Laura Loomer covers President Trump's Butler rally, where J.D. Vance honors victims of the July 13th assassination attempt while accusing Kamala Harris of inciting violence and mismanaging Hurricane Helene relief by sending billions abroad versus $750 to Americans. Trump pledges historic deportations, energy independence via ANWR drilling, and a 15% corporate tax rate, while Elon Musk urges voter registration amid claims of election fraud. The broadcast concludes with Loomer promoting her docuseries "The Great Replacement," framing the election as a critical battle against illegal immigration and potential national replacement. [Automatically generated summary]
Happy Saturday and welcome to episode 80 of Loomer Unleashed.
I'm your host, Laura Loomer.
Currently happening in Butler, Pennsylvania is President Trump's return to the location of where he was almost assassinated on July 13th when would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks Fired onto the Trump rally, killing firefighter Corey Comparatore and shooting President Trump in the ear, injuring several others.
Right now, J.D.
Vance is currently about to speak, and then at 5 o'clock the rally is supposed to start, so we're just going to be doing live coverage of this rally for you and talking about a lot of the issues that are happening in our country, but I want to cut away to J.D.
Vance, who is currently speaking, so we can see what the next Vice President of the United
unidentified
States has to say.
Now 84 days ago, of course, on this very field, an assassin tried to fill our hearts with
Walk Through Shadows00:04:29
unidentified
terror.
Oh But we're here to say we can't be intimidated.
We cannot be stopped.
We won't be denied.
we will make America great again and we're going to do it together.
Now, my friends, I know you'll join me in saying we're going to remember July 13th,
2024 forever.
Many of you were here, and it is a testament to your courage and your patriotism that you're here again today.
Now you heard the shots.
You saw the blood.
We all feared the worst.
But you knew everything would be okay when President Trump raised his fist high in the air and shouted, Fight!
fight now I believe it is sure as I'm standing here today
that what happened was a true miracle Thank you.
And on that day, America felt the truth of scripture.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
me. Walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil
for you are with me.
I truly believe that God saved President Trump's life that day.
you And I believe that God is with us right now and watches
over this incredible nation every single day.
Now, there are so many people here, so many people were honored to have.
It would be impossible to name all of them.
I see the great Sean Parnell over here.
Sean, you're a hero, man.
You were here on that day.
We're joined by many first responders, elected officials, and other distinguished guests.
And as we gather on these grounds once again, my friends, we especially thank God for the two great Americans who were wounded and survived in July.
That's David Dutch and James Copenhaver.
God bless you guys.
Now we pray for their full and complete recoveries.
And we're honored that David and his family were able to join us today.
Let's give a round of applause to David.
God bless you and God bless your family.
But our hearts are heavy with sadness knowing that there's one hero who's not
here with us today and that's of course the great Cory Koppertory.
Sdricakoper Tori!
Tori!
We're never going to forget Corey.
We're never going to forget his heroism that day.
And I want everyone to join me right now in sending our support, our respect, our love to the Comfortory family here with us today.
We love you guys.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you for loving this country and thank you for not giving up on it.
Now, after the heartache of that day, our nation hoped to turn a page.
Donald Trump's Response00:05:20
unidentified
page.
We hoped that our opponents would remember that before we are Democrats or before we are Republicans, we are Americans.
But sadly, our opponents have not heeded Abraham Lincoln's words and listened to the better angels of our nature.
Even after that terrible assassination attempt that took one man's life and nearly took many others, they continue to use dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric.
The media has continued to call Donald Trump, the guy who actually won his primary, a threat to democracy.
A Democrat senator called Donald Trump an existential threat to our democracy.
you you
Kamala Harris said that he was attacking, quote, the foundations of our democracy.
And I think you all will join me in saying to Kamala Harris, how dare you talk about threats to democracy?
Donald Trump took a bullet for democracy.
What the hell have you done?
The truth is that Kamala Harris and her allies, they attack Donald Trump in order to silence
us.
We, the people.
Thank you.
They have declared war explicitly on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Kamala Harris proudly says she wants to censor the internet, and Tim Walz said there is no guarantee to free speech.
What do we think about that?
But we all know, my friends, we all know that censorship is only the first step.
Just look at everything they've done to President Trump.
First, they tried to silence him.
When that didn't work, they tried to bankrupt him.
When that didn't work, they tried to jail him.
And with all the hatred they have spewed at President Trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody tried to kill him.
And that's exactly what happened, not just here in Butler, Pennsylvania, but just a few weeks later in Florida.
Three weeks ago, while these guys still go out there and attack him as a threat to democracy,
another gunman armed with an AK-47 style rifle tried to finish the job.
In fact...
Before the gunman in Florida tried to kill Donald Trump, he wrote, quote, democracy is on the ballot.
The exact same words that Kamala Harris wrote after accusing Trump of being a dictator, only days before the first attempt on his life.
But for all of those watching at home, and for all those who might be undecided in this crowd,
though there probably aren't that many undecided voters in this crowd.
Crowd chants, Trump! Trump! Trump!
I want to say, you know what's so incredible?
You know what's so incredible?
It's how Donald Trump responded to all of this.
Because despite being shot here in Butler, President Trump immediately called for national unity.
And I'll never forget, my friends, what he told me after the second assassination attempt.
He was probably the first person that he called that Sunday.
And I was sitting at home with my son in Cincinnati, and he said, JD, they tried to do it again.
I said, they tried to do what, sir?
He said, they tried to shoot me again.
And at first, I was in disbelief.
I did, I think, immediately, my thoughts went to him and how he was doing.
Of course, he was physically okay, because he was calling me, but I said, sir, are you doing okay?
And of course, President Trump in his President Trump way said, yeah, I'm doing fine.
You know, I'm a little pissed off because I was about to make a dirt birdie on the sixth hole and they wouldn't let
me finish But it made me think
It made me think about the leadership qualities we want in a President of the United States.
And so, I'd like to ask you, who would you rather have facing down?
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping?
Liberate United States00:08:13
unidentified
Someone, someone who is afraid of interviews with the friendly American media?
or someone who faces down two assassins and returns triumphantly to the very place that he got shot.
Now, some of you may have seen that I had a little debate with Governor Walz a few days ago.
And I have to admit, I may be the only person in Butler, Pennsylvania that feels that way, but I feel a little bad for Tim Walz, if I'm being honest with you.
Because Tim Walz has to defend the indefensible.
He has to act like Kamala is going to drive down inflation, bring up wages and bring back jobs, and restore peace, the very peace that she destroyed.
Well, I hate to break it to you, Tim, but everyone knows the truth.
Kamala caused every single one of those problems because Kamala's day one in the White House was 1,400 days ago.
Never let her lie to you and pretend that she's gonna do something great.
She's been in power for three and a half years and she hasn't done a damn thing.
And I, you know, I hate to say it, but Kamala's record of failure is somehow only getting
worse.
Yeah!
Just a couple of days ago, I visited an area of our country ravaged by Hurricane Helene.
The Appalachian region of Virginia, and we know the Appalachian region of this country, has been left behind and ignored by a generation of American leaders.
But what started out as a natural disaster is becoming a man-made disaster.
When Appalachia was underwater, remember, President Biden was sitting on a beach and Kamala Harris was at a San Francisco fundraiser.
That is not leadership.
That is a disgrace.
And now we're seeing reports that deployments of the military and the National Guard are
moving at a snail's pace.
.
My friends, who the hell is running this country right now?
Because it sure isn't Joe Biden.
It sure isn't Kamala Harris.
The Harris administration has given billions of dollars to foreign countries and illegal aliens.
But now they swoop in and they promise $750 to American citizens who have lost everything.
To everybody watching, to everybody at this rally, I want to say I promise you
when Donald J. Trump is back in the White House, we're going to have a president that puts America first.
Today it was announced that the Biden administration...
We're going to ensure that emergency funding goes to American citizens and not illegal aliens.
We're going to secure that southern border, stop the drug trafficking, and send illegal
aliens back home where they belong.
We're going to drive down the cost of housing, drive down the cost of gas, drive down the
cost of groceries, and we're going to clean up our streets to make America safe again.
And I'm out.
And whether we agree or disagree with you, we will always defend your God-given right to speak your mind without fear
of censorship, violence or persecution.
But to everybody struggling, I want you to know that though our country has, yes, been through some hard times over
these past few years, I want you to know that help is on the way.
Yeah!
We have, think about this, the most generous people, the most abundant natural resources, including some great energy right here in the state of Pennsylvania.
We've got the hardest workers.
We've got the best values.
All we need to restore American greatness is leadership that is fit to serve this country.
So more than anything, I'd like all of us to leave this incredible community with a message of hope.
Because I honestly believe that what happened right here in Butler is a metaphor for the United States of America.
In this land, we may get knocked down, but we get right back up and we keep fighting because in America, hope is never lost.
We may face enemies who seek our demise, our destruction, and even our death.
They may try to crush our spirits.
They may try to convince us that victory is impossible.
But in America, nothing is impossible.
And as long as that flag yet waves, and I see it's doing it today, there is no trial
we cannot endure, no obstacle we cannot overcome, and no defeat we cannot turn into victory.
On this field, at this exact spot nearly three months ago, we thought President Trump was
going to lose his life.
But God still has a plan for him, just like he still has a plan for the United States of America.
We, this movement, we have so much left to accomplish.
And after the dark nights of trial, when the sun rises again, our flag is still going to
be there and nothing will stop the United States of America.
So I want you all, I know he'll be out in just a little bit, but I want you all, when
Donald Trump comes out here, to give him a true Butler, Pennsylvania welcome.
Because with Donald Trump as our leader, we are going to take this country back.
We're going to make the American dream affordable again.
And it's going to start right here in the great state of Pennsylvania.
of these two assassination attempts and on President Trump's life, J.D. Vance.
Vance has really rose to this occasion, and he did a phenomenal job this week during the vice presidential debate.
Tim Walz made an absolute fool of himself, calling himself his own words.
He said he's a knucklehead, and he made some very bizarre remarks about being friends with school shooters and really just didn't seem to be able to keep up with J.D.' 's intellect and his wit.
And I think it's pretty clear who we need leading our country right now, and it is the Trump fans ticket.
Before we continue with our live coverage of President Trump's return to Butler, Pennsylvania, I want to take a moment to thank one of the sponsors of tonight's episode and our live coverage, and that is 1775 Coffee.

Let's cut back over to the live rally coverage because they always have speakers, of course, and President Trump should be arriving and speaking.
taking his plane actually just did a flyover.
They've cut the stream audio for President Trump's official feed.

We have Loomer Unleashed contributors.
There are several Loomer Unleashed contributors who are currently at Butler, and they've been front row.
They're in the front row, and they're getting the greatest shot.
So let's go ahead and show some of the clips from our Loomer Unleashed contributors who are on the ground in Butler, Pennsylvania.
There was a parachute, live parachute, with an American flag over the Butler rally.
Let's show that clip.
unidentified
I mean, that is just full blown Americana right there, folks.
you There's a lot of special guests who are going to be in attendance at today's rally.
Elon Musk.
Elon Musk, of course, just surpassed 200 million followers on X and he is, when I say radicalized, I'm not talking about.
He's not a radical person, but he is radicalized for Trump.
I mean, this guy is really putting it all on the line and supporting President Trump with all he has.
And I've known about the PAC that he's launched for a while because I personally know some people who are door-knocking for his PAC.
In some of the battleground states.
But of course, I just haven't talked about it.
But I do know some people who are door knocking with his America pack.
And he just posted about his America pack today and also updated his bio.
