Hunter Biden is on a shameless media blitz promoting his latest documentary while resurrecting the same tired conspiracy theories that collapsed years ago and concocting some new ones. This time, Hunter claims that the infamous laptop was somehow a collection of fabricated mixtapes by a cast of villains that supposedly includes Rudy Giuliani, the Russians, his former psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Abloh, and me.
00:00:00.000this is the stone zone with roger stone people love him and respect him roger stone
00:00:16.540now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:00:22.560You are now entering the Stone Zone with all the latest political news.
00:00:31.680Well, Hunter Biden is at it once again, attempting to rewrite one of the most thoroughly documented political scandals in modern American history.
00:00:40.580As Miranda Devine reported in the New York Post, Hunter is now on a shameless media blitz promoting his latest documentary while resurrecting the same tired conspiracy theories that collapsed years ago and concocting some new ones.
00:00:57.380This time, Hunter claims that the infamous laptop was somehow a transformation into a collection of fabricated mixtapes by a cast of villains that supposedly includes Rudy Giuliani, the Russians, his former psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Abloh, and me.
00:01:44.320Everything I know about Hunter Biden's laptop, I learned by reading the New York Post and Miranda Devine's two bestselling books,
00:01:52.380laptop from hell and the big guy just as millions of other Americans did. Hunter's efforts to now
00:02:00.000lump me into this fictional narrative is nothing more than an attempt to manufacture villains
00:02:05.640because he simply can't escape the facts. Those facts are not in dispute. Hunter Biden abandoned
00:02:13.400the laptop at John Paul McIsaac's repair shop in Delaware in April of 2019. When it was never
00:02:21.080reclaimed, Mac Isaacs, ultimately turned the device over to the FBI. The FBI investigators
00:02:28.020possessed that laptop for months before the story became public. Independent forensic examinations
00:02:35.340concluded that the data was authentic. The laptop itself was later introduced as evidence during
00:02:43.160Hunter Biden's federal gun prosecution. His own attorneys never succeeded in proving that it was
00:02:50.000fabricated, and that's because, well, it wasn't. Contents have been corroborated repeatedly by
00:02:56.020emails, text messages, financial records, photographs, videos, witness testimony,
00:03:03.220congressional investigations, and subsequent reporting. Those facts are not conspiracy
00:03:08.520theories. They're facts. Yet Hunter continues insisting that somehow everyone else is lying,
00:03:14.700and he's the only one who's telling the truth. Frankly, that strategy may work in Hollywood
00:03:19.980documentaries financed by wealthy benefactors eager to rehabilitate his reputation. It may
00:03:26.620appeal to sympathetic podcast hosts and friendly interviews who have never challenged his claims.
00:03:33.160It may even satisfy those who desperately want history written, but it cannot change reality.
00:03:38.780The laptop revealed embarrassing details about Hunter Biden's personal life, but it also exposed serious questions surrounding his overseas business dealings, his relationship with foreign interests, and the extraordinary access that appeared to accompany the Biden family name.
00:03:56.400Those issues deserve scrutiny then, and frankly, they deserve scrutiny now.
00:04:01.040Instead of addressing those questions honestly, Hunter Biden has now chosen a familiar strategy.
00:04:07.740Attack the messengers, invent conspiracies, and accuse innocent people of participating in some elaborate political plot.
00:04:16.680Well, I refuse to allow my name to be used as part of that fiction.
00:04:21.060The irony is impossible here to ignore.
00:04:23.280For years, Hunter Biden and his political allies insisted the laptop was, quote-unquote, Russian disinformation.
00:04:32.220That claim has collapsed under the weight of overwhelming evidence.
00:04:36.280The authenticity of the device has been established repeatedly.
00:04:40.500Even major news organizations that once dismissed the story were eventually forced to acknowledge the truth of it.
00:04:46.760Now that the Russian disinformation narrative has failed, Hunter Biden has simply invented a new one.
00:04:53.280Apparently, facts are flexible whenever they become politically inconvenient.
00:05:04.160But neither addiction nor recovery erases documentary evidence.
00:05:09.400Neither does it change emails that were sent, business transactions that occurred, photographs that exist, or records that may have been authenticated.
