The StoneZONE with Roger Stone

00:00:00.000 In this 25th anniversary year of September 11th, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation continues to

00:00:04.580 honor America's heroes. Heroes like Fire Lieutenant Michael Wells, who was inspired by 9-11 to serve

00:00:09.820 his community. After 14 dedicated years of service, he lost his battle with occupational

00:00:14.860 cancer, leaving behind his wife, Katie, and their three children. Tunnel to Towers honored Lieutenant

00:00:19.760 Wells by paying off the family's mortgage in recognition of his sacrifices. Donate $11 monthly

00:00:25.400 and amplify your impact with a car or land donation.

00:00:28.760 Go to t2t.org.

00:00:41.340 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:45.100 People love him and respect him.

00:00:46.560 Roger Stone.

00:00:47.840 Now, get him his own.

00:00:49.760 It's the Stone Zone.

00:00:51.800 Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:55.400 You are now entering the Stone Zone. I'm your host, Roger Stone.

00:01:02.160 You know, assassination is all too common in America's political history.

00:01:06.800 Assassination of our presidents, I speak of.

00:01:09.420 Of course, everybody's familiar with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,

00:01:12.960 murdered in 1865 at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C.

00:01:16.880 Then there was President James A. Garfield.

00:01:20.320 He was murdered in Washington, D.C. in 1881.

00:01:23.800 William McKinley became a late president in 1901.

00:01:30.000 In fact, he was shot and killed in Buffalo, New York.

00:01:32.280 When they put Governor Theodore Roosevelt on the ticket for vice president,

00:01:36.800 the Republican bosses did that to get rid of him, to get him out in New York State, 1.00

00:01:40.900 saying that we get rid of that damn cowboy. 0.99

00:01:44.140 In the end, he became one of America's most popular presidents. 1.00

00:01:47.460 Of course, all Americans, I think, are familiar with the brutal murder of President John F. Kennedy

00:01:52.460 on the streets of Dallas in 1963.

00:01:54.920 I believe that that was at the hands of a conspiracy that involved

00:01:59.440 Vice President Lyndon Johnson at the helm,

00:02:02.180 the Central Intelligence Agency, organized crime, and big Texas oil.

00:02:07.360 But many Americans are not aware that there were other attempts to kill American presidents.

00:02:12.580 An attempt to kill Andrew Jackson in 1835 at the U.S. Capitol.

00:02:17.760 An attempt to kill President Theodore Roosevelt.

00:02:20.540 Roosevelt was actually hit, but because he was wearing a spectacle case, his opticians were Myrowitz of New York, and a wadded up speech, the bullet did not harm Roosevelt.

00:02:34.720 He insisted on finishing his entire speech before he would allow them to take him to the hospital.

00:02:40.120 It was also an attempt on the life of President Franklin Roosevelt.

00:02:44.080 That was in 1933 in Miami, Florida.

00:02:47.240 Of course, a Puerto Rican nationalist tried to kill President Harry Truman in 1950.

00:02:53.480 Gerald Ford was the target of an assassination attempt by the followers of Charles Manson,

00:02:59.520 specifically a woman named Sweecky Fromm.

00:03:03.840 And then, ironically, President Ronald Reagan, the attack on him at the same Washington Hilton

00:03:09.400 hotel where there was an attack on President Donald Trump just this recent time period.

00:03:15.680 There was also an attempt on the life of George W. Bush in Tbilis, Georgia.

00:03:21.440 And of course, Donald Trump has now had three or perhaps four assassination attempts.

00:03:26.980 The first one in Butler, Pennsylvania, where but for a mill an inch, he would no longer be with us.

00:03:33.940 Then a man stormed Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun.

00:03:37.360 That was fortunately at the time the president was not there.

00:03:40.080 He was shot and killed by Secret Service agents.

00:03:43.360 Then there was the next attempt at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

00:03:51.360 And now this most recent outrageous attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

00:03:57.340 Three things bother me about the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

00:04:00.840 One is the fact that the Secret Service protection was so lax and that a would-be shooter got as close as he did.

00:04:09.120 Secondly, outrageously, those online who are insisting that this was all staged, that this was some kind of false flag operation, particularly those who say that it all looks and smells like Roger Stone.

00:04:21.200 I find that highly offensive.

00:04:23.580 But then lastly, watching these so-called journalists grab the very expensive bottles of wine before they left the ballroom, really quite extraordinary.

