In the first episode of 2026, CNN White House Chief Strategist Larry Kudlow presents the first edition of his annual Best and Worst Dressed list, which honors the best and worst dressed people in the world. The list was created in honor of the late Larry Blackwell, who served as the first guest on the list, and who died in 2008.
00:00:37.600You are now entering the Stone Zone, our very first show of 2026.
00:00:43.960New Year's Day not only marks the moment that we begin striving to improve ourselves,
00:00:48.520but also the debut of my international 17th annual Best and Worst Dress List.
00:00:56.480I've been producing this list now since the late Mr. Blackwell, a very influential Hollywood
00:01:03.980syndicated columnist who produced this list for 48 years, passed away in 2008. In fact,
00:01:10.920I have produced it every year, with one exception, that being 2019, when a corrupt federal judge
00:01:18.260unconstitutionally gagged me from having any public comment at all. You know, I first noticed
00:01:24.640in American politics when I was much younger that people who were both well-groomed and well-turned
00:01:30.480out were treated much better than those who were not. I became intrigued with a silhouette, a
00:01:37.320specific style of tailoring that was pioneered by a company called Anderson and Shepard. Anderson
00:01:44.680Shepard was one of the most famous bespoke tailors on Savile Row, and they featured a very soft
00:01:54.180shouldered, very fluid, very comfortable suit with a very full drape in both the chest and the back
00:02:04.740and a very full cut trouser. I really couldn't afford Savile Row tailoring. I started going to
00:02:12.660a New York tailor by the name of Alan Flusser. And over, I would say, a 10-year period, I probably
00:02:19.340spent, I don't know, 200, $250,000. I was a very influential Washington Wheeler dealer in that
00:02:27.860period. And then incredibly, when I was arrested in the Russian collusion hoax, in an incredible
00:02:35.820rush to judgment, I saw my own tailor, Alan Flusser, in an interview on YouTube saying that
00:02:42.480I should go to jail. This, of course, was before I was later completely exonerated when Robert
00:02:49.320Mueller's full, final, unredacted report was released, and even he couldn't deny on page 178
00:02:57.300that he'd found no evidence of Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime
00:03:04.580on my part. So I find it interesting now that I've picked up this important tradition,
00:03:12.660the 2025 edition of the International Best and Worst Dressed, because I always looked at the year
00:03:18.080retrospectively, has many familiar names. Some continue to embrace the fact that style is
00:03:25.100timeless. Others continue to pass off the latest fashion trend or hideous ghetto wardrobes as true1.00
00:03:32.600style, forgetting that unlike style, fashion is fleeting. But you see, style is forever.0.89
00:03:39.460The core basis for inclusion on my list remains firm. It's not about politics. In fact, Joe Biden
00:03:45.880and Ted Kennedy have both been on my list in previous years. It's all about style. The ongoing
00:03:53.120train wreck of transgender fashion continues to bastardize the true meaning of style and has only1.00
00:03:59.680become more vile, more putrid, and has also added to the grotesquely vile public displays that have1.00
00:04:06.400no basis in either style or fashion. Men should dress like men and women should dress like women.0.98
00:04:12.780But as we've said before, it is entirely acceptable to take risks with your personal style, but rules exist for a reason, a basic starting point that anyone on a budget reading list can adhere to being stylish in your sartorial efforts.0.93
00:04:27.900But before you break the rules, you need to have to understand the rules.
00:04:32.960So just as you don't order fish in a steakhouse, you shouldn't wear a jean jacket to a wedding, just as you wouldn't show up in a three-piece suit to a bowling alley.
00:04:42.820Workout clothes are for the gym, not the mall.
00:04:45.680As I noted in my 2018 book, Stone's Rules,
00:04:49.000which included a foreword by my good friend Tucker Carlson,
00:04:52.240the best-dressed person is the one who appropriately dresses
00:04:55.400for the activity which they intend to engage in.
00:04:58.540It's amazing how many people just don't get that simple point.
00:05:02.040In the past, we've made it a point to highlight those who have shown us
00:05:05.080that they not only know style, but they adhere to it on a daily basis.
00:05:09.000It's why we created the Lifetime Achievement category in order to create room for uppers and comers.
