00:01:04.180 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.

00:01:08.120 Here's Roger Stone.

00:01:09.640 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:01:16.280 Valentino, the legendary Italian designer who built one of the great fashion houses of the modern era,

00:01:23.660 has died at the age of 93.

00:01:26.360 While in his passing, the world loses not merely a designer, but a titan of the industry,

00:01:31.900 whose work reaffirmed timeless elegance, in my opinion, craftsmanship,

00:01:37.480 and the enduring beauty of femininity of the designers.

00:01:43.040 He, of course, was one of Nancy Reagan's favorites.

00:01:45.540 Born Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavati in Bulgaria, Italy in 1932,

00:01:54.060 Valentino was trained in the classical traditions of European haute couture at Paris' École des Beaux-Arts

00:02:02.800 and the Chamber Syndicale des Coutures Paris-Jean.

00:02:07.720 I'm not too proficient in the French language.

00:02:11.240 I mostly know Italian, and almost all of those are curse words.

00:02:14.440 Anyway, he appreciated, pardon me, he apprenticed under masters like Jacques Fath and Cristobal Belenchiaga

00:02:22.000 before returning to Rome, where he founded his own fashion house,

00:02:25.960 one of the true, true giants of fashion.

00:02:31.020 May he rest in peace.

00:02:34.100 Today is, of course, Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday observed every year on the third Monday of January.

00:02:40.860 The holiday was actually passed into law and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983.

00:02:48.620 My good friend Congressman Jack Kemp, Republican of upstate New York,

00:02:53.320 was one of the major public proponents.

00:02:57.460 And King's birthday became a national holiday after enormous public pressure and national debate.

00:03:05.140 Dr. Martin Luther King plays a very interesting role in the history of American presidential politics.

00:03:10.860 In 1960, he was arrested, leading a peaceful demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama, shortly before the 1960 election.

00:03:22.780 There were very real fears as to whether Dr. King was safe in a Birmingham, Alabama jail.

00:03:30.360 John F. Kennedy, running for president in a very tight race with Vice President Richard Nixon,

00:03:36.240 on the advice of his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy,

00:03:41.840 the father of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who currently serves as our Secretary of Health and Human Services,

00:03:50.720 made a calculated decision.

00:03:54.260 And while Senator Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, called the governor of Mississippi to demand the release of King,

00:04:02.240 Bobby Kennedy called the judge in the King case.

00:04:06.740 Vice President Richard Nixon was advised by William P. Rogers,

00:04:11.800 who was then the attorney general under Dwight Eisenhower,

00:04:15.500 that as an officer of the court,

00:04:18.280 Nixon was, of course, a lawyer,

00:04:19.960 it would be improper for him to call the judge.

00:04:23.220 This was an enormous calculated error.

00:04:26.020 Daddy King, that's Martin Luther King, Sr.,

00:04:29.980 who was at that time the chief pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church,

00:04:36.500 changed his position publicly from supporting Richard Nixon,

00:04:41.300 the sitting vice president,

00:04:43.240 to supporting John F. Kennedy.

00:04:46.360 That gesture, which became, of course, front page news across the country,

00:04:50.800 was very definitely a deciding factor in the very narrow defeat of Richard Nixon by Jack Kennedy.

00:05:00.300 What's interesting, however, is that after King's more successful march on Washington,

00:05:09.300 and more precisely, after he came out against the Vietnam War,

00:05:15.940 he was wiretapped by the Kennedy administration.

00:05:19.920 J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI,

00:05:25.140 who hated King and insisted that King was a communist.

00:05:29.980 P.S., no evidence ever emerged to show that King was a communist,

00:05:35.220 although it is clear that one Stanley Levinson,

00:05:39.220 among his entourage, was thought by King to be a communist.

00:05:43.860 But King was wiretapped, and those wiretaps were approved by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Sr.

00:05:55.040 Now, those wiretaps, of course, revealed some very embarrassing things about Dr. King.

00:06:02.460 We won't get into them because they're incredibly graphic,

00:06:04.900 but among other things, we learned that Dr. King was having multiple extramarital affairs with as many as 40 women

00:06:16.460 as he carried his fight for civil rights across the country.

00:06:22.120 All of this raises an uncomfortable but essential question.

00:06:27.280 Why are we celebrating the life of a man that the FBI tried to destroy?

00:06:31.840 You see, once the FBI under Hoover—this is one of the most disgraceful chapters in American governmental and political history—

00:06:39.340 But once Hoover obtained the evidence of King's infidelity,

00:06:45.180 he had letters sent to King threatening to exposing and suggesting that the civil rights icon commit suicide.

00:06:56.880 Fortunately, King did not do that.

00:07:00.180 Why does the government hold ceremonies, speeches, and official tributes today for a leader at once treated unfairly like a subversive enemy?

00:07:09.780 The answer is simple, because during the long arc of history,

00:07:13.900 people eventually recognized what the powerful tried to suppress,

00:07:18.460 and that is that Dr. King was right.

00:07:20.520 Despite his personal failures as a man, he had no failures as a leader.

00:07:25.360 He was a great leader who preached nonviolence in contrast to Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael and the Black Panthers 0.89

00:07:37.360 and others of the same era who preached violence.

00:07:42.540 Martin Luther King preached the nonviolence of Gandhi.

00:07:48.060 That's why he was so incredibly successful.

00:07:51.240 Now, in 1968, of course, Dr. King was assassinated.

00:07:59.420 I have serious reservations about whether he was, in fact, assassinated by James Earl Ray,

00:08:06.720 the man who was convicted of his assassination.

00:08:10.740 Ray, of course, later recanted his confession, insisting it had been coerced from him.

00:08:17.100 And it's important to know that the King family sued the FBI, the Secret Service, the U.S. government,

00:08:27.300 and the Memphis police in a civil suit over what they said was the wrongful death,

00:08:33.780 in this case the murder, of Dr. Martin Luther King.

00:08:37.000 And they won that lawsuit, which means a federal civil court essentially certified that King was murdered on the basis of a conspiracy

00:08:48.520 by elements of the federal government rather than murdered by James Earl Ray in Memphis, Tennessee.

00:08:57.540 The death of King caused a conundrum for Richard Nixon,

00:09:04.040 who was then on his way to the greatest comeback in political history.

00:09:10.220 Some of Nixon's advisors said that Nixon should not attend the funeral,

00:09:17.640 and more importantly, the processional march from the church to the cemetery for Dr. King in Atlanta, Georgia.

00:09:28.740 But Nixon made a command decision.

00:09:32.740 He flew privately to meet Coretta King and did so without any public announcement going to the King home the day before the funeral.

00:09:43.840 It is there that Richard Nixon privately gave Coretta King a check from Richard and Pat Nixon,

00:09:54.320 which covered the cost of the college educations of the remaining King children.

00:10:01.480 This is a gesture that was not known to history or anyone, of course,

00:10:07.440 until many years after both Richard Nixon and Dr. King were dead.

00:10:13.840 But then came the actual day of the funeral and the procession.

