00:01:01.100 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:07.500 Welcome to The Stone Zone.

00:01:10.440 While the Washington political establishment is literally melting down over President Donald

00:01:17.080 Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte, the current head of the Federal Housing and Finance Administration,

00:01:23.280 also the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government mortgage agencies,

00:01:29.760 to now serve as the director of national intelligence, stepping into the shoes of

00:01:35.280 Elsie Gabbard, the former four-term congresswoman, former member of the House Intelligence Committee,

00:01:42.020 who served in that position, now leaving because of a tragic health crisis regarding her husband.

00:01:49.260 You see, the intelligence agencies like the CIA, the people who lied to us about the murder of President John F. Kennedy, the people who lied to us about the attack on the Tonkin Bay to justify the war in Vietnam, the people who lied about the Iraq having weapons of mass destruction to start a war there that killed tens of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis based solely on a lie.

00:02:17.940 The people who lied to us about the Russian collusion hoax and the idea that the Russians attempted to interfere in the 2026 elections.

00:02:30.720 The same agency that lied to us about the origins of the COVID-19 virus, they're now deeply upset that having, in some ways, driven Tulsi Gabbard from office, although I think in her case, she was under constant attack from the CIA because she declassified the Russia collusion documents, proving that Russia, Russia, Russia was a fraud.

00:02:57.580 And she declassified the documents pertaining to the impeachment of Donald Trump.

00:03:04.140 She proved that was a fraud, too.

00:03:06.160 And the three major witnesses involved, the few little brothers who were in the, I guess they were in the army, the Vindman brothers, they were lying.

00:03:19.300 The CIA operative posing as a whistleblower, Eric Cielo Mella, has now been proven that he was lying.

00:03:25.860 It was a constant attack on her. They really stepped up the attack on her when she was directed by the president of the United States to look into these electronic voting machines and whether they could be hacked, whether they were secure, and whether they had been hacked in the 2020 election.

00:03:42.880 It's at that point that the respected journalist Catherine Herridge reported that Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence and her entire staff, including the working group studying the integrity of the elections that was directed at the at the direction was formed at the direction of President Donald Trump, was being spied on by the Central Intelligence Agency.

00:04:05.220 So there's a war going on between our intelligence agencies and some folks who want things covered up.

00:04:11.680 I mean, after all, if you were using that electronic voting technology to rig foreign elections in states around the globe, would you like that exposed?

00:04:22.420 I see where they're coming from.

00:04:24.280 So instead of appointing some CIA simp, some stooge who would continue to cover up, President Donald Trump appointed the director of national housing and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bill Pulte.

00:04:41.100 Now, Bill Pulte is a very young, very smart, very tough, very capable guy.

00:04:48.880 He built a huge fortune.

00:04:51.220 Now, it's interesting. He is the scion of the famous Pulte home building family.

00:04:58.780 He has, I believe, 14 brothers and sisters.

00:05:01.880 But the way their father's will worked is that they did not get their $15 million inheritance until they first went out in the free market and made $15 million.

00:05:14.600 So these people were not handed their wealth.

00:05:17.240 They had to earn their wealth.

00:05:19.220 Bill Pulte is one of the smartest financial analysts I know, and he's extraordinarily capable.

00:05:27.180 And more importantly, he's extraordinarily loyal to President Donald J. Trump.

00:05:33.100 There's still a number of things we don't know enough about.

00:05:35.820 For example, the origins of the COVID-19 vaccination, how exactly that happened.

00:05:41.840 Havana syndrome. This is when our embassy in Havana was hit with some kind of ray,

00:05:50.200 some kind of electronic ray that made everyone there sick. CIA keeps telling you it was a

00:05:55.660 coincidence. I think not. And then there is the big enchilada of that 1920-20 election.

00:06:03.580 How is it that 881 million people voted for Joe Biden? How is it that more people voted in the

00:06:09.700 state of Pennsylvania than are registered to vote? How is it that more people voted in the

00:06:14.960 Orange County, California than are registered to vote? Just as an example. How is it that 300,000

00:06:21.940 printed ballots that were supposedly mailed in, but had never been folded in half and thus were

00:06:27.560 never mailed, popped in out of nowhere in Georgia, Detroit, and elsewhere, all at the same time?

