LAURA LOOMER (HOST): Our country is suffering because, unfortunately, our vice president is friends with Tucker Carlson, and Tucker Carlson has unfettered access to the White House. Right? That's crazy. I mean, it's crazy how you can be a simp for Islam and a simp for Islamic terrorism and then just be friends with the vice president and get to crash the oil executive meeting because the vice president invites you to lunch. Right? That's what's unfortunate.

...

LOOMER: I like JD Vance. I respect JD Vance. I get along with JD Vance, but enough is enough, okay? You know, as somebody who wants to be president of the United States, I would hope, and I would actually expect JD Vance to have the moral clarity to tell Tucker Carlson that he's not allowed to come back to the White House, right? This is the type of moral clarity we expect to see from people who want to be president of the United States, and that's not an attack on JD Vance. But eventually, he has to decide what he cares about more: his friendship with an unhinged, lunatic mouthpiece for Qatar or being president of the United States. Because we all know he wants to run for president in 2028. And that's great, that's fine, right? Go ahead, run for president.

But I need to know, and I think a lot of people want to know if Tucker Carlson's going to be some kind of advisor to him, why he keeps on having Tucker Carlson come to the White House for these lunch dates, whatever they are. I don't know. Blaming it on Donald Trump, saying that it's Donald Trump meeting with Tucker Carlson. It's not. It's the vice president. I got the White House to confirm that to me as well. So, definitely has a Tucker Carlson problem. And look, he can run for president. That's fine. You know, we have primaries in this country. It's great. We're gonna have a primary, JD Vance is gonna run for president. Okay, great. But, you know, you want to run for president, you have to also understand that a large portion of the MAGA base doesn't like Tucker Carlson. And we don't wanna see Tucker Carlson on the campaign trail. We definitely don't wanna see Tucker Qatarlson in the White House.