00:04:33.780 Now, in the wake of all this, in the wake of the attempted assassination and targeting of President Donald Trump over the weekend, serious questions are being raised about national security and the role that Democrats are playing in undermining it.

00:04:47.680 Senator Dick Blumenthal of Connecticut, you remember him. He's the guy who lied about his military service in Vietnam. They call him Da Nang Dick.

00:04:56.220 They're playing a substantial role. Blumenthal appeared on national television Monday downplaying concerns about the Department of Homeland Security funding, even as the agency remains partially unfunded due to a political standoff.

00:05:11.060 While Blumenthal insisted that the Department of Homeland Security has the resources they read right now, he also made it clear that Democrats are unwilling to fully fund the agency long term without imposing restrictions on immigration enforcement.

00:05:25.360 That stance is drawing sharp criticism, especially given the timing.

00:05:29.040 The attempted attack on the Washington White House Correspondents' Dinner has intensified scrutiny over security readiness with officials warning that prolonged funding gaps constrain critical agencies like the Secret Service.

00:05:42.920 The Secret Service used to be under the U.S. Treasury Department, but now, of course, it is under the Department of Homeland Security, the very department that Democrats refuse to fund.

00:05:52.180 The broader funding fight stems from Democrats blocking full DHS funding unless limits are placed on ICE and Customs and Border Protection, moves that put partisan politics ahead of public safety.

00:06:05.720 The contrast to me is stark.

00:06:08.320 At a time when threats against American leaders are rising, Democrats are choosing to play political games all because they support their mass immigration power grab over everything else.

00:06:19.060 Consistent, full funding of the Department of Homeland Security is essential, not conditional.

00:06:24.940 Weakening enforcement or withholding resources sends the wrong message at an extraordinarily dangerous time.

00:06:30.520 It empowers extremists and potential killers like we saw this past weekend, but Democrats are completely shameless and frankly, they do not care.

00:06:38.580 In fact, it is the overheated rhetoric of people like Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Chuck Schumer, AOC, Dick Blumenthal, and other radical Democrats, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who goes outside the country to denounce the president of the United States as a threat to democracy.

00:06:58.320 I frankly think that's treason. We have to get serious about the protection of our presidents

00:07:04.140 and get serious about fully funding the Department of Homeland Security, under which the Secret

00:07:09.700 Service is situated. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel, the low-rated late-night host who poses as a comedian,

00:07:17.900 is doubling down after he targeted First Lady Melania Trump, making a classless joke about the

00:07:23.800 murder of President Donald Trump, a remark that came just days before an attempted far-left

00:07:28.940 attack, terrorist attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Kimmel mocked critics

00:07:33.500 during his Monday monologue, dismissing what he called Twitter vomit storms, that's what he calls

00:07:38.780 the criticism of him, and rejecting calls for accountability, taking no responsibility for his

00:07:44.800 own words or actions. On Friday's show, Kimmel suggested that First Lady Melania Trump had the

00:07:50.660 glow of an expectant widow, once again stoking the flames of hatred as he's been doing against

00:07:56.300 President Trump and his supporters for over a decade now. Days later, Cole Allen, a 31-year-old

00:08:03.260 public school teacher from California, was arrested after attempting to attack the

00:08:07.300 correspondents' dinner venue after having been radicalized by media talking ads like Kimmel.

00:08:13.180 Melania Trump condemned Kimmel's remarks as hateful and violent, urging ABC to act and warning that

00:08:19.220 voices like his are contributing to America's deepening political divide. President Trump

00:08:24.420 echoed those concerns, calling the comments shocking and demanding consequences. Kimmel,

00:08:29.800 however, is refusing to stop, offering only a vague acknowledgement of fear caused by the

00:08:34.680 weekend's events while denying any connection between his rhetoric and real-world danger.

00:08:40.220 Instead, he pivoted to attacking the president, deflecting the responsibility. It's time for ABC

00:08:45.500 to do the right thing and pull the plug on Kimmel for good.

00:08:48.660 Frankly, he is, frankly, no longer funny.

00:08:51.880 Late night talk shows are a dying medium anyway.

00:08:54.560 Remove Kimmel, replace him with nothing,

00:08:56.660 and the entire country would be much better off.

