Laura Loomer's loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 ousters from the Trump administration so far. The Daily Beast has a list of every scalp she has taken so far, and the media is obsessed with her body count.

00:26:04.000The media is absolutely obsessed with my independent vetting operation that I'm running here.
00:26:11.000And, you know, look, I think it's interesting.
00:26:14.000The 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.
00:26:30.000So they used to constantly demonize me, and they still do.
00:26:43.000Before, 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.
00:27:01.000I'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.
00:27:24.000We 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.
00:27:35.000We'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.
00:27:45.000I got multiple people fired this week.
00:27:47.000I mean, ultimately, it's President Trump's decision, right?
00:27:50.000Who he decides to hire and who he decides to fire and terminate from his administration.
00:28:01.000Tell we're transforming the definition of body count.
00:28:05.000Usually 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.
00:28:14.000But here we have the Daily Beast today.
00:28:16.000Body count, every Trump administration scalp Laura Loomer has taken so far.
00:28:20.000Laura Loomer's loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 ousters so far.
00:28:28.000Last time I checked, there were people who actually, you know, work in the Trump administration.
00:28:34.000They're on our dime as taxpayers getting paid.
00:28:38.000Some of them making close to $200,000 a year.
00:28:41.000Their job is supposed to be to vet for the president, right?
00:28:45.000Comes with all these nice little perks of being a staffer in the White House.
00:28:49.000But hey, last time I checked, there were people who worked in the federal government whose responsibility it was to conduct this vetting.
00:28:56.000So I don't understand why there's so much outrage over the additional vetting that I'm doing independently of the Trump administration.
00:29:07.000This 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.
00:29:17.000And 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.
00:29:26.000And it extends all the way throughout, I guess you could say, every single agency within the Trump administration and within the federal government.
00:29:36.000This isn't something that's just unique to the White House.
00:29:38.000This is something that extends to the Department of Defense, to health and human services, right?
00:29:44.000I mean, we have identified holdovers in nearly every single government agency thus far, especially the intel community.
00:29:54.000It'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.
00:30:05.000We 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.
00:30:18.000Everybody now knows that Russia Gate wasn't just a conspiracy.
00:30:24.000It's now a proven fact that Russia Gate was a hoax.
00:30:28.000It 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.
00:30:44.000We knew were guilty of organizing a spy operation.
00:30:49.000We knew we're guilty of staging a coup against Donald Trump and his first administration.
00:30:54.000And 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.
00:31:08.000I guess my application must have gotten lost along the way.
00:31:14.000I 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.
00:31:35.000But if you're running a vetting operation and you're breaking stories every single day that consume the national media, I don't know.
00:31:42.000I guess that's not worthy of having a White House press pass, but who knows?
00:31:46.000One of these days, one of these days, you know, one of these days, I'm going to be worthy.
00:31:51.000One 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.
00:32:05.000But until then, I guess I'm just going to have to continue my vetting operation from the outside.
00:32:14.000MAGA loyalist Laura Loomer has been on a tear.
00:32:17.000Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists, it's so funny.
00:32:20.000They call me a conspiracy theorist, yet everything that I'm posting is true.
00:32:24.000Everything that I'm posting is a fact.
00:32:27.000Everything 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.
00:32:40.000So many people are elevated, and so many people continue to be rewarded for falling short.
00:32:45.000We were told that this was not going to be a DEI administration, but I don't know.
00:32:50.000Isn'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?
00:32:58.000I mean, I thought that this was a merit-based administration.
00:33:02.000Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists and provocateurs taking credit for the removal of one Trump administration official after another.
00:33:11.000While President Trump has tried to downplay her influence, I mean, nowhere did President Trump try to downplay my influence.
00:33:18.000I 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?
00:33:27.000I'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.
00:33:38.000Loomer's deeply researched loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 removals.
00:33:44.000Loomer, a self-described Islamophobe who called 9-11 an inside job, once operated at the fringes of the MAGA movement.
00:33:51.000But 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.
00:34:01.000Here's Loomer's political body count to date.
00:34:04.000Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Schleifer.
00:34:53.000Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey.
00:34:56.000I 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?
00:35:13.000Why 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?
00:35:25.000Why 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?
00:35:34.000It's crazy to think that, you know, they had an entire transition team.
00:35:38.000You have all these geniuses over at the DOJ.
