00:00:45.520 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:49.280 People love him and respect him.

00:00:50.760 Roger Stone.

00:00:52.060 Now, get in the zone.

00:00:53.960 It's the Stone Zone.

00:00:55.960 Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:58.460 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:01:01.660 Well, the Federal Reserve Board has voted to hold Raitt's study, easing bias.

00:01:09.080 But there were four dissenters.

00:01:11.020 That's the first time that that has happened in 34 years on the Federal Reserve.

00:01:15.440 Disgraced Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Too Late Powell signaled at the same time

00:01:21.240 that he will not step down from power quietly, announcing plans to remain on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors

00:01:28.800 even after his term expires on May 15th.

00:01:32.360 This is the first time in 113 years that this has happened, with two exceptions.

00:01:37.580 In 1948, the then Federal Reserve Board Chairman, a man named Eccles, died,

00:01:43.160 and President Harry Truman asked the acting chair to stay on the board.

00:01:49.580 And then once again in 1916, it is Jerome Powell who in 2022 essentially destroyed the economy by leaving rates too long, too low, too long in an apparent and I think transparent effort to boost the reelection prospects of Joe Biden.

00:02:11.720 He also made in that December, he ordered the Fed to purchase $40 billion of bonds, which created the current inflationary pool, which has raised inflation by 9%.

00:02:28.620 Now, it is bad enough that he is staying around.

00:02:32.840 This decision comes as scrutiny intensifies over his extremely profligate renovations at the Federal Reserve headquarters, as well as his manipulation of the interest rates to hurt President Trump's economic recovery.

00:02:46.300 You see, Federal Reserve rates are supposed to be governed by the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment.

00:02:52.660 And the rate of inflation and unemployment today are lower than they were when Jerome Powell cut rates to try to benefit Joe Biden.

00:03:02.600 So it's Jerome Powell who has been acting politically, not the president of the United States.

00:03:09.100 Powell admitted that he had intended to retire, but now he's going to stick around.

00:03:13.520 Well, I guess because he has an axe to grind against President Donald Trump.

00:03:17.300 The Department of Justice initially launched a probe into his congressional testimony regarding these ballooning renovation costs of his already palatial headquarters on Constitution Avenue, a one point billion dollar renovation, almost unthinkable, given the fact that there are people who will go to bed tonight not knowing whether their next meal is coming or not.

00:03:42.280 Through this matter has been handled by the Federal Reserve's inspector general, there's concern that the Fed will protect its institution and make sure that Powell is never held accountable for his behavior.

00:03:54.180 You see, he very specifically lied in his testimony before the Senate.

00:03:59.540 He told the Senate very specifically that this multi-billion dollar renovation plan did not include private elevators for the Fed governors, did not include a posh private dining room for the Fed board governors, did not include an opulent roof garden only for the use of the Fed board governors.

00:04:21.520 Those were all lies.

00:04:23.040 Now, we have to have one standard. This reminds me of James Comey, who was arrested only yesterday. He lied to Congress, very specifically denying that he had ever shared sealed information and directed a third party, in this case, a law school buddy of his by the name of Dan Richmond, to leak that information to the New York Times.

00:04:45.740 But federal prosecutors found an email in which the disgraced FBI head had done exactly that.

00:04:53.720 Once again, he got off the hook, not because he he his court case went to trial, but three federal judges acted unconstitutionally.

00:05:02.660 It violated both the canon of ethics and their oath of office by declaring that the prosecutor in the case, Lindsay Halligan, had been improperly appointed.

00:05:13.660 That is incorrect. And they will lose on appeal. But you see, by the time that the courts correct that and certify that Halligan was properly appointed, well, the statute of limitations will have run out on that particular crime by James Comey.

00:05:29.840 I must ask once again, the threat against the president of the United States is a far more serious crime than lying under oath to Congress.

00:05:38.280 But I wonder why James Comey was allowed to quietly, you know, turn himself in.

00:05:44.760 Why didn't 29 heavily armed FBI agents in full SWAT gear wearing night goggles and brandishing fully automatic M4 weapons completely surround his home at six o'clock in the morning and storm his home?

00:05:58.380 Why didn't they march his wife out in her nightie and perp walk her for the CNN cameras?

