00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:06.900 You are now entering the Stone Zone, and I am your genial host, Roger Stone.
00:00:13.520 I'm joining you today from our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.,
00:00:18.000 specifically from the Willard Hotel.
00:00:20.740 The Willard Hotel has a rich history, as it is as luxurious as it is fascinating,
00:00:26.640 with a lot of quirky antidotes about this hotel.
00:00:29.800 First of all, I myself was married in this hotel in 1992.
00:00:35.660 The hotel opened its doors in 1850, initially called Willard's City Hotel,
00:00:42.020 almost instantly became a symbol of prestige,
00:00:45.300 attracting the elites of politics, society, foreign dignitaries, and so on.
00:00:50.880 The Willard is intimately tied to the history of the United States and our politics.
00:00:55.200 It's rumored that in 1861, during the Civil War,
00:00:58.960 President Abraham Lincoln used the hotel's corridors as a makeshift office,
00:01:04.340 sometimes meeting with his cabinet members in secret.
00:01:07.860 The word lobbyist, the term lobbyist,
00:01:10.880 comes from the fact that those who represented special interests
00:01:14.880 would wait in the lobby of the hotel when President Ulysses S. Grant stayed in the hotel.
00:01:21.000 One of the most infamous political events occurred in 1947,
00:01:25.700 when President Harry Truman called the Willard home for his meetings leading up to the signing of the United States' UN Charter.
00:01:35.040 It's said that the hotel was also the site of the impromptu secret meeting between two future presidents,
00:01:43.360 Lyndon Baines Johnson and John F. Kennedy,
00:01:46.280 where they made the deal that JFK would run for president and take LBJ as his running mate.
00:01:54.560 The Willard also holds a unique claim to fame for hosting the first ever presidential inaugural ball in 1857.
00:02:01.040 The hotel closed down in 1968, July of that year.
00:02:08.700 The entire hotel space was rented by Richard Nixon's comeback presidential campaign.
00:02:15.960 So I actually worked in this building for several months in addition to being married.
00:02:22.780 And of course, there were false allegations that I had actually been in a so-called war room in the Willard Hotel,
00:02:32.120 where evidently some aides to President Donald Trump, including Steve Bannon, Mayor Rudy Giuliani,
00:02:41.020 and others planned the efforts to try to delay the certification of the Electoral College in the 2020 campaign.
00:02:52.280 That's untrue in my case.
00:02:54.760 Any claim that I knew in advance about, participated in, or condoned any illegal activity on January 6th is false.
00:03:04.520 I'm still not sure that a delay in the certification of the election based on the possibility of sending electorate slates back to the states for re-evaluation based on actual turnout in the election was illegal,
00:03:21.100 but it was never politically viable.
00:03:23.780 It was always clear to me that Joe Biden's election, despite the anomalies and the irregularities in the 2020 election, would be certified.
00:03:32.300 Well, the Director of National Intelligence has certainly shaken up our national politics and changed the narrative.
00:03:42.180 All the talk was about Jeffrey Epstein, despite the fact that there is no evidence of tying President Donald Trump to any inappropriate activity regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
00:03:54.520 Last week, the President said multiple times that the Epstein scandal was a hoax.
00:03:59.960 I finally figured out what he meant.
00:04:02.360 He didn't mean that Epstein was not involved in child sex trafficking or wasn't a pedophile.
00:04:08.840 In fact, it was the Trump Justice Department that charged Epstein in 2019 for one count of child sex trafficking
00:04:20.860 and a second count of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking.
00:04:26.400 The President now has wisely, in order to clear the air, has directed the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi,
00:04:35.600 to move in federal court to unseal the grand jury testimony involved in Epstein's indictment.
00:04:45.420 You cannot indict somebody for conspiracy to engage in child sex trafficking without naming the other conspirators.
00:04:54.960 It's also vitally important, based on what whistleblowers tell me,
00:04:59.980 that the Justice Department also move to unseal the search warrants for Epstein's palatial home in Manhattan,
00:05:10.380 as well as for his island.
00:05:12.920 But now the political dialogue has shifted dramatically as the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:05:20.760 has sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice asking for the indictment of President Barack Hussein Obama
00:05:30.300 and many of his top officials to be criminally charged for participating in what documents that she has now declassified
00:05:39.880 as a treasonous and seditious conspiracy against Trump before he could be seated in the White House in January of 2017.
00:05:51.440 Gabbard stated that Obama and his officials laid the groundwork for a several-year-long coup
00:05:58.860 by taking intelligence reports from British spook Christopher Steele
00:06:04.860 that they knew to be false and they knew to have been commissioned by Hillary Clinton's campaign
00:06:12.200 and therefore were politically motivated to activate the deep state against Trump
00:06:17.600 with the hopes of either removing him from office through impeachment
00:06:22.520 or discrediting and hobbling his administration.
00:06:28.360 Tulsi Gabbard said,
00:06:30.080 no matter how powerful,
00:06:32.260 every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated
00:06:35.640 and prosecuted to the full extent of the law
00:06:39.280 to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
00:06:43.620 The American people's faith and trust in our Democratic Republic
00:06:50.700 and therefore the future of our nation depends on justice.
00:06:54.800 I obviously have a certain level of personal satisfaction here
00:06:59.660 because now Tulsi Gabbard has proven that there was no Russian interference in the 2016 election,
00:07:08.300 that that was a concocted canard,
00:07:11.560 and therefore as one who was charged and convicted for lying to Congress
00:07:18.640 to cover up a conspiracy that never took place,
00:07:22.460 there was no Russian collusion,
00:07:24.620 well, today I feel quite vindicated.
00:07:27.980 The neocons, however, have moved very aggressively now against Tulsi Gabbard.
00:07:32.800 As we stated earlier here in the show,
00:07:35.240 the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:07:38.240 emerged once again now as a hero within the Trump administration
00:07:42.160 after she submitted a criminal referral against former President Barack Obama
00:07:47.720 for his role in fomenting the illegal coup against Donald Trump.
00:07:53.540 This is the greatest single abuse of power in American political history.
00:07:59.220 It's a huge political dirty trick.
00:08:02.900 It's nothing less than the use of the authority of the federal government
00:08:07.840 and the extraordinary capabilities of our intelligence agencies
00:08:11.940 utilizing two false allegations,
00:08:15.560 those contained in the Steele dossier.
