	Thank you.
	Good evening and welcome to Episode 76 of Lumer Unleashed.
	I'm your host, Laura Lumer.
	On Sunday, America narrowly avoided disaster for the second time in three months.
	Once again, President Trump was the target of an attempted assassination, with the would-be attacker hiding in the bushes outside of the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
	The situation could have been tragic, but the assailant was spotted and fired upon by Secret Service agents, potentially saving the President's life.
	Thankfully, the worst was avoided.
	And instead, we can examine the divisive rhetoric that has undoubtedly played a role in encouraging such violent acts against the President.
	For months, the Democrat Party and their allies in the mainstream media have relentlessly attacked President Trump, labeling him as a threat to democracy, whatever that means, and declaring that he must never again regain power.
	Through politically motivated legal battles, they've sought to brand him as a convicted felon and far worse.
	They've tried to pin the responsibility for the January 6th protests squarely on him.
	Even after Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt back in July, the hostile rhetoric never let up.
	It's clear that many on the left want to see Donald Trump dead.
	They fantasize about it happening live on TV, eager to flaunt his death as a twisted form of revenge against every single MAGA supporter.
	This level of hatred is truly disturbing.
	Last week, the left-wing media amped up its attacks, not only on Donald Trump, but also on me.
	It felt like every single day.
	And it hasn't stopped.
	Another hit piece would surface from the usual outlets.
	NBC, MSNBC, The Atlantic, New York Times, CNN, you name it.
	It just never ends.
	And why?
	Well, because they despise the fact that they cannot control Trump and his supporters.
	They loathe that I am a strong, effective, conservative voice, and they want to silence me.
	Just like they want to silence Donald Trump.
	True to form, the media has tried to drive a wedge between me and the Trump campaign.
	I don't work for Trump.
	I don't work for his campaign.
	Yet, the media is desperate to demonize me and get Donald Trump and his campaign to disavow.
	They use every buzzword at their disposal to paint me in the worst possible light, hoping that Trump would disavow me.
	Well, that didn't work.
	They moved to outright slander me, accusing me of having an affair with the president, a vile and baseless claim.
	You see, I'm a loyal and dedicated and passionate supporter of Donald Trump.
	I'm not some opportunistic sleazy social climber.
	Kamala Harris is clearly projecting in these attacks on me since we all know how she got her political career started.
	Thus, the portrayal of me by the media as some type of radical floozy is a description fitting for someone like Kamala Harris, not me.
	Thankfully, both Donald Trump and J.D.
	Vance have refused to cave to the communists in the media, as I'm sure everybody, really everybody, recognizes the baseless nature of these attacks.
	I'm sure that the left realizes them too, but hey, they just want to attack me even if it means attacking me with lies.
	They don't care about the truth.
	There's no benefit in caving to the left's demands.
	Even if they did disavow me, the media would never let them forget it.
	This is the trap the left loves to set, hoping Republicans will stumble into it while the left openly embraces actual racists and terror supporters.
	You see, they invite Hamas supporters to the White House.
	Notice how the only Republicans who fall for this are the weak ones, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lindsey Graham.
	Marjorie Trader Green, as I like to call her, was quick to attack me and side with Kamala Harris.
	Who knows?
	Some have told me that she even colluded with the Harris campaign, claiming that I don't represent the MAGA movement.
	And she attached my free speech while cozying up to the same leftists who have incited violence against President Trump and have worked tirelessly over the last several years to jail him and attack his family members.
	Marjorie is a prime example of why the Republican Party falters time and time again.
	You don't earn points by siding with the left.
	You see, this is something that a lot of Republicans don't understand.
	There's no reward from the media for being the best Republican or the most moral Republican.
	In the end, the left is going to label her and Lindsey Graham the same way that they do others.
	Nazi, insurrectionist, racist, or whatever term they choose.
	It's like the flavor of the month.
	Disavowing your own side never works.
	Our party has engaged in a generational struggle against the political elite that has seized control of our nation's power structures.
	We are up against the same deep state that did everything it could to block and destroy Donald Trump in 2016 and to undermine his policies during his presidency.
	You see, we're fighting against unchecked illegal immigration and costly foreign wars that have drained our nation's resources.
	And the radical left, which openly pushes for late-term abortions, mass migration, child transgender surgeries, and gun confiscation, well, they're not going to stop anytime soon.
	In fact, as the election gets nearer over these next seven weeks, they're only going to intensify their attacks in an effort to create as much chaos as possible.
	Yet, Republicans like Marjorie are aligning themselves with the left.
	The election is now seven weeks away.
	The media has been dog whistling for Trump's assassination for months, and they've almost gotten their wish now, twice.
	I think it's time, don't you think, that we stop giving in to their demands.
	I think it's time that we stop siding with them over our own party, and it's time for us as Republicans to stop taking the high road.
	We're coming up on perhaps the most consequential election of our generation.
	And I personally, well, you know, I've had enough of these spineless, weak Republicans and the usual tricks from the Democrats.
	We must all rally around President Trump in this time of peril without condemning his strongest supporters for cheap political points.
	Instead, we must present a united front heading into the homestretch against the people who want us defeated, demoralized, and dead.
	There is a young female journalist, conservative journalist, by the name of Laura Loomer.
	If America's men acted like Laura Loomer, our problems would be fixed in about five minutes.
	Chained herself to square?
	She changed it.
	She changed it.
	She changed it.
	Well, good evening, and thank you so much for tuning in to episode 76 of Loomer Unleashed.
	I'm your host, Laura Loomer.
	We have a lot to talk about tonight, and I'm sure that you saw over on Sunday that, well, they're at it again.
	The evil forces in our nation are trying to assassinate Donald Trump once again, and I predict that they're going to try it again.
	And again and again until, well, they get their wish.
	Because, let's be honest, what has really changed in our country since Donald Trump was almost assassinated the first time on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania?

	All right, let's get started.
	You have the wrong one up.
	I'm a copy dot com slash Laura Lamer.
	So there's a lot to unpack here with this Ryan Routh individual.
	Tonight, momentarily, actually, we're going to be having Kevin DeMatteo on.
	Kevin DeMatteo will be my special guest tonight.
	And Kevin contacted me, and he said, oh, I want to get in touch with Laura Loomer.
	And so he contacted this woman that I know, a friend of mine from Palm Beach County and was able to get in touch with me.
	And the reason why Kevin wanted to get in touch with me is because years ago, almost 30 years ago, he hired Ryan Routh, who now has been charged with several firearms charges, possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
	And the question is, is how did a guy who was a convicted felon, who as we now know the FBI has said was on their radar since 2019, Get access to an AK-47.
	How did a guy who was only living off of $3,000 a month manage to pay for plane tickets to travel from Hawaii, where he's living, in Honolulu, to Florida?
	And how did he transport a weapon?
	It's not like you can just drive.
	So, very problematic situation here.
	But what's even more concerning about this Ryan Routh character is the fact that he has so many ties to the mainstream media.
	As soon as this incident, as the media likes to call it, so they're calling it an incident, of course, because they don't want to call it what it actually is, an attempted assassination, second attempted assassination on President Trump's life, the media wants to call it an incident.
	So as soon as this incident happened, I rushed to the scene of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
	I drove down there and I started immediately archiving Ryan Routh's social media accounts, which have now, of course, you know, as always is the case, has been completely scrubbed and wiped from the internet.
	And so, what I found is that he had...
	on his social media that really were indicative of him being a mercenary, talking about how he was fighting in the war in Ukraine and wanted to go to Ukraine to kill Vladimir Puhin, tweeting at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris about how Donald Trump was a so-called tweeting at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris about how Donald Trump was a so-called threat to democracy, and also trying to recruit Afghan soldiers and basically traffic them through Pakistan illegally and and also trying to recruit Afghan soldiers and basically traffic them through Pakistan illegally and get Pakistan passports illegally, of course, by purchasing fake passports and then importing these
	by purchasing fake passports and then importing these people to Ukraine to fight in the Ukraine war.
	So you have to ask yourself, how does an American citizen who's engaged in this type of mercenary activity and also is a convicted felon, how does a guy like that that's on the FBI's radar not get arrested for trying to illegally human traffic Afghans who are not going to be a victim of Who knows if these people are in the Taliban, right?
	Who knows what these people are or who they are.
	Trafficking these people to Pakistan to get illegal passports and then bringing them to Ukraine.
	It seems very suspect and very shady.
	Here we have Ukraine now distances itself from Ryan Routh, a man accused in apparent Trump assassination attempt.
	And so what we have is Ryan Routh actually tweeting at Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, and taking photos with a lot of high level officials.
	It's very strange actually to see who this guy was connected to.
	He was tied to the U.S.
	Foreign Legion in Ukraine, which many have said is tied to the CIA here in the United States of America.
	Yeah, we let's see what time we're going to be joined by Kevin in 10 minutes, so.
	Here you can see we actually broke that story on my website.
	So let's go to the Loomered.com article about Ryan Routh.
	Also, too, if you guys haven't gone to Loomered.com, make sure that you visit my website and you can subscribe.
	And you can also get the news every single day on my website.
	We don't just aggregate the news.
	We actually have original reporting.
	Scroll down, scroll down, scroll down right there.
	Suspected Trump assassin Ryan Routh posted about his recruitment efforts for the Haitian National Police.
	And so if you scroll down, you can see here, scroll up.
	Nope, scroll up.
	I have thousands of Afghan soldiers that wish to serve for the Haiti National Police at cheap wages.
	A thousand with passports ready to fly.
	He's openly posting his information, posting his number, posting his email address, and really soliciting out in the open for people to contact him, not really hiding his mercenary activities.
	You can see those are archived posts that have now been deleted from X. Scroll down.
	Posts from his social media show that suspected Trump assassin Ryan Routh is a devout leftist and never-Trumper.
	Posts from Ryan Routh's ex account show that Routh had a soft spot in his heart for the people of Haiti as he offered to recruit Afghan soldiers to serve in Haiti's National Police Force.
	Ralph's obsession with Haiti is extremely eye-opening as President Trump has been called a so-called racist this week.
	If you recall, they've been attacking Donald Trump all week long, and J.D.
	Vance as well, of being a racist for their comments about eating the dogs and eating the cats, remarks at the debate when he was speaking to, you know, The fact that over 20,000 Haitian migrants have been imported into the town of Springfield, Ohio, and these people, of course, are not assimilating and they are not really integrating very well with the people of Ohio.
	We actually confronted Senator Sherrod Brown today.
	We have that clip.
	We've confronted Senator Sherrod Brown several times.
	Senator Sherrod Brown, of course, is the Democrat senator from Ohio who, well, he voted in support of giving these Haitian invaders temporary protected status, and he signed off on importing these Haitian invaders into his state of Ohio.
	And, well, he's just ignored all of the complaints from the people of Ohio who are very upset About the fact that thousands of these migrants are now in their community, and while they are eating people's pets, they are crashing cars, they don't know how to drive, they don't really follow traffic laws.
	And so we caught up with Senator Brown today.
	Loomer Unleashed D.C.
	correspondent Charles Downs tracked him down, and we asked him about his voting record.
	We asked him last week as well in a video that has now been seen over 7 million times.
	And of course, Chris Hayes from MSNBC had, well, an absolute meltdown talking about our videos, asking, oh my god!
