The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.
00:00:24.340
You know, we didn't know who was going to be on the program.
00:00:27.920
And they just kind of, I was going to say came back from the dead,
00:00:33.660
Yeah, that's probably not the best thing to make.
00:00:41.640
I don't want to appropriate the actual resurrection.
00:00:53.040
Bud Light Blake, Boeing Blake, the Blake Chevicks.
00:01:01.840
No, it's Monday Thursday because it feels like a Monday.
00:01:18.480
And I want Jack actually to introduce this topic.
00:01:21.500
I usually have Blake do it because, Jack, you have been posting this.
00:01:24.420
And I think I posted it, too, a lot because I believe it fundamentally.
00:01:41.820
It is one of the more interconnected topics we've ever covered on thought crime.
00:01:52.320
Why is that statement all of a sudden popping off on the internet?
00:01:59.060
Well, so Christ is King is a statement that it's popping off right now
00:02:05.720
because there's been a controversy attached to it regarding our,
00:02:10.360
I think all of our mutual friend, Candace Owens,
00:02:16.620
And we were not told that this was what predicated her leaving.
00:02:25.780
some of her former colleagues have come forward
00:02:31.320
and forwarded this as the reason for her leaving,
00:02:36.400
but then also equating that with charges of anti-Semitism.
00:02:44.700
because of this argument that you'll hear people make saying that,
00:02:51.560
you know, aren't we called to catechize the world?
00:02:54.500
Aren't we called to go forward and spread the good news?
00:02:59.240
that is the last thing we are told at the very end of the Mass,
00:03:07.380
And I, you know, I've always kind of viewed that as a mission statement.
00:03:10.900
You know, you're supposed to go forth and go and do that.
00:03:13.420
But there are other people who will say that it is intolerant or anti-Semitic
00:03:19.260
because, of course, the Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah.
00:03:27.640
this obviously is going to come into some tension.
00:03:37.920
you can talk to them about it if they seem open to it.
00:03:40.260
You know, all the different ways that you can try to have these conversations,
00:03:43.660
live your life in a certain way where people might want to emulate that.
00:03:47.720
And you say, well, it's because I have a Christ-centered life.
00:03:49.640
And then you can use that to sort of open it up.
00:03:51.720
But other people will say that it's actually anti-Semitic
00:03:56.880
not only are you not accepting of Jews as the way they are,
00:04:00.400
but instead you're asserting some kind of sovereignty over Judaism.
00:04:08.020
who was on Alex Jones and a few other shows recently,
00:04:12.480
They'll take it all the way back to the Pharisees.
00:04:14.920
They'll take it back to the execution of Jesus,
00:04:17.480
which, of course, tomorrow is Good Friday is the commemoration of,
00:04:20.800
all the way back when this very question came up.
00:04:27.660
that when you look at a depiction of the crucifixion
00:04:36.040
that stands for Jesus the Nazarene, king of the Jews, I-N-R-I.
00:04:52.380
it actually says that it was written in Latin and Greek in the original.
00:04:57.140
And the account is that they say Jesus, king of the Jews,
00:05:03.440
I believe the chief priests come to Pilate and they say,
00:05:10.840
And he says, what I have written, I have written,
00:05:21.080
because there's an interesting biblical bookend there
00:05:23.580
because the other time that Jesus is specifically referred to as king
00:05:34.800
If you notice this, it's not Jews that called Jesus king
00:05:44.260
So it's the Magi in the Nativity who refer to Jesus as king of the Jews.
00:05:49.980
And then it's the Romans all the way at Jesus's death
00:05:53.960
that creating this sort of bookend of him being quote unquote declared king.
00:06:08.560
because Revelation is in the Catholic Bible, obviously,
00:06:11.240
but is Revelation when it's, you know, Jesus is on his throne
00:06:14.660
and his name is written king of kings, lord and lords.
00:06:22.540
It's also repeated in 2 John and also in Isaiah,
00:06:25.480
which is the most specific prophetic book in the Old Testament
00:06:30.400
to be called Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father, Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor.
00:06:35.860
So I now want to play a piece of tape here, which,
00:06:41.180
accusations of anti-Semitism, which are not true, by the way.
00:06:44.860
She traveled around the world literally to be with me
00:06:57.940
And people who use that are intellectually sloppy and lazy.
00:07:01.200
Happy to dialogue and discourse with people on that.
00:07:11.340
I don't know if she originally started doing it.
00:07:18.400
who I really intellectually respect and support
00:07:22.340
he comes out and focuses on this particular thing
00:07:39.300
Just from a, there's other things that Candace has said
00:07:47.520
for the reason that we're going to dismiss her.
00:08:04.720
except this Christ the King anti-Semitic crowd.
00:08:11.060
and one day every knee will bow and recognize it
00:08:19.000
that God has abandoned his chosen people, the Jews,
00:08:22.900
through whom he came into this world incarnate,
00:08:30.380
you are quoting scripture like Satan does in the Bible.
00:08:52.540
I can't even get in the same galaxy of believing
00:09:07.140
I guess that could be like mildly uncomfortable.
00:09:28.820
where I think they will just spam it in Twitter replies.
00:09:32.540
So Ben Shapiro tweets something they don't like,
00:09:41.240
like they're shouting a magic spell at them or something.
00:09:45.200
And in context, I can see people perceiving that as hostile.
00:10:02.900
which is like the greatest horror of the 20th century,
00:10:04.980
which is the Holocaust, like as evil as you get,
00:10:08.920
a three-word truth statement that all of us believe
00:10:12.540
to say that, to say Christ is King is anti-Semitic.
00:10:28.840
There's actually an entire, and I was trying to find this.
00:10:38.200
typically like really hardcore evangelical crowds
00:11:16.600
and a very common phrase that's used in my religion,
00:11:25.960
by saying that because it has all this different meaning
00:11:36.420
My point is there's a lot of different phrases like this
00:11:41.880
to heart and it seems like it happens very frequently.
00:11:45.580
I suppose the, let's pretend the inverse is, right?
00:11:51.300
that says Allah is God and Muhammad is the great prophet,
00:12:05.540
who will argue and they'll say the difference here
00:12:20.580
So what Christians did from the Jewish perspective
00:12:33.140
and here's our new books that we're also adding to it
00:12:41.980
It was Jewish followers and devout Sabbath keepers
00:12:45.080
And a very valid take is you could say, actually, even,
00:12:48.780
and many Christians have argued this historically,
00:13:24.480
stopping anti-Semitism starts with understanding it.
00:13:42.740
When you try to like micro-police people statements
00:14:05.880
Illuminati's always bound up with like the Rothschilds
00:14:12.320
They were like a secular German banking family.
00:14:26.900
like chatting circles that it seems like such a reach.
00:14:44.760
Wait, they have an entire chapter that globalism,
00:14:59.360
And I want to give the Daily Wire a little bit of,
00:15:32.700
is a sophisticated and manipulative dialectical trap,
00:16:37.160
is this whole concept of Christ being king, right?
