Since 1953, over 1 million veterans, their families, and civilians were exposed to highly toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like TCE, PCE, vinyl chloride, and benzene. These compounds were found in the base s groundwater with contamination levels far exceeding safe limits. Despite clear evidence of harm, federal officials within our government concealed this issue, delaying action until 1987 and leaving all of these victims without recourse for many years.

00:22:23.000Victims of the Camp Le Jeune water contamination crisis have been denied the compensation that they deserve, despite suffering from Cancers, neurological disorders, and other devastating illnesses caused by toxic exposure.
00:22:36.000From 1953 to 1987, over 1 million veterans, their families, and civilians were exposed to highly toxic volatile organic compounds, otherwise known as VOCs, like TCE, PCE, vinyl chloride, and benzene in the base's groundwater with contamination levels far exceeding safe limits.
00:23:00.000Despite clear evidence of harm, federal officials within our federal government concealed this issue, delaying action until 1987 and leaving all of these victims without recourse for many years.
00:23:15.000The Camp Lejeune compensation crisis stands as one of the most egregious examples of government failure to address toxic exposure and to deliver justice to military families.
00:23:27.000The Camp Lejeune Justice Act, otherwise known as the CLGA, of 2022, promised a path forward to justice.
00:23:35.000But bureaucratic delays, aggressive litigation, and restrictive settlement criteria have left hundreds of thousands of claimants waiting, with many of these people dying before receiving any compensation from the government.
00:23:49.000The Trump administration, with Navy Secretary John Phelan and defense leadership under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now has a critical opportunity to deliver justice to the veterans and the families who were harmed by the Camp Lejeune water contamination crisis.
00:24:06.000Joining me tonight to discuss this Camp Lejeune compensation crisis and the extreme sorrow and pain caused by this water contamination on the Camp Lejeune Marine base and the way that so many of these families are still reeling and being denied compensation is Cheryl, who is a widow of Darrell, who was a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune for several years.
00:24:32.000Cheryl, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
00:24:40.000I wanted to invite you on because while the Camp Lejeune Justice Act passed in 2022, there's now a renewed focus on the stories of many of these victims, including victims like yourself.
00:24:54.000Obviously, you yourself were not poisoned, but you are the widow of somebody who was and unfortunately passed away from cancer.
00:25:04.000And now you were left to raise a son by yourself.
00:25:10.000And your story is a story that is shared by over a million other Americans in our country who have gone through something similar or are currently going through something similar as they now try to get compensation from the federal government.
00:25:26.000And there's now renewed focus that is being placed on this because members of Congress are talking about another form of legislation to address the compensation.
00:25:37.000And there's also a lot of lawsuits involving claimants like yourself who are fighting for justice and fighting for compensation.
00:25:45.000And so I wanted to give you an opportunity to come on my program and talk about this because we saw the CJLA CLJ, excuse me, was passed underneath the Biden administration.
00:25:59.000And despite promises made to these families and victims, there's been very few settlements actually processed and delivered by the federal government.
00:26:11.000And so I wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about how long you've been fighting for justice for your family, you know, in honor of your husband and his legacy and what you think the Trump administration can be doing to help families like yours.
00:26:29.000Okay, I started looking at this in 2022 and I sent in everything that was requested of me, medical records and everything that was asked.
00:26:54.000But I just want to say that Darrell that was in the Marines and he was there at the Camp Lejeune.
00:27:05.000He was actually in the Marines for almost 15 years as a reserve.
00:27:09.000Then he was at Camp Lejeune for two years and then he was in the reserves for 89.
00:27:16.000He didn't know at the time when he was at Camp Lejeune about the water being poisoned, heavily contaminated with chemicals known to cause all sorts of cancer.
00:27:33.000Darrell was very proud to be in the Marines.
00:27:38.000He was very honored to wear the uniform.
00:27:43.000It was about 30 years after he left Camp Lejeune that he would find out that the water he had been drinking, bathing in, washed in was toxic.
00:28:00.000He started getting kind of these pamphlets from the veterans in the mail.
00:28:08.000I think they were dated like 2012, 2013, talking about, yes, the water was contaminated.
00:28:16.000They knew the water was contaminated, but during the time that he was at Camp Lejeune from 19, I'm sorry, 1978 to 1980, he did not know.
00:28:32.000I really think that, unfortunately, I think the government knew about the water contamination, but chose to do nothing.
00:28:44.000He eventually and about 30 years later, 2010, Darrell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:28:57.000He, I mean, it was just devastating to find out about the cancer and, you know, being caused by the poison and stuff in the water.
00:29:09.000That he had just honorably served in the Marines and had no idea that this was going on.
00:29:16.000And I think the government knew, but chose to do nothing.
00:29:20.000But at the time he was diagnosed, it was really hard because our son, Connor, was only eight years old.
00:29:29.000Eventually, he went down from there after being diagnosed.
00:29:36.000First, liver, and then in 2019 was lung cancer.
00:29:49.000But it was really hard because he went down really, really fast.
00:29:55.000Ashley Daryl passed away on Christmas Eve of 2019 To watch a man who through the years was a really strong man, a very loving, supporting father, husband.
00:30:16.000And Connor and I to watch him just go down so fast.
00:30:27.000Connor was a senior in high school and before right before Daryl passed away, Connor was going to graduate in 2020 of May of I'm sorry, May of 2020.
00:30:43.000And Daryl had a watch that he had bought in the commissary years ago when he was in the Marine Corps.
00:31:57.000He wasn't really able to get out of bed.
00:32:01.000When he would just walk a few steps, even with oxygen, he was so out of breath.
00:32:06.000And he was just, he was always in so much pain.
00:32:11.000And so anyway, right before he passed away, he wrote a letter to our son and explaining to him about the watch and how proud he was of Connor.
00:32:27.000And it was just a real, oh my gosh, the letter was so, I mean, it just makes you cry just to read it.
00:32:36.000But he gave Connor the letter and he gave Connor the watch.
00:32:41.000I mean, it just, it really puts a personal touch on things because, I mean, I remember for years growing up, I'm young, I'm 32, and I see commercials on TV all the time.
00:32:54.000Oh, if you were, you know, a victim of contaminated water, you or a loved one were a victim and you know contracted non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, contact this line.
00:33:08.000And there's over a million people that we know of at least who have been exposed to these contaminated, well, these contaminants, these toxic cancer-causing contaminants in the water.
00:33:22.000And it makes you wonder how many other people haven't come forward, right?
00:33:26.000Because that's just how many people we know of.
00:33:28.000There's about a million people that we know of, civilians, family members of Marines, Marines themselves, staff on the base.
00:33:37.000And it really just makes you wonder how many other people ended up dying before they were even notified about this, right?
00:33:52.000And so how many people died, you know, five years after the fact, 10 years after the fact, right?
00:33:58.000It takes time for some of these cancers to develop, but some of them, maybe they, maybe they developed other types of health conditions.
00:34:06.000And we may never know how many people exactly have died from being exposed to this contaminated water.
00:34:14.000And sadly, now your son has to go throughout life.
00:34:18.000How old was your son when his father passed away?
00:34:22.000When Connor, Daryl passed away in 2019, Christmas Eve, which made Christmas really, really hard.
00:34:30.000Connor was 17 and he was a senior in high school.
00:34:36.000So he gave Connor the watch and everything.
00:34:39.000And he, you know, Connor went on to graduate high school.
00:34:45.000You know, he saved a seat for his dad at the graduation.
00:34:50.000We took his dad's photo to the graduation.
00:34:55.000And Connor will be graduating from the same university that Daryl attended.
00:35:02.000And in May of 2026, again, we will be saving his dad a seat because we know that even though he will not be there, he will actually be watching down over Connor.
00:35:32.000Daryl was extremely, extremely proud of Connor.
00:35:37.000It's just been really hard because Daryl, when he started getting really bad, I can remember the last, I sent a picture of the last Christmas of 2018 that we spent when Daryl passed away on Christmas Eve of 2024.
00:35:59.000I had told Daryl that morning that I would fix Christmas dinner.
00:36:05.000And he told me he was just, this was the kind of person Daryl was.
00:36:59.000He couldn't, it was hard for him just to drink water.
00:37:04.000And he just like, you know, I just want you to stay in here with me and not, you know, taking all that time in the kitchen and stuff like that.
00:37:17.000But it was just so hard to watch a man go down as quick as he did.
00:37:27.000Daryl just basically went down to Just really, really skinny.
00:37:32.000And at the time he passed away, I stayed in there with him.
00:37:42.000And even though he had told me that he knew, you know, he was always in pain, always in so much pain and suffering and going through chemo and radiation.
00:37:58.000But he told me, he said, you know, in spite of everything that I'm going through, that he would not change anything.
00:38:10.000He would still want to go back and serve and wear the uniform that he was so proudly wearing in the Marine Corps.
00:38:19.000And I know that, you know, I know nothing is going to bring, you know, Daryl back, but we have a lot of good memories of Daryl.
00:38:33.000He was an amazing husband, amazing father.
00:38:36.000But I guess what one of the things that really, I guess you could say, bothers me is that the government needs to be held responsible for these Marines, these men, these women that are in the military.
00:39:00.000We were talking, you know, these were human beings that were there for their country.
00:39:07.000And I think that the government knew about the poison, the contaminated water, and at the time they just chose to ignore it.
00:39:23.000They chose to just let these people eventually die from this poison, whether it be from cancer or whatever the other illnesses were.
00:39:36.000I feel like the government needs to accept responsibility.
00:39:41.000I don't think I've ever, the government just needs to say, hey, we were wrong on how we handled the situation with the water contamination.
00:39:56.000I think that they still need to stand behind the choices they made and make it right because so many families, as you said, have already passed away that were a part of the Camp Lejeune thing.
00:40:15.000And I just feel like that the way the government has handled it is kind of like, you know, again, these were human beings that were there fighting or there for their country.
00:40:28.000And then the government just kind of like ignores it.
00:40:32.000And like I said, I know nothing will bring Daryl back.
00:40:40.000We still think of all of our time with him.
00:40:45.000Connor thinks about all the times that, you know, his dad didn't get to see him, graduate high school, didn't get to see him, start his first day in college.
00:40:55.000And it's just, it's hard for a boy to lose his dad and, you know, move forward in life and so on and so forth without his dad.
00:41:10.000But I guess to say this didn't have to happen.
00:41:50.000Their families are fighting for justice.
00:41:52.000And it's kind of interesting how despite the Camp Lejeune Justice Act that was passed in 2022, there's been very few settlements actually paid out to the victims and their families.
00:42:05.000And so what has that process been like for you, this legal battle, as a widow of a Marine who ultimately gave his life for our country with the cancer that he ended up contracting on this Marine base?
00:42:24.000Can you tell the viewers what this process has been like and why you believe you haven't received compensation yet or why you believe that so many of the other victims still haven't received compensation?
00:42:38.000Like I said, I started working on this in March of 2022.
00:42:46.000And I know before all this, like I said, Daryl would get these pamphlets or things in the mail.
00:42:53.000Daryl, I don't think he even knew about it for years about all this.
00:42:58.000And they talked about it on these pamphlets.
00:43:00.000It's kind of like, okay, they know about it.
00:43:03.000This was 2012, 2000, and then another one, 2013.
00:43:07.000Then why has it taken so long for them to finally admit that they were wrong?
00:43:15.000And the families, you know, are losing loved ones and they're not wanting to take responsibility for it.
00:43:24.000So I still, like I've told Connor, you know, I still, you know, I still feel like maybe one day the government will take responsibility and do something for the victims and their families.
00:43:43.000However, like you said, a lot of the victims have already passed away.
00:43:47.000And, you know, Daryl passed away almost six years ago.
00:43:52.000And nothing, I mean, I haven't, you know, I haven't received anything from the government at all saying, hey, we are sorry for what happened.
00:44:05.000And we're, you know, we are working on trying to help the victims and their families.
00:44:21.000You know, I keep trying to do what I can because Daryl put on that uniform.
