The Stone Zone | 04-04-25

The Stone Zone dives into Roger Stone’s legal battles, accusing NY AG Letitia James of residency fraud and tax violations while framing her Trump prosecution as "lawfare," and questioning Chief Justice Roberts’ impartiality after his trip with Norm Eisen. He praises Laura Loomer’s role in Trump’s NSC purges and pivots to Canada’s April 28 election, where Pierre Poilievre’s anti-Trudeau populism—promising spending caps and opposing firearm registrations—could reshape North American politics, with trade tensions and fentanyl trafficking as key flashpoints.

Judge Bosberg's Ruling 00:14:55
Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our country has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state, every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress: protect patient care to keep America strong.
Don't cut rural health care.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
People love him and respect him.
Roger Stone.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
Welcome.
You are entering the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
First of all, I want to thank the many listeners for their emails, their text messages, their phone calls, wishing me a speedy recovery from laryngitis because, well, Roger Stone, who can't talk, is like UCM Bolt or Roger Bannister, who can't run.
So I am so glad to be back in the zone with you.
There's so much breaking news.
Remember New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia Tish James?
She's the one who used a New York state law that has never been used before to charge President Donald Trump with inflating the value of his assets in order to obtain commercial loans for his real estate projects.
Every penny was, of course, paid back on time, in some cases early.
And the banks that loaned him the money made $40 million in interest.
Every one of them said they would be pleased to do business with the Trump organization yet again.
This was part of the tsunami of lawfare, part and parcel of the same operation that made a change in New York state law to extend the statue of limitations for sexual assault so that E. Jean Carroll could file a lawsuit claiming she had been sexually assaulted by Trump over 30 years ago.
When the Democrats and legislature made that minor amendment, little did they know that they would catch Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams in similar sexual assault lawsuits.
Anyway, Letitia James was speaking yesterday to Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network Convention, and she says she's going after Donald Trump.
Take a listen now if you could make that
out.
Uh, Leticia James said, I ain't afraid of no, president Donald Trump.
Why she chooses to talk like a ghetto rat, I don't know.
She has a fine education and a law degree.
I guess that is to appeal to the rabble, but I would say that she should be more concerned with herself.
We learned only yesterday, due to the great reporting by Sam Antar at whitecollarfraud.com that Letitia James, who built her career allegedly on exposing deception, has a real estate transaction in Norfolk, Virginia, which actually happened just weeks before the Trump fraud trial she championed opened, that raises serious questions about her own compliance with New York state law.
A declaration buried in legal filings states her intent to make her Virginia home her principal residence.
She writes, I hereby declare that I intend to occupy this property as my political principal residence.
Close quote.
Those words appear in black and white in a specific power of attorney signed by James and filed in Norfolk, Virginia on August 17, 2023, authorizing one of her relatives to act on her behalf in a transaction that included that very declaration.
Now, those were not the words written by a lawyer acting in James' behalf.
They're her own words.
That is, as my friend Sam Antar points out, her intent.
It is most definitely her signature.
This is a smoking gun on its own, completely separate from how the mortgage might be interpreted, because it stands as a clear declaration of intent from a sitting New York State Attorney General to establish principal residence in another state.
The $219,000 mortgage requires occupancy within 60 days.
Not possible, of course, because she was in the New York courts daily during that time.
Under New York state law, moving out of state on a technical basis, in other words, moving your principal residency, creates an automatic vacancy in the office you hold.
The property and the mortgage in question, well, they're missing from Letitia James' official disclosures.
This was not some boilerplate language that she inadvertently signed.
It is a standalone legal declaration.
This is but one of the problems that I think the Attorney General faces.
The other one, frankly, is the habitual use of state and campaign resources for her personal use.
Is it coincidental that on the same date that she spends $8,000 plus dollars using a state airplane to fly to Martha's Vineyard, her campaign pays a $2,000 cost for the rental of a beachfront rental?
That is just one of several flights that seem to coincide either with campaign business or her personal business.
That, by the way, is a federal income tax violation if there was personal benefit to her.
