The following program is made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you.
To find out how you can help, visit nothing but the truth, so help us God.
I'm Rick Wiles.
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today that the West has declared war on Russia.
He may have been thinking about a report from CNN about long-range missiles.
Doc Burkhardt and I have lots to share with you today,
including shocking disclosures from the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre.
Doc, before we get into our news headlines, I want to update our audience.
We're starting a brand new program.
And I told you yesterday the first network would start on Monday.
We're going to be on three networks, national networks,
so that gives us coverage on a lot of full-power TV stations,
cable systems, direct broadcast satellite,
I mean direct TVTV dish network. What we did today is to, the schedule was staggered and we
were going to be starting on different days on the three different networks. So a decision was made
today to synchronize all three networks so that we would start on the same day.
Therefore, we had to postpone the launch
until Monday, June 6th
because two networks couldn't,
well, we just couldn't work out the schedules.
So the only way to get it synchronized
was to delay the launch for all three networks
to Monday, June 6th.
And that means also the new website will be delayed also.
Just a few days, though.
Just, yeah, for another week.
So anyhow, I just wanted to let you know,
because some of you would be looking for a new True News website on Monday
and the new rickwiles.com website and the new Rick Wiles Today show,
and it won't be there on Monday.
It will be the following week.
Besides, Monday's a holiday.
It worked out for the best.
Right.
All right?
So, anyhow, there's a little housekeeping.
Let's take a look at this CNN report.
U.S. preparing to approve advanced long range rocket system for ukraine now think about
this everyone this is a long-range rocket system and if that's given to ukraine then ukraine would
basically have the ability to reach moscow with this yes okay the abiding administration is
preparing to step up the kind of weaponry it is offering Ukraine by sending advanced long-range rocket systems that are now the top request from Ukrainian officials, multiple officials say.
The administration is leaning towards sending the systems as part of a larger package of military and security assistance to Ukraine, which could be announced as soon as next week. Now, senior Ukrainian officials, including President Vladimir Zelensky,
have pleaded in recent weeks for the U.S. and its allies to provide them with the MLRS,
the Multiple Launch Rocket System.
The U.S.-made weapons system can fire a barrage of rockets hundreds of kilometers,
much farther than any of the systems Ukraine already has,
which the Ukrainians argue could be a game changer in their war against
Russia. Another system Ukraine has asked for is the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System,
known as HIMARS, a lighter-wheeled system capable of firing many of the same types of ammunition as
the MLRS. The MLRS and its lighter-weight version can launch as far as 300 kilometers or 186 miles, depending on the type of munition.
They're fired from a mobile vehicle at land-based targets, which would allow the Ukrainians to more easily strike targets inside Russia.
Now, obviously, the reason why they're asking for these, Rick, is because Ukrainians are at a loss right now.
Russia's making advances there. You won't hear that on the mainstream outlets or anything. FOR THESE, RICK, IS BECAUSE UKRAINIANS ARE AT A LOSS RIGHT NOW. RUSSIA'S MAKING ADVANCES THERE.
YOU WON'T HEAR THAT ON
THE MAINSTREAM OUTLETS
OR ANYTHING.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU
THAT, BUT IF YOU JUST LOOK AT
THE MAP OF WHERE THE RUSSIANS
ARE, AND THEY'RE STARTING TO
MAKE GREAT GAINS IN THE EAST,
AND SOME OUTLETS ARE REPORTING
THAT NOW, BEING TRUTHFUL
ABOUT IT, UKRAINIANS KNOW
IT'S DOWN TO THE WIRE,
THAT UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE FIGHT, about it. Ukrainians know it's down to the wire that unless they have something
that can change the balance of power
in the fight,
that they're out of the game.
Okay, so I say the Biden administration
ships long range missiles
and missile launchers to Ukraine.
Ukraine hits targets inside Russia,
Russian soil, bridges, power stations, government buildings, military bases, inside Russia.
Yes.
With rockets that came from the United States of America.
Now, a few months ago, Rick, Russia warned about red lines.
Before the start of the war.
Right.
And every opportunity it seemed like NATO had and the West had, they would cross those red lines.
And then finally Russia said, that's it.
We're making our move in Ukraine.
And they did.
They said, these are the red lines.
You cross these red lines.
This is where we'll go.
Now there's a new set of red lines that appears that are being in place. This kind of weaponry does literally change the game. And it moves us. We're already in World War III. We're
in economic world war right now. We're in the smoke of the world war and shooting war. But this
would take it up to a whole new level. And it puts the United States of America right in the middle of World War III.
It's not that Ukraine has its own rockets and they're going to hit Russia.
It's the United States is giving the rockets and the launchers to hit Russia. You know, we always like to flip it around
to help American citizens think it through.
All right, so let's say Russia,
the Defense Ministry of Russia,
supplied long-range rockets and long-range rocket launchers
to Mexican drug cartels.
Right.
And inside Mexico, they strike Texas
200 miles from the Texas-Mexico border.
They start taking out cities.
Alright, taking out targets inside cities.
Power stations, bridges, airports.
Let's say a rocket comes in from Mexico,
takes out the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
Right.
What would the response be by America?
We would invade Mexico.
But what else would we do?
Who gave them the rockets?
Right.
Then we'd declare war on Russia, too.
That's right.
Because they were supplying the Mexican cartels with advanced weaponry.
That's what's going to happen in this particular situation.
Yeah.
This is really serious.
And when I saw it this morning, I knew this is going down the toilet really fast at this point, Doc.
And do you remember back in January and February when they were talking about red lines and everything,
that it was all over Russian TV, too?
They did not hide that at all.
They said they would bring experts on and said, these are the red lines.
And obviously they were given that information by the government. And so it was kind of Russia's way of saying, listen, we're prepared to go down
this road. We're starting to hear those red lines again, aren't we? Same thing on Russian
television news. And we have, we've got a video clip with English subtitles that let you see and
hear what the Russian people are seeing and hearing on their national television newscast. Let's watch. что позволяет вам увидеть и слышать, что русские люди видят и слышат на их национальных телевизионных новостях.
Давайте посмотрим. So that's what they're watching on their version of Fox News or CNN over in Russia, We will record an attempt to call the most severe response from Russia. well, it's probably going to be nuclear. I mean, that's a harsh response,
but where would the nuke strike?
Would it strike Kiev or Brussels or Washington, D.C.?
I would say it would strike Washington, D.C.
We're in it, folks.
We're in it.
We're already in World War III.
We have insane madmen running the West.
I don't know what else to say.
They're insane.
And ironically, the one voice that's out there saying,
you know, we better back off of all this,
is Henry Kissinger.
I know.
That's how crazy things are.
That's how crazy this is now.
And he's not pro-RUSSIA.
