WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.440 The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 2 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:11.679 podcast network. 3 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.280 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone. People love 4 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.199 him and respect him. 5 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.199 Roger Stone. 6 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.879 Now give him his zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's 7 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.079 Roger Stone. 8 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.479 It all started when Vice President JD Vance, speaking at 9 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.880 the Nixon Presidential Library, said, and by the way, if 10 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.439 you look at the story of how the deep state 11 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.719 took down Richard Nixon, it's not at all different from 12 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.560 the same group of people, the same institutions that try 13 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.520 to do Donald Trump in the first Trump administration. There 14 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.399 is a parallel. Then when you combine that with an 15 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:05.319 extraordinarily creative online campaign by two young men at the 16 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.560 Nixon Foundation, James Byron, the president and CEO of the Foundation, 17 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:16.439 and Chris Barber, their young marketing director, they have started 18 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:22.400 a phenomena online known as Nixon maxin in which they 19 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:29.120 have used memes, short videos, and platforms like Instagram, x 20 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.280 and YouTube to introduce an entire new generation of young 21 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.359 people to Richard Milhouse Nixon. Now, I myself have worked 22 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.159 on this particular project for more than a decade, having 23 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.319 written two books on the thirty seventh President, and now 24 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.359 when I see our liberals flipping out because you see, 25 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.840 they can no longer recast the tale of Watergate as 26 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.879 a morality play in which the Liberals saved America. Those 27 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.120 were the happiest day in their lives. They were on 28 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.840 a permanent high, for they were at long last wreaking 29 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.520 a delicious revenge on the man. While tail gunner Joe 30 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.280 McCarthy accepted they hated more than any other when Richard 31 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.439 Nixon went down, One liberal triumphantly titled a book of 32 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.080 the era entitled When the Good Guys Finally Won. Personally, 33 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.280 I find that to be a howler. But why did 34 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.599 they hate Nixon? So why do they hate him still? 35 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.840 Why are John Dean and Jill Wyne Volner the former 36 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.879 Wartergate prosecutor or Nick Ackerman, the biggest phony of the mall, 37 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.120 former Wartergate prosecutor who pretends to be an unbiased law 38 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.039 enforcement official but is in fact a partisan hater. Why 39 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.400 do they so revile him? Born poor, with an older 40 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.800 and younger brother dying before they were eighteen, Nixon's story 41 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.759 is a classic horatio al. He excelled at school, worked 42 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.360 in his dad's grocery store, served as country honorably in 43 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.960 World War II, came home to run for Congress and 44 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.960 was elected along with fellow Vectoran John F. Kennedy. But 45 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.400 unlike his playboy friend, Nixon took Congress seriously. In his 46 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.639 first term, he vaulted to national fame by exposing a 47 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.759 Communist spy, a trader, an agent of Joe Stalin inside 48 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.960 the Truman FDR inner circle that was the golden boy 49 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.080 of liberalism, alger Is. In the Truman administration, Americans were 50 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.039 angrily demanding answers. Twelve million Americans had fought World War 51 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.240 II to victory, but Stalin seemed to be the big winner. 52 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.599 Ten Christian countries in Eastern Europe had been ceded to 53 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.520 the Great terrorists by Churchill and at Yalta, the most 54 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.280 populous nation on Earth, China for which we had gone 55 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.800 to war had fallen to the murderous Madman mount se Tongue. 56 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:09.520 From Indo China to Korea to Czechoslovakia, Communism was ascended. 57 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.840 See what Nixon provided was hard evidence that the suspicions 58 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.519 of American patriots were justified. FDR's regime had indeed been 59 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.439 honeycombed with Stalin's spies and homegrown red traders. Nixon had 60 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.920 exposed the best in the brightest of the New Dealers, 61 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.279 the aerodite in urbane Harvard graduate Alger Hiss, as a 62 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.560 Soviet duke. They would never forgive him. In nineteen forty eight, 63 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.800 both parties nominated Nixon for a second term in the House. 