The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 07-03-25

00:00:00.400 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:07.460 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:10.540 We're a little bleary-eyed here because we were up in not only late in the evening,

00:00:15.760 but into the early morning hours following the historic passage of the big, beautiful bill,

00:00:22.400 the largest single tax reduction on the American people,

00:00:26.600 a bill that included doing away with the tax on tips,

00:00:30.780 a bill that included doing away with the tax on Social Security for 88% of current Social Security recipients,

00:00:38.580 a bill that included funding for the Golden Dome, the strategic defense shield

00:00:44.580 that would shield our country from incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles,

00:00:51.800 a lot of doing away, obviously, of the tax on tips,

00:00:55.360 a lot of great stuff in the big, beautiful bill.

00:00:59.300 Is it perfect? No, but it's very, very good.

00:01:02.960 Heavy funding for ICE and Homeland Security,

00:01:07.340 a beefing up of the protections on our southern border.

00:01:10.800 This is the centerpiece of President Donald Trump's agenda,

00:01:15.400 and we're celebrating its passage.

00:01:17.720 He really doesn't have to go back to the Congress again now for a long time for money.

00:01:24.280 This was an epic, hard-fought victory, the president and the vice president

00:01:28.800 and every member of the cabinet and his top staff members working into the wee hours of the morning

00:01:34.740 to round up the votes.

00:01:36.340 Also, congratulations to House Speaker Mike Johnson,

00:01:40.200 who's a good friend of this show, a good friend of mine,

00:01:42.940 for his persistence and his leadership.

00:01:46.960 It was a great, great evening, and I believe this is a great victory for America.

00:01:51.980 Meanwhile, yesterday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a harsh report

00:01:58.420 implicating Obama-CIA Director John Brennan,

00:02:03.380 Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Advisor Susan Rice,

00:02:10.420 former National Security Advisor James Clapper,

00:02:14.480 FBI Director James Comey,

00:02:17.860 Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe,

00:02:21.040 and Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

00:02:25.040 of deep involvement in the Russian collusion hoax.

00:02:31.300 This is not news to me.

00:02:33.260 I have written it and reported it,

00:02:34.960 as has Lee Smith, who's been on the show a number of times.

00:02:38.460 But in this shocking governmental review,

00:02:42.140 CIA Director Ratcliffe found that John Brennan,

00:02:45.900 the former CIA Director,

00:02:47.460 colluded with FBI officials to include

00:02:50.080 the infamous dossier

00:02:52.680 that was fabricated by British spook Christopher Steele

00:02:58.580 as evidence to build a case

00:03:01.480 that President Donald Trump

00:03:04.040 was a pawn of the Russians. 0.67

00:03:07.440 Now, Brennan knew the province of the dossier.

00:03:12.600 He knew it had been paid for by Hillary Clinton.

00:03:15.180 He knew that it had been fabricated

00:03:17.340 by a former British intelligence agent,

00:03:20.000 but he insisted that it be included in a briefing

00:03:25.800 that was prepared for President Barack Obama.

00:03:30.000 Ratcliffe blasted the CIA and the FBI

00:03:32.600 for their high-confidence assessment

00:03:35.860 based on the fact that they claimed

00:03:39.100 that Russian President Vladimir Putin

00:03:40.940 aspired for Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton.

00:03:45.980 Ratcliffe determined that the decision by agency heads

00:03:49.300 to include the questionable Steele dossier

00:03:52.900 in the intelligence community assessment

00:03:56.920 given to Obama ran counter

00:03:59.320 to all of the fundamental tradecraft principles

00:04:02.620 and ultimately completely undermined

00:04:05.940 the credibility of the report

00:04:09.160 as given to President Obama.

00:04:11.920 Now, my good friend General Michael Flynn

00:04:14.580 has argued that Obama knew

00:04:16.920 that the Steele dossier was a fugazi,

00:04:20.200 but he used it to frame Donald Trump.

00:04:23.120 Of course, it was later used

00:04:24.300 to rationalize the Mueller investigation

00:04:28.660 into Donald Trump.

00:04:29.920 It's interesting that the number two man

00:04:32.240 in the Mueller witch hunt, Andrew Weissman,

00:04:36.660 considered by many to be the single most corrupt

00:04:40.080 federal prosecutor in American history,

00:04:43.680 with a long history of covering up mob murders,

00:04:47.100 destroying companies,

00:04:50.860 destroying the civil rights of many,

00:04:53.420 a guy who was the de facto head

00:04:58.300 of the Mueller witch hunt.

00:05:00.160 He knew all the way back to his time

00:05:02.320 as general counsel to the FBI

00:05:04.080 that the Steele dossier was a fraud,

00:05:07.100 but he nonetheless used it as the rationale

00:05:11.420 for Robert Mueller's Get Trump witch hunt.

00:05:16.460 Brennan was specifically called out

00:05:18.500 in the report yesterday

00:05:19.580 for caring more about crafting an anti-Trump narrative

00:05:23.720 than getting the facts straight.

00:05:26.720 Brennan was actually, according to the report,

00:05:29.460 informed by two experienced CIA analysts

00:05:32.820 that the so-called Steele dossier was flawed,

00:05:36.400 but he ignored their concerns

00:05:38.300 because he wanted to push

00:05:39.840 the Russian collusion narrative,

00:05:41.820 even at the expense

00:05:43.000 of the intelligence community's reputation.

00:05:45.920 During an interview with the New York Post,

00:05:48.540 Ratcliffe did not mince words.

00:05:50.300 He said, this was Obama, Comey, Clapper,

00:05:54.900 Brennan, and others deciding 0.92

00:05:56.460 we are going to screw Trump.

00:05:59.180 It was, we're going to create this 0.97

00:06:00.920 and put the imprimatur

00:06:02.120 of the intelligence community assessment

00:06:04.500 in a way that nobody can question it.

00:06:07.340 They stamped it as Russian collusion,

00:06:09.700 and then they classified it

00:06:11.580 so nobody could see where it came from.

00:06:14.260 This, to me, is the start

00:06:16.980 of the unwinding of the federal deep state,

00:06:19.920 and there is no man more guilty

00:06:22.340 than John Brennan of waging war

00:06:25.140 against the republic.

00:06:27.380 Just weeks ago, you saw Brennan,

00:06:30.480 who really has no self-awareness at all,

00:06:33.720 on MSNBC.

00:06:35.520 He said he was appalled, appalled,

00:06:38.260 because Director of National Intelligence,

00:06:40.640 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:06:41.520 is cleaning house at that agency,

00:06:44.560 and she has kicked out a number 0.99

00:06:47.240 of the careerists,

00:06:49.320 who are, in fact, quizlings,

00:06:51.940 whose loyalty is to Barack Obama

00:06:54.120 and Joe Biden.

00:06:55.680 In some cases, she's actually referred

00:06:58.660 a number of those individuals

00:07:00.920 to the Justice Department

00:07:02.760 for illegally leaking.

00:07:04.320 It was a little over a month ago

00:07:06.820 that I published the case

00:07:08.540 for John Brennan

00:07:09.320 to actually be charged with treason.

00:07:12.600 It's a powerful case,

00:07:14.100 and there are a few deep state crooks

00:07:16.020 who can match Brennan's duplicity

00:07:18.380 and motive for undermining

00:07:20.600 America's resurrection.

00:07:22.720 In addition to his role

00:07:24.500 of pushing the bogus steel dossier

00:07:27.440 in order to frame Trump

00:07:28.700 for Russian collusion,

00:07:30.360 Brennan also shamefully set up

00:07:33.300 over two dozen Trump advisers,

00:07:35.800 including yours truly,

00:07:37.420 for surveillance

00:07:38.800 by the so-called Five Eyes,

00:07:43.300 English-speaking intelligence agencies.

