Ronald Kessler is a former investigative reporter for the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

He also wrote for the New York Times and is a best-selling author for the New York Times, the first family detail secret service agents reveal the hidden lives of the presidents. And also he wrote the secrets of the FBI. Mr. Kessler penned an article for London's Daily Mail that alleges that Joe Biden, as vice president under Barack Obama, ordered his U.S. military attache to keep the briefcase

containing the nuclear launch codes at least one mile from wherever Mr. Biden appeared in public. The reason for the distance was to protect Mr. Biden's image as an everyday guy. Doc Burkhardt is here to discuss this story. We have other stories about Mr. Biden and also the latest on World War III. Doc, I have interviewed Ron Kessler in the past. In fact, I interviewed him regarding the book about the first family detail,

Secret Service agents reveal the hidden lives of the presidents. Ron Kessler, as an investigative reporter, author, he's got authentic connections in Washington. And he has written a number of stories in the past where Secret Service agents have opened up and told him things about what really goes on in the White House. Right. So when Ron Kessler writes anything about operations in the White House, I take him seriously. He's a credible author.

So this story came out today. It's in the Daily Mail. Vice President Biden insisted nuclear football briefcase used for counterstrikes to protect U.S. remain a mile behind his motorcade in Wilmington to preserve his image as a regular Joe. When I sent this over to you today, what was your reaction? Rick, I am very rarely shocked anymore by things. The classified document stuff shocked me.

I have to say, this shocked me again today. Well, the classified documents weren't any farther than his Corvette. That's right. But the nuclear briefcase was a mile away. It just boggles the mind that the thinking of these people at this level. Now, after disclosure of his careless handling of those classified documents, President Joe Biden told Americans

he is really careful about handling the nation's secrets. Now, people know I take classified documents. We know he takes classified documents, classified information seriously. He said, but while Biden was vice president, he engaged in reckless and dangerous actions that threatened our national security far beyond mishandling classified documents. Whenever Biden returned to his Wilmington home, often several times a week, he would insist that the military aid with the nuclear football remain at least a mile behind him in his motorcade. Now, just absorb that statement for just a moment. All right. The reason why you have the nuclear football is to respond to an attack. If the vice president has to respond, think about that as well.

That means the president is out of commission likely at some point. Maybe he was in D.C. Maybe he was assassinated. Who knows? But now it's fallen to the vice president to make a strategic decision about responding to an attack that's already happened or that's impending. Okay. So, Doc, Biden was vice president when this happened, not just once, but multiple times, according to Mr. Kessler. When Mr. Biden would travel somewhere, there's a motorcade for the vice president.

How long do you think that motorcade is? I'm certain it's got to be eight or ten cars at least. I mean... Is it a mile long? If you spread it out, it might be a quarter mile, let's say. Would you spread it out? Of course not.

The idea of a motorcade is to protect the main person, in this case, Vice President Biden. So if the motorcade is stretched out over a mile, they're not protecting, he's up in the lead car. Right. And nuclear football's in the last car. So what I'm saying is, the guy carrying the nuclear football wasn't even close to the motorcade. Who was protecting him? That's a great question. Who was protecting that guy? He's out there by himself, Doc, a mile away. He's got the nuclear launch codes because Biden told him, don't get close to me. So he's traveling by himself, carrying the launch codes. That's a bigger story than... Than the classified documents, in my opinion, yes. Now, Wilmington isn't known.

Wilmington, Delaware isn't known for huge traffic jams. The only traffic they have is the Biden motorcade when it comes in. But even with no traffic, it would have been impossible for the aid to catch up with Biden as he toured Delaware, meaning he would have been unable to launch a counterstrike in the event of a nuclear attack by Russia, China, or maybe even North Korea. Now, as revealed in my book, this is Mr. Kessler's book, The First Family Details, Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents, Secret Service Agents say Biden simply wanted to preserve his image as a regular Joe. A long motorcade would have projected the wrong image. Mr. Kessler is actually pulling this from a book that he wrote over probably 10, 12 years ago.

So this has been out there for a while. We're just now finding out. Mr. Kessler said, oh, yeah, I got a chapter in my book about it from when Biden was in the White House. So people have known about this kind of behavior for a long, long time. It's just, it is shocking. I remember when Bill Clinton was in the White House, he allegedly lost the launch codes. And they don't know how long they were missing. Maybe six months?

Maybe longer? He didn't tell anybody. If you were the president of the United States, and you got your pajamas on, and you're getting in bed, what's the last thing you're placing on the nightstand before you turn off the lights? The nuclear launch codes. That way, if something happens during the middle of the night... You know where they're at.

Yeah. And when you wake up in the morning... You want to make sure they're still on the nightstand. Bill Clinton apparently went six months or longer and couldn't find the launch codes and never told anybody. So who had the launch codes, Rick? Well, he could have just lost them. I mean, he may have pulled them out of his pocket and they just dropped somewhere. Could have been any place. Or maybe one of his girlfriends lifted it from his clothing, or knowing Bill Clinton, if he got a good price for them,

they may have sold them. And I don't rule that out. He'd sell anything. But the point is, he went at least six months without launch codes and never told the military. Nobody in the government knew it. Had we been attacked, the president of the United States did not have the launch codes. In this case, Biden is vice president.

Thank God he wasn't the president, but he is the president now. Right. So is he doing the same thing now? Yeah. That's a great question, isn't it now? It's a valid question. Is he doing it now? Right. So is he doing the same thing now? Yeah. That's a great question. Isn't it now? It's a valid question. Is he doing it now? Let's go back to Mr. Kessler's story.

We talked about the possibility of the president being taken out and Vice President Biden. So in this case, President Obama, never mind that if President Obama had been taken out, the country could have been obliterated by a nuclear attack because of Biden's unparalleled irresponsibility and lack of judgment. What is the nuclear football? Well, the nuclear football is a leather-covered titanium briefcase, business case, that weighs 40 pounds. It's secured with a cipher lock. It contains a variety of secure phone capabilities and written options for launching nuclear strikes that the president may authorize. The president authenticates his identity with codes found on a small plastic card he carries with him. In case the president is incapacitated or has died, an identical nuclear football is

assigned to the vice president. Now, in the event of a devastating threatened attack on the U.S., the president or vice president, as his his backup would confirm his identity to the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon over a secure phone line phone by reading codes from the sealed authenticator system card, also known as the biscuit that he is supposed to carry with him at all times. Let's stop right here. And I don't know the answers to these questions, Doc. But I've got some questions just looking at that. Let's see. The president authenticates his identity with codes found on a small plastic card he carries with him. Okay, apparently that's what Bill Clinton lost.

