Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. President-elect Trump is on his way to becoming the next President of the USA, and is already making moves to fill out his cabinet and administration.
00:17:40.960The American people liked what they saw.
00:17:44.160And so they voted for him on November 5th.
00:17:47.440And I would say this to Senate Republicans, your job is to confirm the president's qualified cabinet picks.
00:17:57.040You should presume that if they're qualified, they should be confirmed.
00:18:01.420There is a presumption they should be confirmed.
00:18:05.240If they are disqualified through misconduct, it is the accuser's job to prove that with very clear and convincing evidence.
00:18:15.080If there's not clear and convincing evidence, you should vote to confirm President Trump's cabinet picks.
00:18:21.240He is entitled to have his own cabinet.
00:18:24.300Yes, you have a constitutional duty, but you cannot let policy disagreements or personal differences with President Trump's cabinet nominees
00:18:33.400stop you from giving the duly elected President of the United States the team that he wants.
00:18:39.640And if you obstruct this, like the Senate obstructed Trump's picks during the first term, I was there.
00:18:46.900It took two years to confirm many of these executive branch employees.
00:18:50.760Then the president should have all available options to including recess appointments.
00:19:01.240Thank you so much for joining us here, right here on Jack Pahot, the Sobik Show on Human Events.
00:19:09.640I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Pahot.
00:19:15.700Yes, I'm Roger Stone sitting in for Jack Pahot, and we're back.
00:19:22.700You know, on the morning of January 25th, 2019, 34 fully SWAT-clad FBI agents surrounded and then swarmed my home.
00:19:34.460They were wearing night goggles and brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons.
00:19:40.780They were there to arrest me for the first-time nonviolent crime of lying under oath to Congress.
00:19:48.600Now, it wasn't until November 3rd, 2020, that's election night, the busiest election day in the country in terms of media coverage,
00:19:59.420that at midnight, and only because of the order of a federal judge, Robert Mueller's long-hidden, long-redacted final report was released, including the sections about me.
00:20:13.680And in that report, even Mueller could not sugarcoat that he had found no evidence of Russian collusion,
00:20:20.820no evidence of WikiLeaks collaboration, and no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever.
00:20:27.660So, they indicted me on process crime, saying that I had been less than truthful in my voluntary congressional testimony.
00:20:38.100And while that's true, I did make misstatements.
00:36:34.800Now, if this was only intended to allow the Ukrainians to provide covering fire for their advances and holding terrain inside of Russia in the Kursk oblast, well, they should have been clear on that.
00:36:49.800And they should have just said that up front.
00:36:51.700It's still provocative, but I think the Russians would have understood a lot better.
00:36:55.840When they just give this ambiguous, the Ukrainians are allowed to use their long-range American missiles and fire into Russia, that is extremely ignorant.
00:37:06.740But it comes, I don't think Biden had anything to do with this.
00:37:09.840We haven't had a president since January 21.
00:37:12.440This reeks of Jake Sullivan and his staff that wouldn't know a Atakims missile from a 40-millimeter grenade launcher.
00:37:51.820And it's like, there's no historical precedent.
00:37:54.160When has one administration decided to throw gas on the fire right before transition of administrations?
00:38:02.940I mean, this just shows what we're dealing with.
00:38:07.520Bought off, corrupt, incompetent personalities that are running around the White House.
00:38:12.820Now, our mutual friend, General Michael Flynn, who was on my show two days ago, he made the point that there was at least some reasonable hope that both the Ukrainians and the Russians would exercise restraint, realizing that there was a new American government coming.
00:38:33.920And that Donald Trump, who's now, as I understand it, invited President Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to sit down and meet with him as soon as possible to see if calamity could be avoided here.
00:38:47.280Do you think that the Ukrainians have the fortitude to exercise such restraint?
00:39:09.700He was interested in conducting negotiations.
00:39:12.260So this just out of left field announcement by somebody, by whoever is running the government right now, it was just, I think it took everybody off balance, including the Ukrainians.
00:39:26.740Again, I don't mean to get too tactical or operational.
00:39:32.480If this is just to provide covering fire for the advances the Ukrainians have made, okay, I kind of understand that.
00:39:40.280I think the Russians would have understood that.
00:39:43.440This is like what went on in Korea before Eisenhower came into office.
00:39:51.000There was some last minute tussling on the front lines to kind of reposture the line of troops.
00:40:06.200So this just shows the gross incompetence of whoever's running things inside the White House.
