The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 12-31-25

00:00:00.480 Did you know that St. Luke's University Health Network, based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania,

00:00:05.680 has been recognized by the U.S. government as the highest performing health system in the United

00:00:10.720 States for quality? You heard right. St. Luke's number one recognition affirms our status as the

00:00:16.400 top leader among the most respected healthcare providers in the nation, including Houston

00:00:21.200 Methodist and the Mayo Clinic. To state it simply, if you want to receive the best care when you go

00:00:26.480 Go to a hospital? Come to St. Luke's.

00:00:30.500 The Stone Zone.

00:00:32.520 Entertaining and informative.

00:00:34.660 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:37.600 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:41.060 When I spoke at the Turning Point USA gathering in Phoenix only a week ago,

00:00:46.640 I specifically in my remarks called for the prosecution of those who I said,

00:00:53.040 and to this day believe, engaged in a seditious conspiracy to remove a duly elected president of

00:01:01.420 the United States. That same enduring conspiracy went on to stage two completely fraudulent

00:01:09.420 impeachments, then went on to, I believe, steal the 2020 election, then morphed into the January

00:01:18.820 6th fiasco, and then ended up in the Jack Smith investigation and attempted prosecution of Donald

00:01:27.460 Trump regarding January 6th and also regarding his retention of classified documents, which under

00:01:35.920 the Presidential Records Act, President Trump was entitled to keep any place he wanted, and that

00:01:43.080 included Mar-a-Lago. There's been enormous criticism of Attorney General Pam Bondi and

00:01:49.800 Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for not taking action against those who clearly plotted

00:01:57.360 to remove Donald Trump from the presidency. Today, however, there was some good news.

00:02:03.480 Attorney General Pam Bondi released a message sending a clear and indisputable comment that

00:02:12.060 the era of political weaponization inside the federal government is indeed going to come to an

00:02:17.000 end. Bondi, in her statement today made to just the news, said that her office has now launched

00:02:23.180 a sweeping investigation into what she described as years of coordinated lawfare carried out during

00:02:30.560 the Obama and Biden administrations. The focus is on whether federal agencies were weaponized to

00:02:37.320 protect political allies while targeting conservatives like myself, like General Michael

00:02:42.940 Flynn, like President Donald Trump and his family, as well as other Trump supporters. Bondi revealed

00:02:49.200 that federal prosecutors are examining what she called a, quote, 10-year stain on the Justice

00:02:55.800 Department, one that may amount to an ongoing seditious criminal conspiracy. By treating the

00:03:03.080 abuse of power as a continuing offensive, investigators can pursue accountability even

00:03:08.920 for actions that would otherwise fall outside the statute of limitations. This is an absolutely

00:03:14.720 crucial point for those who say that we're running out of time. While we may be running out of time

00:03:21.580 to prosecute those who basically orchestrated the January 6th fiasco, that's a legal question

00:03:29.940 will turn to in a second, I believe, based on my conversations with noted constitutional lawyers

00:03:36.060 like David Schoen and others, that there is no constitutional limit on the broader question of

00:03:44.380 seditious conspiracy. As Attorney General Bonley correctly notes, the evidence is already uncovered

00:03:50.140 paints a disturbing picture. Thanks to Tulsi Gabbard, who currently serves as the Director

00:03:56.240 of national intelligence. She declassified all the documents that could have been declassified

00:04:03.300 in President Trump's first term. But for some reason, CIA director John Radcliffe, who was then

00:04:09.880 the national security advisor, did not do so. Bondi says that federal law enforcement shielded

00:04:17.240 political elites like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton, while aggressively pursuing conservatives

00:04:22.480 using questionable warrants, surveillance tactics, and politically motivated investigations.

