A blockbuster story that has heads in Washington spinning. The Wall Street Journal reported on a collection of birthday letters gifted to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, three years before he was charged with any crimes. One of the letters, the journal says, includes what appears to be Donald Trump s signature and a crude drawing of a nude woman. Trump quickly denied it was him and says he ll sue the Rupert Murdoch-owned paper.
00:01:25.640Like, we don't, we actually abided by the firewalls between, if there were any investigations that took place,
00:01:32.340those decisions were made in the Justice Department, in the FBI, not in the White House.
00:01:36.420They will find nothing that suggests that there was any political White House involvement in any of that.
00:01:43.040Literally, I learned about the FBI investigation and Trump as a private citizen in the frickin' Washington Post.
00:01:50.760Like, so, like, this, you have to understand that we actually abided by the longstanding practice of the White House not getting involved in that kind of stuff.
00:02:02.000MAGA and Donald Trump are finally on offense.
00:02:06.380This is what they texted, what he texted CNN this morning.
00:02:09.700President Trump has had enough and is fighting back against his real enemies.
00:02:19.900Trump is attacking the Wall Street Journal right now.
00:02:22.060He's trying to rally his supporters around this idea that he is being assailed by the fake news once again.
00:02:29.500That has been an effective strategy for Donald Trump over the years.
00:02:33.620If the news reports on it, if journalists report on something, he turns it right around and has been able to inoculate himself by saying they're all a bunch of scammers and liars.
00:02:45.040I think we're pushing up against the edges of his ability to direct attention and control these news cycles.
00:02:55.740I mean, the thing about this story is that it doesn't go away.
00:02:58.920But also, this story is a huge part of the myth of Donald Trump.
00:03:03.680The thing that he has sold his supporters since even before, you know, QAnon or all of this sort of online, you know, like pedophile ring drama and conspiracy.
00:03:16.400He has been someone who, you know, has said, we're going to champion your ideas.
00:03:21.320We are going to stand up, you know, against the causes that, you know, against the injustices of the world.
00:03:26.960And this idea of this child sex trafficking of this Epstein, you know, theory and the idea of transparency with the files, this is core to the promise he's made to the myth of himself and his administration that he has sold people.
00:03:41.140And so there's almost no way to go on the offensive there because this whole thing is him being defensive.
00:03:48.460He's having to sort of, you know, backtrack or or deflect against this thing that he has sold himself as being, which is this crusader against, you know, this particular injustice.
00:04:01.280This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:06.320Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:04:46.740It is Friday, 18 July, Year of the Lord, 2025, just hitting the wire as we come on here this moment.
00:05:00.240Trump files defamation lawsuit against Wall Street Journal over Epstein report.
00:05:04.580But bigger news, Tulsi Gabbard, the DNI under President Trump, dropped a thermonuclear weapon today on the deep state.
00:05:13.560We've been talking about this for a while.
00:05:15.100It finally dropped and it dwarfed any of the pot shots that the Murdoch organization are taking.
00:05:20.320I got Jack Posobiec, Caroline Wren, Loomer joining us at the bottom of the hour.
00:05:24.260So Posobiec, President Trump's going on offense, right?
00:05:28.840He's going on offense against all of it.
00:05:31.360The biggest part of the offense is not even going to – he's obviously going to the judge to bring the files forward, to do the grand jury testimony, as we said.
00:05:42.820But what we've talked about of the overall attacking the deep state comes with a bombshell today from Tulsi Gabbard.
00:05:50.040Can you walk us through just what the facts are of what got released?
00:05:53.040It has Washington, D.C. now scurrying.
00:05:55.620Steve, well, what DNI Gabbard has released here, and this is chapter and verse, is nothing short of an actual intel community bombshell that really goes back.
00:06:12.160I would say even – we haven't seen anything like this since the days of curveball in the Iraq war, the lies about getting the United States into Iraq with the WMD fake intelligence.
00:06:26.080This is even worse than that because what she's found and what her team has found over there in the intel community – and, you know, I had the opportunity.
00:06:34.920I saw her speak at Turning Point last week, and, you know, you got this sense that something big was coming.
