TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Anybody Listening? Russia Issues Another Warning About Nuclear War

Episode Date: May 12, 2022

One of Russia’s highest-ranking government officials today issued a stark warning to the United States of America and its NATO allies. Dmitry Medvedev was president of Russia from 2008 to 2012. He also served as prime minister and is now deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council. He said military weapons and ammo flowing into Ukraine from the USA and European allies risks triggering a direct nuclear war between the Russian Federation and NATO allies. I’ve lost count of how many nuclear war warnings have been issued by Russian officials since early March, but few Americans appear to be taking them seriously. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 5/12/22.

The following program is made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, visit nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. One of Russia's highest-ranking government officials today issued another stark warning to the United States of America and its NATO allies. Dmitry Medvedev was president of Russia from 2008 to 2012. He also served as prime minister and is now deputy chairman of Russia's National Security Council. He said military weapons and ammo flowing into Ukraine from the USA and European allies risk triggering a direct nuclear war between the Russian Federation and NATO allies. I've lost count how many times, how many nuclear war warnings have been issued by Russian officials since early March of this year, but few Americans appear to be taking them seriously.

Dr. Burkhardt and I have more to share with you on this Thursday edition of True News. Several news items today that once again are pointing toward a possible nuclear conflict. And just as Russia had warned that if NATO continued to increase its rhetoric against them as it led up to the current situation in Ukraine, we're hearing the same kind of talk now, aren't we? We are talking. And the American public is not taking it seriously. Most of them have not even heard it. And the people who have heard it, it doesn't rattle them.

People are just going on with life as though the threats were not made. It's like the American people are just, they're in denial. Oh, Russia wouldn't, they wouldn't nuke us. That's not going to happen. They're just bluffing. It's just part of their propaganda operation. But you don't hear about this on any of the mainstream outlets. No, nothing.

Even the Fox, OAN, Newsmax, they don't say anything about it either. Nothing, Doc, nothing. But this is what they're seeing in Ria Novosti today, in the outlet there. Medvedev warned of the risk of nuclear war in the conflict between NATO and Russia and he said sending weapons to Ukraine could lead to a direct clash between Russia and NATO which risk escalating into a full-fledged nuclear war said Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. As you mentioned he was a president from 2008-2012. Now, he said, according to him, Western countries are now waging a war by proxy. They are pumping weapons into Ukraine,

sending mercenaries, and conducting special alliance exercises near Russian borders. And as a result, this can lead to a full-scale confrontation, which carries risk. Such a conflict always has the risk of turning into a full-fledged nuclear war this would be a catastrophic scenario for everyone therefore you shouldn't lie to yourself and others you just need to

think about the possible consequences of your actions don't choke on your own saliva in the paroxysms of Russia phobia that that had concluded you know that you shouldn't lie to yourself and others you need to think about the consequences of your actions is NATO making the bet that Russia won't follow through on threats is that what they're betting I think so doc with the hope that NATO can wear down Russia and Russia collapses. I think the ultimate goal of NATO is the collapse of Russia without the absence of nuclear war. I agree with you. I think that's their goal. But are they blinded to the ramp up of the conversation now?

I think their pride prevents them from considering the real possibility that Russia will nuke us. These threats are now weekly, sometimes two or three in a week. Yes. And it doesn't seem to faze anybody. In fact, the Western leaders will just double down the next day. Their venomous talk against Russia will just become more hostile. And they're showing no signs at all that they want to resolve the conflict.

As a matter of fact, it just seems like they want to ramp it up. They want to ramp it up. AT ALL THAT THEY WANT TO RESOLVE THE CONFLICT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO RAMP IT UP. THEY WANT TO RAMP IT UP. THEY WANT THE DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA, AND THEY'RE WILLING TO RISK THAT YOU AND I, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN, DIE FOR UKRAINE. BUT IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT UKRAINE. IT'S ABOUT... NO, IT'S ABOUT RUSSIA AND TAKING IT DOWN. YES, BUT FOR THE GLOBALISTS, IT'S ABOUT THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER. BEYOND RUSSIA. YES. and taking it down. Yes, but for the globalists, it's about their new world order.

Beyond Russia, yes. And they're willing for us to die, Doc, to get what they want. And casually talk about it. That's what gets me. Like we had in our conversation with Dr. Abugazela last week. I mean, just the casualness about it.

Russia has also expressed concern regarding Sweden and Finland's entrance into NATO. And they've made it clear once again, this is a story from Reuters. Russia says Finnish entry to NATO poses threat to which it will respond. Not may respond, but it will respond to. Doc, I predicted this over two months ago. I said, I guarantee you the battle is going to move

from Ukraine to Finland. And I said that sometime and I'm thinking February, early March, and here we are. Now Finland is joining NATO and Russia says, okay, so be it. You've now become a nuclear target. Right.

