The home of Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania was set on fire on the first night of Passover, and yet, the media and liberal media are quick to point the finger at someone other than a pro-Israel terrorist.

00:33:19.000Sometimes... I'm like, oh, I should have a daily show instead of just a show twice a week, but it's a lot to cover even with just two shows per week.
00:33:29.000I want to get into this story that I found to be kind of entertaining, and maybe I'll take some flack for saying that it's an entertaining story given the fact that it was an act of arson, but I find it to be entertaining because of the political hypocrisy.
00:33:45.000As many of you may have heard, the governor's residence, Occupied by Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania was set on fire by an arsonist last week.
00:33:57.000I think that we have a news article about this.
00:33:59.000I mean, I don't know if you haven't seen this and you must not be watching the news at all because it's literally the only thing that the Democrats want to talk about.
00:35:16.000Cody Balmer is the guy who says, what we know about the suspect in arson at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's resident.
00:35:24.000Cody Balmer has been accused of a slew of crimes, including terrorism, prosecutors said on Monday.
00:35:29.000He's got this, you know, slothy beard going on there.
00:35:34.000They tried to actually say that Josh Shapiro was targeted by a Trump supporter who set his home on fire because Donald Trump and his rhetoric is causing an increase in anti-Semitism in America.
00:35:47.000This is what the Democrat pundits were actually saying on television in the aftermath of this act of arson.
00:35:53.000But now, right, after talking about this story ad nauseum for the last week, the Democrat media just doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
00:36:33.000And while he was talking to 911, he took responsibility for the act of arson.
00:36:38.000And then he said it was because Josh Shapiro was, I guess, pro-Israel and that he wasn't going to support the governor attacking our people, the Palestinian people.
00:36:49.000So the guy is, you know, self-identifying as a Palestinian Muslim.
00:36:54.000And he is saying that the Palestinian Muslim people are his people.
00:37:00.000And he said that he carried out this act of arson because of the war between Israel and Hamas.
00:37:07.000You know, you have to find this to be quite laughable and humorous, given the fact that Josh Shapiro was passed over.
00:37:13.000I mean, we talked about this extensively during the election season on Loomer Unleashed.
00:37:18.000He's another one of these self-hating, retarded leftist Jews who thinks that, you know, if he pays a dimmy tax, right, if he pays the dimmy tax to the Muslims and, oh, you know, if I do the bidding for the Muslims, oh, please, please, Muslim, please don't kill me.
00:37:43.000It's an illness in the left-wing Jewish community where they think that if they do the bidding of these radical Muslims, that these Muslims are just going to wake up and decide that they don't hate Jews anymore or that they don't hate Christians anymore or that they want to be civilized members of society.
00:38:14.000You can fact check all this stuff live on air right now so that you know that everything that you're hearing here on Loomer Unleashed is accurate.
00:38:23.000Josh Shapiro gave $5 million to a mosque, the Philly Alaska Center.
00:38:31.000A couple weeks ago, March 26, Shapiro announces $5 million grant to Philly Muslim Community Center.
00:38:38.000A record $5 million redevelopment grant will help a private school that blends Islamic teaching with a standard curriculum.
00:38:45.000But this Islamic Center has a documented history of preaching hatred against Jewish people.
00:38:51.000There was another report that came out that some of the Islamic scholars, right, that's what they like to call themselves, they're Islamic scholars, not Islamic radicals, they're Islamic scholars.
00:39:01.000They're very serious scholarly people, okay?
00:39:03.000And if you say anything otherwise, then you're an Islamophobic bigot like me.
00:39:10.000He gives five million dollars to this Islamic center that has a documented history of saying things like Jews are the most vile people in the world.
00:39:20.000So Jewish Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, gave a five million dollar grant to an anti-Jewish mosque.
00:39:30.000There's more Jew hatred in the Koran than Hitler's Mein Kampf.
00:39:34.000But we can't talk about that or else we're anti-Muslim or Islamophobic.
00:39:37.000We hate Muslims if we talk about the true contents of the Quran and if we actually want to give people a factual lesson on the danger of Islam and Western civilization.
00:39:48.000You're just going to be another bigot.
00:39:56.000I posted a couple of tweets about this and you can see the reports that show that this Islamic center was cited for Preaching hatred against Jewish people.
00:40:09.000Daniel Greenfield had an article about it.
00:40:13.000Shapiro sends $5 million grant to the mosque that called Jews the vilest people.
00:40:18.000Governor Shapiro attended an iftar dinner at a mosque where an imam had previously declared that Jews are the vilest people and announced a huge grant for the hate mosque.
00:40:27.000The $5 million grant described as the largest ever given to a Muslim institution.
00:40:32.000Came only five years after the Alaska Islamic Society in Philly was forced to apologize for posting Islamic sermons by an imam delivered at its mosque declaring that Arabs were superior to all races and that Jews were the enemies of Allah and the vilest of people.
00:40:46.000So Josh Shapiro, self-hating Jew, using taxpayer money to fund a hate mosque where they are preaching in support of Hamas.
00:40:59.000The real estate records trace back to the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood association that was cited during the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial, our nation's largest terrorism financing trial.
00:41:15.000And you have to ask yourself, why is Josh Shapiro funding these people?
00:41:18.000If he's Jewish and he wants to go cry about how he was attacked during Passover with his family at the governor's mansion, oy vey, a Jewish governor was attacked by a radical.
00:41:30.000Oy vey, let's sit around and cry about it.
00:41:33.000Oh my God, maybe we should have some more hate crime legislation in Congress to talk about all the hate speech and the anti-Semitism.
00:41:40.000But we can't talk about the fact that it's the Democrats that are actually manufacturing.
00:41:46.000We can't talk about the fact that anti-Semitism is a self-creation by Jewish people.
00:41:53.000We can't talk about the fact that Jewish people, and I say this as a Jew myself, literally go out of their way to create anti-Semitism by funding Jew-hating Muslim organizations and participating in interfaith dialogue with Jew-hating Muslims.
00:42:11.000So then they want to cry about, oh my God, all the anti-Semitism and look at all these radical Palestinians and the Hamas flags and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:20.000I mean, every day it's like, you know, more victimhood from members of the left-wing Jewish community who literally have zero self-awareness as they're standing shoulder to shoulder and arm to arm with these radical Muslim protesters who are protesting or resisting,
00:43:18.000If you just go to my Twitter account and you type in Hamas rioters at Laura Loomer, we've been documenting it.
00:43:25.000For those of you who want to fact check in real time, you just type in Hamas writers, Laura Loomer, and you can see the entire documentation.
00:43:32.000Years worth of documentation on my X account proving and documenting the Democrat Party's fixation with Hamas and their alliance.
00:43:42.000This radical red-green alliance, as I like to call it.
00:44:06.000Yeah, I mean, look, how much crying is this guy gonna do?
00:44:09.000At what point in time is any reporter gonna say...
00:44:12.000You know, do you take any responsibility for an individual setting your home on fire who supports the Palestinian pro-Hamas movement when you yourself just gave $5 million two weeks earlier to a pro-Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Society in Philadelphia?
00:44:27.000At what point did we just say, cut the shit, Josh Shapiro?
00:44:38.000At what point do we demand accountability from these left-wing Jews who seem to be taken over by some form of mental illness, like a Stockholm Syndrome?
00:44:49.000I don't know what it is, but it's some kind of a mental disorder that causes them to support people who literally want to watch them burn to death in their own homes.
00:45:01.000Josh Shapiro was going to be vice president with Kamala Harris.
00:46:15.000The state of Minnesota is a Somali shithole thanks to Democrats like Tim Waltz, okay?
00:46:20.000That's why they chose Tim Waltz to be Kamala Harris's VP, but then they...
00:46:27.000I guess fumbled their policy because Kamala Harris was the sitting vice president of the United States of America while she was running for president after Joe Biden bowed out.
00:46:38.000And the Muslims decided that they weren't happy with Biden's response to the war between Israel and Hamas.
