The John-Henry Westen Show - MIRACLE! St. Michael statue on President Trump's bedside table： Fr. Altman tells the story

00:00:00.000 What is this about President Trump and a statue that you gave him?

00:00:03.400 I don't think I've publicly mentioned this before.

00:00:05.520 I mean, I've told a few people who there's nothing less than miraculous.

00:00:16.040 Hey, my friends.

00:00:17.460 We are finally back with someone who's very familiar to you all.

00:00:21.880 We actually were without Father for so long

00:00:24.400 that we actually aired an old show with him that was very popular with you

00:00:28.180 with regard to Sister Faustina.

00:00:31.140 But we wanted to talk to Father about a few very controversial things.

00:00:35.700 Surprise, surprise.

00:00:36.940 Starting with his very controversial video,

00:00:40.160 which was one of the last ones we saw from him.

00:00:42.900 You're going to want to stay tuned to this episode of The John A. Weston Show.

00:00:47.040 Do you know that more than one out of every eight people in the world

00:00:52.140 calls themselves a Catholic?

00:00:54.100 So why isn't the world already on fire with hope and love?

00:00:58.180 Well, because a false pseudo-Christianity is preached from many pulpits

00:01:03.000 in place of the true gospel of Jesus.

00:01:05.760 Yet as the world crisis deepens, it becomes clearer that only God can save us.

00:01:10.640 But he asks us to do our part.

00:01:13.640 At LifeSite News, we are committed to spreading the true Catholic faith.

00:01:18.140 We trust that God will bring about the renewal of the church in his own time,

00:01:21.700 but we must do our part to share the truth.

00:01:24.800 Please support LifeSite News today.

00:01:27.080 To help us keep the faith alive, go to give.lifesitenews.com right now.

00:01:31.660 Father Altman.

00:01:36.980 Greetings.

00:01:37.780 Greetings.

00:01:38.480 Oh, it's always just so good to see you, my hero.

00:01:40.880 Oh, man.

00:01:41.580 Let's begin as we always do, with your sign of the cross.

00:01:43.620 All right.

00:01:43.940 Amen.

00:01:44.380 Amen.

00:01:44.500 Amen.

00:01:46.580 Heavenly Father, guide our words, guide our knowledge, guide our wisdom,

00:01:51.560 so that we can give to others in service to you the truth of our faith,

00:01:57.560 that all might see the light of Christ and follow you along the narrow path to the narrow gate.

00:02:03.420 And we ask for this grace in nominipatris, affiliates, spiritus, sancti.

00:02:06.280 Amen.

00:02:06.900 Amen.

00:02:08.060 Amen.

00:02:08.460 So, one of the things that happened with your now super famous video with regard to Pope Francis

00:02:16.840 and that he's not Pope, that's very well understood.

00:02:21.420 Archbishop Vigano has expressed doubts that, you know, he's not the Pope,

00:02:25.740 as has Bishop Grasida of Texas.

00:02:28.040 Yes.

00:02:28.700 As has Archbishop Jan Pavalenga of formerly Kazakhstan.

00:02:34.300 Okay.

00:02:34.700 And so, all of them have expressed these doubts for years, actually, before you,

00:02:39.020 at least with regard to Archbishop Jan Pavalenga and Bishop Grasida.

00:02:43.660 But in your statement, you talked about how he's going to hell,

00:02:49.060 and then later you talked about how because of the evil they're doing,

00:02:53.980 their deaths can't come soon enough.

00:02:56.060 Yeah.

00:02:56.260 I think it's the sooner the better.

00:02:57.900 Yeah.

00:02:58.380 I think that was the phrase that I usually use.

00:03:00.900 Yeah.

00:03:01.240 The sooner the better.

00:03:01.940 And that really caused a stir amongst people.

00:03:03.500 It did because if you put all of it together, and I know you didn't say it, 0.98

00:03:07.420 but it seemed if you put it all together, you were hoping that they go to hell 0.85

00:03:11.180 and it can't come soon enough. 0.55

00:03:13.060 And that's not what you said.

00:03:13.960 Right.

00:03:14.600 But it certainly seemed that way.

00:03:17.200 And we had a call about this, but you were also very ill.

00:03:20.540 So here we are a long time later.

00:03:23.600 Yeah.

00:03:24.000 And I wanted to get from you.

00:03:25.160 I'm still very ill.

00:03:26.460 I had my albuterol several times before I came into the room tonight.

00:03:30.660 Oh, wow.

00:03:31.320 Yeah.

00:03:31.760 So hopefully I won't start coughing.

