How COVID mandates, lockdowns go contrary to Christ the King


Summary

The Feast of Christ the King was established in 1925 by Pope Pius XI to commemorate Christ's kingship over the hearts of all Christians and indeed over all men. But over the last 60 years, the idea that Christ should be treated as king over society and the civil laws, and that all civil laws should conform to his laws, has been progressively forgotten. In fact, in a sense, this collective kind of amnesia has led to a change in the meaning of the feast.

00:00:00.000 Of all the feast days in the Church, very few speak to the time we are living in like the Feast of Christ the King,
00:00:06.980 which many of us celebrated this past Sunday.
00:00:09.980 This feast was established in 1925 by Pope Pius XI.
00:00:14.840 However, it is so pertinent to our times.
00:00:18.220 But you'd only know that if you actually checked out the original intent of the feast
00:00:23.520 and not the distorted version which is in vogue today.
00:00:26.680 This is the John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:01:06.680 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:09.400 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:15.220 So, Pius XI established this feast with his encyclical Quas Primus
00:01:21.260 to commemorate Christ's kingship over the hearts of all Christians and indeed over all men.
00:01:26.720 But here's the key.
00:01:28.220 It was also over every state, nation, and society, or every organization of people.
00:01:33.360 But over the last 60 years or so, this, what people call the social kingship of Christ,
00:01:40.900 the idea that Christ should be treated as king over society and the civil laws,
00:01:46.480 and that all the civil laws, in fact, should conform to his laws,
00:01:50.360 this idea has been progressively forgotten.
00:01:53.720 In fact, in a sense, this collective kind of amnesia has led to a change in the meaning of the feast.
00:02:01.560 But before we look at that, the new feast,
00:02:04.600 let's see what Pope Pius wanted us to learn about Christ the king in the first place.
00:02:09.180 So, Christ is king because he's God,
00:02:13.160 but also because he has bought us with his own blood.
00:02:17.040 And it's in both of these senses that he's our king.
00:02:20.620 He's our king over each person, each family, each gathering of people.
00:02:25.480 He is therefore also king over our nations.
00:02:29.720 Now, we all know that Christ must be king of our hearts,
00:02:33.460 but if we all must recognize him as king as individuals,
00:02:39.120 how could we not still have that duty when we are gathered as a nation,
00:02:43.300 or in fact, as any other type of organization?
00:02:47.700 So, what does this mean in practice?
00:02:50.940 Well, it could mean a lot of things,
00:02:53.060 but at the bare minimum, it means that Christ's kingly dignity demands
00:02:58.800 that the state should take account of the commandments of God
00:03:02.620 and of Christian principles, both in making laws,
00:03:05.300 and administering justice, and also in education.
00:03:09.520 And those are, by the way, that's a quote from the encyclical.
00:03:11.820 The state is sovereign, of course, in its own proper sphere,
00:03:16.460 but it's obliged to operate within the bounds of Christ's own kingship.
00:03:22.720 So, Christ himself told us when he spoke to Pilate that he was a king,
00:03:27.440 and this teaching goes back to the very beginning of the Church.
00:03:32.160 But nothing could be more important for today,
00:03:35.200 for a world rebelling against Christ,
00:03:38.180 than to recognize his royal dignity and power.
00:03:41.440 When Pope Leo XIII was facing similar problems decades before,
00:03:47.100 he wrote in his encyclical Temezi, and I quote,
00:03:51.100 The world has heard enough of the so-called rights of man.
00:03:56.380 Let it hear something of the rights of God, end quote.
00:04:00.740 The silence about the rights of God represented a betrayal of Christ the King.
00:04:06.420 Pius XI created this feast, and I quote,
00:04:10.800 To minister to the need of the present day,
00:04:14.000 and at the same time provide an excellent remedy for the plague,
00:04:19.600 which now infects society.
00:04:22.140 The plague he spoke of was the phenomenon in which men had thrust,
00:04:27.420 and I quote again,
00:04:28.700 thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their lives, end quote.
00:04:33.000 And worse than this,
00:04:35.480 there was always the temptation for Christians to go along,
00:04:40.000 to get along,
00:04:40.700 to accommodate themselves to the hostile powers and pluralistic societies.
00:04:45.680 The answer, the Pope decided,
00:04:48.560 was not just an encyclical or pronouncement from the true doctrine.
