On tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, host Laura Lovelace talks about the end of AmericaFest and what it means for the future of the conservative movement. She also asks the question: Will we ever see a political comeback like the one we experienced under President Trump?

00:23:04.000God forbid you stay uninformed for the rest of the week, right?
00:23:08.000I feel like you get a lot of inside information on this show that you don't get anywhere else, right?

00:23:29.000We saw the conclusion of America Fest, Amfest, as they call it, TPUSA, the first Amfest hosted in Arizona since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of TPUSA.
00:26:07.000We saw the amazing political comeback with President Trump in November of 2024, the probably the biggest political comeback in U.S. history.
00:26:16.000But will we see that political comeback as it relates to the benefits, what they call the coattails, right?
00:26:25.000The coattail benefits of the incumbent being at the top of the ballot, the president being at the top of the ballot on the ticket.
00:26:36.000Will we see those coattail wins be replicated or at least maintained over the next three years while we have President Trump in the White House and after?
00:26:51.000What is a post-Trump GOP going to look like?
00:26:54.000That is what everybody is grappling with.
00:26:57.000Because look, will President Trump be around after he leaves office?
00:27:01.000Yeah, I we all want Donald Trump to live forever.
00:27:05.000Personally, I wish we could like cryogenically freeze President Trump and then, you know, like save his body in a freezer and then have a bunch of scientists work out how we can cryogenically freeze people and then bring them back to life.
00:27:19.000I wish we could have President Trump forever.
00:27:21.000I wish President Trump could be president forever.
00:27:24.000I personally don't think that we're ever going to see another president or another leader as effective as Donald Trump or as transformative as Donald Trump.
00:27:32.000He is an amazing president, my personal hero.
00:27:35.000And he really is single-handedly the motive, not only the motivational force that drives Republicans out to the polls, not just Republicans, first-time voters, independents, Democrats, unaffiliated voters, independents, you name it, right?
00:27:52.000Whatever, whatever you fall into, whatever category you may fall into.
00:27:56.000Not only has Donald Trump over the last 10 years been this, the largest motivational force driving those people to the polls, but he's also been the adhesive, the glue, keeping everything together.
00:28:11.000Because as we have seen, Republicans really seem incapable of not just winning, but maintaining wins and also leading unless Donald Trump is at the top of the ballot.
00:28:24.000I mean, just look at what a disaster it was in our country the last four years when Joe Biden was occupying the presidency, occupying the White House, and we had Republicans that just seemed really incapable.
00:28:37.000They didn't really seem to be able to lead until Donald Trump announced that he was running for reelection for president.
00:28:44.000And now we find ourselves in the same situation where President Trump has to, you know, work 20 hours a day.
00:28:52.000He has a broken economy that he inherited from Joe Biden that he is trying to fix.
00:29:00.000He has to manage the mass deportation campaign in our country with the judicial coup happening where you have all these radical leftist activist judges blocking him every step of the way.
00:29:13.000You have, You know, petty Republicans like Marjorie Trader Green and Thomas Massey who want to get revenge on President Trump because he wouldn't endorse their, you know, their Senate campaigns or their gubernatorial campaigns.
00:29:27.000And now they're trying to burn the entire party down and hand it to the Democrats in an effort to spite the president.
00:29:34.000You have so much that the president has to deal with.
00:29:39.000We just had the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:29:42.000Like there are things that are unexpected that happen in addition to the already jam-packed, busy schedule, the president of the United States that he is tasked with dealing with on a daily basis.
00:29:53.000And you have to ask yourself at some point, what do these Republicans do all day?
00:29:59.000Like, what are they actually doing to make Trump's life easier?
00:30:04.000What are they actually doing to codify President Trump's agenda?
00:30:08.000What are they doing to help us, you know, help us drive Republicans to the polls ahead of these midterm elections?
00:30:20.000Because it doesn't really seem like the Republicans have much of a strategy.
00:30:25.000It seems like over the last year, the largest podcasters and the largest pundits and the most popular pundits on the right have just been obsessed with talking about Israel and Jews and October 7th.
00:30:36.000And while we can have policy debates, I'm not saying that you're not allowed to criticize Israel.
00:30:40.000You're not allowed to, you know, talk about Israel.
00:30:42.000You're not allowed to have a conversation or a dialogue or a debate about our foreign policy.
00:30:52.000It feels like there really has just been such an imbalance over the last year-really just two years, but since President Trump has won reelection since the inauguration, there's really just been such an imbalance.
00:31:06.000When you look at the rhetoric and the points of focus and the topics of discussion amongst conservatives, the things that they're talking about, I mean, like, even at turning point this weekend, a lot of people were just talking about USS Liberty.
00:31:20.000It's like, okay, how does this have anything to do with the upcoming midterm elections?
00:31:26.000What does this have to do with ending political violence in America?
00:31:30.000We are now three years, a little, you know, close to four months post the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:31:36.000Like, what does this have to do with any of those topics?
00:31:45.000We, on the last episode of Loomer Unleashed, went through a lot of the different speeches.
00:31:50.000You know, you had Ben Shapiro, you had Tucker Carlson, you had Megan Kelly, you had Jack Pesobic.
00:31:56.000And all we saw was this theme of nonstop infighting.
00:32:00.000Now, people will criticize, and I'm not really a big Ben Shapiro fan.
00:32:04.000I mean, he's kept me, he's like been a big gatekeeper.
00:32:06.000He's kept me out of, you know, the conservative movement for a while, I would say, in terms of like being able to really mainstream myself.
00:32:14.000I mean, I've been, I was banned from appearing on Daily Wire.
00:32:19.000I was not allowed to go on any of the Daily Wire shows.
00:32:22.000I was not allowed to like be featured on any of their websites.
00:32:25.000So I'll say, like, I'm not a huge Ben Shapiro fan.
00:32:28.000I'm not really a fan of any of the gatekeeping by the people.
00:32:31.000And the money that he did decide to invest into talent really backfired on him because he created a bunch of anti-Semites, right?
00:32:39.000Like, if you look at the people who Ben Shapiro really fast-tracked into stardom and fame in the conservative movement, his media empire really hard-launched the careers of the most vicious anti-Semites in America, which is ironic because, you know, I'm Jewish and, you know, people like to say, oh, the Jews control everything.
00:33:02.000Well, you know, I don't remember Ben Shapiro ever helping me when I got banned everywhere or when I was silenced, when I was deplatformed, when I was debanked.
00:33:10.000That being said, even though I'm not a super Shapiro fan, and I think a lot of the problems that he's experiencing, he created by trying to sideline people that probably would have been allies to him while promoting people who were just trying to use companies created by Jewish people, use Jewish donor money to launch their careers.
00:33:36.000I will say I think that Ben Shapiro probably gave the best speech at Amfest.
00:33:39.000It was probably the most important speech at Amfest.
00:33:43.000Of course, Erica Kirk had a lot to say too.
00:33:46.000I'm talking about people outside of Erica Kirk.
00:33:48.000I think that Ben Shapiro had the best speech because it really addressed the elephants in the room, which is like, when is Turning Point USA going to address the fact that, you know, they are associated with a lot of these people who are spreading conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's assassination, who are trying to spread crazy amounts of Jew hatred and support for Islamic causes in America.
00:34:13.000Of course, I'm talking about Candace Owens and I'm talking about Tucker Carlson and I'm talking about the way that they are trying to mainstream people who have always hated Charlie Kirk or they are trying to mainstream people who are, you know, anti-Trump, people who are promoting hatred and a lot of division within the Republican Party.
00:34:41.000And so Ben Shapiro's speech, of course, was then the focus of criticism from speakers after Ben, like Steve Bannon, who called him a cancer.
00:34:51.000And then, you know, you had Megan Kelly.
00:34:53.000You had Candace Owens respond to him in a very Louis Farrakhan style unhinged rant in which she held up a copy of the Talmudic Jew.
00:35:01.000And I don't know, just really showing her true colors as if, you know, we don't already know what those colors are.
00:35:08.000It's safe to say that Candace Owens is essentially the female Louis Farrakhan at this point.
00:35:13.000Then you saw Megan Kelly saying that, well, she wanted Candace Owens to ask all these questions because she agreed that Candace Owens should ask these questions.
00:35:23.000We got to really see that a lot of these people aren't really for Charlie Kirk.
00:35:27.000They'ren't really for his widow, Erica Kirk.
00:35:30.000They're for being at the center of drama and really getting as much attention as possible.
00:35:35.000Of course, Megan Kelly is one of those people that I'm talking about.
00:35:39.000But then really what all of this, what like the big crescendo of the event and what all of this really led to was then Vice President JD Vance delivering his speech at Amfest.
00:35:51.000And you would think that the Vice President of the United States, and look, I really like JD Vance, don't get me wrong.
00:36:01.000But it is another elephant in the room, right?
00:36:03.000Like he's the one who flew out on Air Force 2 to pick up Charlie Kirk's body and bring it back to Arizona with Erica Kirk.
00:36:11.000And, you know, they talked about how they're very close friends and how Charlie wanted to endorse JD Vance in 2028 and how Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action was going to dedicate all of their resources to helping JD Vance get elected.
00:36:46.000I'm in the middle of filming Lumer Unleashed.
00:36:50.000I was at Turning Point just a couple of weeks before.
00:36:56.000I mean, I've been out in Arizona with some meetings prior to that as well, but I had an actual meeting at Turning Point USA headquarters in August.
00:37:07.000And so this is right before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
00:37:11.000And the purpose of the meeting that I had, and I saw Charlie while I was there, was because Turning Point wanted to talk to people who had been outspoken as it pertains to the threat of Islam in America.
00:37:29.000And also people who had been outspoken against the woke right.
00:37:33.000And so I was like, oh, we got to be like really quiet about this.
00:38:04.000And when I say a right-wing extremism problem, I mean national socialists and leftists LARPing as conservatives trying to poison the well of the conservative movement ahead of 2026 and 2028.
00:38:20.000I don't need to get into it, but we do have a problem.
00:38:23.000And if there wasn't a problem, I wouldn't have been invited to Turning Point to address this issue and to kind of have this powwow discussion about how to address the threat of Islam and conservatives who were sympathizing with the pro-Hamas Palestinian movement and how to address the growing neo-Nazi, literal national socialist faction within the right.
00:38:48.000I say within the right because these people are really leftists.
00:38:50.000They all campaigned against Donald Trump in 2024.
00:38:53.000And now, of course, they're saying that they would rather support Gavin Newsom over whatever candidate we may have.
00:39:00.000Now, I'm sure JD Vance is seeing all of this and it just makes me wonder, like, instead of calling these people out for what they are, you know, it seems like JD Vance has gone the route.
00:39:13.000It doesn't seem like we already saw this weekend that he said he wasn't going to do it.
00:39:16.000It seems like JD Vance has gone the route of not disavowing these fringe figures who were never going to support him.
00:39:26.000They're never going to vote for Trump again.