00:03:33.240 But there's going to be a lot of people now praying for you because Father Altman's not

00:03:36.080 doing well, hasn't been doing well for a long, long, long time.

00:03:39.180 Thank you.

00:03:39.340 So I think I made a joke today about somebody at the USCCB has a pin, the voodoo doll, 0.92

00:03:43.880 pin cushion thing.

00:03:45.100 It just seems one thing after another.

00:03:46.580 Anyway.

00:03:46.820 What's your real take on that?

00:03:48.200 Because, I mean, I know that because I speak to you on a personal level, then, and I know

00:03:53.680 what you're thinking is you want the Pope to convert.

00:03:57.960 Yes.

00:03:58.640 So here's the thing.

00:04:00.260 And people need to understand that, first of all, I don't want anybody to go to hell.

00:04:04.100 Almighty God, our Father, doesn't want anybody to go to hell.

00:04:06.460 Jesus came so that people wouldn't have to go to hell.

00:04:09.340 He suffered and died so that wouldn't happen.

00:04:11.220 But he also said many will and few will choose that narrow road to the narrow gate.

00:04:17.820 So, I mean, we're deluding ourselves if we don't think, including myself, I might end

00:04:22.580 up there.

00:04:23.140 I always say martyrdom is the only way I'm going to make it.

00:04:25.940 My greatest concern with Jorge Borgoglio and so many other shepherds of the church, just

00:04:31.740 like it was in Jesus' day, was concern for all the souls that are being led astray down

00:04:38.020 that broad road to destruction through all the various heresies and apostasies and anti-Catholic

00:04:44.720 teachings that he's just spewing forth.

00:04:47.720 My concern is for their souls.

00:04:50.020 So, Jorge Borgoglio has to repent.

00:04:53.620 Yeah. 0.99

00:04:53.980 Well, he has to, or he will burn in hell. 0.65

00:04:55.840 I mean, that is, you mentioned the word trajectory, I think, in our private conversation.

00:05:01.100 And, I mean, the trajectory is like straight down.

00:05:03.500 It's like one of those rise, like demon drop at Cedar Point in Ohio.

00:05:06.460 You know, you're just straight down.

00:05:09.980 And he's going there, unless he changes.

00:05:13.600 But you are what you do, you become what you practice.

00:05:16.940 And Judas practiced betrayal long before the big betrayal.

00:05:21.200 And look where he is now.

00:05:22.720 People want to pretend he's not in hell.

00:05:24.340 So, Jorge Borgoglio wants to pretend he's not in hell.

00:05:26.960 Right?

00:05:27.100 And then he's got that picture where Jesus goes down.

00:05:29.100 He's very homoerotic.

00:05:30.320 Goes down and like rescues Judas from hell. 0.96

00:05:32.760 No, Jorge.

00:05:33.680 I don't want Jorge to go to hell.

00:05:36.560 I don't want anybody to go to hell.

00:05:38.040 I don't want myself to go to hell.

00:05:39.340 But there's a demand, there's a requirement for us, who know better, to demand, to repent.

00:05:45.220 And we get this straight out of the gospel.

00:05:47.720 John the Baptist.

00:05:48.600 Who's coming toward him for baptism?

00:05:50.240 The Pharisees and the scribes.

00:05:51.640 What did he say?

00:05:52.400 He didn't say, what are you doing here?

00:05:54.800 That's not what he said.

00:05:55.960 He said, what are you brood of vipers doing coming here? 1.00

00:05:59.080 Show some evidence of your repentance.

00:06:01.060 I mean, that's straight out of the gospel, Matthew chapter 3.

00:06:05.480 So, what I'd say to Jorge Borgoglio, show some evidence.

00:06:09.900 And you tell me, John Henry, you who know way more than I could ever dream of knowing

00:06:14.440 about the things that are going on in the church.

00:06:16.900 You tell me some evidence that any of these vipers have repented.

00:06:20.420 I don't see it.

00:06:21.180 I don't see it.

00:06:21.620 What I see is they keep piling it on more and more.

00:06:23.660 So, let's be clear on this.

00:06:26.940 And people, don't misinterpret my words.

00:06:30.840 I want you to go to heaven as much as I'd want Jorge Borgoglio to go to heaven.

00:06:35.400 But if he's leading you astray and you're following, it's like the blind following the

00:06:38.840 blind.

00:06:39.120 Jesus said that.

00:06:39.920 Let's pray.

00:06:40.780 Let's pray right now.

00:06:42.500 All right.

00:06:42.720 Heavenly Father, Nathan, what's his last name?

