Summary

When I spoke at the Turning Point USA gathering in Phoenix only a week ago, I specifically called for the prosecution of those who I said, and to this day believe, engaged in a seditious conspiracy to remove a duly elected president of the United States. That same enduring conspiracy went on to stage two completely fraudulent impeachments, then morphed into the January 6th fiasco, and ended up in the Jack Smith investigation and attempted prosecution of Donald Trump regarding January 6, and also regarding his retention of classified documents which under the Presidential Records Act, President Trump was entitled to keep any place he wanted, and that included Mar-a-Lago.

00:00:37.780 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:00:41.260 When I spoke at the Turning Point USA gathering in Phoenix only a week ago,
00:00:47.380 I specifically in my remarks called for the prosecution of those who I said,
00:00:53.220 and to this day believe, engaged in a seditious conspiracy
00:00:58.180 to remove a duly elected president of the United States.
00:01:02.340 That same enduring conspiracy went on to stage two completely fraudulent impeachments,
00:01:10.380 then went on to, I believe, steal the 2020 election,
00:01:16.020 then morphed into the January 6th fiasco,
00:01:20.940 and then ended up in the Jack Smith investigation
00:01:25.200 and attempted prosecution of Donald Trump regarding January 6th
00:01:30.440 and also regarding his retention of classified documents,
00:01:35.320 which under the Presidential Records Act,
00:01:38.160 President Trump was entitled to keep any place he wanted,
00:01:42.460 and that included Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:45.080 There's been enormous criticism of Attorney General Pam Bondi
00:01:49.160 and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche
00:01:52.120 for not taking action
00:01:54.580 against those who clearly plotted
00:01:57.560 to remove Donald Trump from the presidency.
00:02:00.120 Today, however, there was some good news.
00:02:04.140 Attorney General Pam Bondi released a message
00:02:07.080 sending a clear and indisputable comment
00:02:11.700 that the era of political weaponization inside the federal government
00:02:14.880 is indeed going to come to an end.
00:02:18.060 Bondi, in her statement today made to just the news,
00:02:21.580 said that her office has now launched a sweeping investigation
00:02:25.340 into what she described as years of coordinated lawfare,
00:02:29.460 carried out during the Obama and Biden administrations.
00:02:33.720 The focus is on whether federal agencies
00:02:35.960 were weaponized to protect political allies
00:02:39.100 while targeting conservatives like myself,
00:02:42.260 like General Michael Flynn,
00:02:44.000 like President Donald Trump and his family,
00:02:46.260 as well as other Trump supporters.
00:02:48.060 Bondi revealed that federal prosecutors are examining
00:02:51.520 what she called a, quote,
00:02:53.500 10-year stain on the Justice Department,
00:02:56.500 one that may amount to an ongoing seditious criminal conspiracy.
00:03:02.460 By treating the abuse of power as a continuing offensive,
00:03:06.640 investigators can pursue accountability
00:03:08.540 even for actions that would otherwise fall outside
00:03:12.100 the statute of limitations.
00:03:13.760 This is an absolutely crucial point
00:03:15.880 for those who say that we're running out of time.
00:03:19.000 While we may be running out of time to prosecute those
00:03:22.980 who basically orchestrated the January 6th fiasco,
00:03:29.060 that's a legal question we'll turn to in a second,
00:03:31.740 I believe, based on my conversations
00:03:33.840 with noted constitutional lawyers like David Schoen and others,
00:03:38.140 that there is no constitutional limit
00:03:41.180 on the broader question of seditious conspiracy.
00:03:46.060 As Attorney General Bondi correctly notes,
00:03:48.960 the evidence that's already uncovered
00:03:50.320 paints a disturbing picture.
00:03:52.100 Thanks to Tulsi Gabbard,
00:03:54.240 who currently serves as the Director of National Intelligence,
00:03:58.760 she declassified all the documents
00:04:01.180 that could have been declassified
00:04:03.480 in President Trump's first term,
00:04:05.940 but for some reason, CIA Director John Radcliffe,
00:04:09.360 who was then the National Security Advisor,
00:04:12.080 did not do so.
00:04:13.760 So, Bondi says that federal law enforcement
00:04:16.780 shielded political elites
00:04:18.240 like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton
00:04:20.280 while aggressively pursuing conservatives
00:04:22.660 using questionable warrants,
00:04:24.960 surveillance tactics,
00:04:26.080 and politically motivated investigations.
00:04:28.740 Bondi confirmed that internal FBI documents show
00:04:31.740 that even agents doubted the legal ramifications
00:04:34.820 and justification of the raid on Mar-a-Lago
00:04:37.920 by President Trump,
00:04:39.040 but the Justice Department carried out that raid anyway.
00:04:42.600 Attorney General Bondi credited her department
00:04:45.220 with releasing unprecedented volumes
00:04:47.120 of documentation to Congress,
00:04:49.060 exposing what she called
00:04:49.960 a two-tiered justice system.
00:04:52.780 She said no one is above the law,
00:04:54.360 and that includes those who believe
00:04:56.060 they could weaponize government
00:04:57.620 against political opponents.
00:04:59.660 The Attorney General also took aim
00:05:01.460 at former CIA Director John Brennan,
00:05:04.060 accusing him of trying to interfere
00:05:05.800 with ongoing grand jury investigations
00:05:07.440 by seeking judicial intervention.
00:05:10.080 This is almost unbelievable.
00:05:12.080 John Brennan, the Islamic convert,
00:05:14.960 the admitted communist,
00:05:17.900 the CIA director,
00:05:19.280 who really was the major orchestrator
00:05:21.800 of the Russian collusion hoax,
00:05:23.860 has actually asked a federal judge
00:05:26.180 in the southern district of Florida
00:05:30.920 to intervene and end an ongoing
00:05:33.740 grand jury investigation into his actions.
00:05:36.700 Well, on the one hand,
00:05:38.700 I salute Attorney General Bondi
00:05:40.460 for initiating this conversation
00:05:41.940 and this investigation.
00:05:43.700 It's been a long time coming.
00:05:46.020 But if there are dozens,
00:05:47.680 if there are not dozens,
00:05:48.860 of deep state spooks
00:05:50.320 put behind bars relatively quickly,
00:05:53.200 and I mean before the midterms,
00:05:55.420 well, then a massive justice
00:05:57.400 will have been failed
00:05:59.380 and a political opportunity
00:06:01.620 will have been squandered.