Let's go ahead and show that screenshot.
Elon Musk is expected to be in attendance at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
So that should be exciting.
Check out his feed.
Read America to understand why I'm supporting Trump for president.
So, of course, that's the americapac.org.
americapac.org.
And all of his posts now are pretty much just about how, you know, we need President Trump or else we're not going to have a country.
He's been doing a lot of great work to deliver Starlink to people in affected areas, so that's also great.
Scroll down.
The whole country, he said, the whole entire country will be like California politically, which is a one-party state.
Elon Musk, of course, talking about what's going on in California.
We're at a critical juncture for the country, for the people out there in the moderate camp.
I think you should support Donald Trump for president.
That's Elon Musk speaking about his support for Donald Trump.
So it's certainly very, uh, very interesting.
It's a big turnaround since 2020 when you have the most powerful people in Silicon Valley, the wealthiest tech owners, people like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey and Jeff Bezos over Amazon supporting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and of course, doing what they can to influence the election.
And the Democrats, I don't think we're Really counting on Elon Musk, who voted for Joe Biden by his own admission in 2020, to put $44 billion of his own money into purchasing Twitter, now known as X, and then supporting President Trump as aggressively as he is.
But it's great.
It's great to finally have some people in tech supporting President Trump.
And it's great to see the richest man in the world backing President Trump in his efforts to save America and make America great again.
Let's go back to the feed.
Let's see if we have no audio still.
We still have no audio from President Trump's feed.
Hopefully they get that issue resolved fast.
But we have some video clips that we could show you.
People lined up early this morning.
The Trump campaign put out a notice that had told people not to line up.
In the days prior to the butler rally and usually you have people that are camped out and you know tents and they're waiting for days on end to get into these very popular rallies.
So people had to go early this morning and we have some photos and we have some videos of the crowds.
Here's some of the photos.
Loomer Unleashed was in line early this morning.
You could see this was taken at about 6 15 this morning and so here we go.
People lined up with the trucks.
You could see all the all the flashlights and all the lights in the back.
Which, of course, are people in line.
Thousands and thousands of people.
Keep going.
That was, again, 6.15 this morning.
We have video clips.
Let's go ahead and play some of the video clips of some of the crowds lining up this morning as well
unidentified
I'm going to be playing a little bit of the video clip of the crowd lining up this morning as well.
There were also some very touching interviews that were carried out and conducted by Fox News this morning.
Of course, people from multiple media networks are there on the ground in Butler interviewing people.
And just listen to what some of these women who were there on July 13th at the Butler Pennsylvania rally where President Trump was shot had to say about why they decided to show up again to this rally.
It's a bakery in Pittsburgh that has, you know, Republican or Democrat cookies and that's their informal poll and right now Donald Trump is running away with it.
So I just got an update from the Loomer & Leach contributor on the ground in Butler.
They have told me that Elon Musk has arrived, so Elon Musk is officially there, and hopefully we see him soon.
I know he's going to be speaking.
I don't know if he's going to be introducing President Trump, but I do know that he has arrived, so we should be expecting to get some video footage of Elon Musk in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Trump feed that they have on President Trump's Rumble channel right now has no audio, so we're waiting for them to restore the audio feed so that we can hear what President Trump and all of his other campaign surrogates have to say.
But this is a big moment.
I mean, it's a moment to stand up against political violence.
It's a moment to stand up against all the division in our country.
But also, too, look, if President Trump wins Pennsylvania, I truly believe that he will win this election and It's looking like Trump is going to win Pennsylvania.
So these rallies, even by John Fetterman, of course, a senator, a Democrat senator from the state of Pennsylvania, has said himself that these rallies, especially in the aftermath of President Trump almost getting assassinated in Pennsylvania, has really fired people up.
And it has inspired people, even people who thought that they were never going to vote for President Trump.
And you see that In the aftermath of this attempted assassination, or assassination attempts, plural now, unfortunately, on his life, people see how resilient President Trump is.
Most people would have some form of, you know, post-traumatic stress disorder, and they would be too timid to come back, but let's go ahead, let's go ahead and play this clip.
Just to remind people of what happened on July 13th, and why we have come back to Butler, Pennsylvania.
Nearly three months later.
Here's a recap of what happened.
Graphic, of course, graphic footage.
Warn you, this is the footage of President Trump getting shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Political violence should never be acceptable and should never be tolerated.
But, of course, this is what happens when you have the Democrats saying things like Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
And we still have not received any accountability for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Kim Cheadle, who was the former Secret Service Director, had to resign, but she is still receiving a $55,000 per year pension plan.
So that doesn't really seem like accountability to me.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS Secretary, who of course is in charge of the Secret Service and allocating funds for Secret Service, has Constantly has continued to deny the Trump campaign the resources that they need.
And of course, this is the same guy who is in charge of our border.
And what we saw this week, really it all coincides, whether it's President Trump's life or the life of American citizens.
Alejandro Mayorkas does not care.
Whether it's American citizens who are drowning right now because they cannot receive aid because FEMA gave all of our aid to illegal aliens, or whether it's Donald Trump and his campaign being subjected to assassins because Alejandro Mayorkas will not give them the protection that they need, well, it's out of control.
Personally, I think that Alejandro Mayorkas should be charged as an accessory to murder and attempted murder.
The attempted murder of President Donald Trump and the murder of Cory Comparatore.
Let's see.
We have clips of snipers now on the roof at the rally.
So what?
What did Kim Cheadle say?
She said that they can't put snipers.
They can't put Secret Service on a sloped roof.
Remember?
Do you remember when they said we can't put people on a sloped roof because it's too dangerous?
Well, I guess it's not dangerous anymore because now they have snipers on a sloped roof there in Butler today.
Some other things that you can expect to see.
In Butler is they have a wreath with Corey's name in his uniform.
Corey comparatory where he was shot and killed at the rally, and so that's a nice.
Tribute to him and his family.
I don't know if his family speaking, but they will certainly be honored.
Here's the photograph of Corey comparatory seat being reserved
with his uniform draped in flowers, of course, in memory of
This is where he was shot and killed at the rally.
Let's go ahead and play the photo.
Terribly sad, and as we saw the day after the attempted assassination, President Trump didn't back down.
He still flew to the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and it was on stage when he accepted the nomination for president as the Republican Party nominee for president, where he kissed the uniform of Cory Comparatory.
So, very touching moments here.
If you're watching this right now on X, please be sure to share the live link.
I see that on Donald Trump's Twitter account, he also has the live link, so be sure that you share the live link right now.
Retweet it.
You can watch President Trump's speech here on Loomer Unleashed, and also be sure that you download the Rumble app.
Rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
Rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
Let's zoom into that photo again, just so that you can see.
Here we go.
Those are the bleachers in the rally and you can see people there with quarry comparatories uniform.
Terribly, terribly sad.
I mean, can you imagine his daughters there with him and his wife and his family members never being able to see him?
And it was quite horrific the way that he was killed.
I mean, the bullet went through his head.
It was terrible for all those people to have to see that.
And it's really brave for people to return to the site of the shooting because a lot of people have survivor's guilt.
A lot of people develop PTSD from these types of events that take place.
But President Trump has really rallied people.
And if anything, President Trump of all has Taught the American people how to have resolve, how to have strength, and how to carry your head high in the face of nonstop attacks and political persecution.
And that's one of the reasons why I admire President Trump and why, well, really, I consider President Trump to be my hero because nobody else is fighting for America as hard as President Donald Trump.
And he really is the bravest person I think I've ever seen in my life.
Here's a clip of Mayor Longo, the mayor in Butler, speaking at the rally today.
As you know, I interviewed Mayor Longo when I was at the RNC convention, and he told me
his story about how he was there with his wife, who's pregnant, and he covered her body
and then immediately sprung into action.
He tried to save Corey's life, but unfortunately it was too late.
So let's go ahead and play this clip from Mayor Longo, and you can watch the full interview
if you missed my interview with him on my Rumble channel, rumble.com slash laura loomer.
Let's go ahead and play the clip.

We're gathered on this solemn occasion to reflect on the events of July 13th,
a day that shook our community and claimed the life of a beloved member of it, Corrie Comparatore.
Corrie!
Corrie!
Glory! Glory! Glory!
Thank you.
We also give thanks for the lives of David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who narrowly escaped that day.
Their recovery is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope persists.
Now, Corey was more than a headline.
He was a father.
He was a husband.
A veteran, a volunteer who served others selflessly.
And as chief of the Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department, Cory exemplified the spirit of courage and community.
On that faithful day, July 13th, he shielded his loved ones, showing the world the strength of his character.
Cory's actions were a testament to what Butler Countians are made of.
Courage, sacrifice, and unwavering love.
We mourn with Corey's family and stand with David and James as they heal.
And to both, we say, your strength inspires us.
Our prayers are with you.
Together, we will walk this path to recovery.
But even as we grieve, we're reminded that healing is possible.
Our community is stronger than fear and violence of that day.
Butler County is more than a moment of horror.
It's a place of beauty, resilience, and faith.
Here, neighbors help one another, and families find solace together.
We honor our shared values of freedom, faith, and love for our country here today.
In this spirit of healing, we're glad to welcome President Trump back to Butler.
I interviewed Mayor Longo at the RNC, and I think that was a very powerful interview, and I want you to listen to what he had to say, because of course he was there.
He tried to rescue Corey Comparatore, but unfortunately it was too late.
He had passed away.
And so while we're waiting for President Trump to take the stage in Butler, I want to go ahead and play this interview.
Hey everybody, Laura Loomer here.
I'm currently reporting from the RNC convention, and with me today is Mayor John David Longo, who is the mayor of Slippery Rock in Butler County, Pennsylvania, which is the location of the Trump rally in Pennsylvania where an assassin opened fire, tragically killing Fire Chief Cory Camperate, injuring two others, and almost murdering President Donald Trump.
Yeah, so I wanted to interview you and kind of have you walk us through the events at the rally that day because it turned out to be a really exciting moment for you and your wife.
You told me that you and your wife got to meet with President Trump and you had a really nice conversation with him and you actually opened up the programming for the rally.
We were shaking hands and hugging and kissing everyone.
You know, there's a ton of camaraderie and fun in a Trump rally.
It's almost like a rock concert.
So we were enjoying that on our way.
I headed backstage to get ready for the pre-program.
Came out.
I was honored to give a speech and then lead the rally in the Pledge of Allegiance.
And it was just a fantastic moment.
Listened to, of course, the other speakers.
Everybody was pumped up and ready for the president.
Shortly thereafter, they took my wife and I backstage in order to get ready to meet and have a conversation with President Trump.
And we did just that.
The President was gracious and he was kind.
He even went so far as to say that he had listened to my speech in the air on the way.
And I actually confirmed that that was true whenever I saw a picture of everybody watching it on Trump Force One.
I realized he really had watched it.
He confirmed it a second time whenever he came out on stage.
And once again, he said, good job.
So, again, you know, I was feeling elated.
Everybody was having a great time.
What ends up happening, of course, as you all know, is that this lunatic decides to do violence against President Trump and the rally goers.
And being a speaker, I was seated with my wife and my family members, along with the other speakers, just to the right of President Trump, nearest the stage.
If you were President Trump, you would have looked at your three o'clock and have seen me, Sean Parnell, and his wife, my wife, Dave McCormick, Congressman Muser, and Congressman Mike Kelly.
We're all standing there supporting the President.
Uh, see people talking about a man with a gun or hear whispers of this because video footage that has been released shows that at least two minutes before, uh, the shots were fired, people were running frantically leaving the rally and screaming, there's a man with a rifle, there's a man with a rifle, which means that law enforcement had over two minutes to neutralize this guy.
