00:00:00.480 Did you know that St. Luke's University Health Network, based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania,
00:00:05.680 has been recognized by the U.S. government as the highest performing health system in the United
00:00:10.720 States for quality? You heard right. St. Luke's number one recognition affirms our status as the
00:00:16.400 top leader among the most respected healthcare providers in the nation, including Houston
00:00:21.200 Methodist and the Mayo Clinic. To state it simply, if you want to receive the best care when you go
00:00:26.480 Go to a hospital? Come to St. Luke's.
00:00:40.160 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:00:43.920 People love him and respect him. Roger Stone.
00:00:46.660 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.
00:00:50.620 Here's Roger Stone.
00:00:53.020 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:00:56.480 I want to start by thanking our many listeners who have contacted us to thank us for the
00:01:02.020 small role that we played in the presidential pardon last Friday of decorated New York Police
00:01:08.940 Department Detective Michael McMahon.
00:01:11.600 McMahon, a retired police officer who served the people of New York City with distinction
00:01:16.440 and honor, was unjustly charged by the Biden Justice Department because in his work as
00:01:22.900 a licensed private detective, he bumped into a massive communist Chinese spying operation
00:01:29.060 here in the United States. Rather than charging the Chinese nationals who were in this country
00:01:35.820 illegally and had embezzled millions of dollars in order to conceal the role of the communist
00:01:41.780 Chinese right here on American soil, they charged Michael McMahon with violation of the Foreign
00:01:49.340 Agents Registration Act, despite the fact that during his trial, he never produced any evidence
00:01:55.160 whatsoever that McMahon had been paid by any foreign entity. McMahon's wife, Martha Byrne,
00:02:01.700 better known as an Emmy-winning actress for her role in As the World Turns, Hospital, and a number
00:02:08.020 of other soap operas and dramas, came here in the Stone Zone to talk about that case, and evidently,
00:02:14.740 President Donald Trump heard that incredible interview.
00:02:19.660 So congratulations to Michael McMahon and his wife, Martha Byrne.
00:02:24.880 Justice has finally been served in this case.
00:02:27.580 I'm sure his three children are glad to have him back home.
00:02:31.380 And God bless President Donald Trump for doing the right thing
00:02:34.480 and securing justice in the case of this New York cop hero.
00:02:39.380 In the meantime, with the government shutdown now reaching over 40 days, it appears that we may be on the verge of a solution.
00:02:48.640 I'm in Washington, D.C. today where everybody is talking about the fact that a group of Democrat senators have reportedly broken ranks with Senator Chuck Schumer and are ready to join Republicans to reopen the federal government.
00:03:01.820 Yesterday, the U.S. Senate voted 60 to 40 to advance legislation that would finally end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
00:03:12.080 I believe there are six or seven U.S. senators now reportedly ready to vote with Republicans to reopen the government.
00:03:20.400 Schumer, of course, is angry about this, as is Bernie Sanders.
00:03:24.800 Bernie Sanders, interestingly enough, used to criticize billionaires and millionaires.
00:03:30.460 Now I noticed that he only criticizes billionaires. That's because Bernie Sanders and his wife became millionaires after skimming millions of dollars from his two presidential campaign in the form of media placement fees.
00:03:45.820 Now, that action is not illegal, but I would argue that it is unethical unless he informed his donors that he and his wife are going to materially profit from their campaign contributions. 0.99
00:03:58.600 Therefore, Bernie Sanders is a massive hypocrite. You see, he likes socialism for you, but not for Comrade Bernie. 0.98
00:04:05.960 Bernie Sanders said, if Democrats cave on this issue of a government closeout, what does it say to Donald Trump?
00:04:12.320 It gives him the green light to go forward towards authoritarianism.
00:04:16.200 And I think that would be a tragedy for this country.
00:04:18.820 See, this is the thing about Democrats, particularly leftist Democrats like Bernie Sanders.
00:04:24.140 They are always themselves doing exactly what they accuse us of.
00:04:27.740 These are the people who weaponized the Department of Justice against Donald Trump and his allies, like General Michael Flynn and, well, yours truly.
00:04:37.140 These are the people who decided to cancel and censor anyone on social media, whether it be Facebook, Instagram, then Twitter, or even YouTube,
00:04:47.220 if they supported Donald Trump or if they questioned the outcome of the 2020 election,
00:04:53.460 something every American has a First Amendment right to do.
