The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 11-11-25

00:00:00.460 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative. On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:07.680 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:11.240 There are occasions on the American calendar that demand reverence rather than routine.

00:00:17.380 Today, Veterans Day, is one of them.

00:00:20.200 It's not a day of mere sentiment.

00:00:22.380 It is a civic duty to acknowledge the men and women

00:00:26.000 who stood in the breach for the survival of the United States of America.

00:00:31.300 My father, Roger J. Stone Sr., proudly served in the U.S. Army but never actually saw combat.

00:00:38.660 But my uncle, Leroy Corbo, served in action in the Korean conflict

00:00:43.480 and was actually pictured on the cover of Life magazine,

00:00:47.140 something our entire family was most proud of.

00:00:50.320 Veterans Day began as Armistice Day,

00:00:52.900 the First World War, that terrible cataclysm of the 20th century, 0.83

00:00:57.460 ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

00:01:03.380 One year later, on November 11, 1919,

00:01:07.500 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first national commemoration

00:01:11.880 which continues to commemorate America's military veteran service to this very day.

00:01:17.500 In 1938, Congress made Armistice Day an official holiday dedicated to peace.

00:01:25.000 After the Second World War and the Korean conflict,

00:01:28.460 the holiday became known as Veterans Day in 1954

00:01:32.040 with a nod to Armistice Day's original date.

00:01:36.700 Its purpose was expanded to honor all who served

00:01:39.720 rather only than those who had fought in a war.

00:01:43.260 I think this was a wise and noble change.

00:01:45.880 It recognizes that the defense of the Republic is a continuous calling.

00:01:51.340 Today, there are approximately 16 million veterans in the United States.

00:01:56.360 Each one represents a chapter in the story of American strength.

00:02:00.980 Some served on aircraft carriers in the Pacific.

00:02:04.080 Others patrolled the snows of Korea.

00:02:06.880 Many marched through the jungles of Vietnam.

00:02:08.880 Still others stood posts in Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan,

00:02:14.100 and countless unnamed stations across the globe.

00:02:17.800 Their service forms a living chain stretching from Lexington and Concord

00:02:22.920 to this very present hour.

00:02:25.760 A remarkable number of our presidents have worn the uniform.

00:02:29.420 George Washington, of course, led the Continental Army.

00:02:32.720 Andrew Jackson fought both the British and their tribal allies.

00:02:36.640 Ulysses S. Grant crushed the Confederacy and preserved the Union.

00:02:42.280 John F. Kennedy commanded PT-109 in the Pacific, was a true war hero.

00:02:48.480 Of course, General Dwight D. Eisenhower led the armies that broke the Nazi and Japanese war machine.

00:02:55.240 And George H.W. Bush flew combat missions in the Pacific as a mere teenager.

00:03:01.160 Service in uniform does not guarantee greatness.

00:03:05.200 But it often forges the clarity, discipline, and steel that leadership does require.

00:03:11.520 Approximately two-thirds of all American presidents were veterans.

00:03:15.700 This is not an accident.

00:03:17.840 The stewardship of a nation is best entrusted to those who have already proven 1.00

00:03:22.020 they will bleed for it and that they will serve.

00:03:25.640 There's something else unique about our veterans.

00:03:27.900 Since 1973, the United States has had 100% voluntary military.

00:03:33.940 It was President Richard Nixon, who ended the military draft.

00:03:38.000 No draft, no conscription, no coercion.

00:03:41.260 Every soldier, every sailor, every marine, every airman, and every guardian raised a hand

00:03:46.680 and swore that sacred oath of their own free will.

00:03:50.200 The most powerful fighting force in human history is today composed entirely of men and women who chose to serve.

00:03:58.960 This is patriotism made real.

00:04:01.600 This is devotion to the Republic of the United States of America, not as an abstraction,

00:04:07.020 but as a sacred obligation accepted freely, willingly, and unreservedly.

00:04:12.360 On this Veterans Day, President Donald Trump is honoring America's warriors in a manner that reflects not only his gratitude,

00:04:20.640 but also his long-term bond with them.

00:04:24.080 Throughout his presidency, he has strengthened the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after decades of bureaucratic neglect.

00:04:32.140 He signed the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act

00:04:36.140 so that corrupt or incompetent officials could be removed rather than just shielded.

00:04:41.180 He expanded veterans' access to private medical care when the VA could not provide it.

00:04:47.400 He secured the largest military pay raise in years,

00:04:50.680 and he rebuilt the strength of America's forces from the exhaustion of endless wars.