00:05:17.840Nor does it justify falsely accusing people who had absolutely nothing to do with the laptop.
00:05:25.800Americans have watched this saga unfold for years.
00:05:29.140They're perfectly capable of distinguishing between verified evidence and public relations.
00:05:34.760History should be written from facts, not from documentaries designed to salvage someone's damaged reputation.
00:05:41.860Hunter Biden may be able to rewrite his script, but he cannot rewrite history.
00:05:46.900Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is expected to address newly declassified intelligence concerning alleged foreign efforts to interfere in the 2020 election during a nationally televised speech Thursday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
00:06:03.860I'm in Washington, D.C. today, and frankly, the entire town is buzzing about it.
00:06:08.760According to reports, a new White House task force has been reviewing thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement records for evidence of election irregularities and foreign influence.
00:06:22.640Officials are reportedly preparing to release documents in the coming weeks.
00:06:26.600President Trump is expected to appear alongside senior national security officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Cash Pastel, and other administration leaders.
00:06:39.380Now, this announcement follows renewed federal scrutiny of election operations in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:06:47.520Earlier this year, the FBI searched the county elections office while the Justice Department
00:06:52.980sought information involving personnel who handled mail ballots, voter review panels,
00:06:59.860mobile voting locations, ballot transportation, recounts, audits, and precinct management.
00:07:06.680The American people have been told for years to stop asking questions about the 2020 presidential election.
00:07:12.400but ignoring the criminal acts that I believe took place here is akin to spitting on the
00:07:17.200graves of the founding fathers. This really must be clarified. Otherwise, nothing will ever prevent
00:07:22.480them from doing it again the next chance they get. There must be consequences for these malicious
00:07:27.840actions. Now that intelligence agencies evidently possess evidence showing that foreign governments
00:07:33.940and domestic actors attempted to manipulate, influence, or disrupt the 2020 presidential
00:07:40.760election, well, the public deserves to see it and heads must roll. Officials who conceal
00:07:46.560information or mislead Congress should be thrown in prison for lengthy sentences after standing
00:07:52.860trial and getting convicted. Thursday's speech could mark an important step towards restoring
00:07:57.600trust in the election system. America cannot secure future elections while refusing to fully
00:08:04.080investigate the past. Release the documents, follow the evidence, and let the truth speak for itself.
00:08:10.120That's the only way faith and an authentic democracy within our Constitutional Republic can ever be restored.
00:08:17.360Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has formally notified Congress that the U.S. military operations against Iran have resumed
00:08:25.060as American forces launch a third consecutive night of strikes against the regime's missile sites, air defenses, coastal radar, and drone capabilities.0.93
00:08:34.920You have to admit it, Donald Trump gave peace a chance, but the Iranians could not live up to the MOU they signed.0.82
00:08:42.160I'm convinced they signed it only to buy time.0.99
00:08:44.840The White House now says that more than 140 Iranian military targets were hit over this past weekend.
00:08:51.960Iran answered by attacking U.S.-linked facilities across the Gulf and threatening commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:08:59.100Iranian forces have fired warning shots, targeted vessels, and claim that the strait is closed, while American protection has kept the waterway open.
00:09:07.760Oil prices are surging as the danger spreads.
00:09:11.440Reports of Houthi missile attacks on Saudi Arabia show that Tehran's proxies are threatening America's allies, global trade, and the world's energy supply.
00:09:21.580President Trump says Iran broke another agreement will now be hit hard.
00:09:25.200He has also reinstated a blockade of Iranian ports, making it clear that the United States will not tolerate threats, stall tactics, or broken promises.
00:09:34.980You know, for decades, America's foreign policy establishment treated Iran as a difficult negotiating partner.
00:09:44.240This is a radical regime that uses terrorism, missiles, proxies, and economic blackmail whenever diplomacy buys it time.0.98
00:09:52.880Iran's erratic behavior is proving President Trump is right.0.99
00:09:56.420Half measures will only postpone the next crisis.1.00
00:09:59.020The United States should decisively destroy Iran's ability to threaten American forces, close international waterways, or terrorize its neighbors.0.96
00:10:08.060Peace will not come from another paper agreement.0.96
00:10:11.000It will come when Iran's radically Islamic military machine can no longer endanger the free world.0.95
00:10:17.640Meanwhile, South Carolina has a new interim U.S. senator.0.98
00:10:21.420The appointment is both fitting and personal.
