Loomer Unleashed - EP98: TRUMP TARIFFS: Making America Wealthy Again

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:20:59.000 Good evening.

00:21:26.000 I'm your host, Laura Loomer.

00:21:28.000 Tonight on a special Saturday edition of Loomer Unleashed, we will be discussing the brand new Trump tariffs that went into effect today on our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, and our adversary, China.

00:21:39.000 Throughout his campaign, President Trump promised voters that these countries would be brought to heel for decades of trade imbalances, drug smuggling, and illegal immigration.

00:21:48.000 Moreover, Trump insisted that the government of the United States of America should once again pursue implementing tariffs in broad strokes on other nations as a means to raise revenue and protect American businesses.

00:22:01.000 Now, just a few days into his administration, he is fulfilling that promise.

00:22:05.000 Today, the White House officially imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% on China.

00:22:14.000 Trump has also promised that additional tariffs may be coming, especially on Canadian oil and gas.

00:22:20.000 This happened in spite of Canadian and Mexican diplomats pleading their case throughout Washington, D.C. over the past few days.

00:22:28.000 But their efforts were in vain, as Trump basically told them not to waste their breath.

00:22:32.000 But how exactly do tariffs work, and why are they beneficial to the United States?

00:22:37.000 Well, over the past few months, economists and critics have been sounding alarm bells that Trump's tariffs will raise prices, that this is a violation of free trade, and so on.

00:22:47.000 A tariff is simply an extra fee placed on goods entering the country.

00:22:51.000 This fee is paid by the company or the manufacturer shipping their goods to America.

00:22:56.000 So, for example, a 25% tariff on a $100 item would mean that the maker must pay $25 just to get it into the country.

00:23:05.000 That fee is sent straight to the federal government, just like any other tax.

00:23:09.000 Companies often run rather tight profit margins, meaning that they cannot simply eat that fee.

00:23:16.000 So what do they do?

00:23:17.000 They raise the price of their item to $125 to cover the tariff and ensure that they are still making a profit.

00:23:24.000 Now imagine a company in America that had also been making that same product for the same exact price.

00:23:32.000 Suddenly, consumers are going to flock to the item that has remained $100, rather than the one that just got bumped up to $125.

00:23:41.000 In this way, American businesses are protected from foreign competition and they can flourish.

00:23:47.000 In a nation where wages have been stagnant since the 1970s and where companies are constantly offshoring their production in favor of cheaper labor forces, a strong tariff regime could reverse years of globalization and stagnation.

00:24:01.000 So why are we seeing all of the pushback from economists and politicians?

00:24:05.000 The answer is neoliberalism.

00:24:08.000 This is a subject that I've talked about extensively on previous episodes of Loomer Unleashed.

00:24:14.000 The world has been living in the neoliberal economic consensus since the end of the Second World War.

00:24:19.000 In the years immediately following that conflict, the nations of the world got together and established several supranational organizations.

00:24:30.000 The United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund all being examples.

00:24:35.000 These were tasked with maintaining diplomacy and enforcing a new economic philosophy.

00:24:40.000 Specifically, that philosophy was neoliberalism, and it was a product of the 1944 Bretton Woods Convention.

00:24:48.000 There, world leaders agreed that one of the best ways to maintain international peace was to create a system in which all nations were reliant on one another.

00:24:57.000 Think about it.

00:24:58.000 Here in 2025, if China and the United States were to go to war, the entire global economy would be brought to its knees. 0.68

00:25:05.000 Supply chains, as we saw during the COVID-19 lockdowns and the COVID-19 scandemic, are extremely fragile, and any conflict would create tremendous ripple effects.

00:25:15.000 In other words, even the threat of war can have a chilling effect on every nation's economy.

00:25:21.000 Therefore, in some sense, globalization and free trade maintain world peace.

00:25:26.000 However, the unintended consequences of free trade, globalization and the world economy have devastated this nation.

00:25:35.000 A short road trip through the Rust Belt would prove that.

00:25:38.000 Much of America's manufacturing sector began to close up shop in the 1970s when the free trade regime, coupled with economic downturns and unfettered immigration, began to take their toll.

00:25:50.000 What do we see?

00:25:51.000 We see entire towns still in near ruin.

00:25:55.000 Their once-great factories looming on the outskirts of town, giant steel skeletons of once-great industries and better times.

00:26:03.000 President Trump and J.D. Vance understand the devastation of free trade on the middle class, and they are taking action.

00:26:10.000 Moreover, President Trump sees the tremendous upside to having the federal government collect billions of dollars in tariff revenue, something which once fully funded the government prior to the 16th Amendment.

00:26:21.000 Trump is going to make this nation rich again, all while lowering or even eliminating the income tax.

00:26:27.000 Additionally, Trump sees tariffs as necessary retribution against countries like Mexico, who have done irrevocable damage to America through their weak enforcement of drug and immigration laws.

00:26:37.000 The opioid crisis has ruined the lives of millions of Americans and further gutted America's small towns, and it has been allowed to flow into our country by our neighbors, poisoning Americans.

00:26:48.000 It is time that they start to pay actual reparations for the damage inflicted on the American people.

00:26:54.000 The tariffs implemented today are therefore not only a fulfillment of a Trump campaign promise, but also a paradigm shift.

00:27:02.000 Trump has signaled that the era of neoliberal consensus is finally America will once again provide for her citizens first, rather than buy into some nebulous global community.

00:27:15.000 America will rightfully assert her position as a world power once again, bending the will of lesser nations to meet our own.

00:27:22.000 And America will once again become a wealthy nation, able to afford mega projects, begin cutting the deficit, and rebuild the American dream.

00:27:32.000 There is a...

00:27:34.000 Young female journalist, conservative journalist by the name of Laura Loomer.

00:27:41.000 If America's men acted like Laura Loomer, our problems would be fixed in about five minutes. 0.95

00:28:19.000 Chained herself.

00:29:26.000 And also, we're going to be talking about the two plane crashes that happened.

00:29:30.000 Actually, there were three this week, but two of them are really dominating the news headlines.

00:29:34.000 We have some developments tonight after the name of the third individual on board that Black Hawk Army helicopter was released tonight.

00:29:42.000 So we have a lot to talk about there.

00:29:44.000 But the news that's really swept the country and also really swept the entire world.

00:29:49.000 Is the fact that today, February 1st, President Trump officially implemented tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

00:29:57.000 And if you caught his press release yesterday from inside the Oval Office, then you'll notice that he also said that he's thinking about implementing tariffs on the European Union as well.

00:30:07.000 So let's just cut to the chase.

00:30:09.000 I want to go ahead and play some of these clips.

00:30:11.000 We have clip number three of President Trump promising to put tariffs on China and Mexico on the campaign trail.

00:30:18.000 I'm showing these clips because it's another promise made, promise kept.

00:30:23.000 And you have all this outrage from Canada and you have outrage from Mexico.

00:30:28.000 Claudia Schennebaum and Justin Trudeau are expected to be meeting tonight to have conversations about...

00:30:35.000 The tariffs and Mexico and Canada are now having discussions about retaliating against the United States government and President Trump's administration for these tariffs.

00:30:45.000 But just moments ago, President Trump announced that there will be retribution if they decide to retaliate and that he will increase the tariffs from 25% to 50%.

00:30:55.000 So let's see.

00:30:56.000 We saw last weekend that it was Colombia that decided to F around and find out. 0.87

00:31:01.000 We'll see if Mexico and Canada are going to F around and find out this weekend as well.

00:31:06.000 But the tariff horrors are officially beginning.

00:31:11.000 And despite what the media will tell you, this is actually a good thing.

00:31:14.000 It's actually a good thing.

00:31:15.000 As I just stated in my opening monologue, it protects American manufacturers and it protects American businesses that have otherwise been shafted by cheap foreign labor and foreign competition.

00:31:25.000 So let's go ahead and play clip number three. - One of the things I'm going to do, I'll give you this as a little insight I just announced it in Pittsburgh.

00:31:42.000 It's become a very big story already.

00:31:46.000 We're going to tell Mexico you're killing tremendous numbers of our people by allowing China to send their fentanyl through your system and through your country. 0.99

00:31:59.000 And we're going to give them a little period of time.

00:32:02.000 But we don't want drugs coming across our border or any border.

00:32:06.000 And whether it's Mexico or Canada or wherever, because they're starting now in Canada, they're starting to go up north.

00:32:13.000 But whether it's Mexico or Canada, we're going to explain to them quickly that if you allow fentanyl and these drugs to come through your country, we're going to charge you large-scale tariffs on everything you send into the United States.

00:32:31.000 And they're making a lot of money in the United States.

00:32:42.000 They couldn't exist without us.

00:32:45.000 So we're going to do that.

00:32:46.000 And we're going to tell China that if you continue to send fentanyl to Mexico or any place else that comes into our country, we're going to charge you a 25 percent tariff on everything you sell into the United States of America.

00:33:02.000 We're not going to let...

00:33:03.000 We can't let them...

00:33:06.000 And you've never heard that from anybody but me.

00:33:09.000 And I've had it in my mind for a long time, but I didn't want to tell these guys about it because they'd only screw it up like they do everything else.

00:33:17.000 But I say it now because now we have the election coming up in a matter of hours, hours, hours.

00:33:26.000 And we're not going to let them destroy our country.

00:33:34.000 Trump is staying true to his word and he said he's not going to let them destroy our country.

00:33:39.000 Let's be honest, right?

00:33:40.000 These countries have weaponized Borders against the United States of America. 0.87

00:33:45.000 They have weaponized borders to import fentanyl.

00:33:48.000 We have fentanyl coming in from the northern border with Canada.

00:33:50.000 We have fentanyl coming in through the southern border with Mexico.

00:33:54.000 And so I think it's fair to say that if you're going to weaponize your borders, then we can weaponize tariffs.

00:34:00.000 And that's exactly what President Trump is doing.

00:34:02.000 And these countries need to show some responsibility.

00:34:04.000 They need to accept repatriation of their citizens.

00:34:08.000 They need to step up their border security.

00:34:11.000 They need to start paying.

00:34:13.000 I mean, the president of Mexico wants us to actually believe that Mexican government officials are not working with the cartels.

00:34:33.000 When there's video footage of illegal aliens talking about, I saw them myself when I was in the Darien Gap.

00:34:38.000 I asked them, oh, so how much cash do you need?

00:34:40.000 Tell me what.

00:34:41.000 What the process is like when you're traveling from the Darien Gap in Panama all the way to Mexico in the United States.

00:34:47.000 And one of the guys I met, his name was Lenny.

00:34:49.000 He spoke some broken English.

00:34:51.000 I believe he was from Ecuador, if I'm not mistaken.

00:34:53.000 He told me that he has to pay off the Mexican cartels $15 and that the Mexican cartels will turn, the Mexican police rather, because they're working with the cartels.

00:35:04.000 And so he said that if you give the Mexican cartels $15, they will turn a blind eye, the Mexican police.

00:35:12.000 You have cartels who are literally members of the Mexican police force and members of the Mexican army.

00:35:22.000 Turning a blind eye to illegal aliens running a human trafficking operation. 0.71

00:35:26.000 So imagine if you have over 12 million illegal aliens crossing through the Mexican border and Mexican police are charging $15.

00:35:34.000 Some of them, right?

00:35:35.000 I mean, let's say that they're not going to charge $15 for all of them.

00:35:39.000 But even if they charge, you know, $15 for 1% of $12 million.

00:35:43.000 Do the math on that.

00:35:45.000 Making a shit ton of money.

00:35:46.000 So this is happening, and Mexico has refused to crack down on it. 0.64

00:35:51.000 They have pretended like this isn't happening.

00:35:54.000 We know that the cartels go around killing and assassinating politicians that they don't want in office, and they have agreements with the Mexican government, and now the president of Mexico is pretending like this isn't happening, acting like she's so offended that President Trump is inferring or suggesting that The Mexican government is in bed with the cartels and that they don't actually want to crack down on the drug trade and they don't want to crack down on illegal immigration.

00:36:23.000 Too bad, you're going to have to pay a price.

00:36:27.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number one of a CNN segment talking about how the tariffs are going to remain in effect until fentanyl and illegal aliens stop entering our country.

00:36:40.000 This is what really gets at the heart of why the president imposed these specifically on Canada and Mexico.

00:36:46.000 It says in this fact sheet, quote, this tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country.

00:36:57.000 Now, Jessica, to be clear, and we know this from what the president has said on this previously, that one of the main reasons he wanted to impose these steep tariffs is because he believes that both Canada and Mexico are not doing enough to crack Now we have a lot of economists talking about how this is going to create inflation.

00:37:27.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number four of President Trump saying that tariffs don't cause inflation, they cause success.

00:37:35.000 I had almost no inflation, and yet I charged hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs to countries.

00:37:42.000 And to think of it, I had almost no inflation, and I took in 600 billion dollars of money from other countries.

00:37:53.000 And tariffs don't cause inflation, they cause success.

00:37:57.000 They cause big success, so we're going to have great success.

00:38:02.000 Now, on Friday evening, while he was speaking to members of the press inside the Oval Office, President Trump was also asked if he plans on implementing tariffs on the European Union, and he said absolutely.

00:38:14.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number 11. Well, you're asking me a question because I'm sure you didn't hear.

00:38:28.000 Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union?

00:38:32.000 Do you want the truthful answer?

00:38:34.000 Are you going to impose tariffs on the European Union like you are going to do for Mexico and Canada?

00:38:40.000 Well, you're asking me a question because I'm sure you didn't hear.

00:38:45.000 Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union?

00:38:49.000 Do you want the truthful answer or should I give you a political answer?

00:38:53.000 Absolutely.

00:38:55.000 Absolutely.

00:38:56.000 The European Union has treated us so terribly.

00:39:02.000 So, of course, the media is freaking out.

00:39:05.000 And it's my understanding that apparently, as I went live right now, Justin Trudeau is having a press conference entrusting the tariffs.

00:39:12.000 So, Cannon's going to go ahead and pull some of those clips.

00:39:15.000 We're going to have Dr. Kirk Elliott joining us momentarily.

00:39:18.000 So, Cannon, go ahead and find some of these clips because apparently Trudeau is now having a conversation while also speaking with the president of Mexico.

00:39:26.000 So, we have some incoming videos happening live as we are live right now.

00:39:32.000 So we have a clip of Justin Trudeau saying that Canada will mount a forceful response to U.S. tariffs.

00:39:38.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number 14. As President Trump stated yesterday, he is still committed to placing tariffs on Canada starting as early as tomorrow, possibly.

00:39:49.000 Now, we don't know precisely what that could look like, but I do know two things.

00:39:53.000 First, if the president does...

00:39:55.000 Choose to implement any tariffs against Canada, we're ready with a response.

00:40:00.000 A purposeful, forceful, but reasonable, immediate response.

00:40:05.000 We won't relent until tariffs are removed and, of course, everything is on the table.

00:40:11.000 Part of what this Council has been doing is pulling together perspectives from across industries, from across different parts of the country to make sure that anything we do We'll be fair right across the country, that all Canadians will share in the job of standing up for our interests and quite frankly standing up to defend the most successful trading relationship in the world.

00:40:36.000 Of course, I won't sugarcoat it.

00:40:38.000 Our nation could be facing difficult times in the coming days and weeks.

00:40:45.000 It's heating up.

00:40:46.000 It's definitely heating up.

00:40:48.000 Tariffs today and just the other day, we saw and we discussed here on Loomer Unleashed, President Trump talking about retaliation against the BRICS nations as well.

00:40:57.000 And soon we're going to be joined by Dr. Kirk Elliott of Kirk Elliott Precious Metals to talk about this and the implications of the tariffs and also the actions being taken by BRICS nations and how that's going to impact the global economy, how it's going to impact the U.S. dollar, and why now we're all of a sudden seeing record high prices for gold.

00:41:19.000 So what happens to your money in the bank when BRICS nations continue their economic warfare against the United States? 0.99

00:41:27.000 What happens?

00:41:28.000 Well, America is experiencing right now an economic crisis.

00:41:37.000 Are your bank assets truly safe?

00:41:39.000 Did you know that the FDIC only has about 1.2% of 1.2% of all deposits insured.

