- 0:01Speaker 1: My new book is out, How Illegal Immigrants Have Made
- 0:04Speaker 1: America Great. You can only get it at Amazon. How
- 0:06Speaker 1: Illegal Immigrants Have Made America Great. Finally, all of their
- 0:10Speaker 1: unsung achievements in one book, and it's 100-plus blank pages. Okay,
- 0:15Speaker 1: I get it. It's a gag gift, and it even
- 0:16Speaker 1: says on the front, warning, do not show this book
- 0:18Speaker 1: to Democrats. Their heads will explode. And the greatest gift
- 0:22Speaker 1: ever for conservatives, Republicans, MAGA patriots, and anyone born in
- 0:25Speaker 1: the USA, how illegal immigrants have made America great. 100
- 0:28Speaker 1: blank pages. Go get 10 copies, 20 copies. Give it
- 0:32Speaker 1: out to all your friends. So they get the message
- 0:34Speaker 1: that illegal immigrants have not done anything to make America great.
- 0:38Speaker 1: And by the way, understand my theory here. Legal immigrants
- 0:42Speaker 1: have done lots of things to make America great. Our
- 0:44Speaker 1: whole country is legal immigrants. My grandparents were legal immigrants.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Your grandparents were legal immigrants. Your great-grandparents were legal immigrants. Hey,

- 3:21Speaker 1: All right, Wayne Allen, the root, the root, the root,
- 3:23Speaker 1: the root is on fire. Welcome to War Zone Live,
- 3:26Speaker 1: my podcast, which is the official podcast of the Gateway Pundit.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Over 2.5 million daily readers, over a billion page views,
- 3:32Speaker 1: fifth-ranked conservative news site in the United States of America,
- 3:36Speaker 1: which makes it fifth-ranked in the world. And great to
- 3:39Speaker 1: be with you. Great to be with you. Today is Wednesday.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Wednesday the 14th, 15th, 15th of July. That means we're
- 3:47Speaker 1: halfway through summer here. Summer's almost gone. It's exactly the
- 3:51Speaker 1: halfway point. You know, we got six weeks of summer left.
- 3:55Speaker 1: And then Las Vegas turns beautiful. It's a great place
- 3:58Speaker 1: to live, like nine months a year. I'm not really
- 4:00Speaker 1: thrilled about June, July, August. So we're almost there, almost there.
- 4:05Speaker 1: But it's still beautiful. You know why? Because I'm a
- 4:07Speaker 1: sun guy. You know, liberals live in places like Portland, Seattle,
- 4:11Speaker 1: and Minnesota because it's always cloudy and raining in the
- 4:14Speaker 1: summer and miserable all winter because they're miserable, dark people,
- 4:19Speaker 1: negative people, and mostly ugly people. And the people in
- 4:22Speaker 1: Las Vegas are the most beautiful women in the world,
- 4:25Speaker 1: just like LA's sunny and beautiful women. But Vegas is
- 4:28Speaker 1: filled with beautiful women. Sun's always out. Even when it's
- 4:30Speaker 1: hot in the summer, you got beautiful women and the
- 4:32Speaker 1: sun's out. That's good enough for me. So here's the deal.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I want to mention a show that I watched today
- 4:39Speaker 1: because I work out in the gym two hours a day.
- 4:41Speaker 1: As I've said before, the only way you can make
- 4:43Speaker 1: it through a two-hour workout is if you watch movies
- 4:46Speaker 1: or TV shows. And I watched a documentary actually today.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I watched probably about I don't know, about 60% movies
- 4:53Speaker 1: and like 30% TV shows and maybe 10% documentaries. And
- 4:58Speaker 1: I watched a documentary today called Shipwrecked Nightmare at Sea.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And it was a documentary, a real life story about
- 5:07Speaker 1: a cruise ship that hit rocks off the coast of Italy.
- 5:12Speaker 1: The captain evidently screwed up badly and hit rocks and
- 5:15Speaker 1: it ripped a hole in the hull. and the ship sunk,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and it sunk right off the shore. So, I mean,
- 5:20Speaker 1: people could swim, you know, just literally a few yards
- 5:24Speaker 1: and they'd be at the port, but it's still deep
- 5:26Speaker 1: water and some people don't know how to swim. And
- 5:29Speaker 1: there were all kinds of problems. And I think 70
- 5:31Speaker 1: people wound up dying. And it was one of the
- 5:34Speaker 1: great maritime disasters, not, you know, quite the level of
- 5:37Speaker 1: the Titanic, where everything, pretty much half the boat got
- 5:40Speaker 1: wiped out. But nonetheless, it was a major cruise line
- 5:43Speaker 1: or a gigantic cruise ship that sunk right off of
- 5:47Speaker 1: Italy's shores. And I wanted to tell you the lessons
- 5:50Speaker 1: I learned in watching the show. First of all, they
- 5:54Speaker 1: lost electricity as the ship started to go under. And
- 5:58Speaker 1: it was dark. And there was a guy who was
- 6:00Speaker 1: one of the stars of this documentary. Him and his
- 6:02Speaker 1: wife were on the boat with their brand new one-year-old daughter.
- 6:05Speaker 1: And they were climbing up stairs because the announcements kept saying,
- 6:10Speaker 1: go back to your room, go back to your room.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Everything's okay. Go back to your room. And every person
- 6:16Speaker 1: to a man and a woman on this documentary that
- 6:19Speaker 1: heard that message, go back to your room. Every single
- 6:23Speaker 1: one of them disobeyed the order and got to the
- 6:26Speaker 1: rowboats and lived. And the people who listened died, which
- 6:31Speaker 1: is such an important lesson you must learn. Everyone, whenever
- 6:35Speaker 1: you hear an announcement, the people making the announcement, are
- 6:38Speaker 1: liars and scumbags and they know nothing. And if they
- 6:42Speaker 1: do know something, they're lying to you on purpose to
- 6:44Speaker 1: keep there from being a panic or to make sure
- 6:46Speaker 1: that you don't go to the lifeboat. And I'm not
- 6:48Speaker 1: sure about boats, just in life, in the World Trade
- 6:50Speaker 1: Center during 9-1-1. Whatever message you hear, do the opposite.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Go back to your office. No, get to the stairs
- 6:57Speaker 1: and go down because the building's going to collapse. Go
- 6:59Speaker 1: back to your room. No, don't go back to your
- 7:01Speaker 1: cabin slash room because the ship is going to sink
- 7:04Speaker 1: and you're going to die. Don't listen to anything they
- 7:07Speaker 1: tell you. So the announcement or the announcer on the
- 7:10Speaker 1: announcement is saying, go back to your room, go back
- 7:14Speaker 1: to your room. And everything's OK. And they're low keying it.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You know, we've had a slight accident. Wasn't a slight accident.
- 7:19Speaker 1: The entire hall was ripped open and the entire ocean
- 7:22Speaker 1: was pouring in. And the captain is acting as if
- 7:25Speaker 1: everything's okay. And lesson number one, lesson number one is
- 7:31Speaker 1: this guy and his wife going up the stairs with
- 7:33Speaker 1: a one-year-old baby. And I thought of myself going back
- 7:36Speaker 1: to my football days. If I had my one-year-old baby
- 7:39Speaker 1: in my arm and then there were people trying to
- 7:41Speaker 1: block me from getting on a lifeboat or stop me
- 7:43Speaker 1: from going up the stairs, I would knock them unconscious.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I would knock their teeth out. I would grab anything
- 7:48Speaker 1: I could grab, a chair, a desk, anything. a fire
- 7:52Speaker 1: extinguisher and hit him in the head, kill him if
- 7:54Speaker 1: I had to, to protect my wife and my child.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Very important lesson. You do what you have to do.
- 8:01Speaker 1: And I thought that I should bring this up to
- 8:03Speaker 1: start the show because I want to apply it to America.
- 8:06Speaker 1: What do I love?
- 8:07Speaker 4: America.
- 8:08Speaker 1: What do you love? America. And what do you have
- 8:11Speaker 1: to do? Protect America at all costs. Protect the country
- 8:16Speaker 1: you love. That's the greatest nation in world history under
- 8:19Speaker 1: attack from communists, transgender weirdos, illegal aliens, foreign invaders, foreign
- 8:25Speaker 1: globalist enemies who are looking to sink your ship, which
- 8:30Speaker 1: is your country. And you have got to do what
- 8:33Speaker 1: you got to do. If you have to kill them
- 8:35Speaker 1: to get them out of the way, if you have
- 8:36Speaker 1: to hit them in the head with a fire extinguisher,
- 8:38Speaker 1: you carry your country to your bosom like you love it.
- 8:42Speaker 1: And liberals don't love it. They hate it. They're scum.
- 8:45Speaker 1: They're scumbags and they're evil. And so that's the first lesson.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Treat them like you would treat a one-year-old baby as
- 8:53Speaker 1: you're running to a lifeboat and other people are trying
- 8:55Speaker 1: to get on ahead of you. You got to do
- 8:57Speaker 1: what you got to do to hold on tight, protect
- 8:59Speaker 1: the things you love, your wife, your baby, and make
- 9:02Speaker 1: sure you make it. And who wouldn't do that? Only
- 9:05Speaker 1: communist traitors would not love and protect their country, America, right?
- 9:11Speaker 1: I want you to think of walking in a bad
- 9:13Speaker 1: neighborhood at night, right? A really rough, dangerous, high-crime-ridden neighborhood.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You're driving through it. Your car stalls. Your car stops,
- 9:20Speaker 1: or you have a flat tire. Your engine seizes. And
- 9:23Speaker 1: now you've got to get out of the car to
- 9:25Speaker 1: a bad neighbor and you've got to walk for help.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You better hold your baby and hold your wife's hand.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Or maybe you could turn it into a natural disaster.
- 9:33Speaker 1: You're facing a tornado, a hurricane, a flood. You better
- 9:36Speaker 1: hold your family's hand and never let go. I want
- 9:39Speaker 1: you to hold America's hand and never let go. It's
- 9:42Speaker 1: our right to do that. It's our responsibility to do that.
