President Joe Biden joked to trade union workers that the United States might send American soldiers to war in Ukraine. His comment was made during a speech to the American Building Trade Union's legislative conference on Wednesday. President Biden told the union workers that the war in Ukraine could continue for a long time. And then he quipped, and by the way, if I got to go to war, I'm going to war with you guys. I mean it. Now, President Biden wasn't joking yesterday in the White House when former President Barack Obama stole the show away from the current commander in chief.

Joe Biden was seen wandering around in the White House with nobody who wanted to talk to him. Doc Burkhardt is here to tell you more about the sad story. Well, so their publicity stunt yesterday kind of backfired on them, didn't it? It sure did. They brought in Barack Obama to boost Joe Biden's sagging popularity, and all it did was make him look more pitiful. It did. And we actually have a couple of video clips we want to share with you.

And it's really sad that they're allowing this man to continue to operate in this capacity. I'll show you the first clip here. This is immediately after the presentation on the dais. Of course, everyone is starstruck with Barack Hussein Obama. Watch President Biden, the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, the man who controls nuclear weapons that can blow up people, wandering around looking for someone to pay attention to him. Watch this. That's sad. That is sad. If that was a parent, you know, that you were having to deal with there,

that would be sad in itself, wouldn't it? Yes, if it was your parents, your father's birthday party, and nobody was talking to him. Right. And he's just wandering around. Somebody would go over, get him by the arm and say, come on, Pop, let's go over here and sit down. But we're told this is the leader of the free world.

Right. That's what we're told, right? Yes. We're on the verge of a nuclear war with Russia, and that's the man that's leading us. This is very sad, the situation that we're in. We've got another video from another angle of that event at the White House yesterday. Thank you. Kamala Harris wasn't ignored? No, not at all. And you notice the president there, President Biden, I have to clarify this, was saying, Barack, Barack, Barack. Barack Hussein Obama wasn't turning his head, wasn't acknowledging.

Joe Biden even reached out and put his hand on Barack Obama's shoulder, trying to pull him away. Nope, that wasn't enough either. This is the President of the United States. Let's watch that again. Yeah, watch it one more time. He did. He put his hand on his shoulder. He was calling his name, and Obama ignored him. The president of the United States reaches out to you, puts his hand on your shoulder to pull you away.

Remember, Barack Hussein Obama is supposed to be a private citizen. But actually, the people were greeting the president of the United States because I am fully convinced that Barack Obama is the shadow president. He's been the shadow president since 2016. We predicted that in 2016. When Donald Trump ran for president, I said Donald Trump is going to win, but Barack Obama will be the shadow president. He will be the president in exile. And you correctly predicted that he would not leave D.C. That's right.

And he bought a home in D.C., also has one now in Martha's Vineyard, but he has a home in D.C., which is more than a home. It's a base of operations. That's right. It's a command center. Right. Does Jarrett still live there, too? Valerie Jarrett, she was living there for a while.

She works at the White House. She works at the White House. But she's living over at Obama's place, right? Susan Rice works at the White House. The Obama team is in the White House. It's not the Biden team. It's the Obama team. And that's why they were ignoring Joe, because they've been ignoring him for years. And so they were just simply acknowledging the president, the president of the United States. That's exactly right. Joe, because they've been ignoring him for years. And so they were just simply acknowledging the president, the president of the United States. That's exactly right. Wow. He is in their mind, the real president. And everybody in the White House, I think privately knows he's the president. Now, I didn't see the video. Somebody told me about it. So I can't say for sure that it exists. Somebody said, did you see the video of Jen Psaki?

She was asked a question about leaving to go to MSNBC. And she said, I have enjoyed working for President Biden. That she started to say President Obama. I haven't seen the video. I was told by a friend that he saw it. President Biden, that she started to say President Obama. Right. I hadn't seen the video. I was told by a friend that he saw it. And if that's true, then it was a slip of tongue. She was acknowledging who is her boss.

It's Barack Obama. He's just not physically in the White House. He's just a phone call away. This was his first appearance at the White House since 2017. But it doesn't mean he hasn't had influence over the White House since 2017. He's running the White House. Everything that's being done is an Obama. Look, Biden clearly does not have his mental faculties. The policies that are in place right now are destructive policies.

When Obama was in the White House, he was deliberately destroying the United States of America. Because if you remember those years, you would say, why would somebody do that unless they're trying to damage the country? Right. That was exactly what they were trying to damage the country right well that was exactly what they were trying that's what he was doing and he's softening things up yes and so he's still doing it today barack obama ran the resistance to donald trump he was behind all of the shenanigans that were going on with the news media and intelligence agents and the coordination of the strategy to derail Donald Trump is Barack Obama. He is the street organizer for the Communist Party, and he the Democrats, when will they push Joe Biden out of the White House?

Well, you know, it seems like there may be some rumblings here and there about that. They can't be overt about it yet because they have to gear up for the 2022 elections right now. But watch what happens after the fall elections here. I think you'll start seeing Democrats start, you know, putting their name in, throwing their hat in the ring. I saw Michael Bloomberg was in Israel this week, glad handing with Israeli politicians and everything. Now, that may not mean anything, but generally, you know, the first primary isn't the Iowa primary. It's the Israel primary. And so getting the photo at the Wailing Wall. So, you know, I'll watch for these politicians if they start showing up over in Israel. For

instance, if I saw Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley over there, I would know. They're over there. They're getting things lined up and everything for support for Israel. Michael Bloomberg is over there meeting with the same tech heads and people in positions of government. So it could be that you'll see a slew of candidates pop up after the fall elections because they'll perceive Joe Biden as weak. And so, well, Doc, if if Hunter Biden is indicted soon, they may have to move up the timetable to get Joe out of the White House before the election. I would say right now, I agree with you, it'll be after the election. But Hunter Biden's situation is becoming quite messy for them right now. Today, some top House Republicans sent a letter demanding that the intelligence agency experts who signed a letter backing up the fake evidence that Russia hacked the election.

