| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
I'm your host, Laura Lumer, reporting live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the Republican National Convention is currently taking place.
I want to thank everybody who is tuning in right now, and I also want to take a moment to thank all of my supporters, because just moments ago, I officially hit 1 million followers on Twitter, now known as X.
I really wouldn't be here today without all of you, and I really appreciate those of you who support me just this last week alone.
I've probably picked up about 50,000 followers from all of my reporting from Washington, D.C.
to non-stop, round-the-clock updates following the attempted assassination of President Trump, and now we're here live in Milwaukee to bring you on-the-ground coverage of everything you need to know about the RNC Convention.
I've been here all week long.
And really, we have a really packed show for you before I head back over to the convention tonight to watch the evening speeches.
Senator J.D.
Vance, President Trump's VP pick, will be giving his keynote address tonight.
He will be the last speaker tonight before the final day tomorrow of the RNC convention.
And tomorrow, of course, is when President Trump is expected to deliver his speech.
And of course, here we've had a great time at the RNC convention, where President Trump has really had an uncontested convention, compared to what we saw in 2016, where there was a fight on the convention floor at the last minute to try to rob President Trump of the nomination when he was then candidate Donald Trump.
So it's been a really great time, and not to sound too hokey or, you know, kumbaya-ish, but there really is a true sense of unity here on the ground.
In Milwaukee, I've had a lot of people who have been, you know, very negative towards me or people who I traditionally have really not gotten along with from Matt Schlapp, of course, who had me kicked out of CPAC in 2018, all the way to Ron DeSantis' staff come up to me and shake my hand and apologize and try to extend an olive branch.
And so I think that President Trump nearly escaping death This last Saturday when an assassin tried to put a bullet in his head has really put things into perspective for a lot of people.
And so I'm really proud to be here.
It's an honor to be here at the RNC, especially to witness history.
I truly believe that President Trump is the best president, certainly of my lifetime, and also the best president this country has ever had.
And so it truly is an honor to be here this week to witness President Trump take And accept the nomination.
I'm also happy to see that he has picked J.D.
Vance as his VP candidate.
And so, joining me in about 30 minutes or so, we'll have Savannah Hernandez, investigative reporter.
And then also, later on in the show this afternoon, we'll be joined by former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who delivered the delegates on the floor of the RNC convention from the state of New Hampshire, where he lives and where he's from.
So we have a very exciting show for you tonight.
But with that, I just want to jump right in because we've had a lot of exciting interviews here.
I think that for the sake of starting the show off with a high beat, I want to show you the clip of me luring Jake Tapper yesterday.
So we have a lot of media here.
We have CNN, NBC, MSNBC, all the media that you can imagine is here in Wisconsin.
And so it's interesting because a lot of these people who work for the left-wing media, they in my opinion, are directly responsible for the rhetoric that has inspired this attempted assassination on President Trump's life.
And so I decided to confront CNN and confront Jake Tapper, who is arguably the face of CNN, about his incitement to violence against President Trump and asked him whether or not he would condemn President Joe Biden's comments in which he said that it's time to put Donald Trump in a bullseye.
And of course, those were comments made by Joe Biden about a week or so ago, immediately following the debate.
So let's go ahead and play this clip of me confronting Jake Tapper.
Hi, Jake.
Laura Loomer here.
What do you think about Joe Biden's remarks the other day that it was time for President Trump to be put in the bullseye?
Do you think that Joe Biden should issue an apology for calling for President Trump to be put in a bullseye?
Do you think that CNN's rhetoric and their demonization of Donald Trump over these last eight years has led to people opening fire on President Trump, almost assassinating him on stage?
As one of the biggest offenders and perpetuators of fake news, that's why President Trump calls you fake tapper, Do you have any remorse for your reporting which has led to an attempted assassination on President Trump?
Will you condemn Joe Biden, Jake, calling for President Trump to be put in a bullseye?
Do you condemn any of your fake reporting that has led to an attempted assassination?
I mean, don't you have any remorse, Jake?
You don't have any remorse, Jake.
No remorse for the incitement and the demonization of President Trump at CNN.
The Russia collusion hoax.
All the false accusations of him raping somebody.
The fake indictments.
Here we have Jake Tapper.
He always has something to say on TV, but doesn't want to condemn his rhetoric against President Trump or Joe Biden.
Jake, can you please, please, Jake, can you please condemn what Joe Biden said?
Well, look, Jake Tapper always has so much to say.
He has so much to say on TV, but he doesn't want to condemn Joe Biden when he says put Trump in a bullseye.
Why wouldn't he do it?
I don't understand.
Why won't CNN condemn their rhetoric against President Trump?
Shameful.
And so Savannah Hernandez, who's going to be joining me momentarily, also confronted CNN, and we're looking forward to having her on the show today so that we can also play her clips and talk and we're looking forward to having her on the show today so that we can also play her clips and talk to her about her confrontations with NBC's Kirsten Walker, as well as Jake Tapper and Dana Bash from CNN.
So stay tuned for later on in this episode this afternoon.
We're going to be having her on soon.
But, you know, it's really incredible to me that the media for the last, what is it now, eight to nine years has just been lying non-stop incessantly about President Trump falsely accusing him of the Russia collusion hoax, accusing him of all sorts of crimes, accusing him of being a rapist, accusing him of everything in the book.
None of the things that they have said about him are true.
It's all manufactured outrage.
But this is the type of manufactured outrage that inspired somebody to pick up a gun and try to assassinate him.
And so, I think that we really need to hold the media accountable.
We really need to hold people like Jake Tapper accountable, Rachel Maddow accountable, and all of these leftist pundits who, for years, have really instigated and inspired violence against President Trump.
And it's just really shameful to see that, you know, members of the media don't even have any remorse.
Obviously, this attempted assassination of President Trump has truly shaken the nation to its core, really shaken the world to its core.
And there's a lot of videos that are coming out now that show different angles of people running, people running before shots were fired.
And so I'm just going to go ahead and say it.
I truly believe that this was an inside job.
And I think now that the burden of proof is going to be on the Secret Service and DHS to prove that this Was not an inside job because right now all of the evidence suggests that this really was an inside job and I'm going to be releasing more information today.
I've been busy here at the RNC.
I've already published videos that have gone viral that show people running over a minute and a half before shots were fired outside of the rally, which means that people knew there was a sniper on the roof.
And now we're finding out that, you know, that that counter snipers were inside the building where the shooter climbed on top of in order to try to assassinate President Trump.
And that law enforcement was aware of the shooter for 30 minutes before the shooting took place.
Which means that they allowed for President Trump to get up on that stage while knowing that somebody was on the roof.
Because President Trump had only been speaking for about 20 minutes or so.
So we have some of these videos here.
Let's go ahead and play some of the videos.
Let's go ahead and we're going to play a split screen so that you can see just how much time law enforcement had to neutralize the shooter from the time that a shooter was identified before opening fire.
And then you can see that it matches up line by line with President Trump's speech.
Just so you can see how this wasn't like a random incident where it just happened and police You know, didn't know where this guy was.
They had ample time.
People spotted him.
People were screaming.
There's a guy on the roof with a rifle.
So let's go ahead and play the split screen.
Look, they're all pointing.
Yeah, someone's on top of the roof.
Look.
There he is right there.
Right there.
See him?
He's laying down.
See him?
- Yeah, someone's on top of the roof.
Look, there he is right there.
Right there, you see him?
He's laying down, you see him? - Yeah, he's laying down.
What's happening?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, look.
What's happening?
Wow.
Yeah, look.
There he is.
Because we have millions and millions of people in our country that shouldn't be here.
Dangerous people.
Criminals.
We have criminals.
He's on the roof.
He's locked.
We have people that should not be here.
Right here.
It's much tougher than it is.
It happened to be here. - We were on the last week. - We were the smallest border ever.
In recorded history, we had the best border.
In fact, if they could ever put up a chart, I don't know if they can do it.
Do you guys have access to that chart that I love so much?
You don't mind if I go off teleprompter, do you?
Because these teleprompters are so damn boring.
I try and explain that.
Oh, wow.
You guys are doing it.
They're getting better with time.
My guys.
Take a look at that.
Take a look at the arrow on the bottom.
See the big red red arrow.
Right.
So that's when I left office.
That was the lowest point.
And that comes right from the government services.
Comes right out of Border Patrol.
Take a look at that.
So that arrow is the lowest amount of illegal immigration ever in recorded history into our country.
And then And then the worst president in the history of our country took over, and look what happened to our country!
Probably 20 million people.
And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart.
I've got a chance to be four months old and if you've got one of your decisions, you'll say something.
I hope he's turning this way.
Be careful.
We've got breaking news, we've got breaking news coming in.
- Seems to be Sean Spiner in the truck rally.
- Is he okay? - I need to go live right now.
We are live right now at the Trump rally.
We don't know if President Trump has been shot.
We know he hit the ground.
We do not know if President Trump has been shot.
He's up.
- Good job. - Johns are still continuing to be fired.
He's giving a thumbs up, everybody!
He's given a thumbs up.
the Breaking news right now, this is Vanessa Broussard.
According to Larry Butler, Pennsylvania, we hear shots fired at the rally not 10 to 15 minutes after President Trump arrived.
He hit the ground.
Unheard of yet if he has been hit by gunfire.
Let's go.
We can see the guy down.
We can see the guy down.
I think they hit him because the guy looks dead.
So you can clearly see that ample time pass and it's really sinister when you watch that side-by-side of the people pointing out and And so we'll go ahead, if you couldn't follow along with the side-by-side, we'll play those individual clips for you right now too.
So let's go ahead and play clips number 18 and 19 back-to-back so you can see how much time the police had I mean, they had more time than this.
This is just what people were able to capture.
I'm sure there's more people, too, who have footage on their phones who have not published it or released it to the media yet.
But here's several clips, two clips, that you can clearly see the shooter on the roof and people screaming at law enforcement, people running, leaving the rally frantically before shots were fired.
Which shows you that they should have evacuated the rally and called for President Trump to be removed from the stage before shots were able to be fired.
So let's go ahead and play clips 18 and 19.
On top of the roof, look.
There he is right there.
Right there, see him?
He's laying down, see him?
Yeah, he's laying down.
What's happening?
Because if we do, we're going to make America better.
Yeah, look.
There he is.
Because we have millions and millions of people in our country that shouldn't be here.
Dangerous people.
Criminals.
We have criminals.
He's on the roof!
He's black!
We have people that should not be here.
Right here!
Flat on the roof!
He's getting up now.
He went flat on the roof again!
