00:00:23.720 S-A-C-C-O-F-I-L-L-A-S.com.

00:00:27.060 Two C's, two L's.

00:00:30.000 this is the stone zone with roger stone people love him and respect him roger stone

00:00:45.760 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone well as i predicted the outsider

00:00:55.780 businessman, pro-Trump, pro-United States, attorney Ablardo Esperela has stormed to a first place

00:01:06.740 finish in Colombia's election. Three weeks ago, nobody knew who this man was. He chose not to

00:01:13.300 participate in the two traditional corrupt local political parties, stormed out of nowhere as

00:01:20.300 independent. He needed 50% to avoid a runoff, and he got to about 45%, which was an extraordinary

00:01:30.080 accomplishment. Now, interestingly, the third candidate in the race, he follows Ivan

00:01:35.840 Cimpenna, who is the candidate of the current left-wing party, and also a center-right state

00:01:45.640 Senator ran third with almost 7% of the vote.

00:01:48.940 It's very easy to see Asporella's third, 43.7%, very strong finish, almost 45,

00:01:57.220 joining with most a disproportionate number of Paloma Valencia's vote,

00:02:03.680 which means he is likely to be the new president.

00:02:07.540 Now, he is anti-narco-terrorist.

00:02:10.140 He is anti-Marxist.

00:02:12.080 He is pro-freedom.

00:02:13.600 He's in the mold of a Malay of Argentina or of a Bukele of El Salvador, and he's a part of this entire wave towards freedom in Central America. 0.97

00:02:27.500 We see it going on in our efforts to bring down the regime in Cuba. 0.99

00:02:32.900 We see it in Venezuela.

00:02:36.300 We see it in Guatemala.

00:02:38.600 We see it in Bolivia.

00:02:40.660 We see it coming up soon in other countries.

00:02:46.060 So freedom is on the march.

00:02:48.720 Center-right parties are winning again across Central America.

00:02:54.180 And that's good news.

00:02:56.200 This began really in Honduras, where they threw off a Marxist drug-dealing family government and put in Chito Asfura, who is a pro-U.S. and anti-narco candidate.

00:03:12.180 So this is a great trend.

00:03:14.940 Unfortunately, Colombia's outgoing left-wing Marxist trumpeting president, Gustavo Petro, well, he's not taking it so well.

00:03:23.600 Well, after Sunday's first round vote, as which I said, populist firebrand and political outsider, they call him the tiger, Abelardo D'Esperela, finished first with roughly 44% of the vote, while Petro's chosen heir leftist senator, Ivan Cepeda, came in second at about 41.

00:03:45.220 Asparella rose like wildfire in the polls

00:03:49.140 He came out of nowhere in three weeks

00:03:51.180 He was a national phenomena

00:03:53.960 I wrote extensively about how he came out of nowhere

00:03:57.700 Basically a rejection of both parties

00:04:00.340 A rejection of the ruling elite

00:04:02.680 A true populist arising

00:04:06.260 As we've seen in other places in Central America

00:04:09.260 So instead of accepting the message from the voters

00:04:12.840 The current leftist president, Petro, went online declaring he could not accept a primary account, alleging that a private election contractor had added hundreds of thousands of fake votes.

00:04:25.180 It sounds great, but he offered no evidence whatsoever to back his claim.

00:04:30.160 And Colombia's electoral authorities and experts have pushed back on the claims of any major fraud.

00:04:35.560 That is the incumbent government.

00:04:37.560 Senator Bernie Marino, a good friend of mine, called me from down there to tell me the latest.

00:04:41.780 He was sent down a U.S. senator from Ohio, early Trump supporter, real hard charger, was sent as an election observer and said there were no abnormalities done to stack the deck in favor of Esparrera.

00:04:58.060 Petro, of course, had no problem taking power when Colombia's system delivered him the presidency.

00:05:02.880 There was a lot of questions about that election, but now that voters appear ready to move away from the policies of appeasement to the drug cartels, destroying the energy sector supposedly by combat global warming, suddenly the system itself is suspicious.

00:05:18.920 The count is tainted, they say, and the will of the people must be questioned.

00:05:22.480 Petro is a dangerous leftist, and his allies are laying the groundwork to try to delegitimize this victory that I called only days ago.

00:05:30.640 They want to make it a defeat. Socialists are known to praise democracy when they win and attack it when they lose.

00:05:38.900 They love it when federal judges make outrageous, tyrannical rulings for them, but the judges are corrupt and wrong if they make a decision in favor of the Trump administration.

00:05:50.800 That's the America we are living in today.

00:05:53.900 Petro better bite his tongue because I think President Trump's watching.

