Speaker 1: The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
Speaker 1: podcast network.
Speaker 2: This is the Stone Zone. Now get him his zone.
Speaker 2: It's the Stone Zone.
Speaker 3: A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going
Speaker 3: and he's smart, and he's strong.
Speaker 4: And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him
Speaker 4: and respect him. Roger Stone, Where's Roger. Here's Roger Stone.
Speaker 5: You are now diving head first into the Stone Zone.
Speaker 5: The hottest political program on the planet. Now, one of
Speaker 5: the things that make me a conservative is I don't
Speaker 5: like the idea of the government having an exhaustive list
Speaker 5: of every American in the country, whether it is real
Speaker 5: ID or whether it's one of the Silicon Valley giants
Speaker 5: like Pallantier. And I really don't like these flock cameras.
Speaker 5: As Americans watch American cities decay under decades of Democrat governance,
Speaker 5: rise in crime, open borders, failed soft on crime policies,
Speaker 5: flock cameras are now being floated to us as the
Speaker 5: plausible solution. These automated license plate reading cameras have proliferated
Speaker 5: by the tens of thousands across the country, often installed
Speaker 5: with very little public notice or debate. So what began
Speaker 5: as a quiet expansion has now triggered a widespread and
Speaker 5: growing public backlash. That backlash is far from irrational. It's
Speaker 5: actually the natural response of free people who recognize a
Speaker 5: fundamental threat to their privacy rights when they see one.
Speaker 5: Reports of vandalism against the flock cameras have multiplied in
Speaker 5: recent months. In Rio Rancho, New Mexico, for example, a
Speaker 5: man was charged after damaging multiple units and leaving homemade
Speaker 5: flags as a calling card. Afterwards. In Houston, Texas, cameras
Speaker 5: were cut down and spray painted, one with an American
Speaker 5: flag stuck in it. Dallas police reported a surge of
Speaker 5: twenty five intentional damaged incidents since March. In Grand Junction, Colorado,
Speaker 5: a man shot three cameras with a rifle. Similar attacks
Speaker 5: have occurred in Oakland, Oregon, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and elsewhere.
Speaker 5: Polls being sawed through, solar panels, destroyed, cameras, paint bombed,
Speaker 5: or simply ripped out. Now, these acts are illegal, in
Speaker 5: no way do we excuse them or do we advocate them.
Speaker 5: Destroying property cells nothing and should result in prosecution. However,
Speaker 5: free people will only be pushed so far. Technology is
Speaker 5: transforming society at breakneck speed, generating disruption profound angst among
Speaker 5: the American people. As a result, when unmistakable symbols of
Speaker 5: a rising surveillance squirt appear on every major road that
Speaker 5: can tract your every movement, the pressure will build very quickly.
Speaker 5: Left unchecked, that pressure risks escalating into something violent or,
Speaker 5: god forbid, even deadly. Flock cameras have become a prolific
Speaker 5: everyday reminder of the Orwellian agenda advancing in plain sight.
Speaker 5: We used to call it Father common sense. Americans really
Speaker 5: must reject the excuses offered by the surveillance state and
Speaker 5: its corporate stooges. Consider the words of Flock Safety CEO
Speaker 5: Garrett Langley. He's referred to transparency activists.
Speaker 6: He simply mapped.
Speaker 5: The locations of these publicly visible cameras as terroristic organizations.
Speaker 5: He later issued a tempered apology only after widespread backlash.
Speaker 5: By the way, Langley has dismissed concerns about how the
Speaker 5: data is used for immigration enforcement by saying the company
Speaker 5: has no opinion and authorities to enforce the law no
Speaker 5: matter what Flock does. He has framed opposition as people
Speaker 5: merely angry at the federal administration or seeking to normalize lawlessness.
