It is the last one on show I want to talk immediately about. The Trump train is now on track to bring America back in ways that we had not even anticipated. You know, this man sits down and looks at the United States, looks at the world in a way I can't imagine J.D. vance stepping into those shoes and saying, we want Greenland. By the way, the third greatest deposit of oil in the world is in Venezuela. I'm taking it back next weekend. It takes a rare breed of cat, a rare Trumpian person in history to just look at the world that way and have the chutzpah to actually do something and pull it off. It just takes such incredible personal confidence and courage to do that. And you just don't see it. George Herbert Walker Bush, who led the coalition of the Willing Indigo, take out Saddam Hussein and our last time to I theoretically the idea was, I guess, to bring stability. Weapons of mass destruction was a story probably going for Iranian oil. I don't know what the real motive was. I have my theories on that, but I mean there was no, There was a drumbeat of Howard Baker and these guys working for. Was it Howard Baker? It was. Baker was the Secretary of State. There was just a long drumbeat. Trump on a weekend boom. He had his private meetings. No leaks. Not going to get the whole world on the same page. Not going to Europe and getting permission. But bam. That's a different kind of leader. Folks. I just want to point it out because people don't think about it. Now, Glenn Beck, I got two minutes of Glenn here and cut to. I have not heard Glenn's cut. So this will be me hearing it with you and getting my first time reaction. But my brilliant staff here in Dallas said, Lance, listen to what Glenn explains about the oil. Listen to this.
Glenn Beck
Right now, Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on Earth. 303 billion barrels. That's 17 plus trillion dollars at the current market value. They also claim about 8,000 to 10,000 tons of gold that is still in ground. Now here's the part you're not being told. With all of that oil, we don't need the oil. Have you noticed the gas prices, they keep coming down. We don't need the oil. We need to pull the oil out of the ground ourselves, which we are we need to refine it ourselves, which we are. China needs the oil. China buys 60 to 90% of all of Venezuela's crude exports. China also buys 85 to 90% of all of the oil from Iran. China also buys nearly half of all Russian oil. What's happening right now? Well, 60 to 90% of all of the exports from Venezuela now not going to China. How is China going to be able to power all of their electricity needs? How are they going to do that if they don't get oil from Venezuela? Oh, and what else has been destabilized this weekend? Iran. They buy 85 to 90% of all of the oil in Iran. And those are huge oil reserves as well. So when people say this isn't about oil or this is about oil, the argument goes back and forth.
Public Ad Read
No, it's not about oil.
Glenn Beck
We don't need it. No, it absolutely is about oil, but not for us. This is about Donald Trump again playing to win the long game. You're not going to have any of the oil from Western allies. Not going to happen.
Lance Wallnutt
What I love about this show, what I like about me, is that I don't have to have all the answers. I love listening to Victor Hanson. I love listening to Steve Bannon. I love listening to Glenn Beck. I really believe there's wisdom out there in a multitude of counselors. I had not heard that particular perspective, but when you think about regime change in Iran, well, I did not realize 80% of their oil is bought by China. You realize that if 60% to 90% of Venezuela's oil is going to China, Donald Trump made the comment, and I heard him say it, and now I understand why he said, and of course, the oil, which American ingenuity and America work and America investment helped to cultivate there in Venezuela, we helped to bring it out of the ground. We set up those refineries. Are those. Those drilling stations, etc. He said, and of course we're going to bring them up. We're going to recover them, we're going to restore investment and get them going again. And China, you know, of course, is going to have oil. And what he's saying is his goal is not to disrupt China. His goal is to use it as leverage. He could throttle you. See, you need to have leverage when you're a country like us with China. Because if China decides it wants to go against Taiwan, they may say, you went for Venezuela, we're going to go for Taiwan. But a lot of it depends on what happens in Tehran. Because if Tehran goes