Roger Stone at The Stone Zone ties Epstein’s death to sealed Trump indictments, accusing the Biden DOJ of destroying evidence under Wray while claiming he altered Trump’s 1989 travel plans to prevent a fatal crash. He dismisses Trump-Epstein links but blames Clinton for post-conviction ties, pivoting to a Trump second-term wishlist—border sealing (98% reduction), inflation defeat, and WWIII prevention—while branding Russian collusion the "greatest abuse of power" by Brennan, Comey, and Biden. Stone demands treason charges against Biden’s team, Fauci’s perjury probe, and COVID origins investigations, framing Trump’s 2024 as a fight for America’s "golden age" against leftist figures like AOC and Cuomo, ending with Nixonian defiance.

You are now entering the Stone Zone.
Well, this weekend, I spoke at the Turning Point USA Student Summit in Tampa, Florida.
This is the largest gathering of pro-Liberty college students in the country.
And I spent a lot of time preparing my speech.
I worked on it all week.
But given the tumultuous events of late last week and the entire controversy regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted Florida pedophile who mysteriously died in a New York jail,
and the seemingly conflicting signals about full disclosure regarding him, the scandal surrounding him, and his death, I felt it important to completely rewrite my remarks.
Stayed up late to do it.
And it's really interesting how present I turned out to be.
In those remarks, I said a number of things.
First of all, I recalled that the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, the first anniversary of which was Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, as well as the second attempt in West Palm Beach at the golf club, were not Donald Trump's only two brushes with death.
I recalled that in October of 1989, that I had visited with Donald Trump, that I had called him from Washington asking for an appointment.
I was working for him at the time as a lobbyist, and he reluctantly changed his schedule.
He was scheduled to fly to Atlantic City, New Jersey with all of his top casino executives.
He decided to send the plane down ahead, to the helicopter down ahead, and have it come back and get him so that he could squeeze me in.
I tell this shocking story as the helicopter crashed into the Garden State Parkway and everybody involved was killed.
I also pointed out that the best way to fully expose Jeffrey Epstein was for the president to tell Attorney General Pam Bondi to instruct the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to unseal all of the grand jury testimony in the two Trump administration DOJ indictments of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019.
He was charged with committing child sex trafficking and conspiracy to engage in child sex trafficking.
And unsealing those documents as well as the search warrants involved in the search on his home in New York and on his island would tell us everything we need to know.
Now it appears that that is all about to happen.
I had a number of other comments that turn out to be present.
I said, for example, Dr. Anthony Fauci should be charged with a crime.
I think at a minimum lying to Congress.
And in that way, he will say, well, I have a preemptive pardon.
And the Autopen signature on his pardon can be tested in the courts.
Between Sunday and today, we learned definitively now that Joe Biden did not explicitly approve a pardon for Dr. Fauci.
It appears that that is going to happen.
I also called for a special counsel to be appointed to study the 2022 election.
There's a lot more here.
Since I think, in all honesty, this is one of the best speeches I've ever given, I've decided to play it in its entirety today in the Stone Zone.
And I'm going to be talking about it as we go along.
Here we go, folks.
Here is my speech at Turning Point USA in Tampa.
Thank you.
This time, I really can't wait to hear what I have to say.
Because I was targeted for destruction in the Russian collusion hoax, even though I had done nothing wrong.
It is only through the grace of God that I'm with you today, and I stand before you as living proof that Jesus Christ can do anything.
I am grateful to my friend Charlie Kirk for inviting me to speak with you today, and I commend Turning Point USA for building a virtual army of young Americans ready to fight for this country.
One year ago today, President Donald Trump, then candidate Donald Trump, survived a brush with death.
Several weeks later, at a West Palm Beach golf course, he survived another brush with death.
But people don't know that there was a third brush with death.
Let me read to you from a column by the syndicated columnists Evans and Novak from October 10, 1989.
Veteran Republican political consultant may have been responsible for saving his client, Donald Trump, from dying in the crash of the billionaire dealmaker's helicopter.
Stone had asked for an appointment with Trump that afternoon to discuss several pressing matters of business.
Impossible, Stone was told, because Trump had to fly that afternoon to Atlantic City on casino business.
But when Stone persisted, Trump finally agreed to see him, saying that he would send his top aides to New Jersey on the helicopter and then have the helicopter return to New York to pick him up and take him down to Atlantic City.
Stone and Trump had barely sat down to begin their conversation when they were interrupted with the horrifying news.