00:41:46.000 It doesn't take much for a bank run significantly worse than what we saw after Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic failed.

00:41:53.000 You need to get out of the system with the world's safest assets, silver and gold.

00:41:58.000 Let the pyre beware.

00:41:59.000 There are a lot of garbage companies out there that will sell you high-priced collectibles, silver and gold, but don't fall for it.

00:42:06.000 I've decided to partner with Kirk Elliott Precious Metals as Dr. Kirk cares about you. 0.77

00:42:42.000 Again, visit KEPM.com slash Loomer.

00:42:45.000 KEPM.com slash Loomer.

00:42:48.000 So we're going to talk about this with Dr. Kirk Elliott.

00:42:51.000 And look, we are reeling from an economic crisis.

00:42:54.000 President Trump has been in the White House for, what, 13 days now?

00:42:58.000 And so he has to pick up a lot of the damage that has been created by years of failed foreign policy as a result of the Biden regime and also failed economic policy.

00:43:09.000 So President Trump is implementing tariffs.

00:43:11.000 President Trump is...

00:43:13.000 Trying to deal with four years of disastrous policies by the Biden regime that has left America with a disastrous economic crisis.

00:43:22.000 And now what are we seeing with global tensions with the BRIC nations and the implementation of tariffs?

00:43:29.000 We're seeing record high prices of gold.

00:43:31.000 Here's a headline that, well, just from the last few days, there's been several headlines like this every day over the last four days.

00:43:39.000 These are the headlines that you may have seen in the news or maybe you haven't.

00:43:42.000 I haven't seen them because the news has been dominated with coverage of airline crashes and the tariffs and drone strikes on terrorists and all of the amazing executive orders that President Trump is implementing.

00:43:56.000 But here we have this Reuters article.

00:43:58.000 Gold surges past 2800 as tariff threats reignite record rally.

00:44:02.000 Scroll down.

00:44:05.000 Gold prices have surpassed the key $2,800 mark for the first time on Friday, fueled by a rush to safety following U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats, which heightened concerns about global economic growth and inflationary pressures.

00:44:19.000 Spot cold revved 0.3% to $2,801.29 per ounce after hitting a record peak of $2,817.23 earlier in the session.

00:44:34.000 Trump has set a Saturday deadline to slap a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and said he was still considering new tariffs on Chinese goods.

00:44:44.000 So joining me now to discuss these developments and to talk about why you should probably consider investing in gold and silver and precious metals today and to talk about the impact of Biden's economic crisis and how President Trump is going to see us through this is Dr. Kirk Elliott, the founder of Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

00:45:05.000 Dr. Kirk, thank you so much for joining me tonight.

00:45:07.000 It's great to have you here.

00:45:09.000 Oh, it's great to be with you, Laura.

00:45:12.000 Great.

00:45:12.000 How's your weekend going so far?

00:45:15.000 There's never a dull moment, that's for sure.

00:45:18.000 When, you know, Trump has been promising these tariffs, you know, it was part of his campaign promises.

00:45:24.000 And like you said, promises made, promises kept, right?

00:45:27.000 And, you know, as we look at what's happening, there's a very huge impact that's going to happen on the financial markets.

00:45:36.000 And the left is bellyaching and crying.

00:45:38.000 It's like, oh, this is going to cause way more inflation.

00:45:40.000 This is going to be hard on consumers. 0.99

00:45:42.000 What they forget and what they're not mentioning is, you know, what happens, people aren't that stupid, right? 0.97

00:45:49.000 If something from China or Mexico or Canada is 25% more, well, then they're going to buy American, right? 0.96

00:45:58.000 I mean, that's the goal.

00:45:59.000 People are going to look at their pocketbook, they're going to look at their wallet, and if there's competitive products and one's cheaper, they're going to buy the cheaper one.

00:46:08.000 This is the goal of making America great again, because Jobs always follow manufacturing, right?

00:46:15.000 So when we're exporting, when we're buying imports, we're exporting jobs, Laura.

00:46:20.000 This has been going on for presidents in the past, whether it was Biden or both Bushes or Clinton or Obama, right?

00:46:29.000 They're exporting jobs as the appetite for cheap goods from these other countries was so big.

00:46:36.000 Well, that's a problem when we export jobs. 0.92

00:46:40.000 Because now we have an unemployment mess under the Biden administration.

00:46:43.000 It was nasty.

00:46:44.000 And this is the empty refrigerator that Trump inherited.

00:46:48.000 It's an economic crisis.

00:46:49.000 And just as I said before, before you join me, we are in the middle of an economic crisis.

00:46:54.000 It's not just all sunshine, rainbows and unicorns just because President Trump's been in office for 13 days.

00:46:59.000 Yes, you know, a lot of great things have happened, but we are still reeling from the economic crisis created by the Biden regime.

00:47:05.000 And as you just stated correctly, and as I said in my opening monologue, this is good for American businesses.

00:47:11.000 These tariffs are going to finally give American businesses that have been shafted by the Biden regime.

00:47:22.000 It's going to give our reeling economy an opportunity to rebuild, to put American businesses, to put American products, and to put American manufacturers first.

00:47:32.000 And so it's really interesting to see them talking about how, oh my God, it's going to increase the cost of products.

00:47:37.000 It shows you that these economists, and it shows you that the Democrat pundits, and unfortunately, even some Republicans.

00:47:44.000 I mean, you see Senator Rand Paul attacking President Trump.

00:47:46.000 President Trump as well today for these policies too.

00:47:49.000 They truly do have resentment for American manufacturers because you're basically telling people that the only products worth buying are those that are coming from foreign manufacturers if you're telling them that they're not going to have any goods available to them because, let's be honest, we're in a global economy.

00:48:06.000 There's always going to be competition.

00:48:07.000 There's not a sole single manufacturer of any product in this country.

00:48:13.000 You're absolutely right.

00:48:15.000 If you look back to even two months ago, you had all these big hedge funds and big banks and everybody was saying, oh, that's the Trump trade.

00:48:25.000 Trump is going to grow the economy substantially.

00:48:27.000 Well, as of today, there was new stories coming out and they're big that hedge funds have multiple billion dollar bets that the stock market's going to collapse like soon because of Trump's tariffs.

00:48:41.000 So they did a complete 180. Right?

00:48:44.000 And saying, okay, the Trump trade is going to be great for America.

00:48:47.000 Now Trump's tariffs are going to be awful for America.

00:48:50.000 And we're betting billions of dollars that the stock market is going to take a huge digger.

00:48:55.000 And they're putting short positions on it.

00:48:57.000 Well, it's almost like a self-fulfilling property.

00:49:00.000 When you look at prophecy, I mean, when you look at some of these massive hedge funds, they get news on mainstream media and on the financial pundits on these financial news channels.

00:49:11.000 And so, as they say, the stock market's gonna collapse.

00:49:14.000 We're doing multi-billion dollar bets on this.

00:49:16.000 Look at our short positions.

00:49:18.000 What's gonna happen?

00:49:19.000 That is gonna cause selling pressure on the markets.

00:49:22.000 And so they're almost making it happen, right?

00:49:25.000 And I don't think that the timing on this is coincidental when you look at what happened just last weekend, right?

00:49:33.000 So last weekend on Friday, hardly anybody in the world had ever heard of DeepSeek.

00:49:40.000 And then all of a sudden, on Monday, good grief, DeepSeek hits the waves, and you've got NVIDIA that took a $600 billion market loss.

00:49:50.000 On Tuesday, it was up just a little.

00:49:53.000 On Wednesday, it took another $200 billion loss.

00:49:56.000 And chip manufacturers, they're all getting hit in the skids, right?

00:50:00.000 And so what is this?

00:50:01.000 This is a political shot across the bow of Trump tariffs.

00:50:07.000 Because you don't just come up with something all of a sudden, and within three days in December, there were three Chinese AI manufacturers, you know, of technology, of like, call it OpenAI or ChatGPT, things like that, right?

00:50:23.000 But they're Chinese.

00:50:24.000 I would not trust any data company from China to ever hold our, you know, secrets when we're actually typing in questions and then they say, okay. 0.98

00:50:34.000 What is your answer going to be?

00:50:35.000 And they know who you are, what you're asking about, everything.

00:50:38.000 Which is why under the Trump administration, the Navy banned Deep Seek two days ago.

00:50:45.000 It's like, nope, we can't use it.

00:50:48.000 I wouldn't trust any Chinese technology. 1.00

00:50:51.000 I mean, this is also why a lot of people are not aware of this, but the U.S. military also banned members of the Army from having TikTok on their devices.

00:51:00.000 Because it doesn't matter whether it's TikTok or whether it's DeepSeek, I don't trust any Chinese technology. 1.00

00:51:06.000 I even question iPhones these days, even though I myself have an iPhone.

00:51:11.000 I mean, I know it might sound a little hypocritical, but it really makes me wonder.

00:51:15.000 You know, all of these products, especially phones that are being manufactured overseas and in places like China, do they already have access to all of our data?

00:51:23.000 And what are they doing with this data?

00:51:24.000 Did people even bother to read the terms of service?

00:51:27.000 You see that in the aftermath of the Supreme Court upholding the ban on TikTok, all of these youth and even conservative influencers were encouraging people to download Red Note, which is literally a poor translation of Little Red Book, as in Mao's Little Red Book.

00:51:44.000 And it's basically CCP spyware that everybody is downloading onto their phone.

00:51:49.000 And so I think it's a coordinated attack.

00:51:52.000 I don't think that you're wrong in this.

00:51:53.000 I think it's interesting that, you know, they had the cultural attack through TikTok and encouraging everybody to download Red Note.

00:52:02.000 And then also one week after that, you saw what happened with DeepSeek.

00:52:05.000 And now we have the tariffs.

00:52:08.000 So I think you're onto something there.

00:52:09.000 And I think that all of this is politically coordinated because how come this didn't happen during the Biden regime?

00:52:16.000 How come this is all happening just days after the presidential election?

00:52:21.000 Well, I do think this is a coordinated attempt.

00:52:24.000 Of course, this is just my opinion.

00:52:26.000 I'm a PhD economist looking at these things.

00:52:28.000 But these kind of artificial intelligence engines don't just come up out of nowhere.

00:52:34.000 They've been working on them for a while, obviously.

00:52:37.000 But they decide to release them one week after Trump's inauguration, which is very interesting, the timing.

00:52:44.000 Because Trump is promising tariffs, you know, promises kept because he's doing it, right?

00:52:51.000 So they want to retaliate.

00:52:52.000 So if I were China, how would I retaliate against Trump and this administration, right?

00:52:58.000 So number one, they could say, all right, let's slap our own tariffs on American goods coming to China.

00:53:04.000 So that's not meaningless.

00:53:06.000 We don't really give anything to them.

00:53:08.000 We're consumers of their products, which is why Trump wants to do this.

00:53:11.000 The balance of trade is completely off.

00:53:14.000 Number two, China owns almost a trillion dollars of U.S. Treasuries.

00:53:18.000 So they could actually start dumping their U.S. Treasuries on the open market, which would devalue the dollar.

00:53:25.000 But they still have a trillion dollars worth of these things.

00:53:28.000 So that would almost shoot themselves in the foot if they do it too quick because they couldn't get rid of them fast enough.

00:53:34.000 So number three, how about we actually release these things?

00:53:40.000 Destroy Americans' confidence, not just in their government, but their banking system and then the financial structure altogether and get the stock market to come down.

00:53:48.000 And who's going to get the blame for this?

00:53:50.000 Trump.

00:53:51.000 Trump gets the blame for it because whoever is holding the bag when something falls apart, it's their fault.

00:53:57.000 Well, this is a coordinated effort by the globalists and the globalist bankers, I believe, to attack him for actually doing these tariffs.

00:54:05.000 But Trump's not going to stop.

00:54:07.000 Right?

00:54:08.000 He's not going to stop.

00:54:09.000 He's not going to cower to their pressure.

00:54:12.000 But we're also seeing something else, Laura, happen.

00:54:16.000 I will just say, before you say that too, another thing that happened, and it's all politically coordinated, since you're mentioning China and the Treasury as well, a lot of people are forgetting that just into, like days into, I think this was on the second day, or it was either two days before or two days after.

00:54:32.000 You have to check the exact date.

00:54:34.000 Just the news cycle has been an absolute whirlwind.

00:54:36.000 But it's happened within the last three weeks.

00:54:39.000 And that's the fact that Chinese state actors, state actors of the Chinese Communist Party hacked the emails of Janet Yellen and they also hacked the U.S. Treasury.

00:54:49.000 So, again, this happened in the lead up to the Trump inauguration.

00:54:53.000 And it's another way to destabilize or also try to put a lack of distrust into our economy or to undermine our economy as well.

00:55:02.000 And again, you know, we saw that this this happened and then who was at the inauguration?

00:55:09.000 The vice president of China just days later.

00:55:12.000 I personally found it to be inappropriate.

00:55:13.000 I don't know who on the Trump transition team thought it was a good idea.

00:55:17.000 I love President Trump, but I personally thought that the optics of having the vice president of China and also the CEO of TikTok at the inauguration and the CEO of TikTok sitting next to the incoming DNI nominee, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, wasn't optically...

00:55:36.000 The best thing, right?

00:55:38.000 Especially in the midst of all of this growing conflict with China.

00:55:42.000 But I just wanted to highlight that point to further, you know, add more evidence to your belief and my shared belief as well, that this is politically calculated by China.

00:55:53.000 I agree.

00:55:54.000 And we can go way back to last year, the BRICS nations met in Durban, South Africa.

00:56:03.000 And Putin opened up the conference with a statement.

00:56:06.000 He said, we're going to de-dollarize the world.

00:56:08.000 It's our objective and it's irreversible.

00:56:10.000 Why?

00:56:11.000 Because the BRICS nations want to have their own common currency instead of using the yuan and the ruble and the rupee.

00:56:17.000 You know, they want to have one common currency.

00:56:20.000 Well, how do you de-dollarize the world?

00:56:22.000 You have to kick America out of the sandbox, really, because we're still the reserve currency of the world.

00:56:27.000 So if you have a large enough trade bloc, which they have, 70% of the world's population is part of the BRICS nations, and I believe this is why when Putin says they're going to de-dollarize the world, you can't just say, yeah, we're going to do this, and then you still have the U.S. dollar as the big kid in the sandbox, right? 1.00

00:56:48.000 So how do you get rid of and erode confidence in the U.S. dollar?

00:56:53.000 How about you erode the banking system, which you just alluded to in your opening comments.

00:56:58.000 You know, FDIC only has 1.2% of all deposits insured, 1.2%.

00:57:03.000 It doesn't take much to actually create a run on the banks if people were to understand that.

00:57:10.000 It doesn't take much to actually get some of the big banks.

00:57:14.000 I'm not talking regional banks like Silicon Valley or Signature Bank or First Republic or Credit Suisse, right?

00:57:20.000 We're talking big banks that in the world that I live in, in the precious metals industry, right?

00:57:27.000 It's like we're a very large precious metals broker.

00:57:31.000 I see these banks, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, massive short positions on silver to manipulate the price.

00:57:41.000 They've been doing this for decades.

00:57:42.000 Well, if the price of silver goes up and you own short positions, You're going to be squeezed out of that, and they could be starting a short squeeze on the banks.

00:57:52.000 Well, this is happening right now, actually.

00:57:55.000 Let's go ahead and get this article up on the screen.

00:57:57.000 This article is from yesterday.

00:57:59.000 I mean, multiple news agencies had it.

00:58:01.000 This is a Bloomberg article that was syndicated on multiple different news wires.

00:58:06.000 But the headline from yesterday says, J.P. Morgan, which is Chase, as you just said, plans $4 billion U.S. gold delivery amid tariff fears.

00:58:16.000 And the whole article is just about how they have pallets of gold and pallets of silver that are being shipped on commercial flights, and people have no idea, you know, what are on these pallets, and they're being delivered, and that it's, you know, it's for J.P. Morgan.

00:58:33.000 That this is happening, right?

00:58:35.000 But if you look at, in London, the Bank of England, they're basically vaults at the LBMA. They actually hold the metals for central banks around the world.

