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 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.320 This is the Stone Zone. Now get him his zone. 4 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.079 It's the Stone Zone. 5 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.120 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going 6 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.280 and he's smart, and he's strong, and. 7 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.039 People love him. Not everybody, but people love him and 8 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.600 respect him. Roger Stone. 9 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:34.320 Where's Roger. 10 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.759 Here's Roger Stone. 11 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.280 Welcome into the Stone Zone. We have bombshell developments today 12 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.880 and the seth Rich case. You may remember. Seth Rich 13 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.600 was the Democrat National Committee staffer who was brutally and 14 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.479 mysteriously murdered shortly after information from the Democrat National Committee 15 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.159 allegedly handed up in the hands of Wiki leagues. Of course, 16 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.280 Robert Mother and those in the deep State invented the 17 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.640 false narrative that the Democrat National Committee had been hacked 18 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.799 by a Russian online hacker. It was at my trial 19 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.439 that the FBI was forced to admit that they had 20 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.640 never inspected the computer servers of the Democratic National Committee. 21 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.719 In fact, there is to this day no proof whatsoever 22 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.680 that the DNC was hacked by the Russians or anyone else. 23 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.920 For many years, there has been speculation that seth Rich 24 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.280 was the leaker of that information, but the FBI has 25 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.519 stoutly denied that they had any information in their files 26 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.560 regarding seth Rich's murder. Today, we learned from an attorney 27 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:50.400 pursuing this case that the FBI has found previously hidden 28 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:57.439 at the FBI headquarters substantial, allegedly thousands of records regarding 29 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.400 seth Rich's murder that were linked to back to the 30 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.680 twenty sixteen Crossfire Hurricane investigation. This course is the second 31 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.800 time that the FBI has found records in burn bags 32 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.639 that related to that investigation. Now, these have not been 33 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.159 released yet. We don't know what the FBI will agree 34 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.599 to release, but this is bombshell information and an important 35 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.080 case that I think blows the cover on the entire 36 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.960 Russian collusion hoax. Once again. We already know, based on 37 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.280 the disclosures by the former Director of National Intelligence, Telsey Gabbard, 38 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:42.680 that the Russian collusion claims were a hoax invented by 39 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.400 the Biden administration or probably by the Obama administration, beginning 40 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.800 in twenty sixteen, and in one continuous, seditious conspiracy. Since 41 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.039 that time, the FBI has gradually and slowly admitted to 42 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.879 having data regarding seth Rich. They first denied having anything. 43 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.759 Then they denied having his work laptop or an image 44 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.879 of his personal laptop or any other information. Nonetheless, over 45 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.400 time they have slowly admitted a much greater knowledge. Perhaps 46 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.400 Joe di Genova's grand jury investigation now going on in 47 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.719 South Florida can put the heat on these very same players. 48 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.439 So this is a developing story and one of the 49 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.199 hottest stories in American politics. For many years, no one 50 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.599 would cover the question of Seth Rich's murder. We're going 51 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.800 to be following this one very very closely, but this 52 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.439 is a breakthrough today. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is in 53 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.560 Turkey today for the NATO summit, where he's doing what 54 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.599 he does best, putting America first and not taking any 55 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.240 nonsense from our so called allies. You'll recall on President 56 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.599 Trump's first term, he got our NATO allies to cough 57 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.240 up six hundred and fifty million dollars in past due 58 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.159 dues they owed to the organization. They had essentially been 59 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.360 taking Uncle Sam for a sucker as we paid for 60 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.000 their national defense. Now, personally, I understood the importance of 61 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.599 NATO in the aftermath of World War Two, when Europe 62 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.319 was devastated and America was still economically relatively strong. But 63 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.240 over time it has never made sense to me that 64 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.120 while America had economic problems, we had continued to pay 65 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.000 for the defense of our NATO allies when they didn't 66 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.720 pay their fair share. Talk about consistency. When Donald Trump 67 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.240 traveled to New Hampshire in nineteen eighty eight at my 68 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.639 suggestion to kind of test the waters for a potential 69 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.839 presidential bid, something that Trump decided on his own was premature. 