The StoneZONE - Roger Stone - The Stone Zone | 9-3-25 Aired: 2025-09-06 Duration: 40:30 === Alexander Acosta Testimony (14:23) === [00:00:00] Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care. [00:00:06] Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones. [00:00:15] 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. [00:00:36] Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe. [00:00:44] Hospitals are our community's lifelines. [00:00:46] They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy. [00:00:49] But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care. [00:00:53] Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong. [00:00:57] Don't cut rural health care. [00:01:01] The Stone Zone. [00:01:02] Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network. [00:01:08] You are now entering the Stone Zone. [00:01:11] Well, the conventional wisdom holds that Democrat nominee Zoran Mamdami, who I refer to as the Ayatollah, is the odds on favor to become the next mayor of the Big Apple, as long as the opposition is split between former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, now running as an independent, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and current incumbent mayor Eric Adams, also running as an independent. [00:01:40] But the New York Times had a story today that at first blush seems to be big news, but which upon closer examination seems to say nothing at all. [00:01:51] The New York Times reports that people at the highest level of the Trump administration are considering offering Mayor Eric Adams a job in the federal government in return for dropping out of the race. [00:02:06] It further says that they are considering making a similar job offer to Curtis Slewa, the Republican nominee. [00:02:14] First of all, of course, what the New York Times doesn't say is that such an offer would actually technically be illegal. [00:02:22] I can tell you, because I'm in Washington, D.C., and I checked with individuals at the highest level of the Trump administration, that no such offer has been made to Mayor Adams, nor to Curtis Sliwa. [00:02:37] Actually, I reached out to Curtis Sliwa, who released the following statement. [00:02:42] The only job I'm interested in is in being the next mayor of New York City. [00:02:47] I have not been contacted by the White House, and I'm not interested in a job with the White House. [00:02:53] My focus is right here in New York City, as it has always been. [00:02:57] I'm the only candidate on a major party line who can defeat Mayam Donnie, and I'm committed to carrying this fight all the way to Election Day. [00:03:06] The people of New York City deserve a mayor who will finally make the city work for the hardworking people who power it. [00:03:13] This is a distraction from the issues forcing New Yorkers to flee every single day. [00:03:18] It is absolutely misinformation. [00:03:22] And so it is. [00:03:23] You'll notice the story does not say that Eric Adams was offered a job. [00:03:29] Well, then, Politico and their reporter Nick Reisman reported that the Trump administration had offered Eric Adams a job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. [00:03:41] I checked that one out too. [00:03:43] It's also completely incorrect. [00:03:46] Now, Reisman is really not a credible source. [00:03:49] At one point, he actually wrote a story which said that I had been, I had my prison sentence commuted, but when I contacted him, he refused to accurately report that I received a full and unconditional presidential pardon when President Trump put out a statement saying, well, that I had done nothing wrong. [00:04:11] Once again, this is how political rumors start, but you get the stone cold truth right here in the stone zone. [00:04:19] Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal aliens believed to be part of the infamous Venezuelan Trendiagua gang. [00:04:33] Circuit judge Andrew Oldham dissented with the majority ruling stating that, quote, every president of every political party has enjoyed the same broad powers to repel threats to our nation under the Alien Enemies Act throughout previous administrations. [00:04:52] Once again, this ridiculous ruling will likely be appealed and taken all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it will once again be reversed. [00:05:03] Liberal activist judges can only delay the inevitable for so long. [00:05:07] Violent illegal aliens are going to be sent back to where they belong or imprisoned. [00:05:13] The days when liberal special interests like the ACLU can hold our nation hostage are swiftly coming to an end. [00:05:21] Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee controlled by Republicans has released over 33,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that came from the Department of Justice, who was complying with a subpoena with the committee chairman, James Comer. [00:05:38] Comer said that more documents are set to be released after redactions to protect the privacy of some of Epstein's