TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - China Warns Nancy Pelosi to Stay Out of Taiwan

Episode Date: July 19, 2022

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan next month to show support for Taipei as the island comes under growing pressure from Beijing. China’s foreign minister denounced the planned visit as a malicious provocation. Beijing has warned that the United States will “bear all consequences” and face “forceful measures” from Beijing if US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan as reported. A Financial Times report on Tuesday said Pelosi would take a delegation to Taiwan next month. It would be the first visit by a US speaker of the house to the self-ruled island in 25 years. Pelosi would be the most senior US lawmaker to visit the island since one of her predecessors as speaker, Republican Newt Gingrich, travelled there in 1997. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

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. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan next month to show support for Taipei as the island comes under growing pressure from Beijing. China's foreign ministry today denounced the planned visit as a malicious provocation. Dr. Burkhardt and I have plenty of international news to share with you today. So we'll start with this story. South China Morning Post, Beijing warns U.S. will bear all consequences if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan in August. Now, this is a reschedule of a visit that she was supposed to have back in April, but she came down with COVID.

But this is the timing is really bad right now because China is very much aware of the rising tensions there with Taiwan. Beijing has warned that the U.S. will bear all consequences and face, listen to this term, forceful measures from Beijing if U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan as reported. Financial Times report on Tuesday said Pelosi would take a delegation to Taiwan next month. It would be the first visit by a U.S. Speaker of the House to the self-ruled island in 25 years. Pelosi would be the most senior U.S. lawmaker to visit the island since one of her predecessors, a speaker, Republican Newt Gingrich, traveled there in 97. Speaking in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman

Zhao Linjian called on the U.S. not to arrange Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, which he said would seriously undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. He said, if the U.S. stubbornly sticks to this, China will definitely take resolute and forceful measures to firmly defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, he said. The u.s. must fully be excuse me must be fully responsible for all the consequences caused by this Rick what are you reading into that last statement there exactly what it says but they're telling Beijing is telling the American leaders whatever happens happens, you're responsible. And I guess it's up to us to imagine what could happen.

You know, you look at these things and, okay, do we have the right to travel somewhere? Sure. Does Nancy Pelosi have the right to travel to Taiwan? Sure she does, okay. Is it wise to do it at this time? Is there wisdom in it? That's the question. And

the third question is is it a deliberate decision? I mean obviously it's deliberate on her part. But it requires obviously the U.S. State Department and the White House are coordinating. They've greenlit it at some point. And the U.S. State Department and the White House are coordinating.

Right, they've greenlit it at some point. And the Pentagon. I mean, we are talking about the Speaker of the House. It's not just a member of the House. It's the Speaker of the House. Right. Okay. And so China is looking at this as a,

what they say, a provocation. And I mean, from a completely just neutral objective viewpoint it is a provocation because everybody in the planet knows that there's tension right now between the United States and China and Taiwan is the center of that tension so anything you do involving Taiwan is the center of that tension. So anything you do involving Taiwan is going to make things hotter. So you have to assume that as a decision has been made, let's turn up the heat, because that's what this visit is going to do. Right. They have to know that there will be some sort of response from China.

Right. Of course. And they're engaging that response, aren't they? Right. So you have to decide, do you want the heat? Is this something you want? And what is the purpose for increasing the heat in the South Pacific? What do we get out of it? Because there's been a decision made to turn up the heat. But when you're in the beginning of World War III, is this what you want?

And it may be that's what they want. They want this full confrontation between Russia and China. I mean, the craziest thought that I can come up with is that the ruling class, the ruling elite of America, truly want to take on Russia, China, and Iran at the same time. It just seems so wild, so crazy, that you think nobody in their right mind would plan this. But that seems to be the direction we're going we're already far down that road with russia we're moving in that direction with china and the israelis are are dragging out the bit ready to go against i mean joe biden Biden was in Israel last week and said, you know, a military strike is,

you know, that's a possibility. If diplomacy doesn't work, a military strike will work. That was the first time you had a U.S. president say, we will use the military against Iran. So it appears that the ruling class wants a confrontation with all three countries and that they plan to take them all out at the same time. To me, it's madness. I wish we had leaders that said, hey, let's bring everything down. Let's get the ships running again. Let's get the railroads running again. Let's get the world back in some order. Living under this kind of tension all the time

where we're always thinking about will World War III break out? I don't like living under this kind of tension. And I wish that we had leaders that would set a course in foreign policy to say, let's resolve differences. Let's come up with a 100-year peace treaty. Let's work out everything, and the world has peace for 100 years. And the money that we're spending on war, we'll spend it on making life better for

people. Why is that an idea that sounds impossible? Well, in my view, it is impossible because the heart of man doesn't change. The heart of man wants more. The heart of man has pride. The heart of man, if you've got more toys than me, I want your toys and my toys. So it's in our nature, our very nature. That's why Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers because really there are very few. He was talking about peace in the proclamation the gospel but the principle still applies peacemakers are few Rick very few war makers there they they you get them by the gross I think I think Jesus meant more than just the proclamation the gospel because the gospel is the I mean we're proclaiming the prince of peace but i believe he