sideways, They've lost their oil. If Venezuela goes to Trump and Trump says, we're going to embargo, Iran's oil going to you and also Venezuela now, oil's not coming because we're in charge, well, that would cripple them. We'd be at war over that. That would be like claiming war on natural resources. So it's a. It's a very interesting tactic to get the oil is to have leverage over your biggest, potentially dangerous competitor. And that is a significant piece of information. All right, now I've got to stop for a second and say this. You're going to watch this year's price of oil is going down, but you're going to watch the markets fluctuate. Lot of enthusiasm out there for America as this right now, there's a lot of flux because we don't know we're going to boots on the ground. The news cycle. The Democrats really want to have war there so that they could say we're in a boondoggle. Donald Trump finally did it. He screwed up. He got us, blah, blah, blah. And the news will go that way because the news wants a story that makes Trump look like he finally stepped in and stepped on the rake. But this is actually a brilliant move and it's going to work out. My prayers are that Marco Rubio doesn't end up getting hurt. Because I think the strategy of the Marco, of the regime down there, Maduro regime, is to create a boots on the ground catastrophe for the United States by showing resistance, armed resistance, to make it look like America's getting sucked into. Because our MAGA base are suckers, our MAGA base and our Christians are suckers for that narrative. So if I was the devil, I'd say, oh, Trump's getting you into a conflict in foreign soil. Because we think that if we just pull in and just focus on us, everything will be fine. No, it won't. They will choke you from the outside in like an anaconda. Russia, China and Iran, like principalities, will wrap their coils as they were doing with Venezuela and as they were planning on doing in South America with the One Belt, One Road initiative. And as they're presently doing in Europe and Africa. China is preparing to be the ascendant economic guerrilla dominating the globe as the United States dollar collapses. So that creates anxiety, which is why the price of gold and silver is always going up. I'm telling you, don't let the price of gold right now scare you. It's just going up. If it's $4,700 an ounce, and you've got $47,000 in an IRA. I roll that IRA over and get yourself 10 ounces of gold, because it's just gonna keep on going up and up and up and up and up. Silver's gone up, like, 400% since 1920. 19. 200%. Like, you know, I think in the last three years, my reason for saying this is I called up my financial guys, man. I'm supposed to be retired. I could have retired five years ago. I do what I do for you because I love it. I love traveling. I love preaching. I love going to the Middle east, going to other nations, and I love being able to broadcast the truth because prophetically, I'm burdened that we actually know what's going on so we can pray and. And act accordingly. I worry about the prayer. I don't really think we're a praying people. I could tell by the way people talk. You know, when you're praying for somebody, you don't talk smack about them. You have a little bit more caution because you're praying for them, not against them. And so when I hear people all critical of Pam Bondi this and Rubio that and then Donald Trump this, I know they're Christians running at the mouth, little text threads, sitting there in the bleachers, eating our popcorn like, you know, the Sunday morning quarterback. You couldn't take one shot out there on the field. You'd be stunned. These guys are getting hit every day, and you're sitting there critiquing. When am I gonna see some arrests? Little less Venezuela, a little bit more perp walk of Obama. And it's so shallow, it's so petty and vindictive that I don't know how those prayers could ever be answered if they were turned around. That person sounds like they're out of whack. And I'm not joking, folks. I'm telling you. But I mentioned the silver and gold, because if you go to lancewallnut.comgold right now, you're gonna. You can get up to $20,000 in precious metals for free. Up to $20,000. That's. It's. It's like the. It's like. I don't know, what do you want to call it? The California gold Rush? I got people coming to me all the time thanking me. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. Kissing me on the cheek. Grandmas, thank you so much. Because what they've gotten now in silver and gold has doubled their portfolios, and I'm glad we'll be right back.

