The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 09-22-25

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

00:00:04.800 Pennsylvania, has been recognized by the U.S. government as the highest performing

00:00:09.280 health system in the United States for quality? You heard right. St. Luke's number one recognition

00:00:15.120 affirms our status as the top leader among the most respected healthcare providers in the nation,

00:00:20.320 including Houston Methodist and the Mayo Clinic. To state it simply,

00:00:24.480 If you want to receive the best care when you go to a hospital, come to St. Luke's.

00:00:30.740 The Stone Zone.

00:00:32.660 Entertaining and informative.

00:00:34.780 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:37.660 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:40.320 Well, Disney has announced that they're returning Jimmy Kimmel live to the airways effective Tuesday.

00:00:47.060 ending his suspension for making offensive and dishonest comments about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk

00:00:54.320 following his brutal lytical assassination in Utah.

00:00:58.960 A Disney spokesman said, and I quote,

00:01:01.320 Last Wednesday we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country.

00:01:11.260 It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.

00:01:17.960 We spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy.

00:01:21.360 And after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show to the air on Tuesday.

00:01:26.940 So it appears that Disney believes the outrage has subsided and then go back to business as usual with Kimmel spewing his anti-Trump invective virtually every single night.

00:01:36.880 In fact, a study by the New York Post showed that 97% of Kimmel's political commentary was anti-Trump.

00:01:44.100 Therefore, the people will have to demonstrate that Kimmel's antics are intolerable,

00:01:47.940 but do so by creating enough market pressure for Disney to officially cut their ties with this left-wing lowlife.

00:01:54.520 Since the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, the right has gone on offensive,

00:01:58.380 targeting individuals who are openly expressing glee at Charlie Kirk's brutal murder

00:02:03.240 with tactics that the left has used for part of their cancel culture campaigns in recent years.

00:02:08.840 The left, as a result, are actually feeling the pain.

00:02:11.640 Now they are losing their jobs, being deluged with angry messages from impatient patriots

00:02:16.560 and experiencing social isolation as a result of their actions.

00:02:20.080 As the left once emphatically stated, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences,

00:02:25.140 their words, not mine.

00:02:26.460 Now they are being forced to choke on their own words, and, well, they don't like it very much.

00:02:30.480 The left, in response, is pointing out the supposed hypocrisy of the right adopting their tactics.

00:02:35.840 The left loves to snarkily reference the principles of the right,

00:02:39.340 principles they do not believe in themselves,

00:02:41.380 and manipulate those of us on the right on a disingenuous and completely cynical basis. 0.93

00:02:46.580 This can be an effective strategy because conservatives at their core are morally decent people who do not want to be hypocrites.

00:02:52.920 You see, those on the left do not operate under these same standards.

00:02:56.300 They're willing to lie, cheat, steal, deceive, and adopt any unethical tactic necessary to win.

00:03:03.020 This explains their Lucifer-inspired Bible, Rules for Radicals, written by the famous communist radical Saul Alinsky. 0.59

00:03:10.860 Remember his most important rule, which is always accuse your opponents, your enemies, of that which you yourself are actually doing.

00:03:19.360 This gives them a major tactical advantage when going up against those of us on the right in the sphere of politics, where the worst tends to rise to the top.

00:03:27.660 The left has diabolically and clandestinely infiltrated key societal institutions to be able to crush their enemies.

00:03:35.340 The left's iteration of cancel culture was the beginning of the bolsovization of America, the way I look at it.

00:03:41.480 They operated as their own private Stasi, patrolling social media posts and threatening different entities into every strong-will conservative being silenced.

00:03:51.400 They hoped to cancel people like me, making us unable to obtain jobs, get bank accounts, or even put food on our family's tables.

00:03:59.620 These are the tactics they used.

00:04:01.240 I had 980,000 followers on Twitter in 2017 when I was unceremoniously canceled simply because I was a supporter of President Donald Trump and I was a harsh critic of the Mueller witch hunt, which I correctly called a witch hunt at the time.

00:04:18.180 Now, thanks to the disclosures of the director of central intelligence, or I should say director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, we know that I was absolutely right.

00:04:28.540 Because of the unforeseen rise of generational political talent in President Trump, the script has now been completely flipped.

00:04:36.360 The culture has changed, the left overreached, and the public has grown frustrated with the left's warped and alien ideology.

00:04:43.220 The left has, at the same time, written the cancel culture blueprint has proven its effectiveness.

00:04:47.900 So why should the right not use this tool?

00:04:50.080 Turnabout is fair play, after all, according to some.

00:04:53.000 Well, because I believe in the First Amendment and I believe in free speech, I understand that the First Amendment and the rules regarding free speech are particularly designed to protect speech that is repugnant, disgusting, and offensive.

