they set a new record for sleaze. This time, the corrupt Department of Justice arrested the whistleblower who claims he has insider knowledge about Chinese money flowing to the Biden family. Now, before we get started, I need to tell you, Doc Burkhardt is home recuperating from a weekend accident in his home. He's feeling better, but he needs more time to rest. And so we ask you to continue to pray for Doc's speedy recovery. True News podcast producer Eddie DaCunha is here again to sit in for Doc. So let's start with a Times of Israel article about the arrest of a Biden crime family whistleblower. Unbelievable, Eddie, that they did this. There's uh, Israel is covering this because, uh, this gentleman has dual

citizenship, U.S. Israeli analysts charged in New York with being a covert China agent and arms dealer. So let's, let's see what the times of Israel has to say. According to the prosecutors, Gal Luck, uh, subverted foreign agent registration laws in the united states to seek to promote chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking u.s government official all right so they're they're they're claiming that the man that they arrested today was committing criminal offenses by doing international business deals without registration. Well, and I've asked this question in the past. Is Hunter Biden a registered foreign agent?

Everything the man does is with foreign countries. And I seriously doubt he's ever filled out the official application with the State Department that you notify the State Department that you are acting as a foreign agent. The Times of Israel article said that the statement did not name the former U.S. official, saying only at the time he was working as an advisor to then U.S. President Donald Trump. Luft, it said, agreed to covertly recruit and pay the official on behalf of principals based in China. And it goes on with saying the prosecutor said that Luft worked to broker a deal for Chinese companies to sell weapons to Libya, including anti-tank launchers, grenade launchers, and mortar rounds on a commission basis. In the communications, Luck or Luft,

we're learning how to say, how to properly, Luft. And his associates used coded language referring to weapons as toys, they said. And other alleged brokering activities were for potential deals to the United Arab Emirates that included aerial bombs and rockets. Another alleged deal was for Chinese weapons to be sold to Kenya, including strike drones. Now, what surprises me about all this is that we have a video for us to watch later, but it describes how he has never bought a firearm in his life. He doesn't know how to deal with arms. And yet they threw this charge at him to be able to arrest him in Cyprus, of all places. And this guy is the whistleblower that the Republicans have been talking about. The one that knows about the tens of millions of dollars.

This is him. This is the guy. And he originally came forward to the DOJ in 2019, leading up to the election. Yes, which means that the Justice Department under Donald Trump. Yes. I don't know who was, I don't remember whether Bill Barr, I don't, you know, I lost track. There were so many attorneys general in the Trump administration. It was the acting deputy, yes.

But whoever was there knew about this allegation. Yes. And covered it up. And I seriously doubt if President Trump was ever informed about it. Well, they covered it up originally saying that it was too close to the elections. That's why they couldn't pursue the case in 2019.

Well, let's take a look at the Daily Mail in London. They're also covering this. Israeli professor who claims to have given evidence to the FBI about Biden family corruption is charged by the Department of Justice with arms trafficking and Iran sanctions violations as he remains on the run. And so this, the Daily Mail article says, an Israeli professor who claims to have given evidence to the FBI about Biden family corruption has been charged by the Department of Justice with arms trafficking and violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran. The professor, Gao Luft, was arrested on multiple counts related to working secretly for China and attempting to broker the sale of arms to Libya, Kenya,

and the UAE. Luft alleges that he possesses information about the Biden family's business dealings with individuals linked to Chinese military intelligence. Now we have some quotes from the Daily Mail article. Yes, the Daily Mail is reporting that Luft is charged with willfully failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, arms trafficking, Iranian sanctions, violations, and making false statements to federal agents. This is, Eddie, that's the law I'm talking about. It's known as FARA, F-A-R-A, the Foreign Agents Registration Act. And if you are doing business with a foreign country representing them, it is federal law that you register with the State Department, notify the U.S. government that you're working on behalf of a foreign government. I've asked this for years.

Has Hunter Biden officially registered with the Foreign Agents Registration Act? I've asked this question about high-level evangelical pastors working on behalf of Israel. It is a federal law. And you can go to prison for not registering. It's a major crime. And I think it's five to ten years in prison. Well, if you're a Democrat, you won't go to prison. Obviously. Obviously.

