- 0:56Speaker 1: All right, Wayne Allen Root, the Root, the Root, the
- 0:58Speaker 1: Root's on fire.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Another weekend is gone, another week is here, and I'm
- 1:02Speaker 3: with you starting on Monday.
- 1:04Speaker 1: What is today? The 27th of October, I believe it is.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Monday the 27th.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Can't believe that Halloween is Friday. I can't believe that
- 1:13Speaker 3: coming up very fast is Thanksgiving. I'm making all kinds
- 1:16Speaker 3: of Thanksgiving plans right now. I can't believe that Christmas
- 1:19Speaker 3: season is upon us. I can't believe my wife put
- 1:22Speaker 3: up our first Christmas tree already because she's just studying
- 1:25Speaker 3: and staring at it and trying to decide what room
- 1:29Speaker 3: it goes in and which decorations to put on it.
- 1:32Speaker 1: So we're just a little bit ahead.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I mean, we'll be putting up Christmas decorations in about
- 1:36Speaker 3: three weeks, mid-November, right around November 15th to 20th. So
- 1:40Speaker 3: she's testing some of the trees out. So we've got
- 1:42Speaker 3: trees up in my living room as we speak right now.
- 1:45Speaker 3: And soon it's going to be Christmas season. It's time
- 1:47Speaker 3: to start thinking about Christmas. And I've got all four
- 1:50Speaker 3: of my kids coming in for Christmas. Going to have
- 1:53Speaker 3: a big Christmas dinner here with all four of my kids,
- 1:56Speaker 3: one of whom just got married. So her husband will
- 1:57Speaker 3: be here. Just a lot of new stuff in my life.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Christmas season is here. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Halloween.
- 2:04Speaker 1: And Democrats have a plan. It's called trick or treat.
- 2:08Speaker 3: And that was my number one story on my Real
- 2:10Speaker 3: America's Voice TV show.
- 2:13Speaker 1: On Saturday.
- 2:15Speaker 3: My top story of the week was what's going to
- 2:17Speaker 3: happen after Halloween.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The next day is November 1st.
- 2:20Speaker 3: And when people find out that the government is still
- 2:23Speaker 3: closed and their food stamp checks are not coming, they're
- 2:26Speaker 3: going to riot. They're going to burn. They're going to loot.
- 2:29Speaker 3: And they're going to rob stores. And they're going to murder.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It's just a fact of life.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Now, whether there will still be a government lockout, government
- 2:38Speaker 3: shutdown as of next Friday and Saturday, I have no idea.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You know, this coming Friday and Saturday, I have no idea.
- 2:44Speaker 3: But if they don't settle it between now and then
- 2:47Speaker 3: and the pressure is really on them now because the
- 2:48Speaker 3: whole world now knows that the food stamps are not
- 2:51Speaker 3: coming anymore.
- 2:52Speaker 1: So without the food stamp money.
- 2:54Speaker 3: 42 million Americans get food stamps and they're all starving.
- 2:58Speaker 3: They will all starve to death because they have no money, none.
- 3:01Speaker 3: They live on food stamps. It's the most incredible thing
- 3:03Speaker 3: I've ever imagined in my life that you have a
- 3:06Speaker 3: nation with 42 million people that need food stamps to survive.
- 3:09Speaker 3: But what's gonna happen when they can't put food on
- 3:11Speaker 3: the table? They're gonna go out and they're gonna murder
- 3:13Speaker 3: and they're gonna rob and they're gonna loot and they're
- 3:15Speaker 3: gonna riot and they're gonna burn. And so a lot
- 3:18Speaker 3: of bad things are coming. A lot of bad things
- 3:20Speaker 3: are coming. I was the first to mention it last week.
- 3:23Speaker 3: And then I made up my number one story on Friday.
- 3:25Speaker 3: And now I found out on Saturday the governor of Virginia.
- 3:30Speaker 3: declares an emergency over looming loss of SNAP benefits. USDA
- 3:34Speaker 3: warns funds are running out. SNAP is food stamps. And
- 3:38Speaker 3: then DoorDash launches emergency meal drive as SNAP food stamp
- 3:42Speaker 3: crisis deepens during shutdown. Let me just, I've never read
- 3:47Speaker 3: the actual article. Let me just see what the governor
- 3:50Speaker 3: of Virginia has to say. We have warned readers of
- 3:54Speaker 3: the potential for major disruptions to the SNAP food stamp
- 3:58Speaker 3: program if the federal government remains closed. Betting odds and
- 4:01Speaker 3: limited political chatter in the Capitol Beltway this weekend suggests
- 4:05Speaker 3: a resolution to the shutdown remains muted for the moment.
- 4:10Speaker 3: In 2025, 42 million people relied on food stamps, SNAP benefits,
- 4:13Speaker 3: which accounts for 12% of the United States population. More
- 4:17Speaker 3: than enough people to create chaos as the SNAP funds
- 4:21Speaker 3: run dry during November. Due to congressional, here's what the U.S.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Department of Agriculture warned on Friday. Due to congressional Democrats'
- 4:28Speaker 3: refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution, approximately 42 million
- 4:34Speaker 3: individuals will not receive their SNAP benefits come November 1st.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I told you. That's what I've been telling people.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Now, the article says, you know, as it runs dry
- 4:42Speaker 3: over the next coming weeks, meaning throughout November, but here
- 4:46Speaker 3: it says the SNAP benefits will not receive their checks
- 4:50Speaker 3: on November 1st.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Will not. So November 1st is the bewitching hour. Trick
- 4:55Speaker 1: or treat.
- 4:56Speaker 3: You don't have your government check when you go down
- 4:58Speaker 3: to the post office. People who don't understand this are
- 5:01Speaker 3: going to find out on November 1st and they're going
- 5:03Speaker 3: to riot because, you know, again, they're going to accuse
- 5:06Speaker 3: me of being racist. The people who get food stamps
- 5:09Speaker 3: are violent people. They're not nice people. They're violent people.
