00:00:34.640 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:37.780 Welcome to the Stone Zone on this Christmas Day.

00:00:41.840 It was Christmas Day in 1972 that President Richard Nixon ordered the intense bombing and mining of Haiphong Harbor,

00:00:52.340 as well as other targets in North Vietnamese, in Vietnam,

00:00:57.960 in order to try to force the North Vietnamese to the table. 0.92

00:01:03.580 So this is the day, historically, on which we join you. 0.93

00:01:08.980 Nobody is having a better Christmas than President Donald Trump

00:01:13.120 and the First Lady Melania.

00:01:16.080 Her decor for both of the White House and for Mar-a-Lago is really extraordinary, as is her incredible personal style, the way she dresses, that she has never been on the cover of Vogue is a politically correct outrage.

00:01:35.340 Of course, Michelle Obama on the cover of all of the major women's magazines, whereas Melania, who is both chic, highly intelligent, very kind, speaks seven languages, very wise and a key advisor and helpmate to her husband, has been shunned by the mainstream media.

00:01:59.480 But still, she is elegant, and she is active, and she speaks her mind. 0.63

00:02:04.780 She's done an amazing job on the decor for Christmas.

00:02:08.520 But the president is really in a special place when he is at Mar-a-Lago.

00:02:13.120 For those who have never been there or will never be there, it is really a mystical place.

00:02:20.420 It was originally the home of Meriwether Post.

00:02:24.720 Marjorie Mellweather Post was, of course, the businesswoman in socialite who owned the Post serial fortune.

00:02:33.580 And it was built between 1924 and 1927.

00:02:38.040 At the time of her death, it was essentially deeded to the U.S. government.

00:02:46.360 It's an opulent Spanish-style 30s mansion.

00:02:50.580 When I was working for Donald Trump in the 90s, I guess it was that he purchased it, we were flying one weekend from New York. I was living in New York at the time, flying to Florida for the weekend.

00:03:07.720 And I joined him on his plane flying out of Teterboro to Florida.

00:03:13.160 And he said to me, I'm going to look at this property.

00:03:17.920 This is around 1985, I guess, 84.

00:03:22.380 I'm going to look at this property that I'm thinking of buying in Palm Beach.

00:03:25.580 Do you want to go with me?

00:03:26.440 And I said, certainly.

00:03:27.060 So we walked through the property, which at that point, Mar-a-Lago had been boarded up for over 15 years.

00:03:34.320 It had been examined by Richard Nixon, who actually there's a record that Nixon flew there with his best friend, B.B. Rebozo from Key Biscayne, to examine it.

00:03:45.680 The government opened up for a walkthrough.

00:03:48.600 It was elegant, but even then, Nixon thought it was much too opulent to fit his everyman image.

00:03:58.340 The club was ultimately purchased.

00:04:01.760 But anyway, we looked at it and Trump said, what do you think?

00:04:04.740 And I said, wow, it needs a lot.

00:04:06.100 And he said, this could truly be magnificent, magnificent.

00:04:10.400 I said, are you going to buy it?

00:04:12.400 He said, only if I can steal it.

00:04:15.420 Now, initially, the president, then the real estate developer offered the Post family and the government $15 million, which was rejected.

00:04:26.980 Then Trump very wisely purchased land between the club and the oceanfront from a man named Jack C. Massey, the former owner of Kentucky Fried Children for two millions, announcing that he intended to build a home that would block Mar-a-Lago's view of the beach.

00:04:45.280 This threat caused competing interests in Mar-a-Lago to decline.

00:04:49.660 Trump ultimately purchased a property then for $7 million, stealing it, illegally in 1985.

00:04:58.860 Some have put the sources at slightly higher.

00:05:02.820 But today, it's abundantly clear that he bought a property for between $7 and $10 million that had an assessed value in the bankruptcy of $20 million with the interior furnishings alone being purchased at $8 million, being appraised at $8 million.

00:05:24.660 So it was indeed a steal. This was the opulent home where Merriweather Post and her famous actress daughter, Dina Merrill, the famous Dina Merrill, she had a children's room there that had a pink hand-painted tile with little bunnies and so on.