Republican members of the House today are demanding that those 50 intelligence officers and officials come forward with the information that they had. Where did you get the information to sign that letter? Right. And if the fall elections go like we think they're going, the Republicans will control the houses in the fall so we could really see those subpoenas come out. House Judiciary Committee Republicans are demanding that 51, think about the number, 51 former intelligence operatives divulge information about their 2020 statement that documents from Hunter Biden's laptop could

be Russian disinformation, with a senior GOP aide telling the Post that the ex-spies should expect subpoenas next year if they fail to comply. All 19 Republicans on the panel signed a letter to the Intelligence Committee stalwarts demanding records on their claim that the laptop story had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation, a statement which helped the Biden campaign discouraged pre-election coverage of emails linking Joe Biden to his son's business ventures in China and Ukraine. And of course, that information about the laptop weeks before the 2020 election, obviously it influenced the election. I mean, only an idiot would say it

didn't influence the election. It went on to say in this particular article that documents from the laptop were belatedly verified in the past month by the Washington Post. Well, we're glad the Washington Post is the ones that verified it. Yeah, because they went to Pulitzer for their first reporting on the lies. And so the verification by The Post and The New York Times is a federal investigation into the first son over possible tax fraud, money laundering and foreign lobbying crimes heats up. We now know from subsequent reporting that The New York Post article about Hunter Biden was not, as you and your co-signatories alleged, part of a Russian information operation, the GOP letter says. This belated verification of the post-reporting raises fresh questions about the public statement you signed in October 2020. Now, Rick, these weren't some lightweights that signed this. The letter signed by Representative Jim Jordan, Daniel Issa, and Mike Johnson and others demands that the ex-intelligence operatives,

including former CIA directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Michael Hayden, as well as ex-DNI James Clapper. All Obama operatives. That's right. So that they must identify all people with whom you communicated about the inception, drafting, editing, signing, publishing, or promotion of the statement and provide all documents and communications referring or relating to that effort. So, Doc, they're calling these guys bluff, okay? They're senior intelligence agency officials. Right. And they made a statement at the end of the 2020 campaign.

We as U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that the Hunter Biden story is a hoax. It is a Russian disinformation propaganda operation. We know because we are intelligence experts. Right. And thus all the talking heads on all the various media outlets out there. It's been debunked. And they're parroting the very same information. So now what the Republican officials are saying is cough up the letters, cough up the documents. What did you base your letter on? What evidence? You said it's Russian disinformation. Where is the evidence?

And they don't have any evidence. If they coughed up anything, it would be letters, emails from and transcriptions of phone calls from Barack Obama telling them this is what we should say. This is what we should do to take down the Hunter Biden story. Obama's calling the shots on everything. I am absolutely convinced he is the kingpin in all of the corrupt political operations in Washington. Now, he's not the big man. He's just a top dog that is very competent in political maneuvering. He's a very shrewd, conniving person. And everyone on the left worships him like a messiah. And so, I mean, we can go so far as to call him a messiah. But, yeah, I agree with you.

He's the shadow president operating and pulling the strings. He's likely the one that pressured some of these media outlets to bury the story. Then it finally came to a point where the stink of the corpse was so bad you couldn't ignore it anymore. That's right. Like this next story, Doc. This came out today, New York Post, Biden wrote college recommendation letters for children of Chinese executives tied to Hunter Biden. So if it comes out in the Post today, I mean, in the New York Post today, it'll show up in the Washington Post and New York Times two years from now, right?

Yes, after they verify it. Well, the Post and the New York Times are very methodical in their verification process. It takes them years to admit that something's true. But it takes them days to debunk it, to accuse somebody. Well, the Post article here goes on to say that Joe Biden wrote college recommendation letters for the son and daughter of a Chinese financial executive with links to Biden's son Hunter, despite the president repeatedly denying ever speaking with his offspring about his business interests. Emails obtained by Fox News indicate that Jonathan Lee, the CEO of investment fund BHR, reached out to Hunter Biden and his business partners, Devin Archer and Jim Bolger on January 3rd, 2017 for advice about burnishing the college application

of Lee's son, Chris. Jim Bolger, do you know who one of his relatives was? Whitey Bolger? Yes. Jim Bolger is the nephew of Whitey Bolger. Whitey Bolger was a mafia criminal. Oh, so he's still in the family business, huh? Well, this is basic. Isn't this what we're talking about, the mafia?

How many times have we said the people that run America are just mafia dons? They're criminal family, you know, crime syndicates. So Jim Bulger is the nephew of Whitey Bolger. Whitey Bolger was, let's say, conveniently put to sleep. Remember a year or so ago, he was moved from one prison to another. Yeah, I remember that story. And as soon as he got in the new prison, he died.

He achieved room temperature. Yes. So, well, as the story is commencing here on this particular recommendation, Hunter Biden introduced Joe Biden to Jonathan Lee during a vice presidential trip to China in December 2013. And this is according to an account a BHR representative gave the New Yorker in 2019. So days after the trip, according to author Peter Schweitzer, Rosemont Seneca signed a deal with the state-owned Bank of China to create BHR, which still to this day lists Lee as CEO and Jim Bolger as a director. So Hunter Biden introduced his dad, Joe Biden, to the Chinese executive, Mr. Li, during a vice presidential trip by Biden to China.

