<v Speaker 1>The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>podcast network.

3
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>This is the Stone Zone. Now get him his zone.

4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the Stone Zone.

5
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 3>A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 3>and he's smart, and he's strong.

7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 4>And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 4>and respect him. Roger Stone, Where's Roger. Here's Roger Stone.

9
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 5>You are now diving head first into the Stone Zone.

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 5>The hottest political program on the planet. Now, one of

11
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 5>the things that make me a conservative is I don't

12
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 5>like the idea of the government having an exhaustive list

13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 5>of every American in the country, whether it is real

14
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 5>ID or whether it's one of the Silicon Valley giants

15
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 5>like Pallantier. And I really don't like these flock cameras.

16
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 5>As Americans watch American cities decay under decades of Democrat governance,

17
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 5>rise in crime, open borders, failed soft on crime policies,

18
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 5>flock cameras are now being floated to us as the

19
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 5>plausible solution. These automated license plate reading cameras have proliferated

20
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 5>by the tens of thousands across the country, often installed

21
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 5>with very little public notice or debate. So what began

22
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 5>as a quiet expansion has now triggered a widespread and

23
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 5>growing public backlash. That backlash is far from irrational. It's

24
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 5>actually the natural response of free people who recognize a

25
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 5>fundamental threat to their privacy rights when they see one.

26
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Reports of vandalism against the flock cameras have multiplied in

27
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 5>recent months. In Rio Rancho, New Mexico, for example, a

28
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 5>man was charged after damaging multiple units and leaving homemade

29
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 5>flags as a calling card. Afterwards. In Houston, Texas, cameras

30
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 5>were cut down and spray painted, one with an American

31
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 5>flag stuck in it. Dallas police reported a surge of

32
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 5>twenty five intentional damaged incidents since March. In Grand Junction, Colorado,

33
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 5>a man shot three cameras with a rifle. Similar attacks

34
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 5>have occurred in Oakland, Oregon, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and elsewhere.

35
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 5>Polls being sawed through, solar panels, destroyed, cameras, paint bombed,

36
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 5>or simply ripped out. Now, these acts are illegal, in

37
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 5>no way do we excuse them or do we advocate them.

38
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 5>Destroying property cells nothing and should result in prosecution. However,

39
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 5>free people will only be pushed so far. Technology is

40
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 5>transforming society at breakneck speed, generating disruption profound angst among

41
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 5>the American people. As a result, when unmistakable symbols of

42
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 5>a rising surveillance squirt appear on every major road that

43
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 5>can tract your every movement, the pressure will build very quickly.

44
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 5>Left unchecked, that pressure risks escalating into something violent or,

45
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 5>god forbid, even deadly. Flock cameras have become a prolific

46
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 5>everyday reminder of the Orwellian agenda advancing in plain sight.

47
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 5>We used to call it Father common sense. Americans really

48
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 5>must reject the excuses offered by the surveillance state and

49
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 5>its corporate stooges. Consider the words of Flock Safety CEO

50
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Garrett Langley. He's referred to transparency activists.

51
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 6>He simply mapped.

52
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 5>The locations of these publicly visible cameras as terroristic organizations.

53
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 5>He later issued a tempered apology only after widespread backlash.

54
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 5>By the way, Langley has dismissed concerns about how the

55
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 5>data is used for immigration enforcement by saying the company

56
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 5>has no opinion and authorities to enforce the law no

57
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 5>matter what Flock does. He has framed opposition as people

58
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 5>merely angry at the federal administration or seeking to normalize lawlessness.

59
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 5>These are not the statements of a man who cares

60
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 5>one iota about liberties or are founding era revolutionaries fought for,

61
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 5>killed and died for. This is a technocrat who wants

62
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 5>to line his pockets, even if it means destroying the

63
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 5>US Constitution and replacing it with a China like police

64
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 5>state you see in actuality. Flop cameras are not a

65
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 5>force multiplier for traditional law enforcement. They're actually a quiet

66
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 5>technological substitute for it. They represent a sneaky end run

67
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 5>amound the demand to fund and support community police, so

68
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 5>setting putting more police officers on the street, more detectives

69
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 5>on cases, and more resources into the necessary human work

70
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 5>of policing. The system offers a dystopian surveillance grid that

71
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 5>watches vehicle movements at scale. The authority shifts from local

72
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 5>beat cops who understand and know their neighborhoods, to a

73
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 5>network database controlled by some distant bureaucrat, an administrator, and

74
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 5>private vendors. This is not strengthening law enforcement. It's actually

75
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 5>defunding it by other means, replacing judgment, presence, and accountability

76
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 5>with automated observation. Yes, we need more resources flowing into

77
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 5>actual police work, not less block cameras poll resources in

78
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 5>the opposite direction. Or well, the in tyranny is being

79
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 5>substituted for the local officer who walks abeat, builds relationships

80
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 5>and deters crimes through their presence and their knowledge. That

81
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 5>substitution to me is terrified and it makes us less safe.

