Brennan fires two of his own spies, a good friend of mine, and a CIA analyst, Michael Collins and Marie Langen-Reikhoff, who are two of the most accomplished, accomplished, and talented analysts in the entire U.S. intelligence community.
00:00:00.340The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:07.400You are entering the Stone Zone and I am your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:12.860Last night I had dinner with Ross Albrecht and his wife, Caroline.
00:00:17.660If you're unfamiliar with Ross Albrecht, he is the young man who invented the dark web.
00:00:23.300He was charged and sentenced to life in prison, falsely claiming that he himself had sold drugs and guns on the dark web, which is untrue.
00:00:37.040Actually, charging Ross Albrecht for inventing the dark web would be like charging Alexander Graham Bell for inventing the telephone because someone else later did a drug deal over the phone.
00:00:52.520In fact, those who did sell illicit items over the dark web, guns, drugs, and so on, were never actually charged.
00:01:02.640The government's hostility towards Ross Albrecht, who was rightfully pardoned by President Donald Trump, I was an advocate for that pardon, really has to do with the Biden administration's hostility to cryptocurrency.
00:01:17.400Cryptocurrency is the alternative Bitcoin monetary system that has been embraced by President Donald Trump and his crypto advisor, Jeffrey Sachs, as well as his secretary of the treasury, Scott Besant.
00:01:34.800In fact, Ross Albrecht very graciously invited me to join him at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, May 27th through 29th.
00:01:44.960I was honored that I will probably join him.
00:01:48.260The Biden administration's hostility to crypto manifested itself in something called Chokepoint 2.0, in which many of the early entrepreneurs in this alternative currency system were framed for nonexistent crimes.
00:02:07.000The Biden administration insisted that Bitcoins were a security and people were charged with selling and buying securities without a license.
00:02:19.240Now the cryptocurrency market is flourishing under President Donald Trump.
00:02:25.320John Brennan, the former CIA director, has his panties in a twist.
00:02:32.220He says he's appalled that the National Director of Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has fired two of his spies who were still on the national security staff.
00:02:45.220This criminal, who orchestrated the Russian collusion oaks, lied to Congress about spying on a Senate committee that was investigating his illegal use of torture as the CIA director and violated both the law and, well, my constitutional rights, among others, including Donald Trump's, is incredible.
00:03:06.360Brennan can be heard here whining about the fact that Tulsi Gabbard is cleaning house when it comes to deep state operatives.
00:03:15.960Let's remember, she also referred several national security officials to the Department of Justice for illegal leaking.
00:03:24.360Whether those are the same people she has fired, well, we don't know that yet.
00:03:31.940It's appalling and outrageous and demonstrates why Tulsi Gabbard never should have been confirmed as Director of National Intelligence.
00:03:39.120Michael Collins and Marie Langen-Reikhoff are two of the most experienced, accomplished, and talented analysts in the entire U.S. intelligence community.
00:03:48.980With over 60 years of combined experience, they have worked for successive administrations since the 1990s.
00:03:56.440They have demonstrated time and time again their capabilities, their competence, their integrity, and they have served as role models for a generation of intelligence officers inside of CIA.
00:04:07.360They're CIA officers by background and by training.
00:04:10.180And this is going to have real reverberations within the workforce because, as Congressman Hines pointed out, it's clearly a signal to tell analysts throughout the intelligence community, you tell the truth.
00:04:20.980If you provide objective analysis as you're supposed to be doing, you are running the risk of getting fired.
00:04:26.860And Michael and Maria are really the quintessential analysts that you want to have providing insight and information and analysis to policymakers so they make the right decisions for U.S. policymakers.
00:04:39.480But this is a very tangible example of such dangerous and insidious corruption within the Trump administration.
00:04:49.940It was John Brennan who famously helped spread the phony Steele dossier back in 2016, which alleged that then-candidate Donald Trump was somehow compromised by Vladimir Putin and the Russians.
