00:00:46.340 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:00:52.380 Welcome to the Stone Zone.

00:00:57.900 Well, there are occasions in American public life

00:01:00.840 when symbolism speaks with even greater eloquence

00:01:03.860 than even the most carefully crafted speech.

00:01:07.080 Today, as President Donald Trump traveled to North Dakota

00:01:10.560 to commemorate the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt's

00:01:13.920 legendary charge up San Juan Hill

00:01:16.520 and participate in the dedication of the

00:01:20.220 Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, today was such a day. It was a tableau that seemed to

00:01:27.820 collapse more than a century of American history into a single unforgettable moment. The site was

00:01:33.220 really magnificent. President Trump actually interacted with an AI-generated Theodore

00:01:39.880 Roosevelt asking him questions about his presidency, including whether the Panama Canal

00:01:45.860 construction was among his greatest accomplishments. It was not merely a tribute to one of America's

00:01:52.200 greatest presidents. It was a visual reminder that the virtues which built this republic are

00:01:57.800 timeless. Courage, independence, fortitude, patriotism, self-reliance, and an unshakable

00:02:05.680 confidence in the greatness of the American experiment. Those are the qualities that embodied

00:02:11.360 Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in 1898, and they remain the very qualities that President

00:02:17.700 Trump has sought to rekindle throughout his own public life. History often communicates through

00:02:23.620 symbols. Ancient civilizations certainly understood that truth. So did America's founders. A single

00:02:29.460 image can encapsulate an entire philosophy more effectively than volumes of rhetoric or prepared

00:02:35.220 speech. It represents the passing of a torch from one generation of American leaders to another.

00:02:40.640 It suggests that the spirit which carried Roosevelt up the slopes of San Juan Hill continues to ride beside leaders willing to place love of country above personal comfort.

00:02:52.820 Theodore Roosevelt, of course, one of the most interesting presidents.

00:02:56.120 He was the governor of New York, where he refused to let the Republican Party bosses partake in corruption at the New York City Harbor.

00:03:06.540 So the Republican Party bosses, called the Stalwarts, decided the way to get rid of Roosevelt was to put him on the ticket for vice president with William McKinley. 0.99

00:03:17.280 One of the Republican bosses famously said, well, we're rid of that damn cowboy. 0.97

00:03:21.540 Little did they know that McKinley would be assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt would go on to be one of our greatest presidents. 0.99

00:03:28.940 Now, Roosevelt has occupied a singular place in American history because he refused to separate leadership from personal circumstance.

00:03:37.380 As assistant secretary of the Navy, he abandoned a prestigious office in Washington to volunteer for military service.

00:03:44.180 He organized the first United States voluntary cavalry, and he personally led his men into combat under withering enemy fire.

00:03:51.020 Roosevelt believed that a leader earns the confidence of his countrymen not through eloquent promises but through a visible act of courage.

00:03:59.520 That conviction has always resonated deeply with the American people.

00:04:04.200 The Rush Riders themselves became one of the most extraordinary military formations in our nation's history.

00:04:10.680 They were not professional soldiers assembled through bureaucracy.

00:04:13.900 They were all volunteers drawn from every corner of America.

00:04:16.860 Cowboys from the western frontier stood shoulder to shoulder with Ivy League polo players and athletes.

00:04:23.380 Ranchers marched beside Native Americans, miners, hunters, sheriffs, businessmen, and adventurers.

00:04:31.600 They represented the best of an America that believed that character mattered more than pedigree and that patriotism erased social distinctions.

00:04:40.480 The spirit remains one of the defining characteristics of the American Republic.

00:04:44.400 The greatness of this nation has never rested upon government institutions alone.

00:04:49.740 It has rested upon ordinary citizens who answer extraordinary calls.

00:04:54.340 So President Trump's journey to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library today carries significance well beyond the dedication of another presidential monument.

00:05:03.940 Theodore Roosevelt transformed the rugged badlands of North Dakota into part of the mythology of American leadership.

00:05:10.780 He often declared that his years in the Dakota Territory shaped his character more profoundly than any other experience in his life.

00:05:19.220 The harsh landscape stripped away any comfort and demanded absolute resilience.