00:46:45.000So they decided to vote for Trump, right?
00:46:48.000So the Democrats lost the Muslim vote, but they decided that...
00:46:53.000You know, it was going to be the Jew on the ticket that would cause them to lose the Muslim vote as opposed to their own inability to enact proper foreign policy or get the war between Israel and Hamas under control.
00:47:07.000Look, for the most part, Muslim voters in this country, and it's not every Muslim voter, but I'd say like 95% of the Muslim voters in this country are very selfish people.
00:47:17.000Okay, they're single issue voters, and their single issue is Islam.
00:47:20.000They're only going to vote for somebody who they feel is going to advance the cause of Islam in that given moment.
00:47:27.000And in this case, that person was Donald Trump, because Donald Trump was really the only candidate on the ballot who was proposing a peace deal.
00:47:37.000That's the only reason why a lot of these Muslims voted for Donald Trump.
00:47:40.000I mean, look, these people subscribe to Sharia supremacy.
00:47:44.000They believe in an ideology that is supremacist in nature.
00:47:48.000There are some patriotic Muslims in this country who put the Constitution before Islam, but for the most part, most Muslim voters in this country are incredibly selfish people.
00:47:57.000They're single-voter issues who only vote to advance the cause of Islam.
00:48:06.000If you ask the Muslims who voted for Trump in Hamtramck and Dearborn and all these Muslim enclaves in America why they voted for Trump, they'll say, oh, because Donald Trump promised that he was going to restore peace to Gaza.
00:48:18.000Even though there was never any peace in Gaza.
00:48:23.000But that's what you get when you're dealing with a supremacist ideology like Islam, right?
00:48:27.000Unfortunately, we don't really have anybody in the Republican Party that has the balls to stand up to this ideology and start calling it out.
00:48:34.000That's why you have Islamic compounds that are popping up in places like Texas and Florida, where you have these Sharia supremacists trying to buy up land and create these Sharia zones in these Sharia communities.
00:48:46.000I mean, you even had the mayor of Hamtramck, who unfortunately was just given an ambassadorship under the Trump administration, to go be the ambassador in Kuwait.
00:48:55.000So, look, you have people on the right and the left that clearly don't want to do anything to crack down on Islam in America, and then, you know, they cry.
00:49:05.000They cry when our monuments are desecrated in Washington, D.C. They cry when the governor's mansion that is being occupied by a Jewish governor gets firebombed by an anti-Semite Palestinian Muslim, okay?
00:49:21.000You know, if somebody is a true victim of an act of Islamic terrorism or a true hate crime, then yeah, you can feel sorry for them.
00:49:28.000But if you're somebody like a Josh Shapiro who is literally funding the same people who are preaching hatred against the Jewish people, go.
00:50:36.000He's supporting all of these left-wing Jewish organizations and leftist Jews in government who are supporting the invasion of our country, who are supporting the Islamification of our country.
00:50:46.000And then he wants to pretend to be a victim when a Palestinian Muslim sets his home on fire.
00:50:54.000Hopefully, Daddy Shapiro explained to his kids why their home was set on fire.
00:51:21.000Go blame Josh Shapiro for funding Islamic Jew haters.
00:51:27.000We have some video clips, too, from the news media that briefly talked about this, but they didn't really go as hardcore as I did, where they talked about how this Palestinian guy called into 911 and said, oh, Josh Shapiro is attacking our people,
00:51:45.000But, of course, the Democrats aren't going to talk about that because, well, then, you know, they're going to be forced to admit that these Palestinian protesters really aren't exactly peaceful people like they've been pretending they are for years now.
00:51:56.000Let's go ahead and play some of these news clips.
00:51:58.000I think we had a clip from one of the local newscasts where they were talking about this earlier.
00:52:04.000Governor's residence on North Front Street in Harrisburg.
00:52:49.000This morning, a possible motive for the arson attack targeting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
00:52:54.000While part of the residence was still smoldering early Sunday, Pennsylvania State Police said the suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911, identified himself, and said Shapiro needs to know that he will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.
00:53:08.000A newly released search warrant application quoted Balmer saying he wanted to stop having my friends killed and our people have been put through too much by that monster.
00:53:17.000Police said Balmer later admitted to harboring hatred toward Governor Shapiro and told investigators had he confronted Shapiro and the residents, he would have beaten him with his hammer.
00:53:27.000Prosecutors will ultimately determine what motivated this.
00:53:30.000The governor said the attack would not deter him from openly practicing his Jewish faith.
00:53:35.000I want them to see that my wife and I and our kids continue to celebrate our faith proudly and openly.
00:53:43.000I want them to see that people from All different faiths have reached out to condemn this act and to lift up our family in prayer.
00:54:34.000Look, you'd think that they would be more focused on the fact that they're literally admitting that it was a Palestinian motive, yet they're just like, oh, well, we hope the governor's okay, instead of having a conversation about the rise of Islamic terror in America and the non-peaceful motivations of these pro-Hamas Palestinian protesters in our country.
00:54:55.000It's really disturbing to me to see how desensitized these reporters are on Good Morning America to the fact that the motivation was Islamic in nature.
00:55:05.000I mean, years ago, after 9-11, Americans would have been in an uproar to know that an attack was motivated by Islam.
00:55:11.000And now people are just sitting around like, oh, well, we hope the governor's okay, instead of actually having a serious conversation.
00:55:17.000Let's play the clip one more time, because I don't think people really let this stuff resonate in their minds.
00:55:27.000This morning, a possible motive for the arson attack targeting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
00:55:32.000While part of the residence was still smoldering early Sunday, Pennsylvania State Police said the suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911, identified himself, and said Shapiro needs to know that he will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.
00:55:47.000A newly released search warrant application quoted Balmer saying he wanted to stop having my friends killed and our people have been put through too much by that monster.
00:55:56.000Police said Balmer later admitted to harboring hatred toward Governor Shapiro and told investigators had he confronted Shapiro and the residents, he would have beaten him with his hammer.
00:56:05.000Prosecutors will ultimately determine what motivated this.
00:56:08.000The governor said the attack would not deter him from openly practicing his Jewish faith.
00:56:13.000I want them to see that my wife and I and our kids continue to celebrate our faith proudly and openly.
00:56:22.000I want them to see that people from all different faiths have reached out to condemn this act and to lift up our family in prayer.
00:57:03.000They're just like, okay, well, you know, let's have a conversation about this, right?
00:57:06.000Like, if I was sitting there and I had access to mainstream media, I'd be sitting there wanting to have a conversation about, you know, whether or not we should be condemning the Democrats for promoting the Palestinian movement that is inciting this type of violence in our country.
00:57:20.000I think it's really concerning that something like this can happen to a United States governor, and they want to pretend like it's just a simple act of arson as opposed to an act of Islamic terror.
00:57:35.000They said that they're investigating this guy for terrorism, but notice they don't actually want to say Islamic terrorism.
00:57:44.000I'm sure that we're going to learn a lot more about Cody Balmer and the fire in the coming weeks, and I'm sure that Governor Shapiro is going to milk this incident as much as possible as he prepares to launch his 2028 presidential campaign.
00:58:29.000And of course, China's not backing down anytime soon.
00:58:34.000While the Trump administration is enacting these tariffs, and here we have the fact sheet they released as well, fact sheet, President Donald J. Trump ensures national security and economic resilience through Section 232 actions on process critical minerals and derivative products.
00:58:52.000Let's go ahead and get the article up about the tariffs as well, just so people, in case you're not following along with this, you're aware of these tariffs.
00:59:38.000No, Trump's new tariffs on China still stand 145%.
00:59:42.000But the White House quickly tried to clear things up, saying the 245% figure that they put in the April 15 document outlining the context for a new executive order from President Donald Trump, that sheet that we just showed you, Represents all previous and new tariffs on some Chinese goods dating to Biden and the first Trump administrations.
01:00:04.000As for comment on the data from the White House, a Chinese official responded on April 16th that it was up to the United States officials to provide answers on how they got to 245%.
