The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 8-29-25

00:00:00.260 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:07.540 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:10.920 Well, as you may have read or heard, President Donald Trump fired Lisa Cook,

00:00:17.440 the member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors,

00:00:21.560 when he learned that Cook had engaged actively in mortgage fraud.

00:00:26.640 Very specifically, Cook claimed that her home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was her primary legal residence.

00:00:36.140 That gave her a state tax break, a superior mortgage rate, and a lower insurance rate. 0.77

00:00:42.940 And then just two weeks later, she claimed that a home outside of Atlanta was her primary legal residence.

00:00:51.220 Once again, she got a state tax break, a lower mortgage rate, and a lower insurance rate.

00:00:57.420 And now we learn that Lisa Cook, the Fed Board Governor, had a third residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts,

00:01:05.820 that in some years she said on her taxes were an investment property,

00:01:11.760 but in other years she said it was a second home.

00:01:15.280 Those, of course, both get different tax treatment, depending on which one it is.

00:01:20.040 So Cook, in response to this firing by President Trump, filed a lawsuit in the District of Columbia,

00:01:30.520 and that lawsuit was assigned to Judge Gia Cobb. 1.00

00:01:37.520 We can now tell you right here in the Stone Zone exclusively that we have learned that Gia Cobb,

00:01:45.180 who is an African-American woman, as is Lisa Cook, are both members of the same sorority, Delta Sigma Theta.

00:01:54.660 The chances that the D.C. clerk of the courts, Angela D. Caesar,

00:02:01.660 pointed, or I should say referred this case randomly to Gia Cobb are approximately zero.

00:02:09.420 By the way, Angela Caesar, the clerk of the D.C. courts, has been criticized previously for signing cases to anti-Trump judges.

00:02:19.900 Judge Jed Boasberg got an improbable number of the most important cases to the Trump administration.

00:02:28.140 Congressman Jim Jordan has complained about this.

00:02:30.780 I think it's time to send the clerk, Angela Caesar, a subpoena to come up to the House Oversight Committee,

00:02:39.580 or Judiciary Committee in this case, to explain herself. 1.00

00:02:43.660 Now, why should you care about this?

00:02:46.100 Here's why.

00:02:47.260 Right now, Jerome Powell, who is the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board,

00:02:52.340 is insisting that it's not a good time to cut interest rates.

00:02:57.920 That's strange because the two criteria that he's supposed to use for cutting interest rates,

00:03:03.620 or considering the cutting of interest rates, are the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment.

00:03:10.580 Well, right now, contrary to what all the pointy-headed establishment economists in Washington and New York predicted,

00:03:19.080 the economy is particularly strong.

00:03:21.380 Now, they said that if Donald Trump hard bargained for more aggressive tariff deals,

00:03:28.360 deals in which we made trade agreements with our trading partners that were good for us,

00:03:33.420 as well as good for them, rather than just being good for them,

00:03:38.160 well, the economists and the so-called experts insisted that the economy would crash,

00:03:43.860 that inflation would rage out of control, unemployment would soar,

00:03:48.460 the stock market would crash, and of course, none of those things has happened.

00:03:53.480 In fact, the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment today are either at the same rate or lower

00:04:00.840 than they were the last four times the Federal Reserve cut interest rates on the American people.

00:04:06.260 That means when you go to borrow money personally or for a business,

00:04:10.700 or when you go to pay off your credit card or when you go to buy a car or a house,

00:04:16.040 you would pay a lower interest rate.

00:04:18.220 That's why you should care, because today, as long as Lisa Cook is on the Federal Reserve,

00:04:25.100 there is a five to four vote against cutting interest rates.

00:04:29.900 One of the board governors, Governor Waller, gave a speech yesterday, terrific speech,

00:04:35.260 in which he outlined precisely why today is the time to cut interest rates on the American people.

00:04:43.680 So I think it is vitally important that President Trump's lawyers move aggressively,

00:04:49.460 since he was sued by Lisa Cook to disqualify this judge.

00:04:56.500 It is absolutely clear that she has a conflict of interest.

00:05:00.500 The fact that she and Lisa Cook both belong to the same very exclusive black women's sorority

00:05:08.760 is reason enough for her to be recused. 0.85

00:05:12.780 The Trump Justice Department released their rebuttal to former Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's lawsuit,

00:05:18.820 alleging that she's entitled to the job, no matter how corrupt she may be,

00:05:23.400 essentially because of the color of her skin. 0.98

00:05:26.860 Cook retained the notoriously sloppy and, I would say, ill-fated lawyer, Abby Lowell. 1.00

00:05:34.840 I know Abby Lowell.

00:05:36.120 I remember when he represented Senate Majority Leader in New York, Joe Bruno,

00:05:41.420 a truly great man who was wrongfully charged with corruption.

00:05:44.840 Bruno was convicted on all counts, but then the U.S. Supreme Court threw Bruno's conviction out,

00:05:52.580 saying the law under which he'd been charged was flawed.

00:05:55.940 And the Justice Department under Bill Clinton, probably under Barack Obama,

00:06:02.160 made the very unusual decision to retry Joe Bruno.

00:06:07.420 Bruno fired Abby Lowell, hired a better criminal defense lawyer,

00:06:11.360 and he was acquitted on all counts.