Right. Official business, official business of the United States of America. Yes. And Hunter Biden rode on Air Force Two with the vice president. So there was a family business, too. Right. with the vice president. So there was a family business too. Right, and so just days after this, vice presidential visit, that BHR was constructed. Now, uh. With the help of the Bank of China.

Right. That's no small matter. That's like the Federal Reserve. Yes. I mean, we're playing with big boys here at this level. Now, apparently the recommendation letters didn't help because the kids didn't get accepted to the schools that the vice president provided the letters for.

He did provide the letters. There's no doubt about that. But they didn't get accepted to those schools. They ended up getting accepted to other schools. But the account that's been portrayed by the mass media up to this point is there was, they're just quoting Joe Biden. I never did any business with Hunter. There was no instruction from me or anything. It's almost like Bill Clinton saying, I did not sleep with that woman. I did not do business with Hunter. But the fact

of the matter is that it's things like this, writing college recommendation letters at request of Hunter and doing that for a business partner that raises questions. I watched Peter Doocy today ask Jen Psaki a question in one of the emails that Hunter Biden specifically asked for copies of keys to be made for his office mates, including Joe Biden, Joe Biden, and Jim Biden. And Jen Psaki stood, and Hunter Biden in the email calls them office mates. Peter Doocy asked, were they office mates? Jen Psaki stood there and said, no, they were not office mates, even though the email the hunters sent said they were.

Yes. That actually came out two years ago about the office keys. Right. He asked about it again today. So it's interesting that all these, are we going to wait two years now for the rest of the mass media to finally say, you know what, maybe they did do business together. They're running the clock like in a basketball game.

They're just trying to get to the end of the game. Well, right now they're trying to get to halftime, aren't they, in the fall? Yeah, and they already know it's going to look bad. It's just a question of how bad is it going to be. Well, it's bad enough that Jen Psaki's leaving for a paycheck at MSNBC. So that tells you how bad. I mean, when the rats are jumping the ship, that tells you that the ship might be going down.

Pretty early in the term for rats jumping ship. That usually doesn't happen until the last months of a presidency. One more story, New York Post, Hunter Biden grand jury witness was asked, who is the big guy in the Chinese deal? So in this particular article from the New York Post, it says a witness who had testified before the Hunter Biden grand jury was asked to identify the big guy in the first son's planned deal with a Chinese energy conglomerate,

as calls ramped up to have President Biden included in a conspiracy probe. Oh, wow. So the question arose after the witness was shown a piece of evidence while appearing in secret before the panel in Wilmington, Delaware. The source familiar with the proceedings told the Post, a bombshell email exclusively reported by the post in october 2020 showed that one of hunter biden's business partners james gilliard outlined the proposed percentage distribution of equity in a company created for a joint venture with

cefc china energy company the march 13th 2017 plan included 10 held by H for the big guy. So that's the question. The question is, who is the big guy? And as a question that's being asked, the question in the email is saying we are supposed to hold, I'm going to interpret it, 10% of the shares being held by Hunter, H, Hunter, for the big guy. 10% of the equity of the company set aside by Hunter Biden for the big guy. Up until this week, I have assumed that the big guy is Joe Biden. Yes. And I think most of us, that was our conclusion.

It was the code name, big guy was the code name for Joe Biden. But Doc said something to me the other day that I had not thought about. And I'll let you. You just explain. Just tell our audience the theory you have about the big guy. All right. So if you go, all the emails that come out, when Hunter identifies his dad, he calls him Pops all throughout, right? And so it just, you know, over and over again, you see Pops, Pops, Pops. And so, and he'll identify Jim Biden as Unc or Uncle or something along that line.

So it never directly identifies the big guy. Now, Tony Bobulinski says the big guy is Joe Biden, but I'm not totally convinced. I believe that the big guy, and I know you have to wrap your mind around it, could possibly be Barack Hussein Obama. The name you cannot say because they had to absolutely protect him.

You can't say pops. Right. You can't say pops right you can't say dad okay his name is unmentionable right now with this thought in mind that the big guy who get who got 10 of the china business deal was barack hussein obama want you guys back in the control room. I want you to replay number two of the video. And while we're watching this, I want you just to look at Biden and Obama and tell me based on this video, which one is the big guy?

Sure seems like Barack Hussein Obama. Does Joe Biden look like a commanding figure that people would keep his name in hushed tones, never mention his name? Well, you don't mention the name of your Messiah. So another thing that, just as I thought more about this this week, think of all the lucrative deals

that Barack Obama has had thrown his way since he left the White House. I mean, it was a small deal. Very wealthy now. We're talking tens of millions of dollars just on the Netflix deal. He's producing shows for Netflix. Have you seen any of these shows?

No. Have you heard them promoted at all? No. But he got paid for them. He's been paid book advances for five books. Five books? For five books ahead of time. Have you seen any of these books yet?

No. So I'm under, just theory. Money laundering? This is the evil doc theory. Money laundering. That they're throwing that money his direction. They're figuring out ways to get that money into Barack Hussein Obama's hands because he paid off for them.

He brought the goods for them. And he got his 10%. That's right. But he's got to collect the money. That's right. So they do it through... And maybe that's why he visited the White House this week. They do it through big business deals

and they launder the money and they say, this money's clean. I'm convinced that goes on in a lot of businesses in this country where numbers are astronomical. And you think, Doc, there's no way that that transaction took place with those kind of numbers. Right. Well, you were right. They didn't. They were moving money from one source to another. Yes. And, you know, you've got to ask the question here, who's really in charge? Who is that big guy?