00:05:43.420 it's an upstairs bedroom. So the president has left it intact. It is incredible. But

00:05:50.900 Meriwether Post would have these weekends in which she would have 20 or 30 couples. So upstairs 0.99

00:05:57.160 there's an upper deck of private rooms, which is what ultimately lent this to being a club.

00:06:03.600 The president had it as his principal residence until the 1990s, and it is really quite extraordinary.

00:06:15.560 But it was then and only then he decided to make it a club, which was very alarming to the Palm Beach residents

00:06:22.420 because the Bath and Tennis Club and the other more venerable traditional clubs in old Palm Beach

00:06:32.540 I really did not look kindly on people who were black or Hispanic or Jewish or Catholic.

00:06:40.340 And Trump's club, he made clear, would be open to all.

00:06:43.680 He ultimately won the rights to turn part of the state into a private club.

00:06:50.120 And the club now functions while he is there as president, which is an extraordinary thing.

00:06:56.520 The president has his own apartment, which is heavily guarded by the Secret Service.

00:07:01.940 I was always concerned when I visited him during his first presidency and when I visited him in Mar-a-Lago during the beginning of this presidency that the Secret Service protection seemed very lax.

00:07:17.160 That is no longer the case.

00:07:18.980 You have to go through a gauntlet where they have to do a background check on you before you're given a QR code.

00:07:26.200 You have to check in. They go through your car looking with mirrors at the bottom. They go through the trunk and under the hood. They check the vehicles for weapons and so on. So it's much, much tighter. It's, of course, tighter on those nights that the president is there.

00:07:47.300 Now, it's like a medieval court in the sense that the president eats out on this round terrace, and therefore tables closest to his table are covered.

00:07:57.900 His table is surrounded by velvet ropes, and there are four to six secret service agents surrounding his table so that the poor man can eat.

00:08:07.580 Otherwise, he would have an endless stream of people asking for selfies or one to prove themselves to be assistant secretary of the Navy or.

00:08:18.740 And, of course, many of these people are the president's friends and larger donors.

00:08:24.520 But it's interesting to see the way people jockey to catch his eye, to try to anticipate his route when he comes from his private residence out to dinner.

00:08:35.840 There is always a standing ovation when he comes.

00:08:38.860 Of course, he loves that.

00:08:40.760 And if there was a band, the band would be playing Hail to the Chief.

00:08:46.520 The president loves that song.

00:08:49.960 So it's really a mystical place.

00:08:53.200 It's also a place, of course, where a lot of business gets done.

00:08:56.360 The president entertains there on the weekends.

00:09:00.240 and it is there that the reception for his marriage to Melania was held.

00:09:11.640 The actual church was the Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach.

00:09:19.820 It's actually the church at which Trump and the beautiful Melania Knauss got married.

00:09:25.440 My wife and I were guests at that wedding.

00:09:28.280 It was a beautiful, beautiful wedding. It was then the ceremony, which was attended by Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others.

00:09:38.800 Chris Matthews and his wife sat next to my wife and I in our row at church. Go figure.

00:09:45.880 But the president loves Mar-a-Lago. He's relaxed there. And it is great to see these images.

00:09:53.540 I think that the quality of the food cannot be understated.

00:09:58.980 The perfection of the entire experience cannot be understated.

00:10:03.000 The president is fanatical about the quality of the food, and it is just very top-notch in every way.

00:10:13.660 I have a firm policy where I am invited there as a guest because I, of course, am not a member.

00:10:18.580 By the way, membership, which was once, I think, $50,000 has now climbed to close, has now climbed to over a million dollars.

00:10:27.900 I think that price may be negotiable for some friends of the president, but some people have paid as much as two million to become a member of this club, which has obviously a limited number of members.

00:10:40.200 And there's a long, long waiting list.

00:10:42.880 It is the service is extraordinary.

00:10:45.920 The food is incredible.

00:10:48.580 And it is it is a great, great time.

00:10:53.300 I was I guess my blood boiled a little bit over the holidays when I watched Hunter Biden on the Sean Ryan show complaining about how the one percent get away with everything.

00:11:06.400 He's the one who failed to to report millions of dollars of income for he and his family.