Probably 20 million people.
You know, that's a little bit old, that show.
That show is a couple of months old.
And if you want to really see something that's said, take a look what happened.
Get the fuck out of my face!
So you can clearly see, you know, that they had ample time.
And what's really scary, too, is the woman in the dress who is in that second clip that you see that's looking into the field and wondering, why are people running away?
That is Margo Martin, who is President Trump's Deputy Communications Director.
President Trump's staff almost got shot by this guy, too.
They're very lucky that more people weren't shot and injured and killed.
Obviously, it's very tragic.
You have Corey Comparate, who followed me on X.
I came to find out after his tragic death.
He followed me on X, and he died.
He was tragically shot in the head.
Two other people were shot.
They were in critical condition and then they were found to be in stable condition.
Corey's family announced yesterday that President Trump called them and expressed his condolences and I can confirm that President Trump will be attending Corey's funeral this week.
I don't want to say when the funeral is going to be because it is private and I want to respect the privacy of the family, although I do know, you know, Where the funeral is going to be and where President Trump will be, but I do not want to release that information.
But what I can release is the fact that that the family is going to be having a public reception open to the public to come and pay their respects in Pennsylvania.
I posted the information on the X account for those interested and that's of course going to take place in on Thursday of this week and so the funeral will be after that.
But very sad and it's just incredible that President Trump is Not only going to the funeral, but also he's going to be having a rally the day after.
So he's not allowing for an attempted assassin to scare him away from having from having rallies.
And this is a man of extreme courage.
I mean, I've never seen somebody so courageous in my life.
And now here at the RNC, we have people here in the audience is chanting fight, fight, fight.
while pumping their fists, because I think we have footage of that too, right?
We have footage of the clip of President Trump putting his fist in the air with blood running down his face after getting shot in the air.
I mean, almost half an inch away, we would have watched President Trump's head explode on live television, not to sound graphic, but we were this close, okay?
We were this close away from watching the end of our country, the end of world peace as we knew it, and also just the end of Donald Trump.
I don't know if you've ever seen someone get shot in the head before.
I've seen videos of it, never seen it in person, but it's not pretty.
We've seen the videotapes of the JFK assassination, and that's really what we would have been looking at.
We would have been looking at a JFK.2.
And we already know that our United States government carries out assassinations of United States presidents.
We already know about what happened to JFK, and I truly believe that the attempted assassination of President Trump was an inside job, and I'm going to be backing up my claims with evidence within the next day or so after I finish posting and I'm going to be backing up my claims with evidence within the next day or so after I finish posting all of these posts and the reports from my findings and information that I believe you and everybody else in the world deserves to see and deserves to know.
So, I hope that by the end of this, not only does the Secret Service Director Kim Cheadle resign, I hope that Alejandro Mayorkas resigns, and I also hope that there's criminal charges filed against these people for being an accessory to attempted murder.
Because I will say that Kim Cheadle is complicit, and Alejandro Mayorkas are complicit in this inside job against President Trump.
And so, I don't really care how inflammatory that sounds, I don't really care who it upsets, because at this point in time, all of the evidence supports my findings, all of the evidence supports the findings that this was an inside job because Kim Sheetal has a responsibility as the Director of the Secret Service to make sure that no threats get pushed forward in the parameters or the perimeters of a United States President, especially during a secured checkpoint.
And we just found out today that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter who almost murdered President Trump and who actually did murder Cory Kamparate, was able to get through Secret Service two times with his rangefinder scope.
Okay, so I'm blaming Jim Cheadle and I don't care if that's inflammatory and I will say that this is an inside job by the Secret Service and we know that we know that DHS Alejandro Mayorkas the Secretary of DHS controls The funding and the sign-off for the additional resources for Secret Service.
And we also know that President Trump's campaign put an additional request in the weeks prior for additional resources for his Secret Service protection.
We just found out yesterday that there was also an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump.
And so why was President Trump denied all of these Secret Service resources when the Iranians are trying to kill him?
When Thomas Matthew Crooks is trying to kill him?
The deep state's trying to kill him.
Okay, this isn't the first time, by the way, someone's opened fire at a Trump rally.
If you recall back in 2015 when President Trump was having a rally in Las Vegas, when he was then candidate Trump, there was somebody with a gun as well who was tackled by Secret Service and luckily nobody was hurt.
It is not the first time that somebody has showed up with a gun to a Trump rally, but it certainly is not something that should happen often.
And a lot of people don't really remember what happened in Nevada several years ago, but I certainly do, and it's unacceptable.
Before we continue with more clips and coverage from the RNC, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of today's episode of Loomer Unleashed, live from the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Colonial Metals Group.
Our sponsor, Colonial Metals Group, has helped me with my goal of protecting my financial future.
Being at the whim of the stock market or the current Biden administration does not make me feel financially safe or secure.
But having a self-directed IRA where I can safely store gold and silver, assets that have stood the test of time, no matter what the economy or the government policies are, makes sense to me.
Colonial Metals Group has helped me create a self-directed IRA where I can have direct access to my assets.
Let the team and experts at Colonial Metals Group help you protect your family's future.
Their level of professionalism and ability to listen make it easy for you to learn everything you need to know about preserving all you've worked for.

All right.
So on the first night of the RNC, we had people just overwhelmingly supporting President Trump.
It's been very emotional here.
Obviously, we saw President Trump has been here in Milwaukee since Sunday evening, and he has attended both nights of the RNC thus far.
We'll be attending tonight as well, the third night, and tomorrow night, the fourth night, which is when he will be delivering his speech that everybody has been waiting to hear.
President Trump, directly after the assassination attempt, reportedly rewrote his entire RNC speech, and so he's going to be focusing his message around topics of unity, so you can look forward to watching that primetime tomorrow night.
I'm sure all the news networks are going to be carrying it live, and I will be on the floor of the RNC convention tonight broadcasting all of it for you, getting video like I have been doing thus far.
But let's go ahead and play the video footage.
We have Uh, clip number 16, the RNC chanting fight.
And of course, people are chanting fight because after President Trump took a bullet to the ear, instead of cowering, he stood up and told them to wait, and he shouted, fight, fight, fight, and he put his fist in the air.
- - Wow. - - Everybody's chanting, "Fight, fight, fight!" - - So, we've seen a lot of scenes like that.
Let's see, we have a lot of different clips that we can go through.
I'm just gonna look at the list here because there's so many, there's so many clips from the different, uh, different RNC events while we've been here.
Let's see.
Oh, after, uh, after President Trump, uh, selected J.D.
Vance as well as his, uh, pick for VP, the, the crowd at the RNC were chanting J.D.' 's name.
So let's go ahead and play clip number 11.
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that Senator J.D. Vance has the overwhelming support of this convention to be the next Vice President of the United States.
Let's hear this please make the following appointment to guest morning for Senator J.D. Vance, his Vice Presidential Nominee.
We should advance.
Thank you.
And God bless America.
Amen.
Thank you.
Thank you. - And if you recall, we actually had Senator J.D.
Vance from the state of Ohio on Lumar Unleashed a couple months ago.
And while J.D.
Vance has arguably been in the past one of the most obnoxious Trump haters, having called President Trump Hitler, referring to him as cultural heroin, saying that Trump supporters are stupid and idiots, I think that J.D.
Vance has now really come around and he is arguably one of the biggest Trump defenders and supporters in the United States Senate.
And, you know, we interviewed him, if you recall, when we were breaking stories and covering the Colorado efforts to take Trump off the ballot in Colorado, which, if successful, would have set precedent all across the country, probably denying Donald Trump the nomination.
The Supreme Court took it up, and on the day of the announcement, which they ultimately found that President Trump could stay on the ballot, JD Vance was only one of three United States Senators who actually showed up to support President Trump.
So I asked him about this and why there were so many Republicans in the United States Senate working against him.
So let's take a look at this previous clip from several months ago.
J.D.
Vance, a little walk down memory lane.
Clip number 10 of J.D.
Vance on Loomer Unleashed saying the Senate was trying to go against Donald Trump.
One of the things that you are in the news for, I mean, look, a lot of Republicans are in the news right now because of this immigration bill.
You're lucky that you're getting good press, though, as opposed to some of your colleagues like Mitch McConnell and Senator Lankford, who should, in my opinion, just resign.
And we'll get into that, of course.
But you actually uncovered what looks to be this kind of secret, underhanded clause That Senate Republicans and Democrats worked on together to shove inside this legislation to pave the way for an impeachment of President Trump during his second term, even when he gets elected in 2024.
So I was showing the memo prior to you coming on tonight, if you can just touch on that.
And whether you think that, you know, we have enough evidence, as is laid out in your memo and this bill itself, To actually say that there's a concerted effort and a deliberate effort by the Senate Republicans to preemptively plan the impeachment of Donald Trump in a second term.
Well, Laura, you and I both know that if the Democrats get the majority of the House, they will impeach Donald Trump because they're obsessed with him and they hate him.
And I unfortunately feel like Senate Republicans just gave them a weapon that they're going to use against the President.
And I absolutely am confident they're going to use that weapon.
So the basic idea is if you throw your mind back to the 2019 articles of impeachment, the argument went something like this, that the Congress had appropriated money that had to be spent on, you guessed it, Ukraine.
This was five years ago.
And if the president didn't spend that money in the exact way that it was supposed to be spent, He had violated the law and that was the impeachable offense.
That's actually what they impeached him on the first time.
Of course, it was ridiculous and it was unconstitutional, but that's what the Democrats do, right?
Now we have a new piece of legislation, and you have Biden administration officials, Laura, going to the Washington Post and bragging that the legislation will tie his hand.
Because it doesn't just appropriate money for Ukraine in 2024, it also appropriates it in 2025.
So if President Trump gets in and conducts diplomacy in a way that's in violation of this appropriation or just decides to actually run foreign affairs as he sees fit because he's the president, they will use this as a weapon against him.
I guarantee it.
Again, it's ridiculous.
It's spurious.
But that's what the Democrats do, and we shouldn't give them more ammunition they already have.
So I think that that's a show of character that he was willing to admit that he's wrong.
And I asked Senator Vance before I even had him on my show, I said, listen, I'm not going to go easy on you.
And I'm going to ask you about your previous comments.
And he said that he's learned a lot.
So all we can do is learn from our mistakes.
And in the sake of it, for the sake of unity, which is what President Trump has been pushing here at this RNC convention, I think it's very important that we give Senator J.D.
Vance a chance.
And so I'm going to be doing everything in my power to support President Trump and his VP pick, J.D.
Vance, because we need to make America great again.
