  Speaker 6: Welcome, welcome, welcome to the broadcast. My name is Lee Elsie.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: Filling in for Wayne Allen Root. Wayne, again, will be

  Speaker 5: That's L-E-E-L-C-I radio at gmail.com.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: They call me the voice of freedom.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I am broadcasting from this extremely boiling hot studio in Connecticut.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: I know I've been talking about that all day. My
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: four-hour morning show, the AC. In this one room only.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: The rest of the building is gorgeous and golden and
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: a home run. But this one room, this one Little
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: office room.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not really an office. This studio is about
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: 350 degrees.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: So if I wind up sweating by the time we
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: are done, that is why. It's not because I'm nervous.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: It's not because I'm upset. It's because I am hot.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the show. Looking forward to it. We have
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: one of our friends from the Heritage Foundation will join us.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: In just a bit.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you've heard audio from Donald Trump, but eventually
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I'll play it in this opening break here because I
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: think it says a lot.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: A couple audio clips I have for you.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: But since the last time we talked, 24 hours have passed,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: and there was an exchange, if you will. I talked
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: a little bit about the Iranians hitting three ships in
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: the Straits of Hormuz, and then in the overnight hours,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: we struck them.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: 80 different times.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: And Trump has said he's going to going to strike
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: him again, possibly again tonight.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: And I thought, you know, this morning on my morning show,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I sort of talked a little bit about.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: What Iran is essentially all about as a nation. Like
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: we talk about the country, but it doesn't feel like
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: a lot of Americans know anything about it. Like if
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I were to ask most people in this country, I
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: hate to say this, but if.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: I were to ask most people, hey, where is Iran?
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: They would probably be like, I don't know, somewhere over there,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: somewhere in the Middle East might be the most intelligent answer.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't know anything about it. They wouldn't know how
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: many people. They wouldn't know what religion is. They don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: know maybe the commerce. So I figured, you know, if
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: you'll indulge me, I'll give you a quick, very quick,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: very basic background on what Iran is all about. It's
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: a mountainous region. It's basically almost like a fortress region.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: believe it or not. There's planes, but it's essentially in
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: a region, which is.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Why it's very, very difficult to get to.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: And the religion, the state religion, is Muslim, like 99% Muslim,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: predominantly Shia, and I'll get into that in a second.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: So roughly, like I said, 99% identify one way or
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: another some form of being Muslim. The core, actually, commerce,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: the economy, the strength is hydrocarbons, natural gas, oil.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: They also do petrochemicals.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Their top export is petrochemicals, iron ore, other agricultural.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Products, minerals. That's what they send out.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Other key sectors, they have an automotive manufacturing sector. They
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: have pharmaceutical sections, textiles, carpets, And I say this to
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: you guys because I think there's this thought that we're
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: simply dealing with a bunch of knuckle-draggers who don't know
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: anything about anything, and nothing could be further from the truth.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying there are a bunch of Einsteins running around,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: but they're certainly not third world.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: This isn't like dealing with Afghanistan. It's very different. Their
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: major trading partner is China, by far.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: They also trade with Turkey, Pakistan, India, and That's essentially
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: where they exchange most of their goods. Their employment by sector, essentially,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: their largest employer is the service industry, retail, public administration, education,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: health care, and hospitality, believe it or not. Their major industry,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: construction mining, oil and gas related. Their agriculture, the number
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: one thing is pistachios, believe it or not. They also
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: have grains, fruits, and livestock. Their common jobs, for the
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: most part, have to do with oil industry, petro workers, factory,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: manufacturing roles, those kinds of things. Some of their challenges,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: they have high youth unemployment.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: In some periods.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: They, you know, informal work, they have sanctions that end up,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: have hurt them in the past.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: They have about 93 million.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: People who live within the borders of Iran. highly urbanized,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: which may surprise you. 77% of the people in this
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: country live in cities. The median age is 34, so
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: it's a relatively young population. Most of the people were
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: born after the 1979 revolution, which is a lot. Their
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: ethnic breakdown is pretty, it's 61% Persian, and they have
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: about 10% Kurds, so there is a battle within a
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: battle inside, but Iran is ethnically and linguistically diverse, despite
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: the overall Persian dominance, the cultural dominance. It's basically a
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Persian country. Now, the military might. This is a little surprising.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I thought on paper they had a better military. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: according to my research today, they're somewhere ranked around 14th.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: As far as the strongest military might, they have 610
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: active members, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Their reserves are
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: about 350,000. They have a large additional force that they
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: can call on. Their strengths are large ground forces and
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: defense in depth. They have extensive ballistic missile arsenal and
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: a growing drone arsenal, which we have witnessed as well.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: They also have some things that we're just finding out about.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Although we didn't know about the super hypersonic missiles, they
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: have those. Their defense budget is roughly $ 10 billion, which
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: is modest compared to its capabilities or our capabilities. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: I was thinking, in addition to some of this, what
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: is this?
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: What's the goal?
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Because I'm trying to get inside the heads of Of
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: the new regime that's in charge. What's the goal? What
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: do they want? I mean, do they want regional influence?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I would assume yes. Do they want a nuclear capability?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I think that's clear. That would be a game changer.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: They want to be able to, I think, trade more openly.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: That would be my guess. But their overall approach, as
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: far as the military goes, is this fortress approach, right?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: But I think they want to prioritize independence, deterrent. They
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: want the nuclear capability. And they want, I think they
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: want complete dominance over that region. And with a nuclear weapon,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: they get it. And because they've had 50 years of
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: being some of the worst actors on the planet, there
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: is absolutely almost zero trust that Certainly zero trust that
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: we can give them, and we've already now learned an early.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Lesson in this negotiation with them.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Maybe Trump has learned an early lesson, which is you
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: cannot trust these people as far as you can throw them.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: They are constantly going to be battling you in one way, shape,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: or form for some kind of an edge, some kind
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: of upper hand, some kind of dominance in some area.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: And we gave them a whole bunch in this quote-unquote
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: deal that we were supposed to have discussions about, this
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: evolving deal, this memorandum, if you will, of agreement. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: they've already broken that, and we've hit them, and I
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: assume that they'll break it again, and we'll hit them.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: But the question is, what do we do now? Trump
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: says he's going to knock them around tonight.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Okay, I get it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: That.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: But Trump says a lot of things. And it's hard
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: for me to believe. I'm of the belief that a
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: negotiation at this point in time seems to be a
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: bit far-fetched.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: We can't trust them. They don't trust us.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: They want to make sure that there's some kind of
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: a disruption straight on.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Through the midterms.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I've talked about this multiple times. Wouldn't it be better
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: for the Iranians if they had a weak leader? Wouldn't
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: they want to wait until there's potentially a Democrat leader
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: in the White House? Because then they can negotiate and
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: get more of what they want. You would think a
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: negotiation with Trump, certainly you're never going to get to
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: that nuclear arsenal that you so desire. But Trump, as
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: many of you probably have already seen, had some very
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: ugly words.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: For his Iranian.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I was going to say friends in a sarcastic way,
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: but you can't even be sarcastic about that. Trump has now,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: it seems like he's gotten to that point where he
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: genuinely dislikes the.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: People that he has to deal with. And he had
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: this to say. I think it's over.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: You know what scum is? They're scum.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: They're sick people. They're led by sick people. And they're vicious,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Steve Woodcuff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: waste of time dealing with them.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: They're liars.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: We make a deal.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: And if I make a deal with him, we have
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: a deal.
