TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Do You Trust God To Feed You During a Worldwide Food Shortage?

Episode Date: June 29, 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic introduced something that Americans are not use to seeing: empty store shelves. At first, empty store shelves were caused by shoppers hoarding items out of fear there could be a shortage. Now, store shelves are empty because of supply chain disruptions that occurred during the lockdowns. Recently United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned international leaders that worsening food shortages around the world could lead to a catastrophe. He said the world is facing an unprecedented global hunger crisis. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 6/29/22

Deepen your faith. Disciple your family. Defend your freedom. Welcome to Rick Wiles Today. News analysis and commentary. Fresh Bible teaching about the kingdom of God, preparing you to be remnant ready for the final day. Here is Rick Wiles. Well, I'm Rick Wiles, and I'm here to tell you the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth. So help me, God. The purpose of this weekday broadcast is to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. The final day is coming when Jesus Christ will judge the whole world. And I'm here to help prepare you for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Now, in the meantime, you and I must live victoriously for Jesus Christ in this present world. My motto is that we must shine brightly, taste salty, and love everybody. Now, my question today is, do you trust God to feed you during a global food shortage? Well, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced something that Americans are not used to seeing. I'm talking about empty store shelves. At first, empty store shelves were caused by shoppers hoarding items out of fear that there could be a shortage. Now,

store shelves are empty because of supply chain disruptions that occurred during the lockdowns. Recently, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned international leaders that worsening food shortages around the world could lead to a catastrophe. He said the world is facing an unprecedented global hunger crisis. A similar theme was sounded in a recent article published by the Los Angeles Times. The L.A. paper said that the Russia-Ukraine war has worsened the global food supply and that disruptions and famines are now threatening wide swaths of the world. Eurasia Review recently reported that a new study led by the National Institute for Environmental Studies

presents a future when aberrant drought conditions will become more frequent, thereby creating a new normal. Severe drought conditions now grip much of the western United States of America. It is the worst drought in 1,200 years. Now think about what I just said. The Western USA is suffering the worst drought in 1,200 years. Droughts and famines are mentioned throughout the Holy Bible. Most biblical references to droughts and famines are linked to divine judgment on nations and cities. Jesus mentioned famines too when asked by his disciples the signs of the end of the age and his return, Jesus gave a long answer that spans the 24th and 25th chapters of the gospel according to Saint Matthew. Specifically mentioning famines, Jesus said,

and ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. Well, Dr. Burkhart and I will talk today about the ominous specter of global food shortages. More importantly, we will talk about God's faithfulness to supply all our needs, regardless of external conditions. Doc, he's faithful no matter what is happening in the world. Yes. And King David said, I've seen a lot of things, but I'll tell you something I haven't seen. I've never seen the righteous begging for

bread. That's right. I like to say the righteous bake bread. We don't beg for bread. Amen. The righteous will feed people during a food shortage. The righteous will not be out on the street begging for food. The righteous will be feeding the people the street begging for food. The righteous will be feeding the people who are begging for food. That's our position in Christ. And that's the attitude we have to have moving forward, no matter the source of the famine or drought, because in many examples in the Bible, we see that the source of famine and drought comes from God himself. That's right. Touch on that here too. You know, you go back, Doc, in Matthew 24, what Jesus said, he said that there's going to be on that here, too. You know, you go back, Doc, in Matthew 24, what Jesus said.

He said that there's going to be wars and rumors of wars. Well, we actually, we're seeing that quite vividly right now. And he said, don't be troubled. I struggle with that one. Let not your heart be troubled. Yes, that's not easily applied, is it, when we're talking about nuclear war. But he said, don't be troubled. He said, for all these things must come to pass.

We're not going to see Jesus Christ come back until all these things come to pass. And then he said, but the end is not yet. Nation shall rise against nation. That's happening right now. And kingdom against nation. That's happening right now. And kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes. There shall be. Not there might be. There could be. Jesus said there shall be. There shall be famines. There will be starvation. There will be a lack of food.

That's a promise from God that before he comes back, there's going to be worldwide famines, but not just worldwide. He says famines in the old English diverse places, the better way of saying it is just all over over the place. Here, there, everywhere. There's always, there's going to be something happening. Famines, shortage of food, pestilences. What's a pestilence? That could be a disease. It could be invasion, you know, like locust swarms.

It's a plague caused by animals. So it could be a locust invasion or it could be a virus. It's a plague caused by animals and then earthquakes in many places. Right. So that's that's what we know shall happen. Guaranteed. You and I are right now in our audience. We're living in a present age where food shortages are occurring. And here in America, in my lifetime, I have never walked into a grocery store and seen empty shelves. Never until the past year. Have you ever seen anything like this? No, not even when I was a kid. We had some disruptions in the early 70s and everything, but nothing like this

where you see entire shelves, and they put up curtains on shelves so as if to say, don't look at the empty shelves. Or cardboard boxes, cardboard displays. Right. Of what would be there. But you can't eat the cardboard. But today we're focusing on the drought and the famine aspect of things. And for a lot of people that may have just tuned in to our program for the very first time,

this might be the first time you're hearing about any of this news. Yes, it's true. Because there's really a news blackout. In America, it looks like there's news everywhere. It's controlled news. It's filtered news. A lot of people are highly informed with disinformation. There's news everywhere. It's controlled news. It's filtered news.

A lot of people are highly informed with disinformation. Yes, that's a good way to put it. And it's not the news that they slant that you need to be worried about. It's the news that they never give you you need to be concerned about because they keep the public uninformed. It's not misinformed. It's uninformed. That's the main problem. If you're watching on broadcast television or cable TV or satellite, this program continues for another half hour online at my website, rickwiles.com. And then we go into news and news analysis and commentary that we can't do on broadcast

because we now live in a censored country. America no longer allows free speech. So if you want to hear what Doc and I really think, you got to go to my website, rickwiles.com, and listen to the second part of the program every Monday through Friday. So, Doc, we were talking about droughts. And you and I, we've been talking about this for years, that America has gone into a 1,200-year cycle drought.

