00:23:58.000 There is a young female journalist, conservative journalist by the name of Laura Loomer.

00:24:07.000 If America's men acted like Laura Loomer, our problems will be fixed in about five minutes. 0.95

00:24:13.000 Chained herself to Twitter.

00:24:14.000 She chained herself.

00:24:14.000 Chained herself.

00:24:48.000 scorching you you you you you you you Good evening and welcome to episode 136 of Loomer Unleashed.

00:25:08.000 I'm your host, Laura Loomer.

00:25:10.000 We are live right now on rumble.com.

00:25:13.000 So please be sure that you head on over to rumble.com/slash laura lumer rumble.com/slash Laura Loomer.

00:25:46.000 That helps maintain my independent status as an investigative reporter and it allows me and my team here at Loomer Unleashed to continue bringing you the news that seems to really just be dominating the news cycles These days, every single day.

00:26:02.000 It's another Laura Loomer frenzy.

00:26:04.000 The media is absolutely obsessed with my independent vetting operation that I'm running here.

00:26:11.000 And, you know, look, I think it's interesting.

00:26:14.000 The media is starting to realize that they are one, not just irrelevant, but two, their smear campaigns against individuals are really starting to not really be listened to as much as they used to.

00:26:30.000 So they used to constantly demonize me, and they still do.

00:26:34.000 They still do demonize me.

00:26:35.000 But now what's so great about this, and what's so great about the work that I'm doing is they're forced to finally recognize me.

00:26:41.000 They're no longer able to ignore me.

00:26:43.000 Before, when I would break a story about somebody who was disloyal to the president or I broke a story that had a national impact, they would constantly steal, you know, steal my work and they would attribute it to other people.

00:26:58.000 But now I'm finally getting credit.

00:27:00.000 It seems like, not always.

00:27:01.000 I'm finally, though, getting credit for my hard work and my investigative skills and my research and all of the hard work and many hours every single day that my team and I pour into supporting President Trump and exposing the truth and exposing this continued vetis at the White House.

00:27:24.000 We are live on Rumble and we're live on X. So please be sure that you're following me on X at Laura Loomer and also be sure that you're following me on X at Loomer Unleashed.

00:27:35.000 We're going to be joined by our guest momentarily, but before that, we're going to take a look at some of these articles and talk about the continued White House vetting crisis.

00:27:45.000 I got multiple people fired this week.

00:27:47.000 I mean, ultimately, it's President Trump's decision, right?

00:27:50.000 Who he decides to hire and who he decides to fire and terminate from his administration.

00:27:55.000 But the media is going crazy.

00:27:57.000 They're talking about my body count.

00:28:00.000 It's kind of interesting, right?

00:28:01.000 Tell we're transforming the definition of body count.

00:28:05.000 Usually when somebody talks about body count, it's like how many women, how many, how many men a woman has slept with or how many women a man has slept with.

00:28:14.000 But here we have the Daily Beast today.

00:28:16.000 Body count, every Trump administration scalp Laura Loomer has taken so far. 0.56

00:28:20.000 Laura Loomer's loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 ousters so far. 0.99

00:28:26.000 Hey, I'm picking up the slack, right?

00:28:28.000 Last time I checked, there were people who actually, you know, work in the Trump administration.

00:28:34.000 They're on our dime as taxpayers getting paid.

00:28:38.000 Some of them making close to $200,000 a year.

00:28:41.000 Their job is supposed to be to vet for the president, right?

00:28:45.000 Comes with all these nice little perks of being a staffer in the White House.

00:28:49.000 But hey, last time I checked, there were people who worked in the federal government whose responsibility it was to conduct this vetting.

00:28:56.000 So I don't understand why there's so much outrage over the additional vetting that I'm doing independently of the Trump administration.

00:29:07.000 This is something that is supposed to be done by people who are already getting paid from your taxpayer dollars to do this service for the president of the United States.

00:29:17.000 And obviously, they're either understaffed or some of these people aren't very good at what they do because there's a serious vetting crisis.

00:29:26.000 And it extends all the way throughout, I guess you could say, every single agency within the Trump administration and within the federal government.

00:29:36.000 This isn't something that's just unique to the White House.

00:29:38.000 This is something that extends to the Department of Defense, to health and human services, right?

00:29:44.000 I mean, we have identified holdovers in nearly every single government agency thus far, especially the intel community.

00:29:53.000 It's very sinister.

00:29:54.000 It's very dangerous for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, the America First agenda, for there to be so many holdovers at the CIA, at the FBI, at the NSC.

00:30:05.000 We just witnessed the most egregious case of weaponized government in U.S. history with the declassification of the Russia Gate documents by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

00:30:18.000 Everybody now knows that Russia Gate wasn't just a conspiracy.

00:30:24.000 It's now a proven fact that Russia Gate was a hoax.

00:30:28.000 It was a hoax perpetuated by the Obama administration by James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, all of these deep state individuals who we knew were guilty of committing treason in our country.

00:30:44.000 We knew were guilty of organizing a spy operation.

00:30:49.000 We knew we're guilty of staging a coup against Donald Trump and his first administration.

00:30:54.000 And yet we were gaslit for the last eight years by the radical left, the Democrats, the mainstream media, you know, all these so-called real journalists who actually have White House press passes.

00:31:08.000 I guess my application must have gotten lost along the way.

00:31:12.000 I don't know.

00:31:13.000 I don't know.

00:31:14.000 I don't really understand how all these fake news operations who perpetuated this Russia hoax and tried to gaslight Donald Trump when he said that Obama and his administration were spying on him and his campaign team.

00:31:28.000 All of these esteemed journalists.

00:31:32.000 Apparently they're good enough for the White House.

00:31:34.000 I don't know.

00:31:35.000 But if you're running a vetting operation and you're breaking stories every single day that consume the national media, I don't know.

00:31:42.000 I guess that's not worthy of having a White House press pass, but who knows?

00:31:46.000 One of these days, one of these days, you know, one of these days, I'm going to be worthy.

00:31:51.000 One of these days, I'll be just as worthy as Caitlin Collins and Dana Bash and Jake Tapper and, you know, so many of these other amazing real news reporters who somehow get access to the White House.

00:32:05.000 But until then, I guess I'm just going to have to continue my vetting operation from the outside.

00:32:11.000 Well, we can continue, right, Loomer?

00:32:13.000 Scroll down.

00:32:14.000 MAGA loyalist Laura Loomer has been on a tear.

00:32:17.000 Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists, it's so funny.

00:32:20.000 They call me a conspiracy theorist, yet everything that I'm posting is true.

00:32:24.000 Everything that I'm posting is a fact.

00:32:27.000 Everything that I'm posting is the Work that people who work inside the Trump administration are supposed to be doing for Donald Trump, but they're falling short.

00:32:39.000 It's interesting, right?

00:32:40.000 So many people are elevated, and so many people continue to be rewarded for falling short.

00:32:45.000 We were told that this was not going to be a DEI administration, but I don't know.

00:32:50.000 Isn't that the definition of DEI when you continue to be rewarded and you continue to have a job even after you keep on screwing up?

00:32:58.000 I mean, I thought that this was a merit-based administration.

00:33:02.000 Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists and provocateurs taking credit for the removal of one Trump administration official after another.

00:33:11.000 While President Trump has tried to downplay her influence, I mean, nowhere did President Trump try to downplay my influence.

00:33:18.000 I mean, they love trying to, you know, make it seem like I'm on the outs with Donald Trump when in reality, I'm one of the few that's actually looking out for Donald Trump, right?

00:33:27.000 I'm one of the few that's actually looking out for Donald Trump and doing the job that many of his own paid staffers are supposed to be doing, but they're not.

00:33:38.000 Loomer's deeply researched loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 removals.

00:33:44.000 Loomer, a self-described Islamophobe who called 9-11 an inside job, once operated at the fringes of the MAGA movement.

00:33:51.000 But with each scalp, she claims the evidence mounts that her takedowns carry serious weight within the administration, no matter how distasteful those close to the president find her.

00:34:01.000 Here's Loomer's political body count to date.

00:34:04.000 Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Schleifer.

00:34:06.000 Remember him?

00:34:09.000 He got exposed.

00:34:11.000 Six aides on President Trump's National Security Council.

00:34:16.000 Remember Signalgate?

00:34:17.000 Remember the genius Michael Waltz?

00:34:20.000 How could you forget?

00:34:22.000 NSA Director Timothy Hoag and NSA Deputy Director Wendy Noble.

00:34:28.000 Just got their lawyer this week, too.

00:34:30.000 Deputy National Secure, Deputy Security Advisor, excuse me, Michael Waltz and Deputy National Security Advisor Alex Wong.

00:34:38.000 Now he's over at the United Nations.

00:34:41.000 Surgeon General nominee, Dr. Jeanette Nushwat.

00:34:44.000 That's Mike Waltz's sister-in-law.

00:34:48.000 Nothing like some good old-fashioned nepotism.

00:34:50.000 Am I right?

00:34:51.000 Let's scroll down.

00:34:53.000 Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey.

00:34:56.000 I mean, again, look, guys, why is it that I have to be the one to point out the fact that, you know, James Comey, former FBI director, participated in Crossfire Hurricane, staged a coup against President Trump?

00:35:11.000 Remember that guy?

00:35:12.000 Yeah.

00:35:13.000 Why do I have to be the one to point out the fact that James Comey's daughter and her husband, James Comey's son-in-law, both of whom are radical leftists, Trump haters, voted for Hillary Clinton, voted for Joe Biden?

00:35:25.000 Why do I have to be the one to point out to the administration that she's still working at the DOJ or was at least right when I flagged this over at the DOJ?

00:35:34.000 It's crazy to think that, you know, they had an entire transition team.

00:35:38.000 You have all these geniuses over at the DOJ.

00:35:42.000 You have all these geniuses in the Trump administration, and nobody could figure out the fact that James Comey's daughter was still working over at the DOJ and her husband still works over at the DOJ.

00:35:52.000 And then they try to demonize me and they, you know, they try to make me out to be a villain.

00:35:58.000 But at the end of the day, everybody loves a villain.

00:36:01.000 Everybody loves a villain, right?

00:36:03.000 One person's villain is another person's hero.

00:36:06.000 That's just how it goes.

00:36:07.000 But they try to demonize me because they don't want to admit that they fell short.

00:36:13.000 So I have to be the so-called villain.

00:36:16.000 And then, of course, you know, I have to deal with all these derogatory attacks.

00:36:19.000 Like, oh, no matter how distasteful so many of the people who work for President Trump think or find her to be, who cares?

00:36:26.000 Like, who really cares at the end of the day if people find me to be distasteful?

00:36:29.000 What matters in life is whether you win.

00:36:32.000 Okay.

00:36:32.000 What matters in life is whether or not you're right.

00:36:35.000 And what matters in life is whether or not you are truthful and whether you are honest.

00:36:40.000 The truth shall set you free, right?

00:36:43.000 Anybody know who said that?

00:36:45.000 The truth shall set you free.

00:36:48.000 And that's what these people don't like.

00:36:50.000 They don't like the fact that the truth is being exposed.

00:36:52.000 They don't like the fact that there are independent operators who exist on the outside of the administration who expose the truth and they're able to pierce the veil, the veil of, they're able to pierce the veil of all the subversion and all the gatekeeping.

00:37:07.000 They don't like the fact that there are independent truth seekers who are able to pierce the veil of all of the sabotage, the deliberate sabotage and obstruction of Donald Trump that's been ongoing for the last decade.

00:37:21.000 They absolutely hate it because they hate those who they cannot control.

00:37:26.000 And that's why I'm not in the administration.

00:37:28.000 Not because I'm not talented, not because I'm not smart. 0.99

00:37:31.000 I mean, shit, I'm a lot smarter than a lot of these people, obviously. 0.97

00:37:35.000 Not because I don't work hard. 1.00

00:37:37.000 Obviously, I work a lot harder and I work way longer hours than a lot of these people do.

00:37:42.000 It's because they can't control me.

00:37:44.000 And what I've learned through running for office twice and being involved in Republican Party politics for the last 12 years of my life and working in conservative media and meeting everybody, knowing everybody, you know, being in the same room with all these people, all these political consultant types.

00:38:05.000 It doesn't matter how dedicated you are.

00:38:08.000 It also doesn't really matter how loyal you are at the end of the day.

00:38:11.000 It doesn't matter how dedicated you are or how loyal you are, how smart you are, how driven you are, how much you sacrifice.

00:38:18.000 It doesn't matter because you're never going to be worthy in their eyes unless you allow yourself to be controlled.

00:38:25.000 And if you don't allow yourself to be controlled, you will forever be on the outside.

00:38:30.000 You will forever be excommunicated.

00:38:32.000 You will forever be an outsider in Washington, D.C. Because, I mean, look, we live in an era where people are willing to literally pay for your silence.

00:38:42.000 They are willing to pay for you to go away and be silent, right?

00:38:47.000 We live in an era where people would rather pay for people to go away and be silent than they would for people to actually be truth seekers and work hard.

00:38:55.000 I mean, we've seen this.

00:38:57.000 We've seen how people, everybody has a price.

00:38:59.000 We've seen how politicians are paid off to not talk about issues anymore, to not press issues anymore.

00:39:05.000 We've seen how people are paid off via lucrative settlements to quietly go away and not press on an issue anymore.

00:39:13.000 We have seen the way that people have a price that they're willing to accept.

00:39:18.000 Everybody has their number, I guess you could say, to go away, be controlled, take orders and not push back and not speak the truth.

00:39:30.000 And a lot of the people who work in Washington, D.C., unfortunately, have sold out.

00:39:36.000 A lot of people who work in Washington, D.C. on both sides of the political aisle have named their price.

00:39:41.000 They've given their number.

00:39:42.000 And that's why they're not effective.

00:39:46.000 That's why they're not able to enact change.

00:39:48.000 That's why, it's not that they don't want to enact change.