00:44:29.000He was very proud to wear that uniform.
00:44:32.000And like he said, in spite of everything, he would have gone, he would have done it all over again.
00:44:37.000So I feel like that, you know, Daryl isn't here to speak, you know, for himself in what he went through.
00:44:47.000So as long as I live, I would like to just continue to, you know, to not forget about it because I'm sure the government's hoping that if they go on long enough that people will just forget about it and they won't have to do anything at all.
00:45:09.000But my son and I, we just, you know, we just look at videos that we had of Daryl.
00:45:21.000And it's just, you know, it's really hard to still live in the house that is so much of our home is still Daryl.
00:45:32.000His stuff, you know, is still just like he left it.
00:45:37.000But I want to make sure that what he went through and the other families, what they suffered through, is not just, you know, just swept under the carpet rug and ignored because the government needs to step up and do the right thing for the people.
00:45:59.000And as long as I'm able, then I want to, you know, I want to represent Daryl and that he didn't, he didn't pass away.
00:46:39.000He was just an amazing dad, amazing husband.
00:46:43.000And I just don't want the government to just ignore these people and what they did and just say, oh, sorry, which, you know, probably won't, but say sorry and move on because they just choose not to do anything.
00:47:04.000But I'm going to always be here to try to do what I can because Daryl did what he could in spite of everything for, you know, for his country and something he was so proud to do.
00:47:17.000What do you think would be fair compensation from the government to victims like yourself and families like yours?
00:47:25.000I mean, what are you, what type of, aside from an apology, obviously, what is it that you think that the Trump administration could do?
00:47:32.000Because obviously President Trump is very pro-veteran and he's a big supporter of our veterans.
00:47:39.000I'd say that the Trump administration is probably more favorable towards veterans and veterans issues and support for military families compared to the Biden administration.
00:47:52.000Just, you know, that's my personal opinion.
00:47:54.000And so I'm hoping that, you know, with the lack of action on this matter that we saw under the Biden administration when this was first passed in 2022, perhaps with a new defense secretary and a new Navy Secretary and a new president, we could possibly see some action on this.
00:48:12.000What would you like the Trump administration to do aside from issuing a government response or apology from the Department of Defense apologizing to families like yourself?
00:48:29.000As far as compensation goes, I know, you know, there's no monetary compensation that's going to, you know, put our lives, our family back like it was.
00:48:46.000But I just think that something needs to be done to help families, compensate the families, to let the government know that you can't do this and just ignore it and let it go on and say, well, oh, well, you know, because they need to be held responsible.
00:49:13.000They need to know that you have to be accountable for the choices they made.
00:49:20.000And I think that if there's any type of compensation, whatever it may be, that it's got to show the, it would show the government, hey, we can't keep doing this.
00:49:32.000These are lives that we, you know, are ignoring.
00:49:38.000And I just, you know, I really don't have a no compensation, like I said, is going to bring Daryl back and put our lives back together.
00:49:50.000But I just think that because Daryl and the other family, the other Marines were there for our country and the families should be compensated in some way so that the government doesn't get away with it and, you know, can't just play with lives and then ignore it and move on because they choose they don't want to do anything for the mistakes that they made.
00:50:54.000He always told Connor how proud he was.
00:50:58.000Anytime Connor always knew anytime he had anything that he wanted to talk to his dad about, that his dad was there for him and he listened to him.
00:51:09.000And just like myself, anytime I wasn't sure about how to handle something or what to do, I always knew that I could come to Daryl and he would talk to me about it.
00:52:52.000We were married in 2000 and he was just always knew anything.
00:52:58.000He was my rock, my supporters, the same as for Connor.
00:53:04.000And he was just a really, really good man who, like you said, he didn't have to go.
00:53:12.000He didn't have to, he didn't have to die because of this.
00:53:18.000So I guess that's pretty much, you know, how, you know, we lived with him.
00:53:26.000And I just hope that one day the government has is held to be responsible that they can't do this for human lives and just ignore it like they have done on this issue.
00:53:41.000And it's very sad listening to you talk about what has happened to your family.
00:53:47.000And it's even more sad knowing that there's over a million families just like yours in this country who are going through the same type of pain and heartbreak and hardship right now.
00:54:00.000And some of them haven't lost their loved one yet, but they know that that day is coming soon because of these, in many cases, uncurable illnesses that their loved ones have developed as a result of this contaminated water.
00:54:14.000So it's very heartbreaking listening to you tell your story.
00:54:21.000And I think that the government does need to.
00:54:23.000It's part of restoring trust with the American people.
00:54:26.000And also, they constantly talk too about how recruitment numbers are down and they have a really hard time recruiting people to join the Army or join the Navy these days.
00:54:38.000But when you look at the way that the federal government has treated members of the Army, members of the Navy, whether it be not informing them in a timely manner about the water contamination at Camp Lejeune or forcing them to take the COVID vaccine or discharging them after some of them developed myocarditis and other types of conditions as a result of taking the COVID vaccine,
00:55:02.000there really isn't a lot of trust within the federal government as it relates to just any issue, right?
00:55:09.000I think that trust in the federal government is probably at an all-time low.
00:55:14.000So you see that we have daily conversations about the assassin, look at the assassination of JFK, right?
00:55:22.000The Epstein files or the COVID vaccine or censorship or the 2020 election, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
00:55:30.000I mean, there's so many examples of things that have happened in our country just over the last eight years, let alone, you know, the last hundred years of our country that have been covered up or we have not, you know, been given full transparency or full disclosure from the government about these matters, a lot of which has resulted in a lot of death and destruction.
00:55:55.000I mean, look at 9-11, for example, right?
00:55:57.000We still don't have all the information in the 9-11, 9-11 commission report.
00:56:02.000So there are so many examples of government distrust.
00:56:06.000And I think that if the government does not issue a strong apology to families like yours, and they do not compensate the victims of Camp Lejeune and the families of those who have since passed away from cancers and other types of illnesses that they contracted from this contaminated water, it's going to not just continue to increase the level of public distrust within the government.
00:56:31.000But why would anybody want to serve their country?
00:56:33.000Why would anybody want to serve their country if their government is going to discard them and treat them like a form of property?
00:56:42.000Instead of an irreplaceable human life that is valuable and unique and should be cared for and treated with respect and regard, they're treating our armed service members and those who choose to enlist or those who choose to serve their government in any capacity, whether it be by joining or being a member of the staff on these bases.
00:57:07.000If people feel like they're disposable and that the government treats them like they are just replaceable commodities, nobody's going to want to sign up to serve.
00:57:17.000And so I think that there's many reasons why the government needs to come out and address this.
00:57:23.000And I think it's a perfect opportunity for the Trump administration to further express their commitment to our veterans and our armed service members.
00:57:34.000And also, President Trump constantly talks about how his administration is the most transparent administration in U.S. history and also the most justice-oriented administration.
00:57:46.000This is a perfect way, I think, that people from all political backgrounds of all affiliations can get behind and say it's time for the victims and the family members of the Camp Lejeune victims to be properly compensated and apologized to.
00:58:04.000I feel like a lot of people don't want to go into the military because they feel like they do not have the backing or the support of the government.
00:58:16.000Especially now over these last few years.
00:58:18.000I mean, I know a lot of people who lost their benefits and they were forced out almost like an early retirement because they didn't want to take the COVID vaccine, for example.
00:58:29.000And now we know that the, just like the water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated and people died from it.
00:58:35.000Well, now we're being told that all of these insubordinate members of the military who were discharged and told that they were not non-compliant and they were stripped of their benefits are now developing all types of health conditions.
00:58:49.000Some of them have developed turbo cancers or heart conditions themselves.
00:58:55.000And now, you know, Secretary of Defense Pete Hexteth said that they'll be entitled to back pay.
00:59:01.000Well, if people who were discharged over from the military for not taking the COVID vaccine are entitled to get their jobs back and also entitled to back pay.
00:59:12.000And also people are now entitled to compensation if they were forced to take the vaccine and they ended up developing a health condition while they were in the military.
00:59:23.000Then why shouldn't the victims of Camp Lejeune also be compensated?
00:59:27.000I mean, it happened many, many years ago, right?
00:59:29.000We're talking about something that happened over, you know, 30 years ago.
00:59:35.000But and it's a continued process because there's people who are on the base who are continuing to develop illnesses and people who have lived with these illnesses, but also people who are also still getting diagnosed to this day.
00:59:50.000Just because something happened a long time ago doesn't mean that we shouldn't still demand accountability.
00:59:54.000And a perfect example of this is the declassification of the JFK assassination files and the NLK assassination files and the Epstein files.
01:00:06.000There's this idea that has kind of gone mainstream, unfortunately, within the federal government that if something happened a long time ago, we should just stop talking about it and move on from it.
01:00:17.000But people are still suffering from this.
01:00:19.000And I think it's important, and it was important to have you on the show tonight to let people know that there are still millions of Americans who are dealing with the consequences of something that happened over 30 years ago.
01:00:31.000And people are dying, and people are sick.
01:00:33.000And a lot of family members have been completely screwed over.
01:00:37.000And, you know, these are military families.
01:00:39.000A lot of military families have a legacy in their family of continued service.
01:00:43.000And so, why would somebody like your son or somebody else who watched their father, their brother, their loved one develop cancer and die, have any type of aspirations or even an inspiration to join the military and continue in their family's footsteps?
01:00:59.000So it's going to create a recruitment, a recruitment crisis, in my opinion, and also a morale crisis and also just a distrust problem in general, a continued distrust problem because, like, I said, people already don't trust the federal government.
01:01:23.000I think even though this was many years ago, there are still people that it's still affecting today.
01:01:32.000And like you said, I don't think the government should like, okay, that was 30 years ago.
01:01:38.000So let's move on past it because you never get, you never live on past losing someone that was serving their country and then died because of something the government chose not to not to deal with.
01:01:55.000This is this was something that, you know, it's been 70 years after the poisoning first began.
01:02:00.000And that's why I'm saying now, like over the last 30 years is when a lot of these people have developed the cancers.
01:02:06.000And so it's become a lot more commonplace and more well-known over the last 30 years, which is why I say 30 years as a reference point.
01:02:15.000But this poisoning initially began over 70 years ago, right?
01:02:20.000So this has been ongoing for 70 years.
01:02:23.000And obviously, if something happened 70 years ago, how many people died over the last 70 years before these last 30 years when people really started to realize, okay, there's a commonality here.
01:03:31.000And he was the only one that was in the military.
01:03:33.000So it just kind of makes people now feel like, you know, if we don't, you know, if it's not safe, we can't, we don't have the government backing us, taking, making sure that we're taken care of.
01:03:46.000It's kind of like, well, if the government doesn't care what happens to the people, the victims.
01:03:52.000Well, especially since, you know, until 2022, the government has filed, I've filed several lawsuits trying to fight the victims and fight back against victims suing and trying to say that certain illnesses weren't covered, right?
01:04:08.000And that's what was so great about the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is that it opened up more qualifiers, right, for these victims because the federal government was actually trying to push back and create a very restrictive list of illnesses or cancers that qualified for compensation.
01:04:25.000But now, but now there are lawyers and victim advocates that have pushed for the government to recognize more illnesses and more types of diseases and cancers, aside from a select few, because not everybody's symptoms or illnesses are going to present the same way.
01:04:45.000And now with more scientific studies and more analysis of victim deaths, they're starting to realize that there's a lot of illnesses that were contracted, a lot of types of health ailments, cancers, pulmonary issues, cardiac issues, all types of disorders that were contracted by individuals who were exposed to this water contamination, birth defects.
01:05:10.000A lot of people, a lot of women who were exposed to the water gave birth to stillborns.
01:05:16.000So they call it, they call it baby heaven because so many people's babies were born dead stillbirth because of the water contamination.
01:05:29.000I mean, it's just, like I said, it should have never happened.
01:05:34.000And the government does need to take responsibility and stop, you know, coming up with reasons and excuses not to do anything.
01:05:44.000Because again, these were human beings that chose to, you know, be there for their country and they should not have, you know, have had to go through this.
