00:00:00.440 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:08.360 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:00:12.020 We have a very special night because tonight you have Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone.
00:00:17.920 That's right. We're taking your calls at 800-848-9222.
00:00:22.760 That's 800-848-9222 right here in the Stone Zone.
00:00:28.440 Many of the things that President Donald Trump is doing on crucial issues like trade, immigration, foreign policy are improving America's and our lives immensely.
00:00:39.580 But the country will not be put on the path to true greatness until Obama-era thugs, including perhaps even the head honcho himself, are held accountable for the crime of seditious conspiracy and, yes, treason.
00:00:55.540 An article by Scott Powell that I saw in The Federalist listed the crimes that, aside from Russiagate, the Obama administration has been responsible for.
00:01:06.280 Obama oversaw Fast and Furious.
00:01:09.300 That was a gun-running operation for the Mexican cartels.
00:01:13.100 It resulted in the tragic death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
00:01:17.680 Obama's IRS blocked tax exemptions for his political opponents, discriminating on no other basis except for their pro-Christian or pro-constitutional stances.
00:01:29.380 Obama oversaw the Benghazi stand-down and the tragic deaths of our men there, and the subsequent cover-up, which involved Hillary Clinton.
00:01:39.660 Obama gave $1.7 billion in pallets of cash to Iran.
00:01:46.560 That was off the books, subsidizing their terrorist behavior that has now boiled over into war with Israel.
00:01:55.020 Again, you're in the Stone Zone.
00:01:57.720 You've got Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone.
00:02:01.160 We're taking your calls at 800-848-9222.
00:02:04.660 Also, you can email us your questions at stone at stonezone.com.
00:02:11.620 It's easy to get focused on underlings like former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, or even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
00:02:27.140 And, of course, they all deserve to be charged and have a fair trial, after which they should be jailed for their multitude of crimes.
00:02:37.020 But the person at the top of the pyramid, well, we now know that to be none other than Barack Hussein Obama.
00:02:44.920 He oversaw all of these crimes, and these are just the ones we know about.
00:02:49.340 So let's do a thought experiment.
00:02:52.580 If Obama were a diabolical foreign agent sent on a mission to usurp and destroy America from within, we have acted any different than he did as president.
00:03:02.900 Justice and the rule of law in America will not return until the truth about Obama is completely and totally uncovered.
00:03:11.620 And this demon, who has waged war against our values, is convicted.
00:03:17.920 Now, there is an argument that the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court shields the former president from conviction of any crime.
00:03:30.240 I don't believe that that immunity exists after his presidency.
00:03:35.380 And I think what you have here is a continuing seditious conspiracy that leads all the way to the raid in Mar-a-Lago, which, of course, took place in Palm Beach, Florida.
00:03:47.920 The acts of trying to keep him off the ballot, the act of trying to bankrupt him, the act of trying to jail him, the act of accusing him of electoral mischief in the perfectly legal filing of alternative electors are all part of the same continuing seditious conspiracy.
00:04:12.400 One of the questions that I got online today pertained to the question of whether or not these culprits would have to stand trial in the District of Columbia, where you have a 70, I think actually a closer to 80 percent African-American population.
00:04:32.420 And it is overwhelmingly Democrats in terms of a jury pool, not to mention, of course, the judges, all of whom are partisan and exceedingly biased.
00:04:44.160 But because this is a continuing seditious conspiracy, I believe that a grand jury can be convened in South Florida.
00:04:52.800 And I believe that criminal charges will ultimately brought there.
00:04:58.800 John Solomon of Just the News reports that a prosecutor has already been designated and a grand jury has already been seated.
00:05:06.080 Actually, grand juries, according to Solomon, in both D.C. and Florida.
00:05:11.980 So I think we are about to see justice in this matter.
00:05:17.020 The Russian collusion hoax is the greatest single dirty trick in American history.