00:05:16.220So with our 2025 International Best and Worst International Dressed list,
00:05:23.020we unveiled the new Icon Awards for those who continue to wow us with their sartorial splendor.
00:05:31.200Now, in past years, we've had the Lifetime Achievement Award.
00:05:35.280Those would include former White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow, CNN's Mike Smirconish, CBS Sports' Shannon Sharp, rocker Mark Ronson, New York PR whiz Audrey Gelman, and Pennsylvania politico Gordon Woodrow, as well as first daughter Ivanka Trump.
00:05:55.040They've all graced our best dress list for multiple years and all are once again celebrated this year.
00:06:01.780But this year, we have initiated something new. It's the Hall of Fame Icon Awards, and nobody deserves this more than Melania Trump.
00:06:11.940America has not had a more stylish, chic, cultured, and well-dressed First Lady since Jackie Kennedy.0.78
00:06:19.580We said this last year when she was the first official abductee of our Hall of Fame.0.93
00:06:24.660Quite possibly our favorite look for the First Lady in 2025 was that kind of beige-ish, light-brown, three-piece pant trouser she debuted during her trip to the U.S. Capitol, where she secured $25 million for foster children through her Be Best initiative.
00:06:43.360Also on our icon list, the veteran journalist and Dateline host, Josh Mankiewicz,
00:06:49.100who's been on this list too many times to count.
00:06:51.520In the past few years, he's been eating healthy and embracing the benefits of daily exercise.
00:06:57.060Mankiewicz, with whom I share a birthday, can be subtle for the most part with his attire,
00:07:02.180but is a master of using ties and pocket squares to showcase a little color, a little personality.
00:07:08.540From pinstripes to solid colors, with or without a tie, and sometimes more casually collared shirts, he is always dressed for the occasion.
00:07:18.340What would any fashion list be without mentioning King Charles, whether it's Savile Row or Old Burlington?
00:07:26.480The reigning monarch refuses to have the paparazzi bird dog hymn in anything but the best.
00:07:33.720The king has been known to have his jackets made by one tailor while his trousers are made by
00:07:39.020another. And that's the role of the monarch, of course, to look the part. We talk about dressing
00:07:44.620for the occasion and thankfully for his highness, he knows, always knows exactly what to do.
00:07:51.340Now we go to our best dress category. Monica Crowley, the former Fox News anchor, former
00:07:58.820Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary, now serving in President Donald Trump's
00:08:04.460office of the Chief of Protocol for the State Department of State for the new golden age.
00:08:11.100While I like her inclination to mainly embrace a pastel-driven wardrobe, she can also pull off0.92
00:08:17.300a simple black pantsuit with a crisp white shirt with ease. She's versatile, independent,
00:08:22.280she has flair, simple, and always correct. Mona Crowley deserves her position on this year's
00:08:29.700list. Then there's Conor McGregor, the notorious, the greatest, the legendary UFC champion in both
00:08:36.840mixed martial arts and UFC, a true Irish patriot with a deep love for mixing martial arts. And
00:08:44.080inside the octagon, he's bold, brash, and brazen, perfectly aligning with his personal persona
00:08:51.020when he exits the cage, but when it comes to style, the notorious has always been notoriously
00:08:57.560well turned out. Whether it's a pinstripe, tartan, or plaid base, McGregor not only understands proper
00:09:04.720tailoring, but also how to utilize all elements of a three-piece suit, just as well as the process
00:09:11.020of how to remove certain aspects to appear more casual when necessary. Our favorite look has been
00:09:16.700his black tie that he wore at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach recently, and that pinstripe
00:09:22.980perfection he embraced during a visit to the White House. If you look at the pinstripes very
00:09:28.340carefully, they say something, well, that we can't mention on a family radio show.
