00:00:58.620 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative
00:01:04.600 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:01:17.720 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:01:21.360 People love him and respect him.
00:01:22.720 Roger Stone.
00:01:23.920 Now, get him a zone.
00:01:25.740 It's the Stone Zone.
00:01:27.180 You are now entering the Stone Zone.
00:01:33.820 Yesterday I reported to you about a brewing political scandal in the Sunshine State
00:01:39.560 where there's an extraordinarily and surprisingly close race for governor.
00:01:45.920 To summarize this scandal, Governor Ron DeSantis and his then Chief of Staff,
00:01:52.020 now the state's attorney general, James Uthmeyer, essentially diverted $10 million in taxpayer
00:01:59.240 Medicaid funds from the state system and moved it to a dark money political committee, which they
00:02:07.920 used to fight the constitutional amendment that was on the ballot that would have legalized
00:02:13.940 marijuana. This is both a state and federal crime. When this was learned, the state legislature
00:02:21.840 held legislatures which were very revelatory but for reasons that have never been explained
00:02:27.960 neither of the DeSantis's was brought up on federal charges and a state grand jury in Orlando
00:02:35.740 County studied the issue but then strangely issued a presentment which is like a statement of fact
00:02:43.520 which did say that the money was misappropriated but not a criminal indictment. Unfortunately that
00:02:51.600 That grand jury document, which was sealed, so the American people, meaning the voters, would not know what transpired, leaked and was widely reported in the media.
00:03:02.300 Now the Democrat Party has made a television commercial that explains all of the facts, and the Republicans have moved aggressively in court, threatening the Democrat Party and television stations that have the courage to take their money.
00:03:19.540 These are not sealed documents.
00:03:21.640 They're in the public domain.
00:03:23.380 And by the way, there is no dispute of the facts as I stated them.
00:03:28.020 Other than to say, when asked about this, Ron DeSantis said, don't ask me.
00:03:33.340 It's her project, referring to his wife, Casey DeSantis, even though on paper, of course, that's not true.
00:03:41.200 It's their foundation.
00:03:42.840 And then secondarily, they have argued that the money they took was part of a fine that had been levied against one of the companies that was overcharging Medicaid.
00:03:55.220 Irrelevant, it was still taxpayer money.
00:03:57.920 It was still money within the system.
00:04:00.820 And it was earmarked for the poor, the elderly, and the handicapped.
00:04:05.420 This is the brewing scandal that could have some effect on what happens in the November elections.
00:04:13.580 Byron Donald, the Republican nominee, who was an outsider, has no connection to this.
00:04:19.360 In fact, when reporters ask him about it, he refers them to Governor Ron DeSantis for answers.
00:04:25.740 So I don't think this has the potential to destroy the Republican campaign for the governor's race.
00:04:32.280 Yet Uthmeyer, who was, again, DeSantis' chief of staff, now the appointed attorney general,
00:04:39.300 and strangely enough, Ashley Moody, who was then the Florida state attorney general,
00:04:44.440 but was ultimately appointed to the U.S. Senate.
00:04:47.300 She approved the deal.
00:04:49.140 They are both on the ballot this November.
00:04:52.140 I report all this to prove once again that we here in the Stone Zone are not partisans.
00:04:57.760 We criticize Republicans and Democrats, but in this case, I have a special, shall we say, not obsession, but interest in Ron DeSantis.
00:05:08.480 He was a little-known congressman in single digits in the polls.
00:05:13.080 His campaign coffers empty when Donald Trump breathed political life into his future, catapulting him to the nomination for the governorship.
00:05:23.320 And then, in all honesty, Ron DeSantis was such a poor candidate that President Donald Trump had to change his schedule three times to visit Florida in the closing days of 2018 to literally drag Ron DeSantis, who is personality challenged, over the finish line.
00:05:42.180 So he's already proven his lack of loyalty. Now, this is an example of why the number one issue in the state of Florida and across the country, even above some of the economic issues, is corruption in government.