So Russia said on Thursday that Finland's bid to join NATO was a hostile move that definitely posed a threat to its security. The Kremlin said it would respond but declined to spell out how, saying this would depend on how close NATO moves military assets toward the 800-mile Finnish-Russian border. The Russian foreign ministry said Russia would need to take retaliatory steps, both of a military, technical, and other nature, in order to stop threats to its national security arising. So they're making it very clear that this admission by Finland into NATO is being defined by Russia as a hostile move to them. Now, Taos is also reporting that, oh, and continue on with that,

asked what form Russia's response would take. Peskov replied, everything will depend on how this NATO expansion process plays out, the extent to which military infrastructure moves closer to our borders. And so NATO is seeing this as opportunity as well to expand their military operations and continue to press against Russia. At the very least, Doc, Russia will move nuclear armed missiles to the Russian-Finnish border. Right. And so Finland suddenly will become a target

for Russian nukes, which it wasn't up until now. Right. But by playing into the NATO narrative, Finland now comes within the gunner sites of the Russian military. And Finland could have continued to live at peace with Russia, but they've been pulled in to this narrative that the NATO war planners have carefully built and are convinced that they can carry out their plan with or without nuclear war. And if we end up in nuclear war, these guys think they're going to survive it. And they'll emerge from their bunkers and rebuild the world.

The rest of us will be collateral damage. And look, it has no, nuclear war does not discriminate. It doesn't care about skin color. It doesn't care about gender. It doesn't care about political affiliation. Nuclear war will wipe out all of us. And so if you're on the political left or the political right, you should be outraged that our leaders are taking the world to war, not just war, but nuclear war. It's not even debatable about whether this is going to be a nuclear war. It's in the headlines every single day. This is going to be a nuclear war.

Everybody that, you know, you got caught up into the Zelensky idol worship and defend Ukraine, are you ready to die for Zelensky? Let me ask you a question. Are you ready to die for Zelensky? Yeah, it's one thing to put a flag on your Twitter profile.

It's quite enough to lay down your life for another country that's right Zelensky is going to get you killed he's going to get your family killed so snap out of it and start telling the politicians you better back off this

beating your war drum we don't want war with Russia nobody wins absolutely beating a war drum. We don't want war with Russia. Nobody wins. Absolutely no. The only winners in this nuclear war will be vultures. If they survive it. That's the only winners.

The vultures that will eat the carcasses. There's no winners in this thing. It's unthinkable. And NATO continues to press against Russia and continues to do the little jabs every once in a while. In another statement, Dmitry Peskov also warned against attempts to interfere in Russia's special operations in Ukraine. He says that Moscow will be ready to give the most resolute response, if any, side ventures

to interfere in Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. We first of all proceed from the statements that the president, Russian President Vladimir Putin, has made since February 24th that Russia will be ready to give the most resolute response to the side, which will try somehow to get into Ukraine and get into the special military operation that the Russian armed forces are currently conducting in Ukraine, the Russian presidential spokesman said. And commenting on the issue of a potential Russia-NATO direct clash, the Kremlin spokesman said that all want to avoid this scenario. Both Russia wants to

avoid it, and statements to this effect have been repeatedly made by NATO and, most importantly, by Washington, including at the highest level. Such statements have been made by U.S. President Joe Biden. This is what everyone would want to avoid, Peskov said. Well, those are the statements, Rick, but the statements haven't matched up with the actions, have they? No, they haven't. And Vladimir Putin today said the West is willing to sacrifice everybody, the whole world, in its quest for global domination.

And I have to agree with him on this. That's exactly what we're saying here today. The NATO war planners, the international banksters, the globalists who are behind this war are counting. on their belief that they can win a nuclear war and destroy Russia and go on to build a global new world order without Russia. I'm just, you know, they're betting, like you said, they're betting the farm on this. This is a nuclear chicken that they're playing. Vladimir Putin had this to say, the culpability for the global consequences of sanctions against Russia, including possible hunger in a number of countries, rests with Western countries who, for the sake of their domination, are ready to sacrifice

the rest of the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on economic issues Thursday. He also noted that a number of countries are already encountering the threats of hunger. And if the sanctions against Russia continue, the EU may also encounter consequences which would be difficult to reverse. He said, quote, the blame for this entirely and completely rests with the elites of the Western countries who, for the sake of preserving their global domination, are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world, the Russian leader said. And he makes a good point there, Rick. If there were no Russian sanctions, would we be encountering all these various global supply chain issues

and encountering all the hunger issues that are popping up? And the energy, the spike in energy prices, it's all direct result of the Western sanctions on Russia. And higher energy prices means higher food prices, and the dominoes keep going down the line. That's right. Russia also made a statement that they want the West to stop promoting a unipolar world. In other words, a world ruled by one country, the United States of America. to stop promoting a unipolar world. In other words, a world ruled by one country, the United States of America.

