Roger Stone joins Ken Matthews in The Stone Zone to talk about the auto-pen scandal, the election of a millennial mayor, and much, much more. Plus, a look at why you should be thankful you don t have to live in New York City.
00:01:35.120We've got, well, let's talk about one of the big stories.
00:01:39.960There's a couple big stories I want to talk about.
00:01:41.920One is this whole auto-pen scandal that nobody's talking about because Trump has been busy making it clear that no one's going to mess with the strongest military in the world.
00:01:57.680And it's amazing to me, so often we hear about, you hear the Democrats, you hear the left saying, you know, we're the adults in the room.
00:02:09.040And when you think about it and you look at President Donald Trump historically, he is the adult in the room.
00:02:15.540Now, hear me out, for people who just drove off the road, if there's even room in the traffic to do that, he really is the adult in the room.
00:02:29.200But when President Donald Trump needs to focus like a laser and be a real commander-in-chief and say, hey, guys, I think the poop is about to hit the fan.
00:03:05.740And when he said, give me a couple weeks to think this through.
00:03:08.880And then he blew up nuclear plants without hurting civilians, without bombing hospitals or aspirin factories or schools and without injuring one American soldier.
00:15:30.300I love history as many people in this audience do because Roger Stone has lived through incredible history and he's taken part of it and taken part in it.
00:15:43.280And I would go as far as to say that Mr. Stone has changed history, having read some of his books, and I follow him fairly regularly for years, even before I could even imagine guest hosting on 77 WABC.
00:15:58.080Anyway, back in 1947, that setup was way too long, but I'm coming back to the point of this bombing that took place that was so surgical.
00:16:10.560And I have to admit it, it has been a while since I looked toward Washington and felt this proud because it was very difficult to feel proud when Joe Biden was feeling children.
00:16:30.8201947, General Mills kicks cereal brand.
00:16:35.040Some of you, some of you remember that.
00:16:36.920They offered an atomic bomb ring, yes, for only 15 cents, and you turned into, you know, the cereal box top, and it was also known as the Lone Ranger atomic bomb ring.
00:16:52.580It was a reflection of, at the time, the public's preoccupation with atomic energy, the power, the potential of it.
00:17:00.740Remember, everything was rockets, and then, gosh, once you got into the 50s and the 60s, it was rocket palooza, remember?
00:17:08.680The ring had an adjustable gold-colored band with lightning blast explosions on the sides, and it basically had a missile on the top of the ring.
00:17:19.900Could you imagine, when school starts, it's only two months away now, by the way, it's going to be great to get those kids back into indoctrination again, but can you imagine having a ring at school?
00:17:33.080It looks like a bullet, an aluminum warhead mounted on top and contained a removable red plastic tail fin.
00:17:42.120So, it was a guided missile, and the tail fin was hollow, so you had a hidden compartment for tiny secret messages.
00:17:51.700I mean, this is the perfect gift if you want to frighten a teacher or commit espionage.
00:17:59.120You remove, removing the red base gave access to a little, this is the quote on the box,
00:18:05.300It's a hidden atomic chamber in the warhead.
00:18:16.180Maybe we should just start giving those out, just to remind people that President Donald J. Trump is serious, and he loves the military, and he loves America.
00:18:26.980And he's probably one of the first presidents in, what, 30 or 40 years, that said, here's what I'm going to do, and then he did it.
00:18:36.120We'll be back in the Stone Zone on 77 WABC.
00:19:20.720And I wanted to say, though, the woman that was complaining about the city not being safe for women, most of them voted for the leftist Democrats.
00:19:29.520So for them to then complain when you have just nominated someone that wanted to defund the police.
00:19:36.940And also, if a lot of the men happen to be of Middle Eastern Muslims, you can't point that out.
00:19:44.460So I just thought it was ironic that's what they voted for.
