Box 690069, Fairview Beach, Florida 32969. This is true news, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help us God. Devin Archer's testimony before the House Oversight Committee almost didn't happen,
Starting point is 00:00:55 but he did testify behind closed doors on Monday. Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told the Daily Caller that Archer said President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, spoke more than 20 times about their business deals. Congresswoman Greene said, quote, The biggest significant thing that has come out so far is that we now have proof that Joe Biden lied. End of quote. Doc Burkhardt and I have the latest news on the Biden crime family, plus updates on World War III. Let's start with a New York Post article published on Sunday that revealed that the Department of Justice tried to obstruct justice by attempting to prevent Devin Archer from testifying today. As you see the headline, DOJ tries to jail key Hunter Biden witness Devin Archer on eve of congressional testimony. Doc, as we recall, Mr. Archer was indicted and convicted, sentenced to, I believe, a year in prison.
Starting point is 00:02:02 For bond fraud, right? Yes, it was on charges of fraud in another case that did not involve Hunter Biden. And then late on Saturday, it came, you know, Department of Justice announced, hey, we could pick up Devin Archer anytime we want to and haul him off to the pokey. Well, they made a move on a Saturday. They contacted a federal judge. Yes. It was unusual on a Saturday. They contacted a federal judge. Yes. It was unusual on a Saturday, the weekend before the man is going to testify against the president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I mean, did they think that no one would think this was suspicious? But they were desperate. The Biden crime family is desperate. And there was a there was an uproar and people know this is obstruction of justice you are intimidating a witness you are telling the the house of representatives we are not going to allow you to question a man whose testimony could lead to the impeachment of the president of the United States. Right. But they backed down. They did.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And so today, Devin Archer did arrive, ex-Hunter Biden partner Devin Archer, rise for the House Oversight Committee deposition on Joe Biden's role in foreign deals. So what happened? Well, the DOJ backed it down. They issued this letter late yesterday, Sunday, and basically saying that even though we have the option of being able to pick up Devin Archer and, you know, send him up for federal sentencing and basically hold him, we're going to allow the House Oversight Committee to further go along with the testimony. But they weren't going to do that on a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:03:49 No. But I guess there was so much blowback that they had to back down on the whole shenanigans that they were trying to pull off there. It had to be approved by the Attorney General. Right. Did Merrick Garland really think that nobody was going to accuse him of obstruction of justice?
Starting point is 00:04:09 He's the next one on the list to be impeached. I don't know if they're going to impeach him first before they go to Joe Biden, but I think the House Republicans will introduce articles of impeachment against Merrick Garland. It's actions like this. What he just did over the weekend. the House Republicans will introduce articles of impeachment against Mary Carlin. It's actions like this, what he just did over the weekend,
Starting point is 00:04:30 of intimidating a witness, of trying to lock him up to prevent him from testifying. Well, Fox News reported this afternoon that Congressman Jordan said that the Devin Archer interview today was very productive. Yes, that's right, Rick. According to Representative Jim Jordan, the House Oversight Committee's interview with Devin Archer, a longtime friend and former Burisma board member with Hunter Biden, was described as very productive. Jordan mentioned that he looked forward to discussing the revelations from the hearing with the committee chairman. Archer, who co-founded Hunter Biden's dissolved investment firm, ignored reporters' questions as he entered the hearing. Now,
Starting point is 00:05:16 it's expected that Archer will testify about Hunter Biden introducing his father, President Biden, to foreign business partners and potential investors. Archer has previously faced legal troubles, including currently a one-year prison sentence for involvement in a bond fraud case. This is the scene after some of the testimony from Devin Archer to members of the House Oversight Committee in closed session. The press, of course, asking Jim Jordan, what's the news? So basically all we're going to see here is Jim Jordan came out the door. Right. He's surrounded by reporters. He's not giving them any attention.
Starting point is 00:05:57 He's walking. They're asking him questions. You've got to listen carefully. It's probably less than 30 seconds long. Here it is. I think you can share with us. Very productive. Did Devin implicate the president? Did speakerphone conversations come up? Talk with us sometime today.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Did Devin implicate the president? He seemed like a man in a hurry to go somewhere. Yes. Well, that wasn't the only one that had a response to the current situation today. We have this article from Fox as well. They say witnesses, Joe Biden, talked to Hunter's business associate. That's Devin Archer, who was a witness. The GOP sees a smoking gun. The Dems tried to downplay the whole interview. According to Fox News, Devin Archer told Senate investigators
Starting point is 00:07:12 that he had met with Joe Biden and some of his son's business associates in 2015. Now, Republicans consider the testimonies of smoking gun that will help in their investigations. However, Democrats have downplayed the significance of the witness statement saying that it lacks in incredible evidence of wrongdoing on Joe Biden's part. One particular, the representative Dan Goldman, who is acting like he's Joe Biden's lawyer here, Representative Dan Goldman of New York told reporters that Archer said Biden was on the phone when he was working with Hunter.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But Goldman said they discussed casual niceties and the weather rather than topics of business. Now, like many people, Hunter spoke with his father every day and would often put his father occasionally would put his father on to say hello to whomever he happened to be caught at dinner with. And Mr. Archer clarified that was sometimes people that were having, you know, they were trying to do business with, and it was sometimes friends or other social engagements, he said. As he described it, it was all casual niceties, the weather, what's going on, Goldman added. There wasn't a single conversation about any of the business dealings that Hunter had. Well, then why did Hunter, why was he always determined to call his father when he was having a business meeting? Do you call your dad to talk about the weather when you're in a business meeting? No, I certainly don't put, you know, call my dad't call my dad up and put it on speakerphone and everything.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Or likewise, if I'm having a conversation with a business person or someone I'm doing, I don't have my wife on speakerphone either. Unless you're trading on the influence that your father's name carries. 2015, Joe Biden was Vice president of the United States. Doc, even if you didn't discuss business, if you're in a business meeting with a foreigner
Starting point is 00:09:18 and the foreigner needs favor in the U.S. government. If you simply lay the phone down and call your father, even if you did talk about the weather, what are you doing? You're sending a message to the foreigner. This is my dad. Right. I've got him on the phone right now. He's talking to you. But here's the deal with Representative Goldman. This is a big departure from what Joe Biden has stated before.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Joe Biden stated before he never had any conversations. Right. Never talked to Hunter about a single one. Now we have Representative Dan Goldman, Democrat, about as Democrat as you can get, saying, yeah, there were phone calls, but we talked about the weather. They talked about the weather, all right, whether or not they were going to get some money. That's a good line. We have another one for the New York Post. This is on another scandal. Senator Rand Paul announces a official criminal referral against Anthony Fauci. He says an email shows that Dr. Fauci, that his COVID testimony was absolutely a lie.
