Speaker 1: My fellow Americans. If you think you know politics, think again.
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Cohen, and every week on When you Know
Speaker 1: you Know, we're pulling back the curtain on power, politics, media,
Speaker 1: and the people making headlines. On my new WABC radio show,
Speaker 1: you'll hear conversations from names that you know, people like
Speaker 1: Jerry Fowell Junior, Anthony Scaramucci, Alan Dershowitz, and many many more.
Speaker 1: Maybe just maybe we'll even hear from the President. No scripts,
Speaker 1: no spin, just real conversations with people who were in
Speaker 1: the room where it happened. And trust me, we've got
Speaker 1: some very big surprises coming. Look, I've spent years at
Speaker 1: the center of politics, controversy and power. I know the players,
Speaker 1: I know the stories, and now I'm bringing you inside
Speaker 1: When you Know you Know Sundays at five pm on
Speaker 1: WABC Radio, and When you Know you Know Unleashed wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, because with me, you'd never know
Speaker 1: who's going to show up.
Speaker 2: The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 2: podcast Networks.
Speaker 3: Last night on the Stone Zone, the chairman of the
Speaker 3: Italian American Civil Rights League, Mike Crispy, condemned Mayor Zorre
Speaker 3: and Ma'amdami after his administration released a list of New
Speaker 3: York City's Immigrant Enclage, a map reportedly highlighting dozens of
Speaker 3: ethnic neighborhoods across New York City while ignoring one of
Speaker 3: the most important of them all, Little Italy. Mike Crispy
Speaker 3: said this was not a clerical error. He said it
Speaker 3: was correctly. He said this was cultural erasure, and he
Speaker 3: correctly said that Italy is sacred ground. It's where Italian
Speaker 3: immigrants came from. Nothing, worked hard, open shopped, raised families,
Speaker 3: built churches, fed the city and helped make New York
Speaker 3: what it is today. Well, after that show last night,
Speaker 3: Mayor Ma'amdami is in full retreat. Let's listen to the mayor. Hi,
Speaker 3: mister mayor, how are you well?
Speaker 4: How are you fine?
Speaker 5: Thank you? Can you please address the controversy that has
Speaker 5: developed over the city's immigrant enclave's list. Do you believe
Speaker 5: that there are neighborhoods that were left off that list?
Speaker 5: And if the city plans to add more, which other
Speaker 5: neighborhoods do you think should be added?
Speaker 4: So this map was initially created by the prior administration
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three, and when we inherited it. We
Speaker 4: added a few additional neighborhoods. It's clearly not an exhaustive
Speaker 4: list of the more than two hundred ethnic communities that
Speaker 4: call our city home. And we're going to be making
Speaker 4: additional changes in the future to reflect that. And that
Speaker 4: includes adding Little Lily to the map, and that includes
Speaker 4: adding little Italy to the map, a little little.
Speaker 3: And there you have it. The mayor in full it retreat.
Speaker 3: First of all, he threw his predecessor, Eric Adams under
Speaker 3: the boss, saying it was really his map. But this
Speaker 3: is a first hand demonstration of citizen action, and I
Speaker 3: think the present the mayor probably should have also apologized,
Speaker 3: proud of the role that we played here in the
Speaker 3: Stone Zone. And for those who are interested in the
Speaker 3: Italian American Civil Rights a League, the nonprofit volunteer organization
Speaker 3: that mobilized very quickly to put heat on the mayor,
Speaker 3: you can go to IACRL dot org again a voluntary
Speaker 3: nonprofit organization. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is moving to take
Speaker 3: out the trash at the Election Assistance Commission after that
Speaker 3: agency shamefully resisted his push to require a proof of
Speaker 3: US citizenship before voter registration. The White House confirmed that
Speaker 3: President Trump removed the commission's two Democrat members, Thomas Hicks
Speaker 3: and Benjamin Hoveland, the Republican seats who are already vacant after
Speaker 3: Christy McCormick resigned and Donald Palmer left his seat earlier
Speaker 3: this year. Now, this commission oversees federal election grants voting
Speaker 3: system testing in the National Voter Registration Form. That form
Speaker 3: currently tells applicants that it's illegal to falsely claimed citizenship,
Speaker 3: but it does not require documentary proof of citizenship. That's
Speaker 3: exactly the loophole that President Trump has been trying to close. Democrats,
Speaker 3: of course, immediately accuse the President of politicizing elections. But
Speaker 3: the real scandal here is that Washington elites think that
Speaker 3: requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is somehow controversial.