00:08:19.020 That's a report paid for and commissioned by Hillary Clinton
00:08:22.600 which falsely claimed that Donald Trump cavorted with Russian prostitutes
00:08:29.380 while visiting Moscow on a business trip as a private citizen,
00:08:33.500 and the completely bogus claim that the Democrat National Committee
00:08:39.560 was hacked by Russian intelligence
00:08:42.200 and that the embarrassing records of the hacking of both the DNC
00:08:47.720 and the Clinton campaign was published by WikiLeaks.
00:08:53.560 I'm very familiar with that false claim.
00:08:56.640 I was charged with lying about that so-called hack,
00:09:01.440 but that's because the judge in my case refused to let me call
00:09:06.420 the former CIA counterintelligence IT chief, Bill Binney,
00:09:12.080 who could have proved through forensic evidence
00:09:14.860 and his first-person testimony
00:09:17.440 that there is no evidence that there was ever an online hack of the DNC.
00:09:23.960 And in fact, the material published by WikiLeaks
00:09:27.800 was downloaded to some kind of a portable drive
00:09:31.420 and taken out the back door.
00:09:34.960 So today, once again, I'm feeling quite vindicated.
00:09:38.300 None of this, of course, would have happened,
00:09:40.220 these revelations by Gabbard,
00:09:42.620 if neoconservative Senator Tom Cotton had gotten his way.
00:09:46.780 Senator Cotton introduced a bill today
00:09:50.300 that will vastly diminish Tulsi's oversight department,
00:09:55.800 sending hundreds of employees to the CIA,
00:09:59.140 the NSA, and other deep state entities.
00:10:02.620 Senator Cotton said that this was meant to cut down
00:10:05.980 Gabbard's agency,
00:10:08.180 which he described as overstaffed and a bureaucratic behemoth.
00:10:13.400 Evidently, Senator Cotton doesn't seem aware of the fact
00:10:16.400 that the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:10:20.140 has just introduced a new proposal
00:10:22.800 to cut the staffing of her agency in half.
00:10:26.800 So she's two steps ahead of the Senator from Arkansas.
00:10:31.860 In actuality, Senator Cotton's bill
00:10:34.100 was a thinly-veiled attack on Gabbard's authority.
00:10:37.680 You see, Tulsi Gabbard has been the bane
00:10:40.140 of the neocons' existence
00:10:41.780 since her appointment as the Director of National Intelligence.
00:10:45.460 She has spoken out against the endless wars
00:10:48.500 and shown a willingness to declassify documents
00:10:51.580 that paint the deep state
00:10:53.120 in an embarrassing and even criminal light.
00:10:57.180 With her recent criminal referral of Obama,
00:11:00.700 it doesn't appear that Gabbard will be going anywhere.
00:11:03.600 She will continue her role in the Trump administration,
00:11:06.480 putting America first.
00:11:08.540 Let's be very clear.
00:11:10.500 Some, like Hillary Clinton,
00:11:11.720 actually accused Tulsi Gabbard
00:11:13.300 of being a Russian asset.
00:11:16.760 Tulsi Gabbard, who served her country
00:11:19.520 as a combat veteran in both Iraq and Kuwait,
00:11:23.440 still serves as a lieutenant colonel
00:11:25.720 in the U.S. Army Reserve.
00:11:27.960 She's also a crack shot and a championship surfer.
00:11:32.380 With an extraordinary appeal to millennials
00:11:35.220 and amazing skills as a communicator,
00:11:38.220 I predict that she will be the first woman president,
00:11:41.420 perhaps not in 2028.
00:11:43.300 But someday.
00:11:45.180 Meanwhile, there's a new overnight poll
00:11:47.560 out in New York City from Kaplan & Associates.
00:11:50.840 A thousand likely New York City voters
00:11:53.940 shows the Ayatollah Mamdami at 38,
00:11:57.800 former Governor Andrew Cuomo, 22,
00:12:01.960 Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee,
00:12:04.780 moving up to 17,
00:12:06.000 and former Mayor Eric Adams bringing up last place
00:12:11.020 by 13% of the vote.
00:12:13.820 That's with 10% undecided.
00:12:16.860 Adams continues to be hobbled
00:12:18.680 with a 68% overall unfavorable rating
00:12:23.040 among New York City voters.

00:13:07.360 We're back in The Stone Zone,
00:13:09.900 and I'm Roger Stone
00:13:11.460 bringing you the latest political news.
00:13:13.940 Well, delusions about Eric Adams,
00:13:16.560 the current mayor of New York,
00:13:17.840 being the most viable person
00:13:19.180 to defeat the far-left Marxist,
00:13:24.000 the Ayatollah, as I call him,
00:13:26.260 Zoran Mamdami,
00:13:27.420 have been dashed by a new opinion poll
00:13:30.780 that shows Adams with a whopping
00:13:32.580 68% net unfavorable
00:13:35.960 among New York City voters.
00:13:38.020 Adams is disliked
00:13:39.420 because of his various credible scandals.
00:13:42.700 He was indicted in September of 2024
00:13:44.780 on public corruption felony charges
00:13:47.740 spanning a decade,
00:13:49.180 stemming from kickbacks he received
00:13:51.600 to influence his decision-making
00:13:53.620 when he was the Brooklyn Borough President,
00:13:56.640 taking many thousands of dollars
00:13:59.580 from the Turks to do their bidding.
00:14:02.240 He would then allow them
00:14:04.860 to inhabit with an occupancy permit
00:14:08.440 a building they owned in Manhattan
00:14:10.940 that was not up to stuff.
00:14:13.860 He also staffed his administration
00:14:16.300 with crooks such as his police commissioner,
00:14:18.480 his fire commissioner,
00:14:19.820 and his school chancellor,
00:14:21.620 all of whom were forced
00:14:22.940 to resign in disgrace.
00:14:25.240 Adams' attempt now
00:14:26.620 to reinvent himself
00:14:27.800 as a Trump-esque victim of lawfare
00:14:30.300 may have saved his job
00:14:32.340 for the time being,
00:14:34.240 but I don't know
00:14:35.140 that it'll keep him out of jail
00:14:36.420 after he's removed
00:14:37.620 from his mayoral position.
00:14:40.160 Conservatives and Republicans
00:14:41.760 and Trump supporters
00:14:43.260 are not wise to rally around
00:14:45.780 this scoundrel in my opinion,
00:14:48.040 selling out their principles
00:14:49.140 to a man who has no chance to win.