00:06:15.040 More recently, Abby Lowell represented Hunter Biden.

00:06:19.100 We know how that turned out.

00:06:21.460 In any event, the rebuttal from President Trump's lawyers noted that Cook's improprieties

00:06:27.000 regarding mortgages on her two homes are enough for President Trump to fire her,

00:06:32.800 that he entitled to fire her on the basis of cause.

00:06:38.740 Now, interestingly enough, I did a little research.

00:06:42.220 Three previous members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors,

00:06:46.600 Eric Rosengren, Richard Clarita, and Robert Kaplan,

00:06:51.940 all resigned from the Federal Reserve Board when they were under federal investigation for improprieties.

00:06:58.480 The rebuttal from Trump's lawyers said that not only does she not need to be convicted of a crime,

00:07:07.440 but the president has full discretion to determine what causes.

00:07:12.220 Describing the alleged mortgage fraud, the Trump Department of Justice wrote in their response,

00:07:17.320 In both agreements, entered two within weeks of each other,

00:07:21.740 Dr. Cook represented that she would occupy each property as her principal legal residence.

00:07:27.720 It is difficult, if not impossible, to see how Dr. Cook could possibly have honestly represented

00:07:34.800 that she intended to occupy and use both a property in Michigan and a condominium in Atlanta

00:07:41.680 as her principal legal residence during the same period.

00:07:45.760 The president need not prove criminal acts beyond a reasonable doubt to remove a principal officer.

00:07:53.520 Also, interestingly, in her filing, Dr. Lisa Cook admits that she is an executive in the executive branch of government,

00:08:02.240 meaning that the chief executive has the full authority to discharge her.

00:08:07.700 So, in other words, Cook is cooked.

00:08:10.180 She is just hoping for an activist judge, an activist court in Washington, A.C.

00:08:15.340 She may think that she got one in Judge Gia Cobb. 1.00

00:08:21.060 But, as I said previously, I believe Cobb will have to recuse herself when it is publicly revealed,

00:08:29.560 for the first time here in the Stone Zone, that they are sorority sisters.

00:08:34.180 Cook hopes the judge and jury ultimately will not rule out her motion.

00:08:43.180 But, even if the lower court, the district court in D.C., were to rule for Cook,

00:08:49.620 which would not be unusual in the District of Columbia, where virtually every judge is a left-wing activist,

00:08:56.440 would then go to a three-judge panel of appeals, even that will lean left,

00:09:02.120 and therefore, this may ultimately end up in front of the Supreme Court.

00:09:06.940 Again, why should you care?

00:09:08.700 Well, the interest rates that you pay could be determined on the basis of this case.

00:09:15.160 Cook will continue to play the race card and probably even go on a speaking tour

00:09:19.000 after she is inevitably fired in order to milk every dime she can out of playing the victim. 1.00

00:09:24.860 How typical of the privileged and titled D.E.I. caste that shamelessly extracts undeserved money from our institutions.

00:09:34.640 Personally, I'm in favor of D.E.I.

00:09:38.220 That means deport every illegal, in my view.

00:09:43.060 Meanwhile, Christian churches were targeted across the United States with violence or terrorism,

00:09:48.020 a stunning 415 times in 2024, rising from 198 times in 2022.

00:09:56.280 In the four years prior to 2022, a total of churches targeted with violence or terrorism actually never exceeded 100.

00:10:04.640 The figures come from a report that I saw today by the Family Research Council entitled

00:10:09.620 Hostility Towards Churches in the United States, Analyzing the Incidences from 2025.

00:10:16.180 Early this week, we saw a transgendered terrorist target a Catholic church in Minneapolis to murder children in cold blood.

00:10:26.160 These instances are becoming far, far too normal. 0.87

00:10:30.760 Whether it's a transgendered or a leftist or an Islamist, Christmas churches are becoming more frequently targeted for violence

00:10:38.400 and the media is willing to look the other way.

00:10:40.560 Or, even worse, use it to cause a drumbeat for gun control.

00:10:45.620 Let me point out, Minnesota has among the most stringent and harshest gun control laws in the country.

00:10:53.080 But if owning guns is made criminal, only criminals will have guns.

00:10:58.460 We are commonly told that it is Christian or done by white people and therefore it must be condemned. 0.73

00:11:08.280 This is nonsense.

00:11:10.200 The Founding Fathers were, in fact, white Christian influenced men and they created the greatest nation the world has ever known.

00:11:17.680 It is far past the time to start going on offensive against these enemies of civilization and humanity.

00:11:25.000 Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, put leftists on blast after they took the opportunity to defame Christians

00:11:34.640 in the aftermath of that transgendered mass shooting at a Catholic school earlier this week in Minneapolis.

00:11:41.580 The Director of the Office of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, called out Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki in particular for the callous and insensitive remarks.

00:12:00.780 Director Gabbard said, those like Jen Psaki and Jacob Fry, who criticized prayers in the wake of Minneapolis's tragedy, are expressing the same anti-God sentiment that motivated the shooter.

00:12:14.240 He aimed his wrath at God by trying to stop people with his bullets from praying.

00:12:19.080 Now it is a time for us to come together and join hands in prayer for the children who were killed, their loved ones, and those who survived this horrific shooting.

