Speaker 1: The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 1: podcast network.
Speaker 2: This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone. People love
Speaker 2: him and respect him.
Speaker 3: Rogers Stone, Now get him a zone. It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 3: Here's Rogerstone.
Speaker 4: You are now entering the Stone Zone. Joining you now
Speaker 4: from Washington.
Speaker 2: D C.
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the nation tomorrow
Speaker 4: evening at nine pm Eastern regarding newly discovered evidence of
Speaker 4: foreign interference in the twenty twenty presidential election. Now does
Speaker 4: this regard China or Venezuela or Ukraine, Well, nobody really knows.
Speaker 4: The President's aids are being extraordinarily tight lipped about it,
Speaker 4: as is the intelligence community. So if you want to know,
Speaker 4: you're just going to have to tune in. That's what
Speaker 4: I'll be doing. There are some who are saying already
Speaker 4: in the mainstream media that this is just a distraction
Speaker 4: from the twenty twenty six elections. Of those are the
Speaker 4: same people who tried tended to downgrade the disclosures by
Speaker 4: Tolcy Gabbert when she declassified documents that proved definitively that
Speaker 4: the Russian collusion narrative was a hoax cooked up by
Speaker 4: President Barack Obama and his intelligence community leaders, including the
Speaker 4: CIA Director John Brennan, the FBI Director James call Me,
Speaker 4: the Director of National Intelligence, General Clapper, and so on.
Speaker 4: So once again, I expect the President to have some
Speaker 4: bombshell evelations tomorrow that the mainstream media will immediately try
Speaker 4: to poo poo and downplay. Meanwhile, President Trump's latest moves
Speaker 4: in the Straits of Hormu show that his new pressure
Speaker 4: campaign against Iran is working and that the conflict may
Speaker 4: finally beginning to unwind. President Trump announced Tuesday that is
Speaker 4: replacing a proposed twenty percent shipping reimbursement fee on major
Speaker 4: trade and investment agreements from Gulf States. At the same time,
Speaker 4: the United States will maintain a full blockade on all
Speaker 4: vessels traveling to or from Iranian ports or carrying Iranian cargo.
Speaker 4: This presumably also includes oil shipments from carg Island to China,
Speaker 4: where ninety percent of Iran's oil is sent. The message
Speaker 4: is unmistakable. International shipping can now move freely, oil can
Speaker 4: keep flowing, and Iran alone will pay the price for
Speaker 4: its aggression. President Trump credited the United States military with
Speaker 4: reopening the straits after American forces struck Iranian coastal defenses,
Speaker 4: missile sites, drone facilities, and maritime capabilities. President Donald Trump
Speaker 4: gave Piece a chance, but it's clear that the Iatolas
Speaker 4: will not live up to any Piece agreement, including the
Speaker 4: LAU that was painstakingly negotiated under the leadership of Vice
Speaker 4: President jd. Vance. Those operations the further awake in Tehran's
Speaker 4: ability to threaten commercial shipping. Now Gulf nations are responding
Speaker 4: with what President Trump described as massive new investments in
Speaker 4: American factories, plants, equipment, and jobs. If you ask me,
Speaker 4: this is a masterclass in geopolitical maneuvering by President Trump.
Speaker 4: He's using overwhelming military strength, economic pressure, and hard bargaining
Speaker 4: to force better outcomes without trapping America in another endless
Speaker 4: ground war. The Iranian regime remains belligerent, but its position
Speaker 4: is swiftly deteriorating. Its military capabilities are being degraded, its
Speaker 4: shipping is isolated, and its regional leverage appears to be shrinking.
