On Sunday, America narrowly avoided disaster for the second time in three months. Once again, President Trump was the target of an attempted assassination, with the would-be attacker hiding in the bushes outside of the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Thankfully, the situation could have been tragic, but the assailant was spotted and fired upon by Secret Service agents, potentially saving the President's life.
00:22:34.000On Sunday, America narrowly avoided disaster for the second time in three months.
00:22:40.000Once again, President Trump was the target of an attempted assassination, with the would-be attacker hiding in the bushes outside of the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
00:22:50.000The situation could have been tragic, but the assailant was spotted and fired upon by Secret Service agents, potentially saving the President's life.
00:23:01.000And instead, we can examine the divisive rhetoric that has undoubtedly played a role in encouraging such violent acts against the President.
00:23:09.000For months, the Democrat Party and their allies in the mainstream media have relentlessly attacked President Trump, labeling him as a threat to democracy, whatever that means, and declaring that he must never again regain power.
00:23:24.000Through politically motivated legal battles, they've sought to brand him as a convicted felon and far worse.
00:23:29.000They've tried to pin the responsibility for the January 6th protests squarely on him.
00:23:35.000Even after Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt back in July, the hostile rhetoric never let up.
00:23:42.000It's clear that many on the left want to see Donald Trump dead.
00:23:46.000They fantasize about it happening live on TV, eager to flaunt his death as a twisted form of revenge against every single MAGA supporter.
00:23:55.000This level of hatred is truly disturbing.
00:23:58.000Last week, the left-wing media amped up its attacks, not only on Donald Trump, but also on me.
00:24:54.000They moved to outright slander me, accusing me of having an affair with the president, a vile and baseless claim.
00:25:02.000You see, I'm a loyal and dedicated and passionate supporter of Donald Trump.
00:25:07.000I'm not some opportunistic sleazy social climber.
00:25:11.000Kamala Harris is clearly projecting in these attacks on me since we all know how she got her political career started.
00:25:18.000Thus, the portrayal of me by the media as some type of radical floozy is a description fitting for someone like Kamala Harris, not me.
00:25:27.000Thankfully, both Donald Trump and J.D.
00:25:28.000Vance have refused to cave to the communists in the media, as I'm sure everybody, really everybody, recognizes the baseless nature of these attacks.
00:25:36.000I'm sure that the left realizes them too, but hey, they just want to attack me even if it means attacking me with lies.
00:25:46.000There's no benefit in caving to the left's demands.
00:25:48.000Even if they did disavow me, the media would never let them forget it.
00:25:52.000This is the trap the left loves to set, hoping Republicans will stumble into it while the left openly embraces actual racists and terror supporters.
00:26:00.000You see, they invite Hamas supporters to the White House.
00:26:05.000Notice how the only Republicans who fall for this are the weak ones, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lindsey Graham.
00:26:12.000Marjorie Trader Green, as I like to call her, was quick to attack me and side with Kamala Harris.
00:26:18.000Some have told me that she even colluded with the Harris campaign, claiming that I don't represent the MAGA movement.
00:26:25.000And she attached my free speech while cozying up to the same leftists who have incited violence against President Trump and have worked tirelessly over the last several years to jail him and attack his family members.
00:26:37.000Marjorie is a prime example of why the Republican Party falters time and time again.
00:26:43.000You don't earn points by siding with the left.
00:26:47.000You see, this is something that a lot of Republicans don't understand.
00:26:52.000There's no reward from the media for being the best Republican or the most moral Republican.
00:26:59.000In the end, the left is going to label her and Lindsey Graham the same way that they do others.
00:27:04.000Nazi, insurrectionist, racist, or whatever term they choose.
00:27:14.000Our party has engaged in a generational struggle against the political elite that has seized control of our nation's power structures.
00:27:23.000We are up against the same deep state that did everything it could to block and destroy Donald Trump in 2016 and to undermine his policies during his presidency.
00:27:33.000You see, we're fighting against unchecked illegal immigration and costly foreign wars that have drained our nation's resources.
00:27:41.000And the radical left, which openly pushes for late-term abortions, mass migration, child transgender surgeries, and gun confiscation, well, they're not going to stop anytime soon.
00:27:53.000In fact, as the election gets nearer over these next seven weeks, they're only going to intensify their attacks in an effort to create as much chaos as possible.
00:28:04.000Yet, Republicans like Marjorie are aligning themselves with the left.
00:30:17.000We have a lot to talk about tonight, and I'm sure that you saw over on Sunday that, well, they're at it again.
00:30:24.000The evil forces in our nation are trying to assassinate Donald Trump once again, and I predict that they're going to try it again.
00:30:32.000And again and again until, well, they get their wish.
00:30:35.000Because, let's be honest, what has really changed in our country since Donald Trump was almost assassinated the first time on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania?

00:32:05.000So there's a lot to unpack here with this Ryan Routh individual.
00:32:08.000Tonight, momentarily, actually, we're going to be having Kevin DeMatteo on.
00:32:14.000Kevin DeMatteo will be my special guest tonight.
00:32:17.000And Kevin contacted me, and he said, oh, I want to get in touch with Laura Loomer.
00:32:23.000And so he contacted this woman that I know, a friend of mine from Palm Beach County and was able to get in touch with me.
00:32:30.000And the reason why Kevin wanted to get in touch with me is because years ago, almost 30 years ago, he hired Ryan Routh, who now has been charged with several firearms charges, possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
00:32:49.000And the question is, is how did a guy who was a convicted felon, who as we now know the FBI has said was on their radar since 2019, Get access to an AK-47.
00:33:00.000How did a guy who was only living off of $3,000 a month manage to pay for plane tickets to travel from Hawaii, where he's living, in Honolulu, to Florida?
00:33:20.000But what's even more concerning about this Ryan Routh character is the fact that he has so many ties to the mainstream media.
00:33:27.000As soon as this incident, as the media likes to call it, so they're calling it an incident, of course, because they don't want to call it what it actually is, an attempted assassination, second attempted assassination on President Trump's life, the media wants to call it an incident.
00:33:42.000So as soon as this incident happened, I rushed to the scene of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
00:33:50.000I drove down there and I started immediately archiving Ryan Routh's social media accounts, which have now, of course, you know, as always is the case, has been completely scrubbed and wiped from the internet.
00:34:02.000And so, what I found is that he had...
00:34:08.000on his social media that really were indicative of him being a mercenary, talking about how he was fighting in the war in Ukraine and wanted to go to Ukraine to kill Vladimir Puhin, tweeting at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris about how Donald Trump was a so-called tweeting at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris about how Donald Trump was a so-called threat to democracy, and also trying to recruit Afghan soldiers and basically traffic them through Pakistan illegally and and also trying to recruit Afghan soldiers and basically traffic them through Pakistan illegally and get Pakistan passports illegally, of course, by purchasing fake passports and then importing these
00:34:36.000by purchasing fake passports and then importing these people to Ukraine to fight in the Ukraine war.
00:34:43.000So you have to ask yourself, how does an American citizen who's engaged in this type of mercenary activity and also is a convicted felon, how does a guy like that that's on the FBI's radar not get arrested for trying to illegally human traffic Afghans who are not going to be a victim of Who knows if these people are in the Taliban, right?
00:35:02.000Who knows what these people are or who they are.
00:35:05.000Trafficking these people to Pakistan to get illegal passports and then bringing them to Ukraine.
00:35:16.000Here we have Ukraine now distances itself from Ryan Routh, a man accused in apparent Trump assassination attempt.
00:35:23.000And so what we have is Ryan Routh actually tweeting at Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, and taking photos with a lot of high level officials.
00:35:33.000It's very strange actually to see who this guy was connected to.
00:36:35.000I have thousands of Afghan soldiers that wish to serve for the Haiti National Police at cheap wages.
00:36:39.000A thousand with passports ready to fly.
00:36:43.000He's openly posting his information, posting his number, posting his email address, and really soliciting out in the open for people to contact him, not really hiding his mercenary activities.
