WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.440 The stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 2 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.679 podcast network. 3 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.119 You are now entering the stone Zone, the hottest political 4 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.039 talk show on the planet. Do you remember Mike Lindell, 5 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:21.559 the My Pillow guy. Mike Lindell had an impressive story 6 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.679 of being a recovered drug addict who turned his life 7 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.800 to Christ that I still choose to believe. But Mike 8 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.399 Lindell pumped three million dollars into building a social media 9 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.280 platform that was supposed to compete with Twitter, back before 10 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.600 Elon Musk owned Twitter, when it was still a site 11 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.640 of censorship and cancelation. He put three million dollars into 12 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.039 this new social media platform. He collected hundreds of thousands 13 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.560 of names of new sign ups, and on the day 14 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.439 that it went live, of course, it crashed. The guys 15 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.520 who charged him three million dollars it had been hacked 16 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.879 by the Chinese, but my sources tell me otherwise. Then 17 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.879 he went on an election integrity crusade. He had a 18 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.719 huge election integrity conference where he promised the world that 19 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.239 he would produce definitive evidence that the twenty twenty election 20 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.280 was stolen. Paid some former intelligences almost two million dollars, 21 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.719 but even Steve Bannon, his buddy, criticized Mike for not 22 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.120 being able to produce the goods well. Now, Mike Lindell, 23 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:36.319 whose Pillow Empire went bankrupt, is running for governor of Minnesota, 24 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.400 an office that quite candidly, I think he is the 25 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.319 one Republican who probably cannot win based on polling. But 26 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.439 what I find interesting is that his position on immigration. 27 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.959 When he announced his candidacy in December of twenty twenty five, 28 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.280 said he favored strict enforcement, focusing on opposing sanctuary policies, 29 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.000 supported border security and ICE cooperation to remove criminal ellecs. 30 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.760 He would protect resources for citizens and legal residents. If 31 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.640 you're here illegally, he said, now is the time to 32 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.360 leave or you will be sent back. Then President Trump 33 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.159 endorsed him about a week ago. Now suddenly Mike Lindell 34 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.599 has a new position. Now he's saying that he favors 35 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.719 a one time six month registration window, a moratorium for 36 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:28.800 any non criminal illegal to stay in Minnesota, conditioning on 37 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.599 expiring work of easas you have to be fingerprinted and 38 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:38.400 background checked. This is a political flip flop I would 39 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.439 ever have expected from Mike Lindell. But then Mike Lindell 40 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.800 has disappointed me before when we learned that Steve Bannon 41 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.800 was the subject of nineteen hundred emails exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein, 42 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.319 who had been working closely with Epstein to rehabilitate his 43 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.919 public image. Well, Mike Lindell continued to associate with Bann, 44 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.039 so I guess I should not be surprised anyway. The 45 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.240 House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has now referred Special Counsel 46 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.080 Jack Smith. Jack Smith is the special counsel who ran 47 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.400 the raid on mar Lago and essentially was the key 48 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.599 man in the tsunami of law Fair, in which they 49 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:24.000 tried to destroy Donald Trump. They tried to break him financially, 50 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.800 they tried to keep him off the ballot, They tried 51 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.599 to put him in jail. But now Smith himself has 52 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.400 been referred to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. I 53 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.879 used to think that the Russian collusion hoax was the 54 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.840 greatest single dirty trick in American history, the greatest single 55 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.680 abuse of power in which the full authority of the 56 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:51.759 United States Government was utilized for strictly political purposes, utilizing, 57 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.240 in this case, two pieces of totally fabricated evidence. The 58 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:01.000 so called Steele dossier. That was a report which falsely 59 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.479 alleged that Donald Trump, while visiting Moscow as a private businessman, 60 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.199 that gallied with Russian prostitutes. It was paid for by 61 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.639 Hillary Clinton and was a complete fraud. And also the 62 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.399 still false claim that the Democrat National Committee was hacked 63 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.319 by Russian intelligence and that those emails were spirited over 64 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.920 to Wiki leagues was the underlying claim of the charges 65 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.839 against me. There's no proof of that whatsoever. In fact, 66 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.839 I wanted to introduce expert testimony and forensic evidence which 67 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.759 had approved definitively that the Democrat National Committee was never 68 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.079 hacked by the Russians or anyone else for that matter. 