00:08:59.340 Meanwhile, it seems like Iran is trapped

00:09:02.000 as U.S. policy begins to grind them down.

00:09:04.900 Tensions in the Middle East are reaching a critical point

00:09:07.360 as the United States ramps up the pressure on the regime

00:09:10.440 with strong leadership signaling that America's interests

00:09:13.160 and global stability will not be compromised.

00:09:16.580 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, one of President Trump's very best appointees,

00:09:20.740 describes Iran's Revolutionary Guard leadership as trapped,

00:09:24.040 pointing to the effectiveness of a U.S. naval blockade

00:09:26.840 that is squeezing the regime's economy and threatening serious fuel shortages.

00:09:32.380 The strategy appears to be working as Iran is now scrambling to negotiate.

00:09:36.960 Iran has floated a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,

00:09:40.620 but only if the U.S. lifts its blockade and delays addressing Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

00:09:47.300 The Trump administration, however, refuses to budge.

00:09:50.340 President Donald Trump made it clear that Iran must have been in any path to nuclear weapons

00:09:55.280 and emphasizing that peace could be achieved with a deal in the very near future,

00:09:59.700 but only on America's terms.

00:10:02.340 Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced that position,

00:10:05.680 warning that the U.S. will not tolerate Iran controlling or taxing global shipping through

00:10:12.180 the Straits. Freedom of navigation is non-negotiable and Iran will not be allowed 0.97

00:10:16.980 to hold the Straits hostage. Meanwhile, Russia is openly aligning with Iran. President Vladimir 0.55

00:10:22.480 Putin praised Tehran's actions as a fight for sovereignty, highlighting the growing divide

00:10:28.080 between Western leadership and authoritarian regimes that are sticking together. At the same

00:10:33.140 time, Israel continues decisive military actions against Hezbollah and their targets in Lebanon,

00:10:39.200 responding to ongoing violations of an extremely fragile ceasefire. As negotiations continue behind

00:10:45.560 the scenes, strong American leadership is once again being tested on the world stage, and I can't

00:10:51.500 tell you how lucky we are to have President Donald Trump as our commander-in-chief rather than Joe

00:10:56.280 Biden at times like this. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and federal authorities are cracking

00:11:02.180 dawn on a major Somali third-word fraud network, unsurprisingly, in their enclave of Minneapolis, 0.98

00:11:08.960 where more than 20 locations were raided as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged abuse of 0.66

00:11:15.640 taxpayer-funded programs. The Department of Justice confirmed that the FBI, alongside Homeland

00:11:21.600 Security Investigations and local law enforcement, executed 22 court-approved search warrants tied to

00:11:28.660 expected fraud. According to officials, the investigation centers largely on Somali-linked

00:11:34.900 businesses, including child care facilities, accused of billing the government for services

00:11:39.820 that were never actually provided. Among the sites raided were the Quality Learning Center

00:11:45.240 and the Baby Halimo Child Care Center, facilities that had already drawn scrutiny after the hard

00:11:51.780 working citizen journalist Nick Shirley did an expose showing these daycare locations were vacant,

00:11:57.500 non-operational and otherwise unable to serve children despite receiving millions in public

00:12:03.760 funds. Authorities stress the cooperation and operations focused on fraud, not immigration

00:12:09.940 enforcement, but quite frankly, a lot of people running these operations need to be deported

00:12:14.400 post-haste. Minnesota has increasingly become a hotspot for large-scale fraud cases in recent

00:12:21.180 years. The massive Feeding Our Future scandal, which saw hundreds of millions in pandemic relief

00:12:26.940 funds misused expose serious weaknesses in government monitoring. Dozens have already

00:12:33.080 been convicted in that case, many tied to similar networks. These repeated scandals highlight the

00:12:39.820 dangers of unchecked government spending and refugee resettlement, as Democrats look the 1.00

00:12:45.560 other way while migrants come over into this country and rob the taxpayers blind. This is 1.00

00:12:51.380 how they grease over their new constituents en route to destruction of America and a permanent

00:12:56.580 one-party Democrat socialist country. The Department of Justice and Donald Trump must 0.61

00:13:02.000 put an end to the spoil system immediately in Minneapolis and across the country so we can

00:13:06.880 finally put Americans first. But my question is a simple one. What did Governor Tim Walz know

00:13:12.560 and when did he know it? If you're just tuning in, this is The Stone Zone and I'm your host,

