00:00:19.800 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:25.500 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:30.020 Today, we're actually broadcasting from the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C.

00:00:36.940 Within the last 18 months, government documents have been declassified that prove that the Central Intelligence Agency was well aware of the Watergate break-in before it happened,

00:00:48.640 and that they infiltrated the Watergate burglar team.

00:00:52.560 Four of the eight Watergate burglars were actively working for the Central Intelligence Agency.

00:01:00.420 Senator Howard Baker, who was the ranking Republican on the Senate Watergate Committee,

00:01:05.360 was well aware of the CIA's involvement of the takedown of Richard Nixon,

00:01:10.120 but he was specifically prohibited by Senate Watergate Committee Chairman Sam Irvin from including that in his minority report.

00:01:21.060 Nick Ackerman, you may have seen this guy on MSNBC,

00:01:24.920 tries to pretend like he's some kind of law enforcement official or prosecutor.

00:01:31.320 In fact, he's a rabid left-wing prosecutor.

00:01:34.000 He's actually quoted as saying,

00:01:36.460 We know that Nixon knew in advance about the Watergate break-in.

00:01:40.400 We could just never prove it.

00:01:42.640 No, Nick, you didn't know anything of the kind.

00:01:46.700 But it's interesting, as the truth about Watergate becomes clearer and more obvious,

00:01:54.700 that Richard Nixon was taken down, just as JFK was,

00:01:58.640 just as they tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan,

00:02:01.660 just as they tried to keep Donald Trump off the ballot,

00:02:06.400 bankrupt him, put him in jail, 0.63

00:02:08.660 and ultimately tried at least twice,

00:02:10.920 now maybe even three times,

00:02:12.940 considering last weekend, 0.98

00:02:14.760 to assassinate him. 0.58

00:02:16.620 This, to me, proves the existence of a deep state.

00:02:21.560 President Dwight Eisenhower warned us about this.

00:02:24.340 He called it the military-industrial complex,

00:02:27.160 but in his farewell address to the American people,

00:02:30.340 he warned us about the accumulation of power by unelected bureaucrats and others

00:02:36.400 who have, in fact, since 1963, I think,

00:02:40.660 affected America's government and the American position.

00:02:46.300 In any event, it's glad to see the truth is finally coming out.

00:02:49.900 For anybody who was paying attention,

00:02:52.300 you may have noticed last week that,

00:02:54.160 as a condition of his presidential pardon,

00:02:57.600 President Richard Nixon was required

00:02:59.760 to give six hours of sworn testimony

00:03:03.080 before a grand jury on various topics.

00:03:06.980 But one section of that testimony

00:03:09.540 was, until days ago,

00:03:13.200 classified and sealed.

00:03:15.060 We now know that the deep state,

00:03:18.720 specifically the Joint Chiefs,

00:03:21.040 had an active spying operation

00:03:23.140 in the Nixon White House,

00:03:24.780 and that Nixon and his Secretary of State,

00:03:27.700 initially his National Security Advisor,

00:03:30.920 Henry Kissinger,

00:03:31.800 were being spied on

00:03:33.680 by the Defense Department.

00:03:36.640 that there was a naval yeoman

00:03:39.580 named Radford

00:03:41.200 who was photographing documents,

00:03:45.580 rifling through file draws, desks,

00:03:49.260 even went through Henry Kissinger's briefcase

00:03:51.660 to spy on Nixon.

00:03:53.600 Why?

00:03:54.080 Very simple.

00:03:55.220 Because the deep state was opposed

00:03:57.260 to ending the war in Vietnam.

00:03:59.640 It was, after all,

00:04:01.260 extraordinarily profitable

00:04:02.540 for the defense contractors.

00:04:05.120 They were opposed

00:04:06.580 to a strategic arms limitation agreement

00:04:09.120 with the Soviets,

00:04:10.840 which Nixon was able to negotiate.

00:04:13.840 And, of course,

00:04:14.360 they were opposed

00:04:15.040 to opening the door to China.

00:04:17.880 Now, critics of Nixon

00:04:19.760 blame Nixon for the fact

00:04:21.380 that China is today

00:04:22.760 a danger to the United States, 0.62

00:04:25.440 not recognizing that

00:04:27.320 when Richard Nixon

00:04:28.860 opened the door to China, 0.96

00:04:30.660 it was a backwards, 0.95

00:04:32.660 dirt-poor, agrarian society 1.00

00:04:34.860 where few people

00:04:36.400 had indoor plumbing

00:04:37.480 and where the rural areas

00:04:38.900 didn't even have electricity.

00:04:41.500 No, it was Bill Clinton

00:04:43.020 who gave most favored

00:04:45.140 nation trading status

00:04:46.600 to the Chinese

00:04:47.560 30 years later

00:04:49.280 that would make them

00:04:50.720 the great economic

00:04:52.180 and military danger

00:04:53.660 that they are today.

00:04:55.580 Meanwhile,

00:04:56.520 former Secretary of State

00:04:57.560 Hillary Clinton

00:04:58.400 sat for a closed-door deposition

00:05:00.800 before the House Oversight

00:05:02.240 and Government Reform Committee

00:05:03.880 that was actually held virally

00:05:07.280 from her home

00:05:08.820 in Westchester County, New York.

00:05:11.220 In a statement posted

00:05:14.100 to social media

00:05:14.840 before her testimony,

00:05:16.440 Clinton lashed out

00:05:17.280 at Republicans

00:05:17.820 accusing them

00:05:18.700 of targeting her

00:05:20.060 instead of Donald Trump

00:05:21.220 over alleged connections

00:05:22.700 to disgraced financier

00:05:24.840 Jeff Epstein

00:05:25.540 and his pimp associate

00:05:28.080 Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:05:29.980 We have no links

00:05:31.340 to Epstein,

00:05:32.600 said Hillary Clinton,

00:05:33.700 whose husband

00:05:34.340 was on Epstein's plane

00:05:35.820 27 times

00:05:36.900 and who visited

00:05:38.340 Epstein's island

00:05:39.220 at least three times,

00:05:41.320 although based on

00:05:42.160 the sworn testimony

00:05:43.240 of several of the victims

00:05:45.540 of Epstein

00:05:46.140 who refused

00:05:47.540 multi-million dollar payments

00:05:49.120 and moved forward

00:05:50.400 with litigation,

00:05:51.840 Bill Clinton was most definitely

00:05:53.280 on the island.

00:05:55.900 Also clear is the fact

00:05:57.320 that Jeffrey Epstein

00:05:58.500 provided the seed capital

00:06:01.220 for the Clinton Foundation

00:06:02.800 and for the Clinton

00:06:04.000 Global Initiative,

00:06:05.600 as well as making

00:06:06.560 campaign contributions

00:06:07.700 to Hillary's campaign

00:06:09.640 for the U.S. Senate

00:06:10.640 as well as the New York State

00:06:12.240 Democrat Party.

00:06:13.660 No links, you say?

00:06:15.580 Hmm, wrong.

00:06:16.920 Hillary Clinton insisted

00:06:18.080 she possess no knowledge 0.93

00:06:19.460 as she'd aid investigators

00:06:21.060 and framed the hearings

00:06:22.420 as a political distraction.

00:06:24.760 Hillary declined, however,

00:06:26.280 to defend her husband,

00:06:27.660 Bill Clinton.

00:06:28.740 He's actually scheduled

00:06:29.760 to testify tomorrow.

00:06:31.800 Flight logs

00:06:32.460 and photographs

00:06:33.560 tied to the Epstein investigation

00:06:35.160 show the former president

00:06:36.320 traveling, as I say,

00:06:38.060 as many as 27 times

00:06:39.760 on Epstein's private jet

00:06:41.540 to multiple

00:06:42.400 international destinations.

00:06:44.300 And of course,

00:06:44.980 Ghislaine Maxwell,

00:06:45.880 who Hillary claims 0.64

00:06:47.600 to barely know,

00:06:48.460 was a guest of honor

00:06:50.060 at Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

00:06:52.520 A wedding paid for

00:06:54.360 by the Clinton Global Initiative,

00:06:57.300 not by Bill and Hillary.

00:06:59.480 Hillary Clinton's

00:07:00.200 combative opening remarks

00:07:01.320 suggests she plans

00:07:02.060 to turn the inquiry

00:07:02.880 into a partisan fight.

00:07:04.380 That's fine with me.

00:07:06.120 This should be no surprise.

00:07:07.460 Democrats have attempted

00:07:08.400 to make the Epstein scandal

00:07:09.620 all about Donald Trump,

00:07:11.280 even though the emails

00:07:12.380 have proven that Epstein

00:07:13.740 hated Trump

00:07:14.840 and the two men

00:07:15.900 had a falling out

00:07:16.820 decades ago.