69 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:52.040 In any event, we now have evidence that in a 70 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.959 letter that Chairman Jim Jordan wrote to the Acting Attorney 71 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.759 General Todd Blanche, that Smith made knowingly false statements under 72 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.720 oath before Congress. In his December twenty twenty five Congressional 73 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.839 death Positions, Smith was groaned about the Biden era Arctic 74 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:13.759 Frost operation that unconstitutionally subpoened the phone records from more 75 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.759 than a dozen Republican members of Congress, complete with gag orders, 76 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.759 so that the targets wouldn't even know that the Deep 77 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.800 State was watching them. When asked whether he or members 78 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.199 of his prosecution team ever accessed the content of those 79 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.319 privileged text messages, Smith claimed they had not, But the 80 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.839 new DOJ documents proved that claim is false. This wasn't 81 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.240 a paperwork era. This was a calculated effort by a 82 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.279 Biden appointed special council to spy on elected Republicans and 83 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.879 associates to the President, including yours truly, to then stonewall Congress, 84 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.519 and to cover his tracks. Now they charged me with 85 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.720 making false statements to Congress, but although I did make misstatements, 86 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.160 none of them were material. In other words, I had 87 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.079 no motive to lie. I made errors, but there was 88 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.480 no Russian collusion to lie about. There was nothing to 89 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.000 cover up. That was definitively proved when a federal judge 90 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.759 ordered that Robert Muller's final report, long redacted Neiden from 91 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.639 my lawyers during trial by the judge and the American public, 92 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.519 but released on November third of twenty twenty, proved definitively 93 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.079 that they had found no evidence of Russian collusion, Wiki 94 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.839 Leak's collaboration, or any other crime on my part. Any 95 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.319 misstatement I made was inadvertent and immaterial. Not so in 96 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.680 the case of Smith. Smith's team just didn't just dig 97 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.399 into January sixth. The infamous FED surrection on January sixth 98 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.839 served as a dastardly honeypot to ensnare Trump supporting election 99 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.439 integrity activist. Then they went after the private communications of 100 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.120 the people's elected representatives. That is, by the way, the 101 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.680 very definition of law fair, using the justice system as 102 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.560 a political weapon against the opposition. These details prove that 103 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.240 the weaponization of the DOJ under Biden was an assault 104 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.439 on the constitution itself. When a prosecutor lies under oath 105 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.360 to Congress about spying on lawmakers, isn't just committing perjury. 106 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.319 He's undermining the separation of powers, the very foundation of 107 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.800 self government. In other words, one branch of government should 108 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.839 not be allowed to spy on another branch, particularly the 109 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.959 elected branch of government. In any other era, targeting the 110 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.720 political opposition with secret surveillance and then lying about it 111 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.079 under oath would be treated as a betrayal of the 112 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.439 highest order. So I believe the appropriate charge here is 113 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.319 treason and that Jack Smith has abused his authority. And 114 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.800 what was now I think the greatest single abuse of 115 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.560 power in American history. Will anybody be held accountable? Well, 116 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.959 that remains to be seen. Jim Jordan sends a lot 117 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.439 of letters. A lot of Republicans are very good hot letters. 118 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.519 I remember when twenty nine FBI agents stormed my home 119 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.160 at six o'clock in the morning to arrest me for 120 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:12.879 the first time nonviolent crime, allegedly lying to Congress. The 121 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.519 late Lindsay Graham got huge headlines by firing off a 122 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.360 letter to the FBI director demanding to know who had 123 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.480 approved this rate on my home. The FBI never answered 124 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.839 the letter, but the late Senator Graham got his headline. 125 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.480 Republicans seemed to be very good at launching letters, strongly 126 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.480 worded letters. They'll seem to be too good at keeping people, 127 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:40.879 holding people responsible. Meanwhile, the Democrats already eyeing the twenty 128 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.799 twenty eight presidential field, and the early numbers are not 129 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.559 good for the chances of ending MAGA and retaking the country. 