Today, the White House imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% on China. This happened in spite of Canadian and Mexican diplomats pleading their case throughout Washington D.C. over the past few days.
00:21:28.000Tonight 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.
00:21:39.000Throughout his campaign, President Trump promised voters that these countries would be brought to heel for decades of trade imbalances, drug smuggling, and illegal immigration.
00:21:48.000Moreover, 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.
00:22:01.000Now, just a few days into his administration, he is fulfilling that promise.
00:22:05.000Today, the White House officially imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% on China.
00:22:14.000Trump has also promised that additional tariffs may be coming, especially on Canadian oil and gas.
00:22:20.000This happened in spite of Canadian and Mexican diplomats pleading their case throughout Washington, D.C. over the past few days.
00:22:28.000But their efforts were in vain, as Trump basically told them not to waste their breath.
00:22:32.000But how exactly do tariffs work, and why are they beneficial to the United States?
00:22:37.000Well, 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.
00:22:47.000A tariff is simply an extra fee placed on goods entering the country.
00:22:51.000This fee is paid by the company or the manufacturer shipping their goods to America.
00:22:56.000So, for example, a 25% tariff on a $100 item would mean that the maker must pay $25 just to get it into the country.
00:23:05.000That fee is sent straight to the federal government, just like any other tax.
00:23:09.000Companies often run rather tight profit margins, meaning that they cannot simply eat that fee.
00:23:17.000They raise the price of their item to $125 to cover the tariff and ensure that they are still making a profit.
00:23:24.000Now imagine a company in America that had also been making that same product for the same exact price.
00:23:32.000Suddenly, consumers are going to flock to the item that has remained $100, rather than the one that just got bumped up to $125.
00:23:41.000In this way, American businesses are protected from foreign competition and they can flourish.
00:23:47.000In 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.
00:24:01.000So why are we seeing all of the pushback from economists and politicians?
00:24:08.000This is a subject that I've talked about extensively on previous episodes of Loomer Unleashed.
00:24:14.000The world has been living in the neoliberal economic consensus since the end of the Second World War.
00:24:19.000In the years immediately following that conflict, the nations of the world got together and established several supranational organizations.
00:24:30.000The United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund all being examples.
00:24:35.000These were tasked with maintaining diplomacy and enforcing a new economic philosophy.
00:24:40.000Specifically, that philosophy was neoliberalism, and it was a product of the 1944 Bretton Woods Convention.
00:24:48.000There, 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.
00:24:58.000Here in 2025, if China and the United States were to go to war, the entire global economy would be brought to its knees.
00:25:05.000Supply 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.
00:25:15.000In other words, even the threat of war can have a chilling effect on every nation's economy.
00:25:21.000Therefore, in some sense, globalization and free trade maintain world peace.
00:25:26.000However, the unintended consequences of free trade, globalization and the world economy have devastated this nation.
00:25:35.000A short road trip through the Rust Belt would prove that.
00:25:38.000Much 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.
00:25:51.000We see entire towns still in near ruin.
00:25:55.000Their once-great factories looming on the outskirts of town, giant steel skeletons of once-great industries and better times.
00:26:03.000President Trump and J.D. Vance understand the devastation of free trade on the middle class, and they are taking action.
00:26:10.000Moreover, 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.
00:26:21.000Trump is going to make this nation rich again, all while lowering or even eliminating the income tax.
00:26:27.000Additionally, 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.
00:26:37.000The 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.
00:26:48.000It is time that they start to pay actual reparations for the damage inflicted on the American people.
00:26:54.000The tariffs implemented today are therefore not only a fulfillment of a Trump campaign promise, but also a paradigm shift.
00:27:02.000Trump 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.
00:27:15.000America will rightfully assert her position as a world power once again, bending the will of lesser nations to meet our own.
00:27:22.000And America will once again become a wealthy nation, able to afford mega projects, begin cutting the deficit, and rebuild the American dream.

00:29:26.000And also, we're going to be talking about the two plane crashes that happened.
00:29:30.000Actually, there were three this week, but two of them are really dominating the news headlines.
00:29:34.000We have some developments tonight after the name of the third individual on board that Black Hawk Army helicopter was released tonight.
00:29:44.000But the news that's really swept the country and also really swept the entire world.
00:29:49.000Is the fact that today, February 1st, President Trump officially implemented tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
00:29:57.000And 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.
00:30:09.000I want to go ahead and play some of these clips.
00:30:11.000We have clip number three of President Trump promising to put tariffs on China and Mexico on the campaign trail.
00:30:18.000I'm showing these clips because it's another promise made, promise kept.
00:30:23.000And you have all this outrage from Canada and you have outrage from Mexico.
00:30:28.000Claudia Schennebaum and Justin Trudeau are expected to be meeting tonight to have conversations about...
00:30:35.000The tariffs and Mexico and Canada are now having discussions about retaliating against the United States government and President Trump's administration for these tariffs.
00:30:45.000But 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%.
00:31:15.000As 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.
00:31:25.000So 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.
00:31:46.000We'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.
00:31:59.000And we're going to give them a little period of time.
00:32:02.000But we don't want drugs coming across our border or any border.
00:32:06.000And whether it's Mexico or Canada or wherever, because they're starting now in Canada, they're starting to go up north.
00:32:13.000But 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.
00:32:31.000And they're making a lot of money in the United States.
00:32:46.000And 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.
00:33:06.000And you've never heard that from anybody but me.
00:33:09.000And 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.
00:33:17.000But I say it now because now we have the election coming up in a matter of hours, hours, hours.
00:33:26.000And we're not going to let them destroy our country.
00:33:34.000Trump is staying true to his word and he said he's not going to let them destroy our country.
00:34:51.000I believe he was from Ecuador, if I'm not mistaken.
00:34:53.000He 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.
00:35:04.000And so he said that if you give the Mexican cartels $15, they will turn a blind eye, the Mexican police.
00:35:12.000You have cartels who are literally members of the Mexican police force and members of the Mexican army.
00:35:22.000Turning a blind eye to illegal aliens running a human trafficking operation.
00:35:26.000So imagine if you have over 12 million illegal aliens crossing through the Mexican border and Mexican police are charging $15.
00:35:46.000So this is happening, and Mexico has refused to crack down on it.
00:35:51.000They have pretended like this isn't happening.
00:35:54.000We 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.
