TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Nuke Normalcy Bias: Few Americans Bothered by Armageddon Talk

Episode Date: March 23, 2022

The possibility of nuclear war in the coming weeks is appearing in numerous newspaper articles and in TV news discussions. The odd thing is few people seem to care. What explains the public’s lack of alarm about mass destruction? Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 3/23/22

This is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. The possibility of nuclear war in coming weeks is appearing in numerous newspaper articles and in TV news discussions. The odd thing is few people seem to care. Well, what explains the public's lack of alarm about mass destruction? Doc Burkhardt and I will talk about it today on this edition of True News. And so we'll start our conversation with news articles about nuclear war. Because, Doc, we don't have to look for them anymore. No, they're just commonplace. We're used to it. Like you said, it's like a normalcy bias that we're having right now.

So this is from Al Jazeera. This is Dmitry Peskov saying Russia has a concept of domestic security that outlines when nuclear weapons can be used. So basically Russia is saying Russia could use nuclear weapons if existence was threatened. And obviously they're saying that because they have some sort of feeling that their existence could be threatened yes so mr peskov is the press secretary for vladimir putin he's the jen's hockey of of moscow right okay um so he's being asked questions in press conferences about the use of nuclear weapons. This is the point we're making today is that nuclear war is now, has now become a common topic in press conferences, on television news programs, in the speeches by U.S. senators and by Russian senators.

They're just talking openly about the use of nuclear weapons. So Dmitry Peskov made those remarks when he was speaking to CNN's Christiane Amanpour. And the Kremlin spokesperson said in an interview that Russia would only use nuclear weapons if its very existence were threatened. Peskov's comment came as CNN interviewer Christiane Amanpour pushed him on whether he was convinced or confident that Vladimir Putin would not use the nuclear option in the Ukrainian context. We have a concept of domestic security and it's public. You can read all the reasons for nuclear arms to be used, Peskov said on Tuesday. So if it is an existential threat for our country, then it can be used in accordance with our concept. So in other words, if he felt like the existence of Russia would be threatened, where Russia would cease to exist, then yes, they would use the nuclear option. I mean, he confirms that. Now, they have publicly said this. They've put this out there, so it's no

secret. But they're making sure that the West is hearing what he's having to say right now. Yes. Doc, up until the last week or two, politicians and even military leaders and diplomats just never discussed nuclear war. It was a topic that was... We settled this question. We're not going to blow each other up. It's inappropriate to talk about dangers. It was dangerous to talk about nuclear war. Those were words that should not come out of the mouths of any responsible leader. In the past two weeks, and particularly this week, it's in the news every day. And the public, most of the public doesn't even know about it.

Right. Yes. Most of the public doesn't even know and all the people who do know about it, few of them care. It's just kind of a big yawn. The next topic, there's no, I brought this up in conversations with people and it just goes right over their head. They change the channel on me. Don't want to talk about it. Right. And and you're right to them, to many people, it's just a show on TV.

It's something far off. Something that happened a long time ago. They can't even comprehend it in their minds or they have a normalcy bias that says, I just can't comprehend it. Or it could happen, but it won't happen on the street I live on. Right. Now, one of the things that would cross the line for Russia would be the presence of NATO troops, NATO planes, NATO pilots showing up in Ukraine. Well, Foreign Minister Lavrov said that the introduction of NATO peacekeepers to Ukraine would lead to a direct clash with the Russian Federation. Sending NATO peacekeepers to Ukraine would lead to a direct clash between the forces of the alliance and the armed forces of the Russian Federation. This was stated on Wednesday

by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking at MGIMO. That's their national state diplomacy university. Our Polish colleagues have already stated there will be a NATO summit now. We need to send peacekeepers. I hope they understand what is at stake. This will be a very direct clash between the Russian and NATO armed forces, which everyone not only wanted to avoid, but said which should never have taken place in principle, he said. And so the Polish have suggested sending in NATO peacekeepers,

which would be a direct, you know, that would be a red line for the Russians. There'd be no question about that. Well, first of all, they're not going to be peacekeepers. Right. They're not going in to, you know uh restore law and order in a country that's had riots they're entering a war zone right and there's going to be a clash and the moment russian soldiers open fire on nato. World War III is on. And we're back to the nukes.

Right. Because that shooting is only going to last for a few hours, Doc. And we're going to be in the nukes. It won't take long. You're not going to hear about a shooting war between Russia and NATO for weeks and weeks and months. It's just going to go to nukes. Well, and Jen Stoltenberg, the future president of the Federal Bank of Norway there, said that Putin needs to stop these nuclear saber-rattling comments after the Kremlin spokesperson wouldn't rule out using nukes.

Well, you know, NATO won't rule out using nukes, so isn't that saber-rattling too? So on Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg urged Russia to stop nuclear saber-rattling amid its ongoing war against Ukraine. Russia must stop its nuclear saber-rattling. This is dangerous and irresponsible, Stoltenberg said during a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday. He added, we convey a very clear message to Russia that nuclear war cannot be won and it could never be fought. And yet NATO is moving nuclear weapons around all the time, including in the past week.

So how is Russia to respond to those moves? Jens Stoltenberger is very much responsible for this crisis that we have. He's played a very important role in driving Russia into this military operation in Ukraine. If we wanted peace and reconciliation between the nations, then Jens Stoltenberger would not have pushed Ukraine to be so defiant and NATO would not be in placing weapons on the Russian border and troops and bases and tanks and conducting drills.