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: And he goes out, he talks.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: We make a deal.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: Everyone's agreed.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: No nuclear weapon. We make a deal.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: They go outside, talk to the press. They say we
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: never even talked about it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: There's something wrong with them.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: They're cuckoo.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: As far as I'm concerned, it's over. They're cuckoo. All right,
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: so they're cuckoo. They're cuckoo. That was Trump early this morning.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I got one more cut I want to play here
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: in a second. Okay, I know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Trump has these bombastic ways to negotiate. A lot of
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: times he goes above and beyond, you know, what he's
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: really thinking to try to give you this illusion that
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: either he's on edge or he's very unhappy or, you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: a deal is impossible.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: And, you know, maybe this is one of those tactics.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: It's very possible.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: But when you call the people that you're supposed to
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: deal with scumbags and lunatics and cuckoo, you know, I
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: think you have drawn this artificial line in the sand
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: that I would think makes it kind of difficult for
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: you to get to the same place on these negotiations.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: And considering that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: It seems like in this original negotiation, the onset of this,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: we gave up a whole bunch.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: And I don't know how much more.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: We can give up and have the United States save face,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: if you will, and make sure that the ending deal
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: is worthwhile and worthy of what we've already put into it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: So I'm not really sure exactly how much more we
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: can give, which leads me to think, okay, what's the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: next step?
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: What are we going to do? I mean, we can't allow.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: This uncertainty with ships in the Straits.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: You can't do it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: You can't have an economic or a global economy where
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: a portion of that global economy flows through those narrow
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: straits if these ships don't know if they're going to
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: make it without getting fired upon. So what is the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: next move for the president? What else could we possibly
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: give the Iranians that we haven't already given them that
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: would allow some sort of formidable, long-lasting, not diplomacy, not
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: even peace, but a long-lasting stability in that particular region
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: so that the ships can go to and from and
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: we don't get $ 6 gallon of gas across the country,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: because I think that's what everybody's looking at. The Iranians,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they're all about stretching this thing out, getting
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: to the midterms. The more Or the closer we get
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: to the midterms, possibly the more Trump is willing to
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: cave on certain issues. But I think we've already caved
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: on about as many of the issues as we possibly can.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: That's just the way I see it. Obviously, I don't
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: have all the information that Trump has. But from my
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: novice position sitting here in this studio, smack dab in
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: the middle of Boston and New York, I feel like
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: there's only so many things that Trump can do now.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: We can continue to bomb them. People emailed me this morning,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: let's bomb them into oblivion. But you don't want to
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: start killing thousands and cases, maybe tens and hundreds of
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: thousands of civilians. I mean, we certainly have the ability
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: to do that, but we.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Can destroy the infrastructure. We can destroy the power grid.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: But do we want to do that?
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: That makes us look like the ogre, like the evil
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: person on the world stage.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: And then Trump, you know, was asked a question, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: he gave this answer.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: Would the Iran ceasefire possibly over? Can we expect a
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: resumption of policy? They are behaving very badly, as they
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: have for 47 years.
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: And, you know, we hit them hard last night after
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: they launched a couple of— you don't have to know about this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: You've got stuff on your mind. But they launched a
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: couple of drones and one rocket. one missile at chips
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: because they were in the strait, which they have every
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: right to be. And so we hit them very hard
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: last night, very, very hard. Probably hit them hard again tonight.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: I'll give them a little warning. We're going to hit
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: them hard tonight. But we'll see how it all works out.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: No, I'm not happy with them.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: It's like, for instance, we'll have a meeting and we'll
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: talk about the denuclearization of Iran because that's what.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: The war is. It's not a war.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: It's really the denuclearization of Iran. And we'll have a meeting,
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: and we'll talk about just that. That's because my whole
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: thing is not about regime change.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: It's not about that.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: Although I think it's regime change when you knock out
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: the first group, the second group, and now you're at the...
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: I think that's maybe the ultimate regime change. But that's
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: not what it's about.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: It's about.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: We don't want them to have nuclear weapons. And it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: denuking or denuclearization. And I think we've made a lot
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: of progress. And they'll get out of the room... We'll
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: talk about it like we're here. They'll agree on everything,
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: and then they'll go have a news conference and say
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: we never even talked about it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: They're cuckoo. There's something wrong with these people.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: And for 47 years, they've been the bully of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: Middle East, and they're not the bully anymore.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: The only thing I would disagree with, I would disagree
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: with a few things, but I do believe that originally
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: it was about regime change. I think he thought by
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: taking out all of the leadership in that one strike,
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: you were going to get an uprising from the Iranian people,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: and it never happened. And I don't know if there
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: was an exit strategy. I don't know if there was
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: a contingency plan for the Straits of Hormuz. It just
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: doesn't seem like, with all the smart people we have,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: with all the military might and the great generals and
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: everybody who's sitting around those military tables, it feels like
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: at this point in time, we didn't even factor in
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: this idea that they could slow down shipping in the Straits.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Otherwise, I think we would have looked at it very differently.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Anyway... Before we get to this break, Freedom Fest is happening.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: In fact, the World's Fair of Liberty is coming fast.

• 19:02
  Speaker 2: an advocate for GreatPatriotStore.com. He's been a customer for 36 years,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: almost four decades. My wife and I, Cindy, do much
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of our monthly shopping now at GreatPatriotStore.com. It's an alternative
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to Wokeness. It's run by pro-American conservatives.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: USA Today voted it one of the best.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Stores in America in 2025. And with all these communists
• 19:25

• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Tell us why.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: You know, a lot of our competitors have completely lost it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: They've gone totally woke over the years. But our founding
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: axiom is really very simple. For 41 years, we've been
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: focused on manufacturing exceptional products at reasonable prices, made by
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: Americans here in America for Americans.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And we've expanded.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: We have manufacturing plants across the United States, distribution plants
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: across the United States. And not only can Americans get
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: the best quality, the best price from Great Patriot Store,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: in most cases, we can deliver to your front door
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: even faster than Amazon.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: So prices are high everywhere.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Procter & Gamble and Amazon are considering price increases.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: How do the prices at Great.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Patriot Store compare to national brands?
