In this episode, Laura Loomer talks about her experience with tech censorship and why she decided to run for Congress in the mid-2020 election. She also discusses why the Republican Party is so afraid to speak out against it.
00:00:00.000Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome investigative journalist Laura Loomer.
00:00:09.000Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome investigative journalist Laura Loomer.
00:00:26.000Now, if you don't know Laura Loomer, I'll just tell you, you know, it's so interesting, Laura, because you've been in some kind of fight, right?
00:00:42.000You could almost be called one of the first fighters, because you know what I remember, and I was kind of, I mean, I wasn't new, but relatively new to covering politics, is the day you stood up in that hearing, and you yelled about censorship.
00:00:56.000And you weren't attacked as much as you are right now, but they were like, oh, you know.
00:01:00.000But I remember that, because I knew that was going on.
00:01:04.000And then it started happening to me greater and greater and greater.
00:01:07.000And I've never forgotten that you did that.
00:01:12.000I want to thank Mike Lindell for inviting me to speak to all of you.
00:01:16.000And, yeah, I've had a career in investigative journalism and in activism.
00:01:20.000Got my career started working with James O'Keefe at Project Veritas.
00:01:24.000And then after that, yeah, he does great work, of course.
00:01:28.000You know, you mentioned the censorship.
00:01:31.000Prior to getting my account back on Twitter in December of 2022, I've been banned for five years.
00:01:37.000And there was a point where I was the most banned woman in the entire world.
00:01:41.000And I still am banned on every single social media site, with the exception of Twitter, to this date, simply because I was Warning people really as a canary in the coal mine and I remember that day in 2018 September 5th when we had the first congressional hearing on tech censorship and Jack Dorsey of course was testifying in front of Congress and he had said that they were not using algorithms to censor conservatives and I stood up and I called him a liar and I was escorted out by the cops and
00:02:11.000You know, I have to say, that was a committee controlled by Republicans, okay?
00:02:16.000So when we look at the problems in our country today, we want to know how we got here, okay?
00:02:21.000Well, during President Trump's first administration, for the first two years, we had a Republican-controlled House, we had a Republican-controlled Senate.
00:04:06.000Even though President Trump endorsed me and even voted for me in 2020, and I've won my primary despite all odds, The GOP didn't issue a single statement about the censorship of conservatives.
00:04:18.000And so, if we are going to, you know, reclaim our election integrity, if we are going to combat the cancer of voter fraud and get the greatest presidents ever, President Donald J. Trump, back in the White House and re-elected for a third time, then we have to start calling out the Republicans who are doing nothing to speak out about this voter fraud.
00:04:48.000Since this stale election of 2020, has the GOP done anything?
00:04:52.000Have they filed any lawsuits in support of President Trump?
00:04:55.000There's been lots of strongly wording emails and leads.
00:04:58.000Have they filed a lawsuit against any of the big tech social media companies?
00:05:02.000What are they doing aside from tweeting their statements about President Trump's recent indictments?
00:05:08.000What are the Republicans in Washington doing?
00:05:24.000We don't actually have two parties in this country like they tell us, okay?
00:05:28.000It's the uniparty versus the patriots of this country.
00:05:31.000It's us against them, and it's one big club, and we're just not a part of it.
00:05:35.000And the reality is, is the Republicans, and no one wants to talk about this elephant in the room, the Republicans were just as much as involved in stealing the election from Donald Trump as a Democrat.
00:05:58.000And now they're using, okay, they're trying to criminalize speaking out against stolen elections.
00:06:04.000They're trying to criminalize patriots showing up and asking questions about our elections.
00:06:09.000They're trying to criminalize political speech and what was once, right, I guess it doesn't really exist anymore, our constitutional right to petition our government for grievances.
00:06:21.000That is what patriots were doing on January 6th.
00:06:24.000And so, we are losing our country, and I honestly, I do blame the Republican Party more than the Democrats, and I say that as a lifelong conservative activist because, you know, at the end of the day, we know what the Democrats' game plan is, right?
00:06:38.000But we would not be in this mess today if we had strong leadership, How many of them actually spoke out about all of the fraud?
