00:00:00.000 this is the stone zone with roger stone people love him and respect him roger stone

00:00:16.160 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:00:22.220 this is a roger stone and you're entering the stone zone here on the red apple audio networks

00:00:31.240 donald trump addressed the congress last night for the first time since reclaiming the presidency

00:00:36.760 trump is a colossus he is a force of nature as i watched him speak last night i couldn't help

00:00:44.620 but marvel about the greatest single political comeback in american history but i believe

00:00:50.420 america is back because donald trump is back i first met donald trump in 1979 when i was sent to

00:00:58.180 new york to organize governor ronald reagan's successful campaign for the president see where

00:01:05.100 he swept every delegate in new york state split the connecticut delegates 50 50 with uh connecticut

00:01:12.940 native george hw bush as well as sweeping the new jersey delegates in that contest i saw

00:01:20.400 almost immediately that donald trump had the size i don't mean the physical size but the stature

00:01:26.520 the independence the courage the stamina uh and uh the strength to be not just a great presidential

00:01:34.740 candidate uh but a truly great president uh in 2000 his fellow billionaire ross perot uh who had run a

00:01:46.580 relatively strong race as a reform party independent candidate in both 1992 and 1996 uh and minnesota

00:01:56.020 governor jesse ventura the former professional wrestler who had been elected as a reform party candidate

00:02:03.060 uh of that state in an upset both urged donald trump to consider a race for the presidency uh most in the

00:02:12.060 mainstream fake news media of the day thought it was a publicity stunt or just trump burnishing his

00:02:20.340 brand but in fact uh he spent substantial time thinking about and traveling exploring an independent

00:02:27.920 reform party candidacy for president one of the things that attracted him was the fact that

00:02:33.860 back in those days under the campaign finance laws trump would have been uh allowed to get

00:02:41.500 38 million dollars in general election funding from the public treasury actually from the checkoff

00:02:49.500 system on the income taxes which created a fund from which presidential candidates were funded

00:02:55.660 38 million dollars in opm to run for president other people's money uh trump made very

00:03:03.020 successful trips to the simon wiesenthal uh holocaust museum in los angeles to the

00:03:09.380 day of pigs uh museum uh in miami uh and made a foray to visit governor jesse ventura in minnesota

00:03:18.820 before he correctly concluded uh that one could not be elected president as a third party or minor party

00:03:28.180 candidate that one needed to be either a republican or a democrat trump actually had been a registered

00:03:35.380 republican for most of his life as were both of his parents both of whom i knew well uh he only became

00:03:43.180 a democrat for two years and that was in the wake of the war uh in iraq which he opposed uh that was

00:03:51.680 his way of protesting uh he regretted his support of george w bush uh in that contest uh little did i know

00:04:01.280 that by 2016 the time uh and the man met and he was exactly the right man at the right time at a time that

00:04:09.920 the american people had very little confidence in all institutions republicans democrats congress uh

00:04:18.180 the federal government state governments but most importantly a growing distrust of of establishment

00:04:25.660 media what we call legacy media uh last night i think perhaps was trump's finest hour i will note

00:04:34.640 that he is the first president there are a lot of firsts with donald trump but he's the first president

00:04:38.600 to mention his triumphant election uh he is the first president in a state of the union i should say

00:04:46.280 uh to denounce his predecessor but that is trump he is combative uh he doesn't play by any rule book

00:04:54.540 but his uh when it comes to politics and uh well he's been incredibly successful i think it was in many

00:05:01.980 ways as i say uh his greatest speech trump knew the democrats wouldn't applaud no matter what

00:05:08.800 during the president's speech democrats refused to stand up applaud even for a child who was battling

00:05:14.660 cancer president trump actually predicted this behavior at the beginning of his speech this is my

00:05:20.440 fifth speech to congress i look at the democrats in front of me and i realize there's absolutely nothing

00:05:25.160 i can say to make them happy or stand or smile or even applaud nothing i could do i could find a cure

00:05:31.460 to the most devastating disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the

00:05:36.880 greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these people

00:05:42.640 sitting right in front of me will not clap will not stand and will not cheer no matter what it's very