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: Well, we've got hundreds of products, Wayne, but if you
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: just take a look at one like our laundry detergent,
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: we make it, it's patented, and it's literally almost fractions,
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: almost half the price of our competitors. And you get
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: 96 loads of wash. It's the best value. There's no
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: toxic chemicals in any of our products whatsoever. And if
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: you're looking to lose some of those holiday pounds, you
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: don't need the shots with the LPG-1 drugs. We have
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: something called Berberine. Nature's Ozempic is what people.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Are calling it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: It's legit.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: It works.
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: And we've got it at a better price than anybody, any.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: Of our competitors.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: We've got just seconds to go.

  Speaker 3: So be quick.

  Speaker 5: to remind you that this particular segment of the show
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: is being sponsored by Energized Health. Listen, you've seen Wayne
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Allen Root, man. He looks like an Adonis, for goodness sake, right?
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's lost 25 pounds of fat, including the
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: dangerous inner body visceral fat, gained about 10 pounds of muscle.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: and that intercellular hydration. So he talks about it all
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the time. He did it all in only 88 days. Now,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: five years later, he feels the best he has in
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: his entire life. He gives all the credit to Energized Health.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Energized Health is not a traditional weight loss program. It's

  Speaker 6: All right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Special guest joining us right now. I have I've been
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: lucky on the radio. I've got a chance to talk to,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: dare I say, dozens of great folks from the Heritage Foundation.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: I have a number of regulars that are weekly segment
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: to have weekly segments on my morning show here in Connecticut.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: And they are fantastic. And joining us right now, a Ph.D.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: research fellow, Thomas A. Rowe Institute for Economic Policy Studies.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: and a senior advisor. He's at the Heritage Foundation, Alan Mendenhall. Alan,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: thank you for coming on. I appreciate it very much.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Hey, I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks for having me.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: All right, so we got chaos again, man, right? So
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: oil popped back up today. Early this morning, I didn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: get a chance to see it since about 10, 11 o'clock,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: but it was already up $ 7, $ 8. So I'm assuming
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: that we can, if something doesn't drastically change here and
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: we don't get some kind of deal, that the price
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: of gasoline is going to go up, correct?
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably so. Today, the price at the pump didn't
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: really change, but the price of a barrel of oil
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: is going up. I suspect we're going to go back
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: to where we were when the straight wasn't open, assuming
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: the straight closes. Hopefully, we can keep the straight open.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: We're still at a point where we don't have nearly
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: the amount of traffic that we had beforehand. I mean,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: We were getting 150, maybe on an incredible day, 200
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: ships through. Right now, on a good day, we're getting
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: 50 ships through that straight. And when we're talking 20%
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: of the world's oil supply going through that critical choke point,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: that's a big deal. So, yeah, I think I would
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: not be surprised to see the gas prices go up.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And this is just as they were starting to come down, too.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: They had creeped up. from February, March, and April. And
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: then May, they peaked, and they were just coming back down.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: So disappointing, but not surprising at the same time.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: So everybody, you know, always asks this question, and I
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: ask it of people, and it's always an unsatisfactory answer.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: And I don't expect you to give me a great,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: you know, a great, I'll come to Jesus moment for
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: everybody listening. But, you know, everyone says that we're supposedly
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: energy independent. And I know, you know, oil is a
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: global market. But Why don't we just pump more? Why
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: don't we pump more here and sort of limit the
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: overall negative exposure we have to the world market? Can
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: we do that, or is that just too hard and
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: too difficult to lift?
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Well, part of it has to do with regulations, which
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: have been eased in the current administration. And part of
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: it has to do with if you're a private company
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: and you think that this conflict is just going to
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: be really short-term, you may not want to spend all
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: the money it takes to start ramping up production if
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: you think the conflict's just going to be short. We've
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: been dipping into our oil reserves quite a bit. But yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: there's really nothing that stops these companies from pumping more,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: and they may have to. Look, they may have to.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: One interesting dynamic is Venezuela has the number one largest
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: proven oil reserves in the world. But they have all
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: this kind of crude stuff that isn't refined. And we
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: have the ability to refine. So now that we have
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: this new relationship with Venezuela, it'll be interesting to see
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: if we're able to tap into some of that oil.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: I know both Exxon and Chevron are starting to expand
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: operations down there. So we'll see. There's just so much
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: corruption and stuff like that that is inhibiting to the
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: access to oil there.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: But we'll see.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: But is there a way for, let's say, these United
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: States companies, whether it's Exxon or Mobil or whoever, I mean,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: if they were to produce more, can they decide where
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: they sell it or does it have to go on
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: a global market?
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: No, they could. I mean, they could decide where to
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: sell it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's good for our oil companies
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: to export. I mean, we are, you know, we're like
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: the number one producer of oil and we have been
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: energy independent since 2019. Where we're really, really good is
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: the liquefied natural gas, though, because we have these shale
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: deposits in like New Mexico and Texas that just don't
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: exist in other places. I mean, You can't just be
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: a country that just says, oh, let's just try to
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: like increase our liquefied natural gas because we're talking about
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: like millions and millions of years of sedimentary activity that
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: just can't be replicated. China actually has more extensive shale
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: deposits than we do, but they're in these really arid
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: areas that are tough to get to. It's really hard
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: to frack because the ground's really hard there. So even
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: though they have more extensive shale deposits there, it's more
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: difficult for them to get to them. So we're just
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: lucky in that regard that we just have the topography,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: we have the geography, we have the history and the
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: natural resources to be able to get that liquefied natural gas.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: And that's a really key thing because that's where we
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: get our energy. The oil is for the travel and
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: the transportation and jet fuel and putting it in our cars.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: But that that energy stuff is really important, especially now
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: that we're growing in AI, because a lot of that
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: AI is going to depend on that sort of that
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: type of energy.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: Talk to me about the political ramifications. You mentioned Venezuela, right?
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: So there are some people who truly believe that Trump
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: is playing this 3D game of chess while we're all
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: playing marbles, right? So we're all playing checkers and he's
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: doing the 3D chess. And you get Venezuelan oil, okay?
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: You have pseudo control over that. And if we were
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: ever able to get the Iranian oil, at least some
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: control over how it's dispersed, we would then essentially have
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: China almost at their knees is, I mean, do.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: You think that was part of this plan?
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: And on the onset, I mean, some people think that's
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: like a 50, 60 year plan that was put in,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: put in place, you know, prior to right about the
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: time of the Iranian revolution.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, is that something that, that you think is
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: a possibility?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I have a hard time imagining that it wasn't at
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: least a factor. When you take into account that the
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: number one importer of Venezuelan oil was China and the
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: number one importer of Iranian oil was China, I find that...
