Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Today's True News episode will be much shorter than usual for several reasons. First, we started recording episodes of the new Rick Wiles Today half-hour program that will launch next week on two national television networks and on a third network on June 6th. Second, I'm still getting over a cold and I'm trying to conserve my voice. And third, the biggest news story in America today is the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre.
Starting point is 00:01:07 And it is extremely disturbing. And I don't feel like talking about a lot of news today. There's something very wrong with this country's soul. And it's time the American people deal with it. Most of our report today will be focused on another disturbing news story, the Chinese Communist Party's concentration camps. And I think these two stories may go together. Let's see where it goes. So Dr. Burkhardt is here with me.
Starting point is 00:01:44 CNN reporting today, Uvalde school shooter wrote, I'm going to shoot an elementary school on Facebook before the attack. Right, Rick. That was before killing 19 children and two teachers, most of them in a single classroom from what we're hearing now, in a Texas elementary school on Tuesday. The 18-year-old gunman wrote about his intentions on Facebook. He also killed his grandmother as well before going on the attack in the elementary school.
Starting point is 00:02:16 So, Doug, I read, I mean, first of all, I love children so much. And I have 10 grandchildren. I can't even imagine the grief I would be in today if I received a phone call that a gunman shot my grandchildren in school today. Or hearing the reports in the media that there was a shooting at your school. And you can't pick up your children. You can't go. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:51 You're not allowed to get in. But anyhow, there are parents of 19 children in Texas today crying, weeping, distraught. They're grandparents. There are brothers and sisters that are hurting, devastated. And then the families of the adults. I don't know who thinks about shooting children. I don't know who thinks about shooting children. I don't know who thinks about shooting anybody. We deal with it here.
Starting point is 00:03:30 You know, two weeks ago, how many times did we call the police because people were posting online messages, I'm going to shoot up true news today. Well, you have to take this seriously. In this day and age, you have to take this seriously in this day and age you have to yes it really may be a nut case who honestly is going to burst through the door and try to shoot everybody you can't he posted on this young man posted online before he did it and that's what we were trying to say to the police you have to take this seriously this this guy that's saying he's going to kill Rick Wallace today may really mean it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 So this guy did the same thing. Doc, there's so many questions, so many things to talk about. What is wrong with the soul of this country? How violent have we become? We have children growing up, they're watching pornography, they have no religious education, no knowledge of God, they're absolutely separated from God.
Starting point is 00:04:42 They grow up watching pornography, they watch violent, bloody movies made in Hollywood, they watch bloody, violent TV shows, they listen to violent rap songs, they play violent video games about killing people, and then we wonder why somebody walks into a school and kills people. When are we going to... I know the focus is on guns,
Starting point is 00:05:15 and there needs to be a focus on guns. I don't dispute that at all. There needs to be a national discussion on guns, but there also needs to be a national discussion on guns. But there also needs to be a national discussion on our soul. Yes. Our soul as a nation. What kind of culture, what kind of society is so morally bankrupt that it produces this? And there will be people out there, and there already are, that are trying to make political hay. Kids are not, their parents
Starting point is 00:05:48 haven't even had hours to grieve and they're already stacking up, trying to score points now for their side, both on the right and the left. But you're right, Rick. What kind of society is so morally bankrupt that it produces this on a regular basis? It's become weekly. We just had the Buffalo shooting last week. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:10 The population of our country, we're desensitized to mass shootings now. I mean, the first couple mass shootings in this country were so shocking, you couldn't even comprehend it. Now it's weekly. Oh, yeah, another shooting. 15 people killed. 20 people killed.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Doesn't bother people anymore. You know, I have questions about, we see the stories that he purchased two semi-automatic rifles on his birthday, his 18th birthday. I have questions about how did he get one or two into a school? And I've seen no, maybe it's out there. I have not seen any news reports that say he took a semi-automatic into the school. I've searched. I haven't found any.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Maybe they're out there. I've heard a handgun the school. I've searched, I haven't found any. Maybe they're out there. I've heard handgun and rifle, I've heard two rifles. I haven't heard anything about a semi-automatic weapon. I can't find any official statement from law enforcement that described the weapon or weapons he took in. We'll work on that. Regardless, let's say he took a semi-automatic rifle in.
Starting point is 00:07:27 How do you walk into an elementary school carrying a semi-automatic rifle? How does that happen? Nobody saw the guy get out of his car carrying a rifle? Nobody saw him walking through the parking lot, opening up the front door, going down the hallway? Hey, that looks like a rifle in your hand. How does that happen? There's so many questions about this because they were even interviewing people that had
Starting point is 00:07:54 done public safety training in that school that had gone there in the past and said that they were up to speed on public safety requirements. But once again, it begs the question, what happened in this process? We won't know a lot for days, maybe even weeks. We'll probably never know anything because these things come and go. There'll be another mass shooting next week. You mentioned politicians already jockeying for political points on both sides. President Biden blamed the Texas school shooting on the gun lobby, mainly the NRA, which happens to be holding its national convention in Texas this week.