And if you rat out a Democrat, you'll go to prison because that's what's happened to this guy. It says, Luft last week told the new york post in a video film from an undisclosed location he was being hunted down by the justice department because he had information about the biden's quote i who volunteered to inform the u.s government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life. Now, this is a statement that he made recently, but he was picked up today.

He was picked up in Cyprus. Yes, in Cyprus. And he's facing a lot of years in prison. I think it was 100 years. The Daily Mail says Luff claims he met with FBI agents in Brussels in 2019, told them relatives of President Joe Biden were receiving vast sums of money from Chinese officials. He said the China State Controlled Energy Company, CEFC, was paying $100,000 a month to Hunter Biden and $65,000 a month to his uncle, Joe's brother, James Biden. Now, we have the video of Gal Luft and we are going to play, I think we have what, about five segments. It's a long video. We broke it up into segments. But we want you to hear

what this man said on record. Well, it's what he, he posted the video months ago. He's been wanting to testify to the U.S. Congress. This is the guy the FBI denied existed. Yes.

This is the guy that the FBI director didn't want the U. Yes. This is the guy that the FBI director didn't want the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House to hear this man's testimony. So let's start with the first video. This is the March 2019 meeting

to warn of the Biden family's relationship with China. My ordeal goes back to a fatal decision I made in March of 2019 to share with the U.S. government my knowledge about the Biden family's relations with CFC. As I said, it was in March of 2019 in a two day session at the U S embassy in Brussels. I insisted that the meeting take place in March because at the time there were rumors that Joe Biden was planning to run for president.

I saw it as my civic duty to alert the government beforehand and give it enough time to probe the issue. I want to be clear, I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat, I have no political motive or agenda. I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal. Only this time was China. Sadly, because of the DOJ's cover up, this is exactly what happened. So he told the Department of Justice in March 2019, more than a year, a year and a half before the 2020 election. And this again was during the Trump administration. But I seriously doubt that Donald Trump was ever

told about this man's testimony. You know, the Department of justice is corrupt to the bone and they have covered up for the biden family crime syndicate syndicate and but it's all coming out now in this next video mr luff shared alarming information of a mole sharing classified information with hunter biden this is an interesting one. Watch. But perhaps the most alarming information I revealed was of a mall within the DOJ who shared classified information with Hunter Biden and his Chinese partners.

I told the DOJ that Hunter was closely associated with a very senior retired FBI official who had distinct physical characteristics. He had one eye. One of the FBI agents at the time even told me, you know, that would be very easy for us to find. There aren't that many one-eyed people in the Bureau. The information I provided the FBI in March of 2019 was fully corroborated nine months later when the famous laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, which contained all the emails and receipts, was handed to the FBI. And guess who seized the laptop from the computer repair shop? It was Special Agent Joshua Wilson, who was with me in Brussels earlier.

In other words, the FBI knew from me about the Biden CFC deals before they got hold of the laptop, way before. They had enough time to investigate the issue, but they didn't. It's really important here. The FBI agent involved with the laptop is the same FBI agent that interviewed him in Brussels. And they picked up the laptop months after that interview,

so he was already aware of the situation and had an idea of things to look for in the laptop, but instead decided to just bury the laptop, forget about it, and move on. So once again, this name, Joshua Wilson, FBI agent, comes up in this crime syndicate story one more time. And you have to ask the question, who is this FBI agent really working for? He's going out of his way to protect the Bidens and the Chinese.

We have another one to watch. Yes, we do. In this one, he talks about a connection with the IRS approving a 501c3 that linked the Clinton Foundation to the China-controlled energy company. Let's watch. The U.S. government claims that I acted on behalf of CFC, and therefore I'm a foreign agent. But let me tell you a little secret. The same CFC that the U.S. government claims was associated with the Chinese intelligence and, quote, an international criminal organization, was a 501c3 charitable organization registered in the state of Virginia and approved by the IRS. The same organization was also a major donor to the Clinton Foundation and

Columbia University, needless to say that none of their executives were charged for any wrongdoing. If CFC was indeed a foreign entity tied so closely to the PRC, why was it allowed to operate freely as a public charity? Why did the government expose taxpayers to the risk of funding an entity new at the time was so compromised? Eddie, the trio keeps going back to the China Communist Party. Yes. And the Bidens are bought and paid for by the China Communist Party. In the next segment, Mr. Luft asked the question, why did the Department of Justice wait so many years to indict me?