00:09:35.680Tulsi Gabbard also is on my international best dress list for 2025. This lifelong public servant
00:09:43.900has gone from the state legislature to the United States Congress, to being a leading
00:09:48.900Democrat candidate for president of the United States, to being a Republican and now serving as
00:09:54.140the director of national intelligence. All the while, she was a combat medical specialist in
00:10:00.220the U.S. Army, even taking leave from her role as a state representative to defend America abroad
00:10:06.480and serving in the war in Afghanistan. She is today a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
00:10:12.800that kind of public service self-defines her ethos, but her easy style is just as important.0.87
00:10:20.800Hillary Clinton made pantsuits the butt of every joke, but Director Gabbard has rehabilitated the0.99
00:10:26.260pantsuit and set this sartorial tone for women who want to look the part without wearing an0.60
00:10:32.040oversized smock like so many others. Stephen A. Smith, the Noah Holzbard, Bronx-born sports
00:10:40.480analysts undoubtedly shaped the success of ESPN with his high-energy hot takes on the world of
00:10:46.660sports. From first and 10 to pardon the interruption to Jim Rome is burning, Stephen A's
00:10:53.740bombastic commentary has earned him his own imprint on ESPN, where he now hosts First Take.
00:11:01.120Unlike the many athletes turned commentators who throw together clashing patterns and designs,
00:11:07.340not to mention horrendous tailoring, Stephen A. is always bespoke and on point. Although
00:11:12.800traditionally favoring slate gray suits, he integrates houndtooth and plaid with ease.
00:11:17.940When he wants to be a little bolder, he is one of the few modern men who can pull off fuchsia and
00:11:23.820purple fabrics with aplomb. Mrs. Stone and I love his role as mob boss fixer Brick on General
00:11:32.000Hospital, who plays opposite Godfather of Port Charles' boss, Sonny Corinthos.
00:11:39.820Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna is on my best-dressed list. Ms. Luna's political stances1.00
00:11:46.120might not be your cup of tea, but they're mine. But to doubt that she's one of the best turned
00:11:51.220out members of Congress is not really up for discussion. Tulsi Gabbard certainly gave her
00:11:56.640the template for success sartorially, which she has wholeheartedly embraced since being sworn in
00:12:02.640in 2023. However, Ms. Luna's crowning achievement in 2025 was pulling off a series of three-piece
00:12:10.760pantsuit looks with a tie to boot. To do this consistently without sacrificing feminine elements1.00
00:12:17.700is enough to earn her a permanent spot on my very best dressed list. Greg Kelly, who you can hear
00:12:25.580right here on this very red apple broadcast, adheres to the KISS method. That means keep it
00:12:33.940simple, stupid. When preparing for his live shows or his broadcasts, one cannot underestimate this1.00
00:12:40.860approach. And we all have felt some moments to take a chance with our wardrobe, which is
00:12:45.280understandable. But as most of us like consistency in journalism, Kelly likes consistency in the
00:12:51.600simplicity of his ensemble. Kelly once mused on social media about taking over the authorship
00:12:57.900of this very list on an annual basis, and I told him he could have it as soon as I died.
00:13:05.740Carolina Amnesty is an incredibly devout Christian, former Florida state representative,
00:13:11.460been on our radar for best dressed for a couple years, despite being fabricated, pardon me,
00:13:17.140despite facing fabricated state charges that were engineered by Governor Ron DeSantis and a bogus
00:13:23.600federal indictment, both of which were dismissed, amnesty style mirrors a lot of the elements that
00:13:29.360earned First Lady Melania Trump a spot on our Hall of Fame icon section. Always form-fitting,
00:13:36.300versatile, and able to add subtle elements that pay homage to the greats like Jackie O.
00:13:41.340Pay particularly attention to her shoes. They're by Prada. This is her first year on the best
00:13:47.700dressed list, but I really doubt it will be her last. You're listening to the Stone Zone with
00:13:54.640Roger Stone today. We're going over my 17th annual international best and worst dressed list. These
00:14:02.100are the best and worst dressed people on the planet. I know many of you are waiting to get
00:14:08.180to the worst list. Hold on, hold on. We'll get there in just a minute. It's harder and harder
00:14:13.240to put this list together every year. While it's not hard to find those who are poorly dressed,
00:14:19.060I don't want to mention any names, Steve Bannon, but finding those who really are exemplary in the
00:14:25.520way they present themselves to the public or present themselves every day just gets harder
00:14:30.940and harder. You're listening to The Stone Zone. Don't go away because we'll be right back.
00:14:39.180The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:15:22.340However, he caught our eye this year for a phenomenal look at the 2025 Met Gala.