Starting point is 00:08:41 In Houston on Friday of this week. That is going to be a contentious meeting. And those coincidences bother me too. So it unsettles me that you have a mass shooting days before a major pro-gun convention. In the same state. In the same state. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 By the way, you told me guns are not permitted at the NRA convention. PRO-GUN CONVENTIONS IN THE SAME STATE. BY THE WAY, YOU TOLD ME GUNS ARE NOT PERMITTED AT THE NRA CONVENTION. THAT'S TRUE. I SAW THIS EARLIER TODAY THAT THE, YOU CAN GO ON THE NRA WEBSITE, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SPEAKING AT THE EVENT, I BELIEVE ON FRIDAY, AND THE SECRET SERVICE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT NO GUNS ARE ALLOWED IN THE MAIN AUDITORIUM WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE SPEAKING, WHICH, I MEAN, has made it clear that no guns are allowed in the main auditorium where President Trump will be speaking,
Starting point is 00:09:27 which, I mean, that's the Secret Service job to protect the president. But there is some irony there in that at an NRA rally, no guns are allowed in the main event. But that's where we are as a society now. That's it. I mean, who do you trust out there?
Starting point is 00:09:47 And it's the Secret Service's job to protect President Trump. And so I understand that. But the irony is not lost on me. But like we said earlier, there are people on both sides that are making political points. President Biden, he's putting the target. Most of his statements have been against semi-automatic weapons. And once again, we don't know what kind of weapon that this young man had in the school, but that doesn't keep President Biden from speaking against it. But there was something else. You showed me it happened in Texas at the press conference.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yes. Today, Governor Abbott was holding a press conference. I believe it was in Uvalde, Texas, which is a border city on the Texas-Mexico border, South Texas, up in the Uvalde. And he was holding a press conference. The mayor of Uvalde
Starting point is 00:10:40 was there. Texas Rangers. A lot of Texas officials, and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, Beto, Beto, Beto, whatever his name is, walked up, directly walked up to the governor who is seated in a wheelchair, and began to verbally attack him,
Starting point is 00:11:11 disrupting the press conference. Okay, so those are the very things that I think anybody in public life has an apprehension about. It's whether you're a politician, an entertainer, a pastor, that when somebody just walks through a door, ignores all the protocol,
Starting point is 00:11:37 and makes a direct beeline to the speaker, everybody who's ever been in that situation freezes because you're wondering is this person going to pull out a weapon? Right. I know a local church here that here in Vero Beach, this happened a couple years ago,
Starting point is 00:11:58 I knew the pastor. A man just stormed the platform, had a knife. A pastor was holding church service. And a lot of the people, Doc, in the church thought it was part of the sermon. I could understand that. The man went up on the stage and began to argue with the pastor. And people sat there for a few, I don't know, 30 seconds or so, thinking this is part, this is a
Starting point is 00:12:36 skit. But really, the man had a knife. Anybody, you know, when you're in these situations, when you're speaking in public, and somebody just barges through the door and directly moves towards you, you have to be prepared that they're going to physically attack you. So, Mr. O'Rourke, I mean, it was a verbal attack, but... It could just as easily have been a physical attack.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Yeah. As close as it got. As close as it got. And when we roll the tape here, we'll show you the interchange that took place. First of all, the timing for Mr. O'Rourke to do this and everything, less than 24 hours. In the same city. In the same city. In the same city. And wait to see the response of the mayor of Uvalde and local law enforcement there.
