In-depth Interview: Senator Ron Johnson

[26:57 – 37:55]
Topics covered include:

Government Shutdown & Entitlements
[27:02 – 31:05]

• Johnson asserts Democrats refuse to negotiate, insisting on increased spending and enhanced subsidies.
• He describes bipartisan discussions to ensure federal workers are paid during the shutdown, but no progress toward reopening.

“We've conceded and we'll pay not only the people that are being forced to work, but because of the 2019 Government Fair Treatment act, we're going to pay even furloughed workers once this all ends.”
– Sen. Ron Johnson [27:20]

• Root warns of potential nationwide chaos if food stamps are discontinued due to the shutdown (“42 million Americans on food stamps”).

“...it could lead to a lot of anarchy and a lot of crime and a lot of muggings and a lot of robberies...”
– Wayne Allyn Root [30:52]

Food Stamps, Illegal Aliens, Dependency
[31:06 – 33:16]

• Johnson: Food stamps have swelled due to Obama-era eligibility changes; now about 12% of Americans are enrolled, which he calls a “metric of failure.”
• Both express outrage over “illegal aliens on food stamps and Medicaid.”
• Johnson alleges misuse and fraud (trading SNAP benefits for drugs).

“We want to help people who can't help themselves. We don't want anybody to starve. 12 and a half percent of the American population should not be on food stamps. Something is wrong with that equation.”
– Sen. Ron Johnson [32:54]

Surveillance and Election Integrity

– Sen. Ron Johnson [36:47]

Welcome to the Wayne Stream media. I'm the loudest magamouth in the usa, coming to you from Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. I'm the hardest working man in showbiz, certainly conservative showbiz with the fastest show in history, tv. This show is conservative patriotic talk on steroids square to the thousandth power. Now, a quick tribute to my dog, Buddy. Not Bubba, the giant hundred pound goldendoodle that you've seen on this show several times. But Buddy was my small dog, a real lover boy. My wife Cindy rescued him 13 years ago from a shelter. He'd been abused. She gave him 13 wonderful years of love and attention. And I came along nine years ago and we became best buds. For the past year, Buddy laid on the floor of my TV studio in his last days. He kept hanging on and hanging on, fighting to stay alive. And he just slept on the floor of my TV studio and listened to every word of my TV shows, radio shows and podcasts. He became a MAGA dog. But he passed on last night. In Cindy's arms, literally looking into Cindy's eyes. And he died on the spot in her arms. He was 14 years old. We loved Buddy so much. He'll be greatly missed by me and Cindy and Petar, my director, sitting next to me. Buddy love Patar at the end of his life. He hated people picking him up and carrying him down the stairs, but he had to be carried down the stairs. He loved when Petar carried him down the stairs, but he's gone. But we will always love you. We will never forget you. All right, reminder my command central rootforamerica.com at the top are four tabs.