00:05:24.340 Roosevelt emerged stronger because the frontier required strength rather than excuses.

00:05:29.200 That lesson seems especially relevant today.

00:05:32.100 North Dakota, of course, represents an America that still values hard work over fashionable ideology,

00:05:37.960 production over bureaucracy, faith over cynicism, and self-reliance over dependency.

00:05:43.160 It is fitting that a president whose political movement has emphasized restoring American manufacturing,

00:05:49.240 energy independence, secure borders, and national confidence would celebrate the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt

00:05:55.200 in the very landscape that forged Roosevelt's own indomitable character.

00:06:00.600 At the same time, it seemed to me that Theodore Roosevelt, who served in the New York Estate Assembly,

00:06:06.280 who served as the New York State Assembly Minority Leader, who served as Governor of New York,

00:06:12.440 and who served as the New York City Police Commissioner, should have his presidential library in New York.

00:06:19.280 But I'm going to have to travel to North Dakota because I want to go to the Theodore Roosevelt Library,

00:06:25.300 just as President Trump did today.

00:06:28.380 In the meantime, we have an important development regarding yesterday's incomprehensible Supreme Court ruling that reaffirmed birthright citizenship, that is, ruling that babies born on U.S. soil to parents who are not U.S. citizens are automatically granted U.S. citizenship.

00:06:50.640 I think this is a wrong-headed decision by the Supreme Court.

00:06:55.440 So did the folks over at the Oversight Project.

00:06:57.800 They released what they call a Keeping Families Together plan. 0.52

00:07:01.640 It's an immigration enforcement strategy aimed at deporting illegal immigrant family units together. 0.89

00:07:07.440 That would include pregnant illegal immigrant women and parents of children born on U.S. soil.

00:07:14.000 The group argues that the court's decision does not grant amnesty to illegal immigrants

00:07:18.520 simply because they have a child in America.

00:07:21.000 Instead, it says that ICE should prioritize the removal of parents of so-called anchor babies

00:07:27.160 and allow families to remain together in their home countries.

00:07:31.460 The plan calls for ICE enforcement near hospitals, birth tourism centers, work sites,

00:07:37.440 and communities with large illegal immigrant population. 0.96

00:07:40.180 The goal, according to the group, is to shift away from the only targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens 0.96

00:07:47.140 and return to the basic principle that all illegal entry should carry consequences without exception. 0.95

00:07:53.780 The Oversight Project also proposes tax policy to discourage births by illegal immigrants

00:08:00.040 and suspending visas for countries tied to birth tourism.

00:08:04.380 Mike Howell, who's appeared here in the Stone Zone several times,

00:08:08.480 president of the Oversight Project, said America is more than a pile of magic dirt

00:08:13.680 and argued that citizenship should mean more than just crossing the border illegal and having a baby on American soil.

00:08:21.100 This message may come off as harsh to some Americans who fail to see the demographic apocalypse that is looming.

00:08:28.360 But if the illegal invasion continues, we will lose our nation and eventually our entire civilization.

00:08:34.520 We frankly simply cannot allow that to happen. 0.99

00:08:37.240 The Oversight Project's proposal to humanely deport pregnant illegal aliens is a wise and clever one, and I support it. 0.97

00:08:46.020 Meanwhile, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is moving to finally close the book on Washington's COVID emergency era. 0.93

00:08:54.800 RFK Jr., known as Bobby Kennedy, good friend of mine, is helping end the emergency declarations that gave special protections to manufacturers of COVID vaccinations,

00:09:04.920 treatments, and medical devices after determining that the conditions used to justify those

00:09:10.980 extraordinary powers simply no longer exist. Those declarations began in early 2020 and they

00:09:18.200 allowed federal regulators to authorize COVID products under emergency standards rather than

00:09:24.360 the normal approval process. They also, more importantly, granted broad immunity to drug

00:09:30.640 makers and others involved in the administering of the products. The Biden administration extended

00:09:35.760 those protections multiple times, most recently through 2024, when then health secretary Xavier

00:09:42.980 Becerra, now the front runner in the race for mayor of Los Angeles, pushed them all the way

00:09:48.380 through to the end of 2029, even though the official COVID policy health emergency had ended

00:09:54.880 in May of 2023. So RFK Jr. is now reversing course, saying emergency powers must be temporary,

00:10:02.980 targeted, and accountable. In his words, Americans deserve a regulatory system rooted in the rule

00:10:09.860 of law. The vaccine and drug declarations will end by June 29th of 2027, giving companies 12

00:10:17.340 months to transition products through their regular approval process. Emergency protections

00:10:23.280 for medical devices, including COVID tests, will end sooner, as soon as December 26, 2026.

