- 0:10Speaker 1: Warning! The Root! The Root!
- 0:12Speaker 2: The Root's on fire! You're about to experience the most high-octane,
- 0:16Speaker 2: pedal-to-the-metal controversial show of your life. Please buckle up and
- 0:20Speaker 2: hold on tightly. This station is not responsible for injuries.
- 0:24Speaker 2: This is Wayne Allen Root, direct from the entertainment capital
- 0:27Speaker 2: of the world, Las Vegas. What time is it?
- 0:31Speaker 1: It's time for War! War!
- 0:34Speaker 2: Here's your host, 100% raw truth, 100% American made, the warrior,
- 0:41Speaker 2: Wayne Allen Root.
- 0:55Speaker 1: All right, Wayne Allyn Root, the Root, the Root, the
- 0:57Speaker 1: Root is exhausted. Welcome to the show. You know you're
- 1:01Speaker 1: in trouble when you're exhausted before you've said one word,
- 1:05Speaker 1: before the show even begins, but it has been a
- 1:08Speaker 1: really busy day, an eventful day. You have no idea
- 1:12Speaker 1: the work I do behind the scenes before a show
- 1:15Speaker 1: even begins. By the time it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Vegas time, 5 o'clock, excuse me, 6 o'clock East Coast time,
- 1:21Speaker 1: I am in a state of exhaustion, and today's one
- 1:23Speaker 1: of those days. And when the show is over, the
- 1:26Speaker 1: second it's over, I'm rushing to a gala ball at
- 1:29Speaker 1: the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas for the Vegas Symphony.
- 1:33Speaker 1: So my day is just beginning. Just beginning. So if
- 1:38Speaker 1: you tuned in yesterday and you heard my commentary, I
- 1:41Speaker 1: said that Trump is not only not unpopular, he is popular.
- 1:45Speaker 1: He's at 50% approval in all the polls that matter.
- 1:49Speaker 1: And 50% is enough to win any presidential election. And
- 1:54Speaker 1: sure enough, sure enough, guess what happens? One of 2024's
- 1:59Speaker 1: most accurate pollsters. today puts Trump at 50% approval, the
- 2:03Speaker 1: same number that won him the presidential election. He won
- 2:06Speaker 1: it basically 50 to 48, and that's exactly where he
- 2:09Speaker 1: is right now. Insider Advantage, one of 2024's most accurate pollsters,
- 2:14Speaker 1: puts Trump's current approval rating at 50%, a national survey
- 2:19Speaker 1: of 800 likely voters. Again, I don't trust any poll
- 2:23Speaker 1: that doesn't poll likely voters, and these guys are accurate
- 2:27Speaker 1: because they poll likely voters. If you don't say you're
- 2:31Speaker 1: a likely voter, that means the odds are you're probably
- 2:34Speaker 1: not going to show up and vote. So this was
- 2:38Speaker 1: conducted February 17th to 18th and shows Donald Trump's. Approval
- 2:44Speaker 1: rating basically mirroring or slightly above the national popular vote
- 2:48Speaker 1: result in the election of 2024. Right? His disapproval is 46.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I said 50 to 48 was the basic final score
- 2:55Speaker 1: of the presidential election of 2024. He's actually at 50-46. Better.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Two points better. He won the election by two points popular.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Now he's ahead by four points popular. So... Insider Advantage
- 3:08Speaker 1: pollster Matt Towery explains the discrepancy between his polls and
- 3:12Speaker 1: polls showing Trump's approval at like 40%. He says there
- 3:16Speaker 1: are clearly two camps of pollsters. Yeah, right. One camp
- 3:19Speaker 1: is honest and one camp is a bunch of freaking
- 3:22Speaker 1: liars who oversample Democrats and don't sample likely voters. They
- 3:29Speaker 1: sample anyone who's walking in the street with a pulse.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So there are two camps of pollsters, he says, utilize
- 3:34Speaker 1: different methods of data collection and weighing in their approval ratings.
- 3:39Speaker 1: But I would note that the firms that most accurately
- 3:42Speaker 1: poll Trump's three elections use similar methodologies. This includes Rasmussen,
- 3:48Speaker 1: which currently has Trump at 48% approval. As far as
- 3:54Speaker 1: insider vantage goes, Will the pollster not conduct any national
- 3:58Speaker 1: polls during the 2024 presidential election? The firm was dead
- 4:03Speaker 1: on in the five most hotly contested swing states. That's
- 4:07Speaker 1: where I know them. That's where I know them from.
- 4:10Speaker 1: They don't do national polling. They do swing state polling. Right.
- 4:14Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, Insider Advantage said Trump would win by one point.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He won by one point. In Pennsylvania, they said he
- 4:20Speaker 1: would win by one point. He won by 1.7 points.
- 4:23Speaker 1: In Michigan, they predicted a tie. He won by one point.
- 4:26Speaker 1: In North Carolina, they predicted a two-point victory. He won
- 4:28Speaker 1: by three. Insider Advantage predicted a three-point Arizona victory for Trump.
- 4:33Speaker 1: He won by 5.5. So you can see, if anything,
- 4:36Speaker 1: Insider Advantage methodology is a bit short. Right? The Postal
- 4:42Speaker 1: predicted a tie in Nevada. Trump won by three in Nevada.
- 4:45Speaker 1: So if they're saying he's 50-46 approval, he's actually probably
- 4:50Speaker 1: three points higher. So he's probably 52 or 53 and
- 4:54Speaker 1: only like 42 or 43. He's got a big lead.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And the reason why is because the economy is doing
- 5:02Speaker 1: much better. All these people complain about inflation. You're not wrong.
- 5:07Speaker 1: But that's not Trump's fault. It's got nothing to do
- 5:09Speaker 1: with Trump. That's Biden inflation. And Trump's job was to
- 5:13Speaker 1: stop the rate of increase, which he has done miraculously
- 5:18Speaker 1: while imposing massive tariffs. It's an impossible magic act. He
- 5:23Speaker 1: pulled a rabbit out of a hat and he did it.
