Speaker 1: On Monday, President elect Donald Trump will be sworn in
Speaker 1: as the forty seventh president of the United States. The
Speaker 1: inauguration will officially mark Trump's return to the White House
Speaker 1: after losing to Joe Biden in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: By the way, the event.
Speaker 1: Has been moved indoors due to defrigid temperatures forecast in Washington,
Speaker 1: DC on Monday. The last time in the inauguration was
Speaker 1: held indoors was back in nineteen eighty five, when Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan was sworn in for his second term as president. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: six of Trump's big office nominees faced Senate confirmation hearings
Speaker 1: this past week. Some of the candidates included Pam Bondy
Speaker 1: for Attorney General, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Sean
Speaker 1: Duffy for Transportation Secretary, and John Radcliffe for CIA Director.
Speaker 1: The confirmation hearings were off the contentions for many of
Speaker 1: the candidates. Take a listen to some of the sound
Speaker 1: front Wednesday, when Pam Bondy sat down before the committee.
Speaker 3: Are you prepared to say today under oath without reservation
Speaker 3: that Donald Trump lost the presidential contest to Joe Biden
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Ranking member Derwin. President Biden is the President of the
Speaker 4: United States. He was duly sworn in, and he is
Speaker 4: the President of the United States. There was a peaceful
Speaker 4: transition of power. President Trump left office and was overwhelmingly
Speaker 4: elected in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Do you have any doubts that Joe Biden had the
Speaker 3: majority of votes electoral votes necessary to be elected president
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty You.
Speaker 4: Know, Senator, all I can tell you as a prosecutor
Speaker 4: is from my first hand experience, and I accept the results.
Speaker 4: I accept, of course, that Joe Biden is President of
Speaker 4: the United States. But what I can tell you is
Speaker 4: what I saw first hand when I went to Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: as an advocate for the campaign. I was an advocate
Speaker 4: for the campaign, and I was on the ground in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 4: and I saw many things there. But do I accept
Speaker 4: the results, of course I do. Do I agree with
Speaker 4: what happened, and I saw so much. No one from
Speaker 4: either side of the aisle should want there to be
Speaker 4: any issues with election integrity in our country. We should
Speaker 4: all want our elections to be free and fair and
Speaker 4: the rules and the laws to be followed.
Speaker 3: I think that question deserved a yes or no, and
Speaker 3: I think the length of your answer is an indication
Speaker 3: that you weren't prepared to answer. Yes.
Speaker 1: I try to keep my cool and all of this.
Speaker 1: I don't like having our time wasted. The Democrats in
Speaker 1: this particular situation look utterly pathetic. It's the year twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five and you're talking about election results from twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Clearly there are millions of American citizens.
Speaker 2: Who believed it was rigged. Do I believe they were wrong? Yes?
Speaker 1: Do I believe that Trump lost in twenty twenty fair
Speaker 1: and square.
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Do I believe that Joe Biden won the election.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I also believe that most people didn't vote for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. They voted against Donald Trump, just like I
Speaker 1: don't believe most people voted for Donald Trump in this
Speaker 1: election against Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: I believe they were voting against woke culture. Period. That's
Speaker 2: how I feel.
Speaker 1: No matter what your feelings are, you want me to
Speaker 1: tell you the idiocy of what transpired with some of
Speaker 1: the Senate confirmation hearings this week, particularly with Pam Bondy.
Speaker 1: She was an attorney representing Donald Trump in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: election interference in Pennsylvania. Why would she admit otherwise she's
Speaker 1: working for She was fighting against the state of Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: about the election in twenty twenty. That's what she was doing.
Speaker 1: Why would you even ask her that? And why would
Speaker 1: we sit up here now with her in line to
Speaker 1: be the next Attorney General for the United States of
Speaker 1: America and ask her about whether she believed he truly
Speaker 1: truly lost in twenty twenty. Clearly she did it she
Speaker 1: was representing him, or even if she did, she was
Speaker 1: willing to make an argument.
Speaker 2: To support his point. If she supported this point all of.
Speaker 1: These years, why would she come up on Capitol Hill
Speaker 1: and say.
Speaker 2: Otherwise you knew that, you all saw tone deaf.
Speaker 1: That's how you're coming across if you're a Democrat.