00:58:44.000 They hold the gold.

00:58:45.000 Well, they've got a massive shortfall position right now because there's not enough inventory.

00:58:51.000 And what used to take about 72 hours for them to have delivery of gold to somebody who would purchase at a central bank or whatever, it's now four to eight weeks.

00:58:59.000 Well, where's the gold?

00:59:01.000 It's coming to New York, right?

00:59:03.000 So now it's in the vaults in Manhattan, probably under the New York Fed.

00:59:08.000 And so why is it coming into New York?

00:59:10.000 What is the issue here?

00:59:13.000 Is because of Trump's tariffs, things happen to change.

00:59:17.000 And so all of these traders around the world are moving their gold into the United States before a tariff impacts the price.

00:59:26.000 Because what did Trump's tariffs say today?

00:59:29.000 You know, go to whitehouse.gov.

00:59:31.000 Products, goods from Mexico and Canada are going to have a 25% tariff imposed on them.

00:59:39.000 Well, most of the silver, literally, like, I would say almost all of it, That comes into the COMEX Depository, the CME in America, is coming from Mexico and Canada, right?

00:59:49.000 So if you have a 25% tariff on that, or you have a 10% tariff on gold coming across the border from China, or the upcoming European Union, who knows what kind of tariff that's going to be, well, that means the prices are going to be higher.

01:00:06.000 The price of gold and silver isn't the spot price.

01:00:09.000 The price of gold and silver is the wholesale price plus whatever premium is imposed on that.

01:00:14.000 Well, a 25% tariff is going to add to the cost of buying or selling.

01:00:18.000 So when we wake up on Monday, you could see metals much higher in price, potentially.

01:00:24.000 But even Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary said, across the board, universal tariffs of 2.5% a month increases.

01:00:33.000 Well, that could impact the European Union.

01:00:35.000 That could impact everything.

01:00:38.000 Not very much gold and silver, for example, is actually mined in America.

01:00:43.000 They're coming from other countries. 1.00

01:00:45.000 So all of these countries around the world are getting their gold into America before the tariffs hit.

01:00:51.000 Well, this has only been going on for a week.

01:00:54.000 There's no way that they could get this done quickly enough, right?

01:00:57.000 So this is why we're seeing a dilemma, and this is going to cause prices to go up.

01:01:02.000 Now, I was looking at...

01:01:05.000 The current futures month contract price for silver, for example, it's over a dollar higher than what the spot price is.

01:01:13.000 And that futures month rolls over in March.

01:01:15.000 So we're only a month away from that, literally.

01:01:18.000 And what are the traders in the market saying?

01:01:22.000 Silver's going to be, they're expecting it to be well over a dollar higher, just a month from now, because of Trump's tariffs.

01:01:29.000 See, and this is kind of...

01:01:31.000 Not a black swan.

01:01:32.000 A black swan is something that we didn't foresee coming, right?

01:01:35.000 But the tariffs are something new.

01:01:37.000 In addition to normal supply and demand discrepancies, you've got tariffs slapped onto there.

01:01:42.000 In my world, this is going to squeeze the banks, right?

01:01:46.000 The big banks.

01:01:47.000 It's not small regional banks that have these short positions in gold and silver.

01:01:51.000 It's big.

01:01:53.000 International money center banks, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Bank of America.

01:01:57.000 That are going to start to get squeezed.

01:01:59.000 And I think this is part of the economic warfare coming from the BRICS nations, coming from China, coming from Russia, to actually deteriorate the U.S. dollar and to erode people's confidence in the financial system as they know it. 1.00

01:02:14.000 And that's the part of economic warfare.

01:02:15.000 If you can't beat a country with a normal political war, right, like a military war, Will erode people's confidence in the economy so they stop spending.

01:02:26.000 They pull their money out of the markets.

01:02:27.000 That'll have a negative effect on businesses nationwide.

01:02:32.000 But here's where Trump is actually the man of the hour in a situation like this because he will bring manufacturing jobs back to America, right?

01:02:43.000 So the left is saying this is going to cause massive inflation.

01:02:46.000 Well...

01:02:47.000 They're kind of right.

01:02:48.000 You know, tariffs will bring inflationary prices on things coming from other countries, but they're wrong in the sense of inflation isn't necessarily bad, Laura.

01:02:58.000 If wages keep up with inflation, let's say inflation's 10% and wages go up by 10%, it's a zero-sum game, no harm, no foul.

01:03:05.000 The problem we had with Biden was they were printing money like there was no tomorrow, spending like drunken sailors, wages were coming down and unemployment was going up.

01:03:15.000 So as prices were going up, people's wages were coming down.

01:03:19.000 Trump, under his plan to make America great again and create more manufacturing jobs, wages are going to go up with the inflationary prices, and now as more people are working, more people are spending.

01:03:30.000 As more people are spending, the economy is ultimately going to grow.

01:03:33.000 But I'm not saying this is going to happen overnight.

01:03:36.000 We're going to have some turbulent times here, and people have to have faith and confidence in the system that Trump didn't develop.

01:03:44.000 Tariffs aren't Trump's idea.

01:03:46.000 They're the Founding Father's idea, for crying out loud.

01:03:49.000 You know, we had tariffs in this country for the first 100-plus years of our existence, and then income taxes came in, which is one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto, progressive income taxes.

01:04:00.000 So now Trump does what?

01:04:02.000 Under the proposed Bill H.R. 25, get rid of personal income taxes.

01:04:07.000 And then if you've got tariffs on other countries, so other countries...

01:04:11.000 We'll pay for our expenses.

01:04:13.000 That's a brilliant, absolutely genius plan where he says, hey, if you're a country or you're a company that want to do business with rich America and get access to our spenders, well, then you're going to have to pay the price.

01:04:25.000 The price of admission is a tariff on your goods, right?

01:04:29.000 So are these countries and companies going to comply?

01:04:32.000 You bet they're going to comply.

01:04:34.000 One of the reasons why also the cost of living and the reason why we have inflation in this country after four years of Joe Biden and one of the reasons why the standard of living has decreased and why President Trump now has to fix We,

01:05:07.000 in the year 2024 alone, over 40% increase in the amount of Chinese foreign nationals who were coming into our country illegally.

01:05:18.000 Okay, refused to repatriate their deportees.

01:05:23.000 And Joe Biden, right, allowed for so many of these criminal illegal aliens to be granted temporary protected status, even though they weren't deserving of it.

01:05:32.000 And we saw an increase in goods.

01:05:34.000 We saw an increase in housing.

01:05:37.000 We saw an increase in everything because we're having to provide services.

01:05:41.000 Most of these criminal illegal aliens are receiving government benefits because they're coming into our country illegally. 0.99

01:05:47.000 They're impoverished individuals who really don't have any skills to be productive members of our society.

01:05:54.000 They have jobs.

01:05:56.000 I'm not saying that none of them are working, but they're doing jobs that they're taking away from They're taking away jobs from Americans because, well, what's the benefit of hiring an illegal alien as we know? 0.99

01:06:08.000 You can treat them like a slave.

01:06:10.000 And so whereas you would have to pay somebody $15 an hour here in the United States of America to work for today's version of minimum wage, you can get away with paying an illegal alien $7 an hour to do the same job.

01:06:23.000 And many of them will be happy doing that job even for those slave wages because, well, it's better than what they're getting in their own country.

01:06:32.000 People have to understand that even if some prices do go up temporarily, That's the cost of improving our national security.

01:06:40.000 That's the cost associated with improving your long-term quality of life and ensuring that you actually have a future and a sovereign nation to live in.

01:06:49.000 Unfortunately, that's what's going to happen.

01:06:52.000 And so you see the Senate Democrats today saying, oh, the Super Bowl's coming up.

01:06:56.000 You're going to have to pay more for tequila and your margaritas and your avocados and your beer, you know, even though they're forgetting that there are American manufacturers of tequila and there's craft.

01:07:08.000 I'm not a consumer of alcohol.

01:07:09.000 I do not drink, but there are manufacturers of alcohol here in the United States of America.

01:07:15.000 It's just really funny to see how these Senate Democrats and elected Democrats think that the only place you can get these products is from overseas.

01:07:23.000 But we are spending billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars every single year providing health care to illegal aliens, providing... 1.00

01:07:32.000 All types of services to illegal aliens.

01:07:35.000 And at the end of the day, we have to now implement tariffs to make these countries pay us back.

01:07:40.000 As I said in my opening monologue, it's a form of reparations.

01:07:45.000 We are owed reparations for the weaponization of our borders, which has resulted in an economic crisis.

01:07:52.000 It has resulted in a cultural collapse, a cultural crisis.

01:07:55.000 And it's also resulted in the mass poisoning of millions of Americans.

01:08:01.000 Who have been killed or have been subjected to bodily harm as a result of fentanyl overdoses.

01:08:09.000 So I think that if we're going to, if they're going to weaponize their borders and our borders against us, then I think it's fair play for President Trump to weaponize tariffs.

01:08:19.000 What are your thoughts on that?

01:08:20.000 I 100% agree.

01:08:23.000 You know, it's not like what Trump is doing is trying to make a healthy economy healthier.

01:08:30.000 A sick, almost dead economy survive, right?

01:08:34.000 And so in doing that, though, this is the low level that he's starting from, and he is going to make us healthy and then healthier, but he's starting from a really bottom, you know, low level.

01:08:46.000 And so when you get to that point, you have to take more drastic measures.

01:08:50.000 This is where, because we're such a large, consuming nation, very wealthy nation, even after Biden's economy, right?

01:08:57.000 We're still America, for crying out loud.

01:09:00.000 Yeah, why not weaponize our economy, so to speak, with tariffs in other countries?

01:09:07.000 And look, it's not a bad thing.

01:09:09.000 It's not an evil thing to use your clout and your might for the benefit of American citizens, right?

01:09:16.000 We're just so used to, outside of Trump, the last four or five presidents have all been, they should actually call themselves presidents of the world rather than presidents of America because They just bowed to the globalist agenda and forgot about Americans.

01:09:33.000 Well, Trump, he wants America strong.

01:09:36.000 He wants America great.

01:09:37.000 He wants to be the president of America.

01:09:39.000 And you know what?

01:09:40.000 These tariffs are going to be great for America. 0.97

01:09:43.000 They're not necessarily going to be good for the rest of the world.

01:09:46.000 But we shouldn't really care, right?

01:09:49.000 Because we have been behind the eight ball for so long that now it's time that we finally have a strong leader.

01:09:56.000 Who's got thick skin, who's actually one of the first politicians ever who's probably made campaign promises and then kept them, and he's doing it.

01:10:05.000 13 days in, it's bill after bill, executive order, and all these things that are happening.

01:10:10.000 We've never seen a president keep so many campaign promises.

01:10:13.000 And that's the irony, right, is that people are kind of forgetting, and some people are not, because obviously a lot of businesses were destroyed, and a lot of people are clearly able to see that The cost of goods around them and their cost of living has increased substantially, and they're not better off under Biden than they were four years ago under Trump, and hopefully now things will improve.

01:10:35.000 But, you know, they were gaslit for four years into thinking that they weren't picking up the extra cost of this physical importation of illegal immigrants and fentanyl.

01:10:46.000 And that's what President Trump said in his statement.

01:10:48.000 Let's show his statement that he released on True Social earlier.

01:10:53.000 And so people just have to understand that just like we have had an increase in taxes over the last four years and we have had to pay more for goods and services as a result of the cost burden of illegal aliens and the drug epidemic on our country under the Biden regime because they promoted a culture of open borders and they tried to demonize and cancel anybody who opposed it.

01:11:16.000 calling them a racist, calling them a bigot.

01:11:21.000 Protecting Americans is the main result, right?

01:11:27.000 That's going to be the main result that Americans get as a result of these tariffs.

01:11:32.000 And he said that he did this as a way to protect Americans.

01:11:37.000 Somehow, and I'm not really sure.

01:11:39.000 I mean, it's obviously because of greed.

01:11:40.000 It's obviously because of their own selfless interests.

01:11:43.000 A lot of these economists and political pundits are trying to gaslight people into thinking that this is going to harm them.

01:11:48.000 People have to look at this and think to themselves, what is more harmful to you?

01:11:53.000 Other nations receiving a 25% tax or you and your children being subjected to criminal, illegal, alien crime and fentanyl in your communities?

01:12:02.000 And so here's the statement.

01:12:03.000 I want to get your reaction to it.

01:12:05.000 It's really a form of not just weaponization of our borders.

01:12:11.000 It's not just immigration warfare, economic warfare, but it's also a form of psychological warfare.

01:12:17.000 And I think that what President Trump is really trying to do, not just with fixing our immigration system and fixing our economy and holding other nations accountable.

01:12:26.000 But I think this is an experiment in breaking the psychological abuse and the psychological conditioning that Americans and just Western civilization has had over the last four years.

01:12:37.000 Because we really have been subjected to severe forms of psychological warfare.

01:12:42.000 To gaslight people into thinking that putting America first is bad.

01:12:46.000 So let's go ahead and take a look at this statement.

01:12:51.000 Let's get the little box out of the way, Cannon, on the screen. 0.87

01:12:57.000 Oh, today I have implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, 10%.

01:13:03.000 You can read it there.

01:13:05.000 There's a box covering it on my screen.

01:13:11.000 Here we go.

01:13:12.000 Today I've implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, 10% on Canadian energy, and a 10% additional tariff on China.

01:13:20.000 This was done through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act because of the major, please scroll down, threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our citizens, including fentanyl.

01:13:31.000 We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as president to ensure the safety of all.

01:13:35.000 I made a promise on my campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs. 1.00

01:13:40.000 From pouring across our borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.

01:13:46.000 So just as I was explaining, right, we need to teach people and some people understand this, but unfortunately, there's people in our own Republican Party.

01:13:55.000 There's people in the Libertarian Party and overwhelmingly in the Democrat Party who are trying to demonize this as an act of warfare on the American people and on the American consumer when it's actually a form of grace and protection by the president of the United States.

01:14:12.000 And I think that the psychological manipulation that has been carried out by the mainstream media and the Biden regime over these last several years has really gaslit people into truly believing that this is more harmful, that tariffs on...

01:14:26.000 Our adversaries and people who have weaponized our borders and weaponized migration against us is more harmful than protecting our own sovereignty and giving American businesses a thriving chance at economic opportunity.

01:14:40.000 Yeah, you are so spot on.

01:14:43.000 And you know, why is he doing this to these countries, right?

01:14:47.000 If you look at Canada, for example, and this is in the statement from whitehouse.gov today on tariffs.

01:14:53.000 Trade accounts for 67% of Canada's GDP, 73% of Mexico's GDP, 37% of China's GDP, but only 24% of ours.

01:15:06.000 In 2023, we had a trillion-dollar trade deficit.

01:15:12.000 So what does Trump want to do?

01:15:13.000 He wants to actually have that be a trade surplus, not a deficit.

01:15:17.000 How do you do that?

01:15:19.000 You make foreign goods more expensive.

01:15:22.000 This is just, you know, it's not just, I think it's going to have multiple good news down the road.

01:15:30.000 Yes, the basis of it was to stop the fentanyl coming in because that's harmful to our kids and to our country and it kills people and it's awful and it's addictive and it's just terrible, right?

01:15:40.000 But what's going to happen?

01:15:42.000 Not only are we going to get rid of that, not only is he going to stop the illegal, you know, people coming in across the border and stealing American jobs, He's actually going to create a trade surplus in time which is going to make America a net exporter of things rather than a net importer of things and that's going to make us a very prosperous nation.

01:16:04.000 This is the economic warfare that actually is going to be amazing for America.

01:16:09.000 We just haven't seen a president that's done this before.

01:16:13.000 And so the big bankers and the politicians are like, what?

01:16:17.000 No, we've got all kinds of money from this big farm in these other countries, and no, we can't do this.

01:16:22.000 It's like, no.

01:16:23.000 The only way to make America great again and to bring jobs back is if we have a trade surplus.

01:16:29.000 How do you do that?

01:16:30.000 To make our products and services and goods that we have in America attractive to the rest of the world, and this is what Trump's going to do.

