Roger Stone.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the Stone Zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
And I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone here this evening on the Stone Zone.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to speak with you.
Yeah, this Justin Fairfax story, the former lieutenant governor of Virginia, definitely a personal story, a tragic personal story, family story.
Certainly not saying it's not that.
It certainly is that.
But, folks, this is a story that we need to pay attention to because I believe that Justin Fairfax and what happened to him this morning and his family, for those of you who didn't hear the story, murder suicide.
Justin Fairfax murdered his wife and then later used the same firearm to kill himself in their home in Annandale, Virginia.
That's Northern Virginia.
Fairfax was the lieutenant governor when Ralph Northam, remember him? Was the Democrat governor of Virginia.
Justin Fairfax was also a Democrat.
Remember, they have separate elections for governor and lieutenant governor in Virginia.
They don't run as a ticket.
So you can sometimes have a split ticket, although I don't split government there.
I don't think that's happened, though, for a very long time.
But anyway, this guy was the lieutenant governor.
And if you may also recall, there was a moment there in 2019 when it looked like he might become governor any day now.
And that's what I want to talk about.
And I want to talk about the way.
The Democrat Party has become a national entity.
It's become like the Supreme Soviet.
It's become a party that controls Democrats from Dogcatcher on up.
And this is not how our constitutional republic was put together for a supreme party, like in a parliamentary system or a Soviet system.
It wasn't created this way.
Our founding fathers understood a couple of things, to say the least.
That's an understatement.
And one of the things they understood is that personality was still important.
The human behind these decisions.
Are you listening, AI people?
The human behind our governing positions and decisions was important.
And they wanted to have that human aspect, that personal aspect of a monarch without the absolute power of a monarch.
And I think they did pretty well in creating that for our country in the Constitution, from the president down to some of the other positions and elected positions.
And it created a nation where there was national accountability a lot of the time, but also, very importantly, local accountability.
And the great Tip O'Neill.
The longtime Speaker of the House, Democrat, put it best when he said, All politics is local.
And when he was alive, and when he was Speaker of the House, and he was a power in the Democratic Party, that was true.
I don't believe it's true anymore in the Democratic Party.
And that's much to everyone's grief right now.
So, how does this have anything to do with what happened with Justin Fairfax?
Well, let me get into the details of this.
It's important to understand these details.
See if this sounds familiar to you, folks.
Justin Fairfax, throughout his career, there were accusations among people in the know that he had had maybe some issues with women, with sexual misconduct.
Sound familiar?
Nobody made an issue out of it, though.
Publicly, that publicly, hugely in the public eye.
The news media didn't get into it.
It wasn't front and center for him politically, and on and on down the line.
Enter 2019, and Ralph Northam, the Democrat governor of Virginia, who also happened to be an MD, gets caught with pictures from his medical school yearbook, Eastern Virginia Medical Center, steps away from the house I lived in as a preteen adolescent.
Turns out he had some pictures in his yearbook in a Klan's outfit, blackface, the whole thing.
It's not looking good for Ralph Northam.
You might remember this story.
This wasn't that long ago, folks, seven years ago.
Come on, but you have to have a little bit of a longer memory.
I know if I'm speaking to my colleagues in the news media, you probably forgot about it because the news media has the worst memory of them all.
But you probably listening to this remember this story.
Well, it looked like there for a moment, for a few days, like Northam was cooked.
And that would have meant then Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax would be the governor of Virginia.
I. Checked and rechecked the order of succession.
And it's obviously the lieutenant governor.
That wasn't a hard stretch.
I knew that.
I was wondering who came after him in Virginia.
According to Virginia law, it's the statewide elected attorney general, who was also a Democrat at the time, by the way.
Anyway, and suddenly as Ralph Northam is teetering on the edge, these accusations come out against Justin Fairfax.
Very well put together.
Again, does this sound familiar?
Very well publicized.
Interviews with some of the accusers.
Spit and polish.
Really good job of getting this whole story out there.
All of a sudden.
All of a sudden, and why did that happen?
Because the Democratic Party, the DNC powers that be, didn't want to lose Ralph Northam.
They found him to be more valuable than Justin Fairfax for a number of reasons.
