TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - WSJ: Trump Team Wants to Bomb Iran in Early 2025

Episode Date: December 13, 2024

The Russian defense ministry launched a powerful aerial attack on Ukraine early Friday. The massive wave of air strikes targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and fuel facilities that are essential to Ukraine’s military weapons industry. President Zelensky said it was the heaviest air strike since the start of the war. He said the Russians sought to destroy Ukraine’s power grid in the cold month of December.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

We'll be right back. the russian defense ministry launched a powerful aerial attack on ukraine early friday the massive wave of airstrikes targeted ukraine's energy energy infrastructure and fuel facilities that are essential to ukraine's military weapons industry president zelensky said it was the heaviest airstrike since the start of the war he said the russians sought to to destroy Ukraine's power grid in the cold month of December. This is True News for Friday, December 13, 2024. Let's begin our

analysis and commentary of today's World War III news by looking at this Newsweek headline, Russia launches massive attack on Ukraine with 93 missiles, 200 drones. And I assume, Doc, the Ukrainians tried to shoot down the drones. Why would they, Rick? Do drones pose a threat to the Ukrainians? In Ukraine, they do. Yes. In most countries, drones coming from the ocean or another country is a threat okay all right but this wasn't good news for the ukrainians obviously right not a good way to start

out friday the 13th if you're superstitious it is good news for americans how's that i'll show you the next headline this is rt russia's ministry defense explains reasons for latest retaliatory strikes on ukraine remember the attackams the other day was that wednesday yes ukraine attacked military sites in southern russia with u.s made attackums and then thursday russia said that they would they would respond now this is what rt reported overnight missile strikes on critically important ukrainian facilities were conducted in response to kiev's recent attackums attack on a russian military airfield the russian defense ministry reported on friday quote in response to the use of american long-range weapons russia's armed forces launched a massive strike with high precision long-range air and sea-based weapons and uavs on critical fuel and energy

infrastructure facilities in ukraine that support the operation of the military industrial complex that's a statement from the russian ministry of defense again not good news for the ukrainians but good news for the americans doc because the russians did not attack an american American military base today. Right. Now, what can we read into this? My hunch is Putin is holding back. He's saying, I'm not going to take Biden's bait.

Biden is baiting me. Whoever is running the White House, they're baiting me to strike an American base in the remaining weeks of the Biden administration. I think Putin wisely held back and said, I'm going to hit Ukraine hard. We're going to do something really hard. It's going to hurt them.

But I'm not taking the bait and attacking an American air base. We've got to get to January 20th. Putin knows that the game that NATO and Biden is playing is to get him to come out and fight with nuclear weapons or hypersonic weapons, attacking the U.S. or a NATO member before Donald Trump gets in the White House. He knows it. And so he didn't take the bait. He did hit hard. So will Ukraine hit again next week?

How long is this going to continue? Going back and forth trying to get Russia to attack a U.S military base well this idea seems to be reinforced by uh Donald Trump's latest uh appointee the uh his emissary for the for Russia and Ukraine uh General Keith Kellogg um Toss is reporting here that Keith Kellogg believes Donald Trump will resolve the conflict in Ukraine within months. They are basing this reporting on a Fox Business interview that Kellogg gave here very recently. It had some interesting comments in it.

First, about the suggestion of inviting both Putin and Zelensky to the inauguration, of all things. So Donald Trump invited Xi Jinping to the inauguration, but it looks like Xi has turned him down. Yes, I saw that report. Larry Kudlow suggested, why don't you invite Zelensky and Putin? And work out a deal. And while they're in town, get them over to the White House and solve the problem. Right. So that's in this interview or this clip here that we're talking about today.

But further in the interview, Kellogg makes the statement that Donald Trump will definitely be able to wind this down. He said within months. We were talking about 24 hours, but he's saying months. Within months. This is General Kellogg being interviewed by Larry Kudlow. Let's watch. General Kellogg, let me just continue this guest list conversation we're having. Would you advocate inviting Putin and Zelensky and then after the inaugural sitting down with them and talking or the next couple of days sitting down with them in Washington, D.C., not, you know, not in Europe, someplace right here in Washington, D.C., and try to hammer out a deal.

Yeah, you know, Larry, anything that President Trump does, President Trump plays, you know, three level chess. And it wouldn't surprise me if he did something like that. Could he do it? Of course he could do it. He'd make such a bold move. But when it comes to Ukraine and Russia, I really do believe this is going to get solved within the next few months because he's the only person who could do that as President Donald J. Trump. And he will do it. They're tired of killing each other over there. This is time, as the president said in September when Zelensky came to Trump Tower.

They actually didn't say within several months after donald trump gets in the white house but several months from now from now yes which indicates that they're actually working on it now this this is unprecedented that a president-elect is conducting foreign policy and the sitting president basically is out to lunch right or actually the sitting president is trying to mess up the incoming administration but they're not stopping him right donald trump is for is really the acting president right now and the whole world knows it that's true and so they're they're waiting on him to come in. But what General Kellogg said is he's confident the Ukraine-Russia war will be settled within several months. Does he mean two months from January 20 or two months from now?

I like your perspective on it. And so two months from now. I hope it's two months from now. Now, the next story is in The Guardian, London's Guardian. Russia's sabotage of Western targets could trigger NATO defense clause. This is dirty pool, isn't it? You see it, Doc? Yeah.