Speaker 3: Voting is a sacred right of all American citizens. It
Speaker 3: should not depend on an honor system, bureaucratic paperwork, or
Speaker 3: vague assurances from agencies that resist basic safeguards. This is
Speaker 3: what they Save America Act is all about. Polls showed
Speaker 3: that ninety seven percent of Americans agree with the concept
Speaker 3: that you should be a legal resident of the United States,
Speaker 3: a citizen of the United States and have a photo
Speaker 3: ID in order to vote. The Supreme Court recently affirmed
Speaker 3: broad presidential authority to remove officials from independent agency boards,
Speaker 3: giving President Trump a much stronger legal hand in this
Speaker 3: very fight. The White House says the president has the
Speaker 3: right to remove officials not aligned with securing elections and
Speaker 3: ensuring that every legal vote is counted. That is, of
Speaker 3: course my point. We need accountability within the federal bureaucracy.
Speaker 3: This is not a permanent position isolated for political pressure.
Speaker 3: President Trump knows that he is that, and he's acting accordingly.
Speaker 3: If a bureaucrat is unwilling to defend election integrity, they
Speaker 3: don't belong on the Election Assistants Commission. These positions are
Speaker 3: not extremism, they're just common sense. If you need identification
Speaker 3: and proof of eligibility for virtually every aspect of daily life,
Speaker 3: whether it's buying a pack of cigarettes getting on an airplane,
Speaker 3: then it is not unreasonable to require the same proof
Speaker 3: of citizenship for voter registration at a bare Minimumwhile how
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is pushing America's allies to
Speaker 3: take the threat of violent far left extremism seriously, including
Speaker 3: the Antifa linked networks, according to reports, Secretary Rubio is
Speaker 3: urging foreign governments to work with the United States on
Speaker 3: political violence tied to far left movements, arguing that some
Speaker 3: groups connected to Antifa operperate across borders and should be
Speaker 3: treated as part of a broader extremist threat. State Department
Speaker 3: spokesman Tommy Pigott said violent far left terrorism is not new,
Speaker 3: but an old threat re emerging with trans national links.
Speaker 3: He said, the administration is focused on activity that meets
Speaker 3: the definition of terrorism, such as assassinations, kidnappings, threats against
Speaker 3: the US facilities and law enforcement attacks on critical infrastructure,
Speaker 3: military personnel, and civilians. In my opinion, this is a
Speaker 3: long overdue correction. For years, the political class observed these
Speaker 3: threats from the right while downplaying black clad militants burning cities,
Speaker 3: attacking police, threatening citizens, and sabotaging infrastructure. Some European governments
Speaker 3: reportedly skeptical, claiming that Antifa is not a major concern
Speaker 3: compared with Islamist terrorisms, organized crime, cyber attack, or other
Speaker 3: hostile foreign states. Perhaps, but I think they're missing the
Speaker 3: forest for the trees here. A serious government can proNT
Speaker 3: more than one threat at a time. Antifa link cells
Speaker 3: have claimed destructive attacks, including Tesla infrastructure near Berlin, and
Speaker 3: similar taxics have appeared here in our own country. As
Speaker 3: long as we have partners in Europe, they must be
Speaker 3: compelled to take the far left extremist threat seriously. Otherwise,
Speaker 3: what is the point of the partnership if they stand
Speaker 3: unwilling to defend civilization when it matters the most. Secretary
Speaker 3: Rubio's leadership in this situation is a stark departure from
Speaker 3: previous regimes that claimed, because the propaganda spread by groups
Speaker 3: like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti Defamationally,
Speaker 3: that Antifa was just an idea, just a concept, not
Speaker 3: really an organization. Well that I asked, who pays for
Speaker 3: the palettes of bricks, Who pays for the flatbed trucks
Speaker 3: and the buses? Who pays to bail these monsters out
Speaker 3: of jail on those rare occasions when they are arrested.
Speaker 3: Antifa is very real, and it's time for us to
Speaker 3: take it as the terrorist threat that it really is. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: serious questions continue to grow around Senator Mitch McConnell's mysterious hospitalization.
Speaker 3: I think the American people deserve answers as to what
Speaker 3: may be an establishment conspiracy. New video and iwinness accounts
Speaker 3: supportedly show emergency responders taking the senator from Kentucky from
Speaker 3: his Washington home on a stretcher last month after a
Speaker 3: call from an unconscious person came through nine to one.
