00:25:52.000 Momentarily, I'm going to be joined tonight by a Florida representative in the Florida legislature, a guy by the name of Alex Andrade.

00:26:06.000 I wanted to make sure that I pronounced his name correctly.

00:26:09.000 Alex Andrade.

00:26:10.000 Alex Andrade has been in the news this week.

00:26:14.000 It's been quite controversial here in Florida, but I'm actually loving it.

00:26:19.000 Alex Andrade, that's how you pronounce his name, a very exotic-sounding name, a nice last name.

00:26:25.000 Alex Andrade has found himself in the news this week because he's actually challenging Ron DeSantis.

00:26:30.000 He's one of the few Republican lawmakers who had the balls to challenge Ron DeSantis.

00:26:36.000 And, you know, I've been talking about Ron DeSantis for years, right?

00:26:39.000 I was one of the first to actually call out the fact that he was planning on running against Donald Trump in 2024.

00:26:47.000 And people said I was crazy.

00:26:48.000 They said, no, he just became governor.

00:26:50.000 What makes you think that he's going to run for president of the United States?

00:26:54.000 And the reality is, is that if you've been following Florida politics or you're familiar with the Florida GOP at all, then you know that it's one of the most corrupt Republican parties throughout the entire nation.

00:27:06.000 And Alex Andrade is very familiar with that corruption as a member of the Florida legislature.

00:27:14.000 He's been personally victimized by Ron DeSantis, and now because he actually has the integrity as somebody who has in the past, you know, supported Ron DeSantis, Alex Andrade actually endorsed Ron DeSantis for president, not because he wanted to,

00:27:30.000 he's going to get into this tonight too, but because, you know, he was coerced, he was actually coerced.

00:27:34.000 By Ron DeSantis and his staff who were going around threatening Florida lawmakers to endorse Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump.

00:27:42.000 And so there's a lot that we're going to get into tonight.

00:27:45.000 We're going to have Representative Andrade here with us for about an hour because the information that he's going to reveal to you is quite shocking.

00:27:54.000 And it confirms what many have called a conspiracy as it relates to the conduct of Ron DeSantis and his staff.

00:28:03.000 We're also going to address the recent allegations coming out of the Department of Defense that there is a soft coup taking place against Pete Hegseth, our Defense Secretary.

00:28:13.000 And this is something that I've been reporting on.

00:28:16.000 As we know, there were a lot of GOP senators who didn't want to necessarily confirm Pete Hegseth for his position of Defense Secretary.

00:28:24.000 I've always been an adamant supporter of Pete.

00:28:26.000 He's somebody that I've known for a long time.

00:28:28.000 He's a personal friend of mine, and I think he's...

00:28:31.000 Going to do a great job as defense secretary.

00:28:33.000 But it's not a surprise to anybody, or it shouldn't be a surprise at least, that the deep state and all of these rhino obstructionist senators want to have control over the military-industrial complex, and so thus they put up a fight for the defense secretary position,

00:28:50.000 and they adamantly oppose Pete Hegseth.

00:28:54.000 I think that even President Trump wasn't sure that Pete Hegseth was going to survive the confirmation process.

00:29:00.000 And so why do I bring this up?

00:29:03.000 Because there was a story that actually came out in the media.

00:29:07.000 I believe it was NBC News.

00:29:08.000 And we could probably get that on screen before we bring Representative Andrade on.

00:29:13.000 Andrade, it's such a nice name.

00:29:14.000 I wonder where that name comes from.

00:29:15.000 We're going to ask him tonight because he's here with us for an entire hour.

00:29:20.000 There was a story in NBC News during the week of the confirmation hearings for Pete Hegseth, and the story was Pete Hegseth is likely not going to survive the confirmation process, and so...

00:29:33.000 President Trump met with Casey DeSantis and Ron DeSantis at Mar-a-Lago and went golfing at his golf club in West Palm Beach and decided that Ron DeSantis is going to be the next defense secretary.

00:29:43.000 Well, it's kind of true and it's also kind of not true.

00:29:46.000 What is true is the fact that Ron DeSantis is the backup position for Pete Hegseth and he was selected by President Trump, my sources have confirmed this, to be the replacement or rather the Plan B Option 2 backup candidate For Pete Hegseth,

00:30:05.000 if Pete Hegseth didn't survive the confirmation process.

00:30:09.000 Pete Hegseth survived, thank God, right?

00:30:12.000 He was able to get confirmed, he got voted in.

00:30:14.000 However, now, after SignalGate, the question is, why is there so many calls for Pete Hexeth to be fired, but there aren't calls for Michael Waltz to be fired, right?

00:30:24.000 Michael Waltz is the one who created the chat with Alex Wong, you know, the Deputy National Security Advisor who I exposed for his ties to China and his wife who, you know, worked to prosecute J6ers during the Biden regime. 0.99

00:30:39.000 It's really interesting you see that there's so much vitriol.

00:30:41.000 There's so many leaks coming out of the Department of Defense and so many attacks against Pete Hegseth.

00:30:47.000 Well, that's because Ron DeSantis is positioning himself and is actually trying to get within the Trump administration, he wants to replace Pete Hegseth.

00:30:58.000 And so what does that mean?

00:30:59.000 What is that going to look like for the state of Florida?

00:31:01.000 Obviously, Byron Donald has filed to run for governor of Florida.

00:31:05.000 President Trump has already endorsed Byron Donald to run for governor of Florida.

00:31:09.000 That is happening right now as I speak to you tonight.

00:31:12.000 Jeanette Nunez, the lieutenant, or I guess I should say former lieutenant governor of Florida because she went to go work and become the president of FIU, Florida International University, a large college here in the state of Florida.

00:31:25.000 The seat for the lieutenant governor is vacant.

00:31:30.000 What happens if Ron DeSantis, who did not appoint himself to become the next senator, he appointed Ashley Moody, thus opening up the Florida Attorney General slot?

00:31:39.000 You have a guy named James Uthmeyer, who served as Ron DeSantis' campaign manager.

00:31:44.000 If you're a longtime viewer of Loomer Unleashed, then you know we've covered extensively the corruption of James Uthmeyer, and I've reported extensively on the conflicts of interest that exist.

00:31:55.000 And we're going to get into that tonight because Representative Andrade is actually calling for James Uthmeyer's prosecution and bravely.

00:32:03.000 But before I get into that, you have to understand the dynamic before I bring Representative Andrade on.

00:32:08.000 The play here is for Ron DeSantis to become the defense secretary in a negotiation so that his wife decides to stand down and not run for governor of Florida.

00:32:21.000 Or perhaps it would be arranged so that she could be the lieutenant governor under Byron Donalds. 0.95

00:32:26.000 Although I've been told that there are other candidates for lieutenant governor, which include current members of the Florida Republican legislature.

00:32:38.000 I'm not going to disclose the names of those individuals, but I do know that there is talks taking place right now to...

00:32:48.000 Select a female member of the Florida Republican legislature to perhaps become the lieutenant governor under Byron Donalds when he is the next governor of Florida. 0.83

00:32:58.000 So when I'm allowed to disclose that information, you'll be the first to know here on Loomer Unleashed.

00:33:04.000 But if Byron Donalds is appointed governor and Casey DeSantis stands down, the play then is for Joe Gruters to be appointed as CFO.

00:33:16.000 That's the play.

00:33:18.000 And then you avoid a very messy primary and you avoid all the drama and all of the, you know, contentious debate and all of the infighting in the Republican Party.

00:33:27.000 And that's not a rumor.

00:33:28.000 In fact, my next guest joining me now, Representative Alex Andrade from the 2nd District here in the state of Florida, joins me now on Loomer Unleashed to discuss what I'm calling Hude Santas and his efforts to prosecute the Florida Attorney General.

00:33:46.000 General James Uthmeyer and also the reason why he is calling for an investigation of fraud and alleged money laundering against Ron DeSantis and Casey DeSantis.

00:33:59.000 Representative Andrade, thanks so much for joining me tonight here on Loomer Unleashed.

00:34:02.000 How are you doing today?

00:34:04.000 I'm doing great.

00:34:05.000 Thanks for having me.

00:34:06.000 Of course, long day in committee, right?

00:34:08.000 So I really appreciate you joining me.

00:34:10.000 I know you've been very busy dealing with all this drama in the Florida legislature.

00:34:15.000 It's always so dramatic up there in Tallahassee.

00:34:19.000 There's a lot to talk about tonight.

00:34:22.000 You, as I said in the introduction to this interview, you were a really outspoken DeSantis supporter.

00:34:29.000 You assisted the governor with legislation as it related to going after Disney and all of the woke degeneracy that we saw with Disney supporting an assault on parental rights here in the great state of Florida.

00:34:43.000 You also...

00:34:44.000 Kind of, I guess, against your own will.

00:34:47.000 Kind of like a hostage.

00:34:48.000 You endorsed Ron DeSantis for president when he ran against President Donald Trump.

00:34:55.000 Although... You know, you didn't really get to do so according to your own will.

00:34:59.000 And now, even though you have been what many would call a DeSantis loyalist within the Florida legislature in Tallahassee, you are now being accused of being a traitor and a rhino and a saboteur by Governor Ron DeSantis and his attorney general.

00:35:17.000 I thought the attorney general was supposed to be, you know, a nonpartisan position here, but what do I know?

00:35:22.000 For calling out the fact that Casey DeSantis DeSantis received $10 million for her foundation, her charity, whatever you want to call it, and those funds were used in violation of the rules set forth within a charity,

00:35:38.000 501c3 rules.

00:35:40.000 You're not supposed to use those funds for political purposes to support the anti-marijuana amendments along with other legislative issues that her husband, Ron DeSantis, the current governor of Florida, wanted to support.

00:35:53.000 During this last election season in the 2024 election cycle, can you please break down the Hope Florida scandal and explain to the viewers tonight why all of a sudden you've gone from being a DeSantis loyalist to a so-called saboteur rhino?

00:36:12.000 Well, yeah.

00:36:14.000 So I'm the chair of the health care budget committee in the Florida House, meaning I oversee the health care funds that we spend.

00:36:21.000 It's about $35 billion of our $116 billion budget.

00:36:27.000 What we found out in the past two weeks is that ACA, the Agency for Healthcare Administration in Florida, which manages Medicaid in Florida, they entered into a settlement with a company called Centene, which is a Medicaid provider in the state with a multi-billion dollar contract with the state to administer Medicaid,

00:36:48.000 entered into a settlement for $67 million.

00:36:52.000 Over billing for prescriptions.

00:36:55.000 Instead of that money all coming back to the state, to our coffers and our bank account, someone in the governor's office had the bright idea to shave $10 million off of that settlement.

00:37:07.000 Say,"Hey, give the state $57 million and send the Hope Florida Foundation, Casey DeSantis' charity, $10 million of that settlement money." Again, these are Medicaid dollars.

00:37:20.000 DACA's got to report this settlement to CMS, the federal agency.

00:37:25.000 They've reported that they entered into a settlement for $67 million Medicaid dollars.

00:37:31.000 That $10 million went to the Hope Florida Foundation, and within days, it immediately got wired to two dark money groups, one connected to the Florida Chamber of Commerce and one connected to Drug Free America.

00:37:43.000 The second those two groups got that money, they turned around and wired it to James Uthmeyer's PAC.

00:37:49.000 It's called Keep Florida Clean.

00:37:53.000 Essentially, when DeSantis was looking for money to fight against the Amendment 3 campaign to legalize marijuana in Florida, someone in the governor's office had the brilliant idea to use Medicaid funds and send Medicaid funds to this PAC to fight against this amendment.

00:38:15.000 We now know that James Uthmeyer is the one that involved himself in the settlement with Aka and Centene, immediately reached out to these groups, told them to lie to the Hope Florida Foundation and promised the Hope Florida Foundation they wouldn't use it for political purposes,

00:38:31.000 got the Hope Florida Foundation chairman, Josh Hay, to wire this money without any oversight or approval from the board at the foundation, and then the governor's personal attorney, or one of the governor's attorneys named Jeff Aaron, Helped these two groups draft their letters of request and then bird-dogged the wire transfers.

00:38:51.000 And literally the day after these groups got this money, they wired it to James's PAC.

00:38:56.000 So I consider that wire fraud.

00:38:59.000 I consider that money laundering.

00:39:01.000 I think it's completely inappropriate.

00:39:03.000 I don't think our Attorney General James Uthmeyer could with a straight face right now prosecute anyone else for money laundering or wire fraud.

00:39:10.000 And I think that's a terrible position for the state to be in.

00:39:14.000 Well, I think it's also a really terrible position for the state to be in, given the fact that James Uthmeyer is still listed as the active chairman for Ron DeSantis' other PAC, the Florida Freedom Fund.

00:39:24.000 So I don't really understand how this guy can be the Attorney General of Florida when he hasn't even divested himself from the funds.

00:39:34.000 He signed the paperwork after the confirmation.

00:39:37.000 So he was sworn in as Attorney General.

00:39:41.000 I believe the date was February 17th.

00:39:46.000 We have the article up on the website.

00:39:48.000 Let's get it up on Loomer.com.

00:39:49.000 We published an article.

00:39:50.000 And then he sent the paperwork to the Florida Division of Elections three days after the fact.

00:39:56.000 So technically speaking, he didn't wait to divest himself.

00:40:01.000 From this PAC or take his name off of the paperwork as the chairman until he was officially sworn in, which is, you know, the complete reverse of how it's supposed to be done.

00:40:11.000 You're supposed to get rid of all of your conflicts, technically speaking, you know, before you're actually sworn in, because otherwise, you know, you are acting in an official capacity as a chief law enforcement officer here in the state of Florida on behalf of a partisan effort.

00:40:30.000 Or the governor of Florida.

00:40:32.000 And you're not supposed to do that.

00:40:33.000 You're supposed to be able to potentially prosecute the governor of Florida if the evidence suggests that the governor of Florida and his wife and his associates...

00:40:43.000 Carried out crimes.

00:40:45.000 Carried out crimes.

00:40:46.000 Carried out fraud.

00:40:47.000 Carried out money laundering.

00:40:49.000 Wire fraud, as you are alleging and accusing Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:40:53.000 And I will say that these are not just frivolous accusations.

00:40:57.000 There's a lot of evidence and documentation and hearings.

00:41:00.000 And I understand that you actually requested for there to be a hearing this week.

00:41:04.000 And now the governor's attorney is making all types of excuses for why he can't attend your hearing.

00:41:11.000 Can you...

00:41:12.000 Can you explain that?

00:41:13.000 Because I saw that that was kind of buried today amid the headlines.

00:41:16.000 But I think that people should know that Jeff Aaron, who is now making excuses for why he can't attend your upcoming hearing as it relates to this scandal this week, Jeff Aaron, who is the governor's attorney, is best friends with James Uthmeyer,

00:41:32.000 who was Ron DeSantis' campaign manager for the presidential primary against President Trump.

00:41:37.000 And then he was appointed by Ron DeSantis to be the Attorney General less than one month after he transferred $1 million of funds from the Florida Freedom Fund PAC, which is now being used as a secret slush fund to support Casey DeSantis' upcoming gubernatorial run here in the state of Florida,

00:41:59.000 very similar to the PAC shenanigans that Ron DeSantis...

00:42:04.000 Conducted and carried out when he decided to run for president, transferring funds from a state entity, Friends of Ron DeSantis, over to the federal Never Back Down Super PAC, a story that we broke here on Loomer Unleashed.

00:42:16.000 But I just find it to all be so salacious and so incestuous.

00:42:26.000 I mean, how do you have a lawyer representing the governor who is best friends with Well, the answer is you can't.

00:42:45.000 And going back to some of the things you mentioned about James Uthmeyer, the governor's kind of circle, especially during that presidential election, the primary, I mean, the governor's circle started dwindling to the point where he had to rely on his shrinking circle.

00:43:02.000 Not only to do his job as governor, but also to do a ton of work on the campaign.

00:43:07.000 I mean, there was no secret that James Uthmeyer was making campaign calls and pressuring people from the governor's office, from the plaza level here in the Capitol.

00:43:17.000 I mean, going so far as, I mean, yeah, I endorsed Governor DeSantis.

00:43:23.000 I would not have if I hadn't gotten multiple calls from the governor's office.

