00:00:00.260 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:07.540 You are diving into the Stone Zone.
00:00:11.620 Well, Richard Nixon is back in the news.
00:00:15.220 After Nixon was pardoned by Gerald Ford in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal,
00:00:22.100 a scandal about which we know far more today than we knew then,
00:00:26.300 he had to sit for many hours before a federal grand jury and answer questions on numerous matters.
00:00:33.440 And it was there that it was finally uncovered that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had spied actively on the Nixon White House,
00:00:43.400 that those in the military and their allies in the intelligence agencies, no doubt,
00:00:48.940 who opposed ending the war in Vietnam, who opposed a strategic arms limitation agreement with the Soviets,
00:00:56.300 as Nixon would achieve, certainly opposed any outreach to China,
00:01:02.020 were actively spying on the Nixon White House.
00:01:06.200 A naval yeoman named Radford was actively collecting data from file draws, burn bags, desktops, briefcases,
00:01:16.680 any place he could find it.
00:01:19.280 He was photographing and copying all of the stuff.
00:01:23.360 It would go directly to Admiral Wielander, who would send it on then to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs himself,
00:01:32.560 Admiral Thomas Moorer.
00:01:35.700 And Nixon became aware of this.
00:01:39.120 His first instinct was that Moore should be charged with treason.
00:01:46.340 But ultimately, he decided that it would destroy any public confidence in our military,
00:01:52.960 and he never made this public.
00:01:55.400 Now, we already know that CIA declassified documents released roughly a little longer now than two years ago,
00:02:05.500 first highlighted by James Rosen, I think then writing for a real neo, real, real, I'm not sure.
00:02:14.580 I think it was real near politics anyway.
00:02:17.900 He wrote extensively about the fact that the CIA definitely, based on these declassified documents,
00:02:24.720 knew about the break-in at the Watergate Hotel in advance.
00:02:29.220 Indeed, four of the eight Watergate burglars were actively still on the payroll of the CIA
00:02:38.580 and were still reporting to a handler.
00:02:43.440 Eugenio Martinez, now in his late 90s, was among the four still working for the agency.
00:02:52.000 I interviewed him for my book, Nixon's Secrets, and he confirmed his longtime relationship with the agency,
00:03:01.920 as well as the story in which he swallowed the key to the desk draw where they had been instructed,
00:03:11.480 the burglars had been instructed, to look for a book of good-looking prostitutes 1.00
00:03:16.640 from a local call-girl service that the DNC used for out-of-town dignitaries.
00:03:23.900 By the way, the Republican National Committee and the State Department evidently used the same agency.
00:03:30.260 So there's a lot more to Watergate than I think people know.
00:03:35.460 But Howard Baker, who was the Republican ranking member on the Senate Water Committee,
00:03:41.820 was well aware of the CIA's involvement in Watergate,
00:03:47.040 but he was not allowed by the committee chairman, Sam Irvin, to even put that in the minority report.
00:03:53.420 Senator Fred Thompson then was counsel to the committee, counsel to Senator Howard Baker,
00:03:59.100 also writes that they knew in advance about the CIA operation to take Nixon down.
00:04:06.360 So now it is confirmed again.
00:04:08.380 Now, the media is treating this slightly differently.
00:04:11.540 It is what they cite as proof of the existence of a deep state.
00:04:20.820 Dwight Eisenhower warned us about this.
00:04:23.100 So now two presidents warned us about it.
00:04:25.460 Nixon now in his deposition before the grand jury,
00:04:29.600 and Eisenhower in his departing marks as president.
00:04:33.220 Eisenhower, by the way, was much underrated as a president
00:04:38.560 because his style was kind of so drab and middle class,
00:04:42.780 and because Ike was not a very flashy speaker, although he was brilliant.
00:04:48.560 He pretended to be non-political, but there's nothing more political than the army,
00:04:53.600 where he vaulted many ranks ahead of other men to lead the allied forces in World War II.