You know, if I'm so guilty, why wait so long? Well, you know, the answer is very obvious, because you're now willing to testify to the u.s senate and u.s house about what you know that's why they arrested you now to get you in a jail cell so that you can't testify anyone mentions now this is way past the statute of limitations so legally i mean they they shouldn't have any any grounds to do this and yet they're still pushing it through i haven't heard that yet this does he talk about it? He does. Let's watch. Also,

why did the DOJ wait six whole years, well beyond the statute of limitation, to indict me? And why did the DOJ choose to unseal the indictment on November 1st,

2022, the very same week of the midterm elections. Could this have anything to do with the fact or the fear that once Republicans gain control over Congress and begin to investigate, their cover-up would be in full display? And perhaps the biggest question of all, why am I being indicted for FARA for a ghost writing an innocuous article for which I received no payment, let alone from a foreign government,

when the mother of all FARA cases, the Biden systemic influence peddling on behalf of foreign governments for which they raked millions, goes unpunished? That's my same question. And we have one more. And this is Dr. Luft informed on a potential threat to the U.S., but now he's on the run. But he's not running anymore because he's now locked up. But this is the last segment from the video that he posted online many months ago. Here it is. Let it sink in. I, who volunteered to inform the U.S. government about potential security breach

and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, I'm now being hunted by the very same people whom I informed and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life. I warned the government about potential risk to the integrity of the 2020 elections if convicted convicted by a U.S. court, would never be able to vote again in the U.S. elections. Just think about it and ask yourself, who's the real criminal in this story? So once again, just to drive this home, whenever you hear Senator Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson and Congressman Comer talking about a whistleblower with knowledge of tens of millions of dollars from the China Communist Party going to the Biden family. This is the man. They arrested him today. This is the man. They want to make sure he's in a federal prison, never allowed to testify.

And if they have their way, he'll have an accident in the prison. Yes. Something will happen to him. And nobody will ever hear this man's testimony. This next story, New York Post also, Biden aides refused to comment on the first family's FARA exposure after American charged for work with the same China firm. So this is our question that we ask, why hasn't Hunter Biden been required to register with the State Department. The article says that Biden aides have refused to comment on the potential Foreign Agents Registration Act liability for President Biden, his son Hunter, and his brother James

after a U.S. citizen was criminally charged for working as an unregistered agent of the same Chinese firm that paid the Biden family. The White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both declined to provide additional comments or address the issue during a briefing at a NATO summit in Lithuania. The charged couple, Gal Luft, alleges that he provided the FBI with information in 2019 regarding the Biden family's involvement with Chinese firm CEFC. Yes, and the article goes on to explain that the CEFC is a single defunct cog in Beijing's Belt and Road foreign influence campaign and provided the Biden family one of its most lucrative foreign income streams. Luft claims he provided the FBI with information in 2019 about the Biden family's role in the operation. Yeah, and it also says that the Chinese government linked to CEFC

sent roughly $5 million to accounts associated with Hunter Biden within 10 days of a threatening July 30, 2017 text message to a Chinese man in which the first son, Hunter Biden, invoked his dad and threatened payback if an agreement was not fulfilled. Let's move on to the next one. The New York Post does an outstanding job on this Hunter Biden scandal. I don't know where we would be if we didn't have the New York Post. This article says key White House officials had strong ties. This is a number 21. So key White House officials had strong ties to Hunter Biden before Hunter Biden's father's

presidency. There we go. There's the headline. And we're just going to scroll down. Maybe if we're not blocked, the article shows you all of the officials in the Biden administration who were linked. Well, mostly to Obama. That's why I keep thinking Obama is the big guy. So there's your first one, Antony Blinken. He is an Obama administration retread. He's now Secretary of State. Then we get to Evan Ryan and another one, Jeff Zintz. Remember him? He was the COVID czar under Biden in the first two years. Ron Klain was a chief of staff. Kathy Chung.