Starting point is 00:13:32 They weren't putting up with Mr. O'Rourke's Robert Francis O'Rourke's antics. No, the mayor was armed. Yes. So let's watch. And at this time I will pass the mic to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. You're out of line and an embarrassment.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Hey, sit down and don't play this stuff. The next shooting is right now, and you are doing nothing. No, you need to get in the place and talk this over. This is totally predictable. Sir, you're out of line. Sir, you're out of line. Sir, you're out of line. Please leave this auditorium.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue. It's on assholes like you. Why don't you get out of here? And that's your Democratic candidate for governor in the state of Texas there. Doc, O'Rourke's behavior is a prime example of why there is no serious,
Starting point is 00:15:19 intelligent debate in this country about how to solve the problem of mass shootings. Right. You can't have a debate debate in this country about how to solve the problem of mass shootings. Right, because if- You can't have a debate because you have antics like that. Yeah, you have the grandstanding that goes on. And there's grandstanding on the right too, but the left really, they've made it an art form.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So what the right does is that they immediately become defensive because O'Rourke has said in the past he wanted to confiscate guns. Yes. Presidential debates, he said that, didn't he? So he ran for president, the Democratic nomination. He said he would confiscate guns. So the right, when they hear the left talk about guns, what they're hearing in their head is,
Starting point is 00:16:04 you're going to confiscate all our guns. You don't want to solve the problem. You want to confiscate guns. When you hear the left talk about guns, what they're hearing in their head is, you're going to confiscate all our guns. You don't want to solve the problem, you want to confiscate guns. So there's no intelligent, rational debate. And both sides are polarized. And the shootings continue. And I don't know how many school shootings
Starting point is 00:16:29 are going to take place until the American people vomit. You should vomit. Honestly, this should be nauseating. We ought to be vomiting that we're this sick of a society that we produce school shooters all right my focus isn't on the guns my focus is on the hearts right my focus is on the hearts look we've had guns in this country since the beginning of the country. Yes. Okay? I grew up in a country, in a farmland.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Guns have always been around in my life. We never had shootings. Right. All right? My dad told me that when he went to school, when he was in high school, he said all the boys took their guns into the school. Yes, we had a gun class at our high school in Missouri. He said they put their guns in their lockers. Yes, we did that in high school.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You did? We had a shooting range in our high school. Okay, so you were allowed to take your guns into the school. Yeah. At least in Missouri, you know, if you're a high school boy, you had a gun rack in your truck. Well, that, yes. But, yes, you could bring your gun into the school. Yeah. And, you know, you had, what was it, the conservation agent that would come in
Starting point is 00:18:05 and would show proper gun handling and everything. And so. Sure, and we had the same thing. You know, where I went to school, you know, the boys had gun racks in their pickup trucks, so that was normal. But there were no mass shootings. There were no mass shootings, not at all,
Starting point is 00:18:21 because nobody thought like that. Nobody was crazy. So, Not at all, because nobody thought like that. Nobody was crazy. So my dad was born in 28. I was born in 53. That America doesn't exist anymore. No. It doesn't exist. And so conservative people who grew up in particularly rural farming areas, it's very difficult to understand how wild our cities are because we don't go into them.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I wouldn't go into them. Okay? I wouldn't go into Chicago. I haven't been to Chicago for years other than the airport. You wouldn't get murdered? Go to Chicago. Okay? Washington, D.C.?
Starting point is 00:19:19 I don't go there anymore. Guess when I was a teenager, when I was a, Doc, when I was a, I don't know, I'm trying to think. Sixth, seventh grade, eighth grade, my dad would drop me off in downtown Washington for the day and pick me up at five. Can't do that today, can you?
Starting point is 00:19:39 A teenager. Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, okay, go look at Smithsonian, I'll come back and get you. Okay, America's different. We've become a violent, bloody country. Right, and the problem isn't the guns. It's the heart of the people.
Starting point is 00:19:52 It's the heart, because if you wanted to kill a bunch of kids, you don't need a gun to do it. There are other options. Gasoline becomes a weapon. Fertilizer becomes a weapon. It's the heart that seeks to murder and kill. That's the discussion this country must have, but it doesn't want to have. Why are our people violent?
Starting point is 00:20:14 They're violent because they're evil. Why are they evil? Because we have rejected God. Right. And that's really at the heart of it. Let's have that discussion. Let's have that discussion. Let's have that discussion. Because what's going to happen is the assuming the left continues to increase in power and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon because we're still following a wicked path.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Then their response is going to be more and more control, more and more lockdowns, more and more taking away weapons. And they'll be telling people we're solving a problem by taking away the weapons. And then it's going to be taking the people and separating them away from the rest of the population. Because they perceive this group of people, whether a certain color, a certain race, a certain belief, to be detrimental to all of the society. I don't think it can happen here. When this country was a God-fearing country, Christianity was the restraining mechanism on the people.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It wasn't law enforcement. It was the church. It was the people. It wasn't law enforcement. It was the church. It was the church. Sinners knew what was right and wrong. Yes. Sinners respected church people. Sinners respected pastors in their town. Now they'll spit on you.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But the country was self-governed by its moral standard because most of the people believed in God. Most of the people knew Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Most people believed the Bible was the good book. Most people were receiving weekly moral instruction under a spiritual leader. That's right. And I've said this many times, but if you're a new viewer, when I was in elementary school
Starting point is 00:22:12 in Western Maryland, school days started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, the Lord's Prayer, and Bible reading led by the public school teachers. Wow. How far have we come?