	You know, how is Laura Loomer getting all these videos and why is the NRC sharing them?
	Well, probably because, you know, Loomer Unleashed is the only publication out there that is actually confronting people and holding them accountable.
	And you see a lot of these other journalists are very lazy.
	They don't really want to do anything.
	They simply want to aggregate other people's work or they just want to talk on Twitter.
	They're not actually putting their own time and their resources like I am here at Loomer Unleashed into confronting these people and asking them the hard questions.
	I also asked, well, we here at Luma Unleashed have also been asking the senators in battleground races about their voting record as it relates to men voting in or men playing, excuse me, in women's sports.
	And so not only are these people for open borders and mass migration, but they're also in support of men, biological men playing in women's sports.
	So let's go ahead and play this clip of Democrat Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown being confronted today.
	Why did you vote to allow men to play women's sports?
	And will you apologize to the people of Springfield, Ohio for downplaying the illegal immigration crisis going on there?
	Hello, Santa Brown.
	Why did you vote to allow men to play women's sports?
	And will you apologize to the people of Springfield, Ohio, for downplaying the illegal immigration crisis going on there?
	And before we get to our guest tonight, Kevin DeMatteo, who, of course, as I mentioned before, had previously hired Ryan Routh.
	And he's going to share some eye-opening information about the kind of person who Ryan was and also just how this really came out of nowhere.
	According to Kevin, you're going to hear his story about working with Ryan Routh.
	I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed, and that's, of course, Brightcore.
	And the product that I want to share with you tonight Is Brightcore Revive.
	You saw that I had the founder of Brightcore on my show a couple weeks ago.
	And what I really like about Brightcore Revive here, it's a collagen supplement.
	And people always ask me, oh your hair looks really shiny.
	You can see it looks pretty shiny here with the red.
	And people will say, oh your nails look so nice all the time.
	Well, I didn't always used to have nice nails and my hair used to be a little bit brittle and over time, I realized that I needed to start incorporating collagen into my diet because collagen, it strengthens your hair, it helps improve your skin and it also makes your nails grow longer.
	And so, what I really like about the Revive Collagen is, like I said before, it enhances skin elasticity.
	And it's very easy to take.
	You can see here this is the bottle of the Bright Cord Revive.
	And all you have to do is you open the product up.
	It's very easy.
	And it comes with a scooper.
	And you take one scoop, and you put it in a glass of water.
	Thank you.
	This flavor is strawberry lemonade.
	They have a flavorless version too, but... I like strawberry lemonade.
	Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.
	You gotta mix it as well as you can.
	Is this going to go viral too?
	Last time I ate something on my show it was dog food and the whole internet went ablaze talking about it.
	So here we go.
	Tastes really good.
	Didn't dissolve yet.
	But you get the point.
	I like it.
	It's a refreshing drink, and not only is it refreshing, you can even, in the flavorless one, you can put it in your coffee.
	You can mix it in anything, but this, of course, the strawberry lemonade, you'd probably just want to drink in a cup of water.
	Very easy to use, again, Revive from Brightcore, and they have a special offer for all of the Lumer Unleashed viewers, so you can go to mybrightcore.com, mybrightcore.com, and you can use discount code LUMER at the checkout, mybrightcore.com slash LUMER, mybrightcore.com slash LUMER, use discount code LUMER at checkout, and you will get 25% off.

	If you're just a guy and you want to have better skin elasticity, or you're a woman and you're aging and you want to get rid of fine line and wrinkles, it also helps with getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles.
	And I think that everybody really should just be taking a collagen supplement.

	And so again, mybrightcourt.com slash Lumer, and you can Use code Loomer at checkout for 25% off.
	We're going to be joined by Kevin DeMatteo any moment now, but I want to go back to that article before we're joined by him showing you these messages.
	You can keep scrolling down.
	Here we go.
	Here's another one.
	I am a recruiter for Ukraine and I have thousands of Afghan NATO trained soldiers who are begging to become police in Haiti at an extremely economical price.
	His connections for a guy who claimed to only be living off of $3,000 a month are pretty, pretty extreme.
	And so you have to ask yourself, well, how did this guy get all these connections in Ukraine and with Haiti and Afghanistan and Pakistan?
	And a lot of people have been asking the question, is this guy some type of asset?
	Is he some type of asset with the CIA?
	Is he some type of federal asset?
	And How does he have all of these connections in Ukraine?
	And how is he actually photographed with several Biden administration officials?
	And so it's not like this is some random guy.
	He has photographs with a celebrity chef who has cooked for the Bidens and the Obamas and the Clintons and...
	Very, very strange behavior, and we're going to show you tonight, after this interview with Kevin DeMatteo, you're going to see for yourself, well, how the media had actually profiled, they actually profiled Ryan Routh several times.
	But without further ado, joining me now is the former employer of Ryan Routh, the would-be assassin who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump on Sunday at his golf club.
	Kevin DeMatteo.
	Kevin, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
	It's a pleasure to have you here on Lumer Unleashed for your exclusive interview.
	You haven't gone to any other publications with this story, and we're blessed to have you here with us tonight so that we're the first that you could share it with.
	Well, Laura, it's very nice to be on your platform.
	Certainly didn't expect to have this kind of exposure, but as we'll share In the coming minutes, it was truly a jaw-dropping shock for me to wake up, see newspapers and news reports, print and electronic, how this gentleman, who I knew fairly well in Greensboro in the early to mid-90s,
	Yeah, so why don't you walk us through this because that's what people had said.
	And of course, uh, when, you know, there's still an active investigation, but what we know is that he's living in Hawaii.
	He's here now and his home and his car are in Honolulu, Hawaii.
	But prior to that, of course, and prior to coming to Florida where he tried to kill Donald Trump, he was living in, in, uh, you said North Carolina, correct?
	Yes, that was Greensboro, North Carolina.
	And so tell us if you can, just kind of start to finish, how you came into contact with him and the specific years and really, you know, what he was like and what went through your head.
	Okay.
	I'd just like to state for your viewers that I come from a very apolitical position here.
	This has nothing to do with ideology, with political parties, with any of that that's going on in the airwaves today, electronic and print.
	I came to know Ryan, I called him Ryan Man, in the early 90s in Greensboro.
	At the time, we had a company here in Greensboro, property management and a construction company.
	We were renovating apartments and we were building new condos adjacent to that.
	And I came to know Ryan actually through his wife, I believe, as she was doing some bookkeeping for the property management firm.
	And when she let me know that her husband, you know, was a very, uh, successful handyman, if you will.
	Um, I said, well, have Ryan call me.
	We ended up, uh, uh, doing work for, for, for, for the properties.
	Um, and again, this must've been 91, maybe 92.
	Um, and for a couple of years after that, um, Yeah.
	And so, what was he doing for you?
	You said that you came into contact with him through his wife, who, of course, was doing some bookkeeping for your business, and she had, what, just said, oh, my husband does some handiwork, or how did you come into touch with him, and what kind of work was he doing for you?
	Because I know you said that his wife had introduced you, but what was the extent of the work?
	Because what we've seen online...
	Go ahead.
	Yeah.
	His wife profiled him to me as, you know, a handyman, knowledgeable construction.
	He did some roofing projects.
	We had a lot of roofs that needed repairs.
	And he was an all around jobber, if you will.
	So he began to do some work and we became to be familiar.
	As I said, his wife was a sweetheart.
	Very, very accomplished and I've been to their house for dinner.
	They've been for years.
	We just worked as just any employer or any staffer on a property management company's payroll would be.
	He wasn't on payroll.
	I think I paid him on a per job basis.
	And he was a good worker.
	And personally, the times I've been to their home, the times we spent together on the job, a guy who... Laura, this is a perfect scenario for me to share again with your listeners.
	How you never know the person next door.
	This person was all American apple pie.
	Just had a child.
	I lived in Greensboro.
	Greensboro, mind you, is not a large city.
	It's not like Raleigh or Charlotte.
	It's in the central northern part of the state.
	And there's a certain closeness to smaller towns, as I'm sure you could appreciate.
	But again, when I woke up on Monday morning, and I saw this, okay?
	My jaw hit my lap.
	It couldn't be.
	Can't be.
	Ryan.
	But I'm saying to myself, wait, you know, this Ryan, Ryan Greensboro?
	And yeah, the dots got connected and flabbergasted to hear some of the things that the reports are saying with his involvement with Afghanistan, Ukraine, you know, the horrible, horrible stories.
	Again, my position, non-political, I've got no ideological thing here.
	This is a person who I knew who you wouldn't at all, for one minute, consider could perform these kind of acts, certainly learn more about him in the last 48 hours, but just how and when
	Did this transition take place is what I've been kind of stretching my mind on because I left Greensboro in 2000 and moved down to Palm Beach.
	And we sold off those properties.
	So it's totally, you know, separate and time gone, sold properties.
	So for 30, 25 years now, I've been down here, no connection, no communication.
	With the Roots, with his wife, or with Ryan.
	What really I think your listeners need to understand from someone who was in the crosshairs, or not in the crosshairs, but in the company of someone like this, that can become radicalized in a way that wants to take out The Commander-in-Chief, the former Commander-in-Chief, the former President.
	I understand also he had other designs and he had his crosshairs on other political figures.
	But when I left Greensboro, absolutely no sign of a darkness or a clouded, a penchant for firearms, political positions at that time.
	We never Never talked about stuff like that.
	I don't know, but when I first heard it, I said to myself, wow.
	It wasn't until I contacted a family member who's a retired law enforcement federal agent, and I said, what do you think I should do?
	And I was on the fence, you know, as to whether or not I wanted to put my head above the waterline, so to speak.
	And he said, call the Secret Service right now.
	And that's what gave me the impetus to pick up the phone and to dial the Secret Service.
	I talked with the local agent here in the West Palm Beach office.
	What'd they say to you?
	Some of the details.
	And at that point, he had told me that the FBI would probably get in touch with me.
	They have not, as we speak.
	Did they say anything else to you?
	Well, you know, they said thank you very much.
	I mean, I'm sure they're getting all kinds of calls, but this is a bona fide, I knew him scenario.
	But from times before, any signs of his going off the cliff took place.
	I, I, I, uh, So we never mentioned anything political to you when, uh, when, uh, you guys were employed.
	Did you ever have any, uh, political discussions at all?
	Cause now we're seeing this guy's a registered Democrat and he, uh, I can't say.
	Of course, again, 30 years ago.
	and his posts online show that he was a Biden-Harris supporter.
	He even had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck in Honolulu.
	We've seen from the screenshots of the photos that have been taken outside of his home.
	And so did he ever make any politically charged comments to you?
	I can't say, of course, again, 30 years ago.
	I might have mentioned to you before the show here that we did have a fundraiser at our family home in Greensboro for Jesse Helms, who was a rather right-wing, well, right-of-center USA.
	Senator.
	And we had a fundraiser at our home, and Vice President Daniel Quayle came.
	And a lot of friends in town were, oh, I'd love to meet Dan Quayle.
	I had to remind him it was a fundraiser.
	You'd be prepared to pay a $500 ticket to come to the show.
	And he kind of pressed me on it, and I never really thought of it.
	But as a handyman, he was volunteering his services to maybe work around the house.
	At this point, the Secret Service set up command centers like they do for presidential.
