00:02:12.240She was invited into the campaigns of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, but she chose instead to go to work for Donald Trump.
00:02:21.200And it is Suzy Wiles, who was responsible for Trump's narrow victory in Florida in 2016.
00:02:28.500She then went on to bail out the Republican candidate for governor, Ron DeSantis, who only won that party's nomination with the endorsement of Donald Trump.
00:02:42.340For reasons that have never been specified, she left the DeSantis camp, and then she was asked to return to become chief of staff, first for President Donald Trump's political action committee, and then to become co-chairperson of his campaign for president.
00:03:00.260Now, she got a lot of criticism during the campaign, most of it completely unfounded.
00:03:05.740Let's clear some of this up right now.
00:03:08.360Although she has worked for a public affairs firm, no, she never worked for any pharmaceutical firm, specifically never worked for Pfizer.
00:03:30.160She is an enormously capable woman, and now I think it's kind of obvious.
00:03:37.500Would Donald Trump have rolled up the Republican nomination as easily as he did without her leadership?
00:03:43.900It was she that recruited Chris LaCivita, one of the country's leading Republican strategists, organizers, and operatives, to co-chair the Trump campaign.
00:04:24.400I think that this is an excellent, excellent choice, which I applaud.
00:04:29.760Now, we do know that we're beginning to get some of the early appointments.
00:04:36.160We learned yesterday that President Donald Trump has appointed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik from upstate New York to be the U.N. ambassador.
00:04:50.200You, Elise Stefanik, has been a guest on my 77 WABC radio show.
00:04:56.700She is a staunch supporter of President Trump, and she's had the courage to file formal complaints against both state and federal judges who have abused their power in the lawfare attempts against Donald Trump.
00:05:12.480I think this is an excellent appointment.
00:05:15.080I consider her a friend, a woman of great courage and great loyalty to the America First agenda of President Donald Trump.
00:05:25.120Now, I assume she will not resign her seat in Congress until February, which is when her nomination technically would probably go to the Senate.
00:05:39.540At that time, Governor Hochul of New York would declare a special election.
00:05:47.060That special election, there will be no primaries under New York state law.
00:05:51.560And what would happen is the Republican county organizations in the counties that are either fully or partially in the congressional district would essentially, each county would vote.
00:06:07.220Each county has a weighted percentage of the overall vote.
00:06:12.400And whoever has a majority of those counties, normally the county committee members would probably give a proxy to the county chairperson.
00:06:24.460They would get what is called a certificate of election.
00:06:28.400Then their name would be on the ballot for the special election.
00:06:33.120Normally, from the time that the governor calls a special election, it's usually about 90 days.
00:06:41.260And therefore, there'd be a special election for that seat.
00:06:44.300Now, we don't even know today the outcome of the House elections.
00:06:51.460It appears that the Republicans will maintain control.
00:06:54.580But I don't think we know that for a certainty, as Democrats continue to slow roll the count in a number of districts, where, frankly, I think they're trying to steal some seats.
00:07:06.660But either way you look at it, this is a reliably Republican district.
00:07:12.040It's highly likely that Republicans would hold on to it.
00:07:16.660Joining us now is a man who told me last night he is seriously considering becoming a candidate for the seat.
00:07:24.080You've seen him here before on the Roger Stone Show on 77 a.m. radio, but also here on the Stone Zone, Anthony Constantino, the chief executive officer of StickerMule.com.
00:07:37.120You remember him. He is the guy who put an enormous vote for Trump sign on the top of his factory in Amsterdam, New York, although Amsterdam is outside this district.
00:08:58.180I was very pleased when I got this news.
00:09:00.920And we're going to try to get her back on the stone zone as soon as we possibly can.
00:09:05.400Now, I want to remind people of your own odyssey, because a couple of years ago you weren't political at all.
00:09:11.320You were just interested in building your online Internet printing business, which has become extraordinarily successful.
00:09:18.180But the time came when you finally decided you had to come off the bench and get in the fight to save America.
00:09:24.120You very famously put this enormous sign on top of your factory.
00:09:29.320Amsterdam used to be a bustling industrial city, really a jewel, until the globalist policies of Biden and before him Obama destroyed most of the commerce in upstate New York.
