00:00:35.300 The Stone Zone.
00:00:36.860 Entertaining and informative.
00:00:39.020 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:41.960 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:00:45.920 Well, former Special Counsel Jack Smith faced what I would call blistering scrutiny on Capitol Hill this week
00:00:54.220 as Republicans exposed the gross extra-constitutional abuse of power aimed squarely at President Donald Trump and his family.
00:01:04.000 Not everyone will remember this, but while Joe Biden was still president, but there was growing evidence of his infirmities and the fact that he didn't seem to know where he was or what he was doing on any given day.
00:01:20.600 He was asked point blank by a reporter, aren't you worried about a rematch with Donald Trump?
00:01:29.280 And he kind of smirked and said, no, we're not going to let him run.
00:01:34.200 And there you have it.
00:01:36.460 Joe Biden and his Justice Department launched Operation Arctic Frost.
00:01:43.160 This makes Watergate look like small potatoes.
00:01:46.660 This is the use of the full authority of the judicial section of government, plus our intelligence agencies,
00:01:57.480 to basically remove, or in this case block, a candidate for president for strictly political reasons, highly illegal and unconstitutional.
00:02:11.420 House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan opened the hearings by revisiting the FBI's unprecedented 2020 raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home,
00:02:22.620 an operation that, according to testimony from FBI officials themselves today, ignored standard protocol.
00:02:31.060 In other words, FBI officials, both in the Washington and the Miami offices, because the three southern counties of Florida are under the jurisdiction of the FBI office in Miami,
00:02:44.020 all recommended against it.
00:02:46.600 This sounds familiar.
00:02:47.660 Some of those same people thought that raiding my home at six o'clock in the morning to arrest me for the first time, nonviolent crime of allegedly lying under oath to Congress was a little excessive.
00:03:01.560 In my case, very much like Trump's case, they came in with overwhelming force.
00:03:08.520 They did have a shoot-to-kill order, interestingly enough, and they rummaged through Melania Trump's underwear draw,
00:03:17.240 just as they rummaged through my wife's draw.
00:03:21.000 Chairman Jordan revealed that they also searched First Son Barron Trump's bedroom, along with First Lady Melania Trump's personal belongings,
00:03:34.440 despite, again, the internal FBI recommendations to notify Trump's legal team beforehand, which, of course, they had not done.
00:03:43.180 Those recommendations were reportedly rejected by Biden's hyper-politicized Department of Justice.
00:03:50.940 Jordan further noted that just three years after Trump announced his 2024 presidential comeback bid,
00:03:57.920 Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith, bringing him back from The Hague, as a special counsel.
00:04:05.740 Jack Smith had worked decades ago with Andrew Weissman in Brooklyn, equally corrupt.
00:04:13.260 There are still pending allegations against Jack Smith taking bribes in his role at The Hague that the Justice Department has never adjudicated.
00:04:25.660 But it's not lost on me that Attorney General Merrick Garland almost immediately then staffed his team at the DOJ
00:04:38.520 with people directly tied to the controversial raid on Trump's home.
00:04:44.060 Jordan's testimony made it abundantly clear at this hearing that law enforcement under Smith's direction
00:04:48.820 was weaponized against a political opponent.
00:04:51.760 Smith's testimony actually only continued to make the case.
00:04:56.900 So when asked about President Trump's 2025 pardons of January 6th defendants,
00:05:02.680 Smith abandoned any prosecutorial or legal restraint, openly speculating that those pardoned would commit future crimes.
00:05:12.280 The comments right there demonstrate Smith's deep partisan underpinnings and a lack of objectivity
00:05:17.640 on the question of President Trump and his supporters.
00:05:21.780 And it was Jack Smith and his cohorts who came up with a completely baseless claim
00:05:27.400 that during an election dispute, when a state election returns are disputed,
00:05:34.180 and that dispute is headed to the courts,
00:05:36.500 that the forming of an alternative slate for the Electoral College by a certain deadline is not a crime.
00:05:44.900 But Rudy Giuliani and a number of others still remain charged in Arizona and in Nevada
00:05:53.500 for participating in an alternative elector's slate.
00:05:58.880 Internal elector's slates to the Electoral College are formed
00:06:02.460 to preserve your rights in the event that you are successful in court
00:06:08.340 in overturning the election based on evidence and a trial.
00:06:12.800 So for those out there, you find them all the time that will say,
00:06:17.120 well, Trump's completely full of BS when he says the election was stolen
00:06:20.760 because all of the legal challenges he brought were defeated.
00:06:25.320 That's not true.
00:06:26.340 In fact, none of the legal challenges brought by Mayor Giuliani
00:06:30.640 and other attorneys on behalf of Donald Trump,
00:06:33.840 they weren't rejected by the courts.
00:06:35.500 They were not heard by the courts.
00:06:37.260 The courts managed to not hear those cases in every case based on some technicality.
00:06:45.360 And then you have Attorney General Bill Barr.
00:06:47.780 This is the same Bill Barr who, in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN,
00:06:53.720 said that mail-in ballots are an open invitation for widespread fraud.
00:06:59.140 Yet when the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia told Attorney General Bill Barr
00:07:04.720 that he discovered hard evidence of voter fraud and election fraud in the Keystone State,
00:07:13.660 he was told by Bill Barr to bury it and to do nothing.
00:07:18.200 The highlight, perhaps, of today's hearing was when Congressman Troy Nels
00:07:25.900 was talking about January 6th and correctly laid responsibility
00:07:30.940 for the events that day on the Capitol Hill Police
00:07:35.020 and the Capitol Hill Police leadership,
00:07:38.400 which allegedly failed to share intelligence warning of the coming unrest.
00:07:43.280 President Trump, watching from abroad, called the hearing
00:07:46.620 the unraveling of the Democrats' scam,
00:07:49.940 accusing Trump of destroying lives under the guise of justice.
00:07:54.240 But Michael Fanon, this is the crisis actor
00:07:58.100 playing the role of a Capitol Hill police officer,
00:08:02.080 openly today dropped the F-bomb,
00:08:06.220 yelling F-U at the Texas member of Congress
00:08:11.360 and flipping him off.
00:08:12.880 He had to be physically removed from the hearings.
00:08:18.600 This entire thing boils down to a simple question,
00:08:21.760 and that is whether we are going to see accountability and justice
00:08:25.880 or whether there are two different sets of rules,
00:08:29.880 one for Republicans and one for Democrats.
00:08:32.660 So when Peter Navarro, the president's trade advisor,
00:08:38.200 member of the White House staff,
00:08:39.900 gets a subpoena from the January 6th committee,
00:08:42.320 and he refuses to appear and answer questions.
00:08:46.180 He was arrested humiliatingly in public.
00:08:49.660 He was tried and he was jailed.
00:08:52.080 Now, Bill and Hillary Clinton have been sent a subpoena
00:08:55.460 to answer questions about their relationship with Epstein
00:08:58.660 and Epstein's financial relationship with the Clinton Foundation
00:09:02.200 and the Clinton Global Initiative,
00:09:04.400 as well as their many trips to his island,
00:09:07.360 and they refused to testify.
00:09:10.700 So will they be charged?
00:09:12.820 Will they be arrested?
00:09:14.400 Will they be incarcerated like an average citizen?
00:09:17.120 Or are there special rules for elites?
00:09:20.740 By the way, I was subpoenaed to come up here
00:09:25.300 before the January 6th committee,
00:09:26.540 as was General Flynn.
00:09:28.240 And we both chose to assert our Fifth Amendment rights
00:09:32.100 not to answer questions.
00:09:33.160 By the way, that does not mean that you did anything wrong.
00:09:36.260 It does not mean you were guilty of a crime.
00:09:38.180 It does not mean you have anything to hide.
00:09:40.060 What it does mean is you're smart enough to know
00:09:42.300 that the House Democrats will take what you say under oath
00:09:45.160 and they will twist it into a process crime.
00:09:52.320 So during my trial, I was asked,
00:09:54.520 did you ever get an email from Steve Bannon?
00:09:57.200 And I could remember.
00:09:58.380 I said, I don't recall.
00:09:59.720 And they said, ah, you lied.
