The StoneZONE with Roger Stone

00:00:00.680 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:18.260 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:22.140 People love him and respect him, Roger Stone.

00:00:24.840 Now, get him a zone. It's The Stone Zone.

00:00:28.340 Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:31.480 Welcome to The Stone Zone.

00:00:34.580 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.

00:00:47.360 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.

00:01:03.240 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.

00:01:17.780 This past week, we saw this raid.

00:01:21.640 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.

00:01:29.920 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.

00:01:52.920 Now, I actually know Steph Halper back from the Reagan-Bush days, was in a floating poker game with him.

00:02:00.280 He was a good poker player, but he was an even more dangerous FBI and CIA informant.

00:02:07.780 He was paid a half million dollars to set up Donald Trump in the entire phony Russian collusion hoax.

00:02:15.000 Four days after President Trump first ordered the declassification of the crossfire hurricane documents on September 21, 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.

00:02:38.260 Exposure of our intelligence sources and methods and our ongoing relationships with some of our international allies and partners.

00:02:48.020 Bolton advised President Trump of these risks and coordinated the cover-up.

00:02:53.040 Then, after the Mar-a-Lago raid, where it is widely believed that President Trump had, within his legal rights, obtained copies and held on to copies of the evidence that would prove that the Russian collusion claims were a fraud,

00:03:10.120 Bolton repeatedly talked about the sensitive sources that were in the documents that President Trump had.

00:03:15.640 The documents, now released to the public, thanks to Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, were the crossfire hurricane documents.

00:03:25.640 The sensitive source they were covering up for was Stefan Halper, the CIA and FBI operator who ran by the codename Mitch.

00:03:33.700 Halper was actually the architect of the Hillary plan, the crossfire hurricane's Omri informant, who falsely claims to have witnessed the whole Trump-Russia collusion.

00:03:45.640 We know from a document declassified by Tulsi Gabbard that Hillary, rotten Clinton herself, approved the plan specifically to distract attention from her use of an illegal email server and also to sow seeds of doubt about the legitimacy of Trump's presidency.

00:04:06.480 So, in other words, Bolton was covering up for Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Comey, and the entire cabal, because if those documents had been released,

00:04:17.020 they would have showed that the entire Trump-Russian collusion narrative was all based on paid-for, dirty operative, Steph Halper's testimonies, and their entitled House of Cards would have collapsed.

00:04:28.480 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 collusion hoax,

00:04:42.740 he was actually threatened with criminal prosecution if he tried to investigate further.

00:04:46.620 President Trump tried to declassify and release the records, but he got pushback from Rod Rosenstein, the acting attorney general,

00:04:55.880 Gina Haspel, the CIA director, Christopher Wray, the FBI director,

00:05:01.380 John Bolton, then his national security advisor, and the British government.

00:05:05.620 They all claimed that sources' lives and allied operations would be endangered.

00:05:11.320 It was bunk.

00:05:12.740 In fact, the only ones endangered were the deep state.

00:05:16.240 When Trump tried to release these documents once again in 2021, his home in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, was raided.

00:05:24.020 Enough of your crocodile tears.

00:05:26.360 It is now absolutely clear, based on the declassification of documents by Tulsi Gabbard,

00:05:32.500 that there was a seditious conspiracy to engage in treason and to undo the legitimate results of the 2016 election.

00:05:41.880 But because this seditious conspiracy, which began in 2016, continued into 2017,

00:05:50.280 continued into the 2020 election, where Tulsi Gabbard has said she is examining evidence regarding the integrity of the computerized voting machines,

00:06:01.940 this is a case that is ripe for prosecution.

00:06:06.880 But it means that trials of those ultimately charged would not necessarily happen in the District of Columbia,

00:06:14.840 where, frankly, no Trump supporter, Republican, conservative, or free thinker can get a free trial,

00:06:22.280 and where no Democrat or veteran of the Biden or Obama administrations will ever be convicted.

00:06:30.180 Stay tuned as we will follow this story as it develops.