00:36:54.000You can see those are archived posts that have now been deleted from X. Scroll down.
00:36:59.000Posts from his social media show that suspected Trump assassin Ryan Routh is a devout leftist and never-Trumper.
00:37:05.000Posts from Ryan Routh's ex account show that Routh had a soft spot in his heart for the people of Haiti as he offered to recruit Afghan soldiers to serve in Haiti's National Police Force.
00:37:18.000Ralph's obsession with Haiti is extremely eye-opening as President Trump has been called a so-called racist this week.
00:37:25.000If you recall, they've been attacking Donald Trump all week long, and J.D.
00:37:29.000Vance as well, of being a racist for their comments about eating the dogs and eating the cats, remarks at the debate when he was speaking to, you know, The fact that over 20,000 Haitian migrants have been imported into the town of Springfield, Ohio, and these people, of course, are not assimilating and they are not really integrating very well with the people of Ohio.
00:37:54.000We actually confronted Senator Sherrod Brown today.
00:37:57.000We've confronted Senator Sherrod Brown several times.
00:38:00.000Senator Sherrod Brown, of course, is the Democrat senator from Ohio who, well, he voted in support of giving these Haitian invaders temporary protected status, and he signed off on importing these Haitian invaders into his state of Ohio.
00:38:16.000And, well, he's just ignored all of the complaints from the people of Ohio who are very upset About the fact that thousands of these migrants are now in their community, and while they are eating people's pets, they are crashing cars, they don't know how to drive, they don't really follow traffic laws.
00:38:34.000And so we caught up with Senator Brown today.
00:38:39.000correspondent Charles Downs tracked him down, and we asked him about his voting record.
00:38:43.000We asked him last week as well in a video that has now been seen over 7 million times.
00:38:48.000And of course, Chris Hayes from MSNBC had, well, an absolute meltdown talking about our videos, asking, oh my god!
00:38:57.000You know, how is Laura Loomer getting all these videos and why is the NRC sharing them?
00:39:01.000Well, probably because, you know, Loomer Unleashed is the only publication out there that is actually confronting people and holding them accountable.
00:39:09.000And you see a lot of these other journalists are very lazy.
00:39:12.000They don't really want to do anything.
00:39:13.000They simply want to aggregate other people's work or they just want to talk on Twitter.
00:39:17.000They're not actually putting their own time and their resources like I am here at Loomer Unleashed into confronting these people and asking them the hard questions.
00:39:26.000I also asked, well, we here at Luma Unleashed have also been asking the senators in battleground races about their voting record as it relates to men voting in or men playing, excuse me, in women's sports.
00:39:39.000And so not only are these people for open borders and mass migration, but they're also in support of men, biological men playing in women's sports.
00:39:49.000So let's go ahead and play this clip of Democrat Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown being confronted today.
00:39:56.000Why did you vote to allow men to play women's sports?
00:39:59.000And will you apologize to the people of Springfield, Ohio for downplaying the illegal immigration crisis going on there?
00:40:15.000Why did you vote to allow men to play women's sports?
00:40:18.000And will you apologize to the people of Springfield, Ohio, for downplaying the illegal immigration crisis going on there?
00:40:25.000And before we get to our guest tonight, Kevin DeMatteo, who, of course, as I mentioned before, had previously hired Ryan Routh.
00:40:41.000And he's going to share some eye-opening information about the kind of person who Ryan was and also just how this really came out of nowhere.
00:40:50.000According to Kevin, you're going to hear his story about working with Ryan Routh.
00:40:55.000I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed, and that's, of course, Brightcore.
00:41:00.000And the product that I want to share with you tonight Is Brightcore Revive.
00:41:04.000You saw that I had the founder of Brightcore on my show a couple weeks ago.
00:41:09.000And what I really like about Brightcore Revive here, it's a collagen supplement.
00:41:15.000And people always ask me, oh your hair looks really shiny.
00:41:18.000You can see it looks pretty shiny here with the red.
00:41:20.000And people will say, oh your nails look so nice all the time.
00:41:24.000Well, I didn't always used to have nice nails and my hair used to be a little bit brittle and over time, I realized that I needed to start incorporating collagen into my diet because collagen, it strengthens your hair, it helps improve your skin and it also makes your nails grow longer.
00:41:41.000And so, what I really like about the Revive Collagen is, like I said before, it enhances skin elasticity.
00:43:11.000It's a refreshing drink, and not only is it refreshing, you can even, in the flavorless one, you can put it in your coffee.
00:43:18.000You can mix it in anything, but this, of course, the strawberry lemonade, you'd probably just want to drink in a cup of water.
00:43:24.000Very easy to use, again, Revive from Brightcore, and they have a special offer for all of the Lumer Unleashed viewers, so you can go to mybrightcore.com, mybrightcore.com, and you can use discount code LUMER at the checkout, mybrightcore.com slash LUMER, mybrightcore.com slash LUMER, use discount code LUMER at checkout, and you will get 25% off.

00:44:00.000And so if you're somebody that, you don't even have to be a woman.

00:44:27.000We're going to be joined by Kevin DeMatteo any moment now, but I want to go back to that article before we're joined by him showing you these messages.
00:44:48.000I am a recruiter for Ukraine and I have thousands of Afghan NATO trained soldiers who are begging to become police in Haiti at an extremely economical price.
00:44:59.000His connections for a guy who claimed to only be living off of $3,000 a month are pretty, pretty extreme.
00:45:06.000And so you have to ask yourself, well, how did this guy get all these connections in Ukraine and with Haiti and Afghanistan and Pakistan?
00:45:15.000And a lot of people have been asking the question, is this guy some type of asset?
00:45:19.000Is he some type of asset with the CIA?
00:45:24.000And How does he have all of these connections in Ukraine?
00:45:27.000And how is he actually photographed with several Biden administration officials?
00:45:32.000And so it's not like this is some random guy.
00:45:35.000He has photographs with a celebrity chef who has cooked for the Bidens and the Obamas and the Clintons and...
00:45:42.000Very, very strange behavior, and we're going to show you tonight, after this interview with Kevin DeMatteo, you're going to see for yourself, well, how the media had actually profiled, they actually profiled Ryan Routh several times.
00:45:55.000But without further ado, joining me now is the former employer of Ryan Routh, the would-be assassin who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump on Sunday at his golf club.
00:46:08.000Kevin, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
00:46:11.000It's a pleasure to have you here on Lumer Unleashed for your exclusive interview.
00:46:15.000You haven't gone to any other publications with this story, and we're blessed to have you here with us tonight so that we're the first that you could share it with.
00:46:25.000Well, Laura, it's very nice to be on your platform.
00:46:30.000Certainly didn't expect to have this kind of exposure, but as we'll share In the coming minutes, it was truly a jaw-dropping shock for me to wake up, see newspapers and news reports, print and electronic, how this gentleman, who I knew fairly well in Greensboro in the early to mid-90s,
00:47:02.000Yeah, so why don't you walk us through this because that's what people had said.
00:47:06.000And of course, uh, when, you know, there's still an active investigation, but what we know is that he's living in Hawaii.
00:47:12.000He's here now and his home and his car are in Honolulu, Hawaii.
00:47:17.000But prior to that, of course, and prior to coming to Florida where he tried to kill Donald Trump, he was living in, in, uh, you said North Carolina, correct?
00:47:28.000Yes, that was Greensboro, North Carolina.
00:47:32.000And so tell us if you can, just kind of start to finish, how you came into contact with him and the specific years and really, you know, what he was like and what went through your head.
00:47:44.000I'd just like to state for your viewers that I come from a very apolitical position here.
00:47:51.000This has nothing to do with ideology, with political parties, with any of that that's going on in the airwaves today, electronic and print.
00:48:01.000I came to know Ryan, I called him Ryan Man, in the early 90s in Greensboro.
00:48:08.000At the time, we had a company here in Greensboro, property management and a construction company.