00:05:23.460 It's an abuse of power in which the full authority of the United States government and the extraordinary capabilities of our intelligence agencies were weaponized using two pieces of fraudulent evidence.
00:05:36.520 The so-called Steele dossier, which CIA director John Brennan, FBI director James Comey and Mueller, which honcho Andrew Weissman knew was a fugazi.
00:05:49.900 They knew it was a fabrication paid for by Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
00:05:54.960 But they nonetheless used it to rationalize the FISA warrants, which authorized the spying on President Donald Trump's campaign, but also the appointment of Robert Mueller, who we now know was a figurehead.
00:06:11.020 He was, in fact, non-compass mentis.
00:06:14.160 This is the largest dirty trick in American history.
00:06:17.940 All right, let's go to the phones.
00:06:19.520 Alice in Ohio, you're in the Stone Zone.
00:06:23.040 Welcome to the zone.
00:06:24.200 What is your question?
00:06:26.040 Well, thank you very much.
00:06:27.260 And I really enjoy your commentary.
00:06:29.660 I love your show on Sunday and listen to you every night.
00:06:33.440 It's good to know these people are finally going to have to answer to what they did.
00:06:37.840 My question is, I love your recipes.
00:06:40.360 I cannot write that fast.
00:06:42.800 Are you actually going to produce a cookbook?
00:06:45.660 I am, in fact, going to write a cookbook.
00:06:47.820 It is mostly written, as a matter of fact.
00:06:50.080 Now, as you know, I'm half Hungarian and half Italian.
00:06:53.500 Italian from the waist down.
00:06:56.020 And most of my recipes, of course, will be a mixture of Italian and Hungarian.
00:07:01.460 You'll have Hungarian stuffed cabbage, but you'll also have my epic, famous Sunday gravy,
00:07:07.260 which is a recipe I got from my mother, who got it from her mother, who got it from her mother.
00:07:12.440 One-third pork, one-third beef, one-third ground veal.
00:07:17.840 You need a mortgage for the last part.
00:07:20.620 And, of course, it cooks for about four hours.
00:07:23.040 I only use San Marzano tomatoes.
00:07:25.800 That's not a brand of tomato.
00:07:27.460 That's a type of tomato grown in a specific valley in Italy.
00:07:31.720 So, yes, the Stone Zone cookbook is coming.
00:07:36.820 I have to finish this book that I'm writing about the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
00:07:42.840 The government has never issued a final report on the attempt on Ronald Reagan's life.
00:07:49.200 Getting documents from the government through the Freedom of Information Act is largely a waste of time
00:07:55.280 because most of what they give you is almost completely and totally redacted.
00:07:59.940 But I did a lot of hard-edged reporting, interviewing doctors and Secret Service agents
00:08:05.540 and others who were present that fateful day.
00:08:08.260 And that book, which is entitled Bushwhacked, The Real Story of the Attempted Assassination of President Ronald Reagan,
00:08:15.580 should be out by Christmas.
00:08:17.740 Thank you very much for your question.
00:08:20.740 Let's see.
00:08:22.400 We have Pete in Lakewood.
00:08:25.200 Pete, you have a question.
00:08:27.540 I have a statement.
00:08:29.460 Barack Obama can be charged.
00:08:31.980 Well, Jared said he can be charged.
00:08:33.560 But he did, while it's the purview of his pregnancy,
00:08:38.760 Mark Levin said the same thing.
00:08:40.660 So did Judge Richard Weinberger, a Democrat.
00:08:44.940 They're all on the same page.
00:08:46.200 And I bet you if you had Jonathan Turley on, he would say the same thing.
00:08:51.760 That's an excellent point.
00:08:53.000 Maybe we will invite Jonathan Turley.
00:08:54.620 I have high regard for Mark Levin's legal acumen,
00:08:58.800 and I've seen him make that argument.
