In this episode, I sit down with Laura DeSantis and discuss how she got her start in politics and how she became a conservative voice in the conservative movement. We talk about how she started her career in politics, how she went from being a member of the College Republican Club in college to running for congress in 2016, and why she decided to run for president.
00:00:00.000I am excited for tonight because we have a great guest with a great background.
00:00:05.000You know, I think that you've described yourself as the most bad woman in the country, right?
00:00:10.000So, in the world... I'm gonna give her Twitter back.
00:00:16.000Why I'm excited about, you know, having Laura here tonight is not just to talk about Trump and DeSantis, obviously we're gonna talk about that a lot, but back
00:00:30.000Alex Jones was, you know, people didn't say anything, right?
00:00:33.000They didn't really start trying to fight and try and help you out, but you were really, you guys were the canaries of the whole line for what eventually would be Donald Trump getting banned on Twitter and getting debanked and all that kind of stuff, and nobody bought for you back then.
00:00:44.000I mean, I think I said a few things, but nobody cared about what I had to say in 2018 or 17 or whatever it was.
00:00:50.000So, I'm happy, you know, there's, you might, as you might imagine, we announced this event maybe two months ago or so.
00:00:56.000There are probably a lot of people out there that think we should do a new platform.
00:01:01.000But again, usually when I hear that from Republicans or other people, then that makes me want to bring you here even more, because that means we're platforming somebody who has been in my conversation.
00:01:12.000Even if it's something unpopular, we actually need to stand for the values that we talk about as Republicans and conservatives and all that kind of thing.
00:01:23.000So I'm happy that we could have you here.
00:01:25.000We are going to do this kind of podcast style, where we just go back and forth.
00:01:34.000I'm only going to call on members, so if you're not a member, you've got like 30 minutes to join on our website.
00:01:40.000And then I will, uh, we'll be trying to chat.
00:01:44.000Uh, but only members can ask questions, uh, to us, and then, uh, you know, the goal, like, one of the things, we bring that this is a little bit controversial, right?
00:01:52.000You know, we, we endorsed Ron DeSantis last month, or two months ago at this point, which, yeah.
00:02:12.000There's only a few in the entire country that insert themselves into national politics, or insert themselves into a national conversation, or a global conversation.
00:02:19.000So if we can do that from our little club here in Tampa, which is actually now the second largest nation, but it's still our little club, you know, we did not suppose to do more than a few here.
00:02:27.000And, you know, the goal of this is not to be a debate.
00:02:31.000You know, our audience here are members of the
00:03:44.000Be sure to, if you're not following me on Twitter, just go to my Twitter now and retweet the livestream so everybody on your feed can watch it, or you can also share the live Rumble link as well.
00:03:55.000We're live on Rumble, Twitter, livestream, and YouTube.
00:04:09.000A lot of people are not aware of your background.
00:04:11.000They're not aware of where you started, how you got yourself into politics.
00:04:13.000So let's just talk a little bit about how you got started in politics, what you were doing.
00:04:43.000I could have taken after one semester.
00:04:44.000So I transferred to this school called Barrett University, which is a Catholic school that I was able to get an honor scholarship for.
00:04:53.000And so I immediately transferred and started living in Miami, Florida, where I was the president of the College Republicans.
00:05:00.000And really, all throughout my time in college,
00:05:04.000I worked very hard to really resurrect the College Republican Club, and I used to joke that I was not only the president and vice president, but the treasurer and secretary, right?
00:05:14.000Because I ended up doing all the work.
00:05:16.000Because as you can imagine, it's always an uphill battle when you're trying to
00:05:45.000I was on my own university with James O'Keefe, and when the university had threatened me, because while I was in college, I actually did some work doing voter registration with the Republican Party of Florida, and my university was like threatening to kick me out for some made-up lie, right?
00:06:02.000And I thought to myself, wow, you know, they're so discriminatory towards Republicans.
00:06:06.000Let me come up with some crazy idea to expose my university.
00:06:09.000So I had this idea of creating an ISIS club.
00:06:13.000To see if the university would be more open to me having a pro-ISIS club as opposed to my college Republican club.
00:06:19.000So, I thought I'd hit a camera, and I went to the school administrator, and I was like, you know, I just feel like we're such a totalitarian country, and desperate people do desperate things.
00:06:29.000And so, would it be okay if I started this club called Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria?
00:06:35.000And would it be okay if I sent student government funds overseas to ISIS?
00:06:39.000And they're like, yeah, no problem, just change the name to Students in Support of the Middle East so nobody knows you're sending money to ISIS.
00:06:49.000And we actually replicated the same script at Cornell.
00:06:52.000And long story short, the video came out and I was expelled from college a month before graduation.
00:06:59.000I was valedictorian and I wasn't even allowed to go to my own college graduation.
00:07:03.000I immediately then moved to New York, where I started working full-time undercover with James O'Keefe, and my first undercover assignment as a full-time undercover operative was in the Hillary Clinton campaign.
00:07:16.000So I was embedded in Iowa, New York, Arizona, New Hampshire, and Arizona and Nevada, I believe, for a portion of, well really throughout the entire 2015-2016 election season.
00:08:31.000It's one thing to get banned off social media, right?
00:08:33.000Even people on the right will make arguments, oh, it's a private company, they can ban whoever they want, this and that.
00:08:39.000But then, where my argument's coming from, I've written articles about this, about when all of them, as CEOs, sit around in a big cabal and say, hey, we're going to not just knock you off of Twitter and Facebook and all these other places, but also
00:08:49.000So, it's funny that you say that, because I actually wrote a book, it's in the back there, it's called Loomer, and how I became the most banned woman in the world.
00:09:32.000Counterterrorism tactics have now been deployed against conservative Americans and Trump supporters, and really just anybody, as we saw during, you know, the COVID lockdowns as well.
00:09:43.000All you have to do is be a dissident and go against the mainstream media narrative, and you will have these techniques that were deployed for the sake of combating jihadists, right, during the war on terror, utilized against you.
00:09:55.000And so I wrote this story about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother before she was ever elected to Congress.
00:10:05.000In 2018, I was out in Minnesota doing all this reporting, and when I broke this story, right, people said, oh, Oral Luber's just some crazy anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist, right?
00:10:18.000And, you know, as a Jewish conservative woman, I did a lot of work exposing anti-Semitism, but also, too, exposing the Islamification of our country, right, under the Obama administration, and how that then
00:10:51.000After that, they essentially used that as the excuse to ban me everywhere.
