00:00:47.920
run so i am so glad to be back in the zone with you there's so much breaking news remember new york
00:00:55.980
democrat attorney general latisha tish james she's the one who used a new york state law that has
00:01:04.180
never been used before to charge president donald trump with inflating the value of his assets in
00:01:12.680
order to obtain commercial loans for his real estate projects every penny was of course paid back on time
00:01:23.160
in some cases early and the banks that loaned him the money made 40 million dollars in interest
00:01:31.600
every one of them said they would be pleased to do business with the trump organization yet again
00:01:37.800
this was part of the tsunami of lawfare part and parcel of the same operation that
00:01:44.820
made a change in new york state law to extend the statute of limitations for sexual assault so that e
00:01:54.380
jean carroll could file a lawsuit claiming she had been sexually assaulted by trump over 30 years ago
00:02:03.380
when the democrats and legislature made that minor amendment little did they know that they would
00:02:10.820
catch uh andrew cuomo and mayor eric adams in similar sexual assault lawsuits anyway uh latisha james was
00:02:20.380
speaking yesterday to reverend al sharpton's national action network convention and she says she's going
00:02:45.660
now if you could make that out uh latisha james said i ain't afraid of no president donald trump why she
00:03:07.660
chooses to talk like a ghetto rat i don't know she has a fine education and a law degree i guess that
00:03:17.400
is to appeal to the rabble but i would say that she should be more concerned with herself we learned
00:03:25.420
only yesterday due to the great reporting by sam antar at whitecollarfraud.com that latisha james who
00:03:34.000
built her career allegedly on exposing deception uh has a real estate transaction in norwalk norfolk
00:03:42.540
virginia which actually happened just weeks before the trump fraud trial she championed opened
00:03:49.820
that raises serious questions about her own compliance with new york state law a declaration
00:03:56.300
buried in legal filing states her intent to make her virginia home her principal residence
00:04:03.620
she writes i hereby declare that i intend to occupy this property as my political
00:04:10.160
principal residence close quote those awards appear in black and white in a specific power of attorney
00:04:18.400
signed by james and filed in norfolk virginia on august 17th 2023 authorizing one of her relatives to
00:04:26.160
act on her behalf in a transaction that included that very declaration now those were not the words
00:04:32.680
written by a lawyer acting in james behalf they're her own words that is as my friend sam antar points
00:04:40.760
out her intent it is most definitely her signature this is a smoking gun on its own completely separate
00:04:49.400
from how the mortgage might be interpreted because it stands as a clear declaration of intent from a
00:04:56.500
sitting new york state attorney general to establish principal residence in another state the 219 000
00:05:06.040
mortgage requires occupancy within 60 days not possible of course because she was in the new york courts daily
00:05:14.140
during that time under new york state law moving out of state uh on a uh a technical basis in other words
00:05:22.440
moving your principal residency creates an automatic vacancy in the office you hold
00:05:29.560
uh the property and the mortgage in question well they're missing from latisha james official disclosures
00:05:37.300
uh this was not some boilerplate language that she inadvertently signed it is a standalone legal
00:05:44.740
declaration uh this is but one of the problems that i think the attorney general faces the other one frankly is the habitual
00:05:55.940
use of state and campaign resources for her personal use uh is it a coincidental that on the same date that she
00:06:06.700
spends eight thousand plus dollars using a state airplane to fly to martha's vineyard her campaign pays
00:06:16.860
a two thousand dollar cost for the rental of a beachfront rental uh there's that is just one of
00:06:24.940
uh several flights that seem to coincide either with campaign uh business or her personal business that by the way is
00:06:34.860
a federal income tax violation if there was personal benefit to her so if i were attorney james james i would
00:06:44.780
not be worried about no president donald trump i'd be worried about myself because federal and state
00:06:52.220
officials are sure to look at all of this meanwhile it turns out that the chief justice of the u.s supreme
00:07:01.020
court has a secret friendship with the chief architect of donald trump's uh tsunami of lawfare one norm eisen
00:07:10.860
uh i guess we finally know why jester roberts acts the way he does it turns out that he's a very good
00:07:17.020