00:06:06.340 Why wasn't there a why wasn't there a Fox camera crew there or some other outlet?

00:06:12.180 So it's just another example of the two tier justice.

00:06:15.680 The outgoing Fed chairman took straight aim at Donald Trump calling the investigation against him unprecedented while warning that such pressure threatens the institution's independence.

00:06:26.560 So in other words, what he's saying is he is above the law, that when he lies to Congress, it's okay because he's the Fed chairman.

00:06:34.720 I don't think that's the way our Constitution works.

00:06:37.580 When he talks about independence to the Fed, that's a euphemism for complete and total control of the U.S. monetary supply without accountability from any branch of government.

00:06:47.540 Powell insists he will maintain a low profile in his extended role.

00:06:52.140 Though considering his history, that is likely a falsehood.

00:06:55.320 His decision to stay on rather than step aside shows yet again how the Fed operates without too little oversight.

00:07:03.500 The dollar has lost over 97% of its value since the Fed's inception over 100 years ago

00:07:10.240 when a group of elite bankers went to Jekyll Island to plot their economic coup that was unfortunately successful.

00:07:17.200 That's why so many Americans are investing in gold and silver today because they can't trust the paper money.

00:07:23.680 You can thank the Federal Reserve for that.

00:07:26.700 Maybe time, as iconic former Congressman Ron Paul, who I hope the president gives the Medal of Freedom to before he passes, to end the Fed so we're no longer at the mercy of this Wall Street banking cartel.

00:07:43.220 Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate has delivered a decisive rebuke to Democratic efforts

00:07:47.880 to undermine President Trump's foreign policy agenda here in the Western Hemisphere,

00:07:52.080 voting 51 to 47 to block a war powers resolution

00:07:56.280 meant to hamstring the administration's ability to act against communist Cuba.

00:08:01.840 The largely party-line vote shows that Republicans remain united behind the Donroe Doctrine,

00:08:08.120 named after the Monroe Doctrine, the failed measure,

00:08:11.740 pushed by Senator Tim Kaine.

00:08:13.940 You remember him.

00:08:14.560 He's the guy who was Hillary Clinton's running mate,

00:08:17.160 Senator Adam Pencilnack Schiff and Ruben Gallego,

00:08:21.520 who was the national chairman of Eric Swalwell's presidential campaign,

00:08:26.440 which looked to be quite a party from the videos that I saw.

00:08:29.900 They attempted to invoke the 1974 War Powers Act

00:08:33.140 and attempt to preemptively block any potential U.S. military action

00:08:37.240 against the brutal communist regime in Havana.

00:08:40.660 Democrats knowingly forced the vote, despite lacking support,

00:08:44.620 using it as a tool to score partisan votes at the expense of legitimate U.S. national security interests.

00:08:51.260 Republicans argued the resolution was unnecessary and misleading,

00:08:55.160 noting that no U.S. troops are currently engaged in hostilities of Cuba.

00:08:59.340 Senator Rick Scott, my senator, who I'm very proud of,

00:09:01.960 emphasized that the president has not proposed deploying ground forces,

00:09:05.880 calling the resolution irrelevant and premature.

00:09:08.360 Sure. The vote comes as tensions with Cuba remain high and the Trump administration's highlighting Havana's ties to adversarial regimes, including Russia, China and Iran.

00:09:19.680 The White House is also appointed to Cuba's historical alignment with hostile powers dating back to the Cold War.

00:09:26.740 President Trump has applied maximum pressure against Cuba, making it clear that they will get the Venezuela treatment very soon unless they acquiesce to demands that would free Cuba from socialist squalor.

00:09:39.800 That means they have to make a true commitment to human rights and liberty for the Cuban people.

00:09:46.380 This is what happens when you have an island gulag and the Cuban government has an absolute hammerlock and complete monopoly on communications.

00:09:55.720 So the fact that they don't have enough food, that they don't have access to gasoline or car parts or anything else,

00:10:02.460 well, that's the fault of the United States, according to what their people have been told.

00:10:07.300 Democrats will continue their agitation efforts, but they will not stop President Trump from acting at the best interest of America.