00:10:55.000So I was banned on Facebook, Instagram, PayPal, Venmo, GoFundMe, Chase Bank shut me down from my online bank, I banned on Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, the list goes on and on.
00:11:05.000I banned on Teespring, I got banned on Clubhouse literally five minutes after I created my account.
00:11:12.000You know, it's so hard for me sometimes to even remember all the places that I've been banned, and when I ran for Congress, I was the first
00:11:51.000They actually invented new policies on Facebook and Twitter to keep me off, and Ron DeSantis did nothing about this.
00:11:57.000They refused to address it, even though I was an official candidate on the ballot for the general election.
00:12:03.000And then in 2021, Ron DeSantis was like, oh, we're going to create a big tech social media censorship bill in the state of Florida, and we're going to make it illegal for companies to censor candidates running for office.
00:12:15.000At the time, right, I was the only candidate in the state of Florida that this applied to, aside from Donald Trump, because in 2021, right, he was de-platformed on January 8th, 2021, right, two days after January 6th.
00:12:27.000And so, the only two people this would have really applied to was myself and Donald Trump.
00:12:34.000I actually raised $40,000 to do this on my own.
00:12:37.000The Florida State Capitol was locked down at the time, despite claims that Florida is, like, you know, a free state that never had any lockdowns.
00:12:44.000And I had to literally get a lobbyist in order to have meetings with our elected officials in the state of Florida to try to influence them on amending their big tech bill to include payment processor protection as well.
00:12:58.000Because it's not just your ability to have access to social media companies, right?
00:13:03.000It's arguably worse, you know, than, like, to not be able to have a bank, to not have a Facebook, right?
00:13:08.000Well, not just a bank, but payment processing, or also to Uber and Lyft.
00:13:12.000Like, one example I gave when I was the only Floridian, believe it or not, who testified in front of the Florida House Appropriations Committee on this bill.
00:13:22.000And I said, you know, Uber and Lyft during one of the hurricanes, I forget the name of the one, that was Hurricane Dorian, the one that was supposed to come through Palm Beach County, right?
00:13:31.000When I was living there, I was like, oh my God, I live in the middle of an evacuation zone.
00:13:35.000And I remember, I was like, what am I going to do with my car?
00:13:38.000And I thought to myself, oh wow, this is really interesting.
00:13:41.000Uber and Lyft then put out this announcement that they were going to be giving people in Palm Beach and evacuation zones free rides to shelters.
00:13:50.000So does that mean that because I'm banned by big tech, because they discriminate against me for being a conservative, that they would allow me to potentially die in a hurricane?
00:14:01.000So life or death matter when you think about it.
00:14:03.000We saw during COVID when they said, okay, you have to socially distance and you have to be home and get your news on Facebook and Twitter.
00:14:11.000And if you go back and you look at these briefings, the sheriffs and even Ron DeSantis himself were saying, oh, follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
00:14:18.000For life-saving information, when everybody thought that COVID was like the zombie apocalypse, right?
00:14:23.000And that we were all going to die before we realized that it was a flu with a 99.7% recovery rate, right?
00:14:29.000So imagine, imagine if it really was a serious outbreak, something like Ebola, okay?
00:14:34.000And you have your elected officials saying, okay, the only way you're going to get life-saving information is if you follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
00:14:41.000This is not just an issue of free speech, it's now a civil rights issue.
00:14:46.000I had advocated and really told the Florida Legislature, listen, you guys need to approach this not from a standpoint of Section 230, but from a civil rights aspect.
00:14:57.000And the civil rights laws in Florida need to be updated to include political affiliation as a protected class so that conservatives are not discriminated against.
00:15:11.000Okay, you have Elon Musk now proclaiming that it's a digital public square, and when you decide to completely digitally exterminate somebody, and you are illegally interfering in the will of the people, when you combine all the people who live in District 21 and District 11, that's over 2 million people who had their
00:15:30.000Election illegally interfered in with zero consequence whatsoever here in the state of Florida, while your governor, okay, our governor, unfortunately, is going on Fox News with Tucker Carlson saying, well, in Florida, under my leadership, it's illegal now to censor candidates.
00:15:45.000I'm walking, living, breathing proof that no big tech company has faced any consequence whatsoever for their illegal election interference and civil rights violations of Floridians.
00:15:57.000Yeah, there's obviously a lot to unpack there, and I think that, again, it does prove that, you know, you get banned from something, and it does, you want to run for Congress, you want to run for some sort of elected office, that it does, it is election interference, and we're obviously seeing it a lot now when it comes to the presidential election, and obviously you haven't allowed back on Twitter, and so part of this last election, I would say that you're probably one of the loudest voices for Donald Trump, who's not currently using Twitter, right?
00:16:24.000And I think that, didn't today he just send you a letter or something thanking you for all the work you're doing and all that kind of stuff?
00:16:31.000So, talk about now what it's been like to at least have one platform back, and what has been the experience where people are starting to hear your voice for the first time in many years?
00:16:43.000Yeah, so he did actually send me a letter today thanking me.
00:17:12.000And he has his secretary print out every single article, and then when he wants to reply to the person who wrote the article, he writes in big black sharpies, you know?
00:17:22.000And then they scan it and they send it back to whoever wrote it.
00:17:26.000So I get these scanned messages from Trump all the time where it's like, oh, great job, love this article, you know?
00:18:20.000And if any of you are in influencer marketing, and I know some of you are, and there are a lot of big social media influencers here in the state of Florida and Tampa, you know that your livelihood is directly tied to your following.
00:18:33.000So just imagine if you're trying to just push out your articles and even get a story out, and you're not even allowed to have access to anything because it just gets blocked.
00:18:42.000But there are still people that don't want me online.
00:18:46.000Like I said, it's just about informing people, and I feel like I'm doing a really big public service, even though a lot of people in Florida are pissed at me for going after Ron DeSantis the way I am, because people need to have integrity.
00:19:00.000And we voted for Ron DeSantis as governor because we thought that he was going to serve a second four-year term.
00:19:05.000And I think that it's very disingenuous and it's very decessive for him to take, right,
00:19:12.000$200 million in donations from Trump supporters like he did.
00:19:15.000He broke fundraising records in 2022 when he ran for governor again.
00:19:19.000And then he held on to $100 million of those donations.
00:19:22.000And now he's weaponized them against Donald Trump.
00:19:25.000I mean, how many of you donated to Ron DeSantis in 2022?
00:19:36.000Right, so it's not okay, it's not acceptable, and
00:19:40.000The fact that he also has weaponized and abused his power to change Florida law, like changing Florida's resign-to-run law, unacceptable.
