00:01:00.600 The Stone Zone.

00:01:02.540 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:06.800 You are now entering the Stone Zone, where today you have a front row seat to history.

00:01:14.300 See, the mainstream media is flipping out, because last Friday, I forwarded a letter from former

00:01:23.260 Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez to President Donald Trump, making the case that

00:01:31.060 he had been the target of a fraudulent and deeply flawed federal prosecution designed to

00:01:39.360 remove him from office.

00:01:41.720 Does this sound familiar?

00:01:43.080 That caused me to read the entire transcript of his trial, in which the former president

00:01:49.780 of Honduras, a pro-U.S., pro-Trump, anti-drug trafficking leader in Central America, was framed

00:02:00.240 by the Justice Department of Joe Biden in order to get him out of the way.

00:02:05.620 I read the entire trial transcript.

00:02:07.880 I found two very curious things.

00:02:09.520 There was no physical evidence against Hernandez.

00:02:13.000 He was basically convicted on the basis of testimony from two convicted drug traffickers, both of

00:02:23.340 whom had been prosecuted by his administration in Honduras, and both of whom got a get-out-of-jail-free

00:02:31.220 card from the Biden Justice Department.

00:02:34.480 And while I'm at it, let me mention that I received zero in compensation regarding my efforts

00:02:41.580 on his behalf.

00:02:42.880 Frankly, having been in this particular meat grinder myself, and having seen how my trial

00:02:50.420 in Washington, D.C. was entirely rigged, I had enormous empathy for Juan Orlando Hernandez.

00:02:58.500 That's why I had his wife and his daughters on my show this past weekend, right here on

00:03:05.920 the Red Apple Audio Networks.

00:03:08.600 During the trial, a federal law enforcement agent claimed that drug trafficking increased

00:03:12.800 during Hernandez's time in office, when in fact it had decreased.

00:03:17.400 Drug trafficking decreased because of Hernandez's stepped-up efforts to fight drug trafficking.

00:03:23.200 Then, the Manhattan judge overseeing the case rejected his motion for a retrial.

00:03:29.660 After Hernandez's lawyers argued, the trial was tainted by false testimony from a law enforcement

00:03:35.360 agent who said cocaine trafficking went up in Honduras when it actually went down.

00:03:41.280 These are just a couple examples of the incredible corruption of this trial.

00:03:45.140 Yet, today, USA Today, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, CNN, of course, I don't get

00:03:54.840 my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet.

00:03:59.460 They're all claiming that there's some inconsistency that Donald Trump is fighting the narco traffickers

00:04:07.220 in Venezuela while he's pardoning a narco trafficker in Honduras.

00:04:13.600 The point is that Juan Orlando Hernandez is an innocent man who was framed by the same people

00:04:21.400 who tried to frame Donald Trump and who did successfully frame yours truly.

00:04:27.780 Even though the special counsel Robert Mueller's final report, which the Department of Justice

00:04:34.280 hid from my lawyers for years when it was ultimately unveiled based on the orders of a federal judge,

00:04:41.260 showed that the special counsel Robert Mueller had found no evidence of Russian collusion,

00:04:47.820 WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime on my part.

00:04:51.860 This information, of course, was withheld from my defense attorneys at trial.

00:04:56.380 So, pardon me if I don't think that not every conviction in the Southern District of New York,

00:05:04.320 or in Washington, D.C., for that matter, is accurate, true, or is came about on the basis

00:05:11.380 of actual facts and evidence.

00:05:15.260 In fact, I'd say just the opposite.

00:05:17.340 When you have a left-wing activist judge, essentially a Democrat activist in black robes,

00:05:24.600 the Constitution, the law, the evidence, the rules, the precedents, none of these things actually matter.

00:05:33.360 Meanwhile, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik from upstate New York is accusing the House Republican leadership

00:05:39.400 and Democrats of blocking her efforts to force transparency regarding extremely abusive deep state behavior 0.94

00:05:47.520 against President Trump and his top allies.

00:05:50.840 In a pair of fiery statements released on X, the upstate Congresswoman said that Republicans control Congress 0.99

00:05:57.800 in the White House, yet refused to support her proposal, which insists on transparency.

00:06:02.400 You see, Stefanik's legislation would require congressional disclosure

00:06:07.700 when one of these sprawling counter-espionage investigations are opened,

00:06:13.600 an accountability measure that she says is vital to prevent the future political abuses

00:06:19.000 of the intelligence community or the Department of Justice.

00:06:23.200 Stefanik tied her push to the origins of the Trump-Russian collusion investigation,

00:06:29.280 citing a 2017 hearing in which she questioned former FBI Director James Comey

00:06:35.980 about the launch of Crossfire Hurricane.

00:06:39.880 She noted that Comey admitted proper notification procedures to the Congress were not followed,

00:06:46.100 calling the episode a criminal act that can never happen again.

00:06:50.880 Stefanik also noted that with more recent abuses, such as the Arctic Frost wiretapping scandal,

00:06:57.240 that's the scandal in which it was learned that Special Counsel Jack Smith

00:07:01.680 was actively spying on Republican members of the Senate, Republican members of the House,

00:07:08.540 and key supporters of President Donald Trump, such as yours truly,

00:07:13.420 as well as New York's former mayor, Rudy Giuliani.

00:07:17.700 She also noted that the leaking of conversations involving Steve Whitcoff,

00:07:23.680 who is the president's special envoy who's working overtime to try to end the war between Russia

00:07:30.380 and Ukraine.

00:07:32.360 Stefanik says that her language has passed the House Intelligence Committee

00:07:36.260 in multiple Congresses, only to stall at this critical juncture.

00:07:42.240 Congresswoman Stefanik attended a closed briefing which confirmed her claims,

00:07:46.240 and then she called out Speaker Mike Johnson for siding with Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman,

00:07:52.620 as well as Eric Swalwell, to stop this simple provision.

00:07:57.140 Stefanik warned that she'll vote against defense and intelligence bills

00:08:00.920 until her language is restored to carrying them dead on arrival without it. 0.99

00:08:06.620 Stefanik's outspoken defense of transparency

00:08:09.120 and her willingness to call out spineless Republican leaders

00:08:12.920 show why I believe she's actually the right choice to be New York's upcoming governor.

00:08:18.100 I agree that we need to pressure Speaker Johnson and, frankly, all Republicans

00:08:22.500 to support these basic reforms, which are the bare minimum that's necessary

00:08:27.340 to ensure that nothing like the Russian collusion hoax ever happens again.

00:08:32.400 If there are no major indictments against deep state criminals that stick,

00:08:36.800 then there will be nothing stopping any future conspiracies from being hatched

00:08:40.660 and will never be able to trust the electoral process again.

00:08:45.160 Meanwhile, officials at the Department of War say that all options are on the table

00:08:49.920 in a growing investigation involving Senator Mark Kelly

00:08:53.560 and the rest of the so-called seditious six.

00:08:57.140 These are the Democrat members of Congress

00:08:59.660 who released a public video urging active-duty service members

00:09:04.080 not to follow, quote, illegal or unconstitutional orders

00:09:08.480 issued by the commander of chief.