00:35:42.000You 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.
00:35:52.000And then they try to demonize me and they, you know, they try to make me out to be a villain.
00:35:58.000But at the end of the day, everybody loves a villain.
00:36:48.000And that's what these people don't like.
00:36:50.000They don't like the fact that the truth is being exposed.
00:36:52.000They 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.
00:37:07.000They 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.
00:37:21.000They absolutely hate it because they hate those who they cannot control.
00:37:26.000And that's why I'm not in the administration.
00:37:28.000Not because I'm not talented, not because I'm not smart.
00:37:31.000I mean, shit, I'm a lot smarter than a lot of these people, obviously.
00:37:44.000And 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.
00:38:05.000It doesn't matter how dedicated you are.
00:38:08.000It also doesn't really matter how loyal you are at the end of the day.
00:38:11.000It doesn't matter how dedicated you are or how loyal you are, how smart you are, how driven you are, how much you sacrifice.
00:38:18.000It doesn't matter because you're never going to be worthy in their eyes unless you allow yourself to be controlled.
00:38:25.000And if you don't allow yourself to be controlled, you will forever be on the outside.
00:38:32.000You 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.
00:38:42.000They are willing to pay for you to go away and be silent, right?
00:38:47.000We 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.
00:39:46.000That's why they're not able to enact change.
00:39:48.000That's why, it's not that they don't want to enact change.
00:39:51.000They 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.
00:40:13.000I don't even have a White House press pass, but I'm able to expose this information.
00:40:19.000So 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?
00:40:34.000All of this obstruction that is happening within the Trump administration.
00:40:38.000How 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
00:40:55.000Mar-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.
00:41:17.000How 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
00:41:37.000taxpayer 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
00:41:52.000clearances, 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.
00:42:16.000They 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.
00:42:33.000They 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.
00:42:57.000These people deserve to be named and shamed and perp-walked into the public square and humiliated.
00:43:05.000What they really deserve is the punishment for treason on the books.
00:43:09.000I mean, we all know what that is, right?
00:43:10.000We all know what the real punishment for treason is in this country.
00:43:13.000I 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.
00:43:21.000We'd be talking about having military tribunals and political executions, okay?
00:43:28.000I'm not advocating for political violence, but that's what we would be talking about if we had actual justice in this country, okay?
00:43:35.000The punishment for treason in this country is death.
00:43:38.000And nobody really wants to have a conversation about that.
00:43:42.000Last 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.
00:43:50.000YouTube is going to ban us if we have a conversation about this.
00:43:53.000Well, I'm like, why are we talking about tech companies banning people for having a conversation about the laws of this land?
00:44:02.000Why 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?
00:44:13.000Why are we talking about these people silencing the speech of American citizens who are talking about civics in the United States of America?
00:44:21.000These people don't just want to evade accountability.
00:44:26.000They don't just want to evade punishment for their crimes and for their disloyalty and the treason that they've committed.
00:44:37.000They want to silence people and they want to demonize people who are speaking truth about law and order.
00:44:44.000They want to silence people who are speaking truth about justice in the American way.
00:44:52.000They hate me because they can't control me.
00:44:55.000They 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.
00:45:18.000They're not as important as they think they are.
00:45:20.000I mean, that's really what these people want.
00:45:23.000They 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?
00:46:26.000They 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.
00:46:38.000They 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.
00:47:01.000But 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.
00:47:14.000I'm completely unleashed and I'm uncensored and I'm unchained and I'm uncontrollable.
00:47:34.000Donald 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.
00:47:46.000And, you know, perhaps I'm meant to be on the outside.
00:47:49.000You know, maybe there's a reason why I'm on the outside.
00:47:51.000Perhaps 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.
00:48:01.000I'd be bound by the rules and the regulations of the federal government.
00:48:38.000And 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.
00:48:49.000They're going to continue knifing people just like they knifed me to get places where they want to go.
00:48:55.000And at the end of the day, when people get knifed, who do you think they come to?
00:50:20.000It's like this mentality of, oh, the crocodile is going to eat me last.
00:50:23.000Eventually, you're going to get knifed too.
00:50:24.000If 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.
00:50:36.000People want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.
00:52:38.000And we'll play the clip for you tonight.
00:52:41.000But this is the problem is that they mocked Donald Trump for talking about loyalty when he ran for president the first time.