00:09:45.000You have revived what was an old factory building, and your company, StickerMule, is extraordinarily successful.
00:09:53.260But some people didn't like your sign.
00:09:56.200Some people told you you should stay out of politics.
00:09:59.660The local county officials, some of them said that your sign was a safety hazard because people might see it while they're driving by, which is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard in my entire life.
00:10:17.160You refused to take the sign down as they demanded.
00:10:19.260They actually, as I recall, they threatened to put you in jail if you insisted on exercising your free speech, First Amendment rights, but you stood tall.
00:10:29.120So tell us a little bit about that controversy, and we're going to show a video to remind people about what happened at your factory.
00:10:38.460You know, I put this incredible, beautiful vote for Trump sign on top of my building, and we wanted to celebrate the sign by having a massive sign lighting party.
00:10:46.520People flew in from all over the country, and my Democrat mayor went nutso, maybe is the best way to put it.
00:10:52.480And he hit me with a very aggressive restraining order forbidding me from displaying the sign.
00:10:56.540I thought it was a silly thing, but my lawyers didn't know, Anthony, they're going to throw you in jail right now if you violate that restraining order.
00:11:14.540We were going to throw this massive party, and literally 20 minutes before the party went off, Sal Ferlazo called me, and he said, Anthony, you're not going to believe it.
00:11:22.080I got the restraining order vacated at the last minute, and you can go ahead with your party.
00:11:26.120He said, I'd like to sign up and have a great night and have fun.
00:11:29.820And he got down to the party, and he actually got on top of – I had a Cybertruck.
00:11:34.460I was on top of a Cybertruck talking in front of somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people about what just happened.
00:11:40.780And Sal was on the truck with me taking a celebratory speech as well.
00:11:48.040It was a great day for America, a great day for free speech.
00:11:50.800And a really interesting experience, one I never thought I'd get myself into, but a really interesting experience that got me a firsthand look at the political world, which is, you know, a tough place.
00:12:02.380But, yeah, really got me a firsthand look at the political world.
00:12:05.980We're having a little trouble loading that video, so we're just going to talk about it and let our folks in the control room try to catch up with us.
00:12:12.220You were there at Madison Square Garden, which was one of the greatest political experiences of my life.
00:12:21.820As you know, it was an extraordinarily diverse crowd.
00:12:26.480I mean, you had all kinds of people there.
00:12:29.000I saw that Kamala Harris referred to it as a Nazi rally, which was interesting because I saw a lot of people waving the flag of Israel and wearing yarmulkes at that rally, which is, I think, pretty rare if it were a Nazi rally.
00:12:42.840And the Democrats like to forget the entire history.
00:12:45.420It was Madison Square Garden where Bill Clinton was nominated for president.
00:12:50.180It was Madison Square Garden where Jimmy Carter was nominated for president.
00:12:54.360It was Madison Square Garden in 1960 where President John F. Kennedy's famous birthday party, where Marilyn Monroe in a virtually see-through sexy dress, very breathily sang, happy birthday, Mr. President.
00:13:07.260But no, suddenly, having a rally in Madison Square Garden, they tried to say, was something evil and something associated with Nazism and Hitler.
00:13:22.280Many German-Americans did not want America to enter World War II, but that was actually at Madison Square Garden when it was at a different location.
00:13:30.200So, tell me about your experience in Madison Square Garden.
00:13:35.560I met people from all different backgrounds.
00:13:37.240But really, even though I stayed silent for so long, I understood what was happening to President Trump since the day he stepped into office due to my business background.
00:13:44.740And sadly, I stayed quiet for too long.
00:13:47.120I spoke up at the right time, I guess.
00:13:49.240But, you know, I tell people all the time with my background in business, poorly performing organizations like the U.S. government do not like when new chief executives enter the organization because they know change is going to happen.
00:14:01.600And the people that are performing poorly are going to get discovered and action is going to be taken against them.
00:14:06.780Usually that action means they're going to get fired.
00:14:09.220But they knew things were going to happen to them.