The statement was made by Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia. It says Russia hopes that after its targets of the current special military operation in Ukraine are reached, that the West will halt its drive for the unipolar world and stop violating the principles of the un charter russian foreign ministry sergey lavrod said on wednesday we hope that after our special military operation is completed and all the set tasks within its frames are reached it would help to stop west's attempts to undermine the international law and to halt its blunt violations of the u.n charter provisions including blunt violations of the UN Charter provisions, including the principle of the sovereign rights of countries, and will force the West to stop promoting the so-called unipolar world dominated by the United States and its allies." Lavrard

said this at a news conference following his meeting with Foreign Minister of Oman Saeed Badr Abou Saadi in Oman capital city of Muscat today so dr. Russian military had a suffered a major defeat today as troops were crossing a river and according to reports in Western news media it couldn't find any confirmation of it in in Russian news media but Western European news media reporting that Ukrainian military forces devastated a Russian battalion as they crossed the river. So, you know, last week we saw reports in American newspapers where American intelligence officials were openly bragging that US intelligence assets were being used to assist the Ukrainians to attack Russian

military forces right including naval ships artillery and several different things so right so if if the Russians conclude that the u.s. is actively involved in these attacks by providing the the intelligence of satellite imaging imaging GPS coordinates so forth Russia will conclude that the United States is actively participating in a war to kill Russian soldiers. And at that point, Russia will declare war on the USA. The declaration of war could come in the next seven days. That's how close we are, Doc, that the Russians declare war on the United States of America.

Will that wake up the American people? Will they yawn and just blow it off and get back on social media and ignore it? Will they ignore reality until the nuclear bombs explode? And when you see images like this, you know that Ukrainians had assistance. You know it. I mean, it's odd they don't have that kind of capability no so the russian army has all lost almost an entire battalion as it tried to cross a river in eastern ukraine an estimated 50 vehicles including tanks

boats and armored personnel carriers were destroyed and possibly a thousand troops killed in a single set of strikes by Ukrainian forces. In what has been described as some of the heaviest fighting of the war, artillery bombardments and airstrikes devastated the battalion as it attempted to use a pontoon bridge to cross the Siversky-Donets River on Sunday. The attack on the banks of the river, which runs west to east between the separatist provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk has dealt a significant blow to Russian forces as they fail to make meaningful gains across the Donbas region.

That's what The Times is saying right now. You've got to remember, too, that we're getting limited information on that, and some of that information is going to be shaded. It's propaganda information. But we do know that the Ukrainians do not have the capability to take down a world power. That's right. We know that. Although the media would paint Zelensky as this most intelligent war commander that's been around for a century or so and that the

ukrainians are the bravest people fighting in the world so doctor last week we we showed a photograph of um shanghai with red skies what day was that there was that uh well that's the beginning of this week i think we showed it the beginning of this week? I think we showed it at the beginning of this week, but it actually occurred over the weekend, I believe. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so we talked about it on Monday. It happened on Saturday in Shanghai. The sky over Shanghai turned blood red, and it sparked fear in the population. People wondered, what does this mean?

And there were reports of children saying to their parents, I'm afraid. It was an eerie look. It wasn't there for just a few minutes. It was there for hours and hours as the sky looked like it was soaked in blood. Well, one of our True News supporters sent us a link to a historical recording. And we're going to just play a segment of it. It came from CBS Radio in, I believe, September of 1939. Yes, September 1st, 1939.

And it was a live radio report giving an update on a speech by Adolf Hitler. Yes. And, of course, the United States was not in World War II at that point, but World War II had already started in Europe. But the USA was not in that war. We didn't enter the war until December 7, 1941, or December 8, as the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on the 7th of 1941. But at the close of this radio report,

the CBS anchorman made a cryptic comment about the skies over New York City. Let's listen to this 1939 CBS radio report. And so at this time, a new and historic day is now dawning in America, a day which begins with the German bombing of the Polish capital city of Warsaw and Polish frontier cities. How the day will end, no one yet knows, of course, but as we learn, we shall tell you, keeping abreast of the swiftly moving European developments. Of course, our program schedule is subject to interruption at all times throughout the day to bring you the latest news from Europe as we receive it in America and as we can call in our representatives abroad and bring you the word direct from Europe.

And as we've been talking, New York is greeting an extraordinarily colorful dawn. A moment ago, I glanced through our glass-enclosed studio and looked over to the east. The sky there was red. It seemed odd. Bob Trout speaking. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. It seemed odd. Bob Trout speaking. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. It seemed odd.

It seemed odd. He had an omen. He was reporting about war, doing a news show, CBS Radio, doing a news report about the beginning of World War II. And he looked out the window at the sky of New York City and it was red. And he said, it seemed odd. It was an omen. There was a sign from heaven.

A great suffering bloodshed war is coming. So that was September of 1939. America was not into World War II until December of 1941. That's two years. Are we looking today with China having a blood sky over Shanghai? Is nuclear war with China two years away? Or is it two months away? We don't know.