01:05:56.000And then all of a sudden, you know, they contract something from the water issue and then they, you know, they pass away doing what they wanted.
01:06:51.000But I just want to do, you know, what I can do because, you know, he's not here to represent himself and what, you know, what he went through.
01:09:18.000It's just, like I said, something that should not have happened, but you can't go back and change it.
01:09:23.000You just move forward and remember the loved ones and the happy times, the times they made you laugh and the things that they would say and do.
01:09:32.000And you just cherish those moments, you know.
01:09:36.000Otherwise, you just, you have a hard time, you know, focusing each day because the grief is just so hard that there is no timeframe, you know, for grief.
01:09:49.000I still, it's been almost six years, I still wear my wedding ring because I feel like I'm just not ready to take my wedding ring off.
01:10:25.000And it must be very difficult to have to relive this too throughout this litigation and throughout this legal process.
01:10:34.000I imagine that it makes it probably very hard to not move on because you probably, you know, never really move on from something like this.
01:10:44.000You never move on from losing your loved one, losing your husband.
01:10:49.000But you're certainly really not able to grieve or complete the process of grief and psychologically heal when you have to constantly relive this and wonder if you're ever going to truly get justice.
01:11:05.000So I can't even imagine what you're going through.
01:11:08.000And I'm very sorry that you and so many others are having to deal with this.
01:11:14.000Well, I appreciate everything that you're doing to try to help us because we just need, they just need to know our stories.
01:11:24.000They need to know out there, you know, that they may not have been their family member, but they were someone's family member.
01:11:34.000They were someone's father, someone's son, someone's husband, someone like Daryl, best friend, you know, the rock.
01:11:44.000So I don't know why they would just choose to let it go and not care.
01:11:51.000It's the way I sometimes think they just don't, they don't care.
01:11:55.000They just want to ignore it and hope it'll go away.
01:11:59.000And that's what it makes it really hard when they do that.
01:12:06.000But they can never take away our memories.
01:12:09.000So no matter what happens with all this, they can't take away our memories and our pictures and our thoughts and our love for our family.
01:12:33.000Well, Cheryl, I really want to thank you for coming on my program and telling your story.
01:12:39.000And we're going to be watching this closely, especially now that Congress has expressed a renewed interest in the victims of Camp Lejeune and definitely following it closely.
01:12:52.000And now that we're in a new administration, I'm hopeful that Secretary of Defense Pete Hagseth and the Navy Secretary John Phelan and President Trump and our Vice President J.D. Vance, who's a Marine himself, will somehow be able to work together to hopefully provide some closure to the victims and their family members like yourself and your son Connor.
01:13:17.000Well, I appreciate you taking the time to do this for us to listen to our story because it's just, you know, it's hard, but at least we know there's somebody out there that's that's listening to us and our stories and paying attention.
01:13:36.000Yeah, I think a lot of people are going to listen.
01:13:38.000I think that there really hasn't been, I mean, this is a huge scandal.
01:13:42.000I can't believe that this doesn't have more media attention or more coverage on it, given the fact that there's barely been any settlement since the Camp Le Jeune Justice Act passed.
01:13:54.000And there's hundreds of thousands of people like yourself who have filed claims and they're trying to get justice.
01:13:59.000And so clearly there hasn't been enough attention or focus or much of a priority placed on these veterans and their family members and the victims and getting some type of closure and justice for their family.
01:14:15.000And I hope that this will get the attention of administration officials so that we can hopefully provide closure and justice for families like yours.
01:14:26.000So I think that your story is going to go a long way in educating a lot of people who may not have been aware of what's going on and the fact that millions of Americans right now are and their families are engaged in a legal battle with the federal government to try to get compensation for simply showing up and doing their job and basically dying as a result.
01:15:26.000A lot of Americans stand with you and we're rooting for you.
01:15:30.000And I'm certainly rooting for you and your son and the other families just like yours and the victims who are who some of them are still alive today, those who are fighting for their lives, dealing with these terrible illnesses that they've contracted and the future victims who maybe they aren't aware yet, but they're going to go to their physical or they're going to start to feel sick and they're going to get diagnosed with cancer or some kind of a disorder and they're going to realize that they too were poisoned.
01:15:57.000So we're going to we're going to pray for those people.
01:16:00.000We're going to pray for you and hope for the best.
01:16:02.000And certainly if you're watching this program and you are outraged by this, contact your congressperson and contact the Trump administration and try to try to put pressure on the Defense Department and the Navy Secretary and the Trump administration to come to a resolution to force the hand of the federal government and the DOJ to provide adequate compensation to families like Cheryl's so that Daryl's legacy and
01:16:33.000the legacy of many other Marines like Daryl isn't in vain.
01:16:49.000Just so much corruption in our country.
01:16:51.000There's so much injustice and so much cover-up.
01:16:56.000It's incredible to think that this happened nearly 70 years ago and so many Americans are still suffering and so many Americans are still struggling.
01:17:05.000I saw a report in the New York, the New York Post, actually.
01:17:31.000I mean, every day there's stories like this.
01:17:33.000And one of them caught my eye a couple of weeks ago when I saw it come out and started looking into this a lot more.
01:17:40.000And I mean, it's just terrible, terrible, terrible stories, right?
01:17:44.000The retired Marine Reservist from Harlan survived stage three esophagal cancer, but now faces a growing tumor next to his pancreas caused by what he believes the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
01:17:56.000As many as a million military members and their families and civilian staffers are believed to have been exposed to contaminated water for decades.
01:18:03.000I mean, there's so many stories like this.
01:18:20.000Just like they're calling for the release of the Epstein files and the JFK files and the MLK files.
01:18:27.000There should be outrage over the fact that still today, over a million Americans still haven't been compensated for cancers and terminal illnesses that they contracted at the hands of the federal government, not being honest and not taking action, right, to admit to their wrongdoing and to apologize and to properly compensate these families.
01:18:55.000So I think that this is very disturbing.
01:18:58.000And I would really like to see the Trump administration address this issue because clearly Joe Biden didn't think of it as a priority under his administration.
01:19:07.000We saw that the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was passed in 2022.
01:19:12.000I don't remember seeing any coverage about the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
01:19:15.000Honestly, I don't remember seeing anything done by the Democrats or Joe Biden's administration to force the hand of the federal government to make sure that these veterans are compensated.
01:19:27.000He did so much to advocate for health care for illegal aliens, right?
01:19:32.000So many benefits for illegal aliens, opened up the border, allowed for over 25 million people to come into our country.
01:19:43.000I was told that to compensate all of the Camp Lejeune, the Camp Lejeune victims and their families, it would probably cost the government between $30 to $40 billion.
01:19:59.000So we're going to send money to Ukraine so that the Ukrainians can fund their war with Russia, but we're not going to compensate our own Marines and the staffers on Camp Lejeune base and the family members of these Marines who were infected with cancers and contracted terminal illnesses and diseases.
01:20:23.000And I think that it shows that the federal government cares more about foreign interests than they do about American citizens.
01:20:30.000The fact that this could all be resolved with a $40 billion payout, a compensation package to these veterans and affected individuals and families, many of whom have already lost their loved ones, just like Cheryl told us tonight.
01:20:48.000The next time they tell you they need to send 40, 50, 60, who knows, $100 billion overseas or they want to spend over $100 billion on health care for illegal aliens, you ask them where the health care is for all of these veterans, these Camp Lejeune victims who are now dropping dead like flies after contracting cancer and all types of diseases from contaminated water on the Marine base that the federal government covered up for the last 70 years.
01:22:16.000Because I called Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
01:22:18.000And 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.

01:23:41.000Well, the vetting crisis has certainly caused a firestorm.
01:23:47.000If you are a viewer of Loomer Unleashed or you've been watching my show for the last several years, then you know that I have made it a priority of mine to report on what I call the growing vetting crisis within the Trump administration.
01:24:02.000I mean, we are now nearly eight months into the administration, and we're still having issues with personnel.
01:24:25.000So the media is up in arms because just like dozens of people were fired in the aftermath of my Oval Office meeting with President Trump last April when I briefed the president on issues pertaining to the NSA and the NSC and bad actors, Biden and Obama holdovers, Trump haters who have been infiltrating our intelligence agencies at the highest level.
01:24:50.000It resulted in mass firings and the media lost their mind and they were just completely outraged.
01:24:56.000They love to say things like, oh, how does Laura Loomer, who doesn't have a job in the Trump administration, have so much influence?
01:25:02.000How does Laura Loomer, who doesn't have a security clearance, how is she qualified to be, you know, telling the president who should and shouldn't be positioned within the administration in these intel positions?
01:25:13.000Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that if you are loyal to Barack Hussein Obama and you are loyal to Joe Biden and you believe that the 2016 election was stolen by Russia and you believe that Donald Trump was unfit, right, to be the president of the United States and that he was a threat to national security.
01:25:37.000If you watched the previous episode of Loomer Unleashed and you saw it went through this 2019 letter that many of the same individuals, the 51 spies who lied, remember those people who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation?
01:25:51.000We're going to get into that Hunter Biden laptop tonight when I explain to you my recent expose on Tucker Carlson or Tucker Katarlson, as I like to call him.
01:26:01.000But so many of these individuals, even though we all know who they are and we know that their actions were treasonous and we know that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't Russian disinformation.
01:26:14.000It was actually included as evidence in Hunter Biden's own trial.
01:26:17.000I mean, everything that we were told was a conspiracy theory has now been proven to be a conspiracy fact.
01:26:24.000And so they're just upset and they're reeling and they're having a hard time coping with the fact that there is somebody who operates on the outside of the administration as an independent apparatus, right?
01:26:40.000A vetting machine, a vetting apparatus in support of the president, because DC is a very transactional place.
01:26:48.000People are only willing to do things if you're willing to do something for them.
01:26:52.000And because I don't have an official title or an official role within the Trump administration, the media is losing their mind.
01:26:59.000They're absolutely outraged over the fact that I have, well, been able to advise the president in an unofficial capacity on issues pertaining to vetting of personnel.
01:27:15.000MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhl melting down over the hotline I created because if you aren't aware of this and you probably should be aware, if you're a viewer of Loomer Unleashed, then you know that I created a tip line.
01:27:46.000You can insert your name, tell me what you know, Loomered, right?
01:27:50.000You insert your name, your email, the subject, your message, and then you scroll down and you click send.
01:27:57.000And so many people within the administration are sending me tips about their colleagues or people that they know of who have somehow infiltrated the administration.
01:28:07.000And am I somehow a villain because I am using open source intelligence methods to vet bad actors who have burrowed themselves within the Trump administration, infiltrated the Trump administration?
01:28:27.000Am I unqualified because I'm using my skills as an investigative journalist to identify people who have badmouthed the president or who have undermined the president or who have worked against the president or people who have worked with people who have undermined the president?
01:28:44.000I mean, how does that make me a bad person?
01:28:46.000I'm actually expressing loyalty to the commander in chief, which is the oath that these people take with it within the federal government.
01:28:53.000When you are working for the president of the United States, you're supposed to take that oath of loyalty to the commander-in-chief.
01:29:00.000So it's a really interesting dynamic where the media used to be a watchdog of the federal government.
01:29:06.000And now all they're trying to do is undermine President Trump, right?
01:29:10.000They're not even trying to praise him for his many accomplishments.
01:29:14.000They were supposed to be a watchdog of the federal government, but now they're complicit in trying to support and prop up all of these bad actors who are undermining the federal government, undermining President Trump.
01:29:27.000And so you've really seen a distortion of the mainstream media over the last 80 years within our country.
01:29:36.000And they're not serving as a watchdog anymore.
01:29:40.000They're not looking out for anybody but their own interests.
01:29:43.000The only people they're serving as a watchdog for are these corrupt interests, these deep state actors who have weaponized our intelligence agencies to undermine President Trump.
01:29:53.000And now we literally have an Obama-era John Brennan CIA pipeline Through the Pentagon that is infiltrating the hiring process, trying to sneak their operatives, their deep state operatives, past PPO, past Sergio Gore over at PPO.