What did he think was going to happen? He knows what was going to happen, what's happening right now. They're getting the very thing that they wanted. And it appears that the next thing that they want is a nuclear confrontation. NATO has, let's just say, not NATO, Western leaders, Western leaders like people in the CFR, have openly talked for the past decade or so, Doc, that the U.S. could easily win a nuclear war with Russia. They actually believe it. They have discussions.

They have seminars about it. They write articles about it in CFR foreign policy magazine. Well, the thing is, though, you don't get a do-over in a nuclear war. You don't get to go and say, oh, we messed that one up. Let's try it again. Yeah, two out of three. I mean, that's just not happening. But there are people that actually believe it's winnable. It's winnable for them, but it's not winnable for the populations of the countries impacted by it. The Pentagon ramped up things a little bit today in their

briefing by making it very clear or sending out the message that there would be a strong response from the u.s and its allies if russia dared to try nuclear biological or chemical warfare so watch this just uh separately jake sullivan um said to us yesterday that one of the aims of the visit was to come up with i'm not not directly quoting him, but essentially a unified response between America and the West as to what you might do if nuclear, chemical, biological weapons were used. Can we assume that that would be a red line beyond which we would see some form of military, direct military response? You can assume, as the President has said, that any use of chemical weapons would elicit

a strong response from the United States and our partners and allies. What does that mean, though? Again, you can assume precisely what the President has said, that it would be a strong response from our partners and allies. We've tried to be very clear about the gravity of the use of any such chemical weapons. These are agents that should never be employed and certainly not on the battlefield as we are concerned Russia might. So we have wanted to be very clear together with our allies and partners. And you can imagine that the president will be discussing this with his partners in Brussels in the coming days, that there would be a strong response from the international community were this to come to pass. You guys say whether that'd be military or not? Military response.

We will leave it as a strong response. Thank you very much. That was a staged question and a planned response, planned answer. He had that answer ready for the question. Yes. They needed a reporter to ask the question so the Pentagon spokesman could have an answer that would then be published in Moscow and back and forth we go so the in Stolenberg says stop rattling the saber and then we come over and then we're at rattle and then we rattle one on our end and so tomorrow Russia's going to rattle their swords tomorrow and this is going to continue until somebody takes one of their weapons out

and uses it. This is a dangerous path that we're on. You know, last night, I mean, I could barely listen to any news anymore. It's unbearable. It's hard.

It is disgusting. The propaganda is so thick. But the number of Republican Party and Democratic Party officials in Washington, both saying the deep state. We need a new no-fly zone. We've got to get more weapons to Ukraine. We've got to be ready to use nukes. Got to be ready for, yes, this is what's going on. Politicians are saying these things, and the public isn't reprimanding them. Even the ones that are paying attention to it, are not even having a reaction to it. Do you think they've just kind of given up a little bit? That they know their voices aren't being heard anyway, so why say anything at all?

So are we at a place now, Doc, that all of us are just saying, here comes, there's going to be a nuclear war. It's a done deal. It's going to happen. Is that where we're at right now? It sure feels like it, doesn't it? I mean, just the way you see people react to the stories. I mean, what a difference between now and 60 years ago when we were looking at a possible conflict with Russia over Cuba.

People were digging holes in the ground to hide from nuclear bombs. And so now it's like, well, I got something to do. I got to check up my location on Facebook. Yeah, they're paying attention to social media and not really, you know, discussing reality. And I see it among Christians, I see it among conservatives, among patriots. The people on the right who should know better are just as clueless as those on the left. Yes. They're all just like oblivious to what's happening around them. They're either oblivious to it or they're in favor of it.

In favor. Many of them are in favor of it. It's a itching for a nuclear war. Yes. Okay, so we'll change topics here from nuclear war and show you some of the other things that are happening in response to the conflict in Ukraine. I want to reiterate the old new world order that came into existence at the end of World War II,

the old new world order is now dead. It is a dead new world order. What they were calling the liberal world order. Yes. The liberal new world order has died. calling the liberal world order yes so the liberal new world order has died globalization has died we're in a fragmented world system right now most likely it's going to become more fragmented more regionalized more isolated it may be difficult to even travel to certain countries in the future. It's like an invisible iron curtain is going up.

Right. And this time it's not Russia putting up the iron curtain. It's the West putting up the iron curtain. Yes. It's a digital curtain. Yes. And whole nations like Russia are being deplatformed, canceled. This is a completely new world.

The COVID pandemic was the first stage of breaking down the existing world. This is now phase two. And I think a lot of people have not connected to two, this war in Ukraine with the COVID propaganda. The same people are running it. Now I'm not talking about Russia and Putin. They have responded to the bait. They took the bait. It got to the place where they couldn't ignore it anymore. But what is happening right now is that the deep state who gave us COVID, gave us the lockdowns, the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates, they're now giving you the war mandate, the hatred mandate, the bloodlust mandate. And people are falling for it. They're buying into it and you can't convince them.

The same people who were furious and angry about mask mandates and vaccine mandates are now wanting to see Russia destroyed. Yes. Within a matter of three weeks, the deep state got totally inside their head and flipped them, and they didn't even notice it. But I want to show you how this is affecting things. This next story is from Novasti News Service. Russia will transfer payments for gas supplies to Europe in rubles. Why is that important, Rick?

Well, the U.S. sanctioned Russia and said nobody can do business with Russia. The United States closed down or seized their cash reserves, their various reserves of gold and cash that Russia had stored outside of the territory of Russia. So Putin responded today by saying, if you want to buy our natural gas or our oil, we're not going to take dollars. Right.