00:10:01.260 You see, on this date, you got an email from Bannon.
00:10:04.160 I said, but that's a link to a story
00:10:07.500 on the front page of that day's Washington Post.
00:10:10.240 How could that email be material?
00:10:13.020 How could it be relevant?
00:10:13.980 How could it prove anything whatsoever?
00:10:16.980 So there's a little question that in my case,
00:10:20.340 Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell
00:10:22.960 basically were shared all of my emails
00:10:27.840 by the Mueller prosecutors
00:10:29.180 so they could put together this gotcha list of questions.
00:10:33.460 And although I readily admit,
00:10:35.120 I did make mistakes in my testimony,
00:10:37.740 none of them were willful
00:10:38.800 and none of them were material,
00:10:40.480 meaning they covered no underlying crime.
00:10:45.140 So I guess we're about to see,
00:10:46.720 is there one standard of justice or is there two?
00:10:51.080 The Clintons have a lot to answer for.
00:10:55.100 There is some precedent.
00:10:56.660 President Harry Truman refused to testify
00:10:59.920 for House Republicans in the late 50s.
00:11:01.960 I'm trying to research how that worked out.
00:11:06.560 But these hearings that we are seeing right now,
00:11:09.940 I think are desperately needed.
00:11:12.760 But they must be followed up with prosecutions.
00:11:15.140 Cannot be another Trey Gowdy-esque exercise
00:11:18.320 in political theater.
00:11:20.260 Jack Smith violated the Constitution and the law
00:11:23.520 by spying on U.S. senators,
00:11:26.640 spying on private citizens
00:11:28.200 in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights.
00:11:32.600 Their illegal surveillance alone is problematic.
00:11:36.140 But then inventing this whole fake electors case
00:11:39.960 is yet another example.
00:11:43.120 I do remember Ari Melber,
00:11:44.940 particularly unsavory character,
00:11:47.800 who's on MSNBC,
00:11:49.780 demanding that I should be charged with crimes in Georgia
00:11:52.560 in connection with the fake electors slate,
00:11:55.500 which I really know nothing about.
00:11:57.840 Having not been to Georgia after the election,
00:12:00.980 I couldn't tell you who was on the slate.
00:12:02.980 But I do know in 1877,
00:12:05.500 there were multiple alternative electors slates
00:12:08.680 followed by Thomas Jefferson,
00:12:10.700 John Adams, and others.
00:12:12.520 I also know in 1960,
00:12:15.300 the electoral college slate
00:12:18.660 pledged to Vice President Richard Nixon
00:12:20.360 was declared the winner
00:12:21.820 on election night in Hawaii.
00:12:24.140 But John Kennedy's campaign
00:12:25.440 very wisely formed
00:12:26.580 an alternative slate of electors
00:12:28.100 because once the absentee ballots
00:12:31.020 were counted,
00:12:32.420 Jack Kennedy carried Hawaii,
00:12:34.320 not Richard Nixon.
00:12:35.960 So the idea that
00:12:37.600 forming an alternative slate,
00:12:40.300 whether it's in Nevada or Georgia
00:12:42.000 or Arizona,
00:12:43.920 is a crime,
00:12:45.300 is a crock,
00:12:47.280 to be quite clear.
00:12:48.420 There's no question that
00:12:50.880 after the Russian collusion hoax,
00:12:53.440 the Jack Smith investigation,
00:12:56.120 which is clear,
00:12:57.240 he was charged with Joe Biden
00:12:58.660 and Merrick Garland
00:12:59.480 making sure that Donald Trump
00:13:00.640 could not run again.
00:13:02.200 And he was coordinating
00:13:03.580 with Alvin Bragg
00:13:04.920 and coordinating with Letitia James,
00:13:06.820 the Manhattan District Attorney,
00:13:09.640 the New York County District Attorney,
00:13:11.120 and the New York State Attorney General,
00:13:13.200 as well as coordinating
00:13:14.360 with Fannie Wills
00:13:16.140 in Georgia.
00:13:17.920 She laid her to be disgraced 0.99
00:13:20.120 and the cases there
00:13:21.560 against Trump's supporters
00:13:22.820 dismissed.
00:13:24.300 So there's a lot
00:13:25.840 that has to happen here
00:13:27.040 before we have
00:13:28.180 full justice and accountability. 0.98
00:13:30.600 The lunatics over 0.96
00:13:31.500 at the New York Times 0.99
00:13:32.240 keep saying,
00:13:33.200 Trump is on a revenge tour.
00:13:36.020 This is about retaliation.
00:13:37.880 No, it's about holding those
00:13:39.920 who broke the law
00:13:41.340 and violated the constitutions
00:13:43.280 in their manic effort
00:13:44.740 to destroy Donald Trump
00:13:46.280 accountable.
00:13:47.500 They broke the law.
00:13:48.360 Why should they
00:13:48.980 not be prosecuted?
00:13:50.500 And those Republicans
00:13:51.200 who say,
00:13:52.080 oh, if we're mean to them now,
00:13:54.600 if and when they ever
00:13:55.420 get back in power,
00:13:56.400 they'll be really mean to us.
00:13:58.400 Please.
00:13:58.940 You already stormed
00:13:59.980 my home at six o'clock
00:14:01.220 in the morning.
00:14:02.000 You already scared
00:14:02.660 the daylights
00:14:03.800 out of my wife.
00:14:05.760 You've already terrorized
00:14:07.500 and impoverished
00:14:08.360 my family.
00:14:09.620 So don't tell me
00:14:11.080 about who did what to whom.
00:14:13.200 When I see a punk
00:14:16.860 like Hakeem Jeffries
00:14:18.600 threatening
00:14:19.140 that we're going to
00:14:20.560 indict everyone
00:14:21.140 we get in power,
00:14:22.420 let's take a close look
00:14:23.320 at Hakeem, shall we?
00:14:25.000 Because I think
00:14:25.920 these members of Congress
00:14:27.140 who are now threatening
00:14:29.000 that if they are
00:14:30.520 held accountable
00:14:31.320 that they will down,
00:14:32.940 somewhere downstream
00:14:33.980 get even,
00:14:35.540 this is to me
00:14:36.720 an outrageous.
00:14:37.820 Folks,
00:14:38.100 they will try to destroy 0.77
00:14:39.480 Donald Trump again 0.68
00:14:40.360 if they get the opportunity.
00:14:41.960 How do we know this?
00:14:42.900 Because they tried
00:14:43.660 to destroy him
00:14:44.320 once before.
00:14:45.300 I'm Roger Stone
00:14:46.060 and we'll be right back.

00:15:29.120 Welcome back
00:15:30.140 into the Stone Zone.
00:15:32.220 I have to say
00:15:34.000 that in my 50 years
00:15:35.820 in American politics,
00:15:36.840 I haven't seen anything
00:15:38.160 nearly as chilling
00:15:39.280 and as shocking
00:15:40.720 as the video
00:15:42.540 of this Black Lives Matter 0.96
00:15:44.560 attack
00:15:45.460 on a Christian
00:15:47.260 worship service
00:15:48.660 at the city's church
00:15:50.980 in St. Paul,
00:15:52.020 Minnesota.
00:15:52.360 I honestly
00:15:53.420 cannot believe
00:15:54.980 that this happened
00:15:55.900 in America.
00:15:57.260 but there's
00:15:59.660 strong evidence
00:16:00.560 today
00:16:01.000 that the Biden-era
00:16:02.320 double standard
00:16:03.080 on law and order
00:16:03.820 is officially over.
00:16:04.780 On Thursday,
00:16:05.940 Attorney General
00:16:06.480 Pam Bondi
00:16:07.160 announced the arrest
00:16:08.000 of Twin Cities
00:16:08.820 activist
00:16:09.440 Nakima Levy Armstrong
00:16:11.740 for her alleged role
00:16:13.720 in organizing
00:16:14.580 the coordinated
00:16:15.880 disruption
00:16:16.520 of the Christian
00:16:17.500 worship service
00:16:18.960 at City's church
00:16:20.160 in St. Paul.