00:43:27.000 Reminding me the budget for that year's session hadn't been signed yet.

00:43:31.000 I'm a legislator.

00:43:32.000 I work on getting funds for my community.

00:43:35.000 That's one of the biggest responsibilities I have while I'm stuck here in Tallahassee during session.

00:43:40.000 So every time they reminded me the budget hadn't been signed yet by the governor, they were telling me,"Hey, your name is conspicuously off this endorsement list.

00:43:50.000 We haven't signed the budget yet." If I hadn't endorsed the governor, I guarantee you a ton of my projects would have been vetoed the same way.

00:43:59.000 Joe Grutter's projects were vetoed that year.

00:44:02.000 So I was stuck between, you know, doing a good job for my constituents in Pensacola in northwest Florida or just endorsing DeSantis.

00:44:10.000 And so it was it was kind of a tough position to be put in.

00:44:14.000 One of the funnier stories is like when DeSantis released that long list of the Republican legislators in Florida that endorsed them, it was alphabetical for the first like 90 some odd legislators.

00:44:25.000 And then there was like a handful of like 10 legislators.

00:44:29.000 The very bottom of this list that were not in alphabetical order.

00:44:32.000 And those were all the folks who literally endorsed the guy in the 11th hour just to keep their projects from getting vetoed.

00:44:38.000 So I figured I was in good company.

00:44:41.000 But no, I absolutely did not appreciate the way they conflated public service with DeSantis' political ambition.

00:44:49.000 What were some of the tactics that were utilized by Ron DeSantis' staff?

00:44:54.000 During the primary season to threaten lawmakers like yourself, because I remember when I was reporting on this and other people were reporting on it, Ron DeSantis said that this was fake news and that the media was lying and that this was Trump operatives trying to create a false image of the governor,

00:45:11.000 when in reality, Ron DeSantis operates Tallahassee like a mob boss and James Uthmeyer, who was working as...

00:45:20.000 He was working as the chief of staff for Ron DeSantis, but also working as his campaign manager.

00:45:25.000 Again, another violation because we saw that a lot of these DeSantis campaign operatives, including Christina Poushaw and Brian Griffin and a lot of these individuals who were working, Taryn Finsk is another one of these individuals, working in the governor's office.

00:45:40.000 They then found themselves...

00:45:42.000 You know, openly working with the super PAC, openly working with the campaign.

00:45:47.000 And it's like, there's supposed to be a 120-day, you know, freeze-out period between the campaign and the PAC.

00:45:53.000 And so the question was, how are these people simultaneously all working in the governor's office and then also working on the campaign and then also attending PAC events?

00:46:02.000 So it was just campaign finance violation.

00:46:05.000 After another.

00:46:07.000 And then, you know, constant gaslighting from the Ron DeSantis campaign.

00:46:11.000 And it seems like the FEC and also just the Florida legal apparatus as a whole gave him an excuse because I like to say Ron DeSantis' running mate was essentially Jack Smith.

00:46:23.000 I mean, there were so many... 0.99

00:46:26.000 So many people were hoping that Donald Trump was going to go to jail that they just didn't give a shit. 0.99

00:46:30.000 They just didn't give a shit about all these FEC violations that were out in the open. 0.99

00:46:34.000 I mean, literally threatening lawmakers. 0.97

00:46:36.000 We're going to cut your appropriations in the budget.

00:46:40.000 And we're going to make it look like you are a deficient or incompetent lawmaker, which is what they did to Joe Gruters, right?

00:46:49.000 They literally cut the funding in the budget for his district, and the only people who suffered were people in his district, some of whom were hurricane victims.

00:46:57.000 And they did this to try to retaliate against lawmakers who endorsed Ron DeSantis.

00:47:03.000 And so, while...

00:47:05.000 You know, I'm a fan of beating a lot of people up.

00:47:08.000 I'm a fan of verbally beating people up for being disloyal against President Trump and siding with DeSantis.

00:47:12.000 There were a lot of people, unfortunately, like yourself, who were literally forced into endorsing Ron DeSantis.

00:47:20.000 Well, and I know President Trump made that announcement pretty soon after that announcement that all these state legislators endorsed DeSantis, that we'd all been threatened.

00:47:30.000 He was spot on.

00:47:34.000 President Trump doesn't treat loyalty as only a one-way street.

00:47:38.000 I appreciate the fact that the Trump apparatus has always given some grace and understood the pressure we were put under by Governor DeSantis.

00:47:47.000 But what I would note is when you're looking at Governor DeSantis and his future ambitions at this point, when he came in as governor, his net worth was something like $300,000.

00:47:59.000 So he was not independently wealthy like Governor Scott.

00:48:03.000 He was not successful in his private life at all, like any other, like President Trump.

00:48:09.000 And because of that, he started treating over time all the financial assets of the state as his own personal assets.

00:48:18.000 He doesn't own a house other than the governor's mansion.

00:48:20.000 So in two years, he will be without a home.

00:48:24.000 He's not independently wealthy.

00:48:26.000 I think he's got some money from a book deal that he did a couple of years ago, but it's not some massive fund that he can live off of.

00:48:34.000 It's common knowledge around here that he uses the jet that the state provided the governor as kind of his own personal private jet.

00:48:43.000 He loves that jet.

00:48:45.000 I've heard from several sources in the governor's office that every time we talk about limiting his ability to use that private jet as he sees fit, he loses his mind.

00:48:56.000 And he uses that jet aggressively.

00:49:00.000 When we were having that fight over the immigration bills a few months ago, he used that jet to fly around the state and do campaign events against us.

00:49:09.000 I think he is looking down the barrel in a year and a half of not having a house, not being gameplay employed, and trying to figure out how to...

00:49:19.000 He used the jet to transport himself to campaign fundraisers when he ran for president.

00:49:25.000 Yeah. And he got caught using FDLE security guards and the governor's plane when he was running his shadow presidential campaign during his Florida Freedom Blueprint tour for his book tour,

00:49:41.000 which was just a way to, you know...

00:49:44.000 load up his own personal campaign, well, his own personal financial disclosure forms, because as you pointed out, he's essentially broke.

00:49:53.000 Ron DeSantis and Casey DeSantis are essentially welfare queens. 0.98

00:49:57.000 They don't know what it's like to...

00:50:01.000 Have a job outside of the federal government or state government, for that matter, and they don't know what it's like to even own a home because they don't own a home.

00:50:10.000 Ron DeSantis, when he was a member of Congress, was living in the condo of former Republican donor and alleged pedophile, Kent Sturman.

00:50:20.000 Ken Sturman, who was a big-time donor, and he organized fundraisers for a lot of people up in Jacksonville, up in Tallahassee.

00:50:28.000 He was Ron DeSantis' best friend, and Ken Sturman used to go and brag about how, oh, it's great to be best friends with Ron and Casey DeSantis, and Ron DeSantis was living in his condo when he was a no-name member of the United States Congress.

00:50:46.000 And then Ron DeSantis pretended like he didn't know who Ken Sturman was when he killed himself in the parking lot of a post office one day while he was under investigation for sexually assaulting a young girl and making sexual advances against a minor while his wife was dying from cancer.

00:51:04.000 The story goes, and we can get the story pulled up.

00:51:06.000 I mean, there was a really big Daily Mail story.

00:51:09.000 I know that I was one of the first people to speak about this openly during the Republican presidential primary, but this guy whose home Ron DeSantis was living in apparently bribed this young babysitter,

00:51:25.000 this 17-year-old girl, with Taylor Swift concert tickets as she lifted up her shirt and sent him photos of her boobs.

00:51:33.000 And this is who Ron DeSantis' best friend is.

00:51:38.000 It's kind of interesting, right?

00:51:40.000 Yeah. And going back to using assets of the state, there was one campaign report where James Uthmeyer was the number one fundraiser for DeSantis.

00:51:50.000 Imagine if Suzy Wiles was Donald Trump's number one campaign fundraiser. 1.00

00:51:54.000 It would be absurd.

00:51:55.000 Everybody would find that to be obscene.

00:51:58.000 And for whatever reason, Governor DeSantis was perfectly fine using his...

00:52:03.000 The public service staff, like his chief of staff and his office personnel, as campaign volunteers.

00:52:09.000 They all had to fly up to Iowa to go beg people for votes.

00:52:14.000 He pressured legislators to go up to Iowa as well.

00:52:18.000 He wouldn't have been caught dead up in Iowa for DeSantis.

00:52:23.000 He's not the type of person that engenders loyalty because he just takes from people around him.

00:52:29.000 And if you don't agree with him, then you're the devil.

00:52:34.000 You know, there's so many instances of that, but like, shoot, like to call me liberal, I passed the bill to ban DEI and higher education here in Florida.

00:52:42.000 I passed the bill to ban vaccinations by force here in Florida.

00:52:45.000 I've taken a ton of arrows for this guy defending his kind of, you know, wishy-washy policies on COVID initially.

00:52:52.000 I remember having to beg them to reopen.

00:52:55.000 During COVID, there's a lot of revisionist history that goes along with Governor DeSantis.

00:53:00.000 I mean, I remember his first legislative session in 2019, where he came out in support of smokable medical marijuana and wanted to frame himself as a big environmentalist.

00:53:13.000 So to see him now, he figured out some kind of weird lane.

00:53:17.000 To appeal to a small subset of Republicans, and he's just been hammering that lane ever since.

00:53:23.000 His personality has changed over time the longer he's been in the governor's office.

00:53:29.000 Seems like his whole facade of being, you know, the best governor in the nation and the governor of the free estate in the nation, it's all been one big facade.

00:53:38.000 And look, I tried blowing the whistle on this when he was running for president against President Trump. 0.99

00:53:43.000 And even before he filed, I was telling everybody, you know, hey, Governor Ron DeSantis is bullshit. 0.66

00:53:48.000 When I was running for Congress, he was on Fox News talking about how he was making it illegal in the state of Florida for them to deplatform candidates running for office. 0.94

00:53:58.000 Meanwhile, he didn't say. 0.98

00:53:58.000 I was literally the only candidate in the nation denied all access to social media when I decided to run for Congress, and he didn't say shit when President Trump was deplatformed. 0.98

00:54:09.000 In fact, after January 6th, Ron DeSantis invited the Capitol Police here to the state of Florida to hunt down Trump supporters, and so it's really interesting that he's now accusing you of being a saboteur and a rhino. 0.97

00:54:23.000 I want to go ahead and play this clip of Ron DeSantis getting very flustered.

00:54:27.000 He has no social skills.

00:54:30.000 There are some people in the Florida legislature who believe that the governor suffers from Asperger's syndrome.

00:54:38.000 I don't know if you want to comment on that.

00:54:40.000 You believe that would be true?

00:54:42.000 Yeah, I mean, like, the way he acts and everything, I've always just kind of thought he's probably undiagnosed but probably has something like Asperger's, yeah.

00:54:52.000 Yeah, there were articles about it, too, during the presidential campaign season.

00:54:56.000 And I'm not trying to poke fun at the governor for a disability or a condition that he may have.

00:55:03.000 There's a lot of people who are on the spectrum who have forms of autism, who are highly successful individuals.

00:55:09.000 But because the governor appears to display signs of Asperger's syndrome...

00:55:14.000 He has no social skills and he is not really able to communicate with people, which is why his campaign failed so miserably.

00:55:21.000 But also he becomes very flustered when he's publicly challenged and he doesn't have the charisma like Donald Trump does or, you know, a lot of these other lawmakers have to just brush it off when he's confronted.

00:55:33.000 And so we have a clip here.

00:55:35.000 It's about three minutes long of him being confronted about the Hope Florida scandal that...

00:55:40.000 You are now investigating, and I just want to go ahead and play this so that people can see the governor's deflection because, you know, here we have somebody who was called a DeSantis loyalist, right?

00:55:50.000 He loved you.

00:55:51.000 He loved you during the presidential campaign, and they came to you asking you for favors.

00:55:55.000 But now that you're not willing to make excuses for financial crimes, they are accusing you of essentially working with Democrats.

00:56:03.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

00:56:05.000 I want to say one thing.

00:56:09.000 You know, when you're in this business, you get used to a lot of baseless attacks.

00:56:16.000 That just goes with the territory.

00:56:18.000 But I do think it's really sad to see manufactured smears against the First Lady and the program that's Hope Florida.

00:56:27.000 Hope Florida is actually an example.

00:56:30.000 of government succeeding in lifting people up.

00:56:33.000 And how many examples do we have of that happening?

00:56:37.000 Almost never.

00:56:38.000 But the inside of Hope Florida didn't ask for any money for it for the legislature, didn't need any new policy, but just through the First Lady's initiative that we are going to reimagine the way we provide services to those in need.

00:56:53.000 And so instead of the job of somebody working in these agencies to just try to get people on as many government programs as possible and keep them on indefinitely, we're transforming the role to be a hope navigator where the job of government is to link those people in need to all the wonderful resources that we have throughout our Florida communities.

00:57:15.000 So we've enlisted the faith-based community, we've enlisted charitable organizations, we've enlisted businesses, and we've enlisted Individual volunteers who answer the call when somebody comes in need, the needs go into a care portal, and all of a sudden you have a single mom that doesn't have a place to stay.

00:57:33.000 It's not the bureaucracy that's going to lift her up.

00:57:36.000 It's the church that comes over or the charity that comes over to do that.

00:57:40.000 And what are the results since this has been implemented?

00:57:44.000 We've gotten 30,000 people off welfare and saved the state of Florida $100 million.

00:57:54.000 And so that's a great success story.

00:57:57.000 Now that's a success story that threatens some people.

00:58:00.000 That's a success story that's going to invite attacks because people have their own political agenda. 0.94

00:58:06.000 And I got to tell you, I'm used to the baseless smears from liberal media.

00:58:12.000 I'm used to the baseless smears from Democrats.

00:58:15.000 I've been dealing with it for over six years.

00:58:17.000 It's par for the course.

00:58:19.000 But I think now we have...

00:58:21.000 Republican leadership in the Florida House joining with liberal media and joining with Democrats to launch baseless smears against Hope Florida and, by extension, myself and the First Lady.

00:58:35.000 Let me tell you something.

00:58:37.000 None of these Republican leaders got elected.

00:58:41.000 On the platform that they were going to launch baseless attacks against the governor and first lady.

00:58:46.000 That is not why they got elected.

00:58:48.000 Had they run on that, they would have lost their primaries. 0.85

00:58:51.000 They would never have been elected in the first place.

00:58:54.000 No, they were elected to continue Our success in Florida to build off the great achievements of the last six years.

00:59:02.000 They were elected to cut property taxes, which they refused to do.

00:59:06.000 They were elected to help alleviate and end the condo crisis, which the Florida House has refused to do.

00:59:12.000 They were elected to continue.

00:59:15.000 Our Florida first agenda.

00:59:17.000 And what are they doing with their actions?

00:59:19.000 Not only are they trying to sabotage that agenda, but they are stabbing the voters in the back with their behavior.

00:59:27.000 Shame on you in the Florida House and your terrible behavior and leadership.

00:59:34.000 Questions? Yes.

00:59:37.000 So because you're not a drone and because you don't want to excuse corruption in your own political party, You are betraying the voters, Representative Andrade. 0.57

00:59:48.000 You are a traitor to the Republican Party and the people who voted for you because...

00:59:54.000 This is how Ron DeSantis operates in Tallahassee. 0.99

01:00:23.000 Do as I say or else.

01:00:25.000 And I think maybe beforehand when he had the media under his control and people were not awakened to how disloyal this man truly is and how corrupt he truly is and how he is so calculated and cunning and everything that he does from appointing his own Secretary of State,

01:00:47.000 Cord Byrd.

01:00:48.000 With the knowledge that Cord Bird would go ahead and change the Florida PAC laws for him so that he could transfer millions of dollars, over $80 million from his state PAC to the federal PAC to hand-selecting the Secretary of State.

01:01:05.000 And people believe that he bribed and actually had his fund send money to the former, or I guess current, Florida.

01:01:15.000 Former Speaker of the House in Florida, we have a new Speaker of the House, Danny Perez, who's since challenging Ron DeSantis.

01:01:22.000 But the former Speaker of the House and the Senate leader, the FEC records reveal that ahead of the Republican primary, they received hefty campaign contributions from Ron DeSantis's political entities.

