EP20: Loomer Brings the Heat To Iowa: GOP Establishment MELTS DOWN as Trump Dominates Caucus EventsEP20: Loomer Brings the Heat To Iowa: GOP Establishment MELTS DOWN as Trump Dominates Caucus Events
Laura Loomer and Joey Mannarino broadcast live from a Des Moines snowstorm, asserting Donald Trump dominates the Iowa Caucus while accusing Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis of weaponizing police against them. They detail alleged harassment involving an 18-year-old contributor, a $250,000 Reid Hoffman donation, and threats to Marnie Hockenberg, daughter of Chuck Grassley's co-chair. Praising Vivek Ramaswamy's work ethic while attacking Haley's immigration stance and labeling Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott as closeted homosexuals, the hosts promote Gold Co. for economic instability and announce a watch party for Trump's town hall, framing the GOP establishment's reaction as a total meltdown under his dominance. [Automatically generated summary]
Yes, so Joey and I have both been in Iowa for the last week, and I'm going to be here for the rest of the week until the 16th, and so stay tuned.
Be sure that you are liking and reposting this live episode.
We are currently live from Des Moines, Iowa, and this episode is all about Iowa and the Iowa caucus.
We are officially Six days away from the Iowa Caucus, which is taking place on Monday, January 15th.
And so you're going to want to be sure that you tune into this episode and share it all over your pages because we're going to, for the next two and a half hours or so, run through everything that you've always wanted to know about all the GOP candidates who are now descending upon Iowa and everything that you need to know so that you're prepared to vote on Monday, January 15th.
I know that I've been covering all of President Trump's rallies.
He had a lot of great events.
We're going to show some of these clips tonight.
If you aren't aware of where President Trump or any of these candidates are having their events, for President Trump's events, you can go to his website, of course, to learn about the Iowa caucus.
It's I-A, okay?
I-A as in Iowa.
IA.DonaldJTrump.com and of course that's where you can learn all about how you can caucus for President Trump if you live in Iowa.
I know I have a lot of people who watch me.
We are not Casey and Ron DeSantis and so we're not going to be telling people to come to Iowa to caucus unless you live here in Iowa.
But if you are watching and you do live in Iowa, please be sure that you check out President Trump's website because you're going to need to know how to caucus and how you can bring your friends as well.
But we have a lot of candidates here.
Vivek Ramaswamy is in town.
I know that you actually were on the campaign trail with him.
Yeah, I've been with him the past three days, basically, riding along with him and seeing behind the scenes, seeing him.
Of course, he's in the much more intimate venues, like the pizza ranches and stuff like that.
But he's taking questions from voters, which is something that most of these guys can't claim.
Trump does take questions as well.
But you have guys like DeSantis and Nikki Haley, they're all screened questions.
I know with Vivek, he just walks in.
They're not screened questions.
And he's able to actually answer them, which is good, because I think if you're gonna run for president, you should have to answer questions from the public.
different you know conservative commentators to join him on the campaign trail and you were able to travel on his official tour bus with his you know campaign proper and so what was it like getting to know the vague and tell us some stories maybe some exclusive stories for the loomer unleashed audience so getting to know him was really interesting because a lot of people say oh he's a plant oh he's a Soros guy he actually really seems a hundred percent genuine in what he says and
Yeah, but I would say that the two most personable candidates in this race, obviously Donald Trump, and I was able to spend some time backstage with President Trump at the events as well.
I got to speak to President Trump, and so it was a unique experience.
I was given backstage access to some of President Trump's events in Iowa these last few days, and I was able to speak to President Trump and also talk to some of his campaign staff.
You know, because I'm here interviewing people, and just like, you know, people always say, oh, she works for Trump.
No, I don't work for Trump.
I've, you know, been asked as well, I'm going to have a sit-down interview, as many of you who are viewers of Loomer Unleashed saw.
We interviewed Vivek Ramaswamy on my show a few days ago, and there were some technical difficulties because he was on his bus with bad Wi-Fi, and so he's invited me to do a sit-down interview with him in Iowa, which I intend to do.
And the only two candidates that have been extremely hostile toward me the entire time, literally to the point of calling the cops on me and my staff since I've been here, are Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
I wasn't, and you were on the bus, and you even told me yourself that Vivek was talking Yeah, he saw the video of you and Nikki.
Yeah, so why don't you tell people what happened because we're actually, let's play the clip for people who don't, who haven't seen the clip.
I know that some of you may not have seen this clip.
Well, it's been seen about 14 million times on Twitter.
What ended up happening is I showed up to Nikki Haley's event the other day early in the morning and before she even took the stage, she actually had me escorted out of her event By police who threatened to arrest me even though I hadn't done anything.
I was just standing there getting ready to ask her a question.
And so we have these clips here.
Let's go ahead.
We're doing production live in the fields here.
So hopefully you like our Des Moines, Iowa makeshift studio.
I apologize as well for the 20 minute delay to the live stream.
We had some technical difficulties because as you know I broadcast my show out of Florida and so we had to connect the live feed just so you can hear all the boring technical information.
We had to connect the live feed from Des Moines, Iowa in the middle of a snowstorm.
To Florida, where there's currently a tornado warning outside of the studio where we broadcast.
And so we have storms here in Des Moines with a foot of snow.
It's been snowing all day.
The roads are icy.
And now we have tornado warnings and storms in Florida and 80,000 people without power.
And where's Ron DeSantis?
Well, Ron DeSantis isn't in Florida.
He's in Iowa.
He took a plane to He flew to Iowa today so that he could go complain about President Trump in a Fox News town hall.
Meanwhile, 80,000 Floridians are left without power.
Yeah, he flew for a couple hours to give his state of the state, and the state of the state is bad, given the fact that there's storms that are ravaging the entire state.
So, we'll get back to talking about Ron DeSanctimonious, but I want to play people this clip, so let's go ahead, production team, go ahead and play.
Clip number one, Loomer kicked out of Nikki Haley event.
unidentified
What's the problem that we're here for an event?
I don't know what's the problem though, we're here for an event.
Like I'm just standing here.
I'm asking you to leave.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
You mean like this is a presidential campaign event, right?
Can you just explain to me, like, why you're asking me to leave?
Because they want you to leave.
Why?
It's private property, miss.
I'm standing here, like, what's the issue?
Be pleased to gather your things and leave, please.
I don't understand.
Like, what's the issue?
Have you worked for Mickey's campaign?
I have told you.
That's all I was advised.
And now I'm asking you to move her from the premises.
What's the point of having Tom Hollis if you're just going to kick people out?
She wants to be the first female president and she's kicking a woman out of her event.
