Hey there, Shoddy Pony's. Here's some Huey Lewis in the news. Oh, good. Laura Lumer. She's that racist lady. We'll put whatever her last racist tweet was on the screen. Wow, look at that. It's so racist, whatever it is.

Speaking of social means and buttons and such, subscribe to our channel. Hit the buttons and all that. Check out the Patreon. Do all the stuff. Anywho, for those of you living happily unaware, Laura Lumer is a racist conspiracy theorist and professional Twitter scumbag.

And that's, you know, that's common. Except this racist Twitter scumbag also serves as an outside advisor to President Dornob Jonté The Trump, the grumpy king of America, and sometimes Venezuela, and by the time this airs, who knows where else? Actually, breaking news, it's Iran. Did everyone at home guess Iran?

Well, it is, but we wrote this episode before the whole war with Iran thing, so let's continue under the false premise that we don't know who, Who's next? Maybe it'll be Moon City. Thanks, Elon. You're like Tony Stark if instead of making a meck suit,

you just lied a lot. Lomers a lot like Elon actually, in that they have both been advisors to one of the most powerful people on Earth with a tremendous level of influence on the world despite holding no official government position. Wait, sorry, Elon was a special government employee, so cool for him.

Oh, and they're both Did I mention Laura Lumer is really racist? That's probably bad, right? She just has the king's ear, like Littlefinger, if he were somehow more of an in-cell. You know, if his fingers were littler. Thus far, Lumer's influence over Trump has taken the form of delivering the president lists of people

within the government who are disloyal and who must be excised. Last year, she convinced Trump to fire a dozen national security officials and revoke the security clearances of dozens more. This included dismissing Mike Waltz from his job as national security advisor for allegedly hiring, quote, individuals who have a history of anti-Trump remarks and anti-Trump associations. In other words, hiring people who have never bankrupted a personal frozen meats brand.

Lumer also got Trump to fire a federal prosecutor and an assistant U.S. attorney and to remove secret service protection for Joe Biden's children. Seems a petty and gross. Also worth noting that she acts and looks exactly like a reality TV show contestant. You know, 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? Alligator head? Megaphone. Glad you balanced that out with those potted plants. But it's not enough that she's a wildest, unqualified podcaster, much like how all of Trump's people are wildly unqualified podcasters. Her position is made even worse by how she came into this power, specifically, by believing in very little, having absolutely no morals, and just generally being the most unhinged person in any given room.

That's actually, that, that still describes a lot of Trump people, but Lumer is like the winner of those people. She's the cream of a crop spelled with three Ks. She's used a hashtag proud Islamophobe and called Islam a cancer, said she is a white advocate and described Representative Jasmine Crockett as a ghetto black bitch who hates America. Of all the racists working for Trump, she has worked hard to be the most racist of them all. So congratulations, Laura. You are the next apprentice. How is Laura Lumer one of the most powerful people on Earth? We live in a time of dark miracles is the general lesson to be learned in this episode.

Laura Lumer is, to sum it up, a true believer, even though I said she doesn't believe in anything, but she is a true believer. She has the fanatical stare of someone who has eaten evidence. She is loyal to Trump above any ideology or agenda, just for the opportunity to bask in his greasy power. In the theater of politics, she is what's known as a toady, a term that editor-in-chief of CBS News, Barry Weiss does not know. Oh, see, also the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and Super Mario. She's his self-appointed right hand, and everything she does is a direct result of what she thinks Donald Jamba Juice Trump wants to see. This is by Lumer's own admission. In a profile by the Atlantic,

Lumer emphasized that she is performing for an audience of one. She buys a new outfit every time she sees him, like she's meeting her father for the first time after Nick Cage boosted him from prison to save Alcatraz. She told the New Yorker she feels such a deep bond with the president that listening to him speak is like hearing herself, speaking to herself, while also seeming to insinuate that the two of them share an inner monologue, a psychic land connection, if you will, so they can play Halo together every time they blink. To be fair, she and Trump are pretty similar, at least in the way they behave in the public eye. They're both lifelong racists who crave attention and speak with no filter and have no regard for the concept of shame. They're both extremely impulsive and frequently make headlines for their outlandish behavior. But making those headlines is ultimately their goal, like a farting or a boros.

So we can see why she relates to him. As for Trump, he likes her. I think she's very nice. I mean, I know she's known as a radical right, but I think Laura Lumer is a very nice person. I've known her for a long time. And, you know, person, I think she's a patriot. And she gets excited because of the fact that she's a patriot. And she doesn't like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country.

I like her. He likes her. It's wild to hear Trump kind of acknowledge someone as being on the radical. Right? She's that racist, folks. So to recap, Laura Lumer is a right-wing grifter who believes she has conducted a Vulcan mind-meld with Trump, who likes her. And Laura will do absolutely anything to keep Trump's attention and remain in his inner circle. According to her, the president comes first. To the point that she told her boyfriend, if you can't handle that, then go find somebody else.