Speaker 5: These are not the statements of a man who cares
Speaker 5: one iota about liberties or are founding era revolutionaries fought for,
Speaker 5: killed and died for. This is a technocrat who wants
Speaker 5: to line his pockets, even if it means destroying the
Speaker 5: US Constitution and replacing it with a China like police
Speaker 5: state you see in actuality. Flop cameras are not a
Speaker 5: force multiplier for traditional law enforcement. They're actually a quiet
Speaker 5: technological substitute for it. They represent a sneaky end run
Speaker 5: amound the demand to fund and support community police, so
Speaker 5: setting putting more police officers on the street, more detectives
Speaker 5: on cases, and more resources into the necessary human work
Speaker 5: of policing. The system offers a dystopian surveillance grid that
Speaker 5: watches vehicle movements at scale. The authority shifts from local
Speaker 5: beat cops who understand and know their neighborhoods, to a
Speaker 5: network database controlled by some distant bureaucrat, an administrator, and
Speaker 5: private vendors. This is not strengthening law enforcement. It's actually
Speaker 5: defunding it by other means, replacing judgment, presence, and accountability
Speaker 5: with automated observation. Yes, we need more resources flowing into
Speaker 5: actual police work, not less block cameras poll resources in
Speaker 5: the opposite direction. Or well, the in tyranny is being
Speaker 5: substituted for the local officer who walks abeat, builds relationships
Speaker 5: and deters crimes through their presence and their knowledge. That
Speaker 5: substitution to me is terrified and it makes us less safe.
Speaker 5: In the long run, a government without restraints is more
Speaker 5: dangerous than any street criminal. The founding fathers understood this
Speaker 5: with absolute clarity. They decide the system of limited powers
Speaker 5: and enumerated rights precisely because they had seen what unchecked
Speaker 5: authority does. They did not trust benevolent intentions. They trusted structure, accountability,
Speaker 5: and the people's retained rights. Yes, a dense network of
Speaker 5: cameras can help self some crimes after the fact by
Speaker 5: placing a particular vehicle at a particular location that is
Speaker 5: really not in dispute here, But the cost is catastrophic.
Speaker 5: There is no longer any meaningful presumption of privacy on
Speaker 5: the roads of America. Because of these cameras are everywhere,
Speaker 5: The expectations become that every movement will be logged. This
Speaker 5: is the functional end to the Fourth Amendment's protection against
Speaker 5: unreasonable searches. Continuous tracking of the public's movement changes human behavior.
Speaker 5: People self center, they alter roots, they avoid certain destinations,
Speaker 5: and they live under the knowledge that their patterns are
Speaker 5: being recorded and can be query. Become lab rats in
Speaker 5: an experiment run by technocrat elites who assist it's all
Speaker 5: for our own good. This is Unamerican and it's abominable.
Speaker 5: Consider what these systems would enable during the next COVID
Speaker 5: style emergency. But the flick of a switch, vehicle tracking
Speaker 5: could enforce quarantine zones could monitor non essential travel and
Speaker 5: identify those who failed to comply with whatever mandate the
Speaker 5: moment demanded. Personal liberty would immediately become a lost vestige
Speaker 5: of the past. The same infrastructure lends itself to other
Speaker 5: nightmare scenarios. It should alarm every American. Imagine systematic tracking
Speaker 5: of citizens trying to gun stores, ranges, or Second Amendment events,
Speaker 5: feeding databases that later justify red flag actions or other
Speaker 5: selective enforcement.
Speaker 6: Image monitoring attendance at.
Speaker 5: Political rallies, church services, school board meetings, or protests against
Speaker 5: progressive policies, with patterns used to add pressure dissenters. These
Speaker 5: actions have already happened under previous Democrat administrations and could
Speaker 5: be turbocharged under flock camera surveillance, and it could easily
Speaker 5: be taken to another even scarier level. Imagine the network
Speaker 5: integrated with digital identification or future central bank digital currency,
Speaker 5: so that movement itself becomes a conditional privilege. Imagine climate
Speaker 5: or equity, luck to restrict travel by vehicle type, destination,
Speaker 5: or political reliability. Each of these is a natural extension
Speaker 5: or a system that already maps the daily movements of
Speaker 5: millions without individualized suspicion. It's the next step on the
Speaker 5: road to the inescapable reality of Big Brother. We cannot
Speaker 5: build a panoptic simply because we're frightened. The pan option,
Speaker 5: conceived by Jeremy Bentham, is a prison design which inmates
Speaker 5: never know whether they're being watched or what, therefore police themselves.
Speaker 5: Was later diagnosed by historian Michael Foucault as the model
Speaker 5: of modern disciplinary societies. It's a hellish nature lies in
Speaker 5: the permanent possibility of observation at all times. Freedom does
Speaker 5: not survive under the knowledge that every trip is potentially logged, queried,
Speaker 5: or retained for later use by whatever authority. Happens to
Speaker 5: hold the keys. Fear of crime is real and it's legitimate.
