Alaska's Republican U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan recently revealed that the U.S. Air Force was denied permission to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon before it reached North America. Senator Sullivan made the public disclosure while speaking at a conference sponsored by the Hudson Institute.

News of the senator's public revelation was first reported by London's Financial Times. Doc Burkhardt is here with me to discuss today's world news, and we will start with the Financial Times report. Pentagon denied early request to shoot down Chinese balloon claims. Senator Doc, this is the first time I've heard this amazing revelation. Yes, another piece of the puzzle unfolding here. The Pentagon denied a request from the Air Force in Alaska to shoot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon last month before it flew across North America.

And that's according to the state's Republican Senator. Dan Sullivan, an Alaska lawmaker and Senate Armed Services Committee member, said the 11th Air Force, which is based in his state, had sought permission to shoot it down after F-22 and F-35 fighter jets tracked the balloon from far away before it entered North American airspace over the Aleutian Islands on the 28th of January. So now another piece of this is coming together here. According to earlier reports, we had tracked the balloon from China, all the way from China. And that means it flew up to Alaska. And then the Air Force in Alaska, having not been told that there's a Chinese balloon coming or something

entering their airspace, was going to activate, or had actually asked for permission to shoot the thing down. You mean like doing what they're paid to do? Right. You protect North American airspace. Like, hey, there's a big object in the sky that has a 2,000

pound satellite-like structure with cameras, and it's coming across Alaska. And the U.S. Air Force in Alaska contacted the Pentagon and said, we want to shoot this thing down. Lloyd Alston and Mark Milley denied the request. There needs to be accountability. What was the justification for denying the request to shoot it down before it reached Alaska? And according to Senator Sullivan, and we'll have the sound bite here in just a moment, there were other objects too. Yes. Okay, so we're going to play several minutes of

his speech and you'll hear you'll hear him say that the request was denied but you'll also hear him say that the air force in alaska was tracking other objects here is the the video from the huston Did the Chinese spy balloon flew over Ford Greeley in Alaska? So I was tracking this quite closely. By the way, I want to give an example of the U.S. military in Alaska. There's a lot of talk about a woke military, and of course, I don't believe in that. There's problems with regard to the Biden civilian leadership. Some of our uniformed military leadership has kind of fallen to that temptation. I'm not sure why.

But I will tell you, the average soldier, marine, sailor, airman, coast guardman, guardian, they're warriors, right? We should be proud of them. In Alaska, our 11th Air Force tracked that first spy balloon from far away. We went up and intercepted it with our F-35s and F-22s. By the way, in Alaska we have over a hundred fifth-gen fighters, F-22s and F-35s stationed in Alaska. No place on the planet Earth has more than 100 supersonic stealth fighters like we do. We tracked it.

NORTHCOM, our Alaska commanders, requested permission to shoot it down. It was denied. I'm not sure that's public, but it's a fact. And it floated over the Aleutian Islands, then came back through central Alaska. It was probably, I'm almost positive, it was north of Fort Greeley, where

we have our ground-based missile interceptors that protect the whole country. And I believe it was north of some of our radar systems that also protect the whole country in terms of missile defense, again, because we're so important. But just very quickly, because I like to brag about our military. In addition to that, the young men and women in Alaska's

military tracked several, and it wasn't just a couple, several of these smaller balloons that were coming in over the around the same time. So the Biden administration has been not truthful on that issue. I know this is a fact as well. Frustrating because I've been trying to get them to be truthful to the American people. We scrambled and intercept, tried to intercept those. We shot down two of those. We then launched a very difficult recovery mission to go find them in 55 below zero, all dark, flying on NVGs, helicopters, C-130s. Then the Russians decided

to probe us, and we had two different bear bomber SWARTIs with fighters that came into our AIDAs in Alaska. We went up and intercepted those guys, turned them away, go back to Russia, all within three weeks. These are really tough missions. These are really complex missions. A lot of time flying at night on NVGs. You have to be re-tanked, you know, several tanker missions to get refueled. Our men and women, young men and women in their 20s did all that. So we got the best damn military in the world by far. And China sees that and they should be scared. Should they, Rick? Should they be scared? No, because they have generals and civilians in the Pentagon that had been bought off with Chinese money. And they're willing to put young men and young women on the line in order to fulfill whatever weird agenda that they've got in order to be fulfilled.

So, Doc, this Senator, Senator Sullivan, his public revelation, which should be news everywhere, this came out last Friday in London. I didn't see it till today. I didn't see one news outlet in America that reported what the Financial Times in London reported last Friday. Right. But with this revelation,

Secretary Austin, Secretary of Defense, and General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And I also believe the commanders at NORAD, the U.S. Air Force, we need public explanation why they allowed this massive Chinese spy balloon to enter North American airspace and then come down from Alaska over Canada and then over the United States, over top our nuclear installations.

They tried to make it sound in the beginning like it got us by surprise. Right, and remember, it was civilians that discovered it. Yes. Oh, we see a balloon out here. But the truth is the U.S. Air Force in Alaska saw it coming and wanted to shoot it down. They wanted to do what they're paid to do, what they're trained to do, stop dangerous objects from entering American airspace.

And the Pentagon said no. We need an answer. Why did they say no? That's the heart of the question here, isn't it? There are only a couple explanations for it. They either wanted it to come over. What's the other one? What's the other one?

The only other explanation, we're so inept at the Pentagon, we don't know what the left, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand's doing. But I can't believe that because now we know that the Air Force in Alaska

had the balloon in their sights. They could shoot it down. Do we have permission to shoot it down? No, we just got word from Pentagon. Let that thing keep flying. So now we need an explanation from Milley and Austin. I think it goes all the way to the White House. I mean, ultimately it does one way or the other.

Beijing Biden? But something is definitely stinky here in a big way. You know, I listen to news programs when I'm traveling, you know, sometimes a little bit at night, I hear television and radio news talk show hosts act like they're just stumped, like they're confounded. Like, I just can't understand why, why the White House allows this to happen. Why, why does the Pentagon act like they didn't know what to... Why can't you bring yourself to say the obvious?

China owns Biden. China owns Biden. It's just that simple. The FBI has had the evidence for years, which means China owns the FBI. They own the Justice Department. They've had Hunter Biden's laptop since 2019 with all the evidence on it of the Biden family doing business with the China Communist Party, they've done nothing.

The only thing that they've done is go after the people who investigated the Bidens. So that tells me the FBI belongs to China. And the whole story on the Chinese spy balloon wouldn't have been a story at all if civilians hadn't spotted it. That's right. If civilians had not spotted it and reported it, that balloon would have just gone on and no one would have known anything about it. Wouldn't have talked about, we wouldn't have had a spy balloon story at all, would we? No. So we didn't know about this last week. So next week, what's going to be the next revelation we're going to learn?