Really good advice. Instead, they got engaged, as leaked by Trump during a Christmas party, because they're besties. Lumer would do anything for Trump, including blowing up her relationship and life. And Trump, you know, likes her too. She's fine. Good pal if you ever need someone to take the blame for

financial crimes or future atrocities or anything in between. And she will do it. But in the meantime, she has a direct line to the president, which presumably means she calls him and sends him messages on his unsecured personal cell phone. But it could also mean that she has her own rotary line on Trump's desk, right next to the nuclear one, which is right next to the Diet Coke one.

And he doesn't pick up any of the phones without coming. Allegedly. Allegedly. There are rumors of a physical relationship between a loomers, between Lumer and the president. Because of course there are, but at the time of this writing, they are just rumors. And Lumer has categorically denied them,

although she herself has no problem making claims about the sexual activity of her many perceived enemies. Here's what we do know. Every time Donald Trump blows a load, a Russian spy collapses in their surveillance van like they heard the black speech of Mordor. You can just park those vans in the Rose Garden club now. I think I think I just made myself sick, actually. Horrifying stuff going on in the country.

So to sum up, Lumer has no official government position, but rather is just Trump's buddy that hangs around and advises him on how to be the president. And Trump listens to her suggestions and acts on them while recognizing that she's considered a member of the radical right so radical fact that Trump's team tried to keep her as far away from his re-election campaign as possible because they thought she would ruin his chances. Think about that. Think about being so cosmically far right that Trump's own people would consider her toxic for Trump and hurt his political chances, as if something could hurt his chances. The Stevens Miller and Bannon, Cash Patel, Well, those guys, totally fine.

But Trump's inner circle was specifically worried about Laura Lumer. And looking at her past, it's not hard to figure out why. So let's look at her past in a segment we're calling just for fun. Okay, Lumer. Admittedly, it's weird to do a biography segment on Laura Lumer, like she's some kind of historical figure that warrants it. But much like our episode on Stephen Miller, Lumer's or is extremely telling.

She grew up in a conservative household in Arizona, because of course, and was sent to boarding school along with her brother, while her family cared for a third sibling living with schizophrenia. In her memoir, she remembers being racist from a pretty young age, writing that all the inclusiveness she was being taught in elementary school

just didn't feel right. Something inside told her that most people were subhuman. But luckily, she was one of the good ones. ones. You see, by the blind booze cruise casino luck of the circumstances of her birth, Laura Lumer is white. So she decided that being white was the only correct thing to be. Now, as a little girl, Lumer didn't have any friends. I know, I'm shocked too. But to be fair to her, she doesn't say that she didn't have any friends, but rather that she instead considered her friends to be people like Sean Hannity and Bill.

O'Reilly. You know, the angry old white conservative men yelling at her through her television set, which is honestly more tragic than admitting to a sexual relationship with an imaginary friend. Basically, she grew up in what she describes as a very violent house due to her brother's behavior issues and was fed a constant stream of conservative propaganda. Quote, I used to come home and watch Bill O'Reilly with my dad every night, and we'd have like five TVs on in the house, and it was always Fox News. And keep in mind, this is right after 9-11, which Lumer, quite astutely credits as fueling her racism toward Muslims. Also, amid the endless right-wing news commentary, Lumer gravitated towards hidden camera shows, like punked, cheaters, and to catch a

predator. One of those things doesn't really belong. And it's punked. Punked never resulted in a stabbing or a death, unlike those other two programs. The stabbing on cheaters may have been faked, but the assistant district attorney who shot himself on to catch a predator was a not that. I know it seems weird to mention her fandom of those shows, but there is a connection there.

Specifically, the thing these shows have in common is that they're all forms of public shaming when a person is subjected to a spectacle of humiliation and degradation. Now, to be fair, prank shows like punked are less egregious than something like cheaters. And you could argue that the subjects of a show like to catch a predator deserve to be publicly shamed and also go to jail. But not for like entertainment purposes, right? This is shaming for the purpose of triggering righteous anger in the viewer as entertainment. And so we have this young girl growing up fearful and perpetually fed hate-mongering conservative

news on five TVs at once and gravitating toward these shows that are designed to surprise and publicly humiliate people for the entertainment of others. Is this such an obvious toxic mix that would produce a fucked up adult like Lumer? And in fact, Lumer credits these shows along with the antics of right-wing propagandist James O'Keefe as the inspiration for her brand of activism, which she calls getting loomered. Now, you may recognize this as a pathetic attempt to take credit for a well-established concept

by someone with no original ideas or talent, but she genuinely brags about it, as though getting loomered is a thing people say when she's not in the room. Like when OJ tried to make his own prank show called juiced on the premise that it was established slang. You know how you say you've been juiced when you jump out and stab your friends?