01:01:36.000 And many people believe it was so that they would support him changing the resign to run law, something that applied to Congress.

01:01:50.000 But Ron DeSantis, of course, wants to have the best of both worlds.

01:01:54.000 He wants to run a presidential campaign on taxpayer dime, and he wants to receive the salary as the governor of Florida, which is why he hand-selects people who are going to do his bidding.

01:02:05.000 That's why he selected Cord Bird. 0.93

01:02:08.000 That is why he had Jeanette Nunez, another Trump hater who went around calling President Trump A member of the KKK and accusing him of being an anti-black racist.

01:02:19.000 That's why he's appointed James Uthmeyer.

01:02:22.000 So my question to you is, what's the next step?

01:02:25.000 Who's going to be referred for prosecution?

01:02:27.000 And do you think that Ron DeSantis should resign as governor of Florida?

01:02:33.000 Well, if the question about do I think DeSantis should resign is...

01:02:39.000 Do I want to be subjected to more of those whiny, toddler tantrum press conferences where I have to hear his accent? 1.00

01:02:46.000 I've always described his accent as a mix between New Jersey and toddler.

01:02:51.000 I'm just so fed up with hearing his whiny, nasally tone constantly.

01:03:00.000 It's like a very nasally voice and you're not going to get away with this.

01:03:04.000 And it appears to me that President Trump doesn't want to have free and fair elections.

01:03:09.000 Yeah, I mean, it's like the most annoying voice.

01:03:11.000 But don't get me started.

01:03:12.000 We had a competition between whose voice is more annoying between him and his wife, Jill, Casey.

01:03:17.000 I don't know.

01:03:18.000 I can't listen to her with her rants where she's like hyperventilating about how she... 0.99

01:03:23.000 Oh, my God.

01:03:24.000 And it's like therapy every single time I get to go to a campaign event with my husband because I can't stand being around my toddlers because it's so stressful being a mother of three young kids.

01:03:32.000 So thanks so much for having me here tonight because it's like therapy, right?

01:03:36.000 Every single time she talks, it's like she's almost like using the time to talk to the audience or whichever crowd she's speaking to as a form of therapy because it sounds like she can't even stand being around her own children.

01:03:51.000 Well, I'd rather he resign than have to be subjected to his nasally tone for another year and a half.

01:03:57.000 He's going to term out, obviously.

01:04:00.000 Obviously, he's so fixated on the Florida House right now.

01:04:05.000 He's welcome to run for the Florida House when he turns out, if he doesn't resign first, if he thinks he can do our job better.

01:04:12.000 But no, as far as who might be prosecuted, right now, I do believe that James Uthmeyer should be subject to a federal investigation and prosecution.

01:04:20.000 I believe that he directed $10 million of Medicaid money, that within two weeks of this settlement with Centene, $10 million was directed to this charity, then extracted immediately from this charity.

01:04:33.000 Then he got $8.5 million of those Medicaid dollars, sent to his own personal PAC.

01:04:39.000 The timing of that alone is damning.

01:04:44.000 And the fact that he was involved every step of the way is also damning.

01:04:48.000 So, no, I do believe James Usmeyer should be prosecuted by federal authorities and investigated by the FBI.

01:04:55.000 I haven't seen any direct contact with Casey on this.

01:05:01.000 I think the bad part for Casey specifically is that she's taken so much credit for Hope Florida.

01:05:10.000 That she's associated with all of Hope Florida's shortcomings, so she just looks incompetent. 0.95

01:05:17.000 She's welcome to run for governor still. 1.00

01:05:20.000 There's no prerequisite of competence for someone to file for governor, but she absolutely looks incompetent. 1.00

01:05:26.000 It's because it's her political baby.

01:05:29.000 She doesn't have any qualifications to become governor. 1.00

01:05:32.000 So they're trying to manufacture this make-believe charity and make it sound like it's saved so many people's lives here in the state of Florida and that it's done so much good so that they can manufacture a resume the same way that they manufactured a political resume for Ron DeSantis when he decided to run for...

01:05:51.000 I want to read to you a section from an exclusive report I released last week on my website, and I want to get your comments on it, because I believe that this warrants an investigation.

01:06:02.000 So as you mentioned before, Ron DeSantis' hand-picked AG, James Uthmeyer, who was his campaign manager for his presidential campaign against Trump, operated a PAC called Keep Florida Clean.

01:06:15.000 So the article that I released said, separately, Keep Florida Clean, Inc.

01:06:19.000 chaired by James Uthmeyer donated $1.1 million to the Florida Freedom Fund on December 12, 2024, followed by an additional $131,000 on February 4, 2025.

01:06:31.000 These contributions came after the 2024 election and shortly before Uthmeyer's appointment as Florida Attorney General, as announced by Ron DeSantis on January 16, 2025.

01:06:42.000 So, you know, the question I have is, if the elections are over and Ron DeSantis is termed out as governor, why is his PAC accepting so many contributions after the 2024 presidential election?

01:06:54.000 We were told that the Florida Freedom Fund needed these funds.

01:06:58.000 We know that Ron DeSantis doesn't support Randy.

01:07:00.000 And he didn't want to get involved in the race with Jimmy Petronas.

01:07:04.000 And so what exactly were these funds used for?

01:07:06.000 It's kind of strange that, you know, in an off political year, the governor is doing millions of dollars of political fundraising.

01:07:13.000 And I truly believe that the Florida Freedom Fund, which is Ron DeSantis' PAC, which is chaired by James Uthmeyer, It's going to be used as a slush fund for Casey DeSantis' gubernatorial run.

01:07:27.000 I want to continue.

01:07:28.000 These contributions came after the 2024 election and shortly before Uthmeyer's appointment as Florida Attorney General, announced by DeSantis on January 16th, 2025, right?

01:07:39.000 So people can imagine this.

01:07:40.000 The $1 million, $1.1 million was donated from Uthmeyer's one-pack Keep Florida Clean to Ron DeSantis on December 12th, okay?

01:07:49.000 Almost a month after, over a month after the presidential election.

01:07:53.000 And then additionally, another contribution on February 4th.

01:07:57.000 Then, Ron DeSantis announced his nomination of Uthmeyer on January 16th.

01:08:04.000 And then Uthmeyer was sworn in on February 17th.

01:08:08.000 So, about...

01:08:11.000 You know, 12 days or so before he was sworn in, he made sure to dump the rest of the money that was in Keep Florida Clean over to Ron DeSantis' other PAC.

01:08:22.000 But then he waited until three days after he was officially sworn in as the Attorney General of Florida to officially file paperwork with the Florida Division of Elections to disband as is seen by the form signed by Uthmeyer and received.

01:08:37.000 And of course...

01:08:39.000 They put a stamp that said vote no on three on the official paperwork for the Florida Division of Elections, which is kind of asinine given the fact that the election was already over and they already won as it related to that issue of defeating the marijuana lobby,

01:08:59.000 which is another ethics violation given the fact that Some of Ron DeSantis' biggest donors while he was trying to run this massive statewide campaign against Amendment 3 were people from the hemp industry who,

01:09:14.000 in addition to donating to Ron DeSantis, also supported James Uthmeyer's political entities.

01:09:21.000 And so it just seems like one big slush fund.

01:09:24.000 And what I want to know is, are you going to be doing an investigation into the Florida Freedom Fund as well and the ethics around Uthmeyer waiting until three days after he was officially sworn in as AG of Florida to disband the PAC that gave all of its money to Ron DeSantis?

01:09:45.000 So I would say yes if I was a federal prosecutor, right?

01:09:49.000 If I was an FBI agent, I'd say yes.

01:09:51.000 I'm just the healthcare budget chair.

01:09:53.000 So my jurisdiction, the only reason why all this stuff has come to light related to Hope Florida is because that's within my jurisdiction as the healthcare budget chair.

01:10:02.000 I think somebody absolutely should look into it.

01:10:05.000 The cavalier hubris that's being exhibited by the DeSantis camp on this stuff is kind of shocking.

01:10:13.000 I mean, James Uthmeyer all but admitted, yeah, you know, I did steer this $10 million in Medicaid money to my PAC, but hey, we won on Amendment 3, so it's all good.

01:10:23.000 You know, I did it for the kids.

01:10:24.000 I committed money laundering and wire fraud for the kids, so it's okay.

01:10:30.000 That's just indicative of the culture.

01:10:33.000 And Governor DeSantis is kind of shrinking, you know, inner circle.

01:10:37.000 So if I was able to catch on to this in the course of like two weeks of looking into it, absolutely.

01:10:44.000 I think that there's more there, more wrongdoing that they've committed.

01:10:49.000 It's just I'm not as the health care budget chair in the position to like really do that beyond the Hope Florida stuff.

01:10:57.000 I have talked to federal authorities.

01:10:59.000 I think they are looking into it.

01:11:02.000 You know, do have an official prosecution more than the Hope Florida stuff will be looked into.

01:11:08.000 And I sincerely hope that they do take it up because I'm convinced beyond all doubt that James Uthmeyer knew he was committing wire fraud and money laundering and just thought he was okay to do it.

01:11:20.000 Like, that's how they operate.

01:11:22.000 It's like, how dare you call me out on my misuse of taxpayer funds?

01:11:27.000 They're acting put out by the fact that State legislators are doing their job looking into their spending and also providing oversight.

01:11:36.000 There's a weird culture over here right now in the governor's office and I absolutely think it needs to be looked into.

01:11:43.000 Yeah, and it also extends down to the donor class as well.

01:11:47.000 Ron DeSantis doesn't just issue these retaliatory actions himself.

01:11:52.000 And also, a lot of people aren't aware of this, but Casey, his wife, has an office that is within the governor's office.

01:11:59.000 So a lot of people think that he's grooming her to become the next governor of Florida.

01:12:06.000 But that leads me to my next question.

01:12:09.000 I mean, you obviously believe that the DeSantis family stole $10 million from the citizens of Florida via James Uthmeyer, who they selected to be the new Attorney General of Florida.

01:12:24.000 What are your thoughts on this theory that's swirling around Tallahassee?

01:12:28.000 And have you actually heard this theory in Tallahassee that Ron DeSantis is being groomed to become the replacement for Pete Hegseth?

01:12:36.000 So a way for him to kind of dodge the accountability with this scandal that's brewing.

01:12:42.000 And if there is enough fervor in Washington, D.C. to actually remove Pete Hegseth in this deep state shadow campaign that seems to be taking place right now to attack him and remove him as defense secretary,

01:12:57.000 that Governor Ron DeSantis would then become the new defense secretary.

01:13:03.000 That would be a way for President Trump to negotiate Casey DeSantis standing down so that she doesn't launch a gubernatorial campaign against Congressman Byron Donald, who has officially filed to run for governor of Florida and has received President Trump's endorsement. 0.98

01:13:20.000 So I'll premise this by saying I have not endorsed Byron Donald.

01:13:25.000 I mean, when Matt Gaetz was up to become U.S. Attorney General, I was all in on Matt Gaetz then running for governor.

01:13:36.000 I'm still holding out some kind of weird hope that Matt Gaetz might reconsider and run for governor still, even though he says he's not interested right now.

01:13:46.000 So I don't really have a dog in the hunt related to who's the next governor of the state of Florida.

01:13:51.000 Right, but as it relates to this theory that Ron DeSantis is, regardless of who you support for governor of Florida, because there are some people that said, oh, you know, this isn't actually happening, but we have a tweet from Roger Stone today who quote tweeted my post, and he actually, we can get that tweet up on the screen,

01:14:07.000 and he actually said that his sources are telling him the same thing.

01:14:12.000 We'll get it pulled up on the screen and you can see it for yourself.

01:14:15.000 But apparently there's this whole plan in place to then make Joe Gruters the CFO of Florida, Byron Donalds the governor, and then he would be able to choose as the acting governor appointed by DeSantis his lieutenant governor, and then run with an incumbent protection or incumbent privilege.

01:14:31.000 Here we go.

01:14:32.000 We have this up on the screen here.

01:14:33.000 I'm hearing the same thing from my sources.

01:14:35.000 We can open up the tweet below.

01:14:37.000 Amid the deep state's efforts to fire P. Hegseth as defense secretary, Governor Ron DeSantis has pitched himself as a replacement to be defense secretary.

01:14:44.000 If this happens, he would likely make his wife his replacement as acting governor of Florida ahead of the 2026 Florida gubernatorial election so that she would have an incumbent privilege.

01:14:54.000 There has been a lot of speculation about making Casey DeSantis lieutenant governor of Florida, but these discussions were happening at the same time P. Hegseth's confirmation The hearing was taking place and Ron was lining up to be his replacement.

01:15:05.000 The position of Lieutenant Governor is currently vacant after FIU President Jeanette Nunez resigned in February.

01:15:10.000 She's the new FIU President, of course, to become the president of Florida International University.

01:15:16.000 Deep State going to deep state.

01:15:18.000 But now there's discussions.

01:15:20.000 Go ahead.

01:15:21.000 I want to let you go.

01:15:22.000 I think Ron DeSantis regrets not appointing himself to be U.S. Senator.

01:15:27.000 Instead of Ashley Moody. 1.00

01:15:30.000 Yeah. And so, no, I do think that he's been asking his circle to try and float this rumor about him becoming defense secretary because he is looking for an out.

01:15:40.000 Again, he has nowhere to live.

01:15:42.000 He does not own a house when he turns out in a year.

01:15:46.000 He doesn't have any kind of, like, I don't know what he would do other than, like, maybe, I don't know, go be a lawyer for a law firm or, like, go be part of some think tank up in D.C. Maybe he would serve on the board of Boeing.

01:15:59.000 Maybe he's such a war hawk.

01:16:02.000 He loves Ukraine so much.

01:16:04.000 Maybe he can go serve with his good buddy Adam Kinzinger.

01:16:08.000 Yeah, like Lockheed Martin or something.

01:16:10.000 Lockheed Martin, Boeing.

01:16:12.000 Yeah, I think he would float himself as defense secretary right now because, again, he's looking for a landing place when he turns out as governor.

01:16:22.000 I don't think he could appoint his wife to be I don't know why Trump would want to subject himself to Ron's accent either,

01:16:51.000 or the constant whining.

01:16:53.000 And my heart would go out to any staff over at the DOD if he got up there and they had to be subjected to that constant whining too.

01:17:00.000 But, you know, it's possible that President Trump could see this as an opportunity to structure his own state cabinet here in Florida of people that he believes in and supports.

01:17:13.000 He obviously supports Byron Donalds.

01:17:15.000 He obviously supports Joe Gruters.

01:17:18.000 So it's possible that he could set it up that way if he sees that opportunity.

01:17:22.000 One thing that I do know is Governor DeSantis has taken an idea of mine and tried to use it to ingratiate himself to President Trump, which is the concept of President Trump's library being built here in Florida.

01:17:36.000 So I sponsored a bill in the House and my friend Jason Broder sponsored it in the Senate to essentially say local governments couldn't interfere.

01:17:49.000 When President Trump wants to go place his presidential library somewhere here in the state of Florida, the idea being I don't want any kind of liberal zoning board in Palm Beach preventing President Trump from building his library where he wants and how he wants.

01:18:04.000 Apparently, Governor Sanchez has taken that and has been trying to talk to Trump about the idea of his presidential library coming here to Florida as a way to ingratiate himself to President Trump.

01:18:15.000 So maybe President Trump can cut a deal.

01:18:19.000 At the same time, block out the governor and CFO position in the state.

01:18:23.000 So, we'll see.

01:18:26.000 Yeah, it's definitely really interesting.

01:18:29.000 Another question that I have for you is, do you think that the Florida Chamber is complicit in all of this in an effort to carry out a pay-for-play in exchange for Floridians' rights under the guise of tort reform?

01:18:41.000 We know that Ron DeSantis, one of his big things was this whole concept of tort reform, which is just his way of helping his buddies in the insurance industry so that he could load up with millions of dollars in preparation for his presidential campaign against President Trump.

01:18:56.000 And then, of course, President Trump slammed Ron DeSantis for this during the primary, calling it the biggest insurance scam ever.

01:19:03.000 We're now seeing insurance scams like this play out in other places like South Carolina.

01:19:08.000 So what do you think about that?

01:19:11.000 Do you think that the Florida Chamber is complicit in Ron DeSantis' actions and his money laundering or alleged money laundering and just really the facade of transparency?