- 5:25Speaker 1: But he can't make the prices go in reverse. OK,
- 5:28Speaker 1: that would be called deflation. You could only get that
- 5:31Speaker 1: if we're in a Great Depression. You could only achieve
- 5:34Speaker 1: that if the president was a Biden or Kamala. A
- 5:38Speaker 1: Great Depression. Does anybody want a Great Depression? So your
- 5:41Speaker 1: prices will go down, but you don't have a job.
- 5:44Speaker 1: You're homeless, but a bottle of milk costs $ 3 less. Okay,
- 5:48Speaker 1: but your income is zero. Trump's war room assesses the midterms.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's the economy, stupid. If Republicans lose the House or Senate,
- 5:57Speaker 1: Trump's second term agenda will be stopped. Dead in its tracks,
- 6:00Speaker 1: that reality brought Trump down. Administration officials, pollsters, and House
- 6:04Speaker 1: Republicans together Tuesday night on Capitol Hill for a closed-door
- 6:08Speaker 1: strategy session with one goal, don't blow it. Journalist Mark
- 6:12Speaker 1: Halperin posted the details on X. And what emerged was
- 6:16Speaker 1: a picture of a party that knows exactly what's at stake.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Whether they understand how to win, that's another story. But
- 6:22Speaker 1: political czar James Blair opened with historical data. Making the
- 6:26Speaker 1: case that midterm losses for the president's party aren't just common,
- 6:29Speaker 1: they're nearly inevitable. Decades of precedent suggest the party in
- 6:33Speaker 1: power will lose seats. The lone exception of the past
- 6:36Speaker 1: 25 years was the 2002 midterms when Republicans gained seats
- 6:40Speaker 1: in the House and Senate while Bush was still president.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But that was no ordinary election. It was the first
- 6:45Speaker 1: midterm after the 9-11 terror attacks. Blair walked through the
- 6:49Speaker 1: numbers and how rare it is for a sitting president's
- 6:51Speaker 1: party to avoid significant seat losses, framing the whole operation
- 6:56Speaker 1: as a race against historical precedent. Pollster strategist Tony Fabrizio
- 7:02Speaker 1: followed with roughly 25 slides of voter data, including demographics,
- 7:06Speaker 1: issue rankings and which messages cut through the noise. His
- 7:09Speaker 1: bottom line was blunt. The economy will be the issue
- 7:13Speaker 1: in the election. It's all that matters. Trying to argue
- 7:16Speaker 1: about wages being up will not help. Voters have to
- 7:18Speaker 1: feel it. He found that the messages that actually resonate
- 7:23Speaker 1: with persuadable voters include banning stock trading for members of Congress,
- 7:28Speaker 1: transparency on health insurance pricing and claims reimbursement, lowering prescription
- 7:32Speaker 1: drug costs, and Trump's tax cuts. Housing affordability also a
- 7:37Speaker 1: huge issue. Meanwhile, taking credit for closing the border, one
- 7:41Speaker 1: of Trump's strongest issues, does not resonate much. I find
- 7:44Speaker 1: that interesting. Fabrizio told the audience the biggest takeaway is
- 7:49Speaker 1: to focus on Trump's efforts to lower prescription drug pricing.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Democrats are running on the we hate Trump argument and
- 7:57Speaker 1: virtually nothing else. They have no ideas, nothing, not a
- 8:00Speaker 1: single idea that would ever help America. So the most
- 8:05Speaker 1: persuadable voters are men, moderates, true independents and Hispanic voters.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And then came the most candid moment of the briefing.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Blair acknowledged outright, regardless of what came out of the meeting,
- 8:17Speaker 1: Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump wants to do,
- 8:19Speaker 1: say what Donald Trump wants to say, and not be data-driven.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Everyone else has to stay on message and be driven
- 8:25Speaker 1: by the data. In effect, two separate but related campaigns.
- 8:31Speaker 1: But the good news is that voters don't pay attention
- 8:33Speaker 1: to Labor Day anymore. And you know what my belief is?
- 8:36Speaker 1: By Labor Day, you're going to have a roaring, roaring
- 8:38Speaker 1: economy thanks to President Trump. A couple of sports stories
- 8:43Speaker 1: I want to get into in this first segment real quick.
- 8:46Speaker 1: The United States hockey team won today. NHL star Quinn
- 8:51Speaker 1: Hughes scored a goal in overtime against Sweden, securing 2-1
- 8:56Speaker 1: victory for the U.S. to keep us in the running
- 8:59Speaker 1: for a possible gold medal. And following the heroic moment,
- 9:03Speaker 1: Hughes expressed national pride upon hearing chants of USA, USA,
- 9:07Speaker 1: and people waving American flags. He said, it's special. I
- 9:10Speaker 1: love the US. It's the greatest country in the world.
- 9:13Speaker 1: So I'm happy to represent here with these guys. It
- 9:15Speaker 1: was very special. So very cool. The hockey players are
- 9:19Speaker 1: always conservative.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Why?
- 9:21Speaker 1: They're white. There's nothing racist to admit. White people lean
- 9:26Speaker 1: towards white. not even lead, overwhelmingly are conservative and Republican
- 9:31Speaker 1: and MAGA patriots. And everybody else is the problem. We
- 9:36Speaker 1: gotta convince them to come over to our side. That's
- 9:38Speaker 1: not racism, that's fact. White males are overwhelmingly Trump MAGA
- 9:43Speaker 1: conservatives And that's why football is overwhelmingly liberal, basketball liberal,
- 9:48Speaker 1: baseball liberal, a lot of Hispanic and black liberal, and
- 9:52Speaker 1: hockey overwhelmingly patriotic, MAGA, conservative Trumpers. Chicago Bears committed to
- 9:59Speaker 1: Indiana movies. How about that one? So good old Governor
- 10:02Speaker 1: Pritzker of Michigan, excuse me, of Illinois, is a fat pig,
- 10:09Speaker 1: and he's so busy eating all day, he doesn't really
- 10:12Speaker 1: focus on anything else except saving illegal aliens. Food and
- 10:16Speaker 1: saving illegal aliens. Stuffing his mouth And saving and protecting
- 10:20Speaker 1: and defending illegal aliens. And not giving a damn about
- 10:22Speaker 1: the average citizen. And he's not watching. And Chicago Bears
- 10:26Speaker 1: are committed to moving to Indiana. Moving the team from
- 10:30Speaker 1: downtown Chicago to a spot in northwest Indiana an hour
- 10:34Speaker 1: from Chicago. And it's moving in a serious direction. So
- 10:38Speaker 1: that's what happens when you F around and you find out, right?
