WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.880 Talk show on the planet. Do you remember Mike Lindell, 2 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:18.399 the My Pillow guy. Mike Lindell had an impressive story 3 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.480 of being a recovered drug addict who turned his life 4 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.640 to Christ that I still choose to believe. But Mike 5 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.199 Lindell pumped three million dollars into building a social media 6 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.119 platform that was supposed to compete with Twitter, back before 7 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.399 Elon Musk owned Twitter, when it was still a site 8 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:43.479 of censorship and cancelation. He put three million dollars into 9 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.880 this new social media platform. He collected hundreds of thousands 10 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.399 of names of new sign ups, and on the day 11 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.280 that it went live, of course, it crashed. The guys 12 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.479 who charged him three million dollars told me it had 13 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.039 been hacked by the Chinese, but my sources tell me otherwise. 14 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.640 Then he went on an election integrity crusade. He had 15 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.280 a huge election integrity conference where he promised the world 16 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.719 that he would produce definitive evidence that the twenty twenty 17 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.319 election was stolen, paid some former intelligence as almost two 18 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.000 million dollars. But even Steve Bannon, his buddy, criticized Mike 19 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.079 for not being able to produce the goods. Well, now, 20 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.760 Mike Lindell, whose Pillow Empire went bankrupt, is running for 21 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.879 governor of Minnesota, an office that quite candidly, I think 22 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.000 he is the one Republican who probably cannot win based 23 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.840 on polling. But what I find interesting is that his 24 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.840 position on immigration, when he announced his candidacy in December 25 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.879 of twenty twenty five, said he favored strict enforcement, focusing 26 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.000 on opposing sanctuary policies, supported border security and ICE cooperation 27 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.959 to remove criminal illegals. He would protect resources for citizens, 28 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.439 he said, legal residents. If you're here illegally, he said, 29 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.400 now is the time to leave or you will be 30 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.840 sent back. Then President Trump endorsed him about a week ago. 31 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.439 Now suddenly Mike Lindell has a new position. Now he's 32 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.120 saying that he favors a one time six month registration window, 33 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.840 a moratorium for any non criminal illegal to stay in Minnesota, 34 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.520 conditioning on expiring work of easus. You have to be 35 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.879 fingerprinted and background checked. This is a political flip flop 36 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.520 I would never have expected from Mike Lindell. But then, 37 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.719 Mike Lindell has disappointed me before. When we learned that 38 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:47.080 Steve Bannon was the subject of nineteen hundred emails exchanged 39 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.199 with Jeffrey Epstein, who had been working closely with Epstein 40 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.719 to rehabilitate his public image. Well, Mike Lindell continued to 41 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.960 associate with Bannon, so I guess I should not be 42 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.439 surprised anyway. The House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has now 43 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.560 referred Special Counsel Jack Smith. Jack Smith is the special 44 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.159 counsel who ran the raid on mar Lago and essentially 45 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.879 was the key man in the tsunami of law Fair, 46 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.000 in which they tried to destroy Donald Trump. They tried 47 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.960 to break him financially, they tried to keep him off 48 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.000 the ballot, they tried to put him in jail. But 49 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.960 now Smith himself has been referred to the Justice Department 50 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.479 for criminal prosecution. I used to think that the Russian 51 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.439 collusion hoax was the greatest single dirty trick in American history, 52 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.800 the greatest single abuse of power in which the full 53 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.759 authority of the United States government was utilized for strictly 54 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.759 political purposes, utilizing, in this case, two pieces of totally 55 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.199 fabricated evidence, the so called Steele dossier. That was a 56 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.879 report which falsely alleged that Donald Trump, while in Moscow 57 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.280 as a private businessman that tallied with Russian prostitutes, it 58 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.439 was paid for by Hillary Clinton and was a complete fraud. 59 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.199 And also the still false claim that the Democrat National 60 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.959 Committee was hacked by Russian intelligence and that those emails 61 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.680 were spirited over to Wiki leagues was the underlying claim 62 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.199 of the charges against me. There's no proof of that whatsoever. 