00:05:01.500 And we had unprecedented prosperity and peace under Eisenhower.
00:05:06.560 He ended the conflict in Korea, which was kind of a foretaste of what would happen in Vietnam.
00:05:13.940 And we had record prosperity under Eisenhower.
00:05:17.060 But he was so low-key and drab, he doesn't get the credit he deserves. 0.74
00:05:22.320 On the foreign policy stage, however, is really where Eisenhower shines,
00:05:27.520 because the concept of peace through strength,
00:05:31.240 rather than going around the world looking for endless foreign wars to stumble into,
00:05:36.500 where our inherent national interests are just not clear,
00:05:39.960 is the policy of Eisenhower.
00:05:42.100 Also, the policy of the foreign policy of Ronald Reagan,
00:05:45.660 also happens to be the foreign policy of Donald Trump.
00:05:49.420 I was asked today on Newsmax by Rob Schmidt whether I thought that the same people
00:05:59.680 who killed John F. Kennedy took out Richard Nixon in a silent coup.
00:06:05.960 And the answer is absolutely yes.
00:06:09.340 And their motive is very clear.
00:06:12.020 Nixon had won a record landslide.
00:06:14.400 He had already said, as his diary reflects, as his memoirs reflect,
00:06:22.440 and as the diaries of H.R. Haldeman reflect,
00:06:26.280 to cut back the power of the deep state.
00:06:29.000 He wanted to restructure the national security apparatus,
00:06:33.480 take hands out of the professional warriors,
00:06:37.900 none of whom, he points out, were elected.
00:06:40.240 And therefore, he was a great threat to the intelligence agencies.
00:06:46.280 They knew that they couldn't get away with killing him,
00:06:48.560 although there was actually one assassination attempt on him in Miami,
00:06:53.340 which had been documented but was not widely planted.
00:06:59.400 So there's a little question here that you see history repeating itself.
00:07:05.120 The attempts by the deep state to set up Donald Trump,
00:07:10.020 based solely on fabricated evidence of Russian collusion
00:07:14.920 from a former British intelligence officer named Steele,
00:07:21.720 working for a company called, I guess it's GPS Fusion.
00:07:26.120 And they come up with this concocted tale about Trump's private time
00:07:31.980 when he's a private businessman in Russia,
00:07:35.680 claiming that he has, in some naughty way,
00:07:38.680 been compromised with these French prostitutes. 0.94
00:07:42.320 It's complete fabrication.
00:07:45.220 I think it was first commissioned and sold to Paul Singer,
00:07:50.080 who then thought about using it for Marco Rubio,
00:07:52.620 and there's no evidence that Rubio himself knew anything about this.
00:07:56.820 And then I think they resold the Steele dossier to Hillary.
00:08:01.660 We know they did because Hillary disguised the payments for it as legal fees. 1.00
00:08:06.200 She got caught in her FEC reports.
00:08:09.240 They didn't try to send her to prison, but they fined her heavily.
00:08:14.520 So just as I think it is a straight line,
00:08:18.640 meaning those who killed John F. Kennedy, why?
00:08:22.280 Multiple reasons, largely because he did not want to give nukes to Israel.
00:08:29.680 He did not want to go deeper into Vietnam.
00:08:33.400 He wanted to begin to withdraw.
00:08:34.980 He did not want to go to war over Cuba.
00:08:37.820 For all those reasons, I think he was taken out.
00:08:42.640 Nixon was taken out in a silent coup, as we have discussed,
00:08:47.420 and we learned more about today, thanks to the great reporting of James Rosen.
00:08:53.360 And then we go almost immediately to the putting Gerald Ford,
00:09:01.340 who was unelected, into office.
00:09:04.200 Ford had had a very substantial piece in the Kennedy assassination.
00:09:09.840 You see, the so-called three single bullet theory is nonsense.
00:09:16.780 And the problem was that there were several members of the Warren Commission
00:09:22.120 who were having trouble coming to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald,
00:09:26.780 firing three shots, had hit JFK all from the back.