00:10:14.740 Narco-terrorism and communism will not be tolerated in the Americas. 0.74

00:10:17.800 It's a scourge that must be eradicated no matter how many tantrums the Democrats throw in either house of the legislature. 0.95

00:10:25.540 Meanwhile, here at the Stone Zone, we're very closely watching the redistricting of congressional districts in the run-up to the 2026 elections.

00:10:33.900 I don't agree with Governor Ron DeSantis about much.

00:10:37.040 That's because I look at my utility bills and I look at my insurance bills.

00:10:40.920 But in this case, he has done the right thing by creating four new districts in the state of Florida.

00:10:46.160 That's based on the shifts in population.

00:10:48.380 The Supreme Court's ruling, now essentially banning race-based congressional districts, is already reshaping the political maps, with Louisiana and Georgia moving to revisit congressional lines to end an unfair Democrat advantage.

00:11:03.560 In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court justices struck down Louisiana's second-majority black district as unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

00:11:13.400 By the way, the word gerrymandering, the term, is based on a Democrat state legislator from Massachusetts whose last name was Jerry, not to be confused with Jerry Lewis or Jerry Lee Lewis.

00:11:25.560 But they have held that the Voting Rights Act did not justify drawing districts primarily around race.

00:11:32.320 Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is reportedly moving quickly, suspending primaries so the state can now redraw its map.

00:11:39.320 Landry says the ruling confirms what conservatives have argued for many years.

00:11:43.400 States have the right to draw political maps and racial quotas should not override the Constitution.

00:11:50.140 Georgia may be next.

00:11:51.500 Republican leaders there are reviewing whether new maps are needed with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones backing fair congressional masks that don't take into consideration race.

00:12:01.620 Democrats, including Senator Raphael Warnock, you remember him, he's the guy who ran over his wife with a car on video just before his election,

00:12:09.440 are predictably calling the decision a threat to voting rights and crying racism.

00:12:14.780 But in actuality, the court restored the basic American principle

00:12:18.480 that government should not sort citizens by their skin color.

00:12:24.100 Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should never have interpreted the Voting Rights Act

00:12:28.680 to give racial groups an entitlement to proportional representation.

00:12:32.660 That message is now echoing across Republican-led states.

00:12:36.660 Democrats could lose seats in Georgia and across the South.

00:12:39.720 As many as 19 seats could now tip to the Republicans based on this important Supreme Court decision.

00:12:46.940 President Trump's move to push for fights over redistricting and the redorger maps may seem like a risky gamble,

00:12:52.660 but it is now, finally, paying off and leveling the playing field heading into this year's midterm elections.

00:12:59.060 See, they have already gerrymandered in the states that they control.

00:13:02.300 California, Illinois, New York, and others.

00:13:04.940 They can't come up with new districts because they've already cheated, whereas the last census undercounted Republicans, and the last census actually counted people who were here illegally.

00:13:16.520 Why would you count people in the census who are not U.S. citizens?

00:13:20.240 Howard Lutnick, who is the Secretary of Commerce, is correcting that in the upcoming census, and it's about time.

00:13:26.920 It is interesting that Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts is now getting into a despicable attack on the Secretary of War during a House Armed Services Committee hearing.

00:13:38.620 Moulton accused Hank Seth of backing what he called a war crime over the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean.

00:13:45.860 So let me get this straight.

00:13:47.220 Congressman Moulton from Massachusetts is pro-drug dealer, pro-narco-terrorist.

00:13:53.660 It's really quite incredible. 0.89

00:15:48.480 Now, get him a zone.

00:15:50.340 It's the Stone Zone.

00:15:52.280 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:15:59.400 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:16:01.840 Roger Stone.

00:16:02.900 Where's Roger Stone?

00:16:04.140 Here's Roger Stone.

00:16:06.720 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:16:08.940 As I was saying, Democrat U.S. Congressman Seth Molson of Massachusetts is drawing attention after launching a despicable attack on the Secretary of War.

00:16:17.500 Pete Hegseth during a House Armed Services Committee hearing.

00:16:21.020 Moulton accused Hegseth of backing what he called a war crime

00:16:24.260 over the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean.

00:16:29.040 He claimed the military may have targeted survivors after an initial strike.

00:16:32.620 He later told CNN he believes Hegseth is absolutely guilty of war crimes.