Starting point is 00:10:45 And Rand Paul is going after him. You know, a criminal referral to the Department of Justice isn't going to go anywhere. At this current administration, sure. Yeah, but he's made the effort. And he's gone on the record. Senator Paul's gone on the record telling the Department of Justice Fauci lied to the U.S. Senate
Starting point is 00:11:03 and he needs to be arrested. He needs to be indicted. That's right. So according to the New York Post, Senator Rand Paul has announced an official criminal referral to the Department of Justice, claiming that an email from Dr. Anthony Fauci proves that his COVID-19 testimony was a lie. Now, this email allegedly shows Fauci expressing concern about mutations in the virus that seemed unusual and potentially intentionally inserted. Senator Paul accuses Fauci of contradicting his previous testimony regarding gain-of-function research. You know, we actually touched on this phone call that Senator Paul talks about. I mean, we covered
Starting point is 00:11:43 the phone call, but now there's new information that's coming out that explicitly says that Fauci knew there was gain-of-function research going on in Wuhan. Of course he did. He approved the U.S. funding. That's right. So Paul pointed to an email from February of 2020 in which Fauci detailed a call with British medical researcher Jeremy Farrar, who was director at the Wellcome Trust at the time. According to Fauci, those on the task force call, including Francis Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, and other highly credible scientists with expertise in evolutionary biology expressed concern about the fact upon viewing the sequences of several isolates of COVID that there were mutations in the virus that would most that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion
Starting point is 00:12:39 that this mutation was intentionally inserted and now, the suspicion was heightened by the fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection and the outbreak originated in Wuhan. That's Dr. Fauci writing that, according to a screenshot of the newly unredacted email shared by RealClearPolitics White House reporter Philip Wegman. Now, we actually, this, we talked about this conference call way back in 2020 ourselves. We did here on True News. What's new is that this email now has been unredacted and we are getting the actual text
Starting point is 00:13:27 of the conversation, that conference call with like 13 scientists, others that had at that conference call had already expressed, you know, there's some things about this that just aren't right. And remember how they changed their story where they said well we have concerns and yet three or four days later they were saying no this was all natural so um that doc i stand by what i proposed when was that 20 2020 yes take falchi to guantanamo and waterboarding until he tells you the truth about what he knows about COVID and Wuhan and China, because he knows a lot. Now, in the committee hearing where Fauci testified, remember the interchange between
Starting point is 00:14:14 him and Senator DePaul, Dr. Fauci absolutely denied any knowledge of gain-of-function research. But we have it right here in this email that this was gain-of-function. Now, the way they try to get around it is they change the definition of gain-of-function. It's like rewriting the dictionary. We change the meaning of vaccines. Why not gain-of-function too? That's right. But this is what this regime does. It changes the meaning of words. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:49 If they don't like a word, they change it to something they do like. Speaking of crooked things going on in COVID, this next story is weird. This comes from KSEE and KGP, KGPETV in California. Illegal medical lab discovered in Reedley, California. And as you see this quote, I've never seen anything like this. Doc, this story is really strange. Yes, it is a weird one. And again, we would not have known anything about it other than the report from this local television station
Starting point is 00:15:35 in Reedley, California. So an illegal medical lab was discovered in Reedley, California, causing shock among officials and concern among the public. The investigation was prompted by, listen to this, a garden hose illegally attached to the building. And inside the lab, authorities found bioengineered mice, infectious agents, numerous refrigerators and freezers, incubators, and an array of chemicals, some of which remain unidentified. We have this report from California's television station KSEE. I've been in government for 25 years. I've never
Starting point is 00:16:13 seen anything like this. First at 11, this one is tough to believe. An investigation tonight into a possible illegal medical lab. It was operating out of an abandoned warehouse in Readley. Inside, mice bioengineered to incubate the COVID-19 virus. The lab was discovered near I and 9th streets. 30 refrigerators and freezers, some broken, were found filled with bodily fluids. Health officials tell us they are shocked at the biological house of horror. CBS 47's Juanita Adame, live in studio with the shocking details tonight. Well, Brian, this story is so complicated. There are local, state, and federal agencies all involved. Now, what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose
Starting point is 00:16:57 that was illegally attached and coming out of the back of a building. It was back in April, inside this abandoned warehouse in Reedley that a discovery so shocking was made that it left local health officials stunned. This is a truly unusual situation. I've been in government for 25 years. I've never seen anything like this. I've never seen this in my 26-year career with the county of Fresno. What was supposed to be an empty building used only for storage
Starting point is 00:17:24 was home to an unauthorized lab testing facility, something no one had even conceived of. We reach out to our local public health directors throughout the state, California, and there's really, nobody has really expressed this type of interaction with a unlicensed lab. So it is something new.
Starting point is 00:17:41 The discovery was made after a local code enforcement officer noticed this garden hose poking out a back wall of the building. Frankly, we knew that that shouldn't be there. And when she went to go investigate, she found that there was activity or operation or something happening within that building. The city then obtained several search warrants to enter the building. Once inside, no staff was located, but... There was a special room that was built housing about a thousand mice, a thousand white lab mice.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And the reason the mice were in the lab was jaw-dropping. Through their statements that they were doing some testing on laboratory mice there that would help them support developing the COVID test kits that they had on site. Documents show the lab was also being used to produce pregnancy tests. 200 of the nearly 1,000 mice were already dead. According to court documents, all the rodents were being caged in, quote, inhumane conditions. Also found thousands of vials, many of which contained biohazards, materials including human blood, unidentified tissue, and other unknown substances.