00:05:56.780 And, of course, there is now a second round.

00:05:58.920 With neither candidate having met 50%, we now go to a runoff.

00:06:05.460 And the runoff, Trump could be very influential.

00:06:07.920 As I say, the third-party candidate was not of the left.

00:06:10.660 She was of the center-right, far more likely to be in line with the surgeon Abelardo Esparada.

00:06:18.700 So we're watching this very closely.

00:06:21.120 This is very similar, as I say, to what's going on across South America.

00:06:24.280 We have an upcoming election coming up very soon, for example, in a number of those countries.

00:06:33.600 We've got to watch it very, very carefully.

00:06:35.660 Meanwhile, President Trump has tightened the terms of a potential Iranian deal.

00:06:40.460 President Trump is really, I think, getting tough with the potential deal to end the war involving Iran.

00:06:47.020 As Tehran continues to refuse to center its remaining nuclear material, this appears to be the sticking point.

00:06:53.400 Trump has made it very clear that the Iranians cannot oppress their own people and they cannot continue to pursue nuclear weapons.

00:07:02.180 They can't pretend that they are when they are, which is precisely what happened under Barack Obama.

00:07:07.900 Obama gave them hundreds of millions of dollars that we know of and hundreds of millions of dollars more in bribe money on pallets

00:07:14.840 to make a deal with these people in which they agreed to stop developing nuclear weapons,

00:07:19.460 whereupon they immediately went right back to developing nuclear weapons.

00:07:23.400 and we actually fell for it.

00:07:25.340 Trump is not falling for it.

00:07:26.880 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said Iran had made major mistakes

00:07:29.840 by attacking its Gulf state neighbors

00:07:32.000 because those attacks pushed our regional allies

00:07:35.100 closer to the Trump administration.

00:07:36.860 So in other words, nations like the UAE, for example,

00:07:41.300 the Saudi kingdom, being attacked in both cases

00:07:45.580 pushes them closer to a U.S. coalition.

00:07:48.360 Very unwise.

00:07:49.780 Secretary Scott Besson, probably the best dressed,

00:07:52.240 and without any question, the smartest, one of the smartest members of the Trump Treasury Secretary.

00:07:58.640 He also pointed to the U.S. blockade, saying that Iran's soil facilities are under severe pressure

00:08:03.740 and that Tehran may have to begin shutting down wells.

00:08:07.040 So we are closing down the oil supply for China, for Russia, for Venezuela, pardon me, for Cuba.

00:08:16.640 And that is when people say, well, it's all about the oil.

00:08:19.480 It's all about the deft use of the oil by Donald Trump.

00:08:23.020 Yes, Trump wants America to make money, not him, but America to make money on that oil.

00:08:28.700 He wants to help make us not only entirely energy independent, but he wants us to be a major exporter of oil, wherever we can secure it.

00:08:38.480 Meanwhile, the war, unfortunately, is widening across the region.

00:08:41.600 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's ordered expanded military operations in Lebanon

00:08:48.060 after Israeli forces occupied the strategic Beaufort Calais.

00:08:52.940 President Trump, of course, is not budging from his long-stated foreign policy position of negotiating from strength.

00:08:59.420 He's not rushing into another Obama-style deal built on appeasement, pallets of cash, and wishful thinking.

00:09:06.420 President Trump is applying pressure economically, militarily, diplomatically, and regionally.

00:09:11.960 Iran may talk big, but slowly and surely, the president is moving Tehran towards a deal with the United States on our terms. 0.77

00:09:21.340 It's because we're going to shut down their oil production. 0.65

00:09:24.200 We've already severely put a crip in it. 0.93

00:09:27.100 This is not going to make the Chinese or the Russians very happy.

00:09:30.900 They'll still be able to get oil, but they won't be able to get it at these prices, and that is the issue.

00:09:36.320 This is the art of the deal on display for the world stage.

00:09:39.500 Anybody betting against Donald Trump doesn't know that he never comes out not on top.

00:09:47.340 He is, I think, losing big on the polymarket when all is said and done is a joke.

00:09:55.940 Trump will be, I think, exceeding expectations here.

00:10:00.260 In the end, he made it very clear that he can't just declare victory and walk away.

00:10:04.300 He has to have assurances that there'll be nuclear weapons.

00:10:07.740 He wants to destroy their so-called nuclear dust on the way out.

00:10:11.980 He's demanding on U.S. inspections.

00:10:14.660 And without it, I'm afraid there will be no deal.

00:10:17.980 This is not a man whose temperament should be pardoned.

00:10:22.440 Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who's been right here in the Stone Zone,

00:10:27.120 is now finally out of prison after Democrat Colorado Governor Jared Polis commuted her sentence.

