TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - House Investigators Say Bidens May Have Accepted up To $30 Million in Foreign Payments

Episode Date: June 16, 2023

The House Oversight Committee chairman is laying out more details to support his assertion that members of former Vice President Joe Biden’s family, including son Hunter, accepted millions of dollars in payments from foreign entities. The new bank records cited in the GOP memo, which is based on subpoenaed data, reportedly include transactions from Romania and China. The Republicans say they show a pattern of “influence peddling” that coincides with anti-corruption speeches and meetings Biden took part in while vice president, particularly with the Romanian government and its leadership. The estimated amount of money collected by the Bidens has skyrocketed. House investigators are now saying it could be as much as $30 million. Let’s look at this headline from Summit News.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help us God. The House Oversight Committee chairman, Mr. Comer, is laying out more details to support his assertion that members of former Vice President Joe Biden's family, including his son Hunter, accepted millions of dollars in payments from foreign entities. New bank records cited in GOP memos based on subpoenaed data,

reportedly include transactions from Romania and China. The Republicans say that they show a pattern of influence peddling that coincides with anti-corruption speeches and meetings that Mr. Biden took part in while vice president under Barack Obama, particularly with the Romanianian government and its leadership now listen to this the estimated amount of money collected by the bidens has skyrocketed house investigators are now saying it could be as much as 30 million dollars let's look at this headline from Summit News. House Oversight Chairman says there is evidence of 20 to 30 million dollars of illegal payments to the Bidens. Doc, this number is climbing.

And I don't think 30 million comes close to what... And Mr. Comer said in this, he says, we haven't even started to look at the bank records of Joe Biden's brother. James. Yes. And he's involved in some mega projects around the world. So this is going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

So this number now is starting to increase. We were looking at millions a few weeks ago, 5 million to Hunter Biden. Then earlier this week, another 5 million to Joe Biden. And now Representative Comer is saying somewhere in the $30 million range. He appeared on the Fox Business News Channel with Maria Bartiromo, Mornings with Maria. And this is where he made this bombshell announcement that they're looking at up to $30 million in payments. Let's watch. If this is all true about a sitting president when he was vice president, influence peddling, accepting money from foreign nationals so that he could turn around and make changes in policy for America so he could pocket the money.

If that's true, why isn't he impeached already? And if it's true that the FBI is doing nothing about it, why isn't Christopher Wray on his heels as well? Those are great questions I ask every day. Look, Christopher Ray has no control over the FBI. One thing that I've learned from dealing with Grassley's whistleblowers is that this is an organization in disarray. No one has confidence in leadership at the top. You have bureaucrats, deep state bureaucrats who are running the show. They're partisan. They want to get Donald Trump.

They don't care what Joe Biden does because Joe Biden can be controlled. So we have issues with the FBI, but my investigation is about following the money. We're going to continue to follow the money. And Maria, I can assure you there's more money that we're going to be able to identify that was transferred between foreign nationals in other countries and the Biden family. This is going to be hard for Joe Biden to explain, and it's not going to go away. This is going to be an issue. And I think eventually the mainstream media will turn on Joe Biden and start asking the real questions. What did your family do to receive all this money? What number are you up to now? How much have you identified of the money he's taken in from foreign?

We have more bank. We have more bank records coming in. But but we're going to exceed 10 million this week. And I think we'll get up between 20 and 30 million dollars. Doc, he said that FBI Director Rayray has no control over the FBI. I don't believe that. I just don't buy that. You're telling me the director of the FBI can't order an investigation into Hunter Biden? Can't?

I mean, the director of the FBI has allowed that Hunter Biden laptop to be hidden inside the agency for what? How many years now? Five years? Yes. Well, the FBI director at first said that there didn't exist the form 1023, denied that it existed. And then when Senator Grassley started reading from the actual document itself, Ray had to back down on that. And so it's, you know... He's participating in the cover-up. Right. But, you know, Mr. Comer is giving Mr. Ray

too much grace. He's, you know, saying, well, the FBI director, he's lost control of the agency. No, he's in full control. I have the opposite view. He's in full control of the agency. He's carrying out his instructions.

And God bless Representative Comer for his efforts in all of this. If the Republicans really believed that Christopher Wray and the FBI were in complete disarray, then they would be calling every day for the impeachment of the FBI director, every single day. And they'd be crying it in the streets. But you're not hearing that. You hear some outliers saying that. But it's almost like the Republicans say, well, let's see if we can't just work this out and get everything. They don't have any teeth. They don't have any teeth. They don't have any backbone.

They have no claws. The House Republicans backed down on passing a resolution to censor Adam Schiff. Yes. 20 Republicans would not vote for it. And censoring is light. He should be expelled from the House. But they couldn't even get 20 Republicans to censor him. Well, I'm just wondering, what is the dollar amount that we have to reach before everybody starts getting upset with the Biden crime family?

Is it $50 million? Is it $100 million? Is it $500 million? What is the number that we need to reach for something to finally crack in the story? The standards of political corruption have changed. Of course, unless you're a Republican. I noticed today, Doc, Joe Scarborough is trying to shift the narrative on the story about President Trump and the records. He is saying on MSNBC, the real reason Donald Trump had those records is that he was selling them to foreign governments. Joe Scarborough is saying that to take the attention away from Joe Biden.

He knows that Donald Trump didn't sell those records, but he's saying it to get people thinking that it happened and then not talk about Joe Biden collecting $30 million, maybe more, while he was vice president. I still want to know where the money's at. Where is the money deposited? What bank is holding this money? Are these banks in the United States? Is the money in foreign accounts? Well, one of the Burisma executives said that one of the struggles he had in transferring money to the Bidensons, there were literally dozens of banks that they had to deal with. And it was a struggle to have to juggle all these different accounts and payments in order to route them in different directions. It wasn't like they were handed a $5 million check. Yeah, we have. And let's go down. This is guys in the control room. Let's jump down to number eight.

