Roger Stone warns Congress risks gutting rural hospitals, leaving 5,000+ lifelines vulnerable while critiquing Bill Clinton’s alleged Epstein ties and Hillary’s 2016 collapse, citing Russian intel on her psychological unfitness. He mocks AOC’s "global south" rhetoric at Munich, praises Fetterman as a potential GOP defector, and slams Democratic radicalism under Bowman. Stone ties South Korea’s Gates-linked pandemic drills to technocratic overreach, warns of uranium shortages by 2028, and frames Gabbard’s election probes as deep-state retaliation. The episode ends with a call to reject centralized control, echoing Founding Fathers’ decentralization—all while urging midterm focus over 2028 presidential speculation.

Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
Don't cut rule health care.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
People love him and respect him.

Now, get in the zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
You are now jumping headfirst into the stone zone.
Welcome to our very special President's Day show.
President's Day, which was originally Washington's birthday, is of course a U.S. Federal Hospital Day, honoring multiple presidents.
Originally, George Washington's birthday was the federal holiday.
That was February 22nd, 1732, originally.
After his death, I think it was in 1799, Americans began celebrating his birthday to honor the first president and, of course, the Revolutionary War leader.
By 1879, Washington's birthday officially became a federal holiday.
But over time, Americans began to informally honor Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12th.
Honoring Multiple Presidents00:05:42
This was particularly true in the northern states.
Although Lincoln never got a separate federal holiday, his legacy blended into Washington's celebration to give us the modern day President's Day.
It was back in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, moving several holidays to Mondays in order to create long weekends.
That was to accommodate America's families.
Washington's birthday shifted to the third Monday in February as a holiday, starting in 1971.
Because the date falls between Lincoln's and Washington's birthday, retailers and states popularized the commercial name President's Day, although today is technically officially George Washington's birthday.
So the day now is somewhat changed, honoring all presidents.
I forwarded and reposted a great meme online.
It's a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Bill Clinton says, Happy President's Day, Hillary.
And Hillary says, up yours, Bill.
I wrote very extensively about their complicated relationship.
I am convinced that Bill Clinton was both brilliant but somewhat lazy.
And it was Hillary Clinton who provided the drive for him to both make a comeback after being elected governor of Arkansas, being defeated for re-election, largely because of what voters viewed as his arrogance, his return to the governor's mansion, and ultimately his successful drive for the presidency.
I'm also convinced that they had a marriage of convenience, not unlike Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt.
And in my book, The Clinton's War on Women, I clearly exposed the fact that, well, in my opinion, there was overwhelming evidence that Bill Clinton was a serial sexual assaulter and rapist of women.
And I first pointed out that he had a strange relationship, they both did, with Jeffrey Epstein, all of which, of course, has now been documented in these most recent Epstein email file releases.
I do think, however, that Bill Clinton probably never really wanted Hillary to be president.
On the one hand, she did not use any of his advisors, the advisors who had successfully guided him first to the presidency, and then through to an uphill reelection in 1996.
Then, secondarily, of course, there's the fact that Hillary Clinton had her own cabal, John Podesta, Robbie Mook, and others.
Always surprised me that they didn't use Bill Clinton more effectively in Hillary's campaign.
He was always much better liked, for example, in the African-American community.
He was also much better liked, generally speaking, among independents, but they didn't utilize Bill, or I think, frankly, his advice in Hillary's presidential campaign.
And they were shocked when they lost to Donald Trump.
She made her own questions.
In the end, I think she ultimately got outworked and outfoxed by Donald J. Trump.
She should have made late trips to Wisconsin and Michigan, but she thought those states were in the bag.
Trump was barnstorming all of the swing states like a whirling dervish.
Kind of reminded me of when Harry Truman, who was running behind in 1948, running against New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, one of the great upsets in American political history.
And it was widely thought that Truman would lose.
Truman got on a train in Washington, D.C. and headed west to California.
Dewey had nominated California Governor Earl Warren as the candidate for vice president, whereas Truman refused to give in the national polls.
Polling was then in its infancy.
Polls showed that Truman would lose.
