00:00:00.000 Looking for financial insights you can trust?
00:00:02.780 How do you protect yourself as an investor? What's the strategy?
00:00:05.560 I think it's really simple. I think you just want to be diversified in your portfolio.
00:00:09.380 The Payne family brings real-world experience to every conversation.
00:00:13.620 Well, I think that's the problem right now is a lot of people that are close to retirement,
00:00:16.760 they're taking so much risks. And if we do get a big sell-off, it could derail their retirement.
00:00:22.100 Listen to The Payne Points of Wealth on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:26.080 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.
00:00:30.720 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:33.640 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:00:37.120 Well, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been the leading proponent for radical Islam in the U.S. Congress.
00:00:45.820 She's a constant critic of America and everything it stands for,
00:00:50.880 and a major proponent for Sharia law, which is, of course, completely and totally inconsistent with the United States Constitution.
00:01:00.740 But there's a very substantial question as to whether Ilhan Omar's citizenship is legitimate
00:01:06.760 and whether she's even in the country legally.
00:01:10.100 Now, a prominent Somali community figure is blowing the whistle about Congresswoman Omar,
00:01:16.360 claiming that she did, in fact, marry her own brother in order to obtain immigration and education benefits.
00:01:24.080 That Somali community leader, Abdakhahim Assam, told the Daily Mail that Omar's second husband,
00:01:32.740 Ahmed Elmi, was actually her biological brother,
00:01:36.580 and that she married him so that she could get legal papers to enter and attend school in the United States. 0.99
00:01:44.220 This confirms what was previously just a long-rumored claim.
00:01:48.280 The two reportedly wed in 2009, not in a mosque, but in a Christian church outside of Minneapolis,
00:01:57.200 something that Osman says was done to avoid questions from local Islamic authorities
00:02:03.540 who would have known that the two were actually brother and sister.
00:02:08.200 The whistleblower, Osman says that the marriage was kept so quiet
00:02:11.960 that even close community members only learned of it years later when a marriage certificate was uncovered.
00:02:18.440 By contrast, Omar's first marriage to Ahmed Hershey was a major Somali cultural event attended by more than 100 people.
00:02:28.460 According to Osman, Elmi suddenly appeared in Minneapolis in the late 2000s,
00:02:33.760 often seen with the couple, and introduced as Omar's brother.
00:02:38.000 Osman claims Elmi showed up from London with questionable authority
00:02:42.920 and that Omar's marriage was aimed at securing the documents and eventually the student loans.
00:02:48.880 Elmi and Omar divorced in 2017.
00:02:51.680 She then remarried Hershey before divorcing him again in 2025 amid reports of an affair with her campaign fundraiser.
00:03:01.040 It's clear that there's a major problem here and that the U.S. authorities need to examine
00:03:06.200 whether Ilhan Omar married her own brother in order to illegally gain entrance into the United States.
00:03:13.960 If that is the case, well, then she should be deported. 0.98
00:03:18.500 Unfortunately, Somalis do not assimilate.
00:03:21.100 They bring the third world culture with them. 1.00
00:03:23.220 We have seen that in the wake of the $1 billion scandal in Minnesota
00:03:29.820 where the Somali community is responsible for at least $250 million in fraudulent payments
00:03:38.080 connected to the COVID-19 vaccination pandemic.
00:03:43.460 Interestingly enough, the great majority of that $250 million was not spent in the United States.
00:03:50.660 It was actually sent back to Somalia, sent directly to al-Shabaab,
00:03:55.500 the terrorists there who are aligned with radical Islam.
00:04:00.580 You heard it here first in the Stone Zone.
00:04:03.640 Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell, essentially Jeffrey Epstein's pimp,
00:04:08.900 has had her grand jury materials unsealed.
00:04:12.040 Finally, a New York federal judge has ordered the unsealing of grand jury materials
00:04:16.760 connected to the prosecution of Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:04:22.700 She's the woman convicted for being the accomplice of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein,
00:04:28.240 helping the sex trafficker lure underage girls into his global sex trafficking network.
00:04:35.100 Judge Paul Engelmeyer granted the request after the Justice Department
00:04:39.480 cited the newly passed Epstein Files Transparency Act.
00:04:43.460 Normally, grand jury records stay sealed forever,
00:04:46.740 but the judge ruled that the new law applies here
00:04:49.100 and the public has a right to see what has been long hidden.