130 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.039 At brand newpole from the University of New Hampshire shows 131 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:56.320 that radical New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortes, better known 132 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.120 as AOC, is actually leading the Democrat primary with twenty 133 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.639 two percent, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Boudajez behind her 134 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.360 say that lightly at twenty one. Meanwhile, former Vice President 135 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.000 Kamala Harris comes in at a pathetic five percent When 136 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.600 you consider that she spent literally billions of dollars running 137 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.480 for president in the last cycle, that's really extraordinary. Party's 138 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.960 two top prospects seem to be AOC, the self described 139 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:31.120 democratic socialist who once declared capitalism irredeemable, compared Ice attention 140 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.679 centers to concentration camps and said America is governed by fascists, 141 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.200 and Pete Boudajez, the LGBT stal war to claims racem 142 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.279 is physically built into some of our highways. He said 143 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:49.440 that is Transportation secretary floated gender equity crash test dummies, 144 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.440 and on national television refused to draw a clear line 145 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:57.159 against late term abortions that I think you could call infanticide. 146 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.240 These are not mainstream leaders. This is the left's dream ticket, 147 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.159 which will alienate swing voters, I think in crucial battleground 148 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.279 states who still believe in borders, energy, independence, and plain 149 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.559 old common sense, while Democrats chase these socialist fantasies and 150 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.159 take identity politics to extremes. I think Republicans are consolidating 151 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.440 around serious contenders like Vice President JD Vance, who leads 152 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.919 the Republican side in that same New Hampshire poll with 153 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.240 thirty six percent of the vote, and Secretary of State 154 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:34.080 Marco Rubio, who runs strong at twenty eight after years 155 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:39.200 of open borders, inflation, and cultural chaos, it is a 156 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.440 time for the American people to show they have no 157 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.480 tolerance for the radical left and they're toxic, unpopular, self 158 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.960 destructive policies. If AOC and Buddhajes are the best of 159 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.720 Democrats can offer in twenty twenty eight, I would say 160 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.879 their prospects look bleak and dealed. But the old Democratic Party, 161 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.840 the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy, Democratic Party of 162 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.600 Harry Truman, the party that believed in capitalism, free enterprise, 163 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:09.639 a strong national defense, an anti communist Democrat Party, a 164 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:14.039 party that believed in God. That party literally no longer exists, 165 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:19.120 and the takeover of the Democrat Party by the radical 166 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:24.720 socialists is complete. This is the other point I guess 167 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.519 here is AOC may op not to run for presidents. 168 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.240 You may run for the United States Senate in the 169 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.519 Empire state, in which case, well, I think Chuck Schumer 170 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.840 would be toast in the Democrat primary. I'm Roger Stoner 171 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.759 to listen to the stone Zone. We'll be right back 172 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.440 with more on the other side. 173 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:46.559 The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 174 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.840 podcast Networks. 175 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.799 Welcome back into the stone Zone. You know, everyone who 176 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.519 is my age knows exactly where they were and what 177 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.320 they were doing when they heard that President John F. 178 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.120 Kennedy had been shot and killed in the streets of 179 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:06.759 Dallas on November twenty second, nineteen sixty three. I would 180 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.000 go on to write a New York Times best selling 181 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.519 book about it. Right now, I'm working on a book 182 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:18.320 about the attempted assassination on President Reagan, because well, if 183 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.600 you file a freedom of information request with the federal government, 184 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.000 everything you get back is completely and totally redacted, telling 185 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.320 you nothing whatsoever about John Hinckley Junior and the attempted 186 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.440 assassination on Ronald Reagan. I've learned much about that, and 187 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.320 I'm going to release the book shortly. The United States 188 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.639 Secret Service is warning that the threat environment surrounding President 189 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.279 Trump and other protected officials is the worst that the 190 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.600 agency has ever experienced. Officials say that roughly ten thousand 191 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.759 threat cases have already been logged in twenty twenty six. 192 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.000 That's a forty percent increase from the same period last year. 193 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.360 This is why I have added the safety of President 194 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.120 Donald Trump to my rosary every night. There have been 195 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.360 not one, not two, but I count actually four attempts 196 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.879 on the President's life. I'm still not satisfied what the 197 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:19.879 official explanation that Thomas Matthew Crooks acted alone in Butler, Pennsylvania. 198 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.679 But I do recall that same feeling in the pit 199 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.720 of my stomach that I felt when Kennedy was shot, 200 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.559 when they tried to kill Reagan, and they attempted to 201 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:35.000 kill Donald Trump. There have now been multiple violent episodes 202 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.559 that protected sites instigators have also acknowledged many serious security failures. 