- 10:42Speaker 1: That's Trump's favorite saying. The biggest news story today was certainly... Andrew,
- 10:48Speaker 1: you know, the former Prince Andrew, the younger brother of
- 10:50Speaker 1: King Charles of England, was arrested today, all involving the
- 10:54Speaker 1: Epstein charges and, you know, child sex and pedophilia. And
- 11:00Speaker 1: who did he have sex with and what did he do?
- 11:03Speaker 1: How did he misrepresent England while representing the country? Never
- 11:06Speaker 1: did you think you'd see Prince Andrew again. being arrested, right,
- 11:10Speaker 1: in handcuffs and being taken to the police station. And
- 11:13Speaker 1: British King Charles reacts to the arrest of his younger
- 11:16Speaker 1: brother for suspicion of misconduct in public office because his
- 11:20Speaker 1: Epstein ties and he says the law must take its course.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Is that really what's happening? Is he not going to
- 11:26Speaker 1: put his finger on the scale and try and save
- 11:28Speaker 1: his brother? I don't know. It sounds like he's pulling
- 11:32Speaker 1: away from his brother and he wants nothing to do
- 11:33Speaker 1: with him because your brother can cheat and steal and
- 11:37Speaker 1: rip off the public like every other politician does. The
- 11:40Speaker 1: one thing you can't get away with is having sex
- 11:42Speaker 1: with underage girls. So I think King Charles had enough
- 11:45Speaker 1: of Andrew. Andrew's going bye-bye. Prison. All right, it's Wade
- 11:54Speaker 1: Allyn Root. I'm joined now by Kip Herridge, an economic expert,
- 11:57Speaker 1: my personal financial advisor for the last 22 years, CEO
- 12:02Speaker 1: of Vertical Research Advisory, his website, vrainsider.com. Kip, the VRA
- 12:08Speaker 1: ended 2025 with gains of 35% and has now beaten
- 12:12Speaker 1: the market 19 of the last 22 years. That means
- 12:16Speaker 1: you're beating the market almost 90% of the time. It's amazing.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Tell my fans, how do you do it?
- 12:23Speaker 3: Anyway, great to be back on. You know, my story,
- 12:26Speaker 3: as you know, is Wall Street, 15 years, took seven
- 12:29Speaker 3: companies public, raised several hundred million dollars. And I retired
- 12:32Speaker 3: at the age of 38, came back to Texas where
- 12:35Speaker 3: I live with my family.
- 12:36Speaker 1: We're a family business.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I started the VRA in 2003. My wife, both our
- 12:40Speaker 3: sons work here. And instead of taking your money and
- 12:43Speaker 3: investing it for you, we're not a brokerage firm. We're
- 12:45Speaker 3: an investment newsletter. We tell you what we're doing with
- 12:47Speaker 3: our money so you can do what you want to
- 12:49Speaker 3: with yours. And again, we've beaten the market 19, 22 years.
- 12:52Speaker 1: We're very proud of that.
- 12:54Speaker 3: And we're looking for a very, very big year this
- 12:56Speaker 3: year in 2026.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Why do you believe this structural bull market that we're
- 13:00Speaker 1: in is just getting started?
- 13:03Speaker 3: You've got to understand, a structural bull market is the
- 13:06Speaker 3: strongest bull market you can possibly have. It's being driven
- 13:08Speaker 3: by fundamentals, and that's what we have here. We also
- 13:11Speaker 3: have the combination of what we call our big three,
- 13:15Speaker 3: the Trump economic miracle, Trump's tax cuts, deregulation, and tariffs,
- 13:19Speaker 3: combined with the innovation revolution, which is just getting started.
- 13:23Speaker 1: It's much, much more than just AI.
- 13:24Speaker 3: This is innovation like we've not seen in the last
- 13:26Speaker 3: 100 years combined. And it's going to change everyone's lives
- 13:30Speaker 3: dramatically for the better, we believe. And it can create
- 13:32Speaker 3: millions of more jobs than most people believe. And third,
- 13:35Speaker 3: it's this absolute ocean of liquidity that exists out there.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Very few people talking about this. $ 22 trillion in the
- 13:43Speaker 3: M2 money supply, $ 7 trillion sitting in cash and money markets,
- 13:46Speaker 3: $ 40 trillion sitting in home equity. We just need lower
- 13:50Speaker 3: rates to loosen that up. We think Trump's going to
- 13:52Speaker 3: bring all that home to us this year. And it's
- 13:54Speaker 3: going to have the market soaring for a number of years.
- 13:57Speaker 1: You have made me a fortune. You're brilliant. You're a genius.
- 14:00Speaker 1: What makes you so different?
- 14:02Speaker 3: In our second letter in 2003, I recommended gold at $ 3. 50,
- 14:06Speaker 3: silver at $ 5 an ounce. We're now up over 1,200 percent,
- 14:10Speaker 3: actually 1,800 percent in silver in the recommendation. What makes
- 14:13Speaker 3: you unique there is the reason people should save in gold.
- 14:17Speaker 1: And we tell you to get.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Your money out of fiat currencies, get your money out
- 14:19Speaker 3: of bank accounts. It's being printed into a Bolivian, saving gold.
- 14:23Speaker 3: If you've done that since we recommended 2003, your $ 100, 000
- 14:26Speaker 3: investor will be worth $ 1. 6 million versus the less than $ 100, 000.
- 14:31Speaker 1: You'd have in bank accounts.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Gold and silver, the miners especially, and the future, of course,
- 14:36Speaker 3: of Bitcoin, that's a powerful combination, we believe, for the
- 14:39Speaker 3: next four or five years.