00:04:53.340 This is, of course, in contrast to previous motions by the Trump Justice Department
00:04:58.920 to unseal all of the grand jury data that is connected to both Jeffrey Epstein's indictment
00:05:05.960 in Florida for sex crimes in 2005
00:05:08.720 and his 2019 indictment for child sex trafficking
00:05:14.540 and a second count of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking.
00:05:20.140 All of those motions, both in Florida and in New York, were denied by Democrat judges.
00:05:26.400 So much for the idea that Democrats favor full exposure
00:05:30.400 when it comes to all of the records regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
00:05:34.980 This new order covers grand jury transcripts, exhibits, and documents
00:05:39.200 the government gave Maxwell's defense leading up to her 2021 trial.
00:05:44.180 Maxwell is currently serving 20 years for procuring underage girls for Epstein,
00:05:49.700 whose network served global figures, high-profile businessmen, and political elites,
00:05:56.160 none of whom are serving any time in prison for their criminal actions.
00:06:00.540 Congress overwhelmingly passed legislation to declassify the Epstein files last month,
00:06:06.120 demanding disclosure of materials held by the Department of Justice
00:06:09.900 related to Epstein and his neighbors.
00:06:12.940 Epstein, of course, died in federal custody in 2019
00:06:15.920 in what I believe was a murder but was made to look like a suicide.
00:06:21.920 I note that the highly respected and longtime New York City medical examiner,
00:06:27.380 Michael Baden, was retained by the Epstein family to examine Epstein's body,
00:06:32.960 and he stated unequivocally that the various bones broken in Epstein's neck
00:06:39.040 were completely inconsistent with hanging.
00:06:41.640 I note that Dr. Baden has performed the autopsy in over 1,000 cases
00:06:48.520 where the deceased allegedly hung themselves or were hung.
00:06:53.540 The unsealing of the Maxwell Grand Jury materials will get us one step closer
00:06:58.200 to understanding the nature of Epstein's operation and all the players are involved.
00:07:03.860 But by and large, this entire issue has backfired spectacularly
00:07:08.480 in the face of Democrats who have tried to say that Trump has somehow done something improper
00:07:15.120 or has something to hide.
00:07:17.860 Let's go through the facts.
00:07:19.240 Donald Trump cut Jeffrey Epstein off in late 2004,
00:07:23.820 banned him from all of his properties and his life.
00:07:27.040 That was prior to Epstein being exposed and charged for sex crimes in Florida.
00:07:33.840 It was Donald Trump was the only high-profile public figure
00:07:38.720 to assist in the litigation by Virginia Roberts-Juffray,
00:07:47.420 one of Epstein's victims who refused the multi-million dollar settlement offered by Epstein
00:07:53.320 and moved forward with her case against the sexual trafficker. 0.81
00:07:59.540 The lawyer, Brad Edwards, then representing Juffray,
00:08:04.540 said that Trump was literally the only high-profile figure who would assist in that effort.
00:08:11.640 Even though he continues to deny it,
00:08:13.820 the FAA manifest shows that Bill Clinton visited Epstein's island on multiple occasions.
00:08:20.780 Also, the sworn testimony of Virginia Roberts-Juffray records the same.
00:08:26.400 It is also undeniable that Jeffrey Epstein both provided the seed capital
00:08:32.440 for the formation of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.
00:08:38.520 The Democrats, at the end of the day, jumping up and down for full disclosure,
00:08:42.300 will only regret it because what it will show is that high-profile Democrats,
00:08:47.120 including Bill Clinton, Treasury Secretary Larry Summers,
00:08:50.640 U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and big-time Democrat donor Bill Gates
00:08:57.860 were among those who partied on Epstein's island.
00:09:01.980 Meanwhile, the Biden administration, it turns out,
00:09:04.680 knew the identity of the January 6th bombing suspect all along.
00:09:09.460 Federal court filings suggest that the Biden-area FBI had identified
00:09:14.180 the January 6th pipe bomb suspect, Brian Cole, as early as April of 2021,
00:09:21.820 yet no arrest was made for nearly five years.
00:09:25.400 According to an affidavit and the January 6th Select Committee,
00:09:29.340 an FBI team flagged a then-redacted individual who appeared near both
00:09:35.140 the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee headquarters
00:09:39.880 the night that the pipe bomb devices were planted based on cell phone tracking data.