00:09:30.400 And it couldn't swallow the theory, the single bullet theory of Arlen Specter,
00:09:37.680 the counsel to the Warren Commission, later senator from Pennsylvania,
00:09:42.240 that one bullet had hit both John F. Kennedy and Governor Connolly.
00:09:47.340 It was Gerald Ford, who's a member of the Warren Commission,
00:09:50.780 by virtue of being the House Minority Leader,
00:09:54.160 who, at the request of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover,
00:09:58.820 passed through his deputy, Deke DeLoach,
00:10:02.740 takes a pencil and erases the official autopsy diagram,
00:10:08.000 moving the wound depicted in the upper back of John F. Kennedy
00:10:13.140 to his lower neck.
00:10:15.840 The New York Times has reported this.
00:10:19.820 So this is one of the reasons why I think Ford was selected
00:10:24.080 to be an unelected president after Richard Nixon
00:10:27.900 and precisely why the deep state likes to keep their man on the job.
00:10:34.900 These are shocking new revelations.
00:10:37.280 And as time goes on, I think people will get some,
00:10:40.360 I hope will get a greater appreciation
00:10:42.180 of Richard Nixon's tremendous accomplishments.
00:10:45.100 I mean, this is the man who ended the war in Vietnam
00:10:48.340 ahead of the schedule desired by the Pentagon.
00:10:51.860 This is the man who reached a strategic arms limitation agreement
00:10:54.560 with the Soviets, which saved this country
00:10:57.140 hundreds of billions of dollars in defense spending.
00:11:00.640 It's a bum rap to say, oh, Nixon started us with China.
00:11:05.260 China was dirt poor and broke back then.
00:11:08.120 It wasn't until Bill Clinton, 30 years later,
00:11:10.840 gave the most favored nation trading status,
00:11:13.440 the Chinese would become the dangerous, 1.00
00:11:16.500 militaristic danger that they are to us today.
00:11:21.060 So beyond that, Nixon, of course,
00:11:23.200 desegregated the public schools.
00:11:25.420 About 87% of the schools were still segregated.
00:11:28.100 That was about 7% when Nixon left office.
00:11:31.560 He gave us the war on cancer, the 18-year-old vote.
00:11:35.900 He did away with the military draft.
00:11:38.700 He launched the war on cancer.
00:11:42.940 He unilaterally saved Israel from complete annihilation
00:11:46.920 in the 1973 war when Israel, surprisingly,
00:11:51.580 due to a failure of their intelligence agencies,
00:11:54.420 found themselves with their backs against the sea
00:11:56.700 from a massive onslaught from both Egypt and Syria.
00:12:00.280 It was then that Henry Kissinger urged Nixon as his national security advisor
00:12:05.780 to do nothing because it would provoke the Russians.
00:12:09.120 And Nixon ordered $38 million that a lot of money of lethal aid
00:12:14.180 be airdropped to the Israelis in their position,
00:12:18.420 sending planes with millions more in aid,
00:12:21.240 arguing that he would stand with the largest democracy in the country.
00:12:25.420 Later, when Nixon is heard making vaguely anti-Semitic marks
00:12:29.440 and then this action is examined,
00:12:32.020 Golda Meir says,
00:12:33.680 it is deeds that are important, not words.
00:12:36.980 And she was precisely right.
00:12:38.700 As the Richard Nixon I knew, we called him the old man.
00:12:41.900 He really couldn't hold his alcohol very well
00:12:44.360 after a couple of cocktails, what he liked to call silver bullets,
00:12:48.440 in his case, an ice-cold gin martini.
00:12:51.440 He knew a lot about American history of being the only man
00:12:55.200 other than Franklin Roosevelt on the ticket of a national party six times.

00:14:34.640 Elon Musk keeps tweeting, or I should say X-ing on X, which he's turned into the most important free speech vehicle in the world.
