Laura Loomer Suspends Show To Focus on Family Life - Newsweek
Far-right activist and influencer Laura Loomer has announced that she will step back from her podcast, Loomer Unleashed, to spend more time with her family.
Loomer, who has long been a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, took to X to share the news on Thursday night.
“I’m taking a hiatus from my show @LoomerUnleashed, which I livestream twice a week,” she wrote. “I’ve been running on empty for too long. Family, my personal life, my upcoming wedding, a healthy work life balance and just the act of having a life outside of my show and my work have all been on hold.”
The announcement comes after Loomer had an extremely public reaction to Republican defeats in the midterm elections this week, taking to social media to predict a future of political violence and terrorism and declaring that the United States is “over” and has “no future.”
Loomer’s podcast series Loomer Unleashed has been running since 2023. Largely streaming on video service Rumble, the show includes political commentary, pranks and confronting politicians.
While earlier editions heavily focused on U.S. elections, Trump and immigration, by 2026, episodes became extremely long, running roughly two to three and a half hours.
The subject matter also shifted—concentrating heavily on Islam, immigration, the Iran war and national security issues. Loomer has a long public record of anti-Muslim rhetoric and conspiracy claims. She has previously described herself as a "proud Islamophobe," and has promoted the false claim that 9/11 was an "inside job."
Loomer also enjoys a particularly close relationship with Trump, who said in October that she is "a great Republican strategist, a great person, a killer when she's angry at you."
Previous guests on the Loomer Unleashed show include a 43-minute interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and an interview with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
“I’ll still be paying attention, fully supporting President Trump, breaking news, commenting on news, doing research and I’ll be around. I will be present (I always am). But, I won’t be doing my show for a while,” she said. “I’ll be back when the time is right.”
In a follow-up post, she explained that she would be re-designing her new studio and getting ready for coverage in 2027-2028 “ahead of the presidential election season.”