00:04:54.080 He said, in fact,
00:04:55.380 that such pronouncements usually reach only a few,
00:04:59.040 and the more learned among the faithful.
00:05:01.820 But feasts reach them, he said.
00:05:05.240 Feasts reach them all.
00:05:08.120 Pronouncements speak once,
00:05:09.580 and then they may be forgotten,
00:05:11.020 but feasts speak every year,
00:05:12.900 in fact, forever.
00:05:15.040 And the Pope went on to explain,
00:05:17.040 For people are instructed in the truths of our faith,
00:05:19.900 and brought to appreciate the inner joys of religion,
00:05:22.600 and far more effectively by the annual celebration of our sacred mysteries, end quote.
00:05:27.960 So, what he says speaks beautifully to the importance of the Mass,
00:05:33.080 and the Church's liturgical life.
00:05:34.640 In fact, he said,
00:05:35.200 The Church's teaching affects the mind primarily.
00:05:39.920 Her feasts affect both mind and heart,
00:05:42.780 and have a salutary effect upon the whole of man's nature.
00:05:47.400 Man is composed of body and soul,
00:05:48.960 and he needs these external festivities,
00:05:52.660 so that the sacred rites,
00:05:54.340 in all of their beauty and variety,
00:05:56.160 may stimulate him to drink more deeply of the fountain of God's teaching,
00:06:00.380 that he may make it a part of himself,
00:06:03.680 and use it with profit for his spiritual life, end quote.
00:06:07.660 So, in some sense,
00:06:09.820 it seemed that Pius XI's plan worked,
00:06:12.560 as the various revolutionary governments seemed to falter,
00:06:15.720 or at least were limited behind the Iron Curtain.
00:06:18.880 But over the last six decades,
00:06:21.040 the doctrine behind this feast has been neglected.
00:06:24.380 It's forgotten.
00:06:25.120 It's distorted.
00:06:26.160 As Pius XI actually predicted what happened,
00:06:29.300 the Church has slowly lost her immunity,
00:06:31.760 and taken a place among kind of false religions,
00:06:35.440 and we have arrived at our current situation.
00:06:38.080 The Church's mission, life, and rights
00:06:41.440 are all subject to the civil state.
00:06:44.340 In fact,
00:06:45.600 they're only tolerated
00:06:46.860 at the whim of our national rulers,
00:06:50.740 or our international rulers today.
00:06:53.160 The liberty of the Church
00:06:54.960 is essential,
00:06:56.980 and the Church's freedom
00:06:58.300 is at the heart of the kingship of Christ.
00:07:01.900 You know, in the same encyclical,
00:07:04.480 in Quas Primas,
00:07:05.420 he teaches us that,
00:07:06.520 and I quote,
00:07:07.480 and this is probably the most important quote,
00:07:09.740 the Church,
00:07:11.240 founded by Christ
00:07:12.280 as a perfect society,
00:07:14.440 has a natural
00:07:15.580 and inalienable right
00:07:17.600 to perfect freedom
00:07:19.440 and immunity
00:07:20.440 from the power of the state.
00:07:22.480 The Church
00:07:22.960 cannot be subject
00:07:24.620 to any external power
00:07:26.940 in the exercise of her mission.
00:07:28.740 But,
00:07:29.560 as these ideas
00:07:30.820 have been neglected
00:07:31.780 and hushed up,
00:07:33.200 the state has been
00:07:34.280 more and more able
00:07:35.560 to subject the Church
00:07:36.600 to the state.
00:07:38.200 In fact,
00:07:39.080 let's cast our minds back
00:07:40.700 to the lockdowns of 2020,
00:07:42.380 and even continuing
00:07:43.420 into 2021
00:07:44.340 in some places.
00:07:46.500 How many men
00:07:47.660 purporting to be
00:07:49.240 our shepherds
00:07:50.140 in the faith
00:07:50.620 spoke against
00:07:51.700 the enormous
00:07:52.860 state overreach
00:07:53.920 in shutting our churches
00:07:55.440 and forbidding
00:07:56.500 the sacraments?
00:07:57.200 You know,
00:07:58.660 it might be legitimate
00:08:00.140 for the Church
00:08:01.300 to do these things
00:08:02.080 to herself,
00:08:02.800 but it is contrary
00:08:03.880 to Catholic teaching
00:08:04.680 to think that the state
00:08:06.220 can do this,
00:08:07.260 or even to stay silent
00:08:09.420 in the face
00:08:10.580 of the state
00:08:11.480 doing such things.