But as Truman moved west, he was doing stops at virtually every major population center right on the train tracks.
His attacks on Republicans got stronger and more vituperative.
He accused Republicans of sticking a pitchfork in the back of America's farmers in a recent farm bill.
He blamed all the problems of the country, not on his leadership as president, but on the do-nothing 89th Republican Congress.
And by the time he got to California, his crowds were massive.
He had caught the public imagination and he won that election.
In an upset, he also carried California, even with Earl Warren, the incredibly popular governor who would later become Supreme Court Justice, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as his running mate.
So as it was with Trump, Trump in the final days, because there is a federal regulation about how many hours a private pilot can fly without rest, Trump was barnstorming Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, all of them swing states, North Carolina, in the closing days of the 2016 campaign, long after Hillary Clinton had retired to her place in Chappaqua,
Bannon's Lie About Musk00:06:39
where she was calmly looking at fabric swatches for the curtains in the Oval Office.
We know that the Clinton campaign planned a massive fireworks display and a huge party in New York City in what was a truly incredible and historic night, the most improbable election in American history.
So today, President's Day, we also celebrate our current president, Donald J. Trump.
When observing the conservative media landscape, there are countless rivalries and always disputes between so-called influencers, but few have risen to the heat of the feud last year between the world's richest man, Elon Musk, and the now infamous Jeffrey Epstein associate, Steve Bannon of the war room.
Bannon and Musk had what some would label an internet war last year after Musk began to publicly call for the release of all of the Epstein files, which have since now been released by the Trump administration.
At least most of them have, a few with redactions.
The files reveal the darkest side of American politics, implicating the likes of Democrat mega donors like Reid Hoffman, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and of course, Leslie Wexner of Scarlett's Secret, all in Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
Back then, Steve Bannon objected to the release of the files, desperately flinging any attack he could at Musk.
The podcast host even gave an interview to the New York Times in which he lied about Musk's immigration status.
Bannon told the Times that they should initiate a formal investigation of Elon Musk's immigration status because Bannon said he was of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien and he should be deported from the country immediately.
In addition to levying these false accusations, Bannon told additional lies, adding to false statements about Musk's illegal drug use, for which there is no proof whatsoever, and claiming that he was advising the president to cancel Musk's many federal contracts.
For those without context, Bannon's attack seemed in line with his public support for Donald Trump.
Months later, since the files have been released, we now know the true reason why Steve Bannon so emphatically lied about Musk over the Epstein files.
Also implicated in the Epstein files, perhaps in the worst way of anybody, within the release, is Steve Bannon himself, the host of the war room.
Bannon and Epstein, it turns out, exchanged some 1,974 emails in the days leading up to Epstein's arrest on July 6th, 2019, when he was indicted by the Trump administration for child sex trafficking, along with a second count of conspiring to engage in child sex trafficking.
Anyone who will read these shocking emails will see that Bannon was advising Epstein in terms of the rehabilitation of his public image.
This was after the time that Epstein had been arrested and prosecuted in Florida and the time he would be arrested and prosecuted in 2019 in New York.
It's also very clear that there's discussion of 15 hours of footage that was recorded with Epstein, of which to date, only two hours have been released.
Portions of the interview were released within the DOJ files.
You can see them online.
What you'll see is Bannon fawning over Epstein, who he actually calls a god at one point.
Throughout the email addresses, you can see that Epstein is being advised by Bannon, but together they continue to denigrate Trump, actually calling Trump stupid.
I was shocked to see that Bannon actually advocated removal of Donald Trump from the presidency under the 25th Amendment in an email message with Jeffrey Epstein.
That's why when Elon Musk brudged this topic of releasing the Epstein files in a very public fashion, Bannon so viciously attacked.
See, he had a lot to hide.
In early June of 2025, Bannon and his cohorts in a live episode of the war room echoed the statements from the New York Times calling for Musk to be deported, wrongly claiming that the billionaire is not here legally.
But Bannon didn't stop there.
The Epstein Associate went even further, claiming that the Trump administration should seize Musk's assets.