- 9:45Speaker 1: So think of the people you love and protect America
- 9:48Speaker 1: like the people you love. Lesson number two is do
- 9:50Speaker 1: not listen to authority. Their advice will kill you. Authorities
- 9:54Speaker 1: are wrong about everything. Experts are frauds. They know nothing.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They're wrong about everything. They're morons. or they're bootlicking order
- 10:01Speaker 1: takers or they want you. They may not want you
- 10:04Speaker 1: to die, but they want you out of the way. Well,
- 10:06Speaker 1: they run to the lifeboat. Lesson number three is the
- 10:09Speaker 1: cover up when they try and tell you everything's fine.
- 10:12Speaker 1: It's not fine. That's what's going on in America today.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Liberals are trying to say everything's fine. We're letting in
- 10:18Speaker 1: 50 million illegals. No problem. They're all nice. They're all
- 10:21Speaker 1: here to make a better life. They're not here to
- 10:24Speaker 1: murder you, kill you, rape you. They're not here to
- 10:26Speaker 1: abuse your children. They're not here to steal your jobs.
- 10:29Speaker 1: They're not here to make the place filthy and drop
- 10:32Speaker 1: garbage and litter and poop on the ground. No, they're
- 10:34Speaker 1: all here to be good to you. Don't listen to
- 10:37Speaker 1: anything anybody tells you. It's all a cover-up. That's the
- 10:40Speaker 1: third lesson I learned. And then I'm trying to find
- 10:44Speaker 1: the last lesson here. There's two last lessons. First of all,
- 10:48Speaker 1: every man for himself, right? Don't wait for government or
- 10:51Speaker 1: people of authority to save you. You are the only
- 10:55Speaker 1: one who could save you. If it's to be, it's
- 10:57Speaker 1: up to me. And you got to do what you
- 10:59Speaker 1: got to do. All that matters is the survival of
- 11:01Speaker 1: you and your family. Every man for himself. And it's
- 11:05Speaker 1: getting to be that time in America. every man and
- 11:09Speaker 1: woman for themselves, and you have got to do anything
- 11:13Speaker 1: to protect America, just like it's your little child or
- 11:16Speaker 1: your mommy and daddy. You got to protect them because
- 11:19Speaker 1: you love them. You got to protect America because you
- 11:21Speaker 1: love it. And these people on the left are here
- 11:24Speaker 1: to kill, enslave, destroy you, fill this nation with with
- 11:28Speaker 1: Muslim murderers. They're here to inoculate you with vaccines that
- 11:33Speaker 1: will kill you and fill the air with chemtrails and
- 11:37Speaker 1: destroy your life financially with electric bills that are going
- 11:41Speaker 1: to be $ 2, 000 a month for a small apartment because
- 11:43Speaker 1: they believe in climate change. And this is what you're
- 11:46Speaker 1: dealing with, folks. So I just thought that movie was
- 11:49Speaker 1: an interesting movie that was kind of a representation of
- 11:53Speaker 1: life and everything going on in the country today. And
- 11:56Speaker 1: the movie, again, I'll give you the name in case
- 11:58Speaker 1: you want to watch it. Shipwrecked Nightmare at Sea. Shipwrecked
- 12:02Speaker 1: Nightmare at Sea. Very interesting, very interesting movie. It's going
- 12:05Speaker 1: on every day, you know. I didn't have a chance
- 12:07Speaker 1: to download it. I'll try to do it in the break.
- 12:10Speaker 1: But there was a story about Governor Tim Walz of
- 12:13Speaker 1: Minnesota making a case for why he wanted to defend
- 12:17Speaker 1: and did not want to deport an illegal alien who
- 12:21Speaker 1: raped little children. Raped little children. I believe he repeatedly
- 12:26Speaker 1: raped a little girl under the age of 10. And
- 12:28Speaker 1: he did not want him deported. Marco Rubio said, screw that.
- 12:32Speaker 1: We're getting this guy out of the country and deported him.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Can you imagine that there are people this bad in America?
- 12:39Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the guy who raped a
- 12:40Speaker 1: little girl. I'm talking about Governor Tim Walz. Can you
- 12:43Speaker 1: even imagine there's people that bad in the United States
- 12:46Speaker 1: of America who don't care that someone has raped a
- 12:49Speaker 1: little girl? They want to protect them and keep them
- 12:52Speaker 1: from being deported out of the United States. That's what
- 12:55Speaker 1: you're dealing with, folks. All right. Here's a good example
- 13:00Speaker 1: of the problems we face. And I think the biggest
- 13:02Speaker 1: problem is the insurrectionist communist judges. Or maybe I say
- 13:07Speaker 1: communist first. Communist insurrectionist judges. And here's a judge in Nevada.
- 13:12Speaker 1: A judge in Nevada. Let's see if I can find
- 13:14Speaker 1: his name. U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware II. A Nevada
- 13:19Speaker 1: judge accused— he' s black, he's a Democrat, and I'm guessing he's
- 13:24Speaker 1: a communist who hates this country, and his wife is
- 13:28Speaker 1: a city councilwoman. Very few people know that. He's married
- 13:30Speaker 1: to a city councilwoman. Another great lesson to be learned.
- 13:34Speaker 1: All the scumbags are married to each other. You find
- 13:37Speaker 1: me a scumbag in government working for Obama, Biden, Kamala—
- 13:41Speaker 1: I'll find you their husband is working for the media,
- 13:44Speaker 1: or their husband works for another communist, evil, scumbag, Marxist politician,
- 13:49Speaker 1: or they're trying to destroy you with some climate change organization.
- 13:52Speaker 1: or they're fighting for illegal aliens. It's incestuous. They're all together.
- 13:57Speaker 1: These people are disgusting, and they're together. And yes, because
- 14:01Speaker 1: they're Democrats, they're mostly ugly. They're ugly on the outside,
- 14:04Speaker 1: and they're ugly on the inside. Terrible people. But this justice,
- 14:08Speaker 1: his name is U.S. District Judge Richard F. Boulware II.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Can you imagine? There was one before him, too. Disgusting
- 14:15Speaker 1: evil monster. One, Richard F. Boulware, the first, obviously. He
- 14:19Speaker 1: accused ICE of lawless conduct for holding immigrants with no
- 14:24Speaker 1: legal status in arbitrary detention for months without providing bond
- 14:28Speaker 1: hearings and ordered the release of 17 detainees earlier this month.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And said he would consider sanctions against ICE officials who
- 14:38Speaker 1: defied his orders. These judges, you're just a fat guy
- 14:43Speaker 1: with a black robe. And you think that, like, you
- 14:45Speaker 1: could put people in jail because they disagree with you.
- 14:49Speaker 1: And the disagreement is because you protect illegals and we
- 14:53Speaker 1: want to get them out of the country. It's so ridiculous.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And all but two of the Taney's have been released
- 14:59Speaker 1: as of Monday, according to the ACLU, which represents them.
- 15:05Speaker 5: Wow.
- 15:06Speaker 1: His orders relate to his late March ruling in which
- 15:09Speaker 1: he determined that a Department of Homeland Security policy that
- 15:12Speaker 1: called for mandatory detention of immigrants in deportation proceedings who
- 15:16Speaker 1: otherwise would have been eligible for bail was unconstitutional. Oh,
- 15:22Speaker 1: these people are all the same. I think this is
- 15:24Speaker 1: the guy that in my mock trial on Friday where
- 15:26Speaker 1: I kicked his ass, an ACLU lawyer was one of
- 15:31Speaker 1: the witnesses for the defense attorney. I believe this is
- 15:34Speaker 1: the guy. Athar Hasselbula. I love these names. You're not American.
- 15:41Speaker 1: What's your name? Athar Hasselbula. Wow, these people are from
- 15:46Speaker 1: another world. As someone who's practiced law at a high
- 15:48Speaker 1: level for quite some time, he said... I've never seen
- 15:52Speaker 1: anything quite like this. Rarely do we see a government
- 15:55Speaker 1: agency openly and brazenly ignoring federal court orders. This is
- 15:59Speaker 1: what we have to do from now on. ignore all
- 16:02Speaker 1: of their orders. These judges are communists. The ACLU is communist.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Communist is a domestic terrorist organization. We need to ban
- 16:11Speaker 1: communism in the United States and ban communist groups in
- 16:14Speaker 1: the United States of America, as well as ban Sharia
- 16:17Speaker 1: law and radical Islam. And these judges need to be
- 16:20Speaker 1: stripped of their power, impeached, kicked out of office. and
- 16:23Speaker 1: sent to Gitmo. They're all on the side of foreign invaders.
- 16:28Speaker 1: They want open borders. They want to destroy our country.
- 16:31Speaker 1: They're the most disgusting, despicable people in the world. All right.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Sponsor of this segment of the show, when I get back,
- 16:39Speaker 1: I've got another good one to tell you about. But
- 16:40Speaker 1: in the meantime, Energized Health is the sponsor of this show.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I joined the Energized Health program in November of 2020.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Changed my life, changed my career. I lost 25 pounds
- 16:50Speaker 1: of fat. I gained 10 pounds of muscle. I didn't
- 16:53Speaker 1: even know I had anything to lose, and I didn't
- 16:54Speaker 1: have weight to lose because I weigh the same amount now.
- 16:56Speaker 1: But that's how I looked 15 years ago, not 20.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Not six years ago. That's 15 years ago. And I'm
- 17:01Speaker 1: younger today at the age of 65 on Sunday. Excuse me,
- 17:04Speaker 1: on Monday. I'll be 65 next Monday, this coming Monday.
- 17:08Speaker 1: 65 years old. I just got on Medicare July 1st.
- 17:11Speaker 1: And I look as good as most 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds.