64 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.000 Not only did Jack Kennedy agree with Nixon, castigating FDR 65 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.920 and Secretary of State George Marshall for the loss of China, 66 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.480 but Jack Kennedy's father, Joe Kennedy, sent a check to 67 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.680 Nixon's nineteen fifty Senate campaign when he won a massive 68 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.319 landslide over Ellen Gehagen Douglas after missus Douglas had been 69 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:09.480 carved up by a naive fellow traveler in her Democrat primary, 70 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.560 the pink Lady, they called her, and Nixon's savvy campaign advisor, 71 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.839 Murray Shatner, took the voting record of Harlem congressman and 72 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.319 Communist Party member Vito marc Antonio, compared it to that 73 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.240 of Helen Gahagen Douglas and found a huge commonality. He 74 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.920 printed it in a pink colored paper leaflet, and Nixon 75 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.360 said she was pink right down to her underwear. The 76 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.839 left seethed with resentment for now. Nixon was the most 77 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.319 effective anti communist of his era, the bannet of the 78 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.480 Republican Party in the triumphant nineteen fifty two campaign against 79 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.240 feckless liberal egghead Adlai Stevenson, and he had captured the 80 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.920 vice presidency at thirty nine years of age. In fact, 81 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.439 the rise of Richard Nixon is miraculous. He was released 82 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.639 from the Navy in nineteen forty five. He was out 83 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.160 of work in nineteen forty six, but agreed to run 84 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.680 for Congress, and just six years later he was the 85 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:20.279 vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket. That's four years 86 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.639 in the House, victory in the nineteen fifty Senate race, 87 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.680 and then adopted for the ticket in nineteen fifty two 88 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:33.160 when Dwight Eisenhower defeated Senator Robert Taft, and party leaders 89 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.040 felt that Ike needed a hardline anti communist and a 90 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.360 conservative on the ticket with him. When the liberal New 91 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.879 York Post launched a smear to try to drive Nixon 92 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.680 off the Eisenhower ticket, accusing him of having a secret 93 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.160 slush fund, Nixon's tabilized televised counterattack, the famous Checkers speech, 94 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.600 not only solidified his position but he made him the 95 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.879 first Publican politician in decades with broad appeal across Middle America. 96 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.439 In the nineteen sixty campaign, the National Press Corps went 97 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.720 into the tag for Kennedy, covering up a lifestyle that 98 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.680 would make Bill Clinton look like a Trappist monk. And 99 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.839 although there is hard evidence that the nineteen sixty election 100 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.079 was stolen in Chicago and Texas, press was nonetheless delighted 101 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.439 by Nixon's defeat. President Dwight Eisenhower and New York Governor 102 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.040 Tom Dewey, who had been the nineteen forty four nineteen 103 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.040 forty eight Republican canadidate for president, both urged Nixon to 104 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.319 challenge the nineteen sixty election, but Nixon knew if he 105 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.800 did so, he would go down in history as a 106 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.720 sore loser, and that he would create a constitutional crisis 107 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.000 that the country could not bear and that would show 108 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.759 weakness to our international enemies. He chose to suffer his 109 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:59.319 defeat with dignity. In nineteen sixty two, when he made 110 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.920 an ill fated race for governor of California, the Cuban 111 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.720 missile crisis blacked out Nixon's surgeon campaign for governor. In 112 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:11.759 the closing days, and he lost, denouncing the media in 113 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:17.480 an angry last press conference. The political established exultantly declared 114 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.839 him dead. But after the gold Warner round of nineteen 115 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:27.560 sixty four, something miraculous happened. Between the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 116 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:32.559 the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the assassination of doctor Martin 117 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.919 Luther King, the deep divisions in the country over the 118 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.960 Vietnam War, and with New York at part of America's 119 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.720 cities on fire, the seas parted in such a way 120 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.120 that Richard Nixon was able to make the greatest comeback 121 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:53.120 in American political history save the comeback of Donald Trump 122 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.840 in twenty twenty four. He first led the Republican Party 123 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.000 to a forty seat date in the nineteen sixty six line. 124 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.279 Two years later, in a three way race in which 125 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.799 he had George Wallace running to his right and Vice 126 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.679 President Hubert Humphrey running to his left, he eked