	It kind of dawned on me that he kind of pressed it, but again, I cannot say in any definitive way that he made any insinuations or any comments about his political stripes.
	So, I didn't think of it then.
	I had other friends that wanted to come that paid the fee and joined the crowd, but he chose not to.
	Life went on.
	And again, that was the early 90s.
	I think it was 91 or 92.
	And again, it wasn't until 2000 that I left Greensboro.
	Again, with no contact whatsoever with the Rus, either his wife or himself from that point forward. - What else can you tell us about his personal life I mean, you said that his wife worked for you and that you were at their house for dinner.
	Did they get along?
	Was that his first marriage?
	Like I said, it was the apple pie American family.
	They had a wonderful relationship.
	I don't know what it's like now.
	Like I said, I don't know.
	But at that time, they just had their baby boy.
	And there was no signs, there was no triggers that ever, in a million years, would lead me to believe that this is the kind of person that would try to take out A former president of the United States.
	It's still, as we speak, I get goosebumps knowing that I was in the company of this gentleman.
	I can't imagine what his life is like now, but whatever he's going to be facing, I think most would agree, it's probably very well deserved.
	So what's your message to people?
	I guess now that you have had this, I guess you could say a surprise moment.
	You said that you woke up and your jaw hit the floor.
	I guess it really just goes to show you that you have no idea who you could have inside your home or who you could have working for you or who your next door neighbor could be.
	I mean, you're basically telling us that this guy who appears to be a total lunatic online and Uh, has really crazy political views and has a very long-standing criminal record that, uh, he appeared to be totally normal.
	And so what I'm trying to understand is where, where did his criminals, where did his criminal history pick up?
	Cause you're telling us that you were not aware of anything when he was working for you in the nineties, but we're seeing that this guy was a convicted felon.
	Were you aware of any felonies when he was working for you?
	To my knowledge?
	I don't think we did a criminal check on him.
	But again, to wake up and see this stuff, okay?
	Again, the impetus that made me want to take your call and be invited on your show was, if anything, to shed some light on drawing a line in the sand where someone that knew him quite well, that worked for me, as did his wife,
	Back in the 91, 92, 93, mid-90s, had absolutely no spots or stripes when it came to what he became.
	And that's pretty scary.
	That's pretty scary.
	What triggered him to go off the cliff like this?
	I don't know.
	Maybe when he moved to Hawaii, as I understand, in 2017?
	Where he became indoctrinated?
	I can't answer that.
	I think that's a question that we'll all learn quite soon when they do a full investigation on his movements and his electronic footprint, phones and Facebook and Internet.
	You know, I think they're pulling all that together now.
	And just to repeat, to draw the line in the sand that up until 93 or 94, This is a guy you trust babysitting for you, he and his wife.
	It blows my mind, okay?
	Let me say this.
	Back in 1963, when I was eight years old, when JFK was assassinated, I'm eight years old.
	I didn't move from that television for a week.
	My father even said to me, what's the matter with you?
	I said, dad, And again, eight years old.
	And then again in 68, when I was 13 years old, watching the RFK and the Martin Luther King.
	I mean, it impacted me so much that I didn't know.
	I couldn't answer why.
	But to then learn that my paths had crossed with a would-be assassin, It shook me to the core.
	I mean, I didn't go to my office on Monday.
	Really?
	You were that shaken that you didn't go to your office?
	I'm in a totally different line of business now.
	But from those days back in Greensboro, God bless him.
	God bless him and his family.
	I hope to hell he gets the help he needs.
	And I hope he gets the justice he deserves.
	Yeah, I mean it looks like hopefully he spends the rest of his life in prison because he can't be going around trying to assassinate the President of the United States with an AK-47, but there's so many unanswered questions and hopefully we get some answers because, well, we know that we're living in a country with a weaponized justice system and We shall see.
	It's a very scary time to be a conservative and a Trump supporter in our country.
	But, Kevin, any last words you want to share with the viewers?
	Yeah, well, I mean, since this has broken and since I've presented myself to you and your platform here tonight, I am getting an incoming from friends in Greensboro.
	And should there be any other light, should we be able to shed any other light from any other perspective?
	I will be glad to share it with you.
	And by the way, outside of my call to the Secret Service, at the behest of my family member, law enforcement, retired fellow, I am not talking to any media.
	You know, I wasn't looking to throw Red meat into the news platforms, the Foxes, the NBC, the ABC.
	Because that wasn't the intent here.
	The intent is to make this a notice to anyone that's out there that you see something, you say something.
	Back then, I saw nothing.
	And there was nothing to say.
	But what a true case in point of how certain individuals become radicalized.
	I mean, I understand gun running and trying.
	I mean, it blows my mind that this person who I thought so highly of as an employee and his wife, as I say, to take this path in life.
	I'm very disappointed and very sad and very upset.
	Very upset.
	Yeah, I mean, it's shocking, especially if he really was just kind of a quiet, normal person as you described him as being.
	And that he was.
	His personality and recall, I mean, he was a quiet fellow, a polite fellow, where you never would have suspected anything.
	And you know, I have had my political antennas up.
	I worked on Capitol Hill as an intern in college.
	I worked for a senator.
	I was the editor-in-chief of my high school and college newspapers.
	I mean, I have a pretty good sense of things.
	And that one escaped me.
	It totally escaped me.
	And for all intents and purposes, I'd like to think that it escaped him until something came knocking on his door.
	And he turned the page and reinvented himself to who he is today.
	Well, thank you so much for coming on my show.
	I really appreciate you taking time to share your insights and also share some background information about this guy because, well, from the looks of it, he just looks to be a total nutjob online.
	And so it's interesting that you're saying that he was kind of normal several years ago, 30 years ago, because it makes you wonder what was the thing that made him snap or what was it that radicalized him?
	Because he truly is a radical individual.
	And after my departure from Greensboro, as I said, in 2000, but I understand he did move to Hawaii in 2017, so somewhere he equipped himself with this mindset.
	God bless him and his family.
	I'm not defending this fella, but all I'm trying to do is to share with your listeners on your platform How you just never know who your neighbor is or who your best friend is or who your employee is until you read about it in worldwide headlines like we are today.
	Scary.
	Scary thought, you know?
	You never know.
	You never know when your next door neighbor, your employer, your employer could just snap.
	But Kevin, thank you so much for coming on tonight.
	I really appreciate it.
	My pleasure, Laura.
	Thank you.
	So it's really interesting because all we've seen online about this guy, Ryan Routh, is that he's a radical.
	Let's play some of these videos, too, as I was talking about before.
	Usually when somebody commits a crime, something like this, or there's an attempted assassination, people are like, well, we don't really know about him, just like this kid.
	Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	Oh, nobody really knew about him.
	Oh, he was kind of a nerd in high school.
	But with this guy, he has a very prevalent social media, uh.
	Presence and he appears to be a recruiter for Ukraine.
	But what's even more shocking is that over the last year or two years, 2022, 2023, really beginning of 2024, media outlets had actually interviewed him.
	And I'm not just talking about obscure media outlets.
	You have reporters from CBS News who talk about the fact that they profiled him.
	New York Times actually profiled Ryan Routh about his activities in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
	And, of course, Newsweek did.
	So we're going to play some of these clips for you so that you can see these interviews and these statements from the reporters themselves.
	Ryan Ruth was the suspect in an alleged assassination attempt on former President Trump.
	I immediately recognized the name because I had been in touch with Ryan Ruth for over a year in the early stages of the war in Ukraine.
	Like thousands of other international volunteers, he apparently went to Ukraine to help.
	I don't believe that he was fighting himself, but he had put up signs in Kiev, Ukraine's capital, offering to help other foreigners find places in Ukrainian battalions.
	And that's how I initially came across him.
	I spoke with him, I think, once on the phone and texted frequently, and he put me in touch with several foreign fighters.
	Now, he seemed very genuine and passionate about supporting Ukraine.
	He mentioned plans to bring in thousands of Afghan and Syrian fighters, which I took, frankly, with a grain of salt.
	In an interview with the news website Semaphore, he claimed he'd been unable to get visas for Afghan fighters, but we don't know if he was actually in touch with any Ukrainian officials at all.
	Now, I've met American volunteers everywhere from Syria to Ukraine.
	Some are experienced soldiers and clear about the dangers they're facing, but others seem less well informed and their motivations can be quite confused.
	To be honest, Ryan Ruth did at times seem fairly naive.
	At one point he sent me an audio track of a song he'd apparently recorded about the carnage caused by the war in Ukraine.
	In November of last year, he told me he was back in the US, in Hawaii, and that was the last time I heard from him.
	Wow, Holly.
	Fascinating.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	Additionally, Ryan Routh had actually appeared in a recruitment video for the Azov Battalion I believe we have that video, too.
	And really just shocking stuff because, as you know, the Azov Battalion, the Azov Battalion are Ukrainian Nazis.
	And it was Joe Biden's State Department under Antony Blinken that signed off on on giving weapons to the Azov Battalion.
	So our own government is providing weapons to Ukrainian Nazis.
	And so the fact that this guy was so publicized and they profiled him in CBS and New York Times, and after we show you this recruitment video for Azov Battalion, I'll show you this Newsweek interview.
	It's a bit long.
	It's about 10 minutes long.
	But you can see who this guy is because the mainstream media is not showing you these interviews because, well, why would the mainstream media want to highlight the fact that they profiled and had communication with the guy that almost tried to assassinate Donald Trump?
	So let's go ahead and play this clip. - I am grateful to everyone who goes to the actions in Ukraine and in the world today.
	To everyone who understands how critical the situation is in Mariupol.
	To everyone who shouts about Mariupol.
	Every day on Azovstal are new deaths and new wounded who have no opportunity to be treated here.
	The attention of the whole world is now tied to Mariupol and Azov-Stal.
	But this is not enough.
	We need to make a green corridor for the evacuation of our wounded.
	We need to immediately provide them with qualified medical assistance.
	Believe me, these guys deserve evacuation.
	Let us also take the bodies of our deceased comrades.
	We call on the whole civilized world to join the guarantee of safety and evacuation of our soldiers, who have made it impossible and continue to protect the homeland, which must do everything to ensure that these heroes can return to their families alive.
	There may be no other way to save the lives of people on Azovstal.
	Glory to Ukraine!
	Glory to heroes!
	of the people of the army who are now in the city of Maríupol, we will return to our President.
	Valdemir Alexandrovich, please, go to the UNO's representatives and put the records of our wounded, the military garnizone, and take the bodies of the people of the people.
	All the families and all the Ukraine will ask you to do this.
	I am Maríupol, I am Ukraine.
	Sorry, it's really hard, but the purpose of the action is to appeal to both leaders.
	World organization with a demand to provide a green corridor and evacuation of all survivors.
	All.
	All people who... It's really hard, but the purpose of the action is to appeal to world leaders.
	Here he is!
	Pay attention!
	There he is.
	What organization with a demand to provide a green corridor, an evacuation of all survivors?
	So how did this guy go from being apolitical to not talking politics and being normal, as Kevin described him, and not engaging in criminal activity and not engaging in criminal activity to becoming a convicted felon with a rap sheet and then becoming a mercenary in Ukraine.
	screen.
	Here's the Newsweek interview where they had an extensive, it's about 10 minutes long.
