• 1:36

• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to me at 800-347-ROOT. 800-347-ROOT. We will pick up. We

  Speaker 1: will talk right on the air on my national TV
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: show and have fun. 800-347-ROOT at 6 o'clock Eastern, 3
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: o'clock Pacific, every weekday. That's the story. Okay? Hopefully you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: understand that. I kept it as simple as I can.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Nicky Ballou is my guest. I'll be with him in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just a second. I'll mention this at the end of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the segment. Let me get right to Nicky. Nikki is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: an Ontario, Canada resident. He is of Iranian descent. He's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: my co-author of my book, The Great Patriot Protest and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Boycott Book and The Great Patriot Bicot Book. And the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: new one, How Illegal Immigrants Have Made America Great, which
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is 100 blank pages. It's a funny book for any
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: conservative to give to their friends. Nikki Ballou is Iranian.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I thought it was important to speak to him when
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Iran war started and when the Iran war was ongoing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And when the Iran war was almost ending and now
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's supposedly over and we should talk a little bit
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: about it. And I'm not sure if we're going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: agree on this one, because I'm sure what Nikki I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sure I know what Nikki wants. He wanted us to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: finish the job and he wanted us to free the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Iranian people and to change the regime. And it appears
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: none of that is going to happen now. Because my
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: guess is, and I know President Trump better than anyone
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the world, all he cares about is the stock
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: market going up, gold going up, Bitcoin going up, gas
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: going down, inflation going down, groceries going down, and the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: economy going up and exploding. And he knew none of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that could happen if we finished the job and spent another...
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: six months in Iran, and he would lose the midterms.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So he quit early. Basically, I know that's, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Trump wouldn't like me saying this, but I believe he
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: basically walked away and got sick of the whole thing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because the American people are not with him at all
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and didn't want this war. And he walked away from
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it and he got the best deal he could get.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And maybe he can go back after the midterms and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: go back in again. But for now, the Iran war
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is over, at least as far as President Trump is concerned.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And the straightforward moves is open and we're free to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to do business and and, you know, ship oil again.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And and that's the story. Now, Nikki, I'm sure you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: don't want that to happen. You wanted him to finish
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the job. And I don't blame you, but it's just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: not going to happen.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: No, it's not going to happen.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: The deal's done. And President Trump has said. as you say,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: decided that it's more important to preserve the support of
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the public.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: It's more important to ensure— Win the midterms. Win the midterms. Well,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I understand all that, and I understand his thinking.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I just think it's unfortunately short-sighted, because I'm going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: tell you there's a few reasons.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Why it's short-sighted.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Wayne, these mullahs hate America and the West. That is
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: without a doubt, without question, unquestionably true. Secondly, their stated
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: goal is to turn the world into a one-world Islamic caliphate.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: They want this to happen. They will lie, cheat, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: steal in order to preserve themselves so they can live
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: to fight another day. And their strategy right now is
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: called wait out Donald Trump. And what they're going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: do right now is they're going to sign a deal.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Because they know the midterms are coming, right? They know it, too.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They totally know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: So they did this because they know it's going to
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: get them some breathing room.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And they're going to wait Trump out. They're going to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: wait until Trump is out of office. They're going to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: play nice until Trump is out of office.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Then, my friend, here's what's going to happen, especially if
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a Democrat's elected. They're going to start going back to
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: their old ways. They're going to start going after nuclear weapons.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: They're going to start funding proxies, terrorist proxies in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Middle East, and they're going to start killing people. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: by the way, throughout this whole time, They're going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: clamp down even harder on the people of Iran. There
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: were 100,000 people killed in January of 2026.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: 100,000? 100,000 were killed. 100,000 people were killed by the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: regime in protest.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: And now when the pressure is off of them from
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the United States military.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: They're going to go back.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They'll start killing again.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: They're going to start killing more people.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And the truth of the matter is these guys are
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: bad guys. You're not going to be able to do
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: a deal with them because they're not honest brokers, not
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: a deal that's going to last. And as soon as
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is gone from the political scene, you're going
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: to see them come back. The only thing that can
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: stop this is if some of the people in the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: regime decide that they don't want to wait until Donald
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Trump goes and they start playing some shenanigans again.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I knew you were going to say that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And that may get us back in.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if they do this after the midterms. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: think at that point, Trump's going to go, screw it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: The midterms are over. Let's do what we got to do.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But for now, I don't think he's lost interest. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: think he's made a political calculation that going into Iran
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: and finishing the job It's going to cost me politically,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Can't live with that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You can't argue with that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not arguing with his reasoning or his understanding of
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: what the.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Current political scene is.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: But I'll just tell you, Wayne, if I were one
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: of the president's advisors, when he went into Iran, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: would have said, Mr. President, you made a good initial speech,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: but if you're going to have the people behind you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: which I believe you're going to need. You're going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: need to do more than just do this one initial speech.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You're going to need to continuously educate the people on
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: why this is important. I would have written a speech
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: for him, and I would have had this speech have
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: a bit of a historical backdrop.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I would talk about how the Mullahs got into power.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: The United States, under the awful presidency of Jimmy Carter,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: basically decided that they were no longer going to support
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: America's longtime ally in the region, which is the Shah
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: of Iraq.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The Shah, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And they were going to— they were.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Going after what they called the religious belt of people
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to oppose Soviet communism.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: And they basically tacitly started supporting Khomeini. And as a result,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the Shah was overthrown. Khomeini came in.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And then shortly after that, Khomeini bit the hand that
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: fed him, as it were, and took the American embassy
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: workers hostage and started funding every terrorist proxy in the regime.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And they declared war on the United States.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: In February of 1979. That war has been ongoing. Trump,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: for a while, said, OK, we're going to fight back.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: We're going to knock you down. But right now, he said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: you know what? I attacked these guys. I destroyed their military.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: We're going to make sure they don't do nukes, at
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: least for the next couple of years, and then it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: somebody else's problem. But if he'd have stuck with it
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: and he'd explained to people what had happened, and he said, look,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the reason the Iranian people are being imprisoned by these folks,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and these are the people that have caused all the
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: radical Islamic terrorism in the world, is because the United
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: States let this happen. We have a moral obligation to
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: stop this to the Iranian people somewhat, but to the
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: American people, because if we don't stop this now— These
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: guys are going to keep doing this until they get
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons and they can attack the United States, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: they're going to keep killing Americans and American allies. Until
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: they are overthrown.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And that's the truth. Listen, I get it. Everything you're
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: saying is true. But listen, here's my problem. Number one,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Trump never had a single fireside chat. Not one with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the American people to explain the war. Not one. So
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he could have explained all that, but he never did.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But I do think almost every Republican knows everything you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: just said, because I've said it on this show a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: thousand times. They know. I've said it. You've said it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: They know. But all the other people who aren't Republicans,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: independents and Democrats, outnumber Republicans, and they don't care. They
