00:00:00.140 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:00:03.820 Welcome. You are entering the Stone Zone, and tonight we're going to do something we haven't done before.
00:00:09.880 We're going to try to take as many of your calls as we possibly can.
00:00:13.600 That number, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:00:20.020 Our most loyal listeners always complain that we don't take enough calls.
00:00:24.380 We try to squeeze in as many of them as we possibly can,
00:00:27.340 but I'm inviting you now to call us at 800-848-9222.
00:00:33.700 I'm going to start this off with some questions we got via the Internet.
00:00:40.060 Aldo in Cherry Hill, New Jersey says,
00:00:42.940 I saw Steve Bannon on with Chris Cuomo, and he said that Trump was running again in 2028.
00:00:51.400 I love this idea, but isn't that unconstitutional?
00:00:55.240 Aldo, thanks for your question.
00:00:57.860 Yes, indeed, the U.S. Constitution does not allow that.
00:01:02.900 After Franklin Roosevelt served four terms, I believe it was the 22nd Amendment was passed.
00:01:09.720 And by the way, a constitutional amendment requires two-thirds of the Congress and three-quarters of the states for ratification.
00:01:16.700 No small task, no small task, no low barrier.
00:01:20.900 But the Constitution is very clear.
00:01:25.500 No person may be elected for more than two four-year terms.
00:01:30.600 And therefore, in order for Donald Trump to run again, we have to have a constitutional amendment.
00:01:36.200 Again, that would require two-thirds of the Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states.
00:01:43.300 I love Donald Trump.
00:01:45.180 At the end of this term, I'd love to see him serve another term, but I don't see the Constitution being changed.
00:01:51.620 So I have to assume that Steve Bannon is trolling.
00:01:56.000 I'm sure he got a lot of clicks out of that, but I don't think it's political reality.
00:02:00.460 Again, we're taking your calls at 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:02:09.300 Tim from Alexandria, Virginia, emails this question.
00:02:14.240 Yesterday, you raised the question of Susan Monterey, who Donald Trump appointed to head the CDC, the Center for Disease Control.
00:02:25.300 And I read that she is a supporter of mandatory vaccinations.
00:02:29.820 Why would Trump and Robert Kennedy appoint such a woman?
00:02:34.720 You know, after last night's show, I texted Robert Kennedy directly to ask him.
00:02:39.740 And, folks, this is all a giant and completely honest misunderstanding.
00:02:46.640 In a previous position in a previous administration, Dr. Susan Monterey had essentially an email that was not hers,
00:02:59.220 but belonged to the CDC and, therefore, it auto-generated pro-vaccination content.
00:03:06.900 She is not an advocate for mandatory vaccination.
00:03:11.100 She's not an advocate for childhood or six-month-old babies.
00:03:15.120 So words got attributed to her that she never said, that she never authorized, and that she never approved.
00:03:21.620 I'm very relieved to hear this, frankly.
00:03:26.220 And I appreciate Secretary Kennedy answering our question.
00:03:30.800 If you're just tuning in, this is the Stone Zone, and we're taking your calls at 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:03:42.100 Here is Alex from Bala Kinwood, Pennsylvania, says, will J.D. Vance succeed Donald Trump as president?
00:03:53.240 Well, in politics, a week is a lifetime, and we're not even a year into the president's first term.
00:04:01.480 I did notice that in a press conference recently, when the president was asked that question, he gave what we call the full Eisenhower.
00:04:10.140 In other words, when they asked Dwight Eisenhower, who, by the way, was one of our greatest presidents under Dwight Eisenhower,
00:04:17.180 we had unprecedented peace and prosperity, ended the conflict in Korea.
00:04:23.280 We weren't allowed to call it a war, and also the last president to have a balanced federal budget and no deficit.
00:04:31.480 Anyway, Ike was a great president, but when he was asked whether Nixon would succeed him, he basically punted and said, well, we'll see.
00:04:40.080 And then very famously, when he was asked, could you name any presidential decision in which Vice President Nixon had had an outsized role or responsibility?
00:04:53.500 And Eisenhower said, well, give me a week and I'll think about it, which was very damaging to Vice President Nixon in his presidential campaign against John Kennedy in 1960.
00:05:07.100 In our party, of course, in the Republican Party, hegemony is, very importantly, the natural order of things.
00:05:14.200 I think the president gave the right answer, which is, let's see how J.D. Vance does.