00:09:47.300 The January 6th Select Committee stated,
00:09:49.580 as the FBI continued analyzing large data sets from the carriers,
00:09:54.640 certain devices exhibited behavior consistent with the suspect.
00:09:58.640 The FBI requested and received the historic cell tower data for that user,
00:10:04.180 and as of April 2021, the case team was attempting to further analyze the user's movements.
00:10:11.020 It's unclear what happened after that lead at this time.
00:10:14.960 Now, Cole was arrested and has finally been taken into custody
00:10:18.960 and charged with the use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction.
00:10:24.380 Investigators say Cole later admitted to placing the bombs on January 5th,
00:10:29.020 the eve of what I believe was a fed surrection.
00:10:32.420 Cell tower data reportedly connected Cole's phone to the exact areas where the pipe bomb devices were found.
00:10:39.880 So the Biden administration clearly kept this information from the American public,
00:10:43.940 allowing the dangerous suspect to roam free in order to further their political agenda
00:10:50.080 of casting Trump supporters as terrorists.
00:10:53.580 On behalf of Mrs. Stone and I, I want to thank the literally thousands of Stone Zone listeners
00:11:01.960 and others who follow us on the Internet for their very warm congratulations
00:11:07.240 on the occasion of our 33rd wedding anniversary.
00:11:11.580 Seems like yesterday that Nydia Stone and I were married at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.
00:11:20.000 Among the guests at that wedding, New Jersey Governor Tom Kaine,
00:11:24.340 Upstate Buffalo Congressman Jack Kemp,
00:11:27.460 but the most famous attendee of all, our honored guest, Donald J. Trump.
00:11:33.260 Now, Donald Trump was quite the hit of the reception after the wedding.
00:11:39.180 He was the third person to dance with the bride after myself,
00:11:43.520 my father, and then Donald Trump, and then he danced with my mother, and then my mother-in-law.
00:11:50.460 That's the real Donald Trump, a warm and loyal person.
00:11:55.240 Now, he and his then-fiancée, Marla Maples, evidently had an argument in the lobby of the Willard Hotel,
00:12:04.820 and she threw her engagement ring at him, which the tablides jumped on as a big, big story.
00:12:12.300 But my friendship with the president goes all the way back to 1979 when I met him,
00:12:18.460 when sent to New York to organize Governor Ronald Reagan's campaign for president of the United States.
00:12:23.760 By the way, Reagan swept all the delegates in New York State over the closest contender, George H.W. Bush.
00:12:31.500 It wasn't until 1988 that I came up with the idea of Donald Trump running for president.
00:12:35.840 I realized that he had the size, the stature, the courage, the stamina, and the independence
00:12:41.360 to be not just a great candidate for president, but to actually be a great president.
00:12:47.200 And I believe that I've been proven right, and that America's golden age lies yet ahead.
00:12:53.540 I'm kind of amused by the panicans who already say,
00:12:57.140 oh, Republicans are going to lose the midterm elections.
00:12:59.760 I saw all this in 1982.
00:13:02.020 By 1984, because of the tax cuts and the regulatory cuts put in place by Ronald Reagan,
00:13:07.880 even bigger cuts now put in place by Donald Trump, the economy was booming.
00:13:12.640 And so shall it be in 26 and 28.
00:13:16.920 You're listening to Roger Stone here on The Stone Zone.

00:13:34.140 I think it's really simple.

00:13:37.960 The Payne family brings real-world experience to every conversation.
00:13:42.200 Well, I think that's the problem right now, right?
00:13:43.520 A lot of people that are close to retirement, they're taking so much risk.
00:13:47.060 And if we do get a big sell-off, it could derail their retirement.
00:13:50.780 Listen to The Payne Points of Wealth on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:13:56.840 The Stone Zone.
00:13:58.840 Entertaining and informative.
00:14:00.980 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:14:03.940 You are now re-entering the Stone Zone.
00:14:08.080 Well, I'm very disappointed to see that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:14:13.340 increasingly engulfed in scandals regarding corruption,
00:14:17.640 has flatly rejected President Trump's peace proposal,
00:14:20.760 who are rejecting what I believe was a very fair deal that Trump offered to both Ukraine and Russia.
00:14:27.260 Zelensky says he'll never agree to any deal which requires Ukraine to give up any territory,
00:14:32.040 which means he will see the war through until every last able-bodied man,
00:14:36.820 including both the young and the old,
00:14:39.780 is killed and thrown into the meat grinder of this horrific war.