00:10:30.740 The FDA says manufacturers have time to submit the necessary data for standard review.

00:10:37.040 This, in my opinion, marks a long overdue step towards restoring constitutional government,

00:10:43.240 ending permanent crisis rule, and reminding federal agencies that emerging authority

00:10:48.600 is not a blank chip to be used to profiteer billions.

00:10:53.360 RFK Jr. is doing a tremendous job changing the rules back to restore health freedom in this country.

00:10:59.520 But frankly, that's not enough.

00:11:01.160 The individuals responsible for the COVID lockdown policies, namely the American Dr. Mengele, Anthony Fauci, should be charged with crimes against humanity and punished harshly for the heinous acts they perpetrated on the American people.

00:11:16.100 And, in my opinion, until that happens, it will be inevitable that we experience a lockdown style of tyranny once again in our near future.

00:11:26.100 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's final financial disclosure shows how, as a businessman, he knows how to create value in the marketplace.

00:11:34.580 According to the filing, Trump's business brought in at least $2.2 billion in 2025.

00:11:39.680 A large share came from his investment in cryptocurrency ventures tied to the Trump family, including World Liberty Financial and Trump coin.

00:11:49.400 Critics are already trying to frame the numbers as controversy, claiming without any evidence that President Trump's crypto holdings are not on the level.

00:11:57.600 These people don't seem to understand how the cryptocurrency revolution works and how it is ushering in a new era of digital finance.

00:12:05.580 Crypto is no longer some fringe experiment.

00:12:08.480 It's becoming a major engine of investment, entrepreneurship, and financial opportunity,

00:12:14.220 and within a much more honest framework than the Federal Reserve's paper money Ponzi scheme.

00:12:20.720 President Trump once questioned the industry in its early stages,

00:12:23.480 but like any smart businessman, he's recognized where the market was headed and moved there decisively.

00:12:29.680 He's now reaping the rewards of his foresight.

00:12:31.740 The Trump family's crypto ventures reportedly generated $1.4 billion, while his real estate, golf, licensing, and media holdings also continue to produce major revenue.

00:12:43.860 Mar-a-Lago and the Trump national draw remain strong, plus Trump media continues to represent a major part of his net worth.

00:12:51.420 President Trump says he does not manage the money day to day, and he credits broader market strength,

00:12:57.060 caused in large by due to his America First Economic Agenda for helping to lift his personal fortunes.

00:13:03.400 This is a president who was threatened with bankruptcy by the lawfare against him just a year and a half ago.

00:13:10.060 Under President Donald Trump, America is once again rewarding builders, investors, risk takers and innovators.

00:13:17.400 From real estate to social media to cryptocurrency, President Trump has proven the future belongs to those who create and invest,

00:13:24.520 not to bureaucrats who regulate prosperity into the dirt.

00:13:30.200 Democrats sweeping the New York City and New York State primaries are not alone.

00:13:35.740 When we come back, we'll talk about the fact that another far-left socialist has won in Colorado,

00:13:41.900 proving that the end of the old moderate Democrat Party of JFK and Harry Truman is not limited to New York State,

00:13:50.040 and that radical socialists are taking over the Democrat Party across the country.

00:13:55.620 You're listening to The Stone Zone.

00:14:25.120 Every two minutes, a child enters foster care, often with only a small bag of belongings.

00:14:30.000 More than 400,000 children face trauma and uncertainty, many before age eight.

00:14:34.640 This May, during Foster Care Awareness Month, Toys for Tots is creating room for joy.

00:14:39.640 In 2025, nearly 375,000 children receive comfort through toys, books, and essentials, reminding them they are not alone.

00:15:08.100 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:15:11.920 Roger Stone, who is a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:15:15.560 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:15:16.900 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:15:20.160 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:15:26.040 And we're back in the Stone Zone, proving that the socialist surge inside the Democrat Party is not just limited to New York State.