82
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 5>In the long run, a government without restraints is more

83
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 5>dangerous than any street criminal. The founding fathers understood this

84
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 5>with absolute clarity. They decide the system of limited powers

85
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 5>and enumerated rights precisely because they had seen what unchecked

86
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 5>authority does. They did not trust benevolent intentions. They trusted structure, accountability,

87
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 5>and the people's retained rights. Yes, a dense network of

88
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 5>cameras can help self some crimes after the fact by

89
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 5>placing a particular vehicle at a particular location that is

90
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 5>really not in dispute here, But the cost is catastrophic.

91
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 5>There is no longer any meaningful presumption of privacy on

92
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 5>the roads of America. Because of these cameras are everywhere,

93
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 5>The expectations become that every movement will be logged. This

94
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 5>is the functional end to the Fourth Amendment's protection against

95
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 5>unreasonable searches. Continuous tracking of the public's movement changes human behavior.

96
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 5>People self center, they alter roots, they avoid certain destinations,

97
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 5>and they live under the knowledge that their patterns are

98
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 5>being recorded and can be query. Become lab rats in

99
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 5>an experiment run by technocrat elites who assist it's all

100
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 5>for our own good. This is Unamerican and it's abominable.

101
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Consider what these systems would enable during the next COVID

102
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 5>style emergency. But the flick of a switch, vehicle tracking

103
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 5>could enforce quarantine zones could monitor non essential travel and

104
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 5>identify those who failed to comply with whatever mandate the

105
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 5>moment demanded. Personal liberty would immediately become a lost vestige

106
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 5>of the past. The same infrastructure lends itself to other

107
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 5>nightmare scenarios. It should alarm every American. Imagine systematic tracking

108
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 5>of citizens trying to gun stores, ranges, or Second Amendment events,

109
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 5>feeding databases that later justify red flag actions or other

110
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 5>selective enforcement.

111
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 6>Image monitoring attendance at.

112
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 5>Political rallies, church services, school board meetings, or protests against

113
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 5>progressive policies, with patterns used to add pressure dissenters. These

114
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 5>actions have already happened under previous Democrat administrations and could

115
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 5>be turbocharged under flock camera surveillance, and it could easily

116
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 5>be taken to another even scarier level. Imagine the network

117
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 5>integrated with digital identification or future central bank digital currency,

118
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 5>so that movement itself becomes a conditional privilege. Imagine climate

119
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 5>or equity, luck to restrict travel by vehicle type, destination,

120
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 5>or political reliability. Each of these is a natural extension

121
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 5>or a system that already maps the daily movements of

122
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 5>millions without individualized suspicion. It's the next step on the

123
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 5>road to the inescapable reality of Big Brother. We cannot

124
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 5>build a panoptic simply because we're frightened. The pan option,

125
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 5>conceived by Jeremy Bentham, is a prison design which inmates

126
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 5>never know whether they're being watched or what, therefore police themselves.

127
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Was later diagnosed by historian Michael Foucault as the model

128
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 5>of modern disciplinary societies. It's a hellish nature lies in

129
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 5>the permanent possibility of observation at all times. Freedom does

130
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 5>not survive under the knowledge that every trip is potentially logged, queried,

131
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 5>or retained for later use by whatever authority. Happens to

132
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 5>hold the keys. Fear of crime is real and it's legitimate.

133
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 5>Capitulation to total surveillance is not the answer. Give the police

134
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 5>the tools I say, staffing, training, political backing they need

135
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 5>to be effective against actual criminals. Cracked down hard on

136
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 5>violent offenders, repeat predators, illegal aliens in the chaos that

137
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 5>has been tolerated for way too long. Do it the

138
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 5>way free societies have done it for generations, through officers, investigations, prosecutions, trials,

139
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 5>and punishment without destroying the core constitutional rights that make

140
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 5>America distinct. That model once worked. Americans were safer with

141
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 5>and the government remained limited and rights remained primary. We

142
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 5>can return to that past glory, but we cannot do

143
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 5>so accepting false dichotomies that force a choice between safety

144
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 5>and liberty. Those who demand we surrender privacy in exchanged

145
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 5>for the promise of security are selling us a devious lie.