	And so we'll play a few moments of it and you can kind of see this guy for who he is and, and hear about his background.
	And, uh, this is what Newsweek did.
	This was in 2022.
	They interviewed Ryan Routh and asked him about his involvement in the Ukraine war.
	So here you go.
	Let's play the clip.
	Please tell me who you are and why are you here?
	Uh, 56 from the U S U S, uh, from North Carolina.
	Originally, so I live in Hawaii now, so flew all the way from Hawaii here.
	So, the question as far as why I'm here, to me, you know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white.
	This is about good versus evil.
	This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.
	I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and And generous and unselfish and take care of one another and it's just a matter of, you know, we need to stand up for that.
	That is the most important thing in the world is just to show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united so that we feed each other and make sure that, you know, we all move forward as one collective whole unit.
	So, you know, we feel the pain of one country's failure and their conflicts and We enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together and for some reason Russia does not grasp this concept that we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and be normal human beings.
	This is 2022.
	We have to work together.
	It seems asinine that we have a leader in a country that does not understand the concept of Of being unselfish and being generous and being kind and just the basic moral values that are required by human beings these days.
	It blows my mind.
	And what are you doing here in Ukraine?
	My initial goal was to come and fight.
	I think everybody around the globe should be motivated to come here and support the Ukrainians and support the army.
	No matter what gender, age, anything.
	Everybody should be here.
	Supporting the army, but I'm 56.
	So initially they were like, well, I have no military experience.
	So they're like, you're not an ideal candidate.
	So they said not right this minute.
	So plan B was to come here to Kiev and promote getting more people here.
	You know, we need thousands and thousands and thousands of people here fighting with the Ukrainians.
	We need, we need, you know, we've got 190 countries around the world and we need thousands from all of them.
	If the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen.
	And we've gotten some wonderful people here, but it's a small fraction of the number that should be here.
	If we have 5,000, you know, to 10,000 people here fighting, you know, that is just a minuscule amount of the 5 billion people on the globe.
	You know, we need everyone here fighting.
	That's why I'm in Kiev.
	So every project that I promote is about getting people here to support the Ukrainians.
	We're at a critical juncture in this war where we are sitting on the fence as far as whether good or evil is going to win.
	You know, right now we're looking at a situation where the world is waning and it's thinking that this is important or not.
	And we're at a point where, you know, all right, are we going to stand for humanity, for human rights, for everything that is good?
	With the world?
	Or are we just going to ignore it?
	If everybody is complacent and doesn't join this fight, then guess who's going to win?
	It might take 10 years, but we're going to lose this battle if everyone around the globe does not stop what they're doing, get off the couch, and come to Ukraine and defend the human rights of everyone around the globe.
	This is the most important thing going on in the world today.
	So, sitting around and letting life go on as normal and complaining about gas prices and complaining about, you know, your luxury life in whatever country you live in, is unacceptable.
	As human beings, we must support each other.
	We cannot turn our backs on anyone around the world and expect the problem to go away.
	So, I've been dealing with Russia for my entire life, you know.
	We had one period where it was okay, but now we've let it slip back into into terrorism, so it's just the world needs to respond.
	You know, why world leaders are not sending military is beyond me.
	We're going to have to elect new leaders the next go-around that have a backbone and that, you know, have the fortitude to say, hey, we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior.
	This type of behavior is unacceptable anywhere, anywhere, anyplace, you know?
	So it's just, it's totally unacceptable.
	And why people are not responding, I do not know.
	What impressed you the most since you are here?
	My trip to Irpin was pretty emotional.
	So, you know, going and seeing the buildings that were burned and destroyed and things of that nature.
	I think more emotional for me also is just talking to the guys that have come here.
	You know, when you talk to a 20-year-old guy that sold everything he owns to come here and fight, that is heroism.
	You know, he's coming here to risk his life for humanity, for the Ukrainians.
	You know, guys that sell everything they own to come here and support the Ukrainians while others sit at home and do nothing.
	You know, it's totally mind-blowing how we have this divide of people that are selfless and courageous and wonderful.
	And willing to sell everything they own to come here and support, you know, keep people from getting killed, to shelter kids and protect Ukrainians, and others that just, you know, want to sit at home and not.
	It's just, it, you know, it's an indictment of our entire human society to say, hey, you know, where do we stand?
	Do we stand for good?
	Or do we just not care?
	I mean, does the world not care?
	That's the feeling I wrestle with every day.
	Every day in my interactions with everybody.
	You know, every one of us is responsible for the outcome of this war.
	Every one of us.
	You know, by our actions and what we do.
	And you know, when I call back home and say, hey, I need five bucks so I can put enough money together to get a vest for a Ukrainian, and I get no response.
	I'm like, I'm not sure that the world is as wonderful as I once thought it was.
	I had thought that everyone would respond, you know, very generously and unselfishly and, you know, you don't have to come.
	But, you know, if I asked for five dollars to buy a vest to save a Ukrainian life, it seems like that would be a no-brainer.
	So you get the point.
	I mean this guy has been completely radicalized into thinking that he has to actually go and prove that he is a good part of humanity and he's urging American citizens to go risk their lives to get involved in a foreign conflict that we really have no business getting involved in and of course
	He went from being just kind of a quiet guy, working on roofs, doing handyman work, to actively recruiting people, American citizens and other soldiers, people from around the world, as I said before, Afghanistan and Pakistan, to go fight in Ukraine.
	And the question is, is who's funding him?
	And how did he Get connected with Newsweek and the New York Times and CBS News and all these different outlets.
	We have another clip of him saying that he's looking for revolutionaries to take the whole system down.
	Let's go ahead and play that clip.
	The Ukrainians have a right to fight back.
	I don't do paper, though.
	I don't care if you do paper or not.
	I'm looking for revolutionaries.
	What number of people want to take this whole system down?
	Bro, I'm a veteran.
	Do you need me?
	What kind of veteran are you?
	Bro, I served in Newtown.
	Well, I think it's better to serve and fight in the powers.
	Fucking over the system.
	Bro, give me a Glock and a Hellcat.
	Take a look at this!
	Bro, but I don't do paper, though.
	I just told you that.
	Come on, dude, then get away.
	We don't need you.
	People aren't serious.
	I'm serious, but I don't do paper, bro.
	You're literally killing the environment.
	We're moving on.
	You go ahead and have your lunch.
	No, bro, I'm going to class.
	I'm a scholar.
	Go to class!
	Very bizarre, erratic behavior.
	Here's another clip of Ryan Routh while he's in Ukraine.
	Good morning.
	Most wonder what I'm doing in Ukraine.
	This is about a center to help people when they come from other countries around the world to have a location.
	Someone to talk to as a greeting committee to get them in the location that they need to be.
	So that's the whole focus of this project is to help foreigners be as useful as possible.
	That's our mission and job here to get everybody where they need to be to maximize their potential.
	Everyone here is self-funded so everyone's out of money and struggling to buy fuel and get everything they need just to survive.
	Any support would be tremendously appreciated.
	Thanks so much.
	You can tell he's really not all mensly there.
	Let's go ahead and also play clip number four as well.
	Proof that Ryan Routh was coordinating with foreign soldiers in support of Ukraine.
	Ukraine is reluctant to be cooperative.
	That's Ryan Routh, a U.S.
	citizen who set up the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine to help connect foreigners to Ukrainian military units.
	I'm talking to over a hundred soldiers every day and pretty much everybody, all of my contacts in Ukraine, they were adamant and pretty much yelled at me every time that I suggested that we bring in Afghans.
	The Ukrainian government didn't respond to our request for comment, but a source close to the officials in Kiev told Semaphore that their top concern is the question of loyalty in the thick fog of war.
	The biggest thing is spies.
	They're afraid that anybody and everybody is a Russian spy.
	Those concerns aren't completely unfounded.
	Russia's notorious private military group, Wagner, has reportedly begun recruiting Afghan commandos.
	Semaphore reviewed these text messages from Afghan soldiers, which tell the same story.
	Semaphore, New York Times, CBS, Newsweek.
	I mean, how many media outlets are going to talk to this guy in the years leading up to the attempted assassination of President Trump?
	And then we find out during the press conference the other day outside of West Palm Beach, Florida, with the FBI and the Martin County Sheriff's Office that the FBI had this guy on their radar since 2019.
	If they had him on their radar since 2019 and they knew he was a convicted felon, then why wasn't he ever arrested for possessing a weapon?
	And why wasn't he arrested beforehand?
	President Trump met with the deputies who apprehended Ryan Rouse today at Mar-a-Lago.
	We have that clip.
	Let's go ahead and play that clip.
	That's good-looking stuff right there.
	That's good-looking human beings, huh?
	Mr. President, of course.
	Great job.
	Great job.
	You can move it down the line.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm still here.
	Mr. President, thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	You got it.
	So, who's your best man here?
	Who's the best guy?
	Oh, that's pretty good.
	That's good, huh?
	And we actually have the body cam footage that has been released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office of them apprehending and arresting Ryan Rutherford.
	Let's go ahead and play that clip.
	Driver!
	Take two steps to your right!
	Take two steps to your right!
	Driver!
	Walk straight back!
	Keep walking!
	Keep walking!
	Keep that long!
	Keep that long!
	Keep the long down!
	Alright!
	Nice!
	Now after the second attempted assassination on his life, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to release a statement in which he actually condemned Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's rhetoric, blaming their rhetoric for the type of incitement to violence that he's being subjected to, right?
	All this talk about how he's a threat to democracy and he's a dictator and how at the end of America, as we know it, if he gets elected as president and so All these Democrats took to social media to give their fake thoughts and prayers about Donald Trump and say, oh, well, political violence has no place in our country.
	And yet at the same time, they couldn't help themselves from posting negative, nasty things about Donald Trump.
	Well, in the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination.
	So here's a clip from Hillary Clinton, who just after Donald Trump had almost been assassinated, she went on MSNBC to Continue the talking points that he is a threat to democracy.
	And boosting Trump back in 2016, but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence because
	She's calling for people to be charged for misinformation while she's spewing misinformation about Donald Trump being, well, a threat to democracy.
	So they want to jail you, right?
	If you speak out against the government, they want to jail you.
	If you criticize their policies, they want to call you A proponent of misinformation if you say that they are the ones inciting violence and as you just saw Hillary Clinton who almost became President of the United States wants to jail people for misinformation aka support of President Donald Trump.
	It got worse because today during the White House press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre, who just days ago was attacking me and Donald Trump, accusing me of being a racist conspiracy theorist, she again doubled down and said that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy today and said that it was Donald Trump's rhetoric that was inciting violence.
	Go ahead and play the clip.
	Thanks, Green.
	Donald Trump blamed President Biden and Vice President Harris for the latest assassination attempt against him.
	He claimed without evidence that their rhetoric is causing him to be, quote, shot at.
	How is the White House responding to those comments?
	Well, I love that you added without evidence, because I want to be very clear here.
	The president and the vice president have always forcefully, forcefully condemned violence in all forms.
	including political violence, and we certainly have never encouraged any violence in any way.
	If anything, this is a president and a vice president has been pretty forceful about that.
	And, you know, when it comes to differences in issues and policies, we believe that there should be a conversation.
	There was a debate just last week, right?
	There should be a conversation and a back and forth about that, a healthy conversation.
	And it's crucial that we do that.