01:16:41.000 Absolutely.

01:16:42.000 I also want to get your comments on another post that we have from President Trump.

01:16:46.000 This is a true social post that he posted.

01:16:49.000 Let's get this posted on the screen as well, Cannon.

01:16:53.000 This is a post made by President Trump about bricks.

01:16:58.000 Here we go.

01:16:58.000 Let's get this up on the screen.

01:17:00.000 Here we go.

01:17:01.000 The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is over.

01:17:08.000 We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency nor back any other currency to replace the mighty U.S. dollar or they will face 10% tariffs and should expect to say...

01:17:25.000 Let's see.

01:17:26.000 Scroll.

01:17:26.000 Goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. economy.

01:17:29.000 They can go find another sucker nation, right? 1.00

01:17:32.000 Just to the point, right? 0.99

01:17:33.000 America first policy.

01:17:34.000 It's great. 0.99

01:17:35.000 Calling them suckers. 1.00

01:17:36.000 They can go find another sucker nation. 1.00

01:17:38.000 There's no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. dollar in international trade or anywhere else. 0.95

01:17:43.000 And any other country that tries should say hello to tariffs and goodbye to America.

01:17:48.000 So, America first policies, right? 0.80

01:17:50.000 I don't see what is so bad about this.

01:17:52.000 It really is just showing who's for America, who's for American manufacturers, who's for American businesses, and who's for selling us out to globalists and making our country go further into debt by... 0.95

01:18:04.000 Being exactly what President Trump said, a sucker nation to other countries to walk all over and take advantage of and benefit from economically while they poison our citizens with fentanyl and drugs and allow for their criminal illegal alien spies and rapists and murder citizens to come into our country. 0.72

01:18:23.000 What are your thoughts on this statement? 0.98

01:18:25.000 You must just be having a great day, right?

01:18:27.000 Like, you, as the founder of Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, must be on cloud nine right now, giving up.

01:18:36.000 I mean, are you not just having the best week ever or what?

01:18:40.000 I mean, not just me, but America should be having the best week ever, right?

01:18:44.000 We finally have somebody that's got our interest in putting them first.

01:18:48.000 But see, in prior administrations, they were all afraid to actually do an economic war with China because they never even thought of slapping tariffs on them, right?

01:18:58.000 But that's all it's going to take because China, the number one manufacturer in the world of like everything, if they lose the U.S. marketplace, because what if, you know, in Trump's campaign, he was saying 60% tariffs on China, not 10%.

01:19:14.000 So I don't think he's going to stop at 10%.

01:19:17.000 I think it's going to keep going up and up and up until they comply, because they do not want to lose the American marketplace for their goods and services, because we are Their largest purchaser of everything.

01:19:32.000 You go into Walmart, probably 80% of everything in there is made in China, right?

01:19:36.000 Or, I mean, they don't want to lose that.

01:19:39.000 There's really honestly been no punishment or any accountability for China whatsoever since they unleashed a bioweapon on the world. 0.98

01:19:46.000 So I think it's really interesting, too, how the entire global economy was reeling from COVID, as I spoke about in my opening monologue as well.

01:19:55.000 Speaking of economic warfare, we saw how the global economy was halted and negatively impacted as a result of...

01:20:01.000 I think it's great.

01:20:11.000 I mean, this is not just a way to curb the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration from China into our country.

01:20:17.000 And yes, people think more about illegal immigration as it relates to Mexico and people coming across, you know, Central and South American countries into our nation.

01:20:26.000 But some of the...

01:20:28.000 Highest numbers of foreign nationals, believe it or not, over the last two years who have entered the United States of America through the southern border, and a lot of people are not aware of this, are individuals from China.

01:20:39.000 I saw it firsthand when I went down to the Darien Gap, and I was in the jungle of Panama, and I literally saw Chinese. 0.89

01:20:47.000 Inscribed onto trees in the jungle.

01:20:50.000 Chinese huts where you had Chinese individuals in Panama schlepping goods into the jungle so they could have their little own Chinese black markets. 0.82

01:20:59.000 Using TikTok and using WeChat and using all of their different apps while connecting to Starlink, believe it or not.

01:21:05.000 I even got it on video.

01:21:07.000 I have these Chinese invaders using Starlink to facilitate their operation in the jungles of Panama. 1.00

01:21:15.000 Really, this is quite generous in my opinion.

01:21:17.000 It's kind of funny how people are saying it's so hostile.

01:21:21.000 I was actually critical of this.

01:21:23.000 As somebody who supports President Trump, I was critical not for the tariffs, but I was like, why are Canada and Mexico getting 25% and China's only getting 10%?

01:21:32.000 I think it should be much higher, personally.

01:21:34.000 I was criticizing the fact that it's not higher than 10%.

01:21:40.000 So I hope it goes much higher.

01:21:42.000 I have a feeling it's going to go higher because why in the world, Laura, has everyone been so afraid to actually go toe-to-toe with China over the last 20 years or so? 0.91

01:21:54.000 I mean, they don't have any political freedom there.

01:21:57.000 They don't have religious freedom. 0.99

01:21:59.000 They don't have freedom of speech.

01:22:00.000 They've got young kids making all the cheap stuff that we love to buy.

01:22:04.000 It's like, what about the social justice, right?

01:22:06.000 Why would we try to...

01:22:09.000 Why didn't we go toe-to-toe with them before when they're the most egregious attackers of freedoms probably in the world?

01:22:18.000 I mean, it's so bad.

01:22:19.000 And now, I mean, I'm really just very pleased.

01:22:23.000 I am happy.

01:22:24.000 This was a good day because we finally have a president that is looking out for Americans, and it's good.

01:22:30.000 And I think China will ultimately have to buckle under the pressure, or else... 0.90

01:22:35.000 They'll have to find another sucker nation, like Trump says, because it's not going to be this one. 0.64

01:22:40.000 And the people, I mean, it's just crazy to me that it's taken this long for this to actually happen. 0.88

01:22:48.000 Absolutely.

01:22:50.000 And so, you know, we talked about this a lot.

01:22:52.000 And the fact of the matter is, is that throughout the rest of the week, there's now reports saying that the price of gold could even get to $3,000 per ounce if this continues at the current rate with the tariffs and the continued hostility from these BRICS nations and this turmoil, not just economically, but also politically with the United States and these nations who are resisting.

01:23:18.000 They're actually making threats now.

01:23:21.000 Canada and Mexico coming together, making threats against the United States. 0.87

01:23:25.000 China making threats. 0.70

01:23:26.000 Brazil making threats. 0.95

01:23:27.000 And so what does this mean for people who are either active consumers of precious metals, people who already have investments in gold and silver, or people who are listening to this now and wondering, OK, so what should I do?

01:23:42.000 What is the logical next step for somebody watching right now who doesn't own any gold or silver, who is listening to this?

01:23:47.000 Looking at this and wondering, what does this mean for my money if I have all of my investments sitting in the bank?

01:23:55.000 What does this mean as we're also watching the Trump administration speak with crypto officials establishing a national crypto reserve and the fluctuating price of cryptocurrency?

01:24:06.000 What does this mean and what should the viewers of Loomer Unleashed do right now or this week as the price of gold is continued to rise?

01:24:15.000 Well, I would allocate into silver at this point.

01:24:19.000 You could do gold, but silver is going to do better.

01:24:21.000 There's just a report that came out last week that the backlog of silver at the refineries is now three months.

01:24:28.000 Literally, they're three months backlogged.

01:24:30.000 So the difference between gold and silver is not just the price.

01:24:34.000 Gold is a barometer against political distrust, right?

01:24:38.000 The worse that it gets, the more people go into gold as a flight for safety.

01:24:41.000 And this is why central banks around the world Want to back up their currency with it.

01:24:46.000 Silver is an industrial metal, Laura.

01:24:48.000 So 90% of the demand for silver is not you and me investing in it.

01:24:53.000 It's manufacturing demand.

01:24:54.000 It's used in the military industrial complex.

01:24:58.000 It's used in solar.

01:24:59.000 It's used in photovoltaic stuff like batteries and electric vehicles and all these chips.

01:25:07.000 Like, NVIDIA is making for AI and electronics and flat-screen TVs.

01:25:12.000 It all uses silver, right?

01:25:14.000 Well, it's diminishing in supply.

01:25:17.000 So, yeah, these articles that gold could hit 3,000, I think there's more likelihood that silver hits 50, and it's less than, like, 32 today, right?

01:25:28.000 So I think that silver is going to outpace it.

01:25:31.000 So the answer is, you know, when you hear stories that today, That hedge funds have huge bets that the stock market's gonna come crashing down, right?

01:25:42.000 Well, I think that's their shot across the bow against Trump and his policies.

01:25:46.000 But those exact same things are causing gold and silver to go up.

01:25:51.000 So all of us investors, we wanna be wise stewards with what God's given us.

01:25:56.000 We wanna be prudent.

01:25:57.000 We wanna buy low.

01:25:58.000 We wanna sell high.

01:25:59.000 So all we do is we identify these trends.

01:26:02.000 Every investment that we ever have.

01:26:04.000 It's going to go up or go down because of policies coming out of D.C. Whether it's interest rates going up or down, increasing the money supply, decreasing the money supply, increasing taxes, lowering taxes, putting some kind of administrative ruling or climate change agenda in front of us, that's going to cause certain things to go up and certain things to go down.

01:26:22.000 Right now, at this particular time in history, I would allocate into silver.

01:26:27.000 Now, I'm not talking about paper, not talking about ETFs or mining shares or mutual funds.

01:26:33.000 Talking about physical silver that people can buy, take delivery of at home, store it at a depository, or put it into their retirement accounts, like their IRAs.

01:26:43.000 See, that's where safety comes in.

01:26:46.000 When we have this digital world that's in front of us and digital social profiles and social credit scores and the promise of central bank digital currency to cut you off from your money if your ideology doesn't match up with theirs, That's programmable money.

01:27:04.000 That's not good, right?

01:27:06.000 But you get out of the system when you go into a tangible asset like gold and silver.

01:27:10.000 That's why kings and kingdoms have fought over it for thousands of years and why they will continue to do so.

01:27:17.000 And even in today's digital world, Laura, why do central banks own hundreds or thousands of metric tons of gold?

01:27:24.000 To back up their upcoming digital currency.

01:27:27.000 Why do the BRICS nation say, hey, we're going to have 40% of our new upcoming currency backed by gold?

01:27:32.000 It's because they know that that adds stability to a broken system.

01:27:36.000 You don't have to be a hedge fund.

01:27:38.000 You don't have to be a bank to participate.

01:27:40.000 You can buy gold one ounce at a time, right?

01:27:44.000 You can buy silver in like $500 increments.

01:27:47.000 You don't have to have a huge, huge, you know, wallet or pocketbook to get started because we will Help everybody who calls.

01:27:56.000 Granted, there is logistics of doing business, right?

01:27:59.000 It's $500 on silver would be a minimum, like roughly $3,000 on gold because it's one ounce is a few thousand dollars.

01:28:07.000 But other than that, start repositioning out of weakness, go into strength, take advantage of these trends so those trends don't take advantage of you, right?

01:28:17.000 I mean, we are entering into a paradigm-shifting moment in our economy with Trump.

01:28:23.000 And this is the best way that I know how to take advantage of it.

01:28:28.000 You know, crypto, I think, is doing good as well.

01:28:31.000 Trump is very pro-crypto.

01:28:33.000 But most of my clients who are 50 plus say, I'm not going to touch crypto with a thousand foot pole.

01:28:38.000 I don't even know how to do a coin wallet.

01:28:39.000 I don't trust it.

01:28:40.000 It's scary.

01:28:40.000 I don't get it.

01:28:41.000 Well, then, you know what?

01:28:43.000 Do whatever gives you the most peace of mind.

01:28:45.000 And this is why most of my clients love.

01:28:49.000 Tangible assets like precious metals because it does give that peace of mind when they put their head down on the pillow at night.

01:28:55.000 Yeah, and in the beginning of this interview, you were talking about how it's mostly imported from overseas.

01:29:01.000 And another news item that some people may not be aware of because the news cycle has just been so chaotic this last week, especially with the plane crashes and all the nonstop executive orders, is Trump, this is a Newsweek headline, Trump deals hammer blow to Taiwan with semiconductor tariffs.

01:29:20.000 And so, you know, when we're talking about the utilization of silver, In the semiconductor industry, it says U.S. President Trump's threat to impose tariffs of up to 100% on Taiwan's semiconductor industry has sent shockwaves through the Silicon Island.

01:29:36.000 And so you often talk about in your commercials for Kirk Elliott Precious Metals about how silver is going to be in short supply for many people in many industries.

01:29:46.000 And what's going to happen if you, the consumer, you, the taxpayer, you, the individual, can own silver while it's in such...

01:29:56.000 And so, any comments on the possible imposition of tariffs up to 100% on Taiwan's semiconductor industry and how that is further going to impact the precious metals market?

01:30:11.000 Well, that's not really going to impact the spot price of gold or silver.

01:30:15.000 It's going to impact the price of buying and selling.

01:30:18.000 The spot price is the price of the metal as it comes out of the ground.

01:30:21.000 That's not going to change.

01:30:22.000 But if you have 100% tariff on it and silver's $30 an ounce, well, it's going to cost you $60 an ounce to buy it.

01:30:30.000 This is why the London vaults are moving their metals into America pre-tariff to try to avoid this.

01:30:37.000 Because if you buy six months, a year from now, it's probably going to be much higher as tariffs are imposed on it.

01:30:47.000 You know, I'm never an urgency kind of a guy.

01:30:49.000 It's never like, oh, you better do this yesterday or you're going to die kind of a thing.

01:30:53.000 No.

01:30:53.000 But when something is this strong of a trend, don't let the dust settle under your decision.

01:30:59.000 I would allocate into that strength sooner rather than later because these trends are very strong, very strong.

01:31:08.000 And, you know, we've seen trends in the past and they all come and go.

01:31:13.000 You know, gold and silver aren't going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread forever.

01:31:16.000 You know, everything is going to peak out.

01:31:18.000 Everything is going to bottom out.

01:31:19.000 We saw tech stocks take an 80% hit in 2000. We saw all stocks take a huge massive, you know, 40% hit in 2009. We're starting to see the AI stocks in this industry starting to crumble and erode while at the same time precious metals are going up because of these trade winds pushing at it, right?

01:31:44.000 The worse the world gets, the better gold and silver generally perform.

01:31:48.000 Just a general rule of thumb, because they act as a flight for safety.

01:31:52.000 They act as quality.

01:31:53.000 And so I would look at all of this, the potential for 100% tariffs on these Asian economies, 25% on Canada and Mexico, another 10% on China, which I think is going to go much higher than that.

01:32:07.000 What if we get 10% on Europe?

01:32:09.000 What if we get...

01:32:10.000 Like what Besant said, 2.5% incremental tariffs month after month after month as it increases to give companies time to adapt to that.

01:32:18.000 All of this means that anything coming in is going to be more expensive into America.

01:32:24.000 Most of the gold and silver coming into America is not sourced here.

01:32:29.000 It comes from other countries.

01:32:30.000 Therefore, take advantage of it before the prices get too high.

01:32:35.000 So you recommend that...

01:32:39.000 They call you this week, right?

01:32:41.000 They call you this week.

01:32:42.000 We have the number flashing up on the screen now.

01:32:44.000 So again, if you want to contact Dr. Kirk and his team at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, you should do so.

01:32:50.000 I think that this is a sense of urgency and you should act on this.

01:32:53.000 The number is 720-605.

01:32:57.000 3900-720-605-3900.

01:33:00.000 We also have the landing page that Dr. Kirk and his team were so generous to make for our Loomer Unleash viewers here.

01:33:09.000 The website is KEPM.com slash Loomer.

01:33:13.000 KEPM.com slash Loomer.

01:33:26.000 Your contact information there and they will get back to you.

01:33:29.000 What is the best way for people to reach you?

01:33:31.000 Would you say that it's better to call or would it be better for people to use the online form?

01:33:37.000 Because I imagine now with all of these recent developments, you probably are going to be inundated.

01:33:43.000 And so what is the service time for people who are wondering how soon can they call you tomorrow?