Yes, and we haven't seen the full impact of that. Now, I know your grandparents, my grandparents, they lived through the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, but what we're talking about now, the kind of drought that we're talking about, that we're just on the cusp of right now, is something far greater than during the Depression. It's a mega drought. Far greater than during the Dust Bowls. It's a mega drought. Yes. It's officially called a mega drought. That hasn't been around for at this level for at least 1,200 years. And how do they know 1,200 years? Tree rings. Right. That's how they know. And so we are in here in the United States, we are in a historical 1,200 year cycle drought. And if you're living in the western United States,

anywhere along the Pacific Coast, and then the western states out to Texas, Oklahoma, you already know how dry it is. We're going to show you some evidence. Here is U.S. mega drought. It's worse for over 1,000 years. How long could it last? A long time.

Yes. Typically, Doc, they last for about somewhere between 20 and 30 years, a mega drought. So we're just getting started in this drought. So it's going to be extremely dry for quite some time. And if you know anything about Las Vegas and Lake Mead, Lake Mead is almost empty. So it's going to be extremely dry for quite some time. If you know anything about Las Vegas and Lake Mead, Lake Mead is almost empty. Right. I mean, the water levels are lower than they've ever been since the dam was built. So they're finding they're finding dead people in barrels that were murdered in Las Vegas and tossed in the Lake Mead and the barrels are now out in the open and the bodies are inside the barrels and they've

been there for decades that's how dry Lake Mead is right now there are boats that sank years ago and they're now in open view. Lake Mead is almost dry. I want to show you a map from the drought monitor. This is a map of Texas. And so, as you can see, the... Large portions, exceptional drought or extreme drought. I would say about 50% of the extreme drought are higher

from the looks of that, wouldn't you? Yes. Now you lived in Texas. You understand the map of Texas much better than I do. Those areas, how important are those areas in the state of Texas? Texas is a huge ranching state. A lot of crops grown in Texas, a lot of cattle. And, you know, that's ranch territory where you see the most severe drought taking place. Right. I lived in the Fort Worth, Texas area in north central Texas for 10 years. And, you know, I never saw anything like this during my 10 years there. So that is severe drought.

But now that's just the state of Texas. Now we're going to show you the map of the United States. Wow, look at that. That's incredible. And so those red and those dark brown areas are where they're experiencing extreme drought at the moment, right now. That's not, and once again, we're just at the beginning of this drought period. That's June 21st.

That's how recent this is. So this ramp up of drought, and this 1,000 year, 1,200 year drought that we're talking about, this is just the beginning. It's also affecting other areas in a limited degree out east, but not to the extent that we're seeing out west. Do you think there's gonna be food supply disruptions? Absolutely.

Just based on, if all you had was this map alone, you'd have to say, yes, something is happening. But there are other things that are happening as well. For wintertime fresh vegetables and fruits, the two states that produce it for the United States is Florida and California. Right. California is in severe drought. That automatically means that there is a reduction in food supply. There is an extreme water shortage in California. And the farmers and ranchers, through historical agreements in the state of

California, have rights to that water. And there's now a lot of pressure to take those water rights away from the ranchers and farmers. But even with the water available that they have available right now. It's not enough. It's not enough. And now there are politicians and interest groups and cities that want to take away that water. Or take away water from other states. Yes. And that's significant too. To get it to people in California.

So we'll show you the story. CBS News, California is rationing water amid its worst drought in how long? 1,200 years. Now, my friends, as I said in the opening, droughts and famines are mentioned throughout the Holy Bible. And typically, they're connected to judgment. And I know that doesn't preach well in 2022, but that's not my problem. That's for people who don't want to know what God says. Yeah.

When you look in the Bible and it talks about drought, there's usually sin. Sin. And it's usually idolatry and sexual immorality. And so God has a pattern of warning nations. He has drought, then famine, and pestilence. And the last stage is war. Right. If they don't respond to the first three, the big one is war.

He'll just send in an invading army and the purpose is for all these is to drive people out of the land no the purpose is to drive them to their knees but when they're stiff-necked and rebellious and proud and they refuse to repent then they're driven off the land i got it it. Yes. And there's a pattern that when a city or state, a city, state, or nation, when they codify their sin into law and it becomes their statutes, their laws of that city, that nation, their idolatry, their sin, their rebellion against God. It actually is made law. That's when the land vomits them out. And where we're at in America right now

is sexual immorality, perversion, homosexuality, transgenderism. All this is being made the law of the land now. And we're dangerously close to the land vomiting the American people off the land. Yes. And how's that done? A military invasion. That's how it happens. I'm here to give you the truth. I said in the beginning, tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God. I don't care about popularity. I don't care about my social media ranking. I don't care. I don't care what people say about me. Let me say that again. I don't care. I only care about

what God thinks about me. I didn't ask for this job. I didn't apply to heaven and say, would you make me a preacher to warn my nation that there's going to be severe judgment if they don't repent? Who in the world would ask for that job? Right. But God put that assignment on me and I have walked it out for 24 years. And we are now at the worst place we've ever been in this country in terms of sin and rebellion against God. There's still time. The fact that we're still here,

the fact that we're still breathing, the fact that we're still talking about it means that there's still time to turn it around. And how do we turn it around? We repent. We get on our knees as a nation. We cry out to God and we repent of our sins and we tell the Lord,

we got off the right road. We got onto the wrong road somewhere. We want to go back and get on the right road, the road of righteousness. And the Lord is gracious and he will help us get back on that right road. But if we just doubled down, like the Jews did, like the Israelites did,

then when God comes to the conclusion, these people are not going to repent. They're just going to get worse. Then that's when the judgment comes. We're in judgment right now. Yes. Look at the map of the United States. Nearly half of the country is in severe mega drought. And we're just getting started.