01:00:18.000Because of a lot of economic uncertainty and global uncertainty with the markets and also with our foreign policy, it's causing a lot of anxiety in the markets and also a lot of anxiety from investors and everyday Americans who are watching the stock market go red.
01:00:36.000And so while this is happening, Americans are investing in precious metals.
01:00:40.000And as you know, our biggest supporter here at Loomer Unleashed is our sponsor, Kirk Elliott.
01:00:50.000Tariffs are in the news or whenever gold is surging, we'd love to have Kirk come on the program and talk to all of you about why now is a great time to invest in precious metals and gold and silver and why people are now hedging to gold amidst this economic turmoil and the Trump tariffs and this looming trade war between the United States and China.
01:01:13.000So joining me now to talk about why gold is surging to record highs and what What the American people should do to survive these Trump tariffs is the founder and CEO of Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, Dr. Kirk Elliott.
01:01:29.000Thank you so much for coming on the program tonight.
01:02:21.000We have to look at the basic backdrop of what this is all about.
01:02:26.000And, you know, you listen to mainstream media enough, like a lot of people are, and this is where they're getting their news, and they're thinking, Trump's tariffs are causing all of this stuff.
01:02:35.000No. Trump's tariffs happen to be happening at the same time that something bigger is going on, right?
01:02:44.000It's just coincidental that they're happening at the same time.
01:02:47.000The tariffs are actually acting as an accelerant.
01:04:01.000In 1980, when Reagan came into power, you had the Iranian Revolution and an oil crisis.
01:04:09.000And so the global community got together and you had all these stupid international non-governmental organizations like the World Economic Forum and the World Trade Organization and all these places that got together and said, we're going to fix this problem.
01:04:23.000And so back then, you had this international cooperation, so to speak, and they sort of fixed it.
01:04:32.000At least the appearance that they fixed things was there.
01:04:37.000That 1980 rally in gold faded because this global community got together and they sort of fixed things, right?
01:04:47.000So the geopolitical resolution caused the movement in gold and silver to come down.
01:04:54.000But this move is completely different, Laura.
01:04:58.000This is not based on a speculative blow-off of sorts.
01:05:20.000People now are looking at this global community and they're saying all these problems, the geopolitical conflict, the wars and the rumors of wars, all this debt spiral that's imploding.
01:05:30.000There's no international cooperation that's going to fix this thing.
01:05:34.000Because the international community is blaming Trump.
01:05:37.000And Trump is saying, no, I've only been in office for 100 days.
01:05:42.000None of this was actually because of me.
01:06:23.000They don't have a constitutional republic.
01:06:25.000They have communists who rule with brute force there.
01:06:28.000So, of course, you know, China is not going to comply or feel a need to comply.
01:06:33.000And unfortunately, the United States government has put itself in a position over the last several decades in our country of mass dependence.
01:06:42.000On China for everything from our manufacturing and our production and our medicines.
01:06:47.00095% of our pharmaceuticals come from China.
01:06:52.000You know, China kind of has us by the balls, too.
01:06:54.000While President Trump is going to be backing down, and I'm sure he's not going to allow for Xi Jinping to push him around like Joe Biden allowed for Xi Jinping to push us around, this is going to be a standoff.
01:07:05.000I think that a lot of people are underestimating how quickly China is going to cave.
01:07:11.000I don't think that China is going to cave as fast as many people are predicting.
01:08:14.000Even if you go to the low number, 7.5%, that means the minimum tariff on Chinese goods is 152.5%.
01:08:21.000The maximum tariff could be 245, right?
01:08:25.000Okay, so here's where Trump is absolutely a genius because Xi, he has the Chinese people behind him because of comments like, we are never going to bow our knee to America,
01:08:41.000right? We're going to fight tooth and nail, and we want to be the world's reserve currency.
01:09:18.000Now, let's just say that if he capitulates, he loses political favor.
01:09:25.000If he doesn't, and he keeps going back and forth with these trades and this trade wars and say, okay, we're going to raise our tariffs because you keep raising ours.
01:10:02.000Everybody. Like every single day, right?
01:10:06.000The impact of Trump's tariffs on China are massive to their economy.
01:10:12.000And to us, when Xi comes back and says, well, we're going to raise tariffs on American goods coming into China, Trump, and he said basically this, it's like, so what?
01:11:40.000If you look at some charts of gold purchases, for example, it's real interesting because over the last three weeks, you've seen like yesterday, for example, gold goes up like $110 an ounce.
01:11:57.000Yeah, but they said also, I saw one chart that showed as soon as the Chinese markets opened, gold surges again.
01:12:29.000And these markets are opening up at these prices, which means When you look at when the Chinese gold market opens, it's when this explosion is happening.
01:12:39.000So where are they getting the money to buy all this gold?
01:12:43.000They're selling U.S. treasuries, right?
01:12:45.000So this is where Xi might be thinking, okay, I know that I'm saying Trump's an absolute genius because he is.
01:12:52.000So he's probably thinking one of two things.
01:14:57.000So for Trump to actually change this, it's not going to happen overnight, which is why Besant, why Lutnik, why Trump all said this isn't going to be Trump's economy for another six months.
01:15:08.000We have to go through pain to get to the point where people can replace expensive foreign junk with American goods.
01:15:19.000But we have factories that need to be retooled.
01:15:22.000We have a workforce that needs to be retrained.
01:15:25.000Because we've had 40 or 50 years of exporting jobs overseas.
01:15:31.000But in time, it's going to be magnificent, right?
01:15:35.000And the only way that Trump loses, literally, to me, this is the only way he loses is if he stops now, right?
01:15:43.000Because if the globalist political pressure says, you've got to stop these tariffs, and Trump were to listen to Jerome Powell, Saying that all this stuff and this mayhem is Trump's fault.
01:15:56.000Because of that, we're going to have to...
01:15:58.000He said he wanted to fire him, but he can't do that.
01:16:00.000He can't actually remove him, but people went crazy today because Trump said, oh, he should be fired.
01:16:07.000Well, so much for an apolitical Federal Reserve, right?
01:16:12.000He's politicizing everything and blaming Trump saying, well, we're going to have to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all this stuff because of Trump's policies.
01:16:24.000And basically, what's happening is something really extraordinary.
01:16:31.000And this is going to take a little bit of time for this to work out.
01:16:34.000But if Trump were to stop right now and listen to people like Jerome Powell and the globalist banking cartel or whatever you'd want to call it, A, the markets have had a lot of correction and we wouldn't win the trade war.
01:17:12.000Can you explain to people what role gold and silver play in protecting people's wealth?
01:17:18.000During these periods of economic turmoil and also global turmoil, for instance, with these Trump trade wars, because if you could explain to people who have maybe people watching right now have never invested into precious metals,
01:17:36.000they've never invested in gold and silver before, why is now or why is any time of economic turmoil a good time to invest in precious metals?
01:17:47.000Two different things here that we should look at.
01:17:50.000Number one is on a governmental scale.
01:17:53.000So traders right now all over the world and gold and silver, and stocks and bonds, everything, they're not just hedging risk right now by going into gold and silver because it's going up.
01:18:41.000So in an inflationary world, they go up.
01:18:44.000Well, we're in an inflationary world because governments have run out of money, and they have to either increase taxes to generate revenue, which they can't.
01:18:55.000You increase taxes now, and you're going to lose revenue because people are living at the margin.
01:19:00.000If you raise taxes when people are living month to month, they're going to stop spending, right?
01:21:09.000We can do what the billionaires are doing by just simply rolling over your IRAs or the money that you have in the bank account when you're afraid that your banks are undercapitalized and they're running out of money.
01:21:23.000And so the mechanics are really easy to do that, which is why so many people are doing it.
01:21:29.000We're seeing Not just like at our firm, obviously, this is what we do, but across the board, across the country and countries around the world, you're starting to see the demand for gold and silver skyrocket and the supplies are diminishing.