00:06:49.360 He was the doctor, Nathanson, Bernard Nathanson, who had participated in, what, 50,000 abortions,

00:06:56.980 converted.

00:06:58.300 It is possible for people to convert.

00:07:02.800 Send him, Father.

00:07:05.240 He's not going to listen to me.

00:07:06.420 Send him, Father, in heaven, someone who will be that one light where he will see the error

00:07:13.980 of his ways and the lands he has led astray.

00:07:17.060 St. Paul.

00:07:18.240 St. Paul.

00:07:20.580 He was struck down by Almighty God himself.

00:07:23.220 So Almighty God, that's what it takes.

00:07:24.900 Okay.

00:07:25.720 And do it.

00:07:26.520 We ask you this, Father, because if he does, he will reset the trajectory of so many.

00:07:33.260 Have him repent, Father.

00:07:34.380 Publicly repent.

00:07:35.220 Show some evidence of his repentance before he dies.

00:07:38.880 And we ask you this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

00:07:43.440 Amen.

00:07:44.380 So I always said this about Madonna.

00:07:46.040 You know, she's that singer that was, oh, she represents, I mean, that name, how she's

00:07:53.320 drug that through the mud.

00:07:54.560 Yeah.

00:07:54.860 But I thought, because she's Catholic.

00:07:56.640 Yeah.

00:07:57.000 If she repented, imagine the impact she would have.

00:08:01.420 If Jorge Bergoglu repented, and he's very much in need of it.

00:08:05.220 Mm-hmm.

00:08:06.200 Imagine the impact.

00:08:07.380 Well, I could imagine because while he's in the opposite direction, he has what it would

00:08:14.280 take for the Pope we need to clean the Church.

00:08:17.420 Yes.

00:08:17.660 Because he has no care whatsoever what people think.

00:08:21.700 Right?

00:08:22.120 He would take all the evil guys, which is maybe most, and just say, goodbye.

00:08:28.340 You're not a cardinal.

00:08:29.440 You're not even a priest.

00:08:30.440 Go away.

00:08:31.100 You have no pension.

00:08:31.920 You have no nothing.

00:08:32.600 Go.

00:08:33.300 Yes.

00:08:33.560 Because that's sort of what he's done on the other end.

00:08:36.940 Oh, he has.

00:08:37.600 Yeah.

00:08:37.860 Imagine.

00:08:38.340 So it's like St. Paul.

00:08:39.360 He was the worst persecutor, right?

00:08:41.040 Yeah.

00:08:41.280 And all of a sudden, he's the greatest supporter and gave his life for Christ.

00:08:45.220 I'll tell you a funny story, Father, because I actually have a story.

00:08:48.600 I haven't really told it much, but I had a conversation.

00:08:50.600 I shouldn't say the names.

00:08:51.480 But anyway, I had a conversation with a Mother Superior who was losing her father, Bishop,

00:08:57.040 who was great because he was being taken down.

00:09:00.440 And I had a friend, Bishop, who was one of the persons looking into his case.

00:09:05.380 And she came up to me and asked if I happened to know him.

00:09:08.200 Yes.

00:09:08.520 And made the connection supplementary report.

00:09:11.200 She lost the Bishop anyway.

00:09:12.780 And he was one of the best Bishops.

00:09:14.420 Yeah.

00:09:15.640 And it was funny because I got the news that he was taken down.

00:09:20.040 And I called the Mother Superior and I was walking on my way to church.

00:09:25.100 And I told her, I'm so sorry.

00:09:29.560 You've lost your father.

00:09:31.920 We've all lost a great shepherd.

00:09:33.620 And I gave her my condolences.

00:09:35.440 And I hung up with her and they were very, very sad.

00:09:38.620 And I thought, gosh, he is wrecking the church.

00:09:43.920 He's hurting so many people, dragging a father away from his children.

00:09:50.120 And they were very much his daughters, you know.

00:09:52.180 Yeah.

00:09:52.920 Uh-huh.

00:09:54.060 And then I was like, oh, that's like exactly Saul.

00:09:59.960 Dragging fathers away from their children.

00:10:02.180 Dragging parents from their kids. 1.00

00:10:04.700 And having them kill him. 1.00

00:10:05.400 Yeah, killing him. 1.00

00:10:06.500 I just thought, wow. 0.97

00:10:08.080 He needs a conversion like Saul to become Paul.

00:10:11.700 Yeah.

00:10:11.940 And if our Lord is going to actually intervene, because he tends not to do it quite that dramatically.

00:10:17.360 I mean, there's been one St. Paul.

00:10:19.480 But when it has eternal significance for so many people, 2,000 years worth of Catholics.