And we're just getting started. And where are the preachers talking about it? How come I'm the only one on television right now talking about it? How come? I've been talking about it for years, but I just haven't been on television. I'm on television now, and I'm telling you, we're in severe judgment right now and the judgment is going to get worse if the people don't repent but it's not but God provides a voice to his people letting them know that what's happening in the world around us is a result of that sin that's

right and so he did it in the new testament didn't he Rick he sure did in the book of Acts prophets came and told the Christians the early Christians in Jerusalem there's gonna be a drought you can read about it in the book of Acts yeah acts 11 28 one of them named Agabus stood up this when they were having the council in Jerusalem named Agabus stood up and prophesied by the spirit that there would be a great famine throughout all the world, Rick, which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. This is a historical you know, something you can go back and you can verify that happened during that time. But that was only a precursor to

what we're talking about today. And historical records show that that drought started somewhere around 46 AD. Right. So, Doc, I don't know exactly what year this happened when Agabus came. I've been told by others that it was about 10 years before the drought hit. If that's true, then God gave the church a 10 years head start, start storing food. Get ready. I just sent prophets to tell you there is going to be a worldwide famine.

Not just Jerusalem, worldwide. There's going to be a global food. Not just Jerusalem, worldwide. There's going to be a global food shortage. And it did come to pass. It did happen. We also learn from Scripture, too, that there's a principle that the word of the Lord can bring the famine. Yes.

And that happened during Elijah's day. Elijah spoke by the word of the Lord and said, there shall be no rain in this land. Drought and famine. Because of the idolatry, the sin. And so he spoke the words of a drought, a mega drought. Right. And God honored the words of the prophet.

And it didn't rain for three years. And it actually, he felt the impact of his own words. Yes. Because the water dried up where he was camping out. Yes. And he had, the Lord said, get up and go. There's no water left. There was a raven that was bringing food into him.

Well, even the raven either died or went someplace else. But the Lord did it to motivate the prophet to go somewhere. He gave him an instruction. And where did he send him? Sent him to a widow woman. And a widow woman who had pretty much given up on everything and had just a few things left. If we read about it in 1 Kings chapter 17, let's read that. It says, Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab,

As the Lord God of Israel liveth before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years according to my word. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be that thou shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord, for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook. And it came to pass after a while

that the brook itself dried up because there had been no rain in the land. There was no rain in the land because he had spoke the word of the Lord, of judgment on the land. So now it's affecting the preacher who preached the drought in. Right.

So now what's he do? So God had provided him water, had provided him bread, had provided him meat up to this point, but that supply chain closed off. Guess what? God opened up another supply chain for him. It says in verse eight,

and the word of the Lord came unto him and say, arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. God opened up a new supply chain for him, Rick. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks. And he called to her and said, fetch me, I pray thee, a little water and a vessel that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it, she fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it, she had water by the way, he called to her and said, bring me,

I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, as the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel and a little oil in a cruise. And behold, I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it and die. So in that passage, Rick, God had already kind of opened up the door a little bit to the promise that he'd given to Elijah. The widow woman had water. He didn't have water. So he was already meeting Elijah's need already. But they required a step of faith of Elijah to speak to the woman saying, we need to go further than this. She needed a miracle. Yes.

She had enough meal to make a pancake. Yes. She said, I'm going to make a pancake and I'm going to eat it. My son's going to eat it and then we're going to die. Because there was nothing after that. Once she made that final meal, she knew, I'm going to be like all my neighbors around here. They're just skeletons. Look around. Everybody's dead. So she needed the miracle. How did God bring the miracle? There's a famine. There's starvation. There's drought. Her neighbors are dead.

How did God bring the miracle to her? By her willingness to give and to be obedient to the word of the Lord. And so it says there in verse 13, and Elijah said unto her, fear not, and that's important because first of all, you have to get rid of fear

before you can activate your faith. Go and do as thou has said, but make me thereof a little cake first and bring it unto me. And after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord of God of Israel, the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruise of oil fail until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she and he and her house did eat many days and the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruise of oil fail

according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. Doc, what does that mean? The barrel of meal wasted not, the cruise of oil did not fail. That means every time they opened up the meal barrel, there was meal in there. Every time they opened up a container of oil,

there was oil in there. God put her in the bread and oil business in the midst of a famine. Right through the entire drought. Right. Why? Because she gave. She gave out of her need, her need for a miracle to

survive a worldwide food shortage. She put her trust in God. Can you imagine what went through Elijah's mind when God said, I'm sending you to a widow. She's down to her last meal and I want you to tell her to give it to you. The Bible doesn't tell us, but Elijah probably was thinking, no, I can't do this. But he knew that woman needed the miracle. And the only way for her to get the miracle was for her to take an act of faith. She had to take a step of faith and trust God. She had to take a little of what she had. Elijah said, bake me just a little cake first, and then you can have the rest.

She had to give out of the current resources that she had. Not the future resources, but the current resources. Which were meager. Yes. They were meager. And she had no guarantee there would be anything after. But because she had faith in God, because she obeyed God and she gave, God brought a miracle of supply to her and she went through the entire famine. My friends,

we are going into a worldwide famine, a food shortage. It's going to become horrific starting this fall. You need to put your faith in God. You need to trust the Lord. You need to give out of your meager resources or your abundant resources. Whatever you have, you need to be giving right now. My friends, right now, this ministry, I have need of 10 people to give $10,000 this week. I have a need, but you have a need. And I've already put my faith in God. And I know that there are 10 people who will respond. You and I are going to go through this famine that's coming upon the world. We're going to feed the hungry. You and I are going to give testimony of the goodness of God. We're going to be glorifying Jesus all the way through. I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you for watching Rick Wiles Today. Request your copy of Final Day by visiting rickwiles.com. This Gospel Godcast was sponsored by Christian Brethren who are eagerly awaiting the final day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to establish His kingdom that shall have no end. Okay, we're back for part two. Yes. I hope you like the new way we're doing things.

