=== Jeffrey Epstein's Sealed Files (14:22) ===

[00:00:00]  Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our country has to offer, especially health care.
[00:00:05]  Across every state, every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
[00:00:14]  No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
[00:00:18]  They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
[00:00:23]  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.
[00:00:35]  Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
[00:00:42]  Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
[00:00:45]  They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
[00:00:48]  But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
[00:00:52]  Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
[00:00:56]  Don't cut rural health care.
[00:01:00]  The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:01:06]  You are now entering the stone zone.
[00:01:09]  Well, the controversy and furor over the sexual predator and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein continued for its second day.
[00:01:22]  Yesterday, the Department of Justice and the FBI announced that Epstein never had a client list, never engaged in child sex trafficking.
[00:01:33]  There was no evidence that he was blackmailing anyone, and they insisted that he killed himself.
[00:01:40]  I think the point that people are missing here is that there are sealed indictments and also the sealed search warrants sealed by the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York in the federal court in that district, because Jeffrey Epstein was indicted on July 8th, 2019 on two counts.
[00:02:04]  One was a count of trafficking of sex minors.
[00:02:07]  That's a violation of 18 U.S. Code 1591.
[00:02:13]  They said that Epstein knowingly engaged in sex trafficking by recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, and maintaining minors, some as young as 14 years old, to engage in commercial sexual acts.
[00:02:27]  They said the location where both of these crimes were both his Manhattan townhouse and his Palm Beach estate.
[00:02:36]  And they said that these crimes took place between 2002 and 2005.
[00:02:41]  He was also indicted on a second count, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.
[00:02:48]  That's a violation of 18 U.S. Code 371.
[00:02:52]  The allegation was that Epstein conspired with others, I think that was key, to commit sex trafficking by setting up a network that facilitated the sexual exploitation of underage girls.
[00:03:05]  The takeaways, I think, are pretty clear that he operated a vast network.
[00:03:10]  That was the government's word.
[00:03:13]  That he was enticing and utilizing minors.
[00:03:17]  And we know, because we have eyes, that when he was arrested, the FBI removed not only hard drives, but also DVDs from his home in Manhattan, which,
[00:03:32]  by the way, is the single most expensive single-family residential property in Manhattan, his island, Orgy Island, in the Virgin Islands, as my friend Sean Hannity calls it, his ranch in New Mexico, and his apartment in Paris.
[00:03:51]  So clearly, he was indicted on the basis of information that is now sealed, which means the FBI and the DOJ do have evidence that he engaged in all of those activities.
[00:04:04]  The announcement yesterday, of course, contradicts directly a statement made by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who told Fox News earlier this year that the Epstein client list had been sitting on her desk waiting for review as part of a directive from President Trump.
[00:04:19]  Now suddenly that list suddenly does not exist.
[00:04:23]  The whole thing is very strange, to put it mildly.
[00:04:27]  Whether or not there was a list is pretty easily debunked when they say no, because the Gateway pundit tried to intervene in the lawsuit of Virginia Giuffray versus Ghislaine Maxwell, demanding that the court unseal the records as to Epstein's elite pedo network until a mysterious John Doe appeared and filed an objection in that case,
[00:04:54]  and the federal courts in the Southern District of New York elected to leave the list sealed.
[00:05:02]  If there was no list, how could they have made such a ruling?
[00:05:07]  Then you come to the question of whether Epstein killed himself.
[00:05:10]  New York medical examiner Michael Badden, probably, Dr. Badden, probably one of the most respected pathologists in the country, at the request of Epstein's family examined his body and said that the injuries he sustained were not consistent with his being hung.
[00:05:29]  Now, what's going on here?
[00:05:31]  I think it is pretty easily explained.
[00:05:34]  Back when Epstein was first charged in Florida with a sex crime, the police chief of Palm Beach did a six-month undercover investigation, and he turned over to the state's attorney a case in which Epstein had sex trafficked 33 underage girls.
[00:05:54]  He also was charged with statutory rape, or could have been.
[00:05:58]  There was sufficient evidence to bring a case for both of those violations.