That would be SpaceX and Tesla over the billionaire's calls to release the Epstein files.
Cornered by the prospect of facing justice and public scrutiny over his own relationship with a billionaire sex trafficker, Bannon lashed out at Elon Musk.
But his attacks weren't based on truth.
They were based on self-preservation.
Only now, with the full release of the Epstein files, can we understand the extent of Bannon's relationship with Epstein.
But I point out two things to you.
One, Bannon pled guilty to embezzling $15 million from the Build the Wall Foundation, charges for which his two co-conspirators serve long prison sentences.
He was pardoned by President Donald Trump for that, re-indicted in Manhattan for that crime, where he quietly pled guilty and then was sentenced to no jail time by one of the very same Tammany Hall judges who sat briefly on Donald Trump's own case.
Then additionally, in another case in which the government sued Bannon's Chinese financial patron, Miles Guo, in a $1 billion fraud, Bannon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but no charges were brought against Bannon himself.
My beef with Bannon has always been clear.
He perjured himself at my trial, saying one thing to the House Intelligence Committee under oath, and the direct opposite in front of the jury in my trial.
But now the chickens have come home to roost for Steve Bannon, and people can read for themselves his various comments back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein.
The idea of Steve Bannon of the war room holding himself out as a supporter of Donald Trump, at the same time calling for Trump's removal, shows you who he really is.
Congressional Threats to Care00:12:48

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, who make no mistake about it, is a highly likely candidate for president, recently sparked controversy overseas this past weekend when she made remarks at the Munich Security Conference showing her utter disdain for Western civilization while elevating the so-called global south worldview.
Speaking of German students, AOC described Western culture as thin and criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio's highly acclaimed speech emphasizing shared American European heritage.
Rubio had reminded leaders that the United States and Europe are bound by centuries of history, Christianity, language, and sacrifice, calling them part of one Western civilization.
AOC rejected that idea, framing our historic alliance instead around class politics and internationalism.
She warned what she portrayed as nostalgia for tradition and argued that relationships should be built solely on democracy and international law, not historical identity.
AOC's comments grew well-deserved ridicule after she mocked Rubio's reference to Spanish roots of the American cowboy, despite the well-documented fact that Spanish explorers introduced horses to the Americas back in the 15th century.
The congresswoman also called whiteness imaginary while simultaneously praising national identities such as German and Italian culture, demonstrating she doesn't know what she's talking about.
The remarks come amid speculation about AOC's future presidential ambitions, raising questions about how her views would resonate with American voters who still broadly identify with our Western heritage and our values.
Comparing Rubio's message delivered to Europe with AOC's words shows a massive intelligence gap, one that should be demonstrable to the voters if the two would square off for the U.S. presidency in 2028.
Everybody seems to want to talk about the 2028 presidential contest, but in politics, a week is a lifetime, and 2028 is a lifetime away.
All I have said is the AOC would be a viable candidate because she could raise millions and millions of dollars of small and medium-sized donations through the internet and through Act Blue, which is currently under investigation.
That's the Democrat payment processing company that has been accused of generating fake contributions, what's called smurfing.
In the meantime, I think Republicans would be wise to focus on 2026 before 2028.
But the reason I belong to the Italian American Civil Rights League, which you can find at iacrl.org, is because we stand up for our traditional Italian American heritage.
And we don't want them to erase the incredible role that Italian Americans have played in making this country great.
I'm Roger Stone.
I'm feeling very Italian today, and we'll be right back.

U.S. Senator John Fetterman continues to surprise me.
I have been a critic of Fetterman's garb, the way he dresses, because I think that the U.S. Senate requires more decorum than, say, a hoodie and cargo pants.
But he does surprise me in his distancing himself from the far, far left of his own party, this time by refusing to demonize Trump supporters.
In a recent interview, Fetterman revealed that even members of his own family back President Donald Trump, and that's precisely why he rejects rhetoric portraying MAGA voters as extremists.
He stated that he will not call millions of Americans Nazis or enemies of democracy simply because of understandable political beliefs.