Up for free@lenovo.com Pro. Anyway, I Want to tell you something. I'm at that age now where I go through the airport and I go to meetings, and if an attractive woman, younger woman comes up to me, I know what she's going to ask. Are you Lance Walnut? Yes, I am. They take out their phone. Can I take a picture? I'm telling you, this happens all the time. Sure. It's from my mother. I got the grandmas, I got the mamas. And, you know, I'm telling you, I got. I know their grandmas because they're women who come. They got their little kids with them and they're getting on the supermarket. My mother would love to have a picture. So thank you. But that's, that's the age I'm at now. I get. I get. The women can love to get their moms pictures for their moms. All right, so here's the deal. Maduro. I'm watching these, you know, Benny Johnson gives these rather optimistic, you know, shorts, we call them. You know, I'm watching him on YouTube or wherever I'm looking at it, and. And he says, Maduro knows where the. Where the Dominion voting machine bodies are buried. Smartmatic came out of. Out of Virginia, out of. Out of Venezuela. The smartmatic and Dominion out of Venezuela. And so he says, you know, they know all of the voting. They know all the regular lectures. They got the information. This is the tech hub from where, from whence these things came. And he mentions, you know, I talked to a friend of mine who's high up in diplomatic circles, and he told me that he's even had dinner with Madur. That's just the way it is in those high circles. And he said, yeah, he's already admitted that they definitely have, you know, got the technology and it affects elections. So Donald Trump has him arrested and what's going to happen? He's going to come clean and start singing like a canary and telling Trump. Trump is after that information. Well, if you watch Maduro go to court, you very quickly see that a few minutes into his, you know, appearance, he was highly defensive and arrogantly preset to defend himself. He said, I am Nicolas Maduro Moros. My name is President Nicolas Maduro Moros, President of Venezuela. I am here kidnapped, and I am here since January 3rd. Saturday, I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela. I am still president of my country. I'm an innocent man. I'm not guilty, and I'm a decent man. Then he proceeds to give the middle finger for photographs, you know, backstage. And this doesn't sound like a man who's looking for a plea deal on Dominion Software and smartmatic. That's wishful thinking. But what I'm aware what the devil wants to do is to take that 300 billion barrels of oil and that Trump is reacquiring. And by the way, he's not asking for regime change. He is not asking for regime change in Iran. I really wish, I wish that we had a country that had the stomach. We've spent blood in treasury for so many years, we can't imagine having a single casualty in war. But I really wish. I'm just going to say this. You can all write your hate mail later. I wish we had the stomach for being able to use this window of time to take the Iranian regime on in military ways with certain special forces and certain underground funding and movement with the insertion over there of an insurgency. Because we have to clip. According to Erik Prince, who was pushed back on. Steve Bannon yesterday said in Tehran, all that they need is a little pushback. The people themselves, the churches, the people, they don't have the ability to cut back 15, 20% of the Quds forces or the Revolutionary Guard forces, but if you could just push them back 10, 15%, it will collapse like a house of cards. That's all it's going to take. In Venezuela, 7 million people left, the cream of the crop. The most patriot capable leaders took off. So what they got left are just the poor banding together on streets, banging pots and pans. They don't have the ability to push back on a paper on a house of cards. All that it takes is American resolve. A couple of missiles dropped in on the mafia, corrupt defense minister that they've got these guys, they have rap sheets, they already got bounties on them of $20 million. This is like, this is like the Sopranos. The woman is the vp, is the daughter of Tony Soprano. I mean, the whole thing is a mafia house over there, a cocaine house. You understand it? So maybe, boom, take out, do a couple of, you know, send the message, send the memoir that you're gonna have a shift over here on US terms or we're starting to take some of you guys out. But it's the American press. And Senator Chris Murphy will come out of his useless office doing nothing in order to warn us all that the dictator is on the loose. I don't even want to do it, but I gotta do it. It's like Bannon's cold opens. They're painful, but I gotta see it play video. Cut 1.
John Fetterman
Venezuela is not a security Threat to the United States. They're not threatening to invade us. There is no terrorist group like Al Qaeda operating there that has plans to attack the United States. To the extent that you care about the drug trade, yes, they produce drugs, but those drugs go to Europe. Fentanyl is the drug that's killing Americans. That's not coming from Venezuela. Venezuela produces cocaine. 90% of it is not coming to the United States. This seems to be mostly about oil and natural resources. Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt. Russia, the Middle east and now Venezuela is all about making money for his friends and Wall street, the oil industry, they can make a lot of money off of Venezuela if they run it. You saw within hours of the invasion, the announcement of a group of Wall street investors, energy industry investors, planning a trip to Venezuela to make money off of this invasion, off of this ouster. So unfortunately, once again, you're seeing that this President's foreign policy, the invasion of Venezuela, the ouster of Maduro is about making his crowd filthy rich. It has nothing to do with American national security.
