For the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump and his campaign team have made a calculated push to make significant inroads into voting groups usually claimed by Democrats and third party candidates. Seizing on Joe Biden s historic unpopularity, the Trump camp sees a golden opportunity to engineer a landslide in November and bring many new voters to the Republican Party permanently.
00:23:23.000For the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump and his campaign team have made a calculated push to make significant inroads into voting groups usually claimed by Democrats and third-party candidates.
00:23:35.000Seizing on Joe Biden's historic unpopularity, the Trump camp sees a golden opportunity to engineer a landslide in November and bring many new voters to the Republican Party permanently.
00:23:45.000This idea of having a Big Tent MAGA movement is not a new one.
00:23:50.000Trump forged a massive coalition of voters back in 2016, all from scratch.
00:23:54.000That grassroots movement, the energy it created, and the base it constructed allowed him to upset Crooked Hillary nearly eight years ago.
00:24:03.000In 2020, the Trump team attempted to expand the base by appealing to minority voters, particularly in the black community.
00:24:09.000In doing so, the Trump campaign made two critical errors.
00:24:12.000Firstly, they failed to provide enough red meat to their base.
00:24:15.000Much like the country's demographics at large, the MAGA movement primarily consists of white middle-class voters.
00:24:21.000Many were less than ecstatic with the rhetoric coming out of the campaign in 2020, which seemed watered down compared to the original run in 2016.
00:24:30.000The second key mistake, though, was the way in which the campaign reached out to minorities.
00:24:34.000Instead of leveling with them, the Trump team chose a strategy of pandering to these communities.
00:24:40.000This cheapened the earnest, common-sense policies of Trump's America First ideology, and many people noticed that Trump was being held back from being Trump.
00:24:50.000Many voters undoubtedly saw through all of this, and they were not enticed.
00:24:54.000However, things have changed, and now in 2024, it seems that the Trump campaign has learned its lesson.
00:25:01.000Over the past few weeks, Donald Trump has been very busy making his case to anyone who will listen.
00:25:06.000Last week, he held a rally in the middle of the Bronx, New York.
00:25:09.000As we all know, that is not exactly friendly territory to Donald Trump, or any Republican for that matter.
00:25:15.000Yet, in spite of that, Trump's rally drew a raucous crowd of over 25,000 people, all of whom were avid supporters who flocked to Kratona Park.
00:25:25.000Many of the attendees were African American and Hispanic.
00:25:28.000Who showed up not because they were being pandered to, but because they believe in MAGA policies, they love Trump's larger-than-life personality, and they see through the decades of lies and false promises sold to them by the Democrat Party.
00:25:40.000This rally ended up being a major success, to the point that some New York Democrats are actually concerned that New York may be a closed contest this fall.
00:25:49.000Donald Trump's campaign has said New York and New Jersey are in play.
00:25:53.000Ex-New York Governor David Patterson, who's a Democrat, called the rally a wake-up call and proclaimed that Donald Trump is within striking distance of actually winning the state of New York.
00:26:04.000The fact that New York, a longtime liberal bastion that hasn't gone red in 40 years, is actually being considered in play is a testament
00:26:12.000To just how disastrous Joe Biden really is and how effective Donald Trump has been at energizing his base while simultaneously adding to it by just being himself.
00:26:30.000But not every Trump campaign outreach program has been so effective.
00:26:34.000You see, on Saturday evening, President Trump attended the Libertarian Party's National Convention with the hopes of garnering a chunk of their vote this election cycle.
00:26:42.000There, he found a rather tough crowd that wasn't particularly joyful when he took the stage to deliver his speech.
00:26:49.000Yet, to President Trump's credit, he stuck to his guns.
00:26:52.000He did not pander, nor did he cut corners to try to make his message more appealing to the room.
00:26:57.000Instead, Donald Trump gave the Libertarians some tough love, telling them that you will only vote for me if you want to win, and if you want to lose, don't do that.
00:27:06.000Keep getting your 3% every four years.
00:27:10.000Now, if you know anything about the Libertarian Party or third parties in general, then you'll understand how true President Trump's comment really is.
00:27:18.000You see, America has operated under a two-party system for over a century, and there are few signs of that changing anytime soon.
00:27:25.000These third parties are based around niche issues, whether that be the environment or minimizing the government's role in our society as it relates to specific social issues.
00:27:35.000In any case, these third parties lack the broad appeal, the fundraising ability, and the voting base to hold a candle to the larger two parties, for better or for worse.
00:27:44.000It doesn't help that these parties are often led by highly unrelatable and eccentric personalities who do more harm than good for the causes they claim to champion.
00:27:52.000Yet this does not stop the Libertarians from attempting year after year to play spoiler in the presidential election.
00:27:59.000There is a scenario, however, where no candidate for president earns the necessary 270 electoral college votes needed to become president, forcing what is called a contingent election.
00:28:09.000This could happen, really could happen, if a third party candidate were to somehow net a significant number of electors.
00:28:37.000Some of the recent all-stars for the Libertarian Party were Gary Johnson, you know, the stoner who had never heard of Aleppo, even in the middle of the Syrian Civil War.
00:28:45.000And Joe Jurgensen, best described as the open borders grandma of the Libertarian Party.
00:28:51.000This year though, however, the Libertarians have really outdone themselves.
00:28:54.000At their convention on Saturday, believe it or not, they nominated a freak show by the name of Chase Oliver, a flaming homosexual who despises Donald Trump and supports BLM, the trans movement, and vaccines.
00:29:07.000Oliver is frequently described as being armed and gay.
00:29:10.000Ooh, wow, he's so, you know, out of the box, right?
00:29:14.000And also, he likes to call himself a pro-choice libertarian.
00:29:18.000He also thinks that advocating for grooming policies, like telling kids to call him mommy if their parents don't agree with them being trans and gay, and also saying that trans kids are libertarian, yeah, he thinks that that's acceptable libertarian policy, too.
00:29:35.000Back in 2012, this character, Chase Oliver, was actively campaigning and fundraising for Barack Hussein Obama, whose presidency devastated the social and cultural fabric of our nation.
00:29:46.000Worse still, this libertarian was happily cheering on President Trump's deplatforming from social media just two days after January 6 and even publicly called for the 25th Amendment to be used against Donald Trump to remove him from office.
00:30:01.000I'm not exactly sure what part of banning free speech is libertarian.
00:30:04.000I guess Oliver only cares about free speech when he's posting gay and queer images online advocating for trans kids in what many would call borderline pedophilic behavior or even groomer behavior or when he's rallying in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:30:20.000Is this really the best guy that the libertarians have to offer?
00:30:23.000You mean to tell me that they chose this freak show over Donald Trump?
00:30:30.000Would they really rather vote for a gay liberal who is totally fine with killing babies and gagging presidents than the candidate who wants to clean out the deep state, deregulate DC, and reignite the economy?
00:30:40.000No wonder why these people struggle to get 3% in the elections every single presidential election season.
00:30:46.000What a joke of a party the Libertarian has become.
00:30:49.000I mean, I guess no one should be surprised, right?
00:30:51.000This is the same crew that almost nominated Vermin Supreme in 2020.
00:32:08.000We have a really exciting show for you tonight.
00:32:10.000I'm sure that it's going to really cause some backlash.
00:32:13.000I don't care though, because everything I'm going to tell you tonight needs to be said.
00:32:17.000And a lot of people don't want to talk about this, but we're going to do something different tonight.
00:32:21.000Something we have done on the show in the past.
00:32:24.000We did this when I was exposing Judge Ingoran.
00:32:27.000We're going to go through the live social media accounts of Chase Oliver live on the show tonight, and I'm going to show you in real time some of the stuff that I'm finding out about this guy who has been nominated to be the official presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party.
00:32:42.000We're still gathering tons of information.
00:32:44.000The Libertarian Party is in absolute meltdown mode.