Starting point is 00:22:32 That's how far we have fallen away from the Lord. When did things start going bad in this country? When the Supreme Court banned Bible reading and school prayer. You go back and look at the trends in this country, and it just went downhill starting in 62.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And the schools, slowly over that time, became indoctrination centers. Yes, for Marxism. Right. So where's the problem? The heart of the people. The only way out of this mess is repentance and a country turning back to Jesus Christ. Without it, you're going to lose your rights and your freedoms.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Let me explain. We Americans, we like to talk about our God-given rights, our God-given freedoms, and they are God-given. They are God-given liberties. But God gave them to us for a different reason than what people think today. The reason America had so much freedom and liberty was God smiled on the American people centuries ago because they desired to worship him without restrictions from government. People came to this land seeking religious freedom to worship Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And God gave us a system of government that allowed us to have the maximum amount of freedom and liberty of any nation in the history of the world. It truly was God-given freedom and liberty. It wasn't freedom to sin. No. People today think freedom is my right to kill my baby, my right to watch pornography, my right to take drugs. No, that's not freedom.
Starting point is 00:24:38 That's a debauchery. And so the farther we get away from from god the more he is withdrawing the freedoms and liberties he gave us now that's a radical concept there rick yes god's taking them away god's taking the freedom it's not the left we don't deserve it doc so god is using yes the men of the world to take away the freedom but the people on the right are attacking the people on the left and the government saying, you're taking away my rights and my freedoms. Without considering that it's God who's using them to do it. Because we're lawless.
Starting point is 00:25:20 We are a lawless people. America has become a lawless people. America has become a lawless land. And so God is withdrawing the freedom and liberty he gave us. And the only way to get it back is through repentance. Now, this is the devil's crafty trick. And he is a smart character. So what he did years ago, I would say this really began in the 50s. I mean, there's been sin. I mean, there's been
Starting point is 00:25:56 sin since the Garden of Eden. So let's get real. But in the 50s, pornography was introduced in America. It barely existed. I grew up as a kid. I never, I mean, pornography was so rare. I mean, we knew boys that were looking at Playboy stuff, but most of the kids I ran around with
Starting point is 00:26:25 didn't want to be around boys that did that kind of stuff. We knew, it's bad, we shouldn't do that. But they got the poison into the minds. And eventually into the 60s, into the 70s, into the 80s. By the 80s, Doc, the battle was over can convenience stores display pornographic magazines on the magazine racks so that when people walk in, including children, they see porn.
Starting point is 00:27:01 There were fights over this, political battles. Remember the big American Family Association? Yes, Don Wildman. Battling 7-Eleven, all the 7-Eleven stores. That's right. That there had to be at least a placard or a cardboard. Well, the church lost that battle. They did.
Starting point is 00:27:18 They lost the battle against pornography. And now, a lot of people in churches including pastors are are addicted to porn so the pornography got into the minds of the people and this is the trick Satan did he brought about sexual revolution free love and all that in 1960s and 70s and pornography and the parties and everything that, you know, the music that came into America. What Satan said to the American people was this. I'll let you sin. I'll make it legal for you to sin.
Starting point is 00:28:03 But you have to give up your freedoms. And so the American people subconsciously had not even realized what they were doing. They gave up their God-given freedoms and liberties in return for a fake freedom to sin. In order to get back your God-given freedom, you have to give up your freedom to sin. Which is really a bondage to sin. Bondage, not freedom, it's bondage to sin. Satan tricked the American people.
Starting point is 00:28:42 He tricked the public to give up their God-given freedom in order to have Satan-given bondage that in their mind they thought it's freedom because it was permission to sin. Right. What is abortion about? Abortion is about sexual sin. That's at the heart of it right there. That's it right there. Two people made a baby. They don't want the baby. They kill the baby. Right. Excuse me. People really don't want to talk about why they don't want to outlaw abortion, but in the back of their mind, what they're really thinking is, hey, if I get somebody pregnant,
Starting point is 00:29:25 I want to be able to kill the baby. Right, because you have to be able to say at some point to these individuals, well, you got to look at the reasons why we're having such high abortion statistics, and it's because we have such high prevalence of sexual sin in our nation. And not just women, women and men, It takes two, you know. And so, but the gateway has been opened up. And that allowed for abortion to come in. And you can
Starting point is 00:29:53 tie it back to pornography. But there was a change of heart that took place along the way. And now, pornography is so readily available, it pops up as ads on the internet. It's hard to even stop the flow of sewage that comes everywhere. I don't watch TV at night except for old westerns. Because of all the different shows that are promoting gay marriage and all these different lifestyles and everything, that's how far we've come. gay marriage and all these different lifestyles and everything. That's how far we've come. I just read a story today in an online publication about drag queen story hours for children
Starting point is 00:30:36 on U.S. military bases. So our military has been perverted and you're going to go fight Russia? Seriously? Seriously? You're going to go fight Russia? Seriously? Seriously? You're going to go into World War III against Russia and your military has been perverted?