Lance Wallnutt
You absolute knucklehead. See the shark, See the shark. The only thing I could do to ventilate my frustration with these people. Judgment. Judgment on your words. A judgment on your lying spirit. I feel better. Here's the reality. Think Trump's taking bullets? Do you think he's risking bankruptcy and imprisonment to make a couple of ne' er do? Well, recent friends that are rich people show up in Washington so he can make them money. You think that's it, you knucklehead. He's making America rich. He's raising the gdp, the productivity is dropping, the energy prices, making homes more affordable, making the, the industry is more profitable so that the United States can have strength, so that America can be able to be an economic titan and your family is safer. And he's putting the chokehold on China's aggression which will rise up and bury us. He's saying, for your children and your grandchildren's sake, I'm going to make America great again. Greenland, with 20,000 people living there, mineral rich, who should be occupying that asset, who should be militarily protecting us from Russia and China. The United States should be there cultivating and curating the resources, prospering the people and maintaining f. We're staying on the track. We are right now a Judeo Christian decency in the decadent, self destructive West. We're holding back like Samson's hands on the pillars. At least we're, we're, we're, we're our hands are in the right place to bring down the House of the Dragon. Guys like this are useless because he makes the wrong point. Trump isn't doing this to make his friends rich. He's already a billionaire knucklehead. He doesn't need them. Their applause anyway. Let's see what John Fetterman has to say. Senator John Fetterman, cut three. I don't even know what he says, but every now and then he says surprises me. He's the one Democrat in an increasingly red state that actually makes sense. So, Senator Chris Murphy, your Democratic colleague called the operation wildly illegal. America doesn't want this war. Nobody asked for this. And I think the most important conversation to have is Venezuela is not a security threat to the United States. They're not threatening to invade us. Do you want to take this on?
Steve Bannon
Well, I mean, I respect my friend in Connecticut, but we have different views on this and perhaps other views as well. Again, I just said this on my social media that, you know, remind everybody that America is a force of good order and democracy and we are promoting these kinds of values. We are the good guys. You know, let's pretend that we are acting in a way. Now, remember, we all Democrats years ago wanted to eliminate him and they why? Why have a bounty of $25 million if we didn't want him gone? Why would you do these things if you weren't willing to actually do something other than harsh language?
Lance Wallnutt
Do you hear that? Now listen, he didn't say this. I wish Donald Trump would say this. I wish my el presidente was just a little bit, at times, less competitive. Here's what he needs to say. Hey, I didn't put 25 million bounty on Maduro Biden, did you? Democrats said he's so guilty, he's so guilty of narco trafficking that we want to put a $25 million bounty on his head. And no, Donald Trump doesn't get the money. Does Trump get the money, Producer? No, he doesn't get the money. The last thing he's going to do now is say, can I collect it? Because it's actually going to go to Pete Hegseth and Rubio. So, no, but the bout. So why. The point is Biden put it out now what somebody said it was Eric Prince. I said yesterday what Trump. What's interesting is poor Marco, pray for brother Marco. I mean, the guy is running four different divisions of government right now. And now on top of that, Trump turns over Venezuela to him. This is a real problem because they got no government to work with like I said Tony Soprano's daughter's running the country. She doesn't want to cooperate. They want to see what happens with Maduro first. And poor Marco. I'm afraid this, this. I don't want to see him hurt because he's such a great guy, but he is in an impossible situation. Pray for Marco Rubio. We'll be right back.

Hey, welcome to the Lance Wilmot show. For those of you that are coming back, you'll notice I'm not dressed the same. I found a scarf. You know, I've lost this scarf over the holidays. My wife said I'm praying you figure out where you left it. I was really upset because I'm a little absent minded. I leave stuff on planes. My, my kid just texted me something. He's wearing a shirt I left at his house. I don't know why I do it. It's an adhd, you know, infirmity, I guess. But anyway, I just found it in one of the areas of my office, so I'm wearing it. Isn't it a great little, you know, whatever this is called? Muffler or scarf. That's what it is. All right, so speaking of scarves, somebody was scarfing about $9 billion of revenue right out of Minnesota. And the amazing thing is the last interview Charlie Kirk did was with this young guy in his 20s who's a Christian. Like he said, I don't do drugs, I don't do alcohol, I don't drink, I'm still a virgin, I'm a Christian. I'm just basically grabbed his cell phone, went up, recorded out there, went around and recorded what was went to daycare, stock numbers. Anyone could have done this. This 23 year old kid does it. Breaks the news cycle, brings down the governor. Now here's the question I've got for you. We're gonna play a little video here. Yeah, go ahead, play video. Cut six of the journalist Nick Shirley.