00:52:50.000He was able to convey the importance of loyalty to the American people.
00:52:57.000The concept of America first, being loyal to your country, right?
00:53:02.000A foreign concept to so many people in Washington, D.C., who have been selling our country out for so long.
00:53:09.000And 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.
00:53:26.000Like I said, people want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.
00:53:29.000Every single time somebody's doing better than you, right?
00:53:44.000They're like, oh, Laura calls herself the loyalty enforcer.
00:53:48.000Oh, you know, she has these purity tests.
00:53:49.000It'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.
00:56:06.000Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and self-described Trump administration loyalty enforcer, has had another busy stretch.
00:56:12.000Last 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.
00:56:25.000Then 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.
00:56:40.000On 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.
00:56:50.000Ms. 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.
00:57:05.000They are the most recent examples of government officials being loomered in Ms. Loomer's own parlance.
00:57:11.000A 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.
00:57:26.000Kevin 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.
00:57:36.000You 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.
00:57:48.000So 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.
00:57:59.000People 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.
00:58:12.000But that's not dangerous for our country.
00:58:15.000I am so dangerous for telling the president the truth about these people and their records of infidelity.
00:58:23.000But 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.
00:58:42.000And she was sick, just like Joe Biden.
00:58:45.000I 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.
00:58:59.000And 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.
00:59:21.000That'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.
00:59:38.000That's not dangerous, but telling the truth is dangerous.
00:59:44.000This 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.
00:59:58.000But then these people have no problem with administration officials burrowing themselves.
01:00:04.000First of all, why do you even want to work for Trump if you hate Trump?
01:00:06.000If 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.
01:00:23.000If you really believe these things, why do you even want to work for Trump?
01:00:27.000Isn't that the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and over again?
01:00:32.000Why do you want to work for Trump if you hate him?
01:00:35.000If 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?
01:00:46.000Aren'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?
01:00:54.000Vinay 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.
01:01:40.000Apparently, I'm on the payroll, a big pharma.
01:01:42.000I'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.
01:01:57.000Like he's some Haitian immigrant doing voodoo in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets.
01:02:03.000I'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.
01:03:59.000You 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.
01:04:16.000There's a vetting crisis and it needs to be addressed and it needs to be called out.
01:04:21.000And 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.
01:04:44.000I'm 32 years old, pretty much dedicating my entire 20s as a young woman, okay, to supporting President Trump.
01:04:54.000Okay, 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.
01:05:13.000We'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.
01:06:31.000That's the excuse, I guess, is getting these people to vote for you.
01:06:36.000And 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.
01:06:46.000And 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.
01:06:52.000Oh, and then they got to put their sister in a roll.
01:07:20.000I 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.
01:07:41.000The disgraceful campaign against a top FDA official.
01:08:50.000That'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.
01:09:24.000You're a brilliant scientific mind, but you practice voodoo.
01:09:27.000I want to see what the chat thinks about this.
01:09:29.000And then we're going to bring our guest on.
01:09:31.000We'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.
01:09:45.000I 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.
01:10:10.000Let's see if anybody has any questions.
01:10:15.000Trump should be paying you to identify these losers, Laura.
01:10:19.000Well, look, it's not even about the money for me, right?
01:10:23.000I just want to support and protect President Trump from these people who want to derail him.
01:10:32.000It's just, it's totally out of control.
01:10:35.000Before 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.
01:11:31.000Because I called Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
01:11:33.000And 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.
01:11:48.000Call economist Kirk Elliott at 720-605-3900 or schedule a call online at KEPM.com/slash Loomer to learn how you can safely grow your retirement portfolio with precious metals.
01:12:00.000Be sure that you head on over to KEPM.com/slash Loomer, KEPM.com/slash Loomer.
01:12:06.000They've created this lovely landing page here, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, for the viewers of Loomer Unleashed.
01:12:13.000Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, you can insert your email, your name, your last name, your contact information, and get in touch with their trusted team of professionals today.
01:12:22.000They'll answer all your questions about investing in precious metals.
01:12:37.000Nothing but great comments and feedback from those of you who watch my show who have purchased precious metals from Dr. Kirk Elliott and his team of trusted professionals.
01:12:49.000It's a great time to invest in gold and silver.
01:12:52.000So look, I think that not only is Dr. Kirk Elliott probably, you know, the best place to purchase your precious metals, but he's also etiologically aligned.
