The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 07-21-25

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 0.80

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

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, 0.50

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. 0.93

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 0.94

00:14:16.300 with crooks such as his police commissioner, 0.96

00:14:18.480 his fire commissioner, 0.91

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 0.93

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. 0.85

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 1.00

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 1.00

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.

00:16:44.840 The Stone Zone

00:16:46.400 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

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 0.81

00:21:10.820 the ridiculous moniker

00:21:12.740 Washington commanders, 0.88

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 0.97

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 0.99

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 1.00

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. 0.70

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 0.67

00:25:34.960 child sex 0.96

00:25:36.000 trafficking. 0.75

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 0.97

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 0.89

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 0.98

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.

00:31:54.860 Whatever you

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.

00:31:59.680 The Stone

00:32:06.580 The Stone

00:32:08.440 Entertaining

00:32:09.060 and informative

00:32:10.200 on the Red

00:32:11.040 Apple Podcast

00:32:12.060 Network.

00:32:16.460 This is

00:32:17.980 Roger Stone

00:32:18.900 and you're

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 0.71

00:36:09.140 corrupt and 0.92

00:36:09.800 ineffective 0.92

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 0.88

00:36:19.560 screwing

00:36:20.160 average,

00:36:21.160 ordinary,