I spent most of my time that day backstage getting ready for the pre-program and then of course for the meet and greet right before.
So I was toward the end of the line to meet President Trump.
So I was only in my seat for maybe 10 minutes, 15 minutes before he came out to greet the crowd.
So I didn't have a lot of time to observe anything around me and nor was I in a position to hear what was going on in the back rows.
of the rally.
So now all of this is coming out and I understand of course that this is the case and I just can't understand of course how that could have possibly been the case.
How is it that we could let this happen and I wish I had an answer.
It seems to me that it's obvious that there was a gross negligence here and I don't know that that even covers it, right?
But it's just such an unfortunate a thing because somebody lost their life.
You know, Corey lost his life because of, you have a ton of individuals who were injured.
So, you know, at first I didn't see the shot, I didn't see him get shot.
It wasn't until I raised up from my position, shielding my wife, that I saw that Cory had been shot.
And it was just an awful thing, of course.
And my heart, I have to say, my heart goes out to that family.
I'm so sorry that he came with his family and friends looking to hear a message of inspiration and hope from President Trump and lost his life because of it.
No, no and you know it would be an honor to speak with them but right now I think it's important that we all try to give them as much privacy as possible and allow them to grieve in what surely is most likely the hardest time in their lives.
And a lot of people don't know this but we were talking earlier and you actually tried to save Corey's life and then you realized that it was too late.
I know that the family just announced that there's going to be a public reception where people can pay their respects, and then I know that there's a private funeral on Friday.
Like I said, I want to give the family as much space as possible to grieve, but if they were to listen to this interview, I would hope that they understand that my prayers and the prayers of all of the Ciproa community next door to them are with them, and our thoughts are with Corey right now.
And we saw reports yesterday, we saw a Facebook post from Helen, Cory's widow, that President Trump called her to express condolences and said that he's going to be calling her in the days and weeks ahead.
Again, you know, I just want to make sure that I give them as much space to grieve as possible and make sure that the friends and family who are closest to Cory have the opportunity to spend time with their families so that they can comfort one another.
And then lastly, we've seen that the Director of Secret Service, Kim Cheadle, is blaming local law enforcement instead of taking responsibility for this tragedy.
And of course we know that federal barriers and perimeters are the responsibility of the United States Secret Service when They're doing a presidential detail.
I saw yesterday that the attorney, the district attorney I believe it was, in Butler County said that she needs to stop blaming local law enforcement and take responsibility because it's the responsibility of Secret Service.
Yeah, you know, ultimately I would agree that local law enforcement always defers to individuals in the Secret Service, CIA, FBI, etc., especially with an event of that magnitude, right, that size with President Donald J. Trump.
So, I certainly don't appreciate local law enforcement being, or bearing the brunt, rather, of the blame.
I do think that individuals in this current administration right now really need to take a look at how it is that they played a part in this failure.
Yeah, so I do know that they're holding a candlelight vigil for Corey and so I would urge anybody who's in the area to please go and Google that to see information about how they can attend and that and I think that's a great part of the healing process.
Of course folks are going to come together to celebrate his life but You know, in the coming days and weeks, I think it's important to remember, and I hope that folks remember, that Butler County, although we're talking about it right now for this awful thing, has so much good going for it, and there was a lot of good that was shown that day.
I mean, I saw so many people stepping up to help one another, folks who were injured, folks who were passing out from heatstroke and from the, you know, the horror and the excitement of the moment, and so I think that it's important in order to To heal that we focus on on those good things and to celebrate Cory's life and to continue to pray That's what I would say.
Just continue to pray.
It's been a comfort to me to draw nearer to God in this moment When it's almost impossible to be consoled for something like this then who better than the Almighty to do that?
And then lastly, I know it might be an inflammatory question, but given the information that's now coming out with counter snipers being inside the building while the shooter was on the roof, them identifying the shooter 30 minutes prior, which is prior to President Trump taking the stage, do you think that there needs to be an investigation as to whether or not this was an inside job, especially given the fact that the United States government has a history of assassinating U.S.
I mean, again, it was a gross negligence, so certainly I hope that all of the right people are asking the right questions and making sure that they're getting down to the bottom of understanding just how it is that we could have allowed for this to happen.
Well we're very thankful that you and your wife are safe and we thank you for your heroic actions and thinking of others in a time of tragedy and extreme danger.
So hopefully that interview provided a little background context for you and of course things have changed.
I'm sure now that ever since that assassination attempt he probably has spoken with the family more.
But what hasn't changed is we still have not received any answers and there still has not been any accountability.
We were told that the Secret Service protection for President Trump was going to be increased and that he was going to have substantially higher and stricter and more severe security measures and that there was going to be more protection around him.
But what did we see three weeks ago?
We saw that somebody, a guy by the name of Ryan Routh, who was a Kamala Harris and Joe Biden supporter, who literally had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on the back of his truck, Showed up to the Trump International Golf Club with an AK-47 and tried to shoot President Trump.
So, Ryan Routh has of course been charged with trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
He's also been charged on possession of a firearm as a felon, possession of a firearm with a obliterated serial number.
So, Prosecutors request indefinite delay in trial for Trump assassination attempt suspect.
So they also said that he is not guilty and Ryan Routh is pleading not guilty.
I mean, the guy literally wrote a letter asking people to carry out the job if he failed to do it and the DOJ published it.
The FBI published the letter.
In which they were offering a $150,000 bounty to whoever could finish the job of killing Donald Trump.
Ryan Routh wrote a book in which he said that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy.
Gee, where have we heard that?
Oh, I don't know.
We've only heard it from all of these Democrats like Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett and Bob Casey and Sherrod Brown and all these leftists who have said that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
In fact, we have some of those videos.
We might as well just go out and play some of them.
If you've been following Loomer Unleashed for the last several months, then you have seen that we have aggressively been confronting and keeping tabs on members of Congress and members of the United States Senate.
who incite violence against Donald Trump. And we have asked them all whether or not they would
like to apologize for their incitements of violence. And of course, they say no.
Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett. And it's important because a lot of these people that we've confronted
on video and battleground states, senators, of course, they are trying to keep the Senate.
We need to take back the Senate.
We cannot allow for our country to have a Democrat-controlled Senate.
Perhaps the Democrats will take the House.
If Donald Trump is in the White House, we need to have Republicans controlling the House and controlling the Senate so that Donald Trump can actually be effective throughout his second administration.
Oh, we have somebody on screen right now.
Let's cut back.
Somebody is speaking at the Trump rally.
unidentified
When he is elected president, he will deliver the greatest economic boom to America that we've ever seen.
We'll see growth in our energy sector.
We become a manufacturing powerhouse.
We'll see growth in real wages, which will benefit all Americans.
It's great to see so many people here.
Thank you.
God bless.
Applause.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage American investor and founder of the Witkoff Group, Mr. Steve Witkoff.
We may need to just change feeds because the audio on this feed is awful.
I don't know what's... Oh, here we go.
Whoever's doing the audio for President Trump's channel's got to get it together.

Blessings to the Dutch and Copenhaver family and also to the Cori Compitore family.
My heart is with you.
A Leader Who Embodies Strength00:09:55
unidentified
This is a beautiful, beautiful town.
I was marveling at the beauty.
Patriots of Butler, Pennsylvania, it is my honor and my blessing to stand before you today.
I'm not just here as a speaker, but I am a dear friend of the President and someone who has had the privilege of knowing President Trump personally, witnessing his strength and commitment to our nation.
You know President Trump as a man who never backs down.
I've been at his side through some of the toughest moments, and I can tell you, he embodies
the leadership we need in these times for our nation.
I was 10 feet away from him during the second assassination attempt.
I'm...
Amidst the chaos, President Trump stood tall.
He didn't flinch or complain, not one bit.
He chose strength, not for himself, but for us, for me that day, his friends, his staff, and for every American who believes in this country.
That's who Donald Trump, my dear friend, is.
He's a fighter, the toughest fighter I know, who refuses to be broken or beaten.
He faces adversity head on and says, bring it on.
At the Republican National Convention where I spoke, I shared a side of the president
many do not have the luxury of seeing.
His empathy, While the media paints him as tough, they don't show how deeply he cares.
He feels the burden of every challenge this country faces and understands the struggles of everyday Americans.
I'll never forget when he reached out to me after I lost my son Andrew.
He wasn't just the president.
He was a friend, offering comfort and ensuring we weren't alone.
That's the kind of leader he is.
The kind we need more than now, than ever.
The kind who came here today, even though he lost his own life on this very stage, but he was not going to be deterred.
Today we stand at a pivotal moment.
In the wake of the Iranian attack, our nation stands at a crossroads.
The world watches to see who will step up to lead us.
We need a leader who understands the gravity of this moment, who embodies strength in action, not just in words.
President Donald Trump is that leader.
My friend has stood up to tyrants and bullies, making tough decisions,
and always putting this country first.
Even when it wasn't an easy choice.
That's why we need him more now than ever.
This isn't about politics.
It is about the soul of our country.
It is about choosing strength over weakness, vision over indecision, and leadership over chaos.
Bye.
We are living in a time that demands greatness.
As Abraham Lincoln once said, you cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
President Trump understands that.
He is the most consequential president in the history of this country.
He knows that leading this nation is about taking responsibility.
For our future, ensuring our children and grandchildren inherit a country that is safe, prosperous, and free.
Behind the headlines and the political battles is a man who wants to see America thrive.
He believes in every fiber of his being that this country is still the greatest nation on earth and that her best days are yet to come.
So as we face this pivotal moment in history, ask yourselves,
who do you want leading this country when the enemies of freedom threaten our way of life?
Crowd chants, Joe! Joe! Joe!
Do you want someone who bows to pressure because this man doesn't?
Or someone who stands up, fights back, and says, no matter what you throw at me, I will not break.
I will not waver.
I will not back down.
That is Donald J. Trump.
He has the courage to face today's challenges and the vision to build a brighter tomorrow.
The pathway to peace, prosperity, and strength isn't found in weakness or hesitation.
It's found in unwavering resolve.
It's found in a leader who refuses to let America be pushed around or let our enemies dictate our future.
So, Butler, Pennsylvania, this beautiful town, I ask you to stand with me, stand with President Trump, and stand for the future of this incredible country.
Together... Together, we will overcome every obstacle and make sure America's best days are still ahead.
The first thing that President Donald Trump did upon landing in Butler, Pennsylvania, was embrace the family members of Corey Comparatory, his wife and his two daughters.
So let's go ahead and play that footage, which has now been uploaded to President Trump's TikTok account, and I can I only expect that we're going to be seeing Elon Musk and President Trump and others soon.
There's a photograph, too, of Elon Musk and President Trump and J.D.
Vance behind the stage.
Oh, here we have Eric Trump and Lara Trump.
Let's go ahead and play the clip though in the meantime.
You can see President Trump with family members of Corey Comparatore.
That's his wife and two daughters embracing them.
They're smiling, happy to see President Trump.
So, you know, of course, I'm sure that that was a very, it's a very hard thing for them to be dealing with, but they're happy to see President Trump three months later.
And I know that President Trump has raised millions of dollars for the family members of those affected.
Let's cut to Eric Trump and Laura Trump speaking now at the rally in Butler.
unidentified
Pennsylvania, I've never been more proud to be a member of the American people.
One month from right now, as Donald Trump always says, will be the most important day in the history of America.
Because this is a pivotal moment for our country.
And I don't even have to tell anybody that here.
We can all feel it.
This is no longer a fight between Republican versus Democrat, left versus right.
