Speaker 1: This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone. People love
Speaker 1: him and respect him. Roger Stone.
Speaker 2: Now, jimim a zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Rogerstone.
Speaker 3: We are now entering the Stone Zone. I want to
Speaker 3: start the show by congratulating the Vista, New York Volunteer
Speaker 3: Fire Department on eighty five years of continuous service. Founded
Speaker 3: in nineteen forty one. My grandfather, my uncle, and my
Speaker 3: father all served as the voluntary chief of the Vista
Speaker 3: Volunteer Fire Department. My father was so proud of his
Speaker 3: service that we buried him in his chief's uniform. When
Speaker 3: my mother passed at age ninety one, she was the
Speaker 3: oldest living member of the women auxiliary of the Vista
Speaker 3: Volunteer Fire Department. So I congratulate you tonight on your tradition,
Speaker 3: your dedication, your commitment to community since nineteen forty one. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Mayor Zoram Mamdmi caught some real Italian heat today after
Speaker 3: releasing a map of the city's ethnic enclaves include thirty
Speaker 3: places like Little Palestine, but somehow left out Little Italy.
Speaker 3: The map, called New York's Immigrant Enclaves, highlighted thirty areas
Speaker 3: across the five boroughs ranging from Korea Town in Manhattan,
Speaker 3: Little Pakistan in Brooklyn, Little Yemen in the Bronx, but
Speaker 3: somehow left out little Italy. Mike Crispy of the Italian
Speaker 3: American Civil Rights League joins us later to talk about
Speaker 3: that outrage, but he correctly said, this is an attempt
Speaker 3: to erase Italian American culture. We'll get back to that
Speaker 3: a little later in the show. While President Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is taking the fight over birthright citizenship back to the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court. Birthright citizenship is of course ruling by the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court last week that said that if a child
Speaker 3: was born on US soil, despite the fact that the
Speaker 3: parents were not US citizens, they were automatically a US citizen.
Speaker 3: It is a substantial misreading of the fourteenth Amendment. And
Speaker 3: now President Trump is announced he will ask the High
Speaker 3: Court to rehear it based on new developments. They have
Speaker 3: moved to strike down his executive order restricting this automatic
Speaker 3: citizenship for people born in the United States to foreign nationals.
Speaker 3: The President pointed to reports of hospital billboards near the
Speaker 3: southern border and in Mexico advertising childbirth packages to foreign nationals.
Speaker 3: One South Texas hospital reportedly promoted deliveries starting at three
Speaker 3: nine hundred and fifty dollars for a natural birth five
Speaker 3: five hundred and twenty five for a c sector just
Speaker 3: miles from a US Mexico border crossing. In a truth
Speaker 3: post social President Trump warned the birthright citizenship is being
Speaker 3: marketed like a commercial service, with the American citizenship effectively
Speaker 3: being sold to anyone willing to pay for delivery inside
Speaker 3: the United States. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has already called
Speaker 3: for investigation into the Mission Regional Medical Center that has
Speaker 3: been doing this advertisement. Now, the hospital says the marketing
Speaker 3: materials are no longer in use and denies facilitating unlawful activity.
Speaker 3: But the larger problem here remains American citizenship should be
Speaker 3: a sacred national inheritance, not a loophole, not a tourist package,
Speaker 3: and not a business model for hospitals or immigration brokers.
Speaker 3: These misinterpreted rules have made a mockery of our constitution
Speaker 3: and have hastened the demographic demise of our country. President
Speaker 3: Trump is right for chase the Supreme Court for getting
Speaker 3: this wrong. Either America controls the means of citizenship or
Speaker 3: the Open Border's lobby turns it into another commodity for sale.