Speaker 4: What remains of the regime may continuationing threats, but it
Speaker 4: cannot sustain this pressure indefinitely. Conflict is far from over,
Speaker 4: but momentum has clearly shifted. President Trump is protecting global commerce,
Speaker 4: strengthening America's economy, and tightening the noose around Tehran, all
Speaker 4: the while making it clear that Iran will never obtain
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon, something he's been saying, by the way,
Speaker 4: since nineteen eighty eight, when he said it at a Portsmouth,
Speaker 4: New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce luncheon. So President Trump's position
Speaker 4: on Iran having a nuclear weapon has been consistent in
Speaker 4: anyone who says contrary, well, I was there. Meanwhile, Special
Speaker 4: Counsel Jack Smith, it turns out, actually spied on the
Speaker 4: text messages the actual content of text messages by forty
Speaker 4: four individual members of Congress. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley
Speaker 4: of Iowa revealed Tuesday that the former Special Council Jack
Speaker 4: Smith actually obtained text messages involving forty four members of
Speaker 4: Congress and senior White House officials during the closing months
Speaker 4: of President Trump's first term. The messages recollect after the
Speaker 4: National Archives responded to a sweeping subpoena covering records from
Speaker 4: October twenty twenty through January twenty twenty one. Jack Smith's
Speaker 4: team received the material on August twenty twenty three, shortly
Speaker 4: after indicting President Trump over his totally constitutional challenge to
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty election. Senator Grassley, a longtime chairman of
Speaker 4: the Juiciary Committee, says that Smith must now answer for
Speaker 4: an extraordinarily aggressive and unconstitutional, and I believe illegal fishing
Speaker 4: expedition that reached deep into communications involving elected lawmakers in
Speaker 4: what was an egregious violation of their Fourth Amendment rights.
Speaker 4: I ought to be clear, this is not just a
Speaker 4: list of who spoke to whom, but the actual texts
Speaker 4: of messages by members of Congress and senior members of
Speaker 4: the administration. These lawmakers and White House staffers committed no crimes.
Speaker 4: They were targeted because they were part of the political opposition.
Speaker 4: This is nothing short of a Soviet style operation that
Speaker 4: was run by Jack Smith. By the way, the Speech
Speaker 4: or Debate Clause specifically protects members of Congress from executive
Speaker 4: branch intrusion into legitimate legislative activity. That safeguard exists to
Speaker 4: prevent federal prosecutors from using government power to intimidate or
Speaker 4: control lawmakers. Smith blatantly ignored the law in his extraordinary
Speaker 4: zeal to make an example out of President Trump and
Speaker 4: his allies. Grastly. The Senator from Iowa has pledged to
Speaker 4: Brinsmith before the Senate Judiciary Committee and demand accountability and answers.
Speaker 4: The latest disclosure follows earlier revelations. Smith's investigations also obtained
Speaker 4: call records connected to several Republican lawmakers as well as
Speaker 4: Trump supporters. I myself was on that list. Americas now
Speaker 4: understand that a politically charged justice department crossed constitutional lines
Speaker 4: while pursuing President Trump and his allies. No prosecutors should
Speaker 4: be above scrutiny. It's time for Jack Smith to face justice.
Speaker 4: Anything short of a prosecution for treason would be letting
Speaker 4: him off easy. Meanwhile, New York's tax and spend model
Speaker 4: is driving away the very people who keep the state's
Speaker 4: finances afloat. A New Citizen's Budget Commission study finds that
Speaker 4: the Empire State's share of America's millionaires fell from twelve
Speaker 4: point seven percent in twenty ten to just eight point
Speaker 4: seven percent in twenty twenty two. This is the steepest
Speaker 4: decline of any state in the nation. The consequences, of course,
Speaker 4: are enormous. Researchers estimate that New York would have collected
Speaker 4: roughly ten point seven billion dollars more in personal income
Speaker 4: taxes in twenty twenty two alone, if it had simply
Speaker 4: maintained its earlier share of high income earners. That warning
Speaker 4: comes as socialist New York City Mayor Zori and Maemdami
Speaker 4: pushes for even higher taxes on the wealthy, despite growing
Speaker 4: evidence that punitive tax policies simply encourage residents, investors, and
Speaker 4: businesses to leave the empire. State Governor Kathy Hoko declined
Speaker 4: to raise income or corporate tax rates, but New York
Speaker 4: still imposed a pea tear tax on expensive second homes
Speaker 4: in the city. Ma'am Damie, you may remember, celebrated the
Speaker 4: move outside billionaire Ken griffiths Manhattan penthouse, turning tax policy
Speaker 4: into a political stunt. Griffin responded by threatening to pull
Speaker 4: six billion dollars from Midtown development, exactly the kind of
Speaker 4: investment that New York really can't afford to lose. The
Speaker 4: pattern is visible nationwide. The New York Stock has Change
Speaker 4: has expanded into Texas, while companies such as Tesla have
Speaker 4: moved their headquarters out of high tax California. The lesson
Speaker 4: here is simple. Wealth creators are not trapped. They have options.