- 17:16Speaker 1: But I look as good as I did as a
- 17:18Speaker 1: football player at 18 years old. Same body, same weight,
- 17:21Speaker 1: has a strong safety and a monster back. When I
- 17:23Speaker 1: was 18 years old, 17 years old, my body looks
- 17:26Speaker 1: exactly the same thanks to Energize Health. Six years on
- 17:30Speaker 1: this program, fat melted off my face, fat melted off
- 17:33Speaker 1: my body. Didn't lose any weight, but lost 25 pounds
- 17:36Speaker 1: of fat and gained 10 pounds of muscle. It's my
- 17:38Speaker 1: fountain of youth. It reversed aged me. It can do
- 17:41Speaker 1: the same for you, and it works effectively along with
- 17:44Speaker 1: GLP-1s like Ozempic to help you minimize those negative side
- 17:49Speaker 1: effects of the GLPs. Ozempic and Manjaro have terrible side effects.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And God help you if you experience those side effects. Well,
- 17:57Speaker 1: you can use this program with your GLPs and it

- 22:40Speaker 1: So I was just texting Bannon and saying, hey, you
- 22:42Speaker 1: asked me to be on at 5 o'clock. My podcast
- 22:45Speaker 1: ends at 5 o'clock, so we've got to coordinate this.
- 22:47Speaker 1: It's going to be very tight. Got to figure out
- 22:48Speaker 1: what to do. I've got a guest on now, Wayne Barnes.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Another Wayne. Welcome to the other Wayne. Wayne Barnes, 29-year
- 22:56Speaker 1: FBI counterintelligence agent. Let's first say hi to Wayne. Wayne,
- 22:59Speaker 1: how are you? It's Wayne.
- 23:01Speaker 7: I'm doing very well. I'm doing really well, Wayne. My name, Wayne,
- 23:03Speaker 7: is going well through life. I've really enjoyed having it.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Two Waynes. Two Waynes. And the third Wayne is Wayne Newton.
- 23:09Speaker 1: So now we've got three Waynes in Las Vegas. On
- 23:12Speaker 1: June 3rd, the FBI and MI5 and three other allied
- 23:17Speaker 1: services issued a joint warning. Chinese military intelligence is running
- 23:23Speaker 1: active recruitment campaigns through LinkedIn, posing as think tanks and consultancies.
- 23:30Speaker 1: to target clearance holders. So let me tell you, as
- 23:34Speaker 1: a person who studies politics 25 hours a day and
- 23:36Speaker 1: thinks he's a smart guy, Wayne, I have no idea
- 23:39Speaker 1: what this says. I don't even know what that means.
- 23:41Speaker 1: What the hell is a clearance holder? I don't even
- 23:43Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Tell me in layman's terms
- 23:47Speaker 1: what the hell's going on.
- 23:49Speaker 8: When you're in the federal government, if you have a clearance,
- 23:52Speaker 8: and many, many thousands of people do have clearances, tens
- 23:54Speaker 8: of thousands, It means you've passed a background check. They've
- 23:57Speaker 8: interviewed your neighbors, your relatives. They've done your background. They
- 24:00Speaker 8: look for your online information. And they determine if you,
- 24:04Speaker 8: in fact, are a security risk so that you can
- 24:07Speaker 8: learn our nation's secrets. In the FBI, everyone has a
- 24:10Speaker 8: top-secret security clearance. But also we have individuals who are
- 24:14Speaker 8: defense contractors. You're a naval architect working on the new
- 24:17Speaker 8: design for a submarine or the new plane wing for
- 24:21Speaker 8: the B-2 bomber. All these people have clearances while they're
- 24:24Speaker 8: not in the federal government per se. So there are
- 24:26Speaker 8: really tens of thousands of people who have clearances. So
- 24:29Speaker 8: what this organization was doing, what the Chinese were doing,
- 24:32Speaker 8: was they were using a typical American website, LinkedIn or
- 24:36Speaker 8: others similar to it, and they were posting employment for
- 24:40Speaker 8: people who had the skill sets to have those jobs completed.
- 24:43Speaker 7: Which would require government clearances.
- 24:46Speaker 8: Of course, in England, there's an Official Secrets Act where
- 24:48Speaker 8: you sign something on the dotted line. When you leave
- 24:51Speaker 8: a government job or when you leave the FBI and
- 24:53Speaker 8: if you had a clearance, there's also a document. It's
- 24:55Speaker 8: not so high and mighty sort of a name, but
- 24:57Speaker 8: it's a very specific document, which indicates that secrets you have,
- 25:00Speaker 8: things you know, will remain with you.
- 25:02Speaker 7: You won't give them to others.
- 25:04Speaker 8: So if someone is either fired from a job or
- 25:05Speaker 8: just decides to leave or moves and hasn't got a position,
- 25:08Speaker 8: but they used to have a clearance, What it looks
- 25:10Speaker 8: like the Chinese are aiming at are those kind of
- 25:13Speaker 8: people involved in the tech world where they've got clearances
- 25:16Speaker 8: and technology skill. The difficulty is they're pitching people in
- 25:20Speaker 8: this effort to get their knowledge, their secrets, in a
- 25:23Speaker 8: very cold way. That is to say, at one point,
- 25:28Speaker 8: they have to say, well, show us examples of things
- 25:30Speaker 8: you've written, saying what your skill set is in your
- 25:32Speaker 8: particular field.
- 25:33Speaker 7: And at that point, they.
- 25:35Speaker 8: should say, well, everything I've written in the past five
- 25:38Speaker 8: years was classified for the federal government. But some, right,
- 25:42Speaker 8: or secret or top secret or compartmented something. So at
- 25:46Speaker 8: one point they may say, well, listen, I'm stuck here
- 25:48Speaker 8: in Portland, Oregon.
- 25:50Speaker 7: I moved here to be with my wife's family. I
- 25:52Speaker 7: don't have a job. I got to get a job.
- 25:54Speaker 8: Maybe I just give them one of these papers I
- 25:56Speaker 8: had so they see my skill in writing.
- 25:58Speaker 7: And that's the kind of thing they're looking for.
- 25:59Speaker 8: But the weakness in that from the other side is
- 26:03Speaker 8: that if you give someone your secret or if you
- 26:06Speaker 8: realize that's what they want, you report this to your
- 26:08Speaker 8: local FBI office or the security officer in the last
- 26:11Speaker 8: place where you worked if you're a defense contractor, and
- 26:14Speaker 8: that person will put out the alert. They'll say, hey,
- 26:16Speaker 8: all you people who are leaving your positions now, whether
- 26:18Speaker 8: you're leaving them or looking to leave the position, be
- 26:21Speaker 8: aware this is out there. So it could only work
- 26:23Speaker 8: maybe one or two times unless someone is really against
- 26:26Speaker 8: the U.S., And it can be shut down by having
- 26:30Speaker 8: noticed that just like came out. But enough people did
- 26:33Speaker 8: it or happened. It happened to them where they were
- 26:35Speaker 8: pitched this way that it became known. So all the effort,
- 26:38Speaker 8: all the time they put into it. I don't know
- 26:40Speaker 8: how much it succeeded, but.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Well, here's the problem.
- 26:44Speaker 7: That was the plan.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Here's the problem I see as a common sense guy.
- 26:47Speaker 1: There's there's. Several things. Number one, most people need money.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Right.
- 26:52Speaker 1: And if you leave the government, you don't have the
- 26:53Speaker 1: job anymore. You really need money. So they become desperate.
- 26:56Speaker 1: And number two, based on everything I've learned in the
- 26:59Speaker 1: last 10 years with Donald Trump as president, multiple times,
- 27:03Speaker 1: almost the whole government is against them. They're all communists.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing. I mean, I know it's not
- 27:07Speaker 1: 100 percent, but it must be like some very high number.
- 27:11Speaker 1: that are communists and traitors and willing to sell out
- 27:13Speaker 1: the United States. They hate the country. They hate capitalism.
- 27:17Speaker 1: They hate people in private industry. They hate people like
- 27:19Speaker 1: me who are entrepreneurs, who make money. They hate successful people,
- 27:23Speaker 1: many of them. Nowadays, it seems like they all hate
- 27:26Speaker 1: Jews for being Jewish. I mean, it's just crazy how
- 27:30Speaker 1: bad the liberal left is. And it seems like everyone
- 27:32Speaker 1: in the government is part of the liberal left and
- 27:34Speaker 1: the deep state and the D.C. swamp. So when they
- 27:37Speaker 1: put ads like that out, it seems to me there's
- 27:39Speaker 1: a high level of probability they're going to find people
- 27:42Speaker 1: who are willing to play ball.
- 27:44Speaker 8: Well, you know the term fishing expedition. This is, from
- 27:47Speaker 8: their side, really a fishing expedition. It's not like you're
- 27:50Speaker 8: looking for a search warrant, anything in the house you
- 27:52Speaker 8: think might be of interest. You have to name it specifically.
- 27:54Speaker 8: Their fishing expedition is going to these people, the kind
- 27:57Speaker 8: you mentioned. Some people leave America and go to Ireland.
- 28:01Speaker 8: Others leave the job because they just don't want to
- 28:03Speaker 8: work for the government or for the president. But most
- 28:05Speaker 8: people who are loyal Americans who have the clearance and
- 28:07Speaker 8: work for the federal government, it's their job to do
- 28:09Speaker 8: their job and also to keep the secrets once they leave.
- 28:13Speaker 8: And I know they find out or they realize that
- 28:15Speaker 8: if they give away secrets, they can be convicted of espionage,
- 28:19Speaker 8: providing someone information covertly or overtly as much as you
- 28:23Speaker 8: can to get whatever money you want. But it's the
- 28:26Speaker 8: only crime mentioned in the U.S. Constitution where it has
- 28:30Speaker 8: a death penalty to go along with it.
- 28:32Speaker 7: That's espionage. And that's what they'd be committing.
- 28:35Speaker 1: All right, so we're talking to Wayne Barnes, 29-year FBI
- 28:38Speaker 1: counterintelligence agent. Now, Wayne, you use the same playbook to
- 28:43Speaker 1: turn sources yourself. In other words, to turn foreign sources
- 28:47Speaker 1: into American spies who are spying on our behalf. Is
- 28:51Speaker 1: that correct?
- 28:52Speaker 8: Hopefully, I'd like to say my efforts were much more
- 28:55Speaker 8: sophisticated than a fishing expedition through LinkedIn.
- 28:59Speaker 1: But you did turn people, but you did turn people
- 29:02Speaker 1: for a living, so you understand how it's done.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Right, yes.