00:10:33.860 It's not surprising Peters was suffering from cancer. 0.51

00:10:37.540 She was never given proper clothing.

00:10:40.400 She was always freezing.

00:10:42.540 She was under the most inhumane conditions imaginable.

00:10:45.920 I would say conditions probably prohibited by the Geneva Conventions

00:10:50.500 in this epic act of cruelty of incarcerating a gold star mom 1.00

00:10:56.880 solely because she kept evidence of election fraud. 1.00

00:11:01.040 That's what she was really charged with. 0.98

00:11:02.340 She had the goods, and they know it, so they had to punish her.

00:11:06.660 The president's pardon of her, of course, was a federal pardon.

00:11:10.440 While it was nicely symbolic, it did not immediately release Peters,

00:11:14.960 who was fading very quickly from the squalid conditions she was kept in

00:11:21.300 in a state of Colorado prison.

00:11:23.240 This is a moral tragedy.

00:11:26.460 Finally, Paulus admitted the sentence was too harsh,

00:11:29.260 saying the court unwrongly considered her unpopular views in speech during sentences,

00:11:36.060 which is an obvious violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

00:11:39.560 In other words, when she was allowed to speak, she defended herself

00:11:42.020 because what she did was perfectly legal.

00:11:43.980 That, of course, is the point Conservatives have been making for years about liberals. 0.86

00:11:47.860 In America, the justice system is supposed to punish crimes, not political opinions.

00:11:52.960 So if a person breaks the law, the punishment should fit the offense.

00:11:56.220 But when someone receives nearly a decade in the pokey, in part because the establishment dislikes what she believes and what she wants to say to others to hold that belief nationwide, well then every American citizen should be alarmed and ashamed.

00:12:11.900 Polis is facing severe internal backlash from the left-wing crazies of his own party when they're not high, the Colorado Democrats formally censuring him over commutation and barring him from appearing in official Democrat events throughout the state.

00:12:28.780 To me, that would be a great honor.

00:12:30.940 How much rubber chicken can one man eat?

00:12:33.220 This shows that the Democrats as a whole are opposed to constitutional rights, generally speaking.

00:12:38.980 They hate the Bill of Rights.

00:12:40.240 They hate free speech.

00:12:41.340 They really want to erase them.

00:12:43.640 Paulus is the exception, not the rule, or maybe he became scared

00:12:47.480 because what he was doing was so incredibly brutal

00:12:49.880 as we watched the slow death of Tina Peters.

00:12:53.220 Now, Tina Peters being free shows that the culture in this country

00:12:56.700 has changed for the better, but it will turn with a vengeance

00:12:59.840 if Democrats ever wrangle power back on a national level.

00:13:03.360 This kind of cruelty is just a lesson, a taste of what these people would do 0.91

00:13:08.520 if they are once again allowed to weaponize our judicial system.

00:13:12.300 I know it. I have lived it.

00:13:14.120 These are people for whom there is no constitution, no law, no precedence.

00:13:18.140 It's all about these deep-seated left-wing federal judges

00:13:22.400 who believe that they are omnipotent and who break the canon of ethics again

00:13:28.320 and again as they did, for example, when they dismissed Lindsay Halligan

00:13:32.460 as a prosecutor in eastern Virginia in order to get rid of James Comey's huge headache

00:13:37.960 in his prosecution.

00:13:39.060 That was wrongly decided.

00:13:40.220 All three judges violated the candidate of ethics.

00:13:42.340 All three would be, at least theoretically,

00:13:44.860 prime candidates for impeachment

00:13:46.980 based on their conduct.

00:13:48.720 See, they agree to conduct themselves

00:13:50.480 in a certain way when you become a judge

00:13:52.460 and they violated that candidate of ethics repeatedly.

00:13:55.960 For example, their constant references

00:13:57.860 to seeing things in the press,

00:13:59.500 specifically ruled out of bounds under the law.

00:14:03.940 But they did it.

00:14:04.960 And it's why James Comey walked the first time.

00:14:07.200 He's not going to walk the second time. I think the 89-47 case is a pretty strong case. We, of course, don't know what the internal documentation looks like. It could greatly bolster the case of acting attorney Todd Blanch, who has been very hard charging on this case. He's something we're going to have to watch very, very carefully.

00:14:28.220 I appreciate you joining us today on The Stone Zone to help us celebrate the extraordinary surge at Abedalo Esperala, the conservative, outsider, pro-U.S., pro-Trump, anti-narco candidate who came out of nowhere to surge to almost 45 percent.

00:14:49.040 Had he made it to 50, he would be the new president.