00:05:48.780 sad it should not be that way i saw elon musk in the crowd last night interesting enough elon musk was

00:05:56.040 wearing a suit and tie i've never seen him in a suit and tie previously last week i criticized the

00:06:02.520 ukrainian president volodymyr zelinski who despite the fact that we've given him 350 billion dollars

00:06:10.360 cannot wear a suit and tie when he either addresses a joint session of congress or when he meets with the

00:06:17.100 president of the united states he shows up in a dirty military type a sweatshirt i guess he's an actor

00:06:25.340 playing a role but his act is getting very old we saw what happened in the oval office uh is very clear

00:06:35.040 that if it is true that zelinski met prior to his meeting with trump with former secretary of state

00:06:44.340 anthony blinken former assistant secretary of state for ukraine victoria newland uh the former national

00:06:52.900 security advisor susan rice uh senator chris murphy of connecticut bragged about this on his social media

00:07:01.060 as well as alexander vindiman the architect of the fake ukrainian collusion impeachment hoax but then

00:07:10.100 every one of them are in violation of federal law the logan act specifically says that you cannot

00:07:17.300 as an american citizen conduct your own foreign policy and urging zelinski to turn down a peace

00:07:26.340 initiative by president donald trump is a textbook example of violation of that law frankly i think

00:07:33.060 attorney general pam bondy should investigate and if she can confirm that these talks took place and i

00:07:40.020 believe there's video of them uh then i think those democrats should be subjected to a bit of their own

00:07:46.900 medicine the president also gave a warm endorsement to doge last night uh giving credit to elon musk for

00:07:55.620 creating the department and he discussed the billions in waste and fraud that has discovered

00:08:00.660 uh i created the brand new department of government efficiency doge perhaps you've heard of it he

00:08:07.060 said of course the democrats in the chamber went crazy discussing discovering the fraud found in

00:08:12.500 social security's database trump said over 130 000 people according to the social security database

00:08:18.420 are aged over 160 years we have a healthier country than i thought bobby trump said referencing

00:08:26.980 secretary of hhs robert f kennedy jr now bernie sanders immediately took to uh social media to say that

00:08:36.180 nobody who's 150 or 200 years old is receiving social security it's a lie bernie you don't get it

00:08:44.500 somebody is getting that money they're not really 150 or 160 or 200 years old it's fraud they're using

00:08:52.740 somebody else's social security number bernie sanders is particularly annoying to me because

00:08:59.060 here's a guy who skimmed millions of his dollars he and his wife out of his two presidential campaigns

00:09:06.180 in quote unquote media commissions now that is not illegal but my opinion it is unethical unless you disclose

00:09:14.500 it to your donors which bernie never did bernie used to criticize billionaires and millionaires now

00:09:22.660 i notice he just criticizes billionaires that's because comrade bernie has become a millionaire driving

00:09:30.260 a top-of-the-line mercedes and now with three vacation homes bernie favors socialism for thee but not

00:09:38.900 for comrade bernie president trump discussed the benefits last night of cutting billions in government

00:09:44.900 waste by flashing by slashing all of the fraud waste and theft we can find we will defeat inflation

00:09:52.260 bring down mortgage rates lower car payments and gross report prices protect our seniors and put more

00:09:58.260 money in the pockets of the american people trump also spoke out against the radical trans agenda last

00:10:08.260 night uh he pointed out that he had signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's

00:10:14.100 sports three years ago peyton mcnab was an all-star high school athlete one of the very best preparing

00:10:20.740 for a future in college sports but when her girls volleyball match was invaded by a male he smashed the ball

00:10:27.940 so hard in peyton's face causing traumatic brain injury that he left her partially paralyzed on her right

00:10:35.140 side ending her athletic career forever it was a shot like no one had ever seen before uh peyton was

00:10:42.340 in the gallery last night uh and uh she was widely applauded by the republicans the democrats sat on

00:10:51.300 their hands trump said i signed an order making the official policy of the united states government there

00:10:56.980 are only two genders male and free and female trump then called on congress to take action

00:11:03.380 now i want congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children

00:11:09.700 and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body our message to every

00:11:14.580 child in america is that you are perfect exactly the way god made you we're going to talk about that

