00:01:07.100 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:20.340 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:01:24.120 People love him and respect him.

00:01:25.580 Roger Stone.

00:01:26.500 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:01:34.380 You are now diving headfirst in the deep end of the Stone Zone.

00:01:40.200 Well, President Donald Trump once again demonstrated his unyielding commitment to election integrity and the truth about the 2020 election,

00:01:50.540 storming off the set of NBC's Meet the Press during a heated interview with host Kirsten

00:01:58.360 Welker. This is not the first time for Welker. She has yet to correct or apologize for the

00:02:04.900 blatant lie she made on air about President Donald Trump's reaction to a shooting near the White

00:02:10.840 House back on August 10th, 2020. Trump was ushered from the podium by the Secret Service

00:02:17.260 and returned about 10 minutes later to report quite calmly about what happened.

00:02:22.980 Ms. Welker then asked the president if he was at all rattled by the experience,

00:02:28.440 to which he calmly and rhetorically replied, do I look rattled?

00:02:32.400 Two hours later, Ms. Welker reported from the White House on the air

00:02:37.540 that when she asked the president if he was rattled, he said, well, of course.

00:02:43.060 Welker and MSNBC refused to correct her false reporting when the National Legal and Policy

00:02:50.380 Center attorney Paul Kamenar called her out on it. 0.58

00:02:53.960 Trump was right about cut to cut short his recent interview with the crooked Welker in

00:02:59.420 Wisconsin, who denied Trump's claim once again that she was a liberal, actually saying with

00:03:04.780 a straight face, no, I'm just a journalist.

00:03:07.100 If she's just a journalist, why did she give that big contribution to Kamala Harris? 0.79

00:03:13.260 After Welker repeatedly smeared him with baseless accusations of no evidence and attacked the January 6th patriots,

00:03:21.360 claiming that there are no evidence that January 6th was a setup, Trump had finally had enough of this one-sided ambush.

00:03:28.560 He ripped off the microphone, tossed it down, and declared,

00:03:32.060 your elections are crooked and you're crooked and meet the press is crooked and so is ABC,

00:03:38.440 CBS and CNN. Trump then crushed the mic underfoot as he walked off a fitting symbol of rejecting

00:03:46.300 the continued fake news propaganda. Trump grilled Welker for six minutes, defending January 6th

00:03:53.900 supporters targeted by the Biden regime and exposing the rigged trials and dirty cops who

00:04:00.340 were involved. He highlighted his proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund to protect

00:04:07.940 Americans from weaponized government. What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people.

00:04:13.560 They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong. When Welker defended California's delayed vote

00:04:20.140 counting, that's how they vote in California, Trump fired back, do you think it's appropriate

00:04:25.360 that they have an election and five days later, they still don't have a result. You're nowhere

00:04:31.740 close to picking a winner. You're either crooked or you're stupid, the president said. I think he 1.00

00:04:37.260 got that right. Trump's refusal to budge on the 2020 stolen election remains a cornerstone of

00:04:44.280 his America First agenda. What's amazing is that the mainstream media won't finally admit, based

00:04:50.360 on the now overwhelming evidence of election fraud in 2020 that the whole thing was fixed.

00:04:56.720 In major Democrat-run cities, glaring irregularities screamed fraud. In Detroit's

00:05:03.640 vote counting center, observers reported ballots being counted without proper oversight,

00:05:10.560 with affidavits detailing unsecured ballots and mysterious vans delivering loads of ballots at

00:05:16.920 three o'clock in the morning. Milwaukee saw suspicious surges in absentee ballots from

00:05:22.460 Democrat strongholds with turnout anomalies and indefinitely confined voter loopholes exploded

00:05:28.800 en masse. Why were the Republican election observers physically removed by the Detroit

00:05:34.400 police? Why did they put off large pieces of cardboard over the windows so nobody could see

00:05:39.760 what was going on in the counting center? Atlanta's State Farm Marina footage captured

00:05:45.120 suitcases of ballots pulled out from under tables after observers were told to leave,

00:05:50.980 followed by massive Biden paper ballot dumps. Philadelphia and other urban machines delivered

00:05:58.800 statistically impossible late-night vote spikes favoring Biden by an 80 to 90 percent margin or

00:06:05.360 more, defying all historical patterns and mathematical possibilities. These urban centers,

00:06:11.980 long plagued by Democrat political machines, produced enough questionable ballots to flip 0.98

00:06:17.640 key swing states back in 2020. President Trump has never wavered. The 2020 elections were rigged.