out 127 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.960 a victory to become President of the United States. Then, 128 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.639 with both Houses of Congress, the federal bureaucracy, big media, 129 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.840 and the cultural and academic elites viscerally opposed Nixon. By 130 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:29.039 nineteen seventy two, seemed to chieved his greatest coup. It 131 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.919 was US victory in Vietnam. He and Spiro Agne were 132 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.720 rewarded with the greatest popular leandslide in history, carrying forty 133 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:42.399 nine states against another champion of liberalism, Georgia McGovern. But 134 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.879 by now sadly Richard Nixon had stumbled. Instead of throwing 135 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.879 his old friend John Mitchell, who was my boss and 136 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.200 Nixon's law partner Ladies Attorney General to the wolves, when 137 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.840 Mitchell's aides got caught filching papers from the Democrat National Committee, 138 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.720 Nixon let Gate aids White House aids attempt to contain 139 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:08.320 the scandal. Like FDR, JFK and LBJ, he crossed the line. 140 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.360 But where they had been protected by Democrat congresses and 141 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.120 their media allies. Congress and the media seized on Watergate, 142 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.600 included to destroy a president who had defeated them and 143 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.799 take the country completely away from them. After eighteen months 144 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.200 a relentless attack, with his great silent majority shrunk to 145 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.279 about twenty five percent of the country, Nixon was forced 146 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.440 to resign. To crout the left's victory Vietnam. They cut 147 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.080 off the funds the same dific Congress from the means 148 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.559 to defend itself, and it fell to the Communists, as 149 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.279 did the poor Cambodians. Congress then proceeded to gut the 150 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.080 FBI and the CIA, and for that children, that is 151 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.159 the story of Watergate. But now an entire generation of 152 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.879 young people are getting a second look at Richard Milhouse Nixon. 153 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.000 It's thinks, I think, largely not only to those opening 154 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.159 comments by j. D. Vance, but also because of two 155 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.879 extraordinary young men, James Byron, the President and Chief executive 156 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.759 Order of the Nixon Foundation, and Chris Barbara, the young 157 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:17.480 marketing directors who have launched an extraordinary online campaign they 158 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:22.919 call Nixon Maxing. Nixon Maxing is the order of the 159 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.320 day and has caused an extraordinary review of Richard Nixon, 160 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:33.039 Watergate and his presidency. Check it out online. Meanwhile, a 161 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.799 federal appeals court has cleared the way for the release 162 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.759 of recordings between former President Joe Biden and his ghostwriter 163 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:45.000 Mark Zwannitzer, tapes that could provide new insight into Biden's 164 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:49.080 memory and his handling of classified information. Now, when Richard 165 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.919 Nixon went to court to try to block the release 166 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.200 of his tapes, he lost nine to zero in the 167 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.720 US Supreme Court. I'm not sure why Joe Biden's lawyers 168 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.840 thought that he should be treated differently. The Harris Foundation 169 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.559 and the Oversight Project sought the recordings in federal court 170 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:13.000 after Special counsel Robert Hur's twenty twenty four report revealed 171 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.399 troubling details about his interview with Joe Biden. During his 172 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:22.600 investigation under Biden's handling of classified documents, Herr wrote that 173 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.879 Joe Biden showed significant memory limitations and appeared unable to 174 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.639 recall major dates, including when he served as Vice president 175 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.080 and when his son, bo Biden died. Biden attempted to 176 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.600 block the Justice Department from releasing the material, but a 177 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.279 divided appeals court rejected that request, ruling that he had 178 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.639 not shown the recordings were legally required to remain secret. 179 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.159 The court temporarily extended an injunction to August third, allowing 180 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.279 time for another appeal. These recordings matter because her declined 181 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.559 to prosecate Biden over the classified documents found in his home, 182 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:04.960 his garage, and his offices. Her concluded that a jury 183 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.519 might view Biden as a sympathetic, elderly man with a 184 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.759 poor memory who could struggle to find that he acted willfully. 