00:05:19.020 So far, I think he's doing great.
00:05:21.320 He really doesn't get credit in these confirmation fights in the Senate, whether it is Robert Kennedy or Tulsi Gabbard or Kash Patel or Scott Besson,
00:05:30.280 who could be, by the way, the greatest secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton.
00:05:35.340 But the guy counting votes, the guy behind the scenes, figuring out who's solid, who's shaky, who needs to be spoken to, and who the nominees need to go sit down with,
00:05:49.380 the guy who quarterbacked all those confirmations was J.D. Vance.
00:05:53.960 He wasn't looking for credit.
00:05:55.620 He wasn't looking for the spotlight, but he did a phenomenal job.
00:05:59.600 I think that, given the natural order of things, he would certainly be the front-runner for the Republican nomination.
00:06:07.500 And whether it's George H.W. Bush or Richard Milhouse Nixon, we have a great tendency to nominate those who serve as vice president.
00:06:19.660 We really kind of believe on that.
00:06:21.700 Peter, in New Jersey, you have a thought.
00:06:24.980 Welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:06:26.540 Hey, how you doing, Roger?
00:06:27.420 Yeah, Peter from New Jersey.
00:06:29.760 I would just want to mention, Roger, I heard, you know, he talked about always Richard Nixon all the time.
00:06:34.860 And it's funny.
00:06:35.880 I'm 50 years old right now.
00:06:37.700 But when I was like 24, 25-ish, I worked for an independent contractor delivering packages.
00:06:45.060 And I was in my father's Ford Escort, believe it or not, back in those days, little four-cylinders, really good gas mileage.
00:06:53.480 And I was looking for a house in Saddle River.
00:06:57.880 And I picked the wrong road.
00:07:00.000 So I pulled down the street, and there was a big cul-de-sac.
00:07:04.300 And in the middle of the road in this cul-de-sac, there was a tall guy with a fedora on, and he was walking this little poodle.
00:07:13.980 And it was like Saturday morning or something, and it just rained or it just drizzled.
00:07:18.380 And I had my window open.
00:07:20.200 And I go around his bed slowly.
00:07:22.640 And this guy, and then he turns and looks right at me because I had my window open.
00:07:26.100 And I smiled at him.
00:07:27.440 And he smiled.
00:07:28.180 And I'm like, hey, how you doing?
00:07:29.240 It looked like he was like my uncle or something, you know?
00:07:31.780 And I was looking for the house.
00:07:33.480 And it wasn't the house.
00:07:34.380 So I just smiled, and I just drove away.
00:07:36.960 And at the end of the street, I said, I think that was one of the ex-presidents of the United States.
00:07:41.660 Yeah, that was President Nixon walking his dog, Brownie.
00:07:47.960 Brownie, wow.
00:07:48.860 It was like a little poodle.
00:07:50.340 And he was like a really tall guy.
00:07:52.100 So he really stood out, you know?
00:07:53.980 Yeah, no, it's a great story, Peter.
00:07:56.160 Thank you for calling.
00:07:57.340 Of course, Richard Nixon's political career was saved by a dog.
00:08:00.920 You might remember when he was nominated for vice president in 1952, there were allegations
00:08:08.060 that he had a secret fund financed by multimillionaires that kept he and his wife in a style that they
00:08:18.340 could not afford on the public payroll.
00:08:20.100 It was a canard.
00:08:21.120 It was promulgated.
00:08:22.800 The story came from the New York Post, the old New York Post, then owned by Dorothy Schiff.
00:08:26.980 And there was a drumbeat of Republicans, including New York Governor Tom Dewey, beginning to demand
00:08:33.980 that Nixon withdraw from the ticket or that Eisenhower drop him from the ticket so as not
00:08:38.900 to stop the chances of the election of the first Republican president in many decades.
00:08:44.880 Nixon made a canny decision to take his case directly to the people.
00:08:50.260 So rather than submit his fate to General Eisenhower, he very famously went to a TV studio in Los Angeles
00:08:58.740 and did a live half-hour broadcast in which he laid out the facts of the matter
00:09:05.300 and very famously said, and there's one other thing he said, we did get a gift.
00:09:11.160 It was a Cocker Spaniel named Checkers.
00:09:15.220 A man sent it all the way from Texas.