What Doc is talking about is right there. This is a Daily Mail article. Will Hunter Biden's business partner dish on the Burisma bribe? Devin Archer is cooperating with Republicans over alleged $10 million payment to the first family. Right. The Daily Mail is reporting that Devin Archer, business partner of Hunter Biden's, is cooperating with House Republicans who are investigating an alleged $10 million bribery payment from Ukrainian gas company executive to Joe and Hunter Biden. Now, Archer's testimony is considered crucial to the investigation because of his deep ties to the Biden family's business deals, including in Ukraine. The investigation is based on an internal FBI FD 1023 form that outlines an alleged $10 million total arrangement for an exchange of money for policy decisions with a Burisma Holdings Limited executive.

Now, a couple of highlights from that particular report from the Daily Mail. During President Biden's time as vice president, there were 20 companies affiliated with family members created intentionally with a complicated corporate structure, the memo states. Hunter Biden and his associates, including Rob Walker, formed at least 15 of those companies after Biden took the office as vice president in 2009. Now, several of those entities we've talked about here on True News in the past, a Wasco PC, which Hunter owned, Hudson West 3 LLC, Robinson Walker LLC, and Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC accepted funds from foreign companies ranging anywhere from $5,000 to $3 million, the company said. And add to that that each one of these companies had multiple banks that they dealt with, depending on

what region of the world they were in. Banks in Ukraine, banks in Romania, banks in China, and of course, banks here in the U.S. The only operation, the only business that the Bidens are in is in the business of influence penalty and routing money around from one person's hands to another. That's it. That's their only business. It's their expertise. Well, Hunter Biden had to show up at an Arkansas court trial. This is another Daily Mail article. Hunter Biden finally answers questions about his shady finances in Arkansas as baby's mama, London Roberts, surprises the first son by showing up to hear him be deposed in a battle over child support. So according to the Daily Mail, Hunter Biden was deposed in a child paternity case by his

former lover, London Roberts, in Arkansas Now, that case centers around child support payments for now their four-year-old daughter, and Roberts' attorneys are expected to question Hunter about his earnings from business deals in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere. Now, Hunter has previously settled the case with Roberts back in 2019, but he reopened it last year, claiming a substantial change in income. Roberts has requested Hunter to be jailed for six months for failing to disclose his wealth. Some highlights from that particular story. London has every right to be there, but it is highly unusual, a source told Daily Mail.

Attending Hunter's deposition would have been a strategic choice, perhaps a head game, and why not? It's harder for most people to be untruthful about a person in their presence. This face-to-face showdown comes after Roberts petitioned Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer to toss Hunter in jail for six months for failing to come clean about his wealth. Judge Meyer has yet to rule on that contempt accusation. In round one of their four-year suit, Hunter claimed he was unemployed and had no monthly income, despite living in a $12,000 per month Hollywood rental and driving a Porsche. But when ordered to produce his financial records, he repeatedly failed to do so before agreeing to a 2019 settlement that has seen him pay Roberts more than $750,000 already to date. And so what happened here

is Hunter Biden actually reopened this case. They could have just gone along the way they have been doing, but last year he reopened the case asking for a reduction in the amount that he was paying. Because the bribe money has dried up. That's right. But now this has opened the door for a full disclosure now of all sources of income, past and present. And that's why the foot in the door is in there, so to speak, perhaps to see what the finances are for Ukraine and China and Romania. So it might've been something they'll come back and bite him at some point. You know, I was just thinking before we move on, I was just thinking, Doc, the source, the whistleblower, the Burisma Energy executive who said that he had recordings

of, what was it, 17? 17. 15 with Hunter Biden and two with Joe Biden. Conversations about the money. Mr. Comer admitted today that investigators have not had any contact with this man for several years. There's a war going on in Ukraine. What are the odds that man's still breathing? I would say if he is, they're getting less and less every day. I mean, that man could easily disappear. And the official excuse would be, it's a war. He's a casualty of war. Right.

Stuff happens. But nobody, I don't know if anybody knows where the man's at. But they don't, they can't, at the present time, produce him as a witness. Right. But apparently the FBI never went to see him. Sat on it for years. Didn't have time to go. The FBI's too busy going to school board meetings.

Right, or infiltrating... Catholic schools and Catholic churches. Rick, there's a new candidate for president now, a Republican candidate for president. It's Miami Mayor Francis Flores. Yes. He's actually the part-time mayor of Miami. He works half a day. I think a lot of mayors should work half a day.

I like him. I like him as a mayor, and he's very pro-cryptocurrency. Right. We actually met him. You did. That's right. At the crypto conference that we went to several years ago. I think you interviewed him.

He gave us an interview. Yes, we did. We interviewed him and also the mayor of Fort Lauderdale, too. But he has decided to enter the race. And so he's a significant voice in the Latino community. Today on Mornings with Maria, Maria Bartiromo had the opportunity to interview outspoken CEO of Goya Foods. You see Goya Foods on the shelves in your local grocery store. Great food, great company. Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanwe. I hope I got that name right. And he joined to talk about

Suarez's entrance into the race, but more importantly, the impact the Latino vote is going to have as we move forward to the 2024 election. What I like about Unanwe is he is an outspoken believer. What I heard him saying, because I heard it this morning driving in, I heard stuff about politics. What I heard him saying was, we need a divine intervention. Right, and he brings that out. We need God intervening in this country. Yes.