00:14:53.640 Of course, the leftist dictator, outgoing president,

00:14:56.500 is trying to throw sand in the gears and claim it wasn't an illegal election

00:15:01.020 when there is no evidence to that effect.

00:15:03.600 Where else could you hear this but the Stone Zone?

00:15:07.660 Get ready, Staten Island.

00:16:14.980 this is the stone zone with roger stone roger stone who's a very very one of the smartest

00:16:30.160 political minds roger stone was persecuted people forget he's actually a brilliant brilliant

00:16:34.940 political analyst now get him his own it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:16:41.600 Sometimes you wonder how things like this happen,

00:16:47.640 but a divided three federal panel of the D.C. circuit judges now ruled true to one

00:16:52.780 that the Trump administration's restriction on transgender-identifying active duty troops

00:16:58.260 is likely unconstitutional.

00:17:00.720 The majority claim the policy appeared driven by hostility towards a politically unpopular group

00:17:05.460 did not address the question of their suitability to be warriors in battle,

00:17:10.880 which is the job of our military, and left in place an injunction protecting current service members involved in the case.

00:17:18.000 Now, the ruling did allow the administration to keep restrictions in place for new recruits,

00:17:22.520 and the dissent made the obvious point military readiness decisions belong to the commander-in-chief of the Pentagon and the Congress,

00:17:29.300 not some left-wing activist judge.

00:17:31.520 Tying the hands of a president conducting foreign policy is unconstitutional.

00:17:35.960 This decision obviously headed to a higher court, and we have a very strong reason to believe it will not survive review.

00:17:43.540 But the Supreme Court has repeatedly been asked to clean up all of these left wing activists, left wing judge judicial decisions and their interference with Trump's policies, whether it was immigration reform or birthright citizenship to executive branch spending of fights.

00:18:02.040 goes on to say that he doesn't have the authority to negotiate tariffs with our trading partners.

00:18:10.240 This is an exceptional abuse of his executive power and it's unconstitutional.

00:18:16.760 The problem is it takes months, maybe weeks, months, even years to get to a federal judge.

00:18:21.400 Meanwhile, progress is stalled.

00:18:23.400 When Trump uses presidential authority, liberal judges call it dangerous.

00:18:27.680 When Democrats use government power to impose their culture ideology, the same legal class makes excuses or they look the other way.

00:18:39.120 This case is not really about compassion.

00:18:41.240 It's about whether or not the courts will let a Republican president run the military according to readiness, discipline, and national defense,

00:18:48.420 or whether every major policy must pass first through some filter of woke identity politics.

00:18:56.040 Judicial obstruction by these left-wing activist court judges are going too far.

00:19:00.660 While the Supreme Court usually gets the right because President Trump's wise appointments to the bench have been decent,

00:19:06.780 there's no reason why Trump should allow his agenda to be obstructed like this.

00:19:10.060 It's time to follow, I think, the example of Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln.

00:19:14.960 Let the rogue lawyers on the bench have their little opinions and proceed forward with saving America anyway using your executive power.

00:19:23.100 Meanwhile, we are going through and going to win some city politics on the other side.

00:19:28.580 So Ramadami ups his propaganda budget to $5.2 million.

00:19:34.120 We're going to lay it all out for you when we come back to the Stone Zone.

00:19:52.200 this is the stone zone with roger stone people love him and respect him roger stone now get in

00:20:02.560 the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone stone zone the hottest political talk radio show

00:20:09.720 in america today where you can learn things you didn't know joining me now is mike howell he has

00:20:15.700 been a leading voice in a government accountability project particularly as president the oversight

00:20:20.620 project. He's been a leading proponent of this concept of a weaponization fund to assist those

00:20:28.660 who were denied due process, those who were abused, weaponized the targets of prosecutorial

00:20:34.600 misconduct, government overreach, and the other efforts to destroy President Donald Trump and,

00:20:41.020 candidly, everybody who supported him. And it appears that the background here is that the

00:20:48.380 The president had a pending suit with the IRS because they leaked his tax returns during the 2016 campaign.

00:20:54.960 Every American is entitled to the confidentiality of their tax records, but thousands of Trump's personal and company tax records, as well as those of his children, were leaked by the IRS.

00:21:06.740 It's a suit he would have won. He could have won. I think he sued for $10 billion.

00:21:10.240 I think he settled for a couple billion with the understanding that the money would go into a fund that would help those who have been the targets of victimization, set up a scheme by which it would be administered.

00:21:21.220 A federal judge seems to have stepped in to stop this particular plan, which I think certainly had a great purpose.

00:21:29.540 Joining us now, Mike Howell, tell me what's up.