It is good versus evil.
And good is going to win this battle, ladies and gentlemen.
And if you had any question whether God exists and he performs miracles, we got our answer here on July 13th, right here in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He spared Donald Trump's life.
Because he was not finished with Donald Trump.
And he did it not once, but twice.
And I've said it time and time again, but now you feel it more than ever.
Donald Trump was made for such a time as this.
It's such an honor to be back here in Butler.
And you know, I knew before Donald Trump even said he wanted to come back here, that he would come back to Butler, Pennsylvania.
Because in life, you can operate with fear and cowardice, or you can operate with strength and faith.
And that's what Donald Trump operates with, strength and faith.
And that's the kind of leader we need to see back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
We need strength in this country.
I've been doing a little something with making sure that we have free, fair, and transparent elections and that only legal citizens are voting in our elections here in the United States of America.
That's okay.
It's been the number one focus of the RNC since I took over alongside our chairman, Michael Watley, back in March.
We have had a big goal of recruiting 100,000 people to volunteer as poll watchers, poll workers, legal experts on the ground.
I'm happy to report that we have trained 200,000 people across this country to do that.
So our message is very clear.
If you are a person who is considering cheating in our elections, we will find you, we will track you down, and we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.
And if you're an illegal citizen voting in our election, we'll track you down and prosecute you to the full extent of the law, and you're leaving this country.
How's that sound?
Don't do it.
It's not worth it.
But real quick, before I go, is everybody in this crowd registered to vote?
Well, it could be that you've heard of someone who's been doing so much voter registration right here in Pennsylvania.
His name is Scott Pressler.
And he has done an incredible job.
We have flipped Bucks County and Luzerne County from Democrat to Republican in terms of voter registration.
And I would like to invite my friend Scott Pressler to come up and say a few words to you folks, if you would welcome
him please to the stage right now.
And he wore shorts for us today, so check out his legs.
Mom and Dad, I honor you on the stage today, Captain Robert Pressler and my mom, Carol Pressler.
Pennsylvania, you have the power to change the world.
Pennsylvania wins the White House, and so please, I ask you today, please check your voter status, make sure you're an active voter registered at your current address, and please visit vote.pa.gov and register to vote today.
A message To our union workers, we want your vote.
We want to keep jobs here in America.
To our beautiful Amish and Lancaster and across the state, we will protect your raw milk, your dairy, your farming, your school choice, your religious freedom, your ability to afford to have ten beautiful children per family.
To our hunters, 30% of you are not registered to vote.
Please, our hunters, support the Second Amendment.
Register to vote.
To our truckers that service us every single day, please request a mail-in ballot or vote early.
Lock in those votes.
To our sorority sisters and our fraternity brothers, please, you have the power.
If you're going to school here in Pennsylvania, register to vote legally and lawfully here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
I feel this from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.
I love our great country.
President Trump took a bullet for us.
Please use your ballot and have his back on Tuesday, November 5th and deliver Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump!
I think that it's, you know, you see a lot of, well, President Trump's children, they all have very nice things to say about him, but Eric Trump, of course, always just really touches my heart when you hear him.
Talking about the love he has for his father and how he's the best father that you could ever ask for.
And it was nice to see Scott Pressler get the recognition that he deserves, and he's been doing some great work registering voters in Pennsylvania.
So congratulations to Scott, because a lot of people have always said, you know, hey, where's Scott?
Scott seems to be the one out here registering people in Pennsylvania.
Is anybody going to work with Scott?
So I know that Scott's been waiting for that recognition for a long time, and it was nice to finally see him get that recognition that he deserves.
It is now 5.47.
The rally was scheduled to start at 5 p.m., and I know that President Trump is there because we'll, uh, let's cut to some of these photographs.
There's photographs of President Trump right now behind the stage with Elon Musk and J.D.
Vance, so hopefully we will be seeing them come out soon.
Oh, no word on yet whether Elon is going to be speaking.
There were some rumors that he'd be speaking.
I know he said that he was attending, but we will see.
Oh, someone's going to be speaking.
I guess, uh, well, that's, uh, that's Gabe.
That's the guy who does the teleprompter for President Trump.
So, I'm at Gabe.
That is Gabe, who is securing President Trump's teleprompter right now.
So maybe President Trump is coming out any moment now.
So we, of course, are monitoring this.
And as soon as President Trump is introduced and comes out on stage, we will be sure to cut back to the feed.
But here is a photograph of President Trump behind stage with Elon Musk.
And it looks like he wore his black MAGA hat.
He wore his black MAGA hat to the rally.
So great photograph of President Trump and Elon Musk.
Great photograph.
Oh, there's the flag, of course.
That hung over Butler, and you've seen the images in the aftermath of the shooting that took place on July 13th.
The flag was actually twisted and contorted, and it looked like an angel over the stage.
So there were some images of that.
Perhaps we can find that later.
We are waiting, of course.
Any moment now, President Trump is going to be taking the stage at this historic rally.
Here's the flag, by the way, if you hadn't seen the flag.
This is what the flag looked like when it was twisted over President Trump when the shooting took place.
So I don't know about you, but it looks like an angel.
I mean, I think it's pretty remarkable that that's what the flag got twisted into.
It looks like an angel over President Trump.
While President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Let's go to the chat right now.
We'll take a couple questions.
Let's see if any of you have questions.
Looks like an angel.
Great show.
We are live right now, so please be sure that you share the live link.
We're live on X and also live on Rumble.
Go to rumble.com slash lauralumar, rumble.com slash lauralumar, and you can repost the live link.
We have over 70,000 people who are currently watching right now, so please be sure that you are reposting live.
It's going to be a really exciting rally.
I wish that their feed had better audio.
But President Trump is going to be coming out any moment now.
And of course, you can watch that speech here live on my Rumble channel.
But Pennsylvania, like everybody has said, Pennsylvania is really going to be the deciding state in this election.
And if President Trump wins Pennsylvania, he will win this election.
And so it's very important that people register to vote.
If you're watching, be sure that you register.
I believe the deadline to register is October 7th.
I know that's a deadline to register in places like Arizona as well.
Here's Elon Musk.
He said headed to Pennsylvania to speak at the Trump rally in Butler.
And as I just showed you, well, he is currently behind the stage with President Trump and a lot of people there, a lot of great people there to support President Trump and a lot of the members of Congress who are currently there right now.
They're going to be flying back to North Carolina.
My friend Cory Mills, who we interviewed in the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt too, is there.
He flew out from North Carolina where he's been doing search and rescue operations.
I'm going, Lumer Unleashed is actually going to be assisting with some of those efforts as well.
I'm pleased to announce that I've purchased a drone and the drone is actually going to be
utilized by some of the search and rescue teams and so we, I'll have more updates for you in the
coming days of course, but that drone is being overnighted as we speak.
Ordered it last night and so I'm looking forward to that drone being able to be utilized for the sake of rescuing people and when I was contacted by somebody who is going to be Participating in search and rescue efforts with Congressman Cory Mills, and they said that they needed a drone.
I, of course, was happy to purchase that drone for them because, well, we need to save people's lives.
So I'm going to be looking forward.
The drone has all types of interesting capabilities, I guess.
It's a very expensive drone, too.
It's a very expensive drone, high-tech drone.
Well, my producer said, oh, the drones have loudspeakers.
Well, there's a lot of technical capabilities on this drone.
And I'm just really glad that we're able to send a piece of equipment, very expensive piece of equipment, to individuals who are going to be carrying out intensive search and rescue operations.
And hopefully this drone comes in hand in trying to see if people are trapped or people are stuck from an aerial view.
you. Go to the chat, take a few more questions.
What do you think will happen with this category three hurricane coming to
Will the federal government have the funds to help those affected?
Yeah, well, if you haven't been alerted to this information, not only did we just come off of a massive hurricane that left people devastated, destroyed parts of Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and of course North Carolina and South Carolina, But let's go to my Twitter feed as well.
I posted earlier, there is now a flood warning for parts of Central Florida.
So if you live in Central Florida, well, looks like we're going to be hit with what is looking like a Category 3 storm.
You can keep on scrolling, scrolling all the way down, keep on scrolling.
Here we go.
Flood Watch right there.
New Flood Watch has been posted for these parts of Florida.
Central Florida be on high alert.
And it's going to be devastating.
People have already lost their lives.
And as we've seen in North Carolina, the death toll is being reported at 291.
But there are people saying that they've already gone through hundreds of body bags and thousands of people are missing.
Prank Letters to Politically Charged Donors00:03:40
I think it's going to be very tragic and we are going to see that a lot of people probably aren't even going to be found because they're buried under mudslides and they're buried underwater and just the stories that we're seeing are absolutely horrific.
And as Eric Trump talked about tonight, during his remarks at this rally, we're giving millions of dollars, billions of dollars, really, to all these countries, countries that hate us, like Iran and Pakistan.
And we just sent yesterday $157 million to Lebanon, the home of Hezbollah.
$157 million to Lebanon, okay, the home of Hezbollah.
Why are we sending $157 million to Lebanon when Americans are getting $750 each?
They're not even getting $750.
A lot of people are messaging me telling me that they applied and they've been denied.
So, really horrific.
Absolutely horrific.
People are chanting right now.
Let's cut to the feed.
Let's see what they're chanting and cheering at.
In the meantime, I wanted to take a moment to thank the second sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, LibFibs.
Sometimes we all just need a little laugh, especially at our friend's expense.
I found the most hilarious site, and with a month left in the selection season, you can try it out.
It's called LibFibs.com.

Here's how LibFibs work.
You pay $12, and then you pick a mailer, and you enter your friend's mailing info, and then you sit back to wait for the screams.
Each mailer includes a receipt for their recurring donation of $250 per month, and a most ironically authentic explanation of how the money will be put to use.
So check out some of these letters.
The Black Lives Matter letter congratulates the generous donor for their commitment to defund the police, reparations, and support the George Floyd Memorial Fund.
Could you imagine getting this in the mail?
The Planned Parenthood letter, they'll be thanked for their commitment to fund abortions and act pro-choice laws and educate school children about reproductive rights and gender transition.
Could you imagine getting something like this in the mail where it says, oh, you're on a recurring list and we've taken $250 out per month?
The Kamala for President letter, their monthly donation will support gun bans, gender transition funding, and of course, the Green New Deal, open borders, and strict DEI rules.
So, whether you send it to your friends, or your parents, or that MAGA uncle you have, get a front row seat to the hilarious reaction of a lifetime.

We all have that diehard political fan in our life that would absolutely lose their mind if they got one of these anonymous letters in the mail.
Saying, hey, thanks for your donation of Black Lives Matter and Planned Parenthood and all these other leftist things.
Here, President Trump, we're cutting now to the rally.
President Trump has arrived and he is taking the stage at Butler, Pennsylvania.
God, I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today
Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
It was the lowest border patrol, the lowest it's ever been.
Illegal immigration.
Today, it's out of control.
But I love it for other reasons, too.
You know that.
So thank you very much.
And thank Lee and what Lee has done with that song.
And it's such an honor to have it.
I want to Just to let you know that tonight I returned to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America.
Our movement to make America great again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined, and nearer to victory than ever before.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to win the election.
We're going to win the election.
And to all Americans, whether you are Republican, Democrat, independent, conservative, or liberal, or you have no label whatsoever, it makes no difference.
Our movement, it belongs to you.
It belongs to our country.
It belongs to our country.
And together, in just one month, we are going to usher in a new golden age of American security, prosperity, sovereignty, and freedom for our citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
Exactly 12 weeks ago this evening, on this very ground, a cold-blooded assassin aimed to silence me and to silence the greatest movement, MAGA, in the history of our country.