[00:06:05]  The police chief was shocked when the state's attorney turned around and charged Epstein with one count of solicitation.
[00:06:16]  That's like walking into a bar and trying to pick up a hooker.
[00:06:20]  And he was extremely suspicious that the state's attorney for Palm Beach County had either been intimidated or paid off.
[00:06:29]  Interestingly enough, after Epstein pled to that one minor count, which was like a slap on the wrist, the state's attorney left that office, opened a private law firm, hung his shingle, and immediately began representing a number of Epstein's associates in their defense.
[00:06:48]  But the police chief, Michael Ryder, went to the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, that would be Alexander Acosta, and said that there was something wrong here, that he had turned over an airtight case for sex trafficking and statutory rape, and that the state prosecutor had reduced the charges to a slap on the wrist.
[00:07:12]  Acosta conducted his own independent investigation, whereupon he simply rubber stamped the state charges and he put a federal seal on the entire case.
[00:07:24]  It is only because the Palm Beach Post engaged in a multi-year legal battle to get this information unsealed that we know that Epstein was ultimately sentenced to 18 months, of which he only spent 15 months.
[00:07:39]  But unlike every other sex criminal in the state of Florida, he was allowed to serve his sentence in the air-conditioned Palm Beach County jail rather than in a state penitentiary.
[00:07:52]  Years later, when Acosta was appointed Secretary of Labor in the first Trump administration, he was asked in preparation for his confirmation hearings, what he would say about why he essentially gave Jeffrey Epstein a slap on the wrist.
[00:08:14]  My source tells me that he said, I will simply tell the truth, that I was contacted by the CIA who said that he was one of ours, and I was to rubber stamp the state charge and seal the case.
[00:08:27]  So my belief here is that Jeffrey Epstein was working for the Central Intelligence Agency, but I also believe that he was a blackmailer for hire, that he was most likely working for a number of other nations, such as Israel, the Saudis.
[00:08:44]  Who knows?
[00:08:45]  But we do know that there was enormous pressure on our government from the British royal family and therefore the British government to seal this entire matter.
[00:08:56]  When they say who were his clients, we do know who his clients are.
[00:08:59]  I name a number of them in my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women.
[00:09:04]  They include former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell of Maine.
[00:09:09]  They include former Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico.
[00:09:14]  They include former President Bill Clinton.
[00:09:17]  They include the scientist Stephen Hawkings.
[00:09:20]  They include the former Israeli Prime Minister Elhud Barak.
[00:09:26]  It's all in my book.
[00:09:28]  I don't think they were going to the island for the weather.
[00:09:32]  So I'm perplexed because I know Kash Patel personally and I know him to be a man of great integrity.
[00:09:39]  When he says he doesn't have the evidence, I believe he is telling us the truth.
[00:09:43]  That's because I believe that those DVDs and those hard drives were destroyed by the Biden administration, by the Justice Department and the FBI under Joe Biden, which explains perfectly why he has no evidence.
[00:10:00]  By the way, the FBI does not have the authority to unseal the sealed material in New York.
[00:10:08]  Only the Justice Department can do that, but they can only do it with the approval of the court.
[00:10:14]  So what I would suggest is that Attorney General Bondi direct the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York to move immediately to unseal the search warrants and all of the grand jury material that was presented when Jeffrey Epstein was charged.
[00:10:32]  That would demonstrate that there is, in fact, evidence of substantial crimes by Epstein.
[00:10:38]  Don't know what to make of this videotape that they posted.
[00:10:42]  I watched it several times.
[00:10:44]  It didn't show me much, but now, strangely, it is claimed that there's a minute missing from it.
[00:10:51]  I actually think it may have made the entire situation muddier rather than clearer.
[00:10:58]  That's my immediate take on the Epstein situation.
[00:11:02]  I don't expect this to move out of the news very quickly, only because of the inconsistencies between what the Attorney General Pambondi said several months ago and the stunning claim now that they have no evidence.
[00:11:17]  I did see she tried to explain that today by saying she had the entire matter on her desk, but she also said there were hundreds of hours of videotapes that were, in essence, child pornography.
