I HAVE BEEN A LEADER ON FERTILIZATION. >> WHEN "ALL IN" STARTS RIGHT NOW. GOOD EVENING FROM NEW YORK, I AM CHRIS HAYNES. THE COUNTRY JUST MARKED THE 23rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS ON AMERICA THAT KILLED 3000 PEOPLE. DONALD TRUMP ATTENDED A REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY IN LOWER MANHATTAN AND AS HIS GUEST THE EX-PRESIDENT BROUGHT A CONSPIRACY THEORIST WHO SAYS 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. HER NAME IS LAURA LOOMER AND SHE JOINED TRUMP AND RUNNING MATE J.D. VANCE AS THEY TOOK PHOTOS WITH FIREFIGHTERS. YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP. YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO. IT IS HEINOUS AND ALSO, SADLY, UNSURPRISING. FOR ALMOST A DECADE NOW DONALD TRUMP HAS USED HIS POLITICAL PLATFORM TO CHANNEL THE WORST, MOST VILE AND DISGUSTING RHETORIC, IDEAS AND PEOPLE AND MAINSTREAM THEM INTO AMERICAN CULTURE. FROM REPOSTING TROLLS IN HIS 2016 CAMPAIGN TO DEFENDING SOME OF THE NEO-NAZIS AS VERY FINE PEOPLE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT TO WHIPPING UP VIOLENT GANGS AND MILITIAS LIKE THE PROUD BOYS AND OATH KEEPERS. HE HAS COURTED HOLOCAUST DENIERS AND ENDORSED CONSPIRACY THEORISTS OF ALL STRIPES. IN FACT JUST TODAY, GET THIS, NPR REPORTED THAT A NAZI SYMPATHIZER WHO SPENT THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR STORMING THE CAPITAL ON JANUARY 6 WAS AN HONORED GUEST AT TWO DIFFERENT EVENTS AT TRUMP'S BEDMINSTER GOLF RESORT AND, YES, THAT IS THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE ALLEGED NAZI SYMPATHIZER, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT IN. AT ONE OF THOSE EVENTS, A FUNDRAISER FOR THE JANUARY 6 CRIMINALS, TRUMP ADDRESSED THE CROWD BY VIDEO, SAYING ALL OF THE PEOPLE THERE, INCLUDING THE MAN ON YOUR SCREEN, ALL OF THE PEOPLE THERE, YOU ARE AMAZING PATRIOTS, HAVE A GREAT TIME AT BEDMINSTER. TRUMP HAS ALSO FORGED A BOND WITH FAR RIGHT BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK, SAYING IF ELECTED HE WILL PUT MUSK IN CHARGE OF A GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY COMMISSION AND THIS WEEK WHEN POPSTAR TAYLOR SWIFT ENDORSED TRUMP'S OPPONENT MUSK RESPONDED BY POSTING THE CREEPIEST AUNT TO HER ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM HE OWNS. TRUMP CLINGS TO THE ABSOLUTE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS PEOPLE AND IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT AGAIN IT WILL BE EVEN WORSE. LAURA LOOMER IS EXHIBIT A. THE TWO SEEM TO BE RATHER INSEPARABLE LATELY, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER. THAT IS HER COMING OFF HIS PRIVATE PLANE. IN ADDITION TO BEING HIS 9/11 GUEST, SHE ACCOMPANIED TRUMP TO TUESDAY'S DEBATE IN PHILADELPHIA. SHE HAS BEEN SEEN WITH HIM IN HIS BEDMINSTER CLUB AND HER NAME HAS BEEN ON TRUMP'S LIPS FOR MUCH OF THIS YEAR. >> A FRIEND OF ALL OF OURS AND THIS WOMAN IS AMAZING. LAURA LOOMER, WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE? SHE IS AMAZING. A FANTASTIC WOMAN. A TRUE PATRIOT. LAURA LOOMER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, LAURA. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU. YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL AND YOU ARE A VERY OPINIONATED LADY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT AND IN MY OPINION I LIKE THAT. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND EVERYBODY APPRECIATES IT. >> YES, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING ME TO SIT WITH YOU TODAY. MY PLEASURE, YOU ARE THE BEST. >> IT IS A CUTE VIDEO LIKE THEY GENUINELY SEEM TO LIKE EACH OTHER. NOW MANY REPUBLICANS ARE EXPRESSING CONCERN TO REPORTERS ABOUT LOOMER'S CLOSENESS TO TRUMP, WHICH YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF. EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR HIM THINK SHE IS A LIABILITY. OTHERS TOLD REPORTERS THAT LOOMER CONTRIBUTED TO SOME OF THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CONSPIRACY THEORIES TRUMP IS USING AS CAMPAIGN FODDER. EVEN IN THE PANTHEON OF TRUMP SYCOPHANTS, LOOMER IS A CHILLING FIGURE. A HISTORY OF RACIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIA COMMENTS. SHE GAINED NOTORIETY FOR CHAINING HERSELF TO THE DOOR OF A TWITTER OFFICE IN NEW YORK TO PROTEST THE WEBSITE BANNING HER AFTER SHE SPREAD FALSE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MULTIPLE MASS SHOOTINGS. FOR THAT BAND, SHE ALSO TWEETED HATEFUL TWEETS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS INCLUDING A STORY ABOUT THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS DYING CROSSING THE MEDITERRANEAN TO SAFETY. SHE BOASTED GOOD, CLAPPING EMOJI, HERE IS TO 2000 MORE. AFTER ELON MUSK BOUGHT TWITTER LAURA LOOMER WAS, SURPRISE SURPRISE, REINSTATED ON THE PLATFORM. THAT IS WHERE SHE CALLED 911 AND INSIDE JOB LAST YEAR, ARGUING DONALD RUMSFELD HELPED STAGE IT TO TAKE OVER THE NATIONAL SECURITY BUREAUCRACY. TWITTER IS ALSO WHERE LOOMER CALLED KAMALA HARRIS A DRUG USING PROSTITUTE. AROUND THAT TIME AS DONALD TRUMP WAS PRAISING HER AT RALLIES, WHAT A PATRIOT, LOOMER ALSO CALLED FOR THE DEATH OF TRUMP'S PERCEIVED POLITICAL ENEMIES. >> I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ENGAGED IN THE COUP AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND HAVE CAUSED, YOU KNOW, CIVIL UNREST AND CHAOS IN OUR COUNTRY FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS THROUGH CROSSFIRE HURRICANE AND ALSO THROUGH WHAT I BELIEVE ARE ILLEGAL WITCHHUNTS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW. UNCONSTITUTIONAL WITCHHUNTS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. THEY ARE TREASONOUS, THEY ARE TRAITORS. THEY SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENALTY WHEN THEY ARE JAILED IN THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION. >> IN ADVANCE OF THE DEBATE LAST WEEKEND, LOOMER ALSO TWEETED THAT IF KAMALA HARRIS WINS, THE WHITE HOUSE WILL SMELL LIKE CURRY. THE KIND OF THING YOU HEAR FROM MAYBE A SECOND GRADER ON THE PLAYGROUND. A JAB AT HER INDIAN HERITAGE THAT IS SO RACIST THAT IT GOT CALLED OUT BY A FELLOW REPUBLICAN WHO SAID THIS IS APPALLING AND RACIST. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT WHO WE ARE AS REPUBLICANS. THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT PRESIDENT TRUMP. THAT REPUBLICAN WAS MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE. YES, THE JEWISH SPACE LASERS LADY. >> HER RHETORIC AND HER TONE DOES NOT MATCH THE BASE. DOES NOT MATCH MAGA. DOES NOT MATCH MOST REPUBLICANS I KNOW AND I AM COMPLETELY DENOUNCING IT. >> HERE IS WHAT J.D. VANCE THINKS ABOUT THAT AS WELL. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE DENOUNCED IT. IN TRUTH, LOOMER IS DEPLOYING THE SAME TACTICS THAT OTHERS IN THE MAGA MOVEMENT INCLUDING THE GUY AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET HAVE USED AND USE EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT. THE BIGOTRY, THE DEFLECTION, THE CALLS TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH. YOU HEARD IT AGAIN THIS WEEK AS REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO SPREAD INCREDIBLY VIOLENT DANGEROUS LIES, FALSELY ACCUSING HAITIAN MIGRANTS IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, OF STEALING AND EATING HOUSE PETS. ALL WEEK OFFICIALS SAID IT IS A LIE, IT DID NOT HAPPEN. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY? YES, THE SPRINGFIELD CITY HALL AND OTHER MUNICIPAL FACILITIES WERE SHUT DOWN AFTER RECEIVING A BOMB THREAT. HAITIAN FAMILIES IN THAT COMMUNITY ARE KEEPING KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL AND STAYING HOME OUT OF FEAR FOR RACIST VIOLENCE. ONE WOMAN WHO SAID HER CAR HAD ITS WINDOWS BROKEN TOLD A REPORTER I HAVE TO MOVE BECAUSE THIS AREA IS NO LONGER GOOD FOR ME. I CAN'T EVEN LEAVE MY HOUSE TO GO TO WALMART, I AM ANXIOUS AND SCARED. THAT IS THE REAL TOLL FROM THE RACIST LIE PUSHED BY J.D. VANCE AND DONALD TRUMP AND IT IS A LIE TRUMP IS STILL REPEATING IN THE PAST FEW HOURS. >> THE MIGRANTS ARE WALKING OFF WITH THE TOWN'S GEESE. THEY ARE TAKING THE GEESE. YOU KNOW WHERE THE GEESE ARE? IN THE PARK AND EVEN WALKING OFF WITH THEIR PETS. MY DOG HAS BEEN TAKEN. THIS COULD ONLY HAPPEN. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE WORST. >> IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN YOUR MIND, RIGHT? AGAIN, IT IS A DISGUSTING LIE. I THINK MOST PEOPLE IN THE HERE THIS OLD MAN RANTING ABOUT IT KNOW THAT IT IS. IT IS BASED ON A FALSE RUMOR FROM A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE LATE LAST MONTH. AFTER A SPEAKER AT THE SPRINGFIELD CITY COMMISSION MEETING WARNED THAT, QUOTE, CRIME AND SAVAGERY WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH EVERY HAITIAN THAT YOU BRING IN AND THAT MAN, THAT MAN TURNED OUT TO BE THE LEADER OF A NEO-NAZI GROUP CALLING ITSELF BLOOD PRIDE. HE WAS IMMEDIATELY KICKED OUT OF THE MEETING FOR HIS RACIST RANT, BUT GUESS WHAT? NOW THEY'RE TALKING POINTS ARE THE TALKING POINTS OF DONALD TRUMP AND THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THE BLOOD PRIDE GUY RANTING ABOUT THE HAITIANS AT THE LOCAL COMMITTEE MEETING IS NOW THE VOICE OF THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY. REPUBLICANS UNDERSTAND THAT THE LIES THAT ARE PERPETUATED ABOUT IMMIGRANTS LEADS TO VIOLENCE AGAINST IMMIGRANTS AND YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW? BECAUSE I HEARD IT FROM A VERY CLOSE CONFIDANT TO TRUMP NAMED LAURA LOOMER. >> EVERY DAY WE SEE ANOTHER STORY ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS GOING TO THE RITZ CARLTON. ILLEGAL ALIENS GETTING FREE FLIGHTS. GETTING FREE CLOTHES AND FREE CELL PHONES AND SOMEONE'S GOING TO SNAP. SOMEONE'S GOING TO SNAP. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT GOING TO CARE WHAT HAPPENS. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH PEOPLE CAN TAKE. >> SHE WANTS SOMEONE TO HURT THEM. IT ALL REMINDS ME OF WHAT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS REPEATEDLY SAID ABOUT HIS DECISION TO RUN AGAINST TRUMP IN 2020. BIDEN SAID HE WANTED TO RUN BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S DEFENSE OF THE NEO-NAZIS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. THE VERY FINE PEOPLE IN TRUMP'S WORDS. BIDEN SAID CORRECTLY THAT HE WAS IN A BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE NATION. BIDEN MAY BE OUT OF THE RUNNING, BUT THAT BATTLE DOES CONTINUE. DONALD TRUMP HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN ORGANIZING AND RALLYING FORCE FOR THE ABSOLUTE WORST PEOPLE AND TENDENCIES IN THE COUNTRY. THE PEOPLE THAT MARCH WITH TORCHES. THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP AT LOCAL CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS TO SPEW RACIST BILE. FOLKS THAT CARRY A CONFEDERATE FLAG INTO THE CAPITAL. PEOPLE THAT THROW AWAY VITAL SLANDERS AGAINST IMMIGRANTS. THIS IS NOT GUILT BY ASSOCIATION. HE IS FLYING ON HER PLANE. HE IS USING HER RHETORIC. HE IS CHOOSING TO EMPOWER PEOPLE LIKE LAURA LOOMER. THOSE ARE THE SORTS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY GREATER POWER IN A SECOND TERM, I PROMISE YOU,