Starting point is 00:18:43 A lot of these are being classified under unknown chemicals. Labels had been removed from bottles, so there was only certain testing we could do to those chemicals. According to court documents, experts determined that at least 20 potentially infectious, viral, bacterial and parasitic agents were being stored inadequately, including E. coli, malaria and even COVID. The city of Reedley immediately called in the CDC, the FBI, the California Department of Public Health, and the Fresno County Department of Public Health. I think because of that swift action that was taken, we really have been able to maintain public safety this entire time. Over the course of several weeks, investigators figured
Starting point is 00:19:21 out just what they were up against. And as of now, there are no more biologicals. There are no more mice, but they still will see us abating. There's 30 freezers and fridges. There's medical equipment. There's all sorts of furniture in there. And so they'll still see some activity. Nothing hazardous at this point. Prado said the owners operated under the name Prestige Biotech.
Starting point is 00:19:42 And so far, they aren't saying much. Some of our other federal and state partners still have active investigations going, so I really can speak more to the building side of it. Now again, Reedley City officials emphasize that the lab had no city approval to operate and was supposed to be vacant. Investigators are working to figure out what to do next. Live here in the studio, Juanita Adas, CBS 47 Eyewitness News. Now, there's more to this story. There's a lot more to it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Doc, think about what we heard. That the inspectors found bioengineered mice. Yes. Infectious agents. Refrigerators, freezers, incubators, chemicals, unidentified chemicals. And when we say they found bioengineered mice, they didn't find like, you know, a cage full of them. There was a thousand of them. A thousand of these mice here.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And they were doing testing on regarding COVID. Okay. Well, COVID has been over now for what? A year or two. Right. Okay. But not just COVID, 20 different infectious agents. But nobody in the county government knew that this laboratory existed. If you, if you drove by the building, you would just think it's a rundown warehouse. Nobody's in there. You know, what's, what. You know, what's interesting is that the county government inspector wasn't looking for an illegal laboratory. He or she discovered a hose. An illegal garden hose.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Found an illegal garden hose. You know, an alert inspector, because if the building was closed, unused, why is there water running into the building through a hose from the outside? All right. They only went in to find out why there's a hose in there. But nobody in the county government, nobody in the state, Governor Newsomome the man who shut down california for covet he didn't know that there was an illegal bio lab operating in his state but they they could spot an illegal garden hose couldn't they well thank goodness they did but in this next story we're going to get a clue about who owns the laboratory.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Because they didn't say it in this report, did they? Okay, so everybody watching, you get three chances to pick a country. Just pick any country. Which country do you think built that lab? Which country do you think was doing illegal experiments in that dilapidated building in California? Who do you think was doing it? Which country would the governor of California look the other way and allow them to come in and operate? Okay, let's go.
Starting point is 00:22:41 We'll look at it. We'll see if you're right. So now we go to the national desk. This is NBC News. They've picked the story up. It says CDC detects coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes at unlicensed California lab. The Fresno County Public Health Department has been evaluating and assessing the activities of an unlicensed laboratory in Reedley. The health department's assistant director, Joe Prado, said in a statement, all the biological agents were destroyed by July 7th following a legal abatement process by the agency.
Starting point is 00:23:13 The evaluation required coordination and collaboration with multiple federal and state agencies to determine and classify biological and chemical contents on site in addition to assessing jurisdictional authority under this unique situation. Now, this is a house of horrors here. Certain rooms of the warehouse were found to contain several vessels of liquid and various apparatus. Court documents said Fresno County public health staff also observed blood, tissue, and other bodily fluid samples and serums, and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Now, this is where it gets interesting. An investigation found the tenant was Prestige Biotech. Now, they mentioned that in the report. A company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with Quijian Yao, who was identified as the company president through emails included in the court documents. Now, that's not an Irish name. That's not a Spanish name. It could be a name from China. From China.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Okay. So Yao told officials that Prestige Biotech moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech, to the Readley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under. So there's two labs here, Rick. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI went under. So there's two labs here, Rick. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI
Starting point is 00:24:47 and identified as its successor according to court documents. Officials were unable to get any California-based address for either company except for the previous Fresno location from which UMI had been evicted. Now, so you have actually two separate labs here. One lab, they had to shut down for whatever reason, either they went out of business for, you know, for whatever reason. And then all those assets were transferred to Prestige where they've got a lab running and it's an active lab because it got a thousand mice in the lab. Somebody's taking care of mice in a lab. Doc, I mean, this is so elementary. If you're the owner, operator
Starting point is 00:25:35 of a medical lab and you're handling contagious items such as COVID, certainly you would contact the state government, the state health department, and say, we're going to move a lot of material into a building in the state of California. We need approval.
Starting point is 00:26:12 We're going to rent a state-of-the-art building. Who puts a bio lab in a dilapidated warehouse? Someone that doesn't want their bio lab to be discovered. Exactly. It was done on purpose so that people would drive by that building every day for years. I want to know how long it was there. Yes. How long has it been operating? Probably as long as the Chinese police departments have been in the United States. So if this lab has been operating for any length of time, let's say it's been operating for a year. How many other illegal labs are operating? Let's just say in the state of California, they didn't know about this one.
Starting point is 00:26:59 How many others don't they know about in California? You know, what the state and federal authorities didn't know, local, state, and federal, all those vials of blood and body fluids, they have no idea what diseases are in them. Yes. They have absolutely no idea what could have been released,
Starting point is 00:27:22 what has been released, what diseases have been released in the state of California through this lab? And for how long? How long have they been operating like this? You know, the original story said these were bioengineered mice. These were mice that had been created for the purpose of testing or creating serum or whatever it might be. This was not, you know, a casual investment by somebody. This is, we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment. There had to be people working there. Right. There had to be people going in and out of the building.
Starting point is 00:27:59 There had to be medical supplies being delivered. If the mice were alive, then there were people working there. Right. Who are the employees? Certainly, the state has a database of employees of that company. Right? They're paying the taxes, payroll taxes. This is California.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Right. You got to... And were they adhering to all of California's strict environmental rules? Were they dumping waste? Down the drain, yeah. Down the drain or in the ravine? We don't know what this outfit was doing. And this is just one lab.
