An attempted assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin failed days ago when a Ukrainian kamikaze drone carrying c4 explosives crashed

outside of Moscow news of the assassination plot was first reported today by Germany's build magazine Later in a day by London's Daily Mail. Let's look at the Daily Mail article. As you see the headline, Ukraine tried to assassinate Putin using drone loaded with explosives that crashed just miles from industrial estate that the Russian, they claim, dictator was due to visit near Moscow, according to German media. So, Doc, the Russian media is downplaying this story, not really denying it, but not affirming it. What do you think happened?

I think there probably was a real attempt on his life. And so there were reports... When we were live on the set yesterday, there were reports that President Putin was being rushed to the Kremlin. They haven't made a big deal about it today or anything like that. And there was a short video, which...

I mean, it was Moscow, and there was a motorcade at night with the police flashing lights and everything. And the video said it was Putin being rushed to the Kremlin last night. And it's the third time in two weeks that he's been rushed. Third time? Yeah, that he's been rushed to the Kremlin. And, of course, the buzz for a while there, it had something to do with Erdogan.

But today, Mr. Putin and Mr. Erdogan appeared on a video call together. So apparently whatever was going on didn't have to do with Erdogan. Did you see the video with Erdogan, President Erdogan, last night? No, I didn't see the one last night. Okay, so he passed out during a live television show. In the video, you see him being interviewed in his office you know i guess it's a turkish television network and as the news uh journalist was asking the next question that's when mr erdogan supposedly passed out really they never showed President Erdogan blacked out, but you do see the news journalists

just staring and then getting up out of his seat to go towards the president. So there were reports, some people said he had a heart attack, others said he just had a flu. And then there was a statement last evening from the Erdogan's office saying his doctor said he just needs to rest at home for a day. But then I saw him on call with Mr. Putin today. But in the video where you saw President Erdogan before he supposedly passed out, he looked sick. I mean, to me, he looked like somebody that was about ready to throw up, pass out you know

the way you would look when you have the flu I mean that's what it looked like to me he looked frail he looked like he was becoming white, like he was struggling to remain seated and continue the interview

so then you had that story broke last night remain seated and continue the interview. So then you had that story broke last night as President Putin supposedly was being rushed to the Kremlin, which would have been what hour when we saw that last night? It would have been close to midnight. Close to midnight in Moscow. And then today the news story comes out

that there was an attempt at assassination i guess over the weekend right so let's get into the daily mail article it gives us more it's based on the uh the german uh magazine build right so germany's build magazine reported that ukrainian secret service agents tried to assassinate Vladimir Putin with a kamikaze drone carrying explosives but failed after it crashed a few miles short of their target. Now, London's Daily Mail reported on the Build article, the Ukrainian forces reportedly launched the UJ-22 drone laden with 17 kilograms of C4 plastic explosives from Ukraine on Sunday with the aim of reaching a newly built industrial estate near Moscow that Putin was due to visit.

That's according to a German newspaper, Bild. But before the deadly drone reached the Renevo Industrial Park on its alleged mission to take out the Russian despot, it crashed mere miles away from the site. Now, Bild cited a tweet by Ukrainian activist Yuri Romanenko, who claims to have close ties to Kiev's intelligence services, alleging that Ukrainian Secret Service agents had received information about Putin's apparent trip to the industrial site and had decided to launch the deadly drone in an attempt to assassinate the president. Now, he claimed that

a kamikaze drone that had crashed in Varskogo Village, 12 miles east of Rudnevo Industrial Park, was the one that Ukrainian forces had launched as part of an assassination plot. Now, in a tweet cited by Build, Romanenko said, Putin, we are getting closer. Everyone saw the news about the drone that flew to Moscow but did not explode. So this drone flew for a reason. Last week, our intelligence officers received information about the trip to the industrial park. Accordingly, our kamikaze drone took off, which flew through all the air defenses of the Russian Federation and crashed not far from the industrial park so that's basically you know the ukrainians taking credit for in a secondhand way uh about the about the drone well my the first question i have doc is who supplied the ukrainian intelligence agency

with c4 right i mean c4 is not something you go down to Home Depot and buy a box of C4. And it's standard Western explosives. It's not from China. Typically. It's not even from Israel. Typically the U.S. Army. Right.

So who gave C4 to Ukraine? I mean, C4 is a powerful explosive. You don't need a lot of C4 to blow up a building. So who supplied it? Now, are we being told that Ukraine has a C4 production capability? Because that opens a whole new group of questions. Because that means Ukraine could be supplying terrorist groups around the world with C4 explosives. Well, I don't believe they're producing it, but they're certainly doing that as well. So now this UJ-22 drone has a range

of 500 miles, and it did crash near a Virkova village on Sunday and images were posted on social media sites including telegrams showing the destroyed UAV in a forest near Moscow. Now the drone was laden with 30 C4 plastic explosive blocks weighing about 34 pounds which are often used by the U.S. Army. Now this this is from the Daily Mail. Billed siding Romanenko claims that the drone was supposed to crash into Rednevo Industrial Park and kill Putin, who is reportedly expected at the site on Sunday. Putin had previously claimed he has escaped numerous assassination attempts. In 2017, Putin told filmmaker Oliver Stone

that there had been five assassination attempts against him and that the only reason he is alive is because he deals with his own security personally. I do my job and the security officers do theirs and they are still performing quite successfully, Putin said in the documentary that the Putin interviews. Putin is said to travel with his own sniper squad. Wouldn't you like to have your own sniper squad? Whose role is to locate any shooters and kill them before they're able to pull the trigger on Putin? No, I wouldn't want to have a sniper squad because that would mean there are snipers looking for me. I'd rather just avoid that entire situation.

