On this episode of Loomer Unleashed, host Laura LoLooper unearths yet another piece of evidence that points fingers at Qatar and their funding of the anti-Semitic activities at Georgetown University. In addition, Rep. Lisa McLean and her staff attend a 4th of July celebration hosted by the Embassy of Qatar.
00:26:44.000I have so many stories that I've broken this week.
00:26:47.000We didn't have Loomer Unleashed last night.
00:26:49.000Usually it's Tuesday and Thursday, but I was feeling a little bit under the weather and I'm feeling a lot better today.
00:26:54.000So thanks to those of you who wished me, wished me well.
00:26:59.000We're just going to dive right in because there are so many stories that I broke this week, but probably one of the most damning stories that I broke came on Monday when I reported the fact that GOP Congresswoman Lisa McLean,
00:27:15.000who serves as the GOP conference chair, she and her staff leaked a memo with talking points to the Qataris ahead of the hearing in the Education and Workforce Committee in Congress, where they were set to be discussing yesterday anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:27:37.000Well, because we know that Qatar is the largest, or if not the largest, one of the largest behind China, of course, donors in terms of foreign donors to American universities and college campuses.
00:27:50.000And essentially, these committees are supposed to be private and confidential.
00:27:56.000The discussions between the members on these committees are supposed to be private and confidential until the hearings take place.
00:28:02.000And they were discussing amongst themselves, this is what my source told me, is that they were discussing questions ahead of time amongst themselves about how they were going to be focusing on Qatar and specifically Qatar's financing of Georgetown University located in Washington, D.C.,
00:28:18.000and how Georgetown has since allowed for a culture of anti-Semitism, Jew hatred, and pro-Hamas activity to fester on campus ever since they received millions of dollars in contributions from the Qataris.
00:28:34.000And if you watch my show and you've been following me, then you know that I'm no stranger to talking about Qatar.
00:28:41.000The news media went crazy when I was critical about President Trump's trip to Qatar and the whole debacle over the plane.
00:28:49.000They obviously took my words out of context because they were trying to create division between me and President Trump.
00:28:55.000And I can assure you that there's no division or any type of conflict that exists between myself or President Donald Trump.
00:29:04.000But I was outspoken about this because the Qataris are jihadis in suits.
00:29:09.000And Qatar is one of the largest financiers of Hamas and Hezbollah, these Iranian proxies, the same Iranian proxies that are threatening to assassinate President Trump.
00:29:19.000And so you can see here, this is the report I put out.
00:29:24.000On July 4th, Representative McClain and her team attended the annual 4th of July celebration hosted by the Embassy of Qatar to mark America's Independence Day.
00:29:33.000Nothing says happy birthday, America, like partying with the funders of Hamas and leaking congressional memos to Islamic jihadists from Qatar so that the Muslim professors and the anti-Jewish professors at American universities can get questions ahead of time.
00:29:47.000Rep Lisa McLean was captured in a number of Instagram videos and photos dancing and toasting with attendees.
00:29:54.000Photos from the event also show Representative McLean's staff in attendance, including her Jordanian chief of staff, Nick Hawatme, that's how you pronounce his name, who has now made his ex-account private.
00:30:07.000So since this investigation and since my report, both of the staffers for Lisa McClain, Nick, who obviously is her chief of staff, but also her press secretary, have locked down their social media accounts.
00:30:23.000And as I always say, the only reason why you would lock down your social media accounts is if you have something to hide.
00:30:28.000And of course, since I dug up all these receipts and I have the Instagram videos and I have the photos and, you know, I have the evidence from the FARA records that I dug up that prove that Lisa McClain's staff had to register as foreign agents for Qatar in Farah because they traveled there multiple times, like upwards of four times last year alone.
00:30:49.000Why is the chief of staff for a Republican member of Congress from Michigan who now serves as a GOP caucus chair?
00:30:56.000The job that used to be at least Stephonix, why are they going to Qatar?
00:31:01.000And then I started looking at some more and turns out that Lisa McLean herself went to Qatar in 2021 on a trip with, let's, you know, here's the real kicker, okay?
00:31:10.000Ruben Gallego, Trump hating, radical leftist, pro-open borders, cartel-affiliated senator from Arizona, and Eric Swalwell.
00:31:18.000Remember Eric Swalwell, who had sex with a Chinese spy?
00:31:22.000So that's who she decided to go to Qatar with.
00:31:26.000So it's just, you know, totally crazy.
00:31:28.000Why is the GOP conference chair traveling to Qatar with some of the most anti-Republican and anti-Trump members of Congress in the U.S. Senate?
00:32:05.000So you have to ask yourself, you know, is the GOP completely compromised by Qatar?
00:32:12.000Are they basically bought out by Qatar?
00:32:16.000Why would the GOP conference chair be leaking the questions that are going to be asked of the universities about Qatar to the Qatari embassy and Qatari officials ahead of time?
00:32:29.000Not to mention, When this hearing was taking place as a form of intimidation, Qatar sent all of their lobbyists here in the U.S. to sit in the front row.
00:32:38.000So you had Qatari embassy officials and Qatar's lobbyists literally sitting in the front row of this hearing on anti-Semitism in Congress, where they were supposedly, you know, supposed to have unscripted questions.
00:32:56.000When I say unscripted, like they were not supposed to know ahead of time what the questions were, but because of Lisa McClain, because of Lisa McClain's staff, they leaked the questions to the Qataris ahead of time.
00:33:07.000And then the Qataris actually sent out a memo to their lobbyists ahead of the hearing so that they could counter the questions and counter the talking points and the evidence that was going to be brought up by the other committee members.
00:33:22.000And I was actually able to exclusively obtain a copy of the of the original memo.
00:33:29.000This is the exclusive email that was sent out, the memo that was sent by the Embassy of Qatar to their lobbyists and several congressional staffers here in the United States prior, right, in preparation for this hearing, because they didn't want to be caught off guard, mind you, leaking to a foreign nation, leaking to adversaries.
00:33:51.000And I say there are adversaries because I'm not going to be gaslit just because we have a U.S. military base in Qatar.
00:33:58.000I'm not going to be gaslit into thinking or believing that Qatar is our ally when Qatar is funding Hamas and they're giving safe haven to Hamas and they're supporting Hezbollah and they're supporting Iran.
00:34:10.000You know, the same Iran that tried to assassinate President Trump multiple times.
00:34:14.000So here, we're going to go through this memo so that you can see yourself.
00:34:17.000And let's go to the chat before we do that because I want to see what people are saying.
00:34:22.000You know, we hear about the so-called Jewish lobby and the Israeli lobby.
00:34:26.000And look, I'm not denying that Israel has the lobby.
00:34:30.000I'm not denying that APAC shoves around a lot of money and that Israel has their own interests that lobby people as well.
00:34:37.000But I've never seen a memo go out where Israel is given questions ahead of time or Israel is tipped off to any type of questioning whatsoever beforehand so that they could counter United States members of Congress and their questioning, right?
00:34:54.000And Lisa McClain should not only resign from Congress because of this, she should have to step down as the chair of the GOP caucus.
00:35:05.000So she should have to definitely step down.
00:35:09.000I don't think that this is even up for debate.
00:35:11.000I think that the conference chair, Lisa McLean, has not only shown that she has disdain for Jewish people by leaking questions to Qatari Islamic jihadists who fund Islamic terrorism, but it's safe to say that this is an act of treason.
00:35:27.000And she has shown that she is willing to sell her fellow American out and sell her country out for the sake of being in good favor with the Qataris and getting invited to all of these, you know, Ritzy parties that are hosted by Qatar.
00:35:42.000I would never go to an embassy party hosted by Qatar.
00:35:44.000I would never go to anything hosted by Qatar.