victims. [00:05:47] I say yet again that it was the Trump administration that charged Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 with child sex trafficking and a second charge of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking. [00:06:03] But there is no question that there was a massive cover-up of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes in Florida in 2004 and 5. [00:06:13] Now we're told that Robert Mueller, who was then the FBI director, declines to testify and to answer a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee as to why the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney Albert Acosta and U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, this was during the George W. Bush administration, gave the pedophile a pass. [00:06:40] We do know that the police chief of Palm Beach conducted a six-month undercover investigation into Epstein and turned over to the state's attorney, that's a state official, a state prosecutor for Palm Beach County, a rock-solid case of child sex trafficking involving 33 underage girls. [00:07:02] We also know that he turned over a case involving at least 22 underage girls for statutory rape. [00:07:11] Yet after Epstein hired Alan Dershowitz, Roy Black, Gerald Lefcourt, and other prominent criminal defense attorneys, including Ken Starr, who had been the special counsel on the Whitewater matter, the local prosecutor decided to charge Epstein with one count of solicitation. [00:07:34] That's like walking into a bar and trying to pick up a hooker. [00:07:38] Only when the police chief objected did the state prosecutor bump that charge up to one count of solicitation of a minor, a more serious charge, but not nearly as serious as child sex trafficking. [00:07:53] In any event, Epstein pled guilty between the time that Epstein was charged and the time he pled guilty. [00:08:01] He made a $25,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation. [00:08:06] And then, of course, Epstein ended up fulfilling his term, serving his term, not in the Florida State penitentiaries, which are notoriously harsh, but in the air-conditioned confines of the Palm Beach County jail. [00:08:23] Never been an explanation of that. [00:08:25] At the time, the U.S. attorney, Alberto Acosta, Alexander Acosta, pardon me, was approached by the police chief, Michael Ryder, who complained that the case had either been fixed because the state prosecutor had either been compromised or he had been threatened. [00:08:45] So Acosta conducted his own investigation, whereupon he rubber stamped the state charges and then he sealed the entire matter. [00:08:56] At the time, the U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez was quoted as saying that it was handled in this manner because they didn't want a political circus. [00:09:06] This would lead one to believe that Jeffrey Epstein had certain political connections. [00:09:12] Now, it was announced by Chairman Comer of the House Oversight Committee that former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who later served as the Secretary of Labor in Donald Trump's first term, but was essentially told to resign after news of his involvement in the Epstein case came to light, is going to testify as well for the House Oversight Committee. [00:09:38] It's going to be very exciting testimony because a lawyer who is a friend of mine, a prominent lawyer, someone whose name you would recognize, member of the Federalist Society, was involved in the preparations for Alexander Acosta's confirmation in the U.S. Senate when he was appointed to the position of labor secretary. [00:09:59] And in the practice sessions for that confirmation hearing, when the question was posed, what are you going to say when they ask you about your disposition of the Epstein case? [00:10:12] Acosta reportedly said, well, I'm going to tell the truth, that the Central Intelligence Agency contacted me, told me that he was one of their assets, and that I was to seal the case. [00:10:24] And that is, of course, exactly what he did. [00:10:27] One of the documents released this week shows that nine days before Epstein's death, the Bureau of Prison Assessment of Epstein stated that he did not appear to be an immediate threat to kill himself. [00:10:39] This is but the latest indicator that Epstein was murdered to prevent him from spreading secrets about his elite pedophile sex trafficking operation. [00:10:49] It is interesting that the New York City medical examiner, one of the most respected pathologists in the country, Dr. Michael Badden, was retained by Epstein's family to examine his corpse, and he reported that the injuries sustained by Epstein were not consistent with him hanging himself. [00:11:11] He pointed specifically to three different broken bones in the late pedophile's neck. [00:11:18] Yet another document shows that a judge stopped crucial testimony from Epstein's co-conspirators from ever being heard in court. [00:11:26] This was the evidence in the trial of Epstein's pimp