We need to make America strong again.
We need to make America safe again.
And the Trump-Vance ticket is going to make that happen.
So I hope that people can look past any past transgressions.
Look, if I can do it, then you can do it too, because I think that I'm pretty well known for going scorched earth on all of Trump's enemies, and I think that it's worth giving J.D.
Vance a chance.
I can't help but think, though...
You know, speaking of this attempted assassination, it's another one of those Laura Loomer was right moments.
How many of you remember, speaking of a million followers today, I'm sure a lot of you have been following me for a long time, how many of you remember seven years ago when I got arrested in Central Park in New York City for storming the stage of Shakespeare in the Park?
Right?
Remember that?
Remember when I got arrested because I protested the play where they were trying to assassinate President Trump?
And, well, they were saying it was a mock assassination of their Julius Caesar.
But still, it was an incitement to violence and a glorification of violence that was paid for by the taxpayer.
And so, just for the sake of...
Further reminding people how long the left has been glorifying violence and inciting violence and assassination porn against President Trump, I want to go ahead and play this clip of me storming the stage of Julius Caesar, clip number 20 of me protesting and then getting dragged away and arrested by the NYPD.
Because it's very important for you to see how long the Democrats have been doing this.
And unfortunately, their escalations of violence almost manifested into an actual assassination of President Trump.
This last Saturday.
So go ahead and play the clip.
Liberty.
Freedom.
Not for normalization of political violence against the right.
This is unacceptable.
You cannot get off the stage.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to pause.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to pause.
We're going to pause security.
Security please.
You are all garbled!
You are all Nazis like Joseph Goebbels!
This is Goebbels!
You are all Goebbels!
You are inciting terrorists!
The blood of St.
Felice is on your hands!
The blood of St.
Felice is on your hands!
Goebbels would be proud!
Sir!
- I'm gonna have my back.
Goebbels would be proud.
Nazis, you are Nazis.
Goebbels would be proud.
Goebbels would be proud.
Goebbels would be proud. - So as you can see, I warned about this.
I said, stop the normalization of political violence against the right.
You cannot incite violence against the President of the United States.
You are going to get President Trump assassinated.
And they didn't listen.
And the media mocked me.
They laughed at me.
Perhaps we can even pull up some of these articles now.
I know it wasn't part of the show prep, but I'm sure that my producer could easily find some old articles.
And you can see that the way that these people demonized me for years, calling me crazy.
They call me alt-right.
They said I was far-right.
What's so far-right about storming the stage and protesting the calls for assassination of President Trump?
You're not supposed to do that.
You're not even supposed to make jokes about the assassination of the president of the United States.
And so I just think that we need to have severe, extreme accountability in this country for the media.
And they need to be held accountable.
And that's why I chased Jake Tapper at the RNC yesterday, and why I confronted him the way I did, because these people need to be made to feel a sense of shame and remorse for their actions, which have led to people picking up rifles and trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
So, it's truly unacceptable behavior.
When Savannah gets here, we're going to play her clips as well.
And you can see that she also confronted Jake Tapper.
There was another journalist by the name of Taylor Hanson who also confronted Jake Tapper yesterday.
So, poor Jake Tapper.
Fake Tapper, as President Trump likes to call him.
He's having a rough time at the RNC.
He got confronted three times yesterday alone.
So, let's see.
What else do we have?
We have the clip of President Trump yelling, fight, fight, fight.
Let's go ahead and play the clip.
Clip number 23.
number 23.
Savannah's here, I think.
It's pretty incredible.
I mean, that photo too, the photo that was taken, it's iconic.
It's now going to actually be the August cover of Time Magazine.
So, I don't want to say congratulations to President Trump because, well, it's not really a celebratory thing.
But it is great that they're recognizing the fact that he has been triumphant even in the face of political violence.
I guess congratulations are in order because hopefully now the media will tone down their vitriol and their hatred for President Trump and people will open their eyes and realize how their violence rhetoric and their anti-Trump propaganda has led to people becoming hypnotized by hatred and political violence.
Another interesting interview that I had here at the RNC, another congressperson who I was able to speak with, and this person is a great member of Congress, I helped him get elected, and he's a friend of mine, but also too, he really is a true ally of President Trump, is Corey Mills from the state of Florida.
And so I caught up with Corey to ask him, because I know that You know, his background being in special forces, he's carried out several operations around the world rescuing Americans who have been held hostage in foreign countries.
He really is a badass.
And so I wanted to ask him about the security failure and what he, as somebody who has a background in special operations and, you know, has served our country, what he plans on doing to get some accountability regarding this attempted what he plans on doing to get some accountability regarding this attempted assassination and hold the Secret Service and DHS and the agencies responsible, accountable for whatever it is that happened, whether it's whatever they whether it's whatever they want to call it.
They want to call it a security fault, a security blunder.
I'm calling it an inside job.
And so take a listen to what Cory Mills had to say about the July 13th committee, very similar to the J6 committee, that he wants to head up and chair to get to the bottom of what happened on that ominous day, July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Alright, so I'm here with Congressman Cory Mills from Florida, outside of the RNC convention, and you've been extremely outspoken.
You're one of the only members of Congress who actually had all six of the balls to go on live national television and call this attempted assassination of President Donald Trump what it is, an inside job.
Can you explain further why you think this is an inside job?
Well, just to clarify, I don't think it's an inside job.
I'm sick that we can't go ahead and eliminate any of the potential possibilities for being in this investigation.
I think that we have to identify that.
There's so many things that have developed that are feeding past megaliths.
I think that, you know, mallets would be one thing to look at, or anything.
But when we talk about perimeters, that's a satellite you're advancing by your telefinance.
When you talk about a building 160 yards outside, perfectly adjacent to the stage, that is a very obvious shooting platform, and so I don't understand how that's not secure.
When you talk about the fact there's no emergency comms channel set up by local police, by Secret Service details, as well as the other agencies, That baffles me when they say that there was an officer who came to the rooftop, had a rifle pointed at him.
Why would he call, shoot on the roof, shoot on the roof, and allow the defense to look down?
Look, the problem for me is this.
I am one of the guys in the military that's always a what-if guy.
And so when you paint every scenario of possibility, you paint every scenario of potential, you need to investigate up to its entirety.
And the FBI is not the right ones to do that.
And we know that they were already spying on 287,000 Americans who had a violation of FISA.
When you talk about the fact that they have political input into this, when you think about what James Cohn knew, what Peter Strzok, what Lisa Page had done to the President during his time in Russia, Russia, Russia, I just think that we need to look at every single possible scenario to investigate the local law enforcement, we need to investigate the FBI, and we need to determine whether or not this is truly negligence, which I think that Director Chito needs to leave immediately regardless.
Or whether or not, as I said before when I'm talking about inside jobs, whether somebody knew about this and Because we're now seeing reports that the counter snipers were actually inside the building that the shooter had climbed on top of.
We're finding out now that they actually knew about the shooter 30 minutes prior to the shooting.
And President Trump had only been on stage for about 20 minutes.
I just want to be clear, that's what I mean by inside job.
But people knowing about that, and a lot of people are kind of nervous to say that, Do you plan on calling for any kind of special hearing?
I actually have already texted Speaker Johnson.
I've asked to set together a trade fair to myself today.
Isn't there one set for July 22nd?
I'm not aware of that, but I'm actually just trying to talk and learn more about this.
But the bottom line is that we have to look at all potential outcomes.
We have to look at the investigation as an entirety.
I think Congress is the right one to go and establish it in a bipartisan way.
But I also think that we need to talk about why words matter.
It's the same thing that occurred when President Trump said go home peacefully.
That was enough to incite violence.
But you've got people like Max Watersville saying, you know, get in the face of your elected officials.
You've got things like what President Biden has said, where he said we need to put a bullseye.
So I think that we need to start understanding that if that was enough to warrant J-6, then why doesn't this warrant J-13?
Well, absolutely.
And I don't really want to hear any other Democrats talk about J-6 anymore, given the fact that J-13 actually was violent.
Hopefully, they'll have as much emphasis and focus and obsessive-compulsive focus on J-13 as they do with J-6.
And there's calls for her to step down.
Great.
Thank you, Congressman.
I really appreciate it.
We'll see you later.
- See you later, thank you. - So I think it's remarkable We certainly need more accountability in Congress, but it's remarkable that Corey Mills is talking about establishing a J13 committee.
And I don't want to hear the Democrats ever talk about, oh, this insurrection, and oh, violence, political violence on J6, right?
January 6th.
They love talking about January 6th.
They're so obsessed with January 6th.
January 6th was nothing compared to J13, the events on July 13th that almost resulted in the death of President Donald Trump and did result in the death of Corey Camperate.
So I'm looking forward to seeing Corey's investigation and the formation of this committee.
I see today that James Comer of the House Oversight Committee has also subpoenaed Kim Cheadle, the Director of the Secret Service, and so she's being ordered to come in before Congress on July 22nd, which is next week, so hopefully we'll get some answers out of that as well.
And today, I actually had the opportunity to interview Mayor John David Longo, who is a mayor in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And so, he was actually there at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania with his wife, who he told me is pregnant.
He said they just found out his wife is pregnant, they decided to go celebrate, go to the Trump rally.
He actually got to meet President Trump, and he said that He was talking to President Trump backstage, and he actually got to participate in the pre-programming before President Trump took the stage.
And he was able to give a speech, and President Trump congratulated him on his speech, and he was showing me all these video clips today.
I think we have some of them, too.
We can show some of those clips.
But take a listen to what Mayor John David Longo of Butler, Pennsylvania, had to say about that ominous day when he attended the rally.
The day of the shooting on July 13th.
Hey everybody, Laura Loomer here.
I'm currently reporting from the RNC Convention, and with me today is Mayor John David Longo, who is the mayor of Slippery Rock in Butler County, Pennsylvania, which is the location of the Trump rally in Pennsylvania where an assassin opened fire, tragically killing Fire Chief Cory Camparate, injuring two others, and almost murdering President Donald Trump.
So thank you so much for joining me today.
Thank you for having me here.
Yeah, so I wanted to interview you and kind of have you walk us through the events at the rally that day because it turned out to be a really exciting moment for you and your wife.
You told me that you and your wife got to meet with President Trump and you had a really nice conversation with him and you actually opened up the programming for the rally.
Yeah, so I came with my wife.
It was about 11.30.
It was a great day.
We were shaking hands and hugging and kissing everyone.
You know, there's a ton of camaraderie and fun in a Trump rally.
It's almost like a rock concert.
So we were enjoying that on our way.