Hey, we can't use dollars. The Western banks are closed to us. Right. The Russian banks are open, and we use rubles. You want Russian gas, you pay in Russian rubles. And he said exactly that. He said Russia will convert payments for gas supplies to unfriendly countries into rubles. Vladimir Putin said it makes no sense for us to deliver our goods to the European Union, the United States, and receive payment in dollars, euros, and a number of other currencies. Therefore, I decided to implement a set of measures to

transfer payments as soon as possible. Let's start with this from our natural gas to the transfer payment for our natural gas supplied to the so-called unfriendly countries for Russian rubles. That is to refuse to use all compromised currencies in such calculations, he said. So there's a major blow to the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. Biden's strategy has backfired, unless Biden's working for China, because China is the only country that's coming out of this mess looking good from their vantage point.

Right. A war between Russia and the United States and NATO only makes China stronger. You're exactly right. OK, so just keep that in mind. Mr. Biden may be carrying out Xi Jinping's instructions. And Xi is sitting over in Beijing watching Putin search for help and nobody helps him. And Biden just continues to turn the screws and China comes out on top

as the United States and Russia fight it out among themselves. So what you have today is if you want to buy Russian gas and oil, pay with Russian rubles. No U.S. dollars, no EU euros. It's rubles. And even if they were paying dollars and they can't put them in the bank. Right. Because they've all been sanctioned. Right. So it's of no use to them.

But, Doc, I remember another political leader who did something like this. Muammar Gaddafi. He said, if you want Libyan oil, pay with gold. We're not going to take any more Federal Reserve notes. We give you real oil, you give us real gold. Well, they killed Gaddafi. Right. NATO bombed Libya.

NATO. What was NATO's business in Libya? It's not on the Atlantic. No. So NATO bombed Libya and they killed Gaddafi because Gaddafi said two things i want gold for oil and number two i'm going to mint a gold-backed dinar we're going to have a coin that's made of gold real Yes. And the international banksters, of which Jens Stoltenberg is one of

them. He's going to work soon as the governor of the Bank of Norway. The international banksters said, well, Colonel Gaddafi, it looks like you've come to the end of the road. We're going to have to slaughter you. We're going to bomb your country with our NATO military force, and then we're going to have to slaughter you. We're going to bomb your country with our NATO military force, and then we're going to gut you like a deer. And that's what they did to him. And after all the things that he was accused of for decades, that was the thing that finally crossed the line for him. Yes.

They can handle anything else, but he messed with their money. When he messed with their money, they came after him. So now Putin today has messed with their money. When he messed with their money they came after him. So now Putin today has messed with their money. He's saying I don't want your dollars anymore. They're no use to me. So look the dollar is over now. The dollar is over as a global reserve currency. It's not going to go away tomorrow, but its position in the world has ceased to exist. There was a time when the French franc was the currency of the world. There's a time when the British pound ruled the world. And there was always going to be a time when the dollar ceased to rule the world too. Going back to Lavrov,rov doc he made a comment today in a speech that

that Russian leaders were surprised by the scale of the western sanctions right said Moscow was taken aback by the scale of the sanctions over the war in Ukraine Russian foreign minister said first time officials have admitted being unprepared for the Western response. When they froze the central bank reserves, nobody was predicting what sanctions the West would pass. Could have pictured that. It's just thievery. Sergei Lavrov told students at MZIMO, Russia's main foreign relations university. Do you really think they were caught that much off guard, Rick, by the depth of sanctions? I was surprised by this comment.

He said when they froze the central bank reserves, nobody who was predicting what sanctions the West would pass could have pictured this. So apparently they were surprised. But it's my view that the United States and the West had all the actions planned long in advance. I'm talking about the dominoes that fell quickly in a matter of weeks. Right. The sanctions, the seizing of assets, even down to the point of taking Putin's black belt away from him. I think they had it all planned. And that's what caught the Russian officials off guard. They deplatformed Russia in two weeks.

Do you think it's also caught the West off guard that Russia hasn't capitulated to those sanctions yet? Do you think the West is just as surprised? Oh, yeah, they're putting more sanctions. What else are they going to sanction, air? Well, 300 members of the Russian Duma were sanctioned today. So they're Congress. They're now putting sanctions on them. Are they going to steal their boats too and everything?

Yeah. So if they have bank accounts in other. Or they're going to steal their boats, too, and everything? Yes. Yeah. So if they have bank accounts in other countries, they're going to go after it. And sanction their families and everything else, too. Okay. Right. So there's no end to this. So when are they going to sanction the entire Russian population?

Because what else is left? I mean, there's not much left beyond this, is there? No. What else is left? I mean, there's not much left beyond this, is there? No, but you showed me an article the other day from Sovereign Man. It's like, okay, this is not satire. This is real. United States to bring back pirates to seize Russian yachts. If any of you have never been on the Sovereign Man side, I encourage you to do so. It's always got some great stories.

This is not an imaginary story at all. What's going on is there's actually a bill in Congress for the issuance of letters of mark and reprisal for the purpose of seizing assets of certain Russian citizens. Now, what is a letter of mark and reprisal? Basically, it's a permission slip given by the U.S. government to a private individual corporation to go out and steal something. It's kind of like a bounty hunter, except there is no bounty. You just go and grab the... Your bounty is whatever you get. Whatever you get.

