00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone
00:00:30.000 Well, one place that the United States fell very far behind under Joe Biden and before him, Barack Obama, was in rare earth minerals.
00:00:41.500 Now, rare earth minerals are, of course, mined around the world. There's two kinds. There's soft, rare earth minerals. Those are required to make things like cell phones or toasters or other personal electronic devices.
00:00:58.300 And then there are hard rare earth minerals. We need them to make airplanes, fighter jets, tanks and so on.
00:01:06.620 The Communist Chinese had had very, very aggressively gotten control of most about 80 percent of the world's rare earth minerals in South America, Central America, Asia, even parts of Eastern Europe. 0.88
00:01:25.800 Donald Trump has recognized this great danger and he's put together a rare earth minerals working group within his administration just this past week.
00:01:36.480 On the fourth, the United States convened a ministerial level summit of critical mineral producing companies, including a number of prominent African countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and Guinea among them.
00:01:52.320 That meeting actually reflects Washington's growing determination to secure access to resources that have really become indispensable to any modern economy necessary for advanced manufacturing and high technology industries.
00:02:08.480 This diplomatic move by Trump illustrates, I think, a broader calibration of both U.S. policy of engagement with Africa, increasingly shaped by resource security, industrial policy and geostrategic competition, particularly, of course, with China.
00:02:27.460 Critical minerals, however, are at the core of President Trump's U.S. strategic planning.
00:02:33.640 Following recent diplomatic initiatives in the Middle East, Washington now seems to be moving more decisively on the issue of critical rare earth minerals, a dominion where global power balances are very rapidly, thank God, shifting.
00:02:48.340 The Trump administration has made it clear that restoring U.S. centrality to strategic supply chains is a priority, not just for economic competitiveness, but also for the national security and technological sovereignty.
00:03:03.780 Critical minerals, things like cobalt, things like cobalt, lithium, rare earth elements like bauxite and graphite, minerals like potash, these are all essential for semiconductors and advanced electronics, electric vehicles, battery storage, renewable energy infrastructure.
00:03:23.020 And then there's the hard rare earth minerals needed for aerospace and defense systems.
00:03:28.480 Africa, interestingly, is home to some of the world's largest reserves of these resources, occupies a pivotal position in this strategic equation.
00:03:39.120 So Washington's message really is security, technology and energy resilience.
00:03:44.180 The U.S. Department of State under Marco Rubio announced this meeting on the 4th via its official communication channels,
00:03:53.100 indicating that Secretary Ruby would host partners from around the world for discussions focused on critical rare earth minerals.
00:04:02.240 According to a statement put out, strengthening critical mineral supply chains with international partners is now essential for U.S. economic and national security for technological leadership in a, well, a resilient energy future.
00:04:16.820 This framing underscores the extent now to which mineral policy has become intertwined with defense planning, industrial competitiveness, and energy transition strategies.
00:04:30.160 The inclusion of these African producers confirms that Washington views the continent not merely as a source of raw materials,
00:04:38.160 but now as a strategic arena in the restructuring of all of these global supply networks.
00:04:45.320 Africa is playing a central role and has strategic leverage.
00:04:50.220 The participants, I read there's a list of 14, but specifically the Dominican Republic of Congo, where President Trump recently ended a war, a long, bloody war with Rwanda, Guinea, and Kenya, among them, particularly significant.
00:05:07.020 The DRC remains, that's the Congo, remains the world's leading producer of cobalt, Guinea, holds vast bauxite reserves, critical for aluminum production, and Kenya is positioning itself within regional value chains linked to energy transition minerals.
00:05:26.260 So this is a big move for the Trump administration.
00:05:31.260 It also shows why it's nice to have a president who sees the big picture and a president who looks ahead.
00:05:38.260 It's always baffled me which president thought it was a good idea to have all of our most important pharmaceutical drugs, things like amoxicillin, for example, made in China.
00:05:56.740 That seems to me like bad public policy.
00:06:01.320 President Trump has moved very aggressively to build the national stockpiles of some of these really crucial pharmaceutical drugs.