So if I were Attorney James James, I would not be worried about no President Donald Trump.
I'd be worried about myself because federal and state officials are sure to look at all of this.
Meanwhile, it turns out that the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court has a secret friendship with the chief architect of Donald Trump's tsunami of lawfare, one Norm Eisen.
I guess we finally know why Jester Roberts acts the way he does.
It turns out that he's a very good friend with one of the biggest deep state operatives on the planet, a man literally known as the architect of the Russian collusion hoax, the architect of the Ukrainian impeachment hoax, the architect of the January 6 phenomena,
an architect of the multiple prosecutions of Donald Trump in New York, all of which are legally flawed.
Norm Eisen admitted that he and Chief Justice John Roberts spent a week together in the Czech Republic working on, quote, America rule of law, close quote, issues.
What could that possibly mean?
Eisen claimed that Roberts isn't corrupt.
He's just a close friend who happened to fly overseas and stay at Eisen's posh, 150-room palace, to collaborate on transatlantic political projects.
This was not just some casual meetup.
This was a week-long stay at Eisen's home in Europe.
And this is while Roberts was serving as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
So we're talking about a so-called rule of law collaboration from the same man who's made his mission to sabotage Donald Trump and bury the America first movement in lawsuits and lawfare.
Eisen most definitely has a hand in the recent unconstitutional ruling in which Judge Jed Bosberg has ruled that Donald Trump does not have the authority to deport violent extremists and criminals from the United States.
How coincidental that Judge Bosberg and Judge Amy Berman Jackson, that's the judge who sat over my case and withheld exculpatory evidence from my defense attorneys that proved beyond a shadow of doubt that there was no Russian collusion, no WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime on my part.
My lawyers filed a motion with the judge to see Robert Mueller's entire unredacted final report.
The judge denied it and said that she would personally review the report and give any segments relevant to my defense to my defense attorneys.
She failed to include in that a section that we learned about only through a lawsuit by BuzzFeed in which even Robert Mueller could not sugarcoat the fact that he had found no evidence of Russian collusion, Wikileaks collaboration, or any other crime on my part.
In fact, he admitted that if he had found that I had received anything from WikiLeaks, which he didn't, that it would not have been a crime under the First Amendment.
By the way, don't look for that in the New York Times or the Washington Post or the Wall Street Journal.
The Department of Justice decided to release that stunning information at midnight on Election Day of 2020.
In other words, the busiest media day of the year to ensure that it received no coverage whatsoever.
Interestingly enough, Eisen also admitted recently that Judge Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are so anti-Trump that they are completely compromised.
Now, I believe, even though I'm not an attorney, that this is a massive conflict of interest.
Justice Roberts has no business presiding over any of the cases that Eisen and his ilk of law affair activists are funneling through the courts.
Eisen has tied up so many of these weaponized cases that are aimed at thwarting the will of the American people in bringing about the change that we voted for.
As Senator Ted Cruz pointed out in a Senate hearing the day before yesterday, what they do is they go forum shopping.
They find a particularly loony left-wing judge in any jurisdiction across the country to get a ruling that is nationwide.
So they have a federal judge, Boesberg, who, by the way, with Judge Amy Berman Jackson showed up, not wearing their robes, of course, to sit in the audience for Jack Smith's indictment of Donald Trump in a case that was later dropped.
They find a judge who issues a ruling that covers the entire country.
So they have federal judges who have ruled that Trump doesn't have the authority to close down the Department of Education, which of course he does.
They have found another judge who say that Trump does not have the authority to lay off federal employees, which of course he does.
They have found yet another judge to rule that Trump cannot, as I say, deport dangerous, illegal, violent criminals and terrorists.
Where will this all go?
Well, it should go to the U.S. Supreme Court, but these new revelations about Roberts' conflict of interest are deeply troubling.
Now, the judiciary does have wide authority.
Back in 1802, President Thomas Jefferson elected to ignore the federal courts, while the Republic is still here.
