The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 08-25-25

00:00:00.480 Did you know that St. Luke's University Health Network, based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania,

00:00:05.680 has been recognized by the U.S. government as the highest performing health system in the United

00:00:10.720 States for quality? You heard right. St. Luke's number one recognition affirms our status as the

00:00:16.400 top leader among the most respected healthcare providers in the nation, including Houston

00:00:21.200 Methodist and the Mayo Clinic. To state it simply, if you want to receive the best care when you go

00:00:26.480 Go to a hospital? Come to St. Luke's.

00:00:30.960 The Stone Zone.

00:00:32.700 Entertaining and informative.

00:00:34.720 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:48.580 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:52.260 People love him and respect him. Roger Stone.

00:00:54.640 Now, get him a zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:01:01.720 Welcome to the Stone Zone.

00:01:04.720 It's amazing to see Democrats and liberals continuing to whine about the FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home and office last Friday.

00:01:17.480 It is very clear that the FBI under Kash Patel had probable cause to believe that John Bolton was in possession of certain classified documents that he had no right to obtain or possess.

00:01:33.360 These are the same people who tried to prosecute Donald Trump for holding on to classified documents, which under the Presidential Documents Act, he had full authorization and legal entitlement to.

00:01:48.700 This past week, we saw this raid.

00:01:51.740 It's just deserts, as far as I'm concerned, for one of the most heinous warmongers and most insidious subversives inside the first Trump administration.

00:02:00.040 John Bolton served as National Security Advisor in 2018, played a key role in convincing President Trump to reverse his September 17, 2018 order to declassify documents related to the FBI's crossfire hurricane investigation, including materials involving FBI informant Steph Halper.

00:02:23.040 Now, I actually know Steph Halper back from the Reagan-Bush days, was in a floating poker game with him.

00:02:30.420 He was a good poker player, but he was an even more dangerous FBI and CIA informant.

00:02:37.900 He was paid a half million dollars to set up Donald Trump in the entire phony Russian collusion hoax.

00:02:45.120 Four days after President Trump first ordered the declassification of the crossfire hurricane documents on September 21st, 2018, Trump was pushed into backing off full declassification after input from the Department of Justice, the FBI and certain foreign allies raised concerns about potential damage to our national security.

00:03:08.960 exposure of our intelligence sources and methods,

00:03:12.360 and our ongoing relationships with some of our international allies and partners.

00:03:18.140 Bolton advised President Trump of these risks and coordinated the cover-up.

00:03:23.160 Then after the Mar-a-Lago raid, where it is widely believed that President Trump

00:03:28.620 had within his legal rights obtained copies and held on to copies of the evidence

00:03:34.980 that would prove that the Russian collusion claims were a fraud.

00:03:39.860 Bolton repeatedly talked about the sensitive sources

00:03:42.780 that were in the documents that President Trump had.

00:03:46.400 The documents, now released to the public,

00:03:48.700 thanks to Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence,

00:03:53.480 were the Crossfire Hurricane documents.

00:03:55.940 The sensitive source they were coming up for was Stefan Halper,

00:03:59.600 the CIA and FBI operator who ran by the codename Mitch.

00:04:03.860 Halper was actually the architect of the Hillary plan, the Crossfire Hurricane's Omri informant,

00:04:10.760 who falsely claims to have witnessed the whole Trump-Russia collusion. 1.00

00:04:17.000 We know from a document declassified by Tulsi Gabbard that Hillary, rotten Clinton herself,

00:04:24.080 approved the plan specifically to distract attention from her use of an illegal email server

00:04:30.800 and also to sow seeds of doubt about the legitimacy of Trump's presidency.

00:04:37.240 So, in other words, Bolton was covering up for Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Comey, and the entire cabal,

00:04:44.620 because if those documents had been released, they would have showed that the entire Trump-Russian collusion narrative

00:04:50.000 was all based on paid-for, dirty operative Steph Halper's testimonies,

00:04:55.680 and their entitled House of Cards would have collapsed.

00:04:58.560 When former Congressman Devin Nunes, who was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, uncovered the operation and determined that CIA and FBI operative Steph Halper was the architect of the Russian coalition hoax, he was actually threatened with criminal prosecution if he tried to investigate further.