00:05:02.540He is no stranger to attacking our 47th and 45th president with his greatest hits, including claims that President Trump committed acts of treason among dozens of other baseless claims.
00:05:14.040It's important to remember that people like Brennan and his ilk are always guilty of exactly the thing they attacked Trump and his allies for.
00:05:23.300These claims, of course, have been proven to be patently false and were likely known to have been fabricated at the time Brennan and his allies were disseminating him.
00:05:31.260In fact, it was John Brennan who was the true manifestation of election interference in 2016.
00:05:38.120Brennan knew that the Steele dossier, which was used to justify the FISA warrants that were used to spy on President Trump's campaign, as well as to justify the appointment of the special counsel, Robert Mueller, was a fraud.
00:05:52.420In fact, a substantial forensic evidence that shows that the alleged hack of the Democrat National Committee, which Brennan insisted took place on the part of Russian intelligence, actually never took place.
00:06:09.000In fact, forensic evidence demonstrated, based on the download times of the files that were purloined from the Democrat National Committee, that those were downloaded to a portable drive and taken out the back door.
00:06:23.820Now, we know, according to the report by special counsel, John Durham, that Brennan cooked up the Russian collusion hoax with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden.
00:06:37.060They knew the Steele dossier was a fraud.
00:06:40.560They also knew that no one had conducted an online hack of the Democrat National Committee.
00:06:46.760But this was cooked up to allow Hillary Clinton's campaign to vilify Donald Trump as a pawn of Vladimir Putin.
00:06:56.500It's also been confirmed that CIA Director Brennan identified over two dozen Trump advisors, including myself, and then went to the other English-speaking nation's intelligence communities, urging them to surveil them.
00:07:12.900He did this, of course, without any probable cause.
00:07:16.240Brennan's fingerprints are all over the alleged FISA warrants and the wiretaps that were used during the same time leading up to the 2016 presidential election, similarly targeting President Donald Trump.
00:07:29.060It is also true that John Brennan and his cronies were in the forefront of those in the intelligence community who correctly were billed by the New York Post as spies who lied.
00:07:40.700Remember, he was among the 51 former intelligence officials who officially penned a letter proclaiming that the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop were Russian disinformation and propaganda.
00:07:52.780We now know, of course, what's amazing is that Brennan and his co-conspirators view themselves as a select group of insiders and elites who alone possess the intelligence and judgment to determine who the leader of the free world should be.
00:08:12.480That power, however, thank God, lies solely with the American people.
00:08:18.320A second term for Donald Trump actually threatens to take away Brennan's ability to abuse the powers of the intelligence community against their political opponents.
00:08:27.040It actually threatens them to be put in the position of being held legally to account for their egregious criminal acts.
00:08:33.580For those who don't know much about John Brennan, his anti-American leanings should come as no surprise.
00:08:39.420In 1980, he confessed during a lie detector test that he had supported the Communist Party of America candidates in not just one, but four different elections.
00:08:51.200Former FBI special agent John Guandolo also led counterterrorism efforts to the agency following 9-11, including investigating the attack on the Pentagon and developing the FBI's counterterrorism program, revealed that John Brennan, when he was the CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia, had actually converted to radical Islam.
00:09:13.820Guandolo's assertion, I've interviewed him right here in the Stone Zone, was confirmed by another CIA station chief, a man named Brad Johnson, who confirmed it as both well-known and common knowledge that Brennan had converted to Islam.
00:09:28.440In fact, John Brennan even got caught spying on a U.S. Senate committee that was investigating his illegal use of torture.
00:09:38.040If you're spying on the U.S. Senate, what's the penalty for that?
00:09:42.220Brennan and his CIA operators in Saudi Arabia have been accused of withholding information on several of the 9-11 hijackers that could have helped the FBI stop the Islamic terrorists, with Brennan himself actually approving the visas for four of the hijackers who would eventually crash American Airlines 577 into the World Trade Center.