00:39:28.000They never wanted to vote for Trump in 2024.
00:39:31.000And they now have decided that they would rather these personalities would rather get mainstream media attention.
00:39:38.000Like it matters more to them that they get attention and notoriety in mainstream media.
00:39:43.000And they're willing to have these very unholy alliances with the radical left, with Islamic organizations, with jihadists, with the Intifada Now crowd.
00:39:55.000And so, you know, JD Vance is kind of in the middle of all these different factions.
00:40:01.000And, you know, you have Turning Point USA that is kind of taking a playbook from Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party where they're like, okay, well, you know, we're just going to have a coronation.
00:40:31.000Like we generally have primary elections.
00:40:34.000So conservatives mock the Democrats for having a coronation of Kamala Harris when Joe Biden dropped out and, you know, it was announced that Kamala Harris was going to be the nominee.
00:40:43.000So why is it that we are now having a coronation through a nonprofit organization?
00:40:48.000I mean, nonprofits are not really supposed to be using their nonprofit funds for the sake of, you know, political purposes.
00:40:57.000Now, Turning Point does have Turning Point Action, which is the political part, but Turning Point's a nonprofit.
00:41:02.000So you have a nonprofit organization that is now saying that all of their resources are going to be dedicated to getting JD Vance elected.
00:41:14.000Usually the vice president is the next in line to be the president of the United States.
00:41:19.000However, what's not okay is the lack of moral clarity.
00:41:25.000So when you are president, as President Trump has seen, or when you are vice president, you don't get to just say, oh, this person is my friend and I'm just going to be loyal to this person.
00:41:38.000And I'm not going to, you know, comment on things like, yes, President Trump cares about loyalty.
00:41:54.000While loyalty is very important, if you are the president or the vice president, and let's just say, hypothetically speaking, somebody that you know carries out a mass shooting or somebody that you know is found with a bunch of child porn on their laptop.
00:42:10.000You are not going to be able to say, if this person is like a close advisor to you, you know, I'm a very loyal person.
00:42:20.000If they found a Trevor, like a treasure trove, a massive trove of child pornography on somebody's laptop, they would not, if you were president or vice president, you wouldn't be able to say, oh, you know, this person is my friend.
00:42:33.000I'm just, you know, I'm not in the business of disavowing them.
00:42:36.000You would have to say, of course, I disavow that.
00:42:46.000I think that we should like shoot pedophiles in the head.
00:42:48.000Personally, I think pedophiles should be killed in firing squad.
00:42:52.000You wouldn't, everybody would be outraged if the president or the vice president had a friend or a close advisor who was caught with child porn on their laptop and they were like, you know, I'm not in the business of purity tests and disavowal.
00:43:05.000And so, you know, I'm just not going to do that.
00:43:08.000I'm not going to disavow and we're not going to have a purity test.
00:43:11.000They'd say like, wait, so child porn is a purity test?
00:43:16.000Now, of course, this is a very extreme example.
00:43:19.000And I'm not saying that President Trump or JD Vance have advisors or friends who, you know, have child porn on their laptop.
00:43:26.000But when you are the leader of the party or you're the president or the vice president of America, you have to take positions on things that, you know, sometimes you may not want to have to do, but you have to because you have to be the person that sets the tone for the country.
00:43:42.000You have to set the tone for the conversation that you want to have.
00:43:46.000You have to set the tone for what you want to see happen or the kind of environment or the type of party that you want to see ahead of an election year.
00:44:10.000But at the same time, Ben Shapiro is 100% right about the grifters and the woke right who are trying to destroy our country, destroy President Trump, destroy the Republican Party and usher in Islamism and hardcore Nazism into America.
00:44:47.000We can look at the people who they have had on their shows.
00:44:51.000When you start saying things like, oh, well, maybe we should have let Hitler win World War II, or oh, maybe Hitler really wasn't so bad after all.
00:44:59.000Or Hitler was actually really great and other world leaders should aspire to be like Hitler.
00:45:05.000That is your way of trying to manipulate the minds of people with very formidable opinions, impressionable minds, young people, Zoomers, the audience of TPUSA, to usher in Nazism.
00:45:29.000But we do need to look at history and we do need to apply these historical lessons and realize that history has a tendency to repeat itself.
00:45:39.000So without a doubt, there are people on the right, very popular people, people who have some of the largest podcasts in our country who are using their platforms to usher in Nazism.
00:45:50.000Now, I do believe that the vice president of the United States has a moral obligation to call this out, especially given the fact that not only does Tucker's son work for JD Vance, and I'm not saying that the son needs to be held accountable for his father's sins, but there is this, you know, it's like less than a degree, right?
00:46:11.000It's kind of hard to even say that there's one degree of separation when you have literally Tucker Carlson's son working for the vice president of the United States.
00:46:21.000You clearly have this very close relationship.
00:46:24.000Everybody knows that it was because of Tucker Carlson that JD Vance was able to get into the United States Senate and ultimately get an endorsement from President Trump.
00:46:34.000Otherwise, Josh Mandel, who was leading at the time, would have been the senator from the state of Ohio.
00:46:42.000So that being said, if JD Vance wants to be the president of the United States after President Trump was so gracious to forgive him for his previous history as a never Trumper, right?
00:47:00.000As somebody who also said that Trump was like Hitler, then JD Vance has a moral obligation to call out Tucker Carlson and other individuals who are trying to push these ideas in our country, right?
00:47:21.000And I even said when JD Vance was selected as the vice president nominee that I believe that he had truly come to appreciate President Trump and that like he had shown that he had, you know, stood by President Trump during the 2024 election process and that I thought that he was being genuine.
00:47:47.000I remember tweeting that from the floor of the Republican National Convention.
00:47:51.000So I'm not bashing JD Vance, but what I'm saying is that, you know, he used to use the word Hitler and Nazi when he was describing President Trump.
00:48:01.000We all saw the text messages that were released by, I guess it was like one of his former friends or so that released the text messages that showed that he previously called President Trump Hitler.
00:48:12.000I mean, we could even get it pulled up on the screen here so people can see it.
00:48:17.000So this idea that now JD Vance wants us to think that, oh, you're just like so crazy if you want to use the term Hitler or you want to use like Nazism as a comparison to criticize people that you don't agree with.
00:48:31.000Isn't that exactly what JD Vance did to President Trump before he was elected to the United States Senate?
00:48:38.000Isn't that exactly what JD Vance did that he had to apologize for, right?
00:48:42.000You can scroll up and you can see this headline for yourself.
00:48:45.000Vance wondered whether Trump was America's Hitler, says former roommate sharing a screenshot.
00:48:50.000This was from 2022, not that long ago, three years ago.
00:48:53.000We can scroll down and we can look at those messages.
00:49:02.000He said, I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon, who wouldn't be that bad and might even prove to be useful, or that he's America's Hitler.
00:49:16.000In the tweet, McLaren said the public deserves to know the magnitude of this guy's bad faith.
00:49:22.000And then in a statement, Vance's campaign manager, Jordan Wiggins, dismissed the image as old news.
00:49:27.000It's laughable that the media treats JD not liking Trump six years ago as some sort of breaking news when they've already covered it to death since this race began.
00:49:36.000Clearly, President Trump trusts that JD is a genuine convert, as out of all the Republican candidates running, he endorsed JD and concluded that he is the strongest America first candidate for the race.
00:49:49.000Vance's initial distaste for Trump is well established.
00:49:52.000Trump's endorsement letter even brings up the most, the quote, not so great things that Vance said about him in the past.
00:49:59.000In the screenshot, Vance described his party as, quote, whether we like it or not, the party of lower income, lower education white people and argued that Trump is the fruit of the party's collective neglect.
00:50:11.000Now, clearly, JD Vance still recognizes this, or at least he still feels this way.
00:50:16.000I'm not saying he feels this way about President Trump, but clearly he still thinks that whether we like it or not, it's the party of lower income, lower educated white people.
00:50:27.000Because, you know, growing up in the Rust Belt, this is this is a, this is something, this a real issue that we face in our country.
00:50:35.000And I'm not saying I grew up in the Rust Belt.
00:50:38.000This is a real issue, this issue of anti-white racism and this issue of DEI policies that have maligned traditionally young white men in America who have been told, oh, you know, you're too white to have that job.
00:50:56.000And so as a result, you know, we have seen a coalition of people who do share these very anti-Jewish views.
00:51:06.000They are now, you know, embracing full-blown national socialist Nazi views.
00:51:11.000I'm not saying everybody who feels this way about anti-white racism is embracing these views.
00:51:15.000I myself campaigned on the issue of anti-white racism, but because as JD Vance pointed out, the party's collective neglect, right?
00:51:27.000He said, Trump is the fruit of the party's collective neglect, pointing out the fact that our party for so long did, in fact, neglect people.
00:51:38.000They're still neglecting a lot of white American voters, especially white men, who now have this justified, and you could say, sense of like righteous indignation, pent up anger about how they have been treated as white men in America.
00:51:57.000And it is important that we recognize their concerns.
00:52:00.000And I think the reason why JD Vance has been able to have so much success as a politician and why he is appealing even to these somewhat fringe characters who he's now refusing to disavow.
00:52:15.000And I think it's going to be to the detriment of his own campaign personally.
00:52:19.000And we're going to come to see that in 2028.
00:52:22.000The reason I think that is because JD Vance grew up that way as a young white man who probably experienced discrimination, experienced poverty.
00:52:32.000If you read his book or you watch the film, Hillbilly Elegy, it's a fabulous book and a fabulous film, and it's inspiring.
00:52:39.000I'm not taking any of that away from JD Vance.
00:52:43.000But while we can address the issue of anti-white racism, we should also be able to address the issue of unhinged levels of just Farrakhan style, Hitler-style Jew hatred that so many of these people in our country are now espousing.
00:53:01.000And I don't know if they actually believe this or if it's just pent up frustration and they want to blame Jews for the position that they are in life or blame Jews for these DEI policies or the fact that there is an epidemic of anti-white racism in this country.
00:53:17.000But it would be nice if we had leaders in the GOP that would say, look, you are right to feel aggrieved about being attacked for being a white man.
00:53:30.000And we are going to take initiatives in the Trump administration to address the issue of anti-white discrimination and anti-white racism, which they are doing.
00:53:38.000They are doing that under Harmon Dylan through the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ.
00:53:43.000But at the same time, they should be able to say, you know, mainstreaming Hitler, saying Hitler was cool, saying that World War II, you know, we should have allowed for Hitler and the Germans to win World War II, saying things like Jews aren't really inherently American, saying things like Jews should be deported out of America, calling black people niggers, saying that Indians are jeets, calling Jewish people kikes, you know, stuff like that.
00:54:12.000We should be able to disavow that as well.
00:54:16.000And so it's a little disappointing that JD Vance decided to begin his Amphest speech by saying that he wasn't going to show up with a list of people to disavow because this isn't about, oh, you know, deplatforming people and censoring people.