00:15:35.960 It is clear the socialists just play in the scalp of another long-term incumbent.

00:15:40.480 29-year-old Democrat Socialist Milat Kiros defeated 15-term Democrat Congresswoman Diana DeGette in Colorado's first congressional district primary on Tuesday, making yet another major victory for the far-left insurgency that is spreading well beyond New York across the rest of the country.

00:16:01.820 This, of course, succeeds the election of a socialist Democrat in the recent primary for the mayor of the District of Columbia.

00:16:08.900 In this case, Kuros is a first-time candidate, a Democrat Socialist of America member, and a self-described lawyer, Ph.D. student, and barista.

00:16:19.680 She defeated DeGette, who has held that seat since the mid-1990s, despite DeGette's own progressive credentials.

00:16:26.600 But in today's Democrat Party, apparently, even being progressive is not enough.

00:16:33.220 In this particular case, Taget was pro-abortion, pro-Medicaid for all, and was an opponent to President Trump's border policies.

00:16:42.240 But none of that matters. She was swept to ignominious defeat because she was not considered progressive enough.

00:16:50.080 Kyrgios backed abolishing ICE, creating an intermediate pathway for every illegal immigrant, expanding transgender policies and paying for them with taxpayer dollars, 0.70

00:17:00.500 codifying abortion into federal law

00:17:02.840 and using congressional votes as leverage

00:17:05.360 against the Democrat leadership.

00:17:07.820 She has also blamed capitalism

00:17:09.380 for damaging the economy, democracy, and the climate.

00:17:13.180 Can you imagine?

00:17:14.320 Her past comments on 9-11 have also drawn criticism.

00:17:17.920 Kieros described the attacks as inevitable,

00:17:21.040 arguing that U.S. actions in the Middle East

00:17:23.620 push people towards violence.

00:17:25.700 Republican leaders say her victory proves

00:17:27.420 the Democrat Party is being overtaken by Marxists

00:17:30.300 and socialists, and the leftists will not accept anything but total fealty to their destructive

00:17:35.620 goals. House Speaker Mike Johnson warned that many Mamdami candidates are emerging nationwide, 0.69

00:17:42.440 while Majority Leader Steve Scalise said the Democrats have officially become the party

00:17:47.500 of socialism. This is no longer the old Democrat party, which was, you know, still a fundamental

00:17:54.820 believable in God, capitalism, a strong national defense, free enterprise, anti-communist in its

00:18:04.180 nature. John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, ardent hardline anti-communist, no longer would be home

00:18:10.720 in today's Democrat Party. The radical left is dominating primaries, purging establishment

00:18:15.980 liberals from the party fold and dragging the party further towards open borders, anti-capitalism

00:18:21.720 and socialist control.

00:18:23.960 Midterm elections may be the most important

00:18:25.920 in our nation's history

00:18:26.940 when faced with this existential threat

00:18:29.120 to our freedoms.

00:18:30.280 But to me, speaking as a Republican,

00:18:32.800 I think this is a positive development.

00:18:35.320 It fleshes out exactly

00:18:36.840 who the Democrat Party is.

00:18:38.940 It is no longer the party of John F. Kennedy,

00:18:41.540 Robert F. Kennedy, or Harry Truman.

00:18:43.580 Now it is the party of Bernie Sanders,

00:18:46.080 AOC, Ilhan Omar,

00:18:48.640 Talia Rashid, and the rest.

00:18:50.360 And that is a contest that I look forward to.

00:20:10.540 Here's Roger Stone.

00:20:12.120 And we're back in the Stone Zone. I'm Roger Stone.

00:20:17.840 Well, failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris appears to be looking left as she weighs her political future.

00:20:25.960 According to Axios, the former vice president recently spoke with New York Mayor Zoran Mandami after a wave of wins by candidates aligned with the Democrat Socialists of America.

00:20:38.720 Mamdami-backed candidates, won multiple Democrat House primaries in New York, while the DSA candidate, Malak Kiros, defeated a longtime Democrat incumbent in Colorado, as I said moments ago.