Speaker 4: They're not handcuffed to one particular state or municipality. The
Speaker 4: Founding fathers designed a marrior to prevent one centralized authority
Speaker 4: from opposing top down tyranny upon the people. New York's
Speaker 4: leaders will have to learn the hard way because ma'am
Speaker 4: Domi is an ideologue who will never budge on his
Speaker 4: far left agenda. The money will continue to flate, and
Speaker 4: New Yorkers will have to suffer for years before I
Speaker 4: having a chance to end this particular nightmare. Meanwhile, Supreme
Speaker 4: Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a sobering warning to
Speaker 4: Congress this week, and that is that threats against America's
Speaker 4: highest courts are no longer just abstract political rhetoric. They're
Speaker 4: reaching the homes and families of justices themselves. Justice Barrett
Speaker 4: appeared before a House committee to support the Supreme Court's
Speaker 4: request for more than two hundred and twenty eight million
Speaker 4: dollars in funding for the next fiscal year, including an
Speaker 4: additional fourteen point six million for security. The proposal would
Speaker 4: expand the Supreme Court Police, add six protection agents for
Speaker 4: each eight justice, and cover security costs when justice is
Speaker 4: traveled outside Washington, d C. Justice Bear's testimony exposed the
Speaker 4: human cost of radical intimidation campaigns that followed the leak
Speaker 4: of the Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Barrett recalled having
Speaker 4: to explain to her young son what a bullet proof
Speaker 4: vest was and why his mother had to wear one
Speaker 4: simply for doing her constitutional duty. She also described a
Speaker 4: swatting attack on her home roughly six weeks ago. Her
Speaker 4: teenage son opened the door to find police vehicles responding
Speaker 4: to a false report of gunshots and raised voices. This
Speaker 4: is what happens when political activists demonized judges for refusing
Speaker 4: to serve as unelected lawmakers. Common sense Americans have warned
Speaker 4: for years that reckless attacks on the court would invite
Speaker 4: real world danger. Congress should approve the additional security funding
Speaker 4: without delay. In my opinion, protecting Justice Barrett and her
Speaker 4: colleagues is not a partisan issue. Is a basic defense
Speaker 4: of constitutional government, judicial independence, and the rule of law
Speaker 4: against intimidation, mob pressure, and political violence in the United States. However,
Speaker 4: Justin Barrett has some recent sketchy rulings, including ruling against
Speaker 4: President Trump's prohibition on birthright citizenship. If Kobe Barrett does
Speaker 4: not have a storm much to do is right in
Speaker 4: the midst of political pressure, she should actually consider resigning
Speaker 4: from the bench. However, I do believe the added security
Speaker 4: will help her rediscover her lost principles. At least I
Speaker 4: pray for that. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department's making America's two
Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth anniversary with new currency honoring President Trump's
Speaker 4: historic leadership. A redesigned one hundred dollars bill will carry
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's signature along that side that of Treasury Secretary
Speaker 4: Scott Bessett's, among the President's very best appointees in my view,
Speaker 4: making Donald Trump the first president to have his name
Speaker 4: printed on American paper money while he was serving. His
Speaker 4: signature will also peer across all bill denominations issued for
Speaker 4: the anniversary. Secretary Besson said the change will cost oxpayers
Speaker 4: absolutely nothing. Federal law requires US currency to include in
Speaker 4: God we Trust and prohibits prohibits of living people on
Speaker 4: paper money, but presidential signatures are permitted. Church results preparing
Speaker 4: a commemorative non circulating dollar coin featuring President Trump's portrait.
Speaker 4: Because it's a special coin rather than ordinary circulating currency,
Speaker 4: it's not restricted by the law requiring presidents to be
Speaker 4: deceased before appearing on standard presidential coins. This movie calls
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty six, when Calvin Coolidge Silent Cow, became the
Speaker 4: first sitting president portrayed on a commemorative coin during his lifetime.
Speaker 4: Bessent predicts Americans will want to save bills bearing President
Speaker 4: Trump's signature, which could also benefit the Treasury when currency
Speaker 4: remains out of circulation. These new bills, which were advocated
Speaker 4: by the Treasurer Brendan Beach, are expected to reach the
Speaker 4: public this fall. Treasury officials say the designation recognizes both
Speaker 4: the nation's semi quincentennial and Trump's role in advancing America's
Speaker 4: current economic revival. A prototype two hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 4: bill featuring President's Trump's portrait has also been prepared, although
Speaker 4: Congress would have to authorize that. I'm Roger Stone. You're
Speaker 4: listening to the stone Zone. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 4: talk about the Federal Chair of the Federal Reserve and
Speaker 4: the moves that he's making to hold down inflation. I'm
Speaker 4: Roger Stone. You're listening to stone Zone. Whatever you do,
Speaker 4: don't go away.