00:06:35.040 the American people want answers. There are some in our intelligence agencies and within the

00:06:40.980 government who don't want answers. Yeah, Tulsi Gabbard fired 37, not fired, but took away the

00:06:48.160 security clearance of 37 holdovers from the Obama and Biden administration. It's amazing how many

00:06:54.980 of them who signed the letter and with 51 former or current intelligence officers claim that

00:07:01.400 Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.

00:07:05.840 We now know today, thanks to the crusading reporting of the New York Post and my good friend, what's her name over there?

00:07:13.580 Melinda Devine.

00:07:14.260 Melinda Devine.

00:07:15.800 We know far, far differently.

00:07:19.000 Also, the great book put out by Marco Polo dot org will prove to you that that is.

00:07:26.460 So Miranda Devine nailed this for the New York Post.

00:07:29.080 and we now know otherwise. But it's amazing to see people like Senator Tom Cotton of Arizona

00:07:37.840 attacking the appointment of Pote as unqualified. Let me put it this way. Bill Pote and Senator

00:07:45.100 Cotton should both take an IQ test. I know who would come out much, much higher. Tom Cotton

00:07:50.880 actually thinks we should do away entirely with the Office of Defense Intelligence or National

00:07:57.280 intelligence and that we should shift all of the declassification authority over to the CIA,

00:08:02.420 which means you would never learn anything. Again, the same people who covered up the murder of John

00:08:08.340 Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the same people who died about the Tonkin Bay

00:08:14.540 attack to start the war in Vietnam, the same people who have lied to us about UFOs for some

00:08:21.020 long period of time. They wanted a stooge in there. They wanted a yes man. They wanted someone 0.60

00:08:26.360 who would cover up for the deep state. They particularly didn't want anyone who would

00:08:30.000 expose anything about the three attempted assassinations on the life of Donald Trump.

00:08:35.880 Instead, they got an excellent appointment. Someone tough, someone capable, someone untied

00:08:41.340 to the mistakes of the past, and someone who's loyal to the president of the United States.

00:08:47.700 So when you're watching TV tonight or tomorrow morning, when you see all these career politicians

00:08:53.400 attacking Bill Pulte's appointment, saying that he's unqualified. Take a good look at them. Most

00:09:00.080 of them are unqualified to be in public office, in my opinion. Interestingly enough, being the

00:09:05.620 ultimate political junkie, I've been watching the early primary results, which suggests that a

00:09:11.820 Trump-backed Republican, Steve Hilton, is in a strong position to advance to November's runoff

00:09:17.540 for governor. Now here, however, don't get your hopes too high, they have in California what's

00:09:22.900 called the jungle primary system. That's in which they no longer have party primaries to choose

00:09:27.720 their candidates, but every candidate of every party, or no party at all, runs in one major

00:09:34.340 first-round election. That election has one real Republican, Steve Hilton. I think there's a minor

00:09:40.840 county sheriff who's a Republican, but he's not much of a candidate. There are, however, multiple

00:09:46.440 big-name Democrats in that race. And therefore, the top two vote-getters, probably likely to be

00:09:54.120 Hilton on the basis of his getting the Republican base, and one of the Democrats will then move to

00:10:00.700 round two. The problem is that in round two, all of those Democrats are likely to coalesce

00:10:06.900 along the Democrat candidate, and sadly, Democrats continue to be extraordinarily outnumbered

00:10:13.380 in the golden state. Hilton, a former Fox News host, campaigned on cutting regulations,

00:10:20.880 lowering gas prices, fixing schools, cracking down on crime, and fighting fraud. His showing

00:10:26.620 is notable in a state where Democrats have dominated statewide politics for years. He's

00:10:31.700 doing extraordinarily well, well enough, I think, to make the runoff. The problem will come after

00:10:36.320 the runoff when the Democrats presumably unite. The results also signal frustration with California

00:10:43.120 status quo. After years of high costs, of homelessness, drug addiction, crime concerns,

00:10:50.760 wildfire failures, and one-party Democrat rule, I can't think of any other state other than perhaps

00:10:56.780 New York that is ready to move away from one-party control. In the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen

00:11:03.740 Bass, by the way, she says publicly her two political heroes are Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro,

00:11:10.100 seems to be headed to a runoff after falling short of the 50% majority.