00:04:28.600 Bondi confirmed that internal FBI documents show that even agents doubted the legal ramifications

00:04:34.620 and justification of the raid on Mar-a-Lago by President Trump, but the Justice Department

00:04:40.460 carried out that raid anyway. Attorney General Bondi credited her department with releasing

00:04:45.640 unprecedented volumes of documentation to Congress, exposing what she called a two-tiered justice 0.66

00:04:51.560 system. She said no one is above the law, and that includes those who believe they could weaponize

00:04:57.100 government against political opponents. The attorney general also took aim at former CIA

00:05:02.260 director John Brennan, accusing him of trying to interfere with ongoing grand jury investigations

00:05:07.260 by seeking judicial intervention. This is almost unbelievable. John Brennan, the Islamic convert,

00:05:14.380 the admitted communist, the CIA director, who really was the major orchestrator of the Russian

00:05:22.240 collusion hoax, has actually asked a federal judge in the southern district of Florida

00:05:30.740 to intervene and end an ongoing grand jury investigation into his actions. Well, on the one

00:05:38.120 hand, I salute Attorney General Bondi for initiating this conversation and this investigation.

00:05:43.520 It's been a long time coming.

00:05:45.840 But if there are dozens, if there are not dozens of deep state spooks put behind bars relatively quickly,

00:05:52.580 and I mean before the midterms, well, then a massive justice will have been failed and a political opportunity will have been squandered.

00:06:03.160 This investigation cannot be the typical federal stalling gambit that's designed to kick the can down the road.

00:06:10.380 We need indictments, we need trials, and we need them quickly. It's time to lock these criminals up.

00:06:18.540 In the meantime, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dillon, who I both know and like,

00:06:25.060 assured President Trump supporters that justice for the crimes committed by the January 6th Committee will come.

00:06:31.520 This was music to my ears because I can tell you definitively that the one-sided January 6th committee used totally AI-fabricated audios and videos to put words in my mouth, words that I never actually said.

00:06:46.720 In fact, an FBI investigation into January 6th concluded that neither Alex Jones or I had either known in advance about, condoned or approved or participated in any illegal action on January 6th or any other day for that matter.

00:07:06.360 So this is an interesting exchange.

00:07:10.520 Harmeet Dillon was responding to a post from conservative influencer Gunther Eagleman, another friend of mine, who reminded Attorney General Pam Bondi the statute of limitations on the January 6th members was about to expire.

00:07:25.940 He wrote, Dear Pam Bondi, please don't let the statute of limitations run out on the January 6th criminals.

00:07:31.880 There are only 12 more days.

00:07:33.280 He wrote, they all need to be held accountable for the treason they submitted.

00:07:38.140 78 million Americans who voted for President Trump join me in this demand.

00:07:43.720 Please do not let the statute of limitations run out.

00:07:46.940 They all need to be held accountable for the treason they committed.

00:07:51.140 Now, Trump and Bondi say they are working to bring justice to those who weaponize January 6th, according to Dillon.

00:07:59.280 No statute of limitations will hinder the Department of Justice's efforts to bring justice to those who weaponize persecution of American citizens on January 6th, and there is not a deadline for DOJ to bring prosecutions.

00:08:14.600 I must admit that I am a little confused, but I'm at a disadvantage because I am a non-lawyer.

00:08:21.220 Well, maybe that's actually an advantage.

00:08:23.420 But according to Dillon, she says, my boss, Pam Bindy, works around the clock to bring justice for all Americans. 0.95

00:08:30.180 She continued, don't be a hater and a simp for weaponized online disinformation.

00:08:35.340 Now, look, I think that the January 6th committee is one of the greatest scandals of all time.

00:08:43.700 The January 6th Committee conducted its investigation without bipartisan oversight.

00:08:49.660 They used selectively presented evidence.

00:08:53.680 They failed to preserve key records.

00:08:57.760 They falsified a number of records.

00:09:00.480 They buried key information, which would have told a much broader story, one of a Fed surrection.

00:09:07.780 The committee also declined to examine security failures at the Capitol.

00:09:11.480 They failed to investigate the role of congressional leadership and law enforcement decisions that were made prior to January 6th.

00:09:20.320 Federal prosecutors relied on expanded and novel legal theories to charge defendants, including nonviolent individuals, while imposing prolonged pretrial detention in countless cases.