meant blessed are the peacemakers in life people that resolve differences people that that bring down the temperature um you know lead people away from confrontation uh that's in the workplace that's in school that's in families it's in the workplace. That's in school. That's in families. It's in neighborhoods. In nations. In cities and nations. But we don't, can you name one person

on the world scene today who is a spokesman for world peace? No. Not a single one. Nobody. There's nobody out there. No one out there

crying peace. And the problem with all the war in the world is it keeps the gospel of peace from being preached. And that's one of the challenges that we have. So we should be peacemakers. We should pray for peace as believers. Pray for peace in the world. But we also have to recognize that the heart of man is evil.

And, of course, Satan is being released in these last days, and he is tempting mankind to set up a Luciferian world order. And so Jesus said, you shall have troubled times. That's right. Perilous times, wars and rumors of wars. I want to jump down to number eight, Chinese military issues warning to U.S. This is published by RT in Russia. And it says Beijing vows to defend its territorial integrity after Washington approved a major arms deal with Taiwan. So here we go again, Doc. This is a

deliberate decision. Yes. We got a couple of quotes from this article. Yeah. The foreign and defense ministries in Beijing issued harsh statements on money condemning the Biden administration's approval of a new U.S. arms sale to Taiwan. The deal is worth more, worth an estimated $108 million and includes armored vehicle parts and technical assistance. Beijing demands that the U.S. immediately withdraw the above-mentioned arms sales plan to Taiwan. Halt all other such arms deals and cut military ties with the islands, said the Defense Ministry spokesman, Colonel Tan Kefei. Otherwise, the U.S. side will be solely responsible for undermining the relationship

between China and the U.S. and the two militaries and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. So here we are once again. It's just like the Ukraine playbook. Russia said don't be moving NATO equipment and everything into Ukraine. Don't be moving, you know, continuing these deepening military alliances with Ukraine. It's a direct threat against Russia, whether you are for or against Russia. That's just the facts, Jack.

And that's so we're seeing it played out once again. China saying we're going to consider this a direct military threat against mainland China. The $108 million that the U.S. approved for military weapons to Taiwan, it's armored vehicle parts and technical assistance, not necessarily weapons, that was approved by the Congress. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. Is she going to deliver the check in person? Is that the idea? I'm very serious about this. I believe she's going to go there and crow in public that she's the one that orchestrated this military assistance package. So these two go hand in hand.

Her visit and the military aid to Taiwan. They're coordinated. Somebody in the Biden administration, in the State Department, in the White House is arranging that these two things happen in the month of August, in late July, early August, to ramp up the pressure as we go into the fall. The next one, this is interesting. NBC News, General Milley orders Pentagon staff to gather information on every interaction between Chinese and U.S. militaries amid rising tension.

Now Rick, this is an interesting article because we know that General Milley has contacted his Chinese counterpart in the past, talked about that, but this is kind of taking on a different tone here. It says, the nation's top general has ordered his staff to gather information about every interaction between the U.S. military and

the Chinese military over the past five years to review the growing number of interactions with the Chinese military in the South China Sea and beyond, say three defense officials. Now this order from General Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, came after a video teleconference call between Milley and his Chinese counterpart back on July 7th, during the call, General Li Xiaoping, the chief of the Joint Staff Department for the People's Liberation Army of China, so his counterpart, disputed the U.S. contention that there has been an uptick in aggressive behavior by Chinese military aircraft and ships against U.S. and allied military operating in international waters that the Chinese view as their own territorial waters.

And so, you know, this is a different tone than we heard back when, back before when there were the conversations, the back channels of communications in order to prevent a war. Remember the conversation, the news items that we had? You mean when General Milley was committing sedition against Donald Trump? So what changed? What's happened here? Now we're in direct confrontation with China, according to Milley? Because that's what this is sounding like to me. It is.

The impression I'm getting, Doc, is that General Milley had this phone call, what was it, July 7th, with the head of the Chinese military, and it was a heated phone call. It wasn't a polite, you know, how's the baseball team doing conversation. I think that there was a lot of tension in that phone call.

And General Milley accused the Chinese military of doing acts of provocation, bringing their ships close to American ships, flying their fighter jets close to American aircraft. And I believe the Chinese general denied it. And General Milley said, American ships flying their fighter jets close to American aircraft,

and I believe the Chinese general denied it, and General Milley said, I'm going to get you the evidence. And now he's ordered everybody in the Pentagon, bring to me every case you know about of Chinese military vessels getting dangerously close to American vessels in the air or sea. I think that's what's going on.