00:19:47.000That's the kind of stuff that we would attack the left for.
00:19:50.000You know, one of the things about that rule, you know, I ran for state house last year and if I were sitting up there right now, one of the things that I would notice about that law is it's not, and this is actually kind of my argument, not just what's happening for a presidential election, but how it affects all of the people below that want to run for city council, the county commission, and all these other things.
00:20:10.000Like, we have a lot of people in this state, and they didn't change the rule, they only changed the rule for president,
00:20:45.000The Republican Party, you know, how does McCarthy treat you?
00:20:48.000You know, I could talk about my experience about how the GOP treats me here, you know, whether I want to challenge somebody or not, or whether you want to challenge somebody or not.
00:20:55.000Like, talk a little bit about what it's like to challenge the establishment when you want to run.
00:21:01.000Well, I think it's important for everybody to understand that just like Kevin McCarthy, right, controls all the congressional races,
00:21:08.000Whether or not you want to believe that, it is true, right?
00:21:11.000He controls the flow of money from the NRCC, okay?
00:21:14.000Into these races, and if Kevin McCarthy doesn't want you in, they're going to find ways to subvert your race and to throw dark money at your race to try to subvert you, especially if you are a challenging incumbent like I did.
00:21:25.000And in your case, right, you ran for Florida House, and so Ron DeSantis controls the Florida GOP.
00:21:33.000People think, oh, it's Christian Ziegler, the chairman, or, oh, it's Evan Power.
00:21:36.000The Florida GOP is still controlled by Governor Ron DeSantis, right?
00:21:40.000They try to pretend like, oh, he moved out of our office, even though we had 24 of his staffers on our payroll until the time that he filed to run for president.
00:21:53.000That's not how popular he is, it's the fact that he acts like a dictator.
00:22:05.000He literally threatened the legislature, and it's on record.
00:22:08.000You have legislators and lobbyists on record in Florida who said, oh, we were basically propositioned by Ron DeSantis' official campaign staff and his official taxpayer-funded staff in his gubernatorial office in Tallahassee, and they said, hey, if you don't write a max-out donation check to Ron DeSantis, you're not going to get any access, and we're going to make sure your legislative efforts fail.
00:22:29.000There are articles written about and even confirmed by legislators.
00:22:43.000Well, he represents Sarasota, Joe Gruters says.
00:22:46.000And so Ron DeSantis vetoed over $30 million of funds that were supposed to go towards projects to help improve the quality of life for the residents of Sarasota as a form of
00:23:05.000So, I don't think that that's effective leadership when you're literally threatening freshman lawmakers and saying, hey, be prepared to get a primary opponent when you run again if you don't endorse Ron DeSantis.
00:23:16.000Well, one thing I'll say to that, you know, we had Mike Belcher, state rep, Mike Belcher in here last month.
00:23:21.000And we had, I want to say, ten state reps or something like that that did not endorse Ron DeSantis or so.
00:23:41.000In the past, when we had Jeb Bush or we had Rick Scott and some of these other governors, you know, we had Senate presidents who maybe could push back on them, or like they maybe, they didn't feel that the governor was popular enough that he could overpower them on an issue or anything.
00:23:54.000Like, do you think it's just the way that Ron DeSantis is styled as governor, or do you think it has to do with just the mandate he feels as he has because of the election results?
00:24:06.000So, I actually just did a story about this
00:24:09.000And I wrote a story about how when Ron DeSantis had the 100 million dollars left over, and it's all sourced, I'm not making this stuff up, you can see it.
00:24:16.000A lot of people don't want to talk about this because another thing that Ron DeSantis does is he credits reporters.
00:24:21.000And this has been documented as well, where you are a reporter, you push back on Ron DeSantis,
00:24:26.000In the Florida media or the national press, and you hold his campaign accountable or question why they're doing certain things, you're blacklisted from his campaign events.
00:24:49.000And one of the things that he did was he appointed, in May of 2022, a guy by the name of Cord Bird as the new Florida Secretary of State.
00:24:57.000And he quietly had Cord Bird change the Florida election handbook with regards to how you're allowed to transfer funds between state entities like state PACs and federal PACs.
00:25:10.000And so what Ron DeSantis did is he deceptively had the name of his PAC, Friends of Ron DeSantis, changed to the Empower Parents PAC.
00:25:17.000And then Blake DiGoglio, who's a state senator, okay, in the state of Florida, was listed as the chairman of the PAC.
00:25:24.000Then what they did is they quietly, right, days after the Florida legislature changed, resigned to run, and they said that they passed the amendment, they quietly transferred $1 million to a brand new PAC that got propped up days later after this legislation was approved.
00:25:40.000And guess who operates the new PAC called Empower Parents Florida?
00:25:43.000You see the same exact name except for Florida at the end to try to confuse people about the flow of money.
00:25:49.000Paul Renner, the Florida Speaker of the House.
00:25:51.000And so, when you say, oh, do you think that, you know, Ron Skanzis is just his strong leadership that gets the Senate President and the Florida Speaker of the House on board with him?
00:26:33.000For some people, state politics just isn't as sexy as all the national political drama.
00:26:38.000So you have all this bribery and corruption that's happening here, and I'm calling it out, and I get called a hater, but I'm just trying to inform you of an abuse of power that's taking place right under your noses!
00:26:51.000So to speak to that, I'm kind of here just to play devil's advocate to this, so that there's some sort of back and forth on it.
00:26:57.000What I've heard from other people who talk about this million dollars that got sent to Paul Ruddertag and everything, is that this money is going to be spent for school board races, like all across the state and everything like that.
00:27:07.000And so you've got potential school board, conservative school board nominees that might benefit from this, and that this money is going to end up being used- Well, they're liars, and I have the evidence that I'll tell you why they're liars right now.
00:27:17.000So that's exactly the place to go, they have said.
00:27:19.000He goes, oh, we're going to transfer the $82.5 million that's left over, okay, in the PAC.
00:27:25.000They changed the name to Empower Parents PAC.
00:27:28.000They were on DeSantis, friends of Ron DeSantis PAC.
00:27:31.000That was $82.5 million that was raised from Trump supporters for the sake of getting Ron DeSantis re-elected.
00:27:37.000They quietly have the Florida law changed so that you can transfer it to a federal entity.
00:27:41.000And then, Blazin' Gokulia, okay, props up this fake website for the Empower Parents PAC.
00:27:47.000And they say, oh, we're going to help spread a message of parental rights, and we're going to help school board racism, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.