00:07:46.320 In other words,

00:07:47.260 Brennan went to the Brits,

00:07:49.060 the Australians,

00:07:50.060 the New Zealands, Canada,

00:07:51.720 and said,

00:07:52.180 look, we need plausible deniability.

00:07:55.260 It would be illegal for us

00:07:56.900 to spy on these U.S. citizens,

00:07:59.040 so we want you to spy on them for us,

00:08:02.460 and we'd like you to bump them.

00:08:05.000 That is intelligence speak

00:08:07.380 for monitor all of our phone calls,

00:08:10.380 our text messages,

00:08:11.780 and our emails.

00:08:14.420 Brennan was instrumental

00:08:15.660 in the illegal FISA warrants

00:08:19.040 and wiretaps that were deployed

00:08:20.780 in the lead-up of the 2016 presidential election,

00:08:24.600 which targeted Trump's most vocal supporters,

00:08:28.180 including me.

00:08:30.440 Brennan was also involved

00:08:32.320 in the electoral interference operation

00:08:34.220 against Trump in 2020.

00:08:36.100 It was John Brennan

00:08:37.200 who was among the 51 former

00:08:39.440 or current intelligence officers

00:08:41.880 who penned a letter

00:08:43.680 proclaiming that the contents

00:08:45.240 of Hunter Biden's laptop

00:08:46.940 was Russian disinformation

00:08:49.320 and propaganda,

00:08:50.920 a falsehood pushed

00:08:52.220 to strong-arm

00:08:53.800 the woke social media corporations

00:08:56.160 into censoring

00:08:57.700 the legitimate story

00:08:59.100 to prevent it

00:09:00.260 from impacting

00:09:01.060 the minds of the voters

00:09:02.520 in the 2020 election.

00:09:06.180 The New York Post,

00:09:07.360 who broke that story,

00:09:09.040 they found themselves

00:09:10.020 suspended on Twitter

00:09:11.640 simply for printing the truth.

00:09:14.160 That was because of the pressure

00:09:15.480 put on them

00:09:16.500 by John Brennan

00:09:18.320 and the CIA.

00:09:20.260 Brennan is not

00:09:21.380 a misguided ideologue

00:09:22.940 who succumbed

00:09:23.660 to Trump derangement syndrome,

00:09:25.560 as many who have worked

00:09:26.300 against Trump

00:09:26.960 in government

00:09:27.660 assuredly are,

00:09:28.520 but rather,

00:09:29.600 Brennan is a serious,

00:09:31.540 subversive agent

00:09:32.580 who has operated

00:09:33.900 a mission to destroy

00:09:34.960 this country

00:09:35.620 since he was a young man.

00:09:38.260 Brennan confessed

00:09:39.440 during a lie detector test

00:09:41.200 that he was an operative,

00:09:43.320 a member of the

00:09:44.100 Communist Party of America

00:09:45.420 during four different

00:09:47.480 presidential elections.

00:09:48.640 due to institutional rot,

00:09:51.560 this incredible revelation

00:09:53.640 somehow

00:09:54.280 did not preclude

00:09:56.180 John Brennan

00:09:56.900 from serving in the CIA

00:09:58.360 and rising

00:09:59.900 to the position

00:10:01.180 of director.

00:10:02.700 Former FBI agent

00:10:04.420 John Guandolo,

00:10:05.960 a crucial leader

00:10:07.360 of the Bureau's

00:10:08.140 counterterrorism efforts

00:10:09.380 following the 9-11 attacks,

00:10:11.480 revealed

00:10:11.880 that Brennan

00:10:13.140 actually converted

00:10:14.800 to radical Islam

00:10:16.900 when working

00:10:17.780 as the CIA

00:10:18.760 station chief

00:10:19.660 in Saudi Arabia.

00:10:21.860 No doubt,

00:10:23.020 this resume

00:10:23.580 made Brennan

00:10:24.280 the perfect choice

00:10:25.260 to be picked

00:10:25.840 as CIA director

00:10:27.740 under first

00:10:28.760 President George W. Bush

00:10:30.860 and then

00:10:31.380 under President

00:10:32.620 Barack Hussein Obama.

00:10:35.000 This resume

00:10:35.980 also makes Brennan

00:10:37.160 a logical first choice

00:10:39.420 for a deep state

00:10:41.100 apparatchik,

00:10:42.340 the first one,

00:10:43.400 to be charged

00:10:44.300 with treason.

00:10:45.020 Let me remind you,

00:10:46.740 it was also

00:10:47.400 John Brennan

00:10:48.240 who signed

00:10:49.620 the visas

00:10:50.520 when he was

00:10:51.320 the station chief

00:10:52.180 in Riyadh

00:10:53.220 for four of the hijackers

00:10:55.420 who attacked America 0.67

00:10:56.620 on 9-11

00:10:57.800 and it was

00:10:58.880 John Brennan

00:10:59.600 who got caught

00:11:00.440 red-handed

00:11:01.200 spying

00:11:02.400 on a Senate

00:11:03.560 committee

00:11:04.280 that was

00:11:05.160 investigating

00:11:06.000 FBI Director

00:11:07.280 John Brennan's

00:11:08.280 illegal use

00:11:09.900 of torture.

00:11:11.460 I believe

00:11:12.560 that his crimes

00:11:14.220 constitute treason

00:11:15.680 even though

00:11:16.520 I'm not a lawyer.

00:11:17.980 Lawyers that I do respect

00:11:19.180 like David Schoen,

00:11:20.760 Alan Dershowitz

00:11:21.480 and others

00:11:22.000 tell me

00:11:23.040 that there is

00:11:23.600 no statute

00:11:24.260 of limitations

00:11:25.040 on the crime

00:11:26.440 of treason

00:11:26.980 and that

00:11:28.260 somebody

00:11:29.000 guilty of treason

00:11:30.240 can be charged

00:11:31.500 and tried

00:11:32.100 for that crime

00:11:33.280 at any time.

00:11:34.220 Well, if that's true,

00:11:35.320 I nominate

00:11:36.500 John Brennan.

00:11:37.740 There's a lot of others

00:11:38.500 here who need to be

00:11:39.320 brought to justice.

00:11:40.260 That list includes

00:11:41.300 Hillary Clinton,

00:11:42.500 Peter Strzok,

00:11:43.640 Lisa Page,

00:11:44.980 Valerie Jarrett,

00:11:46.120 Ben Rhodes,

00:11:47.760 Mary McCord,

00:11:49.240 James Baker,

00:11:50.800 Samantha Powers,

00:11:51.880 Lisa Monaco.

00:11:52.840 This list goes

00:11:53.500 on and on.

00:11:55.500 These people

00:11:56.180 tried to destroy

00:11:57.240 my life.

00:11:58.740 They tried to destroy

00:11:59.660 the life of

00:12:00.360 President Donald Trump.

00:12:02.140 They tried to destroy

00:12:03.140 the life of my good

00:12:03.940 friend General

00:12:04.700 Michael Flynn.

00:12:06.940 So my question

00:12:08.040 continues to be

00:12:09.460 will anybody

00:12:10.800 be held

00:12:11.680 responsible?

00:12:12.800 Will anybody

00:12:13.500 be brought

00:12:14.200 to trial?

00:12:15.320 Or is

00:12:16.280 the system

00:12:17.120 so rigged

00:12:18.440 that they're

00:12:19.680 going to get

00:12:20.000 away with

00:12:20.780 their involvement

00:12:21.520 in the single

00:12:22.340 biggest dirty

00:12:23.560 trick in

00:12:24.580 American political

00:12:25.640 history?

