00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>My fellow Americans. If you think you know politics, think again.

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Michael Cohen, and every week on When you Know

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you Know, we're pulling back the curtain on power, politics, media,

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and the people making headlines. On my new WABC radio show,

5
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>you'll hear conversations from names that you know, people like

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Fowell Junior, Anthony Scaramucci, Alan Dershowitz, and many many more.

7
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe just maybe we'll even hear from the President. No scripts,

8
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>no spin, just real conversations with people who were in

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>the room where it happened. And trust me, we've got

10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>some very big surprises coming. Look, I've spent years at

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the center of politics, controversy and power. I know the players,

12
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I know the stories, and now I'm bringing you inside

13
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>When you Know you Know Sundays at five pm on

14
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>WABC Radio, and When you Know you Know Unleashed wherever

15
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you get your podcasts, because with me, you'd never know

16
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>who's going to show up.

17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple

18
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 2>podcast Networks.

19
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Last night on the Stone Zone, the chairman of the

20
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 3>Italian American Civil Rights League, Mike Crispy, condemned Mayor Zorre

21
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>and Ma'amdami after his administration released a list of New

22
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 3>York City's Immigrant Enclage, a map reportedly highlighting dozens of

23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 3>ethnic neighborhoods across New York City while ignoring one of

24
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>the most important of them all, Little Italy. Mike Crispy

25
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 3>said this was not a clerical error. He said it

26
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>was correctly. He said this was cultural erasure, and he

27
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 3>correctly said that Italy is sacred ground. It's where Italian

28
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 3>immigrants came from. Nothing, worked hard, open shopped, raised families,

29
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 3>built churches, fed the city and helped make New York

30
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 3>what it is today. Well, after that show last night,

31
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Ma'amdami is in full retreat. Let's listen to the mayor. Hi,

32
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>mister mayor, how are you well?

33
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 4>How are you fine?

34
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Thank you? Can you please address the controversy that has

35
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 5>developed over the city's immigrant enclave's list. Do you believe

36
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 5>that there are neighborhoods that were left off that list?

37
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 5>And if the city plans to add more, which other

38
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 5>neighborhoods do you think should be added?

39
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 4>So this map was initially created by the prior administration

40
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty three, and when we inherited it. We

41
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 4>added a few additional neighborhoods. It's clearly not an exhaustive

42
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 4>list of the more than two hundred ethnic communities that

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 4>call our city home. And we're going to be making

44
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 4>additional changes in the future to reflect that. And that

45
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 4>includes adding Little Lily to the map, and that includes

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 4>adding little Italy to the map, a little little.

47
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 3>And there you have it. The mayor in full it retreat.

48
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 3>First of all, he threw his predecessor, Eric Adams under

49
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 3>the boss, saying it was really his map. But this

50
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 3>is a first hand demonstration of citizen action, and I

51
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 3>think the present the mayor probably should have also apologized,

52
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 3>proud of the role that we played here in the

53
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Stone Zone. And for those who are interested in the

54
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Italian American Civil Rights a League, the nonprofit volunteer organization

55
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 3>that mobilized very quickly to put heat on the mayor,

56
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 3>you can go to IACRL dot org again a voluntary

57
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 3>nonprofit organization. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is moving to take

58
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 3>out the trash at the Election Assistance Commission after that

59
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 3>agency shamefully resisted his push to require a proof of

60
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>US citizenship before voter registration. The White House confirmed that

61
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>President Trump removed the commission's two Democrat members, Thomas Hicks

62
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 3>and Benjamin Hoveland, the Republican seats who are already vacant after

63
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Christy McCormick resigned and Donald Palmer left his seat earlier

64
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 3>this year. Now, this commission oversees federal election grants voting

65
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>system testing in the National Voter Registration Form. That form

66
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 3>currently tells applicants that it's illegal to falsely claimed citizenship,

67
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>but it does not require documentary proof of citizenship. That's

68
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 3>exactly the loophole that President Trump has been trying to close. Democrats,

69
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 3>of course, immediately accuse the President of politicizing elections. But

70
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 3>the real scandal here is that Washington elites think that

71
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 3>requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is somehow controversial.

72
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Voting is a sacred right of all American citizens. It

73
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 3>should not depend on an honor system, bureaucratic paperwork, or

74
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 3>vague assurances from agencies that resist basic safeguards. This is

75
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>what they Save America Act is all about. Polls showed

76
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 3>that ninety seven percent of Americans agree with the concept

77
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 3>that you should be a legal resident of the United States,

78
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.519
<v Speaker 3>a citizen of the United States and have a photo

79
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 3>ID in order to vote. The Supreme Court recently affirmed

80
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 3>broad presidential authority to remove officials from independent agency boards,

81
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 3>giving President Trump a much stronger legal hand in this

82
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 3>very fight. The White House says the president has the

83
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 3>right to remove officials not aligned with securing elections and

84
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>ensuring that every legal vote is counted. That is, of

85
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 3>course my point. We need accountability within the federal bureaucracy.