01:30:11.000And the question is, why am I being demonized with non-stop prime-time news coverage just this weekend when President Trump was leaving, leaving his golf club to travel back to Washington, D.C., the media is harassing him on the tarmac.
01:30:30.000Oh, what is Laura Loomer's relationship to your administration, sir?
01:30:33.000What is Laura Loomer's relationship to your administration?
01:31:00.000There's nothing else to talk about aside from Laura Loomer.
01:31:03.000And it just bothers them so much, right?
01:31:06.000These people love viewing themselves as gatekeepers.
01:31:09.000And, you know, I really am one of the most canceled people living in this country when you think about it, right?
01:31:16.000I'm still banned on every single social media platform aside from X. I was banned on X until Elon Musk purchased the company and reinstated my account.
01:31:25.000But it bothers them so much that literally the most banned woman in the world, okay, I'm banned on all types of apps, all types of payment processors.
01:31:36.000My ability to distribute content as a journalist has been stunted because, you know, I had my YouTube channel shut down and my YouTube channel demonetized.
01:31:50.000I'm banned on so many different sites that other journalists are able to use to distribute their content and monetize their content.
01:31:59.000And the media thought that they, in conjunction with big tech, were just going to be able to defame me for years and lie about me and call me anti-Muslim and call me a white supremacist and call me so many terrible things.
01:32:26.000I found a way to distribute my content about these bad actors that gets more views than some of their content does.
01:32:32.000As an independent journalist who's still blacklisted everywhere, I had the genius idea of creating the loomered tip line, the lumered tip line, which is now a more effective vetting machine than the PPO office out of the White House in many ways.
01:32:51.000Those are the words of the mainstream media.
01:32:54.000And look, I get along with Sergio Gore just fine.
01:32:57.000But I have always said, and I've said this to Sergio, and I've said this to Trent Morris and other people who work in PPO.
01:33:03.000I think that the vetting department, the office of PPO, needs to be a larger government entity.
01:33:13.000I think that it should be its own government agency because the amount of bad actors who have been able to sneak through the federal government and within the Trump administration is mind-boggling, especially given the ties that many of these bad actors have to people like James Clapper and John Brennan and James Comey, Barack Obama.
01:33:32.000I mean, all of these people who participated in the Russia collusion hoax and spying on President Trump, undermining President Trump, trying to indict President Trump, raiding his home at Mar-a-Lago, trying to kill him, then trying to cover up the assassination attempt of President Trump.
01:33:54.000And if you think that the federal government doesn't know anything about Thomas Crooks, the individual who tried to assassinate President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, you are out of your mind.
01:34:23.000And now they won't even tell us who tried to assassinate him and how, if anything, this guy was able to almost assassinate Donald Trump, tragically killing firefighter Corey Comperatory.
01:34:38.000Because it's the Intel agencies that run our country.
01:34:41.000It's the Intel agencies that tried to murder President Trump.
01:34:44.000It's the Intel agencies that stole our election.
01:34:48.000It's the Intel agencies that ran cover for the invasion of our country, the replacement of the American people by criminal, illegal alien invaders.
01:34:56.000And so, of course, these people are going to lose their mind when a civilian without a security clearance is able to pinpoint them and their networks, their very secretive networks within the federal government, within the deep state agencies, and expose them and then get them fired by the president of the United States.
01:35:16.000There has never been a civilian that has had this much influence as it relates to the hiring and the firing that takes place within our intel agencies.
01:35:29.000I'm not trying to say, oh, yeah, I'm basically controlling the hiring and the firing process within the Trump administration, but the media can't stop talking about it because they keep on saying it's so unprecedented.
01:35:40.000And every single day, my phone blows up with phone calls from these members of the media saying, oh, well, we just want to know how you're doing it because we've never seen anything like it before.
01:35:50.000Yeah, because I designed the blueprint.
01:36:13.000You have the president of the United States at Mar-a-Lago telling people you don't want to get loomered because it's the end of your career.
01:36:19.000And every single mainstream media reporter talking about Intel agencies getting loomered.
01:36:25.000And I am proud to have created the blueprint.
01:36:28.000And I'm proud that I have established such a creative way to bypass gatekeeping and to bypass faulty vetting processes that are happening within the federal government.
01:36:39.000And so I think it's something to be celebrated.
01:36:46.000And hopefully I inspire other people to start investigating federal employees and conducting their own investigations and their own vetting operations.
01:36:54.000And every day I see independent journalists pinpointing people who they think are bad actors in the federal government.
01:37:01.000And their stories are going viral because they're taking my approach and my method of, you know, finding the receipts and making a very long and well-researched post.
01:37:11.000Even the liberal media now is forced to admit that my posts are well-researched.
01:37:16.000So again, let's go ahead and play this clip of President Trump getting asked yesterday as he was boarding Marine One, heading back to Washington, D.C. about my relationship with the White House because The mainstream media has decided to lose their mind.
01:37:33.000They can't fathom how somebody who doesn't work for the president is able to get the president's attention.
01:37:39.000It's called hard work and hard-hitting investigative journalism.
01:37:44.000What is your relationship with Laura Loomer?
01:37:46.000What kind of influence with Laura Loomer?
01:38:00.000And, you know, personally, I think she's a patriot.
01:38:03.000And she gets excited because of the fact that she's a patriot and she doesn't like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country.
01:39:00.000I mean, we could easily pull up the old New York Times report about how, oh, President Trump hired Laura Loomer, but his staff ended up killing it off.
01:39:09.000I mean, there's a ton of reports about it, right?
01:39:11.000So they just did a profile piece about me, Laura Loomer, Trump's blunt instrument.
01:39:18.000You can see here, this was from type in Hires Loomer Campaign 2023.
01:40:05.000And so they talk about how this was, you can scroll down April 7th, 2023, how the president hired me in his office.
01:40:13.000And, oh, well, by the end of the day, right, the staff said that Loomer wouldn't be hired anymore.
01:40:18.000So the president has literally hired me on four separate occasions.
01:40:22.000Okay, four separate occasions, Donald Trump has hired me.
01:40:25.000And it's hard for people to understand because then the question is, well, how do the staff have a veto power if the president himself is the one who's in control and the president himself is the one who says, well, hire Laura Loomer or, oh, I want Laura Loomer to work for me.
01:40:42.000But obviously, I have never turned on Trump.
01:40:44.000Like there's a lot of people out there who became very malicious towards President Trump and very bitter because they were either fired.
01:40:51.000I mean, I was never fired by Donald Trump or because he never offered them a job.
01:40:56.000And despite the public humiliation and the sabotage by many of his own staffers, I've remained loyal and I've always had President Trump's back and I continue to have his back.
01:41:05.000And I continue, even through the nonstop media attacks on my character and efforts by the mainstream media to demonize me, to have his back.
01:41:16.000Let's go ahead and play some of these clips.
01:41:18.000MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhl melting down over the Loomer tip line.
01:41:24.000You know, in the New York Times reporting on Loomer, they discuss how one of the ways she comes up with her conclusions is she gets tips on her website, many of them anonymous tips, where she gets information about administration officials.
01:41:44.000This is the vetting process our White House is relying on.
01:41:48.000Laura Loomer is saying, tell me what you want to tell me about these people from anyone.
01:41:54.000And she then funnels that to the president.
01:41:56.000This is how our White House is operating.
01:42:34.000Let's go ahead and play clip number eight.
01:42:36.000And Jeff, I want to ask you about something else going on behind the scenes at the White House, and that's the influence of far-right activist and conspiracy theorist and bigot Laura Loomer.
01:42:46.000She just shared a post on X or Twitter linking to an article that said Laura Loomer claims two more Trump heads in 24 hours.
01:42:54.000She added, it's called Getting Loomered, Vetting Matters.
01:43:00.000Jake, this is just the latest version of this.
01:43:02.000So we've seen Laura Loomer do this several times with members of the National Security Council as well.
01:43:07.000But the latest examples that she's talking about, one is a West Point appointment to be basically lead the social sciences department there.
01:43:18.000She worked in the Biden administration as a cybersecurity expert, also worked for a Condoleezza Rice back in the Bush administration.
01:43:26.000So someone who's a cybersecurity expert has worked across party lines, but does not meet the qualifications that Laura Loomer deems acceptable.
01:43:36.000The other person is the vaccine chief at the FDA, Vinaya Prasad, has talked favorably about Bernie Sanders online.
01:43:45.000And Laura Loomer called that out as well.
01:43:48.000Dr. Prasad has raised some serious questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.
01:43:54.000So he was seen as someone in the mold of the Trump, the Trump point of view, if you will.
01:43:59.000But Laura Loomer called out both of them, among others.
01:44:02.000So yet one more example of how the fringes of the party are having a big influence on who is shaping this government.
01:44:12.000I mean, he's such a hater, Jake Tapper.
01:44:14.000I think he's just still angry from when my team and I chased him down at the RNC convention in Milwaukee.
01:45:12.000What do you think about Joe Biden's remarks the other day that it was time for President Trump to be put in the bullseye?
01:45:19.000Do you think that Joe Biden should issue an apology for calling for President Trump to be put in a bullseye?
01:45:28.000Do you think that CNN's rhetoric and their demonization of Donald Trump over these last eight years has led to people opening fire on President Trump, almost assassinating him on stage?
01:45:42.000As one of the biggest offenders and perpetuators of fake news, that's why President Trump calls you fake tapper.
01:45:48.000Do you have any remorse for your reporting, which has led to an attempted assassination on President Trump?
01:45:59.000Will you condemn Joe Biden, Jake, calling for President Trump to be put in a bullseye?
01:46:04.000Do you condemn any of your fake reporting that has led to an attempted assassination?
01:46:10.000I mean, don't you have any remorse, Jake?
01:47:30.000Do you think that Joe Biden, who I guess is announcing his withdrawal within the next five days from the presidential race, should apologize for saying that Donald Trump deserves to be put in a bullseye?
01:47:42.000Also, what did CNN mean when they said that he fell?
01:47:46.000Does that mean that JFK fell really, really hard?
01:47:50.000Or are you guys actually going to call it what it was, an assassination attempt?
01:47:55.000At some point, Jake, you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that your rhetoric over the last eight years.
01:48:05.000That's why he calls me a conspiracy theorist, and that's why he's so derogatory towards me when he talks about me on the news and all of the success I've had with my vetting operation.
01:49:13.000The New York Times wrote a great piece about this, where they documented the number of people that Loomer, who is basically functioning as sort of a self-appointed veteran of people across a wide variety of jobs in the White House and the Trump administration, most especially in the national security space.
01:49:34.000Loomer has gotten a number of these people either disqualified or fired because of the opposition research she has done in regards to past things they might have said that were bad about Donald Trump or support for someone who's not Trumpy enough, like a Mitt Romney, for example.
01:49:54.000They just can't come to terms with it.
01:49:57.000They can't come to terms with the fact that somebody on the outside who doesn't have an official position is making such a difference.
01:50:24.000Well, that's what they're calling me now.
01:50:25.000They're saying that I'm the outside veteran-in-chief.
01:50:28.000I can't even keep up with all of the reports that are coming out about me because the media, instead of doing this work themselves, they should be going through the plum book and they should be looking at Biden holdovers and Obama holdovers and trying to identify bad actors who probably aren't etiologically aligned with the president's agenda.
01:50:49.000They're now writing stories about how I do the work that I do.
01:51:02.000Laura Loomer, who dubs herself an investigative journalist, is in the news again amid reports that she is vetting Trump administration officials and even getting some fired for insufficient loyalty to his agenda.
01:51:13.000Loomer has traveled closely with President Trump for months and met with Vice President J.D. Vance in June, but the White House said that Loomer was not serving in an advisory role.
01:51:37.000Because I guess there really has never been an outsider, per se, who has the qualifications and the talents and certainly the knowledge and the expertise to be able to work for a presidential administration, who has access to a presidential administration in some capacity, but doesn't get to work on the inside of that administration.