friend with one of the biggest deep state operatives on the planet a man literally known as the architect
00:07:24.060
of the russian collusion hoax the architect of the uh ukrainian impeachment hoax uh the architect of the uh
00:07:35.420
of the january 6 uh uh phenomena uh an architect of the multiple prosecutions of donald trump uh in new york
00:07:45.500
all of which are legally flawed norm eisen admitted that he and chief justice john roberts spent a week
00:07:53.500
together in the czech republic working on quote america rule of law close quote issues what could
00:08:01.660
that possibly mean eisen claimed that roberts isn't corrupt he's just a close friend who happened to fly
00:08:08.620
overseas and stay at eisen's posh 150 room palace to corroborate collaborate on transatlantic political
00:08:19.340
projects this was not just some casual meetup this was a week-long stay at eisen's home in europe and
00:08:29.020
this is while roberts was serving as chief justice of the supreme court so we're talking about a so-called
00:08:36.380
rule of law collaboration from the same man who's made his mission to sabotage donald trump and bury
00:08:43.100
the america first movement in lawsuits and lawfare uh eisen most definitely has a hand in the recent
00:08:51.100
unconstitutional ruling in which judge jed bozberg uh has ruled that donald trump does not have the
00:08:59.020
authority to deport violent extremists and criminals from the united states uh how coincidental that judge
00:09:08.300
bosberg and judge amy berman jackson that's the judge who uh sat over my case and withheld exculpatory
00:09:17.180
evidence from my defense attorneys uh that proved beyond a shadow of doubt that there was no russian
00:09:23.660
collusion no wikileaks collaboration or any other crime on my part my lawyers filed a motion with the
00:09:32.060
judge to see robert muller's entire unredacted final report the judge denied it and said that
00:09:40.380
she would personally review the report and give any segments relevant to my defense to my defense
00:09:47.740
attorneys she failed to include in that a section that we learned about only through a lawsuit by
00:09:55.260
buzzfeed in which even robert muller could not sugarcoat the fact that he had found no evidence of
00:10:01.500
russian collusion wikileaks collaboration uh or any other crime on my part in fact he admitted that if
00:10:08.700
he had found uh that i had received anything from wikileaks which he didn't uh that it would not have
00:10:15.420
been a crime under the first amendment by the way don't look for that in the new york times or the
00:10:21.180
washington post or the wall street journal uh the department of justice decided to release that stunning
00:10:27.900
information uh at midnight on election day of 2020 in other words the busiest media day of the year
00:10:35.980
to ensure that it received no coverage whatsoever uh interestingly enough uh eisen also admitted
00:10:44.460
recently that uh judge roberts and justice amy coney barrett are so anti-trump that they are completely
00:10:51.980
compromised now i believe even though i'm not an attorney that this is a massive conflict of
00:10:58.460
interest justice roberts has no business presiding over any of the cases that eisen uh and his ilk
00:11:06.780
of lawfare activists are funneling through the courts eisen is tied up so many of these weaponized
00:11:13.580
cases that are aimed at thwarting the will of the american people uh and bringing about the change
00:11:21.100
that we voted for uh as senator ted cruz pointed out in the senate hearing the day before yesterday
00:11:29.260
what they do is they go forum shopping they find a particularly loony left-wing judge in any jurisdiction
00:11:38.540
across the country to get a ruling that is nationwide so they have a federal judge bozberg who by the way
00:11:49.580
with judge uh amy berman jackson showed up not wearing their robes of course to sit in the audience for
00:11:56.940
jack smith's indictment of donald trump in a case that was later dropped uh they find a judge who issues
00:12:05.500
a ruling that covers the entire country so they have federal judges who have ruled that trump doesn't
00:12:12.700
have the authority to close down the department of education which of course he does they have
00:12:17.820
found another judge who say that trump does not have the authority to lay off federal employees
00:12:23.660
which of course he does they have found yet another judge to rule that trump cannot as i say deport
00:12:32.140
dangerous illegal violent criminals and terrorists uh where will this all go well it should go to the
00:12:40.300
u.s supreme court uh but these new revelations about robert's conflict of interest uh are deeply troubling
00:12:50.620
now the the judiciary does have wide authority back in 1802 uh president thomas jefferson elected to
00:12:59.420
ignore the federal courts uh and the while the republic is still here i think that the president should