00:14:10.700And so the moment Trump announced, the U.S. government really launched a rebellion against them and all these figures that are in there like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and all these other people that make their money, taking advantage of our country, got very upset and very nervous and very scared.
00:14:28.040So that's why they use the rhetoric that they use.
00:14:34.360But I became friends with a guy named Michael Harris, who was on the stage speaking on behalf of President Trump to see the founder of Death Row Records, big time supporter of Trump.
00:14:43.760And he actually came to my event two days later.
00:14:46.120I held an event called Meet a Trump Supporter in Manhattan.
00:14:48.840I don't even know if you know this, Roger, but I did an event in Manhattan.
00:15:53.220You know, eight years ago or six years ago, if you went to Manhattan saying you're a Trump supporter, bad things were going to happen to you.
00:15:57.800But I held an event called Meet a Trump Supporter.
00:16:00.300And not a single liberal came to challenge me.
00:16:03.220All they wanted to do was understand my perspective.
00:16:04.800And they're all left saying that they're going to vote for President Trump, including a Manhattan CEO who came and told me he liked my event so much.
00:16:13.200He sent me a text saying, Anthony, I went to work wearing a Trump shirt today.
00:16:16.760I'm wearing your Trump for peace shirt.
00:16:18.020And he said, some of my liberal employees started having panic attacks.
00:16:20.960But I talked to them and I calmed them down, too.
00:16:22.620So I'm really happy with what I saw at Madison Square Garden.
00:16:25.380I'm really happy with the results of this election.
00:16:27.000And I think Trump's making great decisions, not just with Elise, but with all his appointments so far.
00:16:32.320We're going to show that video here in a minute.
00:16:34.400But in the meantime, I'm going to go to my co-host, Troy Smith.
00:16:38.180Troy, you and I were talking about this earlier today, the impact of Anthony's decision to stand up for America on his business.
00:16:47.060I think that's a great line of questioning.
00:18:02.540I kind of want to declare mission accomplished in my goals of helping to unify the country.
00:18:07.840I think we're really going to have a unified country now with the landslide election, with all the support for President Trump.
00:18:12.580People are pushing each other out of the way to support President Trump.
00:18:15.160Whereas when I did it, when I sent my first message saying I support him, I got, normally I get 5,000 to 10,000 emails a day.
00:18:21.460Believe it or not, I was getting 50,000 to 100,000 emails a day with people telling me to kill myself, that they were going to kill me, that they wanted to see my company go bankrupt, that I'm going to lose all my customers.
00:18:57.220My name is Anthony Constantino, and I had a crazy idea to promote American manufacturing, to bring people together, and to stop all the division.
00:19:07.980But my crazy idea turned into something bigger, a fight to protect free speech.
00:19:13.820After I decided to build a beautiful, artistically designed and handcrafted sign, Democrat politicians went to war to stop me from showing it, trampling on our First Amendment right to free speech.
00:19:26.560They tricked the judge with a phony narrative that a beautiful, vote for Trump sign was a public safety hazard.
00:19:34.240My lawyers told me I'd end up in jail if I displayed the largest Trump sign in America atop my tallest factory building.
00:19:43.760Joined by Tough as Nails UFC superstars, I went ahead with the event to display and like the sign for the first time.
00:19:54.240And minutes before the event started, we won a legal battle for free speech on behalf of all Americans to display a landmark sign that's a tribute to a historic global hero who happens to be a Yankee like myself.
00:20:10.340All right, now let's come to the point of this.
00:20:20.300Anthony, you told me last night you're very seriously considering entering the special election to replace Elise Stefanik when she vacates the seat.
00:20:30.180I tried to talk to you this morning, your phone.
00:20:33.280Every time you hung up, it started, it rang again.
00:20:44.340Yeah, I'm getting lots of phone calls from people over the place asking me to get involved.
00:20:48.660And first of all, I want to say this, you know, as soon as President Trump got in there eight years ago and he won,
00:20:53.240I saw the reason why the people were so, you know, upset and frustrated about the situation I knew for myself was all of the existing political creatures that were in the government were terrified that other Trump-like figures were going to enter the government.
00:21:08.260Trump was an inspirational figure to say, listen, you don't got to be a political person your whole life to get in.
