This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

People love him and respect him, Roger Stone.

Now, get him his own.

It's the Stone Zone.

Here's Roger Stone.

Breaking news.

And I'm Jake Novak,

in for Roger Stone tonight.

And I'm going to lead off the news tonight

with some breaking news this program.

President Trump now just posting,

in the last 90 minutes or so,

that he's going to sign an executive order

to instruct Mark Wayne Mullin,

the new Department of Homeland Security Secretary

to pay those TSA agents who have gone weeks

without getting paid.

So many of them calling out six.

So many of them just outright quitting.

400 of them according to the latest reports.

They're going to be paid.

And divert, do an end run around

this partial government shutdown

that the Democrats continue to vote for.

They created and continue to vote for.

Yes.

You can bet someone will challenge this in the courts

and say the president doesn't have the authority to do it.

But if you were listening

to the Cats and Cosby program on many of these stations

a couple of hours ago,

you heard Alan Dersher would say the president

absolutely has the legal authority to do that.

I think what will

hinge this decision will really hinge on

the emergency situation declaring

an emergency that we can have

so many of our major airports

shutting down

or not unable to function.

And that would really classify

as the kind of emergency that a president can use

to go around Congress

and fund the TSA.

This would be a big deal.

And it would also, of course, force

Democrat groups. They'll probably do it

through some kind of shell group

or party, but they may,

they'll try to challenge this in court

and try to keep the airports

at this terrible situation.

Again, it's not every airport every day.

This has been something that's been a rolling situation.

Yesterday it was bad at Houston.

Today it was better.

It depends on the day and who's calling out where.

But it is too many airports, too many long lines.

The ICE agents there have done good work.

They've made it more safe.

You know, when you have large crowds and small areas

it's never safe.

So they made it more safe, but in some places

they haven't been able to get the lines moving as quickly

because there have been so many TSA agents to replace.

So this is what the president

has announced just this evening.

Also breaking news around the same time a little earlier.

President Trump telling Iran that it has

another 10 days now

until April 6th starting today

before the United States

will hit its power grid if it doesn't stop

attacking, shipping in the

before moves.

And on and on down that line.

That is the similar threat that you know

Iran was originally on the clock as of Sunday evening.

And that passed

with President Trump giving them more time.

Giving them more time again.

Probably to get some more talks going

trying to get that straight open.

So those two pieces of breaking news for you

just as we begin the stone zone here again.

I am Jake Novak again for Roger Stone.

Great honor to be here with you.

A little bit later

at the beginning of the next hour.

I'm going to tell you about a shocking poll.

Shocking poll next half hour should say.

Shocking polls on both coasts

that should have the Democrats

a little bit worried.

I know that the overall mid term polls

have been that great for Republicans.

But you know, you got to dig in a little bit deeper here.

And there's a shocking poll out of New York

and I think a shocking poll out of California.

So those are the things I want you to wait for

in the next half hour now.

We are in an America right now.

Where I could talk about every one of the next stories

I'm going to talk about.

But they all have one common thread

before I just list them off.

We are living in America now

where we are really dealing with alternative reality concepts

for a lot of Americans right now.

And that's always the case to some degree.

Of course, in any society

that rich see life different than the poor.

The educated see life different from the uneducated.

Healthy people see things differently than

unhealthy people, young old.

There's always alternative realities

in any given society.

But what we're seeing here in America right now

is a growing number of Americans

who are living in a complete deception,

a complete illusion of what reality is.

Partisanship and hatred

they often go together.

Let's face it.

Hatred is a huge motivator in elections

and in politics.

Anyone who tells you different is lying.

But partisanship and hatred

can lead to some real

delusional outlooks on life.

And I want to list

a few of those delusional outlooks

right now that are starting to get really pervasive.

And you're probably seeing it

in your circle of friends and relatives

just like I am.

I have a couple of people

in my wider circle of friends

and acquaintances

who literally believe the United States

is losing this war to Iran right now.

Now, you can say that you

wanted regime change in three, four weeks

and you haven't gotten in your upset about it.

You can say that

we haven't seen a complete uprising

in the streets of Iran yet.

You can say all those things

and say you're disappointed about that.

You wanted it to be lightning quick.

I get it. I get it.

But in no reality

in no reality whatsoever

is the United States losing this war.