All we got to do is just cut a cable somewhere and say the Russians did it. So Russia's act of sabotage against Russian targets may eventually prompt NATO to consider invoking the alliance's Article V mutual defense clause. The head of Germany's Foreign Intelligence Service has warned, speaking at an event in the German capital and the German Council of Foreign Relations think tank in Berlin, BND Chief Bruno Kahl said he expected moscow to further step up its hybrid warfare the extensive use of hybrid measures by russia increases the risk that nato will eventually consider invoking article 5 and that's the mutual defense clause he noted

at the same time the increasing ramp up of the russian military potential means a direct military confrontation with nato becomes one possible option for the kremlin now call said russia's military would likely be capable of attacking nato directly by the end of the decade adding that moscow's war on ukraine meant that it had battle-proven troops under its command which raised the threat emanating from its conventional forces. When did Mr. Kohl say they expect Russia to be ready for all-out war? By the end of the decade. That's five years away. 1929?

I mean, 2029? 2030? Yes. We keep bumping up against 2030. Yes. It's all going to shake out in 2030 rick it is but we're going to have some rocky roads between now and 2030 one thing as much i mean i'm hopeful that we can get to january 20th without a a nuclear event.

But this kind of talk out of this German official, this is what worries me, Doc. A false flag event between now and January 20th. Let's say that another pipeline or a cable line gets cut and it's a false flag operation. Would they say they got

the evidence? We know the Russians did it. This is fingerprints all over it. This is an attack on NATO and we're going to war. Would that trip Article five? That's the question. Well, they're already floating the idea out there, Rick. If they get enough of these leaders on board, though, they'll go for it. OK, so they're saying they believe Russia will be ready for all out war by the end of the decade.

Twenty twenty nine. Twenty thirty. Does it mean they are ready now? Okay, so they're saying they believe Russia will be ready for all-out war by the end of the decade, 2029, 2030. Does it mean they are ready now? And they want to stop? They want to get it going before Russia gets ready? I personally think neither side's ready. And that's what's going on right now. Both sides are building up their weaponry, their armies, their warheads. They're getting ready for this colossal war that's coming. But they got to keep it hot to keep the public on edge to support the spending.

Right. Not to prepare for war. Just so the public says, go ahead and keep spending our money. Newsweek. Now, this is from the end of November. Yes. Now, here's why I'm bringing this up. The end of November, Newsweek reported

NATO to deploy 100,000 peacekeepers in Ukraine. Russia claims. Notice that? Russia claims. And the way the American and European and european and british media spun this weeks ago was this is russia propaganda right folks this is coming from the

russian intelligence service you can't believe this stuff uh there are no plans to put a hundred thousand nato peacekeepers in ukraine remember all that just weeks ago doc oh yes just weeks ago let me i'm going to read from the newsweek article november 29 russia has claimed that nato is planning to deploy 100 000 peacekeepers in ukraine as part of a plan to prepare kiev for revenge the russian foreign intelligence service believes several nato countries will occupy ukraine under the guise of deploying a peacekeeping contingent in the country now newsweek said no evidence has been provided for this claim and nato or the previous nato secretary generaloltenberg, said the alliance had no intention of deploying forces in Ukraine.

That's November 29. Don't believe this Russian propaganda. That's right. Now, fast forward to today, Rick. Well, today, Zelensky, this is Kiev independent. Zelensky says, yeah, I'm kind of open to this idea of my country occupied by foreign soldiers. I've been thinking about it.

And I like it. I'm open to the idea. Well, for one reason, he's been told this is the plan, dork. Right. Okay, we're putting troops in here. Your day is over. What is he going to say? I'm against it. Right. Okay, we're putting troops in here. Your day is over. What is he going to say? I'm against it?

Right. I'm going to prevent NATO from coming in? He has no war if NATO is not in it. That's right. It's NATO's war. So Zelensky said he may consider. Might do it, might not. I'm thinking about it.

You're doing it. Emmanuel Macron's proposal to deploy foreign peacekeepers in its territory, but only after getting a clear understanding of the NATO membership timeline. I'm telling you frankly, he said, we can work on macron's proposal he proposed that troops of this or that country could be present on ukrainian territory to guarantee security while ukraine is not in nato said zielinski so the two things that started this war was a nato presence in you in ukraine and nat NATO membership of Ukraine. Yes.

That's what Russia was upset about. And so now the proposal to end the war is to put NATO troops in Ukraine and a timeline to join NATO. And they think Putin's going to buy this? Putin's like, a half million of our young men have died because of this idea. There's no way he's going to do it. Doc, they're angry about how many of their young men they've lost. And now, have you seen the latest estimates that Ukraine has lost a million, a million troops? Well, I'm not surprised. I'm not not surprised you know donald trump's the first one to say 400 000 yes they for three years never gave out the ukrainian death toll right and donald

trump said 400 000 now people are saying a million and they quickly confirmed the 400 000 yes they didn't deny it in fact i saw one headline that said trump um i was kind of like they were accusing president trump of of disclosing confidential information but anyhow so what we have is at the end of november the media in america and europe are saying don't listen to the Russians. There are no plans to bring EU peacekeepers into Ukraine. Now, today, Zelensky says, I'm thinking about it. And then we look at this article.

This is RFI. Macron and Tusk of Poland discuss Ukraine's future amid proposals of EU troop deployment. So did they fall for the Russian propaganda? Did they fall for it? No. The Russian intelligence service had intelligence and had it right. The Russian intelligence service said they're getting ready to say we can end the war by putting peacekeepers we don't want to call them soldiers right they're peacekeepers

isn't that nice peacekeepers you wouldn't be against peacekeepers would you the Russians got it right Macron and Tusk today were discussing placing NATO troop deployment inside Ukraine. The very thing that started the war. The threat of NATO soldiers being in Ukraine. Putin said,

it ain't going to happen over my dead body. We're going to go to war. And so, they're coming back and saying, hey, we've got an idea to end the war. We'll put our troops in Ukraine. It is slick. Oh, you've got to hand it to them. It's really slick.