00:21:13.420You've got to be a person with a brain and good intentions and you can get in and do things.
00:21:17.260And that was the message that was sent when he won.
00:21:19.000And the government that's filled with political creatures, in my view, they went into crisis mode.
00:21:24.420But him coming back and winning this time, really, I think it's going to be a pivotal moment in American history.
00:21:29.200And it's going to inspire more people with similar backgrounds to himself that they can get involved to and they can do the right thing.
00:21:35.980So based on all the reaction to what's happening right now with Elise entering the administration and people calling me like crazy, I'm strongly considering doing the same thing.
00:21:44.420I think I want to do whatever is most impactful in the world.
00:21:47.800I like doing things that are interesting and impactful.
00:21:49.960That's why I got involved in building my company to 1,200 people and doing all sorts of interesting things there.
00:21:55.040But I want to do what's most impactful for the world, what's best for the country.
00:21:59.540And it seems like this might be it, but I'm putting together a team to help me make the decision.
00:22:05.060And we'll figure that out in the next few days.
00:22:07.020But I want to do whatever is most impactful for the country, most impactful in general.
00:22:11.340And I'm going to be going over to Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night.
00:22:13.780I got dinner booked and hopefully I'll get a chance to run into President Trump and get his perspective.
00:22:17.520But I want to do what's right for the country to the best of my ability.
00:32:04.840Last Friday, I posted a piece on Substack urging the president not to appoint former Secretary
00:32:13.800of State and former Central Intelligence Agency head Mike Pompeo to a cabinet position.
00:32:23.940It was widely reported that Pompeo was seeking to become the Secretary of Defense.
00:32:30.560Now, first of all, President Trump told me personally that it was CIA Director Mike Pompeo who persuaded him not to release all of the classified documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
00:32:47.600The Congress had passed a law which set a deadline in early 2017 in which all those documents were scheduled for release subject only to their being blocked by the president of the United States.
00:33:02.960And I made the case to President Trump as to why I thought it was time to release those documents.
00:33:08.880In the end, he released about 80 percent of the material.
00:33:13.480But then he told me, he also told my good friend Judge Andrew Napolitano, that Mike Pompeo, then CIA Director, persuaded him that releasing those documents would reveal the CIA's sources and methods.
00:33:30.280Well, that makes no sense, because their sources are all dead.
00:33:35.380And if they're involved in covering up government involvement in the murder of President John F. Kennedy, which I believe, based on my own book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy, The Case Against LBJ, is precisely what is there, then the American people have a right to know that.
00:33:52.600But President Trump, I should point out, has now pledged that now that he is president, he said this during the campaign, that once he becomes president, he will declassify all of those documents.
00:34:04.280In fact, he said that he would appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head a commission to examine all of the attempted assassination, I should say, all the assassination attempts on American presidents, starting with John F. Kennedy, also would look into the assassination of Robert Kennedy's father, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., who was gunned down while running for president.
00:34:30.340This would also include the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, as well as the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump himself.
00:34:41.260I applaud that decision, if that commission should come to pass.
00:34:46.000But I also remember that it was Mike Pompeo who defended Jack Smith's so-called documents case, insisting that Smith was right, despite the Presidential Records Act, which clearly states that the president of the United States has the right to do anything he wants with his documents.
00:35:11.000Interestingly enough, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who was the judge in my case, the judge in Paul Manafort's case, she ruled that Bill Clinton, as a former president, could do anything he wanted with his documents, his classified documents, including keeping them in his sock drawer in Chappaqua.
00:35:30.000Here, let's take a look at Mike Pompeo, talking about this on Fox.
00:35:38.560...what Donald Trump is facing, and is it right to charge him?
00:35:43.800Brian, good morning. Great to be with you.
00:35:45.960Two things, I think, are both true at this point.
00:35:48.920First, if the allegations are true, and there's lots of indications that they are,
00:35:52.540President Trump had classified documents where he shouldn't have had them, and then when given the opportunity to return them, he chose not to do that for whatever reason.
00:36:00.300That's just, Brian, you talked about me having classified documents.