00:09:17.340 And I want to say right now, no matter what anybody says about it, the kids love that dog
00:09:22.900 and we're keeping that dog.
00:09:25.420 Schmaltzy, yes, but it electrified the country.
00:09:29.240 The Eisenhower and the Republicans were inundated with telegrams and messages saying, keep Nixon.
00:09:35.980 The Eisenhower-Nixon team went up in the polls and Nixon saved his career.
00:09:43.040 Peter, thanks for calling.
00:09:44.760 Let's see, Stephen in Westchester.
00:09:49.080 Stephen, what's on your mind?
00:09:51.320 Yes, hi.
00:09:52.600 I want to ask you a question about Donald Trump on the ticket,
00:09:58.420 that he's going to make the prices cheaper for the regular American in the groceries.
00:10:04.080 So I see him making tariffs, which will make the economy more growth, like he says,
00:10:10.020 but I don't see it breaking the prices in the groceries.
00:10:14.340 Well, actually, I checked this this morning.
00:10:16.960 The price of a dozen eggs went from $8 to $5.50.
00:10:20.820 The price of a gallon of home heating oil went down, I think, 42 percent, pardon me, $0.42.
00:10:32.280 The cost of a gallon of gasoline went down 31 percent.
00:10:36.980 So I do think we're still in Biden's economy.
00:10:40.400 We're still suffering the effects of the massive spending and the massive printing of money.
00:10:49.400 I mean, the Federal Reserve just prints money like there is no tomorrow.
00:10:53.780 So I still don't think it's so early that we can call this Trump's economy.
00:10:59.940 About a year in, either it is or it isn't.
00:11:04.580 Renewing the tax cuts is a key element to revitalizing the economy.
00:11:09.700 The idea that the tax cuts under Trump or the tax cuts under Kennedy or the tax cuts under Reagan caused the deficits or caused inflation is, unfortunately, just inaccurate.
00:11:24.100 If you go back and look, actually, you'll see that federal revenues actually spiked after every one of those federal tax cuts.
00:11:32.100 Now, they are not tax cuts for the rich.
00:11:34.020 That is baloney.
00:11:35.360 They're across the board tax cuts.
00:11:37.080 In other words, every American, regardless of income bracket, got a tax cut from Donald Trump.
00:11:42.400 If you could cut taxes again, or in this case, renew the tax cuts, and then you could actually effectuate the savings that Elon Musk is finding through Doge, which are literally not millions, not billions, but trillions of dollars.
00:11:59.860 If you could do those two things simultaneously, I think you would have a boom economy by the time we get to the midterm elections.
00:12:10.420 The other key, of course, is to bring down energy prices.
00:12:14.520 But drill, baby, drill is one of the key elements of Trump's program.
00:12:19.340 And I think that that is happening as we speak.
00:12:22.260 The Biden administration, before the election, had actually began giving out drilling permits for natural gas and oil because they had so stalled their own economy with their anti-fossil fuel programs.
00:12:35.000 But Trump understands that low gasoline prices, low oil prices, low fuel prices are the absolute cornerstone to a booming economy.
00:12:46.920 And candidly, our control in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican control, is so narrow.
00:12:53.180 I don't know that it is an accurate reflection of where the country is.
00:12:58.660 I mean, Trump did win the popular vote.
00:13:01.040 He also won all seven swing states.
00:13:03.040 Very hard for me to believe, for example, that he won Arizona, but the U.S. Senate candidate in Arizona, Cary Lake, was defeated.
00:13:10.520 It's almost antithetical to reason when you try to go do the math.
00:13:16.100 That's why I was glad to see him finally move for paper ballots and to have our elections on one day.
00:13:22.240 So we're not counting votes three weeks after the election.
00:13:25.500 You're tuned in to the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:13:29.980 Our call in number 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:13:36.740 And when we come back, we'll take more of your questions.
00:13:40.280 I see I've got questions about UFOs.
00:13:42.860 I've got questions about, oh, this is a good one.
00:13:45.160 How much sleep does Donald Trump actually get each day?
00:13:47.780 We'll be right back.

00:14:16.220 I'm Roger Stone on the phone.
00:14:18.540 We're taking your calls at 800-848-9222.
00:14:22.320 Kathleen in Westchester, you have a question.
00:14:25.080 Welcome to the Stone Zone, Kathleen.
00:14:27.620 Hi, Roger.
00:14:28.520 Thanks for taking my call.
