Roger Stone honors Chuck Norris as a conservative icon before exposing what he calls the "Russiagate hoax," alleging illegal collusion between Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, and James Comey to undermine Donald Trump. He details a new Florida grand jury investigation targeting these figures for treason and seditious conspiracy, contrasting it with failed D.C. prosecutions. Stone defends President Trump's decisive military strikes against Iran as "peace through strength" while warning of foreign drone threats near the White House. Ultimately, he argues that true justice requires accountability for deep state misconduct before the 2026 midterms to secure election integrity. [Automatically generated summary]

You are now entering the Stone Zone.
And I'm your host, Roger Stone.
Well, America has lost an enduring icon of strength, discipline, and traditional conservative values.
Legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris has died at the age of 86 following an undisclosed medical emergency in Hawaii, where he lived.
Chuck Norris, of course, was best known for his roles in Walker Texas Ranger and a long list of action films represented more than just Hollywood fame.
I think Chuck Norris embodied rugged individualism, faith, and personal responsibility.
He was an outspoken conservative at a time that that would destroy your career in woke Hollywood.
His persona was not just as an acting role.
It was something he lived every single day.
According to his family, he passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
In a heartfelt statement, his family described him not just as a global star, he was certainly that, but also as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who lived with purpose and, I would say, unwavering faith.
They emphasized the profound impact he had on millions through his career and his public character.
Just days before he passed, Norris was reportedly actively training and in good spirits, still demonstrating the toughness and resilience that defined his public image for decades.
Rising to fame alongside Bruce Lee in the 1970s, Chuck Norris built a career celebrating American strength and patriotism through films like The Delta Force, My Favorite, Missing in Action, and others.
In later years, he became a cultural phenomenon through the viral Chuck Norris facts, introducing him to an entire new generation of fans.
He also starred in the iconic Texas Walker Texas Ranger series.
It was one of my favorites.
In recent years, he became an outspoken political conservative, using his voice to fight back against America's descent into socialism.
This is a man who championed faith, family, and country without apology.
This American original who was never corrupted by the woke Hollywood system will be greatly missed.
Chuck Norris, may you rest in peace.
Mueller Investigation Bias Exposed00:15:24
Big news, of course, out of South Florida, former FBI Director James Comey, who seems to have slipped the punch in the Eastern District of Virginia when federal judges there dismissed the claims of perjury lying under oath before Congress against him, not by weighing the actual facts of the case or the evidence, but by illegally knocking out the appointment of the federal prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan.
You see, they don't want to go to trial because they know they'll lose, so they unconstitutionally ruled that Halligan's appointment by President Trump as the U.S. attorney who was prosecuting both James Comey, the former FBI director, and New York Attorney General Letitia James was illegal.
They're wrong.
That is being appealed.
But what's interesting is the misconduct of at least three federal judges now puts those three federal judges' careers in jeopardy.
House Republicans that I know on are actively working on articles of impeachment regarding the judges who incorrectly ruled and violated the canon of judicial ethics repeatedly that Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor who was prosecuting James Comey, was illegally appointed.
But this is a different investigation.
We are told by multiple reports that the former FBI director James Comey has been subpoenaed in a major new investigation examining the coordinated efforts to undermine President Donald Trump.
The subpoena issued by a federal grand jury in Florida is part of a reportedly sweeping probe into the Obama-Biden era officials tied to the origins of the Russiagate hoax.
At the center of the inquiries is the 2017 intelligence community assessment, which claimed falsely that Russia favored Trump in the 2016 election, an assertion that was later proven to be based on faulty evidence that intelligence officials knew was complete bunk, but pushed it anyway for the purposes of electoral interference.
I speak specifically, of course, of the so-called steel dossier.
That was a fake report illegally paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign, but then taken by the CIA director John Brennan, inserted in the intelligence assessment given to President Barack Obama, and that is, of course, what kicked off the Russian collusion hoax.
That now completely discredited dossier report, which by the way claimed falsely that President Donald Trump had dallied with Russian prostitutes while visiting Moscow as a private businessman, was the basis for the illegal spying on Donald Trump's campaign, was the basis for the appointment of Robert Mueller as a special investigator.
He spent $30 million and came up completely empty-handed on the question of Russian collusion.
This new investigation, which is led by U.S. Attorney Jason Redding-Conus under a Trump-appointed judge, has now issued more than 130 subpoenas signaling, I hope, a serious effort to uncover potential misconduct at the highest levels of government.
Now, why Florida, you may ask?
Well, here is the underlying legal theory.