00:06:02.700 This investigation cannot be
00:06:05.480 the typical federal stalling gambit
00:06:07.500 that is designed to kick the can
00:06:09.740 down the road.
00:06:11.200 We need indictments,
00:06:12.520 we need trials,
00:06:13.820 and we need them quickly.
00:06:15.460 It's time to lock these criminals up.
00:06:18.720 In the meantime,
00:06:19.720 Assistant Attorney General
00:06:20.700 for the Civil Rights Division,
00:06:22.360 Harmeet Dhillon,
00:06:23.180 who I both know and like,
00:06:25.240 assured President Trump supporters
00:06:26.960 that justice for the crimes
00:06:28.780 committed by the January 6th Committee
00:06:30.720 will come.
00:06:32.140 This was music to my ears
00:06:33.520 because I can tell you definitively
00:06:35.200 that the one-sided
00:06:36.600 January 6th Committee
00:06:38.020 used totally AI-fabricated
00:06:41.300 audios and videos
00:06:42.660 to put words in my mouth,
00:06:44.420 words that I never actually said.
00:06:47.380 In fact, an FBI investigation
00:06:49.220 into January 6th
00:06:50.920 concluded that neither Alex Jones
00:06:52.780 or I had either known
00:06:55.360 in advance about,
00:06:56.760 condoned, or approved,
00:06:58.280 or participated in
00:07:00.520 any illegal action
00:07:01.860 on January 6th
00:07:04.240 or any other day
00:07:05.480 for that matter.
00:07:07.200 So, this is an interesting exchange.
00:07:10.700 Harmeet Dhillon
00:07:11.620 was responding to a post
00:07:12.940 from conservative influencer
00:07:15.160 Gunther Eagleman,
00:07:16.520 another friend of mine,
00:07:17.960 who reminded Attorney General
00:07:19.380 Pam Bondi
00:07:20.120 the statute of limitations
00:07:21.380 on the January 6th members
00:07:23.640 was about to expire.
00:07:26.120 He wrote,
00:07:26.640 Dear Pam Bondi,
00:07:27.920 please don't let the statute
00:07:28.940 of limitations run out
00:07:30.080 on the January 6th criminals.
00:07:32.060 There are only 12 more days.
00:07:33.760 He wrote,
00:07:34.780 They all need to be held
00:07:35.740 accountable for the treason
00:07:36.820 they submitted.
00:07:38.400 78 million Americans
00:07:40.300 who voted for President Trump
00:07:41.660 join me in this demand.
00:07:43.900 Please do not let the statute
00:07:44.980 of limitations run out.
00:07:47.200 They all need to be held
00:07:48.600 accountable for the treason
00:07:49.640 they committed.
00:07:51.380 Now, Trump and Bondi
00:07:53.660 say they are working
00:07:54.680 to bring justice
00:07:56.060 to those who weaponize
00:07:57.240 January 6th,
00:07:58.400 according to Dhillon.
00:08:00.060 No statute of limitations
00:08:01.040 will hinder
00:08:01.760 the Department of Justice's
00:08:03.600 efforts to bring justice
00:08:04.680 to those who weaponize
00:08:06.420 persecution of American citizens
00:08:08.220 on January 6th.
00:08:10.340 And there is not a deadline
00:08:12.300 for DOJ to bring prosecutions.
00:08:14.880 I must admit
00:08:15.460 that I am a little confused,
00:08:17.420 but I'm at a disadvantage
00:08:18.540 because I am a non-lawyer.
00:08:21.340 Well, maybe that's
00:08:22.040 actually an advantage.
00:08:23.540 But according to Dhillon,
00:08:25.240 she says,
00:08:25.920 My boss, Pam Bondi,
00:08:26.960 works around the clock
00:08:27.920 to bring justice
00:08:29.200 for all Americans,
00:08:30.340 she continued.
00:08:31.460 Don't be a hater
00:08:32.240 and a simp
00:08:32.760 for weaponized
00:08:33.480 online disinformation.
00:08:35.460 Now, look,
00:08:36.440 I think that
00:08:37.980 the January 6th committee
00:08:40.640 is one of the greatest
00:08:42.180 scandals of all time.
00:08:44.420 The January 6th committee
00:08:45.620 conducted its investigation
00:08:46.900 without bipartisan oversight.
00:08:49.140 They used selectively
00:08:51.020 presented evidence.
00:08:53.880 They failed to preserve
00:08:56.580 key records.
00:08:57.980 They falsified
00:08:59.060 a number of records.
00:09:00.660 They buried key information,
00:09:03.200 which would have told
00:09:04.020 a much broader story,
00:09:05.680 one of a Fed's surrection.
00:09:07.980 The committee also declined
00:09:09.340 to examine security failures
00:09:11.080 at the Capitol.
00:09:12.360 They failed to investigate
00:09:14.020 the role of congressional leadership
00:09:15.540 and law enforcement decisions
00:09:17.120 that were made prior
00:09:18.600 to January 6th.
00:09:20.500 Federal prosecutors
00:09:21.260 relied on expanded
00:09:22.560 and novel legal theories
00:09:24.040 to charge defendants,
00:09:25.700 including nonviolent individuals,
00:09:28.020 while imposing
00:09:28.740 prolonged pretrial detention
00:09:30.360 in countless cases.
00:09:32.620 Lives were destroyed.
00:09:34.280 Lives were ruined.
00:09:35.860 And there must be
00:09:37.200 some accountability
00:09:38.240 and justice.
00:09:39.960 The Department of Justice
00:09:40.740 and the FBI
00:09:41.880 also courted closely
00:09:43.340 with the committee
00:09:44.300 through their entire investigation,
00:09:45.820 using January 6th
00:09:47.520 as the basis
00:09:48.060 for sweeping surveillance,
00:09:50.000 prosecutions,
00:09:50.940 and sentencing strategies
00:09:52.140 that treated political protest
00:09:54.080 as domestic extremism.
00:09:56.600 The campaign destroyed
00:09:57.600 the lives of thousands
00:09:59.220 of Americans,
00:09:59.960 leading many into depression,
00:10:01.700 physical illness,
00:10:02.780 and even suicide.