00:07:18.000 long before Epstein

00:07:19.820 was even accused

00:07:22.100 and convicted

00:07:23.020 of sex with a child.

00:07:25.660 The evidence shows 0.74

00:07:26.540 that Epstein

00:07:27.020 had intense contact

00:07:28.340 overwhelmingly with Democrats

00:07:29.900 with the exception

00:07:31.080 of one drunken,

00:07:32.920 bloated,

00:07:33.760 faint-right winger

00:07:34.520 named Steve Bannon.

00:07:37.080 Bannon

00:07:37.740 was reached out to

00:07:40.160 by Epstein

00:07:40.720 when he was on

00:07:41.540 the White House staff,

00:07:43.080 but didn't reach out

00:07:44.840 to Epstein

00:07:45.340 until after he was fired.

00:07:47.260 Now the emails

00:07:49.100 released by the Department

00:07:50.160 of Justice

00:07:50.780 show that Steve Bannon

00:07:52.740 was coaching Epstein

00:07:55.140 on the rehabilitation

00:07:56.100 of his image

00:07:57.600 and was constantly

00:07:59.360 denigrating Donald Trump, 1.00

00:08:01.080 calling him stupid, 1.00

00:08:02.860 undermining Trump's 1.00

00:08:05.200 China trade policy,

00:08:07.220 and insisting that he,

00:08:09.660 Bannon,

00:08:10.360 was the center

00:08:11.220 of the MAGA movement,

00:08:13.240 not Donald Trump.

00:08:14.320 There'll be a lot more

00:08:15.880 coming out

00:08:16.480 about Steve Bannon

00:08:17.500 and who financed

00:08:18.960 his career

00:08:19.780 and his podcast.

00:08:22.260 That's coming up

00:08:23.020 very, very soon.

00:08:24.560 Stay tuned to the Stone Zone.

00:08:25.700 We'll have a lot more

00:08:26.500 about that

00:08:27.100 in the days

00:08:27.980 and weeks

00:08:28.860 again.

00:08:30.380 But Democrats

00:08:31.460 keep insisting

00:08:32.380 they want more

00:08:33.200 disclosure about Epstein.

00:08:34.840 I agree.

00:08:35.320 I want all

00:08:36.980 of the files

00:08:37.720 to be released

00:08:38.480 because what it will

00:08:39.580 show you is

00:08:40.420 those who visit

00:08:41.600 the island,

00:08:42.700 like former

00:08:43.800 Senate Majority Leader

00:08:45.160 George Mitchell

00:08:45.900 of Michigan,

00:08:47.300 former Governor

00:08:48.220 Bill Richardson

00:08:49.220 of New Mexico,

00:08:51.020 former Treasury

00:08:51.740 Secretary Larry Summers

00:08:53.500 of the Clinton

00:08:54.000 administration,

00:08:55.220 all Democrats.

00:08:57.240 Meanwhile,

00:08:57.960 speaking in a

00:08:58.600 private town hall

00:08:59.580 inside the Bill

00:09:00.720 and Melinda Gates

00:09:01.720 Foundation,

00:09:03.180 billionaire Bill Gates

00:09:04.640 admitted it was

00:09:05.620 in his words

00:09:06.300 a huge mistake

00:09:08.020 to associate 0.99

00:09:09.200 with the pedophile 0.97

00:09:10.120 Jeffrey Epstein

00:09:10.900 years after Epstein

00:09:12.640 had already

00:09:13.200 pled guilty

00:09:13.860 to having illicit

00:09:14.780 sexual relations 0.70

00:09:15.620 with minors.

00:09:17.200 Gates insisted

00:09:17.880 he never visited

00:09:18.900 Epstein's island

00:09:19.720 and never interacted

00:09:21.240 with victims

00:09:21.860 but acknowledged

00:09:23.480 multiple meetings,

00:09:24.660 international travel

00:09:25.700 together,

00:09:26.280 and even bringing

00:09:27.060 foundation officials

00:09:28.640 into contact

00:09:29.540 with Jeffrey Epstein

00:09:30.440 while seeking

00:09:31.680 philanthropic funding.

00:09:32.940 Gates was recently

00:09:34.840 forced to withdraw

00:09:35.700 from a major

00:09:36.600 global AI conference

00:09:38.700 in India

00:09:39.380 during the meeting,

00:09:44.760 Gates conceded

00:09:45.560 his then-wife

00:09:46.460 had warned

00:09:47.340 about Epstein

00:09:48.000 early on,

00:09:48.860 but Gates

00:09:49.200 had continued

00:09:49.820 his personal

00:09:50.880 relationships

00:09:51.700 with Epstein

00:09:52.460 through 2014.

00:09:54.580 We also now know

00:09:56.620 from the emails

00:09:57.560 reduced by the

00:09:58.320 Department of Justice

00:09:59.120 that Gates

00:10:01.040 sought help

00:10:01.960 from Epstein

00:10:02.540 to get antibiotics

00:10:03.980 to treat him

00:10:05.400 for sexually

00:10:06.620 transmitted diseases

00:10:07.820 that he got

00:10:08.940 from Russian 0.99

00:10:09.960 prostitutes 0.97

00:10:11.280 who had been 0.96

00:10:11.920 set up

00:10:12.640 with Bill Gates

00:10:13.600 by Jeffrey Epstein

00:10:15.200 himself.

00:10:16.520 So this begs

00:10:17.380 the question,

00:10:18.120 why would one

00:10:18.700 of the world's

00:10:19.660 richest men

00:10:20.360 need fundraising

00:10:21.120 help from a

00:10:22.280 convicted sex offender?

00:10:24.080 Seems like Gates

00:10:24.940 had all the world's

00:10:26.200 richest and influential

00:10:27.340 people on speed dial.

00:10:29.180 He didn't need

00:10:29.780 help making

00:10:30.240 these connections.

00:10:31.180 He was a

00:10:31.760 globalist power broker.

00:10:33.960 So what would he

00:10:34.760 need Jeffrey Epstein

00:10:35.740 for?

00:10:36.600 What would Epstein

00:10:37.620 specialize in

00:10:38.820 that would spur

00:10:39.560 their friendship?

00:10:41.100 These are the

00:10:41.740 questions that,

00:10:42.620 in my opinion,

00:10:43.120 must be asked.

00:10:44.660 The notion that

00:10:45.400 the friendship

00:10:45.860 between Gates

00:10:46.660 and Epstein

00:10:47.100 was innocuous

00:10:48.120 is patently

00:10:49.260 absurd.

00:10:50.500 Gates believes 0.74

00:10:51.300 that he should

00:10:51.880 dictate global

00:10:52.680 public policy,

00:10:53.720 particularly medical

00:10:55.000 policy,

00:10:55.660 and force his

00:10:56.660 toxic vaccination

00:10:57.980 cocktail onto the

00:10:59.240 bodies of children.

00:11:00.620 This man is at 0.59

00:11:01.620 core a violator 1.00

00:11:02.700 and a pervert. 0.97

00:11:04.100 If any, 1.00

00:11:04.460 he deserves to be

00:11:05.120 a victor of

00:11:05.720 canceled culture.

00:11:07.080 I suggest to you

00:11:07.940 that it's Bill Gates.

00:11:10.400 Meanwhile,

00:11:11.420 peace talks

00:11:11.960 continue between

00:11:13.300 the United States

00:11:14.100 and Iran.

00:11:15.080 U.S.

00:11:15.460 Envoys Jared Kushner,

00:11:17.240 the president's

00:11:17.820 son-in-law,

00:11:18.800 and Steve Witkoff

00:11:19.960 met for more than

00:11:21.080 three hours with

00:11:22.180 the Iranian

00:11:22.620 foreign minister,

00:11:24.180 Abbas Arachi,

00:11:25.660 on Thursday

00:11:26.480 with mediations

00:11:27.400 by Oman's

00:11:28.260 top diplomat

00:11:29.060 Badr al-Bawsiad.

00:11:32.300 The reports

00:11:33.180 from Kushner

00:11:34.180 and Witkoff

00:11:34.960 will shape

00:11:35.380 whether President

00:11:36.040 Trump pursues

00:11:37.360 a permanent

00:11:38.160 agreement

00:11:38.760 or whether

00:11:40.220 he considers

00:11:40.900 direct military

00:11:42.240 action to

00:11:42.980 stop Tehran's 0.99

00:11:44.220 nuclear ambitions.

00:11:46.160 The administration

00:11:46.860 officials say

00:11:47.780 the goal is

00:11:48.480 clear.