So as you can see, Nikki Haley, before I could even ask a question, and honestly, before before I could even ask a question, and honestly, before she even took the stage of her own event, had the cops escort me out.
There were two police officers there.
The individual who you saw on camera, who was not the police officer, who was awkwardly standing there, is her political coordinator for her national presidential campaign.
His name is Miles Nuzzi, and he's actually a Democrat.
If you look at his social media posts, he's like literally condemning Donald Trump after the second impeachment in January 6th.
Supporting people like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, saying that the future of the Republican Party is Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
And so you're not really a Republican if you're supporting Liz Cheney.
Absolutely, and so it was really weird to see Nikki Haley just get so aggressive, right?
She likes to talk about how Donald Trump's a dictator, and how he likes to frolic with dictators, and how he's not tough on dictators, and how, oh, I'm a woman, and my ammunition is my heels, and I'm gonna put these dictators like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in their place by wearing my heels.
And yet, how are you gonna face down dictators if you're scared of Laura Loomer?
Reid Hoffman, who's the second largest donor within the Democrat Party.
The second largest Democrat Party mega donor is a guy by the name of Reid Hoffman.
He's the co-founder of LinkedIn.
And after George Soros, he's the second largest Democrat Party mega donor.
And this guy, okay, he has known associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
He was currently, recently listed in the new batch of names that were released in the unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents.
And even before these documents were released, it was known that Reid Hoffman had attended events on the island, Epstein Island, with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted of being a pedophile.
So forget about plausible deniability, like, oh, you know, he was such a nice guy, just I had no idea that he was raping little girls.
No, after he was convicted of pedophilia, okay, Epstein that is, Reid Hoffman went to the island.
And this is who Nikki Haley's PAC took a quarter of a million dollars from.
In fact, you know, we actually sent a Loomer Unleashed contributor, Charles Downs, we sent a couple Loomer Unleashed contributors today to Nikki Haley's event in There's so many interesting little names in Iowa about Waukee.
Waukee, Iowa is where Nikki Haley had her event this morning.
It was her only event of the day because she's been canceling events ever since I arrived.
Nikki Haley doesn't really want to have so many events anymore.
And she's been blaming it on the snow, of course, right?
She was taking town hall questions before I arrived in Iowa, and ever since I arrived and announced my Loomer Unleashed contest, where I'm giving out cash prizes to people that want to ask questions on video to Nikki Haley and DeSantis, she has officially stopped answering questions.
So, uh, I wanna play this clip.
Let's play clip number four, uh, because immediately, and this means that, uh, Nikki Haley's staff must be spying on us, because the other night I ended up staying at the same hotel in Des Moines as, um, as Nikki Haley's staff.
And, for some reason, they were able to recognize one of my contributors, and I wasn't even there today!
I wasn't even there today!
And they stomped my contributor at the door and said, uh, we know you're with Laura Loomer, you're not allowed to come in.
And this is an 18-year-old guy, okay?
This is an 18-year-old Zoomer, first-time voter, who they kicked out into the snow today, okay?
I mean, the guy, I finally was able to identify the guy who threw, who, uh, the guy, yeah, there we go.
We have the photograph on screen, full screen there.
There's the staffer who filmed the gay sex tape in Senate, uh, a couple weeks ago.
And as you can see, let's get that full screen again for people that may not have seen it.
He's bent over under, he's bent over naked in the, uh, in the, in the Senate shower, he says.
And it says he's waiting for Lindsey Graham, waiting for Lindsey Graham in the Did you hear him say that the homeless people in Baltimore are the sexiest in the country?
And also, today as well, along with throwing my contributor out into the snow, we have this on my ex-account and perhaps production can pull it up.
I've identified the individual who was in that video throwing my staffer out into the snowstorm as Andrew Patterson.
He's the Director of Events and Operations for Nikki Haley.
And so, he's the one that said to my 18-year-old staffer and contributor, Yeah, I don't care if it's snowing outside, you know, go outside into the cold.
Additionally, another Loomer Unleashed contributor, Charles Downs, was able to get inside the Nikki Haley event and was not thrown out.
And we're going to go ahead and play that clip because today Charles confronted Nikki Haley to her face about whether or not she planned on returning the quarter of a million dollar donation that she received from Reid Hoffman.
Reid Hoffman, of course, is the Democrat mega donor and also the co-founder of LinkedIn, who gave Nikki Haley a quarter of a million dollars.
And so let's go ahead and let's go ahead and play.
Play the clip of our contributor, Charles, getting thrown out of Nikki Haley's event.
unidentified
Governor, will you call on your Stand for America back to return Reid Hoffman's donation to a letter to LinkedIn documents?
Well, you guys don't want me asking your boss about Jeffrey Epstein?
Let's go ahead and play that one more time because I just think that it's just so cowardly.
See Nikki Haley walking off the stage, because as I said before I came to town and announced my contest, Nikki Haley was always taking questions at her town halls, but now she just immediately walks off stage.
And of course, that's when Charles followed her and asked the question.
And then as soon as he asked the question, she bolted out the back door and left.
So again, let's play that clip so people can see once again that she refuses to take any questions, walks off the stage, signs a few things.
And then as you saw in the video, Charles walks up to her.
And then a Nikki Haley staffer, you could call that assault, okay?
I would say that, you know, it's not like punching someone in the face, but it's physically hitting them with something.
Hitting their physical person with another object is the definition of assault.
And so you can see her staffer, you know, shoving the Nikki Haley sign in Charles' face, and then Charles told me as well when the camera was off, they proceeded to hit him in the head with the Nikki Haley sign.
And we're not Ron DeSantis, so we don't commit insurance fraud.
But yeah, Charles is in the corner.
He's okay.
He made it out alive.
But yes, they did hit you in the head, right Charles?
Multiple times they hit him in the head.
So let's go ahead and play that clip one more time because everybody needs to see how she immediately exits the stage from her event and then, you know, just dodges Charles's question.
I mean, immediately after he asked the question, they cover his face with the sign and then she bolted out the back entrance and left.
Go ahead and play the clip.
unidentified
Governor, were you calling your Stand for America back to return Reed Hoffman's donation, the letter to Edgerton?
Well, you guys don't want me asking your boss about Jeffrey Epstein?
Uh, Chris Woblington said, dude, it's a town hall meeting, so she's not answering questions with a face like the emoji, you know?
What's the point?
Yeah, exactly.
Like, what's the point of having a town hall if you're not going to answer questions?
Oh, and it's also important to note that Reid Hoffman, the donor who gave Nikki Haley a quarter of a million dollars, who's a Jeffrey Epstein associate, He's the same donor who's currently funding the E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump in which she falsely accused President Trump of raping her.