Now, it's terrible that we've had some deaths.

But we're talking about fewer

than 20 deaths I believe right now.

As we go up against not only a nation

of 90 million people,

but a nation that has spent the last 47 years

focusing on killing people,

on its military,

not so much on its homeland defense.

I should say that.

But on its ability to kill people

that they believe other enemies,

which is just about everybody else.

Not just Americans,

just about everybody else.

They're shooting at everybody.

And they've been training for that,

both culturally

and practically

for almost 50 years.

And we're bombing

and shelling

and doing other types of things to Iran

hour after hour, day after day

and we've had very, very few casualties in deaths.

One is too much.

One is too many and I get that.

But the idea that we're losing this war,

and that people can actually say that

and they say it publicly,

is an absolute delusion

that's not an exaggeration.

It's a complete delusion and there are millions of Americans

who believe this.

And yet it's because of the mainstream media

feeding them all kinds of negative news all the time.

But it's also their own delusions.

Delusion number two.

Hearing this from a very highly educated person

in my wider family circle

that Trump is the reason why we have long lines

at the airports.

There's not one objective fact

that supports that statement.

The Democrats voted for this partial shutdown,

targeted the DHS

and the TSA specifically

and on numerous occasions

have continued to vote not to fund it.

How any rational

thinking human being

can think that President Trump is responsible for this

is there is no.

There is no explanation

that that is a complete delusion.

The argument is, well, he is the president

and the Republicans have control

of the House and the Senate.

So anything bad that happens

must be their fault.

That was the argument I heard.

Is ludicrous.

Without a filibuster 60

or more proof of a Senate vote

in the group in the Senate,

a minority party can

gum up the works all the time

shut down to something they can always threaten.

No objective facts

in that statement either.

Here's delusion number three.

ICE agents are making things worse

and more dangerous

at the airports.

Absolutely no truth to that whatsoever.

There have been no incidents

although I did see

a deranged person on one of the lines

who probably was not even a ticketed passenger

who just went nuts

and started yelling at ICE agents

but there was no violence.

No, they're not able to speed up the lines everywhere.

They are in some places, not in others.

But there's been no violence

and in fact, at the end of this program,

at the end of this hour, I'm going to tell you about

an amazing positive thing

and there's been a lot of amazing positive things.

But this was the big one.

An amazing positive thing.

The ICE officers have done

at an airport here in New York.

What kind of delusion is that?

They've made it unsafe.

They've made it safer.

Delusion number four.

And this is a long-running delusion.

This isn't anything new.

But now, people in the Democratic Party,

politicians are actually saying this out loud.

The mayor of Chicago, Illinois,

one of our largest and most important cities in America,

saying out loud

just this week

that putting people in jail is racist.

Really?

Because there are so many people in jail

who are minority and they outpace the percentage of the minority

in the free population.

Again, an incredible delusion.

It's actually the least racist thing you can do.

Let me ask you a question, America.

And I'll ask this question all the time.

These minority

black and Latino

and other people who are not white criminals

who have been convicted, who commit crimes.

Who do you think that they're targeting?

You think they're targeting the white people on Park Avenue?

The rich people on rodeo drive?

Black people are 12 times more likely to be the victims of crime.

Period.

It's racist to put the people who are targeting minorities in jail.

It's the other way around.

Another delusion.

And the final delusion that we're hearing in America over and over again

is that illegal aliens

are our top priority.

That's how you're going to judge our society

by how we treat illegal aliens.

Regardless of their criminal background,

regardless of their effect on the citizens of this country,

the legal citizens,

and you had Chris Murphy who said this a while ago

but his sound bite got resurfaced this week,

Senator from Connecticut saying

that illegal aliens are our top priority.

These are delusions in America

and I'm going to play some of the sound

to back up some of those delusions

that come back from our break.

But these are the delusions that are plaguing America right now.

These are all absolute falses.

This is all the same, on the same level as saying

two plus two equals five.

There shouldn't be these kinds of splits

in the American society right now.

We can have splits over a lot of different issues.

We can discuss whether we,

what kind of power we want to use.

Do we want to go nuclear?

Do we want to try to get natural gas?

I mean, there's plenty of debates to have.

We have no shortage of debates of rational ideas in this country.

But we're really seeing full-on delusions right now

and I'm not a psychiatrist.