00:13:07.420
listen to a three judge appeals panel in a federal ruling but these random judges trying to undo the
00:13:14.380
will of the american people is judicial tyranny uh and my friends it will not stand president trump has
00:13:22.060
appealed directly to the u.s supreme court but judge john roberts cannot sit in judgment on that matter
00:13:29.900
because as i have just demonstrated he is hopelessly conflicted you won't hear this news anyplace else
00:13:36.860
but right here in the stone zone and right here on the red apple audio networks we'll be back with
00:13:43.580
more breaking of political news so whatever you do don't touch that dial because here you get the stone
00:13:51.420
cold truth and plenty of it this shrimp and coconut sauce is divine what's your secret goya coconut milk how
00:13:59.340
does it taste so good it's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich creamy texture what about
00:14:05.100
thickeners and added sugars none just smooth coconutty goodness what can i make with it from curries to
00:14:11.900
sweet treats like coconut flan the possibilities are endless goya coconut milk take your cooking to the
00:14:18.460
next level no question about it find it in the goya section of your local grocery store if it's goya it has
00:14:23.740
to be good this is the stone zone with roger stone the stone zone
00:14:31.340
this is the stone zone with roger stone they went after a guy named roger stone who's sitting in the
00:14:52.140
office and i'll say this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner than anybody in this
00:14:57.580
place now as i treated him very unfairly now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:15:09.420
well little laura loomer the investigative journalist and long-time friend of mine
00:15:17.260
was certainly in the news yesterday now loomer tells people that i am her mentor and that may be true
00:15:24.620
she was one of my strongest and most vocal supporters when my family and i were virtually
00:15:29.900
destroyed in the russian collusion hoax uh and i value loyalty if you're not loyal what do you have
00:15:38.060
does that mean i agree with everything laura loomer says and does most certainly not and i'm sure
00:15:43.180
she doesn't agree with everything i say and do but in this case they're upset because laura loomer
00:15:48.620
went to the president got a meeting with him he invited her by the way for those in the fake
00:15:53.820
news media who are flipping out uh and heard her out regarding certain officials uh in his
00:16:01.100
administration shortly after his meeting three members of the national security council staff
00:16:09.100
were fired the president says that his meeting with loomer did not affect his decision-making process
00:16:18.140
he said laura loomer is a very good patriot and a strong person i saw her yesterday for a little while
00:16:22.860
she makes recommendations of things and people and sometimes i listen to those recommendations
00:16:26.940
trump said did she have anything to do with the nsc aids that were asked to the president abruptly
00:16:32.780
responded no uh interestingly enough i think uh the individual the number two person in the national
00:16:41.180
security advisors alex wong if one will look at his background uh he is a bidenite his wife was a
00:16:47.900
u.s attorney under biden uh there's nothing america first about him he is kind of the first major
00:16:56.140
official that loomer identified as being a trump hater within the national security council team he's
00:17:04.380
still there the mainstream media is going absolutely ballistic with the allegations that loomer's responsible
00:17:11.500
for helping expel three members of trump's national security team suspecting of having pro-war foreign
00:17:18.700
policy agendas uh this uh is uh will be of course contradictory to president trump's pro-peace
00:17:26.460
position loomer went to the white house on wednesday entered the west wing spoke with the president
00:17:31.020
about several nsc staffers according to the new york times miss loomer walked into the white house
00:17:36.380
with the chief of papers two of the people said she proceeded to excoriate them in front of her
00:17:41.260
their boss and national security advisor mike waltz so uh you can say anything you want about laura loomer
00:17:49.340
she is the hardest working investigative journalist in the country uh and uh she's often right and in
00:17:56.300
this case she is absolutely right we saw the first trump administration agenda being diluted
00:18:04.700
delayed and derailed by some inside the fort that cannot happen again and thanks to laura loomer i
00:18:13.340
don't think it's going to when we come back we're going to go to our northern border and talk about the
00:18:19.580
election in canada and who will succeed justin trudeau you're in the right place it's the stone
00:18:27.020