00:09:32.480 Lives were destroyed.

00:09:34.100 Lives were ruined.

00:09:35.660 And there must be some accountability and justice.

00:09:39.020 The Department of Justice and the FBI also courted closely with the committee through their entire investigation, using January 6th as the basis for sweeping surveillance, prosecutions, and sentencing strategies that treated political protest as domestic extremism.

00:09:56.220 The campaign destroyed the lives of thousands of Americans, leading many into depression, physical illness, and even suicide. 0.92

00:10:04.320 I pray that Harmeet Dillon is right. I pray that justice is indeed coming.

00:10:11.020 Meanwhile, proving that one person can make a difference, Nick Shirley, who is a 20-something independent journalist whose findings and research are found mostly on social media,

00:10:24.740 has almost single-handedly uncovered a growing multi-million dollar scandal in the state of

00:10:34.040 Minnesota. This political scandal is now engulfing the Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar as

00:10:42.360 serious questions mount over her family's sudden wealth, her husband's business dealings, and a

00:10:48.400 massive taxpayer-funded fraud that unfolded right under her watch, as well as the watch of Governor

00:10:54.800 Tim Walz, of course, in Minnesota. According to multiple reports now, Omar went from having a

00:11:00.380 negative net worth when she entered Congress to being worth as much as $30 million in just a few

00:11:06.460 years. This is a stunning financial turnaround that coincides with one of the largest COVID-era

00:11:13.660 era welfare fraud schemes in U.S. history. That scheme, which exploited federal pandemic food

00:11:20.660 programs, child care programs, and transportation programs, has so far led to nearly 90 criminal

00:11:27.940 charges, many tied to individuals in Omar's circle in her own district. It was new reporting

00:11:35.160 from Nick Shirley showing how dozens of health care and child care operations receive millions

00:11:41.680 of our tax dollars, when in fact they were inoperable, oftentimes businesses are located

00:11:47.080 in empty buildings with no hint of any staffers or any administration or any patients or consumers.

00:11:55.380 This scandal is not, unfortunately, limited to Minnesota. We now have evidence that there are

00:12:02.440 limited, there are unlimited scandals in Ohio, in Michigan, in Washington State. Before this is over,

00:12:10.680 I think this will balloon to be a billion-dollar scandal right under our own noses.

00:12:16.920 This is, of course, exactly what Elon Musk was uncovering in his Doge expositions, his Doge exposures.

00:12:25.040 Several of the fraudsters charged in Minnesota had personal or political connections to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

00:12:33.460 Others were major donors to her campaign, while others worked on her elections.

00:12:39.140 At the center of renewed scrutiny, in this case, is Omar's husband, political consultant Tim Minette. His venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, reportedly ballooned in value from being worth nearly nothing to being worth tens of millions of dollars in a very short span.

00:12:59.620 All while operating out of a Washington, D.C. temporary office space and quietly removing the names of high-profile Democratic insiders from its website.

00:13:11.160 Critics note that this financial surge followed Ilhan Omar's push for the Meals Act legislation that loosened oversight of federal food aid programs during COVID.

00:13:22.560 Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, the vice presidential candidate for the Democrats, also pushed hard for the leasing oversight of these federal food programs, as well as increased payments.

00:13:35.980 Prosecutors now say that those relaxed rules were exploited by fraudsters who billed the government and the taxpayers for millions of meals that were never actually served and eaten. 0.95

00:13:47.460 Now abundantly clear that Omar is just another Somali fraudster, just another parasite looking for another avenue to grift and extract money from the host population. 0.96

00:13:57.360 It's time to lock her up or better yet, deport her because I believe she lied on her immigration documents and was in fact married to her own brother to justify her immigration to the United States. 1.00

00:14:10.000 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone.