00:14:56.060 It was heroic to not only pay a huge price to take control of Twitter, but then have the courage to open the records to demonstrate how government had worked with Twitter executives to cancel or censor numerous people for having the wrong ideas.
00:15:14.780 So, to me, Elon Musk is one of the great heroes when it comes to free speech.
00:15:20.940 He really breaks down the iron wall that is set up against Donald Trump after his election.
00:15:30.340 And he's been a champion of free speech, but he keeps tweeting, Steve Bannon is going to jail.
00:15:38.100 Steve Bannon is going to jail.
00:15:40.620 Bannon, of course, is reeling from the release of photographs and emails that show conclusively that he was close with the convicted sex criminal and charged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
00:15:57.320 He was coaching him on interviews and on rehabilitating his image.
00:16:04.400 They shot some allegedly 15 hours of film together.
00:16:09.620 Bannon says it was for a documentary.
00:16:11.660 It's never been released.
00:16:12.920 I think it is more likely practice sessions for a 60 minutes invitation that had been extended to Epstein, but that Epstein obviously had to cancel because it was two days after he was released.
00:16:27.320 The emails even show that Bannon was supposed to go to Epstein's Island to continue filming with him two days after Epstein was arrested, although the difference between Epstein's arrest and mine are quite interesting.
00:16:40.780 In my case, 29 heavily armed FBI agents stormed my home at six o'clock in the morning after tipping off CNN, whereas Epstein was arrested in the small private airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, getting off a jet.
00:16:56.440 And by two polite FBI agents who then thought they put one of them, put his jacket over the handcuffs so that nobody would see them as he exited handled quite differently.
00:17:10.960 Bannon, I think, is revealed as very anti Trump and his text messages.
00:17:16.500 So there's a huge difference between the Bannon who one sees on the war room where he pretends to be a Trump loyalist.
00:17:24.180 This is the same Steve Bannon who said that Trump was not a billionaire, that the Trump organization was a criminal enterprise, said that Donald Jr. had colluded with the Russians.
00:17:40.720 This is a guy who denigrated Trump behind his back in these text messages, these email messages with Epstein.
00:17:48.900 He calls Trump stupid.
00:17:50.540 He also says that he, Bannon, is the center of the movement, not Donald J. Trump, which gives you some idea of his inflated ego.
00:18:00.700 But this is a man who pled guilty to embezzling $15 million from the Build the Wall Foundation, was pardoned for it by Trump, recharged for it in New York.
00:18:13.080 And then strangely enough, he pled guilty to being a fraudster and a left wing Democrat judge of Manhattan gave him no jail time.
00:18:22.800 Many people find that very odd.
00:18:25.440 He says he's running for president, but I think his patron post-White House, goes by the name of Miles Guo, may have connections to the CCP, and we're investigating that.
00:18:41.280 Yeah, there is no question whatsoever that Guo, when he was prosecuted under cross-examination, when asked if his money came from the CCP or anything about the paymaster, notorious Michael Gee, he pled the fifth 55 times.
00:18:59.340 So we're on the trail of that money.
00:19:01.580 We'll report it right here in the Stone Zone when we get the update on this hot story.
00:19:07.580 Thanks for joining us.
00:19:08.460 We'll be right back with more politics on the other side.
00:19:12.600 We're here five days a week talking news, history, today's politics.
00:19:19.020 Sometimes we even talk a little food and fashion.
00:19:21.680 So thanks for joining us in the Zone, and we'll be right back.
00:19:29.300 The Stone Zone.
00:19:31.220 Entertaining and informative.
00:19:33.360 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:19:35.280 I don't really know how many times the left, the Democrats really, and their allies and handmaidens in the fake news media can roll out the same exact tactics and playbook and expect us to go for it.
00:19:51.180 I think Nancy Pelosi called it the wrap-up smear.
00:19:56.200 And now they're doing it to Tulsi Gabbard.
00:19:58.920 Previously, they did it to President Donald Trump in the second Ukrainian impeachment.