00:04:57.740 Now, House Republicans will still need to sign on to the measure to reopen the government.
00:05:03.040 Then it will need to be signed on to by President Trump himself for the government to actually reopen.
00:05:08.180 Things could still go haywire in the process, but this Democrat revolt against Chuck Schumer's kamikaze tactics against the American people is a sign that not everyone in that party is completely anti-American or has lost their mind.
00:05:23.160 Meanwhile, some more good news. President Donald Trump issued a pardon today for former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Congressman Mark Meadows, Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer Tylan Bowler, Election Integrity Attorney John Eastman, and virtually every person who stepped up as an alternative elector after the 2020 presidential election to oppose the avalanche of fraud that I believe occurred in that effort to successfully install Joe Biden in the White House.
00:05:52.640 I've said this before in the Stone Zone, I will say it again, forming an alternative slate of electors within a given state when there is a dispute, potentially a legal battle over the outcome of the election in that state is not a crime.
00:06:09.700 In 1960, for example, when the results in Hawaii were in dispute, on election night it appeared that Vice President Richard Nixon had won Hawaii, but the campaign of later president, then-senator John F. Kennedy, disagreed.
00:06:27.360 Kennedy formed an alternative elector slate, insisting that once the absentee ballots had been counted in Hawaii, that he, Kennedy, would be the winner. Turned out to be right.
00:06:39.340 Now, if Kennedy's campaign had not formed that alternative elector slate to be seated in the Electoral College, he could not have won the votes from Hawaii.
00:06:49.220 Perfect example, although in the election of 1877, the election of Thomas Jefferson, there were multiple alternative elector slates.
00:06:57.820 This is a long piece of history.
00:06:59.820 It's only because of the actions of special counsel Jack Smith and the group over there at MSNBC and CNN that the impression got created that this was somehow a crime.
00:07:12.940 So when pro-Trump patriots put up their slates of alternative electors, assuming that there would be a legal challenge within the state to the state's election results based on ongoing election fraud investigations, they were merely preserving their legal rights.
00:07:30.060 Years later, after Democrats decided to repaint this as some kind of green conspiracy, this was recast by Jack Smith, the special counsel, and by the media as an attempt to, quote unquote, steal the election.
00:07:42.860 Dozens of patriots had their lives upended.
00:07:45.820 The Gateway Pundit even helped convene a grassroots telethon-style fundraiser to help awareness for their cause.
00:07:51.680 I think that was about two years ago, raising about $100,000.
00:07:55.240 Many of the patriots in their 60s and 70s would have to spend their final days in prison if they were actually convicted.
00:08:01.900 Now, there is a catch here, and it's an important one.
00:08:05.560 The president, of course, does not have the authority to pardon someone who is charged with a state crime.
00:08:13.060 So these pardons are largely symbolic.
00:08:16.460 They can be used in court should these alternative electors slate questions ever get to the state courts.
00:08:24.760 But such a prosecution in Georgia fell apart.
00:08:28.620 Hopefully, the states will dismiss these charges.
00:08:32.420 Nevada is another example of a place where, frankly, those who formed an alternative elector
00:08:38.680 slate because of their concern with the actual election results and the integrity of those
00:08:44.520 results on election night still face the possibility of jail or heavy fines.