Starting point is 00:28:39 But it's linked to China. Yes. It's linked to China. The next story is also connected to the CDC. How many of you have heard of the meat tick? This is the first time in the past week, first time I've heard of it. The meat tick. Yes. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I actually saw this story pop up late last week.
Starting point is 00:29:04 And I was sharing with you, Rick, the next thing they're going to tell people is you're allergic to red meat. And sure enough, this is it. This is from CBS News. Up to 450,000 people in the U.S. have red meat allergies due to what's called alpha-gal syndrome spread by ticks. So the number of cases have been increasing since alpha gal syndrome was first reported back in 2008. Many cases are likely going undiagnosed and healthcare providers lack of knowledge about the syndrome hampers its detection and awareness. Now, how is this transmitted? Transmitted by ticks. So the next thing you're going to be hearing is there's going to be warnings.
Starting point is 00:29:53 People are going to come on TV and said, I've got an allergy to red meat. I can't have hamburger meat. I can't have steaks. No red meat. Why? I get bit by a tick that makes me allergic to red meat. Now... Doc, have you ever heard of a meat tick? Not until today. It's another creature from a laboratory. Well, let's see. Like Lyme disease.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Meat tick rhymes with Fort Detrick. Yes. So maybe there's a connection there. You know... Well, Lyme disease came from Fort Detrick. That's right. Congressional. A member of the U.S. House about five, seven years ago blurted it out that it was made in Fort Detrick.
Starting point is 00:30:36 How many people suffered from Lyme disease? And that goes back early 90s when suddenly everybody had Lyme disease. Everybody. And ticks were biting everybody. And everybody was getting Lyme disease. And it was carried by deer. Remember that early on? So now we know that another bioengineered tick has been released.
Starting point is 00:31:00 This one will make you stop eating meat. Oh, boy. But I bet Bill Gates' laboratory meat won't make you sick. So you'll have to stop eating real meat and eat fake meat sold by Bill Gates. Well, here's a map showing the distribution of all these different cases that are popping up around the country. Now, if you look at this map here, you generally have that wide belt in the center of the country. I guess that's where, you know, the most red meat eaters are, maybe, Rick. Or where they did an aerial spraying of meat ticks.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Isn't it weird how they're clustered together like this? I mean, it just, it's, it is suspicious. Now, a quote from the article that we're just looking at, the burden of alpha-gal syndrome, which is what they're calling it in the U.S., could be substantial given the large percentage of cases suspected to be going undiagnosed due to nonspecific and inconsistent symptoms, challenges seeking health care, and lack of clinician awareness. That's come from the CDC's Dr. Johanna Souser. Souser is a senior author on the two new papers which were published in the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. And she went on to say in that report while false positives are possible the cdc says separate unpublished surveillance data from new jersey suggest
Starting point is 00:32:32 about 90 of people who test positive had clinical symptoms consistent with the red meat allergy um where is that doc i know what i'm going to get you for Christmas. What's that? A subscription to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. There you go. Okay. Do you know about the
Starting point is 00:32:57 rice shortage that has developed in the last week or two? This is serious. This is really serious. If you like rice, you might want to stockpile some rice right now. I started to see the stories last week, and we didn't mention it, but now the number of stories have increased and it's it's becoming a very serious threat to the food supply first one this is a new delhi tv nd tv in india uh export of uh white rice banned by the government.
Starting point is 00:33:46 So that was the first one I saw. Wait a minute. India is banning the sale of rice? And the export of it. Yes, not the sale in the country, but the export of rice. Then the next one, Russia announces a temporary ban on rice exports. So no rice can be exported from Russia until the end of 2023. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Then we go to Almonitor. The UAE has a rice ban after major exporter India spikes global supply fears. And so the United Arab Emirates are also banning the export of rice from their country. So what we're seeing now in a period of a week is a series of countries saying something's up with the food supply. We're not allowing any of our food distributors to export rice. We're going to keep the rice inside our country. Something's underway, Doc.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Yes. Numerous countries are prohibiting the sale of rice, the export of rice. So now we go to, let's see, this is back to a new delhi tv u.s rice rice shortage panic sweeps across the united states as india's export ban bites now doc i haven't been stampeded yet by people trying to get rice but i haven't been out trying to buy rice so i I'm not going in any of the big membership stores like Costco or Sam's Club. I haven't been there for a long, long time. Are people stockpiling rice in the United States? Well, Rick, I do read the news.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And so I went to one of the warehouse clubs this weekend for the express purpose of getting rice. And what did you find? At one of the wholesale clubs here in our town. They were down to just a few bags of rice on the pallet on the aisle. So that was Sam's Club? Was Sam's? Yeah. So we picked up four bags of rice.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I don't eat rice, but if you're married to a Filipino, you have rice at every meal. Was the price higher no price wasn't um you know but the supply was low it was definitely low and so there was there weren't people fighting you know on warehouse shelves like we see some uh video here here in just a few moments well this next one is a new delhi people are buying rice okay so the next one is New Delhi TV. People are buying rice. Okay. So the next one is New Delhi TV. U.S. residents hoard rice at supermarkets after India announces export ban. And I think what's happening is that in American cities that have a population, a large population of Asians. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Indian or Asian. That the Asians know there's something going on about rice. And the Asians are the ones running out in America, running out and buying all the rice that they can get. This is a real short video. It looks like it's at it could be Costco, Sam's Club. We don't know which membership store. But this is apparently what's taking place in various communities in America. Now what you saw them doing there is there was rice everywhere, but what they were trying to get a hold of was the basmati rice,
Starting point is 00:37:30 which is prevalent, especially in Indian and Southeast Asian cooking. Different texture and different taste. So that's what they were trying to get. There's rice. I mean, you can buy rice. Right. But basmati rice, there's a very limited supply on. And so it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Is it just a, you know, is it a psychological run on rice or is there something physically going on? What's causing, you know, the lack of export of rice? Well, again, there's this obviously there has to be something serious, Doc, if a major rice exporting country, India, suddenly locks it down. Suddenly says, we've got to keep all the rice in our country. And then countries you don't normally think of being associated with rice, like Russia and the UAE, they're also doing the same thing. So they're hoarding their rice for their population. Are these leaders aware of a food shortage that's on the way? That's what it appears to be, that this is some type of... And then you couple that with the grain shortage
Starting point is 00:38:46 because of the export of Ukrainian grain. That's not going to happen now. So wheat is going to go up in price. The quantity of wheat is going to be reduced worldwide. We live in a wheat-producing country. I don't know if we're going to see a shortage here, but the prices definitely will go up because the wheat farmers will be able to get more for their wheat. But there's some type of food emergency underway.