We just joined the lineup at Patriot TV, two hours a day of war at Patriot TV daily at 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific War Zone at Patriot TV, the Gateway Pundit and Rumble, where you just type in Wayne Root. Wayne Allyn Root or war zone always. 6pm Eastern, Monday through Friday. All right, it's time for my opening commentary, and it is a very important one to me, a very personal one to me. It's titled I was banned, shadow banned, censored and silenced by media, social media, the US Government and Stanford University for telling the truth and trying to save lives. Today, I filed a $100 million lawsuit against all of them. So I was the first mainstream TV and radio host in America to warn my viewers and listeners to run away from the COVID vaccine like it was a hand grenade. And then the UN American censorship started. From the first day the vaccine was available, I told my viewers, listeners and readers to exercise their right of free will. I warned that I would never buy a car in its first year of production. So why would I want to become the first to take an experimental for emergency use only vaccine when no one had any idea what it does to you. I warned that taking the experimental Covid jab was like volunteering to be a crash test dummy. Who would be dumb enough to agree to do that right at that point? This was just my gut instinct and common sense opinion and I made that clear. Then I saw the initial data which the media refused to report. I became the first mainstream TV and radio host in America to warn about the disastrous results of the CDC's own VAERS reporting system. It's called VAERS because it's vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system. This was the ultimate tell. The government's own reporting system, considered the gold standard by doctors for decades, was showing massive amounts of injuries and death in the first months of the COVID vaccine. More deaths than all other vaccines in history by a mile. And soon I became the first mainstream TV and radio host to warn that the FDA and Big Pharma was desperately trying to keep the COVID vaccine trial Results sealed for 75 years. I wonder why that is until all of us alive today would be dead from old age. I asked at the time who would be dumb enough to ever buy a product from a company that wanted the trials of that product sealed for 75 years? And then the data started rolling in. The actual data I reported on studies from around the world showing all time record excess deaths. Heart attacks, myocarditis, strokes, blood clots, neurological injuries, immune system damage, and the stunning explosion of stage four turbo cancer. All of which appeared at the exact same time as the COVID vaccine. What a coincidence. And then I made two guesses that turned out to be 100% correct. I made an educated guess that media around the United States and around the globe was being bribed into silence by billions of dollars of Big Pharma advertising. If they questioned the COVID vaccine and Big Pharma pulled their advertising, which they threatened to do, half the newsroom would lose their jobs. I also made an educated guess that doctors across America were making a fortune from fees and bonuses paid by Big Pharma for pushing the COVID vaccine on their unsuspecting patients. All of my educated guesses have since been proven 100% true. And at the very moment that I was reporting and warning about all of this, a funny thing started happening to me. I was banned, shadow banned, censored and silenced by media and social media around the globe. Suddenly no one could hear my words. Suddenly my audience stopped growing. Suddenly there were no comments or likes under My social media posts when previously my posts reached millions. Suddenly I was blackballed by the media. Suddenly my career was going in reverse. Suddenly I was being demonized and slandered as a conspiracy theorist and a spreader of misinformation. All for the sin of simply speaking my opinions and reporting the truth in order to save lives and keep you, my fans, healthy and alive. I turned out to be 100% correct about everything. But whether I was right or wrong isn't the issue. It really doesn't matter. The crux of the issue is what happened to me was clearly a violation of my civil rights and a violation of my right to free speech in America, where free speech is guaranteed by the US Constitution. And of course, what's most telling is this only happened to one side. No one ever silenced the people or organizations who were the real spreaders. Who of lies and fraud and misinformation. The government, the cdc, the who, the National Institute of Health, the fda, the American Medical association, doctors, the mainstream media and social media. Even though their censorship and misinformation and cover up of facts and outright lies got millions of people in America and around the globe killed and injured. Well, they all made billions of dollars off the COVID vaccine. You know what you call that? It's called a massive conflict of interest. Big enough to sail a cruise ship through. So I've decided to fight. I'm coming after the evildoers. On Monday afternoon, this past Monday, 1027 25, my Los Angeles based law firm Lurie and associates filed a $100 million lawsuit versus Stanford University and the Stanford Board of Trustees who I believe coordinated in conspiracy with the government to censor me and many others to prevent our opinions from being heard. And the social media companies who aided and abetted them. Why were they so afraid of my opinions? Could it be because I was right? Could it be because if the truth got out, their jig was up and billions of dollars were on the line? Here's the list of just some of the major conspirators and that we have sued for $100 million. Stanford University. The Stanford Board of Trustees made up platforms representing Facebook and Instagram, X Corporation representing X, formerly Twitter, Google LLC representing Google and YouTube and TikTok Incorporated. For the moment, the US government is not included in my lawsuit. But after analyzing discovery from all these companies, with all these conspirators, we expect to find the specific government agencies and government officials who ordered, coordinated, intimidated and paid for this criminal censorship. And once those names are uncovered, they will be added to this lawsuit. My advice to them, don't sleep soundly. We're coming after you. You will pay dearly. This was an American tragedy. What the censorship industrial complex did to me was un American. It's time to fight back. It's time to make these organizations and individuals who conspired to silence opposing opinions, ban the truth and forbid debate pay dearly. It's time to establish forevermore that free speech is the ultimate American right that can never again be violated for any reason. There is no compromise. There is no negotiation about free speech. I will fight the battle. But my hope is my courage in the face of tyranny will inspire millions of others to follow suit. So this shocking American tragedy will never happen again. I want to make it clear these are my opinions and only my opinions in a nation that protects opinions with the first amendment of the United States Constitution. All right. Sponsor of this show, energized Health. That's my whole life. It's about health. It's about keeping you healthy so we can fight the battle and protect America, make America great again, and protect capitalism and protect the middle class. So I joined the energized Health program in November of 2020. So today is November 1st. You know what that means? Five year anniversary. And it changed my life and my career. I lost 25 pounds of fat.