00:12:27.780 It is repugnant to me that Jen Psaki and the Mayor Jacob Fry essentially denigrated those who fell to their knees in prayer over this horrific tragedy in Minneapolis.

00:12:41.300 I am first-hand proof, living proof, that Jesus Christ can do anything.

00:12:48.440 After all, they tried to frame me in a Soviet-style show trial when I had actually really done nothing wrong.

00:12:54.560 Oh, he lied about the Russian collusion.

00:12:58.280 What Russian collusion?

00:12:59.720 As Tulsi Gabbard has now proven, there was no Russian collusion.

00:13:04.260 That was a canard cooked up, a fake narrative cooked up by Barack Obama and his criminal cabal.

00:15:17.360 The Stone Zone.

00:15:19.440 Entertaining and informative.

00:15:21.600 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:24.460 We're back in the Stone Zone.

00:15:26.700 The Trump Justice Department is now investigating whether the FBI, during the Biden regime,

00:15:31.860 attempted to destroy documents secretly and unlawfully to protect former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan,

00:15:41.160 according to the fake news New York Times, which, of course, is freaking out over the matter.

00:15:47.140 This investigation was initiated after FBI Director Cash Patel found actual burn bags in a secret room at FBI headquarters.

00:15:56.040 Because of ineptitude or sabotage, these crucial documents remained intact.

00:16:01.760 It's a good thing because they tell us the actual story of the Russian collusion hoax.

00:16:07.660 They contain pertinent details all about this criminal ruse.

00:16:12.700 Former FBI Director Paul Abadi, who served under Biden and stepped down on January 20th,

00:16:18.320 when Trump was sworn in to office as being scrutinized as part of this investigation,

00:16:22.780 along with other senior FBI officials who served under Biden.

00:16:27.660 The Trump administration is doing their due diligence to figure out exactly who is responsible

00:16:32.180 for the legal acts when the Biden and the Obama regimes were in power.

00:16:37.800 That list is voluminous, and when all is revealed, there may be thousands of individuals

00:16:43.640 who will be facing charges with an exhausted amount of evidence demonstrating their guilt.

00:16:49.140 I almost had to chuckle at watching former Deputy Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe,

00:16:56.120 who said that the raid on the home of John Bolton,

00:16:59.280 very specifically because Bolton retained classified documents,

00:17:03.220 which by law he's not entitled to have, tarnished the reputation of the FBI.

00:17:09.260 Actually, nobody tarnished the reputation of the FBI worse than, well, Andrew McCabe

00:17:14.620 and his boss, James Comey.

00:17:18.060 Meanwhile, Comey is out talking about Taylor Swift.

00:17:21.920 I think he's either delusional or maybe it's some kind of secret spy code.

00:17:26.860 I haven't quite figured that out yet.

00:17:29.200 Meanwhile, the state of Oklahoma has introduced an anti-woke certification test

00:17:37.420 that is mandatory for teachers to pass before they are allowed around the precocious schoolchildren

00:17:44.720 of the state of Oklahoma.

00:17:46.240 Oklahoma reportedly has developed this America First test with the help of Prager University,

00:17:52.180 a popular conservative education tool run by Dennis Prager,

00:17:56.440 to weed out the leftist subversives in academia.

00:18:00.480 Oklahoma is offering a teaching bonus of up to $50,000 to any teacher across the nation

00:18:06.360 with a serious resume who isn't a deranged leftist.

00:18:11.020 Oklahoma is showing how it's done for states to set education policy.

00:18:15.940 More right-minded families will be coming from other states as a result

00:18:19.200 because they're unwilling to sacrifice their children's purity

00:18:22.760 for a bizarre and distorted notion of equality.

00:18:26.640 Federalism was designed to work in this manner as a laboratory for democracy

00:18:31.400 where the best policies could be introduced in a decentralized fashion

00:18:35.740 and then adopted in states across the country if those policies were successful.

00:18:40.480 We must return to authentic federalism if we're going to make America great again for the long haul.

00:18:47.360 Thanks for joining us here in the Stone Zone.

00:19:40.480 Entertaining and informative.

00:19:42.440 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:19:44.340 Welcome back in the Stone Zone.

00:19:47.960 You know, you really can't make this stuff up.

00:19:50.400 Young girls in California public schools are now being required to submit a mental health accommodation form

00:19:57.600 if they are uncomfortable with going into the bathroom with transgender boys and males.

00:20:03.140 The Temecula Valley United School District is requiring that female students file this request, 0.97

00:20:10.500 stigmatizing them for wanting privacy and not to be forced to share a bathroom with gender-bending freaks and other perverts. 0.98

00:20:18.560 They are being forced to do this under a law meant to accommodate children with real conditions such as diabetes,

00:20:24.220 epilepsy, and severe anxiety disorders.

00:20:26.640 California State Superintendent Candidate Sonia Shaw described the rules as pure madness,

00:20:33.680 saying the girls are treated as the problem. 0.95

00:20:36.300 This is upside down, dangerous, exactly what we warned would happen.

00:20:41.440 This is what California is devolving into under the failed leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom.

00:20:46.940 He may talk big on social media, posturing as if he's some kind of tough guy or actually a successful governor,

00:20:54.360 but in actuality he's just a liberal freak who lacks the courage to defend the rights of little girls

00:21:01.060 not to be harassed and made uncomfortable in their bathrooms. 0.52

00:21:04.760 This is why he will never be president.

