The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 10-06-25

00:00:00.380 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:17.680 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:21.540 People love him and respect him, Roger Stone.

00:00:24.280 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.

00:00:27.740 Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:30.000 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:36.180 Well, all anyone wants to talk about this week, of course, are the disparities between the arrest of former FBI Director James Comey and me.

00:00:46.200 Strangely enough, I think most Americans remember that fateful morning when 29 heavily armed FBI agents arrived at my home in 17 armored vehicles.

00:00:58.000 They were wearing night goggles as night turned today.

00:01:03.280 They were brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons.

00:01:08.560 They had a battering ram with them as well as some extraordinarily vicious looking dogs.

00:01:13.620 They also pulled up in two amphibious units because I lived on a canal at that time and a full complement of FBI agents in frogmen operations outfits, I guess, fully armed, jumped out on the dock.

00:01:29.300 It was a $1.1 million taxpayer-funded extravaganza, all for the benefit of CNN.

00:01:39.020 In the case of James Comey, he hasn't even turned himself in yet.

00:01:44.860 In fact, he has until October 9th until he voluntarily does so.

00:01:50.540 Now, this is particularly interesting because James Comey and I were both charged, essentially, with the exact same crimes, lying under oath to Congress and obstruction of an official proceeding.

00:02:02.140 Now, some critics point out that I was charged also with witness tampering, but frankly, the evidence of that, an email in which I threatened to take a government witness Randy Credico's dog away from him, was nonsense because, well, Judge Amy Berman Jackson would not allow my attorneys to enter into evidence a series of emails that would have put that into context,

00:02:26.960 in which I expressed my concern that Credico wasn't feeding his dogs, opting, I think, to spend his money on drugs instead of the dog. 0.97

00:02:36.060 Damn clever, those Weissman prosecutors. 0.93

00:02:39.020 But the over-the-top raid on my home at 6 o'clock in the morning, given my lack of any previous criminal record, and the fact that I didn't have a passport and didn't own a firearm, was a raid that was staged for theatrics, for the optics. 0.94

00:02:55.200 I would learn later from an FBI agent in the Miami Bureau that taxpayers paid a whopping $1.1 million for this extravaganza.

00:03:07.860 Normally, in the case of a first-time nonviolent crime by someone with no previous record, a defendant's lawyer would be informed that his client was being charged, and he would simply turn himself in in a prearranged time and place.

00:03:22.800 Had I been informed of that, I certainly would have done so.

00:03:25.720 But the FBI claimed that I had to be arrested in the stunning made-for-television stunt that they put together, simply because I was a flight risk.

00:03:38.120 That's an absurdity, of course, because they knew I had no valid passport, and that I'm instantly identifiable.

00:03:45.500 The whole thing was staged for the benefit of CNN.

00:03:48.420 Once again, I was arrested at 6.06, and at 6.22, Sarah Murray, a particularly vile woman with CNN, contacted my lawyer, Grant Smith, to send him a draft of my criminal indictment, a draft that was sealed, a draft that was not released until 10.30 that morning.

00:04:16.060 The fact that they said I had to be arrested in the surprise manner I was was because I was a flight risk, but also they claimed that if I had known in advance, I might destroy evidence, which is laughable because they had gone to two federal judges claiming that they had probable cause to charge me with treason, conspiracy against the United States, counterfeiting, money laundering, wire fraud.

00:04:45.060 Aiding and abetting, aiding and abetting before and after a felony, and unauthorized access to a government computer.

00:04:56.160 Of course, they never found any evidence of those crimes.

00:04:59.800 I've been going through all of my emails, all of my text messages, all of my documents.

00:05:04.800 They tore my house apart in a 13-hour search, leaving it shambles, but literally nothing they found was used in the trial against me.

00:05:16.120 Now, people are surprised when they learn that CNN actually won an award from the White House Correspondents Association for their incisive investigative reporting, which led them to stake out my home in the pre-dawn hours of the day of my arrest.