Fetterman also pushed back on repeated claims that Trump intends to defy courts or run indefinitely for office, knowing that there's no evidence to support those fears.
The president does joke constantly about running again, but he's well aware of the fact that despite what Steve Bannon says, the U.S. Constitution prohibits any person from being elected to more than two terms.
Now, no place in the Constitution does it say that those two terms have to be consecutive.
And in fact, only one other American, one other president that we recognize on this president's day, Grover Cleveland, achieved the same thing President Trump has achieved, which is to say, been elected, then failed to be reelected in a disputed re-election, then come back to win the White House again.
That is precisely what has happened here.
President Trump is well aware of the fact that he's constitutionally ineligible to run for another term.
The problem with those on the left is they have Trump derangement syndrome, and his joking alone drives them crazy.
Fetterman's comments have reportedly angered some progressive activists who are already discussing a primary challenge against him.
Fetterman was previously warned that socialism and ideological party tests have hurt Democrats politically and alienated working-class voters.
This moment highlights a widening divide inside the Democrat Party between the far-left Marxist activists demanding confrontation versus a small and dwindling number of moderates who have not drunk the Kool-Aid and still care about the whole of their country.
The balance of power, very sadly, with the election of Miam Dami, I think, has shifted to this radical progressive left, and the word moderate Democrat is almost an oxymoron.
Fetterman understands that many millions of Americans who vote Republican are ordinary citizens and not extremists.
He also understands that Democrats embracing extremism will mean future electoral losses in the midterms for them and in the future.
And if, and this is just my opinion, but if Fetterman were to be challenged in a legitimate Democrat primary, he could probably switch parties and run as a Republican to win re-election.
At this point, my guess is that he could dominate a Republican primary contest and go on to win the seat.
So the Democrats would only ruin their chances of holding the seat for purposes of the caucuses.
It's clear to me that the old Democrat Party, the party of John F. Kennedy, the party of Harry Truman, the presidents that we celebrate today, President's Day, no longer exists, and that a radical clique has taken over that party and that that party will continue to produce nominees who are incapable of winning national general elections.
A recent international pandemic exercise drawing renewed debate about government power and global coordination in future health emergencies.
Earlier this month, South Korea hosted a large-scale simulation designed to test how quickly regulators, pharmaceutical companies, and international organizations could develop and distribute vaccines during a hypothetical outbreak.
The drill involved public health agencies, manufacturers, and global partners working through rapid approval and mass deployment procedures with ties unsurprisingly to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Organizers described the exercise as preparations for a future crisis that they seem to know about, but we don't.
They identified supply chain bottlenecks and they demonstrated how they can accelerate medical response.
But we've seen this kind of training before during event 201, which simulated a pandemic that just so coincidentally happened months later with the outbreak of COVID-19.
Government may again rely on sweeping emergency powers and one-size-fits-all policies without sufficient oversight when the next public health emergency occurs.
The border issue isn't preparedness itself.
I think we can all agree that planning matters.
I think it was Dwight Eisenhower who said that plans are worthless, but planning is indispensable.
What did Ike mean by that?
Well, what he meant was that a plan is static, but the situation and conditions continually change.
Therefore, one's plan must have the flexibility to change along with the facts.
That's what Eisenhower meant when he said planning is indispensable.
The real question here is how much authority should be concentrated in these international institutions and regulatory agencies when a health crisis that is legitimate hits.
Pandemic policy must always balance health protection with people's fundamental rights, economic stability, and local decision-making.
Emergency systems designed entirely around rapid pharmaceutical rollout risk will trash any sort of safeguards against corporate-driven authoritarianism.
When the motive is profit, it will be extremely clear.
It's clear now that technocrats have no respect for our civil liberties.
They made that clear during COVID-19.
Perhaps we should take a page out of the Founding Fathers' book if they try anything like COVID-19 lockdown again.
Then maybe these scientific elitists might get the picture and stop with their megalomaniacal planning.
Tulsi Gabbard Under Fire00:14:13
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton himself, speaking of President's Day, if Donald Trump is to be honored for anything at all, it is from keeping Hillary Clinton from the White House.