Speaker 5: Capitulation to total surveillance is not the answer. Give the police
Speaker 5: the tools I say, staffing, training, political backing they need
Speaker 5: to be effective against actual criminals. Cracked down hard on
Speaker 5: violent offenders, repeat predators, illegal aliens in the chaos that
Speaker 5: has been tolerated for way too long. Do it the
Speaker 5: way free societies have done it for generations, through officers, investigations, prosecutions, trials,
Speaker 5: and punishment without destroying the core constitutional rights that make
Speaker 5: America distinct. That model once worked. Americans were safer with
Speaker 5: and the government remained limited and rights remained primary. We
Speaker 5: can return to that past glory, but we cannot do
Speaker 5: so accepting false dichotomies that force a choice between safety
Speaker 5: and liberty. Those who demand we surrender privacy in exchanged
Speaker 5: for the promise of security are selling us a devious lie.
Speaker 5: It's time for localities and states to ban these cameras
Speaker 5: media before society becomes a power game. Meanwhile, President Donald
Speaker 5: Trump has delivered a decisive rebuke this very day to
Speaker 5: Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican Conference, insisting
Speaker 5: that the Upper Chamber remain in session until the Save
Speaker 5: America Act is passed, or better yet, that the filibusters terminated,
Speaker 5: so the Republicans can finally deliver our election integrity for
Speaker 5: the American people in a forceful, true social post, Trump declared,
Speaker 5: John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to
Speaker 5: leave town until it passes the Save America Act, or
Speaker 5: far better yet, terminates the filibuster. That's where Republicans can
Speaker 5: quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of. President Trump warned
Speaker 5: the Democrats will scrap the rule themselves the moment they
Speaker 5: regain power, adding that stupidity always brings losing and death.
Speaker 5: For those who don't understand the filibuster, it is a
Speaker 5: Senate rule, a custom, a tradition under which any measure
Speaker 5: requires sixty votes before it can move to the Senate
Speaker 5: floor for a vote. So simply having fifty votes, which
Speaker 5: I believe the Save America Act as today, plus the
Speaker 5: vote of the vote breaking Vice President JD. Vance is
Speaker 5: not enough to pass the bill. We need to do
Speaker 5: away with the filibuster because the Democrats, as the President says,
Speaker 5: surely will when they come and if they come back
Speaker 5: to power. President Trump is demanding no excuses, no retreat,
Speaker 5: and Pure America first resolved from all Republican senators after
Speaker 5: urging grassroots supporters last week to pressure through and call
Speaker 5: Friday for a ninety five billion dollar party line spending
Speaker 5: blueprint that includes critical election funding before the election. August sixth,
Speaker 5: recess presidents refusing to let Washington's status coal machinery grind
Speaker 5: progress to a halt. Senators Mike Lee of Utah and
Speaker 5: Rick Scott of Florida have shown backbone by backing a
Speaker 5: stay in town approach. Yet the broader Senate Republican conference,
Speaker 5: full of rhinos more attracted to institutional comfort than results,
Speaker 5: lacks the votes and the will. There is no appetite
Speaker 5: to end the filibuster. Instead of fighting, leadership appears content
Speaker 5: to back up and leave town while elections remain unsecured
Speaker 5: heading into this crucial mid term cycle. President Trump's pressure
Speaker 5: campaign is the leadership the country needs. Election integrity cannot wait.
Speaker 5: The Save America Act represents a major step to secure
Speaker 5: ballots nationwide and restore trust in our elections. It's really
Speaker 5: quite simple and it's not at all offensive. All they
Speaker 5: are saying is that one should be required to be
Speaker 5: a US citizen and to have photographic proof of it
Speaker 5: in order to vote. Some polls show that as many
Speaker 5: as eighty seven percent of Americans support this simple idea.
Speaker 5: By confronting the Senate's lethargy and weakness head on, the
Speaker 5: President's doing what weak need Republicans will not, putting the
Speaker 5: nation first and refusing to accept another cycle of empty
Speaker 5: promises and procedural surrender from the rhinos. We have been
Speaker 5: talking about fixing the election machinery in this country since
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, but we.
Speaker 6: Have done nothing about it.
Speaker 5: Now, the weak need, lily livered white wines swelling country
Speaker 5: club Republicans are hot to get out of town for
Speaker 5: vacation before enacting the simple Save America Act.
Speaker 6: President Trump is right. Now is the time.
Speaker 5: Call your US senator or congressman now and tell them
Speaker 5: no leaving for vacation till they pass the Save America Act.
Speaker 6: I'm Rogerstone.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Stone Zone right here on the
Speaker 5: Red Apple Audio Networks, and I'm ginned up for more.