It's a lot easier on Doc and me. You know, we were just talking about God supplying for the widow woman. like the new way we're doing things. It's a lot easier on Doc and me. You know, we were just talking about God supplying for the widow woman. And there might be some people out there that would say, well, that was for her. That's not for me. No, that promise is for you. It is. It is for you right now.

Whatever situation you find yourself going through. And there's a lot of people right now, they look at the headlines, they look at the news, they get fearful. You're talking about famines, you're talking about pestilences. How are any of us going to make it? You can't in your own.

You can't in your own resources. Elijah couldn't. He had to go to a widow woman for his resources and the widow woman needed Elijah too. And like I said, you know his flesh, his pride was resisting it. He was like, I'm a man.

I am not going to go to a widow woman and ask her to feed me. I'm not going to do it. But the Lord was dealing with him saying, Elijah, it's not about you. It's about her and her boy. She needs a miracle. And God uses people. That's right. He uses people to work His miracles in this life. And that's His economy.

That's the way He runs His economy. And you can either be a person who needs a miracle or you can be a person God uses to bring a miracle. Which one do you want to be? Well, if you want to be the one that helps bring the miracle, you got to give. Right. By the way, the woman giving to the man of God or giving to the ministry, if you would, it wasn't Elijah that provided the unlimited meal. And it wasn't Elijah that provided the unlimited oil. It was God. It was God repaying the debt

of the gift that she gave to the man of God, that she, by faith, she could have said, you're just nuts. I'm not giving you my last pancake. That's it. But she was obedient to the word of the Lord and gave out of her current resources. If she had said that, Doc, what would have happened? She would have died and her son would have died. And she was a widow woman. I'm betting the famine took her husband. I mean, she might have even been in a place of fear and bitterness. That's why Elijah had to say to her, fear not. Don't be scared.

Operate in faith. And that's the atmosphere and principle that we have to operate in as well. We have to operate in faith and the fear not. But faith, yes. Well, we don't know, Doc. The Bible doesn't tell us, we don't know when God spoke to her to feed Elijah. Yes. He just says, I've commanded a widow woman to sustain thee.

God had already talked to her. Could have been five years earlier, before the drought started. Right. She could have had plenty of food, and she heard the Lord speak to her heart and say, I'm going to send a preacher to you. And when he arrives, I want you to feed him. And she was like, oh, Lord, absolutely.

Look at all the food we have here. We're abundantly supplied. I've got a husband. He's prosperous. I work hard. We have lots of food. It was an easy promise to make to the Lord. Yes, but then the famine came.

But she didn't know the famine was coming. Her husband dies. The water dries up. The neighbors are dying. There's death everywhere. And then she's down to her last meal. And she looks up. And who's coming down the road?

A preacher. The preacher finally showed up. The one. And the moment she saw him, she's thinking, oh, not you, not now. Why didn't you come five years ago when I had plenty of food? But she kept her promise to God. She did.

She kept her promise. And that's why God honored her. And some of you... God's commanded you too. I'm going to tell you what I'm hearing right now. Some of you made promises to God years ago when you had plenty. And you were rolling in the dough.

You made promises to God. And now, you're not rolling in the dough, but God wants the promises kept. I don't know who that's for, Doc. Somebody out there, it just hits you. It hits you. You're like, that's me. You made promises to God when you were rolling in the dough, plenty of money, plenty of good times. And you made promises, and God said, okay, I'm going to take you at your word. But God decides when he calls the promises due. Right.

And he's calling them due at a time of shortages, of great inflation, of food famines. He's calling the promises due. Yes. And now it's going to require faith to keep the promise. That's right. Because it requires a faith to give out of your abundance. Yes. But it does require a faith to give out of your lack. That's right. And both you and I, we've had experiences in the past where God's spoken to us to give to certain projects or certain ministries. You know,

you make that vow, that promise, and then you kind of forget about it. And God doesn't forget about it. And then God calls you up one day and knocks on the door of your heart and says, you remember that financial promise you made? You remember that commitment that you made many years ago? I've got the invoice for that right here.

And it's due now. But why does he do it then when you need a miracle? Yes. And the widow woman needed a miracle. He's not being mean to you. No. He's being nice to you. You need a miracle.

He wants to open the miracle up for you. Yes. Yes. Aren't you folks glad you stuck around today? Yeah. Yeah. This is part two. It's going to be a new way for us doing the daily program.

I want to switch over to the news side at this point. And I want to comment about that circus that was held yesterday in Washington, D.C. I have not spent, I've not watched any of it through any of the hearings. I don't want to watch it. It's just ridiculous. I'm talking about the January 6th. They call it an investigation. It's not an investigation at all.

It's a lynch mob, and they are determined to lynch Donald Trump. That's what this is all about. So we've got some video of the star witness yesterday, Cassidy Hutchison, in which she accused President Trump of some horrific actions that made world headlines. Let's watch.

The president said something to the effect of, I'm the effing president. Take me up to the Capitol now. To which Bobby responded, Sir, we have to go back to the West Wing. The president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mr. Engel grabbed his arm, said, sir, you need to take your

hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the West Wing. We're not going to the Capitol. Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby Engel. And when Mr. Renato had recounted this story to me, he had motioned towards his clavicles. And was Mr. Engle in the room as Mr. Ornato told you this story? He was. Did Mr. Engle correct or disagree with any part of the story from Mr. Ornato? Mr. Engle did not correct or disagree with any part of the story. Did Mr. Engle or Mr. Ornato ever after that tell you that what Mr. Ornato had just said was untrue? Neither Mr. Ornato nor Mr. Engle told me ever that it was untrue.