Speaker 3: President Trump should not stop until there's another hearing and
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court defends the rule of law against these
Speaker 3: illegal invaders. I think were the first on radio last
Speaker 3: night to report that Maine Democrat Graham Plattner has suspended
Speaker 3: his US Senate campaign after cascades of scandals became too
Speaker 3: much for even his own party to turn the blind
Speaker 3: eye towards. Plattner, who was once promoted as a left
Speaker 3: wing progressive challenger to veteran Republican Senator Susan Collins, faced
Speaker 3: growing pressure to quit after Politico published an account from
Speaker 3: his former girlfriend, one Jennifer Rascott, who alleged that he
Speaker 3: came to her home uninvited and he raped her. After
Speaker 3: that report, prominent leftist Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Focahont Warren,
Speaker 3: and Rocanna threw him under the bus completely. Another woman,
Speaker 3: Lindsay Fitfield, who previously made sexual misconduct allegations against Platner
Speaker 3: in The New York Times, has also come forward with
Speaker 3: additional accusations. Platner, of course denies all of these allegations,
Speaker 3: calling them not real, and says that he and his
Speaker 3: wife are regular people caught in a political takedown. In
Speaker 3: a Lately video, Platner refused to take any responsibility for
Speaker 3: his actions in still blaming the corporate instead blaming the
Speaker 3: corporate media and political establishment, arguing that the accusations should
Speaker 3: not be the beginning of a process, but the end
Speaker 3: of it. But the political reality is clear. Democrats, who
Speaker 3: lecture the country about morality, about women's rights, about how
Speaker 3: all women should be believed, and accountability, are now scrambling
Speaker 3: to replace a candidate they were prepared to elevate. They
Speaker 3: said that we must believe all women and now have
Speaker 3: to live up to those words. Platner insisted he could
Speaker 3: still beat Susan Collins, but he admitted that the fallout
Speaker 3: would make his campaign impossible to run. This leaves Maine
Speaker 3: Democrats scrambling to find a successor under a tight legal deadline,
Speaker 3: which I believe is by the twenty seventh. Even with
Speaker 3: Platner out of the picture, Democrats and Man will have
Speaker 3: a tough time in the midterms, as a fallout from
Speaker 3: the scandal will be sure to sully than in November.
Speaker 3: But Republicans should not take too much solace if we
Speaker 3: are going to hold Graham Platner accountable. Then we have
Speaker 3: to hold Congressman Corey Mills of Florida, a Republican accountable.
Speaker 3: There are at least two instances of women accusing him
Speaker 3: of violence. He has an outstanding warrant of protection issued
Speaker 3: by a Florida judge, so we must have one standard,
Speaker 3: not too Meanwhile, Patriot US Congressman from Tennessee Tim Burchett
Speaker 3: is demanding transparency and one of Washington's most sensitive unsolved
Speaker 3: cases that would be the twenty sixteen killing of Democrat
Speaker 3: National Committee staffer Seth Rich. Earlier this week, Burchett announced
Speaker 3: that he had formally asked the FBI director Cash Battel
Speaker 3: to release all FBI records related to Seth Rich's desk.
Speaker 3: His office has said plainly that the American people deserve
Speaker 3: answers now. Rich was only twenty seven years old when
Speaker 3: he was shot and killed while walking home in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C. In the early morning of July tenth, twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: Police called it a boxed robbery, but his ring, his watch,
Speaker 3: his cash, and his credit cards remained untouched, and the
Speaker 3: case remains unsolved nearly a decade later, amongst a bevy
Speaker 3: of questions that have never come close to being answered.
Speaker 3: Rich's death became the center of intense public speculation after
Speaker 3: claims emerged that he may have been connected to the
Speaker 3: elked Democrat National Committee emails published by Wiki Leaks. It
Speaker 3: was proven in my trial where the underlying thesis of
Speaker 3: the against me that I had lied under oath, when
Speaker 3: in fact no statement or misstatement I made was material
Speaker 3: because there was no Russian collusion to hide, and even
Speaker 3: Robert Muther admitted in his long redacted but finally released
Speaker 3: final report that he found no evidence whatsoever that I
Speaker 3: had received any materials from Wiki leaks. Rissys Desh became
Speaker 3: the center of the speculation. Those claims remain disputed, but
Speaker 3: what is not disputed now is the FBI's handling of
Speaker 3: the records and what transpires next. Attorney Ty Clevenger spent
Speaker 3: years fighting through Freedom of Information Act requests and attempt
Speaker 3: to get some semblance of transparency regarding this case. The
Speaker 3: FBI initially claimed it had no revelant records regarding Seth Rich,
Speaker 3: but later admitted it had more than twenty thousand pages
Speaker 3: of potentially revelent material, along with Rich's work laptop and
Speaker 3: an image of his personal laptop toorney Clevenger says more
Speaker 3: documents may have surfaced inside a previously concealed FBI room,
Speaker 3: though this has not been confirmed yet by the Bureau.
Speaker 3: Congressom Burchett will join us this Sunday on My show.
Speaker 3: The FBI must release all these documents. It's clear to
Speaker 3: anyone who's peered into the case of seth Rich that
Speaker 3: he was likely murdered, perhaps as another name on the
Speaker 3: infamous Clinton kill list. Once again, there is no evidence
Speaker 3: of an online act by the Democrat National Committee that
Speaker 3: was one of the central pieces of the Russian collusion narrative.