00:05:07.160 Before the Kirk assassination, many on the right would probably have accepted equivocations to not embrace cancel culture tactics.

00:05:14.180 But to do so would have become as bad as they are, and keeping the high moral ground, to me, is of the utmost importance.

00:05:21.780 These are reasonable points, but after last week, the right is no longer shackled by these kinds of objections.

00:05:26.680 The right understands if they lose everything, they hold dear, it will all be ripped away from us and they will no longer be afraid to get our hands dirty.

00:05:33.940 You see, the left could previously gaslight the right and the weak conservative Inc. old guard could keep their people on the reservation,

00:05:40.280 voting Republican intermittently but not entertaining notions that seemed too radical or too extreme.

00:05:45.360 So patriotic groups like the John Birch Society were purged from the fold.

00:05:49.160 Congressman Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan, both friends of mine, were treated like lepers when they ran for president for going against the neocon-globalist orthodoxy that dominated both parties.

00:06:01.620 The great Ronald Reagan was embraced only after he vanquished George H.W. Bush for the Republican nomination in 1980 and then grudgingly took Bush as his vice presidential running mate.

00:06:11.620 It took a personality as big as Donald Trump to shatter this glass ceiling imposed by the left and controlled by the right, and has been completely shattered.

00:06:19.500 And the center of the party demands drastic action against the left, and we will no longer accept excuses for inaction.

00:06:26.300 But that action comes in the place of defunding a group like Antifa, who are actually causing mayhem, violence, and yes, death.

00:06:34.800 Is there no better example than what happened in the country following the death of George Floyd, which was to say the destruction of millions of dollars of both public and private property, the injury of thousands and the death of hundreds, and what happened in the wake of Charlie Kirk's brutal political assassination?

00:06:52.380 Prayer vigils across the country, indeed, across the world.

00:06:56.620 Charlie Kirk's memorial over the weekend drew in excess of 250,000 people across the country

00:07:02.680 who were touched by Charlie Kirk's life and who wanted to celebrate it after it was robbed from us by an assassin's bullet.

00:07:08.600 Kirk's wife, Erica, talked about how she's forgiven the killer,

00:07:11.980 following in the footsteps of Christ to forgive all those who betrayed him and put him to a brutal death on the cross.

00:07:18.460 President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vince appeared,

00:07:21.320 and both of them were extraordinarily effective,

00:07:23.200 talking about Kirk's legacy and how it will live on

00:07:25.860 to be even more enthusiastically followed following his murder.

00:07:29.860 I actually believe that Kirk now goes down in history as a seminal, important figure,

00:07:34.520 much like Barry Goldwater, who founded the modern conservative political movement,

00:07:40.000 Ronald Reagan, who rose from the ashes of Goldwater's defeat to win the White House twice,

00:07:44.920 And yes, Donald J. Trump himself, who essentially was elected by the same political coalition that elected Reagan.

00:07:52.940 Charlie Kirk's memorial was a rousing and touching event.

00:07:55.620 He's becoming a rallying cry for conservatives around the world.

00:07:59.060 People are not living in fear, believing if they speak out, they might get shot like Kirk did.

00:08:03.440 They're ready to sacrifice for their beliefs and get on the front lines in the battle for freedom against the radical left.

00:08:09.260 The time is now not to be timid.

00:08:11.440 It's time to be bold. Millions are willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the radical left.

00:08:16.460 But that does not include wholesale censorship because free speech must be paramount.

00:08:22.020 Meanwhile, in California, would-be President Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Saturday that would stop law enforcement, including federal officers, from being able to wear masks while conducting operations in the state.

00:08:34.140 At a bill signing ceremony, Governor Newsom said,

00:08:36.800 The impact of these policies all across the city, our state, and the nation are terrifying.

00:08:41.540 It's like a dystopian sci-fi movie, he said, on Mark Carr.

00:08:44.740 People in masks, people quite literally disappearing.

00:08:47.360 No due process, no rights into democracy where we have rights.

00:08:51.120 That is a complete bastardization of what is, of course, really happening.

00:08:54.460 The reason why the left wants federal agents, particularly those who work for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, to be unmasked,

00:09:00.200 is so they can identify officers, dox them, and subject them to harassment and threats.

00:09:05.360 Border czar Tom Homan, a good friend of mine,

00:09:07.820 is wisely told ICE agents to mask up as they conduct raids

00:09:11.160 and enforce federal immigration law.

00:09:14.280 I doubt that the feds are going to comply with Newsom's new rules.

00:09:17.840 Let him try to enforce it.