	And the president has also said when it comes to, you know, violent rhetoric, we've got to bring the temperature down.
	You heard that directly from this president.
	And it is not the time to tear Americans apart.
	We cannot do that or divide our country.
	The President and the Vice President is always going to call that out.
	But they have been very clear, very forceful on condemning any form of political violence.
	So do the President and Vice President believe that the kind of language that Trump used in those comments I just said are contributing to the tension and divisiveness you just talked about?
	Be really clear, and we've always have been, it is important to bring down the temperature, to bring that temperature down of that political violent rhetoric.
	We've been very clear about that.
	And we believe, this president believes, let's not forget why he decided to run in 2020, was about that, was about making sure that we bring the country together, that we bring people together, and it was not about dividing.
	And so We're going to continue to be very, very clear about that.
	We're going to continue to call that out.
	And they did, January 6.
	The president and the vice president called that out.
	When Paul Pelosi was attacked, was attacked because of political rhetoric, violent rhetoric, we called that out.
	And when the first incident happened a couple weeks ago, the butler, after that aftermath, the president called that out as well.
	And so he's very consistent.
	He thinks both sides should be very clear about that.
	It's not just the president or the vice president.
	Every leader, national leader, or any leader in this country should be calling out political violence and bringing the country together, not dividing it.
	Just to clarify, so you're saying that the President and Vice President believe that former President Donald Trump should be toning down his rhetoric?
	So, I'll say this.
	President Biden has been clear-eyed about the threat that the former President represents to our democracy.
	He's been clear-eyed about that.
	From his role, let's not forget, from his role of January 6th, where he refused to accept the outcomes of free and fair elections.
	Look what happened on that day.
	Some of you were there at the Capitol.
	Some of you have colleagues who were there at the Capitol, reported and saw what happened.
	Angry people went there to try to overturn a free and fair election.
	And so it's not going to stop the President and the Vice President to call out, to continue to strongly call out when it comes to protecting our democracy.
	We have to be forceful about that.
	We have to be very clear.
	We can resolve our differences.
	We can have differences in policies and issues.
	That is okay.
	It is important that we have differences there.
	But when it comes to political violence, we have to condemn it.
	When it comes to political violence, they want to condemn it, right?
	Except when the assassin literally has a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck.
	Let's go ahead and show this photograph if you haven't already seen it.
	Well, this is from Ryan Rao's truck that was parked outside of his home in Hawaii that was raided by the feds today.
	And what is that?
	Well, oh yeah, that's a Biden-Harris bumper sticker.
	You're going to have to zoom in a little bit more because, well, that's a bit of a Blurred photo, but there's another photo that I had actually posted online.
	There's a YouTube video.
	Let's go ahead and play the YouTube video right there in the article.
	You can see that he's a Biden-Harris supporter, and where's the media condemning that type of political violence?
	Well, they don't even want to talk about that.
	We're going to get a clear photo since that one's a bit blurred, but you can read that National Pulse article I posted about this as well on my Twitter account.
	Be sure that you are following me.
	We are live right now on X and Rumble, so please go to rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
	Share the live link and also share the live stream on X. Follow me on X and Truth Social at Laura Loomer.
	Here's the video of his home.
	So we're going to play this clip for you.
	And, uh, well, you can see for yourself and, uh, he's got a Biden Harris bumper sticker on there.
	So where's the condemnation, Kareen?
	I don't see it.
	Like I said, pretty kind, uh, uh, I've traveled a lot for work and, uh, my wife has been here You know, on her own, and most of the neighbors around here have taken good care of her, and he's been one of them, like, never mean-spirited and always welcoming, just in general.
	Every interaction we had with him was very welcoming and kind.
	I mean, it's just, we heard the news today and it's just been very surprising and, you know, obviously it sounds like it's an alleged occurrence, but, you know, the officials do their diligence in finding out what really happened, but if he did have anything to do with it, it's very shocking to us, certainly.
	You clearly see the Biden-Harris bumper sticker there, but, uh, well, no mention of that, right?
	No mention of that because, well, the media doesn't want to talk about the fact that one of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' own supporters tried to assassinate Donald Trump, just like one of their supporters tried to assassinate him on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	Both Thomas Matthew Crooks and This guy.
	Hey, this Ryan Routh individual.
	They were both donors to act blue.
	What does that mean?
	Well, that means that they were donors to the Democrat Party's largest donation platform.
	To support and donate to Democrat candidates.
	So no, they're not conservatives.
	And I love how the media loves to say, well, they were disgruntled Trump supporters.
	No, these are Democrats.
	These are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris supporters.
	And so again, once again, they want to say that there's no room for political violence, but they don't actually want to identify the fact that these people are their supporters.
	There's a lot of people in the media who refuse to check themselves and their rhetoric, but there was one person who surprisingly actually came out on the record and apologized to Donald Trump for his years of inciting this type of rhetoric.
	And I don't really know if I believe Chris Cuomo.
	I kind of think that he's trying to ingratiate himself back in with the right after he was fired, I believe, from CNN or left CNN.
	I don't really think that he's genuine.
	I think that there's a lot of people that are trying to rebrand themselves and you have people on the right that are trying to sell out Trump because they think Kamala is going to get in and they're trying to ingratiate themselves with the left.
	That's what you have people like Marjorie Taylor Green and Lindsey Graham doing.
	You saw this week they condemned me and use those those words like racist and bigot because they are going around.
	Well, I know Marjorie specifically has been telling people in Georgia that she doesn't think that that Trump can win, right?
	And so she's hoping that she can ingratiate herself with the Democrats and try to get some type of position or some type of cover, because we all know that they're going to come after all of us when Donald Trump, you know, if he doesn't get in, if he doesn't get in.
	I mean, look, if he doesn't get in, that's the end of our country as we know it.
	So I believe that Donald Trump is going to win.
	But if they are successful in stealing this election, And when they are successful in jailing Donald Trump, which is what they will 100% do, if they steal this election and they don't kill him beforehand, we already know they're trying to kill him.
	Well, they're going to come after all of us.
	So part of me wonders if some of these leftists who are now speaking out in support of Trump are simply just doing so because, well, they've seen the writing on the wall, and they know that they're going to kind of be kept at a distance.
	Or in the case of somebody like a Mark Zuckerberg, for example, maybe he's worried that he's going to be jailed for election interference.
	And so I'm very critical.
	And you can think what you want about Trump.
	He does not have many more full-throated critics of what he says and does than me.
	that are now all of a sudden changing their tune.
	Okay?
	I don't find it to be genuine.
	But regardless, we'll go ahead and play the clip of Chris Cuomo apologizing to Trump.
	And you can think what you want about Trump.
	He does not have many more full-throated critics of what he says and does than me.
	Okay?
	And yet I called him today because I am ashamed of how we are responding and not responding to the threats on him.
	And And I feel for his family.
	And I know you can roll your eyes and say, Oh yeah, he asked for it.
	Listen, that's your choice.
	And I think it's a wrong choice.
	Okay?
	We got to get out of the judgment business unless it's judging ourselves.
	And you got to start rewarding things that are better.
	And I got to tell you, I don't know how he stays in the race.
	I don't know how he got up after being shot in the head.
	And you people who try to mitigate that, you need to check yourself.
	He gets up, pumping his fists, stays in the race, barely even talks about it.
	Now look, I do believe he has wasted opportunities and he has another one now.
	Who better than Trump?
	To say, we can do better.
	I can do better.
	I know he keeps doubling down on his angry rhetoric.
	How can he not?
	It keeps working for him.
	I don't know that it gets him elected.
	My theory is that he needs to expand.
	He had a chance to do it after he was the target of an assassination.
	At the RNC.
	He had a chance to say, I know what got me here.
	It's not going to get me where I want us to be.
	He did not take that chance.
	He now has another chance.
	Oh, you're supporting Trump.
	I'm supporting us.
	The idea that I am a Trump supporter is laughable to the man on your screen right now.
	That is not what this is.
	I am worried about us.
	I am ashamed of what's happening around us right now.
	And the relative lack of concern about it.
	I just don't see how we get anywhere better than where we are right now.
	Look, I'm not blaming Democrats.
	I'm really not.
	I blame the guy.
	And whatever disease he has that the people around him either knew about and did nothing about.
	The guy was arrested 20 years ago for barricading himself in a room with all these weapons.
	Why are we caring about one another?
	Where are we taking care of our own?
	Where are we pushing to get help?
	We're leaving people languishing, dying on the streets.
	What is going on with us?
	I don't get it.
	That's why I reached out to Trump.
	I wanted to just say, listen, I'm really sorry that this is going on and it's being dealt with this way.
	Not because I'm in favor of his politics or what he says.
	I criticize him all the time.
	That's my job.
	And he deserves it.
	But he doesn't deserve this.
	A guy pointing an AK-47 at him while he's playing golf?
	And we take solace in the fact that the guy didn't get any rounds off?
	That does not work for me.
	If I had been through what that guy's been through in the last two months, you would not know where I am.
	You would never see me on TV again.
	No way I would do that.
	I don't know how he does it.
	He's got kids.
	They're adults.
	But he's got grandkids.
	He's got a wife.
	People giving crap to Melania Trump, worrying about whether or not there was a plot around his husband.
	How could she not?
	I don't think she's right, but I totally get why she feels that way, and people mock her.
	And then her husband has a guy pointed with an AK-47.
	Where are those people apologizing?
	That's what it's time for!
	I should not have come at you, Melania Trump, for suggesting that maybe there was something more afoot.
	I get your paranoia.
	I get your feelings.
	You have a right to that.
	There's nothing wrong with saying that, with being a basic, decent human being.
	It has gotten too out of control, too far from where we need to be and how we need to be.
	And I don't know what to do about it.
	I don't know.
	I want to think he's genuine, I really do.
	But he spent years at CNN spreading lies about the Russia conspiracy hoax and demonizing Donald Trump, calling him a dictator, making accusations that he's Hitler, and just now, all of a sudden?
	I don't know.
	I think they're, you know, where was this outrage after the first attempted assassination?
	Where was the outrage when they impeached President Trump and they demonized him and people were spreading death threats against him and his supporters?
	I want to believe Chris Cuomo, but there's just something so disingenuous about somebody who only now, only now is saying that Well, maybe it went a bit too far.
	Well, maybe I need to apologize now.
	This has been going on for about nine years now.
	Let's go to the chat.
	Let's see what people think.
	Do you think that Chris Cuomo is genuine or do you think that he's full of shit?
	I just don't think he's being genuine.
	I just don't trust it.
	I really don't.
	I think that these people are worried that Kamala Harris is going to lose.
	I mean, God forbid if she gets in, we're all screwed.
	But if she loses, okay, well, these people are probably thinking to themselves, shit, what's going to happen?
	I'm going to be on the out.
	I'm going to be on the out.
	What's going to happen now?
	Am I going to go to jail?
	Am I going to be prosecuted?
	Am I going to be demonized?
	Am I going to lose viewership?
	I just think a lot of people don't want to admit that they think Donald Trump's gonna win.
	I think they've astroturfed Kamala Harris so much.
	I really do believe that Donald Trump is gonna win if they don't kill him before the election's over.
	I really do.
	And so, you just see people all of a sudden coming out of the woodwork and I just don't trust it.
	I don't trust it.