Starting point is 00:30:54 America, you're so sick. You have no idea how sick you are. And God is crying out to this country, repent, come back, return to the old ways. But like we read in Jeremiah yesterday. They said, we don't want to do it. We want to. We want to do our sins.
Starting point is 00:31:14 We like it. And what did God send to them? An invasion from the north. Yes. And that's what's coming to America. An invading army. what's coming to America an invading army it's coming now while we're talking about that
Starting point is 00:31:30 let's switch over to the far east to communist China I read a very disturbing story on a BBC website and the first one is from the Times of London
Starting point is 00:31:50 reporting what they read on the BBC website. Chinese police told to shoot Uyghurs who tried to escape camps. Uyghurs are Chinese Muslims. Yes. As reportedly, the Chinese Communist Party has millions,
Starting point is 00:32:11 listen, millions of Chinese Muslims in concentration camps. And that's exactly what they are. They're concentration camps. You can't call them anything else. They're not schools. They're not education centers.
Starting point is 00:32:24 These are concentration camps. Doc, I don't understand why the Muslim world is silent. Oh, I understand. Because there's money involved. Because the Chinese communists have bought off the Arab leaders. Yes. And you're exactly right, Rick. I mean, that's exactly what has happened here.
Starting point is 00:32:42 And that's why they're silent. But in this article from the Times, read just a little bit here, Uyghur prisoners in the western Chinese region of Xinjiang are to be shot on site should they try to escape from re-education camps where they're said to be arbitrarily detained, according to leaked police documents. We're going to be talking about more of those here in a moment. A cache of police files allegedly obtained by hackers and shared with foreign media also reveals the faces of nearly 3,000 people, including children who appear to have been detained because of their religion. Now, according to the BBC, the official files outline an internal police protocol that describes the routine use of armed officers in all areas of
Starting point is 00:33:25 the camps, the positioning of machine guns and sniper rifles in the watchtowers, and the existence of a shoot-to-kill policy for those trying to escape. Now, the original source for this article And they did an amazing job at this. Talking about a release of files, police files, and had gotten into the hands of the BBC and others, and they've dug down deep in this. What was so tragic? I've read this article now three different times. And as Rick mentioned, there are millions of Uyghurs,
Starting point is 00:34:04 Chinese Muslim, in camps all over China. We're going to tell you the story of just one camp, just one camp where they were able to get police files. So in this particular article here, I'll start off, thousands of photographs from the heart of China's highly secretive system of mass incarceration in Xinjiang as well as a shoot-to-kill policy for those who try to escape, are among a huge cache of data hacked from police
Starting point is 00:34:31 computer servers in the region. The Xinjiang police files, as they're being called, were passed to the BBC earlier this year, and after a month's long effort to investigate and authenticate them, they can be shown to offer significant new insights into the internment of the region's Uighurs and other Turkic minorities. Their publication coincides with the recent arrival in China of the UN Human Rights Commission, Michelle Bachelet, for a controversial visit to Xinjiang, with critics concerned that her itinerary will be under the tight control of the government. And that is what happened this week. China did get a visit from the UN Human Rights Commissioner. And President Xi actually met with her and basically told her, don't preach to us.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And, you know, he had a good point. Because we've done things in the past, the rest of the world has done things in the past that China is doing now. It doesn't excuse what China is doing by any means, but we want to tell you a little bit of the story here. Like we said, this is just one particular camp. This is a picture from the BBC where the hacked files contain more than 5,000 police photographs of Uyghurs. Now these are several years old Rick, between January and July of 2018
Starting point is 00:35:52 and using other data at least nearly 3,000 of them can be shown to have been detained and for those listed as being in re-education camp there are signs that they are not the willing students China has long claimed them to be. The government's claim that the re-education camps built across Xinjiang since 2017 are nothing more than schools is contradicted by internal police instructions guarding rosters and the never-before-seen images of detainees. Its widespread use of terrorism charges, under which many thousands more have been swept into formal prisons,
Starting point is 00:36:31 is exposed as a pretext for a parallel method of internment with police spreadsheets full of arbitrary draconian sentences. The documents provide some of the strongest evidence to date for a policy targeting almost any expression of Uyghur identity, culture, or Islamic faith, and a chain of command running all the way up to the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. Rick, you know, there would be some that would be in our audience right now that would be watching us. Well, these are Muslims. What do we care?