00:05:31.380 Actually, I got an inkling that they were coming because the same Sarah Murray contacted me at 4 o'clock p.m. the afternoon before I was arrested to ask for my address.

00:05:45.640 It was then that I said to my wife, you know, they're coming to arrest me tomorrow morning.

00:05:50.680 And she said, well, you've been saying that for months.

00:05:52.680 I said, no, this time I'm absolutely sure.

00:05:55.720 What's interesting is, since I knew they were coming, I set my alarm for 5 a.m.

00:06:01.120 I got up, dowered, put on my Roger Stone did nothing wrong t-shirt because product placement is everything.

00:06:09.640 And I was sitting in the upstairs window of the bathroom of my home, which was the only vantage from which you could see the entire front yard.

00:06:18.600 And therefore, I can tell you that the so-called stakeout by CNN lasted approximately 15 minutes, meaning the CNN camera crew drove up and set up in front of my house prior to the FBI arranging.

00:06:34.680 A stakeout is when you sit in a place for hours waiting for something to happen.

00:06:39.040 This wasn't a stakeout.

00:06:40.300 This was a set up.

00:06:41.800 Now, interestingly enough, when you looked at the raft of my indictment,

00:06:48.600 that CNN clearly had in advance of my arrest, it had no timestamps or court markings on it.

00:06:56.300 Therefore, CNN's claim later that they got it online is just another egregious lie.

00:07:03.620 But if you look at the metadata tags of the document, you see the initials of the man who wrote it.

00:07:11.520 Therefore, the man who leaked it.

00:07:13.740 That would be corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissman.

00:07:17.840 By the way, the leak of a search or arrest warrant or any grand jury material, including a draft of an indictment prior to us being executed or unsealed,

00:07:36.220 is a felony under 18 U.S. Code 401c.

00:07:41.860 My judge raised that.

00:07:43.620 Pardon me.

00:07:44.160 My lawyers raised it with the judge, who, quite frankly, could care less.

00:07:48.300 My case also differs a lot from James Comey in that Judge Amy Berman Jackson placed a broad gag order on me,

00:07:56.920 claiming that any public comments I made defending myself could taint the jury pool,

00:08:03.040 a claim for which, of course, she never produced any evidence.

00:08:05.540 In fact, her gag order was so broad, she also extended it to members of my family,

00:08:11.980 meaning my wife, my adult children could not speak out on my behalf.

00:08:16.340 Very clearly unconstitutional.

00:08:18.480 Why, then, if the gag order was put on me because it would taint the jury,

00:08:26.880 did the judge unconstitutionally leave it on me after I was convicted and then prior to my being sentenced

00:08:34.840 and even after I was sentenced while awaiting incarceration?

00:08:38.520 The idea was to silence me because I continued to point out that the FBI admitted in the pretrial motions in my case

00:08:48.020 that they had never examined the computer servers at the Democrat National Committee.

00:08:54.020 Now, my critics argue that I was gagged because I had posted an image of Judge Amy Berman Jackson

00:08:59.920 in one of my legal defense fund solicitations online that depicted a rifle crosshairs over the judge's face.

00:09:07.300 This, by the way, is entirely untrue.

00:09:10.360 The sentencing recommendation of the prosecutors later, however,

00:09:13.920 would actually include extra time for me because I had threatened to kill a federal judge.

00:09:20.880 That was also false.

00:09:22.200 In fact, on February 18, 2019, I did post a graphic of Judge Amy Berman Jackson

00:09:27.980 on my Instagram feed that had in the upper left corner the logo of the organization that created it,

00:09:36.060 Corruption Central.

00:09:37.880 Then some reporter at BuzzFeed, who obviously has never held a rifle with a scope in his or her life,

00:09:45.020 decided that this tiny logo looked like the crosshairs of a rifle and then accused me of threatening to kill the judge.

00:09:51.400 I did nothing of the kind.

00:09:53.980 But once this false narrative took off like a rocket in the fake news media, the facts and the truth were indiscernible.