00:05:57.200 Meanwhile, the feds now say that they have DNA evidence that could prove that Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud by marrying her own brother.
00:06:07.340 No, I'm not kidding. Federal investigators possess DNA evidence they believe can establish whether
00:06:15.340 Representative Ilhan Omar's former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her biological brother,
00:06:23.780 according to sources familiar with the investigation. Omar married Elmi in 2009,
00:06:30.240 but the couple separated in 2011 and divorced in 2017. The allegation, long circulated,
00:06:38.700 long denied, but not long actually formally investigated, is that the marriage was arranged
00:06:44.560 to help Elmi obtain immigration benefits. The Stone Zone has compiled a complete wealth of
00:06:51.360 evidence showing this to be, in fact, the case. It's been ignored until now, but now the Trump
00:06:57.800 administration has amassed DNA, government records, and whistleblower fraud conspiracy
00:07:04.340 evidence that would form the basis for a charge that could be presented then to a grand jury.
00:07:11.300 A search of Omar's Washington residence occurred earlier this month. The people at CNN had their
00:07:17.560 panties in a twist. They didn't seem to be too interested when 29 FBI agents stormed my home
00:07:24.060 at 6 o'clock in the morning to arrest me for the first time, nonviolent process crime of allegedly 0.85
00:07:32.160 lying to Congress, for which I would certainly have turned myself in in order to face the Soviet
00:07:38.760 style show trial that went down subsequently. As most people know, I received a full and
00:07:45.300 unconditional presidential pardon from President Donald Trump when he figured out that they were
00:07:50.680 only prosecuting me in an effort to pressure me into bearing false witness against him,
00:07:56.580 something to this day I have no regrets about refusing to do. In this case, however,
00:08:05.200 a search of Omar's Washington residence occurred with the order of a federal judge. Now,
00:08:11.540 no indictment has been announced, but one is now expected to come. Omar is about to be exposed
00:08:17.600 as a Somali swindler that so many of her colleagues who were dumped on us from the third world have 1.00
00:08:23.220 proven to be. Hundreds have already been convicted. Omar thought she could lie her way out of it, 0.98
00:08:30.120 pulling the diversity card, and that would be her past to avoid culpability. By her own reports,
00:08:36.640 her net worth and that of her husband, who she recently shed—pardon me, I confuse her with
00:08:44.740 AOC, that those of her and her husband have skyrocketed into the millions. My question is
00:08:52.600 an obvious one. These are not bookkeeping errors. Where did this wealth come from? So this would not
00:08:59.300 only mean the end of her congressional career, but theoretically her removal from the country. 0.99
00:09:04.040 It would also show that every foreigner in this country must understand that if they humiliate us 1.00
00:09:11.000 and rob us and blind us, they have another thing coming. 0.97
00:09:14.640 This is, without any question, a story of justice, a story of accountability.
00:09:20.580 No, it's not about revenge and retaliation or the fact that Omar is a vocal critic of
00:09:27.260 the Trump administration and capitalism in America in general.
00:09:31.200 It has to do with the law and the Constitution.
00:09:34.920 In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees earn an average of over $26 an hour.
00:09:44.480 Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields like software development and information technology.

00:10:04.920 Meanwhile, President Trump has said Monday that he is willing to join a trilateral meeting that will include Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and of course himself.
00:10:18.100 Notably absent, of course, is the president of Ukraine, Zelensky. President Volodymyr Zelensky, I believe, overplayed his hand very badly.
00:10:32.060 Only yesterday, I publicly published a long page arguing that it is well past the time for us to cut Zelensky and the Ukrainian war effort off.
00:10:44.120 They have burned through billions of American dollars with no chance of victory in sight. 0.86
00:10:49.620 Much of that money has been boosted, as the people in New York might say, and cannot be accounted for.
00:10:56.500 And then when the president put together a fragile Ukrainian-Russian peace agreement, pardon me, energy agreement, saying that each side would not bomb the refining capabilities or energy producing capabilities of the other, within hours, Ukraine violated that agreement.