[00:11:33]  Well, no one suggests that they should be released because, of course, they would reveal the identity of the victims.
[00:11:43]  But anyone watching them, anyone in law enforcement watching them, can identify who the predators were, who it was that were abusing those children.
[00:11:53]  I think the American people have a right to know.
[00:11:56]  We're going to continue to follow this story right here on the Stone Zone.
[00:12:01]  I was the first major author in the United States to break the story in my book, The Clinton's War on Women.
[00:12:11]  But when I pointed out on X that the difference between Donald Trump, who they tried falsely to claim had some inappropriate actions with Epstein, and Steve Bannon was that Bannon visited Jeffrey Epstein in his New York home and in his Paris apartment, both of those reported by the New York Post, when Donald Trump never visited any of those locations.
[00:12:40]  To my surprise, I then saw that Elon Musk tweeted Steve Bannon is on the Epstein list.
[00:12:49]  Well, he said that about a week ago about Donald Trump, then he retracted it because it was false.
[00:12:56]  Technically, of course, we do know that not only did Bannon visit Epstein, but he filmed 15 hours of a documentary with him.
[00:13:05]  And various news sources report that Steve Bannon coached Jeffrey Epstein in preparation for a 60-minutes interview, coaching him how to look more likable.
[00:13:18]  I find that pretty objectionable.
[00:13:20]  So you won't read or hear any of this stuff anyplace, I guess, other than right here in the Stone Zone, where five days a week we bring you the hottest stories in news, politics, history, and we throw in a little style and food while we're at it.
[00:13:40]  Coming up, shocking new news regarding John F. Kennedy's assassination, after six decades, the CIA finally admits that they knew who Lee Harvey Oswald was and they were manipulating him.
[00:13:54]  Doesn't mean he killed JFK, by the way, but we'll break that down when we come back.
[00:13:59]  You're listening to Roger Stone in the Stone Zone on the Red Apple audio networks.
[00:14:05]  And when we come back, not only will we dive into the Kennedy assassination, but we'll also tell you about a new decision by the IRS, which removes the restriction of talking politics in church.
[00:14:20]  You're listening to the Stone Zone.
[00:14:21]  I'm Roger Stone.

=== Cia Admits Manipulating Oswald (15:14) ===

[00:15:34]  The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:15:41]  And we're back in the zone.
[00:15:43]  Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a review directly implicating Obama-era officials such as former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey in promulgating the dubious Steele dossier as a part of the malicious conspiracy to frame President Donald Trump as a Russian agent.
[00:16:06]  In fact, it was pointed out by Miranda Devine of the New York Post that John Brennan has a serious perjury problem in his hands because Brennan's sworn statements to federal investigators seem to contradict his written orders regarding the genesis of Russia Gate.
[00:16:23]  But wait, there's more.
[00:16:25]  See, we've argued here in the Stone Zone that Brennan is just the low-hanging fruit who the Trump administration should consider going after immediately in order to gain the momentum and effort to get all of the deep state criminals behind bars.
[00:16:42]  But while Ratcliffe's report on RussiaGate certainly confirms the obvious, the influential chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Rick Crawford, came out yesterday and said that Ratcliffe's report is little more than a whitewash that protects the deep state from its true culpability in the crimes against Donald Trump.
[00:17:04]  Crawford appealed directly to President Trump in a letter issuing asking him to declassify additional documents.
[00:17:14]  Why I'm pleased to see the CIA take the first step of acknowledging the political abuse and trade cap problems associated with the 2016 intelligence community assessment.
[00:17:27]  I'm disappointed the agency was permitted to whitewash the full extent of their problems.
[00:17:33]  I write to report to you that this review fails to disclose critical information, offers misleading judgments, and continues to protect the deep state.
[00:17:43]  Congressman Crawford takes offense with the finding of Ratcliffe's report that the Russia Gate conspiracy should not be interpreted as a broader systematic problem with the analytic processes or standards, but more specifically, it was part of a willful conspiracy.
[00:18:00]  Congressman Crawford said it's abysmal that they would put out a memo with half-truths, inaccuracies, and blatant omissions about the full extent of the Russian collusion hoax and the deep state's role.