00:36:03.140I handled thousands and thousands of them over my time in Congress and then as a CIA director and secretary of state.
00:36:09.100I suppose we can all make mistakes and get them to the wrong place, but when somebody identifies that, you've got to turn them in.
00:36:13.640And so that's just, that's inconsistent with protecting America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines.
00:36:18.080And if the allegations are true, some of these were pretty serious, important documents.
00:36:45.420It was like, we had entire, we had entire training courses.
00:36:53.500As I wrote in my piece on Substack, which you can also see at StoneZone.com, Mike Pompeo is a neocon.
00:37:01.600He is one of the major cogenitors of the war in Afghanistan, as well as the war in Ukraine.
00:37:10.860Then, on Saturday, after I published my piece, President Donald Trump put up the following post at True Social and also on X.
00:37:22.600The president said, I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley or Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump administration, which is currently in formation.
00:37:33.120I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our country.
00:37:42.880To me, this is a great victory for those who believe in the America first anti-war, pro-peace agenda of President Donald Trump.
00:37:53.280I'm proud of the piece that I wrote, and I hope it played some small role in the president's decision here to do the right thing when it comes to the neocon war hawk, Mike Pompeo.
00:38:05.580Final note, Mike Pompeo told President Trump that he would not run for president if President Trump decided to run again.
00:38:14.400Yet, we know for a fact that he had a shadow campaign in the works.
00:38:19.400He was hoping that President Trump would be taken down by the outrageous lawfare against him, and I think he would have even challenged a weakened Trump.
00:38:30.680But you saw how easily President Trump vanquished Ron DeSantis and the other neocon mentioned in my piece, Nikki Haley, and Pompeo backed away.
00:38:42.240Now, Pompeo showed up in the final weeks of the campaign at one rally speaking for President Trump.
00:38:49.260But that does not atone for his record that we've laid out here for you today.
00:39:00.440Well, I'll say, Roger, it's very good to see that some of the more nefarious members of the last Trump administration are having the door slammed in their face as they're trying to reenter.
00:39:10.380And I think it's kind of interesting, you know, we have Pompeo on tape saying that Trump should, I mean, basically saying it's okay for Jack Smith to send FBI agents to Mar-a-Lago to raid Barron Trump's bedroom.
00:39:33.960Glad he's not going to be in the next administration.
00:39:35.700But, you know, I think it's important, Roger, these people are not going to be in the administration, but people who will be in the administration, people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., we assume will have some sort of position.
00:39:47.660People like Tulsi Gabbard, we assume will have some sort of position.
00:39:51.020And these are former Democrats, as our guest just pointed out earlier.
00:40:28.440President-elect Donald Trump is now returning to the White House after an historic political realignment.
00:40:36.240Mr. Trump swept all seven battleground states after NBC News projected overnight that he won Arizona.
00:40:43.460He also tore down the Democratic blue wall and is poised to become the first Republican in two decades to win the national popular vote.
00:40:52.200President-elect Trump charged with plotting to overturn the last election, now establishing himself as a transformational political force, reshaping American politics in his own image.
00:41:04.200We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that.
00:41:09.520We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible.
00:41:13.420I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.
00:41:18.820This decisive victory should shake the Democrat establishment to its core.
00:41:26.060This is a new dawn of Republican leadership.
00:41:29.640With President Trump and J.D. Vance in the White House, we are going to advance an agenda that is an American agenda.
00:41:37.060We're going to have the most aggressive first hundred days agenda that anybody's seen in a modern era.
00:41:41.580Now, those victories powered by populist frustration with exit polls showing three quarters of voters feel dissatisfied or angry about the way things are going in the country.
00:41:52.340Nearly half of voters saying they strongly disapprove of President Biden.
00:41:56.440The share who say they've gotten worse off under the current administration, the highest ever in exit polls that have asked the question, surpassing the Great Recession.
00:42:04.960It's amazing that Democrats have finally caught on the finger pointing in that party seems extraordinary.
00:42:13.660I read reports this weekend that Kamala Harris has called both Barack and Michelle Obama, but they're not returning her calls.
00:42:25.040You could go to MSNBC if you want to suck up some liberal tears.
