00:00:00.000The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:07.580Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.600He is a New York Times best-selling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:17.240As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:22.660and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:27.640Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:33.600And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:41.460Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:46.580Well, yesterday I spoke to the East Valley Republican Women's Patriots Club in Palm Desert, California.
00:00:54.140Then I took the red-eye back to South Florida, where Hurricane Milton is barreling towards us.
00:01:03.420I haven't slept in 48 hours, but there's a story out there that is so big, well, I had to cover it myself.
00:01:10.280You see, there's a big controversy brewing in the city of Amsterdam, New York,
00:01:15.020a once-vibrant manufacturing city that was laid low by the globalist trade policies that shipped all the jobs to China.
00:01:25.100But Anthony Constantino, who is the chief executive officer of Sticker Mule,
00:01:30.740one of the most successful and vibrant printing companies on the Internet, has brought that town back.
00:01:37.580And he commemorated it with a sign, a sign that has become extremely controversial.
00:01:44.140And we're going to celebrate that sign. Let's roll this video.
00:01:47.860Since I was a kid, the iconic found sign in upstate New York was a symbol of American manufacturing moving to China.0.66
00:01:56.140The founds company completely shut down operations in 1984, when I was only two years old,
00:02:02.260moving everything overseas and decimating my home city.0.52
00:02:05.340The people left, little by little, and a once-vibrant city became a depressed town.
00:02:11.060Throughout my life, the founds sign defined my hometown skyline.
00:02:15.520It was clearly visible from the thruway and seen by millions of people every year as they passed by or arrived to Amsterdam, New York.
00:02:22.960I never expected to own the iconic founds building, but my own company, Sticker Mule, grew so quickly,
00:02:29.340we ended up buying almost every functional manufacturing building in Amsterdam, creating nearly 1,000 manufacturing jobs thus far in the process.
00:02:38.200For the last two years, we debated what to do with the found sign.
00:02:42.700Given everything happening in the world today, we decided to replace it with an equally iconic and symbolic sign
00:02:49.740that represents the return of manufacturing jobs to America and the triumph of the underdog against insurmountable adversity.
00:02:58.800No one thought we'd build a massive manufacturing company in America.
00:03:02.680Just as no one expected a certain individual would become president, survive multiple assassination attempts,
00:03:09.800and inspire people all around the world that they're able to do more than they ever dreamed possible.
00:03:15.700Our vote for Trump sign, designed by a team of local artists, uplifts the Amsterdam-New York skyline
00:03:21.720with the symbolic message that manufacturing can return to America,
00:03:26.340and no one should need to fear supporting the man leading the charge to make it happen.
00:03:36.200So, Anthony Constantino is the chief executive officer, as he said, of Sticker Mule,
00:03:41.740which is, as I said, one of the most vibrant and successful printing companies on the Internet.
00:03:47.160He's been able to grow that company to over 1,200 employees in 39 countries with factories in New York, South Carolina, and Italy.
00:03:56.720Along the way, he's become multilingual.
00:04:32.180When 29 heavily armed FBI agents show up at your home at 6 o'clock in the morning brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons to arrest you for a non-existent crime,
00:04:44.840you figure out how rough and tumble the world of politics is.
00:04:48.540And it's the same people who attacked me who are now attacking you.
00:04:52.140I think what you've done is absolutely amazing, but evidently some of the bureaucrats in the city of Amsterdam are not too pleased, are they?
00:05:02.620Yeah, this whole thing came together very quickly.
00:05:05.000It was designed and designed by an incredible team of artists locally.
00:05:08.300And as soon as it came together, we put together an event, and people wanted to come in from all over the country.
00:05:19.960The mayor found out, and he served me as a restraining order to block me from lighting or displaying the sign.
00:05:25.760I had to cover it up under court order, and not quite as bad as yourself, but up until 30 minutes before I was actually starting the party to light the sign,
00:05:36.340my lawyer told me, if you light that sign, you're going to jail for up to 30 days.
00:05:41.640He told me, honestly, he couldn't advise me how bad it was going to be.