00:11:18.300 President Trump had negotiated a very good deal with Russia to release diesel to the world markets, not just the United States, but others.
00:11:27.120 But here in the United States, where high diesel prices are hurting farmers, families, businesses, and, of course, driving up the cost also of goods,
00:11:38.020 he broke what was very carefully put together democracy that would have helped the United States.
00:11:44.760 Most of the money we give, Zelensky's probably going up his nose.
00:11:49.060 There is certainly firsthand evidence of that if one has eyes.
00:11:53.960 And his NATO enablers prop him up because, A, they still don't pay their fair share for the defense of Ukraine.
00:12:02.140 And, B, I think they're involved, of course, in this network of corruption.
00:12:06.660 Through NATO, they should all get millions of dollars to, quote, unquote, rebuild their military,
00:12:12.100 which is ironic. While this is happening, while France is burning, where the Conservative
00:12:18.620 Nationalist Party is gaining because of the dysfunction and poor management of Germany,
00:12:25.300 there are mass riots now spreading to Italy. UK is a disaster where 69,000 people have been
00:12:34.240 arrested for things they posted on the internet. The cradle of First Amendment right to free
00:12:43.840 speech, or I should say the concept of free speech, the Magna Carta, England, free speech is no longer
00:12:50.180 allowed. And the thought police will arrest you if you criticize radical Islam. The world has
00:12:56.640 turned upside down. But it's time to end Zelensky's grift. And it's pretty clear the president is 0.98
00:13:03.260 prepared to do that. The president noted that Russia had been fine on Ukraine, meaning Russia
00:13:09.360 has been more inducive to making a peace deal, while emphasizing that any summit would have to
00:13:14.460 address nuclear weapons. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zlemensky has not been included in this
00:13:19.920 interesting and proposed format. The comments came after reports that Putin himself had floated the
00:13:26.740 idea of talks on the sidelines in next month's APEC summit in China. This idea sounds precisely 0.97
00:13:35.700 because Zelensky has positioned himself as the obstacle to ending this war. That's why I wrote 0.94
00:13:41.460 yesterday it's time to cut him off. By the way, those who say it's about democracy, I want to
00:13:46.580 remind them there are no elections that are allowed in Ukraine. Zelensky has outlawed every
00:13:52.920 political party but his. Journalists who report for television, radio, or print have been
00:14:01.900 imprisoned. Churches have been outlawed, including the largest church in the country.
00:14:08.020 Priests are arrested and harassed. Does this sound like democracy to you? It's over for Zelensky. He
00:14:16.680 needs to recognize this. This idea is intriguing that the three world's superpowers can join
00:14:24.340 together to try to end the killing. This is really about ending the killing. It's also
00:14:31.360 interested that this came right after Zelensky insulted President Trump, basically physically
00:14:37.660 thumbing his nose at Trump after violating the energy ceasefire. Nobody's arguing that P or
00:14:45.280 Xi, but Putin or Xi are good guys, by the way. I know many will attack me as a Russophile.
00:14:51.360 Let me remind you, I had direct members of my family mowed down by Russian tanks in Budapest
00:14:57.600 in 1956. This isn't tilting towards Russia. This is about ending the killing. I'm Roger Stone. 0.73
00:15:05.120 You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.
00:15:08.680 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:15:12.040 He likes politics, and he's a professional at the highest level.
00:15:16.740 Roger Stone.
00:15:17.800 Where's Roger?
00:15:37.240 This is the Stone Zone.
00:15:39.740 Now, get in the zone.
00:15:41.380 It's the Stone Zone.
00:15:43.620 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.
00:15:50.600 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:15:53.020 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:15:55.280 Here's Roger Stone.
00:15:58.060 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
00:16:00.340 Here in the Stone Zone, we follow politics and we follow it everywhere.
00:16:03.900 Following this very hot story in Ohio's governor's race.
00:16:07.400 The governor's race in Ohio, as well as the U.S. Senate race, have proved to be much closer based on public polling than one would have thought.