00:20:05.140 Here's how it works.
00:20:06.180 The twin Vindman brothers, both in the U.S. Army and serving on the national security staff, Alex and Eugene.
00:20:17.580 Eugene is now a congressman.
00:20:19.500 Alex is running for the Senate in Florida.
00:20:22.180 It insists that they have overheard a conversation between Donald Trump, President Donald Trump, and President Zelensky, in which Trump asks questions about the activities of Biden.
00:20:36.560 There would be nothing improper in such a conversation.
00:20:39.100 But they then go to a third man, Eric Ciaramella, who's Ciaramella, pardon me, who at that point was working on the staff of Senator Adam Schiff.
00:20:53.080 And he becomes the whistleblower, meaning he goes to the inspector general and he files a complaint.
00:20:59.520 They immediately now have the complaint sealed.
00:21:03.100 So you don't even get to find out what the accusations are.
00:21:07.220 That's precisely what's happened here in this pathetic attempt to take down Tulsi Gabbard.
00:21:14.340 Basically, what happened here is that one foreign intelligence person, not an American, told another foreign intelligence person that a member of Trump's family spoke to somebody in government somewhere.
00:21:35.640 And that Tulsi Gabbard was allegedly knew this and had done nothing about it.
00:21:42.600 So we don't even know if that first conversation ever happened.
00:21:45.920 Then they go to the whistleblower and the whistleblower and goes and files this complaint against Tulsi Gabbard saying that that doesn't even and we're not even allowed to know.
00:21:57.800 Here's the best part.
00:21:58.760 We're not allowed to know what the subject matter is so sensitive.
00:22:02.960 We're told that it must it must be sealed.
00:22:06.920 That creates the aura of mystery that has everybody wrapped up.
00:22:11.640 It isn't until I paragraph eight that you get to the Wall Street Journal story, which tells you that there was a full investigation and Tulsi Gabbard was completely cleared.
00:22:22.380 So why these attacks on Gabbard?
00:22:26.020 I think there are two obvious reasons.
00:22:28.240 First of all, there has to be unhappiness over the fact that she declassified all of the documents that prove without question, as she put it,
00:22:38.100 that Barack Obama himself was at the head of a seditious conspiracy to stop, to undermine and then to remove Donald Trump from the presidency using the full authority and power of government.
00:22:54.720 That is the greatest dirty trick in American political history.
00:22:58.660 It's the greatest single abuse of power.
00:23:02.440 And these these documents that document that Barack Obama and Joe Biden and National Security Adviser Susan Rice and National Director of Intelligence James Clapper,
00:23:17.900 certainly FBI Director James Comey, the ringleader of it all, John O.
00:23:24.640 Brennan, who manages to not only plant the canard that starts the Russian collusion oaks, the Steele dossier, into the presidential's daily intelligence brief as a way to moving the rationale for the appointment of special counsel and to begin spying through the issues of FISA warrants through.
00:23:48.520 He manages also to get very rich off his own policies.
00:23:51.800 It is really quite a story.
00:23:56.520 In any event, we would we would not know about any of these things if it weren't for President Trump's determination and the courage of Tulsi Gabbard, the current CIA Director, John Radcliffe.
00:24:06.600 Well, I think he is a good man.
00:24:08.260 I think he could have when he was a national security adviser for a brief period of time at the end of the Trump presidency.
00:24:14.220 I think he could have declassified these documents.
00:24:18.920 It was Radcliffe who first called Brennan out as the architect of the so-called Steele dossier insertion.
00:24:27.880 But his his report, which he made public, was mild in the sense that it criticized the tradecraft as opposed to saying the truth, which is the whole thing was completely made up.
00:24:42.840 Once again, the allegation that Donald Trump in a in a Paris hotel suite with a number of beautiful French prostitutes, watches them urinate on a bed previously occupied by Barack and Michelle Obama.
00:24:58.760 Anybody who knows Trump knows that he's a germ freak.