- 29:05Speaker 8: No, we use the term recruit. You recruit an individual.
- 29:09Speaker 8: And if you have a Soviet during the Cold War,
- 29:12Speaker 8: a KGB officer, and he decides to defect to the West,
- 29:15Speaker 8: and we know that that's the case, maybe he's in
- 29:17Speaker 8: trouble at home, we'd like to find him, befriend him,
- 29:21Speaker 8: recruit him, and understand what his difficulty is. And instead
- 29:25Speaker 8: of having him leave the country and come out as
- 29:27Speaker 8: an open defector, we'd like to turn him around and
- 29:30Speaker 8: send him back. Or if he's in the Soviet embassy
- 29:32Speaker 8: in Washington— We'd like to have him just stay in
- 29:34Speaker 8: place as long as he can, as long as it's
- 29:36Speaker 8: safe for him. So that's a recruitment in place. We'd
- 29:39Speaker 8: rather have someone not defect openly if we can possibly
- 29:42Speaker 8: do that. So we have cases where we work on
- 29:44Speaker 8: individuals during the Cold War, during the era of the
- 29:48Speaker 8: Warsaw Pact. We dealt with embassy officials from Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,
- 29:55Speaker 8: and the effort was to recruit them. And you found someone,
- 29:57Speaker 8: for instance, in the Czech embassy, a man who was
- 29:59Speaker 8: a Czech colonel and charged their intelligence service in the embassy,
- 30:02Speaker 8: but he was also a captain in the KGB, had
- 30:05Speaker 8: that rank. So people in the bloc embassies would know
- 30:08Speaker 8: a lot of what the Soviets were doing besides having
- 30:10Speaker 8: the Soviets as targets. So the goal is to recruit
- 30:13Speaker 8: one of them. And it isn't much to turn them.
- 30:15Speaker 8: That's more like a criminal term when you're talking about
- 30:18Speaker 8: someone in a gang, you turn them so they work
- 30:20Speaker 8: against their fellow men or their fellow gang members. But
- 30:24Speaker 8: so the terms we use are it's a recruitment in place.
- 30:26Speaker 8: And it's the defectors. And when you hear about the
- 30:29Speaker 8: gymnasts and the rowers, they say, oh, this person defected.
- 30:32Speaker 8: They are asylum seekers. In order to be a defector,
- 30:35Speaker 8: you have to have intelligence information. Whether you had a clearance,
- 30:38Speaker 8: we have to have intelligence data to either to bring
- 30:40Speaker 8: with you or that's in your head when you come out.
- 30:43Speaker 8: So we deal with defectors and intelligence officers.
- 30:46Speaker 1: All right. So this is a LinkedIn story. But in
- 30:48Speaker 1: addition to LinkedIn, how else is Chinese intelligence trying to
- 30:53Speaker 1: recruit Americans? What other ways are they doing it?
- 30:57Speaker 7: Well, their system is completely different than ours.
- 31:00Speaker 8: A number of years ago, a senior intelligence official in China,
- 31:05Speaker 8: he was making a presentation at some sort of a
- 31:07Speaker 8: meeting where he was wearing an American-style suit. And he
- 31:11Speaker 8: was asked about, how do you get information from the West,
- 31:14Speaker 8: the U.S.
- 31:14Speaker 7: In particular?
- 31:15Speaker 8: And he laughed.
- 31:17Speaker 7: And he said, we have them covered.
- 31:18Speaker 8: Now, if we want to try to cover China, they
- 31:22Speaker 8: have an embassy in Washington, D.C.
- 31:24Speaker 7: They have consulates in various places.
- 31:26Speaker 8: And You could try to recruit an intelligence officer who's
- 31:29Speaker 8: there or any embassy official, but they have a much
- 31:33Speaker 8: more advantageous situation to go against the U.S. So how
- 31:38Speaker 8: many American students are exchange students in China working.
- 31:41Speaker 7: On a Ph.D.? Not many.
- 31:44Speaker 8: How many Chinese students are in the U.S.
- 31:46Speaker 7: Working on a Ph.D.? I mean, the number of students
- 31:49Speaker 7: are extraordinary.
- 31:51Speaker 8: I have worked some cases involving Saudi, not when I
- 31:54Speaker 8: encounter intelligence, but I was surprised to learn that there
- 31:57Speaker 8: are 18,000 Saudi students in the U.S.
- 32:00Speaker 7: That's an astonishing number. And the Chinese, I'm sure that
- 32:03Speaker 7: it's more.
- 32:04Speaker 8: So we have documents which we would consider not classified,
- 32:09Speaker 8: something which an individual wrote a Ph.D. thesis on, whether
- 32:11Speaker 8: it's to do with physics or orbiting a planet or
- 32:14Speaker 8: whatever it might be. In places like the Soviet Union,
- 32:17Speaker 8: places like China, those things are classified. So you can
- 32:21Speaker 8: get things which in their countries would be classified, but
- 32:23Speaker 8: not in our country.
- 32:25Speaker 7: So it's enormously open.
- 32:26Speaker 8: But if you have a driver for Nancy Pelosi, if
- 32:29Speaker 8: you have the girlfriend of Congressman Swalwell, if you have
- 32:32Speaker 8: other individuals, they're all over. How many Americans are.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Chauffeurs? Working in China.
- 32:38Speaker 7: Or an official in China. So they can pepper the
- 32:41Speaker 7: continent off. with all sorts of people at different levels. Now,
- 32:45Speaker 7: if you remember, many people asked.
- 32:46Speaker 8: About the show The Americans, which was to a Soviet
- 32:49Speaker 8: couple on TV and Netflix or one of those shows
- 32:52Speaker 8: where they were illegals. That is to say, they were undercover,
- 32:55Speaker 8: pretending to be Americans just for the regular jobs. And
- 32:57Speaker 8: the question is, well, they don't have clearances. Well, what
- 32:59Speaker 8: could they do? But they meet people with clearances. They
- 33:02Speaker 8: go to the party of FBI agents who lives across
- 33:04Speaker 8: the street.
- 33:05Speaker 7: They hear what he and his friends have in conversation.
- 33:07Speaker 8: You can learn things, not necessarily with clearances, but about people,
- 33:10Speaker 8: about meetings, about concepts. But coming to the U.S., they
- 33:15Speaker 8: can have people in positions. You know, if you're Nancy
- 33:17Speaker 8: Pelosi's chauffeur, what can you learn? You would be surprised
- 33:21Speaker 8: what you can learn.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Well, how about Dianne Feinstein's chauffeur, right? Wasn't there a
- 33:24Speaker 1: problem with him as well, if I remember correctly, or
- 33:26Speaker 1: chief of staff, something like that?
- 33:27Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd be making a mismatch whether it was Pelosi
- 33:32Speaker 8: versus Feinstein. But yes, I apologize to whoever it was.
- 33:35Speaker 8: But certainly, that's the same idea. And there's a lot
- 33:38Speaker 8: that can be learned. Plus, if they want, if they
- 33:40Speaker 8: have the technology— They can put, you know, bugs places.
- 33:43Speaker 8: You can have the back window sealed up so that
- 33:46Speaker 8: if they attack you, you can't get from front to back.
- 33:48Speaker 8: You can put a listening device there, so it doesn't
- 33:50Speaker 8: matter whether the window is sealed. You can still have
- 33:51Speaker 8: someone listening. I mean, the espionage back says to be
- 33:54Speaker 8: enormously opportunistic in the U.S.
- 33:56Speaker 7: For these people.
- 33:57Speaker 1: So, Wayne, we're talking here, this entire interview has been
- 33:59Speaker 1: about China, China, China, and all their attempts to stick
- 34:02Speaker 1: spies in the United States. But my director, Pitar, was
- 34:05Speaker 1: just asking me here off to the side, Pitar saying,
- 34:09Speaker 1: ask Wayne about Iranian intelligence. They must be sticking people
- 34:14Speaker 1: inside the United States to spy as well in many,
- 34:17Speaker 1: many different ways.
- 34:20Speaker 7: It's not that it's not as sophisticated.
- 34:22Speaker 8: It's much more technology with NSA and other organizations. What
- 34:26Speaker 8: the military has with what they know about Iran is
- 34:30Speaker 8: absolutely extraordinary, plus our allies and the skills and technologies
- 34:34Speaker 8: coming out of Ukraine with their various levels of drones,
- 34:39Speaker 8: boats that are drones now. I don't know what the
- 34:43Speaker 8: status is of counterterrorism and U.S. intelligence against Iran if
- 34:48Speaker 8: they're functioning in the U.S. Like, we can't easily go there.
- 34:51Speaker 8: We can have people covertly as the CIA or other
- 34:55Speaker 8: intelligence organizations.
- 34:55Speaker 1: But they can easily come here.
- 34:57Speaker 8: They can easily come here, much more easily than we
- 35:00Speaker 8: can go there. It's not that their standards are higher.
- 35:04Speaker 8: You just, you know, look at me. I probably can't
- 35:06Speaker 8: go there and start speaking Farsi and have them accept
- 35:08Speaker 8: the conversation from me.
- 35:09Speaker 7: So you have.
- 35:10Speaker 8: Someone who's ethnically from that country. In this country, your
- 35:13Speaker 8: ethnicity hardly makes a difference in many locations.
- 35:16Speaker 4: Right.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Well, especially like Beverly Hills. It's known as Little Iran now.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I mean, it's just Iranians everywhere. And I'm sure 99%
- 35:23Speaker 1: of them are good Iranians who are escaped to this country.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Many of them are Jewish Iranians who ran away from
- 35:28Speaker 1: the Muslim radicalism. But there must be a few that
- 35:32Speaker 1: slip in who are working for the Iranian government and
- 35:34Speaker 1: are here as spies, I'm sure. You recruited the source
- 35:38Speaker 1: that took down Robert Henson, who was a FBI trader.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Your book, A Trader in the FBI, The Hunt for
- 35:47Speaker 1: a Russian Mole, tells that story. Tell us what happened
- 35:50Speaker 1: in that story.