He lost a card. In case the president is incapacitated or died, an identical football is assigned to the vice president. So in this case, Joe Biden as vice president had those launch cards. Now, in the event of a devastating attack or threatened attack on the U.S., the president or the vice president's backup would confirm his identity to the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon over a secure phone. Who is carrying the phone? Well, I think it's part of the nuclear football. It's a mile away. That's what I'm saying. Yes. If it's a mile away.

He can't even call the Pentagon. Right. Was he going to use his cell phone? Is there another person standing next to Biden with the secure phone, or is it all with the attache who's carrying everything? Well, it seems like it was with the attache, according to the article. So the point I'm making is Biden couldn't even make a secure call to the Pentagon, let alone launch nuclear weapons. He couldn't make the call. Right. Because the secure phone was a mile away.

To me, that in itself is impeachable that is that's malfeasance in office he put at risk 350 million lives because of his incompetence so he could look like a regular Joe

but he is a regular Joe. But he is a regular Joe. You just listen to him talk. He's more like an irregular Joe. It's stunning. And he should have been removed from office for being a threat to the American people. How many people in Washington knew about this and said nothing?

Well, obviously his entourage did. Secret Service did. The Pentagon did. There was a lot of people that knew Rick, and yet it went on. How long was it that you interviewed Ron Kessler? Because if it was in his book, it's been that long ago.

I would tell you it was, that would have been early 2011, maybe 2010. Yeah, 2010, early 2011. All right. So then we're looking in that time range. So people have known since then. Yeah. Well, military leaders and White House national security advisors would brief the president or vice president on the nature of the threat and the options for retaliating, assuming they had the nuclear football. If either man wanted to consult the written options, he could do so. Now, it goes on to say he would then choose a retaliatory option and his command would be read back to him once he confirms the command center would use the military's launch authorization codes to release nuclear missiles so their time time is of the essence in this situation and there's you know there's time involved in all of this and the authentication process too. Now add the fact that you've got to transport the nuclear football from a mile away. Are you driving up?

You running? What are you doing? And you've got to get everything set up. You've got to contact the Pentagon. That can't be easy. If you've been told that the president has been killed. Right. Is there chaos going on right now?

Sure. And aren't they, at that point, if something had happened to the president, they would be securing the vice president. So the Secret Service would go into action and rush him away. Away from the nuclear football. Away from nuclear football. It's a crazy situation. Now, as part of the conference call, the president's told how many seconds or minutes remain if the president would wish to respond before he might not be able to do so because nuclear weapons will hit the White House or his current location, says John Stufflebeam, a former military aide who carried the briefcase. And later oversaw the top secret program called the Sealed Authentication System when he was deputy director for global operations assigned to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Since either the president or vice president would likely have 15 minutes or less to respond militarily to an impending attack before the United States could be wiped out by nuclear-tipped missiles, the military aides who carry the satchels are supposed to be in close proximity to the two leaders at all times. But as soon as Biden, codenamed Celtic, took office in January 2009, he laid down a rule. Instead of the usual retinue of at least 15 vehicles preceded by a police escort in his motorcade whenever he returned home to Delaware, he wanted a Secret Service motorcade of just two. The limousine or Suburban he rode in, plus a single follow-up Suburban behind him with agents. And I guess the nuclear football a mile away. So the motorcade was two cars. Right. Is that a motorcade or is that just

tailgating? I don't know. But the nuclear football was still a mile away. I don't even understand his thinking in this. Why it would change his image. I mean, the whole discussion is stupid, but I don't even understand why he would think the public seeing a military attache walking behind him would harm his image. It would actually enhance his image. I would think so. We'd actually think Joe Biden was important. And how many people think he's important? What worries me is that he's now the man.

And think about who's in his job now. Kamala Harris. Oh, my. She's carrying around job now. Kamala Harris. Oh, my. She's carrying around a plastic card in her purse. Cackling like a hen. All right, laughing at everything, talking about school bosses. Okay. That's frightening there, isn't it?

That's more frightening than Joe Biden as vice president. Well, Rick, I'm worried now. Where are the nuclear launch codes at this moment? Are they a mile away from the White House? I have to ask, don't I? We do. I have to ask. And you have to ask about Kamala Harris.

Yeah, where's her launch codes? Is someone following her around? And does she know what they're for? Does she think it's the lottery number they're a discount card for coals i mean you know you have to wonder with these two i mean when you hear stories like this and this is you know what 14 15 years ago this like i said a few things shocked me more. This shocked me. All right. Well, the next one, this is, I found this is, this is in the Australian newspaper, Hunter Biden laptop, laptop files were real. It says intelligence chief, you know, the ones that wrote the letter that said the Hunter Biden laptop story

was a hoax, a Russian hoax. It had the earmarks of Russian misinformation. Yes. Remember? Oh, yes. And they made a big deal about that. But they put out the misinformation. That's right.

And now they're trying to walk it back. In a big way. The former top U.S. intelligence officials who suggested, wrongly it turned out, that Russia could have been behind embarrassing and potentially incriminating files found on Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020

presidential election all believed significant portions of the content had to be real. They believed it then. They're now saying today we always knew the laptop was real. Right. You talk about spin.

And not only that the laptop was real, but the information that was being released was real. But they still said it was Russian disinformation. But they tagged it. It had the earmarks of Russian misinformation. They were doing it back then. So Douglas Wise, a former deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told The Australian he did not regret signing an October 2020 letter, which Hunter's father and then presidential candidate Joe Biden, Twitter and Facebook had relied on to justify their dismissal and censorship of the New York Post expose on the laptop published in October 2020. Joe Biden relied on their letter when he knew that the emails were real because he's in the emails.

That's right. Well, Mr. Wise says he was not surprised the laptop, which a Delaware computer repair shop turned over to the FBI and Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani after Hunter Biden failed to collect it turned out to be genuine I'm not surprised it turned out to be it was genuine then that's right a fact most of the US media including the New York Times and Washington Post conceded only last year in fact all of us figured out that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible, he said.

Think about that. We have to release real information to blame it on Russian disinformation. He's referring to that 50-plus signatories to the letter, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

So they're now admitting they knew in 2020, before the election, according to his words, a significant portion of the material on the laptop was authentic. They knew it then. Yes. But they said, because they know the way those crafty, sneaky Russians were,

they used truthful things to sneak in their disinformation. So they got their hands on Hunter Biden's real laptop with his real emails in there and his real authentic, perverted photographs and videos. We snuck in a couple of emails. We snuck in a couple of fake emails just to fool the American people and hack the election again.

Well, the letter said it had the earmarks of Russian deceit, and we should consider that as a possibility. I think it had the earmarks of CIA deceit. Now, this is him saying this. It did not say Hunter Biden was a good guy. It didn't say what he did was right, and it wasn't exculpatory. It was just a cautionary letter. No, it was a letter that changed the election. That's what it was.

Do you remember, sorry, Doc, go back to 2016 when Hillary was up to her eyeballs in corruption. And do you remember what was it? The 51 intelligence agencies.