And it may have been because Ralph Northam, as an MD turned Democrat governor, had just recently, before that scandal broke with him, turned out he had come out all in favor of absolutely no restrictions on abortions at all, nine months plus.
And I think it was pretty well understood.
From those of us who understand this issue and how to play politics in America, that was worth his weight in gold.
He was worth his weight in gold.
A former MD, I mean, he didn't get stripped of his MD's license, a doctor, elected Democrat.
And by the way, doesn't it always feel like former MDs, former full time MDs are always Republicans?
I know there's some exceptions.
Ralph Northern was one of them.
So he already was valuable in that sense.
And then for him to come out against no bans, nine months, but no bans on abortions at all, I think that's what made him extremely valuable to the DNC.
They wanted him to stay as governor.
At all costs.
And if that meant cutting loose an African American young up and coming guy like Justin Fairfax by pulling the trigger on the sexual misconduct stuff that was out there for their use if they ever wanted to, then so be it.
And I'll say the same thing about him as I said about Eric Swalwell on this program a couple of nights ago.
I have no idea whether those accusations against him were true or not about the sexual misconduct.
I don't know.
Gun to my head sounds somewhat credible, but that doesn't matter.
I'm not on a jury.
I haven't seen any evidence, and neither have 99.99% of you.
I don't know if it's true or not, but here's what I do know is true.
Just like with the Eric Swalwell situation, the coordinated effort to get those accusations out there against him was just that a very well coordinated, Well funded effort.
It worked beautifully.
Suddenly, everything started to just become a waiting game.
The folks who wanted Ralph Northern and his people to stay in office just had to wait it out.
They waited it out.
They got a big distraction.
Sure enough, there's always another distraction looming.
And I think in this case, the distraction was the impeachment stuff against President Trump, the first impeachment, which we will talk about in the next segment.
And Northern was able to stay in office until all the way until.
January 2022.
I mean, he really stuck it out.
So, you know, folks, this sounds familiar to me.
This is a playbook that they just reenacted with Eric Swalwell.
And that's one of the really frustrating things about political groups, in this case, the Democratic Party.
It's like they just have a regular MO for getting rid of people.
They don't even try anything new, they just try the same old nonsense.
It's cumbersome.
I find it annoying.
And it's really not the way this country was established.
It's very important, again, and in this era of AI, I think it's doubly important for all of us to understand the importance of this, of how our Constitution was put together, not just for the office of the presidency, but for our elected leaders.
Our founding fathers very wisely wanted real humans with real personal accountability, but real personal experiences to make our decisions.
They just didn't want them to have full.
Absolute power.
They wanted basically accountable kings, much more accountable than the king of Britain had become, even after Magna Carta in 1215, that put some clamps on the king's power.
We had much more, certainly, we have much more clamps on our sort of virtual king's power, whether it's a president or governor, et cetera, et cetera.
The idea that some unaccountable party.
And yes, there are some elected members of the Democratic Party who run the DNC, people like Nancy Pelosi, but there's also people who are not elected and work behind the scenes, like David Axelrod.
The idea that we would have a party with a party marching orders that you can't march away from, even if you know your people in your district aren't going to like it, is not the way our Constitutional Republic was set up.
A great example of this is illegal immigration.
You know, one of the Democrats. 40 years ago, who stood up against illegal immigration and did it very, very loudly.
Robert O'Rourke Sr., better O'Rourke's father.
He was the city manager of El Paso, which in El Paso government is really more important than mayor.
And he made a big stink in 1986 against the Reagan administration's amnesty for illegal aliens because the city of El Paso was bleeding money in its hospitals and its schools.
And he very famously sent an itemized bill to the White House.
He was a big celebrity among the left for doing that.
They even put him on 60 Minutes.
He got on the front page of the New York Times back when being against illegal immigration was something Democrats were okay with.
But I'm not here to talk about.
The border.
I'm just here to talk about how here was someone who was dealing with his local issue for his people and standing out for it.
He wasn't going to call the National Democratic Party and say, Can I do this?
Because even then, even though the Democrats had a lot of people who were against illegal immigration, there still were a lot of people within the Democratic Party powers, although they weren't as strong as they are now, who were in favor of more open borders.