00:39:51.000 They don't care to enact change because a lot of times, a lot of these people, have been bought off or they're in some type of financial arrangement to be silent so that there isn't any effective change in Washington, D.C. I mean, it's crazy to me how I'm on the outside.

00:40:11.000 I don't have a security clearance.

00:40:13.000 I don't even have a White House press pass, but I'm able to expose this information.

00:40:19.000 So you have to ask yourself, if I'm able to expose all of this while not working inside the administration, how many people who work in the administration are well aware of all of this sabotage, right?

00:40:34.000 All of this obstruction that is happening within the Trump administration.

00:40:38.000 How many people who work inside the administration are aware of all these holdovers and all these, you know, sweetheart deals that a lot of these individuals who participated in the Russia collusion host against President Trump, a lot of these individuals who supported the raid on

00:40:55.000 Mar-a-Lago, a lot of these individuals who said that Donald Trump wasn't fit to be president, a lot of these individuals who wrote letters during his administration condemning him, saying that he was a threat to our national security, a lot of these individuals who participated in the spying on President Trump, a lot of these individuals who supported the indictment of President Trump.

00:41:17.000 How many people know that these individuals are still working inside the Trump administration, basically stealing taxpayer money so that they can get some kind of lucrative position with benefits, some lucrative position with the federal government on

00:41:37.000 taxpayer dime because these people would rather stay friends with political traitors, people who committed treason in our country, people who should not just lose their security

00:41:52.000 clearances, but also be criminally prosecuted and charged and jailed for what they did to Donald Trump, for what they did perpetuating this hoax in our country, for what they did undermining our intelligence agencies, weaponizing our Justice Department, weaponizing our intel agencies, stealing an election.

00:42:14.000 These people belong in jail.

00:42:16.000 They don't belong in the Trump administration making $200,000 a year or having security clearances where they can be government contractors making millions of dollars a year selling access through their security clearances.

00:42:29.000 All right?

00:42:30.000 They don't deserve that.

00:42:33.000 They don't deserve to reap the benefits of a Trump administration after they worked tirelessly these last 10 years to make sure that Donald Trump was thwarted and obstructed and that he, you know, wasn't able to have a successful election in 2020 because of election fraud, a stolen election, and mass censorship and deplatforming and demonization and indictment after indictment.

00:42:57.000 These people deserve to be named and shamed and perp-walked into the public square and humiliated.

00:43:05.000 What they really deserve is the punishment for treason on the books. 0.92

00:43:09.000 I mean, we all know what that is, right?

00:43:10.000 We all know what the real punishment for treason is in this country.

00:43:13.000 I mean, if we had a real justice system in this country, we wouldn't just be talking about putting people in handcuffs and sending them to jail.

00:43:21.000 We'd be talking about having military tribunals and political executions, okay?

00:43:28.000 I'm not advocating for political violence, but that's what we would be talking about if we had actual justice in this country, okay?

00:43:35.000 The punishment for treason in this country is death.

00:43:38.000 And nobody really wants to have a conversation about that.

00:43:42.000 Last time I was on Tim Pool's show and I had a conversation about what the punishment for treason was, he pulled the plug because he said, oh, YouTube is going to ban us.

00:43:50.000 YouTube is going to ban us if we have a conversation about this.

00:43:53.000 Well, I'm like, why are we talking about tech companies banning people for having a conversation about the laws of this land?

00:44:02.000 Why are we having a conversation about the big tech social media companies that get billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded government contracts every single year, all right?

00:44:13.000 Why are we talking about these people silencing the speech of American citizens who are talking about civics in the United States of America?

00:44:21.000 These people don't just want to evade accountability.

00:44:26.000 They don't just want to evade punishment for their crimes and for their disloyalty and the treason that they've committed.

00:44:37.000 They want to silence people and they want to demonize people who are speaking truth about law and order.

00:44:44.000 They want to silence people who are speaking truth about justice in the American way.

00:44:50.000 That's why they hate me.

00:44:52.000 They hate me because they can't control me. 0.99

00:44:55.000 They hate me because I'm not going to turn a blind eye to all of the sabotage, to all of the disloyalty, so that I can get invited to some shitty holiday party and eat shitty hors d'oeuvres with shitty people in Washington, D.C. who are fake as shit and at the end of the day, they're irrelevant. 0.99

00:45:18.000 They're not as important as they think they are. 0.99

00:45:20.000 I mean, that's really what these people want.

00:45:23.000 They want to go along to get along so that they can go to the White House Christmas party, so they can go to all of these holiday parties the hanukkah party the white house correspondence dinner and eat plastic chicken and take selfies with fake people in washington dc Who would sell them down the river in a heartbeat if it meant getting a raise or putting some money in their bank account?

00:45:50.000 You couldn't pay me to do that.

00:45:52.000 I have no desire to be around these people.

00:45:55.000 I have no desire to be friends with these people.

00:45:58.000 I have no desire to work with these people, honestly.

00:46:02.000 I probably should be.

00:46:04.000 I probably should be.

00:46:07.000 But what terrifies them is that I've been able to prove that I could be effective even on the outside.

00:46:12.000 All right.

00:46:13.000 They thought that they were going to silence me of all people by cutting off my access, by denying me of a job that I earned four times.

00:46:22.000 Okay.

00:46:22.000 Employed by President Trump to work at the White House four times.

00:46:25.000 That's what they thought.

00:46:26.000 They thought that they were going to silence me and make me quit and make me go away because they were able to block President Trump's orders to hire me on four separate occasions.

00:46:38.000 They thought that they were going to silence me and make me go away by banning me on every single social media platform over these last 10 years of my life, shutting me down, debanking me, panning me on payment platforms, making it so that I'm not able to monetize my content except on Rumble.

00:46:56.000 Can't even get on YouTube.

00:46:59.000 That's what they thought.

00:47:01.000 But now, not only have I beaten the system and I'm on Rumble and I have a show and people like you are watching my show and supporting my work, but I'm unleashed.

00:47:14.000 I'm completely unleashed and I'm uncensored and I'm unchained and I'm uncontrollable.

00:47:19.000 And that's what they don't like.

00:47:20.000 They don't like the fact that I am able to distribute my content and they can't fire me.

00:47:25.000 They can't say, you know what, you're fired.

00:47:28.000 But that's what I get to do now in some capacity, right?

00:47:32.000 I'm not Donald Trump.

00:47:34.000 Donald Trump is the one ultimately who gets to say you're fired, but I get to help deliver the truth that leads to them being told you're fired.

00:47:44.000 So it's interesting how life works.

00:47:46.000 And, you know, perhaps I'm meant to be on the outside.

00:47:49.000 You know, maybe there's a reason why I'm on the outside.

00:47:51.000 Perhaps I wouldn't be able to do all this work if I was on the inside working in some kind of official capacity within the White House or working as some kind of, you know, official government employee.

00:48:01.000 I'd be bound by the rules and the regulations of the federal government.

00:48:05.000 I don't know.

00:48:05.000 They say everything happens for a reason.

00:48:08.000 But what I do know is that nothing terrifies these people more than having the flashlight shown on them.

00:48:17.000 They don't want to be exposed to this light, this disinfectant, because they all have something to hide.

00:48:22.000 Okay.

00:48:23.000 Washington, D.C. is one of the most corrupt places, if not the most corrupt place in the entire world.

00:48:30.000 And, you know, being in this industry for the last 12 years, I know where a lot of bodies are buried.

00:48:34.000 I know where a lot of people's bodies are buried.

00:48:36.000 I know a lot of people's secrets.

00:48:38.000 And at the end of the day, there's no such thing as a secret in Washington, D.C. And somewhere along the way, all of these people, they knifed people to get where they wanted to go.

00:48:49.000 They're going to continue knifing people just like they knifed me to get places where they want to go.

00:48:55.000 And at the end of the day, when people get knifed, who do you think they come to?

00:49:00.000 They come to me. 0.91

00:49:02.000 And so essentially, it's one big circle jerk of knifing, you know, when you think about it. 0.84

00:49:09.000 It's one big circle jerk of knifing. 0.97

00:49:12.000 And what's glorious about this is that I'm never going to change, but all these people are going to change, right? 0.84

00:49:18.000 Because it's inevitable.

00:49:19.000 Washington, D.C. corrupts you.

00:49:21.000 When you get to Washington, D.C., you get corrupted.

00:49:23.000 It's inevitable.

00:49:25.000 People change.

00:49:25.000 Their values change.

00:49:28.000 So what's great about this arrangement is that I don't change.

00:49:33.000 I've always been who I am, which is why they don't like me because I'm not going to change.

00:49:38.000 They want me to change.

00:49:39.000 Trust me.

00:49:39.000 They want me to change.

00:49:41.000 They wanted me to change when I was running for Congress.

00:49:43.000 They wanted me to change when I was fighting big tech.

00:49:46.000 They want me to change now.

00:49:47.000 They always want me to change something.

00:49:49.000 Oh, just soften your tone.

00:49:51.000 Oh, you know, just change your hair color.

00:49:52.000 Oh, try to lose some weight.

00:49:54.000 Oh, just this.

00:49:55.000 Oh, just that.

00:49:56.000 It's always something.

00:49:56.000 You know, you're never, you're never going to be good enough for these people.

00:50:00.000 You're never going to be good enough for them.

00:50:02.000 But eventually, somebody always gets knifed.

00:50:06.000 And when people get knifed, they like to talk, right?

00:50:09.000 And that's what's great about this situation is that eventually the circle of knifing gets everybody.

00:50:19.000 It gets everybody.

00:50:20.000 It's like this mentality of, oh, the crocodile is going to eat me last. 0.88

00:50:23.000 Eventually, you're going to get knifed too.

00:50:24.000 If you work in this industry and you work in Washington, D.C., and this is how you make your living is by, you know, being duplicitous and knifing people to get what you want.

00:50:36.000 People want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.

00:50:40.000 Never forget that.

00:50:41.000 That's how Washington, D.C. works.

00:50:43.000 People want to see you do well.

00:50:44.000 Oh, you know, Laura, I'm so happy for you.

00:50:46.000 Oh, you know, it's so great that you're not banned anymore.

00:50:48.000 Oh, you know, it's so great.

00:50:49.000 It's so great seeing you get to go to the White House.

00:50:52.000 People want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.

00:50:56.000 And when they start to think that you're going to do better than them, they knife you.

00:51:00.000 They knife you. 0.60

00:51:00.000 They try to bring you down a notch. 0.60

00:51:02.000 And ultimately, when people get knifed, they love to talk and they should.

00:51:07.000 They should be talking.

00:51:08.000 Everybody should be talking, right?

00:51:10.000 Because this is not a sustainable culture.

00:51:12.000 It's not a sustainable culture.

00:51:13.000 And you know what?

00:51:14.000 We're never going to have true change in our country if this is how things operate.

00:51:18.000 And unfortunately, this is how everything operates in Washington, D.C. So I'm going to keep on exposing people.

00:51:26.000 We have a lot of people to go through tonight.

00:51:27.000 We're going to keep on going through this list right now before I bring my next guest on.

00:51:31.000 We're on number 13 right here.

00:51:32.000 Let's keep going through this article.

00:51:35.000 FDA vaccine chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad.

00:51:40.000 NSA General Counsel, April Falcon Doss.

00:51:43.000 That was this week.

00:51:45.000 Distinguished chair at West Point's Department of Social Sciences, Jenna Easterly.

00:51:52.000 And there's just many more, right?

00:51:54.000 This is just one article.

00:51:54.000 This is a Daily Beast article.

00:51:56.000 Let's go to the New York Times article.

00:51:58.000 They're calling me the loyalty enforcer.

00:52:00.000 I mean, I call myself a loyalty enforcer.

00:52:03.000 And, you know, this toxic culture of knifing people is seen in the way that the media tries to mock loyalty.

00:52:09.000 You know, President Trump himself said that there's nothing worse than disloyalty, right?

00:52:13.000 We can find this clip.

00:52:14.000 We can pull it.

00:52:15.000 It's a very famous clip the president posted.

00:52:18.000 It's from, it's from a, it's from an interview that he did.

00:52:26.000 It's from an interview he did in the 80s.

00:52:30.000 It's a clip of President Trump talking about how there's nothing more horrible than disloyalty.

00:52:36.000 It's a horrible act, right?

00:52:38.000 And we'll play the clip for you tonight.

00:52:41.000 But this is the problem is that they mocked Donald Trump for talking about loyalty when he ran for president the first time.

00:52:50.000 He was able to convey the importance of loyalty to the American people.

00:52:57.000 The concept of America first, being loyal to your country, right?

00:53:02.000 A foreign concept to so many people in Washington, D.C., who have been selling our country out for so long. 0.90

00:53:09.000 And when the president has loyal people around him, because Washington, D.C. is built on this culture of knifing everybody and trying to, you know, screw everybody over to get what you want, the circle jerk of knifing to, you know, bring everybody down.

00:53:26.000 Like I said, people want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.

00:53:29.000 Every single time somebody's doing better than you, right?

00:53:31.000 It's time to take out the knives.

00:53:34.000 Time to take out the knives. 0.99

00:53:35.000 Time to shank somebody. 0.98

00:53:37.000 How it works. 0.90

00:53:39.000 They try to just mock people.

00:53:40.000 They like to mock people who are loyal.

00:53:43.000 And that's what they do to me.

00:53:44.000 They're like, oh, Laura calls herself the loyalty enforcer. 1.00

00:53:48.000 Oh, you know, she has these purity tests. 0.99

00:53:49.000 It's like, well, maybe you wouldn't have to wonder why I have access to President Trump or why the president listens to me if you actually valued loyalty the same way that I value loyalty and the same reason why President Trump values loyalty.

00:54:03.000 I believe we have the clip.

00:54:04.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

00:54:19.000 Someday I'd like to be poor just for a little while just to see who's going to remain loyal to me.

00:54:26.000 There were specifically 24 or 25 people that I have earmarked who were very disloyal, who shouldn't have been disloyal.