00:04:56.460 Even out of office, he remained a consistent advocate for veterans,

00:05:00.660 attending ceremonies, visiting wounded service members,

00:05:04.500 highlighting military families,

00:05:06.180 and insisting that the nation must never abandon its warriors after they return home.

00:05:12.540 President Trump is loved by the military because he's always loved them first.

00:05:17.400 Not with slogans, not with platitudes, but with his deeds, with his resources, with his respect.

00:05:24.200 He listened to the enlisted as well as the generals.

00:05:26.700 He recognized that a nation cannot be free if its defenders are ignored, underpaid, or mistreated.

00:05:34.640 The rank and file, of course, know this.

00:05:37.060 They know who fights for them, and they know who uses them as a political decoration.

00:05:42.060 The bond between President Trump and America's veterans is very real, enduring, and deeply felt.

00:05:48.060 In fact, in November 1995, when Donald Trump was a real estate developer in New York,

00:05:53.020 and long before his political career, he donated the first $200,000 to a parade

00:05:59.680 to commemorate those who were returning from Iraq.

00:06:03.620 Some sources put his total involvement, including helping raise additional funds,

00:06:08.780 in somewhere between $300,000 and $375,000 of his own money.

00:06:14.340 Now, the total cost of the parade that year was reported to be more than $2 million.

00:06:18.980 Parade organizers say that Trump's donation actually jump-started the fundraising effort

00:06:25.780 when corporate contributions were coming in very slowly.

00:06:29.840 Trump was honored to serve as the parade's grand marshal.

00:06:33.960 Some news reports say he received that honor following his donation,

00:06:37.740 but I think he received that honor because he deserved it.

00:06:41.020 He was the spark plug that made this parade work.

00:06:44.000 Veterans Day matters because a republic that forgets its defenders

00:06:47.680 will not remain a republic for very long.

00:06:51.060 Our freedoms did not descend from the clouds like gentle rain.

00:06:55.220 They are earned by sacrifice, discipline, risk, and courage.

00:06:59.980 Veterans understand that freedom has a price.

00:07:02.700 Most civilians only enjoy the receipt.

00:07:05.180 So on this Veterans Day,

00:07:06.740 I ask Americans to do more than just post a phrase on social media.

00:07:11.860 Speak to a veteran.

00:07:13.320 Thank them directly for your freedom.

00:07:15.600 Thank them for their service.

00:07:16.900 Remember those who never came home.

00:07:19.280 And teach our children that liberty survives only because strong souls.

00:07:26.380 On this Veterans Day,

00:07:28.100 I ask Americans to do more than post a phrase on social media.

00:07:32.400 Please speak to a veteran.

00:07:34.520 Thank them directly for your freedom and for their service.

00:07:38.440 Remember those who never came home.

00:07:40.340 Teach our children that liberty survives only because strong souls have shielded it.

00:07:46.900 The men and women who served did this without promise of reward or guarantee of safety.

00:07:52.540 They stepped forward when others stood back.

00:07:55.340 They did not ask whether America was perfect.

00:07:58.500 They asked how they could defend her.

00:08:00.500 This is the highest form of citizenship.

00:08:03.180 May God bless our veterans.

00:08:05.200 May God bless those who currently serve our nation.

00:08:08.260 May God bless President Donald J. Trump.

00:08:10.700 And may God bless the United States of America.

00:08:13.780 If you're just tuning in, you're in the Stone Zone, and I'm Roger Stone.

00:08:20.120 Well, a federal appeals court has ruled that an Ohio public school cannot mandate that students call their classmates by their preferred pronouns.

00:08:30.460 This is based on a 2023 lawsuit from the group defending education against the Olentangy local school district in Ohio over anti-harassment policies, which compelled students to, quote, affirm the genders of their peers.

00:08:49.820 You see, after a lower court wanted to dismiss the lawsuit, a panel made the ruling that the school district cannot wield their authority

00:08:59.140 to compel speech or demand silence from citizens who would disagree with the regulators' politically controversial preferred new form of grammar. 0.83

00:09:09.860 The Olentangy school district was threatening students with suspension or expulsion unless they humored the gender nonsense from their mentally ill counterparts. 0.97

00:09:23.340 The court determined that this was a fundamental violation of the First Amendment to free speech.

00:09:29.140 And deeply un-American in its attempt to police speech or to control thought. 0.78

00:09:34.260 The court stated,

00:09:36.300 American history and tradition uphold the majority's decision to strike down the school's pronoun policy.

00:09:44.600 Over hundreds of years, grammar has developed in America without government interference.