But I'm not surprised that they made an attempt to kill Putin. And if they can't kill Putin, they'll kill somebody else. Because we've seen Putin's brain. His daughter was killed. And there was speculation yesterday that the reason Erdogan was sick, had gotten sick, is the buzz out there on the internet was that he'd been poisoned, perhaps by a Russian diplomat, which would be the perfect false flag. It'd be that Duke Ferdinand moment for our war.

Doc, Russia's Victory Day celebration is coming up in a few weeks. May 9th. We're just about a week away. Yes. Remember what the French general, the retired French general last year said that

Ukraine needed to blow up Moscow during the Victory Day parade. And that's coming up. So that leads us into this next discussion. Yes. The expected counteroffensive. We heard a lot about it months ago.

Nothing happened. First, there was going to be a Russian counteroffensive. That didn't happen. Then we've been told for months there's going to be a Ukrainian counteroffensive against the Russians. So far, it hasn't happened. But today, the buzz started in the news again. It was very dormant for weeks. I'm going to show you some of the headlines

that I pulled up about an hour ago. Here's defense one. U.S. very confident Ukraine has what it needs for counteroffensive. The article is saying the Pentagon has worked overtime to ship weapons and ammo and rockets to Ukraine, and they are very confident that the Ukrainian army has everything that it needs for its counteroffensive, implying that there is going to be a counteroffensive.

The next story, this is Euronews. Moscow readies its weapons for Ukraine's counteroffensive. So you have the other side now responding to the news of the West. And this story implies that Russia is expecting the Ukrainian counteroffensive to start near Crimea, which would make sense that the Ukrainians are going to make one attempt to regain Crimea so that the Russians are bracing for a, I guess, for an invasion of Crimea.

So are you thinking this is an all-in attempt at this point now? Yes. I mean, this is it for Ukraine, really. Yes. So the next one's New York Times. Ukraine's spring offensive comes with immense stakes for future of the war. So the New York Times is reporting that Ukraine is preparing to launch its counteroffensive against Russian forces as early as next month,

American officials are saying, in the face of immense risk. Without a decisive victory, Western support for Ukraine could weaken, and Kiev could come under increasing pressure to enter into serious negotiations to end or freeze the conflict. Now, American and NATO allies have supplied Ukraine with extensive artillery and ammunition for the upcoming battle, and officials now say they are hopeful the supplies will last. A change from two months ago when weapons were only trickling in and U.S. officials were worried that the supplies might run out. Now, although Ukraine shares few details of its

operational plan with American officials, what a joke, the operation is likely to unfold in the country's south, including along Ukraine's coastline on the Sea of Azov, near the Russian-annexed Crimea, as Rick was saying. Everything hinges on this counteroffensive, said Alexander Vershbo, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia and now a senior NATO official. So they have to, they're making a big bet on this. They've been shipping military equipment in, ammunition in, even to the detriment of other countries, wiping out their supplies. Even the U.S. has had some issues with being able to maintain its own ammunition supplies and artillery supplies because so much has been shipped to Europe. So, Doc, remember, I guess it was, I don't in that it was it was it was a european official it was a european official who said that ukraine had to had to take decisive action

in early 2024 or 23 because fatigue war fatigue is setting in and america was going into its election yes and that the politicians would not defend the war that they would promise to wind it down and and so that european official was saying you know something's got to happen in early 2023 where it's over ukraine's got to win the war or it's over. And that may be where we're at, that something's going to happen starting next week. Now, this next story, it's not a story. It's not an article.

It's actually an op-ed in Asia Times. Will Biden send U.S. air power for Ukraine offensive? Doc, this caught my attention. Again, this was not a report saying there's, you know, there is verifiable information that Joe Biden is going to send U.S. airplanes and other air power into Ukraine. The writer is asking the question, is Joe Biden going to do something in in Ukraine battling the Russians, wearing Ukrainian uniforms. That's the suggestion. That the U.S. takes aircraft into Ukraine, puts Ukrainian insignia on the aircraft,

the American pilots are wearing Ukrainian uniforms, and basically the U.S. is fighting the Russians, pretending to be Ukrainians. That's the suggestion. It's not that he knows that it's going to happen, but this writer is... Apparently there's some reason that a writer for the Asian Times would say this is a possibility. We've got to consider this. That Joe Biden has a surprise

for Vladimir Putin. And then when you add the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow? Doc, I mean, Victory Day, the Victory Day parade in Russia is their celebration

of the end of World War II. The Russian people suffered millions of deaths. Defeating Nazis. Defeating Nazis. Okay? The Nazis invaded Russia. Defeating Nazism. Defeating Nazis, okay? The Nazis invaded Russia. Millions of people died. And the Russians are adamant they will never allow Nazis

to get close to them again, which is what's happening with the Azov Brigade in Ukraine. It's a Nazi organization in the army. And so they're getting the heebie-jeebies thinking that there's a revival of of nazism uh hitler had quite an operation in ukraine and his uh extensive yes his uh his number four man in in in the third reich not just ukraine was a Ukrainian military leader who his granddaughter is the prime minister,

not the prime minister, what is the secretary, what is deputy prime minister of Canada? I thought she was like the finance minister. Finance? Maybe it's finance. But she's in the cabinet of the Canadian government. A direct descendant of one of the highest ranking Nazis in Ukraine, World War II. How does that happen? Because the Nazis took over the West. Germany lost the war.