Speaker 1: The stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 1: podcast network.
Speaker 2: Rogerson was persecuted people.
Speaker 5: Forget He's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
Speaker 2: Now give him his zone. It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 4: Here's Rogerstone, and you're back in the Stone Zone. Joining
Speaker 4: you now from Washington, d C. President Trump's newly appointed
Speaker 4: Federal Reserve Chairman, Kevin Warsh, is delivering a welcome message
Speaker 4: to Congress, and that is that the area of tolerating
Speaker 4: question inflation must now come to an end. In his
Speaker 4: first semi annual testimony as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board,
Speaker 4: Worsh declared that central backed policymakers have quote no tolerance
Speaker 4: close quote for persistently high prices and are firmly committed
Speaker 4: to restoring price stability. This is exactly the resolve that
Speaker 4: American families need after five years of inflation eroded wages,
Speaker 4: punished savers, and drove up the cost of grosses, housing, energy,
Speaker 4: and nearly everything else. Kevin Warsh, the new Chairman of
Speaker 4: the FED, says the Fed's number one objective is getting
Speaker 4: monetary policy right, promising that the recent inflation surge will
Speaker 4: become a thing of the past. He also defended keeping
Speaker 4: interest rates between three point five and three point point
Speaker 4: seven percent, while officials evaluate continuing inflation risks. Unlike Washington
Speaker 4: politicians who downplay rising prices or blame everyone but themselves,
Speaker 4: Worsh recognizes that monetary policy plays a central role in
Speaker 4: controlling long term inflation. He also offered a cautiously optimistic
Speaker 4: view of the economy, pointing to stable employment, fewer layoffs,
Speaker 4: solid wage growth, stronger manufacture, and expanding business investment, especially
Speaker 4: when it comes to artificial intelligence and technology. But Federal
Speaker 4: Reserve Chairman Worsh is wisely refusing to declare victory too soon.
Speaker 4: Energy shocks and stubborn underlying price pressure could ignite inflation,
Speaker 4: and for that he's being cautious. The new chairman is
Speaker 4: also reviewing the Fence, communications balance sheet, economic data, productivity policies,
Speaker 4: and inflation models. Worsh deserves credit for emphasizing discipline, accountability,
Speaker 4: and sound money after years of reckless spending, easy money policies,
Speaker 4: and outright sabotage from his predecessor, Jerome Too Late Powell,
Speaker 4: who ignored the unemployment and inflation rate and refused to
Speaker 4: cut interest rates when it was merited. Worsh is delivering
Speaker 4: a Federal Reserve that is willing to protect the dollar,
Speaker 4: defend working families, and confront inflation without political fear or
Speaker 4: fashionable excuses. Now this is a welcome change. I point
Speaker 4: out that Jerome Powell, his predecessor, was a lawyer and
Speaker 4: not an economist, and that Powell cut interest rates when
Speaker 4: the unemployment and inflation rates were far less favorable than
Speaker 4: they are today in order to assist in the attempted
Speaker 4: reelection of Joe Biden. So the appointment of Warsh is
Speaker 4: a welcome respite from that. And these new policies, I
Speaker 4: think are designed to have sound money and more importantly,
Speaker 4: lower interest rates. Lower interest rates means more housing, more
Speaker 4: availability of credit, and so on. This is a key
Speaker 4: move when it comes to making America great again. I'm
Speaker 4: Roger Stone. You're listening to the Stone Zone. We're all
Speaker 4: set for President Trump's big announcement tomorrow night when he
Speaker 4: addresses the nation regarding what he says is newly found
Speaker 4: evidence of foreign interference in the twenty twenty election. I'll
Speaker 4: be watching. I hope you will too. You're listening to
Speaker 4: the Stone Zone, and we'll.
Speaker 2: Be right back.
Speaker 1: The Stone Zone Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 1: podcast Network.
Speaker 6: A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going,
Speaker 6: and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
Speaker 6: Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
Speaker 2: Roger Stone, Where's Roch Here's Roger Stone.
Speaker 4: You are now re entering the Stone zone, joining you
Speaker 4: now from what DC. Federal banking regulators are finally closing
Speaker 4: a loophole that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain loans from
Speaker 4: American financial institutions without any meaningful scrutiny of their legal status.
