The StoneZONE with Roger Stone

00:00:00.400 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.

00:00:04.560 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:17.880 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:21.720 People love him and respect him. Roger Stone.

00:00:24.460 Now, get him his own. It's The Stone Zone.

00:00:27.920 The Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:32.040 Welcome. You are now entering The Stone Zone.

00:00:36.940 We're coming to you live tonight from Washington, D.C.

00:00:41.360 Where, as the old joke goes, it's so cold that the exhibitionists are describing themselves to people.

00:00:48.540 It is a historic night because President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill that will end the government shutdown.

00:00:56.460 A subset of Democrat senators having folded on Chuck Schumer and his demands for $1.5 trillion in new spending in order to keep the government functioning.

00:01:09.760 And the president, I think, is about to do a victory lap.

00:01:14.020 The Republicans were always willing to keep the government operational through what's called a continuing resolution that would have continued to fund the U.S. government at current levels without any increases in federal spending.

00:01:29.780 I do want to remind people, however, that when Elon Musk, a man that I admire a great deal, and I'm quite grateful because he returned my profile on Twitter, now known as X, where I am Roger J. Stone Jr., I was banned in 2017.

00:01:48.280 I'm not really sure why they actually don't tell you why they just tell you you have violated their community standards, which I actually think means you supported Donald Trump, or you question the outcome of the 2020 election, or you question the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccination, or any other of the conventional wisdom narratives.

00:02:13.620 But tonight, we see a return of the Democrats' vicious assault on President Trump, distorting once again the facts about his connection to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

00:02:29.620 Once again, a number of influencers and bots in the service of the Democrat Party are exhuming a phony line of attack, misstating the history between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

00:02:41.820 It really should come as no surprise that Democrats previously used this entire line of attack to try to distract people from the fact that there is a former president who has extensive financial and social relationships with the rapist and sex trafficker Epstein, but that would be Bill Clinton.

00:03:04.660 How do I know this?

00:03:05.660 How do I know this?

00:03:06.660 Well, I wrote about it extensively in my book, The Clinton's War on Women, published in 2015.

00:03:11.660 In that book is, of course, the chapter, which is entitled Orgy Island, a title that I got from my good friend Sean Hannity.

00:03:27.660 I also interviewed Virginia Roberts-Geoffrey for six hours to three-hour sessions.

00:03:35.680 She was one of the women who was abused by Epstein, who refused a multi-million dollar settlement and pushed forward with her litigation against Epstein.

00:03:49.840 She was, several months ago, we were told, committed suicide.

00:03:55.040 Having interviewed her, I frankly doubt that very much, but I not only interviewed her, but I read every word of her sworn testimony in her lawsuit against Epstein.

00:04:05.400 She does concur that Trump was at Epstein's Palm Beach home on one occasion, and on that one occasion...

00:04:15.400 It's easy to get stuck reaching for the same familiar fruits and vegetables, even when you know a colorful variety is key.

00:04:51.320 ...perfect gentleman.

00:04:52.860 She also said that he left relatively quickly after arriving.

00:04:57.140 So, that Trump knew and was at social gatherings with Jeffrey Epstein is accurate.

00:05:03.880 However, the idea that Trump ever visited Epstein's island or his New York residence is categorically false.

00:05:12.880 In fact, Trump was only on Epstein's plane once, according to the FAA records that I cited in my 2015 book.

00:05:21.180 The British tabloids now falsely claim that Trump had additional flights on Epstein's plane, but let's be very clear.

00:05:29.120 The FAA records show that Donald Trump and his then-wife, Marla Maples, and their daughter, Tiffany Trump, were on Epstein's plane one weekend when Trump's plane was in for service.

00:05:43.600 It left Teterboro in New Jersey, right outside New York City, flew to Palm Beach on a Friday, and returned from Palm Beach on that following Sunday night.

00:05:56.540 So, Trump had his wife and his daughter with him, as well as a nanny.