I've written extensively about him and about her and found that she was a short-tempered, highly entitled technocrat.
I would say somebody who would steal a hot stove.
Earlier this year, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified documents from Russian intelligence, which indicated that the Russians knew that Hillary Clinton was very heavily medicated, that she had mental health issues built around anger and resentment, and she was probably psychologically unfit to be president.
Of course, that information remained sealed during the 2016 election.
There's no doubt in my mind that she lays awake at night dreaming about what may have been.
But we also know that Hillary Clinton left Donald Trump a mess in the wake of her defeat, unable to accept defeat, given the fact that she and her husband had substantially more experience at presidential campaigning than the first-time candidate Donald Trump.
They had to invent the entire false narrative of Russian collusion.
And that has now come home to Roost.
Thanks to Tulsi Gabbard, we now know that the entire Russian collusion hoax was a perpetrated fraud, perhaps the greatest single dirty trick and abuse of power in American political history.
It all started in August of 2016 in an Oval Office meeting chaired by Barack Obama himself.
They utilized the Steele dossier, which we now know was completely fraudulent.
That is a secret report that claims falsely that Donald Trump dallied with Russian prostitutes when visiting Moscow as a private businessman.
It had been completely and totally discredited.
The FBI was well aware of the fact that it had been essentially formulated by former British intelligence agents named Steele, had been sold first, I think, to Paul Singer, the owner of the Washington Free Beacon, who was a supporter of Marco Rubio, but never really utilized, and then resold to Hillary Clinton's campaign for president.
That, of course, morphed into four years of using the Steele dossier as the rationale for the appointment of Robert Mueller as a special prosecutor with sweeping legal powers that was used against me in an effort to squeeze me, to get me to testify falsely against Donald Trump.
See, when they could find no evidence of Russian collusion, they sought to create it.
That in turn goes into the entire Russian collusion efforts to unseat Donald Trump, a coup d'état, if there ever was one, continues into two phony impeachments.
The first one based on January 6th, the second one based on the so-called wrap-up smear.
In other words, a completely fabricated impeachment case in which the Vindman brothers, remember them?
Eugene and Alex, both in the U.S. Army, so cute in their little uniforms.
Eugene's now a congressman.
Alexander's running for the Senate in Florida.
They claim that they overheard a conversation between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, in which Trump was justifiably inquiring about the corruption of Joe Biden.
In fact, Joe Biden himself went out there and bragged about the fact that he had threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid to Ukraine unless Zelensky fired the prosecutor who was then investigating Hunter Biden and the energy company Barisma.
So the two Vindman brothers then went to a third party, in this case, Eric Sierra Mella, who was a former CIA, future CIA, but at that point working for Senator Adam Schiff, and told him, he then filed a formal complaint with the Inspector General becoming a quote-unquote whistleblower.
But of course, the contents of that are sealed.
That's the wrap-up smear.
It's all based on a falsehood.
Then you leak that to the media.
They cover it the way, for example, the Steele dossier was covered.
And that gives it legitimacy.
This, by the way, is exactly what they're doing right now to Tulsi Gabbard.
So let me get this straight.
Two people on the internet, two foreign intelligence assets whose names were not allowed to hear, claim that they overheard a conversation between somebody and a member of the Trump family, and that Tulsi Gabbard was aware of this but never flagged it.
They never mentioned that these claims were completely and totally discredited by a legitimate investigation.
This is the very definition of the wrap-up smear.
Precisely what Trump was subjected to, what Tulsi Gabbard is now subjected to.
It is amazing that some out there in the public fall for it again.
But why this targeting of Tulsi Gabbard?
Well, it's because she has been appointed by the president to look into the question of the security and integrity of our election.
She's examining the use of mail-in ballots.
She's also examining the security of the electronic voting machines.
And when she showed up at the FBI raid at the Fulton County Election Board warehouse after Fulton County Election Board officials testified for the state election board that more than 315,000 Georgia ballots in 2020 were cast illegally with no signatures and matching serial numbers, she became a target.
Tulsi Gabbard is extraordinarily dangerous to the deep state and to the Democrats, and that's why they've unhinged this attack on her.