Starting point is 00:37:02 I mean, what difference does that make? It has no impact on me or anything like that. How would you respond to that? Why should anybody be in a concentration camp for their religious beliefs? Absolutely. That's the basis. They're in a concentration camp
Starting point is 00:37:18 for their religious beliefs. Yes. If you can put that person in a concentration camp, you can put that person in. concentration camp, you can put that person in. Where's the line? And I think that's the attitude for a lot of people here in America. It doesn't matter to them because it's that other group of people. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:36 But there are Christians in concentration camps. And there are some Christians that are in these camps as well. And so, give you an example what this particular re-education camp looks like. This is number 12 for control. So, they're taking a police photo. If you notice over there on the right-hand side of the screen there, there's one of the re-education devices, Rick, a baton. So some of the re-education camp photos show guards standing by armed with batons, yet claims of coercion have been consistently denied by China's most senior officials. And this isn't the only one.
Starting point is 00:38:16 There's – we've got another one here. Many have been detained just for ordinary outward signs of their Islamic faith or for visiting countries, majority Muslim populations. In this particular photo, Rick, once again, getting your profile photo, but over on the right, you're being monitored by a soldier in uniform. So you're either under the constant threat of authority or authority is watching you constantly in these situations?
Starting point is 00:38:46 I don't know if you have the photograph of the mother who's, she was in detention also, because her son didn't drink liquor or smoke, and the communists found that unusual. Right. And so he was put in a concentration camp along with his mother who raised him that way. Right. And they go back as far as 20 years in some of these stories, Rick.
Starting point is 00:39:15 They had one young man that was in jail because 15 years ago he listened to his grandmother tell him or read to him from the Quran for 15 years ago when he was a kid they've got him in a concentration camp now so when we started this topic he talked about the police fall now the source of the files claims to have been hacked or downloaded and decrypted from a number of police computer services in Xinjiang before passing them to a Dr. Adrian Zins. He's a scholar at the U.S.-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation who has previously been sanctioned by the Chinese government for his research in Xinjiang.
Starting point is 00:40:00 As we said, this is just one camp. There could be estimates between 300 and 400 of these camps scattered all over the western side of China. This particular camp here had upwards of 5,000, they called them, residents. This is one that stood out to me, Rick. I'll share this one to you. This is number 15 for control. This is an older woman. Her name is Tagul Tahir, 60 years old.
Starting point is 00:40:28 She was detained for re-education. If you notice on the left here, there's that police baton again. Why was she in there? Accused of illegal preaching. So they picked up this 60-year-old woman, and who knows what happened to her after 2017 now she was preaching uh you know the the islamic faith but it could have been christianity too
Starting point is 00:40:54 but that's not a crime no it's not a crime in fact the chinese constitution allows for it. But it may on paper allow for it. But no religion is permitted in China. Right. China is a godless communist system. Yeah, that's an old phrase from the 50s, godless communism. And it still is godless. And it's why America is godless, because there's a communist movement in this country. And, my friends, we're being set up.
Starting point is 00:41:33 We're being set up and prepared to be taken over, just like those Muslim Uyghurs in China had been incarcerated. That's the plan for the American people. That's where they're going. And we have American politicians who are bought and paid for by China, who are helping them bring down this country. And the plan is for you and me to be in those concentration camps.
Starting point is 00:42:07 I've told this dream in the past, but many years ago, I don't know the exact year, I'm going to say before 2005, somewhere early 2000s. And the reason I know that is because I was living in Texas at the time. But in the dream, Doc, I was in a Chinese concentration camp on American soil. I was a prisoner.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I mean, were you sharing the story? In a Chinese concentration camp on American soil. And I was on my hands and knees, and there was a Chinese military police officer standing next to me, and he said to me, he could speak English, he said to me, today's your day to be executed.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I was on my hands and knees outside in this big, like a prison yard. I saw the fencing. I saw the guard tower. I saw the prison buildings where the prisoners were held. But I was out there on my hands and knees on, it was paved. I was on a pavement.
Starting point is 00:43:36 And he looked at me with this evil grin and he said, today's your day to be executed. And he pointed to the guard tower. And I looked up and I could see the sniper in the guard tower. There was a sniper there with a rifle. And I said to the Chinese officer, I said, tell him to come down here and look me in the eyes before he shoots me. Tell him to come down here and be a man, look me in the eyes.
Starting point is 00:44:17 He made a call to the guy in the guard tower. And then he looked at me and he says, good news for you. You get to live for another five minutes. He'll be here. And that was the end of the dream. Okay. That is America's future if America does not repent.
Starting point is 00:44:39 If this country does not fall on our knees as a people. And we'll be driven to our knees. We will not fall on our knees as a people. And we'll be driven to our knees. We will be driven to our knees by the Chinese conquerors. You're going to your knees one way or the other. Well. And you say, wait a minute, they're godless. Yes, and so are we.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yes. We're not any better, we're godless as a people, corporately. We shoot children in schools. Yes. We butcher babies. In the womb. In the womb.