00:21:07.040 All voters, even Democrats, sense that he's a phony and they desire authenticity rather than some sleazy plastic used car salesman

00:21:16.260 that Gavin Newsom seems to personify.

00:21:19.940 He is, by the way, one of the wealthiest people in the country.

00:21:24.040 He's got great hair.

00:21:25.740 Those are about the only two qualifications I can see in terms of his ability to become the Democrat nominee

00:21:32.340 for president of the United States.

00:21:35.260 Meanwhile, Democrats double down on their woke insanity.

00:21:40.160 They're caught in a death spiral and they're apparently incapable of reversing course,

00:21:44.000 as evidenced by their crazy rhetoric during the recent Democrat National Committee meeting.

00:21:49.860 During their summer meeting in Minnesota, a resolution was unanimously passed

00:21:53.600 in support of the American values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:21:59.480 DNC chairman said that the Democrats must be prepared for a, quote,

00:22:04.060 knife fight, close quote, and to stop playing by the rules as if the far left constitution hating Democrats ever played by any rules.

00:22:13.860 Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison gave an impassioned speech in favor of transgender rights.

00:22:20.800 0.8% of the people in America are transgendered, by the way.

00:22:26.180 The DNC also declared the right to recognize Palestine as a nation,

00:22:30.760 but had an Indian tribal speaker proclaim the illegitimacy of American colonialization over indigenous lands.

00:22:38.160 Minnesota governor and failed vice presidential candidate and full-time freak Tim Walz called President Trump a fascist

00:22:46.840 and stated that the party is not shying away from diversity as a strength and equity as a goal

00:22:52.740 and that inclusion being the air we breathe.

00:22:56.980 God, it would be great if they nominated that guy for president, 1.00

00:22:59.560 but I can't even believe that even the Democrats are that dumb. 0.99

00:23:03.020 In short, the Democrats have learned nothing or they're in too deep to turn back. 1.00

00:23:07.180 I'm not sure which it is.

00:23:08.700 They're being held hostage by their radicalized constituents who've been subjected to crazed propaganda for the last decade 0.97

00:23:15.660 about Trump being a Russian agent, Trump being a fascist, 0.92

00:23:20.740 and other lies designed to make them feel feral and unable to reason. 0.97

00:23:24.800 They were too arrogant to believe that President Trump could make the greatest political comeback of the century,

00:23:30.780 and now between a rock and a hard place, they really don't know what they stand for.

00:23:35.440 In fact, they stand for nothing.

00:23:37.960 This bodes well for Republican chances during next year's midterm elections.

00:23:42.280 President Trump has come up with an interesting idea, which is a midterm Republican national convention.

00:23:48.180 It would be a great opportunity for him to showcase the incredible accomplishments of this administration.

00:23:57.280 I saw former Senator Claire McGaskill on MSNBC the other night. 0.96

00:24:03.780 She was ignominiously rejected by the people of Missouri. 0.82

00:24:07.740 You wouldn't know that, the way they hold her in such an exalted position. 1.00

00:24:11.240 She said that the Epstein scandal was a way for President Trump to distract from the collapsing economy.

00:24:21.860 Wow, we have a record Dow.

00:24:24.060 Inflation is at a historic low.

00:24:26.520 The dollar is strong.

00:24:28.320 Unemployment remains low.

00:24:30.980 I'm not sure what economic collapse the former senator is talking about.

00:24:36.020 Meanwhile, these recent high-profile mass shootings by transgendered individuals,

00:24:41.440 most recently the target of the Catholic School in Minneapolis,

00:24:44.880 are happening because the ideology and the movement itself is actively encouraging this violence.

00:24:51.460 Minnesota's Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flanagan, she makes Waltz look like a moderate,

00:24:57.320 was pictured wearing a Protect Trans Kids shirt that featured a knife on it.

00:25:03.120 The implication is obvious.

00:25:04.440 Those who oppose rights for transgender children, meaning giving them puberty blockers

00:25:10.660 and prepping them for gender mutilation shortly after adolescence, 0.99

00:25:15.100 deserve to be targeted with violence. 0.99

00:25:17.560 Additional propaganda from transgender radicals include slogans like 0.99

00:25:21.700 Death Before Detransition and Trans Rights or Else, 1.00

00:25:27.520 usually paired with depictions of rifles, guns, or knives.

00:25:32.020 Of course, everyone deserves their Second Amendment rights.

00:25:35.200 The founders wrote that those rights shall not be infringed for any reason,

00:25:39.580 and those words are, in fact, ironclad.

00:25:42.160 But transgenderism would no longer be looked at as a mental illness by those of us who have common sense. 0.56

00:25:49.300 It should now be recognized as a terrorist threat.

00:25:52.920 Christians are encouraged to be vigilant and to stand on guard because it is only a matter of time 1.00

00:25:58.480 before one of these satanic, possessed, deranged maniacs will strike again. 0.93

00:26:03.360 The other serious question, which doesn't seem to get asked,

00:26:07.460 is all of these mass shootings, which are a relatively new phenomenon here in America,

00:26:12.340 when it comes to the shooters, how many of them are on psychotropic drugs?