Speaker 2: Because nobody cares about that anymore. He's about to be
Speaker 2: sworn in as.
Speaker 1: The forty seventh president of the United States of America.
Speaker 2: Period he was impeached twice, they didn't care.
Speaker 1: It was thirty four felony convictions on a hush money
Speaker 1: trial that everybody was saying, what's the difference between him
Speaker 1: going through his lawyer to pay us money to a
Speaker 1: former poet star, what's the difference between that and an NBA.
Speaker 2: They thought it was rigged.
Speaker 1: They thought the Democrats would use a law fear to
Speaker 1: keep him out of office because they couldn't beat him
Speaker 1: on their own, and then he showed up on an
Speaker 1: election day and showed them they couldn't beat them. You
Speaker 1: would think, in the face of all of that, you
Speaker 1: would be quiet, or you would strictly stick to the
Speaker 1: questions pertinent to an attorney general.
Speaker 2: But they sounded like they were still.
Speaker 1: On the campaign trail, talking to constituencies, in front of
Speaker 1: mass rallies, spewing the rhetoric that would dissuade them from
Speaker 1: even thinking about Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: No, the election is over, he won, you lost.
Speaker 1: Here's a better question, and this one is for the
Speaker 1: Democrats as opposed to them asking the questions to the
Speaker 1: other side. When you're gonna get a candidate that can
Speaker 1: beat them, and in him I don't mean him literally
Speaker 1: because he ain't running for office again.
Speaker 2: I mean JD.
Speaker 1: Vans because the way y'all look up on Capitol Hill,
Speaker 1: it's so sad.
Speaker 2: You gonna get JD.
Speaker 1: Vans elected and you're gonna have a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: Conservatives winning these elections because they're looking at you with your.
Speaker 2: Head in the saying not embracing reality. You lost.
Speaker 1: Nancy Beelosi's not gonna show up to the inauguration final
Speaker 1: at least she's consistent.
Speaker 2: She doesn't like she doesn't want to be there.
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama's not showing up to the inauguration, Fine, no problem,
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to be there. Their positions are consistent.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden called them a racis. Now you're working with them,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris said a whole bunch of things about them.
Speaker 2: She's gonna be on that stage. Y'all tried everything.
Speaker 1: You lost, and the inability to accept the fact that
Speaker 1: you lost not just the White House, but the House
Speaker 1: and the Senate as well, and the inability to look
Speaker 1: at yourself and to see how tone deaf you are
Speaker 1: and how annoyed people are at the fact that.
Speaker 2: You are that way.
Speaker 1: Let me tell y'all something, looking at that for what
Speaker 1: it is. You're going this way. You're going this way.
Speaker 1: Folks are tired of it. They want the economy addressed,
Speaker 1: they want our border security address, they want the streets
Speaker 1: of America safe.
Speaker 2: That's what folks want.
Speaker 1: And if you want to look at him as a criminal,
Speaker 1: you know what the right said, you know what the
Speaker 1: conservative said, the hell with it.
Speaker 2: He's still a bit closer to normalcy than y'all. That's
Speaker 2: what they're saying. That's how they're looking at the left
Speaker 2: and knowing this. You showed up in.
Speaker 1: A confirmation hearing This wasn't Haccept that you're talking to
Speaker 1: with allegations about his sexual behavior or whatever the case
Speaker 1: may be. This wasn't Gates, who you absolutely despised and
Speaker 1: you didn't want an office, and that was.
Speaker 2: The right decision.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is her Pambondy, whose qualifications nobody questions.
Speaker 1: All you're doing is show on the same level of
Speaker 1: desperation your show.
Speaker 2: To with Trump, and he beats you anyway.
Speaker 1: Until you learn to live with it, all of you
Speaker 1: Democrats on Capitol Hill, until you learn to live with
Speaker 1: that reality, you're not gonna resonate with anybody. A matter
Speaker 1: of fact, you're gonna lose a lot of people. Because
Speaker 1: I ain't about to call myself a Republican and I
Speaker 1: ain't about to swear to you that I'm gonna vote
Speaker 1: conservative and Republican everywhere down the line. But I will
Speaker 1: say this, I've got no problems avoiding supporting you based
Speaker 1: on what I'm seeing.
Speaker 2: It's utterly ridiculous.