00:10:26.320 Mm-hmm.

00:10:28.140 What better person than to just knock him off his horse. 0.56

00:10:31.200 Yeah.

00:10:31.900 Or off his little polpemobile. 0.99

00:10:34.420 Do that now, Father.

00:10:36.240 Like you did for St. Paul.

00:10:37.440 Because the results, as you said, he would have to, out of good conscience, go and clean house.

00:10:44.420 And he knows who needs to be cleaned up.

00:10:46.800 Absolutely.

00:10:47.760 Yes.

00:10:48.260 It would have been the perfect setup.

00:10:50.380 Yeah.

00:10:50.740 I'll get all the bad guys out in the open.

00:10:52.660 Yeah.

00:10:52.760 They're all in my closet.

00:10:54.080 They're here.

00:10:54.620 Yeah, right.

00:10:55.360 Funny you should use that word.

00:10:56.840 Yeah.

00:10:57.840 And you know what's funny?

00:10:58.820 When I got to church.

00:10:59.740 Yeah.

00:11:00.140 It was the reading of the conversion of St. Paul.

00:11:01.600 Oh, was it really?

00:11:02.420 Oh, there you go.

00:11:03.160 I was like, wow.

00:11:04.000 Okay.

00:11:04.420 And I didn't know if I was supposed to take that as a sign.

00:11:06.680 Yeah.

00:11:06.940 But it's funny, too, because Bishop Schneider is the one who started praying openly for

00:11:14.260 the conversion of Pope Francis.

00:11:16.060 Yes.

00:11:16.800 I've had private conversations with him on a couple of occasions, maybe as many as three

00:11:21.920 or four, and this discussion has come up.

00:11:25.860 Yeah.

00:11:26.180 He's praying for his conversion.

00:11:28.720 Yeah.

00:11:29.060 And he may have said that directly to Jorge Bergoglu himself.

00:11:32.280 Wouldn't surprise me because he's the one who took up the Holy Father when he went to

00:11:36.620 on the Abu Dhabi statement.

00:11:37.800 He went right to him.

00:11:38.640 Right.

00:11:38.920 Yes.

00:11:39.420 Yes.

00:11:39.700 Francis seemed to back off a little, but then went hardcore again.

00:11:42.320 Yeah.

00:11:42.680 Yeah.

00:11:43.020 So, you know, it is somewhat stunning.

00:11:47.320 I wanted to also talk to you about President Trump.

00:11:50.160 Yes.

00:11:50.440 Because you've been to like Mar-a-Lago every other week.

00:11:53.640 What the heck is going on?

00:11:54.640 Yeah.

00:11:55.400 I've been really blessed to be friends with people there and in the process of being there.

00:12:02.280 To have met so many incredible people who are very familiar with the political side,

00:12:09.400 are very familiar with the deep state, which we know exists not just in the state, but in

00:12:14.840 the church.

00:12:15.840 But the ramifications for state and church are the same.

00:12:18.400 Bad things happen and it's hard to clean house.

00:12:21.620 Remember his famous line during his first election?

00:12:23.760 He was, I'm going to drain the swamp.

00:12:25.640 But I don't think he, I mean, this is just my personal opinion.

00:12:28.580 I don't think he, because in the business world, right?

00:12:30.560 He'd say, do this.

00:12:31.760 And if you don't, you're fired, right?

00:12:33.380 Well, it doesn't work that way in the government.

00:12:35.260 And so he's faced a lot of opposition from Republicans too, from fake Republicans, from

00:12:44.400 rhinos.

00:12:44.800 So should he get in again as the population wants, demonstrably, overwhelmingly, maybe

00:12:53.160 he'll be more successful than cleaning house.

00:12:54.960 And you know, right away he was hit with, of course, then the COVID nightmare, the biological

00:12:59.820 weapon that Fauci was involved in.

00:13:01.580 And that, if you're trying to fix a country, and then you have this huge thing, which shut

00:13:08.260 down the globe in just weeks.

00:13:11.140 I'm not disappointed in my, in his lack of fulfillment of the promises that he was trying

00:13:16.480 to fulfill, that he made during the campaign.

00:13:21.480 But I almost fear if he does get reelected, which he should be, if there's an honest and

00:13:28.160 true election, what the ramifications will come from the left again, what catastrophe

00:13:33.980 they will create, that they're already planning, because they plan, like if they plan those,

00:13:38.900 what are those called?

00:13:40.860 Contingencies.

00:13:41.440 Contingencies.

00:13:42.320 Like if this, then this, right?