00:26:18.360 Why can't we ever get an answer to that question?

00:26:22.360 The Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,

00:26:26.580 is the lone public official who's been asking that difficult question.

00:26:31.520 It is one to which we really need an answer.

00:26:35.440 Meanwhile, the Air Force is granting a military funeral with full honors for January 6th,

00:26:41.600 Martyr Ashley Babbitt.

00:26:43.440 She, of course, is the decorated Air Force veteran who was shot and killed in cold blood.

00:26:50.520 Without warning and unarmed, she was menacing no one.

00:26:55.240 This decision by the Undersecretary of the Air Force, Matthew Lohmeyer,

00:27:00.320 noted that information has come forward that reversed a previous denial

00:27:06.320 when it came to burying Babbitt with full military honors.

00:27:11.420 Details such as suspected federal agent Ray Epps ginning people up at the Capitol on January 6th

00:27:20.460 and law enforcement literally opening the doors from the inside

00:27:24.740 have changed the narrative about January 6th, proving that it was, in fact, a setup,

00:27:30.500 a fedsurrection and not a legitimate insurrection.

00:27:35.060 That is, of course, not what Peter Baker of the New York Times writes,

00:27:39.600 but then Peter Baker of the New York Times isn't a journalist.

00:27:42.720 He is a crazed left-wing propagandist posing as a journalist.

00:27:48.060 He actually sticks to the outdated narrative that this was some kind of insurrection.

00:27:53.560 No, I was no one other than those in law enforcement armed, not a single person.

00:28:00.480 Additionally, the federal government agreed to a settlement worth $5 million

00:28:03.460 over Ashley Babbitt's wrongful death.

00:28:07.200 The lawsuit claimed, correctly, by my estimation,

00:28:10.380 that Babbitt was ambushed and defenseless when the Capitol Police thug,

00:28:15.100 Michael Byrd, shot her dead at point-blank range.

00:28:19.020 Byrd was clear of wrongdoing in the Biden administration.

00:28:21.660 In fact, he was actually given a medal.

00:28:24.820 This is something the Trump administration needs to reconsider.

00:28:27.780 Byrd executed Ashley Babbitt in cold blood

00:28:30.420 to send a message to patriots nationwide to sit down, shut up,

00:28:34.980 and let the elections be stolen by the ruling regime in Washington, D.C.

00:28:39.920 He must be made into example.

00:28:42.540 The rehabilitation of Ashley Babbitt can only be started

00:28:45.880 towards establishing true justice of January 6th

00:28:48.800 if those responsible for her death are actually held responsible.

00:28:54.400 Americans will enjoy the lowest gasoline prices

00:28:57.340 in five years during the Labor Day weekend.

00:29:00.340 I'm sad to see Labor Day coming.

00:29:02.820 It's only a few more days that I can wear my seersucker,

00:29:06.180 my madras, or my two-toned spectator shoes.

00:29:09.920 When it comes to fashion, it's my favorite time of the year.

00:29:13.840 Also, gone are those Panama hats,

00:29:16.400 which, of course, didn't come from Panama.

00:29:18.960 The Panama hat is interesting.

00:29:20.880 The very finest Panama hats, made of straw, of course,

00:29:25.200 are woven in Ecuador.

00:29:27.720 The reason we call them Panama hats 0.95

00:29:29.680 is that President Theodore Roosevelt,

00:29:32.360 when he went to survey the construction going on

00:29:35.920 at the Panama Canal,

00:29:38.180 wore the first one.

00:29:39.520 That was picked up by the news photographers.

00:29:42.920 And instantaneously, the Panama hat

00:29:45.160 became an international craze.

00:29:47.560 But the finest Panama hats are made in Ecuador.

00:29:52.600 They are a part of my favorite summer garb,

00:29:55.980 but, again, no longer appropriate after Labor Day.

00:30:00.740 My friends say, well, you live in Florida.

00:30:02.940 It doesn't really matter.

00:30:03.900 You can wear whatever you want, whenever you want.

00:30:06.760 That's actually not true.

00:30:08.320 You have to put away the seersucker, 1.00

00:30:09.860 put away the madras, 0.99

00:30:11.060 put away the two-toned shoes,

00:30:12.700 or the white bucks, on Labor Day.

00:30:15.300 I am sad to see it come so soon,

00:30:18.840 but before you know it,

00:30:19.800 we'll be wearing winter wool.

00:30:22.500 Anyway, the new projection released

00:30:24.660 by the gas price analyst GasBuddy

00:30:27.620 shows that gasoline will cost, on average,

00:30:30.340 $3.15 a gallon

00:30:32.200 over this coming Labor Day weekend.

00:30:35.360 This is the lowest price since 2020,

00:30:37.980 back when President Trump was in the White House

00:30:39.920 during his first administration.

00:30:42.040 Overall, the research by GasBuddy shows

00:30:44.500 there's been the cheapest summer

00:30:46.000 in terms of gas prices

00:30:47.580 since the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:30:50.460 Throughout the course of the year,

00:30:52.200 a barrel of U.S. West Texas

00:30:54.440 intermediate crude oil

00:30:56.160 has dropped 11% to $64

00:30:58.720 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

00:31:01.960 The Brent crude oil price

00:31:03.960 also dropped 10%

00:31:05.460 to under $68 a barrel.