The Nazis won the war. That's right. So the Russians are fighting the Nazis again. So it's something big coming in May. Air power is the only thing left. I mean, really. What else will we send beyond air power? Nukes.

Doc, an attack? Well, not... Okay, just think about this. If NATO supplied the Ukrainian military with the weapons to fire a long-range missile, you're talking about a medium-range missile, into Moscow, I mean, it's not that many hundreds of miles from Ukraine to Moscow, if they supply them with a missile that hits downtown Moscow in the middle of the Victory Day parade, and you have millions of people in the streets,

you have the Russian leadership in the reviewing stands, you have the Russian army marching down the street, Russian generals, officials everywhere, and Ukraine hits that parade. And that's the beginning, the starting gun of the counteroffensive. What does that do to the Russians? Well, in my opinion, it's going to fire them up. I mean, they're going to go, as we say back home, a whole hog at that point. That's right. That's right. That's where I'm going.

That's where I'm going. Would Joe Biden go that far? Are the people in the West that insane, that crazy, that they would do something that they know is going to start a nuclear war? And they don't even need air power to do that. They just sent a drone to Moscow. What if that drone had been carrying dirty uranium or anything? I mean, you could have contaminated an entire section of Moscow

instead of just blowing it up. But an explosion in the middle of a Victory Day parade would be extremely dramatic. It would shock the Russian people. The whole world would be shocked. And there would be a demand from the Russian people for retaliation. Yes, and it would happen within minutes.

Doc, if the C4, if the Russians can trace the C4 to the U.S. Army, think about what this means. That the Russians would have a direct link to the U.S. Army on an attempt to assassinate Vladimir Putin. If they can make that connection, then the U.S. becomes a direct link to the U.S. Army on an attempt to assassinate Vladimir Putin? If they can make that connection,

then the U.S. becomes a direct enemy. You can't just say, well, they're helping the Ukrainians anymore. No, you're now walking hand in hand in this conflict. That's right. So the next story, Russian submarines in the Atlantic, more active than we've seen in years.

I wonder why. I mean, you hit a beehive, and then you wonder why the bees are swarming around you? Yes, and you're getting stung, and you don't understand. Well, doggone it could be I'm hitting the beehive. And that's what's happening. So the Russians are sending their submarines in the Atlantic for Europe and the United States because they're expecting something to happen to them. So U.S. News and World Report is saying that Russia has increased its submarine presence in the Atlantic

at a higher level than ever in recent years. And that's coming from a top U.S. officer overseeing operations in Europe. And he said that Wednesday, citing one of several examples contradicting conclusions that the military loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin has been severely degraded by his war in Ukraine. Now, it goes on to say in that article the Russians have been more active than we've seen in years. And that's coming from Army General Chris Cavoli, the top commander for NATO and the U.S. military operations in Europe, speaking to Congress on Wednesday of Moscow's undersea capabilities. During that interchange, their patrols into

the Atlantic and throughout the Atlantic are at a high level, most of the time at a higher level than we've seen in years. General Cavoli testified before the House Armed Services Committee, and this despite all the efforts they're undertaking in Ukraine. Now, I have a short video clip of this interchange of General Cavoli speaking for the House Armed Services Committee, but he said something else, too. I hope you catch it as well. When he's speaking about the submarine issue, he says

something else in his response to the House committee there. See if you catch it as well. And thank you to both witnesses for your outstanding work at this time of, again, the biggest security challenge since the end of World War II. I'd like to actually, General, shift the topic a little bit to not the, well, out of the eastern flank and more to the western flank. You know, in light of, even in the midst of all of Russia's degradation of its military force because of the conflict, its Navy continues to operate. And we heard from General Van Hurk, your colleague, when he testified that the patrols in the Atlantic, which used to be sort of sporadic by the Yalen, their submarine patrols, are now becoming

persistent. And I wonder if you could just sort of talk about that as much as you can in terms of, you know, what we're doing in terms of anti-submarine warfare to track this and address this? Because, again, despite everything that's going on with your other portfolio, this is different than it was even five or six years ago. Yes, sir. Thanks. Thanks for the opportunity. And this is very much inside my portfolio. I share it with Glenn Van Hurk, of course, defense of the homeland. Starts forward. First of all, sir, if I could, I'd like to underline your comment about the specificity

of the degradation of the Russian forces. Much of the Russian military has not been affected negatively by this conflict. One of those forces is their undersea forces. It's hard to talk in public, as you well know, sir, about undersea warfare and our efforts in that regard. But I can say that the Russians are more active than we've seen them in years, and their patrols into the Atlantic and throughout the Atlantic are at a high level most of the time, at a higher level than we've seen in years. And this is, as you pointed out, despite all of the efforts that they're undertaking inside Ukraine. Now, I heard it, Doug. Did you catch it? I did. What he said was that the way have not seen a serious degradation of Russian military forces.

Much of the Russian military has not been affected by the war. Now, I heard that. I had to rewind it several times because he was contradicting Representative Courtney there. And Courtney assumed, well, we've been knocking the Russians back on their hind ends. I know, but the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN and Fox and the New York, I mean, the London Times

and Telegraph in London and the Daily Mail and the BBC and all the Western media, Doc, they've been telling us every day for a year, the Russians are losing, they're bleeding, their troops are deserting, Ukraine is winning, the Russian army is going to collapse, there's mutiny. It's all a lie, isn't it? Yes, and you heard that from the commander of the region. It's a lie. It's propaganda.

