The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 03-23-26

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

00:00:16.020 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:00:21.840 welcome in to the stone zone here's exciting news the u.s treasurer brandon beach

00:00:29.820 says that the U.S. Mint is moving forward with a gold $1 commemorative coin featuring the visage

00:00:37.660 of President Donald Trump. This is after a federal arts commission approved a design this

00:00:42.820 past Thursday with treasury officials citing their legal authority that allows the inclusion

00:00:48.700 of a sitting president, despite other longstanding restrictions involving paper money. I have

00:00:55.040 confirmed with sources familiar with the Commission on Fine Arts that approved the design, that the

00:01:00.820 mocked up approval by the panel cleared a key step forward towards the production of the coin.

00:01:08.820 So in other words, April 15th, you'll be able to have a $1 U.S. minted gold coin with Donald Trump

00:01:16.180 on one side and the American Eagle on the other side. This is being done in commemoration of the

00:01:21.540 250th anniversary of the nation. Tomorrow in the Stone Zone, U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach will

00:01:28.600 join us to talk about the coin and also the process for its approval. This is exciting

00:01:35.480 news to me. Meanwhile, announcement late today that Donald Trump will not be attending the

00:01:41.900 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. for 2026. This will be the

00:01:49.400 first year since 2011 that Trump has not attended this important conference. Now, back in 2011,

00:01:57.540 I was actually the person who first explained to Donald Trump what CPAC was and why it was

00:02:03.780 important, its historical role in terms of elevating presidential candidates, including

00:02:09.460 the early candidacy of Ronald Reagan in both 1976 and then when Reagan was elected president in

00:02:16.240 1980. The president said that he was not attending this year because of some of the speakers he has

00:02:24.660 said have been compromised by China. I believe that he's speaking of Steve Bannon, who was

00:02:31.720 recently revealed in the emails released by the U.S. Justice Department to be an accomplice and

00:02:39.360 advisor to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. There's also, of course, the fact that

00:02:46.540 Bannon pled guilty in New York State to defrauding donors to the Build the Wall Foundation

00:02:54.620 out of $15 million. Strangely, he pled guilty but served no jail time in that guilty plea.

00:03:02.180 He was also an unindicted co-conspirator in the $1 billion fraud case against Chinese national Miles Guo.

00:03:11.620 I believe that there's substantial evidence that that was funded with CCP money.

00:03:17.640 It will be a problem for CPAC.

00:03:20.100 They were already bleeding over the selection of Bannon as a speaker.

00:03:24.160 But now, with Trump taking a pass, I think their ticket sales are really going to suffer.

00:03:30.740 Meanwhile, as an Italian-American, I'm very pleased to see that a powerful symbol of America's heritage has returned to prominence just steps from the White House.

00:03:40.380 That's right, a restored statue of Christopher Columbus now stands outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, visible to all who walk along Pennsylvania Avenue.

00:03:50.500 The Eisenhower Executive Office Building is in the same restricted area as the White House.

00:03:56.380 The statue was originally unveiled in Baltimore in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, only to be torn down and dumped into the harbor during the chaos of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.

00:04:09.340 Now, thanks to determined efforts by the Italian American Civil Rights League, of which I am a proud member, as well as local officials and private donors, that very same statue has been recovered, rebuilt, and completely restored.

00:04:25.160 Its inscription tells the story plainly. Destroyed on July 4th, 2020. Resurrected on 2022. This is a reminder of not only what was lost, but what can be reclaimed. MAGA is undoing the destruction was caused by the BLM thugs and restoring pride, decency and honor in America once again. 0.93

00:04:45.640 The Trump administration has made it very clear that Indigenous Peoples Day is over.

00:04:51.500 Donald Trump issued an executive order reestablishing Columbus Day.

00:04:56.500 As a White House spokesman put it, Christopher Columbus is a hero,

00:05:00.080 and under this administration he will continue to be recognized as one.