00:05:17.500 President Trump tried to declassify and release the records,

00:05:21.920 but he got pushback from Rod Rosenstein, the acting attorney general,

00:05:26.000 Gina Haspel, the CIA director, Christopher Wray, the FBI director,

00:05:31.220 John Bolton, then his national security advisor, and the British government.

00:05:36.360 They all claimed that sources' lives and allied operations would be endangered.

00:05:41.440 It was bunk. In fact, the only ones endangered were the deep state.

00:05:45.760 When Trump tried to release these documents once again in 2021, his home in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, was raided.

00:05:54.060 Enough of your crocodile tears.

00:05:56.960 It is now absolutely clear, based on the declassification of documents by Tulsi Gabbard,

00:06:02.620 that there was a seditious conspiracy to engage in treason and to undo the legitimate results of the 2016 election.

00:06:12.000 But because this seditious conspiracy, which began in 2016, continued into 2017, continued into the 2020 election, where Tulsi Gabbard has said she is examining evidence regarding the integrity of the computerized voting machines, this is a case that is ripe for prosecution.

00:06:37.000 But it means that trials of those ultimately charged would not necessarily happen in the District of Columbia, where, frankly, no Trump supporter, Republican, conservative, or free thinker can get a free trial, and where no Democrat or veteran of the Biden or Obama administrations will ever be convicted.

00:07:00.300 Stay tuned as we will follow this story as it develops.

00:07:04.320 Meanwhile, the New York City mayoral frontrunner, Zoran the Ayatollah Mamdani, is proposing to end all misdemeanor crimes in the city of New York, a move that could empower criminals on a scale never before seen in any Democrat-running, decaying hellscape.

00:07:22.240 Mamdani is a leading organizer of the Democratic Socialists of America, and the language in their platform makes it clear that one of their main goals is to uproot the rule of law.

00:07:33.820 Their Democrat Socialist of America platform states for all of the working class to achieve collective liberation,

00:07:40.920 we must constrain, diminish and abolish the carceral forces of the state from prisons and the police themselves to their manifestations in all forms throughout society.

00:07:52.560 In other words, they want to defend and shut down the New York City Police Department.

00:07:57.160 Mandami himself says that, quote, violence is a social construct, close quote.

00:08:02.460 No, what he means is violence is a crime, but he doesn't see it that way.

00:08:08.980 Misdemeanor offenses that Mamdami wants to repeal for the books would include

00:08:12.520 third-degree assault, forcible touching, driving while intoxicated,

00:08:17.700 third-degree drug possession, menacing, sexual misconduct,

00:08:22.140 third-degree identity theft, second-degree sexual abuse, and petite larceny.

00:08:27.700 Mamdami's playing down these radical beliefs on the campaign trail, 0.76

00:08:31.240 but that's only a ruse.

00:08:33.320 Mamdami knows he has to say whatever it takes to get into office,

00:08:36.900 where he will then have carte blanche to turn New York City's political structure upside down,

00:08:41.900 which has been his life's goal as an avowed Marxist.

00:08:45.640 May God have mercy on the people of New York City,

00:08:48.360 and may the city serve as an example to the rest of the country of what is to come

00:08:53.200 if the Democrat Party is not crushed in the midterms and beyond.

00:09:01.240 President Trump, in the meantime, has signed an executive order that will bring an end to the insane policies of cashless bail for criminals in Washington, D.C.

00:09:11.040 It will also start the process of ending cashless bail nationwide, including in New York City and the city of Chicago, where crime, despite the fact that they cooked the statistics, is actually skyrocketing.

00:09:23.160 Under the guise of criminal justice reform, states and localities have been ending mandatory cash bail for violent criminals.

00:09:32.800 As a result, criminals have been let out of jail but are free to skip their trial dates before going on to commit more crimes against innocent, unsuspecting Americans. 0.85

00:09:42.620 Cashless bail has been pushed under the guise of social justice and is another one of the Black Lives Matter schemes that effectively defunds the police.

00:09:53.160 The White House said in a statement,

00:09:55.680 cashless bail policies allow dangerous individuals to immediately return to the streets

00:10:00.740 and further endanger law-abiding, hardworking Americans because they know our laws will not be enforced.

00:10:08.100 This executive order fulfills President Trump's campaign to crack down on the left-wing jurisdictions

00:10:13.560 that refuse to prosecute dangerous criminals and to set violent felonies loose on cashless bail.