01:21:45.000When you have low supply, high demand, prices go up.
01:21:50.000This is why it's such an attractive thing for people to do right now when they're going to bed at night and they're afraid.
01:21:57.000And they're listening to all this news.
01:21:58.000Tariffs are going to impact our society.
01:22:08.000But fear causes people to do stupid things sometimes, right?
01:22:13.000It's either you're going to make the wrong decision or you're going to make no decision.
01:22:16.000What I'm telling people is, don't ever operate out of fear, but out of logic and sound mind and out of reason, right?
01:22:23.000And you look at these fundamental patterns and these trends.
01:22:27.000And the legislative action and the monetary policy and some of these black swan events that just come out of nowhere that start to create different trends and take advantage of those.
01:22:38.000So this is why people go into gold and silver during times like this.
01:22:43.000General rule of thumb, the worse things get, the more scary things get, the more turbulent things get, the better gold and silver do.
01:22:55.000Are you seeing a lot more people contact you in the last couple weeks since these tariffs have been implemented under the Trump administration?
01:23:03.000I mean, if you don't mind sharing some of your internals with my viewers right now, in terms of your call volume or the amount of inquiries that you're receiving, what does that look like over the last couple weeks?
01:23:18.000Yeah, so I've been doing this since 2002.
01:23:42.000This right now is starting to rival that.
01:23:45.000And I would venture to guess within the next two to three months, it will surpass that because Our call volume is through the ceiling, right?
01:23:55.000And people are starting to look at, like, we don't know what to do.
01:23:59.000When people don't know what to do, do something that's more certain, right?
01:24:04.000For example, are these tariffs going to demolish the stock market because people stop spending money on all these expensive goods, whether it's, you know, car manufacturers and everything else?
01:24:15.000I mean, so when people stop spending...
01:24:35.000Right. Well, also, too, we're becoming a more technologically dependent society, and a lot of technological advancements depend on silver.
01:24:43.000And so there's also a shortage, you know, moving over to silver now.
01:24:48.000As opposed to gold, there's also potential future shortages.
01:24:54.000And so how does supply constraints or mining challenges for gold and silver affect their long-term investment potential for somebody watching who may be interested in investing in gold or silver and they want to know what the long-term investment potential is in case the stock market does bounce back?
01:25:14.000All the news is on gold right now, right?
01:25:53.000It's used for fuel cell technology and batteries for electric vehicles and the nuclear industry and the military industrial complex, missiles and torpedoes.
01:26:22.000And the demand is going so high, the supplies are not really there, and the mining capacity is not there.
01:26:30.000For example, does Samsung's new battery technology that uses solid silver core technology We'll charge an electric vehicle in less than nine minutes rather than like 12 hours.
01:26:44.000So within a couple of years, this is going to be the new technology.
01:26:46.000That's estimated to take up over 60% of the entire mining production of silver in a given year on one application, right?
01:26:59.000And when we are locking in hundreds of trades every single day for clients and we're calling the depository, And feeling the supply chain disruptions, the low supply.
01:27:12.000Now, but I think it gets worse, Laura, because there's very few just silver mines in the world where all they do is mine silver.
01:27:21.000Silver mining is a byproduct of copper mining, right?
01:27:24.000So copper is used in all forms of industry and things like that.
01:27:28.000So as the global economy is slowing down, copper mining is not going to be needed, so therefore there's going to be less silver.
01:27:36.000So when you look at all of these fundamental forces that make this chart, like when you look at a chart for gold and silver, it's going up and it looks amazing.
01:29:14.000Over the years, silver has done better than gold.
01:29:17.000Right now, you're seeing gold do a little bit better than silver, but I don't think that's going to last very long because of the supply chain disruptions.
01:29:33.000It's now moving to COMEX, but to what end?
01:29:37.000What does that mean with the tariffs and with the disruptions and the supply chains as well?
01:29:42.000Last time you came on my program, you said that most of the precious metals are actually coming from abroad.
01:29:48.000Yeah. And so with the tariffs and the disruption to the supply chain, what does that mean to somebody looking to invest or diversify their portfolio in gold or silver?
01:29:59.000I mean, we're talking about how it's a good time to invest, but are they going to be able to keep up with the demand?
01:30:19.000But COMEX, if you look at the amount of physical delivery as people get out of their futures contracts, they could either settle in cash or they could take physical delivery.
01:30:27.000The amount taking physical delivery is like nothing we've ever seen before.
01:30:33.000So people are wanting it, which means the supply available is leaving.
01:30:39.000And simple economics 101, when you have low supply and high demand, the prices go up.
01:30:47.000Pendulum shifting moment changing anytime real soon.
01:30:51.000It's been a structural change in the global economy.
01:30:54.000And for people who want safety and growth, I think this has many, many years, if not a decade plus of growth as the global monetary system is being changed.
01:31:08.000Now, people can say, well, are we going to tangible assets or are we going to cryptocurrency?
01:31:13.000You know, some kind of central bank digital currency or digital money.
01:31:20.000Even as we've seen enormous fluctuations with the crypto market as well, I've noticed that as crypto has gone down, crypto is almost following the market.
01:32:03.000I mean, so I look at that and when you look at cryptocurrency and gold and silver, they share a lot of the same fundamental reasons as to why people like them.
01:32:13.000You know, decentralized blockchain is private.
01:32:14.000Gold and silver are private, and they offer growth.
01:32:17.000Now, in reality, they're completely different.
01:32:20.000One's digital and one's tangible, right?
01:32:21.000But so you would think, as normal stock bond markets, normal equity and debt markets come down, that crypto and gold and silver would go up.
01:32:31.000Well, you're starting to see crypto correlate heavily with the stock market.
01:33:44.000You have agents and staff available all day, pretty much every day, except Sundays, from my understanding, to take people's phone calls and answer their questions and their comments and concerns.
01:33:56.000But if you visit KEPM.com slash Loomer, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals operates from Denver, Colorado, and serves clients across all 50 states.
01:34:33.000Look at the news and look at the way that the market is responding right now, and you can see for yourself.
01:34:39.000This isn't me just trying to pitch you a product or to make you go and buy, you know, gold and silver to support the sponsor of Loomer Unleashed.
01:34:47.000This is us giving you sound economic advice to, you know, protect your financial future and to protect your wealth.
01:34:54.000And you can go look at any news report and go look at the markets yourself and see that gold is at a record high right now.
01:35:00.000And so, you know, I would encourage people to give you a call tomorrow, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, or visit the website.
01:35:09.000We have a very, very, very hardworking team, I'm blessed, that will bend over backwards to help you answer your questions.
01:35:16.000You know, it's not just enough to be in the right place at the right time, but understand why you're doing it because that will bring peace of mind.
01:35:25.000And that's why I thought it was so important to have you on the program tonight because it's been dominating the news cycle.
01:35:30.000And, you know, I think that people need to understand, you know, despite what some people say, oh, yeah, don't worry, Xi Jinping is going to crumble, they're going to crumble to Trump.
01:35:39.000I'm not saying that he's not going to crumble, but I don't think that people really understand how determined the CCP is for global domination.
01:35:48.000And so don't underestimate Xi Jinping or the willpower of the CCP and the Trump administration.
01:35:54.000I'm not undermining or doubting President Trump at all.
01:35:57.000I am not doubting President Trump's strategy.
01:36:00.000I support the tariffs, the concept of the tariffs and making the CCP, you know, crumble at their knees.
01:36:06.000But the reality is, is this isn't going to be an easy fight and it's not going to be something where China just throws in the towel anytime soon.
01:36:16.000You know, think that people need to take that into account and get wise about protecting their assets and protecting their financial future, which is why, you know, I'm proud to be sponsored by Kirk Elliott Precious Metals and why it's always great to have you on the program to hear your insights and your financial advice to our viewers so that they can be ahead of the curve.
01:36:38.000You were watching the interview from, I think it was what, you know, four months ago, three months ago or so when you came on, right before the inaugural.