00:06:34.220 Meanwhile, the New York City mayoral frontrunner, Zoran the Ayatollah Mamdani,

00:06:39.580 is proposing to end all misdemeanor crimes in the city of New York,

00:06:43.540 a move that could empower criminals on a scale never before seen in any Democrat-running, decaying hellscape.

00:06:52.120 Mamdani is a leading organizer of the Democratic Socialists of America,

00:06:56.740 and the language in their platform makes it clear that one of their main goals is to uproot the rule of law.

00:07:02.920 In other words, they want to defend and shut down the New York City Police Department.

00:07:26.400 Mamdani himself says that, quote,

00:07:29.420 violence is a social construct, close quote.

00:07:32.760 Now, what he means is violence is a crime, but he doesn't see it that way.

00:07:38.820 Misdemeanor offenses that Mamdani wants to repeal for the books would include

00:07:42.380 third-degree assault, forcible touching, driving while intoxicated, third-degree drug possession,

00:07:49.560 menacing, sexual misconduct, third-degree identity theft, second-degree sexual abuse, and petite larceny.

00:07:57.600 Mamdani is playing down these radical beliefs on the campaign trail, but that's only a ruse.

00:08:03.160 Mamdani knows he has to say whatever it takes to get into office,

00:08:06.580 where he will then have carte blanche to turn New York City's political structure upside down,

00:08:11.780 which has been his life's goal as an avowed Marxist.

00:08:15.600 May God have mercy on the people of New York City,

00:08:18.220 and may the city serve as an example to the rest of the country

00:08:21.540 of what is to come if the Democrat Party is not crushed in the midterms and beyond.

00:08:29.160 President Trump, in the meantime, has signed an executive order that will bring an end

00:08:35.360 to the insane policies of cashless bail for criminals in Washington, D.C.

00:08:40.540 It will also start the process of ending cashless bail nationwide,

00:08:44.600 including in New York City and the city of Chicago,

00:08:47.780 where crime, despite the fact that they cooked the statistics, is actually skyrocketing.

00:08:53.560 Under the guise of criminal justice reform,

00:08:56.540 states and localities have been ending mandatory cash bail for violent criminals.

00:09:02.700 As a result, criminals have been let out of jail,

00:09:05.040 but are free to skip their trial dates before going on to commit more crimes

00:09:09.080 against innocent, unsuspecting Americans.

00:09:12.780 Cashless bail has been pushed under the guise of social justice

00:09:16.360 and is another one of the Black Lives Matter schemes that effectively defunds the police.

00:09:22.700 The White House said in a statement,

00:09:24.960 Cashless bail policies allow dangerous individuals to immediately return to the streets

00:09:30.620 and further endanger law-abiding, hard-working Americans

00:09:34.400 because they know our laws will not be enforced.

00:09:37.980 This executive order fulfills President Trump's campaign

00:09:40.600 to crack down on the left-wing jurisdictions that refuse to prosecute dangerous criminals

00:09:46.200 and to set violent felonies loose on cashless bail.

00:09:50.560 The executive order is expected to be followed by legislation introduced by my friend,

00:09:55.220 Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York,

00:09:57.380 that would eliminate cashless bail nationwide.

00:10:02.140 Meanwhile, we see the disastrous rebrand of Cracker Barrel.

00:10:06.920 It has become viral news on social media

00:10:09.820 as the masses express disdain towards corporate changes

00:10:13.500 that have stripped the cluttered hokey charm from the highway-adjacent restaurant chain

00:10:20.160 and replaced it with a soulless post-modern Drek logo,

00:10:25.440 throwing out 47 years of history,

00:10:27.680 flushing it down the toilet in one fell swoop.

00:10:31.560 Cracker Barrel has embarked on a $700 million rebranding effort

00:10:36.140 to create a lighter, brighter, and more evolved experience.

00:10:40.440 They seek to be relevant in the cultural conversation of the day,

00:10:44.900 taking the emphasis off of providing crispy fried chicken

00:10:48.040 and savory country gravy and excellent meatloaf to their patriots,

00:10:52.420 and instead putting that effort behind sponsoring LGBT pride parades

00:10:57.500 and other organizations promoting a woke agenda.

00:11:01.420 There may be more to it than all of this.