	These people are so two-faced.
	I don't see anybody in the chat that says they trust him.
	Everybody says he's full of shit.
	I think he's worried about his reputation because he sees so many people.
	Criticizing the left.
	Telling the media they've gone too far, inciting violence, and he's probably trying to dissociate himself from it because, well, he's worked for, he worked for CNN, the biggest perpetrators of this, along with MSNBC.
	Maybe I'm too cynical.
	I just don't really like people very much.
	I'm not a people person.
	I'm a dog person.
	I don't trust people.
	I just don't.
	I just don't really trust these people.
	Been around too long.
	Been in the media too long.
	Been into politics too long.
	So slimy.
	I just don't trust them.
	I just have a hard time thinking that any of these people are genuine.
	I think they're all opportunists.
	Makes you really wonder what their true agenda is.
	Perhaps I'm too cynical, but I just don't really trust any of these people, left or right, so that's why I like sticking to myself, to be honest, because you can't trust anybody.
	You really can't.
	I mean, what is it that really made him wake up and say, well, things have gotten too far?
	Things have gone too far.
	I don't believe him.
	I think that Chris Cuomo is a bullshit artist.
	That's just my personal opinion.
	He can call and apologize all he wants.
	I think he's just looking out for himself.
	I think we're going to see a lot more people apologize and come to their senses and realize they were wrong.
	And, oh wow, I was so wrong.
	I was so wrong about Donald Trump.
	Are you wrong?
	Were you wrong?
	Do you really think you're wrong?
	Or are you just worried that he's going to win?
	Before we continue, and I get to your questions in the chat, I want to take a moment to thank the second sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed, and that, of course, is 1775 Coffee.
	Did you know that 45% of the coffee you drink could be loaded with mold toxins, and even after roasting, a lot of that still makes it into your cup?
	Well, at 1775 Coffee, we know that you deserve better.
	I'm drinking my coffee here.
	You can see that.
	I don't lie to you guys.
	I actually Promote products that I personally utilize and personally drink, so it's a little cold now because I've been sitting here for the last hour and a half, but I'm drinking out of my Donald Trump Never Surrender Cup.
	1775 beans are grown high in the Bolivian mountains, where the cooler climate slows growth, producing dense, bold flavors.
	Only 30% of the world's coffee is single origin like ours.
	And when you choose 1775 coffee, you're getting real quality coffee without the mold and the nonsense.
	Quite delicious.
	You're gonna laugh at me.
	But I was at the grocery store and I grabbed some of that pumpkin spice creamer.
	I'm not really a pumpkin spice person but there was something about it that made me want to buy it.
	So I'm drinking my 1775 coffee and I flavored it tonight with just a little bit of pumpkin spice.
	What I really like about 1775 Coffee is it stands for equality, freedom, and rejecting the corporate nonsense that's taken over the coffee industry.
	So if you're ready for a real cup of coffee, visit 1775Coffee.com slash Loomer.
	1775coffee.com slash Lumer.
	Use code Lumer at 1775coffee.com slash Lumer, and you can get 15% off your first order.
	And the good thing about 1775 coffee when you visit their website is when you purchase coffee from them, well, you're supporting a free speech coffee partnered with Rumble.
	And when you use my code, those proceeds, part of that proceeds at least, go towards supporting my independent journalism here on Rumble and my show, Loomer Unleashed, which is 100% sponsored and supported by you, the people.
	And that's why it's important for you to support the sponsors of Lumer Unleashed because, well, without your support of my sponsors, then I don't really have a show, do I?
	So that's why I'm able to provide you with unfiltered and uncensored truth, and I'm able to bring you all of this information that I probably wouldn't be able to bring you if I worked for a mainstream media outlet, but let's be honest, they would never hire me anyway because, well, they all hate me.
	I mean, we all saw that this week, so I'm probably the most hated woman in America right now.
	I don't really care.
	I learned a long time ago that all of these people are very fake and phony.
	I live a very quiet life actually.
	It's funny because I've been getting some phone calls this week from people and they're like, are you okay?
	I just noticed the media is really attacking you and it's really vicious and are you doing okay?
	And it's just, you know.
	When you're banned and when you're silenced and when you're attacked in the media for like 10 years straight you just get used to it and after a while you realize you can't depend on anybody and it's better to live your life totally alone.
	I've realized that it's better to live your life totally isolated and totally alone from all these people because everybody is fake.
	I mean everybody.
	Personally, I don't like leaving my house.
	I prefer just staying at home with my animals and doing my work and I don't really like leaving.
	I mean, I've gotten to the point where I just like ordering all my own groceries and having things delivered and I don't leave my place unless I absolutely need to leave my place because I just don't like people.
	There's something about working in media and there's something about working in politics that makes you just really Not like people and especially with how cowardly people are and just how they just succumb to pressure.
	I just don't like being around people.
	I really don't.
	And I really don't like being around people in the media.
	So I'm actually very happy that I don't work for a network because I don't think that I could stand having colleagues.
	I really don't.
	I really don't think that I could take it.
	My producer's laughing.
	How peaceful is it just working like with the least amount of people possible?
	Isn't it nice?
	It's great, right?
	I mean, we joke about this all the time about how it's our own little it's our own little sanctuary.
	But this is why I just don't trust these people.
	You see, I've been I've been in the media for a long time.
	And even though I haven't worked for a lot of networks, I got my career started working on Project Veritas.
	I have had the displeasure of meeting a lot of these people.
	You know, I love James O'Keefe.
	I used to work for him, and I was his communications director when I stopped doing undercover work for Project Veritas.
	And so I actually got to, you know, I had to communicate with the media and talk to a lot of these people when I was promoting the work for Project Veritas.
	And I just, I got to meet so many people from different news networks.
	And they say to you, like, you never want to meet your heroes.
	You think that these people that you grow up watching and looking at on Fox News or on the TV are great people, and they're not.
	I mean, I'm telling you, they are the worst people.
	The worst people you're ever going to meet in your life are people in politics and media.
	You just want to stay away from it.
	They're like the worst people ever.
	If I never had to leave my house ever again, I would be the happiest person in the world.
	I'm telling you right now.
	If I could just sit at home and broadcast all of my work and, you know, and break stories and break news and never have to interact with another person in my life, oh my god, I would just be the happiest person ever.
	Hopefully it gets to that point one of these days because this week was just another affirmation of how much I just don't like people.
	Figured I would tell you all how awful these people are because You notice they don't like me for a reason.
	It's not me.
	It's not me.
	I'm not the problem, okay?
	It's the fact that they are insufferable people to be around.
	These people are not loyal.
	These people are not genuine.
	And everybody in the media is so wishy-washy.
	Like, one minute they hate Trump, one minute they love Trump, and one minute they're a leftist, one minute they're on the right.
	They just move wherever they want to go for the sake of making money and, you know, gaining gaining favor with whoever's going to be writing them a check.
	And I just don't like it.
	I'd rather I'd rather have no money and at least have my integrity and know that I'm a genuine person and an honest person than have to be around these people.
	So they're just not very pleasant people.
	Let's go to the chat.
	Let's see.
	Put your questions in the chat.
	Someone said, Laura, you're a rebel and you can't fit into those companies.
	I like being able to say what I want to do.
	I like being able to say what I want to say and doing what I want to do.
	I don't like being controlled.
	And so for me, I don't want to work for anybody that's going to control me.
	And most people want to control you.
	I'm fine doing what I do.
	I enjoy what I do.
	I enjoy speaking directly to the people and having total editorial control because it allows me to speak directly to you.
	And I don't have to worry about censors and I don't have to worry about people controlling what I say, telling me what to do.
	Better to be independent.
	Scroll down.
	Keep on going.
	Somebody said, I'm very upset that they're causing President Donald Trump to almost be killed and nothing is done to make them be held accountable and shut their mouths to cause the death, Yeah, it's absolutely out of control.
	I mean, the fact that they're able to go on TV and pretend like, oh, well, You guys, we've got to tone down the rhetoric.
	We've got to tone it down.
	We have to just completely tone it down because, well, it's getting too hot in here and, well, we can't afford to have any more bullets flying.
	And then the next words out of their mouth are, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
	Donald Trump is a threat to this.
	Donald Trump's a dictator.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	The amount of cognitive dissonance is just totally out of control.
	I've never seen anything like it in my life.
	Am I going to the Trump rally in New York?
	No, I'm going to be doing, I'm working on my documentary, which is going to be released in October.
	And so docuseries on immigration.
	So I'm in the final stages of preparing my documentary.
	So.
	I'm not going to be in New York.
	I'm in crunch mode right now doing my docuseries for The Great Replacement, so that's what I'll be doing.
	But I'm sure it's going to be a great rally, just like all of his rallies are.
	are.
	Let's see.
	Speaking of ABC, I see some of you guys are asking me what I think about ABC.
	It's really interesting, isn't it, how ABC News has been so quiet about this affidavit that came out alleging that, well, from a whistleblower, alleging that they actually gave the questions to Kamala Harris before the debate.
	And David Muir, of course, and Lindsay Davis, they were so cocky during the debate.
	They were trying to fact check Donald Trump and now really it's just blown back in their faces so much because well, there's police reports coming out of Springfield, Ohio that show that people are actually having their Petsy in and now let's get this New York Post article up to David Mears.
	Viewership is down by 12% and that's a lot.
	I mean you're talking about a show on a mainstream media network to have a 12% decline in one week because of the way that he has.
	Well, just.
	Very unfairly fact-checked.
	I wouldn't even call it fact-checking because it wasn't fact-checking.
	It was a manipulation and it was an abuse of power as a moderator.
	It was a way to intervene to support Kamala Harris.
	So here we have this report from the New York Post.
	ABC's David Mears sees newscast ratings tank after his controversial debate moderating.
	Let's get this, uh, let's see right here.
	ABC's World News Tonight anchor David Muir may have driven away some viewers after the Disney-owned network irked conservatives during last week's presidential debate.
	Muir and co-moderator Lindsay Davis fact-checked former President Donald Trump five times without ever correcting Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting a plethora of conservatives to suggest the debate wasn't fair.
	Susan B. Anthony, Pro-Life America, even called for a correction after Davis made an abortion claim made during the debate during one of the fact checks on Trump that said the group was 100% inaccurate.
	Mirror's World News Tonight averaged 6.7 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the three episodes following, averaging 7.6 million.
	Leading up to the debate, the 12% drop in viewers for World News Tonight is more significant than slight declines CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News saw when comparing the three episodes.
	So clearly he's taken a blow to his credibility because, well, he's a liar and he is dishonest.
	And we've seen now that they lied about everything that they fact-checked President Trump on.
	And again, this is just another reason why would you want to work in the mainstream media?
	Why would you want to work for a mainstream media network when these are the types of people that we're dealing with here, right?
	Look at these people.
	They just constantly lie.
	They deceive the American people.
	They abuse their power.
	Why wouldn't you just want to stay home as a journalist and do your own stories and go out on your own dime or with the support of your supporters?
	And go break your own stories.
	I mean, what a miserable existence to have to work with people like this who lie for a living, who cause so much division and strife in our country so that they can make millions of dollars a year.
	Is it really worth it?
	I really want to know.
	Is it worth the millions of dollars a year to lie like that?
	To destroy the country?
	To tear the American people apart?
