On today's episode of Loomer Unleashed, host Laura Loomer is joined by Chris LaCarrada, founder of Grassi, a sponsor of the show, to discuss the latest in the confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. and the lack of diversity within the Republican Party.
00:31:10.000We have a lot to talk about tonight, so we're just going to go ahead and get right into it.
00:31:15.000If you were following me from early this morning, from the moment I woke up, it's been pretty explosive.
00:31:21.000We're going to have Chris LaCarrada, the founder of Grassi, who's also a sponsor of Loomer Unleashed, join us momentarily.
00:31:29.000But before he comes on the show and we talk about everything that happened today up on Capitol Hill, And over these last two days with the confirmation hearings with Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr., I'll have to give you a preview so that you can understand why this is going to be one of the more highly anticipated episodes of Loomer Unleashed tonight.
00:31:49.000Some of you may have seen there's an individual, a woman by the name of Lindy Lee, who is gaining a lot of traction on the internet right now amongst...
00:31:59.000Right-wing circles, and I guess you could say even Democrat circles.
00:32:04.000Lindy Lee is a Chinese immigrant who rose to prominence in the Democrat Party doing fundraising for the Democrats, raising money for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' campaign, even running for Congress herself.
00:32:19.000And she has a long history of making very, very, very derogatory We have those images.
00:32:35.000We're going to show all of you the receipts tonight.
00:32:37.000And I was posting about this because I've noticed that for some reason there's a lack of vetting in the Republican Party and within the GOP just in general.
00:32:47.000And any single time, any kind of minority or any kind of immigrant...
00:32:52.000Says one thing bad about the Democrats or Joe Biden, or they say something that sounds believable or convincing about the GOP. Republicans just immediately put their guard down because for some reason, and I don't know, I don't know what the problem is.
00:33:09.000I'm going to start calling it tokenization syndrome.
00:33:12.000I think I'm going to coin that term tonight.
00:33:17.000The Republican Party is addicted to having tokens.
00:33:21.000And whether it's Asians or blacks or whether it's Hispanics or Muslims, whatever it may be, there's an egregious lack of vetting.
00:33:31.000And constantly, time and time again, the Republican Party ends up stepping in it.
00:33:37.000You know, we've had Black Lives Matter activists who have said that they were all of a sudden pro-MAGA, and yet, you know, some of these individuals have been tied up in fraudulent scams, but the Republican Party turns blind eye to it because they're so desperate to have that validation from a black person or a Hispanic person or an Asian woman or a Muslim that they don't do any basic research.
00:34:01.000We saw this almost bite the Trump campaign in the ass recently when during their Muslim outreach in Dearborn, Michigan, you had individuals who were advocating for Hamas and Hezbollah who all of a sudden decided because of the issue between the war of Israel and Hamas that they wanted to endorse President Trump.
00:34:18.000And so some genius on President Trump's campaign thought it was going to be a good idea to allow for an imam.
00:34:26.000To give the invocation at President Trump's inauguration.
00:34:29.000And obviously this didn't end up happening because, well, people like myself and others brought it to the Trump campaign's awareness and then ultimately the media ended up picking up on this because somebody within the campaign failed to do vetting.
00:34:46.000Because this imam was actually cited as refusing to condemn Hezbollah and actually supported Hezbollah.
00:34:54.000And because he was a Muslim who said that he supported President Trump, people on Trump's campaign and the inaugural committee were willing to allow this pro-Hezbollah imam to give the invocation.
00:35:06.000Thank God he was not able to give the invocation.
00:35:09.000And thank God there was no Islamic speaker, period, at President Trump's inauguration.
00:35:14.000But this has happened over and over and over again.
00:35:19.000I mean, look, there have been instances of, you know, there was an instance during the campaign of a woman in California who had been charged with animal abuse.
00:35:30.000And for some reason, I guess she had a rich husband.
00:35:33.000Who ended up giving money to the Trump campaign and she was almost appointed as a delegate for the convention.
00:35:39.000So, again, I love President Trump and I love the message of the Trump campaign and the Trump administration, but unfortunately, within the Republican apparatus and within the overall GOP apparatus, there's such a thirst for tokenization.
00:35:59.000That there's really not a lot of vetting going on.
00:36:02.000And so unfortunately, you know, we have bad actors and people who have said the most terrible things about President Trump.
00:36:09.000I mean, we see this now with a lot of the tech billionaires who are being invited into Trump's circle.
00:36:13.000And now, even after the fact, right, people who...
00:36:16.000Worked with the Democrat Party and worked with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, like Lindy Lee, all throughout the 2024 election season, now being welcomed on board to the inaugural committee.
00:36:27.000Yes, in fact, this woman, Lindy Lee, even though she has been accused of being a CCP asset, even though she has called President Trump a serial rapist, even though she has said that Trump supporters are Klan members, was actually appointed to the Trump Vance inaugural committee, believe it or not.
00:36:45.000And so I posted some information about Lindy Lee because people like Benny Johnson and Dinesh D'Souza and Glenn Beck have been trying to normalize this woman and bring her onto their podcast so that she can reinvent herself, even though, you know, she spent the entire election season bashing President Trump.
00:37:06.000And it was only just, you know, a day after the election that she decided that she hated Joe Biden and then wanted to be a Trump supporter.
00:37:14.000You know, like, this isn't a reawakening.
00:37:19.000And so I've been monitoring a lot of the statements that this woman has been making.
00:37:24.000There have been people out there who followed her congressional campaigns, people who have monitored her social media postings, who believe that she is a foreign agent.
00:37:35.000Now, I'm not accusing Lindy Lee of being a CCP asset.
00:37:38.000I'm not accusing Lindy Lee of being a foreign agent.
00:37:42.000But I do find it to be rather suspicious that an individual who was born in China is now all of a sudden trying to just infiltrate the GOP And so we're going to get into this.
00:38:09.000You can scroll my social media timeline if you haven't seen the interaction.
00:38:13.000She blocked me on social media because I pointed out the fact that she said she doesn't even speak Chinese.
00:38:23.000Multiple videos of her speaking Chinese with my investigative team here at Loomer Unleashed, including the account that works with me often, CCP Skit Tracer.
00:38:34.000If you're not following it, be sure that you're following his account.
00:38:37.000And then to my surprise, I suppose, this morning I received a DM message from Lindy Lee.
00:38:43.000And without revealing all of the screenshots...
00:38:48.000I suppose my producer can show that screenshot so that you can see that that's how the interaction went down.
00:38:54.000So, Cannon, go ahead and screenshot the first interaction.
00:38:58.000You don't need to show the entire DM thread, but you can show that Lindy Lee did, in fact, contact the show account.
00:39:05.000She didn't contact my personal account because she blocked me.
00:39:09.000She claims that she blocked me because people were tagging her, but...
00:39:13.000My first interaction with her was months ago, actually, before yesterday.
00:39:17.000And she had me blocked even before I ever tweeted at her.
00:39:22.000So I wouldn't really agree with the premise of her claim that she blocked me because my supporters were tagging her because I first found that I was blocked by her the first time I ever posted about her around the time of the inauguration when I discovered that she was on the inaugural committee despite her history of making derogatory anti-Trump comments.
00:39:43.000Long story short, Lindy Lee reached out to the Loomer Unleashed account and asked if she could have a conversation with me.
00:39:51.000And I decided that if Lindy Lee wanted to have a conversation with me, she could have that conversation on the phone here on Loomer Unleashed.
00:39:59.000So I have not had any phone calls with Lindy Lee today or ever.
00:40:04.000And this is going to be our first time having a conversation tonight over video here live on Loomer Unleashed because we were DMing today and we were going back and forth about the show and she did agree to come on the show.
00:40:33.000The founder of Grassy, the sponsor of Loomer Unleashed.
00:40:38.000But Cannon, let's go ahead and get this so that people can see the DM. Because I just want to be fully transparent with everybody so that they understand how this went down.
00:41:04.000That was sent to the Loomer Unleashed account, and we replied from the Loomer Unleashed account, would you like to come on her show?
00:41:12.000And then afterwards, you can show, I guess, the other messages as well, just so that there's a full understanding of what the viewers can expect tonight.
00:41:21.000Because I have not had any conversations with Lindy.
00:41:25.000The communication has been with my producer thus far.
00:41:28.000She has been communicating with my producer.
00:41:33.000And, you know, my producer sent me the messages that he was going to send to Lindy, and I approved the messages.
00:41:39.000And so we sent the messages, and, you know, she asked if it was going to be an ambush.
00:41:45.000And I said, well, you know, it depends on your understanding of what the term ambush is because...
00:41:50.000It's not intended to be an ambush, but we are going to be asking Lindy questions tonight about her comments and about her statements and about the inconsistencies with her statements as it relates to the things I've uncovered.
00:42:04.000And so we're going to have a respectful conversation tonight, and we're going to have an open and truthful conversation tonight.
00:42:12.000It's going to be a peaceful and respectful conversation, but that's how that's going to go down.
00:42:20.000Anybody is welcome on Loomer Unleashed, especially people that I'm reporting on or people that I'm commenting on.
00:42:25.000And this is a lesson for all of my detractors or anybody who ends up finding themselves in the middle of Loomer Unleashed reports or any of my reports.
00:42:34.000I'm open to having anybody on my show.
00:42:36.000It doesn't matter if you're a lawmaker, if you're a private citizen, or you're a public figure.
00:42:40.000If I'm reporting on you and you want to either refute my reporting or you want to give your own point of view or you want to...
00:42:51.000You're more than welcome to come on Loomer Unleashed.
00:42:53.000And so in the next 45 minutes or so, Lindy Lee is going to be coming on.

00:43:51.000There are documents pertaining to Lindy Lee that we have not publicly released yet that we are going to be asking her about live on air tonight.
00:43:58.000And so stay tuned because she's going to be coming on in the next 45 minutes.
00:44:03.000But before that, I want to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleash, Grassy.
00:44:09.000Sip on the power of nature with Grassy, the organic wellness water that does more than just hydrate.
00:44:15.000This small business was founded on a mission to keep jobs here at home in America, especially in rural communities.
00:44:21.000Grassi is committed to investing in American manufacturing instead of sending production overseas.
00:44:26.000Made and sourced in the United States, each bottle of Grassi is packed with detoxifying barley grass juice powder, plus 100% of your daily vitamins, C, D, and zinc, giving you and your body the clean energy and the immune boost that you need.
00:44:39.000It's USDA-certified, organic, plant-based, vegan, and it's low in sugar.
00:44:43.000Which makes it the perfect drink for athletes, families, and anybody who wants to stay healthy on the go.
00:44:51.000I don't have a lot of time to eat all the time.
00:44:54.000So I like drinking these drinks because I feel like, because I'm not really getting a lot of nutrition because I... I kind of eat just once a day these days because I get so tied up and bogged down in my work.
00:45:05.000I feel like I'm getting my daily vitamin dose by drinking Grossi and I feel like it helps me when I'm feeling lightheaded or when I'm feeling a little under the weather or maybe I'm not feeling well because, well, I'm kind of run down from working so much.