Because it seems like every several weeks drip drip it's a drip of more revelation about this chinese spy balloon the evidence is obvious that china has purchased high level american officials you're being bought off you're being taken over quietly slowly you're being bought off. You're being taken over quietly, slowly. You're being absorbed into the China Communist Party. We have politicians in this country, major Democrats, that act like they're shills for the China Communist Party. You have people at the highest levels of news networks who are shields for the Communist Party of China. The China money has reached into every sector of American society. And another five years of this, we're done.

We're done. Ten years from now, Doc, there will be Chinese Communist Party members elected to the U.S. Senate. I wouldn't doubt it at all at this point. And they'll be on Fox. And there'll be people on Fox News saying, I just can't figure out how that CCP member

won that Senate seat. No, they'll have them on as commentators. Right, well, no. They'll be on CNN and MSNBC. We got some World War III news. There's a German arms manufacturer that wants to build a tank factory in Ukraine.

Yes. So Brian Medla, a German arms giant, is in discussions with Ukraine's government about building a tank factory there. That's according to Armin Popperger, the company's CEO. Rheinmetall produces weapons and ammunition such as Leopard 2 tanks, which Germany provided to Ukraine back in late January. And they also produce the KF-51 battle tank. And it's based in Dusseldorf. Poppiger informed media outlets that a factory

with a capacity to generate up to 400 Panthers per year could be constructed in Ukraine for an estimated $212 million. When queried if it could be hazardous to create an arms manufacturing plant in a war zone, he replied, no, setting up anti-aircraft defense wouldn't be hard. He was confident that the West needed to extend more military aid to Ukraine. He expressed the Ukrainians do not have the resources at present for completely reclaiming their land. Russia may not possess as many means as the Western world does, yet I haven't noticed that the administration around Putin has shown any signs of yielding from its aggressive policy toward Ukraine. What I found so fascinating about this particular article and this quote, Rick, that we read is that, yeah, we can build a factory there. Don't worry, we've got anti-aircraft guns that'll take care of us.

Well, who's supplying those things? Well, obviously, the West would supply that too to the Patriots, aren't they? Yes. And we already went down this road about Germany supplying the, well, they're going to be coming in via Poland. Right. And we'll be talking about that here in a few minutes. We'll have some pictures for you. Now, Mr. Medvedev, Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia and deputy of basically the war council in Russia, had something to say about this as well. He said the news about plans by Rheinmetall to build a tank factory in Malorossiya, the city in Ukraine, looks like Kiev regime's primitive trolling.

If Krauts, he called them Krauts, still go on with it for real, they're very welcome. The decision should be greeted with fireworks by Calibres and other Russian pyrotechnic devices. He always has a turn of phrase, but the fact that he's calling them Krauts, I thought that was fascinating. We're back in World War II. Yeah, we're fighting the Krauts.

The Russians are fighting the Krauts. And he promised them fireworks. So what do you think is going to happen to that German tank factory? It won't be standing very long. Why would the Germans think that they can build a tank factory in a war zone?

Isn't that a sign of mental illness? They've got anti-aircraft guns, right? Isn't that a sign of mental illness? You're going to construct a tank factory. In a war zone. And think that it's going to

survive. And it's not going to attract missiles. Or tactical nukes. To me, it is a sign of mental illness. What went on in that meeting? Did anybody raise their hand in the meeting at Ryan Meadow and say, you know, this isn't going to work?

They might shoot at us while we're building the factory. It just shows you how mentally deranged the Western leaders are. Speaking of deranged. Yes, the next one, this comes from the Russian site Sputnik. Large amount of

purported U.S. military hardware spotted at Polish port. So all that military gear tanks armored vehicles so forth that's all American military equipment and here we go here's a video and so this video apparently showing a large amount of US military equipment in the Polish port of Ginnia has been shared on Twitter in the Polish port of Gdynia has been shared on Twitter. In the footage, which was also published by Latvian Twitter outlet,

an array of U.S. tanks, armored personnel characters, military trucks are seen at the port. It's just incredible the massive amount of equipment that's at the port, Rick. And there are obviously American vehicles that have been shipped there to Poland. Well, the official explanation is that this is equipment that was used for a military exercise and that it's headed back to Europe, to U.S. military bases, you know, in occupied Europe. You know, the United States still occupies Europe

since World War II. Well, that was a massive amount of equipment. But it just happens they brought it in and put it in Poland. Which is a convenient place for it to be. Do you think a major offensive into

Ukraine or Belarus, could this be why Mr. Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, is worried? That he's thinking the soldiers are going to get in those tanks and trucks and armored vehicles and drive across the Belarusian border? Well, if he's seeing this video like we've seen it today, he has to be asking that question at least, right? What are the intentions of these military vehicles?

I mean, if we saw that many military vehicles parked across the border from El Paso, wouldn't we be worried? Wouldn't we at least ask the question, hey, what's going on with all this military equipment we've got gathered down here south of the border? Things that make you go, hmm, right? That's what people would say. What makes me go, hmm, right? That's what people would say. What makes me go, hmm? There are thousands of military vehicles across the border.

It's like we've lost our ability to think and to comprehend and reason. It's an invasion force. For heaven's sakes, look at what's being done. The West has moved all that equipment into Poland, and it's going to move towards Russia. And the Russians know it. It's the NATO invasion force. Let's see if it leaves Poland. If it does, we're wrong.

All right? We'll say so. But my gut instinct is, it's not moving towards Germany and France, it's moving towards Belarus and Russia in a massive invasion force for this spring. But the Russians are looking at it, the Belarusians are looking at it, and they're bracing for an invasion.

And if that stuff starts moving their way, they're going to be tactical nukes used to stop it. You're right. Because Russia's going to fight for its survival. And once again, we're not rooting for Russia with that. We're just saying that this is what Russia is thinking. They're looking at the same things that you're looking at. And if you had that threat going against your own country, you'd do everything you can to stop it, right?

I've got a question, Doc. Why was the Pentagon able? They had a big exercise. And all that equipment was used for that. I mean, they had to move all that equipment to the location for the exercise. So they're returning it. Massive logistics

operation. Why didn't they do it in Afghanistan? What do you mean? They left behind all that gear. Oh, I understand what you're saying. They left it all behind in Afghanistan. They acted like they didn't know what to do with it. Oh, we'll give it to China.

Oh, that's a great question. Biden gave it to China. He gave a military base to China. He gave billions of dollars worth of U.S. military equipment to China. And what was the argument about leaving the equipment there? What was the argument? That it was going to cost too much to ship all that back. Well, I served during Desert Storm.

I didn't serve in Iraq, but I served in Panama. And we received military vehicles back from Iraq. That was the processing area. Panama was for all the vehicles coming back out of Iraq. They had to be refurbished, cleaned. I guess they'd get all the chemical weapons off of it too.