00:09:50.560 Consistent with our historical tradition, our cherished First Amendment,

00:09:55.380 the pronoun debate must not be won through individual persuasion, not government coercion.

00:10:02.160 Our system forbids public schools from becoming enclaves of totalitarianism.

00:10:07.360 So the only way to push the transgender agenda is through a coercion and silencing anyone with any rational or reasonable objections. 0.98

00:10:16.380 This court made the right decision in validating these senseless policies.

00:10:21.480 Meanwhile, New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani has named El Bisgard Church as his new chief of staff.

00:10:31.680 Bisgard Church was instrumental in rallying the Democratic Socialists of America behind Mamdani as his ground troops to win the recent election.

00:10:41.260 Mamdani credits Bisgard Church with steering his campaign and helping Mandani set his agenda,

00:10:48.120 which includes defunding the police, freezing rents, increasing the minimum wage to $30 an hour,

00:10:55.940 government-run grocery stores, free bus and subway rides, and free child care.

00:11:01.680 She will help the new mayor, Mamdani, implement these nanny state policies in New York City 0.70

00:11:07.860 that will make overbearing government to a whole new level. 1.00

00:11:12.360 Bisgard Church is a well-educated Marxist.

00:11:15.500 She went to graduate school at the University of Columbia before going to the London School of Economics.

00:11:21.380 So she's steeped in far-left ideology. 0.97

00:11:24.960 What makes her dangerous, in my view, is the fact that she's not stupid at all. 0.98

00:11:28.840 This woman will be deviously working to attack the pillars of a free society, 1.00

00:11:34.540 including religion, the family, private property, and yes, the rule of law.

00:11:40.060 It will be an all-out assault on the rights of the people of New York.

00:11:44.660 They will rue the day they put Mamdani or any socialist in office.

00:11:49.000 But the disaster to come may pave the way for the rise of a Republican governor.

00:11:54.220 Elise Stefanik, a congresswoman from upstate New York,

00:11:57.960 has announced her candidacy to challenge sitting governor Kathy Hochul.

00:12:03.040 This may be the single best chance Republicans have had

00:12:06.020 to regain the governorship of the Empire State in decades.

00:12:10.560 I believe that the policies of Mamdani will cause a rapid decline in New York City, 1.00

00:12:15.980 which could pave the way for the first Republican governor in memory.

00:12:20.300 In Elise Stefanik, Republicans are nominating a fighter, 0.81

00:12:25.100 someone who I believe can reach independent and younger voters,

00:12:30.300 someone who has led the way for the final implementation of a strategic missile defense

00:12:37.720 to defend the entire East Coast,

00:12:40.420 where she's fought to put that right here in Fort Drum, New York.

00:12:44.100 It's going to be one of the most exciting gubernatorial races in the country.

00:12:47.760 I believe the time is exactly right.

00:12:51.580 And that the high-tax, soft-on-crime policies of Mamdani in New York City

00:12:56.920 could pave the way for the election of Elise Stefanik. 0.99

00:13:01.020 We'll be following this race very, very closely here in the Stone Zone. 1.00

00:13:05.480 In fact, I've invited Congresswoman Stefanik to join us for an interview.

00:13:09.500 We don't endorse candidates here,

00:13:11.740 but we will be talking about this race a lot in the months to come.

00:13:15.540 Thanks for joining us today on the Stone Zone.

00:13:17.820 Whatever you do, don't touch that dial,

00:13:20.020 because we'll be back with more Hot American Politics.

00:13:23.320 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine.

00:13:27.000 What's your secret?

00:13:27.980 Goya coconut milk.

00:13:29.120 How does it taste so good?

00:13:30.480 It's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich, creamy texture.

00:13:34.580 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:13:36.800 None.

00:13:37.380 Just smooth, coconut-y goodness.

00:13:39.840 What can I make with it?

00:13:41.000 From curries to sweet treats like coconut flan,

00:13:43.940 the possibilities are endless.

00:13:46.320 Goya coconut milk.

00:13:47.560 Take your cooking to the next level.

00:13:49.160 No question about it.

00:13:50.260 Find it in the Goya section of your local grocery store.

00:13:52.440 If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:13:55.140 The Stone Zone.

00:13:57.120 Entertaining and informative.

00:13:59.300 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:02.160 You are now re-entering the Stone Zone.

00:14:06.040 And I'm Roger Stone.