00:48:17.000We were renovating apartments and we were building new condos adjacent to that.
00:48:24.000And I came to know Ryan actually through his wife, I believe, as she was doing some bookkeeping for the property management firm.
00:48:34.000And when she let me know that her husband, you know, was a very, uh, successful handyman, if you will.
00:49:07.000You said that you came into contact with him through his wife, who, of course, was doing some bookkeeping for your business, and she had, what, just said, oh, my husband does some handiwork, or how did you come into touch with him, and what kind of work was he doing for you?
00:49:22.000Because I know you said that his wife had introduced you, but what was the extent of the work?
00:50:30.000And personally, the times I've been to their home, the times we spent together on the job, a guy who... Laura, this is a perfect scenario for me to share again with your listeners.
00:50:48.000How you never know the person next door.
00:50:52.000This person was all American apple pie.
00:51:34.000But I'm saying to myself, wait, you know, this Ryan, Ryan Greensboro?
00:51:39.000And yeah, the dots got connected and flabbergasted to hear some of the things that the reports are saying with his involvement with Afghanistan, Ukraine, you know, the horrible, horrible stories.
00:52:00.000Again, my position, non-political, I've got no ideological thing here.
00:52:05.000This is a person who I knew who you wouldn't at all, for one minute, consider could perform these kind of acts, certainly learn more about him in the last 48 hours, but just how and when
00:52:28.000Did this transition take place is what I've been kind of stretching my mind on because I left Greensboro in 2000 and moved down to Palm Beach.
00:52:43.000So it's totally, you know, separate and time gone, sold properties.
00:52:51.000So for 30, 25 years now, I've been down here, no connection, no communication.
00:52:58.000With the Roots, with his wife, or with Ryan.
00:53:05.000What really I think your listeners need to understand from someone who was in the crosshairs, or not in the crosshairs, but in the company of someone like this, that can become radicalized in a way that wants to take out The Commander-in-Chief, the former Commander-in-Chief, the former President.
00:53:29.000I understand also he had other designs and he had his crosshairs on other political figures.
00:53:35.000But when I left Greensboro, absolutely no sign of a darkness or a clouded, a penchant for firearms, political positions at that time.
00:53:53.000We never Never talked about stuff like that.
00:53:59.000I don't know, but when I first heard it, I said to myself, wow.
00:54:07.000It wasn't until I contacted a family member who's a retired law enforcement federal agent, and I said, what do you think I should do?
00:54:17.000And I was on the fence, you know, as to whether or not I wanted to put my head above the waterline, so to speak.
00:54:25.000And he said, call the Secret Service right now.
00:54:30.000And that's what gave me the impetus to pick up the phone and to dial the Secret Service.
00:54:35.000I talked with the local agent here in the West Palm Beach office.
00:55:27.000and his posts online show that he was a Biden-Harris supporter.
00:55:31.000He even had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck in Honolulu.
00:55:35.000We've seen from the screenshots of the photos that have been taken outside of his home.
00:55:40.000And so did he ever make any politically charged comments to you?
00:55:44.000I can't say, of course, again, 30 years ago.
00:55:48.000I might have mentioned to you before the show here that we did have a fundraiser at our family home in Greensboro for Jesse Helms, who was a rather right-wing, well, right-of-center USA.
00:56:06.000And we had a fundraiser at our home, and Vice President Daniel Quayle came.
00:56:12.000And a lot of friends in town were, oh, I'd love to meet Dan Quayle.
00:56:17.000I had to remind him it was a fundraiser.
00:56:20.000You'd be prepared to pay a $500 ticket to come to the show.
00:56:26.000And he kind of pressed me on it, and I never really thought of it.
00:56:31.000But as a handyman, he was volunteering his services to maybe work around the house.
00:56:37.000At this point, the Secret Service set up command centers like they do for presidential.
00:56:48.000It kind of dawned on me that he kind of pressed it, but again, I cannot say in any definitive way that he made any insinuations or any comments about his political stripes.
00:57:25.000And again, it wasn't until 2000 that I left Greensboro.
00:57:29.000Again, with no contact whatsoever with the Rus, either his wife or himself from that point forward. - What else can you tell us about his personal life I mean, you said that his wife worked for you and that you were at their house for dinner.
00:58:04.000But at that time, they just had their baby boy.
00:58:09.000And there was no signs, there was no triggers that ever, in a million years, would lead me to believe that this is the kind of person that would try to take out A former president of the United States.
00:58:26.000It's still, as we speak, I get goosebumps knowing that I was in the company of this gentleman.
00:58:37.000I can't imagine what his life is like now, but whatever he's going to be facing, I think most would agree, it's probably very well deserved.
00:58:54.000I guess now that you have had this, I guess you could say a surprise moment.
00:58:59.000You said that you woke up and your jaw hit the floor.
00:59:01.000I guess it really just goes to show you that you have no idea who you could have inside your home or who you could have working for you or who your next door neighbor could be.
00:59:11.000I mean, you're basically telling us that this guy who appears to be a total lunatic online and Uh, has really crazy political views and has a very long-standing criminal record that, uh, he appeared to be totally normal.
00:59:25.000And so what I'm trying to understand is where, where did his criminals, where did his criminal history pick up?
00:59:31.000Cause you're telling us that you were not aware of anything when he was working for you in the nineties, but we're seeing that this guy was a convicted felon.
00:59:38.000Were you aware of any felonies when he was working for you?
00:59:42.000I don't think we did a criminal check on him.
00:59:44.000But again, to wake up and see this stuff, okay?
00:59:51.000Again, the impetus that made me want to take your call and be invited on your show was, if anything, to shed some light on drawing a line in the sand where someone that knew him quite well, that worked for me, as did his wife,
01:00:13.000Back in the 91, 92, 93, mid-90s, had absolutely no spots or stripes when it came to what he became.
01:00:42.000I think that's a question that we'll all learn quite soon when they do a full investigation on his movements and his electronic footprint, phones and Facebook and Internet.
01:01:00.000You know, I think they're pulling all that together now.
01:01:02.000And just to repeat, to draw the line in the sand that up until 93 or 94, This is a guy you trust babysitting for you, he and his wife.
01:02:30.000I hope to hell he gets the help he needs.
01:02:36.000And I hope he gets the justice he deserves.
01:02:40.000Yeah, I mean it looks like hopefully he spends the rest of his life in prison because he can't be going around trying to assassinate the President of the United States with an AK-47, but there's so many unanswered questions and hopefully we get some answers because, well, we know that we're living in a country with a weaponized justice system and We shall see.
01:03:02.000It's a very scary time to be a conservative and a Trump supporter in our country.
01:03:07.000But, Kevin, any last words you want to share with the viewers?
01:03:13.000Yeah, well, I mean, since this has broken and since I've presented myself to you and your platform here tonight, I am getting an incoming from friends in Greensboro.
01:03:28.000And should there be any other light, should we be able to shed any other light from any other perspective?
01:03:37.000And by the way, outside of my call to the Secret Service, at the behest of my family member, law enforcement, retired fellow, I am not talking to any media.
01:03:51.000You know, I wasn't looking to throw Red meat into the news platforms, the Foxes, the NBC, the ABC.
01:05:41.000And for all intents and purposes, I'd like to think that it escaped him until something came knocking on his door.
01:05:52.000And he turned the page and reinvented himself to who he is today.
01:06:03.000Well, thank you so much for coming on my show.
01:06:05.000I really appreciate you taking time to share your insights and also share some background information about this guy because, well, from the looks of it, he just looks to be a total nutjob online.
01:06:16.000And so it's interesting that you're saying that he was kind of normal several years ago, 30 years ago, because it makes you wonder what was the thing that made him snap or what was it that radicalized him?
01:06:28.000Because he truly is a radical individual.
01:06:32.000And after my departure from Greensboro, as I said, in 2000, but I understand he did move to Hawaii in 2017, so somewhere he equipped himself with this mindset.