00:42:30.060It's all about misogyny and toxic masculinity.
00:42:36.080No, it's about the fact that your policies have failed.
00:42:39.760Your policies have brought us record inflation, record gasoline prices, record food prices, record increase in crime, a drug epidemic based on your open borders policy.
00:42:55.420The hardcore left doesn't want to demonstrate this has nothing to do with misogyny or the fact that Trump performed slightly better with men than he did with women.
00:43:09.840It has to do that their policies have completely failed and voters' memories are keen enough that they remember how much better they had it just four years ago under President Donald Trump.
00:43:21.800So this is the greatest single comeback in American political history.
00:43:28.400The previous record holder for that title would be one, Richard M. Nixon.
00:43:33.520Election night, I thought to myself, well, you know what?
00:43:36.140Somewhere Nixon is looking down from heaven, smiling broadly.
00:43:40.580This is not just a victory for our country.
00:43:44.740It's also a personal victory for Donald Trump.
00:43:48.120As you know, I had declined for two and a half years to go on with with Piers Morgan, who kept inviting me on.
00:43:58.280I didn't like the way that he tried to sandbag Donald Trump in an interview with him that I saw.
00:44:03.420And I kept declining their invitation.
00:44:27.780This victory is a testimony to the persistence and the resilience and the courage and the stamina of Donald J. Trump, because the man is a lion.
00:44:42.180Well, and Roger, the idea that he has reshaped the Republican Party is setting in.
00:44:47.440And people are starting to understand that, no, this is a different game.
00:44:51.420And as you know, you really you go back, Roger, and you look politically, you look at what Ronald Reagan was able to accomplish.
00:44:58.900You know, 2016, Roger, I think when you look at what happened after 2016 and the attacks on Trump and the fact that they were basically able to undermine him, they really had written him off as if he was going to go away and he's never going to be back.
00:45:14.080And I remember the news report, Trump leaves the White House for the final time in his life.
00:45:17.940You know, they really wanted to hammer that he'll never be back.
00:45:20.660And now that he is back and he's not only back, but he's reformed the entire voting base of the Republican Party.
00:45:29.260I'm really interested in your thoughts of where we're going to see this go, because we just since Grover Cleveland, we've never had a president win such a resounding victory.
00:45:40.440And he doesn't he doesn't even have to run for reelection.
00:45:44.200So do you think that his governing, the way he governs, is it going to be reflective of of the people he's brought on to his team?
00:45:52.400Or are we going to see a pivot to a more conservative policy here?
00:45:56.660How's he placed? Because he's in a really interesting position that we haven't really seen in a long time.
00:46:01.660Somebody coming fresh into the office that doesn't have to run for reelection.
00:46:05.100It's a totally different ballgame now.
00:46:29.380But the other appointment that actually, strangely enough, was announced late last night.
00:46:34.600Tom Homan, who had been the head of ICE during the Trump administration, now appointed a border czar in charge of beginning the process of deportation of the millions of illegals who came here, beginning, I think, quite practically with those who have criminal records.
00:47:11.200But again, Donald Trump keeping his promises.
00:47:14.520He said this was his highest priority.
00:47:16.240And in the appointment of Homan, which I think is an excellent appointment, he has the right man for the job.
00:47:23.780The other good appointment that I'm very happy about is former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin, who ran an incredibly strong campaign for governor of New York state.
00:47:34.680That is fighting your way uphill, folks.
00:47:37.660That is about one of the bluest states in the country, ran a great race, underfunded, running against Kathy Hochul, who's drowning in special interest campaign money, now going to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
00:47:53.300Another excellent appointment by President Donald Trump.
00:47:57.040We are waiting with bated breath for the president's decision regarding Secretary of State, which many people believe will be announced here in the very near future, Secretary of Defense.
00:48:11.900We now know Mike Pompeo out of the running in that particular race and other key roles.
00:48:19.620But I don't expect to see the kind of neocon encroachment that we saw in 2016.
00:48:29.4402016, 2017, Donald Trump was a somewhat different person.
00:49:16.100That's what Barack Obama said in 2016, the end of 2016.