So I think I've got some answers

as to why we're seeing these delusions

get such a foothold.

But before we get to the cause,

we need to make sure we understand

we diagnose the problem, which is

delusions in America.

Delusions on major important issues

are spreading.

Getting really sick.

And I would tell every single one of the people

who believe in any or all five of the delusions

I just listed listed to go see

a psychiatrist or psychologist.

But I have to tell you something.

Almost every psychiatrist or psychologist I know

is also suffering from one or more of those delusions.

That group in our society,

especially, is afflicted by this.

So I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what the absolute remedy for this is.

But I'm not sure of those.

But I'm sure that we're seeing delusions in America.

It's not all bad news though, folks.

On the stone zone, I'm going to tell you about

a big win in the world of sports and for women.

And I'm also going to talk about

another aspect of women's life in America right now.

It's the divide between women and men

which is growing wider.

And I think I know why.

We'll be right back on the stone zone.

This is the stone zone with Roger Stone.

And he's a professional at the highest level.

Roger Stone was Roger.

This is the stone zone with Roger Stone.

He is the very, very one of the smartest political minds.

Roger Stone was persecuted.

People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

Now get him his own.

It's the stone zone.

Here's Roger Stone.

And I'm Jake Novak again filling in for Roger Stone.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Really, really sad and shocking story out of Spain.

That had a very sad resolution today.

Just a few hours ago.

About that.

About 50 minutes after the hour.

I promise you I've got some good news to talk about in this program.

But I have to get back to that serious delusion issue that we have here in America.

And you know, when you have a society that has so many people who are deluded

as we're seeing right now here in the United States,

it opens the door for major hatred

and major, major destructive groups in society.

And I want you to listen to one of them

that was outside of a government offices in Philadelphia yesterday.

Listen to what this group had to say.

This is cut one.

Yeah.

This is what a delusioned nary to society.

A society with so many people under delusions

allows to fester in this country.

This is a group of people in Philadelphia cheering

the idea of dead soldiers.

They must not be cheering very much

because thank God we haven't had

too many dead American soldiers so far

during this massive war against a massive military regime.

But this only exists

in the United States.

And I want you to listen to this.

I want you to listen to this.

I want you to listen to this.

I want you to listen to this.

I want you to listen to this.

I want you to listen to this.

But this only exists

in a society that's broken mentally

with so many people

who don't really know what's going on.

Can't tell right from wrong.

Can't tell truth from fiction.

And I want to make it clear.

I'm not saying everything is great about

anything great about any war.

Not everything is perfect.

And on and on down the line.

But to believe that we're losing the war.

To allow people to cheer for dead soldiers

because you don't like the war.

That you don't really understand the details of.

Now, a lot of people listening tonight

know the name of this person.

Know who this person is.

Someone named Tokyo Rose.

There's actually more than one.

But there was one woman in particular.

Her Japanese woman who grew up mostly

in the United States

before World War II went back to Japan

before the war started

at a very clear American accent

and she was used for propaganda.

She was only heard

by US naval sailors.

Wasn't really heard on any

homeland because it was just

the radio signals weren't that strong.

And she sounds a lot like some

of these mainstream media outlets

right now talking about how America

was losing the war.

Your girlfriend has gone

and is cheating on you with someone

who didn't go to the draft

and have to get drafted.

All that kind of stuff.

There were a couple who did the job

but only wanted a time.

And there's pretty strong evidence

even though she was convicted.

There's pretty strong evidence

that she was compelled to do what she did

by the Japanese imperial government.

Not saying she completely wasn't guilty.

But she was at least partially

forced to do that.

What we have in America today is not only

millions of Tokyo roses,

influencers,

mainstream media pundits

who don't know anything.

But we also have them combining

with today's modern day

Jane Fondes. For those of you who know

that story.

Jane Fondes, the famous actress

who went over to Hanoi

went over to Vietnam at the height

of the Vietnam War,

put on a North Vietnamese army uniform

straddled anti-aircraft guns

that had killed American pilots

just days before

and talked about how America

was wrong. The United States was

just the North Vietnamese.

We have a combination of that now

in this country, Tokyo roses

and Jane Fondes.

And it's leading to a lot of delusions.

We gotta stop that.

Alright, when we come back on this

tone zone, I'll have some good news for you.

I promise.

It's tax season.

We know you're tired of numbers.

