TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Build Back Broke: Biden Blames Skyrocketing Inflation on “Putin Price Hike”

Episode Date: May 11, 2022

Consumer prices in the USA rose at a whopping annual pace of 8.3 percent in April. The inflation rate remains at a 40-year high. Housing, food, airline fares, and new automobiles were the biggest contributors to April’s shocking one-month increase in prices. As American families struggle with gasoline, natural gas, food, rent, and clothing prices soaring into the stratosphere, America’s out-of-touch-with-reality President Joe Biden blamed Vladimir Putin for skyrocketing inflation. That inflation started last year and the Biden White House and the Federal Reserve bankers called it transitory inflation. When that propaganda didn’t work, they told the American people that inflation is a good thing. Now they have changed their tune again. This time inflation is a bad thing and it was caused by Putin. The American public is not buying Mr. Biden’s nonsense. They know that prices were climbing before the Ukraine war started and that it was Mr. Biden who placed sanctions on Russian oil and gas, thus forcing energy prices to soar worldwide.

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. Consumer prices in the USA rose at a whopping annual pace of 8.3% in April. The inflation rate remains at a 40-year high. Housing, food, airline fares, and new automobiles were the biggest contributors to April's shocking one-month increases in price. As American families struggle with gasoline, natural gas, food, rent, and clothing prices soaring into the stratosphere. America's out of touch with reality. President Joe Biden blamed Vladimir Putin for skyrocketing inflation in America. I'll remind our True News viewers that inflation started last year, and the Biden White House and the Federal Reserve bankers

called it transitory inflation. When that propaganda didn't work, they told the American people that inflation is a good thing. Now they've changed their tune again. This time, inflation is a bad thing and it was caused by Putin. Well, I think the American public is not buying Mr. Biden's nonsense. They know that prices were climbing before the Ukraine war started, and that it was Mr. Biden who placed sanctions on Russian oil and gas, thus forcing energy prices to soar worldwide. Here is Mr. Biden placing the blame on Vladimir Putin for high prices in America. Let me start. Let me start with the Putin price hike, high gas prices and energy prices. My plan is already in motion. I led the world and other countries to join with us

to coordinate the largest release of oil from our stockpiles of all the countries in history. 240 million barrels to boost global supply. Here at home, US oil and gas production is approaching record levels. In fact, we produce more oil domestically in my first year in office than my predecessor did in his first year. To further drive down prices, my administration is allowing the sale of gasoline using homegrown biofuels, biofuels this summer, which wasn't allowed before. And to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reckless autocrats like Putin, I'm working with Congress to pass landmark investments

to help build a clean energy future as well. Doc, do you think the American people are going to buy this story? They didn't buy the Biden plan before, and I think it is kind of weird that back, I remember when they started talking about transitory inflation, which was a whole new made up term that just meant old inflation, but it was moving them down the road. It had legs. That's right. Don't worry about it, folks. This is inflation. It's walking through the country and just give it a little bit of time.

It's moving. It's like a hobo going through your town. And then inflation became something good. Inflation was the earmark of an expanding economy. You should like it. That's right. You should embrace inflation. And now inflation, bad, bad. Why? Because Putin caused it.

But all the other inflation was good inflation. It was. One of the very first things Joe Biden did, it may have been- The first thing he did was shut down the- Shut down the Keystone Pipeline. Yes. The Biden administration has had a radical anti-energy policy since day one. They've gone after the oil and gas industry. The coal industry as well, yes. Just like Mr. Biden's puppet master, Barack Obama, who said when he was running for president in 2008 that he would bankrupt the coal industry. Yes. And he said, he told, I think it was the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper editors, this was in 2008, he said,

when I become president, in my policies, electricity prices will skyrocket. Yes. Because Obama believed that forcing energy prices up would force Americans to reduce their consumption of energy because they can't afford any more, and therefore they would save the environment. So the Obama-Biden-Democrat radical policy is to destroy the energy sector. We saw it last year, Doc, in the radical energy summit that they had. Yes. In which they clearly said,

we're going to bankrupt oil and gas companies. They made it, yes. They came right out and said it. The banks would no longer give loans. Big investment houses would no longer make investments in fossil fuel projects. They have been anti-energy since the day they came into the White House.

And now we're all paying the price for it. And who are they blaming? Vladimir Putin. When the whole train started at the beginning of the Biden administration. And there has been a spike in energy, a higher spike in energy prices since the war started. But we started the war. NATO started the war, and it was the NATO countries led by Joe Biden that put the sanctions on Russian oil and gas because they said,

we're going to destroy the Russian economy. And now Russia can't sell their oil and gas to Western nations. And guess what? Skyrocketing prices everywhere. Oh, Putin did it. So Putin's sitting over in the Kremlin. He's saying, boy, I'm going to get even.