Well, how are the Russians responding to all this stuff? I think this next article says it all. I found a new magazine, Doc. Interesting Engineering. I've never read it until today. I discovered it.

Russia mass produces nuclear-proof bomb shelters. Nuclear-proof. Look what they're doing. Shipping containers. Yes. Turning them into bomb shelters. So Russia has started a mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can offer protection for up to 48 hours in case of a nuclear weapon attack. The ominous move by Moscow comes alongside other developments in which President Vladimir Putin approved changes to the country's nuclear doctrine if you recall now these changes lowered the threshold for russia to use nuclear weapons in the case of an attack by an adversary whether it is nuclear capable or

supported by a nuclear power now the article goes on to say that the mass production of nuclear radiation-proof bunkers which are big enough to accommodate roughly 54 people inside is sure to raise concerns in the u.S. and Europe. According to Russia's Emergency Ministry Research Institute, the KUBM bomb shelters, KABOOM, again, protect people from explosions, shrapnel, debris, chemicals, and even fire. Moreover, these are designed to provide protection for up to 48 hours from the harmful effects of radiation. That's a pretty bold claim there, Rick, 48 hours of radiation protection.

Now, whether it's actually true or not, you know. You'll find out after the 48 hours, you know. You can't get your money back anyhow. But the fact that they are putting these out there and putting the story out there and everything should send a message to Europe. Hey, we're Russia. Okay. We're ready. We're getting ready. Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

Because Interesting Engineering, my new magazine I'm reading, has another article. Switzerland addresses nuclear shelter shortage with World War II bunker upgrades. How about that? The Swiss are saying, you know, we've got all these bunkers built in the mountains.

Right. Let's upgrade them. Yes. Let's get them cleaned up. Just in case. Just in case we'd have to use them. So the nation of Switzerland has appropriated money to upgrade their old World War II bunkers, just in case there's a nuclear war.

So as Rick was mentioning, Switzerland, a nation known for its neutrality and preparedness, is modernizing its network of nuclear shelters. This action comes as global tensions continue to rise, especially in the wake of the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war. The war in Ukraine significantly highlighted the importance of civil defense. Now, as per a Reuters report, the Swiss government is taking a considerable interest in protecting its people by infusing new investments in these protective structures. Now, Doc, there's an article reported, so I didn't know, that Switzerland has a national law that gives you, guarantees to every citizen the right to be in a bunker.

Yes. Like what? be in a bunker. Yes. Like what? It's a law. It's a federal law. A 1963 law mandates that every citizen must have access to a designated shelter space. Now, think about that. They actually care about their people. Right.

They actually care about their citizens. We've got a place for you. Now, take that. Does the United States have a place for every citizen? No, just every billionaire, every federal government official. Oh, no, they have a space. It's just six feet deep. That's the space.

Yeah, for us. So this law that Switzerland passed resulted in a vast network of shelters integrated into Swiss society. Many of these shelters are located in private residences, apartment buildings, and communal spaces. And over the years, these shelters have often served other purposes. They're commonly used as storage areas, wine cellars, or hobby rooms. Their thick concrete walls provide stable temperatures, making them ideal for these purposes. However, the primary function of the shelters is to provide protection from potential threats. This includes bombing and nuclear fallout, but inspections have highlighted the need for upgrades and maintenance in some shelters. Civil protection officers conducting checks have encountered issues. And these issues include jammed doors, a bad thing to have, blocked ventilation, and obstructed escape routes.

These findings show the importance of maintenance and modernization. So, Doc, the Swiss Federal Council appropriated funds starting in 2027. I don't know why they're waiting, but the renovation of these bomb shelters starts in 2027. I have a feeling they're trying to get them ready by 2030. Right. And the money will be used to replace parts in the shelters, ventilation systems, filters, to ensure that the shelters remain functional during emergencies. So starting in two years, the federal government of Switzerland is renovating all of their old World War II bomb shelters. And to me, it sounds like

they have a sense of urgency. Get this done by 2030. Even though 2030 is not in it, I just have a feeling. Internally, they're starting. But I have a feeling there they have a sense of urgency get this done by 2030 it goes on to say that the swiss government's plan to upgrade its nuclear shelters shows the importance of preparedness by investing in these structures

switzerland is taking steps to ensure the safety of its people. Thank you, Switzerland. It's a good country. This is regardless of future challenges. The concept of nuclear bunkers has gained widespread attention lately due to war-like situations in various regions of the world. Well, think about that. They're actually thinking ahead. Hey, there could be a nuclear war. We should protect our people.

What a concept, Rick. Good citizens and good government in Switzerland. A government that's watching out for its people, which is what a government is supposed to be doing. Right. So I congratulate theiss for doing this it goes on to say some of the situations have escalated as much as a nuclear confrontation is also feared therefore the demand for advanced nuclear bunkers has skyrocketed

there's a demand for nuclear bunkers in Switzerland. And governments and private companies are building such facilities. I got a little short video here of Emmanuel Macron and President Tusk trying to outdo each other and do the Donald Trump handshake. It's lacking something, isn't it? Huh? It's weak. It's lacking just something that doesn't look Trumponian. Right.

But they're happy with each other. And, you know, this is part of their plan. They're just mocking Donald Trump in this. No, they're not mocking him. You don't think so? No, they're not mocking him at all. These guys were actually trying to look tough. It was so sad. It was sad.