- 5:12Speaker 3: They're poor people. They're uneducated people. They're unskilled people. They
- 5:15Speaker 3: have no job. And many of them commit violent acts
- 5:18Speaker 3: all the time anyway. Wait till they find out there's
- 5:20Speaker 3: no food stamps. They are going to kill somebody. They're
- 5:24Speaker 3: going to be angry and they're going to murder people.
- 5:26Speaker 3: The USDA states that SNAP's contingency fund cannot legally be
- 5:31Speaker 3: used for regular monthly benefits during a lapse in appropriation.
- 5:34Speaker 3: So look, all the big cities are going to have looting.
- 5:38Speaker 3: They're going to have organized crime. I don't mean organized
- 5:41Speaker 3: crime like the mafia. I mean organized theft rings. You know,
- 5:45Speaker 3: rings of illegal aliens, rings of people in inner cities
- 5:49Speaker 3: who are robbing and stealing. And on the topic of
- 5:52Speaker 3: this government shutdown, the largest federal worker union.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Sides with the GOP to end the shutdown.
- 6:00Speaker 3: The nation's largest union of federal workers has called on
- 6:03Speaker 3: Congress to pass a clean short-term funding bill to immediately
- 6:07Speaker 3: end the government shutdown. Now in its fourth week, it
- 6:09Speaker 3: represents over 800,000 federal government workers. The American Federation of
- 6:13Speaker 3: Government Employees argued the shutdown was an avoidable crisis that
- 6:17Speaker 3: harms American families and workers nationwide. It's time to pass
- 6:21Speaker 3: a clean, continuing resolution and end the shutdown today. And
- 6:27Speaker 3: the only way to pass a clean, continuing resolution is
- 6:30Speaker 3: to do it the Republican way, because they're the ones
- 6:31Speaker 3: who want to do that. So it's time to faint.
- 6:34Speaker 3: It's time to scream. You know, those ads for Southwest Airlines.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Southwest is now assigning seats to the woman. The woman,
- 6:41Speaker 3: she grabs a watermelon and breaks it on the ground.
- 6:43Speaker 3: That's what you got to do when you hear a union,
- 6:45Speaker 3: a government employee union, siding with the GOP.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And put the watermelon on the ground.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Task forces launched to eliminate violent crime by foreign gangs
- 6:56Speaker 3: and cartels.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I think this is significant news.
- 6:59Speaker 3: The FBI and Homeland Security investigations have introduced new task
- 7:03Speaker 3: forces to crack down on foreign gangs operating in the
- 7:08Speaker 3: United States. The FBI said in a statement released October 24th.
- 7:13Speaker 3: These new teams known as the Homeland Security Task Force
- 7:16Speaker 3: bring together FBI and HSI personnel, meaning Homeland Security Investigations personnel,
- 7:22Speaker 3: as well as task force officers from local, state, and
- 7:24Speaker 3: federal partner agencies to investigate transnational organized crime activity, such
- 7:30Speaker 3: as drug trafficking and human trafficking that occurs across all
- 7:34Speaker 3: 50 states, the nation's capital, and Puerto Rico. So we're
- 7:38Speaker 3: now putting together task forces with FBI and Homeland Security
- 7:41Speaker 3: investigators and other law enforcement officials to go after one
- 7:45Speaker 3: specific target, gangs, transnational gangs, and cartel gangs, which is
- 7:51Speaker 3: good news. Speaking of Latinos and all these gangs and
- 7:55Speaker 3: all these cartels, which are all in Mexico and Latin America,
- 7:58Speaker 3: South America, Central America, Latin American political earthquake, Malay, Javier Malay,
- 8:05Speaker 3: had a surprise.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Midterm landslide victory in Argentina. God bless. I was about
- 8:09Speaker 1: to say God bless America. But God bless Argentina. Wow.
- 8:15Speaker 1: That is amazing that nobody expected this, I guess. Nobody
- 8:20Speaker 1: expected it.
- 8:21Speaker 3: So I think we're going to be OK around the world.
- 8:24Speaker 3: People are voting for conservatism. And what's interesting is and
- 8:28Speaker 3: I have an article here, if I could find it.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I don't know where I put it now.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But it was an article about the fact that.
- 8:35Speaker 3: That in both California and I guess it's New York,
- 8:39Speaker 3: they're planning on massive new tax increases. Democrats don't have
- 8:43Speaker 3: any money. And the reason they don't have money, it's
- 8:45Speaker 3: a vicious cycle. When you have high taxes and you
- 8:48Speaker 3: have 50 states, you can choose to move anytime you want.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Anybody can choose to pick up and move themselves, their assets,
- 8:54Speaker 3: their businesses, their income, and they could move to Texas,
- 8:58Speaker 3: which has zero income tax, Florida, which has zero income tax, Nevada,
- 9:01Speaker 3: which has zero income tax, Tennessee, which has zero income tax. Wyoming,
- 9:06Speaker 3: which has zero income tax, right? That's just a few examples.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Or they can move to lower tax states that don't
- 9:11Speaker 3: have zero, but very low taxes, like Utah or Arizona
- 9:15Speaker 3: or North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. All of them far
- 9:19Speaker 3: lower taxes than, say, New York or New Jersey or California.
- 9:23Speaker 3: And people are moving with their feet, as I predicted
- 9:26Speaker 3: in my book, Millionaire Republican, in 2005.
- 9:30Speaker 1: I wrote a book in 2005 that.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Said the whole nation was going to start moving And
- 9:33Speaker 3: we were going to have an American divorce.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And that's what's happening. You don't need to actually have
- 9:39Speaker 1: a civil war. And you don't even need to have
- 9:40Speaker 1: an official divorce.