00:11:15.780 You see, that works in the first election.

00:11:18.820 If anyone gets 50%, they are elected.

00:11:22.420 If not, the two top vote-getters, regardless of party, run.

00:11:26.640 Now, in this particular case, I believe the governorship is not nonpartisan.

00:11:32.500 Early results showed Bass, an incumbent, with just 34.8%, with outsider Republican Spencer Pratt at 30.4%.

00:11:43.400 When you consider that the Republican registration in the city of Los Angeles is only about 18%,

00:11:52.000 you see that Spencer Pratt is getting almost twice as many voters as there are registered Republicans.

00:11:58.940 There's a third candidate in the race, Councilwoman Nithya Rahman, and she is a candidate of the left.

00:12:07.800 So the odds seem to be pretty good that those votes would shift to Bass in the runoff.

00:12:14.680 But I will say this, that Spencer Pratt has put on an extraordinarily clever and spirited campaign.

00:12:21.800 You see, he's just an average guy whose home was destroyed in the Palisade Fire.

00:12:26.400 He has run a law and order campaign using really clever and entertaining AI viral ads and attacks on City Hall's failures to do anything after the fire.

00:12:39.780 He outraised Bass and posed the first serious challenge against far left rule from Los Angeles in generations.

00:12:47.920 The takeaways from these initial results is clear.

00:12:50.620 Even in deep blue California, Trump style outslaughter campaigns are breaking through.

00:12:56.400 This shows why we must be competitive and run serious candidates everywhere.

00:13:00.620 We cannot give up the battlefield anyplace.

00:13:02.940 Candidates of common sense, whether you're a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent, need to get into this fight.

00:13:09.480 Our country is too important to surrender.

00:13:13.520 Well, the famous CBS News correspondent has been fired after a long, long tenure.

00:13:22.300 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after an explosive confrontation with the program's

00:13:29.120 new leadership. Pelley was terminated Tuesday after clashing with the new executive producer

00:13:34.240 Nick Bilton. According to a memo reported by Puck, Bilton said Pelley's antipathy to the future of

00:13:41.820 the show was clear and that CBS was ending his employment for cause. The fire reported following

00:13:47.880 an all-staff meeting in which Pelley attacked Bilton's qualifications, attacked the boss,

00:13:53.900 that's always smart, and accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Barry Weiss of murdering the

00:13:59.840 program. CBS leadership has reportedly wanted Pelley to stay, but later accused him of rejecting

00:14:05.060 any collaboration and creating a hostile work environment. Scott Pelley fired back,

00:14:10.640 claiming new management was destroying 60 Minutes to curry favor with the Trump administration.

00:14:15.200 Now, there's a joke. Scott Pelley, by the way, is not a journalist. He's a propagandist. He only produces those, quote unquote, facts that fit his narrative. The shakeup follows other departures from 60 Minutes, including Sharon Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega, Tanya Simmon, and, of course, Anderson Cooper himself.

00:14:35.220 Now, my old friend, my good friend over there at ABC, Sean Hannity, put it best, journalism is dead in America.

00:14:45.280 While liberals may be shedding crocodile tears over the loss of these establishment media liars, the rest of the public is pretty much applauded.

00:14:53.960 Legacy outlets like 60 Minutes have jettisoned all credibility throughout the years by pushing their virulent anti-Trump narratives and selective outrage powered by elite groupthink.

00:15:05.780 Now, as executives attempt to overhaul a failing culture, the same insiders cost censorship and blame President Trump.

00:15:13.480 Pelley built a long career inside one of the most powerful media institutions in America.

00:15:18.100 It's clear that he very thoughtfully thinks openly of himself and not the accuracy of his reporting.

00:17:00.400 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.

00:17:04.580 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:17:07.560 Well, President Donald Trump says his administration is moving to shut down bank accounts

00:17:13.420 used to enable illegal immigration, human smuggling, drug trafficking, welfare fraud,

00:17:20.500 and other cartel activity. Trump points to his May executive order, restoring integrity to

00:17:27.100 America's financial systems, which directs the Treasury Department under the leadership of

00:17:32.720 Scott Besson, one of the president's very best appointees, to warn banks, credit card companies,

00:17:38.040 and financial institutions about illegal use of the U.S. financial system.