It was sad. They were trying to do their alpha male thing. Two betas don't make one alpha. No, it doesn't. Okay. Day nine of the 12 Days of Preparedness is here, and today's deal is all about power and portability. Get 30% off backpack radio bundles at American Reserves.

In fact, that's one of the things that propelled him to win the presidency.

That's right. So three cheers for Donald Trump. We want him to succeed in ending that war. But the Wall Street Journal today is reporting the Trump team is considering options, including airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. The Zionists have their hooks in Donald Trump. Folks, you can get upset with me. It's the truth. Yes. it's the truth. He's not even in the White House and they're already telling him, Mr. Trump, you're going to go down in history as the man who defeated Iran.

You've got to do it as soon as you get in the White House. Just start bombing. What's the disconnect there in his head? Right. How is it that not bombing Ukraine is a good thing, but bombing Iran is a good thing? Well, I can tell you, Miriam Alderson, $100 million to the Trump campaign. That's right.

It's as simple as that, Doc. Donald Trump, according to the Journal here, is weighing options for stopping Iran from being able to build a nuclear weapon, including the possibility of airstrikes, preemptive airstrikes, a move that would break with longstanding policy of containing Tehran with diplomacy and sanctions. serious review by some members of his transition team being reported here by the journal who are weighing the fall of the regime president bashar al-assad tehran's ally in syria the future of u.s troops in the region and israel's decimation of regime proxy militias hezbollah and hamas so it goes on it says president trump told benjamin Netanyahu in recent calls that he is concerned about an Iranian nuclear breakout on his watch. Two people familiar with the conversation said signaling that he is looking for proposals to prevent that outcome. The president elect president elect wants plans to stop short of igniting a new war, particularly one that could pull in the U.S. military as strikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities have the potential to put the U.S. and Iran on a collision course.

Well, airstrikes would do that, wouldn't it? On nuclear facilities. Right. What else does Iran have they can do? They can do, they've got two options. Just lay down and take it. Just get bombed to smithereens. Or launch everything they

have and hit U.S. military bases. Especially if they hear stuff like this. Does Donald Trump really want to see American soldiers, Marines, sailors, does he really want to see them killed in his first weeks in office for the sake of Israel and Bibi Netanyahu? No, but Bibi does. Bibi does. Absolutely.

That slimy snake is looking for a way to get a war started. But seriously, I mean, it just troubles me if this is true, that Donald Trump didn't say to whoever these people are, get out of here. Get out of here. Give me another solution. Yeah. Not this. We're not going to have a war with Iran. But I have a gut feeling that that is the case here that israel is because everybody in his administration is a sinus that's right and like you said you can get mad as if you want but

you know it's true the president-elect's transition team is devising what is calling a maximum pressure 2.0 strategy against the iranian. People familiar with planning said the sequel to his first term approach centering on strict economic sanctions. This time, the president elect and his aides are fleshing out military steps that could be central to its anti-Tehran campaign, though still paired with tighter financial penalties. The two broad options have come up in discussions, including in some talks that have taken place with President-elect Trump, for people familiar with the planning said. One path, described by two people familiar with the plan, involves augmenting military pressure

by sending more U.S. forces, warplanes, and ships to the Middle East. Now, the U.S. could also sell advanced weapons to Israel, such as bunker-busting bombs, strengthening its offensive power to take on the Iranian nuclear facilities offline. Now, the article goes on to say that this alternative path is to seek to use the threat of military force, especially if paired with U.S.-imposed sanctions, to drive Tehran into accepting a diplomatic resolution. That's the strategy Trump employed with North Korea in his first term, although the diplomacy eventually faltered. The only reason why that faltered is he left office.

That's why it faltered. Now, remember what I told you the other day about why George W. Bush wanted to take out Saddam Hussein. And he let it slip one day. He said he tried to kill my dad. Right. It was personal. Yeah, it was personal. Next sentence.

Next paragraph. It isn't clear which option Trump, who has talked about avoiding a third world war. Well, that's nice. And brokering deals with tehran would choose while trump has insisted that he seeks to avoid massive escalation in the middle east he told time magazine in an interview that there is a chance the u.s could go to war with iran partly because tehran plotted to assassinate him it's personal he bought the lie he bought the propaganda he did it doc right this u.s intelligence agencies fbi secret service twice tried to kill him

during the campaign come on let's be real that was the the U.S. Secret Service. That was the FBI. And they spun that thing around and they said, we've got evidence Iran's trying to kill Trump. No, we got evidence the FBI is trying to kill Trump. The evidence was everything we saw happen in Butler, PA. That's the evidence. The evidence is what we saw happen at at Mar-a-Lago a secret service agent who fired his gun six times five feet away from an assassin and missed him that's the evidence incredible Iran wasn't involved in it but the deep state boys, they knew how to get to Trump. Tell him that Iran is trying to kill him.

All they have to do is sit down and brief him. See, this is what I think happened to George W. Bush. I don't think President Bush deliberately deceived the American people about Iraq. He was deceived. He bought it and then acted on it. Yes. I believe they sat down with him inside the White House and said, Mr.

Fred, we got to tell you what's going on here. And you're right. He is completely surrounded by pro-Zion influences. Yes. Everybody, you know, there's nobody there that would say,

Hey, there's not a dissident voice within that. So there's nobody around him who would say, Mr. Trump, that stuff is BS. These are Zionists trying to get you to start a war. Right. And when he was asked directly in that Time interview, would he be going to war with Iran?