and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. [00:11:34] Now, additionally, Republican Representatives Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, both friends of mine, signed a discharge petition on Tuesday that would compel the full release of the Epstein files, stopping any potential holdups from deep state interlopers who have yet to finally purge those files that have been in the possession of the federal government. [00:11:58] Let me remind you that all of these documents, all of these videos, audios, and other records have been under the control of the Biden administration for the previous four years. [00:12:11] It's clear that transparency is coming and the truth will shatter the Epstein hoax perpetrated by the Democrats who continue to falsely claim that President Trump had anything to do with Epstein's illicit sex network. [00:12:26] The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump barred Jeffrey Epstein from his properties, including his palatial estate, Mar-Lago, in 2005, prior to Epstein ever being exposed in Florida as a sex criminal. [00:12:43] Whereas the Clintons continued to socialize with Epstein, and records show that Epstein provided the seed capital for both the Clinton Foundation as well as the Clinton Global Initiative. [00:12:59] In fact, the nonprofit organization, Terra Mar, that was theoretically an environmental nonprofit, but was in fact a grooming ground for young female interns who could then be assaulted and trafficked by Epstein, and was run by Maxwell, was 100% funded by millions of dollars from the Clinton Foundation. [00:13:26] News comes today that Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Hillary Clinton and Webster Hubble, based on my own research, you can find that in my book, The Clinton's War on Women, is considering running for the House seat of Jerry Nadler. [00:13:43] If he, in fact, runs, all of these questions about her father's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein will be out in the open. [00:13:51] Now, suddenly, we're told that Bill Clinton has serious health problems, probably so serious that he won't be able to testify for the House Oversight Committee. [00:14:02] Hmm, sounds just like the excuse that Robert Mueller suddenly has, that he's too ill to testify. [00:14:08] Seems to be an endemic that's going around. [00:14:11] I'm Roger Stone. [00:14:12] You're listening to the Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks. [00:14:17] This is where you can get the inside skinny on American politics. [00:14:21] Whatever you do, please don't touch that dial. === Endemic Conflicts of Interest (15:50) === [00:14:24] We'll be right back with more hot political news, including the mysterious deaths of the populist conservative candidates running in the upcoming German elections.

[00:14:59] Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network. [00:15:04] You are now re-entering the Stone Gum. [00:15:08] A wave of mysterious deaths have sent German elections into chaos as the populist conservative alternative for Germany's party has now lost seven of their candidates. [00:15:20] Party co-leaders Alice Weitel stated in an ex-post that this many deaths of candidates in such a short period of time is statistically almost impossible. [00:15:31] This comes after the Alternative for Germany Party, or AFG, was deemed a right-wing extremist organization by the national police as chatter to ban the party and jail party leaders intensified while the party began to rise sharply in the polls. [00:15:50] As we saw with President Donald Trump, the globalists will do everything and anything they can to stop their enemies. [00:15:57] Evidently, in Germany, that includes murder. [00:16:00] When they could not gail Trump or keep him off the ballot in 2024, there were at least two attempts on his life that came after a series of incomprehensible security lapses and a Pennsylvania rally. [00:16:14] There will be nothing to keep these illicit people in power in America and abroad. [00:16:18] It is highly unlikely that these deaths in Germany were a mere coincidence. [00:16:24] Meanwhile, 600 lawyers will serve as judges to help facilitate deportations of illegal immigrants. [00:16:31] Trump Defense Secretary Pete Henseth has authorized 600 military attorneys in the Department of Justice to serve as immigration judges to expedite the deportation process. [00:16:43] This will effectively double the number of immigration judges that are currently working as many have been fired or been subject to deferred resignations. [00:16:53] This move is meant to quickly remedy the massive backlog of immigration cases, which currently stands at about 3.5 million. [00:17:04] The left is predictably not happy about this news. [00:17:08] American Immigration Lawyers Association Executive Director Ben Johnson said, expecting fair decisions from judges unfamiliar with the law is absurd. [00:17:18] This reckless move guts due process and further undermines the integrity of our immigration court