00:12:26.380 Coming up a bit

00:12:27.220 later on the show,

00:12:28.480 Congressman Tim

00:12:29.300 Burchick from

00:12:30.340 Tennessee's

00:12:31.080 2nd District.

00:12:31.980 He was up late

00:12:32.640 as well,

00:12:33.640 voting.

00:12:34.620 Ultimately,

00:12:35.300 he was undecided,

00:12:36.120 but ultimately

00:12:36.560 voted for

00:12:37.620 the big,

00:12:38.320 beautiful bill.

00:12:38.900 He's going to

00:12:39.260 tell us why

00:12:39.700 he did that.

00:12:40.700 But I'm

00:12:41.440 anxious to ask

00:12:42.640 Tim Burchick

00:12:43.500 whether he

00:12:44.100 believes that

00:12:45.180 any of these

00:12:46.020 deep state

00:12:46.860 criminals who

00:12:47.980 have now been

00:12:48.880 caught red-handed

00:12:50.120 between the

00:12:51.600 report of

00:12:52.440 special counsel

00:12:53.100 John Durham

00:12:53.900 and this report

00:12:55.100 released yesterday

00:12:56.040 by CIA Director

00:12:57.420 John Radcliffe,

00:12:59.240 will anybody

00:13:00.080 ever be held

00:13:01.480 responsible?

00:13:02.720 Or is it

00:13:04.300 just business

00:13:05.400 business as

00:13:06.020 usual?

00:13:06.940 I'm Roger

00:13:07.440 Stone.

00:13:08.080 We're in

00:13:08.760 the Stone

00:13:11.560 the political

00:13:12.580 phenomena of

00:13:13.940 Zoran Mamdami,

00:13:16.040 how exactly

00:13:17.040 a Marxist

00:13:18.440 got nominated

00:13:19.300 by one of

00:13:19.960 America's

00:14:24.500 the Stone Zone on

00:14:25.580 the Red Apple Audio

00:14:27.060 Networks.

00:14:28.040 You know, it's

00:14:28.580 easy to dismiss the

00:14:29.980 rise of Zoran

00:14:31.320 Mamdani, the

00:14:32.440 far-left

00:14:33.480 socialist, if not

00:14:34.620 communist, who's

00:14:35.420 now the front

00:14:36.400 runner to become

00:14:37.140 the next mayor of

00:14:38.300 New York City after

00:14:39.520 winning the Democrat

00:14:40.440 primary for that

00:14:41.320 position.

00:14:42.060 As a result of

00:14:43.440 socialist youth

00:14:44.840 indoctrination and

00:14:45.980 rank-choice voter

00:14:47.520 ignorance, certainly

00:14:48.900 those factors, in my

00:14:50.320 opinion, are at play.

00:14:51.300 But the bigger and

00:14:51.880 more important lesson

00:14:52.660 is that Mandami won

00:14:54.280 because he successfully

00:14:55.360 framed himself as a

00:14:57.480 crusader against

00:14:58.760 corrupt, entrenched,

00:15:00.060 out-of-touch 0.96

00:15:01.000 political elites.

00:15:02.900 Mamdani defeated

00:15:03.780 former Governor

00:15:04.600 Andrew Cuomo, who

00:15:05.700 was bounced from

00:15:06.900 that executive

00:15:07.660 position after being

00:15:08.600 dogged by sexual

00:15:09.920 harassment allegations,

00:15:11.500 as well as

00:15:13.180 defeating a host of

00:15:14.960 other well-known

00:15:16.240 Democrat politicians.

00:15:17.740 Mamdani has

00:15:18.440 juxtaposed himself

00:15:19.880 well against the

00:15:20.880 current New York City

00:15:22.120 mayor, Eric Adams.

00:15:23.800 Adams has attempted

00:15:24.800 to play the Trump

00:15:25.920 card in recent months,

00:15:27.020 suggesting that

00:15:27.740 charges of public

00:15:29.020 corruption levied

00:15:29.780 against him are

00:15:30.480 an insider

00:15:31.600 conspiracy to

00:15:32.580 remove a decent

00:15:33.500 man from office.

00:15:34.840 Unfortunately, this

00:15:35.680 could not be further

00:15:36.640 from the truth.

00:15:37.860 In fact, Eric Adams

00:15:39.100 never objected to

00:15:41.240 Joe Biden's open

00:15:42.480 borders policy.

00:15:43.940 He ran as a

00:15:45.200 full-throated

00:15:46.280 advocate for

00:15:47.560 New York City

00:15:48.320 being a sanctuary

00:15:49.340 city.

00:15:50.380 He located

00:15:51.420 shelters for

00:15:53.560 dangerous illegal

00:15:54.800 immigrants in 0.91

00:15:55.560 stable working-class

00:15:57.420 neighborhoods.

00:15:58.020 when he wasn't

00:15:59.240 putting them in

00:15:59.900 $500-a-night

00:16:01.260 luxury hotels. 0.99

00:16:03.420 He's a corrupt 0.94

00:16:04.300 politician who was 0.93

00:16:05.340 accused of taking

00:16:06.960 gobs of cash from

00:16:08.300 foreigners, laundering 0.70

00:16:10.000 it through New Yorkers,

00:16:11.360 and putting it through

00:16:12.140 New York City's, I

00:16:13.740 think it's, eight-to-one

00:16:14.660 campaign finance

00:16:15.900 matching funds.

00:16:17.460 At the time,

00:16:18.320 prosecutors charged

00:16:19.740 him.

00:16:19.980 They said that

00:16:20.580 Mayor Adams engaged

00:16:21.880 in a long-running

00:16:22.720 conspiracy, taking

00:16:24.080 contributions from

00:16:25.040 Turkish foreign

00:16:25.980 agents, even

00:16:26.960 though he knew

00:16:27.420 they were illegal.

00:16:28.240 These illegal

00:16:28.740 campaign contributions

00:16:29.760 were believed,

00:16:31.040 based on his

00:16:31.640 indictment, to be in

00:16:32.460 excess of $10

00:16:33.640 million.

00:16:34.820 This is the

00:16:35.660 foreign cash that

00:16:36.520 helped fuel Mayor

00:16:37.760 Adams' rise from

00:16:38.720 Brooklyn Borough

00:16:39.760 president to the

00:16:40.640 office of mayor.

00:16:42.900 Anyone, such as 0.95

00:16:44.200 the millionaire

00:16:45.320 Bill Ackman, who

00:16:46.340 believes crime is

00:16:47.240 down in New York

00:16:48.060 City, does not

00:16:49.120 understand the way

00:16:49.880 they have cooked

00:16:50.580 the statistics to

00:16:51.660 hide the sad

00:16:52.700 truth, which is

00:16:53.540 crime zord under

00:16:55.160 this mayor.

00:16:56.420 It is very

00:16:58.440 interesting how

00:16:59.220 these politicians

00:16:59.940 seek to reinvent

00:17:02.180 themselves.

00:17:03.700 I think that

00:17:04.820 America is going

00:17:06.560 to stand by while

00:17:07.440 we witness a

00:17:08.320 three-way, at

00:17:09.620 least three-way race

00:17:10.680 for mayor.

00:17:11.380 Mandami as a

00:17:12.220 Democrat, Curtis

00:17:13.380 Sliwa, the

00:17:14.140 certified Republican

00:17:15.040 nominee, Mayor

00:17:17.120 Eric Adams running

00:17:18.200 as independent, and

00:17:19.180 perhaps, perhaps

00:17:20.560 Governor Andrew

00:17:21.640 Cuomo.

00:17:22.020 I see a recipe

00:17:23.560 here for disaster.