00:06:24.400 There's more than overwhelming evidence against it. And the American people understand it.

00:06:28.920 A recent Rasmussen poll showed that more than 80 percent of the people believe the 2020 election

00:06:35.560 was fixed. The crooked media and the deep state know it. President Trump's bold stand exposes the

00:06:42.140 fake news cartels desperation. While elites smear patriots and rig the system, President Trump

00:06:49.040 continues to fight for fair elections, secure borders and justice. This is why the public

00:06:54.160 trusts the president and he will never back down. This is why fewer and fewer people are watching

00:06:59.020 NBC, in particular, Ms. Welker. You've seen a perfect example of this in California's Los

00:07:06.740 Angeles mayor's race. In this instances of grotesque election fraud, you do not have a

00:07:13.880 go back to the 2020 presidential election. You can look at what is taking place in Los Angeles

00:07:19.600 right now, where former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is really getting screwed. Los Angeles 0.83

00:07:26.220 City Council member Nithya Raman mysteriously overtook Pratt for second place in the mayoral

00:07:33.220 primary nine days after election day as dubious ballots keep pouring in. With 83.2 percent of

00:07:40.360 votes counted, incumbent Karen Bass leads with 34.68, while Raman, who conceded on election night,

00:07:48.540 has suddenly surged to 27.12 over Pratt's 26.69, flipping a pre-election polling edge

00:07:57.600 and election night momentum through waves of these mysterious late-arriving mail-ins.

00:08:03.560 The pattern is damning. Recent drops heavily favored Raman as around 40%,

00:08:09.500 while Pratt received just 18 and even Bass only 33. Pratt running as an outsider voice on crime

00:08:17.060 and homelessness watched as his lead evaporates as California's slow rolling bogus count dragged

00:08:24.960 on. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pinned the blame squarely on Governor Gavin Newsom's

00:08:30.800 election reforms, which include universal mail-in ballots, same-day registration with no ID

00:08:38.360 requirements, and dirty voter lists. In fact, showing a picture ID to vote in California is

00:08:45.280 actually illegal. According to McCarthy, the real reason ID is banned in California is so to enlarge

00:08:53.260 large-scale fraud. When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized,

00:09:00.900 said the former speaker. Pratt's campaign rightly called out the farce. Votes for Rahman have been

00:09:07.120 ballooned without similar gains from Bass. How is it that all of these last late coming votes

00:09:14.360 are overwhelming for Rahman rather than Bass, the incumbent mayor, who by the way admits that

00:09:21.040 her two political heroes are Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro. This isn't democracy. It's a rigged

00:09:27.560 process designed to let Democrats manufacture outcomes after the polls have closed. Americans

00:09:34.180 see through the truth, unsecured mail-in ballots, chain of custody questions, signature verification

00:09:41.360 rigor, and same-day transparency are inherently untrustworthy. President Trump's fight for

00:09:47.500 election integrity has never been more urgent. Real reform, voter ID, election day voting,

00:09:54.480 paper ballots, and cleaned up voter rolls are essential to restoring faith in the system.

00:10:00.100 If this does not compel the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, Save America Act as it's now called,

00:10:06.480 well, it's clear that our senators are in on the fraud scheme and stand with the enemies

00:10:11.140 of this nation. Trump's pick for the director of national intelligence sends the deep state into

00:10:19.000 a full meltdown. Bill Pulte has Democrats and RINOs squirming as President Donald Trump is

00:10:25.820 delivering another masterclass in draining the swamp with his appointment of Pulte as the acting

00:10:31.920 director of national intelligence. On Sunday's Face the Nation, Jim Himes of Connecticut,

00:10:37.780 The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee unleashed a panic tirade labbing Pulte's appointment by Trump, the worst and most dangerous appointment.

00:10:49.380 Himes demanded that Trump sober up and pull his pick of Pulte, admitting that it has derailed FISA Section 702 reauthorization, a controversial surveillance tool long abused by the intelligence community.

00:11:04.260 Actually, if Bill Pulte's appointment causes the House and the Senate not to renew FISA Section 702, by the way, that's the section under which they illegally spied on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, that would be an accomplishment in itself.

00:11:22.700 Himes, a leftist, pleaded for an alternative and warned of potential terrorist attacks,

00:11:28.280 exposing the deep state's reliance on unchecked power and their fear of real accountability.