And why would a man who is worth that much money need to be so desperate to find a woman he has to go rape her in the middle of Bergdorf Goodman, which is a department store in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York?
There is no... What does that even look like?
Oh, I see you.
Go try on this lingerie.
She walks in the fitting room, then he walks in and bends her over and rapes her?
You know, we are now six days away, six days away from the Iowa caucus, and the energy is undeniably in President Trump's favor.
I saw a really interesting clip today from Bill O'Reilly on NewsNation, and he was asked, just kind of point-blank, to give his honest assessment of the Iowa caucus.
And so, he pretty much just said Donald Trump is going to win, and everybody knows it, and Ron DeSantis is going to drop out.
Let's go ahead and play that clip because I think that, one, it's really funny just seeing how blunt Bill O'Reilly is.
I think everybody knows that Donald Trump is going to come in first place.
What we're thinking about now is the margin.
Is he going to be over the 50% mark?
At that point, there is no legitimate case for Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis to continue on, because he is done and defined.
If he goes under 50, they will spin it and say, oh yeah, we're going to stay in and continue, and they'll keep having their little donors infuse them with money.
It will all come to an end once the donors realize they can't beat Trump.
They still are under the delusion they can.
So we'll see how long that lasts, but I don't think Ron makes it.
He'll probably stay in for New Hampshire just for his pride, but he's behind Vivek in the polls.
He's literally in fifth place in the new poll.
It's Trump, and then it's Haley, and then it's Lizzo, the white Lizzo.
He blocked me on Twitter, by the way.
Chris Christie's fat ass blocked me on Twitter because I come for him very hard.
He said that I was one of the worst people ever when I confronted him.
I don't know if we still have that clip or not.
I know that President Trump shared it, but do we still have that clip?
Maybe production can pull it up of when I chased Chris Christie in Florida and I told him that he should be running on a treadmill instead of running for president.
We're going to play the clip because we showed you the clips of Ron DeSantis, of Nikki Haley rather, excuse me, calling the cops on us.
That was Nikki Haley.
You saw the clip of Nikki Haley kicking my staff out, running away.
The same thing happened when I showed up to Ron DeSantis' event the other day.
I show up to Ron DeSantis' event in Iowa.
I had a ticket.
We had tickets to all of these events that we were thrown out of, by the way, okay?
We were given event tickets.
So I show up to his event in, I believe it was Grimes, Iowa, and Chip Roy and Thomas Massey are there with him, and then they do the same thing, where they lie and they say, oh, the owner wants you to leave, you need to leave, the owner said, you know, they're going to have the police trespass you, and it was this whole altercation.
And ultimately I was removed from Ron DeSantis's event even though I was just standing there doing nothing quietly by myself and then I was threatened with arrest.
I was threatened with arrest from an officer from the
From the police from the police department in Ankeny, I believe it was and you'll have to see the clip for yourself, but Then I ended up getting a tip from a friend of the restaurant owner who said this isn't exactly how it went down so Before I get to that part of the story which I broke today on my ex accounts for those of you who are just tuning in and you haven't been following me and my escapades on on Twitter here and Take a look at this clip.
It's about a four minute long clip and you have to watch it from start to finish to really see what happened.
But it goes to show you that Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley both called the cops on me and had me removed by police from their events on January 6th, the three year anniversary of January 6th, because they support weaponized government.
So let's go ahead and play the clip of Ron DeSantis calling the cops on me on January 6th at his campaign event.
unidentified
So we called the restaurant.
The restaurant said that they were open upstairs to the public.
You're having your event downstairs, which I have a ticket for and I'm coming up here just sitting eating my food.
So you're really going to ask me to leave when I didn't even do anything downstairs?
We do have the owner's permission to ask you to leave.
But we'd like you to remain seated.
I just sat down.
Why doesn't the owner come and tell me?
I'm glad you didn't order.
Well, I ordered a Diet Coke and I'm waiting to get my food.
It's time to leave.
Ma'am, so here's the deal.
The owner says he doesn't want you here.
I just sat down.
We're asking you to leave nicely right now.
So you're going to be trespassed from here.
So you can't come back.
Alright, well, when we called, they said that the upstairs was open.
The owner has every right to trespass from here.
And what's your name?
You work for Ron DeSantis' campaign?
Like I said, I'm asking you nicely right now.
Yeah, I'll go.
But I'm just saying, you guys... So let me get this.
So Ron DeSantis wants to be President of the United States of America.
You guys have an event at a restaurant called Busan First.
We called ahead of time.
They say, oh, the event is open to the public upstairs.
But he doesn't want to have journalists inside his event.
So he doesn't believe in free speech.
And now they're, on January 6th, weaponizing the government.
I'm sure they're going to love this.
January 6th, we're on the stands.
It's just like Dignity Day.
There you have it.
Weaponized government.
Ron DeSantis.
What do I like about DeSantis?
It's really nice to see Ron DeSantis kicking out Trump supporters on January 6th.
Okay, where's your car at?
We're gonna walk to your car.
That's not my car.
I know, where is your car?
It went across the street.
Okay, let's go.
I told you I was here with somebody.
Okay, well who are you here with?
They're inside because you didn't let me wait for them.
You want me to grab them too?
Well, yeah, her name's Mari.
You can go get her, but it's her car.
Okay, I'll go grab her in a second.
Great.
She has the keys, so... It's pretty unbelievable.
I mean, you know, Iowa, they have Iowa caucuses, and they're supposed to let journalists cover these events.
It's January 6th and we were going to show up and Asked Ron DeSantis a couple of questions because he's here and said that he wanted to have a caucus event.
And what's really interesting, too, about my friend Marnie, I've known her for seven years.
She's a great friend of mine.
We met when I was in Minnesota doing activism a couple years ago, exposing Ilhan Omar.
I had dinner with her and her family the other night, and her parents are lovely people, and her father happens to be a man by the name of Bud Hockenberg.
And he's very well known here in Iowa, very influential politically speaking.
He's actually the chairman of Chuck Grassley's committee, you know?
And so the candidates... So they kicked her.
They kicked the daughter of the chairman of the Grassley committee.
out of their, of the DeSantis event and called the cops.
And Ron DeSantis is always bragging about how, oh, I've committed, I've, I've completed the full Grassley, the full Grassley.
And they call it the full Grassley, which is when you go to all of Iowa's 99 counties and you say that you have spoken to voters in all 99 counties.
Well, who does that, who's it named after?
Chuck Grassley.
So it just goes to show you how out of touch Ron DeSantis is now.
Not only does he weaponize the police and the government against citizens for simply asking questions.
We were not violent.