00:09:11.140 That would be Donald Trump, of course.

00:09:13.240 The Department of War press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, said,

00:09:16.780 all options are on the table at this moment

00:09:18.860 and we look forward to getting the Secretary of the Navy's review.

00:09:22.620 And the Secretary of War has been very clear in his statements as well

00:09:26.440 that he takes this entire matter extremely seriously

00:09:29.140 and that these actions are unacceptable.

00:09:32.200 People were shocked last week when I revealed that Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona

00:09:38.620 hid his interest in a communist Chinese-controlled company

00:09:43.760 which made surveillance balloons.

00:09:47.180 That's right, the same kind of spy balloon

00:09:49.120 that President Joe Biden let float all the way across the country

00:09:52.920 before finally having it shot down over the ocean.

00:09:56.420 Long after, of course, it had taken video of various defense installations

00:10:01.980 in the United States and sent that information by computer

00:10:05.240 back to communist China.

00:10:07.880 Asked about whether a court-martial of Kelly was possible,

00:10:11.260 the Department of War press secretary, Kingsley Wilson,

00:10:14.340 told Jack Prasovic, my good friend,

00:10:16.920 that the department is taking the matter extremely seriously.

00:10:20.580 This controversy centers on Kelly's status 0.64

00:10:23.260 as a retired naval officer drawing a pension,

00:10:26.700 which could place him under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

00:10:30.920 Wilson said the Department of War had referred the allegations

00:10:34.080 to the Secretary of Navy, John Phelan,

00:10:37.180 who has been tasked by the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth,

00:10:40.420 to conduct a thorough review and report back by December 10th.

00:10:44.920 The department has not indicated what disciplinary outcomes,

00:10:48.280 if any, might follow,

00:10:49.700 but they should have and make an example of Kelly, in my opinion,

00:10:53.680 because his insubordination and subversion of the commander-in-chief

00:10:57.080 are just not acceptable.

00:10:59.600 Meanwhile, a new report by NPR, that's National Public Radio,

00:11:03.880 paid for by you and I with our tax dollars,

00:11:06.800 claims that the Afghani who was charged in last week's shooting

00:11:11.740 of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C.,

00:11:14.920 including, as it turns out, the vicious murder of one,

00:11:18.020 Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom,

00:11:20.180 showed that he had no personal crisis,

00:11:24.300 and that he was a radical Islamist.

00:11:27.720 As I pointed out yesterday in the Stone Zone,

00:11:30.740 I found it very, very curious that Ramunala Lakawal,

00:11:35.580 who was accused of murdering Guardswoman Beckstrom, 0.95

00:11:39.500 who died on Thanksgiving Day and critically wounded a second Guardsman,

00:11:44.220 Andrew Wolfe, who's still hospitalized and receiving treatment,

00:11:48.180 actually entered this country in 2001.

00:11:52.480 Now, by law, he should only have been able to apply for legal asylum for one year,

00:12:01.280 but he didn't apply, nor did he get asylum in the United States until 2024.

00:12:06.780 That's three years after the legal deadline.

00:12:11.440 How could that be possible?

00:12:12.700 Well, here's the answer, unfortunately.

00:12:15.540 Unfortunately, this misguided individual, this murderer,

00:12:19.240 was working for our CIA.

00:12:22.260 According to the NPR report,

00:12:24.160 people who worked closely with him before the attack

00:12:26.180 described an emotional collapse in the months leading up to a shooting.

00:12:30.280 A settlement volunteer who had assisted his family told NPR,

00:12:33.980 they saw no signs of radicalization.

00:12:37.400 The case is complicated by the man's past.

00:12:40.560 As I say, before seeking asylum,

00:12:42.740 he reportedly served in the elite CIA-backed and trained Afghani unit,

00:12:48.120 zero unit, fighting the Taliban.

00:12:51.220 So it comes as no surprise that the effete leftists of NPR

00:12:55.640 would create propaganda meant to take the onus off of radical Islam,

00:13:00.280 as they don't want people to understand what is happening in this country

00:13:04.500 or the danger that radical Islam poses to all Americans.

00:13:09.880 Meanwhile, the Pentagon is pushing back sharply this week

00:13:13.100 against reports from the Washington Post, among others,

00:13:16.280 which claimed that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered that

00:13:19.260 everybody on a suspected narcotics boat

00:13:21.880 be killed during a September strike in the Caribbean.

00:13:25.920 Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson denounced that Washington Post story,

00:13:29.560 said it misrepresented the facts,

00:13:32.520 and that it fueled public confusion about the operation.

00:13:37.060 Suddenly, the left is saying that Hegseth's orders,

00:13:40.900 if indeed were issued by him, violate a war crime.

00:13:45.240 Really?

00:13:46.080 What about the tens of thousands of people killed by illegal drone strikes

00:13:51.140 ordered by President Barack Obama?

00:13:54.080 Were those war crimes?

00:13:56.200 I believe they were.

00:13:57.640 Once again, we see the two-tiered justice system

00:14:00.800 where Republicans and Trump supporters are held to a different standard

00:14:05.220 than Democrats or those who worked for Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

00:14:10.840 Thanks for tuning in.

00:14:12.340 This is Roger Stone.

00:14:13.380 You're listening to The Stone Zone,

00:14:14.720 where five days a week we talk politics.

00:14:18.400 So please keep listening.

00:14:19.960 We'll be right back.

00:14:21.320 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:27.440 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine.

00:14:30.080 What's your secret?

00:14:31.080 Goya coconut milk.

00:14:32.180 How does it taste so good?

00:14:33.560 It's all in that real coconut flavor and that rich, creamy texture.

00:14:37.640 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:14:39.880 None.

00:14:40.440 Just smooth, coconutty goodness.

00:14:42.920 What can I make with it?

00:14:44.060 From curries to sweet treats like coconut flan,

00:14:47.000 the possibilities are endless.

00:14:49.180 Goya coconut milk.

00:14:50.640 Take your cooking to the next level.

00:14:52.280 No question about it.

00:14:53.340 Find it in the Goya section of your local grocery store.

00:14:55.700 If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:14:58.140 On December 12th,

00:15:00.220 Disney Plus invites you to go behind the scenes with Taylor Swift

00:15:03.600 in an exclusive six-episode docuseries.

00:15:06.520 I wanted to give something to the fans that they didn't expect.

00:15:09.260 The only thing left is to close the book.

00:15:11.980 The end of an era.

00:15:12.980 And don't miss Taylor Swift,

00:15:17.080 the era's tour,

00:15:18.200 the final show featuring for the first time,

00:15:20.620 the Tortured Poets Department.

00:15:24.080 Streaming December 12th,

00:15:25.580 only on Disney Plus.

00:15:28.440 The Stone Zone.

00:15:30.740 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:33.000 Well, I hope you're not having the same experience that I'm having.

00:15:37.560 You see, Apple just did an update,

00:15:39.220 but even before their update began,

00:15:41.680 suddenly, without explanation,

00:15:44.280 people I had saved in my contact,

00:15:46.260 literally for decades,

00:15:47.940 simply disappeared.