00:54:36.000 And I think that's the thing that I learned more than anything else.

00:54:39.000 Nancy was loyal.

00:54:40.000 Because I'm like this great loyalty freak.

00:54:42.000 I'm loyal to a point of the absurd.

00:54:46.000 I stay with people.

00:54:47.000 I built this empire.

00:54:51.000 I guess I'm one of those loyal freaks too.

00:54:53.000 And it drives the media crazy.

00:54:55.000 It drives the media crazy.

00:54:56.000 They hate loyalty.

00:54:58.000 They're built off an empire of lies.

00:55:01.000 And that's how they've been able to survive as long as they have.

00:55:03.000 That's how they've been able to build their fortune, their multi-billion dollar fortunes in the media.

00:55:08.000 That's how they've been able to ascend the ladder of political power in our country is because they are disloyalty freaks, right?

00:55:18.000 They've been dishonest.

00:55:20.000 And I agree with President Trump.

00:55:22.000 You know, I'm a loyalty freak.

00:55:24.000 I like to stay with people.

00:55:25.000 And if I'm going to be demonized for that, for being a so-called loyalty freak, so be it, right?

00:55:30.000 You can scroll up.

00:55:31.000 You can see this New York Times article just came out, came out yesterday.

00:55:35.000 Loyalty enforcer Laura Loomer targets additional officials.

00:55:38.000 The far-right activist is continuing to use her close association with President Trump to go after those she deems insufficiently loyal.

00:55:47.000 Hey, you know, everybody's got a nickname.

00:55:49.000 I call myself Loyal Loomer.

00:55:52.000 I call myself Loyal Loomer.

00:55:54.000 I call myself Loyal Loomer during the campaign too.

00:55:56.000 And people mocked me for it.

00:55:58.000 But hey, loyalty goes a long way.

00:56:02.000 You can scroll down.

00:56:06.000 Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and self-described Trump administration loyalty enforcer, has had another busy stretch.

00:56:12.000 Last Friday, April Falcon Doss, the general counsel of the National Security Agency, was fired after Ms. Loomer spotlighted conservative attacks of her previous work, including for the Senate Intelligence Committee's Democratic staff.

00:56:25.000 Then the Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Dr. Vinay Prasad, resigned on Tuesday after a post by Ms. Loomer on social media in which she pointed out his past statements disparaging President Trump and describing his following as a cult.

00:56:40.000 On Wednesday, the Army Secretary, Daniel Driscoll, ordered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind the employment offer it made to a cybersecurity expert and Army veteran, Jen Easterly.

00:56:50.000 Ms. Easterly, who has worked for both Republican and Democratic administrations, had drawn Ms. Loomer's ire for serving as the director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, Saiza, under Joe Biden. 0.88

00:57:05.000 They are the most recent examples of government officials being loomered in Ms. Loomer's own parlance.

00:57:11.000 A podcaster and influencer who expresses fierce fidelity to Mr. Trump, Ms. Loomer has flexed the power of her broad social media following and her access to the White House to target those that she views as insufficiently loyal.

00:57:26.000 Kevin Carroll, a former CIA officer who is now a lawyer representing intelligence officials fired by the Trump administration, said Ms. Loomer's unfettered influence was dangerous.

00:57:36.000 You have a person from outside the government of no national security experience and with extreme views, having de facto hire and fire authority over some of the most senior and important positions in the United States government.

00:57:48.000 So I'm dangerous for being loyal to President Trump and pointing out individuals who want to undermine his administration, people who want to be disloyal to him.

00:57:59.000 People who have lied about him, people who have smeared him, people who have participated in witch hunts against him, people who cheered when he was indicted.

00:58:12.000 But that's not dangerous for our country.

00:58:14.000 I'm dangerous.

00:58:15.000 I am so dangerous for telling the president the truth about these people and their records of infidelity.

00:58:23.000 But it's not dangerous for them to spy on a president, to create a lie about Russia stealing Our election in 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost.

00:58:34.000 Why'd she lose?

00:58:35.000 Well, she was a terrible candidate. 1.00

00:58:36.000 She's a liar. 1.00

00:58:37.000 She's a globalist. 1.00

00:58:37.000 She's a fraud. 1.00

00:58:38.000 She's a con artist. 1.00

00:58:39.000 She's a criminal. 1.00

00:58:42.000 And she was sick, just like Joe Biden. 0.96

00:58:45.000 I mean, Tulsi Gabbard declassified the documents, and now we finally find out that Hillary Clinton was sedated and she was on tranquilizers and she was having like severe psychological impairment and emotional disorders while she was on the campaign trail.

00:58:59.000 And instead of telling the truth about how Hillary Clinton is a psychopath who struggles with mental illness, they want to demonize President Trump and come up with a fake story about Russia stealing the election and ruin people's lives, destroying people's careers, destroying people's livelihoods over a lie because they don't want to accept the fact that Donald Trump won the election fair and square.

00:59:21.000 That's not dangerous to these sociopaths, these absolute psychopaths who weaponize their security clearances and weaponize their access to our intel agencies, who weaponize their political power to destroy our country for the last 10 years. 0.91

00:59:38.000 That's not dangerous, but telling the truth is dangerous. 0.99

00:59:41.000 I mean, this is a mental illness. 0.99

00:59:43.000 This is a disorder. 0.71

00:59:44.000 This is a disorder and a disease that infects the minds of so many people in Washington, D.C., that they are going to say that I am dangerous and that I am a problem because I enforce loyalty.

00:59:58.000 But then these people have no problem with administration officials burrowing themselves.

01:00:04.000 First of all, why do you even want to work for Trump if you hate Trump? 0.90

01:00:06.000 If you hate Trump and you believe he stole the election in 2016 and you think he's like a poop, a Putin puppet, as they all say, all these crazy terminologies used by the radical left and these rhinos, okay, Trump derangement syndrome is real. 0.99

01:00:20.000 It's a real mental disease. 0.99

01:00:21.000 It's a real disorder. 0.98

01:00:23.000 If you really believe these things, why do you even want to work for Trump?

01:00:27.000 Isn't that the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and over again?

01:00:32.000 Why do you want to work for Trump if you hate him?

01:00:35.000 If you think he's a criminal, if you think he's a felon, if you think he's a rapist, if you think he's all these terrible things that all of his detractors call him, why do you want to work for him?

01:00:46.000 Aren't I doing you a favor by getting you removed from the administration of the man that you think is a dictator, a man who you think is the worst person you've ever met? 0.99

01:00:54.000 Vinay Prasad said that Donald Trump was the worst person he's ever seen in his life, that his supporters were criminals and that his supporters were like drug addicts and criminals and that he hated him so much that he wanted to stab him like a voodoo doll. 0.98

01:01:07.000 He actually said that. 1.00

01:01:08.000 I believe we have the clip actually.

01:01:10.000 I believe we actually have the clip.

01:01:14.000 But I'm a demon.

01:01:15.000 I'm a demon. 0.83

01:01:16.000 I am so awful. 0.56

01:01:20.000 I am so awful.

01:01:22.000 I am paid by big pharma.

01:01:25.000 Oh, wow.

01:01:26.000 I'm paid by big pharma all of a sudden.

01:01:28.000 Where's my paycheck?

01:01:29.000 Where's my paycheck, big pharma?

01:01:32.000 Come on, pay up. 0.97

01:01:33.000 Where's my money?

01:01:35.000 Where's my money?

01:01:38.000 The payment's late.

01:01:40.000 Apparently, I'm on the payroll, a big pharma. 0.87

01:01:42.000 I'm a big pharma shill now because you're a big pharma shill if you expose the fact that some Indian who says that he wants to stab Trump and put a curse on him like he's some Haitian immigrant doing voodoo. 0.93

01:01:56.000 Okay. 0.95

01:01:57.000 Like he's some Haitian immigrant doing voodoo in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets. 1.00

01:02:03.000 I'm a demon, but this guy's not demonic for saying that he wants to stab Trump to curse him and that he has a little Trump voodoo statue on his desk that he sometimes pricks. 0.93

01:02:11.000 I'm not making this up.

01:02:12.000 Listen, listen, this is a guy who was working at the FDA.

01:02:17.000 He was a senior official at the FDA brought in by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

01:02:24.000 And these are the people working in the Trump administration.

01:02:29.000 It should shock you to your core.

01:02:31.000 Go ahead and play the clip.

01:02:33.000 When there's pandemic, reason takes the backseat to emotion often.

01:02:38.000 And who can I curse for the pandemic?

01:02:42.000 I mean, I'm frustrated like a lot of people.

01:02:44.000 I'm annoyed.

01:02:45.000 Who do I curse?

01:02:46.000 And there's no one to really curse. 0.66

01:02:47.000 I mean, I can curse Trump.

01:02:49.000 I have his little statue. 1.00

01:02:50.000 I stab him. 0.99

01:02:51.000 His little cigarette eye. 1.00

01:02:52.000 Voodoo. 0.90

01:02:53.000 Yeah, voodoo. 0.69

01:02:53.000 I can do that. 0.69

01:02:58.000 I have his little statue and I guess I could curse it. 1.00

01:03:02.000 I'm going to stab you. 1.00

01:03:04.000 Where do they find these weirdos? 1.00

01:03:06.000 Where do they find these people? 0.96

01:03:08.000 Where are they finding these weirdos who are sitting there laughing like psychopaths? 0.98

01:03:14.000 Wow. 0.99

01:03:15.000 I just hate him so much. 1.00

01:03:16.000 Let me stab him with some pins. 1.00

01:03:20.000 These are psychopaths. 1.00

01:03:21.000 These are lunatics. 1.00

01:03:22.000 These are mentally unwell individuals. 1.00

01:03:25.000 These people are crazy. 0.99

01:03:27.000 And then instead of playing this, you're not going to see this clip played on CNN. 0.87

01:03:30.000 You're not going to see this clip played on MSNBC or Fox News.

01:03:35.000 You're not going to see Politico or ABC News or CBS play this clip.

01:03:41.000 It's creepy.

01:03:42.000 He's laughing. 0.95

01:03:43.000 He's laughing like he's some kind of psychopath serial killer talking about doing voodoo.

01:03:49.000 And he's what, supposedly one of the most esteemed scientists in our country.

01:03:55.000 Where do they find these people?

01:03:59.000 You cannot actually convince me that out of the entire United States population and all the talented scientists and medical personnel in our country that this is the best that we can that we can find.

01:04:16.000 There's a vetting crisis and it needs to be addressed and it needs to be called out.

01:04:21.000 And if publicly naming and shaming people is the way that it's going to get done and publicly embarrassing people to the point where they are where they are humiliated and publicly fired by Donald Trump, that's what it's going to take to protect this president that I busted my ass trying to support and get elected three times over the last 10 years of my life.

01:04:44.000 I'm 32 years old, pretty much dedicating my entire 20s as a young woman, okay, to supporting President Trump.

01:04:52.000 That's what it's going to take.

01:04:54.000 Okay, we're not, we didn't just work our asses off and have President Trump survive two assassination Attempts so that we could fill his administration with a bunch of Bernie bros and progressive leftists who joke about, or maybe they're not even joking, stabbing Trump voodoo dolls and putting curses on him because, you know, they don't like him.

01:05:13.000 We're not going to elevate people to the National Security Council who worked with John Brennan and James Clapper and James Comey to spy on Donald Trump.

01:05:25.000 We're just not going to do it.

01:05:28.000 We have the article.

01:05:29.000 Let's get this article up.

01:05:30.000 Vinay Prasad fired.

01:05:35.000 Top FDA official leaves job after Laura Loomer attacks.

01:05:41.000 I mean, the media is so angry. 0.99

01:05:43.000 Bari Weiss, that washed up anti-Trump lesbian. 0.99

01:05:46.000 She was attacking me the other today. 1.00

01:05:48.000 I mean, she didn't even tag me, right? 0.97

01:05:49.000 That's how that's how cowardly these people are. 0.89

01:05:52.000 Bari Weiss, who's a Trump hater, said that disgraceful campaign against a top FDA official. 0.95

01:05:57.000 Here we go.

01:05:58.000 Top FDA official leaves job after Laura Loomer attacks.

01:06:01.000 No.

01:06:03.000 He didn't leave after Laura Loomer attacks.

01:06:06.000 He left after I exposed him for being a radical leftist who is ideologically unfit to serve in a Trump administration.

01:06:14.000 Why is this so hard for people to understand?

01:06:17.000 This is why we never should have brought Democrats into the Trump administration.

01:06:20.000 I don't know whose idea that was, but it was a horrible idea.

01:06:23.000 Okay.

01:06:24.000 Coalition building is always a terrible idea.

01:06:27.000 Okay.

01:06:28.000 You say what you have to say, I guess, to get the votes.

01:06:30.000 I don't know.

01:06:31.000 That's the excuse, I guess, is getting these people to vote for you.

01:06:36.000 And then you have to deal with them and their crazy staff and their communist staffers and the people who want to do voodoo experiments on you and all their conflicts of interests. 0.98

01:06:46.000 And oh, they want to, you know, they want to put their wife in a role and they got to put their degenerate drug addict kid in a role. 0.96

01:06:52.000 Oh, and then they got to put their sister in a roll. 1.00

01:06:54.000 And oh, yeah. 0.86

01:06:55.000 And before you know it, you have everybody's family members in the administration and it's just a corrupt cesspool. 1.00

01:07:00.000 It's the same shit that we criticize Joe Biden and his criminal family for doing, right? 1.00

01:07:06.000 I mean, where does it end? 1.00

01:07:07.000 Where does it end with people hiring their friends and putting incompetent losers, okay? 1.00

01:07:12.000 Incompetent losers and communists in the Trump administration. 0.99

01:07:16.000 It's not what I voted for. 1.00

01:07:18.000 It's not what I voted.

01:07:20.000 I voted for ideological purity tests and an administration that cares about vetting so that we don't have to deal with obstructionists completely derailing Donald Trump and his agenda and causing him to be impeached twice, which is what we had to deal with in the first administration because nobody paid attention to vetting.