I gained energy, intercellular hydration, got in the best shape of my life, became the Popeye, the sailor man of conservative talk. And I gained four new TV shows past the age of 61. I don't think that's ever happened in TV history. And I know why it happened. The fat melted off my face. Literally. I'm 64 years old. I look younger now than I did at age 50. Put those photos on the screen. Me at age 50 with Steve Forbes in Vegas at Freedom Festival. Me in the gym today. That's impossible. Nobody reverse ages over 15 years.

With Downy Unstoppable, you just toss wash. Wow. For all day freshness.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

All right. The root, the root. The roots on fire. It's time for America's top 10 countdown to begin. Number 10. All right. Well, number 10 could wind up as number one by the time the weekend is over. Just as I started taping this show, word broke that a US Military attack on Venezuela is days or even hours away. It appears President Trump has ordered airstrikes on drug cartel targets on Venezuelan soil. We may be at war with Venezuela, which is no longer a country, but rather a narco terrorist state. One big cartel. President Trump is the only politician or president of my lifetime to ever actually try to stop the drug trafficking that is killing over 100,000Americans a year just from fentanyl alone. This must be stopped. Count on President Trump to end this war on America's youth and minority inner city neighborhoods. Thank you, President Trump. Countdown number nine. Another story that has the potential to be number one by the end of the weekend, depending on how things break. As I started taping the show, we got word that Cash Patel and his FBI have thwarted a potential Halloween terrorist attack in Michigan. Officials say these terrorists planned a mass casualty terror attack during Halloween festivities, meaning they plan on killing little children. It was clearly Muslim terror related because arrests were made in Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim majority city. And initial reports say this was ISIS related. Only months ago, the FBI thwarted another potential terror attack on a U.S. army base in suburban Detroit, Michigan, again by ISIS. Michigan and in particular Dearborn are the epicenter of radical Islamic terrorist groups inside the usa. This is our biggest threat in America. Islamic terror attacks and yet at this moment, New York City is about to elect a communist radical Muslim who hangs around and pals around with terrorists. More on that story in my number one story today, coming up in the Final four COUNTDOWN eight. Well, speaking of Zoran Mandami's radical Muslim takeover of New York City and the very real threat of Muslim terror attacks across the country, check out the hotbed of Islamic radicalism, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Obama welcomed in hundreds of thousands of Somalians, sent them all to Minneapolis and it is now a Muslim dominated Democrat city with the Muslim call to prayer loudspeakers running all day long. Did you know that the first city inside America to allow this disgrace, the Muslim call to prayer on loudspeakers no matter where you walk. Now look who's running for mayor of Minneapolis. Let me read it to you. An uproar ensues as footage emerges showing the Marxist Muslim candidate for Minneapolis mayor pledging loyalty to Somalia in a foreign language, speaking Somali while waving the Somalian flag. Can you even imagine how bad things have gotten? Countdown number seven, more trouble making traders inside America. I'm talking about blm, Black Lives Matter, another violent communist anarchist movement meant to cause riots and looting and burning and crisis inside America and bring down our country. Some breaking news stories. The Justice Department launches an investigation into whether Black Lives Matter leaders defrauded donors. What do you think? Come on. We already know. We already know that many of the leaders took the money and they bought mansions and they bought fancy cars and they took fancy vacations. We also know, by the way, this has been the biggest bugaboo by me. Black Lives Matter only cared of a white cop, shot a black criminal. They never cared about every second of everyday black criminals killing black citizens on the streets of Chicago and Baltimore and Detroit and Memphis and Cleveland and New Orleans and every other city in America with black inner cities. The people are innocent, nice black people are being killed by black criminals and BLM never cared. They only care of a white policeman kill someone black. Other parts of this story, Venezuelan narco regime provided over $20 billion to fund Black Lives Matter. It now appears so. It was being funded by foreign interests who communist interests who want to bring down the United States of America. This was a communist party color revolution all built around Black Lives Matter. And finally, a bombshell report shows foreign charities dumped billions into US Political advocacy groups to erode democracy. These were international foundations from the United Kingdom, Denmark and Switzerland targeting American nonprofits. The reality is all of these anarchists are being funded from from outside the United States. Whether it's China. Whether it's communists, whether it's Muslim radicals, they're trying to bring down our country. Countdown number six, how dangerous, deranged and violent is the left in America today? Top Trump officials and their families, get this, are now living on military bases around Washington D.C. because they're afraid of being assassinated. Pete Hexseth, the Defense Secretary, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Kristi Noem, Homeland Security as well as Army Secretary and Navy Secretary of the United States all now live in military housing in the Washington D.C. area. This is our country today because of wacko, deranged, violent, mentally insane liberals on the left. Can you even imagine the threats versus President Trump and his family and J.D. vance and his family. We have to now have our politicians on the right living at military bases being protected by the United States military. Scary. Countdown number five. Well, the skeletons are all coming tumbling out of the closet at 100 miles per hour. Democrats conspire to steal our elections and frame and indict and imprison Trump and leading Republicans. This is the scandal of the century. And I believe it all started with Obama's IRS scandal. Targeting me and thousands of conservative groups and GOP donors from then to now is like a 15 year conspiracy by Democrats to rig and steal elections, thereby steal the entire US Government and its multi trillion dollar budget and government billion dollar government contracts. That's what it's all been about. Jack Smith. The latest Arctic frost list confirms that Jack Smith and Democrats were aiming to wipe MAGA off the map and jail all the MAGA leaders. He had over 400 Republican targets. And Trump reveals we now know everything about the stolen 2020 election. All right, this segment of the show is sponsored by Patriot Critical Minerals. You know me, I tell you the raw truth about America's future. And you don't have to question it because it's been in the news for the last two weeks. Our military dominance, our economic strength and even our freedom itself depends on one critical metal most Americans have never heard of, tungsten. Tungsten is the metal of strength. It's what hardens our tanks, powers our fighter jets, drives our missiles and puts steel behind every round of ammo. Here's the danger and this is what's been in the news. China controls 80% of the world's supply and 90% of the production. If China cuts us off, America's military, power economy and independence all hang in the balance. Here's the good news. We have the solution. Patriot Critical Minerals, home to the most advanced tungsten deposit in the entire USA, a deposit with over 19 million tons. This is the kind of discovery that is a game changer enough to fuel America's defense industry, support our economy and break China's stranglehold on tungsten. The time to invest in tungsten is now. And Patriot Critical Minerals is leading the charge to break China's grip and power America's future.