00:19:47.460And I just want to ask you, with the reports that the bombs didn't damage the nuclear facilities for years, coming from the fake news, it's hard to believe your thoughts on it.
00:19:57.840But I just want to say quick examples of fake news.
00:20:33.220But that's another reason I get a kick out of a lot of people in the news media that talk about things that they haven't experienced firsthand.
00:21:43.900So unfortunately, I headed into this entire scenario like millions and millions of Americans and people around the world, and I was watching it and listening to it, and I had all my different screens on in the studios.
00:21:57.620It looked like mission control, and I was just punching around, and I was thinking, are they lying or are they lying?
00:22:19.640If Trump could fail, if he could embarrass himself or say something silly, I, first of all, I love it when they poke fun at Trump because it bounces right off of him and he comes back with a better name.
00:22:33.020Like when he called Anderson Cooper, Allison Cooper, or ABC's John Carl, Johnny Carl.
00:22:41.760And it's amazing when Trump needs a thick skin, that's when I think, and I mentioned this at the top of the show, that's when I think he's an adult in the room.
00:22:52.360I think he likes, I think he likes to laugh.
00:22:57.800And one thing I think you cannot take away from President Trump, and I hope I somewhat answered your question, Andrew, and that was basically the majority of the news is fake.
00:23:13.620And having been in it for many, many, many years in media, I've seen firsthand that one script will start at the top of the day at a central location, maybe the Pentagon briefing room, or maybe a presidential spokesperson or Department of Defense secretary, and it will just get repeated and recycled forever, depending on what your views are.
00:23:39.300There's very few people left in the news media that will actually question anything, because that means they have to stay late and do more research.
00:23:50.680So I was trying to do the best research I can with the limited resources I have.
00:24:20.500And I do believe Trump, when the rubber needs to hit the road, I do believe he's still the right guy for the job.
00:24:28.360Now, I don't always agree with him, and I have a podcast I do, and sometimes if I criticize Trump too hard, people will, you know, they'll come at you, because I'm a MAGA person, too.
00:24:39.340But some of the MAGA people are, whoo, and I totally get it, because Joe Biden, people like Joe Biden and Barack Obama were so rude.
00:24:51.620I mean, there's so many levels of things they did, but they were just genuinely rude to people that didn't buy into their stories.
00:25:40.300So one thing that's refreshing now, and I think we're seeing this trend at least the first six months, and we saw it under President Trump.
00:26:37.020They're used to, you know, General Milley calling up and telling them what to say.
00:26:42.780Or, you know, they're used to James Comey calling up and trashing President Trump.
00:26:50.560I don't think the media is used to rolling up their sleeves and investigating.
00:26:54.880I don't think the media has completely told us the truth, which we really need as a population now more than ever in years and years and years.
00:27:05.900I mean, the last time I was excited about a journalist showing up somewhere, it was Mike Wallace.
00:28:31.740It's the same way we're wondering about how long is it going to take the January 6th truth to come out, and how long is it going to take this?
00:28:38.980That's why I mentioned this auto-pen thing.
00:28:42.160You know, there was a woman that she testified today.
00:28:46.160I think she's the director of domestic policy or on some policy council, okay?
00:28:55.200Hours and hours and five hours she testified, and I saw it on one major network.
00:29:02.620Now, I know Fox and Newsmax had it, but the rest of, you know, the rest of the characters from New York or Washington, D.C. or around the country, they couldn't care less.
00:29:15.600And she basically said that there is this tool that she and others could use to sign memos, documents, and pardons on behalf of the president.
00:30:22.520When you look at the Watergate scandal and the way they crucified Nixon and the way that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and many others have walked away from everything, from destroying evidence to bombing the wrong thing to embezzling money.
00:30:41.700And then you look at this Autopend thing.
00:30:44.120It just drives home the point that millions of us, through our own observation, we knew something was not right with Joe Biden.
00:31:14.160You know, that's why this country gives more to charity than any other country.
