrant was charged in a deadly stabbing spree. Mexican National Freddy

00:28:59.660 Chigo Mill faces murder and malicious wounding charges after stabbing two women in Staunton,

00:29:07.080 Virginia, one of them fatally. ICE has lodged a detainer asking the state not to release him

00:29:12.740 the same day ICE arrested a Salvadoran wanted for aggravated homicide in his home country,

00:29:19.340 but the Department of Homeland Security points to dozens of violent crimes by illegal immigrants

00:29:24.440 in Virginia this year alone. Victims' advocates call the situation insane, and so-called moderate

00:29:31.380 Democrats implement policies that put compassion for violent criminals ahead of public safety for

00:29:37.680 innocent victims. Spanberger's office claims she supports prosecuting and deporting violent

00:29:43.160 criminals, but it seems to me she's speaking out of both sides of her mouth. Her track record of

00:29:48.380 sanctuary-friendly policies tells a very different story. Spanberger campaigned as a 0.98

00:29:53.560 former to win over votes and take back control from a state previously led by a Republican 0.92

00:29:58.980 governor, but as soon as she became a governor and got into power, well, her MO changed virtually 1.00

00:30:05.060 overnight. Democrats are held hostage to its most radical elements, and every politician

00:30:11.960 must play ball or, frankly, their political careers will evaporate. Every preventable tragedy

00:30:17.780 under sanctuary policies is on the politicians who enable them. The blood is on their hands

00:30:23.440 regardless of whether they spew moderate at election time or not.

00:30:28.040 This is why Democrats can never get the benefit of the doubt.

00:30:31.420 They have to be rejected, in my view, without exception,

00:30:34.400 and the midterms will be attest to whether the public understands

00:30:36.840 how despicable the new Democrat Party has become

00:30:40.040 and notices that old patriotic Democrats,

00:30:43.740 in the tradition of the Kennedys, for example,

00:30:46.320 can literally no longer be found. 0.92

00:30:49.700 Meanwhile, Russia is a real threat. 0.98

00:30:51.560 No one should ever deny that.

00:30:53.440 That was true before the Russia, Russia, Russia circus, where President Trump was defamed and framed by deep state hoaxers, and it remains true today.

00:31:02.200 This week, the Justice Department unsealed charges against five men that said work for Russian intelligence in a global assassination network.

00:31:10.840 Prosecutors say the ring tried to recruit people on American soil to surveil and murder a Russian dissident believed to be living near Washington, D.C.

00:31:19.480 A Brooklyn man was offered $1,000 to $1,500 for photos and videos, and then an additional $40,000 to eliminate the target.

00:31:30.080 Frankly, he refused.

00:31:31.900 The defendants include a former Russian intelligence colonel, his FSB officer son, two Cubans, and a Venezuelan.

00:31:40.480 All five are now fugitives believed to be in Russia.

00:31:43.280 They face conspiracy to finance terrorism.

00:31:46.380 three also face murder for higher conspiracy charges. For years, Democrats and Obama-Biden

00:31:53.740 deep state turned Russia into a political weapon against Donald Trump. It began with the phony

00:31:59.520 dossier. It morphed into impeachment theater. The nonstop smear campaign ginned up by the

00:32:05.800 complicit media the entire time. Those phony stories did not make America safer. They poisoned

00:32:12.280 the public, tied the president's hand, and made a serious policy to neutralize Moscow harder, 0.87

00:32:18.820 not easier. Foreign Intelligence Service plotting murder is a news story that should dominate the

00:32:24.120 headlines, but it'll be lucky to get one one-hundredth of the coverage that the Russia

00:32:29.860 collusion hoax did. This, to me, is a travesty. The Trump administration is treating Russia as

00:32:35.740 the adversary it has shown itself to be, and it's time for the broader public to be united around

00:32:40.740 those efforts. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to Stone Zone. Don't go away because we'll be

00:32:46.040 right back. The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:32:54.400 Welcome back to the Stone Zone. Pro-gun control politicians keep selling the same line to the

00:33:01.060 public that pass one more rule and the shootings will decrease. They want new hoops for gun owners,

00:33:06.840 including restrictive storage mandates that would make accessing guns legally impossible to confront

00:33:12.480 an intruder. This is part of their death by a thousand cuts method to eliminate our Second

00:33:18.100 Amendment rights. But a study published in Crime and Delinquency has made their efforts much more

00:33:23.360 difficult. You see, researchers looked at American gun owners and found that 90 percent reported some

00:33:28.860 firearms safety instructions. About 70 percent got informal training from family and friends

00:33:34.880 showing how the culture of responsibility already exists in the gun-owning community.