zone the place for politics here on the red apple audio networks
00:18:41.100
this is the stone zone with roger stone they went after a guy named roger stone who's sitting in the
00:18:47.900
office and i'll say this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner than anybody in this
00:18:53.260
place now as i treated him very unfairly now get him his own it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:19:04.220
welcome back into the stone zone the canadian federal election is scheduled for monday april 28th
00:19:11.820
this date was set after prime minister mark carney who became prime minister upon the resignation of
00:19:19.180
justin trudeau advised the governor general to dissolve parliament on march 23rd 2025 triggering a 36 day
00:19:28.300
campaign period joining me now is stockwell day stockwell day has a long career in the forefront of
00:19:37.980
public policy development at the federal provincial and municipal levels of government uh he served as
00:19:45.180
as a member of the alberta legislature a member of the canadian parliament a high profile provincial
00:19:51.900
and federal cabinet minister and as canada's a leader of her majesty's official opposition team
00:20:00.060
at every stage he's worked tirelessly to advocate for canadians and for freedom i had the uh the blessed
00:20:06.860
opportunity to actually meet him in church uh and i'm delighted that he agreed to join us today uh stockwell
00:20:13.980
welcome to the stone zone thank you roger good to be with you uh i i'm a great admirer of pierre paliev
00:20:22.300
the uh leader of the conservative party of canada the head of the official opposition uh and i have to
00:20:29.180
play this short clip of him schooling a member of the fake news media on the on the topic i mean in terms of
00:20:38.060
your sort of strategy currently you're obviously taking the populist uh pathway um what does that
00:20:44.460
mean well appealing appealing to people's uh more emotional levels i would guess um i mean certainly
00:20:52.540
certainly certainly you certainly you tap certainly you tap uh very strong ideological language quite
00:20:57.820
frequently like what uh left wing you know this and that right wing you know i mean it's that that
00:21:05.020
type of ideological i never really talk about left or right anyways a lot of people i don't really
00:21:08.780
believe in that okay a lot of people would would say that you're simply taking a page out of the
00:21:14.300
donald trump uh like which people would say that well i'm sure a great many canadians but like who
00:21:23.020
i don't know who but well you're the one who asked the question so yeah you must know somebody
00:21:27.980
okay i'm sure there's some out there but anyways the point of this the point of this question is
00:21:33.500
i mean why should why should canadians trust you with their vote given you know not not just the
00:21:41.580
sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page of donald trump's book but what are you
00:21:46.540
talking about what page what page can you give me a page give me the page you keep saying in terms
00:21:51.340
in terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of of trudeau and and the left wing and all
00:21:56.700
of this i mean you you you make quite a you know it's it's quite a play that you make on it so i'm
00:22:02.060
i'm not sure i don't know i don't know what your question is okay then forget that why should
00:22:05.980
canadians trust you with their vote common sense common sense for for a change we're going to make
00:22:15.260
common sense common in this country we don't have any common sense in the current government you know
00:22:21.660
the guy prints 600 billion dollars grows our money supply by 32 percent in three years that's growing the
00:22:29.100
money eight times faster than the economy no wonder we have the worst of flight inflation in four
00:22:35.340
decades i'm going to cap spending cut waste so that we can balance the budget and bring down inflation and
00:22:41.260
interest rates you'll want to be able to pay your mortgage again you want to be able to afford rent
00:22:45.020
then you have to vote for pierre polyev because i'm the only one with a common sense plan that will
00:22:51.180
bring back the buying power of your paycheck now if you saw the actual video of that
00:22:57.660
pierre polyev is calmly eating an apple through the entire thing it's one of the greatest things i've
00:23:02.300
ever seen tucker carlson actually sent me that audio by text we both enjoyed it uh stock you know you
00:23:09.660
know the man tell us about him well i do know i've had the honor when i ran to be leader of the official
00:23:16.540
opposition this is 20 years ago over 20 years ago in canada um pierre at the time was a young uh
00:23:22.860
fired up university student and uh just because of the way he could connect with people we got him to
00:23:29.340