00:10:05.320The report that confirmed this also noted how the CIA used official resources to spy on fellow law enforcement officers.
00:10:16.640I don't have to remind you, the CIA also worked with well-known terrorist-linked organizations, such as ISIS, which are linked with global terror finance organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas.
00:10:27.640Brennan, under CIA director under Barack Obama, actually, infamously stated the ISIS members were, quote, not Muslims, not sure what planet this guy lives on.
00:10:42.700Simply put, John Brennan's words deserve no weight when it comes to anything political, and he is now screaming.
00:10:48.840Why? Because I think he himself fears prosecution.
00:10:52.980Also demonstrates exactly why Tulsi Gabbard is exactly the right woman for the job she holds.
00:11:00.360In the meantime, a real ID is coming to pass.
00:11:05.620A real ID is this government-approved ID that you will need to get on a plane or get entry into a government building.
00:11:13.700A real ID has actually been in the works since the Bush era as part of the war on terror reforms that included the Patriot Act, the FISA secret courts, and ubiquitous national security agency spying on American citizens without a warrant.
00:11:29.500I didn't really realize I needed a real ID to board an airplane until I planned to go to the Italian-American Civil Rights League event in Queens this weekend.
00:11:42.480And then I realized when I went to the airport, I would need such an ID to board a plane.
00:12:57.240We were talking about the implementation of Real ID.
00:13:01.080Real ID, as I said, began back in the Bush era.
00:13:05.480That's when it was first approved by the Congress.
00:13:08.000But ultimately, the movement was resisted by a number of states who said that they refused to comply because Real ID was a fundamental violation of their sovereignty.
00:13:19.900The implementation of Real ID kept getting delayed, but it appears, unfortunately, that its time has finally come.
00:13:27.660With a flooding of mass illegal immigration and major election integrity concerns, the idea of a Real ID is becoming more appealing to some conservatives in search to answers to these lingering national crises.
00:13:40.620The Department of Homeland Security is telling Americans they must comply with Real ID mandates to board airplanes.
00:13:50.340Real IDs makes identification harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists.
00:13:54.720If you plan to fly, make sure you get your Real ID so you won't be denied from your flight or to face travel delays.
00:14:01.440That was what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said recently on X.
00:14:07.440These IDs keep our country safe because they help prevent fraud and they enhance security.
00:14:12.920Please do your part to protect our community.
00:14:15.220This announcement was met with a lot of opposition, including from yours truly, because we believe that Real ID is an unnecessary and a cumbersome bureaucratic requirement at best and a grave step closer towards a federal police state at worst.
00:14:30.780Real ID, my view, is a Trojan horse that will slide into other forms of government access, monitoring and control over you.
00:14:39.220Do you really eventually want to have a mandated social credit score and your accounts frozen if you refuse to fall in line?
00:14:47.240I don't think that it's paranoia to think that this will ultimately morph into biometric tracking of every single American.
00:14:56.180We elected Donald Trump to destroy the deep state and expose the truth about 9-11, not perpetuate the nightmare that was designed to foist upon us.
00:15:20.260I'd say we get rid of the TSA starting May 7th and scrap this Real ID nonsense.
00:15:25.680Less than five years ago, at the peak of COVID hysteria, the mandates were being widely proposed for individuals to submit their biometric data to be able to go to work, to worship in church, to shop at a grocery store.
00:15:37.440The precedent has been set for these sort of actions to be taken during a crisis.
00:15:41.820And Real ID, in my opinion, would be a powerful tool for bureaucrats to reinforce a ghastly new set of controls.
00:15:50.260A real ID creates an information-sharing culture between the state and the federal government, where sensitive personal information about citizens is continually flowing back and forth.
00:15:59.900This data will be stored and eventually harvested.
00:16:04.880Personal health details eventually being stored on a Real ID card with individuals forced to submit their papers to show that they have submitted to a battery of experimental vaccinations in order to conduct basic transactions.