It's all propaganda. The Russians are winning. Yes. And the only reason the Ukrainians are still there is that the western nations have spent hundreds of billions of dollars collectively

to prop up a corrupt government run by Zelensky, who is stealing unknown amounts of money, he and his generals. And if we didn't prop them up, they would have been wiped out a year ago. Right. They would have already divided up Ukraine and we would have all gone home and that would have been it. Actually, Doc, if you go back

to the very beginning of the war and Sergei Lavrov was attempting to have negotiations with Zelensky. And they had, in April of 2022, they had come to a- Joe Biden stopped it. They had come to a conclusion, yeah, we can settle this.

Yes. Russia did not want to run Ukraine. They didn't want to. They only wanted, excuse me, they only wanted those breakaway provinces where the majority of the people identified themselves as Russian. Right.

And there has been a war going on there. Most people don't know that there's been a war going on there. Most people don't know that there's been a war going on there since 2014 because the U.S. set things up for that war after the John McCain Victoria Nuland

inspired revolution of what, 2013, 14? And the Russians only wanted that. They just wanted the fighting there to stop and they wanted to annex that and they wanted a peace treaty with Ukraine. But Joe Biden wouldn't allow it to happen.

NATO wouldn't allow it to happen. And now here we are on the verge of, we're still on the edge of a nuclear war with Russia. It's just unbelievable that these people have done this. But this General, what was it? Cavoli said there hasn't been any degradation of the Russian military since the war started. Right.

In other words, they're still at fighting strength. Yes. They're still at fighting strength, despite the hundreds of billions of dollars thrown at them. And their submarines are active, and they're moving around the Atlantic. And the Atlantic, you know what that includes? The east coast of the United States of America. I wonder why the Russian submarines are traveling up and down the east coast of the United States. Could it be that they're going to take out New York City, Washington, D.C., and Norfolk, Virginia,

and Jacksonville, Florida? That's what I think they're planning to do, and they're going to do it because they feel like they have no choice, that NATO has pushed them into a corner, and this is a fight for their survival, and they're not going to go down. Meanwhile, here in the United States,

we're chopping off the genitals of little children and become a sick, perverted society. And who is going to defend us? Who is going to protect us? I got to go.

Let them know that you watch True News and that you appreciate their support of True News this month. I found a story in a Japanese newspaper. It was actually written by Reuters, but it was

published in the Japanese publication. U.S. plans rare nuclear missile submarine visit in a message to North Korea. So everybody's sending their nuke submarines somewhere to send a message. I mean, if we're sending a message to North Korea by sending a submarine there, aren't the Russians sending us a message by sending a submarine to the East Coast? I'm getting the message if no one else is. Yeah, I get it. You're going to nuke us. So what's going on? There was a visit. The South Korean president visited Joe Biden in Washington yesterday. While that's going on, we have a nuclear submarine, a U.S. nuclear submarine, arrive at port in South Korea. So for the first time since the 1980s, a U.S. nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine will visit South

Korea to help demonstrate Washington's resolve to protect the country from a North Korean attack. Now, the visit was announced in a joint declaration between a summit during a summit between South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington on Wednesday. Because U.S. SSBNs rely on secrecy and stealth to ensure their survival and preserve their ability to launch nuclear missiles during a war, they rarely make public stops in foreign ports. Now, let's keep that in mind here. A couple quotes from that particular article. That could be a huge pressure on North Korea because usually they don't share where those submarines are.

And that's coming from Moon Kook-sik, a retired South Korean submarine captain and squadron leader. So the Pentagon wanted North Korea to know that the submarine was there. Yes. And another quote from that, if a U.S. SSBN visits and docks in South Korea, that is very unusual and symbolic. The U.S. wants to show it's going for stronger deterrence in a visible way and to calm South Koreans' concerns. That's come from Choi Il, another retired South Korean submarine captain, speaking to Reuters. So yeah, Rick, you're right. The United States wanted North Korea to know exactly where that submarine was because if the submarine wanted to attack North Korea, they could sit 400 miles off the Korean coast and obliterate a large portion of North Korea.

I mean, they don't have to be right up in South Korean port to do it. So they're sending a very strong missile. And the fact that they announced it beforehand, and then the submarine arrived later that day. It's like the police sending a SWAT team armored vehicle to the home of a gang leader and parking it in the driveway. Right, and just saying, let you know we're here, try something.

Because that means that the North Koreans had advanced knowledge of where that submarine was going to be. They could have made an attempt on it. They didn't, but the U.S. was sending a very clear signal. Why now? Why now? What's going on? They're saying this is unusual. It's unusual. Why?

So if something's unusual happening, why now? I think what's happening is because of this visit with the president of South Korea, with Joe Biden, and they were hamming it up. I mean, they were blood brothers, it seemed like. South Korea is being drawn deeper and deeper into the Ukraine conflict. They're supplying weapons. They're supplying artillery. Our ammunition supplies are so short, we're relying on South Korea to produce ammunition.

