=== Unbelievable Times (04:40) ===

[00:00:00]  We are in the last days.
[00:00:03]  And it's unbelievable times.
[00:00:06]  I mean, the headlines today, you know, besides the earthquakes, we just had 69 major earthquakes hit the Pacific Ring of Fire in 48 hours.
[00:00:16]  Wow.
[00:00:17]  What does Matthew 24 say?
[00:00:20]  One of the signs of the return of Christ will be earthquakes in diverse places.
[00:00:27]  But we go on.
[00:00:28]  California Christians prepare for civil disobedience.
[00:00:33]  The law is posed to pass that directly attacks your religious freedom.
[00:00:39]  If the bill passes, you must choose to obey God rather than man.
[00:00:45]  You literally have to obey man, and you will have to fight to obey the Bible.
[00:00:53]  That's a new law ready to be passed in California.
[00:01:00]  Satanic Temple rally at state capitol targets Arkansas lawmakers.
[00:01:07]  One after another, the headlines today are just unbelievable.
[00:01:14]  Russia's strategic bombers deployed near Alaska.
[00:01:19]  Do you know that?
[00:01:20]  Yes.
[00:01:21]  When I was an operations officer in Alaska, they were often along the Aleutians, and this is where those were flying.
[00:01:28]  They've also been off the coast of California, and according to the Chief of Naval Operations, we've had a major increase in Russian activity in the Atlantic as well as Chinese.
[00:01:39]  Why are they doing this, do you think?
[00:01:41]  Well, it's about pushing against our envelope.
[00:01:44]  It's about showing presence.
[00:01:46]  It's about a statement to this country.
[00:01:48]  Russia is back.
[00:01:49]  Vladimir Putin has every intention of resurrecting the old powers that he had with the Soviet Union.
[00:01:56]  And of course, he's aligned very closely with China.
[00:01:58]  And so we're finding a very significant change in the world climate today.
[00:02:03]  The Pentagon headline today says, Chinese bombers likely training for U.S. strikes.
[00:02:12]  Signed Pentagon.
[00:02:14]  Right.
[00:02:14]  You're aware of that?
[00:02:15]  Oh, yes.
[00:02:16]  It's a new report just out of, you know, published this past week.
[00:02:20]  You got the whole thing.
[00:02:22]  The whole report.
[00:02:23]  And it addresses a host of things that the Chinese have been doing.
[00:02:26]  I've been tracking this report that comes out annually for the last 25 years.
[00:02:31]  The Chinese are building up a major capability.
[00:02:34]  Even the Central Intelligence Agency leadership acknowledges this is a serious change.
[00:02:40]  In the last couple of years, we've seen a ramp up of not only spending, but on aggressiveness around the world.
[00:02:47]  They've established a new facility in Africa.
[00:02:50]  They're establishing places all over the world.
[00:02:52]  So their military and capability and presence and posture around the world is significantly growing.
[00:02:59]  And it's because they're pushing back.
[00:03:01]  President Qi wants to put himself into the driver's seat.
[00:03:05]  He wants to remove the United States in terms of military prowess and economic prowess and replace it with China.
[00:03:12]  And they're going to drag Russia along with them.
[00:03:15]  Wow.
[00:03:16]  China's spy ship monitored Monterey.
[00:03:19]  U.S. missile defense tests.
[00:03:22]  Yes.
[00:03:22]  That's another headline, I'm telling you.
[00:03:24]  Well, that was all, you know, we've deployed FAAD, which is a missile defense system to South Korea.
[00:03:31]  They've been concerned, or the Chinese, about that.
[00:03:34]  So on the island of Kodiak in southern Alaska, we tested one.
[00:03:41]  It was about a year ago.
[00:03:42]  We just acknowledged it.
[00:03:43]  And we shot it down, a dummy, and the Chinese had a ship out there.
[00:03:48]  Now, what's important about this is that, you know, up until the last couple of years, Chinese intelligence operatives and Chinese ships were not tracking everything we're doing.
[00:03:58]  We're finding them all over the globe today, which is a significant change here in the last few years.
[00:04:04]  Another headline today.
[00:04:05]  I'm throwing all the headlines up top here because it's overwhelming.
[00:04:10]  Iranian-backed sleeper cell militants hibernating in U.S. positioned for attack.
[00:04:19]  Are you aware of that?
[00:04:20]  Well, I'm aware of general aspects of that.
[00:04:24]  Hezbollah, of course, is a proxy of them.
[00:04:27]  They've been operating through Venezuela, through Latin America, into the U.S. We've acknowledged that some of their operatives have come into this country.
[00:04:36]  So, yeah, sleeper cells.
[00:04:37]  That's how you operate as an intelligence organization.