01:13:02.000And in an age where we're still dealing with cancel culture and so many executives of companies that don't want to support President Trump and his vision of America First, it's an honor to be able to support a precious metals company that actually stands with President Trump and supports independent content creators like myself, supports President Trump's vision for America, supports the America First agenda, and supports my show, supports free speech.
01:13:27.000If it weren't for Dr. Kirk Elliott and Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, I would not be able to broadcast this program to you every single week and bring you this truth.
01:14:14.000This is such a recurring theme in the Trump administration that we actually made it an official segment of the show.
01:14:22.000We made it an official segment of the show.
01:14:25.000I 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.
01:14:36.000But we are now going on eight months of the Trump administration, and this issue appears to only be getting worse.
01:14:44.000So 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?
01:14:55.000Several 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.
01:15:20.000Canon did a great job making that stinger for me.
01:15:23.000So 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,
01:15:44.000disloyal 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.
01:15:59.000Robert, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
01:16:01.000It's a pleasure to have you live on the program.
01:16:53.000I'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.
01:17:01.000There's so many good things happening, even with slim majorities in Congress.
01:17:07.000But it is very frustrating to see what is going on in the federal administration right now.
01:17:13.000I 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,
01:17:35.000with 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,
01:18:00.000But again, with Carter Page and with the July 2016 Clinton intelligence plan assessment we just saw with the Durham annex that just got released.
01:18:11.000All of this is unbelievable, but totally well within our, you know, we can believe it because this is not fiction.
01:18:20.000This is the reality of what they've been doing to President Trump.
01:18:23.000And you have more than 2.9 million, 2.3 million if you take out the, you know, the post school service.
01:18:32.000There's another 2 million, 2.1 million who are in the armed services and about 700,000 in the reserves.
01:18:40.000But 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.
01:18:50.000You 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.
01:19:00.000That includes benefits, wages, health insurance, pensions.
01:19:14.000That's the cost of all of the, that's not including the military, though.
01:19:18.000We're not including the armed services in that budget.
01:19:20.000That'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.
01:19:31.000That's just what we're paying these nine to fivers in Washington, D.C. to work is $271 billion a year.
01:19:39.000Yeah, and on the military side, just so we're clear, $551 billion, $230 billion for DOD, $321 billion for veterans affairs.
01:19:51.000But focusing on that $271 billion, you have about $100,000 average salary.
01:19:59.000But 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.
01:20:11.000So 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.
01:20:18.000And even if you're a former employee, we've saw this situation with security clearances, working for federal contractors.
01:20:26.000Even 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.
01:20:35.000And I recently did an op-ed where we were talking about what to do with the people who were signing the 2019 impeachment letter.
01:20:45.000More than 300 former national security and other department and agency officials were calling for President Trump to be impeached.
01:20:54.000Yeah, we have the tweet I posted about this too.
01:20:59.000And so let's go ahead and get my tweet up so people can see what we're talking about.
01:21:04.000This is a tweet that I posted the other day.
01:21:07.000Again, a continuation of the White House vetting crisis.
01:21:10.000We're getting it pulled up here on the screen.
01:21:15.000Dozens 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.
01:21:26.000And some of these people still work in the second Trump administration as federal employees and or government contractors.
01:21:33.000So what's interesting is that, you know, we have two issues here.
01:21:38.000We have the vetting crisis as it relates to people who are being hired to fill these positions in the federal government.
01:21:46.000You 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.
01:22:02.000I 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.
01:22:13.000I 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?
01:22:40.000There'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.
01:22:47.000But we have evidence of dozens of individuals who signed this letter.
01:22:52.000We can show the letter on the screen here.
01:22:54.000From September 27, 2019 to statements from national security professionals.
01:23:02.000As national security professionals, many of us have long been concerned with President Trump's actions and their implications for our safety and security.
01:23:21.000But many of us have eschewed politics throughout our careers and as a result, have not weighed in publicly.
01:23:28.000The revelations of recent days, however, demand a response.
01:23:32.000Specifically, 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.
01:23:44.000We applaud those members of Congress, including Speaker Pelosi, who have now started us down that necessary path.
01:23:58.000President 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.
01:24:07.000That 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.
01:24:20.000Having 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.
01:24:30.000Our 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.
01:24:39.000The 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.