00:21:32.020 Basically, the latest is a federal judge stepped in last week after 35 non-party judges sent a letter, retired judges, saying, hey, we don't like this thing, please stop it.

00:21:43.180 Very unusual, very unheard of, actually.

00:21:46.500 The judge agreed and then forced the Trump team to respond and gave him a deadline of a couple weeks.

00:21:51.500 And so that's one kind of lane this is moving down.

00:21:54.520 The real lane that I think people need to be focused on is the Senate Republicans.

00:21:58.320 They are the ones who are most opposed to this fund.

00:22:02.020 They are threatening to defund ICE and CBP unless President Trump abandons his plans for it.

00:22:08.620 So, in other words, they would reopen the border and, you know, let ICE just go unfunded unless Trump kills this thing and, you know, does not compensate those who were harmed.

00:22:20.300 It's an ultimate betrayal by the Rhino establishment.

00:22:23.200 Majority Leader Thune is a chief architect of this posture. 0.98

00:22:26.440 and it's terrible news

00:22:28.780 and it looks like the DOJ today, although

00:22:30.540 ambiguous, said they're going to abide by this court's

00:22:32.840 ruling, which is really non-news, but

00:22:34.800 left unsaid, was whether they're going

00:22:36.780 to continue to fight it in court. And so

00:22:38.700 that's what we're pushing for. Fight, fight,

00:22:40.960 fight, don't give up. These people who were

00:22:42.720 so viciously harmed

00:22:44.060 need to be confident. It just seems to me, however,

00:22:46.600 that there may have been a technical problem here,

00:22:48.800 which is, I think, if Trump

00:22:50.780 had settled the suit for

00:22:52.620 X dollars, then put that,

00:22:54.600 those dollars into a fund to compensate those who had been unfairly treated, set up an independent

00:23:01.840 mechanism to administer the fund, I think there would be no viable lawsuit against that. His

00:23:07.420 money can spend it the way he wants to. Had it been in that way from the beginning of the Senate,

00:23:12.220 nor the judiciary would have been in the way to block this. So I hate to say this as strongly as

00:23:17.380 I think the fund was a good idea. And people kept asking me, what about you, Roger? They showed up

00:23:22.680 Beer houses at 6 o'clock in the morning with 29 heavily armed FBI agents.

00:23:26.680 They perp-walked your wife outside in her pajamas at 6 o'clock in the morning for CNN cameras.

00:23:34.260 Would you be entitled to something?

00:23:35.580 I actually made no decision about had this come to pass, had there been such a fund, whether I would have filed.

00:23:41.720 In all honesty, the people who were mistreated in January 6th were denied due process

00:23:47.700 and were held under circumstances that would be unacceptable 0.70

00:23:51.960 under the Geneva Convention, which we know as we treat terrorists

00:23:55.640 worse than we're treating American citizens,

00:23:58.280 based on many, many credible reports. 0.98

00:24:01.120 To me, those people should be taken care of first.

00:24:04.240 Those are the people I would like to see take care of first.

00:24:07.800 I have no idea what people like Paul Manafort might do.

00:24:12.560 So, Denver Flynn, of course, has already won a financial challenge.

00:24:17.720 He's gotten a million-dollar payment.

00:24:19.380 Now, the million-dollar was pyrrhic, but it was important because it proved that a court of law ruled that they basically set Mike Flynn up.

00:24:27.720 Two FBI agents went there to entrap him.

00:24:30.660 Even those, they both, after the fact, said they didn't think he lied about anything.

00:24:34.680 They were overruled by Andrew McCabe, the FBI agent.

00:24:38.220 There's not even in the in the line of succession at the Justice Department.

00:24:43.200 So it's a very strange thing when you say, Mike.

00:24:45.800 Oh, it's very, very strange.

00:24:47.380 I mean, these people and I agree with you, the January 6th victims deserve to be absolutely at the front of the line.

00:24:53.360 And if I'm needing to lead this fund and the fund survives, these people will be paid in a matter of months.

00:24:58.440 I mean, the speed at which you can operate in this independent funds would really shock some people.

00:25:04.080 I guess I guess here is the here is the question that is, I'm not a lawyer, but basically, since this settlement has failed to serve its purpose, is there a way for Trump to revisit the case and litigate it?

00:25:17.580 Because litigates is he'll win. That was the whole point of settling.

00:25:20.920 I think your initial point is correct, that there could have been a cleaner way to do this.

00:25:25.540 The political problem that I think President Trump was greeted with is he didn't want the money to hit his pockets at all.

00:25:30.520 You can imagine what they would say, and then they'd come after him once again for this if you were to take the payment.