00:08:50.540 Governor Joe Lombardo, a Republican, could pardon all of those charged, but so far he has not done
00:08:57.620 so. We'll be watching this very closely, but in the meantime, God bless President Donald Trump for
00:09:02.640 doing the right thing and helping at least clear the name of many of those who did an important
00:09:08.260 service by standing up for election integrity. We'll be following this question most closely
00:09:14.300 here in the Stone Zone. Meanwhile, President Trump is being ridiculed by saying that he's prepared to
00:09:20.880 pay a $2,000 tariff dividend to every American taxpayer. President Trump is placed to give $2,000
00:09:28.120 in this dividend so that Americans can share the wealth that has been amassed because of his
00:09:33.740 incredibly successful trade policies. President Trump said, people that are against tariffs are
00:09:38.800 fools. We are now the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation 0.98
00:09:44.460 and a record stock market price. 401ks are higher than ever. We're taking in trillions of dollars
00:09:51.680 and will soon begin paying down our enormous debt, which has surged to $37 trillion. There
00:09:58.880 has been record investment in the United States. Plants and factories are going up all over the
00:10:03.340 place, a dividend being paid to each person of at least $2,000, which would not include high-income
00:10:10.100 people, could be paid to everyone. Now, elites are ridiculing this idea, but folks I talk to in the
00:10:16.500 street think it's a great idea. How about that? Instead of you paying the government, the government
00:10:21.960 paying you. I kind of like this idea. This comes after 40 days of a government shutdown that has
00:10:27.920 shown signs of ending as Democrats are beginning to rebel against the party leadership to come to
00:10:33.980 terms with Republicans and get our government open again. President Trump's policy will help
00:10:38.940 Americans come to support tariffs, which are the key to restoring lasting prosperity. All the way
00:10:45.380 back in 1988, when I first urged President Trump to consider a serious bid for the presidency,
00:10:51.320 he always argued that our trade policies were inequitable, meaning that they were beneficial
00:10:58.180 to our trade partners, but they were rarely beneficial to the United States. Tariffs have
00:11:03.640 come under fire not only from Democrats, but also from some free market Republicans who have argued
00:11:09.020 that tariffs are a tax and should not be imposed. But the free market ideologues are missing the
00:11:14.320 forest for the trees, in my opinion. They ignore the fact that the country has been sold out to
00:11:18.860 foreign interests and ravaged by these one-sided trade policies literally for generations. This
00:11:24.520 cannot be undone with slavish devotion to the crooked, rigged marketplace. President Trump's
00:11:30.100 tariffs are dropping a nuclear bomb on the globalist trade status quo, reclaiming our
00:11:36.160 independence from China, and the dividend from the successful tariff policies are about to make
00:11:41.580 Americans about $2,000 apiece richer. I say send those checks. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy
00:11:49.500 Hochul is attempting to prevent a plan by New York City's Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdami to offer
00:11:55.440 free bus rides to city residents in the name of equality. Governor Hochul said, I cannot set forth
00:12:01.440 a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of buses and subways.
00:12:06.860 But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course, we can. Of course, she hasn't been very specific about that. So even though Governor Hochul endorsed Mamdami, it's not surprising that she would push back against some of his more radical policies that are destined to backfire spectacularly.
00:12:24.840 The egomaniacal far-left dialogue is not expected to take this particular challenge lying down. 0.74
00:12:31.460 He could cause serious problems for Governor Hochul among her base heading into an election season
00:12:36.280 if she doesn't acquiesce to his socialist agenda.
00:12:39.860 Mandami is not just another Democrat Party hack.
00:12:43.420 He's a member of the Democrat Socialists of America who have been steeped in the politics of division,
00:12:49.240 believed that the ends justify the means and would not hesitate, if necessary, to end the
00:12:55.440 unpopular political career of Governor Hochul if he believes a more radical successor could come in
00:13:01.720 in the wake of her destruction. Hochul here, in my opinion, is between a rock and a hard place
00:13:07.000 as she effaces a hard-charging Republican contender, Elise Stefanik, in next year's 1.00
00:13:12.980 gubernatory election. The latest college poll that I saw, Emerson college poll, showed that
00:13:19.540 Elise Stefanik only trailed Governor Hochul in the overwhelmingly blue state of New York by five
00:13:25.400 points. Hochul has nobody to blame for herself, and her political demise may be imminent because 1.00
00:13:30.180 of her poor decisions in coalescing behind this Islamic scourge, Mayor Mondami. I'm Roger Stone, 0.99
00:13:36.920 You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.
00:13:40.400 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:14:04.620 This is The Stone Zone.
00:14:06.920 with roger stone they went after a guy named roger stone who's sitting in the office and i'll say
00:14:12.500 this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place
00:14:17.480 now they treated him very unfairly now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:14:26.300 welcome back to the stone zone i'm roger stone new york city mayor elect
00:14:34.380 Zoran Mandami has not been sworn into office yet. The city's already going off the rails.
00:14:40.460 Throughout his campaign, the New York City Police Department was atrophying at a rate of 350
00:14:46.340 personnel per month. That number will now go up exponentially as Mandami comes into power 1.00
00:14:52.400 and begins to further hamstring law enforcement and blame them for stopping crime.
