01:02:31.000 I don't know.

01:02:45.000 We're good to go.

01:02:46.000 We're good to go.

01:03:04.000 We're good.

01:03:24.000 We're good to go.

01:03:56.000 It's fine.

01:03:57.000 It's a documentary.

01:04:17.000 I don't know.

01:04:40.000 We're good to go.

01:04:58.000 Hey guys, we're going to get started.

01:05:00.000 We'll be right up in a second.

01:05:01.000 Thank you.

01:05:03.000 What's up, boss?

01:05:27.000 We're going to get started in just a second, but if you can see, we're going to try to keep this area open for you guys to get drinks throughout the event.

01:05:35.000 We know that's always been lame for everybody to have to wait so long to get drinks.

01:05:39.000 So, if you guys come up, it's wrapped up, you can come over to the side and quietly get a drink.

01:05:43.000 We are going to be filming this.

01:05:44.000 It's going to be live on the chat.

01:05:45.000 You can just live on Rumble already.

01:05:47.000 It's live on Rumble and Twitter.

01:05:59.000 So you guys are welcome to come and hang out and grab a drink the entire time.

01:06:04.000 So before we do get started, a couple of announcements.

01:06:07.000 We do have upcoming, the, what?

01:06:11.000 The Young Republicans National Federation is coming up, which is August 17th through 20th.

01:06:20.000 Which is going to be August 17th through the 20th.

01:06:31.000 We've got a great list of speakers already.

01:06:34.000 There's going to be an election for the National Chairman as well.

01:06:40.000 So we do encourage you to get out to Dallas and obviously get out to Dallas.

01:06:47.000 I think that we have, we don't have any other events planned right now.

01:06:51.000 We've got the cracking cruise, our boat cruise.

01:06:54.000 We've got two tickets left.

01:06:55.000 So you guys are welcome if there's an event right now.

01:07:07.000 In case you're wondering why I'm doing all the events over the last couple months, it's because Brittany, our president, has been, she had a baby, she's kind of still on maternity leave, she's only about eight weeks out or something like that.

01:07:18.000 She's also taking the bar exam today, so she won't be here, she won't be a part of this and everything, so if you shoot her a DM and say, hey we missed you,

01:07:29.000 I'm excited for tonight because we have a great guest with a great background.

01:07:33.000 I think that you describe yourself as the most bad woman in the country, right? 0.89

01:08:00.000 Why I'm excited about having Laura here tonight is not just to talk about Trump and DeSantis, obviously we're going to talk about it a lot, but back when you did get banned from everything and you were getting debanked and all of these things, around the same time that Alex Jones was, people didn't say anything, right?

01:08:22.000 So, I'm happy, you know, there's, you might, as you might imagine, we announced this event maybe two months ago or so.

01:08:39.000 There are probably a lot of people out there that think we should be a new platform.

01:08:43.000 So, I've heard of that for the last couple months, but 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

01:08:54.000 We are going to do this kind of podcast style where we just go back and forth.

01:09:24.000 And then I will, uh, we'll be trying to chill.

01:09:27.000 Uh, but only members can ask questions, uh, to us, and then, uh, you know, the goal, like, one of the things, we bring this a little bit controversial, right?

01:09:35.000 You know, we, we endorsed Ron DeSantis last month, or two months ago at this point, which, yeah, you can imagine.

01:09:42.000 And I'm here to change your mind!

01:09:44.000 And Laura's here to change your mind! 0.72

01:09:56.000 There'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.

01:10:02.000 So 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 could absolutely do more than anything here.

01:10:11.000 And, you know, the goal of this is not to be a debate.

01:10:15.000 You know, our audience here are members of the

01:10:30.000 We're good to go.

01:10:51.000 It's a lot.

01:10:53.000 But as far as the group goes, everybody here, this is not a debate between me and you about DeSantis, Trump, but we're going to have a nice conversation, and I'm going to sit up here with her, and we're going to chit-chat, and I hope that by the end of all of this, the Trump team will be upset with me, the DeSantis team will be upset with me, everyone will be upset with me, and I hope we get a good job of automating this thing, because we need to get somewhere where we actually have a good conversation.

01:11:20.000 I actually do want to start this out.

01:11:23.000 We can take a scene.

01:11:25.000 Can you get your mic over here?

01:11:28.000 Be 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.

01:11:39.000 We're live on Rumble, Twitter, livestream, and YouTube.

01:11:52.000 People are not aware of your background.

01:11:54.000 They're not aware of where you started, how you got yourself into politics.

01:11:57.000 So let's just talk a little bit about how you got started in politics, what you were doing.

01:12:01.000 Yeah.

01:12:02.000 So I went to college in Miami.

01:12:05.000 I originally went to school for one semester in Massachusetts at a women's college called Mount Holyoke.

01:12:12.000 And I quickly learned that an all-women's college in Massachusetts was probably like the worst decision I ever made in my life. 1.00

01:12:19.000 I was on fire breathing.

01:12:22.000 Straight woman, right? 1.00

01:12:24.000 So then I transferred.

01:12:26.000 I could have taken after one semester.

01:12:28.000 So I transferred to this school called Barrett University, which is a Catholic school that I was able to get an honor scholarship for.

01:12:36.000 And so I immediately transferred and started living in Miami, Florida, where I was the president of the College Republicans.

01:12:43.000 And really, all throughout my time in college,

01:12:47.000 I 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?

01:12:57.000 Because I ended up doing all the work.

01:13:02.000 Because as you can imagine, it's always an uphill battle when you're trying to push a conservative ideology on your college campus.

01:13:10.000 You know, I was threatened with expulsion for having events, and mind you, I had a 4.0 GPA, right?

01:13:15.000 So they just hated me because of my few points.

01:13:18.000 And ultimately, I ended up starting, I started working for Project Veritas my senior year of college.

01:13:26.000 And I did an investigation on my own university with James O'Keefe.

01:13:31.000 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.

01:13:40.000 And my university was like threatening to kick me out for some made up lie, right?

01:13:45.000 And I thought to myself, wow, you know, they're so discriminatory towards Republicans.

01:13:49.000 Let me come up with some crazy idea to expose my university.

01:13:53.000 So I had this idea of creating an ISIS club to see if the university would be more open to me having a pro-ISIS club as opposed to a pro-ISIS club.

01:14:03.000 So I got a hidden camera and I went to the school administrator and I was like, you know, I just I just feel like we're such a totalitarian country and desperate people do desperate things and so wouldn't it be okay if I started this club called Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria?

01:14:19.000 I'm going to be okay if I send student government funds overseas to ISIS. 0.94

01:14:23.000 And they're like, yeah, no problem.

01:14:24.000 Just change the name to Students in Support of the Middle East so nobody knows you're sending money to ISIS.

01:14:30.000 Real story.

01:14:31.000 It's on YouTube.

01:14:32.000 And we actually replicated the same script at Cornell.

01:14:36.000 And long story short, the video came out and I was expelled from college a month before graduation.

01:14:42.000 I was valedictorian, and I wasn't even allowed to go to my own college graduation, so I 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.

01:15:00.000 So I was embedded in Iowa, New York, Arizona, New Hampshire, and

01:15:06.000 Arizona, Nevada I believe, for a portion of, well really probably throughout the entire 2015-2016 election season.

01:15:15.000 And long story short, I worked with Project Veritas for several years and then I decided I wanted to start my own media company where I started making my rumored conversation videos where I would livestream myself confronting politicians and

01:15:29.000 Ultimately I just became too effective and controversial exposing politicians and I got banned on all social media and like you said I was really one of the canaries in the coal mine and you know we can get into all that but I then decided to run for Congress in 2020 down in Palm Beach and then with the redistricting I ran again in 2022 in the villages and

01:15:51.000 Now that I have my Twitter account back, I'm back to doing a lot of my investigative reporting.

01:15:56.000 But for about six years, I'd say, I was completely erased online, even though I have a very long history of doing undercover journalism.

01:16:07.000 Yeah, that's what I wanted to hear you keep going on.

01:16:11.000 For that, you know, it's one thing to get banned off social media, right?

01:16:15.000 Even people on the right can make arguments that it's a private company.

01:16:26.000 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 PayPal and Stripe and Interbank and all these other places and they get together and it's like, it's just all at once.