00:25:37.860 He could have combated that by announcing the foundation in publishing the transfer of money from one bank to another with proper redactions, I suspect.

00:25:46.260 It is a great tragedy because you and I both know people whose lives have been shattered.

00:25:50.800 We know people, sadly, who committed suicide.

00:25:53.660 We know families of people, two women who were shot in cold blood.

00:25:57.380 One of them bludgeoned to death, the other one shot in cold blood.

00:26:00.520 The only people who die on January 6th both died at the hands of overzealous, shall we say, Capitol Hill police. 0.58

00:26:06.940 Rather than be charged, those officers have been given medals and commendations, which is an absolute outrage to be beaten to death with a steel pipe, essentially, by a female officer.

00:26:18.820 And then have the coroner say, oh, she died of a drug overdose. 0.56

00:26:22.400 Please. I speak of one of those who lost their lives.

00:26:27.360 The harm is real and it's profound. And it's not just January 6th. Of course, that was the biggest example of it. But people had the full force of weaponization thrown at them for participating in all different activities, whether it's Christian protesters outside abortion clinics or parents at school boards.

00:26:46.320 And to hear the Republican Senate and the rhinos refer to this thing as a slush fund is just obscene because, you know, not just a year or so ago, they would campaign with these people.

00:26:56.880 They would, you know, issue statements in support of them.

00:26:59.640 And now when there's a chance to help them, they're rug pulling on them and they're re-victimizing them all over again.

00:27:05.800 And you know what is actually a slush fund? 0.75

00:27:07.760 How about the Ukraine funding?

00:27:09.360 How about the farm bill?

00:27:10.780 How about virtually all the money they handed out to states like, you know, Minnesota, which has turned around and gave it to Somali warlords?

00:27:17.240 The Senate operates off of actual slush funds.

00:27:19.780 And here, when there's actually a chance to help real Americans, they thumb their nose at them and poke them in the eye and throw them under the bus.

00:27:27.120 And it's absolutely unacceptable.

00:27:28.520 And to make matters worse, they threaten to open the border once again to return to the Biden years if they didn't get their way.

00:27:35.880 And I don't think voters are going to forget that.

00:27:37.880 at some point, the Senate needs to give people that support President Trump a reason to show up

00:27:42.880 and vote for them. And here, they're just, you know, sticking them right in the eye.

00:27:46.600 And I absolutely could not agree more. This is, unfortunately, again, I think the goal was a

00:27:54.760 worthy one. But the president, I think, has to examine whether this can be revisited legally.

00:28:00.680 He needs to continue to press the case. I think that's important. Generally speaking,

00:28:05.000 I'm encouraged that Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche now talking openly about investigating the 2020 election, looking at the safety and security and integrity of the electronic photo machines, presumably also has a seat at the table and looking at the material from the Fulton County warehouse, particularly the 300,000 ballots that were counted.

00:28:23.800 But, Mike, they were never folded.

00:28:26.620 So if they were never folded, how was it they arrived in the mail?

00:28:30.460 There you go.

00:28:31.540 not to mention the admission of members of the Fulton County Board

00:28:35.460 that as many as 35,000 voters match signatures or matching serial numbers.

00:28:41.540 But, hey, what's 35,000 votes in one state in which you only lost by 8,000?

00:28:47.200 You're asking the right questions.

00:28:49.060 And I'm certainly glad that, you know, acting AG Blanche seems to be asking them to

00:28:53.960 and then also backing them up with action.

00:28:55.760 I think he deserves tremendous applause for, you know, defending this fund to date.

00:29:00.540 I hope he continues to. He went into the lion's den and got, you know, ripped a new one by Republican senators who, you know, obviously hate the concept of this so much because deep down they hate the MAGA movement.

00:29:12.660 And so many of the victims of weaponization are part of the MAGA movement.

00:29:16.580 That's why my candidacy, I've been saying I will make MAGA millionaires and because these people deserve it.

00:29:21.820 Well, I will say this. The acting attorney general has also been very out front on the whole Russian collusion question, which as you now know, because it's a seditious conspiracy, sits in front of a South Florida grand jury and set of prosecutors.

00:29:38.040 Todd Blanche has made changes in that team, has brought in Joe DiGenova, a veteran crime fighter, former head of the U.S. Attorney, I believe, for Manhattan, and also high up in the Justice Department to prosecute that case.

00:29:53.540 And they get a jurisdiction that's not Washington, D.C., because they accurately make a case that this is a continuing conspiracy.

00:30:01.180 She begins in the Oval Office with Barack Obama himself running the meeting.

00:30:05.740 Joe Biden was there, helpfully suggesting that General Flynn be charged under the Logan Act.