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: don't want war. They don't want their kids going to war.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They don't want higher gas prices. They don't want higher
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: grocery prices. They don't want inflation. And so it's just,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like the Vietnam War. We should have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: finished that one, too, but it was never in the cards.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: There was no way we were ever going to finish
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it after 10 long years. What's the difference between Vietnam
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and now? Ten years and the American people were sick
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of it and 60,000 Americans dead. They were sick of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it and we had to get out. Now, our attention
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: span is so short.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You need to send a single American with boots on
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: the ground. What you need to do is have these
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: fireside chats and you need to drop weapons to the
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Iranian people and let them be.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: The boots on the ground.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And they could have kept bombing too.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: And keep bombing. And could have kept bombing. And then
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: have some good fireside chats. The Republicans are mostly with Trump,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: but not all with Trump. Some of them went against him.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: The independents are persuadables, man. They could have used some
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: good fireside chats to get it done. Look, it's water
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: on the bridge.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: It's done. I'm not one of these people who's going
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to attack President Trump.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And I think what he did is good. And I
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: think the fact that he's degraded the mullahs' abilities.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Is in the long run a really good thing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I'm just— my concern, Wayne, and why I wanted to come
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: on your show today is— I want to tell the president,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: because I know the president watches your show and I
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: know he listens to what you have to say.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I want to tell him, look, Mr.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: President, this may make sense in the short term, but
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: in the long term, this makes no sense. In the
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: long term, you're going to have to deal with these people.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: If you don't deal with these people, they'll find a
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: way to deal with America once you're gone.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But you don't want to see their realities? The sad
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: reality is he may never have to deal with them again.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It's only after he's gone. And his answer may be,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Leave it to the next guy. Because
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the inflation was so bad under Biden. The gas price
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: under Biden. I want to remind everyone, the grocery price
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: under Biden. Everything was a nightmare under Biden. And the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: American people have already forgotten. They have short memories. And
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: now they're blaming Trump for those same prices that were
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: all Biden's fault. And during the Iran war, they went
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: up even a little bit more or they didn't go
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: down as much as people would like. And people blame Trump.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And he has to do something in the short time
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: between now and the midterms to get all those prices
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: down again so he can take credit. So it just
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't meant to be, Nicky. And I feel horrible for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the Iranian people because you and I know that Trump
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: told them, get ready, we're coming to save you. And
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he didn't save them. And now they're going to get killed.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And the United States does this all the time. Look
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: at Afghanistan. They let all their friends die after 20 years.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You know, you could even stick, America could stick with
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you for 15, 20 years and still you're going to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: get killed in the end. In the end, the lesson
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: everyone's learning is America is never there long-term to be
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: your friend. And if you make them your friend, you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: will get killed and your whole family will get killed
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the future. So it's a it's a sad lesson.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And the American people have, you know, you never let
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: me finish one point. I got to get in. So
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in Vietnam, it took 10 years for the American people
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to truly sour and 60,000 dead. And they truly soured
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and we had to get out because finishing the job
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: would not be acceptable to the American people. Fast forward
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: all these decades later. Society is so fast now, Nicky.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And people have such short attention spans that it took
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a matter of weeks to accomplish the same thing as
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Vietnam took 10 years. 13 guys died versus, what is it, 70,000
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: died in Vietnam, 69,000? 13 people died. 13 American soldiers died.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That's it. And the American people already gave up on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the war. So, you know, a little inflation, a little
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: pain at the pump, and they gave up on the war.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It didn't take 10 years anymore. It took five minutes.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I pray to God. That the American people don't live
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to regret this.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I pray to God that there isn't some crazy Islamic
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: terrorist who lands on American shores with a suitcase nuke or.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Other nuclear weapon or other weapon.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Of mass destruction and blows it up in a major
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: American city.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I pray to God that doesn't happen.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Because at that point, the cost to the American people
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: will be high. And believe me, Wayne. These bastards mean
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to do that. They haven't given up on.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: That as a dream. They are straight up bad and
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: evil people.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You keep bringing up the United States, but I think,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, yes, they hate the United States. Yes, they
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: want to conquer the United States. Yes, they want to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: bomb the United States. Yes, they'd like to nuke the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: United States. Yes, they could set off a dirty bomb
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in the United States. But certainly it's a lot easier
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to do all of that to Israel than it is
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to come all the way to the United States. So
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Israel's the one who has to face this on a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: daily basis, and they're one of our best friends in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the world, if not our best friend. And they're now
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: left in the lurch. And Trump is making lousy comments
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: about Netanyahu. And he's saying that Netanyahu has to stop
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: bombing Beirut and has to stop attacking, you know, people
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that are attacking him and the Israeli people. And it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: not a good situation. But I get why Trump is
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: saying and doing what he is, because the American people
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: don't even care about Israel anymore. They don't care about Israel.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: They don't care about Iran. They care about America. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: America just in their minds has nothing to do with
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: all these countries thousands of miles away in the Middle East.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Let them worry about their own problems. So Trump, for
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: his own political survival, has decided to let the American
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: people take it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I get it. And I understand it. And like I said,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: it's reality. It's what's happening.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: And I hope that it's the long-term implications of this
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: for the United States and the American people are not
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: what I suspect they could end up being.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: They're going to attack Israel. You're right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: But you see, here's the difference between Israel and the
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: United States. The Israeli people are solidly behind the Israeli government.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: And they will support the Israeli government in doing whatever
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: it takes to protect Israel and the people of Israel.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Right, but see, the Israeli government, but Trump made a comment,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and even though it's rude, it's kind of true. I mean,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: everything Trump says is rude, but true. He said, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I quote, Bibi should shut the hell up because without me,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: there is no Israel. That's what he said. Without me,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: there is no Israel. They should understand I am the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: reason there's an Israel today still existing. Because if a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Democrat got elected, he's trying to say, and he's right.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He is basically right. So the problem is that if
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Israel goes their own way and goes away separate, takes
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the lonely road without America, they're a little country. There's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: no way they could fight 300 million enemies around them,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: let alone Iran. And they're never going to make it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: by themselves. They need America to make it. Netanyahu has
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: no choice but to be nice to Trump and shut
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: up and just play the pet friend. You know, you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: play my dog Bubba for now. Pet me and just
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: move on. Because if Netanyahu picks a fight with Trump,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Trump can fight with Netanyahu, but Netanyahu can't fight back.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: If he fights back, Trump will tell him to F
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: off and then Israel's on its own.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: No, and he won't.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: But I'm just telling you, if Israel suspects that they're
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: going to take a nuclear hit, they're not going to
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: stand there and just sit down and take it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Agreed.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: They won't. It's a sad situation.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And I also think I also think in addition to Israel,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: the the Islamists in the Middle East are planning on