That's what I was hearing. And it was a very positive, encouraging interview. We've got a video clip from that Fox Business interview today on Maria Bartiromo's program. Here it is. Joining me right now is Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanway. Bob, great to see you. Thanks very much for being here. Great to be with you, Maria. You're the best.

Thank you. From a business standpoint, how are you looking at the 2024 election? I mean, during the 2022 midterms, we saw a slight shift among Latinos voting Republican. But analysts from Voto Latino show Democrats are still with the overall advantage. What's your take on how this plays out for 24? As a CEO businessman, you know, what's happened in the last two years is a complete disaster. We've unraveled all the gains that were made. But I'm more here today as a Latino than as a business person. And when things get bad, we need an intervention. We need an intervention bad, or otherwise we're

going to lose this country, our morality. A few years ago, actually, it was July 9th, 2020, I was at the White House and I said we were blessed. That word blessed came onto my lips by the Holy Spirit. And we are in a spiritual war. But this intervention is going to take place with the Holy Spirit. The Latinos, which will be the biggest group in this country by 2050 or by next week with this open border, hold the values of God, family, life, work. We are attacked. They've left countries with communism, with oppression, where there's no freedom of speech. Only define that happening here. We're in a country where we're attacking

the children. Our children are under attack. And we need to value—and Donald Trump is the person who we are blessed with and who will lead this country closer to God. I know that because I've talked to so many people. I believe the Holy Spirit is speaking through us. The other day in Miami and Versailles, they prayed on President Trump that this country will not turn over to communism, where the Cubans know all about that, the Venezuelans know all about that. And I believe that Donald J. Trump will be the person, is the person that the Holy Spirit has designated as the person that lead this country closer to God and hold on to the values that the Latinos hold on to. And that they are going to, I believe, swing this vote for the 24th.

If not, we're done. Very interesting. Yes. I didn't realize just how strong a believer he was. I mean, I didn't know it until this morning. So. Very encouraged by it. But you know what I was thinking about, Doc?

Several months ago, I said on this program, I spoke, looked at the camera and I spoke directly to the Latinos and Hispanics in America. And I said, we, the descendants of European settlers, we need your help. We're trying to hold on to this country. And now we need the help of the Latinos and Hispanics. The anti-God forces are ripping the country apart. And the Latinos and Hispanics love God. They love Jesus Christ. And we need to come together

and we can fight and repel this onslaught of hell. And I'm hopeful it would happen. And so when I heard his remarks today, it was very encouraging. Hey, I want to say to you right now, there's a possibility that we may lose power here. There's a very strong thunderstorm taking place right now, there's a possibility that we may lose power here. There's a very strong thunderstorm taking place right now, and our emergency power has kicked on. So if we go out,

that's what happened. We'll just end Friday quickly, all right? But we'll keep talking as long as the lights are on. Robert F. Kennedy appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience and talked about the assassination of his uncle, John F. Kennedy, and he also talked about the military-industrial complex. Here's a short clip from the Rogan interview of Robert Kennedy. My uncle, John Kennedy, did that. He refused to go to war. So he was surrounded by military-industrial conflicts, and he learned very early in an intelligence apparatus that he realized early on that the purpose of the CIA and the intelligence apparatus was to create a constant pipeline of new wars for the military-industrial complex. Three days before he took the oath of office, Eisenhower, who was the outgoing president, gave what is probably the most important speech in American history, which was where he warned against the military-industrial complex.

I was at my uncle's inauguration. I was in Washington that day as a six-year-old boy, and I was sitting on the stands behind him in front of him during his inauguration. And he understood that. And two months later, the military and intelligence came to him and said, we got to invade Cuba. And he was like, I'm not going to Cuba and I'm not going to let the military. And they said, well, we got all these Cubans trained and they're going to go attack Castro. And he said, well, we can't. The U.S. government can't be doing that.

We can't be attacking. I don't like what Castro is doing down there, but it's not the United States' job to dictate what kind of governments other countries have. And they said, well, as soon as they land, there's going to be a big revolution. Everybody's going to rise up and they're going to overthrow Castro. And he said, well, you can't use the U.S. military. And they ended up bringing those guys over with United Fruit boats. And in the middle of it, in the night, they came to him and said, they're getting wiped out on the beach and you need to send in the military and invade. And he said, we're not going to do it. And he stepped out of that meeting and he realized they had been lying to him and

trying to trick him. And he said, I want to take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds. And then, you know, for the next thousand days of his presidency, he was at war with his military and intelligence apparatus. They tried to get him to go into Laos. He said no. They tried to get him to go into Vietnam with combat troops. They said that we need 250,000 combat troops. He refused. Everybody around him wanted him to go into Vietnam. He sent 16,000 military advisors as fewer people than he sent to get James Meredith into Ole Miss in Jackson, Mississippi to get one black man into school. He sent fewer to Vietnam. They weren't allowed to fight.

Many of them did. They both violated the rules of engagement. In October of 1963, he heard that some of his Green Berets had been killed over there. And he said, I want a total casualty list from Vietnam. And his aide came to him and said, 75 Americans have died. He said that's too many

and he signed that day a national security order ordering all troops out of Vietnam, U.S. troops, the first thousand over the next month and then the rest by the beginning of 1965 and then a month later he was killed. Kind of sounds like what Donald Trump has dealt with, hasn't it? Yes. I mean, they've done everything but shoot Donald Trump. I mean, they've assassinated his character. Of course, sometimes he provides them the ammunition for it too but the fact of the matter is i don't think donald trump was supposed to win

the election that wasn't the plan somehow you know the deep state messed up at some point that they didn't work out the uh the uh right uh voting machines or the right ballots didn't get the right place because they couldn't imagine a scenario where Donald Trump would actually win, beat Hillary Clinton. But then he did win. But they fought him from that day forward and to this day. And now they're determined to utterly destroy him, that he would never rise again. It's a hatred, a hatred for Donald Trump. And regardless of what you think about him, you can't deny that the deep state of this country despises Donald Trump. Yes. And are determined to destroy him, just like some powerful entity

destroyed John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. I got to tell you, my dream ticket for 2024 would be a third party. It would be Robert Kennedy for president and Tucker Carlson for vice president. Kennedy-Carlson ticket. How would that play? That would be an interesting ticket. Someone that can draw 80, 100 million viewers a night on Twitter? Mm-hmm. can draw 80, 100 million viewers a night on Twitter. I mean, that says a lot about Tucker's influence out there. It sure does. Hey, you told me just before we started the program today that