It's estimated to contain up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas, making it one of the largest natural gas discoveries in the Rocky Mountain region in the last 30 years. With a management forecast projecting the first 25 wells to produce 400 million cubic feet per day of natural gas and by 2035, targeted production of over a billion cubic feet per day. The surge in AI data centers is placing soaring demand on energy resources. This is how we power the AI future of America with clean natural gas headed by oil and gas legend Mark Bruner, whose previous public companies delivered spectacular returns for investors at their peaks. Pentaco Energy grew about 100 to 1 for investors. You put in $1, you got back a hundred for every dollar. And Ultra petroleum soared from $0.15 to $200 per share at its peak. A $10,000 investment turned into about 13 million over 10 years, 10,000 into 13 million. To learn more about Lost Soldier Oil and gas, go to lostsoldier.com and fill out the contact form.

He is one of the great ones in the US Senate. I always enjoy spending time with Senator Johnson. Ron Johnson, United States Senator.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

How are you? I'm doing well. Hope you are too, Wayne.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

So the government shutdown, where do we stand and when will it end?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, Democrats voted for the 13th time not to open it up using the House Clean Continuing resolution, the basic same resolution that Democrats passed 13 times under Biden at Biden spending levels. But again, they continue to insist on another $1.5 trillion of spending. Extend the enhanced subsidies, which just mask the failure of obamac. They also voted against my Shutdown Fairness act last week. But we've been in discussions with Senator Van Hollen, Senator Peters. We've conceded and we'll pay not only the people that are being forced to work, but because of the 2019 Government Fair Treatment act, we're going to pay even furloughed workers once this all ends. We'll pay them as well. Can you take yes for an answer? So we're in the process of getting the legislative language on that. Hopefully we can vote to proceed to that bill and hopefully Democrats will join us and at least pay the people, like I say that we're forcing to work that are keeping us safe.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

So I just want to make sure I'm on the right page here. We're still no closer to opening the government, but we may get them to agree that while it's closed, you pay the people that have to work, including the military and ICE agents and law enforcement and people like that. Am I in the right place?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Everybody is. Chris Van Halen said on the floor, Senate floor on Thursday, let's not punish federal workers for our dysfunction. I completely agree. So hopefully he will actually live up to that statement and we'll vote now on a bill that really gives them pretty much what they're looking for as well, what it doesn't do. And they wanted a clause in there that would undermine President Trump's ability to manage the federal workforce. My bill is silent on it. I don't add authority. I don't take any authority. They falsely said that my bill increase the authority to reduce the force. Mine doesn't. It's silent. I leave that law alone.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

But that still leaves us with a shutdown government. And they want in return for reopening the government, kind of to destroy many aspects of the big beautiful bill that we all just passed. And they want you to pay for illegal aliens on Medicaid and they want you to spend billions and billions to Extend Obamacare subsidies for a failing Obamacare. What do we do about all of that? Because that's the stalemate. I don't know how we, we get around that. Because I don't want you to ever give in on that.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

And currently it doesn't look like we will. I won't. And I think the president has been standing pretty firm on this. I think we've been standing together as a conference. The House remains outside of Washington saying we've passed a bill to open up the government. Vote for that. And you know, the good news is I think public opinion is on our side. Unfortunately, the lamestream media doesn't do the same type of finger pointing and blaming the Democrats for their shutdown as they would if the tables were reversed. But I think people are understanding now that Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution, didn't ask anything for it. We could ask for $1.5 trillion in spending reductions, right? Then you got something to bargain. But we came in with basically our best offer. It's kind of like a car dealership. No negotiation. You got our best offer as published. That's, that's what we did. You know, again, falsely assuming that the Democrats would be reasonable and do what they've done 13 times under Biden. They're not doing that.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Well, here's what scares me. I got to tell you, my biggest fear is that if the government stays shut down past the weekend, which I think is almost a fait to complete now, the food stamps do not get delivered on Saturday, November 1st. That's when food stamps get cut off. Cause you're out of money for food stamps. That's not part of any resolution that you've put forward or anybody else. And so too many people are on food stamps, 42 million. There's gonna be a lot of really upset people in the United States. And it could lead to a lot of anarchy and a lot of crime and a lot of muggings and a lot of robberies, a lot of retail theft. It's a real problem come this weekend, don't you think?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, there are a couple ways of addressing that. I mean, we could start taking up appropriation bills here in the Senate, which Democrats are blocking. But again, the way to solve that problem is pass the House continuing resolution. That would take care of all this. It is interesting that you mentioned food stamps. This is a program that's gotten out of control. You said 42 million Americans on food stamps. That's not a metric of success. Prior to Obama, we would go and this is from the early 70s throughout the first years of inception. But Stanbauts 1972, you would have the percentage of American cycle somewhere between 6% and 10% on food stamps. Then Obama came into office, the Great Recession, he increased eligibility. Now we're bopping between 10 and 15%. 42 million people represents about 12%. So we just structurally made more Americans dependent on government ever since President Obama came into office and threw open eligibility. So again, that's something we ought to fix. 12% of American population should not be on food stamps. Something is wrong there. That is a metric of failure, not a metric of success.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