00:15:27.780The simplicity of an all-black look mixed with a perfectly fitted three-piece suit,
00:15:32.780double-breasted overcoat with a flared collar made him not only the best-dressed man in
00:15:37.580attendance, but also showed his refusal to dress in a feminizing or holly-weird fashion.0.79
00:15:43.700Thank you, President Donald Trump, for fighting for Rocky's return to the U.S. from a Swedish
00:15:49.380prison in 2019. Continuing with our very best-dressed look, the former RNC chairwoman,
00:15:57.260Laura Trump, wife of Eric Trump, presidential son, dedicated mother, and a newly minted Fox
00:16:03.920News host with her own show, My View, that airs on the weekends, can't be held down when it comes
00:16:09.440to style. From respectable casual to chic to the I mean business look, you can never predict what
00:16:16.320will adorn this veteran news producer. Instead of this leading to a fever dream of horrible choices
00:16:21.660that you can't make any sense of, one can always count on the fact when she enters the room,0.98
00:16:26.740Mrs. Trump will always turn heads for all the right reasons.
00:16:32.580Then, of course, there is the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, the current Secretary of the United States Treasury,
00:16:38.800is working overtime to restore the American economy, a job so stressful and vast that it would be understandable,
00:16:46.360although not acceptable, if he was lax when it came to his sartorial identity.
00:16:50.660Thankfully, however, the successful businessman and Yale graduate has proven his intelligence extends beyond being one of the most brilliant economic minds in America.
00:17:01.520The fit, the cut, the classic ties all give us the perfect blend of Wall Street wizard turned public servant and an exemplary example of true Ivy League style.
00:17:14.120I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Reverend Al Sharpton.
00:17:19.560Thinner, fitter, calmer, and collected, Reverend Al is a lightning rod for sure.
00:17:25.220But remember, this list isn't about politics, it's about style.
00:17:29.060And his ability to go through a personal fitness transformation
00:17:32.280while sticking to the core tenets of style over fashion are nothing short of remarkable.
00:17:39.180Like his politics or not, the man is always well-dressed.
00:17:42.860Long gone are the track suits and the gold chains.
00:17:46.840Clean eating has allowed Sharpton to embrace the power of sartorial splendor.
00:17:51.940Whether it is a single-breasted suit or a double-breasted suit, whether it is a white collar on a collared shirt, on a striped shirt, he is always outstanding.
00:18:04.340Reverend Al and I might not agree about much when it comes to politics, but I certainly agree with his sartorial choices.
00:18:11.480And I guess I have to reemphasize that point. My international best and worst dress list now in its 17th year is not about politics. It's about those who are particularly well-dressed and those who are not.
00:18:28.040Listen to The Stone Zone. I'm Roger Stone. Whatever you do, don't go away. We'll be right back with the rest of this year's list. You're not going to want to miss this.
00:18:36.400the stone zone entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network and we're back in
00:18:48.400the stone zone for 17 years now on new year's day i have been unveiled my international best and
00:18:57.320worst dress list this is a custom that i picked up from the late mr blackwell who was a very
00:19:04.420influential syndicated Hollywood columnist. Blackwell's opinion of your clothes could
00:19:10.060make titans of business or movie stars, could destroy the career of a movie starlet or an
00:19:17.220athlete. And when he died, I picked up this tradition. Let's continue with our best dressed
00:19:23.740list. Laura Logan is a respected journalist with a career spanning over 30 years and the courage
00:19:31.360to survive her attack by radicalized Egyptians who sexually assaulted her.
00:19:37.040That would have been enough for others to retire, but not Laura Logan.
00:19:40.760She's a woman of courage and strength.
00:19:43.080She has not only maintained her stellar career,
00:19:45.280but has also maintained a strict adherence to actual style,
00:19:48.800not faux fashion that so many journalists become enamored or co-opted with
00:19:53.700to please their viewers and their bosses.
00:19:56.500She's always been talented and well-dressed.