We are from ourselves.
Lance Wallnutt
Yeah, hello.
Caller or Interviewee
We'd like to ask where's the money's going. Look at that. Shut us down. Where are the children at? No children inside of this daycare center. And look at this daycare center right here. No children inside of this daycare center. But between those buildings, over $2.6 million.
Lance Wallnutt
Wow. And imagine that was just 2 million here, 1 million there, and it goes up to 9 billion. Takes a lot of daycares to add up to that. Well, what my question is this. The fraud fallout is so severe that Governor Tim Waltz has to abandon his re election bid. He might have to lawyer up to prove that he was just incompetent and not corrupt. It's bad when you're corrupt. It's bad when you're incompetent. And if you have to pick one of the two, it's embarrassing either way. But I want to ask you the question. What would have happened if Harrison Waltz were the vice president and presidential? What would have happened? Well, first of all, you know the Somalian theft would never have been doged out. Although this kid, this kid with an iPhone, which by the way, hint, hint, can make you famous with an iPhone as a citizen journalist in California right now, in Michigan right now, go to the, get ahold of the list, get a printout. Grok will help you. So we'll chatgpt of all the state federal funded agencies and go around and check them out, the food kitchens, the programs and just do a little citizen journalism. Here's my point. What would have happened if Tim Waltz was vice president of the United States and this came out? Can you imagine what that would look like? The firestorm over pulling out the vp over fraud and corruption charges in his own state. That would just be a constant news cycle. This guy could have been president. Kamala Harris gets bam, whacked, taken out, something happens to her. This guy was a heartbeat away from being president. America scary. America scares me sometimes. You know, a big building sways and if it's too tall and sways, it could tip over. That's America. This guy was a heartbeat away from being in charge of your country. Guarantee Iran would have a nuclear bomb. We'd be closer to war in the Middle east and we wouldn't be involved and Israel would be threatening a nuclear response. You'd be seeing Pakistan and India the same way. Who knows, if a nuclear thing hadn't been triggered already, you'd see Venezuela totally taken over by China and you see our border continually being flooded open with gangs and enemies of the state coming in because we have a kind of a suicide death, death wish to bring everybody in and take our economy down. I'm just saying thank God that mercy prevailed and that God in heaven does here and this country that is a super nation, super influential, wasn't turned over to more delirium and demonic control. But what if Waltz was vice president or president and this was coming out Donald J. Trump Post on X after Tim Wolf steps down. Please put it up for me so that your host can see. Minnesota's corrupt governor will possibly have office, leave office, thank you. Before his term is up. But in any event, he will not be running again because he was caught red handed along with Ilhan Omar. Oh, he's going after Ilhan Omar. Hey, what is going to happen to her And Others of the Somalia friends stealing tens of billions of taxpayer dollars. I feel certain the facts will come out and they will reveal a seriously unscrupulous, rich group of slime balls. Governor Waltz has destroyed the state of Minnesota. But others like Governor Gavin Newscomb and JP Pritzker and Kathy Hochul have done, in my opinion, an even more dishonest and incompetent job. No one is above the law. Trump isn't even running and he's already running over his competition. He's imaginary opponents. They won't even. They'll be running against his successor, but he's after them already. He's so competitive. What do you think? Do you think Elon, Elon Musk, but Elon Omar, do you think that she's going to in any way get exposed? How did she make, how did her husband end up burning like $20 million? Where's the forensic audit and IRS analysis of where all that money came from that took somebody with a $200,000 income and suddenly made him $20 million richer? Doesn't it make you curious people? All right, all right. Carolyn Levitt says none of this is surprising to the Trump administration. This is a man who can no longer even win the votes in his own state, says all hands on deck. They're surging resources to get to the bottom of this play. Cut nine. Does it surprise you what's happening with Tim Waltz?