00:14:44.360 Or at that point, I suspect Russia will take the entire mass of Ukraine by force. 0.77
00:14:51.820 Trump's peace plan was built around a real military solution.
00:14:55.360 Russia holds most of the territory in question,
00:14:57.580 won't ever come to the table unless concessions are offered.
00:15:01.480 Zelensky knows that,
00:15:02.820 but continues to insist that Ukrainian borders will not change under any circumstances,
00:15:07.360 despite years of battlefield losses and untilled billions of U.S. tax dollars pouring into the war effort,
00:15:15.160 much of it unfortunately unaccounted for,
00:15:18.080 which has either ended up in the pockets of Zelensky and his cronies,
00:15:22.220 I recently went to Miami Beach to visit Zelensky's palatial $3.8 million beachfront condominium,
00:15:30.100 not sure how he paid for that,
00:15:31.620 or, as Elon Musk says, backed by Congressman Tim Burchett,
00:15:38.440 some of this money has probably made its way back into the pockets of some of our very own elected officials
00:15:44.020 who voted for the million dollars to begin with.
00:15:48.000 Zelensky demanded tougher guarantees from Washington,
00:15:50.840 asking his words that his partners will do if Russia again starts the war,
00:15:55.900 but the proposal included those security guarantees.
00:15:59.380 The president has warned if Kiev refuses the deal,
00:16:02.940 Ukraine shouldn't expect the United States to continue footing the bill indefinitely.
00:16:08.200 Trump has hinted that Europe can pay for Ukraine's weapons instead,
00:16:12.060 and even suggested U.S. military intelligence sharing could finally be scaled back.
00:16:17.460 Meanwhile, Trump slammed European leaders as impotent
00:16:21.120 and mocked their attempts to draft a counter-proposal,
00:16:24.500 accusing Zelensky of not even reading the latest plan.
00:16:28.480 Don't ever expect Zelensky to agree to any peace deal.
00:16:32.680 He continues to postpone elections again and again,
00:16:35.880 so don't tell me this fight is about democracy.
00:16:39.020 He actually needs war to continue to subsidize his own greed, power, and penchant for nose candy.
00:16:46.060 You can see it in all the videos.
00:16:48.480 The war is the only thing stopping Zelensky from being held to account for his crimes by his own people. 0.93
00:16:53.300 President Trump is on to their scam, and he's calling for elections in Ukraine.
00:16:59.180 President Trump said, yeah, I think they should hold an election.
00:17:02.000 They haven't had an election in a long time.
00:17:03.340 You know, they talk a lot about democracy,
00:17:05.340 but it gets to a point where it's not about democracy at all.
00:17:10.140 Zelensky's various scandals, with many of his cabinet officials resigning in disgrace,
00:17:14.200 and now his former business partner accused of embezzling $100 million from an energy firm,
00:17:21.080 spending it on things like gold and toilets.
00:17:24.480 He is wildly unpopular with the Ukrainian people,
00:17:28.680 cannot win an election, which is why he has postponed them.

00:18:30.960 In the meantime, we have heard that Jasmine Crockett,
00:18:35.640 the new face of the Democrat Party,
00:18:38.980 has officially entered the Texas U.S. Senate primary
00:18:43.040 following the withdrawal of Congressman Colin Allred.
00:18:46.560 Crockett filed her paperwork on Monday
00:18:48.600 with an official campaign launch expected later this week.
00:18:52.480 She'll compete with another Democrat, James Tallarico,
00:18:56.180 while Republicans have a strong and competitive primary that includes current incumbent RINO
00:19:04.220 Senator John Cornyn, pro-Trump Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,
00:19:09.940 and Congressman Wesley Hunt.
00:19:12.440 They face off in a highly contentious Republican primary.
00:19:16.140 Crockett has become renowned for constant race-baiting and her fake eyelashes after the recent terrorist attack 1.00
00:19:25.020 on two National Guardsmen by an Afghani national in which one of them was tragically killed and the other one horrifically wounded.
00:19:33.200 Crockett went on MSNBC to say that so-called white supremacists are the ones who should be deported
00:19:40.060 rather than Afghanis like the one accused of this crime.
00:19:44.580 Crockett said,
00:19:45.200 Let's talk about the white supremacists and how many of them need to be kicked out of this country.
00:19:50.440 I can guarantee you I can track down more crimes they've committed.