But these signs have been given to people. And you have to wonder, on that day in 1939, how many people looked at the red sky over New York and said, God, what are you saying to us? This is unusual. Should we be concerned? Or did the people just go about their day and ignore it, like they're ignoring the warning

signs today? But I will show you another story. This is from a U.S. Navy news site. This is that China is preparing for a new Pearl Harbor on the American Navy. And they're fleshing this out. They're planning this out. They're doing all the actions regarding it out in a desert in China. And the name of the article here,

a great wall of naval targets discovered in Chinese desert. And these images here that you're going to see, we're going to share some others with you here in just a moment. China has been honing its ship-killing skills for potential future conflicts on new targets in a remote desert, and that's according to new satellite photos reviewed by USNI News. New analysis shows the People's Liberation Army is testing the ability to hit ships in port with long-range ballistic missiles. Now, since USNI News reported China has been building aircraft carrier targets in

the Takmalakan Desert, other target sites have emerged forming a string of large-scale target ranges running along the eastern edge of the desert, according to new satellite photos. Several of these are naval and two have layouts that appear to be modeled on ships in port. Now one of these, it says, eight miles southwest of an elaborate aircraft carrier layout, a site with full-scale piers and a destroyer-sized ship-like target was constructed in December. A test missile hit a dead center on a ship replica in February, and then the target was then quickly disassembled and is now gone, according to more recent images.

Now, this new target was discovered as part of the research into aircraft carrier targets, which have been found by all-source analysis, with more details revealed by high-resolution satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies. Another similar naval base target was found about 190 miles southwest by Damien Simons, an independent defense analyst. This location was built in December 2018 but had escaped notice until now. The pier layout is similar to the destroyer-like site and it also includes ship targets with one in the same place as the latest target. Now, the nature, location, and strikes on these sites all suggest

the targets are meant for testing ballistic missiles. These hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile systems are an increasingly significant threat to warships. China is known to have been developing several ASBMs. Two types, the DF-21D and the df-26 are land-based but another type designation unknown is carried by the h-6 bomber and there is now confirmation that the type 055 ren high class cruiser can launch a smaller one provisionally identified as the yj-21 damian simon said that there are signs of sophisticated targeting the

layout of the targets are very calculated he said the orientation shapes and sizes are consistent across multiple targets there is nothing haphazard about these sites China is actively preparing for a future confrontation Rick this is still of some of the locations that we spoke about. China has been working on this, and now we're discovering California, Jacksonville, Florida, Norfolk, Virginia, major U.S. naval installations. And again, the American people do not see it coming. The Chinese are practicing and they plan to carry out the attacks.

Yes. It's surreal that we're watching this happen and there's no alarm whatsoever in the American people. THIS HAPPENED AND THERE'S NO ALARM WHATSOEVER IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THERE'S NO ALARM AMONG THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COUNTRY. AND THERE'S NO ALARM AMONG THE CHURCH EITHER. NO. YOU AND I HAVE BOTH BEEN INFLUENCED BY HENRY GRUBER AND DEMETRI DUDAMAN, WHO BOTH HAD VISIONS REGARDING ATTACKS ON AMERICA BY SOVIET, I mean, Russian forces, by Chinese forces. So that has influenced us in looking at these things, considering these things as possible warnings for what may happen in the future.

You know, decades ago when these visions first started coming out, it was hard to even imagine how could that happen? How could those things happen? FIRST STARTED COMING OUT, IT WAS HARD TO EVEN IMAGINE HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN? HOW COULD THOSE THINGS HAPPEN? AND YET, WE SEE THOSE SCENARIOS PLAYING OUT NOW IN, YOU KNOW, JUST DAY TO DAY. AND IT SHOULD GIVE US PAUSE, THAT GOD DOES GIVE HIS PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE.

HE WARNS THEM. HE TELLS THEM, BE PREPARED. SO, DOC, WHEN GOD CALLED ME INTO THIS MINISTRY IN 1998, I SPENT THE FIRST YEAR IN 98 that he warns them he tells them be prepared so doc when God called me into this ministry in 1998 I spent the first year in 98 and the first half of I left my job at TBN right early September 1998 and I traveled around the United States until the spring of 1999. And I spoke in churches and hotel rooms, any place where people would listen. But there were others traveling around too. You mentioned some of them. Henry Gruber, who passed away last year. Demetri Dudeman, who has also gone home with

the Lord. There were many others who were traveling around the United States in the late 90s and early 2000s. And they attracted crowds, packed out rooms. Christians went to see them, to hear them, to pray, to repent after they heard the messages. This is late 90s, early 2000s. There was an awareness inside American Christians. God is warning us. He's preparing us. We need to get our souls ready.

We need to get our families ready. We need to get our homes ready to survive whatever's coming. Here we are now in the 2020s. Those men are gone. I'm still here. I'm one of the last ones still here that was in that wave of watchmen telling America to repent. I'm still here. But the people aren't listening. We have people who are listening online. But you can't get a crowd now. If you went out on a circuit of speaking, you wouldn't get a crowd. No.