70 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.319 He spoke about this in his lunch and speech to 71 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.920 the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce. So this is 72 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.439 not a new theme for the present. He continues to 73 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:04.160 be a critic of NATO, more precisely and more recently 74 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.639 in our actions both in Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, 75 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.920 when our NATO allies did not allow us to use 76 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.680 the US bases that we bought and paid for in 77 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.519 their countries. Yes, I'm talking about you, Italy. So the 78 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.680 President is at a contentious meeting year in Ancora with 79 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.920 our NATO allies. While meeting with the Turkish president Airtigan, 80 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.279 a man Trump has always praised as a strong leader 81 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.600 and a friend, the President dropped some major bombshells announcing 82 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.800 the United States will be lifting the sanctions on Turkey 83 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.279 that were important place after they bought Russian defense systems. 84 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.600 He also said he'd be seriously considered selling them F 85 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.519 thirty five fighter jets. Again. Trump didn't stop there, however, 86 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.519 He went on to address the rest of NATO, blasting 87 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.959 the European countries for refusing to let America give America 88 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.120 help when we needed them in Iran, even after we 89 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.319 spent literally trillions protecting them for decades. The President made 90 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.720 crystal clear he's disappointed with NATO and he's openly considered 91 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.000 pulling American troops out of Europe. Personally, I think that's 92 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.519 a great idea. As he put it, if the summit 93 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.279 was in Turkey with his friend arrogant, he might not 94 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.639 even have shown up. This is classic Trump calling out 95 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.399 the free loading Europeans refused to pull their own weight 96 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.439 while making smart, transactional deals that put america interests first. 97 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.680 No more America getting taken advantage of one more Uncle 98 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.680 Sam playing to the sucker. America first is back and 99 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.639 real leverage is being used to get results. The mainstream 100 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.680 media may hate it, but this is exactly how you 101 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.319 put America up in a position of strength once again. Meanwhile, 102 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.279 Democrats seemed to be in full damage control in Maine, 103 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.480 where Senate candidate Graham Plattner is now facing a political 104 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.319 collapse after a woman who previously dated him alleged that 105 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.279 he raped her twenty twenty one. Platners, of course challenging 106 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.560 Susan Collins, a veteran Republican senator who's thought to be 107 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.360 among the most vulnerable incumbents in the country. Given the 108 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.959 expected closeness and competitiveness of the twenty six elections, This 109 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.519 main race was marked by Democrats as one of their 110 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.879 key opportunities for a pickup, but that seems to have 111 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.800 collapsed when the sitting governor of Maine withdrew from the 112 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.000 race and they nominated Graham Plattner, a very strange individual 113 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.040 as a Nazi tattoo and a very storied history very odd. 114 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.120 Platin of course denies these latest allegations, but the fallout 115 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.319 has been swift. Arizona Senator Reuben Galago, himself under federal 116 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:54.120 investigation for misuse of campaign funds and rather racy lifestyle, 117 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.920 resented his endorsement, calling the allegations troubling and deeply serious. 118 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.360 California congress Rowe Kanna I went further, saying sexual assault 119 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.199 is a red line and urged Platner to drop out. 120 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.800 Our Revolution That's the progressive group born out of Bernie 121 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.639 Sanders twenty sixty campaign also pulled its support and called 122 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.560 on Platner to withdraw Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. A 123 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.800 Democratic National Senatorial Committee chair Christin Gillibrand of New York 124 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.480 said the allegations are incredibly disturbing and warned that the 125 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.000 Democrat Senate Campaign Committee will not invest in the main 126 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.840 Senate race of Platner remains on the ballot, so you 127 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.360 see one of their best chances in the country collapsing 128 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.360 in the state of Maine. Susan Collins a more moderate 129 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.960 Republican but a long time friend of mine. I would 130 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.759 rather have a senator who's with you sixty five to 131 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.879 seventy percent of the time rather than a radical progressive 132 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.919 life Platner who's with you zero percent of the time. 133 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.279 In this case, the alleged victim won. Jenny Rascott told 134 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.440 Politico she had on and offer relationship with Platiner, and 135 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.799 a leegency came to her rural main home uninvited while 136 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:09.360 drunk and rape her. Despite repeated objections, Platner has adamantly 137 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.120 denied the claim, but there have been too many scandals 138 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.600 for him to overcome. For Democrats, the political damage is 139 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.919 undeniable any serious standing on the party, whether Platner abdicates 140 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.759 or not. This is the latest in an array of 141 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.039 scandals surrounding at the candidate the left. Once promoted as 142 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.919 a fresh standard bearer of political change. Democrats have spent 143 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.720 years lecturing the country about believing women and moral accountability. 