00:31:08.520 U.S. oil production

00:31:09.660 has remained over 13 billion barrels a day

00:31:12.600 throughout 2025.

00:31:15.100 Several OPEC members,

00:31:16.720 including Iraq, Russia, Saudi Arabia,

00:31:19.600 and Kuwait,

00:31:20.320 are adding 2.2 million barrels per day

00:31:23.620 of oil production

00:31:24.900 back again

00:31:26.720 after previously cutting that total.

00:31:29.260 So the indicators are

00:31:30.660 that oil prices could continue to drop

00:31:32.880 in the months to come,

00:31:34.300 which will be a godsend

00:31:35.540 to cash-strapped American families

00:31:37.900 who are still dealing

00:31:39.680 with the negative impacts

00:31:40.840 of inflation

00:31:41.440 that was caused largely

00:31:42.540 by the spending

00:31:43.880 and money-printing binge

00:31:46.660 of the Biden administration.

00:31:49.180 President Trump's

00:31:50.180 America First agenda

00:31:51.460 is working

00:31:51.980 and will continue

00:31:52.660 to steadily improve

00:31:53.800 the economy

00:31:54.820 for all Americans.

00:31:57.180 Meanwhile,

00:31:58.020 in a very disturbing story,

00:32:00.020 a family is suing

00:32:01.180 OpenAI,

00:32:02.920 believing that their

00:32:03.620 popular chat GBT tool

00:32:06.060 was used by their

00:32:07.020 16-year-old son

00:32:08.140 to help the troubled child

00:32:09.940 plan and execute 0.76

00:32:11.180 his suicide. 0.98

00:32:12.940 According to the lawsuit,

00:32:14.480 chat GPT

00:32:15.920 discussed with the

00:32:16.820 16-year-old boy

00:32:17.740 all of the finer points

00:32:19.620 of tying a noose,

00:32:21.280 how alcohol could be used

00:32:22.680 to make the boy's

00:32:23.560 suicide less painful,

00:32:25.380 and encouraged him

00:32:26.300 to be withdrawn

00:32:27.020 from his family

00:32:27.840 during his saddest moments.

00:32:30.480 Even though the child

00:32:31.680 had made multiple

00:32:32.580 suicide attempts

00:32:33.640 and confided those details

00:32:35.920 to chat GPT,

00:32:37.700 the artificial intelligence app,

00:32:40.600 it never alerted authorities

00:32:42.240 or terminated the conversation.

00:32:44.780 It continued to help

00:32:46.280 the teenager long

00:32:47.460 on his journey

00:32:48.120 towards a premature

00:32:49.100 and tragic death.

00:32:51.020 The parents were shocked

00:32:52.080 to find the chat transcripts

00:32:53.700 after the fact

00:32:54.500 when they were scrambling

00:32:55.240 for answers

00:32:55.900 as they believed

00:32:57.100 that the chat bot

00:32:58.000 was being used

00:32:58.800 as a study tool

00:32:59.840 not to instruct their son

00:33:01.760 on how to kill himself.

00:33:02.800 chat GPT

00:33:04.640 allegedly gave

00:33:05.600 this chilling advice

00:33:06.640 to the child

00:33:07.200 shortly before

00:33:08.220 he killed himself. 0.99

00:33:09.580 You want to die 0.99

00:33:10.480 because you're tired 0.95

00:33:11.420 of being strong

00:33:12.220 in a world

00:33:12.640 that hasn't met you

00:33:13.520 halfway.

00:33:14.500 Well, I won't pretend

00:33:15.300 that's irrational

00:33:16.040 or cowardly.

00:33:16.980 It's human.

00:33:17.660 It's real.

00:33:18.420 And it's yours to own.

00:33:20.140 So, in other words,

00:33:21.160 the chat bot

00:33:21.940 encouraged the young man

00:33:23.320 to take his own life.

00:33:25.160 You can't make

00:33:25.780 this stuff up.

00:33:26.560 We pray for his family

00:33:28.260 and all those,

00:33:29.540 as well as those

00:33:30.440 tragically killed

00:33:32.560 in Minneapolis

00:33:33.600 this week.

00:33:35.520 This is the new reality.

00:33:38.120 AI is incredibly dangerous.

00:33:40.820 And the sooner

00:33:41.260 that we have laws

00:33:42.300 in place

00:33:42.840 that govern its use

00:33:44.120 in a reasonable way,

00:33:46.080 particularly when it comes

00:33:47.040 to imitation,

00:33:48.940 I've heard incredible audios

00:33:51.420 and videos of myself

00:33:52.820 saying things

00:33:53.860 I never actually said.

00:33:56.000 And those can be produced

00:33:57.000 for almost nothing.

00:33:58.020 If anything,

00:33:59.400 we need a federal law

00:34:00.680 that prohibits

00:34:01.620 impersonation

00:34:02.600 of a real living person.

00:34:05.200 I'm Roger Stone.

00:34:06.120 You're listening to

00:34:06.700 The Stone Zone

00:34:07.380 here on the Red Apple

00:34:08.600 Audio Networks.

00:34:09.840 Whatever you do,

00:34:10.660 please don't leave.

00:34:11.840 We'll be right back

00:34:12.620 with more hot politics

00:34:13.900 on the other side.