Speaker 3: One audio published by an independent journalist indicated that responders
Speaker 3: were dispatched for a possible cardiac arrest, with CPR in
Speaker 3: progress that can be heard clearly on the recording. Yeah,
Speaker 3: McConnell's office has offered only vague statements saying he was
Speaker 3: hospitalized receiving excellent care. A couple weeks later, the public
Speaker 3: still hadn't been told what happened, what his condition really is,
Speaker 3: or why one of Kentucky's US senator has been absent
Speaker 3: for major votes. Now, this is not just an ordinary
Speaker 3: citizen who's entitled to privacy. This is an eighty four
Speaker 3: year old senator who's a vote effects war powers, spending, judges,
Speaker 3: and the direction of the country. Pumpkin leaders and insiders
Speaker 3: now claim that they've spoken with McConnell by phone and
Speaker 3: that he sounds strong. Count me as skeptical. Their comments
Speaker 3: seem remarkably limited, carefully worded and kind of light on details.
Speaker 3: Why not just have Senator McConnell emerge and give a
Speaker 3: statement of his own After years of Washington hiding the
Speaker 3: true condition of aging leaders, Americans have every right here
Speaker 3: to be skeptical. We saw at first hand with Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: We saw how many people lied blatantly to the masses
Speaker 3: when it serves their political agenda. With McConnell, we've seen
Speaker 3: his mental fitness de climb precipitously in recent years. Still
Speaker 3: he has remained in office to be a sturdy vote
Speaker 3: against MAGA. On the other hand, if the Senator is
Speaker 3: incapacitated or should he pass, his appointment would be failled.
Speaker 3: His vacancy would be filmed by a Democrat governor. Kentucky voters,
Speaker 3: the American people deserve to know right now whether Senator
Speaker 3: McConnell is capable of serving, and if he's not, he
Speaker 3: should resign and be replaced with someone else who could
Speaker 3: vote affirmatively on the same America Act. Before it is
Speaker 3: too late, I correct myself, he actually would be appointed
Speaker 3: by a Republican governor. Meanwhile, federal authorities have charged eight
Speaker 3: men in an alleged terror plot tarnting President Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: Vice President J. D Vance, Elon Musk, and other senior
Speaker 3: figures during the UFC Freedom two fifty event at the
Speaker 3: White House in June. So it wasn't a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 3: A federal grand jury in Ohio returned a two count
Speaker 3: indictment charging the defendants with conspiring to provide materials and
Speaker 3: support to terrorists, conspired to commit murder on federal property,
Speaker 3: and conspiring to kill federal officials. All those, of course,
Speaker 3: are capital crimes. Investigators were reportedly alerted to the threat
Speaker 3: on June tenth, just four days before the UFC event.
Speaker 3: Seven suspects were quickly arrested before any attacks could take place,
Speaker 3: Thank god. The final suspect, twenty one year old Chandler Skaggs,
Speaker 3: who prosecutors say was assigned to act as a sniper,
Speaker 3: was arrested just this past week in West Virginia. Prosecutors
Speaker 3: say the plot began forming in May with a group
Speaker 3: gathering cash, firearms, ammunition, explosives, drones, protective gear, medical supplies,
Speaker 3: and communication devices in order to take out key administration
Speaker 3: figures at the UFC fight on the White House grounds.
Speaker 3: They allegedly used platforms including Signal, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, and
Speaker 3: others to coordinated their diabolical plan. Authority say the group
Speaker 3: held extreme left wing anti government conspiracy beliefs and wanted
Speaker 3: to take down the United States to fulfill their sick
Speaker 3: ideological fantasies. This is exactly why law enforcement must treat
Speaker 3: political violence as a serious national security threat. There are
Speaker 3: plenty of radicalized nutjobs fed hysteria by one of the
Speaker 3: two parties and the namestream media over a decade now
Speaker 3: who want to as the former FBI director put it
Speaker 3: eighty six forty seven, no, we cannot let the terrorists
Speaker 3: swin the Trump administration. Federal agents and the local law
Speaker 3: enforcement partners did tremendous work in stopping a potential massacre
Speaker 3: before it could take place. The radical left does not
Speaker 3: believe in free speech, their Marxist ideologies and method to Americanism.