[00:18:12]  Worse, they released this report while holding the intelligence committee's report on the exact same issue hostage for seven years because it includes classified documents that only the president can declassify.
[00:18:26]  So in other words, CIA Director Ratcliffe's shocking review is more moving along nothing here to see spin from the deep state.
[00:18:36]  We're supposed to believe that only a few bad actors committed the Russia Gate conspiracy and that there was no major wholesale charges, changes to the way the CIA, the FBI, and other deep state alphabet soup organizations in Washington operated.
[00:18:53]  This is dangerously idiotic hogwash.
[00:18:56]  It's trying to get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
[00:19:00]  You're listening to Roger Stone.
[00:19:01]  You're in the Stone Zone on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
[00:19:04]  Wherever you do, folks, stay with us here in the zone.
[00:19:07]  We've got a lot more coming up, including a shocking decision by the IRS that allows people to talk politics in church.
[00:19:16]  The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:19:23]  The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative.
[00:19:26]  On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:19:30]  Welcome back into the zone.
[00:19:32]  After an extraordinary tug of war between the House Oversight Committee, specifically the subcommittee headed by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, examining the material released from the National Archives regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the CIA finally admitted that one of the agency's top psychological warfare experts had extensive contact with Lee Harvey Oswald in the months leading up to Kennedy's assassination.
[00:20:02]  This is significant because the FBI and the CIA have long denied knowledge of Oswald prior to the assassination.
[00:20:10]  So now it seems to me would be a good time to revisit the 194-page dossier compiled by the CIA about Lee Harvey Oswald before he allegedly killed JFK.
[00:20:21]  Researcher Jeff Morley put together a tremendous analysis on this report.
[00:20:25]  In fact, we're going to have him in the zone here later in the week.
[00:20:29]  The Oswald file had many interesting revelations, but the most important one was that a secretive CIA front group known as the Special Investigations Group received 17 reports about Oswald in the four years before Kennedy was assassinated, including five FBI dispatches in the three months just before Kennedy was killed.
[00:20:52]  At least 35 CIA employees handled dozens of reports on Oswald between 1959 and 1963, including a half-dozen officers who reported personally to CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton or to CIA Deputy Director Richard Helms.
[00:21:14]  Additionally, CIA Operations Officer Ruben Efron was tasked with monitoring Oswald's private communications during the first 18 months of Kennedy's presidency.
[00:21:25]  Efron reported directly to James Jesus Angleton, the CIA's counterintelligence chief, about his monitoring of Oswald.
[00:21:36]  So Oswald clearly far more important to the CIA than they have ever previously admitted.
[00:21:42]  He was very much on their radar, despite the fact that they have denied that for six decades, and he was being very carefully watched.
[00:21:50]  Now, CIA director at the time, John McCone, lied to the Warren Commission under oath, claiming that the agency never contacted Oswald, never interviewed him, or never received or solicited any reports or information from Oswald or about Oswald.
[00:22:08]  Deputy Director Richard Helms, who would later become the director of the FBI, also lied, claiming that the CIA had, quote, very little information, close quote, about Oswald before the Kennedy assassination when they knew every granular detail about Oswald, such as his height, eye color, precise whereabouts, his alleged communist recruitment activity, his alleged contact with the KGB, his wife beating, his security clearance,
[00:22:38]  his trip to the American consulate in Mexico City, and so forth.
[00:22:45]  The CIA lies obviously tainted the Warren Commission's findings and prevented a real investigation into Kennedy's assassination from taking place.
[00:22:54]  More information in the Kennedy assassination desperately needs to be released to the public.
[00:22:59]  For example, the House Select Committee on Assassinations that was formed in the late 70s conducted a full investigation, but they reached the conclusion that organized crime was behind John F. Kennedy's assassination.
[00:23:15]  Well, they're not wrong about organized crime being involved in it, but none of the information released from the National Archives to date in response to President Trump's order for full disclosure includes the involvement of the mob,
[00:23:32]  specifically the recordings of Carlos Marcelo, the mobster who ran the mafia in both Texas and Louisiana, recordings taken in his jail cell both before and after the Kennedy assassination, in which it is alleged by the Assassinations Review Board and the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he knew in advance and bragged later about Kennedy's assassination.