The helicopter, which had been rented because the Trump helicopter was being serviced, had crashed into the Garden State Parkway, sending all five passengers, including Trump's three top executives, to their death.
Trump was devastated, but he then called every one of the widows so that they would hear from him rather than on television or radio that their husbands had perished.
I have never said and I will never say that I saved Donald Trump's life.
I was merely an instrument of the Lord and I knew at that moment I knew at that moment that his life had been preserved as it was in Butler for some larger purpose.
I recognized in 1988 that he had the size, I don't mean the physical size, but I mean the stature, the stamina, the courage, the independence, the persistence to be not just a great candidate for president, but to be a truly great president.
I myself, as I think many of you, am unsatisfied with the answers we have received regarding the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I am not certain that Thomas Matthew Crookes is indeed the shooter.
I am not certain that he acted alone.
And I find the missteps of the Secret Service in coordination with the state and local police unacceptable and unexplainable.
And therefore I say it is time for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the two attempts on President Donald Trump's life.
And while he's at it, I recommend a special prosecutor or at least a new investigation into the attempted assassination on President Ronald Reagan.
As the government has never provided for us a final report regarding that near tragic day.
Now, let me say a few words about Jeffrey Epstein.
I am probably the second author in the United States to write extensively about Jeffrey Epstein.
In my 2015 book, The Clintons' War on Women, the longest chapter in the book, chapter seven, entitled Orgy Island, stealing that from my friend Sean Hannity, I outline the story of Jeffrey Epstein.
I outline the names of a number of his victims.
And I also demonstrate that claims on the left that Donald Trump had some untoward or inappropriate connection to Epstein is categorically false.
In fact, Donald Trump cut Jeffrey Epstein off entirely prior to Epstein being exposed as a sex predator and being charged with sex crimes in the state of Florida.
He banished him from all Trump properties and his life.
It is also true that Bill and Hillary Clinton continued to socialize with Epstein after his conviction on sex crimes in Florida, continued to take millions of dollars in contributions from him, and both Bill and Hillary Clinton visited Epstein's island.
The solution to this issue, because I too favor full disclosure and I want to know everything about this case, is for President Trump to direct his Attorney General to direct the interim U.S.
Attorney for the Southern District of New York to move to unseal all of the grand jury testimony that was presented when the Trump administration charged Jeffrey Epstein with child sex trafficking and conspiracy to conduct child sex Trafficking.
And while they're at it, they should unseal the search warrants for his island as well as his palatial home in Manhattan, which are sealed at the request or the motion of Prosecutor Maureen Comey.
Everything you want to know is in those documents.
It is the Trump administration, not the Biden administration, certainly not the Obama administration, that moved in federal court to bring Jeffrey Epstein to justice.
When Kash Patel, our FBI director, tells us that there are no records, even though we know and we saw with our own eyes that DVDs and hard drives were taken from Epstein's home in both New York.
his ranch in New Mexico, and his island, he's telling us the truth.
That's because I believe that evidence was destroyed by Christopher Wray and the Biden Justice Department.
To those who say that this issue regarding a man who's dead, and thank God, can no longer torture and exploit young people for the amusement of elites.
but to those who say we will lose 30 to 40 seats in the 2026 election, I say don't be a pannikin.

Rural Americans deserve access to the best our nation has to offer, especially when it comes to 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 health.
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.

And we're back in the Stone Zone and we return to my speech at Turning Point USA Student Summit in Tampa, Florida.
I had an interview yesterday with a mainstream media outlet.
And they said, how would you grade President Donald Trump so far in his second term?
And I said, well, he has sealed the border.
Illegal border crossings are down by 98%.
And he has stopped the migrant invasion of America.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said, he is carrying out the single greatest deportation operation of dangerous illegal immigrants in the history of the country.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said he has ended inflation and made America affordable again.
And he said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said he has made America the dominant energy producer in the world again by far.
And he said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said he has stopped the outsourcing of our jobs and turned the United States into a manufacturing superpower again.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said he has delivered the largest tax cut in American history for the American people across the board tax cut, including no tax on tips.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
I said he is defending our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our fundamental freedoms, and most importantly, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, and our right to keep and bear arms.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
He is preventing World War III.
He is restoring peace in Europe.
He works hard every day to do that.
Instead of pursuing an endless war and regime change and boots on the ground, instead of following the neon neocon policies of George H.W. and George W. Bush, he decided to make a surgical strike to destroy the nuclear weapons development capability of Iran.
And he withdrew, and not a single American military officer lost their life.