Speaker 3: If Joe McCarthy was wrong, it's because he didn't go
Speaker 3: far enough. Meanwhile, the FBI, under Director Cash Battel, says
Speaker 3: the bureau has arrested one hundred and thirteen active foreign spies,
Speaker 3: making a major escalation America's counterintelligence fight under the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: According to the FBI director, the arrests are aimed at
Speaker 3: keeping American technology at home and protecting US defense secrets
Speaker 3: from hostile regimes. The FBI also said it forced removal
Speaker 3: of sixty two Chinese spies in twenty twenty six alone,
Speaker 3: dealing a serious blow to the Chinese Common Party operations
Speaker 3: inside the United States. You see four years China has
Speaker 3: targeted American military secrets, trade secrets, universities, defense contractors, and
Speaker 3: dissidents living on US soil. A House Homeland Security report
Speaker 3: found that the CCP espionage cases spanned across twenty states,
Speaker 3: including schemes involving sensitive military information, stolen intellectual property, and
Speaker 3: intimidation of Chinese distance. Recent cases included former Navy sailor
Speaker 3: sentenced to more than sixteen years in prison for selling
Speaker 3: information about the uss Essex to Chinese intelligence, as well
Speaker 3: as a US citizen who pled guilty to acting as
Speaker 3: an agent of China. The FBI is moving abbrestling against
Speaker 3: these cyber threats, including North Korean fishing operations and Chinese
Speaker 3: backed intermet domains targeting Americans with security clearances. At the
Speaker 3: same time, FBI Director Patel says the FBI's treating cartels
Speaker 3: like foreign terrorist threats, with roughly forty eight hundred cartel
Speaker 3: members having been arrested. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to
Speaker 3: The Stone Zone, and we'll be back with more on
Speaker 3: the other side.
Speaker 2: The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 2: podcast network.
Speaker 3: Perhaps the first man should be prosecuted, convicted, and locked
Speaker 3: up for their role in the anti Trump conspiracy that
Speaker 3: was Arctic Frost. His former special counsel, Jack Smith, US
Speaker 3: Senator from Iowa. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Speaker 3: is raising serious questions about Smith's prosecution team after message
Speaker 3: reportedly showed classified material were handled carelessly by the very
Speaker 3: people prosecuting President Trump over his handling of classified material.
Speaker 3: You can't make this stuff up. According to Grassley, internal
Speaker 3: messages from teams Smith's team indicate that a secure facility
Speaker 3: used to review sensitive information was left open overnight and
Speaker 3: possibly longer. In one exchange, a prosecution team member asked
Speaker 3: who had opened the facility. Another implied that no one
Speaker 3: had opened it because no one had closed it the
Speaker 3: day before. Second set of messages reportedly showed that the
Speaker 3: team used classified materials and sent them to an unidentified
Speaker 3: person without confirming that person had a need to know
Speaker 3: or a security clearance. This is stunning hypocrisy if you
Speaker 3: think about it. Remember they were rated mar Lago, the
Speaker 3: President's home in South Florida, on the pretext that he
Speaker 3: had illegally held on to classified material. Yet under the
Speaker 3: Presidential Records Act, they of course knew that the President
Speaker 3: had the full authority to not only have, but maintain
Speaker 3: and he classify any material he wished. Jack Smith's office
Speaker 3: was prosecuting Trump for this alleged mishandling classified material, while
Speaker 3: according to these records, members of his own team were
Speaker 3: mishandling classified materials themselves. Class He called it another example
Speaker 3: of the two tier justice system, and he asked the
Speaker 3: acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche for more records, including whether
Speaker 3: the unsecured facility contained materials connected to the Trump case.
Speaker 3: The Justice Department says it takes classified information seriously and
Speaker 3: will review whether protocols were violated. We've certainly heard that
Speaker 3: song and dance before. Now there must be swift action
Speaker 3: to show that these lawbreakers are not involved in competence,
Speaker 3: but were malicious and the hypocrisy and treason simply won't
Speaker 3: be tolerated. This goes far beyond just classified documents. This,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, is about equal justice under the law
Speaker 3: and whether Washington d c elitists will ever be compelled
Speaker 3: to play by the same rules they impose on every
Speaker 3: other citizen. Until they are prosecuted and convicted, There'll be
Speaker 3: nothing stopping Jack Smith and the rest of the Deep
Speaker 3: States of burders repeating these same ops the first chance
Speaker 3: they get. There's no question that the Russian collusion hoax
Speaker 3: was the greatest single abuse of power in which the
Speaker 3: full authority of the US Garment was used for strictly
Speaker 3: political reasons. The second greatest sturdy trick of all time
Speaker 3: would have to be Operation Arctic Frost. Remember when they
Speaker 3: asked Joe Biden whether he was concerned about a rematch
Speaker 3: with Johnald Trump. In that telling moment, he grinned and
Speaker 3: said no, because we're not going to let him run.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden himself blurted it all out. You're in the
Speaker 3: Stone Zone. I'm Rogerstone. We got play more politics for
Speaker 3: you on the other sides. Whatever you do, don't go away.
Speaker 2: The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 2: podcast Network.
Speaker 3: Welcome back into the Stone Zone. On the morning of Thursday,
Speaker 3: July ninth, in Palm Beach, Florida, but was formerly Palm
Speaker 3: Beach International Airport officially became known as President Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump International Airport. In classic Trump style, the Commander in
Speaker 3: Chief's iconic seven point fifty seven, known as Trump Force
Speaker 3: one touchdown, making history as the first aircraft to land
Speaker 3: at the permanently renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport,
Speaker 3: which will forever carry the name in airport code d JT.