We're going to give you some more details regarding her particular statements there. But that was the firestorm that lit everything up yesterday on her accusations regarding that. That goes worldwide. Every newspaper I went to this morning, the main headline was, enraged Trump choked Secret Service agent, grabbed steering wheel. Yes, and they assume, anybody that reads that, reads a headline like that,

will automatically assume it's true. After all, the mainstream media would never lie to us. So, Washington Post yesterday, this is President Trump sought to lead an armed mob to the Capitol on January 6th. Former President, this is what Washington Post is saying, Jeff Bezos' blog, former president knew his supporters were carrying weapons insisted on leading them to the capitol and if you read that

rick you would think that president trump was getting ready to take an you know mount up an armed insurrection and at the u.s capitol and the secret service agents had to resist and drive him away to get him away from doing this deed. So here's CNBC. This is also from yesterday. Trump lunged. See, they used that word lunged. That Secret Service agent enraged when he told he couldn't go to Capitol on January 6th. So all this testimony from Cassidy Hutchison, who was an aide to Mark Meadows, her hearsay, and this was all hearsay testimony, by the way.

She never witnessed any of these events. Paints former president as unhinged. And the person that she said told her didn't witness it either. Right. What does that make it? That makes it. Double hearsay? Double hearsay.

A lie. Double lie. So CNN did a write-up on Cassie Hutchinson, just who is she, and have some quotes regarding this. The top aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who testified before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot, they call it riot, on Tuesday, was a young, fast-rising star in the Trump administration. Cassidy Hutchinson was a staff assistant in the Office of Legislative Affairs

before she was quickly promoted to special assistant to then-President Donald Trump and advisor to Meadows before becoming his executive assistant until the end of the Trump administration. So she was there the whole time. She was even out on the campaign trail, by the way, Rick. She's only 26 years old. So Meadows made Hutchinson his legislative aide,

and she would accompany Meadows to Capitol Hill for his most serious meetings. Hutchinson was with Meadows at all the time, one former White House official said, and another source said she had very close access to Meadows you know I actually met her one time really I met her at Orlando remember when we went up to that very first rally in Orlando we're very loud it was like the giant horse barn she was the one that had approval along the way for our media credentials to get into the building. And so we actually met her at one time. She's the one that handed us the badges

for that. Did you lunge at her? No, I never lunged. I didn't grab her clavicle or anything like that. And so you're a married man. So, well, the reason why I say that is that she had been with the Trump campaign early on. So this, she had a long relationship with the Donald Trump campaign and in the administration. So this testimony of hers is interesting to come out now. Can I, I'm going to say something and this is just my opinion and that's all. I never trusted Mark Meadows. I just never trusted him. Do I know anything? Nope. Just one of those gut feelings. I never trusted Mark Meadows. And what I see here, she had very close access to Mark Meadows. Right. Who brought her into the White House? Mark Meadows. Right. One of President Trump's weaknesses, and I think he was a great president.

One of his weaknesses was he allowed people to be appointed to positions around him. And I think the mistake, I'm guessing at this, I think the mistake that he made is that he took a corporate mindset that he delegated to others the job of hiring people because he didn't want to be involved in that nitty-gritty process of recruiting interviewing vetting people you know it's it's it's not a fun process and i think he just delegated you know staff these offices for me you take the care of this well that can work in business

but in politics it's an open door. It's also in ministry. You can't do that in ministry because Satan will take advantage of that opportunity and he'll get a few key people around you. And if they're given that kind of power, you make the decisions, you hire the people, you tell me who to appoint. Well, that's an open opportunity to infiltrate a presidential administration and surround the president with people who really are not for him. And that's, if I had any major critique of the Trump administration. That is what I saw happen to him over and over and over. He didn't appoint his friends, the people who went out on the battlefield for him,

and he appointed his critics and his enemies inside the Republican Party. And then he wondered why he had snake bites. Right. Because you put snakes around you right yeah if i'm going to add anything to that in in corporate america from where he was coming from too it's not uncommon to pit people against one another too that's right and to create rivalries and that was his style and he brought that to the white house but and to uh politics but in politics it's not based on uh you know the money you can make to. But in politics, it's not based on the money you can make,

to some extent it is, but it's on ideology. And when people, jealousy start getting engendered, that's why, here's somebody that was with the Trump campaign and with the Trump administration at least six years. And then we have this testimony. She's lying. It testimony. She's lying. It's obvious she's lying. And President Trump either yesterday or today made a comment about her and said that

after he left the White House, she desperately wanted to go to Mar-a-Lago. Yes. And he didn't appoint her. And she's angry and bitter that she didn't get a job. Now, she mentioned a couple of Secret Service agents in her testimony there. It was Robert Engel and Tony Arnauto. But those two agents.

Could we hear from them? Well, they're willing to testify that none of this happened. So this is from Fox. This was yesterday evening. Secret service agents willing to testify that Trump did not lunge at steering wheel during Capitol riot. Are we going to hear from these? Well, two secret service agents are prepared to testify before Congress that then President Donald Trump did not lunge at a steering wheel or assault them in an attempt to go to the Capitol during the January 6th riot, a source close to the Secret Service tells Fox News.

And following Trump's speech at the Ellipse, he got into the presidential SUV under the impression that he was going to the Capitol, then had a very strong, very angry response when the head of his Secret Service detail, Bobby Engel, said they were going to the White House. The president said something to the effect of I'm the effing president take me up to the Capitol now. Hutchison testified relaying what she was told later that day by another White House aide Tony Arnotto. Now according to the story and we kind of touched on this during the video the president reached up toward the front of touched on this during the video, the president reached up

toward the front of the vehicle to grab the steering wheel. Mr. Engel grabbed his arm and said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the West Wing. We're not going to the Capitol. Engel and the SUV driver and an unnamed Secret Service agent are prepared to testify before the January 6th Committee that the President did not lunge at the steering wheel. The January 6th Committee and the Secret Service are in discussions about whether one or both men will appear on camera. Well, they should both appear. They should have appeared beforehand. Beforehead. Ms. Hutchison. And the Secret Service knew about Hutchison's testimony coming up several days ago. And they actually, you know, the Secret Service actually addressed the January 6th committee and said,

you've got to give us an opportunity to, you know, respond to this. And they hadn't got a response by the time Hutchison had her. And so we've got that story. That's from Politico. Secret Service, January 6th committee didn't reach out before Hutchinson's explosive Trump testimony. Well, they didn't reach out because they didn't want to hear anything. They didn't want to hear. This is not an investigation.