00:19:53.880 Overall, immigrants have a lower crime commission rate than white supremacists.
00:19:58.800 We don't want to talk about that.
00:20:00.400 That is, of course, completely and totally absurd.
00:20:03.480 But then most of what she says is absurd.
00:20:06.540 What's more interesting, and I wrote a long piece about this,
00:20:08.780 is how she pretends to be ghetto trash. 1.00
00:20:10.880 But in fact, she comes from a highly privileged and upper middle class background,
00:20:17.000 attending a private school, living and growing up in a mansion.
00:20:21.980 But her radical politics represents where today's Democrat Party is. 1.00
00:20:28.560 AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar.
00:20:32.260 Earlier, we talked about the fact that she married her own brother to get into the country illegally.
00:20:37.620 And Talita Rasheed and that old blowhard Bernie Sanders. 1.00
00:20:46.460 That's the new face of the Democrat Party.
00:20:48.780 I'm kind of amused whenever I see Bernie Sanders.
00:20:51.840 You know, he used to criticize millionaires and billionaires.
00:20:55.560 Now I notice that he only criticizes billionaires.
00:20:59.080 That's because Bernie and his wife skimmed millions of dollars 0.62
00:21:03.800 from his two unsuccessful but well-funded presidential campaigns
00:21:07.800 in the form of media placement fees.
00:21:10.780 Now, that's not illegal, but it is, I think, unethical unless he disclosed to his donors
00:21:17.220 that he and his wife were making millions off his presidential candidacy.
00:21:21.900 I can find no record of his ever doing so.
00:21:25.220 Bernie Sanders, a man who's never actually held a private sector job.
00:21:29.280 He was once the mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
00:21:32.500 Bernie has three homes, a vacation home in Vail, a home in Vermont, and an apartment in Paris.
00:21:42.480 He drives a top-of-the-line Mercedes.
00:21:45.440 So when it comes to Bernie Sanders,
00:21:48.020 comrade Sanders likes socialism for thee, but not for himself.
00:21:53.480 Jasmine Crockett, one of his acolytes, is one of the most embarrassing IQ race baiters 0.98
00:21:59.660 in the entire Congress, but she is emblematic of today's Democrat Party.
00:22:04.880 When some of my Republican friends who are panicans start saying that we will surely lose
00:22:10.080 the 2026 election, please recognize how screwed up today's Democrat Party is.
00:22:16.600 Moderate Democrats can no longer win a primary.
00:22:20.080 Chuck Schumer is holding his breath, praying that AOC runs for president instead of running
00:22:27.820 for his U.S. Senate seat, because if she challenges him in the Democrat primary, well,
00:22:33.520 Chuck Schumer is toast, and he knows it.
00:22:36.860 Don't scoff at that idea.
00:22:38.760 AOC is trying to make a decision right now as to whether she should run for the U.S. Senate
00:22:43.580 in New York or whether she should run for, yes, president of the United States. 0.99
00:22:48.460 The former bartender from the Bronx could actually raise the table stakes for a U.S. Senate campaign. 0.98
00:22:55.980 She could also raise the money for a presidential bid.
00:22:58.740 I would keep an eye, however, on ActBlue.
00:23:02.140 ActBlue is the Democrat payment processing company now under federal investigation.
00:23:09.300 ActBlue, for example, was responsible for generating millions of dollars for the campaign
00:23:15.680 of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
00:23:18.880 Interestingly enough, however, ActBlue turned off the function where one needs to list their address
00:23:26.300 when paying by credit card or Apple Pay.
00:23:29.840 That way, it makes it more difficult to trace whether these contributions are even real and legitimate.
00:23:37.120 In many cases, where you have a series of very small donations to the same Democrat candidate,
00:23:45.660 when Project Veritas or James O'Keefe or O'Keefe Media or other journalists have gone to visit those donors,
00:23:54.180 they overwhelmingly say that they have no knowledge of these contributions or the people they went to.
00:23:59.700 So this is where the Democrats got most of their funding in statewide races in the last cycle.
00:24:06.840 But perhaps ActBlue will not be quite as remunerative and lucrative this time.
00:24:14.160 A lot of regarding the 2026 election has to do with redistricting.
00:24:20.000 I suspect redistricting in Florida will produce, for example, three new House seats,
00:24:26.020 all of whom, because of the demographic shifts in the state, are likely to be won by Republicans.
00:24:31.900 The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld the redistricting plan passed in the state of Texas.