00:06:01.240 Now, the Palm Beach police chief, Michael Reiter, insisted to me when I wrote this book that he gave the state's attorney in Palm Beach County, Florida, enough evidence from a six-month undercover investigation to charge Jeffrey Epstein with 35 incidents of child sex trafficking and multiple counts of rape of a minor.

00:06:22.020 Chief Reiter, Chief Reiter, therefore, was shocked when the state's attorney, an elected Democrat, filed the sweetheart plea deal that Epstein's high-priced lawyers, including Roy Black, Gerald Lefkort, Alan Dershowitz, and former U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr, secured for him in Florida.

00:06:43.020 The state's attorney who gave Epstein a slap on the wrist almost immediately resigned and formed a private law firm, which almost immediately began providing legal services to several of Epstein's accomplices.

00:06:58.240 Trump actually broke with Jeffrey Epstein as early as late 2004, borrowing him from all of his properties after Epstein made an improper advance to the aforementioned Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who was then underage and working in the spa at Trump's club, Mar-a-Lago.

00:07:22.320 So they broke as early as 24.

00:07:25.420 That's before Epstein was exposed and charged in Florida.

00:07:30.040 Epstein should have gone down initially for sex trafficking.

00:07:33.540 Instead, he was allowed to plead to one count of solicitation, a shocking plea that required him to serve his time, not in a Florida state penitentiary like all other sex offenders, but in the air-conditioned and newly renovated Palm Beach County Jail.

00:07:51.240 And even then, he only had to be in jail from 10 p.m.

00:07:56.440 At night until 6 a.m.

00:07:58.580 In the morning.

00:07:59.740 He even had his gourmet meals brought in.

00:08:03.460 The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office operated more like Epstein's personal security detail as they transported him during his daytime business activities or in his leisure time at his Palm Beach mansion.

00:08:15.700 Now, when Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Ryder took his concerns about the state's attorney's soft plea deal with Epstein to the U.S. attorney, Alex Acosta, he had jurisdiction for all of South Florida.

00:08:32.240 Acosta essentially rubber-stamped the state plea deal, and then he sealed the record, which means we would know nothing today but for the extensive litigation by the Palm Beach Post newspaper, who ultimately obtained the documents that proved that the Bush Justice Department instructed Acosta, the U.S. attorney, to give Jeffrey Epstein a pass.

00:08:57.600 So in preparation later, when Acosta would be appointed Secretary of Labor by President Donald Trump, Trump never having been told that Acosta had played some role in the soft plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein, but had been sold to Trump as an outstanding Hispanic nominee.

00:09:27.600 In case as a U.S. attorney, he would simply say that the DAOJ had told him that Epstein worked for the CIA and that the matter needed to be sealed.

00:09:41.080 So after his state sentence, Epstein essentially returned almost immediately to his management of his blackmail and sex trafficking operations, and but for the dogged reporting of a reporter named Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald, these facts about Epstein probably would never have come to life, nor would his, I think, highly questionable suicide.

00:10:06.080 As I say, Virginia Roberts, among his victims who sued Epstein for sexual abuse, in her lawsuit deposition, she admitted that she had met the billionaire Donald Trump, and he was, as I say, a complete gentleman.

00:10:20.900 Trump turned down numerous invitations to Epstein's hedonistic private island and his Palm Beach home.

00:10:27.080 There is no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump did anything inappropriate or improper.

00:10:35.080 Norma Federer, rest her soul, President Trump's longtime personal assistant, who had become a very good friend of mine, told me that Trump thought Epstein was creepy and barred him from both Mar-a-Lago and barred him also from his properties.

00:10:50.760 I remember Trump telling me that the one time he visited Epstein's Palm Beach home, as he pulled up with his security detail, the swimming pool was full of young girls.

00:11:04.060 Trump told a member of his club, how nice, I thought.

00:11:07.780 He let the neighborhood kids use his pool.

00:11:10.520 But according to his personal security guard, Trump left Epstein's home within 15 minutes of arrival, feeling uncomfortable, even in this public fundraising event with the strange ratio of men to much younger women.

00:11:24.720 Many of the Epstein-based smears against Trump are now recycled by those who would like to distract from the fact that they just closed down the federal government.