00:10:04.880 I pray that Harmeet Dillon
00:10:06.600 is right.
00:10:07.400 I pray that justice
00:10:08.700 is indeed coming.
00:10:11.000 Meanwhile,
00:10:11.960 proving that one person
00:10:13.400 can make a difference,
00:10:14.640 Nick Shirley,
00:10:16.260 who is a 20-something
00:10:17.860 independent journalist
00:10:19.720 whose findings
00:10:21.620 and research
00:10:22.460 are found mostly
00:10:23.420 on social media,
00:10:25.480 has almost single-handedly
00:10:27.180 uncovered a
00:10:28.340 growing,
00:10:30.220 multi-million dollar scandal
00:10:32.640 in the state of Minnesota.
00:10:35.380 This political scandal
00:10:36.720 is now engulfing
00:10:38.140 the Somali-born
00:10:39.800 Congresswoman,
00:10:41.040 Ilhan Omar,
00:10:42.020 as serious questions
00:10:43.360 mount over her family's
00:10:44.720 sudden wealth,
00:10:46.060 her husband's
00:10:46.720 business dealings,
00:10:47.760 and a massive
00:10:49.060 taxpayer-funded fraud
00:10:50.640 that unfolded
00:10:51.840 right under her watch,
00:10:53.700 as well as the watch
00:10:54.580 of Governor Tim Walz,
00:10:55.580 of course,
00:10:56.280 in Minnesota.
00:10:57.520 According to multiple reports now,
00:10:59.380 Omar went from having
00:11:00.340 a negative net worth
00:11:01.580 when she entered Congress
00:11:03.240 to being worth
00:11:04.240 as much as
00:11:04.800 $30 million
00:11:05.520 in just a few years.
00:11:07.020 This is a stunning
00:11:09.100 financial turnaround
00:11:10.220 that coincides
00:11:11.240 with one of the largest
00:11:12.660 COVID-era
00:11:13.860 welfare fraud schemes
00:11:16.060 in U.S. history.
00:11:17.420 That scheme,
00:11:18.500 which exploited
00:11:19.400 federal pandemic
00:11:20.420 food programs,
00:11:22.060 child care programs,
00:11:23.460 and transportation programs,
00:11:25.340 has so far led to
00:11:26.740 nearly 90 criminal charges,
00:11:29.180 many tied to individuals
00:11:30.660 in Omar's circle
00:11:32.060 in her own district.
00:11:34.000 It was new reporting
00:11:35.340 from Nick Shirley
00:11:36.440 showing how dozens
00:11:38.280 of health care
00:11:38.980 and child care operations
00:11:40.500 received millions
00:11:41.840 of our tax dollars
00:11:43.060 when, in fact,
00:11:44.280 they were inoperable,
00:11:45.160 oftentimes with businesses
00:11:46.340 located in empty buildings
00:11:48.260 with no hint
00:11:49.320 of any staffers
00:11:50.500 or any administration
00:11:52.060 or any patients
00:11:53.920 or consumers.
00:11:55.580 This scandal
00:11:56.780 is not, unfortunately,
00:11:59.040 limited to Minnesota.
00:12:00.820 We now have evidence
00:12:02.000 that there are limited,
00:12:03.100 there are unlimited scandals
00:12:05.620 in Ohio,
00:12:06.800 in Michigan,
00:12:07.900 in Washington State.
00:12:09.760 Before this is over,
00:12:10.940 I think this will balloon
00:12:12.140 to be a billion-dollar scandal
00:12:14.880 right under our own noses.
00:12:16.920 This is, of course,
00:12:17.920 exactly what Elon Musk
00:12:19.420 was uncovering
00:12:20.360 in his Doge expositions,
00:12:23.040 his Doge exposures.
00:12:25.240 Several of the fraudsters
00:12:26.460 charged in Minnesota
00:12:28.280 had personal
00:12:29.200 or political connections
00:12:30.800 to Congresswoman
00:12:31.780 Ilhan Omar.
00:12:33.620 Others were major donors
00:12:35.520 to her campaign,
00:12:36.880 while others worked
00:12:38.520 on her elections.
00:12:39.960 At the center
00:12:40.700 of renewed scrutiny,
00:12:41.980 in this case,
00:12:42.800 is Omar's husband,
00:12:44.300 political consultant
00:12:45.260 Tim Minette.
00:12:47.200 His venture capital firm,
00:12:48.940 Rose Lake Capital,
00:12:50.820 reportedly ballooned in value
00:12:52.200 from being not worth
00:12:54.700 nearly nothing
00:12:55.660 to being worth
00:12:57.000 tens of millions of dollars
00:12:58.500 in a very short span.
00:12:59.800 all while operating
00:13:01.560 out of a Washington, D.C.,
00:13:03.520 temporary office space
00:13:05.280 and quietly removing
00:13:06.280 the names of
00:13:07.000 high-profile
00:13:07.940 Democratic insiders
00:13:09.100 from its website.
00:13:11.340 Critics note
00:13:12.460 that this financial surge
00:13:14.100 followed Ilhan Omar's
00:13:16.140 push for the Meals Act
00:13:17.600 legislation
00:13:18.400 that loosened oversight
00:13:20.020 of federal food aid programs
00:13:22.060 during COVID.
00:13:23.320 Governor Tim Walz
00:13:24.280 of Minnesota,
00:13:25.060 the vice presidential candidate
00:13:26.540 for the Democrats,
00:13:27.540 also pushed hard
00:13:29.060 for the leasinged oversight
00:13:31.440 of these federal food programs
00:13:32.900 as well as increased payments.
00:13:36.160 Prosecutors now say
00:13:37.320 that those relaxed rules
00:13:38.800 were exploited by fraudsters
00:13:40.780 who billed the government
00:13:42.180 and the taxpayers
00:13:43.120 for millions of meals
00:13:44.340 that were never actually served
00:13:46.660 and eaten.
00:13:47.640 Now abundantly clear
00:13:48.920 that Omar is just another
00:13:50.260 Somali fraudster,
00:13:51.620 just another parasite,
00:13:53.220 looking for another avenue
00:13:54.420 to grift and extract money
00:13:55.900 from the host population.