Most notably, Jesse Jackson, who felt strong enough about it that when he ran for president the second time in 1988, just two years later, Made open borders a big part of his campaign, and he got some traction with that among the left.
He was ahead of his time on that for the left.
I don't like that policy at any time, but for the left, he was a little ahead of his time on that one.
Anyway, that's one example.
In New York City, you had people like Mayor Koch who stood up against President Carter on a number of occasions during their overlap.
Ed Koch was mayor from 1978 until 1991, early 92.
Right, sorry, 1990.
Sorry, 1978 until January 1st, 1990.
And so he had a few years where Jimmy Carter was the president, where he had a Democrat president and he often feuded with him.
Mario Cuomo was an outspoken Democrat, often bucking his party.
And then if you go back really further into the 70s, he had people like Scoop Jackson, Henry Scoop Jackson, as a senator, Frank Church.
These were Democrats who thought independently and were part of that all politics is local understanding.
But we don't have that now.
You've got to be in step with what the party wants.
And if the party feels that you're losing an election, like they felt with Eric Swalwell, they're going to cut you loose.
They're not just going to cut you loose, though.
Harold Ramos on Europe00:05:38
They're going to smear you.
And whatever you think of Eric Swalwell, you certainly don't hope he ends up like Justin Fairfax because there were innocent people involved.
The children of this couple, I mean, God help those children.
This wife he killed.
We don't want Eric Swalwell to spiral to that level because there's innocent people involved, folks.
But this is what happens when you cut people loose in the MO that the Democratic Party has shown.
When I heard about this with Justin Fairfax, I immediately emailed my coworkers and said, There's a lot of parallels here between Justin Fairfax and Eric Swallow.
I hope you see them.
And so I decided to enumerate them for you right now because it's important that we do that.
Now, in our next segment, believe it or not, I'm going to go over and talk about some stuff going on in Europe.
Usually, Europe is a snoozer, but I have a laugh and I have some good news from two different parts of Europe right now.
You're not going to want to miss it.
I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone.
This is the Stone Zone.
Come right back with us.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
And he's a great, great person, Roger Stone.
The Stone Zone. The Stone Zone.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the Stone Zone.
A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.
Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
Roger Stone.
Where's Roger Stone?
Here's Roger Stone.
And I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone tonight on The Stone Zone.
I want to start with a piece of good news from Europe for a change and a little bit of a mea culpa on my part.
When I saw That Viktor Orban had been defeated pretty roundly, pretty soundly, as they say, in the Hungarian elections a couple of days ago.
And they said it was a center right candidate who won.
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've heard that before.
Every time a conservative person gets defeated, they put up someone who's really a far leftist, but they put the wolf in sheath's clothing.
They say, oh, this is a moderate.
Look what happened.
Speaking of Virginia, we were talking about Virginia in the previous segment.
That's what they were telling us about Abby Spanberger.
Turns out she's far to the left of Mao Zedong.
With all the things she's doing.
So they told me about this Peter Magyar.
It's like, well, he's really, he's not so bad.
I thought to myself, you know what?
Before we know it, they're going to have open borders in Hungary.
They're going to do.
Well, it looks like I was wrong, and I hope I remain wrong about this guy.
Oh, sometimes I love being wrong because that's when you get the real clarity.
This Peter Magyar, who's the new leader of Hungary, has done a couple of things just in the last, oh, I don't know, 20 hours that are very encouraging.
First, he went on state TV and pulled a justifiable Trump, your fake news type of moment.
Reminded the state TV interviewers that this channel, that that channel had smeared him, smeared his family, and that he's going to pull the state funding because all the, you know, all those channels in here, they're all state funded.
I know there's some exceptions, but in general, they are.
So that was a lovely moment.
And then more importantly, he gave a speech today talking about how not only is he going to keep the borders secure in Hungary, but he's going to keep them even more secure than Orban does.
And I don't know if he's going to do that or not, but hey, I am encouraged by him.
All right, now, I promised you a victory from Europe and also a laugh.
Do you remember this scene from the movie Stripes?
This is cut one.
There's a couple of questions that I have to ask you.
They're a little personal.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor?