00:05:03.860 The installation of the new statue, I should say the reconstituted statue,

00:05:09.660 is part of a broader effort to bring back respect for the nation's founding figures.

00:05:13.720 New monuments are already appearing across Washington with plans underway for a garden of heroes that will celebrate hundreds of great Americans.

00:05:21.620 They try to demoralize us by murdering low IQ thugs into false idols and denigrating our history.

00:05:29.920 But all that did was make us more determined to preserve our heritage.

00:05:35.080 If you're interested in the Italian American Civil Rights League, you can go to IACRL.org.

00:05:41.780 It is a nonprofit organization in which no one makes money, but in which we fight to protect our Italian-American customs and our heritage.

00:05:52.780 Bravo to President Donald Trump for standing up to the woke culture and restoring the statue of Christopher Columbus right outside the Eisenhower Executive Office building.

00:06:04.760 And another major milestone for the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports that February marked the 10th consecutive month with zero illegal immigrants released in the country after crossing the southern border.

00:06:19.160 That's right. Ten straight months of full enforcement.

00:06:22.240 Remember when President Joe Biden insisted he needed new laws and new legislation in order to seal the border?

00:06:29.240 and then Senator James Lankford, the rhino from Oklahoma, put forward legislation that when you

00:06:37.380 looked at it carefully, it wasn't tighten border security, actually would have grandfathered

00:06:42.420 two million illegals a year. Fortunately, the Senate refused to move that legislation.

00:06:49.500 Donald Trump has demonstrated that all you had to do was enforce the law as it was already written.

00:06:55.880 The president's right when he calls this the most secure border in America's history, declaring that America's borders are closed to lawbreakers.

00:07:04.660 The numbers back up that rhetoric.

00:07:06.280 Illegal crossings have plummeted by 97 percent compared to the previous administration, with daily apprehensions down 95 percent.

00:07:15.620 So over a year now, monthly apprehensions have stayed below 9000.

00:07:19.980 This is a stark contrast to the crisis-level surges America has witnessed just a short time ago under President Joe Biden.

00:07:27.960 In fact, Border Patrol agents now encounter fewer illegal crossings in an entire day than they once saw in a single hour during the peak periods.

00:07:39.340 Officials say this success is a result of an enforcement-first approach, one that prioritizes law, order, and national sovereignty.

00:07:47.720 Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott emphasized that not a single illegal immigrant has been released into the interior during this entire 10-month stretch.

00:07:58.160 Meanwhile, agents are also cracking down on drug trafficking.

00:08:01.360 February saw a surge in seizures, including sharp increases in seizures of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana.

00:08:10.160 These are the sorts of successes we need to be singing about from the rooftops if we want to keep the current status quo in government.

00:08:18.300 The Trump administration is protecting the country. It has stopped the invasion.

00:08:22.500 Now we need to continue to mass deport dangerous criminals who are here illegally. 0.99

00:08:28.740 Again, is it possible to deport 36 or maybe even 38 million illegals?

00:08:34.660 No, I think it is unlikely.

00:08:35.920 I believe we should prioritize those who have a criminal record either in their country of origin or here in the United States.

00:08:46.560 I do think that there is technology that would be allowed to track an illegal, let's say you were in the country, I don't know, say 20 years.

00:08:55.200 You have been gainfully employed for those 20 years.

00:08:57.980 You've never violated any laws.

00:08:59.840 You have paid taxes.

00:09:01.620 The government knows where you are.

00:09:02.960 I think there is a lower priority on deporting those people. In fact, I think there should be some program to track them through some type of isotope or some type of technology. We have to put the priority on getting the most dangerous criminals out of the country first. And on that, President Trump will not relent.

00:09:22.380 Meanwhile, Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of OnlyFans and a central figure in the expansion of online adult content, including Pornhub, has died at the age of 43 following a battle with cancer.

00:09:38.220 Radvinsky, who is a Ukrainian-American, kept a low public profile despite overseeing one of the most controversial and, sadly, most profitable platforms in the digital economy.