President Biden made another, he had another senior moment today. Where did this one happen? He was speaking in Connecticut. I forget what the event was. This comes on the heels of yesterday where he made the remark that they're going to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way to the Indian Ocean. But today, in his closing remarks at the event in Connecticut,

he had a strange comment. Let's watch it, and then we'll talk about it. All right. God save the queen, man. God save the queen. Yes. Where is he? Well, did he even know? And then an aide runs in to grab him. Hurry, get him. Before he starts shaking hands with the air. But God saved the queen.

I mean, why? I'm telling you something. Was it a Freudian slip? Did he just tell us? Look, I suspected for a long time that Barack Obama was an agent for the monarchy. I really did. I mean, he was born in Kenya. Kenya was under the British crown at that time.

Maybe Biden works for the crown. You know, that would explain the Russian response to Obama when he visited. Remember? Because there's a big clash always. When he was a senator. Right. And between Russia

and the UK, it goes back centuries. And maybe the Russians knew that he was an agent of the crown. So it's fun to think about these things. Well, Joe Biden doesn't know what country he's in. Well, speaking of former President Obama, he is back in the news today. This is a story from Fox News. President Obama suggests digital fingerprints to counter misinformation so we know

what's true and what's not true. Now, what it means is so we know who posted the information on the Internet. Right. You will have your own digital fingerprints for everything you do on the Internet. That's what Obama's wanted. He wanted that imposed when he was in the White House. He wanted everybody to log on to the Internet with a government issued digital I.D. That you could not go on the Internet without your I.D. It's eventually going to get there. I mean, we know we're going to arrive at that point. But speaking about misinformation, referring to misinformation, President Obama said, the technology is here now. So most immediately,

we're going to have all the problems we had with misinformation before. But this next election cycle will be worse. He then suggested digital fingerprints to discern truth from misinformation. He goes on to say, and the need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true. And here's the problem, though. Who's going to determine that truth?

Obama. Who is going to be the arbiter of truth? Obama and his his crowd, just like Biden had appointed a what was it, you know, a truth czar. Right. That that position didn't last very long. But no, they want themselves. They believe that only their point of view can be heard. No other point of view has any merit. It's their way or no way. And if you want to be a journalist or a commentator on the news, you're going to have to get registered with the government and get approved. Yes.

And get a license, if you will, to have to get registered with the government and get approved yes because and get a license if you will to say the truth well or propaganda as the case may be and then your license will be taken away if you publish something that the government says it's not factual right and you have that going on in countries now but we're the we're supposed to be the free country. We have a Bill of Rights, but they are chipping away at our liberties and our rights. And if we let them get away with it, we'll never get it back. There won't be freedom anywhere in the world for a century or two, Doc. At the pace that we're going worldwide, freedom would disappear.

And that's what they want. They want to eliminate freedom and liberty. This next story, we're going to do some World War III news. And this is from Messenger News. The United States is preparing evacuation plans for all American citizens living in Taiwan. My son Jeremy told me about this last night.

And he said, Dad, I haven't heard you talk about the evacuation plans. And I'm doing a double look at him. What evacuation plans? He goes, the Biden administration has plans to evacuate taiwan the americans living there so when i when i got home last night i looked it up to see what he was talking about there's not a lot of stories out there about it there's only like two or three websites that have mentioned anything about it and And this is the one that broke the story. So according to the messenger, Messenger News, the U.S. is reportedly making evacuation

plans for American citizens in Taiwan amid rising tensions with China. Now, the plans are said to be in response to China's increasing military activity near Taiwan, which the U.S. sees as a potential threat to its citizens in the region. Now, the report states that the U.S. sees as a potential threat to its citizens in the region. Now, the report states that the U.S. government has not made a final decision on whether to carry out the evacuation, but is preparing for the possibility. Now, the situation remains tense as China continues to assert its territorial claims over Taiwan. Now, planning for an evacuation from Taiwan is a very prudent thing to do, said Mark Cantillon, a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who has run Taiwan war games and was involved in the 1975 evacuation of Americans from Saigon. But he added that these are only contingency plans.

He said the fact that the U.S. is doing this doesn't mean that they expect there will be a war. It's only a statement that there could be a war. Now, General State Department guidance urges citizens abroad to use commercial transport to leave ahead of a crisis, but that's not always possible, and certainly not in the event of a surprise assault. Once the shooting starts, it's very, very difficult,

Cancion said. He pointed to the challenge of maintaining safe corridors for evacuations and humanitarian aid in Ukraine as an example. So in Taiwan, the main airports are on the island's China-facing west coast and might well be under attack in the event of an evasion. Chartered vessels might be sent in place of commercial planes, but again, war would render that option difficult, if not impossible. It goes on to say, imagine a D-Day invasion and then a third country, Switzerland or something like that, wants to send a cruise ship through the U.S. fleet into Normandy to pick up its citizens, Cancion said. So the challenge, of course, is when the shooting starts,

how do you get your people out at that point? Well, based on the track record of the Biden administration, they'll just leave them there. They'll leave them there like they did the Americans in Afghanistan. So if you're an American living in Taiwan, you might want to have your own plan to get out. Don't count on Biden. Or just go ahead and get out.