01:24:56.000If 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.
01:25:08.000To be clear, we do not wish to prejudge the totality of the facts or Congress's deliberative process.
01:25:24.000From 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.
01:25:34.000So, again, scroll up and you'll see those of you watching right now, September 27th, 2019.
01:25:41.000That was when President Trump was president.
01:25:43.000So, 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.
01:25:55.000Okay, there's about 300 names on this letter.
01:25:58.00051 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.
01:26:12.000And 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.
01:26:24.000I don't even think most people are aware of this letter.
01:26:26.000Most 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.
01:26:39.000They literally undermined the commander-in-chief while they were working inside the Trump administration in 2019.
01:26:47.000They were working for the Trump administration and they did not get fired.
01:26:54.000So, not only, okay, like 2019, 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
01:27:03.000Okay, like, are people understanding the gravity of the situation?
01:27:08.000For the last, let me just, Laura, let me help you out here.
01:27:12.000A lot of the officials on that particular letter were particularly former officials, but who retained the state of the country?
01:27:18.000But 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.
01:27:33.000For 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.
01:27:56.000So 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.
01:28:13.000Some 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.
01:28:21.000But 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.
01:28:37.000I 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.
01:28:46.000They should want to help make America great again.
01:28:48.000They should want to help the president accomplish his goals.
01:28:52.000When you have career civil servants, going back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, you have a merit system.
01:28:58.000It's really, really hard to fire people.
01:29:00.000In 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.
01:29:10.000Senator Marco Rubio at the time led that effort and got it.
01:29:18.000Barry Lavermilk has had legislation, the Merit Act, that would allow for firings across the federal government to make it a lot easier.
01:29:26.000Culturally, there's a lot of problems, I think, for Republicans who maybe shy away from government service.
01:29:33.000We also see this at the state level working for, you know, as teachers, things like that.
01:29:37.000In the federal civil service or just civil service in general, some surveys show about a two-to-one advantage for Democrats.
01:29:45.000So 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.
01:30:02.000And 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.
01:30:19.000And President Trump was attempting to potentially utilize weapons sales or weapons to Ukraine as leverage.
01:30:50.000But 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.
01:31:02.000He told France to go pound sand when they wanted to go wage war all across Europe.
01:31:26.000I think RussiaGate was meant to push Trump.
01:31:29.000into taking a more aggressive posture there.
01:31:32.000And then they used that as an example for Joe Biden to make sure that he would do the same exact thing.
01:31:36.000I think Russia Gate was an act of war against the American people, against our Constitution.
01:31:41.000Unfortunately, a lot of people have not been held accountable.
01:31:45.000There's criminal referrals now being undertaken.
01:31:48.000The 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.
01:32:26.000You 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?
01:32:35.000If you have access to the president, why can't you just be private?
01:32:38.000Why can't you just like quietly take this to the administration?
01:32:42.000And I say to them, you don't even, you don't even understand what you're talking about.
01:32:45.000This stuff has been brought to the attention of the administration for months now, right?
01:32:50.000Like they, they know who has a security clearance.
01:33:18.000They know who the bad actors at State Department are.
01:33:20.000They know who participated in the Iranian spiring.
01:33:23.000I mean, we could go scandal after scandal after scandal from the Obama administration to the Trump administration.
01:33:30.000And when I say the Trump administration, I'm talking about the scandals that were uncovered, right?
01:33:35.000The 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.
01:33:56.000We could go scandal after scandal and identify individuals who still have security clearances who participated and aided in those treasonous acts.
01:34:06.000And, 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.
01:34:13.000We 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.
01:34:23.000But why is it that it's so taboo to remind people that the punishment for treason in our country is death?
01:34:52.000And under Article 3, Section 3, treason is levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to Karen.
01:35:01.000And I think that, again, Russia gave was an act of war.
01:35:05.000I 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.
01:35:15.000Well, that was not just an immunity case.
01:35:18.000That has to do with the president's official acts while in office.
01:36:56.000But 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.
01:37:16.000If 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.
01:37:34.000Maybe 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.
01:37:45.000Maybe we need to declassify those sessions in front of Congress and say, well, what was James Comey saying behind closed doors?
01:37:53.000What was John Brennan saying behind closed doors?
01:37:56.000Maybe we have a right to see what those things were.