01:06:51.000I'm not defending this fella, but all I'm trying to do is to share with your listeners on your platform How you just never know who your neighbor is or who your best friend is or who your employee is until you read about it in worldwide headlines like we are today.
01:07:32.000So it's really interesting because all we've seen online about this guy, Ryan Routh, is that he's a radical.
01:07:38.000Let's play some of these videos, too, as I was talking about before.
01:07:43.000Usually when somebody commits a crime, something like this, or there's an attempted assassination, people are like, well, we don't really know about him, just like this kid.
01:07:53.000Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:07:57.000Oh, he was kind of a nerd in high school.
01:07:59.000But with this guy, he has a very prevalent social media, uh.
01:08:04.000Presence and he appears to be a recruiter for Ukraine.
01:08:08.000But what's even more shocking is that over the last year or two years, 2022, 2023, really beginning of 2024, media outlets had actually interviewed him.
01:08:19.000And I'm not just talking about obscure media outlets.
01:08:22.000You have reporters from CBS News who talk about the fact that they profiled him.
01:08:26.000New York Times actually profiled Ryan Routh about his activities in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
01:08:35.000So we're going to play some of these clips for you so that you can see these interviews and these statements from the reporters themselves.
01:08:41.000Ryan Ruth was the suspect in an alleged assassination attempt on former President Trump.
01:08:46.000I immediately recognized the name because I had been in touch with Ryan Ruth for over a year in the early stages of the war in Ukraine.
01:08:53.000Like thousands of other international volunteers, he apparently went to Ukraine to help.
01:08:58.000I don't believe that he was fighting himself, but he had put up signs in Kiev, Ukraine's capital, offering to help other foreigners find places in Ukrainian battalions.
01:09:07.000And that's how I initially came across him.
01:09:09.000I spoke with him, I think, once on the phone and texted frequently, and he put me in touch with several foreign fighters.
01:09:16.000Now, he seemed very genuine and passionate about supporting Ukraine.
01:09:20.000He mentioned plans to bring in thousands of Afghan and Syrian fighters, which I took, frankly, with a grain of salt.
01:09:28.000In an interview with the news website Semaphore, he claimed he'd been unable to get visas for Afghan fighters, but we don't know if he was actually in touch with any Ukrainian officials at all.
01:09:39.000Now, I've met American volunteers everywhere from Syria to Ukraine.
01:09:43.000Some are experienced soldiers and clear about the dangers they're facing, but others seem less well informed and their motivations can be quite confused.
01:09:51.000To be honest, Ryan Ruth did at times seem fairly naive.
01:09:56.000At one point he sent me an audio track of a song he'd apparently recorded about the carnage caused by the war in Ukraine.
01:10:02.000In November of last year, he told me he was back in the US, in Hawaii, and that was the last time I heard from him.
01:10:16.000Additionally, Ryan Routh had actually appeared in a recruitment video for the Azov Battalion I believe we have that video, too.
01:10:25.000And really just shocking stuff because, as you know, the Azov Battalion, the Azov Battalion are Ukrainian Nazis.
01:10:33.000And it was Joe Biden's State Department under Antony Blinken that signed off on on giving weapons to the Azov Battalion.
01:10:42.000So our own government is providing weapons to Ukrainian Nazis.
01:10:46.000And so the fact that this guy was so publicized and they profiled him in CBS and New York Times, and after we show you this recruitment video for Azov Battalion, I'll show you this Newsweek interview.
01:11:00.000But you can see who this guy is because the mainstream media is not showing you these interviews because, well, why would the mainstream media want to highlight the fact that they profiled and had communication with the guy that almost tried to assassinate Donald Trump?
01:11:14.000So let's go ahead and play this clip. - I am grateful to everyone who goes to the actions in Ukraine and in the world today.
01:11:30.000To everyone who understands how critical the situation is in Mariupol.
01:11:33.000To everyone who shouts about Mariupol.
01:11:36.000Every day on Azovstal are new deaths and new wounded who have no opportunity to be treated here.
01:11:43.000The attention of the whole world is now tied to Mariupol and Azov-Stal.
01:11:48.000We need to make a green corridor for the evacuation of our wounded.
01:11:52.000We need to immediately provide them with qualified medical assistance.
01:11:56.000Believe me, these guys deserve evacuation.
01:11:59.000Let us also take the bodies of our deceased comrades.
01:12:02.000We call on the whole civilized world to join the guarantee of safety and evacuation of our soldiers, who have made it impossible and continue to protect the homeland, which must do everything to ensure that these heroes can return to their families alive.
01:12:17.000There may be no other way to save the lives of people on Azovstal.
01:12:26.000of the people of the army who are now in the city of MarÃupol, we will return to our President.
01:12:33.000Valdemir Alexandrovich, please, go to the UNO's representatives and put the records of our wounded, the military garnizone, and take the bodies of the people of the people.
01:12:48.000All the families and all the Ukraine will ask you to do this.
01:13:27.000What organization with a demand to provide a green corridor, an evacuation of all survivors?
01:13:36.000So how did this guy go from being apolitical to not talking politics and being normal, as Kevin described him, and not engaging in criminal activity and not engaging in criminal activity to becoming a convicted felon with a rap sheet and then becoming a mercenary in Ukraine.
01:14:20.000Please tell me who you are and why are you here?
01:14:23.000Uh, 56 from the U S U S, uh, from North Carolina.
01:14:28.000Originally, so I live in Hawaii now, so flew all the way from Hawaii here.
01:14:31.000So, the question as far as why I'm here, to me, you know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white.
01:14:43.000This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.
01:14:49.000I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and And generous and unselfish and take care of one another and it's just a matter of, you know, we need to stand up for that.
01:15:06.000That is the most important thing in the world is just to show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united so that we feed each other and make sure that, you know, we all move forward as one collective whole unit.
01:15:22.000So, you know, we feel the pain of one country's failure and their conflicts and We enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together and for some reason Russia does not grasp this concept that we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and be normal human beings.
01:15:49.000It seems asinine that we have a leader in a country that does not understand the concept of Of being unselfish and being generous and being kind and just the basic moral values that are required by human beings these days.
01:16:38.000So plan B was to come here to Kiev and promote getting more people here.
01:16:43.000You know, we need thousands and thousands and thousands of people here fighting with the Ukrainians.
01:16:48.000We need, we need, you know, we've got 190 countries around the world and we need thousands from all of them.
01:16:56.000If the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen.
01:17:03.000And we've gotten some wonderful people here, but it's a small fraction of the number that should be here.
01:17:09.000If we have 5,000, you know, to 10,000 people here fighting, you know, that is just a minuscule amount of the 5 billion people on the globe.
01:17:19.000You know, we need everyone here fighting.
01:17:57.000If everybody is complacent and doesn't join this fight, then guess who's going to win?
01:18:03.000It might take 10 years, but we're going to lose this battle if everyone around the globe does not stop what they're doing, get off the couch, and come to Ukraine and defend the human rights of everyone around the globe.
01:18:16.000This is the most important thing going on in the world today.
01:18:20.000So, sitting around and letting life go on as normal and complaining about gas prices and complaining about, you know, your luxury life in whatever country you live in, is unacceptable.
01:18:31.000As human beings, we must support each other.
01:18:34.000We cannot turn our backs on anyone around the world and expect the problem to go away.
01:18:40.000So, I've been dealing with Russia for my entire life, you know.
01:18:44.000We had one period where it was okay, but now we've let it slip back into into terrorism, so it's just the world needs to respond.
01:18:54.000You know, why world leaders are not sending military is beyond me.
01:18:59.000We're going to have to elect new leaders the next go-around that have a backbone and that, you know, have the fortitude to say, hey, we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior.
01:19:09.000This type of behavior is unacceptable anywhere, anywhere, anyplace, you know?
01:19:16.000And why people are not responding, I do not know.
01:19:20.000What impressed you the most since you are here?
01:19:25.000My trip to Irpin was pretty emotional.
01:19:28.000So, you know, going and seeing the buildings that were burned and destroyed and things of that nature.