00:10:02.740 Lost in the immediate fake news feeding frenzy is the fact that this same logo appears in the same place on other images of individuals

00:10:11.740 that this organization, Corruption Central, had publicly criticized, including Mark Zuckerberg, Kamala Harris, and others.

00:10:18.820 Even when I produced an affidavit that I obtained from the graphic artist who had designed the microscopically tiny image in the upper left-hand corner of the photo of the judge,

00:10:30.080 who insisted that his artistic design was based on a Celtic cross and was not a rifle and was the logo of an ongoing organization,

00:10:40.940 and that he had published many such images that did not quell the firestorm.

00:10:46.660 So by the time the fake news media conflagration was over, this story, Roger Stone posted a picture of the judge with the crosshairs over her face to threaten her, became a fact.

00:10:59.660 I have posted that image online today so people can make their own decisions.

00:11:05.480 Judge Amy Berman Jackson then ordered U.S. Marshals to conduct an investigation as to whether I had threatened to kill her, an absurd idea,

00:11:13.620 and they himself, in fact, came back empty-handed.

00:11:17.560 Nonetheless, the prosecutors in my case demanded additional jail time based on this claim in their sentencing memorandum,

00:11:25.200 despite the fact that I was neither charged nor convicted of any such crime.

00:11:29.960 My Instagram post did, however, expose that Mueller's legal trickery to ensure that I was tried before this particular judge,

00:11:38.460 who had viciously violated the constitutional rights of Paul Manafort by incarcerating him in solitary confinement long before he'd ever been convicted of a crime.

00:11:49.520 Mueller's thugs insisted that I had to be tried in front of Judge Jackson because my case was related to the case they had filed against 17 Russians,

00:11:59.100 who they claimed had hacked the DNC.

00:12:02.440 That case never went to trial.

00:12:04.240 No discovery was ever produced to support that fact.

00:12:08.460 In fact, prosecutors promised the judge that they would produce evidence gleaned against me from search warrants in that case.

00:12:17.760 Of course, they never did so because no such evidence exists.

00:12:21.500 Mueller's hit squad was allowed to judge shop based on a lie.

00:12:25.820 Jackson, who had dismissed the wrongful death case brought by against Hillary Clinton by the families of the men killed in Bezgazi,

00:12:34.520 regularly attacked President Trump and me from the bench during my trial.

00:12:39.540 Tucker Carlson rightly called her a left wing Democrat in a robe. 0.95

00:12:43.240 I have a signed affidavit from a juror in my case who also swore that Judge Jackson visited the jury room during deliberations when the jury was undecided on one count.

00:12:53.640 This is, of course, enough to taint my entire trial and would, if proven, lead to the impeachment of a federal judge.

00:13:02.340 In a 55-minute barang at my sentencing, an unhinged judge, Amy Berman Jackson, said,

00:13:09.940 you were convicted of covering up for Donald Trump, to which I now say, covering up what?

00:13:15.300 With the recent declassification of Russian collusion oath documents by the director of national intelligence,

00:13:21.240 Nelson Gabbard, it is very clear that there was nothing to cover up, that I had no motive to lie.

00:13:28.300 I'm Roger Stone. You're tuned in to The Stone Zone.

00:13:31.580 I'm going to continue to talk about the difference between my case and that of FBI Director James Comey when we come back,

00:13:39.340 because there is no better example of the two-tiered justice system as it operated in the days of Obama and Biden,

00:13:47.360 and to some extent, the same way it operates today. Don't go away.

00:13:51.760 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine. What's your secret?

00:13:55.420 Goya coconut milk. How does it taste so good?

00:13:57.800 It's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich, creamy texture.

00:14:02.040 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:14:04.240 None. Just smooth, coconutty goodness.

00:14:07.320 What can I make with it?

00:14:08.460 From curries to sweet treats like coconut flan, the possibilities are endless.

00:14:13.800 Goya coconut milk. Take your cooking to the next level. No question about it.

00:14:17.740 Find it in the Goya section of your local grocery store.