What if we did punked, but juiced? With me, juice, what do you mean? Why did I say stab? I guess my point here is that I don't think TV inherently causes violence or hate or automatically warps kids' minds or whatever. But whenever you watch these ultra-conservatives spewing racism on Fox, a really exploitative reality slop, it's easy to think, wow, I wonder what already fucked up child is being doubly fucked up

by this. And the answer to that is Laura Lumer. So very transparently was she fucked up by the worst aspects of the 2000s and isn't even really aware of that. She's aware that it happened and of the source of it, but not that it's really bad. She wears it proudly, taking the racist fearmongering of post-9-11 Fox News propaganda and cramming it together with gotcha reality TV sensibilities to form just the single worst personality you can imagine. And then that personality was nurtured in the cesspool of right-wing grifter internet circles. So let's take a break to vomit, maybe pee a little,

and then come back and talk about Laura Lumer's professional rise to power. Again, ugh, yeah, e-h. as. We sprung forward. How did the springing forward go for all of you? Poorly? Well, pipe down about it or we'll do it again next weekend, I swear to God. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Ground News, a website and app we specifically

wanted to sponsor us. They gather news from hundreds of sources and compare coverage. I've been working with Ground News for a long time and that's for a reason. I think they're one of the most powerful solutions for getting to the truth of a story given all the spin you'll see online. For example, Ground News is where I learned about half daylight savings time. A proposal whereby we would turn our clocks forward by 30 minutes and then keep them there, thus forever being off the rest of the world in half time zone-sized increments.

Koka Vin? That stupid rat. It's probably made Coke of VIN. Hey, we're back from our break that was meant for vomiting and peeing. I actually did neither and split the difference instead. I will let you figure out what that means. So we were talking Lumer. You know that.

You were watching the first part. And how she grew up exactly as messed up as you would imagine. Specifically, being fed a steady diet of fear and right-wing propaganda, which are, of course, the same thing. She then spent her time in college, endlessly budding heads with the school administration over multicultural events because she's a racist, including protesting an interfaith 9-11 memorial service her senior year. Those humiliatingly racist antics caught the attention of David Horowitz, who you may recognize as the weird talent recruiter

for Nazis who also took Stephen Miller under his wing. He was also a wizened bigot, well-versed in the game of lying about liberal bias on college campuses. His many, embarrassed, including claiming that a student had been given a failing grade for refusing to write a disparaging essay about George W. Bush, and at one point, he was identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as one of the chief architects of Islamophobia in America. That's like the MAGA equivalent of a Nobel laureate. Horowitz introduced Lumer to James O'Keefe, and she began relentlessly pestering him for a job until he finally took her on as part of a sting operation to discredit the

the Black Lives Matter movement in 2015. The previous year, Eric Garner was murdered by police officers while being unlawfully detained. And Lumer secretly recorded a conversation with one of Garner's daughters during a shared cab ride. In the conversation, Erica Garner expressed dissatisfaction with Al Sharpton, the controversial activist and media personality who had been organizing protest events on her family's behalf, and that she felt Sharpton was taking advantage of their tragedy for financial gain. Loomers reporting appeared on the front page of the New York Post the very next day, with the headline, All About the Money!

I probably don't need to explain all the ways this is stupid and how it's not really journalism. It's a video of someone's kid, not even a public figure or politician, who doesn't know they're being recorded, venting about somebody's, else is then being used to try and discredit this person and a larger movement. It's obvious wet trash, or rather any serious person would see it as obvious wet trash. And Lumer's work with Project Veritas during this time would continue to be moist, moist trash, even for her. An unrefined version of the grift she would eventually perfect.

Her entire strategy was to infiltrate Black Lives Matter events like a rancid Stephen Bushemi meme to try and bait people into agreeing that violence was necessary so she could secretly record it. Part of her ironclad cover story included insisting she had a black boyfriend and she would immediately show people a picture of a black man on her cell phone as proof of life after mentioning this. Laura herself is such a piss-drinking racist. She assumed everyone needed to see a picture of a black person like as a special pass in order to to attend a Black Lives Matter event. Because that's what she would require, you see.

But despite being such a lazy and weird liar, James O'Keefe saw in her the kindred spirit of a flailing propagandist and kept her on at Project Veritas for more operations. And has gone on to say about Lumer, quote, she isn't wired like other people. It's as if her brain doesn't process information like the rest of us.

She appears to be functionally immune to fear, to shame, and to embarrassment. This is from the foreword to Lumer's book. She's proud of that quote of him describing her like an illiterate Terminator program to destroy integrity. And much like Trump acknowledging that she's a radical right, this is fucking James O'Keefe saying, wow, this lady's incapable of feeling shame. My goodness. Can you imagine if these people were granted even a second of self-awareness? They're just open grifters congratulating themselves on being open grifters who will do anything it takes to grift.

Not that we needed them to tell us, you know, because, well. So you could see here positive bison. It clearly says dog food topper. And I'm going to put this in my mouth right now. Yeah. Accurate quote from James O'Keefe. So Kiefer funded more of Lumer's hidden camera antics at her own college, culminating in a video accusing her school's administration of being open to a student ISIS club on campus.

Like everything Project Veritas does, the video was selectively edited to take statements out of context and be deliberately misleading. Suffice it to say that no, you will probably not be allowed to collect signatures for a terrorist cell at your university. I'm so sorry. Lumer was suspended and banned from the campus as a result, which kind of flies in the face of her point behind the prank. She did grievance theater for any wealthy conservative benefactors

who may have been watching, and she did a bad job and proved herself wrong in the process. But I guess it paid off. After all, it's the same strategy Lumer used to court President Trump because it's literally never failed her. Also in 2015, she was busted trying to try to court, to pressure some of Hillary Clinton's campaign staffers into accepting illegal cash donations. Because she's bad at undercover work. Her movie would be called Officer Donnie Brasco.