	These people should be ashamed of themselves.
	They should truly be ashamed of themselves.
	You know who put out a really interesting tweet about this, too, calling out ABC News was Bill Ackman.
	Let's get Bill Ackman's tweet up.
	Because, you know, Bill Ackman used to be a Democrat, and I really like Bill Ackman.
	I follow him, and he's since endorsed President Trump.
	He was a big Democrat.
	I don't know if he switched his affiliation to the Republican Party.
	But regardless, he's very outspoken, and I'm quite fond of him.
	And he tweeted, Dear Bob, I assume that you have been made aware of this affidavit, which was made public earlier today, in which a whistleblower states that ABC worked closely with the Kamala Harris campaign in sharing the substance of the questions, avoiding certain topics, and agreeing on the staging, committing to fact check Donald Trump and not Harris.
	And even more disturbing details.
	I find the allegations credible, as written, and also because the affidavit was apparently made and filed a day prior to the debate and makes mention of Harris-Smaller's podium and other details that only became public thereafter.
	While I can't determine the veracity of the allegations, they do match substantially what took place during the debate.
	The moderators of the debate, David Muir and also Lindsay Davis, have yet to respond to the allegations.
	Since they have not yet done so, one must draw a negative inference.
	In light of the seriousness of the allegations and the implications for this presidential election and for ABC's reputation and thereby Disney's and the office of the CEO, I strongly encourage you to launch an immediate investigation of this matter.
	Our democracy depends on transparency, particularly with regard to events which can impact the outcome of the presidential election.
	I ask on behalf of all voters that you treat these allegations with the seriousness they deserve.
	Thank you, Bill Ackman.
	So it's very concerning how ABC News doesn't really want to address this matter.
	The affidavit, let's open up the original tweet here.
	Here are the six pages of the affidavit.
	Let's see, this has been, oh, 9.2 million views.
	It's quite damning.
	The day before the debate, you can see scroll over.
	Move over to the other pages.
	It was agreed that Donald Trump would be subjected to fact-checking during debate while Kamala Harris would not face comparable scrutiny, and this was widely known throughout the company that Donald Trump would be fact-checked, The Harris campaign was provided with a sample questions that, while not the exact questions, covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.
	No questions regarding the perceived health of Joe Biden, no inquiries related to the tenure as Attorney General in San Francisco, and no questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds.
	and who may be involved in her administration if she is elected.
	This is pretty damning.
	And the fact that they are saying it was submitted the day before the debate makes it that much more credible.
	So hopefully they respond to these allegations because, well, that would severely reduce their credibility.
	And are we really surprised?
	I mean, this is exactly what Donna Brazile was accused of doing.
	Let's remind people.
	Let's type that in too.
	Remind people of what happened in the 2016 debate with Donna Brazile.
	So let's get that.
	Donna Brazild.
	B-R-A-Z-I-L-E, I believe.
	Here we go.
	Thank you.
	Donna Brazile is totally not sorry for leaking the CNN debate questions to Hillary Clinton.
	Donna Brazile is not apologizing for leaking CNN debate questions and topics to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
	My conscience as an activist is very clear, the interim chair of the Democrat National Committee said.
	She said, if I had to do it all over again, I would know a hell of a lot more about cybersecurity.
	It's pretty crazy.
	I mean, these people are just so brazen, and they have no regard for fairness.
	They have no regard for the American people and our election system, and all they want to do is just lie and undermine our votes while they accuse Republicans of election interference.
	It's just absolutely mind-blowing.
	So put your questions in the chat.
	Take a few more questions before we sign off for the night, but before that, I want to thank the third sponsor of tonight's episode of Lumer Unleashed and you know, I have an important message for about President Trump for all of the parents out there.

	If you ever have a tip that you want to send me that you'd like me to look into.
	But it's very important.
	We have seven weeks left, you guys.
	Seven weeks left, and we have to do everything that we can in order to get President Donald Trump elected.
	And so, I'll be speaking about that in California, again, September 28th.
	And then I also have some speaking events that I'll be announcing in the next couple weeks.
	In Florida, on October 18th and October 19th, I'll be speaking to patriots around the state of Florida.
	And we need to do everything we can.
	Early voting is starting in Pennsylvania.
	Everything is going to go downhill if Donald Trump does not get into the White House.
	And so I cannot emphasize that enough.
	We're not going to have a country, you guys.
	I hope that you're feeling the same levels of anxiety and same levels of stress that I'm feeling on a daily basis as we get closer to this election, because you need to internalize it.
	You really need to understand what's at risk here, what's at stake in our country.
	We're going to lose our country if Donald Trump doesn't get back in.
	And that's why, no matter what the media says about me, look, I learned a long time ago that I do not like people.
	I learned this when I was running for Congress and I was getting attacked nonstop.
	You know, people are very dishonest, and I can withstand the attacks.
	They don't get me down.
	They don't bother me.
	I don't let this stuff bother me.
	What I find to be irritating is the lack of courage.
	What bothers me more than getting attacked and getting smeared by the mainstream media is the cowardice that we have in our own party.
	People, you know, willing to throw somebody under the bus for a comment about Curry, willing to throw Donald Trump under the bus because of the lies that the mainstream media has told about him, and when Kamala Harris you know, incites violence against Donald Trump.
	And when the Democrats go out there and they mobilize people to carry out acts of violence against Donald Trump and his supporters, you have to wonder, what is our country going to look like if Donald Trump is killed?
	What is our country gonna look like if the Democrats get in?
	Are Republicans going to fight back Are they going to try to take their country back?
	Or are they just going to sit back and allow their country to become a communist country?
	I'm not talking about fighting back with violence.
	I'm talking about now.
	Are Republicans going to mobilize themselves?
	Are they going to knock on doors?
	Are they going to get out there?
	Are they going to fight back against this misinformation and the incitement of violence before it's too late?
	Because we're not going to have another chance to take our country back if these communists are successful in their takeover of our country.
	So it's disheartening to me to see people like Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Taylor Greene and others condemn me and lie about me and smear me because it just shows such a sign of weakness.
	And that's what I talked about in my monologue.
	If you're tuning in late, you can go back and you can watch my monologue from earlier tonight.
	It's weakness.
	It's weakness.
	And we're not just going to lose the party, which maybe wouldn't be such a bad thing if, uh, if we lost the party, but we're going to lose the country.
	Okay.
	The party, in my opinion, needs to be remade into the image of America first and the image of Donald Trump.
	But it's our last shot.
	And I just, uh, this close out seven weeks out when I see so many Republicans willing to condemn their own or, you know, to throw a fellow right winger or a fellow Trump supporter under the bus to score points with Kamala Harris and the radical left.
	Disheartening for what lies ahead.
	It shows you that so many of these so-called Republican lawmakers are willing to sell you out for the sake of getting clout with the fake news media.
	Let's see.
	Scroll up.
	Let's see.
	Let's keep up the good work.
	Yeah, I really appreciate you all.
	The debate was rigged and Trump still won.
	Kamala really sucks.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, we have a...
	Super chat.
	True or false?
	You cannot become a state representative in modern USA without corporate sponsorship.
	Well, you know, look, it seems that way, right?
	They're all completely bought out, and that's why the media is trying to destroy Donald Trump, and that's why so many global interests are trying to sabotage this man, because he's not bought and paid for.
	He's not bought and paid for.
	He's using his own time and money, and he's given up everything.
	This is a man who could just be relaxing, living a life of luxury with his family, so...
	It certainly makes it easier if you have backing from from the corporate media and the political elites.
	And I saw that firsthand when I ran for Congress.
	They certainly didn't like me.
	They did not like me.
	What do I think about Chris Cuomo's recent rant?
	We just played it a few moments ago.
	I think the guy's full of shit.
	I don't think he's genuine, and I think that he sees the writing on the wall because Donald Trump is going to win despite what the media is saying, and I think there's a lot of people that are two-faced and disingenuous who also see the writing on the wall, and they're just trying to get in now, and they're trying to... They're trying to... They're trying to save themselves because...
	As much as I love Donald Trump, and I love him, love him to death, I think he's great.
	The one thing that I wish was different about Donald Trump is I wish that he wasn't so forgiving.
	He's a great person, but a lot of times you have people that will lie about him and smear him and they just come back and they say one nice thing to him and he's willing to forgive them.
	And it's an incredible thing.
	I mean, look, I'm not able to master that type of forgiveness.
	I have a very hard time forgiving people.
	But, you know, Donald Trump is so gracious and he's such a good man that he's willing to forgive people sometimes who have said the most terrible things about him.
	And sometimes I think that it's a detriment because I don't really think that a lot of the people who apologize or say that they're sorry or come around to kiss his ass are genuine.
	So I worry at times that some people have nefarious intentions and that they're not really genuine, that they're just trying to get close to him for nefarious reasons.
	And so I worry that that there are people who are simply trying to use him or Get close because they're worried that they will be held accountable for their years of lies and smear campaigns and their incitements of violence.
	But that's just how Donald Trump is.
	He's a very genuine person.
	He's a very kind person.
	And he's willing to always give people the benefit of the doubt.
	You know it can it can be it can be a positive, but it can also be a negative at times Especially when you are somebody like Donald Trump who has people gunning for them literally it's hard to know who you can trust and so I just hope that Hope that there will be people around him that can help filter out the genuine people and the fake people Scroll down Yeah scroll down
	See more comments.
	Scroll down.
	Let's see, okay.
	Someone said you must not get much sleep, Laura.
	No, probably about three hours a night.
	I work a lot.
	I work a lot.
	It's exhausting work.
	It's a lot.
	What's so funny?
	My producer's laughing over here.
	It's true though, right?
	Right?
	It's true.
	Am I making it up?
	How many hours of sleep do I get a night?
	A lot.
	Not a lot.
	So, maybe three, four.
	I'm always up.
	You know, it's a lot on your mind.
	You always have to be working.
	Always have to be breaking a story.
	It's also a very competitive industry.
	You know, you can't really rise to the top or really stand out unless you're willing to go above and beyond.
	You gotta work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
	Right?
	Gotta work.
	Very hard.
	So I put all my time and energy into working because, yeah, it's very important.
	Some day, you know, we all we live.
	We have lives.
	Life is very short.
	People die someday.
	You know, you never know if you're going to die young.
	If you're going to have a long life to live, you never know what's going to happen in your life.
	And so you want to make sure that you have a life that's actually impactful.
	I mean, God, it'd be so awful to have a funeral someday and have people being like, Well, what did she do in her life?
	Or what didn't you know?
	So and so do in their life.
	You want to take advantage of every single moment that you have so that you actually leave a legacy.
	You want to leave a legacy.
	You want to be impactful.
	You want people to know that you're irreplaceable so that so that you have a purposeful life, and that's why people need to find causes that they care about.
	And that's why people need to find things that they are passionate about.
	Because well, what kind of legacy do you want to leave?
	Right?
	We're watching the destruction of our country right now, too.
	What kind of legacy do you want to leave?
	Do you want to know that you spent your time screwing around doing nothing, or do you want to know that you gave it your all?
	I'm praying that Donald Trump gets into office, but God forbid he doesn't.
	Do you want to be one of these people that says, well, I sat on the sidelines while the communists took over America, or I actually fought back and did something?
	You want to have a purpose in your life.
	That's what matters.