It was the beginning of piracy in the late 1700s. And so in essence, the U.S. government is now bringing back piracy. Make piracy great again, is what they're saying. And they are actually in the process of considering and approving issuing letters of mark and reprisal for just certain Russian citizens at this point, obviously those oligarchs. You know, Rick, I think there might be American oligarchs that could be taking advantage of this too. And so the bill itself says the president of the United States has authorized and requested to commission under officially issued letters of mark and reprisal so many of privately

armed and equipped persons and entities, also known as privateers, which were pirates, in the judgment of the president, the service may require with suitable instructions to the leaders thereof, to employ all means reasonably necessary to seize outside the geographic boundaries of the United States and its territories in a yacht, plane, or other asset of any Russian citizen who is on the list, especially designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury. All right, leave this up. Let's go through this line by line. So if this becomes law, Joe Biden will be legally authorized to issue these letters to privately armed and equipped American citizens and corporations. about former U.S. commandos and private military contractors.

Yes. Okay? That's who's being, they're giving them legal permission to carry weapons and equipment Yes. and equipment that may require with suitable instructions the instructions coming from whom? From the President of the United States. To employ all means reasonably necessary

to seize outside the boundaries of the United States of America foreign land. Yes. International seas. Yes. outside the boundaries of the United States of America. Foreign land. Yes. International seas. Yes. And it's not limited to even real things, Rick.

The article that... Or other assets. Right. It can include digital assets. Yes. Bank accounts. Bitcoin. So if you're a hacker, you could, with the right letter of mark of reprisal, hack into the bank accounts of the 300 members of the Russian Duma and suck their accounts dry. Yes.

All in the name of defending democracy. And you would be protected by the United States government from any prosecution. And the way pirates earned their living in the past is that they handed over the assets to the federal government and the pirate received a portion of that back. If they happened to hand it over to the government, that is. Because sometimes it got lost in transit. So buried on an island somewhere or something like that. This is, this is. It's fascinating, isn't it? Boy, it's unbelievable that this is a law, a bill in Congress,

to legalize thievery against people who haven't done anything wrong. Yeah, all you have to do is end up on the list. You end up on the list because you're Russian. Yes. So if you're Russian, the U.S. government says, you're fair game, we're coming after you. Doesn't matter if you've broken any laws. Doesn't matter. We're just going to come after you. We're going to punish you.

What if somebody did that to Jewish people? Oh, there would be a tremendous outcry. I mean, there'd be dust flying. What if we just targeted Jewish people, just said, seize the assets of any Jewish citizen? Wherever, just on a special list though, Rick. But it would be wrong, Doc. Sure. It would be wrong to target Jewish people and say just because they're Jewish, you can seize their assets. Or how about black? Absolutely. Or Muslims, Arabs. I mean, are we just going to go seize the assets of Arabs?

This is outrageous. But this is the kind of war mania that's in the United States right now. You've got politicians who are trying to outdo other politicians. I want to come up with something more crazy, more outrageous than the other politician. Hey, we haven't had pirates in a while. Let's do that. We haven't had pirates since 1812. Let's bring that back. Yeah, it's crazy. All right, move on to another story. Yesterday, Financial Times in London reported that traders are warning of a looming global diesel shortage. Some interesting insights in this Financial Times article. We'll take a look at some of the quotes.

Right. Global markets face a squeeze on diesel, the world's top trading groups have warned, with Europe most at risk of a systemic shortage that could lead to fuel rationing. The heads of three of the largest commodity traders, Vatol, Gunvar, and Trafigura, estimated as much as 3 million barrels of oil and its products a day could be lost from Russia as a result of sanctions following the country's invasion of Ukraine. Corporate leaders were speaking at the FT Commodities Global Summit in Luson, Switzerland on Tuesday. The thing that everyone's concerned about will be diesel supplies. Europe imports about half its diesel from Russia and about half

its diesel from the Middle East, said Russell Hardy, chief of Switzerland-based oil trader Vitol. That systemic shortfall of diesel is there, and those Russian imports account for roughly 15 percent of Europe's diesel consumption, while crude oil, including supplies from Russia, is also processed by refineries on the continent. Now, they go on to say, this is Torben Tornquist, co-founder and chair of the Geneva-headquartered Gunther Group, added diesel is not just a European problem, this is a global problem. Emerita Sen, chief oil analyst at Energy Aspects, said that diesel is by far the worst effect of the oil products

because Europe imports close to one million barrels a day of Russian diesel and the world enters the conflict with nearly record low stocks of oil. Meanwhile, Jeremy Weir, chief executive of Singapore-based Trafigura, said that two to two and a half million barrels of Russian oil production would go missing from the global market, split between crude and refined products. The diesel market is extremely tight, and it's going to get tighter tighter. Turnquist also said European gas markets were no longer functioning properly as traders faced huge demands from banks for cash to cover hedging positions. I think it's broken. It really is.

He said, I never thought that somebody could say, ah, gas has fallen below 100 per megawatt hours and that's really cheap. Last week, Europe's largest energy traders called on governments and central banks to provide emergency liquidity support to keep gas and power markets functioning as sharp price moves triggered by the Ukraine crisis has strained dealings and commodities. Even here in the US, Rick, we're seeing reflections of that. If you drive by your local gas station,

you'll see gas at, let's say, $4 a gallon, but diesel's at $5. Yes. And they used to track pretty evenly. But here over the past couple of weeks, when we saw our big spike on just, you know, standard gasoline, diesel really shot up. And whereas, you know, regular unleaded has come back down in price a little bit, that diesel price has been stuck up at that amount.

And that's some of the reasons that we're seeing for that year. It could get a lot worse. Yeah, we're showing this to you because if you drive a diesel vehicle, you need to be prepared for very sharp increases in the price of diesel fuel and the real possibility of no diesel fuel at all. Again, the system is broken. Joe Biden, the ruling class of America, the warmongers, the NATO with Europe, they have broken the system. This, I don't know if it's going exactly the way they planned and hoped for.