01:19:35.000I think more emotional for me also is just talking to the guys that have come here.
01:19:41.000You know, when you talk to a 20-year-old guy that sold everything he owns to come here and fight, that is heroism.
01:19:50.000You know, he's coming here to risk his life for humanity, for the Ukrainians.
01:19:54.000You know, guys that sell everything they own to come here and support the Ukrainians while others sit at home and do nothing.
01:20:03.000You know, it's totally mind-blowing how we have this divide of people that are selfless and courageous and wonderful.
01:20:14.000And willing to sell everything they own to come here and support, you know, keep people from getting killed, to shelter kids and protect Ukrainians, and others that just, you know, want to sit at home and not.
01:20:27.000It's just, it, you know, it's an indictment of our entire human society to say, hey, you know, where do we stand?
01:20:53.000You know, by our actions and what we do.
01:20:56.000And you know, when I call back home and say, hey, I need five bucks so I can put enough money together to get a vest for a Ukrainian, and I get no response.
01:21:03.000I'm like, I'm not sure that the world is as wonderful as I once thought it was.
01:21:09.000I had thought that everyone would respond, you know, very generously and unselfishly and, you know, you don't have to come.
01:21:17.000But, you know, if I asked for five dollars to buy a vest to save a Ukrainian life, it seems like that would be a no-brainer.
01:21:29.000I mean this guy has been completely radicalized into thinking that he has to actually go and prove that he is a good part of humanity and he's urging American citizens to go risk their lives to get involved in a foreign conflict that we really have no business getting involved in and of course
01:21:50.000He went from being just kind of a quiet guy, working on roofs, doing handyman work, to actively recruiting people, American citizens and other soldiers, people from around the world, as I said before, Afghanistan and Pakistan, to go fight in Ukraine.
01:22:07.000And the question is, is who's funding him?
01:22:09.000And how did he Get connected with Newsweek and the New York Times and CBS News and all these different outlets.
01:22:17.000We have another clip of him saying that he's looking for revolutionaries to take the whole system down.
01:24:21.000citizen who set up the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine to help connect foreigners to Ukrainian military units.
01:24:27.000I'm talking to over a hundred soldiers every day and pretty much everybody, all of my contacts in Ukraine, they were adamant and pretty much yelled at me every time that I suggested that we bring in Afghans.
01:24:39.000The Ukrainian government didn't respond to our request for comment, but a source close to the officials in Kiev told Semaphore that their top concern is the question of loyalty in the thick fog of war.
01:24:56.000Russia's notorious private military group, Wagner, has reportedly begun recruiting Afghan commandos.
01:25:02.000Semaphore reviewed these text messages from Afghan soldiers, which tell the same story.
01:25:14.000Semaphore, New York Times, CBS, Newsweek.
01:25:17.000I mean, how many media outlets are going to talk to this guy in the years leading up to the attempted assassination of President Trump?
01:25:25.000And then we find out during the press conference the other day outside of West Palm Beach, Florida, with the FBI and the Martin County Sheriff's Office that the FBI had this guy on their radar since 2019.
01:25:37.000If they had him on their radar since 2019 and they knew he was a convicted felon, then why wasn't he ever arrested for possessing a weapon?
01:25:44.000And why wasn't he arrested beforehand?
01:25:49.000President Trump met with the deputies who apprehended Ryan Rouse today at Mar-a-Lago.
01:26:28.000And we actually have the body cam footage that has been released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office of them apprehending and arresting Ryan Rutherford.
01:27:16.000Now after the second attempted assassination on his life, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to release a statement in which he actually condemned Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's rhetoric, blaming their rhetoric for the type of incitement to violence that he's being subjected to, right?
01:27:32.000All this talk about how he's a threat to democracy and he's a dictator and how at the end of America, as we know it, if he gets elected as president and so All these Democrats took to social media to give their fake thoughts and prayers about Donald Trump and say, oh, well, political violence has no place in our country.
01:27:52.000And yet at the same time, they couldn't help themselves from posting negative, nasty things about Donald Trump.
01:27:57.000Well, in the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination.
01:28:01.000So here's a clip from Hillary Clinton, who just after Donald Trump had almost been assassinated, she went on MSNBC to Continue the talking points that he is a threat to democracy.
01:28:14.000And boosting Trump back in 2016, but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence because
01:28:38.000She's calling for people to be charged for misinformation while she's spewing misinformation about Donald Trump being, well, a threat to democracy.
01:28:48.000If you speak out against the government, they want to jail you.
01:28:51.000If you criticize their policies, they want to call you A proponent of misinformation if you say that they are the ones inciting violence and as you just saw Hillary Clinton who almost became President of the United States wants to jail people for misinformation aka support of President Donald Trump.
01:29:09.000It got worse because today during the White House press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre, who just days ago was attacking me and Donald Trump, accusing me of being a racist conspiracy theorist, she again doubled down and said that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy today and said that it was Donald Trump's rhetoric that was inciting violence.
01:30:23.000And the president has also said when it comes to, you know, violent rhetoric, we've got to bring the temperature down.
01:30:29.000You heard that directly from this president.
01:30:32.000And it is not the time to tear Americans apart.
01:30:35.000We cannot do that or divide our country.
01:30:38.000The President and the Vice President is always going to call that out.
01:30:41.000But they have been very clear, very forceful on condemning any form of political violence.
01:30:47.000So do the President and Vice President believe that the kind of language that Trump used in those comments I just said are contributing to the tension and divisiveness you just talked about?
01:30:59.000Be really clear, and we've always have been, it is important to bring down the temperature, to bring that temperature down of that political violent rhetoric.
01:31:12.000And we believe, this president believes, let's not forget why he decided to run in 2020, was about that, was about making sure that we bring the country together, that we bring people together, and it was not about dividing.
01:31:26.000And so We're going to continue to be very, very clear about that.
01:31:30.000We're going to continue to call that out.
01:31:58.000He thinks both sides should be very clear about that.
01:32:01.000It's not just the president or the vice president.
01:32:05.000Every leader, national leader, or any leader in this country should be calling out political violence and bringing the country together, not dividing it.
01:32:14.000Just to clarify, so you're saying that the President and Vice President believe that former President Donald Trump should be toning down his rhetoric?
01:32:42.000Some of you were there at the Capitol.
01:32:44.000Some of you have colleagues who were there at the Capitol, reported and saw what happened.
01:32:50.000Angry people went there to try to overturn a free and fair election.
01:32:54.000And so it's not going to stop the President and the Vice President to call out, to continue to strongly call out when it comes to protecting our democracy.
01:33:50.000Well, oh yeah, that's a Biden-Harris bumper sticker.
01:33:53.000You're going to have to zoom in a little bit more because, well, that's a bit of a Blurred photo, but there's another photo that I had actually posted online.
01:34:04.000Let's go ahead and play the YouTube video right there in the article.
01:34:10.000You can see that he's a Biden-Harris supporter, and where's the media condemning that type of political violence?
01:34:15.000Well, they don't even want to talk about that.
01:34:19.000We're going to get a clear photo since that one's a bit blurred, but you can read that National Pulse article I posted about this as well on my Twitter account.
01:34:59.000Like I said, pretty kind, uh, uh, I've traveled a lot for work and, uh, my wife has been here You know, on her own, and most of the neighbors around here have taken good care of her, and he's been one of them, like, never mean-spirited and always welcoming, just in general.
01:35:19.000Every interaction we had with him was very welcoming and kind.
01:35:26.000I mean, it's just, we heard the news today and it's just been very surprising and, you know, obviously it sounds like it's an alleged occurrence, but, you know, the officials do their diligence in finding out what really happened, but if he did have anything to do with it, it's very shocking to us, certainly.
01:35:50.000You clearly see the Biden-Harris bumper sticker there, but, uh, well, no mention of that, right?
01:35:57.000No mention of that because, well, the media doesn't want to talk about the fact that one of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' own supporters tried to assassinate Donald Trump, just like one of their supporters tried to assassinate him on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:36:10.000Both Thomas Matthew Crooks and This guy.