He's going to present a report and document dates, times, places, distance. But I don't think it was a friendly phone call. So when Donald Trump was president, Milley was all hugs and kisses with his Chinese counterpart. Yes, that's true. Now Joe Biden is halfway president. And so now we've got to instigate trouble with China at this point. Which is interesting

trying to figure this out because Joe Biden is owned by the Chinese. Okay, so. But does Joe Biden have an expiration date? Because I don't know if you've noticed, Rick, but this last trip to the Middle East, wow, it just seemed like struggles all the way. And they've kept him undercover since he's gotten back, too. They haven't laid him loose out on the lawn. So what, do they have to increase the meds to keep him functional? Well, that's the rumor that's going on,

that he's having to take medicine, supplements, in order to just get through the day. So that could be a reason, too, where Milley is upping things up with the Chinese because he sees that maybe the Chinese see a weak president right now, you know where millie is upping things up with the chinese because he sees that maybe the chinese see a weak uh president right now or at least a weak seat of the presidency here in the u.s the whole world sees it a friend of mine in in the middle east sent me a a you know humorous video of Joe Biden stepping off the Air Force One.

It was, you know, it wasn't real, but he tumbled and rolled all the way down the steps onto the tarmac, okay? And the video was in Arabic. So that's going all over the Middle East. Yeah, it was in Arabic, that's the thing. But the Arabs are saying, this is Joe Biden. Yes.

He's not a threat. He's a bumbling, senile old man. Nobody takes him seriously. And I don't think anybody in the world does. But they're trying to figure out who is running the United States right now. Right. My view is it is Barack Hussein Obama. Via Susan Rice in the White House. She's working

in there every day. Almost everybody in the White House are Obama retreads. It is an Obama administration. It's his third term. But if there was a war, does China need, I don't think China wants a war with the United States. But at the same time, they're looking at Ukraine and they, you know, they don't see NATO really supporting Ukraine. I mean, other than equipment, NATO doesn't want to get blood on its hands. They come right out and say, yeah, we'll supply weapons, but we don't want a war or anything.

And then China may be looking, you know, we might just be able to take Taiwan without firing a shot. So it's going to be interesting to see how all this plays out here over the next few months. The fact of the matter is that if we give off the appearance of weakness, especially in the office of president, nations are going to take advantage of that, and they have to this point. Okay, so the situation we have is we have an elderly, senile man in the White House that nobody in the world believes is running the White House. Seriously, nobody does. Even the Democrats. There are no Democrats that believe Joe Biden is running the White House.

There's just nobody believes it, okay? So the Russians know Joe Biden is incompetent. They know he's mentally incompetent. His mind is gone, okay? The Chinese know it.

The Arabs know it. They all know it. But the difference with the Chinese is they own him. Right. Okay? He is their, see now, old man.

But the guy that they put so much money into, what use is he to them now? Because his mind's gone. They used to be able to talk to him behind closed doors and make deals. And his son, Hunter, facilitated those deals. Over breakfast and lunch meetings and everything with Dad. And Papa Biden had his full mind and could make deals and deliver on selling out the United States of America. The man that they've invested in is wasted.

His mind's gone. So they helped get him in the White House. They helped get rid of Donald Trump. Donald Trump was a major problem to the Chinese. Yes. Donald Trump was a major problem to the Chinese in confronting them on trade, the theft of intellectual property, on control of the South China Sea, on COVID, the China virus.

Right. So the Chinese Communist Party conspired with their American branch called the Democratic Party. They conspired with the American news media. They conspired with people in the government, in the Pentagon, in the State Department to get rid of Donald Trump. But the man that was put in place, even though he's bought and paid for by China, he's of no use to them anymore. Because his mind is gone. He's become the mad king. So now they've got to figure out what do you do with him and who's making the decisions because somebody's making decisions that are

angering china but it's not joe biden you know for all we know joe biden's sitting in a big chair with a lollipop i mean honestly seriously the guy is gone mentally gone and again everybody in the world knows it. So they're all wondering who is making the decisions. And if World War fighting

breaks out, who's running the White House? Is it really Kamala Harris? Seriously? The only thing that scares me about Kamala Harris at this time is still William Brannan. Oh, the last president?

The 1933 vision that he had, and the Lord showed him seven things that were going to happen, and five of them have already happened since 1933. Five of those things really have happened. And the last two was an evil woman was in control of America. And the last thing was he saw the country smoldering. It had been burned down.

Right. Okay. You know, I used to think it was Hillary Clinton. But Hillary's not going to be the president. Are we going into World War III with Kamala Harris, whose name is the devil? Right. Are we going into World War III with her leading the country? Because Joe Biden, I don't know if he can make it till Christmas. What happens, Doc, if he

expires this fall as things really become tense with Russia and China. And Kamala Harris is the president of the United States. How are you going to feel about that? Cackling Kamala. The candidate who came in last place in the Democratic primaries. Imagine you're so bad that the Democrats don't want you. Think about that. I mean, she's so bad that even the Democrats didn't want her.