We can find out later before they get transported to the US. They couldn't transform directly to the US. They couldn't transport them directly to the US because of EPA rules, but they could transport them to Panama and then ship them to the US. So anyway, don't tell me that they can't ship vehicles because we saw thousands of vehicles come from Iraq through Panama.

Well, they got them there. Right, and they got them back. They came back to the US through Panama. I know, I was in Panama. I touched the trucks. I know that they were real. But Biden gave the equipment to China because Biden is owned by China. Right. And that's why I know this story on these vehicles parked at the port there in Poland. It's a made-up story. They could have easily, I mean, easily have already distributed these vehicles to the other nations. There's nothing to prevent that now. This is a staging operation. And, Doc, for them to say it costs too much to ship them back,

talking about Afghanistan, it costs too much to ship it back, the U.S. has dropped nearly $50 billion into Ukraine in one year. Don't tell me that the Pentagon counts pennies. Since when has the Pentagon, since when did the Pentagon become frugal? They've never been frugal. And so for them to say something costs too much no you were told to leave the equipment do you think the taliban went out into afghanistan and gathered up all that equipment and remember rick from the story we covered last week we've already spent more money in ukraine

than we did in 20 years in afghanistan that's right okay let, let's move on. So we've got this video of all this U.S. military equipment in Poland. So now the next one is the Russian side. This is the naval news in America. Russian ship loaded with military equipment enters the Black Sea. Right. So this is coming from naval News. As Rick said, a fresh shipment of military equipment appears to have slipped into the Black Sea for delivery to a Russian base. The Russian government-linked ship, the MV Sparta IV, passed through the Bosphorus

during the hours of darkness. It was not unnoticed her voyage had been tracked by defense analysts, and her passing was photographed by respected ship spotter and defense expert Yurik Isik. His photographs provide valuable information adding to or confirming other sources. Now the Bosphorus Straits, which run through Istanbul and our Turkish sovereign waters, is closed to warships due to the war in Ukraine. Russia is instead using auxiliaries and merchant vessels to move war supplies through the straits.

Now, naval news has seen evidence which indicates that this latest ship is carrying military vehicles or other war supplies. She is expected to unload in Novorossiysk, a base heavily involved in the invasion of Ukraine. Remember, this is a U.S.-based

outlet in that shading there. Yes, so what we're doing here is giving you the latest World War III news. This is what we know has happened in the last day or two. But World War III is underway. And large amounts of war fighting equipment, ammunition are being moved about

and being positioned for a bigger war that is coming. This next one is Reuters. This actually goes back into late February. I missed this story. Russia starts pumping Kazakh oil to Germany, flows to Poland, halt it. I miss this, dog. Russia cut off oil to Poland.

Right. And it's delivering oil, Kazakhstan oil, to Germany. Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft said on Monday, this was the end of February, that it had started pumping oil from Kazakhstan to Germany via Poland through the Drozdba pipeline while halting deliveries to Poland. Now, Kazakh oil pipeline operator KazTrans Oil said earlier Monday it had shipped 20,000 tons of crude to Germany via Russia's Drozdba pipeline.

Well, don't tell anybody you might blow up that pipeline. But the kraut, and Ivanov calls them the krauts now. We've reached a stage where he's calling them the krauts. The Germans are building a tank factory in Ukraine, but Russia's selling them oil. Right. Well, Kazakhstan oil anyway. Right. One more story before we run out of time in this first half of True News. This is from Taipei Times. China may test Taiwan's 24 nautical mile limit. Right, so there's an upcoming story that Kevin McCarthy may be visiting Taiwan,

and Beijing could use a potential visit by him next month as a pretext to break into Taiwan's territorial sea baseline of 24 nautical miles and get close to its territorial space. And that's coming from Minister of National Defense Xiu Kuo-ching said yesterday. Xiu made the remarks in response to questions by Chinese Nationalist Party legislator Johnny Chang regarding China intensifying its threats by sending more military vessels and aircraft near Taiwan's territorial space or by crossing that median line of the Taiwan Strait. China has continued to operate military vessels and aircraft around Taiwan. He said, quote, Beijing has been looking for excuses such as visits from high-ranking officials from abroad and frequent military exchanges between Taiwan and other countries to intensify the military threat, he said.

It is constantly adjusting the size of its forces, waiting to respond whenever a situation calls for military action. Now, the Taiwanese military is prepared for any possible military response from China should McCarthy visit Taiwan next month, adding that Beijing is likely to take more serious action than it did after a visit by then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in August last year. Now, Beijing could, without warning, break into territorial sea baseline of 24 nautical miles and approach our territorial space of 12 nautical miles, we would restrain ourselves from launching the first strike to avoid giving China an excuse to attack Taiwan, he said. However, this does not mean that the military has retreated its deep defense line to 12 nautical miles, he said. China has changed the status quo of the Taiwan Strait by flying drones, aircraft, and balloons over our airspace.

We would be forced to respond should Chinese military vessels and aircraft come near or enter the nation's airspace and territorial waters, even in disputed areas. Okay, so now, Doc, this next report, this came out late today. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has canceled his trip to Taiwan. Right. Because he does not want to do the very thing that's in this article, which is to give the Chinese military the opportunity to move in closer to Taiwan. Because that's what happened with Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi's visit actually resulted in Taiwan

coming even closer to war with China. So Mr. McCarthy today announced that he would meet with the Taiwanese president in Washington rather than him flying to Taiwan. Well, using their logic from before, did the Chinese win this argument? Yes. They've won both. That's right. They've won both arguments. So whether he goes or he stays, either way, China ends up looking stronger in this. Once you go down that road of trying to be the tough guy,

you got to always be the tough guy because if not, the big guy looks weak. And that's where we're at right now. Hey, we're running out of time. If you're watching us on the Word Network, you can watch the second half at truenews.com or the True News app. If you're watching us online, just hang in there for a couple seconds. We'll be back right after this break. Okay, we will continue World War III. The next one is Fox News and the headline, Russia and Iran's secret nuclear deal would allow uranium transfers to Tehran's illicit weapons program. Should we remind our audience where Russia got its uranium in the first place? Through the Clintons.

Remember those deals? Yes, but that would imply that we have traitors in our country. Right. So what could be a major setback to a new Iran nuclear deal? Foreign intelligence sources speaking on the condition of anonymity and who are familiar with the negotiations between Moscow and Tehran over Iran's reported illegal nuclear weapons work, told Fox News Digital that Russian President Putin agreed to return enriched uranium

that it received from Iran if a prospective atomic deal collapses. The State Department would neither confirm nor deny these reports. Now, one major component of the effort by the U.S. and other world powers to revive the JCPOA, that's the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, that's the formal name of the Iran nuclear deal, is for Russia to warehouse Tehran's enriched uranium. Now, the rationale for Russia storing the uranium is to prevent the regime from using the material to construct an atomic bomb. Now, foreign intelligence sources claim, as part of the agreement between the two countries,

Russia has undertaken to return all the enriched uranium to Iran as quickly as possible if, for any reason, the U.S. withdraws from the agreement. Okay, and who is the number one country pushing the U.S. to withdraw from the agreement? Israel. Israel wants the U.S. out of the agreement. And so Russia, under that agreement, remember Obama's Iran deal, okay?