00:15:49.280 Now, they didn't disappear entirely,

00:15:51.500 meaning the thread is still there,

00:15:53.320 but their name is no longer there.

00:15:55.620 So, what pops up is a phone number,

00:15:58.480 and if you're smart enough to remember some key word

00:16:01.940 from your previous text correspondence,

00:16:04.760 you may be able to find people that you're looking for.

00:16:07.620 The other day, I went to look for my good friend,

00:16:09.820 former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani,

00:16:12.120 only to find that, well,

00:16:13.660 despite decades of our exchanging messages,

00:16:16.920 he's no longer saved in my text feed.

00:16:20.080 But it's not just that.

00:16:21.260 After an update,

00:16:23.100 various functions on the telephone,

00:16:25.320 the cell phone,

00:16:26.040 don't work as well as they did previously.

00:16:27.920 So, previously,

00:16:29.040 if you took a screenshot or a photograph

00:16:31.440 and went immediately to the top of your photo roll,

00:16:35.260 but no longer.

00:16:36.600 Now, suddenly,

00:16:38.140 I find that the phone automatically blocks

00:16:42.240 when I try to open a link

00:16:45.500 that's sent to me by email.

00:16:47.900 You've got to hand it to the folks of Apple.

00:16:49.880 They took something that worked extremely well

00:16:52.240 and now barely works at all.

00:16:55.040 Now, some have suggested

00:16:56.640 that this is really just designed

00:16:58.540 to force me to buy a new and more expensive phone.

00:17:02.080 I admit I'm using an Apple Pro 12,

00:17:04.820 which I'm used to,

00:17:06.220 and which until recently worked extremely well,

00:17:09.180 but now barely works at all.

00:17:12.500 Others have suggested

00:17:13.460 I should abandon Apple entirely,

00:17:15.760 given the millions of dollars

00:17:17.540 they spent to try to stop Donald Trump

00:17:19.380 from becoming president,

00:17:20.420 and their active involvement in censorship.

00:17:23.140 It's something I ought to think about.

00:17:25.200 But if you can't depend on your cell phone to work,

00:17:28.240 what can you depend on?

00:17:31.000 Here's what I know.

00:17:32.640 We've now moved into a very dangerous area

00:17:35.020 where I think the folks at Apple

00:17:37.000 are spending more time focusing on

00:17:38.740 their development of artificial intelligence

00:17:41.420 and less time servicing their current customers

00:17:45.420 who rely on their cell phones.

00:17:47.580 On the other hand,

00:17:48.900 try spending a day without your cell phone

00:17:51.680 and you wonder how we functioned

00:17:54.060 before we had them.

00:17:55.560 Just think back to it.

00:17:56.620 Having spent 50 years

00:17:58.000 in the corroded rectum of the two-party system

00:18:00.880 and been an active combatant

00:18:02.960 in American politics,

00:18:04.540 I can't even imagine what we did

00:18:06.500 prior to having the cell phone.

00:18:09.260 So I want to thank the folks at Apple.

00:18:11.340 They took something that worked extremely well

00:18:13.620 and they virtually destroyed it.

00:18:16.340 I spent hours on the phone

00:18:17.860 with Apple's customer service representatives

00:18:20.500 who say,

00:18:21.980 try this,

00:18:22.540 try that,

00:18:23.180 try this,

00:18:23.720 but nothing has worked.

00:18:25.760 So if you send me a text

00:18:27.360 and I don't respond immediately,

00:18:29.420 if you're among my circle of friends

00:18:31.680 or contacts,

00:18:33.360 please understand it's not personal.

00:18:35.860 It simply means that

00:18:37.000 you've disappeared entirely

00:18:38.500 from the memory of my phone

00:18:40.260 and I can't contact you.

00:19:07.040 The Stone Zone

00:19:08.540 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:19:12.100 Well, we cover the news

00:19:15.000 that virtually nobody else covers.

00:19:17.780 Well, Costco,

00:19:18.840 the wholesale corporation,

00:19:20.220 has filed a federal lawsuit

00:19:21.640 against the United States

00:19:22.880 in order to block enforcement

00:19:24.980 of President Donald Trump's tariff orders

00:19:26.820 and try to recover duties

00:19:28.600 the retailer says

00:19:29.600 were wrongfully collected.

00:19:31.400 The case was brought

00:19:32.580 in the United States

00:19:33.280 Court of International Trade

00:19:34.700 where Costco argues

00:19:36.220 that the Trump administration

00:19:37.920 exceeded its lawful authority

00:19:39.640 by imposing

00:19:40.780 wide-ranging import taxes

00:19:42.540 without congressional approval.

00:19:45.140 At the center of this

00:19:46.340 is a challenge

00:19:47.100 to Trump's use

00:19:47.940 of the International

00:19:48.780 Emergency and Economic Powers Act

00:19:50.840 which Costco says

00:19:52.300 does not authorize

00:19:53.320 any president

00:19:54.400 to create

00:19:55.000 or increase tariffs.

00:19:57.420 Now,

00:19:57.780 I believe

00:19:58.440 that the courts

00:19:58.980 have already addressed this

00:20:00.080 but Costco now says

00:20:01.480 that it is racing

00:20:02.700 against a procedural clock

00:20:04.260 set by U.S. Customs

00:20:05.720 and the Border Protection Agency

00:20:07.900 which plans to liquidate

00:20:09.800 its important import entries

00:20:12.000 beginning December 15th.

00:20:14.400 So,

00:20:14.840 once finalized,

00:20:16.240 those duties

00:20:16.800 typically cannot be challenged

00:20:18.340 or recovered.

00:20:19.940 Costco wants

00:20:20.680 a court order

00:20:21.540 blocking enforcement

00:20:22.500 declaring the tariffs

00:20:23.520 unlawful

00:20:24.160 and requiring

00:20:25.160 that the government

00:20:25.960 refund with interest

00:20:27.300 the money

00:20:28.120 that was already paid.

00:20:30.000 So,

00:20:30.340 add Costco

00:20:31.120 to the list of companies

00:20:32.240 that do not want

00:20:33.740 to put America first.

00:20:34.860 we have to ask ourselves

00:20:36.620 are we going to be slaves

00:20:37.980 to cheap,

00:20:39.080 flimsy,

00:20:39.980 poorly crafted

00:20:40.700 consumer items

00:20:41.740 imported from China

00:20:42.700 or are we going to

00:20:44.040 reclaim our economic sovereignty

00:20:45.720 and start supporting

00:20:46.680 American production again

00:20:48.500 even if it means

00:20:49.540 we have to pay a bit more

00:20:50.780 to receive a

00:20:51.540 higher quality product.

00:20:53.840 Costco has shown

00:20:54.680 that they are on

00:20:55.380 the wrong side

00:20:56.260 of history here.

00:20:57.580 It's time for the

00:20:58.780 Make America Great

00:20:59.960 faithful

00:21:00.440 to start cutting

00:21:01.360 their membership cards

00:21:02.520 to show that

00:21:03.240 Costco

00:21:04.000 and their actions

00:21:05.400 are not appreciated

00:21:06.720 by the American people.