00:35:46.000I have no desire to even go to Qatar because these people, these people are dirty.
00:36:07.000There's a reason why the Qataris own some of the most expensive real estate in Washington, D.C. Why do you think that is?
00:36:14.000Don't you think it's weird that the Qataris own some of the most exclusive and expensive real estate just blocks away from the White House?
00:36:23.000Why do you think Qatar is always hosting and financing all the parties in Washington, D.C. for Republicans and Democrats?
00:36:29.000Because they don't want the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated as a terrorist organization.
00:36:34.000And this is why we're not seeing the Muslim Brotherhood get designated as a terrorist organization, even though how many years have I been talking about this?
00:36:43.000How many years have I been saying we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization?
00:36:49.000I've been saying this for a very long time.
00:36:51.000And I was up in Washington, D.C. about a month and a half ago talking to members of Congress about the need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:37:02.000Jared Mosquiz comes out and then agrees with me and says that he needs to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:37:07.000Senator Ted Cruz also yesterday announced his reintroduction of his Senate bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:37:17.000President Donald Trump said during his first administration that he was going to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:37:22.000This was a promise made, but it was a promise that was not kept.
00:37:25.000So I want to know why the Muslim Brotherhood has not been designated as a terrorist organization.
00:37:33.000Why are we allowing for these jihadis to operate on U.S. soil and get tax deductions, 501c3 status, tax deductions for their anti-American, anti-Trump, and anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Christian activity?
00:37:49.000The guy who firebombed all those Jews in Colorado and tragically one of those women passed away just last week.
00:37:56.000He was a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist here illegally in our country.
00:37:59.000So we've seen that the Muslim Brotherhood has activated their terror cells here in the United States of America.
00:38:06.000And guarantee you, every single Muslim organization here in America has an affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood if they themselves are not the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:38:18.000And when you see all these members of Congress getting invited to all these parties constantly and all these members of Congress who are getting special treatment and they're going to parties on the 4th of July, why would you go to the embassy of Qatar on 4th of July?
00:38:34.000Like, why would you want to spend time with a bunch of radical Muslims on 4th of July at another country's embassy?
00:38:40.000You're in Washington, D.C., where they had a fireworks show at the White House and the presidents of the United States invited members of Congress and members of the administration to the White House.
00:38:51.000How un-American is Lisa McClain, the GOP conference chair, to attend the Qatari embassy party over the White House celebration of Independence Day At the White House.
00:39:01.000She literally chose to go to Qatar's party at the Spy Museum.
00:39:23.000And if you've been following the reporting for some time, then you know that several years ago, my producer and I, we went to Washington, D.C., and we staked out the spy museum where a lot of these officials who were involved in stealing the 2020 election with Zuckerberg's money, along with a lot of these anti-Trump secretaries of state, were at the Washington, D.C. Spy Museum holding their event for how they were going to try to stop Trump with lawfare.
00:40:37.000And you can actually, they have the fifth floor, stealing secrets, come face to face with spies and spy masters, gadget makers, scientists, and engineers.
00:40:52.000She's linking questions ahead of a congressional hearing to the Qataris, foreign agents from Qatar with her staff, one of whom claims to be a Catholic, but I'm pretty sure he's a Muslim.
00:41:48.000And then, you know, she's drunk as a skunk dancing.
00:41:51.000I'm going to play that video for you momentarily.
00:41:53.000And then shortly after, the Qataris get access to these questions that she was supposed to keep confidential from other members on the committee.
00:42:04.000So let's go ahead and play this video of Lisa McClain, drunk as hell.
00:42:10.000This video was posted on Instagram by a woman by the name of Pascal Karam, who is like a luxury real estate agent in the Washington, D.C. area.
00:42:20.000I don't know if she's Qatari, but she hangs out with the Qataris according to her Instagram a lot.
00:42:26.000And you can see here, annual 4th of July celebration hosted by the Embassy of Qatar, rooftop at the Spy Museum with chairwoman Lisa McLean and her amazing team.
00:42:58.000Yes, that is a member of Congress dancing with Qatari foreign nationals at the SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on 4th of July, while all of her colleagues and the president were just several blocks away at the White House.
00:43:10.000So, you know, you have to ask yourself, what is the GOP conference chair doing hanging out with the funders of Hamas?
00:43:15.000Hamas' sugar daddies instead of the president of the United States and the first lady.
00:43:19.000I mean, if you were to say, hey, Laura, you got two options.
00:43:23.000You're going to go hang out with Trump at the White House and watch fireworks with President Trump and Melania Trump, or you're going to go to the Qatari embassy party at the Spy Museum.
00:43:31.000Like, I wouldn't even need to think twice.
00:43:33.000Of course, I'm going to go to the White House, right?
00:43:34.000Of course, I'm going to go watch fireworks with President Trump.
00:43:37.000I mean, any American should say the same thing.
00:43:39.000Unless you're a traitor to your country, you would go choose to go hang out at Qatari's, at the Qatari's party at the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. So let's play this clip again.
00:43:49.000You can see how she's like dancing and her, you know, her, her cutoff dress.
00:44:03.000But we're going to play this clip and then I'm going to show you the fireworks clip too.
00:44:07.000So you can see that people will say, oh, well, you know, what if she went after President Trump's event?
00:44:12.000Like, how do you know she didn't go after President Trump's event?
00:44:15.000Maybe she was at the White House with the president.
00:44:16.000No, because you're going to see the fireworks show and the fireworks show that she is watching and taking video of is President Trump's fireworks show.
00:44:25.000So she chose to watch fireworks with the Embassy of Qatar at the Spy Museum on their rooftop party when she could have gone to the White House fireworks show.
00:44:34.000And I know a lot of people who were at the White House on 4th of July, trust me, I know a lot of people who were there.
00:44:39.000And that was open to members of Congress.
00:44:42.000So, you know, she chose Qataris over Trump.
00:46:22.000From Pascal's Instagram account, annual 4th of July celebration hosted by the Embassy of Qatar rooftop at the Spy Museum with chairwoman Lisa McLean and her amazing team.
00:46:51.000So this is her chief of staff, Nick, the guy in the middle.
00:46:56.000And we're going to show you his social media soon, too.
00:46:59.000He has since locked his socials down since I released this story.
00:47:02.000And mind you, the video that I posted that I exclusively obtained of her dancing on the rooftop of the Spy Museum with the Qataris has over 3 million views.
00:47:13.000Let's go to the tweet and see how many views it has right now.
00:48:42.000I obtained the memo that was sent out by Qatar to their lobbyists ahead of this hearing.
00:48:47.000And we're going to go through the memo so that you can see.
00:48:49.000So it says here, I have the entire memo that Qatar sent out after McLean and her staffers late to the Qataris that questions about Qatar's financing of U.S. colleges and universities would be asked during the anti-Semitism hearing.
00:49:02.000Let's go ahead and get those images pulled up.
00:49:44.000So this was sent four days before the hearing.
00:49:48.000Ahead of the July 15th hearing before the Committee on Education and Workforce, Anti-Semitism in Higher Education, examining the role of faculty funding in etiology, you should be aware of many important factual misstatements in the pre-hearing memorandum circulated by committee staff today.
00:50:04.000The Embassy of Qatar fully respects the committee's work and does not presume to advise any member or committee on any manner.
00:50:20.000If you are not trying to advise any member on any manner, why are you sending out a foreign memo to lobbyists whose job it is they get paid to go advise or try to presume or come to some kind of conclusion with a member of Congress on how they should present themselves on a particular matter?
00:50:41.000So again, clearly they're lying from the onset.
00:50:46.000This whole entire nine-page memo is just full bullshit and lies, but that's all you get when you deal with the Qataris, right?
00:50:53.000Okay, so we've already determined this is a lie.