00:16:21.220 According to
00:16:21.780 Attorney General Bondi,
00:16:23.280 Armstrong was taken
00:16:24.080 to custody
00:16:24.560 by the FBI
00:16:25.420 at her direction
00:16:26.580 after investigators
00:16:27.540 determined that
00:16:28.540 Armstrong played
00:16:29.780 the key role
00:16:30.840 in planning
00:16:31.500 Sunday's protest
00:16:32.420 where activists
00:16:34.060 stormed the church
00:16:35.420 during mass,
00:16:37.220 chanted slogans,
00:16:38.320 confronted clergy
00:16:39.620 mid-service.
00:16:41.400 I will remind you
00:16:42.060 this is one day
00:16:42.980 after a Black Lives Matter 0.99
00:16:45.700 spokeswoman
00:16:46.660 called for the cities
00:16:48.540 of Minneapolis
00:16:49.300 and St. Paul 0.95
00:16:50.720 to burn
00:16:51.620 her words. 0.99
00:16:52.760 Let's burn it 0.99
00:16:53.480 all down. 0.96
00:16:54.860 Another organizer,
00:16:55.780 Chantelle Louisa Allen,
00:16:59.580 who's actually
00:17:00.400 a sitting member
00:17:01.160 of the St. Paul
00:17:01.880 School Board
00:17:02.600 and a leader
00:17:03.940 of the Black Lives Matter
00:17:05.180 Twin Cities,
00:17:06.520 was also arrested
00:17:07.460 along with a
00:17:08.340 far-left agitator
00:17:09.760 named William Kelly
00:17:11.680 who did a viral
00:17:13.300 TikTok post
00:17:14.280 goading
00:17:14.900 Attorney General
00:17:16.140 Bondi
00:17:16.860 to come get him.
00:17:18.300 So she did it.
00:17:20.040 An indictment
00:17:20.700 has also been filed
00:17:21.820 against fake journalist
00:17:23.300 Don Lemon
00:17:24.520 with a Democrat
00:17:26.400 magistrate
00:17:27.180 currently
00:17:27.680 blocking
00:17:28.560 those charges.
00:17:30.520 I'm not sure
00:17:31.640 how
00:17:32.060 a federal
00:17:34.060 magistrate
00:17:34.920 blocks charges
00:17:35.860 authorized
00:17:36.700 by the Department
00:17:37.580 of Justice,
00:17:38.460 but
00:17:38.680 Don Lemon,
00:17:40.980 if he was
00:17:41.840 interviewing people
00:17:43.180 prior
00:17:44.640 to their
00:17:45.800 invasion
00:17:46.780 of the church
00:17:47.400 and knew
00:17:47.760 they were invading
00:17:48.680 the church
00:17:49.280 and didn't report
00:17:50.420 that to anybody,
00:17:51.120 then that makes him
00:17:52.120 an accessory
00:17:53.200 and
00:17:54.240 as much as his
00:17:55.740 career needs
00:17:56.480 the boost,
00:17:57.460 I do think
00:17:58.200 that he
00:17:59.480 too should be
00:18:01.100 charged.
00:18:02.500 They say
00:18:03.180 a lemon
00:18:04.500 is a
00:18:05.020 sour fruit.
00:18:06.900 Bondi says,
00:18:08.060 listen loud and clear,
00:18:09.720 we will not
00:18:10.380 tolerate attacks
00:18:11.420 on places of worship.
00:18:13.160 The protest
00:18:13.980 targeted the city's
00:18:15.380 church because
00:18:15.980 one of its pastors
00:18:17.080 also serves
00:18:18.780 as an acting
00:18:19.780 ICE field
00:18:21.060 office director
00:18:21.880 for Minnesota.
00:18:23.420 Video footage
00:18:24.240 shows demonstrators
00:18:25.260 shouting inside
00:18:26.160 the sanctuary
00:18:26.980 and actually
00:18:28.160 interrupting
00:18:28.880 and completely
00:18:29.700 disrupting
00:18:30.480 the worship,
00:18:31.580 which is a
00:18:32.240 clear escalation
00:18:33.500 from protest
00:18:34.780 to intimidation.
00:18:36.920 The event
00:18:37.320 was organized
00:18:37.980 by the
00:18:38.740 Racial Justice
00:18:40.060 Network,
00:18:40.860 led by Armstrong.
00:18:42.160 By the way,
00:18:42.860 the names
00:18:43.320 of these groups
00:18:43.960 are always
00:18:44.740 devised so
00:18:46.620 they actually
00:18:47.400 promote the
00:18:49.160 exact opposite
00:18:49.920 of what the
00:18:50.780 name says.
00:18:52.860 The incident
00:18:53.800 sparked national
00:18:54.760 outrage,
00:18:55.280 as you would
00:18:55.640 have expected,
00:18:56.220 with President
00:18:56.640 Trump calling
00:18:57.800 the disruption
00:18:58.540 horrible and
00:18:59.880 directing the
00:19:00.440 Justice Department
00:19:01.040 to investigate.
00:19:01.980 FBI Director
00:19:02.640 Kash Patel
00:19:03.440 confirmed that
00:19:04.740 both Armstrong
00:19:05.340 and Allen
00:19:05.980 have been charged
00:19:06.820 under the
00:19:07.820 Federal
00:19:08.180 FACE Act,
00:19:09.960 which prohibits
00:19:10.740 obstruction and
00:19:11.680 intimidation of
00:19:12.620 houses of worship.
00:19:13.600 interestingly enough,
00:19:14.880 this is the
00:19:15.300 exact same
00:19:16.180 law that
00:19:18.020 Democrat and
00:19:19.140 Biden Attorney
00:19:19.920 General Merrick
00:19:21.880 Garland used
00:19:23.680 to harass,
00:19:26.220 arrest,
00:19:26.940 and prosecute 0.99
00:19:28.220 Christians who 0.54
00:19:30.800 went into
00:19:32.100 houses of worship
00:19:33.140 to pray outside
00:19:35.180 the church
00:19:36.860 against abortion.
00:19:39.100 So, for years,
00:19:40.300 radical activists
00:19:41.160 have been emboldened
00:19:42.260 to harass churches,
00:19:43.200 to silence 0.78
00:19:43.740 Christians, 0.95
00:19:44.620 and hide behind
00:19:46.100 political causes
00:19:46.980 without consequences.
00:19:48.820 This week's arrests,
00:19:50.000 I think,
00:19:50.960 I hope,
00:19:51.800 I pray,
00:19:52.820 send a long
00:19:54.780 overdue message.
00:19:56.420 The First Amendment
00:19:57.600 protects religious
00:19:58.960 freedom,
00:19:59.720 not mob rule.
00:20:01.240 Under President
00:20:01.960 Trump's leadership,
00:20:02.820 the rule of law
00:20:03.500 is going to be
00:20:04.200 restored,
00:20:05.160 and America's
00:20:06.060 houses of worship,
00:20:06.980 whether it's a
00:20:08.400 church,
00:20:09.560 or a synagogue,
00:20:11.120 or a mosque,
00:20:12.280 will be protected
00:20:13.280 from leftist
00:20:14.760 threat.
00:20:16.260 Meanwhile,
00:20:17.020 President Trump
00:20:17.760 has announced
00:20:18.800 that he is
00:20:20.640 very serious
00:20:22.900 about the
00:20:23.620 Greenland deal,
00:20:24.720 and we're going to
00:20:25.120 talk about that
00:20:25.880 when we come back
00:20:26.800 right here
00:20:27.500 in the Stone
00:20:28.220 Zone.
00:20:28.480 So,
00:20:29.600 that's my turn.
00:20:33.520 Investing is all
00:20:34.420 about the future.
00:20:35.580 So,
00:20:36.040 what do you think
00:20:36.780 is going to happen?
00:20:37.560 Bitcoin is sort of
00:20:38.540 inevitable at this point.
00:20:40.060 I think it would
00:20:40.900 come down to
00:20:41.560 precious metals.
00:20:42.640 I hope we don't
00:20:43.400 go cashless.
00:20:44.760 I would say land
00:20:45.700 is a safe investment.
00:20:47.340 Technology,
00:20:47.980 companies,
00:20:48.480 solar energy.