00:45:20.000That's G-R-A-S-I.com and use code LAURA20 and you can save 20% off on your entire purchase today.
00:45:28.000When you sip on Grassi, you're not just nourishing yourself, you're helping support American workers and local communities across our country.
00:45:35.000And if there's one thing that you know about me, I always stand with American workers, American businesses, and American manufacturing.
00:45:41.000And it's quite fitting that the sponsor of today's episode of Loomer Unleashed is Grassi, given the fact that today we witnessed the confirmation of RFK Jr. in the Senate.
00:45:52.000So he is now officially the Human Health Services Secretary.
00:45:59.000I thought, what better way to kick off tonight's episode and celebrate the health revitalization of America and American citizens than by talking about...
00:46:13.000And by talking about American innovators and American businesses that are committed to the Maha agenda.
00:46:20.000And so joining me now to discuss the confirmation today of RFK Jr. and the importance of supporting healthy living and the importance of making America healthy again is Chris LaCarrada, the founder and the CEO of Grossi.
00:46:37.000Chris, thank you so much for joining me tonight on Loomer Unleashed, and thank you so much for your sponsorship of my show.
00:46:54.000And I think your business is really interesting for multiple reasons.
00:46:58.000You are promoting the Maha lifestyle and you're promoting healthy living.
00:47:02.000And what drives me really crazy, and I'm sure that you can relate to this as somebody who's in the health beverage industry, is you see a lot of these phony drinks out there, beverages that say that they're health beverages, and then you flip them over and they have more or higher grams of sugar than your average Snickers bar.
00:47:19.000And what a lot of people don't understand is that a lot of these drinks are no better than if you were to eat two Kit Kat bars or a Snickers or, you know, a lollipop because of the high levels of sugar.
00:47:30.000So they're not exactly health beverages.
00:47:32.000And a lot of the so-called health beverages and even protein bars, a lot of these health items that are marketed to Americans are not really nutritious.
00:47:43.000They're not actually healthy and they're not actually health.
00:47:46.000They're not actually beneficial to boosting immunity or just having a healthy lifestyle in general.
00:47:53.000And so I personally do not promote any products that I don't personally use myself.
00:48:00.000And I've drank your beverage on my show before and we have it here in the background.
00:48:04.000And I've, you know, I've tasted it live on air.
00:48:08.000I've explained that there's multiple flavors, and for me personally, as somebody who is always on the go, I've been awake for the last 48 hours because I've just had so much work to do.
00:48:38.000You're not going to forget to drink water or forget to hydrate yourself throughout the day.
00:48:42.000And so if you're somebody who is on the go like I am and you forget to take your daily multivitamins, that's why a drink like Grossi, in my opinion, is so beneficial because it's low in sugar, it's low in carbs.
00:48:55.000But it also has your daily doses of vitamin D, C, and zinc.
00:48:59.000And I think that we're going to start to see a reform and perhaps even more regulation in the health market with the confirmation of RFK Jr. because there are a lot of deceptive products out there, especially with the way that the FDA has been completely corrupted and the way that there's so many companies out there with false marketing promoting products that are not exactly healthy.
00:49:25.000To the American people, deceiving them into thinking that their products are beneficial to their health.
00:49:29.000And so I wanted to get your opinion on this and your comments about what the confirmation of RFK Jr. means for the country, for the optimization of health for all Americans, and also for the future of true American businesses and products that are manufactured here in America like your product is and the overall health of the American people.
00:49:55.000I mean, I think, you know, when you start with the fact that, you know, 38 million Americans is diagnosed with diabetes and you look at the beverage industry alone, I mean, we have, you know, carbonated soft drinks are anywhere from 32 grams or above that in sugar.
00:50:13.000And these days what we're calling low sugar products are 8 grams.
00:50:17.000And so when we developed Grossi, we wanted to make sure that number one, we addressed that issue.
00:50:30.000But we are considered a functional beverage because we wanted to address a couple of different things.
00:50:34.000Number one, we want to stand out as a brand that's an alternative to the sea of highly processed, highly sugared, unhealthy brands that Represent the beverage industry.
00:50:44.000So we wanted to make sure we stood out as an alternative and something that when people do want to become healthy and have a healthier lifestyle and have it be part of their daily lifestyle, we wanted to be that brand they could turn to and have faith and trust in that brand that what we say is under labels in the bottle.
00:51:01.000And that comes from us being going through the rigor to have the certification for organic and everything else.
00:51:08.000And the base of our product is barley grass juice powder.
00:51:12.000And that has long medicinal benefits, good for detoxifying the body, the liver, the bloodstream.
00:51:37.000It was very difficult to get the certification, number one, and very difficult to break into the beverage industry, which has a sea of beverages, as you're probably aware.
00:52:02.000I mean, we have a health epidemic in this country.
00:52:06.000Yeah, and now you're also seeing a lot of lawsuits, especially by the parents of these children and teenagers who are drinking so-called health and energy drinks, and you have countless stories of children just dropping dead or teenagers dying because they're drinking so-called drinks that are marketed.
00:52:24.000They're literally marketed, and they're allowed to be marketed as energy drinks or health drinks, and they're not.
00:52:29.000They're actually giving people cardiac issues, and they're actually contributing to diabetes.
00:52:36.000Like, why are so many health companies, and I say health companies in air quotes because there's so many products, it seems like, that are able to get away with marketing themselves as health products or healthy drinks or energy drinks or...
00:52:58.000Maybe you can speak to that because I don't work in this industry.
00:53:03.000That's your specialty as somebody who's worked in this market for over 20 years, according to your bio.
00:53:08.000Because that is something that I find to be extremely concerning.
00:53:12.000And perhaps if that becomes regulated or maybe RFK Jr. is able to change that.
00:53:18.000We'll see a decrease in childhood obesity and heart disease in our country.
00:53:22.000But I've never really understood why these companies are allowed to do that.
00:53:27.000Well, at first, it's regulation and accountability, number one.
00:53:32.000I think that's the great thing that I'm hearing from RFK, and that is that the more we can expose this to the public, the more they can understand what exactly is going into these ingredients, where they come from, how they're manufactured.
00:53:45.000The more we can understand that, the better we can begin to center in on what we do about it.
00:53:49.000But there just has been any accountability.
00:53:51.000And we've been, I guess, we've been a little bit, I guess it would be convinced through marketing techniques and other things that they're actually good brands.
00:54:02.000And in many cases, they just simply aren't.
00:54:05.000And they just have gotten away with it.
00:54:07.000And for long periods of time, especially the larger the corporation sometimes.
00:54:11.000It's easier to get a cheaper product and to leverage that into, you know, their procurement structures and things like that.
00:54:18.000So, you know, a little bit of that goes on.
00:54:20.000But the fact that there's not been enough transparency and there's not been enough accountability, especially as we see these kind of things like 38 million Americans with diabetes, one in five children that could be considered obese, we just have not had enough accountability.
00:54:36.000And there's not been enough transparency and understanding by the public to push back on that.
00:54:41.000So that's just my opinion, and they'll get away with it as long as they can.
00:54:46.000Another thing about your company and your product is that it's manufactured here in America and it supports American manufacturing as an American business, which means that you're employing Americans.
00:54:57.000Perhaps you can also share some statistics because this is not my wheelhouse.
00:55:02.000And I'm also interested in knowing how many of these drinks and beverages that are marketed as health drinks or just sodas or any kind of beverage in general, how many of these are actually manufactured here in America?
00:55:14.000And I've seen from your resume and also your bio that you've worked with companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle before.
00:55:21.000And so can you speak to the percentage of the beverages that are being consumed by Americans that are actually manufactured here in America compared to your product?
00:55:32.000Well, I can't speak to it in terms of how many beverages, but I can speak to the overall manufacturing industries.
00:55:38.000So when you think about this, You know, we literally, especially in the last 25 years, because of trade agreements, NAFTA mostly, and what's happened with what they call the China effect, we have lost a serious amount of factories in this country to foreign entities.
00:55:58.000And when you think about what the economic impact is and the control for consumers when the factories are within our borders and the control within our agencies and even our government.
00:56:12.000The quality standards in other nations aren't the same as ours.
00:56:15.000And even ours need a lot of work, as we're talking about.
00:56:18.000But we've lost over 42,000 factories in this country in the last 25 years.
00:56:26.000And a lot of that had come from foreign products that came in and flooded the market and ended up putting our American businesses out of business.
00:56:35.000And having that backfill with a foreign entity, or worse than that, when our own corporations shut down our manufacturing plants and ship them overseas.
00:56:45.000And those are high-paying manufacturing jobs and in many cases came out of smaller communities.
00:56:51.000And the decimation, I mean literally the ruin that it does to these communities is absolutely amazing.
00:56:58.000And if people could see that up front, and we've done that 42,000 times in the last 25 years.
00:57:22.000And one of the industries that took the biggest hit in America is textiles.
00:57:28.000And we live in an old textile town, and the remnants of the textile industry was here when we got here, all these vacant buildings and factories and everything else.
00:57:37.000And they had a third-generation family that employed thousands of people across the region, but because of a flood of foreign product into the region, they ended up going out of business.
00:57:48.000But now here we are, 25 years later, and the latest manufacturing plant here in town is a Chinese textile plant.
00:57:58.000So we jettisoned and just destroyed thousands of jobs in the region, destroyed a three-generation family business, and helped to destroy part of the industry in America.
00:58:10.000To give it to a foreign entity that now builds a factory back into our country, right in our backyards.
00:58:16.000So a lot of that had been going on, and NAFTA was pointed to as one of the issues.
00:58:22.000For trade in this country, and we've lost an awful lot of manufacturing across sectors.
00:58:27.000The beverage industry and food industry has not been hit as hard with outsourcing, but it comes down to where are they sourcing the ingredients from?
00:58:34.000And if they're not sharing that, you'll never know.
00:58:37.000But if they're pulling ingredients from another country, what's the quality standard?
00:58:42.000And if they could take it from here and produce it here and create another business here or support another business here, why wouldn't we do that?
00:58:52.000Just tell our viewers, so, I mean, obviously, I've been promoting your product for a while now, but I think it'd be interesting and also inspiring for them to hear directly from you.
00:59:08.000How many jobs are you creating in rural communities where a lot of these factories have been shut down due to outsourcing to foreign labor?
00:59:18.000Because I know that that's why you created Grassi and why you're so committed, as we speak about often on the show, to supporting American workers and also American manufacturing.
00:59:30.000Yeah, I mean, we are an emerging company.
00:59:32.000We're a young brand, so we do mostly everything by contract.
00:59:35.000So our manufacturing plant is right here in Virginia.
00:59:39.000We're in the Carolinas, but we produce in Virginia, all American, obviously.
00:59:42.000All of our ingredients come from America.
01:00:10.000But everything we do, we make sure that everything's manufactured within the States and everything we do in the States is something that's promoting.
01:00:22.000But, Laura, let me share something with you.
01:00:24.000How we got started here at Grassi, and you've already touched on it, is I'm from manufacturing, but my start in manufacturing was in my wife's hometown.