00:50:56.000Similarly, as the embassy has said before, the subjects of this hearing are matters of domestic policy that do not concern Qatar.
00:51:03.000Actually, domestic policy does concern Qatar when Qatar is the one that's financing Black Lives Matter rallies, Antifa rallies, and pro-Palestinian riots on college campuses that are endangering American citizens on U.S. soil.
00:51:16.000So two instances of gaslighting and two lies within the first paragraph of this memo.
00:52:51.000Citing extremist organizations like the Institute for the Global Study of Anti-Semitism and Policy and the Foundation for Defense and Democracies.
00:53:01.000Those are not extremist organizations.
00:53:04.000Both are well-known advocates for foreign interests hostile to the U.S.-Qatar bilateral relationship, and both are active in seeking to undermine ongoing U.S.-Qatar diplomatic collaboration to peacefully resolve conflicts in Gaza, Iran, and elsewhere.
00:53:18.000Okay, that's a third lie because nothing is peaceful about what these Muslims are doing in Gaza, Iran, or elsewhere, which is why they are opposed to this bilateral relationship.
00:53:30.000ISGAP is reported by media sources to be a foreign-funded organization whose leadership includes a former senior intelligence officer of a foreign state.
00:53:39.000Despite this and its active advocacy campaigns on Capitol Hill, ISGAP has not registered as a foreign agent and has not disclosed its donors.
00:53:47.000Well, maybe Lisa McLean should register as a foreign agent, right?
00:53:52.000The important work of your committee should not be trivialized by repeating misinformation.
00:54:03.000It is a fact that Qatar gave money to Georgetown.
00:54:07.000This also has consequences for important U.S. interests.
00:54:10.000President Trump's recent visit to Qatar reinforced the strength of the U.S.-Qatar alliance.
00:54:14.000This included the long-standing presence in Qatar of 10,000 U.S. troops and more recently, the joint deployment of U.S. and Qatari forces to intercept hostile weapons.
00:54:25.000On June 23rd, Qatar was attacked by Iranian missiles precisely because of our alliance with the United States.
00:54:30.000As this message is written, President Trump's team is working directly with Qatar to resolve the Gaza crisis.
00:54:50.000The pre-hearing memorandum makes the absurd suggestion that Qatar is a hostile state supporting groups that seek to destroy Israel and harm the United States.
00:55:49.000The Hamas political office is in Qatar because the United States and indeed Israel actively sought Qatar's assistance to act as mediator through multiple regional crises, including the most recent conflict in Gaza.
00:56:02.000Accusations about Qatar's support for Hamas have been refuted by no less than the Prime Minister of Israel.
00:56:09.000In his 2024 interview in Time magazine, Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected the accusation that Qatar bankrolled Hamas.
00:56:33.000It was, in fact, supporting the civilian administration that was run by various officials, many of them non-Hamas.
00:56:39.000But the reason that successive Israeli governments agreed to that is that we wanted to make sure that Gaza has a functioning civilian administration to avoid humanitarian collapse.
00:56:56.000This same point was repeated in the New York Times today, reporting that Prime Minister Netanyahu had been encouraging the Qatari government to send more than $1 billion in economic aid to Gaza.
00:57:04.000Well, if you're going to be financing Hamas, yeah, I mean, you might as well go send aid to Gaza, right?
00:57:10.000Hamas is holding these people hostage.
00:57:13.000Then why don't you go send them economic aid?
00:58:09.000Our mediation in the present crisis is continuing in close partnership with the White House.
00:58:13.000While there is more work to be done, we remain committed and proud of what has been accomplished with Qatar's mediation, including most recently the release of the last living American hostage in Gaza, Aidan Alexander.
00:58:24.000Yeah, they could have encouraged him to be released years, like over a year ago, but they allowed for the leaders of Hamas to go luxury shopping in Doha, and they didn't do anything to pressure the release of Aidan Alexander or any of these other hostages, so they're trying to pat themselves on the back.
00:59:28.000In 2005, the Qatar Foundation and Georgetown University agreed to establish a Georgetown campus in Doha, providing degree programs to women and men in Qatar.
00:59:36.000By contract, Georgetown has complete academic independence in operating its Doha campus.
00:59:41.000Since the partnership began, Doha has received $952.9 million from Qatar.
00:59:47.000Georgetown has received $952.9 million from Qatar to operate the campus in Doha, an average of $47.6 million per year.
01:00:04.000Georgetown's operating revenue in the year of 2024 was $1.8 billion.
01:00:11.000Qatar's contract payments amount to just 2.6% of that total.
01:00:17.000Further, over 90% of those funds are spent in Qatar to run the Georgetown campus in Qatar.
01:00:23.000Less than 10% is retained by Georgetown.
01:00:26.000Apart from the fact that there is no evidence that Qatar influences anything about Georgetown's campuses in Doha or Washington, no one would take seriously the accusation that the small component of the university's considerable revenue represents a malign foreign influence campaign.
01:00:42.000Well, obviously not no one because members of Congress have identified.
01:01:06.000The U.S. Department of Education database of university income from foreign sources clearly shows that virtually all, 97% of the payments to U.S. universities from Qatar are contract payments to the six universities operating branch campuses in Doha.
01:01:22.000These payments fund the operating costs of the universities in Qatar.
01:01:26.000Based on Department of Education data since 1981 and excluding the operating costs to fund these Doha campuses, Qatari payments to all U.S. universities amounts to a total of $312.5 million.
01:01:38.000That would rank Qatar 35th globally, just behind Thailand.
01:01:44.000The fight against terrorism is a high priority for the state of Qatar, which has made tremendous contributions on regional and international levels.
01:01:51.000The state of Qatar and the U.S. continue to increase CT counterterrorism cooperation, building on progress made after the U.S. Secretary of State and Qatari Foreign Minister signed a counterterrorism memorandum of understanding in July of 2017.
01:02:11.000The state of Qatar is a vital U.S. partner on a wide range of regional security issues and a member of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and active in countering violent extremism, particularly through its support to the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund.
01:02:26.000Qatar also provides critical resources and burden sharing at the Al-Udid Air Base, supporting U.S. and joint military operations throughout the Middle East.
01:02:35.000Qatar is among the United States' closest military partners in the region.
01:02:38.000Al-Udid Air Base is home to the Combined Air Operations Center, which hosts 18 nations and is responsible for all coalition air operations in the Middle East and Central Asia.
01:02:50.000The pre-hearing memorandum does not mention these facts.
01:02:53.000The Embassy of Qatar values its relationship with the United States and our close cooperation with many members of Congress to advance our shared interests.
01:03:01.000Okay, so they are advancing their own interests.
01:03:03.000Again, why is Lisa McLean trying to advance the interests of Qatar?
01:03:09.000As your committee continues its important work, we hope that your deliberations will insist on accuracy.
01:03:14.000The pre-hearing memorandum does not meet that test.
01:03:19.000Why was the pre-hearing memorandum leaked to them?
01:03:21.000The Embassy of Qatar values its relationship with the United States and our close cooperation with many members of Congress to advance our shared interests.
01:03:29.000As your committee continues its important work, we hope that your deliberations will insist on accuracy.
01:03:35.000The pre-hearing memorandum does not meet that test.
01:03:37.000Again, sincerely, the Embassy of the State of Qatar, Congressional Affairs Department.
01:04:03.000And we can get questions and comments in the chat from people who are watching.
01:04:07.000That's 25 lies in this nine-page email that was sent from the Qataris, foreign agents, Qatari foreign agents, to their lobbyists and the staffers of members of Congress to try to influence their line of questioning or to kill off their line of questioning ahead of this hearing that took place on Tuesday.
01:06:18.000I'm also on X at Laura Loomer and X at Loomer Unleashed.