00:21:08.740 Meanwhile,

00:21:09.580 President Trump

00:21:10.420 has announced

00:21:11.100 and the White House

00:21:11.800 has confirmed

00:21:12.560 that the President

00:21:13.440 fired eight

00:21:14.280 immigration judges

00:21:15.400 in New York City

00:21:16.740 as the Trump administration

00:21:18.340 escalates its court battles

00:21:20.080 over deportations,

00:21:21.680 a move that one judge

00:21:22.680 reportedly described

00:21:23.560 as a Monday

00:21:24.760 afternoon massacre

00:21:26.320 and which I describe

00:21:27.880 as music to the ears

00:21:29.580 of myself

00:21:30.400 and other Trump supporters.

00:21:31.600 immigration courts

00:21:33.600 fall under

00:21:34.520 the Department of Justice

00:21:35.780 and the dismissals

00:21:36.880 come amid

00:21:37.580 repeated clashes

00:21:38.780 between judges

00:21:39.680 who have blocked

00:21:40.740 removals

00:21:41.320 and federal officials

00:21:42.440 pushing to speed up

00:21:43.540 enforcement.

00:21:44.760 The New York City

00:21:45.420 hosts three immigration

00:21:46.860 courts including

00:21:47.700 major complexes

00:21:48.760 at 26 Federal Plaza

00:21:50.720 which also houses

00:21:52.140 immigration and

00:21:53.060 custom enforcement

00:21:53.820 headquarters.

00:21:55.180 Protesters have

00:21:55.960 intensified outside

00:21:57.060 the courts

00:21:57.620 with activists

00:21:58.260 attempting to

00:21:59.120 interfere with

00:22:00.280 deportation proceedings

00:22:01.680 and to disrupt

00:22:03.440 ICE operations

00:22:04.580 targeting criminal offenders.

00:22:07.040 According to

00:22:07.600 the New York Times

00:22:08.440 about 90 of the

00:22:09.620 nation's roughly

00:22:10.760 600 immigration

00:22:12.120 judges have been

00:22:13.400 fired so far

00:22:14.440 in 2025

00:22:15.240 a figure confirmed

00:22:16.960 by both the

00:22:17.800 Department of Justice

00:22:18.800 and the National

00:22:20.340 Association of

00:22:21.240 Immigration Judges.

00:22:22.720 36 replacements

00:22:23.760 have already been

00:22:24.940 installed.

00:22:26.280 Meanwhile,

00:22:27.200 Democratic extremists

00:22:28.280 in Capitol Hill

00:22:29.160 are urging

00:22:29.660 resistance to

00:22:30.540 deportations

00:22:31.300 and making

00:22:32.120 despicable remarks

00:22:33.280 about illegal

00:22:34.260 orders to the

00:22:35.080 military without

00:22:36.320 being able to

00:22:37.020 point to any

00:22:37.760 allegedly illegal

00:22:39.140 or unconstitutional

00:22:40.160 action.

00:22:41.100 Those comments

00:22:41.660 are now under

00:22:42.480 review by the

00:22:43.280 Federal Department

00:22:44.140 of Investigation.

00:22:45.900 The administration

00:22:46.540 knows that the

00:22:47.500 shake-up is necessary

00:22:48.600 to restore

00:22:49.280 enforcement.

00:22:50.500 This is about

00:22:51.040 removing the

00:22:51.760 insidious fifth

00:22:52.600 column that's

00:22:53.200 working to

00:22:53.680 undermine the will

00:22:54.660 of the American

00:22:55.240 people in the

00:22:56.340 most recent

00:22:56.940 presidential election.

00:22:58.280 If they are

00:22:58.880 just getting

00:22:59.360 fired,

00:22:59.860 they'll be

00:23:00.100 lucky.

00:23:00.860 They deserve 0.52

00:23:01.400 much worse

00:23:02.000 for the damage

00:23:02.580 that I think

00:23:03.260 they're afflicting

00:23:03.740 upon our

00:23:04.700 nation.

00:23:06.020 Meanwhile,

00:23:06.860 Belgian authorities

00:23:08.100 have detained

00:23:09.020 former European

00:23:10.120 Commission

00:23:10.680 Vice President

00:23:11.420 and longtime

00:23:13.240 EU diplomat

00:23:14.440 Federica

00:23:15.320 Mogherini

00:23:16.720 as part of

00:23:17.680 an investigation

00:23:18.400 into the

00:23:19.360 alleged misuse

00:23:20.320 of EU funds

00:23:21.560 according to

00:23:22.760 multiple media

00:23:23.600 sources.

00:23:24.600 Homes and

00:23:25.080 offices linked

00:23:26.060 to the diplomat

00:23:27.160 were reportedly

00:23:27.700 searched,

00:23:28.220 although no

00:23:28.680 formal charges

00:23:29.480 have yet been

00:23:30.640 announced.

00:23:31.260 Investigators

00:23:31.780 reportedly

00:23:32.340 searched the

00:23:33.280 Brussels headquarters

00:23:34.740 of the European

00:23:35.960 External Action

00:23:37.160 Service,

00:23:38.300 which the

00:23:39.080 diplomat headed

00:23:39.940 from 2014

00:23:40.800 to 2019,

00:23:42.160 as well as

00:23:43.060 offices at the

00:23:44.060 College of Europe,

00:23:45.140 where she served 0.98

00:23:46.000 as rector since

00:23:46.860 2020.

00:23:48.020 This inquiry is

00:23:49.360 said to involve

00:23:50.060 the school's

00:23:50.720 financing and

00:23:51.500 governance during

00:23:52.220 her tenure,

00:23:53.200 including the

00:23:53.720 purchase of a

00:23:54.320 building that

00:23:54.820 may have cost

00:23:55.480 several million

00:23:57.100 euros.

00:23:58.500 Also detained

00:23:59.440 were another

00:24:00.120 senior College

00:24:01.160 of Europe

00:24:01.540 official,

00:24:02.600 Stefano

00:24:03.360 Sennino,

00:24:04.920 a top European

00:24:06.180 commission figure

00:24:06.940 who served as

00:24:07.760 the secretary

00:24:08.960 general of the

00:24:10.300 EAS under

00:24:11.920 Mogherini.

00:24:13.620 Authorities say

00:24:14.600 documents have

00:24:15.280 been seized

00:24:15.700 related to

00:24:16.380 suspected

00:24:16.900 procurement fraud,

00:24:18.640 corruption,

00:24:19.300 and conflicts

00:24:20.700 of interest.

00:24:21.320 This case has

00:24:23.280 sent shockwaves

00:24:24.340 through the

00:24:24.840 EU institutions,

00:24:26.620 given Mogherini's

00:24:28.360 central role in

00:24:29.160 the European

00:24:29.580 diplomacy over

00:24:31.460 the last decade.

00:24:32.960 Combine this

00:24:33.800 with the recent

00:24:34.620 scandals regarding

00:24:35.740 the inner circle

00:24:36.780 of Ukraine

00:24:37.740 President Volodymyr

00:24:39.100 Zelensky.