00:14:29.760 I just wanted to see if you knew anything about the Association of Rockefeller.
00:14:35.820 And back in the World War II time, they had an alliance called the Drug Alliance with a company in Germany that ultimately was related to Bayer, which is Bayer Afrin and related to Rockefeller.
00:14:49.400 And they actually produced the gas that was used for the gas chambers in the concentration camps.
00:15:00.160 And go forward to today, they are involved with backing the anti-Israel demonstrations.
00:15:08.080 You look on their website and you'll see they're all pro-justice.
00:15:11.360 Yes, I have read about this.
00:15:14.060 And I think everything you said is accurate.
00:15:16.980 A number of these German-based corporations later do business in the United States and have some very, very questionable connections.
00:15:26.420 Essentially, the Rockefellers hijacked the entire medical industry, our medical industrial complex, we call it.
00:15:34.920 And this mentality that everything that's wrong with you can be solved by simply taking this pill is not accurate.
00:15:43.400 For many decades, I have practiced Eastern medicine, acupuncture, herbs, breathing exercises, and has kept me pretty fit.
00:15:53.000 So Eastern medicine is thousands of years old.
00:15:56.860 Western medicine, as mandated by the Rockefellers, is only a couple hundred years old.
00:16:01.300 I'm not saying, by the way, if you don't feel well, you shouldn't go to your doctor.
00:16:05.180 I believe in medical freedom.
00:16:06.980 I believe in health freedom.
00:16:08.740 I believe it should be up to you to make those decisions.
00:16:12.900 But at the same time, I don't buy this ethos that everything that's wrong with you can be solved by taking this extremely expensive little pill.
00:16:24.900 We'll be back in the Stone Zone taking your calls on the other side.
00:16:28.480 That number, 800-848-9222.
00:16:32.020 Whether it's news, politics, style, culture, whatever you want to talk about, please call us, 800-848-9222.
00:16:42.800 We'll be right back.
00:16:43.580 We'll be right back.
00:16:47.120 We'll be right back.
00:16:48.000 We'll be right back.
00:17:17.980 And we're back in the Stone Zone.
00:17:20.420 This is a segment we call Roger Stone on the phone.
00:17:23.640 President Donald Trump announced today that he was withdrawing the nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik from New York's 21st District.
00:17:30.700 That's up there by the Canadian border to be our ambassador to the United Nations.
00:17:36.980 I see Regina in Huntington calls in.
00:17:39.680 Regina, you have a comment or a question?
00:17:41.780 All right.
00:17:47.720 Let me speak to this question.
00:17:50.620 I think that the president made this decision because the Republican margin in the House is so narrow.
00:17:58.220 What we see in the polling is a phenomenon now in which Democrats who are all cranked up.
00:18:04.380 There we go.
00:18:04.740 Regina, are you with us now?
00:18:06.720 Yes.
00:18:07.140 And I just want to say it is a pleasure to be talking to you.
00:18:10.240 You are my hero.
00:18:11.820 You are everyone's hero.
00:18:13.620 They trashed you so bad.
00:18:15.800 But guess what?
00:18:17.660 Not true.
00:18:18.380 So thank you so much for everything you have done.
00:18:21.460 And let's go.
00:18:22.440 I heard about Elise today.
00:18:23.780 I was just a little confused because I'm working, but I'm here now.
00:18:28.480 Let me have it.
00:18:29.480 What do you got?
00:18:30.140 Let me explain it.
00:18:31.480 So what we have going on in the country in these special elections, there was one in Pennsylvania that the Republicans surprisingly lost outside of Lancaster.
00:18:39.860 It was a state Senate seat.
00:18:41.040 The polling in those two North Florida districts showed that Democrats in a special election situation in which there's always very light voting are more motivated to turn out because they're furious that Donald Trump is actually executing and implementing his agenda.
00:19:01.680 So they're they're very angry about doge.
00:19:05.420 See, they like, I guess, waste, fraud and corruption.
00:19:08.220 They think the open border is a good thing, I guess.
00:19:11.640 They think we continue this endless war between Ukraine and Russia and you and I should pay for it.
00:19:18.640 So Democrats are highly motivated where Republicans are kind of fat and happy.
00:19:23.620 Republican voters kind of look at how great Donald Trump is doing and how he's keeping all of his promises.
00:19:27.840 And they think that the battle is won and therefore they are less likely to turn out.