00:11:14.440 And the U.S. attorney in Delaware, aware of the fact that he had this unreported income, let those tax charges expire, as opposed to my case in which I simply ran out of money.

00:11:28.780 But I reported every penny of my taxes and I reported every all of my assets.

00:11:35.600 The Biden Justice Department sued me in a civil action, but the press release didn't live up to their indictment and there was no evidence of tax evasion.

00:11:45.580 My wife and I simply ran out of cash and we will be paying them with interest in penalties probably for the rest of our lives.

00:11:52.640 But we had paid them irregularly for seven years without missing a payment until they bankrupted me.

00:11:58.040 And then they sued me over my inability to pay.

00:12:01.460 makes for little sense, quite different than Hunter Biden, who skipped out on millions and

00:12:07.200 millions of income that he never declared. And again, the government let those charges expire

00:12:15.320 knowingly. So it was outrageous for him to be complaining about the 1% who get away with 0.58

00:12:21.100 everything. The 1% is Joe Biden and his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter, who we could call the

00:12:28.600 facilitator. Once again, Hunter Biden says in his interview with Sean Ryan, who's a very popular

00:12:34.280 podcast, that the laptop has been manipulated or is somehow not real. All of that is false.

00:12:41.560 The laptop results, as reported by the New York Post, story broken by Miranda Devine,

00:12:47.960 well covered in Breitbart News. The New York Post got banned before the election off of

00:12:53.720 twitter over that story which was that is itself is outrageous all of that has been documented by

00:13:01.260 the marco polo uh non-profit organization you can go to marco polo.org marco polo.org

00:13:09.300 you can download all of the laptop or you can get the printed version it's appropriately blurred in

00:13:16.260 the parts that are pornographic but what you see there are 154 crimes mostly the crime of bribery

00:13:23.520 but also crimes of treason in which the Biden crime family syndicate took in millions and

00:13:30.420 millions of dollars. And some of it, yes, went to the big guy, Joe Biden. So the idea that he's

00:13:38.340 complaining that some people get away with everything is really extraordinary. You're

00:13:44.160 listening to Roger Stone on this Christmas day right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks. And

00:13:50.500 We've got more on the other side, so don't go away.

00:13:57.220 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:04.320 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:14:08.120 So I went to the White House Christmas Party last Monday night, and it was an extraordinary experience.

00:14:15.320 The president, of course, spoke briefly, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy was there, Attorney General Pam Bondi was there, Republican strategist and pollster Tony Fabrizio was there.

00:14:34.660 It was the FBI director, Cash Patel, was there, the CIA director, John Ratcliffe, was there.

00:14:43.420 It was a great, great crowd. Laura Loomer was there, to the surprise of some, and it was very, very elegant. The Marine String Quartet played. The food was extraordinary.

00:14:59.140 They had this tenderloin that would just blow your mind, but incredible smoked salmon, pork belly, which was very interesting.

00:15:12.260 Great, great desserts.

00:15:13.860 I mean, the food was extraordinary, although I barely got to nibble on it.

00:15:19.040 It's instructive, I think, to look at how the presidents have treated Christmas in the White House.

00:15:24.680 On the holiest of days, this is the holiest of day, it's interesting that in the earliest days of the republic, Christmas was not the major public holiday that we know today.

00:15:37.040 Presidents like Washington and John Adams treated it really as a quiet religious observance, often marked by church attendance, private family meals, handwritten correspondence, but no tradition of gift giving and so on.

00:15:52.320 The president himself was deliberately restrained in those days,

00:15:55.840 and so there were no decorations, like no public celebrations and no political theater.

00:16:01.700 That began to change in the 19th century.

00:16:03.820 Christmas naturally evolved into the national holiday.

00:16:07.060 America developed into a preeminent world power.

00:16:10.660 Presidents, or let's face it, politicians, increasingly used it symbolically

00:16:17.100 as an example of civic virtue and family life.

00:16:20.460 So Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln kept modest criticism because they were both affected by a war.

00:16:29.140 But Lincoln, who was governing during the Civil War, continued the tradition of charity.

00:16:34.100 I mean, donating to wounded soldiers and orphans while reminding Americans that peace and goodwill were not luxuries during the Christmas months.

