There is a young female journalist, conservative journalist by the name of Laura Loomer.
If America's men acted like Laura Loomer, our problems will be fixed in about five minutes.
Chained herself to Twitter.
She chained herself.
Chained herself.
scorching you you you you you you you Good evening and welcome to episode 136 of Loomer Unleashed.
I'm your host, Laura Loomer.
We are live right now on rumble.com.

That helps maintain my independent status as an investigative reporter and it allows me and my team here at Loomer Unleashed to continue bringing you the news that seems to really just be dominating the news cycles These days, every single day.
It's another Laura Loomer frenzy.
The media is absolutely obsessed with my independent vetting operation that I'm running here.
And, you know, look, I think it's interesting.
The media is starting to realize that they are one, not just irrelevant, but two, their smear campaigns against individuals are really starting to not really be listened to as much as they used to.
So they used to constantly demonize me, and they still do.
They still do demonize me.
But now what's so great about this, and what's so great about the work that I'm doing is they're forced to finally recognize me.
They're no longer able to ignore me.
Before, when I would break a story about somebody who was disloyal to the president or I broke a story that had a national impact, they would constantly steal, you know, steal my work and they would attribute it to other people.
But now I'm finally getting credit.
It seems like, not always.
I'm finally, though, getting credit for my hard work and my investigative skills and my research and all of the hard work and many hours every single day that my team and I pour into supporting President Trump and exposing the truth and exposing this continued vetis at the White House.
We are live on Rumble and we're live on X. So please be sure that you're following me on X at Laura Loomer and also be sure that you're following me on X at Loomer Unleashed.
We're going to be joined by our guest momentarily, but before that, we're going to take a look at some of these articles and talk about the continued White House vetting crisis.
I got multiple people fired this week.
I mean, ultimately, it's President Trump's decision, right?
Who he decides to hire and who he decides to fire and terminate from his administration.
But the media is going crazy.
They're talking about my body count.
It's kind of interesting, right?
Tell we're transforming the definition of body count.
Usually when somebody talks about body count, it's like how many women, how many, how many men a woman has slept with or how many women a man has slept with.
But here we have the Daily Beast today.
Body count, every Trump administration scalp Laura Loomer has taken so far.
Laura Loomer's loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 ousters so far.
Hey, I'm picking up the slack, right?
Last time I checked, there were people who actually, you know, work in the Trump administration.
They're on our dime as taxpayers getting paid.
Some of them making close to $200,000 a year.
Their job is supposed to be to vet for the president, right?
Comes with all these nice little perks of being a staffer in the White House.
But hey, last time I checked, there were people who worked in the federal government whose responsibility it was to conduct this vetting.
So I don't understand why there's so much outrage over the additional vetting that I'm doing independently of the Trump administration.
This is something that is supposed to be done by people who are already getting paid from your taxpayer dollars to do this service for the president of the United States.
And obviously, they're either understaffed or some of these people aren't very good at what they do because there's a serious vetting crisis.
And it extends all the way throughout, I guess you could say, every single agency within the Trump administration and within the federal government.
This isn't something that's just unique to the White House.
This is something that extends to the Department of Defense, to health and human services, right?
I mean, we have identified holdovers in nearly every single government agency thus far, especially the intel community.
It's very sinister.
It's very dangerous for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, the America First agenda, for there to be so many holdovers at the CIA, at the FBI, at the NSC.
We just witnessed the most egregious case of weaponized government in U.S. history with the declassification of the Russia Gate documents by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Everybody now knows that Russia Gate wasn't just a conspiracy.
It's now a proven fact that Russia Gate was a hoax.
It was a hoax perpetuated by the Obama administration by James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, all of these deep state individuals who we knew were guilty of committing treason in our country.
We knew were guilty of organizing a spy operation.
We knew we're guilty of staging a coup against Donald Trump and his first administration.
And yet we were gaslit for the last eight years by the radical left, the Democrats, the mainstream media, you know, all these so-called real journalists who actually have White House press passes.
I guess my application must have gotten lost along the way.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't really understand how all these fake news operations who perpetuated this Russia hoax and tried to gaslight Donald Trump when he said that Obama and his administration were spying on him and his campaign team.
All of these esteemed journalists.
Apparently they're good enough for the White House.
I don't know.
But if you're running a vetting operation and you're breaking stories every single day that consume the national media, I don't know.
I guess that's not worthy of having a White House press pass, but who knows?
One of these days, one of these days, you know, one of these days, I'm going to be worthy.
One of these days, I'll be just as worthy as Caitlin Collins and Dana Bash and Jake Tapper and, you know, so many of these other amazing real news reporters who somehow get access to the White House.
But until then, I guess I'm just going to have to continue my vetting operation from the outside.
Well, we can continue, right, Loomer?
Scroll down.
MAGA loyalist Laura Loomer has been on a tear.
Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists, it's so funny.
They call me a conspiracy theorist, yet everything that I'm posting is true.
Everything that I'm posting is a fact.
Everything that I'm posting is the Work that people who work inside the Trump administration are supposed to be doing for Donald Trump, but they're falling short.
It's interesting, right?
So many people are elevated, and so many people continue to be rewarded for falling short.
We were told that this was not going to be a DEI administration, but I don't know.
Isn't that the definition of DEI when you continue to be rewarded and you continue to have a job even after you keep on screwing up?
I mean, I thought that this was a merit-based administration.
Over the last several months, the far-right conspiracy theorists and provocateurs taking credit for the removal of one Trump administration official after another.
While President Trump has tried to downplay her influence, I mean, nowhere did President Trump try to downplay my influence.
I mean, they love trying to, you know, make it seem like I'm on the outs with Donald Trump when in reality, I'm one of the few that's actually looking out for Donald Trump, right?
I'm one of the few that's actually looking out for Donald Trump and doing the job that many of his own paid staffers are supposed to be doing, but they're not.
Loomer's deeply researched loyalty tests have coincided with at least 16 removals.
Loomer, a self-described Islamophobe who called 9-11 an inside job, once operated at the fringes of the MAGA movement.
But with each scalp, she claims the evidence mounts that her takedowns carry serious weight within the administration, no matter how distasteful those close to the president find her.
Here's Loomer's political body count to date.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Schleifer.
Remember him?
He got exposed.
Six aides on President Trump's National Security Council.
Remember Signalgate?
Remember the genius Michael Waltz?
How could you forget?
NSA Director Timothy Hoag and NSA Deputy Director Wendy Noble.
Just got their lawyer this week, too.
Deputy National Secure, Deputy Security Advisor, excuse me, Michael Waltz and Deputy National Security Advisor Alex Wong.
Now he's over at the United Nations.
Surgeon General nominee, Dr. Jeanette Nushwat.
That's Mike Waltz's sister-in-law.
Nothing like some good old-fashioned nepotism.
Am I right?
Let's scroll down.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey.
I mean, again, look, guys, why is it that I have to be the one to point out the fact that, you know, James Comey, former FBI director, participated in Crossfire Hurricane, staged a coup against President Trump?
Remember that guy?
Yeah.
Why do I have to be the one to point out the fact that James Comey's daughter and her husband, James Comey's son-in-law, both of whom are radical leftists, Trump haters, voted for Hillary Clinton, voted for Joe Biden?
Why do I have to be the one to point out to the administration that she's still working at the DOJ or was at least right when I flagged this over at the DOJ?
It's crazy to think that, you know, they had an entire transition team.
You have all these geniuses over at the DOJ.
You have all these geniuses in the Trump administration, and nobody could figure out the fact that James Comey's daughter was still working over at the DOJ and her husband still works over at the DOJ.
And then they try to demonize me and they, you know, they try to make me out to be a villain.
But at the end of the day, everybody loves a villain.
Everybody loves a villain, right?
One person's villain is another person's hero.
That's just how it goes.
But they try to demonize me because they don't want to admit that they fell short.
So I have to be the so-called villain.
And then, of course, you know, I have to deal with all these derogatory attacks.
Like, oh, no matter how distasteful so many of the people who work for President Trump think or find her to be, who cares?
Like, who really cares at the end of the day if people find me to be distasteful?
What matters in life is whether you win.
Okay.
What matters in life is whether or not you're right.
And what matters in life is whether or not you are truthful and whether you are honest.
The truth shall set you free, right?
Anybody know who said that?
The truth shall set you free.
And that's what these people don't like.
They don't like the fact that the truth is being exposed.
They don't like the fact that there are independent operators who exist on the outside of the administration who expose the truth and they're able to pierce the veil, the veil of, they're able to pierce the veil of all the subversion and all the gatekeeping.
They don't like the fact that there are independent truth seekers who are able to pierce the veil of all of the sabotage, the deliberate sabotage and obstruction of Donald Trump that's been ongoing for the last decade.
They absolutely hate it because they hate those who they cannot control.
And that's why I'm not in the administration.
Not because I'm not talented, not because I'm not smart.
I mean, shit, I'm a lot smarter than a lot of these people, obviously.
Not because I don't work hard.
Obviously, I work a lot harder and I work way longer hours than a lot of these people do.
It's because they can't control me.
And what I've learned through running for office twice and being involved in Republican Party politics for the last 12 years of my life and working in conservative media and meeting everybody, knowing everybody, you know, being in the same room with all these people, all these political consultant types.
It doesn't matter how dedicated you are.
It also doesn't really matter how loyal you are at the end of the day.
It doesn't matter how dedicated you are or how loyal you are, how smart you are, how driven you are, how much you sacrifice.
It doesn't matter because you're never going to be worthy in their eyes unless you allow yourself to be controlled.
And if you don't allow yourself to be controlled, you will forever be on the outside.
You will forever be excommunicated.
You will forever be an outsider in Washington, D.C. Because, I mean, look, we live in an era where people are willing to literally pay for your silence.
They are willing to pay for you to go away and be silent, right?
We live in an era where people would rather pay for people to go away and be silent than they would for people to actually be truth seekers and work hard.
I mean, we've seen this.
We've seen how people, everybody has a price.
We've seen how politicians are paid off to not talk about issues anymore, to not press issues anymore.
We've seen how people are paid off via lucrative settlements to quietly go away and not press on an issue anymore.
We have seen the way that people have a price that they're willing to accept.