I headed backstage to get ready for the pre-program.
I came out.
I was honored to give a speech and then lead the rally in the Pledge of Allegiance.
And it was just a fantastic moment.
Listening to, of course, the other speakers.
Everybody was pumped up and ready for the President.
Shortly thereafter, they took my wife and I backstage in order to get ready to meet and have a conversation with President Trump.
And we did just that.
The President was gracious and he was kind.
He even went so far as to say that he had listened to my speech in the air on the way.
And I actually confirmed that that was true whenever I saw a picture of everybody watching it on Trump Force One.
I realized he really had watched it.
He confirmed it a second time whenever he came out on stage.
And once again, he said, good job.
So, again, you know, I was feeling elated.
Everybody was having a great time.
What ends up happening, of course, as you all know, is that this lunatic decides to do violence against President Trump and the rally goers.
And being a speaker, I was seated with my wife and my family members, along with the other speakers, just to the right of President Trump, nearest the stage.
If you were President Trump, you would have looked at your 3 o'clock and have seen me Sean Parnell and his wife, my wife, Dave McCormick, Congressman Muser and Congressman Mike Kelly.
We're all standing there supporting the president.
There were reports that the shooter had been identified by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before he opened fire.
And as we know, President Trump had only been on stage for a short while before shots were fired.
Did you see anybody panicked in the front row?
Uh, see people talking about a man with a gun or hear whispers of this because video footage that has been released shows that at least two minutes before the shots were fired, people were running frantically leaving the rally and screaming, there's a man with a rifle, there's a man with a rifle, which means that law enforcement had over two minutes to neutralize this guy.
Well, we found out it's over 30 minutes because they knew about him for over 30 minutes and Trump had only been on stage for about 20 minutes.
So let me say this, I spent most of my time that day backstage getting ready for the pre-program and then of course for the meet-and-greet right before.
So I was toward the end of the line to meet President Trump, so I was only in my seat for maybe 10 minutes, 15 minutes before he came out to greet the crowd.
So I didn't have a lot of time to observe anything around me, and nor was I in a position to hear what was going on in the back rows of the rally.
So now all of this is coming out, and I understand, of course, that this was the case.
And I just can't understand, of course, how that could have possibly been the case.
How was it that we could let this happen?
And I wish I had an answer.
It seems to me that it's obvious that there was a gross negligence here, and I don't know that that even covers it, right?
But it's just such an unfortunate thing because somebody lost their life.
You know, Corey lost his life because you have a ton of individuals who were injured.
I know a fellow Marine was injured.
He just came out of a medically induced coma.
And you told me that Corey was actually about 15 feet behind you, and so unfortunately for you and your wife, you actually saw him dead on the ground with a bullet in his head.
So, you know, at first I didn't see the shot, just to be clear.
I didn't see him get shot.
It wasn't until I raised up from my position, shielding my wife, that I saw that Corey had been shot.
And it was just an awful thing, of course.
And my heart, I have to say, my heart goes out to that family.
I'm so sorry that he came with his family and friends looking to hear a message of inspiration and hope from President Trump and lost his life because of it.
Have you spoken to his family since the shooting?
No, no and you know it would be an honor to speak with them but right now I think it's important that we all try to give them as much privacy as possible and allow them to grieve in what surely is most likely the hardest time in their lives.
And a lot of people don't know this but we were talking earlier and you actually tried to save Corey's life and then you realized that it was too late.
No, so what actually happened was my wife was asking me to help.
She noticed that Cory was shot, but unfortunately it was too late.
He was no longer with us and that was a very serious injury that I'm not sure anybody could have survived.
It's just an awful scene.
Awful.
Are you going to be attending the public reception that is being held on Thursday in Pennsylvania?
I know that the family just announced that there's going to be a public reception where people can pay their respects, and then I know that there's a private funeral on Friday.
I will not be in attendance.
Like I said, I want to give the family as much space as possible to grieve, but if they were to listen to this interview, I would hope that they understand that my prayers and the prayers of all of the Super Rock community next door to them are with them, and our thoughts are with Corey right now.
And we saw reports yesterday, we saw a Facebook post from Helen, Cory's widow, that President Trump called her to express condolences and said that he's going to be calling her in the days and weeks ahead.
We also learned today that President Trump will be attending the funeral at the end of this week for Cory.
Do you plan on attending the funeral?
No, ma'am.
Again, you know, I just want to make sure that I give them as much space to grieve as possible and make sure that the friends and family who are closest to Cory have the opportunity to spend time with their families so that they can comfort one another.
And then lastly, we've seen that the Director of Secret Service, Kim Cheadle, is blaming local law enforcement instead of taking responsibility for this tragedy.
And of course we know that federal barriers and perimeters are the responsibility of the United States Secret Service when They're doing a presidential detail.
How do you feel as the mayor of a town in Butler County that the Secret Service director is blaming your local law enforcement?
I saw yesterday that the attorney, the district attorney I believe it was, in Butler County said that she needs to stop blaming local law enforcement and take responsibility because it's the responsibility of Secret Service.
Yeah, you know, ultimately I would agree that local law enforcement always defers to individuals in the Secret Service, CIA, FBI, etc., especially with an event of that magnitude, right, that size with President Donald J. Trump.
So, I certainly don't appreciate local law enforcement being, or bearing the brunt, rather, of the blame.
I do think that individuals in this current administration right now really need to take a look at how it is that they played a part in this failure.
And what does healing look like for Butler County going forward?
What do you foresee in the near future or the coming weeks?
Because I'm sure there's a lot of people who are going to be suffering from post-traumatic stress or once it really sets in.
Yeah, so I do know that they're holding a candlelight vigil for Corey, and so I would urge anybody who's in the area to please go and Google that to see information about how they can attend.
I think that's a great part of the healing process.
Of course, folks are going to come together to celebrate his life.
You know, in the coming days and weeks, I think it's important to remember, and I hope that folks remember, that Butler County, although we're talking about it right now for this awful thing, has so much good going for it, and there was a lot of good that was shown that day.
I mean, I saw so many people stepping up to help one another, folks who were injured, folks who were passing out from heatstroke and from the, you know, the horror and the excitement of the moment, and so I think that it's important in order to To heal that we focus on on those good things and to celebrate Cory's life and to continue to pray That's what I would say.
Just continue to pray.
It's been a comfort to me to draw nearer to God in this moment When it's almost impossible to be consoled for something like this then who better than the Almighty to do that?
And then lastly, I know it might be an inflammatory question, but given the information that's now coming out with counter snipers being inside the building while the shooter was on the roof, them identifying the shooter 30 minutes prior, which is prior to President Trump taking the stage, do you think that there needs to be an investigation as to whether or not this was an inside job, especially given the fact that the United States government has a history of assassinating U.S.
presidents?
Well, I'll say this.
I mean, again, it was a gross negligence, so certainly I hope that all of the right people are asking the right questions and making sure that they're getting down to the bottom of understanding just how it is that we could have allowed for this to happen.
Great, well thank you so much.
Where do people follow you?
So you can find me on X, Facebook, Instagram.
Typically, if you type in Mayor L-O-N-G-O, you'll be able to find me and hope to connect with you sometime in the near future.
Well, we're very thankful that you and your wife are safe and we thank you for your heroic actions and thinking of others in a time of tragedy and extreme danger.
So, thank you so much.
Thank you for having me on, ma'am.
Thanks.
So it's definitely a very touching interview, and you can see that the mayor obviously was very emotional about it because, as he said, he saw Corey Camperace's dead body on the ground and his wife was, the mayor's wife that is, was telling her husband, please go help him, please go help him, and he had to tell his wife, I think he's just gone.
So those images are going to be burned into people's minds forever.
It's very sad what people had to witness.
I can't imagine the type of grief and the type of pain that Corey's family is going through right now.
But I know that President Trump is going to be attending the funeral at the end of this week, and there's a public reception open to the public in Pennsylvania on Thursday where people can go and pay their respects.
But the mayor, as you heard during that interview, He certainly thinks that there's a lot of questions at hand that people need to answer.
And he also agrees with the district attorney in Butler who said that the Secret Service needs to take responsibility for this.
Because if you saw the director's statements and also her interview this week, she was blaming local law enforcement.
When clearly it's the responsibility of the United States Secret Service to protect the perimeters and also make sure that the presidents or former presidents are all protected.
So I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more updates into this investigation, especially next week when the director of Secret Service is brought before the House Oversight Committee in that subpoena.
And every single day, more information and very disturbing facts are trickling out about the shooter, how he was able to bring in rangefinder scopes through Secret Service, how he was on top of the roof while snipers were inside.
Very disturbing and as I said before, I'm not afraid to say it, I believe it was an inside job and I believe that when all is said and done, the evidence is going to show us that this was in fact an inside job.
And as I said before, it's not the first time the United States government has tried to assassinate and they have been successful in assassinating presidents before.
But with that, I wanna welcome my guest, Savannah Hernandez, an independent reporter with Turning Point USA Action.
So Savannah, you do fabulous work.
We ran into each other here.
We run into each other everywhere.
Just, we don't even plan it.
We don't, I swear to God, we do not plan these interactions.
And whether it's in New York, chasing migrants, or whether it's here at the RNC, or where else have we run into each other?
Everywhere, Laura.
I mean, anywhere that somebody needs to be confronted, I feel like you or I or...
Yeah, it's always the women, right?
Where's the men?
Where's everybody else?
No, but really, it seems like Savannah and I are the only reporters that are out here doing this type of work, and then when people see Savannah and I getting millions of views on our videos, which we do, I mean, your videos out here this week have been phenomenal, then other people fly in and they're interested in also covering these events.
But you've had some really viral interactions since you've been here at the RNC.
We both Have taken advantage of confronting the leftist media while they've been here and I was just talking about the attempted assassination and one of the most disturbing things in the aftermath was the reporting by the left-wing media.
We saw CNN described it as President Trump falling as if he had some type of a medical emergency unrelated to being shot.
You saw NBC call it popping noises as opposed to gunshots and attempted assassination and you took it upon yourself to confront Kirsten Walker of NBC News who Sure, Laura, so just like you talked about, this is the perfect opportunity for us to really hold the media's feet to the fire, right?
You and I are always here on behalf of the American people, and we all saw the response from the media to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and it was absolutely disgusting.
I think every American really felt like the media were traitors that day because they did not accurately report what happened.
I mean, if this was Joe Biden in this situation, they would have at least put alleged assassination attempt, right?
But we didn't even get that for Donald Trump.
The media was trying to downplay this.
They were trying to cover it up in any way that they could.
