00:00:56.060 The Stone Zone.

00:00:58.680 Entertaining and informative.

00:01:00.820 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:03.760 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:01:07.820 Well, pardon me if I find it amusing that the same critics who couldn't figure out

00:01:13.520 that Joe Biden was a veritable vegetable in diapers during his presidency

00:01:18.420 are now claiming, completely without foundation, that Donald Trump is seriously ill, declining,

00:01:25.780 and near death.

00:01:27.120 I must tell you, I was with the president in the Oval Office approximately 10 days ago.

00:01:32.760 And it's the exact same Donald Trump that I've known for almost 50 years.

00:01:38.120 He is in excellent health.

00:01:39.880 You saw the video of him playing golf over the Thanksgiving holiday.

00:01:44.020 You can see that he continues to be a scratch golfer, something that's tough if you're near death.

00:01:49.660 At the same time, the House Oversight Committee has produced the audios and videos of various Biden staffers

00:02:00.260 admitting that they rarely saw the president, that the president was non-compos mentis through most of his presidency.

00:02:08.200 This shows you the two-tiered justice system and the fakeness of the fake news.

00:02:15.420 Speaking of fake, Senator Cory Booker got married late last week.

00:02:19.700 He married a woman named Alexis Lewis.

00:02:22.960 This is fooling no one.

00:02:24.520 I think Senator Booker has gotten married sort of to push back against the many questions regarding his long bachelorhood,

00:02:32.460 but more importantly, to prepare for a campaign for president of the United States.

00:02:37.940 I wrote a book in 2020 called Spartacus, the real Cory Booker story.

00:02:44.060 The book didn't do that well because, well, he was running for president in 2020, and he didn't do that well.

00:02:50.160 I'm going to republish that book because the highlight of it is the fact that as the mayor of Newark, New Jersey,

00:02:58.420 Cory Booker embezzled $200,000 from the city of Newark Water Authority called Watershed.

00:03:06.340 It was laundered through his law firm.

00:03:09.020 He claimed when this became public that he did not cast a vote as an ex-officio member of the Water Authority

00:03:17.860 in favor of the $200,000 payment to his own law firm.

00:03:21.980 But I got the minutes from the meeting.

00:03:24.180 It's a public record showing he was not only president, but he voted yes.

00:03:28.220 When he was confronted with the $200,000 heist, Senator Booker first said it was a buyout from his law partners.

00:03:37.140 Then he said it was deferred compensation.

00:03:39.840 It became pretty clear it was what you call a bribe.

00:03:43.220 In all honesty, I think Cory Booker will do about as well as he did in 2020 in his presidential bid.

00:03:49.660 But there you have it.

00:03:51.440 It was Friday morning that I sent President Trump a nine-page letter from former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez

00:04:01.860 in which he made the compelling case that he essentially had been framed by the Biden Justice Department.

00:04:10.360 Here was a president of Honduras who had gotten international acclaim for fighting drug trafficking,

00:04:17.020 but based solely on the testimony of two convicted drug traffickers,

00:04:23.400 drug traffickers who were prosecuted and convicted during the presidency of Juan Orlando Hernandez,

00:04:30.600 Hernandez was put on trial in New York City in the Southern District of New York.

00:04:35.640 Now, I read the entire trial transcript before I decided to send President Trump this letter.

00:04:42.300 I found it very curious that the defense attorney for President Hernandez became ill during his trial

00:04:50.620 and suddenly arbitrarily cut off all communications with his client.

00:04:56.140 And then the court-appointed defense attorney functioned more like one of the prosecutors than he did a defense attorney.

00:05:03.940 So the bottom line of this remains the same.

00:05:06.520 The mainstream media hates this, but I'll publish a longer piece about it.

00:05:11.760 Juan Orlando Hernandez was framed.

00:05:15.560 So for those in the mainstream media who say,

00:05:18.240 oh, Trump is fighting the Marxist narco drug traffickers in Venezuela,

00:05:24.380 yet he's turned around and pardoned a guy who was convicted of drug trafficking,

00:05:29.880 that conviction is a fugazi.

00:05:32.600 It's a fraud.

00:05:33.640 It was a frame by the exact same people who tried to frame Donald Trump for Russian collusion.

00:05:40.260 The same people who tried to frame him in the January 6th matter.

00:05:43.880 The same people who tried to frame him in connection with his perfectly legal retention of presidential documents,

00:05:51.640 which under the Presidential Records Act, he was entitled to hold on to.

00:05:55.720 So this is an act of justice and mercy.

00:05:59.640 The president has done the right thing.

00:06:01.140 USA Today, The Washington Post, Politico, a number of other reporters calling me even as we speak about this matter.

00:06:10.920 But instead of talking to them, I'm talking to you right now in the Stone Zone.

00:06:15.800 If you've just tuned in, strap in because we've got some more politics for you.

00:06:20.800 I thought it was pretty funny when Governor Tim Walsh, this guy is as weird as they come.

00:06:26.780 Tampon Tim.

00:06:27.680 The idea of Tampon Tim calling President Trump weird when the guy walks around and jumps around like a fruitcake is really strange.

00:06:35.940 But he, over the weekend, said that President Donald Trump, once again, he's slipping mentally and physically.

00:06:42.440 That's a lie.

00:06:43.720 And that Trump had mentioned in a press conference that he had had an MRI examination.

00:06:49.140 So, Walsh demanded that Trump make the MRI investigation test results public.

00:06:56.500 This afternoon, the president made those results public.

00:06:59.600 He had a normal result from the test.

00:07:03.900 Shows no deterioration whatsoever in Trump's physical or mental health.

00:07:08.940 Perhaps Tampon Tim is trying to cover up for the fact that over 400 employees with the Minnesota Department of Human Services have blown the whistle against the Minnesota governor, confirming that he repeatedly ignored warnings about a $250 million fraud, and that he tried to retaliate against whistleblowers to shut them up about what is now known as the Somalian Medicaid fraud scandal.

00:07:34.540 These Department of Human Services workers are now sticking out through their ex-account, accusing Walsh, along with a number of other elected lawmakers in the Democrat Farm Labor Party of Minnesota, with ignoring and suppressing the fraud scandal in an attempt to protect their Somalian political cronies, who have become an important constituency amidst the demographic replacement plan, of which Minneapolis is a key center.

