The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 02-27-25

00:00:00.000 Welcome, I'm Roger Stone and this is the Stone

00:00:28.160 Zone on the Red Apple Audio Network. This is where you get your daily fix on politics and we give you a

00:00:35.860 behind-the-scenes look about what's really going on in Disneyland on the Potomac, also known as

00:00:42.740 Washington, D.C. On this day in history, 55 years ago, being February 27, 1970, President Richard

00:00:51.920 Milhouse Nixon delivered remarks via radio hookup to astronauts aboard the Apollo 13

00:00:57.920 recovery ship, the USS Hornet. This was part of President Nixon's engagement with the space

00:01:04.060 program. Although tragically, this would be overshadowed later by the Apollo 13 crisis in

00:01:10.160 April of that year, it was a symbolic moment reflecting his administration's continued

00:01:15.780 support for NASA. I heard this great clip last night, which really kind of summed up what I

00:01:22.940 think. Here's heavyweight champion Floyd Mayweather. I'm happy, but we're never happy. When we had

00:01:30.820 Trump before, we didn't appreciate him, but I think Trump is a great president. Actually,

00:01:38.340 he's the best president. In my eyes, he's the best president we ever had. Great businessman,

00:01:44.380 man. And that's what it's about. The champ said it all under Donald Trump. I really think we are

00:01:49.960 headed for a golden age here in America. That is an unprecedented age of peace, prosperity,

00:01:57.420 transparency, security, justice, and yes, law and order. In that regard, President Trump has

00:02:04.120 announced that China will be charged an additional 10% tariff, which begins on March 4th. Don't mess

00:02:11.300 around with Donald Trump. Trump pointed to China's role in the production of the deadly drug fentanyl

00:02:17.740 as part of his decision to levy a heavier tax on China. A large percentage of these drugs,

00:02:24.840 much of them in the form of fentanyl, are made in and supplied by China, Trump wrote last night on

00:02:30.220 True Social. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous

00:02:36.080 and highly addictive poisons. Millions of Americans and millions of people have died over the last

00:02:42.500 two decades. The families of the victims are devastated and in many instances, virtually

00:02:48.080 destroyed. Trump will also be instituting his previously proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada

00:02:54.200 due to their role in allowing this flow of fentanyl through our borders to poison Americans.

00:03:00.140 Drugs are still pouring into our country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels,

00:03:06.780 the President said. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore,

00:03:12.420 until it stops or until it is seriously limited, the proposed tariffs scheduled to go into effect

00:03:17.820 on March 4th will indeed go into effect as scheduled. China will likewise be charged an additional

00:03:24.960 10% tariff on that date. The April 2nd reciprocal tariff date will remain in full force and effect.

00:03:32.100 Thank you for your attention to this matter, and God bless America. Now, I know Donald Trump. I think

00:03:37.580 at heart he is a free trader, meaning he wants fair reciprocal trade. That's trade where both trading

00:03:44.420 partners benefit. The trade deals that really brought Donald Trump to politics, the one-size-fits-all

00:03:52.000 trade deals, in which our trading benefits benefited mightily, but we didn't benefit at all. Those days

00:03:59.240 are over. Trump has also proposed replacing the Internal Revenue Service and getting away with the income

00:04:06.160 tax, replacing that revenue with tariffs, which is what this country did until 1913. He's serious about this,

00:04:14.700 folks. It's very, very real. Now, there's a controversy between Pam Bondi and FBI Director

00:04:23.740 Kash Patel over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents and records. Now, I was one of the first

00:04:31.400 authors in the country to report on Jeffrey Epstein. If you go back to my book, The Clinton's War on Women,

00:04:38.020 published in 2015, the longest chapter in the book is about Jeffrey Epstein. It was Jeffrey Epstein who

00:04:45.360 put up the initial seed financing for the Clinton Foundation. It was Jeffrey Epstein who put up the

00:04:51.720 original financing for the Clinton Global Initiative. But now we have seemingly an internal administration