01:36:36.000These are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris supporters.
01:36:38.000And so again, once again, they want to say that there's no room for political violence, but they don't actually want to identify the fact that these people are their supporters.
01:36:48.000There's a lot of people in the media who refuse to check themselves and their rhetoric, but there was one person who surprisingly actually came out on the record and apologized to Donald Trump for his years of inciting this type of rhetoric.
01:37:02.000And I don't really know if I believe Chris Cuomo.
01:37:04.000I kind of think that he's trying to ingratiate himself back in with the right after he was fired, I believe, from CNN or left CNN.
01:37:14.000I don't really think that he's genuine.
01:37:17.000I think that there's a lot of people that are trying to rebrand themselves and you have people on the right that are trying to sell out Trump because they think Kamala is going to get in and they're trying to ingratiate themselves with the left.
01:37:27.000That's what you have people like Marjorie Taylor Green and Lindsey Graham doing.
01:37:31.000You saw this week they condemned me and use those those words like racist and bigot because they are going around.
01:37:38.000Well, I know Marjorie specifically has been telling people in Georgia that she doesn't think that that Trump can win, right?
01:37:44.000And so she's hoping that she can ingratiate herself with the Democrats and try to get some type of position or some type of cover, because we all know that they're going to come after all of us when Donald Trump, you know, if he doesn't get in, if he doesn't get in.
01:37:59.000I mean, look, if he doesn't get in, that's the end of our country as we know it.
01:38:02.000So I believe that Donald Trump is going to win.
01:38:05.000But if they are successful in stealing this election, And when they are successful in jailing Donald Trump, which is what they will 100% do, if they steal this election and they don't kill him beforehand, we already know they're trying to kill him.
01:38:24.000Well, they're going to come after all of us.
01:38:26.000So part of me wonders if some of these leftists who are now speaking out in support of Trump are simply just doing so because, well, they've seen the writing on the wall, and they know that they're going to kind of be kept at a distance.
01:38:40.000Or in the case of somebody like a Mark Zuckerberg, for example, maybe he's worried that he's going to be jailed for election interference.
01:43:42.000I want to think he's genuine, I really do.
01:43:44.000But he spent years at CNN spreading lies about the Russia conspiracy hoax and demonizing Donald Trump, calling him a dictator, making accusations that he's Hitler, and just now, all of a sudden?
01:43:59.000I think they're, you know, where was this outrage after the first attempted assassination?
01:44:03.000Where was the outrage when they impeached President Trump and they demonized him and people were spreading death threats against him and his supporters?
01:44:11.000I want to believe Chris Cuomo, but there's just something so disingenuous about somebody who only now, only now is saying that Well, maybe it went a bit too far.
01:45:47.000Telling the media they've gone too far, inciting violence, and he's probably trying to dissociate himself from it because, well, he's worked for, he worked for CNN, the biggest perpetrators of this, along with MSNBC.
01:46:43.000Makes you really wonder what their true agenda is.
01:46:47.000Perhaps I'm too cynical, but I just don't really trust any of these people, left or right, so that's why I like sticking to myself, to be honest, because you can't trust anybody.
01:47:29.000Or are you just worried that he's going to win?
01:47:34.000Before we continue, and I get to your questions in the chat, I want to take a moment to thank the second sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed, and that, of course, is 1775 Coffee.
01:47:45.000Did you know that 45% of the coffee you drink could be loaded with mold toxins, and even after roasting, a lot of that still makes it into your cup?
01:47:52.000Well, at 1775 Coffee, we know that you deserve better.
01:48:00.000I actually Promote products that I personally utilize and personally drink, so it's a little cold now because I've been sitting here for the last hour and a half, but I'm drinking out of my Donald Trump Never Surrender Cup.
01:48:14.0001775 beans are grown high in the Bolivian mountains, where the cooler climate slows growth, producing dense, bold flavors.
01:48:20.000Only 30% of the world's coffee is single origin like ours.
01:48:24.000And when you choose 1775 coffee, you're getting real quality coffee without the mold and the nonsense.
01:48:38.000But I was at the grocery store and I grabbed some of that pumpkin spice creamer.
01:48:43.000I'm not really a pumpkin spice person but there was something about it that made me want to buy it.
01:48:48.000So I'm drinking my 1775 coffee and I flavored it tonight with just a little bit of pumpkin spice.
01:48:55.000What I really like about 1775 Coffee is it stands for equality, freedom, and rejecting the corporate nonsense that's taken over the coffee industry.
01:49:04.000So if you're ready for a real cup of coffee, visit 1775Coffee.com slash Loomer.

01:49:39.000And that's why it's important for you to support the sponsors of Lumer Unleashed because, well, without your support of my sponsors, then I don't really have a show, do I?
01:49:47.000So that's why I'm able to provide you with unfiltered and uncensored truth, and I'm able to bring you all of this information that I probably wouldn't be able to bring you if I worked for a mainstream media outlet, but let's be honest, they would never hire me anyway because, well, they all hate me.
01:50:01.000I mean, we all saw that this week, so I'm probably the most hated woman in America right now.
01:50:26.000When you're banned and when you're silenced and when you're attacked in the media for like 10 years straight you just get used to it and after a while you realize you can't depend on anybody and it's better to live your life totally alone.
01:50:38.000I've realized that it's better to live your life totally isolated and totally alone from all these people because everybody is fake.
01:50:48.000Personally, I don't like leaving my house.
01:50:50.000I prefer just staying at home with my animals and doing my work and I don't really like leaving.
01:50:56.000I mean, I've gotten to the point where I just like ordering all my own groceries and having things delivered and I don't leave my place unless I absolutely need to leave my place because I just don't like people.
01:51:07.000There's something about working in media and there's something about working in politics that makes you just really Not like people and especially with how cowardly people are and just how they just succumb to pressure.
01:51:20.000I just don't like being around people.
01:52:06.000I used to work for him, and I was his communications director when I stopped doing undercover work for Project Veritas.
01:52:11.000And so I actually got to, you know, I had to communicate with the media and talk to a lot of these people when I was promoting the work for Project Veritas.
01:52:20.000And I just, I got to meet so many people from different news networks.
01:52:24.000And they say to you, like, you never want to meet your heroes.
01:52:27.000You think that these people that you grow up watching and looking at on Fox News or on the TV are great people, and they're not.
01:52:33.000I mean, I'm telling you, they are the worst people.
01:52:36.000The worst people you're ever going to meet in your life are people in politics and media.
01:52:48.000If I could just sit at home and broadcast all of my work and, you know, and break stories and break news and never have to interact with another person in my life, oh my god, I would just be the happiest person ever.
01:53:02.000Hopefully it gets to that point one of these days because this week was just another affirmation of how much I just don't like people.
01:53:14.000Figured I would tell you all how awful these people are because You notice they don't like me for a reason.
01:53:31.000And everybody in the media is so wishy-washy.
01:53:34.000Like, one minute they hate Trump, one minute they love Trump, and one minute they're a leftist, one minute they're on the right.
01:53:39.000They just move wherever they want to go for the sake of making money and, you know, gaining gaining favor with whoever's going to be writing them a check.
01:53:53.000I'd rather I'd rather have no money and at least have my integrity and know that I'm a genuine person and an honest person than have to be around these people.
01:54:03.000So they're just not very pleasant people.
01:55:13.000Somebody said, I'm very upset that they're causing President Donald Trump to almost be killed and nothing is done to make them be held accountable and shut their mouths to cause the death, Yeah, it's absolutely out of control.
01:55:30.000I mean, the fact that they're able to go on TV and pretend like, oh, well, You guys, we've got to tone down the rhetoric.
01:55:37.000We have to just completely tone it down because, well, it's getting too hot in here and, well, we can't afford to have any more bullets flying.
01:55:44.000And then the next words out of their mouth are, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
01:56:53.000Speaking of ABC, I see some of you guys are asking me what I think about ABC.