00:14:20.100 If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:14:23.580 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.

00:14:27.220 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:40.680 This is the Stone Zone.

00:14:43.140 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:14:45.060 It's the Stone Zone.

00:14:46.600 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.

00:14:54.140 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:14:56.580 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:14:58.920 Here's Roger Stone.

00:15:00.500 And we're back in the Stone Zone.

00:15:06.200 On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that 300 National Guard groups will be sent from California to Oregon in defiance of a federal court order temporarily blocking the president for making this very move.

00:15:18.660 This move comes as Antifa terrorists target ICE facilities in Portland with sustained violence as police are ordered by left-wing city leaders to look the other way.

00:15:28.720 A White House spokesperson said of the move.

00:15:31.260 President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement.

00:15:40.100 President Trump will not turn the blind up.

00:15:42.180 It's a lawlessness claim in America's city.

00:15:45.100 This is yet the latest example of judicial tyranny.

00:15:49.340 It is the last line of defense of the violent corrupt system as they try to stop Donald Trump from enforcing his legal rights and authority to deport dangerous illegal immigrant criminals. 0.92

00:16:05.460 California is another hotbed.

00:16:09.260 We've seen this in Los Angeles.

00:16:10.320 And Chicago is soon to be ground zero of this very, very thing.

00:16:16.860 Joining us very shortly, Mark Vargas, the editor and publisher of the Illinois Review, will bring us up to date on what's going on in Chicago, where the president seems intent to once again use the National Guard to preserve order.

00:16:30.160 In the case of California, Governor Gavin Newsom said he would be filing lawsuits against the Trump administration over the deployment of the National Guard.

00:16:39.600 The Democrats, it seems to me, will do anything in their power to prevent ICE from deporting illegal immigrants.

00:16:46.420 This has nothing to do with humanitarian concerns.

00:16:49.000 It has everything to do with their attempts to change the demographics in America and to put into place a permanent voting bloc from the third world who will vote for Democrats and socialism in perpetuity. 0.99

00:17:01.280 If the courts stand in the way of President Trump restoring the rule of law in cities like Portland, Chicago, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and other Democrat-run hellscapes, President Trump should take a page from one of his favorite presidents, Andrew Jackson, and defy the courts.

00:17:18.500 America must not die because some out-of-touch lawyer wearing robes was too craven to do what is necessary to save this country.

00:17:27.000 President Trump is the right leader at the right time to stand up to the radical left and the functionalities within the system.

00:17:35.320 But history is repeating itself.

00:17:37.340 Yes, as President Richard Nixon had to fight the weather underground, the People's Liberation Army and the Black Panthers.

00:17:44.120 Today, Donald Trump realizes that Antifa and Black Lives Matter are committed to American civil war, and they intend to unleash mayhem, death, and violence across the land. 0.90

00:17:58.440 America is at war, but we have a wartime president.

00:18:02.420 Donald Trump will not make the mistake he made in his first term when these same entities are burning down half the country.

00:18:09.440 First, he will defund those financing this terrorist regime, this terrorist effort to destroy our country, and then he will use the National Guard and law enforcement to protect the people.

00:18:27.760 It is the first responsibility of the president of the United States to maintain order and protect American citizens.

00:18:35.240 I'm going to talk to Mark Vargas with the Illinois Review about what's going on in Chicago.

00:18:39.620 So please don't touch that dial because, well, we'll be right back.

00:18:45.940 The Stone Zone.

00:18:47.860 Entertaining and informative.

00:18:50.000 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:18:57.760 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:19:06.240 People love him and respect him.

00:19:07.700 Roger Stone.

00:19:08.960 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:19:10.880 It's the Stone Zone.

00:19:12.920 Here's Roger Stone.

00:19:15.920 And we're back in the Stone Zone, joining us from ground zero.

00:19:21.000 That seems to me to be a national insurrection by the radical left who object to President Donald Trump's mandate to deport dangerous, illegal, violent criminals is Mark Vargas.

00:19:34.220 Mark Vargas is the editor and publisher of the Illinois Review.