00:25:01.840 Anybody who knows him would know this is most definitely not his scene.
00:25:07.500 But and Brennan knows that this is a contrivance.
00:25:11.880 Brennan knows that who paid for it originally.
00:25:14.260 That would be Paul Singer who paid for it later.
00:25:18.520 That would be Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:25:20.960 And that it is that is a fraud.
00:25:23.260 Andrew Weissman, who is the de facto head of the Mueller investigation, the guy who the guy who tipped off CNN about my arrest.
00:25:31.840 The guy who wrote my indictment, according to the meta data tags on that masterpiece of disinformation.
00:25:40.500 He knew that the Steele dossier was a fraud all the way back to his days as the general counsel to the FBI.
00:25:49.520 So you have that.
00:25:51.680 Of course, the other leg in the stool is the is the entirely false claim that the Democrat National Committee was was the.
00:26:01.840 target of on like online hacks by Russian intelligence or anyone for that matter.
00:26:08.580 It was interesting that in my case, which was based on the premise that the DNC had been hacked and that WikiLeaks that I was somehow involved in getting WikiLeaks the data, which I was not.
00:26:20.240 And no evidence to that was ever put forward by the government.
00:26:24.600 But it is interesting that that the FBI admitted at my trial.
00:26:32.060 They never inspected the computer servers at the DNC.
00:26:37.080 Their report, which was judged withheld from us at trial, allegedly proved a Russian connection.
00:26:42.900 But the head of the company testifying under oath before the House Intelligence Committee finally admitted he had no proof whatsoever.
00:26:52.800 I wanted to prove the underlying premise of my indictment was not true through the introduction of forensic evidence, which would have shown that the download times are too great, that the information stolen from the DNC had to have been taken out on some kind of portable drive out the back door.
00:27:13.540 Or would they allow the testimony of Bill Binney, the leading counterterrorism expert in the country?
00:27:21.240 But those are the two legs of the Russian collusion canard.
00:27:26.460 And all America waits to see whether we're going to have accountability and justice.
00:27:31.200 Or will these deep state actors slip the punch one more time?
00:27:36.720 Just this action last week, in which this passed days ago, actually, where a D.C. grand jury declined to prosecute four members of the military who urged other members of the military not to follow presidential orders, which by any measure is treasonous activity, certainly prosecutable.
00:27:55.280 But here's why no Republican, no Trump supporter, no free thinker, no one who is not on the radical left can ever get a fair trial in the District of Columbia.
00:28:07.880 It is literally impossible between the jury pool of being overwhelmingly and violently anti-Trump and these hostile, openly hostile and biased federal judges.
00:28:20.720 There will be no justice and no accountability in the District of Columbia.
00:28:26.900 That's why it's interesting that the question of Russian collusion and the seditious conspiracy that I argued is a straight line,
00:28:34.600 starting in the Oval Office in 2017 in a meeting chaired by Barack Obama, continuing to 2016 as the Russian collusion hoax, complete with the Mueller investigation, which goes nowhere.
00:28:47.160 The Senate Watergate Committee report, which is a total crock, every single reference to me in there, by the way, is false.
00:28:54.460 When you ask them where they found it, they tell you the Huffington Post, as if that makes it a fact.
00:29:00.180 Beyond that, you had every effort to stop Trump from the presidency.
00:29:08.800 They tried to keep him off the ballot.
00:29:10.920 They tried to impoverish him.
00:29:12.740 They tried to throw him in jail.
00:29:15.440 And he still remarkably made the greatest single comeback in American political history.
00:29:22.440 But people are wondering whether we have a two-tiered system of justice.
00:29:26.820 I mean, Letitia James, as the New York Attorney General, has prosecuted people for the exact act of mortgage fraud that she was accused of briefly in the Eastern District before the indictment against her was dropped on technical grounds.
00:29:41.180 So is there a different tier of justice for Bill and Hillary Clinton? 0.99
00:29:50.140 Is there a different tier of justice for others who violated both the Constitution and the law in their manic desire to take down the human phenomenon known as Donald Trump?