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: attacking some major European cities.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: They're going to do that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: And then once they've done that a couple of times,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: because it's easier to attack a European city than it
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: is to attack.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: An Israeli city. Let's face it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Much easier. So they're going to do that first. Once
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: they've done a couple of those.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Then if there's not a strong pushback against them, then
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: they're going to try and come into the United States,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: especially with a Democratic administration. If the American people in
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the next 20 years elect another Democrat to the White House,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: you are going to see, in my opinion, a major
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: weapon of mass destruction event in the North American homeland.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: That's what I believe will happen.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Heck, Nicky, there was almost a major mass death event
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: at the UFC 250 fight just a couple days ago
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: on the White House lawn. You know, they were planning
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and they were not Muslims, by the way. These appear
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to be just American white kids, I guess, white liberal revolutionaries,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: maybe Antifa. And they were planning to fly drones and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: scare people and blow up buildings and everyone would run
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for their lives in panic. And then they were going
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to have snipers set up to shoot them all down
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and kill thousands of people. This is a crazy plan.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe a very smart, effective plan, but thank God somebody's
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: mommy called the FBI and told on the 19-year-old, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the FBI arrested them all, swooped in and arrested them,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and everything worked out at the UFC event. Thank God. So,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Keep praying for the Iranian people.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I believe God is good, and I believe God at
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the end of the day is going to ensure that
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: the right thing happens for the people of Iran and
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: for the people of Israel and for the people of
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the United States. I understand why President Trump is doing
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: what he's doing. I just think he's mistaken to do it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I get it in the short run.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: It makes sense.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: And I hope that at some point, once the midterms
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: are over, all bets will be off and he'll do
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: what needs to be done because this is a problem
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: you don't want to leave behind.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: This is not a good problem to leave unsolved.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I get it. Nikki, I get it. It was just
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a prudent thing for Trump to do if he wanted
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to win the midterms. It just was getting too long.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And it might have required boots on the ground, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: just the American people were never going to go for that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think you'd ever need that. I don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: think you should do that. And listen, I still love
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: President Trump. I think he's the best president we've had
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: easily since Ronald Reagan.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: On the whole, his presidency has been a boon for humankind.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure I make that clear.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I just disagree strongly with this particular decision that he's made.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. You know, more than not,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. But I also agree with Trump
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that there was no choice right now. So it's kind
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of a difficult conundrum. That's the best way to describe it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It's a conundrum. All right, Nikki Ballou, Ontario, Canada resident,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and as pro-American as you'll ever get for a Canadian
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: or any other country, should be in the United States

  Speaker 1: on with Wayne Root.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: How are you? I'm doing terrific. How about you?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Good to see you. The first thing I wanted to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: do is I wanted to say kind of a condolence.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I know that a friend of yours was killed in
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a plane accident yesterday. Joshua Baer, the founder of Capital Factory,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: which is one of the biggest venture capital for tech
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: companies in the world. And in Texas, he was like
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the tech kingmaker. What a terrible tragedy to lose a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: great businessman like that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Really tragic.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: He was a bold thinker, an entrepreneur, and made a
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: real difference in the Austin community. And we're grieving his
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: loss in a tragic plane accident.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as a son of a butcher, which is what
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I am, you know, son of a blue-collar butcher who's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: made it in the business world and has made a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: lot of money, I just love capitalists. You know, I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: love people that go out there and they fight and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: they make money in a great capitalist nation. And I
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: just feel sorrow whenever we lose one of them. And
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: this guy, you know, puts me to shame. What a successful,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: amazing guy this guy was. um our condolences to his
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: family joshua bear of a capital factory in austin texas
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: terrible loss uh president trump earlier today and then we'll
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: get to all the questions we plan to get to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: but i wanted to get a comment from you trump
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: at the g7 uh he's always funny he called obama
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a dumb son of a bitch and i would argue
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: with that comment ted i think it was wrong i
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: think it was uh Not a comment I would make.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: He is a evil son of a bitch. He's not
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a dumb one. President Obama is not stupid. He is smart,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to destroy capitalism and all the things
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that I think make America great. I don't think any
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of it was a mistake. I don't think he's incompetent.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's dumb. So Trump is right to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: totally despise him, but I think it was the wrong
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: adjective in front of son of a bitch. I think
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: he's evil, not dumb. Your thoughts?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Look, I agree with you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: The way I would put it is I think Barack
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: Obama is a true believer. I think he is a socialist,
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: if not a full-out Marxist.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I think actually a lot of the dissent.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: of the Democrat Party into crazy town, into open border,
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: release criminals, embrace Hamas, I think Barack Obama started.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: That entire dissent. Yes, he did.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: And I think he is fully committed. Look, I'll even
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: go so far as to say I respect Obama for
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: his commitment to his ideology.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Me too, I agree. His ideology just happens to be
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: poisonous ideology.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: And incredibly damaging and ripping the country apart. But but
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: he fights for it with with with real efficacy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And it's dangerous.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Like like Republican senators, unlike you, which I happen to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: love you and I think you're great. But a lot
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of them do not fight with fire. Right. They can't
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: even get their act together. and pass the SAVE Act,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: which is the easiest low-hanging fruit in the history of
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. And they can't even say, yes,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: let's pass that, which is so ridiculous. Did you happen
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to see my commentary? I've been arguing for like three
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: months now, Senator Cruz, that the SAVE Act is great
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and I want it to pass, but it's never going
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to pass. The Senate is never going to let it pass.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: It's never going to happen. The McConnell's the world. and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the Tom Tillis of the world. Not going to happen.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But we have something better. I keep recommending President Trump
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: declare a presidential national security emergency for elections, which is
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the SAVE Act on steroids, Trump style. All the same
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: things the SAVE Act is in it, except also paper
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: ballots and getting rid of the machines and getting rid
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of mail-in ballots, none of which are in the SAVE Act.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know this, but the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruled in 1983 a presidential national security emergency
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: cannot be sued in court and stopped by lawsuits. You
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: can only overturn it with a two thirds vote of
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: both houses of Congress. So I think I've come up
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: with a miracle idea that will be in effect for
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the midterms if Trump does it. And it's much better
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: than the SAVE Act.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I would love to see that outcome.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: I think you would have massive resistance in blue states,
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and I think you would certainly have judges that would
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: issue injunctions against the president.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: If he issued a unilateral order.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Listen, I think voter fraud is pernicious. Look at the
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: California elections. Look at how ridiculous the California elections are. Now, look,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: there's an element of, tragically, I do think there are
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: a lot of knuckleheads. People looked around L.A. and said, gosh,
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: our mayor let the city burn to the ground, is
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: releasing criminals everywhere. We've got homeless people and criminals that
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: are assaulting our kids and.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Leaving needles on the sidewalk. What do we need?
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: Oh, let's go for an even crazier, more left-wing candidate.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: You know, There are some really foolish people who just
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: keep voting to make it worse and worse and worse.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: But there's also, I think, a lot of fraud. And
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: the policies, particularly in California, they invite fraud. It's actually illegal.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: To ask for an ID voting. They want illegals voting.