01:16:39.000 So can you just talk about, I mean, it is really for people who are, you know, actual ISIS, you know, terrorists in the country, like that's really for people that I thought growing up that would get that kind of treatment.

01:16:50.000 So talk a little bit about what it was like to be made a terrorist.

01:16:54.000 So, 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.

01:17:00.000 And the concept of deplatforming was actually created and developed by the CIA and the intelligence agencies in our country as a way to deal with Islamic terrorism online.

01:17:12.000 And so, in a sense, you could argue that

01:17:16.000 Counterterrorism 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.

01:17:26.000 All 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.

01:17:38.000 And so I wrote the story about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother before she was ever elected

01:17:48.000 I was out in Minnesota doing all this reporting, and when I wrote this story, right, people said, oh, Laura Lieber is just some crazy anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist, right? 0.98

01:17:59.000 She hates Muslims. 0.99

01:18:01.000 Not true.

01:18:02.000 And, you know, as a Jewish conservative woman, I did a lot of work exposing anti-Semitism, but also, too, exposing the

01:18:10.000 The Islamification of our country, right, under the Obama administration, and how that then turned into the Islamification of our institutions, like our federal law enforcement agencies, as well as our Congress.

01:18:24.000 We have Wolfram Tihadis serving in Congress today.

01:18:27.000 And so they banned me for a tweet in which I said, Ilhan Omar is anti-Jewish and pro-Sharia.

01:18:34.000 After that, they essentially used that as the excuse to ban me everywhere.

01:18:38.000 So I was banned on Facebook, Instagram, PayPal, Venmo, GoFundMe, Chase Bank shut me down from my online bank, I'm banned on Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, the list goes on and on.

01:18:48.000 I'm banned on Teespring, I got banned on Clubhouse literally five minutes after I created my account.

01:18:57.000 It's so hard for me sometimes to even remember all the places that I've been banned, and when I ran for Congress,

01:19:03.000 I was the first candidate in United States history that was completely deplatformed on all social media.

01:19:08.000 So here in the state of Florida, right?

01:19:10.000 This is kind of my beat, but broadenest stance, this is where it all got started.

01:19:14.000 You know, I ran as a Republican in 2020 in District 21, which is President Trump's home district, and I actually won my primary.

01:19:21.000 It was to start a seven-way primary with zero social media.

01:19:24.000 And even after I won my primary, I was still not allowed to have Facebook or Twitter.

01:19:29.000 I was the only candidate in the nation that, as an individual in my official campaign,

01:19:34.000 They actually invented new policies on Facebook and Twitter to keep me off.

01:19:38.000 And Ron DeSantis did nothing about this.

01:19:41.000 They refused to address it, even though I was an official candidate on the ballot for the general election.

01:19:47.000 And 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.

01:19:54.000 We're going to make it illegal for companies to censor candidates running for office.

01:19:57.000 Well, at the time, right, I was the only candidate in the state of Florida that this applied to, aside from Donald Trump.

01:20:04.000 Because in 2021, right, he was de-platformed on January 8th, 2021, right, two days after January 6th.

01:20:10.000 And so the only two people this would have really applied to was myself and Donald Trump.

01:20:15.000 So I hire a lobbyist.

01:20:16.000 Okay.

01:20:17.000 I actually raised $40,000 to do this on my own.

01:20:20.000 The 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.

01:20:27.000 And I had to literally get a lobbyist in order to have meetings.

01:20:31.000 We're good to go.

01:20:50.000 Well, not just the bank, but payment processing, or also too, Uber and Lyft.

01:20:55.000 Like 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.

01:21:03.000 The only one.

01:21:04.000 And there's video of it as well.

01:21:05.000 And I said, you know, Uber and Lyft during one of the hurricanes, I forget the name of the one, that was Hurricane Dorian.

01:21:12.000 The one that was supposed to come through Palm Beach County, right?

01:21:14.000 When I was living there, I was like, oh my god.

01:21:16.000 We're good to go.

01:21:32.000 And I'm like, wait, I'm banned.

01:21:34.000 So 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?

01:21:42.000 Think about it.

01:21:43.000 And so these are the issues, right?

01:21:44.000 It's a life or death matter when you think about it.

01:21:46.000 We 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.

01:21:54.000 And 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.

01:22:01.000 For life-saving information, when everybody thought that COVID was like the zombie apocalypse, right?

01:22:06.000 And that we were all going to die before we realized that it was a flu with a 99.7% recovery rate, right?

01:22:12.000 So imagine, imagine if it really was a serious outbreak, something like Ebola, okay?

01:22:18.000 And 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.

01:22:25.000 This is not just an issue of free speech, it's now a civil rights issue.

01:22:29.000 So, I 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.

01:22:40.000 And 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.

01:22:49.000 It's not a free speech issue, it's a civil rights issue.

01:22:52.000 This is a human rights issue.

01:22:55.000 Okay, 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,

01:23:10.000 That's over 2 million people who had their election 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.

01:23:29.000 I'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.

01:23:40.000 Yeah, I think 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, and 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 have it a lot back on Twitter, and so part of

01:24:20.000 Yeah, so he did actually send me a letter today thanking me.

01:24:31.000 Well, just a note, right?

01:24:32.000 Donald Trump doesn't use the computer, believe it or not.

01:24:34.000 Everybody thinks that he's like the most online person ever because he tweets, but Donald Trump doesn't use computers.

01:24:40.000 And so when you have a meeting with President Trump, like I did,

01:24:44.000 It's so funny because he still uses a fax machine, believe it or not.

01:24:48.000 He has his secretary print articles out, and so when you're sitting at his desk, you see it's like a mountain of just papers.

01:24:56.000 And 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?

01:25:05.000 And then they scan it and they send it back to whoever wrote it.

01:25:09.000 So I get these scanned messages from Trump all the time where it's like, oh, great job, love this article, you know, keep up the great work.

01:25:17.000 And so it's really nice that he takes time to do that.

01:25:20.000 But, you know, like you said, I've only been back on Twitter since December, still banned everywhere else, unfortunately.

01:25:27.000 It's been a weird mixed reaction because some people are like, oh wow, I didn't even realize you were still around, you know?

01:25:33.000 Because people tend to forget about you when you are digitally exterminated for like six years, right?

01:25:40.000 Since I've been back, it's been nice in the sense that I've been able to actually utilize my journalistic talents again.

01:25:46.000 They completely destroyed my livelihood because if you're a journalist like I am and you have a degree in this, you have to have social media in order to be an effective journalist in this day and age.

01:25:55.000 Sometimes your job actually depends on it.

01:25:58.000 And so you are either hired or not hired, depending on how much of a following you have.

01:26:03.000 And if any of you are in influencer marketing, and I know some people of you, some of you are, and there are a lot of, you know, big social media influencers here in the state of Florida and Tampa, you know that your livelihood is directly tied to your following.

01:26:16.000 So 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.

01:26:25.000 But there's still people that don't want me online, but like I said, it's just about informing people.

01:26:33.000 And I feel like I'm doing a really big public service, even though a lot of people in Florida are pissed with me for going after Ron DeSantis the way I am, because people need to have integrity.

01:26:43.000 And we voted for Ron DeSantis as governor because we thought that he was going to serve a second four-year term.

01:26:49.000 And I think that it's very disingenuous and it's very deceptive for him to take, right, $200 million in donations from Trump supporters like he did.

01:26:58.000 He broke fundraising records in 2022 when he ran for governor again.

01:27:03.000 And then he held on to $100 million of those donations and now he's weaponized them against Donald Trump.

01:27:08.000 I mean, how many of you donated to Ron DeSantis in 2022?

01:27:12.000 And how many of you voted for Donald Trump?

01:27:14.000 Do you like the fact that your donation money is going to be going towards attack ads on Donald Trump?

01:27:19.000 No.

01:27:20.000 Right, so it's not okay, it's not acceptable, and the fact that he also has weaponized and abused his power to change Florida law, like changing Florida's resign-to-run law, unacceptable.

01:27:30.000 That's the kind of stuff that we would attack the left for.

01:27:33.000 Yeah, one of the things about that rule, you know, I ran for

01:27:43.000 It's not, and this is actually part 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, or county commission, and all these other things.

01:27:54.000 Like, we have a lot of people in the state, and they didn't change the rule, they only changed the rule for president, if you have a governor that wants to run for president, but, you know, if they would have changed the resign to run law, which is a fantastic law, right now we would have a lot of state house reps who would run for congress, then see their congressional race, and then, you know, pin out the way they wanted to, and then go right back into the state house.