00:05:44.680He said he's not allowed to do that, but he said, if you light that sign, you're going to jail.
00:06:44.440This company that owned the building prior to you, they shut down when you were two years old.
00:06:51.220I remember when upstate New York was a vibrant center of industry and manufacturing.
00:06:57.180But the high tax policies of New York State, combined with the unfavorable trade practices of the United States, have dried up once beautiful towns like Amsterdam, New York.
00:07:44.720But, you know, they left and they went to China.
00:07:46.840They're still around today doing good, but they're doing everything in China.
00:07:49.300So when we decided to put the sign up, I said,
00:07:51.200this sign is going to symbolize the return of the return of American manufacturing.
00:07:55.820He said it's going to symbolize the triumph of the underdog against all adversity, because I think Trump triumphed against tremendous adversity in our own way.
00:08:05.900But when they did what they did with the restraining order and threatening to throw me in jail, the sign became, I think, a bigger symbol.
00:08:11.980I think it's a symbol for the global fight for free speech now that Elon's fighting on behalf of.
00:08:16.980A lot of people are fighting on behalf of free speech, unfortunately, because, you know, probably better than I do, because I don't follow it as closely as you do.
00:08:24.380But I'm hearing people like Tim Waltz, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton all go on record saying they want to get rid of the First Amendment.
00:08:30.660My mayor trampled on the First Amendment trying to force me to cover up the sign under court order, you know, already trampled on the First Amendment.
00:08:37.220And then had me worried I was going to go to jail or I don't know if I was worried or not worried.
00:08:42.520I mean, it was moving so quickly, but had me calling my mom talking about whether I should go to jail and take a hit for the team,
00:08:48.340talking to Henry Cejudo and Kelvin Gaston and Tracy Cortez, three UNC superstars who happened to be out here to support us about whether I should go to jail and call all my friends.
00:08:57.260And yeah, so I think the sign's a symbol for a lot of things now.
00:09:00.720American manufacturing coming back, the triumph of the underdog, President Trump triumphed.
00:09:05.480And now it's really a symbol of our global fight for free speech, which is a fight we really shouldn't be in.
00:09:11.400Interestingly enough, a new piece on Substack by Captain Seth Ketchel actually shows that New York could be within reach for Donald Trump.
00:19:22.540A couple of weeks ago, we showed a clip of you on, of Joe Biden on The View.
00:19:27.920When he was asked why he dropped out, he kind of looked at the floor.
00:19:31.280He pointed out that his poll numbers were about the same place that Kamala Harris's poll numbers are today, which means running slightly behind Donald Trump and what is turning out to be a relatively close race.
00:19:45.180I'm convinced that Joe Biden is now purposely undermining Kamala Harris.
00:19:51.720First, when she was about to take the stage at a rally to announce the settlement of the Longshoremen's strike, Joe Biden, for the first time in his presidency, went to the press room at the White House.
00:21:15.900There was a rough start in some places, but every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing.
00:21:39.400Joe Biden, I think, actively undermining Kamala Harris.
00:21:43.540A couple of weeks ago, when Joe Biden was seen wearing a Trump hat, subsequently had his picture taken with a group of schoolchildren who were wearing Trump T-shirts.
00:21:54.640No, that wasn't because he's crazy or because he's got dementia.
00:22:35.780Why should African-American Michiganders vote for the Trump Vance ticket?
00:22:42.780Well, you know, we've got a great number of black Americans in this crowd right now.
00:22:50.580They could probably answer that question better than I could.
00:22:52.540Thank you, Senator Historian with CBS News.
00:22:59.260You said in an interview with Newsmax yesterday that FEMA was – disaster relief was being used to fund migrant – to focus on migrants, rather.
00:23:12.040Donald Trump also said on Truth Social that most, if not all, of the money that FEMA has spent is on migrants.
00:23:19.500FEMA officials say that's just not true.
00:23:22.420What evidence do you guys have to suggest that?
00:23:27.900And by the way, I just want to make an observation about these reporters.
