The whole global economy is shaking right now. It's crazy because the Strait of Hormuz and what's going on with the Middle east, it's got Europe locked up because they have no energy and they can't. And Trump is basically putting out tweets that are going in this direction, that direction, because now he's in the psychological realm of the art of the deal. So global markets are up and down like this, but they will come back, they will surge back. Trump has the hand of God on him. I'm covering that right here. And that's the reason why, if you had listened to me four years ago, three years ago, when I started saying, hey, guy, the prophet says the silver is mine, the gold is mine. The great shaking of the end times, he was giving a clue. There's something about silver and gold that has an enduring thousands of years stability. If you went to Birch Gold a couple of years ago and did what I said, you'd be doing what people do in the airport. Old ladies come up and kiss me on the cheek. I made a lot of money because of you, young man. Go to lancewellnow.comgold and you can ride the next surge. Promise you silver is indispensable to enterprise and to electronics and to industry. Gold is continuing to go up. Just take your IRA and your paper money and put it over there. You'll be happy you did. Lancewanlaw.com Gold now let's get into the golden dome himself, Donald Trump. Well, welcome back to the Lance Wellno show where I tell you what, right now we're going to be talking about the, it's going to be incendiary. It's going to be, it's going to be fire breathing. I can't help it. We have to get clear on a few things. By the way, I'm wearing a blue leather jacket right now because it's cold in my studio. I'm explaining my jacket because we do a one hour segment for Real America's Voice. Do you guys ever go to Real America's Voice? You can watch me on Sunday morning. I All right, look, I want to talk to you about Bill Maher. Let me start with Bill Maher and warm myself up in my leather jacket. Here, play that segment you have.

Now this guy, Joe Kent, he quit this week. It was a big story. I think he was the counterintelligence guy and he said, I can't go along with this because you know what? He's been listening to too much Tucker Carlson. It's, you know, the Jews Made us do it. It's just another version of anti Semitism that comes out. First it was bds, then it was their colonizers and genocide, which it. And all these other reasons, like you can't have a state in the world that's based on religion, even though there's like 46 Muslim countries that are based on religion. Some have the name right in the title of the country. But whatever it is, you have all these. And now the big answer is no. Israel made us do it. We're Israel's bitch. I don't think we're Israel's bitch. I think we're Israel's ally. But, you know, if I have to be on one side of this MAGA thing, either Trump or Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes, I'll be with Trump on this one. Because that's the other side of maga, because that's the.

That's the weird relatives we have in the MAGA camp. And I don't normally punch to the right of me. I don't believe punching is even appropriate. I remember George Foreman, the great George Foreman, the great boxer. He went to Valley Forge Military Academy where I was a noble cadet, as Candace Owens knows. And where I was there, George Foreman came, and my roommate wanted to go meet George Foreman because he was always just enamored with this man. He said, lance, he said, you know, I went up to him and I said, I heard that you became a Christian. If you're a Christian, then can you explain to me how it is that you could be a, you know, a boxer? And Foreman said, never a punch thrown in anger. That's how you could be like a football player, an athlete, or a boxer. You punch to the glory of God. That just strikes me as funny anyway. Never a punch thrown in anger. And so here's the deal. Sometimes we have to not in anger, but we have to point out what is coming out of this side of our movement on the right. In the MAGA camp, it's septic, and you got to protect yourself from it. It's toxic. Young people who are not my main demographic, unfortunately, I wish I had the Jordan Peterson capacity to be reaching young people. Whenever I go out and meet people, they're usually my age in my audiences, but I wish I could, Lord, reach a younger generation. Because, you see, young people have gone from 40% to 38% support for Israel to down to 13%. They're getting toxically. And when they go vote, they will decouple from the nation that God himself has a covenant with. And I don't care if you like this or not, I can give you the biblical rationale for it. I can give you the historical proof of it. But every country that has betrayed or hurt the Jew that God has a covenant with in the last days to unblind their eyes and to return to deliver them, when all nations turn against them, every nation that blesses them is blessed. Every nation that curses them is cursed. And it doesn't happen right away, but it happens historically. You could see it in Spain, you could see it with Great Britain. You could see it with every nation in the history of the Jewish state. I don't want America to turn its back on the 11 million struggling. They're more our allies than anything. They are more our allies than anything. And I'm going to go with that theme for a couple of minutes here because I think it's very important that we go there. Let's go to this next cut with Victor Davis Hansen. Is America entering an era of global dominance?