00:13:44.400 They're already there planning, because they know it's a distinct possibility.

00:13:50.040 No matter what happens, we better fasten our seatbelts and pray, pray, because our help

00:13:54.800 is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.

00:13:56.300 It's not in any politician, including Donald Trump.

00:13:58.780 What is this about President Trump and a statue that you gave him?

00:14:02.860 Yeah.

00:14:03.300 So this is, I don't think, I don't think I've publicly mentioned this before.

00:14:09.280 I mean, I've told a few people, it was nothing less than miraculous, that I knew I was going

00:14:16.040 down, there had a big Catholics for Trump prayer thing.

00:14:20.220 You were there.

00:14:21.280 It wasn't that glorious, right?

00:14:22.660 And so there's like a thousand people in this big ballroom at Mar-a-Lago.

00:14:28.900 I knew I was flying down on Monday, because it was Tuesday the 19th, if he's to St. Joseph.

00:14:32.560 I mean, it was such a perfect timing.

00:14:34.680 And on, so late Saturday, Oscar Delgado, who, you know him, right?

00:14:40.980 And you know he won that four and a half million, and he gave it all to Adoration Chapels and

00:14:45.000 dedicated it to our Blessed Mother.

00:14:46.460 Yeah, a huge statue also.

00:14:48.840 Of Arlena Cabello, yes, exactly, in Rwanda, in case people don't know what that is.

00:14:54.580 So he calls me up on late Saturday.

00:14:57.240 Father, I've got to see you Sunday.

00:15:00.160 I've got a 12-hour day planned on Sunday.

00:15:02.540 It's already in the books.

00:15:04.400 Oscar wants to get in the middle of it.

00:15:06.480 So I was frustrated with Oscar, but I respect Oscar.

00:15:09.760 How can you not?

00:15:11.580 So if Oscar needs a favor, okay, I'll do it.

00:15:14.160 So I didn't know what it was.

00:15:15.740 So I get down to Houston, Minnesota, and he meets me in a sacristy there, in a private

00:15:22.860 chapel, because I was celebrating a private mass down there.

00:15:25.500 And he hands me this box in it, and he says it's a statue of St. Michael that he got at

00:15:30.580 the cave of St. Michael in Italy.

00:15:32.860 He says, you have to give this to President Trump.

00:15:34.940 Well, okay, you can't get within 10 feet of President Trump.

00:15:39.120 And if you get nine and a half feet, there's going to be three guys that are going to take

00:15:43.420 you down.

00:15:44.320 And I'd been to Marlowe at this point, I think, I think this would be my fifth time there.

00:15:47.880 Sixth time, I think, was April.

00:15:49.720 I mean, I had seen him.

00:15:51.040 You see him walking, and he's a very humble man.

00:15:54.340 And he gives his time to see it personally.

00:15:58.960 It's not show.

00:16:00.280 It's genuine.

00:16:01.120 So anyway, so he, so I take it down, and I'm going to this big thing, right?

00:16:07.860 There's like a thousand people there, and I was very nervous, because, you know, I look

00:16:11.100 like this, and this stands out.

00:16:13.780 And I knew I had to walk, and I've always been uncomfortable with strangers, so I knew

00:16:16.700 I had to walk in that thousand-person ballroom.

00:16:19.300 And right away, I started meeting people.

00:16:20.980 One was Jesse.

00:16:22.480 And, oh, so, oh my goodness.

00:16:24.440 So anyway, so I go into dinner, and I have this box with me, sitting in the table, and

00:16:30.000 I'm thinking, well, he was, I think he was up in New York, because he was still in that 0.99

00:16:34.640 stupid trial, that abomination of a trial, the abomination that it was. 0.98

00:16:40.680 So I didn't even know if he was going to be there tonight, but I thought, at least I 0.99

00:16:43.140 can say to Oscar, Oscar, I took the box with me, never saw him, never had a chance, he

00:16:47.720 wasn't there.

00:16:48.360 Then dinner finally was over, and then there was this, I call it the swarm.

00:16:52.880 Um, and because people want to say hello and visit, and get selfies, and the like, and

00:16:58.580 I literally, myself and two musicians, were the last people going out the door at the

00:17:05.480 end of the day.

00:17:06.140 There's a couple cleanup crew in there, but as for attendance, myself and two musicians,

00:17:11.120 and at this point, it's like after five or six hours, and I said, I need to, where's

00:17:15.600 the restroom?

00:17:16.740 I said, you know, we're human.

00:17:18.480 And they pointed down the hallway this way, so I went there.