00:09:19.380 The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution

00:09:21.940 prevents state officials from locking federal agents up

00:09:25.200 for enforcing federal law.

00:09:27.200 This law by Newsom is just window dressing

00:09:29.360 as he gears up for his presidential run.

00:09:32.620 On the other hand, he kind of reminds me of

00:09:34.660 Governor Mike Dukakis of Massachusetts. In other words, will Gavin Newsom run on the idea that

00:09:40.720 he'll do for America what he did for California? That's not much of a record to run on.

00:09:45.340 Meanwhile, in New York City, a Muslim supporter of New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mandami

00:09:50.440 was floored after he was told of Mandami's plan to decriminalize prostitution in the city.

00:09:55.240 Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, during an appearance at an Islamic center in the Bronx,

00:09:59.040 told an attendee there about Mandami's plan to essentially legalize prostitution. 0.97

00:10:05.260 And the Muslims did not believe Cuomo, which is understandable, 0.83

00:10:08.440 given Governor Cuomo's history of telling falsehoods.

00:10:11.000 However, in this case, Cuomo was actually telling the truth. 0.99

00:10:14.240 The Muslim individual said he believed Mandami would never, ever sponsor a bill 1.00

00:10:18.200 that would legalize prostitution as a Muslim brother.

00:10:21.400 This, however, was wrong. 1.00

00:10:23.120 There will be a reality check for many Mandami supporters

00:10:25.580 when they realize the totality of his radical agenda.

00:10:28.440 He's done a good job of duping the public, painting himself as an independent reformer, an outsider who opposes the entrenched political corruption of figures like the current mayor, Eric Adams.

00:10:37.660 But the branding is entirely deceptive.

00:10:40.600 You see, Mamdami is a radical socialist who makes even Senator Bernie Sanders look moderate by comparison.

00:10:46.920 He won't be able to help himself once he's mayor if he wins.

00:10:49.480 And the idea that Governor Kathy Hochul would serve as a deck on him since the authority and money for New York City flows through the state was erased last week when she enthusiastically endorsed Mamdami. 0.87

00:11:02.700 The possible silver lining of a Mamdami reign over New York City would be that it would wake up a lot of New Yorkers and the pendulum may shift back to strong conservative like in the days of Rudy Giuliani. 0.83

00:11:13.360 But in the meantime, Mandami actually admits that he sees no point in incarcerating violent criminals. 0.92

00:11:20.920 He says people are jailed only to make the victims feel better.

00:11:24.980 This is the same guy who says he's going to fund his free everything for the people of New York by raising taxes on white people.

00:11:33.160 His words, not mine.

00:11:34.800 In the meantime, President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk greeted each other during Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Phoenix on Sunday.

00:11:43.360 And even they sat next to each other during the service, showing that the two titans may be on their way towards bending fences.

00:11:50.160 Kirk's producer, Andrew Colbeck, said in an expo, Charlie so badly wanted these two men to come back together.

00:11:56.820 I hope they're saying it to each other, saying that they will do it for Charlie.

00:12:01.800 And as impetuous as he may seem at times, Musk earns earnestly to take a sledgehammer to the reviled Washington, D.C. status quo.

00:12:10.780 Theoretically, Musk is the perfect person to be the George Soros of the MAGA right,

00:12:16.040 a position that Musk once relished before his public falling out with President Trump.

00:12:21.140 When fully activated, Musk can force the Republican funding and organizational apparatus

00:12:25.200 to run a sleek, modernized, data-driven operation in the midterm elections that they would otherwise resist.

00:12:32.480 I believe it's time for MAGA to mend fences with Elon Musk for the greater good of saving the country

00:12:37.860 and winning the midterm elections.

00:12:40.280 Democrats regularly put personal squabbles aside during election time for the betterment of pushing their agenda.

00:12:46.340 And Republicans must show the same level of unity with Musk if we want to restore national greatness.

00:12:52.140 Musk's drive, competence and vision can prevent the arrogant political hacks of the Republican Party from exercising the mismanagement that they're very well known for.

00:13:01.600 It's time for grace to be shown and for the healing process to begin to welcome Elon Musk back into the fold and make him an integral part of the Republican electoral operation during the upcoming midterms.

00:13:13.300 I'm Roger Stone. You're tuned into the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:13:17.820 I have now predicted that Donald Trump and Elon Musk will get back together again and reform the powerhouse that I think forged a new governing coalition in which common sense Democrats, independents and independents joined not the Republican Party, but Donald Trump for a new golden age.

00:13:36.940 Don't go away. We'll be right back.