00:09:00.640 David Schoen, who I think is probably the most prominent
00:09:04.300 and most capable criminal defense attorney in the country,
00:09:08.320 says that it is his belief that Obama could only be charged after being successfully impeached,
00:09:14.160 but that a president can be impeached after they have left office.
00:09:18.500 That's an argument, by the way, that the Democrats made
00:09:22.200 during President Donald Trump's second impeachment.
00:09:26.500 So they are hoisted on their own petard.
00:09:30.180 I thank you for your question.
00:09:32.540 Let's go to Chip in Oklahoma.
00:09:35.700 Chip, you have a question.
00:09:37.860 I sure do, Roger.
00:09:39.220 First, it's a pleasure to talk to you.
00:09:41.180 You're a great American, sir.
00:09:42.660 Really admire you and admire all the work that you've done on behalf of MAGA.
00:09:46.420 My question would be, what do you think Trump is going to do on cannabis
00:09:51.840 with the recent news and announcements and all that?
00:09:56.680 So what do you think he's going to do, and what do you think the impact of that will be,
00:10:00.980 and what do you think the long-term plan would be?
00:10:04.900 It's an excellent question.
00:10:06.440 Based on what the president has said so far,
00:10:08.940 first let me say, starting in 2016 when he entered politics,
00:10:12.340 President Trump has always said that cannabis is a state's rights issue,
00:10:17.260 that the states have a right to decide whether it's legal
00:10:20.200 and for what purposes it is legal.
00:10:23.400 More recently, as you know, he endorsed a constitutional amendment in Florida
00:10:27.640 that would have completely legalized cannabis,
00:10:31.860 but it takes two-thirds of the vote in Florida.
00:10:34.200 Although the amendment did get more than 50 percent of the vote, it fell short.
00:10:39.220 I think he's moving in the right direction in the sense that today,
00:10:43.240 cannabis is a Schedule I drug classified with heroin, for example,
00:10:49.140 and I'm of the personal belief that cannabis is very useful as medicine.
00:10:54.940 There hasn't been enough research into it,
00:10:56.780 but one of the reasons why there has not been enough research
00:10:58.960 is because it is still federally continued to be criminally illegal.
00:11:03.660 So moving it to Schedule 3, I think, is a step in the right direction.
00:11:10.100 Personally, I think that alcohol is, when it comes to overall health,
00:11:14.580 far more damaging, far more dangerous, yet alcohol is legal.
00:11:19.200 We regulate it and we tax it.
00:11:21.440 In the end, I would like to see cannabis completely and totally descheduled.
00:11:26.560 I do think that we want to be careful that it is not sprayed with chemicals,
00:11:32.860 that it is regulated and taxed in an appropriate manner.
00:11:37.780 But I do think with more than 38 states now having legal cannabis of some form,
00:11:45.320 many cases medicinal, but in a few cases recreational,
00:11:49.960 it's time to bring federal law in line with state law.
00:11:53.860 Thank you, Chip, for your thoughtful question.
00:11:57.040 Tonight we have Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone.
00:12:00.900 That number, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222,
00:12:07.320 or go to stone at stonezone.com.
00:12:12.160 You can send us your questions there as well.
00:12:14.700 Whatever you do, don't touch that dial because we'll be right back.
00:12:19.160 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative.
00:12:22.560 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:12:52.560 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
00:12:56.120 Tonight you have Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone at 800-848-9222.
00:13:03.120 That's 800-848-9222.
00:13:06.780 Or you can email us your question at stone at stonezone.com.
00:13:12.880 Here is a question by email from Angelo in Queens, who says,
00:13:18.000 Democrat Zoran Mamdami says that he will remove the statue of Christopher Columbus from New York City.
00:13:28.040 What do you think of this?
00:13:29.300 Well, I think it's a terrible idea.
00:13:30.840 And I can tell you right now that the Italian American Civil Rights League,
00:13:36.080 which is a nonprofit organization set up to protect Italian American heritage and culture,
00:13:44.300 would most certainly wage a legal battle to stop the removal of the statue of Christopher Columbus.