00:20:49.500 Robotic pollinators
00:20:50.860 might be a thing.
00:20:52.100 A wrestler
00:20:52.540 to face a robot,
00:20:53.800 that will have
00:20:54.260 to happen.
00:20:55.400 So,
00:20:56.160 whatever you think
00:20:57.260 is going to happen
00:20:58.000 in the future,
00:20:58.900 you can invest in it

00:21:41.380 On the Red Apple
00:21:42.160 Podcast Network.
00:21:44.320 President Donald
00:21:45.280 Trump,
00:21:45.740 very serious
00:21:47.100 about Greenland,
00:21:49.160 announced yesterday
00:21:50.880 that the United
00:21:51.760 States has reached
00:21:52.560 a framework for a
00:21:54.180 future deal
00:21:54.900 involving Greenland
00:21:55.940 and the broader
00:21:57.280 Arctic region,
00:21:58.260 a move that
00:21:58.820 demonstrates how
00:22:00.320 President Trump's
00:22:01.180 bold,
00:22:01.840 aggressive America
00:22:02.700 first approach
00:22:03.540 to national security
00:22:04.540 and global
00:22:06.060 leadership actually
00:22:07.540 yields dividends.
00:22:08.760 I mean, think about
00:22:10.480 this just for a
00:22:11.840 moment.
00:22:12.180 The idea of a
00:22:14.240 European power
00:22:16.180 still having a
00:22:17.240 colony in our
00:22:18.540 hemisphere
00:22:19.080 is a pretty
00:22:21.820 outdated idea.
00:22:23.740 It's very clear that
00:22:24.820 Denmark cannot afford
00:22:26.320 to defend
00:22:27.340 Greenland.
00:22:29.680 The Danish
00:22:30.820 cannot guarantee
00:22:33.860 the security of
00:22:35.240 Greenland.
00:22:35.700 the Danish
00:22:37.080 cannot even
00:22:38.220 provide a
00:22:39.600 better quality
00:22:40.680 of life
00:22:41.200 for those
00:22:42.060 who live
00:22:42.660 in Greenland.
00:22:44.440 And the
00:22:44.920 Greenland
00:22:45.340 strategically
00:22:46.040 is vitally
00:22:47.180 important
00:22:47.720 to the United
00:22:48.820 States given
00:22:49.600 the huge
00:22:50.920 uptick
00:22:51.580 in both
00:22:53.840 Chinese
00:22:54.400 and Russian
00:22:55.660 submarine
00:22:56.620 activity
00:22:57.520 in our
00:22:58.760 hemisphere,
00:22:59.520 particularly
00:22:59.980 in the
00:23:01.280 north.
00:23:02.300 Following
00:23:02.920 what must
00:23:04.140 have been
00:23:04.340 very productive
00:23:05.040 meetings with
00:23:05.760 the NATO
00:23:06.120 General Secretary
00:23:07.140 Mark Rutt,
00:23:08.460 President Trump
00:23:09.000 revealed that
00:23:09.580 negotiations are
00:23:10.420 now underway
00:23:11.260 to secure
00:23:12.760 U.S.
00:23:13.420 strategic
00:23:13.800 interests in
00:23:14.640 Greenland,
00:23:15.580 calling the
00:23:16.120 territory a
00:23:17.180 core national
00:23:18.460 security priority.
00:23:20.400 As a result of
00:23:21.460 this breakthrough,
00:23:22.240 President Trump
00:23:22.860 suspended tariffs
00:23:23.980 that were set to
00:23:25.340 take effect
00:23:25.960 February 1st
00:23:27.380 in a show of
00:23:28.260 good faith that
00:23:29.020 will hopefully
00:23:29.480 lead to more
00:23:30.260 fruitful negotiations.
00:23:31.920 personally, I
00:23:33.740 favor a vote
00:23:34.840 of the people
00:23:35.620 of Greenland.
00:23:37.000 Let's have a
00:23:37.700 national referendum
00:23:39.180 and see whether
00:23:40.320 they prefer
00:23:40.960 independence
00:23:41.780 over their
00:23:43.120 current colonial
00:23:44.000 status as a 1.00
00:23:45.180 bastard stepchild 1.00
00:23:47.700 for Denmark. 1.00
00:23:51.160 Speaking at the
00:23:52.120 World Economic
00:23:52.900 Forum in Davos,
00:23:54.100 which was a
00:23:55.620 treat because
00:23:56.620 Donald Trump
00:23:57.120 went right into
00:23:58.220 the belly of
00:23:59.260 the beast
00:23:59.800 and essentially
00:24:01.540 told the
00:24:03.500 global elitists
00:24:04.700 that their
00:24:05.960 vision for
00:24:07.200 one world
00:24:08.220 government and
00:24:09.000 the new world
00:24:10.220 order was
00:24:12.180 DOA under
00:24:14.280 Donald Trump's
00:24:15.060 new put
00:24:15.540 America first 0.69
00:24:17.000 agenda.
00:24:19.160 Speaking at the
00:24:20.100 Forum, President
00:24:20.700 Trump made the
00:24:21.360 stakes clear.
00:24:22.040 Greenland, he
00:24:22.760 said, sits in a
00:24:24.180 critical position
00:24:25.100 between the
00:24:25.580 United States,
00:24:26.420 Russia, and
00:24:26.980 China, yet
00:24:28.320 remains dangerously
00:24:29.780 under-defended.
00:24:31.700 President Trump
00:24:32.360 argued the only
00:24:33.100 states on the
00:24:33.820 United States
00:24:34.340 has the
00:24:34.740 capability and
00:24:35.640 the resolve to
00:24:36.420 secure the
00:24:37.640 Arctic in an
00:24:38.520 era of growing
00:24:39.520 geopolitical
00:24:40.600 instability.
00:24:41.760 President Trump
00:24:42.280 also reminded
00:24:42.940 the world that
00:24:44.680 Democrats and
00:24:45.660 globalist elites
00:24:46.740 would like to
00:24:47.500 forget this
00:24:48.200 small part of
00:24:49.000 history.
00:24:49.760 During World
00:24:50.200 War II, Denmark
00:24:50.940 was unable to
00:24:52.000 defend Greenland
00:24:52.900 after it fell to
00:24:54.640 Nazi Germany.
00:24:56.040 The United States
00:24:56.740 stepped in, built
00:24:57.600 bases, defended
00:24:58.560 the island, and
00:24:59.960 prevented enemy
00:25:00.780 powers from
00:25:01.400 gaining a
00:25:01.880 foothold in
00:25:03.000 the Western
00:25:03.420 Hemisphere.
00:25:04.700 They handed
00:25:05.640 Greenland back
00:25:06.580 to the Danes
00:25:07.840 after the war.
00:25:09.800 It's also
00:25:10.660 important to
00:25:11.300 note that
00:25:11.720 Presidents Harry
00:25:12.580 S. Truman and
00:25:13.940 President Dwight
00:25:14.640 Eisenhower both
00:25:16.000 expressed interest
00:25:17.060 in taking control
00:25:18.860 of Greenland
00:25:20.200 during their
00:25:21.240 presidency.
00:25:22.000 So this is not
00:25:22.700 a partisan issue.
00:25:24.260 This is an
00:25:24.940 American issue.
00:25:25.780 Today, President
00:25:27.700 Trump says
00:25:28.240 Denmark has
00:25:28.900 once again
00:25:29.440 failed to
00:25:29.900 meet its
00:25:30.200 defense
00:25:30.560 commitments,
00:25:31.580 spending a
00:25:32.220 fraction of
00:25:32.900 what it
00:25:33.220 promised to
00:25:34.440 spend to
00:25:35.020 protect the
00:25:35.560 territory, while
00:25:37.020 emphasizing that
00:25:38.120 force is not
00:25:39.180 on the table.
00:25:40.080 In other words,
00:25:40.580 President Trump
00:25:41.180 isn't just going
00:25:42.420 to invade and
00:25:44.380 take control of
00:25:45.500 Greenland, although
00:25:46.260 it's conceivable
00:25:47.580 based on the
00:25:48.200 polls I've seen
00:25:48.900 that the people
00:25:49.420 of Greenland
00:25:49.900 might actually
00:25:50.840 like that.