- 9:42Speaker 3: All you have to do is if everyone in America
- 9:44Speaker 3: leaves blue states and goes to red states, we will
- 9:47Speaker 3: have all the power, all the electoral votes, all the money.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And those states will be left as bankrupt, rotting pieces
- 9:54Speaker 3: of crap. And they're just dead. And America will have won.
- 9:58Speaker 3: We will have won a civil war. without firing a shot.
- 10:01Speaker 3: That's my great American divorce. If every conservative in California
- 10:05Speaker 3: and Oregon and Washington and Illinois and New York.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And did I say California? I hope I said California. No,
- 10:13Speaker 1: I didn't. All right. California, Oregon.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Washington, let's move around the country, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.
- 10:20Speaker 3: If all these liberal states, Maryland, Vermont, Hawaii, Massachusetts, otherwise
- 10:26Speaker 3: known as Taxachusetts, if they all lose all the Republicans
- 10:30Speaker 3: who are the people that make all the money and
- 10:32Speaker 3: have all the assets and own all the businesses. and
- 10:35Speaker 3: pay all the taxes, and those people move to Florida, Texas, Nevada, Wyoming, Tennessee,
- 10:41Speaker 3: South Carolina, North Carolina, Arizona, Utah, Georgia, then the Republican
- 10:46Speaker 3: red states will control America, and the blue states will
- 10:49Speaker 3: all be out of business, and it's happening. They're voting
- 10:51Speaker 3: that way in Argentina. They're voting that way in other
- 10:54Speaker 3: countries around the world. Why the hell aren't they voting
- 10:57Speaker 3: that way in Blue states, because the blue states let
- 10:59Speaker 3: in all the illegal foreigners. Same reason Mamdani is winning
- 11:03Speaker 3: in New York City. It's all foreigners now, don't you
- 11:05Speaker 3: get it? The great American divorce, we can win without
- 11:09Speaker 3: firing a shot and without hiring.
- 11:10Speaker 1: A divorce attorney, okay?
- 11:12Speaker 3: It can be won just if we all move and
- 11:14Speaker 3: bring all our money to red states.
- 11:16Speaker 1: It's all over for the blue states. New York City
- 11:19Speaker 1: is done. It's finished. Mandami is going to be the
- 11:22Speaker 1: final curse of New York. Say goodbye. It's going to
- 11:26Speaker 1: be a foreign state.
- 11:27Speaker 3: In the middle of the United States filled with Muslims,
- 11:30Speaker 3: illegal aliens, Muslim radicals who hate America, hate white people
- 11:34Speaker 3: and want to kill Jews, and illegal aliens who all
- 11:36Speaker 3: need welfare cradled to grave and food stamps cradled to
- 11:39Speaker 3: grave and everybody on welfare.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And that's it. That'll be New York City and that'll
- 11:43Speaker 1: be New York State.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Bye-bye.
- 11:45Speaker 1: We'll see you in a sec. Hi, this is Wayne
- 11:51Speaker 1: Allyn Root for Augusta Precious Metals.
- 11:53Speaker 3: There's a new report out that Americans are outliving their
- 11:55Speaker 3: retirement savings, leaving them in a doomed position. That's because
- 11:59Speaker 3: their retirement was set up the same old way, using
- 12:01Speaker 3: outdated strategies from the 1970s. This may be good for
- 12:04Speaker 3: financial advisors and retirement companies, but often it leaves your
- 12:07Speaker 3: life savings positioned poorly. That's why my friends at Augusta

- 12:50Speaker 3: Hi, this is Wayne Allyn Root for Patriot Critical Minerals.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Here's the raw truth.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Our military dominance, our economic strength, and even our freedom
- 12:57Speaker 3: itself depends on one critical metal most Americans have never
- 13:00Speaker 3: heard of, tungsten. Tungsten is the metal of strength. It's
- 13:03Speaker 3: what hardens our tanks, powers our jet fighters, drives our
- 13:06Speaker 3: missiles and puts steel behind every round of ammunition.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Here's the danger.
- 13:10Speaker 3: China controls 80 percent of the world's supply and 90
- 13:13Speaker 3: percent of production. If China cuts us off, America's military power,
- 13:17Speaker 3: economy and independence all hangs in the balance.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Here's the good news. We have the solution. Patriot Critical Minerals,
- 13:23Speaker 1: home to.
- 13:24Speaker 3: The most advanced tungsten deposit in the entire USA of
- 13:27Speaker 3: over 19 million tons. This is the kind of discovery
- 13:30Speaker 3: that can change the game enough to break China's stranglehold
- 13:32Speaker 3: on tungsten. There has never been a better moment to
- 13:35Speaker 3: invest in tungsten. Patriot Critical Minerals isn't just about mining.
- 13:39Speaker 3: It's about securing our freedom and protecting our homeland. To
- 13:42Speaker 3: learn about investment opportunities with Patriot Critical Minerals, go to patriotcritical.com.

- 13:51Speaker 3: Hi, this is Wayne Allyn Root for VRA Vertical Research Advisory.

- 15:06Speaker 1: All right, Wayne Allyn Root.