00:06:09.580 Once again, it's nice to have a president, well, who thinks about the big picture and looks ahead.
00:06:16.000 A president who puts America first, not profit first.
00:06:19.940 In the meantime, Ryan Routh, he was the mentally deranged leftist convicted of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf club in West Palm Beach during the 2024 campaign.
00:06:33.700 He's been sentenced to life in prison, plus an additional 84 months.
00:06:37.880 This verdict sends a strong message that political violence will not be tolerated in the United States.
00:06:59.820 Routh was found guilty of attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, multiple firearms violations and assaulting a federal officer.
00:07:09.920 Jurors deliberated for just two and a half hours before reaching their decision, a reflection of the overwhelming evidence of Routh's guilt that was presented at trial.
00:07:19.340 At the very end, I watched this.
00:07:21.240 It was very disturbing when the verdict was read.
00:07:24.640 Routh attempted to stab himself with the pen unsuccessfully.
00:07:28.900 There's still a lot of questions here that remain, which is Routh, who they tell us was indigent, who allegedly lived in Hawaii, was behind in his rent, was behind in his alimony payments.
00:07:41.440 Yet we saw video of him in a number of European capitals where he was out recruiting mercenaries to fight the Russians in Ukraine.
00:07:51.560 So who was paying for Mr. Routh's travel in this period in which we're told he's Indian?
00:07:58.440 He had a very elaborate website for recruiting mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.
00:08:06.280 Who paid for the construction of that website?
00:08:10.760 These are strange questions.
00:08:12.440 I actually met an evangelical pastor who ran into Routh on Maiden Square in Ukraine when he was there with a prayer group and got into an argument with him.
00:08:25.820 So he smells like a CIA operative to me.
00:08:30.660 I can't prove that, of course.
00:08:32.840 But there's no explanation of how he got to the United States.
00:08:36.100 He allegedly flew to North Carolina.
00:08:38.880 He drove from North Carolina to Florida.
00:08:43.040 How did he obtain a weapon?
00:08:44.560 When arrested, he had a gun where the serial number had been filed off of the barrel.
00:08:51.420 How did he obtain that?
00:08:53.840 These are all questions we still don't know.
00:08:56.400 I still have questions, of course, about what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:09:00.840 But in this case, authorities say that Ralph hid in the shrubbery near Trump International Golf Club in Florida back in September 15th, it was, of 2024,
00:09:11.180 aiming a rifle towards the course while Trump played nearby.
00:09:14.500 Ralph later claimed incredulously that he was only guilty of caring too much, arguing that possessing a weapon did not improve his intent to kill.
00:09:25.260 He waited, actually, in the shrubbery for hours for Donald Trump to play through.
00:09:30.600 These arguments didn't carry much weight with the jury, evidently.
00:09:33.860 Even more chilling were letters that Ralph wrote to the judge questioning why he wasn't eligible for the death penalty and suggested that he be traded to hostile regimes like China, Iran, or North Korea.
00:09:47.680 Even though the killer was deranged, or he was perhaps acting deranged, it was clear that Ralph knew exactly what he was attempting to do.
00:09:56.380 There are many thousands of these leftist sleeper cells waiting to be activated, unfortunately, throughout our country after being subjected to two years of both dehumanizing propaganda about President Trump and his supporters.
00:10:10.700 And, of course, the open borders policy of Joe Biden, which left 30,000 people into the country, at least 30,000, according to people I respect.
00:10:20.820 We know that 217 of them are identified as terrorists.
00:10:26.740 I venture that the number of known terrorists is far higher, or perhaps I should say the number of unknown terrorists.
00:10:36.340 Media propagandists ought to be considered accomplices in Ralph's plot to assassinate the president because they're the ones who sought to destroy Trump,
00:10:46.880 calling him a dictator, calling him a dictator, comparing him to Hitler.
00:10:51.460 This is one of Stone's most important rules.
00:10:53.620 If you're in a political debate and your opponent invokes the name of Adolf Hitler, that almost always means they're losing the debate.