00:14:12.220 the stone zone entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network and we're back

00:14:24.000 in the stone zone new york attorney general letitia james is once again facing scrutiny 0.97

00:14:29.760 over deep financial ties to far-left billionaire george soros as new campaign finance records

00:14:36.640 reveal the extent of his influence behind her political rise. Since 2019, Soros and his family

00:14:43.360 members have poured more than $71,000 directly into James' campaign coffers, including $31,000

00:14:50.920 this year alone, as she seeks another term. That includes $18,000 from George Soros himself,

00:14:58.560 $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros. That may not seem like very much money,

00:15:03.240 but it's an indicator that their powerful network is fully behind Letitia James.

00:15:08.180 The Soros Network has dropped tens of millions of dollars funneled through Soros-backed activist groups

00:15:13.820 that aggressively shape New York's entire political landscape. 0.59

00:15:18.460 Now, a looming problem for Attorney General Letitia James are the millions of dollars that she raised through ActBlue. 0.99

00:15:26.440 ActBlue is a Democrat payment processing company that collected millions and millions of dollars

00:15:33.280 from various Democrat candidates, but very cleverly, they turned the feature in which

00:15:40.260 you're required, if you're paying with a credit card or through Apple Pay, you are required to

00:15:46.860 submit an address. Once that address matches the address on your credit card, you would be entitled

00:15:53.000 to give. Unfortunately, ActBlue turned that function off and therefore when you go to the

00:16:00.260 website, when you go to Letitia James's reports and you begin to trace these donations, you find

00:16:07.360 a very high percentage of them when you contact them directly or at their front step say that

00:16:13.560 they gave no such contributions. They're not familiar with Letitia James. In some cases,

00:16:18.600 some will respond that they remember giving a contribution to Hillary Clinton, but that was

00:16:24.760 years ago. ActBlue is one of the great, great unwritten scandals of our day. And I think you're

00:16:31.780 going to find that a substantial amount of the money that boosted the candidacy of Letitia James

00:16:39.920 was indeed from non-existent sources. Sources Open Society Network has pumped nearly $24 million.

00:16:47.400 dollars, meanwhile, into the radical left Working Families Party since 2016, while the party's New

00:16:53.740 York branch received $900,000 more directly from Soros family members. Letitia James has long

00:17:01.020 aligned herself with the group's far left agenda, first winning office as a Working Families Party

00:17:05.840 candidate before running statewide as a Democrat. Critics say the relationship explains James'

00:17:11.920 aggressive and politically charged crusade against President Donald Trump, including her

00:17:16.900 high-profile civil case accusing him of inflating his net worth, a case of blatant lawfare that

00:17:22.720 was overturned in the appellate court. Letitia James is going to be hoist on the same petard 0.61

00:17:28.480 that she hoist Donald Trump on. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone,

00:17:32.900 and we'll be right back.

00:17:46.900 And we're back in the Stone Zone.

00:17:50.300 Well, President Donald Trump believes that a peace deal to end the war on Ukraine is closer than ever,

00:17:55.000 following a diplomatic meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago resort yesterday.

00:18:02.760 While no agreement has yet been finalized, Trump signaled optimism, saying both sides want it to end.

00:18:08.200 The talks are now in their final stages.

00:18:11.200 Every American prays for the end to this meat grinder, this horrific war.

00:18:17.640 Zelensky publicly thanked President Trump and his team, including envoy Steve Witkoff and his advisor, son-in-law Jared Kushner, for their continued engagement and their mediation.

00:18:28.100 Zelensky said the discussions were productive and noted that roughly 90 percent of a draft peace plan framework had been agreed upon.

00:18:36.320 Still, major sticking points evidently remain, particularly over territory in eastern Ukraine, as well as long-term security guarantees.

00:18:46.740 President Trump acknowledged those challenges, saying the remains issues are thorny, but insisted that progress is indeed being made.

00:18:53.820 I think it is abundantly clear that the American people are tired of paying for this war.

00:18:58.260 They're particularly tired of the fact that there is a widespread belief that not all of the funds appropriated for this war have ended up in the war effort, much of it ending up in the pockets of Zelensky and his Confederates.