- 15:07Speaker 3: A lot of people think this stuff must be scripted. Well,
- 15:09Speaker 3: you know, if I was Hannity or Laura Ingraham, yeah,
- 15:11Speaker 3: it's scripted. But Wayne Root does everything off the top
- 15:14Speaker 3: of his head. And I made that up off the
- 15:16Speaker 3: top of my head. The Great American Divorce has been
- 15:18Speaker 3: my idea for a long time. But I never knew
- 15:20Speaker 3: how it would happen until I.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Just made it up just now. If everybody moves from
- 15:26Speaker 1: blue states to red states.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Everybody, not meaning everyone, but I mean a large amount
- 15:31Speaker 3: of the population. with all the money, the retirees and
- 15:34Speaker 3: the business owners and the high income people and the
- 15:37Speaker 3: high asset people, If we all move to red states,
- 15:40Speaker 3: which I did in 2002. First, I moved in 1989
- 15:44Speaker 3: from New York to California when I thought California was
- 15:47Speaker 3: a red state. And then when it turned totally blue
- 15:49Speaker 3: in 2002, I moved to Nevada and Nevada is quickly
- 15:53Speaker 3: turning all red again. Nevada went from red to blue
- 15:55Speaker 3: to purple, purple, leaning, leaning blue, leaning Democrat to now
- 16:00Speaker 3: being a red state again. Again, it depends what happens
- 16:03Speaker 3: in the midterms. as far as congressional seats, but I
- 16:05Speaker 3: know just the other day Nevada Republican Party announced that
- 16:09Speaker 3: we have more Republicans registered in Nevada than Democrats for
- 16:12Speaker 3: the first time in, I don't know, 20 years? And maybe,
- 16:15Speaker 3: you know, one of the only two times maybe in
- 16:17Speaker 3: the last 50 years? Republicans now outnumber Democrats in Nevada.
- 16:22Speaker 3: That's a miracle, okay? We were down by hundreds of
- 16:25Speaker 3: thousands just a few years ago, and we've caught up
- 16:28Speaker 3: and passed them. And the reason why is the same
- 16:31Speaker 3: reason Florida went from a blue state, or certainly a
- 16:34Speaker 3: purple state that could go either way, but leaned Democrat.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Most of the major office.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Holders at the beginning of the year 2000 in Florida
- 16:42Speaker 3: were Democrats. And they had Democrat governors and Democrat senators.
- 16:47Speaker 3: And remember the hanging chads? It was an even-steven state
- 16:52Speaker 3: for the presidential election between Bush and that a-hole Al Gore.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Thank God we kept him away from the White House forevermore.
- 17:01Speaker 3: That climate change fraud Al Gore lost by hanging chads.
- 17:05Speaker 3: By the skin of his you-know-what, he lost an election
- 17:08Speaker 3: and we never saw him again.
- 17:09Speaker 1: He grew a beard and disappeared.
- 17:11Speaker 3: And had sex with men that he invited to his
- 17:14Speaker 3: room to give him a massage.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Wasn't that a thing?
- 17:17Speaker 3: Didn't some male masseuse go to give a massage to
- 17:20Speaker 3: Al Gore and claim that he suddenly tried to have
- 17:24Speaker 3: sex with him? I'm pretty sure, unless I dreamed that
- 17:27Speaker 3: one up, it was a dream in the middle of
- 17:29Speaker 3: the night.
- 17:29Speaker 1: I was sleeping and I dreamt it. I'm pretty sure
- 17:32Speaker 1: that happened.
- 17:32Speaker 3: He accused Al Gore of trying to have sex with
- 17:35Speaker 3: him in his hotel room. That makes all the sense
- 17:37Speaker 3: in the world. That's what Al Gore was driven to.
- 17:40Speaker 3: after losing the election. And losing an election by a
- 17:43Speaker 3: hanging chad is enough to turn you into a gay man.
- 17:46Speaker 3: So Al Gore was gone at that point, boom, and
- 17:51Speaker 3: suddenly now Florida's the most Republican state in America.
- 17:53Speaker 1: How'd that happen?
- 17:54Speaker 3: Because all of New York and New Jersey and Connecticut
- 17:57Speaker 3: and Pennsylvania.
- 17:59Speaker 1: All the blue states moved to Florida.
- 18:02Speaker 3: And they made it a red state because the people
- 18:04Speaker 3: moving from the blue states were not blue Democrats, they
- 18:06Speaker 3: were Republicans running away from the blue state. And they
- 18:10Speaker 3: turned Florida into a red state because so many of
- 18:13Speaker 3: them came there. Same thing is happening in Nevada. Everyone
- 18:16Speaker 3: is leaving California and a few New Yorkers are moving
- 18:18Speaker 3: here too. I'm moving to Las Vegas, but everyone's leaving
- 18:22Speaker 3: California for either Reno or Las Vegas. And they're turning
- 18:25Speaker 3: us into a red state because the people running away
- 18:28Speaker 3: are all Republican voters. So Nevada has suddenly become red.
- 18:32Speaker 3: That's why we elected Trump in the 2024 election. That's
- 18:35Speaker 3: why we elected a Republican governor and lieutenant governor in 2022.
- 18:41Speaker 3: midterm elections, even though we had mostly Democrats in every
- 18:44Speaker 3: other office. But we're starting to tip red again, and
- 18:48Speaker 3: I think it's going to get really strong, like a
- 18:50Speaker 3: snowball going downhill. That's how you win the great American divorce.
- 18:55Speaker 3: If the most powerful states in America, with all the senators, Jimmy,
- 18:58Speaker 3: all the congressmen, senators are two, no matter what you
- 19:01Speaker 3: do or don't do, you have two from each state.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Even Delaware is two. Even Rhode Island has two. Even
- 19:06Speaker 3: Hawaii has two. California only gets two, no matter how
- 19:09Speaker 3: many people they've got. So we can't change the Senate,
- 19:12Speaker 3: but we can change the House dramatically to an all-red
- 19:16Speaker 3: Republican House, and we'll keep the Senate red, and we'll
- 19:18Speaker 3: have the presidency, because we'll change all the electoral votes red,
- 19:22Speaker 3: too many red ones, and the Democrats will not be
- 19:24Speaker 3: able to win anymore. All the states that matter will
- 19:27Speaker 3: keep growing, and they'll all be Republican red states, and
- 19:30Speaker 3: their economies will grow, and the Democrat states will collapse,
- 19:34Speaker 3: and we turn America into a red Republican country. That's
- 19:39Speaker 3: the great American divorce. All right, VRA is the main

- 22:14Speaker 3: blank pages.