00:11:35.240 But Epstein, in fact, provided millions of dollars in seed funding for the Clinton Global Initiative, was a heavy donor to the Clinton Foundation.

00:11:45.360 In fact, it is former President Bill Clinton who visited Epstein's island on at least 17 occasions, as well as being identified in the FAA flight records as having been on Epstein's plane as many as 26 occasions.

00:12:00.660 The Clinton Foundation, by the way, provided 100 percent of the funding for Terra Mar, a nonprofit controlled by Epstein's pimp co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, which was actually used to hire young female interns to allegedly work on environmental projects while actually constituting a grooming pool.

00:12:22.560 What happened today is House Democrats released a bunch of emails from 2019, most of which are redacted, but none of which actually prove that Donald Trump had knowledge or was involved in any inappropriate way with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:12:40.080 This is the story of the day.

00:12:42.360 When we come back, we'll talk about who did take money from Epstein.

00:12:46.380 That would be Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and what big-name political figures were on Epstein's island, including former President Bill Clinton.

00:12:59.520 I favor full and complete disclosure of all of the Epstein records, and the sooner we do it, the better, because the sooner we do it, the sooner we'll be able to prove that Donald Trump has literally nothing to hide.

00:13:12.000 You're listening to Stone Zone.

00:13:13.700 I'm Roger Stone, and we'll be right back.

00:13:16.380 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:13:21.260 He likes politics, and he's a professional.

00:13:23.960 At the highest level, Roger Stone.

00:13:27.160 Where's Roger?

00:13:39.400 The Stone Zone.

00:13:41.480 Entertaining and informative.

00:13:43.620 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:13:46.380 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:13:58.900 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:14:02.780 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:14:04.000 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:14:07.120 Now, get him a zone.

00:14:08.880 It's the Stone Zone.

00:14:10.940 Here's Roger Stone.

00:14:12.480 Welcome back to the Stone Zone.

00:14:15.960 I can't tell you how much I appreciate those warm words from Vice President J.D. Vance.

00:14:22.740 We're talking about Jeffrey Epstein and the latest smears trying to connect him to Donald Trump.

00:14:29.540 While they both knew each other, there is no question about that.

00:14:33.180 There is no evidence whatsoever of wrongdoing by Trump, who cut off Epstein as early as 2004, before Epstein was exposed in the state of Florida as a sex criminal.

00:14:45.620 Actually, it's New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the pedophile through the 1990s, according to a report in the New York Post.

00:14:58.260 Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations, which was then the legal maximum, from Jeffrey Epstein between 1992 and 1997, beginning when Schumer was a U.S. congressman, and then when he was actually running to be the state's U.S. senator in 1998.

00:15:20.500 Epstein, who would later, of course, be charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 with one count of child sex trafficking and a second count of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking, also gave a $10,000 contribution to Victory New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Senator Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senatorial Committee.

00:15:48.320 Epstein also gave an additional $5,000 to win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the then Liberal Party of New York State, a party that no longer exists.

00:16:02.500 Both of Epstein's donations to these committees came in October of 1998 and looked to have been primarily benefited the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and the old Liberal Party of New York.

00:16:15.800 Epstein would have already met the $2,000 limit when it came to donating to Schumer directly.

00:16:22.940 At the time, donors could only give $1,000 to a candidate per election, once in a primary, again in the general election, which means that Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000 from Jeffrey Epstein.

00:16:38.980 Now, on the question of whether Epstein did, in fact, kill himself, you can put me down as a skeptic.

00:16:45.980 I point out that the former New York medical examiner, Michael Baden, one of the most respected pathologists in the country, was hired by Epstein's family to examine his body.

00:16:59.120 And Baden, who has seen over 1,000 hanging cases and conducted the autopsies in them, said that the bone fractures in various bones in Epstein's neck were completely and totally inconsistent with his having hung himself.

00:17:18.460 Why the rush to judgment is a little hard to understand, FBI Director Kash Patel actually said in an interview that he's seen no evidence whatsoever that Epstein was involved in sex trafficking of children to others.