You watch. I'm going to force energy prices to climb. I'll get even with those Americans. No, he's trying to keep his economy running while the United States and Europe is trying to crash his economy. But in the process of it, Doc, they're crashing the economy of every American family. And one of the law of unintended consequences

here in all this, and it's interesting, one of the leaders of the IMF brought this out here a couple weeks ago, is now we've forced Russia to sell their oil and gas to China. China's not buying as much from Western nations and from Saudi Arabia because now they're buying it from Russia at a reduced price. That's right.

And so those are the laws of one of the things of unintended consequences. I'll ask this question again. Show me something since in the last 50 years that America's ruling class showed me one thing in their foreign policy that has worked.

One thing. For the good. That has worked for the good of the American people. Name me one thing that has worked out for the good of the American people. Name me one thing that has worked out for the good of the American people. The ruling class of this country has had a disastrous record in running foreign affairs. And why does the American people allow them just to continue to do it? I mean, we need a total house cleaning.

There's a perpetual revolving door of certain people who just remain in power. Right. And the grooming of another generation that keeps getting recycled through the same channels, through the Ivy League schools and through the CIA-funded thought control machines. Think tanks and all that, yes. But they have made a disaster of the world. And common people, average people pay the price for this. Families are struggling right now to pay their bills.

You know, single moms that have kids, I mean, they're struggling right now, Doc. It's a really difficult time. I'm sure you have seen it. You're old enough that you saw waves of inflation. I have seen it. I've not seen anything like this since the days of gerald ford yes and mr biden's uh putin price hike that was as silly as betty ford's win yeah whip inflation now still remember the button we had the buttons yes everybody wear a win button we're going to whip inflation now while you stood in a gas line that was a mile long. And so I remember those. That was when gas was under a dollar. But the real cause of inflation, the real cause of inflation is the Federal Reserve

and all the other central banks after 2008, after the debacle that they caused. Right. They caused that housing bubble. And then bailed out the banks that participated in caused. Right. They caused that housing bubble. And then bailed out the banks that participated in it. Yes. All right. Then the Federal Reserve went on a buying binge. They began buying.

They bought mortgages. They bought stocks. They bought bonds. And so you had this financial incest taking place. Yeah, that's the best way to describe it. It was financial incest. The central bank of the country buying up the bonds and stocks and mortgages and real estate of the country to prop up the economy. So then they also pumped in trillions of dollars. And then the European Central Bank, the Japanese Central Bank, many central banks around the world also participated in flooding the world with funny money.

So here we are now in 2022 and the wave is coming back. They sent that wave of funny money fiat currency out to the world starting in 2008. Now the wave is coming back. The returning wave took longer than most of us expected. Those of us who were warning this is going to be disastrous. I really thought this was going to hit probably 2018, 19. I did not think it could stretch this far out. But they were pumping the brakes and maneuvering all the handles and everything to delay it.

So now the wave of inflation is coming in and it is a tidal wave of inflation. So what does the Federal Reserve say? When you hear this stuff on television or radio, I just want you to see through the propaganda. So they're now talking about how the Federal Reserve is going to pump the brakes on a red hot economy. Red hot? Oh yeah, red hot economy. We're going to pump the brakes and slow down the economy and bring down inflation.

And it's the same baloney that the Federal Reserve has put out for decades. They caused the inflation. Yes. Now they're going to cause the recession. And in their reasoning, which is a lie, in their reasoning, inflation is an earmark of an economy that's doing well. That's not true. That's not true. Inflation is caused by a central bank's reckless monetary policy of printing too much money. So they'll never admit that. Right. Of course not. They'll never admit it. So what they will do is jack up the interest rate.

Punishing the American people. Yes. Young families won't be able to buy houses. Right. Mortgages will skyrocket. I mean, during, you know, when I was young, just after Suze and I were married, mortgages had gotten up to 18%.

Our generation today, or this generation today, has no recollection of the horror of those days when no one could buy a house. You couldn't afford it. I mean, you're paying interest rates on a house, credit card interest rates, basically. It was terrifying. And we could face that again.

In fact, it seems like the Fed is heading in that direction. I, to this day, remember Gerald Ford's economic advisor, and he made a statement, and I remember I was in my 20s, Doc, and just getting started with a family, trying to get my career going, trying to raise a family. And I remember Gerald Ford's economic director in an outrageously shocking statement he made. So this was in the 70s.

And he said, some unemployment would be a good thing. Okay? Some unemployment would be a good thing. Okay? Some unemployment would be a good thing. In other words, we need to slow down the economy. We need to see people laid off from their jobs. We're too successful. Yeah.

The unemployment rate needs to go up. People need to lose their jobs right now to bring down inflation. Do you know who that economist was? Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan. And where did that rascal end up? Head of the Federal Reserve.

In fact, you could say he was also the head of the Federal Reserve for China, too. He was. And where was his wife working? NBC. It's all one big incestuous relationship. And so they've wrecked the economy for decades. They've drained the wealth out of the people.