00:11:04.120 The silly logo is fun to pick at,

00:11:06.800 but there's a darker side to it in my opinion.

00:11:08.920 Here's a few key facts to think about.

00:11:11.640 Cracker Barrel averages a 1.6% profit,

00:11:15.160 which is substantially less than the industry standard for casual dining,

00:11:19.700 which achieves a 3-5% profit margin.

00:11:23.780 Cracker Barrel owns three-acre plots of land

00:11:26.440 on 468 interstate exits all over the country.

00:11:31.400 Making obviously bad choices to alienate the customer base

00:11:34.860 will drive down the stock price for Cracker Barrel

00:11:37.640 and make it affordable for a corporation to buy back.

00:11:41.280 65% of the Cracker Barrel corporation

00:11:43.680 is currently owned by private equity firms.

00:11:46.960 Is this the time that Blackstone or Blackrock

00:11:49.780 steps in and snaps up all of that real estate?

00:11:52.860 Meanwhile, Steak and Shake has undergone a resurgence

00:11:55.480 doing just the opposite.

00:11:57.300 They've started to use beef tallow to cut their fries

00:12:00.300 like McDonald's used to do in their heyday.

00:12:04.580 Frankly, McDonald's French fries today tastes like plastic.

00:12:07.700 They have no flavor.

00:12:09.520 RFK has been a champion of returning to using beef tallow to cook their fries.

00:12:15.380 The folks at Steak and Shake have also begun phasing out

00:12:17.860 all seed oils from their foods.

00:12:20.020 They've started to accept Bitcoin as payment for their menu.

00:12:23.040 It's a forward-thinking move that will pay dividends,

00:12:26.360 I think, well into the future.

00:12:29.120 Their stock price and profits have surged

00:12:31.240 as a result of these healthy changes.

00:12:34.120 Steak and Shake have definitely understood

00:12:35.600 that embracing MAGA values,

00:12:37.960 that the public will respond positively,

00:12:39.960 putting them on the map for millions of consumers

00:12:42.460 who may have otherwise ignored the chain.

00:12:45.060 Let this be a lesson to everyone on Wall Street.

00:12:49.080 Go woke, go broke.

00:12:51.160 You're listening to The Roger Stone Show

00:12:52.780 right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:12:56.220 Meanwhile, in the news,

00:12:57.840 Ingrid Lewis-Martin, former senior advisor

00:13:00.340 and chief of staff to New York City Mayor Eric Adams,

00:13:03.500 has been charged with running a bribery empire

00:13:06.160 throughout the city while serving under Mayor Adams.

00:13:09.740 Lewis-Martin is being accused of taking $75,000 in cash

00:13:14.720 luxury perks, food and drink,

00:13:17.060 and even getting an active role next to Forrest Whitaker.

00:13:21.200 Lewis-Martin and her co-conspirators

00:13:23.360 allegedly exploited the city's $7 billion in contracts

00:13:26.600 related to the migrant crisis,

00:13:28.800 manipulated street redesign projects,

00:13:31.580 secured home renovations,

00:13:33.200 and meddled in building permits,

00:13:35.180 collecting bribe money every step of the way

00:13:37.880 to hook up their cronies. 1.00

00:13:39.980 This comes one day after Winnie Greco,

00:13:42.820 another Adams advisor,

00:13:45.220 no relationship to former New York police officer,

00:13:47.880 Sal Greco,

00:13:49.120 handed a potato chip bag full of money to a reporter

00:13:52.200 in an apparent attempt to buy them off of this story.

00:13:56.320 It's instances like this to make it clear

00:13:58.380 why Zoray Mamdami is the overwhelming favorite

00:14:00.880 to win the New York City Mayor's race.

00:14:02.620 It's not because the people in New York City

00:14:04.160 are Marxists or socialists or that they're jihadists.

00:14:07.420 It's that people are sick of the corrupt machine politicians

00:14:10.080 like Adams and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

00:14:14.140 Mamdami, without being too specific,

00:14:16.060 is offering them hope and change.

00:14:18.300 And unfortunately, many New Yorkers are not focusing on

00:14:20.980 the implications of the actual policies

00:14:23.640 that Mamdami proposes.