00:14:52.120 The entire narrative
00:14:54.040 that he was victimized
00:14:57.280 and targeted by the Biden Justice Department
00:15:00.180 because he disagreed with Joe Biden's
00:15:02.840 open borders immigration policies
00:15:05.540 is a fugazi.
00:15:07.080 The truth is,
00:15:08.780 Eric Adams ran for mayor
00:15:10.820 of New York City
00:15:11.800 as a full-throated advocate
00:15:14.520 of New York City
00:15:16.000 being a sanctuary city
00:15:18.640 for illegals.
00:15:19.920 And as mayor,
00:15:21.260 he chose to put illegal immigrants
00:15:24.020 in $500 a night hotels,
00:15:26.820 such as the Roosevelt Hotel,
00:15:28.740 as well as locating shelters
00:15:31.140 in stable working-class neighborhoods.
00:15:34.200 There's a lot of talk
00:15:35.880 about one of the three challengers
00:15:37.780 to Mimdami getting out of the race
00:15:40.140 to enhance the chances
00:15:41.300 of defeating the Democrat nominee,
00:15:44.040 but that candidate,
00:15:45.560 based on this polling,
00:15:46.800 should be Eric Adams.
00:15:48.540 There is no path to victory.
00:15:50.740 I've been in this business 50 years.
00:15:52.940 I know how to read a poll.
00:15:55.180 I see a gain by Curtis Sliwa,
00:15:59.240 and I think Andrew Cuomo's campaign
00:16:02.060 seems to be stalled
00:16:03.240 over his inability
00:16:04.440 to press the flesh.
00:16:06.580 See, I think the former governor
00:16:07.840 is afraid of that viral moment
00:16:10.320 in which he confronts a voter,
00:16:12.600 a voter confronts him,
00:16:13.760 and says,
00:16:14.260 hey, my father or my mother
00:16:16.460 died in a nursing home
00:16:18.160 because you put those COVID-19 patients
00:16:21.880 into the nursing home.
00:16:23.920 That is not, of course,
00:16:25.620 what he was removed
00:16:26.440 from the governorship for,
00:16:27.700 but I think that is what he fears.
00:16:30.380 You're tuned in to The Stone Zone
00:16:32.660 here on the Red Apple Audio Networks,
00:16:35.060 and we're going to get into more
00:16:37.100 of the greatest and most important
00:16:39.420 political stories of the day,
00:16:41.020 so whatever you do,
00:16:42.080 don't touch that dial.

00:16:51.700 The Stone Zone,
00:16:53.600 entertaining and informative
00:16:55.380 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:16:57.620 This is Roger Stone,
00:17:01.500 and you're re-entering
00:17:02.940 The Stone Zone.
00:17:04.480 Well, Senator Adam Schiff
00:17:06.500 may go down
00:17:07.540 on real estate fraud charges,
00:17:10.200 the exact type of charges
00:17:12.200 that fraudsters like Schiff
00:17:13.860 tried to pin on
00:17:15.000 President Donald Trump
00:17:16.540 when they were frantically
00:17:17.660 looking to invent
00:17:18.680 any crime
00:17:20.080 to prevent Trump
00:17:20.940 from running for president
00:17:22.460 again in 2024.
00:17:25.440 Schiff could face up
00:17:26.700 to a potential jail sentence
00:17:28.620 of 20 years
00:17:29.900 if he was prosecuted
00:17:31.920 and convicted
00:17:32.600 on mortgage
00:17:33.320 and tax fraud charges.
00:17:36.420 Now, Schiff says
00:17:38.120 that he's only being criticized
00:17:39.720 because President Donald Trump
00:17:42.220 disagrees with his
00:17:44.080 owning two homes.
00:17:46.080 That isn't the issue.
00:17:48.100 You see,
00:17:48.640 Schiff declared
00:17:49.500 both his condominium
00:17:51.640 in Burbank, California,
00:17:53.880 the state he represents
00:17:54.980 now in the U.S. Senate,
00:17:56.160 and his home
00:17:57.660 in suburban Maryland
00:17:59.260 as his principal legal residence
00:18:02.680 in order to pull off
00:18:04.260 a mortgage scam,
00:18:06.000 getting lower mortgage rates,
00:18:08.300 lower insurance rates,
00:18:09.940 and lower tax rates
00:18:11.660 on both properties,
00:18:14.340 believing that
00:18:15.140 maybe because he was a member
00:18:16.880 of the Democrat elite,
00:18:19.000 he's above the law.
00:18:20.840 A finding from Fannie Mae,
00:18:24.800 the Federal Housing Authority,
00:18:27.080 asserts that Schiff
00:18:27.840 submitted incorrect information
00:18:30.020 about his properties
00:18:30.900 while applying
00:18:31.760 for home loans,
00:18:33.300 once again listing
00:18:34.200 his primary residence
00:18:35.320 as his Burbank condo,
00:18:37.200 despite not being suitable
00:18:38.820 for a family of four.
00:18:41.660 He also lied
00:18:43.360 about his primary residence
00:18:44.820 in Burbank once again
00:18:46.360 so he could receive
00:18:47.200 a property tax deduction
00:18:48.960 under the state law
00:18:50.160 under false pretenses.
00:18:53.120 The bottom line is
00:18:54.400 it's not looking good
00:18:55.540 for Schiff to Schiff.
00:18:57.320 This is the guy
00:18:58.160 who you may remember
00:18:59.220 claimed that he had seen
00:19:00.920 more than circumstantial evidence
00:19:03.520 of Russian collusion
00:19:05.200 with President Donald Trump's
00:19:06.960 2016 campaign,
00:19:09.980 producing none.
00:19:11.640 Now, when you ask him,
00:19:13.520 what were the fruits
00:19:14.500 of the $30 million
00:19:15.560 spent investigating
00:19:17.700 Trump's alleged involvement
00:19:19.740 with Russia,
00:19:20.500 he will tell you,
00:19:21.360 well,
00:19:21.960 Trump campaign manager
00:19:23.340 Paul Manafort
00:19:24.420 shared proprietary polling information
00:19:28.200 from the Trump campaign
00:19:29.340 with a Russian intelligence asset.
00:19:32.600 That, once again,
00:19:34.120 is typical of Adam Schiff,
00:19:35.940 a lie.
00:19:37.000 In fact,
00:19:37.580 the Trump campaign
00:19:38.460 had no proprietary polling information
00:19:41.400 at that time.
00:19:42.240 It was post-convention,
00:19:43.700 but before the fall campaign.