01:36:45.000We said everything that we said tonight, that they're going to try to blame Trump for this economy.
01:37:12.000And finally, we have a president in office who actually does what he says he's going to do.
01:37:16.000And so it's not too hard to predict some of these things.
01:37:19.000But everything that you said when you were on my program, when I first interviewed you several months ago, turned out to be true to a T. So if people want to fact check that themselves, they can go watch the previous interview and see.
01:37:34.000I trust the information that you're giving the viewers and that's why we have you on.
01:37:39.000If you have questions, if you have comments, let's go to the chat actually and see if there's a couple questions or comments before we let you go tonight and move on with the rest of the program.
01:39:43.000And so when Trump wins, the global community actually kind of loses everything, right?
01:39:52.000So this is why there is this political, economic, almost spiritual battle.
01:39:57.000Happening right now, right underneath our nose.
01:40:01.000Oh, and lastly, what I wanted to ask you about, I didn't get to ask you earlier, was your thoughts on President Trump's recent executive action.
01:40:09.000Let's go ahead and pull that back up again.
01:40:11.000I know we showed that earlier before you came on the program.
01:40:25.000President Trump ensures national security and economic resilience through Section 232 actions and process critical minerals and derivative products.
01:40:34.000Thoughts on this order that was issued by President Trump on April 15th?
01:40:39.000Yeah, I mean, so when you exempt a lot of things like gold and silver from a lot of these tariffs, right, it's because a lot of these things are critical, but When China is actually controlling a lot of the rare earth,
01:40:55.000basically materials, that are used a lot in defense military applications, right?
01:41:03.000And so how do you make sure that we still have access to these critical components that we need for defense and everything else?
01:41:12.000You have to actually bring the Chinese economy to its knees so they don't actually...
01:41:19.000Come back with some of these restrictive things on that.
01:41:22.000And so this is where it's actually not going to be pleasant, but it is easy to win.
01:41:28.000You just keep raising tariffs, raising tariffs, raising tariffs until China complies.
01:41:31.000And this is where Trump, when he wrote the book, The Art of the Deal, who knew that he'd be using that today so much because his negotiating power is like nothing I've ever seen.
01:41:43.000And executive orders like this that are going to keep America safe.
01:41:48.000And secure and just equalize the playing field.
01:41:53.000I mean, a lot of people hate these tariffs.
01:41:55.000Well, if tariffs were so bad, then why does every country have them on American goods, right?
01:45:30.000Because I call Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, and I learned how adding gold and silver to my portfolio is one of the safest ways to not just grow my finances, but to also protect them from the uncertainty of the future.
01:45:47.000Call economist Kirk Elliott at 720-605-3900 or schedule a call online at kepm.com slash loomer to learn how you can safely grow your retirement portfolio with precious metals.
01:46:01.000Moving on now, if you've been following along with my legal case, you know that last week I was in Beverly Hills, California for my deposition of Bill Maher.
01:46:12.000I'm not allowed to talk about the contents of the deposition, which was recorded on video, but it's really funny because today their lawyer, well, the lawyer representing Bill Maher.
01:46:24.000From Davis Wright and Tremaine, her name is Kate Bolger, actually contacted my attorney and said that they were going to be moving to ask the court to make the entire deposition confidential.
01:46:46.000Why do they not want the public to see the truth and to see what Bill Maher had to say in the deposition?
01:46:52.000So, a little interesting update, but of course this is only going to be increasing the attorney's fees and increasing the attorney's costs.
01:47:02.000HBO's deposition is going to be taking place next week, and then my deposition, I believe, is in June.
01:47:09.000So I'll be sure to keep you all updated on that, but I thought that it was kind of a funny situation.
01:47:15.000And then Davis Wright and Tremaine, the law firm representing HBO and representing Bill Maher in this defamation case that I filed, Go ahead and get this pulled up.
01:47:24.000They're actually scrubbing their website.
01:47:26.000They appear to be scrubbing their website.
01:47:28.000I exposed last week that Davis Wright and Tremaine is openly anti-Trump.
01:47:35.000They actually had an article on their website.
01:47:38.000It says President Trump's least favorite law firm, where they were glorifying themselves for being the firm that was hired by all the Trump haters, right?
01:47:47.000From the Steele dossier to defending...
01:47:50.000Fake News, CNN, they're the ones that represented George Stephanopoulos in the defamation case that President Trump filed against him, in which George Stephanopoulos was forced to settle, I believe, in December of 2024, to the tune of $15 million.
01:48:05.000ABC News and George Stephanopoulos had to settle with a $15 million settlement.
01:48:22.000I mean, perhaps they're worried that President Trump is going to sanction them or hold them accountable because I caught them today scrubbing their website.
01:48:29.000So right after I posted this, like several days later, they've appeared to have scrubbed their website, which is kind of funny because, you know, I guess they're probably really scared watching all these other law firms.
01:48:40.000Watching all these other law firms be held accountable by the Trump administration for representing people who participated in weaponized government or they themselves participated in weaponized government.
01:48:58.000This is a screen-recorded video that I posted earlier on my ex-account proving that they have deleted this article that I exposed on their website from their website.
01:52:52.000From the Steele dossier to defending fake news CNN, Davis Wright and Tremaine is fighting on the front line of the president's media war.
01:53:00.000Ragging about how they've represented the biggest Trump haters.
01:53:03.000They represented George Stephanopoulos in the defamation suit that President Trump filed against them when George Stephanopoulos falsely accused President Trump of being a rapist.
01:53:14.000And then he recently had to settle with President Trump for a $15 million donation to the presidential library.
01:53:20.000So, again, they represent the worst people.
01:53:23.000And what I was saying before the sound somehow turned off is that You know, Davis Wright and Tremaine, this anti-Trump law firm, contacted my attorney and I today.
01:53:35.000They're representing Bill Maher and they're representing HBO.
01:53:47.000They don't want anybody ever being able to see what Bill Maher said in this video deposition that was recorded on video when I was in Beverly Hills for this deposition on April 4th.
01:53:57.000And you have to ask yourself, if everything that he said under oath during that deposition is true, why is it that they want the deposition sealed?
01:54:07.000Why do they not want people being able to see what Bill Maher said on video during this deposition?
01:54:12.000Regarding the defamation case, why is it such a secret?
01:54:15.000Why does everything have to be sealed?
01:54:21.000But I was explaining that, you know, after the deposition, I had exposed the fact that they were openly bragging about being an anti-Trump law firm.
01:54:30.000They're openly bragging about how they're super anti-Trump.
01:54:37.000When I posted publicly about how a lot of these anti-Trump law firms have been sanctioned and held accountable by the Trump administration in executive orders, they then scrubbed this article from their website.
01:54:50.000So let's go ahead and play the clip because I understand that there were some audio issues and I want to make sure that everybody heard the clip.
01:55:11.000So they went from bragging to the Hollywood Reporter about how Trump's least favorite firm is Davis Wright and Tremaine and how they were soliciting their services to the biggest Trump haters in the world.
01:55:23.000And now that Trump's back in office and people like myself are putting a spotlight on this, they want to hide this.
01:57:13.000Why do you think that Davis Wright and Tremaine is scrubbing their loss?
01:57:17.000The lawsuit information from their website.
01:57:19.000Why do you think that they went from bragging in a Hollywood Reporter op-ed on their website about how they're the most anti-Trump law firm in America to now deleting the page just days after I put a spotlight on it on my ex account?
01:57:46.000I think that they're running scared, personally.
01:57:48.000I really honestly think that a lot of these law firms are shitting their pants, wondering whether or not President Trump is going to take action against them.
01:58:01.000I think they should be scared, too, because President Trump is doing a phenomenal thing by holding these law firms accountable.
01:58:07.000Any law firm that has participated in weaponized government, any law firm that has participated in attacks on the Trump administration should be held accountable.
01:58:16.000They absolutely should be held accountable.
01:58:19.000And that's what President Trump is doing, is holding them accountable.