00:17:25.280 The only good

00:17:25.940 that can come of

00:17:26.640 this, unfortunately,

00:17:28.000 not good news for

00:17:28.660 the people of New

00:17:29.220 York, but if we

00:17:30.480 elect a socialist

00:17:31.560 mayor who wants to

00:17:32.580 defund the police

00:17:33.520 and open the

00:17:34.420 prisons, raise our 0.69

00:17:36.300 taxes to pay for

00:17:37.120 all of his

00:17:37.460 cockamamie programs,

00:17:39.120 New York will be

00:17:39.820 on fire by 2028,

00:17:41.520 and it will be a

00:17:42.600 showcase for the

00:17:43.860 nation of what

00:17:45.020 happens when you

00:17:46.120 elect a radical 0.93

00:17:47.420 Muslim communist 0.98

00:17:49.620 mayor.

00:17:50.260 This is Roger

00:17:51.860 Stone.

00:17:52.280 We're in the

00:17:52.700 Stone Zone.

00:17:53.140 When we come

00:17:53.540 back, Congressman

00:17:54.660 Tim Burchett from

00:17:55.800 Tennessee, he was

00:17:56.980 there last night in

00:17:57.880 the wee hours when

00:17:58.640 they passed the big

00:17:59.440 beautiful bill.

00:18:00.440 It was a historic

00:18:01.560 moment.

00:18:02.020 We're going to ask

00:18:02.520 him all about it,

00:18:03.260 so please stay with

00:18:04.500 us right here in the

00:18:05.640 Stone Zone.

00:18:06.140 We're back in the

00:18:27.380 Stone Zone.

00:18:28.080 I admit it, we're a

00:18:29.260 little punchy because

00:18:30.240 we were up all night

00:18:31.880 and into the early

00:18:33.080 hours of the morning

00:18:34.100 watching the progress

00:18:35.700 of the president's

00:18:36.820 big, beautiful bill,

00:18:38.640 which has now passed

00:18:40.180 the U.S.

00:18:40.980 House of Representatives.

00:18:42.480 Joining me now is one

00:18:44.540 of my favorite members

00:18:45.420 of Congress, Tim

00:18:46.640 Burchett from

00:18:47.560 Tennessee's 2nd

00:18:49.000 District.

00:18:49.440 That's East

00:18:49.980 Tennessee.

00:18:51.120 Tim is a rock-rib

00:18:52.380 Ronald Reagan

00:18:53.220 conservative, a

00:18:54.320 bulldog champion of

00:18:55.920 the taxpayers of both

00:18:56.960 Tennessee and America,

00:18:58.640 and a Donald Trump

00:19:00.620 America First

00:19:01.500 loyalist.

00:19:02.300 Don't ever confuse

00:19:03.880 Tim Burchett with a

00:19:05.000 politician.

00:19:06.100 He is a true

00:19:07.340 patriot and joins us

00:19:09.500 now to talk about this

00:19:10.480 historic experience.

00:19:12.220 Tim, welcome back into

00:19:13.180 the Stone Zone.

00:19:14.520 Thank you, Mr. Stone.

00:19:15.960 It is always a pleasure,

00:19:17.580 and I say this with all

00:19:19.040 sincerity.

00:19:20.140 I wish my mom and

00:19:21.140 daddy were alive to hear

00:19:22.520 me on your show.

00:19:23.840 They would just be

00:19:25.120 floored that I know

00:19:26.460 somebody of your stature,

00:19:27.840 and I mean that with all

00:19:28.740 sincerity.

00:19:29.180 You carried the water

00:19:30.180 of this country behind

00:19:31.780 the scenes for a lot of

00:19:32.800 years, and you continue

00:19:34.340 to do it, and I just,

00:19:36.040 and I'm very grateful for

00:19:37.280 you, brother.

00:19:37.820 I really am.

00:19:38.660 Well, that's very kind.

00:19:40.340 Our listeners out there in

00:19:41.920 Stone Zone land love your

00:19:43.060 country wisdom.

00:19:44.320 We get a lot of great

00:19:45.200 comments whenever you're on

00:19:46.660 because you have an

00:19:47.980 amazing tendency to just

00:19:49.520 tell it like it is.

00:19:50.960 But last night had to be

00:19:52.760 both nerve-wracking and

00:19:54.500 exciting.

00:19:55.160 You were a part of

00:19:56.560 history.

00:19:57.960 I'm very familiar with

00:19:59.500 the Big Beautiful Bill.

00:20:00.760 For weeks now, I have

00:20:01.960 been beating back the

00:20:03.960 disinformation regarding

00:20:05.480 how the bill treats

00:20:07.100 Social Security, how it

00:20:08.680 treats Medicaid, what it

00:20:10.280 does and does not do.

00:20:12.000 This is the blueprint for

00:20:14.280 Donald Trump's plan to

00:20:15.460 take America into the 0.74

00:20:16.620 golden age.

00:20:17.420 I think we would all

00:20:18.200 recognize that the bill

00:20:20.040 was not perfect from the

00:20:21.280 get-go.

00:20:21.740 No piece of legislation

00:20:22.760 ever is, but it got

00:20:25.400 increasingly better.

00:20:27.080 And those critics who

00:20:29.020 say, well, it doesn't do

00:20:30.740 enough to reduce spending,

00:20:32.280 they're right, but this

00:20:33.640 isn't the vehicle for that

00:20:35.400 is the way I look at it.

00:20:37.440 No, you're correct.

00:20:38.800 I mean, I guess it's like a

00:20:40.600 nice car.

00:20:42.380 It depends on who's

00:20:43.540 driving it.

00:20:44.440 And it just so happens that

00:20:45.500 Donald J. Trump is driving

00:20:46.840 this car or this train.

00:20:49.300 And, you know, I had a lot

00:20:50.300 of questions.

00:20:51.500 And I'll be honest with you,

00:20:52.780 I was not in favor of the

00:20:54.280 bill.

00:20:54.500 I, um, because I didn't

00:20:56.820 have the answers that I

00:20:58.220 needed.

00:20:58.640 And President Trump took

00:21:00.340 two hours yesterday, if you

00:21:02.220 can believe that.

00:21:03.440 And him and J.D.

00:21:04.580 Vance, who I'm continue to

00:21:05.900 be, I wasn't a J.D.

00:21:06.920 Vance fan, really.

00:21:08.460 But, um, after closed

00:21:11.840 doors meetings with both of

00:21:13.080 them, and it's two, two

00:21:14.080 dadgum hours, Mr. Stone.

00:21:15.960 And he, um, and you've

00:21:17.880 been in a room with Trump,

00:21:18.980 but the thing that, that

00:21:20.340 always, that got me, and I

00:21:21.780 left, as I left, I was

00:21:22.820 telling some people, some

00:21:23.740 staffers this, they were,

00:21:24.900 what'd you think?

00:21:25.500 And I said, well, 14 people

00:21:27.920 in a room, just fastballing

00:21:30.780 questions to the president.

00:21:32.300 And, you know, he answered

00:21:33.500 every dadgum one of them.

00:21:34.660 But the thing I like about

00:21:35.740 him is, Mr. Stone, more and

00:21:37.600 more is when he doesn't have

00:21:39.580 the answer.

00:21:40.640 You know, you always hear

00:21:41.860 about this bravado, Trump

00:21:43.180 bravado, or whatever.

00:21:44.460 I don't know.

00:21:45.460 Um, uh, you know, I guess

00:21:47.160 it's okay to be cocky when

00:21:48.780 you're, when you're right and

00:21:49.920 you know what you're talking

00:21:50.800 about.

00:21:51.260 And he knew what the heck

00:21:52.600 he was talking about on

00:21:53.540 every issue.