00:13:57.920 It's time to lock her up
00:13:59.240 or better yet,
00:14:00.040 deport her
00:14:00.520 because I believe
00:14:01.300 she lied on her
00:14:02.760 immigration documents
00:14:03.900 and was in fact
00:14:05.000 married to her own brother
00:14:06.740 to justify her immigration
00:14:08.740 to the United States.

00:14:18.760 The one question, Bob,
00:14:19.900 everyone's asking is,
00:14:21.700 are we in an
00:14:22.520 artificial intelligence bubble?
00:14:24.400 You've been through
00:14:25.120 boom and busts.
00:14:26.360 What do you think?
00:14:27.160 No hype,
00:14:28.100 no myths,
00:14:29.340 just what actually matters
00:14:30.680 to your money.
00:14:31.780 It does feel very similar
00:14:33.320 to what we experienced
00:14:34.560 in the 90s.
00:14:35.240 Where are we, though?
00:14:35.920 Are we in 1995,
00:14:37.340 1997,
00:14:38.540 1999?

00:14:53.600 handing out gifts
00:14:54.380 at a Toys for Tots
00:14:55.420 distribution event,
00:14:56.420 a little girl
00:14:56.880 looked up at him,
00:14:57.700 reached into her bag,
00:14:58.720 pulled out a stuffed animal
00:14:59.600 and said,
00:15:00.240 someone needs to make sure
00:15:01.320 you get a toy too.
00:15:02.600 That simple gesture
00:15:03.460 embodies the heart

00:15:23.580 in The Stone Zone.
00:15:24.960 New York Attorney General
00:15:26.020 Letitia James
00:15:27.100 is once again
00:15:28.080 facing scrutiny
00:15:29.360 over deep financial ties
00:15:31.160 to far-left billionaire
00:15:32.900 George Soros
00:15:34.020 as new campaign
00:15:35.320 finance records
00:15:36.220 reveal the extent
00:15:37.140 of his influence
00:15:37.940 behind her political rise.
00:15:40.000 Since 2019,
00:15:41.920 Soros and his family members
00:15:43.380 have poured
00:15:43.880 more than $71,000
00:15:45.660 directly into
00:15:46.820 James' campaign coffers,
00:15:48.500 including $31,000
00:15:50.460 this year alone
00:15:51.980 as she seeks
00:15:53.320 another term.
00:15:54.740 That includes
00:15:55.320 $18,000
00:15:56.220 from George Soros
00:15:57.340 himself,
00:15:58.140 $13,000
00:15:58.920 from his daughter-in-law,
00:16:00.480 Jennifer Soros.
00:16:01.320 That may not seem
00:16:01.940 like very much money,
00:16:03.240 but it's an indicator
00:16:04.220 that their powerful network
00:16:05.420 is fully behind
00:16:06.460 Letitia James.
00:16:07.620 The Soros Network
00:16:08.540 has dropped
00:16:09.480 tens of millions
00:16:10.200 of dollars
00:16:10.580 funneled through
00:16:11.360 Soros-backed
00:16:12.600 activist groups
00:16:13.400 that aggressively
00:16:14.320 shape New York's
00:16:15.360 entire political
00:16:16.720 landscape.
00:16:18.060 Now, a looming
00:16:18.740 problem for Attorney
00:16:20.080 General Letitia James
00:16:21.480 are the millions
00:16:22.360 of dollars that she
00:16:23.680 raised through
00:16:24.640 ActBlue.
00:16:25.960 ActBlue is a
00:16:27.520 Democrat payment
00:16:28.500 processing company
00:16:29.700 that collected
00:16:31.060 millions and millions
00:16:32.360 of dollars
00:16:32.860 from various
00:16:33.660 Democrat candidates,
00:16:35.220 but very cleverly,
00:16:37.000 they turned
00:16:37.900 the feature
00:16:39.180 in which you're
00:16:40.020 required,
00:16:40.820 if you're paying
00:16:41.500 with a credit card
00:16:42.840 or through Apple Pay,
00:16:45.040 you are required
00:16:46.140 to submit an address.
00:16:47.720 Once that address
00:16:48.460 matches the address
00:16:50.220 on your credit card,
00:16:51.640 you would be entitled
00:16:52.600 to give.
00:16:53.840 Unfortunately,
00:16:54.680 ActBlue
00:16:55.120 turned that function
00:16:56.840 off,
00:16:57.660 and therefore,
00:16:58.560 when you go
00:16:59.380 to the website,
00:17:00.920 when you go
00:17:01.620 to Letitia James'
00:17:03.220 reports,
00:17:03.700 and you begin
00:17:04.660 to trace
00:17:05.260 these donations,
00:17:06.600 you find a very
00:17:07.280 high percentage
00:17:08.260 of them,
00:17:09.260 when you contact
00:17:10.420 them directly
00:17:11.160 or at their
00:17:11.700 front step,
00:17:12.680 say that they
00:17:13.320 gave no such
00:17:14.140 contributions.
00:17:15.260 They're not familiar
00:17:15.900 with Letitia James.
00:17:17.420 In some cases,
00:17:18.340 some will respond
00:17:19.560 that they remember
00:17:20.800 giving a contribution
00:17:21.960 to Hillary Clinton,
00:17:23.440 but that was
00:17:24.340 years ago.
00:17:26.160 ActBlue is one
00:17:27.000 of the great,
00:17:27.740 great,
00:17:28.520 unwritten scandals
00:17:29.580 of our day,
00:17:30.740 and I think you're
00:17:31.380 going to find
00:17:32.140 that a substantial
00:17:33.960 amount of the
00:17:35.240 money that
00:17:36.060 boosted the
00:17:37.600 candidacy of
00:17:38.640 Letitia James
00:17:39.520 was indeed
00:17:40.740 from non-existent
00:17:42.560 sources.
00:17:43.840 Soros'
00:17:44.320 Open Society
00:17:45.080 Network has
00:17:45.720 pumped nearly
00:17:46.160 $24 million,
00:17:47.580 meanwhile,
00:17:48.500 into the radical
00:17:49.360 left Working
00:17:50.140 Families Party
00:17:50.900 since 2016,
00:17:52.180 while the party's
00:17:53.200 New York branch
00:17:53.780 received $900,000
00:17:55.440 more directly
00:17:56.820 from Soros'
00:17:57.580 family members.