00:54:31.000We're not saying that they're not allowed to have their podcasts or that they're not allowed to attend events, but we should be able to say that that type of rhetoric has no place in the GOP.
00:54:41.000Like you can say that you're allowed to say it, but it should not have a place within the GOP.
00:54:47.000And that's the problem with this whole big tent narrative is that once you start to allow everybody and anybody and their mother inside the tent, the collective tent of the GOP, you don't actually have an identity anymore.
00:55:00.000You don't have an identity anymore because you allow for all these people who are competing to have a place on top with their identarian politics to the point where you destroy and erode the overall message that brought everybody into this tent to begin with.
00:55:21.000Let's go ahead and play the clip of JD Vance saying that he's not in the business of disavowing and that he didn't show up to Amfest ready to disavow anybody.
00:55:34.000I mean, I think it is time for JD Vance to disavow Tucker Carlson, right?
00:55:38.000I mean, he says that his son, Tucker's son, is or should not be held accountable for his father's sins.
00:55:46.000I'm willing to agree that we shouldn't be attacking children then, even though I don't really think it's that simple.
00:55:55.000I mean, I highly doubt that Buckley Carlson has different views than his father.
00:56:00.000But I mean, I have my own internal sources for knowing that information as well.
00:56:04.000But regardless, without talking about Buckley Carlson and the fact that he works for JD Vance, I think that the closeness, the proximity that JD Vance has to Tucker Carlson is inappropriate.
00:56:16.000And I don't think that it has a place in the GOP.
00:56:19.000And so I think that if JD Vance wants to earn everybody's vote, because we don't do coronations, we do have primary processes here.
00:56:29.000If JD Vance wants to earn everybody's vote for president of the United States, I don't think that it's unrealistic to ask JD Vance to show the moral clarity and to say, yes, you don't have to apologize for being white in America anymore, which is what he said.
00:56:44.000And we're going to play that clip momentarily.
00:56:46.000But also, you don't have to apologize for being white in America, but we're also not going to be a party that demonizes Jewish people and ushers in Sharia law in America.
00:56:56.000And we're not going to be a party that tries to glorify Hitler.
00:57:01.000Why can't we say all of those things at the same time?
00:57:04.000So let's go ahead and play this clip of JD Vance saying that he didn't show up to Turning Point USA to disavow people, which was 100% a nod to people like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes.
00:57:19.000Side of you, I mean all of you, each and every one.
00:57:24.000President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless self-defeating purity tests.
00:57:34.000He says, make America great again because every American is invited.
00:57:46.000We don't care if you're white or black, rich or poor, young or old, rural or urban, controversial or a little bit boring or somewhere in between.
00:58:00.000People of every faith come to our banner because they know that the America First Movement will make their lives better.
00:58:07.000And they also know that the Democrats don't care about anything other than maybe transing their kids.
00:58:16.000So if you love America, if you want all of us to be richer, stronger, safer, and prouder, you have a home on this team.
00:58:33.000I didn't bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to de-platform.
00:58:39.000And I don't really care if some people out there, I'm sure we'll have the fake news media denounce me after this speech.
00:58:46.000But let me just say the best way to honor Charlie is that none of us here should be doing something after Charlie's death that he himself refused to do in life.
01:00:02.000I'm not like one of these, you know, never Trumpers who's going to be like, or Marjorie Trader Green who's going to go lock arms with the Democrats, despite whoever's on the ballot.
01:00:15.000But because I like JD Vance, I'm going to say this is a very manipulative thing that he said on stage at Turning Point USA.
01:00:44.000I mean, I even had some resentment, and I tried to work this out between myself and Turning Point in the last, you know, few weeks before Charlie died.
01:00:51.000But Turning Point was notorious for gatekeeping.
01:00:54.000They would keep a lot of people off the stage.
01:00:57.000They would keep people out of the conferences.
01:01:00.000I mean, how many times did Nick Fuentes show up to Turning Point USA only to have the cops called on him or, you know, Groypers being thrown out?
01:01:10.000We could show the videos to remind people.
01:01:12.000So, no, actually, not everybody was invited to Turning Point USA because there's standards.
01:01:18.000And while I, you know, don't dispute the fact that Nick Fuentes is intelligent when it comes to like a wide variety of issues.
01:01:29.000I also think that he's his own biggest enemy because he is unable to have alliances with anybody before he bites their head off or before he turns on them.
01:01:42.000And I also find him to be his own biggest enemy because even though he may say things sometimes that people agree with, he also says terrible things about Jewish people that really hold him back.
01:01:58.000He probably would be mainstream if he would stop saying, you know, do this, do that, nigger this, nigger that.
01:02:07.000Like when I say mainstream, I'm not saying like mainstream in his popularity.
01:02:11.000Clearly, you know, he has reached that level.
01:02:13.000I'm talking about like being on national television, which is clearly what he wants because he's decided to form alliances and compromise his principles and his values for the sake of getting on left-wing podcasts and forming alliances with leftists.
01:02:30.000Like just a couple of weeks ago, he was saying that he likes illegal aliens, right?
01:02:34.000Like first, he was for mass deportations, and now he's saying that he really likes illegal aliens and that illegal aliens are hard workers.
01:02:57.000I'm not here to just bash Nick, but what I'm saying is that he was kept out of Turning Point because while Turning Point said, okay, everybody has a right to free speech, Charlie wanted to set standards, right?
01:03:08.000And I'm not saying that all of those standards were 100% justified.
01:03:35.000He was actually shot in the throat by a leftist who, you know, kind of ironically was like into this tranny, furry stuff, which is a lot of what some of these Groypers are into as well.
01:03:48.000He wrote Chao Bella on a bullet casing, which ironically is a song that's also on the Groyper playlist.
01:03:55.000And as Ben Shapiro pointed out, and again, I hate to actually be referencing Ben Shapiro because I'm not really a big Shapiro fan.
01:04:02.000Nick said, oh, the reason why there's so many gripers now at Turning Point USA is because Turning Point was your baby and I fucked it.
01:04:11.000I fucked your baby and impregnated it.
01:04:17.000And we're going to play all these clips because it's a logical inconsistency.
01:04:22.000So let's go ahead and play this clip of him being kicked out of Turning Point because, you know, the big divide right now is whether or not Tucker Carlson is going to be a key advisor or continue to be like this overbearing force in JD Vance's life, which he has been since the beginning of his political career.
01:04:44.000And whether or not the vice president of America is going to say, look, you know, I don't agree with you saying we need Sharia law.
01:04:52.000I don't agree with you saying we need to bring more Muslims into America.
01:04:55.000I don't agree with you trying to mainstream people who call my wife a dirty Jeet, right?
01:05:02.000We still haven't even seen a condemnation of this from the Vice President of the United States, who I like and support.
01:05:08.000So let's go ahead and play this clip of Nick getting kicked out of Turning Point so that we can show that JD's statement isn't correct.
01:05:18.000No, not everybody was invited to Turning Point.
01:05:21.000In fact, Turning Point has security cards that escort people out all the time.
01:05:31.000People who were hypercritical of Charlie, people who are openly promoting Nazism, people who are openly pushing for Islam in America.
01:05:41.000I don't really understand why some of these people were allowed to come in.
01:05:45.000But what I do know is that when Charlie Kirk was alive, they definitely gatekept because I wasn't even allowed to speak at Turning Point events.
01:05:52.000And there was this whole thing about, oh, yeah, she's so controversial, which, you know, up until the time that Charlie was assassinated, Turning Point, I think, started to realize that they had wrongfully maligned me and they were trying to rebuild the relationship with me, right?
01:06:06.000And that's why I went out to Turning Point two weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
01:06:10.000So let's go ahead and play this clip because it's just simply not true.
01:06:15.000Not everybody is welcome at Turning Point.
01:06:18.000This is America first, not America first.
01:06:50.000So because he transported Charlie's dead body on Air Force Two, which is commendable.
01:06:55.000Now we're seeing the vice president basically say, well, you know, I knew Charlie.
01:07:01.000You know, I brought his dead body back with his widow to Arizona.
01:07:05.000I know what Charlie would have wanted.
01:07:07.000It's like everybody's reading the mind of a dead man.
01:07:09.000I know what Charlie would have wanted.
01:07:11.000He would have wanted everybody here, even the people saying that Hitler was cool, which is not the case at all.
01:07:18.000So again, what he said is just not true.
01:07:23.000I will say, though, one thing that I did agree with what JD Vance said was that, oh, you know, America, in America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
01:07:40.000In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
01:07:51.000And if you're an Asian, you don't have to talk around your skin color when you're applying for college because we judge people based on who they are, not on ethnicity and things they can't control.
01:08:09.000But at the same time, the messaging is all over the place, right?
01:08:14.000So we were told President Trump didn't build a coalition by, you know, censoring this person or deplatforming this person or doing this or doing that.
01:08:23.000I mean, we have a coalition with set standards.
01:08:29.000President Trump wants to mass deport illegal aliens, right?
01:08:32.000President Trump wants to do a lot of things.
01:08:34.000And this is just the easy way out for JD Vance, who, again, I like, I'm not attacking JD Vance, but I'm just saying this is the easy way out for JD Vance to not have to actually establish a sense of moral clarity.
01:08:49.000Like it's easy for him to just say, oh, well, you know, we're not going to disavow because Charlie wanted everybody here.
01:08:55.000Charlie hated people like Nick Fuentes.
01:09:01.000The day before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, okay, he literally tweeted that Islam was going to be the knife that the radical left slits America's throat with.
01:09:13.000And yet you have like Gripers infiltrating Amphest talking about USS Liberty.
01:09:19.000Then you have Tucker Carlson talking about how we need to have more Muslims in America and how if you criticize Islam, you're a disgusting person.
01:09:28.000So I don't understand like why JD Vance of all people is going to pretend like that's what that's what Charlie Kirk would have wanted.
01:09:36.000It's absolutely not what he would have wanted.
01:09:38.000So again, you know, we have to have standards.
01:09:42.000And what I don't understand is, is, is the vice president now saying that we have to also accept the views of Nick, accept the views of Tucker within our coalition?
01:09:51.000Because if so, what are our standards?
01:09:54.000Well, I want to play the clip of Nick just recently, about two weeks ago, saying that, oh, illegal aliens are fine.
01:10:25.000That is inconsistent with the values promoted by TPUSA.
01:10:30.000Now, given the fact that we also have that tweet that Charlie Kirk posted in which he said that Islam was the knife which the radical left was going to use to slice the throat of America, it is inconsistent,
01:10:45.000not just with the values of TPUSA, not just with the values of the MA movement, but also the values of Charlie Kirk for KD Vance to be pretending like everybody who was up on that stage was saying things that Charlie Kirk wanted or everybody there was saying things because it's what Charlie would have wanted.
01:11:05.000I highly doubt that Charlie Kirk would approve of this idea of a Muslim-Christian alliance.