01:08:43.000Our continued coverage of Lisa McLean and her staff.
01:08:47.000I'm going to show you her staffer, her chief of staff.
01:08:50.000We're going to go through the thread that I posted and you can see for yourself the rest of this before we move on to some of these other stories tonight.
01:08:56.000Again, we are live, so please be sure that you're reposting the live link, rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
01:09:02.000Also, repost the live link on X, Laura Loomer, or at Loomer Unleashed.
01:09:08.000We have over 50,000 people watching live right now.
01:09:13.000Everybody needs to see this information.
01:09:14.000And some people in the chat are asking, what can I do about this?
01:09:18.000Well, you can call your members of Congress and you can ask them to speak out about Lisa McLean.
01:09:23.000You can also encourage your Republican members of Congress to not support her as the conference chair.
01:09:28.000Why should this woman be conference chair when she is leaking information in congressional memos to the Qataris?
01:09:38.000Why is she hanging out with the Qataris on Independence Day instead of going to the White House with Donald Trump, with all the other members of Congress?
01:09:48.000Following my exclusive report about how the GOP conference chair and her staff linked internal committee questions for tomorrow's anti-Semitism hearing to Qatar ahead of time, her chief of staff, Nick Hawatme, who is Jordanian, kind of weird.
01:10:00.000Why do you have a Jordanian chief of staff when you're the GOP conference chair, has locked down all of his social media and made his social media accounts private?
01:10:10.000Nick claims to be a Catholic, but he's Jordanian, and before he locked his social media down, I captured photos from his Instagram of him in full Islamic garb.
01:10:20.000Why does the GOP conference chair have an Islamist sympathizer as her chief of staff who can't stop traveling to the Middle East?
01:12:51.000Doesn't it concern anybody that the chief of staff or the GOP conference chair, Lisa McLean, has a guy working for her who can't seem to stop traveling to the Middle East?
01:13:03.000Says he's a Catholic, but he's dressed like a Muslim.
01:14:36.000But he had a lot of Jewish or Jewish relics in his office, very pro-Jewish, very pro-Israel.
01:14:43.000And he told me that Nick's sister was very uncomfortable when she went into the office, George Santos' office, and saw all of the Jewish relics.
01:14:54.000And he said, oh, well, is everything okay?
01:14:57.000And she apparently said that she was her and her family, including Nick, she said that they were Jordanian and Palestinian, okay?
01:15:05.000Which is kind of like an oxymoron, given the fact that Palestinians are basically just displaced Jordanians.
01:15:12.000So, I mean, but besides the point, she identified herself and identified her family as Jordanian and Palestinian.
01:15:22.000And so Congressman Santos said, oh, so you're a Muslim.
01:15:26.000And she said, yes, my whole family is Muslim.
01:15:29.000So why would Nick be going around telling people that he's a Muslim when his sister is allegedly telling George Santos that they're all Muslim?
01:15:39.000Or excuse me, he's saying that he's Catholic, but the sister is going around saying that they're all Muslim.
01:15:45.000Why would the chief of staff or Lisa McLean say he's a Catholic when his sister is going around telling other members of Congress that she and her brother and their entire family are Muslims?
01:16:11.000You know, I think it's a little weird.
01:16:13.000And some people will say, oh, well, that's Islamophobic.
01:16:17.000Well, you know, when Muslims are going around firebombing people in Colorado and they're chanting globalized antifada, like our new friend Zoran Mandami running for mayor in New York City, and they're chanting death to America and they're raising the Hamas and the Hezbollah flag outside the White House.
01:16:37.000I say that there's something wrong with you if you don't call yourself Islamophobic at this point in time.
01:16:43.000And I'm not going to apologize if people get offended.
01:16:46.000I don't give a shit if that offends you.
01:16:48.000If you're not a tad bit is llamophobic, whatever the hell that means, after seeing this type of behavior, are you really even America first?
01:17:32.000Why are Rep Lisa McClain and her staff running cover for pro-terror Muslims who spend their money financing attacks on Jews both in the United States and abroad?
01:17:40.000Qatar is a state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, and they have flooded our universities with billions of dollars over the years for the purpose of pushing Islamic propaganda and discord on campuses in support of communist and Islamist movements.
01:17:51.000This is a horrible look for the GOP and Rep Lisa McClain needs to step down.
01:17:56.000She's literally committing treason in support of Islamic jihadists who fund Hamas.
01:19:30.000Now, I made news over the weekend because I was the first to report and I exclusively reported last week that Dan Bongino, I believe on Friday, didn't go into work because he was taking the day off because he was unhappy with Scam Blondie, as I call her.
01:20:30.000President Trump's not firing Pam Blondie.
01:20:33.000In fact, he posted a true social post telling people to stop attacking Pam Blondie.
01:20:39.000Just, you know, getting mixed reviews and whatnot.
01:20:43.000But I spoke with a White House staffer, and the White House staffer told me that my report was completely accurate.
01:20:51.000They told me that Dan Bongino was going to resign.
01:20:56.000So the report was 100% accurate, and even the other media entities were able to confirm it.
01:21:02.000And so let's go ahead and play these clips of the mainstream media finally recognizing my work and actually admitting that I got the scoop first.
01:21:10.000And, you know, now this is kind of like turned into a very chaotic situation because people are now very pissed off that Pam Blondie has not released the Epstein files.
01:21:24.000And, you know, I've called for a special counsel.
01:21:26.000I think that this is a distraction to all of the really great work that Donald Trump is doing on a daily basis to make America great again, make America safe again, all the great trade deals that he's accomplishing, everything that he's doing to stop the flow of illegal aliens and fentanyl into our country.
01:21:42.000Just amazing work that President Trump is doing.
01:21:45.000He's the best president we've ever had in our country, the best president in my lifetime.
01:21:49.000That being said, though, two things can be true at the same time.
01:21:54.000President Trump has called this a hoax, and he said that it's just like Russia Gate.
01:22:01.000It's obviously not entirely a hoax, given the fact that Ghelane Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison from her time as an associate and the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, who's a pedophile.
01:22:18.000What do I think President Trump means when he says it's a hoax?
01:22:20.000I think that what he's talking about is how everybody's just so focused on Epstein that it's allowing for the media to only focus on one issue.
01:22:29.000Kind of like the hoaxes of the Steele dossier and the Russian prostitute pee-pee tapes and Russia collusion, all of these hoaxes, right?
01:22:41.000I think what President Trump is talking about when he says hoax is this obsessive, compulsive nature of the fake news media to latch onto a negative story about the president and to just not stop talking about it.
01:22:55.000And to just talk about it every single day, despite, you know, horrible things happening in the news, horrible tragedies, right?
01:23:02.000So for example, under the first Trump administration, President Trump was able to do a lot of great things, right?
01:23:26.000But what does the media talk about, right?
01:23:27.000The entire time that President Trump was president, you didn't really hear much coverage about all of the amazing things that he accomplished.
01:23:35.000Just Russia gate this, Russia gate that.
01:23:38.000Every single night on Rachel Maddow, every single night on MSNBC and CNN, it was just Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
01:23:53.000So that's what I think President Trump is talking about when he says it's a hoax is that he doesn't want all of the good work.
01:23:59.000Because trust me, I've been called a million times today from all types of reporters who are asking me what I think about the statement.
01:24:05.000It's obviously not a hoax, given the fact that Ghalain Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison.
01:24:11.000But I don't think that President Trump is saying it's a hoax.
01:24:14.000I'm saying he's, I believe, and my interpretation of this is that he's saying he doesn't want this to be another hoax, like an obsessive, compulsive media hoax campaign for four years where all they do is talk about something nonstop.
01:24:30.000And I'm not saying that you don't talk about it at all, but we have to learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time.