MAGA.
We love MAGA.
For 16 harrowing seconds during the gunfire, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper's perch not so far away.
But by the hand of providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal.
Did not come close.
He did not stop our movement.
He did not break out our spirit.
He did not shake our unyielding resolve to save America from evils of poverty, hatred, and destruction.
Yet we are here this evening in record numbers.
This is a big crowd.
This is a big one.
This is a big one.
Not only to mark the triumph of American spirit, but over — and you know that this is really, truly, in the truest sense, spirit over evil and adversity — but also to pay tribute to some of the best and bravest we have ever known.
This field is now a monument to the valor of our first responders, to the resilience of our fellow citizens, and to the sacrifice of a loving and devoted father.
All who have visited this hallowed place will remember what happened here, and they will know of the character and courage that so many incredible American patriots have showed and know.
And they know it at a level never seen before, probably.
First, I want to thank the men and women of the U.S.
Secret Service who threw their bodies on top of my Without even a thought for their own lives.
They were on top of me so fast.
They were on top of me, and there was not even a moment of doubt in their minds.
You watch those tapes.
Not even a moment of doubt.
I want to thank Secret Service.
They're great, great people.
They are great people.
And in that moment, those agents displayed a devotion to duty that cannot be described, and they did it yet again less than three weeks ago when they really did a fantastic job.
Another attempt.
It was another attempt.
We have an evil world.
We have a very sick world.
My gratitude to them is beyond measure.
We also owe a tremendous debt thanks to the Secret Service.
counter-sniper and a local police sniper, who returned fire within seconds and stopped the
shooter quickly and saved many lives.
If he didn't stop, he saved many lives.
He had a lot of bullets, a lot of ammunition up there with him.
And we are, I mean, just amazing when you think they did it so quickly, without any knowledge of what was
going on.
And had that not happened, it would have been a very different service.
It would have been many, many, potentially many, many people.
I also want to express our thanks to the Butler Township Police Department.
Incredible people.
The Butler Sheriff's deputies, Pennsylvania State Police, and all of the other law enforcement heroes, as well as the emergency personnel and doctors, the medical teams at Butler Memorial Hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, who rushed me and rushed some of these very badly wounded people.
They were wounded, a lot of...
A lot of badly wounded people.
In particular, two people.
Two people.
And I tell you, they were very brave and great people.
They were big Trump fans, and they still are.
That means something.
That was pretty amazing.
You know, when I got up, I asked whether or not anybody was killed.
I assumed that there would be a lot, because I heard the bullets winging right over my head.
They said, probably three.
The doctors did such an incredible job.
It was one.
One great gentleman.
The other two have been amazing, actually.
They've gone through it.
They've gone through a lot.
And when the crisis struck, they did, really, Pennsylvania proud.
You've heard that expression.
Pennsylvania proud.
It's a great place.
I went to school.
I went to college in Pennsylvania.
It's a great place.
The people are incredible.
Also, and I have to say, after returning to The field tonight is one of the really brave Americans who was hit by the assassin's bullet, U.S.
Marine veteran David Dutch.
David, thank you.
Thank you, David.
Thank you, David.
And, David, we're thrilled to see your recovery is going well.
Great doctors up here, I have to tell you.
Great doctors.
Your courage is really an inspiration to us all, so I want to thank you very much, David.
Great gentleman.
Great, great gentleman.
I want to send our love to someone who could not be here because he has just undergone a major surgery related to the shooting.
A man who is really badly wounded, like David, James Copenhaver.
Because James was a wonderful man, a big Trump fan.
And Mr. Copenhaver is out there watching us right now, but he's in a...
Hospital where they did some additional work, but he's in great shape.
He wanted to be here so badly, but he's in great shape and we appreciate it and we're looking to his full and complete recovery.
He will have a complete recovery.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
And of course, there's one more hero who could not make it back here tonight because He is no longer with us.
Right?
You know who that is, right?
Cory.
Our beautiful Cory.
Cory is not with us tonight, and he should be.
And we all miss him.
He's become somewhat of a folk hero, I have to tell you.
Who is with us is his beautiful wife and daughters and relatives.
This is a tribute like no other, and he deserves it.
To Helen and the entire family, I can only begin to imagine the depths of your grief, but I want you to know that just like you, we will carry his memory in our hearts for as long as we live.
Everybody in this stadium and everybody that was there on that tragic evening, we are We are thinking about Corey.
We think about him a lot.
I know he's looking down on us right now from heaven, smiling at his beloved wife and daughters and his mother, Karen, and his entire family, his entire family.
And he's with you, and he's going to be with us for a long time because, you know, Some people just don't die in vain, and what he's left behind is incredible.
And so, God bless you, Corey.
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
God bless you.
You know, I just want a little story.
Helen told me that on the day that they came to the rally, Corey was really excited because somebody gave him great seats right up front here with the With the people from North Carolina, the ladies from North Carolina, this is their 227th rally.
I don't know what's going on with them.
Those beautiful ladies.
But they always seem to have good seats.
But Corey had the best seat in the house, and he was telling his wife and family on the way over in the car, he said, I'm telling you, he's going to invite me up on the stage.
Because I do that sometimes.
I take people, we invite them up on the stage.
And she smiled, thinking it'll never happen.
And little did anyone realize that Corey would be on the stage three months later, In an almost immortal position.
And that's where he is today.
He's on the stage in a, I think, in not almost, I think it's a truly immortal position.
So the love that he showed on that day and throughout his life is the love that sustains the entire movement.
Love that our families have and love of our communities and love of our country.
It's a force more powerful than any Hatred and malice, because even in the darkest hours, it shines forth as a guide, and it guides us like nothing could ever guide us.
But from the very beginning of this journey, I've been on a mission to rescue our country from a failed and very corrupt political establishment.
Very corrupt.
We have to change it.
We have to change it.
We need also a very free and open press and to give it back to the country you believe in and I believe in.
It's a country that we were born in and the country that you deserve.
You have to.
You deserve this.
In that mission, I will never quit.
I will never bend.
I will never break.
I will never yield, not even in the face of death itself.
And I believe that every citizen deserves an America with a grand, very, very grand ambition, great opportunities and limitless We just want limitless potential.
We want an America where you can get ahead and be proud of life and provide for your family in a really decent way.
We don't have crime.
We have a fabulous military to protect us from evil.
We have — everything has to be the best.
We have to have the best schools.
We have to have strong borders.
We don't want bad people coming in and hurting us.
We don't want to have — we don't want to have open borders, do we?
You deserve a government that protects and respects its own citizens, that defends your sovereignty, your security, and your dignity, and your freedom.
You deserve a nation that builds things, again, makes things better, that aims for the stars once more, and that once again commands respect.
And we want to get respect like we had it four years ago.
The entire world respected us.
They respected us.
They respected us more than they've ever respected us, and now they laugh at us.
We can't have them laugh at us, can we?
Above all, you deserve leadership in Washington that does not answer to the lobbyists, to the bureaucrats, or to the corrupt special interests, but answers only to you, the hardworking citizens of America, of which there are a lot of them.
We have a lot of them.
We have a lot of them.
Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot, and who knows, maybe even tried to kill me.
But I've never stopped fighting for you, and I never will.
And all of this will be for nothing if you don't get out and vote.
It will all be for nothing.
We will have talked about it.
And if we do it, it'll be the greatest achievement, I think, in the history of politics for all of us for this age.
Because we're going to change our country around, and fast.
We're going to do things that Nobody thought it were possible.
We're going to do them fast.
So, Pennsylvania, it's time to stand up for America and a time to save our country.
This is really about saving our country.
It's never been like this.
When you look at the crime, look at the crime.
Look at the people that are coming in.
Murderers.
13,099 murderers led in over the last short period of time.
Murderers that have been Released from penitentiaries, prisons, jails, released into our country.
Crime rates all over the world are down.
They're taking their gang members and their criminals, they're taking their people in jail, and they're releasing them into our country.
We can't have it.
You know, we just can't have it.
How do you get more simple than that?
They're releasing murderers, they're releasing drug dealers, they're releasing gang members and criminals.
Human traffickers, mostly they traffic in women, and they're releasing them all into our country, and they're emptying their jails, and their crime rates in Venezuela are way down because, you know, but it's not only in South America, it's all over the world, in Africa, the Congo.
A lot of people coming out of the Congo in Africa.
They're coming out from Asia.
They're coming out from the Middle East, Yemen.
They're coming out from Yemen.
A lot of people coming out of Yemen.
And they're known terrorists, and they just release them into our country from countries unknown, also.
They know nothing about the people.
I'll go right in.
These people are crazy.
And we have to win.
We'll stop it immediately.
And we'll have to — look, it will be a big deportation.
We're going to deport these people.
We're going to get them out of our country immediately.
Or we won't have a country.
And if we win Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing.
The whole thing will be won.
So, for the sake of our families, for the sake of our children, we will keep on going.
And as the expression goes — I mean, I'm a little embarrassed to say it, to be honest with you, but I'm going to say it because a lot of people do say it — we will fight, fight, fight.
We're going to fight for our country.
We're going to fight for our country.
And together, we will save this country, we will restore the republic, and America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer and greater, and more united than ever before.
Our country will be united.
You'll watch.
You'll watch.
You know, we had the most successful country ever, maybe in the world, during my term.
We had the greatest economy that we've ever had.
And you know what was happening?
We were uniting.
The other side, radical left people were coming over.
If you look at population, our black population, our Hispanic population, our Asian population, everybody was doing better.
People that went to the best schools and best colleges in the world got the highest marks, and people that couldn't get a high school degree.
Everybody was doing better, and our country was coming together.
And then we got hit with COVID, a gift from China.
Some people would call it the China virus.
And we did a great job on that, too.
We did a great job.
But the world was disturbed.
$60 trillion in damage worldwide.
Millions and millions of — tens of millions of people killed.
And we still — during this four-year period, we had the greatest economy, one of the great countries of the world.
And we left with a stock market that was higher than it was just prior to COVID coming in.
So, what we did was something really incredible.
But we had the greatest, most successful country ever.
We had the greatest economy in our history.
And we're going to do it again, and maybe even better.
We learned a lot.
We learned a lot about people and about doing things, and what works and what doesn't work.
And we're going to do it, and it's going to be quick.
It's going to be quick.
And we're going to have safe cities, and we're going to have great cities again.
And we're going to have a capital in Washington, D.C., which is right now crime-ridden.
You leave from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you go drive down to Washington, D.C., and you drive down and you end up getting murdered, you end up getting hurt, you get mugged.
We are going to straighten out Washington, D.C.
We're going to make it, again, the most beautiful capital in the world.
We're not going to have graffiti.
We're not going to have graffiti on our marble columns.
We're not going to have roads that have potholes all over them and medians that are falling into the highways.
We're going to run it properly.
We're going to change it.
We're going to run it properly.
It's an embarrassment to us.
Can you imagine foreign leaders coming in and running over roads that haven't been paved in years?
We're honored to be joined tonight by one of the people who is going to help us build this incredible future.
And he is a truly incredible guy.
And I don't say that that often.
He's a great gentleman.
He's done such an unbelievable job for North Carolina, for Georgia, for Alabama, for Florida, for Tennessee.
His name is Elon Musk.
He saved free speech.
He created So many different great things.
Where is he?
Come on up here, Elad.
He created the first major American car company in generations, and his rocket company is the only reason we can now send American astronauts into space.
But when I was in North Carolina and Georgia just the other day, Yesterday, to be exact, but they were saying we have tremendous communications, especially in North Carolina, and we have tremendous problems.