00:19:11.960 Some of it, according to Elon Musk and my good friend Tim Burchett, member of Congress from Tennessee, ending up in the pockets of the very politicians here in the United States who voted to give this money.

00:19:25.200 That needs to be an investigation, that's for sure.

00:19:28.260 President Trump has confirmed that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly

00:19:32.400 before meeting Zelensky, describing that call as good and very productive.

00:19:37.160 Now, President Trump, who I've known for 50 years, is above all a dealmaker.

00:19:42.560 He's a negotiator.

00:19:44.280 President Trump said he believes that Putin wants to end the war, though he conceded that

00:19:47.820 Russia has not backed away from all of its demands.

00:19:51.120 The meeting came amid renewed Russian missile and drone strikes on Kiev, the major city

00:19:57.220 in Ukraine, which left several dead and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

00:20:03.180 While European leaders condemned the attacks, President Trump declined to directly criticize

00:20:08.540 Moscow, arguing that both sides have carried out military actions and the continued escalation

00:20:14.020 will only prolong the war. The U.S. taxpayer is already footing billions in aid. President Trump's

00:20:19.980 push for negotiations rather than continued posturing and saber-rattling against Russia

00:20:24.760 is a long overdue attempt to put America's interests first.

00:20:29.420 President Trump has artfully, I believe, positioned himself as a central figure

00:20:33.920 capable of bringing both sides to the table,

00:20:36.920 enforcing a conversation that globalist insiders have been holding back on for years.

00:20:45.640 I do think that an end to this war is in order.

00:20:50.280 I think the president really knows that he has a great deal riding on it.

00:20:55.620 But I was very disappointed to see Mike Pompeo undercut the president's peace initiative just minutes ago when I was looking on X, used to be known as Twitter.

00:21:08.760 Mike Pompeo supporting continued war, supporting the continued corruption of Ukraine.

00:21:16.880 I think most Americans want to see this war over.

00:21:21.120 I pray that the president is successful.

00:21:23.220 Peace seems to be closer than ever.

00:21:25.800 But rather than just lay back and enjoy this period between Christmas and New Year's, President Trump is fully engaged.

00:21:33.500 I believe he's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today.

00:21:38.840 This is a day after meeting with Zelensky.

00:21:40.720 So the president continues to work for peace and all Americans pray for his success.

00:21:47.500 Meanwhile, the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, you're familiar with him.

00:21:52.020 He's the illegal immigrant from El Salvador with noted ties to the violent MS-13 gang who's been accused of smuggling other illegals in the U.S.,

00:22:01.100 continues to show how immigration is held hostage by liberal activist judges and attorneys who make a complete and utter mockery of the rule of law.

00:22:10.480 While facing serious human smuggling charges, Albrego Garcia appeared in a TikTok video lip-syncing to music, prompting outrage from DHS, that's the Department of Homeland Security officials, who believe this illegal alien is making a mockery of the entire notion of justice.

00:22:28.320 The Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, responded to this disgusting video, noting that while federal authorities are under a court-imposed gag order, the accused is free to post on social media.

00:22:41.940 I've been in this exact situation. When I was charged in a fabricated case of lying to oath to Congress about Russian collusion that never actually existed, the judge put a gag order on me in which I was not allowed to defend myself in any public forum.

00:23:02.720 not social media, not radio, not cable, not television. It was an outrage. Of course, when

00:23:08.760 James Comey, the FBI director, was charged with the exact same crime that I was charged with,

00:23:15.400 the court but no such restriction on him. Just like they raided my home at six o'clock in the

00:23:21.200 morning, 29 heavily armed FBI agents in full SWAT gear wearing night goggles and swarming my home

00:23:29.240 while brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons.

00:23:33.440 James Comey, charged with the exact same crime as I was,

00:23:36.980 well, he was allowed to saunter in 10 days later,

00:23:39.700 and he was allowed to surrender in private.

00:23:43.200 No cameras or reporters allowed.

00:23:45.880 That's the two-tiered justice system for you right there.

