00:00:18.720 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:00:32.700 People love him and respect him, Roger Stone.
00:00:35.420 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.
00:00:42.660 You are diving headfirst into the deep end of the Stone Zone.
00:00:47.340 Late last week, the New York Times breathlessly reported that Lindsey Halligan is under investigation by the Florida Bar. 1.00
00:00:57.880 They had very red faces the next day when they were forced, essentially, to report that the Florida Bar denies that there's any ongoing investigation of Lindsey Halligan.
00:01:10.260 But perhaps I need to remind you who Lindsey Halligan is and why this is significant.
00:01:15.040 You see, Eric Sieber was the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, and he was charged with investigating and potentially prosecuting the case of FBI Director James Comey.
00:01:29.180 You see, Comey said under oath before the U.S. Senate, when asked if he had ever transmitted classified information to any third party and directed that third party to give it to the media, he specifically said no.
00:01:46.760 So, yet an investigation produced both emails and an admission that Comey had passed classified information designed to put Donald Trump in a poor light to Daniel Richman, a longtime friend and advisor of the president.
00:02:08.140 And therefore, Comey was quite vulnerable to the same charges they brought against me, the violation of the False Statements Act.
00:02:17.580 However, the U.S. Attorney Sieber, who was charged with investigating crime, never disclosed that he had a glaring conflict of interest, that his father-in-law, his wife's father, was not only the godfather to James Comey's daughter,
00:02:36.800 but had also represented Comey briefly as his personal attorney.
00:02:44.020 That would normally eliminate a prosecutor. 1.00
00:02:50.220 They would recuse themselves from such a case.
00:02:54.040 Rather than do so, Eric Siebert was preparing a 50-page brief on why deep-stater James Comey should not be charged in that crime.
00:03:05.840 So, he was fired by President Donald Trump.
00:03:09.620 He claimed that he resigned, but if so, he resigned hours ahead of being terminated.
00:03:15.040 And the president appointed Halligan, a White House lawyer.
00:03:18.300 Now, the media immediately began to denigrate Halligan as an insurance lawyer, trying to imply that she was some kind of ambulance chaser, unqualified for this position. 0.77
00:03:30.020 She is indeed a former beauty queen. 0.57
00:03:33.660 She's a statuesque beauty.
00:03:35.800 They seem to hold that against her as well.
00:03:38.220 But she also was a senior partner in a Virginia law firm in charge of their civil litigation practice with a specialty in mortgage law and real estate law,
00:03:50.340 which became very handy in her subsequent investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James.
00:03:59.660 In order to proceed on that case, it's a pretty straightforward case.
00:04:05.740 And once again, Halligan took evidence to a grand jury that voted to indict Comey.
00:04:13.520 And she took evidence in the Letitia James case, where essentially James had signed documents under oath claiming that she would live in, as a full-time residence, a Virginia home she purchased,
00:04:28.200 thus getting a lower mortgage rate and a lower tax rate and a tax break.
00:04:33.000 But, of course, if she lived in Virginia, she would be constitutionally unqualified to be the Attorney General of New York. 0.54
00:04:42.880 In fact, James had a 43 record of serial mortgage fraud, had lied about both residential properties that she owned,
00:04:54.540 had failed to report a number of significant mortgages on her New York State-required disclosure forms.
00:05:05.480 So, in the end, the only way that they could get those two cases dismissed in the deep state
00:05:12.020 was to get a judge to rule that Halligan's appointment was somehow improper under the Federal Vacancies Act,
00:05:23.040 a judicial decision that, quite frankly, is just wrong.
00:05:28.220 It's on appeal, and it will be overturned on appeal.
00:05:32.280 But in the meantime, I think it is important to kind of look at the actions of the three judges in this case
00:05:38.840 because I've never quite seen anything like it.
00:05:41.400 Judge Michael Nachmanoff was the main judge.