01:07:41.000 The disgraceful campaign against a top FDA official.

01:07:44.000 Look at the media.

01:07:45.000 They're so sad.

01:07:46.000 Oh, the free press.

01:07:47.000 Can you believe Barry Weiss is actually trying to sell the free press for $250 million?

01:07:51.000 I saw a story the other day that said that she wants $250 million for this rag, for this publication. 0.99

01:07:58.000 Holy shit. 0.99

01:08:00.000 Is that what these people are getting paid? 0.99

01:08:01.000 $250 million?

01:08:03.000 I am not getting paid enough money for this.

01:08:07.000 It's America's loss that Vinay Prasad will not be able to make the changes necessary to restore trust in public health officials.

01:08:14.000 Oh, yes, because I'm going to have so much trust in a guy who talks about doing voodoo on Donald Trump because he doesn't like him.

01:08:24.000 Yes, very scientific.

01:08:27.000 Very scientific.

01:08:32.000 Very scientific.

01:08:33.000 I'm sure that I'm sure that voodoo is a very scientific practice. 0.93

01:08:38.000 That just happens to be why the country of Haiti, half the population of Haiti happens to be infected with HIV AIDS.

01:08:44.000 Yeah, because their voodoo experiments are going so well. 1.00

01:08:48.000 Yeah, it's very scientific.

01:08:50.000 That's why the people of Haiti are eating sand and infecting each other with HIV AIDS and they're engaged in cannibalism and sending all their illegals here where they're killing our pets. 1.00

01:09:01.000 Yes, voodoo. 0.93

01:09:02.000 Very scientific.

01:09:03.000 I mean, isn't it just crazy that we're supposed to be ghastlit into thinking that these people are the most brilliant scientific minds?

01:09:10.000 That's what Kennedy and some of these people at HHS said.

01:09:12.000 They actually said that Vinay Prasad is one of the most brilliant scientific minds in our country.

01:09:21.000 How do you square that?

01:09:22.000 How do you rationalize that?

01:09:24.000 You're a brilliant scientific mind, but you practice voodoo. 1.00

01:09:27.000 I want to see what the chat thinks about this.

01:09:29.000 And then we're going to bring our guest on. 0.98

01:09:31.000 We're going to have a conversation about how much money it's costing us as taxpayers to pay for the salaries of these inept losers in our government. 0.99

01:09:40.000 Let's see. 0.99

01:09:43.000 I just, I don't get it.

01:09:45.000 I really don't understand how you can say that somebody is a brilliant scientific mind when they're literally on video talking about doing voodoo experiments. 0.97

01:09:52.000 You can scroll up.

01:09:53.000 I want to see what people have to say about this.

01:09:55.000 We're live right now.

01:09:56.000 So by the way, if you want to put your comments in the chat, put your comments and your questions in the chat.

01:10:01.000 Repost the live link on X. Follow me on X. Repost the live link on rumble rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.

01:10:08.000 Before we bring our guests on, let's check the chat.

01:10:10.000 Let's scroll up.

01:10:10.000 Let's see if anybody has any questions.

01:10:15.000 Trump should be paying you to identify these losers, Laura. 0.61

01:10:19.000 Well, look, it's not even about the money for me, right?

01:10:23.000 I just want to support and protect President Trump from these people who want to derail him.

01:10:32.000 It's just, it's totally out of control.

01:10:35.000 Before we continue with our first guest tonight, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

01:10:44.000 Breaking news.

01:10:45.000 Laura Loomer has been canceled.

01:10:47.000 The president of the United States has refused to take her phone calls as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.

01:10:53.000 Is Laura Loomer the most hated person on planet Earth? 1.00

01:10:56.000 We want to hear from you, the listener, and get your opinion on whether or not that.

01:11:03.000 We coming for you.

01:11:04.000 We coming to your house, Laura Loomer.

01:11:06.000 We fight.

01:11:06.000 We know you.

01:11:07.000 We know where you live.

01:11:08.000 We coming for you right now.

01:11:09.000 We come up for your friends.

01:11:10.000 We come up for your friends, little dogs. 0.98

01:11:12.000 Frankly, you know, I hope they throw her away for the rest of her life. 1.00

01:11:15.000 I hope she dies. 1.00

01:11:16.000 She is currently on the run from authorities. 0.99

01:11:19.000 She is described as armed and dangerous.

01:11:21.000 I just can't believe she's been getting away with it for this.

01:11:23.000 An angry mob appears to be forming outside the home of journalist Laura Loomer.

01:11:28.000 What is wrong with you?

01:11:29.000 Why are you not panicking?

01:11:31.000 Because I called Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

01:11:33.000 And I learned how adding gold and silver to my portfolio is one of the safest ways to not just grow my finances, but to also protect them from the uncertainty of the future.

01:11:46.000 So I'm fine.

01:11:48.000 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.

01:12:00.000 Be sure that you head on over to KEPM.com/slash Loomer, KEPM.com/slash Loomer.

01:13:48.000 Contact them today, kepm.com slash Loomer or call them at 720-605-3900.

01:13:58.000 All right.

01:14:00.000 Moving on, continuing our coverage of the White House vetting crisis.

01:14:05.000 We have a nice little stinger, actually.

01:14:07.000 We made a nice stinger for the White House vetting crisis not too long ago.

01:14:10.000 It's very nice.

01:14:11.000 Cannon designed it.

01:14:14.000 This is such a recurring theme in the Trump administration that we actually made it an official segment of the show.

01:14:22.000 We made it an official segment of the show.

01:14:25.000 I thought that this was something that was going to get addressed within, I don't know, the first month, maybe the second month of the Trump administration, that people were actually going to take this seriously and clean house.

01:14:36.000 But we are now going on eight months of the Trump administration, and this issue appears to only be getting worse.

01:14:44.000 So before I bring my guests on, let's go ahead and play this nice little stinger that my producer made for Loomer Unleash, my show, the White House vetting crisis, because as I said, I wasn't joking, right?

01:14:55.000 Several months ago, I said, we're going to have to make an official segment of the show called White House Vetting Crisis if this doesn't get better.

01:15:01.000 And here we are, right?

01:15:02.000 Nearly eight months later.

01:15:04.000 So take a look at the stinger.

01:15:06.000 Thank you.

01:15:19.000 It's beautiful.

01:15:20.000 Canon did a great job making that stinger for me.

01:15:23.000 So joining me now to discuss the implications on the federal government and the implications on U.S. tax dollars, the price tag of this vetting crisis, and just the overall national security implications and the price tag of what it's costing our country and taxpayers to keep all of these ineffective,

01:15:44.000 disloyal Obama Biden holdovers and traitors inside the Trump administration where they're doing nothing but obstructing President Trump and his agenda is Robert Romano, the executive director of Americans for Limited Government.

01:15:59.000 Robert, thank you so much for joining me tonight.

01:16:01.000 It's a pleasure to have you live on the program.

01:16:08.000 Oh, he's muted.

01:16:10.000 You have to unmute yourself.

01:16:12.000 You appear to be muted.

01:16:15.000 Just double check in the audio.

01:16:16.000 Can you hear me okay?

01:16:18.000 Now I can.

01:16:19.000 It's all good.

01:16:20.000 You're not the first person.

01:16:21.000 You're not the first guest.

01:16:22.000 You're not the first guest, and you're probably not the last to accidentally mute yourself.

01:16:26.000 Robert, thanks so much for joining me tonight.

01:16:28.000 It's a pleasure to have you.

01:16:30.000 Thank you so much.

01:16:31.000 It's an honor to be here.

01:16:32.000 I wanted to thank you for everything that you're doing to hold the Trump administration accountable.

01:16:37.000 You know, not only for personnel, but we want to make certain that we make America great again.

01:16:42.000 I think that 77 million Americans invested a lot in the 2024 election and they were willing to give President Trump another chance.

01:16:51.000 And boy, is it paying off?

01:16:53.000 I'm really impressed with what we're seeing, you know, from the trade deals and putting America first on foreign policy and one big beautiful bill.

01:17:01.000 There's so many good things happening, even with slim majorities in Congress.

01:17:05.000 I think so much has been done.

01:17:07.000 But it is very frustrating to see what is going on in the federal administration right now.

01:17:13.000 I think that, you know, we're seeing these disclosures now from DNI Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that are showing with these classifications, thanks to President Trump's reelection, that, you know, the federal government has had it in for President Trump before he even got elected with the intelligence scandals,

01:17:35.000 with the Hillary Clinton campaign colluding with the intelligence agencies and the Justice Department to put the steel dossier into the intelligence community assessment of 2017 into the FISA warrant of 2016 of October with this investigation beginning in really March of 2016 when they tried to tie Trump to Russia all the way back to George Papadopoulos,

01:18:00.000 But again, with Carter Page and with the July 2016 Clinton intelligence plan assessment we just saw with the Durham annex that just got released.

01:18:11.000 All of this is unbelievable, but totally well within our, you know, we can believe it because this is not fiction.

01:18:20.000 This is the reality of what they've been doing to President Trump.

01:18:23.000 And you have more than 2.9 million, 2.3 million if you take out the, you know, the post school service.

01:18:32.000 There's another 2 million, 2.1 million who are in the armed services and about 700,000 in the reserves.

01:18:40.000 But focusing on the civilian employees who work at these, you know, many of these agencies that are going at President Trump, I think that, you know, they make a lot of money.

01:18:50.000 You wanted to know how much money they're making?

01:18:52.000 $271 billion as of fiscal year 2022, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

01:19:00.000 That includes benefits, wages, health insurance, pensions.

01:19:04.000 That's how much it's rolling out.

01:19:06.000 The thrift savings plan, that just topped off at about $1 trillion.

01:19:11.000 So $271 billion.

01:19:14.000 That's the cost of all of the, that's not including the military, though.

01:19:18.000 We're not including the armed services in that budget.

01:19:20.000 That's just the federal employees who work in Washington, D.C. And they, you know, they clock in and they clock out on taxpayer dime, the nine-to-fivers.

01:19:31.000 That's just what we're paying these nine to fivers in Washington, D.C. to work is $271 billion a year.

01:19:39.000 Yeah, and on the military side, just so we're clear, $551 billion, $230 billion for DOD, $321 billion for veterans affairs.

01:19:51.000 But focusing on that $271 billion, you have about $100,000 average salary.

01:19:59.000 But if you go to the median, about $50,000 to $100,000, if you go to the top paid employees in the selected service, I think it goes up to about $180,000 or so.

01:20:11.000 So you have a lot of money that goes out to federal employees, but not all of them are loyal, as you are noting, to President Trump.

01:20:18.000 And even if you're a former employee, we've saw this situation with security clearances, working for federal contractors.

01:20:26.000 Even if you are in the Biden administration, you can come out, but still retain your security clearance and still have something to do with sensitive national security matters.

01:20:35.000 And I recently did an op-ed where we were talking about what to do with the people who were signing the 2019 impeachment letter.

01:20:45.000 More than 300 former national security and other department and agency officials were calling for President Trump to be impeached.

01:20:54.000 Yeah, we have the tweet I posted about this too.

01:20:57.000 You recently wrote an op-ed about it.

01:20:59.000 And so let's go ahead and get my tweet up so people can see what we're talking about.

01:21:04.000 This is a tweet that I posted the other day.

01:21:07.000 Again, a continuation of the White House vetting crisis.

01:21:10.000 We're getting it pulled up here on the screen.

01:21:15.000 Dozens of anti-Trump officials from the CIA and NSC who signed a 2019 national security letter condemning President Trump, which accused him of being a national security threat, still have their security clearances.

01:21:26.000 And some of these people still work in the second Trump administration as federal employees and or government contractors.

01:21:33.000 So what's interesting is that, you know, we have two issues here.

01:21:38.000 We have the vetting crisis as it relates to people who are being hired to fill these positions in the federal government.

01:21:46.000 You have holdovers, you have Biden holdovers, Obama holdovers, you have careerists who are really not effective or they themselves have been compromised and participated in anti-Trump activities, but they've been able to get away with it because they're considered a career government employee.

01:22:02.000 I don't really understand how being there for a long period of time should shield you from unethical behavior or disloyal or subversive activity or behavior, but here we are.

01:22:13.000 I mean, there's an excuse for everything, I guess, in Washington, D.C. But what's another phenomenon that doesn't really get as much attention are the hundreds of people who have, I mean, thousands, really, but in terms of people that are outside of the administration right now, I guess it's probably thousands as well, but these are individuals who we've identified at least who have gone public, right?

01:22:40.000 There's a lot of people who probably have security clearances who have privately engaged in anti-Trump activities and they haven't been caught yet.

01:22:47.000 But we have evidence of dozens of individuals who signed this letter.

01:22:52.000 We can show the letter on the screen here.

01:22:54.000 From September 27, 2019 to statements from national security professionals.

01:23:02.000 As national security professionals, many of us have long been concerned with President Trump's actions and their implications for our safety and security.

01:23:12.000 Some of us have spoken out.

01:23:14.000 I'm just going to read the letter in full so that people can hear how horrible this is.

01:23:18.000 It's just unbelievable.

01:23:21.000 But many of us have eschewed politics throughout our careers and as a result, have not weighed in publicly.

01:23:28.000 The revelations of recent days, however, demand a response.

01:23:32.000 Specifically, all of us recognize the imperative of formal impeachment proceedings to ascertain additional facts and weigh the consequences of what we have learned and what may yet still emerge.

01:23:44.000 We applaud those members of Congress, including Speaker Pelosi, who have now started us down that necessary path.

01:23:54.000 The letter continues.

01:23:55.000 Third paragraph.

01:23:58.000 President Trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes.

01:24:07.000 That would constitute an unconscionable abuse of power, and it would represent an effort to subordinate America's national interests and those of our closest allies and partners to the president's personal political interest.

01:24:20.000 Having worked across administrations of both parties to uphold and advance those national interests, we consider the president's actions to be a profound national security concern.