146
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 5>It's time for localities and states to ban these cameras

147
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.639
<v Speaker 5>media before society becomes a power game. Meanwhile, President Donald

148
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Trump has delivered a decisive rebuke this very day to

149
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 5>Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican Conference, insisting

150
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.519
<v Speaker 5>that the Upper Chamber remain in session until the Save

151
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 5>America Act is passed, or better yet, that the filibusters terminated,

152
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 5>so the Republicans can finally deliver our election integrity for

153
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 5>the American people in a forceful, true social post, Trump declared,

154
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 5>John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to

155
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 5>leave town until it passes the Save America Act, or

156
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 5>far better yet, terminates the filibuster. That's where Republicans can

157
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 5>quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of. President Trump warned

158
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 5>the Democrats will scrap the rule themselves the moment they

159
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 5>regain power, adding that stupidity always brings losing and death.

160
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 5>For those who don't understand the filibuster, it is a

161
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 5>Senate rule, a custom, a tradition under which any measure

162
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 5>requires sixty votes before it can move to the Senate

163
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 5>floor for a vote. So simply having fifty votes, which

164
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 5>I believe the Save America Act as today, plus the

165
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.320
<v Speaker 5>vote of the vote breaking Vice President JD. Vance is

166
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 5>not enough to pass the bill. We need to do

167
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 5>away with the filibuster because the Democrats, as the President says,

168
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 5>surely will when they come and if they come back

169
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 5>to power. President Trump is demanding no excuses, no retreat,

170
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 5>and Pure America first resolved from all Republican senators after

171
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 5>urging grassroots supporters last week to pressure through and call

172
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 5>Friday for a ninety five billion dollar party line spending

173
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 5>blueprint that includes critical election funding before the election. August sixth,

174
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 5>recess presidents refusing to let Washington's status coal machinery grind

175
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 5>progress to a halt. Senators Mike Lee of Utah and

176
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 5>Rick Scott of Florida have shown backbone by backing a

177
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 5>stay in town approach. Yet the broader Senate Republican conference,

178
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 5>full of rhinos more attracted to institutional comfort than results,

179
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 5>lacks the votes and the will. There is no appetite

180
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 5>to end the filibuster. Instead of fighting, leadership appears content

181
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 5>to back up and leave town while elections remain unsecured

182
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 5>heading into this crucial mid term cycle. President Trump's pressure

183
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 5>campaign is the leadership the country needs. Election integrity cannot wait.

184
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 5>The Save America Act represents a major step to secure

185
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 5>ballots nationwide and restore trust in our elections. It's really

186
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 5>quite simple and it's not at all offensive. All they

187
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 5>are saying is that one should be required to be

188
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 5>a US citizen and to have photographic proof of it

189
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 5>in order to vote. Some polls show that as many

190
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 5>as eighty seven percent of Americans support this simple idea.

191
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 5>By confronting the Senate's lethargy and weakness head on, the

192
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 5>President's doing what weak need Republicans will not, putting the

193
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 5>nation first and refusing to accept another cycle of empty

194
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 5>promises and procedural surrender from the rhinos. We have been

195
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 5>talking about fixing the election machinery in this country since

196
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty, but we.

197
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 6>Have done nothing about it.

198
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 5>Now, the weak need, lily livered white wines swelling country

199
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 5>club Republicans are hot to get out of town for

200
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 5>vacation before enacting the simple Save America Act.

201
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 6>President Trump is right. Now is the time.

202
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Call your US senator or congressman now and tell them

203
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 5>no leaving for vacation till they pass the Save America Act.

217
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back into the Stone Zone. It looks to me

218
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.200
<v Speaker 5>like left wing activists are trying to find the new

219
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 5>George Floud right there in Madison, Wisconsin. Hundreds of anti

220
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 5>police activists marched through Madison, Wisconsin after officials fatally shot

221
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 5>thirty eight year old Corey Ruez during a confrontation under

222
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.200
<v Speaker 5>state investigation, but the facts merging from police and DEO

223
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 5>accounts complicate the activists execution narrative. Police Chief John Patterson

224
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 5>said officers responding to report some property crime and bicycle

225
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 5>theft when Ruez was taken to the ground and pulled

226
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 5>a knife. Police deployed a taser, but it failed to stop,

227
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 5>and authority said that Ruez wounded one officer with a

228
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 5>knife and injured another before an officer fired three shots.