01:00:33.000That was a town that was hit very, very hard with factory closures.
01:00:37.000And the factory I was working in at that point got shut down.
01:00:51.000And the destruction of these small towns is just amazing.
01:00:54.000So we've lost in the last 20 years, 5.5 million manufacturing jobs.
01:00:59.000And you cannot replace a manufacturing job with a service sector job, which pays 30% less.
01:01:07.000So you're probably very happy and content with President Trump's new tariff policies.
01:01:12.000Oh, you know, the fact that NAFTA is gone, thank you.
01:01:17.000And the fact that he is the last four or five presidents, I mean, he is the guy that understands trade more than most.
01:01:23.000And he's addressing the reciprocal trade issue, which is definitely an issue because we have other nations that are, you know, the trade imbalance is pretty significant.
01:01:33.000So they have tariffs on us and we don't tariff them.
01:01:36.000So I think, you know, all he's doing is shoring up.
01:01:39.000As of today now, we have tariff reciprocity.
01:02:21.000As you know, here at Loomer Unleashed, not only do we have a show, but we have a full-scale media team as well that goes into the field.
01:02:28.000We have a D.C. correspondent, and we spend a lot of our time tracking and confronting members of Congress and senators and just politicians in general.
01:02:40.000A lot of these Democrat senators who have been opposing RFK Jr.'s nomination and his confirmation.
01:02:48.000And of course, you know, they're all bankrolled by Big Pharma.
01:02:51.000If you look at their FEC records, as we pointed out today, the DSCC, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, has received thousands and thousands of dollars from Pfizer and Pfizer's PAC. So they are financially inclined and they have a reason,
01:03:07.000of course, through their donors to oppose On this vote, the yeas are 52, the nays are 48. Confirmation is confirmed.
01:03:39.000And what we're seeing is pretty remarkable in this country.
01:03:43.000Generally, you have partisan cabinets where the people that are confirmed or nominated are partisan loyalists.
01:03:52.000And in this case, President Trump has appointed several Democrats in the form of Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. to his cabinet, both of whom have been confirmed over the last 48 hours.
01:04:03.000And it's not just a political realignment, but it's also a cultural realignment.
01:04:07.000And I think we're going to see a medical and a health realignment.
01:04:11.000as well in our country, which I think is going to be beneficial.
01:04:14.000But it's just it's just really stunning to me to see the lack of honesty from these from these Democrats, because RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, for example, they've been lifelong Democrats.
01:04:26.000I mean, up until about two months before the election, RFK Jr. was attacking President Trump every day and saying that he was morally bankrupt.
01:04:33.000But then, you know, President Trump was able to put those insults aside and realize that, yeah, he might have some crazy wacky ideas as it relates to climate change.
01:04:43.000But he is pretty sound and pretty logical when it comes to the health of our country and his proposals to making America healthy again.
01:04:54.000But these senators, instead of just admitting that they have this partisan animus towards President Trump and his nominees, they don't want to admit that they're on the tape.
01:05:42.000We're pretty much on a first-name basis with these senators now because they know that we're not going to stop.
01:05:46.000So they actually started referring to my correspondent by his first name because they realized we're not going to go away no matter how many times they ignore us.
01:05:54.000Let's go ahead and play clip number six.
01:05:57.000Hey Senator Hirono, are Senate Democrats against RFK Jr. because of their Pfizer packs donations to DSCC? You guys have a great day too!
01:06:09.000And then, of course, the biggest loser of today, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who denies the fact that she takes money from Big Pharma, even though FEC records show that she has received over $5.2 million in the last five years since 2020, the 2020 election season, from employees and executives at pharma companies, including donations from the Sackler family, which is the family behind the opioid crisis in this country.
01:07:13.000I mean, that's the entire push around the Trump administration.
01:07:16.000We are just seeing more than we've seen in decades in terms of what's happening in Washington.
01:07:22.000So the more we can expose every one of these politicians that are doing something to hurt the American people or fleecing the American people, look what we're seeing with Elon Musk.
01:07:32.000I mean, you know, what's flushing out is things that I think the American people just didn't understand the depth of what was actually happening with taxpayer money.
01:07:41.000Did you ever think in your time that people would actually start using FEC Records as entertainment?
01:07:47.000I mean, this is stuff that generally you'd get called a nerd for, like a policy wonk, and nobody would understand.
01:07:53.000It'd be like, you know, blah, blah, blahs, you know, falling asleep now because nobody cares, right?
01:07:59.000But now they've made it something that people actually want to look up themselves.
01:08:04.000And you have everyday people that are so outraged that they're becoming like little data analysts, stay-at-home moms.
01:08:10.000That are now, you know, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on X accounts online because they're just sitting at home and posting data from the USAID website.
01:08:18.000And I mean, it's just really quite something to see.
01:08:29.000Yeah, we have, speaking of transparency, let's play clip number seven.
01:08:33.000This is RFK Jr. at his hearing saying that he wants radical transparency, very similar to what you just said about this concept of more transparency.
01:08:44.000Yeah, my approach, as I said before, Senator, is radical transparency.
01:08:51.000Democrats and Republicans ought to be able to come in and get information that was generated at taxpayer expense that is owned by the American taxpayer.
01:09:37.000Sixty-six percent of them are damaged.
01:09:40.000I know what a healthy kid looks like, because I had so many of them in my family.
01:09:45.000I didn't know anybody with a food allergy growing up, peanut allergy.
01:09:50.000Why do five of my kids have allergies?
01:09:53.000Why are we seeing these explosions in diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, depression, all these things that are related to toxic in the environment?
01:10:05.000Why can't we just agree with each other to put differences about so many issues, intractable issues aside, and say, we're going to end this.
01:10:16.000I don't think anybody is going to be able to do this like I have.
01:10:21.000Because of my peculiar experience, because I've litigated against these agencies.
01:10:27.000When you litigate against them, you get a PhD in corporate capture and how to unravel it.
01:10:33.000I've written six books about these agencies.
01:10:36.000I know a lot about them and I know how to fix it.
01:11:50.000I mean, this should be a protected class in this country that, you know, they should be something that we should be worrying about all their, what they're doing and their food as well and their diets.
01:11:59.000So he's hitting the right nerve there and the right touch points, I think, the way to say it.
01:12:04.000Leave the politics out of it, because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
01:12:08.000So anybody that is taking politics into it, you've got to wonder, what do we need to understand about them?
01:12:15.000So the fact that he's taking the middle road in that way, in that kind of touch points, in those kind of talking points, I think is the right way to do it.
01:12:23.000And then secondly, is it really just that he continues to stay on the point of, we have an epidemic in this country, and we do.
01:12:29.000And if we don't address it right now, we're going to have generations of Americans that are going to be the unhealthiest in the world, and we're heading that way already.
01:12:38.000So I think what he said, everything he stood, and he stood his ground, too.
01:12:41.000I loved it because he was attacked by every corner.
01:12:44.000And it was interesting to me because, you know, I'm old enough to know that the Kennedys were full-on Democrats for the longest time.
01:12:52.000They were the royal Democratic family.
01:12:54.000And to have him be sitting there is an interesting thing for me.
01:12:57.000But I think he's saying all the right things, and he's trying to bring everybody to the middle to make sure that it's for all the right causes.
01:13:04.000And he is addressing the right things.
01:13:07.000It's nutrition and farming and all of what builds into poor health.
01:13:11.000So he's beginning to address all that.
01:13:13.000Transparency has got to be it, because you've got to start there.
01:15:16.000And so he says that there's a chronic illness disease in this country.
01:15:20.000And one of the reasons why so many Americans have chronic illness, believe it or not, and I'm sure that you know this because your drink has vitamin C, D, and zinc in it, is because of vitamin deficiency.
01:15:32.000A lot of Americans are malnourished because our foods and the nutrition in this country has become so over-processed If you are getting three meals a day, you can be malnourished and you can have vitamin deficiency.
01:15:46.000A lot of people don't understand that because they think, well, if I'm eating three meals a day or if I'm not hungry, how am I malnourished?
01:15:54.000You think of people in impoverished third world countries who have no food as being malnourished.
01:16:00.000But maybe you can speak to the importance of getting enough vitamins, getting enough nutrition, getting enough...
01:16:07.000You know, balanced nutrition in your life and how grassy as a product is helping people maintain their nutritional values and their vitamin levels because I think that when we have somebody like Robert Kennedy In HHS,
01:16:24.000as opposed to somebody like Rachel Levine who's, you know, pushing transgenderism and pushing more of like a woke agenda, people are going to finally understand that it's simple little things like changing your nutrition and maybe adding a multivitamin or adding more vitamins to your day-to-day routine can actually help alleviate a lot of diseases.
01:16:43.000Like, I personally, I mean, I don't really talk about my own, like, health on the program a lot, but I started feeling really fatigued and tired a few months ago, and I went to the doctor and had to get a full blood test, and they told me that I was actually vitamin D deficient.
01:16:58.000And so they prescribed me vitamin D, and I started taking these high doses of vitamin D, like, higher than your typical vitamin D doses.
01:17:06.000But that's another reason why I'm grateful for a product like Grossi is because, you know, Not only was I vitamin D deficient before I started taking vitamin D supplements, but because I'm on the go and I travel so much, it's hard for me to carry big bottles of vitamins with me everywhere I go.
01:17:23.000I don't want to have to carry these giant bottles.
01:17:25.000And so for me, when I have grassy, I'm going to be drinking bottles of water every single day.
01:17:31.000A water that's not going to make me gain weight because it doesn't have, you know, 30 grams of sugar and doesn't have 50 grams of carbs in it.
01:17:39.000It's actually helping me with my own vitamin deficiency and I feel less fatigued now that I'm getting, you know, higher doses of vitamin D. Well, your body has needs every day and if those needs are not met, you start to head down a path of, you know, opening yourself up to disease and all kinds of issues.
01:18:00.000Hydration is one of them, of course, staying hydrated and keeping a strong immunity system is your biggest defense as well.
01:18:06.000So that's why we went that path with, you know, DC and Zinc to make sure that our product had good immunity boosting, natural immunity boosting parameters in our drink.
01:18:16.000And barley grass juice powder was the other base that we just talked about that had long medicinal histories as well.
01:18:22.000So, you know, you could take our drink on the run and you're going to have water or something else anyway that day.
01:18:27.000You might as well do something to help your body.
01:18:29.000But your body has needs, and processed foods have low nutritional values.
01:18:33.000So in some cases, ingredients that are not good for you at all or could create or begin to create the condition for chronic disease to take place in your body.
01:18:43.000So the more you can have the right amount of good ingredients, good products, processed the least amount.
01:18:51.000Natural ingredients and all the vitamins and minerals you need and keeping your immunity strong, those are your biggest defenses from diseases that can enter into your body and especially with kids.
01:19:01.000So the earlier we can hit with them, the better we can protect them with all of the right vitamins, minerals, and products to include organic products.
01:19:12.000The better off we're all going to be as a society.