86
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 3>This is not a permanent position isolated for political pressure.

87
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 3>President Trump knows that he is that, and he's acting accordingly.

88
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 3>If a bureaucrat is unwilling to defend election integrity, they

89
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 3>don't belong on the Election Assistants Commission. These positions are

90
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 3>not extremism, they're just common sense. If you need identification

91
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 3>and proof of eligibility for virtually every aspect of daily life,

92
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 3>whether it's buying a pack of cigarettes getting on an airplane,

93
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>then it is not unreasonable to require the same proof

94
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.120
<v Speaker 3>of citizenship for voter registration at a bare Minimumwhile how

95
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Secretary of State Marco Rubio is pushing America's allies to

96
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 3>take the threat of violent far left extremism seriously, including

97
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 3>the Antifa linked networks, according to reports, Secretary Rubio is

98
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>urging foreign governments to work with the United States on

99
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 3>political violence tied to far left movements, arguing that some

100
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 3>groups connected to Antifa operperate across borders and should be

101
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 3>treated as part of a broader extremist threat. State Department

102
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 3>spokesman Tommy Pigott said violent far left terrorism is not new,

103
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 3>but an old threat re emerging with trans national links.

104
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 3>He said, the administration is focused on activity that meets

105
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 3>the definition of terrorism, such as assassinations, kidnappings, threats against

106
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the US facilities and law enforcement attacks on critical infrastructure,

107
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 3>military personnel, and civilians. In my opinion, this is a

108
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 3>long overdue correction. For years, the political class observed these

109
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 3>threats from the right while downplaying black clad militants burning cities,

110
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 3>attacking police, threatening citizens, and sabotaging infrastructure. Some European governments

111
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>reportedly skeptical, claiming that Antifa is not a major concern

112
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>compared with Islamist terrorisms, organized crime, cyber attack, or other

113
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 3>hostile foreign states. Perhaps, but I think they're missing the

114
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>forest for the trees here. A serious government can proNT

115
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>more than one threat at a time. Antifa link cells

116
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>have claimed destructive attacks, including Tesla infrastructure near Berlin, and

117
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>similar taxics have appeared here in our own country. As

118
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>long as we have partners in Europe, they must be

119
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 3>compelled to take the far left extremist threat seriously. Otherwise,

120
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 3>what is the point of the partnership if they stand

121
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 3>unwilling to defend civilization when it matters the most. Secretary

122
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Rubio's leadership in this situation is a stark departure from

123
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 3>previous regimes that claimed, because the propaganda spread by groups

124
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 3>like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti Defamationally,

125
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 3>that Antifa was just an idea, just a concept, not

126
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 3>really an organization. Well that I asked, who pays for

127
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 3>the palettes of bricks, Who pays for the flatbed trucks

128
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 3>and the buses? Who pays to bail these monsters out

129
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>of jail on those rare occasions when they are arrested.

130
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Antifa is very real, and it's time for us to

131
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 3>take it as the terrorist threat that it really is. Meanwhile,

132
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 3>serious questions continue to grow around Senator Mitch McConnell's mysterious hospitalization.

133
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 3>I think the American people deserve answers as to what

134
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 3>may be an establishment conspiracy. New video and iwinness accounts

135
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 3>supportedly show emergency responders taking the senator from Kentucky from

136
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 3>his Washington home on a stretcher last month after a

137
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 3>call from an unconscious person came through nine to one.

138
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>One audio published by an independent journalist indicated that responders

139
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 3>were dispatched for a possible cardiac arrest, with CPR in

140
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 3>progress that can be heard clearly on the recording. Yeah,

141
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 3>McConnell's office has offered only vague statements saying he was

142
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 3>hospitalized receiving excellent care. A couple weeks later, the public

143
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 3>still hadn't been told what happened, what his condition really is,

144
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 3>or why one of Kentucky's US senator has been absent

145
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>for major votes. Now, this is not just an ordinary

146
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 3>citizen who's entitled to privacy. This is an eighty four

147
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 3>year old senator who's a vote effects war powers, spending, judges,

148
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 3>and the direction of the country. Pumpkin leaders and insiders

149
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 3>now claim that they've spoken with McConnell by phone and

150
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 3>that he sounds strong. Count me as skeptical. Their comments

151
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 3>seem remarkably limited, carefully worded and kind of light on details.

152
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Why not just have Senator McConnell emerge and give a

153
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 3>statement of his own After years of Washington hiding the

154
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>true condition of aging leaders, Americans have every right here

155
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>to be skeptical. We saw at first hand with Joe Biden.