01:28:11.000 And it's very, very hard.

01:28:12.000 And this is something I, you know, as somebody who leads young Republicans around the state of Florida, you have to, this keeps us from running.

01:28:18.000 It keeps young people from running because we only run when there's an opening, right?

01:28:22.000 Because we want to run against an incumbent.

01:28:24.000 You know, we can talk about that for a little bit.

01:28:26.000 Like what's it like to run against an incumbent, a Republican party?

01:28:30.000 You know, how does McCarthy treat you?

01:28:32.000 You know, I can talk about my experience about how the GOP treats me here.

01:28:35.000 You know, whether I want to challenge somebody or not, or whether you want to challenge somebody or not.

01:28:41.000 Right.

01:28:44.000 Well, I think it's important for everybody to understand that just like Kevin McCarthy, right, controls all the congressional races, whether or not you want to believe that, it is true, right?

01:28:54.000 He controls the flow of money from the NRCC, okay, into these races. 0.74

01:28:59.000 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 challenging an incumbent like I did.

01:29:09.000 And in your case, right, you ran for, what, Florida House?

01:29:12.000 Yeah.

01:29:13.000 And so Ron DeSantis controls the Florida GOP.

01:29:17.000 People think, oh, it's Christian Ziegler, the chairman, or, oh, it's Evan Power.

01:29:20.000 No, the Florida GOP is still controlled by Governor Ron DeSantis, right?

01:29:24.000 They try to pretend like, oh, he moved out of our office, even though we had 24 of his staffers on our payroll up until the time that he filed to run for president.

01:29:32.000 He still controls it.

01:29:33.000 And so as you mentioned... Do you think that, like, do you think that the, uh,

01:29:38.000 How popular Ron DeSantis became in the state of Florida changed the dynamic between the governor's office and the Senate and everything?

01:29:45.000 It's not how popular he is, it's the fact that he acts like a dictator.

01:29:48.000 He literally threatened the legislature and it's on record.

01:29:52.000 You 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.

01:30:06.000 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.

01:30:13.000 There were articles written about and even confirmed by legislators.

01:30:16.000 Look what they did to Joe Gruters.

01:30:18.000 Joe Gruters was the only Republican representative in the state of Florida who endorsed Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis retaliated.

01:30:25.000 How did he retaliate?

01:30:26.000 Well, he represents Sarasota.

01:30:28.000 Joe Gerdes does.

01:30:29.000 And so Ron DeSantis vetoed over $30 million of funds that were supposed to go towards projects to help improve the quality of life for residents of Sarasota as a form of retaliation against Joe Gerdes.

01:30:45.000 And Joe Gerdes isn't the one that's going to be suffering.

01:30:47.000 It's the people of Sarasota.

01:30:49.000 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.

01:31:00.000 Well, one thing I'll say to that, you know, we had Mike Beltran here last month, and we had, I want to say, 10 state reps or something like that that did not endorse Ron DeSantis or so.

01:31:11.000 So it was

01:31:12.000 The vast majority of them, but it wasn't.

01:31:14.000 Not quite all of them.

01:31:16.000 Well, he was the only one that came out vocally in support of Donald Trump the way he did, and then he was punished.

01:31:22.000 But I guess my question was, in the past, when we had Jeb Bush and we had Rick Scott and some of these other governors, we had Senate presidents who maybe could push back on them, or maybe they didn't feel that the governor was popular enough that he could over...

01:31:36.000 Well, it's bribery is what it is, so I actually just did a story about this, and 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,

01:32:00.000 A lot of people don't want to talk about this because another thing that Ron DeSantis does is he threatens reporters.

01:32:05.000 And this has been documented as well, where if you are a reporter and you push back on Ron DeSantis in 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.

01:32:18.000 There's tons of reporters.

01:32:19.000 They got reporters fired for reporting on his presidential campaign.

01:32:24.000 When Ron DeSantis had this 100 million dollars left over, okay, they changed the name of his PAC.

01:32:30.000 It was called Friends of Ron DeSantis.

01:32:31.000 It was a state entity.

01:32:32.000 And 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.

01:32:41.000 And he quietly had Cord Bird change the Florida election handbook

01:32:46.000 With regards to how you're allowed to transfer funds between state entities like state PACs and federal PACs.

01:32:53.000 And so what Ron DeSantis did is he deceptively had the name of his PAC, Friends of Ron DeSantis, changed to the Empower Parents PAC.

01:33:00.000 And then Blazin' Govlia, who's a state senator, okay, in the state of Florida, was listed as the chairman of the PAC.

01:33:07.000 Then 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.

01:33:24.000 And guess who operates the new PAC called Empower Parents Florida?

01:33:27.000 You see the same exact name except with Florida at the end to try to confuse people about the flow of money.

01:33:32.000 Paul Renner, the Florida Speaker of the House.

01:33:34.000 And so when you say, oh, do you think that

01:33:37.000 You know, Ron DeSantis, it's just his strong leadership that gets the Senate President and the Florida Speaker of the House on board with him.

01:33:44.000 No, it's bribery.

01:33:44.000 If somebody comes to you and says, hey, you want a million dollars?

01:33:47.000 Just make sure that the law's changed, right?

01:33:49.000 So I think that there's a lot of bribery involved here.

01:33:53.000 Ron DeSantis also appointed, what's her name, Pasadena, he appointed her daughter to the Utility Commission.

01:34:04.000 Okay, so hey, I'll give your daughter a position on the Utility Commission, just do as I say. 1.00

01:34:09.000 And a lot of people don't know this, right?

01:34:11.000 They don't know all the wheeling and dealing that's taking place in the Florida legislature because, let's be honest, right?

01:34:17.000 For some people, state politics just isn't as sexy as all the national political drama.

01:34:22.000 So you have all this bribery and corruption that's happening here and I'm calling it out and I get called a hater when I'm just trying to inform you of an abuse of power that's taking place right under your noses.

01:34:33.000 Yeah, that's fine. 0.97

01:34:49.000 Well, they're liars, and I have the evidence. 0.94

01:34:59.000 I'll tell you why they're liars right now. 0.84

01:35:00.000 So, that's exactly what Blazin' Gogolio said.

01:35:03.000 He goes, oh, we're gonna transfer the $82.5 million that's left over, okay, in the PAC.

01:35:09.000 They changed the name to Empower Parents PAC.

01:35:11.000 The Ron DeSantis, Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC.

01:35:15.000 That was $82.5 million that was raised from Trump supporters for the sake of getting Rod DeSantis re-elected.

01:35:20.000 They quietly have the Florida law changed so that you can transfer it to a federal entity, and then Blazing Goglia, okay, props up this fake website for the Empower Parents PAC.

01:35:31.000 And they say, oh, we're going to help spread a message of parental rights, and we're going to help school board racism, yada, yada, yada, yada.

01:35:39.000 They literally transferred the $82.5 million to the Never Back Down Super PAC, and then they sent a letter the next day to the Florida Division of Elections asking them to shutter the PAC. 0.51

01:35:51.000 So how shitty is that?

01:35:53.000 Like, oh yeah, let's make it seem like we're going to protect parents and support parents

01:35:58.000 And 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 is such a great guy.

01:36:10.000 He just gave $82.5 million to support parents' rights.

01:36:14.000 That's fraud.

01:36:14.000 That is political and financial fraud.

01:36:18.000 So, you know, I,

01:36:25.000 What do you think about that?

01:36:26.000 Don't you think that's shady?

01:36:28.000 They ended the PAC.

01:36:29.000 It's not even in existence anymore.

01:36:31.000 It's a non-existent PAC.

01:36:32.000 I guess my opinion personally over this kind of stuff is that, like, I see money moving from PAC to PAC to PAC in all these different places, and every candidate does it.

01:36:41.000 I think that they, and it's not a good thing, right?

01:36:43.000 I think that we've had bills here in Florida that have tried to stop it from happening, but they don't get passed, right?

01:36:49.000 Because this is, but this is politics, right?

01:36:51.000 Like, you see it, I see it when somebody wants to run again.

01:36:56.000 Yeah, but he lied.

01:36:57.000 A big part of his platform is that he's some savior for parents, right?

01:37:01.000 And that's his whole shtick, like, oh, look at me, you know?