But also, what does he think Chuck Grassley is going to think about this when it gets back to Chuck Grassley that Ron DeSantis called the cops on the daughter of the chairman of his committee?
And President Trump would be spending more time in Iowa.
President Trump has done a lot of events in Iowa.
But I will say that it just goes to show you, President Trump had to go to court today in Washington, D.C.
So when people say, oh, Trump's never in Iowa, I personally have been to multiple events, backstage access, just, you know, for this week alone with President Trump.
Uh, and I've, you know, reported on these events, but I'm pretty sure President Trump would prefer to be in Iowa right now, but he had to spend time at a federal appeals court today regarding presidential immunity for the witch hunts against him, and of course they did this right before the caucus so that they could create these narratives.
But President Trump is going to be in Iowa again this week.
Of course, I'm going to be covering those rallies with the Loomer Unleashed team.
You can go to DonaldJTrump.com.
You can go to IA, that's for Iowa, IA.DonaldJTrump.com, and that's where you can learn to caucus, how to caucus for Trump if you live in Iowa.
Get all the information about his events.
They're free.
There's nothing more fun than a Trump rally.
I will be there.
I encourage all of you to come.
And right now, before we continue with the rest of the show, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of today's episode, episode 20 of Loomer Unleashed, and that, of course, is Gold Co.
You know, we're living in really uncertain financial times, and that's why we really need President Trump back in office, because as you've probably noticed, a lot of people are predicting we're going to have a market crash.
The, you know, inflation is through the roof.
The economy is really not doing so well.
But, you know, when the economy was doing well is when President Trump was back in office.
And a lot of people have lost value from their assets and a lot of people are going to lose value of their assets, their real estate holdings.
And the dollar really isn't going to have much value if President Trump doesn't get back into office and if Joe Biden is able to continue to carry out this illegitimate communist regime and drive our economy into the ground.
So that's why it's really important that you back up your personal wealth with precious metals like gold and silver.
And so I'm really happy to have partnered with one of the most trusted precious metals companies in the entire country, and that's Gold Co.
And right now they're offering up to $10,000 in free silver while supplies last.
So you're going to want to go to LumerLikesGold.com.
That's LumerLikesGold.com.
And, you know, check them out.
Check out Gold Co.
if you're interested in backing up your wealth with precious metals like gold and silver.
We are living, like I said, in very uncertain times and so it's really important that you protect your wealth as well as the wealth and the future financial livelihood of your family because who knows what's going to happen, you know?
We're on the brink of World War III right now and We don't even know if we're gonna make it.
We don't know.
We don't know what's gonna happen.
And so definitely look into gold and silver.
Go to Gold Co.
Go to Gold Co.
Check them out.
Tell them Laura Loomer sent you.
Again, the website where you can learn all about it is loomerlikesgold.com.
That's loomerlikesgold.com.
And of course, we thank Gold Co.
for being a pro-free speech sponsor.
They've been, they're actually my first sponsor when I first created Loomer Unleashed, who partnered here with me over at Rumble, a free speech platform.
So we wanna make sure that we support people who support us and companies that are supporting personal liberty and freedoms, which they're promoting.
They don't want the government to take control of your money.
They want you to take control of your own finances and your own wealth and they also put their money where their mouth is because they don't just sponsor me, they sponsor a lot of different conservatives.
Well, I was gonna ask him a lot of things, but what I really wanted to ask him on the three-year anniversary of January 6th was, uh, hey, Ron, you know, uh, why did you recently say that, uh, the January Sixers were not patriots?
Why are you allowing for Capitol Police to set up shop Yeah, Florida has the highest number of J6 defendants out of any state.
We live like, I don't know about you, but I live in a horrible condition basically at this point and I'm paying more than I've ever paid for rent ever.
He is, and you know, he gave his State of the State address today, and like I said, right now, as we're currently speaking, you know, storms are ravaging through the state of Florida.
There's floods, there's tornadoes, and 80,000 people, I'm told right now, are without power.
But it's great because while there's a storm in In Florida right now, I'm able to keep an eye on my dogs and you can see here, see look, there's a live cam.
So, uh, you know, I, I played the clip earlier for you guys, um, getting kicked out of the Ron DeSantis event.
And then I told you my friend Marnie, of course, is the daughter of the chairman of the Grassley committee.
And I wanted to play the interview with my friend Marnie as well, because I interviewed her and you can hear firsthand from her what it was like as an Iowa resident, uh, getting thrown out of this Ron DeSantis event with me where they called the cops on her.
And it just goes to show you once again just how out of touch Ron DeSantis is throwing the daughter of the chairman of the Grassley Committee in Iowa right a week before the Iowa caucus out of his events and calling the cops on her.
So let's go ahead and cut to clip number three of my interview with Marnie Hockenberg.
Hey everybody, so I'm in Iowa.
This is Laura Loomer, and this is my friend Marnie Hockenberg.
And as many of you saw yesterday, Marnie and I went to Ron DeSantis' event.
We both had tickets to attend his event in Iowa, just outside of Des Moines.
unidentified
It was being hosted at a sports bar called Who's On First.
And upon entering the building, even though we called ahead and they told us that the upstairs area was open to the public, I was surrounded by a police officer and Jared Small, who is the director of advance for Rhonda Sanchez's campaign.
And they said that the owner had directed the police to trespass us and remove us or else we were going to be arrested.
Well, Stay tuned because there's some foggy details around those claims by Ron DeSantis.
But what is really interesting is Marnie here happens to be the daughter of a very influential Iowa Republican leader, and his name is Bud Hockenberg.
And so Ron DeSantis may not know this, but the woman in Iowa Who was attending this event with me, who he called the cops on and threatened with arrest, happens to be the daughter of Bud Hockenberg, who is a member of the Grassley Committee.
Yes, that's Senator Chuck Grassley here in Iowa.
And the Grassley Committee, of course, got its name because they call it The full Grassley when a candidate goes to all 99 of Iowa's counties.
And so, Marnie, it's really interesting, right?
Really interesting.
How does this all make you feel?
A really fun fact here.
And I wonder if Ron DeSantis is going to be kicking himself in the head after he hears who he kicked out and called the cops on at his event.
unidentified
Really?
How ironic.
You know, you're kicking out Republicans from a Republican event?
So how did it make you feel getting kicked out of Rhonda Sanchez's event with me and being told by the police in the parking lot that we were going to be arrested and taken to jail if we went back inside?

I thought it was disgusting.
It was obvious as an example of Ron DeSantis weaponizing the government against us.
And it turns out that the owner of the establishment, who's on first, did not tell the cops to try to trespass us and remove us from the venue.
And he threatened to arrest us and take us to jail.