00:14:25.860 We'll be talking more about this race as we go along,

00:14:28.660 but one thing is clear.

00:14:30.440 I go on the record as saying this right now.

00:14:32.520 No matter what happens,

00:14:34.180 Mayor Eric Adams will run fourth in this contest.

00:14:37.400 I'm Roger Stone.

00:14:38.320 You're listening to The Stone Zone,

00:14:39.540 and we'll be right back.

00:14:41.100 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:48.160 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine.

00:14:51.660 Goya coconut milk.

00:14:52.800 How does it taste so good?

00:14:54.160 It's all in that real coconut flavor

00:14:55.980 and that rich, creamy texture.

00:14:58.240 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:15:00.480 None.

00:15:01.060 Just smooth, coconut-y goodness.

00:15:03.540 What can I make with it?

00:15:16.300 If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:15:18.300 It's week two of Canadian Tire's early Black Friday sale.

00:15:37.520 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:15:41.240 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:15:45.020 And I'll say this in front of Roger.

00:15:46.480 He's no baby.

00:15:47.380 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:15:50.980 Now they treated him very unfairly.

00:15:53.600 Now, give him a zone.

00:15:55.440 It's The Stone Zone.

00:15:56.960 Here's Roger Stone.

00:15:59.060 Welcome back to The Stone Zone where we talk politics five days a week.

00:16:06.260 We bring you our take on what's going on.

00:16:09.160 I am, of course, a veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns.

00:16:13.460 I like to say I spent 50 years in the corroded rectum of the two-party system, and I've seen it all.

00:16:19.760 Here we try to bring you The Stone Cold Truth.

00:16:22.880 Does your child play the game Roblox?

00:16:25.920 The online interactive game seems innocent and innocuous, but now has evidently become a haven for child rapists with the game's programmers apparently content to look the other way as innocent children are being preyed upon.

00:16:39.300 The state of Louisiana is suing Roblox for unfair trade practices, citing their neglect in protecting children on the platform.

00:16:48.400 Louisiana's Attorney General, Liz Murrell, said due to Roblox' lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana.

00:16:58.940 Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety.

00:17:09.340 Every parent should be aware of the clear and present danger poised to their children by Roblox so they can prevent the unthinkable from ever happening in their own home.

00:17:18.440 Now, nightmarish stories about child grooming on Roblox have emerged, including a derelict mother contacting her birth child in foster care on the Roblox platform and encouraging her daughter to murder her foster parents and her infant sister.

00:17:34.460 You can't make this stuff up.

00:17:35.820 A 13-year-old girl was groomed by a predator on the platform receiving explicit images from the pervert and then was subjected to a rape attempt when they met in person.

00:17:47.260 Another child was sent pornography by a predator on the platform and later actually attempted suicide.

00:17:53.180 There are hundreds, if not thousands, of more of these types of instances occurring on Roblox.

00:17:59.820 All the more reason to keep the cell phones and computer devices out of the hands of your children and grandchildren or to monitor their use extensively.

00:18:08.840 These are dangerous instruments and they cannot be abused.

00:18:13.280 You're tuned in to The Stone Zone with me, Roger Stone.

00:18:16.180 We'll be right back with more of today's hot political news.

00:18:19.920 So please, don't go away.

00:18:21.900 We're here five days a week.

00:18:23.340 We bring you our take on the political doings of the day.

00:18:27.600 We'll give you an analysis that no one else on radio will tell you.

00:18:31.460 We'll be right back.

00:18:32.740 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:18:49.040 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:18:52.740 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:18:56.360 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:18:58.900 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:19:02.740 And now they treated him very unfairly.

00:19:04.980 Now, get him a zone.

00:19:06.920 It's The Stone Zone.

00:19:08.940 Here's Roger Stone.

00:19:13.080 Welcome back to The Stone Zone.

00:19:15.180 Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has given sworn testimony stating that she never saw President Trump engage in any wrongdoing during her many years as Epstein's co-conspirator, Confident and Pimp.

00:19:28.700 This is not news to me.