00:36:23.000Too bad, you're going to have to pay a price.
00:36:27.000Let'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.
00:36:40.000This is what really gets at the heart of why the president imposed these specifically on Canada and Mexico.
00:36:46.000It 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.
00:36:57.000Now, 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.
00:37:27.000Let's go ahead and play clip number four of President Trump saying that tariffs don't cause inflation, they cause success.
00:37:35.000I had almost no inflation, and yet I charged hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs to countries.
00:37:42.000And to think of it, I had almost no inflation, and I took in 600 billion dollars of money from other countries.
00:37:53.000And tariffs don't cause inflation, they cause success.
00:37:57.000They cause big success, so we're going to have great success.
00:38:02.000Now, 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.
00:38:14.000Let's go ahead and play clip number 11. Well, you're asking me a question because I'm sure you didn't hear.
00:38:28.000Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union?
00:38:56.000The European Union has treated us so terribly.
00:39:02.000So, of course, the media is freaking out.
00:39:05.000And it's my understanding that apparently, as I went live right now, Justin Trudeau is having a press conference entrusting the tariffs.
00:39:12.000So, Cannon's going to go ahead and pull some of those clips.
00:39:15.000We're going to have Dr. Kirk Elliott joining us momentarily.
00:39:18.000So, 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.
00:39:26.000So, we have some incoming videos happening live as we are live right now.
00:39:32.000So we have a clip of Justin Trudeau saying that Canada will mount a forceful response to U.S. tariffs.
00:39:38.000Let'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.
00:39:49.000Now, we don't know precisely what that could look like, but I do know two things.
00:39:55.000Choose to implement any tariffs against Canada, we're ready with a response.
00:40:00.000A purposeful, forceful, but reasonable, immediate response.
00:40:05.000We won't relent until tariffs are removed and, of course, everything is on the table.
00:40:11.000Part 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.
00:40:48.000Tariffs 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.
00:40:57.000And 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.
00:41:19.000So what happens to your money in the bank when BRICS nations continue their economic warfare against the United States?
00:41:39.000Did you know that the FDIC only has about 1.2% of 1.2% of all deposits insured.
00:41:46.000It doesn't take much for a bank run significantly worse than what we saw after Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic failed.
00:41:53.000You need to get out of the system with the world's safest assets, silver and gold.
00:41:59.000There are a lot of garbage companies out there that will sell you high-priced collectibles, silver and gold, but don't fall for it.
00:42:06.000I've decided to partner with Kirk Elliott Precious Metals as Dr. Kirk cares about you.
00:42:11.000He's trustworthy, honest, and he educates you before you make a purchase to make sure that it's right for you.
00:42:16.000Listen, he only deals with low-cost bullion that doesn't carry high premiums, and what I love is that physical metals can only be placed in your IRA as well.
00:42:27.000So call Dr. Kirk Elliott today at 720-605-3900 or schedule a call online today at kepm.com and get out of the system with one of the safest and most private assets in the world.
00:42:48.000So we're going to talk about this with Dr. Kirk Elliott.
00:42:51.000And look, we are reeling from an economic crisis.
00:42:54.000President Trump has been in the White House for, what, 13 days now?
00:42:58.000And 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.
00:43:09.000So President Trump is implementing tariffs.
00:43:13.000Trying to deal with four years of disastrous policies by the Biden regime that has left America with a disastrous economic crisis.
00:43:22.000And now what are we seeing with global tensions with the BRIC nations and the implementation of tariffs?
00:43:29.000We're seeing record high prices of gold.
00:43:31.000Here'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.
00:43:39.000These are the headlines that you may have seen in the news or maybe you haven't.
00:43:42.000I 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.
00:43:56.000But here we have this Reuters article.
00:43:58.000Gold surges past 2800 as tariff threats reignite record rally.
00:44:05.000Gold 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.
00:44:19.000Spot cold revved 0.3% to $2,801.29 per ounce after hitting a record peak of $2,817.23 earlier in the session.
00:44:34.000Trump 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.
00:44:44.000So 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.
00:45:05.000Dr. Kirk, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
00:45:59.000People 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.
00:46:08.000This is the goal of making America great again, because Jobs always follow manufacturing, right?
00:46:15.000So when we're exporting, when we're buying imports, we're exporting jobs, Laura.
00:46:20.000This has been going on for presidents in the past, whether it was Biden or both Bushes or Clinton or Obama, right?
00:46:29.000They're exporting jobs as the appetite for cheap goods from these other countries was so big.
00:46:36.000Well, that's a problem when we export jobs.
00:46:40.000Because now we have an unemployment mess under the Biden administration.
00:46:49.000And just as I said before, before you join me, we are in the middle of an economic crisis.
00:46:54.000It's not just all sunshine, rainbows and unicorns just because President Trump's been in office for 13 days.
00:46:59.000Yes, you know, a lot of great things have happened, but we are still reeling from the economic crisis created by the Biden regime.
00:47:05.000And as you just stated correctly, and as I said in my opening monologue, this is good for American businesses.
00:47:11.000These tariffs are going to finally give American businesses that have been shafted by the Biden regime.
00:47:22.000It'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.
00:47:32.000And so it's really interesting to see them talking about how, oh my God, it's going to increase the cost of products.
00:47:37.000It shows you that these economists, and it shows you that the Democrat pundits, and unfortunately, even some Republicans.
00:47:44.000I mean, you see Senator Rand Paul attacking President Trump.
00:47:46.000President Trump as well today for these policies too.
00:47:49.000They 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.
00:48:06.000There's always going to be competition.
00:48:07.000There's not a sole single manufacturer of any product in this country.
00:48:15.000If 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.
00:48:25.000Trump is going to grow the economy substantially.
00:48:27.000Well, 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.
00:48:44.000And saying, okay, the Trump trade is going to be great for America.
00:48:47.000Now Trump's tariffs are going to be awful for America.
00:48:50.000And we're betting billions of dollars that the stock market is going to take a huge digger.
00:48:55.000And they're putting short positions on it.
00:48:57.000Well, it's almost like a self-fulfilling property.
00:49:00.000When 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.
00:49:11.000And so, as they say, the stock market's gonna collapse.
00:49:14.000We're doing multi-billion dollar bets on this.
00:50:01.000This is a political shot across the bow of Trump tariffs.
00:50:07.000Because 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?
00:50:24.000I 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.
00:50:48.000I wouldn't trust any Chinese technology.