Speaker 4: The Office of the Controller of the Currency, the FDIC,
Speaker 4: and the National Credit Union Administration are now advising banks
Speaker 4: to consider a proof of continuing work authorization and other
Speaker 4: documentation before deciding whether a borrow can realistically repay a loan.
Speaker 4: Regulators are also warning financial institutions to watch for concentrated
Speaker 4: lending and industries, employers, and regents likely to be affected
Speaker 4: by President Donald Trump's expanded immigration enforcement. The guidance follows
Speaker 4: Trump's main executive order issued in May was entitled the
Speaker 4: Restoring Integrity to America's Financial Systems Act, which directed federal
Speaker 4: agencies to strengthen identity checks and lending standards for people
Speaker 4: living in the country illegally for years federal law failed
Speaker 4: to clearly prevent banks from serving illegal immigrants, leaving taxpayers, depositors,
Speaker 4: and financial institutions exposed to unnecessary risk while rewarding those
Speaker 4: who violated America's immigration laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Speaker 4: was also warned banks about obvious credit dangers of lending
Speaker 4: to people who lacked legal authorization. Obviously, the chances of
Speaker 4: repayment are about zilch. President Trump is suggested going further
Speaker 4: by shutting down accounts used to facilitate illegal immigration. This
Speaker 4: is basic common sense. American banks should serve lawful customers,
Speaker 4: protect depositors, and verify that borrowers have both the legal
Speaker 4: rights and the financial capability to repay their debts. The
Speaker 4: Trump administration is right to restore this accountability. Access to
Speaker 4: America's financial system is not an entitlement for those who
Speaker 4: enter or remain in the country illegally without consequences. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: a Minnesota sheriff is warning that political correctness and media
Speaker 4: silence are allowing a dangerous gang problem to grow across
Speaker 4: the state of Minnesota, specifically in the Minneapolis Saint Paul region.
Speaker 4: Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher says that roughly three hundred
Speaker 4: young people are now associated with twelve Somali gangs operating
Speaker 4: throughout the metro area and beyond. Authorities say these gangs
Speaker 4: have been connected to more than one hundred shootings and
Speaker 4: at least fourteen murders over the past two years, including
Speaker 4: violence at graduations, public gatherings, and even at the Minnesota
Speaker 4: State Fair. Investigators described the groups as young, heavily armed,
Speaker 4: and driven less by drug profits than by ego, social
Speaker 4: media attention, personal feuds, and public dispays of dominance. Sure
Speaker 4: criticized local media and political leaders for refusing to confront
Speaker 4: this issue honestly out of fear that discussing it could
Speaker 4: be labeled as you guessed it racist. That cowardice has
Speaker 4: severe consequences. Minnesota officials have been aware of organized Somali
Speaker 4: gang activity for nearly two decades. Earlier investigations documented robberies,
Speaker 4: firearms offenses, trafficking, allegations, fraud, and violence spreading between several
Speaker 4: American cities, Yet the problem was repeatedly minimized when elected
Speaker 4: leaders focused more on protecting their political image than protecting
Speaker 4: innocent residents. Under the leadership of Tampon Tim Walls, the
Speaker 4: problem with Somali thuggery has gotten even worse. Law enforcement
Speaker 4: needs to target violent offenders aggressively, regardless of race, religion,
Speaker 4: or national origin. Third World savages should not be given
Speaker 4: a pass because authorities lacked the testicular fortitude to root
Speaker 4: out their inn thigh civilization behavior. Communities must also be
Speaker 4: compelled to cooperate in identifying gang members and rejected imported
Speaker 4: clan rivalries that seem refueling this conflict. Public safety is
Speaker 4: not racism. Enforcing the law is not discrimination. Minnesota's leaders
Speaker 4: must stop making excuses, support police, prosecute violent criminals, and
Speaker 4: restore order before the rule of the jungle replaces the
Speaker 4: rule of law. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is launching a
Speaker 4: campaign to defend American sovereignty against the International Criminal Court,
Speaker 4: or ICC as it's known. In a July thirteen statement,
Speaker 4: the State Department said it is considering sanctions, visa revocations,
Speaker 4: travel bans, and diplomatic pressure on foreign governments supporting the
Speaker 4: court while relying on American aid. The goal is to
Speaker 4: stop unelected international bureaucrats from claiming power over US groups
Speaker 4: and officials. You see, America never join the International Criminal Court,
Speaker 4: yet the court still claims authority to investigate and prosecute
Speaker 4: Americans for actions taken in countries that recognize its jurisdiction.