- 35:53Speaker 8: I've been assigned to Washington, the Washington field office for
- 35:56Speaker 8: 18 years. And I had been the security officer for
- 36:00Speaker 8: the field office. I had a record number of hours
- 36:03Speaker 8: of what we call FaceTime, working undercover operations against harder targets,
- 36:07Speaker 8: the Soviets, Romanians, Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, all sorts of people.
- 36:12Speaker 8: I wrote a handbook about working undercover counterintelligence. for the
- 36:16Speaker 8: newer agents coming in to know how to do it.
- 36:17Speaker 8: So I had an awful lot of that experience. And
- 36:20Speaker 8: I had debriefed a record, I think, 24 defectors and
- 36:23Speaker 8: recruitments in place. So my brain was deeply embedded into
- 36:25Speaker 8: that area. And then I had a daughter who was
- 36:28Speaker 8: born with a disability. And they said, would you need
- 36:29Speaker 8: to go to San Diego, where the children's hospital have
- 36:31Speaker 8: the best orthopedic surgeons in the world?
- 36:34Speaker 7: So I left all that behind. I was happy to
- 36:36Speaker 7: do it regarding my daughter. But so I moved to.
- 36:39Speaker 8: San Diego and I was away from counterintelligence, working health
- 36:41Speaker 8: care fraud and other things. And then one day, I
- 36:44Speaker 8: got a call from an old, old friend from Washington.
- 36:46Speaker 8: On a Sunday morning, he said, Mike and Dave and
- 36:48Speaker 8: I are coming out on Tuesday. Don't tell anybody we're coming.
- 36:51Speaker 8: And that's a surprise. That's called undercover of darkness. And
- 36:54Speaker 8: the Bureau doesn't do that. But they came out.
- 36:57Speaker 7: Don't tell your wife. Don't tell the counterintelligence people.
- 36:59Speaker 1: No one.
- 37:00Speaker 8: So I met them on a Tuesday, and they said
- 37:01Speaker 8: right up front, we have a penetration of the FBI.
- 37:04Speaker 8: We have a mole in the FBI working for the KGB.
- 37:08Speaker 8: And at one point, there was a question whether it
- 37:09Speaker 8: was the FBI or the CIA.
- 37:10Speaker 7: Well, it turns out, obviously, it was the FBI.
- 37:13Speaker 8: So they said, there's a Russian who we know knows
- 37:15Speaker 8: the face of the man he has seen, the American
- 37:17Speaker 8: who's giving secrets to the Russians. They said, he's coming
- 37:21Speaker 8: to a film festival in Santa Monica in two months.
- 37:23Speaker 8: They said, we want you to go to this film festival,
- 37:27Speaker 8: create some kind of backstopping cover, some legend, which would
- 37:30Speaker 8: enable you to be there, like a financer of independent films,
- 37:32Speaker 8: something like that. But go to the film festival, find
- 37:35Speaker 8: this man, meet him, befriend him, recruit him. And then
- 37:38Speaker 8: show them photos of a dozen senior agents who we
- 37:40Speaker 8: suspect one of them might.
- 37:42Speaker 7: Be the mole in the FBI. Now, that's really your
- 37:46Speaker 7: mission impossible.
- 37:47Speaker 8: And when the Soviet was assigned to Washington for four
- 37:49Speaker 8: years during the Cold War, it was almost impossible to
- 37:52Speaker 8: recruit them.
- 37:53Speaker 7: So I said, well, gee, how long do I have
- 37:55Speaker 7: to do this? And they said, well, the festival lasts
- 37:57Speaker 7: for eight days. So we have eight days to do this.
- 38:00Speaker 7: You're laughing with me, right?
- 38:01Speaker 1: Mission Impossible. There's the movie.
- 38:04Speaker 4: Right.
- 38:05Speaker 8: So Tom Cruise's movies make that point. His obstacles were physical,
- 38:09Speaker 8: jumping out of airplanes and motorcycles off of cliffs. Mine
- 38:12Speaker 8: was psychological. There were two superpowers, and the Russians believed
- 38:16Speaker 8: they belonged to the best superpower, so why would the
- 38:18Speaker 8: guy want to talk to me? And the answer is
- 38:20Speaker 8: he probably wouldn't, but that is the whole idea of recruiting. Now,
- 38:24Speaker 8: I have a dear friend in John Douglas who was
- 38:26Speaker 8: the original profiler. He invented profiling. He is a mind hunter,
- 38:29Speaker 8: and he had The Criminal Mind Show was based upon
- 38:31Speaker 8: him as well. He was creating profiles for people.
- 38:35Speaker 7: He started with serial murderers.
- 38:37Speaker 8: He went to prisons, interviewed all the serial murderers to
- 38:40Speaker 8: know what their mindset was. At the same time, parallel
- 38:43Speaker 8: to that, but not directly connected, we were profiling people
- 38:46Speaker 8: in the various embassies who we wanted to target.
- 38:48Speaker 7: And that was... extremely important. You just can't pitch someone
- 38:52Speaker 7: in a bathroom.
- 38:52Speaker 8: You really have to have a lot of knowledge about
- 38:55Speaker 8: the individuals. And in this situation, we had some information
- 38:59Speaker 8: about the man, but the idea is I had to
- 39:01Speaker 8: go to the film festival and find him and then
- 39:03Speaker 8: meet him in a way that he wouldn't think was suspicious.
- 39:06Speaker 8: I mean, in the CIA, they have what they call
- 39:08Speaker 8: a cold bump. You have an embassy reception, you invite
- 39:11Speaker 8: everybody in who wants to come, and someone who came
- 39:13Speaker 8: who was a target of yours, you just back around
- 39:16Speaker 8: and hit them on the side, oh, excuse me, and
- 39:17Speaker 8: then you start a conversation.
- 39:19Speaker 7: There couldn't be anything.
- 39:20Speaker 8: More obvious of someone who's trying to get close to
- 39:23Speaker 8: an interview by having the cold bump.
- 39:25Speaker 7: We had to do that completely the other way around.
- 39:27Speaker 7: We had to find him in a way that would be.
- 39:30Speaker 8: Unsuspicious to meet him and have him become a friend
- 39:33Speaker 8: and then try to deal with it from there.
- 39:35Speaker 7: But it didn't work in that.
- 39:36Speaker 8: Eight days, but it did eventually work. He did point
- 39:38Speaker 8: out a photo. And a couple of years later, Robert
- 39:41Speaker 8: Hansen was arrested.
- 39:42Speaker 7: So it worked well. But I was retired by then,
- 39:45Speaker 7: so I was out.
- 39:45Speaker 8: Of the intelligence classification loop when that happened.
- 39:49Speaker 1: All right, last thing, and then we'll have to say
- 39:50Speaker 1: goodbye because we're running out of time. But you mentioned
- 39:53Speaker 1: a little earlier, this struck me, you mentioned how easy
- 39:56Speaker 1: it is for China to spy because there's very few
- 39:59Speaker 1: American students in China, but there's thousands and thousands, tens
- 40:02Speaker 1: of thousands of Chinese students in America. And actually, it's
- 40:05Speaker 1: more than tens of thousands. Last I heard, I believe
- 40:07Speaker 1: President Trump talked about 600,000 Chinese students in America. And
- 40:11Speaker 1: he said he was going to let them keep going
- 40:13Speaker 1: because the university would go broke without them. And I'm
- 40:17Speaker 1: a very big pro-Trump guy. I'm a friend of President Trump.
- 40:21Speaker 1: He made a point of saying at the White House,
- 40:22Speaker 1: Wayne Root never waits a minute. He introduced me to
- 40:24Speaker 1: the crowd. He said, Wayne Root never waits a minute
- 40:26Speaker 1: saying negative things about me. And that's what I appreciate
- 40:29Speaker 1: about him. I'll never forget that about you. But I'm
- 40:30Speaker 1: about to say something negative about him. I'm allowed to
- 40:33Speaker 1: disagree with him once in a while. Why would we
- 40:35Speaker 1: let in 600,000 foreign students from China? They're almost likely
- 40:39Speaker 1: to be, almost all of them, if not most of them,
- 40:42Speaker 1: are likely to be enemies, spies working for China, bringing
- 40:47Speaker 1: back information. I don't want to let them in our country.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Don't you think that's a national security risk to let 600,000
- 40:53Speaker 1: Chinese students into America? I can't imagine that they let
- 40:58Speaker 1: them come here without them being recruited to be spies,
- 41:01Speaker 1: every one of them. Right.
- 41:03Speaker 7: Well, I don't make the rules. It would be different
- 41:05Speaker 7: maybe if I did. But here's the deal.
- 41:07Speaker 8: When they talk about how many Muslims of Islam is
- 41:10Speaker 8: a peaceful language and how many bad Muslims.
- 41:13Speaker 7: Are, what's the percentage? And if there's, you know, a.
- 41:15Speaker 8: Billion Muslims in the world, how many of those would
- 41:17Speaker 8: be in the U.S. would not be peaceful Muslims? How
- 41:20Speaker 8: many students could come over here and not be connected
- 41:22Speaker 8: with their services? when we worked for Eastern Bloc countries,
- 41:26Speaker 8: not just Russia, but all the other Warsaw Pact, anytime
- 41:29Speaker 8: a student came out, even priests, if they were remaining
- 41:32Speaker 8: Orthodox priests, and you came to be a priest in
- 41:34Speaker 8: a new church in Washington, for instance, you had to be,
- 41:37Speaker 8: if not recruited, you had to be at least a
- 41:39Speaker 8: person who would do their bidding. And if you came
- 41:42Speaker 8: out and you didn't do the bidding, you got sent
- 41:44Speaker 8: back or they punished your family. Your wife lost her
- 41:47Speaker 8: job back there. So it's the same deal here. The
- 41:50Speaker 8: number of Chinese students, they're not all quote, officers, not
- 41:54Speaker 8: all working for them. But it doesn't matter what the
- 41:56Speaker 8: percentage is. Whatever percentage is, the whole number is simply enormous.
- 42:00Speaker 8: And that's really a problem. You can knock it back
- 42:03Speaker 8: to half as many, and they would still have that many.