This is the woman that moved the classified documents from one place to another. How about that? Elizabeth Alexander was involved in the Biden campaign. Annie, what is this, Tomasini, another one working out of the Oval Office. Michael Donilon, Louisa Terrell. These are all people connected to the Bidens and Obama, and they're all they're all linked to the companies that China was doing business with the Bidens. What a nice little family. Now you know why so many people are fighting to keep this covered up. It's a bunch of my truckload of them could go to prison if it all came out at one time.

I want to turn to... Yeah, and I missed all that with the DOJ covering up Biden's involvement with China. China's now getting ready. Well, Taiwan is getting ready for a possible China attack. We have a story here from the Financial Times. Taiwan plans massive safety drill to practice for a possible China attack. We have a story here from the Financial Times. Taiwan plans massive safety drill to practice for a possible China attack.

You know, I don't want to make the Taiwanese people nervous. They've got enough to be concerned about. And we have Taiwanese friends of True News that watch us from Taiwan. But don't put your confidence in Joe Biden to defend you. It's all smoke and mirrors. He is owned by China. The United States is not going to do anything to defend Taiwan if a war breaks out while Biden is in the White House. That's my concern, that China is going to move on Taiwan before the 2024 election.

Because if Biden is removed from the White House, they've lost their puppet. And if there's a strong Republican in the White House that would defend Taiwan, then everything changes involving an invasion of Taiwan. So they've got to get it done while Biden is still in the White House. But do not believe Biden's going to defend Taiwan.

He's not going to go to war against his paymaster. So the Financial Times has reported that Taiwan will hold its first large-scale evacuation drill in decades this month and a sign that it is trying to harden civil defenses against a potential Chinese attack. The Financial Times said the drill will take place across Taiwan and will cover districts that collectively are home to 3 million of its 23 million people. Taiwanese police and civil defense officials will lead everyone who is on the streets at the time of the drill into bomb shelters, the Taiwanese defense ministry said on Tuesday. The evacuation will be practiced in one district in

each of Taiwan's 22 counties and municipalities. Eddie, this is a major civil defense drill. Yes. If you're on the street walking as a pedestrian or driving, you are going to be stopped by the military in order to go to a bomb shelter. So nobody will know when the drill will start. And like I said, if you're out on the street, if you're driving or walking, you're going into a bomb shelter. They're going to do a drill for a mass relocation of the population in the bomb shelters.

That is a sign that Taiwan's officials are becoming very nervous that the attack is coming soon. And some people are calling it a little too late because the U.S. has been warning Taiwan for a while that they've had to invest more in their defense. So some officials have said that this is too late for Taiwan to be taking this seriously, but they're glad to see it. Now, there are some quotes we have from the article, beginning with Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory and threatens to annex it if Taipei refuses to submit to its control indefinitely. Over the past year, the People's Liberation Army has held two rounds of large-scale exercises around the island and continuously stepped up air and naval patrols in the vicinity. Taiwan's defense ministry said 34 Chinese military aircraft

operated near Taiwan on Tuesday, 29 of which crossed the unofficial Taiwan Strait median line. This shows that China is not... I mean, like you've said, Biden is in their pocket. China's not afraid of us. They're not afraid to push that line. They're just slowly inching closer. And the war planes,

this was actually the theme of the next article from The Sun. War footing, China sends 34 war jets and four ships on a combat readiness patrol close to Taiwan in chilling escalation. I want to move on to this next one because this is an interview I heard this morning on Fox Business News and Kyle Bass and I really I perk up and I pay attention when Kyle Bass is talking and so I listened I had I was able to hear the entire interview driving here today and we divided up most of the interview into I think three parts he said some shocking things about what is taking place with the Chinese coming into the United States of America over the Texas border you're going to be stunned when you hear these things. The first one, Mr. Bass is talking about China preparing to invade Taiwan. Let's watch.