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: hard to be a coincidence. Some other kind of geopolitical
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: dynamics that are different now, in light of the Strait
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: of Hormuz closing, you had UAE, as of May 1st, say,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: we're out of OPEC. We're tired of these quotas. We
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: want to pump as much oil as we want. And,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: you know, we've got other OPEC countries that are cheating
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: without consequence. And like, What do we get out of
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: OPEC now? Like we're not getting anything out of it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Let's let's get out. And now we can pump as
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: much oil as we want. And so when the strait
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: becomes fully open, I mean, it's it's open now, but
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: it is not fully open. Like I said earlier, we're
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: not getting 150 ships through every day. But when we
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: do and UAE is pumping oil, you know, that's going
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: to be a big game changer. Especially if you have
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: other OPEC countries look at what UAE is doing and say,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: wait a second.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: They're going to do that. Let's do it too.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Well, speaking to that, I mean, a lot of people
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: don't know anything about the petrodollar. And we're talking with
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: Alan Mendenhall from Heritage Foundation. A lot of folks think
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: that maybe, you know, with the Iranians, India, I think,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: you know, got together. China as well wanted to flip,
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: if you will, how oil was bought.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: And get it off the market. Of the United States dollar.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: So is that part of this equation? How important is
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: it for us to keep that petrodollar?
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Well, gosh, yeah, that's a tough question. I mean, I
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: think it's important for sure whether that would actually happen.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm... Crazier things are happening. There are
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: things that I say, I don't see that being possible. Well,
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: I've said that about like five or six things that
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: happened over the last five or six years, so who knows? But,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: you know, the one thing that we really do need
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: to do is get this situation in Iran figured out because...
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: It is contributing to inflation. I mean, headline inflation is
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: at 4.2%. And the reason you can tell that the
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: oil situation is contributing to that is because if you
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: look at core inflation, it's still below 3%. Headline inflation,
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: as measured by the CPI, includes energy costs and and
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: food costs, but core inflation doesn't. So when you remove
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: the energy and food costs, and you see that core
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: inflation is that much lower, you realize, oh yeah, it's definitely,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: this oil situation is definitely what's given us these inflationary problems.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, we've got to figure that out
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: or else we're going to have to deal with that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: We get a new CPI report next week, by the way.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to that to see, you know, At first,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I was looking forward to see like, oh, how much
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: better is it going to be now that gas prices
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: have dropped? But now that we've got this new change
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: here in Iran, you know, over the last 24 hours,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: I might be looking at it to see what hasn't
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: changed or what may have even gotten worse.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: You know, anybody who does the food shopping in their
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: family knows that inflation is still it's a heavy burden
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: on every household.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: You go to buy the most basic foods now, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: you're looking twice.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: You're looking three times. Families are making a decision.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I'm making a decision whether or not to put back
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: that box of cereal.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I always talk about that.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I looked yesterday, as a matter of fact, as I
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: was walking through, and they had this special on a
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: box of Cheerios. It was a big box, but it
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: was like six bucks. I mean, six bucks is a
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: special price? That's crazy. I mean, what world am I
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: living in? So, yeah, I think hopefully... that the gas
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: prices can come down because, you know, as well as everybody,
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: the idea that the midterms are right around the corner. And,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: you know, the last thing we want to do is
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: lose the House and potentially the Senate because nobody can
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: afford their regular bills every single month.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're exactly right. And that's the only thing
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: that really the Democrats can latch on to is Iran
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: and this inflation. But it is important to keep it
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: in context. I mean, yeah, we've got 4.2 percent, but
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: it was 9.1 percent under Biden with gas prices over
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: five dollars. So we have short term memories and we
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: forget that. And it's important to bear that in mind
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: just to contextualize things. The other thing is, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: we've gotten pretty good jobs reports. I mean, this this
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: latest one was beneath expectations, but it was still not bad.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, our only real bad month was February where
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: we had some declines. But the other thing is the
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: stock markets. are going gangbusters. I guess not everybody has
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: access to capital markets and can invest, but those who
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: do are seeing records. The Dow Jones has hit 21
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: records in 2026 alone. And that's not even counting the
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: records that the S & P 500 and the NASDAQ
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: have hit. I mean, we're seeing rallies that are unbelievable. Obviously,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: today wasn't a great day for the markets, but it's
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: one day. You know, it's a one-off. So, people are
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: seeing those 401Ks as the president continues to remind us,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: making astronomical gains. And, you know, maybe this is a
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: good thing with the Trump accounts, to get these young
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: kids invested early on with looking at You know, looking
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: at capital markets, learning how to invest, getting financial literacy.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: So I see a lot of positives. You know, the
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: gas is the most negative. But again, to contextualize, it's
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: not nearly what it was under Biden.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: So give us a little bit more detail on the
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: latest BLS job report.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: What insight can you tell us moving forward from that
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: late when the latest report I think came out with yesterday, today, yesterday?
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I guess the positive is that we did
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: gain jobs. So it wasn't what we were expecting, but
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: we did gain jobs. Unemployment stays about the same. It
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: shows that the economy is kind of stable. It's resilient.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: But one interesting thing is where we were gaining jobs.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I know earlier in the year, people would say, oh, yeah,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: we had a good jobs report, but it was just
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: all health care, as if that were just a totally
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: bad thing. But this time, we saw gains in the
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: category of professional and business services. And so that's like,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're professionals, engineers, lawyers, accountants, whatever, scientists, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: that type of stuff, which is interesting to me. That suggests,
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: I think, a very positive sign that some career-oriented sectors
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: are growing. And I guess we're also seeing, I guess,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: hiring in some ways. Yeah, wages are still growing. Hiring
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: is cooling. I mean, the only positive you may take
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: from that is that It signals that we might have
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Fed Reserve cutting rates later in the year. I don't know.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: On the dot plot, we have suggestions that the Fed's
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: going to maintain rates or maybe even raise interest rates.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I personally don't like anything that the Federal Reserve does whatsoever.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: But I wish the thing didn't exist. But if you're
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: trying to take it from the president's perspective, he's been
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: calling for a reduction in interest rates. And if you're
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: on board with that, it's that would be a positive.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I get nervous about the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: to artificial rates, because that's also how you get inflation.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: If you just put too much circulation into the money supply,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: too much money in circulation, and you risk stimulating the
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: economy based on artificial numbers, that's always a bad thing.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: So that stuff makes me nervous. But But yeah, I
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: think the jobs report is for the most part, yeah,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: it was below expectations, but is it bad news? No,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: it's not bad news. It's just news.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: We're talking with Alan Mendenhall.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: I got one more for you before we run out
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: of time, but this is sort of a 30,000 foot
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: view question. I'm sure you get it all the time. But,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: you know, you mentioned artificial intelligence. So I know with
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: the birth of the internet, you know, jobs were created
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: because of the internet. This feels different to me, right?