00:10:20.680 The executive orders expect to be followed by legislation introduced by my friend, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York, that would eliminate cashless bail nationwide.

00:10:31.480 Meanwhile, we see the disastrous rebrand of Cracker Barrel.

00:10:36.920 It has become viral news on social media as the masses express disdain towards corporate changes that have stripped the cluttered hokey charm from the highway adjacent restaurant chain and replaced it with a soulless postmodern Drek logo, throwing out 47 years of history, flushing it down the toilet in one fell swoop.

00:11:00.480 Swoop. Cracker Barrel has embarked on a $700 million rebranding effort to create a lighter,

00:11:08.160 brighter, and more evolved experience. They seek to be relevant in the cultural conversation of the

00:11:14.280 day, taking the emphasis off of providing crispy fried chicken and savory country gravy and

00:11:20.120 excellent meatloaf to their patriots, and instead putting that effort behind sponsoring LGBT pride

00:11:27.180 parades and other organizations promoting a woke agenda. There may be more to it than all of this,

00:11:34.240 the silly logos fun to pick at, but there's a darker side to it in my opinion. Here's a few

00:11:39.960 key facts to think about. Cracker Barrel averages a 1.6% profit, which is substantially less than

00:11:47.180 the industry standard for casual dining, which achieves a 3-5% profit margin. Cracker Barrel

00:11:54.520 owns three acre plots of land on 468 interstate exits all over the country. Making obviously

00:12:02.580 bad choices to alienate the customer base will drive down the stock price for Cracker Barrel

00:12:07.740 and make it affordable for a corporation to buy back. 65% of the Cracker Barrel Corporation is

00:12:14.020 currently owned by private equity firms. Is this the time that Blackstone or BlackRock steps in

00:12:20.480 and snaps up all of that real estate.

00:12:23.060 Meanwhile, Steak and Shake has undergone a resurgence

00:12:25.580 doing just the opposite.

00:12:27.440 They've started to use beef tallow to cut their fries

00:12:30.420 like McDonald's used to do in their heyday.

00:12:34.780 Frankly, McDonald's French fries today taste like plastic.

00:12:37.800 They have no flavor.

00:12:39.720 RFK has been a champion of returning to using beef tallow

00:12:43.800 to cook their fries.

00:12:45.500 The folks at Steak and Shake have also begun phasing out

00:12:47.980 all seed oils from their foods.

00:12:50.120 They've started to accept Bitcoin as payment for their menu.

00:12:53.840 It's a forward-thinking move that will pay dividends, I think, well into the future.

00:12:59.180 Their stock price and profits have surged as a result of these healthy changes.

00:13:04.260 Steak and Shake adeptly understood that embracing MAGA values,

00:13:07.940 that the public would respond positively, putting them on the map for millions of consumers

00:13:12.580 who may have otherwise ignored the chain.

00:13:15.800 Let this be a lesson to everyone on Wall Street.

00:13:18.780 Go woke, go broke. You're listening to The Roger Stone Show right here on the Red Apple Audio

00:13:25.080 Networks. Meanwhile, in the news, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, former senior advisor and chief of

00:13:31.580 staff to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has been charged with running a bribery empire

00:13:36.280 throughout the city while serving under Mayor Adams. Lewis-Martin is being accused of taking

00:13:42.500 $75,000 in cash, luxury perks, food and drink, and even getting an active role next to Forrest

00:13:49.980 Whitaker. Lewis Martin and her co-conspirators allegedly exploited the city's $7 billion in

00:13:56.180 contracts related to the migrant crisis, manipulated street redesign projects, secured

00:14:02.080 home renovations, and meddled in building permits, collecting bribe money every step of the way 0.85

00:14:08.000 to hook up their cronies. This comes one day after Winnie Greco, another Adams advisor,

00:14:15.340 no relationship to former New York police officer Sal Greco, handed a potato chip bag full of money

00:14:21.540 to a reporter in an apparent attempt to buy them off of this story. It's instances like this to

00:14:27.980 make it clear why Zoray Mamdami is the overwhelming favorite to win the New York City mayor's race.