Speaker 3: This is an important case that we are going to
Speaker 3: continue to follow. Meanwhile, CNN's newsroom may be bracing for
Speaker 3: a major impact as Paramount prepares to take over Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3: Discovery is a one hundred one billion dollar deal, and
Speaker 3: the anxiety tells you everything. CNN's chief executive Mark Thompson
Speaker 3: recently told employees he could feel attention in the room
Speaker 3: as the network faces its third ownership shake up in
Speaker 3: three years now. Personally, I don't get my news from
Speaker 3: CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of
Speaker 3: the toilet. But roughly four thousand workers. Of course, CNN's
Speaker 3: global operations are waiting to see what the new bosses
Speaker 3: will do, with layoffs and major consolidation expected, But the
Speaker 3: real fear inside CNN is not economic. It's political. Staffers
Speaker 3: worry that Paramount CEO David Ellison may reshape the network,
Speaker 3: especially after President Trump and his allies openly welcome the
Speaker 3: new leadership at the left landing cable outlet, there may
Speaker 3: be a house cleaning that's in order, similar to what
Speaker 3: recently happened with CBS News. For years, CNN helped lead
Speaker 3: the corporate media's anti Trump crusade, lecturing Americans about democracy
Speaker 3: while bleeding viewers and trust. Now with Paramount also bringing
Speaker 3: CBS News under the same roof where veteran journalist Barry
Speaker 3: Weiss and the Free Press have already rattled the old guard,
Speaker 3: some insiders fear Weiss could eventually have influence over CNN
Speaker 3: and bulldoze the liberal status quo. There Others hope Thompson
Speaker 3: stays in charge and protect what he calls the network's
Speaker 3: credibility means protecting the liberals from true accountability, because in actuality,
Speaker 3: CNN has zero credibility, remaining millions of Americans stopped trusting
Speaker 3: CNN because they saw bias, double standard, and contempt for conservatives.
Speaker 3: All I can remember is that their camera was twenty
Speaker 3: five feet outside my front door that faithful twenty nineteen
Speaker 3: mourning in which twenty nine heavily armed FBI agents swarmed
Speaker 3: my home to arrest me for the first time nonviolent
Speaker 3: process crime of allegedly lying under oath to Congress. I
Speaker 3: claimed that never made any sense, because well, there was
Speaker 3: no Russian collusion to lie about, and as Robert Muller's
Speaker 3: final report admitted, they found no evidence that I'd received
Speaker 3: anything whatsoever from wiki leagues. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening
Speaker 3: to the Stone Zone. We're going to be following CNN's developments,
Speaker 3: and we're going to be following the seth Rich case
Speaker 3: very closely, because both of these, of course reflect back
Speaker 3: on the Russian collusion hoax. Meanwhile, we learned today that
Speaker 3: Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Arctic Frost investigation was
Speaker 3: actually mishandling classified and top secret information during the investigation,
Speaker 3: an investigation into what he said was President Donald Trump's
Speaker 3: misuse and mishandling of classified and top secret information. Hypocrisy
Speaker 3: much We'll be right back in the Stone Zone.
Speaker 1: This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
Speaker 3: He likes politics and he's a professional deek.
Speaker 4: At the highest level of Roger Stone.
Speaker 5: Who is Roger.
Speaker 2: This is the Stone Zone, Now get him his zone.
Speaker 2: It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 4: A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going
Speaker 4: and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
Speaker 4: Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
Speaker 1: Rogers Stone, where's Rogers? Here's Roger Stone.
Speaker 3: Welcome back into the Stone zone again. Mayor Zoran Mamdami
Speaker 3: kicked up a firestorm today by releasing a New York
Speaker 3: City immigrant enclave map which seems to hit every ethnic
Speaker 3: group across the city except for Italians, Irish and Jewish people.
Speaker 3: Mike Chrispy from the Italian American Civil Rights League joins
Speaker 3: us in just a few minutes to talk about this
Speaker 3: back that Italian's mecca, Little Italy, one of the most
Speaker 3: important places in the story of Italian immigration, was left
Speaker 3: off the mayor's map. Meanwhile, across the country, there's a
Speaker 3: populous backlash that's growing into these flock license plate reading cameras,
Speaker 3: and the backlash can is no longer theoretical. It can
Speaker 3: be declared a real thing. In Houston now, multiple cameras
Speaker 3: have been found cut down or knocked down, including near
Speaker 3: Washington Avenue Westcott Memorial Park. The police are investigating, while
Speaker 3: Flock the company, condemns the damages illegal vandalism. That is true,
Speaker 3: storing public equipment is not the answer, nor do we
Speaker 3: recommend it. But these are the sort of actions that
Speaker 3: become inevitable when the people's rights are being eviscerated. Flock
Speaker 3: cameras record license plates, vehicle details, and travel patterns. Then
Speaker 3: they store that data in searchable databases used by the police.
Speaker 3: Many question the constitutionality of this under the Fourth Amendment.