00:24:40.180 Only a week ago,

00:24:41.340 I drove down to

00:24:42.100 Miami Beach to

00:24:42.920 look at his

00:24:43.420 $3.8 million

00:24:45.160 beachfront

00:24:46.740 condominium that

00:24:48.460 you and I

00:24:49.080 most likely paid

00:24:49.980 for with our

00:24:50.660 tax dollars,

00:24:51.740 and it appears

00:24:52.680 that the EU

00:24:54.080 elites and

00:24:54.760 their cronies

00:24:55.380 who once

00:24:55.860 believed they

00:24:56.480 were above

00:24:56.840 the law are

00:24:58.100 finally being

00:24:58.740 held to

00:24:59.200 account for

00:24:59.900 their financial

00:25:00.580 crimes.

00:25:01.680 And I say

00:25:02.340 it's about

00:25:03.340 time.

00:25:04.440 These EU

00:25:05.320 bureaucrats

00:25:06.000 and the people

00:25:06.480 believe they

00:25:07.520 should lord

00:25:08.060 over us and

00:25:09.040 be able to

00:25:09.380 tell us to

00:25:09.880 submit to

00:25:10.400 vaccinations and

00:25:11.420 their other

00:25:11.960 biometric

00:25:13.100 checkpoints.

00:25:14.620 We must expose

00:25:15.740 them and mock

00:25:16.420 them thoroughly as

00:25:17.180 we distance

00:25:17.620 ourselves from 0.99

00:25:18.340 their ridiculous 0.98

00:25:19.060 globalist agenda. 0.99

00:25:21.620 House

00:25:22.020 Republicans on

00:25:22.920 the House

00:25:23.320 Financial Services

00:25:24.340 Committee have

00:25:24.900 released a

00:25:25.420 50-page report

00:25:26.760 demonstrating how

00:25:27.640 the Biden-era

00:25:29.020 financial regulators

00:25:30.220 orchestrated a

00:25:31.200 coordinated

00:25:32.180 debanking campaign

00:25:33.760 against the

00:25:34.820 crypto-current

00:25:35.720 industry, which

00:25:36.380 they called

00:25:36.940 Operation

00:25:38.120 Chokepoint

00:25:39.180 2.0.

00:25:40.960 The report

00:25:41.920 provides hard

00:25:43.100 evidence showing

00:25:44.120 that at least

00:25:44.800 30 crypto-related

00:25:46.440 businesses were

00:25:47.300 squeezed out of

00:25:48.580 the United States

00:25:49.180 banking system,

00:25:50.660 not through

00:25:51.120 formal enforcement

00:25:52.420 actions, but

00:25:53.380 through quiet

00:25:54.140 regulatory pressure

00:25:55.480 exerted behind

00:25:56.660 the scenes.

00:25:57.780 According to the

00:25:58.940 committee report,

00:26:00.020 agencies including

00:26:00.920 the Federal Reserve,

00:26:02.920 the Federal Deposit

00:26:03.800 Insurance Corporation,

00:26:05.400 and the Office of the

00:26:06.640 Comptroller of the

00:26:07.460 Currency used

00:26:08.520 informal tools such

00:26:09.780 as pause letters,

00:26:11.720 non-objection letters,

00:26:13.160 and behind-the-scenes

00:26:14.360 guidance to

00:26:15.180 discourage banks

00:26:16.120 from working with

00:26:17.400 these new

00:26:17.940 digital asset

00:26:19.060 firms.

00:26:20.320 At the same

00:26:20.940 time, the

00:26:21.600 Securities and

00:26:22.260 Exchange Commission

00:26:23.080 adopted an

00:26:23.980 enforce-first,

00:26:25.300 make-rules-never

00:26:26.200 strategy, relying

00:26:27.680 on enforcement

00:26:28.380 cases rather than

00:26:29.540 clear regulatory

00:26:30.940 frameworks.

00:26:32.500 This stunning

00:26:33.300 report highlights

00:26:34.700 the SAB-121

00:26:36.560 as a key

00:26:38.180 rule that was

00:26:39.080 used by the

00:26:39.640 Biden administration

00:26:40.340 to effectively

00:26:40.980 block banks

00:26:41.840 from offering

00:26:42.880 crypto-custody

00:26:44.260 services.

00:26:45.100 Committee

00:26:46.020 Republicans

00:26:46.580 noted that

00:26:47.220 the tactics

00:26:47.800 mirror the

00:26:48.420 original

00:26:48.900 operation

00:26:49.500 chokepoint

00:26:50.080 of the

00:26:50.300 early 2010s,

00:26:51.380 which was

00:26:51.720 applied to

00:26:52.780 drugs and

00:26:53.440 illegal weapons

00:26:54.200 dealers when

00:26:55.440 regulators pressured

00:26:56.560 banks to

00:26:57.180 avoid disfavored

00:26:58.600 industries.

00:26:59.960 Executives

00:27:00.500 described

00:27:01.020 surprised

00:27:01.780 accounts

00:27:02.280 closures,

00:27:03.500 endless

00:27:03.800 paperwork

00:27:04.380 demands,

00:27:05.540 and vague

00:27:06.100 warnings about

00:27:07.020 regulatory risk,

00:27:08.840 leaving compliant

00:27:09.720 businesses unable

00:27:10.880 to operate.

00:27:12.300 The Biden

00:27:12.760 regime targeted

00:27:13.820 cryptocurrency because

00:27:15.240 it's decentralized

00:27:16.340 and it poses a

00:27:18.100 threat to

00:27:18.660 centralize

00:27:19.340 monetary control.

00:27:21.540 President Trump

00:27:22.280 is a crypto

00:27:23.180 entrepreneur himself

00:27:24.540 and has signed

00:27:25.680 the Genius Act

00:27:27.120 into law,

00:27:28.260 finally providing

00:27:29.080 a framework that

00:27:30.180 allows crypto

00:27:31.040 innovation while

00:27:31.980 protecting consumer

00:27:33.420 safety.

00:27:34.500 This could end up

00:27:35.540 being among the

00:27:36.180 most important

00:27:36.960 reforms as

00:27:37.840 cryptocurrency

00:27:38.320 shapes the future

00:27:39.980 of our monetary

00:27:40.680 system in ways

00:27:42.180 that we're only

00:27:42.640 beginning now

00:27:43.540 to comprehend.

00:27:45.280 Meanwhile,

00:27:46.000 President Trump

00:27:46.560 kept it short

00:27:47.260 and sweet with

00:27:47.980 a three-word

00:27:48.700 post on

00:27:49.260 True Social

00:27:49.860 regarding the

00:27:51.260 fact that

00:27:51.940 Dell has

00:27:52.900 invested over

00:27:53.640 $6 billion

00:27:54.700 into Trump

00:27:56.600 accounts.