00:08:02.900 The U.S. Justice Department recently announced that a 78th defendant has now been charged in the Feeding Our Future scandal, in which federal prosecutors allege there was over $250 million in fraudulent claims to a federal child nutrition program.

00:08:21.540 Over 50 people have already been convicted, and money from the scandal has actually been traced to the infamous Al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia.

00:08:31.160 This is a massive scandal, and the Stone Zone salutes those historic whistleblowers for speaking out.

00:08:39.040 More need to join them, and Tampon Tim actually needs to be held to account.

00:08:44.060 President Trump recently called him the R-word, regardless of whatever affliction he may have.

00:08:50.000 It looks to me like Tim Walsh is the guy who belongs behind bars.

00:08:54.020 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has sent warships to the Caribbean as part of his maximum pressure campaign on Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

00:09:03.540 Right now, this involves 11 ships and 15,000 U.S. troops.

00:09:08.980 They will continue the strikes against Venezuelan drug boats and send a strong message that Maduro's days as a dictator and a Marxist-ernarco-drug chapter are numbered.

00:09:20.780 Over the weekend, President Trump stated that the airspace over Venezuela will be closed in the very near future,

00:09:27.380 and he told Maduro in a phone conversation that he must abdicate now if he wishes to survive.

00:09:34.780 Maduro reportedly begged for amnesty for President Trump, which was not granted.

00:09:39.620 Well, we should be careful about any protracted, endless foreign war that involves regime change war in Venezuela,

00:09:48.820 which is not what I think President Trump is pursuing.

00:09:51.180 President Trump's muscular policies in the region are achieving serious results in Latin America,

00:09:57.760 and this is, therefore, a bulk work against communism in our hemisphere.

00:10:02.820 I would point out that in Honduras, in the wake of President Trump's historic announcement that he would pardon the former President Juan Orlando Hernandez,

00:10:13.220 the national party led by Tito Aspera, the pro-U.S. anti-communist, anti-drug trafficker candidate in Venezuela,

00:10:23.500 won yesterday's general election in Honduras.

00:10:26.920 Now, it's interesting to me that the central accounting bureau there, controlled by the current Marxist government,

00:10:34.260 has refused so far to certify the fact that Aspera won, but this is a very positive development in this hemisphere.

00:10:43.480 President Trump has maximum pressure on the Venezuelans, and before long, I think Maduro will be gone.

00:10:50.720 But he has also now moved aggressively to ensure that Honduras does not become another outpost for the narco-Marxist chapters,

00:11:00.200 and that the pro-China governments in our hemisphere, which right now consists of Venezuela, Honduras, and Cuba, remain limited.

00:11:12.700 Maduro must go.

00:11:14.120 There are some, like my friend Laura Loomer and others, who argue that perhaps we could make a deal to keep Maduro in place

00:11:21.740 if only Chevron is allowed to keep their very, very lucrative oil leases in the country.

00:11:28.880 This is crony capitalism at its worth.

00:11:32.100 I'm opposed, and I think Maduro must go.

00:11:34.760 But I don't see this, once again, it's kind of like Trump's strategic strike against the nuclear weapons development program in Iran.

00:11:45.320 I think this will be a limited engagement in which we achieve our strategic goals, and we withdraw.

00:11:51.500 Meanwhile, China is creating a pact to try to develop rare earth minerals,

00:11:56.160 and they're attempting to leave the United States in the lurch.

00:12:00.300 Because of bad trade deals and bad policies in the past,

00:12:04.380 China, unfortunately, has become the worldwide leader in rare earth minerals

00:12:08.620 and important in the development of technological components.

00:12:12.100 For example, the chip in your cell phone.

00:12:14.860 Perfect example.

00:12:15.980 Chinese Premier Li Xiang made the announcement of what they're calling

00:12:18.960 an International Economic and Trade Cooperation Initiative on Green Minerals.

00:12:24.120 At least 19 nations, including Cambodia, Nigeria, Miramar, and Zimbabwe,

00:12:31.500 under the jurisdiction of the U.N. Industrial Development Organization,

00:12:36.420 are expected to participate in this alliance,

00:12:38.820 which is designed to keep China's wayside under sleepy Joe Biden's presidency.

00:12:44.340 And he continues to use tariffs as a weapon that can bring China to heel

00:12:48.800 at a time when the U.S. must reassert its dominance to change long, persistent imbalances

00:12:54.620 in our trade policies.

00:12:56.240 If you're just tuning in, I'm Roger Stone.

00:14:24.200 The Stone Zone.

00:14:26.180 Entertaining and informative.

00:14:28.200 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:31.260 Welcome back into The Stone Zone.

00:14:34.260 Am I the only one who noticed this?

00:14:35.980 So, Ramanula Lakawal, the man who was accused of shooting and killing one of two U.S. Army National Guardsmen,

00:14:46.440 specifically killing Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20 years old,

00:14:50.720 and seriously wounding Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe,

00:14:54.160 doctors now tell us that Wolfe, thank God, will survive,

00:14:57.880 previously worked for the Central Intelligence Agency.

00:15:01.340 In fact, he was trained extensively by them.

00:15:04.920 But he actually entered the United States in 2021 as part of the evacuation of Afghanis

00:15:14.940 after Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:15:19.120 So, by law, this individual had one year to apply for asylum,

00:15:25.940 but he didn't apply, and the one year ran out.

00:15:31.000 He didn't get asylum until 2024, three years after it was legally too late to be granted asylum.

00:15:38.480 Nothing yells CIA operative other than special treatment.

00:15:44.180 Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to Russia,

00:15:47.660 and then suddenly he was back in the United States and had somehow magically reclaimed his citizenship?

00:15:54.460 Like I say, nothing screams CIA operative like special treatment.

00:16:01.140 Pardon me if I'm skeptical, but I don't think it's coincidental that Senator Slotkin from Michigan

00:16:06.600 formerly worked for the CIA.

00:16:09.080 She's one of those who called on American service members to ignore orders from the commander-in-chief

00:16:14.580 if they deemed those orders to be illegal.

00:16:18.680 And she is aided by that by Congressman Goodlander of New Hampshire,

00:16:23.560 who happens to be the wife of Jake Sullivan,

00:16:28.940 one of the major architects of the Russian collusion hoax.