00:13:47.820 work. And we're back in the Stone Zone. The Department of Homeland Security is demanding

00:13:53.140 that the rogue left-wing governments of California, Illinois, and New York comply with enforcement

00:13:58.780 measures against illegal immigration. They're specifically concerned with those states refusing

00:14:03.700 to comply with ICE detainers to keep criminal illegals off the streets. Assistant Secretary

00:14:09.520 Tricia McLaughlin said these dangerous sanctuary policies, often combined with cashless bail,

00:14:14.960 such as New York City's, for serious crimes allow criminal illegal immigrants to be released back

00:14:20.760 into America's communities, threatening the American people's lives and well-being. ICE

00:14:25.320 detainers ask for something very simple, to notify ICE when criminal illegal aliens are released from

00:14:30.220 jail or prison to ensure that they go into ICE custody before they're released back onto our

00:14:35.320 streets. These sanctuary state politicians should do the right thing and side with law-abiding

00:14:40.280 Americans over criminal illegal aliens. There is no reason for these states not to comply with ICE

00:14:45.900 detainers, except for the fact that they want illegals to overrun the country. Democrats are 0.53

00:14:50.820 happy to let illegals run wild because they feel that the demographic shift will help them keep 0.97

00:14:55.440 power. You see, ultimately, they want to register these people and have them all vote, even if it 0.73

00:15:00.340 means innocent people will die and be victimized in the process. This is what's happened to the

00:15:05.260 once great Democrat party, the party of John F. Kennedy, the party of Harry S. Truman. That party

00:15:10.940 no longer exists, having been hijacked by a radical Muslim clique. So there is no such thing 1.00

00:15:17.800 as a moderate Democrat anymore. That's become, quite sadly, an oxymoron. While there's no question

00:15:24.460 that the Trump administration should declare Antifa as a terrorist organization and end that

00:15:29.960 organization's financing and orchestration of violence, destruction, and death, as well as

00:15:34.780 ending USAID funding or a multitude of other extremist NGOs fomenting violence and illegal

00:15:40.800 activity. As I've said before, the right must avoid the temptation to engage in the same

00:15:45.700 cancel culture exercised by the left after they were stunned by President Donald Trump's

00:15:50.700 improbable victory back in 2016. You see, reverence for the U.S. Constitution, and particularly for

00:15:56.060 the First Amendment, means that free speech, again, must be protected. So as distasteful

00:16:01.120 this may be, speech that is repugnant, offensive, and vile, well, that must also be protected.

00:16:06.860 That doesn't include yelling fire in a crowded theater, but distinctions can be made between

00:16:10.860 offensive speech and exhortations that threaten public physical safety. I believe that the

00:16:17.020 administration's on the right course. I was glad to see the Attorney General,

00:16:21.560 Pam Bondi, back off the declaration about hate speech. Charlie Kirk himself, before his untimely

00:16:28.660 death, said in a Twitter post back when it was Twitter that there was no such thing as hate

00:16:35.040 speech. We cannot give in to the temptation to silence those that we disagree with when they're

00:16:40.680 talking about actual political discourse. There's room for America for disagreement. There is,

00:16:46.480 however, no room for violence. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone here on the

00:16:51.760 Red Apple Audio Networks. Every day we get together here for a discussion of news, politics,

00:16:57.920 history, and yes, occasionally a few tips on recipes and food, my other favorite subject.

00:17:04.580 Meanwhile, we have a new majority in America. I think that the death of Charlie Kirk is going

00:17:11.760 to have a profound effect on our politics, one that we cannot foresee, one that will impact the

00:17:17.000 2026 elections in a very positive way. As his own widow, Erica Kirk, said over the weekend,

00:17:26.320 They have no idea what they have unleashed in terms of this new force in American politics.

00:17:32.000 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:17:38.660 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:17:45.640 And we're back in The Stone Zone.

00:17:48.260 A gravelling letter from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to President Donald Trump has just been released,

00:17:54.080 showing that Maduro is feeling the pain from recent bombing campaigns of drug boats near his shores.

00:18:00.700 In the letter, Maduro claims that Venezuela is supporting narco-trafficking as fake news propagated through various media channels.

00:18:08.960 Maduro included in the letter compelling data on drug production and drug trafficking

00:18:12.860 that demonstrates that Venezuela is a territory free of drug production.

00:18:17.960 Maduro said,

00:18:18.920 I respectfully invite you, Mr. President, to promote peace through constructive dialogue

00:18:22.700 and mutual understanding throughout the hemisphere.

00:18:26.660 My sources tell me that Maduro is deathly afraid of being hit by a drone or worse.

00:18:31.740 That's why he's suddenly trying to dupe President Donald Trump.

00:18:34.840 I doubt that he'll be successful.

00:18:36.640 It's absolutely clear that Maduro and his government are heavily engaged in the drug trade,

00:18:41.700 as his nation's fledgling government could not survive without it financially.