00:24:40.360 I suspect that that could afford as many as five new Republican seats.
00:24:45.580 California, of course, in the last election, threw out their bipartisan redistricting commission
00:24:52.760 that has long done the congressional redistricting in the Golden State.
00:24:59.560 And we have to expect that the governor there, Gavin Newsom, and his compatriots
00:25:05.560 will attempt to finagle on the basis of manipulation of the Hispanic community in their redistricting.
00:25:15.580 New districts there, that will be challenged again in the Supreme Court.
00:25:19.160 I believe it already is.
00:25:21.500 As far as Illinois and New York and other overwhelmingly Democrat states,
00:25:25.840 they've already been gerrymandered.
00:25:27.540 I don't think the Democrats can squeeze any new seats out of those states
00:25:31.760 based on demographic or populism shifts.
00:25:35.280 President Trump's push for tougher Republican congressional masks nationwide
00:25:39.100 actually took a major step forward on Monday
00:25:42.500 as the Indiana Senate Elections Committee finally voted 6-3
00:25:46.940 to advance a mid-decade redistricting bill
00:25:50.420 that would likely give the Republican Party all nine of Indiana's U.S. House seats in 2026.
00:25:57.980 The measure now heads to the full Senate,
00:26:00.020 where Republican leaders remain split despite intense pressure
00:26:03.300 from the White House and the Republican National Committee.
00:26:06.680 The states typically redraw maps once a decade after the census,
00:26:10.620 but with Democrats using lawfare to manipulate redistricting in their favor nationwide,
00:26:15.940 Trump has encouraged Republican-led states to act now,
00:26:19.180 arguing Republicans are entitled to reclaim seats that Democrats gained
00:26:22.780 through activist judges and years of friendly gerrymanders in blue states.
00:26:27.840 Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina have already responded,
00:26:31.880 as will Florida.
00:26:33.920 Indiana could be next.
00:26:36.100 The proposed map would divide Indianapolis across four districts,
00:26:40.280 eliminating Democrat-leaning seats and reinforcing a strong Republican majority
00:26:44.620 in the states where Democrats still only represent about 45% of registered voters.
00:26:50.720 This map prevents Democrats from regaining an artificial advantage.
00:26:54.740 Democrats are already signaling legal challenges,
00:26:57.120 once again playing the race card, as they always do,
00:27:00.640 in an attempt to keep the system gamed in their favor.
00:27:03.840 But last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling,
00:27:06.300 allowing Texas' map to stand,
00:27:08.160 suggests that those challenges may be increasingly difficult.
00:27:12.380 Turning point action has been on the ground,
00:27:14.740 letting Republicans in the Indiana legislature know
00:27:17.620 that if they do not do the right thing,
00:27:19.640 there will be serious consequences.
00:27:21.800 But I think they have to keep the heat on all these lawmakers.
00:27:25.080 When their backs are against the wall,
00:27:26.960 all these squishy, moderate Republicans will be forced to do the right thing,
00:27:31.100 whether they want to do it or not.
00:27:32.800 The future of our country may very well depend on it.
00:27:36.420 I think everyone recognizes that should the Democrats win the 2026 election,
00:27:41.540 the country will be once again mired in impeachment inquiries
00:27:45.420 and endless, baseless investigations by the Democrats.
00:27:49.560 It is almost laughable to continue to see the Democrats say that
00:27:53.820 Trump is weaponizing the criminal justice system against his political opponents and enemies.
00:27:59.520 Remember the rules of Saul Alinsky,
00:28:01.900 the famous communist operative and revolutionary.
00:28:05.080 Always accuse your opponents and the enemy of exactly that which you are engaged in.
00:28:11.760 I can tell you firsthand, as can President Trump and my good friend General Michael Flynn,
00:28:18.760 that they are the ones who have weaponized the system,
00:28:21.980 trying to destroy the lives of those that they oppose.
00:28:25.560 The question that remains is whether the current Justice Department
00:28:29.740 is going to bring all of those who are involved in the seditious conspiracy
00:28:34.780 to destroy Donald Trump and his presidency to justice.