01:19:25.000 And strong leadership that he has projected onto the people of Florida during his time as governor of Florida.

01:19:34.000 Well, shoot.

01:19:35.000 I think the Florida Chamber, with their 501c4 Secure Florida's Future, were complicit and participated in the money laundering and wire fraud of this $10 million.

01:19:45.000 Mark Wilson is the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce.

01:19:47.000 He's one of the ones that sent those dishonest letters that extracted the $5 million grants from the Hope Florida Foundation.

01:19:54.000 He's shown no remorse and he's not shared any information with me about it.

01:19:59.000 He seems to think, you know, it was perfectly fine to commit this money laundering wire fraud.

01:20:04.000 So no, I absolutely think that they're participating, like the executives over the chamber with Governor DeSantis' kind of misdeeds to include like this one specific instance where $10 million in Medicaid money were illicitly transferred.

01:20:21.000 Antus.

01:20:30.000 Why do you think that Ron DeSantis decided to select an attorney, Jeff Aaron, who's best friends with his former campaign manager and now Attorney General James Uthmeyer?

01:20:42.000 Do you think that they coordinated this from the get-go as a way to run cover with each other?

01:20:48.000 Because I think it's really interesting.

01:20:51.000 Through this investigation, I've discovered that...

01:20:54.000 The attorney for Keep Florida Clean is the same attorney for Hope Florida, who's also the same attorney for Ron DeSantis?

01:21:03.000 Yeah. There were two attorneys, but Jeff Aaron is the governor's go-to attorney for a ton of stuff right now.

01:21:11.000 He was planted at the Hope Florida Foundation.

01:21:15.000 There's text messages where he was assisting these two groups to get this money from the Hope Florida Foundation.

01:21:24.000 You know, he got them to send those letters to the foundation.

01:21:27.000 He, like, bird-dogged the wire transfer.

01:21:31.000 Meaning, like, he was texting with these Greeks and asking them,"Have you got the money yet?" And literally, the next day after he confirmed that he got the money, the money was wired to James Uthmeyer's PAC.

01:21:41.000 So, no, I absolutely believe that Jeff Aaron and James Uthmeyer conspired to do this.

01:21:48.000 Would you encourage people who donated to any of these groups who have now discovered that their money has been given to Ron DeSantis' other entities, including his Florida Freedom Fund, which is now, as we discussed earlier, being used as a slush fund in preparation to support Casey DeSantis' gubernatorial campaign.

01:22:09.000 Would you encourage people who gave money to these entities to band together to file a class-action lawsuit?

01:22:18.000 I don't know what folks who donated to Keep Florida Clean would have a claim on.

01:22:21.000 I would encourage the Hope Florida Foundation to act like they've been defrauded of $10 million because they have.

01:22:27.000 I think that the Hope Florida Foundation's 501 status is in question next year.

01:22:34.000 There's no way that they can justify this transfer of these funds knowing they went to a PAC and still maintain their 501 status.

01:22:42.000 So if I were advising folks as a lawyer to a client, I would absolutely tell the Hope Florida Foundation they have to sue this chamber entity and this other entity to get their money back.

01:22:54.000 Otherwise, it looks like they're also complicit in the fraud and the money laundering.

01:22:59.000 How can the taxpayers get their money back?

01:23:04.000 In this circumstance, unfortunately, I don't think that there's a way to get their money back.

01:23:09.000 James Uthmeyer has already spent it.

01:23:12.000 Or Governor Sances has already spent it.

01:23:16.000 The only way for Hope Florida to get it back is to file suit against these 501C4s, but I'm willing to bet neither of them have any more money in their accounts at the moment. 0.97

01:23:26.000 I know you said that you're calling on federal investigators to investigate this matter.

01:23:31.000 What would you say to Attorney General Pam Bondi or FBI Director Cash Patel if they were here with us today?

01:23:39.000 That Florida's Attorney General committed money laundering and wire fraud, and I hope that they would Would pursue that for the money laundering and wire fraud that it is.

01:23:48.000 I mean, this is public corruption at its grossest.

01:23:52.000 Do you think that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel should issue a statement about this?

01:23:58.000 I mean, I know that Pam Bondi, of course, herself was the former Florida Attorney General, and now this directly involves Ron DeSantis' hand-selected candidate for the Florida Attorney General.

01:24:10.000 But what do you think it's going to take to get somebody like Pam Bondi To issue a statement. 0.99

01:24:16.000 I like to call her Blondie.

01:24:17.000 But what can we do to get Blondie to issue a statement about this?

01:24:21.000 Maybe we can get her booked on Fox News.

01:24:22.000 We gotta do something to get more action from the DOJ on this because, you know, look, there seems to be this issue or this resistance within the Republican Party, which is why I wanted to have you on my program tonight because so many Republicans are so afraid to call out other Republicans who commit crimes or other Republicans who are involved in wrongdoing.

01:24:42.000 And so...

01:24:43.000 Why is this?

01:24:44.000 Do you think that they're protecting him on a federal level?

01:24:47.000 Do you think that we can expect to see any type of accountability? 0.98

01:24:50.000 Or do you think that this is just going to be another year of Ron DeSantis gaslighting Florida citizens and Florida lawmakers accusing solid Republican representatives of being rhinos for asking questions about where the damn money went? 0.96

01:25:06.000 All of this information has come out in the past week. 0.93

01:25:08.000 I don't blame the Department of Justice for not You know, making a statement on it already.

01:25:15.000 I mean, federal investigations take time.

01:25:17.000 So, I mean, this is all literally coming out in real time in these, like, state house subcommittee meetings.

01:25:25.000 So, no, unless, like, an FBI agent's there taking notes and collecting documents right as we're talking about it, I wouldn't blame them for not being fully aware of what's going on yet.

01:25:36.000 I can tell you that they're becoming aware.

01:25:38.000 They're looking into it.

01:25:40.000 But no, I don't blame them for not giving a statement yet.

01:25:43.000 I would say in a month, if a statement hasn't been made, they're probably resting on their laurels and thinking hard about whether or not they want to prosecute a Republican.

01:25:54.000 But at this point, I just think this is brand new information that's been coming out in real time in the past week and a half.

01:26:01.000 What can you tell us about your upcoming hearing?

01:26:04.000 There was an article that came out today in Florida Politics.

01:26:07.000 I'm looking at it right now.

01:26:08.000 Hope Florida Council can't make Thursday hearing.

01:26:11.000 Alex Andrade wants a special Friday hearing to question him.

01:26:16.000 Why can the governor's attorney not make your hearing?

01:26:21.000 So, in the Florida legislature, we publish our committee schedules a week in advance, essentially.

01:26:26.000 So, on Friday, not a week, but several days in advance.

01:26:29.000 So, on Friday last week, we published our schedule.

01:26:32.000 It showed that I had a block of time on Thursday from 8 a.m. to 12 to have my committee meeting this week, where I intended to have Jeff Aaron, the lawyer, Mark Wilson from the chamber.

01:26:45.000 And Amy Rosenhausen from Drug Free America or Save Our Society from Drugs come and explain themselves and their actions and talk about exactly what happened, who they connected with and everything like that.

01:26:58.000 Jeff Aaron, after my schedule was published and what looked to me to be like an attempt to act like you're being transparent, emailed me and said, hey, I'm more than happy to testify.

01:27:09.000 But I'm not available on Thursday, but I'm more than happy to do it on Wednesday or Friday, like after my schedule was out.

01:27:16.000 So thankfully, I asked the speaker to give me a second block of time on Friday this week, and he did.

01:27:24.000 So I will have an extra special meeting to accommodate Jeff Aaron's busy schedule on Friday, and I expect him to attend and explain himself.

01:27:34.000 What documents have you requested ahead of this hearing from Hope Florida?

01:27:39.000 Sentine, Jeff Aaron, and Casey and Ron DeSantis.

01:27:44.000 Bank records, communications about the settlement, communications about the wire transfers, all emails, all documents related to the settlement negotiation with Sentine, you know, text messages, contracts, anything like that.

01:27:58.000 I expect to get a lot of documents tomorrow from certain specific individuals who...

01:28:05.000 Or have been willing to participate and don't want to appear like they're complicit in this fraud.

01:28:10.000 I haven't gotten anything from a state agency yet.

01:28:13.000 So I'll be curious to see if I get anything from these state agencies that are technically supposed to be, you know, partners in public service here in the state.

01:28:22.000 They also have public records requirements that I sincerely hope they comply with.

01:28:27.000 But yeah, I mean, imagine right now me asking the attorney general's office.

01:28:31.000 For documents related to the settlement.

01:28:33.000 And imagine how quickly you think James Uthmeyer is going to get right on that to help provide those documents to me.

01:28:44.000 It's just shocking.

01:28:45.000 I think it's absolutely shocking that this guy was this close to potentially becoming the Republican nominee for president.

01:28:55.000 The deep state and all of the rhinos who wanted Donald Trump to be jailed got their way. 0.85

01:29:00.000 It's just so shocking.

01:29:01.000 This is the type of behavior that you would expect from Democrats, right?

01:29:06.000 The acts of money laundering, wire fraud, lying, you know, appointing your close associates to be in positions of power and appointing them so that they can do your bidding and cover up your dirty work.

01:29:21.000 Well, yeah, I mean, so I would look at Ron DeSantis' lifestyle as far more similar to Joe Biden's than President Trump's, right?

01:29:30.000 I mean, Joe Biden was a career government employee, a career politician.

01:29:34.000 Ron DeSantis has been the same.

01:29:36.000 Neither of these people have any sources of funds outside of their public offices, and so their lifestyles look very similar.

01:29:44.000 That's why you see these kind of abuses and overuses of taxpayer dollars for personal lifestyle activities.

01:29:51.000 And it's not shocking to me to see it

01:29:56.000 What do you think it's going to take for more Florida lawmakers to publicly start calling for Ron DeSantis' resignation?

01:30:10.000 It's a good question.

01:30:13.000 I know you said that you prefer James Uthmeyer for prosecution, but do you think that this scandal warrants Ron DeSantis' resignation?

01:30:26.000 On his face, I don't have any information saying Ron DeSantis was super active in any of this.

01:30:33.000 I think in reality, my assumption would be that the only...

01:30:37.000 Activity Ron DeSantis had directly on this was when James Uthmeyer wanted to get an attaboy from the governor and say,"Look how good the job I did.

01:30:45.000 Got you 10 million in Medicaid funds to the campaign." So I wouldn't say I'm calling for the governor's resignation right now.

01:30:55.000 I would just say I'm calling for the governor to do a better damn job in his last year and a half, right? 0.58

01:31:00.000 I mean, this 10 million is not the only 10 million dollars that was wasted by this individual agency. 0.91

01:31:06.000 You know, three weeks ago, we were talking about how ACA just misplaced $160 million.

01:31:12.000 We gave them $160 million to pay a federal fine, and they essentially put it in the wrong bank account and used it as cash flow instead.

01:31:19.000 So now we're faced with the fact that we have to give them another $160 million to pay the same darn federal fine they were supposed to pay three years ago.

01:31:31.000 Every time people think about Governor DeSantis and his celebratory press conferences, They're almost always associated with bill signings.

01:31:40.000 It's very evident to me at this point that Governor DeSantis might have been a great legislator.

01:31:45.000 He's a terrible governor.

01:31:48.000 And he thinks like a legislator. 0.97

01:31:50.000 He acts like a legislator.

01:31:51.000 He does not think or act like a true manager.

01:31:54.000 He treats his office the way a legislator would necessarily potentially treat their office.

01:31:59.000 He's not acting like a manager.

01:32:02.000 And some of these failures would have never happened.

01:32:04.000 If Senator Scott was still in the governor's office, Senator Scott was an incredible executive, an incredible manager.

01:32:10.000 That's why I always laugh when people say Ron DeSantis is the best governor.

01:32:14.000 I'm like, then you haven't lived in Florida under Governor Rick Scott, because Governor Rick Scott was a phenomenal governor.

01:32:20.000 And for full disclosure, when I was in college, I was the president of College Republicans.

01:32:24.000 I did some work for Governor Rick Scott, and I worked with the Republican Party of Florida.

01:32:30.000 And I'll tell you.

01:32:31.000 I was just a nobody college student, you know, as the president of College Republicans.

01:32:36.000 And every single time that man saw my face, he would say, Laura, great to see you again.

01:32:40.000 And I was just so stunned that he remembered my name.

01:32:43.000 And every single time I would see the governor, I have no idea how he got my address.

01:32:46.000 But I guess, you know, as the governor of Florida, you can get anybody's address if you live in the state of Florida.

01:32:52.000 But he would get my address no matter where I lived, and he would send me handwritten thank you notes.

01:32:57.000 I still have those thank you notes.

01:32:58.000 I save them because they're important to me.

01:33:01.000 But he really actually had the people skills.

01:33:05.000 That's something that Ron DeSantis severely lacks, and I think he was a phenomenal governor.

01:33:11.000 I would say that he was ten times the governor that Ron DeSantis wishes he could be.

01:33:17.000 Yeah, and he's far less of a career politician than DeSantis.

01:33:21.000 He obviously had a very successful business career.

01:33:23.000 He's got an independent perspective outside of government employment that I think makes him an even better public servant.

01:33:31.000 And no, to your point, he sends signed birthday cards to my two-year-old daughter.

01:33:41.000 He's a great, great public servant.

01:33:45.000 Proud to have him as my U.S. Senator for the state of Florida.

01:33:49.000 Yeah, me too.

01:33:50.000 I think he does a fantastic job.

01:33:53.000 One other thing I want to say.

01:33:54.000 I'm sorry, let me keep it up.

01:33:56.000 Say that again?

01:33:58.000 Where'd you go to college?

01:33:59.000 I'm sorry, I don't know this.

01:34:00.000 Oh, I went to Barrie University.

01:34:01.000 So I did a semester first at Mount Holyoke, and it was a women's school.

01:34:06.000 And, you know, when I was, I went to boarding school, and I was always told, oh, you know, you have to go to the most elite school.

01:34:13.000 And so I was waitlisted at Dartmouth, and I was, like, heartbroken over the fact that I couldn't go to Dartmouth.

01:34:18.000 And I had my choice between all these different schools.

01:34:21.000 I applied to a lot of liberal arts colleges on the East Coast.

01:34:25.000 And I was kind of naive, you know, when I was in boarding school thinking, oh, you know, I have to go to the most expensive liberal arts school on the East Coast or else no one's going to take me seriously.

01:34:35.000 And I did a semester at Mount Holyoke, which was considered Harvard for women back in the day when Harvard was all male.

01:34:42.000 And I excelled.

01:34:43.000 I did.

01:34:43.000 Phenomenal. You know, I had a 4.0 GPA.

01:34:45.000 It wasn't the issue.

01:34:46.000 But I was miserable.

01:34:48.000 I literally ate every single meal by myself.

01:34:50.000 I was surrounded by hostile teachers, hostile professors.

01:34:55.000 And, you know, in my dormitory, I just felt like I didn't have any friends.

01:34:58.000 And everybody there was so radical.

01:35:00.000 It was such a radical campus.

01:35:02.000 And everybody was a liberal.

01:35:03.000 And I just, I hated it so much.

01:35:06.000 And I was so depressed that...

01:35:08.000 I just decided that I was going to transfer literally after one semester.

01:35:12.000 I didn't even finish a whole year, so I just transferred to...

01:35:17.000 I would have had to take an entire gap semester if I didn't go to a school that I had already applied to.

01:35:22.000 And I applied to Barry as a safety school.

01:35:23.000 And I thought, whatever, you know, it's Miami.

01:35:26.000 How bad could it be?

01:35:27.000 And I wanted to, you know, work and be involved in a Republican club.

01:35:32.000 So I resurrected the College Republican Club at Barry University.

01:35:34.000 And I started doing work for the Republican Party of Florida.

01:35:38.000 And, you know, it worked out pretty well.

01:35:40.000 I made it one of the most successful college Republican clubs in the state of Florida.

01:35:47.000 That's awesome.

01:35:48.000 It sounds like you're progressively moving north in the state like I am.

01:35:53.000 I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and now I'm on the opposite end of the state over in Pensacola.

01:35:59.000 I keep on moving up the state, right?

01:36:01.000 I ran for Congress on Palm Beach and lived in the villages.