00:11:34.100 Trump, true to form, refuses to back down, making both Democrats and timid rhino Republicans visibly scrim. 0.73

00:11:41.740 I know Bill Pulte. I've known him for years. 0.80

00:11:44.560 He's a battle-tested reformer and America's first loyalist,

00:11:47.980 current leading the Federal Housing Finance Agency, bringing outsider energy to the bloated

00:11:54.080 intelligence community. His willingness to target political enemies of the president

00:11:58.720 signals a long overdue house cleaning. They're very upset about the fact that he used publicly

00:12:04.540 available documents to prove that Letitia James engaged in mortgage fraud. So did Lisa Cook,

00:12:10.560 the member of the Federal Reserve Board. No, he didn't use an access proprietary databases.

00:12:17.980 Everything Bill Pulte produced can be found online by anyone with a laptop.

00:12:23.480 You see, there's a different standard.

00:12:25.680 People like Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell or Letitia James or Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook are allowed to engage in mortgage fraud.

00:12:36.260 But if I did what they did, trust me, I'd already be in jail.

00:12:39.600 By installing a proven disruptor without the taint of permanent D.C. insider corruption,

00:12:45.420 Trump has thrown a wrench into the surveillance state's gears.

00:12:49.560 This move proves that President Trump's iron resolve, the deep state's days are actually numbered.

00:12:55.480 No more weaponized intelligence against patriots.

00:12:58.740 No more endless FISA abuses.

00:13:01.160 No more unaccountable bureaucrats hiding behind national security.

00:13:06.040 While establishment figures like Himes, I'm embarrassed that this guy is from my home state of Connecticut,

00:13:11.600 hyperventilate, Americans cheer a president who prioritizes loyalty over the people,

00:13:18.780 loyalty over the swamp. Trump's strategic appointment exposes the intelligence cartel's

00:13:24.960 desperation to protect their fiefdom and continue to cover up their lives. With policy at the helm,

00:13:31.580 expect real reform, declassification of abuses, and justice for those targeted by the Biden area,

00:13:38.820 a deep state. The era of unbridled intelligence overreach is ending. Trump is making America

00:13:44.760 secure and sovereign again with the appointment of Bill Pulte. Newly released federal records

00:13:51.540 have unearthed disturbing details about the July 13th, 2024 assassination attempt on President

00:13:58.620 Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, raising serious questions about potential insider

00:14:04.460 involvement or catastrophic failures. Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit

00:14:11.180 forced the FBI to release 48 heavily redacted pages revealing that a Butler County Sheriff's

00:14:18.860 Office deputy exchanged two emails with the alleged assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks prior

00:14:26.160 to the attack. The contents of these emails remain completely blacked out, fueling suspicions of a

00:14:32.320 deeper conspiracy. The deputy claimed no personal interaction and only realized the connection

00:14:37.960 after a New York Times reporter contacted her. Why was Crooks emailing a local deputy? What

00:14:44.080 exactly was discussed? Why are these emails or records redacted? All screams of a cover-up of

00:14:50.940 some time when the American people deserve total and complete transparency. Adding to the strange

00:14:57.440 timeline, a SWAT officer recovered a gray remote device with an antenna from Crooks pocket. Details

00:15:06.400 still murky and never previously reported to the American people. A Beaver County medic reported a

00:15:13.260 police canine hit on the building where Crooks was perched. When we come back, more about questions

00:15:19.840 about the attempted assassination on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:15:49.660 Ray Charles didn't just sing music, he fused America's traditions into something entirely new.

00:15:54.740 Everybody's doing the mess around.

00:15:56.500 Blind from childhood, Ray blended gospel, blues, jazz, country, and rhythm and blues

00:16:01.580 into a sound that became simply known as soul.

00:16:05.140 Hey, mama, don't you treat me wrong.

00:16:07.140 With hits like Georgia On My Mind and Hit The Road, Jack,

00:16:10.880 he delivered performances with joy, pain, humor, and raw humanity.

00:16:15.420 What you say?

00:16:16.600 Hit the road, Jack.

00:16:17.880 Don't you drop back.

00:16:18.820 Ray also broke barriers in the business of music,

00:16:21.920 demanding creative control and ownership at a time when few artists had such power.

00:16:27.700 His genius crossed every genre and every audience.

00:16:32.140 Tough, independent, deeply emotional, Ray Charles became one of the defining voices of American culture itself.

00:19:49.140 Where's Roger Stone?

00:19:50.400 Here's Roger Stone.

00:19:52.860 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:19:55.040 We're talking about the many unanswered questions regarding the attempted life on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:20:03.340 And this shocking new revelation that a gray remote device with an antenna was found in Crook's pocket.