And I couldn't agree with you more, except it's even worse than that, Ron, because I just saw data today for the first time. A huge percentage of them are illegal aliens on food stamps. That's separate issue from illegal aliens on Medicaid getting free health care while I pay top dollar for health care, which is crazy. But they're on food stamps. They're not supposed to be on food stamps and yet they're on food stamps. What do we do about that?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, as I said, Obama threw open eligibility. States don't police it properly. What's even worse is so many of those people don't use food stamps for food.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Right?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

They barter the cards and they buy drugs with them or they do other things. We've had plenty of that type of thing as well. So again, it's not a good thing. You know, listen, we want to help people who can't help themselves. You know, we don't want anybody to starve. 12 and a half percent of the American population should not be on food stamps. Something is wrong with that equation.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Right? I don't want any mothers or children to starve. But as far as all the men who have two arms and two legs, they should get a job and work to earn their food stamps or get off their food stamps. Maybe we should start thinking in terms of that. Let's talk about special counsel Jack Smith allegedly tracking the private phone calls of nine Republican senators as part of his January 6th investigation. You were one of those nine. What is your reaction to hearing that?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Well, it's an egregious violation of the separation of powers. There can be no reasonable predicate for doing that. You know, take a look at the timeline. This is know a year after they raided Mar A Lago, a few months after they indicted President Trump. You know, what are they doing, you know, gathering up phone records from eight senators and one, one House member. It doesn't pass the smell test, but I want to get the bottom of it. I've asked Casp Patel, Pam Bondi, you know, do a rigorous internal investigation. Don't start a criminal investigation now, because that basically locks up all the information. I want you to do an internal investigation. Turn all the documents, tell us who the players were so we can interview them, we can put them under oath, we can hold hearings so the American people understand what happened. If we see criminal activity, we'll refer to the Justice Department, then you can start indicting.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

All right, one last thing. You are co sponsoring the Equal Representation act, which would ensure that only legal citizens are factored into the count for congressional maps, Congressional district maps, and the Electoral College map. Currently, immigrants are counted, meaning illegal immigrants. And common sense is that illegals should not count towards the Electoral College or to the congressional map or even to the funding for all these big blue cities. They're making literally hundreds of billions of dollars because they're allowing illegals in. None of this makes sense, but it's also defeating us in elections.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

So that's, I think, really the, the underpinning of what the Democrat scheme was, what, what their game plan was, the strategy to let all these undocumented illegal immigrants into this country because they end up being documented for the census. Pluses up the Democrat numbers in the House gets more billions of dollars flowing into generally Democrat states. Right. Again, Democrats are the party of big government. And so any way that they can grow it by bringing legal immigrants, becoming dependent on the government they're basically for. Again, the American people need to understand what's happening here and stop voting for Democrats.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Last thing I wanted to say, it's not on our little script of questions, kind of off script, but in the first term of Trump, I was really shocked that we had the presidency, the House and the Senate, and nobody ever thought to pass voter ID in federal elections. And now we've got the President, the Senate, and the House. Again, we've got a do over. Is anybody working? I know Trump is doing executive orders, but that's not the same thing. We need a law from Congress that you need to have photo ID to vote in federal elections. Anybody working on that?

[Senator Ron Johnson]

There are certain measures moving forward in terms of election integrity. There is a reluctance, and I think this is a legitimate concern. We really don't want to federalize elections. That's what Democrats want to do. I think there is a certain reluctance. Once you start going down that slippery slope, having some federal rules, then that creates a greater impetus for Federals, you know, controlling every election. So I know. I think it was smart for our founders to put states in charge of running their own elections. We're not going to like the way the Democrat states often do it. You know, in Wisconsin, we've got divided government and we can't bring the election integrity issues, you know, and implement them. So that is a problem. But I understand the concern of really starting to impose federal controls on elections.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Yeah, I mean, maybe we can't do it on federal election, let's do it on all elections. But I understand what you're saying. You're saying the federal government shouldn't be involved, should be a states rights issue. But you'll never get it done in blue states unless the federal government acts. So. All right, that's it for today's interview with the United States Senator Ron Johnson. We always appreciate you fighting the good fight on our side. I wish we had every senator like you, but we don't. But thank you for all you do, Rod. You're appreciated by me and all my fans.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

Have a great day. Thanks for having me on.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

All right, up next, it is the final four, otherwise known as Root Madness.