01:19:20.000I'm saying that it's not an adult beverage in the sense that you can give this to your children too.
01:19:24.000So if you're packing lunches for your kids and you're putting bottled water or little cartons of milk or juice, a lot of those juices that you think are healthy for your kids are loaded with sugar and they're full of high fructose corn syrup and so they're not actually good.
01:19:38.000I've noticed that even on the boxes that say organic.
01:19:41.000Sometimes at the grocery store, they're not actually organic, and they're full of sugar.
01:20:07.000Because if a kid, one child comes in is sick and they spread it with the rest.
01:20:10.000And if we could make it so their immunity is very strong and help us do that and have them go to a low sugar drink and a very low calorie drink.
01:20:22.000We wanted to make sure it was a low calorie drink.
01:20:24.000Then that addresses the obesity issue, it addresses the diabetic issue, it addresses the immunity issue, and all those things.
01:20:31.000So yeah, our children is an area that I think there should be a safe zone around them, but our product is very good for all members of the family, and we would really encourage that significantly.
01:20:49.000And if some of you are slacking on your New Year's resolutions or maybe you're just trying to find a better way to optimize your health or keep your families healthy, I recommend Grassi.
01:20:59.000We're really grateful that you're a pro-America product.
01:21:42.000And as we said, low calorie, organic, USDA approved, low sugar.
01:21:50.000And again, it has your daily toast of vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc.
01:21:55.000And so I wanted to bring Chris on my program tonight because Not only are we trying to make America healthy again, and that officially begins today with the confirmation of RFK Jr. as the HHS Secretary, but we also want to make sure that we are supporting the parallel economy.
01:22:16.000Because part of making America great again also means supporting the parallel economy.
01:22:20.000And one of the benefits of President Trump's tariffs and these new economic policies of the Trump administration is that it's going to start to increase competition by...
01:22:30.000By forcing, I mean, everybody has a choice.
01:22:32.000You can still buy your products overseas if you want to.
01:22:35.000But truly, it's better off and it's actually safer for your health and safer for your family and also safer for your pocketbook to be investing into American-made.
01:22:44.000American-made products, American manufacturing, and supporting American workers.
01:22:49.000And so that's something that I obviously support here at Loomer Unleashed, and it's why I'm really proud to have Grassi as a sponsor, because I know that I'm not supporting some foreign company in China.
01:23:01.000I'm not supporting the CCP with your money when you watch my show and you purchase the products on this show.
01:23:08.000So I just want to thank you, Chris, for coming on tonight and encourage everybody watching to check out...
01:23:13.000Check out your website and purchase your product, grassi.com, and use code Laura20.
01:23:19.000Any last words, any last comments you have for the viewers?
01:23:22.000No, it was a pleasure, Laura, and we appreciate what you're doing, and boy, it's going to be an exciting, you know, four years.
01:23:29.000It's been an exciting three weeks already, so yeah.
01:24:19.000Like I said, you've seen me drink it here live on Loomer Unleashed, and I thought that it was fitting, given the fact that we now have reciprocity tariffs, we now have tariff policies, we now have a precedent that's committed to American workers and American manufacturing, and the official Maha agenda begins today.
01:24:38.000So I'm really excited to see this and I'm hoping that all Americans can learn better ways to make their bodies healthier and improve their lifestyles and that we can improve nutrition and our food system and just our overall health system here in America because it is pretty sad that we're considered the wealthiest country in the world and yet so many people and so many children have diabetes and so many people are dying from heart disease and obesity in our country and it really doesn't need to be that way.
01:25:12.000You know, it also is a good transition into the next subject tonight, and we're going to be talking with Lindy Lee, who's going to be joining us momentarily, because I am very critical of China, and that's one of the reasons why I'm critical of Lindy Lee and why I'm happy that Lindy Lee is coming on the program tonight to address these reports, because I think that we have a lot of CCP influence in our country.
01:25:35.000I'm not saying that Lindy Lee is a CCP official, but I do think that we need to be weary of Of Chinese influence in our political system and our economic system.
01:25:46.000And I personally just find it to be suspicious that a woman who was born in China by her own admission and did fundraising for Democrat politicians and has a history of bashing President Trump is now trying to ingratiate herself in GOP circles.
01:26:02.000So why don't we go ahead and show some of these tweets to get this rolling to set the stage for the viewers.
01:26:09.000So that they can see the tweets that I was replying to.
01:26:12.000And you can see how, you know, we can go to Glenn Beck's Twitter account and we can go to Dinesh D'Souza's Twitter account and we can go to Benny Johnson's Twitter account and you can see firsthand, you know, how these individuals had this woman on their program and yet nobody really seems to want to ask the questions that matter.
01:26:30.000And we're going to do that here tonight because a lot of people have a lot of questions and I'm not afraid of rocking the boat.
01:26:39.000And again, it's going to be a respectful conversation, but I think that a lot of people have some questions and they're asking themselves how you can go from calling President Trump a serial rapist just several months ago to then pretending that all of a sudden you're a member of MAGA. So let's go ahead and show some of these clips.
01:26:59.000You can see this is the tweet I posted yesterday.
01:27:03.000I asked Glenn Beck, I said, why are you promoting an obvious op, Glenn Beck?
01:27:07.000Lindy Lee is not who she claims to be.
01:27:09.000She was born in China, and now she's trying to subvert and infiltrate the GOP. Where have we seen this before?
01:27:15.000How do we know she doesn't have any loyalties to the CCP? See her many anti-Trump posts below.
01:27:20.000And we're going to ask Lindy Lee tonight if she works for the CCP, and we're going to ask her point blank if she has any affiliations or allegiances to the CCP, and I hope that we can have an honest conversation.
01:27:32.000Again, I'm not accusing her of anything, but we are going to have a conversation tonight about this.
01:27:36.000Let's go ahead and play this clip from Glenn Beck if we have it.
01:29:56.000Like, who thought that was a good idea?
01:29:57.000Actually, I know exactly who thought that was a good idea, but it was just these people are brain dead.
01:30:02.000We also have a clip from her appearance on Benny Johnson's show, too.
01:30:16.000I want to go ahead and play this clip because...
01:30:19.000You know, we have Lindy coming on and she's going to address these allegations.
01:30:23.000But she was on Benny Johnson's show and says that she's not a CCP asset and that she doesn't work for the Communist Party of China and that she's tired of people saying these things about her.
01:30:35.000So, again, we're going to give her an opportunity to respond tonight.
01:30:38.000But here's her other appearance on Benny Johnson's show.
01:30:40.000Justice Warriors, all of a sudden, because I dare to criticize their queen, Kamala, I'm now a Chinese spy.
01:30:48.000I'm a spy for the regime that murdered my family in cold blood.
01:31:00.000And then we have another clip of her on Dinesh D'Souza's show because, as I said before, a lot of people are wondering why all of a sudden the GOP is having this woman on every single show.
01:31:12.000You know, to talk about this narrative.
01:31:13.000And again, this is kind of this concept of tokenization, as I said before, where the GOP, in my opinion, doesn't really do enough vetting.
01:31:21.000They are kind of too eager to welcome people to our side if they're willing to criticize Kamala Harris or criticize Joe Biden.
01:31:28.000And I personally just think that there should be more vetting and also accountability.
01:31:34.000Some sense of humbleness from these individuals on the left who have said atrocious things about President Trump or terrible things about the MAGA movement or about the GOP and haven't really made amends or, you know...
01:31:48.000Committed, as I would call, verbal reparations for their sins against MAGA. I mean, it's kind of a big deal to accuse President Trump and his supporters of being Klan members just because you don't agree with the policy platforms of the GOP. So let's go ahead and play this clip from Dinesh D'Souza.
01:32:07.000Democracy and, you know, opportunity for all.
01:32:52.000So joining me now is Lindy Lee, former, she says, former Democrat political commentator and Democrat strategist who says she has now seen the light and is now a conservative.
01:33:07.000Laura, thank you so much for having me.
01:33:10.000Yep, it's a pleasure to have you tonight.
01:33:11.000Yeah, and I will say, I will say that, you know, it's not often that people who are on the other side of my criticisms or the other side of my reporting agree to come on the show.
01:33:23.000And so while I... As we do have ideological differences, I do respect the fact that you had the courage at least to come on the program tonight and address some of these claims and these allegations against you and some of the inconsistencies.
01:33:41.000And I wanted to give you an opportunity tonight to inform the viewers and inform people across the country who have You know, witness your change of tune over the last several months since the presidential election, since you've become an outspoken critic of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
01:33:59.000because we have found there to be some inconsistencies in your statements as you've gone on your media tour across the country, speaking to various conservative talk show hosts or politicians about your new political transformation.
01:34:14.000And so I'm hoping that we can just have an honest, open, respectful conversation.
01:34:31.000When people were commenting on your segment from Glenn Beck, you said that the Chinese Communist Party murdered my great-grandpa in cold blood.
01:34:40.000I condemn the CCP and have all my life, including today.
01:35:14.000To what it's like being a young woman running for Congress.
01:35:18.000Well, yeah, it can be hard going up against the political establishments within your own party.
01:35:24.000But one thing that I always made sure when I ran for Congress is that I never told a lie and I made sure that everything that I said was backed up with receipts and that I could prove every claim that I was making, especially about my background, because it's very important that if you are running for public office, that people feel that they can trust you.
01:35:42.000And so I wanted to just ask you up front, you know, you said that you didn't speak Chinese.
01:35:48.000And yet, I've posted multiple videos of you from your time running for Congress and multiple interviews that you've done that show you speaking Mandarin, and obviously there's different dialects of Chinese, Mandarin Chinese.
01:36:01.000And so why did you say that you don't speak Chinese when you clearly do speak Chinese?
01:36:05.000I encourage, Laura, I saw the first clip.
01:36:09.000I don't think I saw any subsequent ones, but in terms of the first clip, I actually encourage people to watch it.
01:36:16.000I think I said, thank you for inviting me or thank you for having me in Chinese.
01:36:22.000And the rest, 99% of what I said was English.
01:36:24.000You could tell how deeply uncomfortable I was.
01:38:10.000I want to be fair, and so I want to play the clip so that we can give the viewers full context here so that they can see the clips themselves because I don't want there to be any accusations that I'm splicing anything.
01:38:21.000And again, I have not edited anything.
01:38:25.000I'm just letting you know that I have not done any post-production editing on this.
01:38:28.000That wasn't me accusing you of anything, to be honest.
01:38:31.000For the sake of this conversation, I just want...
01:38:35.000To give you the benefit of the doubt, the only thing that I've done is put the Loomer Unleashed logo on the video, the watermark, for the sake of letting people know who posted the video.
01:38:47.000If we're going to post the video, can we show the whole thing, like the whole three minutes then?
01:38:52.000Because I only speak Chinese at the very top.
01:39:09.000Play a clip number 10. We have the clip segmented from the part where you said English is your second language, but we're going to download the full clip.
01:39:19.000Just in the meantime, Cannon, go ahead and play clip number 10, though.
01:39:57.000My family and I came here with very little, but we built something amazing out of it through hard work and determination and perseverance.