203 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.320 During the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, one attendee, Corey Compentory, a firefighter, 204 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.559 was killed, others were wounded. What really aggravates me when 205 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.639 I go online is when some people say, well, this 206 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:57.440 was all staged, staged by Trump, or some people say 207 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.600 staged by Roger Stone. That's particularly offensive. A man was killed, 208 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:06.840 that is indisputable. How it is that the state, local 209 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.080 and federal law enforcement were all on different radio frequencies 210 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.440 and could not communicate with each other. How they missed 211 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.039 more than one hundred individual reports of a man on 212 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.519 the roof of the rifle and arranged fighter is a 213 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:27.080 little hard to understand. Also, their failure to conduct a 214 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.279 drone surveillance. The local police actually offered to do it 215 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.759 for the Secret Service. Secret Service declined, but then the 216 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.399 Secret Service couldn't figure out how to get the drone 217 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.879 technology that they had licensed to work. There was actually 218 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.039 a Secret Service agent on the eight hundred number with 219 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.799 the manufacture of the drone technology trying to figure out 220 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.440 how to get it to work. I think America has 221 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.600 to confront this political climate that helped produce this danger. 222 00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:00.200 For years a Trump derangement. Media culture has portrayed one 223 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.440 man and tens of millions of his supporters like me, 224 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:10.399 as fascists or extremists, white supremacists, or existential threats to democracy. 225 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:17.679 When public figures relentlessly demonizes in this kind of apocalyptic language, 226 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:25.159 unstable people can interpret political hatred as a license for violence. 227 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.679 This doesn't excuse any attacker in my view of responsibility 228 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.399 of course belongs to the criminal, but responsible journalism requires 229 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.919 recognizing the messaging shapes the national atmosphere. The press would 230 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.320 stop treating inflammatory rhetoric as if it was harmless when 231 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.960 it targets President Trump, Republicans, or or anyone in our 232 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:50.720 political society. Political disagreement is legitimate, but dehumanizing is not. 233 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.200 The Secret Service must receive the manpower, technology, counter drone authority, 234 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.799 and institutional reforms needed to corect our national leaders, regardless 235 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:04.120 of and that includes building the secure White House Ballroom. 236 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.000 It's not incidental that there have now been two attempts 237 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.399 on presidents at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, d C. 238 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.960 Fake news. I'm afraid beyond redemption. They must be disposed 239 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:21.399 of completely in terms of their monolithic ability to set 240 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.200 the stage for the national dialogue. But in the meantime, 241 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.559 the threats against our president are really real. There are 242 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.720 at a record, and therefore I urge you to join 243 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:35.159 me in praying for our president, our vice president, all 244 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.440 of our leaders, regardless of party. I'm Roger Stone. You're 245 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.720 listening to the Stone Zone. Don't go away, because we'll 246 00:16:40.759 --> 00:17:03.039 have more hot politics on the other side. 247 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.440 The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 248 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.680 podcast network. 249 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.079 You are diving headfirst right back into the Stone Zone, 250 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.359 the hottest political talk show on the planet. Today, the 251 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.839 US House of Representatives has narrowly passed a one point 252 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.079 one five trillion dollar defense policy bill, but they attached 253 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.720 the Save America Act to a package that funds the military, 254 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.880 nuclear security, and a three point six percent pay raise 255 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.319 for our military. They attached the Save Act. That is 256 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:46.240 the simple provision that requires it one be a citizen 257 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.480 of the United States and have a photo ID before 258 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.359 you're allowed to vote in a federal election. Polls show 259 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.440 that some eighty seven percent of the American people support 260 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.640 the simple provision, which is now past the House attached 261 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.599 to the defense appropriations, but is yet to pass the Senate. 262 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.119 The final vote in the House was two sixteen to 263 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.480 two twelve, and from a common sense perspective, there's a 264 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.960 lot there to support. America must rebuild our military readiness, 265 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.039 to invest in modern weapons, and ensure that our troops 266 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:23.039 are properly compensated. The bill also includes a welcome provision 267 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.880 that actually imposes a modest funding penalty if the Pentagon 268 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.759 again fails an audit after eight consecutive failed audits. Tax 269 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.920 Payers deserve accountability and the military industrial complex must not 270 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.759 be given a free pass when it comes to our 271 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.720 tax dollars. The Save America Actors finally addresses the concern 272 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.599 