That's robbery, rape, car theft, that sort of thing.
Convicted.
never convicted.that's good.
good.are either of you homosexuals?
You mean like flaming or?
Well, it's a standard question we have to ask.
No, we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.
Yeah, would they send us someplace special?
That's from the movie Stripes.
Now, why am I playing that clip?
Because the BBC today revealed in a report from the BBC, I guess they decided to be real journalists there for a moment, that the British government for years has been advising people who are just trying to get into the country.
Add to their migrant problems.
They've been advising them to say that they are gay or lesbian so that they can get refugee status.
They can get that kind of immunity because they say, hey, if I went back home, I would be persecuted.
So if you're trying to be a migrant in Britain, legal or illegal, tell them that you're not gay.
But as Harold Ramos, the late Harold Ramos, say, you're willing to learn.
We'll be right back with more on The Stone Zone.
This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
Prosecuting Trump's Comments00:14:39
Roger Stone, who's a very, very one of the smartest political minds.
Roger Stone was persecuted.
People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the Stone Zone.
Here's Roger Stone.
And I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone this evening.
It's April 16th, Thursday night.
And obviously, another story that you're not going to hear on the mainstream media.
And by the way, this is a big mistake by the mainstream media from a business standpoint.
They are not covering these incredible revelations brought to us by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, telling us all about the machinations, the conniving, the contrivance of the 2019 impeachment case against Donald Trump.
You know, the whole perfect phone call thing with Ukraine.
By the way, let's start first with going back all those years and their choice of quote unquote scandal to try to nail Donald Trump.
I mean, talk about a convoluted charge.
I mean, most people don't even understand what that meant.
Wait, he said something to.
Zelensky about helping him in the election, but then he just moved on.
It was just another one of those kind of Trump comments.
Wait, we're impeaching him over that?
You know, if you want to have a strong impeachment case, you got to have blood, money, or DNA evidence.
You need Monica's party dress, you need somebody dead, or you got to have payoffs to someone like the Watergate burglars or something.
I mean, even then, you know, it may be contrived, but at least it's understandable.
No one knew what that was all about.
But we found out from these documents released by Tulsi Gabbard that the whole thing was made up.
They had a fake whistleblower.
They had someone who made an accusation, then recanted.
They used the wrong forms.
They based it all on hearsay, which they're not supposed to do.
I mean, and on and on down the line.
Now, of course, you say, well, of course, the mainstream media is not going to cover it because this makes Trump look good and makes them look bad for making a big deal out of it.
That's not the mainstream media isn't running for office.
They're running for clicks, they're running for eyeballs, they're running for ratings.
So if they want to spin it, which would be dishonest, but if they, nothing new for them, if they want to spin it as Gabbard came up with some cherry picked documents.
To try to clear Trump.
Oh my God, look what he's doing.
Look what she's doing.
Even that would be better.
But they're ignoring it entirely.
That's a clickable story, folks.
That's an interesting story, and they're not doing it.
That's one of my biggest pet peeves.
Not necessarily the partisanship, which we all expect, not necessarily the pushing and attacking of Trump supporters.
It's all bad, but it's when a business doesn't act like a business.
It just really bothers me.
It gets me to the point where I wonder, like, well, what's the point of this entity?
If they're not really out to make money and expand their business, in this case, expand their viewerships and readerships.
And I've talked about this before.
But the problem here, of course, let's just get back to the scandal now.
So that's my pet peeve.
Of course, the biggest pet peeve I have, and it's much more than a pet peeve.
The thing that's really scary about this, folks, is that whether it's Letitia James coming up with charges against Trump that no one has ever cared about in the first place, the appraisals of Donald Trump's property and that ridiculous, what was it, a couple million dollars assessment for Mar a Lago, it's a very massively valuable property.
Or if it's something like this, where they're basically breaking the law.
To try to use the law against somebody like they did with Donald Trump in this first impeachment case.
And this reminds me of one of the most powerful scenes in modern cinema.
It's a movie called A Man for All Seasons, an incredible, incredible film, starring Paul Schofield as Sir Thomas More.
It was written by Robert Bolt, who was a great playwright and a great screenwriter.
He also wrote Lawrence of Arabia, which was a bear, by the way, to try to turn those books into a screenplay.