	People can say that work isn't a purpose, and they can say that there's purpose in other things, but I'm of the firm belief that your resume is your purpose.
	Your life, your work, your work is your purpose.
	I really do believe that.
	Some people will say that there's more to life than that, but I truly believe that at the end of the day, lots of people have kids, lots of people have people that they have in their life.
	They have husbands, they have wives, they have family members.
	Okay, yeah, like your family's gonna miss you, but everybody has their own family.
	Like, obviously your family will miss you someday, but like, What's your legacy?
	What are you actually going to be remembered for when you're, you know, on your deathbed in your 90s or, you know, your 80s or whatever it is, right?
	You never know.
	You could be diagnosed with cancer tomorrow.
	You could get hit by a car.
	Life is very unpredictable.
	And so you should spend a lot of time working, in my opinion, so that you can make a legacy for yourself.
	Scroll down.
	That's my personal view.
	A lot of people say that they disagree, but that's just my personal opinion.
	Laura, do you plan or want to run for political office in the future?
	No.
	Been there, done that.
	I don't really have a desire.
	I learned my lesson.
	It's just not worth your time.
	I mean, I could have run for office and I could have had Trump's endorsement this time around.
	He told me if I wanted to run again.
	But I said, you know, I want to just I want to just help you.
	I just want to do independent journalism.
	And I'm very happy doing what I do.
	And I thought I was going to end up working with him.
	And at the end of the day, I'm very content doing everything that I can as a independent journalist and activist.
	To support President Trump.
	I don't work for President Trump.
	I don't work for his campaign.
	But at the end of the day, it's not going to matter who's in office if Donald Trump is in an office.
	So I have no desire to run for office right now.
	I had a chance.
	I could have easily run.
	I could have easily won, too.
	But I just decided it's not really worth it this time around.
	Scroll down.
	Scroll down some more.
	Oh, lots of comments about Lindsey Graham.
	Yeah, he called me toxic the other day.
	It's so funny.
	So funny.
	Yeah, Lindsey Graham, the guy who condemned Donald Trump after January 6 and Called for January Sixers to be jailed and said they should be hunted down, right?
	That's a guy who's calling me toxic.
	Didn't he want, I'm pretty sure Lindsey Graham wanted Trump supporters to be hunted down by the FBI in the aftermath of January 6.
	Pretty sure that's what you call toxic.
	Scroll down.
	Somebody said, who could sleep after they tried killing our president?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, how do people even sleep?
	People will say, well, uh, it's not good to not get sleep.
	You need to sleep.
	How do people sleep?
	I don't understand.
	How do you even stay asleep?
	Even on nights when I could go to bed early, I, the reason I don't sleep is because, well, my mind is always racing.
	I mean, you wake up and you see all these headlines and my producer's over here laughing.
	It's so crazy what's going on in the world right now.
	Don't you agree?
	He still sleeps.
	It's crazy!
	I go to bed and I'm like so wired when I go to bed at night because I'm like, wow, if I do go to bed, right?
	If I do actually manage to get three to four hours of sleep.
	And I'm just so upset every time I go to bed or when I wake up because you wake up and there's another controversy.
	You wake up and there's another attack or there's something else that's happening and it's so terrible what's happening in our country right now.
	The world is on fire.
	And it's very disturbing watching the Democrats just sitting there smiling saying, yeah, everything's okay.
	And you know, Donald Trump's a threat to democracy.
	Everything's good with us.
	They really do live on another planet.
	So I don't know how people sleep.
	I really don't.
	I don't see how they could sleep.
	Scroll down.
	Someone said they're going to North Carolina to go knock on doors for DJT.
	That's great.
	That's great.
	Somebody said, why wear a watch?
	It's a Fitbit, actually.
	I don't know why that's a question.
	It's a Fitbit.
	I got 11,295 steps in today, so I'm always trying to make sure that I don't eat too much and I get my steps in, you know?
	God forbid I gain any weight, so... Got enough problems, you know?
	Got enough attacks in the media.
	I don't need them calling me fat either, so... Gotta wear my Fitbit every day, and I gotta make sure that I get my 10,000 steps in.
	Be sure you get your steps in.
	Scroll down.
	Let's see...
	Flash Hustler said, I pray that Laura gets a position in the new Trump administration.
	She deserves it more than anyone on the planet.
	Thank you.
	I really appreciate that.
	Someone said, would you take press secretary of offered?
	I would do anything.
	President Trump asked me to help him and he wanted me to support him in his campaign.
	I would gladly accept a position.
	We got to do everything we can to help Donald Trump and we got to support him and We have to make sure this man gets elected.
	We have to protect him even after the election.
	Let's just say he wins.
	I think that they're going to try to kill him even after the election, too.
	So we have to do everything we can to protect this man.
	And I'm just losing my mind over here because...
	We have this article up on my website.
	You can pull it up.
	The guy who has been assigned to oversee the investigation, the FBI agent, there was actually a congressional whistleblower report that was submitted about the head Miami FBI agent.
	I don't know if you guys have seen this.
	Probably not because, well, I haven't seen anybody talk about it aside from me.
	This guy, according to this whistleblower report, here you can scroll down, FBI agent leading investigation of Trump assassination attempt ordered by Chris Wray to delete anti-Trump posts before promotion at Miami FBI office.
	So according to a whistleblower report from the House Judiciary Committee, Jeffrey Veltri, he's the guy that's on the TV and he's giving the press conferences.
	Because the Miami office for the FBI oversees Mar-a-Lago.
	Mar-a-Lago is in the jurisdiction even though Mar-a-Lago is in Palm Beach.
	So according to this whistleblower that was this report that was sent to the House Judiciary Committee last year, this guy, Jeffrey Veltri, the chief FBI agent in Miami overseeing the Trump assassination investigation, He was ordered by FBI Director Chris Wray, who denied that Donald Trump was shot the first time.
	Remember when he testified to Congress and said he may not have been shot?
	He ordered this agent to delete his anti-Trump social media posts before they promoted him to the position in Miami.
	So the guy who's investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump hates Donald Trump.
	Where's Congress to demand that Christopher Wray testify and tell them what these posts have inside of them?
	What are these posts that we're hearing about in this whistleblower report?
	And can we actually trust the FBI to carry out this investigation when the guy, the FBI agent, Jeffrey Veltri, who is supposedly now the lead agent in charge of investigating Ryan Routh and the attempted assassination on Donald Trump, had anti-Trump posts?
	That's a fireable offense when you're an FBI agent.
	You are not allowed to.
	When you're a Secret Service, FBI, any law enforcement agent, you're not supposed to be making these partisan statements on your account, especially when you're in a position of protecting world leaders.
	So definitely go check that article out on my website.
	I just reported that yesterday.
	Loomered.com, Loomered.com.
	We'll take about two more questions and then sign off for the evening.
	What's happening?
	Someone said, why is MTG so in your face?
	Because, uh, she's a jealous woman and she's working against Donald Trump and I exposed her and she...
	Look, we have the documentation of this.
	She used her campaign funds to set Trump up.
	You can go look this up yourself.
	And she's the one who helped orchestrate the dinner between Kanye West and Nick Fuentes and Donald Trump.
	And her campaign funds were used to pay for the domain for Kanye West's campaign the same day, the same exact day as the dinner.
	She supported Kevin McCarthy.
	She's a liar.
	She's a fraud.
	I mean, what do people need to know about it?
	She's a jealous woman.
	She's crazy.
	She told people not to go to Fulton County Jail when Donald Trump was arrested and had his mugshot taken.
	And then she only showed up when she saw how many people I got out there when I organized the rally in support of Donald Trump.
	She's just a crazy woman.
	This is a woman who cheated on her husband.
	She got divorced.
	Okay, she's a liar.
	She's a fraud.
	She is engaged in what many would call insider trading.
	I mean, what else do we need to say about her?
	She's fake.
	She's so fake.
	She said she was going to advocate for the J6 prisoners and get the tapes released.
	We still don't have the J6 tapes.
	She's a liar.
	She's a very jealous woman.
	She's jealous that she did not get invited to the debate.
	She's jealous that I was invited and Matt Gates, her colleague, was invited, but she wasn't.
	You have to ask yourself, why wasn't she invited?
	There's a reason.
	and scroll down.
	Jealousy is very ugly.
	Another reason why I don't like hanging out with people.
	So, you know, people get very jealous of you.
	They get envious.
	And the closer, the smaller you keep your circle, the better.
	Because you don't want to have a lot of people in your life because people, they start to become envious of you.
	They want to be you.
	They're jealous of you.
	They...
	I learned this from a very young age.
	Somebody, I forget who told me, but I heard this somewhere and I don't remember where I heard it.
	But somebody once said you can never be friends with people who wish they were you.
	You just can't.
	You can't be friends with someone.
	You can't date somebody who wishes they were you.
	You can't be friends with somebody who wishes they were you because eventually they're gonna be envious of you and it's gonna just become a situation where they have so much animosity for you, and they're just gonna continue looking from the outside in, wishing they were you.
	So it doesn't matter if you're famous, or if you have any type of fame, or whether you're in politics and media, or maybe you're just a successful business person.
	Maybe you're prettier than your friend.
	I don't know.
	I mean, people are jealous for all types of reasons.
	You get the guy, you get the girl.
	You can't be friends with anybody that wishes they were you or they wish that they had what you have, okay?
	It's just never gonna work.
	And she's very jealous.
	Like, she clearly envies me for some reason.
	She did this when Donald Trump wanted to hire me.
	And as soon as you see anybody in your life that has any sign of jealousy towards you, you have to cut that person off.
	I mean, I've had to cut so many people out of my life just in the last year alone because people just couldn't handle my succession to fame.
	And I'm not trying to sound full of myself, but I clearly have exploded in my growth, and I'm not trying to be nasty towards people.
	But there's just been some people in my life who became so jealous and so envious that they started to do things behind my back.
	They started to lie to me.
	Some people stole from me.
	I just had to cut people off.
	I had to cut them out of my life and never speak to them again.
	Like literally block these people and never speak to them.
	People who I've known for like, you know, seven, eight years.
	I just... You can't be friends with people who wish they're you.
	You just can't.
	Can't do it.
	And Marjorie used to be friendly with me, but there's just like a burning rage, like of envy inside of her that she has towards me.
	And I'm not sure what it's over, but she's a very jealous person.
	Very jealous.
	Scroll down.
	Swirl down.
	Any more questions?
	Maybe scroll down.
	There's a lot more.
	Let's scroll down a lot more.
	All the way to the bottom.
	Somebody said you don't need toxic people in your life.
	Nobody does.
	Yeah, this is a very toxic industry.
	So when I say I had to cut people out of my life, like it's people in media and politics, right?
	Because that's really the world that I've lived in.
	And so when I say that I have had to cut people out of my life who I've known for years and years and years, These are all, like, professional people in media and politics who have just become incredibly jealous and incredibly spiteful and vindictive, and they've tried to destroy me.
	They've tried to lie about me.
	They've tried to smear me because, I don't know, it's a very competitive industry, and that's why you see so many people lying about me and smearing me, too.
	It's just a very toxic industry.
	I don't really recommend it to anybody.
	I do what I do because, you know, I have a duty to do what I do to support President Trump and save the country.
	But it's a very toxic, toxic field.
	All righty.