156
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 3>We saw how many people lied blatantly to the masses

157
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 3>when it serves their political agenda. With McConnell, we've seen

158
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>his mental fitness de climb precipitously in recent years. Still

159
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 3>he has remained in office to be a sturdy vote

160
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 3>against MAGA. On the other hand, if the Senator is

161
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 3>incapacitated or should he pass, his appointment would be failled.

162
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 3>His vacancy would be filmed by a Democrat governor. Kentucky voters,

163
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 3>the American people deserve to know right now whether Senator

164
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>McConnell is capable of serving, and if he's not, he

165
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 3>should resign and be replaced with someone else who could

166
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 3>vote affirmatively on the same America Act. Before it is

167
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 3>too late, I correct myself, he actually would be appointed

168
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 3>by a Republican governor. Meanwhile, federal authorities have charged eight

169
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 3>men in an alleged terror plot tarnting President Donald Trump,

170
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Vice President J. D Vance, Elon Musk, and other senior

171
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 3>figures during the UFC Freedom two fifty event at the

172
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 3>White House in June. So it wasn't a conspiracy theory.

173
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 3>A federal grand jury in Ohio returned a two count

174
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 3>indictment charging the defendants with conspiring to provide materials and

175
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 3>support to terrorists, conspired to commit murder on federal property,

176
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 3>and conspiring to kill federal officials. All those, of course,

177
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 3>are capital crimes. Investigators were reportedly alerted to the threat

178
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 3>on June tenth, just four days before the UFC event.

179
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Seven suspects were quickly arrested before any attacks could take place,

180
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank god. The final suspect, twenty one year old Chandler Skaggs,

181
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 3>who prosecutors say was assigned to act as a sniper,

182
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 3>was arrested just this past week in West Virginia. Prosecutors

183
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 3>say the plot began forming in May with a group

184
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 3>gathering cash, firearms, ammunition, explosives, drones, protective gear, medical supplies,

185
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 3>and communication devices in order to take out key administration

186
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 3>figures at the UFC fight on the White House grounds.

187
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 3>They allegedly used platforms including Signal, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, and

188
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 3>others to coordinated their diabolical plan. Authority say the group

189
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 3>held extreme left wing anti government conspiracy beliefs and wanted

190
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>to take down the United States to fulfill their sick

191
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 3>ideological fantasies. This is exactly why law enforcement must treat

192
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 3>political violence as a serious national security threat. There are

193
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.519
<v Speaker 3>plenty of radicalized nutjobs fed hysteria by one of the

194
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 3>two parties and the namestream media over a decade now

195
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 3>who want to as the former FBI director put it

196
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 3>eighty six forty seven, no, we cannot let the terrorists

197
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 3>swin the Trump administration. Federal agents and the local law

198
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 3>enforcement partners did tremendous work in stopping a potential massacre

199
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 3>before it could take place. The radical left does not

200
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.720
<v Speaker 3>believe in free speech, their Marxist ideologies and method to Americanism.

201
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 3>If Joe McCarthy was wrong, it's because he didn't go

202
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 3>far enough. Meanwhile, the FBI, under Director Cash Battel, says

203
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 3>the bureau has arrested one hundred and thirteen active foreign spies,

204
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 3>making a major escalation America's counterintelligence fight under the Trump administration.

205
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 3>According to the FBI director, the arrests are aimed at

206
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 3>keeping American technology at home and protecting US defense secrets

207
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 3>from hostile regimes. The FBI also said it forced removal

208
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 3>of sixty two Chinese spies in twenty twenty six alone,

209
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 3>dealing a serious blow to the Chinese Common Party operations

210
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.559
<v Speaker 3>inside the United States. You see four years China has

211
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 3>targeted American military secrets, trade secrets, universities, defense contractors, and

212
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 3>dissidents living on US soil. A House Homeland Security report

213
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 3>found that the CCP espionage cases spanned across twenty states,

214
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 3>including schemes involving sensitive military information, stolen intellectual property, and

215
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>intimidation of Chinese distance. Recent cases included former Navy sailor

216
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 3>sentenced to more than sixteen years in prison for selling

217
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 3>information about the uss Essex to Chinese intelligence, as well

218
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 3>as a US citizen who pled guilty to acting as

219
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 3>an agent of China. The FBI is moving abbrestling against

220
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 3>these cyber threats, including North Korean fishing operations and Chinese

221
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 3>backed intermet domains targeting Americans with security clearances. At the

222
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 3>same time, FBI Director Patel says the FBI's treating cartels

223
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 3>like foreign terrorist threats, with roughly forty eight hundred cartel

224
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 3>members having been arrested. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening to

225
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 3>The Stone Zone, and we'll be back with more on

226
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 3>the other side.

227
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple

228
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 2>podcast network.