00:31:18.760The churches in this country give more to this country than any other country.
00:31:25.300And there's a reason for that, because there's something unique about the American dynamic and the American belief and ideology that, well, you know, let's just, I mean, do we really need to go after Biden?
00:31:40.320Now, I mean, look at, he's an old drooling man.
00:31:58.780I'm just saying in this country, you're going to, if you are a small business person and you screwed up a $400 receipt, you are going to see more time than Hunter Biden for anything he did.
00:32:17.460And let me, let me just wrap up quickly with AI.
00:32:20.960I'm not a big fan of AI, artificial intelligence.
00:32:23.940And a study just came out and the timing is perfect for this study because now the auto pen stuff is coming out.
00:32:30.440And some of the AI capabilities that our government uses is now being exposed, are being exposed.
00:32:37.400Did you know that the leading AI models from some of the following companies, OpenAI, Google, Meta, XAI, and other developers, the leading AI models.
00:32:51.460And I know it's, it's very, I can barely understand this either, but basically it's a brain that does the thinking for you or like you, right?
00:33:00.380In AI lab said they texted, they tested 16 major AI models and every single model turned to unethical means when their goals or existence were under threat.
00:33:16.020So they said the leading models would normally refuse harmful requests.
00:33:22.700They sometimes chose to blackmail users, assist with corporate espionage.
00:33:28.760Some AI models even took extreme actions.
00:33:33.240If their goals could not be met, the AI got angry.
00:34:45.380The numbers are getting all out of whack.
00:34:48.000And I think that's really confusing the news and, you know, the news media and academia.
00:34:55.260And I want to go back to the military for a minute.
00:34:57.800And my love and respect for the military.
00:34:59.760Because although I wasn't in it, many members of my family have been in it over the years.
00:35:05.480And been in different campaigns and theaters of operation around the world.
00:35:11.040But I get such, especially now, that I'm dealing with, I'm going to do a social security feature here in a second.
00:35:20.400And I was reading it and I was thinking, you know, I couldn't care less about this when I was 30.
00:35:25.140But now that I'm in my 60s, are you kidding me?
00:35:28.400But now that I'm twice, maybe three times the age, maybe you feel this when you see a young police officer or a young military officer, a young man or woman doing a great job.
00:35:39.400And it's just, it makes you feel proud.
00:35:42.980And I was looking at the recruitment numbers.
00:35:45.540And for the first time, the United States military's recruitment is up across the board.
00:35:51.420And they've already started filling their slots from a year ago.
00:35:55.360They've had to say, oh, we're all filled up.
00:35:57.740You're going to have to wait a few months.
00:35:59.680When a year ago under, what's his, Corn Pop, that's his name, Corn Pop, Corn Pop-a-do.
00:36:07.020Joe Biden, remember, people were fleeing out of the military after he kicked a bunch out over the scam-demic.
00:36:39.220And then this is a really cool number we found.
00:36:42.760The U.S. could lose more immigrants than it gains for the first time in 50 years.
00:36:49.600Did you think two years ago you'd be hearing that?
00:36:53.860You know, two years ago when 2,700 illegal foreign nationals a week were rolling into our country and then they were being bussed around the country with free phones and free accommodations.
00:37:08.300Right here, you know, in New York and Chicago and Milwaukee, Atlanta, Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:37:16.440And there's a small town north of Massachusetts.
00:37:19.700I have a neighbor up there and he said there's still illegal foreign nationals that are living in a hotel waiting to be deported.
00:38:09.640It's the same age, the same number, 33, as the potential Muslim communist millennial mayor could be in New York.
00:38:21.46077% of those benefits will be payable, according to the report.
00:38:25.120The report just came out and said by 2034, according to the report, there may not be enough revenue for everybody that needs Social Security.
00:38:35.220So what I would do tomorrow, call your representative and say, what's happening?
00:38:42.880Or don't call Al Gore because he's in a lockbox right now.