Political Commentator or Guest
Unfortunately, it doesn't. The scale of the fraud that the Trump administration, with the help of great independent journalists like Nick Shirley, is uncovering right now is surely shocking. But President Trump has been calling out Tim Walz for his incompetence and corrupt leadership for a very long time. And Trump was right about everything. This is another example of that, which is why Governor Walsh is dropping out of the race. Because for reelection today, this is a man who can no longer even win the support of the voters within his home state because his policies have failed them. And now the great people of Minnesota, a state that was once known as the land of 10,000 lakes, has been turned into the land of 10,000 Somali schemes because of their governor. And don't forget, this is a guy who is at the top of the Democrat Party's ticket. The number two. He was Kamala Harris's running mate just about a year ago until President Trump crushed them last November. And it was in large part because the president was calling out this fraud. And so this has been a day one priority for the Trump administration. Jesse. The Department of Justice has convicted and prosecuted nearly 100 defendants in Minnesota. And because of these new details in this new reporting that has come to light, this is a all hands on deck across the entire government effort. We are surging resources. You saw today, the Department of Homeland Security announced We have nearly 2,000 agents from the Homeland Security Investigations team. The FBI is on the ground and we're freezing money. HHS cut off funding for child care centers and for daycares. USDA Secretary Rollins has been asking Governor Walz to see the recipients of SNAP in his state. So this is all hands on deck. Rest assured, it's a top priority for President Trump and he believes that Governor Walsh is criminally liable to and I think the Department of Justice is going to find out.
Lance Wallnutt
Let me tell you something. Trump just froze the money to Governor Newsom and a whole bunch of left wing states because he said, I think there's fraud all over the place. All right, look, real quick play brother Steve Bannon. Let's hear what the Irish Brigade has to say.
Steve Bannon
The signal's coming out of Minneapolis. Waltz, remember was just running for his third term as a tee up for a 2028 run and he was on the short list. He was on their short list as a presidential candidate. He's now done. This is the power of not just the Somalian situation, but the entire situation about these programs essentially taking illegal aliens, what do they call them, refugees, migrants, whatever program they come in, asylum program, they're all illegal. It's all 100%. They're all gun decked getting in here and they all have to be removed. And taking your tax dollars. They understand the polling is just not MAGA's outraged. But most importantly, independents are, are completely average because they've heard Waltz's liver lipped BS for years and years and years. He's done, he's a casualty of this war.
Lance Wallnutt
Well, let me tell you something, these independents, man, you need those votes. They're the swing group, you know, you got the right wing and the crazy left and then the independents, they're a big deal. All right, come on right back right after this. I don't want to lose you. We got a final big segment with Maha.

Bringing the news as the news is happening. By the way, I got a question for you. Do you guys believe that. It's possible for Mike Lindell to become the governor of Minnesota? Now, I'm a little concerned about this. Mike's a friend of mine. He texts me and he says, lance, want to talk to you. I'm running for governor. He loves Minnesota. One thing about Minnesota, my son in law is from Minnesota. Michele Bachmann's from Minnesota, Mike Lindell from Minnesota. These Minnesotans are different than other states. If you were from, you know, I don't know, Illinois, or if you're from New Mexico or you're from Montana, I might not ever hear it. But whenever I run into someone from Minnesota, it's the funniest thing. They always bring up somebody they know in Minnesota, want to know if I know them. It's like they all know each other in Minnesota. I mean, Michelle, how could I tell you? Michelle, I can't tell you half a dozen other well known people state. But I know Michele Bachman is from Minnesota. I know Mike Lindell's from Minnesota. Something about Minnesota. I started thinking about it. I want to bring Mike on the show because he said, lance, I want to announce what I'm doing. And I'm thinking, oh man, we can't, we can't afford to lose anything. We need to be serious and sober minded and judicious. We got to put candidates that are really electable on the map. Not just every Christian that's a friend of mine or everybody that has a vision for, you know, or here's a call of God to go run for office. It's got to be electable people. But then I thought, but Minnesota, isn't that where the governor was once? A former World Wrestling Federation, like Navy seal, Delta guy, Jesse Ventura, am I correct? Yeah. I'm thinking, I remember watching him with long blonde hair, you know, and him doing wrestling moves and thinking, that guy will be governor. Yeah, he was elected. Then I thought, can't believe Saturday Night Live. Al Franken, one of the comedians has said, Well, a comedian's gonna run for sen. Well, this will be a joke. Boom, the guy gets elected. My point is this. Minnesota is kind of nutty that way. If it's a fair election and you're from Minnesota and you're really liked in Minnesota, let me tell you something. The left doesn't like Mike Lindell anywhere, but in Minnesota. He's the pillow guy, right? Yeah, Mike Lindell, he's a good guy. I'm talking, trying to talk like a Minnesota, probably insulting them. I think he might win. I'm saying all that to say for Minnesota, he might do it. They elect wrestlers, they elect comedians. Why not the pillow guy? I'm giving you my logic on this. Now I wouldn't say that for every other state, but Minnesota is a little bit different. And I'm not kidding, if I had my son in Lay Zinni's studio here, he's just not miked up. I mean, here, hop over here in a chair, Matt. It's my son in law for all you guys want to know who he is. Matt, am I, I haven't talked about this with you, but what do you think? Is this, Am I offbeat or is it, what do you, what are the Minnesota people thinking? And why is it that Minnesota people all know each other?