We have no communication.
The poles were ripped down.
The wires were underwater.
Houses were destroyed.
Possibly 1,000 people, maybe more will be.
You know, there's 600 people missing.
Missing is not good, because you know what missing means, generally.
That's really bad.
And they had no communication.
They had literally no communication with — they called it the mainland, because the water was so crazy.
It was like they were in the middle of a lake, and they'd never seen anything like it.
And they said, Do you know somebody named Elon Musk?
I said, Yeah, I happen to know him a little bit.
He just endorsed me, actually.
Although he endorsed me a long time ago, but he's still — to me, every day is a good endorsement from Elon.
Nobody is smarter than Elon.
And they said, Could you do us a favor?
Could you help us?
We're trying to get Starlink.
And it's very hard to get.
Most people say you can't even get it.
I called up Elon.
I said, North Carolina is in big trouble.
Georgia is in big trouble.
They need communication.
They have none because their poles have been knocked down and their wires are underwater and even dangerous — dangerously underwater.
But they have no communication.
Elon, could you do something about Starlink, whatever the hell that is, Elon?
Whatever Starlink.
That's all they want to hear is Starlink.
And an amazing thing happened.
I got a call from one of the top people in North Carolina.
I got a call from another great person in Georgia.
And I wasn't finished with my phone call yet.
And they got word that Starlink would be delivered to the states.
I said, No, and I said, what the hell is he — what kind of a system is that?
Normally, you'd have to hang up, and he'd go and call people.
He did it during the phone call.
What kind of a system do you have?
That's why — he's a — he's a very advanced — he is a very advanced person.
But I want to thank you, Ilan, because I got it.
And I said, how does it work?
Two days later, how does it work?
They said, much better than the wires.
So now I'm saying, why the hell aren't they — You're going to come out very well anyway.
And, you know, he also said, you don't have to pay me.
Did you see what happened the other day with the teleprompter with her?
That was not a pretty sight.
The teleprompter went off and she went off too.
She didn't know what the hell happened.
And, you know, teleprompters are very dangerous because they go off a lot.
You have to be prepared for them to go off, go blank.
You'll have 100,000 people.
You'll have 75,000 people.
You have this.
And if the teleprompter goes off, you got to be able to move.
She did not move well.
This was not a good situation.
But three more heroes from July 13th who rendered first aid to Corey incredibly.
Dr. Jim Sweetland.
Rico Elmore, who was unbelievable.
Rico, you were unbelievable.
He ran over National Guard.
He ran over and grabbed Cory, and Cory was still living.
And he was doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a man who was really in bad shape, like nobody's ever seen.
And his family appreciates it, and I do, too.
So, thank you, Rico, very much.
Right?
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing the people that we have.
And you learn about them under times like this.
That's when you really learn.
So we're going to be seeing Rico again.
And Ed Sheer, fantastic job.
Thank you, Ed.
We appreciate it.
Thank you, Ed.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Ed.
Great job.
In addition, this evening, we have to send our prayers and support to all the families affected by Hurricane Helene.
This has been the worst hurricane response by a president and vice president since Katrina, and this is simply not acceptable.
Those people — I was there yesterday with North Carolina and Georgia, and I'll tell you — and, by the way, the governor of Georgia is doing an excellent job.
Excellent job.
But we have other people that aren't doing a good job, and we have to — we have to have them do a good job.
But the federal government is doing a very bad job.
They are not doing the job, and we have — Death and destruction that we haven't seen maybe ever.
It's a real bad one, and they have to get people there.
Because they don't have people there.
They don't have the people.
Kamala whined and dined in San Francisco, and all of the people in North Carolina, no helicopters, no rescue.
It's just, what's happened there is very bad.
They're offering them $750 to people whose homes have been washed away.
And yet we send tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries that most people have never heard of.
They're offering them $750.
They've been destroyed.
These people have been destroyed.
Young lady washed, you saw that with her son?
I mean, pretty, I wish I never saw it, but just washed away.
Your son was washed away with the grandparents.
And so sad.
And they're offering, they're giving him $750.
And think of it, we give foreign countries hundreds of billions of dollars, and we're handing North Carolina $750.
If you want a president, Who won't even try to save you when the floodwaters are rising?
Vote for Kamala.
She's not the right person.
Look, you know what?
If they were, if they did a good job, I wouldn't have run.
To be honest with you, I didn't need to do this.
I didn't need to.
If I thought they were doing an even modestly good job, I wouldn't have run.
But I saw right from the beginning, grossly incompetent.
And I was right about that.
And I decided to run.
And we're doing really well.
I was telling you about polls.
We're way up in some polls.
We're up in other polls.
And with the swing states, I think most of them have us up in every single swing state, including the great commonwealth of a place called Pennsylvania.
And don't ever not call it a Commonwealth, because I've seen people call it a state, and that's the end of them.
That's practically the end of their political career.
You got to be very careful with Pennsylvania.
It's that Commonwealth.
I haven't made that mistake.
I don't want to either.
It was not a pretty picture.
If you want a president who will stop at nothing to protect you and your family, I hope you're going to vote for a gentleman named Donald J. Trump.
Have you heard of him?
Together, we will rebuild Western North Carolina, rural Georgia, and every other state that's been so badly affected.
That includes Alabama.
Virginia was very hit hard.
South Carolina was hit very hard.
Florida.
So many states.
Tennessee was hit really hard.
They were all hit.
And we're going to work with them.
And, you know, the next president is going to be the one that really wants to get — they got to get this done.
But once that happens, the next president is going to be the one that has to really help them.
And J.D.
will be there to help them.
I know that.
2024 is the most important election in the history of our country.
And here are the facts.
My opponent, Kamala Harris, is the most incompetent and far-left nominee ever to run for president.
You know she's much further left than crazy Bernie Sanders.
You know that.
She wants to open borders.
She took the most secure border in U.S.
history and turned it into the worst border in the history of the world.
Remember, she was appointed border czar.
She says she wasn't now, after three years.
But she was.
But whether she was or not, she was in charge of the border.
And the other day, I saw her get up and say, we will do this, we will do that.
Why didn't they do it four years ago?
Why didn't they do it?
The damage is so bad.
It's been done.
She let in 21 million illegal aliens from all over the world, from prisons and jails and mental institutions.
And insane asylums, and they're terrorists at record levels, at levels we've never seen before.
She costs you $29,000 a family through inflation price hikes, and now she wants a larger tax hike.
And she wants to go to the largest tax hike in American history.
There's never been a tax hike like what she's proposing.
She's going to raise your taxes a minimum of $3,000.
She's a big taxer.
And she was the original creator of Defund the Police.
I think for all the sheriffs over here, if you're a partner in Defund the Police for even two days, you cannot be president.
But she was one of the founders of Defund the Police.
And she still believes that, by the way.
I don't know how anybody could, but she still believes that.
And if she ever had a chance, there's a good possibility she'd go back to it.
Can you imagine?
Somebody is robbing our house.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
That's what they say.
You know, they tried it.
And you know where they tried it?
In Minnesota with our...
Vice President.
And was it working out too well?
It was working out very well for the robbers and the criminals.
That's the only one it was working out well for.
Kamala Harris vowed to abolish ICE.
She wants mass amnesty and citizenship for illegals.
And worst of all, she lost, and this is maybe the worst thing in the whole, that nobody talks the fake news, won't mention it.
She lost more than 325,000 migrant children that are now dead in slavery.
Or just plain missing, probably never to be seen again, never to see their parents again.
But this isn't like — this is — 325,000 have been lost.
She praised the idea of a 70 percent to an 80 percent tax rate.
She imposed a natural gas export ban on Pennsylvania, which is killing your energy workers and your pricing.
You know, you have one of the highest energy costs in the country, and yet you're sitting on top of a massive amount of energy that she doesn't want to get.
It's been a disaster for your state, and now she's vowed repeatedly — now, all of a sudden, she changed her mind.
But when — you know, with politicians, it's always the first statement that comes out to be the one they want.
So, she spent 14 years knocking fracking.
We're never going to have fracking.
We're not going to frack.
All of a sudden, a little while ago, she came out.
I love fracking very much.
No, she'll go back to it.
And she even endorsed free sex changes for illegal aliens in detention at taxpayer expense.
I don't think Elon likes that idea.
unidentified
These are not ideas that Elon Musk likes too much.
And it was just announced yesterday in California, and he took this one from me.
I'm so upset.
But think of it, that the far less than average governor, Gavin Newsom, has banned any and all ID requirements from voting and registering to vote.
You're not even allowed to mention the fact, Elon.
You're not allowed to mention the fact.
You can't say, may I see your ID?
If you do, it's the criminal act.
This is like, this is a takeover of the country.
You're not allowed to ask for an ID.
If you do, it's a criminal count.
Other Democrat states are following.
This is only so they can cheat.
There's only one thing that you do this for, so that you can cheat on elections.
There's no other conceivable reason.
Kamala Harris is a radical left Marxist.
She is a woman that's not respected in Congress.
She was laughed at at Congress.
Nobody thought she could win.
You know, they did a coup of Biden.
Whether you like him or not, I'm not a particularly big fan, but We had a debate and debate ended and all of a sudden they come to him and they say, we want you out.
You're not going to win the election.
And he said, I don't want to get out.
He got 14 million votes.
If you believe in democracy or a system, he got 14 million votes and she got none.
She was the first one out 22 candidates and she never made it to Iowa.
She quit before Iowa and now she's running and that's okay.
But you know, we spent $150 million beating Biden.
And as soon as he was down and out for the count, they said, let's take him out.
We'll give somebody else to run.
Never happened before.
We do a lot of firsts, I will tell you.
We do a lot of firsts.
But she's a person that rated even worse in every statistic than any other senator.
She was rated at the bottom of the U.S.
Senate.
She's destroyed everything she touched, but the good news is that we have a plan to fix it.
We're going to fix it.
We're going to fix it fast.
Nobody is going to stand for open borders.
Nobody is going to stand for a bad military.
Nobody is going to stand for education that's not proper.
We're moving education back to the States.
You're going to be running your own education.
So we have, you know, in education, so important is what's more important than education, but we rank at the bottom of every list.
They rank 40 major countries.
We're at the bottom, but we're top of the list as the cost per pupil.
We spend more per pupil, per student, than any other country anywhere in the world.
So we're number one in that, and we're number 38, 39, or 40 every single time.
And you have Denmark, you have Sweden, you have Norway, you have China.
It's always the top five.
Can you believe it?
China is the top five.
That's amazing.
But we're going to move our education back to the states.
Starting on day one, I will seal the border and stop the migrant invasion into our country.
We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States.
Dwight Eisenhower, right now, has that record.
And by the way, it's not something I want to do.
I dread having to do it, but we have no choice.
What they've done to our country is not even believable, especially the criminals, the criminal element that's in our country.
And again, all over the world, crime rates are down because they've taken their criminals and they've dumped them into the United States.
And you know what?
I would have been worse than them.
I would have had it done even faster.
They've dumped them into the United States of America, and that's what we have.
And it's dangerous out there.
We're getting them out.
We're getting them out quickly.
And we will defeat inflation, and we will make America affordable again.
And it's going to start with liquid gold.
We have more liquid gold, oil, and gas under our feet than any nation in the world, including Saudi Arabia and Russia.
We will become energy-independent like we were just four years ago.
You know, four years ago, we were energy-independent.
Can you believe it?
And then we were going to become energy-dominant.
We will be dominant within a matter of months, and we will make so much money,
we are going to drill, baby, drill.