Speaker 4: Secretary of State Marco Rubio called that an intolerable attack
Speaker 4: on American independence and sovereignty. He warned that the International
Speaker 4: Criminal Court is waging war against the United States through statutes, treaties,
Speaker 4: and so called international law rather than bullets. Rubio correctly
Speaker 4: stated the Court has evolved into a radical global tribunal
Speaker 4: staffed by unaccountable bureaucrats who believe their power has no limits.
Speaker 4: This administration is also urging other nations to withdraw from
Speaker 4: the International Criminal Court and warns that countries cannot expect
Speaker 4: American assistants while helping foreign judges target American citizens. President
Speaker 4: Trump has opposed its court for years, especially after prosecutors
Speaker 4: examined allegations evolving US personnel in Afghanistan. This is not
Speaker 4: about shielding criminals. It's about preserving the constitutional right of
Speaker 4: Americans to be judged under American law. The nation fought
Speaker 4: a revolution to escape distant rulers claiming authority over its people.
Speaker 4: The Trump administration is right to make the point that
Speaker 4: no foreign court will sit in judgment of American servicemen, officials,
Speaker 4: or our sovereignty. And after we get rid of the
Speaker 4: world of the scourge that is the International Criminent Court,
Speaker 4: we need to get out of the United Nations again
Speaker 4: while we're at it. Meanwhile, the House delivered a victory
Speaker 4: for common sense on Tuesday, voting three hundred and eight
Speaker 4: to one hundred and seventeen to end the wasteful ritual
Speaker 4: of changing America's clocks twice a year. The Sunshine Protecting
Speaker 4: An Act would make daylight saving times permanent across most
Speaker 4: of the country, keeping the current March to November schedule
Speaker 4: in place year round, unless individual states choose to opt
Speaker 4: out before the law takes effect. Republican leadership celebrated this vote.
Speaker 4: I celebrated it myself. It's just common sense. Representative Scott
Speaker 4: de Jarles of Tennessee marked the moment by playing the
Speaker 4: beatles here comes the Sun as the final tally was announced.
Speaker 4: President Trump has strongly backed this measure, calling the twice
Speaker 4: yearly clock change a ridiculous production that costs Americans time, money,
Speaker 4: and peace of mind. President Trump has pledged to work
Speaker 4: hard to get the bills side in the law, describing
Speaker 4: it as both a practical reform and a political win
Speaker 4: for common sense. Legislation now heads to the Senate, where
Speaker 4: it faces a tougher road, as Senator Tom Cotton of
Speaker 4: Arkansas will stand in the legislation's way, arguing that the
Speaker 4: status quo is somehow superior. Public frustration with clock switching
Speaker 4: has grown for decades as more have realized the pointlessness
Speaker 4: and inconvenience of daylight savings time, originally designed when we
Speaker 4: had a largely agricultural economy. States have already approved measures
Speaker 4: supporting permanent daylight saving times if Congress gives the green light.
Speaker 4: The Senate passed a similar bill in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: but then the House failed to act. This time, the
Speaker 4: House has done its job. We have to see if
Speaker 4: the Senate will act. It's now time to find out
Speaker 4: where the Senate will preserve an outdated government mandate or
Speaker 4: finally give Americans a stable, predictable clock. I'll be watching meanwhile.
Speaker 4: This is a distasteful story, but federal and state health
Speaker 4: officials are investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants may be connected
Speaker 4: to a major cyclospora outbreak, with lettuce and other solid
Speaker 4: ingredients under scrutiny. As possible sources. Michigan has reported more
Speaker 4: than twenty six hundred cases, making this the largest outbreak
Speaker 4: of the parasite in state history and one of the
Speaker 4: nation's biggest in years. Sporza is a microscopic parasite that
Speaker 4: can cause severe gastro intestral illness, which I'm not going
Speaker 4: to describe here in detail because it is well to distasteful.
Speaker 4: Michigan health officials say that evidence points towards lettuce or
Speaker 4: salad greens, although other foods have not been ruled out.