Speaker 3: Supporters say that the technology helps recover stolen cars, locate
Speaker 3: kidnapping victims, and solve violent crimes. But the cost is
Speaker 3: a surveillance grid that tracks ordinary Americans who haven't accused
Speaker 3: of any crime. In other words, we're being trading our
Speaker 3: essential liberty for the illusion of safety. This is exactly
Speaker 3: what the founding fathers warned us against. This is a
Speaker 3: fight nationwide. In Virginia, man faces multiple felony charges after
Speaker 3: allegedly damaging Flop cameras. Privacy advocates have donated to his
Speaker 3: legal defense. In Newport, residents packed a town hall to
Speaker 3: oppose keeping the cameras in place permanently. In Arlington, Virginia,
Speaker 3: cameras were spray painted, and Milwaukee, a detective has been
Speaker 3: charged with allegedly misusing flock data to attract people for
Speaker 3: his personal reasons. This is precisely our concern. Once government
Speaker 3: and private tech companies collude to build massive surveillance systems,
Speaker 3: the abuse is not hypothetical, just a matter of when
Speaker 3: and what to extend it occurs. We should always support
Speaker 3: law enforcement, and we don't advocate any action against the
Speaker 3: cameras that would be illegal, but we also demand constitutional limits, transparency,
Speaker 3: and warrants where it's appropriate. We need better trained police
Speaker 3: to stop crimes. We don't know police manpower placed by
Speaker 3: a surveillance camera system that spies on the American people.
Speaker 3: We must never accept any excuse it leads us to
Speaker 3: embrace big brother. So we'll be following this flock camera
Speaker 3: issue very closely. Once again coming up on the Stone
Speaker 3: Zone momentarily. May zoriin Maamdami has really kicked off quite
Speaker 3: a firestorm in his map, highlighting ethnic areas across the city,
Speaker 3: such as Korea Town, in Manhattan, Little Pakistan in Brooklyn,
Speaker 3: Little Yemen in the Bronx, but he left out Little
Speaker 3: Italy and that brought a stinging rebuke and a lot
Speaker 3: of activity online. This is not just pertaining to Italian Americans.
Speaker 3: It also pertains to a number of the other important
Speaker 3: ethnic enclaves within New York City. For example, Italians who
Speaker 3: lived in the Arthur Avenue with the Bronx, or benson
Speaker 3: Hurst in Brooklyn, or Howard Beach and Queens or Southern
Speaker 3: Staten Island. They're not on the Mayor's map. Then of
Speaker 3: course you have the Irish Americans, who still very prevalent
Speaker 3: in Woodlawn Heights in the Bronx for example, once known
Speaker 3: as Little Ireland, western portions of Rockaway Peninsula, and the
Speaker 3: Queens known as the Irish Riviera. To dress all of
Speaker 3: this coming up, Mike Christie joined us from the Italian
Speaker 3: American Civil Rights League. You're gonna want to hear that,
Speaker 3: so don't go away.
Speaker 2: This is the Stone Zone. Now get him a zone.
Speaker 2: It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 4: A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going,
Speaker 4: and he's smart, and he's strong, and.
Speaker 1: People love him. Not everybody, but people love him. And
Speaker 1: respect him. Rogers Stone, Where's Rogers? Here's Rogerstone.
Speaker 3: Welcome back into the Stone Zone. In a story that
Speaker 3: has kicked up more dust than anything I've seen in
Speaker 3: some time. Mayor Zorin Ma'amdami released a something he called
Speaker 3: New York City's Immigrant Enclave's Map Now. This map included
Speaker 3: Little Palestine in Manhattan, Korea Town in Manhattan, a Little
Speaker 3: Pakistan and Brooklyn, Little Yemen in the Bronx also included
Speaker 3: Little Africa, Little Poland. But one community that it did
Speaker 3: not recognize was the original Little Italy that brought an
Speaker 3: immediate rebuke from the Italian American Civil Rights League, and
Speaker 3: joining us now to discuss it is the chairman of
Speaker 3: that organization, Mike Crispy. Mike, Welcome into the Stone.
Speaker 5: Zone, Roger. Always an honor to be with you, sir,
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 3: Just reading from this statement that you put out earlier today,
Speaker 3: which got very wide circulation, you said, Little Italy is
Speaker 3: sacred ground. It is where Italian immigrants came with nothing,
Speaker 3: worked hard, open shops, raised families, built churches, fed the
Speaker 3: city and help New York City be what it is today.
Speaker 3: As you, I think correctly said This isn't about just
Speaker 3: being left out. This is a purposeful effort to erase
Speaker 3: the history of the Italian American community.