- 42:05Speaker 8: But they do commit espionage. They get secrets that don't
- 42:08Speaker 8: seem to be significant secrets many times. But someone back
- 42:11Speaker 8: there in Beijing is putting all the pieces of the
- 42:14Speaker 8: puzzle together, which greatly concerns me.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Yeah. And by the way, when you talk about numbers
- 42:18Speaker 1: like that, the number I've heard for years now is
- 42:21Speaker 1: when it comes to Muslims, about 20 percent of all
- 42:24Speaker 1: the Muslims in the world are radicalized and want to
- 42:26Speaker 1: kill us and want to be terrorists and like it
- 42:29Speaker 1: when Americans die, whether it's 20 percent or not. I
- 42:32Speaker 1: hear that's the number. Well, there's two billion Muslims in
- 42:34Speaker 1: the world. So that means there's 400 million Muslims that
- 42:37Speaker 1: want to kill us. That's a really big number. Even
- 42:40Speaker 1: if 80 percent are not bad people, that's a huge number,
- 42:44Speaker 1: a scary number. Right.
- 42:46Speaker 8: That's the problem with an open society. We want to
- 42:48Speaker 8: have the open society. And you have to figure out
- 42:50Speaker 8: how to filter out, how to keep many out. I
- 42:52Speaker 8: just think as a whole number, there's far too many.
- 42:54Speaker 8: But those who come out who they want to live
- 42:57Speaker 8: in the West, they want to be honest, decent Americans
- 42:59Speaker 8: like these, the World Cup fans that came from Scotland, Australia,
- 43:03Speaker 8: the Brits and anyplace else.
- 43:05Speaker 7: They want to be here. They want to love it here.
- 43:07Speaker 7: And that's a big deal.
- 43:09Speaker 8: I just wanted to show you this. This is the book,
- 43:11Speaker 8: A Traitor in the FBI, The Hunt for a Russian Mole.
- 43:14Speaker 8: It came out April 7th on Amazon. It sold out
- 43:17Speaker 8: the first day and was the number one for new
- 43:18Speaker 8: release for the rest of the month.
- 43:20Speaker 7: And it's doing pretty well.
- 43:22Speaker 8: But it is that story, how that story ended, resulting
- 43:25Speaker 8: in recruiting an intelligence person from the Soviet Union, the
- 43:30Speaker 8: former Soviet Union. And it turned out to be a
- 43:32Speaker 8: dynamic story.
- 43:33Speaker 7: You can write fiction, but this one was all true.
- 43:36Speaker 7: And I'm proud of it.
- 43:37Speaker 1: He's got great stories, a great patriot. He has really
- 43:39Speaker 1: bled for his country. Wayne Barnes, 29-year FBI agent. counterintelligence agent.
- 43:45Speaker 1: His book, A Traitor in the FBI, The Hunt for
- 43:48Speaker 1: a Russian Mole, a fascinating story. It's more fascinating than
- 43:52Speaker 1: even fiction. Real life, very often, more fascinating than fiction,
- 43:56Speaker 1: and Wayne's got the proof. Wayne Barnes, thank you for
- 43:59Speaker 1: hanging with us. My pleasure.
- 44:01Speaker 7: Thank you very much.
- 44:02Speaker 1: All right, the other Wayne. We've got lots of Waynes here.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Waynes are wild. We'll be right back. I'm Wayne Allyn Root.
- 44:06Speaker 1: This is War Zone Live. RootForAmerica.com is my website. You
- 44:10Speaker 1: can email me anytime, WayneRoot, at gmail.com. And coming up
- 44:13Speaker 1: in 15 minutes, I'll be a guest on Steve Bannon's show,
- 44:17Speaker 1: War Room. Steve Bannon's show coming up with Wayne Allyn Root.
- 44:20Speaker 1: We'll be right back. We'll be right back. All right,
- 44:32Speaker 1: way down the road, Dan Montano is with me. He's
- 44:34Speaker 1: the CEO of Zichogenesis Medicine, a biotech company developing medicines
- 44:39Speaker 1: to treat Parkinson's, type 2 diabetes, and even heart disease.
- 44:44Speaker 1: And now Zicha has a new breakthrough, exciting to potentially
- 44:49Speaker 1: reverse chronic pain. Dan, tell us about your breakthrough that
- 44:52Speaker 1: could lessen or eliminate the pain for people suffering from neuropathy,
- 44:56Speaker 1: back pain, or migraine headaches.
- 44:59Speaker 4: Very simple.
- 44:59Speaker 5: As we've been dosing people for those other indications, they
- 45:03Speaker 5: keep reporting to us the pain in their feet is gone.
- 45:05Speaker 5: The pain in their back is gone. Their migraines have stopped.
- 45:08Speaker 5: So as we started digging into it more over the
- 45:10Speaker 5: last couple of months, we've discovered that nerve regeneration is
- 45:14Speaker 5: something our molecule can treat. And we're starting to see
- 45:17Speaker 5: people that we dose on Monday and Thursday, their back
- 45:20Speaker 5: pain's gone. Their migraines have stopped. So we're now taking
- 45:24Speaker 5: that to a medical research study here in Las Vegas.
- 45:27Speaker 1: A big one for me would be neuropathy foot pain,
- 45:30Speaker 1: because I have several friends who have lived wonderful lives, successful,
- 45:33Speaker 1: they're CEOs, and they could barely walk anymore because of neuropathy.
- 45:37Speaker 1: What have you done for that?
- 45:39Speaker 5: Well, the people we've dosed for their diabetes have reported
- 45:43Speaker 5: after a week or two that they don't have the
- 45:44Speaker 5: pain anymore. So we're going to run with that and
- 45:47Speaker 5: find out how much of that is true and how much.
- 45:49Speaker 4: Of that we can repeat.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Amazing. What are your next steps?
- 45:54Speaker 5: Well, we're going to be getting a clearance here in
- 45:55Speaker 5: Las Vegas to do a medical research study. We'll be
- 45:58Speaker 5: doing it primarily for back pain, neuropathy, and headaches, migraine
- 46:03Speaker 5: headaches primarily. We'll have that approval probably in 30 to
- 46:05Speaker 5: 60 days. And start dosing people here in Vegas.
- 46:10Speaker 1: And you're looking for test patients and investors, correct?
- 46:14Speaker 5: Same as with the type 2 diabetes. As you know, Wayne,
- 46:17Speaker 5: you guys generate a lot of subjects for us to test.
- 46:21Speaker 5: and you also would produce a lot of investors for it.
- 46:23Speaker 5: So we're looking for the same. Chronic back pain is everywhere.
- 46:27Speaker 5: People have got it, it's serious, and we've been able
- 46:29Speaker 5: to alleviate it.
- 46:30Speaker 4: I'm excited.
- 46:31Speaker 5: This could be the biggest thing around.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Dan, why is your approach to treating pain different?
- 46:37Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we don't treat the, we don't treat,
- 46:40Speaker 5: we don't camouflage the pain. We treat the nerve that
- 46:43Speaker 5: is sick. We heal the nerves. With this white paper,
- 46:47Speaker 5: which is on the website, cure war.com is phenomenal everybody
- 46:52Speaker 5: should be downloading that and reading this like a science
- 46:54Speaker 5: fiction novel on how your nerves regenerate that's how we
- 46:58Speaker 5: do it.
- 46:59Speaker 1: On the nerves dan montano is the ceo of zcha
- 47:03Speaker 1: genesis medicine the website cure-war.com looking for test subjects and
- 47:09Speaker 1: investors cure-war.com All right. Wayne Allyn Root. You know, one
- 47:51Speaker 1: of my big arguments against illegal immigration is that if
- 47:55Speaker 1: they're allowed to break the law, then you and I
- 47:57Speaker 1: are allowed to break the law. You and I should
- 47:59Speaker 1: be able to pick any law that we want. And
- 48:01Speaker 1: why limit it to one? But, you know, let's make
- 48:03Speaker 1: it reasonable. We should all pick one law, every one
- 48:06Speaker 1: of us, and we're allowed to break it whenever we want.
- 48:07Speaker 1: If we don't believe in a law, we can break it.
- 48:09Speaker 1: And I personally don't believe in income taxes. You know,
- 48:13Speaker 1: over the years, I've paid the IRS millions of dollars.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Last year, I paid them well over $ 100, 000, probably closer
- 48:19Speaker 1: to $ 200, 000. And over the years, I've paid them millions
- 48:22Speaker 1: of dollars. Shouldn't I just be able to say, F it.
- 48:25Speaker 1: I don't know the IRS or anything. Why should I
- 48:27Speaker 1: follow the law? Illegal aliens don't follow the law. Why
- 48:30Speaker 1: should I follow the law? Why should any of us?
- 48:33Speaker 1: Why can't I drive 100 miles an hour? Because I
- 48:37Speaker 1: don't have to follow laws. Screw the police. Screw the
- 48:40Speaker 1: highway patrol. Isn't that what we should say? If you
- 48:43Speaker 1: don't think we should say it, then you can't argue logically.
- 48:48Speaker 1: that most illegal aliens are not criminals, because some of
- 48:51Speaker 1: them commit crimes. Those are criminals. Okay, I'll let you
- 48:54Speaker 1: deport them. But the rest of them should stay because
- 48:56Speaker 1: they're good, honest people just trying to better their lives. No,
- 48:59Speaker 1: they're not. You can't just let someone decide to follow
- 49:04Speaker 1: any law they want to and to not follow whichever
- 49:07Speaker 1: ones they don't want. If they can do it, then
- 49:10Speaker 1: I can do it. And pretty soon the whole country
- 49:12Speaker 1: will stop paying taxes and the whole country will stop
- 49:14Speaker 1: driving at 60 miles an hour. They'll drive at a
- 49:17Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour and everyone will do whatever they
- 49:20Speaker 1: want to do. And I guess that is what Democrats want,
- 49:24Speaker 1: because here's a good example. Here's an elected lawmaker. Where
- 49:28Speaker 1: is this? This is in, in Massachusetts, I guess, right? Oh,
- 49:31Speaker 1: New Hampshire, a Democrat, New Hampshire lawmaker, uh, She's a
- 49:36Speaker 1: lead foot driver. She's making the outrageous claim. She was
- 49:40Speaker 1: clocked at 107 miles an hour. And by the way,
- 49:44Speaker 1: I'm a speeder, right? I've been a speeder my whole life.