00:14:58.680 Mamdami is not concerned, as he knows this will actually give an excuse to enact his actual defund the police agenda.
00:15:05.940 It's interesting that during the campaign, Mamdami tried to back off his many, many, many public statements in which he said that he favored defunding the police.
00:15:15.820 But Elon Musk, who now owns X, formerly known as Twitter, actually pulled together all of those posts and posted them in the closing days of the election.
00:15:26.320 And Domi said, I'm not worried about the backlash. What I'm worried about, frankly, is the continuation of a retention crisis that we only see deepening during the course of this campaign.
00:15:37.100 And a lot of that has to do with the fact that we've asked police officers for far too long to do much more than just police work.
00:15:43.400 We ask them to be responding to the mental health crisis and the homelessness crisis, and that's why we're going to create a Department of Community Safety that will be tasked with accomplishing those facts and allowing police officers to be police officers yet again.
00:15:58.680 What Madami really is saying here is that he will enact the Black Lives Matter dream policy of replacing law enforcement officers with social workers, meaning that left-wing activists who believe that criminals should be coddled will be hired in place of actual law enforcement officers. 0.53
00:16:18.500 Expect more people who, like the heroic Daniel Penny,
00:16:22.920 have to stand up and fight for the innocent themselves to be charged
00:16:26.140 and have the book thrown at them in these instances.
00:16:29.560 Meanwhile, career violent felons will be let out of jail without bail,
00:16:33.660 and they won't even have police to deal with when they're out there committing more crimes.
00:16:38.880 This is the recipe for disaster that I have predicted for New York City.
00:16:43.380 The city is in a world of hurt.
00:16:45.580 Elections have consequences, and these consequences may be the most dire we've ever seen, perhaps, in our nation's history. 0.51
00:16:53.560 I know a lot of younger voters voted for hope and change, and they bought the idea that Mamdami was some grassroots Robin Hood
00:17:03.440 who had risen from a citizen-oriented, citizen-fueled campaign to take on the special interests and the dark money.
00:17:14.340 But as my friend Sam Antar over at WhiteCollarFraud.com has proved, Mamdami was actually elected by a complicated series of non-profits, 501c3s, 501c4s, charitable organizations, and political parties acting illegally in concert to pour billions of dollars of foreign money into Mamdami's campaign.
00:17:39.240 I'm Roger Stone. We're talking about the consequences of New York City's most recent election for mayor.
00:17:45.440 One more piece of good news I want to mention.
00:17:48.700 Again, overwhelming response from our Stone Zone listeners.
00:17:53.660 Roughly a month and a half ago, my two Yorkshire Terriers, Mimi and Peewee, were poisoned, purposely poisoned by some perpetrator, and both struggled for life.
00:18:05.940 Only Mrs. Stone's very quick action brought them very quickly to the veterinary hospital.
00:18:11.520 While Mimi had a complete and total recovery, Pee Wee has struggled.
00:18:15.800 On Friday, we got back the first perfect blood test from the veterinary hospital,
00:18:20.800 and Pee Wee 2.0, our beloved Yorkshire Terrier, is back to full health.
00:18:25.620 God bless you and the many listeners who prayed with us for that result.
00:18:35.940 this is the stone zone with roger stone they went after a guy named roger stone who's sitting
00:18:45.420 in the office and i'll say this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner
00:18:49.840 than anybody in this place now they treated him very unfairly now get in the zone it's the stone
00:18:57.720 Zone. Here's Roger Stone. And we're back in the Stone Zone. I'm Roger Stone. I met with Treasury
00:19:08.880 Secretary Scott Bessent this morning. Scott Bessent, in my view, may be among President
00:19:14.180 Donald Trump's very best appointees. He is a free thinker, a libertarian, a strong supporter
00:19:20.960 of cryptocurrency, and a believer in gold. I think in his heart of hearts, Secretary Bessent
00:19:27.180 would probably like to repeal the federal income tax law of 1913. Probably like to do away with
00:19:33.500 the Federal Reserve as well, although he didn't say either one. I've read a great deal about what
00:19:39.080 he said. Last weekend was kind of amazing. He actually schooled the Democrat hack, George
00:19:45.980 Stephanopoulos. Remember him. He came out of Bill Clinton's campaign, but he now poses as a
00:19:52.480 journalist at ABC's This Week show, but Besant actually schooled him over his grotesque partisan
00:20:00.380 hypocrisy regarding the current government shutdown. In the interview, Besant made it clear
00:20:06.300 that Democrats are responsible for the slowing of economic growth that was previously roaring due
00:20:13.040 to President Trump's low tax and tariff policies. He gave straight talk answers to Stephanopoulos
00:20:20.780 on the state of affairs.