00:50:51.000I 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.
00:51:00.000Because it doesn't matter whether it's TikTok or whether it's DeepSeek, I don't trust any Chinese technology.
00:51:06.000I even question iPhones these days, even though I myself have an iPhone.
00:51:11.000I mean, I know it might sound a little hypocritical, but it really makes me wonder.
00:51:15.000You 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?
00:51:23.000And what are they doing with this data?
00:51:24.000Did people even bother to read the terms of service?
00:51:27.000You 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.
00:51:44.000And it's basically CCP spyware that everybody is downloading onto their phone.
00:51:49.000And so I think it's a coordinated attack.
00:51:52.000I don't think that you're wrong in this.
00:51:53.000I think it's interesting that, you know, they had the cultural attack through TikTok and encouraging everybody to download Red Note.
00:52:02.000And then also one week after that, you saw what happened with DeepSeek.
00:53:06.000We don't really give anything to them.
00:53:08.000We're consumers of their products, which is why Trump wants to do this.
00:53:11.000The balance of trade is completely off.
00:53:14.000Number two, China owns almost a trillion dollars of U.S. Treasuries.
00:53:18.000So they could actually start dumping their U.S. Treasuries on the open market, which would devalue the dollar.
00:53:25.000But they still have a trillion dollars worth of these things.
00:53:28.000So that would almost shoot themselves in the foot if they do it too quick because they couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
00:53:34.000So number three, how about we actually release these things?
00:53:40.000Destroy 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.
00:53:48.000And who's going to get the blame for this?
00:54:09.000He's not going to cower to their pressure.
00:54:12.000But we're also seeing something else, Laura, happen.
00:54:16.000I 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.
00:54:34.000Just the news cycle has been an absolute whirlwind.
00:54:36.000But it's happened within the last three weeks.
00:54:39.000And 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.
00:54:49.000So, again, this happened in the lead up to the Trump inauguration.
00:54:53.000And 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.
00:55:02.000And again, you know, we saw that this this happened and then who was at the inauguration?
00:55:09.000The vice president of China just days later.
00:55:12.000I personally found it to be inappropriate.
00:55:13.000I don't know who on the Trump transition team thought it was a good idea.
00:55:17.000I 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...
00:55:38.000Especially in the midst of all of this growing conflict with China.
00:55:42.000But 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.
00:56:11.000Because the BRICS nations want to have their own common currency instead of using the yuan and the ruble and the rupee.
00:56:17.000You know, they want to have one common currency.
00:56:20.000Well, how do you de-dollarize the world?
00:56:22.000You have to kick America out of the sandbox, really, because we're still the reserve currency of the world.
00:56:27.000So 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?
00:56:48.000So how do you get rid of and erode confidence in the U.S. dollar?
00:56:53.000How about you erode the banking system, which you just alluded to in your opening comments.
00:56:58.000You know, FDIC only has 1.2% of all deposits insured, 1.2%.
00:57:03.000It doesn't take much to actually create a run on the banks if people were to understand that.
00:57:10.000It doesn't take much to actually get some of the big banks.
00:57:14.000I'm not talking regional banks like Silicon Valley or Signature Bank or First Republic or Credit Suisse, right?
00:57:20.000We're talking big banks that in the world that I live in, in the precious metals industry, right?
00:57:27.000It's like we're a very large precious metals broker.
00:57:31.000I see these banks, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, massive short positions on silver to manipulate the price.
00:57:42.000Well, 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.
00:57:52.000Well, this is happening right now, actually.
00:57:55.000Let's go ahead and get this article up on the screen.
00:57:59.000I mean, multiple news agencies had it.
00:58:01.000This is a Bloomberg article that was syndicated on multiple different news wires.
00:58:06.000But 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.
00:58:16.000And 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.
00:58:35.000But 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.
00:58:45.000Well, they've got a massive shortfall position right now because there's not enough inventory.
00:58:51.000And 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.
00:59:31.000Products, goods from Mexico and Canada are going to have a 25% tariff imposed on them.
00:59:39.000Well, 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?
00:59:49.000So 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.
01:00:06.000The price of gold and silver isn't the spot price.
01:00:09.000The price of gold and silver is the wholesale price plus whatever premium is imposed on that.
01:00:14.000Well, a 25% tariff is going to add to the cost of buying or selling.
01:00:18.000So when we wake up on Monday, you could see metals much higher in price, potentially.
01:00:24.000But even Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary said, across the board, universal tariffs of 2.5% a month increases.
01:00:33.000Well, that could impact the European Union.
01:01:53.000International money center banks, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Bank of America.
01:01:57.000That are going to start to get squeezed.
01:01:59.000And 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.
01:02:14.000And that's the part of economic warfare.
01:02:15.000If 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.
01:02:26.000They pull their money out of the markets.
01:02:27.000That'll have a negative effect on businesses nationwide.
01:02:32.000But 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?
01:02:43.000So the left is saying this is going to cause massive inflation.
01:02:48.000You 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.
01:02:58.000If 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.
01:03:05.000The 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.
01:03:15.000So as prices were going up, people's wages were coming down.
01:03:19.000Trump, 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.
01:03:30.000As more people are spending, the economy is ultimately going to grow.
01:03:33.000But I'm not saying this is going to happen overnight.
01:03:36.000We're going to have some turbulent times here, and people have to have faith and confidence in the system that Trump didn't develop.
01:03:46.000They're the Founding Father's idea, for crying out loud.
01:03:49.000You 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.
01:04:13.000That'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.
01:04:25.000The price of admission is a tariff on your goods, right?
01:04:29.000So are these countries and companies going to comply?
01:04:34.000One 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,
01:05:07.000in the year 2024 alone, over 40% increase in the amount of Chinese foreign nationals who were coming into our country illegally.
01:05:18.000Okay, refused to repatriate their deportees.
01:05:23.000And 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.
01:05:56.000I'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?
01:06:10.000And 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.
01:06:23.000And 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.
01:06:32.000People have to understand that even if some prices do go up temporarily, That's the cost of improving our national security.
01:06:40.000That'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.
01:06:49.000Unfortunately, that's what's going to happen.
01:06:52.000And so you see the Senate Democrats today saying, oh, the Super Bowl's coming up.
01:06:56.000You'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.
01:07:09.000I do not drink, but there are manufacturers of alcohol here in the United States of America.