00:10:20.060 Nixon made a decision that he would attend the church service,

00:10:24.360 but that he would not march in the entourage behind the caisson,

00:10:32.100 that's the horse-drawn carriage that was bringing Dr. King's body to the cemetery.

00:10:38.160 Of course, all of his rivals, Senator Eugene McCarthy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy,

00:10:44.560 Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Governor Nelson Rockefeller,

00:10:49.900 all of those who were running for president in 1968 were in that procession.

00:10:56.500 And Nixon had originally planned, according to what he told me,

00:11:00.660 to leave the church from a side door where he was to be taken to the Atlanta airport

00:11:07.200 and returned to New York City.

00:11:10.320 At the end of the succession, however,

00:11:12.700 Wilt Chamberlain, a very formidable figure,

00:11:16.300 standing, sitting next to Nixon at the funeral,

00:11:19.440 just by odd, says, odd happenstance,

00:11:22.640 looked down at him and said,

00:11:23.740 Are you ready to march, Mr. Nixon?

00:11:27.540 Whereupon Nixon, who was not planning to march,

00:11:30.160 decided it was probably a better idea in the face of a very large Wilt Chamberlain

00:11:35.100 to march to the airport.

00:11:37.560 Today, I posted a picture on social media of Wilt Chamberlain

00:11:41.520 and former Vice President Richard Nixon

00:11:44.260 marching to the cemetery.

00:11:48.400 After about three blocks with Nixon's advance men

00:11:53.500 kind of trailing the march in a limousine,

00:12:02.440 roughly one block off the march,

00:12:04.460 not understanding this change in plans,

00:12:08.520 Nixon finally said to Wilt Chamberlain,

00:12:10.680 You know, Wilt, I'm not going to be able to continue.

00:12:14.120 I have a plane waiting for me to take me back to New York.

00:12:18.480 Whereupon Wilt Chamberlain said to Nixon,

00:12:21.280 Mr. Nixon, would you mind if I hitch a ride?

00:12:25.220 So Nixon and Wilt Chamberlain departed the entourage,

00:12:30.260 headed to the cemetery, headed for the airport.

00:12:33.920 By the time they landed in New York City,

00:12:36.900 Wilt Chamberlain had decided that he would actively support

00:12:40.380 Richard Nixon's campaign for president in 1968.

00:12:43.980 He became a major surrogate for Nixon's election.

00:12:49.760 This was an interesting view of the fact that Jackie Robinson,

00:12:54.680 the first African-American big league,

00:12:58.180 national league baseball player,

00:12:59.860 had supported Nixon for president in 1960 over John F. Kennedy.

00:13:05.080 People don't realize this,

00:13:06.280 but despite the fumbling of the question of Dr. King's arrest,

00:13:14.940 the American electorate in 1960 awarded Richard Nixon

00:13:21.320 almost one-third of the African-American vote

00:13:24.480 running against John F. Kennedy,

00:13:26.880 which was up until the most recent election

00:13:29.820 in which Donald Trump made major,

00:13:32.200 major inroads among African-Americans

00:13:34.460 was a high watermark for the Republican Party.

00:13:37.980 The Republican Party percentage of,

00:13:40.100 Republican Party nominee for president,

00:13:42.940 percentages of the vote among African-Americans

00:13:46.680 went steadily downhill after 1960.

00:13:51.840 Dr. Martin Luther King,

00:13:53.360 born on January 5th, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia,

00:13:56.740 was of a devout and disciplined Baptist family,

00:14:02.400 prized faith, education, and public service.

00:14:04.960 His father, Dr. Martin Luther King Sr.,

00:14:07.560 known as Daddy King,

00:14:09.960 was a teacher and church musician

00:14:11.840 who helped shape her son's early moral seriousness

00:14:14.460 and intellectual ambition.

00:14:16.840 King demonstrated exceptional gifts as a speaker,

00:14:19.840 a student, and a man drawn to a purpose

00:14:22.280 far larger than himself.

00:14:24.380 Despite any of his personal failings,

00:14:26.780 because we are all, of course, human,

00:14:30.020 his fatal mistake in terms of his own longevity,

00:14:34.420 I believe, was his public opposition

00:14:37.400 to the war in Vietnam.

00:14:40.480 Once King became a vocal opponent to the war,

00:14:45.660 he became a victim,

00:14:47.700 a victim of Lyndon Baines Johnson,

00:14:50.160 a victim of J. Edgar Hoover.

00:14:52.380 Just as I believe that John F. Kennedy

00:14:55.560 was assassinated in a conspiracy

00:14:58.740 that involves the CIA,

00:15:01.780 a big Texas oil, and the mob,

00:15:04.220 but Richard, pardon me,

00:15:05.700 Lyndon Johnson was at the helm of that.

00:15:08.940 Just as I believe Nixon was removed

00:15:10.860 in a silent crew we today call Watergate,

00:15:14.080 which was a setup,

00:15:15.420 I believe that Dr. Martin Luther King

00:15:17.920 was also murdered

00:15:19.500 as a result of a government conspiracy

00:15:22.600 as confirmed by a federal civil court.

00:15:27.120 Dr. Martin Luther King,

00:15:29.100 rest in peace.

00:15:30.640 This is the Stone Zone

00:15:32.560 with Roger Stone.

00:15:34.440 He likes politics,

00:15:35.600 and he's a professional

00:15:36.560 at the highest level.

00:15:39.160 Roger Stone.

00:15:40.260 Where's Roger?

00:15:40.900 This is the Stone Zone.

00:16:03.060 Now, get him a zone.

00:16:05.000 It's the Stone Zone.

00:16:06.540 A man who's gone through hell,

00:16:09.000 but he's kept going,

00:16:10.940 and he's smart,

00:16:11.880 and he's strong,

00:16:12.840 and people love him.

00:16:14.080 Not everybody,

00:16:14.920 but people love him

00:16:15.760 and respect him.

00:16:16.520 Roger Stone.

00:16:17.560 Where's Roger Stone?

00:16:18.820 Here's Roger Stone.

00:16:20.420 And you're back in the Stone Zone.

00:16:25.480 Would-be Venezuelan opposition leader

00:16:28.260 Marina Machado's White House Oval Office

00:16:34.080 meeting with President Donald Trump

00:16:35.720 does not seem to have been

00:16:37.200 a diplomatic triumph.

00:16:39.940 More and more information

00:16:41.080 has now come forward

00:16:42.580 that indicates that Machado's

00:16:44.960 actual background is as a Chavista.

00:16:48.320 She favored the disarmament

00:16:50.380 of the Venezuelan people.

00:16:52.300 She attended a number

00:16:53.940 of international socialist conclaves,

00:16:57.700 and there's a serious question

00:16:59.800 whether this is what we call

00:17:01.120 controlled opposition.

00:17:04.240 President, she did,

00:17:06.060 as a gesture,

00:17:07.760 attempt to give her Nobel Peace Prize

00:17:10.500 to President Donald Trump.

00:17:13.380 That caused the diplomats,

00:17:15.780 let's call them bureaucrats, 0.75

00:17:17.540 in Norway.

00:17:18.380 Can anybody think of anything

00:17:20.980 more efficient or effective

00:17:22.700 than a Norwegian bureaucrat?