Everybody has their number, I guess you could say, to go away, be controlled, take orders and not push back and not speak the truth.
And a lot of the people who work in Washington, D.C., unfortunately, have sold out.
A lot of people who work in Washington, D.C. on both sides of the political aisle have named their price.
They've given their number.
And that's why they're not effective.
That's why they're not able to enact change.
That's why, it's not that they don't want to enact change.
They don't care to enact change because a lot of times, a lot of these people, have been bought off or they're in some type of financial arrangement to be silent so that there isn't any effective change in Washington, D.C. I mean, it's crazy to me how I'm on the outside.
I don't have a security clearance.
I don't even have a White House press pass, but I'm able to expose this information.
So you have to ask yourself, if I'm able to expose all of this while not working inside the administration, how many people who work in the administration are well aware of all of this sabotage, right?
All of this obstruction that is happening within the Trump administration.
How many people who work inside the administration are aware of all these holdovers and all these, you know, sweetheart deals that a lot of these individuals who participated in the Russia collusion host against President Trump, a lot of these individuals who supported the raid on
Mar-a-Lago, a lot of these individuals who said that Donald Trump wasn't fit to be president, a lot of these individuals who wrote letters during his administration condemning him, saying that he was a threat to our national security, a lot of these individuals who participated in the spying on President Trump, a lot of these individuals who supported the indictment of President Trump.
How many people know that these individuals are still working inside the Trump administration, basically stealing taxpayer money so that they can get some kind of lucrative position with benefits, some lucrative position with the federal government on
taxpayer dime because these people would rather stay friends with political traitors, people who committed treason in our country, people who should not just lose their security
clearances, but also be criminally prosecuted and charged and jailed for what they did to Donald Trump, for what they did perpetuating this hoax in our country, for what they did undermining our intelligence agencies, weaponizing our Justice Department, weaponizing our intel agencies, stealing an election.
These people belong in jail.
They don't belong in the Trump administration making $200,000 a year or having security clearances where they can be government contractors making millions of dollars a year selling access through their security clearances.
All right?
They don't deserve that.
They don't deserve to reap the benefits of a Trump administration after they worked tirelessly these last 10 years to make sure that Donald Trump was thwarted and obstructed and that he, you know, wasn't able to have a successful election in 2020 because of election fraud, a stolen election, and mass censorship and deplatforming and demonization and indictment after indictment.
These people deserve to be named and shamed and perp-walked into the public square and humiliated.
What they really deserve is the punishment for treason on the books.
I mean, we all know what that is, right?
We all know what the real punishment for treason is in this country.
I mean, if we had a real justice system in this country, we wouldn't just be talking about putting people in handcuffs and sending them to jail.
We'd be talking about having military tribunals and political executions, okay?
I'm not advocating for political violence, but that's what we would be talking about if we had actual justice in this country, okay?
The punishment for treason in this country is death.
And nobody really wants to have a conversation about that.
Last time I was on Tim Pool's show and I had a conversation about what the punishment for treason was, he pulled the plug because he said, oh, YouTube is going to ban us.
YouTube is going to ban us if we have a conversation about this.
Well, I'm like, why are we talking about tech companies banning people for having a conversation about the laws of this land?
Why are we having a conversation about the big tech social media companies that get billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded government contracts every single year, all right?
Why are we talking about these people silencing the speech of American citizens who are talking about civics in the United States of America?
These people don't just want to evade accountability.
They don't just want to evade punishment for their crimes and for their disloyalty and the treason that they've committed.
They want to silence people and they want to demonize people who are speaking truth about law and order.
They want to silence people who are speaking truth about justice in the American way.
That's why they hate me.
They hate me because they can't control me.
They hate me because I'm not going to turn a blind eye to all of the sabotage, to all of the disloyalty, so that I can get invited to some shitty holiday party and eat shitty hors d'oeuvres with shitty people in Washington, D.C. who are fake as shit and at the end of the day, they're irrelevant.
They're not as important as they think they are.
I mean, that's really what these people want.
They want to go along to get along so that they can go to the White House Christmas party, so they can go to all of these holiday parties the hanukkah party the white house correspondence dinner and eat plastic chicken and take selfies with fake people in washington dc Who would sell them down the river in a heartbeat if it meant getting a raise or putting some money in their bank account?
You couldn't pay me to do that.
I have no desire to be around these people.
I have no desire to be friends with these people.
I have no desire to work with these people, honestly.
I probably should be.
I probably should be.
But what terrifies them is that I've been able to prove that I could be effective even on the outside.
All right.
They thought that they were going to silence me of all people by cutting off my access, by denying me of a job that I earned four times.
Okay.
Employed by President Trump to work at the White House four times.
That's what they thought.
They thought that they were going to silence me and make me quit and make me go away because they were able to block President Trump's orders to hire me on four separate occasions.
They thought that they were going to silence me and make me go away by banning me on every single social media platform over these last 10 years of my life, shutting me down, debanking me, panning me on payment platforms, making it so that I'm not able to monetize my content except on Rumble.
Can't even get on YouTube.
That's what they thought.
But now, not only have I beaten the system and I'm on Rumble and I have a show and people like you are watching my show and supporting my work, but I'm unleashed.
I'm completely unleashed and I'm uncensored and I'm unchained and I'm uncontrollable.
And that's what they don't like.
They don't like the fact that I am able to distribute my content and they can't fire me.
They can't say, you know what, you're fired.
But that's what I get to do now in some capacity, right?
I'm not Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is the one ultimately who gets to say you're fired, but I get to help deliver the truth that leads to them being told you're fired.
So it's interesting how life works.
And, you know, perhaps I'm meant to be on the outside.
You know, maybe there's a reason why I'm on the outside.
Perhaps I wouldn't be able to do all this work if I was on the inside working in some kind of official capacity within the White House or working as some kind of, you know, official government employee.
I'd be bound by the rules and the regulations of the federal government.
I don't know.
They say everything happens for a reason.
But what I do know is that nothing terrifies these people more than having the flashlight shown on them.
They don't want to be exposed to this light, this disinfectant, because they all have something to hide.
Okay.
Washington, D.C. is one of the most corrupt places, if not the most corrupt place in the entire world.
And, you know, being in this industry for the last 12 years, I know where a lot of bodies are buried.
I know where a lot of people's bodies are buried.
I know a lot of people's secrets.
And at the end of the day, there's no such thing as a secret in Washington, D.C. And somewhere along the way, all of these people, they knifed people to get where they wanted to go.
They're going to continue knifing people just like they knifed me to get places where they want to go.
And at the end of the day, when people get knifed, who do you think they come to?
They come to me.
And so essentially, it's one big circle jerk of knifing, you know, when you think about it.
It's one big circle jerk of knifing.
And what's glorious about this is that I'm never going to change, but all these people are going to change, right?
Because it's inevitable.
Washington, D.C. corrupts you.
When you get to Washington, D.C., you get corrupted.
It's inevitable.
People change.
Their values change.
So what's great about this arrangement is that I don't change.
I've always been who I am, which is why they don't like me because I'm not going to change.
They want me to change.
Trust me.
They want me to change.
They wanted me to change when I was running for Congress.
They wanted me to change when I was fighting big tech.
They want me to change now.
They always want me to change something.
Oh, just soften your tone.
Oh, you know, just change your hair color.
Oh, try to lose some weight.
Oh, just this.
Oh, just that.
It's always something.
You know, you're never, you're never going to be good enough for these people.
You're never going to be good enough for them.
But eventually, somebody always gets knifed.
And when people get knifed, they like to talk, right?
And that's what's great about this situation is that eventually the circle of knifing gets everybody.
It gets everybody.
It's like this mentality of, oh, the crocodile is going to eat me last.
Eventually, you're going to get knifed too.
If you work in this industry and you work in Washington, D.C., and this is how you make your living is by, you know, being duplicitous and knifing people to get what you want.
People want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.
Never forget that.
That's how Washington, D.C. works.
People want to see you do well.
Oh, you know, Laura, I'm so happy for you.
Oh, you know, it's so great that you're not banned anymore.
Oh, you know, it's so great.
It's so great seeing you get to go to the White House.
People want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.
And when they start to think that you're going to do better than them, they knife you.
They knife you.
They try to bring you down a notch.
And ultimately, when people get knifed, they love to talk and they should.
They should be talking.
Everybody should be talking, right?
Because this is not a sustainable culture.
It's not a sustainable culture.
And you know what?
We're never going to have true change in our country if this is how things operate.
And unfortunately, this is how everything operates in Washington, D.C. So I'm going to keep on exposing people.
We have a lot of people to go through tonight.
We're going to keep on going through this list right now before I bring my next guest on.
We're on number 13 right here.
Let's keep going through this article.
FDA vaccine chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad.
NSA General Counsel, April Falcon Doss.
That was this week.
Distinguished chair at West Point's Department of Social Sciences, Jenna Easterly.
And there's just many more, right?
This is just one article.
This is a Daily Beast article.
Let's go to the New York Times article.
They're calling me the loyalty enforcer.
I mean, I call myself a loyalty enforcer.
And, you know, this toxic culture of knifing people is seen in the way that the media tries to mock loyalty.
You know, President Trump himself said that there's nothing worse than disloyalty, right?
We can find this clip.
We can pull it.
It's a very famous clip the president posted.
It's from, it's from a, it's from an interview that he did.
It's from an interview he did in the 80s.
It's a clip of President Trump talking about how there's nothing more horrible than disloyalty.
It's a horrible act, right?
And we'll play the clip for you tonight.
But this is the problem is that they mocked Donald Trump for talking about loyalty when he ran for president the first time.
He was able to convey the importance of loyalty to the American people.
The concept of America first, being loyal to your country, right?
A foreign concept to so many people in Washington, D.C., who have been selling our country out for so long.
And when the president has loyal people around him, because Washington, D.C. is built on this culture of knifing everybody and trying to, you know, screw everybody over to get what you want, the circle jerk of knifing to, you know, bring everybody down.
Like I said, people want to see you do well, but they never want to see you do better than them.
Every single time somebody's doing better than you, right?
It's time to take out the knives.
Time to take out the knives.
Time to shank somebody.
How it works.
They try to just mock people.