00:32:47.000Over the weekend, you may have seen on Saturday that President Trump
00:32:50.000I don't really feel like they deserved to get President Donald Trump at their convention because they just were incredibly disrespectful.
00:33:15.000They were making motions on the floor before Donald Trump spoke to say, oh, I would like to make an official motion to tell Donald Trump to go fuck himself.
00:33:39.000This is a guy that's running as a third-party candidate, and as I outlined in my monologue tonight, his whole purpose for running isn't to even win.
00:33:48.000In fact, all of these candidates know that they can't win.
00:33:51.000And if you saw the reporting from Loomer Unleashed this weekend, we sent our DC correspondent, the amazing Charles Downs, who was in attendance this weekend at the Libertarian Convention and, you know, got some of the great video that went viral online that's causing these people to meltdown.
00:34:08.000You know, we caught them on camera advocating and putting up signs and like holographic banners that said things like, oh, stop 270, prevent Joe Biden and Trump from winning 270.
00:34:22.000That means then that you would have a contingent election.
00:34:26.000And as is outlined in the United States Constitution, that would mean that the United States Congress would then select our president.
00:34:34.000And no, they would not be deciding between the people on the ballot, so it would not be between Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Chase Oliver, or Bobby Kennedy.
00:35:17.000Radical leftist anarchist who really doesn't even seem to support the Constitution or whether they want to save America and vote for Donald Trump.
00:35:25.000So joining me now is the host of Wake Up America, Austin Peterson.
00:35:30.000Thank you so much for joining me, Austin.
00:36:39.000He compared public nudity at Pride parades to, oh, it's just like Mardi Gras.
00:36:47.000And so I think that that obviously is a disqualifying view when it comes to his politics.
00:36:53.000But, you know, I think actually, Laura, you're looking at this sort of the wrong way, because you should be happy that the Libertarian Party has nominated this guy, because this is going to help Donald Trump get re-elected.
00:37:05.000Libertarians who don't stand for drag queen story hours and who can't tolerate pride parades with naked adult people out in public around kids, they're not going to vote for this Chase Oliver character, but that means that Donald Trump is now the only right-wing candidate
00:37:49.000I saw that Bobby Kennedy's PAC, American Values, went crazy on me on X and they said that, you know, that I was lying about the reception that President Trump received because I pointed out the fact that he
00:38:02.000Walked on stage to getting booed by the audience and then I said by the end of his speech he was being cheered, which is true because he actually said that he would commit to pardoning Ross Ulbricht on day one of his administration.
00:38:14.000And a lot of the people, it's a fact, it's really big.
00:38:18.000And even though Bobby Kennedy likes to call himself, you know, a candidate who appeals to libertarians, he did not mention Ross Ulbricht once during his speech.
00:38:26.000And then of course his campaign and the PAC were rushing after President Trump's
00:38:50.000The Libertarian Party and you know she said well generally I respect activists but I don't respect Laura Loomer because you know Loomer Unleashed caught her on camera at the convention saying and these are her words if you're a Trump supporter you need to get out of the front row and it got so hostile they even threatened to use security to remove Trump supporters who waited in line just as much as other people did to see President Trump speak at the convention.
00:39:14.000And it just seems a little aggressive to threaten Trump supporters with removal by security.
00:39:19.000They even threatened the Loomer Unleashed correspondent and said, we are going to remove you, physically remove you, not just remove you.
00:39:26.000They said physically remove you if you don't give up your seat.
00:39:30.000Well, Laura, you know what they say, the Libertarian Party, it's like, you know, even if you win a gold medal in the Special Olympics, you're still retarded.
00:39:37.000So at the end of the day, I think Trump was actually being quite kind when he said, if you want to win, come with me or keep your 3%.
00:39:46.0003% was the high watermark for the Libertarian Party.
00:39:54.000As a matter of fact, if you look back in history, the last time that the Libertarian Party got fourth place in the national election was in 1992 when Ross Perot got 18 percent.
00:40:05.000In the 2020 election, Joe Jorgensen, the LP candidate, only got 1 to 1.5 percent.
00:40:10.000So, I mean, it was kind of... Donald Trump was there on a mission of mercy.
00:40:14.000He was there trying to save them from themselves and say, hey, listen, the boat's going down.
00:40:30.000Donald Trump actually gave you guys the time of day.
00:40:32.000You know, the complaint is, is, oh, why would we support the two-party system when the two-party system doesn't even recognize that there's a fraction of American voters that don't support the two-party system?
00:40:43.000Isn't Donald Trump the embodiment of what it means to say fuck you to the establishment?
00:40:48.000Isn't Donald Trump the embodiment of what it means to break up the establishment two-party system?
00:40:53.000I mean, this is a guy who has literally been taking bullets for the last eight years of his life from the deep state, from the Republican establishment, and from the Democrat Party as a whole.
00:41:04.000He's the first candidate ever in my lifetime
00:41:07.000To make the word uniparty a household name for everyday Americans who now understand it doesn't matter whether you're Republican or Democrat, all parties are working against the American people.
00:41:19.000Donald Trump offered the Libertarian Party a golden ticket.
00:41:23.000Not only did he say he wanted to free Ross, he said that he would put Libertarians in a cabinet-level position, which I don't know where they're going to find somebody that's qualified enough as a Libertarian who could actually fill that role, or get through the Senate hearings that would be necessary in order to get across the finish line.
00:41:37.000That's a pretty dang tall order in itself, but still, he said that he would do it.
00:41:41.000He said that the White House, the Oval Office, would be open to Libertarians.
00:41:44.000He said that he would actually put Libertarians on commissions for presidential pardons.
00:41:49.000This is a massive potential victory for people who believe in the principles of economic freedom and personal liberty like myself.
00:41:55.000Laurie, you and I go back, you and I go back a very long time.
00:42:22.000And too many people, I think, they look at the Libertarian Party and they think that just supporting that party itself means that you support Libertarian bona fides.
00:42:36.000And probably one of the most unspoken things in all this, Laura, which your listeners might actually find very interesting in this,
00:42:43.000For the libertarians here in the United States who are big fans of what's happening down in Argentina, who do you think, as President of the United States, is going to be a better friend to Javier Mele of Argentina?
00:42:53.000Do you think Joe Biden and the Democrats want to see Javier Mele of Argentina be successful in advancing Austrian economic principles?
00:43:01.000I'll tell you, Laura, as somebody who's interviewed dozens of Argentines surrounding Javier Mele, they all want Donald Trump to be elected.
00:43:09.000Javier Malay wants Donald Trump to be elected.
00:43:12.000He showed up to when he I think he visited the United States a couple months ago and there's a video of him literally kissing Donald Trump like not on the lips of course but he grabbed Donald Trump's face and you can see Secret Service getting really crazy about it.
00:43:27.000Maybe we even have the photo we can pull up here on screen.
00:43:31.000He grabbed Donald Trump's face and kissed him and he said make
00:43:34.000In his accent, make Argentina great again.
00:43:39.000So, I mean, he literally is trying to be... He called himself the Donald Trump of Argentina.
00:43:45.000Geert Wilders, okay, calls himself the Donald Trump of the Netherlands, okay?
00:43:49.000All of these populist nationalist candidates that are getting elected across the world are replicating their campaigns and their identities and the personalities that they convey to the voting populace as Donald Trump replicas.
00:44:39.000And we're going to need more allies than just the libertarians here in the United States, which frankly, of course, we all know is pretty small potatoes.
00:44:46.000I think Donald Trump was actually, you know, pretty kind in going and speaking to them and offering them what he offered them.
00:45:14.000Through, through the deep state, through the globalists, through the international cabal of socialists, who want to take away our rights and our God-given freedoms.
00:45:22.000That is the biggest reason to vote for Donald Trump, because people say, oh I can't trust Trump, or I don't know if he'll actually live up to that.
00:45:44.000Libertarians and Donald Trump have the same enemies, which means that if Donald Trump has to drive a freight train through his enemies in order to survive for himself, he's doing you a big damn favor.