00:17:59.180 Letitia James
00:18:00.180 has long
00:18:00.600 aligned herself
00:18:01.360 with the group's
00:18:01.960 far-left agenda,
00:18:03.280 first winning office
00:18:04.120 as a Working
00:18:04.780 Families Party
00:18:05.420 candidate before
00:18:06.600 running statewide
00:18:07.420 as a Democrat.
00:18:08.980 Critics say
00:18:09.840 the relationship
00:18:10.500 explains James'
00:18:11.620 aggressive and
00:18:12.240 politically charged
00:18:13.060 crusade against
00:18:14.360 President Donald
00:18:15.100 Trump,
00:18:15.880 including her
00:18:16.480 high-profile
00:18:17.120 civil case
00:18:17.700 accusing him
00:18:18.340 of inflating
00:18:19.220 his net worth,
00:18:20.520 a case of
00:18:21.160 blatant lawfare
00:18:22.120 that was overturned
00:18:23.180 in the appellate
00:18:23.820 court.
00:18:24.760 Letitia James
00:18:25.620 is going to be
00:18:26.560 hoist on the
00:18:27.240 same petard
00:18:28.080 that she hoist
00:18:29.100 Donald Trump on.
00:18:30.100 I'm Roger Stone,
00:18:31.340 you're listening to
00:18:31.840 The Stone Zone,
00:18:32.620 and we'll be
00:18:33.540 right back.
00:18:39.660 The Stone Zone,
00:18:41.520 entertaining and
00:18:42.800 informative.
00:18:43.700 On the Red Apple
00:18:44.460 Podcast Network.
00:18:46.620 And we're back
00:18:47.740 in The Stone Zone.
00:18:49.880 Well,
00:18:50.100 President Donald
00:18:50.840 Trump believes
00:18:51.600 there's a peace deal
00:18:52.280 to end the war
00:18:52.960 on Ukraine
00:18:53.400 is closer than ever
00:18:54.420 following a diplomatic
00:18:55.900 meeting with Ukrainian
00:18:57.020 President Volodymyr
00:18:58.160 Zelensky at his
00:18:59.580 Mar-a-Lago resort
00:19:01.100 yesterday.
00:19:02.520 While no agreement
00:19:03.120 has yet been finalized,
00:19:04.440 Trump signaled
00:19:05.000 optimism,
00:19:05.740 saying both sides
00:19:06.540 want it to end.
00:19:07.920 The talks are now
00:19:08.640 in their final stages.
00:19:10.820 Every American
00:19:11.720 prays for the end
00:19:13.220 to this meat grinder,
00:19:15.580 this horrific war.
00:19:17.180 Zelensky publicly
00:19:18.020 thanked President Trump
00:19:19.300 and his team,
00:19:19.900 including Envoy
00:19:20.540 Steve Witkoff,
00:19:21.980 and his advisor,
00:19:23.260 son-in-law,
00:19:24.200 Jared Kushner,
00:19:24.900 for their continued
00:19:25.640 engagement and their
00:19:27.120 mediations.
00:19:27.920 Zelensky said the
00:19:28.620 discussions were
00:19:29.320 productive and noted
00:19:30.700 that roughly 90% of a
00:19:32.420 draft peace plan
00:19:34.240 framework had been
00:19:35.240 agreed upon.
00:19:36.080 Still, major sticking
00:19:37.600 points evidently remain,
00:19:39.500 particularly over
00:19:40.760 territory in eastern
00:19:41.980 Ukraine, as well as
00:19:43.860 long-term security
00:19:45.100 guarantees.
00:19:46.340 President Trump
00:19:46.900 acknowledged those
00:19:47.640 challenges, saying
00:19:48.360 the remains issues are
00:19:49.240 thorny, but insisted
00:19:50.760 that progress is indeed
00:19:52.240 being made.
00:19:53.340 I think it is abundantly
00:19:54.380 clear that the American
00:19:55.760 people are tired of
00:19:56.860 paying for this war.
00:19:58.220 They're particularly
00:19:58.720 tired of the fact that
00:19:59.860 there is a widespread
00:20:00.760 belief that not all of
00:20:02.640 the funds appropriated
00:20:03.740 for this war have ended
00:20:05.420 up in the war effort,
00:20:06.680 much of it ending up in
00:20:07.720 the pockets of
00:20:08.500 Zelensky and his
00:20:10.540 confederates.
00:20:11.560 Some of it, according to
00:20:12.660 Elon Musk and my good
00:20:16.280 friend Tim Burchett,
00:20:17.240 member of Congress from
00:20:18.020 Tennessee, ending up in
00:20:19.460 the pockets of the very
00:20:20.920 politicians here in the
00:20:22.600 United States who voted
00:20:23.580 to give this money.
00:20:25.200 That needs to be an
00:20:25.940 investigation, that's for
00:20:27.120 sure.
00:20:27.900 President Trump has
00:20:28.640 confirmed that he spoke
00:20:29.560 with Russian President
00:20:30.500 Vladimir Putin shortly
00:20:31.980 before meeting Zelensky,
00:20:33.560 describing that call as
00:20:34.940 good and very productive.
00:20:36.720 Now, President Trump, who
00:20:37.980 I've known for 50 years, is
00:20:40.100 above all a dealmaker.
00:20:42.140 He's a negotiator.
00:20:43.860 President Trump said he
00:20:44.620 believes that Putin wants
00:20:45.780 to end the war, though he
00:20:46.740 conceded that Russia has not
00:20:48.700 backed away from all of its
00:20:50.260 demands.
00:20:51.200 The meaning came amid
00:20:52.200 renewed Russian missile and
00:20:53.800 drone strikes on Kiev, the
00:20:55.920 major city in Ukraine, which
00:20:58.120 left several dead and knocked
00:20:59.360 out power to hundreds of
00:21:01.100 thousands of Ukrainians.
00:21:02.740 While European leaders
00:21:03.800 condemned the attacks,
00:21:05.040 President Trump declined to
00:21:06.960 directly criticize Moscow,
00:21:09.080 arguing that both sides have
00:21:10.240 carried out military actions
00:21:11.660 and the continued escalation
00:21:13.600 will only prolong the war.
00:21:16.080 The U.S.
00:21:17.060 taxpayer is already footing
00:21:18.120 billions in aid.