She would have worn her uniform to meet Jack Nicholson in the departed. Lumer pulled several more, completely embarrassing and ineffectual stunts for Project Veritas over the next two years, including wearing a burqa while trying to obtain a voting ballot under the name Huma Abadine, or the vice chair of Hillary Clinton's campaign at the time, and storming the stage of a production of Shakespeare in the park, along with neo-Nazi collaborator and professional ratfucker Jack Posobic, because it depicted Julius Caesar as Trump, a gimmick never explored by Shakespeare productions before.

When asked to place her hands on her head by police as she was being escorted From the venue, Lumer said, quote, I'm not resisting officers, unlike the left. Mind you, this was in 2017 during Trump's first administration. So I guess she's trying to reference the left resisting Trump's rule or something? I'm not sure. Feels like she just ends a lot of sentences with unlike the left during the day. I paid my parking tickets. Unlike the left.

Also, isn't the whole point of storming the stage to make a show? of resisting the violent leftist mob that wants to silence conservative voices in America? Also, it's freaking Shakespeare in the park, ma'am. This isn't the government in V for Vendetta. You're bravely standing up to an off-Broadway theater in order

to defend the president. Just so embarrassing. Oh, and you might be imagining some kind of protest-style demonstration in your head. Like, she had a sign, or did something, anything specific. But no. She just ran up and started screaming at the performers like they were demons.

So during Friday evening's performance, Laura Lumer, stormed the stage, interrupting the performance, denouncing the depiction of violence against the right, and following the interruption, Lumer was in fact arrested by the NYPD. She's just some weirdo wandering on stage. It looks like someone who needs help. But apparently this was organized and planned. Like, there she is, celebrating on Fox News.

like a hero. The left has systematically and programmatically used free speech and artistic expression as a pretext to incite violence against the right and promote the assassination of President Donald Trump. This is pretty incredible how few qualifications the right needs in order to turn you into a powerful figure. She was disruptive and annoying at a protest. And then, unlike the left, praised by Fox News.

She basically just soy bombed this one show, got arrested, and was rewarded her own special moment on the big channel. And by extension, an audience with the president watching to spew off a talking point about how the left is violent. And that's all it takes. She clearly just needed a reason to get on Fox News, the channel she loves and grew up watching and did so in the most dishonest attention-seeking style possible.

Then she was off to the racists. After this, she finally got suspended from Twitter in 2018 for hate speech. After a racist series of posts claiming Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was anti-Jewish and pro-Sheria, Lumer even managed to get banned from both Uber and Lyft as a result of her many Islamophobic rants. And those platforms enable rapists. You have to be pretty terrible to get banned for life from both of them. but she rose to the challenge by demanding a ride-sharing service that didn't hire Muslim drivers. That's...

It's pretty racist. Lumer would write about her deplatforming, quote, I will never truly recover. And she never did. Psychologically, I mean, I think she was referring to her career and, well, she's like kind of the president now. But at the time of her suspension, Lumer did the reasonable thing. Wait, sorry, opposite of that word.

She handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter's headquarters in New York while wearing a star of David to protest the company's Nazi tactics. My goodness, a lot to unpack there. This might be the single most terminally online thing a person has ever done. Like, we should have just unplugged the internet after this, right? We should have seen Laura Lumer try to compare herself to a Jewish person in Nazi Germany because she was banned from the bird website for racism and said, Whoops! No more internet folks! Never mind, bad idea after all. Also, and very importantly, she only handcuffed herself to one door, which meant that people would freely come and go during her demonstration. I put myself to both of them inside the building. You know, that's a fire hazard, of course.

The comedic timing there is just, oh, aces, oh, I want to watch it nine more times. See, Lumer didn't want to block the door, as she explains after, she heard someone else suggest this as a reason, because it's a fire hazard. She knows that will get her in more trouble when she's inevitably arrested, which is the only reason she's doing this in the first place. She doesn't actually want to cause a disruption or change any policies, but rather make herself and her sham suffering the center of the internet's attention for at least a day or two. It's not just a tantrum, it's a strategic tantrum. That doesn't make it smart. mind you, but rather it's what a toddler does when they wait for people to enter the room before

crying. So this is the Avengers end game of getting loomered. Here she is having a performative Varuka salt meltdown to a totally sympathetic Alex Jones, the king of Texas throat singing. They're just trying to kill us. You want to know what they're trying to do. They want us dead. And I hate to make it all about myself, but I have been defamed, okay? My life has been destroyed. My life has been ruined, Alex, by people who have defamed me online. I am 25 years old and it will probably be like this for the rest of my life. But what are they doing? I want to know what people are actually going to do. My life is ruined. Does anybody understand how ruined my life is? I'm sick of it. I don't want to listen to people tell me that I'm a conspiracy theorist. They don't know