01:11:10.000So let's go ahead and play this clip of Nick talking about how we need to have a Muslim-Christian alliance, right?
01:11:16.000A Muslim-Christian alliance when Charlie Kirk said that Islam was not good, right?
01:11:22.000We already know that Islam is now the number one issue going into the 2026 midterms, going into 2028 as well.
01:11:30.000But let's go ahead and play this clip because this is not something that Charlie Kirk would have wanted.
01:11:35.000But now his platform and his legacy is being used to push this false concept of a Christian-Muslim alliance.
01:11:42.000Let's go ahead and play the clip thing of what it's actually kind of notable.
01:11:52.000I feel like you and me connecting was the beginning of what people now are calling this like Christian-Muslim alliance against Zionists.
01:12:02.000And I feel like that was kind of the first iteration of it.
01:12:05.000It was when you and I started streaming, or when we first met a couple of years ago on that stream, and you then became a Muslim.
01:12:14.000And then we were talking with Myron, who's also a Muslim on Fresh and Fit about this a year ago.
01:12:19.000Then October 7th happened, and there's this thing on Twitter where Muslims and Christians are speaking out against Israel.
01:12:25.000And lately, I've noticed that a lot of these like Jews and Zionist agents are coming out and trying to split apart the Christians and Muslims by saying, you know, they think there's this alliance, but you know, Muslims are just as bad or something like that, or saying, you know, well, Christians are weak and this sort of thing.
01:12:44.000And I don't think it needs to be more complicated than this.
01:13:28.000We're not in the business of disavowing these ideas.
01:13:30.000It's a big tent, and this is what Charlie would have wanted.
01:13:33.000I mean, you just heard Nick talk about, you know, the Christian-Muslim alliance.
01:13:38.000It seems to be exactly what Tucker Carlson is promoting as well.
01:13:41.000Let's go ahead and play this clip really quick of Tucker Carlson basically berating the entire audience of TPUSA at Amphest saying that, oh, you're disgusting.
01:13:54.000You're absolutely disgusting if you don't want more Muslims in your country.
01:14:12.000So clearly, Nick and Tucker agree on a lot more than they want you to think that they agree on, right?
01:14:18.000They have this like whole little fake feud going on, pretending like, oh, now they don't like each other after they had their little romance on his episode.
01:16:01.000And most people are totally sick of that.
01:16:03.000So, yes, there is a possibility for a huge coalition of decent people once they free their minds from the traps set for them by others and realize, wait a second, we all want to make this country better.
01:16:43.000And you can tell when you go to a place like Abu Dhabi or Riyadh, like, oh man, I hope we don't ever wind up with a society like this with a rape rate of zero where you leave your keys in your Lamborghini and don't ever worry about it being stolen.
01:16:56.000And, you know, if people want to get wasted, they do it at home.
01:17:17.000Sharia is not that different from other legal codes.
01:17:24.000A lot of our own legal code, the Anglo-Saxon common law, Anglo-American common law, derives ultimately from religious authorities.
01:17:38.000And then, of course, how could I forget the clip of Tucker Carlson speaking at Doha Forum two weeks ago saying that he's buying a home in Qatar.
01:17:47.000Let's go ahead and play clip number 23.
01:17:50.000Whatever we are needed to help and to support within that process.
01:18:52.000But look, Tucker, unfortunately, as I told you, that there are a lot of players putting a lot of efforts to sabotage the relationship between Qatar and the United States and to try to demonize anyone who will come to this country.
01:19:12.000Our efforts, when we are lobbying or doing our outreach in the United States, is to make sure that this relationship is safeguarded.
01:19:23.000And the relationship for us is mutually beneficial.
01:19:28.000We are not getting aid from the United States.
01:19:31.000We are instead we are buying from the United States.
01:19:41.000And this relationship has been always a two-way relationship.
01:19:46.000And we pay all these amounts for lobbying only to protect and to safeguard this relationship.
01:19:52.000If we were not being attacked and under a lot of disinformation campaign that's been unfortunately funded by other players who don't want to see a U.S.-Qatar relationship flourish, we would spend this money for better things to do with the relationship.
01:20:17.000Sheikh Mahmoud, thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
01:20:39.000However, how is it that he's going to reconcile his view that America is and always will be a Christian nation with his current mindset that, oh, I'm not going to disavow or put anybody through a purity test who thinks we need to have a Muslim-Christian alliance or people that are promoting Nazism or people who are promoting Sharia law or going around calling black people the N-word or, you know, saying derogatory, very anti-Semitic things about Jewish people.
01:21:10.000Like, how are you going to maintain your Christian country, Mr. Vice President, when one of your closest friends whose son works for you is going around pushing this idea of a Muslim-Christian alliance and is defending Sharia law under which Jews and Christians are murdered?
01:21:31.000How are we going to be a Christian country when your best buddy Tucker Katarlson is going around promoting Qatar, saying, I'm going to give money to Qatar, a country where it is illegal to evangelize as a Christian or a Jew, or even as a Hindu, anything aside from Islam in the country, and you could actually go to jail and be given a death sentence.
01:22:14.000The only thing that has truly served as an anchor of the United States of America is that we have been, and by the grace of God, we always will be a Christian nation.
01:22:54.000Now I want to be explicit because of course the fake news media will twist everything that I say.
01:23:00.000I'm not saying you feel about them the same way I do.
01:23:07.000I'm not saying you have to be a Christian to be an American.
01:23:11.000I'm saying something simpler and truer.
01:23:36.000That creed motivated our understanding of natural law and rights, our sense of duty to one's neighbor, the conviction that the strong must protect the weak, and the belief in individual conscience.
01:23:50.000Even our famously American idea of religious liberty is a Christian concept.
01:23:57.000Because we're all creatures of God, we must respect each individual's pathway to that God.
01:24:05.000But over the last 50 years, there has been a singular focus, a war that has been waged on Christians and Christianity in the United States of America.
01:24:16.000And let me say, of all the wars that Donald Trump has ended, that is the one we're proudest of.
01:24:22.000I agree with everything that the vice president just said.
01:24:31.000I agree that the creed of America has always been Christianity and that, you know, it's Christianity that has created this moral compass for America, this concept of freedom of speech and religious freedom.
01:24:43.000I agree with what he said about America being a Christian nation and that it should always be a Christian nation.
01:24:49.000And I say that as somebody who is Jewish.
01:24:53.000However, we have to point out the logical inconsistency here with JD Vance saying that he is not going to disavow his friend.
01:25:02.000He didn't say, I'm not disavowing Tucker and Nick Fuentes, but we already know the elephant in the room is, oh, is the vice president going to disavow Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson?
01:25:13.000How are you going to say that, you know, we have a war on Christians, not just here in America, but another topic of discussion during Amfest was they brought Nikki Minaj out, who, of course, introduced the vice president, who spoke out about the persecution of Christians, the genocide of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria, something that I have extensively talked about here on my show, Loomer Unleashed.
01:25:36.000Now, if you watch Loomer Unleashed, you know that several weeks ago, I interviewed a guy by the name of Mike Arnold, who runs a school out in Nigeria, does humanitarian work out in Nigeria for the persecuted Christians.
01:25:52.000The topic of that podcast, of course, was the fact that Tucker Katarlson had a lobbyist on who represented the Islamic government of Nigeria, who came on his show and then said that the persecution of Christians in Nigeria isn't really real and that Ted Cruz was making it up to make people want to think poorly about Muslims.
01:26:13.000So you have Nikki Minaj saying that Christians are being persecuted.
01:26:18.000She gets invited on stage, has this whole Q ⁇ A with Erica Kirk talking about the importance of protecting Christianity.
01:26:25.000But then you have JD Vance saying there's a war on Christianity and that it's because of Christianity that we have this concept of religious liberty and religious freedom.
01:26:34.000Well, who is threatening religious freedom and religious, like just freedom of religion in general?
01:26:46.000It's the Muslims who have made Christians the most persecuted people in the Middle East and Christians the most persecuted people in the world.
01:26:54.000So again, while this is all like red meat talking points for the vice president of the United States, like this whole rural Christian nationalism, we're a Christian nation.
01:27:05.000And if you're going to be promoting Christian nationalism and say that you are a fighter for Christian people, then you have to address the elephant in the room, which of course is Islam.
01:27:15.000But we're not going to see the vice president do that because Omin Malik is going to be contributing to Rockbridge, right?
01:27:20.000You have like 1789 group that is going to be contributing and funding JD Vance's presidential campaign.
01:27:32.000Omi Malik went to Doha Forum, went to Doha, went to Qatar, traveled there with Tucker Carlson and Don Jr., the president's son.
01:27:43.000So we're probably not going to see him call any of this out.
01:27:47.000But if you're going to be talking about how you are a fighter for Christianity and oh, we need to protect religious freedom, you have to start disavowing and at least creating some boundaries, a red line, right?
01:27:59.000I talked about this concept of a red line, people not crossing over, a red line.
01:28:12.000This person wants to throw you in an oven and they want to bake you like a batch of cookies because you're just a kike.
01:28:18.000And we don't want to have a bunch of, and excuse my language, we don't want to have a bunch of niggers running around because we don't like black people.
01:28:26.000And Indians are just a bunch of dirty cheats.
01:28:38.000The reason why we elect leaders to be our leaders is because we want people who are going to be able to lead and actually create a sense of prosperity and a sense of ethics and morality in our country so that we don't spin downward into total anarchy.
01:28:55.000So, yeah, I think it's really important that we hold our leaders accountable and we don't say things like, oh, well, we're not going to, you know, we're going to tolerate somebody saying on the stage of Ampes, Charlie never would have wanted us to call this out.
01:29:10.000No, Charlie absolutely called out Jew hate.
01:29:29.000So that's my advice to Vice President Vance, who again, I like and I support, but I'm growing very concerned as we head into the midterms and we head into 2028 because I want the Republicans to win in 2026.
01:29:42.000I want the Republicans to win in 2028.
01:29:46.000I don't want to see an era of weaponized government where we have the federal government and the DOJ and the IRS weaponized against conservatives like we saw Turing Obama and Biden.
01:29:59.000But that's what's going to happen if the GOP decides to be a party of Jew haters, Holocaust deniers, and people who go around flippantly using the N-word and just demeaning people, demeaning people based off the color of their skin and promoting vile hatred.
01:30:18.000I don't like going around calling people racist.
01:30:20.000And I used to mock people that said, oh, you know, Trump, Trump is creating a party full of a bunch of racists and a bunch of Nazis.
01:30:28.000No, I don't think that Trump is doing that.
01:30:29.000Trump managed these coalitions very well, which is why he won reelection because he appealed to the black community.
01:30:35.000You think that black people are going to vote for Republicans if the people who are being mainstreamed by the biggest podcasters who are aligning themselves with the vice president of the United States are going around calling black people the N-word?
01:30:55.000And because we unfortunately had an invasion in our country and there are over 65 million illegal aliens living among us and over 55 million foreigners, according to Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who might be in violation of their visas, that's over 100 million foreigners in our country.