229
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 5>Video reviewed by ABC News reportedly showed a knife and

230
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.759
<v Speaker 5>ru as his right hand, and footage shared officers recovering

231
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 5>a knife afterwards. Despite these circumstances, Nearly five hundred demonstrators

232
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 5>filled the streets, chanting anti police slogans, demanding police defunding,

233
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:45.879
<v Speaker 5>and confronting outdoor diners. One activist disrupted a police news conference,

234
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 5>seized the microphone, and compared the shooting to what happened

235
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 5>to fentanyl addict George Floyd in Minneapolis back in twenty

236
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 5>twenty that, as you recall, Spiked sparked nationwide riots. Who

237
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 5>has his family called the shooting an execution, argue that

238
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 5>his criminal history did not define him really, perhaps because

239
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 5>they're looking for their next payday. Ruez has roughly forty convictions,

240
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 5>including violent offenses, a prior conviction for battery against a

241
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:18.600
<v Speaker 5>law enforcement officer, and a supervised release violation. The Wisconsin

242
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.679
<v Speaker 5>Department of Criminal Investigation will determine whether the shooting was lawful.

243
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 5>They ultimately should away from political pressure. Left wing activists

244
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 5>could always push and rush to condemn a police before

245
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 5>evidence is complete, while minimizing the split second danger that

246
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 5>our police officers face as part of their war on civilization.

247
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 5>We can never back down against the leftist threat, otherwise

248
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 5>it will be like twenty twenty all over again. I say,

249
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 5>protect the rule of law that must always take precedence

250
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 5>over the cries of the soulless woke mob. Meanwhile, doctor

251
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 5>Anthony Fauci's diaries exposed him to be a psychopath. In

252
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 5>one particular notation, he speaks about Michael Kaputo, the Undersecretary

253
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 5>of HHS, sent over from Rump White House to try

254
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.279
<v Speaker 5>to get some handle on doctor Fauci and his self aggrandizement.

255
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 5>It's very interesting. In his diary entry, Fauci specifically says,

256
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 5>you know this Caputo, he's a con man. If a

257
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.960
<v Speaker 5>guy would just stop tweeting about Roger Stone and is

258
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 5>paying more attention to my media appearances, we might be

259
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 5>better off well. In my view, doctor Fauci is one

260
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 5>of the great psychopaths of all time, and he could

261
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.240
<v Speaker 5>be the greatest mass murder in world history. I'm Roger Stone.

262
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 5>You're listening to the Stone Zone. I don't mind taking

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.920

00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's Roger Stone.

273
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back into the Stone zone, as I said. Senator

274
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.000
<v Speaker 5>Rand Paul has released excerpts from doctor Anthony Fauci's personal diaries,

275
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.720
<v Speaker 5>and the picture they paint is well, deeply troubling. Across

276
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 5>more than eleven hundred pages, the former federal COVID advisor

277
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 5>repeatedly tracked his media appearances, his glowing media profiles, and

278
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:46.599
<v Speaker 5>his rising celebrity while Americans are being told to mask isolate,

279
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 5>cancel holidays, closed businesses, and accept sweeping government restrictions on

280
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 5>their private lives. And one May twenty twenty entry, Fauci

281
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.519
<v Speaker 5>describes his fame as explosive and wrote that he become

282
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 5>the most recognizable person in the world. He also worried

283
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 5>that the White House believed he was becoming a bigger

284
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 5>star than President Trump. That self focused stands in sharp

285
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.559
<v Speaker 5>contrast to the enormous human cost of the COVID lockdown

286
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 5>policy that he pushed, which included livelihoods, closed schools, family separation,

287
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 5>and the erosion of our basic freedoms. Daries also showed

288
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 5>Fauci warning against Thanksgiving travel while recounting a public walk

289
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 5>where he was mobbed by admirers seeking photographs. Meanwhile, early

290
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 5>entries repeatedly referenced Wuhan, China and the efforts to challenge

291
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 5>the lab leak theory, showing that Fauchi initiated the cover

292
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 5>up from the very outset. Just to remember, doctor Fauci

293
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 5>denied under oath before the United States Senate under questioning

294
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.680
<v Speaker 5>from Senator Ryan Paul that the COVID nineteen vaccination had

295
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 5>been weaponized or given gain a function status in a Wuhan,

296
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.759
<v Speaker 5>China lab. That was a law, a crime lying under

297
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 5>oath to Congress. I was charged lying under oath to Congress,

298
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 5>but no misstatement I made to Congress was material. In

299
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 5>other words, there was no underlying crime to cover up.