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: It feels like artificial intelligence for how amazing it is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: And it is, it's going to.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Be incredibly destructive to jobs that, you know, you may
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: farm out to somebody else.
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: Like you, you don't need graphic designers anymore.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: You're not going to need anybody to, you know, do
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: these tasks that even creative tasks that, you know, the
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: middle rung folks do.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: Would do down the road.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: You don't need anybody to talk to you about real estate.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the number of jobs that are
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: going to be replaced or eliminated, I mean, it's almost endless.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: Where do you see that?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Do you see a lot of new jobs or equal
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: jobs being birthed from AI, or do you see a
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: massive loss there in the end?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I share the anxiety, but I try to keep
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: a historical perspective in mind and look back over the
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: course of centuries. I mean, we panicked when the printing
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: press came out. We panicked when we had cars. I mean,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: there are a lot of jobs that we don't have anymore.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was a huge demand for train conductors
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: at one point, and we don't do train. There was
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: a huge demand for switchboard operators.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Horse and buggy drivers, right?
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, a lot of things like that. And
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: so I try to bear in mind that there are
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: things that will come out of AI that are just unforeseeable.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: We don't know what they're going to be. That's the
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: whole notion of Schumpeter's theory of creative destruction is that, yeah,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: you get some really disruptive technology that comes in, and
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: it does eliminate jobs in different sectors, but it creates
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: new jobs that are totally unanticipated. And it's because they're
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: unanticipated that I can't say what they're going to be.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: So I just have to be hopeful that AI follows
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: the historical pattern of other innovations and other technologies that
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: came about and that we'll find new things and new
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: forms of, of, of jobs. But yeah, I do share
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: the anxiety because I don't have a crystal ball. I
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: can't see the future. So I, I share that anxiety.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: Alan Mendenhall.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Tell everybody where they can find you and the pieces
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: that you've written and what you got going on over
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: at the Heritage Foundation.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thanks. My website is www.alanmendenhall.com. I say that
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: because it rolls off the tongue. I had this one
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: host make fun of me because I throw the www.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: He's like, you know you don't have to say that anymore.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just my name, alanmendenhall.com. And then, of course,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: you can always go to the free enterprise initiative at
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: the Heritage Foundation and look at what we're doing there.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: We're doing a lot of cool corporate engagement where we're
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: filing shareholder proposals for with companies that are doing some
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: bad things. So that's fun work.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: Outstanding.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Listen, I appreciate it. It was great talking to you.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: Let's do it again real soon, but I thank you,
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: and I'll talk down the road.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Sounds good. Thanks for having me.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: All right, brother.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: You got it. All right, we'll take a short break.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Don't forget, you can watch what's going on, thegatewaypundit.com, Wayne's Rumble,
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Wayne's X, Getter, Root for America, all those great spots.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Of course, if you're listening on one of the great
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: radio stations across the country, thank you for doing that.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: We'll take a short timeout. You are listening and watching
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: The War Zone.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: All right, Wayne Allyn Roots, joining me is Silvano DiGenova,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: owner of Tangible Investments.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: Sil, I've known.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: You forever, and I've been buying gold.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Forever and silver forever and rare coins forever.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: It's great to have you with us.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: With the Iran deal done, how do you see the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: economy and inflation moving in the near future?
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: Well, nothing's really changed.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: We're in an.
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: inflationary environment. The government deficits are through the roof. The
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: reality is that oil prices may come down, but inflation
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: is going to be with us long term.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: How does inflation impact the demand.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: For gold and silver?
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: Well, the more inflation there is, the more demand there's
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: going to be for gold. People want to get away
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: from their paper assets. They want to hold something that
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: is going to hold its value or appreciate in an
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: inflationary times. And gold and hard assets are the only
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: real thing that are an insurance policy against this type
• 42:20
  Speaker 11: of inflation.
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: And the reality is we may still have rampant inflation.
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: And we saw that. under a different administration. And this
• 42:31
  Speaker 12: one's doing okay to try and buckle it down. But long-term,
• 42:36
  Speaker 12: government spending is not going to stop. World government spending
• 42:39
  Speaker 12: is not going to stop.
• 42:41
  Speaker 11: And that's going to be good for gold and hard
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: assets into perpetuity at this point.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: And world debt is not going to stop. And America's
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: debt is not going to stop. It just keeps getting
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: higher and higher. How should buyers of gold and silver
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: know which gold products to buy and what to avoid?
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: Well, they certainly don't want to buy products that trade
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: or are being offered at big premiums. If you're going
• 43:07
  Speaker 11: to buy gold as your hedge, you want it as
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: close to the spot price of gold as possible. Right now,
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: we have an anomaly.
• 43:17
  Speaker 12: You can actually buy some fairly rare coins at no
• 43:21
  Speaker 12: premium or very little premium to just bullion coins, like
• 43:26
  Speaker 12: $ 20 gold pieces that are 100 years old.
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: We're selling them at.
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: $ 50 over the melt price.
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: Or you can buy.
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: Bullion coins from us at a very small premium over
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: the spot price. There's a lot of gimmicks out there,
• 43:45
  Speaker 12: a lot of companies selling certified gold coins at big
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: premiums and saying they're a gold investment.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Well, they're not.
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: I mean, you're going to have to overcome their markup.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: If you want gold, silver, precious metals, or rare coins
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: from a real firm with real credibility and honest pricing,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: call Sill. Tangible Investments is Silvana's company. 888-330-4351.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: Or go to the website they created just for my fans.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Rootforgold.com. Tell them War sent you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: Whoa.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: All right, I think we're back, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: Did I just cough into the mic? That's just unprofessional
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: of me. Send me home. Tell me to take the
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: rest of the day off. I never know that. I
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: never did. I got my own button here that says
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: the cough button, and I wasn't prepared. Maybe nobody heard it.
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: And again, maybe everybody heard it, and then I'll be
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: very embarrassed. This segment is brought to you by Tangible Investments. Yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: How important is it to own gold? Yeah, that'd be nice.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: China's central bank just increased their gold reserve for the
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: 18th consecutive month. China is preparing for what's coming. Are
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: you preparing for what's coming? Buying gold may not be enough.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: You need to buy at the right price. And this
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: is where buyers get misled. Other gold companies say we
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: charge 1% over cost, but Whose cost are they talking about?
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: The real question you need to ask is, what are
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: you charging me over spot price? Then compare that answer
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: to tangible investments. Tangible has been in business for more
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: than 40 years. They've handled more than $ 2 billion in transactions,
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: and their team brings over 200 combined years of experience.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: Right now, tangible investments is offering gold bullion at just
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: 1% over spot. That's unheard of, ladies and gentlemen. They
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: offer silver as low as 3%. If you want gold, silver,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: precious metals, or rare coins from a real firm with
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: real credibility and honest pricing, call Tangible Investments right now.
• 46:03

• 46:03
  Speaker 7: 888-330.