00:17:25.260 They put out a statement

00:17:26.820 saying that the award

00:17:28.360 was not transferable.

00:17:31.300 President Trump sent them

00:17:32.400 a blistering letter

00:17:33.600 on Monday morning,

00:17:35.200 clear signal that the era

00:17:36.980 of American deference

00:17:38.260 to European elites is over.

00:17:40.820 As news broke early

00:17:42.540 of Trump's message

00:17:43.520 to the Norwegian

00:17:44.700 Prime Minister,

00:17:46.440 Jonas Gar Storr,

00:17:48.660 the usual media class

00:17:49.740 rushed to cast doubts

00:17:51.340 on the authenticity

00:17:52.740 of Trump's letter,

00:17:53.980 largely because it didn't sound

00:17:55.280 like the cautious,

00:17:57.280 submissive,

00:17:58.420 butt-kissing tone 0.52

00:18:00.160 that they've grown accustomed

00:18:01.800 to hearing

00:18:02.520 from American presidents

00:18:03.880 before Donald Trump

00:18:04.960 became president.

00:18:05.800 That skepticism evaporated,

00:18:08.480 once become clear

00:18:09.600 that the blistering letter

00:18:11.260 that Trump sent

00:18:12.820 to the Norwegian president

00:18:15.280 had been circulated

00:18:16.780 by the National Security Council staff

00:18:20.280 to European ambassadors,

00:18:22.400 underscoring that this was

00:18:23.720 very real

00:18:24.840 and very intentional.

00:18:27.420 In the letter,

00:18:28.020 Trump unapologetically

00:18:28.960 called out Norway

00:18:29.960 and the broader European establishment 0.98

00:18:31.460 for their hypocrisy. 0.97

00:18:32.500 If I were in Denmark, 0.97

00:18:34.280 I'd be demanding a vote today

00:18:36.680 about whether I want

00:18:38.160 to be independent

00:18:38.900 or whether perhaps

00:18:40.240 I'd even like to join

00:18:41.520 the United States.

00:18:43.480 This is The Stone Zone

00:18:44.520 and we'll be right back.

00:18:55.600 This is The Stone Zone

00:18:57.680 with Roger Stone.

00:18:59.400 Roger Stone,

00:19:00.320 who's a very, very,

00:19:01.220 one of the smartest

00:19:01.860 political minds.

00:19:03.360 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:19:04.580 People forget he's actually

00:19:05.580 a brilliant, brilliant

00:19:06.620 political analyst.

00:19:07.640 Now, get him a zone.

00:19:09.460 It's The Stone Zone.

00:19:11.460 Here's Roger Stone.

00:19:15.200 Welcome back

00:19:16.300 into The Stone Zone.

00:19:17.780 Few things I have done

00:19:18.900 in my political career

00:19:20.300 have gotten the response

00:19:21.680 that I got late last week

00:19:23.900 when I laid out

00:19:24.760 the reasons why

00:19:25.580 former Congressman Trey Gowdy

00:19:28.040 is the last person

00:19:29.260 in the world

00:19:30.060 who should be

00:19:31.300 Attorney General

00:19:32.340 of the United States.

00:19:33.780 Some have proposed,

00:19:35.580 I think this is rumor-based,

00:19:37.400 that he may be being considered

00:19:39.580 as a potential replacement

00:19:41.240 for Pam Bondi,

00:19:43.400 the current Attorney General.

00:19:45.060 First of all,

00:19:45.520 I can find no evidence

00:19:47.180 that Pam Bondi

00:19:48.020 is leaving that position.

00:19:49.660 In fact,

00:19:50.080 I hear the exact opposite.

00:19:51.600 and also Pam Bondi

00:19:52.740 was confirmed

00:19:54.040 by the U.S. Senate.

00:19:55.640 Very questionable today

00:19:57.500 given the dynamics

00:19:59.220 of our politics.

00:20:00.720 Whether any Trump appointee,

00:20:02.580 given the recalcitrance

00:20:04.100 of Democrats in the Senate,

00:20:06.020 can be approved

00:20:06.760 for any position.

00:20:08.440 It is a tradition,

00:20:10.220 as old as America itself,

00:20:12.580 that the two U.S. senators

00:20:14.800 from any given state,

00:20:17.400 whether they are Democrats

00:20:18.520 or Republicans,

00:20:20.080 approve the President

00:20:22.400 of the United States

00:20:23.140 nominee for U.S. attorney.

00:20:25.400 That is the substantial

00:20:26.940 and most important

00:20:28.740 federal prosecutor

00:20:30.300 or prosecutors,

00:20:31.860 depending on the side

00:20:32.760 of the state.

00:20:33.600 Democrats just simply

00:20:34.600 refuse to vote

00:20:36.480 for any of Trump's nominees.

00:20:39.320 They don't need

00:20:39.740 to give a reason.

00:20:40.920 It's called

00:20:41.440 the blue slip.

00:20:43.260 It's not even a law.

00:20:44.400 It's not a regulation.

00:20:45.240 It is a tradition

00:20:47.020 under which we fill

00:20:49.480 the position

00:20:50.100 of federal prosecutors

00:20:51.640 for each federal jurisdiction

00:20:53.700 across the country.

00:20:55.280 So, for example,

00:20:56.560 the two U.S. senators

00:20:59.160 from New York,

00:21:01.320 Chuck Schumer 0.70

00:21:02.160 and that sock puppet 0.95

00:21:04.100 who serves 0.57

00:21:04.780 as the other U.S. senator,

00:21:06.960 just won't for anybody

00:21:08.380 put forward by Trump.

00:21:10.260 They simply refuse.

00:21:12.360 I believe under

00:21:14.260 the Federal Vacancies Act,

00:21:17.600 the President

00:21:18.000 has the right

00:21:18.980 then to fill

00:21:19.720 the job

00:21:20.620 temporarily

00:21:21.800 with an interim

00:21:23.060 U.S. attorney

00:21:23.620 with 120 days,

00:21:24.900 for 120 days.

00:21:26.460 If that person

00:21:27.620 resigned

00:21:28.200 at the end

00:21:29.200 of 119 days,

00:21:30.620 the President

00:21:30.980 could then appoint

00:21:31.640 someone else

00:21:32.300 for 120 days.

00:21:34.360 And if that person

00:21:35.360 resigned

00:21:36.040 at 119 days,

00:21:37.640 the President

00:21:38.120 could then

00:21:40.200 reappoint

00:21:40.920 another person

00:21:42.080 for 120 days,

00:21:44.220 none of them

00:21:44.600 would require

00:21:45.160 Senate approval.

00:21:46.980 Each one of them

00:21:47.580 could take

00:21:47.940 the ongoing cases

00:21:49.120 on which they are working

00:21:50.120 and pass the baton

00:21:51.460 to the next prosecutor.