00:45:54.000It wasn't the Libertarians that defeated the neocons.
00:45:58.000It wasn't the Libertarians that defeated George Bush.
00:46:00.000It wasn't the Libertarians who defeated John McCain.
00:46:19.000Angela McArdle posted earlier today that, you know, the party was freaking out, understandably so, and that ultimately the Libertarians were going to need to make a choice this election season about whether or not they were going to
00:46:35.000You know, want positions in the White House or whether or not they were going to, uh, you know, carry on business as usual.
00:46:42.000Can we please get that up on the screen?
00:46:46.000Well, in the meantime, while they're getting that pulled up, um, you know, it just seems like the Libertarian Party, Austin, is devolving into absolute chaos.
00:46:55.000You have, uh, Karen Ann Harlos, as well, who is apparently the secretary.
00:46:59.000Another thing I wanted to talk to you about.
00:47:01.000The secretary of the National Libertarian Party National Convention, as well,
00:47:05.000Saying today, if you are now alleging voting for Trump because you don't like Oliver, you are not in the party for thick and thin.
00:47:12.000And that's fine, but that's not how third-party movements survive.
00:47:16.000I am sticking around to carry on our legacy.
00:47:18.000I'm a party person and never, ever hid that.
00:47:21.000I mean, that seems to be on par to me with Joe Biden's comments to blacks when he said, oh, if you don't vote for me and you're black, you're not really black.
00:47:32.000Karen has a good heart, I know her, but she's putting her party above country, and I'll just say that there are a lot of good people in the Libertarian Party who mean well and are doing their best to try and... and they fight against the Uniparty, just like Donald Trump talks about, you know, but the thing is, is like you said earlier, Donald Trump really is sort of a third party, and for those who don't remember, he was a part of the Reform Party back in the day before that fell apart.
00:47:57.000He is as close to a third-party candidate that you're going to get in the 2024 elections.
00:48:28.000The thing is, the reality of politics, and I've been in a long time, Laura, just as long as you have, is that every once in a while you got to take some losses, right?
00:48:35.000But after a while, you've got to recognize that if you cannot get your principles across the line with the tactics that you have been using,
00:48:42.000Keep your principles, but change your tactics.
00:48:47.000I've been notching up some wins here in the state of Missouri.
00:48:50.000More Republicans here in the state of Missouri are calling themselves Liberty Republicans or Libertarian Republicans, are proudly and openly supporting people like Vivek Ramaswamy and Donald Trump.
00:49:00.000I think that the problem is that people don't recognize that you can have outsider movements even inside of the two main political parties.
00:49:11.000I actually think that Donald Trump is going to win the election this fall, minus any potential cheating that could potentially happen.
00:49:18.000But if it's at least somewhat, something of a fair election, I think Donald Trump is going to win.
00:49:22.000Not only because of the minorities that are exiting the Democratic Party in droves,
00:49:26.000You know, Hispanics and blacks that are tired of Joe Biden.
00:49:31.000I saw he was trying to take away the menthol cigarettes from the black community the other day and he had to walk that back because of how terrified he is of all of the men.
00:49:38.000I mean, Scott Adams described the Democratic Party as the party of women and the men who are scared of women.
00:49:47.000In 1968, when Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic presidential candidate, he got blown out in the 1968 election, in large part because the progressive anti-war left protested the Chicago Convention, and they could not stand the war policies, the Vietnam War policies of Lyndon Baines Johnson, which Hubert Humphrey identified himself with.
00:50:31.000Yeah, I want to get some of these posts up.
00:50:33.000We have some of these posts from Chase Oliver, actually.
00:50:35.000We have so many of them, so we're just going to pull them up on the screen.
00:50:59.000I have people going through the archives as well of his old Facebook post, going back so that people can see just genuinely how deranged all of his positions are.
00:51:08.000I mean, there's one here that says, should the government continue to fund Planned Parenthood?
00:51:13.000He says, yes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save
00:51:17.000Many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals.
00:51:21.000So, he still wants the government to fund Planned Parenthood, which is a leftist position.
00:51:25.000I mean, this guy is not really a conservative, and I would say that, you know, most of these I'm looking right now, while I do this live on air, so hopefully you can stick around for a while, because I want to get your reaction, because I find you, Austin, to be one of the more common sense members of the Libertarian Party, which makes sense since you're, you know, leading the charge right now.
00:51:45.000Let's get these photos up in the chat.
00:52:20.000We have one of him engaging in really weird kind of like rumor signaling behavior at Disney World.
00:52:27.000Let's get the photo of him at Disney World on camera as well.
00:52:33.000Let's see, we have that, we're getting that pulled up right now where he's at Disney World posing in Disney gear while wearing rainbow ears.
00:52:43.000Let's see, we have, if you look on my Twitter,
00:52:47.000If you go to my X account and you can see I just posted these photos as well.
00:52:51.000Let's go to my X. Let's pull the X up and people can see what we posted right before we went live.
00:52:59.000Chase, for Liberty, the Libertarian candidate for president is a groomer.
00:53:04.000He posted pics saying that if minors' parents don't accept them for being gay.
00:53:07.000I don't know if you can see this, Austin.
00:53:37.000We have another 2021 Facebook post from Chase Oliver that says, if your parents aren't accepting of your identity, I'm your mom now.
00:53:47.000And it says, hashtag free mom hugs or dads.
00:53:50.000I mean, that's really, people would say that's groomer behavior, and I would even go as far as saying that is borderline pedophile behavior.
00:53:57.000I mean, telling kids to put the hashtag free mom hugs or free dad hugs, and if you're gay or trans, call me mommy or daddy.
00:54:07.000As a libertarian, this is the guy that the Libertarian Party just nominated as their presidential candidate.
00:54:13.000Well, listen, I'm not a social conservative, and I believe that a consenting adult should be allowed to do as they please, provided they harm no one else.
00:54:19.000In Missouri, we like to say, you know, so long as it doesn't spook the horses, it's fine.
00:54:27.000You might not remember this, some of your listeners might, but in 2016, when I ran for president as a libertarian, I famously was booed at the convention when I said that there should be laws that protect children.
00:54:38.000You should not be allowed to sell heroin to a five-year-old.
00:54:58.000For those who might be curious about the long-sorted history of the what-of-the-child-consents-though branch of the libertarian movement, look up the name Brad Spangler from New Hampshire who's doing time in a federal prison now for what he did to his underage child.
00:55:15.000And I will tell you that there are people who want to sell the heroin to the five-year-old.
00:55:21.000Going to the Drag Queen Story Hour and putting the underage minor up on stage and putting dollar bills in their pants is perfectly normal behavior and should not be allowed or punishable by law.
00:55:31.000There is a problem in the liberty movement of people who do not understand liberty and license and who think that they should be allowed to do anything to anyone that they want and they do not understand what true harm is.
00:55:45.000They have a problem when it comes to the question
00:55:48.000And I'll just, without getting too deep into the weeds of libertarian philosophy, I think it really does boil down to the problem of what we call the non-aggression principle.
00:55:57.000And this is why a lot of libertarians hate me, because I think for myself, and I don't necessarily buy into the orthodoxy, I always consider myself to be a heterodox person, meaning that I will consider different strains of thought within my own, you know, general broad thought pattern.
00:56:13.000But why I never considered myself to be an anarchist is because when it comes to the non-aggression principle, Murray Rothbard, who is the father of the anarcho-capitalist movement, said explicitly in his book, Ethics of Liberty, that while a parent, if they decide to allow their child to starve to death, it is morally wrong for a parent to allow their child to starve to death.
00:56:36.000But no one should be forced, by law or otherwise, to have to feed their child
00:56:43.000Because that would be an initiation of force, and because the initiation of force is the foundational principle of the non-aggression principle, Murray Rothbard said, it's immoral to starve your kids to death, but it should not be illegal.