00:05:00.200 conflict. Now, I have a very high regard for Attorney General Pam Bondi. I know her well personally. 0.91

00:05:06.320 I have an equally high regard for FBI Director Kash Patel, another personal friend. In a letter

00:05:13.940 released earlier, Pam Bondi wrote, before you came into office, I requested a full and complete file

00:05:20.960 set related to Jeffrey. In response to this request, I received about 200 pages of documents, which

00:05:27.860 consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone

00:05:35.280 numbers. I should point out that I had both the flight logs and the Epstein little black book,

00:05:41.620 his list of contacts, all contained in my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women. By the way,

00:05:48.240 I do that with full attribution with Nick Bryant, who's going to be joining us in the Stone Zone this

00:05:54.660 Sunday. I repeatedly questioned, Bondi said, that there were a full set of documents responsive to my

00:06:00.860 request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received a full set of documents.

00:06:07.200 Late yesterday, however, I learned from a source that the FBI field office in New York was in

00:06:13.280 position of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and the indictment of Epstein.

00:06:20.700 Despite my repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files. When you and I spoke

00:06:27.300 yesterday, Bondi wrote, you were just as surprised as I was to learn this new information. By 8 a.m.

00:06:34.940 tomorrow, that would be February 28th, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my

00:06:41.800 office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey

00:06:48.840 Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained. There will be no

00:06:55.880 withholding or limitations to my or your access. The Department of Justice will ensure that any

00:07:02.580 public disclosure of these files will be done in a manner to protect the privacy of the victims

00:07:08.260 and in accordance with law, as I have done my entire career as a prosecutor. Bondi writes,

00:07:15.160 I am also directing you to conduct an immediate investigation into why my order to the FBI was not

00:07:20.780 followed. You will deliver to me a comprehensive report of your findings and propose personal

00:07:26.780 action within 14 days. I appreciate your immediate attention to this important matter. I know that we

00:07:33.500 are both committed to transparency for the American people, and I look forward to working with you to

00:07:39.000 serve our president and our country. This is kind of what I expected to have happen. You see, I'm far

00:07:46.240 more interested rather than seeing the FAA manifest, which we've already seen, or seeing the flight logs

00:07:55.840 that have been a little black book, pardon me, that has already been disclosed. But my real interest is

00:08:03.280 in the DVDs and the hard drives that the FBI retrieved from the safe of Jeffrey Epstein, both in his New

00:08:12.240 York palatial home and his home on Epstein Island. Stay tuned to this developing story.

00:08:21.200 One of my favorite actors, Gene Hackman, passed away at the age of 95. Now, the producers with

00:08:28.060 Zero Mostel and Gene Hackman is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. Hackman also starred in classic

00:08:35.460 American films, including Superman, The French Connection, Hoosiers, Unforgiven, Bonnie and Clyde,

00:08:41.340 Enemy of the State, Crimson Tide, and the Royal Tenenbaums. Gene Hackman and his wife and dog were

00:08:48.320 found dead in their Santa Fe home. Authorities are calling their deaths suspicious. Don't go away,

00:08:53.680 because you're in the Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:09:01.060 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine. What's your secret?

00:09:04.640 Goya coconut milk. How does it taste so good?

00:09:07.000 It's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich, creamy texture.

00:09:11.240 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:09:13.460 None. Just smooth, coconutty goodness.

00:09:16.520 What can I make with it?

00:09:17.640 From curries to sweet treats like coconut flan, the possibilities are endless.

00:09:23.000 Goya coconut milk. Take your cooking to the next level. No question about it. Find it in the Goya

00:09:27.540 section of your local grocery store. If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:09:31.000 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:09:44.700 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:09:48.480 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:09:50.860 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:09:54.520 Now they treated him very unfairly.

00:09:56.720 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.

00:10:00.900 Here's Roger Stone.

00:10:03.760 Welcome back to the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:10:09.820 Only yesterday we talked about the fact that FBI Director James Comey initiated an off-the-books operation

00:10:17.500 to infiltrate Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign with two extremely attractive undercover spies working for the FBI.