[Gain Scent Booster Advertiser]

That's the sound of James adding long lasting gain scent boosters to his laundry this morning. Several hours later, James sniffs the irresistible scent of gain on his shirt. Ah, gain. Several hours later, James has even caught the attention of his mother in law and she never gives him attention.

[Wayne Allyn Root]

Oh, you smell amazing, James. Oh, thanks, mom. I love you too.

[Gain Scent Booster Advertiser's Mother-in-law]

I never said that.

[Gain Scent Booster Advertiser]

Add gain scent boosters to your laundry. Add joy to your day.

[Senator Ron Johnson]

All right, this segment of the show sponsored by Gold Gate Capital, and this is my final four segment. Wow. What's coming up? The final four. In the number one story I've spent the past 25 years warning you about inflation, reckless spending, insane levels of deficit and debt, half the country and 100 different forms of welfare. Now you find out 42 million are on food stamps and a lot of them, most of them a majority, illegal aliens. It's a ticking time bomb. And don't Forget World War 3 still looming. The best solution I see to prevent disaster or some sort of economic calamity or collapse is gold. Which is why every central bank in the world right now is buying all time record amounts of gold. When I first started singing the praise of gold, it was about $400 an ounce. Today it's at 4,000. So what are you waiting for? Follow the smart money. I believe the table is set for the most incredible bull rally in precious metals history to continue unabated for years. But don't wait or procrastinate. You don't want to be left behind holding a bag, a bag full of worthless dollars.