No, it's a witch hunt. It's a kangaroo court. They started with a guilty verdict. They're now trying to find the evidence. You got it. So the January 6th committee didn't reach out to the Secret Service in the days before it aired explosive testimony about an alleged physical altercation between Donald Trump and his security detail on the day of the riot. Anthony Guglielmi,

the service's chief of communications, told Politico that select committee investigators did not ask Secret Service personnel to reappear or answer questions in writing in the 10 days before asking Hutchinson about the matter at the hearing. We were not asked to reappear before the committee in response to yesterday's new information, and we plan on formally responding on the record, he wrote in an email. We have and will continue to make any member of the Secret Service available. So Rick, it's sounding to me like the Secret Service is ready, willing, and able to provide whatever testimony is necessary

to respond to this current accusation. Because really, you know, this accusation not only diminishes the president, it diminishes the Secret Service. Of course. I mean, it says that they can't protect the president in his own vehicle. That's right. And as I said, this is not about trying to find the truth. This is not an investigation. The Democrats and two Republicans, Liz Cheney and Congressman Kinzinger, they've joined this committee with the preconceived notion that Donald Trump is guilty, that he should be arrested, sent to prison, barred from ever running for public office again, that anybody associated with Donald Trump should also be demonized, criminalized.

That's the purpose of these hearings. They're not interested in facts and truth. They're interested in sending him to prison. And the fact that they brought this 26-year-old office assistant out who didn't see any of it. No, this is second and third hand from her.

It's a joke. It's an absolute joke. It's outrageous. This is something that would be done. This is like something they'd do in Iraq when Saddam Hussein was in charge. Or maybe Idi Amin in

Uganda. Yeah, you're guilty. Where's the evidence? So now this is from Washington Post once again. Hutchison provided nuggets. Well, you could call them nuggets for justices criminal probe experts say. Doc, this is it, right?

Okay, go ahead and read the quotes. So former White House aide Cassidy Hutchison's testimony to the January 6th committee offered damaging anecdotes about President Donald Trump, including allegations that legal experts said could factor into the Justice Department's sprawling criminal investigation of the events before, during, and after the Capitol riot. It goes on to say, David Laufman, a former senior Justice Department lawyer now in private practice,

said Hutchison's testimony contained credible nuggets of information that would support prosecutors viewing Trump as an investigative target in a seditious conspiracy investigation. Other legal experts broadly agree that the hearing made it more likely that the former president could become a target of the Justice Department probe, although

opinions vary on what charges could be considered. Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti said he thought Hutchinson's information could support an investigation into whether Trump could be charged with incitement to violence. The heart of this, Rick, is they want to bring up Trump on charges of sedition and insurrection. Yes, they want him handcuffed, they want him sent to prison, and they want to criminalize all of his supporters. What that article said is that her testimony provided prosecutors with the nuggets to widen the investigation. It's the same play out of the playbook that the Democrats used against Donald Trump at the beginning of his administration when clinton paid for a fake dossier written by a

british spy and then planted fake stories about connections to a russian bank to do what to get the secret fisa court to issue the the the surveillance warrants yes Yes. The only reason the FISA court gave out those warrants is because they were told this stuff is true. The Democrats are doing the same thing again. Well, why not? It worked before. It did work, and they just brought out a 26-year-old office assistant

who lied in front of the whole world and told the whole world, this is a fact, Donald Trump tried to choke a Secret Service agent. He grabbed a steering wheel. There was a fight going on in the presidential vehicle.

She's a liar. But it doesn't matter, Doc, because the House Democrats are going to run over to the department of justice run by a a socialist attorney general and biden's attorney general yes okay and they're going to use that testimony to open the door for to get subpoenas and warrants and a grand jury in order to arrest Donald Trump. Her testimony was based on hearsay. Two to three levels down.

And yet we have Hunter Biden's emails. Yes. We have his. We have. The laptop emails. We have his, we have. The laptop itself. We have the laptop itself. We have Joe Biden's voice on a voicemail talking to his son about the New York Times article that mentions Hunter Biden's connection, his business dealings with the former chief of China's surveillance intelligence agency. That Hunter Biden himself said, he's a spy. He's a chief spy.

We know that Joe Biden was wiring money to his son to pay for Russian hookers. We know for a fact. That was rehab, remember? Rehab hookers. Hunter's rehab hookers. And daddy was sending him money. It just happened to be a coincidence that every time the money came in was when Hunter was down at the rehab center getting another hooker. You know why?

Because daddy Biden knew what his little boy Hunter was doing. Because Joe Biden is an old pervert and he's pimping his son. He pimped his son to become a crook. He destroyed his life and Joe Biden was giving him the money for the hookers. We know this is a fact. That's not third level hearsay.

But the Justice Department's not doing an investigation. All crickets. They're going after Donald Trump with fake information. It is a tragedy of justice. It is absolutely, it's shocking that this is taking place and the Democrats have they have the gall to say that they're trying to save democracy. They're destroying. Technically yes. Mob rule. Yes but they're destroying the republic. Yes. They're destroying

the rule of law. We in America we don't put people in prison based on hearsay. That's what mobs do. Bring me two witnesses that collaborate that they saw and heard Donald Trump do those things.

Two witnesses. Not even one. Two. What did they do in the Bible in the sham trial against Jesus Christ? They had a trial. The Sanhedrin had a trial late at night. Yes.

Violated their own Jewish rules. They brought Jesus in. They said, we got to get some witnesses. They went out into the city. They found two liars. They brought two men in who lied against Jesus Christ. We heard him say they were lying. And even when they, technically they weren't lying, neither. They said, we heard him say he would tear down this temple.