63 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:34.079 In fact, I wanted to introduce expert testimony and forensic 64 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.839 evidence which would approved definitively that the Democrat National Committee 65 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.319 was never hacked by the Russians or anyone else for 66 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.639 that matter. In any event, we now have evidence that, 67 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.959 in a letter that Chairman Jim Jordan wrote to the 68 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.839 Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, that Smith made knowingly false 69 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.680 statements under oath before Congress. In his December twenty twenty 70 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.639 five Congressional des positions, Smith was grilled about the Biden 71 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.199 era Arctic Frost operation that unconstitutionally subpoened the phone records 72 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.680 from more than a dozen Republican members of Congress, complete 73 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.639 with gag orders so that the targets wouldn't even know 74 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.519 that the Deep State was watching them. When asked whether 75 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.240 he or members of his prosecution team ever accessed the 76 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.360 content of those privileged text messages. Smith claimed they had not, 77 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.680 but the new DOJ documents proved that claim is false. 78 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.360 This wasn't a paperwork era. This was a calculated effort 79 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.000 by a Biden appointed special council to spy on elected 80 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.360 Republicans and associates to the President, including yours truly, to 81 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.439 then stonewall Congress, and to cover his tracks. Now they 82 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.319 charged me with making false statements to Congress. But although 83 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.240 I did make misstatements, none of them were material. In 84 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.199 other words, I had no motive to lie. I made errors, 85 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.399 but there was no Russian illusion to lie about. There 86 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.839 was nothing to cover up. That was definitively proved when 87 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.240 a federal judge ordered that Robert Muller's final report, long 88 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.040 redacted maiden from my lawyers during trial by the judge 89 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.639 and the American public, but released on November third of 90 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.399 twenty twenty, proved definitively that they had found no evidence 91 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.120 of Russian collusion, Wiki League's collaboration, or any other crime 92 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.040 on my part. Any misstatement I made was inadvertent and immaterial. 93 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.759 Not so in the case of Smith. Smith's team just 94 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.920 didn't just dig into January sixth, the infamous fed surrection 95 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.279 on January sixth served as a dastardly honeypot to ensnare 96 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.040 Trump supporting election integrity activist. Then they went after the 97 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.439 private communications of the people's elected representatives. That is, by 98 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.959 the way, the very definition of lawfare, using the justice 99 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.319 system as a political weapon against the opposition. These details 100 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.360 prove that the weaponization of the DOJ under Biden was 101 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.759 an assault on the constitution itself. When a prosecutor lies 102 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.199 under oath to Congress about spying on lawmakers, isn't just 103 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.360 committing perjury. He's undermining the separation of powers, the very 104 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.680 foundation of self government. In other words, one branch of 105 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.839 government should not be allowed to spy on another branch, 106 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.720 particularly the elected branch of government. In any other era, 107 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.240 targeting the political opposition with secret surveillance and then lying 108 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.720 about it under oath would be treated as a betrayal 109 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.920 of the highest order. So I believe the appropriate charge 110 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.959 here is treason and that Jack Smith has abused his 111 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.519 authority and what was now I think the greatest single 112 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:50.439 abuse of power in American history. Will anybody be held accountable? Well, 113 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.800 that remains to be seen. Jim Jordan sends a lot 114 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.279 of letters. The Republicans are very good at sending hot letters. 115 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.160 I remember FBI agents stormed my home at six o'clock 116 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.480 in the morning to arrest me for the first time 117 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:10.920 nonviolent crime, allegedly lying to Congress. The late Lindsay Graham 118 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.040 got huge headlines by firing off a letter to the 119 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:18.439 FBI director demanding to know who had approved this rate 120 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.839 on my home. The FBI never answered the letter, but 121 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.600 the late Senator Graham got his headline. Republicans seemed to 122 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.560 be very good at launching letters, strongly worded letters. They 123 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.799 don't seem to be too good at keeping people holding 124 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:38.000 people responsible. Meanwhile, the Democrats already eyeing the twenty twenty 125 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.080 eight presidential field, and the early numbers are not good 126 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.399 for the chances of ending MAGA and retaking the country. 127 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.840 At brand newpole from the University of New Hampshire shows 128 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:53.200 that radical New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortes, better known 129 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.879 as AOC, is actually leading the Democrat primary with twenty 130 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:02.480 two percent, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Boudajez behind her 131 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.200 say that lightly at twenty one. Meanwhile, former Vice President 132 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.840 Kamala Harris comes in at a pathetic five percent. When 133 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.399 you consider that she spent literally billions of dollars running 134 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.320 for president in the last cycle, that's really extraordinary. Party's 135 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.759 two top prospects seem to be AOC, the self described 136 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.960 democratic socialist who once declared capitalism irredeemable, compared Ice attention 137 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.440 centers to concentration camps and said America is governed by fascists. 