300
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:16.839
<v Speaker 5>Not the case in the situation with doctor Fauci. Fauci

301
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.119
<v Speaker 5>now is a scheduled to testify before the Senate this

302
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 5>week again where Senator Paul's is bett to depress him

303
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 5>on the pandemic response once again go through the gain

304
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 5>of function research and the credibility of his past statements.

305
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.440
<v Speaker 6>It's time.

306
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.240
<v Speaker 5>I think that the American people deserve straight answers. The

307
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 5>COVID era cannot be buried under media praise and bureaucratic excuses.

308
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 5>Accountability is long overdue, and the American man play as

309
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 5>I like to call him, has skirted it for too long.

310
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 6>Fauci must be brought before the court of law. Of course,

311
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 6>she will.

312
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Argue that he has a pardon, a preemptive pardon, in

313
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 5>which case the Justice Department can then argue that his

314
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 5>pardons executed with an autopen.

315
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.720
<v Speaker 6>That would put the.

316
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.279
<v Speaker 5>Authority and the legitimacy of the autopen in front of

317
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 5>an American court.

318
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 6>Something I would like to see.

319
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 5>This is what he did during the cod pandemic. It

320
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 5>is inexcusable. Let us hope that the Justice part will

321
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 5>ultimately charge with him his lies before the Senate, if

322
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 5>not crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, a new independent review has

323
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 5>supposed how badly Bill Gates understand the extent of his

324
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 5>dealing with the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. One of the

325
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 5>things I do find humorous is people online x sometimes

326
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 5>on other websites talk about Roger Stone being seen on

327
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Epstein's island, essentially being accused specifically of assafting a child.

328
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 5>We knew it was in because we saw as Nixon tattoo.

329
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 5>That is defamatory, it's a lie. In fact, I'm the

330
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 5>first author in the country fully exposed Jeffrey Epstein back

331
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.440
<v Speaker 5>in twenty fifteen in my book The Clinton's Or on Women.

332
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 5>But whenever you see this claim of Roger Stone being

333
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.599
<v Speaker 5>seen on Epstein's island, you never see a name associated

334
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 5>with it. That's because anybody who says that will get

335
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 5>slapped with a defamation suit faster than you can.

336
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 6>Blink an eye.

337
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 5>Just for those of you who may be thinking about

338
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.279
<v Speaker 5>it in any event, for years, Bill Gates portrayed his

339
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 5>association with Epstein as limited, regrettable, and barely a relationship

340
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 5>with The Gates Foundation's Wilmer Haile review found roughly thirty

341
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 5>meetings between Epstein and Foundation leaders, including Gates, from twenty

342
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 5>eleven through twenty fourteen. Those contacts continued even though employees

343
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 5>repeatedly warned senior leadership about Epstein's two thousand and eight

344
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 5>sex crime conviction and the obvious reputational danger. Meetings occurred

345
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:58.480
<v Speaker 5>at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and on the foundation's campus. Gates

346
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.119
<v Speaker 5>already knew about Epstein's criminal history, yet discussions continued over

347
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 5>proposed philanthropic projects that ultimately produced no funding, no meetingul

348
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 5>benefit to the public. The review found no evidence that

349
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 5>the foundation paid Epstein, participated in illegal conduct, or knew

350
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.680
<v Speaker 5>about his trafficking operation. That's their story and they're sticking

351
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:23.240
<v Speaker 5>to it. Gates misleading public minimization of the relationship shows

352
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 5>the connection is at a minimum bizarre. Bill Gates previously

353
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 5>claimed there was no relationship of any kind and called

354
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 5>the association a mistake. Well, thirty meetings to me, that

355
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 5>indicates there was a relationship. Thirty meetings after repeating internal

356
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.519
<v Speaker 5>warnings are not easily dismissed as a few unfortunate or

357
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 5>mistaken encounters. The review also had a major limitation, as

358
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 5>investigators did not examine Gates' personal emails or communications from

359
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 5>his private office. That means many important questions still remain unanswered.

360
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 5>Gates letter testified before Congress, calling the associate siation a

361
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.640
<v Speaker 5>grave error in judgment, but accountability requires more than carefully

362
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 5>lawyered regret. The fact show an elite billionaire ignored warnings

363
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 5>continued engaging with a convicted predator, and then spent years

364
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 5>downplaying how extensive those communications really were. It's now clear

365
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.680
<v Speaker 5>that Gays is another co collaborator of Epstein's and should

366
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 5>also be brought up on charges. In my view, A

367
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 5>federal appeals court has handed Democrat led states a temporary

368
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 5>victory over President Trump's election integrity agenda, blocking key safeguards

369
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 5>just months before the midterm election.