00:11:02.980 Those who are the authoritarians, those who wanted to keep Trump off the ballot,
00:11:07.460 Those who wanted to censor anyone in the country who questioned the 2020 election or who questioned the safety and the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccination or questioned whether Hunter Biden's laptop was authentic or whether it was Russian disinformation.
00:11:28.140 The people who want to censor you, the people who want to censor you, they are the authoritarians.
00:11:34.140 The people who don't want your candidate to appear on the ballot, they are the ones who are the authoritarians.
00:11:41.680 This is a great technique of the left.
00:11:45.160 There's a book called Alinsky's Rules.
00:11:47.840 It was written by a famous communist agitator named Saul Alinsky.
00:11:52.300 Alinsky said that you should always blame your opponents, or in this case, your enemies, with doing exactly what you yourself are doing.
00:12:04.140 There's no greater example of this than when we try to examine whether those who are responsible for the Russian collusion hoax,
00:12:13.340 There's two phony impeachments, the theft of the 2020 election, which I'm convinced the proof of which we're going to see publicly quite soon.
00:12:23.060 The evidence of it is overwhelming.
00:12:26.040 Then through the January 6th, Fed's surrection, of which essentially Nancy Pelosi has confessed that the whole thing is a setup on video.
00:12:40.220 You can see it for yourself.
00:12:41.640 And then, of course, the extra-constitutional Arctic Frost investigation, in which Jack Smith tried to make questioning the outcome of an election a federal crime,
00:12:55.620 tried to make the formation of alternative elector slates in the states where there are legal disputes about the outcome of the presidential election a crime.
00:13:05.060 It isn't.
00:13:07.060 And spied on President Trump, Republican members of the Senate and the House, and a number of his prominent supporters.
00:13:16.280 Having seen their target list, I can tell you that I'm among those that was on it.
00:13:22.060 So the real question here is, will these people be brought to justice?
00:13:27.540 There seems to be a lot of tumult at the U.S. Department of Justice, but the question is really simple.
00:13:34.300 Because I believe this is a continuing seditious conspiracy that began in 2016 in the Oval Office of Barack Obama,
00:13:42.700 but goes all the way to the raid in Mar-a-Lago, there is no statute of limitations.
00:13:49.500 So there is no rush other than the rush, because justice delayed is justice denied.
00:13:58.500 I'm Roger Stone, and I'll be right back.
00:14:01.460 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:14:53.400 to do what he has now done planning to install a statue of legendary explorer christopher columbus
00:15:00.200 on the white house grounds this is a powerful symbol of restoring national pride after years
00:15:06.100 of left-wing attempts to destroy it as one of the board members of the italian american civil rights
00:15:13.100 league we have fought efforts to destroy the legacy of christopher columbus and our italian american
00:15:21.120 heritage across the country according to sources familiar with the plan the new statue of columbus
00:15:27.840 will be placed on the south side of the white house near the ellipse the sculpture is essentially
00:15:33.340 a reconstruction of a monument originally unveiled by one of my heroes president ronald reagan who i
00:15:39.440 worked for in three presidential campaigns that was torn down and dumped into baltimore harbor by rioters
00:15:46.320 during the violent black lives matter unrest of 2020 when leftist mobs attacked symbols of america's
00:15:53.180 pioneering past in their vain attempt to upright white supremacy they insult us all the damaged pieces of the
00:16:00.800 statue were later recovered by italian american community leaders businessmen and local officials now
00:16:07.540 with the help of sculptors charitable donations and a federal grant the statue has been painstakingly
00:16:14.640 rebuilt is expected to be transferred from a maryland warehouse to the trump white house in the coming
00:16:20.840 weeks while the white house has not formally confirmed the timeline spokesman davis engel made the
00:16:27.980 admission stance clear in this white house christopher columbus is a hero and he will continue to be honored
00:16:35.220 as such by the president of the united states trump has long defended columbus against marxist historical
00:16:42.440 revisionism putting an end to the abomination that it was indigenous peoples day no it's october 10th it's 0.85
00:16:51.860 columbus day nobody's arguing that columbus was a saint by the way but we all owe him an immense debt of
00:16:58.840 gratitude for his role in bringing civilization civilization to a savage continent the italian american 0.99