00:11:49.320 No repeat

00:11:50.340 of the Obama

00:11:51.380 era joint

00:11:52.620 comprehensive

00:11:53.580 plan of action

00:11:54.700 which gave

00:11:55.880 Iran sanctions

00:11:56.840 relief along

00:11:57.700 with pallets

00:11:58.900 of cash

00:11:59.680 while allowing

00:12:00.820 nuclear restrictions

00:12:01.760 to expire

00:12:02.620 over time.

00:12:04.060 American

00:12:04.460 negotiators

00:12:05.240 are demanding

00:12:05.920 Iran dismantle

00:12:07.160 major enrichment

00:12:08.900 facilities

00:12:09.620 in Fordow,

00:12:11.440 Natanz,

00:12:12.280 and Ish-Fahan

00:12:14.240 and surrender

00:12:15.380 enriched uranium

00:12:16.900 stockpiles.

00:12:18.180 The International

00:12:19.140 Atomic Energy

00:12:20.120 Agency,

00:12:21.220 headed by

00:12:21.900 Rafael Grossi,

00:12:23.340 participated in

00:12:24.720 the ongoing

00:12:25.520 negotiations.

00:12:27.300 Supporters

00:12:27.820 of Tupper

00:12:28.520 Stances say

00:12:29.240 it reflects

00:12:29.680 a lesson

00:12:30.180 learned.

00:12:30.740 Temporary

00:12:31.120 deals

00:12:31.480 simply buy

00:12:32.600 time for

00:12:33.380 hostage regimes,

00:12:35.020 in this case

00:12:35.600 Iran,

00:12:36.520 but it would

00:12:36.940 buy time for

00:12:37.620 them to develop

00:12:38.440 nuclear weapons.

00:12:39.940 This cannot

00:12:40.980 be tolerated.

00:12:42.660 The administration

00:12:43.280 insists any

00:12:43.980 agreement must be

00:12:44.840 permanent and

00:12:45.620 verifiable.

00:12:46.920 Iran has 0.98

00:12:47.540 submitted a

00:12:48.200 draft proposal,

00:12:49.600 but details

00:12:50.160 remain

00:12:50.620 undisclosed.

00:12:51.540 It's clear

00:12:52.720 that the

00:12:53.100 Trump

00:12:53.380 administration

00:12:54.020 will not

00:12:54.600 waver from

00:12:55.300 its peace

00:12:56.220 through strength

00:12:57.020 philosophy,

00:12:58.380 backed by

00:12:58.880 critical

00:12:59.560 consequences for

00:13:00.900 an Iranian

00:13:01.340 threat that

00:13:01.940 cannot be

00:13:02.540 trusted.

00:13:03.620 Iran should 0.99

00:13:04.160 make a deal

00:13:04.660 now or one

00:13:05.380 is still

00:13:05.720 available,

00:13:06.400 otherwise

00:13:06.920 the Ayatollah

00:13:08.920 may get

00:13:09.440 Maduro-ed and

00:13:10.840 he will never

00:13:11.400 even see it

00:13:12.400 coming.

00:13:13.280 You're listening

00:13:13.840 to The Stone

00:13:14.440 Zone here on

00:13:39.700 degree is

00:14:10.340 The Stone

00:14:11.480 Zone,

00:14:12.360 entertaining

00:14:12.940 and informative

00:14:14.160 on the Red

00:14:14.980 Apple Podcast

00:14:16.000 Network.

00:14:17.460 And you're

00:14:18.080 diving head

00:14:19.480 first in the

00:14:20.400 deep end of

00:14:21.380 the Stone

00:14:21.840 Zone.

00:14:22.680 I'm your

00:14:23.140 host,

00:14:23.740 Roger Stone.

00:14:24.960 After the

00:14:25.600 U.S.

00:14:25.940 men's Olympic

00:14:26.560 hockey team

00:14:27.520 captured gold

00:14:28.580 and accepted

00:14:29.200 an invitation

00:14:30.040 from Donald

00:14:30.560 Trump to

00:14:31.000 attend the

00:14:31.660 state of

00:14:32.460 the Union,

00:14:33.440 fake news

00:14:33.980 propagandists

00:14:34.840 at the

00:14:35.220 New York

00:14:35.660 Times

00:14:36.160 shamefully

00:14:37.080 attacked the

00:14:37.720 presidents for

00:14:38.340 celebrating with

00:14:39.120 their own

00:14:39.540 president.

00:14:40.700 The Times

00:14:41.220 columnist,

00:14:42.160 Jerry Brewer,

00:14:43.300 not a journalist,

00:14:44.180 a propagandist,

00:14:45.540 argued the

00:14:46.220 victory stopped

00:14:46.940 being unifying

00:14:47.780 once the team

00:14:48.500 embraced the

00:14:49.160 White House

00:14:49.520 invitations,

00:14:50.700 suggesting the

00:14:51.480 athletes lacked

00:14:52.540 political instinct

00:14:53.800 in allowing their

00:14:54.800 triumph to become

00:14:55.720 political capital

00:14:57.320 for President

00:14:58.140 Trump.

00:14:59.060 Does Brewer

00:14:59.700 not understand

00:15:00.400 that Donald

00:15:00.880 Trump is the

00:15:01.640 president of

00:15:02.800 the United

00:15:03.300 States and

00:15:04.060 that in that

00:15:04.700 capacity he

00:15:05.880 represents the

00:15:06.780 country and

00:15:07.360 the fact that

00:15:07.960 every American

00:15:09.320 is proud of

00:15:10.500 the U.S.

00:15:11.100 Olympic team?

00:15:12.320 In other

00:15:12.620 words,

00:15:13.060 they committed

00:15:13.540 the offense

00:15:14.100 of showing

00:15:14.620 respect to

00:15:16.040 the office of

00:15:16.680 the presidency

00:15:17.240 and pride in

00:15:18.300 the American

00:15:18.780 flag.

00:15:19.900 I'm surprised

00:15:20.660 the Olympic

00:15:21.060 heroes weren't

00:15:21.640 accused of

00:15:22.120 being white 0.67

00:15:22.580 supremacists by 0.73

00:15:23.840 the New York

00:15:24.260 Times.

00:15:25.120 The New York

00:15:25.580 Times was a

00:15:26.380 once great

00:15:27.400 newspaper,

00:15:27.980 but today

00:15:28.720 it's just a

00:15:29.720 propaganda front

00:15:30.820 for the

00:15:31.600 Democrat

00:15:31.980 Party and

00:15:33.620 of course

00:15:34.040 they are

00:15:34.600 very badly

00:15:35.740 obsessed with

00:15:36.820 Trump derangement 0.83

00:15:38.420 syndrome.

00:15:39.760 Criticism of

00:15:40.740 the Olympic

00:15:41.140 hockey heroes

00:15:42.460 who are

00:15:43.460 revered by

00:15:44.160 the vast

00:15:44.760 majority of

00:15:45.480 Americans

00:15:45.940 reveals more

00:15:46.880 about the

00:15:47.800 commentators

00:15:48.520 than the

00:15:48.940 champions

00:15:49.340 themselves.

00:15:50.580 The prayers

00:15:51.360 praised the

00:15:52.060 troops,

00:15:53.200 honored their

00:15:53.720 country,

00:15:54.480 and enthusiastically

00:15:55.400 accepted a

00:15:56.140 congratulatory

00:15:57.100 call from

00:15:57.780 the commander

00:15:58.360 in chief.

00:15:59.200 That used

00:15:59.560 to be normal

00:16:00.560 in America.

00:16:02.000 Changing

00:16:02.320 championship

00:16:03.080 teams have

00:16:03.860 visited presidents

00:16:04.640 of both

00:16:05.200 parties for

00:16:05.760 decades,

00:16:06.700 as it should

00:16:07.340 be.

00:16:08.260 The Olympics

00:16:08.740 are meant

00:16:09.260 to be beyond

00:16:10.000 politics,

00:16:10.700 yet today

00:16:11.620 patriotism

00:16:12.920 itself is

00:16:13.600 treated as

00:16:14.220 suspect,

00:16:15.260 and only

00:16:15.920 when conservatives

00:16:16.760 are involved.

00:16:17.900 That's the

00:16:18.280 weird part.

00:16:19.240 The team

00:16:19.580 didn't divide

00:16:20.280 the country,

00:16:20.880 they united

00:16:21.420 it.

00:16:22.160 They won

00:16:22.980 for the

00:16:23.500 United States,

00:16:24.960 proudly

00:16:25.440 wore the

00:16:26.380 stars and

00:16:26.900 stripes,

00:16:27.760 and celebrated

00:16:28.560 with millions

00:16:29.240 of cheering

00:16:29.980 Americans.