00:30:01.700 It's still an open question, as far as I'm concerned.
00:30:06.680 But the president's base certainly expects it.
00:30:10.900 And the other thing they expect that is very clear is to clear the air on the entire question of the integrity of our elections.
00:30:19.060 We need to know what happened in 2020.
00:30:21.840 We need to see if we can assess the evidence of irregularities and fraud and document all of that.
00:30:28.940 The media did a great job of saying that there was no proof whatsoever.
00:30:33.580 And if you disagreed or tried to produce proof of irregularities or anomalies in the vote, you were censored.
00:30:41.480 You were canceled.
00:30:42.300 You were called a nut.
00:30:44.120 Now, with the FBI raiding the Fulton County Election Board warehouse after Fulton County three times refused demand from the federal government to turn over voting records,
00:30:55.180 we will get to the bottom of the paper ballots.
00:30:58.560 And then there is the question of the electronic voting machines.
00:31:01.860 I misspoke when I did an interview with one of my very good friends the other day,
00:31:08.160 and I said that I thought Tulsi Gabbard had absolutely proof of foreign machine-based manipulation of our elections.
00:31:19.980 I oversold that.
00:31:22.980 I think what Tulsi Gabbard has is now a clear proof that the technology exists, the capabilities exist to manipulate voter data in the United States from offshore via the voting machine mechanisms.
00:31:39.180 Whether she has proof that that happened in 2020, in other words, was the proof kept?
00:31:45.080 Were the criminals that stupid?
00:31:46.760 Or is it unprovable?
00:31:48.500 Well, that remains to be seen.
00:31:49.700 So I take back my original comment.
00:31:52.920 I think in the case of both China and Venezuela, both through Smartmatic and also through a second company, Connect,
00:32:04.660 there's some evidence of both Chinese and Venezuelan manipulation and involvement in our elections.
00:32:10.900 It just needs a full and complete investigation.
00:32:14.220 That's why the president has asked Tulsi Gabbard to lead this.
00:32:18.280 That's why she's being attacked by the Wall Street Journal. 0.81
00:32:20.940 That's why they're trying to accuse her of doing something wrong.
00:32:24.420 They're deathly afraid of her because she's a fighter. 1.00
00:32:27.280 And in the wake of the stunning Russian collusion revelations and now her being on the question of elections,
00:32:35.700 she is targeted by the far left.
00:32:38.580 Mark Warner, the senator from Virginia, keeps attacking her.
00:32:41.440 He's the same guy who was plotting with Christopher Steele, the author of the Steele dossier we spoke to earlier as exposed in a set of text messages.
00:32:53.560 Talk about colluding.
00:32:54.780 I'm Roger Stone.
00:32:56.120 You're listening to the Steele Zone.
00:32:57.260 Don't go away because we'll be back with more politics.
00:33:01.280 It's the weekend and we assume Donald Trump is winging his way to his Mar-a-Lago mansion in beautiful Palm Beach.
00:33:08.620 That's where I'm dining tonight.
00:33:10.160 And I'll be thinking about you out there on the terrace.
00:33:13.480 Ta-ta.
00:33:13.980 We'll be right back.
00:33:15.000 You know, you really can't make this stuff up.
00:33:28.200 Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh is now proposing that taxpayers help bail out businesses who he claims have been hurt by federal immigration enforcement,
00:33:37.040 particularly companies that relied on illegal alien labor to make their profits.
00:33:41.760 Following a large-scale ICE operation in Minneapolis that resulted in more than 4,000 arrests,
00:33:48.100 Walsh claimed that the federal government had left the state in economic ruin.
00:33:51.880 I would say that he did that on his own.
00:33:55.000 He announced a plan to distribute $10 million in state funds to support businesses that have been impacted by the deportation of illegals.
00:34:04.260 In other words, they're being rewarded for breaking the law under this crazy policy.