138 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:37.000 And Pete Boudajez, the LGBT star, wars to claims racism 139 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.120 is physically built into some of our highways. He said 140 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:46.279 that is Transportation secretariyly floated gender equity crash test dummies, 141 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.279 and on national television refused to draw a clear line 142 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:54.000 against late term abortions that I think you could call infanticide. 143 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.240 These are not mainstream leaders. This is the far left 144 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.840 dream ticket, which will alienate swing voters. I think in 145 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.480 crucial battleground states who still believe in borders, energy, independence, 146 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:10.399 and plain old common sense. While Democrats chase these socialist 147 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:15.159 fantasies and take identity politics to extremes. I think Republicans 148 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.360 are consolidating around serious contenders like Vice President J. D. Vance, 149 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.399 who leads the Republican side in that same New Hampshire 150 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.679 poll with thirty six percent of the vote, and Secretary 151 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.759 of State Marco Rubio who runs strong at twenty eight 152 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.600 after years of open borders, inflation and cultural chaos, it 153 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.039 is a time for the American people to show they 154 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.639 have no tolerance for the radical left and their toxic, unpopular, 155 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.759 self destructive policies. If AOC and Buddhajes are the best 156 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.399 the Democrats can offer in twenty twenty eight, I would 157 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.519 say their prospects look bleak and dealed. But the old 158 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.360 Democratic Party, the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy, Democratic 159 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.000 Party of Harry Truman, the party that believed in capitalism, 160 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.639 free enterprise, a strong national defense, an anti communist Democrat Party, 161 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.559 a party that believes in God. That party literally no 162 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.159 longer exists, and the takeover of the Democrat Party by 163 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:21.159 the radical socialists is complete. This is the other point 164 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.600 I guess here is the AOC may op not to 165 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.559 run for presidents. You may run for the United States 166 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.320 Senate in the Empire State, in which case, well, I 167 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.480 think Chuck Schumer would be toast in the Democrat primary. 168 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.960 I'm Roger Stoner to listen to the stone Zone. We'll 169 00:11:35.000 --> 00:12:31.919 be right back with more on the other side us. 170 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.840 Welcome back into the Stone Jone. You know, everyone who 171 00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:03.600 is my age knows exactly where they were and what 172 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.440 they were doing when they heard that President John F. 173 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.200 Kennedy had been shot and killed in the streets of 174 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.799 Dallas on November twenty two, nineteen sixty three. I would 175 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.080 go on to write a New York Times best selling 176 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.559 book about it. Right now, I'm working on a book 177 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:25.360 about the attempted assassination on President Reagan, because well, if 178 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.679 you file a freedom of information request with the federal government, 179 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.080 everything you get back is completely and totally redacted, telling 180 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.399 you nothing whatsoever about John Hinckley Junior and the attempted 181 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.519 assassination on Ronald Reagan. I've learned much about that, and 182 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.399 I'm going to release the book shortly. The United States 183 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.720 Secret Service is warning that the threat environment surrounding President 184 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.360 Trump and other protected officials is the worst that the 185 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.679 agency has ever experienced. Officials say that roughly ten thousand 186 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:01.360 threat cases have already been logged into twenty six That's 187 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:05.080 a forty percent increase from the same period last year. 188 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.440 This is why I have added the Safety of President 189 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.240 Donald Trump to my Rosary every night. There have been 190 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.440 not one, not two, but I count actually four attempts 191 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.960 on the President's life. I'm still not satisfied with the 192 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:26.960 official explanation that Thomas Matthew Crooks acted alone in Butler, Pennsylvania. 193 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.759 But I do recall that same feeling in the pit 194 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.799 of my stomach that I felt when Kennedy was shot. 195 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.639 When they tried to kill Reagan, and they attempted to 196 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:42.080 kill Donald Trump. There have now been multiple violent episodes 197 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.639 that protected sites instigators have also acknowledged many serious security failures. 