00:20:52.180 Socialists' wing of the Democrat Party has emerged from the fringes into the mainstream of the party fold, and Harris is taking notice.

00:21:00.040 Socialists are winning primaries, taking out establishment Democrats,

00:21:03.740 and Harris undoubtedly would like to co-opt that sentiment to help boost her ambitions.

00:21:09.760 Some who have even spoke openly about a Harris-Mamdami ticket may not recognize that Mamdami,

00:21:16.180 having been born in Uganda, is not technically legal because the Constitution says one must be native-born to be president or vice president.

00:21:26.780 Heading into the next presidential cycle, the socialist wing of the Democrat Party will have considerable sway.

00:21:32.960 Harris has already struggled in 2024 to answer questions about Israel, Gaza,

00:21:37.540 and the growing anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Semitism inside her own party.

00:21:43.540 Now, with far-left activists making opposition to Israel a limit litmus test,

00:21:49.500 Harris appears to be ready to pivot.

00:21:51.160 It wouldn't be the first time she once went from being a tough-on-crime attorney general to an advocate of defunding the police when she felt it would help her gain power.

00:22:01.540 Harris has also reportedly met in Detroit with Abbas Alawek, co-founder of the Uncommitted Movement, which criticized her last year for refusing to more forcefully condemn Israel.

00:22:14.000 Alawek is now running for Michigan State Senate.

00:22:16.740 This shows the Democrats are moving away from working families, public safety, and American strength, and towards socialism, as well as anti-Israel politics, and the false promises of government-run health care, child care, and housing.

00:22:33.100 Kamala Harris may think courting the far left is smart politics, but also exposes the radical direction of today's Democrat Party and how all Democrats are essentially being held hostage to this radical anti-American agenda.

00:22:48.560 I've said it before and I say it again, if I were Chuck Schumer, I'd be very nervous because if AOC or perhaps a lesser known candidate supported by the Miami Combine challenges him in the next upcoming U.S. Senate Democrat primary, well, I think Chuck is toast.

00:23:07.240 You heard it here first, In the Stone Zone.

00:23:10.680 A group of House conservatives bringing Washington business to a halt in a showdown over election integrity.

00:23:17.220 Fourteen Republican lawmakers joined Democrats Tuesday to block a procedural rule that would have reopened legislative work on the House floor.

00:23:26.300 Their demand is simple.

00:23:28.320 The Senate must stop stalling and pass the Save America Act, President Trump's top election integrity priority.

00:23:35.100 This is the bill that requires that one be a U.S. citizen in order to vote in an American election and that one have a photo ID.

00:23:45.000 Why people find this to be controversial, I'm having a hard time understanding.

00:23:49.760 Legislation obviously has passed in the House three times, but the Senate remains a roadblock where Republicans do have 50 votes, but they don't have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

00:24:02.240 The standoff is now delaying major legislation, including the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes, of course, the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is so very important to the deep state.

00:24:19.760 The other spending bills also held up as all makers approach a July 4th recess.

00:24:27.700 Reuters reported that the House had joined early after hardline conservatives pushed to a tax the voter ID measure to the defense bill.

00:24:36.760 Speaker Mike Johnson says he's working to unite the conference and move the Republican agenda forward.

00:24:42.220 But my good friend, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna, one of the leading voices in the fight, says this is how Washington sausage gets made.

00:24:52.100 Playing hardball will make it more likely for the important legislation to be passed.

00:24:55.820 President Trump has similarly refused to sign any bipartisan housing legislation until the Save America Act is passed.

00:25:04.680 The frustration is beginning to boil over. You can see that.

00:25:07.820 Republicans campaign on secure borders and secure elections.

00:25:11.600 Then they vote to sustain the status quo after they arrive in Washington, D.C.

00:25:16.680 Voters are sick of it. That's why the strongest MAGA conservatives in the House are finally saying enough is enough.

00:25:24.180 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump met Tuesday with my good friend, former Colorado elections clerk, Tina Peters,

00:25:31.860 following her release from the state prison early this year.