The Russian collusion hoax was cooked up in an April 2016 meeting in the Oval Office presided over by Barack Obama himself, including Joe Biden, the CIA Director John Brennan, the FBI Director James Comey, the Director of National Intelligence General James Clapper, Susan Rice, the National Security Advisor, and others.
There, they openly discussed the quote-unquote Clinton plan.
That was a plan by John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, and Hillary Clinton himself to smear Donald Trump as having been influenced by the Russians.
That continues, of course, into the appointment of Mueller, continues into the entire Russian collusion hoax, which dominated 2017.
The two fake impeachments, both of them baseless.
That continues into what I believe was the theft of the 2020 election.
Then there was the January 6th Fed surrection, which I think most people have largely figured out was a complete and total setup.
We have Nancy Pelosi on videotape admitting as much.
Then there was the fake documents case.
And here's the key point, the raid on Mar-Lago.
That brings this continuing seditious conspiracy to Florida and to a jurisdiction which is not controlled by the radical left.
There is no point in indicting any Democrat or anyone who broke the law or the Constitution in the District of Columbia because there are no honest judges in the District of Columbia.
And one cannot possibly get a fair and balanced jury in the District of Columbia.
I can tell you all about that.
So I would say the alliance of fake news media and the deep state propelled the entire Russian collusion hoax forward.
Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, played a key role in both the FBI's cross-fire hurricane probe.
That's the counterintelligence investigation into the President of the United States, which had no basis or probable cause.
As I said, the so-called steel dossier.
Well, that was a fraud.
The other fraud is the claim that the Democrat National Committee was the target of an online hack by Russian intelligence.
I say it yet again.
The U.S. government at my trial or at no other time has ever produced any forensic evidence that proved that this actually happened.
In fact, if one looks at the evidence, the information that was stolen by someone from the Democrat National Committee was downloaded to a portable drive and taken out the back door.
We know this because the download times demonstrate that this could not have been an online hack.
Comey is also tied to the broader Russian collusion hoax that unfortunately dominated President Trump's first term and undermined his America First agenda.
The entire crew here, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Biden, Rice, and others, most Americans want to know whether they will be held accountable.
You see, the Democrats in their handmaidens in the mainstream legacy media keep claiming that this is about political retaliation and revenge by Donald Trump.
In other words, anytime a Democrat or someone involved in the Biden or Obama administrations are held accountable for violating the law, they scream that it is retribution and retaliation when in fact it is just accountability and justice.
Great piece by my good friend Miranda Devine in the New York Post, I believe it was yesterday, outlining the way that the Mueller investigation was unduly biased and partisan, and also the way they cut corners and destroyed lives.
This is long overdue accountability for heinous abuses of power and a weaponized federal bureaucracy.
This needs to be end, in my opinion, in charges of seditious conspiracy, and that means treason.
The longer we delay, the more likely that these deep state individuals like Comey will not be held culpable.
Time has come to lock them up, or at least at a minimum, put them on trial, a fair trial, unlike the one that I received in D.C., and lock them up.
The MAGA base expects accountability and justice.
It's very clear that the American people demand action on this.
I don't believe Republican voters and MAGA voters will be motivated to vote in 2026 midterm elections if there is no accountability.
Of course, the other big issue here is the security and the integrity of our elections.
It's very clear that the director of national intelligence, Telsi Gabbard, is actively investigating both the mail-in paper ballots that played such a crucial role in at least three of the major swing states, but also whether these electronic voting machines can be manipulated.
There is substantial evidence that they can, and that there was online manipulation from both Chinese and Venezuelan actors.
Unfortunately, there is, of course, some opposition inside the administration.
That's because I believe the Central Intelligence Agency has been using this same technology to rig foreign elections for decades, and they most likely don't want that to be investigated.
Again, if there is no accountability and no justice when it comes to the Russian collusion hoax, and we do not have free, fair, honest elections, well, it won't matter how strong the economy is.
It won't matter how many peace deals the president makes.
Those are two absolute requirements in order for Republicans to win in 2026.

The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
And we're back in the Stone Zone.
President Donald Trump issued a stark warning Wednesday night signaling that the United States will not tolerate continued aggression from Iran against key energy infrastructure in the Middle East.
The president stated that if Iran persists in targeting Qatari facilities, he would consider decisive action, including the potential destruction of Iran's South Pars gas field, one of the largest natural gas reserves on earth.
The warning comes amid rising tensions following an Israeli strike on that same field, which Trump described as limited in scope and carried out independently without prior U.S. knowledge or approval.
According to Trump, Iran responded recklessly, launching a retaliatory strike against Qatar, one of America's strongest allies and a critical player in the global energy market.