But it is bogus.
Tulsi Gabbard did absolutely nothing wrong.
And even the Wall Street Journal, when you get to paragraph eight of their story, they admit it.
Yes, I've admitted here that I believe Tulsi Gabbard will be our first woman president, not necessarily in 2028, but I think she has the chops.
She has the sure-footedness.
She has the military experience.
She has the bearing.
She has the big picture understanding of the epic fight for freedom in this country.
So, yes, I believe she will be president someday.
No, I didn't say 2028.
It's too early to talk about 2028.
Right now, Republicans, if they're smart, will focus on 2026.
You're listening to The Stone Zone with Roger Stone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, and we'll be right back.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
Just step in stone.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
They went after a guy named Roger Stone, who's sitting in the office.
And I'll say this in Trevor Rogers.
He's no baby.

Now, get in the zone.
It's the stone zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
And we're back in the Stone Zone.
At that Munich Security Conference we spoke of earlier, where AOC kind of made a fool of herself, an unexpected moment of agreement actually emerged in the global immigration debate.
After Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave the highly acclaimed speech in which he warned that the United States and Europe share a common Western heritage and must confront the dangers of mass migration, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took the stage and surprisingly acknowledged the crisis herself.
Clinton admitted large-scale migration has been disruptive and destabilizing to societies and said the issue went too far.
She called for secure borders and stronger family structures, remarks that surprised many observers given years of political message downplaying border concerns.
Secretary of State Rubio had earlier emphasized that uncontrolled migration threatens Western stability and unity among its allies.
His comments reflect growing concern across Europe where nations face social tensions, strained welfare systems, and rise in crime tied to unchecked border flows.
Clinton's comments represent a rare recognition of reality.
Border policy matters and sovereignty still exists.
This, of course, does not excuse Clinton from making a mockery of warnings about mass immigration for years while labeling enforcement advocates as extremists.
She simply sees which way the winds are now blowing.
There's now a major populist movement rising up around the world to put a stop to mass migration, and they are often hostile to the ruling elites who caused the problems to begin with.
Clinton is hoping to get on the right side of history so she can co-opt the narrative on behalf of the ruling elites who we all know she serves.
But I think it is too little, too late.
Europe applauded at the remarks made by Secretary Rubio.
They did so because they were, of course, eloquently put, but also because Rubio and the Trump administration have the credibility to back it up.
Clinton has no such credibility as a two-time presidential loser.
I believe her time is past.
What I really don't understand is why she was invited to speak to the Munich Security Conference to begin with.
In the meantime, I think America's push for a nuclear energy comeback is running into a hard reality.
The United States still depends on foreign uranium.
Energy officials warn a fuel shortage could hit as early as 2028, just as new reactors planned under the administration's nuclear expansion strategy begin coming online.
Despite billions in federal investment to revive domestic production, less than 1% of the fuel used by America's commercial nuclear reactors is produced at home.
Instead, the country relies heavily on imports from abroad, including suppliers in Central Asia and previously Russia.
A congressional ban on Russian uranium imports takes effect in 2028, leaving a supply gap unless domestic capacity ramps up very quickly.
Industry leaders say rebuilding enrichment capability, once pioneered and dominated by the United States, is now a national security priority.
New federal funding has been awarded to companies building enrichment plants in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, but large-scale production may not reach full capacity until early 2030.
The issue exposes decades of policy mistakes that outsourced critical infrastructure while energy demands continued to rise.
Reliable baseload power is essential for manufacturing, for artificial intelligence development, and frankly for grid stability.
And we can't depend on hostile geopolitical rivals for energy.
Energy independence is no longer just about oil and gas, but it's also about nuclear fuel.
We must have an American first nuclear policy, and production must go online as quickly as possible.
When America has the determination to get something done, we have shown throughout our history that we really are unstoppable.
We need a nuclear policy, just as Donald Trump has moved us to energy independence when it comes to oil and gas.
I'm calling it out right now here in the Stone Zone.
Thanks for joining us today in the Stone Zone.
So tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed.