00:16:15.560 Ohio has trended to be a redder state in more recent years, was once a toss-up state in the 70s, today solidly red.
00:16:24.940 A video circulating in the Ohio governor's race features Donna Arthur, the birth mother of Democrat nominee Amy Acton, stating that her daughter is a liar who cannot be trusted.
00:16:40.060 Arthur says Acton has fabricated elements of her upbringing, including the claim that she lived in a tent as a child and said that she needs help and cannot be trusted to govern.
00:16:51.240 The spot urges voters not to elect her.
00:16:54.420 Acton's brother, Philip Stearns, responded by accusing the campaign of her opponent, of course,
00:17:00.120 pro-MAGA Republican Vivak Ramaswamy, of turning family trauma into political weapon.
00:17:07.200 He stated that his birth mother remained married to the stepfather who was arrested for sexually
00:17:11.540 abusing Acton when she was 12, even after the child had been removed from the household
00:17:17.680 and stayed with him until his death.
00:17:23.200 To me, that seems like a poor explanation.
00:17:26.620 Acton has previously described a childhood that included parental divorce, frequent moves, periods without heat, neglect, and at least one winter spent in a tent at a campground.
00:17:37.800 She said that the abuse and the subsequent removal shaped her decision to become a physician.
00:17:43.760 This was the backstory she'd used to build a political career.
00:17:47.280 Turns out she's been lying for personal gain.
00:17:50.280 Well, it would be the first time Democrats would do so.
00:17:52.720 Remember Senator Elizabeth Foucahontas Warren's supposed Indian heritage?
00:17:59.920 President Trump, I think the Boston Herald columnist was first come up with this name.
00:18:06.920 It's actually Foucahontas, F-A-U-X-C-A-H-O-N-T-A-S, fake Indian.
00:18:14.720 That was bastardized by President Trump into Foucahontas, which makes the same point,
00:18:20.740 which is that elitist and now a multimillionaire Elizabeth Warren lied about her heritage in order to get a scholarship, a leg up at Harvard.
00:18:32.960 These are the kind of people you want representing you in Congress. 0.77
00:18:37.060 It's hysterical to watch Elizabeth Warren tangle with the Secretary of Interior, Scott Besson, one of the smartest guys I know.
00:18:47.440 Warren shows again and again and again, she knows nothing whatsoever about elementary economics or the world credit markets or any other financial issue.
00:18:58.340 But I can't forget the time she made a TV video in which she was attempting to sound like a regular person.
00:19:04.860 And she turned to her husband and said, hold on a second.
00:19:07.840 I'm going to get me a beer.
00:19:10.120 This is somebody who went to Harvard.
00:19:11.520 I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back on the other side with more politics. The Social Security Administration has now completed the single largest record cleanup in agency history, and that may very well have an impact on the 2026 elections. I'm Roger Stone. Don't go away. We'll be right back.
00:19:41.520 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone a man who's gone through hell
00:19:54.600 but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him not everybody but
00:20:00.900 people love him and respect him roger stone where's roger stone here's roger stone
00:20:06.420 Welcome back into the Stone Zone. I'm your host, Roger Stone.
00:20:11.580 We're about to see in these closing days the advantages of having the bully pulpit of the United States of America.
00:20:19.380 Farmers across America will soon get relief from the cost of diesel, President Donald Trump said during a rally near Wichita, Kansas, on Monday evening, reported on CBS News television.
00:20:31.740 The president, who has been rallying Americans to vote in the crucial midterm elections, made an announcement to a packed house.
00:20:39.100 Tonight, I'm pleased to announce that the Department of Agriculture will be launching a new harvest fuel relief program,
00:20:44.920 providing our farmers with $8 billion in support to offset diesel costs during the harvest season.
00:20:51.880 And Senator Roger Marshall is the leader who fought for this to make this happen.
00:20:56.640 Roger got it to happen. Good job, Roger.
00:20:58.880 I like Senator Roger Marshall, particularly his first name.