Speaker 6: We'll be right.
Speaker 1: Back the Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red

Speaker 4: And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him
Speaker 4: and respect him.
Speaker 2: Rogers Stone, where's ros Here's Rogerstone.
Speaker 5: Welcome back into the Stone Zone. It looks to me
Speaker 5: like left wing activists are trying to find the new
Speaker 5: George Floud right there in Madison, Wisconsin. Hundreds of anti
Speaker 5: police activists marched through Madison, Wisconsin after officials fatally shot
Speaker 5: thirty eight year old Corey Ruez during a confrontation under
Speaker 5: state investigation, but the facts merging from police and DEO
Speaker 5: accounts complicate the activists execution narrative. Police Chief John Patterson
Speaker 5: said officers responding to report some property crime and bicycle
Speaker 5: theft when Ruez was taken to the ground and pulled
Speaker 5: a knife. Police deployed a taser, but it failed to stop,
Speaker 5: and authority said that Ruez wounded one officer with a
Speaker 5: knife and injured another before an officer fired three shots.
Speaker 5: Video reviewed by ABC News reportedly showed a knife and
Speaker 5: ru as his right hand, and footage shared officers recovering
Speaker 5: a knife afterwards. Despite these circumstances, Nearly five hundred demonstrators
Speaker 5: filled the streets, chanting anti police slogans, demanding police defunding,
Speaker 5: and confronting outdoor diners. One activist disrupted a police news conference,
Speaker 5: seized the microphone, and compared the shooting to what happened
Speaker 5: to fentanyl addict George Floyd in Minneapolis back in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty that, as you recall, Spiked sparked nationwide riots. Who
Speaker 5: has his family called the shooting an execution, argue that
Speaker 5: his criminal history did not define him really, perhaps because
Speaker 5: they're looking for their next payday. Ruez has roughly forty convictions,
Speaker 5: including violent offenses, a prior conviction for battery against a
Speaker 5: law enforcement officer, and a supervised release violation. The Wisconsin
Speaker 5: Department of Criminal Investigation will determine whether the shooting was lawful.
Speaker 5: They ultimately should away from political pressure. Left wing activists
Speaker 5: could always push and rush to condemn a police before
Speaker 5: evidence is complete, while minimizing the split second danger that
Speaker 5: our police officers face as part of their war on civilization.
Speaker 5: We can never back down against the leftist threat, otherwise
Speaker 5: it will be like twenty twenty all over again. I say,
Speaker 5: protect the rule of law that must always take precedence
Speaker 5: over the cries of the soulless woke mob. Meanwhile, doctor
Speaker 5: Anthony Fauci's diaries exposed him to be a psychopath. In
Speaker 5: one particular notation, he speaks about Michael Kaputo, the Undersecretary
Speaker 5: of HHS, sent over from Rump White House to try
Speaker 5: to get some handle on doctor Fauci and his self aggrandizement.
Speaker 5: It's very interesting. In his diary entry, Fauci specifically says,
Speaker 5: you know this Caputo, he's a con man. If a
Speaker 5: guy would just stop tweeting about Roger Stone and is
Speaker 5: paying more attention to my media appearances, we might be
Speaker 5: better off well. In my view, doctor Fauci is one
Speaker 5: of the great psychopaths of all time, and he could
Speaker 5: be the greatest mass murder in world history. I'm Roger Stone.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Stone Zone. I don't mind taking
Speaker 5: the slings and arrows if it's coming from doctor Anthony Fauci.
Speaker 6: Don't go away. We'll be right back with more.

Speaker 4: And people love him. Not everybody, but people love him
Speaker 4: in respect him. Rogers Stone, Where's Rogers?
Speaker 2: Here's Roger Stone.