00:16:33.740 Hmm.

00:16:34.460 Is this a coincidence, or are we about to have a color revolution,

00:16:39.320 as my good friend General Flynn hands?

00:16:41.300 Something very dark is afoot in America.

00:16:43.440 There are those who cannot stand the results of the 2024 election,

00:16:49.580 and the fact that Donald Trump is determined to put in place policies

00:16:53.740 to reassert our sovereignty, to reassert our constitutional integrity,

00:16:59.360 and to make America great again.

00:17:01.940 Something very dark is about to happen in America.

00:17:04.840 If you heard my great interview with General Michael Flynn this weekend,

00:17:08.640 you would know that we're right about this.

00:17:10.820 In the meantime, I'll ask the open question.

00:17:14.600 It has now been many months since the Director of National Intelligence,

00:17:19.100 Tulsi Gabbard, exposed John Brennan, James Comey,

00:17:24.020 General James Clapper, Vice President Joe Biden,

00:17:27.380 President Barack Obama himself in the Russian collusion hoax,

00:17:31.380 the greatest single dirty trick in abuse of power

00:17:34.240 in which they used totally fabricated evidence

00:17:36.840 to try to frame and remove Donald Trump from office.

00:17:40.300 And I ask this question to my friends over at the Department of Justice.

00:17:44.580 Is anyone going to be held accountable?

00:17:47.900 Is anyone going to be prosecuted for this act of seditious conspiracy and treason?

00:17:54.280 Until they are, Republicans cannot expect to win

00:17:57.280 a second round of congressional elections in 2026.

00:18:01.220 We're waiting, and we're waiting patiently

00:18:03.540 to see whether anyone will be held accountable.

00:18:06.560 I'm Roger Stone.

00:18:08.060 You're listening to The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Audio Network.

00:18:10.540 Welcome back to The Stone Zone.

00:18:23.140 I'm Roger Stone.

00:18:24.540 Well, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

00:18:26.820 is finally starting to feel the heat.

00:18:29.040 After years as the golden boy of the globalists,

00:18:32.040 the former actor-comedian thought he could do no wrong.

00:18:35.140 Zelensky thought he could embezzle millions of our tax dollars,

00:18:37.980 spend it on his vices, such as his cocaine habit,

00:18:41.800 enrich his cronies, yet send his own people to the front line

00:18:45.380 to be chopped up in the meat grinder of the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:18:49.440 This disgusting charade has gone on for far too long,

00:18:52.560 but it appears to me that it's finally come to an end

00:18:54.660 as the people both in Ukraine and the United States

00:18:57.620 are sick of this cocaine-fueled dwarf's corrupt antics.

00:19:02.660 Zelensky's chief of staff, Andrew Yermak,

00:19:05.200 resigned last week as part of the anti-corruption investigation

00:19:09.180 searching his home.

00:19:11.060 This may be part of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's investigation

00:19:13.540 into $100 million that was embezzled in Ukraine.

00:19:19.380 Think Hunter Biden and Burisma on steroids.

00:19:22.960 Businessman Timir Mindich is at the center of this scandal.

00:19:26.120 Mindich reportedly blew through the money he received

00:19:28.520 as part of his $100 million tax dollars.

00:19:32.200 He actually spent his money on a gold-plated toilet.

00:19:36.100 I kid you not.

00:19:37.020 Now, he and Zelensky go way back,

00:19:38.800 as they were partners in the entertainment industry for years,

00:19:41.180 before Zelensky divested in the company to become president.

00:19:44.800 But the two men remained extremely close.

00:19:46.880 It's no longer plausible that Zelensky is unrelated

00:19:49.720 to all his corruption surrounding him.

00:19:51.220 Without a shadow of doubt, he's actually the kingpin of all of it.

00:19:54.480 Even in this position, Zelensky still drags his heels

00:19:57.520 on agreeing to President Trump's peace deal,

00:19:59.720 which is more than generous to this diminutive little fraudster.

00:20:04.020 If Zelensky does not come to terms with an agreement soon,

00:20:06.660 he will lose aid from the United States,

00:20:08.680 and there will be nothing stopping his country

00:20:10.200 from total defeat in the war against Russia.

00:20:12.520 And then the people will ultimately come for Zelensky themselves.

00:20:15.960 Meanwhile, the charges against New York Attorney General

00:20:19.500 Letitia James were dismissed,

00:20:22.860 but dismissed on a technicality.

00:20:24.860 Three different federal judges violated the Constitution and the law

00:20:29.540 to give Letitia James a temporary walk.

00:20:33.080 But after her mortgage fraud case was shamefully thrown out

00:20:35.700 over these technicalities,

00:20:37.160 New York Attorney General Letitia James got hit with a bar complaint

00:20:41.060 over her alleged criminal acts.

00:20:43.020 The Center to Advance Security in America

00:20:45.160 submitted the complaint to the Manhattan and Bronx-focused

00:20:48.420 Attorney Grievance Committee,

00:20:50.300 urging them to launch an investigation

00:20:52.000 into potential illegal and dishonest conduct

00:20:54.620 committed by the New York Attorney General Big Tish

00:20:57.160 in regard to his suspicious mortgages.

00:20:59.540 The Center's Director of Research and Policy,

00:21:01.720 Curtis Shuby, wrote,

00:21:03.480 Fraud, misrepresentation, dishonesty,

00:21:06.860 and trustworthiness are all factors

00:21:08.440 that the rules of professional conduct

00:21:10.420 expressly factor in

00:21:11.580 when whether or not to discipline an attorney.

00:21:14.800 The committee, therefore,

00:21:15.800 should immediately investigate the allegations

00:21:17.500 against Letitia James.

00:21:18.820 And if by preponderance of evidence

00:21:21.320 all allegations are substantiated,

00:21:23.800 she should be disciplined accordingly.

00:21:26.040 James had been indicted on October 9th

00:21:28.520 after alleged committing mortgage fraud,

00:21:30.280 falsifying information on documents

00:21:32.300 in order to receive a $109,600 mortgage

00:21:37.360 on a property in Norfolk, Virginia

00:21:38.960 that she claimed was her primary legal residence.

00:21:43.600 This allegedly allowed James

00:21:45.540 to commit a $19,000 advantage

00:21:48.820 ill-gotten gains over the mortgage.