But here's a big one you need to hear.

Billions.

That's the amount of money and refunds

the IRS has flagged for possible identity fraud.

Now here's another big number.

100 million.

That's how many data points

lifelock monitors every second.

If your identity is stolen,

we'll fix it guaranteed.

One last big number.

This is the Stone Zone.

Now give him his own.

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.

Here's Roger Stone.

Here's Roger Stone.

Here's Roger Stone.

Here's Roger Stone.

Breaking News.

And I'm Jake Novich

for Roger Stone.

Just want to make sure you're updated

on the breaking news this evening.

President Trump and Truth Social Post

saying he's going to sign an order.

An executive order.

One would assume to get the TSA funded

to make an end run around the Democrat shutdown

of the DHS.

And that of course would get a lot of these TSA agents

back to work.

Many of them are calling out six.

Some of them may even rejoin the TSA. Those who quit.

So that's your big story. Also, President Trump

in the last couple of hours

telling you, Ron, it has another 10 days now

until April 6th

to give in on the straight-of-form rule.

Stop attacking and threatening shipping there

or the United States will hit its power grid.

This is the second time he's postponed

to that deadline.

Obviously some progress being made in negotiations

or perhaps he's just trying to

give the United States more time to knock out

their capabilities in the first place.

So those are the two breaking stories right now.

A minute later at the end of this hour,

I want to talk about a situation

you've heard on the news about all these cases,

these social media companies

Google with YouTube

and Meta platform is with Facebook and Instagram

and even Snapchat getting sued

or getting investigated for misleading children,

targeting children.

I got news for you. It's not just children.

Another major, major group here in America,

especially that's been targeted successfully

by social media

and has heard our society plain and simple.

Now I'm talking all this hour

here on the Stone Zone and I'm Jake Novak

filling in for Roger Stone tonight.

I've been talking all this hour about the delusions

in America and one of the people

who may be one of the most deluded

or at least he's promoting one of the biggest delusions

is the district attorney

for the city of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner

someone who has been

one of the most outrageous people

in this country and public office

for a few years now.

And yes, he was one of those George Soros

who made candidates and boy, what a red flag

that flew up for me about a decade ago

when we learned that George Soros

was making major donations

to local DA elections.

No one, no major donor has ever done that before.

Ever.

And you knew that that wasn't going to be a good situation

and Larry Krasner probably the worst to them all.

And here's what he has to say

about what he's going to do to ICE agents

listen to all the delusions he's promoting here

listen to this.

This is how it works.

Within the jurisdiction that is the city

and county of Philadelphia

I prosecute you.

That is how it works.

No, I don't take a phone call from the president

saying let him go.

No, the president cannot pardon you.

I'll say it again.

The president cannot pardon you.

And yes, I will put you in handcuffs

and I will put you in a courtroom

and if necessary I will put you in a jail cell.

What's he talking about?

What crimes are ICE agents committing?

They're going after illegal immigrants.

Documented undocumented people.

Objectively legal immigrants

who should not be in this country.

Also objectively absolutely ICE is supported.

80% in every poll of Americans want every legal immigrant

out of this country.

Yeah, there were some polls after all that

chaos in Minnesota where people said

well I think ICE might be going a little too far.

But even in those polls the overwhelming majority

who said they still supported

the deportation of illegal immigrants.

But he's pushing this delusion

that what ICE is doing is illegal.

And the higher courts continue to uphold

the fact that they are illegal.

And this is what he's pushing.

This is an evil person.

Now he either believes this himself

or he's pushing this delusion on people.

He is putting federal agents and harms way.

This is also remember he was the one who called them Nazis.

And Gestapo like

this is outrageous.

But again, unless you have a delusion society,

a high percentage of society

that's delusionary about the facts in this country.

Somebody like that couldn't get away with it,

but that's exactly what's happening.

That's exactly what's happening.

There's another delusioned person

in America right now,

and his name is Jimmy Kimmel.

And Jimmy Kimmel

said this the other night,

and it's really, really telling about a lot of things.

Not just his partisanship,

not just his snarkiness,

not just his inability to really make you laugh,

but also his delusions.

Listen to this.

Don't worry Trump's got a whole new generation

of thinkers lined up,

including his newly confirmed secretary

of Homeland Security,

Chuck Mike Bruce Dave Mellon.

