Roger Stone dissects House Oversight Chairman James Comer's subpoena of Tova Noel regarding her $5,000 deposit and log falsification before Jeffrey Epstein's death, while debunking Ted Lieu's child rape claims against Trump. He exposes Steve Bannon's alleged CCP funding via Miles Guo and challenges three federal judges for bias against Lindsay Halligan, whom he defends under the Government Vacancies Act. Stone condemns the Soros-funded Campaign for Accountability as lawfare, refutes Cassidy Hutchinson's coached testimony about January 5th calls, and criticizes the Bank of England's wildlife banknote proposal as historical erasure mirroring threats to free speech and heritage. [Automatically generated summary]
You are now diving headfirst into the deep end of the Stone Zone.
Now, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, is intensifying scrutiny of the federal government's handling of Jeffrey Epstein's death, announcing plans to subpoena former prison guard Tova Noel, as new details have arisen, raising major questions about what really happened inside the Metropolitan Correction Center in 2019.
You'll recall that after it was declared that Jeffrey Epstein had killed himself, Epstein's family retained the noted former New York medical examiner Michael Badden, one of the most respected pathologists in the country.
And it was a statement from Badden that said that the broken bones in Epstein's neck were inconsistent with the method of hanging that was ascribed to his suicide.
Nonetheless, Attorney General Bill Barr was quick to insist that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
We also know, of course, that on the Thursday before his death, Epstein retained a new criminal defense attorney, David Schoen, reached terms with him, and then theoretically killed himself two days later.
Doesn't sound very logical.
Schoen has said publicly and right here in the Stone Zone that in his own conversations with Epstein, Epstein insisted that he had no evidence and therefore no leverage against President Donald Trump.
But among the more recent troubling findings is the fact that there was a $5,000 deposit into the bank account of prison guard Tova Noel just 10 days before Epstein died.
Banks typically don't flag deposits under $10,000, yet this one triggered a suspicious activity report, something that Congressman Comer says investigators never fully examined.
Comer did make clear that no one is accusing this prison guard of wrongdoing, but he says there's a lot of questions the American people still deserve answers to.
I agree on that.
Records show that Noel was one of the two prison guards on duty the night Epstein was found dead in his stell in cell.
Instead of conducting mandatory checks, she later admitted to sleeping and shopping online and falsifying the prison logs, failures that resulted in a deferred prosecution deal against her in 2021.
Computer records also showed that the prison guards searched online for updates about Epstein about 40 minutes before his body was discovered.
FBI analysts reportedly flagged the search as the only notable activity on the guard's computer that morning.
Chairman Comer says the oversight committee wants answers not just about the guard's conduct, but about the broader features surrounding Epstein's case, including why federal authorities failed to prosecute him years earlier.
You'll recall that after the chief of police of the city of Palm Beach received a tip, he conducted a six-month undercover investigation and gave the state's attorney a case involving 33 underage girls,
a sex trafficking case, also a case in which Epstein could have been charged with 21 counts of statutory rape.
The police chief Michael Ryder was shocked when the state's attorney, that's an elected position, by the way, only brought a charge of solicitation against Epstein.
That was after Epstein hired a dream team of criminal defense lawyers, including Leon Black, Alan Dershowitz, and others, including Ken Starr, by the way, the former special counsel who investigated the Clintons in the Whitewater matter.
Comer says the Oversight Committee is going to look at all of these failures and try to determine why in 2005 Epstein was not prosecuted on much broader charges.
Now, we do know anecdotally that Alex Acosta, he was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida with responsibility for Palm Beach.
He was asked by police chief Ryder to review the state's decision, and rather than provide sunlight, he rubber stamped the state's charge and he sealed the entire case.
If it were not for a prolonged legal battle by the Palm Beach Post to unseal those documents, we wouldn't know what had happened.
So we also know anecdotally that an attorney that I know, an attorney who is a member of the Federalist Society, an attorney whose name you would recognize if I said it now, who was involved in preparing Acosta for his confirmation hearings when he was appointed Secretary of Labor by Donald Trump.
By the way, no one told President Trump that Acosta was the same man who had given Jeffrey Epstein a slap on the wrist.
They had simply told him that he was a highly qualified Hispanic Republican American who was well qualified for the job.
I was told at the time the president wasn't very happy about that.
But when Acosta, in the practice sessions for his Secretary of Labor confirmation hearings, was asked why he had essentially just quietly sealed the Epstein case, he said, well, I'm going to tell the truth, that he worked for the agency, and I was told by the Central Intelligence Agency to seal the case.