I think that the president should listen to a three-judge appeals panel in a federal ruling, but these random judges trying to undo the will of the American people is judicial tyranny.
And my friends, it will not stand.
President Trump has appealed directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, but Judge John Roberts cannot sit in judgment on that matter because, as I have just demonstrated, he is hopelessly conflicted.
You won't hear this news anyplace else, but right here in the Stone Zone and right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, we'll be back with more breaking political news.
So whatever you do, don't touch that dial because here you get the stone cold truth and plenty of it.

This is the stone zone with Roger Stone.
The Stone Zone.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.
And I'll say this to Trudy Roger.
He's no baby.
And right now, he's cleaner than anybody in this place.
Now they treated him very unfairly.
Now, get him a zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
Well, little Laura Loomer, the investigative journalist and longtime friend of mine, was certainly in the news yesterday.
Now, Loomer tells people that I am her mentor, and that may be true.
She was one of my strongest and most vocal supporters when my family and I were virtually destroyed in the Russian collusion hoax.
And I value loyalty.
If you're not loyal, what do you have?
Does that mean I agree with everything Laura Loomer says and does?
Most certainly not.
And I'm sure she doesn't agree with everything I say and do.
But in this case, they're upset because Laura Loomer went to the president, got a meeting with him.
He invited her, by the way, for those in the fake news media who are flipping out, and heard her out regarding certain officials in his administration.
Shortly after his meeting, three members of the National Security Council staff were fired.
The president says that his meeting with Loomer did not affect his decision-making process.
He said, Laura Loomer is a very good patriot and a strong person.
I saw her yesterday for a little while.
She makes recommendations of things and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations, Trump said.
Did she have anything to do with the NSC aides that were asked to the president?
Abruptly responded no.
Interestingly enough, I think the individual, the number two person in the National Security Advisors, Alex Wong, if one will look at his background, he is a Bidenite.
His wife was a U.S. attorney under Biden.
There's nothing America-first about him.
He is kind of the first major official that Loomer identified as being a Trump hater within the National Security Council team.
He's still there.
The mainstream media is going absolutely ballistic with the allegations that Loomer is responsible for helping expel three members of Trump's national security team, suspecting of having pro-war foreign policy agendas.
This is will be, of course, contradictory to President Trump's pro-peace position.
Loomer went to the White House on Wednesday, entered the West Wing, spoke with the president about several NSC staffers.
According to the New York Times, Ms. Loomer walked into the White House with a sheaf of papers.
Two of the people said she proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
So you can say anything you want about Laura Loomer.
She is the hardest working investigative journalist in the country, and she's often right.
And in this case, she is absolutely right.
We saw the first Trump administration agenda being diluted, delayed, and derailed by some inside the fort.
Justin Trudeau's Political Legacy 00:14:43
That cannot happen again.
And thanks to Laura Loomer, I don't think it's going to.
When we come back, we're going to go to our northern border and talk about the election in Canada and who will succeed Justin Trudeau.
You're in the right place.
It's the Stone Zone, the place for politics here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
They went after a guy named Roger Stone, who's sitting in the office.
And I'll say this, Santa Roger.
He's no baby.
And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.
Now they treated him very unfairly.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
The Canadian federal election is scheduled for Monday, April 28th.
This date was set after Prime Minister Mark Kearney, who became Prime Minister upon the resignation of Justin Trudeau, advised the Governor General to dissolve Parliament on March 23rd, 2025, triggering a 36-day campaign period.
Joining me now is Stockwell Day.
Stockwell Day has a long career in the forefront of public policy development at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government.
He served as a member of the Alberta legislature, a member of the Canadian Parliament, a high-profile provincial and federal cabinet minister, and as Canada's leader of Her Majesty's official opposition team.
At every stage, he's worked tirelessly to advocate for Canadians and for freedom.
I had the blessed opportunity to actually meet him in church and am delighted that he agreed to join us today.
Stockwell, welcome to the Stone Zone.
Thank you, Roger.
Good to be with you.
I'm a great admirer of Pierre Palliev, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, the head of the official opposition.