Starting point is 00:45:11 We're a godless nation. We return from being a God-fearing nation into a godless nation. Yes. And now the godless will rule over us. If I could show number 19 here for control. This is inside one of the re-education centers. Rick, look at this. So they're forcing this particular client, this particular resident.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Student. Yes, of the re-education center. Look, bound in chains there. Forcing him to do whatever they want to do. Notice all the instructors. What are they carrying, Rick? Boards. They're carrying boards.
Starting point is 00:45:56 The boards aren't there to build a building, but to beat somebody. And so when you were sharing your story about driven to your hands and knees, this is where we're headed, folks, right here. This is it, where we're bound in chains. We already have the chains of sins that we're bound with right now. But we're talking about at some point in the future, real physical chains.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Really being bound, really being forced to our knees. Why? Because we refuse to bend our knee to Jesus Christ. Yes. And this is going to be the future of America. It's happening in China. Well, it never happened here in America. We've got too many guns, right? No.
Starting point is 00:46:36 That's not going to stop them. No. Not at all. Because most people would give up and just surrender and fight. Most people won't survive the biological war. Right, and those that do have to be reeducated. It's hard to pick up your gun and fight invaders when you're laying on the floor
Starting point is 00:46:57 bleeding out your eyes and ears from a chemical attack or a biological attack. The Chinese are going to exterminate us like cockroaches. And the tough survivors, there will be. There will be survivors who will get up into the mountains, get into the rural places and hide. They're the ones going to the concentration camps. Because they'll need the re-education.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Yes. That's where it's going. And the only way to stop it is repentance. Now, most of these re-education camps did not exist before the year 2017. Right. All these detentions and everything have taken place just within the past five years.
Starting point is 00:47:47 That's right. Australia didn't have detention camps before COVID. Right, so that's how quickly this can change. A major biological event, a major philosophical change in a particular society. Yes. It could happen so quickly. Don't think it can't happen here.
Starting point is 00:48:09 I mean, Australia's already fallen. Canada's fallen. They're all, you know, either a China junior or a brother of China, one or two. That's what's happening. And why is it that the communists hate Christianity? Because Christianity liberates people's minds. Amen. And they don't want them to be liberated.
Starting point is 00:48:31 They want them to be in bondage. And so the very first thing communists do is round up the Christians, kill the pastors, burn the churches. Why is that? Because the church is their biggest enemy. Right, because Christ offers freedom. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I am the way, the truth, and the life. So if we are the biggest enemy of communism, then why don't we crank it up and be real Christians? Let's give them something to fear. They can't take down a God-fearing country. Communism cannot defeat a God-fearing country. Communism cannot defeat a God-fearing country. Dear Lord, the way to stop this mess is to get back to God. If you just did
Starting point is 00:49:16 it for self-preservation. The story is often told about the Burm wall coming down and everything and President Reagan going there and everything. THE STORY IS OFTEN TOLD ABOUT THE BERLIN WALL COMING DOWN AND EVERYTHING, AND PRESIDENT REAGAN GOING THERE AND EVERYTHING. OH, NO, THE CHURCH DID. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PRAYER MEETING THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR
Starting point is 00:49:32 DECADES, DECADES IN SEVERAL CHURCHES THAT HAD BEEN PRAYING ABOUT THE BERLIN WALL COMING DOWN AND ABOUT GERMANY BEING REUNIFIED, BEEN PRAYING FOR DECADES. AND I WOULD GUESS THAT PROBABLY WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED PRAYING, WHEN THEY SAW THE EAST GERMANY the Berlin Wall coming down about Germany being reunified. Been praying for decades. And I would guess that probably when they first started praying,
Starting point is 00:49:52 when they saw the East German guards, you know, on the guard towers and people getting shot if they tried to escape East Germany, I would think that there would probably be some people that would say, why are you praying? That's never going to change. Prayer isn't going to make a difference in that at all. But prayer did. A repentant people did. That made the difference.
Starting point is 00:50:10 That's why the Berlin Wall came down. Because the darkness fell. And, you know, a lot of people criticize Russia right now because of everything going on in Ukraine. But there's been a dramatic shift in the past 20 years where Russia has pulled away from atheism and has returned to their orthodox roots. And returned to the church. They're not perfect.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Neither are we. God honors those that will move toward Him. God will move toward those that move toward him. And Russia has been moving toward God. And I know people will be critical of that statement and everything. But is America moving toward God? No. No, we've said to him, we're going to do our own thing.
Starting point is 00:50:59 We don't even need you, God. But, Doc, I am forever an optimist. And my view, my attitude is as long as we're here and we haven't fallen yet, there is still time. There's still hope. And so I hold out that I may live long enough to see a genuine return in the hearts of the American people, a return back to God. I would like to live long enough to see it. And the only way that's going to happen is the preaching of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. And that's why, folks, starting next Monday,
Starting point is 00:51:38 God willing, we're launching a new TV program. It will be on three national television networks, starting out on Monday on two networks, and then a week later on June 6th we'll be adding a third network. So we will be on many full-power television stations, hundreds of cable systems, and we will be on DirecTV and Dish Network.