00:17:33.640 Which leads me to believe what information was shown to the grand jury in 2019 when Epstein was charged with child sex trafficking, as well as a secondary count of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking.

00:17:49.560 I would point out that when the Trump current Justice Department moved to release all of the grand jury testimony against Epstein, that Democrat judges in both New York and Florida blocked public release of that information.

00:18:05.640 So when it comes to the question of Jeffrey Epstein, put me down as being in favor of full and complete public disclosure.

00:18:13.020 So this can no longer be used as a smear against Donald Trump or an attempt to distract from the fact that the Democrats just shut down the entire federal government for more than 40 days.

00:18:26.260 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone. And we'll be right back.

00:18:43.020 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.

00:18:55.600 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:19:07.540 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:19:11.220 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:19:15.260 Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:19:19.560 Now, get him a zone. It's The Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:19:26.880 Welcome back. You are re-entering The Stone Zone.

00:19:30.740 Joining you tonight, live from Washington, D.C.

00:19:35.080 I saw President Donald Trump late this afternoon.

00:19:37.660 I must say he looked hale and hearty.

00:19:39.920 Stories about his being in ill health or being down are completely untrue.

00:19:45.280 The president was ebullient about the fact that he is going to succeed, I believe, tonight in reopening the federal government.

00:19:53.420 Again, Democrats were insisting on $1.5 trillion in new spending, most of it for health care for illegal immigrants,

00:20:01.660 as a condition of reopening our government.

00:20:05.120 But a small subset of Democrats have folded.

00:20:09.360 I just got news.

00:20:10.320 The House has now passed the bill to end the government shutdown.

00:20:14.760 And the president will sign that moments from now.

00:20:17.980 Congressman California, California Congressman Eric Swalwell, has faced a barrage of controversy in recent years,

00:20:25.860 including his alleged extramarital affair with a communist Chinese spy, Fang Fang.

00:20:33.620 Let's just say that Swalwell penetrated her and she penetrated his office by placing a staffer there. 0.99

00:20:41.520 Significant because Swalwell was on the House Intelligence Committee where he had access to classified national security information.

00:20:51.700 Of course, there was also his famous on-air mishap in 2019, an interview with Chris Matthews,

00:20:58.800 in which quite memorably he, shall we say, broke wind, as the British would say.

00:21:03.840 But now a new revelation raises even more serious questions about Eric Swalwell's integrity and his eligibility to actually serve in Congress.

00:21:14.260 Despite serving as a congressman from California's 15th district and claiming that his hometown is Livermore, California,

00:21:22.700 on his official House profile, Swalwell has declared his Washington, D.C. property as his, quote, principal legal residence.

00:21:33.040 A public deed of trust for Swalwell's home at a Washington, D.C. address, which I'm not going to dox in this public radio program,

00:21:43.840 confirms that the property was designated on the deed of trust as his principal legal residence as a condition of his mortgage loan.

00:21:54.660 The deed also includes explicit language, making the borrower liable for false or misleading statements regarding the occupancy of the property.

00:22:05.620 It specifically says, quote, borrower shall be in default if borrower gave material false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to the lender.

00:22:18.000 Material representations include borrower's occupancy of the property as the borrower's principal residence.

00:22:25.380 But under Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, members of the U.S. House must be, quote,

00:22:32.980 inhabitants of the state they represent at the time of their election.

00:22:37.720 In California, maintaining this inhabitancy means that holding tangible, verifiable ties to the state,

00:22:44.980 such as owning or renting a residence, registering to vote, paying state income taxes, and possessing a California driver's license.

00:22:53.740 California's Election Code 349 goes even further.

00:22:58.460 It says a domicile is defined as the place in which his or her habitation is fixed and the place where a person intends to return and remain.

00:23:08.880 So if Congressman Eric Swalwell's true domicile is in Washington, D.C.,

00:23:14.260 as he says on the deed to his property and on the mortgage documents, all of which are public,

00:23:20.280 the city he has declared as his principal residence, he may no longer meet the basic requirement of being a California, quote, unquote, inhabitant.