I think Acosta is among those who should testify for the oversight committee.
This has been a long time coming.
The public needs some serious answers, and the prosecutions regarding this case, in order for the faith in government, otherwise it will never be restored.
The Democrats continue to flame out Congressman Ted Liu, saying just openly yesterday that we're not getting full disclosure about Epstein because President Donald Trump raped children.
This is the same Congressman Ted Liu who was an intimate and who had a major donor, Ed Buck, who was in fact convicted of raping and murdering children.
There's many pictures of them together.
Now, this is what's called guilt by association.
This is what Liu is trying.
He has no evidence tying President Donald Trump to any misconduct.
There was a woman, Katie Johnson, who claimed that Donald Trump had raped her when she was 13 years old.
She surfaced during the 2016 campaign.
That also turned out to be a hoax.
She is now being prosecuted for those false claims.
So this whole thing, in my view, has backfired very badly for the Democrats.
Who was on the island?
I'll tell you who's on the island.
Bill Clinton was on the island.
I say that because the sworn testimony of at least three of Epstein's victims, including Virginia Roberts Juffray, who turned down a multi-million dollar settlement to press forward with her lawsuit against Epstein and later the Epstein estate, said in her sworn testimony that she saw Bill Clinton on the island, that two 17-year-old twin sisters had been flown in for Bill's amusement.
She could not testify that she had seen Clinton engage in improper activity, but that's because she was removed from the main room and directed to have sex with another one of Epstein's guests.
But when she asked Epstein, this is in my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women, when she asked Epstein why Bill Clinton was on the island, she was told, well, Epstein chuckled, he owes me a favor.
More fallout from the Epstein scandal, a continued backlash over the announcement by the American Conservative Union that Steve Bannon will be a featured speaker at the 2026 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
Now, I'm the one who convinced President Donald Trump to attend his first CPAC conference.
That was back in 2011 when he was just beginning to think about a 2020-12, 2020-12 candidacy for president.
But a number of important influencers across the board, Brendan Dilley, Kat Turd, many, many others saying that they will boycott CPAC if Bannon is indeed a featured speecher.
I joined that chorus this morning because I think given what we now know from the emails that were released by the Department of Justice, Steve Bannon, who on the air on his show, The War Room, that's a title, by the way, he stole from me.
That was the name of my show when I used to be at Infowars, and continued to be the show of Owen Schroer after I left.
It is very clear that while on the air he was posing as a Trump loyalist and defender, the emails with Epstein show a very different story.
He talks about removing Trump under the 25th Amendment.
He calls Trump stupid.
He says that he, Bannon, is the centerpiece of the MAGA movement, not Donald Trump.
He also seeks to join Epstein's legal team, but the most disturbing thing is that Bannon is constantly coaching Epstein on the rehabilitation of his image.
Now, they reportedly filmed 10 hours of video interview together, and Bannon's cover story has been that that is for a documentary.
Well, if there was a planned documentary, it was a documentary that was meant to be exculpatory.
They were going to try to clean up Epstein's public image.
I suspect that it was not, in fact, a documentary, but practice sessions for a 60-minutes invitation that was canceled, of course, after Epstein was fired, or Epstein was arrested, pardon me.
So a lot of trouble for Steve Bannon today.
Also, notice that the number of views for his show is down very sharply.
At its height, his show, Real America's Voice, used to get 150 to 170,000 views.
Yesterday, the show had 7,000 views.
I think that is very significant.
Very significant piece in Art Voice today by investigative reporter Frank Parlato.
Parlato maintains that the money that Epstein, pardon me, the money that Bannon was operating with after leaving the White House, which came from a Chinese source, a man named Miles Guo, was in fact CCP money, Chinese Communist Party money.
I checked the record on this when Guo, the funder of Steve Bannon, was asked under oath in a lawsuit in New York whether his money came from the CCP and about the role of a certain William G, that's GE, who has been established as a Chinese communist operative.
He pled the fifth 55 times.
That does not prove, of course, that it is Chinese communist money, but it is certainly highly suspicious.
It's interesting because Guo was prosecuted in a $1 billion fraud and convicted.
Bannon would be an unindicted co-conspirator in that fraud.
In his piece, Parlato documents the extensive involvement of Bannon, but one has to question why Bannon himself was not prosecuted.
We'll be back with more politics on the other side.

Honoring the Italian League00:03:47
I want to express my thanks to the Italian American Civil Rights League.
That's a non-profit organization that I belong to.
Everybody involved is a volunteer, by the way.
There's nobody paid here.