00:13:18.580 Roger Stone. Now, officials in Florida unveiled a new congressional redistricting proposal that

00:13:24.080 could dramatically strengthen Republican representation in the U.S. House, potentially

00:13:29.380 expanding the state's current 20 to 8 advantage to a commanding 24 to 4 majority for the Republican

00:13:36.800 Party. The plan, set to be taken up during a special legislative session, reflects ongoing

00:13:42.580 concerns about fairness and accuracy following the 2020 census. State officials argue that Florida

00:13:49.700 was significantly undercounted by more than 760,000 residents,

00:13:55.000 meaning current district lines failed to actually reflect

00:13:57.720 the state's true population growth.

00:14:00.220 Supporters say the updated map is a necessary correction

00:14:04.440 to ensure proper representation of Florida's rapidly expanding population.

00:14:08.840 Maybe one of the few times that I agree with Governor Ron DeSantis

00:14:12.040 and I want them to pass this new congressional redistricting.

00:14:16.040 You're listening to The Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:14:19.380 Don't go away, because on the other side, we'll have more hot politics.

00:14:23.440 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:14:27.200 He likes politics, and he's a professional.

00:14:29.900 At the highest level, Roger Stone.

00:14:33.080 Where's Roger?

00:14:49.380 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest

00:14:58.120 political minds roger stone was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant

00:15:02.900 political analyst now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone and we're back in

00:15:11.060 the stone zone now newly released fbi documents are reigniting serious concerns about political

00:15:17.580 bias inside the federal justice system, with evidence suggesting that the Bill and Hillary

00:15:23.360 Clinton Foundation was shielded from meaningful investigation, despite many allegations that

00:15:28.860 were credible of epic corruption. Senator Chuck Grassley made it public a 12-page FBI

00:15:35.400 electronic communications outlining a preliminary probe into the Clinton Foundation. The document

00:15:41.100 details multiple claims of potential pay-for-play schemes involving foreign donations and political

00:15:47.780 influence tied to Hillary Clinton and her family. Let's face it, Bill and Hillary Clinton are the

00:15:53.160 penicillin-resistant syphilis of the American body politic, and Hillary herself would steal a hot 1.00

00:15:59.360 stove. Among the allegations, millions in donations linked to foreign entities, including figures

00:16:05.480 connected to Russia's notorious Uranium One deal, followed by favorable U.S. policy decisions.

00:16:12.640 Other cases cited business interests in Bangladesh, Colombia, and Haiti, allegedly benefiting donors

00:16:18.860 with ties to the foundation. In one instance, Boeing pledged nearly $1 million to the foundation

00:16:25.680 shortly after a major international deal was reportedly facilitated that benefited the defense

00:16:31.660 contractor. Despite the voluminous amount of evidence, internal resistance within the DOJ

00:16:37.220 seems to have stalled the investigations. The Clintons were determined at the time to be above

00:16:42.380 the law. Key officials reported that he declined to pursue charges, dismissed the evidence as

00:16:48.400 insufficient, and even delayed investigative requests for years. While the Clinton Foundation

00:16:53.560 probe was slowed or shut down, the FBI launched aggressive investigations into Donald Trump,

00:16:58.900 his family and associates, including yours truly, based on completely bogus and promulgated claims,

00:17:05.480 with the entire Russiagate debacle being a stain on the rule of law and constitutional jurisprudence.

00:17:11.820 Now, thanks to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, it's all out there in the public.

00:17:17.660 She declassified the documents that demonstrate that there was no Russian collusion.

00:17:22.120 Therefore, it's impossible for me to have lied about Russian collusion in my deep state trial in Washington, D.C., which was kind of like a Soviet-style show trial.

00:17:34.540 The real question here for most Americans are, will we ever have a two-tiered justice system?

00:17:39.820 It's clear that the federal deep state has operated such a system that projects and protects political elites like the Clintons while targeting anyone who's an outsider.

00:17:49.640 Transparency is always good, but it's time to lock these people up.

00:17:53.220 Unless the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens are thrown into prison after a fair trial, of course,

00:17:58.380 the endless loop of corruption will never stop.

00:18:02.120 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone right here on the Red Audio Networks.

00:18:07.380 Every day, five days a week, we talk about politics, news, history, style,

00:18:13.140 and, well, sometimes we talk about food because, let's face it, I love to eat.