00:21:53.140 Were I,

00:21:53.940 the President

00:21:54.320 of the United States,

00:21:55.780 I would order

00:21:56.400 the acting U.S. attorney

00:21:57.780 in the Southern District

00:21:58.840 of New York

00:21:59.380 to open his investigation

00:22:00.840 into Chuck Schumer

00:22:01.920 because you can

00:22:03.280 take Chuck Schumer's

00:22:04.600 contributions

00:22:05.320 and his votes

00:22:06.280 and put them

00:22:06.760 side by side

00:22:07.720 and you will find

00:22:08.480 a very troubling pattern.

00:22:10.920 But instead,

00:22:13.400 half of the

00:22:14.500 federal prosecutors'

00:22:15.620 positions

00:22:16.000 in the country

00:22:16.960 remain vacant.

00:22:19.820 Anyway,

00:22:20.600 the idea of

00:22:21.400 Trey Gowdy

00:22:22.420 being the

00:22:24.040 Attorney General

00:22:25.500 is some

00:22:26.020 establishment-backed

00:22:27.040 scheme

00:22:27.440 that must be

00:22:28.680 soundly rejected.

00:22:29.780 Gowdy,

00:22:30.300 you'll remember,

00:22:31.440 gained national

00:22:32.100 promise when he

00:22:32.820 led the investigation

00:22:33.860 into the

00:22:35.240 Benghazi disaster.

00:22:36.980 That's when

00:22:37.480 our ambassador

00:22:38.580 to Libya,

00:22:39.360 Christopher Stevens,

00:22:40.200 and three

00:22:41.060 other Americans

00:22:41.940 were brutally

00:22:43.080 and publicly

00:22:43.860 murdered in a

00:22:44.920 terrorist attack

00:22:45.980 on the U.S.

00:22:46.680 consulate

00:22:47.160 following the

00:22:48.460 ouster of

00:22:49.620 Muammar Gaddafi.

00:22:51.860 Gowdy ranted

00:22:53.180 and raved

00:22:54.180 and he got

00:22:54.880 a lot of good

00:22:55.780 headlines from

00:22:56.440 Fox News,

00:22:57.440 but ultimately

00:22:58.560 he accomplished

00:22:59.700 nothing whatsoever.

00:23:01.100 First of all,

00:23:02.240 Hillary Clinton

00:23:03.040 insisted

00:23:03.780 falsely

00:23:05.140 that the death

00:23:06.180 of these Americans

00:23:07.240 was based

00:23:08.860 on the

00:23:10.100 release

00:23:11.540 of some

00:23:12.380 video

00:23:13.640 in Libya

00:23:14.620 that was

00:23:15.480 offensive

00:23:16.000 to Muslims. 0.98

00:23:17.720 This is a state

00:23:18.600 in which less

00:23:19.260 than 5%

00:23:20.100 of the people

00:23:20.940 in Libya

00:23:21.660 were on

00:23:22.800 the internet,

00:23:23.660 so that was

00:23:24.660 a lie.

00:23:26.260 The terrorists

00:23:27.420 who attacked

00:23:28.060 our Benghazi

00:23:29.060 compound

00:23:30.500 had the floor

00:23:31.920 plan

00:23:32.420 and knew

00:23:33.120 where the

00:23:33.600 safe room

00:23:34.600 was,

00:23:35.680 proving that

00:23:36.240 this was

00:23:36.600 not some

00:23:37.260 spontaneous

00:23:38.280 uprising.

00:23:39.560 Hillary Clinton

00:23:40.140 knew everything

00:23:40.940 and she

00:23:41.380 should have

00:23:42.260 been prosecuted,

00:23:44.060 but Trey Gowdy's

00:23:45.580 800-page

00:23:46.380 final report

00:23:47.280 refused to

00:23:48.580 conclude

00:23:49.120 that this

00:23:50.140 whole thing

00:23:50.720 was caused

00:23:51.320 by Hillary

00:23:52.340 Clinton

00:23:52.780 and her

00:23:53.540 aide,

00:23:54.260 Cheryl Mills,

00:23:55.480 which is an

00:23:56.080 incomprehensible

00:23:57.040 outcome,

00:23:57.720 suggesting that

00:23:58.500 the entire

00:23:59.160 hearings in

00:24:00.220 which Trey Gowdy

00:24:01.340 ranted and

00:24:02.260 raved

00:24:02.760 was designed

00:24:03.860 just to

00:24:04.340 mollify

00:24:04.880 conservatives.

00:24:05.740 That report

00:24:06.180 confirmed what

00:24:07.140 was already

00:24:07.580 known.

00:24:07.980 The Obama 0.54

00:24:08.340 administration

00:24:08.920 failed to

00:24:09.920 anticipate the

00:24:10.660 attack and

00:24:11.180 then they

00:24:11.620 purposely

00:24:12.500 misled the

00:24:13.480 public by

00:24:14.220 blaming a

00:24:15.280 terrorist

00:24:15.660 assault on

00:24:16.780 a YouTube

00:24:17.320 video that

00:24:19.080 no one in

00:24:19.860 Iraq saw. 0.81

00:24:21.400 But Trey

00:24:21.820 Gowdy,

00:24:22.620 who is being

00:24:23.260 pushed for

00:24:23.880 the Attorney

00:24:24.400 General's

00:24:24.900 office by 0.99

00:24:25.500 the repugnant 1.00

00:24:26.840 Senator 0.99

00:24:27.600 Lindsey Graham,

00:24:29.500 repeatedly

00:24:29.980 refused to

00:24:31.660 draw clear

00:24:32.180 conclusions or

00:24:33.520 say that

00:24:34.060 Hillary Clinton

00:24:34.760 was responsible.

00:24:37.040 When committee

00:24:37.480 member Jim

00:24:38.120 Jordan forcefully

00:24:39.340 stated that the

00:24:40.020 administration told

00:24:41.240 one story

00:24:41.860 privately and

00:24:42.600 another one

00:24:43.040 publicly,

00:24:44.080 Gowdy bristled

00:24:45.180 in a move

00:24:46.220 that defined

00:24:46.800 his legacy 0.97

00:24:47.380 as a coward 0.83

00:24:48.580 rather than 0.98

00:24:49.420 a patriot,

00:24:50.000 declined to

00:24:50.500 say whether

00:24:51.020 Clinton lied

00:24:52.080 and was

00:24:52.420 deflecting

00:24:52.940 responsibility

00:24:53.760 back onto

00:24:54.920 the public.

00:24:56.200 The now

00:24:56.980 infamous 11-hour

00:24:58.460 Clinton hearing

00:24:59.300 became political

00:25:00.060 theater rather

00:25:01.300 than the

00:25:02.140 prosecutorial

00:25:02.960 reckoning that

00:25:03.640 it should

00:25:04.000 have been.

00:25:04.900 Gowdy presided

00:25:05.780 over an

00:25:06.240 investigation that

00:25:07.780 escaped serious

00:25:09.100 consequences for

00:25:10.380 Hillary Clinton.

00:25:12.240 It was an

00:25:13.320 utter and

00:25:13.980 unmitigated

00:25:14.800 failure on the

00:25:15.760 part of Trey

00:25:16.480 Gowdy.