They've sucked the money into their bank accounts and made themselves wealthy. And here we go again. It's happening again. And the wealth is never taken from the wealthy, is it? No. It's always taken from the American people. Yes.

And then put into the pockets of the super wealthy who are in control of the central bank and the major banks of the world. Because all that money that's been printed is still out there, still floating around, but it's not floating back to the American people. That's right. I want people, listen, the way you get through this is to become a giver. You have to put your faith and your trust in God. Become a giver,

not just to this ministry. First of all, your giving has to be to God. You never give to a person or a ministry or church. You have to, your faith has to be directed. Your gifts have to be to God. You're putting your faith in God. Learn to become a giver. And giving to the poor, giving to those in need, that is also giving to God. In, that is also giving to God.

In fact, it's lending to God. The Bible says that whoever gives to the poor lends to the Lord and he surely repays with interest. So when you're generous to somebody who is struggling and you're helping them out, you're lending to God and he sees it. So develop a generous heart. The thing that you got to guard against is the fear of saying, man, economy's getting bad. I better cut back. I better hold on to what I've got. I better cut back all my spending.

I better hoard. I got a hoard. A hoard is just another word for greed. Yes. That's exactly what it is. Generosity is the spirit of the Lord. He wants you to be like him. Be generous.

Now, it doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare or that you shouldn't have a budget, that you shouldn't do those things. But the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. Greed is the root of all evil, basically. But you can't have a greedy heart if you're giving. That's right. Because giving breaks the spirit of greed. You better believe it. And I can't tell you how many times,

on a personal level, I have helped somebody, I've blessed somebody, and within 24 to 48 hours, the blessing has come to me multiplied over. This has happened to me over and over and over for decades as I've been a Christian. So some of you obviously know this because you're givers and you support this ministry, and I know you're already a giver. I've talked to many of you. But for others, this is going to be

your time to learn. And you need to learn this to get through. This is not going to go away in a couple of months. We're going to be in this for years. The economy is going to become extremely tight. Jobs are going to disappear. It's going to be very difficult, and we're seeing shortages now. The economy is going to be in dire straits for several years. That does not mean your economy has to be in dire straits. Your economy can be blessed and abundant, and you should be overflowing with the blessings of God that you can help others who don't have the faith that you have. So become generous and put your faith and trust in the Lord.

You're going to go through this time. We're going to be in this for several years. If we don't have a world war in the meantime, you know, the good news is the only thing bad is about to happen is a really bad economy. Yes. That's the good news is we the only thing bad is about to happen is a really bad economy yes that's the good news the bad news is we may be in a nuclear war and the two are tied together yes because the system is going broke and they need a war to reset the system that right. That's why they've pushed Putin to attack They want the war to reset the world economic system Once you see it. It's so clear to see and understand and understand their motives of what they're up to one of the things to pay attention to is the

the crashing cryptocurrencies It's definitely underway um i look i i avoid giving economic advice uh i will just tell you on a personal level i don't own one cryptocurrency as of today i'm out completely out okay i think the bear market has started in cryptocurrencies, and it will probably be a bear market for the next three to four years. Yeah, Bitcoin dropped below 30 today. This is in 29. 29.

And Ethereum was around 2,100 the last time I looked. And then also a stable coin, actually two tokens, Terra, Terra USD. And Luna, yes. And Luna. Both of them crashed today. So this is from CNBC, controversial stable coin UST, also known as Terra, which is meant to be pegged to the dollar, plummets below 30 cents. And the sister token, Luna, has lost roughly 96% of its value just in the past seven days. Yes. And, Donkey, in a crash of cryptocurrency, and this is the cycles that we've seen, altcoins will drop to 95% of their value.

So if you're holding altcoins, I'm telling you where it's headed. 95% drop. So if you had $100. $100 in cryptocurrency altcoins, when this crash has hit bottom, it will be worth $5, and it's not coming back for three to four years. That's where we're at.

You have to make a decision. Are you going to ride out the crash, lose everything in value, and just wait it out for three or four years, and then it will come back most likely i mean it will come back if the cycles continue cryptocurrency will come back based on the patterns so based on the past patterns or you have to sell now take a loss you're taking a loss depending on what price you bought right the coins if if you bought high and you're under water right now, you're taking

a loss. If you bought altcoins very low and the current low price is still higher than what you paid, your head, I would suggest you get out. If you don't get out soon, it will be down to 95% loss. That's where this is going. Well, today, several coins, including Terra and Luna, are in freefall. The two main tokens from embattled crypto project Terra went into freefall Wednesday. Terra USD or UST plunged to as low as 26 cents. Now, this so-called stable coin is meant to maintain a one-to-one peg with the U.S. dollar. It was last trading at around 46 cents, according to

CoinMetrics data. Sister token, Luna, at one point dived to less than 90 cents before recovering slightly to 214. The coin has lost roughly 96% of its value just in the past seven days and now has a smaller market value than its stable coin counterpart. 96%. That's the floor that we're going to with altcoins. 95% is the floor of this crash. Also, Coinbase, the big crypto exchange,

they admitted in a filing with the U.S. government that if they were forced to declare bankruptcy... To even put that out there. Well, we're not going bankrupt, but if we did, if we did go bankrupt, you all would lose your money. That's what they said. They said you all, who meant the investors that held their money. Anybody that had coins or cash in the Coinbase exchange, they said that money would go to pay creditors if Coinbase Exchange declares bankruptcy. That sounds like a bank.