00:18:16.560 Thanks for joining us today. I'm Roger Stone, and we'll be right back on the other side with more of the Inside Skinny on American Politics.

00:18:38.060 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:18:41.560 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:18:45.700 Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:18:50.040 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:18:56.060 Back in the Stone Zone, you know, I always thought that the COVID-19 pandemic was really just an excuse that was used by the Democrats in the deep state in order to steal the 2020 elections.

00:19:07.460 because he allowed them to put in place mail-in voting. 0.91

00:19:10.980 Before we figured out he was a rat, 0.88

00:19:13.380 U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, 0.92

00:19:15.700 in an epic interview on CNN with Wolf Blitzer,

00:19:19.660 said himself that mail-in voting was an open invitation for voter fraud.

00:19:25.560 Speaking of the pandemic and COVID-19,

00:19:28.840 a bombshell indictment from the Justice Department

00:19:31.160 is showing that America's top public health agencies

00:19:34.500 during the COVID-19 pandemic

00:19:36.400 may have been run by dishonest criminals.

00:19:39.920 Who could have ever seen that coming?

00:19:41.700 Federal prosecutors allege that longtime advisor David M. Morens,

00:19:46.000 a senior figure under Dr. Anthony Fauci

00:19:49.280 at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,

00:19:53.600 deliberately used private email accounts

00:19:55.780 to conceal key communications from the American public.

00:20:00.060 According to the indictment, Morens and associates

00:20:02.880 move sensitive discussions off government systems

00:20:05.860 to evade the Freedom of Information Act requests,

00:20:10.200 effectively shielding critical debate about COVID-19's origins

00:20:14.420 in U.S.-funded research ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

00:20:21.160 That research, which involved American taxpayers' dollars,

00:20:25.340 has been the center of controversy surrounding the lab leak theory.

00:20:28.760 It is widely believed that when confronted in the U.S. Senate on the floor

00:20:33.880 by Senator Rand Paul about whether or not the gain of function took place in the Wuhan lab

00:20:40.380 and was funded by Americans, Dr. Anthony Fauci simply lied, lied to Congress, under oath.

00:20:48.600 Isn't that what they charged me with? Except for I wasn't lying.

00:20:51.500 But he is, or was, and he should be prosecuted.

00:20:55.080 Prosecutors now further allege that Moritz helped shape internal messaging

00:20:59.460 that downplayed the possibility of the lab origin

00:21:03.060 while also relaying information behind the scenes

00:21:06.100 to top officials who briefed Congress, the White House, and the public.

00:21:10.140 The charges paint a troubling picture of unelected bureaucrats

00:21:13.860 influencing national policy while avoiding accountability.

00:21:18.240 Adding to the concerns, Morinz is accused of accepting gifts,

00:21:22.420 including expensive meals and wine, from a collaborator,

00:21:25.900 then supporting scientific work aligned with that collaborator's preferred fake narrative.

00:21:32.040 The charges, conspiracy, destruction of federal records, and concealment,

00:21:36.920 carry the potential for decades in prison.

00:21:39.760 While this is great news, it must all lead to the prosecution of Fauci himself.

00:21:45.000 Dr. Anthony Fauci is the American Mengele,

00:21:48.080 and he must pay dearly for the blood on his hands 0.69

00:21:50.740 so that other tyrants of this type with God complexes never repeat this course of mass execution and death.

00:22:01.140 I hope that that Dr. Fauci and his wife, who made millions of dollars off the COVID-19 vaccination, get their just desserts.

00:22:11.940 Meanwhile, Ukraine's government is once again extending sweeping wartime powers,

00:22:16.860 raising sweeping questions about democracy and accountability as the conflict with Russia drags on.

00:22:24.160 President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted legislation to prolong martial law for the 19th time since 2022.

00:22:34.680 If approved, the order would remain in place through at least August,

00:22:38.560 continuing policies that have suspended all elections, expanded forced mobilization,

00:22:44.320 and allowed Zelensky to shut down journalism in his country,

00:22:49.240 shut newspapers, shut radio stations, arrest journalists,

00:22:54.580 and shut down the largest church in the country.

00:22:58.060 Under this martial law, Ukraine canceled both their national elections,

00:23:03.440 including their 2024 presidential vote,

00:23:06.380 and postponed parliamentary elections indefinitely.