00:56:55.000And that was the moment when I read that and I said, alright, I'm out.
00:57:00.000And I found Robert Nozick and minarchism and limited government, which is what I absolutely believe in.
00:57:07.000So the anarchist wing of the libertarian movement has always had a problem when it comes to defending the rights of children.
00:57:14.000They think that they're just going to mount up a posse if we live in an encampment and be able to take care of kids.
00:57:19.000But that's where this problem comes in.
00:57:22.000When it comes to the rights of children, they are unable to define what are the legitimate rights of children.
00:57:28.000And the way I consider it to be is that those rights are held in escrow, either by their parents or by the state, if the parent is not in the picture.
00:57:36.000But no one has the right to harm a child, to give drugs to a child, to touch a child inappropriately or do anything.
00:58:24.000Yeah, and I really like what you just said, Austin.
00:58:27.000I want you to comment on some of these posts, though, because I just feel like we need to put pressure on the Libertarian Party to disavow Chase Oliver.
00:58:36.000I don't think it's enough to simply condemn their choice of candidate and to make fun of these people for not supporting Donald Trump and missing the opportunity to support Donald Trump
00:58:47.000There needs to be an open condemnation of these posts.
00:58:52.000I mean, I'm going to just show you some of these posts here.
00:58:54.000Let's show the photo of him at Disney World in these ears here.
00:59:01.000I'm not accusing him of being a pedophile, I'm not saying he's a pedophile, but I do find it to be really strange when adults go to Disney World in gay memorabilia.
00:59:10.000It just seems really strange to be trying to advocate for homosexual activity at a children's theme park.
00:59:28.000What does it say about the Libertarian Party and their lack of vetting for candidates when they are going to sign their name off on this?
00:59:35.000I mean, why is there not massive, massive protests or why are there not calls for Angela McArdle to ask for this guy to resign because of his inappropriate comments and the imagery that he has which suggests that he is okay with the sexualization of minors?
00:59:53.000Well, it reminds me a little bit of a quote from Ann Coulter, when I think she said, our gays are better than their gays.
01:00:02.000You know, and I'm a Republican now, and if you consider the difference between the gay Republicans, people like who Donald Trump was talking about, the first
01:00:12.000This is a complete 180 from the kind of behavior that you see from gay Republicans versus gay Libertarians.
01:00:19.000I don't understand why we can't, and again I go back to that, how are you going to have somebody from the Libertarian Party pass a Senate confirmation hearing in order to be able to have a position in the cabinet?
01:00:29.000You're probably not going to have it because this is the kind of behavior
01:00:33.000That they would point to if you were to try to get through a Senate confirmation and say, there's no way that somebody like this is ever going to be able to hold high a point in office.
01:00:43.000Now they have the queers and the flamers having gay anal butt sex on the Senate hearing tables in the United States Senate.
01:00:50.000You know, what used to not be acceptable behavior is now acceptable behavior in the United States Senate.
01:00:56.000I mean, did we ever think that we were going to see a Democrat Senate aid worker having gay sex on Amy Klobuchar's seat and broadcasting it on his Instagram?
01:01:08.000And that really is what it is, the culture war.
01:01:11.000It's funny because a lot of these, Laura, a lot of these people that you and I have sparred with, as a matter of fact, in the last few months, people like Dave Smith and Clint Russell and Scott Horton and others, they were lecturing people like you and I, telling us, you know, being anti-war is the most important thing.
01:01:27.000Being anti-war is the most important thing.
01:01:31.000Suggesting that we're in favor of genocide because we want Israel to defend itself.
01:02:33.000Ask him if he's supporting that war monger.
01:02:35.000He has attacked me publicly online and called me stupid.
01:02:39.000And, you know, he thinks that I'm like a genocide... Oh yeah, everyone who disagrees with him is stupid.
01:02:42.000He says that I'm a genocide lover because I'm a Zionist.
01:02:45.000And, you know, look, but I wanted to invite him on tonight even though
01:02:51.000I absolutely do not agree with his pro-Palestinian sentiments.
01:02:56.000I think that he's on the wrong side of this, not just morally, but also as a Jew.
01:03:01.000I think that it's wrong, and he seems to think that it's okay, right, to be a Jew supporting the efforts of the Palestinian Resistance, aka Hamas, even though he will say, till he's blue in the face, that he does not support Hamas.
01:03:56.000Yeah, he didn't get back to me, even though I invited him.
01:03:59.000I was like, listen, Dave, I know that we don't agree on the topic of Israel, but I want to invite you on my show tonight to talk about Chase Oliver, because I noticed that Dave was one of the only people at the convention that actually stood up and said, OK, look, Donald Trump is here.
01:04:13.000Even though he hasn't exactly said, you know, the nicest things about Donald Trump in the past.
01:04:18.000But, you know, look, everybody is welcome on Luma Unleashed.
01:04:22.000Even if you have attacked me online in the past, I will have you on Luma Unleashed to talk about issues that are relevant in the news cycle.
01:04:42.000So you have a lot of these libertarians that say that we're genocide lovers, and they said that we're just as bad as the neocons and the warmongers.
01:04:51.000Well, if the Trump-supporting Zionists, which is what Dave Smith had previously said, are just as bad as the neocons, why is Dave Smith now supporting Trump, right?
01:05:00.000Well, obviously there's another issue.
01:05:05.000We were entreated to nothing but lectures for months, Laura, about how being anti-war is the most important thing, Trump is a warmonger, you're a Zionist, etc, etc, etc.
01:05:16.000But then now, all of a sudden, that they've got their anti-war candidate, they don't want him anymore.
01:05:20.000It's because they realize, like you said,
01:05:22.000There are some more important things that we're at fight with.
01:05:25.000This is the battle for hearts and minds in the culture, protecting our children from the groomers and the pedos and the left, the MAPs, what they want to call themselves.
01:05:34.000That is an important issue that affects the heart, that is happening now.
01:05:37.000You know, drag queen story hours happening around our country, even in conservative red state Missouri.
01:05:59.000So yeah, we have, yes, it's in that chat.
01:06:04.000We're doing this in real time right now because we still have people searching through his
01:06:10.000Searching through his post, here's one where he says, this seems like a good time to remind folks that same-sex pairings and sexual intercourse has been noted in hundreds of animal species.
01:06:20.000Okay, so, you know, I don't know if that is, you know, kind of like a borderline endorsement of, you know, not just like homosexuality, whatever.
01:07:05.000But what we're really talking about, what we have to hone in on, because we all, here's the thing, we're going to lose if we make this about being gay.
01:07:12.000If we make this about consenting adults or overturning gay marriage, Laura, you're losing the plot.
01:07:17.000If we focus in, like, laser-intense on, you know, men dressing up as women and playing in women's sports and taking away their scholarships, right?
01:08:35.000I went to a Pride event featuring Drag Queen Storytime and there was no grooming or sexualization, just happy kids hearing a story about rainbows.
01:08:43.000When you see something firsthand, you can see past media scare tactics.
01:08:47.000And then again, he says, you can see full screen here again.
01:09:00.000Imagine being the libertarian parent of a trans kid.
01:09:03.000You didn't ask for it, you just know you're going to do your best for them.
01:09:06.000And then imagine how they feel seeing their national party equating the care they seek from their kid from their doctor to, you know, grooming a kid for abuse.
01:09:17.000Yeah, he's trying to shame the Libertarian Party into supporting the sexualization of children.
01:09:22.000Like, oh, just imagine how hard it would be for a Libertarian parent to have a trans kid.
01:09:28.000Like, kids don't wake up knowing they're trans, okay?
01:09:31.000You have little kids that eat grass and they say, Mommy, I'm a cow.
01:09:34.000You don't send your kid to a slaughterhouse just because your kid says they're a cow.
01:09:43.000I remember in preschool, like, I sometimes ate glue, and I had, you know, little sparkles in my glue, and my parents would tell me, stop doing that, and I would have my mouth washed out with soap, and you're taught a lesson, right?