00:13:52.240 And I believe that there would be peaceful protests.
00:13:55.260 I think there would be large peaceful protests if the Ayatollah Mamdami were to try that.
00:14:03.260 It's interesting that a new overnight tracking poll by Kaplan and Associates of a thousand New York City likely voters
00:14:12.580 shows that the three candidates, interestingly enough, of the four candidates, I should say,
00:14:22.420 the lowest unfavorable rating is Mamdami, the Democrat nominee, won the Democrat primary with a very low turnout.
00:14:32.360 He has a net unfavorable of 41, but that is 32, a very unfavorable and nine somewhat unfavorable.
00:14:43.520 Former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace ahead of impeachment, has an extraordinarily high unfavorable.
00:14:53.560 He was 41 percent, very unfavorable, 16 percent, somewhat unfavorable for a net total of 57.
00:15:02.840 And of course, there's current Mayor Eric Adams.
00:15:05.720 I've never quite seen anything like this.
00:15:08.060 He's at 68 unfavorable.
00:15:10.600 That would be 48, very unfavorable and only 20 percent, somewhat unfavorable.
00:15:17.280 And of course, there is then also Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
00:15:22.000 He clocks in at 40 percent, very unfavorable, only 13 percent, somewhat unfavorable.
00:15:29.020 So Sliwa's unfavorable rating and therefore his ability to potentially gain, almost matching Mamdami at 41.
00:15:39.720 Now, in the latest head-to-heads in the Kaplan poll, it was 38 percent for Democrat Mamdami,
00:15:48.480 23 percent for Independent Andrew Cuomo, 13 percent for Mayor Eric Adams, and 18 percent for Republican Curtis Sliwa.
00:16:00.680 That is a gain of two for Sliwa.
00:16:03.760 It is a drop from 41 to 38, so a drop of three for Mamdami.
00:16:11.040 And unfavorable actually went up.
00:16:14.660 It was previously 5 percent.
00:16:16.680 It is now going to 8 percent.
00:16:18.640 This is very typical of what you see when there is a race in flux, when you have this level of volatility.
00:16:25.760 I point out to you that no candidate has broken 50 percent, which still shows that this is a race.
00:16:32.580 On the other hand, there is great institutional advantage of just being the Democrat nominee in an overwhelmingly Democrat city.
00:16:42.580 You're tuned in to The Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:16:46.800 We're going to be taking more of your calls at 800-848-9222.
00:16:51.720 Whatever you do, stay with us here in The Zone because we'll be right back.
00:16:56.240 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:17:10.000 And we're back in The Stone Zone.
00:17:12.620 Tonight, you've got Roger Stone in The Zone and on the phone.
00:17:16.440 Harriet in Brooklyn, you've been patiently waiting.
00:17:19.380 Welcome to The Stone Zone.
00:17:20.720 Harriet, what is your question?
00:17:22.840 You are great.
00:17:23.860 Thank you.
00:17:24.360 You're a patriot.
00:17:25.000 Roger Mondani is a jihadist.
00:17:29.120 He's a proxy of Iran.
00:17:30.940 He's a clear and present danger to Western civilization.
00:17:34.400 He's Muslim Brotherhood.
00:17:36.060 And he's a follower of, you know, Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand musty of Jerusalem who joined with Adolf Hitler to take out Western civilization.
00:17:47.020 I'd like to ask you, sir, he is cracking up now.
00:17:50.500 He's going, he is making incendiary statements against our great president, Donald J.
00:17:54.780 Trump.
00:17:54.960 So he's becoming really dangerous and he's cracking up.
00:17:57.440 I'd like to ask you how the investigations are going with Eddie Antar's brother and should he join with the investigation services, the secret services in Washington to investigate this bastard?
00:18:11.920 Because he is he's out to destroy us in New York.
00:18:17.720 And this will spread like a cancer to every state in the union.