They like to mock people who are loyal.
And that's what they do to me.
They're like, oh, Laura calls herself the loyalty enforcer.
Oh, you know, she has these purity tests.
It's like, well, maybe you wouldn't have to wonder why I have access to President Trump or why the president listens to me if you actually valued loyalty the same way that I value loyalty and the same reason why President Trump values loyalty.
I believe we have the clip.
Let's go ahead and play the clip.
Someday I'd like to be poor just for a little while just to see who's going to remain loyal to me.
There were specifically 24 or 25 people that I have earmarked who were very disloyal, who shouldn't have been disloyal.
And I think that's the thing that I learned more than anything else.
Nancy was loyal.
Because I'm like this great loyalty freak.
I'm loyal to a point of the absurd.
I stay with people.
I built this empire.
I guess I'm one of those loyal freaks too.
And it drives the media crazy.
It drives the media crazy.
They hate loyalty.
They're built off an empire of lies.
And that's how they've been able to survive as long as they have.
That's how they've been able to build their fortune, their multi-billion dollar fortunes in the media.
That's how they've been able to ascend the ladder of political power in our country is because they are disloyalty freaks, right?
They've been dishonest.
And I agree with President Trump.
You know, I'm a loyalty freak.
I like to stay with people.
And if I'm going to be demonized for that, for being a so-called loyalty freak, so be it, right?
You can scroll up.
You can see this New York Times article just came out, came out yesterday.
Loyalty enforcer Laura Loomer targets additional officials.
The far-right activist is continuing to use her close association with President Trump to go after those she deems insufficiently loyal.
Hey, you know, everybody's got a nickname.
I call myself Loyal Loomer.
I call myself Loyal Loomer.
I call myself Loyal Loomer during the campaign too.
And people mocked me for it.
But hey, loyalty goes a long way.
You can scroll down.
Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and self-described Trump administration loyalty enforcer, has had another busy stretch.
Last Friday, April Falcon Doss, the general counsel of the National Security Agency, was fired after Ms. Loomer spotlighted conservative attacks of her previous work, including for the Senate Intelligence Committee's Democratic staff.
Then the Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Dr. Vinay Prasad, resigned on Tuesday after a post by Ms. Loomer on social media in which she pointed out his past statements disparaging President Trump and describing his following as a cult.
On Wednesday, the Army Secretary, Daniel Driscoll, ordered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind the employment offer it made to a cybersecurity expert and Army veteran, Jen Easterly.
Ms. Easterly, who has worked for both Republican and Democratic administrations, had drawn Ms. Loomer's ire for serving as the director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, Saiza, under Joe Biden.
They are the most recent examples of government officials being loomered in Ms. Loomer's own parlance.
A podcaster and influencer who expresses fierce fidelity to Mr. Trump, Ms. Loomer has flexed the power of her broad social media following and her access to the White House to target those that she views as insufficiently loyal.
Kevin Carroll, a former CIA officer who is now a lawyer representing intelligence officials fired by the Trump administration, said Ms. Loomer's unfettered influence was dangerous.
You have a person from outside the government of no national security experience and with extreme views, having de facto hire and fire authority over some of the most senior and important positions in the United States government.
So I'm dangerous for being loyal to President Trump and pointing out individuals who want to undermine his administration, people who want to be disloyal to him.
People who have lied about him, people who have smeared him, people who have participated in witch hunts against him, people who cheered when he was indicted.
But that's not dangerous for our country.
I'm dangerous.
I am so dangerous for telling the president the truth about these people and their records of infidelity.
But it's not dangerous for them to spy on a president, to create a lie about Russia stealing Our election in 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost.
Why'd she lose?
Well, she was a terrible candidate.
She's a liar.
She's a globalist.
She's a fraud.
She's a con artist.
She's a criminal.
And she was sick, just like Joe Biden.
I mean, Tulsi Gabbard declassified the documents, and now we finally find out that Hillary Clinton was sedated and she was on tranquilizers and she was having like severe psychological impairment and emotional disorders while she was on the campaign trail.
And instead of telling the truth about how Hillary Clinton is a psychopath who struggles with mental illness, they want to demonize President Trump and come up with a fake story about Russia stealing the election and ruin people's lives, destroying people's careers, destroying people's livelihoods over a lie because they don't want to accept the fact that Donald Trump won the election fair and square.
That's not dangerous to these sociopaths, these absolute psychopaths who weaponize their security clearances and weaponize their access to our intel agencies, who weaponize their political power to destroy our country for the last 10 years.
That's not dangerous, but telling the truth is dangerous.
I mean, this is a mental illness.
This is a disorder.
This is a disorder and a disease that infects the minds of so many people in Washington, D.C., that they are going to say that I am dangerous and that I am a problem because I enforce loyalty.
But then these people have no problem with administration officials burrowing themselves.
First of all, why do you even want to work for Trump if you hate Trump?
If you hate Trump and you believe he stole the election in 2016 and you think he's like a poop, a Putin puppet, as they all say, all these crazy terminologies used by the radical left and these rhinos, okay, Trump derangement syndrome is real.
It's a real mental disease.
It's a real disorder.
If you really believe these things, why do you even want to work for Trump?
Isn't that the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and over again?
Why do you want to work for Trump if you hate him?
If you think he's a criminal, if you think he's a felon, if you think he's a rapist, if you think he's all these terrible things that all of his detractors call him, why do you want to work for him?
Aren't I doing you a favor by getting you removed from the administration of the man that you think is a dictator, a man who you think is the worst person you've ever met?
Vinay Prasad said that Donald Trump was the worst person he's ever seen in his life, that his supporters were criminals and that his supporters were like drug addicts and criminals and that he hated him so much that he wanted to stab him like a voodoo doll.
He actually said that.
I believe we have the clip actually.
I believe we actually have the clip.
But I'm a demon.
I'm a demon.
I am so awful.
I am so awful.
I am paid by big pharma.
Oh, wow.
I'm paid by big pharma all of a sudden.
Where's my paycheck?
Where's my paycheck, big pharma?
Come on, pay up.
Where's my money?
Where's my money?
The payment's late.
Apparently, I'm on the payroll, a big pharma.
I'm a big pharma shill now because you're a big pharma shill if you expose the fact that some Indian who says that he wants to stab Trump and put a curse on him like he's some Haitian immigrant doing voodoo.
Okay.
Like he's some Haitian immigrant doing voodoo in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets.
I'm a demon, but this guy's not demonic for saying that he wants to stab Trump to curse him and that he has a little Trump voodoo statue on his desk that he sometimes pricks.
I'm not making this up.
Listen, listen, this is a guy who was working at the FDA.
He was a senior official at the FDA brought in by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
And these are the people working in the Trump administration.
It should shock you to your core.
Go ahead and play the clip.
When there's pandemic, reason takes the backseat to emotion often.
And who can I curse for the pandemic?
I mean, I'm frustrated like a lot of people.
I'm annoyed.
Who do I curse?
And there's no one to really curse.
I mean, I can curse Trump.
I have his little statue.
I stab him.
His little cigarette eye.
Voodoo.
Yeah, voodoo.
I can do that.
I have his little statue and I guess I could curse it.
I'm going to stab you.
Where do they find these weirdos?
Where do they find these people?
Where are they finding these weirdos who are sitting there laughing like psychopaths?
Wow.
I just hate him so much.
Let me stab him with some pins.
These are psychopaths.
These are lunatics.
These are mentally unwell individuals.
These people are crazy.
And then instead of playing this, you're not going to see this clip played on CNN.
You're not going to see this clip played on MSNBC or Fox News.
You're not going to see Politico or ABC News or CBS play this clip.
It's creepy.
He's laughing.
He's laughing like he's some kind of psychopath serial killer talking about doing voodoo.
And he's what, supposedly one of the most esteemed scientists in our country.
Where do they find these people?
You cannot actually convince me that out of the entire United States population and all the talented scientists and medical personnel in our country that this is the best that we can that we can find.
There's a vetting crisis and it needs to be addressed and it needs to be called out.
And if publicly naming and shaming people is the way that it's going to get done and publicly embarrassing people to the point where they are where they are humiliated and publicly fired by Donald Trump, that's what it's going to take to protect this president that I busted my ass trying to support and get elected three times over the last 10 years of my life.
I'm 32 years old, pretty much dedicating my entire 20s as a young woman, okay, to supporting President Trump.
That's what it's going to take.
Okay, we're not, we didn't just work our asses off and have President Trump survive two assassination Attempts so that we could fill his administration with a bunch of Bernie bros and progressive leftists who joke about, or maybe they're not even joking, stabbing Trump voodoo dolls and putting curses on him because, you know, they don't like him.
We're not going to elevate people to the National Security Council who worked with John Brennan and James Clapper and James Comey to spy on Donald Trump.
We're just not going to do it.
We have the article.
Let's get this article up.
Vinay Prasad fired.
Top FDA official leaves job after Laura Loomer attacks.
I mean, the media is so angry.
Bari Weiss, that washed up anti-Trump lesbian.
She was attacking me the other today.
I mean, she didn't even tag me, right?
That's how that's how cowardly these people are.
Bari Weiss, who's a Trump hater, said that disgraceful campaign against a top FDA official.
Here we go.
Top FDA official leaves job after Laura Loomer attacks.
No.
He didn't leave after Laura Loomer attacks.
He left after I exposed him for being a radical leftist who is ideologically unfit to serve in a Trump administration.
Why is this so hard for people to understand?
This is why we never should have brought Democrats into the Trump administration.
I don't know whose idea that was, but it was a horrible idea.
Okay.
Coalition building is always a terrible idea.
Okay.
You say what you have to say, I guess, to get the votes.
I don't know.
That's the excuse, I guess, is getting these people to vote for you.
And then you have to deal with them and their crazy staff and their communist staffers and the people who want to do voodoo experiments on you and all their conflicts of interests.
And oh, they want to, you know, they want to put their wife in a role and they got to put their degenerate drug addict kid in a role.
Oh, and then they got to put their sister in a roll.
And oh, yeah.
And before you know it, you have everybody's family members in the administration and it's just a corrupt cesspool.
It's the same shit that we criticize Joe Biden and his criminal family for doing, right?
I mean, where does it end?