From now on, every time you see this story now, you're going to be asking yourself, could Obama be the big guy? Yeah. And I would encourage you to talk to your friends and family and everybody you know in social media and just say, is the big guy Barack Obama? Have we been blind for all these years and we haven't thought that it was Obama? We just assumed it was Joe Biden. What if the big guy is Barack Obama? He's got a big house they bought in Martha's Vineyard, right? He's building this huge complex in Hawaii.

I mean, they've been working on this thing for two years this big mansion big complex in hawaii that they've been working on so it's like you need a house for a big guy that's right for a big guy needs a big house and so several big houses so anyway it's just something to think about but it'll be a bug in your mind from here on out. So. Well, the other day, a C-SPAN reporter asked at the White House press conference, would Joe Biden pardon his son, Hunter? Here's the response. To add from this podium. Can I ask you if there have been, if you're aware, if there have been any discussions here inside this White House about whether the president might use his pardon or commutation power with respect to either his son or his brother. That's not a hypothetical I'm

going to entertain. I don't have anything to add from this podium. Justin? All right. So what's interesting about that question, Rick, is that it was even asked. Yes. Not that they didn't have an answer. They're going to deflect on an answer on anything like that. But the fact that a reporter asked that question in an open White House press room, he has heard something. There has been some rumblings. He's heard from some source of his that President Biden

will possibly use his commutation or his pardon powers to pardon Hunter or maybe his brother, Jim Biden. I asked you about this and what was your thought about it? I mean, where if he did do it, when would he do it? It would happen, obviously, before trial.

They're not going to let Biden, Hunter Biden, be sentenced to prison. Right. My guess, it would it would the November elections, but it doesn't really matter that the damage is done. I personally don't think the founding fathers intended for this constitutional power to be used to spring guilty criminals out of prison. I believe it was meant to be reserved for the most narrow cases. I think when somebody expresses true, genuine sorrow, remorse for the crimes that they committed, or if the person was unjustly convicted and the evidence is overwhelming that the court found guilty an

innocent man or woman, I believe that was the purpose of that constitutional power. It was not meant for politicians to say, well, if we get caught robbing and stealing, we'll just pardon our buddies. Right. And this applies not just to Joe Biden, but to any president, like President Trump. He pardoned a lot of people that probably should still be in prison right now. That's right. Including Jared's father-in-law. Right, Charles Kirsten. Who should still be in prison.

That's an example of how they spring criminals out of prison. But it ought to be for people that are genuinely remorseful, sorrowful for the crimes that they committed. Or that an injustice was served to them. Maybe new evidence comes out years later that that person did not commit the crime. And the only way to get the person out is presidential pardon. But it's not meant for the way that they've been using it. But the fact that the question was asked, that it's out there in the atmosphere now, tells you something.

And I would expect that it would happen. Joe Biden, he doesn't have to worry about running for re-election. He's not going to run for re-election. There's no way. That man that was wandering around in the room, you think he's running for re-election? It's just not going to happen. Kamala Harris will be moved up to president. Then watch who becomes her vice president. That's the one to watch. Now, you would think it would be Hillary, but if Obama's calling the shots, it won't be Hillary. The Clintons and the Obamas are competitors for control of the Democratic Party.

Right. They're not working together. Sort of frenemies. Frenemies, yes. They're not working together. If anybody would get the job, it would be Michelle Obama. Constitutionally, I don't think Barack Obama. This has never happened before.

A former sitting president being appointed vice president. Nobody's ever done that before. Well, he certainly couldn't run again in 2024. But could he assume the office if Kamala Harris died or resigned? Yeah. Since he's already served two terms. Now, you might get the Supreme Court that might rule yes he can be the vice president there's nothing no constitutional prohibition against him being the vice president and if she

died or resigned he could finish her term but he could not run for a term right so I wouldn't roll it out. While we're on ideas like this, because yesterday was a unique concept that Israel could move to Ukraine, or they make Ukraine Israel number two, or we should say it becomes Israel number one, and the Zionist state in Palestine becomes number two. Zelensky said, big Israel.

That's his words, big Israel. So I'm taking these people seriously at their words. But you had another idea about... I'm just full of them this week. You are. These are the conversations that we have off camera. So I'm going to let Doc explain some of his ideas. But you had an idea about the nomination for the Supreme Court.

Right. Ketanji Brown Jackson. So she's going through the confirmation process. And she has visited with 97 senators at this point, spent nearly 2000 hours in conversation with senators in private. I think she's going to get the seat. Well, you got three Republicans now that are endorsing her. Anyway, but what was interesting as I was coming in the other morning, driving to work and I was listening to Fox Business, they were making a conversation about the whole confirmation process.

And then they said, you know, Stephen Breyer isn't due to resign until June. So he's still on the court. Right. So Stephen Breyer is still on the court. So Katonji Brown Jackson is being nominated to fill his seat. But there's no vacancy. Right. There's no vacancy right now. And so I'm like going,

well, they're confirming someone here in March, April for a seat that's not going to be open until June. And what if, I'm just wild speculation here, what if for whatever reason Stephen Breyer says,

you know what? I'm feeling good. I think I've got a few more years left in me. So you've put a person through the confirmation process. They've been approved by the Senate. Where do you put them? If Stephen Breyer, for whatever reason, decided I'm not going to step down. So the Democrats lose control of the Senate in November. And then let's say Justice Thomas

retires or becomes sick or resigns or resigns or whatever. And now the Democrats say the Senate already. Yes. Already confirmed the nomination of Ketanji Brown. Now, does that make sense now with all the news stories about Clarence and Jenny Thomas over the past several weeks? A lot of people didn't know Clarence Thomas was in the hospital. They kept that on the down low for sure. But there were enough people that knew that started attacking Jenny Thomas while he was in the hospital, while Clarence Thomas was in the hospital. Then earlier this week, you started seeing articles pop up. Should Clarence Thomas resign?