00:19:58.620she's earned her place on this year's list. John Tobacco is a reporter. He works over at Newsmax,
00:20:08.720hosts the show The Wise Guys on the dogged alternative media platform, has stories to tell
00:20:14.500and advice to give his views. Well, that's his job, one that he does extremely well. Tobacco dresses
00:20:20.540with old style flair and a touch of the old neighborhood. Last year, he got an honorable
00:20:26.080mention, this year he moves up to the list. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the current U.S. ambassador
00:20:34.000to Greece, former Fox News commentator, and a one-time California prosecutor, has had a wide-ranging
00:20:41.680career. Guilfoyle was very famous as a prosecutor because, well, she never once lost a case,0.98
00:20:48.900and she famously always gave her summation to the juries without a single note. Her adherence0.65
00:20:55.940to style has been one constant over the decades. She's been on the list before. She knows and
00:21:03.700understands the rules. However, we all slip up from time to time, but Guilfoyle's record of
00:21:08.720being a jack-of-all-trades professionally and the brutal attacks from her by the media have not
00:21:14.560broken her dedication or understanding of the authentic and purposeful decisions when it comes
00:21:19.820to her wardrobe or her duties as the U.S. ambassador to Greece. By the way, the dress
00:21:26.200she wore recently that outraged Greek society through the tabloids was not sheer or see-through.
00:21:33.000It actually had a flesh-toned body stocking. Critics just need to step back.1.00
00:21:40.100Wayne Allen Roots, another personality on our international best and worst dress list,
00:21:46.320ever who's been told to diversify their investments, time, or emotional output on their
00:21:50.920passion project. Wayne, who's been on this list before, has lived an extremely diversified life.
00:21:56.880He was a producer of Ghost Adventures, a radio host, a television host, a podcast host, a candidate
00:22:03.040for vice president on the Libertarian Party. We would challenge anyone to find someone who's
00:22:08.960mastered the pinstripe suit, the light blue dress shirt with a unmatching white collar and cuffs,
00:22:15.140plus a red power tie better than Wayne. He has a great, great tailor. Bobby Jeffries is an up-and-coming
00:22:23.320young man. He's from the chocolate bubble near Hershey, Pennsylvania, a devoted practitioner,
00:22:29.280I might say, of Stone's Rules, probably the youngest person on this list. He has the look,
00:22:34.720impeccable tailoring, bold, yes, timeless classic style, and a striking Kennedy-esque type charisma
00:22:41.440that evokes the golden age of American elegance.
00:22:44.920This staunch America first conservative activist, author, and rising political force
00:22:49.840pairs sharply cut suits, crisp shirts, and timeless accessories
00:22:54.140with the unapologetic confidence of a true modern dandy.
00:22:58.280Whether on the campaign trail or rallying the faithful, Bobby Jay, as he calls himself,
00:23:04.160proves that principled patriotism and sartorial splendor are a perfect match.
00:23:09.420His impressive debut on my international best dressed list is well-earned, and mark my words, it certainly won't be his last year on the list.
00:23:19.760Romero Brito, the Brazilian-born multicultural artist who's called Miami home since the 1980s,
00:23:27.400possesses a talent that has attracted major brands like Apple, IBM, BMW, Absolute,
00:23:33.880and installations spanning from JFK Airport to Hyde Park across the pond in London.
00:23:40.420He has allowed his work to raise vast sums of money for over 250 organizations worldwide,
00:23:46.380from the Prince's Trust to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
00:23:50.480Brito, who I met recently, is a true man of style.
00:23:53.740I would call his style eclectic and a bit chaotic,
00:23:57.240as is Cubist and Pop Art Masterpieces.
00:24:00.500But Brito makes the best dress list for the first time in 2025
00:24:04.020because he always dresses for the occasion.
00:24:07.720But he also injects his personal flair each time
00:24:10.340without sacrificing fashion before style.
00:24:13.340We're sure one of the most collective artists in the modern history and is standing as an institution at the annual International Art Basel Festival in Miami Beach certainly stands as the most consequential honors under his belt.
00:24:29.040Perhaps his being on the best dressed list this year could be his third highest honor.
00:24:35.300Now, of course, we get to the worst dress before diving in to some of the truly ungodly displays of horrific fashion repackaged by the entertainment industry, commentators, influencers and industry experts as forward thinking acts of bravery.
00:24:55.760I want to say that this year's list of those who are worst dressed will be brief.
00:25:01.080There are far too many misguided souls to hold accountable for high crimes against good taste and breaking them down writ large assumes the risk of actually proliferating these grotesque displays to the extent that younger generations then turn around and mimic them simply to be ironic.