Was it 2016 or 2008? When did they release that? Remember there was like, no, it wasn't 15, it was like 17 intelligence agencies. 17 intelligence agencies said that Russia hacked the election. Right.

Well, who are the 17? We can name CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, NSA. I mean, after you get past number five or six, can you name the rest of them? They never named them. Just 17 intelligence agencies. I mean, you'd think with 17, the Forestry Department has an intelligence agency too. But they gave us no evidence.

And they gave us, there was no official statement from those 17 agencies. Like the CIA didn't issue a statement saying, without a doubt, Russia hacked the election, without a doubt. And even that story has been upended now. Right. Not one of those agencies issued a statement. Not one of them had a press conference that said, we are telling the American people, without a doubt, the Russians hacked the election. None of them. They just made it up.

She made it up. She lied. She made it up. And these people that wrote that letter. They did it again. Yes, and these people, these so-called unintelligent officers, they made it up. They lied. They deliberately lied. They're still lying today. They're lying about their lie. They're lying about the lie. Well, the arrival on the U.S. political scene of emails purportedly

belonging to Vice President Biden's son, Hunter, much related to his time serving on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation, the two-page letter read. That was back in 2020. I don't regret signing it because the context is important. Remember, Giuliani had just been in Ukraine trying to dig up evidence on the Bidens, and he met with a known Russian intelligence official, Mr. Weiss said. The chain of custody of the laptop, he added, made it possible that Russians

or even ill-intended conservative elements could have planted stuff in there. The chain of custody went from the repair shop owner to the FBI. He gave it to the FBI. But he also gave a copy to Rudy Giuliani. Yes, but all the FBI had to do was come out and say

everything Giuliani got is what's on the real deal that we have. They match. And keep in mind too that the computer, this letter came out a year after the computer had been given over to the FBI because Rudy Giuliani had a copy of it for at least a year that we know of. That's right. So, um, now, uh, Biden specifically

ordered the secret, sir. It looks like that's, um, uh, some elements here with, uh, oh yeah. So, well, all right. We, yeah, we got, we got some got some material from the other story mixed in there. Well, obviously this is a big deal here with this, that here they are, they're trying to walk back this story. And he's not the only one. There was an article last week where they were interviewing someone else that they were trying to walk back this letter. Rick, why are they doing this now?

I mean, what's happening here? Why are they suddenly saying, you know, I know we said it was Russian misinformation, and we sincerely believed it at the time. But now, maybe not so much. We knew the information was real. Why now? Why is this happening right now? Because the lie is over.

The general public knows that Biden was corrupt. And these guys have got to find a way out of looking like they covered for Biden. So they're protecting their own reputations right now. Biden's finished. But I think Kamala Harris is finished. I think she'll be finished before Biden. If my hunch is right, she will be removed first. I just can't believe they're going to promote her

up to the presidency. The only thing that scares me about that, there's one thing. There's a 1932 prophecy. Oh, yes. By William Brannon. And don't, please don't send me emails. I know who he was, all right?

People send me emails, you know, like, Rick, do you know who William Brandon was? Yes, I do. I've been doing this show for 25 years. I do know who he is. I do know. And towards the end of his ministry, he got a little squirrely, okay?

He got a little squirrely at the end of his ministry. But there was a time. But there was a time, just like a lot of preachers, you know. Balaam. Balaam was straight at the beginning. Right. Okay. God called him as a prophet.

He got squirrely at the end. Okay. And was still prophesying. Still prophesying. Okay. There's a difference between a false prophet and a corrupt prophet. And a squirrely prophet. Yeah, right, you know?

So anyhow, William Brannan was just a small church pastor in 1932. Now there's a record of this. He spoke about it many times. So you can't say like in the last years of his death, before his death, he made this story up because he spoke about it many times. So you can't say in the last years of his death, before his death, he made this story up because he spoke about it many times. He wrote about it.

I don't know how far back, close to 1932 it's written. I don't know, but I do know he told the story many times. He said he was preparing for his sermon on a Sunday morning. It was March 1932. At that time, the newly elected president was sworn in in the month of March, not January. The new president in March 19, I said 32, 33. The new president who was just sworn in was Franklin Roosevelt. First term. First year of his first term.

The pastor said the Holy Spirit came upon him in a vision and he showed him seven things that were going to happen to America. And the first one, he said, the Lord showed him, this man who is now your president will serve four terms. That was 1933. Nobody had ever, we never had a president serve four terms. But Franklin Roosevelt was elected four terms.

The Holy Spirit told him, the leader of Italy. Mussolini. Mussolini is again, 33. He will be executed by his own people. And his people would spit on him. That's exactly what happened to Mussolini. Then the Lord told him, the man who is now running Germany

will start World War II. They couldn't even imagine a World War II. Yeah is now running Germany will start World War II. They couldn't even imagine a World War II. Yeah, they're just recovering from World War I. And so Hitler had just come to power. And the Holy Spirit tells Pastor Brennan that this new German leader is going to start World War II. So that one came true also. Then the three isms, fascism, Nazism, and communism.

He had that in his prophecy too. And then there was one about the way women would dress, that their clothing, their dress would become obscene, extremely inappropriate. You've got to think about 1933, how women were dressed at that time.

Remember the egg-shaped cars? Oh, yes. He saw people in egg-shaped cars, driverless cars. Right. Driverless cars shaped like eggs. And people were playing games

inside the cars. He said they were being amused by games as they sat in these driverless cars shaped like eggs. And people were playing games inside the cars. He said they were being amused by games as they sat in these driverless cars. Have you looked at cars lately and their shape? We're moving in that direction. Again, it's 1933. And then the last one. Next to the last.

Next to the last, number six, was an evil woman ruled over America. And he said he did not know if this was a physical human woman or a spirit, he didn't know. He just said an evil woman ruled over America. And then number seven was all he saw was the smoking ruins of America. It had burned down. Now, when I think about Kamala Harris is this close to the presidency at a time that the Russians are talking about nuking us.

And they see us as evil and wicked. And as a nation, we have become evil and wicked that really worries me doc that that prophecy is playing out in real time right now now a few years ago we would have suggested that was Hillary Clinton I mean we were talking about that before the 2016 we're here she. Right. And now we're talking about the possibility. And Kamala, which is a Hindu name, means devil. Right. Yeah, she is not African American.

She is of Jamaican and Indian descent. And she's named after an Indian devil god. Yes, she's a devil. That's what Kamala means. And who could be more cruel than the devil? And so did God give us a clue? Hey, guys, you're going to have an evil woman. Her name is going to mean the devil.