00:21:03.160 Senator Roger Marshall, of course, is running against Democrat Adam Hamilton in the U.S. Senate race.
00:21:09.080 And the race is closer than one one might expect in blue Kansas.
00:21:13.920 Pardon me, red Kansas, I misspoke.
00:21:16.720 And when the Republicans win, we'll pass even more funding to our farmers, said the president.
00:21:21.340 We love our farmers.
00:21:22.420 Remember, I just gave farmers $12 billion in my first term.
00:21:26.580 I gave them $28 billion, if you remember, after that.
00:21:31.300 This came out of the tariff money from China when China finally paid its fair share, said the president.
00:21:38.040 U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Collins highlighted President Trump's announcement in social media posts
00:21:44.480 and also pointed to the work the administration was doing to help farmers.
00:21:49.520 Our farmers aren't just growing crops, the president says.
00:21:52.040 They're caring for the way of life on faith, family, hard work, and freedom.
00:21:57.240 That legacy is worth fighting for.
00:22:00.120 This is actually Brooke Rollins, the Secretary of Agriculture.
00:22:03.400 Under President Donald Trump, she correctly says,
00:22:05.960 the U.S. Department of Agriculture will always have the backs of the American people.
00:22:10.340 God bless Kansas and the farmers and rangers who keep America strong.
00:22:14.360 Folks, watch Kansas on election night.
00:22:17.840 It will be one of the crucial states in terms of control of the Senate.
00:22:24.700 Meanwhile, the Social Security Administration announced that it had corrected records covering over 15 percent of all active Social Security numbers, roughly 50 million files out of about 330 million belonging to U.S. citizens.
00:22:39.400 The work described by the agency as the most comprehensive cleanup in its 91 history included the addition of 17 million missing dates of death drawn from internal systems and State Department data.
00:22:54.260 You see, no one ever thought previously about taking the list of computerized list of those on Social Security and comparing it to the list of those who had passed, which, of course, has to be registered with the government.
00:23:08.320 Now the Trump administration is doing that.
00:23:12.000 Using information from Homeland Security's Save Service, the agency updated roughly 25 million records of people who lacked citizenship information
00:23:21.160 and is correcting an additional 8.5 records that contain inaccurate or incomplete citizenship status.
00:23:29.780 Stronger internal controls have been added to reduce the future errors from manual entry.
00:23:36.940 We're finally cleaning these systems up.
00:23:40.200 Accurate Social Security numbers are the foundation of identity air verification across federal and state benefit programs,
00:23:47.620 although it is important to note that Real ID is replacing everything.
00:23:53.540 As of today, one can no longer get on an aircraft simply by using their driver's license as identification.
00:24:01.280 Today, they're required to have a passport or a Real ID.
00:24:05.520 If one does not have real ID or a passport, one is not allowed to fly.
00:24:11.980 If you're traveling for the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays or the Christmas holidays, you may want to keep this in mind.
00:24:20.700 Missing death dates and citizenship data create opportunities for millions of dollars of improper payments
00:24:28.500 that continue long after the legitimate receipt was gone or was never even eligible for those benefits from the beginning.
00:24:37.460 The scale of the corrections indicates that the database had accumulated substantial gaps over the course of many decades.
00:24:45.320 By systematically filling those gaps, the agency reduces the volume of fraud or erroneous claims that would otherwise dry down the trust fund.
00:24:55.740 That's money that people like you paid into.
00:24:59.000 This is how to keep the progress sovereign for generations to come without raising taxes.
00:25:04.500 President Trump's big, beautiful bill cut the taxes on Social Security benefits for 88 percent of Americans.
00:25:11.320 The Trump administration is showing young workers between this and their Trump accounts programs that the government is doing right by them to make the benefits persistent until they reach entire retirement age.
00:25:25.640 Meanwhile, as I say, the Trump administration has launched this $8 billion harvest fuel relief program, which I think is going to be significant in our upcoming elections.