00:09:47.880 He acquired OnlyFans Pair Company in 2018 and quickly transformed it from a niche subscription service into a global hub for explicit and lewd content.

00:09:58.960 Under his leadership, OnlyFans actually exploded in popularity, particularly during the COVID lockdowns,

00:10:04.380 eventually attracting more than 300 million users and generating over a billion dollars in annual revenue.

00:10:11.260 The platform takes 20% cut from creators, many of whom produce this adult content.

00:10:16.720 OnlyFans has faced, and I think rightly so, widespread backlash for normalizing online pornography, encouraging young women to monetize explicit behavior online. 1.00

00:10:28.540 OnlyFans essentially serves up a digital pimp as a digital pimp to a legion of young women who are tricked into believing that it is somehow empowering to sell their bodies online for cash. 0.94

00:10:39.460 Radvinsky amassed an estimated $4.7 billion personal fortune for purveying this filth,

00:10:47.340 largely tied to the platform's immense growth as civilization falls into oblivion.

00:10:52.120 His death now at the young age of 43 shows that there is a God and that his judgment can be harsh when required.

00:11:02.240 We, the Stone Zone, hope that Radvinsky made peace with the Lord

00:11:06.420 and sincerely repented before his death because what he helped unleash is among the most subversive

00:11:12.200 creations in the history of the country. It is nothing less than the degradation of mankind.

00:11:18.220 In any just society, OnlyFans would be shut down, in my opinion, and its founders would be charged.

00:11:23.560 But there are important First Amendment issues here that have to be weighed. Meanwhile, I hope

00:11:30.100 Radvinsky made his peace with God as he rides on ahead, as they say. Meanwhile,

00:11:35.880 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing growing turmoil within his own party as cracks in the Democrat leadership continue to widen.

00:11:43.660 A new report reveals increasing frustration among Democrat senators, aides and activists who see Schumer as out of step of the party's direction and increasingly ineffective in countering President Donald Trump.

00:11:56.380 Once a dominant figure, Schumer is now being described by members of his own party as a political liability.

00:12:02.580 Behind closed doors, I hear some Democrats are reportedly even exploring whether he could be pushed out of leadership after the midterm elections.

00:12:10.960 Informal vote counts are already being discussed, signaling just how serious this uprising against New York Senator Chuck Schumer could be.

00:12:19.520 At the center of the divide, of course, is an ongoing battle between the party's progressive wing and its corporate progressive wing.

00:12:26.200 All the senators are left-leaning, but many senators, including, for example, Elizabeth Warren, have reportedly began organizing opposition to Schumer's preferred candidates, accusing him of propping up moderates while ignoring the party's activist base in the upcoming primaries.

00:12:43.120 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone.

00:12:45.460 And yes, we've got the inside skinny, even on the Democrats, right here in The Zone.

00:14:25.060 Now, give him a zone.

00:14:26.980 It's the Stone Zone.

00:14:28.980 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:14:35.900 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:14:38.520 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:14:40.820 Here's Roger Stone.

00:14:42.580 I saw President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night.

00:14:49.080 It was the Palm Beach County Republican annual Lincoln dinner.

00:14:53.440 The president very warmly regarded me in his public remarks.

00:14:57.160 He correctly said that in 2016, he asked me point blank whether I thought that despite his lack of political experience,

00:15:05.280 he could defeat 16 more experienced and entrenched politicians.

00:15:10.080 and I told him I thought the country was right for that.

00:15:13.160 He pointed out that I turned out to be right. 0.80

00:15:15.720 He was very warm and generous in his remarks.

00:15:18.360 It was an amazing crowd, too, about 800 people in the Grand Ballroom at Mar-a-Lago.

00:15:26.340 And Byron Donalds, the candidate for governor endorsed by Donald Trump, spoke after me.

00:15:33.820 It was a long, long program.

00:15:35.800 I was pleased to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Palm Beach County Republicans.

00:15:42.680 I suggested, by the way, that they change the name of that to the Earl E.T. Smith Award.