Nobody would show up. Because they've been anesthetized. They've been put to sleep. The church has been put to sleep yes and how were they put to sleep entertainment social media social media and entertainment they've been they've been lulled to sleep and they have no sense of alarm whatsoever. They're not praying. They're not witnessing for Christ. They're not prepping. Just the physical act of prepping with supplies. They're not doing that. They don't take anything seriously anymore. It's a very bizarre time spiritually to be alive.

And I don't know if anything will wake them up at this point other than calamity. It seems like they don't see anything left. It's just calamity. A massive shock to the system and you know whether we get a wake-up call that snaps the country out of its delusion or or whether it's just a knockout punch i don't know i don't know which one it's going to be um but even a calamity would have to be significant right now to get the american people to snap out of the coma that they're in. Right. And in particular, the church itself.

Yeah. So, well, we continue to be the watchman and continue to look at the things that are happening here. Hey, we got some news, Doc, no longer ship Russian natural gas via the Yama pipeline through Poland this is a big story it's not getting a lot of coverage today but this is a really big story Russian gas stopped flowing today yes and this is the in the sanctions, now Russia is responding with its own sanctions. It says Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Thursday it would no longer be able to export gas through Poland via the Yamal-Europe pipeline after Moscow imposed sanctions against the firm that owns the Polish section of the pipeline.

A ban on transactions and payments to entities under sanctions has been implemented, Gazprom said in a statement. For Gazprom, this means a ban on the use of a gas pipeline owned by Europol Gaz to transport Russian gas through Poland. And what were the conditions of that? Well, conditions of that is that Russia demanded payment in rubles. They refused to do that, and so Russia shut off the pipeline. How quickly will there be impact on Poland? It may be many, many months, according to the reports

I read, because the Polish officials are saying that they have have plenty of of gas in reserve now this is from commerce newspaper in moscow uh poland announced its readiness to disconnect from the yamal europe gas pipeline we have a few quotes from the story right so poland's ready to do without gas supplied from germany via the the Yamal Europe gas pipeline. This was announced by the Minister of Climate and Environment of Poland, Anna Moskow. Gas storage facilities in Poland are now 85% full. The gas that we received through a connection with Germany is not only Russian gas, but gas from the market, the minister said at a briefing. We are ready for the option without this connection with Germany.

In this scenario, the closure of the Yamal pipeline, we will function. Now, according to the minister, Polish gas storage facilities are now at 85%. Liquefied natural gas supplies will last until the end of the year. And in addition, by 2023, the Baltic pipe gas pipeline with a capacity of 10 billion cubic meters will be launched, which connects the country with gas fields in norway of course you're assuming that uh it won't be a nuclear radioactive waste by that time as well well let's look at they're claiming they have 85 capacity in their gas storage facilities and they'll take it to the end of the year.

But what happens after the end of the year? Well, the end of the year, okay, so by 2023, the pipeline, there'll be another pipeline, the Baltic pipeline, that will be launched. Well, it's not going to be launched on January 1st. There will be a gap in there. So there's going to be a gap between when Poland's gas reserves run out and this Baltic pipeline begins working. But it only takes one special forces commando operation to blow up the pipeline.

Right. And then what do you do? What happens to Poland then? If that new pipeline is blown up, we're in a war. You have to consider energy pipelines are going to be destroyed. And it's surprising it hasn't happened yet.

No. That you haven't seen some sort of, quote, terrorist attack on a pipeline or something like that. Here in the U.S., we have our own terrorist attack on pipelines from the White House. Yes, the Biden administration. Pipelines. And so, and that's not the only thing they're doing, Rick. Joe Biden talks about the, you know, the idea that our gas prices are going up, we're going to do whatever we can to increase production. And then you see stories like this. Biden administration cancels Alaska oil and gas lease sale. They want the prices to go up. What other explanation

can there be at a time when energy prices are at an all-time high level in America, and the president then takes an action to make it worse? What can be the explanation?

Then they turn around and say, drive electric. Okay. It's like Marie Antoinette saying, let them eat cake. I mean, it's just nuts that they would have that kind of response. Not everybody's going to get an electric car tomorrow. Right. And electric cars cost a lot more than gasoline cars. And so now in this particular article from CBS News,

the Biden administration has canceled one of the most high profile oil and gas lease opportunities pending before the Interior Department. The decision, which halts the potential to drill for oil in over one million acres in the Cook Inlet in Alaska, comes at a challenging political moment when gas prices are hitting painful new highs. It goes on to say in a statement shared first with CBS News, the Department of the Interior cited a lack of industry interest in leasing in the area for the decision to not move forward with the Cook Inlet lease sale. The department also halted two leases under consideration for the Gulf of Mexico region because of conflicting court rulings

that impacted work on these proposed lease sales. Now, federal law requires that the Department of Interior stick to a five-year leasing plan for auctioning offshore leases. The administration had, until the end of the current five-year plan, set to expire at the end of next month, to complete these lease sales.