00:25:40.280 Evidently, an apparent by CNN, the BBC and others, they are trying to depict the riots that are sweeping Paris as, quote, mostly peaceful.
00:25:53.080 Social media users, quick to mock the British public broadcaster for doing the thing after a report from Paris correspondent and former professional rugby player James Waterhouse,
00:26:04.040 said in a televised report that the supposed protests over education and cost of living
00:26:09.380 concerns were mostly peaceful. This is, at the same time, footage can be seen of Ryers rocking
00:26:16.600 over and setting cars on fire, smashing store windows, smashing car windows, and physically 0.53
00:26:24.100 attacking the police. No, you can't make this stuff up. Waterhouse claimed the protests were
00:26:30.900 hijacked by an opportunist minority who came in and sought to rob and cause carnage.
00:26:36.880 Now, let's remember, at the beginning of these riots, they told us they were limited to students
00:26:40.740 who were protesting the lack of the number of teachers and the lack of textbooks.
00:26:47.620 None of that was true.
00:26:49.840 However, the French government has largely contradicted this more recent account
00:26:54.820 with the Interior Minister, Laurent Nunes, saying on Saturday
00:26:59.180 said that the violence started right from the beginning of the demonstrations.
00:27:03.280 Therefore, the demonstrations were not hijacked by a Marxist clique,
00:27:07.520 unlike other protests where opportunities typically wait until the end to engage in violence.
00:27:14.020 That's where legitimate protests, public protests, are taken over by radicals
00:27:18.840 who seek to use them for their own purposes, very much like the Black Lives Matter riots.
00:27:24.260 The riots saw at least 2,400 people in France arrested, over 1,000 police and firefighters injured, the mass looting of more than 3,000 businesses, and arson attacks on government buildings, including fire that largely destroyed the historic 140-year-old city hall in Limoges, France.
00:27:46.580 The seeming attempt to downplay this destruction by the BBC
00:27:50.900 Drew comparisons to the infamous 2020 appointing of C&C
00:27:55.200 In which correspondence in standing in front of a building set
00:27:58.400 A fire by Black Lives Matter writers in Kenosha
00:28:02.080 Was captioned with the Chiron
00:28:04.020 Fiery lit but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting
00:28:08.960 This is why I don't get my news from CNN
00:28:11.480 For the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet
00:28:15.020 But commenting on the public broadcaster's report, Reform UK deputy leader, that is the independent party run by our friend Nigel Farage, deputy leader Richard Tice said the BBC is broken, calling the riots in France mostly peaceful, tells you everything you need to know.
00:28:37.820 The Reform Party will scrap this TV's license.
00:28:41.540 This is heading into a crucial British election.
00:28:45.800 In Britain, unfortunately, the Tory party, the Conservative Party, very much like the old Republican Party prior to Donald Trump,
00:28:54.540 has been hijacked by the same globalists and neocons as the old Republican Party before Trump.
00:29:01.760 So the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, Labour Party actually, of Britain are essentially the same.
00:29:10.460 The only real offer of difference, a new agenda is being put forward by Nigel Farage's Reform Party,
00:29:18.900 who has made some consistent gains in the by-elections, those are special elections, for seats in their parliament.
00:29:26.720 Not to be outdone in this particular case, BBC's primary private competitor, Sky News, seemingly sought to tie the riots to far-right activists abroad, posting clips of the mayhem online.
00:29:41.440 This is kind of like saying, well, the attack on Benghazi was caused because somebody showed a video in a country where 90% of the people aren't on the Internet, which upset radical Islam, who then attacked and killed 13 Americans in Benghazi.
00:30:00.340 Complete and total horse pucky, as they used to say when I was growing up.
00:30:05.540 In a report published on Sunday's Sky News, Tom Cheshire, who is one of their talking heads, said that a lot of the protests are taking place in multicultural cities.
00:30:19.180 This is a broad alliance across the left, united especially by economic distin.
00:30:24.440 That, in turn, amplified online what conservative activists like Tommy Robinson have been saying.