00:21:50.960 Even though James claimed

00:21:52.120 that the Norfolk residence

00:21:53.040 was an investment property later

00:21:54.740 and not her primary residence,

00:21:56.860 in four separate disclosures

00:21:58.120 to the New York State Commission on Ethics

00:21:59.880 and Lobby and Government,

00:22:01.000 a Clinton-appointed judge

00:22:02.220 threw out the charge

00:22:03.080 despite the fact that this actually,

00:22:04.960 based on the evidence,

00:22:06.220 being an open and shut case.

00:22:08.460 This is how deep the deep state

00:22:10.060 will go to protect his own,

00:22:11.400 but we shall see what happens next.

00:22:14.360 Although the Attorney General,

00:22:16.100 Pam Bondi,

00:22:16.740 and the FBI Director,

00:22:18.240 Cash Patel,

00:22:19.280 announced that the charges

00:22:21.240 would be refiled,

00:22:23.360 that remains to be seen.

00:22:25.520 Meanwhile,

00:22:26.440 three different federal judges

00:22:28.120 violated the law

00:22:29.100 and the Constitution

00:22:29.920 to give both James Comey,

00:22:31.900 the FBI Director,

00:22:33.240 and Letitia James a pass.

00:22:35.800 Once again,

00:22:36.700 overwhelming evidence

00:22:37.660 of the two-tiered justice system

00:22:39.940 that I'm all too familiar with.

00:22:41.900 President Trump

00:22:42.740 has a monumental task at hand

00:22:44.660 in draining the federal swamp.

00:22:46.300 As we learned

00:22:46.960 during his first administration,

00:22:48.580 personnel is policy.

00:22:50.900 Many swamp rats

00:22:51.780 were able to worm their way

00:22:53.140 into his first administration,

00:22:55.000 such as National Security Advisor

00:22:56.900 H.R. McMaster,

00:22:58.640 John Bolton,

00:22:59.560 who also has been indicted

00:23:01.240 for illegally possessing

00:23:04.060 classified documents,

00:23:05.820 General John Kelly,

00:23:07.020 you remember him,

00:23:07.600 he's the guy who made up

00:23:09.240 the suckers and losers claim,

00:23:11.380 claiming that President Trump

00:23:12.960 had referred to veterans

00:23:15.020 who gave their life

00:23:15.880 in service to their country

00:23:16.880 as suckers and losers.

00:23:18.740 The problem is that

00:23:19.680 at the time that Kelly claimed

00:23:21.920 that Trump said this,

00:23:22.920 there were nine other individuals

00:23:24.360 present.

00:23:25.320 Not a single one could

00:23:26.500 or would corroborate the claim.

00:23:28.760 That's because it's false.

00:23:30.340 And there was Mike Pompeo,

00:23:32.000 General Mad Dog Mattis,

00:23:33.680 and others.

00:23:34.200 They impeded

00:23:34.980 the America First agenda,

00:23:36.220 and they tried to derail

00:23:37.460 the Trump presidency

00:23:38.600 at every possible term.

00:23:40.500 The new administration

00:23:41.860 has been drastically better

00:23:43.320 in terms of personnel,

00:23:44.440 but some have still

00:23:45.280 been able to sneak

00:23:46.600 past the goalie,

00:23:47.720 such as the SEC's

00:23:49.500 Director of Enforcement,

00:23:50.700 a guy named Sam Walton.

00:23:51.940 Now, Walton is a multi-time

00:23:53.840 Biden-Harris donor,

00:23:55.440 even donating to

00:23:56.480 Kamala Harris' campaign

00:23:58.200 just two days

00:23:59.220 before the 2024 election.

00:24:01.380 Walton is a highly

00:24:02.380 partisan zealot,

00:24:03.420 masquerading as some kind

00:24:04.860 of a neutral enforcer.

00:24:06.440 Sam Walton was a key

00:24:08.200 architect of the

00:24:09.300 bear Biden-era assault

00:24:11.140 on then-chair

00:24:13.040 Gary Gensler's

00:24:14.380 concerted effort

00:24:16.260 to destroy

00:24:16.940 the cryptocurrency industry.

00:24:19.140 It was actually Walton

00:24:20.500 who drove

00:24:20.980 high-profile cases

00:24:22.060 against Coinbase,

00:24:23.540 Binance,

00:24:24.140 and Justin Sun

00:24:25.160 weaponizing regulations

00:24:26.380 to stifle innovation

00:24:27.940 and consolidate power

00:24:29.100 in the hands

00:24:30.000 of big,

00:24:30.860 centralized government.

00:24:32.120 Sam Walton's actions

00:24:33.700 reek of conflict,

00:24:34.740 so you wonder,

00:24:35.300 how could he be

00:24:35.800 in the number two position

00:24:37.980 in the Securities

00:24:40.140 and Exchange Commission?

00:24:41.460 This is a guy

00:24:42.060 who's pushing

00:24:42.560 enforcement priorities

00:24:43.560 in a line with his

00:24:44.440 leftist anti-innovation

00:24:46.540 and anti-digital

00:24:47.580 asset stance.

00:24:48.760 President Trump himself

00:24:49.740 is a crypto billionaire.

00:24:51.600 Walton, if he could,

00:24:52.480 would likely throw

00:24:53.080 President Trump in prison

00:24:54.200 for his wise

00:24:55.380 crypto investments.

00:24:56.660 Walton should be

00:24:57.280 removed from the

00:24:57.960 administration and placed

00:24:58.920 in his important role

00:25:00.300 at the SEC

00:25:00.840 with an individual

00:25:01.560 who's firmly in line

00:25:02.700 with President Trump's

00:25:04.440 pro-crypto agenda.

00:25:06.700 Meanwhile,

00:25:07.300 the Department of Justice

00:25:08.360 is being investigated

00:25:09.660 for its ties to something

00:25:10.740 called the

00:25:11.240 Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:25:13.260 House Judiciary Committee

00:25:14.220 Chairman Jim Jordan

00:25:15.940 wants to see

00:25:16.740 internal documents

00:25:17.780 from the Department of Justice

00:25:19.320 showing the extent

00:25:20.900 of the relationship

00:25:21.900 between the Department of Justice

00:25:24.080 and the far-left

00:25:25.840 Southern Poverty Law Center

00:25:27.840 during the Biden administration.