00:19:46.420 And secondarily,
00:19:48.080 any polling information
00:19:49.320 that Paul Manafort
00:19:50.860 may have passed on
00:19:52.260 to a man named
00:19:53.060 Konstantin Kalimnik
00:19:55.000 would have been
00:19:55.760 public information
00:19:56.900 that anyone could find
00:19:58.340 on the internet.
00:20:00.160 But the other problem
00:20:01.160 with this false claim
00:20:02.200 is that Konstantin Kalimnik
00:20:03.900 is not,
00:20:05.660 as the investigative reporter
00:20:07.160 Matt Taibbi has proven,
00:20:08.840 was not a Russian
00:20:10.180 intelligence asset.
00:20:11.500 In fact,
00:20:12.460 he was a U.S.
00:20:14.060 intelligence asset.
00:20:16.120 There are a number of cables
00:20:18.360 from the U.S. embassy in Kiev
00:20:20.740 back to the State Department
00:20:22.380 where basically Kalimnik
00:20:24.900 was working for the U.S.,
00:20:28.560 sending them political intelligence
00:20:30.440 on the situation in Ukraine.
00:20:33.380 The bottom line is
00:20:34.660 it's not looking good for Adam Schiff
00:20:36.500 and his imprisonment
00:20:37.700 for these crimes
00:20:38.620 would be a gratifying instance
00:20:40.960 of poetic justice.
00:20:43.480 Meanwhile,
00:20:43.980 President Donald Trump
00:20:45.260 took aim
00:20:46.180 at the Washington commanders
00:20:47.860 of the National Football League
00:20:50.140 in a Truth Social post
00:20:51.600 on Sunday,
00:20:53.480 demanding that they
00:20:54.780 re-adopt their traditional
00:20:56.600 Redskins team name
00:20:58.920 that was jettisoned
00:21:00.920 during the woke era.
00:21:02.560 Trump said,
00:21:03.120 I may put a restriction
00:21:04.840 on them
00:21:05.600 that if they don't
00:21:06.620 change the name back
00:21:07.580 to the original
00:21:08.680 Washington Redskins
00:21:09.980 and get rid of
00:21:10.820 the ridiculous moniker
00:21:12.740 Washington commanders,
00:21:14.420 I won't make a deal
00:21:15.340 with them
00:21:15.680 for a new stadium
00:21:17.340 in Washington.
00:21:18.780 The team would be
00:21:19.600 much more valuable
00:21:20.620 and the deal would be
00:21:21.600 much more exciting
00:21:22.500 for everyone
00:21:23.500 if they went back
00:21:24.400 to their original name.
00:21:26.960 President Trump
00:21:27.840 also said
00:21:28.640 that the Cleveland Guardians,
00:21:30.980 formerly the Cleveland Indians,
00:21:33.120 of the Major League
00:21:34.820 Basketball League,
00:21:37.120 do the same thing.
00:21:38.080 Trump noted
00:21:38.700 that Indians
00:21:39.460 across the country
00:21:40.420 support his efforts
00:21:42.140 and that the times
00:21:43.220 have changed.
00:21:44.340 No longer
00:21:44.940 are we running away
00:21:45.980 from our heritage
00:21:46.820 to appease
00:21:47.900 the far left fringe.
00:21:49.840 It's time
00:21:50.320 for America
00:21:51.020 in Cleveland
00:21:52.220 to join the movement
00:21:53.400 to make America
00:21:54.620 great again
00:21:55.300 by making their team names
00:21:57.340 great again.
00:21:58.400 These are team names
00:21:59.860 that honor
00:22:00.900 our Native Americans,
00:22:02.180 not belittle them.
00:22:04.800 In the meantime,
00:22:06.200 the WNBA players
00:22:08.680 wear pay us shirts
00:22:10.060 during their
00:22:10.620 All-Star game.
00:22:12.080 So during the
00:22:13.060 rarely watched
00:22:14.420 WNBA All-Star game
00:22:16.140 on Sunday,
00:22:16.920 the women
00:22:17.280 in a show
00:22:18.460 of solidarity
00:22:19.380 wore
00:22:19.920 pay us what we are owed
00:22:21.360 t-shirts
00:22:22.180 claiming that they are
00:22:23.280 underpaid
00:22:24.380 in comparison
00:22:25.120 to their male counterparts.
00:22:27.280 The Women's National
00:22:29.760 Basketball League
00:22:32.080 players certainly
00:22:33.560 are paid far less
00:22:34.620 than the men
00:22:35.240 in the NBA,
00:22:36.720 but that's because
00:22:37.560 the NBA
00:22:38.760 is a
00:22:39.740 multi-billion dollar
00:22:41.380 sports franchise,
00:22:43.320 one of the most
00:22:43.960 popular sports
00:22:44.720 organizations
00:22:45.360 in the world,
00:22:46.380 while the
00:22:46.960 WNBA
00:22:47.780 has lost
00:22:48.860 millions of dollars
00:22:50.080 is only kept around
00:22:51.320 because of the
00:22:52.240 NBA's
00:22:53.380 generosity.
00:22:54.240 The salaries
00:22:55.600 these women
00:22:56.240 do make
00:22:56.900 are not because
00:22:57.700 of the market,
00:22:58.440 but rather because
00:22:59.400 the NBA owners
00:23:01.020 feel bad
00:23:01.700 and keep the
00:23:02.320 NBA around
00:23:03.300 as a kind of
00:23:04.360 novel welfare
00:23:05.420 project of sorts.
00:23:07.360 If these women
00:23:07.920 were paid what
00:23:08.580 they were owed,
00:23:09.440 they would be
00:23:09.880 receiving zero.
00:23:11.880 So they would
00:23:12.940 have to front money
00:23:13.980 to be able to
00:23:14.740 play professionally.
00:23:16.480 Because of the
00:23:17.360 popularity of
00:23:18.400 superstar
00:23:19.180 Caitlin Clark,
00:23:20.360 the WNBA
00:23:21.460 may become
00:23:22.500 profitable someday,
00:23:23.660 maybe even
00:23:24.360 in the near
00:23:24.800 future,
00:23:25.820 but then
00:23:26.520 the pay
00:23:27.260 may come up.
00:23:28.820 Until then,
00:23:29.900 the hulking
00:23:30.480 brutes of
00:23:31.180 the WNBA
00:23:32.300 should be happy
00:23:33.120 they're allowed
00:23:34.120 to play for
00:23:34.960 money at all.