00:05:44.360 For some reason, they brought in a judge from an entirely different jurisdiction,
00:05:50.420 from South Carolina, a Judge McGowan-Curry,
00:05:54.480 and last, but not worse, Judge William Fitzpatrick,
00:05:58.760 to say that these three federal judges engaged in an attack on this indictment that was based with conjecture,
00:06:06.960 prohibited media narratives, personalized attacks on the U.S. attorney,
00:06:11.620 and procedural anomalies that have no precedent anywhere in federal criminal practice.
00:06:17.380 In other words, these judges violated the judicial canon of ethics,
00:06:22.220 which required neutrality, certain other ethical obligations,
00:06:26.800 and they had a constitutional rule to be fair in the case of the grand jury.
00:06:33.920 Judges cannot say from the bench that they read something in the newspaper or saw it on TV.
00:06:41.080 They are supposed to be law to learn everything about the facts from the briefings
00:06:46.420 and the written briefings of what happens in the law room.
00:06:52.200 But Judge Nachmanoff continually referred to things that he had read in the media.
00:06:59.920 According to Canon 3, judges cannot lie on external reporting.
00:07:05.800 Canon 3 specifically prohibits it.
00:07:08.760 In another case, you could see how one side of the proceeding was.
00:07:12.980 The judge interrupted Lindsay Halligan repeatedly whenever she tried to speak.
00:07:17.700 The judge never once interrupted the government, the defense.
00:07:21.920 He continued to silence the attorney general, kept misstating her records.
00:07:27.920 He kept prejudging her prosecutorial independence from the bench.
00:07:31.080 These are personal attacks from the bench, all prohibited under the standard court rules.
00:07:37.600 Then there was Judge Cameron McGowan Curry.
00:07:41.220 For some reason, she was brought in from South Carolina.
00:07:45.260 She also engaged in personal attacks on Halligan.
00:07:51.220 An overwhelming media president describes her as a White House aide who has no prosecutorial experience.
00:07:59.980 That's not legal reasoning.
00:08:01.460 It was character assassination.
00:08:03.760 It would have nothing to do about the evidence that was presented to the grand jury.
00:08:09.520 She also pointed repeatedly to abundant newspaper reporting.
00:08:16.400 But the worst of them all was a judge, William G. Fitzpatrick.
00:08:20.940 He engaged in distortion, conjecture, false misleading minutes, and other ethical breaches.
00:08:27.140 He actually claimed that the indictment was invalid
00:08:33.800 because there had not been a quorum of grand jurors present
00:08:38.960 and that there was a missing gap in the audio version of the grand jury proceedings.
00:08:48.580 When Halligan tried to respond, the judge told her to sit down and shut up that afternoon. 1.00
00:08:56.800 The court was required to file a public apology for their being incorrect.
00:09:04.760 The judge also took a quote, cut it in half, to give it two different meanings.
00:09:09.280 The part that he barred from the record was, of course, dispositive.
00:09:14.180 This is a violation of Canon 2A, which requires integrity and avoidance of speculation.
00:09:22.160 The judge is realistic entirely on conjecture rather than evidence.
00:09:25.580 Also a violation of Canon 3A.
00:09:27.900 Findings must be based on the court record.
00:09:30.660 So I guess my message to the New York Times and Josh Bromwich,
00:09:34.500 who breathlessly reported this case,
00:09:38.360 that Lindsay Halligan was under investigation by the floor and bar,
00:09:41.880 which is a lowly smear because she's done nothing wrong other than serve her country.
00:09:48.320 That attack was, of course, a setup.
00:09:51.460 This was being pushed by one of the many non-profits funded with dark money by George Soros.
00:10:03.920 Very, very specifically in this case, an operative pushed this narrative.
00:10:12.220 Her name, let's see, let's grab this real quickly.
00:10:14.700 Very interesting operation.
00:10:19.060 This is lawfare.
00:10:20.180 This is where they file these attacks against you that are baseless,
00:10:26.180 knowing that it takes you time and money to fight them.
00:10:29.520 And that's what I believe it is Citizens for Accountability was the first operation that made this claim.
00:10:40.920 The Michelle Cupper Smith, who is not an attorney, but is the chief hit woman for CFA,
00:10:49.720 the Campaign for Accountability and other front organizations,
00:10:55.120 have engaged here in lawfare, in other words, file bar complaints as a nuisance, which is what this is.