HE'S SIMPLY SAYING,
WE HAVE ABOUT TWO MONTHS
TO SETTLE THIS OR THINGS
ARE GOING TO GET BAD.
REALLY BAD.
BUT WE MAY NOT EVEN HAVE
THE TWO MONTHS.
WELL, SERGEY LAVROV,
ONCE AGAIN, AND HE HAS MADE IT
VERY CLEAR.
SMILING.
THAT'S HIM SMILING,
BY THE WAY.
NO, I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN PICTURES
OF HIM SMILING.
BUT HE'S MAKING IT VERY CLEAR. THE WEST DOES NOT HIDE THAT IT HAS DECLARED WAR ON Made it very clear. That's him smiling, by the way. No, I've actually seen pictures of him smiling.
But he's making it very clear.
The West does not hide that it has declared war on the Russian world.
So, Doc, once again, are we seeing a progression in the thinking of the Russians and the West?
A week ago, Lavrov would never have said
the West has declared war.
And he actually used the phrase total war.
Yes.
It says the West has declared total war
on the Russian world.
As we have just known,
the West has declared a total war on us,
the entire Russian world.
Now no one is hiding this.
It is already reaching the point of absurdity
to the very culture of the abolition of Russia and everything
connected with our country. Under the ban of the classics, Tchaikovsky,
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, figures of
national culture and art who today represent our culture are also being persecuted
as well. And he said that at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Russian
Subjects under the Russian Foreign Ministry. So in other words, Russia has been deplatformed. AS WELL. HE SAID THAT AT A MEETING IN THE COUNCIL OF HEADS OF RUSSIAN SUBJECTS UNDER THE RUSSIAN
FOREIGN MINISTER.
IN OTHER WORDS, RUSSIA HAS
BEEN DEPLATFORMED.
THEY ARE DEPLATFORMED.
RUSSIA HAS BEEN VOTED OFF
THE ISLAND.
YES.
SO IT'S NOT ONLY IMPACTING A
DIRECT, ANY POLITICAL, THEY TRY
TO BAN EVERYTHING.
TODAY THEY BAN A HOCKEY,
RUSSIAN HOCKEY TEAM.
YES. THIS IS FROM INTERFAX. THE NATIONAL TEAMS OF BOTH RUSSIA AND BELARUS WERE BANNED banned a hockey, Russian hockey team. Yes, this is from Interfax.
The national teams of both Russia and Belarus
were banned from participating
in the 2023 Ice Hockey World Cup.
And what did these hockey players do
that's a criminal offense?
They were Russian.
That was their criminal offense.
That's very racist.
It is, isn't it?
Can you imagine saying that about any other nation in the world?
Just pick any nation in the world.
And we're going to ban them simply because of who they are.
Right.
So the sanctions, really the sanctions impact the citizenry of a nation.
It's the same as dropping a bomb on them.
So, Doc,
the West has deplatformed Russia.
They've cut them off from the world.
They don't exist anymore.
They're not allowed to participate in anything.
They can't even pay their bills,
even though they have money to pay their bills.
They're not allowed to go to the bank to pay their bills.
That's how much the West has declared Russia a non-state at this point.
The Western viewpoint is Russia no longer exists.
Russia has no right to be a nation.
The Russian people have no right to be a nation. The Russian people have no right to be
a sovereign, independent people.
We're going to erase them.
We're going to eliminate them.
Right, now imagine you're Russia
and this is the view of the world against you.
Yes, now what the West is doing to Russia
is the same thing that Western tech companies
and powerful political entities have done
to people inside the USA who have disagreed with the system.
Where I'm going with this is the censorship of American citizens that we've seen for the past two years, which we have, we were in the first wave of it.
We know what it tastes like.
We know what it feels like to be ostracized, to be cut off. Where I'm going with this is this idea.
That censorship is not coming just from the tech companies.
It's been orchestrated and driven by the ruling class of America.
They're using the same tactics that they used on the American people. They're using it on the Russians now.
Right.
Which is eliminate them.
De-platform them.
De-platform them, make them go away.
Unplug them.
Force vendors to drop them.
Take them off a social media account.
That's what they are.
They're sanctions.
Yes.
And sanctions are a weaponTIONS. YES. AND SANCTIONS ARE A WEAPON
OF WAR.
YES.
AND SO THE RULING CLASS OF
AMERICA HAS PUT SANCTIONS ON
AMERICANS.
THEY'VE HAD THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS
CLOSED.
YES.
WHAT DID TRUDEAU DO TO THE
TRUCK DRIVERS?
HE PUT SANCTIONS ON THEM.
AND TOOK MONEY THAT HAD BEEN
RAISED FOR THEM.
YES.
HE STOLE THEIR MONEY. STOLE THEIR PROPERTY, THEIR TRUCKS. that had been raised for him. Yes, he stole their money.
Stole their property, their trucks.
The West is waging war on its own people, and now they're waging war on Russia.
The difference is the Russians are not gonna take it.
They're just not gonna sit there and take it.
They're gonna clobber us. They're absolutely not going to sit there and take it. They're going to clobber us. They're
absolutely going to clobber the West. It's going to be horrific. And I don't know if any of us will
survive. You better live every day. Every single minute of every day, you better be living right
with God because you and I have no guarantee at this point that we're going to live tomorrow.
That's how serious this is right now. The Russians are going to clobber the United States of America.
And you might be saying, well, the U.S. will beat them. There won't be anything left of either side. Antiotic is this thinking.
Nothing will be left.
Both countries will be destroyed.
A billion people dead
from nuclear war,
biological.
This is insane
that we're talking about this stuff
and yet there's nobody,
absolutely nobody in this country in a position of leadership saying stop it.
No.
In fact, they're saying do it.
Yes, watch your favorite mainstream outlet, watch Fox News.
They'll have a talking head on sometime during the night.
We need to do more against Putin.
We need to do more.
We need to provide more weapons to Ukraine. But the political left is for it. Yes. Both sides, because they're controlled
by the same people. Where are all the anti-war hippies now? Where are they at? Are they in
Congress and the Senate now? Because there used to be a time where on the left, they were against war. Now, both sides are for war. They're for war.
It's good business for them.
I also found, well, this next one,
documents shed light on secret U.S. plans
for apocalyptic scenarios.
This was published by New York Times.
And what they want you to believe in this article is,
oh, some people in the U.S. government decided it was time to publicize these old documents.
They're from the Bush administration and before.
Right.
And nobody's going to use this stuff now.
No.
The reason it was published, two reasons.
First, they're sending a message to Russia reminding the Russians,
we have plans for apocalypse.
We have, I forget the whole thing about apocalypse.
It means unveiling.
But they think it means calamity.
But what they're saying is we have plans, the U.S. government, the ruling class of America,
we have plans to survive a nuclear war.
In fact, it's interesting in those documents that the Bush administration drew up.
This is George W. Bush.