In the face of all of this aggression from communist China, do we have to be in China? What's your take? My take is simple, Maria. I'm giving a speech, as you know, at the Hudson Institute tomorrow focused on the timeline to war, basically how Xi Jinping is moving towards basically invading Taiwan and creating much larger problems for the world than even Russia, Ukraine. You know, when you're a corporate CEO and you have a board, your duty to your shareholders is to make money. It's not to protect the national security of the U.S. or Europe. You know, again, I say in our firm all the time, if our national security was left up to the private sector, we'd all be speaking Chinese

tomorrow. But leadership needs to put guardrails up on our capitalism and say, you know, maybe we look at the director of national intelligence's annual report and say, well, the countries that the director of national intelligence in the United States deems to be the largest threats to U.S. national security, maybe we should put some guardrails up around them and make them even more stringent. And China features number one on that list every single year. So you and I talk about, Maria, this gap between Wall Street and the intelligence and military complexes of the West. And that gap just continues to widen. And as long as Wall Street can go chase whoring profits, that's exactly what they're going to do. And corporate America is going to follow suit. In this next segment, and I

want to alert our guys in the control room, I'm going to jump down to number 32. In this next segment, Mr. Bass talks about Xi Jinping's instructions to the Chinese military and to the entire Chinese government to stockpile food, and particularly grain and wheat. Why? Why is he stockpiling so much food? What is he preparing for? This is what Kyle Bass said. But think about this. In Xi Jinping's last six speeches, he's telling the 90 million Communist Party members

and his people to prepare for war. In fact, he went to the Eastern Military Command the day Janet Yellen landed in China and told them to prepare for war. In fact, he went to the Eastern Military Command the day Janet Yellen landed in China and told them to prepare for war. Eastern Military Command is the command that oversees the relationship or would oversee the war with Taiwan, right? That's their Fujian province. What's important, when you think about Xi's speeches, one of the things he said in his war preparation speeches was we must hold the rice bowl firmly in our hands.

China imports 11.5 million barrels a day of crude oil. They import LNG. They also import 40 percent of their food. What this company is designed to do is to bring Chinese food production internal. Think about this. China has 20 percent of the world's population and at this moment is hoarding almost 70 percent of the world's grain storage. And one of China's grain managers said in November that they have enough wheat to hold them to satisfy Chinese

consumption for a year and a half. China is stockpiling grain. And in the midst of their draconian, inhuman lockdowns for COVID last year, you remember when they were welding their own people in their apartment buildings and people were banging pots and pans in Shanghai? The food reserves of China were never tapped when the people of China were screaming for food. What do you think Xi Jinping is hoarding food for and hoarding grains for? He's hoarding food for world war. That's, that's what he's preparing for. Yeah. Not only is he getting ready domestically for, for, for defense, but he's also, we have our next video is we have a group of Chinese illegals crossing the Texas border. Now they're all, we noted of of military age. So not only is

he stockpiling food, getting ready or getting his country prepared for the worst, but it seems like he's trying to get ahead of the curve. He's moving a Trojan horse into the country. Exactly. Thousands and thousands and thousands of fighting age Chinese males coming across the Mexican border and Beijing. Biden is allowing it to happen. Here is the final segment from the Fox Business News. Maria Bartiromo's interview with Kyle Bass this morning. We also are watching the open border, the southern border. Kyle, the number of Chinese and the number of Chinese nationals apprehended at the border up thirteen hundred percent year over year. What is Xi Jinping doing? Are those people escaping from the CCP or are they being directed to come and set up shop in America and get direction later?