00:10:24.920Governor Henry McMaster, a friend of mine since he was a U.S. attorney under President Ronald Reagan,
00:10:31.180has selected Darlene Graham Norton, the younger sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham,
00:10:37.960to temporarily fill his seat until voters choose a permanent replacement this November, a special election.
00:10:45.240Norton says she will work to complete her brother's unfinished business,
00:10:48.980support President Trump, and serve the people of South Carolina.
00:10:53.020Her appointment was preceded by a recommendation from President Trump,
00:10:57.760who called it a tribute to the brother who helped raise her after their parents died.
00:11:03.340It is a moving American story, really.
00:11:05.960Lindsey Graham stood by his sister through family tragedy,
00:11:08.900and now she's stepping forward to honor his memory and carry on his public service.
00:11:13.700So I say congratulations to Senator Norton as she takes on this responsibility during a difficult moment for her family and her state.
00:11:23.280But South Carolina Republicans must also keep their eyes on the future.
00:11:27.480An interim appointment is meaningful as a tribute, but not a substitute for long-term proven conservative leadership.
00:11:35.860The next senator, whoever he or she may be, should have incredible MAGA credentials.
00:11:41.400They must be strong constitutional conservatives who will vote to secure the border, defend America's energy independence, support law enforcement, confront China, protect the unborn, and put the interests of American citizens first with total consistency.
00:11:59.120Voters should demand more than familiar rhetoric or establishment promises.
00:12:04.040This seat has been held by only two men in nearly 70 years, the late Strom Thurmond and then, of course, Lindsey Graham.
00:12:12.960South Carolina now has an opportunity to choose a senator who will stand with President Trump and fight for the America First agenda for decades to come.
00:12:22.960That person must emerge during the upcoming special election.
00:12:27.680Meanwhile, a major alleged financier of America's military far left is facing consequences for his evil subversive activities
00:12:36.840Jim Fergie Chambers, heir to the Cox Media fortune, and a self-described communist
00:12:43.560Was arrested in Ibiza at the request of the U.S. Justice Department
00:12:47.760He's awaiting possible extradition on federal charges involving international money laundering
00:12:53.580and alleged effort to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations.
00:12:59.580Prosecutors allege that Chambers moved millions of dollars from American banks
00:13:03.760to accounts in Tunisia after leaving the United States in 2023.
00:13:08.900Reports say investigators are examining whether those funds intended to support Abbas
00:14:19.740this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell
00:14:34.500but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but
00:14:40.840people love him and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone
00:14:46.400And we're back in the Stone Zone. A federal appeals court has revived hundreds of lawsuits accusing Tylenol manufacturer Kenview of failing to disclose risks for autism and other developmental disorders connected to Tylenol use during pregnancy.
00:15:05.280This is a welcome development for accountability against big pharma.
00:15:10.940The second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a trial judge went too far by excluding testimony from three expert witnesses and effectively shutting down roughly 500 cases.
00:15:23.320The appeals panel said the experts used recognized scientific methods and the disagreements over the research should be examined through the legal process, not dismissed before plaintiffs can even make their case.
00:15:35.280The ruling does not establish that Tylenol causes autism, ADHD, or other serious developmental conditions.
00:15:43.840Kenview continues to deny any casual connection and says independent research supports the medicine's safety,
00:15:50.680but that is precisely why evidence should be tested openly in court,
00:15:54.640with documents reviewed, witnesses questioned, and corporate conduct subjected to scrutiny.
00:16:00.440President Trump previously urged pregnant women to avoid Tylenol and called for stronger warnings, bringing national attention to questions that the financial and big pharma establishment had too often brushed aside.
00:16:14.300Internal communications reported in the media have also suggested that some company researchers recognized growing concerns years ago.
00:16:22.520Americans have watched pharmaceutical giants collect enormous profits while enjoying extraordinary political influence and limited accountability.
00:16:29.780For decades, no questioning of Big Pharma was allowed within the federal government as they had totally captured the FDA and other bureaucracies.