Anthony Blinken is meeting with top Chinese officials, but not Xi Jinping. Yes. It's really an intersecretary of state. I guess he's in Beijing now. Yes. It's really an intersecretary of state. I guess he's in Beijing now. Yes. But there's really no... I couldn't find any announcement of who he was meeting with. Not even the Chinese foreign minister, which would be his equal, his counterpart.

It's just his Chinese officials. So keep that in mind and then i want you to look at this next story from the financial times xi jinping meets his old friend bill gates so the u.s secretary of state can't get a meeting with xi jinping he apparently can't get a meeting with Xi Jinping. He apparently can't get a meeting with the foreign minister of China. But Bill Gates flies into Beijing and goes straight to the top and meets his old buddy, Xi Jinping. That's right. So Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist,

Bill Gates, met Xi Jinping on Friday in one of the first contacts between a high-profile U.S. business figure and China's president in recent years amid rising geopolitical tensions. Now, the meeting in which Xi referred to Gates as an old friend came ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's expected visit to Beijing this weekend, which was initially postponed in February by a dispute over a suspected Chinese spy balloon. Now, Gates wrote on Twitter that he planned to visit partners of his charity, the Bill

and Melinda Gates Foundation, with whom he had been working on global health and development challenges for more than 15 years. But I think it says a lot uh the optics really speak to this that the secretary of state of the of the united states cannot get an audience with xi jinping but bill gates can right it says about says a lot about the weakness of the secretary of state and the strength of Bill Gates. Right. Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag published on their Substack

blog today this, well they published a couple days ago, this story about Wuhan. The first people sickened by COVID-19 were Chinese scientists working inside the Wuhan Institute. And so if this is accurate, Doc, then what it means is that the one that they refer to as patient zero.

Right. And actually they said there were three patient zeros. It was not at a meat market with bats. It was inside the lab that Anthony Fauci funded with tax dollars from the United States of America. And this information is coming, by the way, Schellenberger and Tybee, you might recognize their names. They were involved in the Twitter files and so on. The expose was there so after years of official pronouncements to the contrary significant new evidence has emerged that strengthens the case that the covid virus accidentally escaped from the wuhan institute of virology now if you would have said that even a year ago that would have been

considered fake news or uh you know, a conspiracy theory. Two years ago, it would get you deplatformed. Right. So more than three years after the pandemic's outbreak, many around the world had given up on learning the origin of COVID, the highly infectious respiratory virus that has killed millions, and the response to which shut down businesses and schools, upended societies, and caused enormous collateral damage. Public officials in the U.S. and other countries have repeatedly suggested that uncovering the pandemic's origin may not be possible. We may never know, said Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Now, answers

increasingly look within reach. Sources within the U.S. government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with COVID were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. They name them. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus. Now, as such, not only do we know that there were Wuhan scientists who had developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November of 2019, but that they were also working with the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2 and inserting gain-of-function features used to it. Now, so what they're saying is they were weaponizing COVID with this. Now, when a source was asked how certain they were that these were the identities of the three Wuhan scientists

who had developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the fall of 2019, we were told 100%. That's the reporting by Schellenberger and Taibbi and Gutentag. And notice, Doc, this is the fall of 2019. Yes. Not the winter or spring of 2020. Right.

When the general public was told about COVID. They were sick in the fall of the preceding year. And you and I made a trip to Singapore. Right. In November. Yes, November of 2019. And I flew on China Airlines. And I had a five-hour layover in the Shanghai airport.

Right. And I came home so sick. I was really sick for a long time. And looking back, we now know that this virus was loose in China in the fall of 2019. You know, we went there for the Singapore FinTech Summit, and they haven't had one, but now they're having one this year. So they haven't had one since the outbreak. Since 2019? Yeah. So, yes.

And, you know, very close to where we stayed in Singapore was one of the first outbreaks outside of China. And so it was an eye-opener there. That's right. The airport hotel. That was one of the first outbreaks outside of China. We stayed in the airport hotel the night before we flew out

and that was the first outbreak outside of China. The first one they could admit to, I guess. Anyway, if you want to know more about that uh schellenberger and taibi and guten tag they have a substack blog at public.substack they and they go into deep detail on this so i would encourage you if you want to know more to check that out, so the next one, Mr. Putin gave a speech today at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which Doc and I attended in 2018. Yes. So we were there in that same conference center. And by the way, what I read today is that the Russian and Russian security services cut off all the Internet and phone connectivity. Well, the wireless, the wireless around. Yes.

In the mobile connectivity at that conference to prevent the Ukrainians from flying drones. Yes. And striking the building. You see the headline and the first word is blurred. That's what Mr. Putin said about the United States. That's right. You want to guess what he said? Just fill in the blank. And so according to Ria Novosti,