00:23:30.160 Public record searches have not revealed any other home or lease under Eric Swalwell's name in California.

00:23:36.920 I was unable to find one.

00:23:38.460 The address most often associated with his background in Livermore, California, is a three-bedroom, 1,350-square-feet home that belongs to a California family,

00:23:50.880 and they have lived there since 2008, making it highly unlikely that Swalwell resides there today.

00:23:58.740 Failure to maintain a legitimate residence in California could therefore expose Eric Swalwell to legal, ethical, and electoral repercussions.

00:24:09.040 A false declaration of residency risks tax violations, misrepresentations to lenders, and challenges to his eligibility to run for re-election.

00:24:18.980 Politically, the revelation of a Washington, D.C., principal residence undermines Swalwell's credibility

00:24:26.540 and fuels the accusations of hypocrisy, especially since Swalwell rose to power by attacking his predecessor,

00:24:34.280 the late Pete Stark, for being out of touch with the district due to the fact that Pete Stark lived outside of California.

00:24:42.220 During his 2012 campaign, Eric Swalwell's mailers mocked former Congressman Pete Stark, a liberal Democrat,

00:24:50.560 as missing from his congressional district.

00:24:53.600 But now, Swalwell himself may be the one who's gone completely missing from the state he's supposed to represent.

00:25:00.640 Swalwell's inability to maintain a California home may stem from his personal financial mismanagement,

00:25:08.840 his 2025 financial disclosure reports paint a very bleak picture indeed.

00:25:16.200 So, despite earning $174,000 per year for 13 years as U.S. Congressman,

00:25:22.940 Swalwell has failed to pay down his student loans, remains mired in credit card debt,

00:25:28.760 and has even cashed out his pension.

00:25:31.340 In fact, Swalwell's debts have remained largely unchanged since his first campaign in 2011.

00:25:37.780 Student loans remain between $50,000 and $100,000, and credit card balances are still between $15,000 and $50,000,

00:25:47.720 with both American Express and Chase Bank.

00:25:51.140 So, for a sitting member of Congress, such persistent financial instability raises serious questions about judgment,

00:25:58.500 responsibility, and ethics.

00:26:00.120 But it could also explain why Swalwell can't actually afford to maintain a California home, as required by law.

00:26:09.480 So, like Adam Schiff, his colleague and mentor,

00:26:13.820 and Letitia James, the New York Attorney General,

00:26:18.220 both of whom have faced scrutiny over conflicting primary residence claims,

00:26:23.140 Swalwell has built his political brand on attacking Donald Trump.

00:26:27.440 After the events of January 6th, Swalwell loudly demanded Trump's removal,

00:26:32.260 and later filed a civil lawsuit against President Trump, Donald Trump Jr.,

00:26:36.940 Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, and Congressman Mo Brooks.

00:26:41.860 To this day, Swalwell continues to portray himself as a moral authority,

00:26:46.720 insisting that Trump, quote,

00:26:48.300 cannot defend democratic ideals like the peaceful transfer of power.

00:26:52.740 Yet, while preaching accountability, Swalwell appears unwilling to meet the most basic standards of his own office.

00:27:00.040 There appears to be a total lack of truthfulness and transparency about where the congressman actually lives.

00:27:07.380 I say it's time for Eric Swalwell to come clean.

00:27:10.680 As he declared in his Washington, D.C. documents,

00:27:14.420 D.C. House is his principal residence,

00:27:17.280 while he's not disclosing any verifiable domicile in California.

00:27:21.820 Therefore, he's deceiving both the lenders and the voters.

00:27:26.000 The law is very clear.

00:27:27.580 A member of Congress must remain in the habit of the state they represent.

00:27:31.480 By abandoning any genuine California domicile,

00:27:36.180 Swalwell risks dequalification and betrays the very district that elected him to Congress.

00:27:42.480 I think this hypocrisy is glaring.

00:27:44.380 The man who once accused others of being out of touch with the district and attacking his predecessor,

00:27:50.420 Pete Starkey, a liberal Democrat, has literally moved out of the state.