00:20:13.380 A detail still not reported to the American people.

00:20:16.600 A Beaver County medic reported a police cannot hit on the building where Crooks perched, yet protocol lapses allowed the shooter to remain in position.

00:20:26.680 In fact, he was seen for over 90 minutes inside the restricted area where Trump was going to appear.

00:20:34.820 Questions also wonder about why Crooks' body was cremated within 10 days of the attempted assassination.

00:20:42.860 They also swirl around when Trump's Crook's body was actually removed and who handled the body bag.

00:20:50.760 This is not normal.

00:20:52.520 A direct email link between law enforcement and the shooter combined with ongoing redactions and security breakdowns point to either gross incompetence or something far more sinister.

00:21:04.360 Why were the state, federal, and local police officers all on different radio frequencies so they couldn't communicate with each other?

00:21:13.820 Well, the police and those in law enforcement may not have seen crooks on the roof, but many average citizens did.

00:21:20.940 You go on YouTube and see it yourself.

00:21:23.080 It was pointed out for over 90 minutes.

00:21:26.040 The deep state's history of weaponization against Trump makes these omissions unacceptable.

00:21:30.360 unacceptable. President Trump and the American people demand unredacted full documents,

00:21:37.760 aggressive congressional probes, and full accountability now. The full truth behind

00:21:42.660 this near miss must come out before there is yet another attempt. President Donald Trump

00:21:48.560 has already been the target of three separate additional assassination attempts, and we still

00:21:55.280 don't have the truth about the first one. Kind of reminds me of the Kennedy assassination. It's

00:22:01.440 more than 50 years later, and we still don't know everything about who killed President John F.

00:22:07.420 Kennedy and why. I'm afraid in the case of Crooks, we have an almost identical situation.

00:22:13.600 I, for one, am not satisfied. I want to know more about Thomas Matthew Crooks. I'm not even sure

00:22:19.960 that he's the actual shooter,

00:22:22.320 and I find it hard to believe

00:22:23.900 that he had no Confederates. 0.80

00:22:26.900 Is it coincidental that he just

00:22:28.600 practiced shooting at the same place

00:22:32.720 as the DHS officers?

00:22:35.220 No, we need to know a lot more

00:22:36.560 about who tried to kill

00:22:37.960 President Donald Trump and more.

00:22:39.960 I'm Roger Stone.

00:23:10.060 Add more fruits and vegetables to your meals.

00:23:11.980 Choose lean proteins that reduce processed foods and excess sugar.

00:23:15.880 Skipping meals or relying on fast food regularly can leave your body running on empty.

00:23:20.640 Instead of focusing on perfection, aim for consistency.

00:23:23.680 Preparing meals ahead of time or making healthier swaps can go a very long way.

00:23:27.760 Remember, nutrition is fuel for both body and mind.

00:23:47.900 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative.

00:23:51.340 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:24:03.180 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:24:07.020 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:24:10.960 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:24:12.180 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:24:15.100 Now, get in the zone.

00:24:17.060 It's the Stone Zone.

00:24:19.060 Here's Roger Stone.

00:24:22.200 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:24:25.080 Leading the news, Iran has shot down a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz,

00:24:32.120 and President Donald Trump says they will pay. 0.55

00:24:34.740 Last night, over the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway under which almost 20% of the world's energy must flow, the most important 21 miles of water on planet Earth, the Ayatollah's regime made a decision.

00:24:49.040 They looked up at an American AH-64 Apache helicopter, two American soldiers inside patrolling international waters near the coast of Oman, and they pulled the trigger.

00:25:00.340 At 7.33 p.m. Eastern Time on June 8th, that Apache, pardon me, I correct myself, I earlier said I was a Blackhawk, was an Apache, that Apache helicopter went down into the dark waters of the Gulf. 0.55

00:25:13.480 And for two agonizing orders, two American aviators floated in hostile seas while the world's most dangerous regime watched.

00:25:21.320 Thank God and thank the finest military on the face of Earth, those two pilots are alive tonight, safe and uninjured.

00:25:29.660 And here is the part history will remember. They were pulled out of the water by an unmanned American drone boat, a 24-foot Corsair vessel operated by the Navy's Task Force 59. This is the first sea drone rescue in the history of warfare. While Tehran was playing with fire, American innovation here was saving American lives. Let that contrast sink in for a moment.

00:25:56.880 So here's what we know. The U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack was brought down over the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command initially called it an incident under investigation. Then President Trump, briefed by the military, confirmed it himself on his true social media platform. The Iranians shot it down, he said.