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: They want fraud there. I think the Democrat and the
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: Marxist politicians are invested in maximizing the fraud.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: And so it really is tragic.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: I've more than once suggested that Gavin Newsom be named
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: the Texas Realtor of the Year because nobody on planet
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: Earth has sold more homes in Texas than Gavin has.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you think Texas, but I'm telling you the real
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: explosion is from California to where I live, Las Vegas.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: We are flooded.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like 5,000 a month are coming from California,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and I keep meeting them. They're not middle class, Ted.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: They're all wealthy people in California with big houses. They're
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: all leaving, and they're moving to Vegas, my area of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Vegas called Summerlin, which is where I saw you at
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the event about, what, three weeks ago, I guess. You
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and I were at an event together, and that's in Summerlin,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: which is a beautiful area of Las Vegas. That's where
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the whole California with wealth is moving if they're not
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: going to Texas or Florida, so They're all running away.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's like a movie, Escape from L.A.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Or Escape from California.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: Well, the sum total of wealth that has fled the
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: state just in the last few months, I think it
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: is in excess of $ 2 trillion because California is talking
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: about this wealth tax and confiscating their wealth. And it's
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: not just the individuals with resources that are leaving.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: These are all job creators that create.
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: Thousands and thousands of jobs.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And, you know, there's an old joke.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: That I sadly I think has a lot of force
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: to it, which is which is what's the difference between
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: California and the Titanic? And the answer is the passengers
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: of the Titanic didn't vote to hit the iceberg.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: True.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Very true. It's scary. You think California is bad. Wait
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: till you see how many people are going to leave
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: New York with Mondami as mayor. And I say this
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: all the time. Look, I'm Jewish. And I'm sorry that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: so many Jews are great people but ignorant when it
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: comes to voting because so many of them vote liberal Democrat.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And it makes no sense. You're voting against your own interests.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You're voting for suicide. You're voting for a party that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hates you. But that's changing. More and more Jews are
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: switching over. But let me tell you, whether they're liberal
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: or whether they're conservative, all the Jewish people I know
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: are very educated and very successful. And they make money
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and they create jobs. And when you chase them out
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of a city that is the most powerful financial city
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in the world, it's going to collapse. And if all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the Jewish people who are job creators and CEOs of
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: businesses leave New York City for Florida and Texas and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: where I live, Nevada and Tennessee and South Carolina, New
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: York City is going to collapse. It's insanity to chase
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: successful job creators out of a city or a state.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I'll give an example from the last couple
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: of weeks.
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: Apollo, the huge hedge fund, just announced they're opening their
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: second global headquarters in Austin, Texas.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Mark Rowan, who leads them, who's been a.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: Real champion fighting anti-Semitism and taking on the insanity we
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: have at our universities. You know, Mark's gone down to
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: Austin's buying a home. The senior executives are buying homes
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: in Texas. And, you know, Mondami is a big, big
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: part of the reason why they and so many other
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: people are fleeing Manhattan.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: It's tragic.
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: You know, I look at it and it is, I
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: think the young people who voted for Mondami, they don't
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: remember and they don't know enough to know what happened
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: to New York in the 70s, how bad it can get.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: And tragically, I think for both New York City and
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: for California, things are going to have to get worse
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: before they get better.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: But this is like that joke you told. It's not
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a joke. It's serious. I mean, what's interesting, New York
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: City in the 70s and New York City now, in
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: both cases, it's a repeat, except in the 70s, no
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: one ever said a word bad about Jewish people. That's
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the difference now is it's even war. It's like become
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: communism mixed with Nazism. It's the most crazy combination I've
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: ever seen. I've been at two graduation parties in Las Vegas,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: you know, high school graduation. Friends of mine and my
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: wife's and their kids were graduating in the last month.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And both of them were these beautiful, wonderful, smart kids
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: all graduating the best schools in Vegas. And guess where
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: they're all going? Not one of them has chosen an
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Ivy League school. Almost every kid I met is going
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to SMU. SMU is like the new Harvard. for people
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: who have common sense that don't want to go places
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: where they're hated. So, I mean, everyone is looking at
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Texas and going, it's safe for my kids to go
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: to Texas. It's not safe for my kids to go
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to Boston or New York.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Now, look, unquestionably, that pattern is happening more and more,
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: and you're seeing people— well, look at the anti-Semitic protests. Some
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: people say, well, gosh, it's happening everywhere. And that was
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: not true. The vicious anti-Semitic protests— They happened in blue
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: states that were led by Democrat governors. They happened in
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: New York. They happened in Connecticut. They happened in Pennsylvania.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: They happened in Illinois. They happened in New Jersey. They
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: happened in Washington State. They happened in California. You know
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: where they didn't happen? They didn't happen in Texas. They
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: didn't happen in Florida. They didn't happen in Tennessee. And
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: by the way, let's take Texas for a minute. We
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: briefly had a protest at the University of Texas in Austin.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: The police showed up, arrested everyone, and it was over
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: in about an hour. And the problem went away.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: That's actually when you have leadership that says, no, we're
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: not going to let you terrorize your fellow students, threaten
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: your fellow students, harass your fellow students. And you know
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: what they discovered? And this has been the pattern in
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: almost all those protests. more than half of the people
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: that were there protesting had no affiliation with UT. They
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: weren't students. They came from the outside. They're agitators that
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: are being paid. I think they're being paid by Qatar
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: and Iran and China. They're being paid by forces that
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: want to foment unrest and tear our country apart. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: you noted, look, in Manhattan, Comrade Mondami is a perfect
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: illustration of the Green-Red Alliance, how the Islamists and Marxists,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: they intersect and they both hate the same people.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: And that is where the left is today in America.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so anti Tucker Carlson's and the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Candace Owens and even Marjorie Taylor Greene. I think those
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: people are so dangerous because I ask my fellow conservatives,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, have you ever agreed with the left on anything?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: They're wrong about everything. Have they ever been right about anything?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: So how come you're now taking their side with Jew hatred?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: when it's all coming from the left and now you're
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: dumb enough to agree with them. They've never been right
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: about anything before. So they're not right about Jew hatred
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and they're not right about Israel. They're wrong because they're
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: agreeing with the most radical communist people in the world.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: So you know you shouldn't be on their side. How silly.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, look, it is pernicious. And if you look on
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: the left, anti-Semitism, Jew hatred really began rising on the
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: left in the last 10 years or so.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Obama.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Obama.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: And yes, absolutely. And the Democrat leadership, they by and
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: large just looked the other way. They hoped it would
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: go away. And it's basically consumed their party. It is
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: now rising on the right. And you listed some of
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: the most prominent people that are.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Pushing this poison.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: And I believe, Wayne, without exaggeration, this is an existential fight.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: Because anti-Semitism is a gateway drug, for anti-capitalism and anti-Americanism.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: And you can see it with Mondami.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: You can see it with Tucker Carlson, who starts by
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: attacking Jews in Israel seemingly every show, but then quickly
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: goes down the road of attacking President Trump viciously, praising
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: Nicolas Maduro, a communist, praising the leaders of Iran, attacking-
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: And buying a.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Home in Qatar. buying a home in Qatar. He's living
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: part-time in Qatar now. Something is wrong with Tucker. I
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: don't know if they paid him, you know, a half
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: billion dollars to turn on America. I don't know what
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it is, but it's so bizarre, Ted Cruz. Can you
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: imagine anyone saying my new second home is in Qatar?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just bizarre. Let's switch gears because we