00:25:16.920 This is, of

00:25:17.440 course, the

00:25:17.880 same Trey

00:25:19.120 Gowdy who,

00:25:20.440 in the Russian

00:25:20.920 collusion hoax,

00:25:22.180 insisted that

00:25:23.020 John Brennan,

00:25:24.740 a man who,

00:25:25.800 based on the

00:25:26.540 declassified

00:25:27.600 documents released

00:25:29.060 by the

00:25:30.000 Director of

00:25:30.440 National Intelligence,

00:25:31.760 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:25:32.480 that proved

00:25:32.960 beyond any

00:25:34.320 dispute or

00:25:35.300 doubt that

00:25:36.400 there was a

00:25:37.620 coup d'etat,

00:25:38.840 that there was

00:25:39.480 an illegal

00:25:40.660 conspiracy to

00:25:42.960 invent the

00:25:43.760 Russian collusion

00:25:44.820 as a narrative

00:25:45.780 to blame

00:25:47.320 Russian

00:25:48.520 interference

00:25:49.500 assisting Donald

00:25:51.400 Trump's campaign

00:25:52.320 for president

00:25:53.080 and that that

00:25:55.020 was a fraud.

00:25:55.900 But Trey

00:25:56.220 Gowdy says

00:25:56.980 that John

00:25:57.920 Brennan,

00:25:58.500 one of the 0.97

00:25:58.780 most despicable

00:25:59.500 characters in

00:26:00.240 American history,

00:26:01.140 a Muslim

00:26:01.980 convert,

00:26:03.040 a man who

00:26:03.560 got caught

00:26:04.080 red-handed

00:26:04.900 spying on the

00:26:06.720 U.S.

00:26:07.140 Senate when

00:26:07.560 they were

00:26:07.840 investigating his

00:26:09.520 use of illegal

00:26:10.500 torture,

00:26:10.940 the man who

00:26:11.780 signed the

00:26:12.760 visas for a

00:26:14.080 majority of

00:26:14.820 the hijackers

00:26:15.660 who attacked

00:26:16.360 America on

00:26:17.600 9-11 when he

00:26:19.420 was the station

00:26:20.440 chief of the

00:26:21.200 CIA in

00:26:22.380 Riyadh,

00:26:23.500 a man who,

00:26:25.160 according to my

00:26:25.740 good friend Ian

00:26:26.580 Trotter in

00:26:27.620 his new

00:26:28.760 book,

00:26:29.980 made a

00:26:30.400 fortune out

00:26:31.900 of the

00:26:32.440 Russian

00:26:32.820 collusion

00:26:33.700 hoax.

00:26:34.600 It wasn't

00:26:34.980 just a

00:26:36.040 stunning act

00:26:36.920 of treason,

00:26:38.300 but it was

00:26:40.280 even worse,

00:26:41.920 one in which

00:26:42.520 he lined his

00:26:43.280 pockets.

00:26:43.880 But Trey

00:26:44.500 Gowdy says

00:26:45.540 that John

00:26:47.540 Brennan

00:26:47.840 shouldn't be

00:26:48.320 prosecuted.

00:26:49.480 Trey Gowdy

00:26:50.180 says that

00:26:50.960 the embarrassment

00:26:52.320 should be

00:26:53.560 enough for

00:26:54.660 Trey Gowdy.

00:26:56.420 This is the

00:26:57.160 last guy in

00:26:58.320 the world who

00:26:59.240 should be

00:26:59.920 U.S.

00:27:00.540 Attorney General.

00:27:01.900 I mean,

00:27:02.320 he is,

00:27:02.680 he is,

00:27:03.280 he's very,

00:27:04.300 very,

00:27:04.980 very strange.

00:27:06.540 People like

00:27:07.220 to make

00:27:07.600 shape,

00:27:08.260 find the

00:27:08.760 shape of

00:27:09.140 my head,

00:27:09.880 take a

00:27:10.180 look at

00:27:10.420 his head

00:27:10.860 sometime.

00:27:11.580 Geez.

00:27:12.480 Anyway,

00:27:13.680 thanks for

00:27:14.460 joining us

00:27:14.880 today.

00:27:15.320 If you're

00:27:16.280 you're

00:27:22.120 hot politics

00:27:23.200 in the

00:27:23.560 inside,

00:27:24.120 skinny,

00:27:24.360 and what's

00:27:24.860 really

00:27:25.420 happening

00:27:25.920 in Washington

00:27:26.700 and the

00:27:30.900 has now

00:27:31.520 opened a

00:27:32.100 civil rights

00:27:32.600 investigation

00:27:33.300 after a

00:27:34.520 Christian church

00:27:35.180 in St.

00:27:35.660 Paul was

00:27:36.140 forcibly

00:27:37.020 disrupted by

00:27:37.860 left-wing

00:27:38.380 thugs in 0.94

00:27:39.040 a violation

00:27:39.740 of religious

00:27:40.840 freedom to

00:27:41.460 all of those

00:27:42.020 who are

00:27:42.220 hoping to

00:27:42.680 just peacefully

00:27:43.740 attend

00:27:44.160 services.

00:27:45.240 The Department

00:27:45.620 of Justice

00:27:46.160 officials say

00:27:46.780 the probe

00:27:47.220 will examine

00:27:47.800 potential

00:27:48.680 violations

00:27:49.320 of the

00:27:49.980 Federal

00:27:50.480 Freedom of

00:27:51.500 Access to

00:27:52.320 Clinic

00:27:52.780 Entrances

00:27:53.260 Act,

00:27:53.620 which also

00:27:54.340 protects

00:27:54.920 Americans' 0.58

00:27:55.900 rights to

00:27:56.580 worship at

00:27:57.180 the church

00:27:57.660 or synagogue

00:27:58.640 or mosque

00:27:59.880 of their

00:28:00.280 choice

00:28:00.740 without force,

00:28:02.260 threats,

00:28:02.740 or obstruction.

00:28:03.560 Assistant

00:28:03.880 Attorney General

00:28:05.100 Harmeet Dillon,

00:28:06.020 good friend of

00:28:06.580 mine,

00:28:07.200 confirmed the

00:28:07.800 investigation and

00:28:08.580 stated that

00:28:09.240 federal civil

00:28:09.880 rights officers

00:28:10.660 are looking at

00:28:11.740 those who

00:28:12.200 desecrated a

00:28:13.080 house of

00:28:13.520 worship and

00:28:14.640 interfered in

00:28:15.400 this case with

00:28:16.020 Christian

00:28:16.380 worshipers.

00:28:17.180 The incident

00:28:17.680 occurred Sunday

00:28:18.940 at City's

00:28:19.780 Church,

00:28:20.160 a Southern

00:28:20.580 Baptist

00:28:20.960 congregation,

00:28:22.760 when anti-ICE

00:28:23.960 protesters stormed

00:28:25.100 into the

00:28:25.540 sanctuary of

00:28:26.420 the church,

00:28:27.460 chanting

00:28:27.740 slogans and

00:28:29.640 halting the

00:28:31.360 service.

00:28:32.280 The activists

00:28:32.860 accused one of

00:28:34.100 the church's

00:28:34.640 pastors of

00:28:35.280 having ties to

00:28:36.160 Immigration and

00:28:37.280 Customs

00:28:37.780 Enforcement,

00:28:39.060 although it

00:28:39.800 remains unclear

00:28:40.500 as to why

00:28:41.120 that would be

00:28:41.680 a problem.