00:30:11.420 Susan Rice was there.

00:30:13.400 She was saying, let me write a memo when this is over, saying the exact opposite of what we're really doing.

00:30:18.820 It's called a CYA memo, Mike.

00:30:21.980 And you had John Brennan, who was probably giggling a lot because he was the major domo of this particular disaster.

00:30:29.900 He's the guy who knew that the so-called Steele dossier was a fraud, paid for by Hillary Clinton.

00:30:37.180 It was a fabrication, yet he carefully slid it in, not to the actual intelligence briefing, but into the footnotes of the briefing so he could then use it as a legal rationale to get spying on everybody and his brother.

00:30:51.160 So these people are extraordinarily busted, and the question is, will they be prosecuted?

00:30:56.140 The case against them is not a weak candidate case.

00:31:00.140 They knew precisely what they're doing.

00:31:02.000 They knew there was no intelligence breach at the department.

00:31:07.060 They knew that there was no Russian hack of the Democrat National Committee.

00:31:11.040 They had to prove any evidence whatsoever to prove that.

00:31:14.680 And in fact, the empirical evidence proves the exact opposite.

00:31:18.280 If you examine the speed time of the servers during which the material was purloined,

00:31:23.840 that time is consistent with it being loaded to a hard disk and taken out the back door by

00:31:29.220 someone that we can speculate about that but the their their whole narrative has fallen apart

00:31:35.800 yet they still try to stick to it it's one thing about liberals they'll make an outrageous claim

00:31:41.200 you just prove it they'll wait a couple weeks and then they'll recycle it and make the same

00:31:44.980 claim again as if you've never addressed it you ever notice that oh yeah it's how you make the

00:31:49.040 big lie they're the big liars and so you just repeat the lie over and over again until it 0.96

00:31:53.420 reaches a stage of near-religious dogma for them, that Trump is somehow a Russian stooge. 0.99

00:31:59.640 And that's how they try to tear this country apart. 0.91

00:32:02.400 I mean, they tricked a lot of people and still have many who have adopted that trick as an article of faith,

00:32:07.320 and they did tremendous damage along the way.

00:32:09.780 Yeah, when we come back, one of the things I want to talk to you about is the auto pen,

00:32:13.540 because I'm, as a non-lawyer, I'm still convinced that the pardons that were signed by Joe Biden,

00:32:20.240 many of them, if not all of them, utilizing the auto pen should not be legally binding

00:32:27.140 because he didn't even know about them.

00:32:28.780 He didn't authorize them other than in the most general way as he was, you know,

00:32:34.760 as they were putting on his diapers and giving him his nightly medication.

00:32:38.560 He said he wanted that taken care of.

00:32:41.720 You're absolutely right.

00:32:42.600 And we've got a big court case winding through right now where Joe Biden's trying to hide more evidence

00:32:46.900 that would shed some light onto when the auto pen, you know, really came into use.

00:32:52.060 I think his, you know, decline was a lot earlier than people are ready to admit.

00:32:56.300 But he's already kind of blurted out to the New York Times.

00:32:58.760 The truth is, which he told the guys like, he said his guys like, okay, what, like murderers?

00:33:03.420 Okay, take, we can do some murderers.

00:33:05.580 I mean, it was kind of like that, as opposed to examining each case to determine whether clemency was merited.

00:33:12.200 This claim by Jill Biden last night that when he melted down on TV,

00:33:18.020 her claim that she had never seen him act before that like that,

00:33:23.100 nor would she ever see him act that way again,

00:33:24.880 that sounds to me like a bald-faced lie.

00:33:26.960 This guy was non-compass-mentus.

00:33:28.640 He proved it every single day, falling down,

00:33:30.920 could not be able to find the audience,

00:33:33.480 shaking hands with people who didn't exist,

00:33:35.800 saying that he was in a different place than he was,

00:33:37.940 trying to introduce somebody for which he just gave an obituary uh you remember some of those

00:33:43.120 hits i mean it was really it was like a betty hill operation watching him campaign across the

00:33:47.940 country right well he didn't even campaign across the country too much they hit him in the basement

00:33:52.060 but jill biden lest us forget she's a medical doctor right we're to believe that and so i find

00:33:58.120 it hard to believe she missed all the signs that everyone else in the country was so well aware of

00:34:03.840 And I think the auto pen really was running the White House in the very earliest of days.

00:34:08.720 I mean, we in our investigation, we've uncovered, you know, instances in which at the beginning of the administration, Joe was in the White House per the calendar.

00:34:16.540 Yeah, the auto pen was still signing things.

00:34:18.680 And so they started hiding it, you know, in full force during the campaign.