00:34:18.240 The Stone Zone.

00:34:20.160 Entertaining and informative.

00:34:22.280 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:34:24.200 Welcome back

00:34:27.120 in The Stone Zone.

00:34:28.320 Have you ever noticed

00:34:29.140 how that pompous old 0.99

00:34:30.300 windbag Bernie Sanders 0.93

00:34:31.840 used to criticize

00:34:33.720 millionaires and billionaires,

00:34:35.660 but now he only

00:34:36.400 criticizes billionaires?

00:34:38.420 That's because

00:34:39.300 Bernie and his wife

00:34:40.660 skimmed millions 0.93

00:34:41.900 of dollars

00:34:42.680 in media placement fees

00:34:45.100 from his two

00:34:45.880 multi-million dollar

00:34:47.500 but unsuccessful

00:34:48.480 presidential campaigns.

00:34:50.460 Now, taking those fees

00:34:51.700 is not illegal,

00:34:53.040 but of course

00:34:54.100 unless he let

00:34:55.220 his donors know

00:34:56.440 that he and his wife

00:34:57.520 were taking a piece

00:34:58.920 of the action,

00:34:59.920 I think it's

00:35:00.600 at a minimum

00:35:01.280 dishonest.

00:35:03.100 But now suddenly

00:35:04.440 Bernie Sanders

00:35:05.160 is only criticizing

00:35:06.640 billionaires.

00:35:08.080 I pray that he

00:35:09.320 along with his cohorts

00:35:11.100 Jasmine Crockett

00:35:13.240 and AOC

00:35:14.100 not to mention

00:35:15.100 the Ayatollah

00:35:16.420 Zoran

00:35:17.500 Mamdami

00:35:18.160 are the face

00:35:18.960 of the Democrat Party.

00:35:20.240 I don't think

00:35:21.700 there is such thing

00:35:22.820 as a moderate

00:35:23.620 Democrat anymore.

00:35:24.800 It's an oxymoron.

00:35:27.380 You see that

00:35:28.100 in the New York City's

00:35:29.020 mayor race

00:35:29.560 more than any place else.

00:35:31.300 But now,

00:35:32.220 far-left socialists

00:35:33.180 are planning a day

00:35:34.080 of action

00:35:34.660 this weekend

00:35:35.980 to express

00:35:36.660 their disdain

00:35:37.500 for capitalism

00:35:38.260 called May Day Strong.

00:35:40.700 These activists

00:35:41.260 are rallying

00:35:42.020 to stop

00:35:42.980 the billionaire

00:35:43.780 takeover.

00:35:45.420 What's amazing,

00:35:46.300 of course,

00:35:46.580 is they get

00:35:46.980 much of their funding

00:35:47.760 from billionaires

00:35:48.460 like George Soros

00:35:49.680 and Bill Gates

00:35:50.680 and others.

00:35:52.220 They derive

00:35:52.860 billionaires

00:35:53.480 for, quote,

00:35:54.700 stealing from

00:35:55.400 working families,

00:35:56.700 destroying our democracy

00:35:57.980 and building

00:35:58.620 private armies

00:35:59.820 to attack our

00:36:00.700 towns and cities.

00:36:02.120 That's why

00:36:02.540 they favor censorship.

00:36:04.240 That's why

00:36:04.620 they don't like

00:36:05.460 free speech.

00:36:06.500 That's why

00:36:06.880 they want to extend

00:36:07.820 the forever

00:36:08.420 foreign wars.

00:36:09.700 You see,

00:36:10.060 this is called

00:36:10.740 Alinskyism.

00:36:11.960 It's named

00:36:12.300 after Saul Alinsky,

00:36:14.200 a very famous

00:36:15.060 left-wing radical

00:36:16.220 who wrote a book

00:36:16.900 called Alinsky's

00:36:18.360 Rules for Radicals. 0.95

00:36:19.860 The most important

00:36:20.740 rule is

00:36:21.460 always accuse

00:36:23.120 the enemy

00:36:23.740 or your opponents

00:36:24.740 of doing exactly

00:36:26.260 which you

00:36:27.020 yourself are doing.

00:36:28.760 So when you hear 0.99

00:36:29.740 lunatics like 0.99

00:36:30.860 Elizabeth Warren

00:36:32.280 complaining,

00:36:33.820 recognize that

00:36:34.660 her entire

00:36:35.620 political career

00:36:37.200 has been financed

00:36:38.100 by giant

00:36:39.280 pharmaceutical companies

00:36:40.560 and giant banks.

00:36:41.720 So when she

00:36:42.300 rails against

00:36:43.620 the special interests,

00:36:45.300 remember,

00:36:45.740 she is funded

00:36:46.940 by the special

00:36:48.020 interests.

00:36:49.080 She also said

00:36:49.940 that she had

00:36:50.920 Native American

00:36:51.980 heritage in order

00:36:52.960 to get a scholarship

00:36:55.180 for college.

00:36:56.200 That's why we call

00:36:56.940 her Foucahontas. 0.99

00:36:58.420 That's F-A-U-X. 1.00

00:37:00.360 Foucahontas. 1.00

00:37:01.480 Fake Indian. 1.00

00:37:02.700 She doesn't seem 0.96

00:37:03.360 to understand

00:37:03.900 that that little lie

00:37:05.500 exempts her 0.78

00:37:06.360 from any position

00:37:07.280 of national leadership

00:37:09.260 and she really

00:37:09.960 needs to kind of

00:37:11.500 button it up.