01:37:04.000 I'm like Glenn Youngkin, I'm here to be the savior for your children.

01:37:07.000 And then he says, okay, I'm going to give you guys $82.5 million because I'm so generous, and this money's going to go towards bolstering the parental rights movement.

01:37:15.000 We're good to go.

01:37:35.000 Through a joint fundraising effort through the PAC, the Never Back Down PAC, and the Ron DeSantis for President campaign.

01:37:40.000 So they said, oh, DeSantis raised $20 million for his campaign.

01:37:44.000 Oh, he raised so much more money than Trump because the PAC raised $130 million.

01:37:48.000 Well, you didn't really raise $130 million on the PAC if you transferred $82.5 million from your gubernatorial PAC that was money.

01:37:56.000 Trump supporters trusted that you were going to use that money to further your agenda as governor, not to stab the man in the back who you owe your

01:38:05.000 I think that, um, when it comes to

01:38:18.000 But it's also corruption, it's not, maybe just take Trump out of it for a second, right?

01:38:45.000 But it's not though.

01:38:46.000 They already transferred all of it.

01:38:47.000 They transferred it.

01:38:48.000 They already transferred the money.

01:38:49.000 They can't earmark it now.

01:38:50.000 It's already been transferred.

01:38:51.000 What do you mean?

01:38:52.000 What do you mean?

01:39:17.000 What I'm trying to say is that there's no hypotheticals.

01:39:21.000 Listen, I'm not trying to be combative.

01:39:23.000 I'm just saying there's no hypotheticals, right?

01:39:26.000 Because it's not like, oh, well, what if they decide to use the money?

01:39:30.000 They ended the PAC.

01:39:31.000 That's what I'm trying to say.

01:39:33.000 The money is no longer in this Empower Parents PAC because they dissolved the entity.

01:39:38.000 There's no such thing as the Empower Parents PAC anymore.

01:39:41.000 We're good to go.

01:39:58.000 And so we can talk about, well, what if he sends money?

01:40:00.000 What if he does this?

01:40:01.000 They've already blown through millions of dollars, and all of the money has been earmarked for the Never Back Down Super PAC, which is now bankrolling in violation of election laws, the Ron DeSantis for President campaign, because he's not fiscally conservative, and he has blown through over 69% of his first quarter fundraising funds.

01:40:22.000 So I would love to sit here and pontificate about, well, what if they decide to get involved in races and help out

01:40:27.000 I don't know.

01:40:44.000 Having this red wave that's catapulted by the parental rights movement, but it's all fraudulent.

01:40:50.000 And 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.

01:40:58.000 It was a front.

01:41:00.000 It was a front to protect Ron DeSantis' name.

01:41:02.000 I think that, um, I know that, um, you know, obviously you do this, you do this every day, right?

01:41:07.000 And you are digging in probably more than anybody else in the country on some of like the reports and the FEC reports and all this other kind of stuff.

01:41:14.000 Um, you know, I don't want to, I know we've got a big audience here and I don't know how, you know, directly involved they are in this kind of get to the weeds on Twitter every day.

01:41:20.000 And so, can we talk, I know this is, this is partially like as a surrogate to Donald Trump's campaign, right?

01:41:26.000 Unless Donald Trump wants to come to one of our events, if he's watching, you're welcome to come out to one of our events.

01:41:33.000 We'll host the whole gala for you if you want to come out.

01:41:36.000 Same with DeSantis, too.

01:41:37.000 We'll host the whole gala.

01:41:39.000 You gotta change your endorsement, though.

01:41:41.000 We'll do a whole gala.

01:41:45.000 What about this?

01:41:45.000 Would you change it, though?

01:41:47.000 One of the things I wanted to ask you, though, is to talk a little bit more about... No, I wanted you to talk a little bit more broadly about some of the appeal to Donald Trump.

01:41:54.000 You were over DeSantis more than some of the nuances of some

01:41:59.000 Yeah, well, and that's why I think, you know, that's why I was going to ask you when I tried grabbing the microphone.

01:42:04.000 I was going to say, perhaps... We've got to share a microphone.

01:42:08.000 I know, I know, we've got to share.

01:42:09.000 Listen, all 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,

01:42:17.000 I mean, how many people or members of your club would be open to redoing the poll?

01:42:21.000 Because I think a lot of people were duped into thinking that Ron DeSantis was somebody that he isn't.

01:42:25.000 And 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.

01:42:32.000 That's a really big applause!

01:42:36.000 That's a really loud applause!

01:42:37.000 We've, uh, we've had to do something within our board.

01:42:40.000 We've talked about doing, uh, straw polls, like, along the way, because, uh, you know, things do change, obviously.

01:42:46.000 I defend the decision that we made to do it at the very beginning of this election with everybody 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.

01:43:01.000 Yeah, I mean, you guys, if you want to get attention, Tampa Bay Young Republicans rescinds endorsements of Governor Ron DeSantis!

01:43:13.000 I think it would make national headlines.

01:43:15.000 Yeah, that's the goal here.

01:43:17.000 We're assuming it would make national headlines.

01:43:18.000 So, like I said, what I do want to keep going on about is, again, I want to continue to talk broadly.

01:43:24.000 What is the argument for Trump over DeSantis beyond just some of the things we've gotten to so far?

01:43:30.000 Well, I think that, uh, you know, look, President Donald Trump, okay, he had four years of proven, effective policymaking.

01:43:38.000 And the fact of the matter is, is we can go through policies all night long, but I think that integrity matters.

01:43:44.000 And I think that, uh, Donald Trump's, uh, you know, phrase, his catchphrase of promises made, promises kept is important.

01:43:51.000 And Ron DeSantis promised to be governor for another four years.

01:43:54.000 Okay, it was 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.

01:44:07.000 He's never even here anymore, okay?

01:44:09.000 And so, we're coming up on hurricane season.

01:44:12.000 I know here in Tampa you have the highest inflation in the state of Florida.

01:44:15.000 Tampa has the highest inflation of any city in the state of Florida, and it's the highest inflation out of any city in the entire country.

01:44:23.000 So, 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 ready for primetime, why he is not

01:44:45.000 I'm happy to answer questions about Donald Trump's policies all night long, but the fact of the matter is, is majority of Americans in this country

01:45:01.000 Across party lines believe that the 2020 election was stolen or somehow fraudulent over 70% of Americans And so given that we now know that the election was fraudulent.

01:45:11.000 Okay, we've seen the whistleblower testimony We've seen congressional testimony from the big tech executives that show that the FBI had weekly briefings leading up to the 2020 election and

01:45:23.000 To censor information that otherwise polling indicates would have completely changed the results of the 2020 election, Donald Trump is entitled to the second term that was stolen from him.

01:45:36.000 He is!

01:45:38.000 Because if we are a country, if 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, then we are a failed country. 0.80

01:45:58.000 We are a failed country.

01:45:59.000 And I would say today that the American empire has collapsed.

01:46:04.000 So 2024 is our last chance to prove the world whether or not Americans truly have a backbone, whether or not this great experiment is worth even preserving any longer. 0.57

01:46:14.000 Because 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.

01:46:30.000 We're good to go.

01:46:48.000 The last one. 0.98

01:46:49.000 Yeah, we both got screwed. 0.99

01:46:51.000 We both got screwed on mail-ins. 0.51

01:46:53.000 And so one of the things that I'll, I'll, I'll post you because actually I haven't really heard too many people talk about this.

01:46:58.000 You know, there's still, I have an entire thing called Voting Trust.

01:47:01.000 It's a 501c4.

01:47:01.000 We're trying to change the laws all over the country to get rid of all of the crazy COVID laws that still exist around here.

01:47:07.000 About a third of the country has fixed them, but about maybe half the country has not.

01:47:11.000 So I have very little faith that we're not going to see almost the exact same thing.

01:47:16.000 In a lot of these states that are the swing states and everything.

01:47:19.000 But we don't get anything changed like legally and in dollars without harvesting and all the sort of things we can talk about.

01:47:24.000 But one of the things I think is interesting during this primary that we've almost like reverted to saying like, oh, they're going to take the election in 2024.

01:47:30.000 But then we've got the entire primary, right?

01:47:33.000 So I'm curious to get your thoughts on, you know, if we're talking about elections being stolen or any of that kind of stuff for 2024 and the general towards Biden, like what's your thoughts on a primary?