that only American citizens as I SA should vote in 273 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.200 US elections. Requiring proof of citizenship and foil identifications just 274 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.119 common sense. Provided lawmakers established practical procedures for citizens who 275 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:02.480 lack passports are easy access to birth records. The idea 276 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.599 that this is somehow racist just kind of defies common sense. Now, 277 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.079 the responsibility ultimately relies on the US Senate. The Senate 278 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.960 should preserve the strongest part of this important military bill. 279 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.640 I mean the military readiness, the troop pay increase, but 280 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.759 also the election integrity portions of it as well. If 281 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.599 Senate removes the Safe America Act provisions from the Defense 282 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.440 bill while rubber stamping massive spending, that will be a 283 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.200 trail of the President and its principles, and it could 284 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.200 be a disaster for Republican chances in these upcoming mid 285 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.319 term elections. Strong defense and secure elections are both essential. 286 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.559 I think these issues go hand in hand. The Senate 287 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.079 can't drop the ball on this or the consequences could 288 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.920 very well be dire. But we're held up by something 289 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.519 called the filibuster rule. That means that in the Senate 290 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.599 you don't need fifty one votes to pass a piece 291 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.119 of legislation. I think there are fifty votes today for 292 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.319 the Save America Act, and Vice President J. D Vance 293 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.200 could then cast a tie breaking vote and it would 294 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.319 become law. But under the filibuster rule, and this is important, 295 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.799 this is not a law. This is a Senate rule, 296 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.839 essentially a custom or a tradition. It requires sixty votes 297 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:24.160 to bring the Save America Act to the floor. Now. Sadly, 298 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:30.559 the Senate Majority Leader John Thune of Nebraska steadfastly refused 299 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.200 to break the filibessco rule and bring this to a floor, 300 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.839 which I think could cost the Republicans extraordinarily this November. 301 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.559 It's time to pass the Save America Act and stop 302 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:47.440 the politics. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is reaching a historic 303 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.079 achievement in terms of defending public safety. The homicide rate 304 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.920 across all major US cities actually found eighteen percent in 305 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.000 the first after twenty twenty six and maybe heading towards 306 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.319 a historic law. A new Council on Criminal Justice report 307 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:10.759 examined thirteen criminal categories in thirty six nine declined homicides 308 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.759 were down in most cities study, while carjacking dropped an 309 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.960 extraordinary forty seven percent. Comparing that with the first half 310 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.519 of twenty nineteen, homicides were actually down thirty one percent. 311 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.119 The results are irrefutable, and there a political triumph for 312 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.839 President Trump's law and order agenda. His administration has actually 313 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.359 restored the basic principle that the government's first duty is 314 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:38.119 to protect innocent citizens, not making excuses for criminals, not 315 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:44.000 undermining the police, not allowing chaos to become normal. After 316 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:49.240 years of fire left prosecutors, anti police rhetoric, open border disorders, 317 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.119 and soft on crime insanity, America seems to be moving 318 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:55.640 back towards the rule of law as the public is 319 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.279 sick of coddling criminals. Federal support for law enforcement, of 320 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:05.839 action against violent gangs, stronger border security, and renewed respect 321 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:10.039 for police all send the unmisteekable message at criminals, not 322 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.799 law abiding families should fear the justice system. I think 323 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:17.640 our leaders must continue supporting officers but prosecuting repe defenders, 324 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.599 securing the border, and rejecting radical policies that put the 325 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.559 far left ideology above public safety. The direction of America's 326 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:29.400 moving is clear. Trump administration's fulfilling its promise and allowing 327 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:34.200 American families to once again live in peace. While we're 328 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.440 at it, we should bring back cash bail. Casualist bail 329 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.680 is done in New York State as a umongous mistake. Meanwhile, 330 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.759 Trump Accounts, a new federal investment program for children, which 331 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.759 officially launched on July fourth, has already drawn significant participation. 332 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.519 The Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson, announced that more 333 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.519 than seven million accounts have been opened for children under eighteen, 334 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:05.160 with roughly one point five billion dollar invested so far. 335 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:09.440 So about one point seven million children qualify for the 336 00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:14.160 program's one time, one thousand dollars federal contribution, In other words, 337 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.640 seed money put in by the government under Donald Trump, 338 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.079 who will be available for children born between January first, 339 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.640 twenty twenty five and December thirty first, twenty twenty eight. 