Because I'm told by my border sources that most of those people are military aged men coming in and getting apprehended. Yeah. So I said, you know, I sit on the board of the Texas Department of Public Safety's foundation and I know them. I know our border people well. I've done a number of border missions with them. I've vested up and gone. I spoke with them recently. And since Operation Lone Star began in March of 2021, we've had 5,000 or sorry, 8,600 Chinese military age males apprehended at the Texas border alone. Now, remind you to leave China, you need an exit visa. And this isn't just like migrating from Mexico. You have to come across the world on an airplane. You have to land. You have to pay a human trafficker to traffic you in. Those payments are more than it costs just to land

in America at an American airport. The only reason they're coming in through the border, the way they're coming in, is they don't want to be known. What they do, by the way, when Texas DPS grabs them, they say, we want asylum. When they ask for asylum, Texas has to hand them over to Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol. They are, quote, ask their name. They're asked where they're from. And then they're released. They're all released into America. And imagine, it only took 19 of these people to bring down the World Trade Center. We've let 8,600 that we know of come through Texas alone. What about Arizona? What about California? This is this is something that Congress better start paying attention to.

This has to end. Nearly 13,000 Chinese men have crossed the Mexican border in the United States in the first five months of 2023. This is a military invasion. They're bringing their troops inside this country. And when the war starts, there will be Chinese troops on the ground inside America. I don't know how to get the American people to wake up. They have to snap out of this delusion that they're in that all is well. It's not well. You're being invaded. There's a Chinese army coming across the border because there's a Chinese stooge in the White House.

And the FBI is controlled by the Chinese. The Department of Justice is controlled by the Chinese. The media is controlled by the Chinese. We've been bought off and sold out. And we're in serious trouble. And our only hope is Jesus Christ. The American people are going to have to cry out to God for help. There's no other way out of this mess that we're in.

We're going to have to have a miracle from God to keep this country from falling to the Chinese communists. The next story, I want to turn our attention to the Ukrainian side of World War III. London Times, Lithuania calls for NATO to deploy permanent military force near the Russian border. Yes, and that was Lithuania's president, Gitanas Nusida, has called for NATO to deploy a permanent military force near the Russian border, stating that the underlying treaty with Moscow is dead. Nassida, who is hosting a summit of NATO leaders

in Vilnius, emphasized the need for the West not to be intimidated by President Putin's nuclear threats and urged allies to increase their military spending in response to the very dangerous very fragile situation. The central issue on the table will be the long-term plans to protect NATO's eastern flank from potential Russian aggression by deploying more troops and equipment along the border. So what we now have is a member of NATO saying we want NATO troops permanently on our border facing Russia.

How do you think that's going to go over in Moscow? And not only that, but the Germans are saying that they're going to commit to it. That they're going to commit to some of those armed infantry division, that they're going to make it a permanent establishment because they all consider now that Russia has already violated that deal and that accord is not standing. So in this article from the Times of London it says, this is a quote

from Nesita, with Russia taking active steps to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, and we have all the evidence that this is taking place, we should finally pronounce the NATO-Russia Founding Act dead. Without such a step, it still contaminates thinking in some of the NATO capitals.

It still keeps us in the gray zone of strategic ambivalence. Of course it's dead. You started the war. Of course Russia has ended all pretensions that things could be normal between the West and Russia. Nassir goes on to say, you know, we constantly hear these threats of a russian nuclear attack maybe this is the reason why we have somehow got used to them um you're hearing these attacks because you're hearing these threats because russia is serious they're very serious and we're going to see here today in the response that Russia released today to the NATO meeting and to the use of cluster bombs on a Russian city today. This next one is from the Vasty News Service.

Gavrilov, who's a Russian diplomat, warned Europe about the consequences of escalation around Ukraine. Yes, and it starts off with, in the event of an escalation of the conflict, and this is what Washington's reckless actions are leading to, the Europeans will be the first to deal with possible catastrophic consequences, according to Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control. Go ahead. So as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine, look at this, folks, any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for the Russian military. The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation stated that the NATO countries are playing with fire

by supplying weapons to Ukraine. Lavrov stated that the U.S. and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, including not only the supply of weapons, but also the training of personnel in the UK, Germany, Italy, and other countries. Now, the Kremlin said today that NATO treats it like an enemy. And we've got two quotes. Go ahead, Eddie. Yes, it stated that Russia is perceived by them, the NATO leaders, as an enemy, as an adversary. It is in this vein that the discussions in Vilnius will be conducted. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a regular news briefing.