run our campus outreach program uh right across the country and he brought in just you know tons of
00:23:35.980
young and college age and educated vote then when i got elected i successfully won that particular
00:23:42.460
leadership campaign um pierre agreed to come to ottawa with me as my assistant worked with me for
00:23:49.180
a couple years in that regard so i know him well and i've watched him uh with great satisfaction
00:23:54.940
mature over the years and um not that he needed a lot of maturity but he's learned a lot so i'm not
00:24:01.180
surprised to this is the the type of way he addresses he expects direct answers from direct questions which
00:24:07.580
you don't often get from uh media and so i'm not surprised to see him uh do this and very pleased
00:24:14.460
to see how he is uh how he's running things as leader of the official opposition right now in canada
00:24:20.700
how would you describe the factors that led to justin trudeau's resignation uh my wife is cuban-american
00:24:31.340
she fully believes the idea that he may be the illegitimate son of fidel castro and margaret
00:24:38.220
trudeau who let's face it did as they say get around i don't know whether that's true or not but
00:24:43.500
i do know he's an authoritarian i do know when you seize the bank accounts of people because you don't
00:24:48.540
agree with their views i do know when you when you want every citizen in the country who owns a firearm
00:24:55.660
to register the fact that they own it uh that that's a step in an authoritarian direction when you
00:25:01.820
throw people in jail uh because they disagree with government policy people like tomorrow licht
00:25:08.300
and chris barber two uh folks that i know um i i know what he is but how would you describe the factors
00:25:15.340
that led to his resignation well i'm not surprised to see you've done the research there those are uh
00:25:23.500
all true factual uh events that you've you've talked about the other the what you started with
00:25:28.860
the rumors well you know that's out there and we'll let that float as it may um it took a number
00:25:34.460
of years for mainstream media in canada which uh leans significantly liberal small and uh small l and large
00:25:44.220
it took a long time for them to begin to uh report i would say the negative side of what he was doing
00:25:52.700
and uh really what you heard peer polyev articulate at the start of of the uh program here it's the
00:26:01.660
terrible impact of the fiscal policies people have lost their buying power people are not able to
00:26:08.060
purchase homes um on and on it goes inflation and uh it just became so increasingly obvious that media
00:26:18.140
mainstream media had to really start reporting it and as you know with mainstream media they largely
00:26:23.580
affect the undecided people in a population in in canada at any particular time that can be five to
00:26:31.420
eight percent nine percent of of people and they finally through uh polyev focusing on it with real
00:26:38.860
intensity and forcing the questions to be asked uh the public in general became increasingly
00:26:46.940
um disillusioned with justin trudeau because of how they saw what they saw happening mainly in their
00:26:55.580
own buying power we literally saw our future dissipating in front of our eyes mainstream media
00:27:03.020
had to start reporting that the last couple years as they did and started reporting accurately uh
00:27:08.700
trudeau continued to fall in the polls and peer polyev continued to rise the major factors in this country
00:27:16.380
in 2020 was the widespread use of censorship uh mostly on the internet but censorship across the board we
00:27:24.860
now know thanks to elon musk and his release of internal documents that our own american government
00:27:31.660
was coordinating with all of these social media giants to essentially silence any voice that talked about
00:27:38.860
uh whether it was the safety and effectiveness of the covet 19 vaccination or whether it was the
00:27:45.340
uh legitimacy and integrity of our elections or whether it was a hunter biden's a laptop which we
00:27:53.420
turned out uh thanks to the great reporting of the new york post to be completely authentic and real
00:27:59.020
i'm concerned about the extent to which censorship by the government is a real problem uh even worse than in
00:28:05.980
the united states uh in canada your thoughts well it's a problem and the way it works is the uh
00:28:13.980
government financing of what they call or what we call uh legacy media mainstream media uh the cbc the
00:28:21.500
canada canadian broadcasting corporation and some other mainstream media uh they have significant subsidies
00:28:28.380
available to them uh that other media don't and that's part of along with the fact roger that um most
00:28:35.980
people in mainstream media have been schooled uh in a philosophical and political world view which cranks