Speaker 3: This renaming is completely unprecedented and truly historic. Marks the
Speaker 3: first time his sitting president has had an airport named
Speaker 3: after him. But why not. The rebrand was supported by
Speaker 3: the people of Florida and proceeded despite pushback and losses
Speaker 3: from critics who raise concerns about costs and describe the
Speaker 3: initiative as a political stunt. But I've seen the new signage,
Speaker 3: the fresh logos, the new uniforms, and the marketing materials
Speaker 3: are being implemented in phases to complete the transition while
Speaker 3: keeping operations at the airport running smoothly. The Trump Organization
Speaker 3: provided a perpetual license for the project, and the airport
Speaker 3: code transition was integrated efficiently for pilots, airlines and passengers
Speaker 3: on board air Force One for the historical landing was
Speaker 3: Congressman Byron Donalds and his wife Erica, along with Eric Trump,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump Junior, and other supporters. Eric Trump said it best.
Speaker 3: There's no person who's done more for Florida and our country,
Speaker 3: and no one more deserving than this incredible honor. It's
Speaker 3: now incidental that President Trump has endorsed Congressman Byron Donalds,
Speaker 3: Republican Congressman from Naples, for the gubernatorial nomination here in
Speaker 3: the state of Florida, and Pole's show Donald's is running
Speaker 3: away with that contest, leading by more than fifty points.
Speaker 3: He also notably now has ninety million dollars in the
Speaker 3: bank that he's raised for his game his campaign. The
Speaker 3: renaming of the airport, of course, celebrates the administration's strong economy,
Speaker 3: secure borders, and restored respect and love for America, achievements
Speaker 3: that Florida proudly recognizes. The airport will continue to welcome
Speaker 3: millions of travelers drawing to the sun golf opportunities and
Speaker 3: positioning DJT Airport as a gateway to the American dream.
Speaker 3: Travelers arriving at the facility now encountered the new identity
Speaker 3: upon landing looking ahead. Airport officials will continue rolling out
Speaker 3: additional signage, branding, and operational changes. Other US airports named
Speaker 3: after president includes those honoring Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower,
Speaker 3: John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and of course,
Speaker 3: George H. W. Bush. The implementation has followed FAA procedures
Speaker 3: to ensure safety and continuity and air traffic management and
Speaker 3: passenger processing. Personally, that can't wait till not only Trump
Speaker 3: International Airport. Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services
Speaker 3: proposing an injury table under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program,
Speaker 3: which handles claims related to COVID nineteen vaccinations. The table
Speaker 3: with lists vaccination related injuries that government officials agree are
Speaker 3: supported by strong medical and scientific evidence, along with the
Speaker 3: time frame which symptoms must appear under Secretary of Robert F.
Speaker 3: Kennedy Junior, who polls show, by the way, as the
Speaker 3: most popular member of the Trump cabinet, HHS says it
Speaker 3: is restoring transparency and accountability given Americans accurate information about
Speaker 3: both the benefits and the known risks of medical countermeasures
Speaker 3: to me, this is long overdue. For years, Americans were
Speaker 3: told to take the shot and stop asking questions. Trust
Speaker 3: this experts, trust the science, we were told. But when
Speaker 3: people reported serious injuries, including some cases sudden death, they
Speaker 3: were ignored, dismissed, or called nuts. The claims were buried
Speaker 3: in a rig compensation system designed to protect big pharma
Speaker 3: that rejected roughly ninety nine percent of claims. Through June,
Speaker 3: only sixty COVID injury vaccination injury claims had reportedly been compensated,
Speaker 3: mostly involving mile cardatis, with average payouts around four thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: except for a few slightly larger rewards. Watchdog groups representing
Speaker 3: vaccination injured Americans argue other serious conditions deserve fair review.
Speaker 3: No government entity should pressure people in taking a medical
Speaker 3: product and then abandon those who were harmed by it.
Speaker 3: Those who chose to the shot had the right to
Speaker 3: do so. Those who chose not to also had the
Speaker 3: right not to do so. After all, this was a
Speaker 3: product that had not gone through clinical trials and the
Speaker 3: makers of whom had no legal liability. Transportation, transparency, compensation
Speaker 3: and accountability are not misinformation. Contrary to what some called
Speaker 3: so called medical experts may be saying after the excesses
Speaker 3: of the COVID nineteen lockdown, President Trump was reelected to
Speaker 3: change the public health status quote. That's exactly what RFK
Speaker 3: Junior is doing, and now it's time for those who've
Speaker 3: been injured by dangerous experimental vaccinations to receive justice. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the Justice Department under Donald Trump is reversing another Biden
Speaker 3: era attack on American energy. On July seventh, the Department
Speaker 3: of Justice said the Bidy administration's restriction on oil and
Speaker 3: gas leasing in northern Alaska's Arctic region violated federal law.