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: don't have much time left for you. I know your
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: time is valuable. I want to get to one last
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: point that matters, which is the Iran deal. It's very controversial.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I get you know, I'm a guy whose pulse is
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: on American politics. I get thousands of fan mails because
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I give out my email on every show, my podcast,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: my two TV shows, and my radio show. I give
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: out my email, wayneroot at gmail.com, and I hear what
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: people say. It's very divided whether they think we should
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: have finished the job and Trump did go far enough
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and he should have been a lot stricter with them,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a lot tougher with them, and then half the people say,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Glad we're getting out. I never wanted to go in
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: in the first place. And we got to get back
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: to the economy and inflation and get away from Iran.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm kind of in the middle. I kind of
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: agree with both sides. So I'm not quite sure where
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to go. Tell me what you think about the new
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Iran deal negotiated by Art of the Deal, President Trump.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: So, look, if you want to get out, get out.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: But don't give him a damn penny.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: History teaches that that giving billions of dollars to theocratic
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: lunatics who want to.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Murder us is a really, really bad idea.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: And I think the president, unfortunately, is receiving really bad
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: advice on this deal. This deal, assuming the terms that
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: have been leaked are accurate, and they're still somewhat shrouded
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: in darkness, but if what's been leaked is accurate... This
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: deal starts by giving somewhere between 10 to $ 30 billion
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: to Iran right at the front before they make even
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: a single nuclear concession. I think that is a mistake.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: That money will be used to fund terrorists. That money
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: will be used to build weapons that will be used
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: to kill Americans.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think we should do that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: What has been discussed is that the deal is contemplating
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: $ 300 billion.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: At least not from us, though. That's the only good
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: thing I'll say about that. It's from the Gulf states,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: not from us. So at least we're not paying it
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: from what I can see.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: But why the hell would we want an Ayatollah who
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: chants death to America to have $ 300 billion? Americans, that
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: will be used to murder Americans. Look, Joe Biden and
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: Kamala Harris flowed $ 100 billion to to Iran, to the regime.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: That was catastrophically foolish, and among other things, that effectively
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: funded October 7th.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: The number here is three times that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: That doesn't make any sense, and the agreement also, as
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: it's been leaked, gives Iran permanent control over the Strait
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: of Hormuz and sanctions their imposing tolls. The Ayatollah shouldn't
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: make a penny from the free navigation of the seas.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: And so it's one thing.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: I think President Trump's decision to initiate military conflict and
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: to go after Iran and to take out their ballistic
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: missiles and to take out their drones and their Navy
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: and their Air Force, I think that was the single
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: most consequential decision of his presidency.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: He was absolutely right.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: He was right. And the idea now- I think politics
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: got in the way. I think politics got in the way.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I think the midterms got in the way. And I
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: think he basically said, let's just get the hell out
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: of there and let's do whatever we have to do
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: to be ready for the midterms and lower gas prices. Unfortunately,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agree. I'm just saying to me,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened in his mind. We got to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: get back to America first and the economy and make
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: sure everything is going up except for gas prices. But
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: the economy is going up leading into the midterms and
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: we could always get back to them after the midterms.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's what's going through his mind.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Listen, I think he's getting bad advice on this and
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: the idea that we would send billions of dollars to
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: people who want.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: To kill us.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: It is not a good idea. Just today, Rob Malley,
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: who was the top Iran appeaser under Joe Biden, he
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: tweeted that he thinks that this agreement is fabulous.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: That should tell you something.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: That's not good.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: It's not good. No, it's not good at all.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: You know, I think back during when Obama was president,
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: John Kerry was secretary of state, and there was a
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: political cartoon.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: That had the Ayatollah yelling, death to America.
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: And it had John Kerry responding with, can we meet
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: you halfway?
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That's scary. That's scary. With him riding his bicycle and
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: then he falls down and breaks his leg. I mean,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: he's the word putz. You know, I was Jewish growing up.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: The word putz, schmuck, that is John Kerry. He's such
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a putz and such a schmuck.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Look, the trouble is I don't think any of them
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: are really incompetent, stupid, dumb putz or schmuck. The reality
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: is we joke about it, but the reality is, Ted,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I think they're all evil. I think the whole left
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: has become so radical and so evil. Their intent is
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: to destroy America. It's not because they're incompetent. It's because
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: they know exactly what they're doing. We got to run.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I know you got to run. We're taking a break.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: United States Senator Ted Cruz, one of my favorite politicians
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: in America. You're a good man, Ted. And thank God
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: we've got you. Thank God we got you. All right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Wayne Allyn Root. The Root, the Root,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the Root is on fire.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Be right back.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Wayne Allyn Root from Las Vegas. Warzone Live,

  Speaker 1: I think it's Talk Red or is it Red Talk?
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Red Talk or Talk Red?
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I thought it's Talk Red.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: TalkRed.com.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Talk Red.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: You're getting me backwards, Pitar. What's going on? Tangible Investments
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: is the sponsor of this segment of the show. How
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: important is its own gold? Well, first of all, Wayne
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Root will tell you it's the most important thing in
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: my life. You're supposed to own like 5% or 10% gold.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Most people own zero. I got to admit, I own
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: about 40% gold. My life savings is almost all in gold.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: It's my single biggest investment. That's how much I believe
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: in gold. So China's central bank agrees with me. They're
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: buying lots of gold. They increased their gold reserves for
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the 18th consecutive month. China's prepared for what's coming. Are you? See,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: you've got to be a moron to keep your money
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: in cash. It goes down every day when you keep
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: your money in cash. You could say I have 50,000
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and 10 years later you go, see, I still have 50,000.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, Wayne? But 10 years later, the 50,000
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: buys half of the car it bought 10 years ago.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: So you don't really have 50,000. You have 25,000. Even
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: though you can count out 50, it's still all there.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: It's not. Inflation has eaten it all up. It's not
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: there anymore. Your buying power is down to half or zero. So,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: you know, like if you had, I think it was,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: if the number was, if you put a million dollars
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: into gold at the turn of the century, at the 1900s,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: if you put a million dollars into gold, Today, it
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: would be worth, I think, $ 100 million. And if you
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: put $ 1 million into cash, they would be worth like $ 25, 000.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: The buying power would be $ 25, 000 versus the million you
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: had in the early 1900s. So really, those are incredible numbers.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: So China knows what they're doing. They know what's coming.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Are you prepared for what's coming? But even if you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: buy gold, buying gold itself is not enough. You need
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to buy gold at the right price. And this is
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: where buyers get misled. Other gold companies say we only
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: charge 1% over cost, but that's very misleading because whose
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: cost are they talking about? The real question you need
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to ask is, what are you charging me above spot price?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: And then compare that answer to the sponsor of my show,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Tangible Investments. I've known the guys at Tangible for decades.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Tangible has been in business for more than 40 years,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: have handled more than $ 2 billion in transactions. Their team
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: brings over 200 combined years of experience. Right now, Tangible
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Investments is offering gold bullion at just 1% over spot.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: That's unheard of. And they offer silver as low as
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: 3% over spot. Unheard of. If you want gold, silver,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: pressed metals, or rare coins from a real firm with
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: real credibility and honest pricing at a time in history
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: where China is buying up all the gold in the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: world for a reason. And if you think China's smart,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and I do. Follow China, right? Call Tangible Investments right now.