00:27:55.080 If Eric Swalwell can't demonstrate a legitimate home in California,

00:27:59.720 I think he should resign immediately before voters, creditors, and the law require him to do so.

00:28:07.200 Meanwhile, the senator from California is also under investigation for mortgage fraud,

00:28:13.920 as Fox News has reported.

00:28:16.160 Fox News' Laura Ingram has reported exclusively that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland

00:28:21.700 is investigating Adam Schiff for possible charges involving mortgage fraud.

00:28:27.340 In 2000, Schiff was elected to Congress and has served as a U.S. House member from the state of California ever since.

00:28:33.820 He was more recently elected to the U.S. Senate.

00:28:37.800 Schiff reportedly purchased a home in Maryland with his wife in 2003,

00:28:42.480 stating in the mortgage documents, which are public records,

00:28:46.380 that he would occupy this home for 12 consecutive months as their primary residence.

00:28:52.280 So despite this claim, Schiff continued to vote in California.

00:28:56.440 Schiff refinanced the home in 2009, 2010, pardon me, 2011, and 2013,

00:29:05.440 claiming once again that the Maryland home was his primary residence.

00:29:10.000 In 2009, a House ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this,

00:29:14.420 and Schiff claimed it was an error,

00:29:16.480 and that he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.

00:29:20.380 President Trump last month called for Adam Schiff to be prosecuted

00:29:24.280 and posted the receipts on the Democrats' Senate mortgage fraud.

00:29:29.820 I want to be very clear.

00:29:31.140 All of these are publicly available documents that anyone with a computer and half a brain can find.

00:29:38.660 Donald Trump was pretty succinct in his comments,

00:29:42.080 saying that Adam Schiff is a thief.

00:29:44.200 He should be prosecuted just like they tried to prosecute me, the president said.

00:29:48.120 The only difference is I was completely innocent, and it was all a giant hoax.

00:29:53.460 President Trump actually attached a screenshot of the signed and notarized affidavit

00:29:58.160 in which Adam Schiff proclaimed the mortgage property in Maryland,

00:30:02.820 like his colleague Swalwell, to be his principal legal residence.

00:30:08.060 Now, it is true that Adam Schiff, unlike Swalwell,

00:30:10.780 has a condominium in Los Angeles, actually in Burbank,

00:30:14.840 that he claims as his, quote, primary residence.

00:30:18.120 But wait a minute, one cannot have two primary legal residences.

00:30:23.640 This is textbook mortgage occupancy fraud.

00:30:27.360 Last month, Laura Ingram on Fox revealed that she had exclusively attained a criminal referral 0.93

00:30:34.040 for Adam Schiff, and that the allegations in that criminal referral

00:30:38.360 from the Federal Housing and Finance Administration Director Bill Pulte accused Schiff of falsifying bank documents

00:30:46.700 and property records over a period of 16 years in order to score more favorable mortgage terms and rates.

00:30:53.940 The fraudulent activity allegedly spanned from 2003 to 2019 and centers on a lavish Potomac, Maryland home,

00:31:03.540 while Schiff simultaneously maintained a one-bedroom condominium in Burbank, California.

00:31:10.180 The referral, submitted to the Department of Justice by Housing Director Bill Pulte,

00:31:15.360 alleges that Schiff has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records

00:31:21.100 to acquire more favorable mortgage terms, impacting payments from 2003 to 2019

00:31:28.020 for the Potomac, Maryland-based property.

00:31:32.180 Schiff owns a home in California and another in Maryland,

00:31:35.800 and Ingram incorrectly reported at that time.

00:31:39.020 So, the real question here is, do we have a two-tier justice system,

00:31:44.120 and will Adam Schiff be held to account?

00:31:47.520 I can assure you that if I did this, I would most definitely be prosecuted.

00:31:52.000 Which brings us to the case of New York Attorney General Letitia James.

00:31:57.900 Letitia James has been charged with mortgage and bank fraud

00:32:02.400 in the Eastern District of Virginia.

00:32:06.120 She has entered a non-guilty plea.