00:06:40.920Her team was telling us something big was coming.
00:06:46.380We remember with this intel community assessment that go all the way back to 2016, one of the first inklings that the Russiagate hoax would be coming full circle was this intel community assessment that was created and leaked almost instantaneously in December of 2016 saying that Russia had intervened on behalf of Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
00:07:11.440And this was assessed by the intel community.
00:07:13.640I was a member of the intel community at the time.
00:07:16.400I had the opportunity to read both the unclassified portion of it as well as the classified portion of it.
00:07:22.660I didn't find either of them to be particularly compelling.
00:07:26.260But now we find that that's because that wasn't the original report.
00:07:30.820The original report of the intel community assessment, which DNI Gabbard has published now and declassified in full for the first time ever, said that Russia – and, in fact, no one – interfered in the 2016 election.
00:07:50.800It was trashed because of political considerations, and then there's hundreds of files of emails and responses back and forth, as well as this meeting that was held just weeks after the election where the president of the United States meets with the National Security Council and the heads of the top intel agencies to decide what the new assessment should read.
00:08:17.400Steve, I've never seen anything like this.
00:08:20.800This is absolutely – and we put in there the Ben Rhodes, I guess, podcast or the bald-faced lie of Ben Rhodes.
00:08:28.700Caroline Wren, how big a deal is this?
00:08:30.540Because here you have – and this is why we asked Jack to vet them.
00:08:34.480These aren't – only part of these are IC documents.
00:08:37.480These are really emails and directives from the political side directing the intelligence community to come to a conclusion that will form the predicate for the Russia hoax and the Mueller commission, the Mueller investigation, correct?
00:08:50.800Yes, and that clip he played in the opening, I mean, that was Obama's U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Communications, Ben Rhodes, who was saying in an interview that he and Obama and all White House, you know, political officials had no idea about the Russia-gate investigation while working in the White House and that he only found out about it from the Washington Post as a private citizen.
00:09:14.220Well, in those documents that Tulsi put out today and the meeting that Jack just described there, that meeting took place on December 9th in the White House.
00:09:24.340So he – not only did they know about it ahead of time, they came up with the plan in that meeting in the White House.
00:09:31.380He lied and said he found out as a private citizen.
00:09:33.880The whole interview was an absolute lie, and it is just a disgrace.
00:09:37.180And even worse, Tulsi put out more info.
00:09:39.560That afternoon is when the Washington Post report started to come out and the leaks about Russiagate.
00:09:44.460So they literally left that meeting with the national security team where they came up with this plan, and then Ben Rhodes and Lisa Monaco, who was also in the meeting, and Julie Kelly reported this earlier, then just went and started briefing reporters and, you know, just drop – oppo-dumping all what were absolutely lies.
00:10:00.220Jack, also remember towards – it was around Thanksgiving off of this initial report that showed there was nothing there.
00:10:12.040They ordered home what the most Russian officials ever is bigger than the Cold War.
00:10:25.340They caused a diplomatic crisis on what is now obviously a lie because what they were trying to do, everything they did to the crossfire hurricane and all of that to stop Trump to actually win in 2016 after he won, right, and the Electoral College was about to meet.
00:10:42.920Then they were – this was the beginning of the nullification project, right, to basically smear Trump in front of the world and or remove him – try to remove him from office, sir.
00:10:51.820Yeah, Steve, this goes deeper than I think anyone realized, and you're exactly right because not only did it start this diplomatic row between the United States and Russia, it can only be viewed as a hostile act by a foreign government if you're on the Russian side.
00:11:12.520Keep in mind this is just two years after the overthrow of the government in Ukraine with U.S. intelligence backing.
00:11:18.120And so to the Russians, this may have very well set in motion the events that led to the Ukraine war, the events that led to all of these things going on, this horrific killing that we see now.
00:11:30.840And by the way, it was none other than Jake Sullivan himself who was one of the very originators of the Russiagate hoax back when he was on the Hillary campaign.
00:11:41.360Back then we know all of his deep ties to Ben Rhodes and this entire group of people that was in the meeting there on December 9th.