00:25:35.840 Peters had become a martyr for election integrity patriots across the country

00:25:40.600 who watched the votes deal take place in real time in 2020 and then saw those who fought back get punished. 0.99

00:25:47.220 For the past two years, Free Tina has been a rallying cry across the MAGA grassroots as she rotted in prison for having the guts to investigate vote counting computers in her jurisdictions and keeping records of the fraud. 0.98

00:26:03.320 That is precisely why she was charged and convicted on trumped up crimes.

00:26:08.220 President Trump said Peters came to the White House to thank him after he successfully lobbied Colorado Governor Jared Polis to commute her sentence, which, thank God, despite the fact that she was in poor health, he finally did.

00:26:22.480 Peters had been sentenced in 2024 to nearly nine years in prison after being convicted on several counts tied to her handling of the Mesa County election equipment.

00:26:33.740 The case, as I say, centered on her decision to allow access to voting machines in 2021 amidst widespread concerns over election integrity and machine security.

00:26:44.460 This was a textbook example of the two-tiered justice system that protects the fraudsters while punishing those with the courage to push back.

00:26:52.620 President Trump blasted the prosecution, saying that Peters was in prison because she exposed election problems, while the people responsible for election fraud were never held accountable.

00:27:04.360 He also said she endured harsh conditions behind bars and should never have been treated like a violent criminal.

00:27:11.580 President Trump again warned that voting machines, mail-in ballots, and weak election systems continue to remain a serious threat to public confidence in our elections.

00:27:20.840 The Tina Peters case is more about than one county clerk.

00:27:25.140 It's about standing for elected officials with the courage to do the right thing under duress.

00:27:30.740 We must remember that Tina Peters is among the greatest patriots of our era and live up to her example as we fight back against deep state oppression and for right in this country to its limits.

00:27:45.040 Meanwhile, Republicans have good reason to feel optimistic about holding the United States Senate.

00:27:49.740 I completely disagree with my nemesis, Steve Bannon, who said the opposite only yesterday, but no one should mistake optimism for permission to coast.

00:28:00.200 Right now, Republicans hold 53 Senate seats while Democrats hold 47.

00:28:05.980 That means Democrats would need to protect every seat they already have and flip four Republican seats to take control.

00:28:13.020 Based on the latest New York Times Siena polling, that path looks increasingly difficult, if not impossible.

00:28:20.740 In Texas, Republicans appear to have well-positioned as Democrats struggle to find a candidate who can appeal to the state's increasingly conservative electorate.

00:28:30.600 In Maine, Republican Senator Susan Collins has shown strength in a race Democrats once hoped would be an easy pickup.

00:28:37.540 Their candidate Graham Plattner has been damaged by strange controversies and Collins is now leading in recent pollings.

00:28:46.260 In Ohio, Republican John Husted is ahead of Democrat Sherrod Brown in a special election for Vice President J.D. Vance's former seat.

00:28:56.300 Ohio continues to trend red and Republicans have a real opportunity to keep it that way.

00:29:01.640 In Iowa, Republican Ashley Hinson is leading Democrat John Turrick in another race that is far from a slam dunk, but certainly now leans Republican.

00:29:13.740 In North Carolina, could be the toughest spot on the map with Democrat Governor Roy Cooper, currently leading Republican Michael Watley.

00:29:22.860 I have every confidence that Watley will pull ahead in that race.

00:29:26.260 Alaska also remains close, with Republican Dan Sullivan holding a narrow edge in polling.

00:29:32.460 The bottom line is if the Republicans are favored to keep the Senate,

00:29:35.800 but only if we exhaust all of their resources and leave everything on the field, so to speak,

00:29:41.280 in order to make that happen.

00:29:43.220 Conservatives and Republican supporters of the president must turn out,

00:29:47.040 donate, volunteer, and fight like our country depends on it.

00:29:50.240 If they are going to win, I happen to believe that it does.

00:29:54.020 If the radicalized Democrats win, President Trump will be impeached and maybe even thrown from office.

00:30:00.400 We cannot put the great progress made by two years of MAGA in jeopardy.

00:30:04.960 I think we must show up and get all of our friends and family to do so and vote for common sense.

00:30:11.040 Meanwhile, J.D. Vance gives an interesting take on the birthright citizenship ruling.

00:30:18.280 Vice President J.D. Vance said there may be one silver lining in the Supreme Court's decision rejecting President Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.