00:19:30.280 Today, I explored and researched the Epstein case very extensively for my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women.

00:19:38.660 The longest chapter in the book, Chapter 7, is entitled Orgy Island.

00:19:43.340 What people don't know is that Epstein's butler, Alberto Rodriguez, who was then dying of cancer, sold Epstein's telephone book to a New York journalist.

00:19:55.600 But that doesn't mean that everyone in his book is guilty of any illegal or inappropriate behavior.

00:20:02.440 But the butler did circle the names of those he claimed were involved in child sex trafficking or were material witnesses to child sex trafficking.

00:20:14.880 Maxwell stated that she felt Trump and Epstein were friendly, like people in social settings, but she did not think they were close friends.

00:20:22.600 She also did not ever recall Trump being at Epstein's house in New York.

00:20:27.800 That is consistent with my research and my reporting.

00:20:30.800 She also stated that she never saw the president in any time of massage setting.

00:20:35.580 And she never witnessed the president in any inappropriate meeting in any way.

00:20:40.280 Now, we know that Donald Trump never visited Epstein's island.

00:20:43.180 We know that Donald Trump never visited Epstein's ranch in New Mexico.

00:20:47.960 We know that Donald Trump never visited Epstein's Paris apartment.

00:20:53.980 We know that he was at Epstein's home in Palm Beach on one occasion, according to the sworn testimony of Virginia Roberts Giuffre,

00:21:04.100 one of Epstein's victims who refused a large cash settlement in order to continue her lawsuit against Epstein.

00:21:12.600 We're told only months ago that she committed suicide, having interviewed her for six hours and two, three hour sessions and read all of her sworn testimony.

00:21:23.560 Frankly, I doubt that.

00:21:26.000 But according to her sworn testimony, the one and only time she saw Donald Trump at Epstein's home was for a fundraiser for a social nonprofit,

00:21:37.600 a charitable nonprofit in Palm Beach, and that Trump acted as a perfect gentleman.

00:21:43.920 Now, Maxwell also says in a separate statement that former President Bill Clinton never visited the island.

00:21:51.320 Unfortunately, the FAA Passenger Manifest, which I use extensively in my book, The Clinton's War on Women,

00:22:00.580 shows that Bill Clinton visited the island at least four times, but was on Epstein's airplane at least 26 times.

00:22:09.080 We also know from the sworn testimony of Virginia Roberts Giuffre that she identified Bill Clinton as being on the island,

00:22:17.900 and therefore, quote-unquote, parties, on at least three occasions.

00:22:24.160 So the testimony of Maxwell does corroborate victims' attorneys and other people close to the situation,

00:22:31.040 who, like me, have said throughout the years that there is no evidence whatsoever of inappropriate behavior by President Donald Trump.

00:22:38.760 It also further proves that Donald Trump is innocent, had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile network.

00:22:44.780 In fact, we know definitively that Trump cut Epstein off in 2005.

00:22:51.420 That is, prior to Epstein ever being exposed and charged as a sex criminal in the state of Florida.

00:23:00.900 Now, in that instance, after various reports,

00:23:05.180 Chief Michael Ryder of the Palm Beach Police Department conducted a six-month undercover investigation of Jeffrey Epstein

00:23:12.880 and handed the state's attorney in Palm Beach a case involving 33 underage children, women, girls at that point,

00:23:24.160 and an ancillary case of statutory rape involving at least 21 underage girls.

00:23:31.300 The police chief was shocked when the state's attorney turned around after his own investigation

00:23:38.180 and charged Jeffrey Epstein with one count of solicitation.

00:23:43.620 Only after complaints from the police chief did they bump that up to one count of solicitation of a minor.

00:23:51.540 Still a serious crime, but not nearly as serious as the crime of child sex trafficking.

00:23:57.940 Asked after he had served 15 months of an 18-month sentence,

00:24:03.160 which he was allowed to serve in the air-conditioned Palm Beach County Jail,

00:24:08.660 as opposed to a Florida state penitentiary like every other convicted sex criminal in the Sunshine State,

00:24:16.740 Epstein said his crime was no different than, quote, stealing a bagel.