00:21:54.100 And the thing I liked the

00:21:55.260 most, though, when he

00:21:56.500 didn't know, he would turn

00:21:58.560 to one of his experts, call

00:22:00.100 him by name and say, what's

00:22:01.400 the answer to this?

00:22:02.360 And, you know, I've, you've

00:22:03.900 been in meetings with

00:22:04.740 executives before as many

00:22:06.340 times, a lot more than I

00:22:07.500 have in world leaders, but a

00:22:09.180 lot of them will just

00:22:09.820 either lie to you or try

00:22:11.180 to Buffalo you to get

00:22:12.880 you to, you know, to, to

00:22:14.240 think they know the

00:22:15.220 answer and their arrogance

00:22:16.560 won't allow them to say,

00:22:18.380 I don't know, but that's

00:22:19.600 not the way it was with

00:22:20.480 Trump.

00:22:20.780 And he, and JD would fill

00:22:22.720 in, um, in certain areas

00:22:24.940 and provide support when

00:22:27.220 needed.

00:22:28.100 And, um, you know, he had

00:22:29.660 people from the treasury, he

00:22:31.140 had his, all his people 0.99

00:22:33.320 that you see on television

00:22:34.460 in there.

00:22:35.020 And, um, and, and I'll just

00:22:37.240 be honest with you.

00:22:37.940 I left after I left there, I

00:22:39.500 was, I was in his camp on

00:22:41.420 the bill because it, he

00:22:42.680 convinced me that

00:22:43.600 economically it's the right

00:22:45.040 thing to do.

00:22:46.180 And, uh, and many other

00:22:47.920 reasons why as well.

00:22:50.140 Well, I think it's because

00:22:51.820 he comes not from the world

00:22:53.120 of politics, but from the

00:22:54.360 world of business.

00:22:55.160 Uh, and in business, you

00:22:56.780 can't Buffalo people trying 0.99

00:22:58.080 to make a deal with, they

00:22:58.740 want real answers.

00:23:00.240 Uh, Trump operates, uh, like

00:23:02.100 a businessman.

00:23:02.960 He likes facts, hard facts

00:23:05.140 and hard realities.

00:23:06.980 And I agree with you on

00:23:08.220 your assessment of J.D.

00:23:09.640 Vance.

00:23:10.080 I was not always a J.D.

00:23:11.700 Vance fan, uh, but I am

00:23:13.780 today.

00:23:14.400 He's been remarkably

00:23:15.600 effective behind the scenes,

00:23:17.560 particularly, uh, in the

00:23:19.000 confirmation of some of the

00:23:20.260 president's better, but more

00:23:21.880 controversial cabinet picks.

00:23:24.320 Uh, he doesn't get much

00:23:25.420 credit for that, but he was

00:23:26.700 really the guy up on Capitol

00:23:28.240 Hill, uh, rounding up the

00:23:30.240 necessary votes, jawboning

00:23:31.700 certain Republicans.

00:23:32.540 I think J.D.

00:23:33.660 Vance is doing a terrific

00:23:34.660 job, and, uh, I think the

00:23:36.400 American people are going to 1.00

00:23:37.180 learn more and more about

00:23:38.040 that over time.

00:23:39.900 I do have to ask you, uh,

00:23:41.980 last time we spoke, uh, we

00:23:43.920 were talking about your

00:23:45.160 bill, uh, it came as a

00:23:47.140 shock to me, but I checked

00:23:48.260 it out.

00:23:48.600 It's absolutely true.

00:23:50.040 Millions of dollars from the

00:23:52.060 American taxpayers flowing to

00:23:54.660 the Taliban.

00:23:55.820 Uh, and, uh, you, you

00:23:57.740 brought this up.

00:23:58.460 You've had legislation.

00:24:00.040 You introduced a no tax

00:24:01.840 dollars for the Terrorist

00:24:03.000 Act.

00:24:03.660 What is the status of that?

00:24:05.760 Oh, thank you so much for

00:24:07.020 asking about that, and you're

00:24:07.980 correct.

00:24:08.400 It's 40 million a week, and

00:24:09.620 the State Department, who I

00:24:10.860 have no love for, and never

00:24:12.640 have, is, is even, I have a

00:24:14.240 document, a five-page

00:24:15.220 document that says we've sent

00:24:16.560 close to five billion.

00:24:17.960 Now it's probably more than

00:24:19.180 that, because it's, uh,

00:24:20.340 several weeks old.

00:24:21.440 It is past the House.

00:24:23.060 It is in the Senate.

00:24:24.680 And I'm hoping that, um,

00:24:26.600 Senator Foon will allow it to

00:24:29.160 move through, because, um,

00:24:31.260 uh, Senator Sheehy, former

00:24:34.360 Navy SEAL, and Tommy

00:24:35.680 Tuberville, another straight

00:24:37.880 talker, are both working on

00:24:39.780 the bill.

00:24:40.220 And I'm going to, I'm going to

00:24:41.940 try to get with them the first

00:24:42.980 of the week and just, and, and,

00:24:44.860 and urge them along, because I

00:24:47.300 think the country supports

00:24:48.560 things like that.

00:24:49.460 It's time to stop that

00:24:51.180 nonsense, that corruption that

00:24:52.920 has come out of the Biden

00:24:53.960 administration.

00:24:55.180 It's just, it's, it's, it's

00:24:56.720 almost overwhelming, Mr.

00:24:58.480 Stone, to be honest with you,

00:24:59.700 because of the amount of out

00:25:02.200 and right, just stealing.

00:25:04.060 And I think that it, I think

00:25:06.860 what really, what really is,

00:25:08.680 is become of it.

00:25:09.620 I think the money's flowing

00:25:10.560 back to Washington, DC, and I

00:25:12.100 think it's flowing into the

00:25:13.020 pockets of, of members of

00:25:14.580 Congress.

00:25:15.160 And I hope they get caught and I

00:25:17.020 don't care what party they're

00:25:18.200 in.

00:25:18.380 I hope they put them in 0.70

00:25:19.360 handcuffs and drag them out of 1.00

00:25:21.160 this building, kicking and 0.72

00:25:22.620 screaming.

00:25:23.960 I think you're exactly right.

00:25:25.240 As you know, Elon Musk alluded

00:25:27.360 to this back when he was running

00:25:29.100 the Doge operation.

00:25:31.080 I mean, USAID, which by the

00:25:33.640 way, was never enacted by

00:25:35.000 Congress.

00:25:35.440 It was created through

00:25:36.400 executive order by President

00:25:37.800 John F. Kennedy.

00:25:38.880 And it had a legitimate purpose

00:25:40.420 at the time.

00:25:41.120 It was supposed to fund

00:25:42.180 governments in our hemisphere,

00:25:45.140 in, in Central and South

00:25:46.640 America, who were fighting

00:25:47.620 communism.

00:25:48.680 A lot easier to talk to people

00:25:50.060 with a full belly than when 0.94

00:25:51.260 they're hungry.

00:25:51.720 It had a very good and I think

00:25:53.860 legitimate purpose when it

00:25:54.980 started, but it morphed into a

00:25:56.780 slush fund for the radical left.

00:25:59.600 And we were funding terrorism.

00:26:01.780 We were funding color revolutions.

00:26:04.120 We were funding impeachments.

00:26:06.500 We were funding all kinds of

00:26:08.740 crazy DEI programs.

00:26:11.860 The numbers boggle the mind.

00:26:13.660 And the folks at AID, USAID, they

00:26:17.100 seem to believe they answered to

00:26:18.280 no one.

00:26:18.760 Like they were, they were a

00:26:20.100 government unto themselves.

