00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome investigative journalist Laura Loomer.
00:00:09.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome investigative journalist Laura Loomer.
00:00:26.000 Now, 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?
00:00:40.000 That's an understatement.
00:00:42.000 You 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.
00:00:56.000 And you weren't attacked as much as you are right now, but they were like, oh, you know.
00:01:00.000 But I remember that, because I knew that was going on.
00:01:04.000 And then it started happening to me greater and greater and greater.
00:01:07.000 And I've never forgotten that you did that.
00:01:10.000 Well, thank you.
00:01:10.000 And it's great to be here today.
00:01:12.000 I want to thank Mike Lindell for inviting me to speak to all of you.
00:01:16.000 And, yeah, I've had a career in investigative journalism and in activism.
00:01:20.000 Got my career started working with James O'Keefe at Project Veritas.
00:01:24.000 And then after that, yeah, he does great work, of course.
00:01:28.000 You know, you mentioned the censorship.
00:01:31.000 Prior to getting my account back on Twitter in December of 2022, I've been banned for five years.
00:01:37.000 And there was a point where I was the most banned woman in the entire world.
00:01:41.000 And 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
00:02:11.000 You know, I have to say, that was a committee controlled by Republicans, okay?
00:02:16.000 So when we look at the problems in our country today, we want to know how we got here, okay?
00:02:21.000 Well, during President Trump's first administration, for the first two years, we had a Republican-controlled House, we had a Republican-controlled Senate.
00:02:28.000 So there's your answer, right?
00:02:30.000 It's Republican cowardice that has resulted in the silencing and defendantship of patriots like you.
00:02:44.000 You have to call it out.
00:02:46.000 And not only have you called it out, you actually got in the race.
00:02:50.000 You ran for the 11th district in Florida for a seat in Congress.
00:02:56.000 I ran twice, actually.
00:02:58.000 And so when I was deplatformed everywhere and I was shut down, I mean, I was shut down from my bank, right?
00:03:04.000 So I was one of the first people who this really happened to.
00:03:07.000 And now, of course, it's gone mainstream, so everybody understands this whole...
00:03:11.000 Cancel culture issue.
00:03:12.000 And I decided, wow, you know, this is going to eventually happen to Donald Trump.
00:03:17.000 They're going to ban the presidents of the United States. 0.68
00:03:19.000 And people said that I was crazy and that I was a conspiracy theorist.
00:03:23.000 And so I said, I'm going to run for Congress to address it.
00:03:26.000 Running first in 2019, 2020.
00:03:28.000 And then, of course, 2022.
00:03:30.000 And my campaign was actually the first deplatformed campaign in United States history.
00:03:36.000 We were the only campaign denied the ability to create social media accounts.
00:03:40.000 And you can imagine how hard that was in the middle of COVID when Governor Ron DeSantis locked down the state of Florida.
00:03:48.000 I know he likes to say he did otherwise, right?
00:03:50.000 But we were locked down in Florida, not able to knock on doors And so that's a problem.
00:03:57.000 And then it got so bad that even Comcast, an internet service provider, blocked my campaign from sending texts and emails.
00:04:04.000 So that's election interference, right?
00:04:06.000 Even 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.
00:04:18.000 And 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.
00:04:48.000 Since this stale election of 2020, has the GOP done anything?
00:04:52.000 Have they filed any lawsuits in support of President Trump?
00:04:55.000 There's been lots of strongly wording emails and leads.
00:04:58.000 Have they filed a lawsuit against any of the big tech social media companies?
00:05:02.000 What are they doing aside from tweeting their statements about President Trump's recent indictments?
00:05:08.000 What are the Republicans in Washington doing?
00:05:11.000 The answer is nothing.
00:05:14.000 And I know why I think that is.
00:05:18.000 But why do you think that is, Laura?
00:05:21.000 Because it's a uniparty, right?
00:05:22.000 It's an illusion of choice.
00:05:24.000 We don't actually have two parties in this country like they tell us, okay?
00:05:28.000 It's the uniparty versus the patriots of this country.
00:05:31.000 It's us against them, and it's one big club, and we're just not a part of it.
00:05:35.000 And 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.
00:05:46.000 They were.
00:05:50.000 I'm supposed to find there's no way that Democrats could have done it alone, without the help of the Republicans.
00:05:57.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:05:58.000 And now they're using, okay, they're trying to criminalize speaking out against stolen elections.
00:06:04.000 They're trying to criminalize patriots showing up and asking questions about our elections.
00:06:09.000 They'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.
00:06:18.000 Okay, hello?
00:06:19.000 January 6th, anybody?
00:06:21.000 That is what patriots were doing on January 6th.
00:06:24.000 And 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?
00:06:38.000 But 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?
00:06:52.000 Where are they today?
00:07:00.000 Maybe too.
00:07:02.000 So I have to ask you more because, like you said, you're the canary in the coal mine.
00:07:06.000 I know you weren't surprised by what happened because you've seen it coming for years and years and years.
00:07:11.000 Do 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.
00:07:21.000 I 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.
00:07:29.000 Well, 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.
00:07:37.000 We have been silenced, and we have to reclaim our voice.
00:07:40.000 And we're not going to reclaim our voice by sitting back and playing nice in the sandbox with Republicans.
00:07:46.000 I 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.
00:07:54.000 It's time to put Reagan's 11th commandment in the shredder on high speed.
00:08:02.000 Absolutely.
00:08:03.000 And if you feel bad because they used the term Republican, just remember, they're really not anyway, the majority of them.
00:08:10.000 It really is a uniparty, and if you sit any time in Washington, you see it in five seconds.
00:08:16.000 The GOP base, okay, is with Donald J. Trump.
00:08:19.000 There's MAGA, and then there's the uniparty, okay?
00:08:22.000 There'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.
00:08:32.000 The party isn't actually representative of the pro-Trump MAGA base.
00:08:36.000 They don't even believe the election was stolen!
00:08:39.000 To this day, the RNC has not issued a statement admitting that the 2020 election was stolen.
00:08:45.000 They don't believe it!
00:08:46.000 So 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.
00:09:01.000 How much do you think it trickles down to the local level, though?
00:09:05.000 I mean, we know this as the national Republicans, but how much on the local level?
00:09:11.000 Well, it's happening on a local level.
00:09:13.000 It's happening in states.
00:09:15.000 There 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.
00:09:28.000 It was corrupt.
00:09:29.000 Republican establishment officials who utilize the voter fraud machine to silence voters and steal elections.
00:09:41.000 And that's why it's important for people to get involved on the local level.
00:09:46.000 Before 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.
00:09:56.000 So why don't you just give the people in our room what that was like.
00:10:00.000 Yeah, 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,
00:10:18.000 I 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.
00:10:38.000 And 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,
00:10:55.000 which 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?
00:11:03.000 He 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.
00:11:13.000 And 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.
00:11:26.000 And we need to fight the president's office.
00:11:28.000 Thank you very much for all of us.
00:11:36.000 This is actually our first time being a media person.
00:11:38.000 I've known about you for years.
00:11:40.000 You know, exchanged comments online, but you're very brave as well.
00:11:44.000 You 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.
00:11:53.000 And so you spoke out at a network that has a policy of not speaking out about themselves and stolen elections.
00:12:00.000 And you said, hell no.
00:12:01.000 And now you have a very successful career doing independent media as well.
00:12:04.000 So you're very brave as well.
00:12:12.000 You're just an inspiring person.
00:12:13.000 It's so good to meet you, and thanks for being there early on.