00:20:23.100 Besson said,
00:20:24.300 we've seen an impact on the economy from day one,
00:20:27.100 but it's getting worse and worse.
00:20:29.620 We've had fantastic economy under President Trump
00:20:32.280 the last two quarters,
00:20:33.620 and now there are estimates
00:20:34.980 that economic growth this quarter
00:20:37.000 could be cut by as much as half
00:20:39.440 if this shutdown continues.
00:20:42.100 There is, of course, the human cost.
00:20:44.180 What we're going to have,
00:20:45.420 the biggest travel day of the year,
00:20:46.840 that day after Thanksgiving,
00:20:48.800 we could end up with shortages.
00:20:50.140 whether it is our supply side chain or whether it is for the holidays.
00:20:54.980 So cargo and people are both going to be slowed down here.
00:20:59.460 You were involved in a lot of these kind of tactics in the 90s,
00:21:03.060 Besant told the former senior advisor to then President Bill Clinton,
00:21:08.140 then pointing out to Stephanopoulos' own previous statements
00:21:12.040 accusing the Republican Party of terrorism and creating a hostage crisis
00:21:17.020 during the government shutdown of 1995.
00:21:21.440 Stephanopoulos also amplified his rhetoric in his own memoir
00:21:25.000 when he wrote his book, All Too Human.
00:21:28.460 After Stephanopoulos asked about President Trump's calls to end the filibuster
00:21:32.820 and questioned if that was the best way to end the shutdown,
00:21:36.540 Besson pointed out that the power is in the Democrats' hands.
00:21:40.640 Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besson said,
00:21:42.840 you were involved in a lot of these very tactics in the 90s,
00:21:46.000 noting that Stephanopoulos had accused the Republican Party of terrorism.
00:21:50.400 Once again, Stephanopoulos suddenly wanted to change the subject.
00:21:54.660 It's not surprising.
00:21:56.160 Besson's exchange with George Stephanopoulos was a master class
00:22:00.420 on how to politely and smoothly disembowel a fake news hack pretending to be a journalist.
00:22:06.720 I really believe Scott Besson is among President Trump's most effective cabinet appointees.
00:22:13.180 Meanwhile, weeks after FBI Director Cash Patel announced that there was a widespread sports betting scandal with NBA players and coaches allegedly fixing games, two major league baseball pitchers have been indicted on similar charges.
00:22:31.820 Pitchers Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Klaas, both of the Cleveland Guardians, formerly known as the Indians,
00:22:39.740 have been accused of illegally conspiring with sports bettors to throw pitches so the bettors can make money on unlawful wagers.
00:22:48.480 These sorts of bets, called prop bets, allow gamblers to wager on different occurrences within a game.
00:22:56.240 In this case, the bettors were allegedly betting on whether a pitcher would throw a ball or a strike.
00:23:01.160 Because Ortiz and Klase deliberately threw balls, according to the allegations,
00:23:06.880 bettors were able to make wagers and cash out because of their agreements with the pitchers.
00:23:12.320 The whole thing is incredibly corrupt.
00:23:15.200 This goes to show that woke sports leagues can be rigged.
00:23:19.380 You can't trust anything you see from these athletics today.
00:23:22.720 Gone are the days of greats like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. 1.00
00:23:26.560 Now we have people from the third world who are taking payoffs left and right, 1.00
00:23:30.680 despite the fact that they're making multi-million dollars per year as professional players. 1.00
00:23:36.980 Where is the professional pride?
00:23:39.080 Where is the respect and loyalty of the fan base who want to see you win for their city or their franchise?
00:23:46.000 It just doesn't exist.
00:23:47.680 It was wiped away as America's culture has disintegrated.
00:23:51.540 Now, sport leagues are mostly just bread and circuses for the masses
00:23:55.020 to be distracted as globalism takes further hold of our lives.