00:32:09.320 And the Wall Street Journal recently tried to whitewash this entire thing,

00:32:13.860 claiming that the evidence against her was either unconvincing or insufficient.

00:32:19.860 Really, her defense boils down to,

00:32:23.180 well, I'm being prosecuted simply because the president hates me.

00:32:27.420 The existence of political motivation does not erase the documentary evidence, however.

00:32:32.840 If it did, every powerful person prosecuted by a political opponent

00:32:36.620 would be immune from accountability.

00:32:39.240 But that's the precedent that Abby Lowell,

00:32:42.440 who is the attorney for the New York Attorney General,

00:32:45.140 is asking the Biden-appointed judge in the Virginia case to establish.

00:32:50.340 In fact, Letitia James' lawyer just filed a 50-page motion

00:32:54.820 seeking to dismiss the federal indictments against Letitia James.

00:32:58.420 His constitutional arguments are sophisticated,

00:33:01.860 but his factual claims are all provably false.

00:33:06.100 I'll tell you what's interesting.

00:33:07.140 When I was charged in the District of Columbia,

00:33:09.720 the judge specifically prohibited my defense attorneys

00:33:13.100 from raising the question of whether I was being selectively prosecuted

00:33:16.800 or whether I was being prosecuted for political motives.

00:33:20.580 So I wonder if the Biden-appointed judge in Letitia James' case 0.95

00:33:26.240 will issue the same ruling against her.

00:33:29.720 I'm Roger Stone.

00:33:30.880 You're listening to The Stone Zone,

00:33:32.340 and we'll be right back.

00:33:34.720 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:38.520 He likes politics and he's a professional.

00:33:41.220 At the highest level, Roger Stone.

00:33:44.400 Who is Roger?

00:33:45.040 The Stone Zone.

00:33:58.720 Entertaining and informative.

00:34:00.860 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:34:02.920 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:34:16.740 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:34:20.660 Roger Stone was persecuted.

00:34:21.880 People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:34:24.940 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:34:26.760 It's The Stone Zone.

00:34:28.800 Here's Roger Stone.

00:34:30.360 And we're back in The Stone Zone,

00:34:35.300 joining you tonight from Washington, D.C.,

00:34:38.920 where earlier this evening,

00:34:41.100 a subgroup of Democrat senators broke with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

00:34:46.200 and voted to reopen the federal government.

00:34:49.080 And then only minutes ago,

00:34:51.560 the Republican majority in the House passed legislation

00:34:54.740 opening the government,

00:34:56.300 which President Trump will sign shortly.

00:34:59.400 The far-left extremist group, Indivisible,

00:35:04.460 which is responsible for the No Kings protests earlier this year,

00:35:07.920 has, in response to all of this,

00:35:10.140 announced they'll only be getting behind candidates

00:35:12.280 that are opposed to the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

00:35:16.080 I see, I guess they are blaming Schumer

00:35:18.220 for not being able to maintain control of his caucus

00:35:21.100 and keep the government shut down,

00:35:23.540 punishing the American people 0.98

00:35:24.780 in order to give Democrats more political leverage.

00:35:28.300 They're calling for every candidate in the Democrat primaries

00:35:32.080 to give a, quote,

00:35:33.400 clear commitment to abandon the status quo of reckless,

00:35:37.740 feckless leadership 1.00

00:35:38.640 and use every tool available to fight MAGA attacks

00:35:42.460 on our communities, our health, and our democracy.

00:35:46.520 The Indivisible organizer, a man named Ezra Levin,

00:35:50.040 says that Chuck Schumer

00:35:51.700 and a critical mass of Senate Democrats surrendered.

00:35:55.000 The Democrats had their best election night in over decades.

00:35:59.000 Poll shows Republicans were losing the shutdown fight

00:36:01.740 and their base turned out for the largest protest

00:36:04.300 in modern U.S. history.

00:36:06.140 They claimed the recent elections

00:36:07.640 were a resounding rejection of Trump and Republicans.

00:36:10.840 I disagree with that analysis.