And the reporter said, yeah, what about Epstein?
He is building the Golden Dome.
This is the strategic defense initiative that will protect this nation from incoming ICBS.

The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Welcome back to the Stone Zone.
I can't even begin to tell you how encouraging it is to go to a conference with, I think there were 7,000 people there at the peak, 7,000 young, common sense-oriented, pro-freedom, pro-liberty college students.
I posed for many selfies.
I did a substantial number of podcasts for some of the smaller entrepreneurial podcasters.
It really was an amazing conference, and it gives you great hope and faith in the future of the country.
And I had the opportunity to discuss all of the outstanding issues facing the American people.
But it is also gratifying that I turned out to be right about so many of the events that took place today.
We have very significant developments regarding the Russian collusion hoax.
This is the largest abuse of power in American history.
This is a plot that was hatched in the Oval Office.
And now the perps in this particular scandal, which dwarfs Watergate, John Brennan, James Comey, Joe Biden as vice president, they're all being exposed.
The FBI has announced an investigation into James Comey and John Brennan.
And I'm really beginning to become optimistic about the fact that justice is going to be served.
I think that will happen very soon, as a matter of fact.
So we're going to go back to my remarks here in a moment in Tampa, Florida, and then watch the news over the next couple of days, and you will see how present I was about events.
This is particularly encouraging to see all these young conservatives at a time when the Democrat Party has shifted not to the left, but to the extreme left.
That people like Zorayan Mamdami, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett are the new face of the Democrat Party.
And therefore, the juxtaposition, I think, is going to be very, very great.
People, there were a lot of questions about the New York City mayor's race.
I was very candid about what I saw as the shortcomings of Eric Adams, who, interestingly enough, the same night that I was there, he was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, my hometown now, speaking to a young Republican group.
I believe, regardless of what happens, he's going to run fourth in the race for mayor.
I also saw that Andrew Cuomo, in a very clever gambit, said that any of the three candidates who are running against Amiam Dhani should drop out if they're not leading in the polls by mid-September.
All this tells me is that Cuomo understands that his name ID is going to put him in the poll position.
But as long as the opposition to the radical Muslim Democrat remains split between three candidates, the chances of defeating him, I think, continue to be slim.
This I do know, Curtis Leewell will not withdraw as a candidate.
And why should he?
He is the candidate of the party of Lincoln, the Republican Party, a nomination that he won.
All right, let's return to my speech at Turning Point USA.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
He has stopped the migrant crime epidemic.
He is demolishing the foreign drug cartels.
He is crushing gang violence, and he is locking up violent offenders.
And the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
He has strengthened and moderned our military, making it the most, without question, the strongest, most lethal, and powerful in the world under the leadership of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
And the reporter said, yeah, what about Epstein?
He has kept the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, and the dollar today is stronger than it has ever been.
And of course, the reporter said, yeah, but what about Epstein?
He is fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare to make sure that illegals and those who are not eligible for Medicare are not receiving it.
And in the big, beautiful bill, he guarantees that 88% of those receiving Social Security will not pay taxes on those payments.
And of course, the reporter said, yeah, what about Epstein?
He has cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and any other inappropriate sexual or political content on our children.
And of course, the reporter said yet again, what about Epstein?
He has kept men out of women's sports.
And once again, the reporter asked me, yeah, but what about Epstein?
He has deported pro-Hamas radicals and made our college campuses safe and patriotic again.
And of course the reporter said, what about Epstein?
He has moved to secure our elections, including same-day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship.
And you know what the reporter said?
What about Epstein?
Thanks to the efforts of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, he is fighting to make America healthy again.
And once again, I was met with the question, but what about Epstein?
He has released virtually all of the documents of videos and transcripts pertaining to the murder of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963.
But it is only because of the persistence and the courage of Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna that the CIA last week was forced after six decades of denying they had any knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald that they were finally forced to admit that they were tracking him.
They were reading all of his correspondence and they were essentially handling him in the 48 days before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
I think you get the point.
I too want full exposure when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, but I also think it is a mistake to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Donald Trump is leading this country into a golden age.
It will be an unprecedented age of peace, prosperity, security, justice, and law and order.
Last week, the CIA released a special report that informed us more about the greatest single dirty trick in American history,
the abuse of power in which the full authority of the United States government and the incredible capability of our intelligence agencies were used and utilizing two pieces of evidence that they knew were false and fabricated,
the steel dossier and the bogus claim that Russian intelligence hacked the Democrat National Committee and that that information somehow made its way through the Trump campaign to remove a duly elected American president.