00:30:28.500 The vote was very close.

00:30:30.780 Speaking with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Vance called the ruling a major, major mistake, but pointed out that it was effectively a 5-4 decision.

00:30:40.300 That, he said, shows the legal foundation for automatic birthright citizenship is indeed hanging by a thread.

00:30:49.320 Vance warned that the ruling could encourage foreign nationals to come to the United States,

00:30:55.520 give birth while here temporarily, and then use that children's citizenship to access benefits

00:31:00.720 and immigration advantages for the broader family.

00:31:04.460 He called that interpretation of the 14th Amendment preposterous

00:31:08.180 and said it makes a mockery of American citizenship. 1.00

00:31:11.960 Well, the vice president is right, 0.80

00:31:14.040 but as American citizens,

00:31:16.380 we must at least temporarily respect the court's decision

00:31:18.980 until the law is changed.

00:31:21.180 But they should not accept this decision as the final word.

00:31:25.140 The vice president noted that many legal experts

00:31:27.300 expected a much wider defeat,

00:31:29.980 perhaps 7-2 or 8-1,

00:31:31.960 and argued that the narrow outcome shows

00:31:34.540 that there is still a path forward.

00:31:36.720 Vance said the administration must continue tightening border enforcement

00:31:40.900 and make sure that the immigration system is not exploited by people using birth tourism or loopholes.

00:31:48.360 The vice president's right. We should not give up hope.

00:31:50.880 You see, if the 2026 election comes out, as I think it will,

00:31:55.580 I think this law could be changed and that we could fix this legislatively.

00:32:02.060 And, given how close this was in the Supreme Court, perhaps that would be upheld by the court.

00:32:07.240 The immigration fight is central to keeping America's freedom intact.

00:32:11.080 For generations to come, citizenship must mean more than the location of birth.

00:32:16.200 It should reflect allegiance, law, and membership in the American nation.

00:32:21.060 And with only one vote on the Supreme Court separating the current system from reform,

00:32:25.420 I don't think the fight over birthright citizenship is yet over.

00:32:29.980 Meanwhile, growth in the manufacturing sector continues to show signs of strength

00:32:34.280 as President Trump's America First economic reforms take shape.

00:32:37.920 New June data from the S&P Global and Institute for Supply Management

00:32:43.720 show American manufacturing expanding for the sixth straight month.

00:32:48.900 Both major indexes remain solidly above the 50% mark, which signals growth,

00:32:54.480 with the S&P's global manufacturing PMI at 53.9,

00:32:59.100 and ISM manufacturing at 53.3.

00:33:03.260 That matters because manufacturing is the backbone of a strong, independent economy.

00:33:09.400 Under President Trump's America First approach,

00:33:12.200 the focus is shifting back to production, supply chains, energy costs,

00:33:17.000 and rebuilding the industrial base here at home.

00:33:20.960 There's also encouraging news on inflation pressures.

00:33:24.220 Prices paid for raw materials rose at a much slower pace in June

00:33:28.880 with ISM's price measure posting its largest one-month drop since July 2022.

00:33:36.080 A major factor was easing energy pressure after the interim U.S.-Iran agreement helped push oil prices lower.

00:33:44.580 The S&P's global Chris Williamson said that manufacturers reported a further marked improvement in output growth in order books.

00:33:53.880 In other words, factories are still producing, orders are still coming in, and the sector remains in expansion mode.

00:34:01.900 This overall picture is clear.

00:34:03.920 Despite global instability and lingering price pressures, American manufacture is still growing.

00:34:10.680 There's no mystery as to why this is the case.

00:34:13.460 It's because we have a president who's putting our people first for once and rejecting the globalist free trade status quo.

00:34:20.480 President Trump's economic policies of less taxation and less regulation are the backbone of his agenda.

00:34:28.060 By providing lower energy costs, stronger supply chains, and renewing our commitment to making things at home,

00:34:35.160 that is how we make America great again and sustain the greatness beyond President Trump's second term in office.

00:34:41.300 It is also why I am still bullish on Republican chances in the midterm elections, where the cost of gas is coming down, the cost of food is coming down, and I still believe the Republicans will gain strength in the House and the Senate.

00:34:58.020 You heard it here first in the Stone Zone.