01:32:20.000I watch who be able to vote for JD Vance, but I also want to know that if I vote for JD Vance as a Jewish American conservative, as somebody who helped him and President Trump get elected, that his coalition of people aren't going to end up weaponizing the government against me or demonizing me or targeting me or accusing me of not being an American because I'm not his advisors or his friends' idea, perfect idea of what their perfect little American is.
01:32:53.000Before we move on, speaking of weaponized government, to my next topic of discussion tonight about some ongoing issues as it relates to the vetting crisis, the ongoing vetting crisis in the administration due to a lack of firings and multiple agencies, but also to just a continuation because of the scope of the federal government.
01:33:17.000We're going to get into a topic of weaponized government tonight and how it could potentially impact you or somebody that you may know via the IRS.
01:33:28.000I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
01:34:52.000Dr. Kirk Elliott and his amazing team has put together this form, as you know, as longtime viewers of Loomer Unleash for the viewers of Loomer Unleash so that they can have a very swift and easy process investing in their precious metals.
01:35:05.000You want to find out how you can invest in silver and gold today?
01:35:10.000In fact, this morning, as I was getting ready for my show and I was checking the news, I saw multiple stories today about how gold has yet again hit an all-time high.
01:35:20.000I think that this is like the fifth story of the year with gold hitting an all-time high.
01:35:24.000Let's go ahead and get this pulled up on the screen here.
01:35:27.000Gold price hits a record high of $4,383.76 per ounce.
01:35:33.000And that's right in line with what Dr. Kirk Elliott said when he came on my show a couple of weeks ago.
01:35:38.000He said that as there continues to be instability in the world with global conflicts, a shaky economy, again, not the fault of President Trump, who inherited a broken economy, but it's just, it is what it is.
01:35:51.000You know, it's not a great economy because it's a recovering economy.
01:35:55.000And we're hoping that we can get to that point.
01:35:57.000However, in the meantime, the dollar may not have stability long term.
01:36:01.000We don't know what's going to happen four years from now.
01:36:05.000You know, in the previous segment, I was talking about the messaging crisis within the GOP.
01:36:09.000The GOP might lose everything in 2026 and 2028, and we might go back to having a terrible economy like we saw with the Biden regime.
01:36:18.000And if that happens, gold has proven itself to be a reliable asset over time.
01:36:23.000And so you don't want to find yourself in a situation where all of your financial wealth is dissolved or that it's significantly reduced.
01:36:31.000You want to have an asset that is going to be proven and tested over time, which is why gold and silver is a great option, and which is why you should call.
01:36:41.000Contact Dr. Kirk Elliott, Kirk Elliott, Precious Metals today.
01:36:48.000Again, that's 720-605-3900 or use the special landing page for Loomer Unleash viewers, KEPM.com/slash Loomer and find out how you can invest in gold and silver today.
01:37:01.000It's expected to possibly reach up to $5,000 per ounce.
01:37:05.000That's gold by the end of the year, and it's only going to go up.
01:37:09.000You don't want to be one of these people who's sitting here a year from now saying, man, I was watching Loomer Unleashed when gold was at $4,300 per ounce and now it's at $10,000 per ounce.
01:37:19.000I should have, I should have bought it then because that's what a lot of people do.
01:37:23.000They think, oh, well, you know, I'm going to buy when it hits a low.
01:37:44.000Now, if you've been following me on X and reading my reports, you know that one of my favorite discussions, topics of discussions, is the vetting crisis in the administration.
01:37:56.000The vetting crisis in the Trump administration as it pertains to personnel.
01:38:00.000Because as I like to say, personnel is policy.
01:38:05.000And while President Trump campaigned on his America First Vision, America First Policies, one of the big things that he campaigned on in real time, which wasn't just an empty promise, you know, we actually got to see him put his money where his mouth was because he was actively being persecuted and they were trying to throw him in jail and take him off the ballot.
01:38:26.000And they were trying to say that he was fraudulently overvaluing the properties, like his properties, if you recall, right?
01:38:35.000Whether it be his Westchester properties or Mar-a-Lago.
01:38:39.000Remember when Tish James and all of the crooks in the New York legal system tried falsely accusing President Trump of overvaluing Mar-a-Lago and they said that Mar-a-Lago, which is worth over a billion dollars, not just because it's an amazing property in Palm Beach, but it's also historical and it has historic interest being the home of the president of the United States.
01:39:01.000And it also just is located on the water in Palm Beach, which happens to be one of the 33480, one of the most expensive zip codes in America.
01:39:13.000You see the way that government has been used to attack and demonize and also bankrupt conservatives.
01:39:23.000And one of the ways that this was done too, prior to President Trump assuming office his first term and also during the 2024 presidential election season where we saw the IRS weaponize against President Trump, we saw the courts weaponize against President Trump was during the age of Barack Hussein Obama when under Obama and his IRS chief Lois Lerner, they were using the IRS to weaponize policies against conservatives,
01:39:52.000to spy on conservative charities, as you know, to try to take away the nonprofit status of a lot of conservative organizations to harm high-profile and large family offices run by conservatives,
01:40:06.000family foundations run by conservatives, and also just to put a target on the back and intimidate and scare conservative donors so that they wouldn't want to support conservative causes like pro-life causes or socially conservative causes that you could see here in 2017, the IRS apologized for aggressive scrutiny of conservative groups.
01:40:38.000And I want to show you an article that I have on my website.
01:40:40.000If you haven't seen this, you may not have seen this because, well, every single day it's like drinking from a firehouse as it pertains to all the news that's coming out of our government and the Trump administration.
01:40:51.000Every day, it's another massive story, another big policy change.
01:41:10.000As new leadership prepares to take over the IRS, the federal government is quietly sitting on one of the largest pools of immediately collectible revenue in modern history.
01:41:19.000Not because Congress failed to act or because taxpayers can't pay, but because the IRS has deliberately refused to resolve its own backlog of roughly 700 syndicated conservation easement cases clogging the U.S. tax court.
01:41:33.000Many of these cases have stalled for five to 10 years.
01:41:36.000Some are tied to charitable donations made more than a decade ago.
01:41:40.000Combined with other frozen tax controversies, these cases represent an estimated $125 billion to $200 billion in asserted deficiencies, penalties, and interest.
01:41:53.000That money could begin flowing to the treasury almost immediately.
01:41:56.000Instead, it's being warehoused by deep state holdovers from the Obama-Biden era.
01:42:03.000Now, of course, this is not an accident.
01:42:05.000As I said before, this whole process of weaponized government using the IRS as a tool to target people was the result of an Obama-era enforcement philosophy that replaced revenue collection with ideological punishment and it never got rolled back.
01:42:20.000So even after the first Trump administration, it never got rolled back.
01:42:23.000This is one of the last things that Barack Hussein Obama did before he left office as a way to screw conservatives on the way out.
01:42:34.000For decades, the IRS operated on a basic principle, settle complex disputes efficiently, collect enforceable revenue, and move on.
01:42:41.000From the Reagan years through Obama's first term, the agency routinely resolved high-stakes cases through appeals, global settlements, and issue-based resolutions, and brought in real money without paralyzing the courts.
01:42:54.000That system has since been dismantled.
01:42:57.000Over the last decade, the IRS adopted a scorched earth posture, especially in the area of conservation easement cases, asserting zero-dollar seductions, automatic 40% penalties, and years of compounded interest, daring taxpayers to fight.
01:43:13.000Now, of course, as you saw in the aftermath of J6 or, you know, there's been a lot of high-profile cases with weaponized government.
01:43:20.000Anytime you go up against the federal government, it's like a losing battle because everyday citizens do not have unlimited resources to fight in court while the federal government has a blank check.
01:43:31.000And we're going to talk to my guest about that soon.
01:43:37.000The IRS claims it's offered settlement initiatives, but in reality, right, they were all engineered and designed to fail.
01:43:45.000The economic terms were often irrational.
01:43:48.000The administrative conditions, such as requiring unanimous partner consent and layered partnership structures, ensured that few cases could actually be resolved, which is why you have over 700 of these cases currently unresolved.
01:44:03.000These are not good faith efforts to collect revenue.
01:44:06.000Instead, they were traps meant to preserve an ideological enforcement posture at the expense of efficiency, fairness, and the treasury itself.
01:44:17.000Again, I've talked about this extensively, the federal government being hollowed out by unaccountable bureaucrats who sabotage efficiency while pretending to defend the system.
01:44:29.000And now, this case with the IRS and these conservation easements, it's a perfect example.
01:44:37.000While Americans are told that the government needs more money, the agency responsible for collecting it is actively blocking hundreds of billions of dollars in recoverable revenue because settling cases would require admitting that Obama-era policies failed and that they were used to target conservatives.
01:44:57.000Now, joining me to discuss this problem and how the Trump administration could resolve it with the swipe of a pen is Robert Ramsey, the president of the Partnership for Conservation.
01:45:09.000Robert, thank you so much for joining me.
01:45:11.000It's a pleasure to have you on Loomer Unleashed.
01:45:21.000So why do you think that this is still an ongoing issue?
01:45:24.000I mean, look, this is, we had Obama's term end in 2016, and then we saw the first Trump term, and now we're in the second Trump term after a disastrous four years with Joe Biden.
01:45:34.000Why is it that this issue has been prolonged throughout two additional presidential administrations and hasn't been addressed when everybody knows it was a tool of weaponization by the IRS?
01:45:47.000I think you said it best at the top of this segment.
01:45:52.000And a number of the IRS employees that were involved in the Lois Learner issue remained at the IRS and were in fact involved in this particular issue as well.
01:46:03.000So you've got a, you know, in 2016, you had the Obama administration issue a listing notice at the same time that we started to see the candidate and nominee Trump being attacked for these types of donations.
01:46:21.000And that weaponization against the candidate turned into sort of an institutional approach.
01:46:28.000And you've got individuals and partnerships across the country that are battling with The IRS over conservation easements or development rights that they've perpetually donated or permanently donated for their land.
01:46:45.000How do you think that, how do you think, like given the situation that exists and the fact that there's so much evidence of weaponization and it happened to President Trump himself, as I highlighted earlier, when we saw this ridiculous case that got national attention as it pertained to his Westchester properties and his Mar-a-Lago property down in Palm Beach?
01:47:06.000How do you think the Trump administration could not just resolve this issue quickly, but also use it as a teachable moment for the American people to further reinforce their anti-weaponization of government agenda?
01:47:20.000I think it's really important because we haven't really seen thus far, to the disappointment of many people, a lot of crackdowns on weaponized government.
01:47:28.000I mean, we were told that President Trump was going to address weaponized government, and I do believe that he will.
01:47:35.000But from the DOJ to the IRS, even through my own investigative reports, pointing out how many of these Obama-era officials still remain there, one, they still haven't been fired, right?
01:47:46.000They haven't cleared house at the IRS.