01:47:44.000 Yeah, well, they are trying to steal the primary election nomination from Donald Trump, the Florida GOP specifically.

01:47:50.000 And as I've exclusively, I broke this story actually, Evan Power, who is the vice chair of the Florida GOP, did you know that he is married?

01:47:59.000 To Melissa Power, who is the CFO, the Chief Financial Officer of the Ron DeSantis for President campaign.

01:48:05.000 I mean, talk about a conflict of interest, okay?

01:48:08.000 And then on top of that, the Republican Party of Florida just changed their rules to make it so that if you don't sign a loyalty oath, you can't even be on the ballot in the state of Florida.

01:48:17.000 So, that's election interference!

01:48:18.000 That's a way that they're trying to steal the nomination from Donald Trump, is through last-minute rule changes and procedural gimmicks.

01:48:25.000 You saw this in California.

01:48:27.000 I don't know if any of you saw my expose.

01:48:29.000 Two weeks ago on the California GOP, they were literally trying to have a secret meeting, okay, to change California's winner-take-all delegation process for 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... I got a piece of hair on my mouth or something, weird.

01:48:55.000 Even if you won the California GOP primary,

01:48:59.000 There's 169 delegates in California, which is the most delegates out of any state in the country, right?

01:49:04.000 So California, believe it or not, plays a really big role in deciding who the GOP nominee is on the floor of the convention, right?

01:49:11.000 When the RNC has their convention.

01:49:13.000 And 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?

01:49:22.000 We're looking at national poll trends right now.

01:49:26.000 Nearly 50 to 60 of the delegates.

01:49:28.000 And that's a way, okay, to compromise for the fact that Ron DeSantis, they know, is not going to be able to win states like Iowa.

01:49:36.000 He's not going to be able to win states like New Hampshire.

01:49:38.000 And so, just like we saw the strategy in 2016 at the convention, right, where Ken Cuccinelli and all these Never Trumpers and Ted Cruzers tried to have a brokered convention where they had a delegate heist on the floor of the convention.

01:49:51.000 It's the same people!

01:49:52.000 Why do you think Ron DeSantis hired

01:49:55.000 We're good to go.

01:50:12.000 Donald Trump is like 40 points ahead of you, and you're just crashing every single day.

01:50:17.000 What's your plan?

01:50:18.000 And we figured it out.

01:50:19.000 It's these last-minute rule changes and procedural gimmicks.

01:50:22.000 If Donald Trump is not able to be on the ballot in Florida, he can kiss the GOP nomination goodbye.

01:50:27.000 So we need to hold the Florida GOP accountable, because they're literally trying to rig this election.

01:50:32.000 That's something that, you know, I know you and Evan Power have gone back and forth about this on Twitter, and Christian Ziegler and these guys. 0.99

01:50:38.000 Because he's a liar. 1.00

01:50:39.000 They're dishonest. 0.98

01:50:42.000 I mean, you have to admit, it's a conflict of interest.

01:50:45.000 How do you... Let me just ask you, though, really quick.

01:50:47.000 How do you... No, but listen!

01:50:51.000 I'm tired of people saying that I'm a bad person and that I'm crazy for pointing out common sense, okay?

01:50:56.000 So...

01:50:57.000 If you were on jury selection, okay?

01:51:01.000 If you were to have a trial, you go through jury selection.

01:51:01.000 Think about it.

01:51:05.000 And if you have a conflict of interest, right, you can't be on the jury.

01:51:08.000 So what makes Evan Power think that he can be a neutral participant in overseeing the Florida GOP primary when his wife is literally getting paid by the Ron DeSantis for President campaign?

01:51:18.000 I mean, is that unreasonable?

01:51:24.000 You know, if I join the REC, which I'm part of the REC here, I have to take the loyalty to the Republican Party, and then the argument is that you don't want to get somebody on the stage in the debate when we have the Sunshine State Summit, and they use that platform to run as an independent.

01:51:37.000 Yes, we do want that.

01:51:38.000 We do want that.

01:51:39.000 I think, well, maybe you and I disagree on that.

01:51:41.000 We do.

01:51:42.000 Punching right is good for our party, because it's not the Democrats that are the problem in this country.

01:51:46.000 It's feckless rhinos, okay, who have subverted the Republican Party. 1.00

01:51:54.000 Infighting is good for the Republican Party. 0.77

01:51:57.000 Punching right is good for the Republican Party.

01:51:59.000 Because 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, yo, you complain about the Uniparty, guess what? 1.00

01:52:12.000 You get what you vote for.

01:52:13.000 And if you're not willing to shake things up and have a little controversy, then, you know, you only have yourself to blame.

01:52:19.000 And so I think that loyalty oath, taking an oath to a party,

01:52:23.000 I 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.

01:52:33.000 No, I'm not voting for anybody who I don't support.

01:52:36.000 I am only supporting Donald Trump and I'm proudly an only Trumper voter.

01:52:40.000 And I have publicly said... I have publicly said...

01:52:47.000 That I will campaign against Ron DeSantis if he is the nominee.

01:52:51.000 Because 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.

01:53:06.000 I will vote for whoever I want to vote for, and all of you should vote for whoever you want to vote for.

01:53:13.000 Loyalty oaths and the Reagan rule, this 11th commandment of never speak ill of another Republican needs to be put in the shredder on full speed.

01:53:29.000 It's my favorite hobby.

01:53:31.000 It's my favorite hobby.

01:53:34.000 It is.

01:53:35.000 I would be a gold medalist if punching right was an Olympic sport.

01:53:39.000 I would.

01:53:40.000 I do think it's good to have these conversations within the primary and do all that kind of stuff.

01:53:44.000 I do think that when it comes to loyalties 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, and I know that you feel a certain way about Ron DeSantis, but ultimately when this primary is over, I think this is where you and I will disagree I think the most, is that

01:53:59.000 We 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 in the Communist regime they've talked about.

01:54:21.000 But that's exactly what we're going to have.

01:54:23.000 Because if we allow for them to deprive Donald Trump of the nomination, we are then signing off our seal of approval for a rigged election.

01:54:32.000 So I am not going to vote in the 2024 general election unless Donald Trump is the nominee.

01:54:37.000 And that might seem like an extreme standpoint to have, but I just cannot.

01:54:46.000 It's just a matter of principle for me.

01:54:48.000 I cannot allow for a stolen election

01:54:51.000 To be forgotten, right?

01:54:55.000 To be forgotten.

01:54:56.000 Because if we allow them to get away with what they did to Donald Trump, they are going to do it to all of us.

01:55:02.000 And 2024, above anything else, is about retribution, okay?

01:55:06.000 It is about reclaiming what was taken from us.

01:55:09.000 And it is about restoring our power structure as we the people in the United States of America.

01:55:15.000 And as Donald Trump says, the only thing standing between us and them is Donald Trump.

01:55:21.000 It's Donald Trump!

01:55:22.000 So, honestly?

01:55:25.000 I view every single GOP candidate who's running against Donald Trump as a Democrat.

01:55:29.000 Because 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 and a banana republic, then you're a Democrat.

01:55:44.000 Because when Ron DeSantis talks about

01:55:46.000 Oh, we're gonna go after the weaponization of government, but his entire political strategy for winning the 2024 GOP nomination is, oh, Donald Trump's gonna be indicted and go to jail, and then the pathway's gonna be cleared. 0.99

01:56:00.000 That's a coward! 0.99

01:56:01.000 That is what you call a coward. 0.99

01:56:03.000 I'm just really passionate about this because I just love Donald Trump so much.

01:56:07.000 I just, I just feel it's not just about Donald Trump, it's about all of us and maybe it's because I have been targeted the same way that Donald Trump has and literally like the same judges who went after Donald Trump have gone after me politically.

01:56:21.000 I just feel

01:56:22.000 Like, it's a personal attack on me, you know?

01:56:25.000 Like, 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?

01:56:40.000 It's just such a slap in the face, and I don't know, I just feel so passionate about it, because so many people feel hopeless.

01:56:48.000 And Donald Trump gives me hope.

01:56:50.000 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.

01:56:59.000 And I really do... I know it sounds overdramatic, but I think 2024 is it.

01:57:03.000 I think we really are a failed empire if Donald Trump doesn't get back in.