He said, hey, anything can happen. He said, it's a very volatile situation stuff i tell you what the volatile situation is is being surrounded by all these pro-zionist influences that's the volatile situation the danger situation well let's look at how world war three telegraph in london russian troops rapidly withdraw from syria good this is spectacular what we've witnessed since last weekend the collapse of biblical syria yes it's the end of the country doc it's it's i really believe they're going to chop it up it is going to be carved up israel will get a big chunk of it for greater israel turkey will get a big chunk the kurds will get their own country it will be divided divided up. Right. And not only the

troops, but also wheat supplies have been suspended. Russian wheat supplies to Syria have been suspended, according to Russian and Syrian sources, as Moscow's forces appear to be quickly withdrawing from the country. Two vessels carrying Russian wheat for Syria, a vital lifeline for its population that has endured 13 years of civil war, did not reach their destinations on Friday. The sources told Reuters that the supplies had stopped due to the uncertainty of the new government and payment delays. I think no one would dare supply wheat to Syria under the current circumstances, he said. Dr. Rizzo, what we're seeing on screen right now is actual video today of Russian military units fleeing Syria right and this is on top of Russian warships that have already left Tardis the other day that we were mentioning now this latest footage it appears to show convoys of

military trucks streaming down motorways appearing to hit for the coast as well as military planes taking off as well. So Russia is basically saying we're out of Syria at this point because the whole purpose of this was to try to draw Russia into a conflict in Syria too. That way they put additional pressure on Russia. they were hoping russia would fight right but the west won either way that's true if the russians fought they got them bogged down in a war in syria if they left hey we get your military bases and you know what here here's what i've concluded on this rick and correct me you know if I'm wrong the West could have done this at any time over the past 13 years they could have they have could have thrown the switch at any time over

the past 13 oh yes any day but they chose this last week to do it yes because they needed it yes just like um Israel had the pagers yes they waited for the moment but the pagers. Yes. They waited for the moment, but the pagers had been sent to Hezbollah. Months, maybe even a couple years earlier. I think several years earlier. Yeah. Homeland Security speaks out about the mystery New Jersey drone threat. Threat?

It doesn't appear to be a threat to Homeland Security. Not to Homeland Security. No, there's no threat no threat and in fact that's what it says says uh the department of homeland security has spoken out following reports of a mysterious drone threat in new jersey in a joint statement with the fbi they said there is no evidence that the drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus. The appearance of the drones has confounded law enforcement and large drones spotted across the state have evaded traditional detection methods. The DHS said. Yes. Wait a minute.

Homeland Security said our traditional methods of identifying these objects have been evaded. What were your traditional methods? I'd like to know that. What were those traditional methods? Looking up in the sky and seeing a drone? Was that the traditional method in the past? Was there some other method?

Well, Doc, I will tell you one thing. Federal law, FAA regulations, every plane and every drone has to have a registration number registered with the federal government. And the markings have to be on the vehicle. Right. We've owned drones in this ministry. Yes. And we've had to have licensed operators for the drones. That's right. I mean, we know what we're talking about here. But every drone must have its registration number visible on the vehicle.

Likewise with a plane, you know, on the tail of the plane. It's easy to spot who owns an aircraft. And why would they put that information on those aircraft? To identify them and identify who they come from. So if there are no registration numbers on these drones, see if the registration's number there, then you instantly have identified them. And you can hold a press conference and say we know exactly who owns the drones. But if there are no markings on the drones, then they are in violation of federal law.

Now, listen to this article from Newsweek here and what it says in this next paragraph. The FBI, DHS, and federal partners, along with the New Jersey State Police, are continuing to deploy both personnel and technology to investigate the situation. Now, listen to what they say here. They are looking into whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sighting. Now, if you just read that article and glossed over everything and you missed that line in there, manned aircraft. Yes. Or inaccurate sightings.

You don't know what you're looking at. What am I looking at then? Tell me. Tell me what I'm looking at. They are actually now saying we're considering the possibility that citizens are misinterpreting what they're seeing in the sky. You know, it could be a goose. A goose with lights. With lights.

Well, officials have – But, man, Dr. Now saying is they're telling you now there could be people in these drones. Yeah. How big are they? Well, remember that one guy yesterday said, I saw one 40 by 40, bigger than a two-car garage. Oh, no, you don't know what you're seeing there. No, I saw something with lights on. Now, officials have speculated on this, that the objects could be airplanes or repeated sightings of the same drone, and that the DHS highlighted that the department has historically experienced cases of mistaken identities.

See, they're now insulting our intelligence. Where reported drones have been manned aircraft or facilities. They are insulting the intelligence of the people now. It could be that thousands of people reported the same one drone. But that's not what you saw. But they're insulting your

intelligence. Right. Or, what was the other one? It could also be cases of mistaken identities. Which I could say maybe a few of those, but not the predominant number that we've seen since the middle of November, really. Now, Connecticut Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal has said the drone should be shot down if necessary. This is a Democrat saying shoot it down and said that lack of information is absolutely unacceptable.

Law enforcement and other agencies investigating the reports have uncovered no malicious activity or intent. I don't give a hoot. The fact that you're flying and we don't know what it is, that's malicious activity. Really, honestly, I hope

we don't go here. I just, I'm not ready for it. But the fact they said banned aircraft. I have been talking, I don't know, 20, 23, 24 years about the disclosure moment.

Right. You know what the disclosure moment is? The aliens are here and they've been here for a while. Yes. I've been anticipating it for several decades. And now they're invading New Jersey. That's what we're... Because when they introduce

manned aircraft... Are we talking little green men? That's what I said. How big are they? Are they little green men? What are we being told? What are we being a little green man that's what i want that's why i said how big are they okay are they little green men what are we being told what are we being set up to to be fed ari we have to tell you the reason that we know that they have no plans no malicious intent is we've been communicating with them and they have assured us they're only here to observe us. And to make matters even worse, John Kirby came out yesterday and made a statement regarding – Honest John. Representing the White House.