00:21:18.880 President Trump's push for
00:21:19.920 negotiations, rather than
00:21:21.640 continued posturing and
00:21:23.060 saber-rattling against
00:21:23.980 Russia, is a long-overdue
00:21:26.240 attempt to put America's
00:21:27.680 interests first.
00:21:28.980 President Trump has
00:21:29.800 artfully, I believe,
00:21:31.720 positioned himself as a
00:21:32.920 central figure capable of
00:21:34.100 bringing both sides to the
00:21:35.620 table, enforcing a
00:21:37.400 conversation that globalist
00:21:39.560 insiders have been holding
00:21:40.980 back on for years.
00:21:43.060 I do think that an end to this
00:21:48.060 war is in order.
00:21:50.240 I think the president really
00:21:51.620 knows that he has a great
00:21:53.360 deal riding on it.
00:21:55.220 But I was very disappointed to
00:21:57.380 see Mike Pompeo undercut the
00:22:00.540 president's peace initiative just
00:22:04.360 minutes ago when I was looking on
00:22:05.920 X, used to be known as Twitter.
00:22:07.700 Mike Pompeo, supporting a
00:22:11.140 continued war, supporting the
00:22:13.880 continued corruption of Ukraine.
00:22:17.060 I think most Americans want to
00:22:18.800 see this war over.
00:22:20.600 I pray that the president is
00:22:22.140 successful.
00:22:22.780 Peace seems to be closer than
00:22:24.480 ever.
00:22:25.300 But rather than just lay back and
00:22:27.280 enjoy this period between Christmas
00:22:29.340 and New Year's, President Trump is
00:22:31.420 fully engaged.
00:22:32.540 I believe he's meeting with
00:22:34.520 Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:22:37.540 today.
00:22:38.440 This is a day after meeting with
00:22:39.880 Zelensky.
00:22:40.440 So the president continues to
00:22:42.260 work for peace and all Americans
00:22:44.340 pray for his success.
00:22:47.080 Meanwhile, the case of Kilmar
00:22:49.080 Abrego Garcia, you're familiar with
00:22:51.040 him.
00:22:51.600 He's the illegal immigrant from
00:22:52.860 El Salvador with noted ties to the
00:22:55.080 violent MS-13 gang who's been
00:22:58.020 accused of smuggling other
00:22:59.300 illegals in the U.S., continues to
00:23:01.420 show how immigration is held
00:23:03.220 hostage by liberal activist
00:23:05.200 judges and attorneys who make a
00:23:07.480 complete and utter mockery of the
00:23:09.180 rule of law.
00:23:10.240 While facing serious human
00:23:12.160 smuggling charges, Abrego Garcia
00:23:14.800 appeared in a TikTok video, lip
00:23:17.140 syncing to music, prompting
00:23:18.860 outrage from DHS, that's the
00:23:21.020 Department of Homeland Security
00:23:22.060 officials, who believe this
00:23:23.680 illegal alien is making a mockery of
00:23:25.860 the entire notion of justice.
00:23:28.400 The Department of Homeland Security
00:23:29.820 Assistant Secretary, Tricia
00:23:31.180 McLaughlin, responded to this
00:23:33.200 disgusting video, noting that while
00:23:35.560 federal authorities are under a
00:23:37.380 court-imposed gag order, the accused
00:23:39.600 is free to post on social media.
00:23:42.000 I've been in this exact situation.
00:23:44.040 When I was charged in a fabricated
00:23:46.360 case of lying to oath to Congress
00:23:51.800 about Russian collusion that never
00:23:53.280 actually existed, the judge put a gag
00:23:57.100 order on me in which I was not allowed
00:23:58.960 to defend myself in any public forum,
00:24:02.380 not social media, not radio, not
00:24:04.760 cable, not television, it was an
00:24:07.300 outrage.
00:24:07.800 Of course, when James Comey, the FBI
00:24:09.940 director, was charged with the exact
00:24:12.300 same crime that I was charged with,
00:24:15.020 the court but no such restriction on
00:24:17.260 him.
00:24:18.040 Just like they raided my home at six
00:24:20.240 o'clock in the morning, 29 heavily
00:24:22.480 armed FBI agents in full SWAT gear,
00:24:25.300 wearing night goggles and swarming my
00:24:28.580 home while brandishing fully automatic
00:24:30.580 M4 assault weapons.
00:24:33.040 James Comey, charged with the exact same
00:24:35.020 crime as I was, well, he was allowed to
00:24:37.420 saunter in 10 days later, and he was
00:24:40.300 allowed to surrender in private.
00:24:42.760 No cameras or reporters allowed.
00:24:45.380 That's the two-tiered justice system for you
00:24:47.860 right there.
00:24:48.420 We see it again in this case where you
00:24:50.860 have a dangerous, illegal immigrant gang
00:24:54.160 member who's allowed to taunt the
00:24:56.600 government while the government is not
00:24:59.340 allowed to respond.
00:25:02.180 Tricia McLaughlin, the spokesman in this
00:25:04.840 case for the Department of Homeland
00:25:06.420 Security, said American justice ceases to
00:25:09.060 function when its arbiters silence law
00:25:11.920 enforcement and yet give megaphones to
00:25:14.380 those who oppose our legal system.
00:25:16.940 I couldn't agree more.
00:25:19.000 Tom Homan is a good man.
00:25:20.360 He's a tough man with a tough job.
00:25:23.060 But President Trump continues to keep
00:25:24.960 his commitment to expel dangerous
00:25:28.220 illegals from the country.
00:25:29.960 I do think that the priority has to be
00:25:33.420 put on those who have proven criminal
00:25:36.200 records either in the country of origin
00:25:38.580 or here in the United States.
00:25:41.140 There are people in the United States who
00:25:42.960 have been here for 25, 30 years who are
00:25:46.280 taxpayers, who are gainfully employed, in
00:25:49.260 many cases in the same jobs over a long
00:25:51.200 period of time, who have never violated
00:25:53.640 the law.
00:25:55.800 Exceptions were made for restaurant workers
00:25:58.580 at one point.
00:25:59.720 I think exceptions could be made for those
00:26:01.480 in the area of agriculture.
00:26:03.540 People with no criminal records, I think,
00:26:05.700 should be treated differently than those
00:26:08.180 who have an extensive criminal record,
00:26:10.720 particularly in view of the fact that there
00:26:12.360 are limited resources.