So that's what this is all about. So that deal that Obama worked out supposedly prevented Iran from building nuclear weapons. In that deal, Iran agreed to ship their uranium to Russia. For storage. For storage. Russia agreed to put it in a vault, put it in a segregated vault and say, we've got all your uranium over here.

That was part of the deal. Doesn't that sound like Russia was being the responsible leader in the world? And was part of the JCPOA. Yes, it was part of it. So Netanyahu and Mossad are pressuring Biden to get rid of Obama's deal. Remember, they got rid of it under Trump. Right.

And then when Biden came in, they brought it back. But now they're trying to get them to get rid of it again. So what the story is saying is, it sounds like on the surface, you look at the headline, oh my gosh,

Russia's going to give uranium to Tehran. It's their uranium. And then you read the story and you go, wait a minute. Russia was the responsible person here that did the U.S. a favor by saying, we'll take the uranium, we'll store it, and we'll give an accounting, an audit for it. But if there's no agreement, then what are we doing holding the uranium?

It doesn't belong to us. It belongs to Iran. It belongs to Iran. So we'll just send it back. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's being spun in the propaganda machine as Russia is going to supply uranium to Iran so Iran will build nuclear bombs to destroy Israel. And it's Israel that's trying to get President Obama to get Biden

to cancel the agreement. You know why? They want the war. They need this to happen to justify the attack. So are you telling me, Rick, that all these times where they say we're only 12 days away from Iran having a nuclear weapon, they don't even have uranium right now. No. It's probably 12 days to get

from Russia back to Iran. That's probably what the 12 days is all about. They don't tell us that part. But Israel needs the excuse to blow up Iran. You would think Israel would want this agreement to stay in place. To protect itself from Iran. But it doesn't want to protect itself from Iran.

It wants an excuse to blow up Iran. That's what it's all about. Next story. I saw this in the South China Morning Post. The billionaire investor Mark Mobius said, I can't get my money out of China.

Mr. Mobius, why did you put your money in China? And he gets asked that question in a clip that we'll share here in just a few moments. Billionaire investor Mark Mobius told Fox Business he cannot take his money out of China due to the country's capital controls, cautioning investors to be very, very careful about investing in an economy under a tight government grip. He said, quote, I have an account with HSBC in Shanghai.

Mobius, founder of Mobius Capital Partners, told Fox Business in an interview published on the 2nd of March, I can't take my money out. The government is restricting flow of money out of the country. Here's another American billionaire who's been doing business with the China Communist Party and making the China communist system bigger and more wealthy.

And now he can't understand why they're acting like communists and they're confiscating his money. What's up with this? So this is a conversation with Maria Bartiromo. This is Mark Mobius and Mobius Capital Partners talking about I can't get my money. Have you lessened your exposure to China as a result of these provocations that we talk about every day, Mark? Well, you know, I'm personally affected because I have an account with HSBC in Shanghai. I can't get my money out.

The government is restricting the flow of money out of the country. So I would be very, very careful investing in China. What we're doing is going into Hong Kong, which seems to be a little more open and able to get money in and out. But putting money into China, I think you have to be very, very careful. So they won't allow outflows right now. So you can't get you.

I mean, that's that's significant, Mark. It is. It's very significant. I can't get an explanation of why they're doing this. It's just amazing. You know, they're putting all kinds of barriers. You know, they don't say, no, you can't get your money out but they say give us all the records from 20 years of how you made this money and so forth wow it's crazy and the irony there is fox business news is on the other side of the of the screen they're showing the the chinese stock market right and telling you invest yes buy these stocks they don't ask the question hey where are all these missing chinese ceos at where's jack ma he'd seen jack ma in a while uh all the rest of these listen it's like moby's ought to be glad it's only his money that's missing

because if you're a chinese billionaire you might might be missing. That's right. All right, Doc. Next one. I'm not going to spend much time on this one. CNN. CNN boss ordered staff not to chase down the COVID lab leak theory. Well, this is the old CNN. When Jeff Zucker was in charge, apparently they tried to put the kibosh, that's not surprising on the lab leak story, which has now been confirmed by the FBI, by the energy department,

and by others that said it's a lab leak. But what we know now is that it was official CNN policy that CNN reporters and talk show hosts could not mention it unless that they were mocking it and saying that if you believed it came from Wuhan, you were conspiracy theorists. If you didn't say that, you were not allowed to say anything on CNN during those two years. The Communist News Network. the communist news network they were shills for china we're back to the same topic cnn is a shill for communist china and and people people act like they're surprised like well why would they do that because they're shills for communist China. You've been taken over.

Honestly, I don't know how much time we have left as a country. I really don't know. Because when it's reached this point, Doc, that the president of the United States is a paid agent of the Chinese Communist Party, and his son is a prostitute for the CCP, and the FBI knows it, and they don't do anything about it, and the Justice Department knows it, and they don't do anything about it. And the American public. Knows it, and they don't do anything about it. And the Justice Department knows it and they don't do anything about it. And the American public. Knows it and they don't do anything about it. Right. And the newspapers know about it and they don't do anything about it.

When it's that bad, how much time do you have left? When does the country just become Chinese? We're Chinese light now. We're Chinese light. And they were implementing the China way during the COVID pandemic scare. That was the China way. They introduced a credit score. That's right. Okay. The social credit score. How did they do that? They censored people. They deplatformed people for saying the wrong thing

they did the mass mandates the vaccine mandate they did everything this country was acting just like china and we have we have politicians that there are still some areas i think california just last week ended the covet mandates yes it's like. What planet are you on? You're telling me the people in California were still wearing masks? Are they aware? Folks, if you were in California, are you aware that the rest of us

had been free of that nonsense for two years? Some of them several years. Are there still school systems making children wear masks? There probably are. I know that there are some colleges that students are still wearing masks, still have a vaccine mandate. All these places are working for communist China.

They've been indoctrinated and they have been brought into the system. That's the state that we're in. And don't think it's only the Democratic Party. China owns some Republicans also. Oh, wait till you hear this next one. I got this one out of Times of Israel. Israeli tech sleuths uncover pro-Trump bot network swarming presidential rivals. If this is true, and I just read it about two hours ago, well, let's read it and then I'll tell you what I think about it. Okay. So now according to the Times of Israel, over the past 11 months, someone created thousands of fake automated Twitter accounts,

perhaps hundreds of thousands of them, to offer a stream of praise for Donald Trump. Now, besides posting adoring words about the former president, the fake accounts ridiculed Trump's critics from both parties and attacked Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U. and UN ambassador who is challenging her one-time boss for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Now, the sprawling bot network, I like the way they're wording this, was uncovered by researchers at Zebra, an Israeli tech firm that shared its findings with the Associated Press. They called up the AP and said, we've got some information for you. While the identity of those behind the network of fake accounts is unknown, Siaber's analysts determined that it was likely created within the U.S.