In his truth social statement that day, President Trump said no more attacks will be made by Ismail pertaining to this extremely important and valuable Pars field, unless, of course,
Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar, in which instance the United States, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars gas field at an amount of strength and power that the Iranians have never seen or witnessed before.
The president has very clearly emphasized that he does not seek further conflict.
He made clear that the United States stands ready to act if Iran continues down this dangerous path.
He also showed that, contrary to popular propaganda narratives circulating from clip-baiting podcasters and aggrieved former administration members, the U.S. is no puppet to Israel.
We are conducting our military operations in Iran to put America first, and if Israel wants to go rogue in a way that does not help our interests, they will not have our support.
It is abundantly clear here that the resignation of Joe Kent, who claimed falsely that Iran posed no imminent danger to the United States, completely and totally contradicts his own statements under oath less than a year ago when he was confirmed for his position as the head of the Center for Counterterrorism.
He may be getting his 15 minutes in the sun.
I'm sure he's got a lot of high-level podcast and television interviews, but he's going to have to reconcile what he said then and what he said now.
As for me, I'm a non-interventionist.
I don't like war, but I also trust Donald Trump to make the right decisions about protecting the United States.
The Iranian state is one of evil.
The brutality against their own people could no longer be tolerated.
And there is no question that they said themselves at the negotiating table they had enough enriched Iranium to mount 11 nuclear devices to attack the United States.
That is unacceptable.
And that is why I'm glad Donald Trump and not Barack Obama is president.
You see, when the Iranians threatened Obama, he sent them billions of dollars, not to mention pallets more of cash that were never disclosed to the American people.
Those days are over.
Donald Trump means what he says and says what he means.
We all pray for a quick resolution to this conflict because, well, Trump is not about endless foreign war.
Let me point out, no boots on the ground, no mass American casualties, and not billions more in defense contractors.
I'm Roger Stone.
You're listening to The Stone Zone, and we'll do it right now.
The Stone Zone.

You are jumping headlong into the deep end of the Stone Zone.
And I'm Roger Stone.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says the United States is making decisive progress in its military campaign against Iran with clear objectives focused on protecting American security and preventing future threats.
Speaking directly to the American people, Secretary of War Hegseth emphasized that the mission remains unchanged, and that is to eliminate Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons, dismantle its missile launch capabilities, cripple its defense industry, and neutralize its naval forces.
Hegseth Announces War on Iran00:06:12
For those who say that this is inconsistent on what Donald Trump ran on, they need to take a better look.
Donald Trump has said since 1988 that it would be unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear device and he would bomb them.
He was actually used more colorful language than that.
Secretary of War Hegseth made it very clear that the goals he outlines are being executed on target and on plan.
Hegseth also pushed back on what he called a hostile and dishonest media environment, accusing anti-Trump outlets of downplaying military success while exaggerating setbacks.
He urged Americans to look past the noise and recognize the results on the ground.
According to our Pentagon, U.S. forces have already struck more than 7,000 targets tied to Iran's military infrastructure.
Hegseth described the campaign as overwhelming forced applied with precision, noting that each successive wave of strikes has grown in scale and in effectiveness as Iran's capabilities continue to deteriorate.
Hegseth also drew comparisons between Iran's tactics and those used by terrorist groups, accusing that brutal regime of exploiting civilian resources to fund military operations.
Military leaders echoed confidence in the mission, highlighting the bravery of U.S. service members carrying out complex operations under dangerous conditions.
Regardless of how you feel about the war effort, what is clear is the Trump administration is not repeating the failures of the past.
They've learned from the feudal nation-building efforts of the Bushes, the Clintons, the Obamas, and the Bidens.
They are pummeling the target, achieving the mission, and then getting out with the message being sent that terrorist regimes in the Middle East are not long for this world.
In other words, this is the more limited, focused, yet incredibly lethal use of American power.
Once again, no boots on the ground, not tens or 20s or 30,000 American casualties, and no big ramp up in defense spending and huge contracts like those given to Halliburton during the Iraq war.
This is very different.
This is not neoconism.
This is peace through strength.
This is how an America first foreign policy works.
Not by retreating from obstacles, but through confronting them, but doing so in a limited and targeted way, spending as little blood and treasure as possible while doing so.
This is a philosophy that really begins with Dwight Eisenhower, carried out by Ronald Reagan and now by Donald Trump.
We call it peace through strength.
The president demonstrates an extraordinary level of support.
If you go online and you look at these various social media platforms, you would believe that there are deep divisions in the Trump movement and in the MAGA wing of the Republican Party.
Unfortunately, most of that is just talk.