01:36:07.000 I really like Florida and that's why I always laugh when people say, oh, Ron DeSantis is so great.

01:36:12.000 Florida would be awful without him.

01:36:14.000 Personally, I feel like my Quality of life was better under Rick Scott.

01:36:21.000 I mean, I'm just comparing my standard of living.

01:36:24.000 Obviously, I was a college student then, but in terms of the cost of living, I feel like it's only increased.

01:36:32.000 I just don't really see the appeal.

01:36:35.000 I've never seen the appeal in Ron DeSantis.

01:36:38.000 I got in trouble when I was running for Congress as a Republican in the villages making comments like this and people would freak out because it was the first time they ever heard anybody and it was very taboo to speak out about Governor Ron DeSantis and it still was during the Republican primary and now a lot of people are starting to see these scandals for what they are.

01:36:59.000 One of the last things I want to ask you before you go because you've been very gracious and generous with your time tonight.

01:37:04.000 You know, this isn't the only scandal that we've seen here in the state of Florida as it relates to Ron DeSantis' legislative session.

01:37:11.000 We've had several scandals involving Ron DeSantis' session, including the Buried Insurance Profit Report and the new Speaker of the House.

01:37:21.000 has been very brave in calling this out and calling out Ron DeSantis'insurance scam and asking why this report was buried.

01:37:30.000 And now we also have the $10 million donation to Casey's group, Hope Florida.

01:37:37.000 Are there any other scandals that you're aware of that maybe the media,

01:37:41.000 I mean, of course, from the scandal of...

01:37:49.000 Collecting an entire year's worth of salary as governor of Florida while ditching the entire state to go run for president.

01:37:57.000 Have you heard about the 2,000 missing cars?

01:38:00.000 I have not.

01:38:01.000 What is this story?

01:38:02.000 You're dropping bombs on my show.

01:38:04.000 Let's hear about this scandal.

01:38:06.000 So, similar to how they just misplaced $160 million in their bank account and used as cash flow, in another state agency, They're supposed to be essentially like the HR department agency for the entire state.

01:38:27.000 And they're also supposed to keep track of all the state's assets, like their land property and personal property.

01:38:35.000 When we asked them,"Hey, can you provide us an inventory of all the state's vehicles?" They could not provide information or the locations of over 2000 state-owned vehicles.

01:38:46.000 So imagine right now, Even a small percentage of that having been stolen or misused by a state employer just walked off the job.

01:38:55.000 We have 2,000 unaccounted for cars in the state that they just can't tell us where they are.

01:39:01.000 And they've pretty much told us they have no intent on getting us that information before the end of session.

01:39:07.000 They don't seem to care or see the problem with that.

01:39:10.000 So these are state workers using vehicles that are essentially state vehicles, and now they're using these state vehicles as their personal vehicles?

01:39:17.000 Sounds a lot like what Ron DeSantis does.

01:39:19.000 You know, he doesn't have a car, he doesn't have a house.

01:39:21.000 That's what he does.

01:39:22.000 He uses state vehicles for his own personal transportation.

01:39:26.000 He's been caught doing this multiple times.

01:39:28.000 Yeah, and when they essentially refused to provide all this information, we told the secretary for DMS,"Hey, we're going to withhold your salary until you actually do what we told you to do and give us this information." He responded and said,"I'll just wait you guys out and get my salary and back pay.

01:39:47.000 I'll just wait until you guys are gone and get my salary and back pay." That's how brazen and cavalier they are with 2,000 missing state vehicles.

01:39:55.000 This is state property.

01:39:57.000 Millions of dollars worth of state property.

01:39:59.000 And we have a state agency.

01:40:01.000 What kind of cars are we talking about?

01:40:03.000 Are we talking about big black SUVs?

01:40:06.000 What kind of vehicles are these?

01:40:08.000 They run the gamut, and it's across multiple state agencies.

01:40:12.000 But I cannot imagine running a business and not knowing where 2,000 vehicles are located.

01:40:19.000 Yeah, I'm assuming at some point we're going to discover that several have been stolen or gone missing.

01:40:25.000 Or at least gone home with state employees that may have left the job or been fired.

01:40:31.000 We also had, you know, pay raises given to positions that don't have employees in them.

01:40:38.000 Like Governor DeSantis has asked us to give pay raises to these jobs that don't represent an actual employee.

01:40:45.000 It's like you want to get a doge here in the state of Florida.

01:40:48.000 We need to get Elon Musk down here to actually doge DeSantis and his operation because there's so much fraud, waste and abuse.

01:40:56.000 What do you think about James Uthmeyer using high-profile cases as a way to distract from his own unethical behavior as the DeSantis-appointed AG?

01:41:09.000 For example, his random state investigation into the Tate brothers upon their arrival in the state of Florida, and then additionally...

01:41:19.000 The announcement six months after the fact that they were finally going to be charging Ryan Routh, the man who was arrested outside of President Trump's West Palm Beach Golf Club, with a rifle after he attempted to assassinate the president.

01:41:34.000 Do you think there should be an investigation into Uthmeyer's abuse of power as well?

01:41:39.000 I mean, a lot of people want to know how he can...

01:41:42.000 You know, investigate the Tate brothers, you know, given the jurisdiction, they were simply just visiting the state of Florida, having meetings in Miami, South Florida.

01:41:53.000 I understand that there was individuals in the Trump administration who allegedly helped them get into the United States of America.

01:42:00.000 And then additionally, it just seems very bizarre that it would take James Uthmeyer and Ron DeSantis six months to finally announce charges for Ryan Routh, the man who tried to assassinate President Trump.

01:42:12.000 It just almost seems like they're trying to use the high-profile news cycle events to mask their scandals.

01:42:18.000 Thoughts on that?

01:42:19.000 There's no question that the Tate Brothers commentary was politically motivated.

01:42:27.000 I don't know and I cannot see any type of jurisdictional nexus between the state of Florida and what they've been accused of outside of the country.

01:42:36.000 In Romania.

01:42:37.000 It just doesn't make any sense.

01:42:39.000 So, yeah, there's no question that James Uthmeyer was just attention-headline-grabbing when he was saying that stuff.

01:42:45.000 I cannot possibly see, unless somehow they can say that they try to, like, lure someone from Florida specifically, but there's no evidence of that.

01:42:54.000 There's nothing I've seen that relates to that.

01:42:57.000 And so for James to kind of do that, that kind of grossed me out.

01:43:03.000 But no, I mean, this is a guy that was... 0.93

01:43:05.000 Well, it's also hypocritical, right? 0.99

01:43:07.000 It's hypocritical given the fact that Ron DeSantis' best friend is a pedophile. 0.99

01:43:11.000 Ken Sturman. 0.97

01:43:12.000 I mean, you want to go after the Tate brothers and accuse them of sex crimes, but Ron DeSantis still hasn't provided an explanation as to why he lived in a pedophile's home.

01:43:23.000 Yeah. I think it's a little strange.

01:43:27.000 Don't you think it's a little strange?

01:43:28.000 A lot of people don't know this about Ron DeSantis, but it is a fact that when he was...

01:43:34.000 A member of Congress, he was living in the home of Kent Sturman, who, you can pull in that Daily Mail article again, was under investigation for sex crimes with a minor before he decided to blow his brains out.

01:43:45.000 Maybe he just couldn't handle the pressure.

01:43:47.000 Some people believe that he may have actually been murdered, too, as a way to, you know, silence controversy ahead of the presidential primary.

01:43:55.000 But Sturman with an O in.

01:43:57.000 I don't know much about the Sturman stuff, but I do know that he was under investigation.

01:44:01.000 I know those circumstances.

01:44:06.000 There's a Daily Mail article, if you type in Kent Sturman.

01:44:12.000 We'll get it pulled up right now and you can see the allegations.

01:44:17.000 I just can't wait to see the first time that James Uthmeyer tries to prosecute anyone for money laundering and wire fraud.

01:44:24.000 I just cannot wait to see him try with a straight face, say that someone should go to prison for money laundering and wire fraud.

01:44:32.000 Given what I know about what he did in this circumstance with Medicaid money.

01:44:37.000 Well, it seems like there's a lot of hypocrisy.

01:44:39.000 We have the article now pulled up.

01:44:40.000 Let's go ahead and go through this.

01:44:42.000 It's just really interesting.

01:44:44.000 They tried to get all of this attention with the Tate brothers.

01:44:47.000 Exclusive prominent DeSantis ally, it was his actual best friend, who shot himself dead last year, was under investigation for using sold-out Taylor Swift tickets to lure Teen to his office and show him her breasts.

01:45:01.000 We have never heard a statement from Ron or Casey DeSantis about this situation, and I just find it to be hypocritical, because as you said, right, whether it's money laundering, wire fraud, or accusing high-profile people who support President Trump and are visiting the state of Florida of sex crimes.

01:45:19.000 It just seems like everything that Ron DeSantis is accusing other people of, he or his political allies and associates are the ones that are guilty of it. 0.59

01:45:27.000 And this little pedophile scandal is a perfect example.

01:45:31.000 Yeah, I mean, he's definitely associated with, like, the rules for the Yubinah for Mikrel.

01:45:38.000 Yeah, we have to do something about that because I think that we run the risk of actually getting a Democrat governor in the state of Florida if Republican corruption is allowed to go take place and be rampant in the Florida legislature without pushback from legislators like yourself because people are going to think,

01:45:58.000 wow, these Republicans really are corrupt and so maybe I should vote Democrat.

01:46:02.000 And I'm not encouraging people to vote Democrat, but I've always said that...

01:46:06.000 You know, whoever decides to run for governor in 2026 was going to be burdened with the corrupt actions in the aftermath of the corrupt activity that took place during the Ron DeSantis administration.

01:46:17.000 For example, the insurance crisis, right?

01:46:19.000 That is something that impacts people.

01:46:22.000 It's a really serious matter.

01:46:23.000 People are losing their homes.

01:46:25.000 People are not able to retire and live here in the state of Florida.

01:46:28.000 People who are living paycheck to paycheck or on Social Security are not seeing...

01:46:34.000 You know, a shift in their Social Security payments as it relates to the increasing cost of living here in the state of Florida as a result of Ron DeSantis' absurd and corrupt tort reform.

01:46:45.000 And so I think that people like you need to be applauded.

01:46:50.000 Four, taking people in your own party on and challenging them and holding them accountable for their corruption and their alleged crimes.

01:46:57.000 Because if we don't take the trash out in our own party, how can we tell voters to vote for us so we can take the trash out on the other side of the aisle?

01:47:05.000 And what I can tell you is Governor DeSantis, during my committee meeting last week, scheduled a press conference in my home district, in my district, for the exact same time and tried to make it for the exact same length as my committee meeting.

01:47:19.000 And I have gotten nothing.

01:47:21.000 In that press conference he did in my district last week when I was over here doing work, doing my job, he trashed me and trashed everything we're doing in the legislature.

01:47:33.000 And in response, I've gotten nothing but support from Republicans in my home district.

01:47:38.000 Everybody wants to know exactly why they took this money and used it for political purposes.

01:47:43.000 They treated taxpayer money like their own personal piggy bank.

01:47:46.000 Everyone's offended by it.

01:47:48.000 And I've got nothing but encouragement from local Republicans to keep doing what I'm doing.

01:47:51.000 So I do think there's a sea change right now where people are seeing Ron DeSantis more and more for what he actually is.

01:47:58.000 And I think the more temper tantrums he throws as we're going through this process, the less and less relevant he becomes.

01:48:06.000 Absolutely. Any last comments or thoughts or any upcoming announcements that you want to share with my viewers before you depart this evening?

01:48:16.000 I know that you've already said that you are encouraging the prosecution of James Uthmeyer.

01:48:23.000 You think that Pan Bondi and Kash Patel should get involved in this matter to have a federal investigation into this alleged wire fraud and money laundering.

01:48:31.000 Anything else you want the viewers to know?

01:48:34.000 How can the viewers watching tonight Many of whom are very familiar with Ron DeSantis' corruption because it's a subject we cover extensively here and have been since the inception of the show.

01:48:46.000 I believe the very first episode of Loomer Unleashed was actually dedicated to covering Ron DeSantis' efforts changing the Florida Resigned to Run law.

01:48:57.000 So really, this program was essentially born and created out of exposing Ron DeSantis' crimes and his corruption, when you think about it.

01:49:06.000 Anything else you want people to know or how they can help you in your efforts in holding him accountable?

01:49:12.000 I know that the Florida legislature is coming to an end.

01:49:15.000 There's about, what, one or two more weeks left?

01:49:17.000 Maybe there's going to be an extension.

01:49:19.000 But what can viewers do to assist you in making sure Ron DeSantis and James Uthmeyer do not get away with it?

01:49:26.000 Well, if by some bizarre circumstance James Uthmeyer stays out of prosecution, avoids prosecution, And is on the ballot next fall.

01:49:36.000 I just want folks to remember, this is the guy that treated Medicaid money like his own personal piggy bank and committed money laundering and wire fraud in the process and justifies it by saying, you know, Amendment 3 failed, so all my money laundering and wire fraud activities are justified.

01:49:52.000 We do not want people like that in positions like the Florida Attorney General.

01:49:57.000 So keep that in mind.

01:50:00.000 If you have the opportunity, tell your friends and colleagues, tell your neighbors about the truth about what's going on up here in Tallahassee because DeSantis will do everything in his power to mislead and deflect from what's actually going on.

01:50:13.000 So don't let people get away with being intellectually lazy and just listening to soundbites.

01:50:19.000 Look into what's actually going on because it's very simple, the reality of the situation.

01:50:25.000 And that's, you know, I'm a guy not running for future office.

01:50:29.000 Literally going home when I term out next year.

01:50:33.000 I'm just livid.

01:50:34.000 I was just livid when I discovered that James Uthmeyer treated Medicaid money like his own personal piggy bank and is now, like, brushing it off like it was no big deal.

01:50:46.000 That offends me.

01:50:47.000 It should offend any conservative Republican.

01:50:50.000 shoot it should offend any American who cares about how their taxpayer dollars be you

01:50:58.000 you Thank you.

01:51:04.000 His screen appears to have frozen momentarily, so perhaps he needs to reconnect.

01:51:09.000 I don't know what happened exactly.

01:51:14.000 Anyway, in the meantime, while we're waiting for him to reconnect or figure out what happened with his screen...

01:51:20.000 You know, this is a serious issue.

01:51:21.000 This is a serious issue.

01:51:23.000 And this is where you see who's just a sycophant or who's a pure partisan and who actually is fighting for the people and is fighting for the truth.

01:51:31.000 And, you know, Representative Andrade is a GOP representative.

01:51:35.000 He represents portions of Escambia County and Santa Rosa County as well and in Florida's 2nd District.

01:51:44.000 And it's a pretty red area.

01:51:47.000 And yet he's challenging the Republican governor of Florida and the Republican appointed attorney general of Florida at a time when, you know, Ron DeSantis is openly threatening members of the legislature in his last year as governor of Florida.

01:52:05.000 So it's brave.

01:52:06.000 It takes a lot of bravery.

01:52:07.000 It takes a lot of courage.

01:52:09.000 I mean, when you push back against Ron DeSantis, you face retaliation, especially here as a lawmaker in the state of Florida.

01:52:17.000 Joe Gruters, who I know and I've known for several years, spoke out about this extensively, the way that Ron DeSantis retaliated against him.

01:52:24.000 And now you see Representative Andrade is being attacked by Ron DeSantis, who behaves like a mob boss.

01:52:31.000 This is not a conspiracy.

01:52:32.000 We've been talking about this for over a year now, right?

01:52:35.000 Almost. Almost two years now here on Loomer Unleashed.

01:52:41.000 Oh boy.

01:52:44.000 Representative Andrade said, we good?

01:52:46.000 Sorry for that.

01:52:47.000 I think they cut my Wi-Fi.

01:52:48.000 I'm in the capital.

01:52:49.000 Let me see.

01:52:50.000 Are you able to reconnect to sign off?

01:52:54.000 If not, comma, I can close out for you.

01:53:00.000 So breaking news, Representative Andrade says that he is currently doing this interview from the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee, and he says, I think they cut my Wi-Fi.

01:53:11.000 That is literally word for word what he just said to me.