00:26:21.800 I give big credit for, to

00:26:23.240 Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

00:26:25.280 Andrew, the president, of course,

00:26:26.560 for now defunding this massive

00:26:29.500 leftist slush fund.

00:26:32.160 I mean, if you're a Democrat, you

00:26:34.300 haven't had a very good couple

00:26:35.740 weeks.

00:26:37.200 USAID is defunded.

00:26:38.540 The Dow Industrial Average is

00:26:41.300 skyrocketing.

00:26:42.460 The U.S. Supreme Court has

00:26:44.460 finally limited the power of rogue

00:26:47.780 leftist district judges.

00:26:50.400 Iran's nuclear weapons development 0.86

00:26:52.960 program has been smashed.

00:26:56.180 Zoran Mamdami is the new face of the

00:26:59.460 Democrat Party, a man who talks about

00:27:01.620 seizing the means of productions.

00:27:04.200 I think he gets that right out of

00:27:05.480 Marx and Engels.

00:27:06.340 A man who talks about defunding the

00:27:09.600 police and opening the jails.

00:27:11.800 I kid you not.

00:27:13.060 The Republican National Committee has

00:27:14.660 five times more cash on hand than the

00:27:17.120 Democrat National Committee, which has

00:27:18.900 to evidently go borrow to stay afloat.

00:27:22.120 Criminal, illegal aliens are being 1.00

00:27:24.600 deported with greater efficiency by

00:27:27.800 that great patriot Tom Homan.

00:27:30.140 President Trump is brokering peace

00:27:32.020 all over, whether it's between the

00:27:34.520 Congo and Rwanda, whether

00:27:36.740 whether it is

00:27:38.000 whether it is any of

00:27:40.900 these world

00:27:42.020 crises that he is bringing peace

00:27:44.700 to states are beginning to defund

00:27:46.920 Planned Parenthood.

00:27:48.620 128 of your Democrat

00:27:50.160 colleagues actually voted against

00:27:51.820 impeaching Donald Trump

00:27:52.960 and white males like David

00:27:55.020 Hogg are being kicked out of 0.99

00:27:56.480 the Democrat Party like dogs. 0.76

00:27:59.040 If you're a Democrat, there's not much 0.94

00:28:00.420 to smile about these days.

00:28:01.660 No, sir.

00:28:03.160 And it goes down to one person.

00:28:05.100 Donald J.

00:28:05.700 Trump, if

00:28:06.820 if could you imagine if Joe Biden was

00:28:09.180 in the White House right now, I

00:28:10.920 guarantee you

00:28:11.740 American boots would be on the ground 0.69

00:28:13.980 and young boys and girls would be losing

00:28:16.140 their life in another endless war.

00:28:18.260 I just can't stress that enough

00:28:20.760 of his ability to

00:28:22.380 to to fix a problem.

00:28:25.600 I was asked by a reporter.

00:28:27.340 I said early on about his negotiating

00:28:30.180 skills, I said the guy deals

00:28:32.240 with Teamsters in New York City.

00:28:33.780 I said, I think he can handle

00:28:35.120 the Middle East.

00:28:36.240 I mean, seriously, there's no question.

00:28:38.860 No, there's no question.

00:28:40.460 He's handled that deal

00:28:41.800 and he handles it with

00:28:42.860 with honestly a little

00:28:44.780 a lot of grace, really,

00:28:46.100 considering.

00:28:47.080 And when he dropped

00:28:47.660 his F-bomb

00:28:48.340 last week

00:28:49.480 about

00:28:50.120 about the Middle East,

00:28:52.160 I was in the

00:28:53.380 I talked to a lot of Democrats

00:28:55.880 and especially in the gym,

00:28:57.380 you know, there's no cameras,

00:28:58.980 nobody's staff,

00:28:59.900 nobody around.

00:29:01.020 And they

00:29:01.940 they thought that was a very

00:29:03.520 a very accurate statement

00:29:05.500 and it needed to be said.

00:29:07.380 And, you know,

00:29:08.520 I think it summed it up.

00:29:10.080 I know Franklin Graham

00:29:11.040 doesn't like all his cursing

00:29:12.280 and I'm frankly,

00:29:13.400 I'm not a fan of it,

00:29:14.480 but it

00:29:14.820 it was

00:29:15.700 it was accurate.

00:29:16.860 You can't say anything other

00:29:17.860 than it was accurate.

00:29:18.700 And he

00:29:19.260 he called it

00:29:20.220 and if it wasn't for him,

00:29:21.880 we would be in a heart

00:29:23.120 we would be in another

00:29:23.820 endless war.

00:29:24.620 And peace is breaking out

00:29:26.360 everywhere.

00:29:27.460 And

00:29:27.940 the only people

00:29:29.440 that are winning

00:29:30.000 in the so-called

00:29:30.740 Democrat Party

00:29:31.480 are Marxists.

00:29:32.660 Because

00:29:32.840 and my theory on that

00:29:34.200 is,

00:29:34.520 is that they

00:29:35.040 you can

00:29:36.620 say what you want to

00:29:37.820 about it,

00:29:38.180 but this is my theory.

00:29:39.240 I think that the

00:29:40.240 the Democrats

00:29:42.000 that are in power

00:29:43.460 realize

00:29:44.500 that they're going to

00:29:45.660 lose everything

00:29:46.620 and they

00:29:47.940 they

00:29:48.440 they fear more

00:29:49.500 losing their job

00:29:50.440 than losing the country.

00:29:51.720 So they'll go

00:29:52.640 with that far left

00:29:53.820 that is just a very

00:29:55.060 slim

00:29:55.940 very slim

00:29:57.860 portion of

00:29:58.900 of their numbers

00:29:59.980 and they'll sacrifice

00:30:01.400 their moderate

00:30:02.080 their moderate

00:30:03.540 members

00:30:04.460 on the altar

00:30:05.700 of

00:30:06.060 of

00:30:06.420 of

00:30:07.060 liberalism

00:30:07.640 Marxist woke

00:30:08.500 wokeism really.

00:30:10.200 And

00:30:10.220 and that's exactly

00:30:11.660 what they're doing.

00:30:12.420 You're going to see

00:30:12.920 a lot of those people

00:30:13.740 are going to get beat

00:30:14.600 and

00:30:15.520 and Republicans

00:30:16.320 and I hope

00:30:16.940 what I hope is

00:30:18.040 I hope that we have

00:30:19.000 MAGA Republicans

00:30:20.040 that we start electing

00:30:21.340 and quit with this

00:30:22.560 shenanigans

00:30:23.120 that some of our

00:30:23.920 former leadership

00:30:24.640 did by undercutting

00:30:26.540 those type of

00:30:28.040 of leaders

00:30:29.020 because that's exactly

00:30:30.180 what happened

00:30:30.840 in the past.

00:30:31.940 You know,

00:30:32.120 I'd go to these

00:30:32.720 recruiting things

00:30:33.720 that look like

00:30:34.280 we were recruiting

00:30:35.400 for Hooters

00:30:36.420 waitresses

00:30:36.980 and not members

00:30:37.980 of Congress

00:30:38.520 and

00:30:38.860 and

00:30:39.260 and that

00:30:40.640 America did not 0.95

00:30:41.680 respond very well

00:30:42.580 to that.

00:30:43.500 And

00:30:43.520 and that's why

00:30:44.580 we have such

00:30:45.080 and one other thing 0.90

00:30:46.060 and I'll shut up 0.65

00:30:47.120 because it's your show

00:30:48.120 but the

00:30:49.280 you know

00:30:50.180 I keep saying this

00:30:50.980 our approval rating

00:30:52.140 is in the dumps

00:30:53.580 or Congress is

00:30:54.480 for good reason

00:30:55.320 but Donald Trump's

00:30:57.240 is soaring

00:30:58.380 and the reason is

00:30:59.500 he listened to America

00:31:00.940 and he's doing

00:31:01.740 what they said

00:31:02.540 strong border

00:31:03.860 strong economy

00:31:05.080 strong military

00:31:06.240 America bows

00:31:07.680 to no one

00:31:08.320 in this world

00:31:08.860 right now.