And imagine her running the country in a crisis this November, December. And obviously, some Democrats see some weakness there. Gavin Newsom was out visiting D.C. and New York this week. Yeah, but they can't get rid of her if she becomes the president for two years. That's true, but they have to have somebody in their pocket to be able to take over. You and I,

I really think it's going to be Michelle Obama. But I'm saying, what does China and Russia do? They don't care about the next election in 24. World War III isn't going to wait until the election. Russia do, they don't care about the next election in 24. World War III isn't going to wait until the election. The next election. They're going to move while the opportunity is there, where the White House is leaderless.

Right, in disarray. In total disarray. Being led by Kamala Harris, what a scary thought. I mean, that's like incompetence. The only one I can think of more, well, if she became president, you know who they would make vice president? Pete Buttigieg.

I absolutely believe that. Now, think about incompetence that's gone to seed. Right. All right, now you have... You got the second, you got the last place and the second to last place

primary candidates for the Democrats from the previous election. The two losers. Running the country as nukes are flying. That is a scary thought. And the only reason

why they would do Pete Buttigieg is he's gay. That's it. That's the only reason. It doesn't matter what qualifications he had. He had no political experience. It would be he's gay. He's going to be the new vice president.

Which is why he's transportation secretary. He has no knowledge whatsoever of anything involving transportation. And he's there for one reason so anyhow just think about that as uh as this world war continues to ramp up while we're on the topic of hunter biden new york post reporting hunter biden laptop shows dozens of meetings with dear old dad that's right rick hunter biden met with his father at least 30 times at the White House or the Vice President's residence, often just days after he returned home from overseas business jaunts. These breakfasts, lunches, and other gab fest between 2008 and 2016 are raising questions about whether Hunter was

relaying messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients and now cast new doubt on the President's repeated denials that he had any role in his son's shady overseas business dealings. Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter Biden's investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, is named as a calendar invite recipient on 21 of those 30 listed meetings with a green check frequently indicating his confirmed receipt of the invite for meetings with the vice president. Schwerin was a longtime Hunter Biden business confidant and had access to the elder Biden's personal financial information. That right there wipes out any excuse, any explanation by the Biden family of saying it was just family get-togethers.

Right. The son, Hunter, was traveling. He came home. He wanted to see his dear old dad. Oh, but you brought your business partner with you. Right. On two-thirds of the meetings. The business partner that had access to Joe Biden's financial information.

That's right. Knew where all the money was. That's right. So this story continues to develop, but mainstream media, of course, completely ignores it. So what does this mean for us? It means that the world

is still ratcheting up for war, doesn't it? It does. It does. There's a story out of Daily Mail. I've not seen this yet. I just saw the headline. So, Doc, have

you read this? Yes, and it's based, we've watched some of Russia Media Monitor's clips and everything. They watch a number of the TV news shows in Russia. This is what they're watching on their version of Fox or CNN or MSNBC over in Russia. You're seeing a gentleman like this, this Притом, сочните сюжет. that they're talking about here on one of the evening talk shows with Mr. Slovia. So let's watch this. У вас почему в Британском музее египетских пирамид нет? Вы просто их сточить, доточить не могли. Все, что было, сперли. Адмирал Тони Радакин. Кого ты адмирал?

Где ты что добился? Еще они нам будут что-то рассказывать. Что же мне? Страна одного сармата. Цитирую Дмитрия Олеговича Рогозина. Ну, не одного все-таки. Одного. Побольше потребуется.

Нет, Шотландию мы трогать не будем. Шотландия будет свободной. А Уэльс, да? А Уэльс пока молчит. Ну, и Уэльс будет свободной. И по требованию Байдена Северная Ирландия объединится с Ирландией. То есть Юнион Джек будет выборочно. Да, такой весь. know moscow uh and let me know we'll save the rest of russia but we'll just nuke moscow and just be

laughing about it would be you know uh you know just unheard of for that to happen but this is what the russian people are seeing every night on their television good or bad pro or con russian no matter what that's where they're at where they are in just casual conversation talking about nuclear war and wiping out Great Britain. Basically wiping out an entire country. And he said one Sarmat, the other guy said no, more than one.

Really, if you know if the Sarmat is as powerful as the Russians are saying, maybe you want to use maybe 1 16th on England. My son Jeremy showed me something Sunday, and I'll get him to send it to me. He showed me a chart, a graph.

It had two mushroom clouds. Oh, all the size of the mushroom clouds from Hiroshima up until today? Well, yes. Then it showed the current size of the American, I guess, the Minuteman. Yes. And then it was compared to a Chinese nuclear warhead. Okay?

So, you know, there's a big difference between the strength, the power of the Chinese warhead and the American. But when the next graph then compared the American warhead and the Chinese warhead to the Russian. Yes. And on that graph, the Chinese warhead, which was much bigger than the U.S. And when I say warhead, I'm talking about the explosive power. The Chinese explosive power of the warhead was a dot. A dot. That's why when the Russians say, we can use one.

I think they said, was it two? I always forget the number they said, two or five would take out the entire state of Texas, destroy the entire state of Texas. Which would be about the size of the UK. Yeah. So. Well, if they drop one on, you know, they don't drop them. If one comes in on a missile and hits London, Wales and Scotland are going up with it. Sure. And Ireland and everything else. Okay.