01:53:13.000 So that's pretty shocking.

01:53:15.000 If they actually cut the Wi-Fi for an elected Republican representative who is on an interview right now with me from his office inside the Florida Capitol, that is shocking.

01:53:26.000 That is shocking behavior.

01:53:28.000 Oh, here we have him now.

01:53:30.000 He said he's back.

01:53:31.000 I can't hear him.

01:53:32.000 Let's get his audio back up in my ear.

01:53:35.000 My audio working?

01:53:36.000 Yep. Do you think that they cut your Wi-Fi?

01:53:40.000 I mean, look, Ron DeSantis retaliates, and I wouldn't be surprised.

01:53:45.000 Suspiciously and not so coincidentally, right, the cameras were also cut.

01:53:52.000 Remember when...

01:53:56.000 What's that guy's name?

01:53:58.000 What's his name?

01:54:00.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.

01:54:01.000 The guy that was found dead outside Ron DeSantis' office after they had an argument and the cameras were turned off.

01:54:07.000 Oh, the attorney.

01:54:09.000 I forget.

01:54:10.000 He was the attorney.

01:54:11.000 Why am I forgetting his name?

01:54:13.000 My Wi-Fi definitely went out, but I don't know if it was malicious intent or just the Wi-Fi went out.

01:54:19.000 Yeah. I'm trying to find this guy's name.

01:54:22.000 I don't know why.

01:54:24.000 Peter Antonacci.

01:54:26.000 Yes, so Peter Antonacci.

01:54:27.000 So again, people say, oh, you know, this sounds like a conspiracy.

01:54:31.000 But no, Peter Antonacci, too, is another example.

01:54:33.000 That's another scandal, right, that we still have never received any answers for.

01:54:37.000 How did Peter Antonacci suspiciously die outside of Ron DeSantis' office in the Florida Capitol after having a very loud argument with him over the security of our elections?

01:54:48.000 And why was his body left on the floor outside the governor's office for over 20 minutes?

01:54:52.000 And the cameras, you know, in the hallways were suspiciously cut.

01:54:56.000 Right. So there's a lot of shady stuff that happens with Ron DeSantis.

01:55:00.000 We would be here all night long.

01:55:01.000 And you've already been very generous with your time as it stands.

01:55:05.000 I mean, I think this is why he's also shuffled all of his agency heads,

01:55:21.000 too. That's one thing I forgot to ask you tonight about why you think Ron DeSantis shuffled all his agency heads.

01:55:28.000 Well, again, he's got a shrinking circle, but I've always equated state government as far closer to Veep than House of Cards.

01:55:40.000 I think there's a lot more bungling and incompetence than there is intentional wrongdoing.

01:55:45.000 There's definitely intentional wrongdoing, but I think it's more as...

01:55:50.000 It was more accurately depicted by Veep than House of Cards from my perspective.

01:55:56.000 So if that helps with the perspective at all, there's definitely a lot of incompetence.

01:56:02.000 There's a very small circle in the Santa's camp.

01:56:04.000 So they just don't have a deep bench anymore.

01:56:07.000 I don't know if they ever really did have a truly deep bench, but they definitely don't have a deep bench now.

01:56:12.000 Is there any steps you can take to make sure, now that we know that this financial fraud has occurred, to make sure that the Florida Freedom Fund money isn't transferred over to Casey DeSantis if she does indeed run for governor of Florida?

01:56:27.000 I don't think it has to be transferred.

01:56:28.000 That PC can use this money how it sees fit for state campaigns and elections.

01:56:34.000 So, I mean, they could all but live off of that if they like.

01:56:38.000 Neither of them could ever run for office.

01:56:39.000 They'd still have access to that PC.

01:56:42.000 You know, pay for as many dinners and plane flights and, you know, close as they like.

01:56:48.000 So, no, I don't think there's a way to transfer it or prevent it from being transferred.

01:56:54.000 It just exists the way it is.

01:56:57.000 Although I do think we should probably look into some more campaign finance reform about how PACs can move money around and what they can be used for.

01:57:07.000 Absolutely. I definitely agree with that.

01:57:10.000 You were cut off when I was asking you if there's anything else, any last-minute comments that you had for the viewers, and then, of course, I'll let you go.

01:57:17.000 So feel free to share any last comments, thoughts, or anything that would assist you and the efforts of the Republican legislator as they're trying to hold Ron DeSantis accountable in these last two weeks of session.

01:57:30.000 Yeah. So when folks are looking at this story and following along, there's no ulterior motive on my part.

01:57:38.000 I'm not running for higher office.

01:57:40.000 I'm terming out in a year and a half and I'm going home.

01:57:44.000 I'm just a guy that was livid when I found out James Uthmeyer treated Medicaid money like his own personal piggy bank and then engaged and involved a ton of people in this conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.

01:57:56.000 Unlike the other folks that you might hear commentating about this, I don't depend on a paycheck from Ron DeSantis or anybody else.

01:58:03.000 I'm supposed to be representing my constituents to the best of my ability and making sure I'm a good steward of the taxpayer dollar.

01:58:10.000 So when you look at the intent and the motivations of people and the circumstance, just keep that in mind.

01:58:18.000 I'm going to be attacked by DeSantis constantly.

01:58:20.000 They accuse me of being a stooge for big weed and a stooge for the plaintiff's bar and that I want to go run for some higher office.

01:58:27.000 You will never see me on a ballot ever again.

01:58:30.000 I'm going to go home and focus on raising my two daughters and being the best husband I possibly can.

01:58:37.000 You're just not going to see that from anybody else involved in this story, anybody attacking me.

01:58:43.000 They're motivated by different things.

01:58:45.000 They have ulterior motivations.

01:58:47.000 They want to run for higher office.

01:58:49.000 They're more personally interested.

01:58:50.000 They're self-interested.

01:58:52.000 What would you do?

01:58:54.000 Obviously, this isn't a full-time job, but the session itself is not a full-time commitment.

01:59:01.000 You're saying that you're not going to be on the ballot again.

01:59:04.000 What would you do?

01:59:05.000 What would you want to do?

01:59:06.000 Because that's the problem, right?

01:59:07.000 Is that people always complain that there's no good people in politics and that, you know, good people turn out, but...

01:59:13.000 You know, there's a reason why.

01:59:14.000 It's because a lot of it is a lot to swallow.

01:59:17.000 This is why you'll never see my name on a ballot again, ever again, even though people are always like, run for Congress again.

01:59:22.000 I'm like, no.

01:59:24.000 The system doesn't want people who actually want to call out corruption.

01:59:29.000 You quickly learn when you're running for office or once you're a part of the system that they want people who they can control and they want people who they can get to turn a blind eye.

01:59:38.000 And that's true.

01:59:39.000 It doesn't matter what position it is.

01:59:41.000 They really honestly have Such disdain and contempt for people that are watchdogs for the people.

01:59:48.000 Unlike Ron DeSantis, I do have a day job that's separate from my public office, and I do own my own house.

01:59:54.000 So I'm looking forward to going back to the house that I already own and sticking with my day job.

01:59:59.000 I am very much looking forward to looking back on my eight years, being proud of my service, and knowing I did right by my constituents until the very end.

02:00:09.000 Well, I want to commend you, and I want to thank you for having the courage in a time and an era when so many people lacked the courage, especially in the Florida legislature, where so many people were very scared to challenge Ron DeSantis over this last election season.

02:00:28.000 And I hope that we will see...

02:00:30.000 Some actual accountability from your efforts.

02:00:33.000 I hope that we will see some criminal referrals and prosecutions and maybe even some political resignations.

02:00:38.000 But with that, where do people go to follow you and support you?

02:00:44.000 Oh, man.

02:00:45.000 I don't have a big social media following, but my tag on Twitter, I think, is ralexandradefl.

02:00:53.000 Thanks, Laura, for tagging me in that tweet today.

02:00:56.000 Feel free to follow along on Twitter.

02:00:57.000 I don't really much have a social media presence otherwise.

02:01:02.000 I mean, I really am just the epitome of a normal person who's just doing this, trying to do a good job and go home.

02:01:10.000 If you want to follow me on Twitter, you'll see a lot of sarcasm.

02:01:13.000 And I do like to troll back with all the Santa spots.

02:01:16.000 It might be entertaining.

02:01:18.000 But otherwise...

02:01:20.000 Yeah, otherwise you'd go.

02:01:22.000 Where is that investigation standing?

02:01:24.000 Because now that Randy Fine's going to be in Congress, who's going to be overseeing that investigation into whether or not Ron DeSantis' state office was being used for official campaign purposes?

02:01:34.000 Because we all know that the people who work in his office have access to those Gator accounts that they use to troll everybody and attack everybody from all those anonymous...

02:01:44.000 Anonymous accounts online where they're constantly disparaging Trump supporters and attacking people who expose the governor.

02:01:50.000 Is there actually going to be an investigation or an audit of the governor's devices?

02:01:55.000 Because I think that people would be shocked if they saw that...

02:02:00.000 I personally have a theory that people who work in Governor DeSantis' personal gubernatorial office...

02:02:07.000 We're using the same devices to campaign for him, which is completely illegal.

02:02:12.000 And I think that an investigation would prove me right.

02:02:15.000 I have no doubt.

02:02:16.000 I have no doubt about it.

02:02:18.000 I don't have any first-hand knowledge, but given how aggressive and how focused they were on Twitter constantly, all these public officials in the governor's office, I have no doubt.

02:02:30.000 You know, that's a good question.

02:02:31.000 I don't know who's going to pick up the mantle from Randy on that stuff, on Senator, now Congressman, fine.

02:02:38.000 Maybe you can.

02:02:39.000 You can.

02:02:40.000 You can do it.

02:02:42.000 I'm a little loaded up with this health care budget that I've got to still negotiate for the state, and I'm still trying to figure out who all was involved in this conspiracy, but if I get some free time, I'll definitely take it up.

02:02:54.000 Yeah, I know.

02:02:55.000 Other lawmakers need to start picking up the slack, right?

02:03:00.000 Alrighty. I'm proud to serve with my colleagues and I'm sure somebody will.

02:03:05.000 We'll see.

02:03:05.000 Thank you.

02:03:06.000 Well, yeah, thanks so much for coming on.

02:03:08.000 Have a great evening.

02:03:09.000 Keep us posted.

02:03:10.000 You too.

02:03:11.000 See you guys.

02:03:14.000 Wonderful. Well, he gave us a lot of his time tonight, but I just felt that it was really important to have him on and I told him ahead of time that we were going to keep him for at least an hour tonight because...

02:03:25.000 That's a lot to cover, and we were gaslit throughout this entire presidential election season.

02:03:30.000 We were told that these things about Ron DeSantis and his staff were not true, and you heard from a lawmaker who himself was pressured and threatened by Ron DeSantis' team by having his appropriations cut for his constituents to endorse and support Ron DeSantis in the state of Florida for his presidential primary against President Trump in 2023-2024.

02:03:54.000 And it's real.

02:03:56.000 All these claims about James Uthmeyer, Ron DeSantis' campaign manager, former chief of staff, and now the hand-selected AG, they're all true.

02:04:06.000 So... Again, you saw how these Republican lawmakers and these desantoids, or the gatorheads as I like to call them, lied for over two years about their unethical behavior and conduct. 1.00

02:04:18.000 And I'm just really hoping, like, God bless Representative Andrade because so many Republicans are such pussies in the Florida legislature and they don't want to hold anybody accountable. 0.96

02:04:28.000 So, God bless them and hopefully we see some accountability. 0.97

02:04:33.000 Hope you enjoyed that segment.

02:04:34.000 Before I continue with the rest of my coverage this evening on Loomer Unleashed, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, and that, of course, is Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

02:04:45.000 Breaking news.

02:04:46.000 Laura Loomer has been canceled.

02:04:48.000 The President of the United States has refused to take her phone calls, as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.

02:04:54.000 Is Laura Loomer the most hated person on planet Earth? 1.00

02:04:58.000 We want to hear from you, the listener, and get your opinion on whether or not...

02:05:02.000 Man, I tell you, I heard, I heard she got canceled. 1.00

02:05:04.000 We coming for you, bitch. 1.00

02:05:05.000 We coming to your house, Laura Loomer. 1.00

02:05:07.000 We know where you live.

02:05:09.000 We coming for you right now.

02:05:10.000 We coming for your friends.

02:05:12.000 We coming for your friends' little dog.

02:05:13.000 Frankly, you know, I hope they throw her away for the rest of her life. 1.00

02:05:17.000 I hope she dies. 1.00

02:05:18.000 She is currently on the run from authorities. 0.99

02:05:20.000 She is described as armed and dangerous.

02:05:22.000 I just can't believe she's been getting away with it for this.

02:05:25.000 An angry mob appears to be forming outside the home of journalist Laura Loomer.

02:05:29.000 What is wrong with you?

02:05:30.000 Why are you not panicking?

02:05:32.000 Because I called 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.

02:05:48.000 So I'm fine.

02:05:50.000 Call 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.

02:06:03.000 I want to go to the chat, get your comments, thoughts about that interview.

02:06:08.000 It's a long interview, but hey, people need to hear the truth about Ron DeSantis and his corruption.

02:06:12.000 And unfortunately, there's not a lot of coverage about this on Fox News or Newsmax or any of these so-called right-wing networks.

02:06:21.000 So people need to know the truth about how corrupt Ron DeSantis is because...

02:06:26.000 He should not be able to leave office and have a solid legacy.

02:06:30.000 This is a man who has abused his power to threaten people and to do very unethical things to get what he wants and to harm others who get in his way as governor throughout his time in Tallahassee, as we have exposed here.

02:06:49.000 So

02:06:50.000 SOS01 said, Alex A is a beautiful American.

02:06:53.000 May he and his family be blessed with health and security and joy.

02:06:56.000 You can scroll up.

02:06:58.000 Love this commercial.

02:07:03.000 We're still live for another 20 minutes or so.

02:07:05.000 So please be sure that you repost it.

02:07:14.000 And also be sure you click the follow button on Rumble.

02:07:20.000 Let's see.

02:07:21.000 Let's scroll up and see what people are saying.

02:07:23.000 read some of these comments.

02:07:24.000 Thank you.

02:07:25.000 Thank you.

02:07:31.000 Everybody's saying, many good segments in this show.

02:07:34.000 Yeah. I mean, look.

02:07:36.000 We definitely bring the juicy scoops here on Loomer Unleashed.

02:07:41.000 And a lot of people are saying, oh, this whole thing about PHXF and Rob DeSantis isn't true.

02:07:46.000 I'm telling you, it's true.

02:07:48.000 My sources tell me that when President Trump met with Casey DeSantis and Ron DeSantis at his golf club before the confirmation of Pete Hegseth, it was to establish Ron's interest in potentially becoming the Plan B option for Pete Hegseth if he didn't survive the nomination process.

02:08:09.000 And so now Pete Hegseth has been confirmed.

02:08:11.000 Look, I like Pete.

02:08:12.000 I'm not against Pete Hegseth.

02:08:14.000 I'm trying to expose this coup.

02:08:17.000 Now that Pete Hegseth has been confirmed, you see in the aftermath of SignalGate, there's all these calls to fire Pete Hegseth, unfortunately, instead of holding Michael Waltz accountable, even though it's the NSC and the NSA that are rotten.

02:08:30.000 And you have officials at the DNI that are rotten.

02:08:33.000 You have officials at DOD.

02:08:34.000 You have officials all throughout our intel agencies who are rotten, right?

02:08:37.000 I described it last night as a Koch coup, right?

02:08:41.000 A Koch brother coup, I said on X. There's still this shadow operation to push out Pete Hegseth and convince the replacement to be Ron DeSantis.

02:08:55.000 And even Roger Stone confirmed today that his sources are telling him the same thing.

02:09:01.000 So don't be surprised if you hear it or if they do fire Pete Hegseth.

02:09:06.000 And again, I'm a supporter.

02:09:08.000 I like him.

02:09:08.000 I think we need to defend Pete Hegseth.

02:09:10.000 I don't see why he should be fired.

02:09:12.000 But if PXF does somehow end up getting fired or replaced, don't be surprised if Ron DeSantis is announced as his replacement.

02:09:19.000 And when you hear that, you'll know who you heard it from first.