• 46:03

  Speaker 6: for Wayne's fans. That's RootForGold.com.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: RootForGold.com.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: And tell them war sent you.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about it.
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: One of the subjects I think I talk about probably
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: more than any other conservative talk show host in the
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: entire country.
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: And this country is a republic. It's a republic.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: Our founding fathers built on liberty, self-government, and unapologetic American exceptionalism.
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: All right, follow along. And I want to ask you
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: the question before.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: America dissolves into something unrecognizable. When it comes to Islam,
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: are we in the West just too stupid to survive?
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: Look around.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: After more than two decades since 9-11, countless terror attacks,
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: waves of migration that have stained our cities and our culture,
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: we still cling to this myth, the myth of the
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: moderate Muslim. We treat it like gospel.
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: We act like.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: If we pretend it's really not happening, then it will disappear.
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: The incompatibility will disappear.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: It won't.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: So let's be honest. We are a constitutional republic. We
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: are built on Judeo-Christian values. I talked about that yesterday.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: Individual rights. Assimilation, whether you like it or not.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: And not every ideology can coexist without changing who they are.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: You have to coexist here. You have to seed some
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: of your own culture. We are a great melting pot.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: And that's a wonderful thing. Anybody who says a conservative
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: doesn't believe in the great melting pot is lying.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: They're not being factual.
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: But Islam, as practiced and as preached in its foundational text,
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: demands something fundamentally different. A global caliphate where Sharia rules and.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: Western freedoms bend the knee. It's just a fact. Think
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: What other toxic ideology gets a polite moderate prefect?
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: Have you ever heard this before? Think about it for
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: a second.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: They always have to throw moderate in front of Muslims.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Were there any moderate Nazis in Congress, even in Congress
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: before World War II?
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: No.
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Were they cherry-picking good parts of Mein Kampf?
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: No.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: Are there moderate Klansmen? who only lynched on weekends? Are
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: there moderate wife beaters who promise not to leave bruises?
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Of course not. It doesn't work. like that.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: Those ideas were rightly rejected because it just doesn't make
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: any sense. But here in this country, we want to
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: throw moderate in front of Muslims to make everybody happy.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: Why do we do it?
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: Ilhan Omar has become the poster child for this so-called moderation.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Ha!
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: But she shows up in Western clothes, stylish turbans, groomed eyebrows,
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: nail polish, and all of it.
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: But you know what?
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: The Islamic doctrine is clear. Women must be fully covered.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Altering God's creation is forbidden in many ways. And Muhammad
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: cursed women who dressed like men. But why did she
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: get away with it? Well, she's in a position of
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: extreme power. She used vulgar language in Congress.
• 50:09
  Speaker 10: She.
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: She's done everything essentially against the Muhammad. But Muhammad himself, again,
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: called out these cafeteria believers, hypocrites is what he's called them.
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: He's reserved a special worst place in hell for all
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: of them. But the bottom line is the reality of
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: Islam isn't hidden.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: It's in the Koran.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: And women like Ilhan Omar are just tools of that Koran.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: You may call me crazy. You may think I'm out there.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: You think maybe I talk too much about this stuff.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: But I've watched what has happened over in Europe. I
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: watch what's happening in some pockets here in this country.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: I watch what's happening on my doorstep here in Connecticut,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: in New York City. And in a culture where husbands
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: may beat disobedient wives, where non-Muslim women can be taken
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: as spoils, where if you're a homosexual, you get stoned.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: There's certain levels of violence that you'll incur if you
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: listen to music or play chess.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Or laugh too much. You can take a beating for that.
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: True fact.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: And in some cases, innovation in a Muslim faith is forbidden.
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: Imagine that.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: Imagine not being able to be innovative. How does that
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: jive with America?
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: That's what we're all about. We're all about innovation. We're
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: all about capitalism.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: We're all about this amazing experiment of the republic.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: But it doesn't work through the Muslim lens. It just
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: won't work.
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: Our republic thrives when newcomers embrace our language, our laws,
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: our culture of liberty. Not when they import parallel societies
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: demanding special accommodation. You can't come here and demand that
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: wherever you're living is a mirror of where.
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: You came from. If that's the case, why are you
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: coming here?
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: I talked last week about the grooming gangs in Europe,
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: no-go zones in Europe, demands for Sharia courts in Europe,
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: honor violence, and terror plots that have happened right here
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: in this country. And every time we prioritize diversity over assimilation,
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: we weaken the bonds that hold us together. I throw
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: myself into the mix. Again, I've talked about this before.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: My grandmother spoke broken English. My grandfather didn't speak any English.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: I never knew him.
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: He was dead before I was born. But they came
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: here and they worked as hard as you possibly can work.
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: And they learned how to speak English. And they put
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: two other, my grandmother could speak three languages, Italian, Albanian,
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: and eventually English. But they came here to assimilate, to
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: live this amazing.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: Lifestyle of freedom. They didn't come here to bring Italy
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: with them.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: The idea of out of many come one is an
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: idea that we all should hold. Not out of many
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: a fractured caliphate in waiting. That's not what we want.
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: And leftism compounds the problem, tearing down our own heritage
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: while importing one that despises who we are. And the
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: left cheers that. Somehow that is compartmentalized by our progressive friends.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: as being like the Holy Grail.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: You have to be.
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: So welcoming to the diversity to the point where your
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: own culture is destroyed.
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: And guess what? This isn't Islamophobia.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: It's a pattern recognized, rooted in 14 years, 100 years
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: of history with the Islamic faith and their doctrine.
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: This is what they want to do. They've said it.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: We're going to come. We're going to ask for your tolerance.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: We're going to ask eventually for your forgiveness. And then
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: we're just going to multiply. And in the end, we're
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: going to run different sections of different areas. And before
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: too long, we're going to run more and then more
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: and then more. And then next thing you know, you're
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: looking like Europe. I just ask you, if you don't
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about, if this sounds like a
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: foreign language to you, just go.
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: You know, Google Islam... the Islam invasion of England. And
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: just watch.
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: Just soak it up. I'm not making this stuff up.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: So if I have to be one of the few
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: people that scream about this at least once a week,
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: I'll be the one, you know, the one person, the
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: one lunatic that screams about this once a week. Because
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: I watch it happening in New York City. You know,
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: the socialist angle of the Democrat socialists of America through
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: Mondami is bad enough. But, you know, the socialists, as
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: I've talked about before on this show and my own,
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: The Muslims are using this socialist angle as a way
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: to infiltrate all of it.
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: We have every right. We have a duty, by the way.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: I have a duty. You have a duty to scream
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: at the top of your lungs that your culture is okay.
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: To systematically destroy it is not okay. It's not.
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: And it's time for us to really secure the borders
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: and chain migration and.
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: The refugee pipelines.