00:15:49.940 Earl E.T. Smith was our last American ambassador to Cuba,

00:15:56.180 and he tried to warn us about Fidel Castro and the fact that he was a brutal Marxist

00:16:02.800 Marxist, and what would come if Batista fell. So hopefully the Lifetime Achievement Award that I

00:16:09.400 was given will go forward as the Ambassador Earl E.T. Smith Award, appropriate for Palm Beach

00:16:16.940 because you see Earl Smith, after he served as America's last ambassador to Cuba, was elected

00:16:23.880 mayor of palm beach uh it was uh so it would be a fitting tribute uh to uh to uh one of our great

00:16:31.920 american ambassadors if you want to know about the fall of cuba and how it really went down

00:16:37.000 uh his book can still be found it's called the fourth floor that's the fourth floor of the state

00:16:42.260 department where basically fidel castro was uh installed uh as the leader of cuba i urge you to

00:16:50.980 check it out. Meanwhile, also over the weekend, Elon Musk, who at this point I believe is the

00:16:56.700 richest man in the world, offered to personally pay for the TSA agents who are guarding the

00:17:06.080 commerce and those who come and go through our airports, an extraordinarily generous act by a

00:17:12.060 man who I think is probably more influential in terms of free speech than anyone in our history

00:17:19.340 other than the founding fathers themselves.

00:17:22.040 Now, if you think that the cancellation and censorship, shadow banning and manipulation of the algorithms is over, that's not so.

00:17:33.880 Much of our online dissertation and online communications are still heavily monitored and censored.

00:17:42.700 But the beginning begins when Elon Musk buys X, and then he very courageously takes all the records from Twitter, now called X, and he releases them publicly, which prove that the U.S. government's intelligence services were actively involved with executives at Twitter to ban and silence certain Americans for political purposes.

00:18:10.740 That enormous act of courage, I think, is what opened the crack in the dam. Now, at least today, we have some free, unfettered political communications.

00:18:22.380 But over the weekend, I had Dr. Robert Epstein, a trained psychologist and scientist who has monitored the content that is being put out there by Google.

00:18:36.220 And he concluded that there is a huge ramp up in liberal bias coming from Google.

00:18:43.700 So, for example, if you are a Democrat and you have on Gmail, you get three reminders to vote.

00:18:50.680 If you are a registered Republican and you have Gmail, you get none.

00:18:54.620 You heard it here on The Stone Zone.

00:18:56.580 We'll be right back.

00:19:06.220 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell

00:19:17.360 but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but

00:19:23.700 people love him and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone

00:19:29.260 And you're back in the Stone Zone. We spoke earlier about the challenges to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. One of the greatest challenges he faces is problems with fundraising. The Democrats' fundraising is lagging very far behind Republicans heading into 2026.

00:19:50.220 Now, that makes a difference because being able to buy paid electronic advertising like terrestrial radio, broadcast television, cable is necessary in order to outweigh the bias of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and most of the others.

00:20:11.800 Democrats are complaining that fundraising has lagged.

00:20:16.640 In fact, some of Schumer's aligned fundraising operations are even carrying debt.

00:20:23.100 So the Republicans will go into the election flush with cash.

00:20:26.500 Even routine meetings among Democrat staff have reportedly turned into strategy sessions

00:20:31.060 focused on potentially replacing Schumer,

00:20:34.220 with some pushing for Schumer to actually step aside after the 2026 election.

00:20:39.660 The momentum and a whole lot of big money is behind the radical wing of the Democrat Party.

00:20:44.140 Schumer is incredibly seen as weak, infectual, and of a bygone era that is reviled among voters.

00:20:51.520 Like Mitch McConnell, Schumer will be ushered into the graveyard of politics before long.

00:20:56.780 Nobody except maybe some lobbyists and pizza partiers will sadly miss him.

00:21:02.460 But I see that shift happening.

00:21:04.400 Meanwhile, top Democrats are predictably whining about President Trump's plan to use immigration and customs enforcement agents to boost security.