00:17:43.300 The order targets accounts tied to non-working authorized populations,

00:17:48.900 unlawful employees, payroll tax evasion, labor trafficking, off-the-books wage payments,

00:17:55.680 and the use of taxpayer identification numbers without verified legal presence.

00:18:01.140 President Trump said access to a member's financial system should be limited to those

00:18:06.880 legally present and engaged in lawful commerce. He warned that accounts used to enable illegal

00:18:13.140 immigration or to store welfare benefits received by illegal aliens could be shut down with funds

00:18:19.740 subject to impoundment or seizure and return to the taxpayers. The Consumer Financial Protection

00:18:27.240 Bureau is also directed to consider whether lenders may account for deportation risk and

00:18:33.960 lost wages when evaluating credit applications from non-work authorized borrowers. This is a

00:18:41.660 major step towards enforcing immigration law where it matters, the money trail. Illegal immigration 0.94

00:18:47.480 doesn't just happen in a vacuum. It's a financed, thorough, through bank access, labor exploitation,

00:18:56.280 remittances, fraud, and cartel networks. Federal government has turned a blind eye to this pipeline

00:19:02.600 for far too long, too afraid to disrupt a system that works for the corporate elite who employs 0.85

00:19:08.820 many of these illegals at lower wages. Trump administration is sending a clear message that 0.91

00:19:15.260 those days are over. Donald Trump, once again, keeping his promises, cracking down on illegals, 0.77

00:19:21.340 and in this case, cracking down on their illicit use of the American banking system. 0.85

00:19:26.440 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:19:32.600 And you're diving headlong back into the deep end of the Stone Zone.

00:19:46.660 Well, leftist terrorists have been sabotaging equipment

00:19:50.300 tied to President Donald Trump's Freedom 250 celebration,

00:19:54.920 which is supposed to take place on the National Mall on July 4th

00:19:59.420 in an attempt to prevent historic commemoration of America's semi-quincentennial.

00:20:06.180 According to Freedom 50 spokeswoman Rochelle Reisner,

00:20:09.960 a fuel line connected to a generator for temporary lighting was cut during preparations for a May 17th event.

00:20:19.420 Fuel then seeped into underground cisterns that collect rainwater beneath the mall.

00:20:24.580 Officials said the incident did not affect drinking water and the site was quickly cleaned up in coordination with the National Park Service

00:20:32.860 Reisner said Freedom 20 equipment has been repeatedly targeted by leftist terrorists and that the recent leak was the direct result of tampering

00:20:42.400 She said organizers take stewardship of the National Mall seriously and are working with law enforcement

00:20:50.000 The temporary lights were installed ahead of Rededicate 250, a day of prayer and music featuring religious and political figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and others.

00:21:08.380 Freedom 250 was created by the Trump administration as a public-private partnership to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

00:21:21.620 Additionally, the concert series that was announced as part of 250-year celebration has been sabotaged as different artists have pulled out of the venue after receiving many death threats.

00:21:35.960 That's how the left rolls.

00:21:37.700 This is exactly what patriotic Americans are up against today.

00:21:43.020 Even a peaceful celebration of Americans' founding, faith, and national heritage is a target for violence and extremism.

00:21:54.400 The Interior Department called the sabotage unhinged behavior and said it will not stop the administration's work to beautify and restore the nation's capital.

00:22:05.280 We must continue undeterred while realizing that extremist left is the existential threat to our freedom and must be fully dispatched for our republic to thrive.

00:22:17.200 Meanwhile, American businesses added more jobs than expected in May, more evidence that the big, beautiful bill is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

00:22:26.780 Another sign that the labor market is gaining strength under President Donald Trump's America First economic policies.

00:22:34.260 The ADP Research reported that private sector payrolls rose by 122,000 jobs, the biggest increase since January of 2025.

00:22:48.020 Economists had expected an increase of about 120,000.

00:22:52.600 The report follows fresh labor data showing more job openings than expected and a lower level of layoffs, suggesting employers still have strong demand for workers despite high gas prices and uncertainty tied to the Iran war.

00:23:12.280 Hiring was broad-based across the country, with trade, transportation, and utilities adding about 36,000 jobs.