00:11:49.360It wouldn't surprise me at all if Jake Sullivan, Ben Rhodes, and the entire Hillary Obama team together worked to push this thing forward.
00:11:59.340Now, this also is the reason, remember, part of the overall geo-strategic outlook was to try to do a rapprochement with Russia to do reverse what Nixon had done to basically pull Russia out of the orbit of the Chinese Communist Party and do a true pivot to Asia where we can confront the Chinese Communist Party with Russia either as a neutral or some sort of assistant,
00:12:26.540just like Nixon pulled China to his side to begin the process of taking down the Soviet Union.
00:12:33.620This has massive geopolitical implications.
00:12:36.360It's had huge implications on our defense budget, our spending, the Ukraine war, all of it.
00:12:42.000This is the railhead, and this is why Tulsi is so brave to put this forward.
00:12:46.680And you're going to see these people avoid this and try to avoid it.
00:12:49.420It is our responsibility to drive the story.
00:12:52.720Just like Audubon in this, they want to avoid this.
00:13:26.740Well, six years ago, Attorney General Bill Barr said he appointed Durham to investigate these irregularities by government officials behind the Russia collusion hoax.
00:13:34.940And yet we learned more from Tulsi Gabbard in one day than Durham gave us over four years.
00:13:44.080Seditious conspiracy, which is defined as two or more people conspiring to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the U.S. government.
00:13:51.020That is what this was, seditious conspiracy and treason.
00:13:58.400To Durham, I tell you, we've got to get into Durham's defense.
00:14:01.800I think they refused to declassify these.
00:14:05.820This is why having Tulsi Gabbard, folks, all of that effort to get these confirmations, this is what you get.
00:14:13.100And now President Trump's on offense against the deep state and the whole arc of it, and also in the Epstein situation, and particularly against Fox.
00:14:22.620He just dropped a huge defamation suit on the civil side.
00:14:27.720What Caroline Renn and Jack Persobert are saying, that this is a criminal conspiracy.
00:14:31.520This is the grand criminal conspiracy right now.
00:14:34.740And this is just the tip of the spear.
00:14:36.100This is just the first batch they're releasing.
00:14:37.860And watch these cockroaches and rats run, you know, run when the stones are turned over like Ben Rhodes.
00:14:44.940They'll sit there and bald-faced lie to you.
00:23:28.120And certainly not in the Obama admin saying that they actually they withheld the president's daily brief so that they could set this up with this assessment in it as the one that's put.
00:23:38.400Because the PDB, it doesn't just go to the president.
00:23:41.600That's what everyone has to understand.
00:23:42.740It goes to senior members of the government.
00:23:46.120It goes to senior members of the military.
00:23:49.860There are various versions of it that can be read.
00:23:52.040The president's version, of course, is the most highly classified.
00:23:55.840And then if you go dig, dig deeper into it, you can get into other levels of compartmentalization because the president's the one he's supposed to be able to see everything that's in there.
00:24:04.200They withheld the PDB so that they could set this up this way.
00:24:08.100And by the way, email after email in here says this is POTUS.
00:24:33.840This is why the meeting took place on the third to explain it, where they slipped in at the end, the dossier in a brown paper envelope and gave it to gave it to BuzzFeed.
00:24:43.200Ben Smith and that team, I think BuzzFeed that afternoon.
00:25:20.940When you go back in the time frame, the PDB would be given to the president elect.
00:25:26.540And that, of course, at the time was President Trump.
00:25:29.260So they made sure to withdraw the original ICA before President Trump could and his team could get a copy of it so that they could only see the revised one.
00:25:43.940That's why they held this from the from they were holding it back from Obama.
00:25:49.300They were making sure that Trump wouldn't have access to it.
00:29:50.000I think that we also learned that maybe from Laura Loomer, who's become a pivotal figure, almost in the kind of role that Steve Bannon was in when he left the first Trump term, but continued to stay closely connected from the outside.
00:30:06.060What is your sense of where this is heading in terms of that power center shifting to Laura Loomer?