00:18:45.920 It's also clear that Maduro is in bed with China,

00:18:48.640 helping China with its goal of putting fentanyl on the streets of America to weaken our country. 0.81

00:18:54.080 Maduro is a socialist despot who cannot be trusted. 0.95

00:18:57.460 He must be stopped or else his poisonous ideology may spread like a cancer throughout Latin America. 0.98

00:19:03.140 May the Venezuelan people rise up against this tyrant and put him behind bars where he belongs.

00:19:08.060 Meanwhile, the communist insurgency really threatens us in Honduras as well,

00:19:12.900 not to mention the regime in Cuba.

00:19:15.800 You see, in Miami-Dade, there's an entire subculture of politicians

00:19:19.540 who have dined out for decades in their opposition to the brutal Cuban regime.

00:19:25.060 They raise millions in campaign funds, but the plight of the Cuban people never improves.

00:19:30.720 Meanwhile, President Trump will meet with Argentinian President Javier Malay in New York City tomorrow,

00:19:36.200 joined by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessett,

00:19:38.880 to discuss the best way that the countries can work together moving forward.

00:19:42.240 It's absolutely clear that the Trump administration is firmly behind Malay as he frees free markets and restores prosperity to the nation, long beleaguered by massive spending, debt and socialism.

00:19:54.560 Secretary Besant, who I think is among President Trump's very best appointees, said that Argentina is systematically important as a U.S. ally in Latin America and the Treasury stands ready to do whatever is needed to mandate the support of Argentina.

00:20:07.920 We're sending a message that if you do the right thing, if you follow good policies, that if you're aligned with the values of the United States, we're willing to provide assistance when things move out of equilibrium.

00:20:18.100 Malay, who I became friendly with years ago before he was a political figure, we actually connected through the direct message function on what was Twitter, now known as X, is a proponent of libertarian economics, remains steadfast on eliminating government even as he gains prominent enemies throughout his own country.

00:20:37.040 They won't make it easy for Javier Malay's revolution to hold and continue throughout decades to bring Argentina fully out of its economic malaise.

00:20:46.440 Support from the Trump administration will help Malay stabilize his country and then put them on the road to once again being what they were, the Paris of South America.

00:20:55.980 That's what they called Buenos Aires, the richest country in the region.

00:20:59.500 Expect tomorrow's discussion with these two men to be very, very fruitful and, I think, very important for the future of freedom in this hemisphere.

00:21:08.000 Meanwhile, following the passage of President Trump's big, beautiful bill and the subsequent increases in funding for immigrant enforcement, ICE is on a hiring spree and they certainly have a lot to choose from.

00:21:19.300 They have over 150,000 applications from patriots heeding the call who are ready to help remove illegal immigrants through mass deportations.

00:21:28.980 The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, 0.97

00:21:32.200 ICE has received more than 150,000 applications from patriotic Americans who want to defend the homeland by removing the worst of the worst criminals who are here illegally in the United States.

00:21:42.960 We have issued almost 18,000 tentative job offers here. 0.66

00:21:46.540 You see, Americans are answering their country's calls to serve and help we remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists and gang members from our country.

00:21:54.760 Meanwhile, the Democrats continue to complain about due process and try to protect those illegals who they ultimately hope to certify as voters and vote in our 2026 elections.

00:22:06.980 They criticize us when we openly call this what it is, but it is an effort to flood and change the demographic of the American voting population.

00:22:16.120 Those hired by ICE can receive perks such as a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness, unlimited overtime, and enhanced retirement benefits.

00:22:26.160 They're expected to use $30 billion to hire at least 10,000 more staffers in the department.

00:22:32.580 ICE job fairs throughout the country have been hit with massive interest.

00:22:36.200 They will have their pick of the litter to choose from as they sort through the massive number of applications.

00:22:40.780 This is great news for the health of our country as nobody is being scared off by the left from conducting immigration enforcement, which is primarily the goal of their violent demonstrations.

00:22:51.180 Meanwhile, Wikipedia got caught after the brutal stabbing of Irina Zarutska.

00:22:58.100 She's the woman who was very sadly depicted on a Charlotte subway car being killed by a violent, mentally ill thug named DeCarlos Brown Jr.

00:23:09.160 It's emblematic of how the Democrats are putting innocent people in danger with their soft-on-crime policies.

00:23:14.840 This prompted Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that has been co-opted by the leftist propaganda machine for years,

00:23:21.700 to attempt to censor information about this case.

00:23:25.120 I've had my own experience with Wikipedia.

00:23:27.520 If you check my bio there, you'll find that most of it's just wrong.