00:11:03.640 However, I saw today that any citizen can file a grievance against a judge.
00:11:09.380 I think anyone who looks at these three Virginia judges ought to consider such a formal complaint
00:11:16.340 because the smearing of Lindsay Halligan is outrageous, completely and totally outrageous.
00:11:24.340 And to seek to have her disbarred on the basis of false claims is outrageous.
00:11:32.300 There is no pending bar examination, said a spokeswoman for the Florida bar situation.
00:11:41.760 The situation is extraordinary.
00:11:44.880 Meanwhile, the investigation into whether our 2020 elections were on the up and up continues.
00:11:51.240 The FBI now expanding a major criminal investigation into possible election irregularities,
00:11:57.460 issuing grand jury subpoenas to obtain a massive trove of voting records from Arizona's largest county.
00:12:04.640 This comes, of course, on the heels of the raid on the Fulton County Election Board warehouse
00:12:11.060 where records were seized.
00:12:13.880 It seems like the president and the attorney general and the director of national intelligence are very serious
00:12:21.840 about taking a hard look at not only mail-in ballots but electronic voting machines
00:12:29.220 and whether it is, as I believe, possible for them to manipulate election results, perhaps even from offshore.
00:12:39.360 Sure. I'm certain that the capability exists.
00:12:42.440 I don't have absolute proof that it happened in 2020, but that, of course, is the role of the government to learn these things.
00:12:51.880 Federal investigators in Georgia say they're now reviewing gigabytes of election data from Maricopa County,
00:12:59.980 the state's most populous jurisdiction, home to Phoenix.
00:13:03.260 The subpoenas came late last week after the FBI conducted a high-profile raid near Atlanta,
00:13:09.280 seizing ballots connected to the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:13:13.900 The investigation appears to be widening as federal agents examine potential violations of election laws across multiple states.
00:13:21.260 I believe the president was robbed in 2020.
00:13:25.260 The idea of Joe Biden got 81 million votes when he was essentially a diaper-wearing vegetable
00:13:33.340 for most of the campaign relegated to his basement, and it only went downhill from there.
00:13:41.040 One of the most alarming findings in Arizona suggests that more than 200,000 ballots with mismatched signatures may have been counted without proper verification,
00:13:52.500 which far exceeds the roughly 25,000 mismatches that were previously acknowledged by the Maricopa County figures.
00:14:02.020 This has all come to a head before 2026, and the SAVE Act, of course, would solve all these problems.
00:14:08.600 Instead of getting bogged down in all of the intricacies of mail-in ballots and the manipulatory machines,
00:14:14.620 let's start by making a law that says you have to be a U.S. citizen before you can vote,
00:14:20.440 and you have to have a valid photo ID.
00:14:24.060 It's pretty simple to me.
00:14:25.740 They call it the SAVE Act.
00:14:27.020 President Trump calls it the SAVE America Act.
00:14:29.680 There are 50 votes for it right now in the U.S. Senate,
00:14:32.200 that because John Thune is a coward and because of some antiquated custom the Democrats will get rid of the instant they have control,
00:14:41.360 called the filibuster, America may not be saved. 0.96
00:14:45.080 It is an outrage.
00:14:47.700 We'll talk about it on the other side, listening to The Stone Zone.
00:14:51.420 I'll be right back.
00:14:52.580 Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:14:56.800 He likes politics, and he's a professional at the highest level.
00:15:01.500 Roger Stone.

00:15:51.620 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:15:55.340 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.
00:15:59.400 Roger Stone was persecuted.
00:16:00.640 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
00:16:03.720 Now, get him a zone.
00:16:05.540 It's The Stone Zone.
00:16:07.600 Here's Roger Stone.
00:16:10.680 And we're back.
00:16:11.920 Like any political junkie, and I certainly am one,
00:16:15.700 I watched the Texas primaries last week with great interest.
00:16:20.220 I must say I'm going to miss the comic relief of Jasmine Crockett.