00:27:55.000They literally transfer the $82.5 million to the Never Back Down super PAC, and then they send the letter the next day to the Florida Division of Elections asking them to shutter the PAC.
00:28:10.000Like, oh, no, let's make it seem like we're going to protect parents and support parents
00:28:15.000And then we're actually just going to transfer it to a federal race, and we're going to quietly end the pack so that nobody knows, but we're going to keep the website active so that your average person really thinks that, wow, Ron was such a great guy, he just gave me 2.5 million dollars to support parents' rights.
00:28:49.000I guess my opinion personally over this kind of stuff is that I see money moving from pack to pack to pack in all these different places and every candidate does it.
00:29:20.000I'm like Glenn Young and I'm here to be the savior for your children.
00:29:23.000And then he says, okay, I'm gonna give you guys $82.5 million because I'm so generous and this money's gonna go towards bolstering the parental rights movement.
00:29:31.000But it's actually being spent, because they only transferred the money.
00:29:35.000All $82.5 million of it went to the Never Back Down Super PAC, which is now running.
00:29:40.000They just took out a seven-figure anti-Trump TV ad buy in the state of Iowa.
00:29:47.000And then on top of it, he lied and said he raised $150 million through a joint fundraising effort through the PAC, the Never Back Down PAC, and the Ron DeSantis for President campaign.
00:29:57.000So they said, oh, DeSantis raised $20 million for his campaign.
00:30:00.000Oh, he raised so much more money than Trump because the PAC raised $130 million.
00:30:04.000Well, you didn't really raise $130 million on the PAC.
00:30:07.000You transferred $82.5 million from your gubernatorial PAC that was money.
00:30:13.000Trump supporters trusted that you were going to use that money to further your agenda as governor.
00:30:19.000Not just staff, but the man in the back.
00:30:29.000When it comes to the support manager, that is what a lot of the Trump supporters really feel, that this is a loyalty thing, that this is about going and stabbing somebody in the back.
00:30:40.000That's overall the ethos of what a lot of people feel.
00:30:42.000But it's also corruption, it's not like you just take Trump out of it for a second.
00:30:46.000Let's just say that he was to use the million dollars.
00:30:49.000Like I said, last election we ended up having 30 or so school board members that were actually endorsed by Rhonda Sanderson.
00:30:56.000This is actually something we talked about a lot during the last election, was that we never had a governor that actually came in and got themselves into the weeds of a school board race.
00:31:05.000This was something that was totally ignored locally in all these different places.
00:31:08.000If that money does end up going towards another slew of 30
00:31:59.000So that Ron DeSantis could take his name off of the Friends of Ron DeSantis hat, so that nobody would know that $82.5 million was transferred from the state entity, okay, over to a federal anti-Trump supercat.
00:32:14.000And so, we could talk about, well, what if he sends money?
00:32:18.000They've already plumbed through millions of dollars, and all of the money has been earmarked for the Never Back Down supercat, which is now bankrolling in violation of election laws.
00:32:27.000The Ron DeSantis for President campaign, because he's not fiscally conservative, and he has blown through over 69% of his first quarter fundraising funds.
00:32:38.000So I would love to sit here and talk to you about, well, what if they decide to get involved in racism?
00:32:43.000How about local candidates with, you know, mass donations?
00:32:50.000They psychologically manipulated you and said, oh, well,
00:32:53.000How nice of them to put the focus on parental rights because they're trying to mimic the Glenn Youngkin strategy of having this red wave that's catapulted by the parental rights movement.
00:33:06.000And if you follow the money trail, as I've laid out, with all the financial expenditure receipts and documentation, you'll see the PAC doesn't even exist anymore.
00:33:16.000It was an affront to protect Ron DeSantis' name.
00:33:20.000I know that, obviously, you do this every day, right?
00:33:24.000And you are digging in probably more than anybody else in the country on some of the reports, the NBC reports, all this other kind of stuff.
00:34:00.000One of the things I wanted to ask you, though, is to talk a little bit more about... I wanted you to talk a little bit more broadly about, like, some of the appeal to Donald Trump over DeSantis more than some of, like, the nuances of some of these... Yeah, well...
00:34:17.000Well, that's why I think, you know, that's why I was going to ask you if you want to try to grab the microphone, I was going to say.
00:34:27.000All I was going to say is that perhaps now that, you know, the curtain, right, or the mask has been ripped off of Ron DeSantis,
00:34:33.000I mean, how many people are members of your club would be open to redoing a bowl?
00:34:37.000Because I think a lot of people were juiced into thinking that Ron DeSantis was somebody that he isn't.
00:34:42.000And I think that now that a lot of this information has come out, perhaps your club members would actually endorse Donald Trump over Ron DeSantis.
00:34:55.000It's actually something within our board we've talked about doing straw polls along the way, because things do change, obviously.
00:35:02.000I defend the decision that we made to do it at the very beginning of this election without Ray jumping in, because I think, again, it brings attention to our club, and I think it was the right thing to do, but the point is that we are going to probably be continuing to poll as we go throughout this entire thing, so it's something that we're going to be doing.
00:35:18.000Yeah, I mean, you guys, if you want to get attention,
00:35:20.000Tampa, Tampa Bay, and I'm a Republican for a sin to endorse this!
00:35:31.000That's the goal here, we're just here to make national headlines.
00:35:35.000So, like I said, what I do want to keep going on about is, again, I want to continue to talk, you know, broadly, like, what is the argument, you know, for Trump over DeSantis beyond just some of the things you've gotten to so far?
00:35:48.000You know, look, President Donald Trump, okay, he had four years of prudent, effective policy in his hand.
00:35:54.000And the fact of the matter is, is we can go through policies all night long, but I think that integrity matters.
00:36:00.000And I think that, uh, Donald Trump's, uh, you know, voice is castrated, but promises made, promises kept is important.
00:36:07.000And Ronald Santas promised to be governor for another four years.
00:36:11.000Okay, it's rather selfish of him to rob another politically-minded, aspirational Republican of the opportunity to run for governor of Florida if he, in fact, didn't want to be a full-time governor.
00:36:28.000I know here in Tampa we have the highest inflation in the state of Florida.
00:36:32.000Tampa has the highest inflation of any city in the state of Florida, and it's the highest inflation of any city in the entire country.
00:36:39.000So, it's very expensive, and we have a housing market, an insurance crisis here, and I think that the fact that Governor Ron DeSantis is willing to completely abandon the needs, okay, and the concerns of the people that he took an oath to represent is all the evidence in the world that you need as to why he's not running for primetime, why he is not
00:37:03.000To, I don't even think run for president ever, not even in 2028, because we really haven't been able to see this man's true character.