00:16:39.080Families deserve transparency, honest risk disclosures, and the right to have legitimate claims heard.
00:16:45.100This decision is a victory for due process and public accountability.
00:16:50.160It shows that Big Pharma no longer owns our system.
00:16:53.280The individuals who've had their lives destroyed and watched their children suffer because of Big Pharma's products will now have their day in court.
00:17:03.260When we come back, we'll talk about Graham Plattner.
00:17:06.540He is the failed Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine.
00:17:11.340And as you're going to learn, he was shielded by Big Tech.
00:17:16.120It's disgraceful as to how they covered for this man, but now he's crashed and burned.
00:17:21.100And that makes it much more difficult for Democrats to have any shot at winning the U.S. Senate.
00:17:27.960Maine is one of the few blue states represented by a Republican senator, Susan Collins.
00:18:13.540but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong,
00:18:17.580and people love him. Not everybody, but people love him and respect him. Roger Stone. Where's
00:18:22.680Roger Stone? Here's Roger Stone. And you're back in the Stone Zone, the hottest political show on
00:18:30.760radio today. As the Graham Plattner debacle in Maine unwinds, it begs the question, how did it
00:18:38.400get so far? How was a man this disgraceful, this disreputable, and this unqualified able to win a
00:18:45.540major party primary. He actually drove the sitting Democrat governor of Maine out of the race.
00:18:53.520The answer has something to do with big tech censorship. You see, a new media research
00:18:58.560center study shows that Apple News and Google News deliberately protected Plattner from
00:19:04.680damaging coverage while he remained politically useful. According to the Watchdoor organization,
00:19:10.820the two platforms largely failed to surface negative reporting about the former main candidate, Graham Plattner, between November 2025 and May of 2026.
00:19:22.820During that period, numerous other outlets published stories involving his Nazi tattoo, his offensive online posts, his accusations by many of sexual assault and abuse.
00:19:37.000There were other controversies as well.
00:19:38.780The MRC says that Apple and Google overlooked at least 112 negative stories.
00:19:45.640The blackout reportedly ended only after the New York Times published a May 30th report about a sexting controversy, which triggered broader scrutiny.
00:19:56.120MRC President David Bozell argues that the platforms buried damaging information while Platinum appeared capable of defeating Republican Senator Susan Collins,
00:20:07.040then allowed the negative coverage against Plattner to spread
00:20:10.940only after it became a political liability
00:20:13.760and it became clear that he could not win
00:20:16.500Google of course denies the charges and calls the study's methodology flawed
00:20:21.620insisting that its news results are updated constantly
00:20:25.340and shaped by user interests and location
00:20:29.200Plattner later ended his campaign after multiple women accused him of
00:20:33.840sexual misconduct, abuse, and even rape.
00:20:37.740Plattler denied wrongdoing, but Democrat support rapidly collapsed1.00
00:20:41.720and he was thrown out like a bag of trash.0.99
00:20:44.840The larger issue is bigger than one pathetic failed candidate in Maine.1.00
00:20:49.300Apple and Google exercise enormous influence0.96
00:20:52.040over what millions of Americans see, or more importantly, never see.
00:20:57.340When powerful technology companies control the flow of political information,
00:21:01.400Even the appearance of partisan suppression demands investigation
00:21:06.160Common sense voters have warned for years that big tech can quietly shape elections
00:21:11.260This case is another reason why the Trump administration must enforce platform neutrality
00:21:16.580To ensure that voters receive the full story before, not after, Election Day
00:21:22.220Meanwhile, Mission Democrat Senator Elisa Slotkin is again under fire
00:21:27.380after claiming that the Save America Act would disenfranchise all married women
00:21:33.040and make it harder for Democrats to win elections.
00:21:36.360Speaking at a town hall, Slotkin, a former CIA agent,1.00
00:21:40.640argued that married women could face problems proving citizenship
00:21:44.380because their current names may differ from those on their birth certificates.
00:21:49.300Where do they come up with this stuff?
00:21:50.800Republican lawmakers quickly rejected that argument.
00:21:54.100Senator Rand Paul called the claim false and insulting.0.96
00:21:57.380noting that women are fully capable of providing documents proving they're American citizens.0.93
00:22:02.600Senator Mike Lee compared the process to completing an I-9 employment form,
00:22:07.820which millions of Americans already do when starting a job.