00:19:37.680 He has been chronicling what's going on in the on the ground in Chicago.

00:19:42.860 There has been speculation for weeks that President Trump would mobilize the National Guard to restore order in the Windy City.

00:19:52.020 J.B. Pritzker, the Democrat governor and Brandon Johnson, the Democrat mayor, have resisted that, insisting everything is fine in Chicago, which anybody who can watch television knows that is not the case.

00:20:06.020 But Saturday, you had a particularly alarming situation when police officers were reportedly ordered to stand down and not assist ICE agents who were surrounded and in distress and under attack in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood.

00:20:23.900 Mark, tell us what's going on here.

00:20:25.860 Well, Roger, it is a shocking scenario that unfolded over the weekend.

00:20:30.620 By the way, 30 shot, five killed.

00:20:34.220 But here you have an ICE agent surrounded by very violent and dangerous protesters.

00:20:40.100 What does he do?

00:20:40.680 He naturally calls for backup.

00:20:42.720 And you can tell in the transcripts that there's mass confusion because the police are ready to respond, the Chicago police.

00:20:51.140 And then they're being told to stand down.

00:20:53.800 And then the police officer goes, wait a second, we're not sending question mark.

00:20:57.880 And the dispatcher replies, again, those are the orders we've been given per the chief of patrol.

00:21:04.100 All CB resources are to clear from the scene.

00:21:07.860 What a frightening scenario playing out in real time.

00:21:12.900 Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson's executive orders signed last year and this past August, prohibiting local law enforcement from assisting federal ICE agents.

00:21:25.580 Well, we saw this play out in real time over the weekend.

00:21:28.040 And as a result, the ICE agents' lives were in grave danger.

00:21:32.960 Let's listen to Mayor Brandon Johnson.

00:21:35.640 He has a different interpretation of what's going on.

00:21:38.360 The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War.

00:21:44.760 I just I want that to sit in right now because the president of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America.

00:21:54.920 That was Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago.

00:21:59.400 This is really extraordinary.

00:22:01.300 I would argue, and I'm not a lawyer, but I would argue that both Pritzker and Johnson have legal liability here.

00:22:09.160 They are interfering with federal agents in the exercise of their responsibilities and their duties.

00:22:14.900 What do you think, Mark?

00:22:16.620 There are.

00:22:17.160 And Roger, I've spoken to legal experts, both Republican and Democrats in Chicago and in Washington, D.C.

00:22:23.620 And they've all reached the same conclusions, that both Pritzker and Johnson have opened themselves to a massive legal battle as a result of their executive orders that resulted in a federal ICE officer's live being in grave danger.

00:22:41.720 There's two different implications.

00:22:43.500 There's several state statutes where both the governor and the mayor are in violation.

00:22:48.480 There are also federal issues, and all it takes is for Congress to call for a federal investigation or for the U.S. Justice Department to call for a federal investigation.

00:23:01.240 And it's right there in black and white, these blatant violations via executive orders that have left federal agents' lives in grave danger.

00:23:11.480 What I guess I don't understand is, where is this constituency for the actions of Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson?

00:23:22.980 Do they actually think that the voters of Chicago, the citizens of Chicago, feel safe in their neighborhoods, that there is no issue,

00:23:31.860 or that they think that illegals should stay in the country, taking jobs that would normally be given to Americans, soaking up social services that would normally be funding American taxpayers?

00:23:45.880 I don't recognize this Democrat Party.

00:23:49.920 The strategy is pretty simple in my mind, Roger.

00:23:52.740 It's trying to bring in more Democratic voters, because they've lost a lot of voters over the last five years who've fled to your state now, Florida, to Texas, to red states.

00:24:04.760 So they've lost a lot of voters, millions of voters over the last five years.

00:24:10.120 But this is a governor and mayor that have welcomed over 52,000 migrants, many of them dangerous with criminal records and criminal histories, with open arms. 0.98

00:24:21.460 And Chicago has catered to them.