00:08:12.900 The state now thinks
00:08:14.220 that it can shut down
00:08:15.320 the mass,
00:08:16.260 inject us with
00:08:17.020 goodness owes what,
00:08:18.340 and have us
00:08:19.480 beg the officials
00:08:20.900 of the state
00:08:21.560 for religious exemptions.
00:08:23.400 This is absurd.
00:08:25.220 This is craziness.
00:08:27.200 Each compromise
00:08:28.940 leads to the next.
00:08:30.980 And would our backs
00:08:32.320 be so against the wall
00:08:34.020 with the vaccine mandates
00:08:35.800 if our shepherds
00:08:37.580 had stood firm
00:08:38.800 against the lockdowns?
00:08:40.200 I think the answer
00:08:41.160 is obvious.
00:08:42.440 It's all the more shameful
00:08:43.940 when we look at
00:08:44.800 the heroic examples
00:08:45.760 of history.
00:08:46.800 There have been
00:08:47.420 many brave men
00:08:48.740 who have stood
00:08:49.740 and bled
00:08:50.680 for the rights
00:08:51.340 of Christ their King
00:08:52.480 and His Holy Church.
00:08:54.380 St. Thomas Becket,
00:08:55.360 for instance,
00:08:55.840 was martyred
00:08:56.580 for maintaining
00:08:57.320 the liberty
00:08:57.960 of the Church
00:08:58.700 against the King.
00:09:00.320 St. Thomas More
00:09:01.240 and St. John Fisher
00:09:02.380 were martyred
00:09:03.040 for refusing
00:09:03.840 to acknowledge
00:09:04.820 Henry VIII
00:09:05.720 as the head
00:09:06.580 of the Church.
00:09:08.040 In fact,
00:09:09.080 we have even seen
00:09:10.060 children give us
00:09:11.400 this example.
00:09:12.960 When Pius XI
00:09:13.980 released his encyclical,
00:09:15.720 the world had just emerged
00:09:17.260 from a terrible,
00:09:18.500 terrible war,
00:09:19.320 and various
00:09:19.820 revolutionary governments
00:09:20.940 were rising up
00:09:21.880 and persecuting the Church.
00:09:22.840 Consider, for example,
00:09:25.180 the famous little
00:09:26.380 Yoselito,
00:09:27.900 the 14-year-old Mexican
00:09:29.680 José Sánchez del Rio.
00:09:32.320 The communist,
00:09:33.560 Masonic,
00:09:34.540 Mexican government
00:09:35.420 led to the persecution
00:09:36.500 of the Church
00:09:38.400 and the Cristero War,
00:09:40.180 and Yoselito's brothers
00:09:42.420 joined up to fight
00:09:43.720 for the Church
00:09:44.380 and their nation,
00:09:45.320 but José was not allowed to,
00:09:47.360 neither by his mother
00:09:48.340 nor by the Cristeros.
00:09:49.780 But in spite of all this,
00:09:51.560 he eventually found
00:09:52.340 his way in,
00:09:53.120 and after many brave deeds,
00:09:54.840 he was captured
00:09:55.500 by the communist forces.
00:09:57.620 These wicked men,
00:09:59.660 already responsible
00:10:00.540 for so many murders
00:10:01.660 and crimes,
00:10:02.800 ordered him to renounce
00:10:04.000 Christ the King
00:10:04.880 or die.
00:10:06.760 They tried many means
00:10:08.240 to break his resolve,
00:10:09.600 but he knew
00:10:10.360 that Christ was
00:10:11.260 King of Mexico
00:10:12.160 and he would not
00:10:13.460 betray him.
00:10:14.660 In the end,
00:10:15.760 the communists
00:10:16.380 cut the soles
00:10:17.500 of his feet off
00:10:18.480 and made him walk
00:10:20.400 through the town
00:10:21.360 to his grave.
00:10:23.260 And all along the way,
00:10:25.680 they offered him
00:10:26.820 the chance
00:10:27.640 to save himself
00:10:28.820 by renouncing Christ,
00:10:30.420 but in response,
00:10:31.880 this brave little boy
00:10:33.260 would only shout,
00:10:35.320 I will never give in!
00:10:36.900 Long live Christ the King!
00:10:39.160 Or in his own native tongue,
00:10:41.220 Viva Cristo Rei!