00:28:42.240 and it's

00:28:43.500 actually unclear

00:28:44.280 today why

00:28:44.940 this particular

00:28:45.680 church was

00:28:46.920 targeted.

00:28:47.500 Video from

00:28:47.960 inside the

00:28:48.980 church shows

00:28:49.620 shaking

00:28:49.980 congregants as 0.59

00:28:50.920 worship was

00:28:51.880 ultimately shut

00:28:52.660 down.

00:28:53.020 This disruption

00:28:53.640 was reportedly

00:28:55.040 co-organized by

00:28:56.500 Black Lives Matter

00:28:57.400 activist

00:28:58.060 Lakima Levy

00:28:59.900 Armstrong, a

00:29:00.880 former president

00:29:01.620 of the

00:29:02.580 Minneapolis

00:29:03.200 NAACP,

00:29:05.160 but it is

00:29:05.760 former CNN

00:29:06.860 host Don

00:29:08.060 Lemon,

00:29:08.840 that sour

00:29:09.560 fruit,

00:29:10.480 who has

00:29:11.240 caught most

00:29:12.080 the attention

00:29:12.640 because he

00:29:13.620 was present

00:29:14.260 live streaming

00:29:15.140 the event

00:29:15.680 and openly

00:29:16.940 defending the

00:29:17.760 disruption.

00:29:18.440 Now, if he

00:29:19.220 just happened

00:29:19.760 to be at the

00:29:20.400 church live

00:29:20.980 streaming, he

00:29:21.580 clearly knew

00:29:22.260 in advance

00:29:23.020 that this

00:29:23.720 illegal action

00:29:24.600 was taking

00:29:25.740 place.

00:29:26.380 Lemon argued

00:29:27.000 that protests

00:29:28.160 are meant to

00:29:28.740 make people

00:29:29.200 uncomfortable.

00:29:30.220 He justified 0.93

00:29:31.260 the people

00:29:31.960 invading a

00:29:33.380 church service

00:29:34.640 and disrupting

00:29:36.300 people's worship

00:29:37.940 on those

00:29:38.640 grounds.

00:29:40.080 Protesters

00:29:40.620 were heard

00:29:41.000 chanting the

00:29:41.680 name of

00:29:42.120 Renee Goode.

00:29:43.300 She's the 0.99

00:29:43.840 Antifa terrorist

00:29:45.440 martyr who

00:29:46.060 was shot dead

00:29:47.100 as she tried

00:29:47.780 to run

00:29:48.480 down and 1.00

00:29:49.040 kill an 1.00

00:29:49.720 ICE agent. 1.00

00:29:51.240 Democrats

00:29:51.880 aligned

00:29:52.420 fundraising

00:29:52.920 groups have

00:29:53.620 sought to

00:29:54.400 capitalize on

00:29:55.180 this tragedy,

00:29:55.940 raising money

00:29:56.500 to target

00:29:57.060 ICE agents

00:29:57.820 with threatening

00:29:58.760 billboards,

00:29:59.580 doxing attempts,

00:30:00.320 and legal

00:30:00.640 action.

00:30:01.640 The Department

00:30:02.160 of Justice

00:30:02.640 investigation must

00:30:04.060 in this case

00:30:04.700 lead to serious

00:30:05.420 actions.

00:30:05.860 It's time

00:30:06.700 to charge

00:30:07.380 and submit

00:30:08.920 Don Lemon

00:30:11.020 to a fair

00:30:11.700 trial,

00:30:12.740 but if

00:30:13.200 convicted,

00:30:13.740 he should

00:30:14.380 pay the

00:30:14.900 penalty.

00:30:15.420 There are

00:30:16.080 not two

00:30:16.500 sets of

00:30:16.980 rules in

00:30:17.400 America,

00:30:18.000 a set of

00:30:18.440 rules for

00:30:19.040 Roger Stone,

00:30:20.420 General Flynn,

00:30:21.660 Donald Trump,

00:30:22.620 and a different

00:30:23.040 set of rules

00:30:23.840 for failed

00:30:26.960 TV hosts.

00:30:28.480 This guy

00:30:29.160 even got

00:30:29.560 canned

00:30:29.920 by CNN.

00:30:32.280 So,

00:30:33.080 you recognize

00:30:34.880 what's happening

00:30:35.440 here.

00:30:35.800 They are

00:30:36.100 inviting

00:30:36.580 President

00:30:37.180 Donald

00:30:37.600 Trump's

00:30:38.080 use of

00:30:39.120 the

00:30:39.300 Insurrection

00:30:39.860 Act of

00:30:40.480 1807.

00:30:42.360 Things are

00:30:43.080 spinning out

00:30:43.720 of control

00:30:44.320 in Minnesota.

00:30:45.940 Mob

00:30:46.220 violence is

00:30:46.920 taking over

00:30:47.440 the streets.

00:30:48.660 I honestly

00:30:49.260 think,

00:30:50.480 and I'm

00:30:51.160 loathe to

00:30:51.980 mention any

00:30:53.380 error by

00:30:55.020 President

00:30:55.440 Donald Trump,

00:30:56.080 a man I

00:30:56.540 know and

00:30:56.900 love for

00:30:57.380 50 years,

00:30:58.700 a man who

00:30:59.220 saved my

00:30:59.720 life,

00:31:00.640 but because

00:31:01.900 of my

00:31:02.240 friendship

00:31:02.720 with him,

00:31:03.600 there was

00:31:04.200 an illicit

00:31:05.320 and illegal

00:31:05.920 attempt to

00:31:06.440 destroy me, 0.88

00:31:07.800 but I

00:31:08.540 think if

00:31:08.880 there was

00:31:09.420 one

00:31:09.960 miscalculation

00:31:10.840 in his

00:31:11.220 first term,

00:31:12.300 he should

00:31:12.700 have crushed

00:31:13.260 the BLM

00:31:14.740 Antifa

00:31:15.660 riots in

00:31:17.060 the fourth

00:31:17.440 year of his

00:31:17.880 presidency.

00:31:19.040 And now,

00:31:19.820 as lawlessness

00:31:20.720 takes over

00:31:21.360 the streets

00:31:21.800 of places

00:31:22.240 like Minnesota

00:31:23.960 and Chicago,

00:31:26.120 I think he

00:31:27.260 has to

00:31:27.640 seriously

00:31:28.140 think about

00:31:29.260 the use

00:31:30.500 of the

00:31:31.360 Insurrection

00:31:34.280 Act of

00:31:34.700 1807,

00:31:35.500 which of

00:31:35.800 course gives

00:31:36.600 him the

00:31:36.940 legal authority

00:31:37.660 to use

00:31:38.180 American troops

00:31:38.960 on U.S.

00:31:39.620 soil for

00:31:40.400 purposes of

00:31:41.100 law enforcement.

00:31:42.440 It is the

00:31:44.000 one exception

00:31:45.280 to the

00:31:46.440 federal law

00:31:48.780 that would

00:31:49.260 otherwise

00:31:49.880 prevent that.