00:49:19.900Well, we know now, based on the report of Special Counsel John Durham, that Obama and Biden and CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey and National Security Advisor Susan Rice and others were already involved in a criminal conspiracy.
00:49:38.720Using what they knew was fabricated evidence, the so-called steel dossier, which had been fabricated and paid for by Hillary Clinton, which claimed falsely that President Trump had cavorted with Russian prostitutes when visiting Moscow on a business trip, completely false.
00:49:57.680And the equally false narrative that the Russians hacked the Democrat National Committee and somehow that information ended up in the hands of the Trump campaign.
00:50:08.740The government has never produced any evidence to prove that claim.
00:50:12.640And when I tried to call expert witnesses and provide forensic evidence that would have absolutely proved that there never was any online hack of the DNC by the Russians or anyone else, well, the judge in my case denied us the opportunity to prove that.
00:50:30.740But the FBI did, you'll recall, admit that they had never inspected the computer servers at the DNC.
00:50:40.420So relying entirely on the CrowdStrikes report, the judge wouldn't allow us to have that report, but it was later declassified.
00:50:48.720And the testimony of the testimony of the head of CrowdStrikes for the House Intelligence Committee indicated that there was never any proof of that other piece of the whole Russian collusion hope.
00:51:03.020So I don't know what the deep state is up to, but I do know this.
00:51:08.180I pray for the safety of Donald Trump every single day.
00:51:38.880So folks out there at home who are wondering, what can we do, because we want to see Donald Trump sworn in and begin the golden age of prosperity and peace for this country, the most important thing you can do, folks, is pray.
00:51:52.440Now, when I said that I had been redeemed in the blood of the cross, that I had gone back to the church, I was mocked in Washington Monthly, saying, oh, this is some kind of an act or some kind of a head fake or a bid for sympathy by Stone.
00:52:08.520I don't really care what these liberals think.
00:52:15.240God has anointed Donald Trump for this moment.
00:52:17.680He clearly protected him in that field in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:52:24.500But for the grace of God, Donald Trump would not be on the cusp of being sworn in historically as our 47th president.
00:52:34.440The only other thing I want to say, Troy, yet again, I've said it here on the show previously, and I want to point it out again.
00:52:40.720And that is the only president who's pulled this off before was Grover Cleveland, elected as a Democrat, then defeated for re-election in a disputed election in which his supporters believed that re-election was stolen from them.
00:52:56.640And then he staged the greatest comeback up until that time in American political history.
00:53:01.340And Grover Cleveland, like Donald Trump, was a New Yorker.
00:53:06.620So it is in that tradition that Trump has staged the greatest comeback we will ever see in American politics.
00:53:13.600And if you're a supporter of his, I urge you to join me every day in praying for the safety of our president.
00:53:28.300I think everybody's thinking, how much of what we're going to see here needs to be offensive, establishing a new precedent for government, and how much of it needs to be addressing some of the grievances of the past and nefarious people who think that they have the power to destroy lives and ruin people like they did during this Biden administration?
00:53:49.980Well, I think we've already seen the beginning of this.
00:53:51.760The president is insisting that whoever becomes the new majority leader of the U.S. Senate agree to recess appointments.
00:53:59.760In other words, the president gets to make an appointment, and that person can take office immediately, even before they have been confirmed by the Senate.
00:54:11.140Instead, sometimes they took us almost three and four years to appoint a number, to, pardon me, confirm a number of the president's appointees to stop him from governing with his entire team.
00:54:22.940So the president has already demanded that whoever is elected president of the Senate, pardon me, the majority leader of the Senate, agree to recess appointments so the Trump team can hit the ground running.
00:54:36.280Anyway, I personally have endorsed my own home state senator, Rick Scott, to be the Senate majority leader.
00:54:44.580I've disagreed with him on an issue here or there, but frankly, he was a very, very good governor, particularly compared to the governor we have now.
00:54:52.340And he's been a great U.S. senator for the people of Florida.
00:54:55.940He's exactly the man to carry out the president's agenda.
00:55:18.100John Thune, one of the candidates, actually said that Donald Trump should step down during the 2016 election and be replaced by Mike Pence.