00:26:18.560 The U.S. official says the investigation determined that Iranians' drone struck the helicopter, although Washington has not yet declared where the strike was intentional.

00:26:28.420 I think we can figure that one out.

00:26:30.360 This happened again off the coast of Oman, the choke point through which actually about a fifth of the world's oil must flow, and the water array that Iran has effectively strangled since the war began in late February.

00:26:43.140 There were, as I say, two U.S. Army aviators, both rescued roughly two hours after going down. 0.72

00:26:48.940 Both, I'm happy to say now, perfectly safe.

00:26:51.940 The Apache they flew is no ordinary aircraft.

00:26:54.980 These helicopters are the tip of the spear when it comes to enforcing America's blockade on Iranian crude oil,

00:27:02.120 the economic chokehold designed to drag Tehran to the negotiating table.

00:27:07.560 The timing here is very key.

00:27:09.200 Timing, my friends, is never an accident in geopolitics. The shootdown came one day after Israel and Iran exchanged direct fire for the first time since April 8th and the declared ceasefire.

00:27:22.540 And mere hours before President Trump, leaving the NBA Finals game in New York, told reporters the United States and Iran were in the final stages of what would be a very, very good deal.

00:27:35.300 A deal to end Iran's nuclear ambitions, a deal to reopen the strait, a deal, he said, that could be signed in two or three days. 0.59

00:27:44.780 And what was Tehran's answer? A drone into an American helicopter in an attempt to kill two Americans. 0.63

00:27:52.040 Iran's response? No claim of responsibility, no apology. Instead, Foreign Minister Abbas Argarachi took to X with a threat dressed up as advice, saying foreign forces near Iranian territory face constant risk from accidents and crossfire, that the best way to reduce the risk is for America to leave the region, and that while Iran prefers the language of democracy, it speaks other languages as well. 0.66

00:28:22.040 Well, that's not only a threat, it's an insult.

00:28:25.260 That, ladies and gentlemen, is not diplomacy.

00:28:27.760 That is like a mob boss telling you it would be a shame if something happened to your helicopter.

00:28:33.540 Make no mistake about what this was.

00:28:35.680 This was not an accident.

00:28:37.020 This was yet another test. 0.97

00:28:38.660 The mullahs have read the old playbook, provoke, deny, negotiate, bleed America with a thousand small cuts, and bet that Washington blinks.

00:28:48.200 They ran that play on weak administrations like Joe Biden's for 40 years, and unfortunately, it worked. 0.90

00:28:55.000 But here's what the regime apparently forgot.

00:28:57.520 Donald Trump's red line has been public for months.

00:29:00.280 He has told his own aides he would consider restarting a full war if Iran kills American service members.

00:29:06.660 Nobody, thank God, died last night.

00:29:08.800 But as one analyst put it, that was not for a lack of effort on Tehran's part.

00:29:14.200 So why pull the trigger?

00:29:16.100 Three possibilities.

00:29:17.440 and they may all be true at once.

00:29:19.700 One, Iran wants to test whether Trump's red line is real. 0.60

00:29:24.620 Two, Iran wants to humiliate him,

00:29:27.360 forcing him to absorb an attack before signing this peace deal.

00:29:31.340 Or three, the hardliners in Tehran simply want the war to continue.

00:29:36.540 Whatever their motive, they have made a catastrophic miscalculation

00:29:39.860 about the man in the Oval Office.

00:29:42.780 President's words on True Social were unmistakable.

00:29:45.480 He confirmed the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters patrolling the strait.

00:29:52.840 He confirmed both pilots were safe and uninjured, and then came the sentence that should keep Tehran awake at night.

00:29:59.500 Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.

00:30:05.560 Must, of necessity, respond.

00:30:08.920 Fox News, reporting from the White House, suggests the president is inclined to order something big.

00:30:13.760 So what are the scenarios? Let's watch this closely. Potential scenario one, the calibrated

00:30:20.160 strike. America hits a high-value Iranian military target, the kind of precision punishment we saw 0.75

00:30:26.100 earlier this month on Qelm Island, sends the message and returns to the table. The deal 0.84

00:30:32.240 survives. The strait reopens. Peace through strength executed to perfection. Scenario two,

00:30:39.740 Escalation 0.99

00:30:41.100 Iran responds to the response 0.97

00:30:43.740 Missiles fly to American bases as they did in Kuwait 0.56

00:30:47.080 The April ceasefire already hanged by a thread

00:30:49.940 After the Israel-Iran exchange of yesterday

00:30:53.040 Collapses entirely 0.94

00:30:54.660 The war that has already shaken the global economy

00:30:57.400 Spiked energy prices

00:30:59.100 And driven up the cost of food on your table

00:31:01.480 Comes roaring back at full strength

00:31:03.620 And then there's Scenario 3

00:31:05.740 Unlikely

00:31:06.940 Tehran folds

00:31:08.100 The regime, staring down a blockade that is strangling its oil revenue, and a president who does not bluff, signs the deal.