185 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.919 How then you might ask was he fit to be 186 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.320 president of the United States? While the Biden Department aggressively 187 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.679 prosecuted Donald Trump over classified documents and his retention of them, 188 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.399 which I can see under the Presidential Records Act was 189 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.879 presently legal, Biden escaped charges partly because the prosecutors believed 190 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.879 his mental condition made conviction unlikely. Of course, at this time, 191 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.960 the public was assuredly repeated over and over again that 192 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.000 Joe Biden's mental fitness was fine, and they were told 193 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.399 that if we did not ignore the true starings of 194 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:49.080 the face, we were conspiracy theorists. Vice President Kamala Harris 195 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:53.519 said Joe Biden was sharp as attack. Americans should not 196 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.120 be left in the dark any longer. I think we 197 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.919 deserve to hear the evidence for ourselves. Written transcripts, of course, 198 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:06.000 cannot capture hesitation, confusion, tone, or cognitive decline. The government 199 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.120 should not protect the political class from embarrassment. Transparency here 200 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:15.679 is essential, especially when questions involve presidential fitness, classified information, 201 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.840 and unequal justice. This information could prove crucial improving the 202 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.519 invalidity of Joe Biden's autopen pardons as well. It's time 203 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.519 to release the tapes and let the public decide. I'm 204 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.919 Roger Stone. You're listening to the Stone Zone. I see 205 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.960 Joe Biden has just released his new biography, and I 206 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.759 have to wonder did the autopen write that too. Don't 207 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.320 go away, We'll be right. 208 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.759 Back the Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red 209 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:55.519 Apple podcast networks. 210 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:04.480 He's the Stone Zone now of his zone. It's the 211 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:05.559 Stone Zone. 212 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.639 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, 213 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.960 and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him. 214 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.440 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him. 215 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.320 Rogers Stone, where's ros Here's Rogerstone. 216 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.279 You're back in the Stone Zone. While New York City 217 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.720 Mayor Zoram Mam Doomi apparently believes that governing America's largest 218 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.080 city is insufficient for his ambitions. So while New Yorkers 219 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:38.039 contend with crime, disorder, homelessness, deteriorating public services, crushing taxes, 220 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:42.240 failing schools, and an exodus of business and productive citizens, 221 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.399 ma'am Domi has decided to audition for the role of 222 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.039 international prosecutor. Ma'am Domi's announced that his administration examine whether 223 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.200 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett. Yahoo can be arrested if 224 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.279 he travels to New York for the United States General 225 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:02.480 Assembly in September. Is called the Yahoo War criminal belongs 226 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.200 before the International Criminal Court in the Hague, and has 227 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.720 consulted the city's legal advisors about what authority, if any, 228 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.159 New York possesses to detain him. My good friend sid 229 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.840 Rosenberg was great on this. This is not serious governance. 230 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.159 This is ideological theater performed at the expense of New 231 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.720 York City's reputation, constitutional order, and a relationship with one 232 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.440 of America's most important allies. New York City is not 233 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.639 an independent nation. City Hall does not conduct American foreign policy. 234 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.480 The New York City Police Department is not Mandami's personal 235 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.360 international law enforcement agency. The mayor does not possess the 236 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.639 authority to transform municipal law enforcement officers into agents of 237 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.720 a foreign tribunal that the United States doesn't even recognize. 238 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.159 The United States is not party to the International Criminal Court. 239 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.480 American officials have repeated rejected its claimed jurisdictions over American citizens, 240 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:05.640 leaders of country outside its trading system, federal law, diplomatic protections, 241 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.880 head of state immunity, and America's obligations as hosts of 242 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.720 the United Nations. All stand between Mam Dommie's rhetoric and 243 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.000 the dangerous spectacle he pairs eager to create New York 244 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.519 Governor Kathy Hochele's priviles. He said the mayor does not 245 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.720 have the power to arrest Netanyahu. United States Ambassadors to 246 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.039 the United Nations Mike Walt's a good friend of mine 247 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.559 correctly dismissed ma'am Dami's proposal as political theater. Israeli Ambassador 248 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.599 Danny Denone has also condemned the Mayor's fixation on Netanyau 249 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.640 or New York faces domestic problems. They recognize that ma'am 250 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.920 Nami either does not understand or doesn't care to admit, 251 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.640 and that is the mayor cannot seize control of America's 252 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.599 foreign relations merely because he discovered that an anti Israel 253 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.319 grandstanding attracts applause for the radical left. 254 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.200 The Stone Zone entertaining and informing on the Red Apple 255 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:02.440 podcast network. 