00:23:32.740And I appreciate the question is, you know, when people say that they feel endangered by a crowd voicing their opinion – well, look, my friends, the First Amendment goes in both directions.
00:23:43.320Extraordinary performance by J.D. Vance.
00:23:48.080It shows you how one debate can change everything.
00:23:51.180And in that debate, interestingly enough, I would have been more strident.
00:23:54.840I probably would have hit Walsh a little harder.
00:23:58.040But J.D. Vance chose a different strategy.
00:24:18.200He's earned everything he has, a distinguished academic career, a distinguished business career.
00:24:24.960But unlike Tim Walsh, who lied about his military record, well, J.D. Vance served his country with distinction and honor in the U.S. Marine Corps.
00:24:34.820You notice that issue did not come up.
00:24:37.100I'm sure Walsh had to sweat bullets preparing for it.
00:24:40.880And that guy, well, he's just strange.
00:24:44.000In the meantime, Kamala Harris is seeing herself starting to sink in these polls.1.00
00:24:50.040She has started to embark on this media tour.
00:24:53.480Let's take a look at some of Kamala Harris's recent garbled disasters.0.99
00:28:47.480Would you ever have thought that you'd be campaigning with Kamala Harris?
00:28:51.500I hope that if you had said to me four years ago, our Constitution is going to be under threat, and it's going to be crucial for the parties to come together and to support Vice President Harris because she'll defend the rule of law, I know I would have said that's exactly what I'll do.
00:29:07.160What does success look like in ending the war in Ukraine?
00:29:10.480There will be no success in ending that war without Ukraine and the U.N. Charter participating in what that success looks like.
00:29:19.300Would you meet with President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a solution to the war in Ukraine?
00:30:02.680Let's be clear about a couple of things.
00:30:06.420It wasn't during Donald Trump's four years that the Russians moved on Ukraine.
00:30:10.480No, it was Donald Trump who actually gave heavy-duty missiles, offensive missiles, to the Ukrainians.
00:30:18.820It was Barack Obama who gave them blankets, but they'd like us to forget that.
00:30:24.160As far as Liz Cheney is concerned, there's a giant realignment going on in this country where you have the war hawks of the Republican Party, the Cheneys, Dick Cheney, the vice president.
00:30:38.480He basically started a war based on a totally false premise, claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, also claiming that Iraq had played some role in the attack on the United States on 9-11.
00:31:14.340Meanwhile, you see Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Rod Blagojevich, other Democrats coming out for Donald Trump.
00:31:23.500There is a realignment going on in the country.
00:31:26.420It's the most significant political development really in my lifetime.
00:31:30.460I think it's very much like the realignment we saw in 1932 under Franklin Roosevelt, which kept the Democrats in the White House from 1932 until 1968.
00:31:43.240Then we had a second realignment in 1968, although Nixon won in a three-way race with a plurality, that new coalition of working class whites in the blue collar Catholics and white Southerners combined with traditional Republicans forms a new coalition that grows stronger, ultimately elects Ronald Reagan.
00:32:08.100And I would make an argument, also ultimately elects Donald Trump.
00:32:12.940So I see this giant realignment going on.
00:32:58.660He's been very vocal on the FEMA response to this horrific hurricane that has hit Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and now barreling a second hurricane towards Florida.
00:33:23.940I want to start by asking, Mr. President, what you're hearing on the ground from North Carolina.
00:33:27.800You've really been criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for their response to the fallout from Hurricane Helene.
00:33:32.680You've obviously been on the ground in places like Georgia during this.
00:33:35.380What are you hearing on the ground in North Carolina?
00:33:37.140Well, I was in North Carolina, and I got a pretty good dose because they asked me if I could help them with Elon Musk, who's a friend of mine and endorsed me.
00:34:13.760Yeah, Trump, I think, is in very rare form.
00:34:16.520Let me point out that they're now estimating that his crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania, may have been as large as 100,000 people.
00:34:25.580Now, I'm a veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns.