00:28:39.380 There is no question whatsoever now,
00:28:41.720 based on the declassified documents released by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:28:47.580 that there was a conspiracy born in a White House meeting in April of 2016,
00:28:54.620 led by President Barack Obama himself,
00:28:57.400 Vice President Joe Biden,
00:28:59.620 National Security Advisor Susan Rice,
00:29:02.600 CIA Director and Russian Collusion Ringleader John Brennan,
00:29:07.100 Corrupt FBI Director James Comey,
00:29:10.080 and others to remove Donald Trump,
00:29:13.560 claimed on completely, based on completely fabricated evidence of Russian collusion.
00:29:19.920 They based this almost solely on the so-called Steele dossier.
00:29:24.600 You've heard of it.
00:29:26.000 It was pushed relentlessly in the mainstream media by CIA operatives like Ken Delanian of NBC
00:29:33.360 and others over at Yahoo.com.
00:29:37.600 Of course, it turns out to be a complete and total fabrication.
00:29:40.780 The Steele dossier, which was really the basis for the entire Russian collusion hoax,
00:29:46.100 was a report that claimed that Donald Trump, citizen Trump,
00:29:50.400 while visiting Moscow as a private businessman,
00:29:53.980 had dallied with Moscow prostitutes.
00:29:57.420 This was a fabrication paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign
00:30:00.760 and masked in her campaign finance reports as legal fees. 1.00
00:30:05.820 She actually paid a fine for that. 0.53
00:30:07.820 Robert Mueller and his henchman, Andrew Weissman,
00:30:11.560 the single most corrupt prosecutor in U.S. history,
00:30:14.980 by the way, upcoming book and documentary on him called Bitbull,
00:30:19.200 the most corrupt prosecutor in U.S. history,
00:30:21.640 knew full well that the so-called Steele dossier was a fugazi from the beginning.
00:30:29.120 Yet they used it as one of the two touchstones to justify their witch hunt.
00:30:34.240 The other one was the false claim that the Russian intelligence
00:30:38.840 had conducted an online hack of the Democrat National Committee.
00:30:43.900 That was a lie also.
00:30:46.420 That is a figment of the imagination of CIA director John Brennan.
00:30:51.400 I could have actually proved at my own trial
00:30:53.940 that all the forensic evidence proved that that never happened.
00:30:57.160 And to the extent that DNC records were purloined,
00:31:01.420 they were downloaded to a portable disk and taken out the back door.
00:31:05.600 Of course, the judge would not allow us to prove that at trial.
00:31:09.280 But it remains true that there is no evidence,
00:31:12.200 none whatsoever,
00:31:13.660 other than the spacious claim of the intelligence agencies
00:31:17.480 that the Democrat National Committee was the target
00:31:22.060 of a Russian intelligence hack.
00:31:25.340 It was on the basis of those two big lies
00:31:28.420 that Donald Trump's first term as president
00:31:31.140 was under a cloud for at least three years.
00:31:34.540 And the question that many of my fellow Trump supporters
00:31:37.740 around the country are asking is simply whether or not
00:31:41.300 this Justice Department,
00:31:43.420 under the leadership of Pam Bondi
00:31:45.340 and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,
00:31:47.940 will bring these criminals engaged in seditious treason
00:31:52.220 to account whether they will actually be indicted.
00:31:55.460 I believe it is a possibility going to trial in D.C.
00:31:58.660 would be a waste of time.
00:32:00.200 You could never get a fair or unbiased judge or jury there.
00:32:04.240 But they can go to trial in the Southern District of Florida
00:32:08.120 because this is a seditious conspiracy
00:32:10.620 that begins in Washington, D.C.,
00:32:12.580 takes you all the way through the 2020 election,
00:32:15.140 including two impeachments,
00:32:16.260 but more importantly ends at the raid at Mar-a-Lago
00:32:19.960 at Donald Trump's palatial home in Palm Beach,
00:32:22.780 which makes this the venue for these people
00:32:25.860 to be held accountable
00:32:27.600 and for the American people to finally see justice.
00:32:31.400 I'm Roger Stone.
00:32:32.300 You're listening to The Stone Zone.
00:32:33.640 Don't go away because we'll be right back.
00:32:36.260 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative
00:32:44.120 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:32:47.420 Welcome back to The Stone Zone.
00:32:49.980 Another sign that President Trump's economic policies are working,
00:32:53.860 gasoline prices have hit their lowest point in almost five years.
00:32:58.120 GasBuddy reports the national average
00:33:00.560 dipped below $2.90 a gallon
00:33:03.240 for the first time since May of 2021.
00:33:06.980 The current average of about $2.89
00:33:09.820 marks the lowest price in over 1,680 days.