01:47:48.000They haven't cleaned house at the FBI.
01:47:49.000They haven't cleaned house at the DOJ.
01:47:52.000What's the quickest way that the president can fix this crisis, but then also, as I said before, teach the American people a lesson in weaponized government?
01:48:04.000Well, I think number one, Laura, you said it best.
01:48:07.000I mean, people who break the law, whether you work for the government or outside of the government, need to be held accountable.
01:48:13.000And we've seen a number of examples here with conservation easements and some of the other types of transactions that you mentioned earlier, where we've seen IRS admitted IRS employees commit crimes that if they were regular citizens and did the same activity, they would likely end up in jail.
01:48:31.000And then number two, we've got to remember that the people who participated in these partnerships are Main Street Americans.
01:48:38.000These are small restaurateurs, other small business owners who chose to participate in conservation easements through partnerships because that was really the way that they were allowed to do so.
01:48:50.000So finding a resolution or instructing the IRS to proceed with a resolution that would move these people beyond that weaponization and that scrutiny and allow them to go on with their lives doesn't require an act of Congress.
01:49:04.000It doesn't require any precedential acts.
01:49:09.000Really, it's a matter of the IRS doing the right thing for this tens of thousands of Americans that are out there.
01:49:19.000Maybe you can walk us through the process of the litigation in front of the tax court, because as I said before, it's a losing battle.
01:49:26.000And a lot of people would kind of ask this rhetorical question.
01:49:29.000Well, why is it that the government, they're constantly saying that they want to unlock cash?
01:49:33.000Why is it that they're blocking over $200 billion in revenue when it could be unlocked?
01:49:40.000And why is it that instead of just coming to some kind of a settlement agreement, which the settlement system has now been broken as a result of Barack Hussein Obama's policies on the way out, I think that was done in an effort to create chaos for the incoming administration, knowing that maybe it was so in the weeds that people wouldn't have noticed it or people wouldn't have really taken much of an effort to address it?
01:50:07.000How devastating is this process to a family that finds themselves in this situation?
01:50:15.000Maybe you can give us some examples so that people can understand just the human and emotional level of this weaponized government or this action of weaponized government from the IRS.
01:50:28.000Well, you know, at first, you know, if you're considering donating land, and remember that this is incentivized in the tax code with a tax deduction, well, then you work with a number of professionals to help make sure that you work through that process, lengthy process, and comply with the statute.
01:50:45.000So you spent time and money, significant time and money to achieve that, only to find out that the IRS is going to value your easement at zero.
01:50:53.000It's not about an individual review of your particular easement.
01:50:57.000It's a determined outcome for all conservation easements.
01:51:01.000So you receive a notice from the IRS telling you that your easement has been deemed as having no value, not a diminished value, but no value.
01:51:10.000And then the only option that you're left with is to sue the IRS to keep your donation.
01:51:16.000You then go to the tax court, which is largely made up of former treasury officials and officials from the IRS, many of whom have actually prosecuted conservation easement cases in prior lives, where the courts seem to favor the government's witnesses and information and really discounting the witnesses of taxpayers and defendants.
01:51:39.000Once the tax court finds against you, you're left with either paying the taxes back, the penalty and the interest, or pursuing an appeal at the appellate court level, which is where an awful lot of people find themselves today.
01:51:53.000So, Laura, this process is not only demoralizing because you worked hard to follow the law to your level best, but the process becomes the punishment because most Americans really can't afford to defend themselves against a government that has decided that a war of attrition is how they're going to pursue these.
01:52:14.000And it's my understanding, too, that the individual at the IRS who has the authority to fix this or should be at least making a proactive effort to address this issue is Ken Keyes, right?
01:52:25.000Ken Keyes, who I've recently exposed, who, you know, isn't exactly, I would say, not exactly doing his job to clean house at the IRS.
01:52:34.000I mean, I've exposed numerous officials at the IRS tied to Lois Lerner, engaged in, you know, weaponized government, people who have ties to the radical left, who probably aren't really ideologically inclined to implement President Trump's agenda, and yet we haven't seen him take action on this.
01:52:51.000So can you explain, you know, what do you know about that?
01:52:55.000Like what are you aware of any efforts that Ken Keyes himself has taken to block reform as it pertains to this conservation easement?
01:53:06.000I guess you could say it's like a bro, it's a broken system.
01:53:10.000I mean, has he taken any effort to resolve this broken system or do you think that he is blocking it based off of ideological grounds?
01:53:17.000Because as I have previously exposed, even though he served as the personal attorney for the, this is kind of ironic, this is the ironic part about it, right?
01:53:26.000He served as the personal attorney for the Trump organization, and yet he donated to the Democrat members of Congress that subpoenaed the IRS to get access to President Trump's personal tax returns.
01:53:39.000And in addition to that, he donated to Democrats who supported the impeachment of President Trump.
01:53:45.000And now, you know, as a counsel for the IRS, he's supposed to be overseeing this process.
01:53:52.000So do you think that this is just another example of ideologically leftist bureaucrats blocking policies that are not just going to benefit our country and not just benefit people just on the basis of ethics and principle, right?
01:54:10.000Undoing this Obama-era policy that has been so destructive, but also end a form of targeted weaponized government.
01:54:42.000The IRS, as you know, Laura, had put forward a couple of settlement proposals.
01:54:47.000One was punitive in terms of the financial terms.
01:54:50.000The other was better, but it was designed with a poison pill so that it just wouldn't work.
01:54:56.000It was impossible for a partnership to come together and participate.
01:55:01.000And from what I understand, there's been no significant movement to change that internally.
01:55:07.000So I'm sorry for the taxpayers that continue under the yoke of the IRS to say that it doesn't appear that, at least at the moment, there's something new coming in terms of that resolution or the ending of the weaponization.
01:55:25.000And then, as I mentioned in the article, historically, the IRS has used tools like the Independent Office of Appeals and also global settlements to resolve these complex cases quickly.
01:55:36.000And the article, of course, my article focused on how this happened all the way from the Reagan administration until the Obama administration.
01:55:45.000What led, aside from Obama, of course, making this decision in the last few days before the transition of power, what led to the dismantling of these efficient systems, in your opinion?
01:55:59.000These systems, meaning these easements, or I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you, Laura.
01:56:03.000The systems for resolution for the complex cases.
01:56:06.000Yeah, I think clearly it was a weaponization.
01:56:08.000I mean, at least in the case of conservation easements, we've seen quotes from successive commissioners talking about pursuing at all costs.
01:56:19.000I think clearly during the Biden administration, there was this focus on white-collar crimes, which led to an intensification across the IRS focusing on the business community at large, I would say.
01:56:34.000It was a clear choice to move away from a policy that had worked for the IRS that helped taxpayers substantially comply with the law and at the same time provide reasonable resolution so that both the government and individuals could move on with their lives and precious resources weren't wasted on chasing some ideological win, if you will.
01:57:06.000And then, you know, we talked a lot about how the settlement process has severely not only been changed, but damaged to the point where there's this backlog of over 700 cases that are, it's putting a lot of stress on the tax court system.
01:57:22.000And so given the fact that a revised settlement program could potentially unlock up to $200 billion in revenue within two fiscal years without any congressional action, no need for any legislation as we discussed, what would a program like this look like and how could it be implemented and why has it not been implemented in your opinion?
01:57:47.000So the idea of a global or universal settlement is something that the IRS has a great practice and has executed time and time again over the years.
01:57:59.000Oftentimes, Laura, the terms of those settlements are really the difference between whether taxpayers will choose to accept a settlement or choose to fight the IRS.
01:58:10.000And of course, you go through a cost analysis.
01:58:12.000If I continue to fight, what do I need to do to achieve a win, so on and so forth.
01:58:18.000And the terms have been so punitive that it's really hard for people unless they're absolutely just desperate to accept those terms for settlement.
01:58:31.000I can't tell you why that ideology remains.
01:58:36.000I wish I could, but there's clear punitive attitude within the IRS towards small business owners, taxpayers, people who participate in conservation easements.
01:58:50.000And it's certainly got to change because most of these folks that I know are out there working hard, doing what they can to promote the economy, to continue to have a growing economy, and are just really suffering under the yoke of the IRS.
01:59:07.000And that largely has to do with the fact that there is a personnel issue.
01:59:13.000And I've done a lot of investigative reporting over the last few months since the beginning of the second Trump administration, highlighting, I mean, I just am looking at all the examples in my phone right now.
01:59:24.000I save all of them in a file in my phone, right?
01:59:26.000Like I have a little vetting crisis folder in my phone to reference all of it, going back, like reminding myself of all of the different lowest learner holdovers, the Obama holdovers, the Biden holdovers, who are in key positions.
01:59:40.000I'm not talking about low-level positions.
01:59:42.000Some of the most important positions at the IRS that handle the implementation of tax policy, tax code, issues that pertain to the president's memorandums and his order, his September 25th memorandum, asking the IRS to investigate the funding sources of a lot of these C3 organizations that are funding and promoting political violence in America.
02:00:08.000We haven't seen any of these groups have any of their C3, right, the nonprofit tax deductible statuses revoked.
02:00:15.000And yet what we have seen is a continuation of abusive policies, Obama-era policies, shockingly, still implemented under the Trump administration as a result of poor IRS leadership.
02:00:31.000And so I think that it's safe to say that new and improved leadership under the Trump administration at the IRS could not just restore efficient processes, but also it could help dismantle these kind of stone age bureaucratic processes that you and I now are harping on and complaining about.
02:00:54.000And everybody should be complaining about it because it may not affect you today, but it could affect you tomorrow.
02:01:02.000And it's also just this ongoing epidemic, in my opinion, that we see even with a new presidency and the drastic, you know, the drastic difference between Joe Biden and Obama's vision for America and Trump's vision of America.
02:01:17.000These bad actors, there's so many of them, these deep state holdovers are still so entrenched within the administration.
02:01:53.000So I have to believe that it's coming.
02:01:55.000What I do know that as it relates to this issue that we're discussing, the president's really the only one that can have an impact for taxpayers on this issue.
02:02:07.000I think you would have to make clear to the IRS what's expected and what needs to happen.
02:02:14.000And I wish it weren't so, but I just think that's where we find ourselves today.
02:02:19.000So, 2026 hopefully is a year of a reformed IRS.
02:02:25.000You mentioned that President Trump is the only person who could take action on this, but actually, you know, you have Scott Besant who could, he's currently overseeing the IRS until they have, he's the acting IRS commissioner, until they find somebody else to be the new acting IRS commissioner.
02:02:43.000So, I would say that Trump really isn't the only person that could take action on this.
02:02:46.000It's Scott Bessant, but also it's Ken Keyes, right?
02:02:50.000This is an issue about people not doing jobs that they were given.
02:02:55.000And this is why it's important for the Trump administration to not have officials, especially cabinet secretaries, overseeing multiple jobs, right?