• 46:03
  Speaker 1: my fans. Rootforgold.com. Rootforgold.com. My guest, we have another guest.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: We're here to have two in the same show. Connor Fitzpatrick.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: You know, they're available. We grab them. Connor Fitzpatrick is
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Chief Supervising Attorney for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: otherwise known as FIRE, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Get it F-I-R-E, the website FIRE.org, FIRE.org. Connor, welcome to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: the show. Let's start with that.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: Thanks for having me.
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: So first of all, tell us about your organization. What
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: is FIRE? What do you do?
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: So FIRE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to defending
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: freedom of speech and the First Amendment around the United States.
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: We do not care if you are a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green,
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: or anything in between. Our unofficial slogan is that if
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: it's protected, we will defend it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: So in Las Vegas, and that's where this show emanates from,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I live in Las Vegas, my adopted hometown for 24 years.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: In Las Vegas, a lawsuit was filed by a father
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: after his son was expelled from school for expressing pro-ice views.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: That is stunning to me. He placed six pro-ice emblems
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: on the walls of a hallway and the assistant principal
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: at the East Career and Technical Academy said the emblems
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: were racist and they expelled him from school. Tell us
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: this story because to me this is shocking and I'd
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: like my Fans in Las Vegas, of which I have
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: more than any other radio host in Vegas, times 10.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I'd love you to give me like a number or
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: an email. We could call and just destroy this school.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Just bombard their phones with calls and tell them that
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: they've ruined their school and no one's going to go
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: there anymore. So tell us the story. Tell us there's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: some way we can make a difference and contact them
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: or contact the mayor. What can we do?
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: So what we have here is a lawsuit filed on
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: behalf of a student who alleges that he was expelled
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: based on pro-ICE expression. So this all appears to have
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: happened earlier this year when there were protests and counter
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: protests popping up around the country, particularly at schools about
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: ICE and about the role it was playing in cities
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: like Minneapolis.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: So a few weeks before this student.
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: Engaged in his expression, it looks like there was a
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: walkout or other sort of anti-ICE speech. And the school,
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: it appears, did not punish any of the students for
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: being involved in that. But then when this student put
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: up pro-ICE stickers on the wall, the school punished him,
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: not from what it looks like in the lawsuit for
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: putting things on the wall when he shouldn't have been,
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: but because of the viewpoint that he was expressing in
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: the emblems and the stickers that he was putting on
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: the wall.
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: And that's where the First Amendment steps in.
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: The First Amendment requires the government to be neutral. The
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: government isn't allowed to play favorites. It isn't allowed to
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: say if you agree with me, you are allowed to
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: engage in speech.
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: And if you don't, you're not.
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: So that's why the Constitution and that's why the First
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: Amendment comes to play here. Because the First Amendment held
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: more than, pardon me, the Supreme Court held more than
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: 50 years ago that students are entitled to engage in
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: non-disruptive political expression at school.
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: And schools cannot step in.
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: Schools cannot censor students just because the principal and the
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: teachers may not like what the student has to say.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: And ironically, here's what I would say, Connor. Ironically, when
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: students walk out to express their views, that should be punishable.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: That's different than simply expressing your views. That's, you know,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: interrupting the school day. That's killing hours of education. That's
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: wasting the public's money, the taxpayers' money. So I think
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: that's one that should be punished. No one should be
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: allowed to walk out. And I guarantee you they're not
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: walking out on their own. They didn't organize the protest.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the teachers helped them organize the protest. So
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that should be punishable. But just simply having a pro-ICE
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: view should never be punishable.
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: That's exactly right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: And the reason we know that and where most of
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: our First Amendment law comes from in the school context
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: more than 55 years ago is a case involving the
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: Vietnam War, where there were students in Iowa who wanted
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: to wear black armbands protesting.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: The war to school.
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: They weren't disrupting anything. They just wanted to wear these
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: black armbands to school. And the Supreme Court was very clear.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: It said that schools cannot prohibit students from peacefully expressing
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: themselves just because the administrators don't like what they have
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: to say. Of course, if you're disturbing class, if you're
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: disturbing other people's lessons, that's very, very different. But what
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: the First Amendment.
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: Never permits is teachers stepping.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: In and saying, well, even though your classmates express themselves,
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: I'm going to let them because I agreed with them.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: But you can't because I don't like what you have
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: to say.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: It's a really weird situation. And I think I'd have
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a hard time going to school nowadays. You know, when
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, which was a long time ago,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: 40 years ago, I was going to college and I
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: went to Columbia University. the most liberal college in America,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: up there with Berkeley and Harvard. And all the other
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: kids were big liberals and they were all for Jimmy Carter.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: And I was a Reagan guy. And I expressed my
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: beliefs in Reagan and my love of Reagan and my
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: support of Reagan. And the teachers thought I was kind
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: of cute and odd. And they still gave me A's.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a problem. Today, I think if you go
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: to college, forget about high school, high school too, but
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: if you go to college, especially elite colleges, Ivy League colleges,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: if you express that you're a Trumper and you're a
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: MAGA and you want closed borders and secure borders, and
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: if God forbid you say you want mass deportation, I
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: believe every one of these commie teachers would give you
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: an F and ruin your college career and ruin your
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: ability to go to law school or medical school afterwards.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: You can't stick your head above the foxhole anymore because
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the teachers are all literally far left communists, literally communists, Marxists,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: And conservatives aren't wanted in their classrooms.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: I think what we're seeing in not only in higher education,
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: but in the K through 12 space as well, is
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: government is government officials. And frankly, these days, it doesn't
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: matter which party not being able to stop themselves from
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: trying to put a thumb on the scales in terms
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: of trying to force people to think and agree with them.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: We see some states trying to tell college professors what
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: they aren't allowed to teach. And we see other states
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: trying to tell teachers what they are required to teach,
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: what doctrines they are required to profess. And the First
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: Amendment stops them to prevent all of that. This isn't Russia.
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: This isn't China. We don't have state-operated universities parroting the
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: government's tune. What we have is First Amendment freedom of
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: speech and freedom of conscience. and freedom of association, where
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: everyone can decide for themselves what views they want to adopt.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: And bringing it right back to home, I'm a product
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: of the Clark County School District. I grew up in Henderson,
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: and I'm very proud that at my high school, I
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: had Republican friends, I had Democratic friends, and we all
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: talked to each other. We learned about each other's point
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: of views. It helped our education.
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: And that's where I think this is really doing a
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: disservice to the students.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, Connor, those days are gone, buddy. Those days are gone.
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: I don't think Republican students and Democrats.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Are hanging out with each other anymore. It just doesn't work.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. I don't know any man who's a
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: conservative dates a liberal woman. It just doesn't work, man.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Those days are just gone. Trump and Obama ended. Everyone
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: claims Trump divided the nation. No, I think Obama divided
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the nation. And then Trump came along. And it became triple,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone's hatred and everyone's craziness. But Obama was
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: the first one to really badly divide the nation according
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: to your beliefs and your race and everything else. But
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: it's really gone off the rails now with Trump derangement syndrome.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: You're currently asking the Supreme Court to hear a case
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: about two kids' rights to wear Let's Go Brandon shirts
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: at school. Tell us more about that case.