00:33:15.640 Prices fell another five cents just last week
00:33:18.500 and nearly 18 cents over the last month.
00:33:21.940 Americans are now commonly seeing prices
00:33:24.260 around $2.79 per gallon,
00:33:27.480 down 20 cents from the previous week.
00:33:29.880 Diesel prices are also easing,
00:33:31.900 dropping to $3.67 a gallon
00:33:36.100 unless there's a sudden shock or supply disruption.
00:33:40.280 Analysts say prices should stay on the low side
00:33:43.120 and continue to drop going into the new year.
00:33:47.040 California and Hawaii continue to post
00:33:49.580 the most expensive fuel prices
00:33:51.560 of around $4.40 a gallon,
00:33:54.540 while Oklahoma drivers are paying just $2.36.
00:33:58.200 The worst period for gas prices in recent memory
00:34:01.880 happened during, no surprise here,
00:34:04.380 President Joe Biden in year 2021,
00:34:07.980 when national averages soared past $5 a gallon.
00:34:12.100 Amazing what a difference a few years can make.
00:34:15.760 Treasury Secretary Scott Besson,
00:34:17.600 to my mind, one of President Trump's very best appointees,
00:34:21.380 a strong believer in tax reduction,
00:34:24.260 I think he would actually like to see
00:34:26.660 the Federal Income Tax Act of 1913 repealed.
00:34:30.840 We might as well repeal the Federal Reserve Act
00:34:33.200 while we're at it.
00:34:34.640 Besson is a strong believer in cryptocurrency
00:34:36.520 as well as gold.
00:34:38.400 But Besson says the administration
00:34:39.960 is now bringing inflation back under control
00:34:42.120 after years of government-driven price spikes.
00:34:45.320 Last week, Trump scrapped
00:34:47.020 the Biden-area fuel economy mandates
00:34:49.740 that squeezed gasoline vehicles
00:34:51.920 and pushed families toward electric cars
00:34:54.240 that they didn't ask for, nor did they want.
00:34:56.900 This should also help affordability
00:34:58.620 in the auto industry in general.
00:35:01.100 For millions of families heading into Christmas travel,
00:35:04.160 this is very welcome news.
00:35:06.180 So have a very MAGA Christmas
00:35:08.340 and enjoy the freedom of lower and lower gas prices.
00:35:13.780 Meanwhile, we figured out
00:35:15.320 that the Doge experiments run by Elon Musk,
00:35:20.240 that's the Department of Government officially,
00:35:22.380 announced it has now canceled
00:35:23.680 or downsized an additional 43 federal contracts
00:35:28.060 that cost American taxpayers $3.5 billion.
00:35:33.160 This actually will save U.S. taxpayers
00:35:35.720 about $220 million this year alone.
00:35:38.820 One of the terminated deals
00:35:41.040 included a $4.3 million treasury contract
00:35:44.260 that would have spent millions
00:35:45.640 to develop something called
00:35:47.100 a strategic narrative
00:35:48.800 for human-centered transformation,
00:35:51.940 whatever the hell that means.
00:35:53.600 Sounds kind of demonic if you ask me,
00:35:56.080 but we don't have to worry about that anymore
00:35:57.560 because it's been zeroed out.
00:36:00.120 Another great cut
00:36:01.360 was the $29 million Commerce Department
00:36:04.080 consulting deal
00:36:05.060 to manage paperwork and planning.
00:36:07.720 Doge says the days
00:36:09.000 of paying Washington contractors
00:36:10.520 huge sums of money
00:36:11.980 justified only by vague buzzwords
00:36:14.820 and titles are coming to an end.
00:36:17.160 According to the agency,
00:36:18.620 total savings from the initiative
00:36:20.060 now exceed $214 billion
00:36:22.920 since the launch,
00:36:25.480 more than $1,300 per American taxpayer.
00:36:29.280 I'm grateful to Elon Musk
00:36:31.300 for kicking off this cost-saving effort.
00:36:34.440 I think ultimately it will benefit
00:36:36.500 every American.
00:36:38.400 Glad to see Elon and President Trump
00:36:40.420 back together again.
00:36:42.140 Together they are
00:36:43.180 the Batman and Robin
00:36:45.080 of saving federal taxpayers.
00:36:48.020 It is welcome news 0.89
00:36:50.140 regarding these huge new cuts.
00:36:53.540 So I want to thank you