00:24:24.040 They've spent $3.5 billion to make sure they have food, shelter, clothing, health care.

00:24:29.860 There's been a directive at the Chicago Public Schools that you must give migrant children all passing grades.

00:24:36.060 They've created a system where the migrants are victimized and the law-abiding citizens who are actually residents of this country, the greatest country on the planet, that they are the criminals.

00:24:47.380 But they don't have support.

00:24:48.980 Mayor Johnson has a 6% approval rating.

00:24:52.200 And what I've been told by Democratic operatives over the weekend in downtown Chicago who are collecting petition signatures to get Democratic candidates on the ballot, particularly in the black communities in the south and west side, that they're having trouble getting residents to sign the petitions for Democrats, that their party is imploding not only locally but nationally.

00:25:12.500 And this issue of supporting illegals over everyday residents is pushing the black and brown community over the edge.

00:25:19.940 Well, I'm kind of curious as to the impact in the Chicago suburbs.

00:25:25.780 Chicago, pardon me, Illinois, was always a swing state.

00:25:30.140 Republicans do extremely well downstate, solidly red, south Illinois.

00:25:35.040 Illinois, but then the Democrats always score big in the city of Chicago where the Cook County machine delivers a big vote.

00:25:42.820 And the suburbs, which used to lean Republican over time, became increasingly Democratic, changing Illinois from being a swing state to being a solidly blue state.

00:25:55.120 If the city itself is impacted by this, I think, crazy policy, the suburbs should also be impacting, meaning if Pritzker and Johnson are successful, they may be successful in putting Illinois in play in not only the upcoming midterm elections, but also in presidential elections.

00:26:21.420 That's a fantastic question.

00:26:51.420 And they're upset because the lawlessness in Chicago has found its way into the Chicagoland suburbs.

00:26:58.600 And so what I think what Pritzker and Johnson are doing collectively is to create even more widespread support for President Trump and his law and order message and policy of making American cities safe again, including Chicago.

00:27:14.040 And again, I think we're seeing that in some of these Democratic wards in downtown Chicago that refuse to sign petitions for local Democratic candidates.

00:27:23.940 People are fed up.

00:27:25.100 They're standing up. 1.00

00:27:26.500 And the more Pritzker and Johnson stand in front of a camera, the more foolish they look. 0.98

00:27:31.960 Evidently, Pritzker thinks that he can mount a presidential campaign on the basis of this issue. 0.96

00:27:39.640 I don't think that's going to work.

00:27:42.480 I'm just perplexed.

00:27:44.780 Politicians, generally speaking, are incredibly practical people.

00:27:49.020 What they believe in is getting elected and do whatever they need to do to get elected.

00:27:53.940 It's one of the sad things about our political system.

00:27:57.480 In this case, I just whether it is transgenderism or whether it is men playing in women's sports or whether it is support and funding for health care for illegals, I just don't see the constituency that they're seeking to capture. 0.71

00:28:14.460 I don't think those votes exist.

00:28:16.660 So I guess I guess what I think is that Pritzker and Johnson and boy, he's a piece of work.

00:28:23.060 If his IQ is one point lower, you'd have to water him like a plant.

00:28:27.680 As I pointed out to Marco, not that long ago, a month and a half ago, he said all of the problems of rising crime in the city of Chicago were the fault of Richard Dixon, who's been dead for over 40 years.

00:28:40.640 I'm still trying to figure out what he meant by that.

00:28:42.900 But I think they're going to get a realignment, but it's not the realignment they are looking for.

00:28:49.880 Mark, your reaction to the fact that in Oregon, a federal judge, Judge Immergut, has ruled that now yet again today, the president Donald Trump does not have the authority to send National Guard troops into Portland,

00:29:10.300 which is getting increasingly viral and increasingly dangerous.

00:29:15.580 Roger, I was in Baghdad 14 times as a civilian.

00:29:20.100 I know what a war zone looks like.

00:29:22.220 It's clear that Portland is a war zone and there is total chaos in the streets.