But we protect and stand up for Italian American heritage and customs.
And we're opposed to those who would erase the tremendous contribution that Italian Americans have made to this country.
Last night they honored me with the kickoff of their South Florida chapter.
It was an extraordinarily moving and I think important time.
We talk about political active by African Americans and of course Hispanic Americans, Cuban Americans, and so on.
The group of voters who gave President Donald Trump the highest percentage of their vote are Italian-American males.
There's a little known factoid.
And I think it is important that those who are of Italian-American extraction stand up for the heritages and the customs and the traditions that we have brought to make this country great.
So I was pleased to be honored last night.
Meanwhile, the White House is blasting CBS News after the network fired, pardon me, hired a communications executive who previously worked for one of President Donald Trump's most despicable and disgraced political adversaries.
That would be Congresswoman Liz Cheney, defeated for re-election in the Republican primary Wyoming by a record margin.
Jeremy Adler, a former communications advisor to Liz Cheney, is joining CBS News, according to sources familiar with the move.
This hiring is raising eyebrows inside the administration, giving Cheney's prominent role in leading the House investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot.
That those hearings were a complete fraud.
I can tell you that the video and audio they played of me, which proved nothing whatsoever, by the way, was AI generated.
And of course, their principal witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, perjured herself multiple times talking about both me and General Flynn.
Sad that I have to say this, but any claim that I knew in advance about, participated in, or condoned any illegal action on January 6th or any other date is categorically false.
If you're listening to the Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, don't go away.
We'll be right back with more hot politics on the other side.
Zone Zone.
Now, give him a zone.
It's the Stone Zone.

Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
Roger Stone wins Rogers.

Welcome back to the Stone Zone.
Florida Bar Malice Exposed00:08:38
Well, now former interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsay Halligan, is being maligned in the media with false allegations that her actions have her under investigation by the Florida Bar Association, insinuating that her actions at DOJ were in some way improper.
Last week, the New York Times breathlessly reported that she was under investigation, only to retract that the very next day because, well, it was false.
It seems that this was generated by a woman named Michelle Cuppersmith.
She works for one of the Soros Dark Money funds.
And these are the kind of groups that endanger this kind of lawfare.
Halligan was, of course, the former White House lawyer appointed interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia when President Donald Trump learned that the sitting U.S. Attorney, Eric Siebert, who was charged with investigating potential charges against former FBI Director James Comey, had never disclosed a glaring conflict on his part.
Turns out that Siebert's father-in-law, that is his wife's father, is the godfather to James Comey's daughter and also represented Comey as a private attorney.
Now, Halligan was appointed to the vacancy caused when Trump fired Siebert under the Government Vacancies Act.
Despite the fact that she had no prosecutorial experience, Halligan presented Comey's testimony to a grand jury showing that he denied giving any internal FBI information to third parties and directed them to leak that information to the media while showing proof that he had done exactly that in emails between himself and his lawyer and friend Daniel Richmond.
He actually directed Richmond to leak the material that Comey had produced to the New York Times.
The only way to get the charges against Comey, and for that matter, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was also indicted by Halligan dismissed, was to obtain a ruling by a federal judge that Halligan's appointment as interim U.S. attorney was somehow improper.
Although leading lawyers concede that the Government Vacancies Act actually gave Trump the power to appoint Halligan.
In fact, the ruling that Halligan was improperly appointed was wrongly decided and is on act of appeal by the Department of Justice.
I suspect that it will be overturned.
If there's anybody who ought to be investigated in this whole matter, it is the three federal judges who engaged in illegal, unorthodox, and unethical conduct repeatedly, violating the Department of Justice's canon of ethics for judges in an epic display of bias, abuse of the system, and non-stop personal attacks on Halligan.
Now, because Lindsay Halligan is a former beauty pageant winner, because she is tall and very beautiful, she's also very smart, even though the media continued to try to deride her as, quote, just an insurance lawyer.
In fact, she had risen to become a senior partner at a major Florida law firm where she headed their civil litigation division.
And her expertise specifically is in the area of real estate and mortgage law, which was particularly handy in the investigation and duly proper indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The unethical conduct of three judges, Judge Michael Nachmanoff, Judge Cameron McGowan Curry, and Judge William G. Fitzpatrick is so outrageous that a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Prosecutor Responsibility is expected, and some House Republicans are openly talking about formal articles of impeachment being introduced into the House.
Now, even though it is unlikely that you could ever get the two-thirds of the Senate necessary to impeach a federal judge, Sunlight is a great disinfectant.