Speaker 4: Investigators have not identified a specific farm supplier or type
Speaker 4: of produce responsible. Signs recently posted some Detroit area Taco
Speaker 4: Bell location said lettuce, cilantro, onions, pica degaio, and guacamole
Speaker 4: were unavailable because what it described as a national recall. However,
Speaker 4: the Food and Drug Administration has not publicly announced such
Speaker 4: a recall or formally linked Taco Bell to the outbreak,
Speaker 4: and we have no evidence here at the Stone Zone
Speaker 4: that clearly indicates that Taco Bell is responsible. That lack
Speaker 4: of clear information raises serious questions about government transparency and
Speaker 4: food supply accountability. Americans deserve immediate, accurate answers. When thousands
Speaker 4: of people may have been exposed to contaminated food. Taco Bell,
Speaker 4: for example, serves more than forty million dollars forty million
Speaker 4: customers every week in the United States, meaning any potential
Speaker 4: connection must be investigated quickly and without bureaucratic delay. No
Speaker 4: deaths have been reported, but the source remains unknown. Health
Speaker 4: agencies must identify where the contamination began, hold negligence suppliers accountability,
Speaker 4: and tell the public exactly what the officials knew and
Speaker 4: when they knew it. Protecting American families should come before
Speaker 4: protecting corporate foodducers. If Taco Bell is guilty in perpetuating
Speaker 4: this crisis, they should be held accountable for their unsanitary practices.
Speaker 4: If they are not, or we should know.
Speaker 2: That as well.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, a coalition of twelve Democrat led states is trying
Speaker 4: to derail Paramount's eighty one billion dollar takeover of Warner
Speaker 4: Brothers Discovery, and the timing makes it clear that the
Speaker 4: lawsuit is a shameless political stunt. The merger would combine Paramount, CBS,
Speaker 4: Paramount plus Warner Brothers, HBO, Max, CNN, and film libraries
Speaker 4: under one company. State Attorney's General claimed the deal would
Speaker 4: reduce competition, raise prices, and threaten entertainment jobs. Paramount says
Speaker 4: the lawsuit, Twist's antitrust law is meant to protect dominant
Speaker 4: streaming giants like the disgustingly woke Netflix from a stronger arrival.
Speaker 4: Trump Justice departments reviewing the transaction and declined to challenge it,
Speaker 4: concluding that the combined company would increase competition and benefit
Speaker 4: both consumers and workers. Notably, every state suing is led
Speaker 4: by a Democrat. In other words, no Republican attorney general
Speaker 4: has joined this case. That matters because Paramount has moved
Speaker 4: to a more conservative direction since Sundance took control. CBS
Speaker 4: has also undergoing leadership and editorial changes, which has deeply
Speaker 4: triggered the entrenched journalistic establishment. At six minutes, where the
Speaker 4: Trump administratians as openly welcome the possibility that CNN would
Speaker 4: receive a long overdue shake up under its new ownership.
Speaker 4: Now Democrat officials, liberal unions, and Hollywood activists are suddenly
Speaker 4: demanding that courts freeze the merger. They call it anti
Speaker 4: trust enforcement. But Americans have seen this playbook before. When
Speaker 4: conservatives begin gaining influence inside a major institution, the left
Speaker 4: always calls for government overreach to stop it. The Court
Speaker 4: should examine the facts, not enforce a liberal agenda meant
Speaker 4: to dominate the airwaves. A stronger Paramount could challenge big tech,
Speaker 4: revive theatrical competition, preserve jobs, and bring ideological balance to
Speaker 4: an entertainment industry dominated for decades by the progressive left.
Speaker 4: They're losing their stranglehold on the minds of the public,
Speaker 4: and they're not happy. The rise of Paramount is a
Speaker 4: serious game changer for common sense Americans. Six years after
Speaker 4: the COVID lockdowns were in full force, the catastrophic failure
Speaker 4: of America's pandemic response is undeniable. Public health experts discarded
Speaker 4: decades of established planning, embraced flawed data from China, and
Speaker 4: ignored early warnings from epidemiologists like doctor j. Baudichara that
Speaker 4: the virus had already spread widely. The results were lockdowns,
Speaker 4: mass mandates, vaccine passports, and school closures that dragged on
Speaker 4: for years, devastating lives, destroyed the economy, and hurting children
Speaker 4: while changing the course of history. I'm Rogers Stone to

Speaker 4: joining you now from Washington on DC. I can tell
Speaker 4: you this city is a buzz regarding President Donald Trump's
Speaker 4: address to the nation tomorrow night at nine pm Eastern,
Speaker 4: where he is set online that he's going to be
Speaker 4: addressing new information regarding foreign interference in the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: presidential election. Now does this regard China or Venezuela or
Speaker 4: is it Ukraine? Frankly, no one knows. And White House
Speaker 4: aide who I spoke to today remain very tight lipped.