They, for instance, say one account will say Biden is trying to take our guns. Trump was the best. And another will say January 6th was a lie and Trump was innocent, said Jules Gross, the Seabrook engineer who first discovered the network. Those voices are not people. For the sake of democracy, I want people to know that this is happening. Now, the new pro-Trump network is actually three different networks of Twitter accounts, all created in huge batches in April, October, and November of 2022. And all researchers believe hundreds of thousands of accounts could be involved.

The accounts all feature personal photos of the alleged account holder as well as a name. Now, some of the accounts posted their own content, often in reply to real users, while others reposted content from real users, helping to amplify it further. So, Rick, I'm sure you have some thoughts on this particular article here. What we've seen in the past month, at least two articles out of Israel

about election companies in Israel that are manipulating American elections. That's their business model. That's their business. That's what they do. This says that these bot networks were created in the United States. Okay.

Doesn't mean that they weren't created or managed from Israel. It very well could be it's managed here in the United States. What we're seeing is what we have said here for several years, the real story about Twitter and all of the social media networks, Facebook, is that most of their customers are fake. Most of the people are not people. They're bots. These bots had

photographs. Profiles. Profiles. Pictures. And we know that a lot of these pictures now can be generated by AI. Not even real people. That's right.

So, a lot of the stuff on social media is fake. And it's part of the mind manipulation operation that's going on. I mean, we live in the most propagandized, mind manipulated reality in the history of the human race. Nobody in history has faced as much propaganda and mind manipulation as we are facing now. Just to get through a day without is a challenge. Right. So, with that said, if this is true, and Donald Trump paid a company to set up fake accounts,

I'm just saying if he did it. Right. Okay? It's possible somebody did it for him without telling him. But if he did it, what does that say about Donald Trump? Well, it says he's just as bad as the Democrats. He's just as dirty as the rest of them, isn't he?

Right. That's assuming he was a part of this. Then how many of his customers on Truth Social are real? And how many of those accounts on Truth Social are real? And how many of those accounts are bots on Truth Social? But here's the deal. Someone wanted this story to get out. Yes.

So why did they want this story to get out? And it came out of Israel. That's right. Maybe two possibilities. Israel can't stand the competition that someone else is out there manipulating elections or they want to distract you and say, look, Donald Trump's using bots. Bots are bad.

Trump bad, too. While the Democrats have been doing this for several election cycles. Or third, the Zionists aren't going to back Trump. And they have another candidate. And they're helping to bring him down. But if it is true, then it's very disappointing that Mr. Trump would do something like this. Well, Nikki Haley was mentioned in the article. And she is the goofy poster girl. So you probably saw the Antifa riot in Atlanta over the weekend at a police training

facility. The American Communist Party at work, they led an attack. Can you believe, Doc? An attack on a police training facility. Obviously, the police didn't train very well because they didn't know what to do. That's right. So there hadn't been much training going on at that facility because the cops just stood back. They left the...

They abandoned the facility. Yes, I saw that in their article. The police abandoned the facility and allowed the communists to burn it down. Well, isn't that the modus operandi in many of these left cities? Is that the police just back away and let ANFA do whatever it wants to do, right? Well, the Atlanta Police Department announced the arrest of 23 people following a music festival that turned into a violent protest at the location where Atlanta plans to build a police and fire training facility. Now, on Sunday around 530, police said a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest to create a coordinated attack on the construction equipment and police officers at the proposed Atlantic Public Safety Training Center. In other words, this was planned in advance.

Atlanta officials stated the group changed into all black, went inside the construction area, and threw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at law enforcement. This is not a protest, APD officials said at a press conference Sunday night. This wasn't about a public training center. This was about anarchy. Other officers have arrested a total of 23 people. Only two of them are actually from Georgia at all. So they shipped in Antifa from out of state and created trouble there in Atlanta. We've got some video of it. This first one is a report that was put out yesterday from News Nation Now. And this was the headline that they had on their website. And then we've got some video. And you'll see them coming in from the upper left.

I mean, this is a coordinated attack, and they've changed into dark clothing. They had items, weapons prepared beforehand. This is not some accidental thing or a bunch of teenagers, you know, sowing their wild oats or anything like that. How did they get in, Doc? Where did where did they enter I mean there's the gate right there and so I mean it's a this is a pretty good sized crowd here and this is pretty amazing what was really and look I support the police, but this is troubling to me that the police simply stood back. There's the police.

There's the police. Doing what? I mean, they're acting like it's a shooter in a school killing kids. You just stand and watch. What happened to the days of Matt Dillon? Where's the old West cops? Where are the lawmen?

Nowadays, the best is to be saying, Matt, you don't want to be going out there now. They've got Molotov cocktails. But this is the new woke ideology. Doc, in my lifetime, I've watched us switch the mentality where, first of all, you wouldn't even think of attacking the police. That's so unthinkable to my generation that you would organize a raid on a police department? Because in Portland, they actually attacked the police departments

and burned them down the building. Sent them on fire. That is so foreign to my thinking, to my generation, that we are now at this place where the police stand back and say, don't engage the communists. The communists are acting like communists right now.

See, once again, the China way. The China Communist Party way. Who do you think funds Antifa? Where do they get their money? It's a subversive group. Why? Well, why hasn't the FBI investigated? Well, because the FBI belongs to China.

But there was a day when the FBI was led by J. Edgar Hoover who hated communism. Do you think under Hoover they would allow Antifa to run around in this country? Absolutely not.

The FBI would have been hunting down Antifa. I don't know if you noticed in that crowd, Rick, there are a lot more than 23 people there. It looked like about 100, 150 maybe. Only 23 charged with any kind of crime. Oh, they set stuff on fire. We got a video here of a tractor that was torched. Now, let me ask you a question, Rick. The fact that the police were standing back,

do you think they were giving a heads up about this protest? Well, that's a good question. I don't even want to call it a protest. This was terrorism. Were they giving a heads up and told to stand down? That's a good question because when you see the full video, you see the police officers inside the facility

walking out as Antifa's coming in. You don't see any cops turn and go, hey, what, I mean, if I were, well, don't you think you would have pulled your gun and said, hey, you're wearing a black mask and you've got a Molotov cocktail. What are you going to do with that? I mean, that was where my thinking went.

Maybe instead of looking at it that the cops are against the protesters, that they're on the same side. They're on the same side. So the police departments are being bought off. It's a sad day where I have to ask that question. Yes, that's what... I want to be able to look at a man in uniform,

a policeman, and say, I trust that individual. And for 99% of them, that's the absolute case. What it means is that law enforcement is joining the communist revolution in America. We know the law enforcement in D.C. was pro-communist. We saw what happened when President Trump was in office and when they surrounded the White House. The law enforcement was pro-communist. Mark Milley was pro-communist. I remember the day he defied the president's order. And I stood right back here, Doc. I came out of my office, and I cried out in a loud voice.