This is nothing short of treason.
We learn yet again that admitted communist John Brennan pushed to include the Steele dossier, which he knew was a fraud.
into President Barack Obama's intelligence community assessment in order to use it as the rationale for the movement to launch a crossfire hurricane and to rationalize the Robert Mueller investigation.
It is time.
Well, let me say just a few more words about Mr. Brennan.
He is not only a man who admits to being a communist, that was in a lie detector test, he's also the man who signed four of the visas when he was the station chief in Riyadh for the hijackers who attacked this country on 9-11.
Man Who Spied And Signed Visas00:03:54
He is also the man who spied on a U.S. Senate committee that was investigating his illegal use of torture.
He is also a man who, according to FBI counterterrorism official John Gwandolo, actually converted to radical Islam when he was posted in Riyadh.
And it is absolutely clear now that the House Intelligence Committee, under the terrific leadership of Congressman Rick Crawford, will have a report shortly with the assistance of Tulsi Gabbard and our ODNI that will take an even deeper dive in the rank conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump and his presidency.
I live for the morning that 29 heavily armed FBI agents brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons surround John Brennan's home to arrest him at 6 o'clock in the morning.
And I say it is time to charge Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Director Susan Rice, Assistant FBI Director McCabe, and the greatest rat of them all, Rod Rosenstein, with treason.
At the same time, I laud the president's call for the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine the 2020 elections.
Christopher Wray, the worst FBI director in history, admitted, pardon me, said under oath to Congress that there was no foreign interference in our elections.
But thanks to the work of Kash Patel, we learned only days ago about thousands of fake driver's licenses being sent from China to Chicago for use on Election Day.
I favor the appointment of a special prosecutor, and the man to do this job is Eagle Ed Martin.
We also need a special prosecutor to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 vaccination.
I call on the Attorney General to charge Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress.
And when, in his legal defense, he argues that he cannot be charged because he has a preemptive pardon, the government can finally test the legality of the auto pen in which all of those documents should not be honored.
For those who are prematurely concerned about the 2026 election, I say to you, the average American is more concerned about the cost of a gallon of gasoline or a dozen eggs the availability of affordable housing, or whether they can walk in their neighborhood at night without fear of being mugged by an illegal immigrant gang member.
Donald Trump was not supposed to win in 2024.
Donald Trump's Resilience00:06:15
They said it was impossible.
He beat efforts to bankrupt him.
He beat efforts to keep him off the ballot in all 50 states.
They tried to jail him.
But it is only because of his persistence and his courage and his stamina that we are on the cusp of the greatest period in American political history.
Tulsi Gabbard probably said it best yesterday.
By the way, in case you didn't know, she is going to be the first woman president.
It may not be in 2028, but it will come to pass.
And as she said, as we forge together, I encourage you to stand strong, be joyful warriors, and always remember, with God, all things are possible.
If you're just tuning in, you're in the Stone Zone with me, Roger Stone.
In just a minute, we'll be back with the conclusion of my speech to Turning Point USA this weekend in Tampa, Florida.

The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
I do have a tattoo of Richard Nixon on my back.
It's about the size of a grapefruit.
It floats between my shoulder blades.
To me, it's not a political statement.
It is a daily reminder that in life, when things do not go your way, when you suffer defeats and setbacks, when you're disappointed and you're discouraged and things look dark for you, that is the time that you have to get up off the mat and get back in the fight.
See, the story of Richard Nixon is an American story.
It's a story of persistence and resilience.
And it is a lesson for each one of us.
Nixon said, We are not a nation of quitters.
We are a nation of fighters, fighters for freedom, fighters for justice, fighters for a better life for all.
The patriotism of our young people is not in shouting slogans, he said, but in our quiet determination to build a better America for tomorrow.
I believe in Donald Trump.
I believe he is the only man with the courage and the stamina and the resolve to turn around an ocean liner to head this country to that golden age that I spoke of.
I am as committed to exposure on Jeffrey Epstein as you are, but let's not lose sight of the most successful presidency in American history, and we're not even in to the first year.
I leave you with a quote from my favorite president, who said, It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man or woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs but comes up short again and again.
Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself or herself in a worthy cause, who at the best, at the end, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
This I can tell you: in the fight for America, in the fight for our Constitution, in the fight for prosperity, in the fight for peace, neither Donald J. Trump nor Roger Stone will ever quit.
God bless you.