Yes. Yes. But they twisted the words. That's right. Because he was talking about his own body. Yes. He was talking about his own body. And they knew they were twisting the truth. Yes, and the Sanhedrin knew it and they weren't because they were all in it but they had to make it all legal Rick yes and it was it was the it was the Caiaphas cabal and they had a guilty verdict already made they just needed to find some lying witnesses to justify the guilty verdict the Democrats already have a guilty verdict on Donald Trump. They're trying to find the witnesses to make this a legitimate

lynching. That's all it is. It's a lynching. I said in 2017, in March of 2017, at the beginning of the Trump administration, I said the race is on to see who goes to prison first, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton and the Biden. One of them is going to go to prison first. And we are. We're years into this battle. And. It still favors that the corrupt are going to put Trump in prison. Yes.

What is going to happen in this country the day that millions of Americans see Donald Trump in handcuffs? Oh, my goodness. People will go crazy, Rick. I'm telling you, these people, the Democrats want another civil war. They're trying to start a civil war. Well, we want to kind of show you a little bit about President Donald Trump's limousine here. Before we do this, I noticed when you were reading that, you and I have been assuming it was a limousine. That article said SUV.

I know, but. Was it the limousine or the SUV? Well, from what we understand, I guess they're interchangeable. Well, an SUV is not the size of the limousine. That's true, but no one has disputed that he was in the limousine in all the media reports. And why would they bring an SUV and not the Beast? They call it the beast. Well, that's true. That's why I'm saying, you know, I think it really was the beast that they were traveling in because it's the most secure vehicle that they have. Do they have SUVs in the presidential, you know, entourage? Yeah, they certainly do. But they don't put the president in it. No, they don't put the president in it.

So. All right. So let's go ahead and look at it so um this is a diagram of president trump's limousine they nicknamed it the beast okay uh not because it's the beast from the bible but because it's just such a you know big vehicle um and just the size of it all the different safety features uh you know they even carry the president's blood on board the limousine in case he ever gets it. Oxygen. Yeah, it's got enclosed its own oxygen system and everything. You see the driver up front in the driver's seat. Of course, there's a partition of glass behind him. That partition of glass can go up and down. OK, but what's interesting about it, see how far back the president sits in the vehicle and that there are other people that sit behind the driver

next to the partition of glass. Secret service agents who are obviously in the vehicle with the president at the time. Now, you may say to yourself, well, maybe somebody lowered the partition. Well, you can lower it, but there's only one person in the vehicle that can lower it, and that's the president himself. He has a switch by his seat that can lower the partition of glass up there by the driver.

But you're still a good six to eight feet away from the driver, even if you lower it, which would mean that the president would have to come through the vehicle, climb over Secret Service agents, reach over, grab the steering wheel. While he's still in the back. While he's still in the back. So unless he's Stretch Armstrong, that's just not happening.

And he's also fighting off a Secret Service agent, grabbing a Secret Service agent by the neck. mean the story is the leader you know the the idea of this is just so far out of of comprehension is hard to believe and and their Secret Service agents are confirming this it's number 2029 for control the claim that Secret Service restrained Trump on January 6th is nonsensical. Constantinos Destimitros, a former Secret Service agent who was the physical security lead at over 100 events for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush between 1999 and 2004, said this allegation was nonsensical. Dimitros said Trump physically could not have reached from the backseat of the SUV

and taken control of its steering wheel. This is a problem with the way the vehicle is designed, Dimitrilos said, knowing that he regularly performs sweeps with the presidential SUV for bugs as well as physical, chemical, and biological threats during his time with the Secret Service Technical Security Division.

You're talking about an armored vehicle, which isn't a normal vehicle, he said. This isn't designed the way an SUV is designed. It's not designed for someone in the back seat to take control of the steering wheel. It's just not. But don't let the laws of physics bother you. But not one member of that kangaroo court questioned that woman. Not one member said, wait a minute, explain this.

How did he get, how did Donald Trump get up to the front seat of the presidential vehicle? I mean, she knows so much, she should know the answer to that question. But not one person. They wanted that testimony to get the headlines around the world. People in Great Britain and Europe and Asia, everywhere this morning were reading the newspapers today, watching their television news and hearing these horrific reports that Donald Trump went nuts, that he choked a Secret Service agent, he climbed over the seat, grabbed a steering wheel. He wanted to personally get out of the car and march up to the Capitol and lead a group of armed Trump supporters who were going

to go in there and hang Mike Pence. That's the image that they want. Yes. And none of it happened. None of it. It was all made up for the news headlines, but even worse, beyond the news headlines, the purpose of it is to give the Justice Department the legal cover to issue subpoenas and to bring a grand jury in. And to put a charge of sedition against the president himself.

Yes. We'll lock him away for the rest of his life. And they're going to go after his supporters. That's right. They're not done yet. Well, of course, if... But we are, Doc. If you believe all that that she said, then I've got a bridge to sell you, too.

So you have to discount everything that this woman says, because obviously that is, I'm not saying it's inaccurate. I'm saying it's a lie. She said other things, too. She made the accusation that Giuliani and Meadows actually collaborated, you know, in leading up to January 6th. They knew that there was going to be a march on the Capitol on January 6th. We also heard the claims about, you know, that President Trump threw his lunch against the wall, but there was ketchup on the wall and everything. And she was cleaning it.

She had to go in and help clean it up and all of that. But, Rick, there's one clip I wanted to show you that kind of revealed, I think, the real reason why she made this testimony. It goes back to, you know, that Mar-a-Lago comment that you made earlier. So let's watch this. This is number 36. She explains her feelings about everything related to all that transpired with Donald Trump on January 6th? As a staffer that works to always represent the administration to the best of my ability and to showcase the good things that he had done for the country, I remember feeling frustrated, disappointed, and really, it felt personal. It was really sad. As an American, I was disgusted.