00:10:27.580 Their assignment was to compromise sexually members of the Trump staff to try to collect dirt on Trump or his campaign. 0.97

00:10:35.140 But the real villain to me is former CIA Director John Brennan.

00:10:40.380 Now, the first month of the Trump administration has been serendipitous with bureaucrats being put on the defensive

00:10:45.960 and corrupt acts becoming unearthed through the Doge Task Force every single day.

00:10:51.240 But as the new revelations come to pass, the egregious behavior that happened in the past must not be forgotten or forgiven.

00:10:57.800 And those individuals most responsible for calling the shots must be punished accordingly.

00:11:03.160 Former CIA Director John Brennan is more culpable than perhaps anyone else in the genesis of Russiagate.

00:11:09.680 Even though he was fired immediately by President Trump upon his initial arrival in the White House,

00:11:15.380 Brennan sowed the seeds of Trump's destruction behind the scenes throughout his campaign and during the presidential transition.

00:11:22.360 Brennan's subversive stain permeated through Trump's four-year term and caused immeasurable damage to this country.

00:11:29.180 Brennan was aware that the infamous Steele dossier that was used to justify the FISA warrants to spy on Trump's campaign staff was a fraud.

00:11:38.240 His claim that Russian intelligence hacked the Democrat National Committee with an online tack has never been proven.

00:11:44.780 I know from my own trial that the government has no actual proof of an online hack.

00:11:50.840 But Brennan, true to CIA form, laundered this dubious information into the public mindset as part of his cynical campaign to undermine Trump.

00:12:00.520 John Brennan is an admitted communist.

00:12:02.600 He admitted that he voted for the communist candidate for president in the 80s.

00:12:07.540 He also is the man who lied under oath to the Senate about spying on a Senate committee and wiretapping and online surveillance of Senate staffers who were investigating his illegal use of torture.

00:12:23.100 He's also the man who, as the station chief in RIDA, signed the visa for four of the hijackers who attacked America on 9-11.

00:12:34.600 Add on top of that the fact that it was Brennan who was the father, the orchestrator of the entire Russian collusion hoax.

00:12:44.000 The Durham report provides undisputable evidence that Brennan briefed President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden about the Steele dossier, which he knew was a fraud because he was fully aware of the fact that Hillary Clinton's campaign plotted to use it to frame Trump as a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

00:13:03.640 Brennan also shamefully set up over two dozen Trump advisors, one of whom will join us today, George Papadopoulos, for surveillance by the corrupt U.S. intelligence apparatus.

00:13:15.300 You see, what they did was to go to the so-called Five Eyes, the English-speaking nation's intelligence services, that's England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and so on, urging them to surveil, he said, bump, that means spy on, 26 Americans who were friends or associates of Donald Trump.

00:13:37.000 I was one of those 26 people. My guest today, George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign advisor who was later falsely charged and convicted in the Russian collusion hoax, was another of the 26.

00:13:51.360 Brennan was also instrumental in the illegal FISA warrants. The FISA court is a special court set up to approve warrants and wiretaps on American citizens, and these were deployed in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election,

00:14:06.260 which targeted Trump's most vocal supporters. According to Newsmax, a U.S. court found in 2023 that misuse of the FISA courts extended far beyond the mere targeting of Trump backers, citing the FBI, saying they found the mechanism had been used improperly 300,000 times in recent years to illegally spy on American citizens.

00:14:29.240 Brennan was also involved in the electoral interference and censorship program that helped screw Trump out of his rightful second term in 2020.

00:14:36.820 It was John Brennan who was among the 51 former intelligence officials who penned a letter proclaiming the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop as, quote,

00:14:45.380 Russian disinformation and propaganda, which is an absurd falsehood promulgated by strong-armed woke social media corporations into putting a Big Brother censorship apparatus in place to keep the legitimate story of Hunter Biden's laptop,

00:15:00.860 much of which was revealed right here on the Red Apple Audio Network, from impacting the minds of voters on Election Day.