00:18:21.840 Being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, he's very secretive.
00:18:26.560 And I'd like to know how all this stuff is going.
00:18:29.980 Maybe they all the investigative services like Bo Dietl and Eddie Antar and all would coalesce and go after him.
00:18:38.980 Thank you, Roger.
00:18:40.180 All right.
00:18:40.460 Well, thank you very much.
00:18:41.700 Harriet is, of course, his policies that are most troubling.
00:18:44.900 When you want to defund the police, when you say that violence is a social construct or violence is a serious problem, when you want to do away with cash bail, when you think that the answer to all of our problems is increasing taxes on white people.
00:19:04.400 I didn't say it.
00:19:05.180 He did.
00:19:05.620 Which we really means is a tax increase on the working people of New York City.
00:19:11.260 Large businesses will flee.
00:19:13.520 Small businesses will flee.
00:19:15.080 And, of course, in the meantime, he's offering the masses hope and change and free everything.
00:19:20.760 I honestly agree that he continues to say the intifada is a legitimate political position.
00:19:28.340 Yet the latest polls show that he still commands 43 percent among Jewish American voters in New York City, which is extremely hard to understand.
00:19:39.240 Now, Sam Antar with white collar fraud tells me he has a bombshell report coming.
00:19:45.480 I don't know the specifics.
00:19:46.820 He tells me it will be ready Sunday.
00:19:49.180 I'm looking forward to reporting on that.
00:19:51.660 But right now, the Ayatollah Mamdami is leading in the race for mayor with a divided opposition.
00:20:01.520 The sad part is if you got any of these candidates out of the race, and I don't think that any of them are going to get out of the race, but I think the low man is the candidate who should get out of the race.
00:20:13.420 That would be Eric Adams.
00:20:14.620 He has continued to trail at 13 percent.
00:20:17.880 His unfavorable rating at 68 percent shows that he has no upward mobility and that he has a fruitless quest ahead.
00:20:27.740 If he dropped, I'm still not certain that a number of those votes would not shift to Mamdami.
00:20:35.500 I'm not sure that it is enough, but we're watching it very, very closely.
00:20:39.780 And I thank you so much for joining us tonight in the zone.
00:20:43.900 Here is another question.
00:20:44.960 This comes from Alex in Columbus, Ohio, who says Barack Obama says that the Senate Intelligence Committee report demonstrates that there was Russian collusion, the 2016 election, and that therefore all of these claims by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, are false.
00:21:06.100 Well, the Senate Intelligence Committee report, I've been through every page of it.
00:21:10.180 It's a pasted up collection of all of the claims against Donald Trump and his supporters.
00:21:16.160 That's not proof.
00:21:17.100 Those are accusations.
00:21:18.760 This looks like a cut and paste from the Huffington Post.
00:21:21.740 I can tell you firsthand, I think there are five references to me and the report, and every one of them is factually, categorically false.
00:21:29.840 I think, frankly, Alex, they are busted.
00:21:33.860 We now have hard evidence of a seditious conspiracy that was first approved by Hillary Clinton.
00:21:40.840 We have the classified email that proves that she specifically approved the Russian collusion hoax to distract from the illegal email server issue, which was majorly problematic for her.
00:21:58.780 And also to sow doubt about the legitimacy of Donald Trump's presidency.
00:22:05.160 So I reject the Senate Intelligence Committee report as bunk.
00:22:10.020 And I think that the mainstream media trying to trivialize the hard evidence that Tulsi Gabbard has brought forward, well, that's not going to work in a court of law.
00:22:22.340 Alex, thank you for your question.
00:22:24.560 You're tuned into the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:22:30.060 President Donald Trump is reportedly getting real with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders telling them what needs to be done for peace to finally be achieved in the long, protracted war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:22:46.420 Trump addressed the leaders during a conference call on Wednesday where he stated his goal for the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this Friday in Alaska.