00:27:57.920 President Trump

00:27:58.800 kept it very

00:27:59.600 short and sweet

00:28:00.260 with this three-word

00:28:01.040 post saying

00:28:01.740 I love Dell

00:28:02.620 after tech

00:28:03.860 magnate

00:28:04.420 Michael Dell

00:28:05.160 and his wife

00:28:05.720 Susan Dell

00:28:06.360 announced a

00:28:07.060 monumental

00:28:08.020 $6.25

00:28:09.740 commitment

00:28:10.800 to fund

00:28:11.920 Trump

00:28:12.360 accounts

00:28:12.820 for American

00:28:13.500 children.

00:28:14.780 The gift

00:28:15.260 hailed by

00:28:16.240 Invest America

00:28:17.240 as the largest

00:28:18.200 philanthropic

00:28:19.460 donation

00:28:19.980 ever aimed

00:28:20.980 specifically

00:28:21.640 for U.S.

00:28:22.700 children

00:28:23.000 is designed

00:28:24.220 to jumpstart

00:28:25.240 wealth creation

00:28:26.120 from birth

00:28:26.920 and promote

00:28:27.980 long-term

00:28:28.680 financial security.

00:28:30.840 The Dell's

00:28:31.460 $6.25

00:28:32.940 billion contribution

00:28:34.680 expands

00:28:36.020 Invest America's

00:28:37.160 flagship program

00:28:38.420 commonly called

00:28:39.660 Trump accounts

00:28:40.480 adopted

00:28:41.340 earliest year

00:28:42.220 as Trump's

00:28:42.800 big beautiful

00:28:43.960 bill.

00:28:44.940 That was

00:28:45.300 of course

00:28:45.780 the largest

00:28:46.520 tax cut

00:28:47.280 and regulatory

00:28:47.940 cut in

00:28:48.980 U.S.

00:28:49.380 history.

00:28:50.440 The program

00:28:50.920 automatically

00:28:51.640 cedes $1,000

00:28:53.120 into an

00:28:54.560 investment account

00:28:55.360 for every

00:28:55.980 child born

00:28:56.760 between

00:28:57.460 2025

00:28:58.200 and

00:28:58.640 2028.

00:29:00.140 Now

00:29:00.320 according to

00:29:00.940 Bloomberg

00:29:01.380 the new

00:29:02.000 funds will

00:29:02.420 be routed

00:29:02.940 through the

00:29:03.420 U.S.

00:29:04.200 Department of

00:29:04.700 the Treasury

00:29:05.100 to cover

00:29:06.080 an additional

00:29:06.640 25 million

00:29:07.780 children

00:29:08.320 ages 10

00:29:09.440 and under

00:29:10.040 who today

00:29:11.080 are not

00:29:11.620 eligible

00:29:12.140 for this

00:29:13.040 government

00:29:13.580 ceding.

00:29:14.900 Dell says

00:29:15.420 the focus

00:29:15.880 will be

00:29:16.200 on communities

00:29:16.860 with medium

00:29:17.580 incomes

00:29:18.120 below $150,000

00:29:19.960 with the goal

00:29:20.720 of reaching

00:29:21.100 up to 80%

00:29:22.120 of eligible

00:29:23.300 children.

00:29:24.440 The accounts

00:29:24.960 will be

00:29:26.780 invested

00:29:27.280 in diversified

00:29:28.800 low-cost

00:29:29.420 in-debt funds

00:29:30.220 and locked

00:29:30.660 in until

00:29:31.640 age 18

00:29:32.760 when funds

00:29:33.700 can be used

00:29:34.280 for education

00:29:35.100 housing

00:29:35.900 or even

00:29:36.560 launching a

00:29:37.060 business.

00:29:38.120 This is the

00:29:38.740 sort of

00:29:39.440 corporate

00:29:40.020 philanthropy

00:29:40.880 in opposition

00:29:43.800 to George

00:29:51.160 elections

00:29:51.820 or even

00:29:52.620 much better

00:29:53.160 than Bill

00:29:56.640 in the

00:29:57.000 third

00:29:57.220 world.

00:29:58.400 Finally

00:29:59.000 a program

00:29:59.560 that can

00:29:59.980 help the

00:30:00.360 underprivileged

00:30:01.140 and every

00:30:01.820 child.

00:30:02.760 It also

00:30:03.200 shows that

00:30:03.860 the big

00:30:04.340 beautiful

00:30:04.820 bill

00:30:05.240 as put

00:30:05.980 forward

00:30:06.280 by President

00:30:06.820 Donald

00:30:07.100 Trump

00:30:07.380 is living

00:30:08.080 up to

00:30:08.660 its hype.

00:30:09.720 Another

00:30:10.020 promise

00:30:10.460 delivered for

00:30:11.160 by the

00:30:11.760 Rushmore

00:30:12.600 worthy

00:30:13.240 commander-in-chief

00:30:14.900 Donald

00:30:15.660 J.

00:30:16.380 Trump.

00:30:17.300 Meanwhile,

00:30:18.000 new data

00:30:18.420 shows the

00:30:18.880 United States

00:30:19.520 is pulling

00:30:20.480 sharply ahead

00:30:21.300 of its

00:30:21.600 G7 peers

00:30:22.800 when it

00:30:23.420 comes to

00:30:23.820 manufacturing

00:30:24.500 with the

00:30:25.380 gap most

00:30:26.020 visible

00:30:26.540 versus

00:30:26.960 Germany,

00:30:28.020 France,

00:30:28.380 and the

00:30:28.760 United

00:30:29.020 Kingdom.

00:30:29.960 According to

00:30:30.540 the S&P

00:30:31.380 Global

00:30:31.920 Purchasing

00:30:32.560 Managers

00:30:33.080 Index

00:30:33.480 reading,

00:30:34.380 U.S.

00:30:34.760 factories

00:30:35.140 continue

00:30:35.640 expanding

00:30:36.220 while much

00:30:36.840 of Europe

00:30:37.260 remains in

00:30:38.580 contraction.

00:30:39.820 The

00:30:39.940 November

00:30:40.400 U.S.

00:30:41.240 PMI

00:30:41.860 stands at

00:30:42.420 51.9%,

00:30:44.080 its 10th

00:30:45.180 expansion

00:30:45.660 reading in

00:30:46.220 11 months,

00:30:47.320 compared with

00:30:47.900 Germany at

00:30:48.500 48.4%,

00:30:49.900 France below

00:30:50.540 50%,

00:30:51.120 and the

00:30:51.500 U.K.

00:30:52.240 only bear

00:30:52.920 back in

00:30:53.720 growth

00:30:54.120 positive at

00:30:54.900 50.2%.

00:30:56.180 New orders,

00:30:57.280 a key

00:30:57.860 leading

00:30:58.300 indicator,

00:30:59.000 a rise

00:30:59.340 in the

00:30:59.540 United

00:30:59.740 States,

00:31:00.380 but falling

00:31:01.040 again in

00:31:01.720 Germany and

00:31:02.260 still extraordinarily

00:31:03.380 weak in

00:31:04.160 France.

00:31:05.300 You see,

00:31:05.640 the United

00:31:05.940 States is

00:31:06.500 experiencing

00:31:06.880 economic

00:31:07.400 growth while

00:31:08.020 European

00:31:08.400 countries are

00:31:09.100 stagnating

00:31:09.720 because the

00:31:10.540 United States

00:31:11.040 has rejected

00:31:11.720 aggressive

00:31:12.500 net-zero

00:31:13.540 mandates that

00:31:14.360 are devastating

00:31:15.040 energy-intensive

00:31:18.160 industries in

00:31:19.280 Europe.