00:23:10.280 Beyond delaying elections, Zelensky's administration has also banned

00:23:13.980 all opposition parties and shut down media outlets accused of pro-Russian ties.

00:23:20.320 Among those affected was a major opposition party that previously received

00:23:24.240 a significant amount of the vote in their elections they did have.

00:23:28.840 These moves raise obvious raid flags about political consolidation

00:23:32.700 under the guise of national security. 0.92

00:23:36.620 It also shows how the U.S. and the West have been played as suckers.

00:23:40.780 We've been sold on giving aid to Ukraine to, quote unquote, protect democracy, when in actuality we're propping up an authoritarian dictatorship.

00:23:51.160 President Donald Trump in particular has questioned whether democratic norms are being sidelined for too long in Ukraine.

00:23:58.440 Zelensky has suggested elections could be reconsidered, but only if Western nations fund the process, as the welfare queen has always looked for an excuse to bleed his supposed allies dry.

00:24:10.140 A recent video I saw showed men being dragged from their homes that could be put in the front lines of a war against Russia that Ukraine simply cannot win. 0.75

00:24:21.260 The globalist puppet Zelensky is truly one of the most heinous rulers we've ever seen in Europe and in many decades. 0.61

00:24:29.060 He has no concern for his people.

00:24:31.000 He was, after all, a comedian or a comedic actor, I think, hired to play the role of a president.

00:24:40.680 It's very clear he has a cocaine addiction.

00:24:43.320 You can sometimes see it.

00:24:44.920 It is unmistakable.

00:24:46.580 It's only a matter of time that he's forced to abdicate or face a mob once and for all.

00:24:52.280 It's time to end this war, but it's certainly in time to end the multi-million dollar subsidies to this corrupt anti-democratic regime.

00:25:02.660 Meanwhile, a massive high-tech data center project that is backed by investor Kevin O'Leary is gaining momentum in rural Utah, signaling what many see as a major win for economic growth, national security, and American innovation.

00:25:20.740 State officials with the Military Installation Development Authority have approved key steps to move the multi-billion dollar project forward in Box Elder County.

00:25:32.420 The development, spanning tens of thousands of acres, would support military infrastructure and is expected to create roughly 2,000 permanent jobs, bringing new opportunity to a largely rural region.

00:25:45.200 The project reflects a forward-looking strategy by attracting top-tier cloud computing giants, while strengthening ties to critical military installations like Hill Air Force Base.

00:25:58.300 With data increasingly central to both economic and national security, this positions Utah and the U.S. more broadly to remain competitive against foreign adversaries.

00:26:09.280 The project will generate its own power rather than strange Utah's already taxed grid with excess energy being feeding back into the system.

00:26:20.260 This is an important point because the data center will expend a massive amount of resources and is expected to produce and consume more energy than the entire rest of the state.

00:26:31.880 The initiative also includes aggressive TAC incentives aimed at keeping America competitive for so-called hyperscaler companies, industry leaders like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

00:26:45.640 Officials argue that these incentives are a smart investment, not a giveaway.

00:26:51.480 Officials argue, once again, that this potentially generates tens of millions of dollars annually for local communities.

00:26:59.520 data centers, when appropriately designed in making sure that they foot the bill for the

00:27:04.440 resources they consume rather than local taxpayers, are going to revolutionize commerce in this

00:27:11.560 country. We just must make sure that this powerful new technology runs for the benefit

00:27:16.900 of the people, not a hindrance to the American people. Meanwhile, Cuba's farmers are struggling

00:27:23.420 as the communist regime there continues to crumble. Cuba's deep economic crisis is once

00:27:29.660 again exposing the long, painful consequences of communist rule, where decades of centralized

00:27:35.360 control and failed policies have left the island vulnerable, inefficient, and unable to feed its

00:27:41.920 own people. Across the country, Cuban farmers are struggling to operate without basic resources like

00:27:47.540 fuel, functioning equipment, or reliable infrastructure. Crops are going to waste,

00:27:53.500 livestock production is declining, and food shortages are worsening for millions of Cubans.

00:27:59.920 While the regime blames U.S. policies, a convenient scapegoat by the Cubans for decades,

00:28:06.880 many observers point to the real root of the problem, which is a broken communist system 0.63

00:28:11.860 that has crippled productivity and innovation for generations.