And I've checked the Constitution.
I can't find the section that says the judicial branch has supremacy over the legislative branch.
So I think these judges should be called to explain a number of their rulings.
That's the way democracy works.
Other lawyers, repulsed by the false claim that Lindsey Halligan was under investigation by the Florida Bar, have vowed to file bar complaints against the three judges, although, frankly, the bars are mostly political operations.
The Campaign for Accountability, the CFA, which is a George Soros-funded front group, sent a letter to the Florida Bar claiming Halligan was guilty of various ethical violations after launching prosecutions against both former FBI Director Comer and the current New York Attorney General Tisha James.
Those cases were therefore ultimately dismissed on technicalities, and now the system is coming for their pound of flesh.
The claims by CFA, that's a George Soros-funded front operation funded with dark money, are bogus and they're completely illegitimate.
CFA claimed that the Florida Bar was conducting an active investigation into Halligan.
However, the Florida Bar, just 24 hours after the New York Times reported that in a screaming headline, announced that that was not the case.
This is yet another example.
We were waiting for the New York Times and their reporter to issue a full and complete retraction because the claims against Halligan are both false and defamatory.
There is no such pending bar investigation.
Lindsey Halligan, a spokesman for the Florida Bar, told the Stone Zone.
In this case, the Florida Bar received a complaint against Halligan, and consistent with standard practice, the bar is monitoring the ongoing legal proceedings underlying the complaint.
That's actually good news for Halligan because the judge's ruling that her appointment was improper will ultimately be overturned.
The New York Times reporter Jonathan Bromwich has declined to issue a formal retraction, thinking wrongly that there will be no consequences for his unethical role in this entire caper.
Wouldn't be so sure about that.
These sort of underhanded tactics are the modus operandi of the CIFA under the stewardship of its leader, the rat-faced Michelle Cuppersmith.
Cuppersmith is the CFA's executive director.
She is a non-lawyer, served in senior roles in a number of these dark advocacy organizations, obstensively focused on political oversight.
But groups like CFA, while presenting themselves publicly as independent watchdogs, operate within a complex and often opaque left-wing network of non-profit funding that fuels the aims of subverting the rule of law here in America.
Cuppersmith, really just a smear artist, never lets facts or the truth get in her way of her distorted political smears.
She began working for the Mintz Group, a New York-based private investigative firm known for corporate and political research, later moved into non-profit advocacy where her muck rating is often used to support lawfare efforts meant to harm conservative objectives in a liberally dominated activist courts.
Before moving into a role at CFA, Cooper Smith worked on other left-wing fronts, including Accountable U.S. and Equity Forward.
Both are front groups that shovel propaganda but who hide who is really paying for it.
One recent example showing Cuppersmith's lawfare blueprint was a filing meant to produce to protect the Federal Reserve from internal security by the Trump administration.
Federal Reserve Lawfare Blueprint00:05:25
CFA filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in February against Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte.
Pulte simply raised questions about the massive cost overruns of the $3 billion renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters on Constitution Avenue in the District of Columbia.
The group sought the release of alleged memorandum written by Director Pulte regarding Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
The dispute stemmed from media reports suggesting the memo played some role in efforts by President Trump and allies to remove Powell amid the controversy involving the Federal Reserve's multi-billion dollar headquarters renovation.
Carper Smith accused Pulte of abusing his position to push the president's vendetta.
This demonstrates how these organizations actually work to prevent entrenched government from transparency by weaponizing the legal process to gum up the works and allow corrupt bureaucrats room to breathe.
In fact, I think Pulte is a hero for taking what was entirely public evidence of mortgage fraud.
Actually, anybody with a laptop can find this by New York Attorney General Letitia James as well as California Senator Adam Schiff and sending it to the U.S. Department of Justice for review, as he did in the case of James.
It's odd that James was actually charged with inflating the value of her net worth in order to qualify for a mortgage, which is exactly what she falsely accused President Donald Trump of doing in Manhattan.
The New York state courts overturned the verdict that James won against Trump in that particularly egregious act of lawfare.
Now she is whining that she's being held to the same standard.
It's interesting that Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, has actually prosecuted people for the exact same crime that she is now charged with.
And once again, the charges against her were dismissed, not because the charges were ever examined or because the matter ever went to trial, but simply because they were able to discredit the appointment of Lindsay Halligan.
I have written extensively about this case, and I am delighted to see that the New York Times has been held to account, but I still think they need to issue a full and complete retraction.
Meanwhile, word today that the House Republicans are calling for the Justice Department to prosecute former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
You may remember Hutchinson.