00:16:24.120 She had quite an act, but she didn't make it in the Democrat Senate primary. 0.99
00:16:29.240 Instead, they have nominated a guy who I call Beto O'Rourke Light.
00:16:35.020 They're going to try to pass this very young state legislator, James Talrico, off as a moderate,
00:16:40.780 but there's nothing moderate about him.
00:16:43.460 More amazingly, of course, no Republican candidate reached the 50 percent mark in the U.S. Senate primary,
00:16:51.260 former, pardon me, current incumbent U.S. Senate John Cornyn,
00:16:56.360 facing very popular Trump-aligned Attorney General Ken Paxson,
00:17:01.960 and Wesley Hunt, an excellent, upstanding conservative member of Congress,
00:17:08.020 took about 13 percent of the vote, which means neither of the two frontrunners made the nomination.
00:17:15.880 So there is a runoff.
00:17:18.020 And incredibly, Ken Paxson has announced that if the U.S. Senate will kill the filibuster
00:17:24.300 and allow the vice president to break the tie and pass the SAVE Act,
00:17:28.380 he will drop out of the race and not force the runoff.
00:17:32.060 This is the first time in 50 years I have seen a politician
00:17:34.900 put his personal ambition aside in the best interests of the country.
00:17:39.980 I don't think anyone's going to take him up on it,
00:17:42.720 but I think it was a sincere offer and one of the most interesting things I've seen
00:17:47.360 in a 50-year career in American politics.
00:17:50.780 The SAVE Act is crucial for Republicans to win again in 26 and in 28,
00:17:56.060 and without it, I think we are in deep, deep trouble.
00:17:59.260 This, and I've endorsed no candidate in this race,
00:18:01.800 but Ken Paxson is a loyal friend,
00:18:05.440 and at this juncture, his offering to step aside,
00:18:09.520 I think is actually going to boost him if the runoff goes forward.
00:18:17.240 You're listening to The Stone Zone.
00:18:18.820 I'm Roger Stone.
00:18:19.740 We'll be right back with more.
00:18:21.120 We'll be right back.
00:18:39.520 This is The Stone Zone.
00:19:00.040 Now, get in the zone. 0.94
00:19:01.960 It's The Stone Zone.
00:19:03.460 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going,
00:19:07.840 and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
00:19:10.940 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:19:13.360 Roger Stone.
00:19:14.420 Where's Roger Stone?
00:19:15.660 Here's Roger Stone.
00:19:19.140 President Donald Trump gathered a coalition of Western Hemisphere allies in Florida
00:19:25.340 at his palatial Doral Country Club to launch an aggressive new partnership aimed at dismantling
00:19:32.720 both the violent drug cartels that have fueled crime, migration, and instability across the Americas.
00:19:40.040 Speaking at the Shield of America's Summit,
00:19:43.020 the president announced the formation of America's Counter-Cartel Coalition,
00:19:48.400 which is a new military partnership designed to confront cartels using coordinated security and military resources.
00:19:57.460 Just in recent months, President Trump has ended the drug trafficking from Venezuela into the United States.
00:20:05.240 He's also ended the drug trafficking, lesser known but very substantial, from Honduras into the United States.
00:20:13.240 And, of course, Cuba is not largely an importer of drugs because of their underwhelming lack of cash.
00:20:21.980 They barely have enough boat fuel to get from Havana to our shores.
00:20:27.740 President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have really made opposition to Marxist narco-terrorism
00:20:37.400 in this hemisphere a centerpiece of their foreign policy.
00:20:41.540 The president said,
00:20:43.100 On this historic day, we come together to announce a brand-new military coalition
00:20:48.480 to eradicate the criminal cartels plaguing our region.
00:20:52.920 For our president were the heads of state from more than a dozen stations,
00:20:56.240 including my good friend Javier Malay from Argentina,
00:21:00.360 the president of Ecuador,
00:21:02.200 the new president Tito Asfura of Honduras,
00:21:06.500 President Bukele of El Salvador,
00:21:08.980 the president of Panama,
00:21:11.500 the extremely impressive president of Paraguay,
00:21:15.980 and as well as the president of the Dominican Republic.