Speaker 5: Welcome back into the Stone zone, as I said. Senator
Speaker 5: Rand Paul has released excerpts from doctor Anthony Fauci's personal diaries,
Speaker 5: and the picture they paint is well, deeply troubling. Across
Speaker 5: more than eleven hundred pages, the former federal COVID advisor
Speaker 5: repeatedly tracked his media appearances, his glowing media profiles, and
Speaker 5: his rising celebrity while Americans are being told to mask isolate,
Speaker 5: cancel holidays, closed businesses, and accept sweeping government restrictions on
Speaker 5: their private lives. And one May twenty twenty entry, Fauci
Speaker 5: describes his fame as explosive and wrote that he become
Speaker 5: the most recognizable person in the world. He also worried
Speaker 5: that the White House believed he was becoming a bigger
Speaker 5: star than President Trump. That self focused stands in sharp
Speaker 5: contrast to the enormous human cost of the COVID lockdown
Speaker 5: policy that he pushed, which included livelihoods, closed schools, family separation,
Speaker 5: and the erosion of our basic freedoms. Daries also showed
Speaker 5: Fauci warning against Thanksgiving travel while recounting a public walk
Speaker 5: where he was mobbed by admirers seeking photographs. Meanwhile, early
Speaker 5: entries repeatedly referenced Wuhan, China and the efforts to challenge
Speaker 5: the lab leak theory, showing that Fauchi initiated the cover
Speaker 5: up from the very outset. Just to remember, doctor Fauci
Speaker 5: denied under oath before the United States Senate under questioning
Speaker 5: from Senator Ryan Paul that the COVID nineteen vaccination had
Speaker 5: been weaponized or given gain a function status in a Wuhan,
Speaker 5: China lab. That was a law, a crime lying under
Speaker 5: oath to Congress. I was charged lying under oath to Congress,
Speaker 5: but no misstatement I made to Congress was material. In
Speaker 5: other words, there was no underlying crime to cover up.
Speaker 5: Not the case in the situation with doctor Fauci. Fauci
Speaker 5: now is a scheduled to testify before the Senate this
Speaker 5: week again where Senator Paul's is bett to depress him
Speaker 5: on the pandemic response once again go through the gain
Speaker 5: of function research and the credibility of his past statements.
Speaker 6: It's time.
Speaker 5: I think that the American people deserve straight answers. The
Speaker 5: COVID era cannot be buried under media praise and bureaucratic excuses.
Speaker 5: Accountability is long overdue, and the American man play as
Speaker 5: I like to call him, has skirted it for too long.
Speaker 6: Fauci must be brought before the court of law. Of course,
Speaker 6: she will.
Speaker 5: Argue that he has a pardon, a preemptive pardon, in
Speaker 5: which case the Justice Department can then argue that his
Speaker 5: pardons executed with an autopen.
Speaker 6: That would put the.
Speaker 5: Authority and the legitimacy of the autopen in front of
Speaker 5: an American court.
Speaker 6: Something I would like to see.
Speaker 5: This is what he did during the cod pandemic. It
Speaker 5: is inexcusable. Let us hope that the Justice part will
Speaker 5: ultimately charge with him his lies before the Senate, if
Speaker 5: not crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, a new independent review has
Speaker 5: supposed how badly Bill Gates understand the extent of his
Speaker 5: dealing with the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. One of the
Speaker 5: things I do find humorous is people online x sometimes
Speaker 5: on other websites talk about Roger Stone being seen on
Speaker 5: Epstein's island, essentially being accused specifically of assafting a child.
Speaker 5: We knew it was in because we saw as Nixon tattoo.
Speaker 5: That is defamatory, it's a lie. In fact, I'm the
Speaker 5: first author in the country fully exposed Jeffrey Epstein back
Speaker 5: in twenty fifteen in my book The Clinton's Or on Women.
Speaker 5: But whenever you see this claim of Roger Stone being
Speaker 5: seen on Epstein's island, you never see a name associated
Speaker 5: with it. That's because anybody who says that will get
Speaker 5: slapped with a defamation suit faster than you can.
Speaker 6: Blink an eye.
Speaker 5: Just for those of you who may be thinking about
Speaker 5: it in any event, for years, Bill Gates portrayed his
Speaker 5: association with Epstein as limited, regrettable, and barely a relationship
Speaker 5: with The Gates Foundation's Wilmer Haile review found roughly thirty
Speaker 5: meetings between Epstein and Foundation leaders, including Gates, from twenty
Speaker 5: eleven through twenty fourteen. Those contacts continued even though employees
Speaker 5: repeatedly warned senior leadership about Epstein's two thousand and eight
Speaker 5: sex crime conviction and the obvious reputational danger. Meetings occurred
Speaker 5: at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and on the foundation's campus. Gates
Speaker 5: already knew about Epstein's criminal history, yet discussions continued over
Speaker 5: proposed philanthropic projects that ultimately produced no funding, no meetingul
Speaker 5: benefit to the public. The review found no evidence that
Speaker 5: the foundation paid Epstein, participated in illegal conduct, or knew
Speaker 5: about his trafficking operation. That's their story and they're sticking
Speaker 5: to it. Gates misleading public minimization of the relationship shows
Speaker 5: the connection is at a minimum bizarre. Bill Gates previously
Speaker 5: claimed there was no relationship of any kind and called
Speaker 5: the association a mistake. Well, thirty meetings to me, that
Speaker 5: indicates there was a relationship. Thirty meetings after repeating internal
Speaker 5: warnings are not easily dismissed as a few unfortunate or
Speaker 5: mistaken encounters. The review also had a major limitation, as
Speaker 5: investigators did not examine Gates' personal emails or communications from
Speaker 5: his private office. That means many important questions still remain unanswered.