00:16:17.140Real ID in the wrong hands could contain social credit scores to determine whether an individual is guilty of thinking wrong and subsequently then is frozen out of society.
00:16:28.700Real ID, in my opinion, opens the door to many sinister possibilities without much potential upside.
00:16:34.140The federal government is, after all, not known for its judiciousness when expanding their power and their authority.
00:16:40.020The feds are happy to meticulously whittle down the people's liberties over an extended period of time using dubious pretenses.
00:16:47.860We saw this with the Patriot Act, which we were told was put in place to protect us from Islamic terrorists, but ended up being used to spy on American citizens without a warrant,
00:16:58.600which also allowed for permanent detention of a U.S. citizen in secret, again, without a public trial and ability to defend oneself.
00:17:09.860Now, in my opinion, Real ID is a mistake.
00:17:14.380And if Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem thinks that she has a future in national politics or a future as a national candidate, I think she should think twice.
00:17:27.820We got a lot of mail on this, a lot of email.
00:17:39.680The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has confirmed that that department is going to end its testing on primates such as innocent dogs and cats.
00:18:13.180Based on an order by President Donald Trump, the National Archives has now released over six million pages of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
00:18:23.800This is part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassinations Records Collection that is kept by the National Archives.
00:18:32.980While this does include over 80,000 pages of previously classified records, which were released on March 18th, based on Executive Order 14176, there seem to be a substantial number of records missing.
00:18:49.220For example, the House Select Committee on Assassinations, which was formed in the late 70s and conducted an exhaustive investigation, concluded that organized crime had played a substantial role in Kennedy's murder.
00:19:04.680Yet, none of the documents that had been released by the National Archives pertain to organized crime involvement in the hit.
00:19:14.260Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna is not satisfied that we know everything.
00:19:21.700And in fact, she has recently located six boxes of documents pertaining to the well-known gangster Carlos Marcello.
00:19:30.980That information will become public shortly.
00:19:35.080Additionally, there's a CIA operative named Joe Inaitis, who was well-known.
00:19:43.440His material was reviewed by the Assassination Records Review Board back in the 90s.
00:19:49.280But there's nothing regarding this CIA operative and what he was up to in the material that we have seen thus far.
00:19:57.900Now I'm told that seven boxes pertaining to Joe Inaitis has been found and will be released.
00:20:06.500Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna is doing a yeoman job of trying to get to the truth.
00:20:12.700I do think that the president's initial order was a little narrowly drawn.
00:20:17.640And as we are now learning, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the CIA, the FBI, even the IRS, Army Intelligence, and others still have videos, audios, documents, and transcripts that have not been released to the American people.
00:20:38.860I wrote a book on the Kennedy assassination, the man who killed Kennedy, the case against LBJ back in 2013.
00:20:47.460Nothing that I have seen yet convinces me that I'm wrong, that there was a plot that involved the Central Intelligence Agency, the organized crime, big Texas oil, and the big enchilada himself, Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:21:09.300Lyndon Johnson was under investigation in two of the hottest corruption investigations in the 1960s, the Billy Sal Estes investigation and the Bobby Baker investigation.
00:21:22.880In fact, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, had begun telling people that LBJ would be dropped from the 1964 ticket and would be facing criminal charges.
00:21:36.980It was LBJ who convinced John Kennedy to visit Dallas.
00:21:40.980It was LBJ's Confederate, Texas Governor John Connolly, who insisted that the motorcade, which was going from the Dallas Fort Worth Airport to the merchandise mart, both of them outside the city of Dallas, go into the city of Dallas and go through Daley Plaza, where, of course, the presidential limousine came to a full stop.
00:22:07.980That's totally contrary to the Secret Service protocol manual.
00:22:13.980I still am wondering, among the missing material is the video by a man named Orville Nix.
00:22:23.020Orville Nix was an air-conditioned repairman.