01:40:05.000And that's what I want to keep alive for the American people.
01:40:08.000If you work hard, you should be able...
01:40:10.000We have the full video, and I will post the full video on Twitter for people to see so that they can have the full context.
01:40:16.000But for the sake of the interview, because, you know, you probably don't want to be here for three hours, we are going to just continue playing the rest of the clips.
01:41:36.000You know, we have a lot of great Chinese children.
01:41:40.000So I do not speak Chinese, but I think that you clearly do speak Chinese because I would say that that is a lot more than just saying hi, how are you.
01:41:51.000In that clip, I literally ask how do you say that word.
01:41:55.000That's asking how you say a word, but like I said, I speak Spanish as well, for example.
01:41:59.000I do speak English and Spanish, but that's a lot more.
01:42:03.000He spliced together five instances in which I spoke Chinese.
01:42:07.000And you can hear me say, you know, you could hear the English.
01:42:11.000But you can say, you know, but that's clearly a lot more.
01:42:15.000I mean, you spoke with it for at least 30 seconds, which is a lot more than just saying, you know, like, ni hao.
01:42:21.00030 seconds interspersed in a two-hour event.
01:42:25.000I think that we really need to have a conversation about this because people are very critical and they should be given your past statements about President Trump and the things that you've said about the MAGA movement.
01:42:37.000Yes, really, because we had a problem with Chinese infiltration in our political system, and I'm not accusing you of being a CCP asset, Lindy, but when you say things like you do not speak Chinese as a defense mechanism and reply to people's criticisms of your interview with Glenn Beck, and then I find multiple clips of you speaking to Chinese...
01:45:12.000Because I understand that you have family members who are involved in real estate from my own investigation into you and your family.
01:45:18.000And I would like to know, is this address either one of the addresses that you use as a campaign office, campaign facility, or is it an address that your family member or one of your relatives owns or utilizes?
01:46:19.000Isn't it concerning to you that there appears to be an address in Chinatown that you're not saying that your family doesn't have connections to it?
01:46:26.000Not concerning, but Chinatown is literally where I was running, so...
01:46:30.000Okay, but you're not concerned that people are accepting checks and that they have, you know, non-English language there, you know...
01:47:35.000Hey, there's a photo of you and Jill and Joe Biden.
01:47:38.000And you posted this on April 30th, 2024. And you said that spending time with POTUS and FLOTUS is always such a tremendous honor, especially for a proud and grateful American like me who came to our beloved country at age four with a few bucks and a world of dreams.
01:47:54.000Super excited to host President Joe Biden tomorrow for his first Asian-American-led fundraiser.
01:48:00.000As POTUS says, this is a big effing deal.
01:48:03.000So again, you would think that, you know, as somebody who says that you're very...
01:48:33.000According to my research team, I just want to say that the Arch Street address that we showed up on the screen, it's an address that is tied to your family's real estate holdings.
01:48:45.000And so hopefully that we have the document.
01:48:49.000We're going to put the document up on the screen because I think it's important that we have full transparency here.
01:49:11.000It's an office that may have been rented by your family, but you said that it wasn't a campaign office, but you're saying that you don't live there.
01:49:19.000So this isn't doxing because you just said moments ago that you do not.
01:49:22.000But you're saying that my family, it's part of our real estate holdings.
01:50:15.000It's an FEC Form 1 revised from 2009. And the telephone number is blanked out.
01:50:26.000I'm going to show the document with the address because it's the same address that I just showed.
01:50:30.000You confirmed that you do not live there, so I feel that I'm not doxing you right now because you just confirmed that that's not your personal residence.
01:50:36.000So we blocked out the telephone number, but I'm going to show the form so that you can see for yourself that the address on the form is the same form in the video that I just showed you that you said isn't your campaign video, and it's...
01:51:19.000And so as I said before, I asked you if this address that was located in Chinatown, which is affiliated with your campaign, where you said you ran for Congress, was your address.
01:51:27.000You said that you didn't know that address and that you had never used that address.
01:51:49.000And so, you know, you have to understand, Lindy, this is the reason why there's people out there that are questioning your intentions and whether or not, you know, you are who you say you are.
01:52:02.000I know, I just, I told you, I've done my research, trust me.
01:52:05.000I know your family owns a lot of research because I know that you were operating out of an address out of Chinatown, which I just showed you, which you denied profusely.
01:52:51.000So then your father, that video that I posted, your father then was accepting contributions in Chinese language.
01:52:59.000From that video I showed you, asking people to send checks to that address that is listed on an official FEC form for your campaign.
01:53:08.000As long as they're American citizens, what's wrong with that?
01:53:12.000Well, I think you can understand why people are questioning why somebody running for office is soliciting campaign contributions in Chinese.
01:53:49.000For a publication, it says, meet the youngest ever female congressional candidate.
01:53:55.000Let's get this article up on the screen, please.
01:53:57.000From March 12, 2016. And it says that Lee, who is running as a Democrat, moved to the United States with her parents when she was five years old.
01:54:38.000Well, again, like I said, I'm asking you questions because...
01:54:41.000I've done my own research, and so if that's what you say, you know, you're saying that you were not interviewed and that there are inconsistencies?
01:54:48.000Okay, but I... Laura, you have a lot of articles written about you, too.
01:54:51.000Yeah, no, I understand that, but I also asked you, point blank, what age you came here, and you said five, and then I looked at your Facebook post, and you said four.
01:55:00.000I don't remember whether it's four or five.
01:55:04.000I don't know why it's that important to you.
01:55:31.000Well, just about a minute and 30 seconds ago, you told me when I was asking you why you were accepting contributions from people in Chinese and why you were allowing for people to send out solicitations in Chinese.
01:55:44.000You said that you took it upon yourself to do extreme vetting on all your donors to make sure that everybody who was giving you money was doing so ethically and legally.
01:56:47.000Just exit out of it because we want to make sure that we focus on this content here.
01:56:51.000I want to make sure that we're not here for three hours tonight because I'm sure Lindy has other things to do.
01:56:57.000You said that you didn't know who Kwon Zu is, but Kwon Zu is a co-managing member of IDG Capital, and you said that you weren't familiar with what IDG Capital is.
01:57:08.000Let's go ahead and get the next graphic for IDG Capital up on the screen, please.
01:57:49.000I don't know how much of this has been since then.
01:57:50.000I ran for Congress a long time ago, too, but I didn't take money from people who are tied to the CCP. I don't even know if this happened during the ten years since I ran for Congress.
01:58:32.000The reason I ask you is because I ask you whether or not you know, Kwanzu, you said no.
01:58:39.000Generally, when somebody gave me a $2,700 max donation, I would call them.
01:58:44.000The proper thing to do if you are a fundraiser, as you say you are, is to have proper donor relations, which means that you generally thank the donors who write a max donation check to you because you want to see whether or not those donors are capable of giving larger contributions so that you can directly Or perhaps they may want to host events for you.
01:59:05.000At least that's what I did when I had donors that gave me max donations.
01:59:10.000And so it says here that you accepted a $2,700 max donation from KwanZoo.
01:59:15.000And let's put that graphic back up with the highlighted yellow text there.
01:59:20.000You can see here it says that the NCSC emphasized the Chinese.
01:59:26.000Let's zoom out a little bit so everybody can see the full graphic.
01:59:30.000Okay, Says that the NCFC emphasized that Chinese venture capital has been focusing on U.S. emerging tech sectors with IDG Capital, a Chinese military designated investment firm, having invested in over 1600 businesses, including in the having invested in over 1600 businesses, including in the United States.
01:59:58.000You say that you condemn the CCP and that you're not affiliated with the CCP and that, you know, you don't speak Chinese.
02:00:05.000How do you know that this didn't happen sometime in the 10 years that I ran for Congress?
02:00:10.000Like, how do I even, how do we even know that?
02:00:12.000Because, because you said moments ago when I asked you about individuals who have affiliations with China accepting money for your campaign that you did vetting and that you knew who was giving you money.
02:00:22.000I'm just saying, but how do you know that this development with the company or whatever didn't happen sometime in the, like, I just, this is the first time I'm even learning about this.
02:02:34.000And when I realized that they blew $2.5 billion, actually not a billion, $2.5 billion, that was a catalyst for me to reexamine everything else.
02:02:44.000In my life, NBC News, ABC News, CBS, all of these outlets, they were the gold standard.
02:02:50.000You know, I wasn't, this is just what I, it's just what I was learning, what I was taught, so.
02:02:58.000All right, I have another question for you.
02:03:01.000What is your relationship with Richard Bloom?
02:03:05.000Oh, I met him at a climate change dinner in Dublin on May something, 2013. It was with Mary Robinson, who was president of Ireland at that time, and he offered me a ride home.
02:03:19.000Actually, he asked me, like, do you need a ride home?
02:03:21.000And I was like, do you have your own mode of transportation?
02:03:23.000And he flew me home on his private jet.
02:04:39.000You did accept a max contribution from Diane Feinstein's husband, Richard Bloom.
02:04:43.000And I just wanted to know you, but you said that he flew you back on his private jet.
02:04:47.000Were you aware of the time when you accepted a financial contribution from Richard Bloom that he made majority of his money, his multi-million dollar fortune that he had to pay for that private jet by engaging in business with...
02:05:02.000Companies that are directly tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
02:05:07.000No, because he told me that he hated the regime and he's a staunch advocate for Tibet.
02:05:12.000That's not true because, as you know, anybody who truly is outspoken against the CCP and the regime is not able to do business in China or with CCP affiliates and vendors.
02:05:32.000I've received a lot of flack from Chinese Americans for being so vocally anti-CCP over the years, but it's something that I've continually done, and I even did it five years ago on Fox.
02:05:42.000I was part of an anti-socialism documentary.
02:05:46.000I've been very vocal about this throughout my adult life, Laura.
02:05:52.000I understand, like, you're just trying to get to the bottom of it, and I appreciate you being very open and transparent, but I... I was under the impression that he was pro-Tibet.
02:06:03.000I know he donated a lot of money to Tibetan causes, and that's how we initially bonded.
02:06:08.000That's how we bonded with Richard Gere.
02:06:12.000That's how I met Richard Gere, because we're both anti-China.
02:06:15.000And Richard Blum introduced me to Richard Gere.
02:06:23.000And honestly, for someone like me to condemn the CCP, which I've done again and again, it means more, given my background, given the fact that they murdered my great-grandfather.
02:06:33.000My father has received a lot of flack for being very anti-CCP on a thing called WeChat.
02:06:59.000Well, I want to ask you now about your previous comments, because there has to be some clarity and there has to be some understanding about previous statements that you have made now that you are all of a sudden coming out criticizing, criticizing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
02:07:15.000So here we have a tweet from you that you posted in September of 2022.
02:07:19.000You said that New York Attorney General Tish James will make a major announcement tomorrow at 1030 a.m.
02:07:25.000She just rejected a settlement offer from the crooks at the Trump org.