All of the latest polling shows that President Donald Trump's support among his base, and trust me, after 50 years in politics, I can tell you base is everything.
The president's support remains rock solid, with the president's supporters overwhelmingly supporting his actions in Iran.
Even CNN has been forced to admit that this is the case.
In fact, according to a recent survey, polling highlighted by CNN analyst Harry Anton, 100% of self-identified MAGA voters approve of President Trump with zero disapproval.
This result reflects an unprecedented level of unity among the president's core base, who fully trust him, as I do, to do the right thing when it comes to domestic and foreign policy.
The poll also showed that 30% of Americans now identify as MAGA supporters.
That's an increase from late 2024, signaling expanding grassroots momentum despite relentless media disinformation and criticism and the relentless infighting attempts from some of the social media pannikins.
The data suggests that President Trump's America First agenda continues to resonate strongly with millions of Americans who prioritize strength abroad and stability at home.
Now it is worth noting that the Republican Party will have to appeal to independents to win the midterms.
This is where much of the outreach will have to be tailored.
But the base will not be a problem.
And that is significant.
When Gerald Ford was challenged by Ronald Reagan in 1976, when Jimmy Carter was challenged by Senator Ted Kennedy in 1980, it is because they had dissension within their base.
There is no dissension within Donald Trump's base.
It is rock solid.
President Trump has millions of Americans who have seen him endure as part of his quest to save America.
They saw him take a bullet for his country and stand up and yell, fight, fight, fight.
They're locked in with Donald Trump as their champion.
I'm proud to put myself in that same category as one of those Americans who refused to fold when sometimes turbulent path towards national real made my life and the life of my family extraordinarily difficult.
I have no regrets whatsoever.
We will ensure that MAGA will endure for generations to come, and I still predict that Donald Trump will preside over a golden age in America, an unprecedented age of peace, prosperity, justice, and law and order.
Trump Movement Unity Against Fear00:07:34
Meanwhile, I do have some concerns because mystery drones have been found at the Army base housing two of the Trump administration's top officials.
Security concerns seem to be rising in the nation's capital after multiple unidentified drones were spotted near a sensitive U.S. military installation, highlighting growing threats tied to escalating tensions with Iran.
According to the reports, several drones were detected near Fort Leslie J. McNair, Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., a key facility that houses senior military leadership and reportedly top administration officials, including evidently Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and their families who reside on the military base for security reasons.
While authorities say there is no immediate credible threat, the incident has triggered heightened vigilance across all federal agencies.
Military officials confirmed they are actively monitoring and investigating these sightings, emphasizing that protecting service members and personnel remains their top priority.
The timing is, of course, significant.
The United States is already on high alert following ongoing military operations against Iran and increasing fears, of course, of retaliation.
Iran has heavily invested in drone warfare, getting most of their drones from the communist Chinese, and has used unmanned systems through proxy forces to target U.S. troops and allies across the Middle East.
Recent attacks here underscore that danger.
An Iranian-linked drone strike earlier this month killed six U.S. service members in Kuwait, reinforcing concerns that these tactics could expand beyond overseas battlefields.
Bases across the country, including key installations in places like Florida and New Jersey, have raised their security posture, while the State Department has ordered increased protections at diplomatic sites worldwide.
Experts warn that even small, commercially available drones could pose serious risks if used maliciously.
Our military must remain on guard against all potential Iranian terrorism.
Their sleeper cells are being activated and all of us could be targets.
See something, say something.
These Islamic terrorists are only proving the point as to why they need to be taken out in the first place.
I don't think people realize the brutality of the Iranian regime that has had mass public executions of so-called dissidents.
In other words, given the situation in Iran, it takes enormous courage by any Iranian citizen to rise up and protest peacefully against the government.
We reached a critical point here where not only their habitual and historical killing of Americans, all the way back to the Marine base in 1981 under Ronald Reagan, also the attack on the USS Cole, first attack on the World Trade Center.
Now, Iran has a long history of killing Americans, and the technology here indicates that they were moving closer and closer to having a deliverable nuclear device.
President has done the right thing.
Now we must stay the course.
But once again, this is not endless foreign war.
No boots on the ground, no American casualties.
Well, a handful of American casualties.
And of course, none of the profiteering that comes normally from war.
Very different than the policies of his predecessors.
This is a fight we must win.
And don't buy this notion that you see all over social media that there are deep divisions among President Trump's supporters over the decisions he made in Iran.
The polling shows that the president's supporters remain intense and intact.
There are people, I think, who would seek to derail the movement, people, many of whom were never for Donald Trump to begin with, but now claim to be the original supporters of MAGA.
You scratch your head because, well, some folks have no sense of history.