00:31:09.460 We are the envy

00:31:10.580 of the world

00:31:11.300 once again

00:31:12.140 and it's because

00:31:13.260 of Trump

00:31:13.800 and if we do not

00:31:14.860 acknowledge those issues

00:31:16.160 we will continue

00:31:17.280 to be in a

00:31:18.360 three or four person

00:31:19.300 majority

00:31:19.740 or possibly

00:31:20.640 even lose

00:31:21.320 the majority

00:31:21.820 to the Marxist.

00:31:23.060 Yeah I think

00:31:24.360 we're going to

00:31:24.920 defy history

00:31:25.680 as you know

00:31:26.220 traditionally

00:31:26.780 the party

00:31:28.060 in power

00:31:28.940 loses seats

00:31:30.020 in the off year

00:31:30.620 elections

00:31:31.000 but traditionally

00:31:32.140 businessmen

00:31:33.420 don't get elected

00:31:34.020 president of the United States

00:31:35.260 all of our presidents

00:31:36.340 have been governors

00:31:37.440 or senators

00:31:38.100 or congressmen

00:31:39.020 or generals

00:31:39.860 so I think

00:31:40.920 Trump

00:31:41.420 all of the

00:31:42.380 of the

00:31:43.200 of the

00:31:43.900 the standard

00:31:45.820 rules of

00:31:46.700 American politics

00:31:47.520 the conventional

00:31:48.220 wisdom

00:31:48.920 if you will

00:31:49.360 I think

00:31:49.940 all of that

00:31:50.500 is does not

00:31:51.200 apply to Donald

00:31:52.580 J. Trump

00:31:53.000 presidents

00:31:53.480 aren't defeated

00:31:54.460 and then

00:31:55.900 lose a disputed

00:31:57.300 election

00:31:57.640 and return

00:31:58.080 to the White House

00:31:58.640 with one exception

00:31:59.400 Grover Cleveland

00:32:00.600 a Democrat

00:32:01.740 who happened

00:32:02.600 to be like

00:32:03.100 Donald Trump

00:32:03.660 from New York

00:32:04.300 actually last

00:32:05.360 of the great

00:32:05.780 conservative

00:32:06.240 Democrats

00:32:06.840 a truly

00:32:07.320 great president

00:32:08.000 it is

00:32:09.580 it is

00:32:10.240 amazing

00:32:11.220 how Trump

00:32:11.800 defies

00:32:12.280 all the rules

00:32:13.060 and changes

00:32:14.120 the whole

00:32:15.600 game side

00:32:17.520 of American

00:32:18.140 politics

00:32:18.720 I honestly

00:32:20.040 think

00:32:20.500 that when

00:32:21.920 he survived

00:32:23.280 an assassin's

00:32:24.300 bullet

00:32:24.540 in Butler

00:32:24.960 Pennsylvania

00:32:25.540 that it gave him

00:32:28.140 a new urgency

00:32:29.340 not just a new

00:32:30.480 serenity

00:32:31.020 because I found

00:32:31.780 him much calmer

00:32:32.580 and much more

00:32:33.480 determined after that

00:32:34.620 but it also gave him

00:32:35.940 a much greater

00:32:37.120 sense of urgency

00:32:38.280 I think he fully

00:32:39.640 understands

00:32:40.360 that he has

00:32:41.560 four years

00:32:42.460 to save

00:32:43.240 this country

00:32:43.980 and he is not

00:32:45.300 wasting

00:32:45.700 not a single

00:32:47.240 minute of it

00:32:48.260 having spoken to him

00:32:49.620 a couple times

00:32:50.300 extraordinarily late

00:32:51.420 at night

00:32:51.740 or I should say

00:32:52.320 early in the morning

00:32:53.400 he is not wasting

00:32:54.480 a single minute

00:32:56.040 of his time

00:32:57.180 in this Herculean

00:32:58.920 effort

00:32:59.240 to like

00:33:00.280 turn around

00:33:00.780 an ocean liner

00:33:01.480 to change

00:33:02.340 the entire direction

00:33:03.340 of the country

00:33:03.900 to return us

00:33:05.040 to our fundamental

00:33:05.960 constitutional roots

00:33:07.280 and to secure

00:33:08.700 that golden age

00:33:09.740 that you and I

00:33:10.180 have talked

00:33:10.500 so much about

00:33:11.280 folks if you're

00:33:12.240 just tuning in

00:33:13.260 we're talking

00:33:14.000 to Congressman

00:33:15.460 Tim Burchett

00:33:16.340 from East Tennessee

00:33:17.260 he is a former

00:33:19.320 mayor of Knox County 0.81

00:33:20.800 he is a bulldog

00:33:22.640 defender of the

00:33:23.620 American taxpayers

00:33:24.480 as well as the

00:33:25.460 taxpayers of Tennessee

00:33:26.320 he also is a guy

00:33:27.340 who tells it

00:33:28.140 exactly like it is

00:33:29.320 you're in the

00:33:30.440 stone zone

00:33:31.040 with Tim and I

00:33:31.840 whatever you do

00:33:32.340 please don't touch

00:33:33.020 that dial

00:33:33.540 because we'll be

00:33:34.820 right back

00:33:35.580 for a bit more

00:33:36.380 The Stone Zone

00:33:38.440 entertaining and

00:33:40.200 informative

00:33:40.740 on the Red Apple

00:33:41.860 Podcast Network

00:33:43.220 The Stone Zone

00:33:50.900 entertaining and

00:33:52.620 informative

00:33:53.160 on the Red Apple

00:33:54.300 Podcast Network

00:33:55.420 and we're back

00:33:57.080 in the Stone Zone

00:33:58.120 Congressman Tim

00:33:59.380 Burchett and I

00:34:00.120 are celebrating

00:34:00.820 the passage

00:34:01.920 by the U.S.