Speaker 5: So you say, perfectly, Roger, is that Italian Americans have
Speaker 5: been an instrumental part of New York City since the
Speaker 5: late eighteen hundreds, since the early nineteen hundreds. You know,
Speaker 5: we built the Empire State Building, we dug the subway system.
Speaker 5: We have been instrumental in our culture, our cuisine, our entertainment,
Speaker 5: our art. Everything of the Italian American culture has been
Speaker 5: woven into the New York City culture. And when our
Speaker 5: Italian ancestors came here, they did so wanting to become
Speaker 5: a part of America. They wanted to contribute to the
Speaker 5: greater good. They left their homeland, they came to New
Speaker 5: York City, they embraced American culture, they had American pride,
Speaker 5: they adopted American customs. And it is a shame that
Speaker 5: Zoran is doing what he's doing, and he hates Italian Americans,
Speaker 5: and he's acting like this because we stand for everything
Speaker 5: that he is against. That is coming to a place, assimilating,
Speaker 5: working hard, doing it the right way, not making excuses,
Speaker 5: not looking for handouts, and contributing and standing on your
Speaker 5: own two feet. That is the antithesis of what Zoron
Speaker 5: ran on and what he believes. And that is why
Speaker 5: Roger he very specifically, very deliberately left Little Italy off
Speaker 5: that map. He's been against the Italians multiple times. This
Speaker 5: is just yet another example of his treachery.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed that the well known writer and blogger
Speaker 3: Chris Ruffo, who's been in the Stone Zone, posted a
Speaker 3: picture of Zorim Mamdamie flipping the bird at the statue
Speaker 3: of Christopher Columbus in New York City, insisting that it
Speaker 3: be taken down. We've seen this across the country. It is,
Speaker 3: in my view, a willful effort to erase our culture,
Speaker 3: erase our history. When I say, are yes, I am
Speaker 3: half Italian, Italian and Hungarian, I'm Italian from the waist
Speaker 3: down and proud of it. This is exactly what is
Speaker 3: going on here. But it's not just Italians. That's what
Speaker 3: was interesting. Around eleven percent of New Yorkers today are
Speaker 3: Italian Americans, but over four million Italians immigrated to New
Speaker 3: York City between eighteen eighty and nineteen twenty. Little Italy,
Speaker 3: of course, is located in Manhattan. But you have other
Speaker 3: heavily Italian enclaves like Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, benson
Speaker 3: Hurst and Brooklyn, Howard Beach and Queens Southern Staten Island.
Speaker 3: None of them seem to be listed in the Mayor's map,
Speaker 3: but the neighborhood known as Little Palestine that's on the map.
Speaker 3: And then there are the Irish about four point four
Speaker 3: percent of New Yorkers New York City residents today, but
Speaker 3: two million Irish people immigrated to the United States between
Speaker 3: eighteen fifty one and eighteen sixty after the Great Potato Famine.
Speaker 3: And there are still major enclaves of Italian Americans, Lon
Speaker 3: Heights in the Bronx, which is once known as Little Ireland,
Speaker 3: and the western portion of Rockaway Peninsula and Queens known
Speaker 3: then as the Irish Riviera. Notice that they're also missing here,
Speaker 3: So I think there's something larger here at foot. And
Speaker 3: there's no mention whatsoever of the Jewish neighborhoods in the
Speaker 3: shib This is part of that larger effort to erase
Speaker 3: us as a people.
Speaker 5: Yes, Roger, I mean you pointed out perfectly are the
Speaker 5: groups who have contributed to New York City historically are
Speaker 5: the ones that he's leaving out, and these third worldiest
Speaker 5: groups that he is highlighting in this enclave immigrant map.