I just know that here on our end, for you and me, we're going to feel the brunt of this. Even if it doesn't go to nuclear war, everything else is going to break up. There are going to be major shortages, rampant inflation, unlike anything we have seen, probably, you know, I mean, we're headed towards post-World War I German inflation. Or wheelbarrows and marks. That's where we're headed right now. And it has nothing to do with this war. That has to do with the unlimited printing of U.S. dollars and euros after the 2008 crisis.

So now they have a breakdown in the system, so they need a war to cover up the inflation, and that's what Joe Biden is doing. Hey, price is up because of Putin. No, they were up before the war. The war is covering up the mess that the world is in because of the banksters. Because think about this. If we weren't talking about Russia and Ukraine right now, what would we be talking about?

Definitely inflation and Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has dropped off the radar screen, didn't it? It peaked there for a moment. Now it's back off the radar screen, didn't it? It peaked there for a moment. Now it's back off the screen again. Even with the New York Times discovering the story. A couple more before we take a break. I'm not going to go into deep details. South China Morning Post.

Ukraine war is a test and a great opportunity for China to raise its profile. It's what I was saying earlier. China is going to come out ahead with this conflict between the United States and Russia. If they play it correctly, they're the winner because the U.S. and Russia will weaken each other. But not everything is rosy with China. Oilprice.com said Russia's invasion is crushing China's belt and road ambitions. And we're not going to go into this, but the article is very interesting.

You can read it yourself at oilprice.com. And it talks about the disruption that the war and the sanctions particularly the sanctions the sanctions put on Russia by the West has strongly deeply impacted China's Belt and Road because the Belt and Road Initiative is going through certain countries that are under sanctions, like Belarus. Yeah, I was surprised in the article we read that China had invested this huge amount of money, like $2 billion to create this rail hub in Belarus that now they're apparently just going to have to walk away from because of

the sanctions that are in place that there aren't sanctions on China and China is not worried about the sanctions but other nations aren't involved with Belarus now and that inhibits China's ability to further expand eastward into Europe so globalization is broken. The whole system has been cracked. A new, new world order will emerge. And the fight is on for which new, new world order is coming. There's no guarantee. Well, I guess we could say Satan, Satan's new world order. There's a fourth beast coming.

We don't know how soon that thing arrives. It appears that it's forming right now. We saw the past two years with the vaccine mandates that certainly look like the enforcement mechanism for the mark of the beast. So, you know, Satan is he's got his system that he wants to bring forth. But to say the New World Order is going to be of the West, of China, Russia, the Vatican, we don't know yet. What we do know is the old New World Order has officially died. That thing's done. The post-World War II New World Order is over. All right, this segment of True News is over. We'll take a break.

Hey, Doc, last night at home, I guess Susan and I, we arrived home sometime after six. And then, well, you know what it's like. You got a couple hours of sunlight in the evening. And there's always weeds to pull and flowers to plant. So Susan had me planting flowers last night again. And so after, anyhow, I got all that done,

and thank God for darkness, you know. You can put the shovel away. Hey, honey, I'd plant more, but it's dark, you know. So, you know, I went into the house. By that time, it's, you time, it's after 8 PM. So I was eating a late dinner after 8 PM, which is not good for your health, but that's what I was doing. And turned on the TV in the living room

and was watching Tucker Carlson as I was eating dinner. Okay. Well, I noticed something. Tucker started making some, you know, some snarky remarks about Hillary Clinton announcing that she had COVID. Nobody's rejoicing that she has COVID. I don't think he was.

I hope not. But where he was going with it is that Hillary praised the COVID vaccines. Right. It's so stupid. People that have COVID then praise the vaccine. People who've had COVID twice. Yes. I'm so grateful for the vaccine. People have had COVID twice. Yes. I'm so grateful for the vaccine.

Really? Or if it worked, you wouldn't have COVID. But anyhow, that's the line that they have to say. But as Tucker Carlson started to make his remarks about Hillary Clinton praising the vaccines, suddenly he was interrupted and Fox News went to a commercial break. I mean, it wasn't like he had to hurry up and say, we've got to take a break, we're going to commercials. It was in the middle of his sentence about Hillary Clinton and the vaccines. Now this is interesting, Rick, because both our researcher and I, we tried to find that today.

Okay. And what we're going to show you here is, after I show it to you, I'm going to ask you, is this what you saw last night? Okay. Because I'm wondering if they did it on purpose last night, but in their archives they've Okay, let me see. I haven't seen this video we're about to see. So this is Tucker Carlson last night talking about Hillary Clinton and COVID. Yes, we read Hillary Clinton's Twitter feed, and she had some big news today in case you missed it.

Quote, well, I've tested positive for COVID. I've got some mild cold symptoms, but I'm feeling fine. Now, can you guess what Hillary wrote next? Now, keep in mind, this is the most conventional person in human history. So she wrote the most conventional possible thing. It's the same exact strip that Barack Obama, Jen Psaki, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker all used when they had COVID. Here it is. Quote, I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines provide against serious illness.

Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already. I keep getting corona, but I'm really glad for the vaccine. But at this point, saying you have corona is like telling us you've got a UTI. Just keep it to yourself. Not that interested. We are interested in you, though. We're grateful you watch. We'll see you tomorrow night.

Best evening with the ones you love. And welcome to Hannity. Tonight we begin again with a Fox News alert. All right, so let me ask you, is that what you saw last night? No. No, that is not what went out on national television. Not at all. So they did a direct edit last night while he was talking.