00:23:49.340 We see it again in this case where you have a dangerous, 0.99

00:23:53.040 illegal immigrant gang member who's allowed to taunt the government 1.00

00:23:57.420 while the government is not allowed to respond.

00:24:02.660 Tricia McLaughlin, the spokesman in this case for the Department of Homeland Security,

00:24:07.400 said American justice ceases to function when its arbiters silence law enforcement

00:24:12.820 and yet give megaphones to those who oppose our legal system.

00:24:17.640 I couldn't agree more.

00:24:19.360 Tom Homan is a good man.

00:24:20.760 He's a tough man with a tough job. 1.00

00:24:23.120 but President Trump continues to keep his commitment to expel dangerous illegals from 1.00

00:24:29.380 the country. I do think that the priority has to be put on those who have proven criminal records, 0.99

00:24:37.280 either in the country of origin or here in the United States. There are people in the United

00:24:42.900 States who have been here for 25, 30 years, who are taxpayers, who are gainfully employed,

00:24:49.360 in many cases in the same jobs over a long period of time, who have never violated the law.

00:24:56.240 Exceptions were made for restaurant workers at one point. I think exceptions could be made for

00:25:01.620 those in the area of agriculture. People with no criminal records, I think, should be treated

00:25:06.760 differently than those who have an extensive criminal record, particularly in view of the

00:25:12.220 fact that there are limited resources. So let's get the dangerous criminals out of the country

00:25:17.660 first, and then we can deal with the questions of others who are here illegally. I do think there

00:25:23.200 has to be some reason within this program. Albrego Garcia was previously deported to El Salvador

00:25:29.660 earlier this year, only to be returned to the United States over an alleged procedural error.

00:25:36.240 Last week, a federal judge temporarily halted further action, claiming that the prosecution

00:25:41.240 of Garcia was vindictive. In other words, these liberals would do anything to keep this illegal

00:25:47.280 in the United States. They continue to refer to him as a Maryland man. He's not a resident of

00:25:52.120 Maryland. He is a resident of El Salvador. He represents the ability of the left to undermine

00:25:58.000 our current border policy. Albrego Garcia is a statement from the left that your country

00:26:03.740 has been conquered and you will be replaced and you cannot vote your way out of it. Well, 0.69

00:26:08.760 we hope to prove them wrong in next year's midterm elections. Perhaps we'll have to consider

00:26:13.060 some other remedies. In the meantime, there is a major battle shaping up in Europe. Hungarian

00:26:21.000 Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who's one of my personal heroes, of course, that's because I am

00:26:25.780 half Italian, half Italian and half Hungarian. I'm Italian from the waist down. But the leading

00:26:33.020 nationalist in Europe and a close friend of President Trump is warning that Europe is

00:26:37.480 drifting dangerously close to war, and he says ordinary citizens are being kept in the dark

00:26:43.240 about how serious the situation in Europe has become. Speaking on national television,

00:26:49.120 Hungarian President Viktor Orban said that recent anti-war demonstrations in Hungary

00:26:54.240 were against what he called a growing push by European elites to prepare for an open conflict

00:27:00.100 with Russia. According to the Hungarian leader, recent European Union members have resembled a

00:27:06.640 War Council, with leaders openly discussing military escalations while ignoring the impact,

00:27:13.220 economic impact, and potential human costs. Orban warned that the divide between the United States

00:27:19.840 and Europe was widening considerably since President Donald Trump returned to office.

00:27:24.800 Orban also said Washington has shown more restraint while Brussels continues to push

00:27:29.060 a confrontational agenda. Orban said it was once unthinkable that America would say no and Europe

00:27:34.780 would push ahead anyway, but that appears to be exactly what is happening. The Hungarian Prime

00:27:40.680 Minister pointed to plans by European institutions to funnel nearly $90 billion more to Ukraine,

00:27:48.000 money he says the EU does not currently have, which would force member states into crippling

00:27:53.340 debt. Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic refused to back this plan, with Orban warning it

00:27:59.660 will saddle Hungarian families with hundreds of billions of dollars in future liabilities and debt.