00:14:08.140 Well, President Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy

00:14:11.800 and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller

00:14:14.980 told it to the public straight during a recent appearance I saw on Fox News,

00:14:20.240 where he candidly described in non-political correct terms

00:14:24.820 what happens when a country just lets in foreign migrants.

00:14:29.660 Miller said,

00:14:30.840 Who lives in your country determines what your country is. 0.96

00:14:34.260 At the end of the day, what this really comes down to is this.

00:14:38.800 Haiti, for example, doesn't work as a country.

00:14:41.120 It just doesn't.

00:14:42.100 People have tried forever.

00:14:43.260 People spent billions of dollars trying to make Haiti work as a project, as a nation.

00:14:48.500 But Haiti just doesn't work. 0.72

00:14:50.360 Because Haiti will let in anyone and has unlimited foreign immigration.

00:14:55.980 So if you take Haiti and you move it to America, 0.61

00:14:58.420 it's not going to work here either.

00:15:00.420 Somalia doesn't work as a country. 0.56

00:15:02.360 Has never worked as a country.

00:15:04.360 You take Somalia out of Somalia, 1.00

00:15:06.460 you put it here in the United States,

00:15:08.220 it's not going to work any better.

00:15:09.660 It's not about how you feel about any individual immigrant or group.

00:15:14.100 It's about the policy at a systemic scale.

00:15:17.420 So if you move the third world to the first world, 0.97

00:15:20.380 eventually we will become the third world. 0.97

00:15:23.260 And that's not good for us.

00:15:24.840 It's not good for anybody who wants to live here in the future.

00:15:29.020 These comments would have been previously branded by some as a white supremacist.

00:15:34.920 But President Trump's brash style has put an end to cancel culture.

00:15:39.740 Now Americans can call out illegal immigration for what it is.

00:15:43.800 This is an attack against the American people. 0.82

00:15:46.260 This is the demographic overthrow of America. 0.85

00:15:49.420 They want to replace native-born Americans. 1.00

00:15:52.360 This is part of a conspiracy to destroy Western civilization.

00:15:56.360 We need to keep calling this out

00:15:57.800 and make it more commonplace to speak out against illegal immigration.

00:16:02.160 Yes, we welcome immigrants to America.

00:16:05.040 We are a nation of immigrants.

00:16:07.460 My people came from Europe.

00:16:09.580 But immigration must be legal.

00:16:11.880 It must be orderly.

00:16:13.440 And above all, we must have a system that regulates who comes to our country. 1.00

00:16:19.700 Under Joe Biden, America became an extraordinary, dangerous place

00:16:23.540 because they essentially just threw our borders open to anyone who wanted to come here.

00:16:28.420 Now we don't even know how many illegals are in the country

00:16:32.260 and we don't know how many of those illegals are terrorists.

00:16:36.260 President Donald Trump has rightfully mounted the greatest single deportation

00:16:41.240 of illegal immigrants in American history

00:16:43.880 and we must pray that he is successful.

00:16:46.760 A country that has no borders is not a country.

00:16:50.980 I'm Roger Stone.

00:16:52.020 You're listening to The Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:16:56.240 Thank you for joining us.

00:16:57.740 We talk politics, history, news, and dare I say it, culture five days a week.

00:17:03.960 Whatever you do, don't touch that dial

00:17:05.920 because we'll be right back with more politics.

00:17:09.220 And when we come back, we'll talk about the fact

00:17:11.460 that the International Olympics Committee

00:17:13.380 is expected to prevent biological males from competing in women's sports. 1.00

00:17:19.520 I'm Roger Stone.

00:17:20.640 You're listening to The Stone Zone.

00:17:21.880 Whatever you do, please don't touch that dial.

00:17:26.240 This is The Stone Zone.

00:17:39.380 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:17:41.300 It's The Stone Zone.

00:17:43.300 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going

00:17:47.020 and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.

00:17:50.380 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:17:52.820 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?

00:17:54.920 Here's Roger Stone.

00:18:01.200 You are now re-entering The Stone Zone.

00:18:05.860 So the International Olympics Committee is expected to prevent biological males

00:18:10.980 from competing in women's sports in the upcoming Olympic Games in 2028

00:18:16.380 that will take place in Los Angeles, California.

00:18:19.120 This decision takes place after President Donald Trump made it known

00:18:23.320 that the U.S. will deny visas for birth males looking to make a mockery of the Olympics

00:18:29.680 by competing against women.

00:18:31.320 The new International Olympics Committee president, Christy Coventry, is expected to officially change the policy of that body in the upcoming months.