00:29:28.680 There's a statistic that caught my attention this year in Portland.

00:29:32.800 They've seen an 80 percent increase in kidnappings.

00:29:36.540 That's right.

00:29:37.000 80 percent increase in kidnappings just in this year alone.

00:29:40.800 But look no further than what happened just a couple of months ago in Portland, Roger, where you had Antifa.

00:29:47.400 And Portland, by the way, is known as the birthplace of Antifa.

00:29:51.300 You can look it up.

00:29:52.180 But Antifa terrorists use zip ties and plywood to try and trap ICE agents in a facility and then set it on fire in hopes that they burn alive.

00:30:04.560 It's well-documented, happened just a couple of months ago.

00:30:08.000 They were not arrested, but they were in possession of zip ties. 0.99

00:30:12.180 I can't think of anything more vile and violent than trying to burn federal ICE agents in a building, burn them alive. 0.84

00:30:21.260 And yet the Democratic mayor and the Democratic governor said there's no problem here. 0.91

00:30:25.480 What we've seen unfold over the last couple of days with Nick Sorter, independent journalist who was arrested.

00:30:31.740 We see the police cooperating with Antifa.

00:30:35.800 We see these Antifa terrorists terrorizing the street, terrorizing the community.

00:30:41.200 The locals are saying send in the National Guard. 0.92

00:30:44.500 But yet the Democrats say, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

00:30:49.780 Yeah, it's really extraordinary.

00:30:51.280 I watched a shocking video this weekend of a Trump supporter just randomly walking down the street being shot in the head by someone in Antifa.

00:31:01.520 I mean, it really, it kind of proves everything that you say.

00:31:05.600 I kind of, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this was all described by John Podesta in the so-called Podesta Plan.

00:31:14.960 And I think once they realized, when I say they, I mean those on the left, that they could not steal the last election.

00:31:22.500 Then they realized that they could not use judicial tyranny because one by one, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled these local judges who tried to stop the mandate that the American people voted for in the last election.

00:31:36.500 And now they are very clearly resorting to violence.

00:31:40.920 And I think this is planned.

00:31:43.280 I think it's coordinated.

00:31:45.300 I think it is, it is going to get worse before it gets better.

00:31:50.140 And I noticed that the president and other federal officials are increasingly using the word insurrection.

00:31:59.540 To me, that is a tip off that President Trump may, if things get bad enough, which is, I think, likely, he is going to, he's going to enact his authority under the Insurrection Act to take control and to put down this insurrection.

00:32:18.880 What do you think?

00:32:20.140 I think you're absolutely right.

00:32:22.420 Again, the fact that you've got Antifa trying to burn federal agents alive in a building using zip ties and plywood and trying to drill it into the walls, that is vile.

00:32:33.740 The fact that you've got the very dangerous rhetoric coming from Democrats about the ICE agents trying to rid community is very vicious and dangerous. 1.00

00:32:44.240 Migrants who are here illegally, sexual predators, murderers, rapists. 1.00

00:32:49.300 You've got Tim Waltz, the great Tim Waltz, the male, the female cheerleader calling it the modern day Gestapo. 1.00

00:32:56.540 You've got Robin Kelly calling it a betrayal.

00:32:59.920 Jasmine Crockett calling the ICE agents a slave patrol.

00:33:03.660 This type of rhetoric is what is putting ICE agents and National Guard members and everyday patriots, their lives in grave danger.

00:33:13.740 Yeah, it is, I think, a harbinger of, unfortunately, a harbinger for civil war, which is not what we wish for, but I think the American left, they cannot live with the fact that Donald Trump won the last election.

00:33:27.940 They cannot live with the fact that he carried every swing state.

00:33:31.600 They cannot live with the fact that he actually carried the popular vote, the first Republican in recent memory to do so.

00:33:38.000 And the American people have voted for wholesale change.

00:33:41.200 So now they will thwart that change.

00:33:44.260 All right.

00:33:44.780 We're talking to Mark Vargas with the Illinois Review.