This is from NBC News. White House downplays mystery drones as key lawmakers demand answers. And so they trotted out old John Kirby there yesterday. And first of all, we'll just do John's opening statement, Mr. Kirby's opening statement here. Then we'll talk about it a little bit. So let's just hear what he had to say to open up this whole discussion about the New Jersey drone invasion. Now, finally, I just want to add a few comments on the reports of drone activity here on the East Coast, particularly in and around New Jersey. We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat or have

a foreign nexus. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin. Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings. To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully. The United States Coast Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement from coastal vessels. And importantly, there are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace. which is why law enforcement and other agencies continue to support New Jersey and investigate the reports,

even though they have uncovered no malicious activity or intent at this particular stage. While there is no known malicious activity occurring, the reported sightings there do, however, highlight a gap in authorities. And so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities so that we are better prepared to identify and mitigate any potential threats to airports or other critical infrastructure and so that state and local authorities are provided all the tools that they need to respond to such threats as well. Are they a threat or not? You're providing all the tools necessary to respond to the threats, but there's no malicious activity. But they don't have a way to know who they are.

And then he insulted your intelligence by saying... You're probably not seeing what you're seeing. Yeah, and we haven't corroborated anything that you said you saw. Right. And they're probably just regular aircraft flying around. Helicopters, Cessnas. But you can corroborate that because they identify themselves.

Yes, there's FAA flight pattern and everything. Honest John, he only has a job for about another six weeks. Right. And he won't be around anymore. We won't have this guy anymore to show.

I hope after January 20th, he takes a long time off and lets his brain rest from nonstop lying for four years. Because that's all that man has done for four years. You know his brain must be severely damaged from lying so much. Doc, how does that man sleep? How does he sleep knowing that he lies to the American people every day? The guy is non-stop lies. Any of those press secretaries are liars. If you're a national press secretary, you're a liar.

Right. Especially for the NSA. Yes. What does Honest John say in the next one? Well, even the White House press pool, which normally just goes along with whatever propaganda is slopped in the trough up there, even they sat there incredulous at the response, the opening statement by Mr. Kirby and one of the correspondents there questioned John Kirby about this. So let's just walk through the first one and then we'll respond to it.

John, on the drones, does the U.S. government have any of its own imagery or video of these systems? I'm not aware that we have U.S. government produced imagery ourselves. But as I said in my opening statement, we have certainly done thorough analysis of the existing imagery. Like from people's cell phones that we're seeing. Basically, with what you're looking at, how can you credibly tell people that there is no public safety threat, there's no national security threat, that there's no reason to believe that a foreign government is involved. Because the analysis thus far in an investigation that is ongoing has not revealed any national security or malicious intent or criminal activity.

But Jackie, I would remind you, we're at the beginning here, not the end. There's a lot more work to be done and we're working closely with state and local authorities to gain more information. I would argue that it's we're moving pretty well here with a sense of energy to try to figure out what we can do to learn more about this. We're at we're still in the middle of an ongoing investigation and I'm up here explaining to you and let you know what we know so far, what we believe so far. If information comes to light that changes that characterization, then my goodness, we'll be the first ones to let you know.

But right now, there's just no indication that this is some sort of foreign malign activity or, in fact, even criminal. You haven't been out there. He hasn't been out there. And he said, I cannot confirm that we have any federally obtained video. Not one person from the federal government recorded anything in over a month. That's what he's saying. He said, we've only analyzed the public videos. That's it?

That's on Twitter. That's what he's saying. Well, maybe they should go over to former governor, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, because he went out last night and he took video of drones. They're in Maryland now? Yeah. They're starting to do, I guess they're franchising now. They're going other places, Rick. So you're telling me no no federal

authority has any video no they've not they haven't thought about it doc well now this prompted the follow-up question from that young lady if you were a mother at a school board meeting you know they have video yes federal video not space. What's the next one? Yeah, so the young lady had a follow-up question because obviously she's flummoxed at this point. Let's watch. What I don't understand is, you know, this has been happening since late November. I don't know that the law enforcement officials or residents in New York and New Jersey or even the Democratic senators who wrote to Director Wray, Mayorkas, and the FAA administrator today would think that this has been handled with a sense of urgency. But, you know, that being said, has the president or the Secretary of Defense issued any guidance

to NORTHCOM or military installations to act on these systems if they're deemed to be threatened anyway? And what's the benchmark for that determination? So two thoughts. First of all, you're right, late November. It is now, what, the 12th of December. So I think it shows that we're moving on with this and we're going to stay on it. So I want to disabuse you of any notion that we're not taking this seriously, because we

are. I can also tell you that if the president as commander in chief believed, based on the information that he'd been given, that there was a national security threat at play here or even a public safety threat at play here, he would issue the appropriate directives to not only law enforcement, but perhaps even the military if that was needed. I want to go back to something I said at the top. There has been no evidence of any of this activity in or near restricted spaces. That's not what the senators said in the letter. They said, in fact, that they've been observed maneuvering their critical infrastructure, sensitive locations, including reservoirs and military installations,

and cited concern from law enforcement about public safety threats because a medevac helicopter was prevented from transporting a seriously injured patient for care because of the presence of these drones. I stand by my opening statement. You stand by your opening statement. He's lying. Just the look of the journalist there. your opening statement. He's lying. Yeah, but just the look of the journalist there.