00:23:36.920 Meanwhile,
00:23:38.380 a January
00:23:39.680 Sixer who's
00:23:40.600 in jail with
00:23:41.200 Epstein
00:23:41.600 accomplice
00:23:42.320 Ghislaine Maxwell
00:23:43.740 has stated for
00:23:44.580 the record
00:23:45.080 that Maxwell
00:23:46.480 is not
00:23:47.640 suicidal.
00:23:49.180 Oathkeeper
00:23:49.700 Jessica Watkins,
00:23:51.500 who was
00:23:51.900 imprisoned January
00:23:53.140 Sixth and
00:23:53.740 then pardoned
00:23:54.880 by President
00:23:55.480 Trump,
00:23:56.000 said that
00:23:56.500 Maxwell
00:23:56.980 kept to
00:23:58.100 herself inside
00:23:59.120 the prison
00:23:59.680 but showed
00:24:00.600 no signs
00:24:01.520 of being
00:24:02.000 suicidal.
00:24:03.480 Watkins stated
00:24:04.600 that they were
00:24:05.360 kept in open
00:24:06.260 dorms with bunk
00:24:07.240 beds and not
00:24:08.040 cells while
00:24:09.200 they were
00:24:09.760 confined.
00:24:11.240 Maxwell has
00:24:12.000 been in the
00:24:12.500 news lately
00:24:13.480 after she said
00:24:14.740 publicly that she
00:24:15.680 would be happy
00:24:16.320 to tell all
00:24:17.120 that she knows
00:24:17.900 as controversy
00:24:19.380 continues to
00:24:20.420 swirl over
00:24:21.580 the release
00:24:22.360 of the
00:24:23.020 Epstein
00:24:23.700 files.
00:24:25.100 Maxwell has
00:24:25.860 been kept
00:24:26.400 alive up to
00:24:27.180 this point
00:24:27.680 but she
00:24:28.140 could be
00:24:28.880 targeted by
00:24:29.560 the deep
00:24:29.920 state now
00:24:30.540 that she's
00:24:31.000 been more
00:24:31.880 vocal about
00:24:32.740 telling her
00:24:33.520 story.
00:24:34.640 A report
00:24:35.680 a week ago
00:24:36.520 that Republicans
00:24:37.300 in the House
00:24:38.100 voted against
00:24:39.700 letting her
00:24:40.480 testify is
00:24:41.560 another
00:24:42.420 fugazi.
00:24:43.260 there was a
00:24:44.400 procedural motion
00:24:45.740 by Democrats
00:24:46.500 that did not
00:24:47.660 even mention
00:24:48.500 Maxwell's name
00:24:49.600 but would have
00:24:50.440 given Democrats
00:24:51.180 control of the
00:24:52.220 House floor
00:24:52.880 something they
00:24:53.780 should not have
00:24:54.580 because they
00:24:55.160 are in the
00:24:56.120 minority.
00:24:57.320 I spoke to
00:24:58.080 Congressman Tim
00:24:59.280 Burchett who
00:24:59.980 told me the
00:25:00.500 vote had nothing
00:25:01.220 to do with
00:25:02.360 Maxwell and that
00:25:03.260 was just another
00:25:04.200 fake news story.
00:25:06.680 We'll continue
00:25:07.480 to cover this
00:25:08.660 case as it
00:25:09.900 develops but for
00:25:11.720 those who didn't
00:25:12.920 hear us earlier
00:25:13.860 President Donald
00:25:14.660 Trump has
00:25:15.220 directed his
00:25:17.100 Attorney General
00:25:17.960 to move in
00:25:18.940 federal court
00:25:19.640 which they did
00:25:20.260 last Friday
00:25:21.100 to unseal the
00:25:23.300 grand jury
00:25:24.320 testimony from
00:25:26.100 Jeffrey Epstein's
00:25:27.300 2019 indictment
00:25:29.520 for child
00:25:30.580 sex trafficking
00:25:31.900 and conspiracy
00:25:33.240 to engage in
00:25:34.960 child sex
00:25:36.000 trafficking.
00:25:37.520 I have strongly
00:25:38.800 suggested based
00:25:39.880 on a tip from
00:25:41.060 a whistleblower
00:25:41.960 that they also
00:25:43.320 move to unseal
00:25:45.220 the search
00:25:45.840 warrants that
00:25:46.920 were issued
00:25:47.560 for Epstein's
00:25:49.240 palatial New
00:25:50.480 York home as
00:25:51.500 well as his
00:25:52.420 island.
00:25:53.500 Both of those
00:25:54.360 are sealed on
00:25:55.400 the motion of
00:25:56.120 Maureen Comey
00:25:57.200 the daughter of
00:25:58.620 former FBI
00:25:59.540 director James
00:26:01.180 Comey who's got
00:26:02.140 his own problems
00:26:03.160 now that
00:26:04.240 director of
00:26:05.060 national intelligence
00:26:06.040 Tulsi Gabbard
00:26:06.900 has fully exposed
00:26:08.560 his role in
00:26:10.320 the seditious
00:26:11.380 conspiracy plot
00:26:13.180 to smear
00:26:14.480 President Donald
00:26:15.480 Trump as
00:26:16.200 having received
00:26:17.580 assistance from
00:26:18.860 Russian intelligence
00:26:19.800 in his 2016
00:26:21.660 election.
00:26:23.140 Trump fired
00:26:24.140 Maureen Comey
00:26:25.240 last week.
00:26:26.420 It's interesting
00:26:27.300 that there was
00:26:28.340 a case only
00:26:29.080 two years ago
00:26:30.040 where Comey
00:26:31.320 convinced a
00:26:32.780 federal judge
00:26:33.580 to deny a
00:26:34.900 Freedom of
00:26:36.060 Information Act
00:26:37.140 request for
00:26:38.580 records pertaining
00:26:39.980 to the Maxwell
00:26:41.020 case.
00:26:42.140 So the cover-up
00:26:43.040 here continues
00:26:44.280 and what
00:26:45.720 remains to be
00:26:46.540 seen given
00:26:47.540 the fact that
00:26:48.220 this motion
00:26:48.920 was filed in
00:26:50.260 Manhattan and
00:26:51.920 in the Southern
00:26:52.520 District of New
00:26:53.560 York is whether
00:26:54.760 a liberal
00:26:55.940 Democrat judge
00:26:57.300 appointed by
00:26:58.160 either Joe
00:26:59.660 Biden, Barack
00:27:00.900 Obama, or
00:27:01.780 President Bill
00:27:02.940 Clinton will
00:27:04.340 rule to keep
00:27:05.800 the grand jury
00:27:07.020 testimony sealed.