00:22:10.780At the heart of this debate is a simple question.
00:22:13.840Should people registering to vote in federal elections be required to prove they're U.S. citizens?
00:22:18.860Republicans say the answer is obviously yes.
00:22:21.480Democrats clearly say the answer is no.
00:22:23.840Citizen verification is not voter suppression.
00:22:27.380It's a basic safeguard that protects legal voters and strengthens confidence in election results.
00:22:33.180Democrats frequently warn that identification and eligibility requirements will reduce participation.
00:22:40.160But evidence from Georgia tells a very different story.
00:22:43.000Following election law changes, early voting actually surged,
00:22:47.160black voter participation increased, and recent primary turnout actually reached record levels.0.99
00:22:53.080Slotkin's rhetoric appears designed to frighten women rather than address the actual legislation at hand, the SAVE Act.0.79
00:22:59.600Married women routinely update names on driver's licenses, passports, tax records, and unemployment documents.0.99
00:23:07.240Protecting elections does not disenfranchise voters.0.74
00:23:11.400It protects their ballots from being diluted by unlawful participation.
00:23:14.960Congress should reject the scare tactics and, in the name of Lindsey Graham, pass strong citizenship verification requirements for federal elections by approving the Save America Act immediately.
00:23:27.580Republican U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona is demanding the shutdown of the National Institute of Health's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana following explosive allegations involving virus smuggling, serious safety breaches, and possible bureaucratic cover-ups.
00:23:45.060Gosar is asking Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya to immediately halt research and permanently wind down that facility, which critics have dubbed Wuhan West because of its connections to the former Director of National Health, Anthony Fauci, and dangerous pathogen experiments.
00:24:09.320The Justice Department has charged two former laboratory researchers with allegedly smugging the activated monkeypox virus samples into the United States.
00:24:20.020A whistleblower has also claimed that officials knew that the activity took place before the federal investigation and they attempted to conceal it.
00:24:29.540Additional allegations involve a monkey bite that reportedly exposed a laboratory employee to Crimean-Congo hemohagic fever, a deadly Ebola-like virus.
00:24:46.140Congressman Gosar says the facility has conducted taxpayer-funded experiments involving bats, monkeys, coronaviruses, Ebola, and other zoonotonic diseases.
00:24:57.280Americans have every right to ask why federal bureaucrats continue fundering dangerous research while hiding behind secrecy whenever something goes wrong.
00:25:08.260After the failures and unanswered questions of the Fauci era, promises of internal reviews are no longer enough.
00:25:15.880Secretary Kennedy and Director Bhattacharya should impose an immediate safety stand-down,
00:25:21.980release all the relevant records, investigate every allegation, and hold responsible officials accountable.
00:25:30.100If the federal government cannot safely manage some of the world's most dangerous pathogens,
00:25:35.160then it has no business experimenting with them.
00:25:38.300Protecting public safety must come before bureaucratic careers, institutional reputations, or Anthony Fauci's legacy.
00:25:45.540And while we're at it, let's lock up Fauci for lying under oath to Congress and crimes against humanity.
00:25:52.640Senator Rand Paul has said repeatedly that Fauci lied about his knowledge of taxpayer funding,
00:25:58.480of the weaponization of the COVID-19 vaccination virus, the COVID virus in the Wuhan lab, and it's time for accountability.
00:26:09.400Meanwhile, Michigan's August 4th Democratic Senate primary has become a major test of whether the party establishment can still restrain its far left progressive or socialist wing,0.79
00:26:20.800or whether socialist politics now control the National Democratic Party future.
00:26:26.480After State Senator Mallory McMorrow dropped out of the race,
00:26:30.540it's now a head-to-head battle between Congressman Haley Stevens,
00:26:34.720an establishment-backed moderate, and Abdul El-Sayed,
00:26:39.140the far-left radical Muslim who's the favorite of Bernie Sanders,
00:26:43.840Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and the United Auto Workers.
00:26:49.720The stakes could hardly be higher, frankly.
00:26:53.120Democrats need to hold the retiring seat of Senator Gary Peters if they hope to regain the Senate.0.91
00:26:59.460Yet El-Sayed supporters supports Medicaid for All.