system. [00:17:25] Johnson is not entirely incorrect. [00:17:28] President Trump is taking aim at the system that deliberately allows millions of invaders to make a mockery of the rule of law. [00:17:36] After cutting the fat by getting rid of judges who refuse to do their jobs, they are now replacing them with lawyers who will do the job. [00:17:45] It has been a long time coming, but mass deportations are on the way, as Trump promised during the campaign. [00:17:51] Promises made, promises kept. [00:17:54] By the way, Barack Obama deported 2.6 million illegal immigrants during his presidency. [00:18:02] He also won the Nobel Peace Prize and did so after dropping more bombs and firing off more drones than any president in American history. [00:18:11] Yet they don't want to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump. [00:18:15] Go figure. [00:18:17] I'm Roger Stone. [00:18:18] This is the Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks. [00:18:22] And whatever you do, don't touch that dial. [00:18:24] We'll be right back because the Treasury Secretary says that America is having a housing emergency. [00:18:31] But we're going to talk about the implications of that on the other side. [00:18:40] The Stone Zone. [00:18:42] Entertaining and informative. [00:18:44] On the Red Apple Podcast Network. [00:18:56] Just step in the stone. [00:18:58] This is the Stone Zone. [00:19:01] Now, give us own. [00:19:03] It's the Stone Zone. [00:19:05] Here's Roger Stone. [00:19:08] Welcome back to the Stone Zone. [00:19:10] White House Treasury Secretary Scott Bessie says that the Trump administration is considering declaring a housing emergency in the upcoming months due to the soaring cost of housing. [00:19:22] They hope to make homes more affordable as real estate prices rise and higher mortgage rates price the middle class completely out of the market. [00:19:31] Besent said, We're trying to figure out what we can do. [00:19:34] We don't want to step into the business of states, counties, and municipal governments. [00:19:38] I think everything is on the table. [00:19:41] Of course, we all understand that the fundamental problem is the fact that we have not cut interest rates. [00:19:48] This is kind of hard to understand because the last four times the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, inflation and unemployment, which are the two measures that the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are supposed to take into consideration, were either at the same level or lower than they are today. [00:20:09] So it's abundantly clear that the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, who, by the way, is not an economist or a housing expert, he's an attorney, is playing politics with the nation's housing market and therefore our economy. [00:20:28] Powell continues to say that he doesn't want to cut rates on the American people because he's not sure what the impact will be of President Trump's efforts to make better tariff deals with our various trading partners. [00:20:43] Yet, I think the evidence is very clear what the impact of that is. [00:20:48] Inflation remains historically low. [00:20:50] The dollar remains strong. [00:20:53] Unemployment remains low. [00:20:56] We have a record Dow. [00:20:58] The stock market's doing extraordinarily well. [00:21:00] And all of that is without an interest rate cut. [00:21:04] The shocking truth is that 30% of those who are married and homeowners has crashed by at least 40% in 1990 to about 15% today. [00:21:18] That means only 15% of people in that age bracket are actually buying or attempting to buy a home. [00:21:26] President Trump has inherited this crisis. [00:21:28] He's working very hard to restore the American dream. [00:21:32] One way to do that is by depriving illegal aliens from federal housing assistance programs, which has been one way that prices have been artificially driven higher. [00:21:44] Restoring order in Democrat-run wastelands will also add to the supply of livable homes that Americans will feel safe to live in. [00:21:52] Thank God we have an administration that understands this problem, is taking active measures to solve it rather than speaking in platitudes and sweeping the matter under the rug like establishment Republicans and Democrats have always done in the past. [00:22:07] Continues to amaze me that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker continue to insist that crime in the windy city is not a problem. [00:22:19] When, in fact, over Labor Day weekend, there were 58 shootings, eight deaths. [00:22:25] It is the murder capital of the United States. [00:22:29] Last year, there were 226,000 phone calls through 9-11 that went to the Chicago Police Department and went completely unanswered. [00:22:41] That's because the Chicago Police Department is down by 1,600 officers. [00:22:47] That's because no one will apply for these jobs. [00:22:50] That's because people who would be police officers know that the politicians will not have their back. [00:22:58] So, one