00:37:09.000And so, I'm happy to answer questions about Donald Trump's policies on my blog, but the fact of the matter is, is majority of Americans in this country, across party lines, believe that the 2020 election was stolen, or somehow fraudulent.
00:37:24.000And so, can we now know that the election was fraudulent?
00:37:28.000Okay, we've seen the whistleblower testimony, we've seen congressional testimony from the Big Ten executives that show that the FBI had weekly briefings leading up to the 2020 election to censor information that otherwise fully indicates would have completely
00:37:44.000Donald Trump is entitled to the second term that was stolen from him.
00:37:51.000If we are a country that is just going to roll over and make excuses for this illegitimate communist regime that is occupying the White House right now to steal our election and deprive us of the representation that we are entitled to and the representation that we voted for,
00:38:16.000And I would say today that the American empire has collapsed.
00:38:21.000For 2024 is our last chance to prove the world whether or not Americans truly have a backbone.
00:38:26.000Whether or not this great experiment is worth preserving any longer.
00:38:30.000Because if we're not going to fight for election integrity, which is the most important issue facing our country and the entire world today, then I would say that we deserve to fail.
00:38:44.000This organization actually came out in the state of Florida.
00:38:46.000We came out in 2020 or so, and as soon as the election was finished, we actually came out with an entire list of all the different things and different changes that need to go back after the COVID laws have changed everything.
00:38:56.000The mass mail-in ballots, the Zuckerberg money, all that kind of stuff.
00:39:18.000We're trying to change the laws all over the country to get, get rid of all of the crazy COVID laws that still exist around here.
00:39:24.000About a third of the country has fixed them, but about maybe half of the country has not.
00:39:28.000So I have very little faith that we're not going to see almost the exact same thing in a lot of these states that are in the swing states and everything.
00:39:35.000Yeah, well, they are trying to seal the primary election nomination for Donald Trump.
00:40:07.000And as I exclusively, I wrote this story actually, Evan Howard, who is the Vice Chair of the Florida GOP, did you know that he is married to Melissa Power, who is the CFO, the Chief Financial Officer of the Ron DeSantis for President campaign?
00:40:22.000I mean, talk about a conflict of interest, okay?
00:40:24.000And then on top of that, the Republican Party of Florida just changed their rules.
00:40:28.000To make it so that if you don't sign a loyalty oath, you can't even be on a ballot in the state of Florida.
00:40:43.000I don't know if any of you saw my expose two weeks ago on the California GOP.
00:40:48.000They were literally trying to have a secret meeting, okay, to change California's winner-take-all delegation process.
00:40:54.000For the process of awarding delegates in the GOP primary in California, which is always winner-take-all, to make it proportional so that even if you won the California GOP primary
00:41:15.000There's 169 delegates in California, which is the most delegates out of any state in the country, right?
00:41:20.000So California, believe it or not, plays a really big role in deciding who the GOP nominee is on the floor of a convention, right?
00:41:27.000When we are in Seattle at a convention.
00:41:29.000And they were trying to make it so that even if you were to win, right, majority, you would still have to give the second place person, in this case Ron DeSantis, right?
00:41:38.000We're looking at national poll trends right now.
00:41:45.000And that's a way, okay, to compromise for the fact that Ron Sanders, they know, is not going to be able to win states like Iowa.
00:41:52.000He's not going to be able to win states like New Hampshire.
00:41:54.000And so, just like we saw the strategy in 2016 at the convention, right, where Ken Trucinelli and all these other Trumpers and tech producers tried to have a brokered convention, where they had a delegate heist on the floor of the convention.
00:42:09.000Why do you think Ron DeSantis hired all of Ted Cruz's former, uh, like, his entire campaign apparatus from 2015-2016, which Ted Cruz generally was a part of?
00:42:19.000Because when he keeps saying, oh, we have a plan, we have a plan, well, look, dude, you're, uh, working for all your money, and you're at 17% in the polls nationally, and, uh, Donald Trump is, like, 40 points ahead of you, and you're, you're just, uh, trashing every single day.
00:42:35.000It's these last minute rule changes and procedural limits.
00:42:38.000If Donald Trump is not able to be on the ballot in Florida, he can kiss the GOP nomination goodbye.
00:42:44.000So we need to hold the Florida GOP accountable because they're literally trying to bring this election.
00:42:49.000That's something that, you know, I know you and Evan Powers have gone back and forth about this on Twitter and Christian Ziegler and these guys.
00:42:55.000Because he's a liar, they're just honest.
00:42:57.000So, you know, one of the things that you... I mean, you have to admit, it's a conflict of interest.
00:43:01.000But do you think... I mean, let me stop you, though, really quick.
00:43:18.000If you were to have a trial, you go through jury selection, and if you have a populative interest, right, you can't be on the jury.
00:43:24.000So what makes Eisenhower think that he can be a neutral participant in overseeing the Florida GOP primary when his wife is literally getting picked by the Ron DeSantis for President campaign?
00:43:34.000So one of the things, as far as like changing the rules and everything goes, I mean like I think that this has been something that's, you know, like if I join the RAC, which I'm part of the RAC, you're gonna have to take a loyalty oath to the Republican Party, and then the argument is that like you take, you don't want to get somebody on the stage in a debate where you have the Sunshine State Summit, and they use that platform to run as an independent.
00:44:04.000Who have to work for the Republican Party.
00:44:06.000In my opinion, it's good for the Republican Party.
00:44:13.000Punching right is good for the Republican Party.
00:44:15.000Because if we don't start calling out our own, and we don't start having higher standards for all of these rhinos who are essentially Democrats with an R next to their name on the ballot, then
00:44:26.000Yeah, you complain about the Uniparty.
00:44:38.000I mean, what happens if you find out that a nominee has child porn on their laptop, and then they say, oh, you have to take an oath to support this person because they're our nominee?
00:44:49.000No, I'm not owing for anybody who I don't support.
00:44:53.000I am only supporting Donald Trump, and I'm proudly his only Trumper voter.
00:45:05.000I will campaign against Ron DeSantis if he is the nominee.
00:45:08.000Because I'm not going to be told by the feckless, corrupt Republican Party that did nothing when Donald Trump was deplatformed, that did nothing when I was deplatformed in the state of Florida, that did nothing to fight back against the stolen election, who I'm going to vote for.
00:45:23.000I will vote for whoever I want to vote for, and all of you should vote for whoever you want to vote for.
00:45:50.000I do think it's good to have these conversations within the primary and do all that kind of stuff.