01:52:03.000So perhaps that's why the media finds this to be such an interesting situation or relationship, as they call it.
01:52:11.000But I'm genuinely just a die-hard, loyal supporter of President Trump, and I'm deeply concerned about the vetting crisis.
01:52:19.000This is something that I was worried about when President Trump was running for reelection as it related to the lack of opposition research on his opponent, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.
01:52:30.000And that's why President Trump oftentimes will describe me when he sees me at events or when I'm at Bedminster or at Mar-a-Lago and he'll say, oh, Laura Loomer, you know, without Laura Loomer, right, we wouldn't have defeated Ron DeSantis or, oh, Laura Loomer is the reason why I was able to defeat Ron DeSantis.
01:52:52.000It really is an honor to receive this type of praise from President Trump, who I greatly admire.
01:52:58.000I believe he's the best president of my lifetime.
01:53:00.000He's a personal hero of mine, somebody who I like and respect very much.
01:53:05.000But again, why isn't the media doing this type of work?
01:53:08.000If they're so outraged, they're more than welcome to start doing this work themselves.
01:53:12.000But I don't really think that one, they want to.
01:53:14.000And two, I don't think that they know how to.
01:53:17.000I don't think that a lot of these so-called journalists who work for the mainstream media are as good as they think they are at investigating and looking into people and breaking stories about people.
01:53:31.000And, you know, I was on Steve Bannon's show over the weekend and he said, oh, Laura Loomer doesn't really have the best bedside manner, but it doesn't really matter if she has the best bedside manner or, you know, the best way of presenting this information in terms of, you know, like going along to get along.
01:53:50.000Obviously, I can convey information in a very effective manner because it's reaching the president.
01:53:55.000It's bypassing all the gatekeepers and getting to the president.
01:53:58.000I have perfected that skill set of bypassing gatekeepers.
01:54:03.000But yeah, some people find me to be brash and a lot of people don't like my personality or they don't like the way that I go around, go about doing my work or they don't like the way that I message or communicate.
01:54:16.000But at the end of the day, who really cares about your bedside manner as long as you're right?
01:54:21.000I would rather go throughout my life personally with people thinking that I was some kind of raging bitch, even though I'm a very nice person.
01:54:27.000Even President Trump said it himself in the video.
01:54:30.000Let's go ahead and play the clip again.
01:54:32.000He said, Laura Loomer, I think Laura Loomer is a very nice person, right?
01:54:36.000So even though I'm a very nice person, right?
01:54:39.000These people think that I'm very aggressive and the media likes to say I'm brash or you have people saying that I don't have a good bedside manner.
01:54:48.000But who really cares at the end of the day if you're right, right?
01:54:51.000Like if the information that you're presenting is truthful and it's correct and it's helping the president, who cares if I'm so-called radical, right?
01:55:03.000As President Trump described me, or who cares if I'm described as having a bad bedside matter.
01:55:11.000I don't think that Trump actually thinks I'm radical, but this is what some of his advisors tell him is, oh, you know, we can't have her working in the administration, Mr. President.
01:55:27.000But clearly, I am identifying things that people who work in the administration should be identifying.
01:55:34.000And so I view it as a pleasure to be able to serve as an extra set of eyes and ears to support President Trump, who's a friend of mine, the greatest president of my lifetime, somebody who, as I said before, I deeply admire and respect.
01:55:51.000And you just don't see that type of loyalty anymore in our country, especially in Washington, D.C., where it's a very transactional place.
01:56:00.000Even if I never had a job in the administration, I probably shouldn't say this because I guess I'm showing my hand, right?
01:56:07.000As some of my supporters and friends of the president have told me, they said, you know, don't say that you're willing to do anything.
01:57:11.000And, you know, personally, I think she's a patriot.
01:57:15.000And she gets excited because of the fact that she's a patriot and she doesn't like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country.
01:57:27.000And so it doesn't really matter to me if the mainstream media dislikes me or they think I'm radical or, you know, people think I have a bad bedside manner because I'm doing a service for my country.
01:57:37.000If the president of the United States recognizes that I'm a patriot and that what I'm doing is because I don't like when bad things happen in my country, that's what matters.
01:57:48.000President Trump knows I'm not trying to be malicious towards anybody.
01:57:51.000I'm genuinely outraged over the lack of vetting and the fact that so many bad people have been able to get into the administration to harm the president, who I worked my ass off to help elect.
01:58:02.000And so many people in our country worked very hard to help elect.
01:58:07.000I mean, we would have lost Western civilization as we know it.
01:58:10.000We would have lost our country as we know it had Donald Trump not won the 2024 presidential election.
02:00:03.000And it's literally a computer desk on the treadmill.
02:00:08.000And so now I'm able because I use my phone like 14 to 20 hours a day.
02:00:13.000I mean, even when the New York Times was here and they were profiling me, they saw firsthand.
02:00:16.000I use my computer like 14 to 20 hours a day because I'm so dedicated to, you know, investigate these people and look into these people and support the president.
02:00:26.000I essentially establish my own vetting operation, my own department of vetting from the comfort of my home gym with my treadmill desk, right?
02:00:36.000I have a treadmill on my desk so that while I'm working out and trying to get some exercise in and get my steps in, I can actually get my work done.
02:00:46.000In fact, I'm going to take photos of my treadmill and my desk and I'll film a video of it and then I'll prove it to you, right?
02:00:53.000Because people are probably like, I've never seen this before.
02:00:55.000But they actually have treadmill desks.
02:01:08.000My screen on my treadmill is not as big though.
02:01:10.000And so I have this desk that I've now attached to it.
02:01:15.000And then there's a screen that attaches to the treadmill.
02:01:19.000And then additionally, there's like an area to put another screen.
02:01:23.000So I have the TV screen on the wall, the TV's mounted.
02:01:27.000And then I have the screen on a treadmill.
02:01:29.000And then I have an iPad holder on the treadmill for my iPad.
02:01:33.000And then I have a cell phone holder for my cell phone and a little USB port so that I can charge it at the same time.
02:01:40.000And then I have my laptop desk so that I can walk and talk and do my conference calls at the same time.
02:01:48.000So I'm super excited because before I would just pace around my house and get my steps in while I'm on my calls or while I'm obsessively researching on my phone, but now I can actually work out with my treadmill and my desk.
02:02:02.000And so essentially I've created my own department of vetting from the comfort of my home.
02:02:09.000And as you saw from that Washington Examiner article, we can go back to the article here.
02:02:35.000I would go to school full time and I would work full time so I could go get my nails done and so that I could afford, you know, dress here, dress here clothes.
02:02:44.000And I remember I always wanted to go buy like nice suits and I was a college student.
02:02:48.000And so, you know, I was on a bit of a budget.
02:02:51.000But they say dress for the job that you want, not the job that you have.
02:03:37.000And this was after somebody who he thought, I believe it was Rupert Murdoch, had done something terrible to him.
02:03:43.000And he posted a really long true social post about it.
02:03:46.000And I wrote him a note saying, this is why you need a department of vetting.
02:03:50.000This is why you need somebody to do vetting for you.
02:03:53.000Somebody who's going to watch your back and who's going to look out for you and essentially have, you know, have their eyes out constantly looking out for you, have their eyes and ears open on a 24-7 basis, looking out for you, vetting for you.
02:04:47.000Now Michael Watley is running for Senate in North Carolina.
02:04:52.000But ultimately, I think what ended up happening is Michael Watley didn't want me on his FEC report.
02:04:57.000And so I didn't end up working for the RNC as a research chair.
02:05:02.000Maybe things will change now that Joe Gruiders is going to be the new head of the RNC, hopefully.
02:05:09.000But I say this because, you know, there's so many times I've been qualified for a position or been offered a position or told that I'm going to have a position.
02:05:20.000And I said, if I'm not going to be allowed to work in the administration despite reaching that glass ceiling, right?
02:05:28.000It doesn't really get any higher than the president hiring you in his office on the spot, right?
02:05:33.000Without you trying to even apply for a job, like just the president being impressed by you and your research abilities and all the information that you have, like stored up, kind of like a photographic memory.
02:06:12.000And as somebody who had so much opportunity stolen from me over the last 10 years of my life through cancel culture and censorship and, you know, the most powerful companies in the world trying to destroy me, the most powerful banks, payment processors, the most powerful politicians trying to silence me, I feel very vindicated.
02:06:34.000And I'll always have a deep appreciation for President Trump, regardless of whether or not I'm able to work in his administration for that vindication, right?
02:06:43.000Because while so many other people have tried to bring me down and destroy me and sabotage me and lie about me and smear me, debank me, literally making me the most banned censored woman in the world, President Trump gave me a chance.
02:06:57.000And President Trump sees and recognizes the talent in me and the loyalty that I've displayed to him.
02:07:02.000And so I will forever be loyal to President Trump and I will forever be indebted to President Trump because even if I don't get to work in the administration, the media is now calling me the veteran chief, the outside veteran chief.
02:07:18.000I have already manifested my reality, right?
02:07:20.000People are referring to me as the White House veter, even though I don't even work in the Trump administration.
02:07:28.000And so I think it's a testament to how inspirational President Trump is, because what does he say?
02:07:34.000Fight, fight, fight, and never ever give up.
02:07:37.000And the first time I ever had a meeting with President Trump, I gave him a signed copy of my book and I told him that his comments about never ever ever giving up and the commencement speech that he gave several years ago talking about never giving up really inspired me to not give up throughout my life, especially during times when I wanted to give up because it felt like such a daunting task to be able to defeat these tech companies or to ever really have a comeback, right?
02:08:06.000I felt like my life was going to be over.
02:08:08.000My career was going to be over when all of these tech companies were silencing me and shutting me down and banning me and not allowing me to do my job as a journalist.
02:08:18.000And so I went from, I mean, still to this day, it's kind of unbelievable.
02:08:22.000I still don't have a Facebook or an Instagram account.
02:08:24.000I'm still banned on all of these sites.
02:08:27.000I still don't have access to PayPal and Venmo and GoFundMe and Cash App and all these sites.
02:08:34.000It's pretty remarkable when you think about it.
02:08:41.000And I think it really just has a lot to do with the fact that they're threatened by my ability to pinpoint bad actors and the fact that this is irrefutable evidence.
02:08:53.000This is irrefutable evidence of a vetting crisis.
02:08:56.000I mean, Steve Bannon even said it himself on a show this weekend.
02:09:02.000Let's go ahead and play clip number two.
02:09:07.000I used to think that maybe it was a mistake, but I'm now starting to think that this is not a mistake and that it's all part of the plan because unfortunately they have not cleaned house at the Trump administration with all of these Biden and Obama holdovers.
02:09:21.000Unfortunately, our intel agencies and in many departments throughout the Trump administration, not just our Intel agencies, we've seen that there are a lot of deep state holdovers.
02:09:31.000Just today, President Trump had to fire a Biden official after it was revealed to him that the woman in charge of compiling the job numbers was a Biden holdover, the same Biden holdover who was accused of fluffing numbers for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during this last presidential election season.
02:09:49.000So the question is: how come there wasn't just an executive mandate on day one to say, listen, we are banning and we are firing every single Obama-Biden holdover.
02:10:02.000If you worked for Obama or Joe Biden and you are in this administration, you have 48 hours to resign or else we are going to fire you.
02:10:12.000That's what should have been done on day one.
02:10:16.000And now, unfortunately, you still have all of these acolytes of John Brennan and James Comey and James Clapper finding ways to sneak inside the Departments of Defense.
02:10:32.000And it seems like every single day I have to flag this information for the Trump administration.
02:10:37.000And yes, I guess now the mainstream media has decided to kind of portray me as like President Trump's rasputin, right?
02:10:47.000They think that I'm they think that I'm some kind of villain because I'm trying to protect President Trump from all of these traitors who have somehow found a way to stay inside his administration.
02:11:05.000If you are actually serving the president and you are doing what you're supposed to be doing, you have nothing to be afraid of.