I said, America has fallen today. It has fallen. And the staff said, what happened? And I said, the military has turned against the president. The military is pro-communist. I knew that day. I knew that day I knew that day and had a young man on the staff

in his 30s and he said he's not here anymore he said well Rick you need to pray for America and I looked at him and I said I was praying for this country when you were in a diaper okay

don't lecture me I've been praying for this country. And I'm telling you, today it fell. And that was a couple years ago. It fell on that day. And nothing has been

the same since that day. Nothing. Nothing. We have big, massive Chinese balloons with cameras flying over our nuclear weapons facilities. Okay?

That's the only thing that's changed. It's gotten worse. This is a slow motion communist takeover of the United States of America.

And the people are accepting it month after month after month. I've only got a few minutes. I want to jump down here. I'm going through headlines very, very fast. Let's see. We'll go 49.

Israel Air Force reservists refuse to train in protest against judicial reform. This is in rebellion to Netanyahu's scheme Israel Air Force reservists refused to train in protest against judicial reform. This is in rebellion to Netanyahu's scheme to change the court system of Israel. There's serious opposition to Netanyahu. So now it's gotten into the military. Well, not just the pilots. You saw a picture of the train, but also from the plane, I mean.

But also reservists from Unit 8200. From 8200? Have gone on strike against Netanyahu. The big spy agency. That's right. And so. Wow. We've got some videos of hundreds of IDF reservists marching towards Jerusalem to protest Netanyahu's government. in Yahoo's government? Benny Gantz, the former chief of staff, has urged IDF reservists to show up no matter what.

Yes, he's all in favor of people protesting and doing everything. But when the reservists don't show up for reserve duty, that might be crossing the line according to Ben-Haz. So they got a problem. Number 58, Lapid and Lieberman oppose reservists refusing to serve. Once again, they're all in favor of the reservists protesting, but by refusing to serve your military duty, it would cause incredible concern for the well-being of Israel. And then B.B. tweeted, hey, when the reserves are called up, we always show up.

And look there. There is Ben Natal. I was going to say, which name is he using there, Rick? Benjamin Netanyahu or Ben Natay. So a nice little picture. That's when they had hair. has different names many names last one this uh jerusalem post ben gevier orders housing demolitions over ramadan this is the crazy radical extremists in the netanyahu government yes in the past, there's been like a moratorium or an agreement, unspoken

agreement that during Ramadan, no aggressive action being taken, taken on a settlement. I mean, is, uh, Palestinian settlements. Uh, but this is, they are now taking over East Jerusalem. East Jerusalem is Arab. That was, that was the understanding. East Jerusalem is Arab. That was the understanding. East Jerusalem is Arab. West Jerusalem is Jewish. And under Netanyahu, they are now going into East Jerusalem and removing the Palestinians who have lived there all their lives. They're seizing their homes, seizing their businesses, and building homes

for Jewish people. And what Ben-Gavir is going to do is that he is going to seize property during Ramadan, which starts March 22nd, for one month. He's deliberately going into an Arab neighborhood. And bulldozing houses. And bulldozing homes during Ramadan. Tell me if he's trying to start riots. He's a provocateur. He's dangerous. He's radical.

And what his ilk want is the justification to wipe out the Palestinian people. Because Smotrich said last week, hey, the army should go in and wipe out that entire town. Wipe it out. That's genocide. That's what these people want to do. We've been saying it on this program for years. If you really understood what the radical Zionists want, it is genocide of the Palestinian people. They want them all dead.

It's finally coming out in the open. That's right. It's out there now. And they're totally codependent on Christian Zionists in order to make it all work. That's right. You don't hear a single Christian media outlet talk anything about this story at all

because it goes against the idea that everybody over in Israel is just sitting by the River Jordan playing a harp and singing the songs of Zion. Instead, they're burning houses and killing kids. So the Christian Zionists in America have blood dripping on their hands. Absolutely. They have blood on their hands because they're part of this violence against

the Palestinian people. We are going to expose it. We're going to denounce it. And we're going to shame the Christian Zionists in America until they come to the place of saying, we can't as, support this anymore. Nobody's calling for any violence against Jews. Nobody wants that. I am calling for the end of violence against Palestinians. That's why I take this stand. Okay, we're going to wrap it up for today.

Thank you for watching True News. Tell your friends about us. Please support us throughout this year. We need your help. God bless. See you tomorrow. God bless you. Welcome to Morning Manor.

Jesus Christ is the living bread that came down from heaven. Anybody who eats this bread will live forever. Nourish your soul each weekday with Morning Manor. Here are your Bible teachers, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart. This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Hello, everybody. My name is Rick Wiles, and I'm glad you chose to start your day with Morning Manna.

Our mission is to make ready a people prepared for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Nobody knows when Jesus will return, but he did give us a list of signs to tell us that his second advent is approaching. Meanwhile, you and I must live in this sinful world that is becoming stranger and more unstable and violent every year. And that's why we have a motto here at this ministry to help us fulfill our Lord's great commission. We must shine brightly, taste salty, and love everybody. We are studying the parables of Jesus this month. And last week, we studied the parable of the sower. Yesterday, we began our study of the parable of the tares.

And so today we will begin our Bible lesson with Dr. Raymond Burkhart reading the parable of the tares found in the gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew chapter 13 verses 24 through 30. So if you've got your Bibles, let's open up to Matthew chapter 13, and you can read along with me, starting at verse 24. Another parable, he put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,

Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay, lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them. But gather the wheat into my barn. That's Matthew chapter 13, verses 24 through 30 for our key text for today.

All right. You know, Doc, I think what we should do is let's read the scriptures in Matthew 13 where Jesus gave us the interpretation, the meaning of this parable. And then we'll begin our discussion after we hear what Jesus said it is. where Jesus gave us the interpretation, the meaning of this parable. And then we'll begin our discussion after we hear what Jesus said it is. And so let's go down to verse 37. And it says, He answered and said unto them,

He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom. But the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. It goes on to say, The Son of Man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out

of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There should be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father who hath ears to hear? Let him hear. That's Matthew chapter 13. Doc, there are several things that stand out. Well, quite a few things that stand out in the parable of the tares. But to begin our discussion, in this parable,

what's different than the parable of the sower? Parable of the sower had one sower. Yes. In the parable of the sower. The parable of the sower had one sower. Yes. In the parable of the tares, there are two sowers. One sower is authentic. He's Jesus Christ. The other sower is Satan. He's an imposter.