00:34:09.280 State officials also argue that fear of enforcement has kept workers and customers home, slashing foot traffic and revenue.
00:34:18.680 Tim Walsh is against the arrest and deportation of dangerous and violent criminals.
00:34:23.700 Seventy-plus percent of those arrested in Minnesota meet that profile of either having a criminal record in their country of origin or a criminal record here or awaiting trial here.
00:34:35.400 Some business owners in Minnesota report that sales have dropped dramatically as the immigration laws are in force,
00:34:42.800 but much of that has to do with the Antifa-style thugs in the streets hassling ordinary people,
00:34:48.880 turning areas into radical no-go zones, and deliberately causing confrontations with law enforcement.
00:34:56.360 Throughout his remarks, Walsh instantly praised immigrant entrepreneurs to do little distinction between legal immigrants and those in the country unlawfully.
00:35:05.400 Walsh, let me be clear, sat atop this massive fraud that was going on between those in the Somali community and the federal government, 0.79
00:35:16.620 where hundreds of millions, and before we're done, billions of dollars was siphoned off that was supposed to go for child care centers,
00:35:25.440 senior citizen centers, transportation centers for seniors, and other COVID-19 programs.
00:35:31.960 Some of this money actually made its way all the way back to al-Shabaab, the ISIS offshoot in Somalia.
00:35:40.780 And what Walsh knew and when he knew about it, I think, is a very, very key question.
00:35:48.220 Ilhan Omar seems to have gotten wealthy amidst this blizzard.
00:35:51.960 She came to Congress with $420, I believe it is.
00:35:57.120 She's now, according to public reports, worth somewhere between $12 and $18 million. 0.84
00:36:05.120 There is, once again, the question of how these people enrich themselves in public office.
00:36:10.500 That's why I think Anna Polina Luna, the crusading congresswoman from Florida, is absolutely right in her legislation to bar all trading of stocks and bonds by members of Congress, 0.98
00:36:23.720 so that they can't benefit from inside information.
00:36:27.900 Seeing Republicans and Democrats, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma, who I really like, he made a huge profit just prior to the arrest of Hugo Chavez.
00:36:41.740 I think we have to end that kind of insider enrichment.
00:36:46.520 It's amazing to me that the House continues to resist the bill, but Luna is a fighter who will fight to get that to the floor.
00:36:54.600 These members of Congress are leaving extraordinarily wealthy based on insider trading, beating the best investment advisors.
00:37:04.460 I saw some guy just follow the trades of Nancy Pelosi, and he became extraordinarily wealthy.
00:37:10.040 She is, of course, the queen of all of this.
00:37:13.980 It is part of the endless scene of public office.
00:37:19.340 In other words, if you're the kind of masochist who wants to be a congressman or a senator, there was a time when I was much younger, I fancied that idea.
00:37:27.760 But then I realized I couldn't suffer the fools gladly, and that I couldn't always smile, and I didn't want people prying into my private life.
00:37:35.800 If you're prepared to do all that for power, the money comes with the power.
00:37:40.740 But you get elected to Congress, you spend all your time asking big pharma, big oil, big insurance, big tech, big ag for campaign dollars.
00:37:53.620 It's all about campaign dollars.
00:37:55.820 So I like my friend Anthony Constantino running for Congress up in the northern part of New York State, 21st District,
00:38:02.100 completely funding his own campaign, put $7 million in his own campaign account, won't take money from any special interest so that he can be immune from special interest pressure.
00:38:12.940 I'd like to see more Republicans take that position.
00:38:16.520 Those are the kind of candidates you're going to have to nominate in 2026.
00:38:20.480 Everybody who wants to throw in the towel is way premature, and the quality of our candidates will be a huge factor.
00:38:27.260 Constantino is such a candidate.
00:38:29.000 Thanks for joining us today on The Stone's Own.
00:38:31.040 It was great telling you about the latest on the Watergate break-ins, and thanks for joining us.