And it was an insult to the American public.
So I really wanted to be here and confront the leftist media because on top of the downplaying, as you know as well, it is their rhetoric that has led us to this point in our country.
It is their reporting, it is their fake news, it is their propaganda that has raised political tensions to the point where we had leftists mourning that the shooter missed President Donald Trump.
So, I think it's very important to hold their feet to the fire and watching them squirm and, more importantly, have nothing to say is really telling.
Because, again, Laura, if somebody came and confronted either of us about something that they felt we reported incorrectly, I think that you and I would either respond or at least be able to justify why we have reported on or said what we said.
You know, if someone came up to you and said, Laura, why were you so mean to the mainstream media?
We are trying to be united.
We would talk to them.
We have been confronted.
I mean, you and I both have been confronted, whether it's outside of the Trump trial or whether it's in New York City, we both have been confronted and asked questions about our reporting.
You used to work at InfoWars, you used to be an InfoWars contributor, and I can't help but recall the times when you and I have both been at the forefront of exposing this political violence against Trump.
Whether it was me storming the stage of the Shakespeare in the Park play, and we just highlighted that clip for which I was arrested.
But at the same time that I stormed the stage of Shakespeare in the Park, one of the things that I chanted while I was getting escorted off stage and dragged away by NYPD was CNN is ISIS.
Because at the time, and you were working for Infowars at this time, Alex Jones had started this campaign to highlight the domestic terrorism and incitement of violence against President Trump by CNN.
And of course, they had CNN contributor and employee Kathy Griffin with the ISIS decapitation photo of President Trump that earned her a visit by Secret Service.
And so, you know, we've been warning people, you and me and others, we have been warning people for over seven years now.
That this type of rhetoric was going to eventually reach a boiling point.
But I want to go ahead and play the clip.
The first clip, there's two.
The first clip of you last night ambushing CNN.
It was brilliant.
As they were leaving the building, they thought that they were safe.
They thought that nobody was going to be there.
They waited to be the last people to leave, but Savannah Hernandez caught up with them and she ambushed them.
So let's go ahead and play the clip.
Hi y'all I was just wondering um you guys refused to report on the incompetence of Joe Biden and I was just wondering if you guys were told not to report on that or if you guys really were that ignorant the entire American public for some reason was able to see that Joe Biden ...was grossly incompetent and that he's been in cognitive decline for a long time.
However, you guys just started reporting this.
Dana, can I ask you about this?
Dana, you're a respected reporter.
Why is it that you guys just started to report on the decline of Joe Biden?
Don't you feel like you have a responsibility to the public not to lie to them about the cognitive decline of Joe Biden?
I'm here with CNN.
I can't get very close to them because their security guard is blocking me.
But we've got Jake Tapper here.
We've got Chris Wallace.
We also have Dana Bash.
Now, I've been asking them why they have been lying to the American public about the mental decline of Joe Biden.
None of you guys would like to respond to that at all?
No?
Dana, you're a very respected journalist.
Jake, not so much respected, but people listen to you still.
Would any of you guys like to respond to Joe Biden's cognitive decline and why you guys lied to the American people about it for so long?
Can you please take your hands off of me?
So there you guys go, that's the media.
They refuse to answer the questions of the American people.
So as you can see in that clip, CNN's security got pretty handsy with you.
I thought that we believe all women, right?
So maybe you should file a claim against CNN, the network that also was responsible for perpetuating the lies that President Trump was a rapist and that President Trump sexually assaults women, that he puts his hands on women, that he encourages a culture of violence against women.
We could sit here for an hour, Laura.
We could sit here for an hour.
And go over.
Every single headline, but then they literally have a security guard put their hands on you.
And I'm just so sick of it, because every single time any of us confront any of these people, it's always like a male security guard that puts his hands on us.
And it's like, it's happened to me a lot, it's happened to you, but I think it's just out of control that we've reached this point in time where security guards are actually putting their hands on women.
But you have another clip as well, you confronted Kirsten Welker.
I think this one was actually my favorite, even more than the CNN clip, because she just looked like, I don't know.
Mortified.
She looked mortified to see you and then she had this look on her face where she just couldn't... These people, what's so funny about it is when you confront them, they just have this very stunned look on their face.
So they love talking shit.
They love talking shit on TV.
Oh yeah.
And they will open their mouth and be Mr. Tough Guy all day long when they're in their little studio protected from the public.
But as soon as anybody asks them a question, they freak out and they just can't talk.
So let's go ahead and play your clip of you confronting Kirsten Walker of Meet the Press.
Excuse me, Kristen, I have a question.
NBC reported that when Trump was assassinated, attempted assassination, it was popping noises that was initially reported.
Would you like to respond to that?
No?
Alright, y'all, this is Savannah Hernandez and this is actually Kristen Welkner right behind me of NBC News, the exact same network that reported after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump that it was just popping noises.
Kristen, would you like to say anything?
No?
Would anybody apart of NBC like to say anything about your faulty reporting?
Not at all?
Okay.
So that's your mainstream media, ladies and gentlemen.
And we have CNN here, we have MSNBC, we have NBC.
So this week I'm really going to try to ask all of these media members what their response is to their networks and this faulty reporting.
So did anybody from NBC say anything to you?
I mean, they didn't put their hands on you, it looks like.
They were a little bit less handsy than CNN, but I'm guessing that she never got back to you.
And you know what, Laura?
The CNN security guards were probably just shocked and horrified because you had confronted Jake Tapper first earlier in the day.
And then I think Taylor Hanson got them while they were leaving earlier.
So I think that they were a little shook because they probably thought it was a coordinated ambush because I was aware of myself, and then Taylor, and then I saw your clip, and then you told me that somebody else also confronted them too.
Yeah, Jonathan Cho, one of my colleagues, also confronted them as well.
And that's all we know of.
I mean, there could have been other people as well that we don't know of, because who knows?
Who knows if other people confronted them?
Yeah, but I mean, again, I think these are the exact questions that the American public has for the media.
And Laura, I just want to congratulate you on getting to 1 million today.
I think that's incredible.
And I want to highlight that because these media members, they cannot compete with independent journalists.
And the reason why you have a million followers right now is because you have boldly told the American people the truth.
Four years.
You were censored for such a long time.
We mentioned InfoWars.
I remember producing Alex's shows, Owen's shows, and having you on, and it seemed like for the longest time, you were kind of stuck in this niche, you know, censorship bubble.
But now that you've been unleashed, you hit a million.
You're competing with CNN and MSNBC.
You're not backed by billions of dollars.
I see the time and effort that you put into your work.
So just, you know, everyone watching on Rumble, please give Laura the, you know, credit that she's due, because you It's just hilarious to see CNN try to compete with someone like you, Lauren.
Well, I appreciate it, and it's been interesting, too, because I've been here in the media pool, and you've probably seen it, too.
I've come to meet some of these different mainstream reporters, and some of them have come up to me, actually, and I won't name names because I don't want to get any of them in trouble, but to my surprise, some of them, not Jake Tapper and not Dana Bash, of course, and not Kirsten, But some of these more mainstream people who people would recognize have actually come up to me and said they like my work.
So maybe there's some secret Trump supporters on some of these mainstream media networks and they're not allowed to do anything or post anything without going through legal or red tape and so of course we're going to be beating them at their own game.
And I think that deep down inside a lot of them are very jealous.
They may not ever admit it.
I think that they envy us because they wish that they could do what we do.
Absolutely.
But they have to call in to their producer and say, OK, we just saw this.
Are we allowed to post this?
Can we post this interview?
Can we do this?
And by the time that we've already produced 10 stories or 15 reports online and gotten 20 million views on our reports, they're still waiting to hear back from corporate about whether or not they can post something, right?
I mean, I posted a clip this morning that I was able to obtain from the hospital that was recorded of President Trump walking in and immediately arriving.
Nobody had ever seen this footage before.
I posted it.
It gets 10 million views on X. I got contacted from all the mainstream media networks.
Oh, where did you see this?
Oh, are you sure this is a real clip?
Oh, you know, can we utilize your clip?
It's like, OK, this is why you guys are never going to beat us, because you spend hours trying to verify something that's clearly verifiable.
I mean, clearly you see it's the motorcade coming in, right?
It's it's they're lucky that they get funding from the networks because as we've seen the print media is going out of business and it's because everything now revolves around social media and that's why it was so criminal what happened to me and you and others and Alex and Owen but because if it's nice that I have a million followers and I'm grateful for it but honestly if I had not been censored over the last six years that I was censored I'd probably have five million followers right now if not more.
Oh, absolutely.
Just on Twitter alone.
I mean, not to mention my Instagram and my Facebook that was taken away from me at the time I was banned from Instagram permanently in 2019.
I had 500,000 followers.
Oh, wow.
I didn't even know this.
That's what I'm saying, Laura.
You've been doing incredible work for so long.
And you too, but you've also been censored.
What like almost how many followers on true social like 400,000 or something like that really close?
We just hit half a million today on Twitter or on X which has been great, and I'm excited about it.
Congratulations.
Thank you, but you also have a ton on truth And so that think about like if you hadn't been censored on these other platforms because I don't think you ever permanently banned Maybe you were correct me if I'm wrong for two years from X I was I was.
But if you had not been criminally banned for two years, imagine what you'd be at right now, especially because your videos always exceed over a million views.
Thank you, Laura.
And honestly, too, I think it's so great.
You'd probably be close to a million, too.
We're going to get there.
We're going to get there.
And I think that, more than anything, I'm just grateful every day that we have X because, again, like with Donald Trump's assassination attempt, we are seeing so many videos come out from not even journalists, right?
Just regular citizens who sensed that something was wrong.
They were filming.
They had the natural inclination to be like, hey, maybe we should be focusing in on that.
And we're seeing all of those videos.
We, the people, are able to start piecing together what's been going on.
I mean, think about this, Laura.
CNN reporting that Donald Trump fell down.
The Secret Service director coming out and saying that they did the best that they could do.
That there was nothing that they could do because there was a sloped roof.
Yeah, sloped roof that the FBI climbed on top of with a hose yesterday to wipe away all the evidence, right?
Yeah.
Active crime scene and they're just gonna put a bunch of water all over it.
So it's so slippery and so slopey.
And I posted a video today, a real video of a cow on top of a sloped roof.
I saw that.
It's a real video and a farmer actually gave an interview about how their cow got up on the roof.
It's a real video, it's not photoshopped.
If a cow can get on a sloped roof and a cow that weighs, you know, hundreds of pounds can navigate a sloped roof, why can't a trained sniper navigate a sloped roof?