Yes. So maybe 1% of the total viewing of that particular segment occurred online today. So that's what's online? Yes. That's not what went out on cable and streaming and satellite last night.

They cut him off in mid-sentence the moment he began to mock the vaccines. So they fixed it, didn't they? They did. So if anybody said, hey, they censored Tucker last night. They didn't. There it is.

Right there it is. No, I saw it. And my wife saw it, too. They censored it. Yeah, it was frustrating today because we were looking for it and we couldn't find what you had seen. And so let's run with what they're showing and then see if Rick saw something else.

And sure enough, he did. But that shouldn't be surprising. Of course not. Especially since we talked about propaganda last week. And if you understand that Fox News is a propaganda outlet, it makes life just a whole lot simpler for you. Doc, Joe Biden has his first

nominee for the United States Supreme Court, Katonji Brown-Jackson. The purpose of her nomination, according to Joe Biden, not me, according to Joe Biden, he said before he nominated her he would nominate a black woman right all right is that didn't he what is a woman. Then you're right. How do we know she is a black woman?

Yeah, how do we know? She doesn't know. Doc, she doesn't know. Think about it. Folks, if you think we're making this up, this is Fox News here. She doesn't know she's a woman. Brown-Jackson, Biden's Supreme Court pick, refuses to define the word woman. How about just saying, well, I'm not going to say it, but I mean, if you don't know if you're a man or a woman, how to define what is a man or a woman, you don't belong on the Supreme Court.

And she has two daughters, or I don't know if she has two daughters or not. Two biological beings. Right, who were formerly identified as women. Does she call them daughters? I don't know. Is it okay to call them daughters? I don't know anymore. We actually have the clip where Senator Marsha Blackburn,

you can see the look on Senator Blackburn's face as she just is floored by the response that a nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States can't define what a woman is. Watch this. Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can I provide a definition? Yeah. I can't. You can't?

Not in this context. I'm not a biologist. The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me a definition? Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law and I decide. So I'm not. The fact that you can't give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about. Just last week, an entire generation of young girls watched as our taxpayer-funded institutions

permitted a biological man to compete and beat a biological woman in the NCAA swimming championships. What message do you think this sends to girls who aspire to compete and win in sports at the highest levels? Senator, I'm not sure what message that sends. If you're asking me about the legal issues related to it, those are topics that are being hotly discussed, as you say, and could come to the court. And I think it tells our girls that their voices don't matter. second-class citizens, and parents want to have a Supreme Court justice who is committed to preserving parental autonomy and protecting our nation's children.

Boy, Perry Mason sure had it a lot easier, didn't he? He did. So, Doc, in the 60s, the left introduced feminism. And it was a radical doctrine that supposedly was to elevate the role of women. But it was a political agenda. Sure. The left is done with feminism. Wow, are they done with feminism.

Where are the feminists about this issue? They're done with women. Right. They will not say the word. You can't be a feminist. They will not say the word woman now. In fact, it takes a man to be a woman. That's it.

Like I said, where are the feminists on this issue? They were looking for equal rights for women in the workplace. That was their mantra anyway. Well, now they're getting beat out again by men. So it doesn't make any sense to me. Because the left's agenda is to break down Christian society. Yes. That's the agenda. Feminism was the first attack. Then now transgenderism is the second attack in sexuality. It's to break down Christian morality, Christian society.

But so now we have a, I can't, why should I say she's a black woman? Right, you can't say that anymore. Because she doesn't know if she's a woman. She can define woman so how does she know she's a woman and would it be offensive to say i'm nominating a black woman i would that's the point i'm making is joe biden said he was going to deliberately nominate a black woman i think he nominated a black biological being but she doesn't know she's a woman and the irony is he could have nominated a black man and the man could have worn dress he said he was a woman it could have been rachel levine. That's how crazy it is out there, folks. It's nuts. Yeah. America has gone insane. On the topic of the end of the world, let's take a look at a story out of Japan.

Ocean trench mega quake now seen as a very real threat. This is a Japanese newspaper in Tokyo. So the things that are happening right now is they're preparing for a mega quake. We're talking about nine plus and they're on target here within, they believe, sometime in very near future for something like that to happen. The government was urged to amend a special law in act in 2004 to prepare the public for a mega quake in either the Japan trench that is part of the Pacific Rim of Fire off northeast Japan or the Chishima trench that lies off Tokachi and Haikato and stretches to the Kuril Islands. A working group within the Central Disaster Prevention Council on March 22 released a

report on disaster preparedness measures that should be taken in an eventuality. Now, it said in December 2021, the Cabinet Office released estimates of fatalities from a megaquake in the Japan Trench or the Chishima Trench. Both trenches make up part of the seabed of the Pacific Ocean. The Cabinet Office projected up to 199,000 fatalities in the event of a magnitude 9 plus 9 9.1 mega quake in the Japan trench late at night in winter and said that around 22,000 people could be injured. It's estimated that 220,000 buildings could collapse causing $260 billion in economic

damage. It also projected up to 100,000 deaths if that same earthquake but of 9.3 magnitude hits the Chichima Trench. The council noted that towering tsunami pummeled Pacific coastal areas from Hokkaido to Iwate Prefecture every three to four hundred years and ranked the last time a related tsunami of devastating power of that magnitude hit was in the 1600s, suggesting the possibility of another one happening very soon. So we have an earthquake-tsunami cycle. And we're in that cycle right now. And there have been a number of earthquakes along the Pacific Rim just within the past two weeks. That's right.