Starting point is 00:52:05 It's not going to be a news program. I'm going to just tell Dish Network. It's not going to be a news program. I'm going to just tell you right now, it's not going to be a news program. It is going to be a message. It will be a Jesus Christ centered program
Starting point is 00:52:19 with 30 minutes of the Word of God. And I'm not going to hold back. I'm going to speak as boldly as I've spoken on true news, but I'm just not going to be talking about the news. I'm going to be talking about the gospel. Amen. Because it's the gospel that will set the people free.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Giving them news doesn't set anybody free. The gospel has got to get inside people's minds and their hearts to set anybody free. The gospel has got to get inside people's minds and their hearts to set them free. And so we have taken on an enormous responsibility to be on three national television networks, and I'm going for it. My attitude is going to be I'm going to speak every day like I've got 30 days to live and that's it
Starting point is 00:53:06 I'm just going to say what I want to say and let it be in God's hands and I ask for your prayers and your support I'll give you more details next week when we launch there'll be a new website Rick rickwiles.com. Nothing there yet. We're launching it next Monday. It's a soft launch, meaning we'll be adding content to it in the weeks and months ahead. But that new website will go up on the internet next Monday, rickwiles.com. And there's something new happening here. Oh, yes, it's a whole new atmosphere here. You know what? Doing the same old thing doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I've been doing this for this week. We celebrated our 23rd year doing this. But those of you who are fishermen, you'll understand this. Jesus Christ called us to be fishermen of men. And if you're a fisherman, you know this.
Starting point is 00:54:11 You use different bait, different lures. You use different strategies and tactics to catch different fish. There are fishing holes, and there are ponds, and there are lakes, and there are creeks, and rivers, and there's the ocean. The fishing method
Starting point is 00:54:35 and the bait and the lures are different in each one. And it can even change by the season, too. Yes, even by the season, in the same place. Right. I've been fishing in the news pond for 23 years. And Doc, when I first started in 1999, there weren't many people there. I pretty
Starting point is 00:54:55 much had it to myself. Today, anybody with a phone can have a video podcast and be an expert on world news. So the pond bank is full. I'm bumping elbows now with a lot of people who think that they're expert fishermen. But they're not fishing for souls. They're typically fishing for votes. Or viewers, or whatever. But they're not really fishing for souls. But the fishing, the fishing landscape has become,
Starting point is 00:55:29 it's become crowded and it's become nasty. And the water's become murky and muddy and brackish. And the fish are getting mean. And the fishermen are getting mean and the fishermen are getting mean and I just feel like it's time to fish someplace else. And I'm going for souls. So the program that we do next week, starting next week,
Starting point is 00:55:58 it's not going to be like true news. A lot of you may watch and go, I don't like that. Okay, you don't like it. But there will be other fish that like it. Because you know what? and go, I don't like that. Okay, you don't like it. But there will be other fish that like it. Because you know what? There are fish that don't like this show. And I'm called to fish for the souls of men and women. And so we're striking out. We're moving out to do something new and different and the fish in another hole.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I'll continue to do this as long as God gives me the strength and we have the support of the people, but I got to do something new. I'm yearning to do something new because continuing to do the same thing over and over and over and over is not producing new results.
Starting point is 00:56:46 And the climate is different now. The climate is so different. I don't mean the physical climate. I mean the spiritual atmosphere. The spiritual and political and financial climate of the nation and the world is radically different, not only from 1999, but just from last year. Everything's changed. So it's time
Starting point is 00:57:08 for us to do something. But the gospel does not change. The gospel is always the same. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. God in human flesh who came to earth, lived a sinless life, was crucified by the Jews and the Romans for the sins of mankind, died, descended to the place of the dead, raised himself from the dead. Just think about that. He raised himself from the dead and ascended back to heaven and now is seated on the throne at the right hand of God the Father, and he's making intercession for you and me,
Starting point is 00:57:49 and he's coming again in glory and power to establish his kingdom forever, a kingdom that shall have no end. That's the gospel. Your sins and my sins are forgiven. He paid the price. We will not suffer for our sins if we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. All we have to do is believe in his name and be baptized.
Starting point is 00:58:16 That's the gospel. And there are tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people in this country who have not heard the gospel. And I'm going to do my very best to reach a new group of people starting next Monday. Please pray for us. And if Soul Wedding excites you, then get excited about what we're doing. We'll give you more details next week.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Love you so much. See you tomorrow. God bless you.