Starting point is 00:39:21 This next one is, what is this, Doc? India blocks export on rice. I haven't seen this one. Oh, that's the video we just saw. Oh, that's the one we just watched? Okay. All right. Let's do World War III, because I think the food shortage in World War III, I think, is all going together.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's connected. So over the weekend, Ukraine attacked downtown Moscow. They hit the financial district of Moscow. And as you see, there's a skyscraper in Moscow that was attacked by a crane, a drone. And fortunately, people were not working on the weekend. So casualties, I don't know if there were any casualties here. But it was a shocking moment for Moscovites that their city's not safe. That Ukrainian drones are getting past Russia's aerial defense system and able to hit buildings.
Starting point is 00:40:25 So it was a psychological shock to the Russians on Saturday. But the next one is really the shock. This was Financial Times. Ukraine fires North Korean rockets to blast Russian positions. And, Doc, according to the Financial Times in London, the Ukrainian military
Starting point is 00:40:54 seized a North Korean ship carrying rockets intended for Russia. Right. And now that the Ukrainian military is in possession of the North Korean rockets, which would have a long range, and they're now going to use them against Russia. This is a serious alert for the Russian military? Well, the story is that the journalists for Getty Images and Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty supposedly photographed Ukrainian forces in possession
Starting point is 00:41:32 of North Korean munitions in the southern Zaporizhia region in late June and this month, but did not identify them as being from North Korea. The Ukrainian soldiers said the rockets had been seized from a ship by a friendly country before being delivered North Korea. The Ukrainian soldiers said the rockets had been seized from a ship by a friendly country before being delivered to Ukraine. Now they declined to provide further details. Ukraine's defense ministry suggested the rockets were taken from Russian forces. We capture their tanks, we capture their equipment, and it's very possible that this is also the result of the Ukrainian army successfully conducting a military operation. And that was coming from Yuri Sok, an advisor to Ukraine's defense minister. Now, Rick, I had a conversation with Evil Doc today.
Starting point is 00:42:16 What did he say? Well, he asked the question, could it be that that friendly country that captured captured the North Korean missiles on purpose because we can't supply long range missiles to attack into Crimea, into all these areas. But the North Korean missiles can reach that. Yes. So you've got soldiers, unnamed soldiers saying the rockets had been seized from a ship by a friendly country. That could be the United States, Great Britain, France, could be a number of countries and then given to the Ukrainian military. But you've got the Ukrainian defense minister, the advisor to the minister saying, oh, the Ukrainian, our military did this. We captured tanks and we captured various things.
Starting point is 00:43:11 We did this. But the soldiers say, no, that's not where it comes from. This came from a ship on the sea. Right. The other guy, the advisor, is implying they were on the ground. And the Ukrainian army seized them. But the soldiers said, no, no, no, no, no. Another country that supports us.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Captured these for us and delivered them to us. Yes. It's awful convenient that these longer range North Korean rockets, NATO can't supply the long range rockets. And get away with it. But doggone if they found some North Korean rockets lying around, they could get away with it then, right? Yes. So now the next story tells us what Ukraine might do with these North Korean rockets. This is Newsweek. Ukrainian forces will enter Crimea
Starting point is 00:44:07 soon, says the Ukrainian intelligence chief. Right. So according to an interview with Ukrainian military intelligence chief Krylo Budanov, Ukraine's forces are planning to enter Crimea soon, the peninsula that joined Russia in 2014. Now, Budanov did not provide a specific time frame or further details. Now, there have been reports of Ukrainian advances towards Crimea, particularly in the south of the country. However, military analysts expressed concerns about the sustainability of these advances and note that there is still a way to go before Ukrainian ground forces can make a breakthrough and reach the southern seacoast. Still looking for that breakthrough there, Rick.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Budanov also said in the interview reported by Ukrainian media outlets that he was not concerned about the presence of Wagner mercenaries in Belarus, where they've been exiled following their meeting against Russia's military establishment earlier this year. He said there had been no increase in the number of Russian troops and that there are as many of them as there were, although mobilization allows them to constantly replenish the losses they have suffered. Now, in the article here, military analyst Conrad Musica, director of Roshan Consulting, wrote in a Substack post on Friday
Starting point is 00:45:23 that the Crimea axis was the priority for Ukrainian forces, which was confirmed by the deployment of the 10th Corps. As a result of this change, Ukrainians progressed a few kilometers. But as we mentioned earlier, that sustainability of advance is a big concern. In other words, they may have moved a little bit, but can they hold their own? Meanwhile, retired Australian General Mick Ryan wrote on Substack on Friday that there is still some way to go before Ukrainian ground forces are able to make an operational breakthrough and advance to the southern seacoast. So even the experts have concerns about Ukraine's ability to maintain any kind of momentum here uh in this something has to happen and they keep waiting for that breakthrough yeah but doc dimitri mevedev uh was concerned enough saturday that he posted a stark warning. I didn't know about the North Korean missiles on Friday. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:29 That story came out, I think, on Friday. Yes. And I missed it. I didn't see it. Early Saturday morning, when I got up, I saw on my phone that Mr. Medvedev had made a post. I read it. It talks about nuclear war. I go, oh, great.
Starting point is 00:46:49 What happened? What happened that got Dmitry so worked up on a Saturday morning? So then I started researching to see what had happened. So then I saw about the drone attack in Moscow. But then I found a saw about the the drone attack in moscow but then i found a story about the the missiles and then this newsweek story saying ukraine is going to go into crimea and it started to make sense medvedev thinks ukraine is going to use the North Korean missiles against Crimea.