It's going to happen just before you get burned to the ground. That's what I'm worried about right now. Because we got this buffoon in the White House. Who has nuclear launch codes a mile away. Well by now he doesn't even know he has launch codes. He probably looks at the card in its pocket and you know tries to remember if it's his key code or not. Can you imagine waking him up at 3 a.m. to tell him that nuclear missiles had been launched from Russia. It would take him 20 minutes to find his teeth. Got me on that one.

No, I'm serious. You're right. I mean, even after his 3 p.m. afternoon nap, it'd be hard to get him adjusted. They're going to have to change his diaper. Just think about, honestly, where he's at, mentally where he's at. And you're going to have hypersonic missiles coming across the North Pole? And you've got a 15-minute window? Not with hypersonic.

Right. Now you're down to eight or 9 minutes. And if they get one of those submarines parked in the Potomac like Mr. Medvedev said, you don't need, it's not, you're not talking about 5 minutes now. Because that's what Medvedev said last week. Yeah, he gave you warning. He said submarine

at the Potomac River. That's right. He did say that. Now you're talking what, maybe a 60-minute ride, 60-second ride for the rocket? It's dangerous. It's very dangerous. We're not laughing about it. This is scary. This is frightening.

So I threw out a couple days ago the possibility that the powers that run this country, the shadow government, the rulers, the ruling class, want to get rid of Biden. They know he's worn out. He's going to cause them more trouble than he's worth. And look, they put him in there as a placeholder to get rid of Trump. Nobody wanted him. He didn't campaign.

He stayed in his basement. And the person that came in last place in the primaries, they made the vice president. The last place in the primaries, they made the vice president. Yes, the last place in the Democratic primaries. They used to be the second, the runner-up. Kennedy chose Johnson because Johnson was running against him in the primaries. Reagan chose Bush

because Bush was number two in the primaries. And they didn't get along. And so you take Biden, and nobody won it, and he picks the one who came in last. Even fewer people won it. And they won. They won the election, and they didn't campaign. Biden sat in his basement.

They locked him up in a basement. I bet he didn't even have a key to get out. I bet they just kept him in there and he watched movies. Probably had Netflix on for six months. He didn't campaign. And the few times he did go out, he only get a crowd of 40, 50 people. And did Kamala Harris campaign at all? I don't remember any giant enthusiastic crowds for Kamala Harris.

But Rick, she could be president. She could be president. She could be president. So I threw out the theory last week that if we look at what they did to Nixon, they wanted to get rid of Nixon, but they couldn't allow

Vice President Spiro Agnew to become president. So they created a scandal for Spiro Agnew to become president. So they created a scandal for Spiro Agnew and they forced him to resign. Then they moved Gerald Ford, 33rd degree Freemason, Speaker of the House. They moved a 33rd degree Freemason into the Vice Presidency under Nixon. So now it's Nixon-Ford. Then they pressure Ford to resign. I mean, they pressure Nixon to resign. Nixon resigned.

Ford moves up into the presidency. And then Ford appointed as his Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, the epitome of the globalists. Yes. Finally, a Rockefeller is in power. They finally got a Rockefeller in. I mean, the whole 1964 Republican battle was between Rockefeller and Goldwater. Right. It was Main Street against Wall Street.

It was the globalists in America against just the middle-class Main Street Republicans. And they defeated them in 64. But they came back. They came back and they got Rockefeller. Without being elected. Without an election. They came back and they got Rockefeller. Without being elected. Without an election, they got him into the vice presidency, Nelson Rockefeller.

So would they do the same play now? Which would mean before they can remove Joe Biden, they have to remove Kamala Harris. And then put a new vice president in. Now, who would be her vice president? It could be Hillary Clinton. They could put Hillary Clinton in as vice president. They could put Michelle Obama in as vice president. Anybody could put, you know, anybody could go in as vice president. And then they force Kamala Harris to resign, and the newly installed vice president, without an election, is suddenly put into the White House as president. Look, as long as Hillary Clinton is still breathing,

you have to have a little bit of fear that she could end up in the White House someday. As long as that gal's still breathing. Don't ever count out the Clintons. Don't count them out. Is there another person out there that's more wicked that we haven't spotted? We're not paying attention to them right now?

Do they have somebody that they're going to spring on to the American people and say, here's your new leader? I don't know. But you found something today because this got you thinking. Right. And how did you even find this? Is this a video? I haven't seen this. This is a video of Gerald Ford.

This is back in 1989, of course. 89? Right. He'd been out of office a number of years and everything. But he was doing a tour in Iowa. I think they were dedicating an old schoolhouse there. And he was there for just one of these general ex-president PR tours, right? And so, but I was looking up some information

on Gerald Ford and then saw this video. And I was like, well, what is this? And it was titled, in a 1989 interview with President Gerald Ford, a young lady asked him to answer the question, what advice would you give a young lady wanting to become to answer the question, what advice would you give a young lady wanting to become president of the United States? It was a little girl, maybe eight or nine years old,

and she's asking. It's not a young lady, it's a young child, an eight or nine-year-old girl. So she's got aspirations. Maybe she wants to be president someday, right? So certainly Gerald Ford said, this is America. Anybody can grow up to become president of the United States.

And little sweetheart, if you study and you work hard and you're a great American, someday you're going to be in the White House. Is that what he told her? Well, you would think he would say something like that. But he responded in the most bizarre way, and it impacts our discussion today. You've got to keep in mind, Gerald Ford was a 33rd degree Freemason. That's right. This interview, it really wasn't an interview, it was a Q&A, is from 1989.

It's from Iowa's Public Broadcasting Service. And just watch the response that Gerald Ford gives to this little girl. Thank you very, very much. It's a very high honor and a very great privilege for me to come to West Branch and to participate in this conference, which is being held here at the Hoover Facilities. Mr. Ford, what advice would you give a young lady wanting to become President of the United States? Well I hope we do have a young lady at some point become President of the United States. I can tell you how I think it will happen, because it won't happen in the normal course of events.

Either the Republican or Democrat political party will nominate a man for president and a woman for vice president. And the woman and man will win. So you'll end up with a president, a male, and a vice president, a female. And in that term of office of the president, the president will die. And the woman will become president under the law or constitution. And once that barrier is broken, from then on, men better be careful because they'll have a hard, hard time ever even getting a nomination in the future. But that's the way it's going to happen and i think it'll probably come sometime in the next four or eight years so here's talking to a group of eight and nine year olds and you're saying

well listen the only way kid you're going to be president is the president's got to die he's got to die that's that's just the way it is that's the most bizarre statement to say to a child. Yes. Even, I mean, I could see him saying that in a private meeting with adults. But a group of children? A, you know, you can't win on your own. You got to hope that the guy that you run with dies. But after that, women would be elected all the time. Okay, so have we had a female vice president elected with a male president? We have.