00:15:07.420 Brennan and his deep state co-conspirators, actually accurately called spies who lied by the New York Post, are finding it difficult to poke the fact that the public refused to buy their nonsense and re-elected Trump to his historic second term in what was the greatest single comeback in American political history.

00:15:27.420 Yes, Brennan and his fellow federal apparatchiks see themselves as the sagacious gatekeepers who possess a holy mandate in determining who should be the leader of the free world.

00:15:40.800 It is this cabal, those who are the arbiters of democracy, not the will of the people, as that term's traditional definition is accepted,

00:15:49.840 who, according to this self-serving ideologue, are above the law.

00:15:54.160 Last night, I saw Brennan on X complaining that he was on Kash Patel's hit list.

00:16:00.480 Well, of course you are, John. That's because there's substantial evidence that you are guilty of treason.

00:16:06.280 And for the crime of treason, there is no statute of limitations.

00:16:10.600 The likes of John Brennan has lorded over Washington, D.C. for far too long.

00:16:15.080 As a result, we have a limitless debt, endless wars, the unconstitutional expansion of power, and the decimation of fundamental rights.

00:16:23.460 But like Vice President J.D. Vance says, there's a new sheriff in town, and Sheriff Trump is putting bad hombres like Brennan to justice.

00:16:32.520 Because of his long history of anti-American behavior, John Brennan would certainly be the perfectly disgraced official to make it into a harsh example.

00:16:40.740 Brennan confessed during a lie detector test, as I said earlier, that he had been an operative for the Communist Party of America during four different election cycles.

00:16:49.320 Due to institutional rot, this startling revelation somehow did not preclude Brennan from serving in the CIA.

00:16:57.380 Now, former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo, he's also been with us here on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:17:04.620 He was a crucial leader of the FBI's counterterrorism efforts following the September 11th attacks,

00:17:10.420 revealed that Brennan himself actually converted to radical Islam, becoming a Wahhabist in an ornate ceremony while working as the CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.

00:17:23.160 Talk about a conflict of interest.

00:17:25.400 Brennan's connections made him the perfect CIA director, as President Barack Hussein Obama corroded every American institution to soften the nation up for its collapse into socialism.

00:17:37.200 Brennan was the perfect CIA director to funnel arms and money into the hands of ISIS militants as they wreaked havoc across the Middle East and Europe.

00:17:48.520 He was the perfect CIA director to oversee the Russiagate frame job against President Donald Trump.

00:17:55.340 And he will be the first CIA director, perhaps the first in history, the first in the history of the agency's existence, in fact, to face treason charges.

00:18:03.960 And then, of course, after being convicted due to overwhelming evidence of guilt, he could indeed receive corporal punishment as an enemy of the American Republic,

00:18:13.700 because the penalty for treason is capital punishment.

00:18:17.740 This is Roger Stone.

00:18:19.060 You're in the Stone Zone.

00:18:20.280 Don't go away, because George Papadopoulos, one of the victims of the Russian hoax, joins us next.

00:18:33.960 This is the Stone Zone.

00:18:48.280 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:18:50.240 It's the Stone Zone.

00:18:52.280 Here's Roger Stone.

00:18:56.500 Welcome back.

00:18:57.960 You're in the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:19:02.240 First, with breaking news, after two years of confinement, Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania.

00:19:11.000 Now, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan Tate, are proponents of mental and physical fitness, sobriety, responsibility, spirituality, patriotism, and, yes, masculinity.

00:19:24.780 That makes them hated among those who have the woke mind virus.

00:19:30.420 Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, said yesterday, Romania rightly decided it did not have the evidence needed to hold the Tate brothers any longer.

00:19:42.180 Today, Andrew and Tristan Tate are free.

00:19:46.400 They have landed at an undisclosed location somewhere in Florida, and all eyes are now on their Florida defamation case.

00:19:55.300 The Tate brothers were prosecuted on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized criminal group to sexually exploit women.

00:20:05.080 But now, Romanian officials admit that they lack the evidence to prosecute them for that crime.