00:33:48.540 And, well, we'll be right back.

00:33:50.040 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:53.920 He likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level.

00:34:35.620 We'd love to talk business.

00:34:41.900 The Stone Zone.

00:34:43.900 Entertaining and informative.

00:34:45.680 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:34:49.060 Concerns of the Mexicans and how are they adjusting to the new presidency of Donald Trump?

00:34:55.200 Well, that's a great question, Roger.

00:34:57.220 And one of the things that I learned very quickly in Mexico in meeting with various trade associations

00:35:03.120 is that they want to push back China as well because China's influence is trying to expand in Mexico.

00:35:10.420 So one of the things that we agree on is shrinking China's footprint.

00:35:15.900 They want to control the auto parts industry.

00:35:17.740 They want to control the pharmaceutical industry.

00:35:19.740 They want to control the cattle industry.

00:35:21.960 They want to control as much land as they possibly can.

00:35:24.800 But what's important coming up next year is the renegotiation of the USMCA 2.0.

00:35:32.780 And they're hoping that the President Trump's administration is willing to work with them and expand the manufacturing footprint in North America where we can find cheaper labor, skilled labor in Mexico and yet push away China. 0.70

00:35:51.020 That is our common enemy.

00:35:53.280 And so I think under President Trump's leadership, he's already made it clear that China is our enemy.

00:35:59.220 And I think that we're going to be in a good position to renegotiate the USMCA in a way that benefits North America and is a type of agreement where both Shanghai and Berlin lose and North America wins.

00:36:15.600 Yeah, that's a refreshing idea, a trade agreement where both trade partners benefit, which is certainly not been the case prior to Donald Trump becoming president.

00:36:25.280 All of the mainstream economists, all of them said that his insistence on renegotiating all of these tariff deals to be more beneficial to the United States was going to cause runaway inflation, outrageous spikes in unemployment, the crash of the stock market.

00:36:44.000 Of course, they've been wrong about all of it.

00:36:45.800 The month of June was the first time in 15 years that we've actually ran a surplus for the month, meaning the government took in more money than it paid out.

00:36:56.560 And the truth is that the president's economic policies, even without that, the full rate cut by the Federal Reserve, which I think the current level of unemployment and inflation merit his economic policies already incredibly successful in recharging the economy and a renegotiated agreement with Mexico.

00:37:19.040 The benefits both countries would only help that further.

00:37:22.840 I'm kind of curious.

00:37:25.380 We only got about a minute, two minutes, really.

00:37:27.960 What do the Mexicans think of Trump on a personal level?

00:37:32.280 Actually, Roger, this isn't covered enough.

00:37:34.560 And thanks to your show and your reach and your platform, I think we can get this out there.

00:37:39.560 Mexicans love President Donald Trump.

00:37:41.800 Why?

00:37:42.060 Because when he closed the southern border, what did that do on the Mexican side?

00:37:47.680 It caused the cartels to disperse.

00:37:50.660 So communities along the Mexican border on the Mexican side, they were being tormented and terrorized by cartels.

00:37:59.280 Their communities, their restaurants, their playgrounds, their streets were infiltrated by the cartels because of Joe Biden's open border policy.

00:38:09.380 But when President Trump closed that border, the cartel left.

00:38:13.880 And so they're relieved.

00:38:15.960 They feel safe again.

00:38:17.660 And so the thought there in Mexico, and I spent four days there, the thought regarding President Trump is they're grateful for his leadership and they're grateful that he's going after the cartels.

00:38:29.260 All right, I'm afraid we have to leave it there.

00:38:32.460 I want to urge you to go to the Illinois Review dot com, Illinois Review dot com.

00:38:37.080 And you can get all the latest on what's going on in Chicago, which seems to be ground zero of this leftist insurrection against ICE agents.

00:38:47.800 As they merely seek to carry out their responsibilities of deploying and executing the largest single deployment, pardon me, deportation of dangerous illegal criminals.

00:39:00.240 Mark, thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone and to our listeners until tomorrow.