Steve Bannon
Well, you know, it's very cold in Minnesota, so there's not a lot to do. But all you do is talk about the weather in Minnesota and you find some way to connect and bond over something. But.
Lance Wallnutt
But look, Jesse Ventura is a wrestler and a Navy SEAL guy and then Al Franken, comedians Saturday Night Live. Do you think Michael and Dell has a chance?
Steve Bannon
I think you'd be surprised when you get outside of the city in the rural areas they are very heavy Republican and there's a lot of especially farmers and especially the hard working citizens of Minnesota. There's a lot more people who support and endorse a Republican candidate and especially a change. I mean I was there underneath the walls regime for a while, especially during George Floyd and all that craziness that, you know.
Lance Wallnutt
And it didn't go over good there, did it?
Steve Bannon
It did not go over good. No.
Lance Wallnutt
I mean Trump, Trump won. In spite of the election fraud, he still won Minnesota.
Steve Bannon
I think the saddest thing, the hardest thing for me is having moved away from Minnesota for I think four years now. Every year I go back, I see it get worse and worse. It's not as clean as it once was. It's not as kept together as it once was. It just doesn't feel as safe as it.
Lance Wallnutt
You know, so kind of like in Dumb and Dumber, you're saying there is a chance?
Steve Bannon
I think there's a chance. I think it's gonna be hard because I know. Was it Michelle or. No. Who's the.
Lance Wallnutt
What am I looking at here? What's the data showing me? You got young eyes. What are we looking at? What is that look? It's like microfiche out here. Guys, I'm almost 70 years old. You're making me squint. Is this the statistics on who's. Okay. Lisa Dinmuth, 44%. Kendall Quayle, 16%. What am I looking. Mike Lindell's 14%.
Steve Bannon
Who's the Democratic candidate?
Lance Wallnutt
These are the Minnesota governor, Republican primary winner. So Mike Lindell's only getting 14%. Is that what I'm seeing?
Steve Bannon
That's what it looks like, yeah.
Lance Wallnutt
Okay. Who is Lisa DeMuth? Do you know who she is?
Steve Bannon
I do not know who that is.
Lance Wallnutt
She doesn't have the name recognition Mike Lindell has.
Steve Bannon
I will say, though, I do know a friend of mine who I talk with who actually used to work for Senator Gazelka in Minnesota. He said he wishes Waltz was rerunning because he would be an easy candidate to go against, especially with the.
Lance Wallnutt
Everybody's celebrating. It's our side. It's like they should have left him there. They should have let him there because he couldn't, because he'd be easier to beat. Now they're going to run Klobuchar, who's.
Steve Bannon
Kind of the sweetheart of Minnesota.
Lance Wallnutt
Yeah. She almost had a presidential run, so it's going to be a little tougher. But who was the senator? You said you mentioned a name a moment ago. Senator. What?
Steve Bannon
No, that's who. The one who you were just talking about was. The one that's worried because she's like America's sweetheart. And every poll she's been in. Yeah. Klobuche always showed up really well at the polls, and people have come out and vote for her. So it's going to be a hard race.