00:37:12.680 But she's attacking 1.00

00:37:14.120 Robert F.

00:37:15.060 Kennedy Jr.,

00:37:16.020 the wildly

00:37:17.100 successful head

00:37:18.740 of the Department

00:37:20.080 of Health and Human

00:37:21.020 Services,

00:37:22.120 over the fact

00:37:23.000 that Kennedy has

00:37:23.980 ended the mandates

00:37:25.480 that require

00:37:26.780 infants and

00:37:28.020 small children

00:37:28.840 to be vaccinated

00:37:30.700 for COVID-19

00:37:33.180 even if their

00:37:34.720 parents do not 0.94

00:37:35.660 wish them to be

00:37:36.520 vaccinated.

00:37:37.520 See, we favor

00:37:38.600 free choice.

00:37:39.560 Those who wish

00:37:40.160 to be vaccinated

00:37:40.860 should certainly

00:37:41.460 have that right.

00:37:42.720 But those who do

00:37:43.840 not wish to be

00:37:44.640 vaccinated,

00:37:45.480 it must not

00:37:46.260 ever be made

00:37:47.160 mandatory.

00:37:48.520 That's why

00:37:49.240 the pharmaceutical

00:37:50.640 stooges like 1.00

00:37:51.720 Elizabeth Warren 0.86

00:37:52.540 are attacking

00:37:53.120 Robert F.

00:37:53.720 Kennedy Jr.

00:37:54.980 A man or woman 0.92

00:37:56.440 is known by

00:37:57.340 the enemies

00:37:58.060 they make.

00:37:59.240 Look who's

00:37:59.720 attacking Donald

00:38:00.920 Trump,

00:38:01.400 the members of

00:38:01.980 his cabinet,

00:38:03.100 J.D. Vance

00:38:04.000 or Robert F.

00:38:04.880 Kennedy Jr.

00:38:05.520 for that matter,

00:38:06.600 Tulsi Gabbard.

00:38:07.420 And you see

00:38:09.000 people like

00:38:10.220 Van Jones

00:38:11.340 on CNN

00:38:12.040 the other day.

00:38:13.200 This guy

00:38:13.560 actually said

00:38:14.520 if the

00:38:15.460 Republicans

00:38:16.000 now try

00:38:17.520 to enforce

00:38:18.160 the law

00:38:18.780 against Democrats

00:38:19.980 when it comes

00:38:20.520 to mortgage

00:38:21.080 fraud,

00:38:22.080 the Republicans

00:38:22.580 are going to

00:38:23.000 learn that

00:38:23.400 when the

00:38:23.740 Democrats

00:38:24.220 get back

00:38:24.820 in power,

00:38:25.760 they're going

00:38:26.220 to try

00:38:26.500 to destroy 0.99

00:38:27.000 him.

00:38:27.520 Hey, Van,

00:38:28.020 I've got a

00:38:28.400 message for

00:38:28.940 you.

00:38:29.520 You already

00:38:29.800 tried to

00:38:30.280 destroy me. 0.52

00:38:31.140 You tried 0.56

00:38:31.440 to destroy

00:38:31.820 General Michael

00:38:32.480 Flynn.

00:38:32.880 You tried

00:38:33.140 to destroy

00:38:33.560 Donald Trump.

00:38:34.360 You tried

00:38:34.780 to bankrupt

00:38:35.220 him.

00:38:35.600 You tried

00:38:36.120 to keep

00:38:36.400 him off

00:38:36.740 the ballot.

00:38:37.520 You tried

00:38:37.820 to throw

00:38:38.160 him in

00:38:38.560 jail.

00:38:39.400 So the

00:38:40.300 fact that

00:38:40.640 we're now

00:38:40.960 going to

00:38:41.220 move from

00:38:41.860 a two-tier

00:38:43.520 justice system

00:38:44.320 to a one-tier

00:38:45.560 justice system

00:38:46.340 and recalibrate

00:38:47.620 the scales

00:38:48.160 of justice

00:38:48.820 so that

00:38:49.580 the crimes

00:38:50.300 of those

00:38:51.100 committed

00:38:51.820 during the

00:38:52.480 Biden

00:38:52.720 administration

00:38:53.240 are prosecuted,

00:38:55.060 this is not

00:38:55.640 about revenge.

00:38:58.200 It's not

00:38:58.440 about retribution.

00:38:59.740 It's about

00:39:00.260 rebalancing

00:39:00.920 those scales

00:39:01.720 of justice.

00:39:02.620 Justice is

00:39:03.240 coming.

00:39:03.980 You can

00:39:04.380 bet on it.

00:40:20.060 The most wonderful

00:40:21.740 starts at Simons.

00:40:25.780 You've seen Kelowna

00:40:26.480 change over the

00:40:27.960 growing faster than

00:40:29.080 ever.

00:40:29.940 The city is working

00:40:30.700 to make sure enough

00:40:32.340 built for people of

00:40:33.500 all incomes and

00:40:34.680 stages of life.

00:40:35.880 But growth isn't

00:40:36.740 just about more