So it looks like Ron DeSantis' campaign lied to the police and told them something that wasn't true, and it's really interesting because, you know, you hear on the video them saying, oh, you know, we have permission to remove you from the owner, and now we're finding out that the details surrounding that really aren't exactly as Ron DeSantis and his campaign portrayed it.
So more deception from Deceptive Ron, but it's also just really incredible how he's in Iowa trying to win He's the co-chairperson of the Grassley Committee.
My father is.
The grassley, the full grassley.
And yet you are the daughter of Bud Hockenberg, who...
unidentified
He's the co-chairperson of the grassley committee.
And Ron DeSantis called the police on his daughter, you, and me, because we're friends.
We've been friends for many years now, and we go way back from our time in Minnesota together.
And so I just want Rhonda Sanchez's people to know that you didn't just kick a journalist out of your event and call the cops on me, but my friend Marnie is a very established conservative and also a conservative activist, a Jewish woman, and her father just happens to be a very influential Republican leader in the state of Iowa, a member of the Grassley Committee.
First Lady Melania Trump I just released a statement on X a couple moments ago saying that, quote, it is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother Amalia.
Amalia Knobbs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.
She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law.
We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.
As we know, as you know, the media has been really nasty with their whole, where's Melania comments?
Well, Melania has been a very devoted wife to her husband, who was harassed, of course, nonstop by the Deep State.
But also, she is not seen in public appearances because she's been taking care of her mother, who was unfortunately, I believe, diagnosed with cancer.
And, uh, her mother just passed away today from cancer, and so, uh, you know, on New Year's... I hope the media can now apologize for that disgusting stuff they said.
Yeah, and the photos are beautiful as well, and so I was looking at the ex account earlier, and just really nice tributes are pouring in.
It's just been an awful year, really, for the Trump family.
You had the passing of Ivana, who was, of course, President Trump's first wife, and they remained very good friends even after the divorce, and the mother of his children, Eric, Ivanka, and Don.
And that was a very tragic death, you know?
They found her at the bottom of the stairs of her place in New York City.
And now, of course, the passing of Melania's mother.
The man is nearly 80 years old, and he could have done anything in his elder years.
Most people, with his money, would have left that presidency, and with everything they put him through, got on the jet, and he would be on some island somewhere, with his feet up, his whole family with him, and never think about our problems again.
But he actually loves the country and is staying in the fight.
And that's something that I don't think we will ever quite find again.
And to have to deal with that much harassment and knowing that the media is constantly accusing you of being a neglectful wife when really you're just by your ailing mother's bedside.
Well, tonight, you know, after he left Florida for his State of the State, Ron DeSantis actually came back to Iowa for a town hall with Fox News.
And tomorrow, Wednesday, President Trump is having his town hall.
And what was really interesting is that one of the guests who attended this town hall tonight for Ron DeSantis in Iowa, Was a guy by the name of Josh Sorba.
Josh Sorba.
And before the town hall took place, you had Congressman Chip Roy, who's a Trump hater, giving an interview to Martha McCallum.
And they actually also interviewed this Josh Sorba guy.
And Chip Roy praised him and said that he and Ron DeSantis met with this guy, Josh, What?
this week in Iowa.
Well, why am I bringing up this guy, Josh?
Because a few months ago, Josh was on Twitter threatening me and Alex Brucewitz and said that he was going to come find us with razors.
- What? - Yes. - Oh. - He said that he was gonna come find us with razors.
And we have the tweet, and we have the clip from the town hall today and the Fox News interview that shows that this is who Ron DeSantis and Chip Roy are aligning themselves with.
So let's go ahead and play clip number seven of Josh Sorba at the Ron DeSantis event, and then Chip Roy praising him, and then we're gonna show you the tweet so that you can see firsthand how he literally threatened me and Alex Brucewitz with a razor.
unidentified
What brings you out today to this event?
The opportunity to meet DeSantis, Chip Roy and Thomas Massey.
We've been blanketing the state meeting with people.
I remember Josh.
I met with him up there with Governor DeSantis a few days ago.
Like I said, because of the live feed, because we are broadcasting live here from Des Moines, Iowa, but the sound gets cut off on my end, so it sounded like the clip wasn't playing in full.
But you heard him say there, Chip Roy, that he met with Josh and Ron DeSantis.
And all the DeSantis influencers followed this crazy guy on Twitter.
Well, if by some chance they didn't know, now they do, so now if they don't condemn it, I guess... And they're giving him, this was back in July, and now we know that Ron DeSantis gave him tickets to his town hall, and Chip Roy admitted that he met with him as well as Ron DeSantis.
And she's also the only GOP presidential candidate that is not in favor of In fact, let's go ahead and play clip number 10.
That's President Trump's PAC actually just released a new ad about Nikki Haley and her open borders immigration policy because she doesn't think that the illegals who are breaking our laws by coming across our country, invading our country, are criminals.
She does not think they're criminals.
She said so in her own words.
And President Trump has a brilliant new ad out calling Nikki Haley out for her open borders policies.
It's from MAGA Inc., the President Trump Super PAC.
So let's go ahead and play clip number 10.
unidentified
Drug traffickers.
Rapists.
Poisoning our country.
But Nikki Haley refused to call illegals criminals.
The definition of illegal immigration implies that a crime has been committed.
But perhaps she doesn't really want to come to terms with this because Nikki Haley herself is not even a natural-born citizen because her parents, who are immigrants, okay, from India, a lot of people don't know this, abused our immigration system and she's a birthright citizen.
She's not a natural-born citizen.
You have to be a natural-born citizen to be President of the United States.
That means that she's an anchor baby.
Like the babies that are born to illegal aliens, okay?
Those are birthright citizens.
And that's why every GOP presidential candidate wants to ban birthright citizenship except Nikki Haley.
She's an anchor baby.
I wrote an article about this that was then expanded upon and picked up by my friend Paul Ingrassia who published it in Gateway Pundit and American Spectator and today President Trump actually shared that on True Social.
So President Trump even shared my article and Paul Ingrassia's article in which I exposed that Nikki Haley is not qualified to be president because she doesn't have natural born citizenship.
I mean, even if you're going to run as a Republican, even if you're not going to be actually strong in an office, you would think she'd have the brains to at least act like she cared about illegal immigration.
But she doesn't.
I don't understand how anybody can run in this party and accept the rapists, criminals, killers that run across our border.
The human traffickers that are basically bending over five-year-old girls and running gangbangs and 10 men ejaculating a five-year-old girl.
They're finding five-year-old girls.
I don't mean to give you the graphic description, but they literally are finding three-year-old boys and five-year-old girls that have 10 samples of semen in them.