00:11:21.700 tsunami of lawfare later on in the show when sam antar who is a investigator of white collar fraud

00:12:59.380 and we're back congressman brandon gill of tech introduced a bill to put president donald trump on

00:13:07.140 the 100 bill i love this uh he's calling it the golden age accident on the bill saying let's make

00:13:15.620 history for some years democrats pushed to replace one of our greatest presidents the president most

00:13:21.460 often by the way compared to populist donald trump uh and replace him on the 20 bill with harriet

00:13:28.740 tubman not taking against anything away from tubman but i think alec andrew jackson should stay on

00:13:34.740 the 20 bill i'd like to see president eisenhower used to be on a silver coin on a dollar bill he was

00:13:41.620 one of the greatest presidents in my lifetime we had unprecedented peace and prosperity under ike and

00:13:47.940 he tried to warn us about the deep state except for he called it the military industrial complex and

00:13:55.780 pointed out that we should be careful about the accumulated power of unelected bureaucrats

00:14:02.740 who were in government as well as in the defense contractors in the think tanks uh and in the

00:14:09.540 media eisenhower was exactly right today we call it the deep state uh it is uh noted by congressman

00:14:17.780 gill when he said president trump has been given is far more a crucial character in american history than

00:14:24.100 uh any other uh person being considered uh to be put on our currency this sounds like a great idea to

00:14:32.020 me i love the idea of donald trump on the hundred dollar bill uh president trump also announced in

00:14:39.380 his speech that illegal border crossings are now at a record low not down 93 percent from the day he took

00:14:47.940 office within hours of taking office he said i declared a national emergency on our southern border

00:14:54.180 and i deployed the u.s military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country and what a job

00:15:00.340 they've done the president said as a result illegal border crossings last month are down by the lowest

00:15:06.340 level ever recorded president trump also honored the memory of lakin riley you remember her she's a

00:15:13.620 woman tragically killed by an illegal he noted the very first bill he signed into law as our 47th president

00:15:21.060 mandated the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety this was correctly 1.00

00:15:28.100 called a very strong and powerful act by president trump uh and he paid homage to uh to uh lincoln hope

00:15:38.420 riley the democrats didn't cheer for that either president donald trump has also announced that he

00:15:45.380 secured new investments into america uh the president announced that since his election he has secured over

00:15:51.380 one trillion dollars in new investments thanks to the president's first america policies

00:15:57.860 uh he said they were putting uh 1.7 trillion in new investments into america in just the last few

00:16:05.380 weeks the combination of trump's election and his new economic policies that are going over extremely

00:20:29.540 public filings and financial disclosures of new york attorney general latisha james and he joins us now

00:20:37.620 uh thank you for having me on roger uh sam uh you're back as you are every week with more shocking uh

00:20:46.180 uh uh revelations uh and i see that uh the real deal a real estate publication tried to uh tried to mix it up

00:20:54.740 with you tried to question your conclusions we'll get to that a little bit later but uh you call uh new york attorney general

00:21:03.620 and teacher james a repeat offender saying over the last past decade she's failed to report

00:21:08.980 disclose critical financial information including hidden mortgages rental income and so on so

00:21:14.740 walk us through your latest uh revelations well the problem with with tish james is every time i think i

00:21:22.980 found the got to the bottom of it i find a new bottom um to recap she has two properties 1.00

00:21:31.060 one in north fork virginia and another property in brooklyn in the north fork virginia property which

00:21:38.820 he purchased in august 2020 for approximately 138 000 or so he took a 109 000 mortgage initially it was

00:21:50.020 supposed to be a second home but on all of our financial disclosures he listed it as an investment

00:21:55.380 property that 109 000 mortgage was never disclosed in the financial disclosures to the to new york state

00:22:04.100 then all of a sudden in 2023 two new mortgages appear totaling between 250 to 400 000

00:22:13.140 making the total mortgages on that property in norfolk west virginia to be approximately 350 to 509

00:22:21.060 thousand dollars however the valuation that she placed on the property in her own disclosures in

00:22:27.940 her own words was still 100 to 150 000 so the question is how does she get uh leverage 350 to 0.95