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: Right now we have a case that's pending at the
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: Supreme Court. We're asking the Supreme Court to hear the
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: case where we are representing two students in West Michigan
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: who were prevented by their middle school and now their
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: high school from wearing Let's Go Brandon political sweatshirts to school.
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: They were non-disruptive.
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: They did not disrupt any lessons or any activities throughout
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: the school day. But the school censored the sweatshirts and
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: prevented them from wearing them anyway on the idea that
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: Let's Go Brandon is equivalent to sort of the more
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: profane chant that it comes from.
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: And in our view, that's silly.
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: There is a reason why words like heck and shoot
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: are considered acceptable in polite conversation, while their sort of
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: corollaries are not. It's silly to think that, for example,
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: heck means the.
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: Same thing as hell.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: It doesn't.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: And going back to our earlier discussion, the Supreme Court
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: has held that you have a right to peaceful political
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: expression at school, and that's what that case aims to cement.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what America's about. You know, look, I happen
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: to be Jewish by birth, and I remember in the 1970s,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I think it was 77 if my memory is correct,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: but the KKK or the Nazis marched in Skokie, Illinois.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: You know, they're kind of the same to me, so
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're Nazis or KKK, but they
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: were marching in Skokie, a very Jewish suburb of Chicago.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: And we let them march. And I think, if I'm
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, it was my good friend Alan Gershowitz, one
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: of the great lawyers in the world, who is Jewish,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: who defended their right to speak. He may hate what
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: they're saying. He may think it's disgusting, but they have
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: a right to say it. In America, we allowed them
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: to march in Skokie. And now we've come all this
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: circle later, you know, 40, 50 years later. And everyone's
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: feelings are hurt and everyone's sensibilities are hurt. Everyone's a snowflake.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: And whatever you say, it's no good anymore. And you
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: guys are trying to say, no, everything's OK. You may
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: hate what they're saying, but they have a right to
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: say it. Have I got it right?
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: That's exactly right. There's the old line.
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: I disagree with what you say, but I will defend
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: to the death your right to say it.
• 55:52
  Speaker 8: That's what our First Amendment is all about, and that's
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: what America.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Is all about.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Exactly. I mean, I think a lot of people got
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: embarrassed last night during the UFC fight. The guy won
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the fight, and he said, by the way, he took
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the microphone after he won the fight. He said, by
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the way, Michelle Obama's a man. And a lot of
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: people were like, oh, my God, what a disgusting thing
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: to say. And it may be a disgusting thing to say,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: but you have a right to say it. It's America.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: If he wants to say it, he can say it.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: If he loses sponsors from it, that's okay, too. If
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: some people like him because he said it, that's okay, too.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: You're allowed to say it in the United States of America,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: even if it offends people. Stop being a snowflake. That's
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: all I can say. We appreciate what you're doing, Connor Fitzpatrick.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: We appreciate FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. FIRE.org. FIRE.org.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for what you're doing. I want everyone to have
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the right to say what they want to say. even
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: if it offends, because you know what? I'm the most
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: offensive talk show host in America. I say whatever the
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: hell I want. So I appreciate it. Thank you, Scott.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Connor.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Connor Fitzpatrick from FIRE, FIRE.org, FIRE.org. Earlier in the show,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: we had Scott Bottoms, Republican candidate for the governor of Colorado.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Sounded fantastic, but I'm very skeptical any Republican can ever
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: win in a deep blue state anymore. It's just become impossible.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Because they're all rigged, I'm telling you, completely rigged. They
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: steal every election. I'm Wayne Allyn Root. Let me mention
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: on the way out, the sponsor of the show is
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Lost Soldier Oil & Gas, the golden age of Trump prosperity,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: all about making America the energy capital of the world.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Enter Lost Soldier Oil & Gas, headed by oil and
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: gas legend Mark Bruner, whose companies have created more than
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: $ 15 billion in shareholder value. At its peak, his company,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Pettico Energy, grew about 100 to 1, and ultra-petroleum soared 1,000
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to 1, a $ 10, 000 investment, turned into $ 13 million over
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: 10 years. But Lost Soldier could be much bigger than ultra-petroleum.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me? Much bigger than ultra-petroleum that soared
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: from 10,000 to 13 million. It could be the largest
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: gas discovery in the United States in the past 100 years,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: says Mark Bruner. And he says, I can defend that
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: statement 100%. It's 40,000-acre territory. In Wyoming, that took 40
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: years to piece together. The first 4,000 feet drilled so far.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Estimated to contain up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: The surge in AI data centers is what's placing this
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: soaring demand on energy resources. And this is how we
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: power the AI future of America with inexpensive, clean energy.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Natural gas. Go get them, Lost Soldier. To learn more

• 58:39
  Speaker 1: and I intend to do it a third time this year.

  Speaker 1: Welcome back. This is Warzone Live. We're the official podcast
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: of the Gateway Pundit. And, Oda, we have a great
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: guest for you today because still, in the end... illegal
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: immigration and boys and girls schools and transgender this and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: transgender that, the open border. There's a million issues in
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: the world, but to me, the number one issue is
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: making money. I'm like Trump, man, making money's in my DNA,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: making money's in my blood. I'm always looking for ways
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: to make more money. In the end, that makes an
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: awful lot of problems go away for the nation and
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: for the middle class and for the people of this country.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Making money has got to be our number one goal. Economy, jobs, GDP,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: That's what really matters. So I got a great guest
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: for you to talk about it. Lost Soldier Oil and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Gas has been the sponsor of this show for almost
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: a year now. Do you realize? It's been about a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: year that they've been the sponsor of my podcast, my
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: national radio show, my national TV show on Real America's
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Voice TV network. And it's really an amazing property. It
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: took 40 years to piece together this 40,000-acre giant gas discovery,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: estimated to contain up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: making it one of the largest natural gas discoveries in
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountain region in the last 30 years. And
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: they have a management forecast projecting just the first 25
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: wells to produce 400 million cubic feet per day of
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: natural gas. And by 2035, targeted production of over a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: billion cubic feet a day. An amazing project. And I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: invested in this project not once but twice last year.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: I intend to invest a third time this year. And
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I want to introduce you to the project. And I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: want to introduce you to the guy who is the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: CEO and the chairman of the board who invented this project,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Mark Bruner, CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, the website,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: by the way, lostsoldier.com, lostsoldier.com. Mark, welcome to the show.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't had you on in quite a while. You've
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: been running around the world raising money. You've been in Europe.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: You've been in Switzerland. You've been in Saudi Arabia. You're
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: all over the world. You're an amazing guy. You're always traveling.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: You're always raising money. You're always running your company. You
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: are a busy man like me. That's hard to nail
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: you down. So it's great to have you back on
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: So wonderful to be with you again, Wayne. Good to
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: see you.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: All right. So you're a second generation oil and gas man.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: You're actually a second generation oil and gas legend. Your
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: previous public companies, Penteco Energy, produced about 100 to 1
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: for every dollar invested. Investors and stockholders made $ 100. And
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Ultra Petroleum, spectacular return for investors. That one was 1,000
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: to 1 for every dollar invested. People got back 1,000.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: It was one of the biggest stocks of the entire
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: decade of, I think it was the 90s, right? It