[00:23:59]  None of that information has been released to the public in this most recent list of documents or audios or videos that should have been released.
[00:24:12]  The first round of the JFK files released by the Trump administration were a great start, but we need to see the entire tranche of related documents to understand the depths of the CIA's crimes against the American people.
[00:24:26]  One of the great struggles has been over the George Johannites material.
[00:24:32]  Joe Anites was the CIA operative who we now know due to this disclosure operated under an alias and had a false driver's license under the name Howard Gebler.
[00:24:48]  This contradicts decades of denials from the CIA that Joe Annides was in fact Howard Gebler.
[00:24:55]  It was under this alias that Joe Annides worked with anti-communist activists called the Cuban Student Directorate.
[00:25:04]  The CIA has long denied that they set that front up too, which now, according to this disclosure, proves to be yet another lie.
[00:25:12]  Joe Annides served as the deputy chief of the CIA's Miami branch, where he was a specialist in psychological warfare.
[00:25:20]  Joe Annides' anti-communist front had significant contact with Oswald with those activists getting into a public scuffle with Oswald and his crew.
[00:25:32]  His crew, by the way, did include Raphael Angel Cruz, father of Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
[00:25:41]  You can see those photos in the Warren Commission report, and Judith Very Baker, longtime mistress to Lee Harvey Oswald, has confirmed that Angel Cruz, as he was known at the time, was well known to them.
[00:25:54]  The purpose of that scuffle, of course, was to position Oswald for being set up later as a Patsy by making him appear to be a communist.
[00:26:05]  What's interesting, of course, is that the address that appeared on the pro-Castro leaflets that Oswald was handing out in the streets of New Orleans was the office address of an FBI operative and informant named Guy Bannister.
[00:26:22]  So there is substantial evidence that Oswald was being manipulated.
[00:26:29]  And interestingly enough, when he was arrested by the New Orleans police, this was just prior to a television debate he was to appear on, he was allowed one phone call.
[00:26:43]  Who did he call?
[00:26:44]  Did he call his wife?
[00:26:45]  Did he call his lawyer?
[00:26:47]  No, he called the head of the local office of the FBI, and within an hour, he was released.
[00:26:55]  There's so much more to know about this, but huge credit goes to Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, also to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, because they have stayed on this story and they got a 60-day extension.
[00:27:13]  Coming up, of course, will be the hearings on the brutal assassination of New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
[00:27:20]  And once again, there, the government's claim and the reality do not match.
[00:27:26]  Sirhan Sirhan, the man who was convicted of trying to kill Kennedy, got off four shots initially.
[00:27:35]  All four of those shots are accounted for.
[00:27:38]  None of them hit Senator Kennedy.
[00:27:40]  Then after Rafer Johnson and Rosie Greer, two prominent athletes, wrestled Sirhan to the ground but could not get the gun out of his hand.
[00:27:51]  He got off another eight shots, which fortunately did not hit anyone.
[00:27:57]  The problem, of course, here is that according to the Los Angeles County coroner, Thomas Noguchi, one of the best known and most respected pathologists in the country, Senator Robert Kennedy was killed by two point-blank shots from the rear at the rear base of his skull.
[00:28:17]  Therefore, it would be impossible for Sirhan Sirhan to be the shooter.
[00:28:23]  I believe that the actual assassin is Eugene Cesar Thane, who was a Filipino who got his position as a security guard in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles a week before the Kennedy assassination and resigned and returned to his home in the Philippines immediately after the assassination.
[00:28:48]  I'm hoping, since I know having seen a terrific interview that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did on this topic, that Secretary Kennedy will be called as a witness before the House committee when they get to the phase of their investigation in which they examine the murder of Senator Robert Kennedy.
[00:29:13]  The other great unanswered question revolves around someone known as the Polka Dot Lady.
[00:29:18]  That is a woman wearing a polka dot dress who was seen running from the hotel shouting, we got him, we got him.