00:23:20.580 Education and health services led the way with 57,000 new jobs.

00:23:26.960 Construction added 8,000, while manufacturing added another 3,000.

00:23:32.400 Professional and business services, finance and leisure also posted substantial gains.

00:23:40.600 ADP chief economist Nella Richardson said hiring was more broad-based in May than in recent years

00:23:47.720 and that the labor market continues to show momentum heading into the summer.

00:23:54.020 The numbers point to an economy that is still moving despite the challenges facing us.

00:23:59.420 Things are far from perfect, but as President Trump said recently,

00:24:03.340 we need to just relax and trust the process.

00:24:06.320 Tax cutting and regulatory cuts work.

00:24:09.880 Spending cuts work.

00:24:12.120 Businesses are hiring, workers are finding opportunities,

00:24:15.280 and the private sector is showing real resilience.

00:24:19.320 This is a result of his administration that is instituting reforms that actually help workers.

00:24:25.960 The message is simple.

00:24:27.400 Lower taxes, pro-growth policy, energy independence and strength,

00:24:32.260 and confidence in American business remain the path to future prosperity.

00:24:37.440 Meanwhile, the Trump administration is moving to rebuild America's tariff wall

00:24:42.560 with a new round of duties aimed at countries that fail to block goods made with forced labor.

00:24:49.360 The U.S. Trade Representative has proposed tariffs of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners,

00:24:57.020 including Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

00:25:01.920 Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom would face 10% tariffs,

00:25:08.880 while China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and Switzerland would face a higher 12.5% rate.

00:25:19.300 U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer, an enormously capable individual,

00:25:24.540 said it is unacceptable for major trading partners to allow forced labor goods into global markets,

00:25:31.480 forcing American workers to compete on an unfair and unlevel playing field.

00:25:37.780 He said every trading partner must do more to ensure trade does not encourage or entrench forced labor around the world.

00:25:47.480 The proposal follows a Supreme Court ruling that struck down earlier tariffs imposed under emergency powers, forcing the administration to use other legal terms.

00:25:57.860 By the way, the idea that a federal judge can rule that the President of the United States doesn't have the authority to negotiate tariff agreements with other countries is patently absurd.

00:26:10.500 Section 301 requires investigations into unfair trade practices and is viewed as a stronger long-term pathway to getting more quickly to tariffs.

00:26:21.820 The public comments are due July 6th, with hearings beginning on July 7th.

00:26:27.860 This is exactly the fight America should be having.

00:26:31.420 Free trade does not mean slave labor trade.

00:26:34.980 Slave labor is not only morally abhorrent,

00:26:37.440 but it undercuts American workers in our countries

00:26:41.120 so massive globalist corporations can profit.

00:26:45.300 These are policies that gutted our manufacturing sector

00:26:48.500 when they were embraced under the false premise

00:26:51.060 of a broad prosperity that never amounted to a hill of beans.

00:26:56.140 American workers should never be undercut by countries that look the other way

00:27:00.860 while the abusive supply chains produce cheap goods.

00:27:05.140 President Trump is once again using tariffs to defend America, rebuild industry, and put America first.

00:27:12.220 This is exactly what I voted for.

00:27:14.200 This is exactly why he was put into office,

00:27:17.100 and we should steadfastly support the president's moves towards economic patriotism.

00:27:22.240 Meanwhile, a California tech executive had been arrested by federal prosecutors after they accused him of illegally supplying computer software and hardware to Iran for use in military and nuclear programs.

00:27:38.520 Jamshid Jami, a 63-year-old dual Uranian U.S. citizen from Newport Gulf, was taken from his Newport Beach mansion in handcuffs Wednesday early in the morning.

00:27:59.320 The Justice Department says he's charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

00:28:06.860 Prosecutors allege that Nomi spent more than a decade selling networking security and encryption equipment to Iran, including to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and Iran's Ministry of Defense.

00:28:23.640 Authorities say he used intermediaries in the United Arab Emirates and routed hundreds of purchases through eBay and PayPal accounts for his illicit dealings.

00:28:38.340 The DOJ also alleges more than 250 metric tons of network equipment were smuggled into Iran through Dubai between 2014 and 2018.