00:31:50.900 this has

00:31:52.360 now been

00:31:54.760 done several

00:31:55.280 times in

00:31:55.740 American history.

00:31:56.620 John F.

00:31:57.040 Kennedy and

00:31:58.040 Lyndon Johnson

00:31:58.720 both invoked

00:32:00.240 the Insurrection

00:32:00.840 Act to

00:32:01.420 protect civil

00:32:02.280 rights

00:32:02.720 demonstrations

00:32:03.440 in the

00:32:03.940 1960s.

00:32:05.180 George H.W.

00:32:06.620 Bush used

00:32:07.220 it after the

00:32:08.040 Rodney King

00:32:09.540 riots.

00:32:11.260 Donald Trump

00:32:11.780 is not a man

00:32:12.480 to push.

00:32:13.000 if they

00:32:14.560 fool around,

00:32:16.480 they're going

00:32:17.100 to find

00:32:17.980 out.

00:32:19.340 And this

00:32:20.520 rabble in

00:32:22.480 the streets,

00:32:23.840 yesterday I

00:32:25.180 played an

00:32:26.100 audio of a

00:32:26.920 woman calling

00:32:27.740 to burn 0.97

00:32:28.640 Minnesota down. 0.87

00:32:30.400 That is in

00:32:31.220 itself a crime.

00:32:32.500 Arrest that

00:32:33.300 person.

00:32:34.560 One of

00:32:35.140 Stone's most

00:32:36.020 important rules,

00:32:38.120 use power

00:32:39.160 or lose

00:32:40.500 power.

00:32:41.720 President

00:32:42.160 Donald Trump

00:32:42.740 is a different

00:32:43.320 president in

00:32:44.080 his second

00:32:44.660 presidency and

00:32:46.580 he is quite

00:32:47.380 serious.

00:32:48.620 I think pushing

00:32:49.360 him is an 0.55

00:32:50.460 enormous mistake.

00:32:52.060 He will bring

00:32:52.780 order back to

00:32:53.700 the streets of

00:32:54.600 the cities of

00:32:55.580 Minnesota and

00:32:57.100 if their violent

00:32:57.740 demonstrations want

00:32:58.720 to spill over

00:32:59.460 into Michigan

00:33:00.680 or Oregon

00:33:02.020 or Washington

00:33:03.200 State,

00:33:04.080 they're going

00:33:04.600 to find a

00:33:05.280 resolute Donald

00:33:06.580 Trump who

00:33:07.520 understands that

00:33:08.900 the very first

00:33:09.760 responsibility of

00:33:11.900 the president of

00:33:12.800 the United States

00:33:13.740 is to preserve

00:33:15.360 order and

00:33:16.760 protect the

00:33:17.680 safety of

00:33:18.880 U.S.

00:33:19.700 citizens.

00:33:20.700 I'm Roger Stone.

00:33:21.600 You're listening

00:33:22.000 to The Stone

00:33:22.560 Zone.

00:33:23.140 Don't go away

00:33:24.180 because we'll

00:33:24.940 be right back.

00:33:27.120 This is The

00:33:28.000 Stone Zone

00:33:28.880 with Roger Stone.

00:33:30.820 He likes

00:33:31.280 politics and

00:33:32.080 he's a

00:33:32.360 professional at

00:33:33.700 the highest

00:33:34.300 level.

00:33:35.540 Roger Stone.

00:33:36.700 Where's Roger?

00:33:38.900 This is The Stone

00:33:59.720 Zone.

00:34:00.560 Now, get him a

00:34:01.860 zone.

00:34:02.500 It's The Stone

00:34:03.540 Zone.

00:34:04.040 A man who's 0.89

00:34:05.140 gone through

00:34:05.720 hell, but

00:34:06.680 he's kept

00:34:07.760 going and

00:34:08.500 he's smart

00:34:09.200 and he's

00:34:09.680 strong and

00:34:10.400 people love

00:34:11.240 him.

00:34:11.580 Not everybody,

00:34:12.420 but people love

00:34:13.120 him and respect

00:34:13.740 him.

00:34:14.020 Roger Stone.

00:34:15.080 Where's Roger

00:34:15.680 Stone?

00:34:16.320 Here's Roger

00:34:17.300 Stone.

00:34:20.880 President Donald

00:34:21.860 Trump announces,

00:34:23.200 as we were just

00:34:24.440 saying, that he

00:34:25.380 has 1,500 active

00:34:27.100 duty U.S.

00:34:27.840 Army troops

00:34:28.400 now on standby

00:34:29.920 for probable

00:34:31.540 deployment in

00:34:32.480 Minnesota as

00:34:33.400 unrest continues

00:34:34.500 over federal

00:34:35.600 efforts to

00:34:36.220 enforce immigration

00:34:37.120 laws.

00:34:37.620 Of course,

00:34:38.060 Governor Tim

00:34:38.660 Waltz now

00:34:39.100 desperate to

00:34:40.360 cover up the

00:34:41.020 fact that

00:34:41.560 hundreds of

00:34:42.620 millions of

00:34:43.160 dollars were

00:34:44.360 paid out to

00:34:45.780 Somalian-based

00:34:48.040 daycare centers,

00:34:50.420 learning schools,

00:34:52.040 and through other

00:34:52.820 COVID programs.

00:34:54.340 Some of that

00:34:54.920 money actually

00:34:55.700 sent back to

00:34:57.540 Somalia to

00:34:58.480 fund al-Shabaab,

00:34:59.960 the ISIS

00:35:01.380 offshoot there.

00:35:03.340 This could end

00:35:04.920 up being the

00:35:05.640 single largest

00:35:06.900 financial fraud

00:35:08.700 scandal in U.S.

00:35:10.700 taxpayer history.

00:35:12.280 Yesterday, I

00:35:13.000 watched a great

00:35:13.660 video of a

00:35:14.980 citizen journalist

00:35:15.960 who visited

00:35:16.600 26 individual

00:35:18.980 so-called

00:35:20.160 child daycare

00:35:21.600 clinics, and he

00:35:22.920 visited them

00:35:23.660 morning, noon,

00:35:24.900 and night, and

00:35:26.680 he saw not a

00:35:28.020 single person,

00:35:29.360 never mind a

00:35:30.120 single child.

00:35:31.560 So, this is a

00:35:32.740 fraud, and it

00:35:34.460 is very clear

00:35:35.520 that Congresswoman

00:35:36.700 Ilhan Omar, who

00:35:39.040 lied on her

00:35:40.380 federal

00:35:41.060 naturalization

00:35:42.700 papers to get

00:35:43.500 into the

00:35:44.160 country, is

00:35:45.500 up to her

00:35:46.480 neck in this

00:35:47.380 scandal.

00:35:47.940 So, I ask a

00:35:48.680 simple question.

00:35:49.940 Why has she

00:35:51.100 not been

00:35:51.800 arrested and

00:35:53.620 deported?

00:35:54.680 She's in the

00:35:55.760 country illegally.