370
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 6>Today, two to.

371
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 5>One decision, the First US Court Circuit Court of Appeals

372
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 5>refused to pause a lower court in junction preventing the

373
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 5>administration from enforcing major portions of President Trump's executive Order

374
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.559
<v Speaker 5>in twenty three states and the District of Columbia through

375
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.839
<v Speaker 5>November three. The order directs federal agencies to help states

376
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 5>verify citizenship Titan standards for mail in ballots and investigate

377
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 5>officials who send federal ballots to ineligible recipients. These are

378
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 5>common sense protections designed to restore public confidence and elections

379
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:16.599
<v Speaker 5>that are too often operate with weak safeguards, inconsistent rules,

380
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 5>and little accountability. Democrat officials, of course, claim the President

381
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 5>is intruding on state authority, but the practical result of

382
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:29.839
<v Speaker 5>their lawsuit is clear basic elections security measures remain frozen

383
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 5>while the clock runs down toward election day.

384
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 6>The Justice Department.

385
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 5>Is now expected to seek emergency relief from the US

386
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 5>Supreme Court. That makes the stakes here unmistakable.

387
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:42.759
<v Speaker 6>The Justices must do the right thing.

388
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 5>They must recognize that integrity is not partisan. Citizens requires

389
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 5>to vote are not extreme and secure male ballot procedures are.

390
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 6>Not voter suppression.

391
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.920
<v Speaker 5>The requirement that one have a photo idea is not

392
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 5>in any way racist. You need a photo idea in

393
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 5>order to order a to buy a pack of beer,

394
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 5>six pack of beer, order a pack of cigarettes, get

395
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 5>out an airplane. Why not a photo id to vote?

396
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Just common sense. Americans deserve elections they can trust, and

397
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.440
<v Speaker 5>a president. Our president has a duty to protect federal

398
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 5>interests when states fail to act. Delay now threatens public

399
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 5>confidence and electional legitimacy nationwide. The Supreme Court should move

400
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 5>quickly cut through the procedural gainsmanship and rule for the

401
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.319
<v Speaker 5>Trump administration before another election is conducted under rules that

402
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 5>invite abuse from organized Democrat fraudsters. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister

403
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 5>Benjamin Nett and Yahoo plans to travel to New York

404
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 5>City this September for the United Nations General Assembly, despite

405
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 5>months of political controversy about whether local officials can or

406
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 5>should seek his arrest under an international criminal court warrant.

407
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 6>This is outrageous.

408
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.559
<v Speaker 5>First of all, the United States of America does not

409
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 5>recognize the International Criminal Court in the Hague. We are

410
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 5>not governed by some bureaucratic judges in another country.

411
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 6>The trip comes after New.

412
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 5>York City Mayor Zoraim Mamdami acknowledged the city lacks the

413
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 5>legal authority to arrest a visiting foreign head of state,

414
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:19.880
<v Speaker 5>reversing his earlier campaign promises that he would be the

415
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 5>man who arrested net In Yahoo if he came to

416
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 5>New York City. Net Yahoo's decision to proceed the visit

417
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 5>is a demonstration of resolved in the face of political

418
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 5>pressure and international criticism. The Israeli leader has dismissed the

419
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 5>allegations against him and made clear that he intends to

420
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 5>appear at the annual gathering of world leaders despite these

421
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:43.519
<v Speaker 5>calls for his arrest. The planned visit also comes amid

422
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.160
<v Speaker 5>heightened concern about growing anti Semitism in New York City

423
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.599
<v Speaker 5>and across the United States. Jewish organizations, law enforcement officials,

424
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 5>and public leaders have reported increased anti Semitic incidents in

425
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 5>recent months and years, with recent events in New York

426
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 5>having intensified debate over the safety of Jewish communities and

427
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 5>the impact of heated rhetoric surrounding Israel. Mayor Ma'am Domi

428
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 5>himself fanned the flames of anti Semitic hatred to win

429
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 5>over the growing radical left base of Democrats to become

430
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:15.839
<v Speaker 5>elected mayor, but then he capitulated became time to live

431
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 5>up to his rhetoric. Net Yaho's visits represents more than

432
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 5>a diplomatic appearance. This is an act of political courage

433
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 5>and a refusal to be intimidated by critics, underscoring Israel's

434
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 5>determination to engage with the international community while standing firm

435
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 5>against efforts to isolate the Jewish state. Against the backdrop

436
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 5>of rising anti Semitism nationwide, net Yaho's willingness to appear

437
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 5>sends a message the Jewish leaders and the state of

438
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Israel will not be deterred by threats, intimidation, or political pressure.