And so there are two sowers at work in the field. The field is the world, but the field belongs to Jesus. As we said last week, when you interpret the parables, the objects that Jesus uses to teach a parable always remain the same. He is the sower. The field is the world and so forth. And so in this, in this parable, the parable of the tares, the field is the world, but there are two sowers. Satan came into, came into the world. He, in fact, I believe in this one. He's sowing into the church. And this work was malicious. It was deliberate.

It was an act of revenge. This sower in the tares, the sower of the tares, he calculated, he plotted, he schemed, he deliberately damaged the sower's farm. This wasn't a matter of mistaken location.

No, or an accident that might have happened. An accident. You didn't say, yeah, I just, you know, my seed fell out. I'm sorry about that. Or, hey, I thought I owned this land. No, someone, in this case, the devil, saw that someone else, in this case, Jesus, had sown good seed. And he calculated, I'm going to plant seed that will damage the the effort of jesus christ there you go that's the purpose of it to damage the work of the lord satan deliberately plotted and schemed

to sow tares to to damage the work that jesus christ was doing in his field. Another thing is it happened at night while good men slept. And so there was subterfuge that was underway. Happened in darkness. Yes. Satan does his work in darkness. He's always working in the darkness. Whether it's physical darkness or spiritual darkness. But he works in darkness. He's always working in the darkness, whether it's physical darkness or spiritual darkness, but he works in darkness, Doc. And he does his best work, his most damaging work,

when good men sleep. Now, in this parable, good men sleeping represents spirit-filled, Bible-believing, God-fearing Christian men and women. Good men. Good men and women. Who are, for some reason, spiritually sleeping. They're at rest. They're not active. They're not engaged in activity. They're in an unconscious state. They're asleep. What is going on in the world right now? What is going on in the Western nations, in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Western Europe, the countries that for the last 500 years have had the greatest amount of Christianity preached ever in the world. And what is going on in these countries in the past 20 years? Good men are sleeping. Yes. And the enemy has sown tares.

So the enemy's taken advantage of the opportunity and has gone full throttle and sowing as much bad seed as he possibly can. That's right. So as Americans, when we look around at this country and we shake our heads and we go, what has happened to america how could we be in

in such a deplorable mess the answer is easy the tares now outnumber the wheat yes it's just a matter of math there's no mystery to it the tares outnumber the wheat or a math. There's no mystery to it. The tares outnumber the wheat. If you were a farmer and you used to have a really beautiful field of wheat and it was always producing a great harvest,

but over the years you got lazy. You got occupied with other matters, other matters than tending to your field of wheat. And an enemy came to your farm and sowed tearsres, weeds, among your wheat. Then one day you look at your beautiful wheat farm and you go, what's happened to it? You were lazy. You were spiritually irresponsible. You didn't take care of the farm. It's just a matter of there are now more tares growing than wheat.

And this parable tells us your job is not to pull up the tares. And that's the temptation, isn't it? Yes. And even sometimes the best of preachers get caught up in that, in, well, I've got to fight against this thing or that thing. I've got to rip up the tares. Not keeping in mind that Jesus himself said, if you do this, you run the risk of pulling up the good wheat, the good seed. Because the roots, the Darnell roots, they'll wrap themselves around the wheat. They'll just dig in there and they'll wrap themselves around.

The only thing that can be done at this point is to wait for the harvest. Because once the wheat has started to mature, it's only until right at the end of the harvest when you're going to be able to tell the difference. But at harvest, you absolutely can tell the difference because when harvest time comes when they do the threshing of the wheat and they do the threshing of the tares you're going to know a big difference and the tares will be bundled up and burned at that point remember when we the pair of the story in uh second king's el Elijah and the pot of soup. Right. And one of the Bible college students chopped up a poisonous gourd.

Right. And threw it in the pot and poisoned the whole pot of soup. And what was the remedy that Elijah recommended for that? He threw in the flour. Right. The flour comes from wheat. Yes.

And so the message that we gave in that program talk is they had two options. Sit there and pick out all of the pieces of the gourd. Which would have been virtually impossible to do. Right. Just like it had been impossible to pull out tares out of a field. Right. Or do what the prophet said and pour in the wheat, the flour, and it counterbalanced the poison.

So where we're at in America today, we allowed the taors to grow. Let's not blame the political left. Let's not blame socialists and communists and everybody else. Good men slept. The good men of America slept for decades.

For decades, Doc, they pursued other matters. They preached, do I say it? They preached prosperity. They preached social justice. Church growth. Church growth.

Positive motivation. Christian Zionism. The list goes on and on and on. They preached all kinds of things except the gospel. And so for decades in America, good men slept while the enemy was sowing tares in America. Now the tares outnumber the wheat. Now the wheat's scared. The wheat's troubled. What are we going to do? You can't pull up the tares. There are too many of them.

Here's what you do. You plant more wheat. You get busy doing what you were supposed to be doing in the first place? Growing wheat. What are we supposed to do? Go into all the world, preach the gospel of the kingdom, make disciples of all men. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Make disciples of all men. Teach them the word of God. Disciple them. If the church in America had been doing its job over the last 20, 25 years, this stuff would not be going on in America. We wouldn't have drag queens in schools today. And churches. And churches. We wouldn't have it.

The tares have taken over. The only thing to do is to plant more wheat and to cultivate the wheat, get more wheat growing, make it stronger, overtake the tares. But we're not supposed to pull up the tares because of the damage. We let the harvester worry about that. That's right. So let's take a look at, we're going to break down, we'll take Jesus's key, his explanation. Let's break it down into bullet point explanations. So we start with the sower of the good seed is Jesus Christ. The field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom of heaven. Now, right here, we spent all of last week talking about the parable of the sower and debating the question, is the seed in the parable of the sower, is it the word of God

or is it the people of God? Well, it says right here, the good seed are the parable of the sower, is it the word of God or is it the people of God? Well, it says right here, the good seed are the children of the kingdom of heaven. Yes. And the tares, the bad seed are the children of the wicked one. And what we taught last week is the objects remain the same. The meanings remain the same. So the seed in the parable of the seeds, the parable of the sower, the seed is the same as it is in the parable of the tares.

Yes. And what we said last week in the parable of the sower is that the Word of God and the people who receive the Word of God are inseparable. Right, they're one and the people who receive the Word of God are inseparable. Right. They're one and the same.

So the seed, the Word of God is implanted in us and we are sown. That's the parable of the sower. Let's go back to the key. So the enemy who sowed the tares is Satan. And Jesus identifies him as the devil here in the interpretation. And so it's very clear who the enemy is that Jesus is identifying. And he's trying to slow down the kingdom of God. The harvest is the end of the world.

The reapers are the angels. Jesus shall dispatch his reapers are the angels. Jesus shall dispatch his reapers, the angels. The reapers shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend him and those who do iniquity. That list includes the wicked, rebellious, disobedient, enemies of the Christian faith, and people who place stumbling blocks in the path of souls desiring salvation.