00:21:14.140 at America's airports amidst the Democrat-caused government shutdown crisis.

00:21:18.780 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is claiming that deploying ICE agents to assist at airports

00:21:24.980 could somehow endanger travelers.

00:21:27.580 Makes no sense at all.

00:21:29.120 Jeffries said the last thing the American people need are for untrained ICE agents

00:21:33.580 to be deployed at airports all across the country,

00:21:36.580 potentially to brutalize or in some instances kill them. 0.96

00:21:40.960 Boy, there's excessive rhetoric. 0.95

00:21:42.880 these are trained law enforcement professionals. In fact, the average ICE agent today has

00:21:48.500 substantially more experience and more training than the average TSA agent. This is more of the

00:21:56.320 politics of smear. The comments come despite clear explanations from officials about the limited and

00:22:03.340 supportive role that ICE agents would actually play at the airports. The move announced by

00:22:08.680 President Trump is designed to help overwhelm Transportation Security Administration agents as

00:22:14.000 staffing shortages continue during a Department of Homeland Security funding standoff. Many TSA

00:22:21.220 employees have remained on the job without pay, even though Democrats in Congress are holding up

00:22:26.540 funding tied to immigration enforcement priorities. So under the new Trump plan, the ICE agents will

00:22:32.900 not replace TSA screeners. Instead, they'll take on secondary security responsibilities,

00:22:39.480 freeing up trained TSA personnel to focus on specialized screening tasks and help move

00:22:46.040 travelers through lines more efficiently. Border enforcement officials say the goal is to keep

00:22:51.440 America safe while easing congestion at busy airports. Border czar Tom Holman made it clear

00:22:58.100 that ICE agents will operate within their area of expertise and support,

00:23:02.880 not replacing existing security operations.

00:23:06.640 The Trump administration is offering solutions,

00:23:09.000 while the Democrats simply whine and obstruct.

00:23:11.960 Their only chance in the midterms is to sabotage the president's ability to govern

00:23:16.060 and then attempt to blame Republicans for the damage that they themselves caused.

00:23:21.200 We definitely get it.

00:23:23.060 Don't expect the public to fall for this cynical gambit,

00:23:25.680 But when the House Minority Leader says that ICE agents are being sent to airports where they could potentially kill Americans, well, your rhetoric is way too hot.

00:23:37.600 Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has filed a major lawsuit against Harvard University accusing that elite institution of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment and discrimination.

00:23:50.460 According to the Department of Justice, conditions on Harvard's campus deteriorated sharply following the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

00:24:02.360 Jewish students reportedly faced harassment, physical assaults, and intimidation, with some even hiding visible signs of their faith out of fear.

00:24:12.280 Protesters allegedly blocked buildings, disrupted classes, and targeted Jewish and Israeli students with threatening behavior.

00:24:19.860 Even Harvard's own internal review found that Israeli and Zionist students were being excluded from campus life.

00:24:28.380 At the heart of this lawsuit is the troubling claim that Harvard selectively enforced its own rules.

00:24:34.660 While some violations were punished, others, including disruptive protests and building takeovers, were allegedly ignored.

00:24:41.740 The Department of Justice calls this deliberate indifference, a direct violation of federal civil rights law.

00:24:48.200 Harvard receives more than $2.6 billion in taxpayer-funded grants.

00:24:54.060 The government is now seeking both compliance and repayment of certain funds that they received under false pretenses.

00:25:01.320 Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America, and while the fake news likes to blame so-called neo-Nazis and white supremacists on the right for this phenomenon,

00:25:10.240 it's really coming, in fact, from the left.

00:25:12.740 The so-called Palestinian rights movement, foreign demagogues like Ilhan Omar and, yes, Mayor Zoran Mamdami and the Islamification of America, those are the major problems, not our Jewish citizens. 0.90

00:25:27.680 The Trump DOJ must use every tool, in their opinion, at their discretion, in order to make these bigots pay before the hatred results in some of history's worst atrocities.