00:10:42.440 And that same cry,
00:10:45.280 Viva Cristo Rei,
00:10:46.880 was his final cry
00:10:48.500 when they shot him
00:10:49.660 and many other
00:10:51.140 Mexican martyrs as well,
00:10:53.060 just like
00:10:53.680 Father Miguel Pro,
00:10:55.740 who,
00:10:56.820 actually,
00:10:57.380 whose feast
00:10:57.780 we celebrate today,
00:10:59.960 died with the profession
00:11:02.020 of Christ the King
00:11:03.220 and Christ's kingship
00:11:04.820 on their lips.
00:11:06.360 You know,
00:11:08.900 this is all
00:11:09.440 recent history,
00:11:10.520 and these heroic deeds
00:11:11.760 are the deeds
00:11:12.560 of men,
00:11:13.220 women,
00:11:13.500 and children,
00:11:14.300 flesh and blood,
00:11:15.020 just like us.
00:11:16.460 God gave them grace,
00:11:18.320 and he's giving us
00:11:19.440 that grace too.
00:11:21.980 It is the duty
00:11:23.060 of bishops,
00:11:23.660 especially to defend
00:11:24.860 the immunity
00:11:25.360 and liberty of the Church,
00:11:26.660 and if they desert
00:11:27.640 their posts,
00:11:28.540 the state
00:11:29.100 will pick up
00:11:30.060 the reins.
00:11:30.640 If we do not
00:11:32.960 also profess
00:11:34.260 Christ as King
00:11:35.260 over our society,
00:11:36.920 we should not be shocked
00:11:38.220 when the state
00:11:39.020 oversteps the mark.
00:11:40.500 But as we said,
00:11:42.040 the doctrine
00:11:42.760 and the feast
00:11:44.560 have been
00:11:45.380 sort of neglected
00:11:46.340 over the years,
00:11:46.880 and their meanings
00:11:47.440 seem to have changed
00:11:48.700 for many people.
00:11:49.940 The original readings
00:11:51.300 and prayers
00:11:51.840 of the Mass
00:11:52.440 of Christ the King
00:11:53.140 all speak about
00:11:54.680 the present
00:11:56.020 and absolute
00:11:56.900 sovereignty of Christ.
00:11:58.700 But the new ones
00:11:59.980 well,
00:12:01.280 they speak about
00:12:02.940 the end of time.
00:12:04.340 The new readings
00:12:05.120 place the importance
00:12:06.180 on Christ's reign
00:12:07.220 over our hearts,
00:12:08.360 while the old ones
00:12:09.660 teach us
00:12:10.220 that his rule
00:12:11.500 extends over
00:12:12.260 civil society as well.
00:12:14.420 And what's more,
00:12:15.860 the feast itself
00:12:16.700 was moved
00:12:17.400 from the last Sunday
00:12:18.820 of October
00:12:19.280 to the last Sunday
00:12:20.460 of the liturgical year,
00:12:22.060 a Sunday traditionally
00:12:23.220 associated with
00:12:24.100 the end of the world.
00:12:25.900 We are clearly
00:12:26.940 supposed to see
00:12:28.020 his kingship
00:12:29.080 in an eschatological
00:12:30.720 kind of a sense
00:12:31.620 as coming
00:12:32.320 at the end of time,
00:12:33.220 but we can
00:12:34.040 actually see
00:12:35.540 the full
00:12:36.160 uncensored meaning
00:12:37.520 of the feast
00:12:38.140 in the old hymn
00:12:40.100 of the divine office
00:12:41.440 for the feast.
00:12:43.320 Listen to these
00:12:44.060 two verses
00:12:44.500 from that hymn.
00:12:45.100 May the rulers
00:12:47.120 of the world
00:12:47.860 publicly honor
00:12:48.960 and extol thee.
00:12:50.420 May teachers
00:12:51.200 and judges
00:12:51.820 reverence thee.
00:12:53.160 May the laws
00:12:53.960 express thine order
00:12:55.280 and the arts
00:12:56.340 reflect thy beauty.
00:12:58.420 May kings
00:12:59.320 find renown
00:13:00.320 in their submission
00:13:01.300 and dedication
00:13:02.440 to thee.
00:13:03.900 Bring under
00:13:04.620 thy gentle rule
00:13:06.060 our country
00:13:06.740 and our homes.