[00:29:29]  That woman has never been identified, although there are reports that she lives openly in Tarzana, California.

=== Churches Freed for Political Advocacy (03:07) ===

[00:29:36]  I believe the House committee is trying to track her down and get her name so they can give her a subpoena to find out what she was doing that day.
[00:29:46]  This is big news.
[00:29:48]  All right, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has announced that they will no longer be enforcing a long-standing rule that put restrictions on churches that stopped them from endorsing political candidates in their churches.
[00:30:01]  In other words, a pastor could not urge his flock to support or not support a particular candidate.
[00:30:09]  Doing so would threaten their tax-free status.
[00:30:13]  The IRS stated in a court filing that political activity by churches would no longer be restricted.
[00:30:19]  See, this rule came as the result of a lawsuit filed on behalf of two Texas churches and a group of Christian broadcasters arguing that the Johnson rule, that's the rule that limited churches, is an infringement on their free speech rights.
[00:30:34]  So it was Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson who, as the Senate majority leader, put this law into place.
[00:30:41]  Why?
[00:30:41]  Well, because he didn't want pastors in Texas preaching about his illegal shenanigans with Billy Salestis, Bobby Baker, and numerous other incredible scandals tied to the later vice president and president.
[00:30:59]  The Johnson Amendment bans nonprofits from participating in political campaigning because many churches are designated as 501c3 nonprofits.
[00:31:09]  They have been coerced under the so-called Johnson Amendment to curtail their ability to talk about politics.
[00:31:16]  I agree, this is an obvious infringement of their First Amendment rights, and it helps, frankly, those politicians who don't want their records talked about.
[00:31:27]  It's abundantly clear which party is more in line with Christian values, although the Republican Party is very far from perfect, and it has its share of subverters and other scumbags.
[00:31:39]  It is the Democrats who represent the party of abortion, transgender, gentle mutilation, lettling violent throats, ransack cities, cashless bail, enabling human trafficking on our border, corrupting the innocent, and allowing evil to rent all levels of our society.
[00:32:00]  So, the Democrat Party is probably quite upset about this ruling.
[00:32:06]  When I call them demons, I get criticized, but candidly, that's exactly what they are.
[00:32:13]  With the churches now freed up for political recruitment, advocacy, and organizing, it will mean that Christians can be more effective at pursuing their agenda within the Republican Party and within the nation.
[00:32:26]  This means that they will be held more steadfastly to their principles and their party platform.
[00:32:31]  I think the repeal of the Johnson Amendment is great news for anyone who cares about free speech and anyone who cares about keeping America a just and decent nation for future generations.

=== Election Ballot Anomalies (06:29) ===

[00:32:44]  When we come back, we're going to talk about the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
[00:32:49]  She's ordering her new director's initiative group, or DIG, to revisit all of the Biden-era scandals that were swept under the rug, including both election fraud and massive payments that were documented by the House Oversight Committee from foreign governments and companies when Joe Biden was both vice president and president.
[00:33:15]  Tulsi Gabbard is a bulldog, former four-term congresswoman from Hawaii.
[00:33:21]  She's still a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and also a combat veteran who served our country with honor in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
[00:33:31]  And she is now on the case.
[00:33:34]  In the meantime, you're tuned into the Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
[00:33:40]  We'll be back with more political news on the other side.
[00:33:44]  We appreciate your joining us every day.
[00:33:46]  We try to bring you the hottest news stories on the political scene and my unique spin on them based on five decades in the arena.
[00:33:56]  So, whatever you do, don't touch that dial.
[00:33:58]  We'll be right back with more of the Stone Zone.
[00:34:01]  This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
[00:34:05]  The Stone Zone.
[00:34:15]  On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:34:20]  The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
[00:34:28]  And we're back in the zone.
[00:34:30]  So, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will now be examining vulnerabilities in both the 2020 and 2022 elections, along with the Russian collusion hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Biden regime's classification of its political opponents as domestic terrorists, and a multitude of other issues.
[00:34:52]  A spokesperson for Gabbard's agency said this is a broken system that cannot be fixed without transparency into what we did wrong in our past.