I got all my personal funds out Sunday. My son called me. Susan and I were driving over to my daughter's house, and my son called me and said, Dad, it's crashing. You need to get out right away. I dropped off Susan, turned around, went back home and cashed out of all the exchanges I had personal funds in and moved the funds

to my personal bank account because I didn't want to even let the funds in the exchange accounts for that very reason. That there could be a plunge so fast that Kraken or Coinbase or any of these other exchanges would be forced into bankruptcy quickly. That could happen overnight. So don't let your funds sit in an exchange either. Just because you sold off your coins and you have the money sitting in the exchange account, it's not safe. It's not insured. There's no FDIC insurance on those funds. None at all. If they go bankrupt, your money is scooped up

and taken by the bankruptcy court to pay off the creditors. And you agreed to that when you joined the exchange. You got trade, it's in the fine print. So buyer beware. So the repercussions across the economy against Biden's economy, let's call it what it is. It was Joe Biden's economy, Joe Biden's policies that brought us this rapid inflation and this collapse that we're seeing. Doc, he's starving infants of baby formula. Yes. If moms can find baby formula, that is, they can't afford to buy it because the prices have gone up. Were infants struggling to find baby formula during the Trump years?

I didn't hear any stories about that. In my entire life, I've never heard of moms struggling to find baby formula to feed their infants. But under the Biden administration, infants are going without baby formula. I mean, how bad can this get when you can't even get formula to feed an infant? I mean, this is the disastrous Biden policies. The Democrats are not fit to lead. They're just not fit to lead. They're just not fit to lead. No, they let their ideologies determine their economic decisions, which has proven time and time again never to work. If your ideology is Marxism,

then your economic decisions are communism, and that's what we just got. The current model of environmentalism is nothing but green Marxism. That's what it is. It's green Marxism. And these decisions that they make based on that green Marxism are causing consequences all across the economy.

This next story here from AgWeb. So now, this is across all sectors. Diesel prices just hit a new record high. You might have seen it at the gas pump. I was shocked to see $7 diesel at a local gas station here. I think we warned about this about four or six weeks ago. We told our audience there's a diesel shortage coming. Now we gotta remember that the hike in diesel prices

just doesn't impact the truck drivers that are on the road. A big sector of the economy that it impacts is the ag industry. You're a local farmer, so farmers are already faced with a shortage of equipment parts and tires and some crop inputs. Now, due to increased demand and a drop in production, a diesel shortage may be next as the largest diesel distribution hub in the U.S. is sitting on supplies now at a 30-year low. So it's a combination of things, but Russia's supply chain trying to play catch-up and lower production along the East Coast are all adding to the dire supply situation. Diesel supply is short all over the world due to sanctions against russian oil and much excuse me

much higher post-pandemic demand as supply restocking takes place says peter meyer with s&p global commodity insights okay so what could mr biden do immediately to bring down the cost of diesel fuel gasoline and natural gas lift the sanctions on natural gas. Lift the sanctions on Russia. Yes, lift the sanctions on Russia and tell Zelensky, settle with Putin. Yes. End the war. The prices will go down.

Yes. Supply will go up. It is Biden who has caused the supply to go down by putting these sanctions on Russia. And then he has the nerve to turn around and blame Putin for the shortage. I mean, even in Ukraine, Russian oil is still flowing through pipelines. And the only reason why there's a lack of supply is the Ukrainians have shut it off. Yes, and that's our next story.

Take a look at this. That's right. So this is from Radio Free Europe. Ukraine suspends some Russian gas flow, blaming interference of occupying forces. And what happened to, do you know what force majeure is? I mean, force majeure,

that's a nerdy term that nerds know. People that like to read contracts, okay? But businessmen know what I'm talking about. Force majeure is a clause in a contract that says, let's say you sign a contract with me and you're going to supply me with 10,000 tons of beans every month, okay? That's a lot of beans, but okay. But there's a penalty in here if you don't supply, okay?

If you don't come through with the beans, the contract has a penalty on you, Doc. You have to supply, okay? Okay. But there's a force majeure clause in the contract. So if I don't deliver 10,000 tons of beans every month, there's a price I have to pay. Okay. That's the penalty in the contract. But force majeure is on your side. It says, if there is a natural calamity, something, an act of God, the clause describes what it is that prevents you from fulfilling the contract.