So it's hidden in that. What I'm hearing in it is they're blaming the oil companies for not wanting to do it. Well, why would the oil companies do it? The administration has put every roadblock possible to keep oil companies from doing what they do, produce oil. We talked about it yesterday, Doc.

Barack Obama and then his flunky Joe Biden. And really, the Biden administration is simply... Obama 2.0. It's Obama retreads. Yes. Most of the people in the Biden administration are Obama retreads. Right. And so we're getting Obama's third term that he's living through Joe Biden.

And we're getting the Obama energy policies, which is bankrupt. Fossil fuel. Fossil fuel. Yes. energy policies, which is bankrupt fossil fuel. Drive up the price of energy, force the people to cut back on their driving, their use of electricity, make it painful, and then they will accept the changes that the radical environmentalists want.

Right. So don't let them blame Vladimir Putin for the $5 to $6 gallon of gasoline that Americans are paying for right now. It's $6 in New York City right now. Right. So in this article here from CBS News, who are we blaming? We're not blaming Putin in this article, are we? Now we're blaming the oil companies. The oil companies just don't want to drill. Blaming everybody but Joe Biden. Right. His administration has been a disaster. I mean, I can't think of one good thing

Joe Biden has done since January 20th when he went in the White House last year. I can't think of anything. It's been a disaster. Everything he's touched has been a failure. And the American people are paying a price for it. And families are paying a price. The poor are paying a price. They pay the biggest price. Absolutely.

They pay the biggest price. When energy prices go up, that impacts food prices, that impacts the poor, greater than any other segment of society. We have this story out of Tucson, KGUN. It gives you an idea of where the farmers are at on all this. They're having to deal with higher diesel prices, higher fertilizer prices. And in this particular article, farmers have to worry about budgets like any other business owner. And they're quoting a farmer here. This year, I've already exceeded last year's budget for fertilizer, shared farmer and Marana Town Councilman John Post.

Post says his costs have gone up across the board. So even though he is selling wheat, cotton, and corn at higher prices, the budget is not bouncing out like it should. He said the fertilizer price took every hope of profit out of there and added costs to it, he said about his wheat crop. The rising price of corn will lead to higher prices for the many items made with corn byproducts, but Post claims that is not even the worst part. Post paints an even more ominous picture. He says farmers and ranchers will need to scale back operations to offset cost. He says, I think we're facing severe shortages for food

in the next year for sure, he added. We've got a short video from that interview. This was again, Tucson broadcaster KGUN. Meat is expected to get even more expensive and one local farmer says we may soon be facing more serious food shortages. Good evening. Thank you for joining us. I'm Pat Parris. And I'm Heidi Laga. Night on Your Signs. Brian Brennan looked into the farm industry's rising costs. There are all sorts of contributing factors that can lead to rising costs for food items, even food shortages. One thing that could cause a major ripple effect, the price of corn. A farmer in a field may look like a charming scene, but they have to worry

about budgets like any other business owner. This year, I've already exceeded last year's budget for fertilizer. Farmer and Marana Town Councilman John Post says his costs have gone up across the board. So even though he is selling wheat, cotton and corn at higher prices, the budget isn't balancing out like it should. Well, the fertilizer price just took every hope of a profit out of there and added cost to it. The rising price of corn will lead to higher prices for the many items made with corn byproducts, but Bo says that's not even the worst part. It's also animal feed, right? Cows, chicken, pigs, all that kind of stuff. So you're talking about a product that has the supply of or the lack of has huge ramifications for our country.

The war in Ukraine also reportedly added to the strain on the global market for corn and other grains. So it's kind of economics 101. If the supply tightens, the price goes up. Arizona Farm Bureau Outreach Director Julie Murphree agrees more expensive corn will lead to more expensive meat products. Where this impacts you and I as consumers is we're going to see a continuing increase in meat prices in the meat market. But and we've maybe already felt that pinch. Post paints an even more ominous picture. He says farmers and ranchers will need to scale back operations to offset costs.

I think we're facing severe shortages in food in the upcoming year for sure. Post says instead of supply chain issues making it hard to put products on the shelves, the next round of shortages will be from there just not being enough food produced. If that's not an ominous warning, sounds like it's right out of the Bible, doesn't it? Yes. What did Jesus say would be signs of the second coming? Famines. Famines, pestilence, wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes. We've entered that time, the perilous times,

and the earth is groaning. Creation is groaning under the weight of mankind's sin. And we're just going to see more turbulence throughout the world as this whole world begins to break apart. It's literally coming apart at the seams. It's breaking up it's not it's not capable of handling the weight of mankind's sin and the only way out is up amen the only way out of this is up is to be lifted up into the air to meet the Lord Jesus Christ who's coming. I want to encourage you to get your mind, get your soul focused on the second coming of Christ.