01:07:15.000It'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.
01:07:23.000But we are spending billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars every single year providing health care to illegal aliens, providing...
01:07:32.000All types of services to illegal aliens.
01:07:35.000And at the end of the day, we have to now implement tariffs to make these countries pay us back.
01:07:40.000As I said in my opening monologue, it's a form of reparations.
01:07:45.000We are owed reparations for the weaponization of our borders, which has resulted in an economic crisis.
01:07:52.000It has resulted in a cultural collapse, a cultural crisis.
01:07:55.000And it's also resulted in the mass poisoning of millions of Americans.
01:08:01.000Who have been killed or have been subjected to bodily harm as a result of fentanyl overdoses.
01:08:09.000So 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.
01:08:23.000You know, it's not like what Trump is doing is trying to make a healthy economy healthier.
01:08:30.000A sick, almost dead economy survive, right?
01:08:34.000And 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.
01:08:46.000And so when you get to that point, you have to take more drastic measures.
01:08:50.000This is where, because we're such a large, consuming nation, very wealthy nation, even after Biden's economy, right?
01:08:57.000We're still America, for crying out loud.
01:09:00.000Yeah, why not weaponize our economy, so to speak, with tariffs in other countries?
01:09:09.000It's not an evil thing to use your clout and your might for the benefit of American citizens, right?
01:09:16.000We'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.
01:09:49.000Because we have been behind the eight ball for so long that now it's time that we finally have a strong leader.
01:09:56.000Who'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.
01:10:05.00013 days in, it's bill after bill, executive order, and all these things that are happening.
01:10:10.000We've never seen a president keep so many campaign promises.
01:10:13.000And 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.
01:10:35.000But, 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.
01:10:46.000And that's what President Trump said in his statement.
01:10:48.000Let's show his statement that he released on True Social earlier.
01:10:53.000And 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.
01:11:16.000calling them a racist, calling them a bigot.
01:11:21.000Protecting Americans is the main result, right?
01:11:27.000That's going to be the main result that Americans get as a result of these tariffs.
01:11:32.000And he said that he did this as a way to protect Americans.
01:11:39.000I mean, it's obviously because of greed.
01:11:40.000It's obviously because of their own selfless interests.
01:11:43.000A lot of these economists and political pundits are trying to gaslight people into thinking that this is going to harm them.
01:11:48.000People have to look at this and think to themselves, what is more harmful to you?
01:11:53.000Other nations receiving a 25% tax or you and your children being subjected to criminal, illegal, alien crime and fentanyl in your communities?
01:12:05.000It's really a form of not just weaponization of our borders.
01:12:11.000It's not just immigration warfare, economic warfare, but it's also a form of psychological warfare.
01:12:17.000And 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.
01:12:26.000But 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.
01:12:37.000Because we really have been subjected to severe forms of psychological warfare.
01:12:42.000To gaslight people into thinking that putting America first is bad.
01:12:46.000So let's go ahead and take a look at this statement.
01:12:51.000Let's get the little box out of the way, Cannon, on the screen.
01:12:57.000Oh, today I have implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, 10%.
01:13:12.000Today I've implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, 10% on Canadian energy, and a 10% additional tariff on China.
01:13:20.000This 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.
01:13:31.000We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as president to ensure the safety of all.
01:13:35.000I made a promise on my campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs.
01:13:40.000From pouring across our borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.
01:13:46.000So 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.
01:13:55.000There'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.
01:14:12.000And 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...
01:14:26.000Our 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.
01:15:19.000You make foreign goods more expensive.
01:15:22.000This is just, you know, it's not just, I think it's going to have multiple good news down the road.
01:15:30.000Yes, 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?
01:15:42.000Not 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.
01:16:04.000This is the economic warfare that actually is going to be amazing for America.
01:16:09.000We just haven't seen a president that's done this before.
01:16:13.000And so the big bankers and the politicians are like, what?
01:16:17.000No, we've got all kinds of money from this big farm in these other countries, and no, we can't do this.
01:16:30.000To 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.
01:17:01.000The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is over.
01:17:08.000We 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...
01:17:50.000I don't see what is so bad about this.
01:17:52.000It 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...
01:18:04.000Being 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.
01:18:23.000What are your thoughts on this statement?
01:18:25.000You must just be having a great day, right?
01:18:27.000Like, you, as the founder of Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, must be on cloud nine right now, giving up.
01:18:36.000I mean, are you not just having the best week ever or what?
01:18:40.000I mean, not just me, but America should be having the best week ever, right?
01:18:44.000We finally have somebody that's got our interest in putting them first.
01:18:48.000But 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?
01:18:58.000But 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%.
01:19:14.000So I don't think he's going to stop at 10%.
01:19:17.000I 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.
01:19:32.000You go into Walmart, probably 80% of everything in there is made in China, right?
01:19:36.000Or, I mean, they don't want to lose that.
01:19:39.000There's really honestly been no punishment or any accountability for China whatsoever since they unleashed a bioweapon on the world.
01:19:46.000So 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.
01:19:55.000Speaking of economic warfare, we saw how the global economy was halted and negatively impacted as a result of...
01:20:11.000I mean, this is not just a way to curb the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration from China into our country.
01:20:17.000And 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.
01:20:28.000Highest 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.
01:20:39.000I saw it firsthand when I went down to the Darien Gap, and I was in the jungle of Panama, and I literally saw Chinese.
01:20:50.000Chinese huts where you had Chinese individuals in Panama schlepping goods into the jungle so they could have their little own Chinese black markets.
01:20:59.000Using TikTok and using WeChat and using all of their different apps while connecting to Starlink, believe it or not.
01:21:23.000As 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%?
01:21:32.000I think it should be much higher, personally.
01:21:34.000I was criticizing the fact that it's not higher than 10%.
01:21:42.000I 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?
01:21:54.000I mean, they don't have any political freedom there.
01:22:50.000And so, you know, we talked about this a lot.
01:22:52.000And 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.
01:23:27.000And 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?
01:23:42.000What is the logical next step for somebody watching right now who doesn't own any gold or silver, who is listening to this?
01:23:47.000Looking at this and wondering, what does this mean for my money if I have all of my investments sitting in the bank?
01:23:55.000What 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?
01:24:06.000What 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?
01:24:15.000Well, I would allocate into silver at this point.
01:24:19.000You could do gold, but silver is going to do better.