00:22:36.980 510 000 on the property that's worth at most according to her own words 150 000 even if you go to the tax

00:22:45.540 successors roll which which values the property slightly higher at 180 000 that still doesn't

00:22:52.660 make up for the uh lopsided uh loan to equity ratio which is approximately two or more times the valuation

00:23:00.500 of the property the other item is those two mortgages that she made on her virginia property show up in a

00:23:07.940 financial disclosures unlike the 109 000 loan that's when she purchased the home but they don't show up

00:23:17.780 on her property records so you have one loan when she bought the property for 109 000 to ovm financial

00:23:24.580 that shows up on that that shows up on a property record it doesn't show up on her uh uh financial

00:23:34.020 disclosures then you have two other loans totaling 250 to 400 000 that show up on our financial disclosures

00:23:42.660 but don't show up on her uh uh property records okay on top of that uh the the um the property showed

00:23:52.980 five hundred five thousand dollars in income between one and five thousand dollars in income in the first

00:23:58.740 year of ownership in 2020 all of a sudden there's no income during all of those years and she still

00:24:04.580 listed as an investment property which gives me segue into the next topic um when i did further research

00:24:13.300 i discovered in 2013 a cranes article that said that on her brooklyn property which we haven't discussed

00:24:20.580 yet but this will you know transition us on her brooklyn property she had failed to disclose

00:24:28.580 rental income for many years so you see an interesting parallel that's why i call her a

00:24:35.300 repeat offended now it could be that there was no income on the uh virginia property after the first

00:24:42.980 year but the but the other issues remain she has one mortgage that's on the property records not on the

00:24:48.660 financial disclosures she has two mortgages on the financial disclosures that are not on her property

00:24:54.020 records and she has uh and she has a large amount of of total loans against the value of the property

00:25:01.300 two to three times the value of the property which in this world is insane to use the crazy eddie model

00:25:07.060 so that is the virginia property the new york property um the problem with that property was

00:25:15.860 all of a sudden between 2021 and 2022 she increased the valuation of the property by approximately 42

00:25:24.980 52 percent now i remember that year very vividly it was the year of covet okay it was the year of covet

00:25:30.980 at that time values properties in brooklyn were going down or slightly higher not in other words there

00:25:36.900 was no big spike in the valuation of the property that same year she took an additional um approximately

00:25:45.380 four hundred thousand dollars in mortgages once she spiked the value now the amount of mortgages on the 0.95

00:25:50.980 brooklyn property okay um are far less than the total valuation but what got me was if you look at the pattern

00:25:59.460 of the assessed valuations on the property uh in that one year the assessed valuation of the property

00:26:08.340 declined about seven percent while the her own valuation of the property increased 40 percent

00:26:15.620 i wanted to know why the spike in the valuation of the property was because she took two new loans 0.94

00:26:21.940 but she seemed to have had adequate equity even without the valuation spike to take two additional loans

00:26:27.700 so this thing doesn't make sense and you know listen i don't have subpoena power you don't have

00:26:32.500 subpoena power at the end of the day all we can do is look at the financials from public information

00:26:38.740 scrutinize them and point out the inconsistencies and that's what i've done

00:26:44.340 well we do know that under state law public officials must disclose all mortgages and encumbrances

00:26:50.820 on reportable real estate under section 73a of the new york public officers law elected officials

00:26:57.380 must file sworn annual statements disclosing all real estate holdings except personal residences

00:27:03.300 that don't generate income all sources of income exceeding one thousand dollars and all debts exceeding

00:27:09.780 ten thousand dollars these by the way are not as you point out optional formalities but

00:27:15.060 legal statements signed under penalty of perjury false statements can constitute a class a misdemeanor

00:27:21.780 under new york state law punishable by up to a year in jail uh it's interesting the other day uh

00:27:31.140 there was almost no reporting a woman by the name of uh sophia quintara i think i've pronounced that right

00:27:38.180 uh filed uh a lawsuit in 2022 against attorney general leticia james and her chief of staff claiming

00:27:46.580 that she had been sexually assaulted by the chief of staff uh and that james had covered it up uh james