Yes. I'm being fed a line here. So as we said yesterday, when you see something that your brain knows is really weird, your brain knows it. This is weird. This is unusual,

strange. So you try to come up with an explanation for it. But when the explanation from the authorities is stranger than the event, then you know something really crooked, evil, devious is underway.

They're up to something. I don't know what they're up to. They are up to something. I don't know what they're up to. They are up to something. Mr. Kirby is a Navy Admiral from the NSA. Let's ask Admiral Kirby, if a

Houthi drone was headed towards Israel, would the U.S. Navy shoot it down? That's what they do. They do shoot them down. Yes. Why? It's a drone headed towards the coast.

Well, why do they shoot them down? Have they exhibited any malicious intent? No, they're just flying through the air. Is there evidence? They're just flying through the air. Maybe they just want to just look at Tel Aviv. Why would you shoot it down if you don't know what's

the intent of the drone? And based on that, Rick, how do they know the intent of those drones? They assume, they make an assumption, it's launched by a country and it's headed to another country and therefore it has a malicious intent.

Right. All right. And they're not going to let it be carried out. Right. And so they take it out quickly. And they send a message to the Houthis, don't do that again. Right. Because we're going to blow your drones up.

This is just incredible. But they're up to something. I'm not willing to say yet what it is. I hope it's not the UFO disclosure statement. You know, hey, they're here. They've been here for quite some time. Rick, I'm at the point now where if they came out and said it was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you know, that's just as believable as everything else they've done so far. I mean, really, it is.

Do we need to watch this next curve? No, I think you're just going to kill more brains than you'll ever know. More lying. Well, while we're on the topic of spacemen, Austin American newspaper, Elon Musk, welcome to Starbase, Texas. Yes. There's going to be a new city in Texas called Starbase.

Yes. SpaceX headquarters could soon be its own city. Right. They're going to incorporate a Starbase in the state of Texas. That's right. Far southern Texas along the Mexico border. So the billionaire said in a request to a local official Thursday that he wants to turn Starbase into its own city. And it's not just making Musk the case here.

There have been several others that have gone along with the petition. And it came from the residents in the area as well. Catherine Luters, a general manager associated with Starbase, wrote the official request to Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevio, Jr. The letter said, To continue growing the workforce necessary to rapidly develop and manufacture Starship, we need the ability to grow Starbase as a community, the petition read in part. That is why we're requesting that the Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation

of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley. And we have this on X. This is the proposed location for the new city. Starbase is going to be a city. And this is obviously a project that Elon Musk has been working on for a very, very long time. So California's loss is Texas's gain. That's right. I'm going to go through some headlines fairly quickly here before we wrap it up for this Friday. Reuters. U.S. consumer prices post largest rise

in seven months not surprised um i'll repeat it again i believe that we're in a 15 year inflation stagflation cycle and i've said throughout the past year or so you're going to have peaks and valleys of inflation. Right. Politicians and economists and the news media is going to say, we whipped inflation. It's over. And then it's going to come back. Right.

And then they're going to tell you again, they whipped it. Here it is again. We were just told months ago that inflation was under control. Now, prices post the largest rise in seven months. And the second half of that headline, too, is interesting. It says rent's finally slowing. Now, that sounds like good news, doesn't it? But that's not good news.

It doesn't mean it's just the rate of increases is slowing. It doesn't mean rent's coming down. Right. In fact, you dig into the article and you find out that people aren't paying their rent. And so now landlords are having... Have you looked at the price of rent lately? Oh, it's incredible. I was shocked. I just, every once in a

while, I'll just take a peek at real estate. I could play in real estate all day long if I want, you know. If I could. I love real estate. So once in a while, I'll take a peek and just see what's going on. And I started looking at rental prices in this area. Right.

And I've not looked at rental prices for, you know, years. Yes. I was just stunned. Absolutely stunned. You want to be really stunned? Rent for just a bedroom in a house. You know, just a bedroom and a bath in a house. You know, you're sharing the rest of the house, $1,200 to $1,500 a month.

I know. I saw houses, I don't want to speak, let's just say very small, not anything modern, well-kept home. Okay? Right. And the rent was $4,000. I believe that. I'm like, how are these young families doing this? They can't. It grieves me.

I think, how could they be paying this rent? This is horrible. Right. This is horrible. So anyhow, you see it prices are going up no no big surprise to you um market watch gold could hit three thousand dollars an ounce in 2025 says um let's see who goldman sachs goldman sachs analysts are expecting gold to go over $3,000 an ounce next year. So what we have, inflation is going up.

Prices are going up, food, energy, everything's going up. Gold is going up. Why? Gold goes up when inflation is climbing. When the dollar is declining in what it can purchase and prices are climbing, gold goes up. People start buying gold as a hedge to hold on to what wealth that they have. Yes. Believing that gold will keep up with inflation.

And so later they can at least cash the gold out and get back the money that they had invested years earlier. Because if you just sit on your money right now, you're losing. Your money is declining every single day right now. It's a good reason

to call that number right there. 844-960-GOLD. That's the number to gold co tell them you heard about it on true news 844-960-GOLD ask them for their 2025 gold and silver kit ask them if you qualify for the instant 10 silver match and ask them all the questions you can think about and how to roll over your retirement fund into precious metals the information is free they're not going to charge you anything to answer your questions you have nothing to lose except your money that's sitting in a bank somewhere or in some asset that's declining in value heart precious metals is the place to be in my opinion it's the place to be right now and it will be for years this is a

i've said two years ago when it started this is a 10 to 15 year cycle it reminds me of the mid 70s when stagflation started and it didn't end until the early 90s all through gerald ford and uh jimmy carter and ronald reagan into george herbert walker bush that inflation cycle continued through all those presidencies. And each president got beat up for it. Oh, it was Ford's fault. It was Carter's fault. It was Reagan's fault. No, it's government spending fault. Yes.