00:25:36.480 By the way, Harvard gets $2.6 billion in federal funds, despite the fact that they are already fully funded.

00:25:45.060 The Democrats continue to astound me because I don't know who they think their constituency is.

00:25:50.920 Senate Democrats, for example, voted down a Republican-backed amendment to ensure that biological males identifying as transgender could not compete in girls' and women's athletic programs that are receiving federal funding.

00:26:06.480 In a 49-41 vote, Democrats blocked this measure, falling short of the 60 votes needed to advance.

00:26:15.640 Now, it's notable that not a single Democrat spoke on the Senate floor to defend their position before voting against this particular amendment.

00:26:24.640 Senator Tuberville of Alabama, who's a good friend of mine, has repeatedly brought the measure forward,

00:26:30.480 vowing to keep fighting, putting on what he points to as an obvious competitive imbalance

00:26:35.860 and deprivation of biological women from the opportunities and glory they've earned as 1.00

00:26:41.340 athletes. Because of these scentless, woke transgender policies, women lose their opportunities 1.00

00:26:48.160 at titles, scholarships, and so on that they've worked years to earn. This is unfair. It's

00:26:54.500 un-American, and let's face it, it's just plain bizarre. The amendment, interestingly enough,

00:27:00.560 was part of the broader Save America Act, legislation focused on strengthening election

00:27:06.460 integrity through voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements, priorities that are essential to

00:27:13.160 protecting American democracy. I think we get too hung up in the weeds about paper ballots,

00:27:19.280 its early voting, the potential manipulability and lack of security of these electronic voting

00:27:25.980 machines, all those things are, those are all legitimate concerns. But much of the voter fraud

00:27:31.860 in the country, much of the problems with our elections would be cleaned up by passing the

00:27:36.960 SAVE Act, which has been redubbed the SAVE America Act. The strange part is, of course,

00:27:43.540 that there are 50 votes in the U.S. Senate for it today, yet the Senate Majority Leader,

00:27:50.680 John Thune of Nebraska, refuses to take it to the floor. That's because he is under a Senate

00:27:58.560 tradition called the filibuster. The filibuster allows a piece of legislation to be blocked

00:28:06.560 unless 60 senators are in favor of moving it to the floor.

00:28:11.520 The filibuster is a tradition.

00:28:13.940 It is a rule.

00:28:14.620 It is not a law.

00:28:16.580 I have called for doing away with the filibuster rules

00:28:19.720 in order to move this important legislation forward.

00:28:22.980 It is a sure bet that if Democrats were to take control of the U.S. Senate

00:28:26.900 in the 2026 elections, that they would certainly do exactly that.

00:28:32.160 The ongoing drama with Democrats so doggly opposed the measure

00:28:36.000 just shows how much that party hates America, who is in favor of voter fraud? Who would want

00:28:42.360 illegals to vote in American elections? Who would think that it is racist to require a photo ID

00:28:49.400 in order to vote? You're required to use a photo ID to get on an airplane. You're required to use

00:28:55.920 a photo ID to buy a pack of cigarettes or a six pack of beer. You're required to show a photo ID

00:29:01.960 When you apply for welfare, you're required to do it for virtually all of these activities.

00:29:09.160 But Democrats object to a photo ID saying that it's racist, which I guess somehow implies that people of color are incapable of getting a photo ID.

00:29:19.720 That is outrageous.

00:29:20.740 The Democrats clearly want to continue this epic voter fraud that we've experienced certainly now in the 2020 elections.

00:29:32.740 As you know, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has been charged with the president to getting to the bottom of both the question of paper ballots and the manipulability of electronic voting machines.

00:29:47.520 And she's, of course, getting enormous pushback.

00:29:50.740 That's why last week you saw a false story move very quickly on the Internet that Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman, now a Republican serving with great distinction in the Trump administration, was on the cusp of resigning over her opposition to the president's decisions regarding Iran.

00:30:12.740 It's amazing how quickly that fake story spread like wildfire.