00:21:20.040 They were all there.
00:21:21.980 The Dominican government, of course, in the past,
00:21:24.160 had been very, very pro-Biden.
00:21:26.320 It's considered a left-of-center government.
00:21:29.760 I was surprised, but I guess happy to see them there.
00:21:34.060 But he brought together largely conservative or right-of-center governments within this hemisphere.
00:21:41.860 Trump has said the initiative will strengthen military cooperation and so on,
00:21:45.880 but all of the talk in the last two weeks has been about Cuba.
00:21:50.460 This is a subject I feel deeply about because my wife is a Cuban-American.
00:21:55.780 Her father was a Cuban diplomat.
00:21:58.060 In fact, he was the military attache at the Cuban consulate in Washington, D.C. at the time of Batista.
00:22:05.660 And when Batista fell and Castro took power,
00:22:09.660 he was ordered to return to Havana for briefings.
00:22:14.360 Fortunately, the night before he was to leave,
00:22:18.780 a friendly CIA man knocked on the door to warn my father-in-law not to return to Cuba
00:22:25.360 because he was on a list of people who would have been liquidated.
00:22:30.540 He had poor command of English because he didn't need it for his job in the Cuban embassy.
00:22:36.480 He worked as a fuller brush man, a house painter, a printer,
00:22:43.000 having lost everything he owned back in Havana, his home, his bank account, his savings, his insurance, left it all.
00:22:51.360 So this only strengthened my anti-communism.
00:22:56.260 And I recognize how incredibly brutal the regime has been.
00:23:00.440 And people don't really realize that it is the American press in the deep state of his time that empowered Fidel Castro.
00:23:11.120 We did everything humanly possible to undercut Batista.
00:23:16.080 Now, Batista was no day at the beach when it came to human rights, and he was epically corrupt.
00:23:24.040 But our ambassador, Earl E.T. Smith, later the mayor of Palm Beach, a close friend of Richard Nixon's,
00:23:32.560 tried to tell the State Department that the rebels in the hills would ultimately win control and become a thorn in our side.
00:23:40.280 Turns out to be absolutely right.
00:23:42.680 His book, The Fourth Floor, very much worth reading if you want to understand.
00:23:47.440 But the media told us that Fidel Castro was a dashing, romantic, Robin Hood-like figure who was simply going to rob from the rich and give to the poor.
00:23:58.840 He got the full treatment, particularly from the New York Times.
00:24:02.620 And he had a very kind of reformer image.
00:24:05.920 Plus, he understood the optics.
00:24:07.680 So, of course, he had his fatigues and his cigars and his trademark beard.
00:24:12.260 And, of course, famously, while staying at the Waldorf Hotel, he and his men plucked chickens in the living room of the palatial suite to prepare dinner.
00:24:22.540 He was very much a showman.
00:24:26.020 After, very briefly after Castro took power in Havana, he asked for a meeting with President Dwight Eisenhower.
00:24:34.820 Eisenhower understood that his direct meeting with Fidel Castro would imply recognition of Castro's government.
00:24:45.200 Therefore, he sent Vice President Richard Nixon in the president's office in the Capitol for almost five hours, four and a half hours.
00:24:55.140 Eisenhower had asked his vice president to kind of size Castro up.
00:24:59.840 And Nixon came back from that meeting correctly telling Eisenhower that Castro was not some kind of exotic reformer, but he was a hardcore Marxist and that he would be a problem.
00:25:16.660 Nixon, of course, turned out to be prophetic about that.
00:25:19.800 It's interesting, my good friend, Ed Cox, who is often on the radio with and who is President Nixon's son-in-law, would later visit Cuba, would get a visit with Castro, who asked him, point blank,
00:25:37.740 how did your father know I was a communist?
00:25:40.380 It's a great and true story.
00:25:43.180 Of course, Nixon's entire persona in the country was based on his nailing Alger Hiss as a spy.
00:25:52.780 This is why the left hated him.
00:25:54.840 It's why they ultimately brought him down, part of why they brought him down.