144 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.799 They have said to believe all women, But now Platner 145 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.279 refuses to budge and stays in the race all the 146 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.240 way till November. They'll be put between a rock and 147 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.559 a hard place, and that's not voting well for their 148 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.799 mid team chances in Maine or across the country. Meanwhile, 149 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.200 President Donald Trump pronounced Monday that Walmart will lower prices 150 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.200 on a range of everyday products after a request from 151 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.279 Trump administration trying to move to America's Upcome twenty fifth, 152 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.600 two hundred and fifth birthday celebration that was last weekend. Actually, 153 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.240 President Trump said that Walmart will cut the price of 154 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.399 ground beef, for example, by fifteen percent along with reductions 155 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.519 on other key products. He praised the company as one 156 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.600 of America's biggest, best, and smartest retailers, calling Walmart a 157 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.919 patriotic company. It loves the United States. For millions of 158 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.039 working Americans who shop at Walmart, this is welcome news 159 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.480 after years of painful inflation under Joe Biden, Americans have 160 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.480 been desperate for relief at the grocery store, the gas pump, 161 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.960 and the pharmacy counter. Whether or not Republicans are successful 162 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.679 and the midterm elections will enge very much on whether 163 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.200 by November they feel that they have gotten that relief. 164 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.879 President Trump says his administration is already delivering. He points 165 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.440 to the falling oil and gas prices, lower egg prices, 166 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.039 and efforts to bring down prescription drug prices. He also 167 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.120 noted that it was the previous administration who caused the 168 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.320 worst inflation crisis in history, along with Biden's failures at 169 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.639 the southern border and the disaster withdrawal of Afghanistan and 170 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.240 the death of Americans there. President Trump's strong leadership and 171 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.559 willingness to fight for the people shows that when leaders 172 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.879 put America first, businesses are forced to respond. Free market 173 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.720 as we have been sold by Washingt DC egg head 174 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.480 economists is a lie. Unfortunately, President Trump is using the 175 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.559 bully pulpit to push major retailers to help consumers directly. 176 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.600 Lar Market is stepping up. President Trump is urging other 177 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.240 retailers to follow its sleeve. As we continue celebrating two 178 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.200 hundred and fifty years of American independence. This is exactly 179 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.519 the kind of patriotic partnership voters want to see between 180 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.000 the public and private sectors. It's resulting in lower prices 181 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.159 and stronger businesses because we finally have a government focused 182 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.519 on helping American families. Just like in Britain with Brexit, 183 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.480 Nigel Faraj won't stop him. He achieves the victory. We 184 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.320 the Stonehome wish him the best in his endeavors to 185 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.000 make Britain great again. Nigel Farage is thrown down the 186 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.559 gauntlet in the UK to the political establishment. His Reform 187 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.799 UK leadership party announced that he will resign as a 188 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.960 member of Parliament, triggering a by election he plans to 189 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.000 contest himself. Farage, who won that seat in twenty twenty four, 190 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.440 says the vote will be a direct test of whether 191 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.440 the voters or the insiders at Westminster get the final 192 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.399 say he calls it a people versus the establishment by 193 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.279 election that's a special election, and said it's a chance 194 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.399 for ordinary citizens to push back against political elites and 195 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.720 a hostile press. This important symbolic move comes as Farage 196 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.360 faces scrutiny over his personal finances and political donations, including 197 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.159 a five million pound gift from a cryptocurrency businessman named 198 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.039 Christopher Harborn, and some questions about support for a long 199 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.720 time associate George Cottrell. Farage denies any wrong in doings, 200 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.759 say he's broken the laws and the allegations are part 201 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.279 of an ongoing establis plishment campaign to discredit him and 202 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.559 his Reform UK movement. We see democracy frame at the 