Well, what Justice Thomas should watch out for is that somebody doesn't put a pillow over his head like they did to Justice Scalia when they murdered him. And they did murder a Supreme Court justice. I'll stand by that statement. Justice Scalia was murdered. I believe he was too. And so the question is, here's where we are right now. Let's say that within the next two weeks, they Katonji Brown Jackson, which looks pretty much like a done deal. So you have a confirmed justice for the Supreme Court but no position for her, no vacancy for her. Or do they create a position for her? They've got a confirmed justice. I'm just speculating here. I have no evidence to suggest. What's the expiration date on a confirmed Supreme Court justice nominee? What's the expiration date?

I wouldn't think there. It's not like a milk. And so I think it would last as long as it could. So, but my idea was that, well, if Breyer, for whatever reason, says, you know, I think I'm going to stay. Well, if the other justices steps down, you've already got a confirmed justice there. Sitting on the shelf. And the Republicans could be in full control of the Senate in 23, and the Democrats would say, but we already confirmed Katonji Brown Jackson.

Right. Now that's a pretty far out idea. So that's almost Clintonian. Yes, only a Clinton would think like that. Let's change subjects in the remaining minutes of the program. Politico reported that Joe Biden is under pressure to make U.S. on russia permanent yes in perpetuity until putin dies or resigns they're really after him aren't they they are and they went after his daughters today i saw the sanctions on the putin daughters yeah and they're socialites they travel all over europe

and everything or at least they did not now so but uh yeah so they're sanctioning kids now and so well they're growing up kids but still uh that those sanctions uh reach out even further so cnn reported that the pentagon tested a hypersonic missile uh last month but it was kept quiet well, they said the U.S. successfully tested a hypersonic missile in mid-March, but kept it quiet for two weeks to avoid escalating tensions with Russia. President Joe Biden was about to travel to Europe, according to defense official familiar with the matter. The hypersonic air-breathing weapon concept was launched from a B-52 bomber off the West Coast, the official said, in the first successful test of the Lockheed Martin version of the system. A booster engine

accelerated the missile to high speed, at which point the air-breathing scramjet engine ignited and propelled the missile at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 and above. The official offered scant details of the test, only noting that the missile flew above 65,000 feet and for more than 300 miles. But even at the lower end of the hypersonic range, about 3,800 miles per hour, a flight of 300 miles is less than five minutes. Let's keep that up for a second here. Rick, why do you really think they kept us quiet? I would say to not alarm the public that we

were that close to a nuclear war weeks ago. That's my view. Remember the armed, nuclear-armed jet fighters that flew over, was it Sweden? I think it was Sweden, yes, by the Russians.

Yes, which was about the same time. Right, so this is just interesting that now this information comes out, that they withheld the information for at least a few weeks in spite of the Russians coming out and saying, we've tested it multiple times. You have a different idea why they kept it quiet? I don't think the test was that successful.

That's another possibility. And I think they've had to control the information. I would think if it was a successful test, they would be boasting about it, saying, Russia, you think you've got a hypersonic missile? You haven't seen an American hypersonic missile yet. That's a very good point. Very, very good point. Jerusalem Post reporting that a top official in Poland said that their country was open to the possibility of the United States stationing nuclear warheads on Polish soil. Yes. The ruling Polish party leader noted that Poland would also welcome a 50 percent increase in the number of U.S. troops in Europe.

So Poland's going all in with this plan that's going on. But Rick, stationing nuclear weapons in Poland, we're basically going to come up with the same situation that was leading up in Ukraine. One of the things in Ukraine that Vladimir Putin pointed out is that if Ukraine comes into NATO, they're going to park nuclear weapons that can arrive in Moscow in five minutes. But Poland's already in NATO. Right. And now they're going to put nuclear weapons in Poland that can arrive in Moscow in five minutes. Guess where this is going? A nuclear war.

This is where it's headed. Another story on Poland today, Rick, is they're still all in on getting MiGs to Ukraine. They're looking for a third country to transport the MiGs to and to get the MiGs into Ukraine. There's a story floating around on the Internet today that a high-level U.S. general was captured in Ukraine. Right. The news media, the Pentagon's not saying a thing. There's not a word coming out of the Pentagon or the White House. The American news media is saying it's Russian disinformation, don't believe it.

But in Russia, Russian media, there are stories that this general, they give his name and his rank and where he was captured and that he's going to be executed. Is it disinformation? I don't know. And who is it disinformation from? From Russia or from the Ukrainians? The Ukrainians are always constantly looking for ways to stir up things, to get other people involved. Well, Doc, the idea of nukes in Poland did not go down well in the Kremlin today. Right. So Russia's Dmitry Peskov said that Poland's readiness of nukes in Poland did not go down well in the Kremlin today.