The reapers shall toss the tares into a furnace of fire, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth among the tares in the furnace of fire then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father now doc right here in the parable of the tares the secret pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is refuted. That's right, because the harvest that occurs at the end of the age is a harvest of both the good seed and the bad seed at the same time, simultaneously. It's not like, well, we gathered some of the good seed here a week ago, and then a week later, we gather all the rest of them up. That's right, and and also the reapers

the angels gather the bad seed first yes how does how do the left behind people explain that how do the secret rapture people explain that scripture the bad seed the the tares are gathered first. They're bundled and burned. Then shall the righteous shine. And as you said, there aren't two harvests of seed. Because the way the secret preacher of rapture teach it, Jesus would send his reapers to gather first the good seed. Then he takes the good seed to heaven, hangs out there for seven years, then sends the reapers back to get the bad seed. But then they also teach that there will be good seed on the earth

when he comes back the second time because people get saved during this seven-year tribulation. So again, they separate a second time. Right. Who's confused? You and me or the pre-trib rapture teachers? If we follow the parable of the tares here, well, I mean, it fits every other scripture that's out there, everything related to the end times. And the main thing that it teaches is a simultaneous harvest of both the good seed and the bad seed. So keep that in mind. There's not a, well, there's a harvest now and there's a harvest later. No, it's a simultaneous harvest that's taking place. And I don't know if you've ever

seen the old time threshers and the way they used to harvest wheat, you know, with the wheat rakes and everything. I grew up in Western Maryland, and we had a lot of Mennonites. Okay. And then just north across the Mason-Dixon line into south central Pennsylvania, we had the Amish. Right. So I saw a lot of it, Doc. So when they would throw the wheat up and, you know, they'd thresh it. They'd break out the kernels and everything. Well, it's only at the end of the harvest that you can, if you will, thresh out the bad from the good. Which is the chaff. That's right.

And what happens to the chaff? The chaff gets blown away. It flies off, never to be used. So it's totally worthless. But even the kernels that fly up, the darnel, if you will, has a different weight than the wheat does. And so they land first on the ground and the wheat lands somewhere else. And so you gather that up first. You gather that up.

That falls in the first pile. It's really fascinating to watch because you read the parable here and you say that's exactly what they do. They have to gather that up first. And then the good seed, if you will, the good wheat lands over here in another pile because it's a different weight.

And so it's really fascinating. Let's, you know, for the pastors who are watching us, Bible teachers, and for those of you who are, you know, born again, baptized believers, and you're waiting on the second coming of Jesus Christ, and you've been taught that there is a secret rapture, you have to deal with the parable of the tares. Because the parable of the tares proves that the secret rapture doctrine is false. Now, do Doc and I believe that the saints of God

will be caught up into the air to meet the Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back? Do you, Doc? I absolutely do. You better believe we do. Looking forward to it. But we don't believe that Jesus Christ comes back twice. That twice is that secret pre-trib rapture

where he comes in, sneaks in, grabs the Christians, nobody sees him, but the airplanes fall out of the sky because the pilots have disappeared and cars crash because the drivers disappear and dads come home and the house is empty. Except for piles of clothes around the house. Yeah, the wife and the kids are gone

because they all got raptured, but dumb old dad, he left behind. That's the left behind garbage. It's all fake. Christian science fiction. It's Christian. You got it. Christian science fiction came,

it's a blend of Christian Zionism and masonry, free masonry. Okay, it's just, it's not biblical. I could teach you where it came from. I need another week or two to teach you where that doctrine came from. It came from devils, all right? A lot of good people teaching it, but they don't realize it came from devils. The parable of tares tells us that the good seed and the bad seed are harvested at the same time. He says it. The harvest is the end of the world. And both are harvested at the end of the world. How do you get around that?

You have to be playing a Bible twister in order to make this work. Because the rapture people believe that they have the power to separate the second coming of Jesus Christ into two parts and put a seven-year gap between it. Who gave them that authority to do it? Who authorized them to do it?

Did Jesus tell them to do it? Where did they get the authority to do it? Who authorized them to do it? Did Jesus tell them to do it? Where did they get the authority to separate, to divide? It's like a magician. You know, you bring the woman in a box out on the stage and he saws her in half and splits it open. You know, that's what they're doing with the second coming of Jesus Christ. They're saying, well, we're going to cut the second coming in half. This happens here. And then there's seven years later and happens over here. No, the parable of the terror says this happens at the end of the world.

Right. It's the harvest at the end of the world. Just like the net and the fish. All the fish are brought in at one time, not seven years apart, at one time. And so, see, if you study the parables, you'll end up realizing that the pre-trib rapture doctrine is false. And so you have to do one of two things. You have to decide that Jesus didn't understand the parables and he had it wrong

or the secret pre-trib rapture doctrine is wrong. But they can't both be right. That's correct. You really do have to make a choice in this. It's, it makes it very easy once you get it down. You know, another thing, Doc, about the parable of tears is, is that Jesus identifies us as wheat. Well, he identifies himself as wheat. He is the bread of life. Absolutely. And we nourish our souls by eating the bread of life. And that's why at Holy Communion, we eat bread and drink wine for his blood.

That bread represents his body as wheat, and he identifies us as wheat. And so when we as believers teach the word of God to others, we are nourishing them with wheat. We're nourishing them with the bread of life. We're showing them how to feast upon Christ, to nourish their souls to become stronger by eating his flesh, which is the word, and drinking his blood. And we nourish our souls. And so there's another reason that he uses wheat

as the symbol in this parable. It's a beautiful parable. You know, wheat, to to be useful has to be crushed has to be crushed until it's nothing but powder nothing but flour and then it's put together to make bread

Rick we also have to be crushed as well and to be made into that image of Christ Jesus himself the good seed he was crushed and ground and made into the bread of life we also have to be made into that image of Christ. Jesus himself, the good seed, he was crushed and ground and made into the bread of life. We also have to be crushed as well to identify with Jesus too. But at that process,

what happens to the tares? They're separated and thrown out. That's right. So let's put number eight on the screen as we close today's lesson. The reapers shall toss the tares into the furnace of fire. Why?

Because they're not good for anything. That's right. And you can't let them go to seed either. They have to be burned. And in that furnace of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth among the tares in that furnace. So he identifies that there are people there because tares, weeds, can't have a voice.

That's right. Those are human beings that will be wailing and gnashing their teeth in the furnace of fire, Gehenna, forever with no escape, no exit. And then the righteous shall shine he says but then shall the righteous shine forth as the son in the kingdom of their father that is the full manifestation of the kingdom of god and eternity and at that point you and i will be in the presence of God, will be in the presence of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ and there will be no more weeping and crying,

no more tears for the saints of God. We will be home finally forever and ever and ever in a kingdom that shall have no end. That's the promise that Jesus Christ has made to the wheat. Believe in and be baptized and be saved. We'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for watching Morning Manor with Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart. Request your copy of Final Day by visiting rickwiles.com.