229
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps the first man should be prosecuted, convicted, and locked

230
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 3>up for their role in the anti Trump conspiracy that

231
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 3>was Arctic Frost. His former special counsel, Jack Smith, US

232
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Senator from Iowa. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,

233
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 3>is raising serious questions about Smith's prosecution team after message

234
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 3>reportedly showed classified material were handled carelessly by the very

235
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 3>people prosecuting President Trump over his handling of classified material.

236
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 3>You can't make this stuff up. According to Grassley, internal

237
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 3>messages from teams Smith's team indicate that a secure facility

238
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 3>used to review sensitive information was left open overnight and

239
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 3>possibly longer. In one exchange, a prosecution team member asked

240
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 3>who had opened the facility. Another implied that no one

241
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 3>had opened it because no one had closed it the

242
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 3>day before. Second set of messages reportedly showed that the

243
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 3>team used classified materials and sent them to an unidentified

244
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 3>person without confirming that person had a need to know

245
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 3>or a security clearance. This is stunning hypocrisy if you

246
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.799
<v Speaker 3>think about it. Remember they were rated mar Lago, the

247
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 3>President's home in South Florida, on the pretext that he

248
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.679
<v Speaker 3>had illegally held on to classified material. Yet under the

249
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Presidential Records Act, they of course knew that the President

250
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 3>had the full authority to not only have, but maintain

251
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and he classify any material he wished. Jack Smith's office

252
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 3>was prosecuting Trump for this alleged mishandling classified material, while

253
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 3>according to these records, members of his own team were

254
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 3>mishandling classified materials themselves. Class He called it another example

255
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 3>of the two tier justice system, and he asked the

256
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 3>acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche for more records, including whether

257
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 3>the unsecured facility contained materials connected to the Trump case.

258
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 3>The Justice Department says it takes classified information seriously and

259
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 3>will review whether protocols were violated. We've certainly heard that

260
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 3>song and dance before. Now there must be swift action

261
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 3>to show that these lawbreakers are not involved in competence,

262
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 3>but were malicious and the hypocrisy and treason simply won't

263
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.279
<v Speaker 3>be tolerated. This goes far beyond just classified documents. This,

264
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.160
<v Speaker 3>in my opinion, is about equal justice under the law

265
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 3>and whether Washington d c elitists will ever be compelled

266
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 3>to play by the same rules they impose on every

267
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 3>other citizen. Until they are prosecuted and convicted, There'll be

268
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 3>nothing stopping Jack Smith and the rest of the Deep

269
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 3>States of burders repeating these same ops the first chance

270
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 3>they get. There's no question that the Russian collusion hoax

271
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 3>was the greatest single abuse of power in which the

272
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 3>full authority of the US Garment was used for strictly

273
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 3>political reasons. The second greatest sturdy trick of all time

274
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 3>would have to be Operation Arctic Frost. Remember when they

275
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.799
<v Speaker 3>asked Joe Biden whether he was concerned about a rematch

276
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.640
<v Speaker 3>with Johnald Trump. In that telling moment, he grinned and

277
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.559
<v Speaker 3>said no, because we're not going to let him run.

278
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden himself blurted it all out. You're in the

279
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Stone Zone. I'm Rogerstone. We got play more politics for

280
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 3>you on the other sides. Whatever you do, don't go away.

281

283
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.559
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back into the Stone Zone. On the morning of Thursday,

284
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 3>July ninth, in Palm Beach, Florida, but was formerly Palm

285
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Beach International Airport officially became known as President Donald J.

286
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 3>Trump International Airport. In classic Trump style, the Commander in

287
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 3>Chief's iconic seven point fifty seven, known as Trump Force

288
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.880
<v Speaker 3>one touchdown, making history as the first aircraft to land

289
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 3>at the permanently renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport,

290
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.359
<v Speaker 3>which will forever carry the name in airport code d JT.

291
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 3>This renaming is completely unprecedented and truly historic. Marks the

292
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 3>first time his sitting president has had an airport named

293
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 3>after him. But why not. The rebrand was supported by

294
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 3>the people of Florida and proceeded despite pushback and losses

295
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 3>from critics who raise concerns about costs and describe the

296
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.079
<v Speaker 3>initiative as a political stunt. But I've seen the new signage,

297
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 3>the fresh logos, the new uniforms, and the marketing materials

298
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 3>are being implemented in phases to complete the transition while

299
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 3>keeping operations at the airport running smoothly. The Trump Organization

300
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.039
<v Speaker 3>provided a perpetual license for the project, and the airport

301
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.720
<v Speaker 3>code transition was integrated efficiently for pilots, airlines and passengers

302
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.480
<v Speaker 3>on board air Force One for the historical landing was

303
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 3>Congressman Byron Donalds and his wife Erica, along with Eric Trump,

304
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump Junior, and other supporters. Eric Trump said it best.