And we will again open ANWR.
Ronald Reagan tried to do it.
Every single president from before Reagan tried to do it, and I got it done.
ANWR is the largest drilling site anywhere in the world.
It could be larger.
Could be larger than Saudi Arabia.
Could be larger than Russia.
It's in Alaska.
And I got it done, and we worked to get it done.
And one of the first things he did was terminate ANWR.
And that was going to take care of all of Asia.
That was going to make us so much money.
We would have paid off debt.
You would have gotten — I gave you the biggest tax reduction in history.
You would have gotten even a bigger one.
You were going to be just very happy.
You were going to say, I like that guy very much.
20 million Americans are behind on their electric bills right now.
It was just announced.
20 million Americans.
They're struggling to pay their monthly bills at a record rate.
There's never been anything like it.
And it's all because of their anti-U.S.
energy regime, which has caused Pennsylvania electricity prices to raise almost 50%.
We will cut energy and electricity prices in half within 12 months.
We will halve your energy prices, your air conditioning, heating, cars if you buy a Tesla, which is good.
It's good.
We will have your energy prices cut in half.
It'll be cut in half within a period of one year from January 20th, which is the day we take office.
And that's going to save you a lot of money.
And that's going to, in turn, bring down — that's going to bring down the prices of everything.
Because, you know, more than anything else, people tell me about the groceries.
The groceries are groceries.
They used to — and what they're talking about is food.
Everything is going to be coming down when we do that.
We're also going to get your interest rates Way down.
We will bring automobile manufacturing back to the United States at levels never seen before, and we will turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower again.
It hasn't been there in many, many years.
We had it started four years ago.
The centerpiece of my plan for a manufacturing renaissance will be a 15% made-in-America corporate tax rate.
In other words, if you make your product in the United States, you get a rate.
So I cut it from 39% to 21%.
Everyone said that was impossible.
I got it done.
And we had the best boom we've ever had.
We did more revenue when we had it at 21 than when it was at 39.
Think of it.
Much more.
The following year, we did much more.
And then I'm going to take it from 21 to 15, which will make us the most competitive country in the world.
Nobody will be able to compete with us.
But that 15 rate only goes for those who make their product in America.
They have to make their product here, otherwise they pay 21.
And we will protect those companies moving into America and all of our existing companies with stiff tariffs placed on companies that don't move in.
If they don't come in, if they don't want to make their product here, that's fine, but they're going to be tariffed.
We have to protect our companies, and that's what we're going to do.
The only way they can get out of paying those tariffs is to build their plants and factories in America.
We may even be able to get Elon to build some of them.
I think we will.
And hire American workers for the job.
We're going to hire American workers for the job.
We will pass the Reciprocal Trade Act.
If China or any other country charges us 100 or 200 percent tax, then we will likewise charge them a 100 or 200 percent tax.
We had a lot of problems on that one with the Senate, and we're going to get that done.
Think of it.
They charge us, and we don't charge them.
Now, they charge us, we're going to charge them the same thing.
Reciprocal.
It's reciprocal.
I will not let Mexico, China, or any other country sell cars into the United States to the detriment of our autoworkers, who will do better than they have ever done.
We're going to bring back the car business like it was 50, 60, and 70 years ago.
Everyone's going to want to be back here.
And I will not approve Japan buying U.S.
Steel 70 years ago, the greatest company anywhere in the world.
It was the greatest company anywhere in the world, and now we have Japan buying U.S.
Steel.
I don't like that.
We will deliver massive tax cuts for workers, and we will have a policy that I think is so great.
No tax on tips.
No tax on overtime.
And no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
No tax.
And you know, when you think of it, our seniors were hurt so badly.
Inflation has killed our seniors.
You know, they have a fixed income, and it's just gotten worse and worse every week, every month.
It's gotten worse and worse, and it's just horrible.
And they haven't gone down.
They've only gone up.
Prices have still only gone up.
And while working Americans catch up, we're going to put a temporary cap on the credit card interest rates at 10 percent.
People are paying 28 percent interest, 25 percent interest.
I will always protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts.
We're not going to do anything with Social Security, but they're going to destroy Social Security because all of the migrants coming in are going on between Medicare, Social Security, other programs, and nobody is able to afford it.
I will settle the war in Ukraine.
I will end the chaos in the Middle East.
And I will prevent, I promise you, World War III.
We're not going to have World War III.
And right now, we're very close to having it.
We will lead the world in space exploration.
Thank you, Elon.
We will lead the world in military, and we will reach Mars before the end of my term.
Now, he told me that we're going to win, and he's going to reach Mars by the end of our term, which is a big thing.
Before China, before anybody, right?
And my money's on that guy right there.
We will rebuild our cities, including Washington, D.C., making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
And we will keep the U.S.
dollar as the world's reserve currency.
It's losing right now.
It's losing right now, but I'll be able to do it.
Other people won't.
I'll tell these countries as they leave us on the way.
I say, you want to do business in the United States?
You're going back into the reserve currency.
And if you don't, we're going to charge you a big, fat, beautiful tax to do business in the United States.
And they're going to say, I would love very much to go back into the U.S.
reserve currency.
No, we're going to save it.
But these people aren't going to save it.
They don't know how to talk.
They don't know how to think.
Together, we will deliver low taxes, low regulations, low energy costs, low interest rates, and low inflation so that everyone can afford groceries, a beautiful car, and a home.
Very basic.
It's very basic.
We will stop the invasion, end migrant crime, strengthen our military, build a missile defense shield around our country, Keep critical race theory and transgender insanity.
We're going to keep it the hell out of our school.
We're going to keep that insanity out of our school.
And as I said, we will keep men out of women's sports.
You saw that in the Olympics, they have female boxing, woman's boxing, and... We have over 220,000 people watching live right now here for the Loomer Unleashed stream.
And on President Trump's account, there are 11 million people watching.
I mean, it's just incredible because if you look at Kamala Harris, for example, she gets, what, 10,000 people, maybe max, who watch her streams on X. So it's incredible to see these numbers just to show you the enthusiasm for Trump.
But this beautiful young lady is out and she gets bummed.
Little jab, left jab.
And she goes back.
Oh, my God.
I've never been hit like that.
This is just like a defensive.
Then he goes, the corner said, You can do it.
You could take her.
You could.
So they push her out.
Boom.
Another one.
And she says, That's enough.
I can't do it.
I can't take it.
I've never seen anything.
So we had two people that transitioned.
Both people, shockingly, won the gold medal in their division.
So it's crazy.
And if you look at weightlifting contests, they're the best of all.
For years and years and years they go, they put an eighth of a pound on one side of the barbell.
An eighth of a pound on the other, and they can't do it.
And the record standing for 18 years, they just can't do it.
And then a guy comes along who never lifted before.
And he puts 100 pounds on, and he goes like this, like it's nothing.
It's so demeaning to women.
We're not going to allow it to happen.
It's ending.
No men playing in women's sports.
And we will defend the Second Amendment, protect religious liberty, restore free speech, and we will secure our elections.
Everyone will prosper.
Every family will thrive.
And every day will be filled with opportunity and hope.
We need hope.
We need the American Dream back, don't we?
We're going to have the American Dream.
We're going to have the American Dream so every kid in your family is going to grow up and say, I want to be like Elon Musk.
I want to have 200 billion in cash.
I'm going to be like Elon Musk.
That's the American Dream.
But for that to happen, we must defeat Kamala Harris and we must stop her country-destroying, radical-left agenda once and for all.
We cannot have it happen.
So you must get out and you must vote.
Here in this incredible Commonwealth, we stand on the shoulders of generations of Pennsylvania patriots who gave everything they could give, every single thing, for their rights and for their freedom.
Pennsylvania is where our founding fathers declared American independence and sounded the beautiful Liberty Bell.
It's where the Army weathered its brutal winter at Valley Forge, where General George Washington led his men on a daring mission across the Delaware, and where generations of tough, strong, beautiful miners and steelworkers put Pennsylvania's spirit into every single thing they did.
And from Gettysburg to Germantown and Philadelphia to Barren Hill and from Brandywine to right here in Butler, this is the place where Pennsylvania patriots poured out their blood with the love of their country.
They love their country so much.
And so, in honor of all those American heroes who came before us, we will press forward.
We will push onward.
And together, we will win, win, win.
We're going to win, win, win.
Nothing will sway us, nothing will slow us, and no one will ever stop us.
No matter what dangers come our way, no matter what obstacles we must face, we will keep striving toward our magnificent American future.
We will not fail.
We will not allow ourselves to fail.
From this day forward, we will always put America first, and we will take back and save the United States.
November 5th, Election Day, will be the most important day in the history of our country.
And together with the great people of Pennsylvania, we will make America powerful again.
I guess, I guess whoever has the copyright for the song, go look it up because I don't want to, I don't want to misspeak.
Whoever has the copyright for that song that President Trump has always used at his rallies closing out, closing out, the song to close out his rallies, excuse me, we've been streaming here for almost four hours now, they sued They said that they didn't want him using the song.
Do you have it?
Do you have the article pulled up?
Get it pulled up.
People can see.
Trump campaign must stop using Isaac Hayes song after lawsuit from family.
You could scroll down, scroll up, yeah.
So, a federal judge in Atlanta ruled Tuesday that former president Trump and his campaign must stop using this song, Hold On, I'm Coming, while the family of one of the song's co-writers pursues a lawsuit against the former president over its use.
So, you'll recall that he used to always end his rallies with that song.

♪ Goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall ♪ ♪ The major lift, the baffled king ♪
One week ago, Hurricane Helen swept into Florida's Big Bend and ravaged the southern Appalachians with heavy wind and apocalyptic flooding.
Some areas up in the mountains received over two feet of rain, which inevitably cascaded through the narrow valleys, forming tidal waves of water.
Roads, power lines, and entire sections of towns were washed away with water and mudslides in the ensuing floods.
Places like Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Asheville have been permanently altered.
Entire neighborhoods and streets have been erased, and the true scale of this disaster is just beginning to be fully understood.
Some of the more remote communities are still totally cut off, with rescuers only now starting to access these areas.
And the devastation is so severe that many parts of the region likely won't have power, water, or road access restored for months.
This storm has now claimed the lives of over 219 people, and that number is expected to rise significantly in the coming weeks.
Hundreds of thousands of people have had their lives and their communities permanently altered, and there's reports coming in on the ground from affected areas that the body bags are already at max capacity, which makes me worry that the death toll will be in the thousands.
And it makes you wonder why the media is not reporting the true death toll.
Given that America is the strongest nation on earth with a globe-spanning military actively involved around the world in places like Ukraine, one would think that we would be able to muster a massive response to help our own citizens in the heart of our own country, right?
Well, you'd be wrong.
Apparently FEMA, the agency tasked with responding to natural disasters, is currently out of money.
So what exactly did FEMA do with its $29.5 billion budget that it was allotted this year?
Well, it was wasted on illegal immigrants.
That's right.
The agency that really should be coming to the rescue of American citizens who just had their livelihoods washed away, instead decided to spend billions on third world imports who have no right to be here in the first place.
Is this not a perfect example of how far America has fallen?
Unfettered immigration has not only exacerbated inflation and wage stagnation, eroded the cultural fabric of America, and disrupted beautiful communities around the nation, but it has now also taken precedence over the real Americans who need help.
This country is a joke.
It has become a mockery of itself.
Citizenship no longer means anything.
In fact, to be a citizen is to have to pay exorbitant taxes only to see that money, your hard-earned money, shipped overseas or put directly in the pocket of some migrant criminal from some shithole country.