00:27:09.440 It's interesting
00:27:10.280 that Senator
00:27:11.340 Dick Durbin,
00:27:12.940 who passed
00:27:14.080 a bill
00:27:15.220 prohibiting the
00:27:16.700 release of the
00:27:17.620 Epstein material,
00:27:18.980 is now jumping
00:27:19.960 up and down
00:27:20.640 and criticizing
00:27:21.500 Donald Trump
00:27:22.360 for not releasing
00:27:23.580 the material,
00:27:24.360 when, of course,
00:27:25.140 the president
00:27:25.720 doesn't have
00:27:26.660 the authority
00:27:27.480 without the
00:27:28.140 approval of a
00:27:29.500 federal court
00:27:30.560 to unseal
00:27:32.380 the material
00:27:33.120 that I believe
00:27:34.200 will expose
00:27:35.080 who Epstein's
00:27:36.620 elite pedophile
00:27:38.420 clients really
00:27:40.000 were.
00:27:41.260 Meanwhile,
00:27:42.000 the Supreme
00:27:42.660 Court of
00:27:43.320 Brazil is
00:27:44.020 continuing in
00:27:44.900 its unjust
00:27:45.680 prosecution of
00:27:46.780 former President
00:27:47.960 Jair Bolsonaro,
00:27:49.640 even after
00:27:50.220 President Trump
00:27:51.080 threatened to
00:27:52.020 raise tariffs
00:27:53.200 on the country
00:27:53.900 if they continue
00:27:54.560 to try to
00:27:55.320 destroy the
00:27:56.400 former president
00:27:57.280 with lawfare.
00:27:58.780 Observers are
00:27:59.640 saying that
00:28:00.480 Brazilian officials
00:28:01.620 are growing more
00:28:02.460 stubborn and
00:28:03.080 defiant,
00:28:03.580 hoping to
00:28:04.480 demonstrate
00:28:04.920 to Trump
00:28:06.420 that they
00:28:06.840 are above
00:28:07.320 influence
00:28:07.940 from the
00:28:08.700 United States.
00:28:10.080 They may be
00:28:10.600 the last
00:28:11.120 country to
00:28:11.700 mess around
00:28:12.300 and find out
00:28:13.140 when it
00:28:13.420 comes to
00:28:13.960 Donald Trump's
00:28:14.980 willingness to
00:28:15.840 fight.
00:28:16.680 Secretary of
00:28:17.340 State Marco
00:28:18.100 Rubio is
00:28:18.940 moving to
00:28:19.420 strip U.S.
00:28:20.100 visas from
00:28:20.860 eight Brazilian
00:28:22.380 judges who
00:28:23.240 are leading
00:28:24.040 the unjust
00:28:24.960 prosecution of
00:28:25.960 Bolsonaro,
00:28:27.080 showing that
00:28:27.620 the president's
00:28:28.340 administration
00:28:28.820 is quite
00:28:29.780 serious.
00:28:30.620 Bolsonaro has
00:28:32.720 been charged
00:28:33.640 with leading
00:28:34.140 a coup
00:28:34.740 to seize
00:28:35.600 power in
00:28:36.240 Brazil,
00:28:36.680 although that
00:28:37.180 coup never
00:28:37.740 actually took
00:28:38.500 place, along
00:28:39.640 with a host
00:28:40.140 of other
00:28:40.780 fabricated
00:28:42.040 crimes.
00:28:43.260 If they
00:28:43.800 successfully
00:28:44.480 prosecute
00:28:46.120 Bolsonaro,
00:28:46.960 it will be
00:28:48.000 critachi, or
00:28:49.760 rule by
00:28:50.480 judges, and
00:28:52.040 that means
00:28:52.660 that democracy
00:28:54.300 in Brazil
00:28:55.040 will have
00:28:55.980 been replaced.
00:28:57.440 If you
00:28:58.900 are just
00:28:59.480 tuning in
00:29:00.320 to the
00:29:00.940 Stone Zone,
00:29:02.120 you may
00:29:02.640 have heard
00:29:03.180 our story
00:29:03.940 yesterday,
00:29:05.240 in which
00:29:05.620 Congresswoman
00:29:06.720 Anna Polina
00:29:07.920 Luna announced
00:29:09.240 several bombshell
00:29:10.980 developments in
00:29:12.100 the continuing
00:29:12.960 investigation into
00:29:15.040 the murder of
00:29:16.360 President John
00:29:17.220 F. Kennedy
00:29:17.820 on November
00:29:19.020 22, 1963.
00:29:23.140 Only days
00:29:24.780 ago, only
00:29:26.920 because of
00:29:27.560 her persistence
00:29:28.320 and her
00:29:29.220 tenacity,
00:29:30.580 Congresswoman
00:29:31.340 Anna Polina
00:29:32.120 Luna of the
00:29:32.740 13th District
00:29:33.520 of Florida
00:29:34.180 announced that
00:29:35.560 the CIA had
00:29:36.600 finally, after
00:29:37.500 six decades
00:29:38.520 of denying
00:29:39.260 such files
00:29:40.580 existed,
00:29:41.720 turned over
00:29:42.280 files regarding
00:29:43.420 a man named
00:29:44.720 George
00:29:45.240 Joannides,
00:29:46.340 who was a
00:29:47.220 CIA operative.
00:29:49.400 Joannides, it
00:29:50.340 turns out,
00:29:51.120 despite the
00:29:51.720 fact that
00:29:52.340 CIA Director
00:29:53.600 John McCone
00:29:54.600 and Deputy
00:29:55.240 Director
00:29:55.780 Richard Helms
00:29:57.900 denied any
00:29:59.180 knowledge of
00:30:00.140 Lee Harvey
00:30:00.640 Oswald, but
00:30:01.760 in fact,
00:30:02.760 Joannides,
00:30:03.880 using an
00:30:05.600 alias, Howard
00:30:06.640 Gebbler, was
00:30:08.760 not only
00:30:09.600 monitoring
00:30:10.420 Oswald,
00:30:12.200 reading all
00:30:13.020 of Oswald's
00:30:14.380 correspondence,
00:30:15.720 but in
00:30:16.240 essence,
00:30:17.180 handling Oswald
00:30:18.560 for the agency.