Well, the highest levels of our government are filled with idiots, Laura, so that's probably why.
Or people who just hate Donald Trump so much that they hope that he does get assassinated.
Thank God it didn't actually happen.
But again, I'm glad that we were able to see videos like that because if it was only the mainstream media who was allowing us to see what was going on and dictating that narrative, do you think we ever would have even seen this video of the evidence being washed away?
No, we wouldn't. - No, and that's the thing about social media is ever since Elon Musk has taken over X, I really do think that people have really been empowered to break through false narratives And now, I mean, I don't think that the community note system is really that accurate.
It needs some work.
It certainly needs some work.
But it now allows you to get accurate information and also to fact check the media in real time.
And sometimes even Elon Musk jumps in and calls out the media for their lies, too.
Yeah.
When you compare this election season to the 2020 election season when people were being banned for calling out, you know, the China virus and vaccines and lockdowns and voter fraud, I think that we have a lot more transparency in our country now.
It's not perfect, but people also now have the ability to maximize their full potential and not have stolen opportunities because money comes and goes and it'd be nice to make more money always.
But I think the worst part about all the censorship And all of the deplatforming and debanking that so many independent journalists like us have been subjected to was stolen potential.
Because you can always make more money.
You could win the lottery tomorrow.
You could, you know, become poor and become rich overnight.
Money comes and goes, but you can never get back the opportunity that was stolen from you.
Absolutely.
And I think that's what it's all about, right?
Like you and I are putting the blood, sweat and tears into being on the ground for the people because neither of us are in it for the money.
We're here for the people.
We're here for the truth.
Exactly.
That shines through.
And again, that's why you're so popular.
That's why Laura Loomer Unleashed has been such a powerhouse over this just this past year.
And I'm really excited to see how we're going to be able to report on the 2024 election, because it is going to be so much different than four years ago when censorship was so heavy, when you couldn't even, like you just said, talk about the vaccine, when you had people getting fired because they refused to take it.
So I think we're just in a completely different place politically.
The mindset is different.
You know, even seeing Donald Trump come out at the RNC for night one was just such a powerful moment.
And I think a lot of Americans after Saturday, really waking up to where we're at as a country and what needs to happen for us to actually get back to a place of normalcy and just taking our country back.
I Absolutely.
Is there anything that you're working on right now?
Any special projects or anything that you want to promote before we get to our next guest tonight?
Absolutely.
I'm working on border coverage right now.
I'm looking at going to Boston, of course covering New York because The border, you know, Donald Trump can come in and close it and start to try to mitigate this crisis, but we still have 10 million illegal immigrants that are fundamentally changing American cities.
So I'm really focused in on that, especially ahead.
Well, just under Joe Biden, there's about 60 million, but it's 10 million under Joe Biden that we know of.
But yes, I don't want to correct you, but 10 million under Joe Biden.
But I think right now, like the number of illegals in our country, it's probably about 60 to 65 million.
See, and I'm glad that you added that, actually, too, because I think people really, like, get honed in on, okay, the past four years, but like you said, this has been a really big issue for a long time.
But even the Republican Party uses that 10 million number.
They've been using it since the 80s with Reagan.
Yeah.
And it's like, it doesn't make any sense, and the numbers actually show.
It's always 10 million.
It's always 10.
Yeah, exactly.
I think that they just don't want people to have like the sticker shock, right?
But no, it's actually close to 65 million, which means that one in five Americans is now an illegal alien.
And we see that in regards to how our country has changed.
It's remarkable, like you just said.
So, I'm going to be focusing in on that.
Go follow me on Rumble, Savannah Hernandez.
Go follow me on AXSAP Says.
That's where I do all my live reporting.
And, you know, catch me and Laura on the ground.
We just always seem to be together here, kind of.
We ran into each other.
It's so funny.
I was covering the border too, and I was out there covering the Trump trial with Judge Marshawn, and I get this notification that there's all these, you know, illegal aliens outside of City Hall, and I just jump into the middle of it, and we took this photo where, you know, Savannah and I took a selfie, and there were a few other people there too, and it's like, oh yeah, are we in Africa or are we in New York right now?
Because they're literally, like, migrants.
Illegal aliens, right?
Migrants from Africa.
And they all said they were from Africa.
It's not like we were... People said, oh, it's so racist.
It's so awful.
How could you say that?
It's not like we just saw a bunch of black people and we're like, hey, we're in Africa, you know?
Yeah.
It's like, no, that's where they're from.
They should be here.
There were literally a thousand... And that's not even an exaggeration.
A thousand African illegal aliens in the middle of City Hall just demanding resources.
And so...
Oh, and my producer just reminded me, too.
Maybe we have that video.
I don't know if we can find it.
That video was my favorite video that came out of that trip, Laura.
I saw this, people with 8th Street, and I was like, Laura, what is this?
How did you find this?
Savannah shows up, and I'm like, oh hey!
And we run into each other there.
And I'm doing my report on the side of the street, and then all of a sudden I notice the name of the street behind me.
Where these illegal aliens, these people from Africa, were stationed.
And I kid you not, the street was actually called People with AIDS Plaza.
So all of the African illegal aliens gathered to demand resources as illegal aliens on People with AIDS Plaza.
And you can see the sign.
I think my producer can find the video.
We weren't planning on showing it, but I guess since you brought it up.
It's actually so funny.
And I wasn't trying to make a joke or anything but it just really was people with AIDS plaza.
That's just modern day America in 2024.
Which is kind of funny, but also, too, it's kind of ironic that where all of the African illegals gathered, because, I mean, Africa is the hub of AIDS, and I'm not saying that every African has AIDS, but, you know, look, a lot of these illegal aliens are bringing diseases to our country, and New York City and New York City and Chicago have seen an increase in sexually transmitted diseases, too.
Yeah.
And measles outbreak.
And previously eradicated diseases.
Exactly.
Previously eradicated diseases, like polio and measles and other things like tuberculosis and typhoid fever and all these different things.
But, again, like, we're seeing a rise of HIV and AIDS in these cities, and I wouldn't doubt it for one second if it's because of all the illegal aliens.
Laura, there's a lot going on in New York City that's probably contributing to that.
We could list off here.
I think we have the clip, so let's go ahead and play this.
It's real.
This is not a joke.
This is real.
This is the name of the city, and Savannah and I ran into each other that day, too.
So, People with AIDS Plaza.
Go ahead and play the clip.
Hey, everybody.
Laura Loomer here.
I am currently standing at People with AIDS Plaza in front of City Hall in the middle of Manhattan, New York City.
And I wanted to show you what the city has devolved into.
I was covering the Trump trial this morning, and then I got an alert that there was a swarm of people in front of City Hall.
And when I rushed over here, it was about a five-minute walk from the courthouse, I encountered about 1,000 African Islamic invaders These are so-called migrants who are seeking asylum and refugee status.
And they were here today to try to, in their words, right, raise awareness about how they need more assistance.
And when I said what type of assistance, they want work permits, they want to get food, they want more money.
And, you know, the question is, why do you feel that you're so entitled?
Why do these people that are coming across our border illegally feel that they are so entitled to our taxpayer money?
There was a report out this week that said from now between 2024 and 2025, the city of New York is actually going to be spending $12 billion to take care of the illegal alien crisis here.
And they don't seem to care about the burden that that's going to be putting on the taxpayers here.
But here I am today, right?
It's a beautiful day here at People with AIDS Plaza, and we're gonna take you inside the park right now, inside People with AIDS Plaza, so that you can see all of these invaders from Africa. - So yeah, so that you can see all of these invaders from Africa. - So yeah, People with AIDS Plaza.
You know, Laura, people always say that the movie Idiocracy mirrors modern day America, and I wish that wasn't true, but it actually is.
And you know, anytime like a Democratic official opens their mouth, true.
Anytime you go to New York to people with AIDS plaza, absolutely true.
Every single time Joe Biden tries to walk upstairs, that seems to be true.
So, you know, welcome to America in 2024, everybody.
No, absolutely.
So where can people follow you if they want to see your work?
You're on X. You said you're also... where else?
On Rumble, YouTube.
Go follow me there.
But primarily Rumble and X, obviously, are going to be the best platforms to see my work.
Laura, thank you so much for having me.
People can subscribe to you, too, on X, right?
Yes, they can.
Apparently, my subscribe button works.
You work for Turning Point, but of course I think that a lot of these independent journalists are worth a lot more than what they're paid.
I mean, I have no idea what you're making, so who knows what you're making over at Turning Point.
But either way, if you support her work, you should be supporting her by subscribing to her account on X with a monthly donation.
So what were you going to say?
I was just going to say thank you and I always told myself that I will have made it as a solid journalist once I get on Laura Luna's show.
So here we go guys, my career has officially started.
You've been a solid journalist for a long time, you do phenomenal work, you do great work, great job and I'm not only proud of the work that you're doing but I'm also proud to call you a friend.
You've always been loyal and you've always been supportive and not many people are very kind in this industry.
Especially once you lose your platform, people view you as not having anything to offer.
But you always stood by me, even at my lowest lows, when I had basically nothing.
I had everything taken away from me, even my bank accounts.
So I appreciate that.
Of course, Laura.
And honestly, you know, watching you and everything that you fought for has encouraged me and inspired me and showed me what hard work really looks like.
So thank you for inspiring all of us.
We really appreciate it.
Yeah, well, thank you so much, Savannah.
I really appreciate you coming on.
Thanks, Laura.
Yeah, thank you.
So, we're in the middle of connecting with Corey Lewandowski.
I think that there was a bit of an issue getting the link over, but...
But here's an exciting announcement, actually.
Today, the Trump campaign actually released its first campaign ad featuring, well, it doesn't feature JD Vance, but it's the first campaign ad that actually ends with Trump Vance, as opposed to Trump 2024, Make America Great Again.
It's a really powerful ad.
I want to go ahead and play it for you.
It's about three minutes long, but it really will give you chills.
It's such a phenomenal, powerful ad, and really, Almost made me feel emotional today.
No, it actually did make me feel emotional just watching everything that President Trump has gone through and been subjected to.
So, I hope you enjoy this new ad that was just released today by the Trump campaign.
We can now project the winner of the presidential race.
Donald Trump wins the presidency.
What started off as unlikely, impossible, is now reality.
I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down.
We have a president who actually fulfilled the promises he made during the campaign.
She now has a record as president.
It's pretty damn impressive.
Breaking news out of Palm Beach, Florida.
The FBI has executed an unprecedented search warrant at President Donald Trump against a former president.