00:18:41.500 The International Olympics Committee, medical, health and science director, Dr. Jane Thornton, presented information during recent commission meetings

00:18:51.740 demonstrating how birth males, calling themselves transgendered males, have advantages over birth females.

00:18:59.180 This was previously called common sense, but now apparently actually needs to be explained to members of high society.

00:19:07.140 According to sources, Dr. Thornton laid out the evidence and it was generally well received from the committee members.

00:19:13.200 This is yet another sign that the transgendered absurdity is waning. 1.00

00:19:18.820 People who were previously scared to speak out, even though they knew it was madness, are now finding their courage.

00:19:24.960 God bless Riley Gaines and others who spoke out and paved the way for sanity to once more reign in Olympic sports.

00:19:32.500 No, men should not compete against women in the upcoming Olympics.

00:19:37.240 Meanwhile, House Republicans are demanding information regarding Kamala Harris's Secret Service detail.

00:19:45.800 Congressman Barry Loudermilk, who serves as the chairman of the select subcommittee investigating questions surrounding January 6th,

00:19:54.820 issued a letter to former Vice President Kamala Harris's Secret Service detail demanding information about the pipe bomb

00:20:02.200 that was planted at the Democrat National Committee on January 6th, 2021.

00:20:08.180 The letter states,

00:20:09.340 During the 119th Congress, we have sought information regarding the discovery of pipe bombs that were placed near the Republican National Committee

00:20:18.340 and the Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 6th.

00:20:22.560 Now, more than four years later, there remain more questions than answers surrounding who may have placed these devices

00:20:30.420 and whether federal law enforcement entities have adequately investigated the matter.

00:20:36.400 Given the presidents of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's Secret Service detail at the Democrat National Committee,

00:20:43.400 when authorities discover this pipe bomb, your agents may possess information that is necessary for our oversight

00:20:50.420 and we request your cooperation in this process.

00:20:54.520 Last week, as I reported, right here in the Stone Zone,

00:20:57.900 it was revealed that former Capitol Police officer Shawnee Kirkhoff, who now works for the CIA,

00:21:05.580 was an accurate match for the figure caught on security video captured near the scene.

00:21:11.520 It may be possible that it was multiple deep state operatives working in concert.

00:21:16.620 House Republicans and the Trump administration must continue investigating until the guilty party is located and they're charged.

00:21:24.240 This is a revelation that will show the entire country that January 6th was a Fed's surrection

00:21:30.720 and that Trump supporters were ensnared in an op all along.

00:21:35.620 Meanwhile, a handful of rogue Senate Democrats have flipped and voted with Republicans to reopen the federal government.

00:21:43.960 This happened on Sunday.

00:21:45.620 Democrats are blaming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his inability to keep his ranks in line.

00:21:51.720 Representative Roe Khanna from California, one of the most progressive members of the Democrat House caucus,

00:21:59.500 blasted Schumer in an expo saying that Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced.

00:22:05.880 If you can't lead the fight to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing for Americans,

00:22:10.600 what will you fight for?

00:22:12.200 The California Democrats said.

00:22:14.320 Yet another progressive stalwart in the House, Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, said,

00:22:19.700 Tonight is another example of why we need new leadership.

00:22:24.020 If Chuck Schumer were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to continue to vote no.

00:22:29.800 That was tonight.

00:22:31.080 And he would have held the line on health care.

00:22:32.980 Now maybe Senator Ed Markie of Massachusetts will finally join me in pledging not to vote for Schumer to be the Senate's leader.

00:22:42.720 This pushback against Schumer highlights the growing schism within the Democrat Party.

00:22:47.460 You see, any time Democrat leaders are not sufficiently radical,

00:22:52.100 the most extreme among their ranks will be applying severe pressure to them.

00:22:56.840 The radical socialists are waiting in the weeds to take power from the Democrats' old guard.

00:23:02.100 There is no better example of the old guard than Chuck Schumer.

00:23:05.780 And they'll eventually be successful.

00:23:08.140 MAGA, the America Great Movement, just has to be up to the challenge of defeating them in order to save our country.

00:23:14.900 So the old Democrat Party, the party of John F. Kennedy, the party of Harry Truman, who was indeed the founder of Israel,

00:23:23.220 the party that believed in capitalism, free enterprise, a strong national defense, and yes, God,

00:23:30.300 that Democrat Party no longer exists.

00:23:33.720 Republicans have an obligation to broaden our party,

00:23:36.720 to attract the votes of Democrats and disaffended independents seeking a new way for America.

00:23:43.000 The Democrat Party has lost its way.