00:20:11.800 Upon the news that the Tate brothers had touched down in Florida, however, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that, well, Florida Attorney General is now looking at them to see what state hooks and jurisdictions we may have to be able to deal with this.

00:20:28.120 Listen to Ron DeSantis.

00:20:29.220 Is he welcome here with the state to send back Romania or whatever?

00:20:35.100 We have no involvement in that.

00:20:37.020 I read about it through the media.

00:20:38.960 Clearly, the federal government has jurisdiction whether they want to rebuff his entry into the United States.

00:20:45.000 And I have confidence that whether it's Pam Bondi or Kristi Noem that they will be looking at that.

00:20:49.440 I do know our Attorney General, James Uthmeyer, is looking at what state hooks and jurisdiction we may have to be able to deal with this.

00:21:00.660 But the reality is, no, Florida is not a place where you're welcome with that type of conduct in the air.

00:21:09.920 And I don't know how it came to this.

00:21:11.800 We were not involved.

00:21:13.260 We were not notified.

00:21:14.400 I found out through the media that this was something that was happening.

00:21:17.440 Hey, Governor DeSantis, whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

00:21:23.540 If the Romanian officials who were hostile now admit that they didn't have any such evidence against the Tate brothers,

00:21:30.160 what makes you believe that you can find such evidence?

00:21:34.060 Joining me now is one of the victims of the Russian collusion hoax.

00:21:40.100 George Papadopoulos is a former foreign policy advisor to both President Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson's presidential campaign.

00:21:48.560 From 2011 to 2015, he worked as a research associate at the Hudson Institute, as well as the director of the London Center for International Law.

00:21:59.840 He is currently a contributor to numerous media outlets and the bestselling author of Deep State Target,

00:22:08.340 how I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.

00:22:13.800 George Papadopoulos joins us now in the Stone Zone.

00:22:18.060 Roger, it's a real pleasure to be with you.

00:22:19.640 Thank you for having me.

00:22:20.340 You know, George, things are moving so quickly.

00:22:24.560 I was very anxious to get you on today because you, like me, were a victim of the Russian collusion hoax.

00:22:32.320 It turned your life upside down.

00:22:34.700 I want to ask you off the top, what are your thoughts on the report that Kash Patel's FBI is now investigating former FBI Director James Comey's off-the-books operation,

00:22:50.300 what we call a honeypot operation, against the 2016 Trump campaign.

00:22:55.140 This is where Comey sent two very attractive undercover FBI agents into the Trump campaign in an attempt to sexually compromise members of the Trump staff 0.99

00:23:08.740 and to try to collect dirt on Donald Trump or his campaign.

00:23:14.020 Your reaction?

00:23:15.220 I think this is Exhibit A in promises made, promises kept by President Trump and the Trump administration.

00:23:21.940 This is looking to be the most transparent administration in modern American history,

00:23:27.920 and it looks like accountability is coming to those who committed egregious violations against Americans,

00:23:35.360 including those who worked on the 2016 Donald Trump campaign, President Trump, the administration,

00:23:41.440 and attempted to disenfranchise 75 to 80 million voters who supported President Trump and the MAGA movement.

00:23:49.940 The reason why this development is so jaw-dropping, Roger, is because this is the first time that in modern history, I believe,

00:24:00.500 that an FBI director has looked at members of a campaign in the heated, in the middle of a campaign season,

00:24:10.220 and said, we need to target these folks, and how are we going to target them?

00:24:13.780 We're not going to do it with an adequate predicate.

00:24:15.780 We're not going to use probable cause.

00:24:18.340 We're not going to use the Constitution or the rule of law or a just effort.

00:24:26.100 We're going to basically try to frame them and set them up.

00:24:29.180 And that's why James Comey, according to this bombshell report,

00:24:32.720 had an off-the-books investigation into people like myself,

00:24:36.600 others that were way before the launch of the crossfire hurricane investigation in the summer of 2016.