01:58:22.000So, hey, you play stupid games, you're going to win stupid prizes.
01:58:28.000Davis Wright and Tremaine is in the fuck-around phase right now, and they're about to get into the find-out phase.
01:58:34.000So I guess we'll stay tuned to see what happens, but if I were a betting woman, I would probably take a bet that we're going to see some action against Davis Wright and Tremaine in the coming weeks.
01:59:09.000You know, over the last few weeks, I've received a lot of media attention, a lot of focus on my vetting of some of these nefarious individuals who are occupying space, unfortunately, in the Trump administration.
01:59:25.000I figured that I wanted to have a new segment on the show.
01:59:28.000And going forward on the show, we're going to have a new segment.
01:59:31.000I don't know exactly what I'm going to call it yet.
01:59:34.000Probably something along the lines of White House vetting crisis, you know, with a dramatic subtitle.
01:59:41.000I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
01:59:42.000But there has to be more attention and focus on the vetting crisis, the lack of vetting, the vetting disaster that's happening every single day in the Trump administration.
01:59:54.000You know, this is like a chronic illness within the Trump administration now where you have a lack of vetting that is really concerning.
02:00:01.000And so today's example of a vetting crisis, we might as well start this week before I come up with the official name of this segment, right?
02:00:11.000But just to highlight this week's example of the vetting crisis.
02:00:17.000I broke this story earlier tonight before.
02:01:01.000Financial literacy is a necessity, not a luxury.
02:01:04.000To kick off Financial Literacy Month, I had a great meeting with my longtime friend, John Hope Bryant, who is collaborating with us at U.S. Treasury on the Financial Literacy for All initiative.
02:01:14.000We look forward to working together to help deliver quality financial tools and knowledge to empower all Americans.
02:01:20.000You can scroll down and you can see the photo of the guy that he posted the photo with.
02:01:35.000You'd think that if somebody was going to be brought into the Trump administration and the U.S. Treasury Department, you know, of all places, Here we have Scott Besson saying that John O'Brien is his longtime friend.
02:01:49.000I mean, you can literally see it says right there, my longtime friend.
02:01:54.000Then you would think that he would do some vetting on his longtime friend.
02:01:57.000Or if he truly was a longtime friend, generally speaking, we all know the political affiliations of our longtime friends.
02:02:06.000I mean, I don't go around calling anybody my friend, right?
02:02:11.000There's people that want to say, oh, I'm friends with Laura Loomer.
02:02:14.000And then I get these phone calls from people that say, oh, you know, so-and-so said they're friends with you.
02:02:18.000It's like, I haven't talked to so-and-so in three years, but sure, whatever.
02:02:22.000yeah, I met them at a party one time or I met them at a political function.
02:02:25.000There's a big difference between an acquaintance, okay, a colleague or, you know, an employee or, you know, there's different classifications for people.
02:02:36.000You have your significant others, your family members, your best friends, your colleagues, your advisors, whatever, right?
02:02:42.000There's a million different things that you can call people.
02:02:45.000Scott Bestin went out of his way to say that John Hope Bryan was his long...
02:02:59.000I mean, I don't really have a lot of friends who are left-leaning, to be honest, but I know what the political views are of my closest friends.
02:03:06.000Something that I talk about with my closest friends, especially as a political person like Scott Besant is, an economic person, a financial person like Scott Besant is.
02:03:16.000His longtime friends have probably had conversations that relate to politics and the economy with Scott Besant, who is now our Secretary of the Treasury.
02:03:28.000Well, because it should be very disturbing for people watching this to see how close, Closely and how quickly Trump haters, people who were tweeting just days up until the 2024 presidential election,
02:03:43.000their disdain and contempt for President Trump.
02:03:46.000It should really concern everybody that Trump haters like John Hope Bryant are now able to walk into the Treasury Department and work with a senior cabinet member.
02:03:58.000And this guy, as I'm about to show you, is really good friends with Anthony Scaramucci, who was thrown out of the White House, you recall, during the first administration, who has become a rabid Trumpeter, constantly attacking Donald Trump, constantly speaking badly about his time in the Trump administration.
02:04:17.000Was writing op-eds in support of Kamala Harris in the days leading up to the presidential election of 2024, which John Hope Bryant himself shared.
02:04:26.000Actually, let's go ahead and pull up some of my tweets so that people can see these receipts.
02:04:30.000Because, look, I'm going to have an unlimited amount of content.
02:04:33.000The good thing about the Trump administration being full of incompetent people that don't know how to do a basic vet is that I'm never going to run out of content, right?
02:04:40.000I may not ever work for Trump in an official capacity because of jealousy and gatekeepers within the administration, but because so many of these people who work for him are just like total morons and they don't know how to do basic vetting, I'm never going to run out of content as an investigative journalist,
02:04:57.000right? I'm never going to run out of content.
02:05:01.000Maybe my political consulting firm, Lumard Strategies, is never going to run out of content either because at this rate, there's going to be a lot of people to investigate, you know?
02:05:10.000White House vetting crisis continues as Trump-appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary invites pro-impeachment Trump-hater to collaborate with him at the Treasury Department.
02:05:27.000Trump-appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant invited rabid Trump-hater John Hope Bryant to work with him at the U.S. Treasury despite John Hope Bryant's public praise of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for banning President Trump's ex-account on January 8, 2021 after J6.
02:05:43.000Besant called John Hope Bryant his longtime friend in the ex-post below on 4-3-25.
02:05:49.000Here's the evidence that John Hope Bryant celebrated the deplatforming of President Trump and called for Donald Trump to be impeached two days after.
02:05:56.000John Hope Bryant also called on Trump to resign after J6, but he has since been brought into the Trump admin by his good friend Scott Besant.
02:06:03.000Okay, let's scroll down and look at these screenshots.
02:06:07.000So a tweet on January 8th, 2021, that's two days after the January 6th Capitol protests.
02:06:28.000So, of course, what happened on January 8th?
02:06:30.000Well, it was the day that true free speech and democracy died in America.
02:06:34.000That is when all of the big tech social media companies collaborated and conspired together in a conspiracy to silence the president of the United States by deplatforming him.
02:06:45.000The most un-American thing I think that I have ever witnessed.
02:06:49.000With my own eyes, as an American citizen, that day will live in infamy.
02:06:54.000It is the day that free speech truly died in America, when people sat by and did nothing.
02:06:59.000As the leader of the free world, the president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump was deplatformed as the sitting United States president by all social media companies.
02:07:09.000And here you have this piece of shit, John O'Brien, who is a longtime friend of Scott Besant, by his own words, who was invited to collaborate at the U.S. Treasury Department under...
02:07:24.000You know how they have those little buttons?
02:07:25.000You know how Trump has a Diet Coke button on his desk?
02:07:27.000I need to get a button that makes a crazy noise.
02:07:29.000Or maybe we need to, you know, Cannon, my producer, we need to get some kind of sound animation so that every time I want to do a segment on a vetting crisis or talk about the morons in the Trump administration who are, you know, not doing proper vetting, we're able to, like, blast the sound.
02:07:44.000Can we get some kind of sound animation?
02:07:49.000Put your comments in the chat about what you think that sound should be because I definitely think that we need some animations for these revelations.
02:08:36.000The only person who's going to get hurt from this situation is Donald Trump, okay?
02:08:40.000Because he's going to be surrounded by snakes and people who want to sabotage him.
02:08:44.000He's going to be surrounded by people that want to obstruct his agenda.
02:08:48.000So if anybody's going to get hurt, it's going to be President Trump because he's surrounding himself with people who are not looking out for him.
02:08:56.000He's surrounding himself with people who don't know how to do basic vetting.
02:09:07.000Just want to make sure we don't have any more sound issues.
02:09:10.000I'm not sure why the sound cut out earlier, but be sure that if you can't hear, there's audio issues, be sure that you just post it in the comments so that we can fix it.
02:09:18.000But it looks like everything is good right now.
02:09:20.000Let's go back to this X post because it gets even worse.