How often do you think about the second coming? How much time do you spend? How much space in your mind does the Lord's second coming occupy? It ought to be your heart's desire. And I want to encourage you to read the second edition of my book, Final Day, the 10 characteristics

of the second coming of Jesus Christ. It will make you long and hunger for the return of Jesus Christ. This is not a scary book. I don't think there's anything in a doc as scary. No, it's a good book. If you know Christ, it's not scary. It wasn't written to frighten anybody.

But I do believe it will make you long and hunger for the second coming of Jesus Christ. You'll look around at this world and go, this thing, there's nothing left here anymore. This world is just stained with sin. It's defiled. There's no hope for it. The only hope is the blessed hope,

Here's a story from Minneapolis. Minneapolis Pet Resource Center asked for donations amid pet food supply shortages.

Right, and so what's happening in different areas around the country is people are actually giving up their pets because they can't get enough food for their animals. And so they're now seeing a rise in animals being given to local shelters, and they believe that's a direct correlation between pet food shortages that are taking place. I don't know if you saw a picture here the other day.

It was down here in South Florida. There was a dog that was tied up to a hydrant in a basket with all of his toys and stuff and a note on it saying, I can't feed my dog. Really? Yeah. And so these are things, too, you have to consider as well, that as we move forward, it's not just going to be shortages in the supply chain for people, but for the animals that we love as well.

I saw a story today out of Canada. A woman requested assisted suicide because she said, I can't afford to live anymore. And I believe you'll hear a lot more stories like that too, Rick. It's tragic. These are the decisions, the decisions that the global elites make. You don't get counted in the calculus. So you don't have food?

No problem. As long as we have food, we're good. They don't care. You're collateral damage. Right. YOU DON'T GET COUNTED IN THE CALCULUS. SO YOU DON'T HAVE FOOD? NO PROBLEM. AS LONG AS WE HAVE FOOD, WE'RE GOOD. THEY DON'T CARE. YOU'RE COLLATERAL DAMAGE. RIGHT. BUT YOU'RE NOT COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

AND WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. WE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH WILL GET THROUGH THIS PERILOUS TIMES. WE WILL BE, WE WILL THRIVE UNTIL CHRIST RETURNS. YES. AND THRIVING MEANS, perilous times. We will thrive until Christ returns. And thriving means it doesn't mean that you're driving around in a luxury automobile and lounging all day in a swimming pool patio. That's an incorrect view of thriving. We will thrive

meaning we will have more than enough to do an incorrect view of thriving. We will thrive, meaning we will have more than enough to do God's will in our life. We'll have more than enough so that we can share with others who are in need. God's church will get through these perilous times.

And so put your faith and your confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. Learn to be a giver, be a cheerful cheerful joyful giver and watch how God responds to your faith in him your generosity it'll make him smile and when he smiles at you good things come upon you his favor is upon you when he's smiling from heaven upon you. And how do you make him smile? By being generous, by being kind, by helping others.

Because it says you're being like him. You're taking on his nature. And it makes him happy. And when he's happy towards you, good things happen in your life. And he will take care of you. You'll get through these difficult situations that we're all going through right now also baby yes doctor i was just going to say one of the stories we've been following in the past couple weeks has been this shortage of baby formula and it begs the question you know there are supply chain issues

because of different things going on in the world. And then there are those supply chain issues that you have to kind of take a step back and say, why is there a shortage here? And so a particular baby formula maker said it could take up to 10 weeks, 10 weeks to get product back in stores from infected facility now and that's a habit Abbott laboratories and they had they had a they had a problem where they had to shut down production because some babies were were infected with tainted formula. Right. But I don't believe that shutting down just one or two of their facilities

has created this massive national shortage. I don't believe that. I don't think so either. In this particular article, the owner of a key baby formula manufacturing plant said Wednesday it is looking to restart its plant in as little as two weeks, but said it could take between six to eight weeks to get formula products back on store shelves once production gets going again. Now, the shutdown of the facility, owned by Abbott Labs and located in Sturgis, Michigan,

has prompted a severe shortage of infant formula, including Similac, Alimentum, and Elecare. The plant was shut down in February pending a federal investigation into the deaths of two infants and reports of illnesses among children who consume certain baby formula products. The plant remains closed. Now, the plant remains closed under federal order,

not by Abbott Labs. And so that's one key factor about it. So keep that in mind. Well, the feds could also lift that order so that there could be baby formula being produced. And that's something the White House could do right now if they wanted to. Well, Doc, as moms are going to grocery stores

finding empty shelves where there used to be containers of baby formula in south texas where illegal immigrants have come across the border with their children there's plenty of baby formula compliments of the u.s government the biden administration right rick this story has really stirred up a lot of discussion online. GOP rep says illegal migrants sent pallets of hard-to-find baby formula. And pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to GOP representative.