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Russia will not reduce its nuclear arsenal despite NATO's desire for disarmament. Putin made the comments during a plenary session at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, where he also criticized NATO's constant provocations and stated that Russia would use nuclear weapons if necessary to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty. Mr. Putin also touched on the topic of nuclear weapons in Belarus, stating that it serves as a deterrent against those who seek to inflict strategic damage on Russia. So this is the quote he spoke. Now, just once again, this isn't a bar room crowd or anything that shows up for these events these are diplomats these are ceos these are ambassadors this is the elite of

the elite that come to this they call it the russian uh davos right and so this is the actual quote we have so much more we have, we have more such weapons than the NATO countries. They know about it and all the time they persuade us to start negotiations on reduction. F them, you know, as our people say. In other words, there is no intention of Russia reducing its forces at all. According to him, Western countries are constantly provoking Moscow to take tough actions and expect it to start pressing buttons. He said, there is no such need because the enemy on the front line is not successful. And realizing that success is unlikely, we are provoked to some tough actions in the hope of later pointing a finger and saying, well,

look how vicious they are, how cruel, and they cannot be dealt with, and all our partners should be pointed out to this. And that's who he's speaking to at the economic forum, partners for Russia. Now, the Russian leader also touched upon the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus, as we mentioned in the open here. He noted it's an element of deterrence so that everyone who is thinking about inflicting a strategic defeat on us should not forget about this circumstance. The head of state summed up. In other words, he's saying if you're thinking, even considering about doing anything dirty and low down, we'll defend our territory. We will defend our sovereignty. We'll defend our territory. We will defend our sovereignty.

We'll defend our existence. Doc, during his speech before the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which again is a national, it's actually an international gathering of business, academic, government leaders, scientists, and so forth. And it lasts, it's a several days conference. During his speech, he showed a World War II video.

He wanted to remind the Russian people of what the Nazis did in Ukraine. And we're not going to show you the entire video. It's in Russian. There's no English subtitles. But I want you to see it. And I want you to see the facial expressions of the people sitting in the audience watching the video. Because what Mr. Putin was saying to them is, this is why we're fighting in Ukraine. This is what the Nazis did to our people in the 1940s.

We can't let this happen again. The Nazis are back, and NATO is arming the Nazis, and we have to fight for our survival. Let's not forget that tens of millions of Russians died in World War II at the hands of the Nazis. Let's watch this video. Если есть, Дима, слышишь меня, поставь, пожалуйста. Сентябрь 1941. Урочище Бабий Яр на окраине Киева. За два дня там были расстреляны 30 тысяч евреев. К расправе эсэсовцы активно привлекали бойцов из Организации Украинских Националистов, ОУН. Особую роль в этих убийствах сыграл Буковинский Куэль.

Затем из этих отморозков фашисты сформировали так называемую вспомогательную полицию. 115 и 118 батальоны. Полицаи расправлялись с местным населением, охраняли концлагеря, исполняли другую грязную работу. В 1942-м украинские националисты орудовали уже в Белоруссии. Символом их ужасных преступлений стала расправа в деревне Хаты. Тогда украинские полицаи из того же 118-го батальона согнали 179 жителей деревни в сарай и заживо сожгли всех. Стариков, женщин, детей. Рвавшихся из огня расстреливали из пулемета. К концу войны в Белоруссии оставалось более 10 тысяч бандеровцев и советская власть выкуривала их из белорусских лесов вплоть до 1952 года. Должна была стать этнически чистым государством, построенным по принципу. Одна нация, одна партия и один вождь.

30 июня 1941 года на центральной площади Львова лидер ОУН Степан Бандера провозгласил создание новой незалежной Украины. В акте независимости Бандера писал. Украинское государство будет тесно сотрудничать с Великой Германией под руководством Адольфа Гитлера, создающий новый порядок в Европе и помогающий украинскому народу освободиться от московской оккупации». В тот же день во Львове началась резня польской интеллигенции и еврейские погромы. Самой кровавой датой в истории Волынской резни стала 11 июля 1943 года. На 176 населенных пунктов. Даже на фоне кровавых событий Второй мировой войны,

извращенная жестокость и садизм бандеровцев по отношению к беззащитным людям до сих пор шокируют исследователи. Женщинам вспарывали животы и заливали туда кипяток. Грудных младенцев прибивали ножом к столам, and they pierced their eyes. If they're thinking if NATO comes into Russia, this is what is going to happen. Total destruction again. That's what they're thinking. They're realizing we've got to fight again for survival. And in the last time this happened in World War II, tens of millions of our citizens died.

Tens of millions. Yes. Russia paid the biggest price in World War II. tens of millions of our citizens died. Tens of millions. Yes. Russia paid the biggest price in World War II. Really, they did. They lost millions of people. We don't really know the real number. But yeah, this is... I think President Putin did this as a

shock and a wake-up call. But not only were Russians there at that meeting, we're talking about people throughout the alliance countries with Russia right now, leaders of Kazakhstan. You'll have the Saudis there. You'll have everybody there. And so President Putin's making it clear, this is what the Nazis did before.

We're telling you the Nazis are back. Yes. And they're at work, and they're being funded by the Nazis did before. We're telling you the Nazis are back. Yes. And they're at work and they're being funded by the West. Yes. And he's preparing the Russian people for an all-out war with NATO. That's the bottom line. Right. He's psychologically getting the people ready for an all-out war with the west

because he truly believes that nato is is planning to destroy russia so that's what happened today uh in in saint petersburg um now sergey lav the foreign minister, made a comment today. Russia will give a military technical response to the appearance of F-16 aircraft. So now in this headline, it says Lavrov announced the U.S. DeMarc because of plans to supply Ukraine with F-16 aircraft. So I had to look up DeMarc. Like, what is

a DeMarc? And it's a diplomatic term that means we're sending you an official notice notice that you have violated a treaty or an international law or something but we're putting it in writing it's enough it's an official notice the one thing that we notice that we've noticed talk Doc, about the Russians

is that they're meticulous about adhering to international laws, treaties. They do it meticulously. And they do the paperwork. They do the paperwork. And so what Lavrov said today was, okay, the