00:25:52.800 President Trump
00:25:53.380 made it clear
00:25:54.060 that he is
00:25:54.580 very serious
00:25:55.140 however about
00:25:55.680 negotiations.
00:25:56.740 Vice President
00:25:57.220 J.D. Vance,
00:25:58.620 Secretary of
00:25:59.280 State Marco
00:25:59.860 Rubio, and
00:26:00.800 Special Envoy
00:26:01.900 Steve Wyckoff
00:26:03.220 will lead talks
00:26:04.160 directly under
00:26:06.380 President Trump's
00:26:07.300 directions.
00:26:08.420 President Trump's
00:26:09.220 art of the deal
00:26:10.320 negotiating tactics
00:26:11.520 seem to be paying
00:26:12.400 off.
00:26:13.320 America will 0.92
00:26:13.840 receive greater
00:26:14.460 control over
00:26:15.140 Greenland in a
00:26:15.960 deal, I predict,
00:26:17.520 that works out
00:26:18.080 for all parties.
00:26:19.760 Could Greenland
00:26:20.400 ultimately become
00:26:21.420 our 51st state?
00:26:23.500 Well, it's
00:26:24.220 entirely possible,
00:26:26.540 but I think
00:26:27.200 that there are
00:26:27.740 a couple of
00:26:28.260 Canadian provinces
00:26:29.180 that are ahead
00:26:30.200 of them.
00:26:30.560 You see, under
00:26:30.980 Canada's
00:26:32.280 constitution,
00:26:33.600 any province,
00:26:34.460 which is like
00:26:34.980 a state,
00:26:36.080 for our context,
00:26:37.940 has the ability
00:26:39.160 by a simple
00:26:39.900 vote of the
00:26:40.780 people to
00:26:41.880 withdraw from
00:26:42.660 the Canadian
00:26:43.520 Federation and
00:26:45.080 become independent.
00:26:47.980 Saskatchewan
00:26:48.700 and Alberta,
00:26:51.320 both provinces
00:26:53.420 in the West,
00:26:56.280 Saskatchewan is
00:26:57.200 both smaller
00:26:57.820 and richer
00:26:58.540 than Alberta.
00:27:00.120 Richer when I
00:27:01.320 speak of
00:27:02.380 rare earth
00:27:03.420 minerals such
00:27:04.020 as potash,
00:27:05.220 gas,
00:27:06.140 and oil,
00:27:08.060 is extraordinarily
00:27:09.540 conservative.
00:27:10.760 Alberta,
00:27:11.460 quite conservative.
00:27:13.000 These are the
00:27:13.660 two most
00:27:14.080 productive provinces
00:27:15.220 in Canada,
00:27:16.060 by the way.
00:27:17.260 And the voters
00:27:18.480 there are really
00:27:19.080 kind of getting
00:27:19.520 tired of paying
00:27:20.360 for their
00:27:22.040 fellow Canadians
00:27:23.240 in the East
00:27:24.320 who don't
00:27:24.700 produce much
00:27:25.520 other than
00:27:27.000 the fact that
00:27:27.700 now public
00:27:29.360 drug use
00:27:30.100 is particularly,
00:27:31.760 is specifically
00:27:32.800 legal in
00:27:34.100 Canada.
00:27:35.200 And if you
00:27:35.680 visit any of
00:27:36.360 their major
00:27:36.760 cities,
00:27:37.140 you will soon
00:27:37.740 learn that
00:27:38.380 most of the
00:27:39.120 people you
00:27:39.580 encounter
00:27:40.100 seem to be
00:27:41.720 stoned.
00:27:43.180 The government
00:27:44.080 there,
00:27:44.420 the central
00:27:44.780 government,
00:27:45.100 has moved
00:27:45.500 very aggressively
00:27:46.220 to try to
00:27:47.140 build a
00:27:48.600 record,
00:27:49.700 a log,
00:27:50.720 of every
00:27:51.320 firearm in
00:27:52.200 the country
00:27:52.640 and who
00:27:53.140 owns it
00:27:53.680 and where
00:27:53.960 exactly it
00:27:54.820 is.
00:27:56.700 Now,
00:27:57.240 why would
00:27:57.560 they be
00:27:57.840 doing that?
00:27:59.000 Why would
00:27:59.520 a strong
00:28:00.900 central government
00:28:01.600 want to have
00:28:02.340 that information
00:28:03.360 unless,
00:28:04.420 of course,
00:28:04.660 someday they
00:28:05.200 intend to
00:28:05.800 seize those 0.63
00:28:08.940 guns?
00:28:10.080 So,
00:28:10.540 there is an
00:28:11.100 active movement
00:28:11.840 in Saskatchewan
00:28:12.980 where I
00:28:13.400 understand they
00:28:13.980 will collect
00:28:14.480 the signatures
00:28:15.020 to put the
00:28:16.300 question on
00:28:16.940 the ballot
00:28:17.340 as to whether
00:28:17.920 they should
00:28:18.360 become independent
00:28:19.760 from Canada.
00:28:21.200 There is also
00:28:21.920 a fledging
00:28:22.620 movement to
00:28:23.200 do the same
00:28:23.720 thing in
00:28:24.180 Alberta.
00:28:25.700 So,
00:28:26.140 they would
00:28:27.080 have to
00:28:27.680 obviously win
00:28:28.920 that vote.
00:28:30.520 The Canadian
00:28:32.660 federal government,
00:28:34.340 as it were,
00:28:35.360 would have to
00:28:35.860 allow their
00:28:36.340 exit as
00:28:36.900 prescribed by
00:28:38.140 law.
00:28:39.060 And then they
00:28:39.500 could conceivably
00:28:40.580 apply for
00:28:41.860 membership in
00:28:42.740 the United
00:28:43.080 States,
00:28:43.640 which has
00:28:44.760 several levels
00:28:46.220 of approval,
00:28:47.400 including approval
00:28:48.400 by a majority
00:28:49.180 of the states,
00:28:50.800 not entirely
00:28:52.300 out of the
00:28:53.340 country.
00:28:54.380 So,
00:28:54.680 watch the
00:28:55.180 Greenland
00:28:55.540 situation very
00:28:56.420 serious.
00:28:56.920 I've talked
00:28:57.280 to the
00:28:57.540 president,
00:28:57.880 I can tell
00:28:58.200 you he is
00:28:59.060 quite serious
00:29:00.120 about gaining
00:29:01.620 control over
00:29:02.640 Greenland.
00:29:04.580 Meanwhile,
00:29:05.080 President Trump
00:29:05.680 has launched
00:29:06.200 a sweeping
00:29:07.060 $5 billion
00:29:08.420 lawsuit against
00:29:09.740 JPMorgan Chase
00:29:11.100 and its
00:29:12.220 longtime CEO,
00:29:13.940 Jamie Dimon,
00:29:15.240 accusing the
00:29:16.080 banking giant
00:29:16.920 of politically
00:29:18.100 motivated
00:29:18.820 debanking
00:29:19.600 in a case
00:29:21.120 that puts
00:29:21.500 weaponization
00:29:22.140 of corporate
00:29:22.700 power in
00:29:23.800 the national
00:29:24.320 spotlight.
00:29:24.940 Thank God
00:29:25.980 that President
00:29:26.880 Trump has
00:29:27.520 both the
00:29:28.120 standing and
00:29:29.640 the resources
00:29:30.320 to fight this
00:29:31.040 fight.
00:29:31.400 I know
00:29:31.840 literally
00:29:32.760 hundreds,
00:29:33.880 if not
00:29:34.220 thousands,
00:29:34.880 of patriots,
00:29:35.640 Trump supporters,
00:29:36.320 who,
00:29:37.860 because they
00:29:38.840 chose to
00:29:39.520 express their
00:29:40.780 conservative or
00:29:41.680 pro-Trump views
00:29:42.680 on social media
00:29:43.760 or in the
00:29:44.920 public square,
00:29:46.380 were not only
00:29:47.540 censored by
00:29:49.020 Facebook and
00:29:50.640 Instagram and
00:29:51.760 the old
00:29:52.480 Twitter and
00:29:54.500 TikTok,
00:29:55.400 Snapchat,
00:29:56.600 but also
00:29:57.660 completely
00:29:58.820 debagged.