00:16:37.860 I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet.

00:16:42.620 Hegseth pushed back, saying that America's military follows the rules of engagement

00:16:46.540 And he praised U.S. warfighters for carrying out dangerous missions against suspected narco-terrorist threats.

00:16:54.040 Moulton then escalated the rhetoric by comparing the situation to Nazi submarine captains during World War II,

00:17:01.540 saying allied powers tried and executed enemy officers for similar conduct.

00:17:06.020 You see, anytime anyone in the political debate raises the specter of Hitler or Nazis, that means they're losing the debate.

00:17:13.760 Those who have had any common sense whatsoever are likely to see the comments as another example of Democrats rushing to accuse U.S. service members and the Trump officials of a criminal conduct with zero regard to the actual facts.

00:17:27.060 The administration has noted the Caribbean strikes are part of a broader effort to stop drug traffickers before they can bring their deadly narcotics into America.

00:17:36.520 The military is targeting dangerous criminal networks, not innocent people, and lawmakers smearing U.S. commanders with Nazi comparisons is reprehensible.

00:17:46.480 But then, of course, Moulton is from the Soviet Republic of Massachusetts.

00:17:52.540 This is the sort of rhetoric that has emboldened these left-wing terrorists nationwide, causing incidents like we saw at the White House Correspondents' Dinner over the weekend.

00:18:01.900 Democrats are more interested in undermining the Trump administration's national security agenda

00:18:06.820 than supporting tough action against the cartels that fuel America's drug crisis.

00:18:12.480 They're only happy enough to stroke the flames of division to score political points,

00:18:16.780 even if it means putting the vulnerable at risk.

00:18:20.060 Yesterday, I watched the debate between Lee Zeldin, the head of the EPA,

00:18:27.180 and Rosa DeLauro, the congressman from Connecticut.

00:18:30.840 You know, every for 17 years, I have published an international best and worst dress list.

00:18:37.100 How I missed Rosa DeLauro, that freak with the purple hair, who is who is really almost non-composentous.

00:18:44.800 She's been in the seat so long. 0.95

00:18:46.500 She tried to challenge Lee Zeldin and he completely and totally shut her down based on the facts in the law.

00:18:53.980 She's been in the seat too long. Her husband is a Democrat pollster.

00:18:57.980 It's a Democrat stronghold, but it's long past the time to take this purple haired freak and put her out to pasture. 0.94

00:19:09.840 Don't go away because we'll be back on the other side with more hot politics.

00:19:27.980 This is the Stone Zone. 0.97

00:19:47.660 Now, get in the zone.

00:19:49.580 It's the Stone Zone.

00:19:51.120 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong,

00:19:57.300 and people love him, not everybody, but people love him and respect him, Roger Stone. Where's

00:20:02.440 Roger Stone? Here's Roger Stone. Welcome back into the Stone Zone. Well, the Justice Department

00:20:09.600 has now charged the governor of Sinaloa and nine other current and former Mexican officials with

00:20:15.460 helping the cartel flood the United States with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine.

00:20:21.840 Federal prosecutors in New York say that Governor Ruben Roja Moya and other officials

00:20:27.060 took bribes and traded political power for cartel support.

00:20:30.780 The indictments allege that Roja worked with the Chapitos,

00:20:34.860 the sons of El Chapo, to win his 2021 election.

00:20:38.740 Prosecutors say cartel members intimidated political opponents,

00:20:42.640 stole ballots and helped secure Roja's victory. 0.78

00:20:45.520 They sound like Democrats. 0.68

00:20:47.060 In return for the help on rigging the elections,

00:20:50.100 Roja allegedly placed cartel-friendly officials

00:20:53.520 inside state and local law enforcement.

00:20:55.980 U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said that the corrupt foreign officials who work with narco-traffickers will be brought to justice.

00:21:03.180 The defendants are not yet in custody.

00:21:05.520 If convicted, Roja and eight others could face 40 years to life in prison on drug and weapons charges.

00:21:12.180 One defendant, former Culacan Vice Police Commander Juan Venezuela Milan, faces even more serious charges.

00:21:20.760 Prosecutors say he helped cartel gunmen kidnap, torture, and murder enemies, including a DEA source and the source's relatives.