00:34:02.900 House of the

00:34:03.420 big beautiful bill

00:34:04.520 and Tim I

00:34:06.240 saw on X

00:34:07.080 that you received

00:34:08.000 a copy of my

00:34:09.060 book The Man

00:34:09.580 Who Killed

00:34:09.940 Kennedy

00:34:10.300 The Case

00:34:10.980 Against LBJ

00:34:11.860 I hope you're

00:34:12.760 enjoying the book

00:34:13.520 it certainly is an

00:34:14.400 outline of the

00:34:15.480 shenanigans of

00:34:17.240 the deep state

00:34:18.140 I spoke earlier

00:34:19.280 in the show

00:34:19.860 about the

00:34:20.840 revelations from

00:34:21.580 CIA Director

00:34:22.400 John Radcliffe

00:34:23.120 yesterday

00:34:23.620 implicating

00:34:24.680 former CIA

00:34:25.520 Director

00:34:25.920 John Brennan

00:34:26.800 former National

00:34:28.300 Security Advisor

00:34:29.100 James Clapper

00:34:29.980 and FBI Director

00:34:32.260 James Comey

00:34:33.380 in orchestrating

00:34:34.740 the greatest

00:34:36.620 single dirty

00:34:37.700 trick in American 0.51

00:34:38.660 political history

00:34:39.460 the Russian

00:34:40.340 collusion hoax

00:34:41.460 which was

00:34:41.900 nothing less

00:34:43.160 than an abuse

00:34:43.680 of power

00:34:44.220 in which they

00:34:44.940 used the full

00:34:45.740 authority of the

00:34:46.420 United States

00:34:46.880 government

00:34:47.320 and the

00:34:48.120 extraordinary

00:34:48.520 capability of

00:34:49.760 our intelligence

00:34:50.260 agencies

00:34:50.900 to try to

00:34:51.840 undo an

00:34:52.520 American election

00:34:53.220 and remove a

00:34:54.620 duly elected

00:34:55.220 president

00:34:55.660 so I guess

00:34:56.120 my question

00:34:56.600 to you is

00:34:57.480 are we ever

00:34:59.080 going to see

00:34:59.680 justice

00:35:00.260 are any of

00:35:01.280 these people

00:35:01.920 who have

00:35:02.520 engaged in

00:35:03.440 a treasonous

00:35:04.280 crime

00:35:04.680 crime for

00:35:05.360 which there

00:35:05.640 is no

00:35:05.920 statute of

00:35:06.380 limitations

00:35:06.820 do you think

00:35:07.540 we will ever

00:35:08.080 see anybody

00:35:08.780 held accountable

00:35:09.600 I doubt it

00:35:11.620 I doubt it

00:35:12.600 I just

00:35:13.080 because this

00:35:15.220 town is so

00:35:15.920 crooked Mr.

00:35:16.700 Stone and

00:35:17.180 they protect

00:35:17.760 their own

00:35:18.380 and I just

00:35:20.900 it infuriates

00:35:22.580 me that's why

00:35:23.260 that's why I

00:35:24.540 know there's a

00:35:24.960 God in heaven

00:35:25.620 because there

00:35:26.360 will be justice

00:35:27.000 one day

00:35:27.580 I just don't

00:35:28.240 think it's

00:35:28.560 going to be

00:35:28.800 on this

00:35:29.120 side of the

00:35:29.500 grave for

00:35:30.000 most of

00:35:30.540 them I

00:35:30.860 think they're

00:35:31.180 going to

00:35:31.380 lawyer up

00:35:32.020 and yeah

00:35:32.340 they'll get

00:35:32.740 some small

00:35:33.360 potatoes like

00:35:34.180 you saw at

00:35:34.820 the auto

00:35:37.020 pen debacle

00:35:38.580 at the

00:35:38.920 White House

00:35:39.460 but you know

00:35:41.220 some small

00:35:41.740 potatoes get

00:35:42.460 smashed but

00:35:44.620 the reality is

00:35:45.880 I just don't

00:35:46.700 see it but

00:35:47.460 what I would

00:35:48.320 hope that would

00:35:49.220 drive Americans 0.97

00:35:50.840 to the polls

00:35:51.640 and say we've

00:35:52.980 got to fix

00:35:53.500 this and you

00:35:54.460 all would hold

00:35:55.020 us accountable

00:35:55.720 I mean I'll

00:35:56.720 vote for it

00:35:57.340 I'll push

00:35:57.960 it but I'm

00:35:59.360 not you know

00:35:59.980 I'm not on

00:36:00.420 the judiciary

00:36:00.820 committee and

00:36:01.940 I'm not one

00:36:02.420 of those that's

00:36:03.300 you know that

00:36:04.400 that's a little

00:36:05.420 out of my realm

00:36:06.160 but I would

00:36:06.880 hope that we

00:36:07.680 would all I

00:36:08.480 can do is

00:36:08.860 raise hell

00:36:09.360 about it and

00:36:10.000 hopefully Jamie

00:36:11.500 Comer will bring

00:36:12.520 it up in our

00:36:13.000 committee and

00:36:13.740 then we will

00:36:14.220 have it as a

00:36:15.140 and then we

00:36:16.400 will push the

00:36:16.960 justice department

00:36:17.740 to do something

00:36:18.360 about it so I

00:36:19.940 would hope that

00:36:20.460 that we could do

00:36:21.060 that because once

00:36:21.580 you do one the

00:36:23.060 rest you know

00:36:23.940 they'll lawyer

00:36:24.420 up and they'll

00:36:25.040 start squealing

00:36:25.760 they'll squeal

00:36:26.540 like stuffed 0.65

00:36:27.200 pigs and

00:36:28.340 that would be a

00:36:31.000 good start I

00:36:31.660 would think

00:36:32.080 I completely

00:36:33.720 and totally

00:36:34.360 agree so you

00:36:35.620 have a new

00:36:36.180 podcast entitled

00:36:37.740 Unscripted where

00:36:39.000 you'll be peering

00:36:39.600 behind the veil in

00:36:40.540 Washington DC

00:36:41.140 how will those

00:36:42.840 listening be able

00:36:43.480 to access your

00:36:44.180 show and what

00:36:45.900 have you planned

00:36:46.480 for the initial

00:36:47.440 episode

00:36:47.960 yes sir it's on

00:36:49.900 YouTube and

00:36:50.680 Rumble and I

00:36:52.820 would honestly

00:36:53.260 love to get

00:36:53.780 you on there

00:36:54.360 are you in

00:36:55.260 New York is

00:36:55.840 that where you

00:36:56.260 are I am

00:36:57.420 actually in

00:36:58.020 South Florida at

00:36:58.720 this moment but

00:36:59.280 I'd be honored to

00:36:59.980 be on we can

00:37:00.520 arrange that I

00:37:01.520 would I would

00:37:02.100 love to I'd go

00:37:03.560 to South Florida

00:37:04.240 see honestly I

00:37:05.560 could I could see

00:37:06.420 myself my wife and

00:37:07.740 daughter love the

00:37:09.080 love the sun and

00:37:10.260 they love the surf

00:37:11.020 so that would be a

00:37:11.840 great thing and I

00:37:12.620 would but yeah it's

00:37:14.900 on YouTube and

00:37:16.060 Rumble and we are

00:37:17.200 you know I'm not I'm

00:37:19.000 not real polished and

00:37:20.000 I'm not I guess I'm

00:37:21.000 not a wordsmith like

00:37:22.320 you and so it's

00:37:23.960 it's it's I

00:37:25.860 stumbled through it

00:37:26.580 a little bit but

00:37:27.280 people seem to enjoy

00:37:28.360 it and they get a

00:37:29.220 lot from it and

00:37:30.360 we're going to

00:37:30.760 start getting some

00:37:32.680 people and making

00:37:33.300 some people

00:37:33.800 uncomfortable and

00:37:34.920 that's that's my

00:37:35.580 goal you know and

00:37:36.840 I don't give me a

00:37:38.480 little script but I

00:37:39.260 never follow it I

00:37:40.080 don't know why I

00:37:40.580 pay those people to

00:37:41.720 do any of that

00:37:42.220 stuff because I

00:37:42.980 just I get in

00:37:43.640 there and get

00:37:44.180 ticked off about

00:37:44.900 something and I'll

00:37:45.540 start railing on

00:37:46.360 it and we'll start

00:37:46.980 digging and that's

00:37:48.340 that's what I intend

00:37:49.780 to do with this

00:37:50.460 thing I you know I

00:37:52.080 it's it's

00:37:53.420 sometimes kind of

00:37:54.200 difficult to get

00:37:54.840 people that are

00:37:55.420 interesting because

00:37:56.040 it seems like

00:37:56.380 everybody's got a

00:37:57.080 podcast but it's a

00:37:58.040 great way to meet to

00:37:59.300 reach out to the

00:38:00.640 younger folks and I

00:38:01.680 think as older

00:38:04.020 politicians like

00:38:05.000 yourself and myself

00:38:05.760 you know it's not all

00:38:06.560 bluegrass and barbecue

00:38:08.940 it's a it's a it's it's

00:38:12.560 it's the social media

00:38:14.060 it's it's these radio