And he said we are monitoring this very carefully because much of what has been said will be subject to in-depth analysis in order to take measures to ensure our own security. Jerusalem Post, NATO policy increases risk of conflict with Russia, says a Russian diplomat. Yeah, so in that article it says that NATO's policy towards Russia increases the risk of direct conflict between bloc members and Moscow. Russia's RIA news agency cited the Russian ambassador to Belgium, Alexander Tukoviny, as saying on Tuesday. And he said the regional defense plans that NATO intends to adopt at the summit starting on Tuesday would make the bloc's confrontation with Russia more intense and prolonged. So what has happened? What happened at the NATO summit today? Well, it's actually turned out to be a surprise.

Interfax said the Kremlin says the accelerated admission of Ukraine to NATO, potentially dangerous for Europe, but this is not what happened. I'm going to tell you here in just a minute, what was the big buildup that there was going to be a big announcement at the NATO summit. It turned out to be a dud and so much of a dud that Zelensky threw a childish temper tantrum, called the NATO decision absurd. I mean, went on a rant publicly against NATO because he didn't get what he wanted and really acted extremely childish in public. So something happened.

I want to go down to number 52. This is BBC. NATO summit allies refused to give Ukraine time frame on joining. This is what set him off. We heard last week or two. Was it the prime minister of Estonia in that press conference with Jens Stoltenberg? She said, I want to be careful that I don't give away the big surprise. What was the surprise? The surprise was a dud today. Nothing happened. So you have to ask, what has happened in the past 24, 48, 72 hours? What's happened that the NATO leaders backed down and said, we better think twice about this. What message did the Russians send a message through private back channels that said,

if you do this, the fight is on? I don't know. Something changed. But Zelensky did not get his invitation to join NATO today. It was a big deal. Now, number 53, this was Financial Times. Western allies to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16 jets next month. Yeah, the Financial Times has reported that a coalition of 11 Western countries

will begin training Ukrainian pilots in modern U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets next month. The defense ministers of Denmark, Netherlands, and Netherlands, excuse me, said on Tuesday. The training goes on to say in the article that the training will begin in Denmark and a dedicated training center will be formed in Romania for long-term training, the minister said. And then, Eddie, a story that came out of Paris today. France said it would send long range missiles to Ukraine. This is a really important deal. They're sending long range missiles to Ukraine. Long range means missiles that will reach inside Russian territory. That could hit Moscow. That could hit other Russian

cities. So France is in on it now. They're going all the way. And they're telling the Ukrainian military, we're sending you the missiles you need to punch Russia inside their territory. So now this is where we're giving you a blow-by-blow description of World War III. Folks, there's nobody else, there's nobody else on television, radio, or podcasting

giving you a day-to-day account of World War III. There are more people now saying, hey, World War III is coming. No, World War III started over a year and a half ago. We're into it. We're into World War III started over a year and a half ago. We're into it. We're into World War III. And true news is the only source that's telling you every single day how serious it's getting. You know, I've had people in the past, you know, who've said, well, Rick, you can't.

This can't be World War III. There haven't been any nuclear weapons. It's like the nukes are at the end, not the beginning. The nukes are fired at the end of the war. I'm trying to show you where we're headed, how close we are to the nukes going off. So today there was a Ukrainian shelling of a Russian town and they use cluster munitions. This is the Novasti News Service headline. Tokmak was the town that got shelled with cluster bombs. Cluster bombs, compliments of the United States of America. Again, what are cluster bombs? It's a bomb that when it's dropped,

it opens up and a lot of little bomblets come out of it. And each little bomblet explodes when it touches something. But sometimes they don't explode. They just land on the ground and they explode when you pick it up, like when a child picks it up. They're extremely lethal, very, very inhumane. And many nations have called for a worldwide ban of them. But Joe Biden sent cluster bombs to Ukraine. And today, a Russian town was shelled with cluster bombs. So where is this going? We'll take a look at TASS News Agency.