And I have to play this short clip of him schooling a member of the fake news media.
On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.
What does that mean?
Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess.
I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently.
Like what?
Left-wing, you know, this and that, right-wing.
I mean, that type of ideological stuff.
I never really talk about left or right.
Anyways, a lot of people.
I don't really believe in that.
Like who?
I don't know who, but...
Well, you're the one who asked the question.
So you must know somebody.
Okay.
I'm sure there's some out there, but anyways, the point of this question is, I mean, why should Canadians trust you with their vote, given not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page of Donald Trump's book, but also thinking about what page?
What page can you give me?
Give me the page.
Give me the page.
In terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of Trudeau and the left wing and all of this, I mean, you make quite a, you know, it's quite a play that you make on it.
So I'm not sure.
I don't know what your question is.
Then forget that.
Why should Canadians trust you with their vote?
Common sense.
Common sense for a change.
We're going to make common sense common in this country.
We don't have any common sense in the current government.
You know, the guy prints $600 billion, grows our money supply by 32% in three years.
That's growing the money eight times faster than the economy.
No wonder we have the worst inflation in four decades.
I'm going to cap spending, cut waste, so that we can balance the budget and bring down inflation and interest rates.
You'll want to be able to pay your mortgage again.
You want to be able to afford rent?
Then you have to vote for Pierre Polyev because I am the only one with a common sense plan that will bring back the buying power of your paycheck.
Now, if you saw the actual video of that, Pierre Polyev is calmly eating an apple through the entire thing.
It's one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Tucker Carlson actually sent me that audio by text.
We both enjoyed it.
Stock, you know the man.
Tell us about him.
Well, I do know him.
I've had the honor when I ran to be leader of the official opposition.
This is 20 years ago, over 20 years ago in Canada.
Pierre at the time was a young fired-up university student.
And just because of the way he could connect with people, we got him to run our campus outreach program right across the country.
He brought in just tons of young and college-age and educated vote.
Then when I got elected, I successfully won that particular leadership campaign.
Pierre agreed to come to Ottawa with me as my assistant, worked with me for a couple of years in that regard.
So I know him well, and I watched him with great satisfaction mature over the years.
And not that he needed a lot of maturity, but he's learned a lot.
So I'm not surprised to, this is the type of way he addresses.
He expects direct answers from direct questions, which you don't often get from media.
And so I'm not surprised to see him do this and very pleased to see how he's running things as leader of the official opposition right now in Canada.
How would you describe the factors that led to Justin Trudeau's resignation?
My wife is Cuban-American.
She fully believes the idea that he may be the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro and Margaret Trudeau, who, let's face it, did, as they say, get around.
I don't know whether that's true or not, but I do know he's an authoritarian.
I do know when you seize the bank accounts of people because you don't agree with their views.
I do know when you want every citizen in the country who owns a firearm to register the fact that they own it, that that's a step in an authoritarian direction.
When you throw people in jail because they disagree with government policy, people like Tamara Lisht and Chris Barber, two folks that I know, I know what he is, but how would you describe the factors that led to his resignation?
Well, I'm not surprised to see you've done the research there.
Those are all true, factual events that you've talked about.
The other, what you started with, the rumors, well, you know, that's out there and we'll let that float as it may.
It took a number of years for mainstream media in Canada, which leans significantly liberal, small, and small and large.
It took a long time for them to begin to report, I would say, the negative side of what he was doing.
And really what you heard Pierre Polyev articulate at the start of the program here, it's the terrible impact of the fiscal policies.
People have lost their buying power.
People are not able to purchase homes.
On and on it goes inflation.
And it just became so increasingly obvious that media, mainstream media, had to really start reporting it.
And as you know, with mainstream media, they largely affect the undecided people in a population.
In Canada, at any particular time, that can be 5% to 8%, 9% of people.
And they finally, through Polyev focusing on it with real intensity and forcing the questions to be asked, the public in general became increasingly disillusioned with Justin Trudeau because of how what they saw happening, mainly in their own buying power.