what it's like to be me. My fucking life is ruined. No, I understand. I just think you need to go. with it, but at least the president is concerned about it. Okay, he's concerned about it, but that's not going to stop the fact that I've lost 90% of my income. That's not going to stop the fact that I literally can't make a living anymore, even though I have a degree. I was valedictorian in college. I graduated top of my class in my journalism program. Wow. Were we supposed to be watching that? They posted it for people to see? It's kind of amazing to watch someone shock Alex Jones and the silence. That guy has just as many crabs piloting his brain as Laura Lumer. They're probably

some of the same crabs. And yet not even he can muster enough bloated outrage to commiserate with Lumer's rant here. He actually seems a little scared. Like, this is the point where we can confirm that Laura Lumer has no one in her life that cares about her. I mean, she said her best friends growing up were George Wallace speeches or whatever. But right here is what we're when a friend or a family member should have taken her aside and said, hey, hey, maybe you should see a therapist and get off the internet for a while. It's actually quite sad, or rather, it would be sad

if she didn't become a powerful monster. Also, her life and career weren't over, and she knew that. Because despite being cruelly defanged by the woke left, Lumer still did outrageous stunts for attention, including hiring some day laborers to picket Nancy Pelosi's Napa Valley vacation home in 2019, carrying a tent painted with the word immorality and decorated with the names and pictures of people who had allegedly been murdered

by undocumented immigrants. Taking her Nazi propaganda on the road, see? Pelosi was the Democratic Speaker of the House at the time, and listen, there are plenty of things she's done that deserve to be picketed. Certainly her Napa Valley vacation home deserves to be picketed, simply for existing. But Lumer's demonstration, like everything she does, was just racist performance art based on white supremacist conspiracy theories, like a Klansman on ice skates.

And that's a perfect encapsulation of Laura Lumer. She acts without thinking, based entirely on emotion, just like Trump. And just like Trump, she refuses to ever back down from anything she says or does, and will instead double and triple down until the hill she's defending is so bizarre, it's indistinguishable from a random sentence in a dream journal

about some weird fucking hill. In a normal, rational, and healthy political world, Lumer would have reached no further than a bad season of a reality TV show. But we are not in that thing, and luckily the people working for Donald Jefferson Trump are also grifters and weirdos. So, after that last stunt, Laura Loomer finally got noticed by the grand old petty.

Avengers Looms Day. This is when Laura Loommer stopped being a Twitter punchline and turned into a cosmic joke. On All of Us, as she slowly became an inexplicable threat to democracy. Firstly, by getting the attention of Roger Stone. You know him? He's the arch-conservative operative responsible for some of the dumbest shit the GOP has done

over the past 26 years, including participating in the Brooks Brothers riot, which helped George W. Bush steal the White House, and figuring out the cheat code to unlock infinite hats. According to Trump insiders, Stone flagged Lumer as being a young person who would say and do pretty much anything, which could be valuable in building up support for MAGA

outside of the establishment. But remember, this is earlier MAGA, when Trump still assumed that he had to exist within the bounds of establishment politics, and consequences and reality in general. Silly him. This is all to say that they knew they needed to try and legitimize Lumer. You can't just have some random podcaster running things, right? That would be absurd.

So Stone tapped his network of political cronies to set up a congressional bid for Lumer in 2020, in Florida's 21st District, which at the time just so happened to be the same district as the presidential vented shipping container called Mar-a-Lago. It's a human-trafficking joke. Do you get it?

Did you get the human-trafficking joke about the president? So, Lumer actually won a fairly crowded Republican primary, with Trump's support, of course, and significantly outraised her Democratic opponent, Lois Frankl. But she already had a steep uphill battle with Frankl as the incumbent. And running a campaign based entirely on personal grievances

and culture-war nonsense, only wound up getting her 39% of the vote. She lost. Also, Frankel barely mentioned Lumer's name during her entire campaign, which is like a no-look knockout in blood sport. Of course, you could argue that Stone never realistically expected Lumer to win,

but merely saw this as an opportunity to raise a bunch of money and energize Maga's base. Either way, Lumer ran again in 2022 in the 11th district, but lost during the primaries and refuse to concede because of course she did, accusing her Republican opponent of voter fraud. Because of course she did. This is one big way in which she views her struggle

as being aligned with Trump's struggle? She told the New Yorker, I see my fight as his fight. And they did it to me first. Essentially, both she and Trump were banned from Twitter and lost elections. which in her mind makes them the same person. Luckily, Long John Musk, seen here doing what I assume is Laura Lumer's favorite gesture

that she's also mad at but also loves, reinstated her Twitter account in 2022, allowing her to Tasmanian devil her way onto Trump's very smudgy radar, specifically by going after Ron DeSantis. You remember old Wet Ron? He foolishly tried to challenge Darnold Jupitaneum Trump for the Republican nomination during the 2024 primaries, invoking the fury of Trump's most ferocious supporter.