00:22:57.880 This will be the first time that the Russian president has been in the United States, even if it is the noncontinental United States, the state of Alaska, in some time.
00:23:08.600 This is not just a meeting to feel out where everyone is.
00:23:14.100 A statement for the spokesman for the Russians say that President Trump has made a proposal which the Russians say is acceptable.
00:23:25.000 So I think we are very close to seeing the end of this war.
00:23:30.340 The president has stated that landslops would need to happen for a peace deal to take place, but ultimately said Ukraine and Russia would have to come to terms on that.
00:23:41.280 The president hopes that he can bring both sides together for an immediate ceasefire.
00:23:45.740 Zelensky and European leaders, of course, have fought back, arguing that President Trump's meeting with Putin was a bad idea, that more sanctions should be put on Russia and its partners and more weapons and millions and more of our tax dollars should be shipped to Ukraine.
00:24:02.820 I frankly think the American people have had it with this war.
00:24:06.100 I also think it is abundantly clear that no matter how much we send the Ukrainians, they cannot win this war.
00:24:14.300 They're now at the point where we are conscripting 14-year-olds.
00:24:20.380 This, I think, is drawing to a close.
00:24:23.780 It is, I think, will be the crowning achievement for Donald Trump.
00:24:27.980 He has already achieved a ceasefire between Pakistan and India.
00:24:33.740 He's ended the war between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
00:24:40.040 He has a ceasefire right now between Iran and Israel.
00:24:44.300 He takes his mandate for peace very, very seriously.
00:24:49.220 And if he is successful this Friday in Alaska in bringing the Russian and Ukrainian conflict to an end, well, then he most definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:25:05.020 It remains to be seen, of course, whether that globalist Norwegian-based committee will give him the award.
00:25:14.860 Any ignoring of the president's position, I think, will delay the inevitable.
00:25:19.900 I don't believe there is a path forward for Ukraine to achieve victory.
00:25:23.100 There will only be more Ukrainians and Russians sent to their unnecessary deaths because of the delusions of grandeur of Zelensky and his delusional supporters in the West.
00:25:35.300 So we must all pray, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an independent or you're non-political, we all must pray.
00:25:42.220 The president's meeting with Vladimir Putin will be successful and lead ultimately to peace in the region.
00:25:50.100 You're tuned in to the Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:25:58.880 Here is a question.
00:26:01.360 This comes from, let's see, this is from Thomas in Cincinnati.
00:26:08.180 Thomas asks, how do you think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing in his fight to make America healthy again?
00:26:15.220 And that is an excellent question.
00:26:16.860 I think Robert F. Kennedy is a standout in President Trump's cabinet.
00:26:21.020 I think his doing away with the MRNA vaccination program is a major blow to big pharma.
00:26:31.280 I also support his fight to end big drug companies from advertising on radio and television.
00:26:40.520 We don't have advertising for cigarettes.
00:26:43.520 We don't have advertising for alcohol.
00:26:46.980 Those things are restricted.
00:26:48.660 I think we should, in fact, restrict advertising from big pharma.
00:26:54.020 So I think Robert Kennedy has done a spectacular job under a relentless attack by big pharma.
00:27:03.480 I can tell you, having lived inside the swamp for many years, that the big pharmaceutical companies have enormous political power in Washington.
00:27:12.760 They have a deep war chest to reward politically, reward their supporters and punish their enemies.
00:27:20.380 So I think Robert Kennedy is off to a very, very strong start.
00:27:25.760 Again, tonight you have Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone.
00:27:31.900 That number 800-848-9222.
00:27:37.700 800-848-9222.
00:27:41.560 We'll be happy to take your questions.
00:27:44.760 Tony in Clifton, New Jersey.
00:27:47.020 Tony, you've got a question.
00:27:47.980 Hi, Roger.
00:27:50.400 Thank you for taking my call.
00:27:52.140 So I would say that we're living in a time seeing the greatest president of all the presidents.