203 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.559 edges in the UK. Once the cradle of free speech 204 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.519 and democracy, today in the UK it is illegal to 205 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.519 quest radical Islam, for which you will be prosecuted, and 206 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:19.879 we have seen not only citizens but even school children 207 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.039 arrested and prosecuted over such actions. Farage has called out 208 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.759 sections of the media targeting his family, including his daughter, 209 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.879 and as the news coverage has intensified, this move to 210 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.120 design his seat and go to a special by election 211 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.639 as a test is a police of political piece of 212 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.360 political genius and I'm looking forward to that contest. Thanks 213 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.519 for joining us today. The Stone Zone will be back 214 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.799 with more political news, including this great bombshell story regarding 215 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.600 Seth Rich. I'll be back on the other side. So 216 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.279 whatever you do, don't go away. 217 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.799 The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 218 00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.960 podcast Network. 219 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.840 This is the Stone Zone. Now get in a zone. 220 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.799 It's the Stone Zone. 221 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.600 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, 222 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.720 and he's smart, and he's strong. 223 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.399 And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him 224 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.080 and respect him. 225 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:33.080 Roger Stone, where's Rogers? Here's Rogerstone, and you're back in 226 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.000 the Stone Zone. A new federal lawsuit alleges that the 227 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:42.639 Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, treated thousands of unvaccinated employees 228 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:47.840 and contractors like counterintelligence threats after President Joe Biden imposed 229 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.480 his COVID nineteen vaccination mandate back in twenty twenty one. 230 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.320 According to this new complaint, filed on June thirtieth in 231 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.320 federal court in Virginia, the CIA's chief operating officer directed 232 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:02.639 the agency's Counter s Spionage department to investigate every worker 233 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.120 and contractor who refused to take the shot. Lawmakers say 234 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.600 those Americans were treated as threats to the United States 235 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.279 coverment simply because they made a personal medical decision not 236 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.840 to take an incredibly dangerous, rushed and experimental vaccination which 237 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.000 had never been put through trials, and the makers of 238 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:25.159 whom had no legal liability. The plaintiffs say a cross 239 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.080 agency group created under former Director of National Intelligence Telsey Gabbard, 240 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.879 learned of the order from a whistleblower in twenty twenty five, 241 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.120 then asked the CIA to confirm it. According to complaint, 242 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.559 the agency confirmed thousands had been investigated, but did not 243 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:45.200 cite the legal authority to do so. One unvaccinated employee, 244 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.360 James erdman I, who became a very celebrated whistleblower before 245 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.960 a Senate testimony, asked the CIA to purge investigation related 246 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.960 material from personnel files. Lawyers say the agency never responded, 247 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.279 prompting this newly filed lawsuit. No affected workers have reportedly 248 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.360 been fired, but attorneys warned the existence of those files 249 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:12.080 could haunt employees and contractors for years. They're essentially creating 250 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.720 dossiers against people who believe in their fundamental rights. This 251 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.720 is a stolid esque policy that could very well lead 252 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.240 to abuses such as purges Offens for Freedom, a group 253 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.679 co funded by Erdman, is backing the case and says 254 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.200 that national security professionals should never face counter espionage scrutiny, 255 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.799 for it is a private medical decision. The Biben era 256 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.000 COVID regime weaponized institutions like the CIA to go after 257 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.440 vaccinine refuses. This is an outrage, but should not come 258 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.519 as a surprise to anyone who understands how the government operates. 259 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.279 They want more power for themselves, and they'll stop it 260 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.080 nothing to achieve it, even if it means innocent lives 261 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.159 are crushed in their efforts to do so. Also coming 262 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.039 up in the Stone Zone more troubling COVID related news, 263 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.600 as a report is raising series questions about what federal 264 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:05.720 health bureaucrats knew before the world fairly un fully understood 265 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.599 the dreaded Chinese virus. We're going to talk about emails 266 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:14.400 obtained by the Oversight Project reportedly showing the NIH and 267 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.440 other HHS officials were reviewing taxpayer funded grants connected to 268 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:24.640 one doctor Xiao Yu Sen, the Chinese military researcher tied 269 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:28.200 to