So things are heating up once again. I'm going to jump down because of the hour. I want to finish up soon. I'm going to jump down to number 38. This is Charisma News. Experts say prophetic alarm bells are ringing for Gog and Magog

clash. As we're hearing a lot of talk about nuclear war, the Christian Zionists are also getting, they're becoming giddy with excitement that there's going to be this great war. They are convinced that it is Ezekiel 38, 39, Gog and Magog, which they attribute to Russia. And so these types of articles are appearing in a lot of prophecy news websites and Christian sites and newsletters in the past two weeks. And they're

excited about it. I mean, they're actually looking forward to this. So, Doc, I mean, we can't go through the entire chapters 38 and 39 in the minutes that we have but we'll show 38 Ezekiel 38 verse 2 right so if we put number 40 up

on the screen there this is the the verse as it reads in the King James at the top Ezekiel 38 2 2, it says, Son of man, sit thy face against God, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, and prophesy against him. And one of the linchpins of dispensationalism and rapturism today is the idea that there's going to be some sort of future war

between Russia and Israel. And they identify Russia based on this primary verse here, Ezekiel 38.2. And the key is in that word that's translated chief prince. That chief prince word is the word Rosh, R-O-S-H in Hebrew. And they make the transliteration that that Rosh is Russia because it also means red. And therefore, red is for Russia and things like that. Now, the King James translated that word chief priests of Meshach and Tubal, whereas some of the other modern translations, they say Prince of Rosh or like the American Standard Bridge, the Prince of Rosh or like the American Standard the Prince of Rosh. They get this because

of the imprint of dispensationalism that was brought on by Schofield, Mr. Schofield from his Schofield notes. Now in number 41 for our guys in control here, these are the notes that are on the verse Ezekiel 38-2 from Schofield's reference Bible. Now he says this, that the primary reference that is meaning there is the European powers headed up by Russia all agree

Gog is the prince, Magog his land. The reference to Meshach and Tubal, and he actually says Moscow and Tobolsk is a clear mark of identification. Russia and the northern powers have been the latest persecutors of dispersed Israel and is congruent both with divine justice and with the covenants that destruction should fall at the climax of the last mad attempt to exterminate the remnant of Israel in Jerusalem. The whole prophecy brings yet a future day of Jehovah. Now the reason why I bring

this up in this reference here, the Scofield Reference Bible, is the words Meshach and Tubal are not Moscow and Tobolsk. No, I don't agree. I don't believe that. I mean, I believe I'm in agreement with you. By the way, I brought out to the studio, this is an authentic 1909 first edition Schofield reference Bible. And I was able to obtain one of these. And the quote that Doc just read, it's right here in the chapter

38 of Ezekiel, and there are the Schofield footnotes right there, the exact words that he said, that the primary reference is to the northern European powers headed up by Russia all agree. Right. This is what Schofield wrote. So this is part of dipsyism, dispensational, pre-millennial, pre-tribulation Zionism. The same people that peddle the rapture and all these other doctrines, the third temple and all that kind of stuff. Seven years of tribulation uh the uh abomination of desolation in the in the temple you know in the last days all that kind of stuff this is all the same people

came from scofield and darby all right and and so when you hear this stuff being preached right now on television, maybe even your local church and you're getting it in prophecy newsletters, be aware where it's coming from. It's coming from Schofield. Right. And Darby. So if you hear someone say, wow, we're witnessing Ezekiel 38 and 39. This is happening in front of us and Russia is going to invade Israel. That is a flawed prophecy interpretation. And a disingenuous footnote too because you can actually go to the region

of Meshach. You can go to the region of Tubal. They are not Moscow and they are not Tobolsk. They're not either one of those places. As a matter of fact, that region is what we would today call the modern nation of Georgia. And you know, from there. And I can just imagine that during, from about the 30s to the 70s there, when Georgia was part of the Soviet Union and they said, look, it's in Russia. It's in Russia. It's those those that areas in Russia. Well, it's because the Soviets had taken

over that. Right. Well, they're not part of Russia now. In fact, Georgia is trying to get into NATO. OK, so would you say that NATO is going to attack Israel? Oh, no, no, no, no. We can't have that. Crutch that out, Doc. You can't have that at all. But that's the case you would have to make at this point. Yeah, it's the danger you have any time you try to take ancient words, names, places out of the Bible and make them fit with modern-day places and people

it's like trying to name the Antichrist and all this right it's based on the headlines of the day and this has been going on for 2,000 years Rick right I put up number 39 on the screen here so this is a little still chart I found in a book today and so shows various Gog and Magog candidates down through the years. So if you start in the 4th century, there's Goss in the 5th century, the Goss and the Moors in the 7th,

the Huns, Islam, the Hungarians, the Turks, the Tartars, the Lollards, or the persecutors of the Lollards, the dispersed tribes of Israel. Israel at one point was that. Back to the Turks again and back to Islam again and then throw the Pope in. At one point, the Native Americans, Rick,

were counted as Gog and Magog candidates. And up into the 20th century here, we got it right. I'm sure in the 20th century they got it right because all the others were wrong. A political leader and Russia, of course. So depending on the headlines, people read something into the prophecy that's there. I'm of the opinion that Ezekiel 38 and 39 were fulfilled long ago. That rocks some people's world and minds a little bit, too.