Let's hear 2026. Looks like it's going to be the most tumultuous, geostrategically significant and dangerous years since fall of the Berlin War. But let's just review what's taking place right now. For the second time, we're bombing Iran. And this time the negotiations clearly were not going to lead to this 47 year problem resolution. This follows the Maduro, what do we call it, kidnapping coup. At the same time, he's pressuring the Cubans. Trump is basically saying, you saw what happened to Venezuela, you saw what happened to Iran. You're not halfway across the world, you're right here, 90 miles away from us. And this will be a cakewalk if you don't try to reform and give your people a choice. And then we have the Ukraine war. He has convinced the Europeans that you have to do two things that they don't understand. You can't buy energy from Russia. Maybe he's lifted that because the Straits of Hormuz are closed temporarily. But you can't subsidize the Russian war machine and then tell the United States that because of your suicidal energy policies, you have to do that. But you also have to have the United States, United States step in and save you. And so we're trying to find a solution. I don't know how they're all going to turn out, but there's a good chance they could turn out with the United States in a preeminent position that we haven't seen at least since World War II.

Well, you know, I have something up on my teleprompter here and I'm not sure how it got there, but I'm going to read it to you. There's a small but vocal strain of American only commentary that endlessly repeats a falsehood that we get nothing from our aid to Israel. The truth is America's alliance with Israel is not a favor or a handout. It's a major pillar of American strength. It's a strategic investment, an extraordinarily inexpensive way for the United States to buy leverage and influence in, in the territory of the Middle east, which is essential to maintaining global balance for our own economic well being. I. Oh, I see. I'm reading from Rod Martin by if you got. Guys, it's the U.S. israel alliance is a strategic bargain. There's a great little substack article by Rod Martin. You know, I read Rod Martin, I read Jeff Chowders and you know, maybe you don't have to get up in the morning and crunch all the data. I do it because I have this responsibility, I field to give accurate discerning of what's going on. But let me, I'm reading from his. That's where they put it on the teleprompter. Thank you guys. So I'm going to, I'm going to prove to you for a second why it is that this is a partnership. First of all, let me deal with this. The budget. $3.8 billion to Israel. Do you understand that the United States government that. Oh my God, Elon Musk with Doge found hundreds of billions of dollars of fat waste that we put all over the world. 3.8 billion is like a small house, Housing and Urban Development loan for building infrastructure in the city. It's a cost of one submarine. What do we get for that money? It's 1 50th of the amount of money we gave to Ukraine that we get nothing back from. What do we get for our dollar? We get people that fight. We get, we get 200 jets that we have pilots. They're a larger air force, more effective air force than Great Britain or than Germany or than France, our supposed NATO allies who wouldn't lift a finger for us. 3.8 billion a year in Israel. 1 50th of what we sent Ukraine is a deal. Because here's what we get. Most of that money comes back to the US to its own defense contractors who do they're buying the technology from. Who do you think they're working with? Our, our businesses are our defense contractors. For joint US Israeli projects is where the money goes, most of it. People act like we're giving money to the Jews. Now we're giving money to ourself. The transaction In Washington terms, $3.8 billion is a rounding error. Going to read some notes here from my friend Rod Martin. You need to sign up and get a substack. I do. I'm going to encourage all you guys. As a matter of fact, I'm going to try and get a percentage. I'm building everybody else's business here. When Israel destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program in 1981. Yeah, when he was, when he was attempting his nuclear program, the whole world howled, but nobody went and fought. You know why? If America had done it, Russia would have retaliated. But because it was Israel, they couldn't do anything. So Israel has been very helpful. They destroyed Syrian nuclear reactors in 2007. The United States didn't have to do it. We didn't have to have a confrontation with Russia. All these proxy wars. Israel went and did it. It's like everybody says, oh, I can't believe. Next thing you know you got a civil war in Syria and you have the toppling of the Assad regime. Israel's repeated covert