the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, as early as 270 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.839 February of twenty twenty. That doctor Zal later filed one 271 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:35.720 of the first COVID nineteen vaccination patents in February of 272 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:40.400 twenty four. That timeline has long alarmed congressional investigators. Developing 273 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.880 such a vaccine so quickly would likely require much earlier 274 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.960 access to the virus sequence, the live virus, or both. 275 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.960 That doctor died under unusual circumstances in twenty twenty, perhaps 276 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.839 to shut him up because he knew too much. This 277 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.440 is the kind of bombshell news. You're here only in 278 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.759 the Stone Zone. Thanks for joining us. We'll be right 279 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.839 back with more politics on the other side, including an 280 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.599 update on how President Donald Trump is doing at the 281 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.440 NATO conference in Turkey, where we just got a fresh report. 282 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.519 Listening to the Stone Zone, I'm Roger Stone. Whatever you do, 283 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.680 stick with us. 284 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.400 The Stone Zone Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple 285 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.640 podcast Network. 286 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.599 This is the Stone Zone. Now get in the zone. 287 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.359 It's the Stone Zone. 288 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.480 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, 289 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.680 and he's smart, and he's strong. 290 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.319 And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him 291 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:48.960 and respect him. Rogers Stone. 292 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.799 Where's Rogers? 293 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.279 Here's Rogerstone. 294 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.119 Welcome back into the Stone zone. This new report by 295 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.119 the Oversight Project headed by Mike cow was really shocking 296 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.839 and the concern is obvious. Under doctor Anthony Fauci's leadership, 297 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:09.160 American taxpayer dollars were flowing into research networks connected to China, 298 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.359 including institutions linked to the People's Liberation Army and the 299 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:17.640 Wuhan Institute of Virology. Yet, when lawmakers asked Fauci whether 300 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.480 it concerned him that US funds could have reached a 301 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.039 high ranking Chinese military official, Fauci said he did not 302 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.799 even know the person being discussed, one of his many 303 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.480 disgraceful eyes under oath to the American people. Of course, 304 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:35.000 doctor Fauci has gotten a preemptive federal pardon by Joe Biden, 305 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.440 but that pardon was signed with an auto pen. Still 306 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.279 believe it should be tested in the American courts. This 307 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.720 is how this works. The Department of Justice simply charges 308 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.480 Fauci with violation of the False Statements Act before the Congress. 309 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.799 Fauci's lawyers would respond by saying that he's immune from 310 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:58.720 this prosecution because of his pardon. The government would argue 311 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.920 that the pardon who's not valid because it was signed 312 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.640 by auto pen and then the defense would have to 313 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.160 produce Joe Biden himself say that he knew about and 314 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.920 authorize that particular pardon and the use of the autoped 315 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.880 something I find highly unlikely. Why that hasn't happened, I 316 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.200 don't even know. For years now, the Americans like may 317 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.960 we call conspiracy theorists if we even dared to ask 318 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:30.599 hard questions about COVID's origins, Chinese secrecy, or taxpayer funded research. Now, 319 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.880 as document after document surfaces, those questions look more justified 320 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.680 than ever to me. The public deserves transparency, accountability in 321 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.440 a fuller county of every dollar spent overseas, particularly if 322 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.279 our American taxpayers were used to weaponize the COVID nineteen virus. 323 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:52.839 Public also deserves heads up as what other crimes were 324 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.400 perpetrated during the COVID nineteen pan pandemic. This is not 325 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.599 water under the bridge. These were untolerable acts that damage 326 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.440 that will impact our society for generations. It's time for 327 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.160 heads to roll figuratively, perhaps literally as well, but we 328 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.559 do need to get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, 329 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.160 New York City's public school system is facing a devastating 330 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.680 indictment and taxpayers once again deserve answers. A new report 331 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.799 from the Success Academy, entitled by any Ones Measure, says 332 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.400 that nearly nine hundred city public schools are failing to 333 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:31.720 properly educate our children. According to the report, nine hundred 334 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.599 and six schools had fewer than half their students proficient 335 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.680 in math, reading, or both on last year's New York 336 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:43.119 state exams. That means roughly forty three percent of the 337 