00:36:12.820 What happened was an overwhelmingly Democrat city,

00:36:16.040 New York City,

00:36:16.600 elected a extremely radical Democrat mayor

00:36:21.320 by the smallest margin of any local previous Democrat mayor.

00:36:27.060 And Virginia and New Jersey,

00:36:29.120 both now reliably Democrat states,

00:36:32.480 elected Democrat governors.

00:36:34.760 So a reading that this was somehow a referendum

00:36:37.420 on Donald Trump

00:36:38.760 or a rejection of Republicanism

00:36:40.860 or the Republican policies of putting America first

00:36:43.720 is categorically in false.

00:36:46.480 Instead of standing,

00:36:48.200 the Senate Democrats surrendered,

00:36:50.640 according to their left wing.

00:36:52.940 And now you will see fratricide in the Democrat Party

00:36:57.180 as the progressive, more socialist left wing

00:37:02.120 takes out the corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer.

00:37:06.440 Chuck Schumer is scared to death that AOC, 1.00

00:37:09.580 a former bartender from the Bronx,

00:37:11.820 is going to challenge him

00:37:13.340 in the U.S. Senate primary in New York.

00:37:16.860 Based on the returns of the Democrat primary

00:37:19.780 between new socialist mayor-elect Zoran Mamdami

00:37:24.060 and former Governor Andrew Cuomo,

00:37:27.400 if AOC does challenge Chuck Schumer,

00:37:31.560 Chuck Schumer is toast.

00:37:34.260 This shows yet again

00:37:35.360 the Democrats have an extremism problem

00:37:37.360 that will just not go away.

00:37:39.500 Politicians like Schumer are not long for this world.

00:37:43.060 They'll eventually be ousted and disgraced

00:37:45.280 if they don't slither away before that can happen.

00:37:48.920 Mamdamiism is the future of the Democrat Party, 1.00

00:37:51.420 and unless the Republicans can rise

00:37:53.960 to the challenge of defeating them,

00:37:55.800 it will eventually transform the country

00:37:57.660 from a constitutional republic

00:37:59.280 to a Marxist hellscape.

00:38:02.460 Meanwhile, the new statistics in Chicago

00:38:05.260 showed that Donald Trump has facilitated

00:38:08.160 a massive drop in crime

00:38:10.300 in the Windy City.

00:38:12.760 Ever since the launching of Operation Midway Blitz,

00:38:17.060 the president pointed out

00:38:18.520 that Chicago, Illinois,

00:38:20.040 despite all the radical opposition

00:38:21.780 and obstruction

00:38:22.820 from the mayor, Brandon Johnson,

00:38:26.200 has seen car theft, shootings,

00:38:28.800 robberies, violent crime,

00:38:30.200 and all crimes across the board

00:38:32.520 dropped dramatically.

00:38:33.980 Since the launch of the

00:38:35.200 Department of Homeland Security's

00:38:36.700 operation in Chicago,

00:38:38.120 shootings were down 35%,

00:38:39.800 robberies were down 41%,

00:38:42.000 and carjackings were down almost 50%.

00:38:44.940 This has been achieved

00:38:46.280 despite the extraordinary resistance

00:38:48.380 of Mayor J.B. Pritzker,

00:38:51.840 pardon me, Governor J.B. Pritzker,

00:38:53.800 and Mayor Brandon Johnson,

00:38:55.600 a man who has never seen this before

00:38:57.520 in politics,

00:38:58.480 a 6% approval rating.

00:39:01.300 Shows that Donald Trump is right

00:39:03.320 and that the crime

00:39:05.100 in our major cities,

00:39:06.340 like right here

00:39:07.100 in the District of Columbia,

00:39:08.600 where I must tell you

00:39:09.380 the city is cleaner

00:39:10.380 and safer than any time

00:39:12.360 that I've seen it previously,

00:39:14.140 can be achieved.

00:39:16.200 The Democrats claim

00:39:17.220 this is an invasion of some kind

00:39:19.220 when the president

00:39:20.140 is keeping his commitment

00:39:21.360 to restore law and order.

00:39:23.500 Thanks for joining us tonight

00:39:24.900 in the Stone Zone.