You want to fulfill the contract. You need to fulfill the contract, but you physically can't do it. Right. Okay. Then on my side, I can't, I can't enact the penalties against you. Okay, that sounds reasonable. Okay, so there was force majeure in this contract,

and Ukraine said, we can't manage the pipeline because there's too many Russian tanks around the pipeline. Okay. They really did. They activated the force majeure contract and shut off,

they shut off the flow of Russian oil, not to Ukraine, but to Europe. They got out what they needed. Yes. But they shut the valve to Europe. Yes. Now think about that folks, what the Ukrainians did. So the Russians did not shut off Russian oil and gas going to, through Ukraine. The Ukrainians did. So Ukraine Russians did not shut off Russian oil and gas going through Ukraine. The Ukrainians did. So Ukraine says it will suspend the flow of gas through a transit point that delivers almost one-third of the fuel that Russia exports to Europe across Ukraine. Now, just stop right there. Russia has not stopped exporting fuel. Not once. They have not stopped.

But the Ukrainians said the barrel stops here. Right. So Ukraine's state-owned natural gas pipeline operator said in a statement that it could not operate at the Novobzhikov gas compressor station due to the interference of the occupying forces in technical processes. In other words, they're blaming the presence of Russian military in

the country as that. Probably whizzing bullets going by was interfering with their workforce. But understand, Russia does not want to stop the flow of fuel. They do not want to stop the flow of fuel. So this suspension, which affects gas

flows via the Sokranivka route. That's pretty good. You did it. That's pretty good, Doc. Say it three times. Yuri Vitrenko, head of the state energy company Naftogaz, said gas flows to Europe via Ukraine could fall by one-third unless Russia switches to using a different route.

Let's look at that again. Gas flows to Europe via Ukraine could fall by one-third. Will prices go up in Europe this week? Yes, because they know that the flow of fuel has just been stopped. Did Putin cut off the gas and oil going to Europe? No. Zelensky did it. That's right.

Did Russian tanks blow up the Russian pipeline? No, Zelensky did it. That's right. Did Russian tanks blow up the Russian pipeline? No, of course they didn't. They want to go. Zelensky cut off the flow to Europe, creating a shortage in Europe. Right. So as Rick mentioned,

the gas operators there in Ukraine declared force majeure and a clause invoked when a business is hit by something beyond its control. Well, you know, if there was no war going on, that fuel would be flowing just as free as that, and of course Ukraine would be siphoning off their cut along the way.

They've been stealing for years. And so that's the truth, folks. But what I wanted to see is two things. Ukraine cut off the flow of the Russian fuel. One-third of that pipeline. That's the second thing. One-third supply to Europe has been cut off. So who's the bad guy in this situation?

Zelensky. But Zelensky just does what he's told. Right. He's just a puppet. Right. And so every day he welcomes a new celebrity or a new political leader to come and visit and everything. You know, I have a question about that, Doc. How does he run a war and do so many podcast interviews? It's amazing.

And so many, you know, selfies with world leaders and celebrities. He's running a war. And it doesn't, the bombs never get near him. Or any of the celebrities or any of the political leaders. Nancy Pelosi can walk around Ukraine as if there's no problem going on at all. Is that a war zone or not? You'd almost think it's done on a green screen.

Or there's no war going on. I would do the green screen. Next one. Lithuania adopted a resolution calling Russia a terrorist state, accuses Moscow of genocide. So this is the first NATO nation that has adopted a government resolution calling for the prosecution of Vladimir Putin as a war criminal. And here you see a picture of the Lithuanian parliament getting their Zoom call from Zelensky. There he is again. So he's everywhere, man.

So Lithuanian lawmakers have unanimously adopted a resolution declaring Russia a terrorist state and calling Moscow's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine genocide against the Ukrainian people. On their May 10th resolution, the lawmakers also called for the creation of an international court to prosecute Russian officials responsible for the war in Ukraine, similar to the Nuremberg trials held by the Allies against representatives of the defeated Nazi Germany for plotting and carrying out invasions of other countries and other crimes in World War II. Now, the Russian Federation, whose armed forces deliberately and systemically chose civilian targets to bombard, is the state that supports and carries out acts of terrorism, the Lithuanian

parliamentary resolution says. The resolution compares Russian President Vladimir Putin with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, calling modern Russia under Putin's rule a reincarnation of the Soviet Union. So this resolution calls on the United Nations, the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, well, there are a lot of these, foreign parliaments and governments to recognize and prosecute the genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by the Russian Federation.

And so they're ramping up the rhetoric, at least. Well, Doc, this is now a legal action. You have the Parliament of a nation, a member of nato now calling upon the western nations to prosecute vladimir putin this is significant this is the very first legal step towards arresting vladimir putin or killing him um who was it that just here in the United States just a few days ago said, Putin must be treated like Hitler. He must be killed. I'm trying to remember. I think this is what happened while we were in Jordan. But it was a prominent, oh, I think it was the defense secretary, the defense minister of Great Britain.