00:27:03.860He wants to abolish ICE, cut off all aid to Israel, and has previously backed defunding the police.
00:27:10.100He's also campaigned with controversial anti-Semitic far-life streamer Hassan Piker.
00:27:16.640Congressman Stevens, on the other hand, argues that her record of winning Republican territory
00:27:20.800make her the safer choice against strong Republican-nominated former Congressman Mike Rogers.
00:27:27.260Stevens is backed by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer's allies, former Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow,
00:27:34.000former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, and millions in outside spending.
00:27:41.880This is a referendum on whether Democrats still care about electability in a battleground state that President Trump carried twice, or whether ideological activists will push the party even further left.
00:27:55.040If El-Sayed wins, the Socialist win will claim another scout, and Republicans will gain a powerful argument that today's Democrat party has abandoned the center.
00:28:07.320Michigan Democrat voters are about to reveal whether the establishment still has control
00:28:12.040or whether the radical socialists, who are actually Marxists, are now running the show.
00:28:18.140The result will echo far beyond Michigan and shape the national midterms.
00:28:24.260While Democrats going crazy bodes well for Republicans,
00:28:27.620we can't be arrogant and take radicals like El Sayad for granted.
00:28:31.780They will say anything to get elected, and we can't get complacent.
00:28:35.020We must go the extra mile to make sure the cancer of socialism does not spread across the country.
00:28:41.000It is important to note, however, that the socialist victories are not limited to urban areas like New York.
00:28:46.980In recent days, a veteran Democrat congresswoman in Colorado was defeated.
00:28:52.120Now these contests in Michigan will tell us whether the old Democrat Party, the party of John F. Kennedy, the party of Harry Truman,
00:28:59.580The party that believed in capitalism, free enterprise, God, a strong national defense, and was anti-communist still exists.
00:29:09.740Meanwhile, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is taking a long overdue step to protect America's national security
00:29:16.420by creating a joint Pentagon Justice Department task force to identify and prosecute officials who leak sensitive information to the media.
00:29:26.480Hagseth says the Pentagon's Office of General Counsel will now have broad authority to obtain records, support, and information across the department for leak investigations.
00:29:52.080Unauthorized leaks can expose military operations, endanger American troops,
00:29:57.480compromise intelligence sources, and hand valuable information to hospital governments.
00:30:03.500Yet Washington has spent years treating politically motivated leaking as a harmless insider sport,
00:30:09.540especially when those leaks damage Republican administrations.
00:30:13.020Hague says long overdue actions demonstrate that freedom of the press does not give government officials
00:30:18.720permission to steal and disclose protected national security information. The focus must
00:30:25.280remain on the officials who violated their oaths, not on creating some excuse for bureaucratic
00:30:30.300sabotage. Pete Hegseth has also faced resistance over tighter Pentagon press rules, and courts
00:30:37.100will continue to define those constitutional limits. It may not be easy to bring the leakers
00:30:42.780to justice, but Hegseth nevertheless remains dedicated to the task. After all, many of those
00:30:49.240who undermine this administration's aims do so with treasonous intent. The Trump administration
00:30:55.000is right to restore discipline, accountability, and consequences inside the national security
00:31:00.820establishment. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order dramatically
00:31:06.360reducing the size of two sprawling national monuments in Utah, restoring millions of acres
00:31:12.260to broader public use and opening the door to responsible energy development.
00:31:17.460The order reduces Grand Staircase Escalante and Bare Ears
00:31:22.340from a combined 3 million acres to roughly 300,000.
00:31:26.900The monuments were created by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama
00:31:30.460under expansive interpretations of the Antiquities Act.
00:31:35.040President Trump said previous administrations had taken land away from the people.
00:31:38.820Utah Governor Spencer Cox praised the decision by Trump, arguing that the Antiquities Act required monumental designations to cover the smallest areas necessary to protect genuine history and cultural sites, not entire regions larger than some states.
00:31:56.520Environmental activists and tribal organizations opposed the reduction,
00:32:00.480warning that bare ears, care contains sacred sites and ancient settlements.
00:32:06.680Those important locations will continue to be protected under President Trump's order.