00:30:15.580Yeah, I mean, look, she's going to she's going to her presence is going to increase.
00:30:21.700She's going to you know, she's going to continue to have to shape the contours of the administration, especially on some of these big things.
00:30:27.440And she's been playing that role, you know, on and off for a while now.
00:30:31.200And each time her influence gets slightly larger and she gets more connected to parts of the right echo chamber that then either sound more like her or parrot her.
00:30:40.220It's very weird for Megyn Kelly, for example, this time around to be sounding and echoing things that Laura Loomer had been saying, even though they're obviously both on the right.
00:30:49.500Megyn Kelly usually doesn't sound like Laura Loomer.
00:30:51.620And yet for the last couple of weeks, she has.
00:30:53.780And that's an example of the type of influence that somebody like Loomer has when people are parroting that.
00:31:00.320I think, in fact, I think her her attacks get sharper and more focused on individuals as she continues to try to use that as a vehicle to driving out people.
00:31:09.020And in terms of the larger dynamics, a few things happened here that I think are worth noting.
00:31:15.680J.D. Vance, the vice president, part of his role does seem to be to be the guy online helping, you know, not be an assignment editor of sorts,
00:31:24.040but to help indicate what things are talking about and to combat or defend the administration,
00:31:28.180advocate for the administration's policies or politics.
00:31:31.060He wasn't doing that for the past two weeks.
00:31:32.740If you look at his Twitter account, he wasn't talking about Epstein.
00:31:34.820He wasn't doing the thing that he normally does.
00:34:05.080I'd say that this is the most transparent administration in U.S. history.
00:34:09.720Of course, we had a little bit of a fumble with Blondie and the Epstein debacle.
00:34:14.040But the media is so desperate to focus on Jeffrey Epstein.
00:34:19.140And I think I honestly wonder if it's because maybe somebody at DNI, perhaps there may have been a leak to let them know that something like this was coming.
00:34:27.360Because it seems like there was a very coordinated effort, a kind of drumroll effect to create this hoax, as President Trump said.
00:34:37.700They accused him yesterday of sending Jeffrey Epstein some weird gay kind of love letter, poem, happy birthday message.
00:35:09.140And hopefully now with his lawsuit against that abomination, Rupert Murdoch, he probably should have sued Rupert Murdoch a long time ago.
00:35:17.080If you recall, during the primary, Rupert Murdoch met with Ron DeSantis and told him that he was going to dedicate his entire media operation.
00:35:25.200And let me tell you, I've been in the room with President Trump and his staff when Rupert Murdoch has called him on the phone to try to kiss his ass.
00:35:32.680So I think that this should be, you know, an awakening for President Trump to cut him off forever.
00:35:39.180Rupert Murdoch should never be allowed to have access to Donald Trump ever again.
00:35:45.400And he obviously tried to weaponize his news corp and his media platform, a very wealthy multi-billion dollar media platform, to assassinate the character of President Trump because he was not successful in assassinating President Trump's 2024 presidential election in the primary, to his dismay.
00:36:09.140I want to get to what you're doing tonight.
00:36:10.920By the way, breaking news from the engine room, Attorney General Pam Bondi has formally submitted a court motion to unseal the grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:36:23.200There's going to be a big fight there.
00:36:24.740It's obvious they tried to get ahead of this bombshell today because this shows that the receipts, and this is why Tulsi put it out so smartly just on Twitter so everybody can read it, everybody can see it, put out the original documents that shows a coup,
00:36:37.860a well-thought-through coup against President Trump, a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump to try to destroy his first term and get him impeached and ruled out.
00:36:49.280And they try to get ahead of this with this bogus Wall Street Journal story.
00:36:52.640And this, folks, is why I was attacking the Murdochs years ago when nobody else would stand up to them.
00:36:58.480Everybody's afraid and wet themselves and afraid they're not going to get on Fox and not going to get on the Hannity show, et cetera.
00:37:04.740Well, you don't need to do that if the guy's totally evil.
00:37:07.800And I hope with this massive lawsuit that President Trump just filed, Murdoch's own lawyers won't let him talk to President Trump because they're in a lawsuit.