01:33:47.000 Are you guys open on Sundays or do you have a 24-7 hotline?

01:33:52.000 because I'm getting a lot of comments in the chat now and people messaging me now on social media who are watching the live feed about whether you have people available tomorrow or if it's best for them to call Monday.

01:34:03.000 We won't on Sunday, but call.

01:34:06.000 Call today, call tonight, call tomorrow, or submit the form, and we will call you back on Monday, right?

01:34:12.000 Leave your information.

01:34:13.000 So the way that the process works is you either put your form information in or call us, leave a message, and we'll have one of my team call you to just schedule a time to talk to one of our consultants who will Here are your dreams, your goals, your aspirations.

01:34:27.000 What do you want to do?

01:34:29.000 What was it that Laura and Kirk talked about that caused you to want to reach out?

01:34:33.000 And then craft a strategy for success moving forward, right?

01:34:36.000 Based on what you all want.

01:34:39.000 And here's where not all gold and silver dealers are created equal.

01:34:44.000 Not all gold and silver is created equal.

01:34:46.000 You should never in a bajillion years, I don't even know if that's a number, but...

01:34:52.000 Do anything that's rare or collectible or as high premium.

01:34:56.000 We deal with bullion, inexpensive, low-cost gold and silver.

01:35:01.000 There's always a market for it.

01:35:03.000 And we use that as the stable backdrop in putting together a portfolio that will stand the test of time.

01:35:11.000 So you call, you submit the form, we'll call you back on Monday, and we'll set up a time for us to talk about your specific goals.

01:35:20.000 And my team is really good.

01:35:22.000 I have an amazing team.

01:35:24.000 Granted, I'm biased because I picked them, but they're incredible and I trained them.

01:35:30.000 We have an amazing team and we'll bend over backwards to help you.

01:35:34.000 We'll move the assets.

01:35:35.000 We'll guide you through that.

01:35:36.000 But that's not where our journey together ends.

01:35:39.000 It's where it begins, right?

01:35:42.000 Because then moving forward, we'll guide you every step along the way.

01:35:45.000 Let you know when it's time to buy, sell, reallocate, get out of Dodge, do whatever needs to be done.

01:35:50.000 This is the air that we breathe are these markets and it can be scary doing something you've never done before but we're gonna hold your hand through it not just now but into the future so you can lock in your profits when the time is right.

01:36:03.000 And it seems like now is the ideal time to do it and not only are you Not only are you taking time on a Saturday evening to speak to our viewers, but I will say I think there is a sense of comfort and there's also a sense of trust in doing business with somebody who is willing to answer unscripted questions on a live stream.

01:36:26.000 If you have some time, we can actually go to the chat now and take two or three questions before we move on to the next segment.

01:36:34.000 But I also think that it says a lot that you're willing to...

01:36:39.000 You support free speech, right?

01:36:41.000 You are a sponsor of the show.

01:36:42.000 Kirk Elliott Precious Metal supports our show, which means they support free speech, and they're not participating in the globalist economy that is fueled by cancel culture and that has been hijacked by radical leftists over these last four years.

01:36:59.000 Personally, I like doing business with people who share my values, and if you're watching Loomer Unleashed, you are likely a conservative, you support free speech, you support, you know, liberty, you support the freedom movement, you support economic prosperity, and hopefully you're also a supporter of President Trump's policies.

01:37:16.000 And clearly, as Dr. Kirk voiced tonight, he's a supporter of all those things.

01:37:24.000 As I've said before on this show, one of the reasons why I decided to partner with Dr. Kirk and his team is because I find them to be honorable, trustworthy individuals who...

01:37:36.000 Again, are very transparent and very open.

01:37:38.000 As I've said before, you know, it's a Saturday night and he's already been on for almost an hour with us and he's going to take a few questions.

01:37:44.000 So let's go over to the chat right now.

01:37:46.000 We'll take two or three questions from the live viewers right now.

01:37:49.000 If you're watching on X or Rumble, please be sure that you repost this live link now.

01:37:54.000 We're going to take two or three questions.

01:37:58.000 J. Andrew D. says, what is the minimum investment with this company?

01:38:04.000 $500 is the minimum.

01:38:06.000 Many of my mentors have said, Kirk, you've got a couple PhDs.

01:38:11.000 You should have a large minimum.

01:38:12.000 It's like, no.

01:38:13.000 It's not why we exist.

01:38:14.000 I want to help everybody, whether you have a lot or whether you have a little.

01:38:18.000 So on silver, it would be $500.

01:38:20.000 On gold, obviously, gold is a few thousand dollars an ounce.

01:38:24.000 It would be whatever one ounce of gold would cost, which is about $3,000.

01:38:28.000 So $500 is the minimum.

01:38:31.000 If you have an IRA, I would say because there's, you know, administrative and storage fees that go to the IRA custodian, which is a few hundred dollars a year, $10,000 would be the minimum on an IRA. But if it's outside of an IRA, yeah, simple.

01:38:48.000 It's $500 or more.

01:38:50.000 All right, let's go to the chat, take a couple more questions.

01:38:56.000 Let's see.

01:39:00.000 Scroll up.

01:39:01.000 If you have questions, you guys, he's with us for a few more moments.

01:39:05.000 Please put your questions in the chat.

01:39:08.000 Scroll up.

01:39:12.000 See, a couple more questions.

01:39:14.000 Scrolling through.

01:39:19.000 This is something that we addressed before, but I guess you can, here, stop right there.

01:39:24.000 Tim Peck said, if the prices for foreign goods rise, then Americans will be more likely to buy American, right?

01:39:29.000 Yes, this is what I said in my opening monologue, and this is what you were highlighting as well.

01:39:34.000 Perhaps you have anything else you want to add to that? 0.99

01:39:39.000 No, I mean, Americans aren't stupid, right? 0.98

01:39:42.000 Contrary to what politicians think. 0.99

01:39:44.000 Yeah, and the media pundits, right?

01:39:46.000 So they're trying to say that this is going to be so bad.

01:39:48.000 But if it's a tax on imports, it's not really going to be harming Americans.

01:39:55.000 No, because we'll change our spending habits.

01:39:57.000 We'll change what we buy and how we buy it.

01:39:59.000 I mean, I would, you would.

01:40:01.000 So are all of your viewers, right?

01:40:03.000 So I'm, yeah, when there's everything from other countries is going to be more expensive.

01:40:10.000 By default, American goods are going to be less expensive and people are going to start buying them.

01:40:16.000 This is an amazing thing.

01:40:19.000 Let's take one more question.

01:40:22.000 Scroll down to the bottom.

01:40:26.000 I can scroll all the way down if there's any more questions.

01:40:31.000 Jay Andrew said, that's a very good deal in my opinion.

01:40:33.000 Many require a $10,000 investment.

01:40:37.000 I'd say so too, because he's right.

01:40:39.000 A lot of these companies that you're dealing with, there's a lot of gold companies out there, they do require a $10,000 investment.

01:40:44.000 And you're starting with $500 for silver or the price of one ounce of gold.

01:40:50.000 And as we just said in the beginning of tonight's monologue, It's a little over $2,800 right now for an ounce, but it's expected to be $3,000 by the end of the week.

01:41:00.000 So any comments on that in comparison to your competitors?

01:41:04.000 Because that is true, and maybe some people who haven't dabbled in precious metals before are not aware of how other precious metals companies often require you to make an initial $10,000 investment.

01:41:18.000 Yeah, I mean, I... I'm not God.

01:41:21.000 I can't, you know, predict where the markets are going to be on any given day, but the trends are certainly going up.

01:41:27.000 When you have low supply, high demand, that's economics 101. Prices will go up.

01:41:33.000 So I would just start allocating as quickly as you can with what you feel comfortable with, right?

01:41:41.000 I mean, but...

01:41:43.000 You know, this is why people invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, why they invest in anything, because they believe that the prices are going up.

01:41:50.000 You know, the technicals and fundamentals behind gold and silver are really strong, so I wouldn't let the dust settle.

01:41:58.000 I would allocate as soon as you can.

01:42:02.000 Wonderful.

01:42:03.000 And again, you guys, if you want to call Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, the number is 720-605-3900, 720-605-3900, or visit KEPM.com slash Loomer.

01:42:16.000 Let them know that Laura Loomer sent you.

01:42:18.000 Dr. Kirk, thank you so much for spending an hour of your Saturday evening with us.

01:42:23.000 It's great to have you on the show.

01:42:26.000 Thank you so much for your sponsorship of Loomer Unleashed because...

01:42:30.000 Not only are you doing a great thing for Americans, but you're also doing a great thing for freedom of speech and the freedom movement by having your company sponsor truth speakers and people who are otherwise censored and canceled from being on the mainstream media and canceled by big tech.

01:42:49.000 And so it's really important that we support companies that are supporting our values here in America.

01:42:54.000 And free speech, of course, is the most important value that we have here in America.

01:42:59.000 So I just want to thank you so much for your sponsorship of my show and also for your time tonight.

01:43:05.000 Thank you.

01:43:06.000 It's my pleasure.

01:43:07.000 We'll talk soon.

01:43:08.000 We'll talk soon.

01:43:09.000 Thank you.

01:43:12.000 Alrighty, everybody.

01:43:14.000 So if you enjoyed that, again, the number is 720-605-3900, 720-605-3900.

01:43:24.000 Let's move on now.

01:43:26.000 We have some new information about the very tragic plane crash that took place on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. We were talking about it on the show a couple days ago and a lot of speculation and I don't want to say conspiracy theories but there was a lot of outrage online because When the names of the victims started to come out and it was reported that it was a Black Hawk military helicopter involved in crashing directly into an

01:43:56.000 American Airlines passenger jet, a lot of people became outraged when the Army said, oh, we're not going to release the name of the pilot, the third individual, the woman who was on board the helicopter.

01:44:07.000 And some people were wondering, oh, is it a transgender person?

01:44:10.000 Is it a gay person? 0.57

01:44:12.000 Is it, you know, a Muslim? 0.63

01:44:15.000 Like, people were asking.

01:44:17.000 Questions, and obviously, I mean, this is a very tragic...

01:44:20.000 Incident that took place and even President Trump himself said in his true social post that it's quite unusual.

01:44:26.000 A lot of people were watching this video and they found it to be quite unbelievable that a helicopter could fly directly into a passenger jet seconds from landing.

01:44:37.000 And now today there was a New York Post article that came out.

01:44:41.000 We can actually get this article pulled up so that people can see what I'm talking about.

01:44:45.000 But there was a New York Post article that came out today that said that The pilot of the helicopter was given two minutes advance notice of the passenger jet.

01:44:56.000 Excuse me.

01:44:57.000 Before it collided.

01:44:59.000 So a lot of people are now wondering, you know, there's a speculation, oh, did they not see it?

01:45:04.000 Oh, was it an issue with, you know, night vision?

01:45:07.000 Oh, was it an issue with the peripheral vision?

01:45:09.000 But here we have this new report.

01:45:11.000 Army helicopter was warned about American Airlines plane twice with final alert coming just seconds before the D.C. crash.

01:45:20.000 Says the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines plane was alerted to the plane's presence by air control twice, the first time at least two minutes before the deadly crash, according to a Washington Post report.

01:45:32.000 Aviation experts reviewed Wednesday night's radio transmissions obtained by the Washington Post and said that a soldier on the Black Hawk requested visual separation so that the helicopter crew could maintain a safe distance from the plane, which it could see.

01:45:44.000 Both times the request was approved by air traffic control.

01:45:48.000 About 12 seconds after the second air traffic control tower alert, the helicopter and passenger plane collided.

01:45:55.000 A lot of questions.

01:45:56.000 A lot of questions are arising, but we now have the name of the third helicopter pilot.

01:46:02.000 Let's go ahead.

01:46:03.000 Her name is Rebecca Lobach.

01:46:05.000 So here we go.

01:46:06.000 This is my tweet from earlier today if you were following along.

01:46:10.000 Rebecca Lobach has been announced as the female pilot of the helicopter.

01:46:14.000 And what really has caught people by surprise, or maybe not so much by surprise, and maybe this is the reason why the family asked the Army not to release her name and why they scrubbed all of her social media and why there was an effort to delete her digital presence online before they released her name today.

01:46:32.000 After, what, four days now since the incident that took place?

01:46:36.000 She was a Biden aide.

01:46:38.000 So not only was she a helicopter pilot, but she was also an aide for the Biden administration who helped them plan special events.

01:46:46.000 And she most recently participated as an escort for the recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

01:46:55.000 They said, I believe it was Ralph Lauren, who was being rewarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden.

01:47:01.000 And she was one of the physical escorts to, I guess, escort some of these recipients in the Biden administration.

01:47:08.000 And she helped the Biden administration plan some of their events.

01:47:11.000 Why do I bring this up?

01:47:12.000 Well...

01:47:14.000 Obviously, the media and a lot of people started to blame President Trump because just two days after he assumed office and took his oath of office during the inauguration, he signed an executive order to rid the FAA of DEI, degeneracy, and basically just toxic DEI policies.

01:47:35.000 And so you do some math on this just days after that, right?

01:47:39.000 You have the 22nd.

01:47:40.000 Let's pull this up on the calendar here.

01:47:43.000 Pull this up on the calendar.

01:47:45.000 We have a copy of this executive order.

01:47:50.000 But you look at the time frame of all these different crashes.

01:47:53.000 So you have the 22nd, which was a Wednesday.

01:47:56.000 And then you have the 29th, which is also a Wednesday.

01:48:01.000 So one week, a lot of people are asking questions because one week after President Trump made this executive order, You have this individual who is now coming out as an aide for the Biden administration.

01:48:15.000 And look, I'm not accusing her of anything.

01:48:17.000 I'm not saying that she intentionally did this, but we have no way of knowing whether this was done intentionally or whether or not it was an accident.

01:48:24.000 And I think a lot of people are wondering, was this intentional or was it an accident?

01:48:28.000 Because even President Trump said in his own true social post that it's very suspicious that this happened.

01:48:34.000 So just pull up your calendar, right?

01:48:36.000 It's kind of weird how all of this stuff happened in such close proximity with each other and a lot of people are freaked out and a lot of people are on edge because you had the executive order.

01:48:45.000 First you had the inauguration, then you had the executive order, then you had a plane crash the day before, then you had this plane crash, and then days later...

01:48:53.000 Yesterday, right, you had the plane crash in Philadelphia, and it's all really culminating when you have all of this political pressure and all of these political attacks on the Trump administration and the media coming out and blaming President Trump, saying that it's because his executive order eliminated DEI and they had firings at the FAA and in federal agencies just days before this happened.

01:49:16.000 And then, of course, they're trying to blame Sean Duffy, the new transportation secretary, even though this happened On day one of his job, so I don't really see how this could be his fault, given the fact that this happened just hours after he was sworn in and approved as the next transportation secretary.

01:49:33.000 But I'm going to show some details here.

01:49:35.000 And again, I'm not accusing anybody of anything, but I think we need to have a conversation here because President Trump eliminated DEI. We see that a lot of people...

01:49:45.000 In the military under Joe Biden, a lot of people in the administration itself, including the former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, was only hired because he was a gay man.

01:49:55.000 He had no experience dealing with transportation at all.

01:50:00.000 He was just hired because, well, he was a gay man, and they wanted to say that they had the first gay Transportation Secretary.

01:50:07.000 A lot of people in the Biden administration...

01:50:10.000 We're nominated for their sexuality or their sexual preferences or their gender.

01:50:16.000 I mean, this is by their own admission.

01:50:18.000 That's why they said Kamala Harris was, at first, the first Indian VP. Then they wanted to pretend like she was black, right?

01:50:26.000 Then they wanted to say, oh, the first woman.

01:50:28.000 So the reality is, is that by their own admission, Joe Biden himself has said that he only nominated Kamala Harris because she was Indian, because she was a woman.

01:50:38.000 I mean, we already know that Pete Bodugag led with the fact that it's not that he was an American who was nominated to this position.

01:50:44.000 It was because he was an openly gay man, right?

01:50:47.000 That's his qualification.

01:50:48.000 That's his qualification in his mind.