00:23:31.560 And when I go in and change it to the facts, the truth, well, they just change it back.

00:23:36.260 Wikipedia cannot be trusted as an unbiased source of information regarding anything, whether it's the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, or the Russian collusion hoax.

00:23:46.940 Don't go to Wikipedia for information. All you'll get is propaganda.

00:23:51.580 Far-left Wikipedia administrators repeatedly attempting now to delete the page on Zarutska's murder, and when that failed, they blocked all non-administrator notes on the page so they could just remove the name of the murderer.

00:24:02.880 This received massive pushback, including from the House Freedom Caucus and Congressman Andy Biggs, who's been an outspoken critic of Wikipedia for their bias.

00:24:12.420 The henchmen of the left want to keep Zorutska's case under wraps because it's emblematic of America's rising crime problem.

00:24:19.960 The left likes to complain about systematic racism, white privilege, and oppression lurking beneath the surface

00:24:25.240 when it's the real glaring problem of white people getting disproportionately victimized by perpetrators that is obvious to anyone who will look. 0.94

00:24:34.000 Because of their bizarre, diversity-obsessed worldview, the liberals are willing to let these criminals victimize more people because of the color of their skin.

00:24:42.000 This is racism, and this is what we must fight and defeat.

00:24:45.720 Zaruzka's memory can be our rallying cry for cleaning up our streets.

00:24:49.820 As my friend, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna has said,

00:24:52.960 we must never forget the violent murder of Irina Zaruzka.

00:24:57.780 I've looked at that video over and over again.

00:25:00.380 It really still gives me the shakes.

00:25:02.340 Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on CNN,

00:25:06.420 where he showed the Democrats will stop at nothing,

00:25:08.740 spreading dangerous falsehoods about President Trump and his supporters,

00:25:12.240 even after the vicious murder of Charlie Kirk.

00:25:15.160 Congressman Jeffrey said Donald Trump and these extremists have been destroying integrity.

00:25:20.060 We should also blame the conservative justices on the Supreme Court for all the things that we see happening.

00:25:25.520 They're effectively enabled Donald Trump at times to behave just like a king.

00:25:29.340 That needs to be revisited as well.

00:25:30.980 The Supreme Court, shame on them for what they've done to this country.

00:25:34.240 What does he mean, shame on them?

00:25:35.340 You mean upholding the law?

00:25:37.540 That's what they've done.

00:25:38.380 You see, when a federal judge rules the way Democrats and liberals want them to, they're hailed as a great hero.

00:25:44.560 But when they rule along the lines of the U.S. Constitution in favor of Trump administration policies, well, suddenly they're political appointees and they're illegitimate.

00:25:55.940 It's all too often that we see this tactic being used.

00:25:59.140 Democrats are in too deep to turn back now, in my opinion. 0.97

00:26:01.980 They've convinced their constituents that every Trump supporter is a Nazi, a fascist, a white supremacist, a national Christian nationalist, a threat to democracy. 0.80

00:26:11.520 Having done so, they put a target on the backs of people, well, people like me, who care about the country and just want to see it made great again. 0.96

00:26:19.140 The Democrats are the one who tore this nation apart.

00:26:21.660 This must never be forgotten.

00:26:23.380 The time for unity is now, but only with those who care about America.

00:26:26.880 The Democrats, sadly, in my opinion, do not apply in this regard.

00:26:31.780 If you've read any of my books, you know that I criticize both Republicans and Democrats, having written The Bush Crime Family as well as The Clintons' War on Women.

00:26:41.200 But in this case, I'm reporting faithfully on today's Democrat Party.

00:26:45.900 The Democrat Party, who's long cloaked in the guise of compassion and progress, was actually cultivated a legacy steeped in hate, violence and bigotry that stretches back centuries and continues to poison American society today.

00:26:58.760 From its historical roots in slavery and segregation to its modern-day incitement of political violence and intolerance,

00:27:05.860 the left has consistently weaponized division for power, leaving a trail of destruction that belies its self-proclaimed moral superiority.

00:27:14.400 In 2025, as the nation reels from events like the assassination of my good friend Charlie Kirk,

00:27:19.880 the left's enduring pattern of fostering hate and excusing murder stands exposed,

00:27:24.880 was revealing a party that thrives on animosity while masquerading as the champion of justice.

00:27:30.120 The Democrat Party's origins are inseparable from its defense of slavery and racial oppression.

00:27:35.600 Founded in the early 19th century, Democrats were the party of the Confederacy,

00:27:39.460 championing slavery against Republican abolitionists like Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

00:27:45.440 Post-Civil War, they birthed Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation and empowered the Ku Klux Klan,

00:27:50.960 which serves the party's de facto militia in the South. 0.69

00:27:54.840 Figures like Senator Robert Byrd, who was actually a former Senate Klansman who remained a Democrat icon into the 21st century, embodies this very legacy.