00:31:20.140 The U.S.

00:31:20.760 has still

00:31:21.460 cut carbon

00:31:22.140 emissions.

00:31:23.100 U.S.

00:31:23.440 Energy

00:31:23.720 Information

00:31:24.240 Administration

00:31:25.060 data shows

00:31:25.860 that energy-related

00:31:27.580 CO2 is down

00:31:28.880 18% since

00:31:30.480 2010, which

00:31:31.960 is pretty much

00:31:33.020 similar to

00:31:33.520 Europe, but

00:31:34.420 they're doing

00:31:34.980 so, particularly

00:31:35.580 under President

00:31:36.120 Trump, without

00:31:36.700 hollowing out

00:31:38.420 domestic

00:31:38.920 manufacturing.

00:31:40.320 American

00:31:40.620 firms also

00:31:41.380 display stronger

00:31:42.460 pricing power,

00:31:43.820 healthier margins,

00:31:45.180 and higher

00:31:45.700 investment intent,

00:31:47.040 aided by lower

00:31:47.900 energy costs,

00:31:49.120 lower taxes,

00:31:50.320 and a more

00:31:50.780 flexible regulatory

00:31:52.040 environment.

00:31:52.920 So, by

00:31:54.120 contrast, European

00:31:55.420 surveys consistently

00:31:56.900 point to high

00:31:58.260 electricity prices,

00:32:00.000 carbon charges,

00:32:01.800 environmental

00:32:02.300 levies, and

00:32:03.300 regulatory

00:32:03.760 complexity as

00:32:05.400 a drag on

00:32:06.260 competitiveness.

00:32:07.540 In the United

00:32:08.080 States, reshoring

00:32:09.580 and automation are

00:32:10.520 boosting capacity

00:32:11.460 and productivity.

00:32:13.360 In Europe, firms

00:32:14.440 are cutting costs

00:32:15.340 and delaying

00:32:15.960 projects.

00:32:17.160 This is proof

00:32:18.220 that President

00:32:18.760 Trump's America

00:32:19.520 first economic

00:32:20.340 policies are

00:32:21.060 actually working.

00:32:22.920 Democrats want 0.51

00:32:23.740 to take us

00:32:24.220 in a direction

00:32:24.760 towards Europe,

00:32:25.620 even though their

00:32:26.200 policies in

00:32:27.320 Europe are

00:32:27.780 clearly failing.

00:32:29.400 We must circle

00:32:30.260 the wagons around

00:32:31.160 President Trump

00:32:31.840 and tell the

00:32:32.380 American public

00:32:33.120 how America is

00:32:34.280 entering a new

00:32:35.080 golden age,

00:32:36.380 and how we must

00:32:37.320 not jeopardize

00:32:38.200 that by backsliding

00:32:39.400 towards the

00:32:40.220 high-tax,

00:32:41.320 high-regulatory

00:32:42.040 policies put

00:32:43.280 forward by

00:32:44.100 Democrats.

00:32:45.520 There's no

00:32:45.980 question, if you

00:32:46.700 look at it

00:32:47.140 objectively, that

00:32:48.520 food prices are

00:32:49.580 down, but

00:32:50.740 they're not down

00:32:51.620 as low as they

00:32:52.340 were in the

00:32:52.760 last year of

00:32:53.560 Donald Trump's

00:32:54.120 first term.

00:32:55.160 Gas prices are

00:32:56.220 down, but they're

00:32:57.320 not down as low

00:32:58.160 as they were in

00:32:58.780 the last year of

00:32:59.480 Donald Trump's

00:33:00.100 previous term as

00:33:01.660 President.

00:33:02.600 And interest rates

00:33:03.800 need to be cut

00:33:04.740 far more deeply

00:33:05.720 because based on

00:33:06.960 the current rate

00:33:07.700 of inflation and

00:33:08.820 the current rate

00:33:09.520 of unemployment,

00:33:10.840 a deeper cut

00:33:11.780 in the Federal

00:33:14.440 Reserve's interest

00:33:15.440 rates are called

00:33:16.460 for.

00:33:17.020 Once that happens,

00:33:17.980 I believe the

00:33:19.160 economy will

00:33:19.940 actually boom

00:33:21.080 even stronger

00:33:22.240 than it is

00:33:23.100 today.

00:33:33.360 Zone with Roger

00:33:35.040 Stone.

00:33:35.720 He likes politics

00:33:37.280 professional at the

00:33:38.780 highest level.

00:33:40.520 Roger Stone.

00:33:41.960 The Stone

00:33:43.020 Zone on the

00:33:44.200 Red Apple Podcast

00:33:45.440 Network.

00:33:45.820 The Stone

00:33:49.260 Zone on the

00:33:51.140 Red Apple Podcast

00:33:52.400 Network.

00:33:54.700 Welcome back

00:33:55.860 into The Stone

00:33:57.260 Zone where

00:33:57.880 Oregon's governor

00:33:58.900 has threatened

00:33:59.900 to arrest ICE

00:34:01.120 officers, which

00:34:02.440 to me is setting

00:34:03.780 up a direct

00:34:04.660 confrontation with

00:34:05.700 the Trump

00:34:06.020 administration.

00:34:07.600 Oregon's governor,

00:34:08.600 kind of a Rachel

00:34:09.520 Maddow lookalike,

00:34:10.820 Governor Tina

00:34:11.660 Kotech.

00:34:13.500 I honestly tell

00:34:14.280 you, I saw a

00:34:15.060 video of her

00:34:15.800 on X, I

00:34:17.260 couldn't tell

00:34:17.600 whether it was

00:34:17.940 a man or a

00:34:18.680 woman, but I 1.00

00:34:19.220 guess, well,

00:34:20.020 maybe that's the

00:34:20.620 idea, is setting

00:34:22.960 up this

00:34:23.380 confrontation,

00:34:24.180 warning that her

00:34:24.740 state may

00:34:25.240 investigate and

00:34:26.500 potentially charge

00:34:27.640 federal immigration

00:34:28.520 officers for

00:34:29.260 actions taken

00:34:30.380 inside Oregon.

00:34:32.260 Evidently, the

00:34:33.100 governor has never

00:34:33.920 heard of the

00:34:34.660 supremacy clause of

00:34:36.260 the U.S.

00:34:36.780 Constitution.

00:34:37.960 In a video

00:34:38.660 message last

00:34:39.420 week, Governor

00:34:40.140 Kotech accused 0.84

00:34:41.420 the Department of

00:34:42.560 Homeland

00:34:42.820 Insecurities and

00:34:44.320 ICE, personnel

00:34:45.900 of using

00:34:46.420 excessive force

00:34:47.580 enforcement, which

00:34:48.800 she claims puts

00:34:49.780 bystanders and

00:34:50.820 local police at

00:34:52.000 risk.