00:17:06.480 civil rights league was a very up front in our efforts to persuade the president to revive the
00:17:13.240 statue if you're interested you can go to a let's see i a r c l dot org i a c r l dot org that's the italian

00:18:19.100 launching our south florida chapter i believe that's on march 11th you're going to want to check it out so
00:18:25.060 once again i a c r l dot org the italian american civil rights league we were very active in in supporting
00:18:35.140 the president's efforts to bring this statue of columbus back to the white house grounds
00:18:39.800 i'm roger stone you're listening to the stone zone don't go away because we'll be right back
00:18:45.120 with more politics
00:18:46.560 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell but he's
00:19:06.260 kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but people love him
00:19:12.120 and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone you are jumping back into the
00:19:20.700 stone zone and i'm your host roger stone while all eyes continue to be on iran where mass protests
00:19:28.700 continue there's a lot of disparity uh between the reports of the regime who claim that only about
00:19:37.180 12 000 people have been killed uh when my own sources in the resistance tell me that number
00:19:43.280 of brutal murders uh by the regime of protesters is closer to 36 000 trump administration is drawing a
00:19:52.420 firm line with iran refusing to cave to last minute demands that could weaken upcoming nuclear negotiations
00:19:59.740 and embolden the world's leading sponsor of islamic terrorism uh the regime is teetering because the
00:20:07.660 quality of life has collapsed uh in iran uh but this is an extraordinarily brutal regime this is a regime
00:20:15.920 where mass public executions uh of uh opponents of the regime are a regularly scheduled thing so to have
00:20:25.920 the courage as thousands tens of thousands of iranians do to publicly demonstrate against the
00:20:33.260 government takes an enormous amount of courage according to u.s officials iran attempted to change
00:20:39.820 the location and the format of scheduled talks but the white house made it clear it will not accept
00:20:45.860 conditions that undermine serious diplomacy while the administration has agreed to shift the venue from
00:20:52.660 istanbul to oman officials insist the focus must remain on achieving a strong enforceable agreement
00:21:00.420 not one dictated by the iranian regime there is no way that iran can be allowed to have nuclear weapons
00:21:08.680 they argue that they want to develop nuclear energy for the purposes of producing electricity
00:21:14.980 but there has to be on-site inspections that prove that's true a senior u.s official reportedly said
00:21:21.220 we'd like to reach a deal quickly or people will look at other options and at the heart of this
00:21:27.300 dispute is the scope you see the trump administration wants negotiations to address not only iran's
00:21:33.520 nuclear ambitions but also its ballistic missile program and support for terrorist proxy groups across
00:21:40.580 the middle east iran meanwhile is attempting to limit these discussions strictly to nuclear issues a
00:21:47.880 position that critics argue could allow the iranians to continue threatening israel and destabilizing the
00:21:54.940 region president trump reinforced the stakes about a week ago noting that powerful u.s naval assets are
00:22:01.960 already moving into position president trump said if we can work something out that would be great but if we
00:22:07.680 can't well probably bad things could happen with the arrest of nicolas maduro and the previous
00:22:15.080 surgical strikes on the iranian nuclear weapons development programs i think people now realize
00:22:23.560 that donald trump is a man who does what he says and says what he will do we would not be wise to test
00:22:30.540 president trump i've known him for 50 years president trump is no doubt a man of peace he's proven that
00:22:35.960 who would rather make a deal than start a war but when tested president trump is not afraid to use
00:22:43.060 military force to achieve key strategic objectives what i like about it is that he does it in a limited
00:22:49.820 and controlled way so he's not a neocon no boots on the ground no long-term financial commitments no
00:22:58.600 american casualties you saw this uh in his previous strikes in iran where we got in we got out we achieved
00:23:05.900 our goal not a single uh a casualty uh from that military operation so um all eyes on iran this past
00:23:15.000 weekend i had senator bob torricelli former senator from new jersey former member of the senate foreign
00:23:22.180 relations committee and widely recognized as an expert on middle eastern issues uh he believes that the