00:30:19.760 It was Joannides
00:30:20.580 who not only
00:30:21.960 orchestrated the
00:30:23.160 street scuffle
00:30:24.000 in New Orleans
00:30:24.920 in which
00:30:25.980 Lee Harvey
00:30:26.480 Oswald was
00:30:27.420 handing out
00:30:28.380 pro-Castro
00:30:29.580 leaflets,
00:30:30.880 but those
00:30:31.280 leaflets had
00:30:32.040 an address on
00:30:32.880 them that
00:30:33.280 actually belonged
00:30:34.200 to a FBI
00:30:35.700 operative
00:30:36.840 Guy Bannister.
00:30:38.520 Very curious.
00:30:39.680 Clearly, the
00:30:40.240 purpose of the
00:30:41.300 street scuffle
00:30:41.880 was to
00:30:42.560 create the
00:30:43.760 impression
00:30:44.280 that Oswald
00:30:45.880 was a
00:30:47.420 communist
00:30:47.780 and was
00:30:48.460 pro-Castro,
00:30:50.100 who was
00:30:51.480 down on
00:30:52.180 the street
00:30:52.680 with Lee
00:30:54.320 Harvey Oswald
00:30:55.280 handing out
00:30:56.160 those pro-Castro
00:30:57.180 flyers.
00:30:58.120 No one other
00:30:58.780 than Rafael
00:30:59.520 Angel Cruz,
00:31:01.380 the father
00:31:02.120 of Senator
00:31:03.320 Ted Cruz.
00:31:04.800 You don't
00:31:05.040 have to
00:31:05.540 believe me.
00:31:06.620 The photos
00:31:07.100 are in the
00:31:08.020 Warren Commission
00:31:09.320 report.
00:31:10.920 Luna also
00:31:11.640 announced that
00:31:12.440 the successor
00:31:14.000 to the Russian
00:31:14.880 KGB has
00:31:16.400 finally agreed
00:31:17.360 to turn
00:31:17.780 over all
00:31:18.520 of their
00:31:19.120 records
00:31:19.680 pertaining
00:31:20.480 to Lee
00:31:21.380 Harvey
00:31:21.980 Oswald.
00:31:23.500 Still up
00:31:24.920 for grabs,
00:31:25.720 NBC has
00:31:26.700 an enormous
00:31:27.280 amount of
00:31:27.900 tape outside
00:31:29.700 the Texas
00:31:30.320 School Book
00:31:30.840 Depository
00:31:31.580 building that
00:31:32.420 day, which
00:31:33.640 many people
00:31:34.380 believe is
00:31:35.080 revelatory when
00:31:36.480 it comes to
00:31:37.040 the question
00:31:37.540 of the
00:31:37.980 whereabouts
00:31:38.580 of Lee
00:31:39.380 Harvey
00:31:39.660 Oswald
00:31:40.260 during the
00:31:41.280 shooting.
00:31:42.660 In
00:31:42.900 a Polina
00:31:43.380 Luna,
00:31:43.780 the crusading
00:31:44.700 Republican
00:31:45.620 Congresswoman
00:31:46.460 from Florida
00:31:47.300 continues to
00:31:48.180 push NBC
00:31:49.360 for those
00:31:50.400 documents.
00:31:51.380 If you're
00:31:51.720 just tuning
00:31:52.220 in, I'm
00:31:52.900 Roger Stone.
00:31:53.720 You're in
00:31:54.060 the Stone
00:31:54.500 Zone.

00:31:55.340 do, please
00:31:56.460 stay with us.
00:31:57.380 We'll be
00:31:57.820 right back.

00:32:08.440 Entertaining

00:32:12.060 Network.
00:32:16.460 This is

00:32:19.280 back in
00:32:20.120 the Stone
00:32:21.280 Zone.
00:32:22.560 Yesterday,
00:32:23.560 President Donald
00:32:24.460 Trump posted
00:32:25.520 a very
00:32:27.100 strong tweet
00:32:28.980 of support
00:32:30.380 saying congratulations
00:32:31.420 to William J.
00:32:33.540 Pulte,
00:32:34.000 chairman of
00:32:34.620 Fannie Mae
00:32:35.540 and Freddie
00:32:36.080 Mack and
00:32:36.780 director of
00:32:37.380 the Federal
00:32:37.720 Housing Finance
00:32:39.120 Agency on
00:32:39.880 the outstanding
00:32:40.480 job he's
00:32:41.220 doing.
00:32:42.020 Keep moving
00:32:42.740 forward,
00:32:43.380 William.
00:32:43.780 Don't let
00:32:44.220 the radical
00:32:44.800 left weakling
00:32:45.640 stop you.
00:32:47.040 Now,
00:32:47.420 Pulte has
00:32:48.220 become one
00:32:49.300 of the most
00:32:50.200 articulate
00:32:50.820 critics of
00:32:52.480 embattled
00:32:53.160 Federal Reserve
00:32:54.000 chairman Jerome
00:32:55.000 Powell,
00:32:56.060 who has
00:32:56.580 steadfastly
00:32:57.680 refused to
00:32:58.580 cut interest
00:32:59.320 rates on
00:32:59.840 the American
00:33:00.240 people,
00:33:01.240 despite the
00:33:01.920 fact that
00:33:02.400 the two
00:33:03.120 indicators that
00:33:04.320 the Federal
00:33:04.700 Reserve is
00:33:05.260 supposed to,
00:33:06.560 by law,
00:33:07.300 use to
00:33:07.940 determine whether
00:33:09.060 interest rates
00:33:09.800 should be cut,
00:33:11.080 unemployment,
00:33:12.020 and inflation,
00:33:13.320 are both
00:33:14.080 lower or at
00:33:15.260 the same
00:33:15.780 rate as
00:33:17.300 they were
00:33:17.660 the last
00:33:18.260 four times
00:33:19.360 that the
00:33:20.660 Fed cut
00:33:21.540 interest rates
00:33:22.300 on the
00:33:22.980 American people.
00:33:25.300 Pulte has
00:33:25.920 been very
00:33:26.820 strongly
00:33:27.900 criticizing
00:33:28.740 Powell,
00:33:29.980 saying that
00:33:30.360 he's playing
00:33:30.840 politics with
00:33:31.760 the American
00:33:32.380 economy,
00:33:33.820 that he's
00:33:34.320 costing the
00:33:35.380 American people
00:33:36.080 billions of
00:33:37.160 dollars,
00:33:37.780 that Americans
00:33:38.780 deserve an
00:33:40.440 interest rate cut
00:33:41.580 on their credit
00:33:42.220 cards,
00:33:42.720 or when
00:33:43.400 they go
00:33:43.780 to buy
00:33:44.580 a home
00:33:45.080 or a
00:33:45.680 car.