Speaker 5: You know, nobody's heard of Little Palestine, nobody's heard of
Speaker 5: Little Pakistan. But he points these out and he ignores
Speaker 5: other groups, and that is very deliberate. And the Christopher
Speaker 5: Columbus statue him flipping off the statue. It's amazing because
Speaker 5: Italian Americans take so much abuse for Christopher Columbus, and
Speaker 5: people are referencing with christ Or Columbus did in the
Speaker 5: year fourteen hundred and ninety two saying that he was
Speaker 5: a savage. Well, a lot of people were savages in
Speaker 5: fourteen hundred and ninety two. Nobody is arguing the tedious
Speaker 5: merits of other figures for other holidays. It only seems
Speaker 5: that Italian Americans come under fire for Christopher Columbus. The
Speaker 5: bottom line is that he is a symbol for our
Speaker 5: heritage and it is not up to other people to
Speaker 5: say that he needs to be removed. And Italian Americans
Speaker 5: need to comply with the will of Ugandans like Zoron Mandabi,
Speaker 5: who are telling us what our holidays should be named
Speaker 5: and should not If it was any other group other
Speaker 5: than Italians being told that it would be dismissed as
Speaker 5: racist out of pocket. But Zoron can do that to Italians,
Speaker 5: and he can, as you pointed out, Roger, ignore Irish people,
Speaker 5: Jewish people and other groups that have built New York
Speaker 5: City have done all the work. When embraced all of
Speaker 5: the things that have made New York New York, he's
Speaker 5: dismissing that he's whitewashing it. I look at his press conferences,
Speaker 5: I look at his televised events. The people around him
Speaker 5: all about a different the groups coming together, But it
Speaker 5: seems like he excludes specific groups and only has other
Speaker 5: specific groups, particularly Middle Eastern and African groups around him,
Speaker 5: and any other group to him is not acceptable. It's
Speaker 5: the most racist thing of all. Zorn is totally showing
Speaker 5: who he is whenever he does these things, and it's
Speaker 5: become such a demonstrable trend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lily is not just a memory or just a
Speaker 3: tourist stop. It remains a living center of Italian American culture.
Speaker 3: The feast of Saint Gernaro still brings generations together. The
Speaker 3: Italian American Museum preserves the stories of our families who
Speaker 3: came here John Viola's Red Sauce Studios telling American American
Speaker 3: story through modern media from Harvard Liley. Of course Baby
Speaker 3: John's favorite Canoli's and family businesses on Mowbray Seet. These
Speaker 3: are cultural landmarks, proof of the Italian Americans are still
Speaker 3: here and still fighting to preserve our heritage. But it
Speaker 3: just seems that ma'am DOMMI can find room for every
Speaker 3: other professional, fact progressive constituency, but somehow we can't find
Speaker 3: room for little Italy. So I think you were quoted earlier.
Speaker 3: Today Mike is saying our culture is good enough for
Speaker 3: their photo ops, our food is good enough for their fundraisers,
Speaker 3: Our neighborhoods are good enough for tourism dollars. But it
Speaker 3: comes time to recognizing the contribution of Italian Americans to
Speaker 3: this great country.
Speaker 5: They erase us one percent, and Mulberry Street to what
Speaker 5: you're saying, Roger is still thriving. Italian American businesses are
Speaker 5: still there. It still is the epicenter of our culture.
Speaker 5: We have our great friend Baby John Delutra, who has
Speaker 5: been there for sixty years, and there are still people
Speaker 5: who have been there, many of which who continue on
Speaker 5: these traditions. The Feast of San Gennaro. One of the
Speaker 5: greatest traditions in any city in the world is in
Speaker 5: Little Italy, right there on Mulberry Street. So it is
Speaker 5: a place unlike any other, and for it to be
Speaker 5: completely ignored off the map is absolutely horrible.
Speaker 3: So the Italian American Civil Rights League, which by the way, folks,
Speaker 3: you can go to IACRL dot org. I ACRL dot org.
Speaker 3: It's an all volunteered nonprofit. There's no overhead, there's nobody
Speaker 3: making money. Everybody I'm a member. Many of my friends
Speaker 3: of Italian American extraction are members. I even have some
Speaker 3: friends who aren't Italian who are members because they recognize
Speaker 3: the importance of the Italian experience. But that's IACRL dot org.
Speaker 3: If you're more interested, you've called on the mayor to
Speaker 3: correct the map, to apologize to Italian Americans, and to
Speaker 3: include these historic Italian American neighborhoods in any official city
Speaker 3: project recognizing immigrant heritage. Mike, I have to ask you
Speaker 3: a tough question. Do you think the mayor is going
Speaker 3: to do that?
Speaker 5: You know we are going to make the mayor do
Speaker 5: something because the Italian American Civil Rights League. I'm pleased
Speaker 5: to announce from the show tonight is that we are
Speaker 5: going to hold a row on Mulberry Street in support
Speaker 5: of the Italian American community to show the mayor, not
Speaker 5: just obviously people are talking about it on social media,
Speaker 5: but to show him in real life in New York
Speaker 5: City that there are thousands of Italian Americans who demand
Speaker 5: an answer for what he's doing. So we are going
Speaker 5: to have a Save Mulberry Street, Save Little Italy rally
Speaker 5: right there. It's going to be announced very soon, that
Speaker 5: will be on iacrol dot org. We're going to hold
Speaker 5: that rally and we are expecting thousands of Italian Americans
Speaker 5: to show up in defiance of this mayor who has
Speaker 5: given us the cold shoulder, who has not reacted, but
Speaker 5: he cannot deny the will of the people. And we
Speaker 5: have thousands of people who are going to be there,
Speaker 5: Italians and non Italians. You make a good point, Roger.