So you have, just imagine if you want to even picture that image in your mind, a five-year-old Uh, getting ejaculated in by ten men who are raping them.
I mean, it's disgusting, okay?
According to Nikki Haley, that's not a crime!
Ejaculating inside a five-year-old ten times from ten different men isn't a crime, according to Nikki Haley.
What is that?
Because not only is that called human trafficking, but it's also called pedophilia, and people like that should be shot in the head.
Well, I'm just saying, if these people aren't criminals and they just want a better life, maybe Nikki Haley won't mind introducing a bunch of these gangbangers to her daughter.
Well, if you support illegal immigration, I always say... No, but seriously, if these people are not criminals, then why doesn't Nikki Haley invite these human traffickers that are raping five-year-old girls?
If they're not criminals, why don't they let them spend the night with her own daughter?
I know that it's in President Trump's ad where he's, you know, talking about her immigration stance.
But let's go to the chat really quick, because I know that, you know, we have some people in the chat that may have some questions for you or people that want to talk about everything.
I was also on Steve Bannon's show today, too, so be sure that you check that out if you missed it.
Earlier this evening, you guys, I did an interview, an update from Iowa, you know, just really talking about a lot of what I'm talking about with you as well, but I posted that on my ex as well.
The clip is also on the Bannon War Room Rumble, so be sure, if you missed my interview, you check that out.
Let's go to the channel and see what everybody's saying.
Also, we are live right now, you guys, so please, uh, please do me a favor and post this, uh, retweet it, uh, post it on your Facebook, post it wherever, share it, like it, okay?
Leave a comment, uh, on the live Rumble feed, and be sure that you download the Rumble app.
It's free, and you follow me on Rumble as well, so you never miss an episode.
Also, uh, at the bottom of my Rumble page, you're gonna see a little button that says, Get Loomer'd.
It's free to subscribe, but I am an independent journalist.
And so if you would like to support my investigative journalism, you can click to become a subscriber of my Locals and pay $7 a month or $70 per year.
Or you can also give a one-time donation.
We also right now are live from Iowa.
It costs a lot of money to bring everybody out here to Iowa to do the show.
And we're hoping to go out to other states as well.
I want to thank everybody because we reached our goal of 6,500.
But if you would like to, the GiveSendGo link is in my bio on my ex account, and you can still contribute if you want, and any additional funds that are left over after we cover the cost of this trip will then be, you know, put into our trip funds so that we can also go potentially to places like New Hampshire, maybe I'll go out to Colorado, maybe I'll go out to Maine, you never know!
You have a lot of these crazy Secretaries of State who are trying to remove Trump from the ballot, and they need to get loomered!
And so if you want to cover the production costs for that, you can go to the GiveSendGo.
I'll give you that link as well right now.
Let me pull that up and I know that the production can pull that up full screen as well.
She'd be right on your... But it's givesendgo.com slash Loomer in Iowa.
Givesendgo.com slash Loomer in Iowa.
We can also put that in the chat.
But I want to thank everybody for at least helping us.
We did reach the cost of the Iowa trip.
But if you do want to make more contributions on that GiveSendGo, it's going to roll over because every single time that we're going to be doing a trip, we're going to create a new GiveSendGo page just for the sake of transparency so that you guys see we're not going on vacation with your money.
You know, we are doing this on a budget, and I'm telling you right now that I'm dominating Iowa caucus coverage.
I don't know of a single other reporter out here who has gotten as much coverage as I have.
My Nikki Haley video got over 15 million views, and I did that on a cell phone, okay?
And so now we have the team out here, and just in earned media alone, okay, we have probably generated, in terms of earned media, which is what they call, you know, Stuff they don't pay for.
Stuff that people would see that you would really have to pay for, like views.
We've probably generated millions of dollars of earned media, right?
That's not earned media that we benefit from.
I'm saying, like, earned media, when you look at the fact that candidates are paying millions of dollars for ads right now on television, the stuff that we're doing is getting more views, and they're spending millions of dollars on it, and we've been able to do this trip under a budget of $8,000.
And we want to be transparent with all of you because, look, like we're not the mainstream media that flies first class and, you know, stays in five-star hotels.
We do everything on a budget and it's only possible because of all of you.
And I'm really blessed and I'm so grateful that I have such amazing supporters like all of you who were generous enough to come together and through your contributions of, you know, $5, $10, $120.
There were some people that even made $500 donations.
Thank you so much.
We were able to cover the cost.
But if you do want to support my work and you want to Make sure that we have funds so that I could potentially go out to Maine or Colorado and go confront the secretaries of states there that are removing Trump from the ballot.
You can, of course, contribute to the GiveSendGo.
GiveSendGo.com slash LoomerInIowa and any funds that are left over will then be used to plan the additional trips.
And it's really great.
You know, this is all grassroots independent media funded by the American people.
I even said today to the team, I was like, you know, instead of having to go pay for like, you know, a ride share or something or to pay for a cab, let's just have food delivered because I don't want to have to go pay to go to the restaurant and then also go there, you know?
So I'm really frugal when it comes to your money because I want to make sure that every single dollar is spent well and my production team is rolling their eyes at me right now in the corner over there.
Because I'm holding them hostage in the house and I said, no, we're staying here all day.
So we're going to order food delivery and you're going to work.
You're going to work like you're going to work.
And I'm basically like a slave master, you know, making everybody work.
So I have a great team, of course, as well.
Couldn't do it without them.
But it is true, right, guys?
You can talk.
It's OK.
Have you been held hostage in this house with me all day?
Yeah, be careful, because who knows, there's probably someone on Team... I wouldn't even be surprised if it was a DeSantis supporter that had me swatted last week.
And, you know, in the cold weather as well, it's been really hard on my lungs, and so I have asthma.
As many of you know, it's really hard for me to breathe in this cold weather, which is also why I'm really grateful that, you know, I have the next sponsor that I'm going to tell you all about as well.
And so let me pull this up because we just did a read for them the other day.
They're a new sponsor of mine.
I was recently told that if I didn't want to get sick and I wanted to have overall health, one of the supplements that I should be taking more of is magnesium and I realized that I've had a magnesium deficiency and so I myself started incorporating a magnesium supplement into my life so that I could have overall, you know, better optimal wellness and also sleep better.
I'm always stressed out which is probably why my asthma is so bad because I'm sure it's a combination of allergies and being in the cold weather, but also, too, my asthma.
Personally, I'll share something about myself.
I have really bad anxiety, and so anytime I, like, get really stressed out, my lungs constrict, and so I have a hard time sometimes managing anxiety.
And as a result of like high levels of cortisol, you know, you, when you have a high levels of stress, you're going to want to incorporate magnesium into your diet.