- 49:46Speaker 1: I always go above the speed limit. So I'm going
- 49:48Speaker 1: with the traffic. I'm not going 107. Everyone on the
- 49:51Speaker 1: road in Vegas goes 85, 80 in the slow lane
- 49:55Speaker 1: and 85 in the fast lane. And I'm always in
- 49:57Speaker 1: the fast lane going 85 with everybody else. But she's
- 50:00Speaker 1: going 107. And even though I'm rationalizing my driving 85,
- 50:05Speaker 1: and I always drive nice sports cars, I've had Aston Martins,
- 50:08Speaker 1: I've had Maseratis, I've had Porsches, I've had Mercedes, BMWs,
- 50:13Speaker 1: you name it. Nicest cars you could ever drive, and
- 50:16Speaker 1: I've had them all. And I drive fast. They're meant
- 50:20Speaker 1: to drive fast, right? But if you get caught, you do,
- 50:23Speaker 1: you did commit a crime. And you have to pay
- 50:25Speaker 1: the fine. And the policeman has every right to pull
- 50:28Speaker 1: you over. And I never try and make excuses. I'm like, yeah,
- 50:31Speaker 1: I was speeding. Okay, give me the ticket. I don't
- 50:34Speaker 1: try and make an excuse that I'm different than everybody else.
- 50:38Speaker 1: You've got to obey the law. And if you don't
- 50:40Speaker 1: obey the law, you've got to pay the price. And
- 50:42Speaker 1: if you're a foreigner and you broke into the United States,
- 50:44Speaker 1: you've got to get kicked out. But here's a Democrat
- 50:47Speaker 1: lawmaker clocked at 107 miles an hour, and she claims
- 50:50Speaker 1: she's immune from speeding laws. I never heard that one before.
- 50:54Speaker 1: I never tried to make that case. Ever in my
- 50:57Speaker 1: whole life, a New Hampshire state lawmaker clocked at driving
- 51:01Speaker 1: 107 miles per hour, accused of driving 92 miles per
- 51:04Speaker 1: hour on the same highway a year later, has been
- 51:08Speaker 1: making an audacious argument to avoid legal consequences for speeding.
- 51:13Speaker 1: She's arguing that the state constitution shields her from being
- 51:17Speaker 1: stopped by police while traveling to or from a legislative session.
- 51:21Speaker 1: She's a legislative legislature. She's a legislator in the state legislature.
- 51:27Speaker 1: And she's arguing that when you're driving to or from
- 51:30Speaker 1: a legislative session in the legislature, that you're not you
- 51:36Speaker 1: can't be stopped by the police. State Representative Ellen Reed,
- 51:41Speaker 1: two separate speeding cases, 92 miles an hour and 107
- 51:44Speaker 1: miles per hour, claims the sheriff's deputies who stopped her
- 51:48Speaker 1: on Interstate 93 had no authority to detain or charge
- 51:52Speaker 1: her since the state's constitution says lawmakers cannot be arrested
- 51:58Speaker 1: while traveling to or from the legislature. She has repeatedly
- 52:02Speaker 1: asserted legislative privilege. Speaking of Democrats talking about white privilege,
- 52:08Speaker 1: legislative privilege to ask the charges stemming from two traffic
- 52:12Speaker 1: stops be dismissed on account of the office she holds.
- 52:15Speaker 1: She pressed her case all the way to New Hampshire
- 52:17Speaker 1: Supreme Court, which declined in June to hear her appeal
- 52:20Speaker 1: at this stage. So it wasn't an emergency. It wasn't
- 52:25Speaker 1: life or death. She was just driving to the legislature.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Maybe I would guess she wasn't even doing that. You know,
- 52:31Speaker 1: sometimes policemen drive around. to just get groceries to their
- 52:34Speaker 1: family or they drive home and they put the siren on,
- 52:36Speaker 1: the lights on. She may not have even been driving
- 52:38Speaker 1: to the legislature. Who knows? But in either case, I
- 52:42Speaker 1: must say that it makes a great argument in the
- 52:45Speaker 1: legal alien world, right? I just keep saying, if they
- 52:48Speaker 1: can avoid the law, if they don't like the law,
- 52:50Speaker 1: they can break it. And you think it's okay in
- 52:52Speaker 1: the ACL. You think it's okay and the Democratic Party
- 52:54Speaker 1: thinks it's okay. And I'm writing that column. I'll have
- 52:57Speaker 1: that out in the next week. That all of us
- 52:59Speaker 1: can choose whatever law we don't like and break it.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I give everyone one law. Break whatever you want. Maybe
- 53:04Speaker 1: it's murder. Maybe it's rape. Whatever you want. You don't
- 53:07Speaker 1: believe in it. You're allowed to break it. If the
- 53:10Speaker 1: illegals can do it, we can do it. And probably
- 53:13Speaker 1: the most important one is the IRS. We should all
- 53:16Speaker 1: just stop paying taxes. Screw the government. You want to
- 53:20Speaker 1: see how far that goes? You see if that works
- 53:21Speaker 1: or not? Amiolife.com is the sponsor of this show. I

- 54:30Speaker 5: God bless.
- 54:45Speaker 1: All right, Wayne Allyn Roots, joining me is Silvano DiGenova,
- 54:49Speaker 1: owner of Tangible Investments. Sil, I've known you forever, and
- 54:53Speaker 1: I've been buying gold forever and silver forever and rare
- 54:56Speaker 1: coins forever. It's great to have you with us. With
- 54:59Speaker 1: the Iran deal done, how do you see the economy
- 55:01Speaker 1: and inflation moving in the near future?
- 55:05Speaker 9: Well, nothing's really changed.
- 55:07Speaker 4: We're in an.
- 55:08Speaker 9: inflationary environment. The government deficits are through the roof. The
- 55:13Speaker 9: reality is that oil prices may come down, but inflation
- 55:19Speaker 9: is going to be with us long term.
- 55:22Speaker 1: How does inflation impact the demand for gold and silver?
- 55:27Speaker 9: Well, the more inflation there is, the more demand there's
- 55:31Speaker 9: going to be for gold. People want to get away
- 55:33Speaker 9: from their paper assets. They want to hold something that
- 55:36Speaker 9: is going to hold its value or appreciate in an
- 55:39Speaker 9: inflationary times. And gold and hard assets are the only
- 55:43Speaker 9: real thing that are an insurance policy against this type
- 55:48Speaker 9: of inflation. And the reality is we may still have
- 55:52Speaker 9: rampant inflation. And we saw that under a different administration.
- 55:58Speaker 9: And this one's doing OK to try and buckle it down.
- 56:02Speaker 9: But long term, government spending is not going to stop.
- 56:06Speaker 9: World government spending is not going to stop. And that's
- 56:09Speaker 9: going to be good for gold and hard assets into
- 56:13Speaker 9: perpetuity at this point.
- 56:15Speaker 1: And world debt is not going to stop. And America's
- 56:17Speaker 1: debt is not going to stop. It just keeps getting
- 56:19Speaker 1: higher and higher. How should buyers of gold and silver
- 56:23Speaker 1: know which gold products to buy and what to avoid?
- 56:27Speaker 9: Well, they certainly don't want to buy products that trade
- 56:31Speaker 9: or are being offered at big premiums. If you're going
- 56:35Speaker 9: to buy gold as your hedge, you want it as
- 56:38Speaker 9: close to the spot price of gold as possible. Right now,
- 56:43Speaker 9: we have an anomaly. You can actually buy some fairly
- 56:47Speaker 9: rare coins at no premium or very little premium to
- 56:52Speaker 9: just bullion coins, like $ 20 gold pieces that are 100
- 56:54Speaker 9: years old. We're selling them at $ 50 over the melt price.
- 57:03Speaker 1: Or you can buy.
- 57:05Speaker 9: Bullion coins from us at a very small premium over
- 57:09Speaker 9: the spot price. There's a lot of gimmicks out there,
- 57:13Speaker 9: a lot of companies selling certified gold coins at big
- 57:17Speaker 9: premiums and saying they're.
- 57:18Speaker 7: A gold investment.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Well, they're not.
- 57:21Speaker 9: I mean, you're going to have to overcome their markup.
- 57:24Speaker 1: If you want gold, silver, precious metals, or rare coins
- 57:27Speaker 1: from a real firm with real credibility and honest pricing,
- 57:30Speaker 1: call Sill. Tangible Investments is Silvana's company. 888-330-4351. Or go
- 57:37Speaker 1: to the website they created just for my fans. Rootforgold.com.

- 59:15Speaker 1: War Zone Live. We're the official podcast of the Gateway Pundit. And, Odo,
- 59:20Speaker 1: we have a great guest for you today because still,
- 59:22Speaker 1: in the end, illegal immigration and boys and girls schools
- 59:26Speaker 1: and transgender this and transgender that, the open border, there's
- 59:30Speaker 1: a million issues in the world. But to me, the
- 59:32Speaker 1: number one issue is making money. I'm like Trump, man,
- 59:35Speaker 1: making monies in my DNA, making monies in my blood.