How many? Just one. And they're in office right now? That's right. So based on Gerald Ford's prediction, 33rd degree Freemason, he said the only way you're going to have a female president is she'll have to be a vice president and the president dies. Do the

Masons know something that we don't know? At the end of his comment there he said I expect it in the next four to eight years. I was 89. Right. So we're looking at the end of his comment there, he said, I expect it in the next four to eight years. I was 89. Right. So we're looking at the, you know, 90s. Well, they tried with Geraldine Ferraro. But that wasn't going to fly.

But the fact that he even made mention of this to a group of kids, but it does fit into what we're talking about today, that President Biden, either the dementia is going to catch up with him or something's going to happen or the scandal is going to finally bite really hard. But my guess is Kamala Harris goes first and she's replaced by another woman. They will have to put another woman in as vice president. There's no way that the Democrats could put in a male as vice president to replace a female. Now, maybe a transvestite. We might get our first transvestite vice president.

Maybe... Michelle? Or Secretary Levine, you know? But I think... No, and I wouldn't rule this out. As, you know, a cross-dresser, a transvestite, a transgendered person becomes, think of the climate right now.

They don't have to have an election. They put the first transgendered vice president in office. And then Mr. Biden's gone. And suddenly you're being ruled by a sexual deviant. All right, I'll throw another one out at you here. All right, the Democrats have got to be looking at the 2024 election. And there's no way, no way Joe Biden is going to be out there, you know, drawing crowds and everything. Whoever the Republican opponent is going to be, whether it's Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, they're going to be stacking up crowds like firewood at those rallies. Joe Biden's not

going to be able to do that. And Kamala Harris couldn't get a school bus excited. I mean, so they've got to be thinking, we've got to have somebody that can directly challenge Donald Trump. And who has been the closest to directly challenging him? Gavin Newsom. Oh, Hillary. Hillary Clinton. Yes. They might be actually thinking,

we've got to move Kamala out of the way, put Hillary in the vice presidency seat, Joe Biden, whatever happens, then she is president. Now you've got a sitting president, Hillary Clinton. And what if she makes Michelle Obama her vice president? Yes. That's a powerful ticket in 24. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama?

They would dig up Democrats to vote for that ticket. And that would be whoever the Republican nominee is, they would be going up against the Clintons and the Obamas. Yes. I mean, that's going to be a tough one to overcome. They certainly won't be in a basement hiding somewhere. No, not at all.

Aside from Hillary Clinton, my first choice that the Democrats would nominate would be Governor Newsom. Well, I think that's a great choice because he'd carry the state most likely, and so. Well, any Democrat's gonna carry California. Plus he's a good-looking Democrat. And they haven't had a good-looking Democrat in a while. So they'd have to, but he's a man,

and I don't know if the Democrats want a man right now. And they may think they, the DNC may think they owe it to Hillary too. Or she may say, you owe it to me. Well, who controls the Democratic Party right now? It's not Joe Biden.

Either the Clintons or the Obamas are in control of the Democratic Party. And maybe it's power sharing too. But it's not Joe Biden. He's not running the Democratic Party. He's just's power sharing too. But it's not Joe Biden. He's not running the Democratic Party. He's just a stand-in. He's just a placeholder. And they're about to remove the placeholder. And we'll wait and see. But now that you see people turning on him. Yes. They're running from him. They know it's gone down and they don't want to be tagged as Biden loyalists. So they're putting distance now between them and Joe Biden.

That's the first sign. When you see people starting to put distance between politician and themselves, you know, politicians in a lot of trouble. Joe Biden's in a lot of trouble. And, you know, Hunter, they can't continue forever to cover up Hunter Biden. It is so deep. And we don't know, with the classified documents,

we still haven't been told what classified documents they found. That's right. After all, it could be nuclear launch codes, right? We heard all the stuff out of, you know, with Donald Trump. But never from a government agency did the Justice Department ever say, oh, we found launch codes. We found nuclear secrets. No, they've never said.

They've never told us anything. If there was anything of any value, we would have heard about it already. But if you watch CNN or MSNBC or listen to any news media talking head, they just say, Trump had nuclear secrets. Trump had this. Where are you getting that information? They're just repeating. Informed sources?

Yes. Oh, you mean like the Steele dossier? You mean like the 51 intelligence agents? You know, they make up their facts and they have unnamed sources and then everybody keeps quoting the unnamed sources until it's ingrained in the mind of the people. And now the propaganda has taken hold. Do you think there's a guy out there named unnamed sources that they just refer to all the time? I guess he is. Let's do some World War III updates right now. DW News from Germany. Zelensky calls for fast.

He wants some now fast tank deliveries. That's right. Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky urged more heavy weapons deliveries from the West following the latest Russian missile attack on Dnipro. In his nightly video address late Monday, Zelensky said a new defense aid package has been announced, exactly what is needed, main battle tanks, other armored vehicles, and artillery. Zelensky also

called for speedier delivery of battle tanks from Western allies. Now, the Ukrainian president said he expected decisions on further arms deliveries during the World Economic Forum in Davos, which began this week, and also from the Ukrainian Contact Group in Ramstein, slated to begin on Friday at the U.S. Air Base in Germany. Now, in Davos, Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska is also expected to address hundreds of political leaders, policymakers, and chief executives. And if I can add to this, Rick, it was announced late this afternoon that Zelensky would, he's not going there, of course, but he'd be appearing by video addressing Davos in the next day or two. So he was added to the schedule this week.

So he'll be addressing them. So Davos World Economic Forum went to another level this year. It started officially today. But this time, they're in the war business. Right. They've moved up from economics now to war. Well, actually, they started just talking about in the early days of the World Economic Forum,

it was just about the economy of Europe. Then, the game, the world. Europe wasn't big enough. Yeah, then the World Economic Forum, and then they got into

transforming society, and this year, they've actually gotten into promoting war. They're really taking on dangerous territory at this point because they're making themselves enemies

of other nations. Nevada basically said it today in a post on Telegram. He said, there are no Russians there. There's no Chinese businesses at Davos this year. Well, Ukraine's economy minister, Yulia Sierendinko, is scheduled to participate in the forum on Tuesday, along with the leader of one of Ukraine's staunchest allies, President Andrzej Duda of Poland, who recently vowed to send Kiev leopard battle tanks.

So the story and everything that's happening at the World Economic Forum this week has been centered around the conflict in Ukraine and about the ramping up of military assets there. Reuters is reporting. This is the Dutch, Netherlands. They're preparing to send Patriot Missile Defense System to Ukraine right now as well.

The Netherlands will send a Patriot Missile Defense System to Ukraine right now as well. The Netherlands will send a Patriot Missile Defense System to Ukraine. Dutch news agency A&P reported on Tuesday, citing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Mr. Rutte is currently in Washington, D.C., meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden. Met with him this afternoon. And after the, you know, they do that fireside video, all the reporters were peppering Joe Biden with questions on the classified documents. He just sat there and smirked. So it drew attention away from Mr. Rudd. So the U.S. gave the Netherlands a U.S. Patriot missile system. Right.