U.S. is sending F-16 aircraft to Ukraine. This is a violation of whatever understanding treaty, international agreement. And here's going to be our response to this. We're going to send to America a demarc, an official letter. The official letter is going to say, we're going to blow up your F-16s. That's right. So Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that Russia will respond militarily

if Ukraine acquires F-16 fighter jets. Mr. Lavrov claimed that F-16s could be equipped with nuclear weapons, which would pose a threat to Russia's national security. And this is a report followed by Izvestia News. Minister Lavrov stated that Russia has already made a serious diplomatic remark regarding the issue and that the situation would require a military technical response if F-16s were to fly over Ukraine. Now, the U.S. and its allies are currently discussing whether to supply F-16s to Ukraine, with some countries expressing a willingness to provide training for Ukrainian pilots. Now, he said, and this is his quote,

now there's talk about F-16 aircraft, which can really be equipped to carry nuclear weapons. We have spoken about it publicly, and within the framework of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, there is such a nuclear five. Experts meet periodically. We made a very serious remark there. Mr. Lavrov said

to the RT. What that simply means is that he has talked to, he has sent this information to all the five nuclear powers. On the UN Security Council. And making it very clear that if you put F-16s here, we consider that a nuclear threat. That's what it really means. It's significant.

The letter was sent to all the nations that have nuclear weapons. Right. That's very significant, Doc. He didn't send it to, you know, to Uruguay or Panama. He sent it to the nations that have nuclear weapons. They're very serious that they're very concerned that the F-16s could be loaded with nuclear warheads. Right. Do you remember months ago there was a I don't remember which Eastern European leader said that there's a possibility because because it's going to take so long to train pilots, Ukrainian pilots.

There's a possibility that they could be NATO pilots wearing Ukrainian uniforms, flying the missions. And I think this is what the Russians are concerned about. He's got one more sentence in here and this is important. Right. So he said, the military is in charge. They know what to do. The F-16 is a military technical product. So if we see that these planes flew over Ukraine and pose a threat to us, of course, there will also be a military technical response.

And, you know, what we've also observed with Russia over this past year, and, wow, it's a year and a half nearly now, is that Russia has never chosen to escalate. They've only responded to what they've observed. If Ukraine gets tanks, Russia sends more tanks. If Ukraine uses drones, you see Russia respond with drones. Now, Mr. Lavrov is saying, if we see F-16s fly over Ukraine, you're going to get a response to an F-16. We're going to take it out because that is a direct threat to us. Now, we know that the infrastructure in Ukraine is a bit of a challenge for F-16s because airfields are a mess.

They don't have flight crews. F-16 has a flight crew of anywhere from 20 to 25 people, and the Ukrainians don't have people trained to support even one F-16 right now. So is the plan to have these F-16s taking off from Polish air bases? Probably. And because he said in Ukrainian airspace, I mean, not taking off from Ukrainian airfields. At that point, will it be a direct threat from NATO?

And of course, they tiptoe around all this issue all the time. Hey, we got one more story from Russia. Jerusalem Post, Russia's Putin attacks the Jewish heritage of Ukraine Zelensky. Yes, this is another one of the remarks he made at the St. Petersburg Forum. Jerusalem Post says that Russian President Vladimir Putin made controversial remarks about Ukrainian President Zelensky's Jewish heritage during the Economic Forum event currently underway in St. Petersburg. President Putin alleged that some Jews consider Zelensky a disgrace to their faith. Now, Zelensky was born to Jewish parents and has become

one of the most influential Jewish people in the world since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Jewish leaders in Ukraine and Israel have criticized Mr. Putin's comments, calling them anti-Semitic and a KGB-style provocation. Mr. Putin at the forum said this, I have many Jewish friends. They say Zelensky is not a Jew. He is a disgrace to the Jewish people. And he spoke that to the economic forum. In 2020, Mr. Zelensky said that he had an ordinary Soviet Jewish upbringing. He explained that his family was not very religious because religion did not officially exist in the Soviet state. He also said this, I never speak about religion. I never speak about God because I have my own personal opinion about it, he shared.

Of course, I believe in God, but I speak with him only in those moments which are personal for me. Now, had some comments from others. I think this is a clear KGB style provocation and poor propaganda, said Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel, Yevgeny Kornitchuk. We need to consider that he is trying to sabotage the ties between Israel and Ukraine before the visit of President Zelensky's wife in Israel, and he purposely did so right before Shabbat. We expect the Israeli government to strongly condemn President Putin's words, otherwise it could lead to a postponement of cancellation of President Zelensky's wife in Israel. He added that Zelensky takes Putin's words personally.

Putin's comments are anti-Semitic and against the Jewish people. I think the Israeli people need to be proud of the Ukrainian president who is Jewish and is bravely defending his country. When Putin attacks, now listen to this, when Putin attacks Zelensky, he attacks the Jewish people. We are on the same side of the barricade. So, Rick, at what point in the future, if you or I are critical of Mr. Zelensky, will we be considered against the Jewish people too? Now. Right now.

That's right now. You can't say anything about him. I find it ironic that Zelensky is unashamed of using his Jewishness as a tool to, you know, garner more support, more emotional support, financial support when it suits him. But he keeps his religion private. Right. So. I get it, Doc.

It's disingenuous, but. One more story. One more. Also the Jerusalem Post. Trump's faith advisor. There she is. Paula White. Christians must learn from the Jews not convert them oh she didn't really say that did she because this is the viewpoint of most Christian Zionists

that Jews don't need Jesus Christians need Judaism that's's their viewpoint. And she just came out and said it. And of course, the Jerusalem newspaper was delighted to see this major evangelical Christian Zionist in America who's so close to Donald Trump. They're just delighted to see her make this statement. So I want you to hear a few words from the Jerusalem Post article about Paula White. So according to the Jerusalem Post, Paula White, former U.S. President Donald Trump's closest evangelical advisor, believes Christians should learn from Jews rather than try to convert them. Now White is traveling with Orthodox Rabbi Tuli Wise of Israel 365, an organization

that builds bridges, they say builds bridges, between Jews and Christians. But here's what's interesting, Paula White has been studying with various religious figures during her visit. White was most arguably the most influential woman in the Trump administration and played a significant role in shaping its policies on Israel and the Middle East. And you know what that means, Doc? She's studying Kabbalah. That's right. Paula White believes Christians should learn from Jews rather than trying to convert them. So much so, and this is directly from the Jerusalem Post, that she is now in Israel studying Torah with Orthodox Jews.