00:28:16.540 Even before recent geopolitical tensions,

00:28:19.360 Cuba's state-controlled economy was already failing its citizens.

00:28:24.220 Government mismanagement, lack of private enterprise,

00:28:27.680 and strict controls over agriculture have created a system in Cuba

00:28:31.640 where farmers lack incentives and resources to succeed.

00:28:35.060 Now, with limited fuel and outdated equipment,

00:28:39.940 many are forced to rely on manual labor or animal power,

00:28:44.340 lacking the machinery necessary to create the food so that the people can thrive.

00:28:49.440 Ordinary Cubans are paying the price, food quality is declining,

00:28:53.480 prices are soaring, and basic staples are becoming harder to find.

00:28:58.540 Many are forced to choose between essential items just to get by.

00:29:02.800 For older citizens, the situation is particularly dire,

00:29:05.920 with some returning to physically demanding farm work simply to survive.

00:29:11.040 This crisis is not new, it's in fact entirely predictable.

00:29:14.820 It's the result of decades under a communist regime that suppresses economic freedom and discourages growth.

00:29:21.760 While leaders continue to deflect blame outward, blaming the Yankees for all their problems,

00:29:27.120 the reality is clear.

00:29:28.600 Without meaningful reform and a move forward towards free market principles,

00:29:32.900 The Cuban people remain trapped in a cycle of scarcity and hardship.

00:29:38.380 This is why President Trump needs to take action in Cuba, similar to the successes he's achieved in Venezuela.

00:29:44.800 I remember one of my wife's last relatives got out of Cuba.

00:29:49.900 And we were amazed when he arrived in Miami how incredibly painfully thin he was.

00:29:55.420 And he described an average week.

00:29:58.480 he said that you would be given a potato, and you would divide the potato into six pieces.

00:30:06.400 On each day, you would eat a piece of the potato, and on the seventh day,

00:30:11.920 you would drink the water that the potato had been boiled in.

00:30:16.100 That's communism.

00:30:17.880 In a refreshing display of patriotism, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined the famous musician Kid Rock

00:30:24.520 For a high-profile ride in U.S. military Apache helicopters, celebrating the strength of the military and the spirit of national pride, Higgseth praised Kid Rock as a patriot, longtime supporter of America's troops, highlighting the importance of recognizing those who stand behind the men and women in uniform.

00:30:43.940 The flight, featuring elite American pilots, showcased the professionalism and capability of U.S. forces during America's 250th anniversary, I should say birthday, with officials emphasizing the need to honor service members and reconnect with the country's founding values.

00:31:04.460 Pentagon leadership said moments like these helped bridge the gap between civilians and the military while inspiring pride in the next generation.

00:31:13.400 This particular event followed fake news-generated controversy over a prior helicopter flyby near Kid Rock's Tennessee home,

00:31:22.500 which had been drawing criticism and even triggered an investigation.

00:31:26.440 But Hegseth, the Secretary of War, stepped in, ended the probe, and defended the troops involved,

00:31:33.200 making it clear they shouldn't be punished for a harmless and uplifting moment.

00:31:37.460 This is exactly the kind of leadership we need to see from the administration.

00:31:41.440 unapologetically pro-military

00:31:45.000 supportive of American culture

00:31:47.360 and willing to push back against the critics

00:31:49.940 who downplay patriotism

00:31:51.880 at a time when national unity is disintegrating

00:31:55.400 due to the actions of the radicalized far-left Democrats

00:31:59.460 moments like these remind Americans

00:32:01.980 what pride in America

00:32:03.260 and respect for those who defend it

00:32:05.840 really looks like

00:32:06.980 we definitely hope to see more of this

00:32:08.960 as America continues to celebrate

00:32:10.800 this historic semi-quicentennial, the 250th anniversary of the greatest nation on earth.

00:32:18.880 Meanwhile, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is taking decisive action to roll

00:32:23.380 back the policies that have caused many years of radical social policy. HUD is effectively

00:32:28.540 restoring biological reality to federal housing rules and prioritizing the safety of women.

00:32:35.480 Under the leadership of Secretary Scott Turner of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, they announced that it will remove gender identity language from roughly 50 regulations, replacing it with clear, biologically-based definitions of gender.

00:32:53.180 The move is expected to have immediate impact, particularly in women's shelters, which now will be reserved strictly for biological females.