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: The hostile regions coming in here demand, by the way,
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: demand full assimilation.
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: Or you have to be repatriated. I mean, what are
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: you coming.
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: Here for if you don't want to, you can bring
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: your culture with you, but you can't take your culture
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: and replace it with mine. Or vice versa, take my
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: culture and have it replaced with yours. You need to
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: teach your kids, by the way, the truth about this.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: You need to Educate everybody in your family, all the
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: people in your inner circle. Our founding fathers warned us
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: over and over and over again about foreign influences undermining liberty.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: And they gave us this republic, as Ben Franklin famously said,
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: we have the republic if we can keep it.
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: And can we keep it? It's a great question.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: We are fighting things on all fronts, whether it's internal strife,
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: whether it's the fight against ICE, whether it's this fight
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: here against the Muslim invasion, whether it's a fight against
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: the socialist ideals, we.
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: Are constantly battling in this republic of ours.
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: And all of us who are, I think, righteous and
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: stand for what I think is the freedom and the
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: liberty and what the founding fathers wanted, we have to
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: fight together. We have to get arm in arm and
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: try to make a magnificent difference before.
• 57:10
  Speaker 6: It's all said and done. I mean, Islam isn't like
• 57:14
  Speaker 6: Italian or Irish immigration. It's not like that.
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: Assimilation into America was what they wanted, what my grandparents wanted.
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: It was part of the fabric of coming here. I mean,
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: it's a comprehensive political religious system. That's what Islam is.
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: It's different.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: It's got its own legal code that claims supremacy over
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: man-made constitution.
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: And we've ignored this. and acted like it's not really happening,
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: but it is.
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: And polls are showing growing support for Sharia among Muslim
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: populations in the West.
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: And right now is the first.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: Time ever that more Americans support what's the Palestinian side
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: of things than the Israeli side of things. There is
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: a definite tilt in the way things are perceived in
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: this country. So the question, I guess, is, The question
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: isn't whether moderate Muslims exist as individuals trying to live peacefully.
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, some surely do. Of course some surely do.
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to condemn all of them. The question
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: is whether you can bet our civilization's survival on it.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: bet your.
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: Kids' survival on that?
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: And America first, which I think most of us want
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: to live through, means putting our people, our culture, our
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: constitution first. A pro-republic means defending the rule of law
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: against any rival legal system, not laying down because you
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: think people are going to call you an Islamophobe or
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: somehow they're going to call you racist or whatever image
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: or term that they can conjure up to try to
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: belittle you or slow you down. I mean, if we
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: refuse to face this reality, if we keep importing a
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: problem while silencing debate, I'm just looking for debate, then yes,
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: we may be too stupid to survive.
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: There's a video.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: Circulating on these social media sites.
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: It popped up, I think, on my Instagram where there was.
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: An Englishman walking down the street and the police were
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: waiting for him to say anything. All he did was
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: say something just slightly negative about Muslims and they put
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: him in chains and hauled him away. england england free
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: speech has been minimized fact absolute fact so we all
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: still have the spirit i think of 1776 we can
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: choose strength and clarity and we can choose this exceptional
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: republic over disaster i guess All right, I think that's
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: it for me. I'm sweating bullets here, and I want
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: to thank Wayne for allowing me to do this. It's
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: always fun to fill in for Wayne Allen Root. My
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: thoughts are he'll be back tomorrow, right here, right hitting, well,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: he'll be in his own seat out in Vegas, but
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: he'll have his, I think he stands up. He stands
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: up during the show.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: You can watch what's going on, the Gateway Pundit, Wayne's Rumble,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: Wayne's X, Getter, Root for America. Write that down in crayon.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: Put it up on your refrigerator. And remember that because
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: maybe you're having dinner.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: Maybe you're having chicken cutlets or some spaghetti or something.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: And you're like, you know what?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 6: I feel like I need to hear some Wayne. And
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: you log on to the Gateway Pundit and voila, there
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: he is. Like, imagine. So check that out. It's always fun.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: You guys have a fantastic day. We'll do it next time.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 6: And keep watching and listening to The War Zone. See you.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: My new book is out, How Illegal Immigrants Have Made
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: America Great. You can only get it at Amazon. How
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Illegal Immigrants Have Made America Great. Finally, all of their
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: unsung achievements in one book, and it's 100-plus blank pages.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, I get it. It's a gag gift.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: And it even says on the front, warning, do not
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: show this book to Democrats. Their heads will explode. And
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: the greatest gift ever for conservatives, Republicans, MAGA patriots, and
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: anyone born in the USA, how illegal immigrants have made
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: America great. 100 blank pages. Go get 10 copies, 20 copies.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Give it out to all your friends.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: So they get the message that illegal immigrants have not
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: done anything to make America great. And by the way,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Understand my theory here. Legal immigrants have done lots of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: things to make America great. Our whole country is legal immigrants.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: My grandparents were legal immigrants. Your grandparents were legal immigrants.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Your great-grandparents were legal immigrants. John Jubilee is with us,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: owner and founder of Energized Health, EnergizedHealth.com.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: Hey, John Jubilee, what's going on? Hey, mighty Wayne Allen Root.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Great to see you, brother.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: All right, we got a quick video to play and
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: then we'll get to our conversation with John.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: So play the video.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: I am tickled to death. I feel better than I
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: have in years.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 13: I went from being on Ozempic for 13 years. I
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 13: didn't realize how much strength I'd lost and how much
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 13: it was affecting my life. I'd been in the hospital
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: from pancreatitis caused by Ozempic. My digestive system's working properly again.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 13: I used to carry around Rolaids.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: All the time.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: I can't believe I'm getting my life back after being
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: subjected to that stuff for that many years.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: I'm off of it.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I can't be happier.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 6: That was my biggest goal.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: You told me that.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: You could help me.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Johnny Jubilee, you've done a great job for
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: all my fans. And the big issue now is so
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: many people think they found this miracle drugs, or drugs
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: in plural, because it's this entire range of GLP-1s. Zempik, Manjaro,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: many others, they've become very popular. Why do you think
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: they're popular? I think it's because it's like fast food, right?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to put in any effort at all. They
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: want to pop a pill, and they want to magically
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: be thin.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work like that. No, you're totally right, Wayne.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: And it really is, it is an actual epidemic. It
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: is epidemic proportions. So listen to these numbers, Wayne.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: There's over 40 million, 40 million Americans on it today.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: Another $ 30 million anticipated to get on in this next
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: 12 months.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: So I love it, Wayne, that as only you, you
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: are a crusader of truth.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: You're a crusader of truth.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: So I believe, Wayne, this show that we're going to
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 7: talk about today will be something people can go back.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: And say, I remember... where I was.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: On April 6th, 2026 on the Wayne Allen Root Show,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: John and Wayne talked about this issue. And 24 months