01:56:58.000It's really interesting, isn't it, how ABC News has been so quiet about this affidavit that came out alleging that, well, from a whistleblower, alleging that they actually gave the questions to Kamala Harris before the debate.
01:57:12.000And David Muir, of course, and Lindsay Davis, they were so cocky during the debate.
01:57:17.000They were trying to fact check Donald Trump and now really it's just blown back in their faces so much because well, there's police reports coming out of Springfield, Ohio that show that people are actually having their Petsy in and now let's get this New York Post article up to David Mears.
01:57:33.000Viewership is down by 12% and that's a lot.
01:57:37.000I mean you're talking about a show on a mainstream media network to have a 12% decline in one week because of the way that he has.
01:57:51.000I wouldn't even call it fact-checking because it wasn't fact-checking.
01:57:54.000It was a manipulation and it was an abuse of power as a moderator.
01:57:57.000It was a way to intervene to support Kamala Harris.
01:58:02.000So here we have this report from the New York Post.
01:58:04.000ABC's David Mears sees newscast ratings tank after his controversial debate moderating.
01:58:12.000Let's get this, uh, let's see right here.
01:58:13.000ABC's World News Tonight anchor David Muir may have driven away some viewers after the Disney-owned network irked conservatives during last week's presidential debate.
01:58:22.000Muir and co-moderator Lindsay Davis fact-checked former President Donald Trump five times without ever correcting Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting a plethora of conservatives to suggest the debate wasn't fair.
01:58:35.000Susan B. Anthony, Pro-Life America, even called for a correction after Davis made an abortion claim made during the debate during one of the fact checks on Trump that said the group was 100% inaccurate.
01:58:46.000Mirror's World News Tonight averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the three episodes following, averaging 7.6 million.
01:58:56.000Leading up to the debate, the 12% drop in viewers for World News Tonight is more significant than slight declines CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News saw when comparing the three episodes.
01:59:07.000So clearly he's taken a blow to his credibility because, well, he's a liar and he is dishonest.
01:59:16.000And we've seen now that they lied about everything that they fact-checked President Trump on.
01:59:20.000And again, this is just another reason why would you want to work in the mainstream media?
01:59:24.000Why would you want to work for a mainstream media network when these are the types of people that we're dealing with here, right?
01:59:36.000Why wouldn't you just want to stay home as a journalist and do your own stories and go out on your own dime or with the support of your supporters?
01:59:45.000I mean, what a miserable existence to have to work with people like this who lie for a living, who cause so much division and strife in our country so that they can make millions of dollars a year.
02:00:32.000I don't know if he switched his affiliation to the Republican Party.
02:00:35.000But regardless, he's very outspoken, and I'm quite fond of him.
02:00:41.000And he tweeted, Dear Bob, I assume that you have been made aware of this affidavit, which was made public earlier today, in which a whistleblower states that ABC worked closely with the Kamala Harris campaign in sharing the substance of the questions, avoiding certain topics, and agreeing on the staging, committing to fact check Donald Trump and not Harris.
02:01:04.000I find the allegations credible, as written, and also because the affidavit was apparently made and filed a day prior to the debate and makes mention of Harris-Smaller's podium and other details that only became public thereafter.
02:01:17.000While I can't determine the veracity of the allegations, they do match substantially what took place during the debate.
02:01:23.000The moderators of the debate, David Muir and also Lindsay Davis, have yet to respond to the allegations.
02:01:29.000Since they have not yet done so, one must draw a negative inference.
02:01:33.000In light of the seriousness of the allegations and the implications for this presidential election and for ABC's reputation and thereby Disney's and the office of the CEO, I strongly encourage you to launch an immediate investigation of this matter.
02:01:47.000Our democracy depends on transparency, particularly with regard to events which can impact the outcome of the presidential election.
02:01:55.000I ask on behalf of all voters that you treat these allegations with the seriousness they deserve.
02:02:22.000It was agreed that Donald Trump would be subjected to fact-checking during debate while Kamala Harris would not face comparable scrutiny, and this was widely known throughout the company that Donald Trump would be fact-checked, The Harris campaign was provided with a sample questions that, while not the exact questions, covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.
02:02:45.000No questions regarding the perceived health of Joe Biden, no inquiries related to the tenure as Attorney General in San Francisco, and no questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds.
02:03:02.000and who may be involved in her administration if she is elected.
02:04:12.000I mean, these people are just so brazen, and they have no regard for fairness.
02:04:17.000They have no regard for the American people and our election system, and all they want to do is just lie and undermine our votes while they accuse Republicans of election interference.
02:04:36.000Take a few more questions before we sign off for the night, but before that, I want to thank the third sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed and you know, I have an important message for about President Trump for all of the parents out there.
02:04:49.000So please listen up because you know, there's so many lies out there and you just need to be informed about what your children are seeing when they are watching the news or when they're on social media and they're seeing all of this anti Trump propaganda.
02:05:06.000We want to socialize children from a very young age.
02:05:09.000And as we've seen, teachers are pushing all types of propaganda on children.
02:05:13.000And so, you know, President Trump said that as part of his administration, he wants to take back America and teach our kids to love our country.
02:05:21.000And that's why it's so important that we make sure that our kids are learning the truth about President Trump and not the distorted lies that they're hearing from the mainstream media.

02:06:56.000I mean I thank God every day I'm not a parent right now because it's not that I don't want to be a parent someday.
02:07:01.000I just couldn't imagine having kids right now in such a polarized time and especially on the verge of our country becoming a communist nation.

02:10:09.000If you ever have a tip that you want to send me that you'd like me to look into.
02:10:41.000Early voting is starting in Pennsylvania.
02:10:44.000Everything is going to go downhill if Donald Trump does not get into the White House.
02:10:51.000And so I cannot emphasize that enough.
02:10:55.000We're not going to have a country, you guys.
02:10:56.000I hope that you're feeling the same levels of anxiety and same levels of stress that I'm feeling on a daily basis as we get closer to this election, because you need to internalize it.
02:11:05.000You really need to understand what's at risk here, what's at stake in our country.
02:11:09.000We're going to lose our country if Donald Trump doesn't get back in.
02:11:12.000And that's why, no matter what the media says about me, look, I learned a long time ago that I do not like people.
02:11:18.000I learned this when I was running for Congress and I was getting attacked nonstop.
02:11:23.000You know, people are very dishonest, and I can withstand the attacks.
02:11:31.000What I find to be irritating is the lack of courage.
02:11:34.000What bothers me more than getting attacked and getting smeared by the mainstream media is the cowardice that we have in our own party.
02:11:42.000People, you know, willing to throw somebody under the bus for a comment about Curry, willing to throw Donald Trump under the bus because of the lies that the mainstream media has told about him, and when Kamala Harris you know, incites violence against Donald Trump.
02:11:56.000And when the Democrats go out there and they mobilize people to carry out acts of violence against Donald Trump and his supporters, you have to wonder, what is our country going to look like if Donald Trump is killed?
02:12:09.000What is our country gonna look like if the Democrats get in?
02:12:12.000Are Republicans going to fight back Are they going to try to take their country back?
02:12:17.000Or are they just going to sit back and allow their country to become a communist country?
02:12:22.000I'm not talking about fighting back with violence.
02:12:28.000Are they going to fight back against this misinformation and the incitement of violence before it's too late?
02:12:34.000Because we're not going to have another chance to take our country back if these communists are successful in their takeover of our country.
02:12:42.000So it's disheartening to me to see people like Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Taylor Greene and others condemn me and lie about me and smear me because it just shows such a sign of weakness.
02:12:52.000And that's what I talked about in my monologue.
02:12:54.000If you're tuning in late, you can go back and you can watch my monologue from earlier tonight.
02:13:02.000And we're not just going to lose the party, which maybe wouldn't be such a bad thing if, uh, if we lost the party, but we're going to lose the country.