Anyway, in that movie, And I'm going to play this quote for you because it's really a powerful quote.
In that movie, Moore's own son in law and family want him to arrest somebody who they think is plotting against Thomas Moore, even though they don't have solid evidence.
But they want him to be arrested.
This is cut two.
Here's how Thomas Moore, played by Paul Schofield, responds.
Come!
And go he should if he were the devil himself until he broke the law.
So, now you'd give the devil the benefit of the law.
Yes, what would you do?
Cut a great road through the law to get after the devil?
Yes!
I'd cut down every law in England to do that.
Oh?
And when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, man's laws, not God's.
And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
Yes, I give the devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake.
Now, why did I play that?
Because the left, whether they admit this or not, and very often they do, they're not even ashamed.
They think that Donald Trump is the devil.
The person they should stop no matter what, no matter what cost.
And so, like the son in law, Sir Thomas More, played by Michael Redgrave, who was the famous Redgrave acting family.
He's still alive.
Of course, he's a crazy lefty.
But anyway, he makes the point that I would cut down every law in England to get to the devil.
And Sir Thomas More makes it clear you cut down every law, what are you going to do when the devil turns around on you and all the laws are flat?
Where are you going to hide?
You burn down the laws of a society so that you can get at the person that you think is the devil, and you think that that's going to save you, and you think the fact that you want to live in a world with no laws, no rules, you've made a mockery of our court system.
They made a mockery of the impeachment process.
They made a mockery of the civil courts here in New York, and on and on down the line.
And where does that leave us?
Whether you're a law abiding citizen or not, now we have no protections for anything.
Where does it leave the people who went after Donald Trump?
Now they're getting prosecuted.
I think that they're being prosecuted or at least investigated lawfully, but they probably don't think that.
And who's to blame for that?
Yes, we hate the devil.
We want to be against evil people and all that kind of stuff.
But if we destroy the law to get after the devil, he wins.
He's not going anywhere.
Evil isn't going anywhere until the end of days.
I don't know what religion you're a member of, but I don't know of anyone who's naive to think that evil is going to just be eradicated.
There's no ring of power to throw into Mount Doom and to get rid of all evil.
We don't have that in our, that's not how it works.
It worked great in Lord of the Rings.
Great concept, but evil isn't in our power to eradicate on earth, and so we need laws.
And we have laws that are good sometimes, laws that need to be amended, but we need to have respect for law.
And you can't have states, for example, that say, Well, there's one law that we're not going to keep in other words, the law of citizenship.
If you are a society and you say that one law is on the books that you're not going to adhere to without legally getting rid of that law, then no law, then you're not a legal society at all, then you are a lawless society.
You don't get to choose.
You don't get to choose in that way.
Either you respect all the law or there's no respect for the law at all.
And this impeachment, these impeachment revelations, and I should put a little asterisk next to the word revelations because there were people who reported this at the time.
People at the Federalist, for example.
I believe Sean Davis is one of them who had this right when it happened seven years ago.
So I want to give them credit for that.
But these documents now prove to my satisfaction, and yeah, it's possible that Tulsi Gabbard has cherry picked a document or two.
If they want to play that game, if the Democrats want to play that game, let them play it.
But clearly they don't care.
They're not even really defending themselves against any of this, which is maybe the most frightening thing of all.
They don't even care.
They don't even care that now the documents are out there to prove that this whole thing was contrived in the first place.
And again, you don't have to like Donald Trump to see this.
You don't have to like him.
You don't have to support his policies, but this is the way you want to go after him.
Now, there are some people who will delude themselves and tie themselves into a pretzel to say, no, no, no, they didn't do anything wrong.
They worked very hard on existing laws.
Everything was kosher with what Letitia James did here in these cases in New York and then with the impeachment stuff.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It's in some ways unprecedented, but completely legal.
Listen, if you want to tie yourself in that pretzel, good luck.
Good luck.
It's just not the way it works.
These people, it's like they lost a chess match, they lost the 2016 election, and they did more than flip the chessboard over.
That's an analogy you've heard a lot.
And it's not a bad one, but it's not good enough.