02:07:36.000Why did you support the lawfare against President Trump and the weaponization of government carried out by Tish James and Fannie Willis, who herself was found to have acted improperly by having a sexual affair with one of the individuals who was appointed to President Trump's Rika case?
02:07:53.000Wait, is that what you mean Fannie Willis, right?
02:08:29.000I said, this has been a year-long change for me, and I only felt comfortable to be who I am after the election, and certainly after I realized that they squandered all the money that we raised.
02:08:44.000But I just bought into the mainstream narrative.
02:08:46.000It never occurred to me to challenge it in any way.
02:09:10.000So here's another post you made in January of 2023. You said, Raging homophobe Matt Schlapp was caught groping a man.
02:09:16.000Christian Marjorie Taylor Greene was caught cheating with a tantric sex guru.
02:09:20.000Brother in Christ Matt Gaetz was caught sex trafficking girls.
02:09:23.000Evangelical hero Trump is a serial rapist.
02:09:26.000Hypocrisy is the hallmark of the GOP. I mean, obviously, you know, you can say that you fell victim to the media all you want, but there has to be some discernment.
02:09:35.000I mean, you ran for Congress, and so, you know, what does it say about you as somebody who ran for Congress that you want to stand by what statement?
02:09:44.000I'm not entirely clear on what's going on with Matt Gaetz.
02:12:10.000I was like, you need to fill out this in-kind contribution.
02:12:12.000We're accepting a nominal rate, a market value, you know.
02:12:15.000Yeah, because I saw that you and your family donated multiple buildings for use for the Kamala Harris campaign.
02:12:22.000And so I was wondering that because as somebody who ran for Congress myself, I know that that doesn't need to be documented as an in-kind contribution.
02:12:30.000So it'll be interesting to see if they...
02:13:09.000Yeah, but I just want to know because, you know, we still need to know whether or not you still stand by any of these statements because there's a lot of them.
02:15:48.000At that time, I was pretty much a kid.
02:15:50.000I attended an HSBC program, a leadership program through Princeton.
02:15:56.000That was 2014, 2017. Right, but you had said that you've been critical of the CCP because you said that they killed some of your family members.
02:17:07.000I'm just wondering, because oftentimes, you know, even if you're just critical or you say anything bad about Xi Jinping, like they had a college student that made a comment about Xi Jinping here in America, and he was jailed upon his return to China.
02:17:22.000And so I just find it interesting that you are critical.
02:17:25.000Even though my grandmother is currently dying, she's 96 years old, this has caused me immense pain.
02:17:30.000I call her on FaceTime every night because I can't go back, and I'm sorry.
02:17:56.000I also want to remind you guys, you know, the situation wasn't as bad in 2014. Like, the relationship wasn't great, but it wasn't like this.
02:20:07.000I just want to say in the past couple weeks since I've been exposing the Democrats, the letters that I've gotten from Trump supporters have been unbelievable.
02:20:51.000I'm just going to be very upfront with you.
02:20:53.000Today was one of the worst days of my life.
02:21:03.000I haven't slept much in the past two or three days.
02:21:09.000And some people might think that I'm exaggerating or whatever, but I spent the majority of my day, and you could see it because in the interview with David, I was sprawled on my bedroom floor in my pajamas.
02:21:58.000I mean, look, I think it's nice that you'll say something like that, but the reality is that, you know, a lot of harm has been done in this country by people like you who have...
02:22:09.000I mean, you say that you were captivated or somehow hypnotized by the Democrat Party and hypnotized by all these talking points.
02:22:16.000But at what point in time does there have to be some level of accountability?
02:22:19.000I mean, you ran for Congress and you're bragging about how you raised money.
02:22:23.000Why should anybody take you seriously going forward as a political commentator when you've lived majority of your life not thinking for yourself?
02:23:47.000I did not support the woke trans insanity, and I never, never did I support.
02:23:53.000You could go through my tweets, and Lori, I'm sure you've read all of them at this point, right?
02:23:56.000You never saw me saying once that I support the trans nonsense, right?
02:24:01.000No, but what I did see is that you said that for years you knew that Joe Biden was not running the show, but you continued to support him.
02:24:09.000So if you knew that Joe Biden was mentally incapacitated and you knew that Joe Biden was not who he was claiming to be because he was seriously suffering from cognitive decline, why did you continue to enable Joe Biden?
02:26:33.000When you were flying on his private jet, you didn't question what type of private equity?
02:26:40.000No, we watched Las Blancas the entire time.
02:26:43.000Well, just so you know, I mean, now, I mean, I hope that I've been able to educate you throughout this interview.
02:26:49.000The private equity that Richard Blum was involved in was financing companies tied to the Chinese military, the Chinese Communist Party and their military.
02:27:21.000I'm not tainting you by association because you already, you flew on the private jet of somebody who was in business, who was in, who was in the business of financing CCP military companies.
02:27:55.000Well, there's another book that's been published by a friend of mine by the name of Peter Schweitzer.
02:28:01.000It's called Red-Handed, How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.
02:28:04.000So I want to send you a copy of this book so that you can further educate yourself on the CCP associations with the politicians that you spent years either fundraising for or aligning yourselves with so that going forward, you are fully aware of who in the Democrat Party and who you yourself have taken money from is affiliated with and does Laura, I'd love to work with you on anti-CCP initiatives, if you're willing.
02:28:32.000Because I think it would mean a lot coming from someone like me, don't you think?
02:28:52.000You want the demise of the CCP, do you not?
02:28:55.000Well, I want the demise of the CCP, but I personally think that it would be a lack of judgment on my part to engage in a partnership with somebody who took money from a CCP affiliate.
02:29:10.000And so I understand that now that you're apologizing for that and you're saying that he regretted it.
02:29:15.000This is the first time I'm learning that he had CCP ties because, as I mentioned, he wrote a book praising the Dalai Lama.
02:29:24.000He told me that he hated the Chinese regime for what they did to the Dalai Lama.
02:29:28.000We're both pro-Taiwan I just find it very interesting that you were involved in Democrat Party media and fundraising, and it's the first time you're hearing about this.
02:29:42.000I genuinely just want to educate you on this so that you never again have to go on another right-wing podcast and say, this is the first time I'm hearing this.
02:29:51.000So I'm going to have my producer pull this up.
02:29:53.000Cannon, please put this article up on the screen because this is not new information.
02:30:02.000Okay, my campaign was in 2015. Okay, but still, this has been ongoing for years.
02:30:18.000Dianne Feinstein is one of the longest-serving Democrat senators in the United States Senate, and her husband's ties to the CCP and her own ties to the CCP, given the fact that she was the first mayor, when she was mayor of San Francisco, the first U.S. mayor to travel to China and call for a joint U.S.-China relationship.
02:30:37.000She refused to call out China for mass human rights violations because her husband was getting rich off of doing Well, I'm happy to call out the Chinese regime for all of their mass human rights violations for everything that they're doing, for the Uyghurs and everything and their aggressions against Taiwan.
02:31:22.000She endorsed me because her husband probably asked her to.
02:31:25.000But my relationship was with Richard, not Diane.
02:31:28.000All right, well, just please get the article up on the screen so that we can show everybody what we're referring to here, so that they can see all these receipts.
02:31:41.000Okay, I'm letting you know who these people are, who you took money from, and the reason why so many people are questioning your allegiances.
02:31:51.000This guy has donated to probably every Democrat, to be honest.
02:31:54.000So I guess the job is to condemn the entire party because Richard Blum was known as one of the most prolific Democratic donors in the country, right?
02:32:21.000You know, I've asked you a lot of questions tonight, and I think that it's been a pretty respectful conversation.
02:32:27.000And I've shown the videos, and I've shown you statements that you have made that contradict other public statements.
02:32:34.000And so I just want to say that I appreciate you coming on my program tonight to answer these questions.
02:32:41.000But I also just hope that you understand that...
02:32:44.000Just because you deny these things now doesn't mean that everybody in the Republican Party should be willing to work with you, feel comfortable working with you, and be accepting of you.
02:32:55.000There are terrible things that are still on the internet that you've said, and it's going to take a lot more than you just going on TV and going on interviews and saying that you don't like Joe Biden and that you think that they misspent their campaign funds for people to truly believe the things that are coming out of your mouth.
02:34:07.000I actually, the first time I ever posted about you was around the inauguration weekend when I saw that you were on the inaugural committee.
02:34:13.000Yeah, and then my account was swarmed.
02:36:11.000I do that every day when I'm on TV. I feel bamboozled because I thought people were crazy for saying that the Democratic Party was like the Communist Party because they scream opportunity.
02:36:30.000But then I realized that a lot of the tactics that they employ are very similar to those of the CCP. And that is outright excommunication, discrediting, public humiliation.
02:36:41.000A lot of these tactics are the same as those of the CCP. And I'm only realizing it now.
02:36:46.000I feel like the blue branding, we cannot underestimate the power of subliminal advertising and how they kind of rebranded socialism.
02:36:56.000As progressivism, which is something that should be hailed when it's actually socialism.
02:37:47.000And my dad is an immigrant like me, so meeting the President of the United States meant a lot to him.
02:37:51.000You can criticize Joe Biden all you want, but let's have respect for the office.
02:37:56.000And so for my dad, who grew up in the middle of nowhere, China, to meet the president of the most powerful nation on earth was a very humbling experience.
02:38:04.000And Joe Biden on that day was absolute class, and I'm not going to deny that.
02:38:08.000I have to give credit where credit was due.
02:38:10.000He carried himself with, you know, so much kindness and graciousness towards my father.
02:40:18.000I mean, we've just talked about so much.
02:40:19.000And just as we were signing off, I was just thinking to myself, is there anything else I want to ask?
02:40:25.000How did you get such close access to the White House?
02:40:28.000Because I know that you took photos with Kamala Harris and you have photos with Joe Biden at the White House because there's a lot of people that do bundling and, you know, they do fundraising work.
02:40:37.000How did you end up getting such close access to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
02:40:43.000I was on the National Alliance Committee.
02:42:49.000First of all, we need to put Americans first.
02:42:51.000But if we're going to have immigrants, we should have immigrants like my father, who will work their tail off to create American jobs, to make our country stronger.
02:43:00.000My dad is the hardest working person you will ever meet.
02:43:49.000Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised they haven't killed your grandmother because, you know, given the fact that you said they killed your great-grandfather.
02:43:57.000She's 96, so she's 96. That's what the regime, as you know, the CCP does to family members of dissidents who speak out overseas.
02:44:06.000So I guess you're lucky that they haven't killed her.
02:44:59.000No, I'm not accusing you of being a dog eater.
02:45:02.000I'm just saying that, you know, a culture that has no problem killing domesticated animals certainly would have no problem killing a 96-year-old.
02:45:09.000And that's why I've been so vocal against them, and I will continue to be.
02:45:14.000I will make sure that we do whatever we can to ensure that the...
02:45:18.000That this century is another century of American hegemony.
02:46:32.000Well, like I said, I'm not here to make the case for you.
02:46:35.000I just wanted to give you an opportunity because I felt like it was the fair thing to do when you reached out and you asked if we could speak and I posted about you.