Okay, so remember what Dmitry Medvedev text on Telegram a couple weeks ago? I don't know if we ever showed it. But when it was announced that South Korea was going to supply weapons to Ukraine, he said, imagine the surprise in South Korea when they see our neighbors receive, I'm paraphrasing, when basically what he says, imagine the surprise you're going to have in Seoul our neighbors receive, I'm paraphrasing, basically what he says, imagine the surprise you're going to have in Seoul when they see Pyongyang

receive Russian weapons. Right. And so Medvedev was saying, you go ahead and send South Korean weapons to Ukraine and watch what we do. Yes. We're going to send weapons to North Korea.

We're not playing around. And so there's, you're right, Doc. South Korea is being pulled into the Ukraine war. This is a world war. There's another aspect to this, too. South Koreans have been, you know, against proliferation of nuclear weapons on the peninsula. And so basically, South Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons. The U.S. does, and they've relied on

that arsenal. But there's a movement now in South Korea for them to have their own nuclear weapons. I think this was meant to put a kibosh on that. Well, I think Mr. Biden and the South Korean president agreed. You're right. That South Korea would not build its own nuclear weapons, but the United States would share some. And so what did they do? They pop up a nuclear submarine in a port near Seoul and say, look, you don't need your own nuclear weapons. We've got your back. So I think that's part of it too.

But what do I know? I'm just a preacher. Well, this next one is Yonhap News Agency in South Korea. Joe Biden says North Korea nuclear attack against U.S. allies will result in the end of the regime. A very direct message, very strong message of Mr. Biden saying to North Korea, if you attack South Korea, it's lights out for you. It's over. You will not wake up. We will take you out. It was a very

strong statement. Right. So Yonhap News is reporting that President Joe Biden on Wednesday warned North Korea that any nuclear attack against the U.S. or its allies will result in the end of its regime. Mr. Biden issued the will result in the end of its regime. Mr. Biden issued the warning during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yun Suk-yeol after discussions how to strengthen the U.S. extended deterrence commitment to South Korea during a summit at the White House. And the quote directly here, a nuclear attack by North Korea against the U.S., its allies, our partners, it's unacceptable and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such action. And he wasn't limiting that to necessarily

North Korea either. He said whatever regime. So this next one is where they talk about sharing nuke power, South Korea, U.S. to share nuclear planning to deter North Korean threats from Reuters. So also on Wednesday, the United States pledged to give South Korea Seoul not to pursue a nuclear bomb of its own, emerged from White House talks between U.S. President Joe Biden and the South Korean leader that covered issues including North Korea, semiconductor chips and trade, and, of course, the Ukraine war. At a joint news conference, President Yoon said he and President Biden had agreed on steps to strengthen South Korea's defenses in response to the threat posed by North Korea. Now, this was quite the event that was at this level here. It says, our two countries have agreed to immediate bilateral presidential

consultations in the event of North Korea's nuclear attack and promised to respond swiftly, overwhelmingly, and decisively using the full force of the alliance, including the United States nuclear weapons, Yoon said. All right, Doc, this next story, it was treated by most news media outlets as kind of comical, lighthearted, like isn't that cute, wasn't that wonderful. So last night at the White House, South Korean president gets a standing ovation after singing American Pie at a White House state dinner. This was being reported by the New York Post.

And we'll give you the Post report and then we'll show you the video. That's right, Rick. So the New York Post reported that South Korean President Yoon Seok-yool received a standing ovation at the White House State Dinner on Wednesday for his rendition of Don McLean's classic song, American Pie. Yes, that's right, folks, American Pie.

Yoon capped off the second state dinner of President Biden's presidency with an unexpected performance of the first verse of the 1971 hit, noting that it was one of his favorite songs while in school. The recital left guests stunned and came at the encouragement of President Biden, who told the South Korean leader that he knew American Pie was a favorite of his and that attendees wanted to hear him sing it.

Okay, so we got a short video of the South Korean president singing Don McLean's hit song, American Pie. Let's watch. Happy for a while I thought you only made me sugar Really thankful I did above Bad news under the step

I couldn't have one more step. I don't remember if I tried to wear eyes. Well, the boundaries were no bright. Something touched me deep inside. The day the music that I love. Now, that was cute. That was nice. Okay.

Nice way to end a dinner. But, Doc. What's the song about, Rick? The End of America. That's right. I'm seeing something prophetic in this. Well, whether it's prophetic or not, the lyrics really are about the end of America.

Yes. One way or another. The day the music died. Right. Now, of course, you could say it's about Buddy Holly and everything else like that, but really the lyrics, if you really get down into it, it's talking about the end of everything we know as America

and ends the song with everything we know as America. And ends the song with a nuclear bomb going off. Yes, yes. When you sent this over, that was the very first thing I thought of. All right. There's a nuke in this song. There's a nuclear weapon in this song. We've talked about it. How many songs do you know that have a nuke in the lyrics?

We've talked about American Pie in the past and everything, but it's always, I think that song kind of signaled, looking forward, that America was on the decline. I mean, you could see it in the early 70s, mid-70s, looking toward the future. Things have changed completely. Okay, so, Doc, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But God speaks to us in unusual ways.

Was the South Korean president who was in Washington to talk about nuclear weapons. I mean, the main thing was talk about nuclear weapons. And the U.S. has a submarine docked at his main port. Okay.

Did God use the South Korean president last night to send a message to the American people that under Joe Biden and this war that you have started, it is the day the music died. Are we that close? How many people discerned the message, the warning?

That's the message I got. It gave me chills this morning. I saw it real early this morning. It gave me chills. Because the first thing I thought about was the day America dies and there's a bomb, there's a nuclear bomb at the end of the lyrics. As the flames climbed into the night to light the sacrificial rite, I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died. Saw Satan laughing with delight.