01:37:58.000So there was definitely, I think, probably actionable perjury charges, not against Barack Obama.
01:38:05.000He wasn't testifying to Congress, but against his subordinates, who at the time were vouching for the steele dossier.
01:38:12.000They 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.
01:38:20.000Now, there are certain parts of the intelligence community assessment that have not been discounted.
01:38:25.000For example, Russia hacked the DNC and put Desta emails and helped put them on WikiLeaks.
01:38:31.000That 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.
01:38:44.000And anyone who was lying to Congress, I think that Steve Banning could tell us that maybe that process crimes in front of Congress.
01:38:53.000Well, what's good for the goose is good for DeGander.
01:38:57.000They can go after those officials for lying to Congress if they did, particularly about the steele dossier.
01:39:02.000But President Obama, former President Obama, I think that there are war-making powers that the president has.
01:39:09.000And 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.
01:39:17.000So we do have a constitution as well that must be upheld.
01:39:22.000And 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?
01:39:35.000What is your prediction of what's going to happen?
01:39:38.000Do 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?
01:39:47.000Do you think that they're going to face charges?
01:39:50.000Do you think that we're actually going to see anybody go to jail or is it just a bunch of red meat?
01:39:55.000I can't help but I can't help but be annoyed by the fact that the Republicans are on a recess right now.
01:40:01.000I mean, we just had Tulsi Gabber declassify these documents and instead of staying behind to confirm all of President Trump's nominees, right?
01:40:11.000The hundreds of nominees who are still outstanding awaiting their Senate confirmations, they go on vacation for an entire month.
01:40:21.000And this is something that the American people have been ghastling over for the last eight years.
01:40:26.000We've been told that, oh, you know, Russia stole the election for Donald Trump.
01:40:34.000President Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin.
01:40:38.000I mean, every single talking point has been shoved down our throats to the point where it actually incited real acts of political violence.
01:41:20.000It said that they had committed treason and it was time to lock them up.
01:41:24.000But look, he also said, lock her up, right?
01:41:27.000He entertained chance of lock her up throughout his entire campaign.
01:41:31.000And 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.
01:41:38.000That would be so horrible for our country.
01:41:41.000And I just, I know how much of a forgiving person Donald Trump is, knowing him on a personal level.
01:42:36.000We 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.
01:42:48.000Think of all these civil servants officials from the letter we just looked at.
01:42:53.000How many of them actually bought this hook, line, and sinker?
01:42:57.000Thought they were doing their civic patriotic duty.
01:42:59.000How many people were brainwashed with it?
01:43:02.000I think that there needs to be accountability.
01:43:05.000The question becomes then, if we pursue justice, it can lead to reciprocity.
01:43:52.000I 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.
01:44:04.000We had to FISA warrant against the opposition party in an election year.
01:44:55.000He wants to get on back to the, you know, keeping America great and keeping us out of these forever wars.
01:45:03.000If we have to act out of our national security, of course, the president has to maintain the credible use of force.
01:45:09.000So 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.
01:46:14.000And 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.
01:46:30.000The White House has been given the names and a copy of this letter.
01:47:18.000They wanted to be political activists.
01:47:21.000They 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.
01:47:57.000Well, all I'm saying is any one of them that's left with security clearances, President Trump did the right thing.
01:48:05.000He got rid of the 51 intelligence officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter that falsely claimed that it was Russian disinformation.
01:48:38.000And there has to be a consequence for undercutting the chief executive of our country under the Constitution who 77 million people voted for him.
01:48:48.000There has to be a consequence, but not just for the security officials.
01:48:51.000There 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.
01:48:58.000It's one thing to claim that you're ignorant of the information and you don't know the information.
01:49:03.000What 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?
01:49:10.000Because 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.
01:49:24.000So 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.
01:49:43.000It's the toughest vetting process to pass, according to what the White House says.
01:49:48.000Obviously, I'm rolling my eyes right now.
01:49:52.000But what is the punishment for people who deliberately hide this information from the president?
01:50:00.000Because this has been out there now and it's been addressed.
01:50:03.000But when is it going to be acted upon, right?
01:50:06.000It's not enough for us to simply do the work and inform the Trump administration of this.
01:50:10.000There's a persistent rut within the administration that continues to grow.
01:50:17.000It's like a cancer and it's spreading.