00:33:46.200 In the
00:33:47.400 meantime,
00:33:48.780 Powell is
00:33:50.680 also
00:33:51.340 embattled
00:33:52.720 over a
00:33:53.860 very
00:33:54.160 controversial
00:33:54.980 $2.5
00:33:57.180 billion
00:33:58.220 renovation
00:33:59.840 to his
00:34:01.280 already
00:34:01.940 palatial
00:34:03.140 Federal
00:34:03.960 Reserve
00:34:04.460 headquarters
00:34:04.920 on
00:34:05.920 Constitution
00:34:06.500 Avenue in
00:34:07.380 Washington,
00:34:08.540 D.C.
00:34:08.940 the Art
00:34:09.520 Deco
00:34:10.020 style
00:34:10.880 building,
00:34:12.180 has a
00:34:13.180 40%
00:34:14.100 overrun
00:34:15.080 in its
00:34:15.480 projected
00:34:16.060 budget,
00:34:16.960 now projected
00:34:17.820 to cost
00:34:18.280 the taxpayers
00:34:18.960 $2.5
00:34:20.140 billion.
00:34:21.080 So the
00:34:21.520 juxtaposition
00:34:22.400 of refusing
00:34:23.260 to cut
00:34:23.660 interest rates
00:34:24.320 on the
00:34:24.660 working
00:34:24.980 families
00:34:25.580 of America
00:34:26.620 at the
00:34:26.960 same time
00:34:27.560 building
00:34:28.340 yourself
00:34:28.980 a palatial
00:34:29.860 updated
00:34:30.980 headquarters
00:34:31.760 makes
00:34:32.340 very little
00:34:33.300 sense.
00:34:34.620 Powell's
00:34:35.000 real problem
00:34:35.660 is that he
00:34:36.240 testified under
00:34:37.440 oath to the
00:34:38.060 U.S.
00:34:38.420 Senate,
00:34:38.940 saying that
00:34:40.240 the renovation
00:34:41.080 plans did
00:34:42.080 not include
00:34:42.960 a private
00:34:43.960 elevator for
00:34:44.940 the Fed
00:34:45.740 Board
00:34:46.440 Governors,
00:34:47.420 did not
00:34:48.120 include a
00:34:48.920 private
00:34:49.380 dining room,
00:34:50.720 did not
00:34:51.320 include a
00:34:52.380 roof garden,
00:34:53.660 did not
00:34:54.180 include any,
00:34:55.100 his words,
00:34:56.000 new marble
00:34:56.660 or new
00:34:57.300 fountains.
00:34:57.880 Yet an
00:34:58.620 examination
00:34:59.160 of the
00:34:59.940 plan approved
00:35:01.100 to renovate
00:35:02.640 the Federal
00:35:04.200 Reserve
00:35:04.960 shows that
00:35:05.940 it includes
00:35:06.580 all of
00:35:07.600 those things.
00:35:08.320 Congresswoman
00:35:10.060 Anna
00:35:10.480 Polina
00:35:10.980 Luna of
00:35:11.580 Florida,
00:35:12.000 who we
00:35:12.340 spoke to
00:35:13.360 earlier,
00:35:14.860 spoke of
00:35:15.460 earlier,
00:35:16.340 says that
00:35:17.120 it is
00:35:17.460 very clear
00:35:18.380 that Powell
00:35:19.340 purging
00:35:20.000 himself while
00:35:20.860 testifying to
00:35:21.560 Congress about
00:35:22.200 this insanely
00:35:23.660 profligate
00:35:24.920 $2.5
00:35:25.680 billion
00:35:25.980 renovation.
00:35:26.840 Powell
00:35:27.180 misrepresented
00:35:27.980 the facts
00:35:29.100 while being
00:35:30.220 grilled by
00:35:30.860 Senator
00:35:31.300 Cynthia
00:35:32.180 Loomis of
00:35:33.100 Wyoming,
00:35:34.180 sparking
00:35:34.760 widespread
00:35:35.520 outrage.
00:35:37.380 Powell has
00:35:37.980 frequently
00:35:38.660 endured
00:35:39.180 President
00:35:39.600 Trump's
00:35:40.000 wrath in
00:35:40.500 recent months
00:35:41.140 due to
00:35:41.860 his
00:35:42.120 manipulation
00:35:43.080 of the
00:35:44.040 interest
00:35:44.360 rates to
00:35:44.920 suppress
00:35:45.520 the
00:35:46.460 American
00:35:47.020 economic
00:35:47.840 recovery.
00:35:48.500 Trump has
00:35:49.480 not held
00:35:50.200 back any
00:35:50.840 criticism for
00:35:51.620 Powell and
00:35:52.100 demanded that
00:35:52.660 he resign.
00:35:53.980 Powell may be
00:35:54.940 forced out
00:35:55.580 before long
00:35:56.280 because of
00:35:56.760 this ongoing
00:35:57.520 scandal.
00:35:58.580 If it is
00:35:59.200 found that
00:35:59.800 he lied
00:36:00.640 under oath
00:36:01.300 to Congress
00:36:01.900 on the
00:36:02.360 material
00:36:02.880 question of
00:36:04.180 the cost
00:36:04.760 of these
00:36:05.160 renovations
00:36:05.880 to the
00:36:06.280 taxpayers,
00:36:07.420 he could
00:36:07.780 be remembered
00:36:08.320 as one of
00:36:08.860 the most
00:36:09.140 corrupt and
00:36:09.800 ineffective
00:36:10.460 Federal Reserve
00:36:11.620 chairs in
00:36:12.640 American history.
00:36:14.480 And considering
00:36:15.360 the central
00:36:16.000 bank's long
00:36:16.880 history of
00:36:17.420 printing money
00:36:18.000 for big
00:36:18.560 banks while
00:36:19.560 screwing
00:36:20.160 average,
00:36:21.160 ordinary,
00:36:21.860 everyday
00:36:22.220 Americans,
00:36:23.340 well,
00:36:23.760 that's saying
00:36:24.720 an awful
00:36:25.320 lot.

00:36:26.800 meantime,