00:24:21.500 The Democrats and the deep state continue to perpetuating the Epstein hoax on Trump,

00:24:27.780 trying to get the focus also of real child sex predators, who I believe are still at large.

00:24:35.420 It's time, once again, to release all the grand jury testimony and relevant information

00:24:40.080 held by the government with information about Epstein's operation that are currently being withheld from the public.

00:24:46.260 But unfortunately, judges in New York, in Florida, all Democrats, I might add,

00:24:52.400 all appointees of either Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Joe Biden,

00:24:56.940 have refused to release any of that grand jury testimony,

00:25:00.200 despite the fact that the target of the grand jury testimony, Jeffrey Epstein, is deceased.

00:25:07.580 Lawyers tell me that one is deceased, they no longer have rights.

00:25:11.320 There is no reason not to release this material, would clear the air.

00:25:15.660 I pointed out that it was the Trump administration in 2019 that charged Jeffrey Epstein

00:25:22.440 with one count of child sex trafficking and an additional count of conspiracy to engage in child sex trafficking.

00:25:31.660 We need a full level of transparency.

00:25:33.880 I think that's what's necessary to make America great again

00:25:36.800 and to make treason and child sex trafficking punishable again.

00:25:42.500 Once again, I agree with those who are calling for full disclosure.

00:25:47.660 It's comical to see people like Senator Richard Durbin, Dick Durbin of Illinois,

00:25:52.880 jumping up and down, screaming about full disclosure when he sponsored legislation

00:25:57.100 to block the information from the American public previous to the recent scandal.

00:26:03.860 So I believe that Maxwell, in this case, is telling the truth about Donald Trump

00:26:09.160 because it is consistent with my own research.

00:26:13.220 Meanwhile, President Trump has mobilized the National Guard across 19 states.

00:26:17.960 The Trump administration will be sending 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states

00:26:23.520 to stabilize the country, fight crime in decaying cities,

00:26:29.480 and also assist with immigration enforcement.

00:26:33.740 There will be, I think, a deployment in the city of Chicago relatively soon.

00:26:41.560 These National Guard troops will be deployed from August until mid-December to clean up the streets.

00:26:47.900 An official with the National Guard said the following to reporters.

00:26:50.980 The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting,

00:26:57.240 DNN swabbing, and photographing of personnel in ICE custody.

00:27:03.260 After President Trump's stunning success in cleaning up Washington, D.C.,

00:27:08.680 he will be implementing law and order in other cities.

00:27:11.640 This is what he said he would do during the campaign, and now he's doing it.

00:27:15.300 The president has said that Chicago and New York City would be the next logical targets after D.C.

00:27:21.820 Now, there are some legal anomalies.

00:27:25.340 The president has the authority to nationalize the police department,

00:27:29.440 the Metropolitan Police Department in D.C.,

00:27:31.920 where he does not have the legal authority to nationalize the police departments in New York City

00:27:37.140 or in the city of Chicago,

00:27:39.040 but he does have the authority to mobilize the National Guard any place that he determines is a national emergency.

00:27:49.060 The city went through, the city of D.C. went through a week without murder,

00:27:53.460 something that is unprecedented during a D.C. summer.

00:27:56.700 Carjackings are down 83 percent, robberies are down nearly 50 percent,

00:28:01.240 and car theft is down 21 percent.

00:28:03.880 Overall, violent crime in the District of Columbia is actually down 22 percent.

00:28:09.980 Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson are freaking out

00:28:14.740 about the idea of President Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago.

00:28:19.480 They claim crime is going down, but frankly, that's a lie.

00:28:23.360 The facts show that 90 percent of Chicago's violent offenders are free,

00:28:27.860 walking the streets, not having to worry about cash bail in most instances.

00:28:31.140 Once a violent criminal is released without cash bail,

00:28:34.740 of course, there is very little possibility that they will show up again for trial.

00:28:39.460 There are 1,600 vacancies, and the police force says nobody wants the thankless task in Chicago

00:28:45.700 where they will be under attack and scrutiny by Democrat politicians.