- 59:38Speaker 1: I'm always looking for ways to make more money. In
- 59:41Speaker 1: the end, that makes an awful lot of problems go
- 59:44Speaker 1: away for the nation and for the middle class and
- 59:46Speaker 1: for the people of this country. Making money has got
- 59:49Speaker 1: to be our number one goal. Economy, jobs, GDP, that's
- 59:54Speaker 1: what really matters. So I've got a great guest for
- 59:57Speaker 1: you to talk about it. Lost Soldier Oil and Gas
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: has been the sponsor of this show for almost a
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: year now. Do you realize? It's been about a year
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: that they've been the sponsor of my podcast, my national
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: radio show, my national TV show on Real America's Voice
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: TV network. And it's really an amazing property. It took
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: 40 years to piece together this 40,000-acre giant gas discovery,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: estimated to contain up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: making it one of the largest natural gas discoveries in
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountain region in the last 30 years. And
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: they have a management forecast projecting just the first 25
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: wells to produce 400 million cubic feet per day of
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: natural gas. And by 2035, targeted production of over a
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: billion cubic feet a day. An amazing forecast. project. And
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I invested in this project not once but twice last year.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: I intend to invest a third time this year. And
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: I want to introduce you to the project. And I
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: want to introduce you to the guy who is the
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: CEO and the chairman of the board. who invented this project,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Mark Bruner, CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, the website,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: by the way, lostsoldier.com, lostsoldier.com. Mark, welcome to the show.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: I haven't had you on in quite a while. You've
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: been running around the world raising money. You've been in Europe.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: You've been in Switzerland. You've been in Saudi Arabia. You're
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: all over the world. You're an amazing guy. You're always traveling.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: You're always raising money. You're always running your company. You
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: are a busy man like me that's hard to nail
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: you down, so it's great to have you back on
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: the show.
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: So wonderful to be with you again, Wayne. Good to
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: see you.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: All right. So you're a second generation oil and gas man.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: You're actually a second generation oil and gas legend. Your
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: previous public companies, Penteco Energy, produced about 100 to 1
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: for every dollar invested. Investors and stockholders made $ 100. And
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Ultra Petroleum, spectacular return for investors. That one was 1,000
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: to 1 for every dollar invested. People got back 1,000.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: It was one of the biggest stocks of the entire
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: decade of, I think it was the 90s, right? It
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: was the go-go 90s. And that stock was one of
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: the highest flyers on Wall Street. So Lost Soldier is
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing company. project. But tell people why it's
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: so amazing, why I guess you think it's even bigger,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: biggest to your career that would make it bigger than
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Penteco or Ultra Petroleum. Ultra Petroleum, a thousand to one
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: return on investment. And you say this is the biggest
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: to your career. What do you base that on?
- 1:02:33Speaker 6: Well, when I compare it with Ultra Petroleum, it has
- 1:02:36Speaker 6: a sequence of regionally pervasive sands where we can see
- 1:02:42Speaker 6: based on the seismic interpretation, we can drill up to
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: 500 horizontal wells so far that we can see. And
- 1:02:50Speaker 6: the other wonderful thing is that no one can drill
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: this for 50 years. We've known where all the basins
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: are for 50 years. All of them have been drilled,
- 1:02:59Speaker 6: as far as I know, except this one. because there's
- 1:03:02Speaker 6: a uranium mine out here that was whenever Three Mile
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: Island melted down in the early 80s. They started reclamating
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: this mine. Kennecott did it three years ago. They finished
- 1:03:12Speaker 6: the reclamation. I got a call.
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: I drilled it.
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: And as they say, the rest is history. Certainly the
- 1:03:18Speaker 6: largest gas field I've ever found. Right now, if you
- 1:03:22Speaker 6: compare it with some of the other basins, there's thousands
- 1:03:25Speaker 6: of feet of layer cake type, regionally pervasive, overpressured sands.
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: It's very much like the Haynesville and the Utica.
- 1:03:33Speaker 6: If any of you have heard of those plays, you've
- 1:03:35Speaker 6: probably heard of a guy named Jerry Jones that owned
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: the Dallas Cowboys. That's like his number one play now,
- 1:03:41Speaker 6: the Western Haynesville. And I would encourage everyone to compare
- 1:03:46Speaker 6: what we have with the Western Haynesville because I think
- 1:03:48Speaker 6: it certainly is.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: Comparable. The difference here is we're the only operator. No
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: one else is in here. It's just us.
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: We made the discovery ourselves. We have legacy infrastructure that is.
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: On its last rose. We can tie into all that
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: legacy infrastructure.
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: We're laying a five-mile line to start producing gas this year.
- 1:04:09Speaker 6: And the plan is when we finish this private placement
- 1:04:13Speaker 6: to be producing about 400, 500 million cubic feet a day,
- 1:04:18Speaker 6: 300 million a year in cash flow within 36 months.
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: And then we plan to build a 42 to 46
- 1:04:23Speaker 6: line 50 miles away to the trading hook one center,
- 1:04:30Speaker 6: about 10 times that. There's another guy named Warren Buffett
- 1:04:33Speaker 6: that's looping on that line that's going out to California.
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: So, you know, as you all know, he's no fool.
- 1:04:39Speaker 6: So he's going to send all his gas out to
- 1:04:43Speaker 6: Pacific Corp and the West Coast.
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: So we hope to be able to do that, too. Anyway,
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: that's pretty much a summary, Wayne.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: So give me some new updates, because remember, I'm one
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: of your investors. I invested not once but twice last year.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: Very big, healthy investments, by the way, from Wayne Root.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: And I plan to invest again this year. What's happened
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: between the last time we spoke on TV, which is probably...
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: six months ago, although you've had your president of your
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: company and your COO talking to me on TV as well.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: But you were busy traveling. Give us some updates from
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: last year. What exciting things have happened? And tell me
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: what will happen this year in the year 2026.
- 1:05:21Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, one of the things that
- 1:05:26Speaker 6: we've done is that you're always looking for permits to drill.
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: You're always looking for right of ways and other things
- 1:05:33Speaker 6: in order to be able to lay the pipelines.
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: All this is completed, okay? It's finished, okay?
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: And so we're going to start building this pipeline sometime
- 1:05:44Speaker 6: in July when what we call the winter stips are
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: off and we can get in here and lay that pipeline.
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: We think it'll take, you know, 45 to 60 days
- 1:05:52Speaker 6: to finish the pipeline.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: Then we'll be producing gas, okay?
- 1:05:56Speaker 6: So that's going to happen this year. We're very excited
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: about that. The other thing that I think is important
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: is that we have a deal with the federal government.
- 1:06:06Speaker 6: All the leases that we have, they're federal and state leases,
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: they've been put into what we call a federal unit,
- 1:06:12Speaker 6: which means that it's all those different leases, we have
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: like 56 of them, they're one lease now. It means
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: that we can orderly develop this gas field with the
- 1:06:24Speaker 6: cooperation of the federal government. They've stamped the deposit commercial.
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: So all those things have happened. And, yeah, we think
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: we're going to be able to do that. We're hoping
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: to be able to drill some of the deep overpressure horizontals.
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: This year, at least one, maybe two of those.
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: We're anticipating 50 million a day plus wells. They're going
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: to be expensive. You know, they're $ 20 million to $ 30
- 1:06:48Speaker 6: million apiece. But when you're producing those kind of rates,
- 1:06:53Speaker 6: they pay out very quickly.
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: And so, you know, possibly within a year.
- 1:06:57Speaker 6: So something, you know, the field next to us, Wall
- 1:07:00Speaker 6: Soldier Field, which I named my company after, that field's
- 1:07:03Speaker 6: been producing for over 100 years, produced 450 million.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: Barrels, still does 3,500 barrels a day. And so....
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: Some of the deeper stuff that we're looking for and
- 1:07:13Speaker 6: we think we'll find, we'll find some of those this
- 1:07:16Speaker 6: year as well. So very exciting times for us. And
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: by the way, we also drill more, not drilling for ourselves, Enbridge,
- 1:07:26Speaker 6: which transports about 30% of the natural gas to the
- 1:07:29Speaker 6: United States. And actually, we're entering into a 23 oil
- 1:07:33Speaker 6: contract with them. I think that would speak very highly
- 1:07:37Speaker 6: of our drilling people and their abilities. And, you know,
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: we're very excited about that relationship with them as well.
- 1:07:43Speaker 6: So we're going to be having revenue out of our
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: drilling company, out of our pipeline company, out of our
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: working interests. And those people that invest will also enjoy
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: a package of overriding royalty as well.
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: So.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: And don't forget, the thing that got me was, you know,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: I have seen a lot of potential in my life.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: I think this is the most potential I've ever seen.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: But potential is one thing that doesn't mean you ever deliver.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: You have a track record that's amazing. That's great. Pinnacle,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Ultra Petroleum, very impressive. That was a decision pusher for me.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: And then... Of course, what else can you invest in?
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Like if I put $ 100, 000 into stocks and those stocks
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: happen to go down, I would get no tax break.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: It would do nothing for me until the day they
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: went back up. You get a $ 3, 000 deduction on stock
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: losses in a given year. But with oil and gas,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: it's the most generous investment tax deduction you can ever get.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: It's 70% right off the first year you invest. So
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: if I put $ 100, 000 in, I get a $ 70, 000 tax
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: deduction on my tax return in the first year and
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: the other 30 over the next, I think, three years, right?
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: So that's pretty impressive.
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: There's been a change. It's 100% now, not 70% under
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: the Trump tax bills. But that's for.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: This year coming up to 2026. I invested in 2025,
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: so I have to go by the old rules, I assume.
- 1:09:05Speaker 6: I think the other thing, too, is that the viewers
- 1:09:08Speaker 6: need to realize that we don't have to process.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: Any of this.
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: This is 93% methane.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: CH4, so no processing.
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: We don't have to build any plants. When we put
- 1:09:19Speaker 6: it into the pipeline, it can go directly into homes.
- 1:09:22Speaker 6: We have people contacting us about putting in data centers.
- 1:09:25Speaker 6: There's a lot of options here that we're going to
- 1:09:27Speaker 6: be looking at, Wayne. So we'll keep you updated as
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: things happen this year.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: All right. Data centers would seem to be the way
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: to go. That's all anyone talks about now is data
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: centers and how much they they use so much energy. Well,
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: you've got the energy for them. So it would seem
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: like would be a profit center. Last thing for accredited
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: investors want to learn more and get involved. They go
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: to Lost Soldier dot com and then what happens? Someone
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: gets back to them.

- 1:09:57Speaker 6: the information.
- 1:09:58Speaker 4: We'll answer their questions. And, you know, we look at
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: all our investors as a family.
- 1:10:03Speaker 6: The Lost Soldier family is quite what we need to say.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Well, with my big investment, I'd better be a good
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: family member. I'd better be loved. Better be loved, Mark.