00:28:51.040 team. Nomi's company allegedly served as the vehicle for this operation, with annual sales

00:28:58.020 actually topping $10 million, showing just how lucrative his scheme was. Federal authorities

00:29:06.000 say Nomi moved roughly 15 million from Iran into U.S. accounts through shell companies and falsely

00:29:13.600 claimed it was inheritance money. Prosecutors also say he reported very little income while

00:29:21.920 claiming low-income tax credits while building a $35 million mansion. The case is exactly why

00:29:30.840 sanctioned enforcements really matter. The case has to be taken seriously. Iran's military and

00:29:38.200 nuclear machine depends on network of smugglers, profiteers, and others willing to betray America's 0.87

00:29:47.040 security for cash. The Trump Justice Department is right to seize assets and charge those who are

00:29:54.200 allegedly responsible. He's making up for lost time caused by other Democratic administrations

00:30:00.360 that appeased the Iranian threat 0.95

00:30:04.600 rather than confronting it head on.

00:30:09.440 Meanwhile, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,

00:30:13.840 the administrator, Dr. Mehmet Oz,

00:30:16.480 announced that Trump-Rx is very quickly expanding,

00:30:20.360 adding 160 more drugs to the prescription price comparison

00:30:25.440 and discount prescriptions available through TrumpRx.com.

00:30:31.560 That's TrumpRx.com, comparing them to more than 750 drugs born through drugstores.

00:30:40.180 The site allows Americans to compare prices, claim coupons,

00:30:44.260 and search for lower-cost medications before they buy,

00:30:48.820 adding price transparency into a system that is notoriously Byzantine.

00:30:54.920 Oz said that Trump Rx now covers roughly 80% of the prescriptions Americans regularly pick up in drugstores.

00:31:02.680 Oz reiterated the economic truth that when consumers can see real prices, they tend to make better decisions and force more lost, more cost-efficient competition.

00:31:15.400 This is a truth that has long been lost as our system has become over-regulated and dominated by big pharma capture.

00:31:24.860 The announcement comes just weeks after Trump Rx began offering about 600 generic drugs.

00:31:31.820 Dr. Oz says the site has been drawing roughly $12 million unique visitors a day,

00:31:39.480 with estimated savings of around $500 million so far and growing.

00:31:46.060 The program is tied to President Trump's most favored nation's drug pricing deals

00:31:51.260 with major pharmaceutical companies aimed at lowering costs for Americans

00:31:56.980 who have long paid more than patients in other countries.

00:32:01.860 Oz also announced that Medicaid beneficiaries will be able to obtain GLP-1,

00:32:08.380 the weight loss drug, for $50 per month starting July 1st. Normally this goes for around $300 and

00:32:17.660 $320. This is exactly the right approach that is needed for health care reform, in my opinion.

00:32:24.640 The Trump administration is bringing transparency, bureaucracy, and lower drug prices. President

00:32:31.700 Trump is taking on big pharma by giving Americans the information and purchasing power they really

00:32:37.940 need. Lower prices, more choice, and less Washington red tape is all involved. This is exactly what

00:32:45.820 conservatives and folks of common sense have been demanding for generations, and the Trump

00:32:50.300 administration is delivering on this common sense reform. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio

00:32:58.020 forcefully rejected Democrat claims that President Donald Trump considered personal financial

00:33:04.100 interests while making decisions about the recent conflict in Iran. During a House Affairs Committee

00:33:11.880 hearing, Democrat Congressman Gregory Meeks of New York questioned whether Trump's personal

00:33:17.020 stock holdings created a possible conflict of interest. Rubio, who's a fighter, pushed back

00:33:23.500 hard saying the allegation was completely false. He said he attended nearly all of Trump's foreign

00:33:29.760 policy meetings and has never once heard the president discuss his personal finances in

00:33:35.480 connection with the war, foreign policy, or any public decision. Meeks did not cite any specific

00:33:43.460 stock purchase tied to the Iranian operation, demonstrating once again that his questions were

00:33:49.020 nothing but hot air. The hearings quickly turned combative as Democrats pressed Rubio on Trump's

00:33:55.700 finance, decision makings, and even his cognitive fitness. These are the same people who had no

00:34:02.700 question whatsoever about Joe Biden. Let's face it, through most of his presidency was a vegetable