Mellon, maybe Mellon's better.

He is the now former senator of Oklahoma.

Before he was elected to the Senate,

Mark Wayne Mellon

was a low level MMA fighter

and a plumber.

That's right. We have a plumber

protecting us from terrorism now.

I worked for Super Mario.

Why not, Mark Wayne?

But honestly, I mean...

Yeah, Mark Wayne Mellon,

first of all, we need plumbers

in America.

All joking aside, it's a great profession,

especially now.

But what's wrong with that?

The guy built a business.

I'm going to give you some more information

about Mark Wayne Mellon.

He was 20 years old

when his dad got sick.

He dropped out of college to run the family business

which include plumbing.

At the time, it had six people

working for it,

and a HVAC and plumbing company.

It has 150 plus employees.

That's the kind of person you want in government.

Jimmy Kimmel is also an ignoramus.

Who do you think built

this country as the founding fathers?

They were merchants.

They were small business owners.

Take a look at the signers

of the Declaration of Independence.

But the question is here,

how delusional do you have to be

to think that any large

percentage of Americans will find that funny?

Who are the writers on that program?

Delusions also require people living in a bubble,

not seeing reality, not living in a real world.

I happen to know, these shows have big staffs of writers.

More than 10 of them.

And not one of those writers said,

you may not want to do that joke.

Plumbing is hard work.

Building a small business is a great test

for someone who might want to lead a country

or at least be one of the representatives

in our government.

Maybe don't do that.

Who's the executive producer of that show?

There's no one to tell Jimmy.

Don't do that joke.

Nobody.

Because they're all delusionary.

They all think, yeah, this is funny.

We'll make fun of someone who works

through the sands.

Someone who builds something up from nothing.

As opposed to going to college

and getting a BA in Bavarian history.

That's really what's worth it.

Just incredible.

I'm going to give you some realities here

that people should look at before you talk about

who are ready to call, call it quits

on everything in America right now.

Supposedly Trump supporters, supposedly patriots.

Let me try to avoid you,

stop you from taking the black pill right now.

Huge poll out of New York showing

that Kathy Hocal, the incumbent governor,

only leads Republican Bruce Blakeman

by 52 to 43%.

We've got about seven months

and changed for the election.

That's a very small amount of votes

that Bruce Blakeman who is still a virtual unknown

most of the state to make up.

That is not 43% for Bruce Blakeman.

That's 43% saying,

I really don't care what the party

is of whoever is running against Kathy Hocal.

I'm going to vote for him or her.

All Bruce Blakeman needs to do

is make himself a little bit more known

and a little bit more palatable

to other parts of the state

to parts of the state.

He's going to win this thing.

The second poll result you really need to hear

is this jungle primary poll

at a California.

Now remember the Democrats in California

in their infinite wisdom

got rid of partisan

primaries in California.

Now it's just a free for all primary

and the top two finishers in the primary

which is coming up on June 2nd in California

they will run off against each other

in November in the general election

and if it's two Democrats who come out ahead

in the primary then it'll be two Democrats

and if it's two Republicans

it'll be two Republicans.

That's the way it works.

And right now two Republicans

are leading in the polls.

Now what the Democrats are trying to do

is to get a bunch of the Democrats

who are running for governor to drop out.

So far that hasn't happened.

It's already been two weeks now

that the Democrats have been rounding up a lot of money

to try to convince the 10 Democrats

who are running for governor

to get a couple of them to drop out

so that the other Democrats at least one of them

can win this primary.

They're running in New York.

All these people, those three candidates

who diluted each other

in the New York mayor's race,

it should sound familiar.

So that's encouraging though

that this is going to back, this is going to hurt them.

And again, the poll, the latest poll

that came out on Tuesday

showing two Republicans leading was a Democrat-funded poll.

This is a Democrat poll.

So you know, you call it an internal poll

if you want to whatever.

But right now it's got Steve Hilton

Chad Bianco at one and two.

And Congressman Eric Swala,

who's the leading Democrat,

he's a good four-point behind Bianco.

They've got to get some of these Democrats to drop out.

Even if they do, it doesn't necessarily mean

it's going to work out for them.

But that's important.

Speaking of governors, you know,

I just played the Larry Krasner soundbite for you.

This incredible soundbite where he says,

I say he's going to arrest them.