439
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 5>In other words, the terrorists and the sympathizers will not win,

440
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 5>and the atrocities of the past will not reoccur on

441
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:00.519
<v Speaker 5>our shores. Never again. Meanwhile, a Minnesota jury has convicted

442
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Shiloh Hendrix of disorderly conduct after a viral playground confrontation

443
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.119
<v Speaker 5>which she used of her and disgusting racial slur. Now

444
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:13.680
<v Speaker 5>her words were ugly and indefensible and beneath stands of

445
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:17.720
<v Speaker 5>decency most certainly will not be repeated on this radio program.

446
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 5>But offensive speech does not automatically lose First Amendment protection.

447
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.200
<v Speaker 5>Hendrix's attorney asked the court to instruct jurors his speech

448
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 5>alone can be punished only if it meets the narrow

449
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 5>constitutional definition of fighting words that means a personally abusive

450
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 5>language inherently likely to travel and trigger an immediate violent response.

451
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 5>Judge CHRISTA. Daley rejected that proposed language, as the debt

452
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.599
<v Speaker 5>was being stacked against Hendrix in her trial after woke

453
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 5>leftist attempted to destroy Hendrick's life. In the aftermathem of

454
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.640
<v Speaker 5>her comments, she was able to actually raise hundreds of

455
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 5>thousands of dollars from people who believe she deserved a

456
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 5>fair trial despite her abhorrent speech. Judge Daily orchestrated a

457
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 5>kangaroo court proceeding against Hendricks to ensure that that did

458
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 5>not happen. Judge Daily's eleven page instructions never mentioned the

459
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 5>First Amendment, yet directed jurors to examine their implicit bias

460
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:17.400
<v Speaker 5>and consider whether the slur could provoke violence. That is

461
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 5>essentially instruct the juris to disregard that regard the rule

462
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 5>of law.

463
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.720
<v Speaker 6>And institute the rule of woke.

464
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 5>Courts is supposed to apply constitutional standards, not ideological social theories.

465
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 5>It's the principle here that is important. As abhorrent as

466
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 5>some of the words may have been, the man filming

467
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 5>Hendrix repeatedly urged her to say the offensive verb where

468
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 5>he remained she did not respond violently. Hendrix also alleged

469
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.119
<v Speaker 5>that he followed her from the playground towards her car.

470
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 5>None of that excuse is what she said, by the way.

471
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:57.119
<v Speaker 5>It does, however, matter when deciding whether her speech crossed

472
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:01.960
<v Speaker 5>the demanding legal threshold of criminal puns. That's certainly a

473
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 5>very high bar. The jury acquitted Hendrix of a disorderly

474
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:09.319
<v Speaker 5>conduct allegation involving a child, but convicted her over the

475
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:13.880
<v Speaker 5>confrontation with a cameraman. Her cameraman. Her attorney called the

476
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 5>proceedings bizarre, and he felt he was fighting a prosecutor

477
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 5>and a judge, he has vowed to appeal. We should

478
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.079
<v Speaker 5>certainly not be rooting for her appeal to be successful.

479
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:27.279
<v Speaker 5>Apart me, we should certainly be rooting for he appeal

480
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.480
<v Speaker 5>to be successful, or this case should be used as

481
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.599
<v Speaker 5>a president expanded to violate First Amendment rights in more cases.

482
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:40.359
<v Speaker 1>The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple podcast.

483
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Networks Welcome Back into the Stone Zone. A federal judge

484
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 5>has delivered a major victory for American citizens and Illinois taxpayer,

485
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.480
<v Speaker 5>striking down state laws that gave illegal immigrants access to

486
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 5>in state tuition and taxpayer funded financial aid. The ruling

487
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.160
<v Speaker 5>came after the federal government, with Illinois and Governor J. B. Pritzker,

488
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 5>argued that the state was unlawfully giving benefits to people

489
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 5>in the country illegally while denying those same advantages to

490
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:13.359
<v Speaker 5>many American citizens from other states. The court rejected Illinois's

491
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 5>attempt to dismiss the case and declared several policies unconstitutional

492
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 5>and invalid, including in state tuition rules, the Rise Act,

493
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 5>and the Illinois Dream Act. The Rise Act, signed by J. B.