01:50:19.000That's caused by Trump administration officials being aware of information, but choosing to gatekeep information from Donald Trump.
01:50:29.000And 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?
01:50:45.000I mean, I hate to say it, but that's why the media is so crazy.
01:50:48.000But why does it take somebody on the outside presenting this information to the president?
01:50:53.000Why are his staff not giving him this information?
01:50:56.000I 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.
01:51:16.000Like, who is here who wants to be helpful?
01:51:19.000They should be more open about we've got problems that we need to, that need to be addressed within the administration.
01:51:25.000The president is going to ultimately, you know, be held accountable for how this goes down.
01:51:31.000If 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.
01:51:41.000We 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.
01:51:52.000We 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.
01:54:42.000Tom 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.
01:55:02.000Everybody can see the screenshots for themselves.
01:55:05.000But 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?
01:55:16.000How is a guy that was the Director of Operations for John Brennan in that kind of role?
01:55:22.000Yeah, he thinks that the Russia hack that the DNC and Podesta put up on WikiLeaks was an act of war.
01:55:57.000In 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?
01:56:11.000It wasn't just the government officials.
01:56:13.000It was an entire nation, at least an entire political party.
01:56:17.000Only Donald Trump was able to fend it off rather admirably, in my opinion.
01:56:22.000I think that President Trump did a fantastic job fending off Russia Gate.
01:56:26.000The Mueller investigation, which actually exonerated Trump, actually debunked the steeled SCA and all the allegations that there was any conspiracy with Russia.
01:56:41.000Like the Constitution is hanging by a thread.
01:56:44.000If 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.
01:56:58.000It's too much of an, not merely an eyesore, it's a gaping wound in the Constitution that must be repaired.
01:58:04.000But 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.
01:58:12.000So you can scroll up, go to the original tweet, the one that is the first tweet, the exclusive.
01:58:18.000Former 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.
01:58:33.000In 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.
01:58:58.000Following 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.
01:59:15.000Essentially, 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.
01:59:31.000Additionally, 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.
01:59:49.000In 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.
02:00:08.000How do we make sure this never happens again?
02:00:10.000Weiner recalls CIA head Tom Rackuson demanding of his staff.
02:00:15.000So this is the guy who really honestly set off Russia, the Russia collusion hoax.
02:00:20.000Let's go back to the tweet and continue and then you can see the screenshots.
02:00:25.000Ironically, this section of Weiner's book is now being used to promote his new book about the CIA, which was published last week.
02:00:33.000And, you know, it's like the cover of his ex-profile.
02:00:36.000My 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,
02:00:52.000John 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.
02:01:12.000So they admitted, and we saw this in the declassified documents, that Russia did not steal the election in 2016.
02:01:20.000And 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.
02:01:32.000How do we make sure this never happens again?
02:01:34.000Now, open up that tweet one last time.
02:02:05.000The 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.
02:02:19.000He told them in so many words, the Russians stole our effing election.
02:02:22.000How do we make sure this never happens again?
02:02:24.000Literally, 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.
02:03:08.000And you are given access to very sensitive, classified information when you work that closely with the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
02:03:17.000And 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.
02:03:36.000I 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.
02:03:53.000And, 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.
02:04:06.000This 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.
02:04:15.000Republicans can't allow their institutions to be dominated that are shared by Republicans and Democrats.
02:04:38.000Like, this is the end result of not participating.
02:04:43.000Andrew 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.
02:04:51.000In 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.
02:05:06.000We have to get over it and we have to go in there.
02:06:37.000They want to see criminal referrals and that sort of thing.
02:06:41.000The 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.
02:06:54.000Dan Bongino keeps on saying that you can't see everything that's going on right now.
02:06:58.000So I do think we need to have a little patience for whatever they're working on.
02:07:03.000Not every thing that we think was a crime, we can prove was a crime in front of a jury.
02:07:08.000Not 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.
02:08:09.000Thank you, Ratcliffe and Pambondi, everyone who's signing off on these declassifications.
02:08:16.000They 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.
02:08:41.000In closing, Robert, I know you said that you have a call to action, a petition on your website.
02:08:45.000Where do people go if they want to sign the petition?org, and there's a little button that will say uproot the deep state.
02:08:54.000And then you can send a letter to President Trump and say to take action against these officials.
02:08:59.000If 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.
02:09:11.000Make sure that you can add a sentence to that letter.