Speaker 5: Gates letter testified before Congress, calling the associate siation a
Speaker 5: grave error in judgment, but accountability requires more than carefully
Speaker 5: lawyered regret. The fact show an elite billionaire ignored warnings
Speaker 5: continued engaging with a convicted predator, and then spent years
Speaker 5: downplaying how extensive those communications really were. It's now clear
Speaker 5: that Gays is another co collaborator of Epstein's and should
Speaker 5: also be brought up on charges. In my view, A
Speaker 5: federal appeals court has handed Democrat led states a temporary
Speaker 5: victory over President Trump's election integrity agenda, blocking key safeguards
Speaker 5: just months before the midterm election.
Speaker 6: Today, two to.
Speaker 5: One decision, the First US Court Circuit Court of Appeals
Speaker 5: refused to pause a lower court in junction preventing the
Speaker 5: administration from enforcing major portions of President Trump's executive Order
Speaker 5: in twenty three states and the District of Columbia through
Speaker 5: November three. The order directs federal agencies to help states
Speaker 5: verify citizenship Titan standards for mail in ballots and investigate
Speaker 5: officials who send federal ballots to ineligible recipients. These are
Speaker 5: common sense protections designed to restore public confidence and elections
Speaker 5: that are too often operate with weak safeguards, inconsistent rules,
Speaker 5: and little accountability. Democrat officials, of course, claim the President
Speaker 5: is intruding on state authority, but the practical result of
Speaker 5: their lawsuit is clear basic elections security measures remain frozen
Speaker 5: while the clock runs down toward election day.
Speaker 6: The Justice Department.
Speaker 5: Is now expected to seek emergency relief from the US
Speaker 5: Supreme Court. That makes the stakes here unmistakable.
Speaker 6: The Justices must do the right thing.
Speaker 5: They must recognize that integrity is not partisan. Citizens requires
Speaker 5: to vote are not extreme and secure male ballot procedures are.
Speaker 6: Not voter suppression.
Speaker 5: The requirement that one have a photo idea is not
Speaker 5: in any way racist. You need a photo idea in
Speaker 5: order to order a to buy a pack of beer,
Speaker 5: six pack of beer, order a pack of cigarettes, get
Speaker 5: out an airplane. Why not a photo id to vote?
Speaker 5: Just common sense. Americans deserve elections they can trust, and
Speaker 5: a president. Our president has a duty to protect federal
Speaker 5: interests when states fail to act. Delay now threatens public
Speaker 5: confidence and electional legitimacy nationwide. The Supreme Court should move
Speaker 5: quickly cut through the procedural gainsmanship and rule for the
Speaker 5: Trump administration before another election is conducted under rules that
Speaker 5: invite abuse from organized Democrat fraudsters. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister
Speaker 5: Benjamin Nett and Yahoo plans to travel to New York
Speaker 5: City this September for the United Nations General Assembly, despite
Speaker 5: months of political controversy about whether local officials can or
Speaker 5: should seek his arrest under an international criminal court warrant.
Speaker 6: This is outrageous.
Speaker 5: First of all, the United States of America does not
Speaker 5: recognize the International Criminal Court in the Hague. We are
Speaker 5: not governed by some bureaucratic judges in another country.
Speaker 6: The trip comes after New.