It included shutting down all communications of the American people.
Yes.
Of the American people.
Yes.
I'm not talking about television or radio.
I'm talking about you and me, you, your ability to communicate with anybody.
It will be shut down.
No communication.
None.
All right?
That includes shortwave.
That includes CB.
Right.
They will not allow anything.
Nothing.
There will be no communication.
None.
They also put that out, first of all, a warning to the Russians,
but also they're signaling to the people in America who are paying attention,
saying, you might want to take a look at this because we're going into a world war.
Because the U.S. government is never going to tell the American people,
get ready, buy food, get prepared. They're never going to tell you. Never, ever, ever.
If they know the exact day and hour that they're going to launch nuclear weapons,
they're never going to tell the American people.
Never.
They'll let you die.
Yes, they will.
They don't care.
But they do signal to people in the land saying,
hey, we gave you some hints.
We had the New York Times publish these government documents.
We tried to warn you.
We told you.
We told you there's a world war.
So pay attention to these signs that are appearing right now about a nuclear confrontation.
The next one is South China Morning Post.
This is today. China military must be able to destroy Elon Musk's Starlink satellites
if they threaten national security. Oh, that gonna just got my Starlink.
You did, didn't you?
I did. Hey, you remember about a month ago, I said, I said, I paid for Starlink
in January of 2021.
And here it is,
we're almost into June of 22,
and I still don't have my Starlink.
And yet,
Elon Musk is shipping containers
full of Starlink receivers
to the Ukrainian army.
And this was about a month ago,
and I said,
hey, Elon,
if you're watching, could you get one of those Starlink units to the Ukrainian Army. This was about a month ago, and I said, hey, Elon, if you're watching,
could you get one of those Starlink units off that ship
and send it over to my house?
Well, guess what?
Last week, I left here, went home,
and there sitting on my porch was my Starlink receiver.
And I'm wondering, is that a coincidence? Or is somebody
at Starlink watching true news? Maybe Elon himself is watching. Who knows? You never know. Elon,
thank you for the Starlink. And I apologize for speculating that you're a space alien.
I take it back. I'm sorry. You got me my Starlink.
But Elon. Seriously.
Seriously.
The Chinese are planning
to take out Elon Musk's Starlink system
because it is a threat
to China's national security.
Right.
Let's take a look
at this Hong Kong newspaper article.
So Chinese military researchers
say the country needs
to be able to disable
or destroy the SpaceX Starlink satellites if they threaten national security.
According to a paper published last month, China needs to develop anti-satellite capabilities,
including a surveillance system with unprecedented scale and sensitivity to track and monitor every Starlink satellite. The study was led by Ren, I'm going to get this right,
Yan Zhen, a researcher with the Beijing Institute of Tracking and Telecommunication
under the PLA Strategic Support Force.
Co-authors included several senior scientists in China's defense industry.
Now, they went on to say a combination of soft and hard kill methods
should be adopted to make some Starlink satellites
lose their functions and destroy
the Constellation's operating system, said the paper.
And went on to say that one of the authors said,
Wren estimated that US military drones
and stealth fighter jets could increase
their data transmission speed by more than 100 times
with a Starlink connection. That's why I got one from my house.
And so the unprecedented scale, complexity, and flexibility of Starlink would force the
Chinese military to develop new anti-satellite capabilities, according to Ren and his colleagues.
For instance, it would be possible for satellites carrying military payloads to be launched
amid a batch of Starlink's commercial craft, they suggested.
The Chinese military therefore needed to upgrade its existing space surveillance systems
to obtain super-sharp images of these small satellites for experts to identify unusual features.
The Starlink Constellation constitutes a decentralized system.
The confrontation is not about individual satellites,
but the whole system.
This requires some low-cost, high-efficiency measures,
said the researchers,
without elaborating on the methods of attack.
So they're not going to take out a couple of Starlink satellites.
They're taking out the whole system.
That's what they would desire, yes.
So each one of these launches that Starlink is doing,
they're putting about 40 to 60 satellites into orbit on each one of these launches.
We had another one just last week here.
One of the benefits of living in Florida, you can see when Starlink rockets are going up.
So they're spreading out there.
But, Rick, I remember it had to be a tech conference in,
I think it was the
one in Shanghai where I attended that talked about that they foresaw for foresaw
a future where there would be multiple satellite networks in orbit oh yes where
it would have like the Starlink system or the U.S. system.
China would have their own system,
and there might be a collaboration in the EU with their own system. But there would be competing space networks.
Over the top of the same system.
Right.
The same geographical area.
Right.
Competing for that space and pushing against each other.
So that's going to continue to increase
into a multipolar world,
assuming that we survive the nuclear war.
But did you notice in this article,
another line we've crossed is
open discussion of space warfare.
Well, that's true, yes.
So it's no longer sci-fi
to talk about space warfare someday.
You now have a Hong Kong newspaper
saying, yeah, Chinese are going
to take out the entire
Starlink system.
That's a lot of satellite stock.
Right.
It's a global network.
And they're saying, we have to remove the entire system. That's a lot of satellite stock. It's a global network.
And they're saying, we have to remove the entire system.
But they didn't want to elaborate on the method of attack.
What does that look like?
Well, I think we're going to be finding out soon.
Laser weapons in space?
You know, they were looking at projectile elimination of satellites. They were talking about that. So I think we're on the edge of something totally new where,
you know, in space there really are no boundaries. And we're going to see space battles here
within, you know, the next few years. That's going to be happening now. You may see in the next few months, Doc,
you take out communications.
All phone systems go dead in America.
Credit cards stop operating.
Just take out satellites.
Look how much shuts down.
Your cell phones stop.
You know, in this particular story, it acted like China doesn't have a network of satellites.
But I already know they do have.
Because in 2019, they were launching the small satellites into space, their telecommunication satellites that was incorporated.
You know, China has more radio towers per capita than any other
nation on earth. They have close to a million radio towers across all of China. And they were
incorporated with the satellites. We saw this at a tech conference at like, I think the same one in
Shanghai a few years back. And so that's what kind of caught my attention on this. They're acting
like, well, we don't have, you know have satellites right now that are doing that very same thing.
Maybe they weren't the low Earth orbiting ones like the Starlink system is.
But don't be fooled.
China is doing this as well.
Bloomberg reporting today that Vladimir Putin made an offer to Western leaders,
hey, we'll sell you some food if you drop those sanctions off of us.
Yes.
So who causes the global food shortage?
Is it Russia?
Well, they're blaming him.
Right.
But he's saying, no,
it's the West that put the sanctions on us,
and so we just stop sending grain and fertilizer and other food products to the U.S. and to other countries.