Starting point is 00:47:30 And he says as such in his post on Telegram, he says, Our armed forces repelling the counteroffensive of the collective enemy protect the citizens of Russia and our land. This is obvious to all decent people. But beyond that, they also prevent world conflict. Now, he says, after all, if we imagine that the offensive of the Ukro-Bandarites with the support of NATO was successful and they seized part of our land, meaning Crimea, then we would have to, by virtue of the rules of the decree of the President of Russia dated June 2nd of 2020, go for the use of nuclear weapons. There is simply no other way out. Therefore, our enemies must pray to our warriors. They do not allow the global nuclear fire to flare up.
Starting point is 00:48:14 And then he ends that by saying, Happy Russian Navy Day. And then he has this postscript. The Poseidon unmanned vehicle joins the congratulations and recommends that the enemies of our country pray for the health of all Russian soldiers. Let's translate this, Rick. Why does he mention the Poseidon? Because the Poseidon can deliver a nuclear missile.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Which nuclear missile? Do you know which one it is? The tsunami one. The tsunami torpedo. And it wouldn't be necessary to have the tsunami torpedo for Ukraine, would it? No. Besides, the Poseidon is not in the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. No. I would say the Poseidon is near Great Britain. So he's making it very clear that if there's any effort to take back Crimea, Russia considers Crimea to be Russia.
Starting point is 00:49:10 And so I think they're making it very clear. If you make that advance by authorization of rules we have on the books, we've made it clear we will use nuclear weapons. You've crossed the red line this time, NATO and Ukraine. You know, things we keep saying this, it's almost a weekly event. This could be the week that something happens. We need to be prepared and prayed up at all times. Like Mavid had said, pray that the Russian Navy
Starting point is 00:49:43 personnel stay healthy. He's told us we've been warned numerous times. We have only ourselves to blame if there's a nuclear holocaust. We have only ourselves to blame doc CNN was granted a rare exclusive glimpse of the Ukrainian drones the water drones right that are hitting the bridge and Russian ships it's amazing how Ukraine and how CNN gets into these places but they they produced a video it's about two minutes long. And I think we ought to watch this. This is a report from CNN showing you the drones that Ukraine is using to attack the Kerch Strait Bridge. At a secret makeshift Ukrainian military base,
Starting point is 00:50:42 one of the newest pieces of Ukraine's arsenal is lowered into the water. It roars out into the open water. Under the control of this pilot, who asked we don't show his face, call sign sharp. This is Ukraine's latest sea or surface drone designed to attack Russia in the Black Sea. They've never been shown to the public before. This model is armed with 300 kilograms or almost 700 pounds of explosive and can hit a target 800 kilometers, 500 miles away. They're very easy to control, Shark tells us, and they have severely limited the Russian Navy's movements. Ukraine sends its sea drones out hunting, plowing through the waves. If spotted,
Starting point is 00:51:32 the Russian ships frantically open fire. Sometimes the Russians get lucky and manage to take them out. Other times, the drones break through the hail of bullets and reach their targets. Last October, Ukrainian sea drones carried out a stunning attack on the home port of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Russian-occupied Crimea, targeting the flagship, the Admiral Makarov. This drone can attack, carry out surveillance and reconnaissance, among other operations. It is entirely Ukrainian designed and produced, according to its developer, who also asked for anonymity for security reasons. How effective are the Russian defenses against these drones? NICK SCHIFRIN, The American Academy of Sciences, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA, NASA,
Starting point is 00:52:13 Not effective. The equipment they have on their ships is designed to attack other ships. They can't hit such small drones. These are faster than anything else in the Black Sea. A stunning pre-dawn attack last week on Russia's Kerch Bridge shows the havoc they can wreak. The bridge, which is a vital supply line from Russia to Crimea, was hit by two drones and left heavily damaged. In response, Russia said, they launched days of intense strikes on seaside Odessa, alleging that the Ukrainian port city houses the sea drones. Russia's equipment is from the 20th century, and ours is from the 21st.
Starting point is 00:52:56 There are 100 years between us. Doc, CNN said those drones are 100% designed and manufactured in Ukraine. Do you believe it? Not for a bit. They don't have the ability to do it. They don't have the manufacturing facilities to do it. And another part of that story, too, it showed drones hitting Russian ships. I guarantee if we're hitting Russian ships or the Ukraine is hitting Russian ships ships we would be hearing about it well they'd be crowing crowing about it well yeah well that
Starting point is 00:53:29 one big one last year they remember the the one warship did get hit right but they're acting like you know we do this every day and they may be it's the russ Russians are not talking about it. I mean, the Russians don't want this to be known, that they're coming under this kind of attack. So, you know, I wouldn't discount it that these drones are carrying out more attacks than what we know about right now. But that just tells me that the war is more intense than we know. The next story has to do with the Prigozhin. I don't think we'll ever know the truth
Starting point is 00:54:14 about Prigozhin and Putin. That may have been a staged drama. I'm talking about his attempted coup. Right. That may have been a staged drama. I don't know. Or he really did attempt a coup and Putin worked out a deal with him and said, hey, look, we've got other work for you. Or I like your theory that, you know, Pergoson was offered so many dollars and then called up Putin and said, hey, you want to split it?
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yes, yeah. That's another possibility. Let's get Poroshenko in here. But Mr. Pergoson, we know that he sent his private mercenary troops to Belarus. Right. We know that.
Starting point is 00:55:02 But then President Lukashenko said, I know where Prokofiev's at. He's over in St. Petersburg. He's walking around. He's doing things. He's got meetings. Yeah. There were pictures of him, video last week of him meeting with African leaders in St. Petersburg. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Then he shows up in Africa. And people were asking, well, what's he doing in Africa? It appears as though the Russian government has sent Pergozin to Africa. Now, again, whether this was part of the plan or whether it's the deal that was made to end the coup, I don't know but it does appear that putin sent progozhin to africa well why would you send the owner of a mercenary army to another continent other than to cause trouble for your enemies that you're fighting in Ukraine. The enemies meaning France, Great Britain, Germany, the United States, NATO.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Right. And it helps explain that cryptic remark we heard about two weeks ago where Pergozan said, hey, you know, we might end up in Africa. And we were like going, what's going on in Africa? Yes, that's right. He made the remark. And so there's unrest happening in the country of Niger. I don't know if we showed this first.