None of them are going to be spared. But you're right. They're just on national television. They're just talking about nuking countries like. Like we do it every day. Yeah. That's what's scary, Doc. We've reached that point.

That nuking talk, discussion about nuking countries is not commonplace. Because they've come to terms that... They're going to do it. They're going to do it. That's, you know, that's acceptable now. Because you don't see protests in Russia or anything like that from people

saying, hey, let's don't drop nukes on anybody. No. It's on TV. They're watching it every night. That's right. And they're prepping the public for it. Next one, I think I'm going to skip the, just to do the headline, Israel, Hayom, Putin in Tehran for talks with leaders of Iran and Turkey, that took place today. Yes. They did issue a joint statement regarding Syria. There wasn't anything in it of any great importance.

It was mostly diplomatic googly gook. The three of them are going to work to resolve the differences in Syria and get all the foreign powers out of Syria, whatever. But there wasn't anything concrete in the statement. But Erdogan was also there because he's working back channels to try to figure out how to get grain shipments out of Ukraine going through Turkey.

So he's working out deals on that. Oh, I bet they drop off some of the Ukrainian wheat into Turkey. And so they're working out deals here. That wheat is going to get out of Ukraine, and it's going to go through Turkey and get sold. Just like the Saudis. Rick, you know the Saudis are buying Russian oil. The Saudis?

Saudis are buying Russian oil. The Saudis? Saudis are buying Russian oil. Why? Because it's so cheap. But they produce oil. They can buy it cheaper. So they're laundering oil? Yes. That's what they're doing.

They're laundering oil. Yes. They're purchasing, just like Erdogan is working out this deal on wheat, getting the really cheap wheat because they can't get it out of the country, but you can get it to Turkey. So Erdogan's doing that. The Saudis are doing that with oil. So Erdogan will be selling laundered wheat.

Yes, just like the Saudis. And MBS is selling laundered oil. What a world we live in. What a world, what a world. Somebody's going to get it. Somebody's going to make some money at it. Yes. This next article I found today in the Jerusalem Post,

CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. Don't they meet here in Florida, Doc? Well, they have. They've met up the road in Orlando. Well, this meeting isn't in Orlando. No, it's not even in the United States. It's in Tel Aviv, Rick. CPAC has moved their operations to Israel.

Now, so this story, this Jerusalem Post here, over 2,000 people are expected to attend Hangar 11 at the Port of Tel Aviv on Wednesday for the first international conservative conference in Tel Aviv, co-hosted by CPAC, Tel Aviv International Salon, Sillemeyer Publishing, and Shibboleth Press. As we stated, adding these CPACs around the world, they're franchising, Rick, so many people said that we should go to Israel. And obviously a lot of our American supporters thought that would be great, said Matt Schlapp, CPAC chairman.

He said that the conference is about making connection with conservatives in Israel about what we have in common and about what the challenges are in a very dangerous world. He went on to say that there's a strong bond, did he say bond or bondage, between the U.S. and Israel? And it's quite a dynamic partnership said Schlapp and if America embraces this idea that somehow Israel should be boycotted and that we should separate our historic bonds which a lot

of people in the Democratic Party now want to do it would be tragic and we're just trying to make sure that never happens, Rick. So the bottom line in this story is that the American conservative movement and the Republican Party are heavily infiltrated by Zionists. That's the bottom line. That's what you need to know about this. The next story is also about Zionism. And Nikki Haley hinted that she may run for president in 2024. And she made this statement at Pastor John Hagee's. Kufi Conference.

Kufi, the Kufi Conference. And listen, that's the headline in Jerusalem Post right there. Nikki Haley hints that 2024 presidential run promises no Iran deal at Christian Zionist rally. Now, Rick, Jerusalem Post can print this. Can you say it? No. Okay. No, I just can't say it. You can't say it. But they can publish it. And so she's hinting that she's going to run for president. Now, the way she did it was like this. Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, hinted that she would become a candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidential elections during a speech she made late Monday night at Christian United for Israel's 17th annual

Washington Summit. She said, if this president signs any sort of Iran nuclear deal, I'll make you a promise. The next president will shred it on her first day in office, Haley said near the end of her speech at the event entitled A Night to Honor Israel. Just saying, sometimes it takes a woman, she told the cheering crowd. And she has received several endorsements from Christians United for Israel. She's definitely their candidate, unless something drastic changes. Maybe William Brennan's dream about an evil woman, maybe it's not Kamala Harris.

It might be somebody else later, you know, after 2024. You know, it's interesting. That particular article went on to say something about Nikki Haley that she is very difficult to work with. I never got that impression before. But the article made a point to bring that out. This was Kamala Harris. Right.