And so Russian President Vladimir Putin said he's willing to facilitate grain and fertilizer exports
as global concern mounts about food shortages and rising prices,
but only if sanctions on his country are lifted. President Putin didn't specify if he was referring
to Russian exports or those from Ukraine that have been stopped by Moscow's blockage of ports
since its invasion began in late February. The U.S. and its allies would be highly unlikely to
agree to remove the extensive sanctions placed on Russia
for its actions in Ukraine in response to the Russian leader's move to link it to the growing food crisis.
President Putin's comments were made in a phone call Thursday with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi,
according to a Kremlin statement.
Mr. Draghi has been trying to work out a deal here over the past week on food and grain shipments because he sees the future.
And what is Mr. Draghi's professional background? He's an international bankster.
Right. Now, the Russian president told Mr. Draghi that disruptions to food supplies were
exacerbated by the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, and that Moscow is willing to make
a significant contribution to overcoming the food crisis through the exports of grain and
fertilizers on the condition that the West's politically motivated restrictions are lifted.
The call focused on a shared solution to the food crisis, Draghi's office said in a statement that
did not mention talk of removing sanctions.
The Italian prime minister said later Thursday at a briefing he asked Mr. Putin to unlock the grain at Ukraine's ports.
He added he does not see room to reach a peace deal with Mr. Putin.
Could that be because Biden is shipping long-range rockets to Ukraine. Well, and the sanctions definitely are putting the hurt on Russia,
but why would they release grain?
Why would they if sanctions are hurt? It's putting the hurt on the U.S., isn't it?
Right.
So a White House spokesman said Russia's actions were increasing world hunger.
Now, before the war broke out, Ukraine was a key supplier of wheat, corn,
and sunflower oil to other countries,
particularly poorer nations, including in North Africa. Grain is now sitting in silos in Ukraine
and unable to be shipped. Sanctions from the U.S. and our allies and partners target Putin's war
machine, the spokesperson said. They do not prevent the export of Ukrainian or Russian
agricultural commodities, including food and fertilizer, nor are they preventing the ordinary transactions that are necessary for these exports,
such as banking and shipping. But the sanctions in place certainly keep that from happening.
Doc, I would believe that whatever grain is sitting in Ukrainian silos
eventually is going to be shipped to Moscow.
If the West doesn't get to it first.
Yes.
But the West has got to get troops inside Ukraine.
And, you know, that has actually been tossed out there by our own Pentagon this week.
They actually tossed that idea out about using troops.
Sending in U.S. soldiers to get...
About using NATO troops to help secure grain in Ukraine.
So that's what's happening.
But you know, these elitists and these world leaders, Rick,
they knew the consequences of this.
They knew that if they put sanctions on Russia, there was going to be a total disruption in the food cycle of the planet, especially
when it comes to wheat.
Yes.
And how do we know that they knew about this beforehand?
Well, we don't. But what we do know is that there are natural factors that are impacting the food supply right now, mainly drought.
Yes.
And drought is hitting a significant portion of the United States, but also other continents.
So I went to an agricultural website to get the latest information. This is Grow Intelligence. And global wheat
supplies face new threats as drought levels rise. Let's look at a few quotes from this
news article.
Right, Rick. From France to the Middle East to the U.S. Midwest, drought levels that haven't
been seen worldwide in at least two decades are damaging prospects for replenishing
depleted global wheat supplies
and increasing food security risks for many countries.
Hey, so look at that.
From Europe to the Middle East to North America, drought.
Yes.
Drought is impacting food production.
Right.
And aggregation of growing conditions
in all the world's wheat-growing regions
shows soil moisture levels are at their lowest point since at least 2010, according to Grow's Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture.
Meanwhile, the Grow Drought Index, weighted for the world's wheat acres in the Climate Risk Navigator, is showing the highest reading since at least 2003. Now it goes on to say that worldwide
production of wheat, the most important crop affecting food security, is forecast to decline
this year for the first time in four years. The global wheat stocks to use ratio, a key measure
of the available supplies, is expected to drop in 2022 and 23 to the lowest level in seven years, marking the third consecutive annual decline in wheat inventories.
Tight global wheat supplies have pushed benchmark futures price
on the CME up by 57% so far this year.
Now, France presents one of the most worrisome pictures
as scant rainfall and high temperatures depress growing conditions in
Europe's top wheat supplier. And with Ukraine wheat sidelined by its war with Russia,
think about this folks, drought hit countries across the Middle East and North Africa
have been counting on France to help fill the supply gap. France's durum and soft wheat crops,
which are harvested in July and August, are currently in the key growing months that have the greatest bearing on final crop yield. But soil moisture readings for the
country's wheat regions are at their lowest levels in at least 12 years, Gros Climate Risk Navigator
shows. U.S. wheat prospects are also at risk as the winter wheat and spring wheat crops continue
to face adverse conditions.
Grow's machine learning U.S. hard red winter wheat yield forecast model is pointing to a double-digit yield decline. A decline? Yes. As hot and dry conditions blanket the HRW growing areas
in the southern plains. Meanwhile, the U.S. hard red wheat crop to the north is struggling with spring planting
because excessive rains are hampering sowing. North Dakota, the top HRS producing state,
has currently experienced the slowest planting season since 2011. And then in Iran, the Middle
East's top wheat producer is expected to see production drop 20% this year to 12 million tons. That's significant,
which is 17% below the five-year average. Now, Iran's wheat-growing areas have experienced
severe levels of drought since mid-2021, according to Grow's Drought Index,
weighted for wheat acres in Iran using the Grow Climate Risk Navigator.
Wheat production in Morocco is projected to be down 35% this year. Morocco,
one of the top wheat producing countries in Africa, as well as a large wheat importer,
has experienced one of the worst droughts in nearly two decades since late last year,
as shown by the Grow Drought Index weighted for the country's wheat acres. So drought is impacting places all over the world. And here in the U.S.,
in the West, we're experiencing a 1,200-year drought.
Yeah, a 1,200-year cycle drought. So, Doc, people can't blame some of the food shortage on manipulation.
I am absolutely convinced a lot of these shortages
are being manipulated.
In fact, we're gonna show you a video here in a minute
about diesel that proves that it's being manipulated.
And you can't blame it all on Putin either.
You can't blame it on Putin.
This is natural forces, drought,
all over the world at the same time when these other things are taking place.
It's a perfect storm for food.
So I'm bringing this information to you because you need to have a heads-up mindset that that you know you've got a couple months you got a couple months
to to make preparation because by fall we're going to see the beginning of severe shortages
of wheat and corn and that means all the products made with wheat and corn which is a lot yes a lot and
those products are going to start disappearing off the shelves of stores
you're going to be surprised how many products are not available and we're talking about products
going everywhere from just bread all the way up to styrofoam.
Yes.
Because styrofoam is made from corn.
And everything in between.
And so it's going to have a wide gap and impact on what's getting.
When do they stop putting ethanol in fuel?