00:27:57.720 He's done so much in such a short time, and he's so amazing.
00:28:01.800 And yet I see a threat to our country with communism.
00:28:05.460 We're all talking about the different influences in our government, in our own government.
00:28:10.560 What do you think about extending the oath of office?
00:28:14.900 The oath of office was extended after the Civil War.
00:28:18.300 It was extended after the Cold War.
00:28:21.600 And I think now we're in a post-Biden four-year war that we're recovering from, and we have so much communism in our government.
00:28:31.500 What do you think about the extended oath of office, sir?
00:28:34.500 I'm a constitutionalist, and therefore I am, unfortunately, as much as I love Donald Trump, and I think that he could serve, at least physically, mentally, in terms of capability, in other four-year terms, the end of this one.
00:28:49.280 I disagree with Steve Bannon, who constantly says between, say, he himself is running in 2028, which candidly is a joke, Americans like candidates who bathe, and supporting Donald Trump for another term.
00:29:05.100 The president is, in fact, limited to two terms.
00:29:08.420 Now, the Constitution doesn't say those have to be two consecutive terms.
00:29:13.080 He's already obviously served one term.
00:29:15.640 We're not even a year into his second term, but I think it is abundantly clear that he has no intention of running again or trying to extend the oath of office.
00:29:27.760 I would have to say that some kind of extenuating emergency would be required.
00:29:35.540 I don't see that happening.
00:29:36.720 I think it would be extra constitutional, and I'm still a constitutionalist.
00:29:41.940 Although the president certainly has had warm words for Vice President J.D. Vance in recent days, within the Republican Party, of which I'm a longtime member, having left only briefly to join the Libertarians when the GOP nominated Mitt Romney.
00:29:58.820 Couldn't stand that guy.
00:30:00.920 We do give a giant leg up to a sitting vice president in our party.
00:30:05.560 We believe in hegemony.
00:30:07.080 We believe in the natural order of things.
00:30:09.680 So assuming that J.D. Vance continues to perform as he has, I think he'd be a strong frontrunner.
00:30:18.120 And I think he, among others, Marco Rubio, I like him.
00:30:21.980 Tulsi Gabbard, I love her.
00:30:23.480 I've said on this show she will be the first woman president.
00:30:27.200 May not be in 2028, but it will happen in our lifetime.
00:30:32.560 We have a deep bench in our party.
00:30:35.420 Who do the Democrats have?
00:30:36.780 Kamala Harris?
00:30:39.740 Seriously?
00:30:40.580 Bernie Sanders?
00:30:41.800 Isn't he 101 years old?
00:30:44.060 Jasmine Crockett in AOC?
00:30:45.740 That'd be a heck of a ticket.
00:30:48.200 J.D. Pritzker.
00:30:49.420 I mean, last time that guy came to New York City, they wanted to make him his own borough.
00:30:54.240 I mean, in his high school yearbook, I saw him on page 41, 42, and 43.
00:31:00.160 Guy has his own zip code.
00:31:01.720 He's not going to be president of the United States.
00:31:05.480 Anyway, you are tuned in here to the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:31:10.000 Tonight, we have Roger Stone in the zone and on the phone at 800-848-9222.
00:31:17.600 And we'll be right back to take a few more of your questions.
00:31:21.260 We appreciate you joining us in the zone tonight.
00:31:24.380 God bless you for being here.
00:31:25.740 Whatever you do, don't touch that dial because, well, we'll be right back.
00:31:29.780 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative.
00:31:34.600 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:31:44.380 And you're back in the Stone Zone.
00:31:46.980 We're also taking your questions online.
00:31:49.300 Here is a question from Tony in Montclair, New Jersey, who says,
00:31:56.840 I saw a video of you this weekend in Las Vegas speaking with General Flynn and Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
00:32:05.000 Is it true that you have a tattoo of Richard Dixon on your back?