02:09:50.000Thank 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.
02:10:07.000And that was a really big theme of the current administration.
02:10:13.000How much money is being wasted on paying the salaries of these useless career bureaucrats, many of whom are inherently corrupt and obstructionist in nature.
02:10:25.000And they do not want to see President Trump succeed.
02:10:28.000They are pushing an anti-American agenda, not all of them.
02:10:32.000But 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$271 billion to pay for people's salaries and their benefits, not including the military.
02:10:48.000So 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.
02:11:07.000Yeah, it can cost us more than $271 billion.
02:11:14.000This 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.
02:11:29.000That type of leverage must never again be put on a president or president-elect desk, as it were.
02:13:40.000I want to know what you think about this because I just think that it's completely out of control.
02:13:45.000It's an unsustainable situation, and they've got to get a grip on this vetting crisis.
02:13:52.000Before 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.
02:16:52.000There you have the one about the DOJ auditor fired after Loomer exposes her marriage to violent Antifa sympathizer behind an ice block app that endangers federal agents.
02:17:04.000John Cornyn busted for manipulating Trump rally audio to deceive Texas voters.
02:17:10.000Biden-era holdover behind Mar-a-Laga raids still employed in the Trump administration.
02:17:16.000Every single day over at Lumered.com, I'm breaking stories about the ongoing vetting crisis in the Trump administration that just continues to get worse and worse.
02:17:26.000And that's why it's so important that you support the work that I'm doing here at Loomer Unleashed.
02:17:31.000Be sure that you're following me on rumble rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
02:17:35.000Click the follow button, the green button.
02:17:41.000Or you can click the Get Lumered button and support my work by paying $7 a month or $70 a year.
02:17:48.000And that will financially support my broadcast, my publication, or you can also make a one-time contribution on locals, or you can also make a contribution on my website.
02:17:58.000If you go to my website, my mailing address is there.
02:18:15.000That's a nice photo of me and President Trump.
02:18:18.000Any contribution you make goes towards supporting the work that we do here at Loomer Unleash to expose the vetting crisis and shine a light on bad actors.
02:18:29.000The name of my media company is Illuminate Media.
02:18:31.000You know why I named it Illuminate Media?
02:18:34.000Because we're illuminating the truth, right?
02:19:28.000I'm exposing all of these bad actors in the Trump administration who want to pretend like they're loyal, right?
02:19:35.000They want to pretend like they're loyal.
02:19:36.000Let's go ahead and play that clip of President Trump one more time because it's just such a powerful clip.
02:19:41.000It is such a powerful clip of President Trump.
02:19:44.000And if you don't understand this about President Trump, you're never going to understand what it means to be MAGA.
02:19:48.000You're never going to understand what it means to be America first.
02:19:51.000If 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.
02:20:13.000In 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.
02:20:23.000There were specifically 24 or 25 people that I have here on who were very disloyal, who shouldn't have been disloyal.
02:20:33.000And I think that's the thing that I learned more than anything else.
02:21:29.000So 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.
02:21:49.000And 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?
02:22:00.000We live in a, you know, in a disloyal society where people who are disloyal are rewarded.
02:22:06.000And oftentimes people who are disloyal rise to the top.
02:22:11.000You shouldn't be rewarded for disloyalty.
02:22:14.000If we are truly eliminating DEI from this administration and it's going to be merit-based, right?
02:22:20.000Part of being a meritorious, honest, truthful person is also being a loyal person.
02:22:26.000And so, look, I'm going to get a lot of hate for this.
02:22:29.000And I know that I'm going to continue to be demonized in the media.
02:22:32.000I 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.
02:22:48.000I don't have any attempt to stop or any desire to stop.
02:22:51.000I have no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
02:22:54.000I'm going to keep on exposing these people, exposing these bad actors, And continuing my investigations and operating my own independent vetting operation outside of the Trump administration.
02:23:09.000And I hope that you will continue to support me along this journey and that you will support my efforts by subscribing to my podcast and supporting my work financially, whether it be through super chats or subscribing on my locals page or making a contribution on my website, because this is very important work.
02:23:26.000This is very important work, not just to support President Trump and to make America great again, but to salvage our country and to save and protect our Constitution and all of the values that we hold dear as Americans.
02:23:41.000So with that, I want to thank you so much for tuning in tonight.