00:33:00.620 How about that? 0.98

00:33:02.080 For years, federal rules required shelters to admit individuals based on their self-declared gender identity. 0.68

00:33:08.800 In other words, men in women's shelters.

00:33:11.500 Policies which put vulnerable women at risk and open the door to abuse.

00:33:15.920 HUD officials say those days are over.

00:33:18.620 Secretary Turner made the administration's stance clear,

00:33:21.820 emphasizing that there are only two sexes, male and female,

00:33:26.080 and that federal policy should reflect that reality. 0.91

00:33:30.060 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone.

00:33:32.580 Don't go away because we'll be right back on the other side with even more.

00:33:37.400 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:41.060 He likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level.

00:33:45.800 Roger Stone.

00:33:46.780 Who is Roger?

00:33:59.540 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:34:09.500 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:34:13.420 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:34:14.640 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:34:17.520 Now, get him a zone.

00:34:19.560 It's The Stone Zone.

00:34:21.540 Here's Roger Stone.

00:34:23.840 And we're back in The Stone Zone.

00:34:25.560 Former President Barack Hussein Obama is drawing sharp criticism after claiming the motive behind Saturday night's attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner remains unclear, despite authorities already releasing a manifesto spelling out the suspect's intent.

00:34:43.340 In a public statement, Barack Obama urged Americans to reject political violence, but said details about the motive were still unknown.

00:34:53.320 That assertion quickly sparked a backlash from conservatives and law enforcement voices who made it clear that the facts were already on the table.

00:35:00.960 Officials identified the suspect as Cole Allen, a far left California public school teacher who allegedly authored a manifesto targeting President Trump and members of his administration.

00:35:13.000 The document reportedly outlined plans to assassinate Trump officials from highest to lowest while attacking the president's immigration policies and his Christian beliefs, clear signs of a radicalized, politically motivated attack.

00:35:28.420 Prominent Republicans didn't hold back at Obama's shameful silver-tongue spin-doctoring.

00:35:34.360 Senator Mike Lee of Utah called the motive obvious,

00:35:37.340 while administration officials like Lee Zeldin, the EPA director from New York,

00:35:42.880 blasted what they see as willful blindness from Obama and other political leaders

00:35:47.840 unwilling to confront left-wing extremism.

00:35:51.320 The incident unfolded, of course, at the Washington Hilton.

00:35:54.120 ironically in the same space and in the same hotel

00:35:57.880 where there was an attack on the life of President Ronald Reagan.

00:36:01.820 The incident unfolded where the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents was held.

00:36:08.920 I don't think very highly of the White House Correspondents Association in all honesty.

00:36:13.200 They gave an award to CNN because they said that CNN's incisive investigative reporting

00:36:19.780 had led them to send a camera crew to my home at 6 o'clock in the morning in 2019,

00:36:27.620 the year in which I was arrested.

00:36:30.360 In fact, when that went down, I was arrested at 6.11.

00:36:36.200 And at 6.22, a CNN correspondent texted a copy of my sealed criminal indictment

00:36:43.420 to one of my defense attorneys.

00:36:44.800 And if you looked at it, you would see that it had the initials and the metadata tags of the prosecutor who wrote it, Andrew Weissman, without any question, the single most corrupt and evil prosecutor in U.S. history.

00:36:59.640 Of course, the leaking of a search or arrest warrant advanced to it being executed is a felony, but the judge in my case, of course, could care less.

00:37:11.300 So the White House Correspondents Association gave CNN an award for what was obviously an inside job.

00:37:19.420 By the way, CNN just happened to have cameras outside the Arlington Alexandria apartment of Paul Manafort, my old partner, when he was arrested in the Russian collusion hoax.

00:37:31.140 It's time to call the Washington Correspondents or the White House Correspondents Association what it is.

00:37:37.360 These people are not journalists, beyond the fact that they stole all the wine before leaving the occasion. 0.92

00:37:44.100 These people are propagandists and liars for the Democrat Party.

00:37:48.800 Journalism, as my good friend Sean Hannity often says, is dead in America. 0.79

00:37:53.520 One of the few places you can still get the truth is right here in the Stone Zone.

00:37:58.260 We join you five days a week, every day, with the inside story on American politics and what's really going on in the nation.

00:38:05.960 I thank you for joining us today and until tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed.

00:38:35.960 We'll be right back.

00:39:05.960 We'll be right back.