00:23:29.380 regime will fall on its own uh they cannot sustain it uh he doesn't rule out the possibility i think this
00:23:37.000 is true that trump could uh strike for example the iranian republican guard headquarters and other
00:23:44.760 strategic sites in a very limited way to try to uh move the collapse of the regime along now the other
00:23:53.780 thing i learned is that there seemed to be a lot of iranians or a lot of people i should say who believe
00:24:01.820 that the uh iran should go from the current theocracy uh back to a monarchy in other words they favor the
00:24:09.460 restoration uh of the shah and the shah's family the house of palavi they argue that the shah's son
00:24:19.200 should be the new head of state i don't think there is huge popular support in iran either for the
00:24:28.300 mullahs who currently run the brutal regime nor for the shah and his compatriots the shah was a 0.91
00:24:37.660 an ally of the united states a trusted ally of the united states therefore i agree with former
00:24:43.380 president nixon who in 1978 criticized jimmy carter bitterly for turning on the shah which is what
00:24:52.480 allowed the mullers to take control and immediately humiliate the united states by uh grabbing 154 1.00
00:25:00.380 american hostages on the other hand life under the shah while it was more cosmopolitan and it was more
00:25:08.020 educated in civil society um he was still brutal in the question of political repression and there was
00:25:15.760 nothing in the country that resembled a democracy now when this show is over i will get thousands of
00:25:22.460 text messages and emails from people who tell me that i'm wrong or that i'm uh that i don't understand
00:25:29.500 the issues i think most of those are bots to be honest with you i've seen the polling there is uh
00:25:36.080 no widespread support for return to a monarchy if anything iran needs to move to democratic elections
00:25:44.780 and it needs to do so as soon as feasible after the collapse of the current regime meanwhile the u.s
00:25:53.080 house of representatives narrowly passed a 1.2 trillion dollar funding bill today officially ending a
00:26:00.700 four-day partial government shutdown and sending legislation to president trump who very quickly
00:26:06.480 signed it into law the measure cleared the house in a 217 to 214 vote amid deep partisan divisions
00:26:16.320 funding most federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year while granting only a short-term
00:26:22.220 extension for the department of homeland security see democrats are trying to keep the busted budget
00:26:28.400 hostage hostage hostage and trying to end the deportation of dangerous illegal criminals
00:26:33.960 uh through this legislative maneuver at the center of the standoff as i say immigration enforcement
00:26:40.780 democrats resist full department of homeland security funding following two fatal shootings of violent
00:26:48.080 far-left extremists in the streets of minneapolis the republican leadership warned against detaching
00:26:54.100 policy conditions that could safe could weaken agent safety and operational effectiveness in the end
00:27:01.420 lawmakers choose to keep the government open rather than risking prolonged disruption we saw that
00:27:06.620 before but the temporary department of homeland security extension is set to only last about two weeks
00:27:13.100 virtually guarantees another high-stakes battle for funding just days from now when it comes to border
00:27:19.680 security democrats prove continuously they're willing to play russian roulette with our nation's homeland
00:27:26.480 security this shutdown may be over but the larger fight well that's far from settled and it will
00:27:32.860 continue to be a problem until the midterms the democrats have dug in their heels as the party aligned
00:27:38.880 against law enforcement border patrol and the rule of law of course the narrative you hear out of
00:27:45.400 minneapolis that people of color uh or u.s citizens are just arbitrarily being snatched by ice uh and being
00:27:54.260 arrested to be detained is a false narrative more than 70 percent of those arrested by ice so far for the
00:28:01.880 purposes of deportation uh are criminal uh aliens they either have a criminal record in their country of
00:28:10.000 origin or they have a criminal record here or they're awaiting trial here in the united states if the
00:28:17.500 american people reject uh the uh democrats at the ballot box next november that will be an effective
00:28:24.040 public endorsement of president trump's robust enforcement measures truth of america really is on the line the
00:28:30.680 upcoming elections uh we better put as many america first champions on the ballot as humanly possible
00:28:36.400 to ensure uh that we have common sense continues to dominate our government uh but in the