00:16:44.620 The modern White House really took place in the late 1800s.

00:16:48.460 1800s. Benjamin Harris was actually the first president to install

00:16:52.920 a Christmas tree. He used to call him Benny, I'm told, in

00:16:56.640 1889, setting a precedent that endures today.

00:17:01.580 If you've looked at some of our middle presidents

00:17:04.780 like Benjamin Harris and others,

00:17:08.780 it's amazing. A lot of these guys, it kind of looks like ZZ Top,

00:17:12.440 Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield. These guys

00:17:16.820 all long beards, but those were among some of our greatest, if less, heralded presidents.

00:17:24.780 By the 20th century, Christmas had become more of a family celebration, symbolic moment

00:17:31.300 of national unity.

00:17:33.220 That symbolism was used very extensively by Franklin Roosevelt, who gave a Christmas

00:17:41.000 a radio address every year, which for a sitting president was a very big deal.

00:17:48.700 Radio addresses by Roosevelt emphasize sacrifice, faith, endurance, messages

00:17:55.580 meant for the factory workers and soldiers overseas.

00:17:59.580 So Christmas helps boy spirits during the war.

00:18:03.300 Anyway, we're back in just a moment on this Christmas Day, so don't go away.

00:18:12.000 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:18:19.320 Welcome back into The Stone Zone.

00:18:22.620 If you've read any of my books, The Man Who Killed Kennedy, The Case Against LBJ, or The

00:18:30.580 Bush Crime Family, The Clinton's War on Women, the book in which I am, I think, the second

00:18:38.740 author in the country to fully expose Jeffrey Epstein, and his closeness to Bill Clinton,

00:18:46.040 as well as the bounds of his relationship with Donald Trump. And of course, there is the making

00:18:53.380 of the president 2016. The judge threatened to throw me in jail when I published a book entitled

00:19:02.580 the myth of Russian collusion, claiming that it would violate a gag order,

00:19:07.740 even though the publication date was prior to the imposition of that unconstitutional gag order.

00:19:16.220 See, that's the worst thing about being lynched by the federal government.

00:19:20.240 They take away your rights in court.

00:19:23.080 You're not allowed to prove your innocence, although under the law,

00:19:26.340 they're supposed to prove your guilt.

00:19:27.560 You're not required to prove your innocence, but you're really required to do so.

00:19:31.520 But they won't allow you to introduce any evidence that would do so.

00:19:35.480 So in my case, it was based on the false premise that the Russians, through their intelligence, had hacked to the DNC.

00:19:44.140 They were subject to an online hack, and that information had somehow made its way to WikiLeaks through me or with my knowledge,

00:19:55.240 which is, of course, not true because I could have proved with forensic evidence and expert testimony that there was no online hack.

00:20:04.740 The FBI admitted they never examined the devices.

00:20:08.320 So one of the two pillars of the Russian collusion that the Russians hacked, the DNC, is a complete fabrication.

00:20:14.980 The head of the company who made that assessment, Fusion GPS, actually testified, probably CrowdStrike, wrong company, CrowdStrike, who Sean Henry, who happened to be a former deputy of special counsel Robert Mueller, testified that he had no such proof that the Russians had hacked the DNC.

00:20:39.560 But I was allowed to show that in court.

00:20:43.800 History, the fake news media just kind of makes the narrative.

00:20:48.460 I've been studying the career of the much vilified Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

00:20:55.460 McCarthy has been typecast in history as a villain.

00:21:01.460 And his critics insist that he was a reckless, drunk demagogue.

00:21:06.900 and that he destroyed innocent people for which he actually would be censured by the U.S. Senate.

00:21:14.700 That's because Joe McCarthy went after communism as the international menace,

00:21:22.040 which had indeed infiltrated our government.

00:21:26.480 And in truth, everything McCarthy exposed, including communists like Bella Dodd and Owen Lattimore and others,

00:21:34.900 were indeed Russian agents.

00:21:39.020 If you have any questions about the fact that McCarthy

00:21:41.520 actually ferreted out and exposed communist corruption in our government,

00:21:45.220 there's a book called Blacklisted by History by M. Stanchion Evans.

00:21:51.320 Ann Coulter once called this the greatest book written since the Bible.