- 14:40Speaker 1: VRAinsider.com. Go there now. Kip Herridge, thank you for all
- 14:45Speaker 1: you've done. All right, Wayne Allyn Root, let me mention
- 15:14Speaker 1: the Clark County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner. That's coming
- 15:19Speaker 1: up a week from tomorrow. Wow. When they asked me
- 15:22Speaker 1: to be the emcee of the entire event, that was
- 15:24Speaker 1: like two months ago. It is going, time is just
- 15:27Speaker 1: moving so fast. It's amazing. I can't believe it's almost March.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It's almost spring. And then it's going to be summer.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I've got to start planning my summer vacations now. If
- 15:35Speaker 1: you don't book, there's not going to be anything available
- 15:37Speaker 1: in July. I've got to start doing that. Wow. Every
- 15:39Speaker 1: year I promise myself I'll do that in January. And
- 15:42Speaker 1: my worst case is February. And then I never book
- 15:44Speaker 1: until March or April. There's nothing left. But it's just
- 15:48Speaker 1: too much to do in a day. Lincoln Day Dinner,
- 15:50Speaker 1: Republican Party, Clark County Republican Party. Lincoln Day Dinner only
- 15:54Speaker 1: happens once a year. It is rooted in Lincoln's legacy,
- 15:58Speaker 1: united for the battle ahead. This is the big one
- 16:01Speaker 1: before the midterms, and it'll be the last one before
- 16:04Speaker 1: the midterms, the biggest dinner of the year for Republicans.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And Wayne Allyn Root is your emcee of the evening.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I got my friend Kevin Sorbo to be the keynote speaker,
- 16:12Speaker 1: former star of Hercules, the biggest syndicated series in the
- 16:16Speaker 1: history of America, I think in the history of the world. Also,
- 16:19Speaker 1: Joe Lombardo, the governor, Anthony Stavros, the lieutenant governor. And
- 16:23Speaker 1: some mystery guest of the White House. They're arranging someone
- 16:26Speaker 1: big from the White House to be there as well.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Can't wait to introduce all these greats from the Nevada
- 16:32Speaker 1: Republican Party and all of you. So make sure you
- 16:34Speaker 1: go there. How do you buy a ticket? Go to ClarkCountyRepublicanParty.com. ClarkCountyRepublicanParty.com
- 16:43Speaker 1: and get a ticket to the Lincoln Day Gala. All right,
- 16:47Speaker 1: and the next day, by the way, is the Nye
- 16:49Speaker 1: County Lincoln Day Dinner. I'm the keynote speaker. Nye County
- 16:52Speaker 1: is Pahrump, Nevada, about an hour outside of Las Vegas,
- 16:55Speaker 1: a county filled with great Republicans, very Republican county, and
- 17:01Speaker 1: very proud to be the emcee of that one. I'm
- 17:02Speaker 1: sure you can go to Nye County Republican Party and
- 17:05Speaker 1: get your Lincoln Day Dinner ticket there as well. You know,
- 17:10Speaker 1: Trump is delivering. I wish I could, I gotta find
- 17:13Speaker 1: the article. Trump is delivering because it was great tariff
- 17:17Speaker 1: news today, but I did not put my articles in
- 17:20Speaker 1: order because I was in such a rush before the show.
- 17:24Speaker 1: I never had a chance, but just take it from me.
- 17:27Speaker 1: The tariff numbers were really, really, here it is, really good.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Trump effect, trade deficit, excuse me, the tariff numbers, the
- 17:35Speaker 1: trade deficit numbers I meant to say. The trade deficit
- 17:37Speaker 1: narrows as the Trump tariffs reshape global commerce, U.S. trade
- 17:42Speaker 1: deficit narrows. narrowed sharply in the fourth quarter, suggesting that
- 17:45Speaker 1: President Trump's tariffs may be rebalancing trade all over the
- 17:50Speaker 1: world by opening foreign markets to U.S. exports and reducing
- 17:55Speaker 1: dependence on imports. Who doesn't want that? Only if you're
- 17:59Speaker 1: a globalist loser who hates America would you not want that.
- 18:05Speaker 1: The three-month average goods deficit fell to $ 80. 5 billion in
- 18:08Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, down 27% from $ 109 billion in the
- 18:12Speaker 1: same period. A year older, the combined goods and services
- 18:16Speaker 1: deficit dropped even more sharply, falling about 40% to $ 50
- 18:21Speaker 1: billion from $ 83 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024,
- 18:26Speaker 1: which was Biden's fourth quarter. Average exports climbed $ 22 billion,
- 18:32Speaker 1: so we're selling stuff all over the world. At a
- 18:34Speaker 1: much higher pace. Average imports declined 10 billion. Compared to
- 18:38Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of 2024. Everything is good. All the
- 18:42Speaker 1: numbers are good. We're selling more to the world. And
- 18:46Speaker 1: we're buying less from China. And the trade deficit is
- 18:51Speaker 1: down sharply. My gosh. How could anyone think that's bad news?
- 18:56Speaker 1: And just as that's happening. Trump is about to give,
- 19:00Speaker 1: it's the worst known secret, worst kept secret in America today.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Trump is going to give a speech and they say
- 19:06Speaker 1: it's in July. Why he's waiting until July, I don't know.
- 19:10Speaker 1: But he's going to give a speech letting us know
- 19:12Speaker 1: that there are UFOs in the world and that we've
- 19:15Speaker 1: captured them and we have them in certain bases. that
- 19:18Speaker 1: there really are unidentified flying objects. There really are, I guess,
- 19:22Speaker 1: Martians out there, Venusians out there, whatever the heck it is.
- 19:27Speaker 1: There are foreign beings out there, and Trump is going
- 19:30Speaker 1: to spill the beans and let us know. No other president. Again,
- 19:34Speaker 1: it's like the Epstein file, right? Epstein file and Martians.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Nobody else ever did it. It's no big deal. Why
- 19:42Speaker 1: didn't Obama do it? Why didn't Biden do it? Only
- 19:45Speaker 1: Trump does things like this, yet you criticize him all day.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Give me a break. All right, guns, guns, guns. Look
- 19:53Speaker 1: at this, baby. Is this beautiful or what? Is this
- 19:55Speaker 1: a beautiful gun? That's the black version. Here's the silver version,

- 22:05Speaker 1: Guest segment, got a great guest. And we're going to
- 22:08Speaker 1: talk about China's organ harvesting industry. I can't wait to
- 22:13Speaker 1: hear about that one. But before we get to it,
- 22:16Speaker 1: I want to mention the sponsor of this segment of
- 22:18Speaker 1: the show, because let's hope you never need an organ.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Let's hope there are no organ transplants in your life.