Okay. Just think about it. Just ponder it. Maybe we're reading too much into it. maybe it was just he likes the song maybe there's nothing prophetic in it at all um this next one uh this new york post uh joe biden got caught with a cheat sheet in his hand. Well, actually not. This shows that he has advanced knowledge of the questions that are going to be asked of him by reporters. Right. So it's so rigged.

It's so fake. And the news reporters are in on it. I mean, they really are prostitutes. They know that they're cheating. They know that it's rigged. But they go along with it because they're paid and they get to go to the White House and they get to be seen asking questions to the president.

But the whole thing is rigged. Do we have a close-up of, there it is, look at this. Now, this is a Los Angeles Times reporter. And reporter Q&A, question and answer, April 26th. Question number one from the Los Angeles Times reporter, foreign policy, semiconductor manufacturing.

And there's the question she asked. So she went, this woman is part of the Courtney Sue Brumman, is that it? Yes. Brumman. She's part of the deception. She's part of the con job of deceiving the American people. She knew when she stood up

and asked a question, it was rigged. Now, the LA Times is denying that it's rigged. Yeah, right. Okay, so the New York Post made it up? Did the New York Post,

did they make it up? They claimed the Nework post has made up stories before that turned out to be true yeah yeah like the hunter biden story but hey they they've got they've caught biden doing this several times this shouldn't be a surprise at all white house press secretary uh today um today tried to walk it back and everything and said the reason why we choose certain reporters has to do with the news topics of the day. We knew that the Korean president was here,

and so we chose someone who specialized in semiconductors. But you also wrote the question? Well, according to the LA Times, what the LA Times is saying is we do not endorse questions being supplied to our correspondents. Well, are they implying that they didn't know that their reporter was working with the White House? It sounds like they're trying to just walk this back. Of course.

And everybody's been caught in this. Of course, they've been caught. Did you see last week or two Senator John John Fetterman has returned to the Senate. Did you see him chairing a subcommittee hearing? Oh my goodness, that was painful. That was sad. That was sad. And then when the hearing was over and somebody was talking to him.

Had to have a teleprompter to respond to the questions being asked. It was his iPad. His aide was holding up an iPad with the answers. Somebody was typing out in real time the answers to the question of the person standing there beside him. Yes. It's all fake.

It's all rigged. The whole thing is rigged. It's fake. And you and I are told that we have to believe it. Well, I'm not going to believe it. It's rigged. It's fake. And you and I are told that we have to believe it. Well, I'm not going to believe it. It's rigged. And we're going to laugh at it.

And we're going to mock them. And we're going to refuse to believe it. And they can get mad. They can threaten us. They can do anything they want to do. But you know what? I'm not going to act like I believe it. I know it's a lie. We're living in a Masonic matrix and they've created a false reality around us. And they tell us this is true. This is real. You have to believe it. No, no, I don't have to. I have a brain

and I have discernment and I've got common sense and I know when I'm being snookered and you're not going to make me believe it. And so no matter what these people do, look, we have to hold, we have to hold together. We have to remain strong. We have to lock arms and we have to just, the thing that drives them crazy is if you just laugh at them. They want to gaslight us. They want to make us afraid. They want to make us angry. See, if we're angry, frustrated, afraid, they love it. They're super narcissists. They enjoy it. They're getting this narc supply out of us. Right.

So if they don't get their kicks from fooling us, they get their kicks from us getting angry. Yes. But what gets them angry is when we know that you're trying to pull one over on us and would laugh at you. You just laugh at them. Now, the next one. This is from Minnesota. This was the newspaper of the Minnesota St. Cloud. St. Cloud Times.

St. Cloud Times, I'm sorry. St. Cloud Times in Minnesota. Anti-Asian bias spurs renewed effort to update Minnesota's hate crime law. All right, so now this story is initially from February, so we're going to walk you through it here because it has an impact on something that happened here within the past day or two.

Minnesota's St. Cloud Times reported back in February that updating the way Minnesota responds to hate crimes has been a goal of a community coalition and DFL lawmakers for three years. Doing so, this session could be another result of the trifecta that emerged from the 2022 election. The changes would provide a way to measure the prevalence of bias incidents that either aren't reported as crimes or fall short of the legal definitions. Now, this was driven in the past by Representative Frank Hornstein,

a Minnesota DFLer who is Jewish. The Hate Crimes Bill is now sponsored by Representative Samantha Vang, a Hmong American DFL lawmaker from Brooklyn Center. And DFL is Democratic Farm Labor. Right. So now, fast forward here to this week. This is from the New York Post. Sorry. So listen to this. This is where this leads. All right. Arguing COVID came from China could land you on Minnesota's government bias registry, according to new bill. All right. So that bill that we were talking about that started ramping up back in February.

Now, if you say it's the China flu, that could get you on a list for bias against Asian Americans. And this is Samantha Vang. Yes. And she's a Hmong, but she's from Thailand. She's not from China. She's from Thailand. Right. Hmong, but she's from Thailand. She's not from China. She's from Thailand. Her parents were refugees and came to America,

but she was born in America. But she's leading this very radical agenda in Minnesota to outlaw thoughts and words. And it's not limited to just Asians. It could be anything. Gender bias, I mean, the LGBT movement or anything. So a reporter- Look at this quote from the New York Postdoc. Right.