Speaker 3: The Department is now asking the court to dismiss lawsuits
Speaker 3: by Alaska and its Industrial Development Authority after reaching a
Speaker 3: settlement over the dispute. At issue is the coastal plane
Speaker 3: of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where Congress set aside
Speaker 3: one point five million acres for potential oil and gas
Speaker 3: development in twenty seventeen. Congress directed the federal government to
Speaker 3: move forward with responsible energy leasing in those lands, but
Speaker 3: Alaska argued that the bide administration sabotaged that process with
Speaker 3: restrictions so severe that real development became economically and practically impossible.
Speaker 3: This is at a time, of course, that we are
Speaker 3: struggling for energy independence. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said
Speaker 3: that the Biden leasing program improperly limited Alaska's energy potential
Speaker 3: with unreasonable regulation. The settlement effectively restores the law and
Speaker 3: supports American energy independence, undoing Biden administration policies that made
Speaker 3: America weaker, less prosperous, and more dependent on hostile nations
Speaker 3: for our energy. Trump Administration's decision is a huge victory
Speaker 3: for national security, jobs, lower energy costs, and the future
Speaker 3: of Alaska's economy. Governor Mike Dunlevy had argued these resources
Speaker 3: would strengthen the America Partony Alaska Permanent Fund and benefit
Speaker 3: future generations. On the same day, the Department of Justice
Speaker 3: also settled a decades's old lawsuit over a failed federal
Speaker 3: port expansion in Anchorage, Alaska, agreeing to pay Alaska one
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million dollars to rebuild the Don Young
Speaker 3: name for a veteran congressman who actually was a friend
Speaker 3: of mine, which serves most of the state's population. Under
Speaker 3: the visionary leadership President Donald Trump, America's building, drilling, and
Speaker 3: correcting the failures of President Joe Biden and the Democrats. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: a new Gallup post challenging one of the establishment's favorite
Speaker 3: myths that massive proggration automatically helps prosperity and strengthens the
Speaker 3: free market. According to Gallops June survey, Americans are more
Speaker 3: likely to say immigration hurts job opportunities for US born
Speaker 3: workers than helps them. They're even more negative when it
Speaker 3: comes to the question of housing, with forty percent saying
Speaker 3: that immigration worsens housing availability and costs, compared with just
Speaker 3: twenty three percent who say that it actually helps it.
Speaker 3: This matters because working Americans are living with the consequences
Speaker 3: of mass illegal migration and sees disasters effects firsthand, while
Speaker 3: coke funded academics and Ivory towers few free market slop
Speaker 3: to justify the unjustifiable. Basic common sense dictates that as
Speaker 3: more people are competing for the same homes or the
Speaker 3: same jobs, it means higher rent prices, higher prices, and
Speaker 3: more unemployment. More workers competing for the same jobs means
Speaker 3: weaker embarking power and lower wages as well. So this
Speaker 3: isn't free market prosperity. This is government managed labor inflation
Speaker 3: for the benefit of corporations, landlords, and the political elites. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: for a long time, Republicans brought into this dogma for
Speaker 3: far too long. Actually, before President Donald Trump came down
Speaker 3: that golden escalator kind of snapped the gop out of it.
Speaker 3: The pro immigration lobby wants America to believe the falsehood
Speaker 3: that endless migration fills workforce gaps and boost stax revenues.
Speaker 3: But now we're seeing the fruits and they are sour. Indeed,
Speaker 3: we've crowded schools, strained services, unaffordable housing, and American workers
Speaker 3: passed over for cheaper labor. Stopping the flood. If illegal
Speaker 3: migration will help bring down home prices and make family
Speaker 3: formation possible again for younger Americans, immigration policy should serve
Speaker 3: American citizens first. The idea that foreign labor is necessary
Speaker 3: for America to thrive is erroneous to say the least.