Speaker 5: York City Mayor Zoraim Mamdami acknowledged the city lacks the
Speaker 5: legal authority to arrest a visiting foreign head of state,
Speaker 5: reversing his earlier campaign promises that he would be the
Speaker 5: man who arrested net In Yahoo if he came to
Speaker 5: New York City. Net Yahoo's decision to proceed the visit
Speaker 5: is a demonstration of resolved in the face of political
Speaker 5: pressure and international criticism. The Israeli leader has dismissed the
Speaker 5: allegations against him and made clear that he intends to
Speaker 5: appear at the annual gathering of world leaders despite these
Speaker 5: calls for his arrest. The planned visit also comes amid
Speaker 5: heightened concern about growing anti Semitism in New York City
Speaker 5: and across the United States. Jewish organizations, law enforcement officials,
Speaker 5: and public leaders have reported increased anti Semitic incidents in
Speaker 5: recent months and years, with recent events in New York
Speaker 5: having intensified debate over the safety of Jewish communities and
Speaker 5: the impact of heated rhetoric surrounding Israel. Mayor Ma'am Domi
Speaker 5: himself fanned the flames of anti Semitic hatred to win
Speaker 5: over the growing radical left base of Democrats to become
Speaker 5: elected mayor, but then he capitulated became time to live
Speaker 5: up to his rhetoric. Net Yaho's visits represents more than
Speaker 5: a diplomatic appearance. This is an act of political courage
Speaker 5: and a refusal to be intimidated by critics, underscoring Israel's
Speaker 5: determination to engage with the international community while standing firm
Speaker 5: against efforts to isolate the Jewish state. Against the backdrop
Speaker 5: of rising anti Semitism nationwide, net Yaho's willingness to appear
Speaker 5: sends a message the Jewish leaders and the state of
Speaker 5: Israel will not be deterred by threats, intimidation, or political pressure.
Speaker 5: In other words, the terrorists and the sympathizers will not win,
Speaker 5: and the atrocities of the past will not reoccur on
Speaker 5: our shores. Never again. Meanwhile, a Minnesota jury has convicted
Speaker 5: Shiloh Hendrix of disorderly conduct after a viral playground confrontation
Speaker 5: which she used of her and disgusting racial slur. Now
Speaker 5: her words were ugly and indefensible and beneath stands of
Speaker 5: decency most certainly will not be repeated on this radio program.
Speaker 5: But offensive speech does not automatically lose First Amendment protection.
Speaker 5: Hendrix's attorney asked the court to instruct jurors his speech
Speaker 5: alone can be punished only if it meets the narrow
Speaker 5: constitutional definition of fighting words that means a personally abusive
Speaker 5: language inherently likely to travel and trigger an immediate violent response.
Speaker 5: Judge CHRISTA. Daley rejected that proposed language, as the debt
Speaker 5: was being stacked against Hendrix in her trial after woke
Speaker 5: leftist attempted to destroy Hendrick's life. In the aftermathem of
Speaker 5: her comments, she was able to actually raise hundreds of
Speaker 5: thousands of dollars from people who believe she deserved a
Speaker 5: fair trial despite her abhorrent speech. Judge Daily orchestrated a
Speaker 5: kangaroo court proceeding against Hendricks to ensure that that did
Speaker 5: not happen. Judge Daily's eleven page instructions never mentioned the
Speaker 5: First Amendment, yet directed jurors to examine their implicit bias
Speaker 5: and consider whether the slur could provoke violence. That is
Speaker 5: essentially instruct the juris to disregard that regard the rule
Speaker 5: of law.
Speaker 6: And institute the rule of woke.
Speaker 5: Courts is supposed to apply constitutional standards, not ideological social theories.
Speaker 5: It's the principle here that is important. As abhorrent as
Speaker 5: some of the words may have been, the man filming
Speaker 5: Hendrix repeatedly urged her to say the offensive verb where
Speaker 5: he remained she did not respond violently. Hendrix also alleged
Speaker 5: that he followed her from the playground towards her car.
Speaker 5: None of that excuse is what she said, by the way.
Speaker 5: It does, however, matter when deciding whether her speech crossed
Speaker 5: the demanding legal threshold of criminal puns. That's certainly a
Speaker 5: very high bar. The jury acquitted Hendrix of a disorderly
Speaker 5: conduct allegation involving a child, but convicted her over the
Speaker 5: confrontation with a cameraman. Her cameraman. Her attorney called the
Speaker 5: proceedings bizarre, and he felt he was fighting a prosecutor
Speaker 5: and a judge, he has vowed to appeal. We should
Speaker 5: certainly not be rooting for her appeal to be successful.
Speaker 5: Apart me, we should certainly be rooting for he appeal
Speaker 5: to be successful, or this case should be used as
Speaker 5: a president expanded to violate First Amendment rights in more cases.
Speaker 1: The Stone Zone entertaining and informative on the Red Apple podcast.