00:25:20.220However, a casual reminder of former nominees and a few newcomers to this list
00:25:25.980should serve as a casual reminder of the unspeakable fashion-forward atrocities against good taste.
00:25:38.660Perhaps he thinks he's pioneering toothless hobo chic,
00:25:43.120but this unbathed, unshaven, greasy-haired Jeffrey Epstein running buddy
00:25:49.400looks downright slovenly. I doubt that he's brushed his teeth in years, frankly. The recent
00:25:55.900photos released of Bannon with his friend Jeffrey Epstein, taken long after Epstein was convicted of
00:26:01.860sex crimes in Florida and Bannon was fired from his White House job, show why Bannon refers to
00:26:08.540their recently detailed emails to Epstein as brother. Perhaps with the money he's getting
00:26:16.780from the CCP now to promote their AI, he can afford a better wardrobe, but don't bet on him
00:26:23.120taking a bath. Folks at the Turning Point USA's recent annual America Fest gathering in Phoenix
00:26:29.980told me he literally stunk. This guy is nothing short of disgusting. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro0.99
00:26:40.780of Connecticut. It's hard to believe that this woman is actually an adult. The way she dresses,
00:26:47.160the purple hair, the green eye shades, dressing like a child. It's asinine, childish, embarrassing.1.00
00:26:56.300Need I say more? Then there is Rachel Dick Levine. Behold the unfortunate spectacle of Admiral Rachel0.99
00:27:05.520Dick Levine, a figure who assaults the eyes with a relentless parade of ill-fitting frocks,
00:27:11.680dowdy dresses, and a complete disregard for tailoring, proportion, or the basic principles
00:27:18.180of elegance. Levine looks terrible as a man or a woman. This Biden-era bureaucrat, known for
00:27:25.260parading in admiral's uniforms that strain credibility and civilian outfits that scream
00:27:30.880frump in a slump, lacks even the faintest whisper of judgment, with shoulders that overwhelm,
00:27:37.640helms that sag, and a palate as dreary as a government memo. Levine embodies the very
00:27:43.460antithesis of sartorial sophistication, a walking, talking, fashion catastrophe.
00:27:50.260Whether clumsily appropriating military regalia or stumbling through public appearances0.94
00:27:54.960in matronly ensembles that no discerning eye could endorse, this perennial offender proves that
00:28:01.920some simply do not have the look and never will. A regrettable fixture on my international worst1.00
00:28:08.600address list and one that, alas, shows no signs whatsoever of redemption. Then there is a Senator
00:28:16.880John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Now, Fetterman has turned out to be a true moderate. I have to admit
00:28:23.900that I do respect his political stances, but this towering Pennsylvania senator has turned
00:28:29.800the U.S. Capitol into his personal gym locker. Baggy Carhartt hoodies paired with gym shorts,
00:28:37.580sneakers, and a perpetual just-rolled-out-of-bed vibe, even at formal events like presidential
00:28:43.260inaugurations or a State of the Union speech. This isn't casual Friday. It's perpetual slob
00:28:50.340Sunday. A grown man in one of the world's most prestigious legislative bodies, dressing like1.00
00:28:56.720he's headed to a pickup basketball game or a sheets run. Decorum demands dignity, but Fetterman
00:29:03.800delivers the opposite. A deliberate middle finger to tradition, respect, and, well, basic decorum.
00:29:11.600Suits exist for a reason, Senator, and this endless parade of sweatshop chic is a wardrobe
00:29:18.440misdemeanor that became a felony. For a man who exudes common sense and is emerging as a true
00:29:24.800moderate, I just wish he would dress with the decorum of a U.S. Senator. Then, of course, there
00:29:32.060is Congresswoman Kat Kamek. Florida is known for the ironic Florida man memes and legends, but
00:29:39.080Congresswoman Kat Kamek is what you would find in Merriam's Webster's Dictionary above the0.99
00:29:44.680definition of Florida woman. She rode her way to the United States Congress for sure, but not before1.00
00:29:51.880securing agreement from Taco Bell, demanding two family-sized party packs daily in return for
00:29:58.960recognizing them on the floor of the U.S. House for their, quote, organic ingredients. She thinks
00:30:05.400she's going to be lieutenant governor, but I think that's unlikely. She's better dressed to be an1.00
00:30:10.020inmate in the Clay County, Florida jail. That's Congresswoman Kat Comack. And of course,1.00
00:30:17.040here's an honorable mention for this year. That would be Teddy Swims. Teddy Swims' meteoric rise
00:30:23.360has led him to consistently smashing records in Billboard number one spots longer than any other
00:30:29.860artist in history. However, his cross-genre appeal musically also is apparent sartorial.