Oh, that's right. I remember that story popping up. The defense minister of Great Britain, he said, Putin must be killed. He has to be treated like Hitler. He has to be killed. So they've taken the right, so there is no chance of negotiation here at all. The West is not interested in negotiating with Putin. They're not interested in a peace settlement. They want his head. And they want his country, and they want his natural resources, and they want a new world order.

At the end of the day, they want a reset of a world order. But here's the insanity of this. They actually think they can pull this off. Yes, they do, And survive a nuclear war. And when it's been made clear of where the Russian position is, a world without Russia is not a world worth living in. That's right. So today, Doc, Boris Johnson signed military defense treaties with Sweden and Finland, that the United Kingdom will militarily defend those

countries if Russia attacks them. Right. Now, they're in the process of applying for NATO membership right now, and that could take a few months to get approved for at least one of them and a lot longer for the other. I forget which is which. But in anticipation of that acceptance at some point, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of Great Britain, agreed to this treaty, another treaty. It's like World War I, isn't it? All these different treaties and everything. So Great Britain is now on the hook to go to war with Russia by itself if Finland or Sweden says help us. Right. Now, as it stands now, Finland and Sweden are not a theater of our operation for Russia or for NATO,

although NATO has been tiptoeing into all of that for quite a while by doing training exercises in the countries and everything. By the way, while we're on the topic of Great Britain, yesterday Queen Elizabeth was too physically frail to give her queen's speech to Parliament, and the speech was delivered by her son, Prince Charles. Prince Charles, yes. So he sat upon the throne. Yes. A lot of people were watching to see. So he sat upon the throne. Yes. Okay.

A lot of people were watching to see, would he leave his mother's throne empty? But he sat on the throne. Right. Declaring, I'm the king. Get ready. Get ready. My mom's on her way out.

There's now increasing talk that she's going to abdicate the throne very soon and Charles will become king. So a big change coming there in Great Britain. Express UK reporting Prime Minister Boris Johnson has signed letters of last resort in preparation of a nuclear attack from Russia on UK. So these are...

Like final instructions if something should happen to them. Yeah, kind of dead hand letters. So while the UK becoming embroiled in a nuclear conflict remains unlikely, the government nonetheless has protocols in place for such an event. Now, this includes the letters of last resort, four identically worded handwritten letters from the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to the commanding officers of the four British ballistic missile submarines. And basically, they instruct the military on what action to take

in the event that an enemy nuclear strike has destroyed the British government and has killed or otherwise incapacitated both the prime minister and their designated second person, typically a high-ranking member of the cabinet. Now, in the event that the orders are carried out, the action taken could be the last official act of the UK. So if the letters are not used during the term of the Prime Minister who wrote them, they are destroyed unopened after that person leaves office so that their content remains unknown to anyone except the issuer. Is that kind of creepy?

What do you think about this story being put out there? You know, the British are funny about the press and everything. They allow information to get out. So why do you think they put this out? This almost sounds defeatist from the point of the British. Any thoughts on that? I think there are several reasons. They have different intended audiences.

Obviously, number one, Vladimir Putin and the Russian leadership it's a way of saying we are taking our steps to even if you destroy us we still have four submarine commanders who will be in charge of our fleet that will be out there in the seas even if there's no British islands left Right. Okay. So that's the first one and loaded with nuclear missiles. So and then The second message is is to I think the upper class of Great Britain How so? You might want to start heading towards your bunker Wow How so? You might want to start heading towards your bunker. Wow.

Might be a good time to activate your get out of Dodge plan. And then third, I think it's to the general public that has some awareness of what's going on, of just saying, okay, we've told you, we've given you, this is our way of telling you. We're going ahead with this plan. We're going ahead with the plan. And we've issued the letters, the dead hand letters.

That's what they are. They're the dead hand letters that we can still fight even if London is blown up. It just seems very strange to me. Can you imagine a president of the United States coming out or the press leaking out that there are some final instructions that I've given

that just in case everything gets blown up, we're still going to blow up Russia? Yes. That's basically what these letters are, right? That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. And yet, Doc, with all these stories appearing, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THESE LETTERS ARE, RIGHT? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. AND YET, DOC, WITH ALL THESE STORIES APPEARING, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC

DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT. THAT'S TRUE. THEY DON'T WATCH TRUE NEWS. IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING TRUE NEWS, WHO'S TELLING YOU ABOUT IT? NO ONE. NO OUTLET OUT THERE. NO MATTER HOW CONSERVATIVE THEY ARE OR EVEN HOW CHRISTIAN-MINDED THEY ARE, who's telling you about it? No one. No outlet out there. No matter how conservative they are

or even how Christian-minded they are, anything, they don't talk about these things. And the alt-right, so-called alt-right, they're talking about snake venom in the water. They're talking about stuff so far out, and yet here is nuclear war staring them in the face, and they don't talk about it. They don't deal with it.