00:29:59.580 That's when
00:30:00.100 your bank,
00:30:01.460 your personal
00:30:01.980 bank, say one
00:30:02.840 that you've been
00:30:03.440 doing business
00:30:04.340 with for 20
00:30:05.220 plus years,
00:30:06.320 suddenly comes
00:30:07.180 to you and
00:30:07.520 says,
00:30:08.040 we can no
00:30:08.420 longer service
00:30:09.780 you as a
00:30:10.280 bank.
00:30:10.880 We are
00:30:11.220 closing your
00:30:12.000 accounts.
00:30:12.880 No, we
00:30:13.200 can't tell
00:30:13.660 you why.
00:30:15.400 And it
00:30:16.160 has happened
00:30:17.020 to many,
00:30:18.340 many,
00:30:19.000 many of
00:30:19.780 Trump's
00:30:20.100 supporters.
00:30:21.000 Unfortunately
00:30:21.460 for JPMorgan
00:30:23.380 Chase, it
00:30:23.960 happened to
00:30:24.820 Donald Trump
00:30:25.820 himself.
00:30:27.040 And he
00:30:27.480 refuses to
00:30:28.140 take that
00:30:28.740 sitting down.
00:30:30.160 So on
00:30:31.420 Thursday, he
00:30:32.100 filed in
00:30:32.600 Florida State
00:30:33.180 Court a
00:30:34.600 multi-million
00:30:35.240 dollar lawsuit
00:30:36.060 alleging that
00:30:36.820 JPMorgan
00:30:37.580 abruptly
00:30:38.640 terminated
00:30:39.340 multiple
00:30:39.960 Trump-related
00:30:40.640 accounts in
00:30:41.840 early 2021
00:30:42.820 after literally
00:30:44.380 decades of
00:30:45.220 doing business
00:30:45.940 and running
00:30:47.040 hundreds of
00:30:47.640 millions of
00:30:48.160 dollars through
00:30:48.820 those banks
00:30:49.520 in various
00:30:50.840 transactions.
00:30:52.160 They took
00:30:52.500 this action
00:30:53.040 against the
00:30:53.560 president without
00:30:54.160 warning, 0.68
00:30:55.240 recourse,
00:30:56.300 justification.
00:30:57.260 They gave
00:30:58.000 him no
00:30:58.360 opportunity to
00:30:59.440 appeal.
00:31:00.880 Trump's
00:31:01.300 attorney,
00:31:02.100 Alejandro
00:31:02.740 Brito,
00:31:03.920 argues that the
00:31:04.660 move violates
00:31:05.440 to the
00:31:05.720 bank's own
00:31:06.320 code of
00:31:06.700 conduct,
00:31:07.520 which pledges
00:31:08.360 integrity,
00:31:09.400 fairness,
00:31:10.160 and ethical
00:31:10.760 behavior.
00:31:11.600 According to
00:31:12.020 the complaint,
00:31:13.120 the turning
00:31:13.480 point came on
00:31:14.260 February 19,
00:31:15.340 2021, when
00:31:16.820 JPMorgan
00:31:17.560 informed Trump
00:31:18.340 and his
00:31:18.780 affiliated
00:31:19.220 companies that
00:31:20.480 their accounts
00:31:21.100 would be
00:31:22.880 closed just
00:31:24.780 two months
00:31:25.340 later.
00:31:26.500 No violations
00:31:27.340 were cited,
00:31:28.300 no remedies
00:31:28.920 were offered,
00:31:29.920 no appeal
00:31:30.480 process was
00:31:31.240 pointed out.
00:31:31.920 the decision
00:31:32.940 the law
00:31:33.560 firm claims
00:31:34.320 that Trump's
00:31:35.500 control was
00:31:36.020 final and
00:31:37.600 indeed
00:31:38.220 political.
00:31:39.740 Trump's
00:31:40.140 legal team
00:31:40.680 claims JPMorgan
00:31:41.880 acted not
00:31:42.520 out of
00:31:42.820 regulatory
00:31:43.300 necessity,
00:31:44.560 but out of
00:31:45.200 woke
00:31:45.540 ideological
00:31:46.380 motivation,
00:31:47.300 seeking to
00:31:47.780 distance itself
00:31:48.500 from Trump
00:31:49.080 and his
00:31:50.020 conservative
00:31:50.520 views in
00:31:51.160 a moment
00:31:51.540 when corporate
00:31:52.480 America was
00:31:53.060 aggressively
00:31:53.660 virtue-signaling
00:31:55.120 loyalty to the
00:31:56.140 political left.
00:31:57.460 The lawsuit
00:31:58.120 warns that
00:31:58.760 this conduct
00:31:59.300 reflects a
00:31:59.920 dangerous and
00:32:00.600 growing trend
00:32:01.560 of powerful
00:32:03.100 financial
00:32:04.020 institutions
00:32:05.200 cutting Americans 1.00
00:32:06.000 off from
00:32:06.860 basic banking
00:32:07.700 services based
00:32:08.960 on solely
00:32:09.520 political
00:32:10.040 considerations.
00:32:11.840 Even more
00:32:12.360 troubling,
00:32:12.980 the suit
00:32:13.360 alleges that
00:32:14.320 JPMorgan
00:32:15.000 and Jamie
00:32:15.980 Diamond
00:32:16.360 placed Trump
00:32:17.640 and his
00:32:18.040 family and
00:32:18.800 his businesses
00:32:19.340 on a secret
00:32:20.600 banking
00:32:21.200 blacklist
00:32:22.240 accessible to
00:32:23.560 federally
00:32:24.020 regulated
00:32:24.540 institutions,
00:32:25.860 effectively
00:32:26.420 moving to
00:32:27.300 freeze them
00:32:27.760 out of the
00:32:28.200 financial system
00:32:29.140 entirely,
00:32:29.920 despite full
00:32:31.360 compliance with
00:32:32.760 banking rules.
00:32:33.800 In other
00:32:34.120 words,
00:32:35.180 JPMorgan Chase
00:32:36.200 could not
00:32:36.700 point to
00:32:37.180 anything Donald
00:32:37.980 Trump or
00:32:38.780 his companies
00:32:39.320 had done
00:32:39.860 wrong in
00:32:40.840 their banking.
00:32:42.120 JPMorgan
00:32:42.880 denies the
00:32:43.620 allegations,
00:32:44.380 claiming it
00:32:44.940 does not
00:32:45.500 close accounts
00:32:46.920 for political
00:32:47.520 reasons,
00:32:48.300 but we know
00:32:49.240 otherwise.
00:32:50.360 Why then did
00:32:51.000 they close
00:32:51.440 Trump's accounts?
00:32:52.240 Perhaps they
00:32:52.700 could answer
00:32:53.160 that question.
00:32:54.560 Trump's lawsuit
00:32:55.160 accuses the
00:32:55.860 bank of
00:32:56.340 trade libel,
00:32:57.940 deceptive trade
00:32:58.760 practices,
00:32:59.300 and breaching
00:33:00.300 the basic
00:33:01.940 standards of
00:33:02.660 good faith.
00:33:03.800 Trump is
00:33:04.180 demanding a
00:33:04.760 jury trial,
00:33:05.660 smart,
00:33:06.380 setting up a
00:33:07.060 major legal
00:33:08.020 showdown.
00:33:09.420 It also shows
00:33:10.320 that President
00:33:10.760 Trump is not
00:33:11.480 afraid to go
00:33:12.360 toe-to-toe
00:33:13.020 with influential
00:33:13.740 and in this
00:33:14.720 case very
00:33:15.180 powerful banking
00:33:16.160 institutions,
00:33:17.420 something that
00:33:17.900 no other
00:33:18.320 president in
00:33:18.960 our time has
00:33:20.060 ever dared
00:33:20.940 to do.