[00:35:04]  In view of the criticism of the report released by CIA Director John Ratcliffe that we spoke about earlier as being shallow and hiding more than it reveals, I welcome this review by Tulsi Gabbard.
[00:35:19]  The 2020 presidential election, in my view, is a crime unlike any other in our history.
[00:35:24]  For those who may have forgotten, President Donald Trump was leading the election into the deep hours election night when the vote was suspiciously paused in a coordinated fashion throughout the country.
[00:35:35]  How did that happen?
[00:35:37]  Perhaps Tulsi Gabbard will be able to tell us that.
[00:35:41]  When the counting resumed, the vans showed up with bags and bags of ballots.
[00:35:45]  We've seen those videos.
[00:35:47]  Anomalies occurred with the ballots that were against all reasonable statistical probability.
[00:35:53]  We've all seen the graphs where the line goes straight up and the ballot dumps come in.
[00:35:58]  So 99% of those late paper ballots happened to be for Joe Biden.
[00:36:04]  Unlikely.
[00:36:05]  When election challengers noted that the Biden ballot dumps were not crinkled in the slightest and the signature verification did not match, they were shouted down by gangs of thugs.
[00:36:16]  I saw it in Detroit myself.
[00:36:18]  There were in several cases they were actually hauled off the voting floor and deprived of their rights to observe.
[00:36:24]  Detroit, I think, was the best.
[00:36:26]  They even put up a cardboard box on the window so they could avoid transparency while the heist was being perpetrated.
[00:36:33]  The Democrat Gestapo was in full effect, exploiting the COVID-19 crisis to stack the deck with limitless, unaccountable absentee and mail-in ballots.
[00:36:43]  Of course, if you said that, you would immediately be called a conspiracy theorist or a kook.
[00:36:50]  No, there is no evidence of irregularities in the 2020 election.
[00:36:54]  That is what we were told.
[00:36:56]  But thanks to social media and frankly, thanks to Elon Musk and Twitter, now known as X, we have seen solid evidence to the contrary.
[00:37:06]  I believe they got away with the crime, at least temporarily.
[00:37:09]  In the dark four-year period following 2020, some of the most brave and outspoken patriots in America have faced massive consequences from lawfare to sanctions to criminal prosecutions.
[00:37:21]  This narrative was created so that Trump supporters, who somehow were objecting, would be prosecuted and silenced.
[00:37:32]  It really was used to warp the entire narrative here in an Orwellian inversion of reality.
[00:37:41]  Many fell for this deception until it became obvious that the country was going off the rails under the vacuous, hapless figurehead, Joe Biden.
[00:37:51]  But because of the political acumen and never say die attitude, the stamina, the courage, the persistence of one Donald J. Trump, we've emerged from those dark times.
[00:38:04]  And in my opinion, Tulsi Gabbard is the perfect person to revisit these issues and to make sure that the record is corrected.
[00:38:11]  And just as importantly, make sure that it never happens again.
[00:38:15]  After Gabbard's investigation is completed, the individuals and the entities responsible for the vote Reagan 2020, if it is proven, must be criminally prosecuted and made into swift examples so that there is no future criminal act of this magnitude regarding our elections.
[00:38:33]  This, to me, there is no higher priority, except perhaps it would be the prosecution of those who perpetrated the Russian collusion hoax.
[00:38:44]  I was happy to see that on Gabbard's list because having read the CIA report from John Radcliffe, I agree with Chairman Rick Crawford of the House Intelligence Committee.
[00:38:55]  It seems sanitized.
[00:38:57]  I know based on my own research from my own book, The Myth of Russian Collusion, that there are a number of things that the CIA seems to have missed.
[00:39:07]  Perhaps it is the most shallow version of the truth.
[00:39:11]  Anyway, that's it for today.

[00:40:08]  Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
[00:40:14]  Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
[00:40:23]  No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
[00:40:26]  They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
[00:40:32]  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.
[00:40:44]  Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
[00:40:53]  Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
[00:40:55]  They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
[00:40:58]  But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
[00:41:01]  Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