00:16:31.140 This was just

00:16:32.000 the moment

00:16:32.440 the country

00:16:32.940 needed,

00:16:33.900 but it's

00:16:34.260 not what

00:16:34.720 the American

00:16:35.220 left wanted.

00:16:36.540 They hoped

00:16:37.000 to keep

00:16:37.260 Americans

00:16:37.700 divided in

00:16:38.640 each other's

00:16:39.220 throats,

00:16:39.660 because they

00:16:40.180 believe that's

00:16:40.920 their best

00:16:41.480 way of getting

00:16:42.580 power back.

00:16:43.880 They hoped

00:16:44.480 the Olympians

00:16:45.100 would spit

00:16:46.000 on their

00:16:46.440 country,

00:16:46.940 but instead

00:16:47.420 these young

00:16:47.980 athletes were

00:16:49.080 grateful for

00:16:49.640 the opportunity,

00:16:51.080 proud of their

00:16:51.700 nation,

00:16:52.480 and respectful

00:16:53.320 of American

00:16:54.060 traditions.

00:16:54.580 So I say

00:16:55.880 God bless

00:16:56.640 the Olympic

00:16:57.120 hockey team

00:16:57.800 for refusing

00:16:58.420 to play

00:16:59.020 into the

00:17:00.260 media-driven

00:17:01.100 divide,

00:17:02.160 and instead

00:17:02.820 unifying Americans

00:17:04.200 around our

00:17:05.060 shared patriotic

00:17:06.700 heritage.

00:17:07.860 I stayed up

00:17:08.700 very late to

00:17:09.700 watch the

00:17:10.160 President's

00:17:10.740 State of the

00:17:11.360 Union address,

00:17:12.580 which I think

00:17:13.120 was a triumph.

00:17:14.460 Yes,

00:17:15.240 America is

00:17:16.180 back because

00:17:17.140 we have a

00:17:17.880 President who

00:17:18.580 is leading us

00:17:19.360 back to

00:17:20.220 greatness again.

00:17:21.420 watching the

00:17:22.920 media commentary

00:17:23.900 about the

00:17:25.060 President's

00:17:25.780 no longer

00:17:27.000 being entertaining

00:17:28.000 doesn't recognize

00:17:29.380 where America

00:17:30.700 is.

00:17:31.320 Let's be clear.

00:17:32.700 Inflation is

00:17:33.580 down.

00:17:34.400 Unemployment

00:17:35.220 is down.

00:17:36.480 Mortgage

00:17:37.000 rates are

00:17:37.920 down.

00:17:38.840 Gas prices

00:17:39.820 are down.

00:17:41.060 Grocery prices

00:17:42.100 are down.

00:17:43.580 And,

00:17:44.500 well,

00:17:45.040 peace is broken

00:17:45.680 out in at least

00:17:46.560 eight wars

00:17:47.380 this President

00:17:48.140 has solved.

00:17:49.100 America is

00:17:50.400 back and

00:17:51.420 the American

00:17:51.860 left hates

00:17:52.900 it.

00:17:53.620 I'm Roger

00:17:54.080 Stone.

00:17:54.560 You're

00:17:54.680 listening to

00:17:55.120 Stone Zone.

00:17:55.800 Don't go

00:17:56.180 away because

00:17:57.220 we'll be.

00:18:03.440 Entertaining and

00:18:04.700 informative.

00:18:07.080 Network.

00:18:08.520 I'm Roger

00:18:09.200 Stone and

00:18:09.880 you're back in

00:18:10.840 the Stone

00:18:11.340 Zone.

00:18:12.460 A major

00:18:13.100 legal victory

00:18:14.220 for immigration

00:18:15.100 enforcement occurred

00:18:16.080 this week as a

00:18:17.580 federal appeals

00:18:18.420 court ruled the

00:18:19.540 IRS can lawfully

00:18:21.020 cooperate with

00:18:21.960 immigration

00:18:22.460 authorities to

00:18:23.780 help identify

00:18:24.680 criminal illegal

00:18:26.020 immigrants. 0.98

00:18:27.400 The United

00:18:27.660 States Court of

00:18:28.580 Appeals for the

00:18:29.360 District of

00:18:29.960 Columbia Circuit

00:18:31.020 unanimously upheld

00:18:32.560 an agreement

00:18:33.280 allowing the 0.66

00:18:34.860 IRS to share

00:18:36.200 limited taxpayer

00:18:37.300 address information

00:18:38.440 with the

00:18:39.340 Department of

00:18:39.920 Homeland Security

00:18:40.920 and Immigrations

00:18:42.640 and Custom

00:18:43.240 Enforcement for

00:18:44.600 criminal investigations

00:18:45.760 and deportation

00:18:47.100 efforts.

00:18:47.620 The ruling

00:18:48.820 rejected a

00:18:49.680 lawsuit from

00:18:50.520 an activist

00:18:51.680 group attempting

00:18:52.620 to block

00:18:53.200 cooperation between

00:18:54.760 federal agencies.

00:18:56.680 Judges even in

00:18:58.000 D.C.

00:18:58.580 found the

00:18:59.040 plaintiffs were

00:18:59.620 unlikely to win

00:19:00.520 because federal

00:19:01.260 law already permits

00:19:02.480 disclosure when

00:19:03.900 investigators make a

00:19:05.160 valid criminal

00:19:06.100 request.

00:19:07.520 The court

00:19:08.000 confirmed the

00:19:08.760 government can

00:19:09.660 use lawful

00:19:10.660 tools to find

00:19:11.560 people who

00:19:12.720 broke immigration 1.00

00:19:13.600 laws.

00:19:14.120 The policy

00:19:15.340 stems from a

00:19:16.300 2025 memorandum

00:19:18.760 understanding that

00:19:20.420 allows ICE to

00:19:21.960 request addresses

00:19:22.960 connected to

00:19:23.820 criminal investigations.

00:19:25.720 Officials say the

00:19:26.780 information helps

00:19:27.640 remove dangerous

00:19:28.660 offenders, prevent

00:19:30.240 public benefit

00:19:31.180 fraud, and

00:19:32.480 ensure voter rolls

00:19:33.720 remain accurate and

00:19:35.140 clean.

00:19:36.400 Critics argue that

00:19:37.580 tax law forbids

00:19:38.640 sharing addresses

00:19:39.700 alone.

00:19:40.260 But the court

00:19:41.480 said that the

00:19:42.520 statute clearly

00:19:43.620 allows disclosure

00:19:44.780 to specific

00:19:45.700 officials for

00:19:47.120 non-tax criminal

00:19:48.480 investigations, which

00:19:50.280 is exactly what's

00:19:51.240 happening here.

00:19:51.940 The judges

00:19:53.160 emphasize that the

00:19:54.460 IRS will only 1.00

00:19:55.640 comply when

00:19:56.540 requests meet

00:19:57.440 strict legal

00:19:58.660 standards.

00:19:59.860 For years,

00:20:00.640 Americans have 0.78

00:20:01.240 been told

00:20:01.760 enforcement was

00:20:02.900 impossible.

00:20:04.280 This decision,

00:20:05.180 however, says

00:20:05.980 otherwise.

00:20:07.460 Agencies can

00:20:08.600 cooperate,

00:20:09.780 follow the law,

00:20:11.100 and protect

00:20:11.880 communities at

00:20:12.860 the same time.

00:20:14.200 If someone

00:20:14.760 commits crimes

00:20:15.720 and hides them

00:20:16.580 from bureaucracy,

00:20:17.760 the government

00:20:18.380 should still be

00:20:19.160 able to find

00:20:20.020 them.

00:20:20.280 There should be

00:20:21.340 no endless

00:20:22.120 procedural

00:20:22.740 headaches stopping

00:20:23.640 illegals from 1.00

00:20:24.840 being deported.

00:20:26.500 The ruling

00:20:26.800 marks another

00:20:27.560 step towards

00:20:28.340 restoring immigration

00:20:29.440 enforcement and

00:20:30.860 making sure the

00:20:31.660 Trump administration

00:20:32.580 has all the

00:20:33.620 tools available to

00:20:35.180 get these dangerous

00:20:36.260 invaders out of 0.98

00:20:37.880 the country.

00:20:39.440 Not shocking,

00:20:40.980 we learn that the

00:20:41.820 Biden FBI actually

00:20:43.560 spied on Cash

00:20:44.860 Patel as well as

00:20:46.580 presidential campaign

00:20:48.080 manager and now

00:20:49.300 White House chief

00:20:50.300 of staff Susie

00:20:51.600 Wiles during the

00:20:53.200 Biden administration

00:20:54.120 before the

00:20:55.180 election.