and overt actions against Iran's nuclear program, weapons, pipeline, terror networks and proxy infrastructure have likewise delayed, degraded or disrupted threats that otherwise would have required 10 to 20 years to be able to get a hold of. The alternative is not some peaceful vacuum pulling out of the Middle East. America first. You don't understand something when you create a vacuum. China goes into it, knucklehead. They'll set up the ports, the infrastructure, the one belt, one road. They'll control the energy, they'll do the. And then suddenly you've got an anaconda squeezing the life out of the United States. Because we are a global economy, our wealth requires the dollars to go out and be used. When America retreats, the vacuum gets filled, the power gets filled. Iran advances. When America hesitates, Russia probes. When America grows confused, China arrives with money, with ports, telecom network, surveillance systems and diplomatic cover. This is the actual choice set. The world doesn't freeze when Washington holds a seminar and a struggle session. Israel helped prevent that outcome in the Middle east by being the 1 country in the region willing and able to confront the West's enemies. The enemies you've got, they deal with on a daily basis. And this is the point the anti Israel right, the knuckleheads on our own team don't get. They speak as if Support for Israel drags us into conflict. In fact, a strong Israel is essential to keep America out of unnecessary conflict. Wouldn't it God that Taiwan and Japan and Australia and Great Britain, if these countries had the ability to do what Israel does and deliver a tactical, powerful punch in their own backyard, they could deal with problems instead of having to whistle. For us to come trotting out when we can barely afford to balance our own budget. We got to put hundreds of billions of dollars into bailing their butts out. Oh, I'm getting excited just talking. No, Israel handles their threats locally. They do it with local knowledge, local stakes, local force. It's not a drag on American power or wealth. It costs less than a single US Submarine to be able to have them do it for us. Hey, I'm a little excited, but I'm happy. I'm not upset. I'm happy. I'm just passionate. We'll be right back. We're entering a period of time that has increased hostility against people of faith. It's a time when Christians are going to be tested on a moral, physical, psychological, and even a financial basis. I'm here to remind you that God is the one who has blessed you thus far, and he will take care of you in the future. You have a divine responsibility, however, to see trouble and prepare yourself. For example, with record inflation eating away at the value of the US Dollar, the savings in your retirement account is in danger of slipping away. I Recommend diversifying your 401k or IRA out of paper assets and into physical gold. And the best way to do that is with a gold IRA from Birchgold Group. And that includes no penalties, there's no taxes when you transfer current retirement funds into Birch Gold. Let's see how it works. I want you to go to lanswellnut.com birch and get your free info kit. And you'll be glad that you did. We're back, but I'm not done yet. You need to hear this. You need to hear this. And you need to hear the disposition of the urgency and the fervor that Christians need to have, because there's a battle going on right now for the. For the belief system. We're going to have, like, CPAC coming down here this week in Grapevine, Texas. I understand el Presidente himself might be coming in on Friday. I'm going to be speaking there. Somehow I got in there and I. I personally. I mean, they're going to have Steve Bannon there on one side and then Roger Stone on the other. I was at Americana. Americana is that is Americana. No, Amerifest Americana is coffee. I always have the cappuccino and turning points. Cappuccino fest. Anyway, at Amerifest. And then they had, like, you know, they had, you know, what's the guy with the Yamaka? Ben Shapiro and Tucker going at it. Poor Russell Brant in the middle between the two of them. And I'll tell you what, it was kind of. Was Kelly. Was Megyn Kelly there? She shouldn't have been. She wouldn't stand up for Erica Kirk. I have no respect for people that beat up on young widows. And I have no respect for the supposed friends that don't defend them. Don't get me going. I'm off subject already. Anyway, I was there. Why was I saying that? I'm saying it because I don't want to see America. I don't want to see CPAC go into the same confusion. I think the pastors and the spiritual leaders, the actual ones that are. I think you know what the political leaders have a right to say. Shut up. You Christians over here, you don't know what you're talking about. And listen to us that have been involved