00:24:45.640 So what this really showcases is that Donald Trump and his advisors were essentially framed,

00:24:52.380 just like Joseph Stalin said, show me the man, I'll find you the crime.

00:24:56.380 They were planting dirt, planting evidence,

00:24:59.200 to then create a fake pretext to go after President Trump and his administration.

00:25:04.420 And it is now just being exposed.

00:25:07.320 And this is something that I think all Americans, Roger, on the left, the center, and the right,

00:25:12.180 should be resoundedly applauding.

00:25:14.640 So, George, did you have any direct experience with this honeypot operation,

00:25:19.120 and did you yourself sleep with either one of them?

00:25:21.900 I did not sleep with any honeypots.

00:25:25.420 There were certainly efforts to seduce me and to compromise me in that effort.

00:25:32.980 That's something that did happen.

00:25:36.400 I was smart enough to evade that.

00:25:38.420 I was a single man at the time.

00:25:39.880 I wasn't married.

00:25:40.540 So, you know, it was actually very strange that, you know,

00:25:46.100 they would just go after a single guy instead of somebody who was married

00:25:49.740 or had a family with these honeypots to try and sabotage them the way that they could have others. 0.52

00:25:54.720 But I know, Roger, I was smart enough to not only evade the grips of the honeypots,

00:26:00.840 but numerous other assets, both domestic and global.

00:26:04.820 I knew the answer to that question before I asked it, but I had to ask.

00:26:08.940 So let me ask you this.

00:26:11.860 What do you think of the reports that former CIA Director John Brennan was sending spies in the Trump campaign?

00:26:20.660 And that now seems to be getting overshadowed in the wake of this Comey news.

00:26:25.800 In an earlier segment, I mentioned that it was John Brennan who went to the so-called Five Eyes,

00:26:33.380 the English-speaking nations and their intelligence agencies and sent them a list of 26 individual associates

00:26:41.060 and supporters of Donald Trump and urged them to, quote, bump those people.

00:26:47.600 I was one of them.

00:26:48.800 You were one of them.

00:26:49.940 Carter Page was one of them.

00:26:52.680 Unfortunately, this story, which I think is a bombshell, kind of got lost in the shuffle.

00:26:57.540 Yeah, I think it got lost in the shuffle only because every single day or week we're starting to see really how pervasive

00:27:06.800 the rotting corruption in Washington, D.C. and institutions around the world really are.

00:27:13.500 One day you have a story about USAID and how less than 1% of the U.S. federal budget was earmarked

00:27:20.540 to basically a regime change abroad and to financing leftist propaganda at home

00:27:27.580 that was designed to spread propaganda and disinformation against candidate Trump,

00:27:33.000 the MAGA movement, and to attack traditional conservative values.

00:27:37.200 Then a week later, you have this honeypot information coming out about the former director of the FBI.

00:27:43.920 And then you have the Epstein files being released.

00:27:47.140 So, of course, every single week there's some new disturbing allegation or evidence

00:27:54.040 that links directly to the Obama administration or the Obama or the Biden administration

00:27:59.140 or high-level Democrats.

00:28:01.040 Now, you're absolutely right.

00:28:02.460 We cannot forget the core of what the scandal really was,

00:28:07.180 and that was that President Obama at the time weaponized not only domestic intelligence

00:28:13.480 but foreign intelligence in a true collusion effort to sabotage the 2016 Trump campaign

00:28:20.600 and then to spy on that campaign and to try to derail his presidency.

00:28:25.100 President Trump survived this by going on offense.

00:28:28.400 He survived it by having very strong allies who were thrown into fire the way you were,

00:28:35.440 the way I was, the way General Flynn were, and we did not fold.

00:28:38.380 We fought back, and we just stuck to the truth of Roger.

00:28:41.380 We got it out there, and now these people are probably going to be prosecuted,

00:28:45.360 and that's a very good thing.

00:28:46.840 Folks, you're listening to The Stone Zone on the Reddit Apple Audio Network,

00:29:32.880 We'd love to talk business.