00:24:00.000 A rare exception is the UFC, which allows their fighters to speak freely and hosts President Trump and honors him on broadcasts.
00:24:09.900 The NFL actually had President Trump speak at a game he attended during yesterday's broadcast,
00:24:15.000 so perhaps the sports culture is moving back to normalcy, but not so fast.
00:24:21.200 If you're just tuning in, we're in the Stone Zone, and our political coverage continues.
00:24:26.220 The British broadcasting company Director General Tim Davey and their news chief Deborah Ternis have both been forced to resign after the state-run news agency was exposed for editing footage of President Donald Trump to make it look as if he was ordering an insurrection on January 6th, deliberately omitting footage that showed President Trump telling his supporters to protest peacefully against election fraud.
00:24:54.580 The BBC documentary aired shortly prior to last year's election, showing a clip from President Trump completely out of context.
00:25:04.500 Whistleblower Michael Prescott, who formerly was the BBC's editorial guidelines and standards advisor,
00:25:12.200 exposed the BBC's having doctored a clip by splicing together different parts of President Trump's speech that day.
00:25:20.260 He was appalled and refused to be silent. The BBC internal staff also voiced concerns about the dishonesty of the editing, but they were ultimately overruled and ignored.
00:25:32.380 So these two BBC hacks are nothing more than sacrificial lambs. State-run agencies in the business of propaganda. They were just desperate, got sloppy, and well, they got caught.
00:25:45.940 They'll be back in the business of manufacturing the news again tomorrow, unfortunately.
00:25:50.840 Even though it's a British agency, their reach is, of course, worldwide.
00:25:55.100 When I last visited London to address the Oxford School of Politics,
00:25:59.300 I had a rambunctious interview with the BBC talking head.
00:26:05.800 And although I think I routed him when he accused me of Russian collusion,
00:26:09.900 frankly, I have turned down every request to appear on BBC since that time,
00:26:14.880 despite their worldwide reach. Why? Because they are fake news. They are guilty of everything that
00:26:21.720 the Russians are accused of doing. President Trump should consider sanctions as a result of
00:26:26.740 this disgusting outrage by the British. Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth,
00:26:33.920 announced earlier this year that the U.S. military, under his stewardship, would achieve drone domain
00:26:41.000 dominance by 2027. And now it appears that he's moving diligently towards that goal.
00:26:48.440 The U.S. Army reported focusing on securing one million drones over the next few years as the
00:26:55.560 military becomes increasingly modernized with technology and artificial intelligence.
00:27:01.960 Previously, the U.S. military had been increasing their stock of drones at the rate of about 50,000 0.70
00:27:08.180 per year, but they will be increasing it as the U.S. sends a powerful message to both the Russians
00:27:14.220 and the Chinese. Secretary Hegseth said, we're not just buying something, we're solving
00:27:21.300 life and death problems for our war fighters. We're not building for peacetime, we're pivoting
00:27:26.820 the Pentagon and our industrial base for a wartime footing, building for victories should our
00:27:34.140 adversaries challenge us. He actually used the acronym FAFO, which means, well, for purposes of
00:27:44.820 this family-oriented radio show, mess around and find out. The drone acquisition is a natural
00:27:51.960 outgrowth of the DOGE project by Elon Musk to modernize government, make it more efficient.
00:27:59.560 These drones could easily be used in a myriad of ways to keep servicemen and women out of harm's way in combat zones and save thousands of lives of our soldiers.
00:28:10.480 No doubt the Trump administration has the most noble of attentions for these drones, but they should fall into the wrong hands and be used against the people by a Democrat administration.
00:28:20.360 That could be Orwellian and, well, catastrophic.
00:28:23.300 The people should exercise their Second Amendment rights and perhaps amass some drones of their own just in case that worst-case scenario should come to pass.
00:28:33.600 We pray for peace, but we must prepare for war. 0.83
00:28:37.800 Meanwhile, President Trump will host the Syrian president at the White House.
00:28:42.480 That was today, actually.
00:28:43.860 President Donald Trump hosted the Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharah, at the White House today,
00:28:49.840 which marks the first time a leader from Syria will be traveling to the White House.
00:28:54.440 Six months ago, the United States and the United Nations lifted sanctions related to terrorism on the Syrian leader.