Right. So Russia's Dmitry Peskov said that Poland's readiness to host United States nuclear weapons would be a serious threat to Russia. It would be akin to Russian planning nuclear weapons in Mexico or in Cuba. So this would be the same sort of mindset here. So this is escalating pretty quick. I'll show you how much it's escalating. Next story here. Romania is obviously worried about things here in the very near future. Romania is getting ready to issue anti-radiation iodine pills to citizens in wake of a possible nuclear threat. Now nothing to be concerned about folks. But here's a bottle of iodine pills for you. My friends, when politicians hand out iodine pills,

they are telling you that nuclear war is very close. And so this is... The Romanian government is doing a mass distribution of potassium iodide. So it says in a significant development, the Romanian government on Sunday, April 3rd, announced that from next week they'll launch a campaign to inform their nationals on how to store and take iodine tablets to counter any future nuclear accident. So Romania's health ministry in a statement announced that they will start distributing the tablet to its citizens

in the second half of April in 2022. So the nuclear war is not going to start until after the middle of April, Rick, because they've got to get the pills out to everyone first. We may be a couple years away from a dock. I think this just might just continue to just worsen and worsen and worsen. And it does provide a distraction from the COVID halftime, doesn't it? Right now. Yes, we were in we're in the reprieve right now, giving us a break. I'm going to look at the time. This next story, this is quite long, but I'm going to go ahead and plow into this.

I read this the other day, Wall Street Journal. I cannot give you the entire article. It's a very extensive article, very long. A good one, too. And it's written from a pro-NATO viewpoint on how we got to this war. Now, the title of the Wall Street Journal article, Vladimir Putin's 20-Year March to War in Ukraine and How the West Mishandled It. I would rewrite that headline and I would change in how the West caused it to happen. Or handled it. Yes, how they handled it. Because right there, Wall Street Journal's telling you what we've been telling you. Putin has warned NATO for 20 years. He will not tolerate weapons on his border.

And they're telling you in this article that's what it's about. Right. And so what do we do? We put weapons on his border. Right. So back in early November, months before the war began, CIA Director William Burns visited Moscow to deliver a warning. The U.S. believed Russian President Vladimir Putin was preparing to invade Ukraine. If he went ahead, he would face crippling sanctions from the United West. The American spy chief was connected on secure Kremlin phone with Mr. Putin, who was in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, isolated from all but a few confidants.

The Russian leader made no effort to deny Mr. Burns' charge. Instead, he calmly recited a list of grievances about how the U.S. had for years ignored Russian security concerns. As for Ukraine, Mr. Putin told Mr. Burns it wasn't a real country. After returning to Washington, the CIA chief advised President Biden that Mr. Putin hadn't yet made an irrevocable decision, but was strongly disposed to invade. So at that point, Doc, November of 2021, the CIA director told Joe Biden, Putin has not yet made a decision to invade Ukraine. He had grievances. He had concerns. He had concerns about security. But at this point in the game, as in November of 2021, President Putin had not made a decision about this. There was still an opportunity.

There you go. That's what I want to use the situation. That's what I wanted you to say. There was still an opportunity to negotiate a settlement. We, you and I, i don't remember the day uh late 2021 december or january i remember us saying something's changed today it was the in the the tone of uh especially of lavrov lavrov it was his language yes it's like it's over and uh ryabakov was the other one, the diplomat. And we just said, they've made the decision. The Russians have decided there's no point talking to the West anymore. There's nothing left to do but go to war. And I don't think the Russians wanted to go to war at all.

I think they were extremely reluctant to do it. But the U.S. and Europe pushed them into it. The warmongers in the West wanted this done. But you're going to see in this article how some European leaders were privately, behind the scenes, trying to stop a war. Right. And it's very interesting what comes out in this Wall Street Journal article so once again this from a NATO of a pro NATO perspective here so for nearly two decades the US and European Union vacillate on on over how to deal with

the Russian leader as he resorted to increasingly aggressive steps to reassure reassert Moscow's Dominion over Ukraine and the other Soviet Republic so the storyline is Vladimir Putin he's a madman, he's gonna recreate the Soviet empire. For two years, for two decades. Right. Now tell me, over the last 20 years, what did you see Putin doing that was aggressive

to reconstitute the Soviet Union? No evidence at all. None. But that's the storyline. Yes. He longs for the good old days back when he was in the KGB and they had a Soviet Union and everything. Doggone it, he just misses the good old days and we're just going to get that Soviet Empire together again. And let's start with the toughest nation to

do it in, Ukraine. So the basis of the Wall Street Journal story is it's like, you know, connecting the dots. You know, the intelligence agencies did not connect the dots. They didn't know that this man over here who was a terrorist and was on the payroll of the FBI, they didn't know that the two didn't know the truth about this person. They just thought he was an informer. They didn't connect the dots. That's always how they spin these stories. So what the Wall Street Journal is doing in this one, Doc,

is saying that evil, dirty old Putin, for 20 years he's been scheming how to bring back the Soviet Union. And the sad thing is Western leaders just mishandled the whole situation. We made a mistake. We dropped the ball. The reason we have this war is that we didn't have the right strategy and we allowed Putin to finally invade. That's really what they're saying here. Instead of taking ownership of the war, the West will not take ownership of this war.

They will not say, yeah, we angered him. We provoked him for 20 years. Look, they're talking about Putin being a madman. I'm looking at it as the guy for 20 years hasn't thrown a punch. Right, and when he does, suddenly he's taken over the world. Yeah. So, well, it goes on to say, and once again, this is from a pro-NATO perspective here, says perceptions changed in January 2007 when Mr. Putin vented his growing frustrations about the West

at the annual Munich Security Conference. In a long and icy speech, he denounced the U.S. for trying to rule a unipolar world by force, accused NATO of breaking promises by expanding into Europe's east, and called the West hypocritical for lecturing Russia about democracy. A chill descended on the audience of the Western diplomats and politicians at the luxury hotel Barry Risher Hoffer, participants recalled. 2007. So for 15 years, he's been signaling his frustration with things that are going on.