So a reporter asked Samantha Vong, how far could this go? He said, so he posed another question to Vong, asking if someone was wearing an I Love J.K. Rowling shirt, would they be added to the database? Now, why would a T-shirt dedicated to J.K. Rowling be offensive? Well, not because of Harry Potter or anything, but because of her stand on there's just two genders. That's it. Okay. And that of course has been given her the bane of the LGBT community. All right. So if someone's wearing an, I love JK Rowling shirt, that's saying they support her views. Right. So he asked the question, if a Minnesotan is wearing a t-shirt that says, I love JK Rowling, and someone

sees that and reports them to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights as an example of gender identity or gender expression bias, is that something that the Minnesota Department of Human Rights should put in this bias database, he asked. Okay. I mean, that's totally ridiculous, right? Would you agree? Yes. But what's the answer? Well, her answer was, Vang suggested that this question would be better answered by lawyers and added,

I'm not going to say yes or no to that question. I mean... Well, now we know what the answer is. It's yes. She would endorse it. You're going to go into the system, a database, as a potential hate criminal.

Because you have thoughts. You have thoughts in your mind, Doc, that must be eradicated. Where are we? What planet are we living on right now? Well, you've got the thought police out there, the pre-crime police. You haven't committed a crime yet, but you're a criminal.

The Democrats are the Communist Party. And I'll say it a thousand times. The Democrat Party is the Communist Party of America. It is a franchise of the China Communist Party, the CCP. It's a franchise. And they are communizing franchise. And they are

communizing America. And they're doing a good job at it, too. Look what they did to Canada. Canada's gone. Canada is little China now. Yes. And now they're doing it in the United States. And they're getting

state legislatures, city councils, county councils to pass hate crime bills. And our own wonderful governor, Mr. DeSantis, is in Israel today. And in Israel, he signed a Florida law. Bear to say that again. Mr. DeSantis, and you know I love ron desantis but but today i'm not happy

with him he's in israel and he signed a law passed by the florida state legislature which happens to be here in florida but he took he took the bill with him to israel to sign the bill into effect in israel so which country is he working for i. So which country is he working for? I mean, he... Which country is he working for? I mean, he signed the bill in front of the audience that he expected a response from, right? That's right. And who wanted it passed. He signed it in front of the people who wanted the state legislature to pass it. So he said today that he is the most pro-Israel governor in America.

He just reminded me of something that I didn't like about him. All right, so let's see. Am I going to support Ron DeSantis, who is in Israel, to boast that he's the most pro-Israel governor? Or am I going to support Donald Trump, who bragged that he was the most pro-Israel president in the United States history,

whose daughter converted to Judaism? Or am I going to support Joe Biden, who says, I am a Zionist? You understand the deck is stacked, right? Yeah. You want to talk about rigged elections? The elections in this country are rigged because no matter who you vote for, you get a Zionist. I would say that's a rigged election. No matter who you vote for,

you get a Zionist. Name me one person who is not a Zionist who has a fighting chance to be elected president of the United States. Name one. Can't do it, can you? Of course not. In both parties. But nobody wants to talk about who rigged the elections. That's a rigged election. We're making thoughts crimes now. So what Governor DeSantis did today, this was an election stop. Yes.

He's campaigning. He's campaigning. He's campaigning in Israel for votes in the U.S. That's right. So this next one, Cointelegraph, which is a cryptocurrency publication. Elizabeth Warren wants the police at your door in 2024. It rhymes. Yes. If you have a crypto wallet, she wants all crypto wallets to be registered with the IRS. So back in 2022, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren authored a bill that would require

cryptocurrency wallet providers to comply with bank anti-money laundering rules. Not crypto exchanges, mind you, but the wallets themselves. That's what's significantly different here. Kansas Senator Roger Marshall joined her on the proposal as a co-sponsor. The bill also betrayed the civil liberties and privacy tenets of progressivism that Warren supposedly espouses. Now, a couple of quotes from that Cointelegraph article here. The Warren bill would require that anyone who designs a crypto wallet, and that's a computer program designed to store the encryption code that helps to keep your crypto token secure, register as a money services business, and essentially be regulated like a financial institution. means is that any computer programmer or entrepreneur who writes code to help customers control crypto investments from their phone and to help keep the crypto secure from hackers would need to register with the treasury department as if they were like western union yes yes so no one would want to do that no one one would qualify. The Communist Party would know how much cryptocurrency you have.

It's all about control. And everything about crypto is to avoid control. Yes. But Elizabeth Warren wants, she's trying to communize the United States of America. All right, I'm going to go through

two or three very quick. I want to just show you before we go home. Number 34, I'm going to go through two or three very quick. I want to just show you before we go home. Number 34, guys, Wall Street Journal. Before trial in Russia, defendants can spend months behind bars. Okay, so this is the Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested for spying. And obviously, Wall Street Journal has a vested interest in getting this man released. But this article that in Russia,

if you're arrested, you could spend months behind bars. And this is to imply that Russia is a totalitarian government, that its rulers are tyrants. There are no rights, no liberties. But let me, I want to ask you something where are the men arrested on january 6th still awaiting trial mind you where are they they're in jail still awaiting trial yes so in america you could be arrested and spend months maybe years this. Years, this is years. Behind bars. When were they arrested? When was January 6th, 2021? But it's those dirty Russians that keep people in jail, right?