00:30:38.220Yes, he periodically blends fashion, which is fleeting with style, which is, as I say, timeless.
00:30:43.160But this is acceptable because he understands the critical importance of dressing for the occasion.
00:30:50.380When he's performing at the Vatican with opera icon Andre Bocelli, his first concert ever at the Vatican,
00:30:58.140he embraces a traditional approach with enough flair to be unique without creating a distraction.
00:31:03.280Too many stars on the uptick go full Hollywood to appease fleeting fashion trends, justifying crimes against style to collect a check, but not Teddy Swims.
00:31:15.000So congratulations to those who've earned a spot on our best and worst dress list.
00:31:21.500We will produce this list again next year.
00:31:25.200I'm particularly proud that I produced it in the same year that I produced my own line of menswear.
00:31:31.380I got tired of not being able to find what I wanted at a reasonable price.
00:31:37.500Many times I find that young men will say to me, well, I'd love to dress better, but
00:33:15.240In the closing months of 2025, amid an even deeper federal probe into Minnesota's never-ending Feed Our Future fraud scandal,
00:33:24.620Rose Lake Capital, co-founded by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's husband, Tim Minette,
00:33:31.840quietly removed the names and biographies of nine high-profile officers and advisors from their website.
00:33:38.640Among them were several Obama-era officials and ambassadors eliminating any remaining trace of their once-celebrated connections.
00:33:48.940Now, when Congresswoman Ilhan Omar entered Congress in 2019, her 2018 financial disclosure showed a negative net worth of about $45,000, largely due to debts outweighing modest assets.
00:34:03.640But by 2024, the household net worth had zored to an estimated $30 million.
00:34:19.460and these apparent gains stem almost entirely from her husband, Tim Minette's ventures,
00:34:24.940which entered filings after their March 2020 marriage.
00:34:28.740Key assets, including Rose Lake Capital, founded in 2022, which jumped from under $1,000 in value, as well as somewhere between $5 and $25 million in value, as well as a California winery they owned, valued at between $1,000 and $5,000, now being valued at over $1 million.
00:34:56.840Smaller amounts came from retirement and congressional savings accounts and the minimal income from said winery
00:35:05.000Offsets often included student loans and credit card debt with no reported income from Rose Lake in 2024
00:35:12.460This explosive wealth growth has ignited fierce criticism and speculation
00:35:17.820particularly since it coincides with the massive Minnesota fraud that has been effectuated now
00:35:25.420regarding federal spending having to do with child care, transportation, and other COVID-related
00:35:33.600costs. Before it's over, this will be a multi-billion dollar scandal and will spill over
00:35:39.960from Minnesota into Michigan, into Ohio, into Washington State, into Oregon, according to
00:35:47.460President Trump. We're going to hear more about it in both California and New York. I go back to
00:35:53.660the very most basic of questions. Ilhan Omar married her own brother in order to illegally0.58
00:36:02.620enter the United States. So why she has not been deported, why she has not been denaturalized,
00:36:10.880I really don't understand. Unless, of course, there are different rules for different people.
00:36:15.840And while we're at it, I ask one more time, what did Governor Tim Walz know and what did he know
00:36:23.260it? What did Timpon Tim know about the fleeting multi-million soon to be billion dollar epic
00:36:31.120fraud against the taxpayers that were taking place in Minnesota? It's a question that I'll
00:36:37.480let you answer. I'm still waiting for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Associated Press,
00:36:42.900MSNBC CNN and all the usual suspects to report on this massive fraud against the taxpayers but then
00:36:51.880I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet I'm Roger Stone
00:36:59.020you'll be listening to the Stone Zone we appreciate your listening to us last year we're delighted to
00:37:04.060have you with us this year we're particularly happy that you were here today for the unveiling
00:37:09.320of my 17th annual international best and worst dress list. I'm Roger Stone. Until tomorrow,