00:35:01.400 Speaking of Stone Zone, don't go away, because we'll be right back with more hot American politics.

00:36:02.560 the stone zone where we break down the inside skinny on american politics five days a week

00:36:07.520 New whistleblower documents are raising serious questions about safety inside one of America's most sensitive government virus labs.

00:36:15.860 The documents focus on the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, a National Institute of Health facility that handles some of the world's deadliest pathogens under biosafety level four conditions.

00:36:29.080 The concerns come after NIH virologist Vincent Munster and a lab worker were indicted on felony charges after Munster was allegedly caught bringing deadly viruses back from Africa without proper paperwork.

00:36:45.020 According to the FBI complaint and questioned by law enforcement, Munster said, I do this all the time.

00:36:51.460 That's really troubling, to say the least.

00:36:54.820 And Munster is apparently far from being an isolated actor in these activities.

00:36:58.200 Internal documents suggest the problems go far beyond just one scientist or one researcher.

00:37:04.300 A whistleblower says Montana's lab still does not have a real protocol for handling BSL-4 exposure emergencies.

00:37:13.000 That concern became urgent after a worker was bitten by a monkey back in November while potentially exposed to the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, a dangerous virus.

00:37:24.380 NIH publicly described the response as smooth and professional, but internal documents and whistleblowers suggest it was improvised, and the situation could easily have devolved into a public health nightmare, kind of like COVID.

00:37:38.740 The exposed worker was sent first to a hospital in Missoula, then transferred through Idaho to Spokane, requiring approval from three separate governors.

00:37:47.160 The worker later returned to the lab to finish quarantine in a room the whistleblower says was not designed for long-term isolation.

00:37:56.240 Documents also suggest that the Rocky Mountain Lab still lacks a dedicated isolation suite, a reliable testing arrangement, and proper security for certain field samples.

00:38:08.160 It does not appear that the NIH is taking safety seriously after gain-of-function mad sciences caused the COVID pandemic.

00:38:17.160 These lunatics, who believe it is their mandate to play God, are priming with hubris.

00:38:23.300 They must be stopped before their sinister machinations cause more death and destruction. 0.97

00:38:28.600 This is a big story we will continue to follow.

00:38:31.920 Meanwhile, Democrats have attempted to impeach my good friend Linda McMahon.

00:38:36.280 House Democrats are now trying to impeach the Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, from Connecticut,

00:38:41.200 not for failing America's students, but for trying to reform the bureaucracy, which has failed them for decades.

00:38:47.700 Democrat Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamisi of Oregon filed articles of impeachment against Linda McMahon,

00:38:54.700 accusing her of illegally dismantling the Department of Education by transferring several offices and programs to other federal agencies.

00:39:03.300 Sixteen Democrats have signed on to the vain effort.

00:39:05.960 Bonamisi argues that only Congress can dismantle the department and claims that McMahon's action undermined federal oversight and funding authority.

00:39:17.420 But McMahon, who is a fighter, fired back saying it speaks volumes that Democrats consider it an impeachable offense to improve student outcomes and reduce federal bureaucracy.

00:39:28.360 Lyndon McMahon pointed to the department's record before she came in charge.

00:39:32.240 The country has historically low test scores that were botched through the FASA rollout.

00:39:38.500 COVID areas stole school closures, caused an entire generation to experience unnecessary anguish, and parents were treated like threats. 0.53

00:39:47.160 That was an ongoing fight over males in female locker rooms as well. 0.96

00:39:51.600 She had quite the mess to clean up. 1.00

00:39:53.500 I know Linda McMahon, she's one tough lady, and she's doing a great job.

00:39:57.860 McMahon also noted that Washington has spent more than $3 trillion

00:40:01.520 since the Department of Education was created in 1980,

00:40:05.540 yet with only about one-third of our children today can read coefficientally.

00:40:10.260 The Department of Education has done the exact opposite of what it was promised,

00:40:13.420 and like every bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., 0.88

00:40:16.160 has only grown in power and stature throughout every pathetic failure.

00:40:20.940 And therefore, I say to you, God bless Linda McMahon.

00:40:24.220 I know that this effort to impeach her will fail.

00:40:26.500 I'm Roger Stone