The former president has both sides of the political aisle up in arms.
It is a dangerous and unstable moment in American history.
The Justice Department has just indicted former President Donald Trump.
For seven years, they hated him.
This is the epitome of the abuse of the prosecutorial power to preempt political decisions.
I never thought anything like this could happen in America.
The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.
The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom.
They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you.
They're not coming after me, they're coming after you and I just happen to be standing in their way and I will never be moving.
On November 5th, 2024, justice will be done.
We will take back our country and we will make America great again.
America will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger.
Donald Trump seems to always get stronger with challenge.
These types of things, I think, give him strength.
When I'm re-elected, I will totally obliterate the deep state.
As long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our God, then we will not fail.
Very powerful ad from the Trump campaign.
We are waiting now for Corey Lewandowski to connect.
He'll be connecting momentarily.
I think he just left a movie premiere.
He just texted me.
He said, give me three minutes.
So three more minutes and Corey will be joining us.
So before Corey joins us, I want to take a moment to thank the second sponsor of today's episode of Lumer Unleashed, 1775 Coffee.
Are you a sleepy Joe who has zero cognitive performance, scared of walking upstairs without being worried you're going to fall down?
Do you struggle to muster the focus and brain power for the basic things in life, such as eating ice cream or riding a bike?
You need to stop drinking woke, liberal coffee and start your day by drinking Rumble's very own 1775 Coffee.
Never mind that it will be the best tasting coffee you have ever had in your life.
As in seriously good.
It's also ethically sourced from a family farm in the high-altitude mountains of Bolivia.
So instead of waking up tomorrow morning and drinking your mold-infested, big corporation-owned, woe-pediology coffee that is probably making you sick from the pesticides it's sprayed with, try Rumble 1775 Coffee, support freedom of speech, and build a parallel economy that actually values you.
Go to 1775coffee.com slash Loomer right now and pick up your first bag.
Use code Loomer at 1775coffee.com to use 10% off your first order.

So again, go to 1775coffee.com slash Loomer.
Everybody drinks coffee, so please order your coffee from 1775coffee.com and use code Loomer at checkout so that you can support your drinking habits.

But if you want to support your caffeine consumption, you can do so while also supporting me so that I can keep delivering you all of the content, uncensored and unfiltered, unleashed, political commentary that you enjoy.
So again, 1775coffee.com slash Loomer.
Corey is going to be connecting momentarily, but we do have some breaking news right now.
No?
No?
No? No?
The Trump campaign responds to vice presidential debates.
Trump's campaign just released a statement.
We don't know who the Democrat nominee for vice president is going to be, so we can't lock in a date before their convention.
To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, J.B.
Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate, Brian Hughes, Trump campaign senior advisor.
So...
We'll post that up on X. Corey, he's connecting right now?
Producer said he's connecting.
He's gonna be joining us momentarily.
So, again, we have no idea who the presidential nominee for the Democrats is going to be, let alone the vice president.
If they select Kamala, we have no idea who the vice president pick is going to be.
So, we can't really have a discussion yet about who J.D.
Vance is going to be debating, even though he would completely obliterate Kamala Harris.
She's not very smart.
I think that we're going to see a lot of momentum, especially from the Democrat Party, over these next three weeks because they do have to make a decision very soon, especially if they want to qualify to have a candidate on the ballot.
I believe the deadline is October 4th or, excuse me, August 4th or August 2nd for the state of Ohio for the Democrats if they wish to have a candidate on the ballot.
Or else, you know, we're perfectly fine, of course, with President Trump getting all of Ohio's 17 electoral votes.
We will see what happens.
Uh, Cory is getting framed up right now.
He just left a movie premiere at the RNC.
So, uh, he's a little delayed.
But, uh, that's okay, because we want to hear from Cory especially.
He's on now.
So, can we, uh, can we get him on?
Oh, he's getting framed up.
So, any moment now we'll have Cory Lewandowski.
We'll go to the chat in the meantime.
Let me go to the chat.
If you guys have any questions, feel free to put them in the chat.
Oh, wow!
We have 4,000 live viewers on Rumble right now.
Let's see how many live viewers.
Again, if you're watching this live right now, please go to Rumble.com, download the app, subscribe.
Rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.

I believe we now have Corey connected, so joining me now live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin from the RNC convention is former Trump campaign manager, and now he's working with the RNC again, Corey Lewandowski.
Corey, thanks so much for joining me tonight.
Well, thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'm still at the movie that's running a little late.
It's okay.
I need to step out, but I wanted to make sure I called into you.
No worries, Corey.
It just adds to the excitement.
I saw you on the floor of the convention the other day, and you, of course, have been brought back on by the Trump campaign to help assist with the RNC.
And I will say, job well done, because it seems like, so far, you and Chris LaCivita have really been able to have a flawless RNC convention.
There was no contestation of the delegates.
There was nobody trying to unbind on the floor.
And it seems like, I don't know if maybe it's the attempted assassination of President Trump or just your stellar organization skills, but whatever it is, it looks like this was as smooth as it could go.
Any comments on the flow of the RNC thus far?
Well, I will just say this.
The team has done a phenomenal job.
I'm glad that Nikki Haley released her delegates.
We made a call to all of them, and then they did decide to support Donald Trump, which is very important to us.
You know, it's been really well done so far.
And the most impactful stories have been those everyday Americans who've been on the stage telling their story, talking about the fentanyl crisis in this country, talking about the illegal immigrant crisis in this country.
You know, I'm sure people want to hear from the politicians, but these everyday American stories are so much more powerful.
And I think that's what's going to win the hearts and minds of people going forward.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
What is your biggest takeaway thus far from the RNC convention?
I'm just retweeting it now too because we do have about 40,000 people watching live.
I just hit a million followers on X and so really exciting because it's a really big day and so many people are tuning into this show to watch this episode live from the RNC.
Corey, so I appreciate you joining me.
What's the biggest takeaway thus far from this RNC convention?
Do you really believe that people are going to unify?
Because it seems like there's a lot of people now that are either putting grievances behind them, bearing the hatchet.
I've witnessed it firsthand here at the convention.
I had Matt Schlapp come up to me personally and apologize for kicking me out of CPAC a few years ago.
I've had people from the DeSantis campaign come up to me and apologize as well.
Do you think that this near-death experience from Donald Trump has inspired people to be kinder, more gentler, and nicer to each other?
Or do you think it's just a bunch of kumbaya, you know, momentary nonsense?
Or do you really think that we are going to see peace in the Republican Party?
Look, I think we're really unified right now, whether you're a MAGA Republican like I have been, or you're a more, you know, moderate Republican like the Nikki Haley wing of the Republican Party.
You know, everybody here is moving forward in one direction, which is to support Donald Trump and J.P.
Vance so that they are the next 47th President and Vice President, respectively, of the United States.
Look, our party has an opportunity to rise to this occasion, to talk directly to the American people, to tell them what our vision is for America.
We have been living under a Joe Biden disaster for the last three and a half years.
He had to practice standing at the debate for 90 minutes.
He can't tell us his policies.
He thinks he's an African-American woman.
He thinks that Donald Trump is his Vice President of the United States, and we think that his cognitive ability is only going to get better?
We're only kidding ourselves.
Look, Donald Trump has a clear vision.
Everyone out here in Milwaukee, and I think across the country, is united because they want to see their country do better.
So, we are up for a historic opportunity here.
I think with J.D.
Vance on the ticket, Donald Trump is going to expand the map.
We're going to play in states that historically don't have Republicans playing in them for the 2024 cycle.
And we're going to go on to a historic victory come November.
What do you think about President Trump's pick of J.D.
Vance?
I know that there's been some mixed reviews.
I personally like J.D.
Vance.
I've had him on my show before, and I'll just be very blunt because you, like me, Corey, you're a no-nonsense, zero-bullshit person, so I think you can appreciate this.
I think that the strategy, and again, I don't work for President Trump, but if I did, I would probably advise that the strategy going forward should be to address the oppo up front.
And what do I mean by that?
I mean that J.D.
Vance, of course, has a history of calling President Trump Hitler, calling President Trump an idiot, saying he's cultural heroine, calling Trump supporters idiots.
But I think that this can actually, ironically, and I don't think that I would usually ever say this, could be spinned to a positive to amplify that message of unity and to say, listen, if J.D. Vance could be one of the most obnoxious Trump haters and then if J.D. Vance could be one of the most obnoxious Trump haters and then transform over eight years into being one of the strongest advocates of President Trump and the America First mission in the United States.
Senate, then that is a testament to what we can do to the American people by having strong communication, strong campaign messaging and bringing people from across the aisle who thought they hated President Trump, who had been brainwashed by eight years of propaganda and lies and who had been brainwashed by eight years of propaganda and lies and have those people cross over the way J.D. Vance did and turn those into Trump supporters and members of the MAGA movement.
Do you agree with my assessment or do you see things differently?
family.
Well, I agree with that, Laurie.
You have to remember this.
There were very few people when Donald Trump came down that golden escalator who were with him.
I happened to be one of them and I've never wavered in my support.
But all of a sudden, you see now...
You know, 24% of the African-American community with Donald Trump, 46% of the Hispanic community with Donald Trump.
That wasn't the case when he came down that escalator.
So when J.D.
Vance was attacking Donald Trump way back in 2016, he also had a number of rivals who he ran against who were attacking him.
Guys who went on to serve admirably in his administration, like Dr. Ben Carson and Secretary Rick Perry, who was an opponent during the 2016 campaign.
So look, the convert sometimes Is more welcome than the first believer.
Look, no one can ever say they were with Donald Trump before I was.
But I will tell you this, we are so happy that he's expanded the base.
He's expanded people coming to support him.
Whether you are green, black, blue, orange, brown, yellow, it doesn't matter.
We want everybody to come and support President Trump.
because we've got a lot of work to do over the next four years.
I lost your audio.
Alright.
I get to fight you for the title of Biggest Trump Loyalist?
Look, we could have that fight, but I've been there since the very beginning, and I love you, but hey, I'm pretty good at fighting, by the way.
I think I've gotten in trouble a few times with fighting at these places.
I know, I'm just kidding.
Truly, Corey Lewandowski was there from day one, like many others, like Roger Stone as well.
There's very few people who were there with President Trump from day one, but I will say you were one of the true Trump loyalists who has always been there despite all the media attacks and all the attacks that you've been subjected to over the years for supporting President Trump.
So you support J.D.
Vance, you think it's a good message.
What do you think that we can expect to see tomorrow night when President Trump delivers his acceptance of the nomination speech?