00:19:34.140 And special elections are unique, particularly in New York state, where the the there is no primary party leaders of the Republican, conservative and Democrat party choose the nominee.
00:19:47.880 The voters do not choose the nominee.
00:19:49.800 And polling in North Florida shows that the Matt Gates district is probably safe, but that the other district, I think it's the sixth district.
00:20:00.600 This is the seat of Mike Walsh is competitive, which it should not be.
00:20:03.920 It's only competitive because of who turns out in a special election.
00:20:07.360 So I think a hard look at the New York district indicated that this could be uphill for the Republicans, that Elise Stefanik could easily get reelected there.
00:20:18.280 But putting that seat at risk right now risks the entire House majority and that we cannot do.
00:20:26.740 So the president, who has shares my extremely high regard for Elise Stefanik, because she's a fighter, she is a real fighter, said that he temporarily, I think, withdraw her nomination to be ambassador to the U.N.
00:20:39.920 So as not to risk that seat.
00:20:42.300 So as not to risk the majority.
00:20:45.440 This is a very selfless act by Elise Stefanik of stepping aside, at least temporarily.
00:20:51.080 I predict great things for her anyway.
00:20:53.380 She could be a candidate for governor.
00:20:54.700 She could be someday be certainly will be in the cabinet.
00:20:58.560 She could someday be vice president.
00:21:00.380 I think she could be our she could could be one of our first women presidents, although I'm a big Tulsi Gabbard fan as well.
00:21:08.200 But that's the back story on why the president decided to withdraw this nomination.
00:21:13.940 Regina, thanks so much for your call.
00:21:16.340 I have an email message from Mildred.
00:21:18.580 Mildred Mildred is in, let's see, she's outside of Newark, New Jersey.
00:21:25.260 She says she is buying a suit for her grandson.
00:21:28.800 He has just gotten his first job, which requires him to wear a suit.
00:21:32.620 Her question is, cuffs or no cuffs?
00:21:35.720 Excellent question.
00:21:36.520 Now, on the one hand, it's an aesthetic question.
00:21:39.400 It's a matter of personal choice.
00:21:40.740 But on the other hand, the purpose of the cuff, also known as a rain catcher, at the bottom of your trouser leg is to weigh down the trouser.
00:21:51.000 Pardon me.
00:21:51.680 So that it hangs properly.
00:21:53.800 Now, the cuff can be two inches.
00:21:56.160 It can be an inch and a half.
00:21:57.380 Either one is appropriate.
00:21:58.380 But it will make the, particularly with a lighter fabric, will make the trouser hang properly.
00:22:06.140 There's an old saying that a proper trouser begins at the shoulder.
00:22:11.440 That's because I wear braces, sometimes called suspenders.
00:22:14.560 But I would, all things being equal, I would go with the cuffs, Mildred.
00:22:19.540 But thank you very much for your question.
00:22:22.480 Let's see.
00:22:23.520 Chris in Beth Page, you've been waiting quite a while.
00:22:25.800 Chris, welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:22:28.380 Hey, Roger.
00:22:30.000 I was just curious.
00:22:31.300 Now that the Dems are making hay with this crazy, you know, Houthi attack, it's leaked, and this is all that's going on.
00:22:38.660 Do you know what ever became of the biggest leak, which was the overturning of Roe versus Wade before the midterm elections, which averted a red wave, which was going to happen?
00:22:52.360 That wasn't supposed to be released until after the election.
00:22:55.040 Listen, who leaked it, and it's Cash Patel looking into this.
00:22:58.980 I'm still curious over that.
00:23:00.560 I never got to the bottom of it.
00:23:01.920 It's an excellent question.
00:23:03.440 I don't know the answer to it.
00:23:05.460 It would kind of be kind of chasing the horse after the, or closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped.
00:23:11.540 But you're absolutely right.
00:23:13.480 I do think that the leaking of that was either done to prevent it from happening, hoping that perhaps the court would lose their nerve, or to try to affect the elections, which it most certainly temporarily did.
00:23:27.560 But there's also the fake narrative of the left, which is that Donald Trump and the Republicans outlawed abortion.
00:23:36.260 They want to outlaw abortion, which is, of course, not true.
00:23:38.840 What our position is, this is a decision that should be left to the states.
00:23:43.800 That's, I think, Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided to begin with.