01:24:30.000 Our relations with the rest of the world and our policies on the global stage must be based solely on what is in the national interest.

01:24:39.000 The introduction of any other considerations of the president debases our democracy, has the potential to make us more vulnerable to threats, and sends a message to leaders around the world that America's foreign policy can be dangerously corrupted by catering to a single individual.

01:24:56.000 If we fail to speak up and act now, our foreign policy and national security will officially be an offer to those who can most effectively fulfill the president's personal prerogatives.

01:25:08.000 To be clear, we do not wish to prejudge the totality of the facts or Congress's deliberative process.

01:25:14.000 Yes, they do.

01:25:14.000 That's why they wrote this letter.

01:25:17.000 At the same time, there's no escaping.

01:25:19.000 What we already know is serious enough to merit impeachment proceedings.

01:25:24.000 Okay.

01:25:24.000 From there, the facts and nothing but the facts should dictate how Congress holds the president to account and signals to the world that our foreign policy and national security are not for sale.

01:25:34.000 So, again, scroll up and you'll see those of you watching right now, September 27th, 2019.

01:25:41.000 That was when President Trump was president.

01:25:43.000 So, not only are these officials, some of these individuals are the same individuals who are on the 51 Spies Who Lied letter, who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

01:25:55.000 Okay, there's about 300 names on this letter.

01:25:58.000 51 of those individuals already had their security clearances revoked when President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearance of the 51 spies who lied.

01:26:08.000 So, that was a good start.

01:26:10.000 However, it didn't just end there.

01:26:12.000 And the Trump administration should have been more aggressive and they should have been paying more attention to the other letters that were written throughout the Trump administration.

01:26:24.000 I don't even think most people are aware of this letter.

01:26:26.000 Most people are, some people are aware of the Hunter Biden letter, but a lot of people are not even aware that this letter was written by national security professionals, Trump administration officials, and these people weren't fired.

01:26:38.000 Can you believe it?

01:26:39.000 They literally undermined the commander-in-chief while they were working inside the Trump administration in 2019.

01:26:47.000 They were working for the Trump administration and they did not get fired.

01:26:54.000 So, not only, okay, like 2019, 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.

01:27:03.000 Okay, like, are people understanding the gravity of the situation?

01:27:08.000 For the last, let me just, Laura, let me help you out here.

01:27:12.000 A lot of the officials on that particular letter were particularly former officials, but who retained the state of the country?

01:27:18.000 But a lot of these people were working for President Trump, is what I'm saying, is that even though they signed this letter, there were people who signed this letter who were former officials, but a lot of the people who signed this letter were still working in the administration.

01:27:32.000 And for years now, okay?

01:27:33.000 For years, they've been able to escape accountability and they've been able to make a lot of money with their security clearances as government contractors through the continuation of the Trump administration until the stolen election and January of 2021.

01:27:49.000 And now they've continued.

01:27:50.000 Some of these individuals are actually working inside the Trump administration.

01:27:55.000 Okay.

01:27:56.000 So six years later, these people who should be on a blacklist permanently, a conservative employment blacklist, if we're being honest, okay, they should never be allowed to work for any America First or any pro-Trump political movement ever again.

01:28:13.000 Some of these people are actually not still holding on to their security clearances where they're working as government contractors and making a lot of money.

01:28:21.000 But some of these people, at least about seven of the individuals who are on this list, who still remain and haven't been stripped of their clearances, still work inside the Trump administration in some capacity.

01:28:36.000 Has to be addressed.

01:28:37.000 I think that not only this letter is a perfect example, but anyone who wants to work for the Trump administration, they should want to be there.

01:28:46.000 They should want to help make America great again.

01:28:48.000 They should want to help the president accomplish his goals.

01:28:52.000 When you have career civil servants, going back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, you have a merit system.

01:28:58.000 It's really, really hard to fire people.

01:29:00.000 In 2017, they passed the VA reform to make it easier to fire people into VA because of some horrendous abuses that were occurring to our nation's veterans that needed to be addressed.

01:29:10.000 Senator Marco Rubio at the time led that effort and got it.

01:29:14.000 We got it signed into law.

01:29:15.000 It made it a lot easier.

01:29:16.000 We need the Merit Act.

01:29:18.000 Barry Lavermilk has had legislation, the Merit Act, that would allow for firings across the federal government to make it a lot easier.

01:29:26.000 Culturally, there's a lot of problems, I think, for Republicans who maybe shy away from government service.

01:29:33.000 We also see this at the state level working for, you know, as teachers, things like that.

01:29:37.000 In the federal civil service or just civil service in general, some surveys show about a two-to-one advantage for Democrats.

01:29:45.000 So when you have a pool of people who are two-to-one going to favor one party rule or one party, they'll do fine when they're working for the Democrats, but they're not going to help a Republican administration like President Trump get his job done to, again, make America great again.

01:30:02.000 And when it comes to national security, this particular letter calling for impeachment was undermining the president's Article II responsibility and duty to hold our foreign allies or adversaries or just parties that we're dealing with like Ukraine accountable.

01:30:19.000 And President Trump was attempting to potentially utilize weapons sales or weapons to Ukraine as leverage.

01:30:27.000 He's using it right now.

01:30:29.000 Hey, Ukraine, you want weapons?

01:30:30.000 Come to the table.

01:30:31.000 Let's discuss peace.

01:30:33.000 Russia, you don't want weapons going to Ukraine?

01:30:35.000 Well, you better come to the table.

01:30:37.000 Let's talk peace.

01:30:38.000 That's what President Trump was trying to do in 2019 when the Mueller investigation was ending.

01:30:44.000 And it was these national security professionals, the intelligence community.

01:30:48.000 It's all Russia Gate, really. 0.94

01:30:50.000 But it was undermining our Article II presidency going all the way back to, you know, the 1787, the Constitution, but George Washington, the proclamation of neutrality.

01:31:02.000 He told France to go pound sand when they wanted to go wage war all across Europe.

01:31:07.000 He tore up a treaty.

01:31:08.000 That goes way back to the Washington administration.

01:31:11.000 If George Washington can tear up a treaty with France, well, then Donald Trump can tell Ukraine, hey, hold up on those weapons.

01:31:18.000 Let's talk about this.

01:31:19.000 Let's discuss what we're doing with those weapons.

01:31:22.000 What is the state of the war?

01:31:23.000 What happens?

01:31:24.000 The war began in 2014.

01:31:26.000 I think RussiaGate was meant to push Trump.

01:31:29.000 into taking a more aggressive posture there.

01:31:32.000 And then they used that as an example for Joe Biden to make sure that he would do the same exact thing.

01:31:36.000 I think Russia Gate was an act of war against the American people, against our Constitution. 0.89

01:31:41.000 Unfortunately, a lot of people have not been held accountable.

01:31:45.000 There's criminal referrals now being undertaken.

01:31:48.000 The least we can do is take these activists out of security clearances, out of government, if they're still there, whoever happens to still be there.

01:31:57.000 Or I need your help.

01:31:58.000 I know that you have done great work on this.

01:32:01.000 That list right there, how many of them are still in the government?

01:32:04.000 I wrote this op-ed a few months ago.

01:32:06.000 I don't know how many of them are still in government.

01:32:08.000 Let's get your op-ed up on the screen.

01:32:10.000 Let's get it up on the screen.

01:32:15.000 Let's get the op-ed up on the screen here and we'll show everybody this op-ed.

01:32:20.000 Because, again, this has been known for a while now.

01:32:23.000 And we have to be aggressive.

01:32:26.000 You know, like there's there's a there's a sense of decorum and and some people always say Robert, they'll say things like, why do you have to go public with this?

01:32:35.000 If you have access to the president, why can't you just be private?

01:32:38.000 Why can't you just like quietly take this to the administration?

01:32:42.000 And I say to them, you don't even, you don't even understand what you're talking about.

01:32:45.000 This stuff has been brought to the attention of the administration for months now, right?

01:32:50.000 Like they, they know who has a security clearance. 0.99

01:32:53.000 They're not stupid. 0.96

01:32:54.000 They know who participated in Russia Gate. 0.95

01:32:56.000 They know who participated in the stolen election of 2020.

01:33:03.000 They know who the propagandists are.

01:33:05.000 They know who fabricated intel reports to demonize President Trump and to illegally spy on his campaign.

01:33:13.000 They know, right?

01:33:14.000 They know who is compromised.

01:33:17.000 They know.

01:33:18.000 They know who the bad actors at State Department are.

01:33:20.000 They know who participated in the Iranian spiring.

01:33:23.000 I mean, we could go scandal after scandal after scandal from the Obama administration to the Trump administration.

01:33:30.000 And when I say the Trump administration, I'm talking about the scandals that were uncovered, right?

01:33:35.000 The coup, crossfire hurricane, all of these obstructionist efforts to attack President Trump, the impeachment, the impeachment hearings, all of the foreign setups and the use of foreign intel operatives to try to set the Trump administration up and impeach the president, force him out of the White House.

01:33:56.000 We could go scandal after scandal and identify individuals who still have security clearances who participated and aided in those treasonous acts.

01:34:06.000 And, you know, you said something, you said the least that we could do if George Washington could rip up a treaty is strip people of their clearances.

01:34:13.000 We need to start having a conversation in this country again about the punishment for treason because people will say things like, oh, you know, you're such an extremist or you're advocating for political violence.

01:34:23.000 But why is it that it's so taboo to remind people that the punishment for treason in our country is death?

01:34:30.000 I want to get your take on this.

01:34:31.000 I mean, why, you obviously are very well versed in history.

01:34:36.000 This is U.S. law.

01:34:38.000 I mean, this is on the books.

01:34:40.000 Why is it so taboo to remind people that the punishment for treason in the United States of America is death?

01:34:50.000 It is federal law.

01:34:52.000 And under Article 3, Section 3, treason is levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to Karen.

01:35:01.000 And I think that, again, Russia gave was an act of war. 0.85

01:35:05.000 I think the dilemma constitutionally, and the president has spoken to this, stating that, you know, you should thank me, former President Obama, because of the immunity case.

01:35:15.000 Well, that was not just an immunity case.

01:35:18.000 That has to do with the president's official acts while in office.

01:35:22.000 And so people talk about Barack.

01:35:24.000 Isn't that so funny?

01:35:27.000 I'll let you continue in a second, but isn't it hilarious how they love to say presidential immunity isn't, it's not an excuse.

01:35:33.000 It's not an adequate defense for President Trump.

01:35:36.000 We need to jail President Trump.

01:35:38.000 Remember during the presidential election, how they constantly said, oh, presidential immunity isn't a proper defense.

01:35:43.000 It's not a proper defense.

01:35:44.000 Oh, President Trump is a good idea.

01:35:46.000 It's really a proper defense.

01:35:47.000 President Trump is guilty of an insurrection.

01:35:49.000 He needs to go to jail.

01:35:50.000 Let's take him off the ballot.

01:35:51.000 Let's sue the Insurrection Act, the Insurrection Clause.

01:35:55.000 Oh, we're going to cite this Civil War era clause, and we're going to accuse Donald Trump of not being protected by presidential immunity.

01:36:06.000 It's so crazy how much we were gaslit during the 2024 presidential election as it related to presidential immunity.

01:36:14.000 And now we're being told, oh, well, Obama has presidential immunity.

01:36:17.000 It's just, it's so, it's so funny, isn't it, how, how duplicitous these people are and just how disingenuous and dishonest they are.

01:36:26.000 And I called this.

01:36:27.000 I said, how long before we start hearing the Democrats say that Obama is protected by presidential immunity?

01:36:35.000 I tend to agree.

01:36:36.000 Unfortunately, RussiaGate was an act of war against the American people, in my opinion.

01:36:43.000 And the president at the time, Obama, has war-making power.

01:36:47.000 And so can the president commit treason if treason is levying war?

01:36:53.000 I have to puzzle over that.

01:36:54.000 I don't think he can.

01:36:56.000 But these officials who were testifying to Congress that they weren't using the steel dossier in the intelligence community assessment and they were lying, that they didn't use it in the FISA warrant, but they did, and they were lying, that they were using it the entire time, that they weren't communicating with the Clinton campaign at the time, but they were lying.

01:37:16.000 If you did that to Congress, and there's hundreds of pages of testimony of people going to Congress saying, oh, well, it was salacious and unverified.

01:37:26.000 Well, then why did you use it?

01:37:27.000 Why did you put it in the FISA warrant?

01:37:29.000 Justice Department, James Comey, why'd you put it in there?

01:37:32.000 There's a lot of misleading going on.

01:37:34.000 Maybe in these public sessions, they don't tell you the same thing that's in these private sessions, these classified sessions before the House Intelligence Committee or something like that.

01:37:45.000 Maybe we need to declassify those sessions in front of Congress and say, well, what was James Comey saying behind closed doors?

01:37:53.000 What was John Brennan saying behind closed doors?

01:37:56.000 Maybe we have a right to see what those things were.

01:37:58.000 So there was definitely, I think, probably actionable perjury charges, not against Barack Obama.

01:38:05.000 He wasn't testifying to Congress, but against his subordinates, who at the time were vouching for the steele dossier.

01:38:12.000 They put the president in either a pretty bad position, either Obama knew it was fake and he used it anyways, or he was convinced that it was real.

01:38:20.000 Now, there are certain parts of the intelligence community assessment that have not been discounted.

01:38:25.000 For example, Russia hacked the DNC and put Desta emails and helped put them on WikiLeaks.

01:38:31.000 That finding to date has not yet been overturned, but it does turn up in the Clinton intelligence plan in the Durham annex that we just saw released today.

01:38:40.000 I think this is all highly relevant.

01:38:42.000 We need more investigation.

01:38:43.000 We have to go into this.

01:38:44.000 And anyone who was lying to Congress, I think that Steve Banning could tell us that maybe that process crimes in front of Congress.

01:38:53.000 Well, what's good for the goose is good for DeGander.