Yeah, see, there's the propaganda. I just wanted to show you some propaganda. I want to show you number 36. Google ad revenue falls for second straight quarter as chat GPT fears mount. Google is having trouble. Their revenue is dropping. They're laying off 12,000 employees. They've even banned employees from buying staplers. Yes. So money's becoming an issue inside Alphabet. And it's because people are moving away from YouTube and the Google,

they're just moving away from it. There is a migration taking place and these guys are starting, they're starting to hurt. One more, I'll show you before, no, I got two more I want to show you, okay? Let's jump down to number 49. This is from WSAZ-TV in Huntington, West Virginia. The governor, the Republican governor of West Virginia today filed his candidacy to run for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia. Do you know who his opponent would be? No, who? Joe Manchin. Really?

You're going to have the former governor, current U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat, running against the current Republican governor of West Virginia. He is extremely popular. So is Joe Manchin. But Joe Manchin's carrying the baggage of being a Democrat in West Virginia and carrying the baggage of the leftist green agenda that wants to shut down the West Virginia coal industry.

He's carrying all that baggage of Joe Biden and everything. Governor Justice is very, very popular. I would say he is going to be the next senator out of West Virginia. What if Joe Manchin switches parties between now and the primary? Then he'd have to run against the senator out of West Virginia. What if Joe Manchin switches parties between now and primary? Then he'd have to run against the governor.

In a primary. Yes, and it's too late. It's too late. Oh, it's too late? Well, no, he could do it, but the Republican primary voters are going to go with the governor. They're not going to endorse a wannabe Republican

who's trying to save his hide. Manchin should have done that months ago. I agree, but- It's too late now. Now he's got a very popular Republican governor running against him. So let's just pretend that the elections are going to be fair. Well, I'll just pretend, okay? I'll go along with the story. I i mean it's some drama for the election uh the last one this was number 52 kpho tv phoenix arizona democrat who happens to be a presbyterian minister uh she's in the uh arizona state legislature legislature she was caught on surveillance cameras hiding copies of the Holy Bible. They've had a problem, Bibles missing inside the lounge area reserved for state legislators. And the Bibles keep disappearing. They finally found the Bible thief.

And it turned out to be a minister. Yes. So, Doc, why would a minister hide Bibles? Well, she would say that it's separation of church and state and all that. But if we go back to our story yesterday, where we talked about Rupert Murdoch and his extreme response to a prayer by Tucker Carlson or his fiance reading some scriptures, I would say that someone that's hiding Bibles has a problem with the Bible. Yes. that she infiltrated the Presbyterian church and became a minister in order to carry out her real agenda while disguised as a minister. Right. Okay. So here's a report. This will be

our final thing. This is a report from KPHO-TV in Arizona. Inclusively obtained by Arizona's family shows Democrat lawmaker Representative Stephanie Saul Hamilton discreetly swiped two Bibles in a matter of a minute. Republican pro-temp speaker Travis Grantham says this is sinister. When I was watching that I'm thinking like well this is obviously somebody who's got some purpose and some intent and they know they're doing something bad. And what's even more strange is the revelation by the house's security team. The holy books discovered buried in the members' lounge furniture and another one in the community refrigerator. For an ordained minister to do that, it's just, again, it's nonsensical. I have no

clarity. I have no why as to why it happened. After several requests for comments and a phone call cut way too short, we decided to confront the church leader. Stephanie, not very nice to hang up on me. Just a simple question. I don't want to talk to you. It's just a simple question. Why would you hide the Bible? Who says anything about hiding Bibles when I don't hide them? You're caught on video. You're caught on video. It's a very simple question, Stephanie. Stephanie, you're an ordained minister. Why would you hide the Bible, Stephanie? The Democrat lawmaker then texted the following explanation.

Quote, just a little playful commentary on the separation of church and state. I am a Presbyterian minister, so I obviously don't have a problem with the Bible. End quote. A statement that didn't inspire faith to grant them. And that explanation makes no sense to you? No, not at all. The state motto is God enriches. I don't quite understand the separation between church and state issue there

with having a Bible available for members to read. A source has told me that Saul Hamilton never approached leadership to remove those Bibles from the lounge. In Phoenix, I'm David Coltabiano for Arizona's Family. I can tell you why she did it. The devil. It's just that simple. The devil.

There's only one being on the planet that doesn't want the Holy Bible to be read by people. The devil. So if you're hiding the Bible, you're doing the work of Satan. It's just that simple. And why people can't just say it, you know, well, I wonder why she's doing it. I'm perplexed. It doesn't make sense. It does make sense. She's doing the work of Satan. End of discussion. See, my world is very easy.

That's right. There's a God and there's a devil. You can come right out and say it. You don't have to worry. I wonder, I'm just confused. Why would someone hide a Bible? I'm not confused. I don't know.

Why would someone take a Bible and hide it in a refrigerator? I'm not confused. I'm just like baffled. Well a Bible and hide it in a refrigerator? I'm not confused. I'm just like baffled. Well, if you're full of the Holy Ghost, you know why. Because you got the devil in you. That's why. Yeah. Well, the devil's coming out in people everywhere.

They can't hide it anymore. Have you noticed that? What's happening, Doc? It's like people that have devils in them, they can't hide it anymore. It's just coming out. And the separation is becoming very visible. You know who's who, you know which side they're on. And it's actually a good thing. It's actually a good thing because it's helping those of us on the right side in the kingdom of God. It's helping us to identify who our real brethren are. And it's also outing who our real enemies are.

That's right. And so now we know who the team players are. Thank you for watching True News. I encourage you to tell people about True News. You are our only advertising.