256 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.599 This is the Stone Zone. Now get him a zone. 257 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.519 It's the Stone Zone. 258 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.680 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, 259 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.920 and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him. 260 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.359 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him. Roger Stone, 261 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.319 Where's Rogers? 262 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.799 Here's Rogerstone. 263 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.920 Welcome back into the Stone Zone. When I emerged from 264 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.319 my Washington, DC hotel last Thursday, I thought I was 265 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.960 going to choke on the smoke thick as pea soup, 266 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.680 and learned only then that the smoke came from fires 267 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.680 in Canada. Now President Donald Trump is putting America first again, 268 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:58.680 this time by confronting Canada over trade policy's unfairly target 269 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:03.640 America workers manufacturers. Trump has ordered a fifty percent terrified 270 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:09.759 a wide range of Canadian imports, including wine, dairy products, cement, 271 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.480 and even hockey sticks. These duties will take effect thirty 272 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.440 days after the proclamation was signed. Administration says Canada has 273 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.839 also discriminated against American motor vehicles and autoparts by imposing 274 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.000 special tariffs on US products while treating goods from other 275 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.759 countries more favorably. President Trump is also authorized under the 276 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.000 tear Factor of nineteen thirty two the level of the 277 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.720 playing field. These tariffs will apply even to covered goods 278 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:43.799 that would normally qualify under the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. However, 279 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:49.160 important imports such as energy, potash, certain fish critical minerals 280 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.319 and products already subject to separate national security tariffs will 281 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.519 be exempted under the Trump administration. America has rediscovered that 282 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.200 foreign governments cannot be allowed to utilized American companies while 283 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.039 enjoying unrestricted access to US markets. The so called free 284 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.640 trade and free market consensus allowed our country to get 285 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.079 hollowed out for decades. It sounded great on paper, but 286 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.599 we never really had free trade. Under these heretical doctrines. 287 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.920 Washington politicians accepted one sided trade arrangements. They destroyed the 288 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.279 manufacturing base that created the middle class, and we lost 289 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:31.920 millions of jobs. In the name of global cooperation. We 290 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:36.079 got poor and our enemies got richard. President Trump is 291 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.960 sending a different message these days. He understands access to 292 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.079 America's consumers as a privilege, not right. Ken It remains 293 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.359 an important neighbor and ally, but friendship does not require 294 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.720 surrendering America's economic interests to our neighbors. When another country 295 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.960 discriminates against US products, the answer should be firm, immediate, 296 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.880 and proportional. These tariffs are to defend American manufacturing, demand 297 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.079 fair treatment, and remind our trading partners that the era 298 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.880 of America being taken as a suffer is over and 299 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.480 now the President is threatening additional tariffs because they cannot 300 00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.559 manage their force and because Americas and cities as far 301 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.519 flong as Detroit, Washington, d C. Not to mention New 302 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:27.160 York City, are choking on thick smoke from Canadian wildfires. Meanwhile, 303 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.240 President Donald Trump has made a wise decision announce that 304 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.359 he's going to extend the National Guard mission in Washington 305 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.279 Sate through January twentieth of twenty twenty nine. For Americans 306 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.480 who believe that public safety is the government's primary responsibility, 307 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.279 this is basic common sense. I was just in Washington, 308 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.839 d Cate I must savy. It has never seen