And there was plenty of opportunity for the West to respond to that and to come to some sort of conclusion. But, Rick, I still remember our trip to St. Petersburg and when President Putin was on the dais talking with Macron and all the rest of them. What I saw there wasn't a madman trying to restore the Soviet Union. Here was somebody who said, you know what? I can provide another path, another solution. I'm not rah-rah-ing for Vladimir Putin. I'm just telling you what I observed that day as I sat watching that, that I saw a man saying,

hey, we want to resolve the issues with Japan. Let's end World War II. We want to resolve the security issues in Europe. Maybe instead of going to the Americans all the time for security, come to Russia for security. We're European. What's wrong with us? Can we not work together?

That's right. I saw it too, Doc, and it was a moment I will always remember is watching these world leaders sitting on the stage in front of us, and this offer was made by Vladimir Putin to Shinzo Abe, let's settle World War II, and to Emmanuel Macron, let Russia be your military protector. And the banker was sitting on the stage too. What was her name? Emmanuel Macron, let Russia be your military protector.

And the banker was sitting on the stage, too. What was her name? Was it Lagarde? Was it Christine Lagarde? Yeah. So she was sitting on the stage, too. So you had all your bases covered. You had the people that were influencing Europe and the people that were running the money in Europe there. And so they had the opportunity, even at that point there at St. Petersburg, where they could have gone a different direction here.

I think Putin at that point was extending an olive branch to them. Yes, he was. Doc, in this Wall Street Journal article, this is long, deep into the article, because it is quite a long article, we see a turn of events. February 15 of 2022, Germany's new Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Yeah, he had succeeded Angela Merkel in December, but he fared no better at Mr. Putin's long table on February 15th. Remember that picture, them at opposite ends of the table? So that was sending a clear message to everyone. Mr. Putin opened the meeting

with a forceful litany of complaints about NATO, meticulously listing weapons systems stationed in alliance countries near Russia. So not just Ukraine, other countries too. And meticulously listing the weapons. So Mr. Putin then talked about his research on Russian history going back a thousand years, a millennium, about which he had written a lengthy essay last summer. He told Mr. Schultz that Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians were one people with a common language and a common identity that had only been divided by haphazard political interventions in recent history.

So Mr. Putin now is making a new turn for things. You see in this next quote, the last opportunity for peace. So Mr. Schultz made one last push for a settlement between Moscow and Kiev. He told Mr. Zelensky in Munich on February 19th, so this is just four days after that meeting, that Ukraine should renounce its NATO aspirations and declare neutrality as part of a wider European security deal between the West and Russia. The pact would be signed by Mr. Putin and Mr. Biden, who would jointly guarantee Ukraine's security.

Now, keep that quote up for a second. Amazing. Look at this. Okay. So, Schultz had actually made some headway with Putin. Did you read this February 19th? No. We never reported this because this was never told to the public.

So obviously Mr. Schultz had had some conversation with Vladimir Putin that there was still a pathway as late as February 19th that all this nonsense could have ended. All this before it even began, Putin had said, listen, if Ukraine will just say we won't be in NATO, I will allow Ukraine to be part of the EU security pact, whatever you want to call it, but not part of NATO. That takes on a whole different meaning. And obviously, Schultz had made some sort of headway there with Mr. Biden as well. Think about this. So Putin and Biden had pretty much guaranteed that. The pact that was proposed on February 19 to Zelensky was that Russia and the United States

would jointly guarantee Ukraine's national security. That was February 19th. So you had the German chancellor, you have the Russian president, the American president with a pathway on February 19th out of this whole particular deal. So if Zelensky wanted to avert a war with Russia, that was his opportunity right there. He could have said, yes, let's work it out. We don't want war. I don't want any destruction of my country. This is a win-win deal. There's no war. Russia and the United States both sign an agreement that they will both protect Ukraine. Ukraine agrees it will not join NATO.

No weapons, no NATO weapons inside Ukraine. It's a win-win for everybody. But who killed it? Zelensky. Because he has plans for bigger Israel. Right. So Zelensky said Mr. Putin couldn't be trusted to uphold such an agreement and that most Ukrainians wanted to join NATO.

That was his statement. His answer left German officials worried that the chances of peace were fading. Aides to Mr. Schultz believed Mr. Putin would maintain his military pressure on Ukraine's borders to strangle its economy and then eventually move to occupy the country. U.S. and European leaders held a video call. I think the last person who could still do something is you, Joe. Are you ready to meet Putin? So Mr. Macron said to Mr. Biden, the U.S. president agreed and asked Mr. Macron to pass the message on to Mr. Putin. So there's still even one more attempt to get some sort of summit between Joe Biden and President Putin. All right, so Emmanuel Macron tried to get a

one-on-one meeting with Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin to stop the war. The war hadn't even started to prevent an invasion. So certainly Mr. Biden said yes, right? Right. Well, it says that Mr. Macron spent the night of February 20th. So this is all happening within a five-day period here. Spent the night alternately on the phone with Mr. Putin and Mr. Biden. So the French president was still talking with Mr. Putin at 3 a.m. Moscow time, negotiating the wording of a press release announcing the plan for a U.S.-Russian summit. But the next day, Mr. Putin called Mr. Macron back.