00:21:29.580 One victim was reportedly just 13 years old.

00:21:33.380 This indictment is a grim reminder that America's border crisis is not just about illegal crossings.

00:21:39.160 It is about foreign corruption, cartel control, poison communities, and deadly drugs pouring into this country.

00:21:45.700 The Trump administration has designated the Sinaloa cartel as a terrorist organization in 2025.

00:21:53.480 Now, the DOJ is finally putting corrupt officials on notice that they can no longer hide behind their illegal authority.

00:22:02.860 Mexico's corruption can no longer be tolerated.

00:22:05.560 It is time to enact the war on drugs, this time not by throwing nonviolent marijuana users in prison,

00:22:11.640 but rather by prosecuting, extraditing, arresting, and sometimes even blowing up the foreign drug-dealing terrorists who are the scourge of the world.

00:22:21.280 Meanwhile, Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is calling for a Justice Department investigation into whether the Biden administration

00:22:28.200 tried to hide taxpayer-backed loans to Planned Parenthood by disguising them under the bizarre code name Benghazi,

00:22:36.660 which seems to be mocking the brutal tragedy that occurred during the Obama administration. 0.67

00:22:41.640 That was back in Libya.

00:22:43.480 Ernst, an Iowa Republican and chairwoman of the Senate Small Business Committee,

00:22:47.700 has been investigating Paycheck Protection Program loans issued through the Small Business Administration during the COVID pandemic.

00:22:54.420 Her findings suggest that SBA officials may have used Benghazi as an internal government email code word

00:23:02.900 while discussing roughly $90 million in taxpayer funds tied to Planned Parenthood loans and forgiveness requests.

00:23:10.860 In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Senator Ernst asked the Department of Justice to examine possible violations of federal records laws.

00:23:21.320 She says the concern is that if officials used an unregulated code word, public records request or congressional increase for Planned Parenthood could miss the documents entirely in a normal search.

00:23:33.000 One email cited by Ernst reportedly came from then-SBI General Counsel, SBA General Counsel Peggy Hamilton, who asked to schedule a meeting to discuss decision Benghazi, adding in paraphrases, quote-unquote, planned parenthood.

00:23:49.680 A top SBA official replied, yes, let's talk Benghazi.

00:23:53.320 For conservatives or anyone with half a brain, this raises a serious question.

00:23:58.420 Why would a federal agency need a code name to discuss taxpayer money flowing into one of the nation's largest abortion providers?

00:24:06.820 The Federal Records Act exists to protect transparency, not to be gamed by bureaucrats.

00:24:12.880 If Biden officials intentionally concealed records from Congress or the public, they should be held accountable.

00:24:18.100 The killing of babies in the womb is sacrosanct to Democrats, and they're not merely misguided in their beliefs.

00:24:24.180 They're part of a death cult and Planned Parenthood is their false idol.

00:24:29.280 Meanwhile, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, known as CMMI, has created a test new ways to lower health care costs and improve health care for patients.

00:24:42.500 But a new government accountability office report says the agency has tested more than 70 models over the past decade, with only four of them expanded nationwide.

00:24:52.080 House Budget Committee Chairman Jody Arrington of Texas called that a failure, noting that the 5% success rate does not amount to innovation.

00:25:02.620 Critics also point to the cost.

00:25:04.460 Federal budget experts say that CMMI spent nearly $8 billion over roughly 10 years, while generating only about $2.6 billion in savings.

00:25:16.260 That leaves taxpayers with more than $5 billion in net losses, and projections suggest the program would continue losing even more money.

00:25:25.320 The problem goes far beyond spending.

00:25:27.380 You see, the CMMI gives federal bureaucrats too much power over how doctors are paid and how health care is delivered while creating confusing and burdensome programs for providers.

00:25:38.980 Congressman Bob Latta of Ohio has warned that the agency lacks transparency or accountability.

00:25:45.260 Representative Aaron Bean of Florida has introduced legislation to abolish CMMI as taxpayers are tired of waste in the health care system.

00:25:55.200 Congress now faces a very clear choice.

00:25:58.220 They can either keep funding an experiment everybody knows is not working,

00:26:01.680 or they can end it and redirect those resources elsewhere.