02:03:05.000Like you see this with Marco Rubio, he has like four or five jobs, right?
02:03:10.000We've been told for months now that we're going to have a new acting IRS commissioner to help oversee these issues and that there were going to be shake-ups within the IRS council's office, and yet we haven't seen that.
02:03:23.000And so I think that a lot of things, whether it's deliberate sabotage and it's deliberate weaponized government, or it's just people being overworked because they have multiple jobs and you're supposed to have a treasury secretary who isn't the IRS commissioner, right?
02:03:37.000Like they're supposed to be separate positions.
02:03:39.000Whatever it is, there definitely needs to be steps taken by whoever is going to be the next IRS commissioner to address that issue.
02:03:48.000So in closing, I guess we've already addressed the issue, but whether it's Scott Besson listening to this, President Trump, or whoever is going to be the next IRS commissioner, hopefully we have one within 20, you know, 2026.
02:04:03.000What steps specifically, if you could lay out, I don't know, three to five steps that the next incoming IRS commissioner could take to address this issue, what would it be?
02:04:16.000So first, what I would encourage, because of the suffering that people are really incurring right now, is there have been a number of proposals sent to Treasury, sent to the IRS that build on the proposals that we've seen previously from the IRS.
02:04:34.000This Treasury or the IRS could design a settlement based on those that would clear the docket by 70 to 80 percent.
02:04:43.000That'd be a very sort of easy way to reduce the docket, provide a lot of relief for people.
02:04:48.000Beyond that, it's clear to me, Laura, that a purposeful review of the IRS and of specific functions within the IRS has to occur.
02:05:01.000A policy, a new policy, or not a new policy, but a new attitude from the IRS that reverts back to one of more substantial compliance, helping American taxpayers comply with the tax code rather than catching them in gotcha situations and then pursuing them with lawfare would be a great start.
02:05:20.000Robert, is there anything else that you wanted to add or tell the viewers as it pertains to this issue?
02:05:26.000Anything else you want people to know?
02:05:27.000I know you're an expert in the field of conservation policy, but before we wrap up, is there anything you want to do?
02:05:44.000So if we hunt or fish or if we enjoy nature for different reasons, the Americans that have donated these conservation easements are heroes and they should really be treated as such.
02:06:10.000And would you say that most of the people who are being targeted out of all the 700 backlogged cases right now, I mean, I'm sure that there are some people who are not necessarily, you know, Republican or so, but it seems to be one of those issues, as it always seems to be the case at the IRS, where majority of the people affected happen to be conservative in their ideology.
02:06:32.000I would say not only are a majority of them conservative, but a majority of them are Trump supporters.
02:06:38.000So this isn't just an issue that, you know, while it may affect people on both sides of the political aisle, it was a policy that was specifically targeted to hurt conservatives, especially conservatives who have the financial means to potentially support conservative political causes or conservative social causes, or as you said, the conservation of America, the preservation of our parks and land.
02:07:04.000And of course, we know that what Obama wanted to fundamentally transform America and fundamentally transforming America includes destroying America's heritage and reducing the level of conservation.
02:07:20.000We could talk about this for hours on end, as you know, Robert, but it's important for people to know that while there may be some Democrats affected by this, it's mostly conservatives.
02:07:31.000And in no world whatsoever should the policies of targeted, you know, weaponized government at the IRS against conservatives specifically, against anybody in general, but specifically against conservatives.
02:08:12.000But this should not be happening under a Trump administration.
02:08:15.000So hopefully the Trump administration will see this and they will take the appropriate steps to not just implement or install a new IRS commissioner so that Scott Besant isn't wearing multiple hats, but somebody who's actually going to direct Ken Keyes and the IRS council's office to resolve this for the many Americans who are suffering at the hands of a weaponized IRS.
02:08:46.000Well, Robert, where do people follow you if they want to learn more about your work or they want to see and learn more and read more about conservation policy?
02:08:55.000So partnershipforconservation.org, the website is being updated and refreshed.
02:09:58.000The whole government is infested, which is why the work that I do Exposing the vetting crisis and vetting people and looking into all these holdovers and encouraging them to be fired, which is why it's so important.
02:10:58.000Enable notifications on your phone so that you're always notified when I go live.
02:11:03.000Like the episode, comment on the episode.
02:11:05.000Be sure you're following me on X at Laura Loomer and also on X at Loomer Unleashed.
02:11:11.000I want to go back to the previous topic, the topic of the AmFest drama and also the intellectual inconsistencies.
02:11:30.000the kind of like clashing sentiments and etiologies, and the clash and messaging that we saw come out of Turning Point USA over the weekend.
02:11:42.000If you've been watching my show or following me for years, you know that I've been saying that going into the 2026 midterms and the 2028 elections, the topic of Islam and the Islamification of America is going to be the most important issue on the ballot.
02:11:58.000It is going to be the most important issue on the ballot.
02:12:03.000Well, because not only is our country being Islamified and we have so many people who are in the administration taking trips to Qatar, turning a blind eye to the Islamic takeover of America, turning a blind eye to the rising wave of anti-Semitism, anti-white, anti-white, anti-Christian sentiment happening in America and all over the world, turning a blind eye to the fact that in Europe they had to cancel all of the holiday markets and the Christmas markets because Muslims kept on plowing their cars into markets.
02:12:33.000Before doing my show today, I got a news notification that said that there was another ramming today in the Netherlands.
02:12:57.000Oh, but here's another story though, too.
02:12:58.000Germany's Christmas markets grapple with soaring security costs.
02:13:02.000So they have to actually, whether it's the Netherlands, whether it's Germany, whether it's Paris, all across Europe, they're having to actually cancel their Christmas markets.
02:13:15.000People are going to be celebrating Christmas this Thursday.
02:13:19.000And they have to worry now that when they go out with their families to go see Christmas trees or Christmas lights or go to Christmas parades or Christmas markets.
02:13:26.000I don't, I don't celebrate Christmas, but I love Christmas.
02:13:52.000I like going out and just seeing how pretty everything looks with the lights during Christmas.
02:13:57.000And so it's really sad that because of the enormous Muslim population in places like Germany and the UK and France, they have to actually cancel their Christmas parades and their Christmas markets because it's going to cost millions of dollars to have increased security and to install all of these vehicle-proof,
02:14:18.000vehicular jihad-proof vehicles, like these giant tanks that they have to put in front of these Christmas markets, which then takes away from the natural beauty of the European architecture and the Christmas Christmas lights and the markets and the music and everything that comes along with Christmas.
02:14:40.000Because they have to worry about Muslims committing acts of vehicular jihad or going on stabbing sprees or going on shooting sprees like we saw in Australia.
02:14:52.000She talked about this at Amfest over the weekend.
02:14:55.000We have the clip in which she said, and she tweeted this too.
02:14:59.000She tweeted this too last week, in which she said that Europe is already gone.
02:15:04.000Australia is gone, but the United States still has an opportunity to save themselves.
02:15:09.000We still have an opportunity here in the United States to save ourselves from an Islamic takeover.
02:15:20.000And I posted Tulsi Gabbard's speech, and I think that we should just go ahead and watch it in its entirety because, again, it goes to show you just the messaging is not adding up at Turning Point USA.
02:15:40.000But, you know, if you're going to say that America is a Christian country and you're going to fight to protect Christianity, you have to call out Islam.
02:15:49.000You can't be not like calling out Islam because all of your friends and the donors to Rockbridge are going to Qatar and making all these deals with Arabs, with rich Arabs, you know?
02:16:02.000You can't be holding your tongue about the threat of Islam and Sharia law because your buddy Tucker Carlson wants everybody to now embrace Muslims and embrace Islam.
02:16:15.000You can't say that we're a Christian country and then not call out the fact that all these little gripers who are creating so much division in our country are now saying that we need to have a Christian-Muslim alliance when Islam calls for infidels, an infidel is a non-Muslim, to be killed, to be subjugated and killed, convert or die.
02:16:37.000And so, you know, when we talk about, oh, you know, Donald Trump didn't build this coalition like JD Vance said, he says, he says that Trump didn't win by putting his supporters through a purity test.
02:17:02.000Side of you, I mean all of you, each and every one.
02:17:06.000President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless self-defeating purity tests.
02:17:16.000He says, make America great again because every American is invited.
02:17:28.000We don't care if you're white or black, rich or poor, young or old, rural or urban, controversial or a little bit boring or somewhere in between.
02:17:42.000People of every faith come to our banner because they know that the America First Movement will make their lives better.
02:17:50.000And they also know that the Democrats don't care about anything other than maybe transing their kids.
02:17:58.000So if you love America, if you want all of us to be richer, stronger, safer, and prouder, you have a home on this team.
02:18:16.000I didn't bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to de-platform.
02:18:21.000And I don't really care if some people out there, I'm sure we'll have the fake news media, denounce me after this speech.
02:18:28.000But let me just say the best way to honor Charlie is that none of us here should be doing something after Charlie's death that he himself refused to do in life.
02:19:01.000And no, actually, we don't just get to say that everybody, regardless of how controversial you are or where you come from or what you do, is invited in our party.
02:19:44.000People aren't just tuning in to actually hear how ridiculous the statements are coming out of the mouths of some of these people, how shocking it is because everybody likes watching a train wreck, right?
02:20:01.000Being popular doesn't necessarily mean you're right.
02:20:06.000Again, I have to point out the VP's previous statements because it just shows how inconsistent his views on this topic really are.
02:20:18.000He was texting his former friends, roommates, whatever you want to call it, before he was elected to the United States Senate saying that he thought that President Trump's popularity was problematic because he's like the Republican Party's Hitler.
02:20:37.000He recognized in his mind, he said that, oh, just because Trump is popular doesn't necessarily mean he's right.
02:20:46.000Now, I never said that Trump was Hitler.
02:20:49.000I never said that Trump's popularity wasn't well deserved.
02:20:52.000But JD Vance was at a time willing to talk this way privately about Donald Trump and compare him to Hitler.
02:20:59.000But now all of a sudden, right, we are ridiculous.
02:21:06.000We're violating Charlie Kirk's legacy if we want to have standards and say, if you glorify actual Nazism, I'm not talking about this brain-dead nonsense of, oh, you know, we're going to say that Trump is Hitler.
02:21:18.000I'm talking about people that actually go like this.
02:21:22.000People who actually Zeke Heil, people who actually Zeke Heil and say that Hitler was cool and people who say that we need to throw all Jews in a gas chamber and that they're like a bunch of cookies and we have to bake them.
02:21:38.000So it's just kind of interesting to me that JD Vance had no problem talking this way prior to becoming a senator and prior to becoming vice president and, you know, using historical analogies, particularly as it pertains to Nazism, to usher in criticisms of Donald Trump, who he said was like Hitler, but then he won't say the same thing about people who are now actually saying, wow, Hitler's so base.
02:22:04.000Who don't even like Trump, by the way.