way you can improve the housing market in the country is to have safer cities and safer suburbs. [00:23:07] But the most important thing, of course, is a cut in interest rates. [00:23:12] It is most definitely time. [00:23:14] Now, speaking of the Federal Reserve, an independent journalist from Michigan recently traveled to one of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Page's, Lisa Cook's properties and found, well, surprise, surprise, it's not her primary legal residence as she claimed. [00:23:34] Journalist Charlie Ladoff of the Michigan Enjoyer did some good old-fashioned shoe leather reporting going up to the Ann Arbor, Michigan property and knocking on the door in a video that he posted on YouTube. [00:23:47] While at the door, he talked with some very uncomfortable people who confirmed that they were renting the property and they were not the owners of the home. [00:23:56] Thanks to the head of the Federal Housing and Finance Agency, Bill Potty, we now know that the Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook claimed that the home in Ann Arbor, Michigan was her principal, primary legal residence, even though she doesn't live there. [00:24:15] We also learned that two weeks later, she got a mortgage on a property outside of Atlanta, where she also claimed it was her principal, primary legal residence. [00:24:29] Now, you don't have to be a genius to understand that you can't have two principal, primary legal residents. [00:24:35] Why would she do this? [00:24:36] Well, the answer is obvious. [00:24:37] In both states, she enjoyed a state tax reduction because she claimed it to be her principal residence. [00:24:44] She also got a lower mortgage rate and a lower insurance rate. [00:24:50] So it is very clear that Lisa Cook has engaged, at least in those two instances, alone, in mortgage fraud. [00:24:58] In addition, however, we've now learned, thanks to the fraud investigator, that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two primary mortgage lenders in the United States, both of them headed by William Potey, the head of the Federal Housing and Finance Agency, that she also had a bank loan on a secondary home in Massachusetts, which at some point she also claimed as her primary, [00:25:28] principal legal residence, but at other times claimed was an investment property. [00:25:33] This is significant because the two have very different tax treatments. [00:25:38] The Trump administration has found evidence that she's renting out that Atlanta home as well. [00:25:44] So the truth is each of these mortgages were taken out in 2021 just within a couple months of each other. [00:25:50] Apparently, Lisa Crook, I mean, Cook, never dreamed that she would be investigated for what appears to be a pattern of mortgage fraud. [00:25:59] After all, she was the first black woman appointed to be a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. [00:26:06] Perhaps she thought that the DEI policies of the Biden administration would protect her. [00:26:13] This made her among the highest on the woke totem pole as she was celebrated by the Biden regime as a champion of the merits of diversity. [00:26:23] But unfortunately for Lisa Cook, this facade is crumbling and reality is setting in. [00:26:30] She's been exposed to the fraudster as the Trump administration peers into the records of those who previously thought to be untouchable. [00:26:38] Cook has been fired by President Trump as a board member of the Federal Reserve, and despite her delusional lawsuit that she seeks to overturn in dismissal, I don't believe she'll be returning to that position. [00:26:54] What's disturbing, however, is the fact that when she filed the lawsuit, the clerk of the DC courts, Angela Cesar, assigned the case to Judge Gia Cobb. [00:27:09] That's unusual because Judge Gia Cobb and Lisa Cook are both members of the same Black Women's College sorority. [00:27:21] A very clear conflict of interest. [00:27:24] Now, Kirk Cesar would have us believe that this assignment of the case was done by random draw, the spin of a wheel, but so far she's produced no evidence to that effect. [00:27:38] Then I found out yesterday that yet another member of this secret sorority is none other than Joy Reed, Joy Reed, who's, if her IQ was one point lower, you'd have to water her like a plant. [00:27:54] It's amazing to me that the Justice Department has not moved to recuse Judge Gia Cobb from this case, giving her shocking conflict of interest. [00:28:07] But this ultimately probably will end up going to the U.S. District Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia. [00:28:17] I can tell you a lot about them as well. [00:28:19] They're just as political as Judge Cobb. [00:28:22] By the way, Judge Gia Cobb is the same judge who ruled only days ago that President Donald Trump didn't have the authority to deport illegal immigrants. [00:28:33] So you can already see that this case has been sent to a virulent anti-Trump leftist activist judge. [00:28:42] Normally, you would assume