They haven't just flipped the chessboard over, they've set the entire game room on fire, injuring themselves in the process and injuring all of us in the process.
I'm not a fool, I'm not a prude, I'm not a Pollyanna.
I know our laws are flawed.
I never believed that we had a perfect meritocracy in this country or a perfect legal system.
I've been a huge critic, for example, of the federal courts where everyone seems to get convicted almost all the time.
That's not normal.
I don't think that people who go through the federal court system often get a fair shake.
I mean, I got plenty of criticisms of our legal system, okay?
But this was a deliberate attempt to crap all over it.
Many times just so they could get Trump.
Get Trump.
Go after the devil himself.
I would cut down every law in England to get after the devil himself.
Okay, good for you.
What do you got after that?
You got nothing.
And you end up with a completely lawless society.
And you think, oh, I did the right thing by going after Donald Trump, and that was the most important thing.
And first of all, you didn't get him, he's president again.
So you failed anyway.
You're like the kamikaze pilots that landed into the ocean 10 feet before the battleship.
You blew it.
You destroyed yourself for nothing.
But we're feeling the pain from this.
We're feeling the pain from this because the legal system now is less trusted than ever before.
Just like these fools, and I'll make one other analogy that's actually a real thing that happened.
These fools who insisted on calling these COVID injections a vaccine.
To me, it was an incredible stretch to call it that.
And the first thing I said when they did that, I said, well, you better come up with another name for it because when this doesn't work, and it didn't, Everybody's going to now doubt every vaccine, whether it's for chickenpox or smallpox or polio.
And that's exactly what happened.
And there were people who were doubting vaccines before, and there were some questions about the manufacturing standards.
I'm not saying that that wasn't happening, but actually, before COVID, some of the loudest vaccine skepticism had actually passed through our system here in our society.
It was 10 years before that with Jenny McCarthy and a bunch of other people who had really thrown doubt on vaccines.
And it just had moved through the system.
It wasn't at a high level.
It wasn't at a high watermark anymore, but they brought it back with a vengeance because they insisted on calling it a vaccine and making promises that didn't make any sense.
Same here.
They've ruined the whole notion of a legal system and a check and imbalance on a president by screwing with the impeachment process.
It'll never be, it's not resurrected, it can't be resurrected.
It may be after 100 years.
It's going to be a long time before we can resurrect it.
And also screwing with the whole legal process in the first place.
Let's indict Donald Trump.
Give me the man and I'll find the crime.
How can anyone trust the system after this?
And of course, it's going to come back to hit almost everyone who was involved in it.
They'll have charges drummed up against them, too.
You'll see.
All right, I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone this evening.
We got one more segment coming back.
Got some humor.
We can't all be didactic the whole time.
I got some humor from Ronald Reagan and a little bit of a crazy comment when we come back.
This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
He likes politics and he's a professional at the highest level.
Roger Stone.
Where's Roger? is the Stone Zone.
Now, get in the zone.
It's the Stone Zone.
A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.
Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
Roger Stone.
Where's Roger Stone?
Here's Roger Stone.
And I'm Jake Novak filling in for Roger Stone here on this Thursday evening.
I promised you some smiles, but you're going to have to wait just a second.
I'm still going to bring it.
But I got some breaking news for you.
Not a huge surprise.
Annalelia Mejia winning that special election in New Jersey to fill Mikey Sherrill's seat in New Jersey.
She beat Joe Hathaway, who was the mayor of Randolph Township.
They've already called the election.
Mejia is a person who has accused Israel of genocide, which is a blood libel.
She also did a soundbite a couple of days ago where she said, Well, if I have to be accused of being an anti Semite, I guess that's okay.
This is who Montclair is, and Montclair is a big part of this district.
A lot of Jewish voters in that area who their real religion has now become, at least for those kinds of people, the Democratic Party and far left progressism.
And it's not because they really believe in it, it's because they hate Trump.
There have been a number of elections in the Northeast, especially, where the candidate who clearly hates Trump the most is the one who wins.
That's how Zoran Momdani won here in New York City.
Dare Tell Tax Lies00:05:43
Sorry.
Every one of the other Democrats running kept talking about how they were going to be tough on Trump.