00:34:22.520 And then when they went into the White House, they knew they would have a different type of administration, an auto pen administration.

00:34:28.340 And it calls into question the, you know, serious legal question. 0.76

00:34:31.720 I think it's honestly beyond question, the legal validity of so many actions, including, you know, the commutations for violent criminals that, unfortunately, the Department of Justice is still treating as valid and releasing individuals.

00:34:45.160 People who never expressed remorse and never applied for such for such clemency.

00:34:49.600 Quite interesting, isn't it?

00:34:50.940 All right.

00:34:51.220 We're going to have to come back after a short break.

00:34:52.860 We'll be back with my good friend, Mike Howell.

00:34:55.120 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:34:58.500 That is a great, great person, Roger Stone.

00:35:02.380 The Stone Zone.

00:35:28.500 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell

00:35:40.140 but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but

00:35:46.520 people love him and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone

00:35:52.040 Well, as I predicted, the socialist jihadi mayor of New York City, the progressive Democrat Zoran Mamdami, 0.79

00:36:02.420 has now upped his propaganda budget to $5.2 million. 0.99

00:36:06.440 How many people would that feed or clothe or house?

00:36:09.720 But New York City taxpayers are about to get another lesson in progressive government where basic services are struggling,

00:36:16.020 but City Hall hires more political operatives and insiders.

00:36:19.720 Iran Mandami's new Office of Mass Enlargement. What does that even mean? It's projected to cost

00:36:25.800 taxpayers more than $5.2 million in salaries in 2027. No one can even tell us what the office

00:36:32.200 does or why it's needed. City Hall says the office is about increasing public participation,

00:36:37.680 one of my big concerns, and connecting marginalized communities. I lay awake at night thinking about

00:36:43.580 that. For government services, this is a plausible cover for Mandami's taxpayer-funded

00:36:49.340 political machine. Even my old friend, Democrat consultant Hank Shankoff says it's purely

00:36:53.920 politics. They're going to try to buy you with your own money, warning, as I do, that the city

00:37:00.660 has real deficits and real services that needs attention. The high-tax, soft-time crime policies

00:37:07.440 of Mamdami will destroy New York City. They can try to dress it up as a moderation, but you have 1.00

00:37:14.100 an epically and politicized police department. You have a woke ideology in which when the mayor

00:37:21.500 of New York will not go to the Israel Day Parade, there's something wrong in New York City. It's bad

00:37:27.920 enough that the city payroll already tops $5.1 million with average salaries for $125,000. That's

00:37:34.620 in this little office. One role reported pays $150,000 and I can tell you exactly what it is.

00:37:41.140 it's a campaign manager on a state payroll. Several staffers have previous campaign experience,

00:37:47.840 of course, tied to Mamdami's political operation. They're buying you with your own money. They're

00:37:52.860 running a campaign with your tax dollars. The office has already been canvassing neighborhoods,

00:37:57.520 that's going door to door, pushing residents to attend rent guideline board meetings, in other

00:38:02.400 words, rallies that could affect rent-stabilized apartments. Outreach has taken place in Manhattan,

00:38:08.380 Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. This is a left-wing socialist government in a nutshell.

00:38:14.680 They never seem to have enough money for clean streets or safe subways or the police or the

00:38:18.920 basic qualities of life, including ending people defecating in the streets. But there's always

00:38:24.080 money for messaging, organizing, bureaucracy, and just political muscle. Minidami is just like we

00:38:30.880 knew would be forming a socialist thugocracy with our tax dollars. So stay tuned because I used to

00:38:38.940 think that Bill de Blasio was the worst mayor in New York City history. I may, I may yet be forced

00:38:45.220 to change my mind. He's a smooth media operator who has used a very shady system of non-profits

00:38:53.660 and other political parties to finance his rise. My good friend Sam Antar at White Collar Crimes

00:39:00.640 has very much exposed that. But his policies ultimately will fail. I think this is very good

00:39:10.080 because I think it's important before the 26th election that people see the havoc that socialist

00:39:14.920 left policies lead on New York City. Things will not be better by October. And I think this becomes

00:39:22.080 a showcase of the failure of their policies. Meanwhile, the California Democrats are freaking

00:39:28.300 out of an internet phenomena, who's a former relatively small-time reality TV personality,

00:39:35.340 now using very clever media techniques to run as an independent from mayor of Los Angeles,

00:39:40.200 where everyone knows the mayor is completely and totally incompetent. He's making Mayor Karen Bass

00:39:44.940 probably the most vulnerable mayor in the country because she has no plan whatsoever to recover from 1.00

00:39:52.880 the palisade pacific palisade fires which may have been set for the purposes of clearing the