00:26:06.280 For anybody who has common sense pushing to cut waste and reduce federal control of health care,

00:26:12.320 the message is simple.

00:26:13.600 Shut it down.

00:26:15.080 And shut down the entire field. 0.85

00:26:16.620 Bankrupt Obamacare program, too, while we're at it.

00:26:19.640 Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Department announced a sweeping package of 34 regulatory actions yesterday that are aimed at rolling back years of federal overreach, cutting red tape and refocusing enforcement on criminals instead of law abiding Americans.

00:26:40.020 Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ is ending the weaponization of federal authority against lawful gun owners, while ATF Director Bob Sikata, I believe it is, said that the reforms will make rules clearer, legally sound, and targeting willful violators.

00:26:59.180 Among the biggest wins, the Biden-era pistol brace rule is being formally rescinded.

00:27:05.240 Also, the engaged in business rule, which threatened private sellers and gun show participants with federal licensing requirements, is also being rolled back.

00:27:14.260 The package modernizes Form 4473, allows electronic record keeping for licensed dealers, creates defined retention periods for transaction records, and takes a direct shot at any permanent backdoor gun registry.

00:27:29.180 You see, these people hate the Second Amendment of the United States. They misconstrued it, saying that it refers only to a well-armed militia. That's not what we think. We think that the U.S. Constitution guarantees every American the right to own a firearm, unless, of course, they are a convicted criminal or they are mentally deficient.

00:27:47.640 The NRA owners also get belief new rules would streamline interstate travel for items like short barrel rifles, eliminate CLEO notification, and allow joint spousal registration in those states that require it.

00:28:02.880 It also strengthens travel protections for lawful gun owners making reasonable stops.

00:28:08.500 Importers and collectors could also see long overdue relief, especially on firearms from many former Soviet bloc countries, although Russia continues to remain restricted, as they should be.

00:28:20.800 This reform did not happen by accident. It follows years of pressure, litigation, and grassroots resistance from the gun rights community.

00:28:28.200 You see, the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is absolutely clear.

00:28:31.880 This includes major legal wins against the Department of ATF, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, overreach.

00:28:39.420 It also shows how the Trump administration is looking out for the rights of the people.

00:28:43.660 How often do you see presidential administrations that roll back regulations and takes authority away from bureaucracy as infamous as the ATF?

00:28:52.040 We have not seen in our lifetimes until right now from President Trump this kind of accountability.

00:28:58.360 He's fully living up to his promise to defend the Second Amendment.

00:29:01.860 You see, guns do not kill people.

00:29:04.360 People kill people.

00:29:06.420 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing mounting political trouble

00:29:10.100 as he carefully orchestrates a strategy for 2026,

00:29:13.380 and it begins to unravel, not at the hands of Republicans,

00:29:16.060 but at the pushback by extremists within his own party.

00:29:19.440 You see, some in the Democratic Party think ancient Chuck Schumer,

00:29:23.040 he's too conservative to head the party.

00:29:25.860 Chuck is looking pretty long in the tooth, if you ask me.

00:29:28.800 Despite clearing primary fields in key battleground states like Ohio, North Carolina, and Alaska,

00:29:34.860 Schumer's handpicked candidates are faltering in critical races that could determine control of the Senate.

00:29:41.420 The growing influence of the Democratic Party's left-wing socialist progressive wing, also known as Marxist,

00:29:48.080 is exposing deep internal fractures and raising questions about Schumer's tired leadership.

00:29:53.200 in Maine. Schumer-backed Governor Janet Mills, who was struggling to gain traction, while

00:29:59.180 outspoken progressive challenger Graham Plattner has surged ahead, despite a series of damaging

00:30:04.900 scandals and bizarre statements. Today, Governor Mills dropped out of the race. Republicans,

00:30:11.640 including Senator Susan Collins, are eager to face Plattner, viewing him as an easier opponent

00:30:18.700 in the general election. Now, I like Susan Collins. She's been a friend of mine for a long 0.89

00:30:22.780 time. I don't agree with her all the time, but in a state like Maine, this is as conservative a

00:30:28.500 Republican is going to get, which is to say a moderate Republican. She's with the president

00:30:32.720 about 60% of the time, and that is better than a Democrat who would be with the president 0.96

00:30:37.200 none of the time, 0% of the time. Meanwhile, Michigan, you see a similar story.