00:07:02.000So I have to ask you more because, like you said, you're the canary in the coal mine.
00:07:06.000I know you weren't surprised by what happened because you've seen it coming for years and years and years.
00:07:11.000Do you feel, though, now that you're not such a long ranger, that more people are involved and they're aware, like, I mean, look how people responded when you said that about Republicans.
00:07:21.000I think prior to the 28, you know, the 2018 midterms, I don't think people would have felt that way or you would have gotten quite that response.
00:07:29.000Well, people are awake now, and, you know, the thing is, they like to call themselves the silent majority, but we're not silent by choice.
00:07:37.000We have been silenced, and we have to reclaim our voice.
00:07:40.000And we're not going to reclaim our voice by sitting back and playing nice in the sandbox with Republicans.
00:07:46.000I think that one of the most detrimental things to the Republican Party is Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment about not speaking ill of any other Republican.
00:07:54.000It's time to put Reagan's 11th commandment in the shredder on high speed.
00:08:03.000And if you feel bad because they used the term Republican, just remember, they're really not anyway, the majority of them.
00:08:10.000It really is a uniparty, and if you sit any time in Washington, you see it in five seconds.
00:08:16.000The GOP base, okay, is with Donald J. Trump.
00:08:19.000There's MAGA, and then there's the uniparty, okay?
00:08:22.000There's MAGA, and there's the uniparty, and I would say that most Republican voters today, they feel as though they have been completely abandoned by the party.
00:08:32.000The party isn't actually representative of the pro-Trump MAGA base.
00:08:36.000They don't even believe the election was stolen!
00:08:39.000To this day, the RNC has not issued a statement admitting that the 2020 election was stolen.
00:08:46.000So how are these people supposed to represent us and why do they expect people to show up to the polls in 2024 unless they're actually going to prove to us that they're committed To implementing policies and practices to combat another steal.
00:09:01.000How much do you think it trickles down to the local level, though?
00:09:05.000I mean, we know this as the national Republicans, but how much on the local level?
00:09:11.000Well, it's happening on a local level.
00:09:15.000There are people from all over the country here today who I've spoken to who have said that, as Republicans, their issue wasn't combating Democrats or the Democrat Party or Democrat elected officials in their state.
00:09:29.000Republican establishment officials who utilize the voter fraud machine to silence voters and steal elections.
00:09:41.000And that's why it's important for people to get involved on the local level.
00:09:46.000Before we run out of time, Laura, I do have to break up because you're getting a lot of attention from Donald Trump himself, and he invited you to dinner the other day.
00:09:56.000So why don't you just give the people in our room what that was like.
00:10:00.000Yeah, so actually what happened was I was in New York where I was giving a speech to the New York Young Republicans and I wasn't aware that Donald Trump was going to be at Bedminster for the rest of the Live Golf Tournament because I thought he was going to be in Iowa all weekend and when I found out he was going to be At Bedminster,
00:10:18.000I had extended my flight, and I went over there just with a regular general admission ticket, and Trump recognized me on the golf course, and he came over and thanked me for all of my investigative reports exposing Ron DeSink-Demonious, who does not believe that the election was calling another enemy to the election integrity movement.
00:10:38.000And so, to my surprise, and I'm elated, I just can't believe it actually happened, President Trump invited me to spend a day with him in his private suite at Bedminster, and I was able to watch the golf tournament with him, and he was just so gracious and so kind, and he's such a wonderful person,
00:10:55.000which is why I take it so personally when he's attacked in the media, because This is a man who gave him a life of luxury to fight for all of us, okay?
00:11:03.000He could potentially face the rest of his life in prison because he decided to fight for election integrity and speak out against the unit party and stole the elections.
00:11:13.000And we have an obligation to raise our voices and exemplify courage instead of hiding in silence and cowardice like every member of the Republican Party in Congress today.
00:11:26.000And we need to fight the president's office.
00:11:40.000You know, exchanged comments online, but you're very brave as well.
00:11:44.000You walked away from, I guess, I mean, you don't have to tell the story yourself, but you refused to take the vaccine and you were punished for it by corporate media.
00:11:53.000And so you spoke out at a network that has a policy of not speaking out about themselves and stolen elections.