01:50:50.000 I am the first openly gay transportation secretary. 0.98

01:50:56.000 As if we're supposed to really give a shit about the sexual orientation or the sexual preferences of the people who are supposed to be overseeing the regulations, the FAA, and making sure that we have qualified pilots and that our roads are okay and that our trains are okay and our planes are safe. 0.98

01:51:15.000 Very concerning. 0.98

01:51:16.000 So here's some photos.

01:51:18.000 You can, again, come to your own conclusion here.

01:51:21.000 But this is Rebecca Lobach.

01:51:23.000 So here's a photo of her in a helicopter.

01:51:25.000 There's her doing her position in the Biden administration as a White House aide, and here's some photos of her from her since-scrubbed social media accounts participating in Pride events.

01:51:37.000 So you see here she's hanging out with some individuals who appear to be gay, maybe even transgender.

01:51:43.000 Rainbow flags, rainbow everything, holding rainbow flags.

01:51:51.000 Take it for what you will.

01:51:53.000 But her parents also, if you go back to my social media posts and the statement that they released, after saying for days that they didn't want her name released, they finally decided to release her name today.

01:52:05.000 And they also released this statement.

01:52:07.000 It's longer, right?

01:52:08.000 You'll have to go look at the whole statement.

01:52:10.000 This was the last part of the statement, though.

01:52:11.000 Rebecca was many things.

01:52:14.000 She was a daughter, a sister, partner, and a friend.

01:52:19.000 So I don't know about you, but, you know, you don't just use the term partner to describe partner if you're like a business partner at a firm, which clearly she wasn't because she was a pilot, right?

01:52:31.000 They said she wanted to go to medical school after this.

01:52:34.000 You use the term partner oftentimes when you want to say that somebody is gay without saying that they're gay.

01:52:40.000 So a lot of times, you know, I've been around gay people.

01:52:44.000 Look, I have gay family members as well, right?

01:52:46.000 And oftentimes you have to know your setting.

01:52:48.000 And if you're in a, like, super evangelical setting or maybe you're in a super conservative setting, you're not going to, like, have...

01:52:55.000 Family members who are gay walking in there and being like, oh, here's my boyfriend or here's my girlfriend, right? 0.57

01:53:01.000 Generally, if they ask you, oh, you know, are you guys sisters?

01:53:04.000 Are you guys brothers?

01:53:05.000 They're going to say, oh, no, this is my partner. 0.60

01:53:07.000 And then you're going to put two and two together and realize, oh, okay, they're gay, right? 0.94

01:53:10.000 Without having to say, oh, yeah, this is my gay fiance or this is my gay lover. 0.91

01:53:15.000 This is my lesbian lover. 1.00

01:53:16.000 This is my gay lover, right, as a man.

01:53:19.000 So people use the term partner when they want to.

01:53:22.000 You know, signal that somebody is a homosexual. 0.97

01:53:25.000 So, I'm not saying that it's bad to be gay. 0.68

01:53:28.000 I have nothing wrong with gay people. 0.82

01:53:30.000 I have a brother who is gay.

01:53:31.000 But again, it leads, it begs the question, was this the most qualified position?

01:53:37.000 Was this the most qualified person to be in this position?

01:53:40.000 Was this the most qualified individual to be flying this helicopter?

01:53:44.000 Or are all of these people dead as a result of DEI, right?

01:53:48.000 Is this woman a lesbian woman? 1.00

01:53:52.000 Again, I don't have anything against gay individuals serving in government or being in agencies in our government.

01:53:59.000 We just had Rick Grinnell, who is a gay man, who just successfully brought home hostages serving as a... 0.98

01:54:08.000 You know, special envoy for the Trump administration, he helped negotiate this hostage deal with these American citizens who were being held hostage in Venezuela, and he was able to get Maduro to agree to pay for and accept the repatriation flights of dangerous Venezuelan illegal aliens and members of Train de Agua, the very dangerous Venezuelan gang.

01:54:27.000 So I have no problem with gay people being in positions of government.

01:54:32.000 I don't.

01:54:33.000 I'm not a discriminatory person.

01:54:34.000 But we have seen the elevation of individuals in positions that they're not necessarily qualified for because of their sexuality and because of the fact that they are women.

01:54:45.000 Some of the biggest benefactors of affirmative action have been women themselves.

01:54:49.000 And now we saw during the Biden administration there was an overemphasis to push a bunch of gay and transgender individuals into our military.

01:55:01.000 Take it for what you will, but I think it's really interesting that nobody wants to talk about the fact.

01:55:06.000 I haven't seen any of the media pick up on the fact that they mentioned, oh, she was a partner.

01:55:11.000 They're basically hinting at the fact that she's a lesbian. 0.99

01:55:14.000 Now, maybe it was just a poor choice of words.

01:55:16.000 I don't know.

01:55:17.000 But again, makes you wonder, was this accident that claimed the lives of nearly 70 people a result of toxic DEI policies?

01:55:29.000 Perhaps we're going to find out.

01:55:31.000 That's what President Trump suggested.

01:55:33.000 That's kind of what J.D. Vance suggested when they were talking about DEI and the plane crash the other day at the White House.

01:55:38.000 Who knows?

01:55:39.000 You know, maybe more information is going to come out.

01:55:41.000 But I do find it to be rather interesting that as I'm, you know, uncovering these photos and finding this information and noticing, oh, interesting choice of words to say her partner, right?

01:55:53.000 Sean Duffy today at the Department of Transportation, they made an announcement.

01:55:58.000 We can get this pulled up on the screen for those of you to see.

01:56:00.000 And I do think it's kind of interesting that they had to reiterate this policy today, even though President Trump himself already signed an executive order about FAA just a couple days ago.

01:56:11.000 But let's go ahead and get this statement up.

01:56:13.000 I'm pulling it up right now.

01:56:16.000 Secretary Sean Duffy said, And you can follow along on X if you're watching live.

01:56:25.000 You can repost this live link.

01:56:26.000 This is at the new SecDuffy Twitter account, at SecDuffy.

01:56:32.000 Effective immediately, this was tweeted today, about 7 o'clock, the Department of Transportation will no longer participate in celebrations based on immutable traits or any other identity-based observances.

01:56:43.000 These distractions do nothing to keep planes in the air, trains on the tracks, or ports and highways secure.

01:56:48.000 In the wake of two devastating plane crashes, my focus is singular, enforcing the highest standards of safety and accountability.

01:56:55.000 From now on every day of every month, we celebrate transportation, beautiful infrastructure, and safety.

01:57:00.000 So it is kind of interesting.

01:57:01.000 Right?

01:57:02.000 He felt the need to announce this today.

01:57:04.000 I mean, you have the Democrats today celebrating Black History Month, right?

01:57:08.000 Like, no, it's February 1st.

01:57:10.000 It's not Black History Month.

01:57:12.000 It's February 1st, right?

01:57:13.000 So, again, they want to have days for everything.

01:57:15.000 They want to have months for everything.

01:57:17.000 Black History Month, Asian Pacific, Pacific Islander Month, right?

01:57:22.000 Jewish Month, Hispanic Month. 0.76

01:57:25.000 I mean, there's a month for everything.

01:57:28.000 Except white people, of course, right? 0.82

01:57:30.000 But it is interesting that he felt the need to highlight this right after two devastating plane crashes, even after President Trump's own executive order demanding the elimination of DEI. So President Trump's executive order would have been enough to strip These DEI initiatives from all government agencies, including the Department of Transportation, without Secretary Duffy saying this.

01:57:55.000 But the day that this girl's name came out and the day that her parents released a statement mentioning a partner, I think it's interesting.

01:58:04.000 Again, I will say that he's doubling down on this and mentioning that it's a distraction.

01:58:15.000 And it's doing nothing to keep planes in the air.

01:58:18.000 So is this post hinting at the fact that maybe DEI had something to do with the crash that we saw in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday?

01:58:28.000 We don't know what the cause of the crash is yet for this Mexican air ambulance that crashed yesterday in Philadelphia.

01:58:36.000 A very tragic situation in which a pediatric patient was gifted an angel flight as a member of, well, a patient of Shriners Hospital.

01:58:44.000 This, I guess, poor Mexican girl and her mother couldn't afford medical treatment. 1.00

01:58:48.000 She had a life-threatening illness.

01:58:51.000 Treatment from Shriners Hospital and the way a lot of these hospitals work, these children's hospitals work, is they give free treatment to people who can't afford it and it's called Angel Services or Angel Flights.

01:59:03.000 And so they had contracted this.

01:59:05.000 Air ambulance, because this little girl was from Mexico, and so they were flying her from Philadelphia, Shriners Hospital, to Missouri, and then Missouri to Mexico.

01:59:14.000 But unfortunately, the jet was only in the air for 40 seconds before it shot down like a missile and landed in a residential area and shopping complex area in Philadelphia, killing six people on the plane, killing another person on the ground.

01:59:30.000 So seven people total.

01:59:32.000 Six on the plane, one on the ground, and injuring 19 others and displacing over 1,000 people because there were reports that it landed in a row of houses, a row of townhouses and apartments, and it has displaced, from my understanding, 1,000 people whose homes and property were damaged.

01:59:49.000 So, very tragic.

01:59:51.000 That seems to be some kind of a tragedy with an air ambulance, but again...

01:59:57.000 With the crash that happened on Wednesday, it really begs the question, was DEI involved, given what we are now seeing from the Trump administration and the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy coming out with this statement, and now it makes you wonder, why did they hesitate to release her name?

02:00:15.000 Why was the family so insistent on not releasing her name if this truly was just an accident, or there was nothing to blink at or think twice about?

02:00:25.000 I think they understand the implications of the fact that she was an aide to the Biden administration.

02:00:32.000 And again, I'm not saying that it's a negative if somebody is a homosexual, but I am saying that the Biden administration oftentimes...

02:00:41.000 Prioritize giving jobs to homosexual individuals who were not necessarily qualified for the positions simply because they wanted to say that they had a big, gay, colorful, rainbow army military.

02:00:54.000 That's just a fact of the matter.

02:00:55.000 We saw how the event, speaking of the fact that this woman was an event planner or a social aide, as they described her, for the Biden administration, we've seen the degeneracy that comes out of the Biden administration events. 0.96

02:01:09.000 I can remind you and I can show you those terrible headlines of the transgender individuals and the gay individuals who were taking their tops off with their fake breasts, their implants, the trannies who were out in the open with their implants on the White House lawn. 1.00

02:01:24.000 I think it was an Easter event, if I'm not mistaken. 0.97

02:01:26.000 But that's the type of events that were taking place in the Biden administration.

02:01:31.000 And so it speaks volumes to me that this woman...

02:01:36.000 Rebecca Lobach was a social aide for the Biden administration.

02:01:40.000 Here you go.

02:01:41.000 Scroll up.

02:01:42.000 Republicans slammed Biden for proclaiming Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter, though it's yearly observed, on March 31st.

02:01:52.000 And if you recall, I mean, I don't need to play the videos, or you can find the videos, I suppose.

02:01:56.000 We can play the videos.

02:01:57.000 But there were individuals there, transgender individuals, who took their top off. 1.00

02:02:02.000 It made, you know, viral headlines.

02:02:05.000 They had to actually ban the activists from going to the White House because they took their top off and they were, like, jumping up.

02:02:11.000 You know, I'm flat-chested, so, you know, my boobs aren't going to jiggle. 0.98

02:02:15.000 But, you know, just imagine a transgender individual with very large fake breasts jumping up and down with their nipples out, right? 1.00

02:02:24.000 Their nipples just out in the open on the White House lawn. 0.99

02:02:27.000 So you can find here, after topless incident at the White House, let's just click on that Forbes article. 0.93

02:02:33.000 After a topless incident at the White House, sparks uproar, administration denounces trans influencers. 0.91

02:02:39.000 So they had to denounce this trans influencer because, as I said before, they literally took their tits out and started flashing everybody on the lawn at an Easter celebration that was hijacked into becoming Trans Day of Visibility. 0.97

02:02:53.000 So, again, when I hear that this individual who, maybe she's a lesbian, maybe she's not, I don't know. 0.98

02:03:01.000 I don't know her.

02:03:01.000 I don't know her family.

02:03:03.000 Was a social aid for the Biden administration.

02:03:06.000 Nothing good comes to my mind when I think of the type of social events that took place at the Biden White House.

02:03:13.000 So I'm sure you're not going to see this on the media because they'll say, oh, you know, they just died.

02:03:18.000 It's not the right time or place to be talking about this.

02:03:20.000 But, you know, over 67 innocent people are now dead.

02:03:25.000 Most of them, a lot of them children.

02:03:27.000 And I think that it's absolutely the right time and place to be talking about this.

02:03:31.000 I mean, if people are gonna be offended, they're gonna be offended, right?

02:03:35.000 Let's go ahead to the chat.

02:03:37.000 Let's see what people have to say about this because I'm sure that a lot of people are really not even aware of it.

02:03:45.000 Scroll up.

02:03:49.000 Let's see some of these comments.

02:03:51.000 Let's keep on going. 0.99

02:03:53.000 Someone said, just shut up and keep it to yourself. 0.97

02:04:03.000 Live your life. 1.00

02:04:03.000 Nobody cares if you're gay. 1.00

02:04:05.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that it was a good policy that we used to have in the military when, you know, the whole don't say gay policy.

02:04:10.000 I do think that that's beneficial because, you know, why would you want to create a distraction?

02:04:15.000 And that's all it is.

02:04:16.000 It's a distraction.

02:04:17.000 And that's what Sean Duffy said today in his statement.

02:04:21.000 These distractions are not making people safe. 1.00

02:04:24.000 If you're gay, who gives a shit? 1.00

02:04:25.000 Again, I'm not a homophobe. 1.00

02:04:27.000 I have nothing against gay people. 0.80

02:04:28.000 I have a gay brother.

02:04:29.000 But again, I don't really like when people behave in a flamboyant manner.

02:04:34.000 I don't.

02:04:34.000 I also don't find it to be appropriate for people who are receiving salaries from the taxpayers to be pushing their personal sexual orientation onto the public in their professional position.

02:04:47.000 And I don't really see how it has any place in sectors like aviation or transportation or our U.S. military.

02:04:55.000 So perhaps we need to re-implement the don't say gay policy.

02:05:01.000 Because, I mean, we shouldn't be talking about whether or not somebody's gay.

02:05:06.000 I mean, you have a job and that's to protect the United States of America.

02:05:10.000 Maybe some of you disagree.

02:05:11.000 If you agree that it should be re-implemented or that we should have stricter policies on people keeping their sexual orientations hidden in the military, press one.

02:05:21.000 I want to see how many of you agree with that.

02:05:32.000 Let's scroll up.

02:05:37.000 Somebody said, jiggle again.

02:05:38.000 There's no jiggling.

02:05:39.000 I'm completely flat-chested.

02:05:45.000 Let's go all the way up.

02:05:46.000 I know a lot of you asked questions earlier.

02:05:49.000 I want to get to your questions.

02:05:51.000 Again, we are live right now, so please be sure that you repost that tweet, because a lot of people haven't seen this.

02:05:56.000 I know a lot of people are too afraid, and I even got text messages from some conservatives.

02:06:00.000 I know they're like, oh, Laura, you know, Come on, is it really the right time and place to be talking about this?

02:06:05.000 I'm like, yeah, it is.

02:06:06.000 I'm not accusing her of anything, but I'm just saying it's kind of interesting that they waited so long to reveal her identity and now we're finding out she was a Biden aide and might be a lesbian.

02:06:16.000 I don't know.

02:06:16.000 Maybe she wasn't qualified.

02:06:17.000 How does a qualified pilot get two minutes of advance notice that a plane is coming directly their way and then they're notified two other times as well and then they crash into a plane killing people?

02:06:29.000 It doesn't really sound qualified to me.

02:06:31.000 Maybe we have different Understandings of what the word qualified is.

02:06:34.000 I don't know.

02:06:36.000 I'm not going to apologize for speaking truth.

02:06:38.000 I don't need to be overly sensitive when there are grieving families who want answers.

02:06:43.000 And DEI kills.

02:06:45.000 That's why DEI equals D-I-E because it kills people.