00:30:43.660 Establishment favorite Democrat Congresswoman Haley Stevens is locked in a tight three-way

00:30:48.900 race with two far-left activists vehemently opposing her candidacy due to her support for

00:30:53.780 the state of Israel. Meanwhile, in Iowa, a Schumer-aligned candidate is being challenged

00:30:59.080 by a rival backed by Elizabeth Warren, whose campaign has leaned heavily on criticism of

00:31:04.040 Schumer himself. Progressive figures like Bernie Sanders, you know, I love Bernie Sanders. He used

00:31:09.760 to criticize millionaires and billionaires. Now, if you watch carefully, he only criticizes

00:31:15.020 billionaires. That's because Bernie Sanders and his wife skimmed millions of dollars in media

00:31:21.480 placement fees from his two well-funded but unsuccessful presidential campaigns. Now that's

00:31:27.340 not illegal, but I think it's immoral because he should have informed his donors that Bernie and

00:31:32.400 Mrs. Bernie were taking a hefty piece of the action. That's why Bernie's driving a top-of-the-line

00:31:37.860 Mercedes. That's why Bernie has three vacation homes. That's why Bernie is flying around the

00:31:43.100 country in a private jet. You see, Bernie likes communism for thee, but not for him. It is

00:31:48.880 outrageous. Establishment Democrat politicians like Schumer's play footsies with the radicals

00:31:54.400 in their midst for years, believing their enthusiasm could be exploited to energiate

00:31:58.360 their base and defeat Republicans. But now the monster they've created is cannibalizing their

00:32:03.420 entire operation. Schumer will be remembered as the failed leader who ushered in this madness

00:32:09.160 that threatens to overtake our country.

00:32:11.620 His failure, while deserved, has the chance to destroy everything that makes our country great.

00:32:16.120 Schumel, remembered as one of the most contemptible figures in American history.

00:32:20.720 Yet he continues, who can forget when he stood outside the U.S. Supreme Court

00:32:26.280 and threatened the Supreme Court justices, why wasn't he arrested immediately?

00:32:30.740 They claimed falsely that the president on January 6th was responsible for the actions at the Capitol,

00:32:37.120 and they deleted from all forms of electronic media when the president urged his supporters to march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol.

00:32:45.900 You couldn't find that piece of videotape, but I've seen the videotape of Chuck Schumer where he says that those Supreme Court justices who don't agree with him will inherit the win.

00:32:55.640 He's warning them, he says. Why wasn't he picked up? Why do we have a two-tier justice system?

00:33:01.060 Perhaps that will all end soon. I'm counting on the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, to arrest and charge Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, Rice, John Podesta, and the entire rotten crew who engaged in a seditious conspiracy against President Donald Trump, who violated the law and the Constitution and their maniacal efforts to destroy him, to keep him off the ballot in 50 states, to break him financially,

00:33:30.900 and to throw him in jail thanks to the department uh pardon me the director of national intelligence

00:33:36.940 we now have complete and total documentation that proves that the russian collusion hoax was the

00:33:42.940 beginning of a seditious conspiracy to take down a duly elected president and now more recently she

00:33:49.200 has released all the documents that prove that the two impeachments that were cooked up by senator

00:33:54.800 Adam Pencilneck Schiff, and the Vindman brothers, Eugene Vindman, a member of Congress,

00:34:01.200 and Alexander Vindman, who's running for the Senate, the twin Ukrainian brothers in their

00:34:06.980 cute little uniforms. Well, they're all guilty of seditious conspiracy, and they must be charged. 0.88

00:34:13.180 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and today I'm on fire.

00:34:17.060 Don't go anyway, because we will be right back.

00:34:20.140 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:34:24.040 He likes politics, and he's a professional at the highest level.

00:34:28.940 Roger Stone.

00:34:30.080 Where's Roger?

00:34:51.500 This is the Stone Zone.

00:34:54.040 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.

00:34:58.120 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:35:05.420 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:35:07.940 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:35:10.320 Here's Roger Stone.