00:28:50.580 Over 225,000 high-priority 9-11 calls in the Windy City went unanswered in 2023

00:28:58.140 due to a lack of Chicago police resources.

00:29:02.720 Over 50,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in Chicago over the past three years as well,

00:29:08.660 putting additional strain on the already fraying system.

00:29:13.460 This is, by anyone's definition, a state of emergency,

00:29:16.240 and most Democrat-run cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia are no better.

00:29:20.820 The reason why the Guard is needed in their cities is because their defund-the-police mindset

00:29:27.280 has allowed criminals to seize power.

00:29:30.200 This will no longer be allowed in Trump's America.

00:29:33.460 I predict to you that he will mobilize the National Guard to bring order in Chicago.

00:29:40.740 Mayor Brandon Johnson, who in a bizarre rant,

00:29:44.340 somehow blamed former President Richard Nixon for the current rate of crime in the city of Chicago,

00:29:52.160 that one's a mystery to me.

00:29:53.600 Richard Nixon, the president who desegregated the public schools,

00:30:00.140 the Richard Nixon who tripled the amount of federal funding for civil rights law enforcement,

00:30:06.580 the Richard Nixon who gave us affirmative action,

00:30:09.460 a policy that many of my conservative friends object to,

00:30:13.200 the Richard Nixon who was instrumental in the passage of the 1958 Civil Rights Act

00:30:19.800 over the opposition of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Senate Majority Leader,

00:30:24.760 and working hand-in-glove with the Dr. Martin Luther King.

00:30:28.840 So I'm not really sure what Brandon Johnson means when he says it's all Richard Nixon's fault.

00:30:33.840 Richard Nixon's been dead for almost 40 years, I think a little bit longer.

00:30:37.100 But Johnson has made it very clear yesterday that he is counting on the people of Chicago

00:30:43.320 to rise up and resist the National Guard.

00:30:48.120 That, of course, would be a crime.

00:30:50.900 Brandon Johnson is in and out of the hospital with stress-related panic attacks,

00:30:56.540 according to public reports.

00:30:58.420 He's not up to the job of being mayor, and he has no ability to keep order.

00:31:03.240 However, Mayor Richard J. Daley, not Richie Daley, but Mayor Richard Dick Daley,

00:31:10.540 once known for running a tight ship, Chicago was once known as the city that works.

00:31:17.400 If he saw what was happening to his beloved Chicago today, he would be rolling in his grave.

00:31:23.600 Donald Trump means business.

00:31:25.140 When he said that he would restore law and order, he meant it.

00:31:28.220 He's done it in the District of Columbia.

00:31:30.700 He will do it in Chicago, over the objections of J.B. Pritzker.

00:31:36.520 Governor Pritzker, who, frankly, I said yesterday, a guy's so fat, he has his own zip code.

00:31:42.620 I mean, when he graduated from high school, his picture was on page 41, 42, and 43 of his yearbook.

00:31:48.720 Last time he came to New York City, they wanted to make him his own borough.

00:31:52.640 Enough of the fat jokes.

00:31:53.900 The truth is, he's running for president, but he continues to be mired in single digits.

00:31:59.660 And in a recent poll, his percentage of vote among African Americans was actually zero.

00:32:06.700 I don't really understand the concept of running for president when you failed as governor.

00:32:12.480 This is the same conundrum that Gavin Newsom has.

00:32:16.900 He wants to run for president, I guess, on the slogan that he'll do for America what he did for California.

00:32:24.300 In his case, that would mean out-of-control taxes, zoring crimes, epic homelessness, and environmental disaster,

00:32:33.160 including the fact that they couldn't manage the recent fires in Los Angeles

00:32:37.680 because they had turned off the water to spare the lives of an increasingly environmentally endangered fish.

00:32:45.400 Yes, that is the policy of Gavin Newsom, the man who has great hair,

00:32:51.960 but other than that, has no qualification whatsoever to be president and no issue to run on.

00:32:59.000 If you're just tuning in, I'm Roger Stone, and this is The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:33:04.040 Don't go away, because we'll be right back with more of today's politics.

00:33:08.160 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:21.200 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:25.960 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:40.360 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.