00:34:52.980 Governor Kotech

00:34:53.920 said, I believe,

00:34:54.960 as you do, in the

00:34:55.600 rule of law and

00:34:56.640 keeping our

00:34:57.120 communities safe.

00:34:58.400 Well, that's

00:34:58.880 inconsistent with her

00:34:59.960 position that anybody

00:35:01.420 who's in the

00:35:02.040 country illegally, who

00:35:03.060 has a criminal

00:35:03.900 record, should not

00:35:04.940 be deported.

00:35:06.220 She also said, we

00:35:07.160 believe in being a

00:35:08.280 welcoming place where

00:35:09.500 immigrant and refugee

00:35:10.480 communities help our

00:35:12.000 state thrive.

00:35:13.900 The ongoing violent

00:35:14.900 actions of the

00:35:15.740 Federal Department of

00:35:16.520 Homeland Security

00:35:17.220 are unacceptable, going

00:35:18.680 after Oregonians and

00:35:20.340 stoking fear in the

00:35:21.320 name of immigration

00:35:22.560 enforcement.

00:35:23.740 If a federal officer

00:35:24.840 breaks Oregon law,

00:35:26.040 they'll be held

00:35:26.580 accountable, just like

00:35:28.000 anyone else.

00:35:29.440 See, what Governor

00:35:30.180 Kotech doesn't want to

00:35:31.560 recognize is that these

00:35:33.220 people are in the

00:35:33.980 country illegally, and

00:35:35.880 there is a priority

00:35:37.340 given to those who

00:35:38.340 have previous criminal

00:35:39.380 records, either in

00:35:40.760 their country of

00:35:41.720 origin or here in the

00:35:43.460 United States.

00:35:44.300 But Oregon officials

00:35:45.440 say they will monitor

00:35:46.700 ICE operations closely

00:35:48.160 and pursue investigations

00:35:50.100 as warranted, not

00:35:51.880 recognizing that under

00:35:53.260 the Supremacy Clause of

00:35:54.540 the U.S.

00:35:55.340 Constitution, any effort

00:35:57.460 to prosecute federal

00:35:58.860 officers for performing

00:36:00.600 their duties in Oregon

00:36:01.740 would be ultimately

00:36:03.060 doomed to failure in the

00:36:04.960 courts.

00:36:05.940 The Trump administration

00:36:06.560 has been investigating a

00:36:07.980 troubling situation in

00:36:09.060 Portland, where law

00:36:10.260 enforcement has allegedly

00:36:11.380 been working closely with

00:36:13.560 Antifa leaders to

00:36:15.300 provide left-wing

00:36:16.140 domestic terrorists a

00:36:17.340 safe haven while they

00:36:18.600 fight in the streets to

00:36:20.100 impede enforcement of our

00:36:21.760 immigration laws.

00:36:23.380 It's clear that the rule

00:36:24.640 of law is under attack in

00:36:25.860 Democrat-run states and

00:36:27.120 cities across the country.

00:36:28.700 The actions of Governor

00:36:30.020 Kotech, along with her 1.00

00:36:31.320 rotund counterpart, J.B.

00:36:33.720 Pritzker in Illinois, and

00:36:35.240 her very special

00:36:36.320 equivalent, Tim Walsh in

00:36:37.600 Minnesota, prove that

00:36:38.980 there's a national

00:36:39.960 emergency warranting

00:36:41.340 federal intervention.

00:36:43.180 It's time for President

00:36:43.940 Donald Trump to take a

00:36:44.880 page from presidents like

00:36:46.020 Andrew Jackson and

00:36:47.560 Abraham Lincoln dealing

00:36:48.500 with this particular

00:36:49.780 constitutional crisis.

00:36:52.240 Meanwhile, Russian 0.58

00:36:53.220 President Vladimir Putin

00:36:54.600 accused Europe on this

00:36:56.860 past Tuesday of

00:36:57.760 sabotaging the U.S.-led

00:36:59.280 efforts in Ukraine,

00:37:01.280 claiming that Kiev's

00:37:02.200 allies don't have a peace

00:37:03.800 agenda and are simply

00:37:05.240 prolonging the war.

00:37:07.040 Speaking before

00:37:08.180 Kremlin talks with two

00:37:09.680 U.S. envoys, Putin

00:37:11.220 claimed that European 0.66

00:37:12.300 governments rewrote

00:37:13.400 proposals with demands

00:37:14.600 that they knew were

00:37:16.040 absolutely unacceptable to

00:37:17.560 Russia, then blamed

00:37:19.140 Moscow when progress

00:37:20.600 stalled.

00:37:21.720 Putin has reiterated his

00:37:22.880 claim that Russia has no

00:37:23.980 plans to attack Europe 0.89

00:37:25.140 while warning that any

00:37:26.580 European war effort would 0.67

00:37:27.780 be met right away.

00:37:30.060 Putin's comments came as

00:37:31.440 he hosted the two special

00:37:32.960 envoys sent by President

00:37:34.300 Donald Trump, Steve

00:37:35.700 Witkoff, and the

00:37:36.540 president's very capable

00:37:37.980 son-in-law, Jared

00:37:38.940 Kushner, dispatched by

00:37:40.520 the president to try to

00:37:41.560 jump-stalk talks after

00:37:43.160 months of stalemate.

00:37:44.900 Witkoff and Kushner are

00:37:46.280 expected to meet with

00:37:47.380 Vladimir Putin today for

00:37:49.240 direct talks.

00:37:50.680 The Kremlin said

00:37:51.380 discussions would take as

00:37:52.520 long as needed, while the

00:37:54.060 U.S. pursued parallel

00:37:55.280 tracks in Kiev.

00:37:56.900 Secretary Marco Rubio spent

00:37:59.780 separate sessions with

00:38:01.240 Ukrainian officials.

00:38:02.180 While Putin is certainly a

00:38:04.000 bad guy and should not be

00:38:05.340 taken at his word, he may

00:38:06.940 have a point about who's

00:38:08.360 actually sabotaging the

00:38:10.080 peace.

00:38:10.840 For those who want to say,

00:38:11.880 oh, Roger Stone, he's

00:38:13.020 soft on Russia, I would 1.00

00:38:15.360 remind you that it was me

00:38:17.160 whose relatives were mowed

00:38:18.900 down by Russian tanks in

00:38:20.480 the streets of Budapest in

00:38:22.200 1956.

00:38:24.000 I'm reminded when President

00:38:25.420 Trump was asked during the

00:38:26.660 presidential debates whether

00:38:28.180 he favored victory for Russia

00:38:30.700 or Ukraine, and his

00:38:32.200 response was, I want to see

00:38:34.140 an end to the killing.

00:38:36.060 It's time to end this

00:38:37.140 particular meat grinder and

00:38:38.600 end this war, because the

00:38:40.240 only people who are

00:38:41.020 profiting are the corrupt

00:38:42.420 politicians in Ukraine and

00:38:43.960 in the European nations who

00:38:45.500 are siphoning millions of

00:38:47.360 dollars from our war aid to

00:38:50.020 the Ukrainians.

00:38:50.960 I'm Roger Stone.