that a lower court decision, which did not hold that President Trump had the authority to fire a Federal Reserve Board governor for quote-unquote cause, would be overturned by the circuit, but not in the District of Columbia. [00:29:01] I can tell you firsthand, having been through this particular meat grinder, that in the District of Columbia, the Constitution, the law, the rules, the evidence, none of these things actually matter. [00:29:15] What matters is politics. [00:29:18] And in this case, I think you will see Judge Cobb rule for Lisa Cook. [00:29:24] Then there'll be a great celebration in the fake news media about how Trump fired this Federal Reserve Board governor, but never had the authority to do so. [00:29:34] Then it'll go, after several months of this, it'll go to the District Court of Appeals. [00:29:40] I think that's the flip of a coin. [00:29:41] They may also incorrectly decide this case. [00:29:44] And once again, very much like the decision today regarding illegal immigrants, it will ultimately just be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. [00:29:56] Before it's all over, perhaps Lisa Cook can share a cell with New York Attorney General Letitia James. [00:30:04] She's another one of these multicultural fraudsters who has been credibly accused of a 43-year crime spree of mortgage fraud. === Multicultural Fraudsters (02:51) === [00:30:14] In her case, in her very first mortgage, she claimed that her father was her husband. [00:30:21] He did that in order to utilize her father's balance sheet because alone, she probably could not qualify for the mortgage. [00:30:30] There's also new evidence that when she fell short of one of her mortgage applications, she quickly went to Columbia University and collected two checks. [00:30:40] Although what those checks exactly were for, oh, that's not clear at all. [00:30:46] In yet another celebrated case, she applied for and got what is called a HAMP loan from the federal government. [00:30:54] This is a loan designed for someone who owns investment properties, but to get a HAMP loan, your investment property must be four rentable units or less. [00:31:06] Unfortunately, the property that Letitia James had was five units, but that's not what she said in the applications for the mortgage. [00:31:17] And then more recently, as we now know, she applied for and got a mortgage for a property in Virginia, but in the power of attorney, which she signed in 12 different places, so much for the argument that this was a typographical error, she claimed that the property in Virginia would be her primary principal legal residence. [00:31:43] Of course, if that were true, then under the New York State Constitution, Letitia James would not be eligible to be the state attorney general. [00:31:52] In the meantime, we learned, and this story was broken right here in the Stone Zone, that the home in Virginia that Letitia James, the Attorney General, borrowed and got a mortgage for, is actually inhabited by her niece. [00:32:09] And her niece has at least three criminal warrants out for her. [00:32:13] So the chief law enforcement officer of the state of New York is harboring an illegal fugitive from justice. [00:32:21] How long can this go on? [00:32:24] I think it was Letitia James who said, no one is above the law. [00:32:28] What she's about to find out is that no one includes her. [00:32:32] This is a prosecutor who, after all, accused Donald Trump of inflating the value of his assets in order to make commercial real estate loans, all of which he paid back on time, and those lenders made $40 million in interest. [00:32:50] No one has ever been prosecuted under this law, but she got a $554 million judgment against the president that was overturned by the federal courts only days ago. [00:33:04] No, justice is here. === National Guard Intervention (05:46) === [00:33:06] And those on CNN and MSNBC who say that this is weaponization or that this is retaliation or revenge don't understand that what we have now is equal application of the law. [00:33:20] Thanks to the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the policies of President Donald Trump, those who violate the law will be held responsible. [00:33:31] I'm Roger Stone. [00:33:33] You're listening to Stone Zone right here in the Red Apple Audio Networks. [00:33:37] Whatever you do, don't go away because we'll be right back. [00:33:43] The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network. [00:33:50] And we're back in the Stone Zone. [00:33:52] I join you today from Washington, D.C. [00:33:55] I must say, I've never seen the city look so clean and so safe. [00:34:00] What's interesting to me is the people who actually live here are very, very happy that President Donald Trump both federalized the Metropolitan D.C. police and mobilized the National Guard in order to bring safety back to the communities in the neighborhoods of the District of Columbia. [00:34:18] The only people who seem to be unhappy about it are the politicians. [00:34:22] We see