00:28:04.640 The party's resistance to civil rights, with 80 percent of Democrats in Congress voting against the 1964 Civil Rights Act compared to 20 percent of Republicans, underscores this entrenched bigotry.

00:28:15.660 It was only with Republican votes and being shepherded by Vice President Richard Nixon that the 1958 Civil Rights Act became law.

00:28:24.780 That's the first and most significant piece of civil rights legislation since the Civil War, passed only with the support and leadership of Republicans.

00:28:33.500 Even today, critics argue that the left's obsession with race-based policies like affirmative action and reparations perpetuates division, cloaking paternalistic racism in progressive rhetoric.

00:28:45.660 it needs to be called out. And that's what I'm doing. The left's modern era is marked by rhetoric

00:28:50.980 so venomous it has repeatedly incited violence. From the 1960s, when new left radicals like the

00:28:57.560 Weather Underground bombed federal buildings and murdered law enforcement officers, to the 2020

00:29:02.740 BLM riots that left cities burning and dozens dead, Democrats have either excused or endorsed

00:29:09.820 chaos. Leaders like Representative Maxine Waters, who in 2018 urged supporters to harass Trump

00:29:16.520 officials in public, as well as Representative Jasmine Crockett, whose 2025 mockery of Governor

00:29:23.140 Greg Abbott's disability inflamed tensions which have fueled this culture of hate.

00:29:29.480 The September 2025 assassination of my good friend Charlie Kirk by Tyler Robinson,

00:29:34.640 according to the government, a leftist radicalized by Democrat talking points,

00:29:38.540 labeling conservatives as threats to democracy, is a direct result of this incendiary language.

00:29:45.320 Robinson's texts, railing against Kirk's hatred, echo the left's playbook of demonizing opponents,

00:29:51.500 yet Democrats, like Representative Ocasio-Cortez, deflected by calling for understanding his motives,

00:29:59.120 revealing their refusal to condemn their own.

00:30:02.580 The left's bigotry is not just historical, but thrives in its current dogma.

00:30:07.320 Their obsession with identity politics dividing people by race, gender and sexuality breeds intolerance under the guise of inclusion.

00:30:16.580 Cancel culture driven by leftists on platforms like that targets dissenters with doxing and career destruction as seen in 2024 when a Texas teacher was fired for questioning DEI mandates.

00:30:28.900 The left's selective outrage, condemning hate speech from conservatives while excusing anti-Semitic protests on college campuses or anti-white rhetoric, figures like Ilhan Omar exposes a double standard rooted in ideological supremacy.

00:30:45.100 Their policies, like open borders that strain minority communities or soft on crime stances that devastate urban areas disproportionately, harm the very groups they claim to champion, revealing a performative compassion that masks neglect.

00:31:01.680 The left's complicity in murder extends beyond the rhetoric to policy and inaction.

00:31:06.620 Even in the early 20th century, the Democrat-aligned unions, like the United Mine Workers, engaged in deadly clashes, killing dozens during strikes.

00:31:15.100 In the 1970s, we saw leftist groups like the Black Panthers and the Symbionese Liberation Army commit murders in the name of revolution, often romanticized by liberal intellectuals.

00:31:26.980 Now, fast forward to 2025, and Democrat-run cities like Chicago and Philadelphia witness zoaring homicide rates under progressive district attorneys like Kim Fox and Larry Krasner, who prioritize leniency over justice.

00:31:42.180 We see this right there in Manhattan with our own Alvin Bragg.

00:31:47.180 The 2020 riots, which Democrats downplayed as mostly peaceful, resulted in over 25 deaths and over $2 billion in damage,

00:31:55.300 with leaders like Vice President Kamala Harris bailing out rioters.

00:31:59.960 Kirk's murder, enabled by a climate of leftist vitriol, is but the latest chapter in the long history of the left excusing or inciting violence while blaming conservatives for the fallout.

00:32:11.480 The Democrats' strategy hinges on stoking division to maintain control.

00:32:16.180 You see, by framing every issue, whether it's immigration, crime, or free speech, as a moral crusade, they cast opponents as evil, justifying, therefore, any means whatsoever to silence them.

00:32:27.480 This tactic, evident in their post-9-11 support for the Patriot Act to surveil extremists, which was later used against conservatives like me, continues in 2025 and calls to label MAGA supporters as domestic terrorists.

00:32:41.480 This is the truth.

00:32:43.740 I'm Roger Stone.

00:32:44.600 You're listening to The Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:32:50.700 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:32:57.280 And we're back in The Stone Zone.