01:57:06.000 And even then, he's only gonna be able to buy us a little bit more time because our society has a cancer, okay?

01:57:14.000 It's like necrosis.

01:57:16.000 And we are rotting from within.

01:57:18.000 We have societal decay, okay?

01:57:21.000 And it has permeated and infiltrated every single institution in our country, especially our elections.

01:57:28.000 And, you know, if we're not going to have much more time left in this country, then I want to enjoy it with somebody like Donald Trump as our leader for the time that we have.

01:57:41.000 I don't know.

01:57:50.000 Absolutely.

01:57:51.000 And that's why it's so egregious.

01:57:53.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:58:20.000 Do you follow Tori on Twitter or her blogger?

01:58:24.000 Tori?

01:58:25.000 Do you know Tori?

01:58:27.000 Yeah, she talks about all this stuff.

01:58:30.000 She's my partner who I just know all the time.

01:58:33.000 That's kind of just like you, so I thought you might know her.

01:58:36.000 Yeah, I know Tori.

01:58:37.000 Yeah, so I just wanted to know if you know her.

01:58:40.000 I've known her for several years.

01:58:41.000 She speaks the truth and she was blocked for so many platforms for a long time.

01:58:46.000 Do we have a question back there, Lynn?

01:58:49.000 Yeah.

01:58:49.000 Did you ever try writing under a ghostwriter as a name?

01:59:15.000 Did I ever try writing under a ghost name?

01:59:17.000 So, you know, on social media?

01:59:21.000 No, so it was kind of tricky for me because, you know, I'm involved in litigation, so I have an active RICO case right now against Twitter and Facebook, and I had a case against Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Apple that actually went all the way to the Supreme Court, and so during that time, of course, I wasn't able to have any fake accounts, and not that I ever had any fake accounts, but

01:59:42.000 You know, the cancel culture environment is very 0.52

01:59:47.000 Prevalent, I guess you could say, in the right-wing movement.

01:59:50.000 And even 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.

02:00:03.000 So it was very difficult because I really wasn't able.

02:00:05.000 And Ed's laughing in the back because he knows.

02:00:07.000 I've known Ed for years and he's helping me out, part of my production team.

02:00:13.000 You know, people that you would think, or people that preach every single day about, oh, I'm so against cancel culture, right?

02:00:18.000 They're scared.

02:00:19.000 They're scared of the mob coming from them.

02:00:21.000 And that's the problem, right, is you have so many people in conning, because I like to say that, talk about how they're so anti-cancel culture, but I would say that I think I've been canceled more by the right than the left.

02:00:32.000 Sure, the left, like, they banned me on social media, but Republicans didn't even speak up for me when I ran for Congress and I was an official America First candidate on the ballot.

02:00:41.000 They didn't even fight for me.

02:00:43.000 The 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 thank them and see how they could support them except for me.

02:00:56.000 Do you wonder if your songlines are perhaps misconstrued?

02:01:01.000 Well, I think that they lied about me, right, when they said that I was some anti-Muslim, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, right? 0.70

02:01:07.000 That didn't help. 0.90

02:01:08.000 It doesn't help that my Wikipedia page reads worse than most serial killers.

02:01:12.000 I mean, really, there are serial killers who have... There are serial killers with fan clubs.

02:01:18.000 Like, at least serial killers get nice fan mail, you know?

02:01:21.000 They get nice fan mail in jail.

02:01:23.000 People just write... Some, but...

02:01:25.000 You know, like, they have, they have fan clubs that come and protest for them.

02:01:29.000 And yes, some people have, you know, written me nice fan mail and all, but it would have been nice to have some, some, uh, diehard stans when I was running for Congress who would have, you know, protested.

02:01:38.000 And there were some people, like I said, there were tons of volunteers who, of course, stood up for me and voters and expressed support, but I can't really think of many people in the actual official Republican Party apparatus.

02:01:49.000 And there are misconceptions about me because they believe lies.

02:01:52.000 They think I'm a Nazi, even though I'm Jewish.

02:01:54.000 They think I'm anti-Muslim.

02:01:55.000 Look, being against Sharia and calling for equal human rights and being against the Islamification of our country doesn't make me a Muslim hater.

02:02:04.000 I don't hate Muslims.

02:02:05.000 I am against Islam because I think that Islam is incompatible with Western civilization and tenets within Islam, okay? 1.00

02:02:13.000 I'm glad we're doing this on Rumble because we would have

02:02:42.000 Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, it's just one of those things and I ran for Congress for that reason because, you 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.

02:03:01.000 Regardless of what they think about me, it's not about me.

02:03:04.000 It's about allowing for the voters of Florida to have their fair decision, right?

02:03:08.000 To have their fair choice.

02:03:11.000 That's why I now find myself working more against the Republican Party than the Democrats because they're subversive.

02:03:17.000 They're subversive to our America First Freedom Agenda.

02:03:21.000 I think, do we have a question over here?

02:03:26.000 Hunter, Polk County Young Republicans.

02:03:28.000 I've got a question for you.

02:03:31.000 You know, we talk about punch right and how it can be beneficial but it also can be divisive.

02:03:37.000 So when you're saying that anybody who is running against Trump

02:03:41.000 Yeah.

02:03:41.000 Well, yeah.

02:03:41.000 Yeah.

02:04:14.000 Yeah, look, what I'm saying is that it's not that they're Democrats simply for running against Trump.

02:04:19.000 What 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 they're going to simultaneously run against him, then they're no better than Democrats.

02:04:28.000 And I've been very vocal

02:04:30.000 In my admiration for Vivek, I actually interviewed him at the courthouse in front of the Miami courthouse where I organized the rally in support of President Trump.

02:04:38.000 And I said, you know, this is my problem with Ron DeSantis.

02:04:41.000 And even Vivek said it too.

02:04:43.000 I 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.

02:04:49.000 And I don't have a problem.

02:04:50.000 If people want to run against Donald Trump, it's a free country.

02:04:52.000 You can run in any election, but it's a problem, right?

02:04:55.000 Ron DeSantis has issues because

02:04:57.000 He's running against the man he owes his entire political career to, and he's so... His animosity, or maybe his thirst, right?

02:05:07.000 His thirst and his desire for political power supersedes his desire for justice and equal application of the law.

02:05:15.000 And so with Vivek, you have a guy who's ambitious, okay?

02:05:19.000 He's almost a billionaire from my understanding.

02:05:21.000 He's certainly got enough money to self-finance his campaign, but he has enough political integrity and he's put principle over politics, right?

02:05:28.000 So he knows that, yeah, 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.

02:05:37.000 So if you're not going to do that, then yeah, you're like a Democrat.

02:05:40.000 That's all I'm trying to say is that maybe I should have clarified it better, is if you're not going to speak out against the weaponization of government and simultaneously run, then you're no better than the Democrats.

02:05:51.000 But everybody has a right to run, you know, and I like the Beck.

02:05:53.000 I've interviewed him.

02:06:09.000 No, I think it's valid to point out his Big Pharma... Like, I don't... I'm not saying I vouch for all of his policies and his background in Big Pharma.

02:06:17.000 What I'm saying, though, is that out of all the candidates who are running against Donald Trump, he's really the only one that had the balls to stand in front of the courthouse in front of a predominantly pro-Trump audience.

02:06:27.000 I think that's exactly what everybody should have been doing. 0.54

02:06:29.000 Exactly.

02:06:30.000 I'm going to keep moving over here, Danielle. 0.98

02:06:32.000 Do you have a question for us?

02:06:38.000 So I just want to address your beef with Casey, or as you call her, Josephine.

02:06:46.000 Her real name.

02:06:47.000 That's her real name, by the way.

02:06:49.000 Back in May, you had stated that she, quote, claims she had cancer, but you've never seen the medical records.

02:06:56.000 And I know you followed it up by saying that you never said she faked it, that you just think it was grossly overstated.

02:07:02.000 But by saying that she claims it, you kind of are alleging that

02:07:06.000 You think she faked it?

02:07:07.000 So I was just wondering what your thoughts are on that.

02:07:10.000 Yeah!

02:07:11.000 So, uh, first of all, I stand by everything that I said, and I don't apologize for any comments that I made.

02:07:19.000 I don't care who it offends.

02:07:20.000 I call her Jill because her maiden name is Jill Black.

02:07:23.000 It's Jill Casey Black, and I'm gonna call her by her real name, Jill DeSantis.