- 22:23Speaker 1: And the key to that is energized health, right? If
- 22:26Speaker 1: you want to stay healthy, it's a great program. I
- 22:28Speaker 1: got on it. In November of 2020, that was over
- 22:31Speaker 1: five years ago. Now we're headed for five and a
- 22:33Speaker 1: half years I've been on it. I can't believe five
- 22:35Speaker 1: and a half years have gone by. That is amazing.
- 22:38Speaker 1: In the first 88 days on the program, which is
- 22:39Speaker 1: the key, I lost 25 pounds of fat, gained 10
- 22:42Speaker 1: pounds of muscle, got hydrated like I've never been hydrated
- 22:46Speaker 1: in my life. In 88 days that happened, 25 pounds
- 22:49Speaker 1: gone of fat, 10 pounds of muscle in. I became
- 22:53Speaker 1: the Popeye the Sailor Man of conservative talk. Great job,
- 22:56Speaker 1: Energize Health. They extended my career. They lengthened my career.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Everybody's career is over their 50s, 60s. Nobody makes it
- 23:03Speaker 1: past 60. I've now gotten four new TV shows and
- 23:06Speaker 1: podcasts past the age of 61. And this July, I
- 23:09Speaker 1: will be 65 years old and going on Medicare. July 1st,
- 23:12Speaker 1: I start Medicare. Can you believe that? I already have
- 23:15Speaker 1: my appointment with the guy who put me on Medicare.
- 23:18Speaker 1: So the fat melted off my face. It was my, literally,
- 23:21Speaker 1: it was my fountain of youth. It reversed aged me.
- 23:23Speaker 1: There's me 15 years ago at the age of 50.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And here's me today, 65 years old, about to be
- 23:29Speaker 1: in the gym. It reversed age me. I look like
- 23:32Speaker 1: a different person. And that happens to people the other
- 23:35Speaker 1: way around. You look different at 65 than you did
- 23:37Speaker 1: at 50. Not in a good way. Nobody ever looks
- 23:40Speaker 1: better at 50, excuse me, 65 than 50. With Energized Health,
- 23:44Speaker 1: it happened. So hopefully it can happen for you too.

- 24:18Speaker 2: All right.
- 24:19Speaker 1: My guest is here. I hope I'm pronouncing this right.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Jan Jokolek, I believe is how you pronounce it. He's
- 24:26Speaker 1: a senior editor at Epoch Times, author of Killed to Order.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That's his new book, Killed to Order, China's Organ Harvesting
- 24:34Speaker 1: Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary. Jan,
- 24:39Speaker 1: welcome to the show. How are you?
- 24:42Speaker 4: I'm fantastic, and I don't know if I should say Wayne,
- 24:44Speaker 4: Wayne Allen, or Roar.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Oh, just Wayne, just Wayne. No, Wayne's good. I only
- 24:49Speaker 1: say Wayne. I use Allen just because it spells out
- 24:51Speaker 1: my initials, Roar. But I'm just Wayne, and am I
- 24:54Speaker 1: pronouncing your last name right? Is it Yuckalack? Yuckalack?
- 24:58Speaker 4: I'd say you're top five percentile there on that one.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Close enough, close enough. All right, and it's Yan, right, Yan? Correct. Okay, good.
- 25:04Speaker 1: All right, so your book is called Kill to Order,
- 25:07Speaker 1: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's
- 25:10Speaker 1: Biggest Adversary. I had a great guest on yesterday, Casey Fleming,
- 25:13Speaker 1: who's got a new book out talking about how vicious
- 25:16Speaker 1: and horrible China is and how they want to kill
- 25:18Speaker 1: us all. And I assume you're an expert who studied
- 25:21Speaker 1: them and you feel the same way. This is a vicious, cunning, violent,
- 25:26Speaker 1: vile adversary that will do anything, including kill us all
- 25:30Speaker 1: in a pandemic or kill us all with a nuclear bomb.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I think, you tell me.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Well, here's the deal, right? We're looking at a regime
- 25:38Speaker 4: that is probably the most vicious in the history of
- 25:42Speaker 4: the world, quite possibly. OK, but we're also looking at
- 25:45Speaker 4: a people who are themselves the subjects of being exploited
- 25:50Speaker 4: by that regime. So when we're talking about forced organ harvesting,
- 25:54Speaker 4: this is kind of not your garden variety organ trafficking
- 25:59Speaker 4: situation that you might have heard in urban legends. This
- 26:02Speaker 4: is the sort of thing where you have a state
- 26:04Speaker 4: power that can push mass propaganda through a system, right?
- 26:08Speaker 4: It can incarcerate huge amounts of people. This is, in fact,
- 26:12Speaker 4: what they did with Falun Gong practitioners back in 1999.
- 26:16Speaker 4: There were 70 to 100 million people doing this grassroots,
- 26:20Speaker 4: bottom-up health and spiritual discipline, truthfulness, compassion, tolerance. They were
- 26:25Speaker 4: practicing that. And they found 70 to 100 million, by
- 26:29Speaker 4: government estimate, people were doing it by the end of
- 26:32Speaker 4: the 90s, bigger than the Communist Party. And communists don't
- 26:35Speaker 4: like things that are bigger than the Communist Party. So
- 26:38Speaker 4: they decided to crush it, to eradicate it, to use
- 26:41Speaker 4: the words of the dictator. They demonized, dehumanized these people
- 26:44Speaker 4: through propaganda not that different from Germany in the 1930s,
- 26:49Speaker 4: for example, against the Jews. And then they incarcerated, say,
- 26:52Speaker 4: a million, maybe more. We don't know the exact numbers,
- 26:55Speaker 4: but a huge amount of people. And that's when ads
- 26:58Speaker 4: started appearing on the Chinese Internet. And we still have
- 27:02Speaker 4: some of these archived that would say, you can get
- 27:05Speaker 4: a new heart if you have the right amount of cash, say, $ 150, 000
- 27:08Speaker 4: or something like this. In two weeks. And the reason
- 27:14Speaker 4: that you could do that is because these people who
- 27:16Speaker 4: had been incarcerated had been blood typed, tissue typed, organs
- 27:20Speaker 4: scanned in many cases. Those information were put into a database,
- 27:25Speaker 4: and these people were basically ready to be killed to
- 27:28Speaker 4: order once someone paid that money because they were already
- 27:31Speaker 4: pre-matched and incarcerated and then killed on demand. This is
- 27:36Speaker 4: a whole different level.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Yeah, we have bad things happening in the United States,
- 27:39Speaker 1: and there are some bad people in government. And certainly
- 27:42Speaker 1: under Biden and Obama, there were some really bad people.