it 309 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.839 cleaner or safer than it is today. The Guard was 310 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.319 deployed after years of rising disorder, car theft, robberies, and 311 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.000 violence in our nation's capital. Since then, police statistics covered 312 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:05.240 January through mid July show that homicides are down thirty 313 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:10.039 eight percent, robberies are down eighteen percent, motor vehicle thefts 314 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.640 are down fifty three percent, property crimes are down twenty 315 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:17.519 three percent, and total crime overall is down twenty percent 316 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.160 compared with the exact same period in last year. National 317 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.079 Guard leaders also report that troops will help save more 318 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:28.559 than two hundred and thirty five lives, provided over five 319 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:32.559 hundred and thirty medicalists, and united children with their families 320 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.799 twenty seven times. These are measurable results which show that 321 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.079 out of control crime and Democrat run cities is a 322 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:46.160 policy choice, not a consequence of inequity or institutional racism, 323 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:51.440 or whatever other nonsense liberals may dream up using the 324 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.039 National Guard to fight crime. Our nation's capitalist money well spent. 325 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.519 In my opinion, violent crime, stolen property, collapsing tourism, and 326 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.960 unsafe streets carry enormous costs. A crime is stopped, ordinary 327 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.240 people are able to prosper and thrive. More people are 328 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.000 willing to go out and patronize local businesses. After all, 329 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.880 Washington disease just not another city. It is the seat 330 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.319 of the federal government, any destination for millions of American 331 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:21.640 families who want to celebrate our nation's history. Some local 332 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.359 Democrat politicians are complaining that uniform officers are a bad 333 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.680 look or bad optics. I'll tell you what's a truly 334 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.920 bad look, Allowing the nation's capital to become a dangerous 335 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.119 healthscape while corrupt officials make excuses and line their pockets. 336 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:43.000 Safety is not authoritarianism. Abandoning citizens to preventable violence is 337 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.240 a failure of leadership. The National Guard is supporting law enforcement, 338 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:52.240 protecting residents, and helping restore order until local leaders can 339 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.720 guarantee the same results on their own. Continuing the National 340 00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:01.119 Guard deployment is a no brainer for the rule of law. Meanwhile, 341 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.480 Senator Ram Paul says that newly released federal documents are 342 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:09.799 raising disturbing questions about whether the FBI blocked border officials 343 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:14.839 from question a key figure connected to controversial coronavirus research 344 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.079 in China. Senator Ram Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland 345 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.359 Security Committee, says that the Customs in Border Protection flagged 346 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:28.160 Eco Health Alliance president Peter Dazik as an extremely high 347 00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.759 person of interest before he returned from China through New 348 00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:35.599 York's JFK Airport in February twenty twenty one. Court to 349 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:40.160 the documents, the border patrol officials were prepared to question 350 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:46.000 Dazik and searches electronic devices. Their concerns reportedly included his 351 00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:52.640 long standing relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and 352 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.519 his role in overseeing federal grants were back coronavirus research 353 00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:02.359 and the agency's belief that substanti funding supported gain of 354 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:07.680 fundamental research. But an internal email dated February fourth, twenty 355 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.839 twenty one, reportedly instructed the Border patrol not to stop 356 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.440 him because the New York FBI office had requested that 357 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.119 he be allowed to pass on question. As a result, 358 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.880 Senator Paul says, the planned question and search of doctor 359 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.359 Sayk never happened. Now, I think they should concern every 360 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.400 American think about it. At the height of the global pandemic, 361 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.079 federal officials had an opportunity to examine a man deeply 362 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.839 connected to research at the center of the COVID origin debate, 363 00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:44.440 and another federal edgency allegedly shut that opportunity down. This 364 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.079 was a cover up. The deep State wanted the official 365 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.400 story to persist so that they could blame it on 366 00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:54.000 President Donald Trump in an attempt to railroad him, which 367 00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:58.200 eventually led to the election steal of twenty twenty.