01:24:35.000You can't just only talk about Epstein, right?
01:24:38.000You can ask for a special counsel, and we can all agree that DOJ's handling of this has been abysmal, right?
01:24:45.000If you've been watching my show for a long time, you know that I was the first person to call for Pam Blani to resign.
01:24:50.000I was the first person to call for Pam Blani to resign.
01:24:53.000That being said, people need to learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time and be a little bit more grateful for all of the wins that President Trump is racking up for our country.
01:25:01.000Our country was on the verge of completely crumpling eight months ago.
01:25:06.000Western civilization was about to completely die.
01:25:14.000And we need to be a bit more grateful to President Trump and everything that he's doing to make our country and the world a better and safer place.
01:25:22.000So I don't believe that what President Trump is doing malicious.
01:25:25.000I do think that he's getting bad advice and bad advising as it relates to this issue.
01:25:35.000And I don't think that you can true social your way out of this one.
01:25:37.000In fact, I don't think it's ever going to go away unless we have a special counsel.
01:25:43.000But if I worked for the president and I do not work for President Trump, despite what the media says, I would tell him to stop talking about it on True Social because obviously the True Social posts are inflaming the situation.
01:26:03.000Now, nobody tells President Trump what to do, so I would suggest that he not post any more True Social posts about it because as you can see, the media is latching onto those True Social posts to continue this media circus instead of talking about all of the other things that he's doing.
01:26:20.000But I don't think that the True Social posts are helping.
01:26:23.000And look, I love, somebody said walk and chew gum.
01:26:26.000Yeah, it's a phrase, you know, walk and chew gum at the same time.
01:26:29.000Like you need to be able to do two things at once.
01:26:31.000It's a phrase for those of you who haven't heard the phrase, walk and chew gum.
01:26:36.000It means learn how to juggle and do more than one thing at the same time.
01:28:16.000So your strategy is to completely turn on President Trump and not vote in the midterms because you're upset that he didn't fire Pam Blondie or his administration had a disastrous handling?
01:28:27.000And I'm happy to admit that of the Epstein files.
01:29:19.000I know that Gurlain Maxwell is sitting in a jail cell in my home state of Florida where I used to be the attorney general, where I let Jeffrey Epstein get away with raping all those kids when I was attorney general.
01:29:35.000I could have stopped him when I was the attorney general of Florida, but I didn't stop him.
01:29:41.000But I really got ahead of myself when I was telling Sean and Ainslie and everybody over at Fox News on that nice, comfy, white couch that all these rich billionaires were getting on their private jets and getting out of the country.
01:29:54.000I really got ahead of myself when I said that those files are on my desk.
01:29:59.000They were delivered in a dump truck, you guys.
01:30:00.000I'll tell you, they were delivered in a dump truck.
01:30:20.000She lied on television and said that the files were on her desk and that she was going to deliver the files and that she was aware and got intel that billionaires and people on the list were getting on private jets and leaving the country.
01:30:33.000So again, I think that she should apologize.
01:31:36.000Reed Hoffman, who's a Jeffrey Epstein associate who continued to go to the island even after these allegations against Jeffrey Epstein came out.
01:31:55.000But come on, we're not going to sit here and make this the one talking point that we talk about every single day of the Trump administration.
01:32:04.000I mean, you're just handing the Democrats a victory going into the midterms.
01:32:08.000We can express our dissatisfaction with Pam Blondie and we can hope that President Trump will appoint a special counsel to investigate this and that hopefully he'll realize that a lot of his base is upset about it.
01:32:20.000But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
01:32:22.000I'm getting so tired of seeing people online saying that they're not going to support Trump anymore.
01:32:27.000They're not going to vote in the midterms.
01:32:29.000They're not going to get people out to vote.
01:32:36.000We worked our asses off to get Donald Trump back into the White House.
01:33:20.000The only people who are jealous are the people who do not have my political acumen and my ability to call this stuff out months or sometimes years before it happens.
01:33:28.000I've said it over and over and over again.
01:33:32.000I always said that Pam Blondie was going to create a big scandal for the Trump administration.
01:33:37.000And everything that I said was completely true.
01:33:40.000Everything I've said was completely true.
01:33:42.000Let's go ahead and play some of these clips as promised of different members of the mainstream media talking about my reporting.
01:33:50.000And I think it's kind of humorous in a sense because, you know, for years they ignored me and they acted like I wasn't relevant and they said that I wasn't breaking news.
01:34:09.000And I'm not someone who used to think that Laura Loomer was something I had to follow to cover Trump as president.
01:34:18.000But she clearly has a lot of sway with Trump when it comes to key national security posts.
01:34:22.000She has posted today that Dan Bongino might quit over the Epstein debacle.
01:34:27.000And Adam, I know you've been tracking this as well.
01:34:30.000Todd Blanche has tweeted, no, no, no, you know, basically grabbing them and throwing them into whatever sinking ship he's on, saying Bongino and Cash Protel were instrumental in helping us make the decisions we made about the Epstein files.
01:34:44.000Just talk about what's going on over the Epstein debacle at the Department of Justice and the FBI.
01:34:50.000He made a promise, and they need to keep him to it.
01:34:54.000So it will be interesting to see how does he worm his way out of this.
01:34:58.000Well, they're not even under the body.
01:35:01.000I mean, to your point, they're not really holding his feet to the fire.
01:35:05.000They're holding Pam Bondi's feet to the fire.
01:35:07.000I mean, listen to Laura Loomer talk about Pam Bondi.
01:35:13.000I'm just saying that there are a lot of people online right now and a lot of people in the base who are saying that they're done, that they're done because this is something that shouldn't even be a partisan issue.
01:35:38.000Is that what we're supposed to believe?
01:35:40.000Look, it's my opinion, multiple things can be true.
01:35:43.000It's highly likely the government is in possession of documents and information that have names on them that would be of extreme public interest.
01:35:53.000Number two, there may be a reason why they can't release it because there may be regulations and ethical reasons why you can't release things if you can't bring a case against someone.
01:36:04.000But number three, if that's the case, if that's the case, they're going to have to explain that a little better.
01:36:10.000There's going to have to be a little more transparency.
01:36:12.000I think they, listen, I think you, first of all, I think you're right about both of those things.
01:36:16.000One, if they're going to release a list, you better have some proof that this list is not just a list of names with no evidence attached to it.
01:36:25.000And secondly, if that is the case, they should explain that as opposed to just saying it doesn't exist.
01:36:30.000The idea that they're saying it doesn't exist is what's roiling the base.
01:37:24.000All right, let's get back to playing some of these clips.
01:37:29.000All right, with us now, senior political commentator Kate Benningfield and Maura Gillespie, founder and principal of Blue Strack Strategies.
01:37:36.000I want to shift gears if I can, because Overnight Politico just put out a story this morning that they did an interview with Laura Loomer, who's a conservative activist, a fierce supporter of President Trump, who's been highly critical of the Justice Department and their memo on Jeffrey Epstein, saying that there is no client list that they're going to release and they're not issuing anything else on it.
01:37:57.000Maura, Laura Loomer is calling for a special counsel now to investigate the Department of Justice handling around this.
01:38:04.000What would that do to quell the controversy?
01:38:07.000And why is this controversy so loud, Maura?
01:38:12.000The controversy is so loud because in either scenario, either Pam Bondi, Donald Trump, the Trump White House used this information to campaign on knowing that there was nothing there, or they are now covering something up.
01:38:26.000In the view of MAGA, those are the two options here that they need to decide which is worse.
01:38:30.000Do they lie to you and there's nothing there, or that they just used it to get an election win, or do they have something and they're covering it up?
01:38:37.000So either scenario doesn't seem very good for the MAGA base.