00:14:32.740 It's not because the people in New York City are Marxists or socialists or that they're

00:14:36.500 jihadists, is that people are sick of the corrupt machine politicians like Adams and

00:14:41.260 former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Mamdami, without being too specific, is offering them

00:14:46.880 hope and change. And unfortunately, many New Yorkers are not focusing on the implications

00:14:52.180 of the actual policies that Mamdami proposes. We'll be talking more about this race as we go

00:14:58.380 along, but one thing is clear. I'll go on the record as saying this right now. No matter what

00:15:03.240 happens. Mayor Eric Adams will run fourth in this contest. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening

00:16:52.920 prioritizes user growth revenue and profits over child safety every parent should be aware of the

00:17:01.120 clear and present danger poised to their children by roadblocks so they can prevent the unthinkable

00:17:06.120 from ever happening in their own home. Now, nightmarish stories about child grooming on

00:17:11.640 roadblocks have emerged, including a derelict mother contacting her birth child in foster care

00:17:16.960 on the roadblocks platform and encouraging her daughter to murder her foster parents

00:17:21.820 and her infant sister. You can't make this stuff up. A 13-year-old girl was groomed by a predator 0.96

00:17:40.420 and later actually attempted suicide. There are hundreds, if not thousands of more of these types

00:17:46.720 of instances occurring on Roblox, all the more reason to keep the cell phones and computer devices

00:17:52.760 out of the hands of your children and grandchildren or to monitor their use extensively.

00:17:59.260 These are dangerous instruments, and they cannot be abused.

00:18:22.760 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:18:38.800 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:18:42.440 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:18:46.340 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:18:48.740 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:18:51.660 now as they treated him very unfairly now get him his own it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:19:00.540 welcome back to the stone zone jeffrey epstein accomplice jeslene maxwell has given sworn

00:19:08.380 testimony stating that she never saw president trump engage in any wrongdoing during her

00:19:13.540 many years as epstein's co-conspirator confident and pimp this is not news to me i explored and

00:19:21.640 and researched the Epstein case very extensively for my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women.

00:19:28.500 The longest chapter in the book, Chapter 7, is entitled Orgy Island.

00:19:33.680 What people don't know is that Epstein's butler, Alberto Rodriguez, who was then dying of cancer,

00:19:41.320 sold Epstein's telephone book to a New York journalist.

00:19:45.420 but that doesn't mean that everyone in his book is guilty of any illegal or inappropriate behavior

00:19:52.280 but the butler did circle the names of those he claimed were involved in child sex trafficking or

00:20:00.420 were material witnesses to child sex trafficking. Maxwell stated that she felt Trump and Epstein

00:20:07.780 were friendly like people in social settings but she did not think they were close friends. She also

00:20:13.320 did not ever recall Trump being at Epstein's house in New York. That is consistent with my

00:20:18.960 research and my reporting. She also stated that she never saw the president in any time of

00:20:23.760 massage setting, and she never witnessed the president in any inappropriate meeting in any

00:20:29.280 way. Now, we know that Donald Trump never visited Epstein's island. We know that Donald Trump never

00:20:34.900 visited Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. We know that Donald Trump never visited Epstein's Paris

00:20:42.560 apartment. We know that he was at Epstein's home in Palm Beach on one occasion, according to the

00:20:50.120 sworn testimony of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims who refused a large cash

00:20:58.300 settlement in order to continue her lawsuit against Epstein. We're told only months ago that

00:21:04.700 she committed suicide, having interviewed her for six hours and two three-hour sessions and read

00:21:11.820 all of her sworn testimony. Frankly, I doubt that. But according to her sworn testimony,

00:21:18.500 the one and only time she saw Donald Trump at Epstein's home was for a fundraiser for a

00:21:24.640 social nonprofit, a charitable nonprofit in Palm Beach, and that Trump acted as a perfect

00:21:32.240 gentleman. Now, Maxwell also says in a separate statement that former President Bill Clinton

00:21:39.360 never visited the island. Unfortunately, the FAA passenger manifest, which I use extensively in my

00:21:48.600 book, The Clinton's War on Women, shows that Bill Clinton visited the island at least four times,

00:21:54.340 but was on Epstein's airplane at least 26 times. We also know from the sworn testimony of Virginia

00:22:02.520 Roberts-Guffray, that she identified Bill Clinton as being on the island, therefore

00:22:08.800 quote-unquote parties, on at least three occasions.