They're sending pallets of baby formula to the border. Representative Kat Kamek of Florida said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday, meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula. We have that video of Representative Kamek here. Absolutely have to share with you right now is the craziness of the empty shelves Biden movement and the fact that they are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border. Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula. This is a picture from a target. Oh, it's upside down. Sorry. Okay. We literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country. Moms are

struggling going from store to store to store. And then the stores are actually capping the amount of baby formula that they will sell them. But, and this got sent to me by a border patrol agent this morning and said, this is disgusting. You will not believe this. They're receiving pallets and more pallets of baby formula at the border. This was taken at Ursula processing facility, where thousands are being housed and processed and then released subsequently into the United States. So think about this. This is what America last looks like. This is 100% what it looks like. The America last policy, and that's a trending term right now.

And we have a, she shared some photos there. We'll show you first the photo of the pallets that are being shipped down to the border. That was what she was showing there on her particular video. And she also showed the example of a local grocery store. This is what it looks like for Americans when they go to their local grocery store down the street. But if you come across the border illegally, plenty of baby formula there, Rick.

Doc, what we have here, the Biden Democrats, they care more about Ukrainian security than the American security. They'll defend the Ukrainian border, but not the American border. They'll feed Ukrainian babies. They will. They ship food to Ukraine. They care more about illegal immigrants than American babies. They don't care how much you have to pay for energy to fill your car or truck with gasoline or diesel. They don't care. All right. This is these are the facts.

The reality of the Biden Democrats. They don't care how much the American people suffer for their policies. Their policies are intended to make you suffer. It's not unintentional. The policies are intentional. They want the shortages. They want the pain. They've crafted and implemented policies to create the pain. What are they doing? They're breaking down society. Yes, and that's their plan, to break down society. They'll send $40 billion to Ukraine for lethal aid, but they

won't aid babies here. And so, well, the last news item that we kind of got here, Rick, and I don't know if you've had an opportunity to look at this or not. I did. Randy Weaver passed away. Those of you who remember him, he's the man, this is the infamous Ruby Ridge standoff with the FBI. I knew Randy Weaver. He was not the evil man that the US government and the news media painted

him to be he told me the story of how the FBI entrapped him it was a sting operation yes they they set him up to do something that was against the law. Ruby Ridge, during the days of Bill Clinton, Ruby Ridge is when I started to fear the US government. I'd have to say the same thing too. The first time I ever to fear the U.S. government. I'd have to say the same thing, too. The first time I ever feared the U.S. government, what made me fear the U.S. government? An FBI sniper shot Randy Weaver's 14-year-old boy in the back.

Right, and then? And then his wife. Who was armed only with her baby. Armed with her baby in her arms and shot her, too. Yes. Now, Randy Weaver is gone. But Ruby Ridge, that story needs to be told without the propaganda. Yes. I'd have to agree with you. The story of the Weavers and Ruby Ridge, I was a young pastor then out in Kansas, and it was probably the moment in time that signified a definite change in me, that I started thinking about things in a whole different light.

He went up in the mountains to be left alone, but the FBI would not leave him alone. Right. Rest in peace, Randy Weaver. But you know what? They went after the Weavers and others like them, much the same way the FBI has been going after these parents showing up at school board meetings. That's right.

I wonder if the FBI agent who murdered his 14-year-old son and his wife. I wonder if that man's ever repented for his murders. Has anybody ever told that FBI sniper, you're a murderer? You murdered a

14-year-old boy and you murdered an innocent mother holding her infant. You're a murderer. And you have to repent before Almighty God or you will spend eternity in the lake of fire with all other murderers. I don't want to hear this stuff.

I did it for the government. I was following orders. Yeah. You don't murder. And that FBI agent murdered two innocent people. America's lust for blood is going to come back home. Just think about that. This country's lust for blood.

The blood of babies. Think about all the blood that's been in this country. And around the world. Yeah. It's going to come back home, and it's staring us in the face right now, and the people don't even see it coming. I am going to continue to

speak and my friends we are about to embark on something big and new in about less than two weeks and I'll give you more details in the next couple days but I am I'm doubling down I'm going to tell people until there's no breath left in me, they need to repent. The American people need to repent and call upon the name of Jesus Christ to save them. I can't give up as long as,

if we're still alive, that means that there's hope. That means it can be stopped it can be turned around if we're still here there's still hope and so I can't give up and I'm just going to continue

to declare the word of the Lord and to call people to repentance and just put it all in God's hand that somehow these dire things do not come to pass even though they're staring us in the face. I appreciate all of you who support us. You are a brave, brave group of people who give so generously to the work of this ministry.

I thank you every day and I thank the Lord every day for what you do for us because I simply couldn't do this work without you. It's through your generosity that we're able to carry on. God bless you so much. Doc and I will be back here tomorrow.

God bless you.