00:30:31.400 These are French protesters.
00:30:33.220 They want to turn this into a European, even a civilization issue.
00:30:37.960 Just as we see the far left back co-opting protests started by students,
00:30:42.580 the far right has a wider tactic of causing shocking scenes to amplify division by making immigration the sole focus.
00:30:50.980 Could we think about this for a moment?
00:30:52.980 He says the problem is caused by people seeing videos online of what's really happening in the streets of France.
00:31:00.820 That is essentially what he's trying to say.
00:31:03.920 This fits the definition of insanity, in my opinion.
00:31:09.220 While some, including the French president, Emmanuel Macron,
00:31:12.200 have attempted to draw a distinction between supposed peaceful protests and their riots,
00:31:17.860 others have said that they should not have been seen as separate,
00:31:21.660 arguing that they are two sides of the same coin.
00:31:24.480 Macron and his wife were criticized by attending a Celine Dion concert while the cities of France burned.
00:31:36.400 That's a whole different question.
00:31:38.280 The French member of European Parliament, Marion Marchal, told broadcasters on BTM-TV that she now creates peaceful demonstrations with rioters because they marched behind the LFI presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, because he's never condemned this violence and encouraged it.
00:32:00.380 Marshall said she refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the protest, which she claimed to be about educational funding, lack of textbooks, lack of teachers, or the cost of living, which was permanently featured, of course, on all of the Antifa slogans or of the banners they were holding that said ACAB,
00:32:25.320 B, which means all cops are, well, I can't say the last word that ends with B in a family
00:32:31.340 program, but you can figure it out.
00:32:34.300 She said to the far left, process violence is not collateral damage, whether the future
00:32:39.020 of the struggle, saying it's doctrine, and that Jean-Luc Mélenchon himself says that
00:32:45.420 everything must be confrontational.
00:32:48.180 So when the mayor of the city of Bally, Bayago, says that violence can be legitimate, we have
00:32:54.740 a very serious problem. It's very clear to me when I was targeted by the vicious Russiagate hoax by
00:33:02.500 Robert Mueller and his team of thugs, the mainstream media ran near wall-to-war cover against me,
00:33:08.840 falsifying the record, lying about my trial, lying about the evidence, minimizing those rare
00:33:15.740 instances in which the judge allowed me any effort whatsoever to defend myself and slandering me.
00:33:22.180 Under the unconditional gag put in place by the judge in my case, I was unable to respond as my name was continually dragged through the mud and my career as an America first political operative working with Presidents Nixon, President Reagan and President Trump to save this country were portrayed as that of a traitorous Russian asset.
00:33:43.060 It's all fake news then, and it's fake news now.
00:33:47.380 The BBC's reporting of these French riots not only shows yet again
00:33:50.860 why the mainstream media is no longer trusted or believed by the American people.
00:33:56.820 When we come back, First Lady Melania Trump championships the new U.S. Women's Health Initiative.
00:34:04.380 This is an important new issue by the most gracious and incredible First Lady in American history.
00:34:10.600 I've known Melania Trump before she and Donald Trump were married, even when they were dating and before she was, they were engaged.
00:34:19.720 She is one of the most gracious, cultured, kindest, quietest, but most effective first lady in American history.
00:34:29.180 She's an extraordinary mother and she's an extraordinary woman.
00:34:32.680 The fact that she's never been on the cover of Vogue on Michelle Obama, has been on several times, is in fact a joke.
00:34:41.260 When we come back, we're going to talk about First Lady Melania Trump's new initiative.
00:34:45.200 So please don't go away.
00:34:47.660 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
00:34:51.320 He likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level.
00:34:56.020 Roger Stone, who is Roger.
00:35:02.680 This is the Stone Zone.
00:35:20.060 Now, get him a zone.
00:35:21.980 It's the Stone Zone.
00:35:23.940 A man who's gone through hell,
00:35:25.680 but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong,
00:35:29.820 and people love him.