The summit was off. It was done. Mr. Putin said that he had decided to recognize the independence of separatist enclaves in eastern Ukraine. He said fascists had seized power in Kiev while NATO hadn't responded to his security concerns and was planning to deploy nuclear missiles in Ukraine. We're not going to see each other for a while, but I really appreciate the frankness of our discussions, Mr. Putin told Mr. Macron. I hope we can talk again one day. So all this happened within a five-day period. Now that you look at, you've got kind of

an outsider's view of everything that happened in there. Within those days, there were several opportunities in that third week of February to completely diffuse the situation. One man, one man only held it up. One man. Zelensky. Vladimir Zelensky. But he's going to get the Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah, probably a big giant check from Israel, too. You know, like Polish clearinghouse sends out to everybody. If he really cared about his country and his people, he would have worked out a deal with Putin. Putin wasn't asking for anything other than don't join NATO and don't put NATO weapons in your country.

That's all they were asking for. And get rid of the Nazis that are in the Ukrainian government. But their biggest concern was NATO and the weapons. In other words, NATO was a bigger threat to Russia and their weapons than the Nazis in Ukraine. But now we

know this week that there's a plan that we didn't know about, that there are Zionists who have for years had their eyes on Ukraine. And the plan is to make, according to Zelensky, to make Ukraine bigger Israel. So that brings us back to Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden and all the deals that he was making in Ukraine and all the sons of the political leaders here on boards and getting their feet all in the Ukraine mud and everything. Do you think they were tipped off a decade ago about the plan for big Israel? Well, look at the people around Biden and look at who the Biden. Who is a Zionist, self-confessed. And look at who the Biden children have married.

Yes. Says it all, doesn't it? They know. But I still, I think you're right about the big guy. I don't think it's Biden. I think he is still... I don't think he could drive... He said the other day he drove a truck, you know, a big rigged truck. He's never driven a big rigged truck, not in his whole life.

He rode one once. He's never driven one. He doesn't remember things. He said last week that his wife Jill was Barack Obama's vice president. But maybe she is. Think about that. All right, Doc. If Obama is secretly running the White House, maybe Jill is the real vice president inside the White House and it's not Kamala Harris. Maybe she's just a clown, the sideshow.

Which president was it that was really sick in the White House? Wilson. Yes, Wilson. He had a stroke. And basically his wife was running everything around the White House. And Colonel House. Right. Who was a New World Order guy. The handler.

So they had the handler, Colonel House, would have been the Barack Obama. Right. Okay. And then Mrs. Wilson was carrying out the activities in the White House. And notice when Barack Obama, but when Joe Biden is out by himself and Jill's not around, he's helpless. He's helpless without her around. In fact, he opened up that event with Barack Hussein Obama making a point. Jill's not here right now. Jill's working today. She's teaching. She's not here. He made a big, long spiel about it.

So anytime he's out operating by himself, when Jill's not around, watch out. SHE'S NOT HERE. HE MADE A BIG LONG SPEEL ABOUT IT. SO ANY TIME HE'S OUT OPERATING BY HIMSELF, WHEN JILL'S NOT AROUND, WATCH OUT. MAYBE THE REAL TEAM IS OBAMA AND JILL BIDEN. THAT'S WHO'S RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW. ONE MORE, I JUST WANT TO SHOW

YOU, THIS IS ABOUT A MINUTE, MINUTE AND A HALF VIDEO. CHERYL ATKINSON HAS A GREAT REPORT ON HER WEBSITE, CHERYLATAtkinson.com, where she's presenting information that some top scientists are saying that there is evidence that Omicron was made in a lab. Imagine that. That they've studied it, and there's no way this thing evolved naturally. Here's a, it's about a six minute report,

but I'm just going to show you about a minute, minute and a half. Here it is. When Omicron emerged, many scientists were bowled over by the lightning speed with which it spread. Although public health officials have warned that the original COVID-19 was highly contagious and fast-moving, it looked like it was standing still next to the Omicron variant. To many scientists, the genetic differences that made Omicron so quickly transmissible caused it to immediately

stand out as unlikely to be a result of a natural evolution. It did not follow the trajectory of the outbreak, says one scientist studying the virus for the U.S. government did not follow the trajectory of the outbreak, says one scientist studying the virus for the U.S. government. Others note the, quote, rapid accumulation of mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant that enabled its outbreak. One of the hypotheses is that there's been a cryptic, a completely separate outbreak going on, or a cryptic transmission independent of mice, says a scientist who did not wish to be identified because he's not authorized to speak publicly on the topic. He says, perhaps someone immune compromised was infected and active replication of the virus was maintained

for a very long time. But there is another disturbing theory, one considered more likely by some scientists working on the issue, that Omicron was bred in a lab and escaped. It is possible, quote, that serial passaging in mice was done in a laboratory somewhere and added an accidental or on-purpose release on the back end, says a scientist with knowledge of the matter. The short version, he says, is that the least likely scenario is that this was a natural human transmission chain that created the lineage and we just failed to detect it. The number and makeup of the changes would have required a vast number of infections to support.

And so that's just dealing with the Omicron variant. You know, the fourth, fifth, sixth version of COVID. So I'm of the opinion they've all been manufactured. Of course. That they've just released out the one to see which one works the best. And remember, folks, we're just in a COVID ceasefire right now. COVID halftime, I like to call it. We're watching the marching band on the field right now. Which is war.

That's the distraction right now. Which is war. Right. And so we're at COVID halftime. Wait till the game starts again. So. Well, that's it for today.