00:29:02.280 Shara has been Syrian leader since December of 2024, after the longtime Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad was deposed.
00:29:13.200 Sharao was the leader of Hayat Tareil al-Sham, which began as the al-Nusra Front, an affiliate of al-Qaeda.
00:29:22.860 Now, the group was named as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 2018,
00:29:29.420 but that was removed last year as Sharao has gained credibility and at least is pretending that he's willing to play ball with the West.
00:29:37.940 Frankly, I have deep concerns about this because I think Christians are still being targeted and slaughtered in Syria.
00:29:45.660 And I pray that something good will come of this meeting with the president.
00:29:50.300 The president noted that Shara is a tough guy in a tough neighborhood, but he's praying, I think, that the alliance could be an opportunity for trade and prosperity. 0.96
00:30:00.700 And perhaps the Syrians could be persuaded to abandon their evil ways. 0.81
00:30:06.100 Syria was previously an ally of Russia and Iran. Under the new regime, the country could become 1.00
00:30:12.880 an economic and national security ally of President Trump. President Trump talked the
00:30:18.280 Taliban and he hosted a summit with Kim Jong-un of North Korea, so it's not surprising that he
00:30:25.320 would want to create strong diplomatic ties and try to bring peace to the region by reaching out
00:30:31.420 to the Syrians. It is a gamble. And once again, I'm concerned about the slaughter of Christians,
00:30:37.700 but the pre-Trump foreign policy of belligerence and alienation failed miserably under Joe Biden
00:30:44.400 before that Barack Obama. Of course, President Trump will keep an eye on these folks considering
00:30:49.840 their past. He has got to make sure that they have actually changed their ways. Otherwise,
00:30:54.900 sanctions will return and the people of Syria will be empowered to remove him as they did Assad.
00:31:02.520 Last Friday brought news that former CIA Director John Brennan was among those who had been subpoenaed
00:31:09.600 by a Southern District of Florida grand jury investigating the Russian collusion hoax.
00:31:16.960 It's about time. But wait, folks, there's more at play here for Mr. Brennan than meets the eye.
00:31:22.760 There comes a time in the life of any government when its citizens must rise up and demand that corruption be accounted for and there be a cleansing of a decayed system, which must now be implemented.
00:31:36.020 Such is the time in 2025 under Donald Trump 2.0.
00:31:40.040 This is an effort that cannot come at the hands of any politician with compromised strings.
00:31:46.620 It must come from the grassroots.
00:31:48.860 an anti-establishment threat, such as Donald Trump is the perfect man to bring justice.
00:31:54.600 One such patriot I can think of is Ian Trottier.
00:31:57.960 We've had him here in the Stone Zone.
00:32:00.380 He has a popular Miami podcast, but he's written a terrific book,
00:32:04.960 High Stakes Treason, How John Brennan Compromised American Security for Millions of Dollars.
00:32:12.040 This is a shocking revelation revealing treasonous activity within the swamp of Barack Obama.
00:32:19.940 You can find it at highstakestreason.com.
00:32:22.740 It's a terrific book and it contains compelling evidence of alarming allegations
00:32:27.440 that former Barack Obama National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
00:32:33.920 and then CIA Director John Brennan intentionally compromised American security.
00:32:38.780 One such scenario reported alleges that Brennan had full knowledge of the whereabouts of the Boston Marathon terrorists prior to that attack on April 15th of 2013, and he financially benefited from sequestering that vital national security intelligence for his personal financial benefit.
00:32:58.960 Now, John Brennan is, of course, an admitted communist. He's also the man who got caught red-handed spying on a U.S. Senate committee that was investigating his illegal use of torture as the CIA director.
00:33:15.440 He is also the man who signed visas for four of the hijackers who the government tells us attacked America on 9-11.
00:33:24.320 him. So no, I have no qualms about this. It is time for John Brennan, who I believe is the key
00:33:30.280 orchestrator of the Russian collusion hoax to be brought to justice by a Florida grand jury.
00:33:37.200 You're listening to The Stone Zone. I'm Roger Stone. Whatever you do,
00:33:40.780 don't touch that dial because we'll be right back. This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:33:54.320 I'm not just stepping stone.
00:34:08.940 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:34:12.600 They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.
00:34:16.360 And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.