00:30:17.800 I spoke to Tulsi Gabbard, who told me it was categorically false.

00:30:21.660 The very next day, of course, she testified before the House and made it very, very clear that the president of the United States is the one who makes the decisions about when to use American force.

00:30:34.400 and that the purpose of the department, her department, the Office of Defense Intelligence,

00:30:40.720 is to give the president the very best information on which to make its decisions.

00:30:47.680 It's very clear to me that the deep state and those embedded in our government,

00:30:52.860 some in the media, are really concerned about Tulsi Gabbard

00:30:57.080 and the fact that it was Tulsi Gabbard who declassified all of the documents

00:31:02.140 that show that Robert Mueller, who passed away only days ago, the former FBI director and

00:31:08.180 former special counsel, was not a good guy, was not a hero, and that the Russian collusion claim

00:31:15.780 was the greatest single abuse of government power and dirty trick in American political history. I

00:31:23.540 know because I was, of course, targeted in that investigation, yet most people can't tell you

00:31:28.940 what it was I was convicted of. I was convicted of lying under oath about Russian collusion that

00:31:34.480 never, ever, even really existed. So in other words, I had no motive to lie. In fact, I didn't

00:31:41.360 lie, but it virtually destroyed me and my family. It's only through the grace of God and the good

00:31:48.080 sense of Donald Trump that he recognized that the Mueller witch hunt had targeted me, not because

00:31:53.740 I'd broken the law because they hoped to flip me and get me to testify falsely against the president,

00:32:00.620 something I refused to do. I've written extensively about Robert Mueller's passing.

00:32:06.040 There's a lot here to unpack. When he was FBI director, he had reports of Middle Eastern men

00:32:11.800 training in a North Florida, living in a North Florida rented home and training at a flight

00:32:17.160 school, but never investigated. They later turned out to be connected to the attack on America on

00:32:23.580 9-11. When he was headed the FBI office in Boston, he covered up the organized crime activities of

00:32:30.380 the Massachusetts gangster Whitey Bulger. It was also Robert Mueller who investigated the Clinton

00:32:36.720 Foundation's pay-for-play schemes and said there was nothing to see and we should all just move

00:32:42.480 along. And then when Hillary Clinton made a secret deal to shift control of about 60 percent, almost 0.78

00:32:48.720 70% of America's uranium to the Russians, it was FBI Director Robert Mueller who carried the

00:32:55.300 uranium sample to Russia for inspection. His entire witch hunt is based on two fraudulent

00:33:01.840 claims, the so-called Steele dossier, which he knew was a fraud from the very beginning,

00:33:06.900 and the false claim that the Democrat National Committee had been the target of an online hack

00:33:12.440 by Democrat intelligence. Pardon me, Russian intelligence. Now, it is true that John Brennan,

00:33:20.320 the CIA director, has claimed that, but we've seen no forensic evidence to back it up.

00:33:25.920 Mueller will not be missed. His judgment now moves to a much higher order. I'm Roger Stone.

00:33:31.960 You're in the Stone Zone, and we'll be right back. This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:38.480 And he's a great, great person, Roger Stone.

00:33:42.400 The Stone Zone.

00:34:03.460 This is the Stone Zone.

00:34:06.100 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:34:07.760 It's the Stone Zone.

00:34:10.000 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:34:17.100 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:34:19.540 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:34:21.840 Here's Roger Stone.

00:34:25.700 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:34:28.440 You know, as a political animal, I'm watching politics not just in the United States, but around the globe.

00:34:34.340 There's a political shift to the right, which is continuing to gain momentum in Europe as nationalist movements continue to surge during recent years, despite media attacks and establishment resistance.

00:34:46.400 In Germany's recent Rhineland state elections, the center-right Christian Democrats, or CDU, led with just over a little more than 30% of the vote.

00:34:56.980 But the real headlines is the dramatic rise of the alternative for Germany, the AFD, a new conservative party.