the same thing playing out in Chicago. [00:34:25] Yesterday, I interviewed former Chicago Police Superintendent Richard Brezak, who explained to us that since the 1980s, the politicians in the city of Chicago have refused to back up the police, causing an enormous gap in the credibility of the Chicago Police Department. [00:34:45] Very clear to me that President Donald Trump has already made the decision to mobilize the National Guard and to send them to Chicago. [00:34:54] That he himself yesterday said, it's not a question of if, it's only a question of when. [00:35:00] Once again, I predict to you, despite what Mayor Brandon Johnson says, who seems to be rallying the people of Chicago to oppose those who would go there to preserve order and safety, that the people of Chicago will be relieved if the National Guard clean up the crime situation in Chicago as they have in the District of Columbia. [00:35:24] Meanwhile, Multicare's Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, Washington, was shut down because their gender clinic for children was violating the law and they will no longer be providing puberty blockers, homeborn therapy, and other treatments designed to facilitate gender transitions for children. [00:35:47] The hospital scrubbed most of the information about so-called gender-affirming care for children from their website. [00:35:55] A hospital spokesman said that the hospital would continue providing behavioral health care, which includes mental health assessments, counseling, and support services to children with gender dysphoria following the change. [00:36:10] This has become a nationwide trend following President Trump's executive order to prohibit or limit access to these controversial procedures. [00:36:19] The hospitals are responding to the incentives, fearful that they may lose federal grant money if they do not comply with the administration's new rules. [00:36:28] The purity and dignity of thousands of children could be saved because President Donald Trump's bold leadership in this area. [00:36:35] The next step is to criminally charge those responsible for drugging and mutilating these children for sexual abuse. [00:36:43] Meanwhile, Wisconsin's schools has covered up the facts regarding the recent transgender school shooting. [00:36:51] Les Paul Middle School in Waukesha, Wisconsin covered up the deranged plot of a 13-year-old transgendered student who plotted to commit a Columbine-style mass shooting at the school in October of 2024. [00:37:08] This transgendered student, whose identity has not yet publicly been revealed, reportedly sent messages to students about guns, ammo, and bragged about making a hit list and began recruiting accomplices for the purposes of committing this incredibly heinous crime. [00:37:26] The children were quietly expelled from school, but the school administrators never alerted the public or the students' parents about exactly what had occurred. [00:37:37] Radio host Dan O'Donnell broke this story, stating that he believed that the state, the school administrator, had covered this up and the subsequent media blackout of the story happened because they feared reprisal from a transgendered community if the truth had been made known. [00:37:54] It's time to start treating transgender activists who act like terrorists exactly what they are, terrorists, as clearly they pose a clear and present danger to the safety of all Americans, perhaps a greater danger than some of our foreign enemies. [00:38:13] Meanwhile, the federal appeals court has allowed termination of these giant federal grants for climate change. [00:38:22] This appeals court decision by the Trump administration will terminate $16 billion in climate change-related grants. [00:38:31] This reverses a ruling by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkin stopping the federal government from withholding these grants. [00:38:39] This is very good news indeed. [00:38:41] Only yesterday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said the number one problem facing African Americans was climate change. === Termination Of Climate Grants (01:38) === [00:38:52] That's right. [00:38:52] You heard it here in the Stone Zone. [00:38:55] Until tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed. [00:39:00] Thanks for listening to the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

[00:39:34] Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care. [00:39:40] Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones. [00:39:49] No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out. [00:39:52] They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. [00:39:57] 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. [00:40:10] Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe. [00:40:18] Hospitals are our community's lifelines. [00:40:20] They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy. [00:40:23] But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care. [00:40:27] Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