00:28:43.740
significantly to the left which is in fact uh culturally marxist um in terms of its viewpoint and um that
00:28:53.100
added with the fact that they could actually lose subsidies their entire subsidy if the conservatives
00:28:59.580
get elected i believe it just you know it strikes terror in their heart on the one hand and they're
00:29:04.860
absolutely convinced to the core that small c conservatism is evil and therefore a threat and therefore
00:29:14.140
taking a culturally marxist view um which is and is you know marx himself i'm not saying the media
00:29:19.740
or communism i'm using the expression culturally marxist uh which is if there are voices that are
00:29:25.340
speaking out against what the policy of the day is the voices must be silent and of course the way uh
00:29:32.860
you know stalin did it and the way uh through the soviet years it happened people would just be
00:29:37.660
you know eliminated in the public square it's different now thank god we have a democracy but um
00:29:44.140
the forces of these still find a way to eliminate in the public square or cancel people uh obviously
00:29:51.420
they don't physically do that um but it's been the use of that power the use of the large
00:29:57.980
megaphone uh mainstream media uh with the voice application of government subsidies that uh leads to
00:30:07.420
self-censorship first of all people are afraid to speak up and then actual censorship censorship it's
00:30:13.340
happened uh to me when i was cancelled a few years ago it's happened to others and they wield that
00:30:19.420
as a club which uh literally bludgeons anybody who wants to speak up on certain matters that are going
00:30:28.060
against the what they are trying to uh uh carve out as the mainstream view mainstream um uh philosophical
00:30:39.180
world view it's it it's an awful instrument um we have seen the ability to speak freely without
00:30:46.700
extreme punishment we've seen that uh increase in canada it was alarming to our international friends
00:30:53.340
to see justin trudeau actually to seize bank accounts for uh on a trucker convoy that had emerged in
00:31:01.020
ottawa and at the end of the day after all the investigations and everything else the honking of
00:31:05.980
horns which which can be irritating uh was one of the things that uh led to people getting extremely
00:31:11.980
upset and uh it was really you know when when people actually started to come to grips with the fact
00:31:18.060
that bank accounts were frozen um that began to be the start i think of a lot of citizens who hadn't
00:31:26.540
really seen the heavy hand of government before starting to wake up and say this is going too far
00:31:31.020
uh we of course now only recently learned that we have the same subsidies here in the united
00:31:37.740
states for legacy media thanks to elon musk and doge we now know that the u.s taxpayers sent 140
00:31:46.220
million dollars to the new york times well that's a lot of subscriptions 90 million dollars to politico
00:31:52.860
the fake news propaganda front that pretends to be a journalistic enterprise uh nine million dollars
00:32:00.620
to reuters i don't think government should subsidize media period i frankly think the the national public
00:32:09.100
broadcast should be shut down their their reporting is not unbiased it's not news it's political
00:32:16.460
propaganda a lot of discussion in this country uh regarding uh justin trozo's place in mark carney
00:32:24.300
and his relationship with jislaine maxwell who was of course convicted in new york city essentially for
00:32:31.260
being the pimp for jeffrey epstein there are photos can be seen widely on the internet of them
00:32:38.540
together those are not deep fakes they're real uh do you think the people in canada are aware of
00:32:46.220
this connection and it will will make any will have any effect on this race i think there's an
00:32:52.700
awareness of some of the things you just uh talked about again the um mainstream media will pursue
00:33:00.060
with intensity questions that are aimed at let's say a conservative leader just because they are so
00:33:07.660
philosophically opposed to where conservatism goes generally so if you get an accusation of any kind
00:33:13.260
it'll be uh pursued with real vigor if it's against a leading uh liberal figure the same intensity
00:33:21.020
doesn't happen so it'll be mentioned and then it's like the mainstream media says there we've mentioned
00:33:25.180
it and then it goes away and so the uh time and opportunity it takes for something to sink into the public
00:33:31.020
psyche uh it just it just it doesn't catch it doesn't hold so uh we're saying and conservatives are
00:33:38.140
generally saying we just want answers we want um whether it's to mark carney or if pierre polyev is
00:33:44.540
getting hit with questions fair enough but we want answers and we want some intensity of purpose we don't