And then the U.S. told the Netherlands, you need to give it. You know that Patriot that we gave you? Now you need to give it to Ukraine. So we're repositioning. But Doc, every time that they reposition the stuff to take it to Ukraine, they've weakened the West in the places that they're supposed to be strong. And these countries are bringing that up, bringing that very thing up. Now,

Bloomberg is also reporting here that Chancellor Schulz, Germany, says he's in talks with allies about also sending tanks to Ukraine. German Chancellor Schulz says he's in talks with allies that were potentially supplying heavy tanks to Ukraine, but cautioned that any announcements would have to come in lockstep with others. Yeah, so he, I think this was in Davos also, that he did this interview. Basically what he said in the interview, and we're going to play the interview, basically what he said was, Germany is willing to send tanks to Ukraine, but the U.S. has got to go first. We're not going to go first. We'll follow the lead of the United States. We got your back. Yeah. So, Mr. Biden, you send tanks, then we'll send German tanks after you send yours. Here's what Mr. Schultz said today at Davos.

In domestic politics, as you know, your defence minister, Christine Lambrecht, resigned. You've just appointed today a new person, Boris Pistorius, and the big issue in front of you is tanks. You have the Leopard 2 tank, and the Ukraine wants them. Ukraine says that it needs those tanks and there are two ways you could get it to them. You could either give them from your own supply of Leopard 2 tanks or you could allow your allies like Poland, countries like that who have bought the tank already to re-export it and I wondered where you would got to on that. Are you prepared to let those tanks go to the Ukrainians? Let me draw the picture. I think after the United States, it is Germany and the UK

that are delivering the most weapons to Ukraine, and we will continue to do so. As you know, we are absolutely active in doing the real hard stuff, and this is the case with all the artillery we delivered, with our howitzers. This is what we did together with the United States and UK when we delivered multi-rocket launches. It is what no one else did.

And we are doing a lot in the question of air defense with our GAPA tanks, with what we did with this IRIS-T system that is now so successful that the whole world is looking at it because it seems to be nearly 100% effective in fighting against missiles and we also decided together with the United States that we will deliver Patriot systems to the Ukraine for the air defense. And in many other fields that are very important, we are doing the necessary stuff.

And shortly before our debates, we decided together with the United States that we will do something with special tanks, the Bradley from the United States, the Marder from Germany. And one message is above all, we always act together with our allies and friends. We are never going alone because this is necessary in a very difficult situation like this. And I'm very much thinking that it is necessary that we are cooperating in this way. And this is why I'm not announcing things which a lot of people are doing. I'm just always thinking about the situation. I'm discussing with the friends and I'm taking the necessary decisions when there is a reason for doing so and one of the aims we are having in all the support we are

giving is that we support the Ukraine as long as it is necessary with all the means we can use but also always avoiding that this war is escalating to a war not between Russia which is the imperialistic aggressor, and Ukraine, who has all the reason for defending its own integrity and it is good for us that we are supporting them, but to avoid that this is going to be a war between Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. So if the Americans and the other Europeans said yes to leper tanks, you would let them go, presumably,

and you would let your ally, people like Poland, re-export them, but only once you have agreed that together. I think it will be something which is going as it is the right way it should go. It is that we are discussing with our friends, with our allies, with the United States, what is the right thing to do. And it is nothing for public debate. I think it's something where we have to work on. And so far we did a lot, as all are realizing. And what we are doing is on the forefront of support of Ukraine.

And let's be this the basis for the decisions that we will have to take in the next weeks and months, because this will be a long war. PETER BAKER There's one area. PETER BAKER Doctor, there was a big, I say not big, a very important meeting of military leaders in Poland. The commander of the Ukrainian military met with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. The meeting took place in Poland. Not much details about it other than this telegram post. Right. So today in Poland, my first personal meeting with General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff happened. I extended my gratitude to General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, happened. I extended my gratitude to General Mark Milley for the unwavering support and assistance provided by the United

States of America and allies to Ukraine. I outlined the urgent needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine meeting, which will accelerate our victory. So I'm thinking that they're preparing for whatever the Russians are getting ready to do. You see these high-level meetings starting to happen now. Well, I'll tell you one thing that we know that the Russians are doing. This next one is Bloomberg also. Russia to boost troops in the West, that's Western Russia, expanding the Russian army to 1.5 million troops. So that's the decision that was announced today in Moscow.

Yeah, creating new commands and everything to defend along the border of Belarus and I believe at some point probably movement into Ukraine. Yeah, and I think they're also bracing for a NATO invasion of Russia. So the buildup is on both sides of the border, and they're expecting a clash. Another really important thing that happened today is that Vladimir Putin submitted a draft to the Russian Duma to terminate Russia's treaties with the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe is something different than the EU.

There's a group of nations that consider themselves the Council of Europe, and it's basically agreements that are made for military movement, for air traffic. But there's still treaties. That's right. And we've got a list of the treaties that Putin is canceling. He's canceling the statute of the Council of Europe.

In other words, Russia's going to step out of the Council of Europe. And so that's what that means. They're leaving the general agreement on privileges and immunities of the Council of Europe, as well as its five protocols.

This all has meaning in the arena of Europe, as well as its five protocols, this all has meaning in the arena of diplomacy. The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and its 10 protocols, they are canceling the European Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism. They are ending their participation in the European Charter of Local Self-Governments, and they are canceling their participation in the European Charter of Local Self Governments, and they are canceling their participation in the European Social Charter. In a nutshell, Russia is decoupling from the West. That's the story here.

They're cutting. They got the scissors, they're cutting every tie with the West. That's where this is going. It is the end of globalization. I've been saying this for over a year. Globalization is dead for now. I don't know how long. Could be a decade, could be three or four decades.

We don't know. The world is changing before our eyes, but globalization is dead. And we're going into a new world order order and there will be at least two maybe three power centers in the coming decade and russia is severing its ties with western europe and the united states of america and all the western nations they'll have no legal ties nothing that they can be tripped over, nothing where the West can say, well, we got you on this one. We're going to activate Article 18, Section B

of that treaty, and we're going to really burn you. They can't do it. They're getting out of the treaties, and they're going to stand on their own. And what we're going to see in the coming years, Doc, is new treaties with the East. Russia will be entering into treaties with China, Asian nations, Africa. Middle East. Middle East and South America.

They'll enter into new treaties. There'll be new power blocks, new alliances and coalitions. The old has died. We have witnessed the death of the post-World War II New World Order. It has died, and it is fighting for its life, but it can't hold on. It's over. The next one, this is from the Express in London, Putin set to make important announcement tomorrow on Ukraine war. There is no details about what this announcement is. Your guess is as good as mine.