When's that going to stop?
Yes.
So I use E85 in my truck because it's cheaper and I have flex fuel.
But yes, that will happen at some point.
I hadn't thought about that until just now.
It is going to become severe.
And the warnings are very clear.
Prepare for a global food shortage starting in the fall of 2022.
Next story, Texas Tribune.
Texas drought strengthened the script, triggering wildfires, water restrictions, and crop disasters.
After that, Iowa Public Radio.
Drought expected to expand throughout Iowa this summer.
The Journal record, as drought persists, cattle producers begin to call their herds.
All right, so that's going to impact meat.
Yes.
You don't think about the consequences of one change in the supply system how it impacts everything else. I didn't realize
this.
You get to the place that a rancher says, you know, I'm going to have to kill off my
entire livestock herd because I can't-
I can't afford to feed them.
I can't feed them. So once the cattle are killed off, that meat will move its way through the system.
But after that, there's now a reduction
in the supply of meat going into the food system.
And you can't rely on plant-based fake meat either
because it's being impacted by the drought.
That's right.
All right, the next one, this is a CTV news.
So Lake Mead in Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas,
Lake Mead has dropped to an extremely low level of water.
And, you know, those of you, if you've ever been to Lake Mead,
back in the days when the lake was at its full capacity. Beautiful,
beautiful place with Hoover Dam nearby and everything. So now when you see Lake Mead,
it's starting to look like truly from a desert scene.
Well, guess what they're finding?
The water table has gone down so low.
They're finding boats that had sunk.
Right.
But something else.
Yes.
They're finding dead bodies in barrels.
You know, we always hear about how the mafia
stuffs somebody in a barrel and drops them in the river.
They really do.
So they've been taking people from Las Vegas, stuffed in barrels and dropped in the middle of Lake Mead.
And now that the lake level is down so low, these barrels with dead bodies in them are being discovered and the police are now doing
their investigations on just who is in the barrel. Here's this report from CTV in Canada.
Historically low water levels in the nation's largest reservoir have revealed sunken treasures
while shedding light on a serious issue. The water levels in Lake Mead are so low, formerly sunken and shipwrecked boats
have begun appearing in unlikely places,
and locals believe there could be dozens more.
But the problem doesn't stop with the lack of lake water.
There's also an abundance of moisture
in the remaining terrain.
The National Park Service shared images of vehicles
stuck in the lake's muddy banks,
which look stable but act more like quicksand.
The western U.S. is facing its worst drought in centuries.
Officials have been forced to enact water usage restrictions
that they fear could have serious impacts on agriculture and municipal supplies.
And so it talks about, you see all the boats and see how low the water level has gone down.
Rick was talking about the bodies.
This is from Live Science, and there are a number of articles out here about these.
They're finding bodies now pretty much on a weekly basis now.
They might find Jimmy Hoffer.
Yeah.
So bodies began reemerging from the lake at the beginning of May as water levels dropped to record levels. SO BODIES BEGAN REEMERGING FROM THE LAKE AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY
AS WATER LEVELS DROPPED TO RECORD LEVELS.
AND IT'S UNLIKELY THAT'S GOING TO STOP ANYTIME SOON
BECAUSE, AS I SAID, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY'RE FINDING IT
ALMOST A COUPLE BODIES A WEEK AT THIS POINT.
SO THE MOB WAS BUSY, I GUESS, FOR A FEW YEARS, RICK.
THEY DID.
ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT ONE, THIS IS A VIDEO Rick. They did. All right, the next one. This is a video of the CEO of Pilot Flying J.
It's a chain of truck stops.
We have them here in Florida nearby.
And I want you to listen to what Mr. Konar,
the CEO of Flying J,
listen to what he said as he testified
to a transportation board about
the diesel fuel shortage and tell me why we have a shortage of diesel fuel.
My name is Shamik Konar. I'm the chief executive officer for Pilot Flying J.
We operate the largest network of travel centers in the United States serving
the U.S. trucking industry and four-wheel customers. We currently account for approximately
20% of the country's highway, or as we call it, over-the-road diesel supply, 20%,
as well as 30% of the diesel exhaust fluid supply also known as def
similar to my colleagues here pilot is facing a threat of severe reduction in rail service
allocations for pilot the service reduction allocations are being imposed by the union
pacific railroad on april 13, we were informed by the Union Pacific
that we were required to reduce shipments by 26%.
In subsequent conversations,
we were asked to reduce them even further
by 50% or face embargoes.
We're not aware of any other company being instructed
by the Union Pacific or any other
railroad to reduce their shipments to the extent they're asking pilot. We understand through
conversations with the Union Pacific that its allocations are based on a simplistic approach
of looking at those shippers who have increased their number of shipments between January 2022 and March 2022.
This does not take into account the overall number of shipments received at pilot's facilities,
which by the way have remained static over this period. We believe the Union Pacific's approach
does not fairly and proportionately allocate the supply issues because pilot has not
increased the total number of cars it's received every month since january what's actually happened
is pilot has become a shipper on some uh car for some cars that we were not shippers before
so our facilities are still receiving the same number of cars. It's just the name of whose shipping has changed because we've taken control over some of the cars because of the issues we've had with the railroads
so that we have the optionality to deliver these cars in markets that they can take,
right? So the total number of cars have stayed the same. We understand and appreciate that the
current market conditions are imposing significant constraints on the railroads and we're committed to help ease this congestion. However, 26 to 50 percent reduction
in our allocations will have substantial consequences for the markets. All right, so
let's walk through this, Rick. So a pilot and flying jay, everybody, if you've driven any distance at all, you've seen the truck stops.
They're very busy.
And I didn't realize that they provide 20% of all diesel fuel that's running on American highways and interstates today.
So obviously they're a significant player in this particular industry.
But now they're being told.
By the railroad. by the railroad,
Union Pacific,
that they have to reduce
their allocation of diesel fuel,
their ability to transport it to them,
by 26 to 50%.
And for whatever reason,
they can't get a solid answer
on why this is the case.
Because their usage has not dramatically gone up or anything like that.
It's been static, like he said.
Okay.
Does Union Pacific, do they drill oil?
No, not that I'm aware of.
Do they own refineries?
I don't think so.
Of course not.
What does Union Pacific do to make money?
They move things from one point to another.
They move cargo and fuel.
So they don't manufacture anything.
They just move stuff that somebody else has moved, right?
Yes.
So for Union Pacific to be in business, they haul stuff that people want.
Right.
They're a shipper.
Large quantities.
All right.
So Flying J pilot moves a lot of diesel fuel on Union Pacific railroad cars, tanker cars.
This is real simple to understand.
Flying J needs the diesel. They buy it. They don't buy the diesel from Union Pacific. They buy it from diesel providers, refineries. There's
nowhere here that we're hearing that the refineries are saying to Flying J, you have to cut your orders by 50%.