And so that got me to thinking, well, so, you know, talking along your lines of the last president being a woman, I mean, it could be. I mean, Nikki Haley loves a good war. And so it could be very well that she would fit the mold on that. This next story is in Revolver. The hidden agenda behind the New York Times desperate puff piece on Ray Epps. So, Rick, have you actually seen this article in New York Times?

No. I read it over the weekend, and it was a puff piece. Ray Epps, for those that don't know who Ray Epps is, is this mysterious individual that was around D.C. the January 4th through 7th during the everything going on with the rally and at the Capitol and everything and he is actually seen on video several different times encouraging people go to the Capitol you know go there and do this and as a matter of fact right at the very just a few days after the January 6th event Ray Epps was actually on the FBI's most wanted list for a little while.

They were trying to locate him. They were trying to find him, like a John Dillinger when you're on the FBI's most wanted list. And then they took him off. And there's been so much speculation around Ray Epps and his connections to the deep state and everything. They actually have him on video calling for, let's go to the Capitol.

I mean, he was rounding them up. I've seen the videos ever since January 6th. He's never arrested. He's not held in jail without bail like other people. He actually testified in private to the January 6th committee. Why was it in private? That's a great question. Why would it need to be in private? When they have somebody who has third-hand knowledge, they put that person on TV.

That's right. So this person would have first-hand knowledge. So the way the New York Times piece puts it out he's just trying to live a normal life in his RV out I forget it's in Utah or somewhere like that and you know it's Texas yeah somewhere out west that he just trying to live a normal life now and the only reason he would grant an interview to the New York Times is that they wouldn't publish his address so so they had, the way they portrayed him is

that he was, you know, basically he's the victim here in all of this. But let's just do a clip here. This first one, this number 31 for control. This is a compilation of some of the different things that Mr. Epps said that they have arrested and jailed people for less in all this January 6th nonsense going on. So let's watch this and might have a comment or two. We need to go into the Capitol!

Into the Capitol! Tomorrow? I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested. Well, let's not say it. We need to go... I'll say it. All right. We need to go in- Shut the up, Boomer. To the Capitol.

The president is not speaking. We are going to the Capitol where our problems are. It's that direction. We spread the word. All right, no, David, one more thing. Yeah, so can we go up there? No? When we go in, leave this here?

Are we gonna get arrested if we go up there? Yeah, you don't need to get shot. Can you arrest us all? You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him! You have to stop him!

You have to stop him! So several incidents where they show him, you know, encouraging people to go to the Capitol. You know, as I said, other people have... Did the FBI ever go to his ranch and question him? Well, that's a great question. There's no evidence of that. No. Okay.

But they've questioned others for a lot less. Yes. Well... But they've questioned others for a lot less. Yes. Well, there was an insurrection in this country. There was a takedown. But it was led by the deep state. Yes. They ousted the President of the United States. There was a coup.

The coup started, it actually started before the 2016 election. Right. When they knew he was going to win and they started planting evidence, fake evidence against Donald Trump. They began laying the trap in 2016, knowing he was going to win. They knew Hillary couldn't pull it off.

They started laying the evidence for the takedown. And so what we witnessed for four years was a coordinated destabilization of the sitting president of the United States of America where powerful people used the same tactics against the elected American president that the CIA uses on third world nations to destabilize them. All they did is supersize it. And they had all the assistance of social media, tech companies, the news media. They were able to supersize it. Yes. And they pulled it off.

That's the real story. And what they've tried to do is turn into the villains the citizens who knew the president had been overthrown and they made them the villains yes and now if you even suggest that an election was rigged you might go to jail you probably will lose your job. You will be branded as a dangerous radical if you just say that an election was rigged. But the Democrats said for four years the 2016 election was rigged. Yes, so they could say it.

And then they did it in 2020. But now you couldn't say it after that. That's right, that's the way it works, Doc. You got it. Now you see how it works. I'm going to skip down to number 38. I've been noticing a trend in recent weeks, COVID news popping up a lot of places. So the World Health Organization of Europe warns of challenging COVID-19 autumn and winter. There's even talk of bringing back the mask mandates and the vaccine mandates and the lockdowns.

In spite of the fact that- Like we miss it. Oh, we want those good old days to come back. In spite of the fact it has been proven that the mask make no statistical difference in whether you get COVID or not. San Diego schools are, I think, looking at a mask mandate. Los Angeles County schools have already implemented a mask mandate.

The West Coast is going back to mask mandates. They can't give up the power. The power tasted so good. Millions of people actually submitted to them, and it tasted so good to them. They have to have another lick of it. They just got to get it on their tongue one more time. And so they're going to bring it back.

But one other thing we might want to consider, Doc, is will the next wave of lockdowns, if they attempt it, will it be actually a cover-up for the war operation that's going on? In other words, there's not enough gasoline for you to drive around, so we'll just lock you down. Lock you down. Yeah, I could really see that. We don't have enough energy for things. Just lock you down, all right? There's not enough food in the stores.

We're just going to lock you down. I think Europe is the key on this. You'll see it happen in Europe first. You'll start seeing it happen there. Energy lockdowns. You'll start seeing energy lockdowns, and that'll be your clue to what's gonna happen here. Isn't that the same as declaring martial law? It is. I would think so.