02:11:10.000But if you are subverting the president and trying to hide your Obama holdover buddies so they can get jobs, then yes, you should be afraid because you're going to be found and you're going to get lumered.
02:11:23.000Let's go ahead and play clip number three.
02:11:27.000So Laura, when you mentioned that you believe it's a CIA coup and you see all these people being hired, it shouldn't be lost on you because you're our chief investigator that Steve Feinberg has very deep ties and openly brags about it, deep ties to the CIA.
02:11:42.000In fact, as you said, makes a habit of hiring a lot of deep state operatives that have been very anti-Trump, ma'am.
02:11:51.000Yeah, look, like I said, I think it's very concerning that there's people that he's been able to dupe and convince that he's somehow a MA guy.
02:12:00.000And I think that a lot of people make excuses for individuals in Trump's circle who have these nefarious intentions and ties to the deep state simply because they have wealthy, they have wealth and he's a wealthy individual and he's a billionaire.
02:12:14.000And the fact of the matter is, is you can't convince me.
02:12:17.000And I don't think that we're going to convince anybody here at the war room posse, Steve, that a guy who hires John Brennan's director of operations to be his senior advisor at the Department of Defense and a guy who hires Leon Panetta and Mike Morrell, two of the signatories of the Hunter Biden letter that falsely accused it of being a Russian disinformation op.
02:12:44.000You can't convince me that that person is a good person or that that person is truly MAGA.
02:12:48.000If you're truly MAGA, why would you want anybody tied to John Brennan near you, especially within the Pentagon?
02:12:55.000So yes, I really do believe that we are witnessing a CIA coup of the Pentagon.
02:13:22.000Let's go ahead and play several minutes of it because I think it's important for people to see even Steve Bannon's reaction.
02:13:28.000This is somebody who was an advisor to the president of the United States.
02:13:33.000He has his own show, arguably probably one of the largest right-wing podcasts out there right now that's driving the direction of the MAGA base holding our representatives accountable in Washington, D.C. And even Steve Bannon says that this is irrefutable.
02:14:07.000Like I get animated and I go crazy online when I see things like this happening because I care about my country and I don't really want to watch Obama's goons and Obama's intel operatives and his spies sabotage the Trump administration for a second time.
02:14:23.000Okay, let's go ahead and play clip number 12.
02:14:29.000So my thinking is that because there hasn't been any real justice for the participants in the Russia collusion hoax and nobody part of this Obama era machine of vengeful intel operatives, including James Clapper and John Grennan and James Comey and Christopher Wright, none of these people have been punished for their treasonous activities and their treasonous actions against President Trump.
02:14:56.000And unfortunately, because there has not been a full-scale purge Within the Trump administration of the Obama and Biden-era holdovers, especially within our intelligence agencies, these individuals have now found ways to recruit their friends, right?
02:15:13.000Recruit their friends from the Obama era to get jobs inside the Trump administration.
02:15:19.000And so now what you're seeing, Steve, is you're seeing that all of these John Brennan associates, and of course, we know that John Brennan was Obama's CIA director.
02:15:30.000They're all finding themselves getting jobs and referrals for jobs within the Pentagon.
02:15:35.000And so I truly do believe that there's another Obama-era intel agency coup against the Trump administration taking place right now because you have these Obama CIA officials who are trying to stage a coup of the Trump Pentagon.
02:15:56.000But yes, I agree that this is very suspicious, these people coming in, but how are they coming in?
02:16:01.000I mean, there's Trump officials that are Trump appointees and some that are Senate confirmed that at the top of this and also in the White House and they have a whole vetting operation.
02:16:24.000One of the ways that it's happening is through the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg.
02:16:31.000And Steve Feinberg has this guy working for him as a senior advisor named Tom Rakusen.
02:16:38.000And he was the director of operations for John Brennan.
02:16:41.000And so he's really honestly to blame for a lot of this.
02:16:45.000I'm told by my sources that Tom Rackheusson is the guy who put forth John Edwards as a possible nominee for deputy NSA director.
02:16:58.000And, you know, if you look at who Tom Rackheusen is, it's a little hard to hear you because your phone, the connection keeps popping on your end.
02:17:06.000Every other word, it keeps popping out.
02:17:07.000I don't know if your producer can fix that.
02:17:10.000But Tom Rackhewson is the guy who's referring all of his Obama-era buddies to go work inside the Pentagon.
02:17:20.000I've, you know, sent the information regarding Tom Rackheusen and how toxic he is to the Trump White House, to the Trump administration.
02:17:27.000And yet, for some reason, this guy still remains within the Trump administration, despite the fact that he was one of the main organizers of the Russia collusion hoax.
02:17:37.000This is the guy who cited, even in, there's actually a new book that recently came out, Steve.
02:17:44.000And it's written by a leftist who used to work at the New York Times.
02:17:47.000And it documents the history of the CIA.
02:17:50.000And it credits Tom Rackhewson as being one of the main players to push back on President Trump's election victory in 2016.
02:18:00.000And it says that Tom Rackhewson, as the director of operations at the CIA for John Brennan, organized the first phone call after President Trump's victory in 2016 to make sure that, quote, the Russians stole our election, quote, we must make sure this never effing happens again.
02:18:19.000Why does Steve Feinberg, who, you know, for some reason you have all these people going around lobbyists trying to pretend like Steve Feinberg is a MA guy, okay?
02:18:28.000He's not a MA guy, trying to pretend like he has the president's best interest.
02:18:33.000This is a guy who at his capital management firm hired all of the Obama-era spooks.
02:18:44.000He hired Mike Morrell, both of whom were stripped of their security clearances by President Trump for being two of the individuals who were, you know, the 51 spies who lied.
02:18:54.000Remember, Mike Morrell was the ringleader of the letter signed by CIA and other Intel officials to say that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
02:19:06.000And so what I want to know is why is a guy who really has no background whatsoever as it relates to our defense or issues of national security, of course, I'm talking about Steve Feinberg.
02:19:21.000Why is he allowed to be given a pass for hiring all of these Obama-era spooks like Tom Rackheusen and even in his own firm?
02:19:38.000And again, you could even see the look of disbelief or shock, I should say, because he believes it, obviously, on Steve Bannon's face because he can see firsthand how serious this is.
02:19:50.000And a lot of people can see how serious this is.
02:19:53.000I've had conversations with Roger Stone about this this week, General Flynn.
02:19:57.000So many people can see how serious this crisis is.
02:20:00.000And the question everybody has is: how is this happening?
02:20:07.000And so, look, if the media wants to continue criticizing me and demonizing me because of the work that I'm doing to expose the vetting crisis, so be it.
02:20:16.000I'm going to continue doing my outside vetting because it's the patriotic thing to do and it's the pro-American thing to do.
02:21:17.000And you too can fill out the tip line.
02:21:19.000You just select the dropdown bar on the far right side of my website and it will take you to the tip line where you can enter your information and send me a tip.
02:21:30.000You can scroll down, put your name, your email, your message, and click send.
02:23:06.000Speaking of a vetting crisis, let's talk about Tucker Katarlson, somebody who has unfortunately been lifted up over the last several years in our country and has positioned himself as a truth teller and a voice for the conservative movement.
02:24:28.000And, you know, I'm a loyal individual.
02:24:31.000And yet, Tucker Carlson is out here demonizing me and saying that I'm the creepiest person in the world and that he doesn't know where I came from.
02:24:40.000And then he's telling the New York New York Times that he thinks that I'm like a child with a loaded gun called Twitter because I'm loyal to the president.
02:24:53.000And you have to ask yourself, who is Tucker Carlson and who is he really working for?
02:24:59.000And why is Tucker Carlson so triggered by people having a fierce loyalty to the president, a president that he pretends to like, a president whose son, Tucker Carlson's son, right?
02:25:12.000Buckley, his name is Buckley Carlson, is literally working in Trump's administration.
02:25:16.000He works as the deputy press secretary for Tucker for J.D. Vance.
02:25:20.000Tucker Carlson's son, Buckley Carlson, works in the White House as the deputy press secretary for Vice President J.D. Vance.
02:25:32.000And yet he is attacking me and saying that I am the creepiest person because I'm loyal to Trump.
02:25:41.000Well, maybe people shouldn't be taking Tucker Carlson so seriously anymore.
02:25:47.000I mean, after all, President Trump called him a kook, right?
02:25:50.000Just listen to President Trump in his own words, talk about the importance of loyalty and how important it is that he has loyal people in his life.
02:26:00.000I built this empire and I did it by myself.
02:27:13.000He tries to demonize people and put them down.
02:27:16.000He tries to make up lies about people and their sexuality.
02:27:19.000He tries to make up lies about people, you know, and their intentions.
02:27:24.000He's tried to insinuate that I'm some kind of spy for Israel or that I'm America last and that I'm not really loyal to my country because I'm Jewish.
02:27:34.000If you challenge Tucker Carlson, he's going to find something to say about you to try to damage your character and shit all over you to try to make you look bad because it's a lot easier to just use your platform, your enormous platform, if you're Tucker Carlson to demonize somebody else instead of actually combating what they say about you with facts.
02:27:58.000And he doesn't like me because obviously I showed that he was in FARA, registered in FARA as, you know, having done media work for the government of Qatar.
02:28:13.000And it's listed under this group called Luminate Advisors that was paid $180,000 per month.
02:28:19.000And in the FARA record, it literally says that Tucker Carlson had a meeting with the prime minister of Qatar to talk about Qatar and the implications of the war with Iran.
02:28:31.000And it was essentially Qatari and Iranian propaganda, so much so that it literally was registered in FARA.
02:28:38.000And I published these documents about a month or so ago, a month and a half, maybe two months.
02:29:44.000People have been talking about Tucker Carlson's father being a part of the CIA and propaganda efforts.
02:29:49.000And so, you know what they say, like father like son.
02:29:52.000It would not surprise me if Tucker Carlson himself was some type of Intel asset or if Tucker Carlson was a fed or if Tucker Carlson was working for some type of a foreign government, he's certainly not this lifelong conservative that he pretends to be.
02:30:08.000Used to be registered as a Democrat, okay, worked for CNN.
02:30:12.000Certainly not some big Trump defender himself.
02:30:14.000So maybe it triggers him so much because he has a history of pretending to like President Trump and a history of gaslighting the MAGA base for ratings and for money into thinking that he's some kind of America first guy, right?
02:30:28.000Cares about American manufacturing, cares about American workers, cares about American men, American women, American elections, right?
02:30:49.000But I guess like when people started realizing how Tucker Carlson had Zen in his pocket, he wanted to monetize off of his own nicotine fetish.
02:31:00.000And so he started his own or created his own nicotine pouches.
02:31:31.000And Neil Patel was a senior advisor to Dick Cheney, vice president to Bush.
02:31:38.000And one of his jobs while he was a senior advisor and a liaison was to bring the classified information to the vice president and give him his briefings.
02:31:51.000And so Tucker Carlson loves to talk about how he's anti-war.
02:31:55.000Yet he's gone into business with an Indian guy named Neil Patel.
02:32:12.000But if you look at the back of these packages, here we go.
02:32:15.000It says like literally assembled in India.
02:32:18.000And so everything that Tucker Carlson says, he pretends to be against H-1B visas and he pretends to be against mass migration and does these very long, extensive monologues on his show, pretending like he cares about American interests.
02:32:32.000And yet here he is doing propaganda for foreign Islamic governments.
02:33:34.000So Tucker Carlson, who pretends like he is a champion for the American working class and American workers and claims that he wants to crack down on immigration and claims that he wants to crack down on H-1B visas, is assembling his own nicotine pouches in India.
02:33:51.000I mean, everything about this guy is a fraud, right?
02:33:54.000He rails against Donald Trump and complains about how Donald Trump is going to get us into war with Iran.
02:34:12.000Like, everything about Tucker Carlson is so fake and phony.
02:34:17.000And I'm not the only person saying it.
02:34:19.000There's been a lot of people with their own shows.
02:34:21.000You know, you can go figure out who yourself who have been critical of Tucker Carlson and calling him out for being the bullshitter and the basically just complete fraud that he's always been, right?