00:31:16.540 The nuclear program ends. The state reopens immediately upon signing, as the president demands.

00:31:22.440 And this shoot-down becomes a mere footnote, the regime's last desperate act of defiance before capitulation.

00:31:29.900 Still believe the president holds the cards. The blockade is choking Tehran's treasury.

00:31:34.600 The deal is sitting on the table.

00:31:37.400 Iran can sign it or Iran can find out what American resolve actually looks like.

00:31:42.900 This is not an abstraction, my friends.

00:31:44.900 This is your gas prices, your grocery bill.

00:31:47.860 The 100-day war has already made the basics more expensive for every working family in America.

00:31:53.240 The fastest way to end it is not through weakness.

00:31:57.360 It's through strength.

00:31:58.780 It is a president willing to say what he means and do what he says.

00:32:02.460 Two American pilots came home safe last night, plucked from the sea by a robot boat that didn't exist as a rescue tool until America built it.

00:32:12.060 The question now is whether the regime in Tehran is smart enough to come to the table or arrogant enough to learn the hard way.

00:32:19.340 Stay tuned. This is far from over.

00:32:22.680 Now, I know Donald Trump. I've known him for 50 years.

00:32:26.580 He is not a man to cross.

00:32:28.400 He is anxious to end this war, but to do so on equitable terms.

00:32:32.460 but never underestimate his strength and his resolve.

00:32:37.140 We'll be following this story very closely.

00:32:39.980 Meanwhile, the high-tech firm Meta is making a major bet on American workers,

00:32:46.120 and this time it's not about another university pipeline or another diversity seminar.

00:32:52.220 It's about skilled trades.

00:32:54.040 On Monday, Meta announced America's Workforce Academy,

00:32:58.180 calling it the largest private sector commitment to the skilled trades

00:33:01.740 with a job guarantee in American history.

00:33:04.660 The program is set to launch in 2026 at pilot locations in Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, and Texas,

00:33:12.740 backed by an initial $115 million first-year investment.

00:33:17.440 The Academy will be free for participants who will be paid while they learn.

00:33:21.880 Graduates will earn nationally recognized credentials through the National Center for Construction Education and Research,

00:33:28.260 along with an American workforce certificate

00:33:30.800 designed to move them across employers and industries.

00:33:34.840 Reminds me when I was growing up,

00:33:36.500 my parents told me that I should be a plumber

00:33:38.260 or an electrician or a wallboard man.

00:33:42.480 Those guys made good money, my dad said.

00:33:45.320 Instead, I chose politics.

00:33:47.300 And I always confused my parents

00:33:48.840 until the day I introduced my father to Ronald Reagan

00:33:51.740 in Norwalk, Connecticut at a rally.

00:33:53.760 And then he understood why I had taken my life

00:33:56.800 in a different direction.

00:33:58.260 Here, more importantly, Metta says every graduate will be guaranteed a job.

00:34:02.920 This is the kind of workforce development that common sense Americans have long called for.

00:34:08.060 Practical training, no college debt, real credentials, and a direct path to gainful employment.

00:34:14.420 Mike Rowe, a longtime advocate for the trades, praised the program, saying workers will be paid to learn, face zero cost, earn fast certification, and have a guaranteed job waiting when they get out.

00:34:27.520 The announcement comes as Meta restructures around artificial intelligence after laying off about 10% of its global workforce and moving thousands of remaining employees into AI-related initiatives.

00:34:42.940 Now, AI may eliminate some white-collar jobs, but it will also require electricians, fiber installers, building and construction workers, and technicians.

00:34:52.580 So Meta's move makes business sense and should be sustainable.

00:34:57.520 Still, we should not just trust big tech. The only reason that Meta is making these moves is because President Trump and his MAGA agenda have pressured them to do so.

00:35:07.220 We must keep the pressure on and ensure that Meta and all the other tech giants fulfill their commitments to America.