And despite the attention brought towards this subject by Donald Trump at recent rallies, including his own rally tonight, and this was brought up by J.D.
Vance and Eric Trump and other speakers, just the absolute abomination of money going to illegal aliens instead of the people in North Carolina and Tennessee and Georgia and South Carolina and Florida and other parts of our country that have been affected by Hurricane Helene.
The import and the dispersion of these migrants has continued unabated.
The same fate that has befallen Springfield, Ohio and Charleroi, Pennsylvania is destined for thousands of additional small towns across this country.
Migrants will arrive unceremoniously dropped off quietly by a random charter bus and let loose on your town.
The American people should be outraged.
They should be absolutely outraged at the current border and migrant crisis alone.
But to think that thousands of Americans are at this moment suffering without power, food and water and cannot be helped because the feds were too busy helping illegals should boil the blood of every single patriot in this country.
There should be a national outcry.
There should be protests at every FEMA office in this country.
There ought to be a crowd outside of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' house for months to come.
And not just for the invasion, and not just for the fact that there's no more FEMA funds, but also for the fact that he, Alejandro Mayorkas, the man who controls Secret Service, okay?
I mean, like, I'm gonna run out of fingers if we talk about how many times Alejandro Mayorkas has dropped the ball.
He should be ashamed of himself.
There should be protesters outside of this man's house protesting what has happened, especially given the fact that he denied security to President Donald Trump.
And yet he's MIA.
Where is he?
Where's Alejandro Mayorkas?
Also, what happened to the billions of dollars that we've been shipping overseas to places like Ukraine over the past few years?
America is now on the hook for over $500 billion in our direct and indirect support for Ukraine, and for what?
I mean, really, honestly, what exactly have we gained as a return on our investment?
a bunch of dead Russians and Ukrainians on the other side of the world.
Towns and entire regions destroyed by conflict, the threat of nuclear war.
In truth, the only reason we have a hand in that conflict is because we see
Ukraine as an effective tool to bleed Russia dry of money and men.
However, Ukraine really is the grift that keeps on grifting.
Their President Zelensky just returned to the United States in an attempt to squeeze even more cash out of the Biden administration and our Congress.
And to the shock of nobody, our leaders in D.C.
happily bent over backwards to hand out even more money to continue the pointless fight there.
This, of course, stands in stark contrast to the situation unfolding in the Appalachians.
The federal government has totally dropped the ball and They're not even helping deliver aid!
They say they are, but we've seen reports from people on the ground that say that the government is obstructing aid efforts.
Our government has wasted allocated money and our representatives will squabble incessantly over helping our own citizens.
Imagine what even a fraction of the money we've shipped to Ukraine could do for a community like Chimney Rock.
We're talking about life-changing aid that could rebuild these once thriving areas, money that could ease the pain so many people are now experiencing.
Money that could quickly restore road and utility service to isolated communities, but instead the best of America will see nothing while the worst of the world gets it all.
This is something that Donald Trump has been leaning into on the campaign trail lately, and it's something you saw him lean into tonight at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump has long recognized that immigration has been a disaster for America and that too much focus is put on foreign nations while we suffer domestically.
Trump flew to Valdosta, Georgia last week to personally deliver aid, along with a handful of charity organizations, and he was just in North Carolina yesterday.
He has seen the plight of the people in the swath of Helene's destruction, and he made it a point to get on the ground as quickly as possible.
Immigration and Hurricane Helen will likely be hot topics in the coming weeks, and it was certainly a hot topic at President Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania tonight.
Recall that just three months ago, Donald Trump was nearly killed in Butler by an assassin's bullet.
In true Trump fashion, he now triumphantly returned to the exact same location his voters had to literally run for their lives, although most of them were really just there, happy to support President Trump.
I mean, he mentioned this tonight as well.
The exact same location where an assassin tried to assassinate not just Donald Trump, but his supporters, and tragically did assassinate Cory Comparatore, And this happened, what, three months ago?
Three months ago?
And we're a month away from Election Day and we still don't have any answers about the attempted assassination on Donald Trump's life?
I mean, when is Alejandro Mayorkas going to be arrested and charged as an accessory to murder, an accessory to attempted murder of Donald Trump?
Make no mistake, what we saw tonight in Butler, Pennsylvania was a homecoming.
A symbolic gesture to tell the entire world that Donald Trump and his MAGA movement will not be silenced and they cannot be silenced.
And so tonight, it was my pleasure to bring you, here on Loomer Unleashed, full coverage of President Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And I hope that all of you will get out and vote, and that you will register as many people as you can, and tell everybody you know to get out and support President Donald Trump, because truly, our lives depend on it.
Vote like your life depends on it because it truly does.
We'll take a few more questions from the chat tonight.
But we are witnessing the end of America as we know it, unless Donald Trump gets back into office, unless Donald Trump wins this election.
And I just hope that if you watch this rally tonight, and if you're watching tonight, so clearly you watch it if you're watching the stream, but if you tuned in late and you missed it, go back and watch the whole thing, start to finish.
Because we need Donald Trump, and if we do not get Donald Trump back into office, this country's over.
This country is over.
Very, very somber. And while it was great to see President Trump there tonight and
Just like an assassin's bullet came this close to taking out Donald Trump and came this close to assassinating Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris is going to be a bullet for our country.
Kamala Harris is basically an assassin and if she wins this election, it's like putting a bullet through the heart of America.
Hopefully that analogy will stick with you.
Hopefully that analogy will stick with everybody watching this tonight.
It was an amazing tribute to Corey Comparatore tonight as well, and we're going to talk about that.
I'm going to look at your comments, but before we close out tonight, I also want to take a moment to thank the third sponsor of tonight's live coverage here on Loomer Unleashed.
Of course, I wouldn't be able to bring you guys this live coverage if it were not for our sponsors here at Rumble.
Rumble.com slash Laura Loomer for Loomer Unleashed, and that of course is positive.
Let's be real, getting your dog to the vet has never been tougher.
With a $15,000 vet shortage predicted by 2030 and emergency clinics cutting back hours, some pet owners are waiting weeks for appointments.
I mean, just look at everybody right now that is struggling.
They had to flee their homes and who knows if their homes were destroyed in the hurricane and they had to bring their pets with them.
Obviously, we don't want our animals drowning.
Imagine how you're going to cater to your animal in the middle of an emergency, medical emergency, hurricane.
No wonder 66% of U.S.
households now have pets and vets are struggling to keep up with the growing number of pets.
What's the number one reason we're all scrambling to get appointments?
Well, skin problems followed by stomach issues, common problems that you could treat at home with the right tools for your forever friend.
That's why we created the Positive Medical Kit.
You can see here, I have it on the back shelf right here.
That's what the medical kit looks like.
Packed with allergy meds, anti-diarrheals, poison control, wound care, and more.
It's like having a mini vet clinic at your home.
And I have used this on my own animals here, Bloomer and Mecca.
You'll save money, avoid long waits, and most importantly, potentially save your dog's life when it matters most.
So why wait for long appointments and spend hundreds of thousands, hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars at the vet?
I mean look, when I had to take my dog in to get surgery, it was thousands of dollars.
Luckily I had pet insurance because that is an expensive pet bill.
Get the positive medical kit today and handle things at home and you can keep your dog healthy and happy with confidence.
So head on over to positive.com slash loomer.
Again, that's positive.com slash loomer and use code loomer and get 15% off.

We have the new promo for my docuseries, The Great Replacement.
So, the first episode of the docuseries is coming out on October 8th, and so I'm extremely excited to share all that with you.
And here's the promo that we released yesterday.
And so, stay tuned because this is going to be a bombshell docuseries called The Great Replacement that really dissects illegal immigration and exposes the facilitators of it.
As you guys know, I went down to the Darien Gap and I've been covering the illegal invasion of our country for quite some time now.
So here is the promo.
I hope you all enjoy it and share it.
It is on my app.
unidentified
I know what a crime looks like.
And I will tell you, an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
They're just all going to be processed because they're just going to say they're refugees.
I'm going to be releasing that on October 8th, so I'm really looking forward to that.
And if you want to support that, well, we'll be releasing links where you can donate to support the production cost of this.
But it's very exciting.
It's all going to be coming out soon.
And every single week from October 8th till the election, we are going to be releasing another episode.
So it's very exciting.
And I'm glad you guys like the promo.
Thank you.
Somebody said they missed my entire stream.
That's okay.
You can go back and you can watch the replay on X. You can watch the replay on Rumble.
I think right now we have 400,000 live viewers.
That is incredible, you guys.
400,000 live viewers right now.
That is amazing.
So, thank you so much.
We've had over a million views, it says here, for the stream tonight.
And that's all because of you.
So I want to thank all of you, my supporters, for supporting me and also tuning in to support President Donald Trump, the greatest president our country's ever had.
And we need to get him elected.
We need to do everything we can.
So again, the voter registration deadlines are quickly approaching for your states, respectively, that you live in.
So make sure that you register to vote.
Register everybody you know to vote before the deadline this coming week, because you can't just show up to vote and vote.
You have to be registered.
You need to be registered at your current address.
You need to be registered at your current address.
So if you moved, be sure that you update your registration so that we can get as many people out as possible and replace Kamala and Joe Biden and get Donald Trump back into office or else we're going to be replaced.
That's what my docuseries is about, you guys.
So they will replace us with illegal alien invaders if we do not get Donald Trump back into office.
Someone said, you are amazing, Laura.
You are needed to vet people in President Trump's cabinet.
Well, I would love to, and it would be an honor to support President Trump in any way I could.
I would love to help vet people, so we'll see.
But as you saw these last two weeks, there's a lot of people, some who even work for President Trump and some who...
Surround him, unfortunately, who wants to badmouth me, lie about me, smear me, and try to poison people against me.
So look, we have a lot of people that want to use President Trump.
They want to rip him off.
They want to steal money from him.
They want to infiltrate his inner circle so that they can destroy our country.
And so obviously, those are the people that are lying about me and telling President Trump and people on his campaign to not associate with me because, well, I'm effective.
Obviously, I'm effective and I'm loyal.
So, and I do all of this on my own dime with the support of the American people.
So, you have people that wouldn't even support Donald Trump if he were to go to jail tomorrow and all the money were to go away.
And the people that aren't making a single dime doing this are the people that are most loyal, are the people that all the haters, some of the haters that surround him want to, you know, dissuade him from speaking to.
So, and I'm not saying that's everybody that's around Donald Trump.
There obviously are bad people that are in his orbit still, so...
I mean, look, we need to protect him.
I think that everybody's kind of wondering how is it that he had, well, two assassination attempts on his life, and people say, oh, well, how did the guy know that he was going to be playing golf?
And how come they let him get on stage when they knew that there was a shooter on the roof?
So I think it's pretty evident that not everybody who's around Donald Trump has his best interests in mind.
And so, you know, that's been made very clear over these last three months.
And Donald Trump needs to have people on his side who are loyal to him and care about him.
Don't want anything from him in return.
With that, I think it was an amazing rally tonight.
It's late.
I've been streaming for four hours, and I hope that all of you will be getting out to vote and telling everybody that you know to get out to vote soon.
Early voting and mail-in ballots are going to be sent out soon, and so I'm wondering how all these people in North Carolina and Georgia and South Carolina and Tennessee and Florida who just lost everything are going to be able to vote, especially if they're voting by mail.
Some of these towns where post offices were wiped out A lot of critical infrastructure for voting was wiped out, and we need to make sure that these people can vote.
So, with that, thank you so much for tuning in to the live coverage of President Trump's historic rally in Butler, Pennsylvania tonight.