Look, President Trump is going to be very conciliatory in the sense that he wants to unite this country.
You know, the great leaders all rise to the occasion, whether it was, you know, during the Gettysburg Address that Lincoln gave, or after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or most recently, after the historic tragedy on 9-11.
Look, great leaders stand up and bring people together, and people forget about being a Republican or Democrat.
They want to support this country to be successful.
I think that's what you're going to hear from Donald Trump, which is join us, join our movement.
We don't care where you've been in the past.
Join us so that we can make this country great again, so we can make it strong again, so we can make it safe again, so we can make it prosperous again.
And if you're an American, you know, I don't know how you could disagree with that.
You know, nobody, there is nobody wants to raise their children on the south side of Chicago.
There's nobody wants to see Joe Biden for another four years.
I couldn't agree with you more.
And given that statement, too, and all the speeches that we've seen about unification, what else do you expect to see in the speeches tonight?
And what do you think that we can expect to see from the Republican Party going forward?
I know a lot of people are worried about, you know, oh, we've seen a lot of statements like, oh, people are just on their best behavior now because President Trump was almost assassinated.
So I'll ask you again.
Do you think that the sentiments that we're seeing from other members of the Republican Party, even some members of the Democrat Party and the media, which we hope they'll have a guilty conscience and some feelings of remorse, Do you think that we can see this continue in the long term or do you think that this is just kind of a temporary aftershock of watching President Trump almost have his head blown off live on television during his rally?
Well, look, the Democrats have to get rid of the rhetoric.
They have to.
They've said that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, that he will use the weaponization of the Justice Department to go after his opponents.
None of that is true.
They continue to say those things.
And the day that J.D.
Vance was announced on Monday as the vice presidential nominee, he was immediately attacked.
You know, while Kamala Harris called him, Joe Biden attacked him.
So it's time for the Democrats to step up and lower the rhetoric on their side.
I don't know if it's going to be temporary or not, but I will say this.
I think tonight you're going to hear from a lot of the family members.
Eric Trump is speaking tonight.
Donald Trump Jr.
is speaking tonight.
But more than that, you're also going to hear the life story of J.D.
Vance.
A true rags-to-riches story.
a kid who grew up in absolute squalor poverty, got a college degree at the Ohio State University, went on to serve admirably in the United States Marine Corps, got accepted to Yale Law School, graduated from that prestigious institution, went out to Silicon Valley, made some money there, and then now he's 39 years old.
He's a U.S. senator, and he's the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States.
So only in America can 30 years can someone go from literally abject poverty to the pinnacle of potential power in this country.
It's the greatest thing that this country has to offer people, which is the American dream.
And under the Trump administration, for four more years, more people will have the chance to have that dream.
And then I want to ask you, too, just if you can, Corey, touch on the attempted assassination from this last Saturday.
There's a lot of very disturbing reports that have come out.
And look, you've been a big supporter of President Trump as his former campaign manager.
You're no stranger to Secret Service details or traveling with the President and, you know, Secret Service protection.
And so we've now learned that Secret Service was aware of the shooter.
along with local law enforcement for 30 minutes before shots rang out, which means that they were aware of the shooter before President Trump took the stage since he was on stage for about 20 minutes, which means that they allowed him to take the stage while knowing that there was a potential shooter or actual shooter rather in the perimeter.
We also found out that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, went through Secret Service twice with his rangefinder scope for his rifle, We have also found out that he was on top of the roof whilst counter snipers were inside the building that he was actually standing on top of.
He had explosive devices on his body and also his vehicle across the street was packed full of explosive devices ready to be detonated to potentially harm and blow up Trump supporters.
Do you think that this was an inside job?
It almost seems like it was too much of a deviation for this to not be intentional.
Do you think that this was an inside job by the Secret Service Director and Alejandro Mayorkas, who controls Secret Service, by signing off on resources or denying resources as he did?
Well, it's a great question.
I don't know the answer.
Look, if any resources were asked for and weren't given, then absolutely there has to be accountability for it.
What's amazing to me is that we've got a 20-year-old kid walking Through, you know, on the outskirts of a protectees, you know, bubble area, carrying a ladder and a long rifle, and nobody seems to be able to think that that's odd.
We've got a minute and 26 seconds of individuals who are saying, look, there's a guy up on the roof up there, and allegedly, a police officer climbs up to see this individual, finds him at the bottom end of a rifle, doesn't get on his radio, there's no radio call on this, but he just simply climbs back down and slithers away.
I don't understand any of that.
Look, I have been a police officer.
I've been part of President Trump's team since he has picked up Secret Service all the way back in October of 2015.
There is traditionally a communications channel for local, state, and federal law enforcement officials.
If there is a problem, they can put a bowl out or be on the lookout for on one channel.
You're telling me a police officer climbed up to the top of this building, saw an individual on a roof, saw a rifle pointed at him, and didn't ever make a radio call?
I find that fascinating, to be very honest with you, as someone who's served as a police officer in the past.
So, there are so many questions here.
I just don't understand how we don't have the answers yet.
It sounded like there were four questions that were asked today in the U.S. Senate hearing.
That's all they were allowed to be asked was four simple questions, and they submit everything else in writing.
We know that the Secretary of Homeland Security should be impeached.
He shouldn't be in that position right now.
He should be held in contempt for his failures on the southern border.
And the U.S.
Secret Service Director, who Joe Biden said is a great guy and talked to, is actually a female.
And Joe Biden clearly has no idea what's going on.
So, let's get to the bottom of it and let's do it damn quick.
We can get to the bottom of it, but exactly what you just said, having been a law enforcement officer yourself and also knowing what we know about the fact that this police officer didn't even radio over after coming face-to-face with the shooter, I guess I'll just ask you again, because a lot of people are saying that it's too inflammatory to say this, but I don't think it's inflammatory.
I think this is exactly what's going to come to be the case.
We've already seen that the United States government has assassinated United States presidents in the past.
So I believe that it was an inside job.
And it's just a yes or no question.
I'll ask you again.
Do you believe that the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump was an inside job?
I just don't know, Laura, but I will tell you this.
You know what the difference is between a conspiracy theorist and a fact finder?
Usually about six weeks.
Okay?
It's usually what the difference is.
And you know, this was, this was a, you know, and I don't mean this in a bad way.
I've, I've, I've done a lot of hunting in my life.
I've been around guns my entire professional life.
You know, this was not a difficult shot to make, to be very honest with you.
150 yards is what we call a chip shot in the business.
You've got a high powered rifle.
He's got a range finder on it.
This is not a difficult shot to make.
It wasn't like you had to take wind calculations into effect or the, trajectory of the bullet to drop.
And so, you know, this, it just seems all too odd for me.
And I think we've got to get the facts.
We've got to get them very quickly.
And I don't understand how the director of the U.S. Secret Service still has her job right now.
I think that you're exactly correct, Corey.
We're probably going to find out in six weeks or less.
I think it's probably going to be a lot less than that.
I'm happy to see that the director, Kim Cheadle, has been subpoenaed by James Comer, but hopefully the Republicans will actually stick to this message of demanding answers and accountability.
Personally, I don't know why they're all here at the RNC convention.
I think that it would have shown more leadership and more unity and also more of a sense of urgency to get Donald Trump elected had all of these members just gone back to Washington DC this week for an emergency session instead of inviting Kim Cheadle.
I mean, as if she should have the choice about whether she attends or not on July 22nd.
But I'm sure that you and I are on the same page about that, Corey.
I just want to give you last few words, Corey.
Anything that you want to say to the viewers right now about the RNC or the future of the Trump campaign?
Well, look, I'll tell you this.
I have nothing but enormous praise for the thousands of people who've helped to put this convention together.
There have been no complaints.
They have done a phenomenal job.
Everything is running like clockwork.
The convention's actually been running a few minutes ahead for most evenings.
So that's a testament to the men and women who have been out here working, the volunteers, the paid staff, and so many others.
Look, this campaign is going to be historic in 2024.
Donald Trump said we had a great campaign in 2016, which I believe is true.
I was there for that.
We had a very good campaign in 2020.
This campaign is going to expand the map.
We're going to see Donald Trump secure somewhere between, in my opinion, 300 and 330 electoral votes.
It's going to be an electoral blowout.
It's going to be historic, and I'm so excited for what the next four years brings.
Well, thank you, Corey, and I really appreciate all of your hard work that you put into the RNC convention.
It's been a fabulous convention.
It's still not over.
I'm really looking forward to heading back over after my show tonight to watch those incredible speeches and to also see President Trump speak tonight.
So I want to thank you for all of your hard work and your years of loyalty and support for President Trump, the greatest president ever.
Our country depends on it.
I don't think people realize that we were literally less than an inch away from the death of Western civilization, the death of America.
Because if Donald Trump doesn't get back into the White House, this country is over.
That's exactly right.
Well, I believe, and I'm not an overly religious person, I am Catholic, I believe a higher power saved Donald Trump because he's got a plan for him and for our country going forward.
I agree with you and I say the same thing and I'm not a super religious person either but you cannot explain that other than divine intervention.
The way that he turned his head and especially given the fact that he never used those graphics during his rallies.
It was kind of a last minute decision by Dan Scavino and I think...
Okay.
the advance team there that said, okay, the president wants to use these graphics to talk about the illegal immigration statistics, and they were about to not do it, but President Trump insisted.
So it truly is remarkable.
But Corey, I'll let you go.
I know you're really busy.
I'll see you later this evening.
Thank you so much for coming on We're Unleashed.
Really appreciate it.
Okay.
Take care.
Well, that's Corey Lewandowski, of course.
You can find him on X. And, as I said before, he's the former Trump campaign manager.
He was with President Trump in the beginning, in 2015-2016.
Truly a true Trump loyalist, and it's great to hear his insight, given the fact that the Trump campaign brought him back on to assist with this RNC convention.
It is now 5 o'clock, and I do have to head back over now to the RNC convention to watch the evening speeches.
We're going to hear from members of the Trump family tonight and several members of Congress.
And tonight's around 9 o'clock, I believe.
I think, let me see the exact time.
I have the exact time on my phone.
It's from 6 to 10 p.m.
tonight, I know, the different speeches.
Donald Trump Jr.
will be speaking at 9 p.m., and J.D.
Vance's speech is going to be at 9.31 p.m.
And then tomorrow, of course, is the last day of the RNC convention, and we're going to see President Trump speak.
I'm told that Melania Trump will be attending tomorrow.
Ivanka Trump will also be attending tomorrow.
And it will be very exciting, and I will be there tonight, live on the convention floor, posting updates on X and True Social.