She testified on the January 6th committee hearings.
We talked about this a little earlier in the show.
Specifically, induced by, I think, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Hutchinson said it was her understanding, under oath, she said, that President Trump instructed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to call Roger Stone and General Michael Flynn on the evening of January 5th, and it was Hutchinson's, quote, understanding that these calls were completed on the evening of the 5th.
Cheney would later speculate that the purpose of these calls on January 5th was to, quote, find out what was going to happen on January 6th.
Once again, USA Today, for example, would report this fact without any effort to confirm its accuracy.
Rolling Stone, USA Today, MSNBC, Yahoo News, Miami Herald, and others almost immediately pounced reporting Hutchinson's claims was a fact.
Let me be absolutely clear.
There never was any such phone call.
I have never spoken to Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, not on that day or any other day.
Never communicated with him at all.
In fact, I think I met him once in a green room at Fox.
Check with General Flynn.
He didn't either.
So it's abundantly clear that Cassidy Hutchinson lied under oath, coached by Liz Cheney to do so.
Then she went back and tried to change her testimony, which can only be done under extraordinary circumstances, to try to avoid what is clearly a perjury charge heading her way.
This is justice.
I'm glad to see it.
It may be an example that we're moving away from the two-tiered justice system in which there are different rules for those who support Donald Trump than there are for those who oppose him.
You're listening to the Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, and we'll be right back.

Britain Forgetting Its Heroes00:04:50
Roger Stone was persecuted.
People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst now.
Give him a zone.
It's the Stone Zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
You know, you can't make this stuff up.
The Bank of England is now facing serious backlash after announcing plans to remove Winston Churchill and other historic British figures from the nation's banknotes, replacing them with images of wildlife such as hedgehogs, badgers, and otters.
The proposal follows a public consultation which drew a mere 44,000 responses, with about 60% of the people reportedly favoring nature themes over some of the nation's greatest statesmen and women.
Under the current plan, notes that now feature Churchill on the $5 pound note, Jane Austen on the 10 pound note, J.M.W. Turner at the 20-pound note, and Alan Turing on the 50-pound note would eventually be replaced by designs highlighting British wildlife and landscapes.
King Charles III will remain on the front of the notes.
This move is obviously another example of Britain's woke institutions erasing their own history as Britons are replaced by foreigners being imported from the third world.
It's not incidental.
This is happening in a country where free speech has essentially completely disappeared.
The reason this is concerning, of course, is because all of our foundational documents, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, all of this based on the Magna Carta and the British system.
But the First Amendment still, at least obstinately, exists here.
It no longer exists in England.
If you criticize anyone who is Islamic for any reason whatsoever, despite the circumstances or your age, you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted.
This is hard to believe that this is happening in jolly old England, but it is.
Conservative leaders blasted the idea of making these changes in their money as absurd and disrespectful to the figures who shaped Britain and defended freedom during its darkest hours.
Former business minister Kevin Hollenrake called the plan bonkers, arguing that banknotes should honor historical giants who shaped the nation.
Former business secretary Sir Jacob Rees Mogg mocked the proposal as unserious, joking that if animals replace Churchill, what's next?
Squirrels running the economy?
Replacing Churchill, the wartime leader who helped defeat Nazi Germany with pictures of wildlife is more than a design choice.
To me, it's a troubling symbol of a nation being encouraged to forget the very heroes who defended its freedom.
If the Bank of England wanted to use their currency to celebrate modern Britain, perhaps they could commission a note showing vicious Pakistani predators roaming the streets looking for sexual assault victims and then law enforcement looking the other way for fear of looking racist.
Those are the fruits of this new multicultural Britain after all.
But when I spoke earlier about the Italian American Civil Rights League, the voluntary nonprofit that I belong to, it was exactly with this kind of thing in mind.
They seek to erase our past.
It doesn't matter whether you're an Irish American or an Italian American or a Greek American.
They seek to erase the past of all of the immigrants who came to this country and made it great and replace it with this DEI woke philosophy.
Britain is where we are headed.
Canada is also there, Canada where today, if you own a firearm, you have to register that fact with the government.
That's the first step.
The second step I think we all recognize is confiscation.
Canada has also adopted a number of these anti-free speech laws and regulations.
It's hard to recognize them as coming from the same wellspring of democracy that this country has come from.
We'll be keeping an eye on this, but think about what would happen if they removed George Washington from our $1 bill or Abraham Lincoln from our $5 bill or Benjamin Franklin from the $50 bill, because that is where they would like to head.