Another great week for President Trump topped off by a great trade deal with China looks to be in place. We'll find out next week, but they say it's a done deal. A couple of headlines. President Trump signs a big deal with China meets Xi Jinping, who calls Trump the peace president and Bessant the Scott Besant, the treasury secretary says signatures as soon as next week and says it's a gigantic victory for American farmers. Trump celebrates bringing back trillions of dollars from his Asian trip. And then also just as an aside, Trump gloats after Bill Gates admits climate change will not end the world. First time he's ever said that. Trump says we just won against the green new scam. Countdown number three. Well, Trump is making America American again. He is winning the illegal immigration battle. Just a few headlines. Trump has announced for 2026 he's going to allow only 7,500 refugees into the United States legally. 7,500 instead of millions. And that includes white South Africans. Boy, that will enrage the left. And then the feds announce more than 7200 truck drivers have been removed from US highways after failing an English test. 146 illegal immigrant truck drivers arrested in Indiana. Your days are numbered, says Kristi Noemi. We can't have illegal aliens who don't speak English driving 18 wheel semi trailers. They're going to kill us. And finally, the one good thing about the government shutdown is we found out 42 million Americans are on food stamps SNAP benefits. And guess what? 54% of federal benefit recipients of food stamps are non citizens. That's got to end. Countdown Number two. All right, so this story was last week's number one story. I predicted a possible catastrophe. The day after Halloween if the government shutdown had not ended. I warned you that all SNAP benefits, aka food stamps, would stop on Saturday, November 1st today. And now the whole country is scared to death. Congress is talking about it. The state of New York has declared an emergency. We shall see how this all plays out this coming week. But be careful out there. A lot of people are going to be angry. They're not getting their food stamps and they're going to be hungry and. And they're going to take it out on someone. All right, it's time for my number one story of the week. It's titled I'm a former New Yorker. Get ready for controversial raw truth about why Zoran Mamdani will be elected mayor of New York City next Tuesday. Sadly, tragically so. I was born and raised in New York. I spent the first 26 years of my life there. Still the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my life. I attended college there at Columbia University. I started my first few businesses there. I became an entrepreneur there. I learned everything about life there that has made me the man I am today. I love New York. I used to be proud of my New York roots. Excuse the pun. I used to say I succeeded in business because I had New York attitude. Used to. Not anymore. Now I'm embarrassed to admit I was born and raised in New York. Now it's a third world Marxist crap hole. A foreign state in the middle of America. A failed liberal welfare state. A place where good people are desperate to escape from. Zoran Mamdani is going to win the election on Tuesday. Tragically, that appears to be a reality. I read polls for a living. I read tea leaves for a living. I'm batting almost 1000 with my political predictions for the past decade on national TV and radio. As all of you know, it's over. I'm sad to say Mandami will win. Why is this unimaginable tragedy happening in New York City? The reason is simple. No one else will say it, but I'm going to say it. When I grew up, I was the only Jew in a typical working class, blue collar New York neighborhood. Everyone else was Italian Catholic. All my buddies were Italian. The only exception was one Irish Catholic friend of mine who lived a block away. Johnny o'. Byrne. And our close knit Italian neighborhood was surrounded by 100% black city. I went to a middle school and high