Where does it end with people hiring their friends and putting incompetent losers, okay?
Incompetent losers and communists in the Trump administration.
It's not what I voted for.
It's not what I voted.
I voted for ideological purity tests and an administration that cares about vetting so that we don't have to deal with obstructionists completely derailing Donald Trump and his agenda and causing him to be impeached twice, which is what we had to deal with in the first administration because nobody paid attention to vetting.
The disgraceful campaign against a top FDA official.
Look at the media.
They're so sad.
Oh, the free press.
Can you believe Barry Weiss is actually trying to sell the free press for $250 million?
I saw a story the other day that said that she wants $250 million for this rag, for this publication.
Holy shit.
Is that what these people are getting paid?
$250 million?
I am not getting paid enough money for this.
It's America's loss that Vinay Prasad will not be able to make the changes necessary to restore trust in public health officials.
Oh, yes, because I'm going to have so much trust in a guy who talks about doing voodoo on Donald Trump because he doesn't like him.
Yes, very scientific.
Very scientific.
Very scientific.
I'm sure that I'm sure that voodoo is a very scientific practice.
That just happens to be why the country of Haiti, half the population of Haiti happens to be infected with HIV AIDS.
Yeah, because their voodoo experiments are going so well.
Yeah, it's very scientific.
That's why the people of Haiti are eating sand and infecting each other with HIV AIDS and they're engaged in cannibalism and sending all their illegals here where they're killing our pets.
Yes, voodoo.
Very scientific.
I mean, isn't it just crazy that we're supposed to be ghastlit into thinking that these people are the most brilliant scientific minds?
That's what Kennedy and some of these people at HHS said.
They actually said that Vinay Prasad is one of the most brilliant scientific minds in our country.
How do you square that?
How do you rationalize that?
You're a brilliant scientific mind, but you practice voodoo.
I want to see what the chat thinks about this.
And then we're going to bring our guest on.
We're going to have a conversation about how much money it's costing us as taxpayers to pay for the salaries of these inept losers in our government.
Let's see.
I just, I don't get it.
I really don't understand how you can say that somebody is a brilliant scientific mind when they're literally on video talking about doing voodoo experiments.
You can scroll up.
I want to see what people have to say about this.
We're live right now.
So by the way, if you want to put your comments in the chat, put your comments and your questions in the chat.
Repost the live link on X. Follow me on X. Repost the live link on rumble rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
Before we bring our guests on, let's check the chat.
Let's scroll up.
Let's see if anybody has any questions.
Trump should be paying you to identify these losers, Laura.
Well, look, it's not even about the money for me, right?
I just want to support and protect President Trump from these people who want to derail him.
It's just, it's totally out of control.
Before we continue with our first guest tonight, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
Breaking news.
Laura Loomer has been canceled.
The president of the United States has refused to take her phone calls as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.

Frankly, you know, I hope they throw her away for the rest of her life.
I hope she dies.
She is currently on the run from authorities.
She is described as armed and dangerous.
I just can't believe she's been getting away with it for this.
An angry mob appears to be forming outside the home of journalist Laura Loomer.
What is wrong with you?
Why are you not panicking?
Because I called Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

All right.
Moving on, continuing our coverage of the White House vetting crisis.
We have a nice little stinger, actually.
We made a nice stinger for the White House vetting crisis not too long ago.
It's very nice.
Cannon designed it.
This is such a recurring theme in the Trump administration that we actually made it an official segment of the show.
We made it an official segment of the show.
I thought that this was something that was going to get addressed within, I don't know, the first month, maybe the second month of the Trump administration, that people were actually going to take this seriously and clean house.
But we are now going on eight months of the Trump administration, and this issue appears to only be getting worse.
So before I bring my guests on, let's go ahead and play this nice little stinger that my producer made for Loomer Unleash, my show, the White House vetting crisis, because as I said, I wasn't joking, right?
Several months ago, I said, we're going to have to make an official segment of the show called White House Vetting Crisis if this doesn't get better.
And here we are, right?
Nearly eight months later.
So take a look at the stinger.
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
Canon did a great job making that stinger for me.
So joining me now to discuss the implications on the federal government and the implications on U.S. tax dollars, the price tag of this vetting crisis, and just the overall national security implications and the price tag of what it's costing our country and taxpayers to keep all of these ineffective,
disloyal Obama Biden holdovers and traitors inside the Trump administration where they're doing nothing but obstructing President Trump and his agenda is Robert Romano, the executive director of Americans for Limited Government.
Robert, thank you so much for joining me tonight.
It's a pleasure to have you live on the program.
Oh, he's muted.
You have to unmute yourself.
You appear to be muted.
Just double check in the audio.
Can you hear me okay?
Now I can.
It's all good.
You're not the first person.
You're not the first guest.
You're not the first guest, and you're probably not the last to accidentally mute yourself.
Robert, thanks so much for joining me tonight.
It's a pleasure to have you.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to be here.
I wanted to thank you for everything that you're doing to hold the Trump administration accountable.
You know, not only for personnel, but we want to make certain that we make America great again.
I think that 77 million Americans invested a lot in the 2024 election and they were willing to give President Trump another chance.
And boy, is it paying off?
I'm really impressed with what we're seeing, you know, from the trade deals and putting America first on foreign policy and one big beautiful bill.
There's so many good things happening, even with slim majorities in Congress.
I think so much has been done.
But it is very frustrating to see what is going on in the federal administration right now.
I think that, you know, we're seeing these disclosures now from DNI Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that are showing with these classifications, thanks to President Trump's reelection, that, you know, the federal government has had it in for President Trump before he even got elected with the intelligence scandals,
with the Hillary Clinton campaign colluding with the intelligence agencies and the Justice Department to put the steel dossier into the intelligence community assessment of 2017 into the FISA warrant of 2016 of October with this investigation beginning in really March of 2016 when they tried to tie Trump to Russia all the way back to George Papadopoulos,
But again, with Carter Page and with the July 2016 Clinton intelligence plan assessment we just saw with the Durham annex that just got released.
All of this is unbelievable, but totally well within our, you know, we can believe it because this is not fiction.
This is the reality of what they've been doing to President Trump.
And you have more than 2.9 million, 2.3 million if you take out the, you know, the post school service.
There's another 2 million, 2.1 million who are in the armed services and about 700,000 in the reserves.
But focusing on the civilian employees who work at these, you know, many of these agencies that are going at President Trump, I think that, you know, they make a lot of money.
You wanted to know how much money they're making?
$271 billion as of fiscal year 2022, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
That includes benefits, wages, health insurance, pensions.
That's how much it's rolling out.
The thrift savings plan, that just topped off at about $1 trillion.
So $271 billion.
That's the cost of all of the, that's not including the military, though.
We're not including the armed services in that budget.
That's just the federal employees who work in Washington, D.C. And they, you know, they clock in and they clock out on taxpayer dime, the nine-to-fivers.
That's just what we're paying these nine to fivers in Washington, D.C. to work is $271 billion a year.
Yeah, and on the military side, just so we're clear, $551 billion, $230 billion for DOD, $321 billion for veterans affairs.
But focusing on that $271 billion, you have about $100,000 average salary.
But if you go to the median, about $50,000 to $100,000, if you go to the top paid employees in the selected service, I think it goes up to about $180,000 or so.
So you have a lot of money that goes out to federal employees, but not all of them are loyal, as you are noting, to President Trump.
And even if you're a former employee, we've saw this situation with security clearances, working for federal contractors.
Even if you are in the Biden administration, you can come out, but still retain your security clearance and still have something to do with sensitive national security matters.
And I recently did an op-ed where we were talking about what to do with the people who were signing the 2019 impeachment letter.
More than 300 former national security and other department and agency officials were calling for President Trump to be impeached.
Yeah, we have the tweet I posted about this too.
You recently wrote an op-ed about it.
And so let's go ahead and get my tweet up so people can see what we're talking about.
This is a tweet that I posted the other day.
Again, a continuation of the White House vetting crisis.
We're getting it pulled up here on the screen.
Dozens of anti-Trump officials from the CIA and NSC who signed a 2019 national security letter condemning President Trump, which accused him of being a national security threat, still have their security clearances.
And some of these people still work in the second Trump administration as federal employees and or government contractors.
So what's interesting is that, you know, we have two issues here.
We have the vetting crisis as it relates to people who are being hired to fill these positions in the federal government.
You have holdovers, you have Biden holdovers, Obama holdovers, you have careerists who are really not effective or they themselves have been compromised and participated in anti-Trump activities, but they've been able to get away with it because they're considered a career government employee.
I don't really understand how being there for a long period of time should shield you from unethical behavior or disloyal or subversive activity or behavior, but here we are.
I mean, there's an excuse for everything, I guess, in Washington, D.C. But what's another phenomenon that doesn't really get as much attention are the hundreds of people who have, I mean, thousands, really, but in terms of people that are outside of the administration right now, I guess it's probably thousands as well, but these are individuals who we've identified at least who have gone public, right?
There's a lot of people who probably have security clearances who have privately engaged in anti-Trump activities and they haven't been caught yet.
But we have evidence of dozens of individuals who signed this letter.
We can show the letter on the screen here.
From September 27, 2019 to statements from national security professionals.
As national security professionals, many of us have long been concerned with President Trump's actions and their implications for our safety and security.
Some of us have spoken out.
I'm just going to read the letter in full so that people can hear how horrible this is.
It's just unbelievable.
But many of us have eschewed politics throughout our careers and as a result, have not weighed in publicly.
The revelations of recent days, however, demand a response.
Specifically, all of us recognize the imperative of formal impeachment proceedings to ascertain additional facts and weigh the consequences of what we have learned and what may yet still emerge.
We applaud those members of Congress, including Speaker Pelosi, who have now started us down that necessary path.
The letter continues.
Third paragraph.
President Trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes.
That would constitute an unconscionable abuse of power, and it would represent an effort to subordinate America's national interests and those of our closest allies and partners to the president's personal political interest.
Having worked across administrations of both parties to uphold and advance those national interests, we consider the president's actions to be a profound national security concern.
Our relations with the rest of the world and our policies on the global stage must be based solely on what is in the national interest.