305
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 3>There's no person who's done more for Florida and our country,

306
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 3>and no one more deserving than this incredible honor. It's

307
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 3>now incidental that President Trump has endorsed Congressman Byron Donalds,

308
00:19:54.480 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Republican Congressman from Naples, for the gubernatorial nomination here in

309
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.240
<v Speaker 3>the state of Florida, and Pole's show Donald's is running

310
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 3>away with that contest, leading by more than fifty points.

311
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 3>He also notably now has ninety million dollars in the

312
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 3>bank that he's raised for his game his campaign. The

313
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.799
<v Speaker 3>renaming of the airport, of course, celebrates the administration's strong economy,

314
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 3>secure borders, and restored respect and love for America, achievements

315
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 3>that Florida proudly recognizes. The airport will continue to welcome

316
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 3>millions of travelers drawing to the sun golf opportunities and

317
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 3>positioning DJT Airport as a gateway to the American dream.

318
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 3>Travelers arriving at the facility now encountered the new identity

319
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.960
<v Speaker 3>upon landing looking ahead. Airport officials will continue rolling out

320
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 3>additional signage, branding, and operational changes. Other US airports named

321
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 3>after president includes those honoring Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower,

322
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 3>John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and of course,

323
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 3>George H. W. Bush. The implementation has followed FAA procedures

324
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 3>to ensure safety and continuity and air traffic management and

325
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 3>passenger processing. Personally, that can't wait till not only Trump

326
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 3>International Airport. Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services

327
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:24.000
<v Speaker 3>proposing an injury table under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program,

328
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 3>which handles claims related to COVID nineteen vaccinations. The table

329
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 3>with lists vaccination related injuries that government officials agree are

330
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 3>supported by strong medical and scientific evidence, along with the

331
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 3>time frame which symptoms must appear under Secretary of Robert F.

332
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Kennedy Junior, who polls show, by the way, as the

333
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:49.000
<v Speaker 3>most popular member of the Trump cabinet, HHS says it

334
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 3>is restoring transparency and accountability given Americans accurate information about

335
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 3>both the benefits and the known risks of medical countermeasures

336
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.240
<v Speaker 3>to me, this is long overdue. For years, Americans were

337
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.799
<v Speaker 3>told to take the shot and stop asking questions. Trust

338
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 3>this experts, trust the science, we were told. But when

339
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 3>people reported serious injuries, including some cases sudden death, they

340
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 3>were ignored, dismissed, or called nuts. The claims were buried

341
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 3>in a rig compensation system designed to protect big pharma

342
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 3>that rejected roughly ninety nine percent of claims. Through June,

343
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 3>only sixty COVID injury vaccination injury claims had reportedly been compensated,

344
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 3>mostly involving mile cardatis, with average payouts around four thousand dollars,

345
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:44.440
<v Speaker 3>except for a few slightly larger rewards. Watchdog groups representing

346
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 3>vaccination injured Americans argue other serious conditions deserve fair review.

347
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 3>No government entity should pressure people in taking a medical

348
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 3>product and then abandon those who were harmed by it.

349
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 3>Those who chose to the shot had the right to

350
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 3>do so. Those who chose not to also had the

351
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.440
<v Speaker 3>right not to do so. After all, this was a

352
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 3>product that had not gone through clinical trials and the

353
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 3>makers of whom had no legal liability. Transportation, transparency, compensation

354
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 3>and accountability are not misinformation. Contrary to what some called

355
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 3>so called medical experts may be saying after the excesses

356
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of the COVID nineteen lockdown, President Trump was reelected to

357
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.759
<v Speaker 3>change the public health status quote. That's exactly what RFK

358
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Junior is doing, and now it's time for those who've

359
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 3>been injured by dangerous experimental vaccinations to receive justice. Meanwhile,

360
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 3>the Justice Department under Donald Trump is reversing another Biden

361
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 3>era attack on American energy. On July seventh, the Department

362
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 3>of Justice said the Bidy administration's restriction on oil and

363
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 3>gas leasing in northern Alaska's Arctic region violated federal law.

364
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 3>The Department is now asking the court to dismiss lawsuits

365
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 3>by Alaska and its Industrial Development Authority after reaching a

366
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:08.799
<v Speaker 3>settlement over the dispute. At issue is the coastal plane

367
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 3>of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where Congress set aside

368
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.519
<v Speaker 3>one point five million acres for potential oil and gas

369
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 3>development in twenty seventeen. Congress directed the federal government to

370
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.319
<v Speaker 3>move forward with responsible energy leasing in those lands, but

371
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 3>Alaska argued that the bide administration sabotaged that process with

372
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 3>restrictions so severe that real development became economically and practically impossible.