02:34:33.000I don't think this guy has ever been true to himself or true to the American people or his viewers or his audience, whether it be now with the Tucker Carlson network or Fox News.
02:34:44.000I don't think he's ever been honest about who he is.
02:34:48.000Everything that this guy says and everything that this guy does is to pursue his own personal agenda.
02:34:54.000And so I had been sitting on some information about Tucker for a while.
02:34:58.000And I just decided while I saw everybody jumping on Tucker Carlson this weekend after, you know, I kind of created the anti-Tucker bandwagon several months ago with my posts and the coining of the term Tucker Katarlson that I came up with to describe him for his relationship with Qatar.
02:35:18.000But look, Tucker goes around pretending like he's some kind of conservative hero.
02:35:23.000I don't even know how a registered Democrat who worked for CNN was able to, you know, gaslight people into thinking that he was some kind of champion for Americans or a champion for Trump or, you know, a champion for the MAGA movement.
02:35:39.000Obviously, I know a lot of people in the intelligence community.
02:35:43.000I know a lot of people who are whistleblowers.
02:35:46.000I mean, being in this industry, I know a lot of people and I come across a lot of information.
02:35:51.000And I don't always release the information that I have when I receive it.
02:35:58.000Sometimes I sit on information and I just wait, right?
02:36:01.000Because it's not always the best time or the right time to release the information.
02:36:06.000And in the aftermath of, well, and also the days leading up to the stolen election of 2020, Tucker Carlson had a meeting with a friend of mine.
02:36:18.000His executive producer had a meeting with a friend of mine who arranged a meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn on Long Island.
02:36:31.000And he brought him a USB drive that had the contents of a Hunter Biden laptop, like the actual Hunter Biden laptop, right?
02:36:39.000Because there's some controversy out there about which version is legitimate and if there's any versions that have been altered or any documents that have been manipulated.
02:36:48.000This was a carbon copy of Hunter Biden's laptop with an encrypted code to access the USB drive.
02:36:58.000And Tucker Carlson's producer, we could just go through this entire thread and you can see for yourself.
02:37:03.000But essentially, you know, I am just so sick and tired of people giving Tucker Carlson a pass because they think that he's some kind of a pro-Trump guy or some kind of, you know, hero and that, oh, he was fired.
02:37:15.000He was fired from Fox News for talking about election fraud.
02:37:19.000Tucker Carlson is one of the individuals who helped facilitate the election fraud by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
02:37:26.000And he willingly and deliberately chose to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 to preserve his friendship with his good old buddy and former neighbor, Hunter Biden, and his relationship with the Biden family.
02:37:43.000And again, it's like another example of vetting.
02:37:46.000Tucker Carlson, even after he went on a tirade in the aftermath of the 2020 election and said that Donald Trump was a demonic force and that he hated Donald Trump, like he literally is quoted saying he hates Donald Trump.
02:37:57.000And we're going to go through this right now when we read this thread.
02:38:01.000But again, why is somebody like this allowed to get this close to the president?
02:38:04.000Why is somebody who hates the president who deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story allowed to have their son go work for the vice president of the United States?
02:38:21.000In the weeks leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, a bombshell of unprecedented magnitude was poised to reshape the political landscape.
02:38:29.000Okay, obviously, you know, I'm talking about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
02:38:36.000As we now know, it was a fully authenticated device backed up by metadata chains, device logs, and financial records that painted a damning picture of Joe Biden and his inner circle.
02:38:47.000But instead of exposing this, Tucker Carlson chose to suppress the information.
02:38:54.000And by choosing to suppress this information, you could really argue that Tucker Carlson changed the outcome of the presidential election or made it easier for the outcome of the presidential election to swing for Joe Biden with the theft of the election.
02:39:09.000As we now know, that this was a concerted effort by our intelligence agencies to present the Hunter Biden laptop as a Russian disinformation hoax when we know it's real.
02:39:18.000And Tucker Carlson was presented with evidence in a hotel room.
02:39:22.000Well, his executive producer was presented with this evidence.
02:39:25.000And then the evidence from what I was told by my source, who is the person who was a part of this meeting.
02:39:35.000And they have no problem with me admitting that because obviously I would not have this information were it not for my source, who also happens to be a friend of mine, who happens to be the same person who briefed Tucker Carlson's executive producer and gave them the thumb drive.
02:39:56.000But it is irrefutable evidence that Tucker Carlson decided to sit on the story of the Hunter Biden laptop instead of actually doing his job to expose it.
02:40:07.000So as it says, this expose delves into the details of Carlson's actions, his personal and financial ties to the Bidens, and the motivations behind his decision to bury a story that has altered the course of American political history and has had disastrous consequences for our country.
02:40:27.000In mid-October 2020, with the presidential election less than three weeks away, an intelligent source who I personally know met with Tucker Carlson's executive producer, Alexander McCaskill, at the Hilton Garden Inn on Long Island, New York for four hours.
02:40:40.000The purpose of the meeting was clear: to deliver the original, authenticated Hunter Biden laptop and a USB drive containing meticulously curated intelligence-grade products extracted from Hunter Biden's laptop.
02:40:52.000Obviously, I would not have access to a photo of the thumb drive with the business card of Alexander McCaskill unless this was legitimate.
02:41:06.000I blurred out his personal information and the source took a photo of the business card next to the thumb drive to prove that they had delivered this evidence to Tucker Carlson's producer.
02:41:16.000A four-hour long meeting at a hotel in New York.
02:41:21.000Here's what was on the red USB that was given to Tucker's senior producer, Alexander McCaskill.
02:41:27.000Financial transactions, logs tied to shell companies and foreign governments pointing to possible money laundering, tax evasion and influence peddling, encrypted communications, chat records and device logs leaking Hunter Biden to illicit activities, including drug use, prostitution, and possibly human trafficking.
02:41:44.000Audiovisual evidence, material implicating Hunter Biden in drug use, firearms violations, and other criminal behavior, and compromised communications, including correspondence indicating foreign access to Joe Biden's unsecured communication channels during his vice presidency, raising serious national security concerns.
02:42:02.000So obviously, with all of this information on the USB, it was a smoking gun.
02:42:06.000It was a smoking gun, and they had the validated metadata, metadata, and unbroken chains of custody for the records.
02:42:13.000And this was not just any kind of USB drive, right?
02:42:17.000This was intelligence-grade evidence of the corruption at the highest levels of our government by Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
02:42:26.000The executive producer, Alex, reviewed all portions of the material on site, and he expressed his immediate interest to get it to Tucker Carlson, had a conversation with Tucker Carlson while he was there.
02:42:40.000Tucker Carlson claims that he was in California at the time.
02:42:45.000And ultimately, the producer and Tucker Carlson said that because of how damning these documents were, they wanted to do a story about it within 48 hours, that they were going to actually broadcast the findings within 48 hours.
02:42:59.000So Tucker Carlson's producer, and you can scroll up and you can see his business card once again.
02:43:05.000Again, it says senior producer Tucker Carlson tonight, Alexander McCaskill.
02:43:13.000He took possession of the USB drive and access to all the credentials to a secure cloud archive mirroring its contents.
02:43:20.000And they were told that 48 hours later, Tucker Carlson would be broadcasting it.
02:43:25.000Well, then, instead of broadcasting it two days later, Tucker Carlson decided that he was going to tell this wild, fantastical story about how the USB drive was lost in the mail, even though they never reached out to the source again to ask for a digital copy.
02:43:40.000And even though the source has had offered to send a digital copy of the drive and its contents.
02:43:48.000And so the source even said they had a digital copy if they needed it in the aftermath of Tucker Carlson going on his program and saying that, oh, well, you know, we were expecting to get this drive and it looks like it's been lost.
02:44:01.000Well, the source reached out and said that they would easily give them an electronic copy again.
02:44:06.000And they just completely ghosted the source.
02:44:30.000Let's go ahead and play this clip because you can see this fantastical lie and gaslighting that Tucker Carlson conveyed to his audience less than one month before the presidential election in 2020.
02:44:42.000And it just begs the question, why would Tucker Carlson lie to his audience and tell them that a USB drive that he could have easily had a digital copy sent to his email and his producer was still in touch with the source at the time sent to him when he, instead of just coming clean about this, like, why would he tell this story about a USB drive getting lost in the mail when the producer had the option of just going to the source and getting an electronic copy?
02:45:09.000They told the source that they didn't want him to send an electronic copy.
02:45:46.000The producer is living in New York where Tucker Show is broadcasted.
02:45:50.000Why would they need to take it and fedix it?
02:45:54.000I mean, doesn't this just sound, you know, kind of like a bullshit story?
02:45:58.000And it's because Tucker Carlson never told anybody about the meeting that his executive producer had with this source who had intelligence-grade information on this drive.
02:46:09.000Tucker Carlson wanted to present this conspiracy like, wow, you know, somebody, we don't know who sent us this drive and it has all this information on it and the drive's now gone.
02:46:19.000Wow, we have no way of getting this information when the source said that they would send them a digital copy.
02:46:26.000So Tucker Carlson made the deliberate choice to not run the Hunter Biden laptop story and listen to the story that he told his viewers.
02:46:34.000It's about a four-minute clip, but just listen to the way that Tucker Carlson gaslights his viewers into thinking that this USB drive got lost and they have no idea where the contents are.
02:46:45.000Last night we told you about a pretty weird experience we had this week.
02:46:48.000On Monday, one of our producers in New York overnighted a package to our executive producer, Justin Wells, and to me in Los Angeles.
02:46:54.000We were there preparing for an interview with a former Biden family business partner called Tony Bobolinski.
02:46:59.000Somewhere along the way, the contents of that package disappeared.
02:47:02.000Inside it was a flash drive that contained primary documents pertaining to the Biden family.
02:47:07.000We should tell you those documents did not come from Tony Bobolinsky.
02:47:10.000And of course, we made a copy of those files before we sent them because we're careful.
02:47:14.000We get a lot of documents from a lot of different sources all the time, but that's especially true in election years.
02:47:19.000And before we put them on the air, we have to determine first whether they're real, these were real, whether they're newsworthy, and whether it's legal to show them.
02:47:26.000We wanted to assess what we had, and we're still assessing it.
02:47:29.000But the point is, the package never arrived.
02:47:32.000Proprietary reporting on the Biden family, documents sent between journalists by supposedly secure overnight mail, disappeared.
02:47:39.000And they vanished on the same day we were conducting a heavily publicized interview based in part on documents from the Biden family.
02:47:45.000So as you can imagine, we wanted to know what happened.
02:47:48.000Unfortunately, we still don't know what happened.
02:47:50.000This morning, UPS issued a press release announcing they had found our flash drive and then boasting about their customer service.
02:47:55.000Quote, UPS will always focus first on our customers and will never stop working to solve issues, which is fine.
02:50:00.000The ones that are pertinent to his business career abroad, favors he did on behalf of foreign clients with the help of his father, that seems relevant.
02:50:48.000It's probably too strong to say we feel sorry for Hunter Biden, but the point is, pounding on a man, jumping on, piling on when he's already down is something that we don't want to be involved in.
02:51:04.000That's not really why Tucker Carlson didn't want to pile on to Hunter Biden, though.
02:51:10.000Let's look at the real reason why Tucker Carlson chose not to pile on his good friend and neighbor, Hunter Biden, who has such an amazing wife, just a lovely wife.
02:51:22.000Let's go through this thread and scroll up.
02:51:27.000Scroll down so we can see the rest of this thread.
02:51:30.000This explanation raised immediate red flags.
02:51:35.000If you want to read the entire thread, it's on my ex.
02:51:37.000Internal communications later obtained by the source revealed that there was no evidence of the mailing of the drive by Carlson's team.
02:51:44.000The loss in the mail narrative was a fabrication, a deliberate misdirection to deflect scrutiny and to bury the story to protect Tucker Carlson's longtime friend, Hunter Biden.
02:51:54.000Here you can see here, the news articles that came out about it.