We literally saw our future dissipating in front of our eyes.
Mainstream media had to start reporting that in the last couple of years as they did and started reporting accurately.
Trudeau continued to fall on the polls and Pierre Polyev continued to rise.
One of the major factors in this country in 2020 was the widespread use of censorship, mostly on the internet, but censorship across the board.
We now know, thanks to Elon Musk and his release of internal documents, that our own American government was coordinating with all of these social media giants to essentially silence any voice that talked about whether it was the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccination or whether it was the legitimacy and integrity of our elections or whether it was Hunter Biden's laptop,
which we turned out, thanks to the great reporting of the New York Post, to be completely authentic and real.
I'm concerned about the extent to which censorship by the government is a real problem, even worse than in the United States in Canada.
Your thoughts?
Well, it's a problem, and the way it works is the government financing of what they call, or what we call legacy media, mainstream media, the CBC, the Canada Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and some other mainstream media.
They have significant subsidies available to them that other media don't.
And that's part of, along with the fact, Roger, that most people in mainstream media have been schooled in a philosophical and political worldview, which cranks significantly to the left, which is in fact culturally Marxist in terms of its viewpoint.
And that, added with the fact that they could actually lose subsidies, their entire subsidy, if the Conservatives get elected, I believe it just, you know, it strikes terror in their heart on the one hand, and they're absolutely convinced to the core that small seat conservatism is evil and therefore a threat.
And therefore, taking a culturally Marxist view, which is, and as you know, Marx himself, I'm not saying the media are communist, I'm using the expression culturally Marxist, which is if there are voices that are speaking out against what the policy of the day is, the voices must be silent.
And of course, the way Stalin did it and the way through the Soviet years it happened, people would just be eliminated in the public square.
It's different now, thank God.
We have a democracy, but the forces that be still find a way to eliminate in the public square or cancel people.
Obviously, they don't physically do that.
But it's been the use of that power, the use of the large megaphone of mainstream media with the voice application of government subsidies that leads to self-censorship.
First of all, people are afraid to speak up.
And then actual censorship.
It's happened to me when I was canceled a few years ago.
It's happened to others.
And they wield that as a club, which literally bludgeons anybody who wants to speak up on certain matters that are going against what they are trying to carve out as the mainstream view, mainstream philosophical worldview.
It's an awful instrument.
We have seen the ability to speak freely without extreme punishment.
We've seen that increase in Canada.
It was alarming to our international friends to see Justin Trudeau actually to seize bank accounts on a trucker convoy that had emerged in Ottawa.
And at the end of the day, after all the investigations and everything else, the honking of horns, which can be irritating, was one of the things that led to people getting extremely upset.
And it was really, you know, when people actually started to come to grips with the fact that bank accounts were frozen, that began to be the start, I think, of a lot of citizens who hadn't really seen the heavy hand of government before starting to wake up and say, this is going too far.
We, of course, now only recently learned that we have the same subsidies here in the United States for legacy media.
Thanks to Elon Musk and Doge, we now know that the U.S. taxpayers sent $140 million to the New York Times.
Plus, a lot of subscriptions.
$90 million to Politico, the fake news propaganda front that pretends to be a journalistic enterprise.
$9 million to Reuters.
I don't think government should subsidize media, period.
Frankly, I think the national public broadcast should be shut down.
Their reporting is not unbiased.
It's not news.
It's political propaganda.
A lot of discussion in this country regarding Justin Trudeau's place in Mark Carney and his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, who was, of course, convicted in New York City essentially for being the pimp for Jeffrey Epstein.
There are photos can be seen widely on the internet of them together.
Those are not deep fakes.
They're real.
Do you think the people in Canada are aware of this connection and will it make any have any effect on this race?
Concerns in Canadian Politics 00:06:21
I think there's an awareness of some of the things you just talked about.
Again, the mainstream media will pursue with intensity questions that are aimed at, let's say, a conservative leader just because they are so philosophically opposed to where conservatism goes generally.
So if you get an accusation of any kind, it'll be pursued with real vigor.