00:35:56.820 I believe that

00:35:58.320 there is some

00:35:59.440 kind of hearing

00:36:00.240 required, but

00:36:01.840 numerous journalists

00:36:03.040 have proved

00:36:03.480 beyond a doubt

00:36:04.320 that she said

00:36:05.640 that she married

00:36:06.940 her brother in

00:36:08.160 order to enter

00:36:08.920 the country.

00:36:10.160 There are not

00:36:11.040 special rules for

00:36:12.440 members of

00:36:13.080 Congress.

00:36:13.620 Members of

00:36:14.100 Congress are

00:36:14.940 not immune from

00:36:16.760 the United States

00:36:17.980 criminal codes.

00:36:20.540 Now, there are

00:36:21.380 certain rules about

00:36:22.460 what members of

00:36:23.640 Congress can say.

00:36:24.620 So, when Eric

00:36:25.860 Swallowswell or

00:36:27.520 Adam Schiff

00:36:28.600 defamed me on

00:36:31.620 the House or

00:36:32.260 Senate floor,

00:36:33.800 they are protected

00:36:35.060 by congressional

00:36:36.300 immunity.

00:36:37.380 I've challenged

00:36:38.020 them through the

00:36:38.620 years repeatedly to

00:36:39.680 waive that

00:36:40.780 immunity so that I

00:36:41.800 may sue them, but

00:36:43.080 they refuse to do

00:36:43.980 so.

00:36:44.320 You see, that way

00:36:44.860 they can lie with

00:36:46.260 impunity.

00:36:47.520 Yesterday, we

00:36:48.180 focused on the

00:36:48.840 fact that Eric

00:36:49.660 Swallowwell has

00:36:50.920 got himself a big

00:36:51.780 old problem.

00:36:52.520 He's running for

00:36:53.080 governor of

00:36:53.560 California, but

00:36:54.960 he's not eligible

00:36:56.040 to be governor

00:36:56.800 of California

00:36:57.500 because he lives

00:36:58.640 in Washington,

00:36:59.260 D.C.

00:36:59.820 He doesn't own a

00:37:00.820 home or a

00:37:01.620 residence in the

00:37:02.840 state of

00:37:03.140 California.

00:37:04.260 Now, it's clear

00:37:05.080 to me that Eric

00:37:05.840 Swallowwell, the

00:37:06.840 congressman from

00:37:07.920 California, is now

00:37:09.260 taking his fashion

00:37:10.280 tips from Steve

00:37:11.400 Bannon because he

00:37:12.660 doesn't look like he

00:37:13.640 has shaved or

00:37:14.820 bathed or washed

00:37:16.120 his hair or brushed

00:37:16.860 his teeth in months,

00:37:18.320 but he's still not

00:37:19.520 going to be governor

00:37:20.180 of California, and he

00:37:22.120 is apoplectic about

00:37:24.340 the fact that

00:37:25.080 investigative journalist

00:37:26.280 Joel Gilbert has

00:37:28.620 filed a formal

00:37:30.780 complaint with the

00:37:32.340 secretary of state

00:37:33.460 who, by law, is

00:37:35.440 required to enforce

00:37:36.640 the law which

00:37:37.600 says that one

00:37:38.340 must be a legal

00:37:39.600 resident of

00:37:40.380 California in

00:37:41.560 order to run for

00:37:42.760 governor of

00:37:43.600 California.

00:37:44.200 California, the

00:37:45.700 response by

00:37:46.820 Grizzly Eric

00:37:48.320 Swallowwell is to

00:37:49.400 attack Joel Gilbert

00:37:52.220 personally, and his

00:37:54.540 response was, I'll

00:37:55.340 see you in court.

00:37:56.220 This question won't

00:37:56.820 get decided in court.

00:37:58.300 It has to be decided

00:37:59.040 by the secretary of

00:38:00.600 state.

00:38:01.240 Just another example,

00:38:02.620 I guess, of those

00:38:04.540 on the left believing

00:38:05.520 that there is some

00:38:06.340 special set of rights

00:38:08.380 for them, that they

00:38:09.380 should not be held to

00:38:11.020 the same laws and

00:38:13.180 requirements as all

00:38:14.780 of the rest of us, as

00:38:16.360 this is the two-term

00:38:18.400 justice system

00:38:20.020 writ large.

00:38:21.500 I'm absolutely

00:38:22.560 convinced that if

00:38:24.420 the lawlessness in

00:38:25.420 Minnesota continues,

00:38:27.220 particularly if it

00:38:28.180 continues to try to

00:38:29.800 distract attention

00:38:30.960 from the ultra

00:38:32.600 hundred million

00:38:34.020 dollar scandal in

00:38:35.380 which our tax

00:38:36.640 dollars were stolen

00:38:37.720 by Somalians,

00:38:40.100 that Donald Trump

00:38:41.100 is going to invoke

00:38:43.460 the Insurrection

00:38:44.720 Act of 1807, which

00:38:46.800 allows the federal

00:38:47.660 government to deploy

00:38:48.600 tropes domestically in

00:38:49.940 response to rebellion

00:38:50.940 or other widespread

00:38:52.600 disorder.

00:38:55.140 They are really

00:38:56.260 messing with the

00:38:57.420 wrong guy, and this

00:38:58.460 is not the Trump

00:38:59.820 first term.

00:39:01.360 Meanwhile, President

00:39:02.080 Trump's announced that

00:39:02.960 he is going to sue

00:39:04.160 JPMorgan Chase sometime

00:39:06.280 in the next two weeks,

00:39:07.440 accusing the Wall

00:39:08.340 Street giant of

00:39:09.220 politically motivated

00:39:10.720 debanking him in the

00:39:12.720 aftermath of January

00:39:13.760 6, 2021, similar to

00:39:16.020 the financial

00:39:16.580 discrimination that

00:39:17.720 many Americans have

00:39:19.600 faced across the

00:39:20.480 country as a

00:39:21.180 globalist attempt to

00:39:22.320 impose their

00:39:23.580 technocratic police

00:39:24.820 state.

00:39:25.580 I'm Roger Stone.

00:39:26.420 Thank you for joining

00:39:27.080 us today on The Stone

00:39:28.120 Zone.

00:39:28.680 Until tomorrow, God

00:39:30.440 bless you and God

00:39:32.080 speed.

00:39:32.400 Every week, the

00:39:35.200 Payne family cuts

00:39:36.240 straight to the real

00:39:37.240 financial story.

00:39:38.520 The one question, Bob,

00:39:39.680 everyone's asking is,

00:39:41.460 are we in an

00:39:42.300 artificial intelligence

00:39:43.320 bubble?

00:39:44.160 You've been through

00:39:44.900 boom and busts.

00:39:46.140 What do you think?

00:39:46.960 No hype, no myths.

00:39:49.120 Just what actually

00:39:50.020 matters to your money.

00:39:51.540 It does feel very

00:39:52.680 similar to what we

00:39:53.820 experienced in the

00:39:54.600 90s.

00:39:55.020 Where are we, though?

00:39:55.700 Are we in 1995,

00:39:57.120 1997, 1999?

00:39:59.380 Listen to the Payne

00:40:00.320 Points of Wealth on the