with electoral politics for 30 years. All right, I will shut up. You economists over there that understand global markets, I'll shut up. You know more about it than I do. But then equally, you should shut up. When it comes to understanding the eschatological implications of hating Jews in the last days, that's our territory. I think we got some Christians. Speak up and speak some sense. Jerk the slack out of these. These runaway trains that are taking place on our own. Maga, right? Anyway, Israel is an irreplaceable weapons laboratory. Did you hear about this? They have a beam. They have a beam. A laser beam technology. The problem we have with asymmetrical warfare is that, you know, they got a $10,000 drone with a. With a bomb attached to it, and they send it over. And then we got to send a $1 million, you know, patriot missile system thing with a. With a computer system, you know, satellite linked up to go intercept it. Well, if it's a couple million dollars for a missile and $10,000 for a drone, they're just going to grab those Honda engines, strap them onto a surfboard and put wings on it and let it fly with a bomb in the front of it. They'll do that all day because they're just killing you economically. It costs them nothing. But Israel's done something, and this is Israel. Ever looked at the number of Nobel Prizes that Israel has Israel, they're smarty pants. The Ashkenazi Jew, according to Jordan Peterson, has a 10% IQ advantage over a Gentile. I don't doubt it, because look at the Nobel Prizes that they have. For a country of like 8 to 10 million people, they've got a 200% disproportionate return for awards for science and discovery. That's not to say that they're morally superior. I mean, you know, they got more abortions there per capita than we have in the United States, and we're pretty pagan. But it does mean that when it comes to science and technology, the Israelis, man, they have an edge. And that's part of the partnership because you see, they now have this laser which for like $2 a beam blast, can focus in exactly on the incoming trajectory. And in some way, I don't know how they do it, but the laser is able to detonate. Just like instead of having to set up a missile, the laser locks in, the laser boom goes out, and it can destabilize or break up or destroy or mess with the guidance mechanism. I guess that's what it does. It throws the entire guidance mechanism, you know, so that. So that it no longer has a trajectory and maybe it blows it up. All I can tell you is this new asset we shouldn't even know about. They like to keep it secret, but this is the technology Israel is developing, assets that are strategic to our own military benefits. Iron Beam, I think, is what they call it. And related directed energy systems are revolutionary. I'm reading from Rod Martin's substack. You guys need to get it. The historic problem of missile defense has always been cost asymmetry. The attacker spends little, the defender spends much. Israel is helping to crack the equation. Every modern missile or drone becomes obsolete. And as this technology develops, the risk of nuclear war drops to nearly zero. If you can just see it coming, you can take it out. This is certainly good for Israel. It's even better for the United States because America has a lot more territory, infrastructure, population centers and critical nodes to defend than any target set on Earth. And Trump wants that. Operation Golden Dome. You know, he wants that. It sounds like something out of James Bond Golden Dome. Anyway, he wants to have that dome there so that he can intercept. And I'm always thinking about this because this is a strange segue, but the Bible says in the Book of Daniel that the Antichrist is going to be. He's going to worship the God of forces. And the word for forces. There seems like a force or defensive force And I wonder if, at the end of the day, if America. I don't want to go down this rabbit hole too far, but if America turns like J.D. vance is president and he decides to turn his back on Israel because Tucker Carlson is still his friend and all that stuff. And, you know, Tucker's got one of his kids is on JD's staff, right? So JD's gotta make some decisions or I tell you what, I'm gonna tell you well in advance. JD Rubio is looking more and more like he's a MAGA favorite. You know why? Because he's really clear on his. The language he uses that resonates with that evangelical base, even though he's a Catholic. You see him at the Charlie Kirk Memorial. That was like a minor Billy Graham moment going on there. Anyway, What I'm saying, JD's a good guy. We're praying for him. We believe he's God's choice to be vice president. Is he God's choice to be president? If you don't get it right with Israel, you're going to lose the base. Guarantee it. Because we ain't going anywhere. You