00:17:20.600 And so when I came out, I literally was the last person to leave the venue, and I

00:17:25.180 didn't know how to get to where I was going, because it's clear on the other side of

00:17:28.140 Mur-a-Lago, along the beach, and we call them McBannas.

00:17:32.460 So I, I spotted a security guard, a young security guard, and I said, can you at least

00:17:37.060 like point me in the direction?

00:17:37.980 He says, come, come with me.

00:17:38.940 I'll take down the shortcut.

00:17:39.900 And we walked by, and it was very close to the front door of where the president is,

00:17:44.440 and we just kept walking, because you don't, you don't meander there.

00:17:48.480 I finally got to a point where I knew where I was, and so I was carrying the box, and

00:17:54.540 I said, okay, I can take it from here.

00:17:56.120 So I started walking, and so you walk out past this, I don't know how to describe it,

00:18:00.380 but past this area, and then eventually you walk down this curvy sidewalk, go over to

00:18:04.420 the cabanas on the beach.

00:18:06.420 And on that entire time that I had been there, I'd never seen a single person on the grass.

00:18:12.700 I'd be afraid to step off that sidewalk, because if you, if you get into, where are they

00:18:16.240 hiding, right, the Secret Service?

00:18:18.360 Yeah.

00:18:18.720 So I happened to see over to my left, two young, young men, and I thought, what are

00:18:26.660 they doing over there on the grass?

00:18:29.160 I just kept walking, and all of a sudden I hear, Father Altman.

00:18:33.720 Hey, my friends.

00:18:35.040 You've heard about the Eucharistic revival that's going on.

00:18:38.200 The pilgrimage is going to culminate in Indiana at the Eucharistic Congress.

00:18:43.100 Well, we've got amazing news for you.

00:18:44.700 We are holding a traditional Latin math steps away from the main Congress center, because

00:18:50.000 we learned at first there was no traditional Latin mass, not on the schedule, and we thought,

00:18:55.580 oh no, what we can do.

00:18:56.440 One of our donors said, can you fix that?

00:18:58.580 We found Victory Field right across, steps away from where the Congress is being held

00:19:02.560 to hold the Latin mass.

00:19:03.320 And guess what?

00:19:04.140 We learned that since then, there were some announcements of other Latin masses that are

00:19:09.460 going to be in the area on different days.

00:19:11.740 And so it's really awesome.

00:19:13.020 So if you are in the traditional Latin mass, you thought, oh, I can't go to the Congress

00:19:17.660 because they don't have one there.

00:19:19.320 They do have them there now.

00:19:21.100 And it's just wonderful.

00:19:23.000 This is Father Fasching.

00:19:24.120 He's going to be there.

00:19:25.320 And this is Father James Altman, who's going to be there.

00:19:28.140 They're going to be celebrating masses for us.

00:19:30.160 Lifesight's going to be inside the Congress as well, as is Vicki Yamasaki.

00:19:35.000 Vicki, go ahead. 0.95

00:19:35.500 Yeah, we're just so excited.

00:19:37.640 We hope you join us and sign up for this free event, free lunches because of a generous donor.

00:19:46.880 As he said, I'm actually going to be at the Eucharistic Congress, and I'm going to walk

00:19:52.300 away from my booth so that I can enjoy this traditional Latin mass and these three great

00:19:59.060 speakers that will offer insights into why it is that so many Catholics no longer believe

00:20:09.420 in the real presence.

00:20:11.720 As we know, in our Catholic culture, in our Catholic teaching, there's a phrase,

00:20:16.740 lexorandi, lexorgedendi, as we pray, so we believe.

00:20:20.260 And through the traditional Latin mass, it inspires such depth of prayer.

00:20:25.800 No funny business going on up there.

00:20:27.400 People believe.

00:20:28.160 And so we're trying to inspire that belief in the real presence because without which

00:20:32.480 we do not have life within us.

00:20:34.340 Thus, what we're doing will actually be throwing fuel on the fire revival, a belief in the real

00:20:41.520 presence, the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the Holy Eucharist.

00:20:45.220 Amen.

00:20:45.680 Amen.

00:20:46.580 Father, I'm thrilled for the opportunity to remind you what you can be doing to renew your

00:20:53.360 own personal devotion to the Eucharist and also how to get others to remind them to deepen

00:21:00.620 their faith in worshiping our Lord in the Eucharist.

00:21:03.260 So based on my own experience, it's just going to be a great opportunity to remind people of

00:21:08.460 what the church teaches us that our lives are supposed to revolve around the Holy Eucharist.

00:21:13.380 So I'm looking forward to it.