I mean, this is Confederacy level stuff.

This is secession from the government

respecting the federal law

and the supremacy clause kind of stuff.

But you know who could fix this?

Even before an election, governor Josh Shapiro,

Pennsylvania, he has the right

to remove district attorneys from counties.

They're county officials officially.

He won't do it.

And Josh Shapiro, his entire profile

that they're trying to push on voters,

particularly older, more traditional Democrat party voters

and Jewish voters.

They're trying to push this, he's a moderate

not only is he not going to remove Larry Krasner.

I got news for you. He's not going to even say anything about him.

Not publicly.

This is where we are right now folks.

It's really quite, quite, quite disturbing to say the least.

This is where we are in America.

Governors not taking their rightful

and legal jobs,

their responsibilities to protect their states

from rogue politicians under them.

We have that opportunity here in New York state as well.

Cathy Hokehook, an absolutely rain in,

Zoran Mamdani.

She could absolutely rain in Alvin Bragg,

the DA of Manhattan County, New York County.

She won't do it.

Because increasingly what we've seen in America

is a Democratic party

that is absolutely being run like the Supreme Soviet.

When I was growing up in America in the 70s and 80s,

you had a lot of Democrats

and Republicans who bucked their national party

all the time.

Ed Koch did it in New York City.

Mario Cuomo did it somewhat frequently in New York state.

They can't do it now.

They seem to be unable to do so.

And even John Federman who speaks out against his party a lot

at the end of the day,

he has voted precious few times against his party very rarely.

He did it last week

when he voted Mark Wayne Mullen out of committee

so it's not a complete all talk

no walk from John Federman.

I'll give him credit for that.

It's not the most part at the end of the day.

He doesn't vote

with the Republicans in any way whatsoever.

Even though he has a big outspoken streak

of speaking out against his party.

And I love what he says when he does so.

Good stuff.

But he doesn't vote enough to prove it.

Unfortunately.

Did it once? Did it a couple of times?

So I give him credit for that.

But that's what we have here

in this country right now.

Tough situation.

All those cases, maybe even looking at them in the news

the last couple of days where Facebook,

the Facebook parent met a platform

which is also on Instagram

and WhatsApp

and Google because of its YouTube social media platform.

Which is it's also a video platform

but it can be used to social media.

And now Europe, the European Union

is investigating Snapchat by the way

all for the same thing.

Not protecting children from predators

not protecting

undue influence on children etc etc.

Okay.

Fine, I get it.

You think it's just the children?

You think that as an adult you're immune

from these kinds of things going on on social media?

There is one statistic

that has been really, really bothering me

for the last couple of months ever since I first saw it.

I saw that almost every poll shows

that in the last 30 years

and most of the polls were even more specific.

They were more like the last 20 years.

American men voting age males

in America who have been voting ever since

25 years ago and on.

So you're talking about people

who are at least 43 years old,

probably in their 50s and older.

Their voting habits

and more importantly, their belief on certain issues

everything from the death penalty

to illegal immigration, to taxes

etc etc.

hasn't changed.

There's been less than a 1% change

in voting males in America

on these major issues and the way they vote.

Men are, for better or for worse,

stuck in where they were 25 years ago.

Women drastically changed to the left.

15, 20, 30 point changes in the way

women have been voting

and thinking about major cultural issues

and I'm sorry, it's not a mystery why.

The answer is social media and it's not

saying that women are more susceptible

to social media than men are.

It's just that women are engaging

in news and cultural issues more than they ever had before

because of social media.

Think about that shows like the today show

and the way that that news is different

from the nightly news or at least was

years ago.

And I know a lot of couples

that are very, very close whether they're married

or they're just dating or whatever.

But one thing I don't know of any couple doing

is scrolling through social media together.

Nobody does that as a group of exercise.

And this to me is the biggest explanation

for why women have gone so far to the left

in their voting habits.

Men were getting all kinds of stimuli

all over the place.

They're paying attention to sports.

They're doing other things.

It's got nothing to do with better brains

or weaker brains or anything else like that

or more responsibility or less.

It's got nothing to do with any of those cultural things.

If you think I'm trying to make a feminist

or an anti-feminist comment, you're wrong.

This is just about a new market that was created.

In a different way than they ever had before and in a larger

frequency.

And it's pushed them to the left.