- 22:17Speaker 1: They're all blank. Look, there's nothing in the book. It's
- 22:19Speaker 1: just blank pages. It could be renamed everything that Obama knows.
- 22:25Speaker 1: It could be blank, too.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Everything that Biden knows, blank. Everything Kamala knows, blank. This
- 22:31Speaker 3: is how Democrats have made America great.
- 22:32Speaker 1: They have it. But it's a funny book.
- 22:35Speaker 3: It's a great gift to give to all your Republican
- 22:38Speaker 3: friends and also to rib all your liberal friends.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Watch their heads explode.

- 22:50Speaker 3: My conservative friends sent me a book, How Democrats Have
- 22:52Speaker 3: Made America... It's blank.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Ah! And their brains will explode. It's great. So go
- 22:58Speaker 1: to Amazon. Amazon.
- 23:00Speaker 3: It is a number one bestseller at Amazon. How Democrats
- 23:03Speaker 3: Have Made America Great. Perfect Christmas gift. Buy 20 of them.
- 23:06Speaker 3: Give them out to all your conservative and liberal friends.
- 23:08Speaker 4: I know.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I gotcha. I gotcha. Patriot Critical Minerals is the sponsor.
- 23:14Speaker 1: of this segment of the show. Here's the raw truth.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Our military dominance, our economic strength, even our freedom itself
- 23:20Speaker 3: depends on one critical metal. Most Americans have never heard
- 23:23Speaker 3: of tungsten. Tungsten is the metal of strength. It's what
- 23:25Speaker 3: hardens our tanks, powers our fighter jets, drives our missiles,
- 23:29Speaker 3: puts steel.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Behind every round of ammo. Here's the danger.
- 23:32Speaker 3: China controls 80% of the world's supply, 90% of the
- 23:35Speaker 3: world's production.
- 23:36Speaker 1: If China cuts us off, we are up the river
- 23:38Speaker 1: without a paddle, without a boat or a paddle. Here's
- 23:41Speaker 1: the good news. We have the solution.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Patriot Critical Minerals, home to the most advanced tungsten deposit
- 23:47Speaker 3: in the entire U.S., over 19 million tons. the kind
- 23:51Speaker 3: of discovery that can change the game enough to fuel
- 23:53Speaker 3: America's defense industry, support our economy, and break China's stranglehold
- 23:58Speaker 3: on Tungsten. There's never been a better moment to invest
- 24:01Speaker 3: in Tungsten. Patriot Critical Minerals isn't just about mining. It's
- 24:04Speaker 3: about securing our freedom and protecting our homeland. To learn
- 24:08Speaker 3: more about investment opportunities with Patriot Critical Minerals, go to patriotcritical.com.
- 24:12Speaker 1: That's patriotcritical.com. All right, we've got the guest. Michelle Steeb
- 24:19Speaker 1: is with us.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Visiting fellow at the Discovery Institute's Fix Homelessness Initiative, author
- 24:26Speaker 3: of Answers Behind the Red Door, Battling the Homeless Epidemic.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Michelle Steeb, welcome to the Wayne Allyn Root Show. How
- 24:33Speaker 1: are you?
- 24:34Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I'm really looking forward to our discussion.
- 24:37Speaker 4: I think I'm going to steal your idea, too, and
- 24:39Speaker 4: I'm going to say I'm going to write a book
- 24:41Speaker 4: called How the Homeless Industrial Complex Fixed Homelessness And it's
- 24:46Speaker 4: going to have a whole bunch of blank pages. And
- 24:48Speaker 4: I'm going to become an Amazon bestseller.
- 24:51Speaker 1: That's a good idea. How the Democrats saved homelessness. And
- 24:54Speaker 1: the whole book is blank.
- 24:56Speaker 3: All right. So you just released a bombshell report, Michelle Steeve.
- 25:01Speaker 3: exposing how radical left organizations have embedded themselves within the
- 25:06Speaker 3: homelessness advocacy groups.
- 25:09Speaker 1: What exactly is going on? What are they doing?
- 25:12Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to make a big guess here. I'll
- 25:14Speaker 3: bet I'll turn out to be right.
- 25:15Speaker 1: It's just about the money. That's it.
- 25:17Speaker 3: They're trying to get rich off homeless people while they
- 25:20Speaker 3: do absolutely nothing for homeless people while they talk all
- 25:23Speaker 3: day about how wonderful and liberal and progressive they are
- 25:25Speaker 3: because all they.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Do is help homeless people when they don't help them
- 25:28Speaker 1: at all. Am I about right?
- 25:30Speaker 4: Well, the data proves you right. So if I may
- 25:34Speaker 4: just give a little context. So in 2013, President Obama
- 25:40Speaker 4: unveiled a whole new approach to homelessness. It was actually
- 25:44Speaker 4: a one size fits all approach called Housing First. And
- 25:48Speaker 4: he promised that this approach, which was basically giving housing
- 25:53Speaker 4: subsidies to the homeless, not any funding for services or
- 26:00Speaker 4: treatment such as mental health treatment, drug and alcohol treatment,
- 26:05Speaker 4: that just giving them housing subsidies was going to end
- 26:09Speaker 4: homelessness in a decade. He literally promised that. And 12
- 26:13Speaker 4: years later, we're at the highest point ever recorded in
- 26:16Speaker 4: our nation's history, almost 35 percent increase, despite a 300
- 26:18Speaker 4: percent increase. Increase in public money under housing firms. So
- 26:28Speaker 4: it's just been a massive failure. And the homeless industrial
- 26:32Speaker 4: complex has benefited tremendously from this incredible amount of money
- 26:39Speaker 4: that's gone into.
- 26:40Speaker 1: They've gotten rich.
- 26:41Speaker 4: The homeless are the ones who are suffering in despair.