school that was 90% plus black. Everyone I knew growing up in New York was either Jewish, Italian, Irish or black. Everyone was American born. We all spoke one language. English I never met a single foreigner, let alone any illegal alien. I've warned for weeks now on all my TV and radio shows that if Ma' Am Donnie wins, it's because the New York that I knew, the New York that I grew up in, the New York that I loved, is gone. Today's New York is filled with foreigners, and most of them are illegal aliens. Gone are the days of Catholics and Jews who all spoke English, worked their fingers to the bone, pledged allegiance to the flag and celebrated capitalism. Today's New York is a city of Muslims and communists and atheists and illegal aliens. They not only don't love America, they hate America in many cases. They hate white people, they hate Jews, they hate patriots, they hate anyone who is successful business owners. And they choose socialism and communism over capitalism. When I read the details of polls in New York City today, I'm proven right. The general breakdown of voters is exactly what I predicted in my gut. Jews are voting 75% for someone other than Mamdaemi, mostly Cuomo. Catholics are voting 70% for someone other than Mamdaami, mostly Cuomo. But also a decent amount are voting for Republican Curtis Lewis. But foreigners in New York City are voting overwhelmingly for Mamdani. That's why Mamdani is winning. This explains everything. The New York of today is nothing like the New York I grew up in. Yes, it was predominantly Democrat then, and it's still predominantly Democrat today. But in the old days, those were normal, sane Democrats who elected law and order Democrat Ed Koch, who today would be a conservative Republican MAGA guy as mayor three times. Ed Koch. And they elected Republican Rudy Giuliani as mayor two times. And they elected Republican Michael Bloomberg three times. And they elected Republican George Pataky as Governor of New York State three times. Even though it was a Democrat dominated state. That old New York was a combination of Jewish, Italian, Irish and black. But today's New York is a foreign country. I don't even recognize my old hometown. It's filled with foreigners who are mostly illegally in the country. No one speaks English. Walking on the streets in New York City is like being at the United Nations. They're from every country in the world but America, and many of them, if not most, hate America and our capitalist system. Think that I'm guessing. Nope. The Democracy Institute is the most accurate pollster in the country for the past decade. Their latest poll shows New York City voters prefer socialism over capitalism by 61% to 39%. You can bet that one third of that majority who support socialism are white. Liberal nerds from elite colleges brainwashed by Marxist professors. But two thirds of that socialist majority are foreigners who come from socialist countries and brought their ignorant and dangerous views with them to poison our country. It's official. Mamdani is almost certainly going to be the next mayor of my hometown, New York. A place I no longer recognize. It's not Jewish or Catholic anymore. It's not white or black anymore. It's not even American anymore. It's a failed communist foreign city in the middle of America. And in my next column, I'll tell you about the controversial, raw truth about what's going to happen to New York City after Mamdani is elected. Hint. Think Titanic meets Poseidon Adventure with a touch of Zimbabwe, Haiti and Venezuela thrown in. It'll be at my website starting on Monday. Root for America dot com. All right, that's it for this week's show. Have yourselves a great week. And I mean a great week. God bless you. God bless America. God bless President Donald J. Trump. Be careful out there with food stamps cut off. It's going to be some danger out there. And remember, this show is dedicated to my dog, Buddy. I love you, Buddy. I will love you forever. He's up in heaven. Thanks, everyone. Have a great weekend.