00:29:34.680 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:29:51.140 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:29:54.880 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:29:57.260 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:30:00.880 Now they treated him very unfairly.

00:30:03.140 Now, get him a zone.

00:30:05.340 It's The Stone Zone.

00:30:07.360 Here's Roger Stone.

00:30:11.600 We're talking to George Papadopoulos, former foreign policy advisor to President Donald Trump,

00:30:18.380 and the author of the best-selling book,

00:30:21.640 The Deep State Target,

00:30:23.100 How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Donald Trump.

00:30:27.840 First of all, George, you and your lovely Italian wife, Simona, have a new podcast on X.

00:30:35.660 Tell us about that.

00:30:36.900 Yes, thanks.

00:30:37.700 Thank you for that, Roger.

00:30:38.980 We've actually had the honor and the privilege to have you as one of our first guests on Global View.

00:30:45.360 It's a new show that we've launched on YouTube just a few weeks ago, and it's really taking off.

00:30:53.380 We're around episode 19 now.

00:30:56.040 And what it really is attempting to do is to bring in influencers, cultural icons, and political powerhouses

00:31:05.800 from not only the United States but globally for very in-depth, interesting conversations to discuss the world post-Trump 2024 election victory

00:31:18.100 and how it's really shaken up so many various industries.

00:31:21.140 It's been very fun.

00:31:23.360 It's been thrilling, and we're very proud to see it grow.

00:31:29.260 Well, we wish you the very, very best of luck with that.

00:31:33.480 Now, here's a question for you.

00:31:35.380 The chief prosecutor in my case, Aaron Zielinski, was also a prosecutor in your case.

00:31:40.340 We now know, based on a report on just the news, that he altered FBI 302 documents.

00:31:50.020 Those are the documents that memorialize the questioning of a suspect or a target by the FBI.

00:32:00.420 He actually altered your 302 in order to frame you so that you would be convicted.

00:32:06.320 Do you think that Aaron Zielinski, who resigned as the assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore only weeks ago,

00:32:15.600 should be disbarred and prosecuted along with James Comey?

00:32:21.460 Roger, my very intimate experience with Mr. Zielinski was very disturbing, to say the least.

00:32:30.440 This was a ruthless person that would go to any extent to shred normalcy, the rule of law, and the Constitution

00:32:41.380 to basically get a fake conviction in pursuit of political power for what I think were his ultimate clients,

00:32:50.660 and that is the Democrat Party.

00:32:52.020 I've always said it from day one, the Mueller investigation was there to cover up for the illegal activities of the Comey-era FBI

00:33:03.300 and all of the issues that we're now just learning about what Comey was really up to against Donald Trump

00:33:09.280 and his campaign and the administration.

00:33:11.760 So certainly, if Comey is launching illegal operations and investigations, not only without predicate,

00:33:20.460 but which are completely off the books, and that the CIA is using foreign governments to do their dirty work,

00:33:27.460 like you explained and you referenced the reporting about that,

00:33:31.200 and Zelensky was then afterwards appointed along with Mueller to try to cover it up

00:33:38.560 and to try to frame not only myself but you and to try and rewrite history by framing President Trump

00:33:46.860 as a Russian operative and then to probably have him impeached and convicted,

00:33:52.840 then certainly I think rogue people like that should certainly be prosecuted, disbarred,

00:33:58.400 and showcased to the American people as an example for what should never happen again in this country.

00:34:05.900 So you were, as I recall, and I read your terrific book, Deep State Target,

00:34:10.780 how I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.

00:34:14.520 You were entrapped by a mysterious professor, college professor, named Mifsud.

00:34:21.080 Tell us about that.

00:34:22.300 Yes, it goes exactly into how you described the foreign elements with the CIA.