00:20:56.180 FBI director

00:20:57.160 Cash Patel has

00:20:58.280 revealed that

00:20:58.980 investigators working

00:21:00.060 under special

00:21:01.260 counsel Jack

00:21:02.360 Smith obtained

00:21:04.140 a phone

00:21:05.440 metadata tied

00:21:07.220 both to Patel

00:21:08.640 himself and to

00:21:10.320 Trump's advisor,

00:21:11.540 now chief of staff,

00:21:12.680 Susie Wiles,

00:21:13.480 while they were

00:21:14.620 private citizens.

00:21:16.460 The records

00:21:16.940 reportedly included

00:21:17.860 call logs,

00:21:19.000 so-called toll

00:21:19.880 records, and

00:21:21.100 even a recorded

00:21:22.180 call between

00:21:23.020 Wiles and her 1.00

00:21:24.260 attorney.

00:21:25.760 Patel said the

00:21:26.640 most troubling

00:21:27.240 detail wasn't the

00:21:28.380 surveillance, but

00:21:29.840 what happened

00:21:30.420 afterwards.

00:21:31.200 According to the

00:21:32.040 FBI director,

00:21:33.520 the files were

00:21:34.160 placed in a

00:21:34.860 restricted FBI

00:21:36.060 database category

00:21:37.520 labeled prohibited,

00:21:39.700 making them

00:21:40.320 difficult for

00:21:41.160 oversight officials to

00:21:42.460 ever locate.

00:21:43.900 After discovering

00:21:44.940 the materials upon

00:21:46.000 becoming director,

00:21:47.500 Patel eliminated

00:21:48.800 the classification

00:21:49.980 system and

00:21:51.740 removed personnel

00:21:52.600 who were involved

00:21:53.540 in the politically

00:21:54.240 motivated surveillance

00:21:55.980 scheme.

00:21:57.340 The deep state

00:21:58.080 claims that

00:21:59.160 obtaining metadata

00:22:00.520 is legal and

00:22:01.620 routine in

00:22:02.340 complex probes,

00:22:04.160 and that no call

00:22:05.320 context was

00:22:06.480 collected.

00:22:07.500 But that, of

00:22:08.180 course, is

00:22:08.720 hogwash.

00:22:09.680 targeting close

00:22:11.340 associates in a

00:22:12.480 point of

00:22:12.920 opinion, and

00:22:14.360 then burying the

00:22:15.240 records that you

00:22:15.880 did so, crosses

00:22:17.500 a line from

00:22:18.340 legitimate investigation

00:22:19.500 into abuse of

00:22:21.560 power.

00:22:22.720 The controversy

00:22:23.560 follows earlier

00:22:24.940 disputes over the

00:22:26.300 Mar-a-Lago search

00:22:27.620 and the ultimately

00:22:29.140 dismissed federal

00:22:30.300 cases against

00:22:31.100 President Trump

00:22:31.860 after his election

00:22:33.420 victory.

00:22:33.940 This is part of

00:22:36.160 a broader

00:22:36.840 effort by

00:22:37.700 federal

00:22:38.180 authority to

00:22:39.680 monitor political

00:22:40.780 opponents rather

00:22:41.640 than focus solely

00:22:43.280 on criminal

00:22:44.220 conduct.

00:22:45.500 Thank God

00:22:46.320 that FBI

00:22:47.100 Director

00:22:47.560 Kash Patel has

00:22:48.480 ended this

00:22:49.260 culture.

00:22:50.180 And the FBI

00:22:50.960 is back to

00:22:52.140 investigating real

00:22:53.400 threats.

00:22:53.960 Special

00:22:55.260 Counselor Jack

00:22:56.120 Smith and

00:22:56.700 others who

00:22:57.260 put the

00:22:57.700 credit to

00:22:58.120 these abuses

00:22:58.560 will not be

00:22:59.280 left off with

00:23:00.000 a slap on

00:23:01.220 the wrist.

00:23:02.400 I think they

00:23:02.860 should be made

00:23:03.440 into examples

00:23:04.200 with severe

00:23:05.000 consequences

00:23:05.760 coming against

00:23:07.020 them so this

00:23:07.700 behavior will

00:23:08.700 never happen

00:23:09.760 again.

00:23:10.820 After all,

00:23:11.440 didn't they

00:23:11.940 remove Richard

00:23:13.080 Nixon as

00:23:13.600 president because

00:23:14.280 he allegedly

00:23:15.020 was spying on

00:23:16.560 his political

00:23:17.140 opponents?

00:23:18.200 That's what the

00:23:19.120 Russian collusion

00:23:20.120 hoax was all

00:23:21.740 about.

00:23:22.300 future of

00:23:29.100 American

00:23:29.480 education and

00:23:31.280 the future of

00:23:32.140 personal

00:23:32.560 responsibility.

00:23:36.500 Kompani AI

00:23:37.860 is promoting

00:23:39.460 a so-called

00:23:40.380 homework agent

00:23:41.860 called Einstein.

00:23:49.040 On behalf

00:23:50.260 of students

00:23:51.180 and even

00:23:52.240 submit them

00:23:53.060 automatically,

00:23:54.580 watch lectures,

00:24:01.640 read course

00:24:02.440 material,

00:24:03.740 write essays

00:24:04.620 with citations,

00:24:06.280 respond to

00:24:06.920 classmates,

00:24:08.140 and turn in

00:24:09.200 homework,

00:24:10.100 all without the

00:24:11.200 student either

00:24:12.200 lifting a finger

00:24:13.220 or even knowing

00:24:14.040 about it.

00:24:14.620 The platform

00:24:16.020 boasts the tool

00:24:17.280 works across

00:24:18.000 subjects like

00:24:18.760 math and

00:24:19.420 science to

00:24:20.140 literature.

00:24:22.020 Basically,

00:24:23.180 the robot

00:24:24.260 goes to

00:24:24.940 school so

00:24:26.140 the child

00:24:26.680 doesn't have

00:24:27.420 to.

00:24:28.200 But how

00:24:28.600 then does

00:24:29.820 the child

00:24:30.420 learn?

00:24:31.760 The timing

00:24:32.320 of this AI

00:24:33.500 program

00:24:34.080 couldn't be

00:24:34.580 worse.

00:24:35.880 You see,

00:24:36.620 recent data

00:24:37.580 reported by

00:24:38.280 the Associated

00:24:39.040 Press shows

00:24:40.320 that childhood

00:24:41.080 literacy in the

00:24:42.100 United States

00:24:42.640 is literally

00:24:43.320 collapsing.

00:24:44.860 Just over

00:24:45.340 30% of

00:24:46.460 fourth graders

00:24:47.360 read at

00:24:48.060 proficiently

00:24:48.760 labels down

00:24:50.420 sharply since

00:24:51.160 2019.

00:24:51.860 Yet the

00:24:53.000 company's

00:24:53.560 founder dismissed

00:24:54.900 criticism,

00:24:55.780 arguing that

00:24:56.380 education should

00:24:57.900 adapt to

00:24:58.760 AI just as

00:25:00.780 it adapted to

00:25:01.680 calculators in

00:25:02.720 the internet.

00:25:04.280 But critics,

00:25:05.140 I think,

00:25:05.380 are right when

00:25:05.920 they say this

00:25:06.520 isn't a

00:25:06.960 calculator.

00:25:07.440 it's academic

00:25:09.260 outsourcing.

00:25:10.920 So instead of

00:25:11.500 helping students

00:25:12.520 learn, it

00:25:13.820 risks training

00:25:14.880 an entire

00:25:15.660 generation to

00:25:17.220 depend on

00:25:17.820 machines to

00:25:18.820 do the

00:25:19.240 thinking itself.

00:25:20.980 Parents should

00:25:21.600 worry that

00:25:22.220 schools have

00:25:22.920 abandoned the

00:25:23.640 fundamentals in

00:25:24.620 terms of

00:25:25.120 trends and

00:25:25.860 technology.

00:25:27.200 Now students

00:25:27.980 may never

00:25:28.840 need to

00:25:29.620 pick up a

00:25:30.220 book, write

00:25:31.340 an essay, or

00:25:32.640 understand the

00:25:33.600 lesson at

00:25:34.600 all.

00:25:35.120 Technology is

00:25:36.620 dumbing us

00:25:37.280 down at

00:25:37.900 a rapid

00:25:38.480 rate, and

00:25:39.640 this new

00:25:40.260 AI platform

00:25:41.540 will only

00:25:42.080 worsen this

00:25:42.840 trend.