01:38:40.000But when it comes to Laura Loomer, she is not an elected official.
01:38:43.000She is not a member of the Republican Party leadership.
01:38:46.000So I don't take a whole lot of stock in what she says and does, considering her dangerous conspiracy theories and the like.
01:38:54.000So I do think though that her drawing attention to this, being such a loud voice in the MAGA world, could only further the problems that the president and his team will have.
01:39:03.000They continue to dismiss this Epstein stuff and pretend like it's not a big deal.
01:39:07.000Do you think more that a special counsel would dampen some of the spirits or the calls right now?
01:39:15.000It may if they actually took the attention to say, okay, let's look into this.
01:39:18.000But obviously there's something going on that the MAGA world does not find to be excusable.
01:39:24.000And so there has to be some sort of answer.
01:39:25.000They can't continue to push this away.
01:39:49.000Because I think there's a lot of questions still floating around there.
01:39:52.000So Kate, what is it the Democrats can and should do, do you think, about this?
01:39:58.000We have started to see some like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a congresswoman, come out and call for a certain level of transparency.
01:40:05.000What do you think the Democrats can do on their side?
01:40:09.000Well, I think it's certainly reasonable for the Democrats to push for additional transparency.
01:40:13.000This is a problem of Trump's own making.
01:40:16.000I mean, this is why I actually am not sure that a special counsel is going to solve the problem for Trump here, even if he does take Laura Loomer's advice, because he has created this problem by campaigning on making these files known to the public and then refusing to do it.
01:40:33.000And he's put himself right at the center of the decision making.
01:40:36.000I mean, we saw the Truth Social Post a couple of days ago.
01:40:39.000I think it was actually the first Truth Social Post has ever been ratioed for Donald Trump.
01:40:43.000I mean, the MAGA base is incredibly fired up about this.
01:40:46.000This is the first time we've seen them say they don't take him at his word.
01:40:51.000It's the first time we've seen him unable to successfully slough something off on someone else in his administration.
01:40:59.000He is really continuing to take the blame.
01:41:01.000And I think as long as he is saying to his base and to the country, we're not going to, you know, you should move on.
01:41:08.000You shouldn't talk about this anymore.
01:41:10.000We're not going to provide any more information.
01:41:12.000This is going to continue to go straight to him, whether it's Pam Bandi, Cash Patel, or a special counsel looking into it.
01:41:19.000So this is the first time he's really had to reckon with his base being unhappy with him in a way that he can't seem to wiggle out of.
01:41:25.000And Natalie, the president also receiving what appears to be massive backlash from his own base after the DOJ and FBI decided to withhold records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
01:41:37.000Help us understand what's happening there.
01:41:41.000Yeah, there's been this growing revolt within the MAGA base, really stoked by far-right social media personalities, including Laura Loomer, who's been calling for the resignation of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:41:55.000They are highly disappointed with the decision to withhold records and also the DOJ's statement that there's not a client list, despite previous comments that indicated more information could be coming.
01:42:09.000Well, President Trump over the weekend took to social media to defend A.G. Bondi, saying that she's doing a fantastic job.
01:42:17.000He even had her in his luxury box at the FIFA World Cup over the weekend in his sign that he is standing by her.
01:42:26.000But some in the MAGA movement have signaled that this issue, Errol, is not going away.
01:42:31.000Yeah, we're going to look at that more in depth later this hour as well.
01:42:36.000Meanwhile, the president is confronting a growing backlash over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with some of his own supporters now demanding that he fire Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:42:47.000NBC's senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson joins us with that part of the story.
01:42:53.000This is a rift, not just inside MAGO world, but inside the president's own administration too, with one top official considering leaving.
01:43:01.000The president now says of his number two at the FBI, he believes he's still in the job.
01:43:06.000But all of it, highlighting how the Epstein case has transformed into a political liability for President Trump as he tries to tamp down talk of a break in his base.
01:43:16.000President Trump today facing a revolt in the MAGA ranks over how his administration has handled the case of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein late Sunday trying to downplay dissatisfaction and backing his deputy FBI director Dan Bongino.
01:43:32.000I spoke to him today, Dan Bongino, and he sounded terrific, actually.
01:43:39.000Bongino considered resigning over the Epstein files after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to a source familiar with his interactions and another person who has spoken with him, the former podcaster, one of multiple Trump loyalists who had promoted conspiracies about Epstein's prison suicide six years ago,
01:43:59.000but in his new job, Acknowledging no cover-up, despite deep skepticism from others in the president's base at a conservative conference this weekend, that fury on full display.
01:44:10.000How many of you are satisfied you can clap?
01:44:15.000Satisfied with the results of the Epstein investigation?
01:44:24.000With calls to fire Bondi, the president bringing Bondi to a soccer match Sunday, defending her as fantastic online, and writing, what's going on with my boys and in some cases, gals, adding, people should not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.
01:44:42.000It comes after the DOJ released an unsigned two-page memo last week saying it would not make additional disclosures in the Epstein case, reaffirming Epstein was not murdered and adding he did not maintain a client list that he used to traffic underage girls, contradicting what Bondi told Fox News in February.
01:45:02.000The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.
01:45:07.000It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
01:45:10.000That's been a directive by President Trump.
01:45:13.000Bondi later saying she was referring to the Epstein files in general, as she is now squarely in the spotlight.
01:45:19.000Pam, if you can't do your job, we'll find someone who will.
01:45:25.000Now, far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer is calling for a special counsel to investigate the handling of the Epstein case, but the president has made clear he wants to move past this and that he's standing by his Attorney General for now.
01:45:39.000All right, our senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson force there.
01:45:42.000All right, this morning there is new criticism from the right on the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
01:45:48.000Politico is now reporting that conservative activist Laura Loomer is calling for the appointment of a special counsel to look into this.
01:45:56.000With us now, Congressman Mike Lawler, a Republican from New York.
01:45:59.000Congressman, thanks so much for being with us.
01:46:02.000What do you think a special counsel would accomplish, and how do you feel about it?
01:46:11.000Look, as I've said, I'm not exactly one to subscribe to conspiracy theories.
01:46:16.000So from my vantage point, if somebody committed a crime, if somebody affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein committed a crime, they should be prosecuted.
01:46:27.000In the absence of that, frankly, this seems like a colossal waste of time and effort and, frankly, a lot of nonsense.
01:46:37.000There are a lot of issues facing this country right now.
01:48:00.000And beyond that, what exactly are we looking for?
01:48:04.000Well, I just said, just so you know, it's being covered because the deputy director of the FBI is said to have taken off work on Friday to protest the Justice Department own handling of this.
01:48:14.000And there have been shouting matches reported inside the White House on this.
01:48:17.000So whether or not you think it's important, apparently there are people who are quite agitated about it.
01:48:28.000Jim, I don't want to dig too deep here, but let's dig deep just on why this matters so much to the MAGA base.
01:48:40.000Donald Trump, and we've all been saying this for years, Donald Trump has been sort of the vessel for millions and millions of Americans' distrust for what the federal government's done, what it hasn't done, what it said, what it hasn't said, the things that it's kept secret.
01:49:01.000I remember watching Ken Byrne's documentary and about halfway through looking at all the working class guys who had been lied to by the Johnson administration and the Nixon administration who were saying we can't win this war.
01:49:19.000And yet an entire generation scarred by Vietnam, then you follow up with Watergate, then you follow up.
01:49:25.000We can keep going through all the things that have happened.
01:49:29.000And there's just this cynicism about the federal government telling people.
01:49:35.000I mean, last week we had Mark Caputo on talking about how the CIA had been lying for 62 years about a guy who had, for the CIA, who had been dealing with Lee Harvey Oswald.