00:26:14.860 So let's get the dangerous criminals out
00:26:16.740 of the country first, and then we can
00:26:18.740 deal with the questions of others who are
00:26:20.380 here illegally.
00:26:21.920 I do think there has to be some reason
00:26:24.520 within this program.
00:26:26.440 Albrego Garcia was previously deported to
00:26:28.760 El Salvador early this year, only to be
00:26:31.280 returned to the United States over an alleged
00:26:33.540 procedural error.
00:26:35.840 Last week, a federal judge temporarily halted
00:26:38.420 further action, claiming that the prosecution
00:26:40.820 of Garcia was vindictive.
00:26:43.840 In other words, these liberals would do
00:26:45.540 anything to keep this illegal in the United
00:26:47.280 States.
00:26:48.280 They continue to refer to him as a Maryland
00:26:50.400 man.
00:26:50.840 He's not a resident of Maryland.
00:26:52.500 He is a resident of El Salvador.
00:26:55.300 He represents the ability of the left to
00:26:57.240 undermine our current border policy.
00:27:00.040 Albrego Garcia is a statement from the left
00:27:02.640 that your country has been conquered and you
00:27:05.140 will be replaced and you cannot vote your way
00:27:07.800 out of it.
00:27:08.200 We hope to prove them wrong in next year's
00:27:10.680 midterm elections.
00:27:11.600 Perhaps we'll have to consider some other
00:27:14.000 remedies.
00:27:15.040 In the meantime, there is a major battle
00:27:18.060 shaping up in Europe.
00:27:20.080 Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who's
00:27:22.560 one of my personal heroes.
00:27:24.220 Of course, that's because I am half Italian,
00:27:27.000 half Italian and half Hungarian.
00:27:29.340 I'm Italian from the waist down.
00:27:31.660 But the leading nationalist in Europe and a
00:27:33.960 close friend of President Trump is warning
00:27:36.160 that Europe is drifting dangerously close to
00:27:39.040 war.
00:27:40.040 And he says ordinary citizens are being kept
00:27:42.340 in the dark about how serious the situation
00:27:44.780 in Europe has become.
00:27:46.560 Speaking on national television, Hungarian
00:27:49.320 President Viktor Orban said that recent
00:27:51.880 anti-war demonstrations in Hungary were
00:27:54.380 against what he called a growing push by
00:27:57.040 European elites to prepare for an open
00:27:59.080 conflict with Russia.
00:28:01.080 According to the Hungarian leader, recent
00:28:03.380 European Union members have resembled a war
00:28:06.480 council with leaders openly discussing
00:28:08.940 military escalations while ignoring the
00:28:11.920 impact, economic impact, and potential human
00:28:15.880 costs.
00:28:16.420 Orban warned that the divide between the United
00:28:19.120 States and Europe was widening considerably
00:28:21.180 since President Donald Trump returned to
00:28:23.420 office.
00:28:24.380 Orban also said Washington has shown more
00:28:26.220 restraint while Brussels continues to push a
00:28:28.840 confrontational agenda.
00:28:30.220 Orban said it was once unthinkable that America
00:28:33.220 would say no and Europe would push ahead
00:28:35.040 anyway, but that appears to be exactly what is
00:28:38.100 happening.
00:28:39.280 The Hungarian prime minister pointed to plans by
00:28:41.940 European institutions to funnel nearly $90
00:28:45.200 billion more to Ukraine, money he says the EU does
00:28:49.220 not currently have, which would force member states
00:28:52.200 into crippling debt.
00:28:53.940 Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic refused to
00:28:56.800 back this plan.
00:28:57.620 With Orban warning it will saddle Hungarian families
00:29:00.660 with hundreds of billions of dollars in future
00:29:03.260 liabilities and debt.
00:29:05.340 He also accused European elites of ignoring the
00:29:07.740 economic reality at home, arguing that energy costs,
00:29:11.900 inflation, and stagnation are punishing the working
00:29:16.140 families of Eastern Europe.
00:29:18.380 Orban warned that seizing Russian assets or
00:29:20.720 escalating the war could drag Europe into an
00:29:24.820 irreversible conflict.
00:29:26.180 On the domestic front, Orban contrasted Europe's war
00:29:30.360 footing with Hungary's focus on stability, pointing
00:29:33.640 to tax relief for the working families in his
00:29:36.040 country, housing support, and energy price
00:29:39.540 protections.
00:29:40.380 Next year, Orban faces his greatest challenge yet from
00:29:43.580 the globalists that hope to oust him from power and
00:29:46.220 replace him with a controlled puppet who will support
00:29:49.420 endless war with Ukraine, as well as provoking Russia to
00:29:52.780 the detriment of the Hungarian people.
00:29:54.560 We must hope that Orban prevails because no one in Europe is a
00:30:00.900 stronger voice for the autonomy of the Hungarian people.
00:30:09.820 And we have to ask a serious question as to whether NATO, which made
00:30:13.840 perfect sense at the end of World War II, makes any sense at all.
00:30:18.280 After all, after World War II, most of the economies of Europe were decimated, while
00:30:24.500 America's economy was still relatively strong.
00:30:27.640 Therefore, this joint defense compact that we entered into, NATO, made sense.
00:30:34.180 Now, however, Donald Trump first pointed out in his first term that our NATO allies have
00:30:40.380 failed to hold up their end of the bargain.
00:30:42.340 In other words, the United States paid its dues, but thanks to Donald Trump insisting, the other
00:30:48.380 members of NATO finally coughed up $650 million.
00:30:54.040 The president has argued all the way back to 1988 as to why we should pick up the tab for the
00:30:59.800 defense of Europe when the Europeans don't want to do so themselves.
00:31:03.940 And if you look at their contributions to the Ukrainian war effort, you will see that that
00:31:09.980 money has come disproportionately from the United States of America.
00:31:15.200 Yet, Ukraine and Russia on the other side of the globe.
00:31:20.020 We have to hope that Orban does win because, as I say, is one of the few voices of reason in Europe,
00:31:25.480 as many heads of state continue to clamor for World War III.
00:31:29.020 Doing this as genocide, Russian-hating globalist elites become drunker and drunker with power.