00:33:50.780
see that with the media mainstream media i i think for your uh american listeners probably comparing the cbc to
00:33:59.340
uh a rough comparison to uh your national public radio uh would be a close uh comparison massive amounts of
00:34:07.500
money and so naturally uh i mean we're all human beings we're we're self-interested and we are aware
00:34:13.980
of where our funding and our livelihood comes from most of us tend not to want to really bite hard the
00:34:21.020
hand that feeds us uh that's that is a calculus that should not be entering into the minds of journalists
00:34:28.140
if you're just tuning in we're talking to stockwell day a distinguished leader of canada's uh conservative
00:34:36.220
party and when we come back i'm going to ask him how uh if conservatives win the next election how can
00:34:41.660
it will respond to trump's tariffs and the negotiations so whatever you do don't touch that dial we'll be
00:34:48.220
right back with our analysis of the upcoming canadian elections with my guest stockwell day this is the stone
00:34:57.420
zone this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:35:27.420
and we're back we're talking canadian politics with canadian statesman stockwell day uh under prime
00:35:36.940
minister stephen harper harper stockwell was appointed minister of public safety uh where he was
00:35:42.860
responsible for the national police force federal prisons border security and security intelligence
00:35:48.380
he went on to serve as canadian minister of international trade which is why my next question
00:35:53.820
i think is most important uh should conservatives win the upcoming election how do you believe the
00:36:00.540
new government will respond to president trump's tariff positions uh and uh those upcoming negotiations
00:36:09.420
you have a great question and peer polyeth has been very clear that um he we as canines are not happy
00:36:15.660
uh with the approach that the president is taking um the the history book of trade wars that are
00:36:23.660
successful is a very thin one and uh we feel we are being unduly impacted so peer polyeth has already
00:36:32.060
articulated some actions that he will take uh somewhat in a reciprocal way to push back on these um
00:36:39.500
that's not to say that everything the u.s is doing you know shouldn't be or all the concerns shouldn't
00:36:44.220
be listened to i posted uh for mr carney and for mr polyeth and having been as you said minister of
00:36:51.900
international trade and also minister of um public safety which is your equivalent roger to homeland
00:36:57.580
security i have said listen come out very strongly and say yes we need to and we can always improve at
00:37:03.740
the borders we have great border officers but let's put more money into our borders um we are concerned
00:37:10.540
about the fentanyl problems so to show that to assure americans of that let's be much more aggressive
00:37:17.100
put more resources into uh searching out and hunting down the the fentanyl production labs some of which do
00:37:24.140
exist in canada and let's be very publicly our public officials standing up and demanding that china stop the
00:37:33.100
production of the precursors that go into making fentanyl china is a surveillance state like none other in
00:37:40.060
the world they know where every precursor lab in their own country is they could shut it down so
00:37:45.340
let's be really aggressive on those type of things let's be um uh really aggressive on um um serious
00:37:56.060
criminal um offenders who shouldn't be in the country let's show the us that we are concerned about
00:38:03.420
that that's the way to do it and to calm some of the concerns but uh going this through the tariff
00:38:09.580
route is uh not something canadians are happy with certainly not something that pierre polyev is happy
00:38:15.180
with well let me say this i've known donald trump for 50 years he is a businessman he's a negotiator
00:38:21.740
and this is about the art of the deal i actually don't think he likes tariffs either but uh he does
00:38:26.940
want a level playing field and he wants a reciprocal agreement reciprocal agreement that's good for both
00:38:31.900
states both countries uh and i think in polyev he will find a willing partner uh and an agreement can
00:38:39.020
be reached that will be good for the people of both canada and the people of the united states
00:38:44.940
i saw the mexicans today announced they were dropping their tariffs and therefore we will drop
00:38:49.340
all of our tariffs against goods coming from mexico so progress can be made uh i think you have the
00:38:56.140
potential for a great partnership that works in conjunction to the betterment of both peoples let
00:39:02.300
me thank our guest stockwell day uh conservative party veteran uh stockwell i'll see you in church
00:39:08.860
this sunday thank you so much for joining us here in the stone zone