- 27:44Speaker 1: They used the IRS to try and destroy my life.
- 27:47Speaker 1: But but in the end, nobody is like knocking on
- 27:49Speaker 1: your door in the middle of the night, thank God,
- 27:52Speaker 1: and take you away never to return and then harvesting
- 27:54Speaker 1: your organs. So it's still not Cuba. It's still not China.
- 27:58Speaker 1: It's still not East Germany. America has a ways to go,
- 28:01Speaker 1: although I have no doubt that the left. kind of
- 28:03Speaker 1: mirrors these people and will someday try and be that bad.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Maybe some version of that, but that's pretty darn bad.
- 28:10Speaker 1: That's about as bad as you get. They took daddy
- 28:13Speaker 1: away and then they took his heart and his liver
- 28:15Speaker 1: and gave it to somebody else and buried daddy. We
- 28:17Speaker 1: never saw him again. I'm sure in between they torture
- 28:20Speaker 1: these people too, right? I got to assume while they're,
- 28:22Speaker 1: before you take their heart, they're getting tortured.
- 28:26Speaker 4: Well, so what's really interesting, there's a man— one of the heroes, actually,
- 28:30Speaker 4: of doing the research on this whole thing is a
- 28:32Speaker 4: man named Matthew Robertson. He just recently published a Ph.D.
- 28:36Speaker 4: thesis where he coins this term extractive repression, OK? And
- 28:41Speaker 4: what we're talking about, there's just kind of multiple purposes
- 28:44Speaker 4: going on here. On the one hand, there's this industry,
- 28:47Speaker 4: industrial scale. I mean, we're talking about 60,000 to 90,000
- 28:51Speaker 4: transplants from prisoners of conscience annually. So it's huge, huge scale.
- 28:57Speaker 4: And of course, we estimate that's about a $ 9 billion
- 29:00Speaker 4: a year industry. So that's one part. But the other
- 29:03Speaker 4: part was the powers that be were very committed to
- 29:07Speaker 4: trying to destroy Falun Gong. That didn't necessarily mean at
- 29:10Speaker 4: the beginning to kill everybody or something like that. It
- 29:12Speaker 4: meant They have to break them. They have to, you know,
- 29:15Speaker 4: force them to renounce their faith. But because this was
- 29:18Speaker 4: such a bottom-up grassroots movement, if you will, a lot of,
- 29:23Speaker 4: let's say, internal agency for everyone that was actually practicing it,
- 29:26Speaker 4: it turned out these people are very, very difficult to reeducate,
- 29:30Speaker 4: very difficult to get them to renounce their beliefs. And
- 29:33Speaker 4: that's when this unwritten rule came into the system that
- 29:36Speaker 4: all Falun Gong deaths will be considered suicides, right? So basically,
- 29:42Speaker 4: we can work on these people in whatever way. And
- 29:45Speaker 4: this is what was weird. A number of the people
- 29:47Speaker 4: who actually survived these camps that we interviewed would say
- 29:50Speaker 4: things like, on the one hand, we're being tortured. On
- 29:54Speaker 4: the other hand, they're giving us and they didn't fully
- 29:55Speaker 4: understand what was really going on, but they're giving us
- 29:58Speaker 4: a lot of medical tests. You know, the people that
- 30:02Speaker 4: were actually kind of studying this were like, this is
- 30:04Speaker 4: these are expensive medical tests. It makes no sense. They're
- 30:07Speaker 4: clearly not to make sure that they're OK.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Because they're being tortured on one hand.
- 30:12Speaker 4: On the other hand, there's some sort of gathering of
- 30:14Speaker 4: information and testing being done that really would never be
- 30:19Speaker 4: done to someone who just happens to be in a
- 30:21Speaker 4: prison incarcerated.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Yes, because we want your heart. I mean, I hate
- 30:25Speaker 1: to laugh, but sometimes you just have to laugh to
- 30:27Speaker 1: keep from crying. It's such horrible stuff.
- 30:30Speaker 4: You know, 100%, you're exactly right. It's very hard to
- 30:33Speaker 4: deal with emotionally because this is next level, right?
- 30:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrible. By the way, the thing that gets
- 30:39Speaker 1: me the worst, not to do with China, but I'm
- 30:41Speaker 1: an animal lover, right? I just love dogs so much.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I love my dog. And I have a golden doodle, right?
- 30:47Speaker 1: And somebody left a golden doodle at the Vegas airport.
- 30:49Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that, Jan. It's become
- 30:51Speaker 1: the biggest national story. They were getting on an airplane
- 30:54Speaker 1: and they just tied their dog to the luggage rack
- 30:56Speaker 1: and tried to get on the plane and abandoned their dog.
- 30:59Speaker 1: And they were arrested. Thank God the Vegas police are
- 31:01Speaker 1: very pro-dog, pro-animal. And they don't take this stuff lightly.
- 31:05Speaker 1: And they arrested this woman. And then she got violent
- 31:08Speaker 1: with them. So they arrested her for attacking a cop.