02:09:22.000 you

02:09:24.000 Another interesting story I wanted to talk about tonight, because again, it shows the lack of vetting in the Trump administration, and it goes to show you just like the level of chaos that exists in the Trump administration.

02:09:36.000 As it pertains to political appointees, cabinet members, and some of these new hires defying the authority of President Trump and his administration is a story that I broke earlier tonight.

02:09:50.000 Our guest about a week or so ago, Justin Goodman from the White Coat Waste Project, when he was discussing...

02:09:59.000 All of the experiments with Fauci that they've exposed and all the animal testing.

02:10:05.000 We had Justin and White Coat Waste on the program on Tax Day, if you recall, to talk about how $20 billion of your money every single year goes towards animal testing here in the United States, especially in programs funded by the NIH,

02:10:20.000 which was previously run by Dr. Fauci.

02:10:23.000 Who was removed and has since been replaced by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

02:10:27.000 That's the new Trump appointee.

02:10:29.000 But disturbingly, and I guess not surprisingly, because we've seen so much oppositional defiance within the Trump administration.

02:10:37.000 I mean, this is not a secret.

02:10:39.000 We talk about it here.

02:10:40.000 And I said that we were going to have a vetting crisis segment going forward here on Loomer Unleashed to talk about all the vetting crises.

02:10:49.000 Dr. Jay Bhattacharya knows that Donald Trump doesn't want any more animal testing on mice for the purpose of doing transgender experiments.

02:10:58.000 It recently went viral in videos, and I think we actually, we may have a video, I think we actually have a video of President Trump talking about this, maybe not, but there were videos online, you could find them yourself, of President Trump addressing the state of Congress about the transgender mice,

02:11:15.000 if you recall.

02:11:16.000 Even Elon Musk said, wow, can you believe it?

02:11:19.000 Like, we found out that they're doing studies on mice to see if they're transgender.

02:11:22.000 And we were told that this funding was going to end.

02:11:26.000 Well, even under the current Trump administration, as of last week, according to records from archives taken of the NIH website, last week,

02:11:42.000 the grant For the transgender mice study out of the Indiana University was suspiciously renewed.

02:11:53.000 We have the screenshots.

02:11:54.000 You can go to my tweet about this and you can see that the grant began during the Biden administration.

02:12:01.000 You can scroll up to the yellow images right there.

02:12:05.000 Actually, go to my tweet because it's in the screenshot on my tweet.

02:12:11.000 I don't believe it's added into the article yet.

02:12:13.000 Go to my tweet, my timeline.

02:12:17.000 But I showed a side-by-side of the two different budget end dates, right?

02:12:25.000 And these pages have since been archived in case they try to dispute this journalistic report.

02:12:33.000 One of the screenshots clearly says that the ending was supposed to end in June of 2025.

02:12:39.000 Just go to my main page on X and you'll see it.

02:12:42.000 It's one of my last tweets.

02:12:43.000 Just go to my main page and go on my timeline.

02:12:45.000 You scroll down.

02:12:48.000 Click on Laura Loomer.

02:12:50.000 Let's scroll down.

02:12:52.000 Okay. Scroll down a little bit more.

02:12:55.000 Just a little bit more.

02:12:58.000 A little bit more.

02:12:59.000 Right there.

02:13:00.000 If you're following along, here's my X account.

02:13:03.000 You can see, there's a screenshot, had this put together, made a collage.

02:13:09.000 Here's a statement made by President Trump after he gave his address to Congress, where he said, yes, Biden spent millions on transgender animal experiments because when he gave this address to Congress, he was mocked and people said, oh, what is he talking about?

02:13:22.000 There's no such thing as transgender mice. 1.00

02:13:25.000 I believe even Bill Maher was mocking this recently on an interview with Charlie Kirk.

02:13:28.000 A lot of people were saying that this wasn't true.

02:13:31.000 It is indeed true.

02:13:32.000 You can see here, it says NIH, and if you look at the screenshot of the report, it says gonadal hormones as mediators of sex and gender influences in asthma, right?

02:13:42.000 But if you go and you look at the breakdown of the study, it clearly talks about making transgender mice, right? 0.97

02:13:52.000 The budget end date says June 2025, budget start date July 2024.

02:13:58.000 This was initiated under the Biden administration and it was supposed to end within the next two months under the Trump administration.

02:14:04.000 We were actually told that the funding was already cut.

02:14:08.000 But last week, they quietly went back into the NIH database under the Trump administration at the NIH, which is now led by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Trump appointee.

02:14:19.000 And what does that say at the bottom right there?

02:14:21.000 If you could zoom in, maybe you can't.

02:14:23.000 If not, then you can just, you know, look at it yourself.

02:14:25.000 But if you can't zoom in, oh, Cannon's going to zoom in for us, roll over.

02:14:30.000 It now says June 30th, 2026.

02:14:35.000 So it's been extended an entire year, an entire year into the Trump administration.

02:14:39.000 So original budget date, revised budget date.

02:14:45.000 That is exclusive evidence.

02:14:47.000 Okay, that is undisputable proof.

02:14:49.000 If you go back to the Lumard article that we released today on the website, you can scroll up to the title.

02:14:58.000 NIH renews funding for cruel fauci beagle and trans mice experiments under new Trump administration.

02:15:05.000 So it's not just the transgender mice experiment that they decided to renew, but also they decided to renew The abuse of beagles in laboratories. 0.92

02:15:16.000 You can scroll down.

02:15:18.000 We'll go through the article just so that you can see what is happening.

02:15:20.000 It's an abomination that this is already happening under the Trump administration after we were told that things like this were going to end.

02:15:28.000 Here are photographs that have been obtained by the White Coast Waste Project of these experiments where they put these beagles inside these tents and they release flies so that...

02:15:40.000 The dogs, without any type of pain medicine, can have their entire faces eaten alive by these flies, right? 0.51

02:15:47.000 And we were told that this was inhumane and that these projects were going to be defunded under the new Trump administration.

02:15:53.000 Well, you can scroll down.

02:15:54.000 Thank you.

02:15:55.000 Thank you.

02:16:02.000 In advance of White Coast Waste's interview with Loomer Unleashed, Loomer broke a new White Coast Waste investigation exposing how the Biden-Harris National Institute of Health paid billionaire Moderna co-founder Robert Langer's new biotech company to torture beagles to test an experimental weight loss drug.

02:16:16.000 The $322,000 grant was given to Langer's company in September of 2024, and it's still being funded until August 2025 under the new Trump administration.

02:16:26.000 We talked about that extensively last week here on Loomer Unleashed.

02:16:31.000 You know, rescind the funding and end this immediately, given the fact that Donald Trump is president and he has a new NIH director.

02:16:38.000 And as I said, it begs the question, why is the Trump NIH still paying this Trump-hating mRNA pioneer and vaccine billionaire to abuse dogs?

02:16:46.000 And the question also remains, why are they still conducting animal abuse experiments?

02:16:51.000 In laboratories funded by the NIH here in the United States and abroad, including in the very own NIH headquarter office where Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the NIH director, works himself every single day or at least every single week when he reports to work as the NIH director.

02:17:08.000 You can scroll down.

02:17:13.000 Trump's NIH headquarters where the new Trump-appointed NIH director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, is headquartered.

02:17:18.000 Still houses a lab, right?

02:17:20.000 As I say this now to you live on air under the Trump administration, to this day, right, we were promised this was going to end.

02:17:27.000 They still have a lab that has been torturing beagles and deadly septic shock experiments for a quarter century, and they plan to continue their abuse of animals on taxpayer dime.

02:17:38.000 White Coast Waste uncovered that NIH and the Pentagon are currently paying a laboratory in China to abuse 300 beagles per week in drug tests.

02:17:46.000 So, again, I'm going to personally reach out to Pete Hegseth about this because I can't imagine that Pete Hegseth would be okay with this.

02:17:55.000 And I wonder if he's even aware of this.

02:17:58.000 And Dr. Bhattacharya, I know, is aware of this.

02:18:01.000 He keeps on, you know, saying things like, oh, yeah, I really like the work that White Coat Waste does.

02:18:06.000 But the question is, if Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is aware of this, why is he allowing for this to continue?

02:18:12.000 So we need to start getting more aggressive on Dr. Jay Bhattacharya because he's essentially sanctioning.

02:18:18.000 He's allowing for animal abuse.

02:18:20.000 They're allowing for.

02:18:21.000 And we're currently paying in this joint partnership with the NIH and the Pentagon, paying a laboratory in China where my dear Mecca, my dog that I rescued from a Chinese meat market, they are so barbaric to animals in China.

02:18:33.000 They eat them.

02:18:34.000 They eat animals.

02:18:35.000 My dog is probably no more than 10 pounds, sometimes 9 pounds.

02:18:40.000 And they were trying to eat her.

02:18:41.000 And mind you, she was emaciated when I adopted her. 1.00

02:18:44.000 She was 7 pounds, which is a lot for a dog that size to be that emaciated. 0.99

02:18:49.000 They treat animals horribly there and our own government is paying for this.

02:18:53.000 And we discussed the previous work that they did on the last episode of Loomer Unleashed, but now it's been brought to my attention that they are now, even to this day, under the current Trump administration, renewing and still paying for these torture experiments on beagles.

02:19:09.000 The contract was awarded under Biden-Harris and is still active until the end of May 2025 and could be extended if Bhattacharya doesn't take immediate action.

02:19:18.000 So it's up for renewal and May is right around the corner and we are this close to having those Beagle experiments renewed for another term of funding under the current Trump administration if Dr. Bhattacharya and Donald Trump do not take action.

02:19:35.000 Really disturbing to see that this is happening under the current Trump administration, especially given the fact that before the end of his first term, as you can see here, Trump canceled grants to some Chinese labs, but there are still 20 other Chinese animal testing laboratories that are still eligible for NIH funding.

02:19:55.000 Also, as we discussed on the last episode of Loomer Unleashed, you have Dr. Nora Valcol, who is a longtime NIH bureaucrat.

02:20:03.000 She serves as the director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse at NIH, which funded this Chinese dog lab and paid for abuses, for example, like injecting dogs with cocaine and fentanyl and also sex party drug tests on transgender animals.

02:20:17.000 I don't really understand what that is, but these are like very degenerate experiments, experiments, if you want to call it that.

02:20:23.000 It just sounds like, sounds like bestiality and animal abuse, if you ask me.

02:20:29.000 And this lady has managed to keep her job. 1.00

02:20:32.000 But hopefully she's held accountable as well.

02:20:34.000 And you can see the screenshots.

02:20:35.000 I know it may be shocking and unbelievable to all of you, but see it says China.

02:20:40.000 Mice, dogs, cats, animal experiments, China, awarding office from the National Institute of Health.

02:20:46.000 So if we truly are implementing tariffs on China and taking a strong approach on China under the current Trump administration, why is the current Trump administration allowing for our National Institute of Health?

02:20:58.000 To use our taxpayer money to fund a lab in China that is torturing dogs, cats, and mice.

02:21:04.000 It's not going to end until May 31st, 2025.

02:21:07.000 And unless Dr. Bhattacharya or President Trump explicitly says otherwise, this contract is up for renewal.

02:21:14.000 So again, very disturbing.

02:21:19.000 According to White Coat Waste, the NIH just renewed a $3 million project funded by Dr. Fauci at the University of Missouri, Columbia that infests hundreds of beagle puppies with ticks.

02:21:29.000 You can scroll up.

02:21:29.000 This is just brutal.

02:21:31.000 In vaccine experiments, records obtained by White Coat Waste show that the puppies have had their fur shaved and capsules of full and hungry ticks glued.

02:21:40.000 They actually glue these ticks to their bare skin after shaving them.

02:21:45.000 And the dogs are intentionally denied pain relief.

02:21:49.000 The grant was scheduled to end in May of 2025, and the Trump NIH just extended these animal abuse experiments until May of 2026.

02:21:57.000 Now, do I think that Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office saying, oh, yep, let's go abuse dogs?

02:22:02.000 No, I think that Donald Trump would be absolutely disgusted to learn that his administration is renewing the torture of these animals, which includes infesting animals.

02:22:11.000 Infesting puppies with ticks and letting them die after getting septic shock.

02:22:16.000 So if President Trump were to be alerted to this, I think that he would immediately call Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and tell him to end these horrific grants and also end animal testing.

02:22:25.000 But again, this is the vetting crisis in the Trump administration.

02:22:29.000 Why are they allowing Trump to give an address to Congress and mock the transgender mice? 0.98

02:22:35.000 We actually have the video here.

02:22:37.000 We'll play it for you momentarily.

02:22:40.000 Quietly going and funding under the Trump administration an extension of these transgender mice experiments. 0.90

02:22:46.000 It's almost like people in the Trump administration who work for the president are deliberately trying to sabotage him and embarrass him.

02:22:54.000 I'm gonna go ahead and play this clip and let you decide for yourself.

02:22:57.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

02:22:58.000 We'll be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.

02:23:05.000 Just listen to some of the appalling waste.

02:23:08.000 We have already identified eight million dollars for making mice transgender This is real Yeah, 1.00

02:23:26.000 this is real and For some reason, it's still happening under the current Trump administration, as I said, and they have decided to extend quietly, right, quietly change the termination date for the budget, and they have extended it for another year.

02:23:41.000 So if Donald Trump is so appalled by transgender mice experiments, then I suggest he call over to his NIH director, who he appointed, and tell him to immediately end that contract with the Indiana University.

02:23:57.000 This is from a screenshot of the documents that were uncovered by White Coat Waste.

02:24:03.000 You can see here that in this experiment they're talking about infesting the dogs with ticks.

02:24:10.000 They say that a dog is commonly used species to perform a pre-clinical pharmacokinetic study.

02:24:19.000 Beagle dog is docile, cute, and easy to domesticate, so it has been the best choice of the different kinds of dogs based on the corresponding drug efficiency study.

02:24:28.000 So they're actually admitting in these documents, it's so barbaric, that the reason why they want to choose beagles for these torture experiments is because beagles they have identified are the most docile and easy to domesticate,

02:24:43.000 and they don't fight back.

02:24:45.000 So they're trying to find dogs that are not going to fight back.

02:24:49.000 When they are being physically abused and tortured in laboratories.

02:24:55.000 The NIH also just extended a $3.1 million grant for transgender animal testing that White Coat Waste exposed last year. 0.99

02:25:04.000 Again, President Trump called this out during his congressional address.

02:25:07.000 And so the question is, you know, why, under the Trump administration, are they now trying to embarrass the president by funding transgender mice experiments? 0.67

02:25:17.000 I know this is all very shocking.

02:25:18.000 Scroll down.

02:25:19.000 Some of these images are hard to see.

02:25:21.000 Scroll down.

02:25:21.000 Let's show them the image of the dog.

02:25:24.000 Here's an image of the dog that is having its skin eaten alive by these ticks.

02:25:33.000 Poor dog.

02:25:34.000 That's so sad.

02:25:35.000 Wish I could rescue all of them. 0.97

02:25:37.000 So horrible.

02:25:41.000 So again, you know, you can give people the benefit of the doubt.

02:25:46.000 But we're almost at 100 days.

02:25:48.000 After April 30th, which is quickly approaching in the next eight days, we're going to be officially at the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

02:25:55.000 And so I can confirm that Dr. J. Bhattacharya saw portions of my show from the last episode.

02:26:04.000 I know that for a fact.

02:26:06.000 I won't say how I found that out, but sources tell me that Dr. J. Bhattacharya saw...

02:26:12.000 Segments from my last show in which I was questioning him and criticizing him for his leadership at NIH, asking why these animal experiments haven't ended.

02:26:20.000 And so it's on his radar.

02:26:22.000 He's aware of it.

02:26:23.000 And so now the question is, is he going to use his authority to shut down these labs?

02:26:28.000 And is he going to allow for animal torture to take place in his very own office where he shows up to work every single day?

02:26:34.000 There is a live beagle laboratory inside the NIH where they are abusing animals.

02:26:39.000 Animals are probably...

02:26:40.000 Dying and being tortured right now as I speak to you live on air right now in this laboratory at the NIH headquarters.

02:26:50.000 And you have to ask yourself, like, what kind of monster is able to go to work and know that in the same building where they are hanging out, answering phones, doing work, eating lunch, hanging out with colleagues, that animals in a nearby room or facility are being tortured?