00:28:05.640 He also accused European elites of ignoring the economic reality at home,

00:28:10.320 arguing that energy costs, inflation, and stagnation are punishing the working families of Eastern Europe.

00:28:18.340 Orban warned that seizing Russian assets or escalating the war could drag Europe into an irreversible conflict.

00:28:26.600 On the domestic front, Orban contrasted Europe's war footing with Hungary's focus on stability, pointing to tax relief for the working families in his country, housing support, and energy price protections.

00:28:40.800 Next year, Orban faces his greatest challenge yet from the globalists that hope to oust him from power and replace him with a controlled puppet who will support endless war with Ukraine, as well as provoking Russia to the detriment of the Hungarian people.

00:28:54.960 We must hope that Orban prevails because no one in Europe is a stronger voice for the autonomy of the Hungarian people.

00:29:10.000 And we have to ask a serious question as to whether NATO, which made perfect sense at the end of World War II, makes any sense at all.

00:29:18.700 After all, after World War II, most of the economies of Europe were decimated, while America's economy was still relatively strong.

00:29:28.060 Therefore, this joint defense compact that we entered into NATO made sense.

00:29:34.600 Now, however, Donald Trump first pointed out in his first term that our NATO allies have failed to hold up their end of the bargain.

00:29:42.760 In other words, the United States paid its dues, but thanks to Donald Trump insisting, the other members of NATO finally coughed up $650 million.

00:29:54.400 The president has argued all the way back to 1988 as to why we should pick up the tab for the defense of Europe when the Europeans don't want to do so themselves.

00:30:04.360 And if you look at their contributions to the Ukrainian war effort, you will see that that money has come disproportionately from the United States of America, yet Ukraine and Russia on the other side of the globe.

00:30:20.640 We have to hope that Orban does win because, as I say, is one of the few voices of region in Europe, as many heads of state continue to clamor for World War III.

00:30:30.460 Doing this as genocidal Russian-hating globalist elites become drunker and drunker with power.

00:30:36.440 It is interesting that they have to rig the elections in France to prohibit the election of a nationalist conservative.

00:30:44.440 We have a nationalist, more pro-U.S. president in Italy.

00:30:51.760 Once again, conservative parties gained in the most recent election in Germany.

00:30:57.360 The left is running out of time, but they want to get their hands on that $90 billion,

00:31:03.320 which allegedly will flow to Ukraine.

00:31:06.220 But many of the NATO nations believe that this money will flow back to them,

00:31:11.580 theoretically for the rebuilding of their national defense.

00:31:16.380 I'm not buying it.

00:31:18.500 So keep an eye on Viktor Orban.

00:31:21.920 He is the most impressive of the European leaders.

00:31:24.420 I don't say that just because I'm half Hungarian.

00:31:27.140 But Hungary is a country like Poland, like Romania,

00:31:31.020 which has never allowed any form of Islamic immigration, 0.96

00:31:37.480 which is why those may be the three most stable countries in Europe.

00:31:41.580 today. Anyway, you're listening to The Stone Zone. I'm Roger Stone. Here we talk politics,

00:31:47.320 news, history, and you get the inside scoop on what's really happening in Washington.

00:31:53.040 Whether it's happening in Washington, whether it's happening in Mar-a-Lago,

00:31:56.180 we are on top of it right here in The Stone Zone, and we ask you to join us five days a week.

00:32:02.840 I'm Roger Stone. Whatever you do, don't touch that dial because, well, we'll be right back.

00:32:11.580 The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:32:18.440 You are now re-entering the Stone Zone.

00:32:21.860 Well, the entire nation woke up this past Monday to a political firestorm after a bombshell investigation by citizen journalist Nick Shirley went viral,

00:32:33.080 racking up more than 100 million views in just days.

00:32:36.060 The reporting focuses on fraud tied to Somali-linked daycare and social service operations in the state of Minnesota,

00:32:45.100 with Shirley examining entities accusing him of siphoning millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through leastly regulated welfare programs.