Loomer made headlines, or as I assume she calls them, headlooms, in 2023 after picketing a book signing of DeSantis's and being dispersed by police at the governor's request. She called DeSantis a tyrant, which is correct. After all, DeSantis changed state law to allow himself to run for president without vacating the governorship and has been at the forefront of right-wing suppression of free speech for the past several years, particularly in public schools. Of course, Lumer doesn't care about any of that. Here's her explaining exactly what her plan was. So I knew all throughout my entire second congressional campaign when I ran in the villages in central Florida, that Ron DeSantis

was going to run against Trump. And so naturally, I just really developed this animosity towards Ron DeSantis. Nobody wants to take the first shot at Ron to, and he's denying the fact that he's running for president. So I had this idea. I said, why don't I organize a rally? It's not going to be a protest. It's going to be a rally in support of Trump outside of Ron DeSantis's book signing for the first ever book appearance for his new book, right? The blueprint for Florida, whatever it was called. There was nothing anti-Dissantis about it. We were all wearing Trump shirts that said Trump won. And all of a sudden, the videos online think you can play it, the security guard comes out from books a million and goes, you need to leave. And I was like,

why? We're Trump supporters. Isn't this Ron DeSantis? Like, I thought he supports Trump, right? Obviously, I'm being tongue and cheek, because I know what's going on. I know what's going on, which is why I did what I did. This clip is pretty key, because what she's explaining there is her entire tactic across the board. Staged victimhood. Lumer knew that DeSantis was planning to run against Trump and disrupted his book signing with a pro-Trump demonstration, knowing full well that someone was going to have to come out and tell them to leave.

It could have been a pro-burger demonstration. that still would have happened. But this is how you get the headline, Ron DeSantis called a tyrant as Trump supporters barred from book signing. Bad for Ron! And while I super don't care about Ron getting doomed to a life of Ted Cruisery,

this is how all of Lumer's publicity stunts worked. As a slight aside, speaking of Florida and these weird racists and liars, there's currently this obnoxious Groyper piss boy running for governor in Florida, and he staged a little rally meet at Disney Springs with around 150 people attending. He was asked to leave and was escorted off the premises and banned, which he described as an attack on free speech because Disney indoctrinates the youth,

and he wrote a letter to Bob Eiger demanding that his ban be lifted and he be given a formal apology and Disney should review their exclusionary policies against conservatives. What he didn't do is contritely acknowledged that Disney, Disney has very basic and understandable policies that don't allow unauthorized political demonstrations on their property at their family-oriented theme park. Anyway, what a fraud that lies to you. I hope you don't vote for him. Back to Laura Lumer, the, that guy I just talked about of Laura Lumer.

This is ostensibly her tactic. She weaponizes the concept of protests, not to try and create actual change, but to make a headline designed to feed a political goal. She's not actually trying to address violent rhetoric and Shakespeare in the park, or make Twitter change their policies, or achieve whatever she was going for at Nancy Pelosi's home. She just wants to be seen as being oppressed.

It's the exact same tactic as claiming, the left is a woke mob when people react accordingly to something racist or fucked up, you said. You throw some dirt and then say, you're being oppressed when anyone throws dirt back. conservative grievance theater. A lot of them do it, but Loomer has perfected it. It helps if you don't believe in anything, of course, or rather you only believe in getting the attention of one guy. And while again, this only gets you so far in politics, it actually gets you super far when

aiding authoritarian who are the lords of staged victimhood. I mean, remember, Lumer is calling Ron DeSantis a tyrant. She's screaming. screaming about Twitter censorship, all to get a position where she can give the president a list of non-believers to purge from his ranks. She loves tyranny and censorship when she gets to do it. We know this. We know that even while tanking the country with seemingly no consequences or legal boundaries, they will still pretend to be the victim.

They'll scream and cry that they're being oppressed while they shoot you in the streets. That's what happens when you have a political movement that doesn't believe. in any single ideology beyond consolidating power to punish the rest of the world for its unhappiness. Speaking of punishing the world, we're gonna do one more ad break and then talk about Laura Loomers' final rungs that are climbed to inexplicable power.

Not that inexplicable when you remember who the president is, of course, but... Stay tuned! Or as I assume she calls it, loomed. Why do they call it under the influence? You're high, but you're under? Under what? The planet Mercury?

Stunningly, not available on streaming. I've got a hanker in. That's right, quality cinema and shows on the television pumped into my eyeballs day and night on demand. Good thing, Pluto, TV has thousands of movies and TV shows you love all for free. Fan favorite movies like Dreamgirls. Gladiator.

Four beds in a bucket. Nine weddings and a colonoscopy. Six pangolins and a little sack of flour. Nacho Libre. Alexander in the day that was fine. It was fine. One fish, two fish, fast fish, furious fish. hour-long bagel line, hot tub deli slicer, the land before money, fried butt, and interstellar,

and also binge-worthy TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, Occam's single-bladed razor, Kant's many-varied four-bladed razor, springtime with syphilis. That's our Kaczynski. Oaf, Dad. Whoops! All Hanukkah episodes, the fairly odd parents, and the X-Files. Pluto TV, stream now? Pay never!