02:46:42.000And so I appreciate you coming on and we'll let the viewers decide for themselves.
02:46:47.000We have over 111,000 people watching live right now on Twitter.
02:46:51.000And how many live viewers do we have on Rumble right now, Cannon?
02:47:00.000So we'll let the viewers decide for themselves.
02:47:04.000I think that I was fair in showing all the receipts and showing all the documentation and giving you a chance to reply to the inconsistencies.
02:47:12.000And if we have more questions, I'll be sure to invite you on the show again.
02:47:17.000Okay, I'll give you my number so you can reach me directly.
02:47:43.000And as you saw in the beginning, there were some inconsistencies there with statements made about when she came to this country, whether she spoke Chinese, the address.
02:47:55.000So again, I'm happy to let people come on and give their side of the story.
02:48:00.000But I am also a firm believer in that receipts speak for themselves.
02:48:04.000And I also don't think that just because somebody says that they are now a Trump supporter, that they should automatically be welcomed in.
02:48:11.000I do think it's really interesting that she mentioned that the RNC is working with her, even if she claims she's not getting paid, that she's working with the RNC in some capacity to do fundraising.
02:48:22.000I find that to be quite interesting, and I'll be following up about that.
02:48:26.000But in the meantime, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, and that is Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
02:48:34.000What happens to your money in the bank when the BRICS nations continue their economic warfare against America and start dumping their U.S. treasuries in retaliation to the Trump tariffs?
02:48:45.000Did you know that FDIC only has about 1.2% of all deposits insured?
02:48:50.000It doesn't take much for a bank run significantly worse than what we saw after Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic failed.
02:48:58.000You need to get out of the system with the world's safest assets, silver and gold.
02:49:03.000There are a lot of garbage companies out there that will sell you high-priced collectible silver and gold, but don't fall for it.

02:50:09.000Before we get into some of these other stories tonight, I want to talk about a story that I broke.
02:50:17.000Earlier this morning, late last night, there's all types of infiltrators that are trying to get into the Trump administration now, right?
02:50:25.000We heard from Lindy Lee tonight who swears that she's not trying to get in, but clearly, you know, she wants to be accepted by the GOP and by the Republicans.
02:50:35.000And then you have people that used to work for President Trump who betrayed President Trump who are also now trying to get back into the Trump administration.
02:50:43.000I want to show an article on my website.
02:50:47.000We'll go through the thread, but then I want to pull the article up.
02:50:50.000Former SEC official William Hinman attempting to infiltrate the Trump crypto board despite donating to Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
02:51:00.000I was tipped off by a source of mine within the crypto community who alerted me to the fact that individuals within the crypto advisory board, and that of course includes David Sachs, who's now the crypto czar, has been entertaining the idea of perhaps allowing for the former SVC official William Hinman to come back into the Trump administration and work on crypto.
02:51:29.000We can get the article pulled up and go through it.
02:51:31.000But it's important to note that he donated to members of the J6 committee and he also donated to Joe Biden while he was employed at the SEC during the Trump administration.
02:51:43.000So we'll just go through this article from the top so that you can see it for yourself.
02:51:55.000And if you haven't already seen the article, you can go to Lumard.com.
02:52:01.000And as I mentioned in the introduction of this article, President Trump received an enormous amount of support from the crypto community, which faced enormous backlash and attacks by the Biden regime over these last four years.
02:52:16.000And they had what was called a crypto winter.
02:52:19.000And we saw that Gary Gensler and we saw that Joe Biden and many of the Senate Democrats on the banking committee, including Elizabeth Warren, were very hostile towards the crypto community.
02:52:30.000And so when President Trump started campaigning on the issue of crypto and opened up the idea to his base and also a new class of voters who then showed up and voted for President Trump by saying that he was going to declare the United States of America as the crypto capital of the world.
02:52:48.000It caused the crypto community to raise millions of dollars for Donald Trump.
02:52:53.000And we saw historically either libertarian or Democrat individuals, some of them completely nonpolitical, apolitical, come out and support President Trump with enormous donations.
02:53:05.000President Trump himself accepted cryptocurrency.
02:53:07.000And since the election, President Trump has done several.
02:53:10.000And then, of course, we saw on January 17th, just several days before the inauguration, we had the crypto ball.
02:53:39.000We had the crypto ball in Washington, D.C. that was hosted by the newly appointed crypto and AI czar David Sachs.
02:53:48.000You can scroll down, and you can go through all this and verify this information yourself.
02:53:53.000Now, what is the whole point about this guy, William Hinman?
02:53:57.000Scroll up in the article, up, up, right there, that people should be concerned about.
02:54:01.000Well, in June of 2018, Hinman gave a speech at the Yahoo Finance All Market Summit in which he declared that Bitcoin and Ethereum, given their decentralized nature, were not securities.
02:54:13.000Many crypto innovators blame Hinman and his comments on being the catalyst for what they call the crypto winter, in which we saw crypto prices drop significantly.
02:54:24.000You'll notice now that ever since President Trump's inauguration, crypto, especially Bitcoin, has soared over $100,000 per Bitcoin.
02:54:34.000But this crypto winter, as a result of Bill Hinman's speech and all of the regulations from Gary Gensler and the Biden regime, caused a lot of crypto innovators to move their crypto innovations and their crypto projects overseas.
02:54:48.000And that's why we saw a lot of activity elsewhere during the Biden regime.
02:54:52.000We saw crypto innovators trying to go to Latin and Central America.
02:54:57.000Look at what they did in El Salvador, making cryptocurrency a big part of the El Salvador economy, making Bitcoin legal tender.
02:55:06.000And now you see a third world country is now transforming itself and went from having the number one highest homicide rate in the country, in the world, excuse me, to being one of the safest countries in the world.
02:55:16.000And that has really been parallel with this crypto revolution and the introduction of cryptocurrency.
02:55:25.000And we're seeing similar things around the world and other places where impoverished communities are now bringing in cryptocurrency and allowing for crypto innovators to support development in regions around the world that are underdeveloped with cryptocurrency and decentralized technology.
02:55:47.000As I said before, Hinman's comments resulted in kind of this regulatory backlash.
02:55:53.000And so many people in the crypto industry felt like they were being punitively and also retroactively attacked for actions.
02:56:02.000And they felt that Hinman was failing to disclose his own personal conflicts of interest.
02:56:10.000Many believe he should face jail time over.
02:56:13.000Many people in the crypto industry have accused him of committing fraud, and they are still calling on this Inspector General report to be released.
02:56:22.000It has not been released in full to the public yet, and many people feel as though Hinman is a criminal, but unfortunately he is now working with...
02:56:32.000People like Mark Andreessen over at Andreessen Horowitz.
02:56:36.000And it's kind of become a very uncomfortable situation because individuals who are tied to the Biden regime and individuals who screwed over so many people in the crypto industry are now trying to wiggle their way back into the Trump administration with all these big tech billionaire allies that they have.
02:56:54.000And the question that everybody's asking is, you know, we're told that the Trump 2.0 era is going to be a time period of accountability.
02:57:05.000But unfortunately, a lot of the big tech billionaires who are now serving in the Trump administration have ties to individuals like Bill Hinman.
02:57:14.000And the question is, is there going to be extreme accountability and extreme transparency?
02:57:18.000Or is it just going to be a billionaire's boys club where all these people get to skirt accountability and they get to not be held accountable for either alleged fraud or real?
02:57:59.000FEC records actually reveal and show that while he was working there from May of 2017 until December of 2020, the end of the Trump administration, He gave political contributions to Joe Biden in Act Blue.
02:58:13.000So here we have, you can see, it's a little blurry on your end, but you can see if you zoom in by going to lumert.com or reading the thread on my Twitter account.
02:58:24.000October 2020, September 2020, February 2020, January 2020, again December 2019, 2018. That's during the time frame that Bill Hinman was at the SEC under the Trump administration.
02:58:40.000And so the question is, is why was a Trump admin official donating to ActBlue, which, as you know, is the Democrat Party platform for fundraising?
02:58:56.000And now he's trying to use his connections to David Sachs, the crypto NAI czar, and Mark Andreessen, who was a Hillary Clinton supporter and never supported Trump because all these big tech billionaires, like, suck the dicks of every single immigrant that wants to come into this country.
02:59:11.000I mean, really, honestly, his reasoning for not supporting President Trump was, oh, well, I just find it to be absolutely repulsive.
02:59:19.000Anybody that wants to have a chokehold on immigration.
02:59:22.000Because we're supposed to just let all of our jobs be taken by immigrants, apparently, according to people like Marc Andreessen and these other big tech billionaires prior to their reawakening that they only had when an assassin almost put a bullet in President Trump's head live on television.
02:59:38.000You know, we're told that these people are the best and brightest in the world.
02:59:41.000And I'm told, hey, hey, Laura, stop mouthing off to all these big tech billionaires.
02:59:59.000And the receipts and their political contributions and their previous statements up until the point where somebody almost shot Donald Trump in the head and we almost watched his brains explode in 4K. Okay?
03:00:10.000All these people were condemning Donald Trump on a daily basis.
03:00:13.000So I don't really need to, you know...
03:00:16.000Monitor the way I talk about people who are only given a seat at the table in the Trump administration, not because they have merit or hard work, but because they are rich enough to write a multi-million dollar check.
03:00:28.000So I don't really give a fuck who you are or how rich you are.
03:00:34.000Just because you're rich doesn't mean that you can welcome all of your compromised buddies and all of your Democrat plant friends and all of the traitors who were actively undermining Donald Trump while they were working for Donald Trump and his administration to come then work at your company in the private sector after screwing over the American people working in an official government capacity at the SEC. And now you want these people to then be able to have another opportunity to screw Donald Trump?
03:01:16.000You would have access to mainstream media.
03:01:19.000You would get these rich guys to write you a check, and they'd fund your media operation the same way that Marc Andreessen and David Sachs are funding Bari Weiss and her entity over at the Free Press.
03:01:30.000I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Bari Weiss attacks President Trump and thinks he's a Nazi and is actively opposing.
03:01:43.000I don't want to have to self-censor myself to get a check from these people or to get the validation from these people who don't even truly believe in the cause of MAGA and America First.
03:01:54.000Mark Andreessen has publicly said that we need to retire democracy because it's a failed system.
03:02:01.000Mark Andreessen has said that he supports technocracy, and he entertained the idea of having a technocratic fascist dictator ruling America.
03:02:12.000So why would I want somebody who is working at Marc Andreessen's firm right now within his crypto fund to then be back invited into the Trump administration?
03:02:23.000So I sent this report over today to the Trump administration because I'm doing my part.
03:02:29.000I don't know about the people who are working for President Trump who are supposedly getting paid to do vetting.
03:02:34.000I don't really see much vetting going on.
03:03:01.000I have to keep a jar of Pepto in my drawer with me and a container full of ginger ale because I'm so nauseated right now from the lack of sleep and the lack of energy that I have right now from staying up so late, doing the work that other people in the Republican Party are supposed to be doing, trying to do vetting on potential CCP infiltration, trying to do vetting.