Right.
It's the person, the entity in between.
That hauls it.
Yes.
Union Pacific.
That's the part that doesn't make sense.
If the CEO said, look, the refineries have told us they can't keep up with the orders.
We have to do a 50% reduction.
Well, now we need to find out why.
Why can't the refineries produce the diesel?
That's not the issue.
The middleman, the railroad,
that transports the diesel from the refinery
to the facilities of Flying J, they're refusing to haul the diesel from the refinery to the facilities of Flying J.
They're refusing to haul the diesel.
Therefore, we have a diesel shortage.
That is evidence right there.
It's man-made.
Right.
Now, I asked you the question earlier as we were kind of walking through this.
Maybe Union Pacific is short on railroad cars.
Well, but that can't be the case
because if it was,
they would simply raise the price
of the ability to ship, you know,
and that would impact the price of diesel.
Supply and demand.
Right.
Now, that's a good point, Doc.
If Union Pacific was saying to Flag J,
hey, there's so many people that want our railroad cars,
we're going to have to bump up the prices 50%.
Yes.
Okay, that would make sense, wouldn't it?
Yes.
But that's not what they're saying.
They're simply saying we're not going to haul it.
Right.
And we're not going to tell you why.
The why may be because Union Pacific is making more money
by being paid by somebody
not to ship.
And who could that somebody be?
Well, it could only be the United States government.
Somebody has to be paying the railroad
not to ship products.
What's going on with baby formula?
Abbott Laboratories produces 43% of the baby formula out
of one plant in Michigan. So back in February, the Food and Drug Administration shut down the plant
on a safety issue. Several babies died. The common denominator in the deaths was both mothers gave their babies the same formula
from Abbott. That's a legitimate concern. That's a legitimate concern. But to this day,
there's been no scientific proof that there was anything wrong with the formula. That's true.
None, no proof whatsoever.
But the FDA will not allow Abbott to reopen.
And so now we have a national baby food shortage,
a baby formula shortage,
so bad that Biden had to send the U.S. military
to Germany last week
to bring military transport planes loaded with baby formula
even though down on the Texas border, government warehouses are filled to the roof
with baby formula for the illegals coming across the border.
Tell me, is it a real shortage or is it manufactured?
Very obvious, what's going on?
It's a manufactured shortage.
If I were the FDA director,
and my agency had shut down a baby formula
manufacturing plant in February,
and by early June,
there was a national shortage,
and children were going without baby formula,
and moms were becoming frantic.
Then why isn't that happening?
My only priority would be
open up that Abbott laboratory facility
and get the baby formula rollin'.
Let's get it done.
But he doesn't seem to be really bothered about it.
No, he doesn't at all.
And the White House is, quote,
standing behind the FDA commissioner in this process.
That's what they said.
Because the man behind the curtains,
and I believe the man behind the curtains is Barack Hussein
Obama is orchestrating the takedown of the United States of America they're
imploding the country so that the system collapses and a takeover is easy we're TAKE OVER IS EASY. WE'RE WITNESSING THIS TAKEDOWN
RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.
AND THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
HAPPENING IN SO MANY DIFFERENT
DIRECTIONS THAT IT'S
OVERWHELMING THE PEOPLE
TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU MADE A COMMENT
SEVERAL MONTHS BACK THAT
IT SEEMS AS IF A LOT OF THESE
PROBLEMS THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED ARE ACTUALLY BEING COORDINATED AT SOME LEVEL. that it seems as if a lot of these problems that are being produced
are actually being coordinated at some level.
Maybe it's at a level, not even a human level,
maybe artificial intelligence is saying,
if you change this dial a little bit here
and this dial a little bit here,
change diesel fuel supply here,
baby food supply here, wheat supply here.
You can change everything else that's going on around the world.
It's very possible. It is very possible.
It also could be just people that want to destroy the country
so that they can implement a new system.
It's just Alan Greenspan called creative destruction.
Quickly, in the remaining minutes,
we're going to go to the Uvalde, Texas school shooting.
Some really shocking things coming out
in the past 24 hours
since we were last here with you.
Wall Street Journal,
Uvalde shooter fired outside the school
for 12 minutes before entering the school.
Somebody tell me, how does a scruffy 18-year-old,
supposedly armed with a semi-automatic rifle. How does he walk around on the school grounds
for 12 minutes shooting his gun
and nobody, no police showed up?
Well, and that's part of the timeline problem too
because apparently he crashed his grandmother's truck
in front of the school.
Right.
And that was at 1140.
Wouldn't that get the police there?
Well, they did arrive.
According to the timeline, police arrived at 1144.
But he was shooting for 12 minutes.
I know.
That's what bugs me about this headline.
I mean, I can show you the timeline where it says that he crashed his truck at 1140.
Police had responded by 1144.
So what was going on? Were they writing up a traffic summons while he was shooting his gun?
It's wild to me, Rick. And apparently in the stories, he's got two AR-15s.
The story today that he had 58 rounds, had 58 magazines with him.
Now, Rick, you've been around guns and rifles all your life.
How much does a magazine weigh?
A couple pounds, right? He's carrying 58 of them.
And he's hauling all this ammunition
and these weapons. Probably weighed more than he did.
Right. And he's got 12 minutes
to... Outside. He hadn't
gone in the school yet. Yes, he hadn't even gone in the school.
Hadn't even found the unlocked
door. Without the
security guard. Right.
Who was off campus. Who was mysteriously gone.
Right. At like
11.45 in the morning.
A lot of this stuff just doesn't make sense,
which makes people suspicious.
And that's why every time there's a mass shooting,
people ask questions because things don't add up.
I am not denying at all that children were killed.
It makes me sick.
It just, it makes me, I mean, it is disturbing.
But what's even more disturbing is that
the possibility that there were people
in very dark places of power
that orchestrate these shootings. And that I very much believe
has happened. I've said in the past, I believe that there are kill teams in the United States.
Did this kid go in there? Absolutely. No doubt in my mind.
Was anybody else with him? I'd like to know that.
I'd like to know that too.
Because in other mass shootings, eyewitnesses have seen multiple shooters.
Remember the one in the grocery store in Texas?
The people said there were multiple shooters.
Right.
And then it got down to one.
Yes.
The Sikh temple several years ago,
eyewitnesses said several shooters.
Then the story got down to one, okay?
I don't know, I have not seen anything
about multiple shooters, but what I do know is
things don't make sense.
Let's read some of the things from the Wall Street Journal.
Because the people there in Uvalde,
they also say this doesn't make sense.
Well, local residents voiced anger Thursday
about the time it took to end the mass shooting
at the elementary school there
as police laid out a fresh timeline
that showed the gunman entered the building unobstructed
after lingering outside for 12 minutes firing shots.