So if people were mad at the government, you know, it's wintertime, they don't have any heating fuel, the kids are cold, and you got Germans and they're angry, and you got Germans and they're angry. And you got Dutch and they're angry. I mean, look what the Dutch farmers did in the past couple weeks.

They're driving their tractors and everything. Oh, yeah. Whoever thought you'd get Dutch farmers angry? Dumping manure down in downtown. They know how to do it. They know how to do an insurrection. They'll throw shoes in the machinery.

Yeah, but if that's the level of discontent this fall, the way this deep state regime operates is that they don't confront, they don't acknowledge your frustration. They come at you with power. But from another direction. From another direction, and they announce an energy lockdown, which is actually martial law. Because you can't go anywhere, you can't do anything.

And the same people who are angry about there's no heat will go into their house and shiver because there's a lockdown that's what they're hoping it may not work people may just say no we're going to start a fire somewhere because Because we're cold. It might be down there at the government's offices right now. Civil unrest is very, very likely. We're already seeing it in small countries. Sri Lanka has already collapsed. The president fled.

Yes. And Kazakhstan this week is breaking out in riots too. Is it? Yes. It started happening back Sunday. So there's another nation that's kind of stirring things up. But if you don't have COVID to worry about, well, there's another pandemic right in the shadows here,

and that's monkeypox. And can you believe they have mass monkeypox vaccination sites already open in New York City? And people are lining up, standing in line all day to get a vaccine. Mostly gay men. Right.

So, what do we say about that? Well, we'll just say that a lot of gay guys are trying to get vaccination for monkeypox. Why? Because there's a plague.

Yes. It's an old-fashioned plague. That's enough to say about it. Another story. This is Summit News. A new dystopian UK law would give all social media users a truth score. Yes, so this is an interesting story here. In another manifestation of the onerous social credit score system,

an amendment to a bill in the UK would mandate all social media users be given a truth score that predetermines the accuracy of their post. So this amendment states that any users who have produced user generated content, published news, or merely posted comments or reviews should be ranked by the platform in question with a score denoting their historic factual accuracy. The rules would apply to anyone who receives a certain threshold of online views with that figure to be determined by the UK communications regulator Ofcom. So, Rick, even if you comment on a post,

your comment itself, your opinion, is going to be judged based upon the current truth. Whatever that truth happens to be at the time. So the platforms that anybody that attracts a certain number of

viewers, if you have a following you will come under this regulation. Yes. And those that comment on it come under it too. Yeah. So this is where we're headed with this. And if it's happening in the UK,

you've got to know that they're licking their chops here to do it here in the US as well. Well, Canada's doing it. So. Canada's going to regulate the internet. They have a bill

in the parliament there. Freedom of speech is under severe attack. And the way to fight it is to? Get rid of it. No, the way to fight the attack on freedom of speech is to speak freely. That's true. Just speak freely.

Final news. Fortunately, it turned out not to be as bad as what it appeared in the beginning, and that is a fire broke out at the Hoover Dam near Las Vegas. Oh, man, my first thought when I saw this was, oh, here we go. Meat, you know, food processing plants. Right. Oil refineries. Now electric generation plants.

And a historic one at that. Yes. Built in the 1930s. You ever been there, Hoover Dam? No. I've flown over it. No, I've been there. I used to visit it every time I went to Vegas. It's an amazing structure. flown over it that's that's been there i used to visit it every time i went to vegas it's amazing

structure uh after 9 11 they closed it that you can't get you can't get up to it now well actually now they've got it open where you can walk across again and so did they yeah because we're going to show you video uh there was actually people up on uh the road i guess overlooks and actually had cell phone video that looked down to this explosion and fire and so we got a little bit of video of that and then we got some of the report from the TV station there in Las Vegas so let's watch this the folks get your video on that there's just been an incident here my goodness something's just blown, something's just blown out. We're going to be leaving now, so we're going to be trapped in there. Something has just blown out. Yep. Good afternoon. We start with

breaking news. A transformer explosion at Hoover Dam. Thick black smoke and fire rising from one of the generator houses as tourists and others look on from above. That was the scene earlier this morning over at the dam, and certainly things are, well, it's not like this right now. This is video from earlier at the dam itself. We thank you for joining us here on 8 News Now. I'm John Langler. The fire was reported at about 10.30 this morning. Boulder City Fire says the fire was put out really before they got there.