00:33:21.520 This is why
00:33:22.760 we elected
00:33:23.260 him, I
00:33:23.560 think, to
00:33:23.940 make sure
00:33:24.300 that the
00:33:24.640 wealthy and
00:33:25.080 the powerful
00:33:25.600 are held to
00:33:26.700 account when
00:33:27.400 they refuse to
00:33:28.240 put America
00:33:29.300 first when they
00:33:30.220 violate the
00:33:31.060 law or the
00:33:32.380 Constitution.
00:33:33.960 Frankly, kiss
00:33:35.120 that Federal
00:33:35.640 Reserve Chairman
00:33:36.440 post you were
00:33:37.520 angling for
00:33:38.340 goodbye,
00:33:39.180 Jamie Dimon.
00:33:40.200 Don't think
00:33:40.780 you're going
00:33:41.440 to be getting
00:33:43.040 it.
00:33:43.640 It is
00:33:45.520 amazing that
00:33:48.500 people won't
00:33:49.120 remember this,
00:33:49.700 but President
00:33:50.200 Donald Trump
00:33:50.720 filed a civil
00:33:51.700 suit that
00:33:52.720 outlined the
00:33:53.440 entire Russian 0.58
00:33:54.580 collusion hoax
00:33:55.800 in Miami.
00:33:58.260 And it went
00:33:58.700 to an Obama,
00:34:00.120 pardon me,
00:34:00.660 a Clinton
00:34:01.700 appointed judge
00:34:02.620 named McCormick.
00:34:04.620 And McCormick
00:34:05.320 not only dismissed
00:34:06.360 the case,
00:34:07.920 but he tried
00:34:08.980 to, or he
00:34:10.160 fined President
00:34:11.880 Trump and his
00:34:12.620 lawyer Alina
00:34:13.440 Haba $1 million
00:34:14.860 apiece.
00:34:16.780 Here's the
00:34:17.320 problem.
00:34:18.560 The classified
00:34:20.300 documents released
00:34:21.940 by Tulsi
00:34:22.920 Gabbard prove
00:34:24.380 that every
00:34:25.400 single claim
00:34:26.740 in that civil
00:34:27.500 lawsuit filed
00:34:28.480 in Florida that
00:34:29.600 outlined the
00:34:30.160 Russian collusion
00:34:30.820 hoax was
00:34:31.660 accurate.
00:34:32.460 So I say it's
00:34:33.300 time for Judge
00:34:33.960 McCormick to
00:34:34.900 retire from the
00:34:35.740 bench.
00:34:36.400 And if he refuses
00:34:37.200 to retire from
00:34:38.000 the bench,
00:34:39.000 since his ruling
00:34:39.880 is now proven
00:34:40.720 to be false,
00:34:42.540 and the
00:34:42.880 president evidently
00:34:43.600 has no appeal
00:34:44.760 of this $1
00:34:45.560 million fine,
00:34:46.800 well then the
00:34:47.320 Senate, frankly,
00:34:48.160 the House,
00:34:48.680 I should say,
00:34:50.120 should introduce
00:34:51.300 articles of
00:34:52.040 impeachment against
00:34:53.060 Judge McCormick.
00:34:54.480 I've checked the
00:34:55.440 Constitution very
00:34:56.520 carefully.
00:34:57.420 I can't find the
00:34:58.300 section that
00:34:59.300 shows that the
00:35:00.000 judicial branch is
00:35:01.060 more powerful or
00:35:02.120 has more authority
00:35:03.080 than the legislative
00:35:04.240 branch.
00:35:04.980 It doesn't.
00:35:06.240 So in this
00:35:07.380 particular case,
00:35:08.940 the judges
00:35:09.460 claim that
00:35:10.980 Trump's civil
00:35:12.140 suit regarding
00:35:13.020 Russian collusion
00:35:14.080 was fanciful or
00:35:15.440 was somehow
00:35:15.800 false, we now
00:35:16.940 know every word
00:35:17.760 of it was
00:35:18.500 true.
00:35:19.260 That decision
00:35:20.060 has to be
00:35:20.680 overturned or
00:35:21.920 frankly that
00:35:22.520 judge should be
00:35:23.420 examined in
00:35:24.460 terms of their
00:35:25.080 qualifications to
00:35:26.180 sit on the
00:35:27.180 bench.
00:35:28.540 I thought at
00:35:29.400 the time that
00:35:29.960 Trump's filing
00:35:30.820 the civil lawsuit
00:35:31.580 was a very smart
00:35:32.880 thing to do,
00:35:33.460 even though I
00:35:33.800 thought that there
00:35:34.460 was a slim
00:35:35.580 chance that he
00:35:36.700 would prevail in
00:35:38.000 court depending on
00:35:39.020 whether he got
00:35:39.840 a fair-minded
00:35:40.440 judge or
00:35:41.020 whether he
00:35:41.360 got a
00:35:41.780 Clinton-Obama-Biden
00:35:43.860 appointed hack,
00:35:45.560 but I thought it
00:35:46.740 was important to
00:35:47.460 memorialize just
00:35:49.000 for the record
00:35:49.700 what happened in
00:35:51.640 Russian collusion
00:35:52.320 and the act that
00:35:53.460 every individual
00:35:54.260 played, Barack
00:35:55.040 Obama, Joe
00:35:55.800 Biden, Susan
00:35:56.800 Rice, James
00:35:57.560 Comey, John
00:35:58.540 Brennan, James
00:35:59.440 Clapper, Andrew
00:36:00.540 McCabe, Andrew
00:36:01.780 Weissman, and the
00:36:03.520 rest.
00:36:04.220 Now go back and
00:36:05.000 look at that civil
00:36:05.840 lawsuit.
00:36:06.560 It is all proven
00:36:07.760 by the declassified
00:36:09.280 documents released
00:36:10.220 by Tulsi Gabbard.
00:36:12.280 Clearly, that
00:36:13.400 one million dollar
00:36:14.280 fine for President
00:36:15.780 Trump and for
00:36:17.320 his lawyer Alina
00:36:18.320 Haba should be 1.00
00:36:19.880 zeroed out and
00:36:21.980 that decision
00:36:22.820 should be
00:36:23.480 reversed.
00:36:24.500 I'm Roger Stone.
00:36:25.700 You're listening to
00:36:26.600 The Stone Zone
00:36:27.340 wherever you do.
00:36:28.280 Don't go away
00:36:28.880 because we'll be
00:36:30.000 right back.
00:36:34.300 The Stone Zone.
00:36:36.360 Entertaining and

00:36:38.760 Red Apple Podcast
00:36:40.000 Network.
00:36:41.500 Former National
00:36:42.380 Security Advisor
00:36:43.440 John Bolton, you
00:36:44.640 remember him, he's
00:36:45.420 the guy with the
00:36:46.300 walrus mustache.
00:36:48.840 He had served
00:36:50.000 under President
00:36:50.880 George W.
00:36:52.060 Bush, major
00:36:52.760 cheerleader for
00:36:54.080 the war on Iraq,
00:36:55.140 which turned out to
00:36:55.840 be a complete
00:36:56.520 fraud that cost
00:36:58.400 thousands of
00:36:59.080 Americans the
00:36:59.800 lives and hundreds
00:37:00.920 of thousands of
00:37:02.040 Iraqis their 1.00
00:37:03.180 lives.
00:37:04.140 He has now
00:37:04.740 resurfaced on
00:37:05.700 CNN this week
00:37:06.780 to once again
00:37:07.460 attack President
00:37:08.220 Trump's newly
00:37:09.320 announced Board
00:37:10.180 of Peace.
00:37:10.720 The Board
00:37:10.980 of Peace is
00:37:11.980 essentially the
00:37:14.040 transitional
00:37:15.200 organization that
00:37:16.460 will attempt to
00:37:18.120 bring peace to
00:37:19.200 Gaza.
00:37:20.920 And the
00:37:22.220 comments of
00:37:22.800 Bolton offer
00:37:24.040 the familiar
00:37:24.860 blend of
00:37:25.780 alarmism, elitism,
00:37:27.220 and sour grapes
00:37:28.760 that come from
00:37:30.280 the mustachio
00:37:31.780 warmongers
00:37:32.540 commentary in
00:37:33.700 recent years.