It was unpatriotic. It was un-American. We were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie. And it was something that was really hard in that moment to digest, knowing what I had been hearing down the hall. So the key words there, it personal mm-hmm well now why did it feel personal to you what was it that transpired that it felt personal to you I think she's just an ex-employee that has an extra grind I do too maybe even

worse doc she may have been deliberately planted in the White House for this very purpose. I'm so cynical, I'm looking everywhere for plants. You don't mean houseplants. I don't mean houseplants. We're living in a very wicked time and people are treacherous and seditious. And the Bible foretold that, too,

that as we approach these end times, that wickedness would abound. Oh, yes. That scoffers and mockers would increase. And the love of many would grow cold. Yes. People would turn against their parents and everything. Yeah, that's where we're at.

Hey, I got one final story to tell you. This isn't serious. This is anything but serious. So I want to show you, I want to tell you about something that happened out at my home. I want to show you some video. This is the creek that runs along my property. And so it's not a really big creek, but, you know, it's nice. It's got a lot of fish in it, a lot of snook.

That area down there at the far end, I've known that there's an alligator down there. Now, this is looking the other direction. This isn't my property. This is looking to the west side of my property. But if you live in Florida, this is alligator country. And I've known since I've lived there. I've occasionally seen alligators in the creek, but they're very skittish. When they see you looking at them. Now, right there, you see the bananas? See the bananas there at the top?

I want you to go down. And I'm looking. I was looking at the bananas. And now this is going down to the bank. I'm standing up a couple feet on a bank. And right there was a seven-foot alligator. There's the bad boy. That's him. Doc, I walked up onto an alligator and didn't know it. I was looking up at the bananas because I wanted those bananas. There he is.

And when I walked up and I'm staring at the bananas, I didn't look down, and the bank was just a few feet down to the creek, but he was lying on the bank parallel with the bank and the creek. Right. And I looked down and there is a seven-foot alligator. Now, fortunately, he went into the water,

but he could have easily come up the bank because, let me tell you, alligators move fast. They move extremely fast. And that was a wake-up call for me. Susan and I have been in this home. We moved into it in June of last year. And so we've been there one year. And like I said, I've known that there were alligators in the creek.

But that was my first personal encounter with an alligator, especially a seven-footer. Now, this is what got creepy. That rascal, my grandkids were playing in the yard. So I had seven little grandkids running around in the yard. I told them, when I realized I had seen an alligator,

I didn't have my phone with me, so I told one of my grandsons, run in the house, get my phone. So that's when we brought the phone out. I was able to get the video of the alligator. But that alligator, typically they take off. They go underwater. They get away from people.

That alligator turned around and came up to the bank, still in the water, and sat there staring at my grandkids. I made the grandchildren go into the patio, screened in patio. I said, get out of here. I want you to go in the house, go on the patio and play. That alligator stayed stationary, staring in their direction for one hour. Wow. My son, Jeremy and I threw rocks at him. He would not leave. Jeremy hit him on the head with a rock, a fairly large side rock. He just stared back at him. I'm thinking, okay, we got a psycho here. This is a psycho alligator. He's a serial killer. This guy is staring at a bunch of little kids who are making noise because the kids were on the patio. He could still hear them and see them. Right. He sat there for

one hour. You could not get that gator to leave. That's what creeped me out. It's like he's not acting like a normal gator. He's starting to act like a predator. So it has changed my habits. I don't walk up to that creek anymore without looking down at the bank to make sure I'm not surprising an alligator seven footer seven footer will eat you it will take your leg off okay but this is the dumb thing I did at an earlier time another bunch of bananas

let's roll that video again. I'll show you if we can get to where the bananas are at. Okay, so the bananas are hanging over the creek. And these aren't just ordinary bananas. Okay, right there. Those bananas, that bunch is hanging over the creek.

You cannot physically reach out and touch them. Right. So the last time there was a banana bunch there, the way I got it myself is I took a shepherd hook out of the yard that Susan had a planter on, and I hooked the branch, and I pulled it in, and then I had a knife, and I cut the vine. Well, the problem is you're holding the branch with one hand, you're cutting the vine with another hand,

and you've got to catch the bananas with your third hand. And I didn't have a third hand that day, okay? I did catch the bananas, but about a half dozen of them fell off and rolled down the bank into the creek. This is what I did that was really dumb. I went down the creek and got them. You went into the water? Well, I didn't get wet.

They were right on the edge. I went down the creek. It was only about, you know, five feet down. Right. Okay, I went down, scooped up the bananas, and when I turned to climb back up that's when I said, Rick, this is stupid.

There could be an alligator here. And I thought, I'll never do that again. Well then, this is what happened. Another bunch of bananas ripened and they're right there in the same place. These must be some pretty good bananas. They are. They're ice cream bananas.

This is what I'm saying. It's so stupid to go out there and to try to get bananas out of a creek just to salvage a half dozen little bananas. Never really taking seriously

that there could be a gator that close. Right. All right. So I just want to tell you, these things happen because something like that easily can come out of the water and grab you. I have seen so many stories this year in Florida about alligators eating people.

Yeah, like people jogging along levees. Yes, yes. I've seen so many stories this year in Florida about alligators eating people. Yeah, like people jogging along levees. Yes, yes. And never returning home. Yes. They just come up out of the water suddenly, and they're very fast. But I will tell you this, all right?

There is a good ending to this story. I've got to reach down and get it. He's reaching down to the creek right now. All right. I got the bananas. Okay. I got them. All right. And I have both legs. So, Doc, help yourself to one.

These are really good bananas. They're ice cream bananas. They taste like ice cream. They smell delicious. But it's one of the benefits of living here in Florida because I've got bananas all year round. And it is good, isn't it? Very good. All right.

Is it worth fighting a gator for? I'm not sure. No, I'm not going to do that. I would not do that again. That's it for today. We'll see you tomorrow. God bless you. Thank you for watching Rick Wiles Today.