So when I see stories like out of Charisma today, and they're also a little disingenuous too. They say, well, we need to prepare for the Gog and Magog war. Well, true dispensationalists don't believe that we fight the Gog and Magog war until after the millennium, after a thousand years. Because it says in Revelation 20, verses 7 and 8, this is the verse they would use, and when the thousand years are expired,

Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go out to deceive the nations, which are in the four quarters of the world, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, the number whom is as the sand of the sea. And, Doc, in that one, I believe the reference to Gog and Magog, it's a metaphor for the enemies of God's people. Right, and because it's used.

Which would be the church. Yes. Gog and Magog would represent the forces on the earth in opposition to Christ's church. And in this very verse, if the dispensationalists would care to really read it, it defines where Gog and Magog is located. Where are they located, Rick? They're located in the four quarters of the earth. Oh, yes. They're all over the earth.

They're not one. They're not up northeast of Israel. They're everywhere. They're scattered throughout the world. So he shall go out to deceive the nations, which the nations are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog. Yes. The nations, the nations are Gog and Magog. That's right.

The nations that oppose God, oppose the church of Christ. Now, so if we play the dispensationalist game and say that the battle of battle of gog and magog occurs at the end of the thousand years why are we talking about it now yeah it's at least a thousand seven years away on their charts what do all dispensationalists believe it's at the end some of them think it's the battle of you know combined with the battle of armageddon but this verse disproves that if you follow their chart but some think the battle of armageddon and the battle of Armageddon. But this verse disproves that, if you follow their chart. But some think the battle of Armageddon and the battle of Ezekiel 38-39 are actually combined. Hey, put that Revelation scripture back up there.

So I'm an amillennialist, which I believe that we are in the millennial kingdom. It's been in existence since the ascension of christ that the the thousand years is a metaphor for an unlimited number of years in which christ rules from heaven in his church on earth right that's my interpretation of the millennial years. So based on that doc, when the thousand years are expired which would be according to an amillennius, it would be just before the time of tribulation and the second coming. Right. Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. That's exactly what I believe. I believe he's already been loosed. That's why we're seeing. I believe he's already been loosed.

That's why we're seeing so much evil. And he shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. To battle whom? To battle Almighty God, not to fight the state of Israel. Right. The dispensationalists tell you that the nations are going to gather to fight the State of Israel and Jesus Christ will come back to stop them. That's not what the Bible says. No. They gather to fight God. Yes.

Gog and Magog in Revelation 20, which happens to be the same scriptures that mention the thousand years. Right. Okay. Gog and Magog are representing the nations of the world that fight God. So another disqualifier for the dispensationalists is they would say that the thousand years are literal and Gog and Magog are literal. Okay. Mm-hmm. and Gog and Magog are literal. Okay? Whereas John himself said in the very first chapter of Revelation, these are pictures, these are images,

these are to tell you the truth about things that are happening. Images of things that are real. Right. So, you know, if you let the Bible just kind of speak for itself, it solves a lot of riddles for you. As I mentioned before, I don't think Ezekiel 38 and 39 are yet to be fulfilled. They've already been fulfilled. We can talk about that some other time.

The reference to Gog and Magog in Ezekiel. Right. So that means the reference to Gog and Magog in Revelation is a separate thing. It's a phrase that the audience that John was writing to in the first century understood completely. Gog and Magog, those guys are the enemies of God. Yes, there you go. Now you got it. And they understood that completely. Yeah, we're in agreement. That's the way I see it.

So folks, just pray for discernment on these things. Because when you see headlines, is this the Gog and Magog war? Or what are the 10 things you should do to get ready for the rapture or things like that? Hey, just folks, just be prepared. Be prepared, but be discerning about the things that you read. Doc, you said a while ago, we don't have time to go into this in detail, I'll just toss this out and let you chew on it

for a while. Maybe we'll talk about it another day, but you said that on a modern map, where those places would be, would be modern Georgia.

Right. In Europe. Okay. In ancient times, what other kingdom occupied that general area? Well, it's funny you should mention that, Rick, because from about the 400s to sometime in about the 1200s, there was a kingdom they extended from about where Georgia is, a little further south than that into Turkey, all the way across the top of the Black Sea into Ukraine today.

And that was the Khazarian kingdom, Khazars, where the Ashkenazi came from. So Gog and Magog could be, in ancient times, they could have represented the Khazars. And there are people who studied the scriptures in the past that have made that suggestion that Gog and Magog, in fact, there are direct quotes in historical documents that called the people from Khazar who live in the land of Gog and Magog. There's also historical records that refer to people in that general area many centuries ago as cannibals, that they were so evil they drank blood, they ate babies, they did all kinds of wicked evil things. Oh and I've got to

read this to you because this is in Ezekiel 39, 17 and 18. Okay. Because it relates right to that. When you said that, I read that today. And thou said a man, thus saith the Lord God, speak unto every feathered fowl, every beast of the field, assemble yourselves, come, gather yourselves on every side for my sacrifice. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth. And when you said that about the flesh eaters in history from that region of the country, where Georgia and Ukraine are today. They were flesh eaters.

They were baby eaters. They were blood drinkers. And that's where the Nazis were so powerful. My, my. Hey. We could talk all day on this, folks. All right. Doc will not be here tomorrow, right?

Yes. Taking a few days off. Three days. Thursday, Friday, and Monday. I'll be here. I'm sure things won't collapse. Things won't collapse. We'll be here.

My son, Jeremy, will be here. I hope. He promised me he'll be here. My son Jeremy will be here. I hope. He promised me he would be here. But we'll definitely be here Thursday, Friday, and next Monday. Pray for Doc and his wife to have a nice, safe trip together. And they're visiting some family. And Doc will be back here on Tuesday. I'll be back here tomorrow.