00:25:43.860 It should

00:25:44.300 be banned

00:25:44.960 before it

00:25:45.540 destroys the

00:25:46.280 foundations of

00:25:47.180 school in

00:25:47.760 this country.

00:25:48.840 I say it's

00:25:49.640 time to

00:25:50.220 return to

00:25:50.920 reading,

00:25:51.940 writing,

00:25:52.640 and

00:25:52.760 arithmetic.

00:25:54.440 Meanwhile,

00:25:55.820 I want to

00:25:56.740 do a new

00:25:57.480 poll conducted

00:25:58.340 on behalf of

00:25:59.340 the 1776

00:26:00.440 law center.

00:26:02.140 60% of

00:26:03.280 voters say

00:26:03.980 that vaccination

00:26:04.900 manufacturers

00:26:05.640 should lose

00:26:06.400 their legal

00:26:07.500 immunity in

00:26:08.400 injury cases,

00:26:09.360 including

00:26:09.780 one-third who

00:26:11.520 strongly support

00:26:12.520 ending it

00:26:13.320 outright.

00:26:15.040 Supports

00:26:15.540 have

00:26:15.940 age, race,

00:26:17.400 and gender

00:26:17.900 lines,

00:26:18.460 but only

00:26:18.840 about 27%

00:26:20.620 opposed

00:26:21.980 removing the

00:26:23.000 protection.

00:26:24.180 The legal

00:26:24.740 shield comes

00:26:25.460 from the

00:26:25.880 National

00:26:26.420 Childhood

00:26:27.160 Vaccination

00:26:27.860 Injury Act,

00:26:29.180 which placed

00:26:30.140 most claims

00:26:31.060 into a

00:26:31.560 government

00:26:31.860 compensation

00:26:32.500 system instead

00:26:34.080 of traditional

00:26:35.040 courts.

00:26:35.660 But don't

00:26:36.720 look for it

00:26:37.260 online because,

00:26:38.460 well, you

00:26:38.920 won't find

00:26:39.580 it.

00:26:40.220 Today,

00:26:40.760 taxpayers

00:26:41.340 effectively

00:26:42.040 defend those

00:26:42.900 cases and

00:26:43.960 payouts come

00:26:44.660 from a

00:26:45.100 federally

00:26:45.540 managed fund

00:26:46.360 financed by

00:26:47.340 vaccination

00:26:48.500 taxes.

00:26:50.320 The system

00:26:51.260 limits damages,

00:26:53.100 restricts

00:26:53.720 evidence discovery,

00:26:54.840 and leaves

00:26:55.520 many families

00:26:56.500 waiting for

00:26:57.540 years for

00:26:58.420 review.

00:26:59.700 By design,

00:27:01.200 of course,

00:27:01.540 in order to

00:27:02.220 protect big

00:27:02.980 pharma,

00:27:04.120 Senator Rand

00:27:04.880 Paul of

00:27:05.500 Kentucky

00:27:05.980 recently

00:27:06.500 introduced

00:27:06.980 legislation

00:27:07.600 to change

00:27:08.160 that,

00:27:09.160 saying Americans

00:27:09.980 are forced

00:27:10.580 in the

00:27:10.880 process to

00:27:11.700 deny

00:27:12.180 their

00:27:12.700 accountability.

00:27:15.460 Health and

00:27:16.320 Human Services

00:27:17.100 Secretary,

00:27:18.260 Robert F.

00:27:18.760 Kennedy Jr.,

00:27:19.580 a good friend

00:27:20.120 of mine,

00:27:21.100 has also

00:27:21.660 proposed

00:27:22.180 expanding

00:27:22.820 compensation

00:27:23.740 eligibility,

00:27:25.160 including

00:27:25.540 conditions linked

00:27:26.540 to neurological

00:27:27.400 symptoms.

00:27:28.200 The people

00:27:37.000 deserve a

00:27:37.740 day in

00:27:38.200 court against

00:27:39.000 big pharma.

00:27:40.380 Vaccination

00:27:41.000 injuries have

00:27:41.720 been covered

00:27:42.220 up, and

00:27:42.700 families who

00:27:43.300 have seen

00:27:43.640 their children

00:27:44.180 hurt or

00:27:45.120 killed,

00:27:46.100 including the

00:27:46.720 development of

00:27:47.420 autism, of

00:27:48.140 course, have

00:27:49.260 been demonized 0.57

00:27:50.220 by a corrupt 0.61

00:27:51.120 medical

00:27:51.760 establishment.

00:27:53.300 This must

00:27:54.000 end now.

00:27:55.700 Ban these 0.99

00:27:56.200 ridiculous

00:27:56.760 vaccination courts 0.94

00:27:57.980 and force

00:27:58.640 big pharma

00:27:59.320 to pay out

00:28:00.460 for the

00:28:00.860 damages

00:28:01.340 that their

00:28:02.220 products have

00:28:03.100 caused.

00:28:04.520 Even though

00:28:05.380 the public

00:28:05.920 doesn't support

00:28:06.980 the vaccination

00:28:07.820 regime,

00:28:08.700 Democrats will 0.92

00:28:09.400 not make it

00:28:10.000 easy to have

00:28:10.720 it be repealed.

00:28:12.280 Pennsylvania

00:28:12.740 Governor

00:28:13.420 Josh Shapiro,

00:28:15.320 I call him

00:28:15.960 Little Josh

00:28:16.820 Shapiro,

00:28:17.800 announced that

00:28:18.500 he's suing

00:28:19.080 the Trump

00:28:19.520 administration

00:28:20.180 after sweeping

00:28:20.980 changes to

00:28:21.840 federal childhood

00:28:23.260 vaccination

00:28:23.940 guidance issued

00:28:24.820 by the

00:28:25.480 Center for

00:28:26.380 Disease Control

00:28:27.320 and Prevention.

00:28:29.820 The lawsuit,

00:28:31.220 joined by 15

00:28:32.920 Democrat-led

00:28:33.880 states,

00:28:34.520 targets HHS

00:28:36.200 Secretary Robert

00:28:37.280 F. Kennedy

00:28:37.900 for replacing

00:28:39.040 all 17

00:28:40.100 members of a

00:28:41.140 federal advisory

00:28:42.060 panel that

00:28:43.140 shapes national

00:28:44.060 vaccination

00:28:44.680 recommendations.

00:28:46.400 Shapiro, who

00:28:47.440 would like to

00:28:48.040 run for

00:28:48.420 president,

00:28:49.440 accused the

00:28:50.080 administration

00:28:50.520 of disregarding

00:28:51.940 quote-unquote

00:28:52.880 silence.

00:28:54.140 Here we go

00:28:54.760 again, and

00:28:55.860 vowed to

00:28:56.360 follow guidance

00:28:57.220 from outside

00:28:58.080 medical groups

00:28:59.020 instead.

00:29:00.440 But the

00:29:00.700 administration

00:29:01.120 states correctly

00:29:02.340 that the

00:29:02.740 overhaul does

00:29:03.720 the opposite,

00:29:04.620 restoring public

00:29:05.380 trust after

00:29:06.560 years of

00:29:07.220 these one-size-fits-all

00:29:08.980 mandates.

00:29:10.360 Following a

00:29:11.260 presidential

00:29:11.780 directive,

00:29:13.500 federal health

00:29:14.300 officials compared

00:29:15.460 U.S.

00:29:16.100 childhood

00:29:16.460 vaccination

00:29:17.160 schedules to

00:29:18.000 other developed

00:29:19.320 countries.

00:29:19.860 The review

00:29:21.240 found that

00:29:22.040 America

00:29:22.520 recommends

00:29:23.180 protection

00:29:23.700 against more

00:29:24.560 diseases

00:29:25.180 and administers

00:29:26.360 more of a

00:29:27.240 number of

00:29:28.060 total doses

00:29:28.820 than other

00:29:29.960 peer nations,

00:29:30.980 yet still

00:29:31.640 fails to

00:29:32.720 achieve higher

00:29:34.060 vaccination rates.

00:29:35.940 As a result,

00:29:37.180 the CDC

00:29:37.820 no longer

00:29:39.240 universally

00:29:39.940 recommends

00:29:40.700 several shots,

00:29:41.860 including certain

00:29:42.720 flu,

00:29:43.840 COVID-19,

00:29:45.360 hepatitis,

00:29:46.940 menginal

00:29:47.980 cockle,

00:29:48.660 and RSV

00:29:49.980 vaccinations.

00:29:51.660 Officials

00:29:52.180 say the

00:29:52.680 goal is

00:29:53.080 transparency

00:29:53.900 allowing

00:29:56.400 families,

00:29:57.620 not Washington

00:29:58.420 D.C.