00:27:53.780 moved to have the suit dismissed that was roughly two years ago uh then last late last week it appears

00:28:01.700 that although the suit itself was not dismissed the charges or the claims against leticia james

00:28:07.780 herself were dismissed uh when i reported on this uh your comment was that is the least of her problems

00:28:16.020 uh sam you looked into leticia james campaign finance filings you found other questionable things 0.79

00:28:27.220 i'm sorry i i over i spoke over you i apologize um five thousand dollars in change uh last summer 0.88

00:28:36.660 she spent on cab rides in martha vineyard and the way i would just rent the goddamn car for that 1.00

00:28:42.740 matter you only five thousand dollars for car ride for cab rides i don't spend that in a year and i

00:28:48.260 live in new york and i don't even own a car i mean that that that was irregularity number one

00:28:54.740 in prior years she likes she spent a lot of time in martha's vineyard and she even invited a staff there

00:29:00.580 for a retreat now that was on campaign money not taxpayer money but it just shows you the pattern of

00:29:06.420 lavish spending and irresponsible spending that that she's doing technically speaking you're not 1.00

00:29:12.980 allowed to use campaign funds for personal purposes that creates a taxable event that requires income

00:29:19.940 to be reported okay again i don't have access to a tax return but those better be on our tax returns

00:29:27.620 anything that's deemed to be a personal expense that she that that she spent the campaign money on

00:29:33.140 it's a taxable event and of course there's the campaign financing laws that she may have violated 0.98

00:29:39.220 there's all kinds of stuff but the big point is is her whole financial history is one big muck there's

00:29:46.660 nothing that it's just it's just a pile of s-h-i-t to put it bluntly in new yorker language 0.92

00:29:55.700 well remember her own words she said no one is above the law and the rule of law must apply equally to

00:30:01.140 everyone i think it's time as you say to ask does it really apply to her the the investigator chris

00:30:08.580 gleason has done an excellent job investigating the contributions that flowed to her campaign

00:30:14.980 for attorney general through the democrat payment processing company act blue now it's interesting

00:30:23.220 that on act blue during this period of fundraising they turned off the function where an individual

00:30:30.020 can make a contribution without matching the credit card number with the billing address

00:30:36.740 what gleason and his team of investigators have done is to visit individual donors working off the

00:30:44.580 campaign finance records to confirm that they gave to letitia james not once not twice but in some

00:30:51.540 cases as many as 10 12 15 times in a pattern of donations about 60 percent of those who have been

00:30:58.660 willing to uh to submit to interviews say that they never heard of letitia james and they made no

00:31:05.540 campaign contribution uh to her campaign uh there are 19 uh attorney generals already investigating

00:31:13.700 this uh because it not only affected her campaign but those those of uh senator raphael not warnock of

00:31:20.820 georgia uh congresswoman val demings of florida who raised 37 million dollars for her race against uh

00:31:30.020 incumbent marco rubio now your secretary of state there's a troubling pattern of fraud here this is

00:31:36.820 money laundering money laundering money laundering into the campaign of democrat candidates uh including

00:31:42.900 letitia james ultimately there will be a full report of this we'll see if the new york post who did not

00:31:48.580 cover the story last week about the uh dismissal of charges uh against james uh in the sexual assault

00:31:56.420 matter covers this matter uh folks you're listening to roger stone here in the stone zone on the red apple audio

00:32:05.780 networks we're talking to sam antar uh a white collar crime and fraud investigator and we'll be right back

00:32:35.780 this is the stone zone with roger stone not just stepping stone the stone zone

00:32:43.620 this is the stone zone roger stone they went after a guy named roger stone who's sitting in the office

00:33:07.060 and i'll say this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place

00:33:12.500 now as they treated him very unfairly now get him a zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:33:25.780 and we're back our guest is sam antar the former crazy eddie cfo turned forensic accountant

00:33:35.700 after his metamorphosis from wall street criminal to fraud investigator he runs a website

00:33:42.100 whitecollarfraud.com i commend it to you it is meticulously researched uh and uh most illuminating

00:33:50.900 uh sam you had a comment regarding the lawsuit uh regarding sexual assault that was dismissed uh in