02:09:24.000You know, it's like, wait, there's more.
02:09:26.000You know those commercials that we used to see on TV?
02:09:41.000A compromise to a necessary impeachment.
02:09:43.000Might be, one, Mr. Trump agrees to resign on his own, or two, a complete repudiation by ours, he's talking about Republicans, including resignation of his White House team, all senior officials.
02:09:54.000So he wanted all senior officials who work for Trump.
02:09:57.000Some of those people are still working for Trump today, by the way.
02:10:00.000Some of them aren't, because a lot of them, you know, were disloyal and went to go work for Ron the Sanctimonious, as we saw.
02:10:06.000But a lot of those senior officials still work for Trump.
02:10:11.000Is he going to walk into the White House and walk into the Treasury Department and he's going to call for these loyalists, these Trump loyalists, to resign?
02:10:21.000This DEI hire by Scott Besson just wants to, you know, proclaim that Donald Trump should resign or that he should be impeached because he was fighting for election integrity and fighting against the stolen election of 2020.
02:10:32.000I thought that we were getting rid of DEI and then we get to have these uppity blacks just walk into the Trump administration and start making demands and acting like they run the Treasury Department and that they should have like an active role in the Trump administration while they sit I mean,
02:11:04.000we were told that the Trump administration was getting rid of DEI and this guy's entire focus is running a foundation with a focus on appointing black people to positions of power.
02:11:17.000In what world are we going to just appoint people to positions of power or encourage people to be made executives or CEOs in our country because they're black?
02:11:27.000I mean, this is not an extension of the Obama administration.
02:11:32.000And yet you have people who subscribe to that mentality.
02:11:36.000And I'm sure I'll get ripped for calling him an uppity black man.
02:11:42.000You have this uppity black liberal man, this elitist, uppity liberal black man walking into the Treasury Department, acting like he should have a seat at the table because of the color of his skin, talking about financial literacy when he's done nothing to contribute to the health of our country or the health of our economy or done nothing to help get President Trump elected.
02:12:05.000In a previous tweet I posted, you could see that three days before the presidential election, he was posting op-eds that were written by Scaramucci talking about how his wife almost divorced him because he went to go work for Trump.
02:12:17.000Last time I recalled, it wasn't because he went to go work for Trump.
02:12:20.000It was because he couldn't keep his dick in his own pants.
02:12:23.000But hey, I guess we're all a fan of revisionist history.
02:13:22.000The article was about how Scaramucci regrets working for Trump and how he was focused on helping raise awareness about why people shouldn't vote for Trump and should instead vote for Kamala Harris.
02:13:31.000John Hope Ryan called this anti-Trump article a solid piece three days before the presidential election.
02:13:37.000And again, I thought we banned DEI from the Trump administration.
02:13:40.000It's kind of interesting that, you know, we have this individual whose organization focuses on placing people of color into executive-level positions.
02:13:49.000You don't just get to go work in corporate America or go work for the United States government because you're Black.
02:13:57.000I thought that this administration was focused on merit, but then Scott Bessent is friends with all these DEI-promoting individuals like John Hope Bryant who have a history of donating to Democrats.
02:14:09.000And, you know, it's like, what's going on here?
02:14:12.000And so I said, just very point blank, why do we need a woke black guy who hates Trump and was dumb enough to support Kamala Harris working with the new Treasury Secretary on financial literacy, right?
02:14:22.000And financial literacy is just another, you know, it's another woke initiative.
02:14:27.000They're trying to insinuate that people of color in this country don't have the skills to understand.
02:14:34.000You know, the economy or don't have the skill set to understand concepts like the national debt.
02:14:40.000And the reality is, is there's a lot of white people in this country who don't understand it either.
02:14:44.000There's also a lot of black people who have perfect understanding of this.
02:14:48.000So they're trying to make like financial literacy a racial concept.
02:14:53.000And if you look at this guy, John Hope Bryant, you know, they can deny it all they want and say that they're not talking about DEI and they're not talking about race when they talk about...
02:15:03.000But if you look at this guy, he's on The Breakfast Club, which is a black radio program.
02:15:08.000He's going on all these different liberal shows on MSNBC, CNN, and he's talking primarily about the black community.
02:15:17.000I just, you know, I just think that now that we're in this new golden age of America, we need to be focused on America first, not black people first, not Hispanic people first, right?
02:15:28.000Not this group of people first, not trannies first, right?
02:15:31.000We need to start putting the American people first.
02:15:34.000And we definitely don't need to be elevating people who have a documented history of working against the president of the United States in these positions of power.
02:15:42.000So let's scroll down and you can take a look at what he said.
02:16:39.000Anthony Scaramucci denies he had an affair with Fox hosts and explains why, scroll up, I was reading that title, why he didn't rush to see his newborn son.
02:16:49.000Anthony Scaramucci, whose wife filed for divorce after he joined the Trump administration, denies having a sexual relationship with Kimberly Guilfoyle.
02:16:56.000So look, like, I like Kimberly Guilfoyle.
02:16:58.000Kimberly Guilfoyle is a friend of mine, and she's a friend of the show.
02:17:01.000But I remember that, and look, she was not married at the time, so...
02:17:43.000I'm specifically focused on Anthony Scaramucci's claims that his wife tried to divorce him because he took a job.
02:17:49.000I don't really think that the people in Trump's inner circle or the people who were privy to all the details of who Anthony Scaramucci was hanging out with during that time are going to confirm that story that Trump...
02:18:05.000Is the reason why his wife filed for divorce.
02:18:07.000I think it had to do with other things, Anthony.
02:19:06.000Let's go back to the X account and you can see what he said.
02:19:09.000So you can see the timestamps on that.
02:19:12.000So look, let's open that again, that photo.
02:19:14.000You see right there, the date on that.
02:19:18.000If you scroll up a little bit, because you can't see it on this big screen, scroll up on the photo so people can see the date on the bottom of it.
02:19:25.000Okay, it says 11-2-2024, so November 2nd, 2024, three days before the presidential election, okay?
02:19:33.000Three days before the 2024 presidential election.
02:19:50.000And then go to the next image, and then you can see what the subtitle of the article was.
02:19:56.000The Mooch is the Wall Street bro who lasted 11 days as the White House comms director.
02:20:01.000Now he's back as a podcast pundit helping Kamala Harris get her head around crypto and warning America about his old boss.
02:20:08.000So this guy who Scott Besson just brought into the Trump administration to work with him and collaborate with him on a financial literacy project three days before the presidential election was calling this article attacking President Trump and promoting Kamala Harris and And helping her get around crypto initiatives,
02:21:10.000It's like you can only make excuses during your White House press conferences so many times about how a scoop isn't really a real scoop or this is a manufactured story by the media before people just start calling you out for lying to the American people about the incompetence.
02:21:35.000I would take a bullet for Donald Trump.
02:21:37.000But can we please have a conversation about how incompetent some of his staff are, starting with the vetting crisis, OK, because eventually it's going to be so bad it's going to lead to impeachment or it's going to lead to, I don't know, some catastrophic scandal that there's no going back from.
02:21:54.000You know, hate to see that day happen or hate to watch that day approach, but...
02:21:59.000That's where we're headed with the lack of vetting and the incompetence by some of these officials in the Trump administration.
02:22:06.000And I don't understand why I have to be the one to say it.
02:22:09.000You know, like, watch, in a few weeks it's going to be like, Laura Loomer informs President Trump about, you know, moles brought in by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
02:22:18.000And then, you know, we're going to see another two weeks of obsessive news coverage about a meeting I had with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, right?
02:22:25.000I mean, why is it that I have to do this job?
02:23:00.000This is really shitty work being done by whoever's in charge of making sure that people like John O'Brien don't get into the Trump administration.
02:23:47.000But a lot of these agency heads are doing their own vetting, and so Sergio doesn't have control of that.
02:23:54.000If you have people like Mike Waltz or Scott Besson who want to overstep Sergio and his authority and they want to do their own vetting or bring in their own people, bypassing Sergio.