01:09:56.000I mean, kids do stupid shit all the time.
01:09:59.000Because the next day you had sparkles in your poop, Laura.
01:10:08.000My first child is being born next month, as a matter of fact, yeah.
01:10:12.000Yeah, so kids wake up and they wake up and they say, you know, Mommy, Daddy, I want to go to school dressed as Cinderella or Spider-Man.
01:10:18.000Like, you don't tell your kid for the rest of their life that they're a princess or they're Spider-Man or that they're an animal because they dress up like an animal for Halloween, right?
01:11:49.000But the truth is, is that Chase Oliver is the best candidate to help us get Donald Trump re-elected.
01:11:56.000I posted a bunch of merch that I created yesterday.
01:12:00.000It's Libertarians for Trump merch, and I took the Gadsden flag snake.
01:12:04.000And I put the Donald Trump hairdo on the snake with the sign that says Libertarians for Trump and I put it on t-shirts kind of like this and on flags.
01:12:15.000If the capitalistic economy is showing us anything, the signals that it's showing us are that there are a lot of people who are going to be willing to say, you know what?
01:12:26.000I don't agree with Donald Trump on everything, but I sure as hell agree with him a lot more than I agree with Chase Oliver when it comes to protecting our children, fighting for a stronger economy.
01:12:37.000I've got the MAGA hat on and I may have to grit my teeth, but I'm gonna wear it.
01:12:43.000So what is your message then to other libertarians, Austin, who may be sitting there after the convention this weekend
01:12:50.000Saying, oh, well, you know, I want to stick to my principles as a libertarian, and I want to give the middle finger to the two-party system, and I want to vote third party, but I can't bring myself to actually support a Black Lives Matter, you know, flamer, groomer.
01:13:40.000Listen to Jeremy, listen to Jeremy Kaufman and the other radicals in New Hampshire who are actually winning battles for the Libertarian Party out in places like New Hampshire, actually winning battles for liberty as card-carrying members.
01:13:53.000Don't take it from me, take it from them.
01:13:56.000Jeremy Kaufman, and you can view his interview that I did with him today on my YouTube channel at AP for Liberty, and he explains in great detail why he is voting for Donald Trump.
01:14:05.000Or, if you can't vote for Donald Trump, and you're, you know, here's what I would say.
01:14:09.000If you absolutely just cannot vote for Donald Trump, do the most principled libertarian thing there is, and don't vote.
01:14:18.000Well, I think that this is the most important election of our lifetimes, and I think that, you know, the average age, Austin, of an empire is 250 years, and America's gonna have its 248th birthday this year, this 4th of July, and, you know, it's like, people need to understand that we're right on that verge, okay, of having the collapse of the American empire, and so I wouldn't advocate for people not to vote.
01:14:43.000Because if Joe Biden gets four more years, or if we have a contingent election, Congress isn't going to put a constitutional conservative in.
01:14:52.000They're not going to put a nationalist in.
01:14:54.000They're not going to put a libertarian in.
01:14:55.000Shit, they're not even going to put a populist in.
01:14:57.000They are not even going to put a moderate Democrat in.
01:15:00.000They are going to put the most radical, totalitarian, leftist, somebody who's going to make Joe Biden look like a competent moderate, okay, in office if they're able to get their way and have a contingent election because of third-party nonsense.
01:15:14.000And so everybody needs to vote for Donald Trump.
01:15:16.000And as Donald Trump said, and I know he's been mocked for saying this, if I wasn't a libertarian now, then I sure as am now, right?
01:15:23.000Because he has realized how the deep state has been weaponized
01:15:27.000And how all of these agencies that Republicans have protected and championed for years, we were told the FBI is good, you know, we were told that DHS was good, we were told that the police were good, and for the most part I would say that most police officers, you know, try to do good.
01:15:42.000It's the people on top that are often corrupt, so I'm not a cop hater, but
01:15:47.000You know, I definitely do think that we need to defund the FBI.
01:15:50.000I think that these are positions that have been hard for conservatives, traditionally, to come to.
01:15:56.000And if anything, the Libertarian Party should be grateful to Donald Trump for mainstreaming the idea of defunding the FBI, for mainstreaming the idea of, you know, going after the deep state.
01:16:09.000Like, I never thought in my wildest dreams that saying, deep on the FBI or, you know, the FBI or the deep state is corrupt or we need to, uh, you need to fire all of the political appointees within DHS and all of the intel agencies would be a mainstream conservative, uh, policy or statement.
01:16:27.000Because after 9-11, conservatives were taught that, oh, you have to support the national security state
01:16:33.000You have to support the intel agencies because that is the patriotic conservative American thing to do for the sake of combating this war on terror.
01:16:41.000But now everything that the Patriot Act was used for and the implementation of the Patriot Act and all these intel agencies that, you know, were supposed to be funded for the sake of countering Islamic terrorism,
01:16:53.000They created the concept of digital de-platforming, which was supposed to be used as a counter-terror tactic for Islamic terrorism, and they have instead weaponized it against white, Christian, conservative Americans, for the most part.
01:17:15.000I'm pulling for him to be the vice presidential pick.
01:17:18.000I've actually made a pledge to my fans and supporters.
01:17:21.000I said that, you know, I have not worn my Make America Great Again hat yet.
01:17:25.000I have not put it on yet, but I have said, I have pledged, that if Donald Trump nominates Vivek Ramaswamy as his vice presidential pick, I am going to, for the very first time on my show, put on this Make America Great Again hat.
01:17:38.000Because Vivek Ramaswamy has talked about a libertarian nationalist alliance.
01:18:03.000You know, maybe we should keep the guns and the due process, you know?
01:18:06.000Maybe we shouldn't ban bump stocks, you know, and things like that, right?
01:18:09.000Wouldn't that be a much better vision for America?
01:18:12.000But I wonder, do you agree with Ann Coulter?
01:18:14.000And maybe she just said this to be shocking, but you remind me of her sometimes, every once in a while, just because she's, you know, just so out there.
01:19:21.000But, you know, depending on what happens, who knows?
01:19:23.000You know, maybe we could see Carrie Lake in 2028 too.
01:19:26.000But I do think that, I don't know, I don't agree with Ann Coulter's remarks, but unfortunately, I think that that's how a lot of Americans feel.
01:19:34.000We saw in Iowa, Vivek Ramaswamy had a better ground game than any of the candidates.
01:19:40.000And look, I love Donald Trump, but I will say that Vivek Ramaswamy had more ground game activity than Donald Trump did in the state of Iowa.
01:20:13.000But I do think that we have a lot of people in this country who still have that mentality of, I'm not going to vote for a brown Hindu.
01:20:20.000I certainly do not agree with Ann Coulter.
01:20:25.000Laura, the saddest thing this election cycle has been, not necessarily DeSantis himself, but his supporters and how badly Donald Trump broke them.
01:20:35.000I mean, I posted earlier today, I'm a Vivek Ramaswamy Republican thinking, oh, this is probably something uncontroversial because I identify very much with him.
01:21:23.000What happened to a lot of Ted Cruz supporters back in 2016?
01:21:26.000They just, I understand, like, you're conservatives, you want to have a conservative across the finish line, but in many ways, they're kind of acting a lot like libertarians, that they're kind of like little bitches, you know what I mean?
01:21:35.000Yeah, they can't get over it, you know, they can't get over it and they like to say, you know, oh yeah, you know, Ron DeSantis is gonna fundraise for Donald Trump and he's gonna support Donald Trump.
01:22:25.000A pro-America coalition of people who believe in the philosophy of the Founding Fathers, but who also have a realist foreign policy, who understand that there are dictators around the world and people who want to do us harm, who know who our enemies are, who are the true enemies of the United States.
01:22:43.000And like Donald Trump said to the Libertarian Party Convention the other night, the biggest enemies that we have are not necessarily overseas.