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.519 city's nine hundred and twelve public school students are stuck 338 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.519 in schools where basic academic achievements are not the norm. 339 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.359 This shocking report argues that failure has been allowed to 340 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:59.240 become normalized through great inflation, weak accountability, and of course, 341 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.279 ever growing spending. New York City reportedly spent about forty 342 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.640 billion dollars on public education in twenty twenty four, or 343 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.759 roughly thirty six thousand dollars per student, about twice the 344 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:16.039 national average. Yet many of the worst performing schools continue 345 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:21.279 receiving high levels of funding even as enrollment declines. Researchers 346 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.079 found five hundred and three schools where most students failed 347 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:28.599 both math and reading assessments. Some have been listed as 348 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:33.799 struggling for years, indeed even decades. The report also criticizes 349 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.680 the Mamdomi administration's class sized reduction mandate, saying billions are 350 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.599 being poured into schools with shrinking enrollment and little evidence 351 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:47.839 of improved results. Success Academy founder Eva Moskowitz says that 352 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.960 this is the most comprehensive look at chronic failure in 353 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:55.039 America's single largest school system. It is clear that more 354 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:58.759 money is not fixing our broken schools. Parents I think 355 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:04.200 need transparency, accountability, and an end to great inflation and 356 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.240 more access to successful charter schools to be able to 357 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.119 give educational opportunities to their children. Unfortunately, under the ma'am 358 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.240 Domi administration, they'll be going radically in the opposite direction, 359 00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:21.640 I suspect, with cataclismic results. Here's an updated report from 360 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:27.160 the NATO meeting in Turkey. As President Trump appears at 361 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.559 the NATO summit ankrupt, his administration is once again making 362 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:35.079 it clear America is done carrying Europe's defense burden alone. 363 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.799 US Ambassador NATO Matthew Whitaker, a former Acting Attorney General 364 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.599 of the United States and a good friend of mine, 365 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.680 told c NBC that Washington's goal is for Europe to 366 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.680 take over the conventional defense of the European continent. His 367 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:52.240 message was blunt, as he stated, We're not going away, 368 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.200 We're just going to be doing less. That's exactly the 369 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.720 kind of America First realism that I think voters elected 370 00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.720 President Trump to deliver. For decades, American taxpayers have helped 371 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.400 bankwell the defense of wealthy European nations that all too 372 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:10.960 often fail to meet even NATO's old two percent spending target. 373 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.480 Last year, President Trump pushed our allies to go much further, 374 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.519 calling for NATO members to spend up to five percent 375 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.839 of their GDP on defense. Now, during this NATO summit, 376 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:27.519 European officials are scrambling to show progress. Diplomats say allies 377 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.200 will highlight increased defense spending, new industrial cooperation, and more 378 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.920 support for Ukraine. Some European NATO countries are reportedly boosting 379 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:41.119 military spending at the fastest pace in decades. This, of course, 380 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.160 is a new development. While this is in an accident, 381 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:47.039 it's the result of the pressure from President Donald Trump. 382 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:50.519 European nations may huff and puff now that their free 383 00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.359 ride is over, but this is to be expected. Like 384 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.079 when you take candy away from a cat fat child. 385 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.160 They react poorly, but ultimately it's for the best. With 386 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.920 Russia still threatening European security and the war in Ukraine 387 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.599 dragging on, NATO members must actually bring military capability to 388 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:13.160 the table, not just speeches and photo ops. President Trump 389 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.319 has exerted his dominance now over NATO and their arrogance. 390 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.400 In my opinion, will no longer be tolerated. Time to 391 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.720 pay their fair share. We might as well just leave 392 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.680 NATO for good. Fact, I don't think that's the worst 393 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.119 idea I've ever heard. Meanwhile, is a proof that tariffs 394 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.200 really do work. Toyota is bringing more manufacturing money back 395 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.319 to the United States, and President Trump is calling exactly 396 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.359 what it is, pointing out that tariffs actually work. The 397 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.319 automaker announced a three point six billion dollar expansion in 398 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.960 its San Antonio, Texas assembly plant. This is a major 399 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:53.200 investment expected to create roughly two thousand new jobs. The 400 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.200 project will add a second vehicle assembly line and allow 401 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:01.640