And I could not find any other story about it. And the story from Express doesn't have any meat to it other than sources have said he's going to make a major announcement tomorrow. And they've suggested in that article that it might have to do with commemorating the 80th anniversary of the siege of Leningrad. But that leaves things open-ended. He could be making an announcement about the Ukraine war and about further mobilization and things along that line. We'll wait to see.

But it's an important enough announcement. Worst case is that he could be asking the Duma to declare war on Ukraine. So we don't know. Another one, this is the London Telegraph. Unstoppable nuclear torpedo built by Russia to devastate cities with radioactive tsunami. Now we've talked about this for several years, but according to this report,

Russia has built the first examples of an unstoppable nuclear torpedo intended to devastate coastal cities by creating radioactive tsunamis. The first set of Poseidons have been manufactured and the Belgorod submarine will receive them in the near future, according to the TASS news agency. So what they're telling us, Doc, is that the Poseidon's submarines are going to be, well, the Belgorod submarines will be armed with

the Poseidon tsunami torpedoes sometime in the near future. Now, if I recall, the original estimate was 2027. So they've speeded up. Now, was the Poseidon torpedo, what we talked about in the past here,

about the ability for a plan, but it has its roots back in the Soviet era, of creating a destructive force that could wipe out the coastal cities of the United States. That's basically where it started at. The 24-meter-long torpedo was designed to travel up to 80 miles per hour underwater, carrying a 2-megaton nuclear warhead. That's more than 100 times more powerful than the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. Now, Christopher Ford, the then U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-Proliferation, warned in 2020 that the weapons were being designed to inundate U.S. coastal cities

with radioactive tsunamis. That's coming from a U.S. official. So, which means nobody will live on the East Coast for about 1,000 years. It'll be radioactive. The entire East Coast. That's what that means. Henry Kissinger appearing at Davos. The guy just, there he is.

He's like a little toad. And they carried him in, sat him on a table, I guess. He was old when I was a kid. He is really old now. I think he's almost 100. He's 99. He will turn 100 this year. He made news earlier this year by opposing Ukraine's membership into NATO.

Yes. He's now calling for Ukraine to be admitted to NATO. And that changes things significantly because if Ukraine's admitted to NATO, NATO has to be defended at all costs, right? Yes. But what changed Kissinger in this past year? He became hardline on, I mean, last year he's saying Ukraine doesn't belong in,

you know, Ukraine needs, remember he said, Ukraine's going to have to surrender some territory. We're going to have to get a settlement to this war. They're going to have to give up some land. Today, he's at Davos saying, Ukraine needs to join NATO. That's a different position.

And he's still calling for diplomacy to be at work, too, negotiating some end to the conflict. But I don't see how Russia is going to be happy about any talk about Ukraine being involved in NATO. That's not going to happen. Next one, Eurasian Times. Striking images show China's second aircraft carrier, Shandong, and J-15 fighters performing drills in South China Sea.

And, you know, this is a... When you read the article, it's obvious the Chinese military is ramping up in anticipation of a confrontation with the U.S. Navy. Next story, Bloomberg, Saudi Arabia open to settling trade in other currencies. This was spoken today at Davos. Right. in other currencies. This was spoken today at Davos. Right, and to me, this is the biggest story to come out of Davos today. For there to even, you know,

we've been talking about this for a while, that there was always the possibility of Saudi Arabia doing it. But when they start announcing it at these world forums, it's already in progress. Yeah, let's read this one, Doc. This is important. Saudi Arabia is open to discussions about trading currencies other than the already in progress. Yeah, let's read this one, Doc. This is important.

Saudi Arabia is open to discussions about trading currencies other than the U.S. dollar, according to the kingdom's finance minister. He said, there are no issues with discussing how we settle our trade arrangements, whether it is the U.S. dollar, whether it's the euro, whether it's the Saudi rial. Muhammad Al-Jaddan told Bloomberg TV on Tuesday in an interview in Davos, I don't think we're waving away or ruling out any discussion that will help improve the trade around the world, Al-Jaddan said. So they've cracked open the lid on this now. We're open to talking about it, which means we're no longer committed to the U.S. petrodollar.

Who was it? The Day the Dollar Dies, Celadon. I can't remember his first name. But The Day the Dollar Dies. Willard Canelon. Willard Canelon, there you go. Willard Canelon. Right. He wrote three books, Day the Dollar Dies, Money Masters, or None.

What was the third one? I got all three of them in my library. But I read Day the Dollar Dies many moons ago. And I always thought about when will that day be? Well, 2023 could be the year that we see the dollar die. Because right now, the dollar is pegged on oil and uranium. And when I say uranium, I mean nuclear missiles. Willard Canlon was saying in the late 70s,

because I was a new Christian, I was born again in 78, and I remember watching Willard Canilon on Christian TV in 78 and 79 and 80, and he was saying then that IMF special drawing rights would replace the dollar. He was so far ahead of his time. Willard Canlon was light years ahead of any Christian prophecy teacher

who was out there at that time. The rest of them were just making up stuff. Doc, he did what you and I do. He traveled the world and talked to people like we have gone to these conferences. And asked questions. Yes. Like you and I have gone to the, we went to Davos twice. We've, we've been to a number of conferences and we've sat in the rooms and listened to these guys talk and we've taken notes and, know we we were in saint petersburg and we saw putin and and macron and others on station that's what willard canlon was doing in the 60s and 70s

and so when he spoke uh he had facts but he had the holy spirit also. So he could process those facts, took the information that he heard, and then prayed and asked the Lord, where are they going with this? And so he would speak to churches about the end of the U.S. dollar, that a global currency was coming. Some of you may have his book. That's back in the 70s.

I'll see if I can dig him up tomorrow. I got them in my office somewhere. I'll find them and bring them out. I think I know which shelf it's on. Okay. Hey, one final topic. You told me today you found more cases of airline air traffic control disruptions. Yeah. And the first story here is one it caught me off guard. Rick, did you know that the day after we had our shutdown of all the airspace in the United States, hadn't happened since 9-11, this was back on the 11th, interesting, it also happened on the 11th, January 11th, that they shut down the entire airspace over the United

States because of our NOTAM system. Rick, did you know that the same thing happened in Canada the next day? No. No. The very same thing. We have two separate NOTAM systems. We don't have the same one. There was no news in the United States about it.

Right. This comes from IT World Canada. Put the screen back up there if you don't mind, guys. Canada, U.S. hit by NOTAM system failures. The date, January 12th. For a three-hour period, they shut down the airspace over Canada over the very same issues that the United States had experienced the day before. And they went through. Pete Buttigieg said it was old software. the United States had experienced the day before. And they went through...