And it's caused some serious, serious divisions

in this country.

When we come back here on the Stone Zone,

I'm going to have a story that would absolutely

shock the world at any time in our history.

But especially if you were talking

about the years of World War II,

you're going to be shocked by this story when we come back.

This is the Stone Zone

with Roger Stone.

Great, great person.

Roger Stone.

The Stone Zone.

This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

Roger Stone.

He is 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 him his own.

It's the Stone Zone.

Here's Roger Stone.

I'm Jake Novak-Philian from Roger Stone

as we ran out this program.

I promised you some good news.

Let me give it to you fast and furious.

First, the International Olympic Committee,

deciding today not to allow men to participate in women's sports

Olympics. They're going to do a gene test

to make sure that doesn't happen.

This, of course, is basic common sense.

It's basic decency.

Took too long for this to happen.

You may recall the 2024 summer games

a couple of years ago.

A biological man won the women's boxing gold medal.

Almost killed some of the people he fought against.

That probably I think was really the last straw here.

And good for the IOC for doing that.

It's a big win for Donald Trump.

And for the United States.

The Olympics are going to be here in Los Angeles in 2028.

It's great to have that cloud lifted over the Olympics.

So that's one good news story.

Another good news story.

I think it's actually the best of all the good news stories.

But I don't consider this a surprise in any way whatsoever.

Just an amazing incident.

At JFK Airport today,

a one-year-old toddler,

baby,

definitely having some kind of choking incident

went limp in the security line

and the ICE agents who were positioned along that line

immediately saw it.

When the father called for help.

They were able to administer the Heimlich maneuver to the child

and that child is fine.

Don't know if that would have been the result.

I really don't.

If ICE agents hadn't been at the airport.

That's not something TSA agents are likely to go ahead and do.

I'm not saying that it wouldn't want to try.

But that's a great, great story today.

Now, the story that just blows my mind.

Anyone who knows anything about history or culture

has to be absolutely blown away by this.

This is an incredible story.

Just listen to this and pretend you're in 1943 just for a second.

Israel is an advanced negotiations right now

with Volkswagen in Germany

to convert a large Volkswagen car plant

in Germany into a factory

for manufacturing components for the Iron Dome air defense system.

And those components will be used

by Iron Dome batteries here in the United States

in Israel and Germany.

Germany now relies on Israel

for vital aspects of its own defense

and Israel is providing it.

Let me say that again.

Germany now relies on Israel

for vital aspects of its defense

and Israel is happy to provide it for them

on their own soil, on German soil at a Volkswagen play.

You know who founded Volkswagen?

The official Volkswagen.

You don't like Elon Musk's founding Tesla.

How about out of Hitler?

Just incredible. What an incredible story.

Talk about a turnaround. Talk about the world upside down.

But in a good way.

By the way, this news comes in the same day

that we learned that

foreign investment in the Israeli stock market,

the number of foreign owned trades

on the Israeli stock market before the Iron War

35% of daily trading.

You know what it is now?

41%.

This whole illusion. Talk about delusions.

We've come full circle in this program.

I started with a list of the five big delusions here

in America right now.

But there's delusions everywhere.

And one of the delusions is that Israel is somehow marginalized.

Somehow on an island of its own.

And yes, in academic worlds

and in the adult brain of Tucker Carlson,

that's true.

But in the real world

where money tells you

what people really think

about money where their mouth is

or their hearts happen to be

Israel is not isolated.

It's less and less isolated every time.

They make the technology.

It makes the resources that people need.

And they know in their hearts

that it's not a genocidal country.

Simple as that.

I'm Jake Novak. I've been filling in for Roger Stone this evening.

Thank you for taking your time to be with me tonight.

You'll hear from me again soon.

We'll see you next time for a new episode.

So you never have to wonder.

What the heck is going on here?

President Barack Obama.

Virginia,

we are going to talk about

what's going on here.

President Barack Obama.

Virginia,

we are going to talk about

what's going on here.

What's going on here?

President Barack Obama.

Virginia,

we are counting on you.

Republicans want to steal

enough seats in Congress to

raid the next election

and wield unchecked power for two more years.

But you can stop them.

By voting yes,

by April 21st.

Help put our elections

back on a level playing field

and let voters decide

not politicians.

Vote yes,

by April 21st.

We'll see you next time.