What's up? Name's Cody. You probably heard of me? I'm from earlier in the episode. Before the break, we were talking about Laura Lumer's evolution, from being an embarrassing right-wing grifter, even four right-wing grifters, all the way to getting the attention of Roger Stone. Specifically, she was seen as a sort of blunt instrument

that political operatives could use to boost Trump. She had fully established herself as this true believer, willing to do anything for the cause, someone they could strap a bomb to if they wanted, a real expendable henchman type. It's like watching a mob TV show wondering who's gonna make it to the final season, or more accurately, it's like watching a reality TV show,

because that is specifically how Laura Lumer and Donald Trump, Trump operate. She scraped and punched and wormed her way to the top through her sheer lack of shame. And so it was only a matter of time before she swooped into Trump's inner circle to pilot his peepaw rage like the creature in Ratatooie. Title me. Scatatooie. That beast took his mind. The hideous beast took his mind! Titles are nonsense today, huh? So basically, Lumer did that book signing stunt, specifically and preemptively targeting Trump's political rival. And that's when Trump started inviting Lumer to travel with his campaign. And she's been in his ear ever since, stoking his rage and feeding him truly bizarre conspiracies to keep him forever enraged, like a bear with an arrow in its dick.

For example, she was a key factor in pushing the Haitian immigrants in Ohio or eating their pets lie, that dominated Trump's messaging for several news cycles. Remember when he was obsessed with that? He and J.D. Vance acted like that was a real issue, despite it objectively not happening, and forgot about it the moment they took power. A lie, I believe those are called. In this case, a Nazi lie.

By then, Trump had already pitched Lumer as an official member of his campaign, and his people said, no, we'll set you up with you. the goldfish first, see how you do with it. Her brand of shameless histrionic racism was viewed as too risky even by Trump's staffers. And they should have been right. You shouldn't bounce back from they're eating the pets. It should be harder to recover from bringing in a vowed 9-11th truther and conspiracy theorist to a September 11th memorial service. But instead, Laura got to hang around

like a dumpster ghost and feed Trump's worst instincts with needles and piss she found from the dumpster she lives in. She probably doesn't even want an official job in the White House at this point. Laura, my life is over, Lumer claims to be earning 300 grand as a consultant in opposition research and employee vetting. Basically, she's earning in the middle six figures to Google people for stuff she can lie about. And at the same time, she's hanging out with the president dictating policy without the oversight you'd normally have when doing that. And he's genuinely gotten worse because of her influence. It's obviously not all because of her, but his behavior and impulse control are truly off the rails in a way that just wasn't before she jumped into his pocket like that

mouse and Ben and me. Like, he was always racist. But now he's just so openly and proudly racist. Like, he just hates Somalis now. Just says it. He just says it all the time. And I can't help but think about how right before the last election, Laura Lumer did this. The New York Times reports that right-wing activists and politicians who have traveled to the daring gap in Panama are interviewing migrants and asking them misleading questions. in an effort to make them seem scarier. What do you think, you like Yohan Omar, what do you think about Joe Biden? Joe Biden?

Yeah, of course, it's a good president too. Why? You know, I don't follow the American politics, but I can see he's a good president. That dude literally says he doesn't follow politics. He's just a guy at a migrant camp trying to survive. And this dildo is asking him about the current American president, and he's like, yeah, sure, he's good, right? Because what else would you do?

And Lumer put this on her Twitter account with the caption, Somali illegal aliens proclaims support for Elon Omar and Joe Biden inside Panama migrant camp. It's the same bottom of the barrel grifter shit she always did, but now she's doing it for the president, who likes her, making personalized propaganda just for him to make him as openly racist as she is. And she's so very racist, folks.

She's too racist for Marjorie Taylor Green, the loudest unsilent cell phone at the wine tasting, who criticized Lumer after she tweeted that a White House occupied by Kamala Harris would smell like curry. Because she's very openly racist. Like, wow, there used to be a time when this level of racism,

even by an associate, would torpedo any presidential campaign. It's almost like the right wing has waged a concerted effort to whine about wokeness out of control to the point that textbook racism and fascist ideas have been somehow hand-waved by a lot of very stupid centrist and politicians. Anyway, at least, um, Marjorie Taylor Green actually agrees with me that this is racist. She sassy clapped back on Elon Musk's X, the Everything app, stating that Loomers' post was appalling and extremely racist.

Which it was. Green further claimed that Loomer's statement didn't represent Republicans, MAGA, or President Trump. And boy, you've gotta quit when you're ahead, ma'am! But sure, we can play pretend this one time, Marge. Lomers obviously racist tweet was an anomaly. So this, combined with Green's stubborn refusal to stop it with the Epstein-Five, stuff put a big target on her back. You see the president really seems to be a pedophile who hung out with this infamous child sex trafficker. So Lumer realizes that it's bad to try and expose

that since she unconditionally loves him. So the feud between these two maga bullhorns escalated into some truly wild accusations from Lumer, including a tweet she sent to Green saying, quote, remember when you destroyed your family so you could have sex with a Zangif cosplayer, tell me again how you and the Arby's in your pants are representatives of the GOP. Lots to unpack there, including the fact that Laura Lumer is a fan of streetfighter apparently, or at least knows about it, but the key part there is the um, the Arby's reference, because this actually got even weirder during Lumer's defamation lawsuit against Bill Maher, when she was officially asked in a very serious setting about this.

We actually have the transcript, which is publicly available. So we might as well do a reenactment. Here we go. For the role of Laura Lumer, we have Katie Stoll. Welcome, Katie. It's been a while. Where you been? Prison.