00:37:15.320Laura Loomer, the key to this is that they lied about all this stuff with Russia to prevent us from actually getting a rapprochement with Russia
00:37:24.720and pivoting like Nixon did in reverse against the Chinese Communist Party, which is the main thing, the existential threat to our nation.
00:37:31.760And you've got a bombshell that's going to come up on your podcast in about a half hour, I think, that talks about even more about this and Obama.
00:37:41.780So there's a Navy whistleblower named Tom Schiller who has not gone public yet.
00:37:47.000The first time he's going public is tonight live on my show.
00:37:50.480So tune in rumble.com slash Laura Loomer in 30 minutes going live with this bombshell exclusive.
00:37:55.300There was a ProPublica report that came out this week about how during the Obama administration, Microsoft signed a contract with the federal government to implement a system called Microsoft Government Azure.
00:38:09.900And under this system, Microsoft essentially was able to have the government contract for all of the cybersecurity and technological software and platforms across all government agencies.
00:38:24.700And it turns out this whistleblower, who I've been in communication with for months planning this release, discovered that the tech support for Microsoft Government Azure is based out of China.
00:38:39.380And so essentially what you have here is classified information that is being accessed by Chinese foreign nationals in China because Microsoft has outsourced the tech support to Chinese nationals.
00:38:53.380And as we know, every Chinese national has a duty to collect as much intelligence on foreign nations adversaries as possible and deliver it to the CCP.
00:39:05.980And they are all pledging their allegiance to the CCP.
00:39:10.160And this is a massive problem because who is the person who signed off on Microsoft Azure personally approving it?
00:40:30.880Okay, General Hogg participated in espionage by not acting on the reports and the warnings of a Navy Reservist whistleblower who informed him and showed him with receipts that China had a backdoor access.
00:40:45.180I have a video that I will be airing on my show tonight of a Department of Defense official recording interacting with one of these Microsoft Government Azure tech support officials who confirms that they are in China and that all of the tech support is in China.
00:41:03.720So we have video evidence of this firsthand testimony.
00:41:06.920You're going to hear all of it for the first time on Loomer Unleashed tonight.
00:41:10.680I mean, this is sending this is sending shockwaves.
00:41:13.260I have been on the phone with the United States senators today, the Department of Defense, the Navy.
00:41:18.200I have been on the phone with our national security officials all day long trying to get them up to speed on this.
00:41:25.140And they are on the tip of their toes waiting to watch this interview because of the national security implications that this carries.
00:41:31.040Can we have what's your social media, Laura?
00:41:54.560Enable notifications so that you never miss an episode.
00:41:57.020I'm telling you, this is shocking, Steve.
00:41:59.300And it is evidence that it's not just the DOD.
00:42:02.120China, the CCP, has had access, thanks to Barack Hussein Obama, to every single bit of classified information that has been transmitted over email or any technological device within the federal government across all government agencies because of this backdoor access through these Chinese tech support workers.
00:42:25.360They should drag Microsoft before Congress.
00:42:27.760I mean, honestly, the fact that Microsoft has made $30 billion off of this contract, they need to have a criminal investigation.
00:43:59.440A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:06.060Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:15.440Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:22.480His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:34.680Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:40.860This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:46:09.200You probably noticed that Global Pulse, Daily News, and also America First News.
00:46:15.020We have lots of new videos coming out.
00:46:17.820If you go to the breaking column, you will find all the real-time news and the newest news and information you cannot really find anywhere else.
00:46:28.420For example, from the normal life of elderly people in China, communist China, the real life, to the meeting between Xinjiang and Putin on a super yacht.
00:46:40.940And also, just Daily News just broke the news of Xi Jinping's daughter going to appear on Tiananmen Square on September 3rd for the military parade.
00:46:50.300You cannot really find any information of that anywhere else.
00:46:54.600And we're living in an area where, like, all the fake news and hoaxes and now, like, this Russia hoax and Obama thing came out.
00:47:01.620And we've been, like, rooting for free speech and no censorship and free speech, absolute social media all the time.