If it's against a leading liberal figure, the same intensity doesn't happen.
So it'll be mentioned, and then it's like the mainstream media says, there, we've mentioned it, and then it goes away.
And so the time and opportunity it takes for something to sink into the public psyche, it doesn't catch, it doesn't hold.
So we're saying, and conservatives are generally saying, we just want answers.
We want, whether it's to Mark Carney or if Pierre Polyev is getting hit with questions, fair enough.
But we want answers, and we want some intensity of purpose.
We don't see that with the media, mainstream media.
I think for your American listeners, probably comparing the CBC to a rough comparison to your national public radio would be a close comparison.
Massive amounts of money.
And so naturally, and we're all human beings, we're self-interested and we are aware of where our funding and our livelihood comes from.
Most of us tend not to want to really bite hard the hand that feeds us.
That is a calculus that should not be entering into the minds of journalists.
If you're just tuning in, we're talking to Stockwell Day, a distinguished leader of Canada's Conservative Party.
And when we come back, I'm going to ask him how, if Conservatives win the next election, how Canada will respond to Trump's tariffs and the negotiations.
So whatever you do, don't touch that dial.
We'll be right back with our analysis of the upcoming Canadian elections with my guest, Stockwell Day.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
Just step in stone.
This is the stone zone.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
And we're back.
We're talking Canadian politics with Canadian statesman Stockwell Day under Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Stockwell was appointed Minister of Public Safety, where he was responsible for the National Police Force, Federal Prisons, Border Security, and Security Intelligence.
He went on to serve as Canadian Minister of International Trade, which is why my next question I think is most important.
Should Conservatives win the upcoming election, how do you believe the new government will respond to President Trump's tariff positions and those upcoming negotiations?
You know, great question.
And Pierre Polyev has been very clear that we as Canadians are not happy with the approach that the President is taking.
The history book of trade wars that are successful is a very thin one.
And we feel we are being unduly impacted.
So Pierre Polyev has already articulated some actions that he will take somewhat in a reciprocal way to push back on these.
And that's not to say that everything the U.S. is doing shouldn't be, or all the concerns shouldn't be listened to.
I posted for Mr. Carney and for Mr. Polyev, and having been, as you said, Minister of International Trade and also Minister of Public Safety, which is your equivalent, Roger, to Homeland Security, I have said, listen, come out very strongly and say, yes, we need to, and we can always improve at the borders.
We have great border officers, but let's put more money into our borders.
We are concerned about the fentanyl problem.
So to show that, to assure Americans of that, let's be much more aggressive, put more resources into searching out and hunting down the fentanyl production labs, some of which do exist in Canada.
And let's be very publicly, our public officials, standing up and demanding that China stop the production of the precursors that go into making fentanyl.
China is a surveillance state like none other in the world.
They know where every precursor lab in their own country is.
They could shut it down.
So let's be really aggressive on those type of things.
Let's be really aggressive on serious, criminal offenders who shouldn't be in the country.
Let's show the U.S. that we are concerned about that.
That's the way to do it and to calm some of the concerns.
But going this through the tariff route is not something Canadians are happy with, certainly not something that Pierre Polyev is happy with.
Well, let me say this.
I've known Donald Trump for 50 years.
He is a businessman.
He's a negotiator.
This is about the art of the deal.
I actually don't think he likes tariffs either.
But he does want a level playing field and he wants a reciprocal agreement, reciprocal agreement that's good for both states, both countries.
And I think in Polyev, he will find a willing partner and an agreement can be reached that will be good for the people of both Canada and the people of the United States.
I saw the Mexicans today announce they were dropping their tariffs, and therefore we will drop all of our tariffs against goods coming from Mexico.
So progress can be made.
I think you have the potential for a great partnership that works in conjunction to the betterment of both peoples.
Let me thank our guest, Stockwell Day, a Conservative Party veteran.
Stockwell, I'll see you in church this Sunday.
Thank you so much for joining us here in the Stone Zone.
Potential Great Partnership 00:00:56
Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