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: from now, Wayne, there'll be 70 million people shaking their
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: head saying, I wish I would have listened to what
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: those guys say. And here's what I want to say
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: about it, guys, is look, will you lose weight on Ozempic? Absolutely,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: you're going to lose weight. You're and you're gonna lose
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: some fat and some bone and some bone. Yes, you're
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: gonna lose bone density. So this is real science. This
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: is not my opinion. This is not Wayne's opinion. The
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: scientific studies are already out. Ozempic has been around for decades.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: You just heard a gentleman, he's been on it for
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: 13 years. By the way, he got fat. He gained
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: 40 pounds of fat on Ozempic because it only works, guys,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: for the first year. And then you start gaining back
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: all your fat, but you never gain back your water
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 7: and you never gain back your muscle and you never.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: Gain back your bone.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: You are permanently harmed from doing these drugs. Even Oprah
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: Wayne said it. She said, I did it for a year.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: And then I worked out and I ate the protein.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: I did everything they said to do, she said, and
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: I still gained back all my fat. So it is
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 7: not a long-term solution, guys. It is absolutely something that
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: is super short-term. But Wayne, can I just say a
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 7: gracious statement to everybody? Because listen, there may be hundreds
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: of thousands of people.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: Watching us today. You're already on it.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: Listen, if you're on it, then guess what? You better
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: give yourself a safety net. You better give yourself a
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 7: safety net. And the perfect safety net is the Energize
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: Health Protocol. Because why? Because we help you gain your hydration.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: Ozempic guarantees you you're going to lose hydration. We guarantee
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: you're going to gain it. They guarantee you're going to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: lose your muscle. We guarantee you're.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: Going to gain it.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: So you might as well protect yourself from the two
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 7: guaranteed side effects, by the way. Now, what they don't guarantee, Wayne,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: but they do warn people, like you just heard this gentleman, Robert, share,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: he did get the pancreatitis. You can get permanent blindness.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: You can get digestive disorders. Your stomach could be paralyzed forever.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 7: So there's a lot of other negative side effects that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: could come. But the two that are guaranteed energized health
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: could come hand in hand. If you already are on
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: the Ozempic and you're in your one-year term of it, guys,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: give yourself a safety net to gain your healthy hydration,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: gain your muscle, and possibly offset your pancreatitis.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: You saw a client just now.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: He reversed his pancreatitis that Ozempic gave him. He reversed
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: his digestive issues that he had to have the anti
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: acids all the time. So at least give yourself a
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: safety net. If you're one of those people who have chosen,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 7: I'm going to take the Ozempic. I'm going to take, listen,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: we have grace for you guys. And, and obviously that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: guy joined energized health on Ozempic. He was already on
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: it when he joined. But somebody must have told him,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: even if you're on Ozempic, these guys can help you better.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: And Wayne, we could share the other part of the testimony.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: Maybe next time we're on. He lost about 40 pounds
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: of fat on energized health, not on Ozempic. 13 years,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: he couldn't lose it. But then he lost 40 pounds
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: of fat and gained his muscle on energized health. But
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 7: he did it while on Ozempic, guys, and then got
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: off of it.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I've always thought, John, that people that do
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: too much aerobic exercise, like marathon runners, just look too skinny.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: It's not attractive for a man, as an example, to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: be super skinny. You have to do a little weightlifting, too.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Muscle is just as important as aerobic. And a matter
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: of fact, I've seen study after study that shows that
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: weightlifting actually helps you lose weight even more than aerobic activity.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: In some cases.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: So I can't imagine what a person's life is like
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: who has lost a large portion of their muscle density.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: They must look horrible with no clothes on. Maybe they
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: look skinny with clothes compared to the way they used
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: to be obese. But when you take the clothes off,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: they must look and feel awful. And it can't be
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: good for you in life to be losing muscle.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: What does that do to you?
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: Well, Wayne, again, I can't even make this stuff up,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 7: but look, we have the internet. You guys could go
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: look these up on Instagram or Facebook. Two phrases, Ozempic
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: face and Ozempic butt. And again, remember, I want to
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: quickly say, I am sharing with you, I'm holding out
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: my hand of saying, hey, join us like Robert did.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: If you're on Ozempic or you're thinking of going on it,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: come and join us. We will love to help you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: to not have the negative side effect. including Ozempic face,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 7: which is where your face ends up looking basically like
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: a Halloween skull or Ozempic, but where it looks just like,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: you know, eight sagging, you know, Eight sagging, saggy butt
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: things hanging there.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: You can see these pictures on the internet, Wayne.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 7: They're horrifying and mortifying to think that people look good
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: in their clothes, but like you said, they take their
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 7: clothes off and now they're just like this saggy sack
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: of skin.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: They're just a saggy sack. Yeah, there you go. They
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: look like skeletons. Scary.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I got to tell you guys, I'm
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: not bragging because it's not me.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: I don't take the credit. It's John.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: I got on the Energize Health program and I look
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: as good now as I look since I'm in my 40s.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: I look much better than.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: When I was 50 years old, which was one year
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: before I was 49. And I look much better. And
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: when I take my clothes off, I look like a
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: football player. And that's from energized health. I gained muscle
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: and I lost fat. I look great. These people look
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: like skeletons. So I would say don't go on the Zempik.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Don't go on the GLP-1s. But if you are on
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: the GLP-1s, how does.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Your Energize Health program help people who are on the GLP-1s,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: on these Epics, the Mangeros. What does it do to
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: you while you're on those things that are killing your muscle?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: Well, Wade, again, this client that you guys just saw,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: you heard him say it. 13 years he's on Ozempic.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: And again, we'll share it for you to hear. And
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: in fact, if you just call, if you guys call in,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 7: just ask for his video. It's about a six or
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: seven minute video. We'll send you the whole thing. And
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: you can hear it out of his mouth. But while
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 7: on Ozempic, he gained fat. But on Energized Health, he
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: lost almost 40 pounds of fat and gained about 15
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 7: pounds of healthy, lean muscle.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: And hydration while he was on Ozempic.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: So if you're on Ozempic, if you're thinking of going
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: on it, listen, you can have what he had because
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 7: we're transforming that body at the cellular level. And again, Wayne,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: I have nothing better to say to somebody than, look,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 7: here's a guy that was on it for 13 years,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 7: and he's still got the positive effect of an energized
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 7: health protocol to gain his hydration, to gain his muscle.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: And I have to quickly say, Wayne, you are 100% right.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: One inch of muscle will eat more fat. One inch
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: of lean muscle that you gain... will eat more fat
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 7: in one year than running guys for five miles a day.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: That's the power of one inch of lean muscle. I'm
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: the living proof.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: I'm Exhibit A for Energized Health. Changed my life, extended
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: my career, and made me a lot of money by
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: getting me a lot of new TV shows and podcasts
• 1:11:45