00:23:48.200 There's a great movie, by the way, called Roe v. Wade, produced by my good friend Nick Loeb.
00:23:52.340 I love it because I had a small part in it.
00:23:54.840 I got to play a Washington Post reporter, and I think I nailed it.
00:23:58.840 I'm as sleazy and dishonest as you could possibly be.
00:24:02.820 I think I really captured the role.
00:24:05.740 But, Chris, thank you so much for your question.
00:24:10.120 Lee from New Jersey, you've been waiting.
00:24:12.920 You want to talk about the tax bill?
00:24:18.540 Lee, are you with us?
00:24:19.620 All right, we will move on.
00:24:25.860 I was in a restaurant today.
00:24:27.320 A guy came up to me and said,
00:24:28.680 Hey, Stone, where's that crypto I bought from you on Facebook?
00:24:32.340 Well, when are you going to send it to me?
00:24:33.540 And I said, pardon me?
00:24:34.920 He said, yeah, the crypto that I bought from you on Facebook.
00:24:37.680 Folks, I'm not on Facebook.
00:24:39.360 If you're following A. Roger Stone on Facebook, that is not me.
00:24:43.960 I'm actually banned for life on Facebook and on Instagram.
00:24:48.300 They don't really give you a reason.
00:24:50.400 This is a vestige of the 2017 period, where if you were a Trump supporter, you needed to be censored.
00:24:56.560 You needed to become a non-person.
00:25:00.280 But there are a number of unscrupulous people who pretend to be me on X, which used to be called Twitter, pretend to be me on Facebook.
00:25:08.760 There's even a few which pretend to be on Instagram.
00:25:11.440 None of them are me.
00:25:12.680 I am on X at Roger J. Stone Jr., Roger J. Stone Jr.
00:25:17.700 I'm over there at True Social, too, as real Roger Stone.
00:25:21.200 I really love True Social.
00:25:23.100 That's the social media platform owned by the president.
00:25:26.760 It's a great way to connect with other MAGA supporters.
00:25:30.920 It's a vibrant community over there.
00:25:32.500 I like both of them.
00:25:33.480 I don't know if I could ever go back to Facebook, but folks, don't get bamboozled and don't get conned and don't send your money to anybody claiming to be Roger Stone because, well, I'm not on Facebook and that is not me.
00:25:46.580 By the way, when my lawyers, I have my lawyers contact the meta company and ask them to please take these profiles down, it takes them a long time to act.
00:25:58.660 And then when they do act, they take them down and they just pop up again with a slight variance in your name.
00:26:06.400 So you become Roger J.J. Stone Jr.
00:26:10.020 And they're still conning people.
00:26:11.540 Folks, don't get conned.
00:26:13.160 Let's see.
00:26:15.560 We're taking your calls, by the way, still at 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:26:22.800 Bob from New Jersey, you have a comment.
00:26:26.480 How are you doing tonight, Roger?
00:26:28.060 You're a great American.
00:26:29.320 We appreciate everything you do for us.
00:26:31.620 Yeah, I wanted to talk about Social Security, you know, with the cost of living.
00:26:35.680 You know, there's been talk for years that they're going to raise their Social Security.
00:26:39.920 You think that's going to happen?
00:26:41.120 I do not think it's going to happen.
00:26:44.260 I think it is a flag waved by the Democrats in every election.
00:26:47.880 Just in the last week, we had Chuck Schumer saying that Trump plans to cut Social Security benefits.
00:26:52.760 We had AOC saying it.
00:26:54.980 They trot out this old saw every two years or every four years.
00:26:59.520 Since getting into politics, Trump has always been very clear that Social Security is a sacred trust.
00:27:06.160 People paid into it and that they're not going to cut Social Security benefits.
00:27:11.100 That is a fraud.
00:27:12.660 Now, are there long-term solvency issues?
00:27:15.540 There are.
00:27:16.280 But it's interesting that Joe Biden took credit for a cost of living increase in Social Security benefits that was actually formulated and signed into law by one Richard M. Nixon.
00:27:31.040 Listen, so there's a lot of politics around this issue, and you've got to be very careful about what you take to be real.
00:27:39.420 We love free speech, but not all of the speakers are telling the truth.
00:27:43.860 Jim from upstate New York, what's on your mind?
00:27:46.980 Hi, Roger.
00:27:49.300 I love the show.
00:27:50.140 I love your perspective on everything.