00:46:01.000I do think that when it comes to loyalty oaths and all this kind of stuff, again, this is something that we do as a party because what I don't want to see is, again, I know that you feel a certain way about Rhonda Sanders, but ultimately when this primary is over, I think this is where you and I will disagree on the most, is that
00:46:16.000We should be getting behind whoever the Republican nominee is, because if the alternative is Biden, I will vote for, I don't know everybody that's in the race, but just about everybody else in the Republican Party, I will take Ron DeSantis over him, I will take Biden over him, I will take all these different people over him, because I don't want another round of Biden and the communist regime that you're talking about there.
00:46:34.000And so that's where, that's kind of where, you know, I think, where I come from.
00:46:38.000But that's exactly what we're going to have.
00:46:39.000Because if we, if we allow for them to deprive Donald Trump of the nomination,
00:46:45.000We are signing off our seal of approval for a rigged election.
00:46:48.000So I'm not going to vote in the 2024 general election unless Donald Trump is nominated.
00:46:53.000And I, I, I am, I might seem like an extreme standpoint to have, but I just cannot.
00:47:02.000It's just a matter of principle for me.
00:47:05.000I cannot allow for a stolen election to be forgotten.
00:47:11.000Because if we allow them to get away with what they did to Donald Trump, they are going to do it to all of us.
00:47:18.000And 2024, above anything else, is about retribution.
00:47:22.000It is about reclaiming what was taken from us.
00:47:26.000It is about restoring our power structure as we, the people, in the United States of America.
00:47:32.000And as Donald Trump says, the only thing standing between us and them is Donald Trump.
00:47:41.000I view every single GOP candidate who's running against Donald Trump as a Democrat.
00:47:46.000Because if you're not willing to take a stand against the weaponization of government against Donald Trump, when everybody knows the election was stolen, everybody knows that it's a witch hunt, everybody knows that it's an abuse of power and a two-tiered justice system in a banana republic, then you're a Democrat.
00:48:03.000Oh, we're going to go after the weaponization of government, but his entire political strategy for winning the 2024 GOP nomination is, oh, Donald Trump's going to be indicted and go to jail, and then the pathway's going to be cleared.
00:48:20.000I'm just really passionate about this because I just love Donald Trump so much.
00:48:23.000I just feel it's not just about Donald Trump, it's about all of us.
00:48:27.000And maybe it's because I have been targeted the same way that Donald Trump has.
00:48:32.000And literally, like, the same judges who went after Donald Trump have gone after me politically.
00:48:37.000I just feel like it's a personal attack on me, you know?
00:48:41.000Like, I feel personally victimized by Ron DeSantis, by him running against Donald Trump, because I feel like it's an affront on election integrity, and I feel like it's an affront on all of the Americans, the 81 million Americans who had their votes defiled and robbed, you know?
00:48:57.000Shouldn't we just laugh in the face and
00:48:59.000Donald Trump gives me hope, and Donald Trump is the only thing that is going to give so many people in this country who are feeling a sense of hopelessness a purpose, right, for their future.
00:49:15.000And I really do, I know it sounds a little dramatic, but I think 2024 is it.
00:49:19.000I think we really are a failed empire.
00:49:33.000And we are rotten from within, and we have societal decay, okay?
00:49:38.000And it has permeated and infiltrated every single institution in our country, especially our election.
00:49:44.000And, you know, we're not going to have much more time left in this country, but I want to enjoy it with somebody like Donald Trump.
00:49:55.000I think one of the biggest missteps of Ron DeSantis' campaign has been the fact that they have not been out, you know, campaigning and protesting when he's getting indicted and not standing behind Donald Trump during that time.
00:50:05.000I think that that's something that is a huge miscalculation by their campaign and all the other campaigns as well.
00:50:09.000Because, like you said, if it happens to Donald Trump, why do you think it's not going to happen to you?
00:50:14.000Why are we not investing all this money into changing the laws, into doing all these different things that we can actually win an election when it comes to 2024, no matter who the candidate is?
00:50:22.000We're having some fun here, but I do want to open it up to questions now, and I know that you've got all kinds of things, so if we have a question, anyone wants to kick it off?
00:51:44.000I guess Twitter, Facebook, and I had a case against Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Apple that actually went all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:51:50.000And so during that time, of course, I wasn't able to have any fake accounts, and none of them ever had any fake accounts.
00:51:57.000But, you know, the cancel culture environment is very prevalent.
00:52:04.000I guess you could say, in and the right, in the right, in the movement.
00:52:07.000Even though I approached certain conservative networks and I said, hey, I could write under a ghost name if your issue is just the association with me, some of them were just so terrified of anyone ever finding out that they said no.
00:52:19.000So it was very difficult, because I really wasn't able, and Ed's laughing in the back because he knows.
00:52:24.000I've known Ed for years, and I'm very slow to get out, and I'm part of my production team.
00:52:28.000And, you know, people, even thinkers, people that preach every single day about, oh, I'm so against cancel culture, right?
00:52:35.000They're scared of the ball coming from left, and that's the problem, right?
00:52:39.000Because you have so many people in common, because I like to say that talk about how there's so many times cancel culture, but I would say that I think I've been canceled more by the right than the left.
00:52:48.000Sure, the left, like, they ban me on social media, but Republicans didn't even speak up for me when I ran for Congress when I was an official America First candidate on the ballot.
00:53:00.000The Republican Party of Florida, when I won my election in 2020, and I was on the general election ballot, they called every single candidate who had won their primary to make them see how they could support them except for me.
00:53:13.000Do you wonder if you're sabotaging or perhaps this is true?
00:53:17.000Well, I think that they lied about me, right?
00:53:40.000People despise some, but, you know, like, they have fan clubs that come and protest for them, and, you know, some people have, you know, written nice fan mail and all, but it would have been nice to have some, some, uh,
00:54:12.000Look, being against Sharia, and calling for equal human rights, and being against the Islamic nature of our country doesn't make me a Muslim here.
00:54:21.000I am against Islam, because Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization, and tenets within Islam, okay, are incompatible with Western Civilization and the United States Constitution, which was derived from the Bible.
00:54:36.000And of course, when you have an ideology, like Islam, that is calling for
00:54:41.000Uh, literally, the murder of non-Muslims, okay?
00:54:44.000Christians, Jews, or anybody that doesn't want to submit or convert.
00:55:02.000I mean, it's just one of those things, and, uh, I ran for Congress for that reason, because
00:55:07.000You know, it's sad when you see the Republican Party talk about how they care about free speech, but they won't even fight for a candidate that worked their ass off, okay, and secured a spot on the ballot.