00:22:13.900 So the testimony of Maxwell does corroborate victims' attorneys and other people close

00:22:19.800 to the situation who, like me, have said throughout the years that there is no evidence whatsoever

00:22:24.600 of inappropriate behavior by President Donald Trump.

00:22:28.120 It also further proves that Donald Trump is innocent, had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile network.

00:22:34.760 In fact, we know definitively that Trump cut Epstein off in 2005.

00:22:41.060 That is prior to Epstein ever being exposed and charged as a sex criminal in the state of Florida.

00:22:50.060 Now, in that instance, after various reports, Chief Michael Ryder of the Palm Beach Police Department conducted a six-month undercover investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and handed the state's attorney in Palm Beach a case involving 33 underage children, women, girls at that point,

00:23:13.580 and an ancillary case of statutory rape involving at least 21 underage girls.

00:23:21.140 The police chief was shocked when the state's attorney turned around after his own investigation

00:23:28.020 and charged Jeffrey Epstein with one count of solicitation.

00:23:33.440 Only after complaints from the police chief did they bump that up to one count of solicitation of a minor.

00:23:40.920 Still a serious crime, but not nearly as serious as the crime of child sex trafficking.

00:23:48.420 Asked after he had served 15 months of an 18-month sentence, which he was allowed to serve in the air-conditioned Palm Beach County Jail, as opposed to a Florida State Penitentiary like every other convicted sex criminal in the Sunshine State,

00:24:06.600 Epstein said his crime was no different than, quote, stealing a bagel.

00:24:12.100 The Democrats and the deep state are continuing to perpetuating the Epstein hoax on Trump,

00:24:17.620 trying to get the focus also of real child sex predators, who I believe are still at large.

00:24:24.880 It's time, once again, to release all the grand jury testimony and relevant information

00:24:29.920 held by the government with information about Epstein's operation

00:24:33.240 that are currently being withheld from the public.

00:24:36.100 But unfortunately, judges in New York, in Florida, all Democrats, I might add,

00:24:42.260 all appointees of either Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Joe Biden

00:24:46.580 have refused to release any of that grand jury testimony,

00:24:50.040 despite the fact that the target of the grand jury testimony, Jeffrey Epstein, is deceased.

00:24:57.320 Lawyers tell me that one is deceased, they no longer have rights.

00:25:00.740 There is no reason not to release this material would clear the air.

00:25:05.660 I pointed out that it was the Trump administration in 2019 that charged Jeffrey Epstein with one count of child sex trafficking and an additional count of conspiracy to engage in child sex trafficking.

00:25:21.520 We need a full level of transparency.

00:25:23.720 I think that's what's necessary to make America great again and to make treason and child sex trafficking punishable again.

00:25:33.020 Once again, I agree with those who are calling for full disclosure.

00:25:37.500 It's comical to see people like Senator Richard Durbin, Dick Durbin of Illinois,

00:25:42.560 jumping up and down, screaming about full disclosure when he sponsored legislation to block the information from the American public previous to the recent scandal.

00:25:53.720 So I believe that Maxwell in this case is telling the truth about Donald Trump because it is consistent with my own research.

00:26:03.060 Meanwhile, President Trump has mobilized the National Guard across 19 states.

00:26:07.400 The Trump administration will be sending 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states to stabilize the country, fight crime in decaying cities, and also assist with immigration enforcement.

00:26:23.720 There will be, I think, a deployment in the city of Chicago relatively soon.

00:26:31.420 These National Guard troops will be deployed from August until mid-December to clean up the streets.

00:26:37.200 An official with the National Guard said the following to reporters.

00:26:41.680 The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNN swabbing, and photographing of personnel in ICE custody.

00:26:53.100 After President Trump's stunning success in cleaning up Washington, D.C., he will be implementing law and order in other cities.

00:27:01.480 This is what he said he would do during the campaign, and now he's doing it.

00:27:05.140 The president has said that Chicago, New York City would be the next logical targets after D.C.

00:27:11.640 Now, there are some legal anomalies.