01:49:50.000So put this in a larger context, first of all, that this is not just about Jeffrey Epstein and it's not just about Donald Trump, but how Donald Trump is really a reaction to 50 years of distrust from the American people and that why this Epstein case may be cutting so hard into this base.
01:51:25.000You can't start a fire and then pretend you can put it out very easily.
01:51:29.000You can't have a decade of conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein and not think your base isn't going to say, wait a minute, what have we been talking about for the last decade?
01:51:39.000And so I think this is one of those stories, one of those things that can do real damage to a politician, no matter who it is, but especially Donald Trump.
01:51:49.000Well, and it also seems inextricable from part of the way that Trump got to office, right?
01:51:54.000We talk about the Manosphere, podcasting, influencers, all of this happening at that new media influencer event with the Binders, Vongino himself, a podcaster, Cash Patel himself, a podcaster.
01:52:06.000So Glenn, when it comes to the word cloud here around how Trump has been selling his personal truth-telling style, the two giant words have been Jeffrey Epstein through his surrogates, if not himself.
01:52:19.000So the legs here, do you see this sustaining given that the internet, I can tell you, the Manosphere, the dudes who talk about this stuff, they are saying stuff I've never heard them say before?
01:52:52.000You know, I would imagine we're going to start hearing some chatter probably from Bannon and others about 2028 again, because Trump, I think, and Stephen Miller acutely understand that the fact that we are moving from the gravitational force field of his November victory into the midterms, which are not looking that sunny for Republicans, and beyond.
01:53:18.000They don't necessarily involve the accrual of power as the president goes along.
01:53:24.000So I think a lot of these characters, and you saw that at turning point, are looking beyond Trump to see what Trumpism means for them.
01:53:32.000Because when you get right down to it, at least from the perspective of the individual players, Bondi, Bonginho, Patel, Laura Ingram, Megan Kelly, Charlie Kirk, all of these characters are now starting to think, huh, there is going to be an existence beyond Donald Trump.
01:53:52.000And how do we personally, in this environment, survive and capitalize in this inconceivable event that he will no longer be occupying the stage?
01:54:06.000So I think I've made myself very clear.
01:54:09.000I believe that there should be a special counsel.
01:54:11.000I don't want to have to waste more time with everybody bickering and lying about President Trump and trying to distract from all of his wins.
01:54:20.000Every day I'm focused on breaking stories that the media should be focused on.
01:54:24.000But no, they want to focus only on Jeffrey Epstein.
01:54:27.000Okay, admit that Pam Blondie screwed up.
01:54:29.000Appoint a special counsel and let's move on.
01:54:31.000Let's move on and talk about other things, all the amazing work that President Trump is doing, because I really don't want to lose the midterms in 2026 because the only thing Republicans want to talk about or the only thing the media wants to talk about is the Republicans' mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
01:54:47.000If this was such a focus too for the Democrats who are now talking about it, how come Joe Biden didn't release the Jeffrey Epstein files, right?
01:54:55.000So I'm sick of the gaslighting and we need to start talking about all of President Trump's wins.
01:55:09.000Today in Washington, D.C., Congresswoman AOC hosted an early morning breakfast for jihadi communist candidate Zoran Mandami.
01:55:21.000Loomer Unleash was the first publication to announce this event.
01:55:24.000We published the flyer online and Loomer Unleashed GC correspondent Charles Downs was up bright and early outside of the DNC club where this event was taking place this morning at 8 a.m.
01:55:37.000He got there bright and early at 6.30 a.m.
01:55:53.000Communication and organizing Skillshare Breakfast with AOC and Zorhan Wednesday, July 16th at 8 a.m.
01:56:00.000National Democrat Club, Washington, D.C. So Loomer Unleash was first on the scene, first to report this.
01:56:06.000And we have some clips of Loomer Unleashed DC correspondent Charles Downs confronting members of Congress as they arrived and as they were leaving the event about Zoran Mandami and whether or not they agree with his calls to globalize the Antifada.
01:56:22.000We have a clip of Congressman Jerry Nadler struggling to get out of a taxi cab.
01:57:26.000I think it's so funny how, you know, I write the questions, right?
01:57:30.000So Charles and I talk every day and, you know, we map this stuff out.
01:57:34.000And then I come up with the questions.
01:57:36.000And I'm like, okay, this is what the question is going to be, right?
01:57:38.000So I spoke with Charles and we're like, okay, the question's going to be ask them about whether or not they agree with AOC to globalize the Intifada.
01:57:46.000So Charles gets there and he's ready to ask the question.
01:57:50.000And then he asks the question and all these other reporters just start stealing our question and asking the same question.
02:00:30.000And then, of course, Loomer Unleashed today also confronted and caught up with Congresswoman AOC, who hosted this event for Zora Mandami today.
02:02:38.000Marxist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could face a libel lawsuit and be liable for millions of dollars after directly branding the president a rapist in an ex-post.
02:02:52.000Continuing the trend of Democrats suddenly caring about Jeffrey Epstein case after four years in power doing nothing, AOC wrote the following.
02:02:59.000Wow, who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein files?
02:05:15.000The DOJ fired Maureen Comey from the United States Attorney's Office from the Southern District of New York.
02:05:20.000She's the daughter of former disgraced FBI director James Comey.
02:05:24.000This wasn't the one I was talking about.
02:05:26.000I was talking about the Border Patrol official who I got fired today for, you know, being a Biden holdover.
02:05:31.000We'll get into that, but this is some interesting news that happened today.
02:05:34.000The DOJ fired Maureen Comey from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
02:05:39.000She's the daughter of former disgraced FBI director James Comey.
02:05:43.000This comes two months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondie to fire Comey's daughter and Comey's son-in-law from the DOJ.
02:05:50.000And you can see if you click on the sources there, if you recall months ago, I was railing against Pam Blondie for not firing James Comey's daughter, his daughter and his son-in-law.
02:06:01.000So I said, did you know that Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, serves as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York where she heads the Violent and Organized Crime Unit?
02:06:11.000She's been with the SDNY since 2015 and has prosecuted high-profile cases, including those involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghalaine Maxwell, and currently Sean Diddy Combs.
02:06:27.000He also works at the current Trump DOJ despite a long history of being a Trump hater.
02:06:32.000He is the Assistant U.S. Attorney at SDNY working in the civil division since 2019.
02:06:38.000Their roles involve significant responsibilities in federal prosecutions and civil litigation, respectfully under the Department of Justice, which is currently being led by the ever-incompetent Attorney General Pam Blondie.
02:07:27.000It just, you know, sometimes I try and I look things up about Pam Blondie and I'll be typing and I'm like, oh crap, I said blondie, not Bondie.
02:07:35.000And so even when I try to tag her on X on her official account, because, you know, she has me blocked from her personal account, but it's really funny because constantly I'm always typing in Blondie and I'm like, wait, it's not actually blondie.
02:07:47.000That's the name I call her, but it's just something that happens on a daily basis.
02:08:16.000All right, activist Laura Loomer celebrated the Department of Justice's decision to fire the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, who prosecuted Ghillane Maxwell.
02:08:24.000Comey was terminated as a federal prosecutor for the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, according to reports.
02:08:35.000It's not immediately clear what led to her termination.
02:08:39.000The move comes weeks after Comey led the prosecution of Sean Diddy Combs.
02:08:42.000The rapper was convicted of prostitution-related charges, but cleared of the more serious charges, racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking.
02:08:51.000Before that, she prosecuted Ghillaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after her 2021 conviction on charges related to her role in a scheme to abuse minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein.
02:09:03.000Loomer seemed thrilled about the move.
02:09:05.000This comes two months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondie to fire Comey's daughter and Comey's son-in-law from the DOJ.