The introduction of any other considerations of the president debases our democracy, has the potential to make us more vulnerable to threats, and sends a message to leaders around the world that America's foreign policy can be dangerously corrupted by catering to a single individual.
If we fail to speak up and act now, our foreign policy and national security will officially be an offer to those who can most effectively fulfill the president's personal prerogatives.
To be clear, we do not wish to prejudge the totality of the facts or Congress's deliberative process.
Yes, they do.
That's why they wrote this letter.
At the same time, there's no escaping.
What we already know is serious enough to merit impeachment proceedings.
Okay.
From there, the facts and nothing but the facts should dictate how Congress holds the president to account and signals to the world that our foreign policy and national security are not for sale.
So, again, scroll up and you'll see those of you watching right now, September 27th, 2019.
That was when President Trump was president.
So, not only are these officials, some of these individuals are the same individuals who are on the 51 Spies Who Lied letter, who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
Okay, there's about 300 names on this letter.
51 of those individuals already had their security clearances revoked when President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearance of the 51 spies who lied.
So, that was a good start.
However, it didn't just end there.
And the Trump administration should have been more aggressive and they should have been paying more attention to the other letters that were written throughout the Trump administration.
I don't even think most people are aware of this letter.
Most people are, some people are aware of the Hunter Biden letter, but a lot of people are not even aware that this letter was written by national security professionals, Trump administration officials, and these people weren't fired.
Can you believe it?
They literally undermined the commander-in-chief while they were working inside the Trump administration in 2019.
They were working for the Trump administration and they did not get fired.
So, not only, okay, like 2019, 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
Okay, like, are people understanding the gravity of the situation?
For the last, let me just, Laura, let me help you out here.
A lot of the officials on that particular letter were particularly former officials, but who retained the state of the country?
But a lot of these people were working for President Trump, is what I'm saying, is that even though they signed this letter, there were people who signed this letter who were former officials, but a lot of the people who signed this letter were still working in the administration.
And for years now, okay?
For years, they've been able to escape accountability and they've been able to make a lot of money with their security clearances as government contractors through the continuation of the Trump administration until the stolen election and January of 2021.
And now they've continued.
Some of these individuals are actually working inside the Trump administration.
Okay.
So six years later, these people who should be on a blacklist permanently, a conservative employment blacklist, if we're being honest, okay, they should never be allowed to work for any America First or any pro-Trump political movement ever again.
Some of these people are actually not still holding on to their security clearances where they're working as government contractors and making a lot of money.
But some of these people, at least about seven of the individuals who are on this list, who still remain and haven't been stripped of their clearances, still work inside the Trump administration in some capacity.
Has to be addressed.
I think that not only this letter is a perfect example, but anyone who wants to work for the Trump administration, they should want to be there.
They should want to help make America great again.
They should want to help the president accomplish his goals.
When you have career civil servants, going back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, you have a merit system.
It's really, really hard to fire people.
In 2017, they passed the VA reform to make it easier to fire people into VA because of some horrendous abuses that were occurring to our nation's veterans that needed to be addressed.
Senator Marco Rubio at the time led that effort and got it.
We got it signed into law.
It made it a lot easier.
We need the Merit Act.
Barry Lavermilk has had legislation, the Merit Act, that would allow for firings across the federal government to make it a lot easier.
Culturally, there's a lot of problems, I think, for Republicans who maybe shy away from government service.
We also see this at the state level working for, you know, as teachers, things like that.
In the federal civil service or just civil service in general, some surveys show about a two-to-one advantage for Democrats.
So when you have a pool of people who are two-to-one going to favor one party rule or one party, they'll do fine when they're working for the Democrats, but they're not going to help a Republican administration like President Trump get his job done to, again, make America great again.
And when it comes to national security, this particular letter calling for impeachment was undermining the president's Article II responsibility and duty to hold our foreign allies or adversaries or just parties that we're dealing with like Ukraine accountable.
And President Trump was attempting to potentially utilize weapons sales or weapons to Ukraine as leverage.
He's using it right now.
Hey, Ukraine, you want weapons?
Come to the table.
Let's discuss peace.
Russia, you don't want weapons going to Ukraine?
Well, you better come to the table.
Let's talk peace.
That's what President Trump was trying to do in 2019 when the Mueller investigation was ending.
And it was these national security professionals, the intelligence community.
It's all Russia Gate, really.
But it was undermining our Article II presidency going all the way back to, you know, the 1787, the Constitution, but George Washington, the proclamation of neutrality.
He told France to go pound sand when they wanted to go wage war all across Europe.
He tore up a treaty.
That goes way back to the Washington administration.
If George Washington can tear up a treaty with France, well, then Donald Trump can tell Ukraine, hey, hold up on those weapons.
Let's talk about this.
Let's discuss what we're doing with those weapons.
What is the state of the war?
What happens?
The war began in 2014.
I think RussiaGate was meant to push Trump.
into taking a more aggressive posture there.
And then they used that as an example for Joe Biden to make sure that he would do the same exact thing.
I think Russia Gate was an act of war against the American people, against our Constitution.
Unfortunately, a lot of people have not been held accountable.
There's criminal referrals now being undertaken.
The least we can do is take these activists out of security clearances, out of government, if they're still there, whoever happens to still be there.
Or I need your help.
I know that you have done great work on this.
That list right there, how many of them are still in the government?
I wrote this op-ed a few months ago.
I don't know how many of them are still in government.
Let's get your op-ed up on the screen.
Let's get it up on the screen.
Let's get the op-ed up on the screen here and we'll show everybody this op-ed.
Because, again, this has been known for a while now.
And we have to be aggressive.
You know, like there's there's a there's a sense of decorum and and some people always say Robert, they'll say things like, why do you have to go public with this?
If you have access to the president, why can't you just be private?
Why can't you just like quietly take this to the administration?
And I say to them, you don't even, you don't even understand what you're talking about.
This stuff has been brought to the attention of the administration for months now, right?
Like they, they know who has a security clearance.
They're not stupid.
They know who participated in Russia Gate.
They know who participated in the stolen election of 2020.
They know who the propagandists are.
They know who fabricated intel reports to demonize President Trump and to illegally spy on his campaign.
They know, right?
They know who is compromised.
They know.
They know who the bad actors at State Department are.
They know who participated in the Iranian spiring.
I mean, we could go scandal after scandal after scandal from the Obama administration to the Trump administration.
And when I say the Trump administration, I'm talking about the scandals that were uncovered, right?
The coup, crossfire hurricane, all of these obstructionist efforts to attack President Trump, the impeachment, the impeachment hearings, all of the foreign setups and the use of foreign intel operatives to try to set the Trump administration up and impeach the president, force him out of the White House.
We could go scandal after scandal and identify individuals who still have security clearances who participated and aided in those treasonous acts.
And, you know, you said something, you said the least that we could do if George Washington could rip up a treaty is strip people of their clearances.
We need to start having a conversation in this country again about the punishment for treason because people will say things like, oh, you know, you're such an extremist or you're advocating for political violence.
But why is it that it's so taboo to remind people that the punishment for treason in our country is death?
I want to get your take on this.
I mean, why, you obviously are very well versed in history.
This is U.S. law.
I mean, this is on the books.
Why is it so taboo to remind people that the punishment for treason in the United States of America is death?
It is federal law.
And under Article 3, Section 3, treason is levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to Karen.
And I think that, again, Russia gave was an act of war.
I think the dilemma constitutionally, and the president has spoken to this, stating that, you know, you should thank me, former President Obama, because of the immunity case.
Well, that was not just an immunity case.
That has to do with the president's official acts while in office.
And so people talk about Barack.
Isn't that so funny?
I'll let you continue in a second, but isn't it hilarious how they love to say presidential immunity isn't, it's not an excuse.
It's not an adequate defense for President Trump.
We need to jail President Trump.
Remember during the presidential election, how they constantly said, oh, presidential immunity isn't a proper defense.
It's not a proper defense.
Oh, President Trump is a good idea.
It's really a proper defense.
President Trump is guilty of an insurrection.
He needs to go to jail.
Let's take him off the ballot.
Let's sue the Insurrection Act, the Insurrection Clause.
Oh, we're going to cite this Civil War era clause, and we're going to accuse Donald Trump of not being protected by presidential immunity.
It's so crazy how much we were gaslit during the 2024 presidential election as it related to presidential immunity.
And now we're being told, oh, well, Obama has presidential immunity.
It's just, it's so, it's so funny, isn't it, how, how duplicitous these people are and just how disingenuous and dishonest they are.
And I called this.
I said, how long before we start hearing the Democrats say that Obama is protected by presidential immunity?
I tend to agree.
Unfortunately, RussiaGate was an act of war against the American people, in my opinion.
And the president at the time, Obama, has war-making power.
And so can the president commit treason if treason is levying war?
I have to puzzle over that.
I don't think he can.
But these officials who were testifying to Congress that they weren't using the steel dossier in the intelligence community assessment and they were lying, that they didn't use it in the FISA warrant, but they did, and they were lying, that they were using it the entire time, that they weren't communicating with the Clinton campaign at the time, but they were lying.
If you did that to Congress, and there's hundreds of pages of testimony of people going to Congress saying, oh, well, it was salacious and unverified.
Well, then why did you use it?
Why did you put it in the FISA warrant?
Justice Department, James Comey, why'd you put it in there?
There's a lot of misleading going on.
Maybe in these public sessions, they don't tell you the same thing that's in these private sessions, these classified sessions before the House Intelligence Committee or something like that.
Maybe we need to declassify those sessions in front of Congress and say, well, what was James Comey saying behind closed doors?
What was John Brennan saying behind closed doors?
Maybe we have a right to see what those things were.
So there was definitely, I think, probably actionable perjury charges, not against Barack Obama.
He wasn't testifying to Congress, but against his subordinates, who at the time were vouching for the steele dossier.
They put the president in either a pretty bad position, either Obama knew it was fake and he used it anyways, or he was convinced that it was real.
Now, there are certain parts of the intelligence community assessment that have not been discounted.
For example, Russia hacked the DNC and put Desta emails and helped put them on WikiLeaks.
That finding to date has not yet been overturned, but it does turn up in the Clinton intelligence plan in the Durham annex that we just saw released today.
I think this is all highly relevant.