494
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:30.640
<v Speaker 5>Pritsker himself in twenty nineteen, allowed certain illegal immigrants to

495
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.640
<v Speaker 5>qualify financial assistance if they attended Illinois schools and promised

496
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:39.920
<v Speaker 5>to seek legal status when eligible in the future. But

497
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:44.640
<v Speaker 5>Judge David Dugan made the principle clear. American citizens cannot

498
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 5>be treated worse than illegal immigrants. US attorney Steve Weinhoft

499
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 5>said that Illinois had attempted to reward illegal immigration at

500
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 5>taxpayer's expense and place foreign nationals ahead of Americans. This ruling,

501
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.319
<v Speaker 5>he said, simply versus the federal law that passed by

502
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.039
<v Speaker 5>the Congress. Republic Congressman Mary Miller, good friend of mine,

503
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 5>raised the decision as a victory for students and families

504
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 5>who watched Illinois leaders prioritize illegal immigrants over citizens. So

505
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 5>the message here is straightforward. As public benefits funded by

506
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.880
<v Speaker 5>American taxpayers to serve American citizens, First states do not

507
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.839
<v Speaker 5>have the right to undermine federal immigration law or create

508
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.119
<v Speaker 5>special advantages for those who entered or remained in the

509
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.680
<v Speaker 5>country illegally. Blue states are not permitted to subvert the

510
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:36.440
<v Speaker 5>rule of law in favor of illegal aliens. This ruling

511
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 5>restores fairness, respect for the US Constitution, and puts taxpayers

512
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:47.079
<v Speaker 5>and American students back where they belong. Prioritized first. Meanwhile,

513
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Cracker Barrel's leadership shake up is another textbook example of

514
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:56.960
<v Speaker 5>go broke after a costly rebranding effort alienated local customers

515
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 5>and failed to reverse the restaurant chains finding struggles. CEO

516
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 5>Julie Messino will step down effect of August tenth and

517
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:11.760
<v Speaker 5>be replaced by veteran Republican Barbary veteran restaurant executive David Denno.

518
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Her departure follows months of declining sales, weaker profits, and

519
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.800
<v Speaker 5>continued efforts to repair the damage from a widely criticized

520
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 5>modernization campaign. Under Messino, Cracker Barrel launched there seven hundred

521
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 5>million dollars overhaul intended to refascist restaurants menus in public image.

522
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.280
<v Speaker 5>This was perhaps the worst rebranding in commercial American history,

523
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 5>even making bud Light's transgender partnership pale by comparison and

524
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:45.159
<v Speaker 5>immediately made headline news due to its complete and utter

525
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 5>tone deafness. The company actually removed the old timer figure

526
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.400
<v Speaker 5>from its logo, decluttering dining rooms and altered the traditional

527
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 5>country store atmosphere that had defined this brand for generations.

528
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Customers responded with a a swift backlash, using the company

529
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.119
<v Speaker 5>of abandoning its identity in pursuit of a more fashionable

530
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:11.239
<v Speaker 5>corporate image. Cracker Barrel reversed parts of the rebrand within days,

531
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 5>acknowledging that the effort had completely missed its mark, but

532
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.239
<v Speaker 5>the retreat did not immediately restore customer confidence. Quarterly revenue

533
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:23.159
<v Speaker 5>and profits later declined. The company sold restaurant properties to

534
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.239
<v Speaker 5>reduce debt, and then it unloaded its Maple Street Biscuit

535
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 5>company business while closing sixteen of its locations. Cracker Barrel

536
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:36.480
<v Speaker 5>shares also remained lower than they were before this rebranding controversy.

537
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:40.079
<v Speaker 5>This episode offers a clear warning to companies tempted to

538
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.239
<v Speaker 5>discard tradition in search of woke plaudits and left wing

539
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:49.880
<v Speaker 5>cultural approval. Cracker Barrel built its reputation on comfort food, nostalgia,

540
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 5>love of country, and a proud display of authentic Americana.

541
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:57.559
<v Speaker 5>By distancing itself from those qualities, management appears to forget

542
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.559
<v Speaker 5>the customers who made the brand successful to begin with.

543
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.519
<v Speaker 5>Messino's unceremonious acts suggests that market delivered it's verdict. The

544
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.440
<v Speaker 5>market is always right. Thanks for joining us today in