00:13:08.860 These two verses
00:13:10.120 have been removed
00:13:11.740 from the hymn,
00:13:12.580 and they haven't
00:13:13.660 been replaced
00:13:14.200 with something
00:13:14.720 similar either.
00:13:16.480 The implication
00:13:17.440 is clear.
00:13:18.600 We're abandoning
00:13:19.720 Christ's rights
00:13:20.660 over civil society.
00:13:22.380 Christ is made
00:13:23.360 into a kind
00:13:24.280 of figurehead king
00:13:25.340 and the state
00:13:26.720 is allowed
00:13:27.440 to take his place
00:13:28.520 as the true
00:13:29.320 sovereign power.
00:13:31.120 We know
00:13:31.760 that Christ
00:13:32.200 will return
00:13:32.780 and put all
00:13:33.960 his enemies
00:13:34.620 under his feet
00:13:35.300 and make all
00:13:36.220 things new.
00:13:37.580 Indeed then,
00:13:38.220 his rule
00:13:38.720 will be consummated
00:13:39.860 and every knee
00:13:40.980 shall bend
00:13:41.580 to him,
00:13:42.200 our glorious king.
00:13:43.740 But this is not
00:13:46.100 when he will
00:13:47.100 become king.
00:13:48.080 He is king already.
00:13:49.680 Now,
00:13:50.640 Christ does not
00:13:51.180 want to dethrone
00:13:52.700 the kings
00:13:53.320 and rulers
00:13:53.880 of the world,
00:13:54.600 but rather
00:13:55.240 for them
00:13:56.460 to recognize
00:13:57.220 his authority
00:13:58.020 and rule
00:13:58.960 in accordance
00:13:59.600 with his holy law.
00:14:01.800 But the betrayal
00:14:03.120 and consistent failure
00:14:04.780 to profess
00:14:05.360 Christ's kingship
00:14:06.380 over our society
00:14:07.360 has led us
00:14:08.180 to a place
00:14:08.700 where the state
00:14:10.280 can do
00:14:10.980 whatever it wants
00:14:11.780 to us
00:14:12.200 and with all
00:14:13.660 the cooperation
00:14:14.420 of our supposed
00:14:15.240 shepherds.
00:14:16.780 Some of us
00:14:17.840 will have marked
00:14:19.260 this feast
00:14:20.040 this weekend
00:14:20.840 and others
00:14:21.620 the last Sunday
00:14:22.980 of October,
00:14:23.820 but whenever we did so,
00:14:25.440 we cannot accept
00:14:26.540 an uncrowning
00:14:27.800 of our king.
00:14:29.460 And what's more,
00:14:30.760 Christ will not
00:14:31.440 accept it either.
00:14:32.340 From the encyclical
00:14:33.400 of Pius XII,
00:14:34.280 we read,
00:14:35.260 not only private
00:14:36.260 individuals
00:14:37.000 are bound
00:14:37.760 to give public
00:14:38.600 honor and obedience
00:14:39.420 to Christ,
00:14:40.660 but also rulers
00:14:42.200 and princes.
00:14:43.500 And this Pope
00:14:44.560 had hard words
00:14:46.560 for those
00:14:47.060 who seek
00:14:47.500 to remove Christ
00:14:48.240 from the life
00:14:49.420 of a nation.
00:14:50.480 He said,
00:14:50.940 and I quote,
00:14:52.100 Christ,
00:14:52.620 who has been
00:14:53.200 cast out
00:14:53.960 of public life,
00:14:54.780 despised,
00:14:55.440 neglected,
00:14:55.920 and ignored,
00:14:56.600 will most severely
00:14:58.660 avenge
00:14:59.820 these insults.
00:15:01.660 End quote.
00:15:02.680 In a parable
00:15:03.180 of the Gospels,
00:15:04.100 Jesus tells us
00:15:04.880 of certain wicked
00:15:05.780 citizens who
00:15:07.180 said to each
00:15:07.660 other,
00:15:07.940 we will not
00:15:08.400 have this man
00:15:09.280 to reign over us.
00:15:11.000 Well,
00:15:11.520 when that king
00:15:12.440 returned,
00:15:13.440 they were all
00:15:14.280 put to death.