How do you linger outside a school shooting a gun?
Carrying two guns and a big duffel bag full of magazines.
Victor Escalon, a regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety,
gave a new timeline of how the now-deceased gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos,
walked into Robb Elementary School, barricaded himself in the classroom,
and killed 19 children and two teachers.
Now, Mr. Escalon said he couldn't say
why no one stopped Ramos from entering the school during that time Tuesday. Most of the shots Ramos
fired came during the first several minutes after he entered the school. People who arrived at the
school while Ramos locked himself in a classroom or saw videos of police waiting outside were
furious. The police were doing nothing, said Anjali Rose Gomez,
who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary
where her children are in second and third grade.
They were just standing outside the fence.
They weren't going in there or running anywhere.
The Department of Public Safety officials previously said an armed officer
confronted Ramos as he arrived at the school.
Mr. Escon said Thursday that information was incorrect and no one encountered Ramos as he
arrived at the school. There was not an officer readily available and armed. Because he took a
walk. He was AWOL. And nobody's asking. He was off campus. Nobody's asked this school security officer, why did you go AWOL?
Yes.
I'd like to know that question.
I'd like to ask that security officer that question.
Where were you?
Ramo shot his grandmother Tuesday morning and drove her truck to Robb Elementary School,
crashed in the vehicle into a nearby ditch at 1128 a.m., according to the timeline laid out by Mr. Escalon.
These timeline numbers are changing, by the way. He then began shooting at
people at a funeral home across the street, prompting a 911 call
reporting a gunman at the school at 1130.
Who shoots at dead people?
Now, think about Now, listen.
Now, think about this, Rick.
He climbed a chain-link fence about eight foot high onto school grounds
and began firing before walking inside.
Carrying two rifles and...
And a duffel bag with 58 magazines in it.
The first police arrived on the scene at 1144 and exchanged gunfire with Ramos,
who locked himself in a fourth-grade classroom.
There he killed the students and teachers.
A Border Patrol tactical team went into the school an hour later, around 1240 p.m.,
and was able to get into the classroom and kill Ramos, Mr. Escalon said.
The Border Patrol SWAT team wasn't the sheriff.
No, it wasn't the police chief.
It wasn't the Uvalde City Police. Federal Border Patrol.
So the question that I have is were they waiting
for that Border Patrol tactical team to arrive or
did the Border Patrol tactical team said
we need to take matters into our own hands? Well,
we read from the New York Post today.
Heroic officer rushed into Uvalde school with barber shotgun to save daughter and wife.
An off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent fearlessly rushed into Robb Elementary School
with his barber shotgun and rescued dozens of children and his daughter
after his wife texted him that there was an active shooter.
Jacob Alvarado had just sat down for a haircut when he received the horrifying message from his wife,
Tricia, a fourth grade teacher at the Uvalde Texas Elementary School.
He told the New York Times there's an active shooter, she wrote.
Help, she sent before sending a chilling I love you.
He immediately leapt out of his seat, grabbed the barber's shotgun. I like
that barber. And sped off. It was Texas. And sped off towards the school. His daughter, a second
grader, was locked inside of a bathroom wall. His wife hid under desk with her students.
In another wing of the school, 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos had opened fire and ultimately
murdered 19 children and two teachers.
A tactical team was preparing to enter the school where the killer was located when Alvarado arrived at the scene.
Desperate to get his daughter and wife out, he made a plan with other officers to try and enter the school and evacuate as many students as possible.
Okay, so now, this is the evidence of what we heard yesterday,
that there were law enforcement officers who independently entered the school to rescue their children. Right. I do not criticize this man at all. He's very brave. Right. He's a good dad.
He's a good husband. He did what every dad and every husband would do.
Yes.
He stormed into the school, risked his own life to save his daughter and his wife.
But other officers were standing outside.
The other officers were outside, about 100 of them.
So he got his wife and daughter out.
They helped a couple other kids get out.
But he didn't go back in to kill the killer.
He did what he came to do,
save his daughter and his wife.
Right.
You see where I'm going with that?
Yes.
He did what he had to do for his own family.
But he didn't go back in to kill the killer.
Now that New York Post article
goes on to say that he said
he entered the wing of the school where he knew his daughter
was located and as he searched
for her began clearing all the classes
in her wing. Two officers
provided cover with guns drawn
while two others guided dozens of hysterical
children and teachers out to the sidewalk, he said.
When Alvarado finally saw his eight-year-old daughter,
Jada, they embraced,
but he kept moving forward to bring more students.
Okay, so we've got five police officers
out of 100 that were there.
That were clearing kids out of the school.
Yes.
But he organized it.
Yes.
For the sake of his daughter and wife.
And I do not fault him on that.
Of course he would do it.
But if he didn't have a daughter and wife in there,
would he have done it?
Probably not.
Here's a picture of Jacob Alvarado and his wife, Patricia.
And so that's a real hero there,
that he went in to rescue his family,
take care of his family,
while there were other families
that were being held back out in the parking lot.
Not only held back,
but there are reports that law enforcement
handcuffed parents.
And maced.
And maced them.
Yes.
Now, you might be asking yourself,
well, why didn't police go in?
I mean, isn't that their job to go in?
I mean, sort of like a fireman.
You know, if there's a house on fire,
you know, I credit any fireman
that's crazy enough to go into a burning building,
but that's what he trains to do, right?
Are police not trained to go into situations like this
and fight for the community?
Because the only reason why Jacob Alvarado...
I just assumed that they were.
So the only reason why Jacob Alvarado
found himself in there,
because like you said,
his wife and daughter were inside.
And it didn't matter if he was law enforcement or not.
He got a text from his wife in the school saying,
our daughter and me are trapped in here and there's a gunman.
And he did what any father would do, any husband.
He grabbed the closest gun he could get and he went in.
But he didn't go in for the purpose of saving the other kids.
He went in to get his own kid.
The other hundred cops stood out in the parking lot and allowed that kid to murder 21 people.
You can't explain this away.
There is something very wrong in the story. Well, Texas police lieutenant spokesperson talked
to CNN about why there was this reluctance to engage the gunman. We have this video from CNN.
Here's the explanation. But don't current best practices, Lieutenant, call for officers to disable a shooter as quickly as possible, regardless of how many officers are actually on site?
Correct. The active shooter situation, you want to stop the killing, you want to preserve life.
But also, one thing that, of course, the American people need to understand is that officers are making entry into this building.
They do not know where the gunman is.
They are hearing gunshots.
They are receiving gunshots.
At that point, if they proceeded any further not knowing where this suspect was at, they could have been shot.
They could have been killed.
And at that point, that gunman would have the opportunity to kill other people inside that school. So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom
so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school
to commit any other killings.
Because he was out of ammo by that point.
Right.
An hour later, he was shooting outside the school for 12 minutes.