Speaker 5: We're gonna have many non Italians there standing in solidarity
Speaker 5: with us. He will not be able to ignore that.
Speaker 5: So stay tuned because we are going to have an
Speaker 5: epic rally there to show him and show the world
Speaker 5: that Italian Americans are very much present in Little Italy.
Speaker 5: And literally very much exists right there in the heart
Speaker 5: of Manhattan.
Speaker 3: Mike is, do you have any doubt whatsoever that's only
Speaker 3: a short amount of time before they try to remove
Speaker 3: the statue of Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 5: Oh well, I mean Columbus Circle. I think he's going
Speaker 5: to one hundred percent try to change the name of
Speaker 5: Columbus Circle. He's already talked about it. He's given the
Speaker 5: middle fingers you point out, And that's going to be
Speaker 5: another line of the stand that we will not cross.
Speaker 5: If he tries to remove the statue of Christopher Columbus
Speaker 5: and try to change the name of Columbus Circle and
Speaker 5: all these wacky things, we are going to have thousands
Speaker 5: of Italian Americans out there to make our voices heard.
Speaker 5: You know. That's why we started the IACRL because an
Speaker 5: activist group, okay, advocating on behalf of Italian Americans isn't
Speaker 5: something that's existed. But we've seen from Kamala Harrison, Tim
Speaker 5: Wools and other figures out there z On obviously now
Speaker 5: that they have no problem shipping away, diminishing, and dismissing
Speaker 5: our people's contributions. So if they try to do that,
Speaker 5: the Italian American civil Rights will be organizing a massive
Speaker 5: demonstration there. We will make our voice heard. We have lawyers,
Speaker 5: we have publicists, we have people in the media, we
Speaker 5: have people in all sorts of professions who are going
Speaker 5: to donate their time and their resources to fight back
Speaker 5: against what is going on in Manhattan right now. So
Speaker 5: Italian American contributions do not go unnoticed and do not
Speaker 5: go anywhere. We were here before, Zaron and Roger. Let
Speaker 5: me tell you we the Italian Americans are going to
Speaker 5: be here hundreds of years after. He is a long
Speaker 5: distant memory. You could take that to the bank.
Speaker 3: I think you will agree with this. What we're seeing
Speaker 3: here is a reflection of something much much larger. You've
Speaker 3: seen the once great Democrat Party, once great Democrat party
Speaker 3: of governors like you carry for example, that party in
Speaker 3: no longer exists. The Democrat Party in New York City
Speaker 3: and in New York State has been taken over by
Speaker 3: radical leftist, progressive knee Marxist fringe of which ma'am Dommi
Speaker 3: is not just the state leader but also the national leader.
Speaker 3: And therefore old fashioned Democrats, old fashioned Catholic American Democrats,
Speaker 3: really have no home in their own party and can
Speaker 3: no longer, i think, win statewide or citywide primary. So
Speaker 3: this is the radical takeover of one of our two
Speaker 3: major parties by a radical fringe. But this is now
Speaker 3: the party of AOC, the party of Rashida to lead
Speaker 3: the party of Bernie Sanders. Until yesterday it was a
Speaker 3: party of Graham Plattner. This is the larger political and
Speaker 3: cultural phenomena that's taking place before our very eyes.
Speaker 1: Percent.
Speaker 5: President Trump said it the other day from the Oval Office,
Speaker 5: is that we are not running against the Democrat Party.
Speaker 5: We are running against a group of communists. They have
Speaker 5: taken over the party. The inmates are running the asylum.
Speaker 5: And you know, it's funny, Roger. You know a lot
Speaker 5: of people out there, you know, old school Italian Americans.
Speaker 5: They were Democrats. They were working class Democrats who were
Speaker 5: out there in the sixties and the seventies voting for Democrats.
Speaker 5: Those days are long gone. Those are Trump voters now
Speaker 5: one hundred and ten percent. But President Trump said it
Speaker 5: right that we are no longer running against those types
Speaker 5: of Democrats. We are running against a different breed. We
Speaker 5: are running against a breed of American hating lunatics who
Speaker 5: want to erase us off the map. And this is
Speaker 5: how they do it, through the symbolism, through the gestures,
Speaker 5: through the whitewashing. This is their strategy. It's in all
Speaker 5: of the communists playbooks to the letter of the laws,
Speaker 5: and they are running that on us right now. And
Speaker 5: must we not fall asleep and let it happen to us.