00:33:40.580 The strongest predictor of secure storage was not due to lawmakers passing a bill,

00:33:45.300 patting themselves on the back afterward.

00:33:46.960 After all, Governor Kathy Hoka wants to pass a bill that says if you own a gun,

00:33:51.500 it must be kept in a safe within your home or office.

00:33:54.680 But who's going to check on where your gun is kept?

00:33:58.880 Seems to me like an enormous unconstitutional restriction on the Second Amendment,

00:34:03.360 as well as an invasion of privacy. According to the new study, state laws requiring locked storage

00:34:10.040 on the books in 26 states and the District of Columbia had no relationship of whether gun

00:34:15.260 owners actually store guns securely. The New York state law proposed by Ockel would be no different.

00:34:21.900 This is bad news for well-funded special interest groups like Gabby Giffords, Everytown,

00:34:27.200 and every Democrat who wants to criminalize gun ownership instead of teaching safety.

00:34:32.820 Law-abiding Americans already train. They already store.

00:34:36.300 It's the inner-city thugs who are committed to gun crimes,

00:34:39.340 the same thugs who Democrats want to let back on the street without cash bail.

00:34:44.220 Their policies are designed to destable us and force us to give up our rights.

00:34:48.240 We need to tell them not one more inch and then show them, if absolutely necessary,

00:34:53.180 that we will vote them out if they continue to infringe our Second Amendment rights.

00:34:58.660 Meanwhile, there is new hope for Alzheimer's sufferers. A large study of more than 121

00:35:04.480 older adults found that popular osteoporosis drugs were linked to significantly lower risk

00:35:10.920 of Alzheimer's and related dementias. Users saw a 16% lower risk versus no osteoporosis medication

00:35:19.200 and 24% lower versus other bone drugs.

00:35:23.600 Researchers point to a bone drain access,

00:35:27.180 the idea that bone health and brain health are connected.

00:35:30.880 The study is still observational, no proof of causation,

00:35:34.460 and the authors call for clinical trials.

00:35:37.400 Still, the signal is encouraging for families who have been forced to endure

00:35:41.340 the tragedy of watching loved ones fade.

00:35:44.680 This cruel and torturous death sentence is something that will be preventable

00:35:48.100 in the near future as medical technology evidently progresses rapidly.

00:35:54.280 The coming power of artificial intelligence also offers real hope against Alzheimer's

00:35:59.340 and other devastating conditions.

00:36:01.320 While there are many troubling aspects over the development of this technology,

00:36:05.040 there is hope that the pain and suffering of millions can be alleviated.

00:36:09.260 Every advance that slows or prevents the disease is worth celebrating.

00:36:15.040 These are the sort of developments that the responsible development of data centers can help usher in.

00:36:22.700 As I pointed out repeatedly, data centers do not have to use local water, nor do they need to use local electricity.

00:36:31.580 That is a canard.

00:36:32.600 There are technologies which require cooling with no local water and a completely independent, closed-loop source of electricity so that you don't have to tap into the grid, and therefore data centers don't drive electricity costs higher.

00:36:51.660 That technology exists.

00:36:53.540 In fact, there are multiple technologies, both for cooling and to generate the electricity necessary to operate data centers.

00:37:01.620 Data centers are being used by both those on the far right and the far left without being honest about the facts.

00:37:10.000 I'm Roger Stone, bringing you the truth about data centers right here in the Stone Zone.

00:37:14.540 Thanks for joining us until tomorrow.