00:33:44.100 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.

00:33:46.480 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.

00:33:50.160 Now, they treated him very unfairly.

00:33:52.340 Now, get him a zone.

00:33:54.540 It's The Stone Zone.

00:33:56.520 Here's Roger Stone.

00:33:59.880 Welcome back to The Stone Zone.

00:34:02.200 This is Roger Stone, listening to the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:34:06.880 A new Kaplan and Associates rolling average overnight poll

00:34:13.160 shows slight differences in the upcoming race for mayor of New York City

00:34:19.580 In the new head-to-head, Democrat Zoran Mamdami, who I refer to as the Ayatollah,

00:34:28.180 has moved to 39% of the vote.

00:34:31.200 Former Governor Andrew Cuomo dropped from 22% to 20% of the vote.

00:34:37.220 Republican Curtis Sliwa up from 16% to 19% of the vote.

00:34:43.540 And Eric Adams dropped from 14% previously to 11%, no doubt in the wake of bad news

00:34:51.060 regarding the indictment of his former chief of staff.

00:34:55.000 This race is very tight.

00:34:58.020 That's about an 11% undecided.

00:35:00.860 But if you look into the internals, you will see the problem,

00:35:06.000 which is that for the first time now, Eric Adams' net unfavorable rating among voters has broken 70%.

00:35:13.700 It's now at 71%.

00:35:16.100 This is why he has no option for further ballot growth.

00:35:21.880 Andrew Cuomo's unfavorable remains consistent at 58%, net unfavorable.

00:35:28.900 Zoran Mamdami's unfavorable rating remains at 41%, exactly where it was in the last Kaplan overnight.

00:35:39.860 And frankly, his competitors are going to have to drive that number much higher to have any chance of stopping him.

00:35:46.280 While Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, held steady with an unfavorable rating of 43%,

00:35:53.900 which I think comes from a 20-plus year on radio talking about controversial subjects.

00:36:00.760 So those who say that one of these candidates should drop out, I think are dreaming.

00:36:06.140 I think none of them will drop out.

00:36:08.900 But it is conceivable at this current trajectory that even if all of them did drop out,

00:36:14.860 it is important to recognize that not all of their votes would redistribute to an anti-Mamdami candidate.

00:36:23.240 In fact, based on the Kaplan overnight poll, if former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo withdrew from the race,

00:36:33.660 almost one quarter of his votes go to the Democrat Mamdami.

00:36:39.600 That's because many of his votes are coming from Democrats.

00:36:44.640 So I think this race is essentially over, barring some new cataclysmic event.

00:36:52.980 I don't see anyone dropping out of the race.

00:36:56.360 And I think that being the Democrat nominee is an enormous leg up in an overwhelmingly Democrat city.

00:37:05.220 I also see, as I said earlier, that Mamdami is soft-pedaling the impact of his agenda. 0.68

00:37:12.620 He doesn't want to be seen as anti-police.

00:37:15.440 But he's also not shy about the fact that he wants to do away with misdemeanor crime,

00:37:21.640 which to me is shocking, just to be clear.

00:37:26.240 However, if he was to actually implement those policies,

00:37:33.800 third-degree assault, forcible touching, driving while intoxicated,

00:37:37.380 third-degree drug possession, menacing, sexual misconduct,

00:37:41.220 third-degree identity theft, second-degree sexual abuse,

00:37:44.460 and petite larceny would no longer be chargeable crimes. 0.98

00:37:49.240 His radical beliefs on the campaign are being soft-pedaled, but it's only a ruse.

00:37:54.240 Until the voters from New York wake up to the fact that these policies will set New York City on fire,

00:38:02.040 that there will be a max exodus of taxpayers,

00:38:06.440 businesses both large and small will flee the city,

00:38:10.680 and crime will be rampant.

00:38:13.100 The only good news is not for the people who live in New York City, unfortunately,

00:38:17.360 but for the people across the country who will be able to see firsthand

00:38:21.000 what happens when you choose Marxist policies.

00:38:25.960 That is a small, small concession for the people of New York City

00:38:31.580 who will have to suffer under these horrific ideas.