00:23:46.340 Before you count your chickens regarding the 2026 and 2028 elections,

00:23:51.580 look at the Democrat Party because today it is a fiasco.

00:23:55.680 Indeed, it's a mess.

00:23:57.800 Meanwhile, a Seattle-area councilwoman is urging citizens to fight back against ICE.

00:24:04.740 Angie Nueva Camina, a city councilwoman in Redmond, Washington,

00:24:09.440 called on citizens to fight back against ICE in what could be interpreted as a call to arms for leftist radicals in that region

00:24:19.040 to commit violence against federal law enforcement officers.

00:24:23.260 She made the comments during an exchange at a city council meeting with Police Chief Darrell Lowe,

00:24:29.160 who has stated his agency was doing nothing to help ICE with immigration enforcement,

00:24:33.940 but were constitutionally not allowed to stop ICE's actions at the same time.

00:24:39.720 So Nueva Camina said,

00:24:42.120 they're operating under federal law and federal authority,

00:24:45.000 and federal law and authority supersedes that of local jurisdiction.

00:24:49.760 So we would not be able to interfere or intervene in their particular operations.

00:24:55.200 We've seen in other communities where it's been the community then taking it upon themselves

00:25:00.700 to essentially fight back against ICE officers who are merely performing their duties.

00:25:07.320 They're doing it right there in their communities.

00:25:09.760 So basically what we're letting our community know is,

00:25:12.880 hey, from a city perspective, we really can't do anything.

00:25:16.660 So it's upon you then to stand up and fight back against ICE officers doing their duty to arrest and deport dangerous illegals. 0.99

00:25:26.660 This attitude from the city councilwoman is shared by public officials in and around the cities of Seattle and Portland.

00:25:33.680 This is why law enforcement sits idly by and has been indicted in Portland.

00:25:39.560 Police may actually be helping Antifa terrorists get to safe houses

00:25:43.940 to avoid being captured for their violent actions against ICE agents.

00:25:49.220 This is why President Donald Trump must use the National Guard to keep peace in these areas

00:25:54.440 and to help ICE with immigration enforcement.

00:25:58.040 These communist subversives cannot be allowed to destroy the country unabated.

00:26:03.380 This is a national emergency, and President Trump must use his power as such.

00:26:08.600 Several people were arrested outside a Turning Point USA event

00:26:13.480 on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley.

00:26:17.500 Turning Point USA was, of course, the student organization founded by my late friend, Charlie Kirk.

00:26:24.480 A Trump supporter was allegedly the victim of an attempted robbery by an Antifa thug resulting in the altercation.

00:26:31.760 The Antifa terrorist was apprehended by police

00:26:35.040 as his fellow comrades attempted to de-arrest him through obstruction and violence.

00:26:40.780 Antifa terrorists were chanting to get the fascists out of Berkeley

00:26:45.240 and set up barricades to stop entry to the event. 0.99

00:26:49.160 Others were heard chanting, anytime, anyplace, punch a fascist in the face, 1.00

00:26:54.280 as well as, X, you're dead homie. 1.00

00:26:57.740 You can use your imagination there.

00:26:59.920 Referring, of course, to my late friend, Charlie Kirk.

00:27:02.800 Overall, four University of California Berkeley students were arrested for felony vandalism

00:27:09.620 as part of this demonstration against Turning Point USA.

00:27:13.500 Twenty-eight flyers were glued to the historic Sather Gate,

00:27:17.120 featuring quotes from Charlie Kirk on abortion, gun control,

00:27:20.680 and other topics designed to inflame liberals on campus into shutting the event down by force.

00:27:26.640 Even though President Trump has named Antifa as a terrorist organization,

00:27:31.600 they still feel emboldened to attack peaceful protesters

00:27:35.000 and obstruct lawful displays and gatherings by conservatives.

00:27:39.740 If anything, they see the death of my friend Charlie Kirk as a feather in their cap

00:27:44.300 and a sign that they need to double down on the heinous tactics and violence.

00:27:49.760 So until Antifa is treated like ISIS, their funding sources are exposed,

00:27:54.040 and cells are taken down by federal authorities,

00:27:57.120 they will continue to tear our country apart.

00:28:00.080 This is the mandate that President Trump must deliver upon.

00:28:03.140 The future of our nation depends upon Antifa being taken down.

00:28:08.200 In the meantime, you may recall that the FBI director, Christopher Wray,

00:28:11.720 insisted that Antifa wasn't even an organization, that it was just an idea.

00:28:17.620 Well, my question is an obvious one.

00:28:19.860 Who's paying for the pallets of bricks?