00:32:08.760 No, it is absolutely true.
00:32:10.400 I have a tattoo on my back.
00:32:12.800 It's about the size of a grapefruit.
00:32:14.400 Floats between my shoulder blades.
00:32:16.480 And it's really not a political statement.
00:32:19.020 What it is is a daily reminder, when I see it in the mirror, that in life, when things don't go your way,
00:32:26.300 when you get knocked down, when you suffer defeats and disappointments, when you're ready to quit,
00:32:32.020 that that is the time that you have to get up off the mat and get back in the fight, get back in the game.
00:32:39.840 See, the story of Richard Nixon, who was my mentor, to me is a story of persistence and resilience.
00:32:45.800 It's a it's an American story.
00:32:48.360 It was President Donald Trump who said the greatness comes not when things go always good for you.
00:32:54.060 But when you take some knocks, you suffer some defeats when sadness comes.
00:33:00.540 Because until one has been in the deepest valley, one cannot appreciate the majesty of the highest mountaintop.
00:33:09.540 He also said a man is not finished when he is defeated.
00:33:12.740 He's only finished when he quits.
00:33:15.800 So this is why I have that tattoo, which makes it impossible to be anonymous when you're naked and gets a lot of strange looks at the beach.
00:33:28.600 But I guess that's the way it is.
00:33:30.720 And a telltale sale, a sign of the political realignment that's underway nationwide.
00:33:35.740 Money from the Brotherhood of Teamsters Union is now flowing into the coffers for the first time of the Republican Party,
00:33:44.360 as they are happy with President Trump's America First trade policies.
00:33:48.900 And they're sick of the Democrats who become the party of illegal immigrants rather than workers.
00:33:55.340 Teamsters Union President Sean O'Brien was quoted as saying,
00:33:58.940 where the Democrats lost, they fell in love with their captors.
00:34:03.100 They fell in love with big money.
00:34:04.840 They fell in love with big tech.
00:34:06.200 And they forgot who they're supposed to be representing, working people.
00:34:10.460 You know why?
00:34:11.600 Because they're not in their communities, not in the neighborhoods.
00:34:15.500 They're not talking to the people that they're paid to represent.
00:34:18.840 In the second quarter of 2025, the Teamsters Political Action Committee gave $5,000 to the Republican Congressional Committee
00:34:27.740 and $62,000 to various House Republican candidates, many of whom are in tightly contested districts.
00:34:36.660 These donations might not yet be massive, but they do represent a shift in millions of blue-collar,
00:34:43.320 working-class voters who would never even have considered voting for the Republican Party
00:34:49.460 before Donald Trump came along and came down that golden escalator.
00:34:54.700 Donald Trump has changed forever the image of the Republican Party.
00:34:58.600 It is no longer the party of big business, no longer the party of Wall Street,
00:35:03.140 no longer the party of the country clubs and the financial elite.
00:35:08.040 It has become the party of the working class.
00:35:13.180 And that is why Donald Trump won while candidates like Mitt Romney and John McCain were narrowly defeated.
00:35:21.260 The Democrat Party has become the party of war, the party of censorship,
00:35:27.020 the party of corporate elitists, and the party of trade restrictions.
00:35:34.000 It is the Republican Party that I think is now part of a realignment in which common-sense Democrats
00:35:42.500 like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, now a Republican,
00:35:48.100 Governor Rob Blagojevich of Illinois have found common sense and common cause
00:35:54.260 with the Republican Party of Donald Trump.
00:35:57.140 This is a massive and I think permanent realignment in the country as the Democrat Party,
00:36:03.860 the old party of John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman, party it once believed in free enterprise,
00:36:09.460 capitalism, strong national defense, and, well, God.
00:36:13.300 That party literally no longer exists.
00:36:16.660 The Democrat Party is now the party of the Ayatollah Mamdami,
00:36:21.140 AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, and the radical, progressive, and indeed the Marxists.