We need more investigation.
We have to go into this.
And anyone who was lying to Congress, I think that Steve Banning could tell us that maybe that process crimes in front of Congress.
Well, what's good for the goose is good for DeGander.
They can go after those officials for lying to Congress if they did, particularly about the steele dossier.
But President Obama, former President Obama, I think that there are war-making powers that the president has.
And if Trump hit the wrong target in a bombing or something like that, I don't think that that would be a criminal offense or any precedent for that matter.
So we do have a constitution as well that must be upheld.
And so I think that the powers of the presidency, I think, are going to be very clearly determined in this context as we explore what does Barack Obama know and when did he know it?
Absolutely.
What is your prediction of what's going to happen?
Do you actually think that under the Trump administration, we're going to see these individuals who've committed these crimes, who have engaged in treason, be criminally prosecuted?
Do you think that they're going to face charges?
Do you think that we're actually going to see anybody go to jail or is it just a bunch of red meat?
I can't help but I can't help but be annoyed by the fact that the Republicans are on a recess right now.
I mean, we just had Tulsi Gabber declassify these documents and instead of staying behind to confirm all of President Trump's nominees, right?
The hundreds of nominees who are still outstanding awaiting their Senate confirmations, they go on vacation for an entire month.
They're gone for like six weeks.
And this is something that the American people have been ghastling over for the last eight years.
We've been told that, oh, you know, Russia stole the election for Donald Trump.
President Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin.
I mean, every single talking point has been shoved down our throats to the point where it actually incited real acts of political violence.
It tore our country apart.
It was a form of mass psychosis.
People were completely deranged and consumed by this belief that Russia had actually interfered in our election.
Every single night of the first Trump administration, it doesn't matter how many wins President Trump had or all the good he did.
Every single night on CNN and MSNBC was Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
So I want to know, do you think anyone's actually going to going to go to jail?
We saw President Trump post on True Social the other day this image.
I tweeted it.
It said that they had committed treason and it was time to lock them up.
But look, he also said, lock her up, right?
He entertained chance of lock her up throughout his entire campaign.
And then when he got in the first term, he said, oh, you know, I'm not going to actually put the wife of a former president, you know, the former first lady in prison.
That would be so horrible for our country.
And I just, I know how much of a forgiving person Donald Trump is, knowing him on a personal level.
I know how gracious he is.
And he's actually a lot kinder than people give him credit for.
And he's a lot more forgiving than people give him credit for.
So I'm just so worried that he's, you know, that there's not going to be any follow-through.
I really do worry because he's just such a nice guy.
People don't see it, but he really is.
He's such a nice guy.
And I kind of want him to be vicious.
You know, I kind of want to see him just be so vicious.
And it's not even vicious because it's law and order.
These people committed a crime.
I want to see them go to jail.
Is it going to happen?
Well, Pan Bondi, as the attorney general, is basically the right hand.
And she's going to make that determination.
I believe in consultation with everyone at the Justice Department.
President Trump, I believe, has some input into that.
If he's the chief executive, he can say, we need charges.
Something has to be done here.
We need to go at the people who were responsible for defrauding the American people and lying to them, for making everyone believe that President Trump was a Manchurian candidate, that he was a Russian agent.
Think of all these civil servants officials from the letter we just looked at.
How many of them actually bought this hook, line, and sinker?
Thought they were doing their civic patriotic duty.
How many people were brainwashed with it?
I think that there needs to be accountability.
The question becomes then, if we pursue justice, it can lead to reciprocity.
It can lead to reprisal.
It can lead to escalation.
On the other hand, inaction, that can lead to tyranny.
That could just be like, oh, well, they can do it to us again and they'll do it forever.
They'll never stop doing it.
Russia gate is a predicate for much tyranny if it is not addressed.
So do we risk reprisal in order to avert tyranny?
I think we must risk reprisal.
There has to be something done to create such a deterrent that nobody ever dares think about doing this to a U.S. election again.
But Russian interference?
What about FBI interference?
What about CIA interference?
I don't know what the NSA had to do with this, but just intelligence agency, Justice Department influence on the elections, and then thereafter trying to undermine the elected president after he was in office.
We had to FISA warrant against the opposition party in an election year.
It's unconscionable, unthinkable.
Except maybe it's, I don't know, standard operating procedure.
Maybe they spy on congressional campaigns all the time.
Maybe they vet all the presidential campaigns.
Maybe what was done to Donald Trump happens to all the campaigns.
I don't know what the truth is of that because I can't see behind closed doors.
I don't know how bad this is and how far it goes, but it should never, ever happen again.
President Trump, I believe, you know, he ran his, you know, kind of on a peace platform, and I believe that's why he was targeted.
I think that he wanted to, you know, make the world a better place and keep America out of wars.
We've had these wars go on for 20 years in the Middle East following 9-11.
You know, what was the outcome?
You know, Trump does a targeted strike into Iran.
It's going to be one and done.
He wants to get on back to the, you know, keeping America great and keeping us out of these forever wars.
If we have to act out of our national security, of course, the president has to maintain the credible use of force.
So when it's in our interest to pursue peace, I believe he needs that latitude from the administration not to undermine, not to undercut, not to push for impeachment.
Those people should be gone.
They should all be fired if there's any of them left.
Anyone who had anything to do with Russia Gate, they should all be gone to.
We're running a petition on this.
I hope everyone will sign it.
You can check out getliberty.org.
You can click on the button that says uproot the deep state.
And then you can tell President Trump and Marco Rubio, get rid of these people.
You're fired.
Get the hell out of here.
That's what Trump would say.
Well, I know for a fact that Marco Rubio and President Trump both have a list of these individuals.
The Trump administration has a list of these individuals.
So we'll see what happens.
You know, nobody can say that they're not aware of these individuals because you have the names, right?
I've published the names.
I've delivered the names.
We've done our duty, Laura.
But, you know, the president.
We have done our duty.
We have done our duty.
And so I'm just putting it out there on the record that if any of these individuals' names pop up in the future as antagonists or provocateurs or disruptors, just know that the White House has been given their names.
The White House has been given the names and a copy of this letter.
Every single name on this.
Sign it.
They were every single name.
What was that?
They were proud to sign it.
They were proud to sign it.
Yes, this is page.
And, you know, look, it's a long letter.
I mean, we could go through this now.
It's like 14 pages long.
Okay.
Every single page, page one.
And I published this on X. People can see it.
They can see the tweet themselves if they want to see the letter and you can look into these people, right?
Number two.
Okay.
Here's letter one.
Here's the front page.
Number one.
Just to show everybody how long this is, right?
Two.
They wanted to be political activists.
They wanted to, you know, call for impeachment because Donald Trump had a conversation with Vladimir Zelensky about weapons, about the server, about anything he wanted to talk about and to have a conversation with.
I think that's appropriate.
The president has the Article II power to conduct foreign affairs.
No other person in our country under the Constitution has that power.
It is the president.
It starts there and stops there.
Nine.
I mean, literally, you could just keep on talking.
Ten.
Well, all I'm saying is any one of them that's left with security clearances, President Trump did the right thing.
He got rid of the 51 intelligence officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter that falsely claimed that it was Russian disinformation.
The laptop was real.
Those people shouldn't have anything to do with national security affairs.
The people who signed this letter, nothing to do with national security affairs.
Not why Donald Trump's in office.
If Kamala Harris gets elected again or something, she can put them back into the security clearance.
I don't care.
That's the president's prerogative.
Right now, the president has the prerogative not to have anything to do with these people.
Never again must mean never again.
And there has to be a consequence for undercutting the chief executive of our country under the Constitution who 77 million people voted for him.
There has to be a consequence, but not just for the security officials.
There also has to be a consequence for the people who work for President Trump who get this information and then don't act on it.
It's one thing to claim that you're ignorant of the information and you don't know the information.
What do you think the punishment should be for the people who work for President Trump who are made aware of this information, but they choose not to act on it?
Because I think that that is just as severe of a crime as undermining the chief executive, undermining the commander-in-chief, disobeying commands, disobeying orders, hiding evidence from him, keeping information from him.
So not only do we have an issue with people subverting and somehow getting past this, you know, this amazing vetting process, I've heard that it's the best vetting process ever, Robert, the best vetting process ever at the White House that they've implemented over there.
It's the toughest vetting process to pass, according to what the White House says.
Obviously, I'm rolling my eyes right now.
But what is the punishment for people who deliberately hide this information from the president?
Because this has been out there now and it's been addressed.
But when is it going to be acted upon, right?
It's not enough for us to simply do the work and inform the Trump administration of this.
There's a persistent rut within the administration that continues to grow.
It's like a cancer and it's spreading.
That's caused by Trump administration officials being aware of information, but choosing to gatekeep information from Donald Trump.
The gatekeeping is out of control.
And it's having massive national security implications because you bring this information to light, you give it to Trump's team, you give it to his advisors, and it seems like the only way to get action on it is what if I literally print it out myself and I'm in a room with Donald Trump, you know?
I mean, I hate to say it, but that's why the media is so crazy.
But why does it take somebody on the outside presenting this information to the president?
Why are his staff not giving him this information?
I think that, you know, particularly with the way the Epstein matter has been handled, particularly with the disclosures we're now seeing out of Russia Gate, a full-scale kind of re-examination, if you will, not only of the administration, but of the federal government in general.
Like, who is here who wants to be helpful?
They should be more open about we've got problems that we need to, that need to be addressed within the administration.
The president is going to ultimately, you know, be held accountable for how this goes down.
If he wants to have a cabinet or people in the National Security Council, you know, in 2017, we called for the National Security Council to be disbanded.
We called for former presidents to no longer get security briefings back in 2017 because we saw what was going on at the time during Russia Gate.
We were terrified of it.
We couldn't believe what we were seeing, but it could only be that the people who were surrounding the president were not, you know, not being loyal to the president, being loyal to the Constitution, the fact that he was elected, that he was duly elected, that he had a right to be there.
He had the power to be there.
He had the duty to be there.
He was elected to be there.
The government by the people for the people of the people.
That's what we're supposed to have.
And if we don't have that right now, then it must be addressed.
Pam Bondi, please address it.
Cash Patel, please address it.