That's what causes the inflation. It was Lyndon Johnson's fault for Vietnam War and the war on poverty. And that set off a wave of inflation that lasted for 15 years. Yeah, really, really 30 years. So you go back and you look, what have we been doing? We've been spending trillions of dollars that we don't have since Obama. And then through COVID and all this, trillions and trillions of dollars. What did you think was going to happen?

We have an inflation bomb that's gone off. And as much as I applaud the efforts of the upcoming administration to talk about cutting, you know, excessive spending, you know, the doge and everything, it's going to require a whole new way of thinking. I mean, it really, really is that we're not ready for yet. Doc, the interest payment on America's national debt is eating up most of the budget. Right. What are you going to do? You going to stop all federal spending? Because that's where you're at. That's where we're headed.

So something big has to happen. And that big is a war. Few other stories, but again, Gold Co. Get in touch with Gold Co. Tell them you heard about it on True News. CNBC, egg prices may soon flirt with record highs, says an egg supplier. Have you bought eggs lately? Yes.

It's like buying gold. It is. Gold and eggs. Yeah, I gasp every time I see them. Hard to believe what we're looking at, the price of eggs. A year ago, eggs were $2.14 a dozen. Right now, the average price is $3.65. That's average.

Yeah, that sounds about right. But there's a reason for these egg prices going up, Rick. Yes. And the suppliers say, we're teetering on record highs, meaning this is going up higher. Right. You're going to see prices for eggs that we've never seen before. And when you increase the price of eggs, you increase the price of basically everything. Of everything that's made with eggs.

And that includes bread, anything. Just think about it. Just think of the institutional industry, restaurants, nursing homes, any place that has big kitchens. How many eggs do they use every day? So everything is going to be inflated all right the next one kron san francisco egg shortage in san francisco bay area grocery stores tied to bird flu yes look at

this look at the sign chickens on strike no eggs they're not on strike they're dead yeah this should just say chickens are dead so but they have no eggs to put in the grocery store uh says eggs are a hot commodity and at bay area grocery stores right now you may have noticed empty shelves when you're out doing your shopping. I've got a short video clip from KRON-TV. Let's watch. In developing news, eggs are in short-supplied grocery stores right now. You may have noticed some empty shelves when you've been grocery shopping. Grocer Rob Nesbitt has been talking with farmers and industry experts. He joins us now live from the newsroom with more on what's causing the shortage. I certainly have

noticed this, Rob. Bird flu is wreaking havoc on poultry farms nationwide, and Northern California is no exception. If eggs are still on the shelves at the grocery stores, shoppers will also notice higher prices. Empty shelves are a common sight in the egg section of grocery stores. This sign saying chickens on strike had to be put up Tuesday at a Trader Joe's in San Jose. Shells were restocked at this Safeway in San Francisco Wednesday, but still unnoticed to shoppers, limiting them to two egg products each due to a limited egg supply. Last winter, Sunrise Farms in Petaluma had to euthanize more than 80,000 chickens because

of bird flu, and the owners confirmed to Cron 4 that the flu is back and causing the egg shortage this year. So we're going to see a lot more of it, Doc. Eggs are going to be in short supply, and I'll tell you, with American reserves, we can't keep the egg buckets in stock. I mean, they're just, we're replenishing the inventory as fast as we can. The true news audience is buying eggs, a lot of eggs. You guys are really stocking up on eggs. We're doing pretty good keeping the inventory replenished, but it's getting harder to replenish the eggs, and it's becoming more expensive.

Right. Because the price of eggs are going up and those buckets of eggs are going to cost more. So American Reserves has a 12 Days of Christmas special going on.

Been an amazing week. Thank God we got through this week without a calamity happening because of the attacks on Russia. I was holding my breath. You get up early in the morning, the first thing I look at is what happened during the night.

And thank God we got through it so far. And we've got to get through a few more weeks until Donald Trump's in the White House. But then it looks like they're going to push him into attacking Iran. Solve this war, but start this war. Because we need a war. We've got to have a war. We're in the war cycle, folks. We're in the 80-year-plus war cycle. There's a big, stinking war, 80

plus years. Go back 80 some years, it's World War II. Go back 80 years before World War II, it's Civil War. Go back before Civil War, 80 years, it's Revolutionary War. Go back another 80 years, it's a big Indian War in the colonies. Every 80 some

years, there is a big war. We're in that war cycle. There's going to be a really big war between now and the early 2030s. And it can be any day. That's a window. Now to the early, mid-2030s. Maybe 2032, 33, 34, but it could be 2026, 28. We're in that window.

And you can feel it. You can feel it. All these guys are talking about war and war and war. They're saturated with it, Doc. They've got to have a war. So, for us, we need to take... We need to be like the sons of Iscar, that discerned the times and knew what Israel

should do. We're discerning the times, and we know what Israel should do. Israel meaning the church, the body of Christ. We need to prepare. The Swiss are refurbishing their World War II bunkers. The Russians are building mobile nuclear bunkers.

What do they know? What are we doing here in America? What are we doing? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The only people who are doing something are the ones like you who are getting food and water filtration systems and getting things in place, taking advantage of the time.

We see it coming. Your neighbor doesn't see it. Your brother-in-law doesn't see it. But keep praying for them. Maybe you can wake them up. Got to go. Love you so much.