00:33:58.980 some cases last week yes um with my limited knowledge of jailhouse law because i was a jailhouse

00:34:05.380 lawyer who speaks just kidding um when the case is brought the defendants generally file what's known

00:34:13.700 as a motion to dismiss saying that even if i did everything that you said i did right it still doesn't

00:34:20.740 violate the law so it's basically the case was dismissed on the technicality of the law that doesn't

00:34:27.060 mean that the allegations against her are untrue okay that would come out in discovery okay um as she

00:34:35.620 has to testify in depositions or a trial and the case can always be amended to bring it back into the case

00:34:42.500 based upon that subsequent information so she is not out of the woods and that does not exonerate her

00:34:49.220 it just means that she that that case against her on the technicalities of the law doesn't deploy it's 0.97

00:34:56.980 so amazing to me when this lawsuit was first filed there's very scant coverage of it in the new york

00:35:02.340 media now such coverage should certainly have included the attorney general's denials

00:35:07.700 or any statement she wants to make but the media blackout about this uh is really quite extraordinary

00:35:15.300 it's a case i'm going to be watching very carefully sam when you came out with your

00:35:21.220 most recent uh revelations regarding attorney general latisha james uh a real estate publication

00:35:28.500 the real deal uh really published an attack on you which seemed to me they were just running cover

00:35:35.780 for tish uh a piece by eric enquist uh really went after you but well because you are who you are you

00:35:44.500 pushed back tell us about this well my policy is is to push back because i don't take from no one

00:35:50.500 excuse the language they wrote an article that totally mischaracterized what i was saying in my

00:35:56.340 reporting they didn't contact me beforehand they didn't let me know that an article was coming

00:36:01.780 they didn't give me a chance to explain all they did was they claimed that what the research they've done

00:36:08.180 was that tish james evaded real estate taxes which is not the case they also complained that i that i

00:36:16.260 didn't know the law of real estate taxes in new york that assessments uh don't always follow market

00:36:21.940 values uh and that uh the market values attributed to properties by the property tax department doesn't

00:36:28.660 follow market values uh that that that uh in the general market all kinds of stuff but the key the

00:36:35.940 matter of the thing is my research was about tish james violating laws pertaining to her it was a section 0.80

00:36:44.820 73a laws pertaining to her personal finances and the proper disclosures okay whether i referenced

00:36:54.420 the assessed value has no bearing on the total argument that i'm making so what they basically

00:37:01.780 did they they made this straw man argument claiming that i was talking about real estate taxes where

00:37:08.740 that was just a small part of an overall equation relating to the entire story and then they call

00:37:15.460 me a fraudster yes i was a fraudster but i'm not a fraudster now and um attacks like that don't go

00:37:23.700 don't go uh unpunished so i went back and i went back after them and i went line by line in my blog

00:37:30.420 and i that i detailed what they said that was wrong and i rebutted every single word that they had to

00:37:36.020 say if they want to run interference with tish james shame on them it shows that they're not a media outlet

00:37:42.420 it shows they're just a bunch of cronies who only care about access to power rather than challenging

00:37:47.940 power what the media is supposed to build yeah you i must say you posted a very very

00:37:53.940 line-by-line detailed rebuttal uh to this piece this piece is what is known in politics as a contract

00:38:00.900 this was a contract uh leticia james i think is yeah she leticia james i think the ag is she's running 0.99

00:38:08.580 scared she's being sued by the federal government she and governor hochel for their unwillingness to

00:38:14.900 cooperate in federal law when it comes to the deportation of illegal immigrants uh she finds

00:38:21.460 people digging into not only her city campaign financing uh where i suspect she may may have done

00:38:29.620 the same thing mayor eric adams is accused of which is to say taking straw donors whose money is

00:38:35.780 really not theirs and running it through the city's eight to one uh campaign finance matching fund uh we

00:38:42.740 shall see also the the we're digging in deep investigators on her financing of her campaign for 0.98

00:38:50.340 attorney general let me thank our guest sam antar uh he has a great blog at once we get this exactly

00:38:58.340 right it is a white collar fraud dot com white collar fraud dot com folks check it out uh sam antar