01:22:50.000They are right here in the United States.
01:22:53.000A libertarian nationalist alliance is one of secure borders.
01:22:57.000It is one of an orderly immigration system that accounts for merit for people who want to come to the United States.
01:23:03.000It is one of deportation of violent criminals and an end to trafficking, human trafficking in the United States.
01:23:09.000And Chase Oliver doesn't support a border wall.
01:23:11.000Let's get that up here too because he posted a meme as well where he was attacking Donald Trump for saying he wanted a border wall to prevent human trafficking and drug smuggling and criminal activity on the border.
01:23:21.000Let's get that graphic pulled up on the screen here in the chat.
01:24:31.000I mean, I just lose track of all these numbers, but the Gaza peer, the Ukraine funding... It's because many of the Libertarian Party have bought into the same failed ideology of people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
01:24:45.000And I've been on the warpath against these people because what they do is they engage the same mentality of people who tore down statues in 2020, the George Floyd riots.
01:24:55.000This Chase Oliver guy was out there supporting Black Lives Matter and kind of, you know, dog whistling about the, oh, fiery but mostly peaceful protests, right?
01:25:04.000Like, trying to gaslight us about what was really going on in these places.
01:25:08.000And, you know, people who were not fans of Kyle Kenosha,
01:25:11.000Right, Kyle from Kenosha and how he defended himself against violent Black Lives Matter protesters, right?
01:25:17.000So when you talk about the word woke, everybody uses the word woke, but Chase is woke.
01:25:24.000He falls right in line with those people who tear down statues.
01:25:27.000Now, these aren't the type of people who have the balls to actually go out and tear down statues, but what they do is they engage in a form of cultural vandalism that is the same thing philosophically as
01:26:20.000Donald Trump is probably the greatest, the most libertarian president since Calvin Coolidge, probably more than Ronald Reagan.
01:26:27.000As much as I actually sort of have a, you know, a love and an admiration of the 1980s and what Ronald Reagan did to protect us from the Soviet Union, at the end of the day,
01:26:36.000When it comes to the foreign policy of Donald Trump, his is the closest to what I truly believe, which is peace through strength.
01:26:43.000I was actually explaining to my lovely wife the other night about this photograph of Donald Trump, which is iconic.
01:26:48.000If you could find that one, put it up, about the one of Donald Trump
01:26:52.000Where Angela Merkel is leaning over him, where the Prime Minister of Japan, formerly Shinzo Abe, rest in peace, who was assassinated I believe a year ago, there's a picture of Donald Trump sitting down and Angela Merkel is looming over him, which is a perfect metaphor for how the rest of the world looks at the United States and Japan.
01:27:13.000They want to force us to go to live in the pods, eat the bugs, go along with the vaccine mandates, go along with the World Economic Forum's agenda, right?
01:27:21.000You will own nothing and you will be happy, right?
01:27:23.000And many of these leftist-style libertarians, they have bought into that cultural mindset and that cultural view.
01:27:29.000It is what some people call this a cosmopolitanism, right?
01:27:38.000I guess entranced by the leftist Marxist cultural vision that they get because they spend their entire time living in these cities.
01:27:47.000And the old agrarian versus industrial divide that drove this country into a civil war has reimagined itself in this country now with what you might call red states or blue states.
01:27:58.000But really what we're talking about is an urban and rural divide.
01:30:05.000They want us to be like he was talking to me in my interview when I interviewed Chase Oliver as he was talking about you know the nudity the public nudity he's like well in Europe they have nude beaches and all these kinds of things and and it wasn't just that he was trying to make excuses for young children seeing naked adults in my interview he was really talking about a liberal in a feet leftist liberal culturally Marxist view that comes out of Europe that people like Chase Oliver want to see because
01:30:39.000They think that everybody should live like they do in Europe, smoking cigarettes and eating croissant and going to nude beaches and children can see, you know, the wing-wings of adults, you know, because it's fine, it's no problem, ha-ha, merde, right?
01:30:54.000I hate when people are like, well, we need to be more like Europe.
01:30:56.000And there are Republicans who do this, too.
01:30:59.000There are conservative Republicans who think that we need to be more like Europe.
01:31:02.000I don't understand why more Americans, especially right-wingers, aren't willing to make a stand on American individualism and defend the values that truly make America great, which is our willingness to look at the rest of the world when Angela Merkel leans over the table and says,
01:31:21.000You're going to go along with us, Donald Trump?
01:31:24.000We look at the rest of the world, and we've got Japan behind us, and we say, no, fuck you.
01:31:44.000They're probably going to find some weird patsy guy to come in who will like, you know, they'll replace me with some dummy guy who looks really like a good politician and doesn't say things like, fuck you on live streams.
01:31:56.000Maybe somebody more diplomatic, Laura.
01:31:58.000But listen, I'm having the time of my life here in Missouri, trying to affect change at the local level.
01:32:03.000Like I told you, I'm about to be a father.
01:32:05.000I've got a smoking hot, red-headed, libertarian wife.
01:32:40.000I don't need the cosmopolitan elite beltway libertarians in D.C., their permission to do anything because I don't work for any of them.
01:32:48.000I don't take any money from any of them.
01:32:50.000So I'm truly free and independent so I can say what I want to say, do what I want to do, fight for the things that I want to fight for, and say what I know is right.
01:33:09.000I have true liberty here in the United States, and I know that if more people in the United States had the kind of freedom that I have, if they weren't locked into these cities, if they weren't being forced into 15-minute cities, if they weren't being forced into many of these regimes, if they weren't being forced into these corporate jobs where they're treated like dirt,
01:33:27.000And they don't get pensions at the end of their careers, and they're not allowed to work from home, and they can't spend time with their families, and they've got to work five, six, seven days a week just to be able to, you know, pay for the McDonald's these days, which is like $30 a hamburger.
01:33:40.000If more people could live like we live here in the Midwest, just, you know, voluntarily choosing to be able to have the kind of freedom that we have in places like Missouri, if we were to bring Missouri freedom to the rest of the country, I'll tell you what, this country would be more prosperous, it'd be more free.
01:33:54.000And hey, there's a reason why Missouri voted for Donald Trump.
01:33:58.000Well, Austin, where do people follow you?
01:34:01.000I really appreciate you, you know, coming on tonight and talking some common sense into the Libertarian Party and being a voice for the many Libertarians that actually do want to vote for Trump instead of, you know, supporting a pro-BLM, pro-vax, pro-child grooming.
01:34:16.000I mean, it just gets so bad if I go through all the isms that this guy, you know, purports to represent and support.
01:34:26.000Yeah, thank you, Laura, and thanks for having me.
01:34:28.000I mean, we, again, we go back to 2008, Stephen Gordon days.
01:34:31.000I mean, and we've got a lot of memories together, and I hope that someday soon you and I can actually see each other again in person, because it has been a long time.
01:34:39.000But I'm grateful that you think of me and that you invite me on.
01:34:42.000If any of your listeners hear me now and really enjoy this commentary, I do this five days a week on my own show, The Wake Up America Show, which is 7 to 9 a.m.
01:34:54.000And I'm right here on Rumble.com slash AP4Liberty.
01:34:58.000So, if you type in AP4Liberty, you'll find me there.
01:35:01.000And if you're really hankering for one of them Libertarians for Trump shirts, and I've convinced you, do check out my merchandise shop, AP4LibertyShop.com.
01:35:26.000He's a longtime friend, a Libertarian, and as you heard here on Loomer Unleashed, he is supporting Donald Trump for president in 2024.
01:35:36.000He will not be supporting the Libertarians pro-Groomer candidate, Chase Oliver.
01:35:41.000We're going to take a quick break because we're having some delays with the stream here.
01:35:46.000So we're going to go to a quick standby, but we'll be back momentarily because I want to make sure that you're able to watch the stream in full without any glitches.