00:35:13.400 Meanwhile, another liberal activist federal judge has stepped in to block President Trump's immigration agenda, this time striking down his $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions, a policy designed to protect American workers and stop corporations from using foreign labor as a cheap substitute.

00:35:34.940 U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin ruled on June 8th that the fee was unlawful, claiming it amounted to a tax that Congress had not authorized.

00:35:46.080 He also said the Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act by putting the policy in place without a public comment, period.

00:35:54.400 The result is another incomprehensible decision from the federal bench.

00:35:58.240 a judge acknowledging the president has broad authority to restrict the entry of non-citizens

00:36:02.960 while still blocking one of the tools Trump chooses to enforce that very authority.

00:36:08.900 President Trump's announced the fees as part of his effort to reform the H-1B system,

00:36:14.280 which has long been criticized as a pipeline for replacing American professionals with foreign workers

00:36:20.360 who work for cheaper and displace our native workforce.

00:36:24.920 The fee would have forced companies to think twice before reaching overseas instead of hiring qualified Americans here at home.

00:36:32.840 It's common sense, but Massachusetts and 19 other Democrat-led states sued, and now one judge has wiped out the policy nationwide.

00:36:42.880 Big tech firms and other chronic exploiters of the H-1B visas are no doubt very happy at this news, but this is becoming, sadly, a familiar pattern.

00:36:53.800 Voters elect Trump to secure the border, restore immigration sanity,

00:36:57.940 and put American workers first.

00:36:59.700 Then activist judges turn around, spit on the will of the people.

00:37:03.380 Well, this fight is not over.

00:37:05.060 Our appeal is currently pending, but the fact that we have to put on these demeaning

00:37:09.040 song and dance routines in front of these power-drunk, robed judges is an outrage.

00:37:14.820 Andrew Jackson would not have taken this.

00:37:16.900 In my opinion, neither should President Donald Trump.

00:37:20.660 Meanwhile, the Trump administration pledges to put ICE agents in the streets of New York City.

00:37:25.120 The Trump administration is preparing to send a major surge of ICE officers into New York City

00:37:30.260 after Governor Kathy Hochul signed a sweeping anti-ICE package that critics say protects illegal immigrants

00:37:36.960 and makes the city less safe.

00:37:39.940 Boarder czar Tom Homan told Fox and Friends on Monday,

00:37:43.340 the New Yorkers are about to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City.

00:37:48.900 Homan said he had just reviewed the operational plans and made clear the deployment is coming.

00:37:54.240 His message of common sense is simple.

00:37:56.800 If New York blocks safe immigration arrests around county jails, federal agents will have to go into neighborhoods instead.

00:38:03.620 This is the public safety point Democrats keep ignoring.

00:38:07.520 When ICE can work with sheriffs and arrest criminal illegal aliens inside secure facilities, one officer can make the arrests safely.

00:38:14.920 But when sanctuary politicians interfere, ICE has to send in entire teams into communities to find people who do not want to be found.

00:38:24.500 The governor calls it a protection from federal overreach, but in actuality, it is destroying public safety for the purposes of scoring partisan political points.

00:38:33.680 Homan has warned New York that this would happen. Now he says he's keeping that promise.

00:38:37.900 The Trump administration's position is clear. Illegal immigrants who break the law will not get special protection just because New York Democrats want a political fight with Washington.

00:38:48.180 The Trump administration will not blink and will not allow lawlessness to reign supreme in the Big Apple.

00:38:54.580 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:38:58.160 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:39:02.020 He likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level.

00:39:18.200 This is the Worldwide News Network Extra.

00:39:21.960 During these warmer summer months, as you're dealing with mosquitoes out there,

00:39:26.220 we've got some tips from medical professionals as to how to deal with bites.

00:39:30.940 Dr. Christopher Bozzoli, first of all, recommends using mosquito repellent.

00:39:35.440 with 20% DEET or bug repellent.

00:39:38.140 Mosquitoes are very light flyers, right?

00:39:41.120 And so any amount of turbulent air,

00:39:43.660 if that's a ceiling fan,

00:39:45.140 if that's a desk fan,

00:39:46.960 goes a long way.

00:39:48.600 And really, you need to get rid of

00:39:50.060 any standing water in your yard.

00:39:52.340 Mosquitoes need standing water, 0.99

00:39:54.120 still water to reproduce,

00:39:56.720 minimizing near where you live

00:39:58.880 or where you're going,

00:40:00.260 trying to minimize any standing water.

00:40:02.540 And if you get any bites,

00:40:03.700 apply anti-itch creams, or use ice.