00:25:59.860 But he was correct about Alger Hiss, who was a Yale and Harvard educated bureaucrat close to both FDR and President Truman.
00:26:09.820 And Nixon claimed in House hearings that that Hiss was a spy.
00:26:15.220 Hiss would ultimately be convicted of perjury.
00:26:18.420 Many, many years later, when the Iron Curtain fell and all the KGB records became available to us, we learned that, well, Alger Hiss really was a spy.
00:26:29.780 That part of the story doesn't get written.
00:26:33.260 Big news in this last week, and I cite a number of other journalists, but James Rosen broke a major story, something that many of us in the research community have known for some time,
00:26:48.740 but that during the Nixon presidency, he was being actively spied on by the deep state.
00:26:54.540 Very specifically, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were spying on Nixon's national security operation.
00:27:02.700 They were photocopying and stealing documents out of briefcases, out of files, out of desks.
00:27:09.380 They were dealing with classified information.
00:27:12.900 They rifled Henry Kissinger's briefcase, General Al Haig's briefcase.
00:27:18.380 Why?
00:27:19.140 Because they were opposed to an end of the war in Vietnam, which Nixon was driving to.
00:27:23.800 They were opposed to a strategic arms limitation agreement with the Soviets, which Nixon was driving for.
00:27:31.500 And they were particularly opposed to the opening to China.
00:27:35.840 Now, I have to keep having this argument, but at the time that Nixon made the decision to play China and Russia off against each other in the foreign policy realm,
00:27:47.620 China was a dirt-poor, backwards, agrarian society in which very few people had indoor plumbing or electricity. 0.99
00:27:58.200 There was really no way for Nixon to know that 30 years later, Bill Clinton would give China most favored nation trading status,
00:28:09.700 which is what made them the superpower that they are today.
00:28:14.700 So, this story was actually, I give them credit, published in the New York Times, which I was most interested to see.
00:28:25.900 Anyway, President Trump now is going to clearly focus on this Western Hemisphere.
00:28:32.280 We've now informally renamed the Monroe Doctrine, the Don-Roe Doctrine.
00:28:38.640 This move comes as Cuba has dramatically expanded its economic footprint throughout Latin America,
00:28:46.540 while cartel violence continues to destabilize the region.
00:28:49.980 This I can tell you.
00:28:50.940 The Chinese are everywhere.
00:28:54.060 They seek to infiltrate all strata of any society, whether it is academia, business, the military, the government.
00:29:05.480 And they are quick with capital when American businessmen are less likely to step forward.
00:29:15.560 So, they try to force their way into the Caribbean nations financing hotels or hospitals or airports or so on.
00:29:24.180 They don't really care in the end whether they make money.
00:29:27.060 They just want to get in.
00:29:30.260 And there is no question, of course, that they have been funding the cartels.
00:29:34.380 It is, they are the makers of the fentanyl that is being brought over our borders.
00:29:42.920 I think the President made it very clear by taking out Nicolas Maduro that he was done with this,
00:29:49.160 and he is making America great again.
00:29:52.000 The ramifications of trade and border security and now drug interdiction will have huge results for the country.
00:30:00.220 So, I think it is an extraordinarily important initiative,
00:30:04.920 and I was glad to see all of those Latin American leaders.
00:30:08.660 You see it in the succession of elections in Chile.
00:30:12.040 They have just elected a conservative government, for example.
00:30:17.640 So, I think freedom is on the march in this particular hemisphere,
00:30:22.780 and the President is surprising me in that his foreign policy,
00:30:28.660 whether it is in Central America or whether it is in the Middle East
00:30:33.560 or whether it is between Ukraine and Russia,
00:30:37.240 he uses a combination of military strength,
00:30:40.920 and he does that in a very measured and focused but very lethal way,
00:30:47.280 economic pressure.
00:30:49.440 He is winning the oil game, folks.
00:30:51.300 He has cut off a third of China's access to cheap oil.
00:30:55.500 He has cut off virtually all of the oil for Cuba.
00:31:00.660 So, this is going to have incredible ramifications.