01:35:54.000But we may need to just restart the connection.
01:36:04.000I apologize for those technical delays.
01:36:06.000There appears to be some kind of internet issue that, you know, I don't know what's causing the stream to lag.
01:36:11.000I don't really know what the issue is.
01:36:13.000I'm not a techie, but either way, the stream is back up.
01:36:17.000And I apologize if the interview is choppy.
01:36:21.000We recorded it on our end here in the studio and what we'll do is we will upload it again after the fact and so you will be able to watch the replay of the interview and the entire episode of Loomer Unleashed tonight without the interruptions in case the stream was glitchy for you.
01:36:39.000But with that, Austin Peterson, of course, is a leading voice, a leading thought leader in the Libertarian Party.
01:36:47.000And so it was really good to have his perception tonight, his analysis of the situation, his perspective on the convention this weekend at the Libertarian Convention in Washington, D.C.
01:37:01.000And so we'll be able to post that interview.
01:37:04.000It will all be put together after the show tonight, and you will be able to watch it.
01:37:09.000We have some clips actually from this weekend and I mean we just told you all about Chase Oliver the disastrous libertarian candidate and so why don't I go ahead and play clip 11 of Chase Oliver talking about how voting and gender are non-binary just so you can see how much of a radical leftist this guy really is.
01:37:44.000You know, as you can imagine, it was quite a hostile situation this weekend at the Libertarian Convention.
01:37:48.000We actually had Loomer Unleashed correspondent Charles Downs on the scene where he captured Trump supporters being removed from the front row of the Libertarian Convention so that they could make room for Kennedy supporters.
01:37:59.000And of course, you see that Kennedy is in the gator mouth tonight.
01:38:02.000So, let's go ahead and play clip number 17.
01:38:11.000Those of you who are Donald Trump supporters, I think what I would like to see tonight is for us to all get along
01:38:36.000And come to an understanding and find areas of agreement, even if we don't agree to vote for the same person.
01:38:42.000I want us to have some camaraderie and go through some experience.
01:38:45.000I know that we all want to do the same thing.
01:38:56.000We don't like who's sitting in the White House right now or being propped up on life support, whatever it is.
01:39:03.000We should focus on our areas of agreement.
01:39:05.000I would also really appreciate if our delegates could have a seat where they can see the stage because they came thousands of miles to this and it's what was promised.
01:39:16.000And so if some of you could share some of your seating with them, it would be great.
01:39:22.000And then I don't have to come down there
01:39:24.000Like, in a dress and, you know, flats.
01:40:15.000So as you can see, of course, that was the new Libertarian chairwoman, Angela McArdle, saying that they were going to get security involved if Trump supporters didn't give up their seats.
01:40:34.000But look, even though President Trump had a rough reception at the Libertarian Convention, he still hit on topics like freeing Ross Ulbricht, like I was talking to Austin about, that other candidates he spoke didn't necessarily speak on.
01:40:47.000So, let's go ahead and play clip number 16 of President Trump promising to pardon the J6ers and to free Ross Ulbricht.
01:40:59.000I can sign their pardons for commutation one day a week.
01:41:15.000And I will ensure that Libertarians are helping to lead that task force.
01:41:22.000You'll be on that task force, many of you.
01:41:24.000As everyone knows, it will be my great honor
01:41:28.000And if you vote for me on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross on
01:42:35.000We have another clip of President Trump telling the Libertarians that he doesn't throw his enemies in jail, unlike Joe Biden.
01:42:41.000This was another highlight from this weekend at the Libertarian Convention.
01:43:26.000And even though President Trump was receiving some boos throughout the convention, by the end of his speech he was actually receiving a lot of chants from the very people that were booing him.
01:43:37.000So I think that, you know, President Trump you're gonna see is going to earn a lot of the Libertarian vote.
01:43:42.000I don't even think they're gonna get 3%.
01:43:44.000I think that now the fact that the Libertarian Party has actually nominated a full-blown, you know, radical leftist as their candidate, Chase Oliver, I think you're gonna see a lot of these people just kind of
01:43:55.000Uh, you know, plug their nose and swallow their pride and, you know, they're gonna vote for Donald Trump because I think that a lot of these libertarians are right-wing at the end of the day and they don't want to vote for a Marxist.
01:44:06.000And I think that Chase Oliver, you could say, is a Marxist.
01:44:09.000Let's go ahead and play clip 19 of the crowd chanting, We Want Trump!
01:44:51.000And of course, along with the Libertarian Convention this weekend, some other hot news items.
01:44:56.000Today, of course, this week began the closing arguments in the Trump trial in New York City.
01:45:02.000And so you had members of the Trump family and several elected Republicans join President Trump today in court, where he unfortunately had to sit in that chilly courtroom with Judge Mershawn for 11 hours with closing arguments.
01:45:16.000There are reports today out from CBS News.
01:45:19.000We'll get that up on the screen momentarily so you can see.
01:45:22.000They are now talking about how Secret Service met with the police.
01:45:28.000They met with the jail staff in the jail in New York City to discuss preparations for Donald Trump for being jailed.
01:45:37.000So it's really intensifying now and of course we know that Donald Trump hasn't received a fair trial because he's been gagged this entire time.
01:46:14.000So this article came out earlier today from CBS News and you can scroll down.
01:46:17.000And you can see if you keep on scrolling down.
01:46:28.000If Trump is found guilty, Judge Mershawn would have a fairly wide leeway in determining a punishment, including sentencing Trump to probation or house arrest.
01:46:36.000You can see Levin said the option of confining Trump to his home followed by a period of probation might be appealing to Mershawn, who has repeatedly indicated he's concerned about limiting a presidential candidate's ability to speak freely.
01:46:49.000Such an option would allow Trump to do interviews and access social media from his home.
01:46:53.000From the day Trump was first arraigned on April 4th, 2023,
01:46:57.000Mershawn has said he was loath to interfere with Trump's ability to campaign.
01:47:01.000Yeah, okay, well, if he really actually didn't want to interfere with Donald Trump's ability to campaign, then he probably wouldn't put a gag order on Donald Trump to prevent him from speaking out about the fact that his daughter, Lauren Mershawn, is the president of a company called Authentic Campaigns, which is a major Democrat political consulting firm for the leading Democrats in our country, including the Biden-Harris campaign.
01:47:26.000Marshawn called incarceration truly a last resort for me, saying, quote, I also worry about the people who would have to execute that sanction, the court officers, the correction officers, the Secret Service detail.
01:47:39.000Still, that day, he cautioned Trump that jail is not out of the question, saying, quote, I want you to understand that I will, if necessary and appropriate, put you in jail, Marshawn said.
01:47:49.000And, of course, that was when Donald Trump, they said, violated the gag order by talking about
01:48:29.000A non-violent, you know, man who is in his late 70s.
01:48:34.000His birthday is going to be in a few days.
01:48:37.000And they're going to do this, of course, right before his birthday, too, just to be assholes, right?
01:48:42.000They're already talking about, scroll up a little bit, further up in the article.
01:48:47.000Yeah, it's a possibility that officials and state and federal agencies have begun preparing for, according to a New York corrections source who said that Secret Service has met with local jail officials.
01:48:57.000As a former president, Trump is entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest of his life.
01:49:02.000Wherever he happens to be, behind bars, corrections officers would in turn be responsible for protecting those agents assigned to Trump.
01:49:10.000So, actively talking about jailing Donald Trump, President of the United States of America.
01:49:19.000We had a lot of action today at the courthouse though.
01:49:23.000You had Robert De Niro who was of course rolled out by Joe Biden and the Democrats in front of the courthouse to give this very bizarre press conference where he was actually shouted down by Trump supporters.
01:50:46.000So, you know, he really didn't receive favorable press today.
01:50:49.000Michael Cohen is the embodiment of reasonable doubt, and this entire case hinges on someone who has quite literally lied to every single person and body he's ever been in front of.