00:25:28.940 Now, the Southern Poverty Law Center

00:25:30.900 is an Antifa-type

00:25:32.340 propaganda front.

00:25:33.800 It's mostly a scam

00:25:35.400 that defrauds

00:25:36.860 little old ladies

00:25:37.880 and well-meaning liberals

00:25:39.040 who send millions of dollars

00:25:40.800 in small donations,

00:25:42.660 but they publish a list

00:25:44.640 in which anyone

00:25:45.540 who is a mainstream conservative

00:25:48.440 or a Trump supporter

00:25:49.660 is demonized

00:25:50.620 as a Nazi,

00:25:52.080 as a white nationalist,

00:25:53.460 as a racist,

00:25:54.740 or an anti-Semite.

00:25:55.960 The Southern Poverty Law Center

00:25:57.520 is a go-to resource

00:25:59.260 for Antifa thugs

00:26:00.680 and other left-wing dregs

00:26:02.880 to find targets

00:26:04.080 when they go on the hunt

00:26:05.020 against their political enemies.

00:26:06.440 The Southern Poverty Law Center

00:26:07.860 even included

00:26:08.400 Turning Point USA

00:26:09.420 on their so-called

00:26:11.140 hate list,

00:26:12.140 removing it

00:26:12.840 in disgrace

00:26:13.940 after the assassination

00:26:15.000 of the group's founder,

00:26:16.500 my good friend,

00:26:17.660 Charlie Kirk.

00:26:18.500 Congressman Jim Jordan

00:26:19.700 issued a letter

00:26:20.400 to Attorney General Pam Bondi

00:26:21.880 notifying her

00:26:22.780 that his committee

00:26:23.860 is continuing

00:26:24.540 to investigate

00:26:25.340 the Biden-Harris

00:26:26.680 Department of Justices

00:26:27.700 and the FBI's

00:26:28.980 weaponization

00:26:29.920 of federal law enforcement

00:26:31.040 resources

00:26:31.620 against conservative-minded Americans.

00:26:34.340 Congressman Jordan

00:26:35.040 believes that Bondi's

00:26:36.060 predecessor,

00:26:37.260 Biden Attorney General,

00:26:39.160 Merrick Garland,

00:26:40.200 colluded with

00:26:40.760 the radical left-wing

00:26:41.680 Southern Poverty Law Center

00:26:43.260 on matters relating

00:26:44.160 to federal civil rights enforcement.

00:26:46.980 Chairman Jordan

00:26:47.700 cited records obtained

00:26:48.800 once again

00:26:49.600 by America First Legal

00:26:50.900 indicating that the DOPJ's

00:26:52.680 Civil Rights Division

00:26:54.100 regularly met

00:26:54.820 with the

00:26:55.500 Southern Poverty Law Center

00:26:56.700 staffers sharing with them

00:26:57.860 privileged and confidential

00:26:59.620 government data

00:27:00.480 and let the

00:27:01.540 Southern Poverty Law Center

00:27:02.720 operatives

00:27:03.160 train federal prosecutors.

00:27:05.380 FBI Director

00:27:06.060 Kash Patel

00:27:06.780 very wisely cut

00:27:07.700 all times

00:27:08.460 with the

00:27:08.900 Southern Poverty Law Center

00:27:10.280 and their sister organization

00:27:11.500 the Anti-Defamation League

00:27:13.760 which is most definitely

00:27:15.260 not about defamation.

00:27:16.560 That's a good start

00:27:17.380 but it must be followed

00:27:18.220 with indictments

00:27:19.020 past time

00:27:20.060 for these subversive

00:27:20.780 conspirators

00:27:21.340 to be thrown in jail

00:27:22.220 after getting

00:27:23.160 a fair trial

00:27:23.860 of course.

00:27:24.760 It's not enough

00:27:25.240 to expose

00:27:25.840 the treasonous acts

00:27:26.840 and stop federal

00:27:27.600 cooperation

00:27:28.140 with these groups

00:27:29.680 that advocate

00:27:30.380 hate,

00:27:31.500 mayhem,

00:27:32.460 and terrorism.

00:27:33.160 It's time for

00:27:33.720 real accountability.

00:27:35.000 Heads must roll

00:27:35.960 in fast

00:27:36.540 or we're never

00:27:37.060 going to restore

00:27:37.740 the Constitution

00:27:38.360 in this country.

00:27:40.060 Meanwhile,

00:27:40.680 White House Treasury

00:27:41.300 Secretary Scott Besson

00:27:42.860 who I think is

00:27:44.180 among President Trump's

00:27:45.920 very best appointees,

00:27:47.580 probably the greatest

00:27:49.540 Treasury Secretary

00:27:50.420 since Andrew Mellon,

00:27:52.360 announced recently

00:27:53.320 the Trump administration

00:27:54.280 is hard at work

00:27:55.020 cutting off

00:27:55.520 all federal benefits

00:27:56.600 for anyone

00:27:57.580 who's in the country

00:27:58.700 illegally,

00:27:59.920 making it clear

00:28:00.620 that those who benefit,

00:28:02.540 those benefits,

00:28:03.940 pardon me,

00:28:04.580 are for lawful

00:28:05.600 American citizens only.

00:28:07.360 In a posting

00:28:08.200 on social media,

00:28:09.240 Besson said

00:28:09.780 at President Trump's

00:28:10.720 direction,

00:28:11.300 we're working

00:28:11.920 to cut off

00:28:12.520 federal benefits

00:28:13.220 to illegal aliens

00:28:14.220 and preserve them

00:28:15.160 for U.S. citizens.

00:28:17.060 The U.S. Treasury

00:28:17.680 announced that they

00:28:18.400 will issue

00:28:18.840 proposed regulations

00:28:20.000 clarifying that

00:28:21.360 the refunded portions

00:28:22.640 of certain individual

00:28:24.120 income tax benefits

00:28:25.180 are no longer available

00:28:26.520 to illegals

00:28:27.620 and other

00:28:28.100 non-qualified aliens,

00:28:30.180 covering the

00:28:30.780 earned income tax credit,

00:28:32.480 the additional

00:28:33.060 child tax credit,

00:28:34.880 and the American

00:28:35.560 Opportunity Tax Credit,

00:28:37.060 as well as

00:28:37.560 the Savers Match Credit.