02:24:03.000So they can't just blame Sergio Gore for everything.
02:24:06.000They can't blame Susie Wiles for everything.
02:24:08.000At some point, these agency heads or these cabinet picks have to be held accountable for their own...
02:24:15.000Their own vetting disasters and bringing in their friends, their shithead liberal friends, as President Trump has once said, right?
02:24:22.000I believe President Trump once, during his first administration, described it as someone's shithead liberal friends.
02:24:27.000But look, a lot of these people are bringing in their shithead liberal friends, and that's what's happening.
02:24:59.000U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent invited rabid Trump-hater and Russia collusion conspiracy hoax promoter John Hope Bryant to work with him at the U.S. Treasury despite John Hope Bryant's long history as a Trump-hater and Democrat donor.
02:25:12.000And then, of course, no reply from Scott Bessent.
02:25:15.000He loves going on the MAGA podcast, loves talking to the MAGA base.
02:26:00.000We have 52,000 people watching on X. How many people are watching on Rumble right now?
02:26:09.000We have more people watching on X. So we have like 54,000 people watching right now.
02:26:15.000I guess none of us like Trump, you guys, because John Hope Bryan, a longtime friend of the Trump-appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary, says nobody likes Trump.
02:26:26.000Nobody likes Trump, apparently, you guys.
02:26:43.000And if you're watching this, please be sure that you're posting the live link.
02:26:46.000Share it, because it's really important that people get this information.
02:26:49.000You're not going to see this on Fox, or maybe you will two years from now when they decide to scroll back in the Loomer archives and steal my stories like they always do.
02:27:50.000How does somebody like me get blocked from working in the administration, despite President Trump's own directives, to hire me four times, but then somebody like this, who's openly celebrating the stolen election, gets to go work in the Trump administration?
02:28:04.000What's going on in the Trump administration?
02:28:07.000Who's in control of making sure that people are properly vetted?
02:28:33.000But that's good for me because I'm never going to run out of content.
02:28:35.000I'm never going to run out of content.
02:28:37.000I'm never going to run out of things to share with President Trump.
02:28:40.000But I'm sure President Trump is going to be really happy to learn about the fact that his trusted genius cabinet picks are bringing on a bunch of Trump haters to come work for him.
02:30:34.000Why would Scott Besson be friends with somebody like this?
02:30:37.000Why is the U.S. Treasury Secretary friends with somebody that supports Obama and supports Hillary Clinton and supports Raphael Warnock and supports the impeachment of Trump and thinks that he and his staff should resign over January 6th?
02:31:00.000That's very obvious to me at this point in time.
02:31:04.000But if we did have actual proper vetting taking place, wouldn't anybody sit there and think to themselves, maybe it's not a good idea to have somebody in the government who
02:31:15.000that Trump advisors should resign over J6. Maybe it's not a good idea to have somebody working in the Trump administration who's best friends with Anthony Scaramucci.
02:31:49.000I don't know what qualifies somebody to be a genius.
02:31:52.000I'm going to have to find out someday what it means to be the best and the brightest and a genius so that you can go work for the Trump administration.
02:32:00.000Let's go to the chat before we close out tonight.
02:32:04.000Stay tuned because every single week, you guys, I'm going to have a segment like this.
02:32:07.000I'm going to have a segment on the vetting crisis in the White House.
02:32:10.000So you'll be able to hear all about the Trump administration vetting crises and their vetting failures on a weekly basis by subscribing to Loomer Unleashed.
02:32:24.000I'm never going to run out of content.
02:32:26.000I sleep really well at night knowing that at least I'll never run out of content.
02:32:32.000Let's scroll up and see what a couple people are saying.
02:34:03.000I'm just going to have to start exposing everybody in every agency because it's an embarrassment.
02:34:06.000We have to expose these people now from the get-go before we get deep into the Trump administration because we have to at least create a record so that if these people do something subversive during the Trump administration, I'll be able to at least pull the receipts and say, I told you so.
02:34:22.000Right? I'll be able to say, look, you know, I told you so.
02:34:25.000This is something that I uncovered, that I exposed, that you people wanted to obstruct and you wanted to hide from the President of the United States of America because you are subversive, because you don't actually support the President's agenda.
02:34:39.000So, at least I'll get the peace of mind knowing that I documented everything, that I have records of everything, I have screenshots of everything, so that if everything goes to shit...
02:34:49.000And they sabotaged Donald Trump with another coup.
02:34:51.000I'll at least be able to say, you know what?
02:34:53.000I did my best and I tried to warn everybody and I did what I could to fight for President Trump and it's not my fault.
02:35:00.000You know, it's going to suck at the end of the day if they're able to stage another coup against him, but at least I'll know that I warned them and I gave them ample warning and warning time and information and research and it's going to really suck to watch everything that we fought for get flushed down the drain again.
02:35:19.000There's only so many times I can say I told you so before I just blow my brains out because I'm just so frustrated by it all.
02:35:25.000And I think that it's driving a lot of people crazy.
02:35:28.000You know, the constant gaslighting from people in the administration, the constant gaslighting from people like Pam Blondie and, you know, all of the Fox News interviews.
02:35:43.000It's just there's no accountability whatsoever.
02:35:45.000So we're just going to have to hope that You know, the people that are in these positions are just going to use their positions of power to inform the president about these things, because I'm not going to be able to be with President Trump every single day.
02:36:10.000It's his James story that they're pushing out, trying to pretend like it's a news story.
02:36:15.000We alerted the Trump campaign to that.
02:36:18.000CCP Skip Tracer, who's a Loomer Unleashed contributor who comes on my show often, we alerted the Trump campaign to that over a year ago.
02:36:25.000Why did they sit on this information if they knew during the trial, the Angoran trial, that Tish James was guilty of what Trump was accusing her of?
02:37:03.000I hope that I'm not the only one, though, that gets this animated about it.
02:37:06.000So hopefully if you feel the same way I do, or you feel just as outraged by all of this as I do, post a one in the chat.
02:37:13.000Because sometimes I sit here and I'm like, you know, it's not very healthy to get this worked up about this.
02:37:18.000But every day I'm sitting here and I'm like, oh my god.
02:37:21.000It's going to just get worse, isn't it?
02:37:25.000But, yeah, trying to do what I can do.
02:37:28.000And even when I do warn the president and I have my meetings with him, they always leak it.
02:37:34.000Somebody told CNN where I was going to be, and as I was walking out of the White House, CNN's cameras were right there to film me walking out.
02:37:41.000Like, how do they get that information unless somebody who works for President Trump tips them off and says, Laura Loomer is walking out of this door at this time right now.
02:38:08.000Any other comments before we close out tonight?
02:38:10.000Again, I am going to be reporting on this throughout the weekend, so be sure that you're following me on X for exclusive updates and reports.
02:38:18.000Follow me on X at Laura Loomer and on X at Loomer Unleashed, and also be sure that you're following my website, Loomerd.com, so that you can get all of my exclusive updates and my reports, read all of my exclusive content on Loomerd.com.
02:38:54.000Anyway, with that, thank you so much for tuning in tonight.
02:38:57.000I hope you all found this information to be informative, and I hope that every single episode of Loomer Unleashed gives you tools and information and content that you're not getting anywhere else.
02:39:10.000I like to provide original content and original investigative reporting to my viewers, things that the mainstream media just isn't covering.
02:39:21.000You know, there still is a massive censorship campaign in this country.
02:39:25.000Even though we have Donald Trump in the White House and we have X and we have Rumble, there's still a lot of bureaucrats that are trying to censor the flow of information.
02:39:33.000They don't want people like Donald Trump getting access to information.
02:39:36.000They don't want the American people getting access to certain information because they want to keep you in the dark and they want to continue sabotaging the Trump administration and the America First MAGA movement.
02:39:48.000And so that's why it's important that you support the program.
02:39:54.000It was really great to have Dr. Kirk Elliott on the program tonight.