00:40:07.060 Don't scratch those bites.

00:40:08.600 That can cause infection.

00:40:10.100 I'm James Flippen, and this is the World Wide News Network.

00:40:22.580 They called her the Empress of the Blues, and for good reason.

00:40:28.220 Bessie Smith possessed one of the most commanding voices ever recorded.

00:40:33.700 25 days in the sky, sun, dark as night.

00:40:38.580 Powerful, emotional, and utterly fearless.

00:40:41.720 Rising during the 1920s, she brought the pain, passion, humor, and hardships of black America directly into the nation's consciousness.

00:40:49.440 Her recordings sold in enormous numbers during an era when opportunities for black women were painfully limited.

00:40:55.480 Yet her influence reached far beyond blues music, shaping jazz, soul, and rock. 0.99

00:41:01.420 I need a little hot dog on my road.

00:41:07.580 Bessie Smith's voice still sounds timeless, bold, bruised, and unforgettable.

00:41:55.640 Welcome back into the Stone Zone, a Republican-led House Oversight Committee report is exposing Minnesota Democrats for allowing one of the largest welfare fraud scandals in American history out of cowardly fear of being seen as racist.

00:42:12.960 The report says fraud concerns in Minnesota's social service programs reached senior officials in Governor Tim Walsh's office, as well as that of Attorney General Keith Ellison, as early as 2019 and 2020.

00:42:26.680 But instead of aggressive action to enforce the law, the committee says state leaders delayed, avoided, or softened their response while taxpayer money kept flowing and the American people continued to be built.

00:42:38.140 At the center of the report is the Feeding Our Future scandal, where more than 110 people have been charged so far, and over 60 have been convicted or pleaded guilty in a scheme that siphoned off money meant to feed children.

00:42:53.020 According to the committee, officials had authorities to spend questionable payments, but they failed to act decisively at all.

00:43:00.380 The report found that fears of being accused of racism played the major role.

00:43:04.660 One Minnesota Education official reporter said she had been warned not to do anything that could be seen as targeting diverse communities, even while fraud concerns were mounting.

00:43:15.300 Somalis had been deified by liberals who kept letting them into their communities, alleviating their original sin of white guilt. 0.98

00:43:22.980 Instead, they were invited parasites to eat them from within. 0.79

00:43:26.480 The report also says Ellison, a radical Muslim himself, who's an open supporter of Antifa, domestic terrorism, met with individuals tied to the Feeding Our Future in 2021, and the campaign donations later came from affiliates to him, now connected to these very criminal proceedings.

00:43:45.480 proceedings. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called it a stunning failure, saying

00:43:52.620 that the Walsh administration failed the taxpayers. Democrats got high on their own supply. They said

00:43:59.680 that multiculturalism was the future and that diversity was our strength. But now we're seeing

00:44:06.540 the fruits of this new system, and they are foul indeed. It's time to send the illegal foreigners 1.00

00:44:12.080 back to where they belong, either out of the country or to jail, and put their crooked enterprises 1.00

00:44:17.460 out of commission. Meanwhile, we spoke yesterday extensively about the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:44:24.180 They are, yet again today, under fire on Capitol Hill after their interim CEO, Brian Fair, refused

00:44:30.900 to back down from the group's decision to label Turning Point USA as a hate group. During a House

00:44:37.740 Judiciary Committee hearing, Republican

00:44:39.740 Congressman Daryl Issa pressed

00:44:41.860 Mr. Fair directly asking whether

00:44:43.680 the Southern Poverty Law Center

00:44:45.600 would recant its attacks on figures like

00:44:47.660 Dr. Alveda King

00:44:49.360 and the late Charlie Kirk.

00:44:52.040 Fair would not give a yes.

00:44:53.600 Instead, he said the Southern Poverty Law

00:44:55.680 Center would continue to expose

00:44:57.220 hate and extremism, even though we now

00:44:59.780 know they were subsidizing

00:45:01.700 organizations like the Ku Klux

00:45:03.960 Klan and other white extremist

00:45:06.060 groups. You see, if there is no right extremism, then there's no ability for them to raise money

00:45:11.240 to fight right-wing extremism. So they created white-wing extremism by funding informants and

00:45:18.420 funding extremist organizations. This is what is known as a scam. Turning Point USA was added to

00:45:26.400 the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map in 2025 with the organization accusing TPSO-UASA,

00:45:33.720 That's Charlie Kirk's group of promoting fear and defending what it called white-dominated male supremacist Christian order.