Speaker 5: We got to wake up, We got to stand up,
Speaker 5: and we have to reclaim our country because it's a
Speaker 5: good thing if you have Democrats and Republicans, but it's
Speaker 5: not a good thing if you have Republicans battling Communist
Speaker 5: America hating lunatics. So we need to do a course
Speaker 5: correction and getting the message out about these things helps
Speaker 5: do that.
Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna have to leave it. I want
Speaker 3: to thank our guest, Mike Chrispy. If you're interested to
Speaker 3: go to i a c r L dot org Scalian
Speaker 3: American Civil Rights League dot org. It's an all volunteer
Speaker 3: nonprofit uh and help fight for our heritage and our history.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back in the Stone Zone.
Speaker 1: This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
Speaker 4: It is a great, great person, Rogerstone.
Speaker 2: The Stone Zone Zone. This is the Stone Zone with
Speaker 2: Roger Stone.
Speaker 5: Roger Stone, who is the very, very one of the
Speaker 5: smartest political minds.
Speaker 1: Rogerstone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant
Speaker 1: political analyst. Now get him his zone. It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 2: Here's Rogerstone, and we're back in the Stone Zone.
Speaker 3: Our switchboard is lit up like a Christmas tree. A
Speaker 3: lot of reaction to this announcement by Mayor Zoran Mamdami
Speaker 3: releasing a map of the city's notable immigrant enclaves, but
Speaker 3: leaving out storied and historic Little Italy. If you're interested,
Speaker 3: once again, so will be able to ask. You can
Speaker 3: go to the Italian American Civil Rights League that's the
Speaker 3: ia CRL dot org for more information. They're planning a
Speaker 3: public protest. That is an all volunteer nonprofit organization and
Speaker 3: you can join. Very inexpensive, but one hundred percent of
Speaker 3: the money is used for program. In the meantime, President
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is proving once again that unyielding strength gets results.
Speaker 3: On the world stage board Air Force One, the President
Speaker 3: told reporters that Spain had come all the way back
Speaker 3: after he threatened to hault US trade with that country
Speaker 3: over its refusal to meet NATO's defense spending expectations. Evidently,
Speaker 3: Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez had resisted NATO's five
Speaker 3: percent defense spending goals, claiming Spain's much lower target is enough.
Speaker 3: President Trump just wasn't buying it. At the NATO's summit
Speaker 3: in Anchor, he called Spain a lost cause, and he
Speaker 3: directed the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen to stop US trade
Speaker 3: with Spain if Madrid continued to free load. According to
Speaker 3: President Trump, the pressure worked literally within hours. He said,
Speaker 3: Spain honored a request for significant payments that became far
Speaker 3: more generous. Spanish government did not publicly detail what was
Speaker 3: agreed to, but Sanchez did not have a change of heart.
Speaker 3: For no reason, he complied, because President Trump trusted his arm.
Speaker 3: For decades, American taxpayers have carried NATA while wealthy European
Speaker 3: governments spent too little on their own defense and expected
Speaker 3: Uncle Sam.
Speaker 1: To pick up the tab.
Speaker 3: All the while, those countries have never had our backs
Speaker 3: when we need them, and they resent our international influence.
Speaker 3: President Trump is changing that broken status quo. Spain tried
Speaker 3: to act calm about the whole situation, with Sanchez describing
Speaker 3: his conversation with President Trump as cordial and casual. But
Speaker 3: behind Sanchez's attempt to save face, the reality is simple.
Speaker 3: President Trump drew a line in the sand, and the
Speaker 3: Spanish blint under pressure. This is America first, foreign policy
Speaker 3: and action. No more blank checks, no more free loading
Speaker 3: socialist allies, no more subsidizing spending sprees from socialist governments.
Speaker 3: Countries will pay their fair share or they suffer the consequences.
Speaker 3: It's notable that in his first term, President Donald Trump
Speaker 3: managed to collect six hundred and fifty million dollars in
Speaker 3: past dues from our NATO allies. Yet when we decided
Speaker 3: for our own reasons to strike Iran, a number of
Speaker 3: the NATO countries would not let us use the US
Speaker 3: built bases in their country or fly over their airspace.
Speaker 3: NATO is perhaps outdated, I've said it in this show.
Speaker 3: Perhaps it is time to reevaluate our membership. It made
Speaker 3: sense after World War Two when they were economically devastated
Speaker 3: and we were still relatively prosperous. But now it's a
Speaker 3: serious question whether it made sense because we support them
Speaker 3: but they don't support us. Thank you for joining us
Speaker 3: today in the Stone Zone, where five days a week
Speaker 3: we talk about politics, politics, and even more politics. We
Speaker 3: appreciate your tuning in, and we try to bring you
Speaker 3: the political news that you can't really get any place else.
Speaker 3: So until tomorrow, God bless you and god speed.
Speaker 5: No