00:35:04.800 The party captured roughly 20% of the vote, a gain of more than 11 points from the previous election,

00:35:10.320 nearly doubling its representation and solidifying its position in Germany as a major political

00:35:16.300 force. This comes after a coordinated effort by mainstream media and government officials to

00:35:21.580 marginalize and even ban the AFD. AFD members have been surveilled, they've been raided,

00:35:27.980 hit with charges for political advocacy, while the German deep state classifies them as an

00:35:33.020 extremist group. But evidently, the voters are not buying it. Meanwhile, Germany's ruling

00:35:38.680 left-wing coalition, the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Free Democrats suffered significant

00:35:45.100 losses in those elections. The Social Democrats alone dropped nearly nine points, reflecting

00:35:50.220 growing public frustration with their globalist agenda. At the center of the debate, of course,

00:35:56.480 is immigration. See, the AFD is built on support for calls for strict border enforcement and

00:36:03.560 national sovereignty, while critics argue that establishment parties like the CDU talk tough,

00:36:09.340 but they actually refuse to act. Notably, the CDU leaders continue to enforce a so-called

00:36:16.360 firewall, refusing to work with the AfD, blocking all meaningful immigration reform. Despite

00:36:22.760 resistance from the political establishment, the AfD is now Germany's second strongest party

00:36:27.720 nationally and positioning itself as a potentially powerful opposition voice.

00:36:32.400 Pretty much every country across Europe

00:36:34.820 A party similar is rising

00:36:36.840 These are nationalist parties

00:36:38.560 And wanting to protect your borders

00:36:40.160 And your sovereignty

00:36:41.320 That's not racist

00:36:42.480 It's not bigoted

00:36:44.360 It's just common sense

00:36:45.860 If you don't have borders

00:36:47.300 You don't have a country

00:36:49.280 The public is tired of this flood of illegals 1.00

00:36:53.100 Censorship

00:36:54.120 High energy costs

00:36:55.720 And a general lack of freedom

00:36:57.500 I think the populists are getting ready

00:36:59.840 To make Europe great again

00:37:02.660 Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking a decisive action to defend religious liberty and protect conscience rights in the area of health care.

00:37:10.840 The Department of Health and Human Services has launched an investigation into 13 states, accusing them of forcing employers and insurers to cover abortion in direct violation of federal law.

00:37:23.360 See, at the center of the issue is the Weldon Amendment, a long-standing protection that bars government discrimination against those who refuse to provide or pay for abortions on moral or religious grounds.

00:37:35.780 Federal officials say these states, including California, New York, and Massachusetts, are ignoring those protections by mandating abortion coverage and health plans with no exceptions allowed.

00:37:46.600 HSA officials have made it clear that conscious rights are not optional.

00:37:50.560 These are fundamental rights guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

00:37:56.400 The Office for Civil Rights says these investigations are about restoring compliance with the law and protecting health care providers from being coerced into violating their beliefs.

00:38:06.480 And there could indeed be serious consequences for those who are violating the law.

00:38:11.800 States found out of compliance risk losing billions of dollars in federal Medicaid funding.

00:38:17.240 This move also marks a major reversal of the Biden-era policy, which narrowed the definition of who qualify for protection under the Weldon Amendment, weakening religious liberty safeguards at the behest of the abortion industry, Trump once again fulfilling the mandate of the 2024 election.

00:38:38.440 Trump administration has rejected that false interpretation, and I think they're all heading to court.

00:38:45.040 Once again, this is part of the president's agenda to put the baby-murdering industry out of business. 0.99

00:38:51.700 We pay for the success of the administration in this endeavor.

00:38:55.640 Thanks for joining us today on The Stone Zone, where we talk news, history, politics, and more five days a week.

00:39:02.240 Until tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed.

00:39:08.440 Yeah.

00:39:11.440 Yeah.

00:39:23.440 We should lose you, and I don't know where I am going to. 0.98

00:39:31.780 So soon, I die. 0.96

00:39:34.800 I don't need to be the one.

00:39:38.440 Thank you.