00:28:22.340 Who's paying for the flatbed trucks? 1.00

00:28:25.360 Who's paying for the buses that are shepherding Antifa demonstrators and terrorists around?

00:28:31.400 And who's paying for the lawyers who, on those rare occasions when Antifa operatives

00:28:37.040 and miscreants are arrested, immediately bail them out?

00:28:41.860 The president is right to call Antifa a terrorist organization.

00:28:44.940 And Vice President J.D. Vance and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Domestic Policy Stephen Miller

00:28:52.580 must take seriously their effort to uncover the interconnected nonprofit organizations

00:28:59.400 as well as our tax dollars that are going to fund these terrorists.

00:29:04.900 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is planning to spend hundreds of billion dollars

00:29:10.240 in loans for the construction of nuclear power plants.

00:29:15.260 As the AI revolution takes off, the data centers that are being created across the country

00:29:20.940 have an insatiable need for energy.

00:29:24.480 Morgan Stanley estimated the United States would need, at the very least,

00:29:28.220 an additional 36 GW in new power by 2028 to service the data centers,

00:29:35.060 and that number is only rising.

00:29:36.700 This has caused a renewed interest in clean nuclear energy.

00:29:41.960 In order for the U.S. to win the artificial intelligence arms race,

00:29:46.340 the Trump administration announced that the federal government

00:29:48.740 will be lending hundreds of billions of dollars to facilitate

00:29:51.800 the development of nuclear power across the country.

00:29:55.860 Energy Secretary Chris Wright said,

00:29:58.520 We have significant lending authority at the loan program office.

00:30:01.860 By far, the biggest use of those dollars will be for nuclear power plants

00:30:06.720 to get those first plants built.

00:30:09.220 The U.S. currently has no commercial nuclear reactors being built,

00:30:13.460 though several intend to reverse their permanent shutdown status and open again.

00:30:18.160 There are other plans to build new, large, and small reactors.

00:30:23.000 President Trump signed a May executive order

00:30:25.500 that called for the United States to start building 10 massive nuclear reactors by 2030

00:30:31.760 as tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft

00:30:36.480 make private investments into existing and defunct nuclear plants.

00:30:41.540 While there are certainly many problems with AI and these tech problems,

00:30:45.860 their insatiable need for energy

00:30:47.560 and the resulting investment in nuclear power

00:30:51.140 could be the solution for energy problems.

00:30:53.960 Nuclear is a clean, viable, and safe form of energy.

00:30:58.300 It was once politically incorrect, but today it is absolutely essential.

00:31:03.180 So I think we should applaud the Trump administration

00:31:05.360 for this critical investment in our national infrastructure

00:31:09.480 and recognize the importance that nuclear plays in the mix of energy.

00:31:16.200 In addition to this investment in nuclear power,

00:31:18.460 the Trump administration announced that a $625 million expansion

00:31:22.820 of certain programs will keep coal-fired power plants open and operational.

00:31:29.100 Energy Secretary Chris Wright again stated that the Trump administration

00:31:32.440 is undoing the damage by Democrat administrations

00:31:35.940 who believe that coal was the energy of the past

00:31:38.880 and needed to be shut down for the greater good,

00:31:41.680 regardless of how much it would hurt American families.

00:31:44.640 Right said, coal just makes the world go round.

00:31:48.600 They've tried to strangle it, particularly the Biden administration.

00:31:51.600 It started, however, with the Obama administration.

00:31:54.200 We're going to export more of that coal.

00:31:56.200 We're going to use it for American industry,

00:31:58.300 particularly as we re-industrialize,

00:32:00.740 and it's going to continue to provide 15 to 16 percent of our electricity

00:32:05.640 and enable us to re-industrialize the country

00:32:08.620 and win the artificial intelligence race.

00:32:11.820 Coal is the energy of now, and it's in the public interest

00:32:15.580 as well as the national security interest

00:32:17.740 to expand its production capability.

00:32:20.620 China gains a foothold against us in the geopolitical fear

00:32:24.340 when we refuse to maximize our use of coal.

00:32:27.900 We need to put all of these bizarre obsessions

00:32:29.940 with carbon emissions to bed.

00:32:31.900 That line of thinking is what impoverishes America.

00:32:34.620 Even Bill Gates is turning against it.

00:32:36.920 The Trump administration's energy policy

00:32:38.780 is a breath of fresh air amidst an elite who are anti-human

00:32:42.820 and want to strangle our prosperity on an ideological basis.

00:32:47.460 I'm Roger Stone.