02:07:27.000 And, uh, maybe she just doesn't like the fact that she shares the same name as Joe Biden's wife.

02:07:31.000 I don't know.

02:07:32.000 But, uh, the fact of the matter is, is technically everything I said is true.

02:07:36.000 It's a claim.

02:07:37.000 When you make a statement, it's a claim.

02:07:39.000 And I have not seen her medical records, and so I don't really know if it was stage 4 cancer or not.

02:07:44.000 I'm not saying that she faked her cancer, but I do find it to be rather distasteful to run political ads in an attempt to, what I say is an attempt to get sympathy votes.

02:07:55.000 I know I received a lot of heat for this.

02:07:56.000 I'm not going to apologize for what I said.

02:07:58.000 If people want to be offended with me, that's their problem, not mine.

02:08:01.000 But the fact of the matter is, is your medical diagnosis should be between you and your doctor.

02:08:06.000 And I don't really, if she doesn't currently have cancer, I don't understand why it needs to be brought up on the campaign trail unless it's like, 0.51

02:08:14.000 I don't think so.

02:08:30.000 I'm not saying that, like, look, she seems to be fine now, right?

02:08:32.000 She doesn't have cancer anymore.

02:08:34.000 But if it's that big of an issue, then maybe he should have, you know, weighed his priorities.

02:08:38.000 He ran for governor, even though he always knew that he wasn't going to run or keep his second term.

02:08:42.000 He wanted to be president.

02:08:43.000 So why didn't Ron DeSantis stay home and take care of his wife who had cancer and not run for governor?

02:08:49.000 It's not like he really wanted to do the job anyway.

02:08:51.000 I mean, let's be honest.

02:08:52.000 We have an absentee governor, right?

02:08:53.000 So he could have run for president and taken care of his wife. 0.66

02:08:57.000 But, um, I don't know, I just think it's distasteful and gross to, you know, try to use your cancer.

02:09:07.000 So very face takes tonight, that's for sure.

02:09:09.000 My question to you is just, you said that most or a lot of your censorship comes from people on the right, right?

02:09:14.000 Obviously we've seen people like TPUSA leaders, and platform conservatives like you, other conservatives too, like American First leaders and whatnot.

02:09:21.000 My question is to you, is who do we trust?

02:09:24.000 And how do we gatekeep and prevent these people from taking over our institutions so that we're not having these conversations here today?

02:09:30.000 Yeah, well, that's a really good question.

02:09:36.000 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?

02:09:44.000 Not everybody would classify themselves as the same type of conservative, right?

02:09:49.000 So I would say that I'm more

02:09:50.000 I just encourage people to really seek out their own information and to try to meet people themselves and see all viewpoints before they just regurgitate things that are force-fed to them on Fox News.

02:10:00.000 You definitely can't trust Fox News.

02:10:18.000 You definitely can't trust any of the mainstream media.

02:10:21.000 I, I like, I like alternative media.

02:10:23.000 I'm a journalist.

02:10:24.000 I do my, yeah.

02:10:26.000 I do my own research, but there's a lot of alternative media platforms now that are popping up as a result of this anti-censorship movement.

02:10:36.000 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.

02:10:49.000 Coming out tonight and listening to talks for yourself or, you know, digging into reports, learn some investigative skills, right?

02:10:55.000 It could be a hobby.

02:10:56.000 You could also learn how to read these FEC reports or, you know, do some investigative work on the side yourself, because even though the Republican Party sometimes tells you things, doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

02:11:07.000 For example, the Republicans recently said, oh, we defunded the 87,000 IRS agents, right?

02:11:13.000 And 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.

02:11:21.000 But it's not true.

02:11:22.000 They didn't defund the 87,000 IRS agents, right?

02:11:25.000 They didn't.

02:11:25.000 Just like so much of what they say isn't true.

02:11:28.000 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.

02:11:36.000 We are really living in an information war, as Alex Jones would say, and it's up to all of us to resist the Uniparty. 0.89

02:11:47.000 Yeah, if your listeners that are online don't know, the last endorsement that we did before this one was just anybody but McCarthy and anybody but McConnell as well.

02:11:57.000 Something we can agree on.

02:11:58.000 So we did try our hardest.

02:12:00.000 I didn't really mean anything during the arguments over there.

02:12:03.000 We have two more questions over here and then this way.

02:12:08.000 So I would say for most of us who are either split, short, or defensive, I don't think it's because we don't like either of them.

02:12:15.000 Right.

02:12:16.000 Great question.

02:12:17.000 Well, look.

02:12:43.000 The Republican Party, I'll just be honest with you, this is more than just Donald Trump.

02:12:47.000 After 2020, as I said in the very beginning of this back and forth that we're having here, they didn't do anything.

02:12:52.000 They haven't filed a single lawsuit to address the stolen election.

02:12:56.000 They haven't done anything to sue any of the big tech social media companies.

02:12:59.000 So really, what has the Republican Party done?

02:13:01.000 What has Ronna Romney done? 0.79

02:13:03.000 What has Kevin McCarthy done?

02:13:06.000 Mitch McConnell done absolutely nothing right and so it's pretty dismal when you think about it because they really honestly haven't done anything to change the situations that we found ourselves in in 2020 with all of this mail-in ballot fraud and so really ultimately I think that now that everybody is like really hypersensitive to voter fraud there's gonna be people that are more aware and they're more aware about the big tech social media censorship as well but

02:13:32.000 The fact of the matter is, is the Republican Party has dropped the ball, and that's not Donald Trump's fault.

02:13:37.000 Donald Trump is a candidate just like Ron DeSantis is a candidate, or Vivek, or any of these other candidates, but the Republican Party apparatus is behind.

02:13:47.000 They are behind, and we see this on a national level where, you know, we should have been having

02:13:52.000 Conversations about ballot harvesting techniques two years ago, right?

02:13:56.000 We should have been having conversations two years ago about who was going to be Speaker of the House as opposed to Kevin McCarthy.

02:14:02.000 And when you have all these state GOPs, like I pointed out, changing the rules as well, and we still have pervasive tech censorship.

02:14:09.000 I mean, look, Elon Musk purchased Twitter.

02:14:10.000 That'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.

02:14:19.000 Not much has changed.

02:14:20.000 So, um,

02:14:22.000 With regards to Donald Trump, the poll numbers show that he is skyrocketing every single time he faces another indictment.

02:14:29.000 So this idea that, oh, well, he can't beat Biden because, you know, he has too many legal issues.

02:14:34.000 Every single time Donald Trump is indicted or faced with another witch hunt or

02:14:39.000 More legal shenanigans.

02:14:40.000 He shoots up in the polls another 10 points.

02:14:42.000 And I think that the more that they persecute him, the more the average American realizes, oh my God, if they can get away with doing this to Donald Trump, they can get away with doing it to me.

02:14:52.000 And 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.

02:15:05.000 The feeling of what it's like to be targeted, what it's like to be victimized by the federal government.

02:15:12.000 Everybody knows what it feels like to be trapped in a situation that is unfair.

02:15:17.000 And we have to capitalize off of the spirit of retribution and injustice that all Americans are feeling.

02:15:24.000 And that is a feeling and an emotion that transcends political lines.

02:15:35.000 Running around the country trying to change voting laws.

02:15:38.000 Something that one of the supervisors of elections said of a fairly prominent state 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 stuff.

02:15:49.000 So 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 in 0.98

02:15:56.000 And 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. 0.98

02:16:02.000 Look, I'll say point blank tonight. 0.99

02:16:04.000 I hate Kevin McCarthy.

02:16:05.000 I can't stand Ronna Romney. 1.00

02:16:06.000 And, uh, I was one of the most vocal opponents

02:16:23.000 Of Ronna Romney and the McLeadership, as I call it.

02:16:27.000 And I don't like the fact that Donald Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy and the fact that he endorsed Ronna Romney.

02:16:33.000 I don't.

02:16:34.000 And so, just because I support Donald Trump doesn't mean that I agree with every single decision that he's made.

02:16:40.000 But I do know that despite his flaws, and every single human being has flaws, nobody's perfect, every single human is a flawed individual.

02:16:49.000 But despite Donald Trump's flaws, I know that he is the right man for the job.

02:16:53.000 He is.

02:16:59.000 Trust in the party?