So if you're not watching True News, you don't know about this. You know, this audience, you know more than 99.99% of the world population because we carefully select important facts to get it to you every day to give you a broad picture of the state of the world today. And nuclear war is right at the top. We've been, if you've been watching us for a long time, I mean, just in the past six months, think about how, just go back to last fall, and Russia was issuing stronger and stronger pleas to NATO. Please sit down with us and discuss our national security concerns. Doc, last October, November, December, you and I, we were telling our audience, hey, this is getting serious. All the way up to February.

The Russians are really getting serious about this. And yet we saw Biden and all the Western leaders just brush off the Russians. We don't care. We're not talking to you. We're not listening to your concerns. In fact, we're just going to keep spreading propaganda about you. And then there came a day we said, the Russians have changed. The tone has changed. They've given up. They're not going to negotiate now. They're going to war. And sure enough, they went to war. What do we know now? The West wanted a war. The very thing that we

suspected is what we know now. They wanted a war. They need the war. They have to reset the global financial system, and they've got to wipe out Russia to have this new world order. So if you're not watching True News, you're not hearing any of this. You're not going to hear it on Fox News. You're not going to hear it on... Name one alternative news service that is talking about this. Not one. No one. We're the only ones out there. And what is our reason to because your soul your soul must be ready your soul must be ready christ is coming back and the world is moving rapidly towards the end of the age i i want to encourage you to to read my book final day and it is the 10 characteristics of the Lord's second coming.

Hey, and some good news. I have finished the audio recording and it is now being edited. And we're anticipating a, I would say, early June. I think we'll have it released in early June. So it's coming very soon, the audio book. But I encourage you to get the printed book. And this is the second edition. If you read the first edition, you've got to read the second edition. It is, well, Doc, I don't know how to say it because it's my book and I wrote it.

The second edition is really, really much better than the first edition. I think you sifted some information down and got some fresh perspective on some things. COVID kind of baked things a little bit. It did. And so it gave a new perspective. But yes, I encourage you, get the second edition of Rick's book, Final Day. It has some amazing insights about it. It's not about the last days.

It's about the last day. That's right. And so I encourage you. You see the information on the screen right there at truenews.com. Order it from there. And like Rick said, the audio book,

just a few weeks away on that. And I'm looking forward to that. And you'll be able to listen on the go. The first edition came out in January 2020, just before the pandemic. So then the whole world were locked down for basically two years. No travel, no activities, everything. What did I do?

I locked myself down with the Lord. And during those two years, I really dug down deep in the word of God about the topics that were in this book. And then I rewrote the book based on what the Lord revealed to me during those two years that we were locked down. So the lockdown, I turned it into a blessing. It's like, I'm not traveling. I'm not going anywhere. I have time to be alone with the Lord and study. And so he gave me a fresh new insight into the second coming of Christ. And that's why we have a second edition. And I really encourage you to get it. It's $19.95 plus shipping. I will personally sign it with my famous blue pen,

A couple more stories before we wrap it up. We talked about the Mary Poppins of disinformation yesterday. The censorship czar. Joe Biden's censorship czar. Well, she has some ideas now

of how she's going to censor your free speech. She wants to edit your tweets. Right, that's her up in the upper right-hand corner of the picture there. Biden's new disinformation czar wants trustworthy, verified people like her to be able to add context to other people's tweets. In other words, we need to add some more truth to the tweets that are out there.

Yes. You know, Doc, in my- Their version of truth. You know, Doc, in my fantasy world, I have imagined, if I had the power, if I could sit in my living room and watching TV news and some bonehead is running his mouth saying a bunch of stupid stuff and propaganda, if I had the ability to interrupt the newscast and just mute their mics and I could speak over CNN or MSNBC or Fox News and just interrupt their telecast, that would be a great power to have. I could just sit in my living room in my pajamas and interrupt their speech.

Yeah, instead of just talking to the screen, you'd actually be able to interrupt. Speak to everybody. Just mute their mics. But you know, hey, that's a fantasy, all right? And I'm only joking. She's not joking. No, she tends to do that. She wants to edit your thoughts. It's scary. We have her on a Zoom call here talking to, I guess, some of these trustworthy, verified people about their plans as they move forward as far as editing truth in the future. And I am eligible for it because I'm verified. But there are a lot of people who shouldn't be verified who aren't, you know, legit, in my opinion. I mean, they are real people, but they're not trustworthy. Anyway, so verified people can essentially start to edit Twitter the same sort of way that Wikipedia is so they can add context to certain tweets. So just as an easy

example, not from any political standpoint, if President Trump were still on Twitter and tweeted a claim about voter fraud, someone could add context from one of the 60 lawsuits that went through the court or something that an election official in one of the states said, perhaps your own Secretary of State and his news conferences, something like that. Adding context so that people have a fuller picture rather than just an individual claim on a tweet. My question is, can you catch coronavirus on a Zoom call? Right, because you notice about half of them there were wearing masks. And if they really believed it, they'd all be wearing masks, right?