Let's go to David Charns, who is live at the scene right now. David, what can you see? Yeah, John, we're on the I-11 bridge, which you know goes over the Colorado River. It's right next to Hoover Dam. And as you see here, we'll zoom down and show you where this fire was. As you mentioned, it was at a transformer area next to one of the Power Generation buildings. Now, we're going to show you that video from earlier where the transformer exploded around 10 this morning. Witnesses seeing it from where i'm standing right now you see a big plume and smoke and fire there the alarms were going off we have confirmed a transformer did explode on the arizona side

of the dam here as i mentioned the turbines inside there are about a dozen of them on both sides of the river here they make make power, hydropower. Clearly, something went wrong and that transformer exploded, but exactly what went wrong, we don't have the answer to yet. All we know is there was a fire, and when Boulder City Fire crews got here, it was out. Keep in mind, though, even though I'm wearing a fleece on this very hot day, it is above 100 degrees. There were people standing where I am on the overpass here watching but at this point you wouldn't know that there was a fire a lot of people exploring the dam everything pretty much back to normal John back to

you yeah David I spoke with someone at the boulder said the Boulder Dam Hotel in Boulder City and they had heard that tourists were coming back to town because they weren't allowed at the dam anymore but But you're saying it's opened back up again. People can walk around not only where you are on the Tillman Bridge, but down on the dam itself. Yeah, clearly not in tourist gear today, but we were able to get through Boulder Dam security. No one pretty much said anything.

And a lot of people who we've talked to who are on the overpass here, because as you see, you get this gorgeous view of the dam and then what happened below. No one seems to actually know. A lot of tourists don't know there was a transformer explosion here. So a scary moment at about 10 this morning, but everything back to normal. So your first thought when you saw this story was? Terrorism.

Yes. So that's the world we live in now. And war. War. Sabotage. And I think we ought to take this just as a precaution of how quickly things can change in a matter of hours. Right. which is an energy crisis, and people are without heat, and fuel for vehicles is sky high,

and Europe is without natural gas, okay? A series of explosions at US utilities, just think of the panic you would have in this country at a time of war. That's what you should be prepared for. A series of those happening in one day could throw the country into chaos. And our grid is already susceptible to electromagnetic pulse attacks or just being overloaded. Texas right now,

with the extreme heat that's going on in the state of Texas, it's just overwhelming it. Oh, gosh. Several years ago, what state was it in that somebody, there was a terrorist team that was repeatedly firing

firing rifles into a power plant or power substation i think it was do you remember i think was it like in new mexico or arizona Somewhere in the West. I think Dr. Pryor is one of the people that we talked to about it. That there was something very mysterious going on. That somebody was aiming at a weak spot in the power plant to bring it down. So, you know, that happened a few years ago, but it was a dry run. It was a practice. And that's what Dr. Pryor said.

This was a dry run. This was a practice. They were, somebody was attempting to see how close that they can get. And in 2020, there was a drone attack on an electrical substation in Pennsylvania too. That's right. And so once again, as Rick says, we already have a fragile electric grid. It's actually not a single grid. It's about eight or nine grids connected together. And any one of them that gets

overloaded or incapacitated, the other grids will work to try to make up for the loss, but that could cause a cascade effect across the entire country. You know, if you remember the blackout in New York was actually caused by a problem up in Quebec, you know, years ago. And so there was that cascade effect. That was only a minor thing. We're, you know, we're susceptible to solar flares.

Solar flares could knock out the grid, and that's just weather. But we're susceptible to solar flares. Yes. Solar flares could knock out the grid. And that's just weather. Yes. But we're in a time of war. Yes. And if war really heats up this fall and winter, then you can expect sabotage activities inside the USA.

We're going to wrap it up at this point. I do want to encourage you to make your pledge about miracle money. The true stories, the testimonies have been pouring in here today, and it's been very exciting. Even members of our staff are receiving miracle money. And Doc and I will take some time tomorrow to tell you about it. This is all you've got to do. Just make a pledge to God that if he will give you miracle money between today and August 31st, stretching it out over a

month, that you promise that you will share half with True News, keep the other half for yourself, and then keep your vow. Keep your promise. And watch what happens. We have people who are contacting us, people watching this show, and they're emailing us saying, my miracle money showed up within one hour. And these stories are really encouraging. They really lift your faith.

When you see the variety of ways that God brought miracle money to people, you might say, well, why would God do that? He loves you, and He wants you to trust Him. He wants you to trust Him. He wants you to believe Him. He wants you to look to Him for everything that you need. There'll be a day that you have to believe him. He wants you to look to him for everything that you need.

There will be a day that you have to believe for miracle food. That's what he wants you to believe, for miracle food. And there are stories in the Bible that people needed God to provide miracle food. And those times are going to come back. And they may be a lot sooner than we realize. So build up your faith muscles. It's fun. Yes.

It's fun and watch what happens. Let's just say I've had a fun day. You had a double fun day. We'll talk more about that tomorrow. He had two, two miracle money appear. All right, This is amazing. We'll be back tomorrow. We'll tell you some of these stories, but you can do it

now. Make that pledge. Just say, God, please, Father, I believe you. I'm asking you for miracle money. I'll send half of it to True News. I'll keep the other half for myself, and I promise to keep my vow. And then just start waiting.

Just watch what happens and then email us and tell us what happened. God bless. We'll see you tomorrow. The preceding program was made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, visit www.truenews.com.