198 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.399 During the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, one attendee, Corey Compentory, a firefighter, 199 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.639 was killed. Others were wounded. What really aggravates me when 200 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.720 I go online is when some people say, well, this 201 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:04.519 was all staged, staged by Trump, or some people say 202 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.680 staged by Roger Stone. That's particularly offensive. A man was killed, 203 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:13.920 that is indisputable. How it is that the state, local, 204 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:20.119 and federal law enforcement were all on different radio frequencies 205 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.519 and could not communicate with each other. How they missed 206 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.119 more than one hundred individual reports of a man on 207 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.519 the roof of the rifle and a range fighter is 208 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:34.000 a little hard to understand also their failure to conduct 209 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.200 a drone surveillance. The local police actually offered to do 210 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.759 it for the Secret Service. Secret Service declined, but then 211 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.079 the Secret Service couldn't figure out how to get the 212 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.519 drone technology that they had licensed to work. There was 213 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.960 actually a Secret Service agent on the eight hundred number 214 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.720 with the manufacturer of the drone technology trying to figure 215 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.279 out how to get it to work. I think America 216 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.680 has to confront this political climate that helped produce this danger. 217 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.200 For years a Trump derangement. Media culture has portrayed one 218 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.519 man and tens of millions of his supporters like me, 219 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:17.480 as fascists or extremists, white supremacists, or existential threats to democracy. 220 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:24.759 When public figures relentlessly demonizes in this kind of apocalyptic language, 221 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:32.240 unstable people can interpret political hatred as a license for violence. 222 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.839 This doesn't excuse any attacker in my view. Responsibility, of 223 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:40.160 course belongs to the criminal, but responsible journalism requires recognizing 224 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.680 that messaging shapes the national atmosphere. The pressuould stop treating 225 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.119 inflammatory rhetoric as if it was harmless when it targets 226 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.039 President Trump, Republicans, or or anyone in our political society. 227 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:58.400 Political disagreement is legitimate, but dehumanizing is not. The Secret 228 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.359 Service must receive the power, technology, counter drone authority, and 229 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.400 institutional reforms needed to prect our national leaders, regardless of party, 230 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.559 and that includes building the secure White House Ballroom. It's 231 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.160 not incidental that there have now been two attempts on 232 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.720 presidents at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, d C. Fake news. 233 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.839 I'm afraid beyond redemption, they must be disposed of completely 234 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.480 in terms of their monolithic ability to set the stage 235 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.960 for the national dialogue. But in the meantime, the threats 236 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.319 against our president are really real. There are at a record, 237 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.799 and therefore I urge you to join me in praying 238 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:43.039 for our president, our vice president, all of our leaders, 239 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.880 regardless of party. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to the 240 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.359 Stone Zone. Don't go away, because we'll have more hot 241 00:19:48.400 --> 00:20:46.119 politics on the other side. You are diving headfirst right 242 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.480 back into the Stone Zone, the hottest political talk show 243 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:54.160 on the planet today. The US House of Representatives has 244 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:58.680 narrowly passed a one point one five trillion dollar defense 245 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.400 policy bill, but they attached the Save America Act to 246 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.680 a package that funds the military, nuclear security and a 247 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:11.279 three point six percent pay raise for our military. They 248 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.680 attached the Save Act. That is the simple provision that 249 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.920 requires it one be a citizen of the United States 250 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.119 and have a photo ID before you're allowed to vote 251 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.599 in a federal election. Polls show that some eighty seven 252 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.720 percent of the American people support this simple provision, which 253 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.519 has now passed the House attached to the Defense appropriations, 254 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.039 but is yet to pass the Senate. The final vote 255 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.160 in the House was two sixteen to two twelve, and 256 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.519 from a common sense perspective, there's a lot there to support. 257 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:47.680 America must rebuild our military readiness, to invest in modern weapons, 258 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.720 and ensure that our troops are properly compensated. The bill 259 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.240 also includes a welcome provision that actually imposes a modest 260 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.519 funding penalty if the Pentagon again fails in all after 261 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:05.880 eight consecutive failed audits. Tax Payers deserve accountability and the 262 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.119 military industrial complex must not be given a free pass 263 00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:13.519 when it comes to our tax dollars. The Save America 264 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.839 Act is finally addresses the concern that only American citizens, 265 00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:20.480 as I say, should vote in US elections, requiring proof 266 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:25.519 of citizenship and fail identifications. Just common sense provided lawmakers 267 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.039 established practical procedures for citizens who lack passports or easy 268 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.680 access to birth records. The idea that this is somehow 269 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.440 racist just kind of defies common sense. Now, the responsibility 270 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:43.640 ultimately relies on the US Senate. The Senate should preserve 271 