00:55:17.000Regardless of what they think about me, it's not about me.
00:55:20.000It's about allowing for the voters of Florida to have their fair decision.
00:55:47.000You know, we talk about punch and write, and how it can be beneficial, but it also can be divisive.
00:55:53.000So when you're saying that anybody who is running against Trump, essentially running as a Democrat,
00:55:59.000I find it very hard when everyone at Turning Point, for example, saw Weibach, all his numbers popped up.
00:56:04.000And to call Weibach a Democrat is not even a stretch, it's just, quite frankly, blasphemy.
00:56:10.000So what I'm saying is, if we all want to vote for who we want to vote for, and I'm not putting my name out for anybody at this point, but what I'm saying is, if we're going to vote for who we want to vote for, those candidates also have that same right to go and run.
00:56:23.000So why don't we have, why shouldn't we hear them?
00:56:30.000Look, what I'm saying is that it's not that they're Democrats simply for running against Trump.
00:56:35.000What I'm saying is that if they're not going to speak out against the weaponization of government that's happening against Donald Trump, and whether they're going to simultaneously run against him, then I know better than a Democrat.
00:56:45.000I have been very vocal in my collaboration group that I actually interviewed him at the courthouse, in front of the Miami courthouse, where I organized the rally in support of President Trump, and I said, you know, this is my problem with Protestantism.
00:56:59.000I said, look, I don't think you're going to win, Vivek, but I think that it's admirable that you're out here, because at least you're taking a stand.
00:57:11.000We're not going to stand for those kind of issues, because he's running against the man he owes his entire political career to, and he's so... In a game of boxing, or maybe it's a thirst, right?
00:57:23.000His thirst and his desire for political power supersedes
00:57:27.000His desire for justice and equal application of the law.
00:57:31.000And so, if you go back, you have a guy who's ambitious, okay?
00:57:35.000He's almost a billionaire, from my understanding.
00:57:37.000He's certainly got enough money to sell finances and campaign, but he has enough political integrity and he's put principle over politics, right?
00:57:44.000So he knows that, yeah, if he's running against Donald Trump, who's technically his opponent, but at the same time, he's going to have the integrity to speak out against a weaponized government.
00:57:54.000So, if you're not going to do that, then yeah, you're like a Democrat.
00:57:57.000That's all I'm trying to say, except maybe I should have clarified it better, is that if you're not going to see the audience, what ways do you think the government can simultaneously run?
00:58:03.000I don't know what everyone would know about.
00:58:11.000I'm very on record for hating my bank.
00:58:13.000I think he's trying to be the NIH director so he can go and protect everybody from Pfizer and protect all of his investors.
00:58:20.000And I think, honestly, I think he's there as a big pharma shield and I think that's actually the reason he's running.
00:59:48.000But, uh, the fact of the matter is that technically everything I said is true.
00:59:52.000It isn't like, when you make a statement that's a thing,
00:59:55.000And I have not seen her medical records, and so I don't really know if it was stage 4 cancer or not.
01:00:00.000I'm not saying that she's AIDS or cancer, but I do find it to be rather distasteful to, uh, run political ads in an attempt to, what I say is, in an attempt to get a sympathy vote.
01:00:11.000And I know I received a lot of heat for this.
01:00:13.000I'm not going to apologize for what I said.
01:00:15.000If people want to get offended with me, that's their problem, not mine.
01:00:20.000Your medical diagnosis should be between you and your doctor, and I don't really... If she doesn't really have cancer, I don't understand why it needs to be brought up on the campaign trail, unless it's like... a political prop for the sake of, you know, helping get female suburban widows for her husband's failing presidential campaign.
01:00:38.000It's distasteful, and I would say that if they're not focused on her health, and if they're not concerned about, uh, you know, her... I'm not saying that...
01:00:47.000Well, she seems to be fine now, right?
01:00:49.000She doesn't have cancer anymore, but if it's that big of an issue, then maybe he should've, you know, weighed his priorities.
01:00:54.000He ran for governor, even though he always knew that he wasn't going to run or keep his second term.
01:01:27.000You said that most or a lot of your censorship comes from people on the right, right?
01:01:30.000Obviously we've seen people like TPUSA leaders, deep platform conservatives like you, other conservatives too, like American First leaders and whatnot.
01:01:38.000My question is to you, is who do we trust?
01:01:41.000And how do we gatekeep and prevent these people from taking over our institutions so that we're not having these conversations here today?
01:01:51.000That's a really good question, and look, I mean, who people are going to trust depends on what their viewpoints are, because not everybody shares, not everybody on the right has the same viewpoints, right?
01:02:01.000Not everybody would classify themselves as the same type of conservative, right?
01:02:05.000So I would say that I'm more of a nationalist, right, populist, constitutional conservative, whereas a lot of the people at TPUSA and in the establishment GOP class are more neoconservative, okay?
01:02:17.000And they fall into the Unicarty category.
01:02:19.000And so, um, I just encourage people to really, uh, seek out their own information and to try to meet people themselves and see all viewpoints before they just regurgitate things that are four steps in on Fox News.
01:02:51.000And, um, it's really up to everybody to seek out their own information, but because we live in a misinformation culture now, where it's so easy to just push information out, it's very important for people to verify that.
01:03:04.000So, coming out tonight, listening to talks for yourself, or, you know, digging into reports, learn some investigative skills, right?
01:03:12.000You can also learn how to read these NBC reports, or, you know, do some investigative work on the side yourself, because
01:03:19.000Even though the Republican Party sometimes tells you things that doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
01:03:24.000For example, the Republicans recently said, oh, we defunded the 87,000 IRS agents, right?
01:03:30.000And that's parroted by all the right-wing networks because they don't want to piss off McCarthy or lose access to these certain congressional candidates.
01:03:38.000They didn't defund the 87,000 IRS agents, right?
01:03:41.000They did it just like so much of what they say isn't true, and I think that the Republican Party is as much of a purveyor of fake news as the Democrat Party, and that's the crisis that we're living in today.
01:03:52.000We are really living in an information war, as Alex Jones would say, and it's up to all of us to resist the New Party.
01:04:03.000Yeah, if you're listeners that are online don't know that the last endorsement that we did before this one was just anybody but McCarthy and anybody but McConnell as well.
01:05:25.000And so it's pretty difficult when you think about it because we really honestly haven't done anything to change the situation that we found ourselves in in 2020 with all of this mail-in ballot fraud.