00:37:35.060 John Bolton
00:37:35.540 never met a
00:37:37.080 war he didn't
00:37:37.940 like.
00:37:38.780 At one point,
00:37:39.480 he wanted to
00:37:39.960 start a war with 0.65
00:37:40.640 the North Koreans
00:37:41.460 because they had
00:37:42.620 shot down an
00:37:43.500 unmanned drone.
00:37:45.380 When President
00:37:45.920 Trump asked him
00:37:46.580 how many people
00:37:47.140 were killed, he 0.83
00:37:47.680 said, well,
00:37:48.020 none.
00:37:49.140 So Trump
00:37:49.640 says, you
00:37:50.000 want me to
00:37:50.480 launch a 0.97
00:37:50.840 nuclear attack 0.69
00:37:51.500 on North
00:37:52.000 Vietnam because
00:37:53.240 they shot down
00:37:53.960 a drone in
00:37:54.440 which no one
00:37:54.920 was killed.
00:37:55.980 Yeah, that's
00:37:56.400 about the size
00:37:57.060 of it, said
00:37:57.820 John Bolton.
00:38:00.120 Appearing on
00:38:00.900 the source
00:38:01.480 with Caitlin
00:38:02.320 Collins, she
00:38:03.580 smirked me at
00:38:04.360 Fox before that
00:38:05.260 at the Daily
00:38:05.780 Caller.
00:38:06.500 Talk about a
00:38:06.980 switch hitter.
00:38:08.260 Bolton derided
00:38:09.880 the initiative
00:38:10.520 as an embarrassment
00:38:11.520 to the United
00:38:12.700 States, scoffing
00:38:14.320 at President
00:38:14.780 Trump's
00:38:15.180 willingness to
00:38:15.940 engage leaders
00:38:17.000 outside of
00:38:18.420 Washington's
00:38:19.560 preferred cabal.
00:38:21.660 He specifically
00:38:22.480 mocked the
00:38:23.120 inclusion of one
00:38:24.200 of the men
00:38:25.060 I admire the
00:38:25.880 most, the
00:38:26.460 President of
00:38:27.460 Hungary, Victor
00:38:28.280 Orban, who
00:38:29.580 was elected in
00:38:30.360 a Democrat
00:38:31.080 election, and
00:38:32.880 he's a stout
00:38:33.940 opponent of
00:38:34.720 globalism and
00:38:36.240 an acute critic
00:38:37.180 of George
00:38:38.000 Soros. 0.78
00:38:38.580 In fact, there's
00:38:39.780 an arrest
00:38:40.880 warrant out for
00:38:41.980 George Soros
00:38:43.240 in Hungary.
00:38:45.620 He cannot
00:38:45.820 return to his
00:38:46.820 native Hungary
00:38:47.680 lest he be
00:38:49.080 arrested.
00:38:51.600 Bolton even
00:38:52.460 suggested that
00:38:53.180 President Trump's
00:38:53.820 effort to
00:38:54.240 negotiate cease
00:38:55.040 fires or to
00:38:56.340 de-escalate
00:38:57.140 global conflicts
00:38:58.280 is all based
00:38:59.600 on vanity
00:39:00.340 rather than
00:39:01.920 strategy.
00:39:02.540 Well, the
00:39:02.820 President is
00:39:03.500 very proud of
00:39:04.660 the fact that
00:39:05.360 in eight
00:39:06.080 different hot
00:39:06.800 spots around
00:39:07.520 the world,
00:39:08.620 for example,
00:39:09.500 the long and
00:39:11.480 particularly bloody
00:39:12.140 war between
00:39:12.740 Congo and
00:39:13.460 Rwanda,
00:39:14.440 President Trump
00:39:15.020 was able to
00:39:15.700 negotiate
00:39:16.300 peace.
00:39:17.620 But Bolton's
00:39:18.260 criticisms say
00:39:19.180 to me a lot
00:39:20.060 more about his
00:39:20.940 motivations than
00:39:22.380 Donald Trump's
00:39:23.100 foreign policy.
00:39:24.560 Bolton has
00:39:25.260 long championed
00:39:26.260 the endless
00:39:26.740 confrontation,
00:39:27.660 regime change,
00:39:28.700 permanent war
00:39:29.460 footing,
00:39:30.120 particularly in
00:39:30.560 Ukraine and
00:39:31.060 the Middle
00:39:31.340 East,
00:39:32.020 while dismissing
00:39:32.900 any effort at
00:39:34.080 diplomacy to
00:39:35.280 get to peace
00:39:36.160 as a weakness.
00:39:38.160 John Bolton
00:39:38.860 and people like
00:39:40.020 him think that
00:39:40.700 peace is never
00:39:41.400 an objective and
00:39:42.120 that war drums
00:39:42.740 must always be
00:39:43.600 beating.
00:39:44.360 Kind of reminds me
00:39:45.040 of Lindsey
00:39:45.580 Graham, that guy
00:39:46.900 who starts foaming
00:39:47.540 at the mouth when
00:39:48.240 he thinks about
00:39:48.820 war, he loves it
00:39:49.620 so much.
00:39:50.440 Of course, he
00:39:50.820 himself will not
00:39:51.540 be sent to
00:39:52.120 serve.
00:39:53.040 His claims that
00:39:53.840 Trump is not
00:39:54.500 focusing on real
00:39:55.820 threats, I speak
00:39:57.480 here of Bolton,
00:39:59.280 is coming from
00:40:00.820 the architect of
00:40:02.580 the failed
00:40:03.480 intervention that
00:40:04.420 destabilized entire
00:40:05.580 regions and drained
00:40:07.160 America of its
00:40:08.200 blood and treasure
00:40:09.180 during the Iraq
00:40:10.420 War.
00:40:11.380 The American people
00:40:12.280 have rejected that
00:40:13.360 worldview, in my
00:40:14.140 opinion.
00:40:14.640 The people elected
00:40:15.340 Donald Trump to
00:40:16.540 break away from
00:40:17.380 the foreign policy
00:40:18.300 establishment that
00:40:19.420 John Bolton
00:40:20.440 represents.
00:40:21.160 Yes, it is one
00:40:21.960 that thrives on
00:40:22.800 fear, escalation
00:40:25.360 and endless
00:40:27.580 taxpayer-funded
00:40:29.040 endless war.
00:40:31.140 Bolton's outrage
00:40:32.100 over Trump-seeking
00:40:33.020 dialogue, even with
00:40:34.740 supposedly controversial
00:40:35.960 leaders, reflects a
00:40:37.680 deeper frustration.
00:40:39.540 People like Bolton
00:40:40.520 and the elites no
00:40:41.480 longer set the
00:40:42.400 agenda.
00:40:43.580 The era of
00:40:44.780 neocon dictating
00:40:46.100 policy from think
00:40:47.180 tanks and cable
00:40:48.400 news studios is
00:40:50.260 over.
00:40:50.580 While John Bolton
00:40:51.840 sneers from CNN,
00:40:53.800 President Trump is
00:40:54.560 pursuing results-oriented
00:40:56.420 approaches focused
00:40:57.840 on de-escalating and
00:40:59.520 putting America
00:41:00.400 interests first.
00:41:02.400 Calling peace
00:41:03.280 embarrassing may
00:41:04.800 well play in his
00:41:06.080 elite cocktail parties
00:41:07.540 that John Bolton
00:41:08.380 attends, but it is
00:41:10.500 wildly out of step
00:41:11.740 with the American
00:41:12.920 people who are
00:41:13.720 tired of endless
00:41:14.880 war and applaud
00:41:16.240 this president's role
00:41:17.460 as peacemaker.

00:42:06.840 story.
00:42:07.400 The one question, Bob,
00:42:08.760 everyone's asking is,
00:42:10.740 are we in an artificial
00:42:11.720 intelligence bubble?
00:42:13.280 You've been through
00:42:13.980 boom and busts.

00:42:19.100 matters to your money.
00:42:20.620 It does feel very
00:42:21.760 similar to what we
00:42:22.900 experienced in the
00:42:23.680 90s.
00:42:24.100 Where are we, though?
00:42:24.800 Are we in 1995,
00:42:26.200 1997, 1999?