Speaker 3: We need a fair market in this country, one that
Speaker 3: does not require flooding the country with cheap labor to
Speaker 3: maximize corporate profits while taxpayers absorb the costs. Meanwhile, no
Speaker 3: surprise here, a Minneapolis daycare owner has pled guilty in
Speaker 3: federal court to wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the
Speaker 3: United States after stealing millions of dollars from programs meant
Speaker 3: to actually help children and families. Fahima and Mahmoud, former
Speaker 3: CEO of Future Leader's Early Learning Center near George Floyd Square,
Speaker 3: admitted to submitting fraudulent claims through Minnesota's childcare Assistance program
Speaker 3: and the federal child nutrition program tied to massive Feeding
Speaker 3: Our Futures scandal. Federal prosecutors say Mamod stole more than
Speaker 3: four point six million dollars by filing roughly thirteen thousand
Speaker 3: fraudulent childcare reimbursement claims between twenty twenty two twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: She also was accused of falsely claiming her daycare center
Speaker 3: was serving huge numbers of meals to children, including submitting
Speaker 3: PaperWorks sent the Senator two meals a day to one
Speaker 3: thousand children, seven days a week. It was all completely fraudulent.
Speaker 3: Between January and July twenty twenty one, the daycare center
Speaker 3: received more than eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
Speaker 3: your tax dollars in federal nutrition funds. Now prosecutor say
Speaker 3: only a fraction actually went to food. The case drew
Speaker 3: renewed attention after the young independent journalist Nick Shirley featured
Speaker 3: the daycare center and a viral intervigation into suspicious Minnesota
Speaker 3: daycare operations. State officials later conducted checks and Future Leaders
Speaker 3: closed in January. This is exactly why independent journalism matters
Speaker 3: and why we ask people to listen to shows like
Speaker 3: The Stone Zone. While bureaucrats failed to protect taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 3: citizen reporters helped expose with government oversight missed. Nearly one
Speaker 3: hundred people have now been charged in Feeding our Future
Speaker 3: scandal in Minnesota, So I'd say that the lesson is cleared.
Speaker 3: Public benefits should help the vulnerable, not enriched fraudster's gaming
Speaker 3: the system. Trump administration is now closing all of these
Speaker 3: scams down nationwide, and not a moment too soon. The
Speaker 3: era of defrauding the taxpayers is coming to a swift end. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve is facing quite a backlashed after reporting
Speaker 3: Xbox CEO Asha Sharma to new task force on Productivity
Speaker 3: and Jobs. Just as Microsoft is under fire for laying
Speaker 3: off America workers while receiving approval to hire thousands of
Speaker 3: foreign H one B VISA employees, Sharma's Xbox division announced
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred layoffs this week, part of Microsoft's broader play
Speaker 3: in to cut forty eight hundred jobs. Seems like an
Speaker 3: unlikely person to appoint to a task force on productivity
Speaker 3: in job creation.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: At the same time, federal data shows that Microsoft had
Speaker 3: approved earlier this year to hire another twenty two one
Speaker 3: hundred HB one workers. So no Sharma has been selected
Speaker 3: to advise the Federal Reserve on jobs. That's not just
Speaker 3: tone deaf, it's actually unacceptable at a time when Vice
Speaker 3: President JD. Vance and the Trump administration are investigating H
Speaker 3: one visa abuse and fighting put American workers first. The
Speaker 3: FAT should not be elevating executives associated with mass layoffs
Speaker 3: and foreign labor pipelines. Microsoft since the customer based on
Speaker 3: business needs, not visa status, and says that some H
Speaker 3: one B employees were also affected. But the bigger picture
Speaker 3: here is corporate giants are cutting US jobs, importing cheaper labor,
Speaker 3: then getting rewarded with prestigious government influence in the aftermath.
Speaker 3: Sharma is not the type of person wh should be
Speaker 3: giving advice on employment to the nation's central bank. She
Speaker 3: should be removed from his task force as as possible.
Speaker 3: In my view, the Federal Reserve needs advisors who understand
Speaker 3: American workers, not executives from big tech companies or guilty
Speaker 3: of replacing them. America First means American jobs for American workers,
Speaker 3: not lectures from globalists who profit while American families lose
Speaker 3: their paychecks. Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone.
Speaker 3: When we come back, Argentina's president Javil Malay is taking
Speaker 3: another page from Donald Trump. Malay and I became friends,
Speaker 3: believe it or not, over what used to be Twitter
Speaker 3: now is X when he sent me a favorable direct
Speaker 3: message and that bloomed into a friendship. Little did I
Speaker 3: know that the eccentric congressman would end up as one
Speaker 3: of the most successful presidents in all of Latin America.
Speaker 3: Thanks for listening to the Stone Zone, and my friend
Speaker 3: Javier Malay will be right back. More politics on the other.
Speaker 2: Side Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple podcast networks.
Speaker 3: Argentina's president Javier Malay is actually a very good friend
Speaker 3: of mine. I indicated we met online. He was a
Speaker 3: congressman thought to be an eccentric but a free market economist,
Speaker 3: and I remember very specifically when he asked me what
Speaker 3: I thought he should shave his Elvis style sideburns, and
Speaker 3: I said absolutely not that. And of course, brandishing a
Speaker 3: buzz saw and saying that he was going to cut
Speaker 3: government became like a trademark for his incredibly successful campaign.