So people that hate Jesus, people that hate Jesus, she's studying with. I don't believe Paula White is a Christian. And the reason I say that is because anybody who says that there's a group of humans that do not need salvation through Jesus Christ, then I know that person isn't a Christian. No person who knows Jesus Christ knows what he did for the human race on the cross.

No person who understands this would say there's a group of humans who don't need Jesus Christ in salvation. So I know she doesn't know Jesus. Right. And she's promoting this dual covenant idea here as well. She says, in an interview the Jerusalem Post did with her, Paul the Apostle made very clear that God extended His love to the Gentiles, but He did not take something from the Jews and tell us to go back and course correct or convert them, White told the Jerusalem Post as she sat outside the King David. What was Paul doing? He was converting Jews. And why were they stoning him and trying to get him killed? Because he was converting Jews. Now listen

to what she says. I do not want to convert Jews or send them to live in Israel for the rapture. The plan for salvation for the Jews is God's. And so basically she's saying there is one way of salvation for Gentiles and another way of salvation for Jews. This is something John Hagee teaches as well. We poor Gentiles, all we get is Jesus. Yes.

And the Jews get land. If that's true, we got the better deal. Right. But that's what she's saying. Right. One more quote from here. She's saying, there are so many churches in America that are deeply hungry to understand Torah, White said. You can be Jewish without being Christian, but you cannot be Christian without understanding Judaism.

That's a lie. Well, Ms. White, you know what the Torah is for us? It's the Old Testament. And we can understand the Word of God. We can understand the Scriptures and the Old Testament. We don't have to go to some little hovel in Israel and get some ancient teacher that uses gematria and magic numbers and rolls dice and finds codes in the scriptures that teaches everything else except the plan of salvation

that God so graciously granted to us through Jesus Christ. You know, it's a shame that a person of such influence like Paula White Kane can be. I hate to say it's so deluded, but it is a delusion. She's more than deluded. She's a deceiver. She's she's deliberately deceiving. You can be deceived or be a deceiver. I believe she's deliberately deceiving. I've always watched her.

I've never, I've never accepted her at all as a preacher of the gospel, but I've always for years, I've, I've watched her fingers. I have a habit of watching TV preachers hands, how they use their, I know it sounds, but I, I, some of you know what I'm talking about. You see them putting their, their hexes, their curses on people, you know, who does that? Who preaches like that? You ever notice that doc? Do you ever see these guys preaching like this? Who does that stuff? But Paula White white i always say she has witchy fingers big long bony witchy fingers and just watch her hands when she's on tv just watch her she's always doing this she's always casting her spells she's always speaking her kabbalah ism on you. She's I'll tell you one more story. I might as well, I'm already

this deep into it. Years ago, many years ago I was getting dressed in the morning and Susan had the TV on and it was like 6 in the morning and Paula White came on

and she's saying, I'm going to hold a big Holy Spirit convention and I want you to be there. The Holy Spirit is going to be there. There's going to be miracles and all kinds of things,

supernatural things. And I'm just standing there and I'm getting dressed. And I said to God, I said, Father, I really have a hard time believing your Holy Spirit is going to show up at a Paula White meeting. And I heard in my spirit the Lord say, just keep watching. And a minute or two later she said, now the announcer will tell you where this Holy Spirit meeting will take place and how you can be there.

And the announcer came on and said it was going to be in the Shriner Auditorium. Well, that's the biggest Freemason auditorium in Los Angeles. And the Holy Spirit said, did I answer your question? Is my spirit going to be at a Masonic temple auditorium? Of course not. Why was she holding her event in a Masonic lodge auditorium? Just watch your old fingers. Do you know how many of these preachers on TV are

Masons? Most of these preachers on TV are masons? Most of these rapture deceivers and Christian Zionists are masons. I'm writing a book about it. Oh, man, is this book going to... Oh, some of the stuff you shared with me today. Oh, oh, oh. Doc, is it going to be good? Oh, man. It's going to be... If you read the it's going to be if you read the first

you know this is this is the second edition of final day but if you read the first one i had two chapters in it about the origin of the rapture doctrine and i didn't put it in this one because i felt like those two chapters were taking away from the message that I wanted this book to deliver. But I had a plan to write another book about the rapture doctrine. And, wow, I am discovering things every single day. I had no idea how many people in the birth of the rapture movement, how many of them were masons, practiced necromancy, talking to dead spirits.

Bringing in Eastern mysticism. Kabbalah-ism and all that stuff. Yes. Unbelievable. And I'm going to name them. I'm working hard to get this book out by late summer, early fall. And tomorrow morning I will be up very,

very early writing it. So, Hey, enjoy your weekend. Spend time with the Lord. Spend time with your family. Father's day this weekend. That's right.

It's father's day this weekend. Happy father's day. All you dads. It'll be a great gift for Dad. There you go. Final day. Thank you, Doc. Appreciate you doing it.

I didn't ask you to do that. Thank you. That'll make a great gift for Dad. So enjoy the weekend. Spend time with the Lord. Watch the new Zion service with Doc Burkhart. But spend time with the Lord and in His Word. You'll be a better person.