00:35:12.960 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:35:15.040 There's a heated debate in the legislature of a Canadian province that's drawing international attention

00:35:19.880 After the Education Minister of Canada, Brendan McGuire, openly dismissed the role of parents in decisions involving children's gender identity.

00:35:30.080 Speaking during a session of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, McGuire pushed back against concerns over school policies that allow students to socially transition without parental notification

00:35:41.860 and to access publicly funded medical interventions,

00:35:45.680 meaning dangerous puberty-blocking drugs and genital mutilation.

00:35:49.980 The controversy erupts after lawmakers question policies that permit minors,

00:35:55.820 sometimes as young as early adolescents,

00:35:58.000 to adopt new gender identities at school without ever informing their families.

00:36:02.740 Under current provincial guidelines informing their families,

00:36:06.540 the schools may withhold such information unless a student consents to disclosure.

00:36:11.860 A framework designed to sideline parents in critical decisions affecting their children's physical and emotional well-being.

00:36:19.980 Is it any surprise whatsoever that two of the provinces, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the two most conservative provinces, by the way, also the two wealthiest provinces when it comes to gas, oil and rare earth minerals, are actively considering independence from the Canadian nation.

00:36:38.860 You see, under their constitution, any province can vote by a simple vote of the people to become independent.

00:36:49.500 And petitions are now being gathered both in Alberta and in Saskatchewan to do exactly that.

00:36:55.880 Now, let me tell you how this will work if they do indeed vote to become independent.

00:37:01.560 And there will be some effort by the Canadian government to block that.

00:37:07.000 By the way, Canada today, if you own a firearm, you must register that fact with the federal government of Canada.

00:37:15.960 Now, why would they want to know where every single gun in the country is if it's not to confiscate those guns?

00:37:23.080 It is also a country where open public drug use is completely and totally legal,

00:37:28.920 which is why when you see the videos online in Quebec or any major city, everybody appears to be stoned or strung out.

00:37:37.000 But in Saskatchewan and in Alberta, you have these active efforts for independence.

00:37:43.620 I have been in touch with activists in both places, and I know their real intention.

00:37:49.060 They want to become independent, and then they will apply to become part of the United States.

00:37:53.920 They would like to become a state.

00:37:56.740 So under Donald Trump, we could add two more states. 0.77

00:37:59.800 That would be four more conservative Republican senators and as many as 18 new Republican members of the House.

00:38:08.480 This is entirely and completely possible.

00:38:11.780 And then, of course, the president has been pretty forthright about his desire to acquire Greenland, which I think is completely necessary for our own national security.

00:38:21.960 By the way, people who think that that's crazy should look at history.

00:38:24.760 President Eisenhower wanted to acquire Greenland because, of course, it is sitting over the waterway in which Soviet submarines or Chinese submarines would have to attack the United States of America.

00:38:38.340 So don't be surprised if by the end of his term as president, America has two more states, maybe even three.

00:38:45.580 I do want to deny very specifically right now that I am running for governor of Greenland.

00:38:50.740 I will not be a candidate.

00:38:52.040 If nominated, I will not run, and if elected, I will not serve.

00:38:56.920 But the chances of having three new states are very, very real.

00:39:01.640 This will cause Democratic heads to explode, I understand.

00:39:05.900 But just as Thomas Jefferson brought the Louisiana Purchase

00:39:10.460 and doubled the size of the country,

00:39:13.500 I think Donald Trump may be on the cusp of having three new American states.

00:39:18.640 How do you like that for making America great and bigger again?

00:39:22.480 Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone.

00:39:24.600 I'm Roger Stone.

00:39:25.460 We're here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, where we talk about news, history, politics, style, and, well, from time to time to talk about food, because eating is my second favorite thing to do.

00:39:37.620 Thank you for joining us today.

00:39:39.140 Until tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed.

00:39:48.140 We'll be right back.

00:40:18.140 Tunnel to Towers Foundation continues to honor America's heroes, heroes like Fire Lieutenant Michael Wells, who was inspired by 9-11 to serve his community.

00:40:26.000 After 14 dedicated years of service, he lost his battle with occupational cancer, leaving behind his wife, Katie, and their three children.

00:40:33.060 Tunnel to Towers honored Lieutenant Wells by paying off the family's mortgage in recognition of his sacrifices.