02:51:58.000Tucker Carlson reveals UPS told him that lost flash drive with damning Hunter Biden documents was found on the floor of a Manhattan store as he demands investigation.
02:52:07.000Well, whatever happened to the investigation or was it all for show?
02:52:11.000I think it was all for show because, well, it's a lot easier to create a conspiracy and use your platform to make people think like UPS is unpacking your packages because, you know, some hourly, some hourly employee at UPS really knows what's on a USB drive, right?
02:52:43.000Why was your producer taking a hard drive, a USB drive to a Manhattan UPS store when the Fox News studios are in Manhattan?
02:52:56.000And your meeting and the meeting with the executive producer was at the Hilton Garden Inn in Long Island or on Long Island, as they say, on Long Island.
02:53:15.000Maybe, maybe he'll maybe he'll get back to us.
02:53:18.000So you can scroll through, scroll through the other images as well, and you can see the other images here.
02:53:25.000Said UPS told him the flash drive was found on the floor.
02:53:28.000Demanded answers about the flash drive and how it came loose.
02:53:32.000Said the obvious explanation is that someone removed it from the package.
02:53:35.000Or maybe Tucker's producer never sent it.
02:53:40.000Maybe this was all a big lie to try to make people think that the documents were gone and therefore Tucker Carlson couldn't report on Hunter Biden because how are you supposed to report on Hunter Biden if you don't have the documents?
02:53:56.000Didn't anybody think to question Tucker?
02:53:58.000Well, no, because how dare you question Tucker Carlson, right?
02:54:01.000Everybody's so scared of Tucker Carlson.
02:54:40.000So I don't really care about calling Tucker Carlson out because I have no desire to go on a show.
02:54:44.000I know that in the world of conservative gatekeeping, people think, oh, well, I'm never going to criticize this person because they're never going to allow me on or they're going to blackball me in conservative media.
02:54:54.000I was already on the Fox News blacklist.
02:54:56.000Tucker Carlson gaslit Americans when he said that big tech wasn't going to be allowed to censor candidates in the state of Florida when I was a camp when I was a candidate, a congressional candidate in the state of Florida, denied access to all social media by big tech.
02:55:11.000So again, Tucker Carlson is a liar and I've noticed his pattern of lying for several years now and the way that he gaslights people and the way that he gatekeeps.
02:55:21.000He wanted to cry about how awful Ilhan Omar was and how awful he thought that care was.
02:55:27.000Again, I'm not allowed to speak about care, but I'm just using it as an example, right?
02:55:32.000He had a segment where he was talking about Ilhan Omar's associations with care, and then he didn't even want to talk about the fact that I had a lawsuit against care and the fact that I was banned from social media for exposing Ilhan Omar.
02:55:46.000So it's really interesting to me how Tucker Carlson loves to act like he's the arbiter of truth within the MAGA movement.
02:55:57.000And if Tucker Carlson says it, well, it must be true.
02:56:00.000And this is what happens in media when people exploit and take advantage of the trust that people have for them.
02:56:06.000They start to lie and they think that they can abuse their positions of power and abuse their access to the media to lie for the sake of deceiving people or pushing their own agendas.
02:56:19.000Let's see the last screenshot on here of the news coverage.
02:56:25.000Tucker Carlson abandons Hunter Biden's story on final stretch before election day.
02:56:29.000And suspiciously, this story has since been deleted from the internet.
02:56:34.000So Hunter Biden apparently was off limits for Tucker Carlson because, well, who needs to kick a man when he's already down?
02:56:45.000The act of suppression was not a mere oversight or logistical error.
02:56:48.000It was a calculated decision to withhold evidence of national significance.
02:56:52.000Carlson, a figure trusted by millions of conservative viewers, had the opportunity to expose corruption that could have reshaped the public's perception of Joe Biden.
02:57:00.000But instead, he chose to spike the story, ensuring that it never reached the airwaves in the critical final days of the 2020 presidential election.
02:57:09.000Something he really doesn't want anybody knowing about.
02:57:28.000You can see here, too, that according, you can scroll up a little bit, go up to go back to those numbers.
02:57:39.000According to internal Republican National Committee Swing State Analytics reviewed in November 2020, a full broadcast expose by Tucker Carlson of the Hunter Biden laptop story would have reached millions of viewers and it would have influenced 2.8% to 3.4% of undecided voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
02:58:00.000And so we now know from admissions from people like Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg and others that they were told to suppress this information because of the way that it could influence the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump and against Joe Biden.
02:58:20.000Had Tucker Carlson aired the Hunter Biden laptop story, the shift in voter sentiment could have flipped these battleground states, potentially altering the outcome of the 2020 election and saving us all from the Biden regime in four years of the aftermath of a stolen election.
02:58:36.000But that would require Tucker Carlson to one, actually want to expose his good friend Hunter Biden and two, actually wanting Donald Trump to win.
02:58:44.000But as we found out in the aftermath of the stolen 2020 election in the Dominion lawsuit with the discovery process, Tucker Carlson's own text messages reveal that he hated Donald Trump.
02:58:55.000In fact, he said with his producer Alex Pfeiffer, who ironically now works in the Trump administration, again, another issue with the so-called, you know, vetting that's happening in the White House.
02:59:07.000Kind of interesting how Tucker Carlson's executive producer said these things.
02:59:11.000Tucker Carlson says we are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump on most nights.
03:01:07.000Let's go to the thread to the very beginning.
03:01:10.000Documents from Hunter Biden's investor ledger released by whistleblowers in 2020 and 2021 revealed that Tucker Carlson was a financial associate in at least one Washington, D.C. real estate venture linked to Hunter Biden and Rosemont entities.
03:01:23.000While non-controlling, this investment suggests a pre-existing business rapport that Carlson never disclosed to his audience.
03:01:30.000Emails from Hunter Biden's accounts further show the exchanges between the two men from 2014 to 2017, discussing media exposure, real estate opportunities, and reputation management.
03:01:42.000These ties created a conflict of interest that Carlson concealed while covering Biden-related stories during his employment at Fox News.
03:01:49.000Scroll down, you can see those emails yourself.
03:02:27.000So there's several people married there, right?
03:02:29.000But Tucker and Susie Carlson involved in real estate investments with Hunter Biden.
03:02:37.000Tucker Carlson never disclosed this when he said that he didn't want to talk about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
03:02:43.000How come he didn't disclose to his viewers that he had real estate investments with Hunter Biden or that there were discussions taking place about his real estate investments potentially with Hunter Biden?
03:02:54.000Seems like a pretty big conflict of interest.
03:02:59.000In 2015, the Ashley Madison data breach exposed Hunter Biden's active account verified by matching credit card details, email, and metadata.
03:03:06.000Independent researchers, including those at Breitbart, approached Carlson's producers with this evidence, but he declined to report it, citing the story as too volatile and not worth touching.
03:03:16.000The decision later described in counter disinformation circles as spiking, shielded Hunter Biden from public scrutiny and suggested a pattern of protecting the Biden family.
03:03:26.000Again, all the receipts are there at the bottom.
03:04:20.000But the notion that under any circumstances, whether ordered or by an editor or not, that someone would confront my 16-year-old daughter at my home is just wrong.
03:04:28.000Regardless, I should have never put you in this position.
03:04:31.000You have your own family of all whom I love, whom I love.
03:04:35.000Hunter Biden saying he loves Tucker Carlson's family.
03:04:38.000This is the real reason why Tucker Carlson didn't want to talk about the Hunter Biden laptop story, okay?
03:04:43.000And your business and defending me is not something a friend should ask a friend to do.
03:04:47.000Tell Susie we love her and miss you both very much.
03:04:50.000Okay, so tell your wife Susie, Tucker Carlson's wife, Susie, we love her and we miss her very much.
03:04:58.000This is the real reason why Tucker Carlson didn't want to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story.
03:05:04.000He was running cover for his friend Hunter Biden.
03:05:14.000That's the that's the letter from the Daily Mail White House correspondent that was sent to Hunter Biden in 2015 inquiring about the Ashley Madison breach and the fact that he was in the Ashley Madison breach.
03:05:33.000So again, Hunter Biden is friends with Tucker Carlson.
03:05:38.000He's in emails talking about how he loves Tucker Carlson and his wife Susie.
03:05:52.000You have the favors asking Hunter Biden to help his son Buckley Carlson, who is now the deputy press secretary for vice president J.D. Vance, get into school.
03:06:02.000Ask him to write him a letter of recommendation.
03:06:53.000But again, why do people trust Tucker Carlson?
03:06:55.000Why do people take anything that he says seriously about our foreign policy or for any political matter in our country for that for that matter?
03:07:04.000I mean, the guy is completely compromised.
03:07:49.000And ultimately, Tucker Carlson is going to have a legacy of complicity.
03:07:54.000Tucker Carlson's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story was not just a mere lapse in judgment.
03:08:00.000It was a deliberate act that shielded a compromised political dynasty and altered the course of the 2020 presidential election.
03:08:06.000You can scroll down, open up that last thread.
03:08:10.000By bearing evidence of corruption, foreign influence, and criminal activity involving the Biden family, Carlson betrayed the trust of millions who relied on him to expose the truth.
03:08:19.000Tucker's personal and financial ties to the Biden family combined with strategic calculations reveal a man whose public persona as a fearless journalist masked a deeper allegiance to self-preservation and insider networks.
03:08:33.000I mean, ultimately, Tucker just appears to be more of a deep state propagandist used to influence conservative voters than he is a journalist.
03:08:42.000And it begs the question: who is Tucker Carlson and who does he work for?
03:08:46.000Has he ever been the person that he's been portraying himself as for years as a so-called conservative commentator?
03:08:56.000That is something that people should think pretty long and hard about.
03:09:01.000It's pretty disturbing to think that this guy doesn't even really believe in the things that he's been spewing on his show for years.
03:09:12.000And he's friends with the very actors who helped steal the election of 2020, who helped undermine Donald Trump.
03:09:21.000And it just makes you wonder, like, if he was truly pro-Trump and he was truly conservative and believed the things that he said, why would he be fraternizing with people like Hunter Biden and the Biden family?
03:10:04.000I blame the adults who take her seriously, Tucker Carlson told the New York Times.
03:10:10.000Well, the same could be said about Tucker Carlson.
03:10:14.000I blame the people who take him seriously.
03:10:18.000What more evidence do people need to see that this guy is a total fraud and a total propagandist, and he does not have the best interests of the Trump administration in mind, and he does not have the best interests of America in mind.
03:10:31.000So again, I always am very critical of people who attack me for my vetting exposures and the fact that I'm calling out the vetting crisis.
03:10:40.000Because when I start vetting them and I start looking into their background, they don't pass the smell test.
03:10:50.000And that's why what I'm doing is so important.
03:10:53.000Because if it weren't for me speaking truth to power, how would people find out about these things?
03:10:57.000How are people supposed to find out about all of these deep state connections to Obama officials and Biden officials?
03:11:03.000Even Tucker Carlson has just been exposed as, you know, you could make the argument of being a Biden operative himself, running cover for the Biden family, running cover for Hunter Biden.
03:11:18.000So at the end of the day, don't just trust people because they tell you that they're conservative.
03:11:24.000Don't just trust people because they say they're pro-Trump.
03:11:27.000People should be critical of all the information they get.
03:11:30.000You should even be critical of the information you receive from me.
03:11:33.000Don't just trust people at face value because somebody says that they're MAGA or that they're conservative.
03:11:40.000Do your research into who these people are, whether they're Trump administration officials or purveyors of conservative media and content like Tucker Carlson, who wants to be the arbiter of truth and claims that he is basically the deciding factor of what it means to be America first, going so far as calling President Trump a puppet for Israel and saying that Donald Trump is not America first.
03:12:08.000Be very critical of who you're getting your information from because all these people have something to hide.
03:12:14.000And what I found from conducting my own independent vetting operation addressing this vetting crisis is that most people don't pass the vetting test.
03:12:26.000So I want to thank all of you who continue to support my work here at Loomer Unleashed.