01:24:21.000There's just a report that came out last week that the backlog of silver at the refineries is now three months.
01:24:28.000Literally, they're three months backlogged.
01:24:30.000So the difference between gold and silver is not just the price.
01:24:34.000Gold is a barometer against political distrust, right?
01:24:38.000The worse that it gets, the more people go into gold as a flight for safety.
01:24:41.000And this is why central banks around the world Want to back up their currency with it.
01:25:17.000So, 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?
01:25:28.000So I think that silver is going to outpace it.
01:25:31.000So 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?
01:25:42.000Well, I think that's their shot across the bow against Trump and his policies.
01:25:46.000But those exact same things are causing gold and silver to go up.
01:25:51.000So all of us investors, we wanna be wise stewards with what God's given us.
01:26:04.000It'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.
01:26:22.000Right now, at this particular time in history, I would allocate into silver.
01:26:27.000Now, I'm not talking about paper, not talking about ETFs or mining shares or mutual funds.
01:26:33.000Talking 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.
01:26:46.000When 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.
01:27:38.000You don't have to be a bank to participate.
01:27:40.000You can buy gold one ounce at a time, right?
01:27:44.000You can buy silver in like $500 increments.
01:27:47.000You don't have to have a huge, huge, you know, wallet or pocketbook to get started because we will Help everybody who calls.
01:27:56.000Granted, there is logistics of doing business, right?
01:27:59.000It's $500 on silver would be a minimum, like roughly $3,000 on gold because it's one ounce is a few thousand dollars.
01:28:07.000But 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?
01:28:17.000I mean, we are entering into a paradigm-shifting moment in our economy with Trump.
01:28:23.000And this is the best way that I know how to take advantage of it.
01:28:28.000You know, crypto, I think, is doing good as well.
01:28:43.000Do whatever gives you the most peace of mind.
01:28:45.000And this is why most of my clients love.
01:28:49.000Tangible assets like precious metals because it does give that peace of mind when they put their head down on the pillow at night.
01:28:55.000Yeah, and in the beginning of this interview, you were talking about how it's mostly imported from overseas.
01:29:01.000And 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.
01:29:20.000And 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.
01:29:36.000And 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.
01:29:46.000And what's going to happen if you, the consumer, you, the taxpayer, you, the individual, can own silver while it's in such...
01:29:56.000And 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?
01:30:11.000Well, that's not really going to impact the spot price of gold or silver.
01:30:15.000It's going to impact the price of buying and selling.
01:30:18.000The spot price is the price of the metal as it comes out of the ground.
01:31:19.000We 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?
01:31:44.000The worse the world gets, the better gold and silver generally perform.
01:31:48.000Just a general rule of thumb, because they act as a flight for safety.
01:31:53.000And 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.
01:33:16.000Kirk Elliott Precious Metals operates from Denver, Colorado and serves clients across all 50 states.
01:33:21.000You can put your email in, your name, your last name, your phone number.
01:33:26.000Your contact information there and they will get back to you.
01:33:29.000What is the best way for people to reach you?
01:33:31.000Would you say that it's better to call or would it be better for people to use the online form?
01:33:37.000Because I imagine now with all of these recent developments, you probably are going to be inundated.
01:33:43.000And so what is the service time for people who are wondering how soon can they call you tomorrow?
01:33:47.000Are you guys open on Sundays or do you have a 24-7 hotline?
01:33:52.000because 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.
01:34:13.000So 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.
01:35:42.000Because then moving forward, we'll guide you every step along the way.
01:35:45.000Let you know when it's time to buy, sell, reallocate, get out of Dodge, do whatever needs to be done.
01:35:50.000This 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.
01:36:03.000And 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.
01:36:26.000If 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.
01:36:34.000But I also think that it says a lot that you're willing to...
01:36:42.000Kirk 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.
01:36:59.000Personally, 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.
01:37:16.000And clearly, as Dr. Kirk voiced tonight, he's a supporter of all those things.
01:37:24.000As 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...
01:37:36.000Again, are very transparent and very open.
01:37:38.000As 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.
01:37:44.000So let's go over to the chat right now.
01:37:46.000We'll take two or three questions from the live viewers right now.
01:37:49.000If you're watching on X or Rumble, please be sure that you repost this live link now.
01:37:54.000We're going to take two or three questions.
01:37:58.000J. Andrew D. says, what is the minimum investment with this company?
01:38:31.000If 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.
01:40:39.000A 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.
01:40:44.000And you're starting with $500 for silver or the price of one ounce of gold.
01:40:50.000And 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.
01:41:00.000So any comments on that in comparison to your competitors?
01:41:04.000Because 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.
01:41:43.000You 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.
01:41:50.000You know, the technicals and fundamentals behind gold and silver are really strong, so I wouldn't let the dust settle.
01:42:03.000And 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.
01:42:16.000Let them know that Laura Loomer sent you.
01:42:18.000Dr. Kirk, thank you so much for spending an hour of your Saturday evening with us.
01:42:26.000Thank you so much for your sponsorship of Loomer Unleashed because...
01:42:30.000Not 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.
01:42:49.000And so it's really important that we support companies that are supporting our values here in America.
01:42:54.000And free speech, of course, is the most important value that we have here in America.
01:42:59.000So I just want to thank you so much for your sponsorship of my show and also for your time tonight.
01:43:26.000We 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
01:43:56.000American 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.
01:44:07.000And some people were wondering, oh, is it a transgender person?
01:44:17.000Questions, and obviously, I mean, this is a very tragic...
01:44:20.000Incident that took place and even President Trump himself said in his true social post that it's quite unusual.
01:44:26.000A 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.
01:44:37.000And now today there was a New York Post article that came out.
01:44:41.000We can actually get this article pulled up so that people can see what I'm talking about.
01:44:45.000But 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.
01:45:11.000Army helicopter was warned about American Airlines plane twice with final alert coming just seconds before the D.C. crash.
01:45:20.000Says 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.
01:45:32.000Aviation 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.
01:45:44.000Both times the request was approved by air traffic control.
01:45:48.000About 12 seconds after the second air traffic control tower alert, the helicopter and passenger plane collided.
01:46:06.000This is my tweet from earlier today if you were following along.
01:46:10.000Rebecca Lobach has been announced as the female pilot of the helicopter.
01:46:14.000And 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.
01:46:32.000After, what, four days now since the incident that took place?