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: was the go-go 90s. And that stock was one of
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: the highest flyers on Wall Street. So Lost Soldier is
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing company. project, but tell people why it's
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: so amazing, why I guess you think it's even bigger,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: biggest to your career, that would make it bigger than
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Penteco or Ultra Petroleum. Ultra Petroleum, a thousand to one
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: return on investment, and you say this is the biggest
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: to your career. What do you base that on?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: Well, when I compare it with Ultra Petroleum, it has
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: a sequence of regionally pervasive sands where we can see
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: based on the seismic interpretation, we can drill up to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: 500 horizontal wells so far that we can see. And
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: the other wonderful thing is that no one can drill
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: this for 50 years. We've known where all the basins
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: are for 50 years. All of them have been drilled,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: as far as I know, except this one. because there's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: a uranium mine out here that was whenever Three Mile
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: Island melted down in the early 80s. They started reclamating
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: this mine, Kennecott did, three years ago. They finished the reclamation.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: I got a call.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: I drilled it. And as they say, the rest is history.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: Certainly the largest gas field I've ever found. Right now,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: if you compare it with some of the other basins,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: there's thousands of feet of layer cake type, regionally pervasive,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: overpressured sands. It's very much like the Haynesville and the Utica.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: If any of you have heard of those plays, you've
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: probably heard of a guy named Jerry Jones that owned
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys. That's like his number one play now, okay,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: the Western Haynesville. And I would encourage everyone to compare
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: what we have with the Western Haynesville because I think
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: it certainly is comparable. The difference here is we're the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: only operator. No one else is in here. It's just us.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: We made the discovery. We have legacy infrastructure that is
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: on its last throes. We can tie into all that
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: legacy infrastructure. We're laying a five-mile line to start producing
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: gas this year. And, you know, the plan is when
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: we finish this private placement to be producing about 400,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: 500 million cubic feet a day, 300 million a year
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: in cash flow within 36 months. And then we plan
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: to build a 42 to 46 line 50 miles away
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: to the trading hook one center, about 10 times that.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: There's another guy named Warren Buffett that's looping on that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: line that's going out to California. So, you know, as
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: you all know, he's no fool. So he's going to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: send all his gas out to Pacific Corp and the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: West Coast. So we hope to be able to do that, too. Anyway,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: that's pretty much a summary, Wayne.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: So give me some new updates, because remember, I'm one
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: of your investors. I invested not once but twice last year.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Very big, healthy investments, by the way, from Wainroot. And
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: I plan to invest again this year. What's happened between
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: the last time we spoke on TV, which was probably
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: six months ago, although you've had your president of your
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: company and your COO talking to me on TV as well,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: but you were busy traveling. Give us some updates from
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: last year. What exciting things have happened? And tell me
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: what will happen this year in the year 2026.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know, one of the things that
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: we've done is that you're always looking for permits to drill.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: You're always looking for right of ways and other things
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: in order to be able to lay the pipelines. All
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: this is completed, okay? It's finished, okay? And so in,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: you know, we're going to start building this pipeline sometime
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: in July when what we call the winter stips are
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: off and we can get in here and lay that pipeline.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: We think it'll take, you know, 45 to 60 days
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: to finish the pipeline. Then we'll be producing gas, okay?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: So that's going to happen this year. We're very excited
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: about that. The other thing that I think is important
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: is that we have a deal with the federal government.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: All the leases that we have, they're federal and state leases,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: they've been put into what we call a federal unit,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: which means that it's all those different leases, we have
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: like 56 of them, they're one lease now. It means
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: that we can orderly develop this gas field with the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: cooperation of the federal government. They've stamped the deposit commercial.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: So all those things have happened. And, yeah, we think
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: we're going to be able to do that. We're hoping
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: to be able to drill some of the deep overpressure
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: horizontals this year, at least one, maybe two of those.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: We were anticipating 50 million a day plus wells. They're
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: going to be expensive. You know, they're $ 20 million to
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: $ 30 million apiece. But when you're producing those kind of rates,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: they pay out very quickly. And so, you know, possibly
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: within a year. So something, you know, the field next
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: to us, Wall Soldier Field, which I named my company after,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: that field's been producing for over 100 years, produced 450
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: million barrels, still does 3,500 barrels a day. And so.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Some of the deeper stuff that we're looking for and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: we think we'll find, we'll find some of those this
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: year as well. So very exciting times for us. And
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: by the way, we also drill more, not drilling for ourselves, Enbridge,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: which transports about 30% of the natural gas to the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: United States. And actually, we're entering into a 23 oil
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: contract with them. I think that would speak very highly
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: of our drilling people and their abilities. And, you know,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: we're very excited about that relationship with them as well.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: So we're going to be having revenue out of our
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: drilling company. out of our pipeline company, out of our
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: working interests. And those people that invest will also enjoy
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: a package of overriding royalty as well. So Yeah.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: And don't forget, the thing that got me was, you know,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: I have seen a lot of potential in my life.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I think this is the most potential I've ever seen.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: But potential is one thing that doesn't mean you ever deliver.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: You have a track record. That's amazing. That's great. Pinnacle,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Ultra Petroleum. Very impressive. That was a decision pusher for me.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, what else can you invest in?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Like if I put one hundred thousand dollars into stocks,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: and those stocks happen to go down, I would get
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: no tax break. It would do nothing for me until
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: the day they went back up. You get a $ 3, 000
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: deduction on stock losses in a given year. But with
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: oil and gas, it's the most generous tax deduction you
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: can ever get. It's 70% write-off the first year you invest.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: So if I put $ 100, 000 in, I get a $ 70, 000
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: tax deduction on my tax return in the first year
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: and the other 30 over the next, I think, three years, right?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty impressive.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: There's been a change. It's 100% now, not 70%.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 5: Under the Trump tax bills, okay?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: But that's for this year coming up, 2026. Yes, yes.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I invested in 2025, so I have to go by
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: the old rules, I assume, yeah?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: I think the other thing, too, is that the viewers
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: need to realize that we don't have to process any
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: of this. This is 93% methane, CH4. So no processing.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: We don't have to build any plants. When we put
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: it into the pipeline, it can go directly into homes.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: We have people contacting us about putting in data centers.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of options here that we're going to
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: be looking at, Wayne. So we'll keep you updated as
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: things happen this year.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: All right. Data centers would seem to be the way
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: to go. That's all anyone talks about now is data
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: centers and how much they they use so much energy. Well,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: you've got the energy for them. So it would seem
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: like would be a profit center. Last thing for accredited
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: investors who want to learn more and get involved. They
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: go to Lost Soldier dot com and then what happens?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Someone gets back to them.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get back to them.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: We'll give them the information so they can access all
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: the information. We'll answer their questions. And, you know, we
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: look at all our investors as a family. The lost
• 1:11:17