Even before he got into the school, they didn't stop him there,
but they've got him stopped in a classroom, locked in with 20 targets.
Think about it.
And the cops are afraid to go in because they may get shot.
And there's 100 cops and one shooter.
Well, you want to take it a step further, this is the next one.
This is from the Daily Mail.
Look, Rick, top Texas cop breaks down
as he reveals 19 officers stood outside the classroom
where gunman trapped victims doing nothing.
Outside the classroom?
Because Uvalde police chief thought everyone was dead
despite kids continuing to call 911
from inside the classroom.
My gosh. It was clearly the wrong classroom. My gosh.
It was clearly the wrong decision.
No kidding.
The wrong decision was he went into law enforcement.
We have this clip from NBC News where Colonel Stephen McCraw is trying to make this explanation
about trying to understand this timeline.
And this is the clip where he says, it was clearly the wrong decision.
Watch this.
And for the benefit of hindsight, where I'm sitting now,
of course it was not the right decision.
It was the wrong decision.
Very wrong.
There's no excuse for that.
But again, I wasn't there, but I'm just telling you,
from what we know, we believe there should have been
an entry at that as soon as you can.
Hey, when there's an active shooter, the rules change.
It's no longer, okay, it's no longer a barricaded subject.
You don't have time. You don't worry about matter printers.
And by the way, Texas embraces active shooter training, active shooter certification.
And that doctrine requires officers.
We don't care what agency you're from.
You don't have to have a leader on the scene.
Every officer lines up, stacks up,
goes and finds where those rounds are being fired at
and keeps shooting until the subject is dead.
So at what point did they make the decision to say...
When they thought everybody was dead.
Right.
There are no more kids left for him to kill.
We better go in there.
Doc, this story stinks.
It really does.
This story really stinks.
So a kid walks into, you know, climbs an eight-foot chain link fence.
First of all, that part of the story bothers me.
Taking ammo, taking rifles, taking everything,
hangs around outside for 12 minutes shooting things up,
gets into the school, somehow a door is unlocked, propped, opened.
They're saying a teacher did it.
That he gets in the school and finds himself barricaded in there for an hour with 21 targets.
And just shoots all of them while 100 cops stand out in the parking lot.
With 19 of them right there outside the classroom.
Yeah.
20 of them, you know, right there.
But they're waiting for the Border Patrol to show up with their tactical team.
I'm just, it doesn't sound right.
And then the stories of the parents saying the police were arresting them, macing them.
I mean, because the parents wanted to, they were yelling at the cops, why aren't you going in?
We'll go in.
And so the police were more interested in roughing up the parents than going inside the school and stopping a killer.
It looks really bad. And in fact, Texas Tribune said it was so bad Greg Abbott didn't even show
up for the NRA convention. But he had a statement later this afternoon, Rick, I don't know if you've
heard this yet or not. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he was misled about police response to school shooting
and is livid about what happened.
I bet he is.
So obviously there was a different story that was told to Governor Abbott
when he visited there earlier this week and did his press conference where Beto O'Rourke crashed it. Well, you've got the NRA conference that's going on right now in Houston.
And I suspect that's going to be pretty rowdy on the outside
that pro-gun control people will be out in force in the streets of Houston.
So it's going to be pretty rowdy.
Bad time to hold an NRA convention in Houston, in Texas.
A number of people have already backed out.
Some of the entertainers, Don McLean, Lee Greenwood,
others have said, we're not, sorry, we're not coming.
We're not performing, not singing.
And, you know, the NRA is in, you know, they're already in bankruptcy.
Yes.
It's not looking good for the NRA right now.
Public relations disaster for them. But more than that, it's a public relations disaster for Texas law enforcement.
Because after this, I don't know how any parent could think,
oh, if my child was in danger,
the cops are going to risk their life to save my child.
Yes.
Now they're going to ask that question.
Nope.
No, they're not.
Nope.
They might get shot. Can't go in there. Might get shot. Be like a fireman saying, can't go in there. I can't go in that question. Nope. No, they're not. Nope. They might get shot. Can't go in there.
Might get shot. Be like a fireman saying, I can't go in that house. I might get burned.
Then aren't you in the wrong job? How about a soldier? I can't go to war. I might get shot.
You're in the wrong job. Or maybe, maybe American men have just stopped being men.
Maybe that's what it is, Doc.
They just stopped being men.
Maybe they've been so feminized in this country,
they're not men anymore.
They just want to look like men, but they're not men.
I think some people need to do
some real serious soul searching right now.
What are we?
What are we right now?
What kind of people are we?
Grown men with guns and badges,
afraid to go in to save children?
You're not a man.
You get mad at me,
you can do anything you want.
You're not a man.
You're a coward.
There were moms that had more courage
than those cops.
I have a feeling more is going to come out this weekend I really think by Monday we're going to be going
oh my gosh
can you believe this
I think a lot more is going to come out
hey
go ahead and get the book
final day, appreciate your support
a lot of people have been ordering this week, Rick.
Yeah, you know, and I said yesterday,
because the new TV show,
we're going to move up the price for the book.
You have to blame Biden.
You know, he did it.
But we do need more support for the television show.
We're buying time on three television networks.
And so in the month of June and July and August, we're going to be offering the book at $40.
That includes shipping.
And the autographed copy will be $150.
So it was supposed to start this Monday.
We've delayed it for a week.
It will be the following week, June 6th.
Okay?
So this week, you can still get it at $19.95 plus shipping
and this autographed copy at $100.
So this week is the time to do it.
We got them in stock, ready to go. After next Monday,
they'll be at a higher price because we need the support to cover the cost of the new TV show.
You're going to like this new show. Those of you who are hard news junkies and you don't care about
the kingdom of God, you're probably not going to like it. But those of you who are interested in Bible teaching,
you're going to like the show.
It's a different flavor.
It's a different me.
I'm able to show a different side
than what I do in this program,
talking about idiots.
I can't.
I'm going to go home, isn't it?
Friday.
Hey, we won't be here Monday.
It's a holiday, and I'm going to stay home,
and I'm not going to work on Monday.
And Doc's not going to work on Monday.
So we don't have a true news for Monday.
Right.
But we'll be back here on Tuesday.
Years ago, for many years, I worked like crazy,
and I made sure there was a program out every single day.
I never missed a day.
I was a good boy, Doc.
I never missed a day.
I was so proud of myself.
I don't do that anymore.
No.
I'm going to take the day off like everybody else.
It's like everybody else was home enjoying the day,
and then because they're yelling at me,
why don't you have a true news done?
Because I got to come in and work.
Okay?
I don't do that anymore.
Everybody else is taking the day off.
I'm going to take the day off too.
All right?
We'll be back here on Tuesday.
All right?
God bless.
Love you so much.
Happy Memorial Day.