01:51:17.000He's lied before I believe it's every branch of Congress.
01:51:47.000Today, by the Biden campaign themselves, holding a rally here.
01:51:52.000They bring in Robert De Niro, who was shot down, but apparently he needs attention because it's been a while since he's cranked out a good movie.
01:53:26.000Everyone in this case is conflicted, and it hinges on one man who's not just a liar, convicted, someone who's lost his law license, has been disbarred, someone who's served jail time for lying before congressional bodies, and that's it.
01:53:42.000This is a sham, it's insane, and it needs to stop, because if you think for one second that this ends with Donald Trump, you have not been watching what's going on in the Democrat Party in the last few years.
01:54:00.000This sham prosecution, this insanity, this abomination has to stop now.
01:54:07.000We also had Laura Trump, who is now, you know, at the RNC, of course, with Michael Watley, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, talking about how this case is about politics.
01:54:16.000And of course it's about politics, right?
01:54:18.000I mean, why else would the Biden campaign not come out for the Trump trial for the last six weeks when this trial's been taking place?
01:54:50.000I don't know what else to say that hasn't been said but I think it's pretty obvious after all of the evidence has been presented now.
01:54:58.000We can very clearly see, if you didn't already know, that this was never a case about seeking justice.
01:55:04.000This was never a case about prosecuting an actual crime.
01:55:08.000This was never a case about protecting the citizens of the city of New York.
01:55:14.000This is a case about politics, pure and simple.
01:55:20.000And then we of course had the other Trump's son, Eric Trump, who of course is Laura Trump's husband, outside the courthouse today as well talking about the absurdity over the fact that, you know, shouldn't these people in the DA's office and all these people in the courthouse in Manhattan be more concerned about the rising crime levels in New York City, which has turned into an absolute shithole?
01:55:42.000Shouldn't they be actually worried about, you know, police officers who are being shot to death, which just happened a few weeks ago as well?
01:55:49.000With illegal aliens flooding the streets, with people being pushed to their deaths in the subway system, but instead they're all obsessing about trying to get Trump, right?
01:55:57.000So let's go ahead and play clip number nine of Eric Trump outside the courthouse.
01:56:05.000I've been in that courthouse with my father almost every single day.
01:56:09.000And not a single New Yorker has a look at murders in the streets, women getting thrown in front of trains, kids getting shot in Times Square, the degradation of this city.
01:56:18.000Not a single New Yorker believes that over $130,000 payment
01:56:23.000From nine years ago, from eight years ago, that the entire DA's office is lining that courtroom.
01:56:37.000All while this state absolutely melts.
01:56:39.000Everybody that sits here right now, every single one of you,
01:56:42.000Knows that this is not the same state that we knew 10 years ago.
01:56:45.000Knew it was not the same state as we saw 5 years ago.
01:56:49.000You have total degradation of New York State because the only thing that Alvin Bragg wants to do, only thing that Letitia James wants to do is criminally prosecute Donald Trump.
01:58:46.000A poll just came out from the New York Times.
01:58:48.000Even Democrats, the vast majority of Democrats, know that this case is a sham.
01:58:53.000And I think we're going to prevail and I'm just proud of the toughest person I've ever met in my entire life for having the backbone and fortitude to go through this whole mess as uncomfortable as it's been.
01:59:05.000And I'm proud to have stood there every single second by his side in that freezing cold courtroom against unthinkable odds and a corrupt judge and people making a lot of money and this political witch hunt.
01:59:17.000He's an inspiration to me every single day and he'll be vindicated.
01:59:25.000It's so sad, you know, what not only Donald Trump is, you know, having to be subjected to, but also what his children are having to be subjected to.
01:59:32.000I mean, poor Barron just turned 18 and, you know, didn't even know if his own father was going to be able to, you know, attend his high school graduation because Judge Marchand didn't want him to go to the graduation.
01:59:42.000Well, luckily now, you know, President Trump was able to attend the graduation, but I just imagine, you know, he doesn't get to spend time with his dad.
01:59:49.000His dad has to, you know, rush to the graduation and then leave the graduation because he barely gets any time to campaign because he's stuck in a courtroom every single day of the week except Wednesdays and Saturdays and Sundays.
01:59:59.000So, anyway, I want to take a moment, of course, to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, 1775coffee.com.

02:01:48.000Another thing that happened in New York that was pretty funny, well not that really any of this is funny, but this of course was a little bit of humor on top of the trial because you know the media of course has been attacking Donald Trump and outside of Robert De Niro getting totally mogged by Trump supporters today.
02:02:06.000A few days ago you had Morning Joe MSDNC host Joe Scarborough, clip number two,
02:02:12.000getting confronted at the airport outside of New York City by a Trump supporter who called him out for his attacks on Donald Trump and Of course for attacking President Trump during this trial So it's always really funny when these leftists get a taste of their own medicine.
02:02:27.000I really enjoy it first of all, so They had an article up about this too because President Trump actually shared my video the video that I posted of Joe Scarborough getting confronted which was posted exclusively by me and Loomer Unleashed and
02:02:41.000Because it was sent to us by the guy that confronted him.
02:02:44.000So let's go ahead and expand the clip and play it because it's just so funny and I think it's hilarious that Donald Trump actually shared this clip on his true social account.
02:04:39.000I think a lot of people in this country are starting to wake up and realize that this is a sham trial.
02:04:54.000I saw today that Fox News actually released a poll that showed that
02:04:59.00065% of Americans said that it doesn't matter if Trump gets convicted, their vote is not going to change.
02:05:03.000So, you know, that's good news for President Trump.
02:05:05.000I think it's actually probably a lot more than that.
02:05:07.000I think that, you know, we live in such a volatile political climate that people are probably scared to really say the truth about what they think about Donald Trump and what they think about his trial.
02:05:16.000But I think that a lot of people see through this.
02:05:18.000There's even Democrats that are saying that Mershawn should have recused himself, that it's inappropriate that the daughter's running this political consulting firm.
02:05:25.000So I think that, you know, regardless of what happens, it doesn't matter if Donald Trump is convicted or not.
02:05:33.000I think the best thing that could happen to his presidency is if he is jailed, honestly.
02:05:37.000If he's jailed overnight, he will raise $100 million overnight, and people will just lose their minds.
02:05:43.000People will flood the streets in support of President Trump.
02:05:45.000They will flood the polls, and it's really going to jolt people into getting out there and supporting President Trump.
02:05:53.000Maybe it's going to take Donald Trump getting arrested again, like he was in Fulton County on August 24th of 2023, right?
02:06:00.000Maybe that is what it's going to take.
02:06:05.000Not that I support that, of course, because I love Donald Trump, but we saw that it really energized the base and really jolted people into saying, holy shit, you know, they really arrested Donald Trump.
02:06:16.000What do you think would happen if Trump went to jail?
02:06:26.000He'll become a better fundraiser than Lorne Mershawn is for the Democrats, okay?
02:06:33.000So he will officially outdo Lorne Mershawn as it relates to political fundraising.
02:06:39.000And I think that it will cause outrage to the point where you see even moderate Democrats crossing the aisle and saying, I can't be a part of this anymore.
02:06:47.000I can't support this weaponized government.
02:06:50.000I think that you're going to see people take to the streets.
02:06:53.000I mean, I'm not advocating for violence, but I do think that there are some people on both sides of the aisle in this country who would be triggered to taking it to the streets, perhaps in a violent manner.
02:07:04.000I'm not saying that Trump supporters are going to be violent, but I think that that could be the tipping point for a civil war in this country.
02:07:12.000I really do think that something like that could happen.
02:07:16.000Let's hope it doesn't happen because I would hate to see President Trump go to jail.
02:07:21.000But at the end of the day, I don't think that it would be the worst thing for him because I think that people would support him regardless.
02:08:27.000And of course, be sure that you're following me on Twitter, True Social, Gab, and Getter at Laura Loomer.