373
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 3>This is at a time, of course, that we are

374
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 3>struggling for energy independence. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said

375
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 3>that the Biden leasing program improperly limited Alaska's energy potential

376
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 3>with unreasonable regulation. The settlement effectively restores the law and

377
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:58.839
<v Speaker 3>supports American energy independence, undoing Biden administration policies that made

378
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 3>America weaker, less prosperous, and more dependent on hostile nations

379
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 3>for our energy. Trump Administration's decision is a huge victory

380
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:12.400
<v Speaker 3>for national security, jobs, lower energy costs, and the future

381
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 3>of Alaska's economy. Governor Mike Dunlevy had argued these resources

382
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.759
<v Speaker 3>would strengthen the America Partony Alaska Permanent Fund and benefit

383
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 3>future generations. On the same day, the Department of Justice

384
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>also settled a decades's old lawsuit over a failed federal

385
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 3>port expansion in Anchorage, Alaska, agreeing to pay Alaska one

386
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 3>hundred and eighty million dollars to rebuild the Don Young

387
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 3>name for a veteran congressman who actually was a friend

388
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 3>of mine, which serves most of the state's population. Under

389
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 3>the visionary leadership President Donald Trump, America's building, drilling, and

390
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.319
<v Speaker 3>correcting the failures of President Joe Biden and the Democrats. Meanwhile,

391
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.559
<v Speaker 3>a new Gallup post challenging one of the establishment's favorite

392
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 3>myths that massive proggration automatically helps prosperity and strengthens the

393
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 3>free market. According to Gallops June survey, Americans are more

394
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 3>likely to say immigration hurts job opportunities for US born

395
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.960
<v Speaker 3>workers than helps them. They're even more negative when it

396
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 3>comes to the question of housing, with forty percent saying

397
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 3>that immigration worsens housing availability and costs, compared with just

398
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty three percent who say that it actually helps it.

399
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 3>This matters because working Americans are living with the consequences

400
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 3>of mass illegal migration and sees disasters effects firsthand, while

401
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>coke funded academics and Ivory towers few free market slop

402
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.920
<v Speaker 3>to justify the unjustifiable. Basic common sense dictates that as

403
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.880
<v Speaker 3>more people are competing for the same homes or the

404
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 3>same jobs, it means higher rent prices, higher prices, and

405
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 3>more unemployment. More workers competing for the same jobs means

406
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.559
<v Speaker 3>weaker embarking power and lower wages as well. So this

407
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 3>isn't free market prosperity. This is government managed labor inflation

408
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 3>for the benefit of corporations, landlords, and the political elites. Unfortunately,

409
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 3>for a long time, Republicans brought into this dogma for

410
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 3>far too long. Actually, before President Donald Trump came down

411
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.680
<v Speaker 3>that golden escalator kind of snapped the gop out of it.

412
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 3>The pro immigration lobby wants America to believe the falsehood

413
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 3>that endless migration fills workforce gaps and boost stax revenues.

414
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 3>But now we're seeing the fruits and they are sour. Indeed,

415
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 3>we've crowded schools, strained services, unaffordable housing, and American workers

416
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 3>passed over for cheaper labor. Stopping the flood. If illegal

417
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 3>migration will help bring down home prices and make family

418
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 3>formation possible again for younger Americans, immigration policy should serve

419
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.160
<v Speaker 3>American citizens first. The idea that foreign labor is necessary

420
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.680
<v Speaker 3>for America to thrive is erroneous to say the least.

421
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 3>We need a fair market in this country, one that

422
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 3>does not require flooding the country with cheap labor to

423
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 3>maximize corporate profits while taxpayers absorb the costs. Meanwhile, no

424
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 3>surprise here, a Minneapolis daycare owner has pled guilty in

425
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 3>federal court to wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the

426
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 3>United States after stealing millions of dollars from programs meant

427
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to actually help children and families. Fahima and Mahmoud, former

428
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 3>CEO of Future Leader's Early Learning Center near George Floyd Square,

429
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.160
<v Speaker 3>admitted to submitting fraudulent claims through Minnesota's childcare Assistance program

430
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 3>and the federal child nutrition program tied to massive Feeding

431
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Our Futures scandal. Federal prosecutors say Mamod stole more than

432
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 3>four point six million dollars by filing roughly thirteen thousand

433
00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 3>fraudulent childcare reimbursement claims between twenty twenty two twenty twenty five.

434
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 3>She also was accused of falsely claiming her daycare center

435
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 3>was serving huge numbers of meals to children, including submitting

436
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 3>PaperWorks sent the Senator two meals a day to one

437
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 3>thousand children, seven days a week. It was all completely fraudulent.