340 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:30.960 The accounts a function like traditional iras investments grow tax deferred, 341 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:39.519 where withdraws generally cannot begin until the l turns eighteen. Parents, guardians, relatives, employers, governments, 342 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:44.400 and qualified nonprofits may also contribute, although contribution limits and 343 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:49.839 tax treatment may vary. Families, friends, employer contributions generally cannot 344 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:56.119 exceed five thousand dollars annually per account. Employer contributions are 345 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.920 caped at twenty five hundred per employee. Government and no 346 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.920 nonprofit contributions don't count towards the limit. Funds are invested 347 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:08.720 in low costs diversified American stock market funds. The default 348 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.319 option tracks the S and P five hundred, with additional 349 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:17.680 index fund choices expected at age eighteen. The accounts converted 350 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.240 to traditional iras. Early withdrawals may face taxes and penalties, 351 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:28.519 though except exceptions exist for higher education, buying a first home, adoption, 352 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.519 medical emergencies, and certain other medical costs. Trump accounts are 353 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.240 giving children a valuable financial head start, particularly when families 354 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:43.240 and employers contribute consistently. Now is the time for young families, 355 00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:45.480 I think, to take advantage of this revolutionary plan that 356 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:50.559 will build wealth for the next generation and the culture 357 00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:54.519 of dependency that fuels the continuous growth of big government. 358 00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:58.240 This is a perfect example of the creativity of the 359 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:03.240 Trump administration. It will be in Trump's legacy the way 360 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:09.920 so security is in the legacy of Franklin, Delano or Roosevelt. Meanwhile, 361 00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:16.160 a major FDA fight is going over experimental peptide treatments 362 00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:20.160 and showing how the fibuiocracy is striking back against Health 363 00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:24.640 and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's Make America Healthy 364 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:31.119 against agenda. An FDA advisory committee is reviewing whether specialized 365 00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:35.960 pharmacies should again be allowed to produce seven pepside injections 366 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.839 that were banned three years ago over safety concerns. Secretary 367 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:43.880 Kennedy has argued that the restrictions pushed patients into a 368 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:49.400 dangerous gray market that regulated compounding with proper safeguards could 369 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:54.039 offer a safety path in greater healing. And Health Agency 370 00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:58.599 scientists suppose broader access, saying the peptides lacks sufficient human 371 00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:03.039 data on safety and effectiveness. No final decision has currently 372 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.039 been made. I can tell you firsthand the black market 373 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:10.640 in peptide is extraordinary. I know because my inbox is 374 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:16.160 constantly bombarded with clinics seeking to sell me peptides that 375 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:21.839 I cannot get legally. I know people who have used 376 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.599 peptides in their healing process. I have not chosen to 377 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:29.880 do so, but that black market very much exists. The contrary. 378 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.079 The controversy here exposes a deeper battle over who controls 379 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:38.119 American Medicine Secretary Kennedy's promised to challenge an FDA culture 380 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:43.880 long criticized for favoring entrenched pharmaceutical interests Big Pharma, limiting 381 00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:48.160 patent choice, and treating innovation outside the traditional approval system 382 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.200 as a threat. Unelected, faceless bureaucrats are clinging to what's 383 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:57.720 left of their closed system that protects corporate gatekeepers to 384 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:03.200 the detriment of patients. Visible Path is neither reckless, free 385 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.039 for all nor automatic deference to the bureocracy. It's a 386 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:13.400 transparent science, strict disclosures, adverse event reporting, and carefully controlled access. 387 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.759 People should be allowed to choose. The FDA should not 388 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.440 make the best, unbiased information available to the masses. They 389 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.960 should not be restricting treatments to protect big pharmer's bloated profit. 390 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.000 Margins Ken, you must continue to push back against the 391 00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:34.119 FDA because their decisions jeopardize health freedom. My wife is 392 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.839 a cancer survivor. In all honesty, I doubt that she 393 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:43.440 would now be five years cancer free without alternative treatments 394 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:47.240 for cancer. President Donald Trump and the Right to Try 395 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.160 Act has been a pioneer in this entire area, and 396 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:57.279 I think more and freer access to alternative medicine should 397 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:03.000 be allowed. Meanwhile, New Jerseys voter registration scandals growing more 398 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.079 serious as the software company blamed by the governor disputes 399 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.799 the state's account. Governor Mikey Cheryl says that a vendor 400 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.079 error caused more than sixty six hundred people who identify 401 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.359