00:34:29.540I can tell you firsthand there's never been a political figure in the history of the country that could command that kind of public support.
00:34:37.480Yes, the president is very proud of that.
00:34:40.520But I also think it's an extraordinary act of courage.
00:34:44.340Let me point out that when the president was shot at, and, yes, it did graze his ear, this claim by the FBI that he cut himself when he fell is untrue.
00:34:56.640We have this new phenomena online, I call them assassination deniers, people who are trying to pretend this never happened.
00:35:04.760But when the president, even when he's surrounded by that scrum of Secret Service agents, when he puts up his fist and says fight, he doesn't know if there is still an active shooter.
00:35:16.020Jack Posobiec of Human Events was in Butler.
00:35:19.000He is digging deep into the whole question of the attempted assassination.
00:35:25.060But Trump's return to Butler had two significances.
00:35:29.380One, there's been a major effort to get this story completely out of the news.
00:35:35.960They don't want to talk about it because they understand that it demonstrates their failures.
00:35:41.000We had the announcement just days ago that the Justice Department has indefinitely postponed the prosecution of Ryan Routh, the man who is accused of trying to kill Donald Trump on a West Palm Beach golf course.
00:36:00.260But they tell us that the reason that they have to postpone his trial is because there's an enormous amount of new evidence about him that they have to review.
00:36:11.520And that could take them, in essence, they're saying, forever since they don't want to schedule a trial.
00:36:17.040Judge Eileen Cannon had scheduled that trial to start about a month from now.
00:36:22.240So my question is, what's in that data that they don't want us to see?
00:36:26.440It's not credible that a man, this man Routh, who they say was indigent, can't make his child support payments, has a failed business.
00:36:35.440Yet he was posting websites on the Internet seeking mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.
00:36:42.820He visited Ukraine, among other European countries.
00:36:46.400And somehow, well, somehow he got to Florida.
00:36:49.720Now, he wouldn't have the problems that, say, Tulsi Gabbard was had because she's on a secret TSA domestic terrorist watch list.0.85
00:37:01.220They actually actively spy on Tulsi Gabbard whenever she spies, whenever she flies, pardon me.
00:37:08.060House Republicans have grumbled about that, but they haven't gotten any answers.
00:37:12.500So my question, of course, is why are they delaying this trial?
00:37:17.100Now, let's take a look at Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:40:46.240We're going to have it strong, confident and free.
00:40:48.400Now, Kamala Harris has created this fiction that as a prosecutor, she was tough on crime, tough on gangs, tough on drug dealers, tough on the cartels.0.99
00:41:00.400In truth, her policy was a drug dealer had to be arrested three times before she would prosecute them.
00:41:07.620But the greatest scandal, one I spoke to OAN about earlier today, regards a woman named Sharae Peoples.
00:41:15.040Now, Sharae Peoples is a black woman.1.00
00:41:18.000And when Kamala Harris was the San Francisco district attorney, Sharae's daughter, Shayla, had sickle cell anemia.
00:41:28.160Therefore, she was missing from school.
00:41:31.180This had all been documented with the school.
00:41:33.500The school was well aware of the fact that Shayla suffered from this extraordinarily painful disease.
00:41:39.040In fact, 12-year-old Shayla actually had a stroke, and she required blood transfusions essentially every three weeks.
00:41:48.600But Kamala Harris was then the San Francisco district attorney, but she aspired to run for California attorney general.1.00
00:41:57.460So she made the issue of truancy, children missing from school, a major part of her platform.
00:42:04.640Then she decided to prosecute Sharae Peoples.0.55
00:42:08.940Now, Sharae Peoples was shocked at 6 o'clock in the morning, this sounds very familiar to me, when the police showed up to arrest her.
00:42:18.340She was arrested and perp walked out in front of all of her neighbors because Kamala Harris' prosecutors had tipped off the media.0.99
00:42:27.520She had a two-year fight over this bogus indictment.
00:42:31.640There's an extraordinarily good new documentary, which we're going to roll for you right now, by the documentary filmmaker, Joel Gilbert.