02:09:12.000Loomer boasted on X in a post Wednesday referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
02:09:18.000In May, Loomer urged Bondi to terminate Comey and her husband, Lucas Issakroff, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Civil Rights Division.
02:09:27.000If Blondie was a serious person, she would fire them both for being a national security risk via their proximity to a criminal who just committed a felony by threatening to assassinate the president, the far-right activist wrote in a lengthy expost.
02:09:40.000Days earlier, the former FBI director faced intense scrutiny after posting a photo of shells depicting 8647 on his Instagram account.
02:09:49.000Some close to Trump believe the post was a call to assassinate Trump.
02:09:52.000The elder Comey later took down the photo, denied that he intended for any violence, and said the message was totally innocent.
02:10:19.000This week, Trump accused James Comey, as well as former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, of having made up the Epstein files a controversy that has created a schism in MAGA World.
02:10:32.000It's not immediately clear if Loomer's demands played a role in the Trump administration's decision to fire Comey.
02:10:37.000Loomer does appear to have Trump's ear when it comes to who he keeps in his administration.
02:10:41.000Loomer met with Trump in April and urged him to fire members of the National Security Council who had been disloyal to him not long after the president terminated several NSC staff.
02:10:51.000Asked how many staffing decisions she had a hand in, Loomer told the New York Times this month.
02:11:54.000Why do we have so many vetting crises?
02:11:57.000In fact, we have a nice little stinger that I made.
02:11:59.000I actually had my producer make this for me because there's so many vetting crises happening that we just decided to make it an official part of the show.
02:12:08.000So here is the new stinger for the White House vetting crisis.
02:12:25.000So yeah, there's a White House vetting crisis.
02:12:28.000And I'm just glad that I can apply appropriate pressure where the pressure needs to be applied so that these decisions can ultimately be made.
02:13:59.000You still need to fire her husband, though.
02:14:02.000Her husband still works at the DOJ, so it would have been great if we could have had plus two Blondie, especially after this Epstein crisis.
02:14:33.000The economy's shaky, banks are failing, inflation's eating your savings, gold and silver, well, they've held value through every single crisis.
02:14:40.000But don't get burned buying the wrong kind.
02:14:42.000Those shiny coins and ads, they carry a high price and high fees.
02:14:46.000And when you try to sell, you get less.
02:14:48.000That's why Dr. Kirk Elliott does it differently with real bullion and no games.
02:14:52.000So be sure that you visit kepm.com slash loomer and get the straight answers.
02:14:56.000Protect what matters before the next crisis hits.
02:15:57.000Getting over, not really feeling too great.
02:16:00.000My throat's a little sore still from yesterday.
02:16:03.000Customs and Border Patrol, senior national security advisor who oversees America's crumbling immigration digital vetting infrastructure, has anti-Trump, pro-open borders, and pro-DEI bias.
02:16:14.000Monty Hawkins, a senior national security advisor and the director of the National Vetting Center at CBP, has held influential roles across multiple U.S. administrations, including as a senior director for transporter security at the National Security Council and the first Director of the National Vetting Center under U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
02:16:34.000Tasked with overseeing the vetting of individuals entering the United States and developing the physical and IT infrastructure to support these processes, Hawkins' tenure has been marked by significant challenges.
02:16:44.000From 2018 to at least 2022, he led the NVC, the National Vetting Center, established under the National Security Presidential Memorandum to streamline vetting processes for border security and immigration.
02:16:59.000Despite his credentials, the systems under Hawkins' oversight has faced persistent challenges, raising concerns about their effectiveness and reliability.
02:17:07.000Additionally, a 2023 statement attributed to Hawkins and Vanity Fair describing a potential second Trump administration as a revenge machine targeting career officials highlights how Hawkins has an anti-Trump bias and doesn't support the purging of Biden holdovers in the Trump administration.
02:17:23.000This is concerning given the fact that Hawkins supported Joe Biden, Biden supported Open Borders, and Hawkins is now working as a senior advisor and the director of National Vetting Center for CBP.
02:17:34.000And then you could see the Vanity Fair article.
02:17:36.000We don't need to look at that right now, but the sources is all there.
02:17:38.000All of the documentation, all the receipts are there.
02:17:48.000In addition to badmouthing President Trump in 2023, a quick review of Hawkins' social media reveals that he has contempt and disdain for the Trump administration and often takes to his LinkedIn page to like the posts of Obama and Biden holdovers who have recently been fired by the Trump admin for pushing woke pro-DEI and pro-open border policies.
02:18:08.000A review of his LinkedIn shows he likes posts from disgruntled State Department and U.S.AID employees who were fired under the new Trump admin.
02:18:15.000Shockingly, he has even recently liked a post that was critical of ICE raids.
02:18:22.000The post Hawkins likes said ICE has turned its back on the principles of policing in a free society.
02:18:28.000The post was published three weeks ago while ICE was carrying out raids in Los Angeles.
02:18:32.000Why is a man who helped the Biden administration implement their open borders policies and who thinks ICE has turned its back on the principles of policing in a free society still working at the Customs and Border Patrol as a senior national security advisor and the director of the National Vetting Center?
02:18:49.000How can you advise CBP if you hate ICE?
02:18:51.000Seems like Hawkins' worldview conflicts with President Trump's vision for immigration policy and foreign policy.
02:18:57.000And just think, this is who's advising the CBP on their technological vetting system?
02:19:01.000Here's a few of the pro-Democrat posts that he has liked on his LinkedIn.
02:19:05.000You can see he's liked posts that praise Alejandro Mayorkas and he liked posts that criticize the Trump admin for closing down bloated agencies.
02:19:12.000Is this somebody that you want overseeing technological vetting systems for CBP and somebody that you want serving as a senior national security advisor to CBP?
02:19:22.000Monty Hopkins should not be in charge of vetting everybody who enters the United States.
02:19:27.000Can you believe that that's the position that he's in charge of doing?
02:19:31.000He's in charge of vetting everybody who comes into our country.
02:19:34.000Vetting with a lowercase V, by the way, because, you know, let's be honest, nobody seems to know how to do vetting with a capital V. Monty Hawkins should not be in charge of vetting everyone who enters the United States, and he should not be in charge of building the physical and IT systems that oversee immigration vetting.
02:20:16.000Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE.
02:20:21.000But what worries me the most is that we are witnessing, that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again.
02:20:31.000ICE has turned its back on the principles of policing in a free society.
02:20:58.000Okay, like automatic termination of I'm in control of firing people.
02:21:03.000But I was told by Tricia McLaughlin today, who is one of the spokeswomen for the Department of Homeland Security, we can pull that tweet up as well, that thanks to my exclusive report, Monty Hawkins has been fired.
02:21:35.000The Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security just told me that as a result of my exclusive report about Monty Hawkins, the senior national security advisor and the director of the National Vetting Center at CBP, he was just fired by the Trump administration.
02:21:53.000I posted my report Tuesday two days ago.
02:25:50.000I just love getting rid of these people, right?
02:25:53.000I'm not saying I'm the one that's telling President Trump to fire these people, but obviously this guy, Monty Hawkins, wasn't going to be fired until my expose came out.
02:26:02.000So I'm just really happy that and I'm blessed that I have the microphone that I have so that I can raise awareness about all these dubious actors in the Trump administration so that we can just clean house and get these people out.
02:26:13.000I mean, honestly, why are there still Biden and Obama holdovers in the Trump administration seven months in?
02:28:26.000On tomorrow's episode of Loomer Unleashed, I'm going to break down the expose I released today about the founder of Ice Block and his wife, who happens to be an employee of the DOJ.
02:28:38.000So stay tuned to tomorrow's episode of Loomer Unleash.
02:29:09.000I mean, we have so many people that are qualified to be in these positions, and they're not in these positions because there's Biden and Obama holdovers there.