00:21:55.460 And it tells in painstaking detail how tail gunner Joe,

00:22:02.320 an ex-Marine

00:22:04.780 actually exposed the communist corruption 0.66

00:22:07.820 that today thoroughly infects our federal government 0.77

00:22:11.140 academia, entertainment and business 1.00

00:22:13.360 with the Chinese communists 0.92

00:22:15.600 buying influence at the highest levels

00:22:19.060 of US government

00:22:21.160 and all of those institutions 0.56

00:22:24.840 Joe McCarthy was absolutely right

00:22:28.040 McCarthy himself is kind of an interesting character

00:22:31.940 He was a country judge, a Marine veteran who was indeed a tail gunner, who challenged Robert M. La Follette Jr. in a U.S. Senate primary.

00:22:47.740 La Follette was a sitting U.S. senator and incumbent, and he was the son of Robert M. La Follette Sr., who had also been a U.S. senator.

00:22:57.540 They dominated the Republican Party, later became progressives, but McCarthy really, just by his dogged driving county to county and campaigning as a country judge and without really mentioning the communist menace yet, won the U.S. Senate seat and beating a Lafayette in Wisconsin was an extraordinary feat.

00:23:23.820 Now, Joe McCarthy, whose name is now tied to McCarthyism, hasn't been vilified as one of the great villains of all times, but he actually once employed both Roy Cohn, later the notorious lawyer and power broker, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Sr.

00:23:46.780 Interestingly enough, Joe McCarthy, as a bachelor, actually briefly dated Patricia Kennedy, the sister to President John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, who later married the actor Peter Wofford.

00:24:03.600 joseph r joseph r mccarski uh pardon me joseph p kennedy john kennedy's father

00:24:13.460 who's a partner with frank uh uh partner with the mob really with frank costello uh controlling all

00:24:22.820 of bootlegging and illegal liquor liquor from new york all the way up to the canadian border

00:24:29.060 also a flamboyant former SEC chairman, bought a Hollywood studio, made millions of dollars on

00:24:38.360 Wall Street. Joe Kennedy was a strong anti-communist, a close friend and supporter

00:24:44.800 of J. Edgar Hoover's, really the man who pushed John F. Kennedy into the presidency,

00:24:50.620 but he was a major donor to Senator McCarthy. When Joe McCarthy died, Robert and Ethel Kennedy

00:24:58.280 were actually the lone Democrats at Joe McCarthy's funeral.

00:25:04.900 Roy Cohn, of course, was the son of a Tammany judge

00:25:08.540 who'd used his father's political connections to become a federal prosecutor.

00:25:14.280 Cohn famously prosecuted the Rosenberg case.

00:25:18.220 He has a very famous line in front of the judge

00:25:20.720 when the judge asks him if there's any doubt about the request for the death penalty.

00:25:27.520 And Cohn said, Your Honor, if I could flip the switch myself, I would.

00:25:34.280 He joined McCarthy as counsel to a subcommittee.

00:25:38.720 Cohn was actually a genius in many ways.

00:25:41.920 He was McCarthy's brain.

00:25:43.840 He understood the tabloid media.

00:25:46.600 He had very close relationships among the reporters and columnists who shaped the public narrative about what was happening in Washington.

00:25:56.580 And Cohn was very adept at leaking information to Bill McCarthy's image and the public profile of their fight against communism.

00:26:09.160 McCarthy was was was given to pretty heavy drinking.

00:26:17.040 And in the end, of course, they tried to accuse him of being a drunk.

00:26:20.780 But the problem was McCarthy struck too close to home, made the fatal mistake of taking on the U.S. Army, and that would end his downfall.

00:26:31.520 President Eisenhower, who McCarthy had supported in 1952, turned decisively against him.

00:26:39.100 And the media of its day, led by Edward R. Murrow, a very powerful radio voice, and all of the other major columnists, 0.96

00:26:50.140 turned on McCarthy with a vengeance, distorting his claims, depicting him as a bully, a drunkard, a homosexual, and a villain. 0.96

00:27:00.280 But that's not the true story of Senator Joe McCarthy. 0.94

00:27:06.760 Tail gunner Joe rose to prominence in the 1950s actually because he dared to state a truth that the American establishment in the day found intolerable.