00:28:43.960 meantime uh some in my party have already given up uh those people don't understand that in american
00:28:50.620 politics today in this age of mass communications particularly with the internet uh that a week is a lifetime
00:28:59.460 uh the electorate remains extraordinarily volatile so the 2026 elections are neither lost nor won it is far
00:29:09.080 too early to say what will happen we haven't even played out the question of redistricting where
00:29:15.100 states like florida and texas are uh are scheduled to get additional house seats uh based on the census
00:29:22.860 the democrats have played this game out in other words they've already maxed out on their gerrymandering
00:29:28.800 in large states like illinois and california there is no place else really for them to get seats
00:29:35.220 meanwhile to my surprise democrat party in new york seems to be unifying uh as far left socialist jihadi
00:29:43.900 new york city mayor zoran memdami surprised me by formally endorsing the most unpopular governor
00:29:50.780 perhaps in the entire united states new york governor kathy hoechul a hoechul back memdami during
00:29:58.720 his mayoral run months ago but during that election the mayor would not publicly commit to supporting
00:30:05.680 hoechul's re-election he waited until now to return that favor uh now if you understood how new york
00:30:13.600 city and state government is structured memdami needs a lot of things from hoechul including and most
00:30:20.880 particularly money speaking to the left-wing publication of the nation which is a opinion
00:30:28.600 journal memdami framed the endorsement as a matter of trust and collaboration arguing that leaders must
00:30:35.560 quote deliver for the people we serve the partnership comes as hoechul who once billed herself as a 0.99
00:30:43.200 relative moderate has increasingly adopted policy positions more aligned with memdami's leftist
00:30:49.660 platform among them is the expansion of free child care in new york city a costly proposal likely to
00:30:56.660 fall on the backs of already overburned taxpayers in fact the highest paying taxpayers in the country
00:31:04.080 new york state namdami praised the democrat party is a big tent committed to structural change which of
00:31:11.840 course is code for higher spending heavier regulation and expanded government control
00:31:17.440 over our everyday lives memdami's never really been shy about his marxist dog whistle he claims during
00:31:24.540 interviews that new yorkers deserve leaders who believe in transformation ultimately declaring that
00:31:30.540 hoechul has earned his endorsement i've been in american politics for 50 years i've been active in a
00:31:37.020 number of new york state gubernatorial campaigns i've never seen a disapproval rating for any new
00:31:43.720 york governor republican or democrat as high as that for kathy hoechul kathy hoechul is only governor 0.83
00:31:51.760 because of andrew cuomo people forget that andrew cuomo selected kathy hoechul who was a previously i
00:32:00.100 believe an erie county clerk and then a member of congress to be lieutenant governor never dreaming
00:32:07.000 uh that the left of his own party would move to remove andrew cuomo because of vague uh of me too
00:32:16.000 claims against him uh and then someone who in at who has who is as inept as hoechul would end up as 0.85
00:32:24.560 governor mamdami's pushed for higher taxes on millionaires during his campaign a policy hoechul then 0.70
00:32:31.120 publicly opposed initially withheld his endorsement last fall fueling explanation that the two would
00:32:38.720 move further apart but now that divide appears to be shrinking as the governor and the mayor
00:32:44.420 coordinate on major policy initiatives this is how the far left co-ops the weak moderates in the
00:32:50.460 democrat party politicians like coco or like chuck schumer will do anything to get re-elected even if it
00:32:57.520 means serving as a trojan horse for a socialist extremists to get their hooks into what was
00:33:03.080 formerly our free republic the public should reject mandamiism if new york's mayoral election last year
00:33:10.040 is a bellwether for things to come well then new york city is in deep deep trouble i'm roger stone
00:33:16.460 you're listening to the stone zone on the red apple audio networks whatever you do listen to us online or
00:33:23.080 don't touch that dial if you're on the radio because we'll be right back this is the stone zone
00:33:29.600 with roger stone he likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level roger stone
00:33:37.200 where's roger
00:33:38.040 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest political
00:34:04.260 minds roger stone was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant political