This is General Shugall, who is also the Minister of Defense. And he gave a press conference where he talked about the losses of the armed forces of Russia, I mean, the armed forces of Ukraine, how many troops that they've lost, how many tanks and planes that they've lost. But he also talked about the response of the Russian Federation to the use of cluster bombs today. And this is what he said. He said, Russia has cluster munitions for all occasions. They're much more effective than the American ones, and the range is wider and more diverse. He also went on to say that Moscow, realizing the threat of such ammunition to civilians, refrained and refrains from using them.

If they are delivered to Kiev by the United States, the Russian armed forces will be forced to use similar means of destruction against the Ukrainian military as a response. Now, the Russian armed forces are taking additional measures of organizational and technical nature to protect personnel and equipment from striking elements of cluster munitions. All right, and Dimitri Medvedev had something to say about it. Mr. Medvedev sent out a telegram post on his telegram channel this afternoon. I think it came in at what, around three o'clock, something like that. You were in my office working with me.

And I looked at my phone and I said, this is serious. This is a long message from Dmitry Medvedev. His message was about the NATO meeting and cluster bombs. And basically what he said is, no surprises as far as the Russians are concerned about the NATO meeting. We didn't expect them to give membership to Ukraine,

but we did expect them to send more weapons, send more bombs, more tanks, whatever. But then Mr. Medvedev had a comment about the cluster bombs. So we're going to read through his telegram post. So it starts with preliminary results of the NATO summit, just like we thought. Number one, action plan for Ukraine's membership in the alliance canceled. Kind of take it faster. Number two, call country 404 to NATO, but they will accept. It is not known when and under what conditions, quite possibly never.

And that's what realists in the alliance are afraid to say out loud. Goes on with number three, increase military assistance to the Kiev regime. Everything that is possible, on, he says, And one of them is the refusal of the Kiev Nazi group for membership in NATO, which we insisted on from the very beginning, which is impossible. This means that this group will have to be eliminated, which is possible and necessary. P.S. It was reported that Takhmak was shelled with cluster munitions. So it's time to uncover our arsenals of this inhumane weapon. Eddie, that last message, the PS, what is Mr. Medvedev saying?

Russia is getting ready to use their own cluster munitions. And as if the war wasn't dirty or sad already with the amount of lives that have been lost on both sides, now it's going to get even uglier with the cluster munitions because now they're going to stay there. Those bombs are going to... There's a percentage of them that is defective by nature. They're going to stay in there for years, decades to come.

So it's not only going to be the military at this point that's going to be affected or either side's military, but not only going to be the military at this point that's going to be affected, or either side's military, but it's going to be the civilians living in those areas. You know what we've not seen in this war? We've not seen the Russian Air Force. In limited quantity, yeah. You're about to see old-fashioned World War II bombing runs across Ukraine.

That's what's coming. The Russians are going to bring out their bombers. The bombers are going to be loaded with cluster bombs, and they're going to drop them all over Ukraine. This thing is going to look ugly and nasty and bloody. And is there any end to it? God have mercy on the human race. Let's pray that this thing comes to an end and that this horrible war will just finally end. I'm telling you, my friends, if it continues, there's a calamity coming beyond our comprehension. We need Jesus.

Folks, we need Jesus. He's coming back. He's coming back. If you haven't read this book, Final Day, the 10 characteristics of the second coming of Jesus Christ,

you can get it at Amazon. The print version, the audio, and the e-book are available at Amazon. Get a copy, read it, get a copy for somebody else. Send it as a gift to somebody. Send the audio book as a gift to somebody. Just get this into people's hands and tell them, we're really close. We're really, really close to the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ. You need to get ready. You need to be prepared. World War III has started. God have mercy on all of us. Continue to pray for Dr. Burkhart. he's doing okay. He told me today, he said that he was black and blue and very bruised

and sore, and his head hurts a lot. And he said, whatever fight I had in the shower, I lost it. So he still got his sense of humor. But he had a couple of doctor's appointments today, and he's not ready to come back yet. So continue to pray for Doc that he recovers. I've got to run out of here really, really fast and drive like a banji to get to my house because we have a 7 p.m. Zoom call coming up very, very soon. And I'm very, very late. So if you're on that Zoom call, it may start without me. Okay, but I'll be there soon. Love you. See you tomorrow. God bless.