00:32:48.460 You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:32:52.540 The Stone Zone.

00:32:54.320 Entertaining and informative.

00:32:56.480 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:00.140 You are now re-entering The Stone Zone.

00:33:03.800 So, throughout the government shutdown,

00:33:07.040 one thing that has surprised many Americans, including me,

00:33:10.560 is the sheer number of Americans who today rely on food stamps.

00:33:15.660 In 1970, only 2% of Americans received what we call today

00:33:20.280 SNAP benefits.

00:33:22.400 That number has risen to 13% of Americans today,

00:33:26.420 representing 42 million people.

00:33:28.940 That's an increase of 650%.

00:33:32.120 The welfare program rose exponentially during the economic crisis,

00:33:36.800 with food stamp usage increasing 69% between 2008 and 2013.

00:33:43.000 The number has gone up slightly,

00:33:44.760 but then food stamp usage has become a staple of modern life,

00:33:49.020 with one in eight Americans now on some sort of food assistance.

00:33:54.560 The SNAP program has surprisingly become rife

00:33:57.300 for bureaucratic plunder, however.

00:33:59.380 SNAP erroneously dispersed almost $11 billion through 2024.

00:34:06.980 However, that number is, in all actuality, probably much higher.

00:34:11.640 Robert Rector, the senior researcher at the Heritage Foundation,

00:34:17.560 has stated that the reported error rates are false and ridiculously low.

00:34:22.580 Rector noted that there are about 4 million people on food stamps

00:34:26.660 that are able-bodied adults without dependents.

00:34:30.160 Now, the Trump administration instituted a reform back in July,

00:34:34.040 forcing people to work in order to receive benefits.

00:34:37.140 But much more reform is badly needed

00:34:39.560 in order to create less dependency on welfare across America.

00:34:43.680 A dependent population is a subservient population, 1.00

00:34:48.060 and that's what the elites knew when they created this system.

00:34:52.100 Unfortunately, their plan, to some extent, has worked,

00:34:54.820 and will take a lot of work from the Trump administration.

00:34:57.580 But the able-bodied working people in America in general

00:35:00.140 need to help dig us out of this hole.

00:35:03.600 Meanwhile, Republicans are challenging a constitutional amendment

00:35:08.880 that was a ballot initiative approved last week in California

00:35:12.340 that would allow the temporary suspension

00:35:14.740 of the California state constitution

00:35:17.540 in order to allow a partisan gerrymandering

00:35:21.420 in their redistricting their seats in Congress.

00:35:24.280 The measure was put forward in response to President Trump's demands

00:35:28.320 that states like Texas redraw fairer congressional legislative districts

00:35:33.240 that do not disenfranchise Republicans.

00:35:36.720 The Gavin Newsom-backed proposal in California, on the other hand,

00:35:40.220 was written specifically for the purpose of promoting

00:35:42.680 unfair partisan district maps.

00:35:46.400 California had a nonpartisan, nonpolitical, bipartisan

00:35:50.980 redistricting commission create its congressional maps in the past.

00:35:55.540 But the Democrats, through this Proposition 50,

00:35:59.180 have now suspended that.

00:36:00.500 California Republicans believe this is not only an egregious violation of the law,

00:36:06.100 but it's also strictly unconstitutional.

00:36:09.540 The lawsuit that they filed against Proposition 50

00:36:12.500 violates the Constitution's, says that Prop 50

00:36:15.900 violates the Constitution's equal protection

00:36:18.500 and voting provisions by unlawfully using race

00:36:21.860 as a factor to give over-representation to certain voters.

00:36:26.900 California Republican Chairman Corinne Rankin said,

00:36:29.660 this is about the Constitution.

00:36:32.160 This is about the right that our ancestors have fought so hard for in this country.

00:36:36.240 It's about sticking with the Constitution and its equality

00:36:39.100 and fairness and equal treatment.

00:36:41.360 And we believe Californians, no matter the color of their skin,

00:36:45.140 no matter what their socioeconomic background is,

00:36:48.580 you deserve to be treated fairly.

00:36:50.540 And you deserve to be treated equally.

00:36:52.760 Expect to see these kind of redistricting fights in other states

00:36:56.740 as both parties maneuver in the upcoming

00:37:00.640 and extraordinarily important 2026 elections.

00:37:04.900 The good news for Republicans is those states that can gerrymander

00:37:08.440 and rig the system for more Democrat seats

00:37:11.360 have essentially already done so.

00:37:13.920 In the meantime, let me thank you for joining us today in the Stone Zone.