02:06:49.000 And it probably killed people in this instance too, which is why President Trump, who knows a lot more than we do, let's be honest, the President of the United States gets information way before we do.

02:06:58.000 I'm sure they already know what happened.

02:07:00.000 They're probably just not able to tell us, okay?

02:07:02.000 So President Trump is going to lead his own press conference the other day talking about DEI and plane crashes.

02:07:08.000 There probably is a good reason why he did so.

02:07:12.000 Let's scroll up.

02:07:15.000 A couple more questions.

02:07:17.000 No men and women's sports either.

02:07:28.000 Yep.

02:07:30.000 Absolutely.

02:07:34.000 Somebody said she attended Pride events so she was gay.

02:07:37.000 I mean, look, there's a lot of people who have been to Pride events and they're not necessarily gay.

02:07:42.000 So who knows?

02:07:43.000 You know, maybe she's not a lesbian. 1.00

02:07:44.000 But I think it's really interesting that she's in photographs attending Pride events and then also her family is saying, oh, she was a partner.

02:07:51.000 Like, what does that even mean to be a partner unless you're saying that they're gay?

02:07:54.000 And you don't want to say they're gay.

02:07:56.000 Let's scroll all the way down to the bottom.

02:07:57.000 If you have any more questions, feel free to put your questions in the chat.

02:08:02.000 We have some videos, actually, if you haven't seen these, although I imagine that if you're on X, you've seen some of the footage from this horrific plane crash in Philadelphia that took place last night that killed seven you've seen some of the footage from this horrific plane crash let's go ahead and play some of these clips 0.98

02:10:15.000 What the fuck? 1.00

02:10:45.000 What the fuck? 1.00

02:11:32.000 So let's go ahead and play this video. 1.00

02:11:33.000 Clip number two.

02:11:35.000 Sean Duffy here, Secretary of Transportation.

02:11:38.000 We've had a heart-wrenching week in aviation.

02:11:40.000 A couple days ago, I had a chance to sit down with a few of the family members who lost loved ones in the D.C. crash.

02:11:46.000 Their pain is unimaginable.

02:11:48.000 I committed transparency to them.

02:11:50.000 When I know information, I'm going to share it with them, but also with the American people up in Philadelphia.

02:11:55.000 We've sent a team of FAA investigators in conjunction with the NTSB. We're not going to have answers right away.

02:12:02.000 It's going to take time.

02:12:02.000 But as I get those answers, I'm going to share that with all of you.

02:12:06.000 I also had a conversation with Governor Shapiro, letting him know that whatever resources he needs from this department, we are going to partner with him and Philadelphia in whatever they need from the Department of Transportation.

02:12:18.000 Back in DC, yesterday we restricted the airspace around DCA from helicopter travel.

02:12:23.000 Making sure people feel safe as they come in and out of our capital city.

02:12:27.000 In the coming days we're gonna have more announcements.

02:12:30.000 I want Americans to feel confident in American air travel.

02:12:35.000 I think he's doing a great job.

02:12:37.000 Personally, I think that it's pretty awful that his first day on the job, he was thrown into a plane crash and then had to stay up all night, deal with the crash in Washington, D.C. for 72 hours, only to then have to address another very tragic plane crash in Philadelphia.

02:12:55.000 So I think that President Trump had an excellent...

02:12:59.000 Excellent choice in Sean Duffy.

02:13:01.000 A better response than we would probably see from Pete Buttigieg.

02:13:04.000 I mean, just look at his response in the aftermath of the bridge collapse that we saw in Baltimore, right?

02:13:10.000 Just look at his response to the tragedy in East Palestine.

02:13:14.000 He failed to rise to the occasion on multiple occasions, and I think that we're in a much better position today, and I feel...

02:13:23.000 Confident that President Trump's picks and his nominees are going to do a great job in providing us answers and transparency.

02:13:30.000 When do you remember over the last four years having nominees in the Biden administration or cabinet members who stayed up all night to have 2 a.m.

02:13:38.000 press conferences to give you answers?

02:13:40.000 It just seems like a fire hose being shoved down our throats every...

02:13:46.000 And it sounds unpleasant, but it's actually quite pleasant at the same time because every time I open up my phone, anytime I turn the news on or any single time I go on X, it seems like there's another update.

02:13:57.000 And it's overwhelming at times to keep up with because it's just like nonstop executive order, nonstop press conference, nonstop statement from the rapid response team at the White House.

02:14:07.000 House.

02:14:08.000 I think it's really incredible that they now have a rapid response 47 account on X where you can get rapid response updates on every single issue.

02:14:15.000 They're countering fake news updates from from the media and delivering real time facts.

02:14:20.000 They're streaming the White House press conferences.

02:14:23.000 I mean, I don't remember the last time the Biden administration ever streamed any of their press conferences.

02:14:28.000 Maybe I missed it.

02:14:29.000 But I do know I'm a pretty online individual, right?

02:14:31.000 I'm online Most of the day, because I'm a journalist and I'm posting, I'm writing articles, I'm interacting with people, I'm taking leads, taking tips from people, I'm doing show prep.

02:14:43.000 So I'm constantly plugged in.

02:14:45.000 And I really don't remember seeing this level of transparency or attentiveness from the Biden regime.

02:14:50.000 So I'm quite impressed because they're, what, on day 13 now?

02:14:54.000 Day 13 of the Trump administration and...

02:14:56.000 Every single time there's an emergency, whether today we saw the ISIS drone strikes, whether it's Sean Duffy dealing with multiple plane crashes, whether it's Caroline Levitt giving multiple press briefings in one week, the Trump administration is doing a great job keeping the American people informed and we have a sense of transparency.

02:15:17.000 And they're also shedding a light into a lot of the lies from the previous administration.

02:15:22.000 Now we know what happened with the drones, right?

02:15:24.000 And a lot of people are now able to see that Biden has been lying about a lot of things.

02:15:29.000 And we're going to get into this in the next segment.

02:15:32.000 But also, hello, how many Americans were even aware that we had hostages, American hostages in Venezuela?

02:15:37.000 I had people texting me saying, we had hostages in Venezuela?

02:15:40.000 No idea.

02:15:41.000 No idea whatsoever.

02:15:42.000 So we're going to get into that, but before that, I want to take a moment again to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, and that is Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

02:15:51.000 We had Dr. Kirk Elliott on the show tonight, so please be sure that you visit his website.

02:15:55.000 Do not let the green agenda tick you off and put you into a tailspin when you can take advantage of it.

02:16:01.000 As we spoke about tonight, there is one commodity that is needed for solar power.

02:16:05.000 Battery power for electric vehicles, nuclear power, and it is a vital component in missiles, torpedoes, and aerospace.

02:16:12.000 Silver is needed for all of that, and recent developments are creating an insurmountable problem for all of these industries.

02:16:19.000 Physical silver is running out, and when it runs out, these manufacturers will pay almost any price and simply pass it on to the consumer or the taxpayer as Dr. Kirk.

02:16:29.000 Eloquently and very openly explained to you tonight in an hour-long interview here on Loomer Unleashed.

02:16:35.000 What if you were the person that owned what they are going to need?

02:16:39.000 You can be, as he said.

02:16:40.000 You can call Kirk Elliott Precious Metals today to purchase physical silver.

02:16:44.000 I've decided to partner with Dr. Kirk Elliott and...

02:17:15.000 Again, 720-605-3900.

02:17:46.000 So again, moving on, as I was just saying, a lot of the accomplishments that are coming out of the Trump administration over these last 13 days, like a fire hose aimed straight at your throat, it's incredible So many people are unaware of all the problems that President Trump is fixing because of the chaos, the amount of chaos.

02:18:08.000 That Joe Biden created over the last four years with Kamala Harris.

02:18:11.000 So many people were just so overwhelmed that they either forgot or were completely unaware of some real pressing issues, including how many hostages we have all around the world.

02:18:21.000 So really incredible.

02:18:23.000 I think Rick Rennell is an amazing individual, very competent individual.

02:18:27.000 Again, I'm sure that there's going to be people that clip my segment about the pilot and they're going to say that I'm a homophobe.

02:18:33.000 But Rick Rennell is a friend of mine.

02:18:34.000 He's an openly gay man.

02:18:36.000 I have nothing against gay people.

02:18:37.000 He's an active example, a real-life example of a competent individual who is in his position not because he's gay, but because he actually has qualifications. 0.96

02:18:47.000 He just happens to be gay, too.

02:18:49.000 But you don't see Rick Grinnell going around saying, I'm a gay man, I'm a gay man, I'm a gay man. 0.91

02:18:53.000 Give me this, give me that.

02:18:54.000 Like all the Biden people and everybody who seems to be an elected official who's gay or transgender in the Democrat Party today.

02:19:01.000 So let's go ahead and here we go.

02:19:03.000 We have this article.

02:19:04.000 Trump says Venezuela has agreed to accept the migrants back.

02:19:07.000 Laws return of hostages.

02:19:08.000 So we had no idea that they were going on a hostage rescue mission.

02:19:12.000 We heard on Friday, yesterday, during the White House press briefing.

02:19:16.000 That Rick Grinnell was in the Oval Office with President Trump and he had embarked to Venezuela to have a conversation with Nicolas Maduro, dictator Venezuela, about the acceptance of the repatriation flights of Venezuelan illegal aliens.

02:19:33.000 We know that...

02:19:34.000 Kristi Noem and the Trump administration and Tom Homan have ended Biden's years of temporary protected status and parole, this abusive system of parole for Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans that was taken advantage of by criminal illegal aliens all throughout our country.

02:19:51.000 And a lot of the criminal illegals in our country are from Venezuela.

02:19:55.000 I spoke about this extensively, not just yesterday, but also...

02:20:00.000 On previous episodes of Loomer Unleashed and over the last year when I traveled to Panama and I was in the Darien Gap because the majority of the criminal illegal aliens I saw traversing the jungles of Panama and Colombia trying to get into the United States were Venezuelan.

02:20:15.000 They were Venezuelan men.

02:20:16.000 So it's very good that they have convinced, President Trump and Rick Grinnell have convinced Nicolas Maduro to accept the repatriation flights and also pay for it.

02:20:26.000 Also pay for it.

02:20:27.000 We have some clips here of the hostages from Venezuela on the phone with President Trump on the airplane when they flew back on a private jet with Rick Grinnell.

02:20:36.000 And we also have video of Rick Grinnell meeting with the hostages in Venezuela.

02:20:40.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number 17. I had Donald Trump all over my prison cell.

02:20:45.000 I love you, Donald Trump.

02:20:46.000 Thank you.

02:20:47.000 Thank you.

02:20:47.000 Greg Werber here.

02:20:48.000 Thank you.

02:20:49.000 I can't believe we're here.

02:20:51.000 This is incredible.

02:20:52.000 I'm walking on a cloud.

02:20:53.000 We love you, Trump.

02:20:54.000 We love you, Trump.

02:20:56.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

02:20:58.000 Thank you.

02:20:59.000 So we really owe a lot of gratitude and appreciation to Rick Rennell, who is the special missions envoy for the Trump administration.

02:21:23.000 And he's going to be doing this a lot, traveling to some of the most dangerous hot zones in the world, negotiating hostage deals and meeting with dictators and meeting with our adversaries.

02:21:34.000 But he does a fantastic job, and we wish him the best.

02:21:37.000 And really, thank you so much to Rick Rennell for helping to bring home hostages that so many Americans were unaware of.

02:21:45.000 So many people were texting me yesterday saying, I had no idea that we had hostages in Venezuela.

02:21:49.000 We know about the hostages in Gaza.

02:21:52.000 We know about the hostages that Steve Wyckoff and the Middle East envoy and President Trump have been working hard to get a hostage release for.

02:22:00.000 We also have news of new American citizen hostages who are being held by Hamas in Gaza who were also released yesterday.

02:22:06.000 So it was a great day for America because we're really restoring respect throughout the world.

02:22:13.000 It goes to show you how weak Joe Biden is.

02:22:15.000 You add even Democrats.

02:22:17.000 I saw Ryan Grimm, right?

02:22:18.000 Ryan Grimm, who's a very popular leftist reporter, who posted earlier today that it was embarrassing for the Biden administration that Rick Grinnell was able to accomplish what the Biden administration wasn't able to do in four years, but Rick Grinnell accomplished it in one week.

02:22:35.000 So here we go.

02:22:35.000 We have this clip, this tweet here from Ryan Grimm.

02:22:38.000 Let's open it up.

02:22:40.000 Deeply embarrassing for Biden and Democrats that Rick Rennell was able to immediately get these Americans home.

02:22:46.000 Happy for them and their families, though.

02:22:48.000 And you can scroll down and see it says, Rick Rennell secures the release of six Americans following negotiations with Venezuela.

02:22:55.000 He shared a photo with them upon the departure.

02:22:59.000 See his post below.

02:23:03.000 Pretty incredible, right?

02:23:04.000 They just sent Rick Grinnell over to Venezuela to meet with Maduro and, what, Joe Biden couldn't do this?

02:23:09.000 Joe Biden couldn't demand the release of the hostages?

02:23:11.000 So, again, guys, we're 13 days into the Trump administration and Donald Trump has done more for hostages, more for America than Joe Biden did during his entire administration.

02:23:22.000 It shows you how weak the administration was.

02:23:25.000 It's forcing even Democrats and leftists to admit it.

02:23:28.000 There's no denying this.

02:23:32.000 Totally insane.

02:23:36.000 We have a White House statement about the release of the hostages held by Hamas.

02:23:42.000 Let's go ahead and get that true social statement up from President Trump that he posted today, in case you missed it.

02:23:49.000 White House press statement.

02:23:51.000 Today, Americans celebrate the return of American Israeli citizen Keith Siegel and two Israelis who were held captive by Hamas terrorists since October 7th, 2023. President Trump and his administration have worked diligently to secure their release and are committed to freeing all remaining hostages.

02:24:08.000 Caroline, love it.

02:24:10.000 That's great.

02:24:16.000 It's really great.

02:24:18.000 Some other news in case you missed it.

02:24:21.000 Obviously, we began January 1 of this year with an ISIS terrorist attack in New Orleans.

02:24:27.000 We had an ISIS terrorist who decided to Ram his vehicle into New Year's Eve celebrations on Bourbon Street, killing multiple people.

02:24:37.000 Then we had another terrorist attack where an individual, they say, blew up a cyber truck in front of Trump Tower, same day.

02:24:46.000 And so we started out the new year with an ISIS terrorist attack on U.S. soil, which is something that President Trump warned was going to happen if we didn't secure our border and if we didn't Get strong leadership back into the White House and if we didn't eliminate DEI from our military. 0.79

02:25:02.000 And now that President Trump is back in control, now that he's back in the White House, he's been officially inaugurated, he's carrying out airstrikes in Somalia against ISIS terrorists.

02:25:12.000 So there's the difference in leadership.

02:25:14.000 Under Joe Biden, we get attacked by ISIS on day one of 2025. Under President Trump, in the second month of the year in which he finally has...

02:25:26.000 We have airstrikes on ISIS terrorists in Somalia.

02:25:29.000 Another promise made, another promise kept.

02:25:32.000 He said that he was going to eradicate ISIS, and we saw through weak foreign policy and a support for terrorist organization and open borders under the Biden regime that we saw a rise in global Islamic terrorists, whether it be Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Iran, Iranian proxies.

02:25:50.000 ISIS, a global rise in Islamic terrorism, and now President Trump is crushing it.

02:25:56.000 He threatened Hamas.

02:25:57.000 He said there's going to be hell to pay in the Middle East if those hostages are not returned.

02:26:00.000 And what do we have?

02:26:01.000 The hostages are now being returned, and Hamas is playing ball. 0.93

02:26:05.000 They're releasing the hostages.

02:26:07.000 We're getting a ceasefire agreement.

02:26:09.000 Steve Wyckoff flew to Israel.

02:26:11.000 He flew to Qatar, had his negotiations.

02:26:14.000 Boom.

02:26:14.000 Why couldn't Biden do this?

02:26:16.000 Why couldn't Biden bring how many hostages?

02:26:18.000 There's so much unnecessary suffering that has happened due to bad leadership at the hands of Joe Biden.