I myself am encouraged by this news that there are new subpoenas for James Comey, one of the key provocateurs and conspirators in the Russian collusion hoax.
But then we heard months ago that John Brennan, who was the real orchestrator of the entire Russian fiasco, had been subpoenaed.
I pray these media reports are right because the American people expect accountability and justice.
No, it's not retaliation and revenge, as Peter Baker of the New York Times, one of the leading non-journalists working today.
You know, I remember when the New York Times was kind of the paper of record, they called it, the old gray lady.
Today, the New York Times is the propaganda front for the Democratic Party.
If you read it on the front page of the New York Times, to be quite candid, there's a 90-plus chance that what you're reading is completely and totally false.
As my good friend Sean Hannity often says, journalism in America is dead.
Thank God for the internet, because even though there's disinformation on the internet, there's also truth on the internet.
So we're no longer limited as we were, say, in the 1960s when we only had three television networks, a handful of national news magazines like Newsweek and Time, Life, Look.
Many of you are old enough to remember that.
But today we have a diversity of information.
See, I believe the American people can tell the truth when they see it.
I believe that free expression is crucial.
And one of the things I'm going to be talking about on my show this weekend is the way Google is manipulating data to give people the liberal point of view.
And they're doing this geographically on a targeted basis in the 20 House districts across the country that will determine which party controls Congress.
We saw this phenomenon before in 2020.
They dialed it back in 2024, but they're at it again.
A great analysis I read in Google.
So for example, if you have Gmail and you're a registered Democrat, you get three or four different reminders that you should vote.
If you're on Gmail and you're a registered Republican, well, you get none.
Perfect example of big tech cheating.
We'll be talking about that a lot more this weekend on the show.
You'll want to tune in for that.
In the meantime, I'm Roger Stone.

UFO Transparency Momentum Grows00:04:35
You're listening to the Stone Zone.
I'm Roger Stone, right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, and we'll be right back.
The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Welcome back into the Stone Zone.
I'm your host, Roger Stone.
Well, momentum is growing behind President Donald Trump's push for transparency on the subject of unidentified aerial phenomena, also known as UFOs, as new developments suggest that the administration may soon reveal decades of what the government has been hiding on the topic.
The White House has quietly registered the domain aliens.gov, signaling what could become a centralized portal for releasing declassified information on UFOs and non-human technology.
The move follows Trump's directive to make public long-hidden government files related to unexplained aerial encounters.
Reports indicate upcoming disclosures could include photos and videos of craft that defy known technology, raising serious questions about what the government has known and concealed for years.
Not long ago, I wrote about something that was in one of my books.
Jackie Gleason, the famous comedian, claimed that President Richard Nixon had taken him to a secret military facility in Homestead, Florida, where the Great One, as he was called, was actually shown evidence of UFOs and life on other planets.
That story, which was told to me by one of Gleason's ex-wives, included in my book, Nixon's Secrets, I frankly think it's entirely true.
That's why this effort reflects a broader commitment by the Trump administration for transparency, challenging the culture of secrecy that has defined Washington for decades.
Military pilots, radar operators, and intelligence officials have repeatedly told me about documented encounters with objects exhibiting capabilities far beyond current U.S. technology.
According to The Urgency, a former Air Force officer has renewed claims that unidentified craft once interfered with nuclear missile systems during the Cold War, rendering multiple weapons inoperable at a secure U.S. base.
Similar incidents have reportedly occurred near restricted military facilities, including nuclear facilities.
The administration's actions suggest a true shift towards openness and accountability when it comes to this earth-shattering revelations that may change the perception of reality for millions.
But regardless of the potential fallout, I think the public deserves to know the truth.
We used to call them flying saucers.
Today we call them UFOs.
But the American people deserve to know whether our government knows about life on other planets and the possibility that we're not the only ones existing in this universe.
Meanwhile, we hear that Chinese scientists are now using mosquitoes to spread vaccines.
controversial new proposal from Chinese scientists is testing the bounds of medical ethics with regards to bizarre vaccination experimentation.
Sound familiar?
Chinese researchers are exploring the use of mosquitoes to deliver vaccinations to bats.
In a recent study, researchers engineered mosquitoes to carry vaccinations for deadly viruses like rabies and others, transmitting them through bites or when bats consume the insects.
The goal, I guess, is to reduce the spread of dangerous diseases that originate in bat populations and can jump to humans.
Now, this project could be happening with the most notable or noble of intentions, although I rather doubt that.
But the potential undetected consequences are massive.
Releasing genetically modified or vaccination-carrying insects into ecosystems could carry unknown environmental risk, especially given the lack of any long-term data or history.