Speaker 4: Even my contacts in the intelligence community. They're not saying
Speaker 4: this is going to be a historic address. The mainstream
Speaker 4: media is already downplaying it as insignificant. We shall see Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: neo conservative stalwart and vehement never Trumper Bill Crystal. You
Speaker 4: remember him. He's the guy who, as Vice President of
Speaker 4: the States, insisted that Iraq was responsible for the attack
Speaker 4: on America on nine to eleven, and that Sodom Hussein
Speaker 4: had weapons of mass destruction, driving US into a war
Speaker 4: responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and tens
Speaker 4: of thousands of Americans. Now he's openly calling for the
Speaker 4: abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, the federal
Speaker 4: agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and removing dangerous illegal aliens.
Speaker 4: Abolished ICE now, Bill Crystal said on a post on
Speaker 4: x this past Monday, putting himself squarely alongside the far
Speaker 4: left activists who want America's borders weakened and immigration enforcement dismantled.
Speaker 4: Crystal also celebrated reports that the Department of Homeland Security
Speaker 4: temporarily halted certain vehicle stopped detentions following two fatal encounters
Speaker 4: involving illegal migrant drivers. Rather than supporting careful reforms while
Speaker 4: preserving enforcement, Bill Crystal demanded even greater pressure against what
Speaker 4: he called the nation's mass deportation regime. Bill Crystal once
Speaker 4: reviews as a leading Republican intellectual during the era of
Speaker 4: George W. Bush that may explain a lot about the
Speaker 4: immense failures of the Republican Party endured during that era.
Speaker 4: Crystal's interventionists. Pro globalization policies always fit comfortably with an
Speaker 4: establishment agenda of high immigration, cheap labor, and limited concern
Speaker 4: for the impact on American workers. Because of Bill Crystal's influence,
Speaker 4: millions were killed needlessly in endless wars that were waged based,
Speaker 4: as I said earlier, entirely onlines. President Donald Trump shattered
Speaker 4: the neo con consensus by promising secure borders, lower immigration,
Speaker 4: and an economy that puts American citizens first, and so
Speaker 4: far he's delivering on all counts. Bill Christill has moved
Speaker 4: closer to Democrats who opposed deportations and favor expansive migration policies.
Speaker 4: His possession is deeply dis connected with millions of working
Speaker 4: class Americans who understand the uncontrolled immigration strains housing, schools, hospitals, wages,
Speaker 4: and public safety. ICE is not the enemy. Criminal cartels,
Speaker 4: human traffickers, violent offenders, and politicians who refuse to enforce
Speaker 4: the law are the problem. America does not need to
Speaker 4: abolish ICE needs to strengthen the agency, defend its officers,
Speaker 4: enforce existing law, and make it clear that citizenship and
Speaker 4: novereigns national sovereignty still matter. And Frankly, Jetti Saint Crystal
Speaker 4: and the Neocons was the best thing the Republican Party
Speaker 4: could ever actually do. Meanwhile, OpenAIS reportedly developing a bizarre
Speaker 4: new household of device designed to act less like a
Speaker 4: tool and more like a substitute for human companionship. The
Speaker 4: screen free mobile smart speaker would connect with GPT, access
Speaker 4: a user's digital life, and learn personal habits over time.
Speaker 4: Internal descriptions reportedly call it a human like AI companion
Speaker 4: that lives in the home. It sounds creepy to me.
Speaker 4: The device may even contain mechanical parts that move independently,
Speaker 4: creating what developers describe as a physical version of CHATGBT
Speaker 4: with its own personality. That should raise some serious questions.
Speaker 4: Americans already spend too much time staring at screens, talking
Speaker 4: through apps, and replacing real communities with digital substitutes. Now,
Speaker 4: Silicon Value wants families to welcome an always listening machine
Speaker 4: into their home, one that studies emails, tracks routines, anticipates desires,
Speaker 4: attempts to imitate a human relationship. This is not merely
Speaker 4: another smart speaker. It represents another step towards outsaiering conversation, judgment, memory,
Speaker 4: and emotional connections to powerful technology companies. OpenAI reportedly recruited
Speaker 4: to former Apple engineers to develop this day new product
Speaker 4: me I say no, thanks for joining us today in
Speaker 4: the Stone Zone, I'm Roger Stone. Until tomorrow, God bless
Speaker 4: you and godspeed.