- 31:11Speaker 1: And then she just abandoned the dog because she had
- 31:14Speaker 1: 10 days to pick it up again. She never came
- 31:15Speaker 1: to get it. And now there are thousands of people
- 31:18Speaker 1: calling from all over the United States. to adopt this dog,
- 31:22Speaker 1: and only one person can get it. They've got thousands
- 31:25Speaker 1: of phone calls from every state. It's just so funny
- 31:28Speaker 1: the difference between America and China. In America, we all
- 31:31Speaker 1: cry over a dog that's been left behind. In China,
- 31:34Speaker 1: they torture people, they murder people, they harvest organs. And they,
- 31:38Speaker 1: I'm sure, kill dogs and eat them, right? In the
- 31:41Speaker 1: wet markets. So it's like this different, this dichotomy, this
- 31:45Speaker 1: different world. We are such nice people by nature that
- 31:48Speaker 1: we cry over a dog left behind and they would
- 31:51Speaker 1: eat the dog, right?
- 31:53Speaker 4: Well, it's a bit worse even, I would say. Like
- 31:56Speaker 4: there might in some cultures, for example, in Vietnam, eating
- 31:59Speaker 4: dogs is something that's, you know, just something that was
- 32:02Speaker 4: done for some time, right? But we're talking about a
- 32:05Speaker 4: level of cruelty that we're not familiar with.
- 32:08Speaker 1: And that comes from.
- 32:10Speaker 4: This very twisted approach of utilitarianism that is manifest in
- 32:15Speaker 4: every communist society that has ever existed. It's basically kind
- 32:19Speaker 4: of a replacement of God by the state. And I
- 32:22Speaker 4: actually cover this quite a bit in Killed to Order
- 32:25Speaker 4: because it's an important part of the story, right? How
- 32:28Speaker 4: is it that you get this extreme situation, a killed
- 32:31Speaker 4: to order mass scale industry? Well, you get it because
- 32:35Speaker 4: it's actually systemic. And the Communist Party takes the supreme
- 32:40Speaker 4: role and everyone is expected to be subservient to it,
- 32:43Speaker 4: replacing that sort of external judge, if you will, that
- 32:47Speaker 4: God would take the role of.
- 32:50Speaker 1: It sure does seem, you know, look, we can't prove
- 32:52Speaker 1: there's a God. People who are atheists want me to
- 32:55Speaker 1: prove it. I can't prove it. But people I know,
- 32:58Speaker 1: including me, who believe in God are just happier and nicer.
- 33:02Speaker 1: and more moral and better people. And our country that's
- 33:05Speaker 1: very Judeo-Christian is the nicest country in world history. We've
- 33:10Speaker 1: died in Iraq and Afghanistan to save them. We got
- 33:13Speaker 1: nothing out of it. We died in World War II
- 33:15Speaker 1: to save the Jews. We got nothing out of it.
- 33:18Speaker 1: We just wanted to save the Jews. We are a
- 33:20Speaker 1: good country. Hey, Jan, we'll be right back. I want
- 33:23Speaker 1: to grab you for another segment, okay? So don't go anywhere.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Heading to a break. Wayne Allyn Root, back with the
- 33:28Speaker 1: senior editor at Epoch Times. All right, I'm joined by
- 33:37Speaker 1: Steve Richards of Lost Soldier Oil & Gas. He's the
- 33:40Speaker 1: president of Lost Soldier Oil & Gas, a second-generation professional engineer.
- 33:45Speaker 1: He spent 46 years in the oil and gas industry.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Lost Soldier Oil & Gas is the company founded by
- 33:51Speaker 1: Mark Bruner. He has, with previous companies, created more than
- 33:55Speaker 1: $ 15 billion in shareholder value. Steve, update us on all
- 34:00Speaker 1: the latest developments with Lost Soldier Oil & Gas.
- 34:04Speaker 5: Mark, Wayne, thanks for having me on today. Look, we're
- 34:08Speaker 5: starting to lay our pipeline so that we can sell
- 34:11Speaker 5: gas from our first two high-pressure gas wells. We've also
- 34:15Speaker 5: got a contract, a 10-year contract for our drilling company.
- 34:18Speaker 5: It gives us good confidence in our drilling crews and
- 34:21Speaker 5: our personnel. And yeah, things are moving along. We should
- 34:25Speaker 5: have production here in two or three months' time.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Why is this likely to be the last opportunity like
- 34:31Speaker 1: this ever? in the history of the United States?
- 34:35Speaker 5: Well, what's interesting about this play, and you've mentioned it before,
- 34:38Speaker 5: but this is an undiscovered basin. You know, all the
- 34:40Speaker 5: big basins in the U.S. have been discovered over the
- 34:43Speaker 5: last hundred years or so of exploration, but this one
- 34:47Speaker 5: could never be drilled. And when we made our discovery
- 34:50Speaker 5: well two years ago, we hit such high-pressure gas. This
- 34:54Speaker 5: is on par with the highest pressure recorded in North America.
- 34:58Speaker 5: And so we know this is going to be a
- 35:00Speaker 5: huge gas development and a very significant find. And so far,
- 35:04Speaker 5: we've got 7000 feet of stacked layers of hydrocarbon that
- 35:09Speaker 5: we think we're going to discover here over the next
- 35:11Speaker 5: year or so.
- 35:13Speaker 1: How does Trump's big, beautiful bill impact the lost soldier project?
- 35:17Speaker 5: Well, it really does. What it does is it cuts
- 35:20Speaker 5: the red tape. We are on federal land. We have
- 35:23Speaker 5: a federal unit, 38 square miles to develop on federal land,
- 35:28Speaker 5: and it cuts the red tape for the development. But
- 35:31Speaker 5: the other thing the bill does is it encourages the
- 35:34Speaker 5: use of natural gas. We've got LNG plants shipping at
- 35:38Speaker 5: the highest levels ever. That is expected to grow by
- 35:42Speaker 5: 80 percent over the next four years. And plus all
- 35:46Speaker 5: the tax advantages in the bill for industry. We're going
- 35:49Speaker 5: to see data centers, AI, all of this is needing energy.
- 35:54Speaker 5: And it really improves the ability of natural gas to
- 35:57Speaker 5: be the clean energy source for the country over the
- 36:00Speaker 5: next 10, 15 years.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Lost soldier, 40,000 acres could be the largest gas discovery
- 36:08Speaker 1: in the United States in 100 years. Accredited investors want
- 36:11Speaker 1: to contact you to get involved. How do they do it, Steve?