00:32:10.940But preserving specific treasures does not justify locking up millions of surrounding acres
00:32:16.840from mining, drilling, grazing, recreation, and local economic development.
00:32:22.800The original boundaries covered major coal and uranium deposits while placing enormous power in the hands of distant federal bureaucrats.
00:32:32.100This was designed by the Democrats working to stop development as they slow-road socialism into America.
00:32:38.380This action reflects President Trump's broader American first energy policy.
00:32:42.860We must protect legitimate landmarks, respect state and local communities, yet stop Washington from using environmental designations as permanent land grabs.
00:32:51.960I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone. Don't go away because we'll be right back.
00:32:57.560This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:33:01.180And he's a great, great person. Roger Stone.
00:33:58.700The flock camera controversy continues to engulf America.
00:34:02.780Now there's a disturbing case in Minnesota raising fresh concerns about flock license plate reading cameras
00:34:08.760and the growing abuse of warrantless mass surveillance as the land of the free morphs into a technocratic hellscape right before our very eyes.
00:34:17.640Automotive journalist Joel Fetter was test-driving a Range Rover when four police vehicles surrounded him in a Coles parking lot in Minnesota.
00:34:27.160Officers approached with hands near their weapons, ordered Fetter and his wife out, and subjected him to a pat-down.
00:34:34.460Flock's automated camera system had incorrectly flagged the vehicle's license plate as stolen.
00:34:40.360The actual stolen plate was reported in California as 34-03 DTM.
00:34:47.640but Federer's plate was 34-10 DTM. The system ignored the middle numbers and generated a
00:34:55.640false match. Police had reportedly tracked the vehicle for days before making the stop.
00:35:01.300Federer was fortunate the encounter ended peacefully. Another driver facing the same
00:35:05.920error may not be so lucky. Now, this is far from an isolated incident. In Colorado,
00:35:12.080a woman was accused of stealing a package simply because flopped cameras recorded
00:35:16.700her vehicle entering and leaving a neighborhood near the time of a theft. She was considered
00:35:21.920guilty until proven innocent, thanks to the technology of flock cameras, and had to spend
00:35:27.460considerable resources before the charges were ultimately dropped. These systems can track where
00:35:32.480innocent Americans travel, whom they visit, and how they live, all without a warrant or probable
00:35:38.620cause. Republican U.S. Congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania has called for an end to flock-style0.61
00:35:45.460surveillance, warning that it violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. And he's right.
00:35:52.340Technology should help the police identify criminals, not turn every law-abiding driver
00:35:58.120into a suspect. Dragnet surveillance caused by flop cameras could be weaponized at a moment's
00:36:05.180notice to destroy our civil liberties. Imagine if they were around during the COVID pandemic.0.93
00:36:10.460The psychotic authoritarian lockdowns would have been so much worse.
00:36:15.480It's time to ban flop cameras before the Orwellian nightmare manifests itself completely and Big Brother becomes entirely inescapable.
00:36:25.480Progressive Democrats are preparing a new campaign to impose a national wealth tax on successful Americans,
00:36:32.040turning envy and class warfare into a central issue for the 2026 midterm elections.
00:36:37.820A group called Tax the Greedy Billionaires is pressuring Democratic candidates to support its five-and-dime plan.
00:36:46.380The proposal would seize 5% of household wealth above $50 million and 10% from anybody making more than $250 million every year.
00:36:56.760Supporters claim the tax could raise nearly $7 trillion over a decade.
00:37:01.220But those promises ignore the obvious problems.
00:37:04.700Privately owned companies, farms, real estate, and other assets are difficult to value.
00:37:11.080Wealthy Americans can move money overseas, and a federal wealth tax would face major constitutional challenges.
00:37:18.400This is not simply about asking high earners to pay income taxes.
00:37:22.420It's an annual government claim on property people already own and may have already paid taxes to acquire.
00:37:28.360Yet California Governor Gavin Newsom has opposed a state-level wealth tax warning that wealthy residents would simply leave and take investments, business, and their tax revenues with them.
00:37:40.440Americans should encourage people to build companies, create jobs, and invest, not punish success because socialist activists resent it.
00:37:49.540Washington, D.C. does not have a spending problem