00:34:30.520 After I stopped working on the Ben Carson campaign, after he dropped out and he endorsed candidate Trump,

00:34:36.360 I then joined the Trump campaign, and I had been based in London for some time before and after working on the Trump campaign,

00:34:45.020 and I had been working at an institute in London which was basically filled with former Western diplomats,

00:34:54.920 former ambassadors, people that would work with the State Department,

00:34:59.460 extremely Western-allied, Western-oriented, nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do with the East in general,

00:35:08.080 and it was through this institute that facilitated this meeting at another university in Rome called Link Campus,

00:35:17.000 which, according to David Ignatius, trains people like the CIA and the FBI.

00:35:23.620 And I meet him, and one day, unsolicited, after having a couple meetings with this person,

00:35:30.980 trying to understand what Western connections he has, as somebody that was a foreign policy advisor,

00:35:36.320 he tells me, A, that the Russians have Hillary's emails.

00:35:39.440 Now, later, this person's gone hiding, Roger, for the last eight years.

00:35:44.700 This was a person that was making his living networking in Washington, D.C., London, and Brussels.

00:35:52.260 And the way he's gone underground and has been at the center of four different investigations,

00:35:57.880 from Comey all the way to Durham, I think he's being covered up.

00:36:02.620 I think the John Durham investigation covered him up.

00:36:05.860 Certainly Comey and Mueller did, too.

00:36:07.980 But I think, finally, Roger, with Cash Fatale as the director of the FBI,

00:36:13.280 John Ratcliffe at the head of the CIA, and your friend Tulsi Gabbard at DNI,

00:36:19.400 who's an absolutely wonderful pick and patriot,

00:36:22.940 I think we will finally have some of these records declassified.

00:36:26.200 I think we'll finally have some transparency into who is running this operation,

00:36:31.520 including people like John Brennan, who's sweating bullets right now, just like Comey is.

00:36:35.660 And then, hopefully, people like MIFSA do come in front of the halls of Congress

00:36:39.140 and tell the American people exactly what he was up to,

00:36:42.460 who was telling him to set me up,

00:36:44.420 and for him to point fingers and to hold those people accountable.

00:36:48.180 One of the greatest pieces of television I ever saw

00:36:51.200 was Congressman Matt Gaetz grilling Special Counsel John Durham

00:36:55.780 about why he couldn't find Professor MIFSA.

00:36:59.440 I mean, he has the FBI, the CIA, and the Department of Justice at his command,

00:37:05.620 but they still couldn't find this mysterious college professor who set you up.

00:37:11.880 Not credible.

00:37:13.420 John Durham's report took five long years.

00:37:16.940 Why?

00:37:17.200 Well, he wanted to make sure the statute of limitations had run out

00:37:20.640 so that neither Vice President Joe Biden or President Barack Obama

00:37:26.400 or National Security Advisor Susan Rice or FBI Director James Comey

00:37:31.760 or CIA Director John Brennan or Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe

00:37:39.540 could be prosecuted.

00:37:41.940 And then Durham prosecutes a man at the very bottom of the totem pole,

00:37:46.560 a lawyer named Michael Sussman,

00:37:48.920 which is like charging the guy who drove the getaway car for double parking

00:37:54.180 while you let the bank robbers get away.

00:37:56.300 And in the District of Columbia, even he was acquitted.

00:38:01.120 There can be no fair trial of any Trump supporter, any Republican,

00:38:06.300 any independent thinker, any non-Democrat in the District of Columbia.

00:38:12.300 I want to thank my guest, George Papadopoulos, for joining us today.

00:38:16.260 In the Stone Zone, again, his book, Deep State Target,

00:38:19.840 how I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.

00:38:25.560 It is, I think he's in total agreement with me when I say

00:38:30.500 that America is about to embark on a golden age.

00:38:34.780 It is nothing less than an unprecedented age of peace, prosperity, security, transparency,

00:38:43.520 security, and justice.

00:38:46.060 These are going to be the greatest days in American history.

00:38:50.620 And as President Donald Trump told us, paraphrasing Al Jolson,

00:38:55.800 you ain't heard nothing yet.

00:38:58.180 Folks, this is the age of Trump, and you can get all the inside skinny every day,

00:39:05.280 five days a week, right here on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:39:09.980 I thank you for joining us today in the Stone Zone.