Starting point is 00:56:32 We got a report, though. This is actually about, I think, about a month old, number 50. And this is actually new, isn't it? Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, Doc. That was from the WION. Yeah. All right, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I'll let you. Well, you know, as we said a couple weeks ago, there was the cryptic remark about Provoz and saying, you know, we could end up in Africa. Right now, what's going on in the country of Niger is there's a coup underway niger is you know colonial france you know part of the france's you know outreach in the world um but some people would call it colonization well the russians would for sure and they've been anti uh colonization so the government that was ousted last week in the coup was pro-paris yes pro-macron government the coup leader so a nigeria niger army general is pro-russian yes so was pergozin involved well did putin send did putin send pergozin and his mercenaries to niger to stir up trouble to give emmanuel macron indigestion and heartburn and like oh my gosh i got a problem over here i've
Starting point is 00:57:59 got and we'll tell you in a minute why it's a problem. It's a big problem. It's a big problem. You wouldn't think about it. Niger? How could Niger be a big problem for France? You're going to find out here in a minute. Right. So we have this video from WION News where Pergozan is describing what's going on in Niger right now. Not Nigeria, but Niger as good news for what he's hoping to accomplish. While the Western nations remain on alert following the coup in Niger,
Starting point is 00:58:32 Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has apparently supported the takeover. Channels associated with the mercenary group have released a voice message, purportedly of Prigozhin, in which he can be heard hailing the coup as good news. This comes shortly after the Wagner chief said that his group is seeking to increase its presence in Africa. More in our next report. Appearing active and free despite a failed mutiny, Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who rebelled against the Russian army top brass last month, apparently hailed Niger's military coup as good news. He purportedly said Niger had rid itself of colonizers and offered his fighters services to restore order. It came through a telegram voice message that sounded like Prigozhin, though Reuters could not confirm with certainty that it was him.
Starting point is 00:59:30 A video on Wednesday, which Reuters has seen but could not verify its authenticity, showed Prokosin telling his fighters in Belarus they would take no further part in the Ukraine war and would head for Africa instead. These were some of the latest signs Prokosin remained active even after his brazen insurrection against President Vladimir Putin in late June. Prigozhin was last seen leaving Russia's Rostov on June 24th, heading for Moscow to oust Russia's defense minister. He stood down after a deal was brokered for safe passage for him and his men to Belarus. Since then, the Kremlin claims Prigozhin had even attended a meeting with Putin,
Starting point is 01:00:05 who had earlier called the abortive mutiny a stab in the back. Wagner was founded as a way for Russia to get involved in wars in the Middle East and Africa with full deniability. The West sees Prigozhin's failed mutiny as a sign of weakness from the Kremlin, which is under the strain of the Ukraine war. Now, Niger is a key country, especially for France. Their top two exports are, number one, gold. Their second most important export is uranium. And the overwhelming majority of those two metals are going to France all the time. That's right so we've got this uh this news report this is number 51 the mere news agency Niger suspends export of uranium and gold
Starting point is 01:00:56 to France not to the rest of the world but to France right they cut off France. There's there's one quote in this article that I think is appropriate that that our audience hears and reads right now. So while protesters in Niger burned a French flag and chatted down with France as they supported the coup, according to Wazobia reporters, He said, we have uranium, diamonds, gold, oil, and we live like slaves. We don't need the French to keep us safe, one said. So there's a new attitude that's taking place. And really, what's going on across the southern edge of the Sahara Desert are a number of countries going from the west coast to the east coast of Africa that they're right now that they're calling the rebellion belt. All these countries along there are going through stages and coups and rebellions all the way from the west coast to the east coast. You got, you know, Niger, you've got Mali, you've got several other countries that go down the line.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Do you have any idea how many of the leaders of those countries were in St. Petersburg last week? I would say probably all of them. Putin had a summit for African leaders last week in Russia. And this can't be a coincidence. So he made promises to the African leaders? Yes, to support them. And because, you know, NATO has been making inroads into Africa, especially the northern part of Africa. This is the line. This is the dividing line for Africa. And these countries are saying, we've had enough of Europe. We've had enough of the u.s we found a new partner i mean
Starting point is 01:02:45 this statement from this protester we meaning the country of niger we have uranium we have diamond we have gold and oil and we're living like slaves we don't need the french anymore well the french government has troops in Niger. They have military bases in Niger. Niger is a colony. Yes. It is a French colony. I mean, France treats it as a colony.
Starting point is 01:03:24 The people of Niger don't see themselves as colonial citizens of France. They're saying, hey hey man, we're treated like slaves. And we have natural resources here that are being ripped out of our country and taken to Paris. And we don't have to live like this anymore. That's the attitude that's coming out right now. But the problem is, of course, is that if, especially Iran, let's just talk about the uranium side, not even talking about the gold. If the supply of uranium gets shut down to France, France goes cold.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Yes, so that's in this next report. This really is an alarming story if you're living in France. Niger Nuclear Reserves, how the coup can throw Europe into a deep energy crisis. So while a block of West African leaders have threatened intervention if Mohamed Bazoum is not reinstated, that's the president of Niger, within a week, the French,
Starting point is 01:04:24 who were imperial power in President-day Niger until 1960, have also warned of action in the country if France and its interests in Niger are attacked. What are its interests? The uranium that's there. Niger holds the world's seventh largest uranium deposits. In 2019 only, about nearly 3,000 tons of uranium was produced by the two operating mines of the country 3 000 nearly 3 000 tons now according to reports of current uranium production
Starting point is 01:04:53 occurs from the open pit operations of somar near the town of arlit somar is 63% owned by French company Arano and nearly 37% owned by the Niger state-owned company. Now, according to data from the World Bank, uranium is Niger's second largest export in monetary terms after gold. Over 50% of the uranium ore extracted from Niger is used for fueling the French nuclear power plants. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, over 50%. Over 50% of the uranium ore extracted from Niger is used to fuel French nuclear power plants. And he's cut off the uranium sale to France. That means 50%. I mean, it means 100% of the 50%. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:52 It's not going to France. It's not going to France. Now, in addition to that, about 24% of uranium imports in the European Union come from niger too so if they choose to cut that off as well then you've got severe restrictions on other nuclear power plants in the rest of the european union and let's not forget about the gold yes if they stop selling gold to france and other western countries then their two biggest customers will be russia China. That's right. And Russia and China have been stockpiling gold by the tons for, I would say, Doc, at least the last, I'm trying to recall, 12, 15 years. I've been reporting here at True News. I mean, this has been a recurring news story.