00:40:12.460I don't, I don't, I think, I pray that Zelensky will show restraint and not, not use these inappropriately.
00:40:22.580Again, there's Varenish, which is, that is actually a strategic, it's a nuclear warhead site in the Kursk oblast off to the right side.
00:40:32.780I mean, the Russians are going, what, are they going to start striking our nuclear warheads we're holding over there?
00:40:39.000I mean, are they going to start striking, using the JASM against Moscow?
00:40:42.980I mean, this is extremely provocative and a, this is, clarity and resolve are essential for international, the conduct of international relations.
00:40:57.740This administration does not understand the concept of clarity or resolve.
00:41:02.880If there had been a clear statement, I think it shouldn't have allowed, allowed this at all, but if they had just put a very precise and clear statement out, that would have been much better than what happened.
00:41:15.520This is just, oh, we're allowing them to use long-range missiles.
00:41:18.440And everybody's going, well, wow, what does that mean?
00:41:30.520And I hope they teach this at Yale and Belfer, where Jake Sullivan is going back to.
00:41:36.200You know, it's interesting, when Donald Trump was elected in 2016, they told us, he's going to start a world war.
00:41:45.260Yet, in the Trump years, we had unprecedented peace.
00:41:48.600He brought tens of thousands of our troops home from the Middle East without having the countries they were leaving collapse into the hands of the enemy behind him.
00:41:56.220Who is it who has driven us right to the brink of World War III?
00:42:30.900I'm Roger Stone, sitting in for my good friend, Jack Posobiec,
00:42:34.740An extraordinary story in the Washington Times this week by Carrie Pickett, in which we learn that the FBI under James Comey,
00:42:44.800before the approval of the crossfire hurricane operation to undermine President Donald Trump had an earlier off the books operation to plant two extremely attractive females inside Donald Trump's campaign.
00:43:02.140In fact, inside the traveling party, a so-called honeypot operation in order to try to get dirt on Donald Trump.
00:43:11.960Now, this operation was not based because there was some predicate or some evidence of wrongdoing or corruption or foreign involvement.
00:43:26.740I can't think of any better example as to why we need to clean house at the FBI and why I believe, as I said earlier, that Kash Patel is exactly the right man to do that.
00:43:41.960But the nomination that has the Washington establishment more upset than any other is that of North Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General.
00:44:09.800Well, because he's been a victim of it himself, as have I, as has, for example, General Michael Flynn.
00:44:17.700And, of course, the greatest single example, that would be President Donald Trump.
00:44:22.700Matt Gaetz has chosen a very hard path here because the innuendo, the vituperation, the personal attacks on him are going to be extraordinary.
00:44:34.660That's because those who oppose his nomination are in bed with the fake news media.
00:44:42.500Now, the fake news media has lost its monopoly on communications in this country.
00:44:54.140But with Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and converging it into X, they no longer have the monopoly that they had.
00:45:04.620Therefore, you can look for a campaign of smear and innuendo against Matt Gaetz, who, as we all know, has already survived an intense investigation by one of the most politicized criminal justice operations in the history of the United States.
00:45:25.100That would be the U.S. Department of Justice.
00:45:28.680Matt Gaetz has demonstrated that he is equal to this task.
00:45:32.240He's tough, he's wily, he's determined, he's stubborn, and, frankly, he's exactly the right man for the job.
00:45:41.600Now, there are a bunch of rhino senators who've already signaled that there's no circumstance under which they are going to vote for Matt Gaetz.
00:45:52.220I think that at least let him have his hearings before they made that decision.
00:45:56.580But, you see, he strikes fear into the hearts of the globalist elite.
00:46:03.320He strikes fear into the hearts of those who engaged in crime in the greatest single political dirty trick in American history.
00:46:13.080You see, the Russian collusion hoax was nothing less than the use of the full authority of the U.S. government
00:46:22.220and the extraordinary capability of our intelligence agencies, utilizing what they knew to be completely fraudulent and fabricated evidence,
00:46:34.100the Steele dossier, and the false claim that the Democrat National Committee had been the target of an online hack by the Russians
00:46:43.480and that that information had somehow made its way to President Donald Trump's campaign.
00:47:25.080FBI Director James Comey, the guy who ran the honeypot operation that we talked about just minutes ago that was revealed in the Washington Times,
00:47:37.800the guy who was going to the Oval Office and then rushing to his computer after meeting with the president
00:47:46.700to tell him about the Steele dossier, which he knew was a fraud.