00:28:40.340 Additionally,

00:28:40.960 President Trump

00:28:41.580 has vowed

00:28:42.220 to end all federal

00:28:43.360 benefits and subsidies

00:28:44.440 to non-citizens

00:28:46.400 of our country,

00:28:47.680 to denaturalize

00:28:48.880 migrants who

00:28:50.180 undermine

00:28:51.140 domestic tranquility,

00:28:52.760 and deport

00:28:53.200 any foreign national

00:28:54.320 who is a public

00:28:55.300 charge,

00:28:56.400 security risk,

00:28:57.460 or non-compatible

00:28:58.680 with our

00:28:59.100 Western civilization.

00:29:00.520 If you cannot

00:29:01.100 obey our laws,

00:29:02.480 if you are here

00:29:03.080 illegally,

00:29:03.980 you will be deported.

00:29:05.580 The left is screaming

00:29:06.380 about this,

00:29:07.000 but they ignore

00:29:07.520 the fact that

00:29:08.140 Barack Obama

00:29:08.860 deported 2.6 million

00:29:10.540 illegals

00:29:11.320 during his presidency.

00:29:12.620 All of this

00:29:13.120 comes in response

00:29:14.040 to the terrorist

00:29:15.020 shooting of

00:29:15.480 two National Guardsmen

00:29:18.180 or Guardsmen

00:29:19.200 and Women

00:29:19.620 in Washington,

00:29:20.400 D.C.,

00:29:20.960 as well as

00:29:21.960 the scandal

00:29:22.500 I spoke of

00:29:23.100 earlier in the program

00:29:24.080 of Somalis

00:29:25.020 in Minnesota

00:29:25.560 committing welfare fraud

00:29:26.860 to the tune

00:29:27.400 of $250-plus

00:29:29.500 million,

00:29:30.480 and then funneling

00:29:31.420 that money

00:29:31.960 back to

00:29:33.060 anti-American

00:29:33.860 terrorists

00:29:34.460 in their homeland

00:29:35.580 of Somalia.

00:29:36.760 President Trump

00:29:37.340 is doing an amazing

00:29:38.220 job on stopping

00:29:39.260 illegal immigration.

00:29:40.200 We have essentially

00:29:41.600 sealed our borders,

00:29:43.640 but eternal vigilance

00:29:45.500 is absolutely

00:29:47.280 a key

00:29:47.880 to stopping

00:29:48.420 the scourge.

00:29:49.820 We must continue

00:29:50.520 to deport

00:29:51.120 every single

00:29:52.160 illegal immigrant

00:29:52.940 before the end

00:29:53.580 of this administration.

00:29:54.980 Things are getting

00:29:55.500 increasingly violent

00:29:56.680 in New York City

00:29:57.540 as Antifa

00:29:58.880 and others

00:29:59.700 fight ICE agents,

00:30:01.280 and I predict

00:30:01.800 to you it's only

00:30:02.300 a matter of time

00:30:03.040 before President

00:30:04.360 Donald Trump

00:30:04.980 mobilizes the

00:30:06.000 National Guard

00:30:06.740 in the Big Apple.

00:30:08.220 You heard it here

00:30:09.360 first in the

00:30:10.360 Stone Zone.

00:30:11.120 Meanwhile,

00:30:11.680 President Trump

00:30:12.220 has yet again

00:30:13.360 reiterated his

00:30:14.340 desire to

00:30:14.960 completely and

00:30:15.680 totally eliminate

00:30:16.580 the federal

00:30:17.520 income tax.

00:30:18.940 Now here's an

00:30:19.480 issue that is

00:30:20.080 near and dear

00:30:20.960 to my heart.

00:30:21.820 President Trump

00:30:22.340 said yesterday

00:30:23.060 he hopes the

00:30:23.500 United States

00:30:23.880 can completely

00:30:24.560 get rid of

00:30:25.000 the federal

00:30:25.360 income tax

00:30:26.060 in the upcoming

00:30:27.460 years,

00:30:28.040 reiterating his

00:30:28.720 belief that

00:30:29.380 the revenues

00:30:30.100 brought in

00:30:31.060 through tariffs

00:30:31.680 should be enough

00:30:32.540 to end the

00:30:33.240 current system

00:30:33.940 of income taxes.

00:30:35.540 Now, we didn't

00:30:36.940 have a federal

00:30:37.700 income tax

00:30:38.360 until 1913.

00:30:40.640 Prior to that

00:30:41.280 time, under

00:30:42.140 presidents like

00:30:42.860 William McKinley,

00:30:44.180 we generated

00:30:45.420 more than enough

00:30:46.500 revenue from

00:30:47.160 tariffs to fund

00:30:49.060 the entire

00:30:49.820 federal government.

00:30:51.200 June of this

00:30:52.180 year was the

00:30:52.780 first year in

00:30:53.420 15 years,

00:30:54.560 probably the

00:30:54.980 first month in

00:30:55.640 15 years,

00:30:56.420 in which the

00:30:57.240 United States

00:30:57.920 actually ran

00:30:59.240 a surplus,

00:31:00.080 meaning we took

00:31:01.060 in more money

00:31:01.760 than the government

00:31:02.780 paid out.

00:31:04.020 The president

00:31:04.580 is right when

00:31:05.240 he says that

00:31:05.800 we are bringing

00:31:06.300 in billions

00:31:06.880 of dollars

00:31:07.400 more in

00:31:08.280 new revenues,

00:31:09.600 and he

00:31:11.020 actually could,

00:31:12.080 on paper at

00:31:12.820 least,

00:31:13.160 theoretically do

00:31:14.280 away entirely

00:31:15.320 with the

00:31:16.200 federal income

00:31:16.800 tax.

00:31:17.600 The president

00:31:18.000 has stated

00:31:18.660 on the

00:31:18.940 campaigns last

00:31:19.680 year when

00:31:20.360 he waxed

00:31:21.280 poetic about

00:31:21.880 the days of

00:31:22.540 America when

00:31:23.160 there was no

00:31:23.760 federal income

00:31:24.280 tax and hopes

00:31:25.600 to fund the

00:31:26.180 entire government

00:31:26.980 through tariff

00:31:27.620 income.