02:26:27.000 Here we have President Trump's True Social, in case you missed it, his True Social post about the airstrikes.

02:26:34.000 This morning, I ordered precision military airstrikes on the senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia.

02:26:40.000 These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our allies.

02:26:44.000 The strikes destroyed the caves they live in and killed many terrorists without in any way harming civilians.

02:26:50.000 Our military has targeted this ISIS attack planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn't act quickly enough, probably 'cause they wanted to protect him.

02:26:57.000 And then we had an ISIS terrorist attack on U.S. soil on January 1, 2025. Imagine that.

02:27:03.000 Biden and his cronies wouldn't act quickly enough to get the job done.

02:27:06.000 I did. 1.00

02:27:07.000 The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that we will find you and we will kill you. 1.00

02:27:12.000 That's the type of leadership that we need. 1.00

02:27:15.000 He tells Hamas there's going to be hell to pay. 1.00

02:27:17.000 He tells Colombia, F-A-F-O, fuck around, find out. 1.00

02:27:20.000 He tells ISIS, we will find you, we will kill you, you will die like a dog. 1.00

02:27:25.000 You will die like a dog, as he said in the past. 1.00

02:27:32.000 We also have a video, some video footage of those airstrikes that was released by President Trump tonight that he posted on True Social.

02:27:41.000 Let's go ahead and play.

02:27:42.000 It's right there at the bottom, the green clip.

02:27:43.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

02:27:45.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

02:28:15.000 Let's go ahead and play the clip.

02:28:32.000 Joe Biden allowed for Islamic terrorists to have more power and more access. 0.96

02:28:38.000 They have invaded our country, and President Trump is killing them and posting the videos of the airstrikes on True Social. 0.99

02:28:45.000 Pretty great.

02:28:46.000 I like it.

02:28:47.000 I like it.

02:28:49.000 Some other news that happened today in the midst of all of the nonstop announcements from the Trump administration.

02:28:58.000 The Democrats, of course, are still reeling from their massive loss.

02:29:02.000 And they really just can't come to terms with it.

02:29:04.000 They are not going to learn their lesson. 1.00

02:29:06.000 They don't understand that we don't want more of their woke bullshit. 1.00

02:29:09.000 We don't want any more of their gay trans bullshit. 1.00

02:29:12.000 We don't want it. 1.00

02:29:13.000 That's what people rejected. 0.99

02:29:15.000 We don't want any more open borders bullshit. 0.97

02:29:18.000 But today, what do you have? 0.97

02:29:20.000 You have another radical Democrat who's friends with Ilhan Omar, who comes from the Minnesota Democrat Party, who was elected today to oversee the Democrat Party.

02:29:30.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number five.

02:29:34.000 His name is Ken Martin.

02:29:36.000 There are billionaires out there that have been with Democrats who share our values, and we will take their money, but we're not taking money from those bad billionaires.

02:29:45.000 Thank you, Joe Martin.

02:29:49.000 So I posted some screenshots of some of his tweets earlier today.

02:29:54.000 And you can pull it up and you can see for yourself.

02:29:57.000 But he's now the new DNC chair.

02:29:59.000 And he is very good friends with Ilhan Omar.

02:30:03.000 So again, what do we have?

02:30:05.000 We have Joe Biden who created a culture that was... 1.00

02:30:09.000 Friendly towards, welcoming towards invaders, criminals, rapists, murderers, Islamic terrorists. 1.00

02:30:14.000 We saw under his leadership, we had an ISIS terrorist attack on U.S. soil. 1.00

02:30:19.000 We saw dangerous Islamic terrorists coming across our border. 1.00

02:30:23.000 And now, what do the Democrats do?

02:30:25.000 After a devastating loss, they elect a Minnesota Democrat Party official, Ken Martin, to be the new DNC chair.

02:30:34.000 Minnesota, okay, is the number one ISIS recruitment location in the entire United States of America.

02:30:40.000 Then it's Michigan, according to FBI statistics.

02:30:44.000 Ilhan Omar herself has advocated for the release of individuals in her own home district.

02:30:49.000 You can look it up and see for yourself.

02:30:51.000 I've reported on this extensively, who were found to be providing material supports to ISIS. Fled Minnesota, and they wanted to travel to Somalia, and they wanted to travel to Syria, Somalia, right, where President Trump carried out these airstrikes today to join ISIS so that they could come back and attack Americans.

02:31:10.000 You can look that up, actually.

02:31:12.000 Let's show people, because some people might find this to be so unbelievable, but it is true.

02:31:16.000 Type in Ilhan Omar leniency, ISIS, Minnesota.

02:31:25.000 There you go.

02:31:25.000 First thing that pops up.

02:31:29.000 So this was in 2016. And mind you, I was one of the first people to expose Ilhan Omar before she was ever even elected as a member of Congress.

02:31:38.000 So there's videos of me showing up to her campaign events, pressing her on this, and the new chair of the DNC, Ken Martin, is friends with her.

02:31:47.000 So...

02:31:47.000 Again, they haven't learned their lesson.

02:31:49.000 They're extremely radical.

02:31:50.000 How are the Democrats going to have an individual as their chair who is openly embracing and promoting a jihadist who is serving in Congress? 0.97

02:31:58.000 Ilhan Omar is a Jew-hating, pro-Islamic terror jihadist. 0.97

02:32:02.000 She does not belong in this country. 1.00

02:32:04.000 She committed immigration fraud, and she should be deported personally. 0.83

02:32:08.000 Here we go.

02:32:09.000 November 10, 2016. Ilhan Omar asked judge for compassion in ISIS recruit sentencing.

02:32:15.000 You can scroll down and...

02:32:16.000 Read the article, see for yourself.

02:32:19.000 Nine Minnesota men charged with planning to join ISIS are scheduled to be sentenced next week.

02:32:23.000 Ahead of those court dates, 13 letters were sent to Judge Michael Davis in the case of defendant... 0.99

02:32:28.000 I can't even pronounce their fucked up names, honestly. 0.96

02:32:32.000 I mean, honestly, what is that? 0.99

02:32:34.000 What kind of name is that?

02:32:35.000 Including a letter from State Representative Ilhan Omar, because of course, before becoming a United States Congresswoman, she was a state representative in Minnesota, which has been totally taken over by Muslims. 0.96

02:32:46.000 Who on election night became, there's a typo there, the first elected Somali-American lawmaker in the nation.

02:32:53.000 As if that's something to be happy about.

02:32:55.000 Like, why are we celebrating this?

02:32:56.000 Why is that beneficial for our country?

02:32:59.000 We're doing airstrikes in Somalia because these people are so radical.

02:33:03.000 Al-Shabaab, ISIS. Oh, yeah.

02:33:05.000 We really want to have a Somali lawmaker here in America. 0.95

02:33:09.000 Yeah, it's going to really culturally enrich us so much to have a woman who's saying that some people did something on 9-11, and she's laughing when talking about Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, and she's inviting Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood officials to her office.

02:33:22.000 Yeah, amazing.

02:33:23.000 I really want to have more Muslims in our elected office.

02:33:27.000 No thanks.

02:33:28.000 Rep Omar asked Judge Davis for compassion and a restorative approach to justice, concluding that this ruling can set a precedent and has the potential to be a landmark case in addressing extremism.

02:33:39.000 Yeah, okay.

02:33:41.000 As if she wants to actually curb enthusiasm, she's advocating for members of ISIS who wanted to murder American citizens.

02:33:48.000 Her district in Minneapolis is the number one ISIS recruitment location for ISIS. So yeah, they're not going to be compelled to assimilate and not support terrorism when they have a representative who is supportive of their activities.

02:34:07.000 Dodd was, however you pronounce these names, I don't even know how to pronounce them because they're just so un-American, was one of two young men from the Twin Cities arrested in San Diego in April of 2015 in an alleged plot to buy fake passports to travel to Syria.

02:34:21.000 Federal prosecutors requested 30 years in prison for him with a lifetime of supervised release.

02:34:27.000 The 13 letters sent to Judge Davis on behalf of Dodd included similar pleas for leniency from Minnesota City Council member Abdi Wasser.

02:34:37.000 Again, I can't pronounce these names.

02:34:38.000 These people are not American. 0.98

02:34:40.000 Another Somali, another individual who sympathizes with terrorists, apparently. 1.00

02:34:47.000 What the fuck is writing letters to a judge advocating for leniency for ISIS terrorists? 0.99

02:34:52.000 A Minneapolis public school dean of students. 1.00

02:34:54.000 Can you imagine this?

02:34:56.000 A public school dean of students is advocating for the release and leniency for people who wanted to join ISIS. Again, this is all happening, and you've never seen this individual Ken Martin speak out about it.

02:35:09.000 You've never seen Ken Martin speak out about the fact that his state of Minnesota has been totally overrun by Islamic jihadists. 1.00

02:35:15.000 You've never seen him do it.

02:35:16.000 In fact, he's actually praised Ilhan Omar.

02:35:19.000 I posted a tweet.

02:35:19.000 Let's go ahead and get this tweet up, and then we'll go back to this article.

02:35:22.000 But show the tweet that I posted earlier.

02:35:24.000 You can scroll down on my feed, and you can just see for yourself that he's friends with Ilhan Omar.

02:35:29.000 A few down.

02:35:31.000 Tweet a lot, obviously.

02:35:33.000 Scroll down.

02:35:37.000 It's totally shocking.

02:35:41.000 keep on scrolling but it's just really concerning that this is what the Democrats Here we go.

02:35:56.000 Minnesota proud.

02:35:58.000 Congratulations to Ken Martin for your decisive victory.

02:36:01.000 So Ilhan Omar's standing right behind him on stage.

02:36:04.000 Why would you want Ilhan Omar to be on stage with you for anything?

02:36:09.000 I wouldn't even want to be in the same room with that ingrate unless I was confronting her with a camera in her face like I did in 2018. Why would you want to be on stage with Ilhan Omar?

02:36:18.000 Yeah, I want to be endorsed by the woman who said 9-11 happened because some people did something.

02:36:24.000 Scroll up and you can see what I tweeted earlier.

02:36:28.000 The new DNC chair is friends with Ilhan Omar.

02:36:30.000 The Democrat Party won't be winning elections by normalizing jihadists in Congress. 0.95

02:36:34.000 They will never learn.

02:36:39.000 Here we have clip number 19 of Ken Martin introducing himself.

02:36:42.000 Let's go out and play this clip.

02:36:47.000 Hi, I'm Ken Martin, the new chair of the Democratic National Committee.

02:36:51.000 I am so honored to serve in this role.

02:36:53.000 Let me tell you three quick things about myself.

02:36:55.000 One, I've been the chair of the...

02:36:57.000 Minnesota DFL, which is the Democratic Farmer Labor Party, for the last 14 years.

02:37:01.000 Two, and more importantly, we've used the power that we've built in Minnesota to have generational change that's impacting the lives of hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans right now.

02:37:11.000 Three, we need to expand this model nationwide.

02:37:14.000 We need to contest races up and down the ballot, and we need to win in every zip code for this Democratic Party, most importantly, for our values.

02:37:22.000 There are millions of Americans who are relying on us right now to meet.

02:37:26.000 This moment and I'm excited to be in this fight with you. 0.99

02:37:29.000 Hey guys, we just watched Kamala Harris and Tim Walls get their ass kicked by J.D. Vance and President Trump. 0.99

02:37:36.000 So what are we going to do?

02:37:38.000 Let's have the guy who led the Democrat Party in Minnesota become the chair of the Democrat Party nationally.

02:37:45.000 Because yeah, we've really seen how politicians from Minnesota have garnered so much respect nationally, whether it be Ilhan Omar or Tim Walls. 0.99

02:37:54.000 Yeah, we're really going to be able to win elections when Americans are sick and tired of woke bullshit. 0.98

02:38:00.000 How is the head of the Democrat Party in Minnesota going to explain his support for the George Floyd riots and the invasion of our state by Somali Muslims? 0.99

02:38:09.000 The Democrats just have no sense of reality.

02:38:14.000 They are completely out of touch. 0.98

02:38:16.000 And what's really funny about this actually, aside from the fact that the Democrats are just a mess, is the fact that they elected A white male.

02:38:25.000 So already you're seeing comments under the Democrats page on X and you're already seeing comments Online in Democrat forums where people are like, you just see all the racism and the misogyny, even with our own party. 0.85

02:38:38.000 How are we going to support the patriarchy and white supremacy by electing a white male chair of the DNC? It's just such a toxic culture. 0.98

02:38:47.000 And America is ridding itself.

02:38:49.000 As President Trump said, there was a mandate to implement his policies.

02:38:52.000 And we saw people from all sides of the political spectrum, including Democrats, cross over.

02:38:57.000 You saw people like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

02:39:00.000 Who have historically been Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard, the former vice chair of the DNC, denouncing the Democrat Party, coming out and endorsing President Trump.

02:39:08.000 So they're never going to learn, clearly.

02:39:11.000 They're never going to learn.

02:39:12.000 And I just think it's really funny that now they're not even happy.

02:39:16.000 This guy's such a radical, first of all, he's such a radical progressive leftist, but they're not even going to want to accept him because he's a white male.

02:39:26.000 I think it's really funny. 0.76

02:39:29.000 They're so disorganized and they're eating themselves.

02:39:34.000 And here is a video clip.

02:39:36.000 Let's play clip number 20 of the Democrats dancing at their meeting today.

02:39:40.000 It was very cringe.

02:39:41.000 I don't know if you caught any of the programming of their meeting where they selected their new chair, but they were doing TikTok dances.

02:39:48.000 And again, it just shows you how out of touch with reality these people are.

02:39:52.000 Let's go ahead and play clip number 20. Definitely

02:40:28.000 put your comments in the chat.

02:40:29.000 I want to know what you guys think about this.

02:42:02.000 That's good.

02:42:03.000 I'm glad that people are starting to see my posts again.

02:42:06.000 Lister Bill said, today your post showed up in my feed.

02:42:11.000 Liberty said, Hi Laura, are you related to Barbra Streisand?

02:42:14.000 Has anybody ever mentioned you kind of look like her?

02:42:17.000 It's so funny because I have been told that before.

02:42:19.000 I'm not related to her.

02:42:20.000 But as many of you know, I had a nose job several years ago, like almost 10 years ago, 11 years ago.

02:42:27.000 And I had a really bad deviated septum.

02:42:29.000 If you think my voice is nasally now, you should have heard my voice 11 years ago.

02:42:34.000 But my nose before was like a spitting image to Barbra Streisand.

02:42:38.000 So it's funny that you...

02:42:40.000 I think I look like Barbra Streisand now, 'cause you should have seen what I looked like pre-nose job.

02:42:45.000 Let's see.

02:42:52.000 Law Hustler said, "LOL, they shouldn't be celebrating They lost.

02:42:58.000 Again, they're completely out of touch with reality.

02:43:01.000 I guess these people are just never going to learn their lesson.

02:43:08.000 I don't really understand why they're dancing.

02:43:10.000 If I was them, I would...

02:43:11.000 They're the ones that should be replicating President Trump's policies of eradicating DEI. They should try to put some normal people in positions of power and instead of attacking a white male who they nominated, I mean, this guy obviously is not the best example.

02:43:28.000 Yeah, he's a white male, but he clearly supports all the DEI initiatives and he's a radical, right?

02:43:32.000 So he's not...

02:43:33.000 He's not like a masculine, normal white male, right? 0.80

02:43:37.000 But you would think that they would say, okay, let's actually show that we're normal.

02:43:40.000 Let's nominate a white male who's going to eradicate DEI policies, have strong economic policy, and actually make Americans think that we care about them, that we don't think that they're racist, and that we don't think that they're a bunch of extremists.

02:43:54.000 Let's actually secure our borders.

02:43:56.000 borders, but they're just incapable of realizing that the American people voted in mass and there was a mandate on issues like eradicating DEI, securing our borders, mass deporting criminal illegal aliens and fixing our economy and putting America first.

02:44:11.000 They're never going to learn.

02:44:12.000 Thank you.

02:44:13.000 Thank you.

02:44:20.000 All right, everybody.