- 26:45Speaker 1: They've gotten rich, right? I mean, that's what it comes
- 26:46Speaker 1: down to. Let me ask you a question.
- 26:49Speaker 3: This is off script, off questions, just off the top
- 26:52Speaker 3: of my head because I think this all the time.
- 26:54Speaker 3: It should be really hard to be homeless in America
- 26:57Speaker 3: because there's so many welfare programs and it's so easy
- 27:01Speaker 3: to get welfare and it's so easy to get food stamps.
- 27:03Speaker 3: It's so easy to get disability. There's a million government programs.
- 27:07Speaker 3: In Democrat states, everybody gets them. So how do you
- 27:10Speaker 3: even wind up.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Homeless unless you have mental illness or a major drug
- 27:15Speaker 1: and alcohol problem?
- 27:16Speaker 3: It would be almost impossible to not get checks from
- 27:18Speaker 3: the government so you would not become homeless, right?
- 27:21Speaker 4: Well, I think it's, so mental illness and addiction are significant,
- 27:28Speaker 4: what I call accompanying factors. They accompany about, in terms
- 27:34Speaker 4: of homelessness, they, about 80% of the homeless are struggling
- 27:37Speaker 4: with one or both of those. So yes, those are,
- 27:41Speaker 4: they're not necessarily drivers. Sometimes they're a result of the homelessness.
- 27:47Speaker 4: So what is the driver?
- 27:48Speaker 1: What is the driver?
- 27:49Speaker 4: Well, it's a myriad of issues. So generational poverty is one, right?
- 27:55Speaker 4: Having grown up in a family where the parent or
- 28:00Speaker 4: parents didn't work. There was domestic violence. There was maybe
- 28:05Speaker 4: addiction issues. And that's what you learn, right? That's how
- 28:09Speaker 4: you learn to exist. But there's also drivers like domestic
- 28:13Speaker 4: violence in the female population and And criminal histories is
- 28:18Speaker 4: also a very difficult barrier for the homeless to overcome
- 28:22Speaker 4: because they, you know, criminal histories prevent you from getting housing.
- 28:27Speaker 1: From getting a job.
- 28:28Speaker 4: From getting jobs.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Right.
- 28:30Speaker 4: There's a myriad of issues that, you know, lead to it. And,
- 28:34Speaker 4: you know, there is a small, you know, there's an
- 28:37Speaker 4: affordable housing crisis in our country. I will say there
- 28:41Speaker 4: was an affordable housing crisis when they rolled out this
- 28:44Speaker 4: policy that is completely dependent on the availability of affordable
- 28:48Speaker 4: housing for the homeless. So it's really crazy that, you know,
- 28:53Speaker 4: we were dead out of the gate when this solution
- 28:56Speaker 4: was introduced in 2013. But bottom line is housing subsidies
- 29:02Speaker 4: alone aren't going to fix this. You need a myriad
- 29:05Speaker 4: of services. The president finally, within four months of taking office,
- 29:12Speaker 4: issued an EO where he basically said this is not working.
- 29:16Speaker 4: Clearly it's not, right? We can all see it. But
- 29:19Speaker 4: the data supports that as well, as we discussed earlier.
- 29:23Speaker 4: And he said, for homelessness funding, we need to reprioritize
- 29:27Speaker 4: mental health treatment, drug and alcohol treatment. We need to
- 29:30Speaker 4: clear these encampments, move people into recovery and restorative programs.
- 29:36Speaker 4: And we're going to start to see a very big shift.
- 29:41Speaker 4: as government opens back up and as HUD begins to
- 29:45Speaker 4: fund recovery and restoration oriented programs.
- 29:49Speaker 3: So your site in your report, you cite in your report,
- 29:54Speaker 3: I should say, that the 2013 policy change by HUD
- 29:58Speaker 3: allowed all this to happen. What was this policy change?
- 30:02Speaker 3: And by the way, Obama was president in 2013. So
- 30:05Speaker 3: the man who claimed he cared so much about the
- 30:07Speaker 3: homeless and was such a big.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Democrat liberal, Barack Obama, was president of the United States.
- 30:12Speaker 3: So what was the policy change that kind of supercharged
- 30:15Speaker 3: and led to this giant rise in homelessness?
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 4: So up until 2013, HUD, which is, you know, the
- 30:25Speaker 4: federal government is the largest funder of homelessness, and HUD
- 30:29Speaker 4: is the agency that really does most homelessness work. Up
- 30:34Speaker 4: until 2013, we funded Mental health treatment, we funded drug
- 30:39Speaker 4: and alcohol treatment in conjunction with different forms of housing, shelters,
- 30:44Speaker 4: transitional housing, and some permanent housing. We also funded employment training.
- 30:50Speaker 4: But in 2013, they said, nope, we're going to take
- 30:54Speaker 4: all that money and we're just going to fund housing subsidies.
- 30:58Speaker 4: And despite massive increases in housing subsidies, homelessness started to
- 31:04Speaker 4: go up. Because there's so many accompanying issues, as we've
- 31:08Speaker 4: discussed on this program, and those were not being addressed.
- 31:13Speaker 4: And so people, when mental illness and addiction are diseases
- 31:18Speaker 4: of the brain, and when diseases go untreated, just like
- 31:22Speaker 4: cancer or cardiac conditions, when they go untreated, they get worse.
- 31:31Speaker 4: And this is what's happening.
- 31:33Speaker 1: The people.
- 31:34Speaker 4: with these diseases have gotten much worse. In fact, there's
- 31:37Speaker 4: a study, a long-term study that was done in Boston,
- 31:42Speaker 4: and it followed the homeless who were struggling with addiction
- 31:48Speaker 4: and mental illness who were placed in housing without those services.