00:31:28.440 Getting rid

00:31:28.900 of income

00:31:29.280 taxes and

00:31:30.080 the IRS

00:31:30.700 would force

00:31:31.340 the government

00:31:31.700 to shrink

00:31:32.080 back to the

00:31:32.640 levels prescribed

00:31:33.680 by the

00:31:34.200 Constitution and

00:31:34.980 our founding

00:31:35.520 fathers,

00:31:36.060 as a matter

00:31:36.480 of fact.

00:31:37.380 So while he's

00:31:37.960 at it,

00:31:38.260 he also should

00:31:38.920 get rid of

00:31:39.360 the Federal

00:31:39.760 Reserve,

00:31:40.380 as far as I'm

00:31:40.940 concerned.

00:31:41.820 The president,

00:31:43.860 of course,

00:31:44.180 cannot just do

00:31:44.840 so by waving

00:31:45.500 a magic wand,

00:31:46.680 but he can

00:31:47.260 take substantial

00:31:48.020 measures to

00:31:48.760 undermine the

00:31:49.560 Federal Reserve,

00:31:50.720 the Internal

00:31:51.060 Revenue Service,

00:31:51.880 and other

00:31:52.340 toxic aspects

00:31:53.920 of the federal

00:31:54.960 bureaucracy.

00:31:56.040 This is what he

00:31:56.680 must do as the

00:31:57.640 enemy within

00:31:58.500 is a major

00:31:59.420 problem preventing

00:32:00.280 America's renewal.

00:32:01.620 In April,

00:32:03.360 when Jerome

00:32:04.380 Tulate Powell

00:32:05.500 is no longer

00:32:06.340 the chairman

00:32:06.920 of the Federal

00:32:07.460 Reserve Board,

00:32:08.760 Americans,

00:32:09.660 based on the

00:32:10.360 current inflation

00:32:11.980 rate and

00:32:12.700 unemployment rate,

00:32:13.820 will finally get

00:32:14.820 the deep cut

00:32:16.120 in interest rates

00:32:17.780 that we deserve.

00:32:19.240 And then this

00:32:20.360 economy will

00:32:21.460 actually cook.

00:32:22.820 For those who

00:32:23.500 say, oh,

00:32:24.000 Republicans will

00:32:24.820 lose the

00:32:25.460 midterm elections,

00:32:26.960 I say to you,

00:32:27.740 as a veteran of

00:32:28.440 American politics,

00:32:29.300 you spent 50 years

00:32:30.660 in the corroded

00:32:31.320 rectum of the

00:32:32.000 two-party system

00:32:32.840 that in American

00:32:34.160 politics, a

00:32:34.980 week is a

00:32:35.780 lifetime, and

00:32:36.920 therefore anyone

00:32:37.540 who wants to

00:32:38.180 count the

00:32:38.600 Republican Party

00:32:39.380 as reconstituted

00:32:40.160 by Donald Trump

00:32:40.880 out this early

00:32:42.080 is making a

00:32:42.920 horrific mistake.

00:32:44.440 In fact, I'll

00:32:45.380 go on record

00:32:45.880 right now to

00:32:46.500 predict that

00:32:46.980 there will be

00:32:47.440 gains.

00:32:48.420 Both Republicans

00:32:49.380 in the House

00:32:49.920 and the Senate

00:32:50.440 will actually

00:32:51.060 increase their

00:32:52.240 margin after the

00:32:53.100 last election

00:32:53.700 because the

00:32:54.920 economy of today

00:32:55.740 in which food

00:32:56.480 prices have come

00:32:57.320 down, but not

00:32:57.980 low enough,

00:32:58.800 gas prices have

00:32:59.620 come down, but

00:33:00.220 not low enough,

00:33:01.420 interest rates

00:33:02.440 have come down,

00:33:03.500 but not nearly

00:33:04.740 enough, and

00:33:05.580 housing is not

00:33:06.380 nearly as

00:33:07.080 plentiful nor

00:33:08.200 affordable as

00:33:08.900 it should be.

00:33:09.640 All of these

00:33:10.360 things will

00:33:10.880 improve based

00:33:12.560 on the massive

00:33:13.360 tax cut and

00:33:14.320 regulatory cuts

00:33:15.300 of President

00:33:16.140 Donald Trump

00:33:16.720 plus the

00:33:17.260 infusion of

00:33:18.520 new revenues

00:33:19.200 from tariffs.

00:33:20.260 So don't be

00:33:21.320 a panicking.

00:33:22.500 The best is

00:33:23.360 yet to come.

00:33:24.620 I'm Roger Stone.

00:33:34.800 Canada can be

00:33:35.920 a global leader

00:33:36.720 in reducing the

00:33:37.680 harm caused by

00:33:38.500 smoking, but it

00:33:39.600 requires actionable

00:33:40.820 steps.

00:33:41.860 Now is the time to

00:33:42.840 modernize Canadian

00:33:43.860 laws so that adult

00:33:45.940 information and

00:33:46.840 access to better

00:33:47.860 alternatives.

00:33:48.880 By doing so, we

00:33:50.000 can create lasting

00:33:51.040 change.

00:33:52.040 If you don't

00:33:52.700 smoke, don't

00:33:53.660 start.

00:33:54.460 If you smoke,

00:33:55.440 quit.

00:33:56.120 If you don't

00:33:56.980 quit, change.

00:34:49.100 entertaining and

00:34:50.840 informative on the

00:34:51.980 Red Apple Podcast

00:34:53.220 Network.

00:34:54.560 Welcome back to the

00:34:56.140 Stone Zone.

00:34:56.900 I'm your genial host,

00:34:58.700 Roger Stone.

00:34:59.560 We recently lamented

00:35:00.980 the demise of the

00:35:02.660 penny.

00:35:03.080 The U.S. Mint will

00:35:03.860 no longer be producing

00:35:05.540 the penny as producing

00:35:07.120 the simple penny turns

00:35:08.280 out to cost $3.87

00:35:10.800 per piece.

00:35:12.360 So President Donald

00:35:13.180 Trump announced that

00:35:13.940 its production was

00:35:14.680 stopped due to a lack

00:35:15.580 of economic viability.