01:38:57.000 They can go after those officials for lying to Congress if they did, particularly about the steele dossier.

01:39:02.000 But President Obama, former President Obama, I think that there are war-making powers that the president has.

01:39:09.000 And if Trump hit the wrong target in a bombing or something like that, I don't think that that would be a criminal offense or any precedent for that matter.

01:39:17.000 So we do have a constitution as well that must be upheld.

01:39:22.000 And so I think that the powers of the presidency, I think, are going to be very clearly determined in this context as we explore what does Barack Obama know and when did he know it?

01:39:34.000 Absolutely.

01:39:35.000 What is your prediction of what's going to happen?

01:39:38.000 Do you actually think that under the Trump administration, we're going to see these individuals who've committed these crimes, who have engaged in treason, be criminally prosecuted?

01:39:47.000 Do you think that they're going to face charges?

01:39:50.000 Do you think that we're actually going to see anybody go to jail or is it just a bunch of red meat? 1.00

01:39:55.000 I can't help but I can't help but be annoyed by the fact that the Republicans are on a recess right now.

01:40:01.000 I mean, we just had Tulsi Gabber declassify these documents and instead of staying behind to confirm all of President Trump's nominees, right?

01:40:11.000 The hundreds of nominees who are still outstanding awaiting their Senate confirmations, they go on vacation for an entire month.

01:40:19.000 They're gone for like six weeks.

01:40:21.000 And this is something that the American people have been ghastling over for the last eight years.

01:40:26.000 We've been told that, oh, you know, Russia stole the election for Donald Trump. 0.93

01:40:34.000 President Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin.

01:40:38.000 I mean, every single talking point has been shoved down our throats to the point where it actually incited real acts of political violence. 0.85

01:40:45.000 It tore our country apart.

01:40:47.000 It was a form of mass psychosis.

01:40:49.000 People were completely deranged and consumed by this belief that Russia had actually interfered in our election.

01:40:58.000 Every single night of the first Trump administration, it doesn't matter how many wins President Trump had or all the good he did.

01:41:05.000 Every single night on CNN and MSNBC was Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.

01:41:12.000 So I want to know, do you think anyone's actually going to going to go to jail?

01:41:16.000 We saw President Trump post on True Social the other day this image.

01:41:19.000 I tweeted it.

01:41:20.000 It said that they had committed treason and it was time to lock them up.

01:41:24.000 But look, he also said, lock her up, right?

01:41:27.000 He entertained chance of lock her up throughout his entire campaign.

01:41:31.000 And then when he got in the first term, he said, oh, you know, I'm not going to actually put the wife of a former president, you know, the former first lady in prison.

01:41:38.000 That would be so horrible for our country.

01:41:41.000 And I just, I know how much of a forgiving person Donald Trump is, knowing him on a personal level.

01:41:46.000 I know how gracious he is.

01:41:47.000 And he's actually a lot kinder than people give him credit for.

01:41:50.000 And he's a lot more forgiving than people give him credit for.

01:41:55.000 So I'm just so worried that he's, you know, that there's not going to be any follow-through.

01:41:59.000 I really do worry because he's just such a nice guy.

01:42:02.000 People don't see it, but he really is.

01:42:03.000 He's such a nice guy.

01:42:05.000 And I kind of want him to be vicious. 0.71

01:42:06.000 You know, I kind of want to see him just be so vicious.

01:42:09.000 And it's not even vicious because it's law and order.

01:42:11.000 These people committed a crime.

01:42:12.000 I want to see them go to jail.

01:42:14.000 Is it going to happen?

01:42:16.000 Well, Pan Bondi, as the attorney general, is basically the right hand.

01:42:21.000 And she's going to make that determination.

01:42:23.000 I believe in consultation with everyone at the Justice Department.

01:42:28.000 President Trump, I believe, has some input into that.

01:42:31.000 If he's the chief executive, he can say, we need charges.

01:42:35.000 Something has to be done here.

01:42:36.000 We need to go at the people who were responsible for defrauding the American people and lying to them, for making everyone believe that President Trump was a Manchurian candidate, that he was a Russian agent. 0.86

01:42:48.000 Think of all these civil servants officials from the letter we just looked at.

01:42:53.000 How many of them actually bought this hook, line, and sinker?

01:42:57.000 Thought they were doing their civic patriotic duty.

01:42:59.000 How many people were brainwashed with it?

01:43:02.000 I think that there needs to be accountability.

01:43:05.000 The question becomes then, if we pursue justice, it can lead to reciprocity.

01:43:12.000 It can lead to reprisal.

01:43:13.000 It can lead to escalation.

01:43:16.000 On the other hand, inaction, that can lead to tyranny.

01:43:19.000 That could just be like, oh, well, they can do it to us again and they'll do it forever.

01:43:23.000 They'll never stop doing it.

01:43:25.000 Russia gate is a predicate for much tyranny if it is not addressed. 0.83

01:43:30.000 So do we risk reprisal in order to avert tyranny?

01:43:34.000 I think we must risk reprisal.

01:43:37.000 There has to be something done to create such a deterrent that nobody ever dares think about doing this to a U.S. election again.

01:43:46.000 But Russian interference?

01:43:48.000 What about FBI interference?

01:43:49.000 What about CIA interference?

01:43:52.000 I don't know what the NSA had to do with this, but just intelligence agency, Justice Department influence on the elections, and then thereafter trying to undermine the elected president after he was in office.

01:44:04.000 We had to FISA warrant against the opposition party in an election year.

01:44:08.000 It's unconscionable, unthinkable.

01:44:11.000 Except maybe it's, I don't know, standard operating procedure.

01:44:14.000 Maybe they spy on congressional campaigns all the time.

01:44:17.000 Maybe they vet all the presidential campaigns.

01:44:19.000 Maybe what was done to Donald Trump happens to all the campaigns.

01:44:23.000 I don't know what the truth is of that because I can't see behind closed doors.

01:44:27.000 I don't know how bad this is and how far it goes, but it should never, ever happen again.

01:44:32.000 President Trump, I believe, you know, he ran his, you know, kind of on a peace platform, and I believe that's why he was targeted.

01:44:39.000 I think that he wanted to, you know, make the world a better place and keep America out of wars.

01:44:44.000 We've had these wars go on for 20 years in the Middle East following 9-11.

01:44:49.000 You know, what was the outcome?

01:44:51.000 You know, Trump does a targeted strike into Iran.

01:44:54.000 It's going to be one and done.

01:44:55.000 He wants to get on back to the, you know, keeping America great and keeping us out of these forever wars.

01:45:03.000 If we have to act out of our national security, of course, the president has to maintain the credible use of force.

01:45:09.000 So when it's in our interest to pursue peace, I believe he needs that latitude from the administration not to undermine, not to undercut, not to push for impeachment.

01:45:19.000 Those people should be gone.

01:45:20.000 They should all be fired if there's any of them left.

01:45:22.000 Anyone who had anything to do with Russia Gate, they should all be gone to. 0.97

01:45:26.000 We're running a petition on this.

01:45:28.000 I hope everyone will sign it.

01:45:30.000 You can check out getliberty.org.

01:45:32.000 You can click on the button that says uproot the deep state.

01:45:37.000 And then you can tell President Trump and Marco Rubio, get rid of these people.

01:45:40.000 You're fired.

01:45:41.000 Get the hell out of here.

01:45:42.000 That's what Trump would say.

01:45:45.000 Well, I know for a fact that Marco Rubio and President Trump both have a list of these individuals.

01:45:52.000 The Trump administration has a list of these individuals.

01:45:55.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:45:57.000 You know, nobody can say that they're not aware of these individuals because you have the names, right?

01:46:03.000 I've published the names.

01:46:04.000 I've delivered the names.

01:46:09.000 We've done our duty, Laura.

01:46:10.000 But, you know, the president.

01:46:11.000 We have done our duty.

01:46:12.000 We have done our duty.

01:46:14.000 And so I'm just putting it out there on the record that if any of these individuals' names pop up in the future as antagonists or provocateurs or disruptors, just know that the White House has been given their names.

01:46:30.000 The White House has been given the names and a copy of this letter.

01:46:35.000 Every single name on this.

01:46:37.000 Sign it.

01:46:38.000 They were every single name.

01:46:40.000 What was that?

01:46:42.000 They were proud to sign it.

01:46:43.000 They were proud to sign it.

01:46:44.000 Yes, this is page.

01:46:46.000 And, you know, look, it's a long letter.

01:46:49.000 I mean, we could go through this now.

01:46:50.000 It's like 14 pages long.

01:46:52.000 Okay.

01:46:53.000 Every single page, page one.

01:46:55.000 And I published this on X. People can see it.

01:46:58.000 They can see the tweet themselves if they want to see the letter and you can look into these people, right?

01:47:02.000 Number two.

01:47:04.000 Okay.

01:47:04.000 Here's letter one.

01:47:06.000 Here's the front page.

01:47:10.000 Number one.

01:47:13.000 Just to show everybody how long this is, right?

01:47:16.000 Two.

01:47:18.000 They wanted to be political activists.

01:47:21.000 They wanted to, you know, call for impeachment because Donald Trump had a conversation with Vladimir Zelensky about weapons, about the server, about anything he wanted to talk about and to have a conversation with.

01:47:35.000 I think that's appropriate.

01:47:36.000 The president has the Article II power to conduct foreign affairs.

01:47:40.000 No other person in our country under the Constitution has that power.

01:47:45.000 It is the president.

01:47:46.000 It starts there and stops there.

01:47:49.000 Nine.

01:47:51.000 I mean, literally, you could just keep on talking.

01:47:55.000 Ten.

01:47:57.000 Well, all I'm saying is any one of them that's left with security clearances, President Trump did the right thing.

01:48:05.000 He got rid of the 51 intelligence officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter that falsely claimed that it was Russian disinformation.

01:48:13.000 The laptop was real.

01:48:15.000 Those people shouldn't have anything to do with national security affairs.

01:48:19.000 The people who signed this letter, nothing to do with national security affairs.

01:48:22.000 Not why Donald Trump's in office.

01:48:24.000 If Kamala Harris gets elected again or something, she can put them back into the security clearance.

01:48:29.000 I don't care.

01:48:30.000 That's the president's prerogative.

01:48:32.000 Right now, the president has the prerogative not to have anything to do with these people.

01:48:36.000 Never again must mean never again.

01:48:38.000 And there has to be a consequence for undercutting the chief executive of our country under the Constitution who 77 million people voted for him.

01:48:48.000 There has to be a consequence, but not just for the security officials.

01:48:51.000 There also has to be a consequence for the people who work for President Trump who get this information and then don't act on it.

01:48:58.000 It's one thing to claim that you're ignorant of the information and you don't know the information.

01:49:03.000 What do you think the punishment should be for the people who work for President Trump who are made aware of this information, but they choose not to act on it?

01:49:10.000 Because I think that that is just as severe of a crime as undermining the chief executive, undermining the commander-in-chief, disobeying commands, disobeying orders, hiding evidence from him, keeping information from him.

01:49:24.000 So not only do we have an issue with people subverting and somehow getting past this, you know, this amazing vetting process, I've heard that it's the best vetting process ever, Robert, the best vetting process ever at the White House that they've implemented over there.

01:49:43.000 It's the toughest vetting process to pass, according to what the White House says.

01:49:48.000 Obviously, I'm rolling my eyes right now.

01:49:52.000 But what is the punishment for people who deliberately hide this information from the president?

01:50:00.000 Because this has been out there now and it's been addressed.

01:50:03.000 But when is it going to be acted upon, right?

01:50:06.000 It's not enough for us to simply do the work and inform the Trump administration of this.

01:50:10.000 There's a persistent rut within the administration that continues to grow.

01:50:17.000 It's like a cancer and it's spreading.

01:50:19.000 That's caused by Trump administration officials being aware of information, but choosing to gatekeep information from Donald Trump.

01:50:27.000 The gatekeeping is out of control.

01:50:29.000 And it's having massive national security implications because you bring this information to light, you give it to Trump's team, you give it to his advisors, and it seems like the only way to get action on it is what if I literally print it out myself and I'm in a room with Donald Trump, you know?

01:50:45.000 I mean, I hate to say it, but that's why the media is so crazy.

01:50:48.000 But why does it take somebody on the outside presenting this information to the president?

01:50:53.000 Why are his staff not giving him this information?

01:50:56.000 I think that, you know, particularly with the way the Epstein matter has been handled, particularly with the disclosures we're now seeing out of Russia Gate, a full-scale kind of re-examination, if you will, not only of the administration, but of the federal government in general.

01:51:16.000 Like, who is here who wants to be helpful?

01:51:19.000 They should be more open about we've got problems that we need to, that need to be addressed within the administration.

01:51:25.000 The president is going to ultimately, you know, be held accountable for how this goes down.

01:51:31.000 If he wants to have a cabinet or people in the National Security Council, you know, in 2017, we called for the National Security Council to be disbanded.

01:51:41.000 We called for former presidents to no longer get security briefings back in 2017 because we saw what was going on at the time during Russia Gate.

01:51:51.000 We were terrified of it.

01:51:52.000 We couldn't believe what we were seeing, but it could only be that the people who were surrounding the president were not, you know, not being loyal to the president, being loyal to the Constitution, the fact that he was elected, that he was duly elected, that he had a right to be there.

01:52:10.000 He had the power to be there.

01:52:12.000 He had the duty to be there.

01:52:13.000 He was elected to be there.

01:52:15.000 The government by the people for the people of the people.

01:52:19.000 That's what we're supposed to have.

01:52:21.000 And if we don't have that right now, then it must be addressed.

01:52:25.000 Pam Bondi, please address it.

01:52:27.000 Cash Patel, please address it.

01:52:29.000 Dan Bon Gino, please address it.

01:52:31.000 Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, please address it because we don't have another opportunity at this.

01:52:37.000 You can't assume we're going to win 2028.

01:52:39.000 We're going to win every election.

01:52:40.000 We're going to win the midterms.