- 31:52Speaker 4: By year five, nearly half of them were dead. Nearly
- 31:54Speaker 4: half of them. So it just it's not worked. And
- 32:00Speaker 4: the president, thank God, has turned the ship in the
- 32:03Speaker 4: right direction with his executive order. We've got a lot
- 32:07Speaker 4: of work ahead to build a system that can help
- 32:09Speaker 4: these people heal. And, you know, prosper. But it's good
- 32:14Speaker 4: work to be focused on.
- 32:16Speaker 3: You know, bad habits lead to bad lives. And not
- 32:20Speaker 3: only do homeless people have bad habits, but, you know,
- 32:22Speaker 3: I've known people, none of the people I knew were homeless.
- 32:24Speaker 1: They had bad habits and they all met bad ends.
- 32:26Speaker 3: You know, I used to own a company in Las Vegas,
- 32:28Speaker 3: a gambling company in Las Vegas years ago.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I had 150 employees. This is an interesting story, Michelle.
- 32:33Speaker 1: All of them, all of them were men.
- 32:35Speaker 3: I had a very male-oriented telephone room, phone, you know,
- 32:40Speaker 3: telephone room.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Phone room.
- 32:42Speaker 3: And it just so happened it was just all guys.
- 32:44Speaker 3: I mean, it was like three women and 147 men.
- 32:47Speaker 3: And they all were like going to strip clubs and
- 32:50Speaker 3: they were drunks and they were doing drugs. They were
- 32:52Speaker 3: smoking marijuana and they were they were using their money
- 32:55Speaker 3: on a Friday to go to strip clubs and hookers
- 32:58Speaker 3: over the weekend. On Monday, they'd asked me for a loan.
- 33:00Speaker 3: I go, I just paid you a huge amount of money.
- 33:03Speaker 3: You made ten thousand dollars on Friday. They said, I
- 33:05Speaker 3: went to the casino in the strip club.
- 33:06Speaker 1: It's gone. Well, it's now all these years later. I
- 33:09Speaker 1: was 15 years ago.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Today, I'm a talk show host, and I don't have
- 33:12Speaker 3: a room full of all these guys. And I got
- 33:14Speaker 3: to tell you, all of them were educated men, by
- 33:15Speaker 3: the way.
- 33:16Speaker 1: But they had bad habits.
- 33:17Speaker 3: And they were in Las Vegas where lots of people
- 33:19Speaker 3: have bad habits. Today, almost every one of them is dead.
- 33:22Speaker 1: They're all dead.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Everyone that ever worked for me has died or met
- 33:26Speaker 3: a very bad end.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Oh, they're giving me out. Stay there. We'll grab you
- 33:29Speaker 1: for the next segment. Don't go anywhere. All right, a
- 33:34Speaker 1: special treat for you.
- 33:35Speaker 3: I want to introduce you to a real hero of
- 33:37Speaker 3: the American energy industry, a legend, Mark Bruner, founder and
- 33:41Speaker 3: CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. In the United States,
- 33:45Speaker 3: Lost Soldier is the last major BCGA, Basin Centered Gas Accumulation.
- 33:52Speaker 3: This is code for a monster field where gas or
- 33:55Speaker 3: oil is in a basin, which makes the drilling and
- 33:57Speaker 3: production much easier. Mark, you're a legend in the oil
- 34:01Speaker 3: industry and the gas industry.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Tell us about your track record.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Well, I'm a second-generation oil and gas guy. My father,
- 34:09Speaker 2: in the early 1950s, started a company called Techstar. It
- 34:12Speaker 2: later became Texas Oil and Gas. When it sold out
- 34:15Speaker 2: to U.S. Steel, it was the largest independent in the world.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Delhi Pipelines was the largest gas distribution system in the
- 34:22Speaker 2: United States when it sold out to U.S.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Steel.
- 34:25Speaker 2: I worked with him for four years. I've been in
- 34:27Speaker 2: the oil and gas business ever since. You would probably
- 34:30Speaker 2: know me better as the chairman of Ultra Petroleum. And
- 34:34Speaker 2: I Ultra had a pretty good track record, which you're
- 34:37Speaker 2: very familiar with, I think.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Well, I think a $ 10, 000 investor in Ultra turned it
- 34:43Speaker 3: into $ 13 million.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Is that correct? In the nine-year run of your publicly
- 34:47Speaker 1: traded company?
- 34:48Speaker 2: Yeah, at the high, that's true.
- 34:50Speaker 3: $ 10, 000 turned into $ 13 million. That means $ 100, 000 turned into
- 34:54Speaker 3: $ 130 million.
- 34:55Speaker 1: That's an incredible track record.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Now tell me why this deal, Lost Soldier, this project
- 35:01Speaker 3: is so important. I hear about projects and deals all
- 35:04Speaker 3: the time. What makes this one special, Mark?
- 35:07Speaker 2: What's special about this is all the other basins in
- 35:10Speaker 2: the United States have been drilled. We've known for 50
- 35:12Speaker 2: years what they are. This one could not be drilled
- 35:15Speaker 2: because there was a uranium mine out here. Until it
- 35:18Speaker 2: was reclamated three years ago, no one could drill it.
- 35:21Speaker 2: This is surrounded by large oil and gas fields with
- 35:25Speaker 2: billions of dollars of infrastructure that at this point is
- 35:28Speaker 2: 85% empty. So we made this discovery. We are the
- 35:32Speaker 2: only operator in this field. And right now we can
- 35:36Speaker 2: see that we've got enough room for 500 horizontal wells
- 35:39Speaker 2: out here with what we've drilled so far. Very exciting.
- 35:43Speaker 2: It's the new basin in the United States. And as
- 35:46Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, this is an order of magnitude
- 35:49Speaker 2: bigger than Ultra Petroleum, the one that I did.
- 35:52Speaker 3: All right.