01:47:14.000Obviously, 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.
01:47:35.000And so you do some math on this just days after that, right?
01:47:45.000We have a copy of this executive order.
01:47:50.000But you look at the time frame of all these different crashes.
01:47:53.000So you have the 22nd, which was a Wednesday.
01:47:56.000And then you have the 29th, which is also a Wednesday.
01:48:01.000So 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.
01:48:15.000And look, I'm not accusing her of anything.
01:48:17.000I'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.
01:48:24.000And I think a lot of people are wondering, was this intentional or was it an accident?
01:48:28.000Because even President Trump said in his own true social post that it's very suspicious that this happened.
01:48:36.000It'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.
01:48:45.000First 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...
01:48:53.000Yesterday, 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.
01:49:16.000And 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.
01:49:33.000But I'm going to show some details here.
01:49:35.000And 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...
01:49:45.000In 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.
01:49:55.000He had no experience dealing with transportation at all.
01:50:00.000He was just hired because, well, he was a gay man, and they wanted to say that they had the first gay Transportation Secretary.
01:50:07.000A lot of people in the Biden administration...
01:50:10.000We're nominated for their sexuality or their sexual preferences or their gender.
01:50:16.000I mean, this is by their own admission.
01:50:18.000That's why they said Kamala Harris was, at first, the first Indian VP. Then they wanted to pretend like she was black, right?
01:50:26.000Then they wanted to say, oh, the first woman.
01:50:28.000So 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.
01:50:38.000I 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.
01:50:44.000It was because he was an openly gay man, right?
01:50:50.000I am the first openly gay transportation secretary.
01:50:56.000As 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.
01:51:23.000So here's a photo of her in a helicopter.
01:51:25.000There'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.
01:51:37.000So you see here she's hanging out with some individuals who appear to be gay, maybe even transgender.
01:51:53.000But 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.
01:52:05.000And they also released this statement.
01:52:14.000She was a daughter, a sister, partner, and a friend.
01:52:19.000So 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?
01:52:31.000They said she wanted to go to medical school after this.
01:52:34.000You use the term partner oftentimes when you want to say that somebody is gay without saying that they're gay.
01:52:40.000So a lot of times, you know, I've been around gay people.
01:52:44.000Look, I have gay family members as well, right?
01:52:46.000And oftentimes you have to know your setting.
01:52:48.000And 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...
01:52:55.000Family members who are gay walking in there and being like, oh, here's my boyfriend or here's my girlfriend, right?
01:53:01.000Generally, if they ask you, oh, you know, are you guys sisters?
01:53:52.000Again, I don't have anything against gay individuals serving in government or being in agencies in our government.
01:53:59.000We just had Rick Grinnell, who is a gay man, who just successfully brought home hostages serving as a...
01:54:08.000You 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.
01:54:27.000So I have no problem with gay people being in positions of government.
01:54:34.000But 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.
01:54:45.000Some of the biggest benefactors of affirmative action have been women themselves.
01:54:49.000And now we saw during the Biden administration there was an overemphasis to push a bunch of gay and transgender individuals into our military.
01:55:01.000Take it for what you will, but I think it's really interesting that nobody wants to talk about the fact.
01:55:06.000I haven't seen any of the media pick up on the fact that they mentioned, oh, she was a partner.
01:55:11.000They're basically hinting at the fact that she's a lesbian.
01:55:14.000Now, maybe it was just a poor choice of words.
01:55:39.000You know, maybe more information is going to come out.
01:55:41.000But 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?
01:55:53.000Sean Duffy today at the Department of Transportation, they made an announcement.
01:55:58.000We can get this pulled up on the screen for those of you to see.
01:56:00.000And 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.
01:56:11.000But let's go ahead and get this statement up.
01:56:26.000This is at the new SecDuffy Twitter account, at SecDuffy.
01:56:32.000Effective 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.
01:56:43.000These distractions do nothing to keep planes in the air, trains on the tracks, or ports and highways secure.
01:56:48.000In the wake of two devastating plane crashes, my focus is singular, enforcing the highest standards of safety and accountability.
01:56:55.000From now on every day of every month, we celebrate transportation, beautiful infrastructure, and safety.
01:57:25.000I mean, there's a month for everything.
01:57:28.000Except white people, of course, right?
01:57:30.000But 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.
01:57:55.000But 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.
01:58:04.000Again, I will say that he's doubling down on this and mentioning that it's a distraction.
01:58:15.000And it's doing nothing to keep planes in the air.
01:58:18.000So 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?
01:58:28.000We don't know what the cause of the crash is yet for this Mexican air ambulance that crashed yesterday in Philadelphia.
01:58:36.000A very tragic situation in which a pediatric patient was gifted an angel flight as a member of, well, a patient of Shriners Hospital.
01:58:44.000This, I guess, poor Mexican girl and her mother couldn't afford medical treatment.
01:58:51.000Treatment 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.
01:59:05.000Air 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.
01:59:14.000But 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.
01:59:32.000Six 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.
01:59:51.000That seems to be some kind of a tragedy with an air ambulance, but again...
01:59:57.000With 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?
02:00:15.000Why 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?
02:00:25.000I think they understand the implications of the fact that she was an aide to the Biden administration.
02:00:32.000And again, I'm not saying that it's a negative if somebody is a homosexual, but I am saying that the Biden administration oftentimes...
02:00:41.000Prioritize 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.
02:00:55.000We 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.
02:01:09.000I 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.
02:01:24.000I think it was an Easter event, if I'm not mistaken.
02:01:26.000But that's the type of events that were taking place in the Biden administration.
02:01:31.000And so it speaks volumes to me that this woman...
02:01:36.000Rebecca Lobach was a social aide for the Biden administration.
02:02:05.000They had to actually ban the activists from going to the White House because they took their top off and they were, like, jumping up.
02:02:11.000You know, I'm flat-chested, so, you know, my boobs aren't going to jiggle.
02:02:15.000But, you know, just imagine a transgender individual with very large fake breasts jumping up and down with their nipples out, right?
02:02:24.000Their nipples just out in the open on the White House lawn.
02:02:27.000So you can find here, after topless incident at the White House, let's just click on that Forbes article.
02:02:33.000After a topless incident at the White House, sparks uproar, administration denounces trans influencers.
02:02:39.000So 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.