438
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Between January and July twenty twenty one, the daycare center

439
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.480
<v Speaker 3>received more than eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars of

440
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 3>your tax dollars in federal nutrition funds. Now prosecutor say

441
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 3>only a fraction actually went to food. The case drew

442
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 3>renewed attention after the young independent journalist Nick Shirley featured

443
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:41.680
<v Speaker 3>the daycare center and a viral intervigation into suspicious Minnesota

444
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 3>daycare operations. State officials later conducted checks and Future Leaders

445
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.599
<v Speaker 3>closed in January. This is exactly why independent journalism matters

446
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:53.599
<v Speaker 3>and why we ask people to listen to shows like

447
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 3>The Stone Zone. While bureaucrats failed to protect taxpayer dollars,

448
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 3>citizen reporters helped expose with government oversight missed. Nearly one

449
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:05.599
<v Speaker 3>hundred people have now been charged in Feeding our Future

450
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:09.640
<v Speaker 3>scandal in Minnesota, So I'd say that the lesson is cleared.

451
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Public benefits should help the vulnerable, not enriched fraudster's gaming

452
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 3>the system. Trump administration is now closing all of these

453
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.759
<v Speaker 3>scams down nationwide, and not a moment too soon. The

454
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 3>era of defrauding the taxpayers is coming to a swift end. Meanwhile,

455
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 3>the Federal Reserve is facing quite a backlashed after reporting

456
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Xbox CEO Asha Sharma to new task force on Productivity

457
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 3>and Jobs. Just as Microsoft is under fire for laying

458
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.880
<v Speaker 3>off America workers while receiving approval to hire thousands of

459
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 3>foreign H one B VISA employees, Sharma's Xbox division announced

460
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 3>sixteen hundred layoffs this week, part of Microsoft's broader play

461
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.400
<v Speaker 3>in to cut forty eight hundred jobs. Seems like an

462
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.000
<v Speaker 3>unlikely person to appoint to a task force on productivity

463
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:00.839
<v Speaker 3>in job creation.

464
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.079
<v Speaker 1>No.

465
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:04.759
<v Speaker 3>At the same time, federal data shows that Microsoft had

466
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 3>approved earlier this year to hire another twenty two one

467
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 3>hundred HB one workers. So no Sharma has been selected

468
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 3>to advise the Federal Reserve on jobs. That's not just

469
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 3>tone deaf, it's actually unacceptable at a time when Vice

470
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:22.920
<v Speaker 3>President JD. Vance and the Trump administration are investigating H

471
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 3>one visa abuse and fighting put American workers first. The

472
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.880
<v Speaker 3>FAT should not be elevating executives associated with mass layoffs

473
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 3>and foreign labor pipelines. Microsoft since the customer based on

474
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 3>business needs, not visa status, and says that some H

475
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.000
<v Speaker 3>one B employees were also affected. But the bigger picture

476
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 3>here is corporate giants are cutting US jobs, importing cheaper labor,

477
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:53.920
<v Speaker 3>then getting rewarded with prestigious government influence in the aftermath.

478
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.279
<v Speaker 3>Sharma is not the type of person wh should be

479
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.319
<v Speaker 3>giving advice on employment to the nation's central bank. She

480
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 3>should be removed from his task force as as possible.

481
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 3>In my view, the Federal Reserve needs advisors who understand

482
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:11.440
<v Speaker 3>American workers, not executives from big tech companies or guilty

483
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:15.559
<v Speaker 3>of replacing them. America First means American jobs for American workers,

484
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.119
<v Speaker 3>not lectures from globalists who profit while American families lose

485
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 3>their paychecks. Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone.

486
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 3>When we come back, Argentina's president Javil Malay is taking

487
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.400
<v Speaker 3>another page from Donald Trump. Malay and I became friends,

488
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.839
<v Speaker 3>believe it or not, over what used to be Twitter

489
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 3>now is X when he sent me a favorable direct

490
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 3>message and that bloomed into a friendship. Little did I

491
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.680
<v Speaker 3>know that the eccentric congressman would end up as one

492
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:48.400
<v Speaker 3>of the most successful presidents in all of Latin America.

493
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for listening to the Stone Zone, and my friend

494
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Javier Malay will be right back. More politics on the other.

495
00:32:55.119 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Side Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple podcast networks.

496
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 3>Argentina's president Javier Malay is actually a very good friend

497
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 3>of mine. I indicated we met online. He was a

498
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.480
<v Speaker 3>congressman thought to be an eccentric but a free market economist,

499
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 3>and I remember very specifically when he asked me what

500
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 3>I thought he should shave his Elvis style sideburns, and

501
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.559
<v Speaker 3>I said absolutely not that. And of course, brandishing a

502
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:32.400
<v Speaker 3>buzz saw and saying that he was going to cut

503
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 3>government became like a trademark for his incredibly successful campaign.