00:35:17.080 Now it turns out the

00:35:17.980 next casualty of

00:35:19.020 modernity may be the

00:35:20.460 nickel, which due to

00:35:21.940 big government

00:35:22.420 regulations and

00:35:23.460 inflation is even

00:35:24.500 more of a loser for

00:35:26.080 the American taxpayer

00:35:26.920 than the penny was.

00:35:27.960 The U.S.

00:35:28.460 nickel, which has

00:35:29.540 been the Mint's

00:35:30.520 quiet nightmare, the

00:35:32.020 raw melt of these

00:35:32.940 coins is very simple

00:35:33.940 math, now actually

00:35:35.080 costs $13.78 to

00:35:38.340 produce and

00:35:39.120 distribute.

00:35:39.780 So it's actually

00:35:40.400 worth more as scrap

00:35:41.840 than it is as money.

00:35:43.480 This is a financial

00:35:44.400 loss per coin.

00:35:45.400 This has been

00:35:45.780 transpiring since

00:35:46.540 2006, exposing our

00:35:48.620 government's relentless

00:35:49.680 fiscal waste.

00:35:51.060 So the humble nickel

00:35:51.760 has become a casualty

00:35:53.220 of the green energy

00:35:54.500 boom, with surging

00:35:55.760 costs of material

00:35:56.880 stemming from

00:35:57.620 skyrocketing prices

00:35:58.680 for its core metals.

00:36:00.540 The simple nickel is

00:36:01.620 75% copper and 25%

00:36:04.340 nickel, but this is

00:36:05.440 driven by global demand

00:36:06.820 in EV batteries, the

00:36:08.940 batteries for electric

00:36:10.060 vehicles.

00:36:10.560 With 67 million electric

00:36:12.700 vehicles produced

00:36:13.480 worldwide to date,

00:36:15.120 that's through the

00:36:16.160 third quarter of

00:36:17.180 2025, $7.3 million

00:36:19.160 of these electric

00:36:20.380 vehicles in 2024 alone,

00:36:22.360 and 20 million more

00:36:23.680 electric vehicles

00:36:24.600 projected for 2025,

00:36:26.620 this is burning

00:36:27.240 millions of taxpayer

00:36:28.260 dollars all the while

00:36:29.180 purchasing power of

00:36:30.120 this coin dwindles to

00:36:31.660 near worklessness.

00:36:32.820 In other words, the

00:36:33.580 cost of nickel and

00:36:35.440 copper to be used in

00:36:36.620 those vehicles is being

00:36:37.820 driven beyond reach.

00:36:39.800 So to clearly contrast,

00:36:41.240 a profit is possible.

00:36:42.440 Dimes cost just $5.76

00:36:44.760 to make, but they

00:36:46.480 carry a 10 cent face

00:36:47.980 value, delivering them

00:36:49.380 in a tidy $4.24

00:36:52.180 profit per coin.

00:36:54.740 The nickel's enduring

00:36:55.700 paradox, five cents in

00:36:57.320 name, nearly three times

00:36:58.720 that in cost, exposes

00:37:00.240 deeper governmental

00:37:01.320 dysfunction, while

00:37:02.380 commodity spikes and

00:37:03.660 legal rigidity beat

00:37:04.980 more common sense

00:37:05.980 driven solutions by using

00:37:07.300 cheaper metals or rounding

00:37:09.020 to 10 cents.

00:37:10.580 The nickel should join

00:37:11.760 the penny in obsolescence.

00:37:13.260 Its melt value actually

00:37:14.820 exceeds six cents and

00:37:16.340 phasing it out with

00:37:17.200 similar rounds to the

00:37:18.660 nearest dime could

00:37:19.560 reclaim tens of

00:37:20.900 millions of dollars more

00:37:21.860 for taxpayers.

00:37:22.880 Experts push for cash

00:37:24.220 back incentives or

00:37:25.200 slow elimination, but

00:37:26.300 Washington's tradition

00:37:27.500 is one out for now.

00:37:28.840 Every time you hear

00:37:29.580 nickels jingle in your

00:37:30.500 pocket, remember, real

00:37:32.020 fixes need Congress, not

00:37:33.300 taxpayer subsidy.

00:37:34.600 Until then, the nickel

00:37:35.640 will keep rolling at the

00:37:37.280 taxpayer's expense.

00:37:38.940 They got rid of the

00:37:40.340 penny.

00:37:41.080 The nickel is most

00:37:42.400 definitely next.

00:37:44.000 So now I have to tell

00:37:45.540 you, I never thought at my

00:37:46.740 tender age of 73 that I

00:37:48.780 would be a Garmento, but

00:37:51.380 this past week I rolled out

00:37:52.860 my very own custom design

00:37:54.960 menswear line.

00:37:56.480 You can find it online.

00:37:57.980 I was immediately

00:37:59.020 attacked by people who

00:38:00.480 don't understand my look,

00:38:01.960 the classic silhouette of

00:38:04.060 Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Clark

00:38:07.080 Gable, Gary Cooper, the

00:38:09.180 Prince of Wales, Edward

00:38:10.460 VIII, but I favor a

00:38:12.500 traditional Savile Row

00:38:14.720 British and American Ivy

00:38:16.800 League influence look, and

00:38:18.360 I've introduced my very own

00:38:19.840 clothing line.

00:38:20.680 It's not for everybody, but

00:38:22.280 it may be for you.

00:38:24.280 In the meantime, I

00:38:25.660 sustained ongoing attacks

00:38:27.620 online from a guy named

00:38:28.820 Derek Guy.

00:38:30.280 Well, that's not his real

00:38:31.320 name.

00:38:32.020 He's actually a short,

00:38:33.020 dumpy Chinese guy.

00:38:34.760 He actually uses a picture

00:38:35.820 of Elliot Richardson, who

00:38:37.300 was an extraordinarily

00:38:38.000 handsome guy, served as

00:38:39.700 attorney general under

00:38:40.600 Richard Nixon, in his

00:38:41.980 profile, and Derek Guy,

00:38:44.360 that's a made-up name.

00:38:46.260 But he's a guy who

00:38:47.760 actually advocates that

00:38:48.760 men wear skirts and

00:38:50.320 dresses, not the guy I

00:38:51.720 need telling me about how

00:38:52.980 to dress.