02:27:05.000 It's horrific, and it needs to end.

02:27:08.000 I really hope that President Trump, as a pro-life president and as a pro-life leader, also sets a new standard.

02:27:19.000 Instead of us trusting the science, the fake science, as we saw under Anthony Fauci, and instead of us having science weaponized against us to subjugate us and deprive us of our rights.

02:27:30.000 Hopefully President Trump will take a more humane approach and will use what we know about science and encourage advancements in things like AI technology to replace inhumane practices like animal testing.

02:27:44.000 Because, look, this is the kind of stuff that you would expect to see under the Biden administration, but we're 100 days into the Trump administration and people are aware of this.

02:27:53.000 So as far as I'm concerned, there's literally no excuse after the end of these first 100 days for people to say, oh, well, you know, I had no idea that this was happening.

02:28:03.000 I had no idea that dogs were being tortured because they 100% are aware of it.

02:28:07.000 And, you know, I'm sitting back and I'm going to be judging people very strongly.

02:28:12.000 And critically, depending on how they respond to this, because it's just an abomination that our own Pentagon is working with NIH to fund torture labs of beagles in China.

02:28:24.000 So I am going to be speaking to Pete Hegseth, who I've known for many years personally about this matter, because this is an abomination.

02:28:35.000 Before we close out, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, and that, of course, is Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

02:29:36.000 And they really do prioritize Loomer Unleashed viewers.

02:29:39.000 You can see here they went as far as creating their very own landing page for the viewers here of Loomer Unleashed.

02:29:44.000 You just let them know that Laura Loomer sent you and Kirk and his team of professionals over at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

02:29:51.000 We'll answer all your questions about investing in precious metals.

02:29:55.000 Breaking news.

02:29:57.000 Laura Loomer has been canceled.

02:29:59.000 The president of the United States has refused to take her phone calls as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.

02:30:05.000 Is Laura Loomer the most hated person on planet Earth? 1.00

02:30:08.000 We want to hear from you, the listener, and get your opinion on whether or not.

02:30:12.000 Man, I tell you, I heard she got canceled. 1.00

02:30:14.000 We coming for you, bitch. 1.00

02:30:16.000 We coming to your house, Laura Loomer. 1.00

02:30:27.000 I hope she dies. 1.00

02:30:28.000 She is currently on the run from authorities. 0.99

02:30:30.000 She is described as armed and dangerous.

02:30:33.000 I just can't believe she's been getting away with it for this.

02:30:35.000 An angry mob appears to be forming outside the home of journalist Laura Loomer.

02:30:40.000 What is wrong with you?

02:30:41.000 Why are you not panicking?

02:30:43.000 Because I called 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.

02:30:58.000 So I'm fine.

02:31:00.000 Call 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.

02:31:13.000 Definitely check them out.

02:31:15.000 Put your comments and questions in the chat before we close out tonight.

02:31:20.000 Something really funny happened today, too.

02:31:22.000 I mean, the media is obsessed with talking about me, but there was this really funny article that came out today.

02:31:27.000 It was an MSNBC article.

02:31:28.000 Do we have the MSNBC article?

02:31:30.000 It was so funny.

02:31:31.000 I thought it was a joke at first when somebody sent it to me, and then I was like, oh my god, that's a real article.

02:31:36.000 Hilarious. Here we go.

02:31:38.000 MSNBC wrote this article today.

02:31:40.000 Oh my god.

02:31:41.000 Laura Loomer wants you to snitch on your immigrant neighbors. 1.00

02:31:44.000 That's so funny.

02:31:47.000 Late last month, Laura Loomer, a prominent MAGA influencer who in 2017 called herself pro-white nationalism, invited Jacob Engels, a Proud Boys associate and writer for the conspiracy theory pushing blog.

02:31:59.000 My god, it's like, how many times are they going to, like, use these adjectives to describe me?

02:32:05.000 Gateway Pundit to her podcast to discuss a new app.

02:32:09.000 Of course, I don't want to use the name of my podcast.

02:32:11.000 It's called Loomer Unleashed.

02:32:13.000 To discuss a new app that would help people they see as true patriots support their neighbors and get paid for it.

02:32:19.000 Yeah, they're illegal alien neighbors, right? 1.00

02:32:22.000 It's called Ice Raid US, Angle said, explaining how users could snap photos of illegal aliens.

02:32:28.000 The app apparently then sends the photos, including the metadata, identifying where and when they were taken.

02:32:33.000 To law enforcement.

02:32:34.000 This is really, really interesting because it's taking up so much off the backs of law enforcement and we're doing it as citizens and you have the opportunity to earn crypto for reporting and deporting illegals.

02:32:44.000 Loomer, one of President Donald Trump's close confidence, was thrilled.

02:32:47.000 If you're sick and tired of the illegal alien construction workers making a bunch of noise at the house next door to yours, you can actually call it in, she said.

02:32:58.000 Get that cryptocurrency for reporting these individuals.

02:33:00.000 It's almost like a bounty.

02:33:03.000 It's unclear how functional Ice Raid US, created by a relatively unknown cryptocurrency entrepreneur named Jason Myers, really is, or to what degree it's actually coordinating with law enforcement.

02:33:14.000 What is clear is that the Avs launch earned coverage across far-right media, including former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz' OAN show, and spoke to a growing hunger among the MAGA faithful cultivated by the Republican Party to become vigilantes, informants,

02:33:30.000 and snitches to target immigrants. 1.00

02:33:32.000 No, illegal aliens! 0.82

02:33:33.000 Like, they're trying to act like we're just out there trying to go hunt immigrants down, when in reality we're talking about illegals. 0.61

02:33:43.000 Hi, Arachic, an influential libs of TikTok creator whose viral propaganda has falsely labeled queer people groomers and pedophiles and has been linked to a wave of anti-LGBTQ harassment threats, recently turned her sights on immigrants. 0.71

02:33:56.000 Oh, they're talking about, you know, oh, look at this.

02:33:59.000 Look at this.

02:34:00.000 She went out with Kirstie Num. 0.98

02:34:02.000 I mean, it's just so ridiculous. 0.91

02:34:03.000 You could scroll down. 0.91

02:34:09.000 Talking about how William Horn, a history professor at the University of Maryland, told me the most worse in parallel, the closest thing to what we're seeing now, is the assaults on the Reconstruction state governments after the Civil War when the Ku Klux Klan, along with other white vigilante groups and lynch mobs,

02:34:25.000 which is hilarious because Haya and I are both Jewish, by the way, just in case they wanted to leave that part out.

02:34:30.000 So now we're like KKK members, according to MSNBC.

02:34:34.000 Along with other vigilante groups and lynch mobs, partnered with law enforcement to target Black Southerners. 0.86

02:34:39.000 So because we want to round up illegal aliens and promote the deportation of illegals, we're basically like the KKK rounding up and lynching Blacks. 0.97

02:34:48.000 It's unbelievable.

02:34:49.000 This guerrilla war helped end Reconstruction, the federal government abandoning its nascent experiment in multiracial democracy and ushering in decades of Jim Crow. 0.75

02:35:04.000 Historically failing to take aggressive action against white vigilantism all but guarantees escalating white vigilantism in the creation of some form of an apartheid regime.

02:35:13.000 So apparently I'm a white vigilante, you guys, because on my show a couple weeks ago, I decided to have a podcast in which I interviewed an individual, another investigative journalist, and we had a discussion about an app called Ice Raid.

02:35:30.000 Anyway. And then they have a video of me.

02:35:35.000 Can we get that video?

02:35:36.000 What is it?

02:35:39.000 Oh, it's the Chris Hayes video at the very bottom of the clip.

02:35:42.000 They're playing that clip right there. 0.95

02:35:43.000 Just so ridiculous. 0.60

02:35:45.000 You can scroll up a little bit. 0.96

02:35:48.000 Let's see.

02:35:48.000 When Loomer and Angles were discussing the Ice Rate app, Loomer took a moment to recount an extremely exciting encounter she recently had.

02:35:58.000 I actually ended up catching up with Tom Homan, our border czar, in the airport here in Palm Beach, Florida, and I congratulated him on his deportation orders and his success thus far as the border czar, Loomer said, queuing up a video of the interaction.

02:36:11.000 Can we expect to see some more jihadist students rounded up soon and deported?

02:36:15.000 The video shows Lumer asking Homan referring to terrifying incidents of mass ICE agents disappearing college students.

02:36:22.000 Oh, boo-hoo! 1.00

02:36:23.000 It's so terrifying!

02:36:25.000 These kids are chanting death to America and death to Israel and waving Amos flags, and it's so terrifying!

02:36:31.000 Oh, we're gonna cry!

02:36:33.000 Oh, I was gonna cry!

02:36:35.000 I mean, like, honestly, the theatrics are just so crazy.

02:36:38.000 It's so terrifying, you guys!

02:36:40.000 We're rounding up! 1.00

02:36:41.000 Students that want to kill Jews and Christians. 1.00

02:36:44.000 I mean, these people are just so hyperbolic, out of control. 0.99

02:36:51.000 Disappearing college students off the streets for their support of pro-Palestinian causes.

02:36:55.000 No, I'm pretty sure that it's because they were actually caught supporting Hamas, but hey, revisionist history, right?

02:37:01.000 Including in the case of Tufts University doctoral student Rumaysa Osterk.

02:37:07.000 For the apparent transgression of writing an op-ed in the school newspaper.

02:37:11.000 No, they always try to make it sound like everything is just critical of Israel.

02:37:14.000 I have no problem with people criticizing Israel, okay?

02:37:17.000 But if you're here on a visa and you're openly calling for support of terrorist organizations that are recognized by our own State Department as being designated Islamic terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah, and we have a lot of video footage of students waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags and,

02:37:33.000 you know, praising Al-Quds and Soleimani and Nasrallah on college campuses.

02:37:40.000 Okay, yeah, you're going to be deported and you should have your green card or your visa taken away from you because you are supporting jihad on American soil. 0.85

02:37:47.000 video.

02:37:48.000 So, crazy.

02:37:50.000 The video shows Homan smiling at the question before looking into the camera.

02:37:54.000 Just sit back and watch, he said.

02:37:56.000 That's right.

02:37:57.000 Just sit back and watch because this is the era of accountability or at least that's what I voted for.

02:38:04.000 Hopefully we see a lot more mass deportations soon because I love watching MSNBC reporters cry. 0.99

02:38:11.000 I don't really give a shit if you want to call me a KKK member or a white vigilante. 0.99

02:38:16.000 Whatever, dude. 0.99

02:38:17.000 If that's what it means to want secure borders in my country and to support mass deportations, then I guess you're going to call me like, you know, the new chief Klansman.

02:38:26.000 What is it that they call?

02:38:27.000 What do they call them?

02:38:28.000 Like the chief dragon?

02:38:28.000 What is the name that they use for these chief Klansmen?

02:38:32.000 They have all these crazy names.

02:38:35.000 They have all these crazy names in different uniforms.

02:38:38.000 What is it my producers in my ear?

02:38:39.000 What do they call them?

02:38:41.000 A grand wizard, right?

02:38:43.000 But they have all these different uniforms with like dragons and they have all these different symbols on them.

02:38:48.000 I guess you can start calling me Grand Wizard Laura Loomer.

02:38:54.000 Should I get a wizard hat for my next episode of Loomer Unleashed?

02:38:59.000 Should I show up to the next episode of Loomer Unleashed decked out in a KKK Klansman outfit? 0.82

02:39:05.000 Because honestly, this is just so hysterical and so funny to me.

02:39:09.000 Last time I checked, the KKK didn't let Jewish people join.

02:39:15.000 I don't know.

02:39:19.000 Let's go to Google and look at Klansman outfits.

02:39:23.000 Maybe my viewers can help me pick one out.

02:39:30.000 Oh, the red one.

02:39:31.000 Look at the red one over there.

02:39:32.000 That's going to match my red hair.

02:39:37.000 That one looks interesting.

02:39:38.000 Like a little cone head with the eyes carved out.

02:39:41.000 Thank you.

02:39:46.000 Yeah, last time I checked, Jewish people weren't allowed in the KKK, so maybe they have changed their application standards, or maybe they have changed their terms of membership.

02:39:58.000 But according to MSNBC, I'm now a Klansman.

02:40:02.000 But hey, if I'm gonna be like the top Klansman, according to Christopher Matthias over at MSNBC, I might as well be a Grand Wizard.

02:40:10.000 Am I right?

02:40:12.000 Let's go down.

02:40:14.000 I want to hear what everyone in the chat has to think about my perspective wardrobe.

02:40:19.000 Grand Dragon.

02:40:23.000 Yeah. Maybe I can call Ye.

02:40:27.000 You know, I do have Ye's number. 0.90

02:40:28.000 I could call Ye. 0.96

02:40:30.000 You remember Ye?

02:40:31.000 Kanye West?

02:40:32.000 You'll be like, yo, yay, let me borrow your KKK outfit. 0.92

02:40:35.000 *laughter*

02:40:41.000 Oh my god.

02:40:42.000 And then tomorrow, watch, it's gonna be like, Trump ally Laura Loomer says that she has aspirations to become a KKK grand wizard. 0.96

02:40:54.000 ally laura loomer said that she wanted to call her good friend yay west to borrow his kkk klansman outfit

02:41:02.000 Like, I was joking the other day on Loomer Unleashed that, because I used the term uppity black to describe John Hope Bryant, right, after he was invited to the Treasury by Scott Bessent, and I was like, watch.

02:41:15.000 Shout out to the Media Matters Clipper, who is watching this episode right now, who's going to do an article about how I called John Hope Bryan, an uppity black man, and how I basically said Josh Shapiro had nobody to blame but himself for the fires. 0.62

02:41:32.000 And I swear to God, I think we can even get this pulled up right now.

02:41:35.000 If you go to Google and you type in Laura Loomer Media Matters, they literally wrote those two articles.

02:41:40.000 It's almost like they were watching live.

02:41:42.000 I swear they must have like a designated media clipper.

02:41:45.000 If you type in...

02:41:46.000 Laura Loomer Media Matters.

02:41:47.000 They wrote two articles and it was exactly that.

02:41:50.000 Go to News.

02:41:51.000 Click on New.

02:41:54.000 Here we go.

02:41:56.000 See, like literally word for word.

02:41:58.000 Laura Loomer called CEO John Hope Bryant uppity and DEI Hire.

02:42:02.000 And then go back to the other page.

02:42:04.000 Trump ally Laura Loomer blames Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for arson attack.

02:42:08.000 It's so funny because I literally said, watch, this is what they're going to say about me.

02:42:12.000 They're going to try to blame me and say that it's my fault or take those parts where I was obviously baiting media matters.

02:42:27.000 I don't know.

02:42:29.000 I guess we'll have to see.

02:42:31.000 We'll have to see how long it takes them to write an article saying Trump ally Laura Loomer says that she has aspirations to become the next Grand Wizard of the KKK. 0.99

02:42:42.000 You just have to mock these people because they're so retarded. 1.00

02:42:44.000 You know, like, obviously I'm not a member of the KKK. 0.99

02:42:47.000 Obviously I would never even be allowed to join the KKK because I'm Jewish, but hey.

02:42:54.000 Whatever. If MSNBC wants to entertain the idea that I'm a white vigilante, then I suppose I can entertain their, their, their, their, I don't know what to call it.

02:43:07.000 I don't know.

02:43:07.000 Hysteria? Manic episode?

02:43:10.000 What are we going to call it?

02:43:12.000 Is it hysteria, a manic episode, delusions of grandeur?

02:43:15.000 I don't know.

02:43:16.000 Schizophrenia? What do we call this?

02:43:18.000 The MSNBC reporters accusing me of having aspirations to be a KKK member white vigilante.

02:43:27.000 I don't even know. 1.00

02:43:28.000 These people are just so fucked up. 1.00

02:43:30.000 Let's go to the chat. 1.00

02:43:32.000 Let's go to the chat.

02:43:40.000 Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

02:43:42.000 Or I could also just wear a burka.

02:43:44.000 Same thing, right? 0.83

02:43:46.000 White supremacy, Sharia supremacy. 1.00

02:43:49.000 What's the difference?

02:43:50.000 Am I right?

02:43:53.000 Let's see.

02:43:54.000 Any questions?

02:43:55.000 Let's scroll up for questions.
