The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:11.240
Well, the conventional wisdom holds that Democrat nominee Zoran Mandami,
00:00:17.620
who I refer to as the Ayatollah, is the odds on favor to become the next mayor of the Big Apple,
00:00:23.580
as long as the opposition is split between former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo,
00:00:29.940
now running as an independent, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa,
00:00:34.620
and current incumbent mayor Eric Adams, also running as an independent.
00:00:39.940
But the New York Times had a story today that at first blush seems to be big news,
00:00:46.600
but which upon closer examination seems to say nothing at all.
00:00:51.120
The New York Times reports that people at the highest level of the Trump administration
00:00:56.120
are considering offering Mayor Eric Adams a job in the federal government
00:01:05.740
It further says that they are considering making a similar job offer to Curtis Sliwa,
00:01:13.500
First of all, of course, what the New York Times doesn't say is that such an offer
00:01:21.820
I can tell you, because I'm in Washington, D.C., and I checked with individuals at the highest
00:01:28.120
level of the Trump administration, that no such offer has been made to Mayor Adams,
00:01:37.220
Actually, I reached out to Curtis Sliwa, who released the following statement.
00:01:41.900
The only job I'm interested in is in being the next mayor of New York City.
00:01:49.280
and I'm not interested in a job with the White House.
00:01:52.680
My focus is right here in New York City, as it has always been.
00:01:56.480
I'm the only candidate on a major party line who can defeat Ma'am Donnie,
00:02:01.740
and I'm committed to carrying this fight all the way to Election Day.
00:02:06.200
The people of New York City observe a mayor who will finally make the city work
00:02:13.380
This is a distraction from the issues forcing New Yorkers to flee every single day.
00:02:22.760
You'll notice the story does not say that Eric Adams was offered a job.
00:02:28.820
Well, then Politico and their reporter Nick Reisman reported that the Trump administration
00:02:36.140
had offered Eric Adams a job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
00:02:49.220
At one point, he actually wrote a story which said that I had been –
00:02:53.720
I had my prison sentence commuted, but when I contacted him,
00:02:58.660
he refused to accurately report that I received a full and unconditional presidential pardon
00:03:05.340
when President Trump put out a statement saying, well, that I had done nothing wrong.
00:03:11.080
Once again, this is how political rumors start,
00:03:14.040
but you get the stone-cold truth right here in the stone zone.
00:03:19.440
Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration
00:03:23.200
from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal aliens
00:03:27.700
believed to be part of the infamous Venezuelan Tren de Agua gang.
00:03:33.420
Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham dissented with the majority ruling, stating that,
00:03:39.480
quote, every president of every political party has enjoyed the same broad powers
00:03:45.300
to repel threats to our nation under the Alien Enemies Act throughout previous administrations.
00:03:52.460
Once again, this ridiculous ruling will likely be appealed
00:03:56.200
and taken all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it will once again be reversed.
00:04:02.820
Liberal activist judges can only delay the inevitable for so long.
00:04:07.140
Violent, illegal aliens are going to be sent back to where they belong or imprisoned.
00:04:13.120
The days when liberal special interests like the ACLU can hold our nation hostage
00:04:21.540
Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee, controlled by Republicans,
00:04:25.700
has released over 33,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein
00:04:33.120
who was complying with subpoena with the committee chairman, James Comer.
00:04:38.180
Comer said that more documents are set to be released after redactions
00:04:41.960
to protect the privacy of some of Epstein's victims.
00:04:46.820
I say yet again that it was the Trump administration
00:04:52.780
that charged Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 with child sex trafficking
00:04:57.540
and a second charge of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking.
00:05:03.000
But there is no question that there was a massive cover-up
00:05:06.860
of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes in Florida in 2004 and 5.
00:05:12.740
Now we're told that Robert Mueller, who was then the FBI director,
00:05:18.240
declines to testify and to answer a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee
00:05:23.200
as to why the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney Albert Acosta
00:05:34.060
this was during the George W. Bush administration,
00:05:43.100
conducted a six-month undercover investigation into Epstein
00:05:47.960
and turned over to the state's attorney, that's a state official,
00:05:55.140
a rock-solid case of child sex trafficking involving 33 underage girls.
00:06:01.920
We also know that he turned over a case involving at least 22 underage girls
00:06:10.560
Yet after Epstein hired Alan Dershowitz, Roy Black, Gerald Lefkort,
00:06:17.480
and other prominent criminal defense attorneys, including Ken Starr,
00:06:22.080
who had been the special counsel on the Whitewater matter,
00:06:26.660
the local prosecutor decided to charge Epstein with one count of solicitation.
00:06:34.260
That's like walking into a bar and trying to pick up a hooker.
00:06:37.140
Only when the police chief objected did the state prosecutor bump that charge
00:06:42.860
up to one count of solicitation of a minor, a more serious charge,
00:06:48.240
but not nearly as serious as child sex trafficking.
00:06:55.260
Between the time that Epstein was charged and the time he pled guilty,
00:07:00.980
he made a $25,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation.
00:07:05.380
And then, of course, Epstein ended up fulfilling his term,
00:07:11.240
serving his term, not in the Florida State Penitentiaries,
00:07:16.700
but in the air-conditioned confines of the Palm Beach County Jail.
00:07:25.180
At the time, the U.S. attorney, Alberto Acosta,
00:07:29.220
Alexander Acosta, pardon me, was approached by the police chief,
00:07:34.600
Michael Ryder, who complained that the case had either been fixed
00:07:39.080
because the state prosecutor had either been compromised
00:08:06.520
This would lead one to believe that Jeffrey Epstein
00:08:29.300
after news of his involvement in the Epstein case came to light,
00:08:55.380
when he was appointed to the position of Labor Secretary.
00:09:16.100
That the Central Intelligence Agency contacted me,
00:09:35.160
stated that he did not appear to be an immediate threat
00:09:45.140
about his elite pedophile sex trafficking operation.
00:09:53.740
one of the most respected pathologists in the country,
00:10:02.580
and he reported that the injuries sustained by Epstein