504
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Now President of Argentina, Javey Malay, is taking another page

505
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:44.440
<v Speaker 3>from President Trump's playbook, and this one cuts straight to

506
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 3>the heart of runaway government spending. Malay announced he wants

507
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Argentina to adopt a shutdown style mechanism, similar to the

508
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:56.359
<v Speaker 3>United States, where government spending stops when budget authority runs out.

509
00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 3>Malay believes politicians do not pass a budget, they shouldn't

510
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:03.319
<v Speaker 3>just keep spending anyway. See that would be a major

511
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:07.279
<v Speaker 3>break from Argentina's current system, where government continue operating under

512
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 3>old budget rules with adjustments made by the executive branch.

513
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Malay says that has helped fuel decades of fiscal abuse, inflation,

514
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 3>and political fraud against law abiding Argentines. This is part

515
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 3>of Malay's broader reform package aimed shrinking government, protecting the

516
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 3>independence of Argentina's Central bank, stopping politicians from printing money

517
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:34.159
<v Speaker 3>to finance spending, deregulating markets, and restructuring taxes. Malay, of course,

518
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.639
<v Speaker 3>has long argued that reckless spending and money printing destroyed

519
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 3>Argentina's economent, and now he wants legal and even criminal

520
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:45.440
<v Speaker 3>penalties for using currency creation to fund government deficits. A

521
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 3>man in Malay's talents would certainly thrive with a government

522
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.679
<v Speaker 3>shutdown mechanism because he wouldn't be shy about playing hardball

523
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to public spending. Argentina's socialist and big

524
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 3>government establishment have produced runaway inflation, poverty, corruption, and general

525
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.400
<v Speaker 3>national decline. Malay knows the problem, and he's willing to

526
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.840
<v Speaker 3>be bold to deliver a solution. His alignment with Trump is,

527
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 3>by the way, no accident that I put the to

528
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 3>men in touch with each other. These leaders are cut

529
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.480
<v Speaker 3>from the same cloth and both understand the basic truth

530
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:20.239
<v Speaker 3>that nations do not become prosperous by empowering bureaucrats. They

531
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 3>become prosperous by limiting government, protecting markets, and preventing the

532
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 3>takers from looting the makers. That's exactly what President Malay's

533
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:33.000
<v Speaker 3>attempted to do by wisely putting the shutdown provision into

534
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.480
<v Speaker 3>the functioning of the Argentine government. And already you have

535
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:40.360
<v Speaker 3>seen the results of the austerity and the tax relief

536
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 3>he's brought to his country. Meanwhile, a new report exposing

537
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 3>another ugly example of education fraud, this time in California,

538
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 3>school official stealing money meant for children and using it

539
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 3>to fund luxury lifestyles. According to a report from the

540
00:35:56.119 --> 00:36:01.320
<v Speaker 3>State Financial Officers Foundation and Open the Books to Southern California,

541
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.440
<v Speaker 3>school leaders separately stole about twenty million dollars from their

542
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 3>public school systems. In Orange County, former Magnolia Elementary School

543
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 3>District fiscal services director Jorge Armando Contreras was charged with

544
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 3>altering school checks and frontally sixteen point seven million dollars

545
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 3>into his home bank account. The investigators say he spent

546
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 3>the money on luxury homes, a BMW designer clothing, expensive tequila,

547
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:32.400
<v Speaker 3>as well as expensive jewelry. Federal agents found cash hidden

548
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.760
<v Speaker 3>in a mini fridge. I guess that's what they mean

549
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 3>when they say cold cash and designer bags at his home.

550
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.599
<v Speaker 3>He was sentenced in twenty twenty four to six years

551
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 3>in federal prison and ordered to pay sixteen point seven

552
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.639
<v Speaker 3>million dollars. In Los Angeles Community Preparatory Academy charter school

553
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.480
<v Speaker 3>leader Janis Bucknore stole more than three million dollars in

554
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:58.480
<v Speaker 3>taxpayer funds for travel, restaurants, shopping, private school, torching for

555
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 3>her children, and more than two hundred and twenty thousand

556
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 3>dollars in Disneyland related expenses. She received probation was ordered

557
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 3>to pay two point five million in restitution. Anyone who

558
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.000
<v Speaker 3>thinks that all of this fraud when it comes to

559
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 3>federal spending is not going to be an issue in

560
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 3>the twenty twenty six election doesn't understand American politics. These

561
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 3>cases involves embezzlement, fake in voices, inflated enrollment, bid rigging,

562
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.960
<v Speaker 3>and kickbacks and the corruption. All of what you find

563
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.519
<v Speaker 3>in the Blue states and the big Blue cities will

564
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.119
<v Speaker 3>be a major issue in twenty twenty six. You heard

565
00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:35.840
<v Speaker 3>about it here first in the Stone Zone. Thank you