00:32:59.660 You know, I am a political animal.

00:33:02.060 In fact, that was the name of a famous profile on me in the Standard Magazine back in the 90s.

00:33:07.700 There's nothing I like better than watching a political debate.

00:33:10.320 And I saw one this weekend that was really entertaining.

00:33:14.200 This was a heated debate in New Jersey's upcoming gubernatorial election, which is turning into a one-sided affair after the Democrats' corruption was fully exposed by her Republican opponent in front of the entire state.

00:33:26.120 On Sunday, New Jersey Globe hosted a showdown between Trump-endorsed businessman and former state representative Jack Cittarelli and Democrat Congresswoman Mickey Sherrill, which took place at Ryder University.

00:33:40.340 The debate focused on issues ranging from taxes, housing and the cost of living, education and, yes, tariffs.

00:33:46.860 Of course, Sherrill soon became nasty and decided to mop Ginnarelli while bragging about her perceived prospects in the race, which is actually, according to polling that I've seen now, a dead heat.

00:33:58.840 President Donald Trump ran surprisingly strong in the Garden State, considering it was not a state that was targeted by the Trump campaign, who needed to reserve their resources for the swing states, all of which were carried in the end by Donald Trump.

00:34:13.340 Therefore, the late Trump surge in New Jersey gives light to the fact that New Jersey, the Garden State, which has not elected a Republican governor in years, could actually elect a Republican this November.

00:34:26.220 Cittarelli kept his cool throughout the entire debate,

00:34:29.420 and then he calmly laid out the stark choice between New Jersey residents must face in November.

00:34:37.560 Either a man dedicated most of his life to the private sector

00:34:40.700 versus a career politician who profited off of taxpayer dollars.

00:34:45.900 There's another big difference between her public service and my public service Cittarelli began.

00:34:50.420 It actually cost me money with the amount of time I put in as a state rep.

00:34:53.900 but took away from my company and my family.

00:34:57.000 Then Cittarelli thrust the dagger, I really love this,

00:35:00.780 by revealing that Sherrill greatly enhanced her wealth

00:35:03.680 during her seven years as a member of Congress 0.98

00:35:06.240 by trading defense stocks and therefore violating federal law. 1.00

00:35:10.980 Nancy Pelosi would envy this level of corruption and personal enrichment. 0.99

00:35:16.000 In the seven years that she'd been in Congress, 0.99

00:35:18.160 she's tripled her net wealth, Cittarelli said.

00:35:21.000 There's another big difference between the two of us.

00:35:22.900 she broke the law. She had to pay fines for violating federal law on stock trades and stock

00:35:29.040 reporting. And the New York Times reports that while you're sitting on the House Armed Services

00:35:33.000 Committee, you can't trade defense stocks. That is precisely what she did. When the far-left New 0.96

00:35:39.960 York Times calls out a Democrat for wrongdoing, well, the whole truth is probably even worse.

00:35:45.960 This revelation should immediately end Cheryl's campaign and lead to the Department of Justice 0.96

00:35:50.720 opening investigation into her. 0.99

00:35:52.980 Nobody is, after all, above the law.

00:35:55.980 I actually think with the announcement by my good friend Cliff Maloney

00:36:00.620 that he is deploying the shoe leather tactics of door-to-door,

00:36:06.100 old-fashioned shoe leather politics to the Garden State

00:36:09.620 with his New Jersey Chase program that served President Trump

00:36:15.300 so extraordinarily well in neighboring Pennsylvania

00:36:17.940 that the Garden State's governorship is actually within grasp.

00:36:22.940 I know a lot about the Garden State.

00:36:25.440 I ran Tom Kane's governor's race there in 1981 and his smashing re-election there in 1985.

00:36:32.740 I also managed the state for Ronald Reagan in two different presidential campaigns in 1980 and in 1984.

00:36:41.440 New Jersey can fall to the Republicans.

00:36:44.120 New Jersey can go red.

00:36:45.480 and Jack Cittarelli, I think, is exactly the right candidate to lead that resurgence.

00:36:51.160 This was a great debate.

00:36:52.740 If you didn't see it, I urge you to go to the website of the New Jersey Globe to check it out.

00:36:57.920 This was real political combat. 1.00

00:36:59.620 But the fact that Cheryl, who's originally from Virginia, is an elitist 1.00

00:37:04.040 and is not in touch with the working class sensibilities of New Jersey 0.95

00:37:07.900 shown through in the entire debate.

00:37:10.420 If you love politics or if you're from New Jersey or even if you're not

00:37:14.380 and you want to see a great debate, I urge you to check this one out.

00:37:18.100 That's it for us today on The Stone Zone.