00:35:30.900 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:35:33.520 Roger Stone. Where's Roger Stone?
00:35:35.800 Here's Roger Stone.
00:35:38.340 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
00:35:40.860 I have had the privilege of knowing First Lady Melania Trump since before she and the Donald were engaged. 1.00
00:35:48.660 She is an extraordinary woman of high intelligence.
00:35:52.360 She speaks five languages. 0.87
00:35:54.160 She's extraordinarily cultured.
00:35:56.700 She's incredibly kind.
00:35:58.560 She is an excellent mother.
00:36:00.900 She probably doesn't love the political life, but she's completely and totally supportive of the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald Trump.
00:36:09.980 There have been attempts to malign her, most of them lies, but she's been on the front line, both in the effort to bring peace to the dispute between Ukraine and Russia,
00:36:23.380 where she has been helping children in that war, children damaged or injured in that war.
00:36:29.860 I wrote a long piece about this about a week ago.
00:36:32.560 She's now advancing a landmark program to improve women's health through an executive order that strengthens research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care for girls and women throughout every stage of their life. 0.50
00:36:46.700 Previous generations fought for women's rights.
00:36:49.040 Our generation will fight to discover the cures that will ensure a woman can live her life and health and to the fullest, First Lady Melania Trump said from the White House.
00:36:59.160 The executive order establishes a White House Women's Health Task Force and establishes a new women's health division within the National Institute of Health to accelerate scientific discoveries to improve women's health outcomes.
00:37:15.900 First Lady Melania Trump highlighted her First Lady's five pillars of women's health innovation.
00:37:22.720 They are, one, direct research funding towards finding cures that affect women in a unique way. 0.96
00:37:29.940 Two, superintelligence to enhance our insight of female biology and speed up medical discoveries.
00:37:38.060 Four, accelerate the process of getting promising therapeutics from laboratories to female patients while maintaining strict safety standards.
00:37:50.000 Four, ensure the medical breakthroughs are accessible and affordable to women regardless of their financial circumstances.
00:37:58.160 And lastly, five, replace generations of silence with open conversation, education, and compassion.
00:38:05.440 The Executive Order on Advancing Women's Health to Improve Outcomes in All Phases of Life, signed by President Donald Trump, also recognizes the importance of collaboration with the private sector in advancing new technologies and solutions for women's health.
00:38:23.500 Through these efforts, the Trump administration will work to ensure that American women have access to the highest quality, scientifically supported medical information and care while advancing new therapies, treatments and cures.
00:38:38.900 I've known First Lady Melania Trump for decades now, and I can tell you there has never been a First Lady in history who has more style, grace, or chic, or for whom I have greater respects.
00:38:54.300 I must say that I attended the wedding between Donald and Melania that took place at Christ Church in Bethesda.
00:39:04.880 I was driving a 1959 Jaguar Mark 9, which had a pretty high mileage.
00:39:11.880 And as we pulled up in front of the church, the car died and would not restart,
00:39:17.260 with a long line of cars behind me waiting to drop off dignitaries.
00:39:23.060 It was not one of the greater days, but it was a great wedding.
00:39:27.500 And I cannot tell you how outraged I am by the fact, once again, that Melania Trump has never appeared on the cover of Vogue.
00:39:36.300 When she's without question, not only one of the most intelligent and gracious First Ladies, but also without any question.
00:39:43.860 Having been on my international best dress list for multiple years,
00:39:49.040 I believe she has emeritus status, Hall of Fame status.
00:39:54.380 She deserves that honor, which unfortunately has gone to Michelle Obama
00:40:01.440 instead of the most gracious First Lady, the most chic First Lady since Jackie O.
00:40:07.920 Anyway, I'm Roger Stone. God bless you and Godspeed.
00:40:11.000 Thanks for joining us today on the Stone Zone until tomorrow when we meet again.
00:40:41.000 on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X.
00:40:44.460 See you next time for a new episode
00:40:46.380 so you never have to wonder.
00:40:48.320 What the heck is going on here?