00:27:52.080 You know what I really do love the most, though, is when you talk about your faith, you know, and how important it is into your life.
00:27:57.940 You know, and I really do believe that President Trump has the full armor of God, that God was protected, that God's led him to this, protected him during the assassination attempts, protected you.
00:28:08.720 And, you know, everyone's walked a while of their life when they were younger, including me, and you realize what's so important in life.
00:28:15.780 You know what I mean, that this life is so temporary compared to eternity.
00:28:19.580 And honestly, I feel like the last administration, it was like, they were like demonic looters in the White House, trying to steal everything that this country was given by God from its inception.
00:28:30.900 Yeah, I appreciate your call and your thoughts.
00:28:34.120 People make fun of this.
00:28:35.320 I mean, yes, I am redeemed in the blood of the cross.
00:28:37.500 They say that there are no atheists in foxholes.
00:28:40.500 And, yes, it is absolutely true that I wandered very far from the Lord when I was much younger, and I did some truly wild and crazy things.
00:28:49.420 But that was then and not today.
00:28:52.200 And when I was redeemed, when I went back to church, when I confessed my sins, which is what is required for a Christian, the Washington Monthly, like, mocked me.
00:29:03.660 Oh, sure, Roger Stone, this is another dirty trick.
00:29:06.840 What a head fake and so on.
00:29:07.980 And I don't really care what they think, in all honesty.
00:29:10.360 I only care what he thinks, the big man.
00:29:14.080 And how everybody chooses to follow God is up to them.
00:29:20.080 I do talk about it because I've had five miracles in my own life.
00:29:25.120 My wife was diagnosed with very aggressive stage 4 cancer right after I was pardoned from the Russian collusion hoax in which, finally, after a lawsuit by BuzzFeed against the U.S. Department of Justice, they were forced to release Robert Mueller's long-hidden report, which had redacted all the sections about me.
00:29:46.280 And even Mueller admitted that he had found no evidence of Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime on my part.
00:29:53.600 That is, of course, a miracle that Donald Trump saw that they were merely trying to pressure me based on false allegations in order to get me to testify falsely against him.
00:30:04.980 First of all, I wouldn't do it as a matter of principle, but secondarily, I had taken multiple polygraph tests, multiple lie detector tests on each one of these key points, and it would have been a lie.
00:30:16.140 They wanted me to sign a lie.
00:30:17.880 They wanted me to testify to a lie, and I would not do it.
00:30:21.260 So, look, the fact that I'm with you tonight, the fact that I did not die of COVID in some dank Georgia prison, the fact that my wife is alive and well and thriving and cancer-free, these are miracles that I attribute to God Almighty, and I'm not ashamed to say it.
00:30:39.860 You disagree with me, you can choose to believe anything you want.
00:30:44.200 You can be whatever faith you want to be, but I'm going to continue to talk about the Almighty and the role that it has played in my life.
00:30:52.000 I mean, I was in a horrific car accident the day after the 22 election in Memphis.
00:30:58.380 I was going to see Mike Lindell, and a car came barreling through the intersection, and T-boned the car I was driving in, riding in, totaled the car.
00:31:08.520 The two security guys riding me were both badly injured.
00:31:13.400 It happened in a flash of a second, but I walked away without a scratch, and as soon as I could get to a safe place, I got down on my knees, and I thanked God, because that is an act of God, and I've had several similar miracles in my life.
00:31:29.340 So, I really appreciate your call, Jim.
00:31:31.180 It's very thoughtful and very kind, and God bless you for calling.
00:31:34.600 Folks, we're in the Stone Zone here.
00:31:36.620 We're taking your calls at 800-848-9222, 848-9222.
00:31:43.080 Again, 800-848-9222.
00:31:45.940 I'm Roger Stone.
00:31:47.080 You're in the zone, and, well, we'll be right back.
00:31:50.460 Take a few more of your calls, whether it is news, politics, history, food, style, or culture.
00:31:57.860 We'll take your calls here in the Stone Zone.
00:32:00.200 We'll be right back.
00:32:01.520 And we're back in the zone, the Stone Zone, that is.
00:32:09.200 Evan in New Jersey, you have a call.
00:32:11.780 By the way, that number, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.
00:32:17.580 Evan, welcome into the zone.
00:32:20.600 Hey, Roger.
00:32:21.200 Thank you so much for taking my call.