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:47.279 the strongest part of this important military bill. I mean 272 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.000 the military readiness, the troop pay increase, but also the 273 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.640 election integrity portions of it as well. If Senate removes 274 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.920 the Safe America Act provisions from the Defense bill while 275 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.720 rubber stamping massive spending, that will be a trail of 276 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.240 the president and its principles, and it could be a 277 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.680 disaster for Republican chances in these upcoming midterm elections. Strong 278 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:13.119 defense and secure elections are both essential. I think these 279 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.079 issues go hand in hand. The Senate can't drop the 280 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.400 ball on this or the consequences could very well be dire. 281 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.519 But we're held up by something called the filibuster rule 282 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.400 that means that in the Senate you don't need fifty 283 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.359 one votes to pass a piece of legislation. I think 284 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.119 there are fifty votes today for the Save America Act, 285 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.599 and Vice President J. D Vance could then cast a 286 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:39.359 tie breaking vote and it would become law. But under 287 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.480 the filibuster rule, and this is important, this is not 288 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.759 a law. This is a Senate rule, essentially a custom 289 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:50.839 or a tradition. It requires sixty votes to bring the 290 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:55.960 Save America Act to the floor. Now. Sadly, the Senate 291 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:01.880 Majority Leader John Thune of Nebraska steadfastly refused to break 292 00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.359 the filibsto rule and bring this to a floor, which 293 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:10.559 I think could cost the Republicans extraordinarily this November. It's 294 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.279 time to pass the Save America Act and stop the politics. Meanwhile, 295 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.240 the Trump administration is reaching a historic achievement in terms 296 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:24.039 of defending public safety. The homicide rate across all major 297 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.359 US cities actually found eighteen percent in the first after 298 00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.039 twenty twenty six and maybe heading towards a historic low. 299 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.119 A new Council on Criminal Justice report examined thirteen criminal 300 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.039 categories in thirty sixties. Nine declined homicides were down in 301 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.839 most cities studied, while carjacking dropped an extraordinary forty seven percent. 302 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.319 Comparing that with the first half of twenty nineteen, homicides 303 00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:54.599 were actually down thirty one percent. The results are irrefutable, 304 00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:57.480 and they're a political triumph for President Trump's law and 305 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:02.079 order agenda. His administration has actually restored the basic principle 306 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.519 that the government's first duty is to protect innocent citizens, 307 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.559 not making excuses for criminals, not undermining the police, not 308 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:16.880 allowing chaos to become normal. After years of fire left prosecutors, 309 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:22.160 anti police rhetoric, open border disorders, and soft on crime insanity, 310 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.079 America seems to be moving back towards the rule of 311 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:29.039 law as the public is sick of coddling criminals. Federal 312 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:34.200 support for law enforcement, aggressive action against violent gangs, stronger 313 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.839 border security, and renewed respect for police all send the 314 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.839 unmistekable message at criminals, not law abiding families should fear 315 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.200 the justice system. I think our leaders must continue supporting 316 00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.799 officers but prosecuting repe defenders, securing the border, and rejecting 317 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.880 radical policies that put the far left ideology above public safety. 318 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.079 The direction of America's moving is clear. Trump administrations fulfilling 319 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.359 its promise and lafe American families to once again live 320 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.240 in peace. While we're at it, we should bring back 321 00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:10.160 cash bail. Cash list bail, as is done in New 322 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.680 York State is a umongous mistake. Meanwhile, Trump accounts a 323 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.720 new federal investment program for children, which officially launched on 324 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:24.319 July fourth, has already drawn significant participation. The Secretary of 325 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.400 the Treasury, Scott Bessen, announced that more than seven million 326 00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:32.000 accounts have been opened for children under eighteen, with roughly 327 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:37.759 one point five billion dollar invested so far. So about 328 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.359 one point seven million children qualify for the program's one 329 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.519 time one thousand dollars federal contribution. In other words, seed 330 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.119 money put in by the government under Donald Trump will 331 00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.519 be available for children born between January first, twenty twenty 332 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:57.279 five and December thirty first, twenty twenty eight. The accounts 333 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.960 function like traditional iras. Intments grow tax deferred with withdraws 334 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:10.400 generally cannot begin until the channel turns eighteen. Parents, guardians, relatives, employers, governments, 335 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.200 and qualified nonprofits may also contribute, although contribution limits and 336 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:20.640 tax treatment may vary. Families, friends, Employer