- 36:15Speaker 5: Very simple, Wayne. Just go to LostSoldier.com and we'll get
- 36:18Speaker 5: back to you right away.
- 36:20Speaker 1: LostSoldier.com. LostSoldier.com. Steve Richards, president of the company. Thanks for
- 36:27Speaker 1: being with us. God bless.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Thanks for having me, Wayne.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Bye. Bye. All right, Wade Allen Roots, and this is

- 38:41Speaker 1: with Jan Jokolek, senior editor at the Epoch Times, author
- 38:45Speaker 1: of Kill to Order. And Jan, you said there's a
- 38:49Speaker 1: living survivor and you could tell us his story. So
- 38:53Speaker 1: I wait with bated breath. What is his story? Tell us.
- 38:57Speaker 4: It's kind of unbelievable that there is a survivor. I've
- 39:00Speaker 4: been sitting in this for 20 years, basically. doing some
- 39:04Speaker 4: of the original reporting when I first realized it was
- 39:07Speaker 4: true and real. Cheng Pei-Ming is a man who is
- 39:12Speaker 4: missing part of his liver, part of it regenerated since
- 39:16Speaker 4: it was removed from his body, and part of his lung.
- 39:20Speaker 4: And basically, he was in a prison. He was one
- 39:23Speaker 4: of these Falun Gong practitioners that was being tortured. And
- 39:28Speaker 4: one day, he woke up, up after having been in
- 39:32Speaker 4: some kind of ward, and he found a 14-inch gash
- 39:35Speaker 4: in his side. And he was feeling a lot of
- 39:38Speaker 4: pain internally, but he didn't fully understand what had happened
- 39:41Speaker 4: to him. and through kind of a series of events,
- 39:45Speaker 4: which I won't disclose to you, but they're kind of shocking.
- 39:48Speaker 4: I'm someone— my father-in-law was a Holocaust survivor. I've interviewed a
- 39:52Speaker 4: number of Holocaust survivors, and they all have these stories where,
- 39:56Speaker 4: you know, they almost got— faced certain death, but something happened,
- 40:00Speaker 4: and they managed to make it, right? And that happened
- 40:02Speaker 4: multiple times, and eventually they survived the war, right? And
- 40:05Speaker 4: they lived to tell the tale. His story is almost— is
- 40:08Speaker 4: a bit similar in some ways— because it's really unexpected
- 40:12Speaker 4: that he might survive. And he only found out later
- 40:15Speaker 4: that this forced organ harvesting was real and actually got
- 40:19Speaker 4: scans done on his body to find that part of
- 40:23Speaker 4: his liver and part of his lung had been taken.
- 40:25Speaker 4: It's not even clear why part of the lung was taken,
- 40:27Speaker 4: because the lung doesn't regenerate. And he lived to tell
- 40:32Speaker 4: the tale, and he's living proof. And when this story
- 40:35Speaker 4: was publicized a few years back, The Chinese regime, it
- 40:39Speaker 4: was very rare for them to ever address anything related
- 40:43Speaker 4: to forced organ harvesting with anything other than just pure slander,
- 40:48Speaker 4: basically attack the messenger, because they really have nothing to
- 40:51Speaker 4: say to it of substance. They've never provided a shred
- 40:54Speaker 4: of evidence that would suggest this is not real, right,
- 40:59Speaker 4: in 20 years. But in this case, they actually admitted,
- 41:02Speaker 4: and again, shockingly, that they did the operation on him.
- 41:06Speaker 4: They said they did it for some other reason, but
- 41:08Speaker 4: they admitted, in effect, that they operate on him against consent,
- 41:13Speaker 4: against his own consent, which is shocking, because it's the
- 41:16Speaker 4: first time we've gotten that kind of admission from the regime.
- 41:20Speaker 1: So how many people do you think there are? How
- 41:22Speaker 1: many victims are there? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions?
- 41:26Speaker 1: I don't know. How many victims are there, Bjorn?
- 41:28Speaker 4: It's very, look, I'm going to be straight with you, okay?
- 41:31Speaker 4: It's very hard to measure this because it's a state secret.
- 41:35Speaker 4: And every type of measurement you do has what we
- 41:38Speaker 4: call large error bars, right? And when we do studies
- 41:42Speaker 4: of this nature. So the best, by best estimate, And this,
- 41:46Speaker 4: for example— I' ll give you an example of how we measure this, right?
- 41:49Speaker 4: There's a hospital that we did a deep study on
- 41:51Speaker 4: in 2016. Actually, you can look it up at the
- 41:54Speaker 4: Epoch Times, a hospital built for murder. Look up an
- 41:58Speaker 4: article titled that. And so this was a hospital. It
- 42:01Speaker 4: was one of the largest transplant centers in China. By
- 42:04Speaker 4: its own admission, it was comparing itself to some large
- 42:07Speaker 4: American transplant centers. But when you looked at their numbers,
- 42:10Speaker 4: the number of beds, if you just looked at their
- 42:12Speaker 4: official numbers, they looked something like a very— successful American
- 42:17Speaker 4: transplant center, okay? But when you looked at the number
- 42:20Speaker 4: of beds that were being used, you looked at all
- 42:22Speaker 4: of these different measures that showed that there's actually 10
- 42:25Speaker 4: times more transplants happening in this hospital, okay? And then
- 42:29Speaker 4: they were actually admitting, because they didn't want to project
- 42:32Speaker 4: numbers that would get people asking these problematic questions. You
- 42:35Speaker 4: add that all up, you get 60,000 to 90,000 transplants
- 42:37Speaker 4: a year annually since, let's just say, the late 2000s.
- 42:44Speaker 4: And when you add all of that up, it could
- 42:46Speaker 4: well be about a million people that have been harvested. But,
- 42:50Speaker 4: you know, I'm not going to sort of stick with
- 42:52Speaker 4: that number because.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Well, let's say it can be up to maybe close
- 42:57Speaker 1: to a million people. Amazing. Jan, we've got to run.
- 43:00Speaker 1: They're in my ear screaming. Jan Jukolic, senior editor at