00:32:23.000 Big fan of yours.
00:32:24.040 I was curious on a couple things, like, you know, I remember reading about how China had acquired land.
00:32:32.940 I don't know how.
00:32:34.140 I think a lot of Americans are concerned, but it's something that's not really covered in the news, how they've acquired some farmland in the Midwest and all that.
00:32:41.160 And I think you sometimes see maps of it, but I was curious what your thoughts, and what were the measures that, like, we would be able to reacquire that?
00:32:49.560 Is that something that's on Trump's map?
00:32:51.380 Is that even a threat to America at this time?
00:32:54.760 I'm just curious.
00:32:55.840 Yeah.
00:32:56.160 It's an excellent question.
00:32:57.360 I think you're really understating it, the Chinese or people fronting for them, you know, Chinese nationals, because everything there really belongs to the party, have acquired thousands and thousands of prime ranch land and farmland across the United States.
00:33:14.940 They've also bought a lot of utilities like ports, airports, toll roads, bridges, tunnels, and so on.
00:33:23.040 In Canada, you cannot purchase land unless you are a Canadian.
00:33:28.400 If you're a Chinese or if you're an American, for that matter, you're not permitted to buy land.
00:33:34.000 The U.S. Agriculture Department in the last year of Joe Biden's presidency said that the Chinese only had 360 acres of farmland in the United States.
00:33:45.480 I happen to know that they have 360,000 acres nationwide.
00:33:51.480 I happen to know that they have 380,000 acres in Oklahoma alone.
00:33:57.300 That's just one state.
00:33:58.700 So the Agriculture Department has been understating this number.
00:34:02.720 This is very simple.
00:34:03.700 We need to pass a law by both houses of Congress, and the president needs to sign it, saying that you cannot purchase land in the United States if you are a Chinese communist or somebody who is fronting for the Chinese communists.
00:34:15.740 It's really that simple.
00:34:16.780 It's just a matter of will.
00:34:18.660 I've seen polling on this.
00:34:20.240 The American people are overwhelmingly for it, a ban on the Chinese buying up our country.
00:34:26.560 Look, they have already infected a business.
00:34:29.600 They own some of the largest blue chip companies in the country.
00:34:34.220 They're burrowed into academia.
00:34:36.660 They're burrowed into all of our institutions.
00:34:38.720 They're certainly burrowed into our universities.
00:34:41.540 At a certain point, it is their plan to take over without firing a shot.
00:34:46.580 That is the truth, the stone-cold truth, for that matter.
00:34:50.200 So you raise an excellent issue, and it is very understated, if anything at all.
00:34:57.860 I did get this email, which I have to respond to very quickly.
00:35:02.640 Someone says, I saw you on the Internet saying that John F. Kennedy was addicted to methamphetamine.
00:35:09.320 Are you out of your mind?
00:35:10.200 No, actually, John F. Kennedy was being treated by Dr. Max Jacobson, who was a New York practitioner,
00:35:18.460 who was treating all the beautiful people of the day, Frank Sinatra and Maria Calais and Leonard Bernstein, Nelson Rockefeller, and others.
00:35:26.880 And he was giving all of his patients a proprietary early blend of methamphetamine.
00:35:33.840 He told them that it was vitamins and enzymes.
00:35:36.520 They all knew it made them feel much better.
00:35:39.800 But he was very definitely attending President John F. Kennedy as well as Jackie Kennedy.
00:35:45.540 Why is this significant?
00:35:46.600 I believe it is one of the arguments that was used to rationalize his murder by the deep state, by the political establishment.
00:35:55.940 Good God, the man is a drug addict, and he could give away the store to Nikita Khrushchev.
00:36:00.720 That was the argument.
00:36:02.100 So there's a great book about this called Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Max Jacobson.
00:36:06.680 You can look it up yourself.
00:36:07.960 I'm right on the money on this issue.
00:36:10.820 As far as the JFK assassination records are concerned, I think that there are still deep state bureaucrats who are working to evade the president's full disclosure order.
00:36:22.340 And we have not seen everything we need to see.
00:36:25.340 We're running out of time here on the Stone Zone.
00:36:27.280 Thank you for calling in.
00:36:28.380 Thank you for joining us.
00:36:29.380 Until we meet again, God bless you and Godspeed.
00:36:32.580 And yes, God bless America.
00:36:34.600 We'll be right back.