00:27:16.100 Communism was not just some foreign abstraction, but it was a domestic infestation.

00:27:22.320 As a driving member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, quite separately from McCarthy, Congressman Richard M. Nixon proved that Alger Hiss had been a communist spy.

00:27:37.000 Now, Hiss ultimately would be convicted of perjury for lying about being a communist spy, and the liberals insisted for years that Nixon, who used the Hiss case to spring into national prominence, because a communist spy who'd been at the highest levels had been at Roosevelt's sleeve at Yalta, had been at the highest levels of the State Department that divided up Europe and gave control.

00:28:07.000 of half and much of Europe to Russian communism, put them behind the Iron Curtain, was a huge

00:28:16.520 story that catapulted Nixon into national prominence.

00:28:20.640 It's interesting that years later, when the Soviet Russian government fell and all of

00:28:29.580 the KGB records were finally revealed, we found that, in fact, Alger Hiss actually was

00:28:36.180 a Russian spy. And actually, and Alger Hiss had been passed documents by a fellow communist at

00:28:44.360 the time, Whitaker Chambers. Whitaker Chambers was an editor at Time. He was a hard-drinking and

00:28:52.860 intellectual and very religious man who had been a communist, become disillusioned,

00:29:00.100 had become a conservative, but he had testified that Hiss passed him microfilm documents to pass

00:29:09.720 to their Russian handlers. Alger Hiss denied that, denied knowing Chambers, later conceded that he

00:29:19.400 may have known Chambers under a different name. But ultimately, the typewriter that Hiss had used

00:29:26.280 to send things to chambers and the exact match proved that chambers was telling the truth anyway

00:29:33.460 the russian records would later tell us uh that that uh that alger his was a spy so nixon was

00:29:42.400 absolutely right about that uh it is amazing how they have vilified uh mccarthy uh he fought in

00:29:52.640 the hearing rooms, the committee chambers, media arenas, where reputations were easily weaponized

00:29:58.480 and truth was treated as heresy. He did it during the post-war moment when Stalin had already 0.76

00:30:04.540 enslaved Eastern Europe, Mao had butchered China, and American secrets were already bleeding into 0.58

00:30:10.000 Soviet hands. The Rosenberg case, of course, is a personal example. McCarthy understood this 0.58

00:30:16.260 civilization would collapse not only by invasion, but by internal corrosion. This is what McCarthy

00:30:21.780 turned out to be absolutely right about you recognize america could be strangled slowly 0.81

00:30:27.460 through bureaucratic capture cultural degradation and moral disarmament or as they said in pogo we

00:30:34.460 have met the enemy and they is us the communist infiltration in our government ended up with our

00:30:42.340 using usaid to actually fund every crazy cockamamie left-wing color revolution pro-impeachment

00:30:50.960 anti-free enterprise, pro-censorship initiative unimaginable,

00:30:59.380 including many that were strictly and totally political.

00:31:04.020 So they were using our own tax dollars against Donald Trump

00:31:08.520 and anyone who agreed with him, 0.99

00:31:11.620 meanwhile undermining us and helping give more and more power to the Chinese. 0.90

00:31:18.740 Unless one wakes up to the great danger of China, one does not understand the peril that America faces. 0.94

00:31:26.140 Russia, I'm no fan of the Russians. 0.80

00:31:28.520 I have relatives mowed down by Russian tanks in Budapest in 1956, and they are authoritarians. 1.00

00:31:37.700 But we share with them a problem with radical Islam. 0.99

00:31:41.900 They are a Christian-based nation, and the churches are open, although somewhat controlled. 0.92

00:31:49.300 And at the same time, China is moving into a vacuum around the world.

00:31:55.240 China has brought up near control of rare earth minerals that need to make things like chips and batteries and other key elements.

00:32:03.480 President Trump has an initiative to very quickly get Americans mining, control of mining of these rare earth minerals.

00:32:12.860 They have also given huge dollars to academic institutions.

00:32:16.960 They paid Joe Biden, the former vice president, almost one million dollars to endow a chair for classes that he never taught so that he just was essentially putting Chinese money into his pocket.