01:05:36.000And so, really, ultimately, I think that now that everybody's like really hypersensitive to voter fraud, there's going to be people that are more aware and they're more aware about the big tech social media censorship as well.
01:05:48.000The fact of the matter is, is the Republican Party hasn't dropped a ball.
01:05:53.000Donald Trump is a candidate, just like Donald Trump is a candidate, or even better, any of these other candidates, but the Republican Party apparatus is behind.
01:06:03.000They are behind, and we've seen this on a national level, where, you know, we should have been having conversations about ballot harvesting techniques two years ago.
01:06:27.000That's great and all, but there's still the issue of Facebook and Instagram and all the payment processors and the search engine manipulation as well.
01:06:39.000With regards to Donald Trump, the poll numbers show that he is skyrocketing every single time he faces another indictment.
01:06:45.000So this idea that, oh, well, he can't beat Biden because, you know, he has too many legal issues.
01:06:50.000Every single time Donald Trump is indicted or faced with another witch hunt or more legal shenanigans, he shouldn't go to the polls another 10 points.
01:06:58.000And I think that the more that they persecute him, the more the average American realizes, oh my God, they can get away with doing this to Donald Trump.
01:07:06.000They can get away with doing this to me.
01:07:08.000And I think that we have to really capitalize off of that energy going into 2024 because it's something that Independents, Democrats, people who are not political at all, Republicans can relate to.
01:07:21.000The feeling of what it's like to be targeted.
01:07:25.000What it's like to be victimized by the federal government.
01:07:28.000Everybody knows what it feels like to be trapped in a situation that is unfair.
01:07:33.000And we have to capitalize off of the spirit of retribution and injustice that all Americans are feeling.
01:07:40.000And that is a feeling and an emotion that transcends political lines.
01:07:51.000You know, running around the country trying to change voting laws.
01:07:54.000Something that one of the supervisors of elections said of a fairly prominent state is to me that every single election they end up with five lawsuits like six months before the election from like the League of Women Voters and the Democrats and all that kind of stuff.
01:08:06.000So to exactly what your point is, it is the party's job, it is Robert McDaniel's job and all these different people's job to be filing these lawsuits because we're changing
01:08:13.000And I'll say too, you know, people always say, oh, you know, you're so far up Donald Trump's ass, you know, you never, you never criticize him.
01:09:36.000Well, you have to drive home, right, the understanding that, yeah, the media likes to pit us all against each other, left and right, Democrat, Republican, but at the end of the day, aren't we all fighting the same thing?
01:09:47.000Aren't we all just Americans who are sick and tired of not being represented adequately?
01:09:57.000We all want adequate representation, but it seems like whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, these incumbent politicians are just screwing us over.
01:10:05.000And, you know, they're getting away with insider trading.
01:10:27.000He is the leader of the Republican Party, okay?
01:10:30.000But Donald Trump is so much bigger than the Republican Party.
01:10:34.000And the thing that he did not do his first term, that we absolutely need to make sure happens this second term when he is reinstated as the 47th President of the United States, is we need to capitalize on his energy and his brand to do away with the uniparty structure
01:10:52.000And I am an advocate for, perhaps, a third party.
01:10:55.000A stronger third party that is truly representative of the American people, or a hostile takeover.
01:11:01.000An America First hostile takeover of the Republican Party.
01:11:05.000We need a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.
01:11:20.000So, as fellow alumni of a previous organization, we know the power that a literal camera and a few seconds of footage can get.
01:11:30.000What are some organizations, and or fellow influencers that you know, where a former boss only said that, you know what, not everyone can get in the trenches, but we can donate and support those that are in the trenches.
01:11:41.000Aside from our former bosses and stuff like that, who are some of your favorite people that you would recommend some of us chip in five bucks to a judicial watch or some of those types of guys?
01:12:53.000Yeah, there's a lot of independent content creators now, and the great part about it is you don't have to pay for cable.
01:13:00.000So if you're paying $85 a month for cable, if you were to chip in $5 per month instead of $85 per month, you could select so many content creators to support each month.
01:13:10.000You could support my work with my Substack, lauraleamer.substack.com.
01:13:13.000It's free, but you can sign up for a paid subscription.
01:13:16.000And you get all of your own content, and that way you're able to pick and choose what you want to see online.
01:13:23.000There's a lot of people to support out there and I would just encourage people to explore, you know, see what you like and go online and read substacks and support.
01:13:33.000I don't really like telling people what to do, but I will tell them, you know, just go, just go, believe it or not.
01:13:38.000Just go, just go search it out yourself, right?
01:13:41.000Spend some time to really investigate who these people are.
01:14:38.000I'm not getting picked to be here tonight, which is fine with me because I love Donald Trump dearly and I'm happy to be here to make the case for him.
01:14:45.000But we all can be doing things like this, right?
01:14:57.000If you want to have a future for yourself, your children, your grandchildren, if you want to actually have a country that's... I mean, it's kind of a joke, right, to call ourselves a free country.
01:15:07.000We don't really have freedom in this country anymore, okay?
01:15:10.000We don't have freedom of association, no free and fair elections, no free speech.
01:15:26.000Not physically, but politically speaking, of course.
01:15:32.000You have to push back, and sometimes that requires you to find yourself in uncomfortable situations, and you're not gonna make a lot of friends.
01:15:50.000But I'm here to fight for the American people and to stick with the truth, and that requires us to call out both sides of the aisle, not just the Democrats.
01:15:59.000Because we are not going to be able to surpass the Democrats and take our country back and destroy this illegitimate regime unless we dismantle the corruption and take out the trash in our own party first.
01:17:38.000And then if you're like me and you truly believe that Donald Trump did nothing wrong, you can get your own Donald Trump did nothing wrong t-shirt in the back as well.
01:17:45.000And that goes towards all those smiles that I generate from selling those shirts go towards my pro-Trump activism.
01:17:52.000And I travel all over the country as you've probably seen confronting people, holding rallies, and, you know, doing the best we can with journalism.
01:17:59.000But I want to say thank you for having the courage to invite me on.
01:18:05.000There are a lot of people even within our own party who do not want you to platform.
01:18:27.000That's what I'm happy we can have this conversation through.
01:18:39.000Or for us, we decide to meet Josh Brooks, whoever it is that we're doing that with.
01:18:44.000And then if you're somewhere else in the country, get involved with the Young Republicans Club because a lot of people don't know that you might be in a rural area out in Idaho or something like that, right?
01:19:07.000I do appreciate anyone who's watching.
01:19:09.000Again, please get involved with your young Republicans organizations.
01:19:11.000A lot of them are, you know, all over the country.