02:02:53.000So, again, when I hear that this individual who, maybe she's a lesbian, maybe she's not, I don't know.
02:04:34.000I 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.
02:04:47.000And I don't really see how it has any place in sectors like aviation or transportation or our U.S. military.
02:04:55.000So perhaps we need to re-implement the don't say gay policy.
02:05:01.000Because, I mean, we shouldn't be talking about whether or not somebody's gay.
02:05:06.000I mean, you have a job and that's to protect the United States of America.
02:05:11.000If 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.
02:05:21.000I want to see how many of you agree with that.
02:06:06.000I'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.
02:06:17.000How 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?
02:06:29.000It doesn't really sound qualified to me.
02:06:31.000Maybe we have different Understandings of what the word qualified is.
02:06:45.000That's why DEI equals D-I-E because it kills people.
02:06:49.000And 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.
02:06:58.000I'm sure they already know what happened.
02:07:00.000They're probably just not able to tell us, okay?
02:07:02.000So President Trump is going to lead his own press conference the other day talking about DEI and plane crashes.
02:07:08.000There probably is a good reason why he did so.
02:07:44.000But 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.
02:07:51.000Like, what does that even mean to be a partner unless you're saying that they're gay?
02:07:54.000And you don't want to say they're gay.
02:07:56.000Let's scroll all the way down to the bottom.
02:07:57.000If you have any more questions, feel free to put your questions in the chat.
02:08:02.000We 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
02:08:22.000yo that shit just blew up Yo, look at that shit, yo.
02:12:02.000But as I get those answers, I'm going to share that with all of you.
02:12:06.000I 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.
02:12:18.000Back in DC, yesterday we restricted the airspace around DCA from helicopter travel.
02:12:23.000Making sure people feel safe as they come in and out of our capital city.
02:12:27.000In the coming days we're gonna have more announcements.
02:12:30.000I want Americans to feel confident in American air travel.
02:12:37.000Personally, 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.
02:12:55.000So I think that President Trump had an excellent...
02:13:01.000A better response than we would probably see from Pete Buttigieg.
02:13:04.000I mean, just look at his response in the aftermath of the bridge collapse that we saw in Baltimore, right?
02:13:10.000Just look at his response to the tragedy in East Palestine.
02:13:14.000He failed to rise to the occasion on multiple occasions, and I think that we're in a much better position today, and I feel...
02:13:23.000Confident that President Trump's picks and his nominees are going to do a great job in providing us answers and transparency.
02:13:30.000When 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.
02:13:38.000press conferences to give you answers?
02:13:40.000It just seems like a fire hose being shoved down our throats every...
02:13:46.000And 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.
02:13:57.000And 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.
02:14:08.000I 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.
02:14:15.000They're countering fake news updates from from the media and delivering real time facts.
02:14:20.000They're streaming the White House press conferences.
02:14:23.000I mean, I don't remember the last time the Biden administration ever streamed any of their press conferences.
02:14:29.000But I do know I'm a pretty online individual, right?
02:14:31.000I'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.
02:14:45.000And I really don't remember seeing this level of transparency or attentiveness from the Biden regime.
02:14:50.000So I'm quite impressed because they're, what, on day 13 now?
02:14:54.000Day 13 of the Trump administration and...
02:14:56.000Every 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.
02:15:17.000And they're also shedding a light into a lot of the lies from the previous administration.
02:15:22.000Now we know what happened with the drones, right?
02:15:24.000And a lot of people are now able to see that Biden has been lying about a lot of things.
02:15:29.000And we're going to get into this in the next segment.
02:15:32.000But also, hello, how many Americans were even aware that we had hostages, American hostages in Venezuela?
02:15:37.000I had people texting me saying, we had hostages in Venezuela?
02:15:42.000So 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.
02:15:51.000We had Dr. Kirk Elliott on the show tonight, so please be sure that you visit his website.
02:15:55.000Do not let the green agenda tick you off and put you into a tailspin when you can take advantage of it.
02:16:01.000As we spoke about tonight, there is one commodity that is needed for solar power.
02:16:05.000Battery power for electric vehicles, nuclear power, and it is a vital component in missiles, torpedoes, and aerospace.
02:16:12.000Silver is needed for all of that, and recent developments are creating an insurmountable problem for all of these industries.
02:16:19.000Physical 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.
02:16:29.000Eloquently and very openly explained to you tonight in an hour-long interview here on Loomer Unleashed.
02:16:35.000What if you were the person that owned what they are going to need?
02:16:40.000You can call Kirk Elliott Precious Metals today to purchase physical silver.
02:16:44.000I've decided to partner with Dr. Kirk Elliott and...
02:16:47.000Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, because Dr. Kirk cares about you, his staff are trustworthy, honest, and they educate you, just like they did tonight, here live on Loomer Unleashed for an hour before you make a purchase to make sure that it's the right decision for you.
02:17:02.000As he explained, he only deals with low-cost bullion that doesn't carry high premiums, and what I love is that physical metals can even be placed into your IRA. So call Dr. Kirk Elliott today at 720. 605-3900.
02:17:46.000So 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.
02:18:08.000That Joe Biden created over the last four years with Kamala Harris.
02:18:11.000So 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.
02:18:37.000He'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.
02:19:08.000So we had no idea that they were going on a hostage rescue mission.
02:19:12.000We heard on Friday, yesterday, during the White House press briefing.
02:19:16.000That 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.
02:19:34.000Kristi 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.
02:19:51.000And a lot of the criminal illegals in our country are from Venezuela.
02:19:55.000I spoke about this extensively, not just yesterday, but also...
02:20:00.000On 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.
02:20:16.000So 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.
02:20:27.000We 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.
02:20:36.000And we also have video of Rick Grinnell meeting with the hostages in Venezuela.
02:20:40.000Let's go ahead and play clip number 17. I had Donald Trump all over my prison cell.
02:20:59.000So we really owe a lot of gratitude and appreciation to Rick Rennell, who is the special missions envoy for the Trump administration.
02:21:23.000And 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.
02:21:34.000But he does a fantastic job, and we wish him the best.
02:21:37.000And really, thank you so much to Rick Rennell for helping to bring home hostages that so many Americans were unaware of.
02:21:45.000So many people were texting me yesterday saying, I had no idea that we had hostages in Venezuela.
02:21:52.000We 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.
02:22:00.000We also have news of new American citizen hostages who are being held by Hamas in Gaza who were also released yesterday.