And I was told, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to have to load myself up with, you know, all these different things to manage stress.
And so, I'm like, I want natural remedies, things that I can do, and magnesium helps lower your cortisol rates, right?
And so, I'm really excited about the magnesium breakthrough by Optimizers.
You can see it on the screen there, Magnesium Breakthrough.
It's a great magnesium supplement.
Pretty much every single function in your body gets upgraded when you take magnesium, okay?
And so, from the quality of your sleep, to your brain function, to stress reduction, and also metabolism.
It's really great.
And so, Don't really I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions I know that we're in a new year right now, but I do want more balance in my life And so I'm gonna really try to let go of things that I personally cannot control so that I'm not always stressed out and pissed off about everything because There's so much to be pissed off out pissed off out pissed off about on a daily basis and I kind of need to reduce my stress levels and so that's why I'm gonna be taking a
My magnesium breakthrough so that I can sleep better as well because as you know I'm just like Donald Trump and I tweet at 3 o'clock in the morning and I probably should be sleeping instead of tweeting but sometimes you just got to break a story you know so sleep is a little bit overrated and as I say I'll sleep when I'm dead someday but I do definitely want to reduce my stress and I don't get enough magnesium through my diet because let's be honest like when you're running around as much as I do you're probably not even eating as much as you should let alone
You know, the types of foods that you should be eating.
And so, if you want to get up to 10% off your magnesium breakthrough and improve your overall health and incorporate magnesium into your life, go to buyoptimizers.com slash lumer.
That's buyoptimizers.com slash lumer.
And enter promo code LUMER to get 10% off LUMER.
Again, that's buy.
Optimizers.
B-I-O-P-T-I-M-I-Z-E-R-S dot com slash Lumer.
Buyoptimizers.com slash Lumer.
And then you can get all types of supplements on their website, not just the magnesium.
Yeah, I never had asthma before I had COVID, and then I had COVID two years ago, and then I have an albuterol inhaler that I take, and then sometimes, like, I literally cannot breathe.
There's times where I just have a really hard time breathing.
But the cold weather, that's why it's probably really toasty in here, because every time I'm inside, I put the heat on like 78, because I just... I don't know, I'll wake up in the middle of the night, honestly.
That's another reason why I like the magnesium, because it makes you sleep better, because I have such a hard time breathing.
I have the worst asthma, and the magnesium... I mean, it's all connected, right?
If you have stress-induced asthma, like I do, Then, lowering your cortisol levels helps, and so the magnesium helps with that.
Nobody's perfect, you know?
Nobody's perfect.
Even though you see me breaking a million stories a day, it's not glamorous, you know?
I definitely have very high stress levels.
Politics is very stressful.
I don't really recommend it to anybody.
You have to take care of yourself, and especially if you have asthma too, you can find yourself in really bad situations at times.
Everybody who knows me, my entire production team, knows that I always have an inhaler in my purse, because there are times, really, where I'll be, you know, chasing somebody, or I'll be, you know, running around trying to get a story, and I'll have an asthma attack.
Everybody's asking me what I think about the tunnels, these Chabad tunnels.
Honestly, you guys, people are messaging me about it.
I have been so busy today.
Honestly, I have been so busy at events trying to track down Nikki Haley and breaking stories that I really haven't looked into it.
I plan on looking into the tunnel story tonight to see what's going on because everyone's blowing me up about it.
But I really don't know enough about it because I'm busy.
Okay, I have been on the phone all day and have been preparing for my show, doing interviews all day long.
I also have a wash party tomorrow, so let's get that flyer up on the screen as well for the production team.
Tomorrow, President Trump is going to be having a town hall in Iowa that's going to be hosted by Fox News.
And that's in Des Moines and in Grimes, which is about 15 minutes away from Des Moines.
Very close.
Some people call it Des Moines anyway.
I'm going to be having an event from 6 30 to 10 p.m.
at night.
It's free to the public.
There's going to be free food.
I'm catering pizza and meatballs because it's our last chance to stick a meatball into the meat, a fork into the meatball.
And you know, of course, I'm referring to Ron DeSantis.
And the flyer's right there.
You can see it's at Destination Grill in Grimes, Iowa.
Come on out.
We're going to have flat screen TVs, a projector, beverages and food.
If you want to come meet me, we're going to be streaming as well.
Joey's also going to be my co-host for that tomorrow.
So we're going to be giving our commentary, our live stream commentary on President Trump's town hall.
We're going, if you want to meet me, even if you're not caucusing and you're You're just in town and you want to meet me?
This is your chance to meet me.
But hopefully you will come out and come learn how you can caucus for Trump.
We're going to have caucus materials there, like caucus cards.
I'm not caucusing for Trump because I don't live in Iowa, but volunteers from President Trump's campaign are going to come to the watch party and bring Commit to Caucus cards.
Oh, great.
And there should be some, you know, Trump signs there if you want Trump signs as well.
As everybody knows, I've endorsed President Trump and, you know, I fully support President Trump and I want to make sure that we get as much exposure as possible.
And not everybody can get tickets to these town halls, so what better way than to just have our own watch party?
Yes, we definitely want to respect the funds that all of you contribute.
We're not out here partying, you know, we're not eating at five-star restaurants.
And I think we actually ate McDonald's last night.
We did.
We actually had McDonald's because it was snowing.
I'll tell you the story.
We got checked into our place and there's a snowstorm.
We didn't have the rental car yet Okay, because we're getting we're picking up the rental car tomorrow.
And so we're like, oh my god, where do we go?
Because nobody's gonna come pick us up right now.
There's no cars driving on the road right now because the snow was so bad.
And so we're staying at a place and the only thing open late at night because it was like almost 9 30 at night by the time we wanted to go eat and the only thing that was open was a McDonald's and so we walked in the snow across the train tracks to go get McDonald's.
I'm from Arizona originally, and I grew up with horses.
I went to boarding school on a horse, France, actually.
And when I was in boarding school, I was the manager of the school rodeo team.
My boarding school had a rodeo team, and so I would help get all the horses ready, and we had a traveling rodeo team, and I would feed all the horses, yeah.
Someone said, uh, have you or anyone on your team driven in snow?
Uh, no.
And that is exactly why we are waiting till tomorrow to get the rental car, because the producer, who is originally from Iowa, my producer, who knows how to drive in snow, is coming tomorrow.
And so, we are responsible.
I would not, I don't even care if I had a rental car, I would not be driving in the snow.
I would be too scared.
I don't know how to drive in snow.
I really don't.
That's why I literally walked in a snowstorm to go get food last night.
And the fact that Nikki Haley... I've also been invited to do a sit-down interview.
Even Vivek's people invited me.
