Biography

Richard Wiles is a streaming pioneer who advised TBN on internet audio in 1995 and launched a daily internet news program in 1999, years before modern podcasting. His show, TruNews, became known for reporting on emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and synthetic biology long before mainstream adoption. Wiles attended the World Economic Forum as a guest of the Trump White House and visited Jordan at King Abdullah II’s invitation to view baptismal site developments. A 2024 Republican congressional candidate, he campaigned against U.S. involvement in foreign wars. After facing censorship in 2020, his YouTube channel was eventually restored. Wiles retired in 2025 after 26 years to focus on biblical teaching and new projects, Manna Nation and Ark Bible Land, with plans to launch a new podcast in 2026. His newest book is Mega-Fire: America's Next Fourth Turning Crisis.