00:21:14.760 I'm going to walk right across the street to Victory Field and join you for this beautiful

00:21:23.900 traditional Latin mass on July 19th and hear from these three fantastic speakers.

00:21:31.260 And maybe you can catch the other traditional Latin mass the day before with Archbishop Corte

00:21:39.420 Leon, and now that's a little further away.

00:21:42.960 That's just under two miles at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, smaller parish.

00:21:49.860 It can seat about 400, so you better get a seat early there.

00:21:54.340 Victory Field seats about 10,000.

00:21:57.300 So register soon.

00:21:59.420 We can't wait to see you.

00:22:00.820 Join us, our friends, at Victory Field on July 19th, right steps away from the Eucharistic

00:22:07.540 Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.

00:22:10.480 God bless you and look forward to seeing you there.

00:22:13.720 And I look over and there's Bo.

00:22:16.860 Now, nobody knows who Bo is, but Bo was at my table.

00:22:19.820 I'd met him before.

00:22:21.220 I'm really bad with names and faces, but I recognized him.

00:22:23.500 And so I walked over to, because you can't be rude and just, so I walked over and right

00:22:30.220 now it's about a quarter to 11, quarter to midnight.

00:22:33.880 Oh, quarter to midnight.

00:22:34.480 It was quite, yeah, it was late.

00:22:35.540 I mean, when I left that venue, it was, I was literally the last person out.

00:22:38.960 And he said, this is my friend, Baron.

00:22:42.800 Oh, ha.

00:22:44.500 Right?

00:22:44.980 So my only image of Baron is at the inauguration.

00:22:48.620 And he's like, I think 11?

00:22:50.800 And just a little boy.

00:22:51.980 And the left-wing media were hammering him.

00:22:54.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:55.060 Oh, that was a disgrace.

00:22:57.100 Anyway, he's now, I think, six, seven.

00:22:59.160 So like, you look up like this.

00:23:01.060 So when Bo says... 0.99

00:23:01.800 So when Bo says, this is my friend, Baron, I immediately say, I felt like an idiot, the 0.99

00:23:10.600 Baron? 0.97

00:23:11.300 Like, I mean, how many Barons do you know?

00:23:13.240 I only know one.

00:23:15.560 Yes, the Baron.

00:23:16.840 And I looked up and sure enough, and I was able then to give him that statue and he gave

00:23:24.440 it to his dad.

00:23:25.740 Oh, wow.

00:23:26.640 The next morning, Cameron texted me and said, hey, I heard you ran into Baron.

00:23:32.380 How do you know?

00:23:33.540 Well, because Bo and he are friends, too.

00:23:35.260 And they're all...

00:23:37.160 This is why I've been blessed to go there, hopefully being a presence of Christ, a light

00:23:43.460 of Christ when I go.

00:23:44.760 But the fact of the matter is, is that the statue did get into President Trump's hands,

00:23:48.620 nothing less than America's...

00:23:49.920 The timing.

00:23:51.880 But for the fact...

00:23:52.440 In fact, in fact, Vicki's here.

00:23:55.480 She interviewed me in the ballroom after all things were all right.

00:23:59.320 And then she forgot to ask a question.

00:24:01.800 As I recall, it had to do maybe with my help.

00:24:03.860 I can't remember.

00:24:05.000 So then we had to redo like a second chunk of the interview.

00:24:08.680 And then all these other people that I was held up to the very last moment so that when

00:24:14.640 I'm walking back, after getting a little shortcut help from one of those guards, that I would

00:24:19.640 run into the very only person that I would ever know that I could give that statue to,

00:24:25.620 to give it to the President.

00:24:27.820 Yeah.

00:24:28.440 Nothing less than a miracle.

00:24:29.580 No.

00:24:29.840 Because you had the miracle the day before also that Oscar knew to fly out to get to you the

00:24:34.420 statue in the middle of your crazy busy day.

00:24:36.800 Yes.

00:24:37.380 That's nuts because he hears you're going there.

00:24:39.300 Because he found out I was going.

00:24:40.340 Now, I don't even know how he knew I was going because I wasn't on the menu, so to speak.

00:24:43.680 Exactly.

00:24:43.860 And even if you were going there, who says you're going to see drunk?

00:24:47.120 Exactly.

00:24:47.840 Exactly.

00:24:48.800 Yeah.

00:24:49.620 And in fact, he didn't come that night, the President.

00:24:54.200 He wasn't there that night.

00:24:55.560 We all hoped that maybe he could just a little wave, but no, he wasn't even there that night.