00:27:15.180 The president has the authority to nationalize the police department, the Metropolitan Police Department in D.C.,

00:27:21.140 where he does not have the legal authority to nationalize the police departments in New York

00:27:26.680 City or in the city of Chicago, but he does have the authority to mobilize the National Guard any

00:27:33.100 place that he determines is a national emergency. The city went through, the city of D.C. went

00:27:41.760 through a week without murder, something that is unprecedented during a D.C. summer. Carjackings

00:27:47.120 are down 83%, robberies are down nearly 50%, and car theft is down 21%. Overall violent crime in

00:27:56.300 the District of Columbia is actually down 22%. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon

00:28:03.080 Johnson are freaking out about the idea of President Trump sending the National Guard

00:28:07.820 to Chicago. They claim crime is going down, but frankly, that's a lie. The facts show that 90%

00:28:14.840 of Chicago's violent offenders are free, walking the streets, not having to worry about cash bail

00:28:20.040 in most instances. Once a violent criminal is released without cash bail, of course there is

00:28:25.080 very little possibility that they will show up again for trial. There are 1,600 vacancies in the

00:28:31.680 police force as nobody wants the thankless task in Chicago where they will be under attack and

00:28:37.800 scrutiny by Democrat politicians. Over 225,000 high-priority 9-11 calls in the Windy City went

00:28:46.160 unanswered in 2023 due to a lack of Chicago police resources. Over 50,000 illegal immigrants

00:28:54.760 have arrived in Chicago over the past three years as well, putting additional strain on the already

00:29:00.980 fraying system. This is, by anyone's definition, a state of emergency, and most Democrat-run cities

00:29:07.720 like Baltimore and Philadelphia are no better. The reason why the Guard is needed in their cities is

00:29:14.280 because their defund the police mindset has allowed criminals to seize power. This will no longer be

00:29:21.060 allowed in Trump's America. I predict to you that he will mobilize the National Guard to bring order

00:29:29.340 in Chicago. Mayor Brandon Johnson, who in a bizarre rant somehow blamed former President Richard Nixon

00:29:37.360 for the current rate of crime in the city of Chicago.

00:29:42.000 That one's a mystery to me.

00:29:43.360 Richard Nixon, the president who desegregated the public schools,

00:29:49.980 the Richard Nixon who tripled the amount of federal funding

00:29:53.600 for civil rights law enforcement,

00:29:56.440 the Richard Nixon who gave us affirmative action,

00:29:59.740 a policy that many of my conservative friends object to,

00:30:03.040 the Richard Nixon who was instrumental in the passage of the 1958 Civil Rights Act over the

00:30:10.660 opposition of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Senate Majority Leader, and working hand in glove with

00:30:16.520 Dr. Martin Luther King. So I'm not really sure what Brandon Johnson means when he says it's all

00:30:22.300 Richard Nixon's fault. Richard Nixon has been dead for almost 40 years, I think a little bit longer.

00:30:26.940 But Johnson has made it very clear yesterday that he is counting on the people of Chicago to rise up and resist the National Guard.

00:30:37.960 That, of course, would be a crime.

00:30:40.760 Brandon Johnson is in and out of the hospital with stress-related panic attacks, according to public reports.

00:30:48.260 He's not up to the job of being mayor, and he has no ability to keep order.

00:30:53.080 mayor richard j daly not richie daly but mayor richard dick daly once known for running a tight

00:31:03.140 ship chicago was once known as the city that works if he saw what was happening to his beloved

00:31:09.120 chicago today he would be rolling in his grave donald trump means business when he said that

00:31:15.680 he would restore law and order he meant it he's done it in the district of columbia he will do it

00:31:21.920 in Chicago over the objections of J.B. Pritzker. Governor Pritzker, who, frankly, I said yesterday,

00:31:29.620 guy's so fat, he has his own zip code. I mean, when he graduated from high school, his picture

00:31:34.500 was on page 41, 42, and 43 of his yearbook. Last time he came to New York City, they wanted to make

00:31:40.880 him his own borough. Enough of the fat jokes. The truth is he's running for president, but he

00:31:46.460 continues to be mired in single digits. And in a recent poll, his percentage of vote among

00:31:52.540 African-Americans was actually zero. I don't really understand the concept of running for

00:31:59.840 president when you failed as governor. This is the same conundrum that Gavin Newsom has.

00:32:06.740 He wants to run for president, I guess, on the slogan that he'll do for America what he did for

00:32:13.040 California. In his case, that would mean out-of-control taxes, zoring crimes, epic homelessness,

00:32:20.700 and environmental disaster, including the fact that they couldn't manage the recent fires in

00:32:26.920 Los Angeles because they had turned off the water to spare the lives of an increasingly

00:32:32.620 environmentally endangered fish. Yes, that is the woke policy of Gavin Newsom, the man who has

00:32:41.080 great hair, but other than that, has no qualification whatsoever

00:32:45.160 to be president and no issue to run on.