Pete Buttigieg said it was old software. Yes, and basically Canada... Interesting in Canada, they don't have an FAA. They have a private company that manages the airspace over Canada. You know what they said did it? That two technicians, two software technicians... Uploaded wrong data code or something like that. something in real time and that shut down the whole system well uh nav express up in canada is blaming hardware which was the original thing they were blaming here in the u.s but rick it

really bothered me that first of all this happened in Canada. How did we miss this? Because there was no news coverage of it in the USA. You would think it would be a big story. Hey, America, airspace shut down yesterday. Today, Canadian airspace shut down. My guess is, Doc, is the U.S. government told the news media, we don't want to talk about this. Don't mention it.

Just let it go. And so now I'm keeping my eyes out for stories related to airport closures, anything that's going on. And wouldn't you know it, today in the U.K., in Manchester, England, they had an IT systems outage at the Manchester airport. Now, this is similar to the same outage that they experienced in Manila a couple weeks ago.

These IT systems outages then impacted the power systems at the airport. And they blamed old hardware and software upgrades and things like that. They haven't blamed two technicians yet, but that will probably be coming later. This, I don't believe in coincidences. I don't believe in them. These stories are happening too often now.

Something is going on. Something spooky is going on here. It does make me feel confident about our safety right now with the airports. And I don't know who's doing it, but there's too many of them at the same time. And there were reports that the day before we had our system shut down here in the U.S., that the Moscow airport was shut down for a couple hours on the 10th. We might be in a cyber war and not even know it. I mean, that's a very real possibility. Or we may be, everybody, the victims of cyber terrorism. Now, last story. This is comparable to, let's say, a police chief is holding a press conference to talk about his

plan to round up the criminals and make the streets safer again. And while he's holding the press conference, he gets mugged and robbed during the press conference. So the Ukrainian government was holding a press conference about cyber attacks. And the press conference got disrupted by a cyber attack. Live, while it was going on. So the live stream of a press conference by Ukrainian authorities on Russian hacking was repeatedly interrupted by a cyber attack. Which it fit in, seems to me, it fit in with these stories that we're talking about with the airports. Rick, we could be at a level of cyber war,

cyber terrorism that we don't comprehend. And it worries me that if the event last week that occurred with all the airports here in the US and now the next day in Canada If it was a cyber attack would the government tell us I? Mean if you were the president if you were the president United States you had to make a decision to tell the American people The entire airline system had they shut down today. They will only tell us when it's to their advantage meaning They will only tell us when it's to their advantage, meaning they plan to take action against a country like Russia.

That's the only time they're going to tell us. Any other time, they're going to lie to us. They're going to feed us a story. Birds got into the transformer. I've heard that story too. They're going to give us a line, and the public will buy it. But when you have these stories about the power stations, and then trains stopping, or they get rerouted,

airports shutting down. Those power stations out west of the United States, there is news blackout on those. I mean, those power stations were attacked. And what about the power station up in North Carolina here? The sheriff came out a couple days ago and said this was a cyber attack. It could have impacted the entire state of North Carolina. Really?

Wow. So we all need to be prepared for disruption, banking, where no ATM works. You could see fuel stations unable to pump gas because everything, credit cards running through the gas pumps, it's all by satellite. You know, there's a lot of things. Cell phone communication. A lot of things could be disrupted.

And you need to be prepared for it because that's what world wars look like. And we're fighting. I mean, we're in World War III and these are battles that are taking place. The battlefields are not just physical land. We now have cyber battlefields that are taking place. And these wars are being fought in real time.

And both countries are trying to keep their populations from knowing about it. The one that I think is going to happen that nobody can deny i'm just waiting counting down the days to when russia takes out starlink satellites i just can't believe they're going to let it go on the only thing that can be holding back the russians is that they don't want to show their hand in revealing to the west what they have....the space weapons that they have. But at the same time, Starlink is contributing to the deaths of thousands of Russian soldiers. So there's going to be pressure

inside the Russian government. We have to take out Starlink. You just can't let the carnage continue. And so I think they're going to show their hand at some point and take out Starlink. You just can't let the carnage continue. And so I think they're going to show their hand at some point and take out Starlink over Europe, over Ukraine. And, you know, Mr. Musk has made himself an enemy combatant in the eyes of the Russians.

Any American that is going over, physically going to Ukraine to help the Ukrainian military, or you are sending aid, you're an enemy combatant. That makes you a target. You know, Musk is way up there at the top of the list in causing the Russians to lose troops. And I just don't think they're going to let Starlink continue to do it. And I don't know what they're going to do, but they could take out that system. And that would be the opening shot to me.

I would interpret that as it's going to get really serious now. They just used a space-based weapon to take out satellites and that's a warning shot. If you get a space-based weapon can it fry a city? We don't know yet. We don't know. Do they have laser? Have they already been deployed in places? Do they have laser beams that could fry cities or fry a building?

Like the White House. Like directed energy weapons? Like directed energy, scalar weapons. Can they fry the White House? Can they fry the Pentagon? I don't think they want to show us yet if they have it. I don't think either side wants, they're saving it for the grand finale of World War III.

Those weapons don't come out until the end of World War III. That's what brings the war to an end. But when they start using it, you know we're getting close to the end of World War III, and it's going to be really ugly at that point because each side's going to start bringing out their nasty weapons. We're getting close to it.

We're also getting closer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. The most awesome thing that will ever happen to the human race. The most awesome thing. Amen. The birth of Jesus was the first thing. It was the most awesome thing. Amen. The birth of Jesus was the first thing. It was the most awesome thing.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the second. The second coming will be the third, and that's all she wrote. It won't be a secret. Won't be a secret. Every eye. Every eye. Every eye shall see him.

Every knee shall bow. Every tongue shall confess. Everybody. knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess, everybody. Well, no, that's Jesus. He's back. And He's not going to be this tiny little guy walking up, you know, tossing flower petals, saying, love everybody. He's going to be a glorious Lord on a white stallion horse. Commanding an army. Commanding an army.

Okay? And he calls his church up to meet him. And while we're with him up above, his army comes down below and takes care of every single person that opposed him and fought against him and blocked the preaching of the

gospel. Everything. Okay. That's when the wicked people run to the caves and beg the rocks to fall on them. They can't get away from the angels. The reaper angels who are going to come and bundle, bundle the wicked. They're going to apprehend them, bundle them, and burn them. Can you imagine the terror of hiding in a cave, knowing an angel is looking for you? Where are you? There's no getting away from me. That's right. That's right.

And there'll be plenty of angels, tens of millions, tens of millions of angels will come with Jesus Christ, the heavenly host. That's what I'm waiting for. I'm not going to let these people bother me. I'm not going to be depressed.

I'm not going to be worried. I'm not going to let these people steal my joy. I am excited waiting on my Lord Jesus Christ to come back. And I hope you're excited too. And we need to tell people he's coming back. That's the bright hope that we have that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns for his church. We love you. We thank you for supporting us.