02:17:00.000 Well, I think that people don't have trust in the party, which is another reason why, you know, the choice for Trump is so clear, right?

02:17:08.000 That's the reason why Donald Trump is the only choice as far as I'm concerned for 2024, because he's a populist.

02:17:15.000 Yeah.

02:17:19.000 Well, 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?

02:17:31.000 Aren't we all just Americans who are sick and tired of not being represented adequately?

02:17:36.000 Screwed over by the Uniparty. 0.99

02:17:38.000 We all want term limits, okay?

02:17:40.000 We all want adequate representation, but it seems like whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, these incumbent politicians are just screwing us over.

02:17:49.000 And, you know, they're getting away with insider trading.

02:17:51.000 And the only person that revitalized

02:17:54.000 We're good.

02:18:11.000 Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, okay?

02:18:14.000 But Donald Trump is so much bigger than the Republican Party.

02:18:18.000 And 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

02:18:36.000 And I am an advocate for, perhaps, a third party.

02:18:39.000 A stronger third party that is truly representative of the American people, or a hostile takeover.

02:18:45.000 An America First hostile takeover of the Republican Party.

02:18:48.000 Because that's what we need.

02:18:50.000 We need a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.

02:18:53.000 I'm going to try to get to as many questions as I can, so if you guys can refrain from asking questions, it would be very awesome.

02:18:58.000 And I got one from Carrie over here.

02:19:02.000 Hey, what's up?

02:19:04.000 So, as fellow alumni of a previous organization, we know the power that a literal camera and a few seconds of footage can get.

02:19:13.000 What are some organizations and or fellow influencers that you know, whereupon your boss only said that, you know what, not everyone can get in the trenches.

02:19:21.000 But we can donate and support those that are in the trenches.

02:19:24.000 Aside 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 on Judicial Watch or some of those types of guys?

02:19:33.000 Who are your favorites?

02:19:34.000 Thank you.

02:19:37.000 If you want to add any to some of my congress people that you like or any Republican or any politicians at all that you do trust, you do like.

02:19:37.000 I'll leave it at it.

02:19:45.000 I don't know.

02:19:47.000 I don't really like anybody.

02:19:50.000 No, there's a few people I like.

02:19:51.000 I think, honestly, I think Anna Paulina is doing a good job.

02:19:54.000 I do.

02:19:56.000 I do.

02:19:57.000 This is her district, right?

02:20:02.000 You know, I was skeptical at first, but I am surprised.

02:20:05.000 I'm surprised that, you know, she opposed Kevin McCarthy.

02:20:08.000 And I will say that what she did by censoring Adam Schiff was great.

02:20:11.000 So, attagirl, right?

02:20:13.000 Attagirl.

02:20:14.000 I like Congressman Paul Gosar.

02:20:17.000 Like I said, my list is pretty short.

02:20:18.000 I really don't like a lot of people in Congress.

02:20:20.000 I don't like a lot of politicians.

02:20:23.000 Definitely James O'Keefe.

02:20:25.000 You know, Project Veritas had their coup, so now it's OMG Media, so I would support him.

02:20:31.000 Roger Stone as well.

02:20:33.000 I think InfoWars is great as well.

02:20:36.000 Yeah, there's a lot of independent content creators now, and the great part about it is you don't have to pay for cable.

02:20:43.000 So 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.

02:20:53.000 You could support my work with my sub stack, lauralumar.substack.com.

02:20:57.000 It's free, but you can sign up for a paid subscription.

02:21:00.000 And you get all of your own content, and that way you're able to pick and choose what you want to see online.

02:21:05.000 But there's a lot of people.

02:21:07.000 There'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, you know, support who... I don't really like telling people what to do, but I will tell them, you know, just go, just go, believe it or not, just go, just go search it out yourself, right?

02:21:25.000 Spend some time to really investigate who these people are.

02:21:30.000 Yeah, look, these are all good questions, right?

02:21:38.000 But she asked, for those of you who didn't hear, the question is, how does Trump get elected if we

02:22:07.000 So they know what they're doing.

02:22:09.000 But it's going to be up to us, really.

02:22:10.000 We are going to have to be the driving force.

02:22:13.000 We're going to have to be out here every single day making the case for Donald Trump.

02:22:17.000 And a lot of people think I'm picked by the Trump campaign.

02:22:20.000 I'm not.

02:22:21.000 I drove up here on my own dime.

02:22:22.000 I'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.

02:22:29.000 But we all can be doing things like this, right?

02:22:31.000 And it's going to take sacrifice.

02:22:32.000 We all are going to have to

02:22:34.000 Get the message out and sift through the propaganda and make sure people understand that this is it.

02:22:39.000 This is really it for our country.

02:22:40.000 If 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.

02:22:51.000 We don't really have freedom in this country anymore, okay?

02:22:53.000 We don't have freedom of association, no free and fair elections, no free speech.

02:22:58.000 Okay, so we are in a crisis.

02:22:59.000 It's a constitutional crisis.

02:23:01.000 And if people don't step up, then that's it.

02:23:04.000 Take the camera.

02:23:05.000 Start calling out politicians.

02:23:07.000 Do what I do.

02:23:08.000 That's what I say.

02:23:08.000 You gotta punch back.

02:23:10.000 Not physically, but politically speaking, of course.

02:23:16.000 You 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.

02:23:23.000 I'm not here to make friends. 0.99

02:23:24.000 I'm not here to go to their stupid little, you know, Florida GOP Christmas parties and hang out with them at their country clubs. 0.99

02:23:31.000 I know they all hate me, and the feeling is mutual. 1.00

02:23:33.000 Trust me.

02:23:34.000 But 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, because 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.

02:24:08.000 Yeah, so I just want to thank everybody for coming out tonight.

02:24:10.000 I hope you all enjoyed it.

02:24:28.000 Thank you for joining us tonight.

02:24:29.000 I hope that some of you who were preferring Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump either rescind your endorsement or have second thoughts now, right?

02:24:38.000 And people can follow me on Twitter at Laura Loomer.

02:24:42.000 You can follow me on Twitter at Laura Loomer as well.

02:24:46.000 And then my sub stack, right?

02:24:47.000 One way you can support my investigative journalism is subscribing.

02:24:51.000 It's free, but you support my work by paying for a subscription if you want for $7 per month.

02:24:56.000 But I make it free because I believe that everybody has a right to information regardless of whether they can afford to pay.

02:25:03.000 And I don't like the concept of paying for all the content.

02:25:06.000 So, you know, if people are happy, they can upgrade.

02:25:08.000 I also wrote a book.

02:25:09.000 It's called Bloomer and How I Became the Most Manful Woman in the World.

02:25:12.000 I have some copies here.

02:25:14.000 I'm selling them for $30.

02:25:16.000 I can sign them.

02:25:17.000 And if I run out, you can also get a copy on my website and I'll ship it to you.

02:25:20.000 Sign.

02:25:21.000 And 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.

02:25:29.000 And that goes towards all those funds that I generate from selling those shirts go towards my pro-Trump activism.

02:25:35.000 And I travel all over the country as you've probably seen confronting people, holding rallies, and doing the best I can with journalism.

02:25:43.000 But I want to say thank you for having the courage to invite me.

02:25:57.000 There are a lot of people, even within our own party, who do not want you platformed.

02:26:01.000 And they consider displatforming, even though it's your own livestream, but they consider it displatforming.

02:26:05.000 And so we want to make sure that we have an environment that's... We're telegraphed, like I said!

02:26:11.000 I'm happy you came out.

02:26:11.000 I'm happy we had this conversation.

02:26:12.000 You're welcome back any time.

02:26:14.000 The last thing I will plug is that if you are watching live on Nord Stream,

02:26:32.000 You might be in a rural area out in Idaho or something like that, right?

02:26:51.000 I do appreciate anyone who's watching.

02:26:53.000 Again, please get involved with your Young Republicans organizations.

02:26:55.000 A lot of them are all over the country.

02:26:57.000 You don't get one started if you don't have one.

02:26:59.000 And then, other than that, I do want to make an announcement.

02:27:01.000 If you aren't taking video tonight, if you are taking photos, you've done anything like that, I'm posting on social media, please tag us.

02:27:07.000 Please make sure you tag Laura.

02:27:08.000 Make sure you tag Team UIR.

02:27:09.000 We'll repost you. 0.66

02:27:10.000 Tag us throughout the night.