00:15:16.020 God is certainly
00:15:17.080 far above us,
00:15:18.500 but that does not
00:15:19.560 mean that we do
00:15:20.320 not need to be
00:15:21.040 concerned with
00:15:21.880 honoring and
00:15:22.740 protecting his
00:15:23.640 rights and praying
00:15:25.040 for those who are,
00:15:26.160 at least for now,
00:15:27.480 making themselves
00:15:28.580 his enemies.
00:15:30.680 For LifeSite News,
00:15:31.780 this is John Henry
00:15:32.400 Weston.
00:15:33.500 May God bless you.
00:15:35.780 We have been
00:15:36.980 warning everyone
00:15:37.940 who would listen
00:15:38.660 and attempting
00:15:39.500 to build up
00:15:40.400 alternative platforms
00:15:41.640 to continue
00:15:42.680 to reach you.
00:15:44.280 We have established
00:15:45.260 ourselves on all
00:15:46.240 sorts of platforms
00:15:47.100 I'm going to
00:15:47.600 explain in a minute,
00:15:48.620 but the most
00:15:49.200 important thing
00:15:49.820 to do is come
00:15:50.440 direct to
00:15:51.080 LifeSiteNews.com
00:15:53.020 because there
00:15:54.140 we will always be.
00:15:55.820 But we've also
00:15:56.480 established ourselves
00:15:57.480 on platforms
00:15:58.480 like Parler
00:15:59.160 and MeWe
00:16:00.120 and our videos
00:16:01.080 can be found
00:16:01.740 on Rumble as well.
00:16:03.400 We would love
00:16:04.500 to see each
00:16:05.260 of you
00:16:05.520 on those
00:16:05.900 platforms too
00:16:06.680 as they are
00:16:07.460 not censoring
00:16:08.300 or suppressing
00:16:09.120 the truth
00:16:09.580 that we are
00:16:10.060 sharing every
00:16:11.000 single day.
00:16:12.360 More than
00:16:13.200 these alternative
00:16:14.080 social media
00:16:14.640 platforms,
00:16:15.420 we highly
00:16:16.080 encourage you
00:16:16.740 to subscribe
00:16:17.460 to our email
00:16:18.320 newsletter.
00:16:19.220 We have really
00:16:20.620 built up a large
00:16:21.620 list of loyal
00:16:22.360 readers on our
00:16:23.060 email marketing
00:16:23.760 platform and we
00:16:25.260 have prepared
00:16:25.780 several backup
00:16:26.740 plans for,
00:16:28.340 well, I want to
00:16:29.500 say if, but it's
00:16:30.280 really when,
00:16:31.340 we are removed
00:16:32.400 from our current
00:16:33.140 platform as well.
00:16:34.880 Additionally, I
00:16:36.120 really encourage
00:16:36.820 you, as I said
00:16:37.640 before, to make
00:16:38.600 it a regular
00:16:39.320 habit to go
00:16:40.260 directly to
00:16:40.920 LifeSiteNews.com.
00:16:42.340 Make it your
00:16:43.520 homepage.
00:16:44.340 While all of
00:16:45.580 these different
00:16:46.040 platforms are an
00:16:47.280 excellent way to
00:16:48.260 curate your news,
00:16:49.520 going directly to
00:16:50.580 our website means
00:16:51.560 that you will never
00:16:52.500 encounter any
00:16:53.400 censorship or
00:16:54.540 sudden loss of
00:16:55.520 LifeSite News
00:16:56.080 reporting.
00:16:56.940 Here's the thing.
00:16:58.380 We will never
00:16:59.960 stop sharing the
00:17:01.040 truth.
00:17:01.260 We founded this
00:17:02.660 organization with
00:17:03.540 the mission to be
00:17:04.560 the life, family,
00:17:05.960 and culture source
00:17:06.940 for men and women
00:17:08.060 who seek to know
00:17:09.380 the truth.
00:17:10.380 We have established
00:17:11.440 a track record of
00:17:12.780 honest reports and
00:17:14.200 this will never
00:17:15.060 stop, even with
00:17:16.900 censorship happening
00:17:18.200 around the globe.
00:17:19.740 Again, I'm
00:17:21.020 encouraging you to
00:17:22.140 join us on
00:17:22.900 Parler, MeWe,
00:17:23.940 Rumble, and on
00:17:24.940 our email list.

00:17:27.300 the direct links in
00:17:28.840 the description of
00:17:29.840 this video.
00:17:31.180 May God bless you
00:17:31.960 and keep you, and
00:17:33.020 we are so thankful
00:17:33.800 that you've chosen