contributions generally cannot 337 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:26.920 exceed five thousand dollars annually per account. Employer contributions are 338 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:32.119 captured twenty five hundred per employee. Government and nonprofit contributions 339 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:35.200 don't count towards the limit. Funds are invested in low 340 00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:40.359 costs diversified American stock market funds. The default option tracks 341 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:44.000 the S and P five hundred, with additional index fund 342 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:50.079 choices expected at age eighteen. The accounts converted to traditional iras. 343 00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.599 Early withdrawals may face taxes and penalties, though except exceptions 344 00:27:54.599 --> 00:28:01.200 exist for higher education, buying a first home, adoption, medical emergencies, 345 00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:05.079 and certain other medical costs. Trump accounts are giving children 346 00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:09.720 a valuable financial head start, particularly when families and employers 347 00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:14.319 contribute consistently. Now is the time for young families, I think, 348 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.240 to take advantage of this revolutionary plan that will build 349 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:22.079 wealth for the next generation and the culture of dependency 350 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.960 that fuels the continuous growth of big government. This is 351 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.000 a perfect example of the creativity of the Trump administration. 352 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:35.160 It will be in Trump's legacy the way so security 353 00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:40.720 is in the legacy of Franklin, Delano or Roosevelt. Meanwhile, 354 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:46.960 a major FDA fight is going over experimental peptide treatments, 355 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.960 is showing how the fibureaucracy is striking back against Health 356 00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.440 and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's Make America Healthy 357 00:28:55.480 --> 00:29:01.920 against agenda. An FDA advisory committee is reviewing whether specialized 358 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:06.759 pharmacies should again be allowed to produce seven pepside injections 359 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.640 that were banned three years ago over safety concerns. Ceptuary 360 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:14.680 Kennedy has argued that the restrictions pushed patients into a 361 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:20.240 dangerous gray market that regulated compounding with proper safeguards could 362 00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:24.839 offer a safety path and greater healing and health. Agency 363 00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:29.400 scientists suppose broader access, saying that peptides lacks sufficient human 364 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.839 data on safety and effectiveness. No final decision has currently 365 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.839 been made. I can tell you firsthand the black market 366 00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:41.440 in peptides is extraordinary. I know because my inbox is 367 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.000 constantly bombarded with clinics seeking to sell me peptides that 368 00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:52.640 I cannot get legally. I know people who have used 369 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.400 peptides in their healing process. I have not chosen to 370 00:29:55.440 --> 00:30:00.720 do so, but that black market very much exists the contrary. 371 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.880 The controversy here exposes a deeper battle over who controls 372 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:08.920 American medicine. Secretary Kennedy's promised to challenge an FDA culture 373 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:14.680 long criticized for favoring entrenched pharmaceutical interests big Pharma, limiting 374 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.640 pats and choice, and treating innovation outside the traditional approval 375 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.759 system as a threat. Unelected, faceless bureaucrats are clinging to 376 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:28.079 what's left of their closed system that protects corporate gatekeepers 377 00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:32.960 to the detriment of patients. The sensible path is neither 378 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.920 reckless free for all nor automatic deference to the bureocracy. 379 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.519 It's a transparent science, strict disclosures, adverse event reporting, and 380 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:46.400 carefully controlled access. People should be allowed to choose. The 381 00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:51.119 FDA should not make the best, unbiased information available to 382 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:54.440 the masses. They should not be restricting treatments to protect 383 00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:59.079 big Farmer's bloated profit margins. Kennedy must continue to push 384 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:03.960 back against the FIA because their decisions jeopardize health freedom. 385 00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:08.119 My wife is a cancer survivor. In all honesty, I 386 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.480 doubt that she would now be five years cancer free 387 00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.279 without alternative treatments for cancer. President Donald Trump and the 388 00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:20.279 Right to Try Act has been a pioneer in this 389 00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:26.279 entire area, and I think more and freer access to 390 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:31.599 alternative medicine should be allowed. Meanwhile, New Jersey's non citizen 391 00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:36.359 voter registration scandals growing more serious as a software company 392 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.119 blamed by the governor disputes the state's account. Governor Mikey 393 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:44.559 Chryl says that a vendor error caused more than sixty 394 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.880 six hundred people who identify themselves as non citizens to 395 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.119 be placed on voter rolls between June of twenty twenty 396 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.039 three and June of twenty twenty four. Fewer than four 397 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:59.680 hundred of them supposedly cast ballots, but vendor id ME 398 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.839 says its role was merely to transmit motor vehicle commission 399 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.680 data to the state Division of Elections, which remains responsible 400 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:14.079 for reviewing eligibility and approving registration. That disagreement raises an 401 00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:17.839