02:22:07.000I'm not saying we have to deplatform people or silence people or take away their ability to have free speech, but let's stop pretending like these people have a place in the GOP.
02:22:18.000They even said themselves they hate Republicans, they hate Trump, and that they now find themselves aligning more with the left.
02:22:24.000I mean, you had these Groypers literally attending Zoran Momdami's election party, celebrating him while wearing an America first hat.
02:22:31.000How is open borders, taxing white people more money based off the color of their skin, ushering in Sharia law, saying that we're not a Christian country?
02:23:55.000Then how are people supposed to know what they're voting for at the ballot box in 2026 and 2028?
02:24:01.000So I'm just asking for JD Vance to use the same moral clarity that, you know, he's used against others in the past.
02:24:11.000He used his own perception of his own internal moral clarity against Donald Trump by falsely accusing Donald Trump of being a Nazi in the past.
02:24:21.000So why is it that now when we're dealing with people who are actually espousing real opinions of Nazism and Islamism, which are pretty much one in the same when it comes down to it, there's a reason why the Grand Mufti united with Hitler and why they had meetings during the time of World War II to talk about their policies of the final solution.
02:24:46.000I would like to see him use that same scrutiny that he once applied to Donald Trump, but to these nefarious actors, particularly his close friend, Tucker Carlson, who is trying to conquer and divide the GOP.
02:25:09.000Because I'm not going to unite with people.
02:25:12.000You know, we saw Jack Poseobic actually, who is very close to the vice president.
02:25:17.000Let's go ahead and play flip number three, Jack Pisobic.
02:25:19.000And this was the message of JD Vance and Jack Poseobic and other people at Turning Point Two, who realized like they use the stage at Amfest to create like a coronation for JD Vance.
02:25:29.000Like we're doing exactly what the Democrats did for Kamala Harris that we mock them for.
02:25:33.000We're saying, okay, there's not going to be a primary election, you guys.
02:25:37.000We're just having a coronation, which is why, you know, they also called the ball earlier this year the coronation ball, right?
02:25:47.000The coronation ball, because a lot of these people believe in this dark enlightenment theory.
02:25:54.000Remember, I talked about this previously on my show, this theory of dark enlightenment, where they believe that the best form of government is like a monarchy.
02:26:06.000And so we don't have a monarchy in America, but we can simulate a monarchy by having a coronation and getting rid of the entire primary process, right?
02:26:54.000Don't come into Amfest and tell us that we shouldn't be platforming people that say Hitler was really cool here at Amfest.
02:27:03.000Or don't tell us that we're hypocrites because we say that we're a Christian nation, but we let Tucker Carlson proselytize and engage in dawah for Islam.
02:27:14.000Or how about this is the United States of America and the GOP is going to lose if they don't have some moral clarity and they don't draw a line in the sand and say, no, we're not going to win elections by saying Heil Hitler, fuck the Jews and the niggers and the kikes and the spics.
02:27:36.000I've said nigger more in the last year than I don't even know, not because I actually want to say nigger, but because I have to say it to remind people of how jarring it is and that these are the viewpoints of the people that are now being mainstreamed by some of the most popular podcasters on the right who just happen to be best friends with the people who want to be the next in charge, next in line in our government.
02:28:06.000But no, like Charlie didn't support that.
02:28:08.000Charlie Kirk would shoot down these conspiracy theories about the USS Liberty during his events when people would confront him.
02:28:17.000He would shoot down these people who were so-called Talmudic scholars when they would come to his event and just read something they read on the internet.
02:28:26.000You can watch video and video and video of this over and over again.
02:28:31.000What you have here are people who are now trying to not just monetize Charlie's death, but also trying to redefine what it means to be a conservative, what it means to be MAGA, what it means to be America first, because they see Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA is as a big financial vehicle to not just promote themselves, but to also get the next president of the United States elected and to also, you know,
02:28:58.000try to redefine and do what they always wanted to do when Charlie was alive, but he never allowed them to do because he didn't actually believe in this.
02:29:06.000He didn't actually believe in these things that these people are saying he believed in.
02:30:07.000Are people who call black people nigger welcome here?
02:30:10.000Are people who say Indians are dirty jeets welcome here?
02:30:13.000Are we going to obsessively talk about the USS Liberty instead of talking about which races we want to win, which races we want to address?
02:30:26.000And you see that even people who grew up with JD Vance or people who went to school with JD Vance who knew him before he became a United States senator agree that we have a problem here?
02:30:37.000And so now it seems like JD Vance is even at odds with his own former classmates at Yale, like Vivek Ramaswame, who he literally named his son after.
02:30:47.000Let's go ahead and play clip number 28.
02:30:53.000If you believe in normalizing hatred towards any ethnic group, toward whites, towards blacks, towards Hispanics, towards Jews, towards Indians, you have no place in the future of the conservative movement.
02:31:14.000If you believe, and you will forgive me for giving you an exact quote from our online commentator Nick Fuentes, if you believe that Hitler was pretty fucking cool, you have no place in the future of the conservative movement.
02:31:26.000You can debate foreign-named Israel all you want.
02:31:29.000That's fair, but you have no place with that level of hatred.
02:31:32.000You can debate the right resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war, but if you believe Joseph Stalin is someone to look up to, you have no place in the future of the conservative movement.
02:31:42.000If you call Usha Vance, the second lady of the United States of America, a jeet, you have no place in the future of the conservative movement.
02:31:56.000And if you can't say those things without stuttering, then you have no place as a leader at any level in the conservative movement either.
02:32:08.000So I agree with everything that Vivek just said.
02:32:11.000I don't really understand why it's such a controversial thing or such a controversial policy to take, a controversial position to take.
02:32:19.000It should be very easy for Vice President JD Vance, who wants to run for president of the United States, to say these things.
02:32:26.000Like, why would he have an issue with his good friend from Yale, from Yale Law School, Vivek Ramaswame, who he literally named his son after?
02:32:41.000Why would he have an issue agreeing with his good old friend Vivek Ramaswame from Ohio, who's now running for governor of the state of Ohio?
02:32:53.000Doesn't he agree that we shouldn't be supporting people or welcoming people into the tent who call Usha Vance a dirty Jeet?
02:33:01.000Don't we, doesn't he agree that we shouldn't be welcoming people into the tent who call his children mud children?
02:33:08.000It's kind of bizarre how Vivek can say this.
02:33:12.000And again, I'm not attacking the vice president, but I do find it to be very bizarre that we can hear this very clear message from Vivek Ramaswamy, but we can't hear the same clear message from the vice president of the United States.
02:33:24.000Like, why can't JD Vance say, yeah, you know, I agree with everything that Vivek said and then say it in his own way?
02:33:32.000Why does he have to say, well, I didn't come here today with a list of people that I'm going to disavow or deplatform?
02:33:37.000Nobody asks you to deplatform anybody.
02:33:46.000And when you're a leader, you have to sometimes set a moral standard.
02:33:51.000And if we don't set a moral standard, then we're no different than the left that is practicing abortion on demand and communism and celebrating assassination culture.
02:34:00.000opening up our country and our borders to criminal illegal aliens and fentanyl.
02:34:05.000We're no better than those people if we're not going to have a sense of moral clarity.
02:34:24.000I swear to God, I had a meeting with JD Vance.
02:34:26.000I really like JD Vance and all of my public statements will back that up.
02:34:31.000But I'm getting very concerned that as his close friend, Tucker Carlson, whose son is literally employed in the office of the vice president at the White House, I'm getting very, very concerned that as Tucker Carlson goes around calling for Jewish Trump supporters to have FBI files opened on them, which is what he said about me to the Washington Post, as he goes around saying that he's going to go buy property in Doha Qatar,
02:34:56.000as he goes around saying that Qatar is a great place for Christians to live, all while knowing that they jail Christians and Jews in Qatar and they even punish it, punish proselytizing anything other than Islam and Qatar by death.
02:35:09.000I'm getting very concerned about his promotion of World War II revisionism and Holocaust denial.
02:35:16.000I'm getting very concerned about his denial of the persecution and the genocide of Christians in Nigeria.
02:35:40.000Deeply concerned about Lee, but he's all of a sudden, kind of out of nowhere, deeply concerned about the play of Christians in Nigeria, which I want to restate.
02:35:47.000Maybe a totally concerned, I don't know.
02:35:51.000All of a sudden, everybody's concerned about people who clearly have no track record being interested in Christians at all, including Ted Cruz.
02:36:20.000Like, how far is Tucker going to be able to take this before the vice president who wants to be president steps in and says, you know, no, I don't agree with this.
02:36:29.000No, this isn't what we stand for as a party.
02:36:32.000It's very dangerous and it's going to make people think that they are not going to be able to vote with their moral conscience.
02:36:39.000When they say vote with your moral conscious, they're not going to be able to vote Republican in 2028.
02:36:44.000And so if I didn't like JD Vance, I wouldn't be saying any of this because I would say, I don't care.
02:36:50.000I'm not going to say anything about this.
02:36:53.000I like JD Vance and I care about JD Vance and I would like to see Republicans win, which is why I'm sounding the alarm about this and encouraging JD Vance to really distance himself from Tucker Katarlson and to be more forward in his speaking like the Vaik Ramaswame in condemning his good friend,
02:37:13.000Vivek, who he named his son after, in condemning this growing cancer in the Republican Party before it's too late, before it's too late and we lose our entire country.

02:39:46.000Dr. Kirk Elliott explained on my show the last time he was on Loomer Unleashed that it is expected to reach up to $5,000 per ounce by the end of the year or by the beginning of the year.
02:40:30.000Gold prices soared above $4,400 on Monday to reach a new all-time high as analysts pointed to rising geopolitical tensions and softer monetary policy as key drivers of the surge.
02:40:42.000The price of the precious metal traded at $4,475 per ounce at 4 p.m. Eastern after hitting a high of $4,477 per ounce earlier in the day.
02:40:53.000The asset has risen more than 70% since the start of this year.
02:40:57.000Gold is viewed as a safe haven investment and typically acts as a hedge against inflation.
02:41:07.000Silver prices were also rallying on Monday, reaching $69 by 4 p.m. Eastern.
02:41:13.000The metal is up 130% since the start of the year.
02:41:17.000So if you were to have invested in precious metals and gold at the beginning of the year through Loomer Unleashed and Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, you would have seen a 70% increase in your investment.
02:41:33.000If you would have invested in silver at the beginning of the year, you would have seen a 130% increase in your initial investment into silver.
02:41:42.000So what is stopping you from starting your new year off with more financial prosperity?
02:41:48.000Be sure that you contact Dr. Kirk Elliott.
02:41:51.000One of the best things that you can do, I know everybody has their new year's resolutions is to invest in your financial future.
02:41:58.000A lot of people have personal resolutions, whether it's getting fit, losing weight, working on their relationship, buying a house, or improving their personal finances.
02:42:08.000This is one way that you can truly improve your personal financial situation and hedge against inflation and also hedge against an inevitable crashing US dollar.