03:03:34.000And I'm doing it because I care about my country and because I care about Donald Trump.
03:03:38.000So if I have to take anti-nausea medicine and have to run on You know, multi-day benders where I don't get any sleep because I'm doing the job that people in our own Trump administration are supposed to be doing.
03:03:54.000I think it's time for people to step up the vetting process and to start doing more to protect Donald Trump because we have a serious problem.
03:04:01.000If a guy who donated to Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and Jamie Raskin while he was working for the Trump administration is now going to events hosted by Trump Trump administration officials.
03:04:16.000I'm talking about the crypto ball hosted by David Sachs, okay?
03:04:21.000Why are we not holding David Sachs accountable as the crypto and AIs are?
03:04:26.000Why are we not holding Marc Andreessen accountable?
03:04:29.000Why are we allowing Marc Andreessen to go on podcasts with Bari Weiss without disclosing the fact that he is giving money to Bari Weiss?
03:04:37.000So I don't know if she disclosed the fact in that interview that Marc Andreessen is one of her investors when he went on her program to talk about how, oh, I'm spending more than half my time at Mar-a-Lago since the election.
03:04:52.000Let's go ahead and play that clip of Marc Andreessen talking about how he's spending over half of his time since the election at Mar-a-Lago, which is really deeply disturbing.
03:05:19.000Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not like in the room.
03:05:21.000I'm like not, you know, again, I'm not claiming to be like in the middle of all the decision making, but I've been trying to, you know, help in as many ways as I can.
03:05:30.000So, look, I'll start by saying, look, as we discussed, Trump brings out a lot of feelings in a lot of people.
03:05:38.000And then there are many political topics that I'm very deliberately not weighing in on.
03:05:43.000And so I'm not Mr. Foreign Policy or Mr. Abortion Policy or guns.
03:05:47.000When I talk about these things, it's around, as I said, tech policy, business, economics, and then the health of the country, the success of the country.
03:05:57.000Have you been down to Mar-a-Lago since the election?
03:06:10.000Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not like in the room.
03:06:12.000I'm like not, you know, again, I'm not claiming to be like in the middle of all the decision making, but I've been trying to, you know, help in as many ways as I can.
03:06:20.000So, look, I start by saying, look, as we discussed, Trump brings out a lot of feelings in a lot of people.
03:06:29.000And then there are many political topics that I'm very deliberately not weighing in on.
03:06:33.000And so I'm not Mr. Foreign Policy or Mr. Abortion Policy or guns.
03:06:38.000When I talk about these things, it's around, as I said, tech policy, business, economics, and then the health of the country, the success of the country.
03:06:48.000Yeah, he's not Mr. Policy on all these other issues, but of course, you know, he's trying to implement and influence policy.
03:06:55.000Otherwise, he wouldn't be spending most of his time, as he told Barry Weiss, who he's funding, that he's been spending most of his time at Mar-a-Lago since the election.
03:07:05.000So these guys try to act like they're so sincere and that they're so altruistic in the way, oh, they're giving money.
03:07:11.000I'm a billionaire and I'm giving this amount of money to President Trump.
03:07:14.000It's like toilet paper money for me, but I'm so generous.
03:07:59.000While he was still working for President Trump's SEC in Trump's first term.
03:08:04.000And then after January 6th, he donated to Jamie Raskin.
03:08:09.000You can see here, this is an FEC record that shows that he donated to, and that's after he was at the SEC. He then went to Simpson Thatcher, a law firm.
03:08:21.000And he donated $1,500 in March of 2021. And March of 2021 is when the J6 committee was ramping up their efforts to encourage FBI raids against Trump supporters and also the deplatforming and the persecution of Donald Trump.
03:08:37.000So this guy now is aligning with David Sachs, and he works for Marc Andreessen, who has been spending most of his time at Mar-a-Lago.
03:08:46.000So if Marc Andreessen truly cares about President Trump and he truly cares about America First, why does he have this guy, Bill Hinman, working for him when Bill Hinman was literally undermining Donald Trump while he was working for Trump by donating to his political opposition and then funding members of the J6 Committee?
03:09:03.000And of course, Marc Andreessen has me blocked, okay?
03:09:24.000And if I was involved in Trump's vetting team, and I clearly don't work for President Trump, although I'm in regular contact with his team and with his staff at the White House.
03:09:36.000I would not be allowing these people anywhere near President Trump, or I would at least be making demands that individuals be fired if they were going to be occupying time at my residence.
03:09:45.000Like, you're going and spending time at the president's home, and yet you're employing somebody that donated to the J6 committee who supported and led the impeachments against President Trump.
03:09:59.000You're never going to get me to praise these big tech billionaires.
03:10:04.000Additionally, after leaving the SEC, Hinman joined Andreessen Horowitz's A16Z, a prominent venture capital firm deeply invested in crypto, where Hinman was appointed as an advisory partner.
03:10:15.000Mark Andreessen, co-founder of A16Z, has been a vocal advocate for crypto, and Hinman's move to A16Z was viewed by some as a continuation of his influence in shaping crypto policy, but from the private sector as opposed to his private role.
03:10:29.000So you can see on the website there, A16Z Crypto.
03:10:45.000The transition was particularly noted when A16Z announced a massive $2.2 billion crypto fund with Hinman's role viewed as leveraging his regulatory experience for the firm's benefit.
03:10:56.000Hinman's involvement in such a significant investment in crypto right after a tenure at the SEC marked by regulatory ambiguity has raised eyebrows about the revolving door between regulatory agencies and private sector gains.
03:11:09.000It's worth noting, as I said, and you can read this, it's on my X account and it's also on Lumard.com, scroll down, that much like Hinman was a never-Trumper, as I said before, he supported Clinton.
03:11:24.000And when asked if he was supporting Clinton over Trump in 2016, he said, is that a serious question?
03:11:30.000And then proceeded to berate Trump over his strict immigration policies, adding that, as I said before, any proposal to choke off immigration makes no sense.
03:12:00.000The OIG report was not released, and many people believe that Gary Gensler actually failed to release the report as a way to protect Hinman.
03:12:09.000And so if Gary Gensler is protecting Hinman, why would anybody want Hinman in the Trump administration on the Crypto Advisory Board?
03:12:16.000If this guy was responsible for a cryptocurrency winter, as many people accused him of, and some people say that he's corrupt, some people in the crypto industry believe that this guy belongs in prison.
03:12:30.000I'm just saying that if this is all true, why would we want this guy anywhere near President Trump's administration or his crypto board?
03:12:40.000So people need to be tweeting about this.
03:12:42.000Again, I sent this to President Trump's team directly today, and his staff acknowledged and confirmed receipt of my report and informed me that it's going to be passed along to the president and his personnel management team.
03:12:59.000You know, because as somebody who actually is a true loyal Trump supporter, not one of these people that showed up and pretended to be pro-Trump after not doing anything to support the president, somebody who actually has real blood, sweat, and tears in the game, as I have as an original Trump supporter, I'm doing the work that people who are getting paid by the Trump administration should be doing but aren't doing.
03:13:22.000And now President Trump is going to know, not because of them, but because of me.
03:13:27.000And I'm hoping that this can protect not just President Trump, but also the crypto community from people who want to use access to the president from their own or for their own personal gain at the expense of the American people.
03:14:10.000L.A. Azteca said, Laura is such a hard worker, deserves some R&R. Yeah, I know.
03:14:16.000I have like a splitting headache right now.
03:14:19.000Because I've literally been up for over 48 hours doing all this research and trying to get all of this information out there because it's just crazy to me.
03:14:27.000And this isn't even on top of the other stories that we talked about on Loomer Unleashed this week, including the story about how we here exclusively at Loomer Unleashed found, discovered the fact that Judge McConnell's daughter is a current Biden appointee who works at the Department of Education.
03:14:42.000So we're doing so much research that people who work for President Trump should be doing that aren't doing.
03:14:48.000Oh, we have 147,000 live viewers right now.

03:17:03.000You can think for yourself and you can determine your own opinion about Lindy Lee.
03:17:07.000I've already made my thoughts clear about what I think.
03:17:10.000Once again, I want to take a moment to thank tonight's sponsor of Loomer Unleashed, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
03:17:24.000Don't let the green agenda tick you off and put you into a tailspin when you can take advantage of it.
03:17:29.000There is one commodity that is needed for solar power, battery power for electric vehicles, nuclear power, and is a vital component in missiles, torpedoes, and aerospace.
03:17:39.000Silver is needed for all of that, and recent developments are creating an insurmountable problem for all of these industries.
03:17:49.000Manufacturers will pay almost any price and simply pass it on to the consumer or taxpayer.
03:17:53.000But what if you were the person that owed what they will need?
03:17:58.000You can be that person today by calling Kirk Elliott Precious Metals to purchase physical silver.
03:18:02.000I've chosen Kirk Elliott Precious Metals because I truly believe I've gotten to know Dr. Kirk personally, and I know that he cares about you.
03:18:10.000He's trustworthy, he's honest, and he educates you and your family before you make sure.
03:18:15.000That you make any purchases so that you can make sure that it's the right decision for you.
03:18:19.000God forbid you make a purchase and it's not the right decision for you.
03:18:22.000He only deals with low-cost bullion that doesn't carry high premiums.
03:18:27.000And what I love is that physical metals can also be placed inside your IRA. So call Dr. Kirk Elliott today at 720-605-3900 or schedule a call online today at kepm.com slash loomer and get out of the system with one of the safest and most private assets in the world.
03:18:51.000Let them know that Laura Loomer sent you or call 720-605-3900.
03:18:58.000We'll take a couple more questions from the chat.
03:19:01.000We've been live for almost three hours now, so it's definitely been a long show, but a lot of people were anticipating this interview with Lindy Lee tonight.
03:19:10.000And this bombshell report on William Hinman trying to infiltrate the Trump administration.
03:19:59.000I definitely want to know what you guys thought about the Lindy Lee interview tonight.
03:20:02.000So if you missed this interview or you were late to join because I noticed that we had a boost in viewership towards the end of the show, you can watch the replay of the show on Rumble.
03:20:18.000Or you can watch the replay on X. Just please be sure that if you're watching right now, you click the follow button.
03:20:24.000You follow me at Laura Loomer and also follow at Loomer Unleashed.
03:20:28.000And repost the live stream so that other people can see this interview as well.
03:20:33.000And also be sure that you visit lumered.com and share the articles that I spoke about tonight so that people can be aware of the snakes.
03:20:42.000Trying to sneak their way back into the Trump administration and the big tech billionaires and current Trump administration officials who, unfortunately, but not surprisingly, because I've been telling you these guys are cocksuckers and they can't be trusted, not surprisingly, I don't trust these people at all.
03:21:26.000And unfortunately, the media and the political elites in the RNC and even people in the Trump administration are failing to see this.
03:21:35.000And it's very, very concerning because we cannot allow for infiltrators and subverters and people who have bad intentions to get into the Republican Party or to get into the Trump administration.
03:21:48.000And so with that, I hope that you found this episode I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day.