Dan Bon Gino, please address it.
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, please address it because we don't have another opportunity at this.
You can't assume we're going to win 2028.
We're going to win every election.
We're going to win the midterms.
We can't win everything all the time.
Republicans are likely to lose the House in the midterm.
They might lose the Senate too if they can't keep their base together.
Now, there's a lot of good things going on with the economy.
Inflation's cooling down.
A lot of good things are happening right now.
The one big beautiful bill is going to turn things around.
I believe economically, immigration, the best border security in American history, in my opinion.
They've gotten it down to zero.
And now there's a lot of great things going on right now.
And we would hate to see it undermined by people who are not loyal to the presidency.
I think that's really the question there.
If there's anyone left who had anything to do with Russia Gate, just get rid of them.
If they had anything to do with the impeachment, get rid of them.
They shouldn't be there.
They can come back later when a Democrat's in there.
Democrat president can do whatever they want in that regard.
It's crazy, though.
It's crazy.
There's so many.
I agree with everything you just said.
There's so many people, though, who are tied to Russia Gate who are still within the administration.
You have, I mean, we can go through this.
We have a lot of tweets, a lot of examples of people who I've exposed over the last couple weeks.
You have a guy named Tom Rackisson.
You have a guy named Tom Rackison who is currently a senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
I believe we have my tweet.
We could pull this tweet up.
And he was the director of operations for John Brennan.
He's the guy who literally called for.
Oh, I think you've muted yourself.
He's the guy.
He's the guy.
You're back.
He's the guy who called for the original meeting after the stolen, well, they said the stolen election of 2016, okay?
To say that Russia just stole our election.
We have to make sure it never happens again.
I have my tweet.
We could actually pull this up.
Tom Rackisson, I know I never didn't pin this one for my producer, but this guy, Tom Rackisson, let me get the tweet pulled up right now and we'll pull it up so everybody can see this because I don't think I talked about this on last week's episode of Lemur Unleashed, but it's totally insane.
Let me pull this up.
Everybody can see the screenshots for themselves.
But you have to ask yourself, how is a guy like this in the position of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense?
How is a guy that was the Director of Operations for John Brennan in that kind of role?
Yeah, he thinks that the Russia hack that the DNC and Podesta put up on WikiLeaks was an act of war.
It was the digital Pearl Harbor.
That's what Democrats were saying thereafter.
And that, yeah, the Russians stole the election for Donald Trump.
If he doesn't think Donald Trump is a legitimate president, you know, when did he say that, though?
What was that like in 2017?
This was right after the election.
I'm pulling it up right now.
I have, there's two, actually, because I want to go over Adam Jones and then I want to go over Tom Rackisson too.
Let us see.
In any event, you know, people who were in government, who believed that lie, like, I don't know, like, do they need re-education or something?
What do you do?
People were brainwashed.
It wasn't just the government officials.
It was an entire nation, at least an entire political party.
Only Donald Trump was able to fend it off rather admirably, in my opinion.
I think that President Trump did a fantastic job fending off Russia Gate.
The Mueller investigation, which actually exonerated Trump, actually debunked the steeled SCA and all the allegations that there was any conspiracy with Russia.
And he got through it all.
And somehow we still have a country right now by a thread.
I don't know.
Like the Constitution is hanging by a thread.
If this can happen to any president in the future, I think that, no, we need what Tulsi Gabbard is disclosing, what John Ratcliffe is exposing, what Donald Trump is exposing, Drudy's declassifications.
It's too much of an, not merely an eyesore, it's a gaping wound in the Constitution that must be repaired.
And there has to be some justice.
I don't know if the former president can go to jail for this.
I don't know if he needs to.
I just know that there needs to be a deterrent so that this never happens again.
We have FISA coming up again in 2026.
Let Jim Jordan write the bill.
Let Jim Jordan write the bill that's going to fix this and make sure this never happens again, or at least try to.
We had a church committee.
We've had all these church committees again.
We've had all these weaponization committees again.
They know what they need to do and now they just got to find it.
They got to do what is right and they have to do what is just and what they were elected to do.
And I, you know, I believe in them.
I believe in President Trump.
I think he's going to do the right thing here.
And we might not see it immediately, but I think justice is coming.
I hope so.
I found the tweet.
Here it is.
We're going to get it up on the screen because people have to see it themselves to believe it.
It's just so crazy.
So you were saying that everybody tied to RussiaGate should be purged.
Okay.
But it just, here's an example of how people tied to Russia Gate are still, you know, getting elevated to senior roles within the Trump administration.
So you can scroll up, go to the original tweet, the one that is the first tweet, the exclusive.
Yes, right.
Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan's Director of Operations, Tom Rakusin, is currently working at the Department of Defense under the Trump administration as a senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.
In another example of a shocking vetting failure that threatens to undermine the Trump administration, Tom Rakusin, a former CIA official who worked for the CIA as John Brennan's director of operations when Brennan was working with Obama, James Clapper, and James Comey to fabricate the intelligence surrounding the Russia collusion hoax to stage a coup against President Trump, is now somehow working under the second Trump administration in a senior role at DOD.
Following the 2016 presidential election, Rakusin was also the point man at the CIA in charge of running covert operations on Russia after what he and his colleagues, including Brennan, referred to as the stolen 2016 election by Russia.
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
You can't make this up.
Essentially, as director of operations at the CIA while Brennan was CIA director, Rakusin was an equal player in the Russia collusion hoax that his boss, John Brennan, fabricated evidence for to stage a coup against Trump and to create chaos in our country for eight years.
Additionally, according to a new book about the CIA by Tim Weiner called The Mission, which was just published this month, like literally two weeks ago, Tom Rackusin is mentioned in the book as playing a pivotal role in the CIA's Russian influence operation following President Trump's 2016 presidential election victory.
In the book, Weiner describes how after the Democrats claimed Russian intelligence began releasing hacked Democrat National Committee emails, as you were referencing earlier, dealing a devastating blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign, Rakusin allegedly called an emergency meeting at the CIA with his colleagues and said, quote, the Russians stole our effing election.
How do we make sure this never happens again?
Weiner recalls CIA head Tom Rackuson demanding of his staff.
So this is the guy who really honestly set off Russia, the Russia collusion hoax.
Let's go back to the tweet and continue and then you can see the screenshots.
Ironically, this section of Weiner's book is now being used to promote his new book about the CIA, which was published last week.
And, you know, it's like the cover of his ex-profile.
My discovery that Rakusin is now working at the DOD under the second Trump admin comes this week after DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard urged the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute Barack Hussein Obama and former administration officials, including John Kerry,
John Brennan, Susan Rice, and Andrew McCabe for fabricating Russian interference claims to support the Trump-Russia collusion narrative despite warnings from multiple intelligence agencies, including Obama's, including in Obama's December 16th, December 8th, 2016 presidential brief that Russia did not influence the election.
So they admitted, and we saw this in the declassified documents, that Russia did not steal the election in 2016.
And yet this guy, Rakusin, is the guy who fabricated this within the CIA to call for an emergency meeting to say the Russians just stole our effing election.
How do we make sure this never happens again?
Now, open up that tweet one last time.
We're going to show the screenshots.
You can pull up the LinkedIn.
Okay.
Department of Defense, senior advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, May 2025 to present, right?
Unbelievable.
He's just hired.
Next.
Scroll through.
Mr. Rakusin completed 39 years of service with the CIA.
His senior assignments during his tenure included Deputy Director for Operations, right, under John Brennan.
Here's a screenshot from the book.
The CIA embarked on a delicate balancing act working to neutralize the very force that worked to put their new commander in chief in office, Tom Rakuson, then the newly installed chief of the clandestine service called a meeting of senior officials.
He told them in so many words, the Russians stole our effing election.
How do we make sure this never happens again?
Literally, it says he was one of the key guys made to stop the force that elected Trump, basically to undermine the will of the American people.
I think that you're nailing it here.
This is just one example.
How many more examples are there of officials who were participating in Russiagate, were participating in the impeachment, or both?
I think that, you know, really it's the same scandal since both are invoking the impeachment.
You're right.
This is one example.
And he's working as a senior advisor to the deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg, right underneath Pete Hegseth.
This is a very serious position.
And you are given access to very sensitive, classified information when you work that closely with the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
And why would we want one of John Brennan's spies having access to that kind of information under the current Trump administration when he could potentially leak it to his buddy John Brennan And everybody who he participated in the Russia collusion hoax with.
You don't want that.
I think that the president has to really take a further accounting, you know, down the, you know, not just the secretaries, but not just the deputy secretaries on down the line who's working on staff.
It has to happen.
And, you know, with the Democratic representation in the civil service in general that we see, it's something on the order of two to one in favor, you know, Democrats are participating in government.
This is something that needs to be dealt with immediately at the national security level, but even more broadly, as we go out across all the departments and agencies.
Republicans can't allow their institutions to be dominated that are shared by Republicans and Democrats.
We have to have parity.
Can we get parity?
Like, we don't need one-party Republican rule either.
We just need more representation, quite honestly, in these institutions.
More people need to be teachers.
More people need to be bureaucrats.
Like, this is the end result of not participating.
Andrew Breitbart used to talk about this, about, you know, and you go into medians, like, you know, like whatever, six to one or nine to one.
In universities, it's like 10 to 1 underrepresentation for Republicans and conservatives because they choose not to participate in institutions that they feel are either oppressing them or don't represent them or don't reflect their values.
We have to get over it and we have to go in there.
Unfortunately, it's going to suck.
It really, really sucks to have to do this job, Laura.
You know, this isn't like some, you know, it's a privilege to be here.
Thank you to speak to your audience.
I hope everyone's listening.
But it's tough work.
It's tough work.
It's not easy work.
It takes a lot of time.
It's a lot of research.
And it's a very ungrateful position in the sense that there's not a lot of gratitude and appreciation for this type of grunt work.
Yeah, it's thankless.
And, you know, I've been doing this at Americans for Limited Government for 17 years.
Rick Manning, he finally went back into the administration.
He's the former president of Americans for Limited Government.
Some of your viewers might remember seeing him on this particular program.
Hello, Rick, if you're watching.
He's over at the Labor Department now.
Not everyone, I think, in the Trump administration is loyal.