00:34:10.500 in diapers and often heavily sedated and locked in the basement. Far-left Congressman Ted Lieu

00:34:18.000 raised questions about President Trump falling asleep in meetings. Funny, Ted, you never asked

00:34:23.460 any questions about Joe Biden, who did that repeatedly. Rubio responded that he's never

00:34:28.420 seen that happen and said that President Trump is indefatigable, working long hours, day and night,

00:34:34.260 to save his country. Rubio eventually asked whether the hearing was a Foreign Affairs

00:34:39.500 Committee proceeding or whether it was a circus, complaining that lawmakers were making

00:34:44.580 accusations without ever giving him the time to respond. Rubio exposed the Democrats' strategy

00:34:51.760 perfectly, refused to budge to their biased hysterics. When Democrats cannot win the foreign

00:34:57.640 policy argument, they smear President Trump with insinuations of corruption. It's their standard

00:35:03.340 go-to tactic. The president confronted Iran with a position of strength. Democrats responded with 1.00

00:35:09.520 gossip, theatrics, and conspiracy theories, not even carrying one iota if it hurts national

00:35:16.220 security objectives or puts our troops in danger. Rubio's stunning display showed that the Trump

00:35:22.640 administration is dedicated to keeping America safe while Democrats focus on partisan theatrics.

00:35:30.220 Meanwhile, Stanford University has reported that a whistleblower provided definitive proof

00:35:35.900 in the form of non-public records showing millions of dollars flowing to Stanford from Chinese state

00:35:43.280 linked companies, political elites, and entities connected directly to Beijing. Wonder who's paying

00:35:50.260 for the Ivy League colleges of today? Look to the Chinese Communist Party. I'm Roger Stone, 0.57

00:35:56.860 you're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:36:03.300 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:36:10.460 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:36:12.580 Well, California Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gonzalez has advanced to California's November general election

00:36:19.520 despite an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation tied to allegations of personal misconduct.

00:36:26.100 Gomez, who represents California's heavily Democratic 34th District in Los Angeles,

00:36:31.680 He secured a place on the ballot despite the fact that there are ongoing reports that he had an extramarital affair involving a congressional aide, a violation of House rules.

00:36:43.220 Now, this is nothing compared to the allegations against Florida Congressman Corey Mills.

00:36:47.660 Corey Mills lied about having a Bronze Star, lied about saving three of his comrades in combat during the Iraq War, lied about the financing of his initial campaign for Congress,

00:37:01.160 lied about beating up at least two women.

00:37:04.320 One woman called the police.

00:37:06.640 By the time they got there, he had pressured her into changing her stories,

00:37:11.020 but the bruises all over her body told the story.

00:37:14.260 And then, more recently, lied to the President of the United States

00:37:18.420 because he had to get a federal restraining order issued by a Florida judge

00:37:25.720 to stay away from his second girlfriend.

00:37:30.000 He lied about his wife being a Muslim. 0.51

00:37:32.620 He lied about his being converted to Muslimism.

00:37:35.740 He lied about his private business in which he claimed that he helped get those in danger out of Afghanistan. 0.99

00:37:45.740 Corey Mills is a disgrace.

00:37:47.820 The upcoming ethics committee report on him guarantees that if he is the Republican nominee for Congress, he will not win the seat.

00:37:58.000 The Republicans cannot report to lose this seat.

00:38:03.560 Corey Mills is one shady character.

00:38:06.060 He lied to the president, told the president that there was no restraining order against him.

00:38:11.220 I posted it online.

00:38:13.020 I wouldn't be shocked to see the president withdraw his endorsement.

00:38:16.520 Corey Mills has $150,000 cash on hand, and God knows where he got that.

00:38:21.260 More recently, he played a guy who I happen to know to be a crackhead to attack me on social media.

00:38:28.000 because I've been raising all of these legitimate public questions.

00:38:31.760 If they think I'm going to stop, they're wrong.

00:38:34.360 People in public office, like Corey Mills, who are corrupt, should not be in Congress.

00:38:39.480 But the way to beat him is in the upcoming Florida Democrat primary,

00:38:44.000 because if he's allowed to be the Republican nominee, Republicans will lose this seat.

00:38:49.560 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:38:54.820 Until we meet again, God bless you and Godspeed.