00:31:36.300 It is interesting that they have to rig the elections in France to prohibit the election
00:31:41.580 of a nationalist conservative.
00:31:44.380 We have a nationalist, more pro-U.S. president in Italy.
00:31:51.360 Once again, conservative parties gained in the most recent election in Germany.
00:31:56.460 The left is running out of time.
00:31:59.140 But they want to get their hands on that $90 billion, which allegedly will flow to Ukraine.
00:32:05.900 But many of the NATO nations believe that this money will flow back to them, theoretically,
00:32:12.440 for the rebuilding of their national defense.
00:32:16.040 I'm not buying it.
00:32:18.060 So keep an eye on Viktor Orban.
00:32:21.500 He is the most impressive of the European leaders.
00:32:23.620 I don't say that just because I'm half Hungarian.
00:32:26.740 But Hungary is a country, like Poland, like Romania, which has never allowed any form of Islamic
00:32:35.340 immigration, which is why those may be the three most stable countries in Europe today.
00:32:42.240 Anyway, you're listening to The Stone Zone.
00:32:44.300 I'm Roger Stone.
00:32:45.340 Here we talk politics, news, history, and you get the inside scoop on what's really happening
00:32:50.900 in Washington, whether it's happening in Washington, whether it's happening in Mar-a-Lago.
00:32:55.780 We are on top of it right here in The Stone Zone.
00:32:59.060 And we ask you to join us five days a week.
00:33:02.500 I'm Roger Stone.
00:33:03.320 Whatever you do, don't touch that dial because, well, we'll be right back.
00:33:07.480 You are now re-entering The Stone Zone.
00:33:21.960 Well, the entire nation woke up this past Monday to a political firestorm after a bombshell
00:33:28.280 investigation by citizen journalist Nick Shirley went viral, racking up more than 100 million
00:33:34.280 views in just days.
00:33:36.420 The reporting focuses on fraud tied to Somali-linked daycare and social service operations in the
00:33:43.600 state of Minnesota, with Shirley examining entities accusing of siphoning millions of dollars in
00:33:49.320 taxpayer funds through leastly regulated welfare programs.
00:33:53.520 Again, a citizen journalist in his 20s went to the facilities and confirmed that there were
00:33:59.140 scams that were providing no services to the community, with swarthy sub-Saharan swindlers
00:34:05.680 blathering gibberish at him and calling him a criminal for simply asking questions.
00:34:10.700 The explosive nature of the findings has ignited public outrage and a new examination of whether
00:34:17.320 similar scams are taking place in other states, notably Michigan, Ohio, and Washington State,
00:34:24.140 where there are now already reports of tens of millions of dollars of alleged abuse.
00:34:30.660 This proves what many taxpayers have already suspected, that there's a complete breakdown
00:34:36.280 in oversight inside our U.S. federal government.
00:34:41.300 When taxpayers flow with minimal accountability, corruption becomes part and parcel of the system.
00:34:47.640 Import the third world and you become the third world, as the old adage goes.
00:34:51.800 One thing worth notice is how the corporate media has gone completely silent over this
00:34:57.620 multi-million dollar fraud.
00:35:00.740 Before it's over, I believe the number in Minnesota will not be 10 million, but will be closer to
00:35:05.680 50 million or more.
00:35:07.640 So one must ask, where is the New York Times?
00:35:11.000 Where is the Washington Post?
00:35:12.800 Where is the Wall Street Journal?
00:35:14.540 Where is CNN?
00:35:16.240 Where is MSNBC?
00:35:18.200 I mean, I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet.
00:35:24.360 But they have ignored what will turn out to be one of the greatest single billion dollar
00:35:30.740 scams in American fiscal history.
00:35:34.040 At this point, the facts are very hard to ignore.
00:35:37.480 What's particularly striking is how this mirrors the recent efforts by Elon Musk and others to
00:35:42.580 uncover waste and fraud at the federal level.
00:35:45.360 Efforts that were met with coordinated political attacks and even violence against some of the
00:35:50.840 Tesla facilities.
00:35:52.480 You recall that, no?
00:35:53.760 Don't you?
00:35:54.480 Now, a new model is emerging.
00:35:56.100 Tech investors and independent journalists are now openly discussing the creation of a
00:36:01.220 crowdfunded, decentralized network of citizen investigators.
00:36:05.600 A Doge-style effort aimed at exposing corruption in deep blue states.
00:36:11.020 If this model takes hold, it could overwhelm the political establishment and create an atmosphere
00:36:16.400 for actual reform.
00:36:18.960 Patriots, it's time to enlist in the information war.
00:36:22.580 Start locally by exposing your local tyrants.
00:36:25.160 Get out your cell phone and start asking questions.
00:36:28.520 My heartiest congratulations to Nick Shirley, who racked up far more than 100 million views now
00:36:35.040 on his initial video, and he has set a standard as citizen journalists in other states begin to examine
00:36:42.840 these fraudulent COVID-19-related programs.
00:36:47.660 It's going to turn out to be one of the greatest fiscal scandals in the history of the country,
00:36:53.640 and it all started with a 28-year-old.
00:36:57.260 I'm still waiting for the New York Times.
00:36:59.280 I guess I can wait a long time.
00:37:01.060 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump revealed the United States took out what he described
00:37:05.020 as a major drug facility tied to Venezuela's narco-state regime.
00:37:09.800 For those who are watching the situation in Venezuela, I think it's very important to recognize
00:37:14.020 that this fight is not about regime change.
00:37:18.140 This is about the fact that the Majuro regime is like a mafia state, and this is a Marxist narco-trafficking
00:37:26.740 operation that is importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of death into the United States.
00:37:33.580 President Donald Trump has every justification to take out Maduro and end the flow of deadly drugs
00:37:39.540 into the United States.
00:37:40.920 You heard it here first on the Stone Zone.
00:37:44.080 Some may argue that this is Bush-style regime change.
00:37:48.260 I say Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump are absolutely right,
00:37:54.060 and that there is, at this time, without any question, a moral imperative because of the drugs coming into our country
00:38:02.760 to remove Maduro from power.
00:38:05.360 I'm Roger Stone.
00:38:06.280 You're listening to The Stone Zone.
00:38:07.740 God bless you, and Godspeed.
00:38:10.320 Thanks for listening to The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