00:31:05.560 The Chinese now, with this lack of oil, 1.00
00:31:08.800 would have to think long and hard about any attempt to seize Taiwan, for example.
00:31:14.860 So, Trump playing the long game, but I think using effectively all three.
00:31:21.380 And, of course, we are all interested to see what will happen with Cuba.
00:31:24.900 It reports that Marco Rubio has been in talks and may have agreements with Raul Castro's grandson,
00:31:32.640 who is a high-level party figure.
00:31:35.800 Now, whether they will just surrender, as the President has suggested,
00:31:39.780 I pray to God that he's right.
00:31:42.100 But this is a brutal regime with excellent intelligence in this country.
00:31:47.300 But I would love to see them to be the next domino to fall in the trend of freedom.
00:31:54.340 And it is only due to the extraordinary efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio,
00:32:00.540 who I'm proud to say I supported every time he ran for the Senate,
00:32:04.020 including when he challenged Governor Charlie Crist.
00:32:07.520 His politics were not always mine.
00:32:09.260 He used to be a bit more of a neocon than I am,
00:32:11.220 but he has done an excellent job of executing President Trump's foreign policy,
00:32:17.920 which isn't boots on the ground, multi-casualty, multi-billion dollar, endless war,
00:32:24.800 but a more limited, focused, lethal use of American power.
00:32:31.860 He's not an isolationist, but he is still an interventionist.

00:33:42.560 It's mind bubbling.
00:33:43.560 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:33:56.680 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.
00:34:00.760 Roger Stone was persecuted.
00:34:02.000 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
00:34:05.120 Now, get in the zone. 0.94
00:34:06.880 It's The Stone Zone.
00:34:08.940 Here's Roger Stone.
00:34:10.440 Well, New York City's far-left mayor, Zoran Mamdani,
00:34:16.600 is facing outrage from the city's Jewish residents
00:34:19.160 after reports surfaced
00:34:20.360 that his wife liked social media posts
00:34:24.240 celebrating the October 7th terrorist attacks against Israel.
00:34:29.420 The posts, highlighted by the Jewish Insider,
00:34:32.500 were shared by left-wing activist accounts
00:34:34.700 and included imagery from the Hamas assault
00:34:37.580 that killed roughly 1,200 Israelis.
00:34:41.380 One post featured terrorists
00:34:43.420 riding in a stolen Israeli military vehicle
00:34:47.880 with the caption,
00:34:49.140 Resisting apartheid since 1948. 0.82
00:34:52.640 Another showed a bulldozer
00:34:54.420 breaching the Gaza border barrier
00:34:57.500 on the day of the attack
00:34:59.420 with the words,
00:35:00.640 Breaking the walls of apartheid
00:35:02.700 and military occupation.
00:35:05.320 October 7th, 2023.
00:35:07.880 Records on social media
00:35:09.080 indicated that Rama Duwaji,
00:35:12.900 the first lady of New York City,
00:35:15.580 I apologize if I mispronounced that,
00:35:17.660 had liked the posts.
00:35:20.280 When asked about the reports,
00:35:21.740 the radical mayor
00:35:23.480 dismissed the criticism,
00:35:25.200 insisting his wife 0.99
00:35:26.460 should not face public scrutiny.
00:35:28.280 Mamdani said,
00:35:29.480 My wife is the love of my life.
00:35:30.860 She's also a private person
00:35:32.180 who has held no formal position
00:35:34.300 on my campaign or my city hall.
00:35:37.480 In other words,
00:35:38.000 he threw her under the bus. 0.83
00:35:40.020 He argues that his wife
00:35:41.520 is not a public figure,
00:35:43.340 but there's no indication
00:35:44.720 that he doesn't share her views.
00:35:48.240 But she has made herself
00:35:49.720 into a public figure
00:35:50.660 in recent months.
00:35:51.740 reveling in the spotlight.
00:35:53.220 So you can't have it both ways.