Starting point is 01:06:45 China and Russia buying massive amounts of gold. What are they preparing for? A gold-backed BRICS currency, which may be announced in the month of August. And maybe, maybe Niger has been promised entry into BRICS. Yes. If it sends its gold to BRICS, because the BRICS alliance will need all the gold that they can get to support their currency. And they have applied to join BRICS. They have.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Yes. Interesting. One more story before we close it up. This is the London Times today reporting that the current government that's in power from the coup claims that France is planning to bomb the capital city. All right. So, and the logic of this is that they're going to bomb the capital city to reinstate the president who's currently being held captive by the coup leaders. So, according to the Times in London, the new junta in Niger has accused France of planning military actions to free the country's president and reverse the coup. The junta claims that Niger's civilian foreign minister, Hasumi Masudu, acting as prime minister, signed a document at France's request granting permission for strikes on the presidential building in the capital, Niamey.
Starting point is 01:08:13 The junta made a statement on state television alleging that France held a meeting with the chief of staff of the Nigerian National Guard, along with the involvement of some Nigerians to obtain political and military authorization for military intervention in Niger. So, now, Masudu could not be reached for comment. France has condemned the coup and urged that President Bazoum be reinstated, but they have not announced any intention to intervene militarily yet. France relies on Niger as a base to fight terrorists after it was forced to leave neighboring Mali. It also suspended development support to its former colony. So the French used to have a number of bases in Mlly as well at one time rick but molly got sick and tired of dealing with the french too and forced them out i'll tell you another place he got fed up with france is rwanda the french were deeply involved in the rwanda
Starting point is 01:09:16 massacre boy that's a story that got covered up i I remember reporting that, Doc. How long has that been? 15, 18 years ago? Right, yes. The French were involved. It was one of the most brutal, inhumane... And untold stories. An untold story, and the French
Starting point is 01:09:39 intelligence and French military were involved in that massacre. Now, continuing with this story here, why is this a big deal? Well, international observers are concerned that Niger's military leadership will pivot towards Russia and its feared paramilitary force, the Wagner Group, which is already, listen to this, Rick, is already in neighboring Mali and has offered itself as an alternative security force to the growing number of juntas in the conflict-ridden Sahel. Sahel is the name for that band of countries
Starting point is 01:10:10 along the southern edge of the Sahara that are going through turmoil right now. That's what the Sahel is. This is all new to me, Don. So the Wagner group is in Mali right now. Putin has positioned Wagner and his mercenaries in Mali and now in Niger to take on NATO. Yes. Specifically the French. So if France, which has a military base in Niger, if I think they have 1,500 troops there. Would 1,500 French troops take on Wagner? That's the great question there, Rick. I mean, how much would France be willing to invest in protecting its interests in Niger?
Starting point is 01:11:06 And consider this, too. If they're distracted with Niger, that means they don't have to they don't have the capacity to deal with everything going on in Ukraine. Doug, France can't afford to lose Niger. 50% of their uranium for their nuke plants comes from Niger. Winter's coming. I mean, we're in summer right now. But winter's coming.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Winter's coming. The U.S. blew up the pipeline, destroyed the flow of gas to Europe. Now, Putin has matched them and said, well, I'm cutting off your uranium for your new plants. How long was Putin thinking about this plan? I think it's been for a while because, especially since they had the African summit last week in St. Petersburg. Yes. So they brought the African leaders to St. Petersburg to talk to them directly. And the article goes on to say from the London Times, if Russia made inroads into the country, it would spread Wagner's reach across most of the region from Sudan to Libya and to Mali.
Starting point is 01:12:07 And this would add to flourishing diplomatic and security relations with countries such as Burkina Faso and Guinea, thereby creating a belt of influence in a straight line from east to west Africa through the Sahara. That's what they call the Sahel. It's a word meaning belt. We are witnessing a major shift in geopolitical power in our lifetime. Very few generations live through things like this. Fall of the Roman Empire.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Fall of the Ottoman Empire. Name the empires. France, France, Spanish. This doesn't happen every year. Only select generations live through something like this. We are witnessing the collapse of the Western Empire. The world is reconfiguring. It's not going to be the total elimination of Western power. It's going to be the dividing of Western power
Starting point is 01:13:13 that the West is only going to control the West. Its tentacles in the East are being removed. The world is going to be bipolar. It seems to be bipolar already in its behavior, but bipolar in the sense that there will be a Western power block and an Eastern power block. Nations will choose which side they're aligned with.
Starting point is 01:13:37 It doesn't necessarily mean that every nation in the East is going to go with the East or every country in the West is going to go with the West. There will be mixture, but all nations will choose a power block and you will do business, trading, military protection, everything within your power block. And you will maybe see two different systems of currency in the world. Two internets.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yes. I mean, two different methods of verification for travel. I mean, two visas. Yes. Yes. So maybe in two different United Nations or whatever comes next. Yes. I agree.
Starting point is 01:14:33 So another world body will be coming, which will not be a world body. It'll be an international body representing perhaps 50% of the world. And you're going to have two groups now. You'll see two military alliances. You'll have NATO and you'll have an Eastern military alliance. That's where we're going. We're living through it. We're witnessing it. It is unlike anything the world has ever seen and it is an exciting time to be alive because you and i as christians we have an assignment from our king to go into all the world not half the world yes all going to all the world and preach the gospel make disciples of all
Starting point is 01:15:07 men and women baptize them in his name cast out devils that's that's our assignment and um we're not to be aligned with power blocks that's right we have a power block, the kingdom of God, and we have a king. And so I'm keeping my focus on my king and his kingdom and his commandments. I hope you're doing the same thing. It's an exciting time to be alive. Our new platform is doing well.