But everyone could take one look at Zoran Momdani and what he was advocating and knew that Trump was the one who was.
He was going to hate Trump the most.
Same thing here in her primary, her battle to get this seat.
Now, she'll have to run again in November, but she'll have the inside track there.
Don't believe the mainstream media reports are going to say this is a big rebuke to Trump.
Baloney, this has been a Democrat district for a long time.
There's also going to be reports blaming it on AIPAC.
AIPAC decided to go after her because she's an anti Semite blood libel spreader, and that's helped her.
That didn't help her.
Clearly, it didn't hurt her that much, but it didn't help her.
Don't believe that stuff.
Here's another winner from the Northeast.
I say that sarcastically.
Sherelle Parker is the mayor of Philadelphia.
And she wants to impose an extra tax on you every time you use an Uber and a Lyft.
And people are upset about it because it's going to really increase the cost of traveling for a lot of people.
This was her response to you, great unwashed, for having the gall to be upset about taxes.
Cut five.
For business here.
But how dare you tell me, as mayor of this city, to tell the people in this city that we cannot and should not enact what is one of the most limited powers that we have, and that is to decide how we will drive revenue to the school district of Philadelphia.
How dare you tell me, as mayor, who we can tax?
By the way, Sherelle Parker, of course, participated in the No Kings rallies a couple weeks ago.
How dare you tell King George III not to tax your tea and stamps?
I mean, there are a lot of days that I wake up wishing I was a sixth and seventh grade social studies history teacher.
Because everything that was a little bit difficult to sort of get across to students when I was a kid learning these things, the idea of taxation, and there was really a king who thought he could tell everyone what to do, even though he had so much power.
That was a little hard to grasp as a sixth and seventh grader.
And now all I would have to do is play this kind of soundbite Hey, kids.
Here's someone who's a supposedly elected person who's saying to you, How dare you complain about a tax that I've imposed?
I mean, it couldn't be easier.
Couldn't be an easier setup.
All right.
Now I'm going to give you that promised smile.
You know, I've talked a lot about the Soviet Union in this program, how the Democrats are running their party now like a Politburo, like just a party, not any leadership.
No, all politics are local.
No representing the people in your own district and having your own little disagreements here and there with your own policies because you're trying to.
Represent your own people.
Let's remember what the Soviet Union was all about because we're seeing a lot of Soviet stuff, Soviet Union nostalgia here in New York City these days with the grocery store, the state, the city run grocery store that's going to cost $30 million and won't even be ready until 2029.
And when I saw that, I remembered this great joke from Ronald Reagan.
Remember this one?
You know, there's a 10 year delay in the Soviet Union of delivery of an automobile, and only one out of seven families in the Soviet Union own automobiles.
There's a 10-year wait, and you go through quite a process when you're ready to buy, and then you put up the money in advance.
And this happened to a fellow, and this is their story that they tell, this joke, that this man, he laid down his money, and then the fellow that was in charge said to him, okay, come back in 10 years and get your car.
And he said, morning or afternoon?
And the fellow behind the counter said, well, 10 years from now, what difference does it make?
And he said, well, the plumber's coming in the morning.
Yeah, I know it's not ready until 2029, but if you're thinking about buying food from the city owned and run grocery store here in the city, you might want to get online now.
I mean, this is yet another example of how there's just so little pride in serving the public, despite the fact that these Democrats continue to run for office saying they're for the people, they're for the poor, they're for the little guy, and then they get elected and they have no interest in actually coming through for them.
I thought that the Obamacare website, when that was rolled out, I think it was 2014, and it was basically like a third grader's MySpace page.
It was so bad and nothing was working.
I thought that that was the biggest example of what I was just talking about.
Promising this big healthcare plan, and the website was something like out of 1982 in someone's eighth grade internet lab, showing, hey, we got something called the internet here, we're going to show it to you.
I mean, it was that bad.
And it didn't work.
But apparently, they just don't care.
I mean, for the mayor with a straight face to say it's coming in 2029 and it's going to cost $30 million, and for him not to be so embarrassed about that and try to keep that quiet for longer, it just goes to show there's no interest in delivering for the people.
But I hope the Ronald Reagan joke gave you a smile.