00:29:58.960 bureaucrats,

00:29:59.880 who are

00:30:00.320 often paid

00:30:01.020 by Big

00:30:01.520 Pharma,

00:30:02.560 to weigh

00:30:02.980 risks and

00:30:03.720 benefits with

00:30:04.560 their doctors.

00:30:06.000 The lawsuit

00:30:06.600 highlights the

00:30:07.520 growing divide.

00:30:08.840 Government

00:30:09.240 authority

00:30:09.960 versus parental

00:30:11.260 autonomy.

00:30:12.820 Families

00:30:13.220 should not

00:30:13.840 be coerced

00:30:14.640 in taking

00:30:15.200 these shots,

00:30:16.260 which we

00:30:16.680 have seen

00:30:17.120 are often

00:30:17.640 unnecessary,

00:30:18.660 and in

00:30:19.100 some cases

00:30:19.680 even

00:30:20.120 dangerous,

00:30:21.020 more

00:30:21.380 dangerous

00:30:21.840 than the

00:30:22.280 diseases

00:30:22.800 they're

00:30:23.720 supposed to

00:30:24.100 be protecting

00:30:24.700 the public

00:30:25.280 from.

00:30:26.120 Governor

00:30:26.560 Shapiro

00:30:27.160 should be

00:30:27.760 ashamed of

00:30:28.260 himself for

00:30:28.780 joining on

00:30:29.240 this lawsuit,

00:30:30.380 but that is

00:30:30.880 little more

00:30:31.300 than a

00:30:31.620 political

00:30:31.920 ploy for

00:30:32.480 him to

00:30:32.740 gain

00:30:32.960 recognition

00:30:33.660 heading into

00:30:34.860 the

00:30:35.080 2028

00:30:35.960 presidential

00:30:36.560 race.

00:30:36.980 Perhaps

00:30:37.260 he's

00:30:37.540 hoping for

00:30:38.180 financing

00:30:39.180 from Big

00:30:39.780 Pharma for

00:30:40.440 that

00:30:40.700 presidential

00:30:41.340 campaign.

00:30:42.540 I predict

00:30:43.300 that he

00:30:43.800 goes

00:30:44.220 nowhere.

00:30:46.060 Meanwhile,

00:30:46.880 newly released

00:30:47.520 documents show

00:30:48.300 that several

00:30:49.020 severely

00:30:49.980 unethical and

00:30:50.960 perhaps illegal

00:30:51.780 levels of

00:30:52.480 political

00:30:52.820 coordination

00:30:53.600 between the

00:30:54.920 now dismissed

00:30:55.820 Georgia

00:30:56.480 prosecution of

00:30:57.560 President Donald

00:30:58.340 Trump and

00:30:59.940 state and

00:31:01.160 federal officials.

00:31:02.660 Records

00:31:02.940 obtained through

00:31:03.680 an open records

00:31:04.640 litigation show

00:31:05.640 that Folsom

00:31:06.800 County District

00:31:07.660 Attorney

00:31:08.300 Fonnie

00:31:09.120 Willis worked

00:31:09.880 closely with

00:31:10.580 officials tied

00:31:11.460 to the

00:31:11.800 Biden

00:31:12.100 White

00:31:12.380 House,

00:31:13.480 the

00:31:13.580 Department

00:31:13.960 of Justice,

00:31:15.180 and the

00:31:15.680 Congressional

00:31:16.240 January 6th

00:31:17.380 Committee while

00:31:17.920 building her

00:31:18.860 election-related

00:31:20.220 case against

00:31:21.000 President Trump

00:31:21.840 and a number

00:31:22.440 of his

00:31:22.900 allies.

00:31:24.040 According to

00:31:24.700 the communications,

00:31:25.860 lawyers for

00:31:26.440 President Joe

00:31:27.140 Biden waived

00:31:28.680 executive privilege

00:31:29.880 protections allowing

00:31:31.080 or requiring in

00:31:32.520 this case former

00:31:33.880 Trump administration

00:31:36.020 officials to

00:31:37.560 testify before a

00:31:38.680 state grand

00:31:39.480 jury, an

00:31:40.780 extraordinary

00:31:41.260 step that

00:31:42.100 blurred the

00:31:42.660 lines between

00:31:43.540 federal power

00:31:44.880 and local

00:31:45.780 prosecution.

00:31:47.540 Federal prosecutors

00:31:48.540 also facilitated

00:31:49.880 interviews and

00:31:50.840 shared congressional

00:31:51.700 transcripts, while

00:31:53.100 committee staff

00:31:53.840 reportedly offered

00:31:54.680 summaries of

00:31:55.480 witness testimony

00:31:56.280 and access to

00:31:58.160 classified internal

00:32:00.040 materials.

00:32:02.060 The Georgia

00:32:02.820 indictment of

00:32:03.580 the court ultimately

00:32:04.240 collapsed.

00:32:05.560 The court removed

00:32:06.400 Willis over

00:32:07.220 misconduct

00:32:07.880 concerns,

00:32:08.680 because of her

00:32:09.820 own scandalous

00:32:10.860 sexual dealings

00:32:11.860 in the workplace

00:32:12.660 and the charges

00:32:14.220 were dismissed

00:32:15.000 after President

00:32:16.120 Trump returned

00:32:16.800 to the White 0.57

00:32:17.320 House.

00:32:18.240 A state

00:32:19.040 appellate ruling

00:32:20.780 cited an

00:32:21.660 appearance of

00:32:22.340 impropriety

00:32:23.100 serious enough

00:32:24.220 to disqualify

00:32:25.160 her entire

00:32:26.160 prosecutorial

00:32:27.280 office.

00:32:28.620 Conservatives

00:32:29.220 argue the

00:32:29.880 revelations

00:32:30.560 confirmed long

00:32:31.440 held suspicions

00:32:32.320 that there was

00:32:32.980 a coordinated

00:32:34.340 legal effort

00:32:35.460 that was designed

00:32:36.300 to damage a

00:32:37.680 political

00:32:38.080 opponent

00:32:38.580 during an

00:32:39.780 election

00:32:40.180 cycle.

00:32:41.260 This was in

00:32:42.160 effect an

00:32:42.740 election

00:32:43.080 interference

00:32:43.740 conspiracy

00:32:44.620 waged by the

00:32:46.280 deep state

00:32:46.940 and the

00:32:47.460 Democrat

00:32:47.780 Party.

00:32:48.860 If federal

00:32:49.460 authorities

00:32:50.020 helped a

00:32:50.620 local prosecutor

00:32:51.640 pursue a

00:32:52.360 sitting

00:32:52.740 president's

00:32:53.420 challenger,

00:32:54.220 it undermines

00:32:55.220 public trust

00:32:56.240 and equal

00:32:56.920 justice under

00:32:57.860 law.

00:32:58.720 There's only

00:32:59.240 one way to

00:32:59.820 restore faith

00:33:00.620 in the process

00:33:01.480 and that is

00:33:02.640 to prosecute

00:33:03.400 those who

00:33:03.940 violated the

00:33:04.840 law.

00:33:05.820 The evidence

00:33:06.440 is there.

00:33:07.760 Now we

00:33:09.260 must need

00:33:10.460 and have

00:33:11.120 the political

00:33:11.700 will to

00:33:12.260 proceed.

00:33:13.280 Our current

00:33:13.880 attorney general

00:33:14.620 must bring

00:33:15.280 these nefarious

00:33:16.140 actors to

00:33:16.820 justice or

00:33:17.840 there'll be

00:33:18.180 nothing stopping

00:33:18.980 the bad guys

00:33:19.740 from doing

00:33:20.200 all of this

00:33:21.020 again the

00:33:21.960 first time

00:33:22.600 they get a

00:33:23.080 chance.

00:33:24.000 I'm Roger Stone.

00:33:30.080 politics for you

00:33:32.820 do please

00:33:33.900 don't go

00:33:34.540 The Stone

00:33:39.360 Zone

00:33:39.780 entertaining

00:33:40.820 and informative

00:33:42.060 on the Red

00:33:42.880 Apple Podcast

00:33:43.900 Network.

00:33:45.360 And you're

00:33:46.000 back in the

00:33:46.960 Stone Zone

00:33:47.640 and I'm your

00:33:48.340 host Roger Stone.

00:33:50.580 FBI Director

00:33:51.660 Cash Patel

00:33:52.840 has received a

00:33:53.680 lot of criticism

00:33:54.360 throughout his

00:33:55.460 first year leading

00:33:56.240 the FBI

00:33:56.900 particularly over

00:33:58.100 his handling of

00:33:58.840 the Epstein

00:33:59.320 files.