00:22:26.200Like Abraham Zapruder, he was filming with his own personal 8-millimeter camera, but his camera had a zoom lens.
00:22:34.820We know that the Assassination Records Review Board set up in the late 1990s to look at the information regarding Kennedy's assassination had the Nix film, which presumably has a close-up of JFK, and could help shed light on whether Kennedy was, as a majority of the doctors at Parkland Hospital now say, shot from both the front and behind, meaning multiple shooters.
00:23:02.620Meaning, of course, meaning, of course, a conspiracy.
00:23:09.420I count on Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida to get to the bottom of these mysteries.
00:23:15.200She's being ably assisted by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, while deep state bureaucrats continue to play hide and seek with these documents.
00:23:27.320We're going to keep you posted on these developments, but look for some bombshell revelations coming in next week's congressional hearings.
00:23:36.660Meanwhile, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, has confirmed that his department will end much of its testing of innocent dogs, cats, and other primates, such as monkeys, before a deadline set by Congress.
00:23:53.880Back in 2024, Congress enacted legislation to eliminate all tests on cats, dogs, and primates by 2026, but the VA is still conducting these horrific spinal cord injury-related experiments on monkeys in San Diego.
00:24:12.620Collins confirmed the efforts to a congressional hearing about the budget this past Thursday.
00:24:17.780The change has come after years of campaigning by the watchdog organization White Coast Waste.
00:24:24.860We have had Justin from the White Coast Waste here on the show several times to talk about this.
00:24:34.680They seek nothing less than the cruel and unnecessary taxpayer funding of this animal research.
00:24:41.340Since 2016, that organization has worked to expose how the VIA was giving puppies heart attacks, injecting monkeys with angel dust, and crippling kittens, drilling into cats' skulls, and much, much worth.
00:24:54.760Justin Goodman has come on the show several times from White Coast Waste to talk about this.
00:25:00.080It was President Donald Trump who laid the groundwork for this end to animal testing during his first term when he issued a directive to the Environmental Protection Agency to prioritize reducing animal testing by 30% by 2025, and then they were supposed to completely eliminate it by 2035.
00:25:21.800President Trump also ended a nicotine addiction study on monkeys at the FDA, and banned several dog experiments at the Veterans Administration.
00:25:34.660Joe Biden upended all of these plans to phase out the testing, and he renewed testing in these cruel and horrific experiments, which I think, based on many doctors I've spoken to, have no scientific or medical value.
00:25:52.820But the Trump administration has worked even harder to end this outdated practice.
00:25:59.580The new administration has already begun ending animal testing at the FDA and EPA.
00:26:05.560It's also canceled grants for many of these cruel research projects, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.
00:26:12.660Now, although PETA keeps making media rounds claiming victory for many of the hard-won gains actually done by White Coast Waste,
00:26:24.720they remain the only advocacy organization to shut down any government primate lab in nearly a decade, any government dog testing labs in the last 20 years, and any government cat lab in the last 40 years.
00:26:39.700So, I think the credit belongs to the folks at White Coast Waste.
00:27:02.220Meanwhile, recruits are flooding into the Border Patrol's ranks after years of difficulty and poor morale.
00:27:10.620Customs and Border Protection has seen a massive boost in the recruiting numbers after Joe Biden left the presidency.
00:27:19.280Under President Donald Trump, the Customs and Border Protection Agency has had a 44% spike in the applications from January to May of 2025,
00:27:29.920compared to the same period in 2024, according to a report out yesterday.
00:27:35.840Under Biden, the Customs and Border Protection struggled to stem the tide of millions of illegal immigrants,
00:27:43.640while the administration mostly ignored its request for help, which caused even lower recruitment figures,
00:27:50.280while low morale caused a record number of suicides among agents to spike.
00:27:55.620During the Biden years, the Customs and Border Protection Agency tallied a whopping 8.5 million border encounters,
00:28:04.680as well as 1.7 million known getaways.