Speaker 3: Now President of Argentina, Javey Malay, is taking another page
Speaker 3: from President Trump's playbook, and this one cuts straight to
Speaker 3: the heart of runaway government spending. Malay announced he wants
Speaker 3: Argentina to adopt a shutdown style mechanism, similar to the
Speaker 3: United States, where government spending stops when budget authority runs out.
Speaker 3: Malay believes politicians do not pass a budget, they shouldn't
Speaker 3: just keep spending anyway. See that would be a major
Speaker 3: break from Argentina's current system, where government continue operating under
Speaker 3: old budget rules with adjustments made by the executive branch.
Speaker 3: Malay says that has helped fuel decades of fiscal abuse, inflation,
Speaker 3: and political fraud against law abiding Argentines. This is part
Speaker 3: of Malay's broader reform package aimed shrinking government, protecting the
Speaker 3: independence of Argentina's Central bank, stopping politicians from printing money
Speaker 3: to finance spending, deregulating markets, and restructuring taxes. Malay, of course,
Speaker 3: has long argued that reckless spending and money printing destroyed
Speaker 3: Argentina's economent, and now he wants legal and even criminal
Speaker 3: penalties for using currency creation to fund government deficits. A
Speaker 3: man in Malay's talents would certainly thrive with a government
Speaker 3: shutdown mechanism because he wouldn't be shy about playing hardball
Speaker 3: when it comes to public spending. Argentina's socialist and big
Speaker 3: government establishment have produced runaway inflation, poverty, corruption, and general
Speaker 3: national decline. Malay knows the problem, and he's willing to
Speaker 3: be bold to deliver a solution. His alignment with Trump is,
Speaker 3: by the way, no accident that I put the to
Speaker 3: men in touch with each other. These leaders are cut
Speaker 3: from the same cloth and both understand the basic truth
Speaker 3: that nations do not become prosperous by empowering bureaucrats. They
Speaker 3: become prosperous by limiting government, protecting markets, and preventing the
Speaker 3: takers from looting the makers. That's exactly what President Malay's
Speaker 3: attempted to do by wisely putting the shutdown provision into
Speaker 3: the functioning of the Argentine government. And already you have
Speaker 3: seen the results of the austerity and the tax relief
Speaker 3: he's brought to his country. Meanwhile, a new report exposing
Speaker 3: another ugly example of education fraud, this time in California,
Speaker 3: school official stealing money meant for children and using it
Speaker 3: to fund luxury lifestyles. According to a report from the
Speaker 3: State Financial Officers Foundation and Open the Books to Southern California,
Speaker 3: school leaders separately stole about twenty million dollars from their
Speaker 3: public school systems. In Orange County, former Magnolia Elementary School
Speaker 3: District fiscal services director Jorge Armando Contreras was charged with
Speaker 3: altering school checks and frontally sixteen point seven million dollars
Speaker 3: into his home bank account. The investigators say he spent
Speaker 3: the money on luxury homes, a BMW designer clothing, expensive tequila,
Speaker 3: as well as expensive jewelry. Federal agents found cash hidden
Speaker 3: in a mini fridge. I guess that's what they mean
Speaker 3: when they say cold cash and designer bags at his home.
Speaker 3: He was sentenced in twenty twenty four to six years
Speaker 3: in federal prison and ordered to pay sixteen point seven
Speaker 3: million dollars. In Los Angeles Community Preparatory Academy charter school
Speaker 3: leader Janis Bucknore stole more than three million dollars in
Speaker 3: taxpayer funds for travel, restaurants, shopping, private school, torching for
Speaker 3: her children, and more than two hundred and twenty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars in Disneyland related expenses. She received probation was ordered
Speaker 3: to pay two point five million in restitution. Anyone who
Speaker 3: thinks that all of this fraud when it comes to
Speaker 3: federal spending is not going to be an issue in
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six election doesn't understand American politics. These
Speaker 3: cases involves embezzlement, fake in voices, inflated enrollment, bid rigging,
Speaker 3: and kickbacks and the corruption. All of what you find
Speaker 3: in the Blue states and the big Blue cities will
Speaker 3: be a major issue in twenty twenty six. You heard
Speaker 3: about it here first in the Stone Zone. Thank you
Speaker 3: for joining us in the Stone Zone today. We try
Speaker 3: to bring you the cutting edge politics that you won't
Speaker 3: hear anyplace else until tomorrow. God bless you and God speed.