00:34:18.760 And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.
00:34:21.680 Now, as they treated him very unfairly.
00:34:24.900 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone.
00:34:28.820 Here's Roger Stone.
00:34:32.720 With the Democrats having just swept three off-year elections in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey,
00:34:39.740 I think it's time to take another look at the role of Google,
00:34:42.700 and to a lesser extent, other tech companies and social media platforms are playing in our elections.
00:34:48.700 I've been following the work of Dr. Robert Epstein. He's been shouting about this issue since 2015 when he published an article in Politico called How Google Could Rig the 2016 Election.
00:35:00.580 Over the years, Dr. Epstein has fleshed out this message in many articles and interviews. We've had him right here in the Stone Zone.
00:35:08.220 He actually even testified twice before Congress about it, notably once before a committee chaired by Democrat Amy Klobuchar and once before a committee chaired by Republican Ted Cruz.
00:35:19.740 Dr. Epstein has explained that rigorous control research conducted by him and his research team, all published in prestigious peer-reviewed scientific journals, shows that Google alone can shift between 20 and 80 percent of undecided voters towards one candidate without the people's awareness.
00:35:40.140 So in a national election, they can easily shift 10 to 12 million votes or more to their favorite candidate, who is usually left-leaning.
00:35:50.520 Beginning in 2016, Dr. Epstein's team developed the world's first nationwide system for preserved and rapidly analyzing this personalized ephemeral content of big tech companies that they can use to manipulate elections, indoctrinate children, and undermine human autonomy, content that is stored nowhere that is normally lost forever.
00:36:13.740 But Dr. Epstein and his team have figured out how to capture it.
00:36:17.920 The system became fully operational in 2023, and it currently sends data 24 hours a day from computers of a political balance group of more than 17,000 registered voters in all 50 states, with, I might note, the permission of those voters.
00:36:34.860 So you can view this data by going to americasdigitalshield.com.
00:36:40.960 This is fascinating. The monitoring system is telling us right now in real time that Google is up to its usual tricks, meaning boosting liberal content and suppressing conservative content, among other things.
00:36:53.320 But this time there's a twist. You've probably heard the phrase false flag operations, but you may not know where it started.
00:37:02.340 Starting in the 1500s in Mediterranean waters, while approaching their victims,
00:37:06.900 clever pirates hoisted the national flag of the ship they were about to attack.
00:37:11.640 By posing as friendlies, they put their victims off guard, easily overcoming them.
00:37:17.760 This is exactly what Google executives have been doing to President Trump in recent months.
00:37:21.980 They've been cozying up to him while setting him up, in my opinion, for a slaughter.
00:37:27.600 Whether you love him or whether you hate him,
00:37:29.360 everyone knows that Donald Trump is a lover of flattery,
00:37:32.840 and if you throw money in his direction, all the better.
00:37:36.160 But the president needs to beware.
00:37:37.840 A few weeks before the 2024 election,
00:37:40.820 Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, called up President Trump to wish him well,
00:37:46.200 and after Google's win, the company donated $1 million towards Trump's inauguration,
00:37:51.520 which earned the executive a front row seat at that inauguration.
00:37:56.040 Other big tech companies followed this lead.
00:37:59.840 But at a small dinner at the White House this last year, the president thanked Pashar for letting Google off so easily.
00:38:06.680 Now, as I wanted to point out, an examination of Google's actual activities demonstrates that in the days before the 2024 election,
00:38:17.500 Google sent up to 50 percent more go vote reminders to Democrats than Republicans on its phone page,
00:38:24.680 which is seen by more than 500 million people per day.
00:38:29.780 When Dr. Epstein and his team went public with that, Google stopped.
00:38:34.180 And for that moment, up until Election Day,
00:38:36.780 Google sent roughly the same number of vote reminders to voters of both parties.
00:38:41.880 That's what I mean when I say this has been extraordinarily effective.
00:38:45.060 When it comes to the next election, we need to keep an eye on big tech and on these social media platforms.
00:38:52.420 That's it for today.
00:38:53.700 I'm Roger Stone.
00:38:54.700 Thanks for joining us in here in the Stone Zone, where we talk about news, politics, history, and, dare I say it, culture.
00:39:02.720 Until tomorrow, God bless you and God bless you.