They said, oh, do you want... because they invite media to join them.
They invited me.
They said that I could come with them.
They said that I could travel with them on their bus if I wanted to because they invite reporters.
And you know because you Yes, and you can testify to this so I've been invited by by I was allowed to get prudential to go behind stage at Trump's rally I've been invited to cover Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign and yet Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis call the cops on me You're only a threat to those with things to hide That's it If you don't have anything to hide, they wouldn't be afraid of you.
And then, of course, tomorrow we are, like I said, we're having the watch party at Destination Grill from 6.30 to 10 p.m.
Central.
And so if you're in Iowa, come on out.
The flyer is on my X account.
It's also, we can get that full screen again as well.
Production can get the flyer back on the screen so that everybody can see the flyer.
You're going to be coming out.
It's going to be a really great time.
I hope that all of you can join me.
In the meantime, let's take a couple more questions.
And then, of course, the next show is going to be on Thursday, same time, 7 p.m. Central.
We're going to be doing another episode of Loomer Unleashed live here from Iowa.
And then this weekend, I'm, of course, going to be traveling around covering President Trump's rallies.
But before we sign off tonight, again, take a look at those details for the watch party.
We're going to be streaming live tomorrow.
It's not an episode of Loomer Unleashed.
It's just more live streamed content of the watch party.
And so, Loomer Unleashed will resume on Thursday.
But of course, you can tune in and watch the livestream tomorrow from 6.30 Central to about 10pm Eastern on my Rumble channel, rumble.com slash lauraloomer.
Be sure that you download the Rumble app and that you're following.
Let's take some comments.
Anything else you want to add before we go tonight?
Somebody said, what do you wish more people knew about President Trump?
Uh, you know, honestly, without revealing too much, I wish people knew how generous he was and just how laid back he was.
I will say that President Trump is so kind and he really honestly is just such an uplifting person.
I get attacked so much and there's so many people that are nasty to me online.
there's so many people that are nice to me but there's so many people that are also like just really nasty and mean and they say things like oh you're ugly right they Photoshop photos of me they make they make me look like I'm fat they say that I'm fat and every time President Trump sees me he always says you're so smart I love your site so much.
You're so intelligent.
I love your articles.
And you're such a beautiful woman.
I hope you know how beautiful you are.
He's always saying this to people.
And you know, it's not just me.
He says this to a lot of people in the sense that he's very complimentary.
And he doesn't just give out like compliments to give out compliments.
He tells you, right?
And you can tell he's not just bullshitting you because he'll say things like, Oh, you know, I love your site.
And I can tell because I've literally seen him in person at events and his secretary and staff carry around papers to constantly show him what's going on in the news.
All I have to offer is my energy and my loyalty and my devotion and really just my brain.
And yet...
You know, he let me sit next to him at Bedminster.
He's such an amazing host.
He really, honestly, is the most hospital person I've ever met in my life.
And just the fact that there's people, like some of the wealthiest people in the world would pay godly amounts of money to have dinner with President Trump or to just be in the same room with him.
And I have really nothing of financial value to give this man.
And he's like, Oh, bring your friends, you know, at Bedminster, like when I'm there, your friends can come up and sit with me.
And meanwhile, there's all these pro athletes.
And I don't know, I just, I wish people got to see just how really Genuine he is it's not like he expects anything out of anybody.
He really is just a laid-back funny guy And he's always joking and I asked him I said, you know, mr. President.
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
You're always so positive and you're always laughing and you always just seem to be okay How do you do it?
And he said, he said, I just, I, I just don't care to let it bother me.
And he said, it's not that I don't care.
He said, it's not, and I hope he won't get upset for me, with me for sharing this.
He said, I just don't care.
And I said, well, what do you mean?
He's like, it's not that I don't care about what's going on.
Obviously I care and the country's being destroyed.
He said, but you just can't care or else you'd be a mess all day.
Right?
You, you have to let it roll off your back.
And it made me think, wow, if this man can let this type of persecution Go and just say, you know what, I'm going to tune it out and focus on the people.
And he said, I know a lot of people depend on me.
We have a country to save.
It makes me think to myself, what am I bitching about?
But there's a lot of very powerful rich people that have been in the same room and I've witnessed it and Donald Trump has literally just like, I don't want to say like ignored them because he doesn't really ignore anybody, but I have watched President Trump spend more time with a random person who has nothing of monetary value to offer him, who's just a fan, an ordinary American, while there's a billionaire in the corner waiting.
I have seen that and most people would not do that.
And of course I want to remain discreet because I don't want to disclose my personal conversations or my personal meetings with president Trump because you're not supposed to do that.
But I've, I have, you know, been to enough events or been to enough, you know, bench bench to enough places where I've had, you know, behind the scenes access or I've, you know, Ben Bennett, you know, a donors, a donors event or that president Trump has been at.
And I've seen this interaction play out time and time again.
He's not an elitist.
He really is not.
No, he's definitely not.
He's the most down-to-earth guy.
Like I said before, he eats fast food, okay?
This is a guy that could be eating filet mignon and lobster for every meal.
He eats fast food, and he just hangs out, and he talks to people, he has a good time, and he cracks jokes.
He's not some monster like people make him out to be.
Also, another thing, too, that people say, I hate seeing this online, they're like, oh, he doesn't know the names of his own grandchildren, or he doesn't, like, you know, even care about his children, or, oh, he forgot to post about, you know, Melania's birthday.
First of all, when I was at Bedminster, his grandkids, and I don't, like I said, I don't want to, like, reveal personal information, because I want to respect his privacy, but I will say that when I was at Bedminster with President Trump, his grandkids came in, and they love their grandfather.
And they all just, they were like fighting for his attention and jumping on his lap.
And he's like, oh, which one of you is number one in your class?
And they want to impress their grandfather so badly.
When I say they were fighting, like play fighting, right?
Like arguing, oh, I'm number one.
No, I'm number one in my class.
You know, they really want to impress him because he instilled that type of drive and character, not even in his own children, who are wildly successful, but also the little grandkids, you know, they know.
And so he definitely knows the names of his grandkids and he's sitting there telling me, oh, you know, he just turned this age and, you know, he's the top of his class and people don't get to see that because of the court hearings and, you know, the way that they portray him, but he really is a loving grandfather.
Okay.
He loves his grandkids and, and, uh, And even in the middle of a golf tournament, right, when all these pro athletes and donors are sitting in his private box, right, he's giving all of his attention to the grandkids.
Marnie said, Laura's also down to earth, which is one of the reasons why Trump loves her.
Yeah, you know, that is true.
That is true.
I'm very down to earth, and that's why I hope all of you come on out to my watch party tomorrow so that you can see.