- 38:07Speaker 3: All right, we're back with Michelle Steeb, Visiting Fellow at
- 38:11Speaker 3: Discovery Institute's Fix Homelessness Initiative, author of Answers Behind the
- 38:16Speaker 3: Red Door, Battling the Homeless Epidemic. So, Michelle, I'm sitting
- 38:22Speaker 3: here with my good friend, Pitar, my director, who's directed
- 38:24Speaker 3: me on TV for 35 years now. since I became
- 38:29Speaker 3: the youngest anchorman in America at age 26 back in 1989.
- 38:33Speaker 3: I'm a dinosaur, I'm a fossil. I've been on TV
- 38:37Speaker 3: for 40 years. But Pitar and I both lived in California.
- 38:41Speaker 3: I lived in Malibu, he lived in Santa Monica. And
- 38:43Speaker 3: we both saw homeless people all the time in Santa
- 38:47Speaker 3: Monica living by the beach.
- 38:49Speaker 1: And it's because California has great weather, right?
- 38:51Speaker 3: If you're homeless and you don't live in California as
- 38:53Speaker 3: opposed to like Illinois, you gotta be insane, right?
- 38:56Speaker 1: And they offer the most money, the biggest benefits. You
- 38:59Speaker 1: get the most money if you go to California and
- 39:01Speaker 1: you're poor.
- 39:02Speaker 3: So the homeless all go to Santa Monica and California
- 39:06Speaker 3: in general. And so I'm just gonna ask you about California.
- 39:10Speaker 3: It's the state with the most homeless people, I think
- 39:12Speaker 3: by a mile, right? It's the homeless epicenter of America.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Yes, it has about 40% of the nation's overall unsheltered population.
- 39:24Speaker 3: 40%.
- 39:24Speaker 1: That's amazing.
- 39:26Speaker 4: Five percent of the overall homeless population in the country
- 39:30Speaker 4: and i want to point out an important fact we
- 39:33Speaker 4: talked about housing first the policy that hud rolled out
- 39:37Speaker 4: in 2013 that was all focused on housing subsidies only
- 39:42Speaker 4: right right In 2016, California was the only state in
- 39:48Speaker 4: the nation to follow the feds in adopting housing first.
- 39:52Speaker 4: So that meant all the federal money in the state
- 39:54Speaker 4: went to housing subsidies and all the state money went
- 39:57Speaker 4: to housing subsidies. California's increase in homelessness since 2016 is
- 40:02Speaker 4: 40 percent. Massive failure across the country. the massive failure
- 40:10Speaker 4: in California. And it's largely because there's no accountability in
- 40:15Speaker 4: the system, not at the individual level. You get a
- 40:18Speaker 4: housing subsidy for life. You never have to work. You
- 40:21Speaker 4: don't have to get sober. You don't have to do
- 40:23Speaker 4: anything to really participate in your life. And at the
- 40:27Speaker 4: nonprofit level, there's a lot of great nonprofits, but HUD
- 40:31Speaker 4: is not holding them to account. You should be able to.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Get money the following year as a non-profit if you
- 40:41Speaker 4: actually solve homelessness for the people you're serving, right? If
- 40:45Speaker 4: you get them out of homelessness, that's not what they're
- 40:50Speaker 4: being held to account for. They're being held to account
- 40:52Speaker 4: for how many people get housing subsidies. That's it.
- 40:57Speaker 3: It's all basically money laundering.
- 41:00Speaker 1: That's what's going on is it's money laundering.
- 41:02Speaker 3: They're taking in you know, 70 grand per person that
- 41:05Speaker 3: they help and they keep 50 of it.
- 41:06Speaker 1: And maybe they give.
- 41:07Speaker 3: 20 to the problem of homelessness. So they're getting rich,
- 41:10Speaker 3: but the homeless are not getting the money and the
- 41:12Speaker 3: problem isn't being solved. So how do we stop the
- 41:14Speaker 3: money laundering? Give me like a close now. This is
- 41:17Speaker 3: your closing moment for how we change things and stop
- 41:21Speaker 3: the money laundering by.
- 41:22Speaker 1: Primarily liberal Democrat funded groups, by the way.
- 41:26Speaker 4: So I encourage all of your readers and listeners and
- 41:31Speaker 4: viewers to read the Infiltrated Report. It's called the Infiltrated Report.
- 41:37Speaker 4: You can get it at discovery.com, Discovery Institute. It's Capital
- 41:42Speaker 4: Research Center Report. We collaborated with them. It is 54
- 41:47Speaker 4: pages of sources showing how Radical left groups have infiltrated
- 41:53Speaker 4: the homeless advocacy organizations. They share donors. They share strategies.
- 42:00Speaker 4: And they have gotten rich off of this. Do you
- 42:03Speaker 4: remember the Supreme Court?
- 42:07Speaker 1: Oh, we froze. I guess she froze. All right. Oh,
- 42:10Speaker 1: she's back. She's back. We froze for a minute.
- 42:14Speaker 5: Oh, sorry. And anyway, the groups that signed on to
- 42:19Speaker 5: say that homeless encampments could continue to exist, that cities
- 42:23Speaker 5: didn't have the right to enforce them, were nonprofits, 700
- 42:26Speaker 5: nonprofits that took in $ 2. 9 billion of government funding. Of course.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
- 42:33Speaker 3: I take in no government funding. I never take a
- 42:35Speaker 3: dime in my life for the government. These people live
- 42:37Speaker 3: off government.
- 42:38Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Michelle Steeve, her book is called Answers Behind the Red Door,
- 42:42Speaker 3: Battling the Homeless Epidemic.
- 42:44Speaker 1: But her answers are not the typical liberal answers.
- 42:47Speaker 3: She's trying to actually help and not siphon off all
- 42:50Speaker 3: the money for herself. She's not a money launderer like
- 42:52Speaker 3: all these other people. Thank you for what you do, Michelle.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Appreciate it. God bless you.
- 42:56Speaker 4: Appreciate it. All right.