Lance Wallnutt
All right, well, listen, I got five minutes left in the segment. I want to thank you, Matt. Thank you for giving us your opinion there and so appreciate that. I want to talk about this Maha thing. This is a big deal. Nobody's talking about it. Do you guys realize how big a deal this is? Kennedy has done something amazing. 72 vaccines. Your kids were pharmaceutically this industry. Aren't you outraged moms, Maha people, independents and informed conservatives. The pharmaceutical industry. These doctors. Do you really believe in their credibility that do these studies on why you have 72 separate chemical vaccines going into your body. Then we have the surge of 2000% increase in autism compared to other countries. Europe drops it down for vaccines for 11 categories or 11 vaccines. Basically, United States does 72. Somebody was pumping your kids filled with chemicals and hurting their brains and their lives. New U.S. guidelines, however, recommend that all children get vaccines for 11 diseases compared with the 18, including Covid. Today, the Trump administration is proud to announce the United States of America's updated childhood vaccine schedule. The schedule is rooted in the gold, is rooted in the gold standard of science and widely agreed upon by scientists and experts all over the world. Effective today, America will no longer. Here it is, requires 72 jabs for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable schedule where all children will only be recommended to receive a vaccination for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases. Parents can still choose to give their children all the vaccinations if they wish. They will still be covered by insurance. However, the updated schedule finally aligns with the United States with other developed nations around the world. Congratulations to the HHS secretary Bobby Kennedy, along with the other directors. So what I'm telling you is the number of the vaccines is going down. European countries. Here's the point I was making. 11 injections compared to the United States. 72 injections. 72. I'm bringing the shark out again. In the name of Jesus, I break that lying spirit. Can you imagine that, Matt, Your little baby, my granddaughter getting pumped up. If you guys were students of the Ivy League schools, the Northeast, I guarantee from Bango, Maine, all the way down to Boston and down to Greenwich, Connecticut, they're jecting those kids. I mean, I got family members in the Northeast who still think Fauci walks on water. They believe in this, they believe in all those other vaccines. And then you wonder why the kids are autistic, why they have problems, And then, you know, with all the other attendant side effects. Now what's with Denmark? Wait a second. You know, Denmark is with Greenland lately fighting Trump, but I noticed Denmark is in my notes here. Like we got a minute, 23 seconds. Hold on. Kennedy anti vaccine activist has said he believes children in the US receive too many vaccines, falsely saying on multiple occasions that kids get as many as 90 doses before 18. The health secretary has moved to limit vaccine for kids in removing a recommendation for the COVID shot. In the presentation by Hogue, the CDC vaccine advisory committee, who holds dual citizenship in the US And Denmark, suggested Fewer vaccines may reduce children's exposure to aluminum, an ingredient used in shots to boost the immune system. Major study from Denmark published in July found that aluminum exposure for vaccines isn't harmful. Oh, how about that aluminum? You want to get it out of your fillings in your head, but it's okay if you get it injected in your bloodstream? Evidently, the Denmark study says it isn't harmful. Kennedy demanded the journal retract the study, calling it a deceitful propaganda stunt by the pharmaceutical industry. Another reason to take Greenland from Denmark is they don't get it right on aluminum and they're killing your kids with the metal. Metals, heavy metals. Well, maybe not killing them, but I'm telling you, Trump's on the right track. Denmark is in trouble this year anyway. Is that the end of all my segments or am I actually out of time? I can't believe it. We're out of time. All right, we'll see you again next week. God bless you. My favorite thing about Shipt since I signed up for target circle 360. No price markups when I order same day delivery from tons of local stores, only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. I won't lie, I've had too much fun being like markups on groceries, not in my fridge. Markups on pet food, not for my dog. Markups on tools, electronics, home goods, meds, not in my house. Anyway, it's awesome. Order now@shipt.com 360trees applied we talk a.

The tone of the episode is distinctly combative, patriotic, and skeptical toward conventional political and media narratives. Wallnau regularly blends personal anecdote, sharp-tongued commentary, and a populist, Christian-nationalist framing. Throughout, there is strong emphasis on the stakes of current events—not only for American prosperity but for global order and children’s health.
For listeners seeking unfiltered, opinionated takes on hot-button issues in U.S. politics, this episode delivers a multi-layered, provocative experience.