Speaker 5: Networks Welcome Back into the Stone Zone. A federal judge
Speaker 5: has delivered a major victory for American citizens and Illinois taxpayer,
Speaker 5: striking down state laws that gave illegal immigrants access to
Speaker 5: in state tuition and taxpayer funded financial aid. The ruling
Speaker 5: came after the federal government, with Illinois and Governor J. B. Pritzker,
Speaker 5: argued that the state was unlawfully giving benefits to people
Speaker 5: in the country illegally while denying those same advantages to
Speaker 5: many American citizens from other states. The court rejected Illinois's
Speaker 5: attempt to dismiss the case and declared several policies unconstitutional
Speaker 5: and invalid, including in state tuition rules, the Rise Act,
Speaker 5: and the Illinois Dream Act. The Rise Act, signed by J. B.
Speaker 5: Pritsker himself in twenty nineteen, allowed certain illegal immigrants to
Speaker 5: qualify financial assistance if they attended Illinois schools and promised
Speaker 5: to seek legal status when eligible in the future. But
Speaker 5: Judge David Dugan made the principle clear. American citizens cannot
Speaker 5: be treated worse than illegal immigrants. US attorney Steve Weinhoft
Speaker 5: said that Illinois had attempted to reward illegal immigration at
Speaker 5: taxpayer's expense and place foreign nationals ahead of Americans. This ruling,
Speaker 5: he said, simply versus the federal law that passed by
Speaker 5: the Congress. Republic Congressman Mary Miller, good friend of mine,
Speaker 5: raised the decision as a victory for students and families
Speaker 5: who watched Illinois leaders prioritize illegal immigrants over citizens. So
Speaker 5: the message here is straightforward. As public benefits funded by
Speaker 5: American taxpayers to serve American citizens, First states do not
Speaker 5: have the right to undermine federal immigration law or create
Speaker 5: special advantages for those who entered or remained in the
Speaker 5: country illegally. Blue states are not permitted to subvert the
Speaker 5: rule of law in favor of illegal aliens. This ruling
Speaker 5: restores fairness, respect for the US Constitution, and puts taxpayers
Speaker 5: and American students back where they belong. Prioritized first. Meanwhile,
Speaker 5: Cracker Barrel's leadership shake up is another textbook example of
Speaker 5: go broke after a costly rebranding effort alienated local customers
Speaker 5: and failed to reverse the restaurant chains finding struggles. CEO
Speaker 5: Julie Messino will step down effect of August tenth and
Speaker 5: be replaced by veteran Republican Barbary veteran restaurant executive David Denno.
Speaker 5: Her departure follows months of declining sales, weaker profits, and
Speaker 5: continued efforts to repair the damage from a widely criticized
Speaker 5: modernization campaign. Under Messino, Cracker Barrel launched there seven hundred
Speaker 5: million dollars overhaul intended to refascist restaurants menus in public image.
Speaker 5: This was perhaps the worst rebranding in commercial American history,
Speaker 5: even making bud Light's transgender partnership pale by comparison and
Speaker 5: immediately made headline news due to its complete and utter
Speaker 5: tone deafness. The company actually removed the old timer figure
Speaker 5: from its logo, decluttering dining rooms and altered the traditional
Speaker 5: country store atmosphere that had defined this brand for generations.
Speaker 5: Customers responded with a a swift backlash, using the company
Speaker 5: of abandoning its identity in pursuit of a more fashionable
Speaker 5: corporate image. Cracker Barrel reversed parts of the rebrand within days,
Speaker 5: acknowledging that the effort had completely missed its mark, but
Speaker 5: the retreat did not immediately restore customer confidence. Quarterly revenue
Speaker 5: and profits later declined. The company sold restaurant properties to
Speaker 5: reduce debt, and then it unloaded its Maple Street Biscuit
Speaker 5: company business while closing sixteen of its locations. Cracker Barrel
Speaker 5: shares also remained lower than they were before this rebranding controversy.
Speaker 5: This episode offers a clear warning to companies tempted to
Speaker 5: discard tradition in search of woke plaudits and left wing
Speaker 5: cultural approval. Cracker Barrel built its reputation on comfort food, nostalgia,
Speaker 5: love of country, and a proud display of authentic Americana.
Speaker 5: By distancing itself from those qualities, management appears to forget
Speaker 5: the customers who made the brand successful to begin with.
Speaker 5: Messino's unceremonious acts suggests that market delivered it's verdict. The
Speaker 5: market is always right. Thanks for joining us today in