00:35:55.360 She appeared in multiple media features,
00:35:57.440 giving interviews,
00:35:58.680 was featured on the cover
00:35:59.700 of New York Magazine,
00:36:01.740 the New York Times,
00:36:04.360 all the news that's fit to print
00:36:06.480 embellished with a left-wing tint.
00:36:10.120 Also published profiles
00:36:11.720 highlighting her artwork
00:36:13.180 and her fashion.
00:36:14.740 So I don't see her views
00:36:17.020 as being off-limit.
00:36:18.140 In fact, I think the woman
00:36:19.640 is an anti-Semite.
00:36:21.740 She has anti-Semite leanings
00:36:24.360 and she should be lionized
00:36:27.500 without a second thought to me
00:36:29.380 is an absurdity.
00:36:32.760 I find these views repugnant.
00:36:35.400 I think many New Yorkers would.
00:36:38.420 I'm not sure had this been known
00:36:40.140 before the election,
00:36:41.580 however, that it would have made
00:36:43.060 much of a difference.
00:36:44.400 It is about the demographic changes
00:36:46.500 in New York City.
00:36:48.720 And the fact that this
00:36:49.900 Marxist progressive group
00:36:53.220 within the Democratic Party
00:36:54.560 has gained strength over time.
00:36:58.520 There has been a max exodus
00:37:00.520 of white voters
00:37:01.920 and others from New York City,
00:37:06.600 which has become increasingly Hispanic,
00:37:10.260 increasingly African American,
00:37:13.780 and increasingly Muslim.
00:37:17.740 And less than a third today
00:37:19.700 of city residents
00:37:21.360 are Catholics.
00:37:22.320 That was certainly not true
00:37:24.680 when Robert Wagner
00:37:27.840 was elected mayor.
00:37:30.280 So the Democrat Party
00:37:32.140 has plunged headlong
00:37:33.820 into insanity.
00:37:35.720 Old-time corporate Democrats
00:37:37.860 like Chuck Schumer,
00:37:40.000 who looks very, very scared to me.
00:37:42.460 I mean, if AOC should step forward,
00:37:44.840 I think Chuck is done.
00:37:46.760 Remember, she beat Joe Crowley,
00:37:48.600 who was the head of the
00:37:49.240 Queen's Democrat machine 0.52
00:37:50.460 to win that seat in the past.
00:37:53.300 She's not much of a cox. 1.00
00:37:54.620 Remember, I hear she makes
00:37:55.560 one hell of a martini.
00:37:58.360 If she drops back
00:38:00.720 and doesn't run for president,
00:38:02.380 runs for the U.S. Senate
00:38:03.640 in New York's Democrat primary,
00:38:05.660 I think she would be
00:38:06.580 heavily favored to win.
00:38:08.560 Chuck can raise
00:38:09.740 big corporate money.
00:38:11.160 He's like a vacuum cleaner
00:38:12.920 in that sense.
00:38:14.040 But she could raise
00:38:15.480 literally millions of dollars
00:38:17.160 of small dollar donations.
00:38:20.220 And she would be
00:38:22.700 a weaker general election candidate,
00:38:25.420 but I think she would be favored.
00:38:27.840 Maybe Chuck would throw in the towel
00:38:30.920 and just ride off into the sunset,
00:38:32.620 but they never go back
00:38:34.360 to Pocatello,
00:38:35.400 as one senator once said.
00:38:38.500 And it looks to me like
00:38:39.720 he's already hung on too long.
00:38:41.940 Sometimes he seems uncomfortable.
00:38:43.740 I've seen the video of him saying
00:38:45.180 we must seal our borders.
00:38:47.480 It's essentially
00:38:48.080 we seal our borders
00:38:49.300 only to see him attacking
00:38:51.280 President Trump
00:38:52.840 on video weeks later,
00:38:54.760 weeks ago,
00:38:55.740 for sealing our borders.
00:38:58.000 I don't know how you live 0.96
00:38:59.000 with that kind of hypocrisy. 0.73
00:39:01.040 Anyway, that's my political take 0.79
00:39:02.540 for the day.
00:39:03.160 Thanks for joining us

00:39:41.780 that come running
00:39:44.560 just as fast as we can 0.62