know, when they survey Trump still has 100% support for the magazines, that's us. The Christians who are praying for Trump, in their gut, they got discerned. They know what the man's doing. Right now. The boss is doing this thing right now. We're finding out they got the ballistic missile capacity to bomb anybody within a 400 or 5,000, 5,000 kilometer radius. Oh, my God. Iran lied. And they had the ballistic capability for multiple warheads. They lied about that. And they're 60% already enriched uranium. We don't even have it yet. Where's the 400 kg of enriched uranium? The president can't leave and say we won until he gets his hand on the 400 kg, the barrels that they've got underground. Because I guarantee there's going to be some future Antichrist guy come along. I want to pack them in a missile boom and go over there and drop it on Tel Aviv or something and start World War Three. The central strategic contest of the first half of the 21st century for us is with China. And in that contest, America's greatest structural advantage isn't our gdp, it isn't our navy, it's our alliances. China has clients. China has dependencies. China does. Does these shifty deals where they give you. You do a business with them, and then they end up owning your infrastructure all over Africa. It's happening. Those aren't alliances. Those are temporary. Intimidated trading partners. But Israel is one of our alliances. American firms know this. That's why so many of them have major R and D operations that are. That are working with Israeli companies right now. If there's. I got to hurry up because I only got three minutes left. There's a negative case the critics refused to consider. If America ever truly abandoned Israel. Now listen to me. I talked to one of the major treasury guys and financial guys in Israel and he said this was back when Trump was running. He said, china's already beat you. China's already got the gdp. Israel knows, and the world knows what you guys are late to discover that like Tucker Carlson says, you better play ball with China because China is the global economic power. They're going to dwarf the United States. This is an Israeli man in the cabinet with Netanyahu that was back 2017. I think he said that. I don't think it's that way today. But if America ever truly abandons Israel, Israel will not vanish. It will adapt. It will survive. It will innovate. It will also hedge. States do that. Serious governments do not base their future on sentimental assumptions, no matter how many liberal institutionalists and neoconservatives want them to. What are they going to do? They're going to end up realigning themselves with China. Then China becomes the beneficiary of all that technology, military technology, etc. The Middle East. Why do I care about the Middle East? Lance, we have enough oil. America first. America first. Let them go. Fight it out. Let the Jews. Jews take care of their own backyard. Listen to me, dummy. The Middle east sits at the juncture of Europe, Asia and Africa is the cockpit of all great power. Competition, jihadist ideology, shipping vulnerability, nuclear risk, proxy warfare. If America loses serious influence there, others gain it. Iran gains it, Turkey gains it, China gains it. Islamic revolutionaries gain it. And all of them can work together to form a coalition that will crush us in the West. And Europe is weak and cowardly. The Middle east is full of regimes that are unstable and weak and hostile that will turn on the United States in a moment. But Israel, there is a difference. They are stable. If we'll stay with them, they're the democracy we can work with. Unlike every other country in the region, Israel is a genuine democracy. Look, one fifth of the people there are Arabs and they vote and work there anyway. I'm just going to stop here to say that for a relatively tiny expenditure, the United States gets a stable ally, a regional anchor, a first rate intelligence partner, a technological powerhouse, a combat laboratory, for weapons development for the future. A barrier to Russia and China encroachment and a democratic friend that actually pulls its own weight, like we wish every other country did. That brings us into their conflict, like NATO. Get an alliance. Trump wants everyone to be like Europe and East Asia. The American force should be a plus. It shouldn't be a substitute for your military strength. I'm reading to you Geopolitics, Tech Markets by the brilliant Rod D. Martin. He said it better than me today, so I'm quoting Rod get his substack. I fully endorse it. And I'm down to my last seven seconds. Can you believe it? How time flies when you're having fun. It's always good to see you. Now listen, don't be depressed because I'm going to tell you right now, the future is bright. We'll see you here tomorrow. Did you enjoy this latest episode?