02:22:06.000So it was a great day for America because we're really restoring respect throughout the world.
02:22:13.000It goes to show you how weak Joe Biden is.
02:22:18.000Ryan 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.
02:23:04.000They just sent Rick Grinnell over to Venezuela to meet with Maduro and, what, Joe Biden couldn't do this?
02:23:09.000Joe Biden couldn't demand the release of the hostages?
02:23:11.000So, 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.
02:23:22.000It shows you how weak the administration was.
02:23:25.000It's forcing even Democrats and leftists to admit it.
02:23:51.000Today, 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.
02:24:18.000Some other news in case you missed it.
02:24:21.000Obviously, we began January 1 of this year with an ISIS terrorist attack in New Orleans.
02:24:27.000We had an ISIS terrorist who decided to Ram his vehicle into New Year's Eve celebrations on Bourbon Street, killing multiple people.
02:24:37.000Then we had another terrorist attack where an individual, they say, blew up a cyber truck in front of Trump Tower, same day.
02:24:46.000And 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.
02:25:02.000And 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.
02:25:12.000So there's the difference in leadership.
02:25:14.000Under 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...
02:25:26.000We have airstrikes on ISIS terrorists in Somalia.
02:25:29.000Another promise made, another promise kept.
02:25:32.000He 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.
02:25:50.000ISIS, a global rise in Islamic terrorism, and now President Trump is crushing it.
02:26:16.000Why couldn't Biden bring how many hostages?
02:26:18.000There's so much unnecessary suffering that has happened due to bad leadership at the hands of Joe Biden.
02:26:27.000Here we have President Trump's True Social, in case you missed it, his True Social post about the airstrikes.
02:26:34.000This morning, I ordered precision military airstrikes on the senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia.
02:26:40.000These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our allies.
02:26:44.000The strikes destroyed the caves they live in and killed many terrorists without in any way harming civilians.
02:26:50.000Our 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.
02:26:57.000And then we had an ISIS terrorist attack on U.S. soil on January 1, 2025. Imagine that.
02:27:03.000Biden and his cronies wouldn't act quickly enough to get the job done.
02:29:20.000You 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.
02:29:30.000Let's go ahead and play clip number five.
02:29:36.000There 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.
02:30:25.000After a devastating loss, they elect a Minnesota Democrat Party official, Ken Martin, to be the new DNC chair.
02:30:34.000Minnesota, okay, is the number one ISIS recruitment location in the entire United States of America.
02:30:40.000Then it's Michigan, according to FBI statistics.
02:30:44.000Ilhan Omar herself has advocated for the release of individuals in her own home district.
02:30:49.000You can look it up and see for yourself.
02:30:51.000I'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.
02:31:29.000So 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.
02:31:38.000So 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.
02:31:50.000How are the Democrats going to have an individual as their chair who is openly embracing and promoting a jihadist who is serving in Congress?
02:31:58.000Ilhan Omar is a Jew-hating, pro-Islamic terror jihadist.
02:32:35.000Including 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.
02:32:46.000Who on election night became, there's a typo there, the first elected Somali-American lawmaker in the nation.
02:32:53.000As if that's something to be happy about.
02:33:05.000We really want to have a Somali lawmaker here in America.
02:33:09.000Yeah, 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.
02:33:28.000Rep 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.
02:33:41.000As if she wants to actually curb enthusiasm, she's advocating for members of ISIS who wanted to murder American citizens.
02:33:48.000Her 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.
02:34:07.000Dodd 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.
02:34:21.000Federal prosecutors requested 30 years in prison for him with a lifetime of supervised release.
02:34:27.000The 13 letters sent to Judge Davis on behalf of Dodd included similar pleas for leniency from Minnesota City Council member Abdi Wasser.
02:34:56.000A 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.
02:35:09.000You've never seen Ken Martin speak out about the fact that his state of Minnesota has been totally overrun by Islamic jihadists.
02:35:58.000Congratulations to Ken Martin for your decisive victory.
02:36:01.000So Ilhan Omar's standing right behind him on stage.
02:36:04.000Why would you want Ilhan Omar to be on stage with you for anything?
02:36:09.000I 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?
02:36:18.000Yeah, I want to be endorsed by the woman who said 9-11 happened because some people did something.
02:36:24.000Scroll up and you can see what I tweeted earlier.
02:36:28.000The new DNC chair is friends with Ilhan Omar.
02:36:30.000The Democrat Party won't be winning elections by normalizing jihadists in Congress.
02:36:57.000Minnesota DFL, which is the Democratic Farmer Labor Party, for the last 14 years.
02:37:01.000Two, 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.
02:37:11.000Three, we need to expand this model nationwide.
02:37:14.000We 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.
02:37:22.000There are millions of Americans who are relying on us right now to meet.
02:37:26.000This moment and I'm excited to be in this fight with you.
02:37:29.000Hey guys, we just watched Kamala Harris and Tim Walls get their ass kicked by J.D. Vance and President Trump.
02:37:38.000Let's have the guy who led the Democrat Party in Minnesota become the chair of the Democrat Party nationally.
02:37:45.000Because yeah, we've really seen how politicians from Minnesota have garnered so much respect nationally, whether it be Ilhan Omar or Tim Walls.
02:37:54.000Yeah, we're really going to be able to win elections when Americans are sick and tired of woke bullshit.
02:38:00.000How 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?
02:38:09.000The Democrats just have no sense of reality.
02:38:16.000And 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.
02:38:25.000So 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.
02:38:38.000How 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.
02:38:49.000As President Trump said, there was a mandate to implement his policies.
02:38:52.000And we saw people from all sides of the political spectrum, including Democrats, cross over.
02:38:57.000You saw people like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
02:39:00.000Who have historically been Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard, the former vice chair of the DNC, denouncing the Democrat Party, coming out and endorsing President Trump.
02:39:08.000So they're never going to learn, clearly.
02:39:12.000And I just think it's really funny that now they're not even happy.
02:39:16.000This 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.
02:40:29.000I want to know what you guys think about this.
02:40:31.000We'll take a couple questions and a couple comments before we close out tonight, but Tuesday is when we will resume programming here on Loomer Unleashed, so be sure that you download the Rumble app.

02:43:11.000They'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.
02:43:28.000Yeah, he's a white male, but he clearly supports all the DEI initiatives and he's a radical, right?