00:28:09.440More than 250 illegal migrants encountered at the southern border between 20 and 21 were known to be on a terror watch list.
00:28:18.040How many slipped through the border that we cannot identify?
00:28:21.200On his way out of the agency, former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus said in 2022 that morale was the worst it's ever been.
00:28:33.700Magnus was told to step down by former Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas,
00:28:38.700or else he would have been fired for coming out and telling the truth.
00:28:43.400Let's face it, the policy on our southern border of the Biden administration was one of open borders with as many as 20 million illegals flooding into the country.
00:28:57.340President Donald Trump now struggling with the federal courts over his executive authority to expel and deport these people.
00:29:06.320And he has talked openly about the possibility that he will suspend habeas corpus declaring a national emergency in order to secure his executive authority to crack down on illegal immigration immediately,
00:29:24.520which he has been doing hampered by the courts.
00:29:28.280Border apprehensions plummeted in the first month of his office, hitting a 15-year low in February, according to DHS.
00:29:35.920Other divisions said they've seen marked improvement performance.
00:29:39.220In fact, border crossings are down 93 percent since Donald Trump became president.
00:29:47.900The U.S. Coast Guard has seen an uptick in drug seizures as well, capturing 11 percent more cocaine in fiscal 2025,
00:29:55.200far more than they interdicted during the entire preceding year.
00:30:02.020With over 4,250 new recruits having signed up in an increase of 1,200 relative to the same period in 2024,
00:30:11.220the Coast Guard has seized over 110,000 pounds of cocaine and marijuana worth almost $1.5 billion.
00:30:19.980Additionally, the Secret Service has had the recruitment spike as well, with 200 percent more applications so far this year.
00:30:28.800For years, the previous administration demoralized and denied resources to our brave men and women in law enforcement,
00:30:37.500Now we finally see that we are reinvigorating the Secret Service and providing it with the resources our brave men and women need to do their jobs.
00:30:47.640In the meantime, FBI Director Cash Patel has announced that, well, he's shutting down the infamous agency's current headquarters in D.C.
00:31:24.340So now Patel is taking 1,500 of those people and moving them out.
00:31:28.280Every state is going to get an addition.
00:31:31.280When we do things like that, Patel said, we inspire people to become intel agents and say, well, we want to work with the FBI.
00:31:38.440In the next three, six, or nine months, we're going to do that.
00:31:42.320We want the American men and women to know that we're going to be working at the premier law enforcement agency in the country,
00:31:48.680and we're going to give you a building that is commensurate with that.
00:31:52.580Cash Patel is another example of a massive upgrade in personnel America has enjoyed under Donald Trump as president.
00:31:59.300Before Trump took office, the head of the FBI was James Comey, who as of today seems to be in deep trouble.
00:32:06.340Now, those who say that he will be jailed have to recognize that, yes, we have due process in this country.
00:32:13.120So he would have to be charged, and he would have to be tried, and he would have to be found guilty.
00:32:19.420Remains to be seen as to whether any of that will actually happen.
00:32:23.820Meanwhile, the House Republicans are blocking a move to, pardon, moving to block an estimated 1.4 million illegal aliens from receiving America's taxpayer-funded Medicaid
00:32:38.720as Democrats struggled to message their support for this unpopular position.
00:32:43.680The House Energy and Commerce Committee completed its markup of a portion of the budget reconciliation bill Wednesday morning after an all-night session,
00:32:53.580which included a provision blocking anyone unable to verify their citizenship, nationality, or a satisfactory immigration status from Medicaid coverage.
00:33:05.540I believe that's the way it should be.
00:33:07.500The committee projects 1.4 million illegals will be removed from the program due to these new requirements.
00:33:15.140So this is yet another part of the golden age, an old age of responsibility,
00:33:21.220where only those who are legally entitled to government benefits will be allowed to get them.