00:33:59.840 However Patel

00:34:01.040 his record as

00:34:01.820 a whole has

00:34:02.520 been actually

00:34:03.240 quite impressive

00:34:04.060 as he delivers

00:34:04.900 on his mandate

00:34:05.740 of restoring

00:34:06.880 law and order.

00:34:08.480 Internationally

00:34:09.120 of course U.S.

00:34:09.980 authorities captured

00:34:10.900 Venezuelan leader

00:34:11.940 Nicolas Maduro

00:34:13.480 on outstanding

00:34:14.360 drug related

00:34:15.620 charges alongside

00:34:16.680 a major

00:34:17.860 cartel

00:34:18.520 seizures totally

00:34:19.360 more than

00:34:19.880 2,000 kilograms

00:34:21.600 of fentanyl.

00:34:23.260 The bureau also

00:34:24.120 reports multiple

00:34:25.320 fugitives from

00:34:26.180 his 10 most

00:34:26.860 wanted list

00:34:27.520 arrested,

00:34:28.640 thousands of

00:34:29.400 criminal suspects

00:34:30.160 taken into

00:34:30.900 custody and

00:34:32.080 a large number

00:34:32.880 of missing

00:34:33.300 children recovered

00:34:34.320 through their

00:34:34.880 anti-trafficking

00:34:35.940 operations.

00:34:37.660 This is a huge

00:34:38.700 contrast from the

00:34:39.920 previous administration's

00:34:41.560 politicization of

00:34:43.100 federal policing as

00:34:44.180 they weaponize the

00:34:45.620 deep state spending

00:34:46.580 all of their energy

00:34:47.660 and efforts to go

00:34:48.880 after President Trump,

00:34:50.160 his allies,

00:34:51.000 and his supporters.

00:34:53.100 Investigations were

00:34:54.000 tied to protests

00:34:55.040 and political payback

00:34:56.120 rather than focusing

00:34:56.940 on violence

00:34:58.260 offenders.

00:34:59.160 As a result, 0.95

00:35:00.420 pedophiles, 0.99

00:35:01.640 murderers, 1.00

00:35:02.380 and illegal aliens

00:35:03.640 were able to run

00:35:04.600 roughshod over the

00:35:05.680 country.

00:35:06.760 The shift under

00:35:07.440 Patel's control

00:35:08.440 is to prioritize

00:35:09.300 national security,

00:35:11.300 fight drug trafficking,

00:35:12.580 and crimes against

00:35:13.700 children first.

00:35:15.260 And the numbers

00:35:15.880 do not lie.

00:35:17.520 Kash Patel's

00:35:18.180 leadership is working.

00:35:19.700 Of course,

00:35:20.160 we need to see

00:35:20.740 many deep state

00:35:21.600 criminals brought to

00:35:22.560 justice, which

00:35:23.260 hasn't happened yet.

00:35:24.220 But Patel is off

00:35:25.820 to a good start

00:35:26.580 in keeping the

00:35:27.220 streets safe.

00:35:28.320 The foundation

00:35:28.920 of the FBI

00:35:29.620 has been shored 0.94

00:35:30.540 up under Patel's

00:35:31.780 strong leadership.

00:35:33.460 And I was pleased

00:35:34.500 to see that he's

00:35:35.200 going to close

00:35:36.140 the J. Edgar

00:35:37.540 Hoover FBI

00:35:38.600 office in

00:35:39.440 Washington, D.C.,

00:35:40.680 which will save

00:35:42.000 millions of dollars.

00:35:44.040 The foundation

00:35:44.700 is, I think,

00:35:45.980 very strong.

00:35:47.120 The FBI is back

00:35:48.500 to their core

00:35:49.420 mission.

00:35:50.520 Now is the time,

00:35:51.480 however, to begin

00:35:52.400 to see progress

00:35:53.460 in the Russia

00:35:55.020 gate investigation

00:35:57.060 and prosecutions.

00:35:59.140 See, I believe

00:35:59.900 that there was

00:36:00.740 a seditious

00:36:03.440 conspiracy that

00:36:05.200 began in a

00:36:06.000 White House

00:36:06.440 office in

00:36:07.800 2016,

00:36:10.300 morphed into

00:36:11.280 the Russian

00:36:11.860 collusion hoax,

00:36:13.820 two completely

00:36:14.640 bogus

00:36:15.600 impeachment

00:36:16.760 trials against

00:36:17.780 President Donald

00:36:18.920 Trump.

00:36:19.820 Then, of course,

00:36:20.580 there was the

00:36:21.440 theft of the

00:36:22.560 2020 election,

00:36:24.400 which I think

00:36:25.120 more and more

00:36:26.200 evidence will

00:36:26.980 become public

00:36:28.240 here shortly.

00:36:29.880 Then, of course,

00:36:31.220 the January 6th

00:36:33.180 Fed

00:36:33.640 surrection,

00:36:35.180 followed by the

00:36:36.200 raid on a

00:36:37.160 sitting president's

00:36:38.300 home in Florida,

00:36:39.880 and, of course,

00:36:41.160 Arctic Frost.

00:36:42.340 That was an

00:36:42.900 extra

00:36:43.420 constitutional

00:36:44.800 effort to frame

00:36:46.460 the president of

00:36:47.760 the United States,

00:36:49.160 to keep him off

00:36:50.060 the ballot,

00:36:51.260 to impoverish him,

00:36:53.180 and, well,

00:36:54.200 to put him in

00:36:55.140 prison.

00:36:56.120 Now is the time

00:36:57.500 for all of

00:36:58.600 these crimes

00:36:59.320 under a Florida

00:37:00.780 grand jury to be

00:37:01.960 exposed,

00:37:02.940 and for people

00:37:03.900 to be held

00:37:05.160 accountable.

00:37:06.580 The far left

00:37:07.500 says it's about

00:37:08.260 revenge and

00:37:09.160 retaliation,

00:37:10.160 but I say it's

00:37:11.500 about accountability

00:37:12.560 and justice,

00:37:14.120 and for that,

00:37:15.260 I continue to

00:37:16.340 pray.

00:37:17.160 I'm Roger Stone.

00:37:53.800 new episode

00:37:54.360 so you never

00:37:55.380 have to wonder.

00:37:56.380 What the heck

00:37:57.120 is going on 0.58

00:37:57.900 here?

00:37:58.700 Rural Americans

00:37:59.420 deserve access

00:38:00.340 to the best

00:38:01.240 our nation has

00:38:02.300 to offer,

00:38:02.880 especially when

00:38:03.660 it comes to

00:38:04.140 healthcare.

00:38:04.780 Across every

00:38:05.420 state and

00:38:05.880 every community,

00:38:06.860 America's rural

00:38:07.760 hospitals are the

00:38:08.760 first line of

00:38:09.640 defense protecting

00:38:10.580 our families,

00:38:11.580 neighbors, and

00:38:12.120 loved ones.

00:38:12.860 No matter where

00:38:13.400 you live,

00:38:13.920 hospital care doesn't

00:38:14.860 clock out.

00:38:15.580 They're there

00:38:15.900 24 hours a

00:38:16.840 day, seven

00:38:17.380 days a week,

00:38:18.100 365 days a

00:38:19.920 year.

00:38:20.240 Each year,

00:38:20.840 America's over 0.56

00:38:21.760 5,000 hospitals

00:38:23.120 care for millions

00:38:24.000 of patients

00:38:24.600 providing 24-7

00:38:26.040 emergency care,

00:38:27.200 delivering babies,

00:38:28.320 cancer treatments,

00:38:29.180 and other

00:38:29.640 life-saving care

00:38:30.640 that patients

00:38:31.340 rely on.

00:38:32.100 Behind every

00:38:32.680 one of those

00:38:33.180 patients are

00:38:33.740 doctors, nurses,

00:38:35.160 and caregivers

00:38:35.740 working tirelessly

00:38:36.960 to keep people

00:38:37.840 healthy and safe.

00:38:39.080 Hospitals are

00:38:39.840 our community's

00:38:40.840 lifelines.

00:38:41.320 They employ our

00:38:42.460 neighbors and keep

00:38:43.500 our families

00:38:44.220 health, but now

00:38:45.320 some in Congress

00:38:46.180 are threatening

00:38:46.780 access to care.

00:38:47.940 Tell Congress,

00:38:48.960 protect patient

00:38:49.960 care to keep

00:38:50.980 America strong.

00:38:52.280 Don't cut rural

00:38:53.620 health care.

00:38:54.300 Don't cut rural

00:38:55.380 health care.