00:32:53.940 Again, a citizen journalist in his 20s went to the facilities and confirmed that there were scams. 0.88

00:33:00.120 They were providing no services to the community, with swarthy sub-Saharan swindlers blathering gibberish at him and calling him a criminal for simply asking questions.

00:33:11.120 The explosive nature of the findings has ignited public outrage and a new examination of whether similar scams are taking place in other states,

00:33:20.800 notably Michigan, Ohio, and Washington State, where there are now already reports of

00:33:27.400 tens of millions of dollars of alleged abuse. This proves what many taxpayers have already

00:33:33.880 suspected, that there's a complete breakdown in oversight inside our U.S. federal government.

00:33:41.640 When taxpayers flow with minimal accountability, corruption becomes part and parcel of the system.

00:33:48.100 Import the third world and you become the third world, as the old adage goes.

00:33:52.780 One thing worth notice is how the corporate media has gone completely silent over this

00:33:58.060 multi-million dollar fraud.

00:34:01.160 Before it's over, I believe the number in Minnesota will not be 10 million, but will

00:34:05.420 be closer to 50 million or more.

00:34:07.620 So one must ask, where is the New York Times?

00:34:11.420 Where is the Washington Post?

00:34:13.220 Where is the Wall Street Journal?

00:34:14.940 Where is CNN?

00:34:15.800 where is MSNBC? I mean, I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the

00:34:23.900 toilet. But they have ignored what will turn out to be one of the greatest single billion dollar

00:34:31.160 scams in American fiscal history. At this point, the facts are very hard to ignore. What's

00:34:38.120 particularly striking is how this mirrors the recent efforts by Elon Musk and others to uncover

00:34:43.380 waste and fraud at the federal level. Efforts that were met with coordinated political attacks

00:34:48.780 and even violence against some of the Tesla facilities. You recall that, no? Don't you?

00:34:54.900 Now, a new model is emerging. Tech investors and independent journalists are now openly

00:34:59.860 discussing the creation of a crowdfunded, decentralized network of citizen investigators,

00:35:05.440 a Doge-style effort aimed at exposing corruption in deep blue states.

00:35:12.080 If this model takes hold, it could overwhelm the political establishment

00:35:15.640 and create an atmosphere for actual reform.

00:35:19.320 Patriots, it's time to enlist in the information war.

00:35:22.980 Start locally by exposing your local tyrants.

00:35:25.560 Get out your cell phone and start asking questions.

00:35:28.880 My heartiest congratulations to Nick Shirley,

00:35:31.280 who racked up far more than 100 million views now

00:35:35.460 on his initial video.

00:35:37.900 And he has set a standard

00:35:39.380 as citizen journalists in other states

00:35:41.800 begin to examine these fraudulent COVID-19 related programs.

00:35:48.060 It's going to turn out to be

00:35:49.260 one of the greatest fiscal scandals

00:35:52.660 in the history of the country.

00:35:54.360 And it all started with a 28-year-old.

00:35:57.480 I'm still waiting for the New York Times.

00:35:59.220 I guess I can wait a long time. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump revealed the United States took out what he described as a major drug facility tied to Venezuela's narco state regime.

00:36:10.120 For those who are watching the situation in Venezuela, I think it's very important to recognize that this fight is not about regime change.

00:36:18.100 This is about the fact that the Maduro regime is like a mafia state, and this is a Marxist 0.55

00:36:25.840 narco-trafficking operation that is importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of death 0.72

00:36:32.160 into the United States. President Donald Trump has every justification to take out Maduro and

00:36:37.880 end the flow of deadly drugs into the United States. You heard it here first on the Stone

00:36:44.140 Zone. Some may argue that this is Bush-style regime change. I say Secretary of State Marco

00:36:50.980 Rubio, President Donald Trump are absolutely right, and that there is, at this time, without

00:36:57.660 any question, a moral imperative because of the drugs coming into our country to remove Maduro

00:37:04.700 from power. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone. God bless you, and Godspeed.