00:32:30.720 Of course, he won't be prosecuted for that because he's he's part of that one percent that Hunter Biden was whining about who get away with everything.

00:32:41.660 Anyway, I'm Roger Stone. Thanks for joining us on this Christmas Day show.

00:32:46.580 On the day, Richard Nixon bombed Hanoi very famously, said that he left the Oval Office and went over to his corner office in the old executive office building. 0.71

00:32:59.120 And after talking with Dr. Kissinger, made the decision to devastatingly blow the attack North Vietnam on Christmas Day to try to bring them around. 0.79

00:33:13.220 Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone. 0.79

00:33:15.780 And whenever you do, don't touch that dial and keep listening because we'll be right back.

00:33:24.080 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:33:31.580 And we're back in the Stone Zone.

00:33:34.100 I continue to examine the case of Rahmanullah Lakawal, the Afghan national who is now charged with fatally shooting two National Guard members near the White House last month.

00:33:49.380 Only one of the two died, thankfully. The second life was saved. A move that will now set this monster up to deceive the death penalty.

00:34:04.100 Fulfilling a pledge made by Attorney General Pam Bondi. 0.94

00:34:07.520 But what surprises me is, black and white, 29, got into the country and had only one year to apply for asylum.

00:34:20.240 And this is when Joe Biden left in 2022, I believe it was.

00:34:26.560 Yet he waited two years, three years, past the time he was supposed to receive asylum to get asylum status.

00:34:35.200 That's quite suspicious.

00:34:36.660 But then you learn that he worked with and for the CIA in the country, in Afghanistan.

00:34:46.980 So I believe that he is or was an asset.

00:34:51.540 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said that their hit office sees the gravity of the crime, noting that that the woman who was murdered, Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was therefore allowed prosecutors to consider capital punishment.

00:35:12.400 and Beckstrom tragically shot with her own service weapon.

00:35:19.300 Both the other officer, both of these fine Americans from West Virginia,

00:35:25.900 has survived, for which we really are quite grateful.

00:35:32.660 The U.S. Attorney says that they are going to seek the death penalty.

00:35:38.660 Lackawal was wounded

00:35:41.220 Entered the United States in 2021

00:35:43.780 It was just months

00:35:45.820 Actually after Joe Biden

00:35:47.520 Boxed the Afghan withdrawal

00:35:49.420 Leaving

00:35:50.580 I think 31, 39

00:35:53.460 31 I think it is 1.00

00:35:55.560 Service people to die 1.00

00:35:57.380 And additionally leaving 1.00

00:35:59.860 Not hundreds of millions but

00:36:01.100 Billions of dollars of sophisticated

00:36:03.120 Military equipment behind

00:36:05.200 Equipment immediately transferred 1.00

00:36:07.400 to the communist chinese who technologically knocked it off and one of the stupidest things 1.00

00:36:13.760 ever at a minimum as trump has pointed out our military should have destroyed it on their way 0.98

00:36:18.560 out to stop it from falling in enemy hands if we couldn't get all of this very sophisticated

00:36:25.260 military equipment out of the country it is very interesting that he has porously moved

00:36:35.620 into this country. But thousands of others were let through the floodgates at the same time.

00:36:41.820 We were told by the administration that these people were scrupulously screened. But if that

00:36:50.640 were true, then he would never have been able to get in three years after the deadline. So I think

00:36:59.720 it is abundantly clear uh that that there's more to the story uh and this this looks to me like a

00:37:10.080 terrorist act now i keep reading that they're searching for his motive yeah it is also reported

00:37:15.680 in the same reports that he held ali akbar in which case his motive i think is abundantly clear

00:37:24.780 But I'd like to be certain that he was, in fact, a fanatic operating on his own and not an asset, given his background and the strange circumstances into which he got into the country.

00:37:39.820 They call this a conspiracy theorist because we're trying to look at the facts of all of these complicated cases.

00:37:46.600 And we just don't believe what the mainstream media tells us in any of these high level publicly prominent cases.

00:37:58.720 So this is yet another one to watch.

00:38:01.940 Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone.

00:38:04.320 We are redeemed in the blood of the cross, and it is through him that all things are possible.