But can you catch it on a Zoom call? Well, some of them think you might be able to. What else do you need to say about their intelligence level? Right. But the fact that they would even go so far as to suggest that, well, there are some people we can't trust

and we're going to be the ones that decide who you can and can't trust, because you're stupid. You're dumb. You can't determine what truth is for yourself. So we're going to tell you what it is. And you don't have the right to express your opinions without the left interfering and correcting you. Absolutely right, Rick. Which is a sign of mass mental illness doc it's mental illness on a mass scale these people on the left think that they have this duty to correct everybody yes to get into your life and correct you

all right and it is a sign of mental illness and the scary thing is they're in power. It's that reprobate mind you talked about yesterday. Has God given them up to a reprobate mind? Well, are they doing reprobate things? That might answer it for you right there.

Hey, our final story comes from the Israeli military-occupied West Bank where a veteran Al Jazeera journalist was shot dead, shot in the head by the Israeli IDF during a raid in the Palestinian city of Jenin. I was alerted to this story very early this morning by our friend in Jordan Rick and his information is this lady was a believer, a Christian. So the Palestinian Authority says reporter Shireen Abu Akleh

was killed by Israeli fire. Now Israel says the initial findings indicate Palestinian gunmen likely shot her. So a veteran Palestinian-American, she was an American citizen, by the way, journalist was shot dead amid clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen during an Israeli army raid in the West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday morning, with Israel and Palestinians trading accusations of responsibility. Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akhla was shot in the head while covering the Israeli army operation in the city, which has seen high tensions in recent days.

In footage from the scene after she was shot, Abu Akhla can be seen wearing a press vest and a helmet. Now, that's important, Rick, that she was wearing a helmet and she was shot in the head. The Palestinian Authority, health ministry, and Palestinian witnesses, including other journalists, charged that Israeli troops raiding the city fired the gunshots that killed Abu Akleh. So the accusations are going back and forth.

She is dead. She was shot in the head. She was wearing a clearly marked press vest and a helmet why would the palestinians shoot an al-jazeera reporter that was reporting to the world what the idf was doing to the palestinians for that very reason that's why why would the palestinians shoot her right why would the palestinians do it They'd have no reason to shoot her. There's no motive. They would want to encourage her to continue her reporting.

Who would want her to stop reporting the IDF? Right. And she has reported a number of times on the different things going on in the West Bank and around various cities. I want to show you a short video here. Now, this is a disturbing video, so I'll give you a heads up now, that shows the scene that was going on. A sniper fire raining down on different people here in this particular scene. It's going to cut to where Abu Akhla is lying in the street. You see her associate standing behind a tree protecting herself. But you clearly see that Abu Akleh, she's laying on the ground, she's clearly

marked wearing a press vest and a helmet. The only way she was shot in the head is she was shot directly in the face, in the only place that was open. You don't see that part, but you're going to see this. While friends are trying to help her, sniper fire is still being laid down. So let's just watch this short video here. اصحاب اصحاب لا لا اصحاب خليك محلك تتحركيش تتحركيش مجاين تتحركيش واكشرين واكشرين

اصحاب اصحاب اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد!

اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! اقصد! The shots you were hearing there was IDF sniper fire, preventing friends and other... From rescuing her. Right. So there were five other press people around there that saw this incident. There's no doubt about what happened. All of them have confirmed this was a direct strike by the IDF against her.

She was targeted. She was shot in the face. So she was an American? Yes. And where's the outcry from the Israeli ambassador? The U.S. ambassador to Israel. From the embassy there. where's the outcry from the Israeli ambassador? I mean the U.S. ambassador to Israel. There's no outcry. Why would there be? So she was an American. She was a Christian. And she was a news reporter.

Telling the truth. Telling the truth. And the Israeli military murdered her in the open on the street, and they'll get away with it. Yes. They'll get away with it. They get away with their murder because nobody will hold the Israelis accountable. That's why I support the Palestinian people. This is the way the Israelis have treated the Palestinians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. They've treated them like animals. And I will continue to stand with the Palestinian people, because every week the IDF murders

Palestinians. It just happens every single week. I read the Israeli papers. I see the stories. They don't care. They don't care. They don't see them as humans. They do not see the Palestinians as human beings. They see them as animals that need to be eradicated so that they can possess their land. Yes. At some point, the world must become outraged by what the Zionists have done for Palestine. It's not today, though, is it? Not today.

Maybe some other day. But I will stand for the Palestinian people, and I will defend them. They are my friends. I love them very much. They treat me with great kindness and love, and I will stand with them. That's it for today. Thank you for watching True News. We'll be back here tomorrow.