They should be there.
They're political appointees.
You have career officials.
You have political appointees that maybe shouldn't be political appointees.
I think that everyone who had anything to do with Russia Gates shouldn't be there.
The impeachment shouldn't be there.
Certainly not the 51 intelligence officials who had their security clearances revoked.
They shouldn't be there handling that sensitive national security matters on behalf of President Trump and his administration.
I think that's not too much to ask.
People want to see more.
They want to see prosecutions.
They want to see criminal referrals and that sort of thing.
The best we can do at this point, staff the administration, let Pambondi figure out what's actually actionable in terms of the Justice Department and the FBI as they conduct those investigations.
Dan Bongino keeps on saying that you can't see everything that's going on right now.
So I do think we need to have a little patience for whatever they're working on.
Not every thing that we think was a crime, we can prove was a crime in front of a jury.
Not every case that you want to bring is something that you would put before either a grand jury or just go to try to bring a prosecution.
I don't know the details.
I can't speak to those matters because people want to see something happen though.
And there's enough crimes here against the Constitution, against the American people, against the election.
The true interference in 2016 was not, I mean, Russia hacked the DNC and put emails onto WikiLeaks.
Well, then what the FBI did and what the Justice Department did and what the intelligence agencies did was really 10 times worse.
And they carried on that investigation for 17, 18, 19, halfway into 2019.
And then finally, President Trump gets to conduct foreign policy.
I don't think so.
This must never, ever happen again.
And I think that taking account of the administration is step number one.
Justice would be step number two.
And then we're going to, you know, these disclosures.
Thank you, Tulsi Gabbard.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, Ratcliffe and Pambondi, everyone who's signing off on these declassifications.
They are essential to ensuring that we can restore the Article II presidency so that President Trump and all future presidents, Republican or Democrat alike, never must withstand a coup from within.
This administrative state must die.
They don't deserve what they have if they're able to undermine our elections and our politics in this manner.
It must never happen.
Absolutely.
In closing, Robert, I know you said that you have a call to action, a petition on your website.
Where do people go if they want to sign the petition?org, and there's a little button that will say uproot the deep state.
And then you can send a letter to President Trump and say to take action against these officials.
If any of them are left who signed this letter calling for impeachment, and frankly, anyone else, if it'll let you modify the letter, if it won't let you modify the letter, I'll jump into voter voice there.
Make sure that you can add a sentence to that letter.
If not, just send the letter.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks for showing that.
Urge President Trump and uproot the deep state.
It has to happen.
We don't have another chance at this.
Don't assume you're going to win the midterms.
Don't assume you're going to win 2028.
Act now, Mr. President.
Now is the time to act.
Absolutely.
And just your audio popped for a second there.
Just the website one last time so people can get it.
Getliberty.org.
Get liberty.org.
Wonderful.
Well, Robert, I really appreciate you coming on my show tonight.
It's a pleasure to have you on.
Thank you for spending so much time explaining this and really kind of putting a price tag on just how much it's costing us to Staff the administration and why it's so important and why vetting matters, because we're talking about doge and waste, fraud, and abuse.
And that was a really big theme of the current administration.
And yet, you know, here we are.
How much money is being wasted on paying the salaries of these useless career bureaucrats, many of whom are inherently corrupt and obstructionist in nature.
And they do not want to see President Trump succeed.
They are pushing an anti-American agenda, not all of them.
But I'm sure that if we were to actually clean house and really have tighter vetting guidelines, we could save the American people a lot of money.
That's a lot of money.
$271 billion to pay for people's salaries and their benefits, not including the military.
So just keep that in mind every single time you see one of these vetting crisis stories and you're wondering, you know, why your taxpayer money is going towards funding the salary of somebody who hates our country and hates President Trump and clearly wants to sow chaos and division in America.
Yeah, it can cost us more than $271 billion.
It can cost us the Constitution.
It can cost us our liberty.
This administrative state is allowed to once again march unimpeded into the White House and say who, what the president, what decisions he can make, what wars he can participate in or must participate in, or what decisions he must make.
That type of leverage must never again be put on a president or president-elect desk, as it were.
It just can't happen.
I think that we have to, I don't think we fully come to grips with what happened in 2016, but I do believe it was unprecedented.
I have to believe it was unprecedented.
We have to restore the presidency of George Washington, of Abraham Lincoln, the Franklin Roosevelt, of John Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.
We need that presidency back.
I think that President Trump is restoring that presidency.
And I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
I thank you, Laura, for everything that you're doing on behalf of President Trump to make sure that he gets it right.
He needs all the help he can get.
He needs your help out there.
He needs your support.
And I think he's going to do the right thing when we all kind of stick together in 2026 and 2028.
We got a long way ahead of us right now.
Right now, we need our elected officials and the people who have been appointed to do the right thing.
And I believe they will.
Thank you so much, Laura.
Absolutely.

Put your comments in the chat.
I want to know what you think about this because I just think that it's completely out of control.
It's an unsustainable situation, and they've got to get a grip on this vetting crisis.
Before we continue to the comments and the questions in the chat, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of tonight's episode of Loomer Unleash, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
Let's cut through the noise.
The economy is shaky.
Banks are failing.
Inflation's eating your savings.
But gold and silver, they've held their value throughout every single crisis.
But don't get burned buying the wrong type.
Those shiny coins and ads, they have a high price and high fees.
But when you try to sell, you're going to get less.
That's why Dr. Kirk Elliott does it differently with real bullion and no games.

Before we close out tonight, I'll take a couple questions.
Stephman117, how come they haven't freed Joe Exotic yet?
I don't know.
Interesting.
I don't know.
Let's see.
The sheer amount of grift and traitorous activity is astonishing.
Absolutely.
Trump better make sure he keeps Laura in his back pocket and never allow anyone to take her away.
Would be nice.
Let's see.
Mikey doesn't want to talk.
Says no one's truly going to jail.
We might see a handful as an appeasement.
Yep, absolutely.
I don't know.
I don't know if anybody's going to jail, honestly.
It's very concerning, to say the least.
Private box, Robert is a good man.
Thank you, Laura.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
It's out of control.
Charlie said, Green looks good on you.
Thank you.

The name of my media company is Illuminate Media.
You know why I named it Illuminate Media?
Because we're illuminating the truth, right?
It's spelled I-L-L-O-O-M, right?
It like Illume, right?
Loomer, Illuminate.
Light in the darkness.
We're illuminating the truth here at Illuminate Media.
So this is something that I've been focused on for a very long time.
I founded my media company several years ago and exposing bad actors and shining a light on dark darkness, corruption, fraud, waste abuse.
It's at the core of why I created my media company, why I launched my podcast and why I do what I do as an investigative journalist.
It's literally in the name of my media company, Illuminate Media, right?
We have to shine a light.
We have to illuminate the truth.
And that's what I'm doing.
I'm illuminating the truth.
Okay.
I'm shining a light.
I'm exposing all of these bad actors in the Trump administration who want to pretend like they're loyal, right?
They want to pretend like they're loyal.
Let's go ahead and play that clip of President Trump one more time because it's just such a powerful clip.
It is such a powerful clip of President Trump.
And if you don't understand this about President Trump, you're never going to understand what it means to be MAGA.
You're never going to understand what it means to be America first.
If you don't understand the concept of loyalty and if you don't value loyalty, you're never going to understand what drives me, what drives President Trump and what drives the MAGA movement.
Let's go ahead and play the clip.
I built this empire, and I did it by myself.
Nobody did it for me.
Not Ivana, not Marla, nobody.
In fact, I used to say to people, I used to say to people, Someday I'd like to be poor just for a little while just to see who's going to remain loyal to me.
There were specifically 24 or 25 people that I have here on who were very disloyal, who shouldn't have been disloyal.
And I think that's the thing that I learned more than anything else.
Nancy was loyal.
Because I'm like this great loyalty freak.
I'm loyal to a point of the absurd.
I stay with people.
I stay with people and I'm staying with President Trump.
And look, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a loyalty freak.
It clearly led to Donald Trump creating this empire.
He said, right, I built this empire and nobody did it for me.
I did it by myself.
And that's what I'm doing, right?
I've built what I have today and nobody did it for me.
I've did it.
I did it by myself.
I've done it by myself.
I'm still doing it.
And one of the reasons why I've been able to have success in what I do is that I'm loyal.
I'm loyal.
I'm a loyalty freak.
So hopefully with the information that you got out of tonight's episode and all of the information that you get out of my vetting crisis tweets and all of the reports on my website, you start to understand the importance of the concept of loyalty.
And the reason why we're in such a mess today as a country and why there's so much division and why there's so much chaos is because there's such a lack of focus on loyalty, right?
We live in a, you know, in a disloyal society where people who are disloyal are rewarded.
And oftentimes people who are disloyal rise to the top.
And it shouldn't be that way.
You shouldn't be rewarded for disloyalty.
If we are truly eliminating DEI from this administration and it's going to be merit-based, right?
Part of being a meritorious, honest, truthful person is also being a loyal person.
And so, look, I'm going to get a lot of hate for this.
And I know that I'm going to continue to be demonized in the media.
I mean, look, there's so many, there's so many articles out there today just attacking me non-stop, constantly attacking me for, you know, for my reporting.
But I don't, I'm not going to stop.
I don't have any attempt to stop or any desire to stop.
I have no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
I'm going to keep on exposing these people, exposing these bad actors, And continuing my investigations and operating my own independent vetting operation outside of the Trump administration.
And I hope that you will continue to support me along this journey and that you will support my efforts by subscribing to my podcast and supporting my work financially, whether it be through super chats or subscribing on my locals page or making a contribution on my website, because this is very important work.
This is very important work, not just to support President Trump and to make America great again, but to salvage our country and to save and protect our Constitution and all of the values that we hold dear as Americans.
So with that, I want to thank you so much for tuning in tonight.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you for amplifying this work and for sharing my investigations and for helping me spread the truth, right?
Illuminating the truth about the ongoing vetting crisis in the Trump administration.
Our country depends on it.
And really the success of President Trump's administration and his legacy depends on this.
With that, I will see you next week for another episode of Loomer Unleashed.
Thanks so much for tuning in tonight.
Have a great evening.