00:34:09.000 analyst now get him a zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone and you're jumping back into
00:34:18.860 the stone zone sometimes uh democrats are so transparent now democrats are calling to ban
00:34:26.400 ice from polling places why would they want to do that congressional democrats are once again taking
00:34:32.720 aim at federal immigration enforcement with senate minority leader chuck schumer and house minority
00:34:38.820 leader hakeem jeffries unveiling a sweeping list of demands designed to rein in immigration and
00:34:46.220 customs enforcement or ice just days before a critical department of homeland security funding
00:34:51.920 deadline schumer accused federal agents of terrorizing communities and causing chaos in american cities
00:34:58.780 as such schumer is putting forward so-called reforms which would handcuff the very officers
00:35:04.620 tasked with enforcing u.s immigration law among the most ridiculous provisions but the one that is so
00:35:10.420 transparent is to prohibit enforcement operations near so-called sensitive locations including schools
00:35:17.360 churches but most notably polling places now why would the democrats not want ice agents anywhere near a
00:35:26.240 polling place could it be because they intend to vote illegal immigrants who don't actually have the
00:35:33.820 legal right to vote there is no question i saw a recent analysis in california tens of thousands of
00:35:40.300 illegals voted in the 2024 election that inclusion of course of polling places sparked immediate backlash from
00:35:49.140 republicans who questioned why illegals would be anywhere near voting places to begin with senator katie
00:35:54.680 brit responded to schumer's insulting proposal saying democrats were effectively admitting they believe
00:36:01.100 illegal immigrants need to be protected at polling places while calling for full funding of the
00:36:06.800 department of homeland security and passage of the save act now the save act is crucial all it does is
00:36:13.680 require proof of citizens for voting why would anyone be opposed to that only u.s citizens should vote
00:36:21.080 the democrat proposal also calls for banning agents from entering private property without a judicial warrant
00:36:27.920 restricting arrests mandating body cameras limiting the use of masks and imposing new identification requirements
00:36:35.320 additional measures would allow for states to sue the department of homeland security require local approval
00:36:41.620 for large-scale operations and regulate officers uniforms to eliminate what democrats labeled
00:36:48.000 paramilitary paramilitary policing in other words they want to cripple the effort to enforce
00:36:54.180 our current immigration laws this is all being done by design and it's a de facto ban on ice
00:37:01.380 republicans need to never acquiesce to the democrats who will never argue in good faith
00:37:06.880 or operate and lead with antifa and the far left to continue to wage war on our nation
00:37:13.320 once again i stress to you that more than 70 percent of those who have been arrested
00:37:18.820 have been detained for deportation have criminal records either in their country of origin or here
00:37:25.960 in the united states but you wouldn't think that by watching cnn or msnbc in the end because they've
00:37:35.020 exposed these two signal chats and very i would say high tech paramilitary operations to interfere with ice
00:37:47.500 one of them involving the lieutenant governor of minnesota herself to me that is active insurrection
00:37:54.400 if you are on a chat group which targets ice agents identifies them through their license plates
00:38:00.840 and sends groups of thugs to the location where they are in the process of conducting a perfectly
00:38:06.280 legal arrest that is in itself uh insurrection by design and therefore my question is how long
00:38:14.680 before the fbi arrests the lieutenant governor of minnesota and arrests the chief political operator and
00:38:22.600 manager of tim waltz's campaigns who appear to be the individuals running these two illegal chat
00:38:29.080 operations via signal this is a full-fledged paramilitary well-oiled well-financed well-organized
00:38:39.440 illegal insurrection but at the end of the day president donald trump is the man with the nuclear option
00:38:45.540 because he can always if necessary uh he can execute the insurrection act of 1807 now instead of dealing
00:38:54.240 dealing with ice agents or dealing with border patrol agents the people on the ground in minnesota will
00:39:00.440 be dealing with the same u.s military that very effectively removed uh nicolas maduro from venezuela
00:39:09.420 think how that will go thanks for joining us today on the stone zone until tomorrow god bless you and godspeed