Oh. Yeah, shot a horse. OK, you have five minutes before my food gets here. OK, begin scene. Miss Lumer, can you explain to me what it means to say to her that the R.B.'s in her pants. Arby sells roast beef. Right. Can you tell me what, why you were talking about the R.B.'s in her pants? Well, it's just, an expression.

What is the expression trying to convey? It conveys the reason why she got a divorce by her own admission. Because she had roast beef in her pants. Yeah. She'd put roast beef in her pants. That's what you're trying to say there. You're literally saying she put Arby's in her pants? I am saying she literally...

It's so ridiculous. I'm saying she literally put Arby's in her pants. Yes. What is your basis for saying she had Arby's in her pants? Because I know she likes to eat at Arby's. And she likes to put it in her pants. You know that? Yeah.

She puts Arby's in her pants. Yeah, she does. Okay. If I ask Marjorie Taylor Green, she would tell you that she puts Arby's in her pants? I, it is my best belief that she would tell you that. Yes. Ooh, Arbys.

Wait, was that last bit part of the transcript? Whatever. Okay, so this deposition keeps going like this. They keep talking about Arby's. and pants, and then Lumer moves on to call Lindsay Graham gay. It's like drunk high school shit, but somehow less coherent. We probably didn't need to spend so much time on it, but it's just so deeply unsurious. This is someone advising the president, just running the most garbage mouth in human history,

the weirdest, dumbest, most reality TV show Slop Person imaginable. Like, Marjorie Taylor Green would go on to second. guess her entire political career and give up her seat after this. I'm not saying she should be praised or even believed for that. But wow. Green was one of the many congresspeople who conspired to steal the 2020 election for Trump violating constitutional law and over 200 years of precedent and breaking her oath of office in the process.

And she still got chased out of the house like a dirty parent for being disloyal thanks in no small part to Laura Lume. Laura Lumer. This was all too gross and low for Marjorie Taylor Green. The Nazis are getting appalled at the worst Nazis. Yikes. And that's where we are now. Laura Lumer is indirectly wielding as much power as anyone in history. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is dictating policy based on her personal grievances and the personal grievances of countless other extremely online weirdos exactly like her. One senior administration nominee told the New Yorker that the White House will act on the top conservative talking point on social media 90 plus percent of the time.

We've already seen that with our own eyes. The Department of Justice has been launching investigations based on whatever conspiracy theory is trending on Elon Musk's child abuse app. And if that were bad enough, recent reporting from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Lumer has received information and funding from a problem. prominent Israeli-American intelligence analyst, which might have something to do with why she has gone out of her way to attack Tucker Carlson and other conservative figures speaking out against Israel. So at best, she's an acolyte fiercely devoted to only the president and her precious racism, forever perched on his shoulder like a Muppet henchman he may also be stooping. A salacious crumb indeed. But most of all, she's just a really fucked up person. a friendless creep who didn't process the trauma of September 11th correctly.

And now it's our problem. She wanted life to be like in the reality TV shows where everyone backstabs each other to get the big prize. And over time, she became this weird fanatic and found a home in what is essentially a cult. She's in a cult. Listen to how she talks about Trump as he relates to America. But I'm not joking. Are you America first or are you Trump first? I'm America first.

But like Trump is America first. Trump is the leader of the America first movement. So when I say when when Tucker Carlson says oh Trump's not America first Trump is Trump is the founder of the America first movement. America first is what Trump says it is. Oh good. She puts America first by which she means Trump Trump. Trump first because America first is whatever Trump says it is Trump who definitely founded the America first movement as opposed to you know there being a long history of racists using that phrase including the Ku Klux Klan And that's interesting, because I'm not sure Laura Lumer or Trump knew that when they started using that phrase. I don't think Lumer has studied historical propaganda or fascism or history in general, which means that these fucked up reality TV-brained people

kind of naturally gravitated toward authoritarianism without even being prompted to do so. It's their natural impulse. These racist people raised on fear and shame who are so obviously in need of a real friend and not a Fox News host, just kind of drift toward cult behavior and fascism if you give them enough power and time.

Laura Lumer is a natural fascist, and that's probably something we should study. But instead, we accidentally gave her a lot of power, this clear fanatic and racist. It's like if this streaker at a football game was hired as the ref, and that's probably a failure on every level, right? We have Trump, who is no doubt sinking into sycophantic comforts as his brain melts, and there's Lumer, ready to rub his leg like he's Queen Anne and the favorite.

And then there's America, which somehow allowed all of this to happen through a rotting system of militarized police and government surveillance and seating more and more power to the executive branch, a rot that was also birthed from fear, from the same terrorist attack that shaped Lumer at a young age. And maybe that's because this country in its current fucked up form also naturally drifts toward fascism. Maybe we're living in one big Laura Lumerverse. I hope not. I really hope not. But just in case, maybe we should rethink a whole lot of things. Just a suggestion.

Yo, I'm back. We can keep doing the play or whatever. That's not Arby's. That is. It belonged to Arby. So Arby is a person you know Well that depends Our children

People Like legally speaking Or is it more like a horse situation Happy you're back Katie Aw You too I mean do you mean You're happy I'm back in your life