01:52:41.000 We can't win everything all the time.

01:52:44.000 Republicans are likely to lose the House in the midterm.

01:52:47.000 They might lose the Senate too if they can't keep their base together.

01:52:52.000 Now, there's a lot of good things going on with the economy.

01:52:55.000 Inflation's cooling down.

01:52:56.000 A lot of good things are happening right now.

01:52:58.000 The one big beautiful bill is going to turn things around.

01:53:00.000 I believe economically, immigration, the best border security in American history, in my opinion. 0.70

01:53:07.000 They've gotten it down to zero.

01:53:09.000 And now there's a lot of great things going on right now.

01:53:12.000 And we would hate to see it undermined by people who are not loyal to the presidency.

01:53:19.000 I think that's really the question there.

01:53:21.000 If there's anyone left who had anything to do with Russia Gate, just get rid of them.

01:53:25.000 If they had anything to do with the impeachment, get rid of them.

01:53:28.000 They shouldn't be there.

01:53:29.000 They can come back later when a Democrat's in there.

01:53:31.000 Democrat president can do whatever they want in that regard.

01:53:34.000 It's crazy, though.

01:53:35.000 It's crazy.

01:53:36.000 There's so many.

01:53:36.000 I agree with everything you just said.

01:53:38.000 There's so many people, though, who are tied to Russia Gate who are still within the administration.

01:53:42.000 You have, I mean, we can go through this.

01:53:44.000 We have a lot of tweets, a lot of examples of people who I've exposed over the last couple weeks.

01:53:51.000 You have a guy named Tom Rackisson.

01:53:54.000 You have a guy named Tom Rackison who is currently a senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.

01:54:03.000 I believe we have my tweet.

01:54:04.000 We could pull this tweet up.

01:54:06.000 And he was the director of operations for John Brennan.

01:54:12.000 He's the guy who literally called for.

01:54:17.000 Oh, I think you've muted yourself.

01:54:20.000 He's the guy.

01:54:21.000 He's the guy.

01:54:22.000 You're back.

01:54:23.000 He's the guy who called for the original meeting after the stolen, well, they said the stolen election of 2016, okay?

01:54:32.000 To say that Russia just stole our election.

01:54:35.000 We have to make sure it never happens again.

01:54:38.000 I have my tweet.

01:54:40.000 We could actually pull this up.

01:54:42.000 Tom Rackisson, I know I never didn't pin this one for my producer, but this guy, Tom Rackisson, let me get the tweet pulled up right now and we'll pull it up so everybody can see this because I don't think I talked about this on last week's episode of Lemur Unleashed, but it's totally insane.

01:54:59.000 Let me pull this up.

01:55:02.000 Everybody can see the screenshots for themselves.

01:55:05.000 But you have to ask yourself, how is a guy like this in the position of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense?

01:55:16.000 How is a guy that was the Director of Operations for John Brennan in that kind of role?

01:55:22.000 Yeah, he thinks that the Russia hack that the DNC and Podesta put up on WikiLeaks was an act of war.

01:55:28.000 It was the digital Pearl Harbor.

01:55:30.000 That's what Democrats were saying thereafter.

01:55:34.000 And that, yeah, the Russians stole the election for Donald Trump.

01:55:38.000 If he doesn't think Donald Trump is a legitimate president, you know, when did he say that, though?

01:55:43.000 What was that like in 2017?

01:55:47.000 This was right after the election.

01:55:49.000 I'm pulling it up right now.

01:55:50.000 I have, there's two, actually, because I want to go over Adam Jones and then I want to go over Tom Rackisson too.

01:55:56.000 Let us see.

01:55:57.000 In any event, you know, people who were in government, who believed that lie, like, I don't know, like, do they need re-education or something?

01:56:08.000 What do you do?

01:56:10.000 People were brainwashed.

01:56:11.000 It wasn't just the government officials.

01:56:13.000 It was an entire nation, at least an entire political party.

01:56:17.000 Only Donald Trump was able to fend it off rather admirably, in my opinion.

01:56:22.000 I think that President Trump did a fantastic job fending off Russia Gate. 0.96

01:56:26.000 The Mueller investigation, which actually exonerated Trump, actually debunked the steeled SCA and all the allegations that there was any conspiracy with Russia.

01:56:35.000 And he got through it all.

01:56:37.000 And somehow we still have a country right now by a thread.

01:56:41.000 I don't know.

01:56:41.000 Like the Constitution is hanging by a thread.

01:56:44.000 If this can happen to any president in the future, I think that, no, we need what Tulsi Gabbard is disclosing, what John Ratcliffe is exposing, what Donald Trump is exposing, Drudy's declassifications.

01:56:58.000 It's too much of an, not merely an eyesore, it's a gaping wound in the Constitution that must be repaired.

01:57:06.000 And there has to be some justice.

01:57:08.000 I don't know if the former president can go to jail for this.

01:57:12.000 I don't know if he needs to.

01:57:13.000 I just know that there needs to be a deterrent so that this never happens again.

01:57:17.000 We have FISA coming up again in 2026.

01:57:20.000 Let Jim Jordan write the bill.

01:57:22.000 Let Jim Jordan write the bill that's going to fix this and make sure this never happens again, or at least try to.

01:57:29.000 We had a church committee.

01:57:30.000 We've had all these church committees again.

01:57:32.000 We've had all these weaponization committees again.

01:57:35.000 They know what they need to do and now they just got to find it.

01:57:38.000 They got to do what is right and they have to do what is just and what they were elected to do.

01:57:43.000 And I, you know, I believe in them.

01:57:44.000 I believe in President Trump.

01:57:46.000 I think he's going to do the right thing here.

01:57:48.000 And we might not see it immediately, but I think justice is coming.

01:57:53.000 I hope so.

01:57:54.000 I found the tweet.

01:57:56.000 Here it is.

01:57:56.000 We're going to get it up on the screen because people have to see it themselves to believe it.

01:58:00.000 It's just so crazy.

01:58:01.000 So you were saying that everybody tied to RussiaGate should be purged.

01:58:04.000 Okay.

01:58:04.000 But it just, here's an example of how people tied to Russia Gate are still, you know, getting elevated to senior roles within the Trump administration.

01:58:12.000 So you can scroll up, go to the original tweet, the one that is the first tweet, the exclusive.

01:58:17.000 Yes, right.

01:58:18.000 Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan's Director of Operations, Tom Rakusin, is currently working at the Department of Defense under the Trump administration as a senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.

01:58:33.000 In another example of a shocking vetting failure that threatens to undermine the Trump administration, Tom Rakusin, a former CIA official who worked for the CIA as John Brennan's director of operations when Brennan was working with Obama, James Clapper, and James Comey to fabricate the intelligence surrounding the Russia collusion hoax to stage a coup against President Trump, is now somehow working under the second Trump administration in a senior role at DOD.

01:58:58.000 Following the 2016 presidential election, Rakusin was also the point man at the CIA in charge of running covert operations on Russia after what he and his colleagues, including Brennan, referred to as the stolen 2016 election by Russia.

01:59:13.000 I mean, it's just unbelievable.

01:59:14.000 You can't make this up.

01:59:15.000 Essentially, as director of operations at the CIA while Brennan was CIA director, Rakusin was an equal player in the Russia collusion hoax that his boss, John Brennan, fabricated evidence for to stage a coup against Trump and to create chaos in our country for eight years.

01:59:31.000 Additionally, according to a new book about the CIA by Tim Weiner called The Mission, which was just published this month, like literally two weeks ago, Tom Rackusin is mentioned in the book as playing a pivotal role in the CIA's Russian influence operation following President Trump's 2016 presidential election victory.

01:59:49.000 In the book, Weiner describes how after the Democrats claimed Russian intelligence began releasing hacked Democrat National Committee emails, as you were referencing earlier, dealing a devastating blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign, Rakusin allegedly called an emergency meeting at the CIA with his colleagues and said, quote, the Russians stole our effing election.

02:00:08.000 How do we make sure this never happens again?

02:00:10.000 Weiner recalls CIA head Tom Rackuson demanding of his staff.

02:00:15.000 So this is the guy who really honestly set off Russia, the Russia collusion hoax.

02:00:20.000 Let's go back to the tweet and continue and then you can see the screenshots.

02:00:25.000 Ironically, this section of Weiner's book is now being used to promote his new book about the CIA, which was published last week.

02:00:33.000 And, you know, it's like the cover of his ex-profile.

02:00:36.000 My discovery that Rakusin is now working at the DOD under the second Trump admin comes this week after DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard urged the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute Barack Hussein Obama and former administration officials, including John Kerry,

02:00:52.000 John Brennan, Susan Rice, and Andrew McCabe for fabricating Russian interference claims to support the Trump-Russia collusion narrative despite warnings from multiple intelligence agencies, including Obama's, including in Obama's December 16th, December 8th, 2016 presidential brief that Russia did not influence the election.

02:01:12.000 So they admitted, and we saw this in the declassified documents, that Russia did not steal the election in 2016.

02:01:20.000 And yet this guy, Rakusin, is the guy who fabricated this within the CIA to call for an emergency meeting to say the Russians just stole our effing election.

02:01:32.000 How do we make sure this never happens again?

02:01:34.000 Now, open up that tweet one last time.

02:01:36.000 We're going to show the screenshots.

02:01:39.000 You can pull up the LinkedIn.

02:01:41.000 Okay.

02:01:41.000 Department of Defense, senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, May 2025 to present, right?

02:01:48.000 Unbelievable.

02:01:48.000 He's just hired.

02:01:49.000 Next.

02:01:51.000 Scroll through.

02:01:52.000 Mr. Rakusin completed 39 years of service with the CIA.

02:01:56.000 His senior assignments during his tenure included Deputy Director for Operations, right, under John Brennan.

02:02:03.000 Here's a screenshot from the book.

02:02:05.000 The CIA embarked on a delicate balancing act working to neutralize the very force that worked to put their new commander in chief in office, Tom Rakuson, then the newly installed chief of the clandestine service called a meeting of senior officials.

02:02:19.000 He told them in so many words, the Russians stole our effing election. 0.96

02:02:22.000 How do we make sure this never happens again?

02:02:24.000 Literally, it says he was one of the key guys made to stop the force that elected Trump, basically to undermine the will of the American people.

02:02:36.000 I think that you're nailing it here.

02:02:39.000 This is just one example.

02:02:40.000 How many more examples are there of officials who were participating in Russiagate, were participating in the impeachment, or both?

02:02:49.000 I think that, you know, really it's the same scandal since both are invoking the impeachment.

02:02:55.000 You're right.

02:02:55.000 This is one example.

02:02:57.000 And he's working as a senior advisor to the deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg, right underneath Pete Hegseth.

02:03:06.000 This is a very serious position.

02:03:08.000 And you are given access to very sensitive, classified information when you work that closely with the Deputy Secretary of Defense.

02:03:17.000 And why would we want one of John Brennan's spies having access to that kind of information under the current Trump administration when he could potentially leak it to his buddy John Brennan And everybody who he participated in the Russia collusion hoax with.

02:03:35.000 You don't want that.

02:03:36.000 I think that the president has to really take a further accounting, you know, down the, you know, not just the secretaries, but not just the deputy secretaries on down the line who's working on staff.

02:03:51.000 It has to happen.

02:03:53.000 And, you know, with the Democratic representation in the civil service in general that we see, it's something on the order of two to one in favor, you know, Democrats are participating in government.

02:04:06.000 This is something that needs to be dealt with immediately at the national security level, but even more broadly, as we go out across all the departments and agencies.

02:04:15.000 Republicans can't allow their institutions to be dominated that are shared by Republicans and Democrats.

02:04:24.000 We have to have parity.

02:04:25.000 Can we get parity?

02:04:26.000 Like, we don't need one-party Republican rule either.

02:04:29.000 We just need more representation, quite honestly, in these institutions.

02:04:34.000 More people need to be teachers.

02:04:36.000 More people need to be bureaucrats. 0.94

02:04:38.000 Like, this is the end result of not participating.

02:04:43.000 Andrew Breitbart used to talk about this, about, you know, and you go into medians, like, you know, like whatever, six to one or nine to one.

02:04:51.000 In universities, it's like 10 to 1 underrepresentation for Republicans and conservatives because they choose not to participate in institutions that they feel are either oppressing them or don't represent them or don't reflect their values.

02:05:06.000 We have to get over it and we have to go in there. 0.66

02:05:10.000 Unfortunately, it's going to suck.

02:05:12.000 It really, really sucks to have to do this job, Laura.

02:05:16.000 You know, this isn't like some, you know, it's a privilege to be here.

02:05:20.000 Thank you to speak to your audience.

02:05:22.000 I hope everyone's listening.

02:05:24.000 But it's tough work.

02:05:25.000 It's tough work.

02:05:26.000 It's not easy work.

02:05:27.000 It takes a lot of time.

02:05:28.000 It's a lot of research.

02:05:29.000 And it's a very ungrateful position in the sense that there's not a lot of gratitude and appreciation for this type of grunt work.

02:05:39.000 Yeah, it's thankless.

02:05:40.000 And, you know, I've been doing this at Americans for Limited Government for 17 years.

02:05:45.000 Rick Manning, he finally went back into the administration.

02:05:49.000 He's the former president of Americans for Limited Government.

02:05:52.000 Some of your viewers might remember seeing him on this particular program.

02:05:56.000 Hello, Rick, if you're watching.

02:05:58.000 He's over at the Labor Department now.

02:06:00.000 Not everyone, I think, in the Trump administration is loyal.

02:06:06.000 They should be there.

02:06:06.000 They're political appointees.

02:06:08.000 You have career officials.

02:06:10.000 You have political appointees that maybe shouldn't be political appointees.

02:06:14.000 I think that everyone who had anything to do with Russia Gates shouldn't be there.

02:06:18.000 The impeachment shouldn't be there.

02:06:21.000 Certainly not the 51 intelligence officials who had their security clearances revoked.