02:13:18.000And I just, uh, this close out seven weeks out when I see so many Republicans willing to condemn their own or, you know, to throw a fellow right winger or a fellow Trump supporter under the bus to score points with Kamala Harris and the radical left.
02:13:33.000It shows you that so many of these so-called Republican lawmakers are willing to sell you out for the sake of getting clout with the fake news media.
02:14:28.000You cannot become a state representative in modern USA without corporate sponsorship.
02:14:32.000Well, you know, look, it seems that way, right?
02:14:35.000They're all completely bought out, and that's why the media is trying to destroy Donald Trump, and that's why so many global interests are trying to sabotage this man, because he's not bought and paid for.
02:15:21.000I don't think he's genuine, and I think that he sees the writing on the wall because Donald Trump is going to win despite what the media is saying, and I think there's a lot of people that are two-faced and disingenuous who also see the writing on the wall, and they're just trying to get in now, and they're trying to... They're trying to... They're trying to save themselves because...
02:15:44.000As much as I love Donald Trump, and I love him, love him to death, I think he's great.
02:15:48.000The one thing that I wish was different about Donald Trump is I wish that he wasn't so forgiving.
02:15:56.000He's a great person, but a lot of times you have people that will lie about him and smear him and they just come back and they say one nice thing to him and he's willing to forgive them.
02:16:07.000I mean, look, I'm not able to master that type of forgiveness.
02:16:10.000I have a very hard time forgiving people.
02:16:12.000But, you know, Donald Trump is so gracious and he's such a good man that he's willing to forgive people sometimes who have said the most terrible things about him.
02:16:21.000And sometimes I think that it's a detriment because I don't really think that a lot of the people who apologize or say that they're sorry or come around to kiss his ass are genuine.
02:16:31.000So I worry at times that some people have nefarious intentions and that they're not really genuine, that they're just trying to get close to him for nefarious reasons.
02:16:41.000And so I worry that that there are people who are simply trying to use him or Get close because they're worried that they will be held accountable for their years of lies and smear campaigns and their incitements of violence.
02:17:03.000And he's willing to always give people the benefit of the doubt.
02:17:08.000You know it can it can be it can be a positive, but it can also be a negative at times Especially when you are somebody like Donald Trump who has people gunning for them literally it's hard to know who you can trust and so I just hope that Hope that there will be people around him that can help filter out the genuine people and the fake people Scroll down Yeah scroll down
02:19:11.000You want people to know that you're irreplaceable so that so that you have a purposeful life, and that's why people need to find causes that they care about.
02:19:19.000And that's why people need to find things that they are passionate about.
02:19:24.000Because well, what kind of legacy do you want to leave?
02:19:27.000We're watching the destruction of our country right now, too.
02:19:30.000What kind of legacy do you want to leave?
02:19:32.000Do you want to know that you spent your time screwing around doing nothing, or do you want to know that you gave it your all?
02:19:37.000I'm praying that Donald Trump gets into office, but God forbid he doesn't.
02:19:42.000Do you want to be one of these people that says, well, I sat on the sidelines while the communists took over America, or I actually fought back and did something?
02:19:50.000You want to have a purpose in your life.
02:19:54.000People can say that work isn't a purpose, and they can say that there's purpose in other things, but I'm of the firm belief that your resume is your purpose.
02:20:04.000Your life, your work, your work is your purpose.
02:20:08.000Some people will say that there's more to life than that, but I truly believe that at the end of the day, lots of people have kids, lots of people have people that they have in their life.
02:20:17.000They have husbands, they have wives, they have family members.
02:20:21.000Okay, yeah, like your family's gonna miss you, but everybody has their own family.
02:20:26.000Like, obviously your family will miss you someday, but like, What's your legacy?
02:20:31.000What are you actually going to be remembered for when you're, you know, on your deathbed in your 90s or, you know, your 80s or whatever it is, right?
02:22:26.000Yeah, Lindsey Graham, the guy who condemned Donald Trump after January 6 and Called for January Sixers to be jailed and said they should be hunted down, right?
02:23:31.000I go to bed and I'm like so wired when I go to bed at night because I'm like, wow, if I do go to bed, right?
02:23:36.000If I do actually manage to get three to four hours of sleep.
02:23:40.000And I'm just so upset every time I go to bed or when I wake up because you wake up and there's another controversy.
02:23:45.000You wake up and there's another attack or there's something else that's happening and it's so terrible what's happening in our country right now.
02:26:06.000The guy who has been assigned to oversee the investigation, the FBI agent, there was actually a congressional whistleblower report that was submitted about the head Miami FBI agent.
02:26:17.000I don't know if you guys have seen this.
02:26:18.000Probably not because, well, I haven't seen anybody talk about it aside from me.
02:26:25.000This guy, according to this whistleblower report, here you can scroll down, FBI agent leading investigation of Trump assassination attempt ordered by Chris Wray to delete anti-Trump posts before promotion at Miami FBI office.
02:26:38.000So according to a whistleblower report from the House Judiciary Committee, Jeffrey Veltri, he's the guy that's on the TV and he's giving the press conferences.
02:26:47.000Because the Miami office for the FBI oversees Mar-a-Lago.
02:26:52.000Mar-a-Lago is in the jurisdiction even though Mar-a-Lago is in Palm Beach.
02:26:57.000So according to this whistleblower that was this report that was sent to the House Judiciary Committee last year, this guy, Jeffrey Veltri, the chief FBI agent in Miami overseeing the Trump assassination investigation, He was ordered by FBI Director Chris Wray, who denied that Donald Trump was shot the first time.
02:27:17.000Remember when he testified to Congress and said he may not have been shot?
02:27:22.000He ordered this agent to delete his anti-Trump social media posts before they promoted him to the position in Miami.
02:27:29.000So the guy who's investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump hates Donald Trump.
02:27:35.000Where's Congress to demand that Christopher Wray testify and tell them what these posts have inside of them?
02:27:42.000What are these posts that we're hearing about in this whistleblower report?
02:27:46.000And can we actually trust the FBI to carry out this investigation when the guy, the FBI agent, Jeffrey Veltri, who is supposedly now the lead agent in charge of investigating Ryan Routh and the attempted assassination on Donald Trump, had anti-Trump posts?
02:28:04.000That's a fireable offense when you're an FBI agent.
02:28:07.000When you're a Secret Service, FBI, any law enforcement agent, you're not supposed to be making these partisan statements on your account, especially when you're in a position of protecting world leaders.
02:28:17.000So definitely go check that article out on my website.
02:30:53.000You can't date somebody who wishes they were you.
02:30:56.000You can't be friends with somebody who wishes they were you because eventually they're gonna be envious of you and it's gonna just become a situation where they have so much animosity for you, and they're just gonna continue looking from the outside in, wishing they were you.
02:31:13.000So it doesn't matter if you're famous, or if you have any type of fame, or whether you're in politics and media, or maybe you're just a successful business person.
02:31:23.000Maybe you're prettier than your friend.
02:31:41.000Like, she clearly envies me for some reason.
02:31:44.000She did this when Donald Trump wanted to hire me.
02:31:47.000And as soon as you see anybody in your life that has any sign of jealousy towards you, you have to cut that person off.
02:31:54.000I mean, I've had to cut so many people out of my life just in the last year alone because people just couldn't handle my succession to fame.
02:32:01.000And I'm not trying to sound full of myself, but I clearly have exploded in my growth, and I'm not trying to be nasty towards people.
02:32:10.000But there's just been some people in my life who became so jealous and so envious that they started to do things behind my back.
02:33:44.000So when I say I had to cut people out of my life, like it's people in media and politics, right?
02:33:49.000Because that's really the world that I've lived in.
02:33:51.000And so when I say that I have had to cut people out of my life who I've known for years and years and years, These are all, like, professional people in media and politics who have just become incredibly jealous and incredibly spiteful and vindictive, and they've tried to destroy me.
02:34:08.000They've tried to smear me because, I don't know, it's a very competitive industry, and that's why you see so many people lying about me and smearing me, too.