00:32:48.840 If you're just tuning in, I'm Roger Stone, and this is The Stone Zone on the Red Apple

00:32:52.880 Audio Networks. Don't go away, because we'll be right back with more

00:32:56.800 of today's politics.

00:33:04.600 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:11.080 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:26.480 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:30.200 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:33:33.960 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:33:36.320 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:33:39.260 No, they treated him very unfairly.

00:33:42.540 Now, get him a zone.

00:33:44.380 It's the Stone Zone.

00:33:46.380 Here's Roger Stone.

00:33:49.740 Welcome back to the Stone Zone.

00:33:52.040 This is Roger Stone, listening to the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:33:56.480 A new Kaplan and Associates rolling average overnight poll

00:34:03.000 shows slight differences in the upcoming race for mayor of New York City.

00:34:10.060 In the new head-to-head, Democrat Zoran Mamdami, who I refer to as the Ayatollah,

00:34:18.020 has moved to 39% of the vote.

00:34:20.720 Former Governor Andrew Cuomo dropped from 22% to 20% of the vote.

00:34:26.100 Republican Curtis Sliwa up from 16 to 19 percent of the vote, and Eric Adams dropped from 14

00:34:36.140 previously to 11, no doubt in the wake of bad news regarding the indictment of his former

00:34:42.900 chief of staff. This race is very tight. That's about an 11 percent undecided, but if you look

00:34:52.880 into the internals, you will see the problem, which is that for the first time now, Eric Adams'

00:34:58.920 net unfavorable rating among voters has broken 70%. It's now at 71%. This is why he has no option

00:35:08.680 for further ballot growth. Andrew Cuomo's unfavorable remains consistent at 58%, net

00:35:17.860 unfavorable. Mamdami's unfavorable rating remains at 41, exactly where it was in the last Kaplan

00:35:28.100 overnight. And frankly, his competitors are going to have to drive that number much higher to have

00:35:34.220 any chance of stopping him. While Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, held steady with an

00:35:41.560 unfavorable rating of 43, which I think comes from a 20 plus year on radio talking about

00:35:48.220 controversial subjects. So those who say that one of these candidates should drop out, I think are

00:35:55.220 dreaming. I think none of them will drop out. But it is conceivable at this current trajectory that

00:36:01.940 even if all of them did drop out, it is important to recognize that not all of their votes would

00:36:09.720 redistribute to an anti-Mamdami candidate. In fact, based on the Kaplan overnight poll,

00:36:16.760 if former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo withdrew from the race, almost one quarter of his votes

00:36:26.660 go to the Democrat Mamdami. That's because many of his votes are coming from Democrats.

00:36:33.700 So I think this race is essentially over, barring some new cataclysmic event.

00:36:42.820 I don't see anyone dropping out of the race.

00:36:46.200 And I think that being the Democrat nominee is an enormous leg up in an overwhelmingly Democrat city.

00:36:55.560 I also see, as I said earlier, that Mamdami is soft peddling the impact of his agenda.

00:37:02.220 He doesn't want to be seen as anti-police, but he's also not shy about the fact that he wants to do away with misdemeanor crime, which to me is shocking, just to be clear, if he was to actually implement those policies. 0.60

00:37:23.120 Third-degree assault, forcible touching, driving while intoxicated, third-degree drug possession, menacing, sexual misconduct, third-degree identity theft, second-degree sexual abuse, and petite larceny would no longer be chargeable crimes.

00:37:39.080 His radical beliefs on the campaign are being soft-pedaled, but it's only a ruse.

00:37:44.080 until the voters from New York wake up to the fact that these policies will set New York City

00:37:50.560 on fire, that there will be a max exodus of taxpayers, businesses both large and small will

00:37:58.720 flee the city, and crime will be rampant. The only good news is not for the people who live 1.00

00:38:05.540 in New York City, unfortunately, but for the people across the country who will be able to see

00:38:10.040 firsthand what happens when you choose Marxist policies.

00:38:15.720 That is a small, small concession for the people of New York City

00:38:21.400 who will have to suffer under these horrific ideas.