02:06:25.000 They shouldn't be there handling that sensitive national security matters on behalf of President Trump and his administration.

02:06:32.000 I think that's not too much to ask.

02:06:35.000 People want to see more.

02:06:36.000 They want to see prosecutions.

02:06:37.000 They want to see criminal referrals and that sort of thing.

02:06:41.000 The best we can do at this point, staff the administration, let Pambondi figure out what's actually actionable in terms of the Justice Department and the FBI as they conduct those investigations.

02:06:54.000 Dan Bongino keeps on saying that you can't see everything that's going on right now.

02:06:58.000 So I do think we need to have a little patience for whatever they're working on.

02:07:03.000 Not every thing that we think was a crime, we can prove was a crime in front of a jury.

02:07:08.000 Not every case that you want to bring is something that you would put before either a grand jury or just go to try to bring a prosecution.

02:07:18.000 I don't know the details.

02:07:19.000 I can't speak to those matters because people want to see something happen though.

02:07:24.000 And there's enough crimes here against the Constitution, against the American people, against the election.

02:07:29.000 The true interference in 2016 was not, I mean, Russia hacked the DNC and put emails onto WikiLeaks.

02:07:37.000 Well, then what the FBI did and what the Justice Department did and what the intelligence agencies did was really 10 times worse.

02:07:43.000 And they carried on that investigation for 17, 18, 19, halfway into 2019.

02:07:50.000 And then finally, President Trump gets to conduct foreign policy.

02:07:54.000 I don't think so.

02:07:55.000 This must never, ever happen again.

02:07:57.000 And I think that taking account of the administration is step number one.

02:08:02.000 Justice would be step number two.

02:08:04.000 And then we're going to, you know, these disclosures.

02:08:06.000 Thank you, Tulsi Gabbard.

02:08:08.000 Thank you, President Trump.

02:08:09.000 Thank you, Ratcliffe and Pambondi, everyone who's signing off on these declassifications.

02:08:16.000 They are essential to ensuring that we can restore the Article II presidency so that President Trump and all future presidents, Republican or Democrat alike, never must withstand a coup from within.

02:08:28.000 This administrative state must die.

02:08:30.000 They don't deserve what they have if they're able to undermine our elections and our politics in this manner.

02:08:37.000 It must never happen.

02:08:39.000 Absolutely.

02:08:41.000 In closing, Robert, I know you said that you have a call to action, a petition on your website.

02:08:45.000 Where do people go if they want to sign the petition?org, and there's a little button that will say uproot the deep state.

02:08:54.000 And then you can send a letter to President Trump and say to take action against these officials.

02:08:59.000 If any of them are left who signed this letter calling for impeachment, and frankly, anyone else, if it'll let you modify the letter, if it won't let you modify the letter, I'll jump into voter voice there.

02:09:11.000 Make sure that you can add a sentence to that letter.

02:09:15.000 If not, just send the letter.

02:09:17.000 I really appreciate it.

02:09:18.000 Thanks for showing that.

02:09:19.000 Urge President Trump and uproot the deep state.

02:09:23.000 It has to happen.

02:09:25.000 We don't have another chance at this.

02:09:27.000 Don't assume you're going to win the midterms.

02:09:28.000 Don't assume you're going to win 2028.

02:09:30.000 Act now, Mr. President.

02:09:32.000 Now is the time to act.

02:09:33.000 Absolutely.

02:09:34.000 And just your audio popped for a second there.

02:09:37.000 Just the website one last time so people can get it.

02:09:40.000 Getliberty.org.

02:09:42.000 Get liberty.org.

02:09:43.000 Wonderful.

02:09:45.000 Well, Robert, I really appreciate you coming on my show tonight.

02:09:49.000 It's a pleasure to have you on.

02:09:50.000 Thank you for spending so much time explaining this and really kind of putting a price tag on just how much it's costing us to Staff the administration and why it's so important and why vetting matters, because we're talking about doge and waste, fraud, and abuse.

02:10:07.000 And that was a really big theme of the current administration.

02:10:11.000 And yet, you know, here we are. 0.98

02:10:13.000 How much money is being wasted on paying the salaries of these useless career bureaucrats, many of whom are inherently corrupt and obstructionist in nature. 0.98

02:10:25.000 And they do not want to see President Trump succeed. 0.97

02:10:28.000 They are pushing an anti-American agenda, not all of them.

02:10:32.000 But I'm sure that if we were to actually clean house and really have tighter vetting guidelines, we could save the American people a lot of money.

02:10:41.000 That's a lot of money.

02:10:41.000 $271 billion to pay for people's salaries and their benefits, not including the military.

02:10:48.000 So just keep that in mind every single time you see one of these vetting crisis stories and you're wondering, you know, why your taxpayer money is going towards funding the salary of somebody who hates our country and hates President Trump and clearly wants to sow chaos and division in America.

02:11:07.000 Yeah, it can cost us more than $271 billion.

02:11:10.000 It can cost us the Constitution.

02:11:12.000 It can cost us our liberty.

02:11:14.000 This administrative state is allowed to once again march unimpeded into the White House and say who, what the president, what decisions he can make, what wars he can participate in or must participate in, or what decisions he must make.

02:11:29.000 That type of leverage must never again be put on a president or president-elect desk, as it were.

02:11:37.000 It just can't happen.

02:11:39.000 I think that we have to, I don't think we fully come to grips with what happened in 2016, but I do believe it was unprecedented.

02:11:46.000 I have to believe it was unprecedented.

02:11:48.000 We have to restore the presidency of George Washington, of Abraham Lincoln, the Franklin Roosevelt, of John Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.

02:11:58.000 We need that presidency back.

02:12:00.000 I think that President Trump is restoring that presidency.

02:12:04.000 And I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

02:12:06.000 I thank you, Laura, for everything that you're doing on behalf of President Trump to make sure that he gets it right.

02:12:12.000 He needs all the help he can get.

02:12:14.000 He needs your help out there.

02:12:15.000 He needs your support.

02:12:17.000 And I think he's going to do the right thing when we all kind of stick together in 2026 and 2028.

02:12:25.000 We got a long way ahead of us right now.

02:12:27.000 Right now, we need our elected officials and the people who have been appointed to do the right thing.

02:12:32.000 And I believe they will.

02:12:33.000 Thank you so much, Laura.

02:12:35.000 Absolutely.

02:12:35.000 And if people want to follow you, where do they go aside from your website?

02:12:52.000 Thanks so much for joining me tonight.

02:12:53.000 I really appreciate it.

02:12:55.000 You have a good evening.

02:12:57.000 You too.

02:13:01.000 Unbelievable.

02:13:03.000 You know, this is not just costing us valuable time within the Trump administration, but it's costing the taxpayers a lot of money.

02:13:13.000 I want to know your thoughts and comments about our guests and what our guests had to say tonight.

02:13:18.000 So be sure that you head on over to the chat, rumble.com/slash Laura Loomer.

02:13:23.000 Be sure that you repost a live link.

02:13:38.000 Put your comments in the chat.

02:13:40.000 I want to know what you think about this because I just think that it's completely out of control.

02:13:45.000 It's an unsustainable situation, and they've got to get a grip on this vetting crisis.

02:13:52.000 Before we continue to the comments and the questions in the chat, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleash, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

02:14:03.000 Let's cut through the noise.

02:14:05.000 The economy is shaky.

02:14:06.000 Banks are failing.

02:14:07.000 Inflation's eating your savings.

02:14:09.000 But gold and silver, they've held their value throughout every single crisis.

02:14:14.000 But don't get burned buying the wrong type.

02:14:16.000 Those shiny coins and ads, they have a high price and high fees.

02:14:20.000 But when you try to sell, you're going to get less.

02:14:23.000 That's why Dr. Kirk Elliott does it differently with real bullion and no games.

02:14:27.000 Be sure that you head on over to KEPM.com/slash Loomer and get the straight answers.

02:14:32.000 Protect what matters before the next crisis hits.

02:14:36.000 Be sure that you head on over to KEPM.com/slash Loomer, KEPM.com/slash Loomer.

02:14:42.000 Fill out the contact form.

02:14:44.000 Let them know that Laura Loomer sent you.

02:14:46.000 If you prefer to speak to a representative from Kirk Elliott Precious Metals on the phone, you can call them every day of the week.

02:14:52.000 Their number is 720-605-3900.

02:14:56.000 Again, that's 720-605-3900.

02:15:03.000 All right.

02:15:04.000 Before we close out tonight, I'll take a couple questions.

02:15:08.000 Stephman117, how come they haven't freed Joe Exotic yet?

02:15:12.000 I don't know.

02:15:13.000 Interesting.

02:15:20.000 I don't know.

02:15:21.000 Let's see.

02:15:22.000 The sheer amount of grift and traitorous activity is astonishing.

02:15:26.000 Absolutely.

02:15:32.000 Trump better make sure he keeps Laura in his back pocket and never allow anyone to take her away.

02:15:38.000 Would be nice.

02:15:43.000 Let's see.

02:15:43.000 Mikey doesn't want to talk.

02:15:44.000 Says no one's truly going to jail.

02:15:46.000 We might see a handful as an appeasement.

02:15:53.000 Yep, absolutely.

02:15:55.000 I don't know.

02:15:56.000 I don't know if anybody's going to jail, honestly.

02:16:00.000 It's very concerning, to say the least.

02:16:05.000 Private box, Robert is a good man.

02:16:07.000 Thank you, Laura.

02:16:09.000 Absolutely.

02:16:19.000 Thank you.

02:16:20.000 It's out of control.

02:16:22.000 Charlie said, Green looks good on you.

02:18:29.000 The name of my media company is Illuminate Media.

02:18:31.000 You know why I named it Illuminate Media?

02:18:34.000 Because we're illuminating the truth, right?

02:18:36.000 It's spelled I-L-L-O-O-M, right?

02:18:39.000 It like Illume, right?

02:18:41.000 Loomer, Illuminate.

02:18:43.000 Light in the darkness.

02:18:45.000 We're illuminating the truth here at Illuminate Media.

02:18:50.000 So this is something that I've been focused on for a very long time.

02:18:55.000 I founded my media company several years ago and exposing bad actors and shining a light on dark darkness, corruption, fraud, waste abuse.

02:19:08.000 It's at the core of why I created my media company, why I launched my podcast and why I do what I do as an investigative journalist.

02:19:16.000 It's literally in the name of my media company, Illuminate Media, right?

02:19:20.000 We have to shine a light.

02:19:21.000 We have to illuminate the truth.

02:19:23.000 And that's what I'm doing.

02:19:24.000 I'm illuminating the truth.

02:19:26.000 Okay.

02:19:26.000 I'm shining a light.

02:19:28.000 I'm exposing all of these bad actors in the Trump administration who want to pretend like they're loyal, right?

02:19:35.000 They want to pretend like they're loyal.

02:19:36.000 Let's go ahead and play that clip of President Trump one more time because it's just such a powerful clip.

02:19:41.000 It is such a powerful clip of President Trump.

02:19:44.000 And if you don't understand this about President Trump, you're never going to understand what it means to be MAGA.

02:19:48.000 You're never going to understand what it means to be America first.

02:19:51.000 If you don't understand the concept of loyalty and if you don't value loyalty, you're never going to understand what drives me, what drives President Trump and what drives the MAGA movement.

02:20:01.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

02:20:02.000 I built this empire, and I did it by myself.

02:20:07.000 Nobody did it for me.

02:20:10.000 Not Ivana, not Marla, nobody.

02:20:13.000 In fact, I used to say to people, I used to say to people, Someday I'd like to be poor just for a little while just to see who's going to remain loyal to me.

02:20:23.000 There were specifically 24 or 25 people that I have here on who were very disloyal, who shouldn't have been disloyal.

02:20:33.000 And I think that's the thing that I learned more than anything else.

02:20:36.000 Nancy was loyal.

02:20:37.000 Because I'm like this great loyalty freak.

02:20:39.000 I'm loyal to a point of the absurd.

02:20:42.000 I stay with people.

02:20:48.000 I stay with people and I'm staying with President Trump.

02:20:52.000 And look, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a loyalty freak.

02:20:56.000 It clearly led to Donald Trump creating this empire.

02:21:00.000 He said, right, I built this empire and nobody did it for me.

02:21:04.000 I did it by myself.

02:21:05.000 And that's what I'm doing, right?

02:21:07.000 I've built what I have today and nobody did it for me.

02:21:11.000 I've did it.

02:21:12.000 I did it by myself.

02:21:13.000 I've done it by myself.

02:21:14.000 I'm still doing it.

02:21:18.000 And one of the reasons why I've been able to have success in what I do is that I'm loyal.

02:21:27.000 I'm loyal.

02:21:27.000 I'm a loyalty freak.

02:21:29.000 So hopefully with the information that you got out of tonight's episode and all of the information that you get out of my vetting crisis tweets and all of the reports on my website, you start to understand the importance of the concept of loyalty.

02:21:49.000 And the reason why we're in such a mess today as a country and why there's so much division and why there's so much chaos is because there's such a lack of focus on loyalty, right?

02:22:00.000 We live in a, you know, in a disloyal society where people who are disloyal are rewarded.

02:22:06.000 And oftentimes people who are disloyal rise to the top.

02:22:10.000 And it shouldn't be that way.

02:22:11.000 You shouldn't be rewarded for disloyalty.

02:22:14.000 If we are truly eliminating DEI from this administration and it's going to be merit-based, right?

02:22:20.000 Part of being a meritorious, honest, truthful person is also being a loyal person.

02:22:26.000 And so, look, I'm going to get a lot of hate for this.

02:22:29.000 And I know that I'm going to continue to be demonized in the media.

02:22:32.000 I mean, look, there's so many, there's so many articles out there today just attacking me non-stop, constantly attacking me for, you know, for my reporting.

02:22:46.000 But I don't, I'm not going to stop.

02:22:48.000 I don't have any attempt to stop or any desire to stop.

02:22:51.000 I have no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