00:25:00.640 So who better than how blessed I was in God's providence to run into the one person that

00:25:07.060 I could give that to that would give it to him?

00:25:08.440 And he did.

00:25:09.220 And so then I hear back that it was on his desk and perhaps on his bed stand.

00:25:14.560 That St. Michael statue from the cave in Italy that got into his hands.

00:25:19.040 Yeah.

00:25:20.240 Okay.

00:25:21.020 So this could be super important.

00:25:23.440 And I'll tell you why.

00:25:24.340 I made a video some time ago now because I was so convinced.

00:25:29.800 President Trump wants to take on the deep state and wants to take on the globalists.

00:25:35.580 Yes.

00:25:36.620 But those are just monikers we use for the Satanists.

00:25:42.180 They're the actual people.

00:25:43.660 Thank you for saying so.

00:25:45.240 But they're the actual people.

00:25:46.480 This is the fruit of the Masons and the fruit of every demonic plan. 0.96

00:25:52.240 Yeah.

00:25:52.620 But we have all sorts of nice names for it now.

00:25:56.200 Oh, they're the globalists.

00:25:57.780 Right.

00:25:58.160 They're the ones who want to do the great reset.

00:26:01.100 Right.

00:26:01.320 The World Health Organization.

00:26:04.400 Do you know somebody was just telling me today over there in Davos where they were so creeped

00:26:09.280 out because there's these brand new huge buildings, World Health Organization, all these other

00:26:16.460 things, these globalists.

00:26:17.200 They're building the central headquarters of their globalist domination.

00:26:23.720 They're building and he was so creeped out by it.

00:26:26.940 So, yeah.

00:26:27.400 I mean, we call them nice names, but they're not nice.

00:26:30.880 That's right.

00:26:31.460 But that's what I mean.

00:26:32.780 So, even Donald Trump, even as Donald Trump as President of the United States with all

00:26:37.980 of his prowess and even if the U.S. were on its game, they still couldn't defeat Satan,

00:26:43.740 the prince of this world.

00:26:44.580 Right.

00:26:44.940 Because they're up against powers and principalities.

00:26:47.440 This is not just because what he's talking about taking down, I don't know that he understands

00:26:52.540 fully.

00:26:53.540 And then he wants to do that as a non-Catholic. 0.63

00:26:58.120 Yeah.

00:26:58.580 That's not going to fly.

00:27:00.460 So, I see in the statue of St. Michael some real hope because, look, I love what President

00:27:06.840 Trump did with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

00:27:08.800 I love that he had so many Catholics.

00:27:10.940 The only president to ever show up at Right to Life.

00:27:13.500 Absolutely.

00:27:14.020 The only one.

00:27:14.660 Ever.

00:27:15.300 Absolutely.

00:27:15.740 However, he also just did this huge push for IVF, he and all the Republicans.

00:27:23.300 Yeah.

00:27:23.800 And then he had Rick Grinnell and the commercial from Rick Grinnell was so bad.

00:27:28.960 It was, he's the most LGBT president ever. 0.97

00:27:32.660 He's one of the ambassadors that he appointed.

00:27:36.200 It's stunningly bad in that way.

00:27:39.220 How do we reconcile?

00:27:40.520 This is what a lot of the wannabe Catholics who try and say, yeah, but Trump is, how Trump 1.00

00:27:47.720 given that?

00:27:50.180 But who else is there?

00:27:51.220 What else is there?

00:27:51.960 Anyway, I'd love to hear your take.

00:27:53.120 Sure.

00:27:53.380 Just like with Bernard Nathanson, that I think I talked about in the opening prayer, in his

00:27:57.620 conversion, or I talked about when I was talking about Jorge Bacoglio.

00:28:00.280 Yeah.

00:28:00.580 We all would like, watch, now people, you need to hear this.

00:28:04.360 We all want Trump to be the perfect Catholic.

00:28:09.880 Right?

00:28:10.400 And I'd like you to tell me, right here, right now, you give me the name of one perfect Catholic.

00:28:15.120 Well, maybe him, but who of us is perfect in our decision-making, in our lives of faith,

00:28:25.260 or in our lives of sin?

00:28:26.320 Because we all have that too.

00:28:27.820 You tell me the name of one person, and then quit complaining about the one person who's

00:28:31.740 at least moving in that direction.

00:28:33.440 Okay?

00:28:33.620 So he's not there.

00:28:34.980 Right?

00:28:35.580 Do you tell me the name of a single bishop?

00:28:38.220 You got John Stowe.

00:28:39.220 I think we're going to talk about that later.

00:28:40.820 John Stowe's down there flying the pride flag above his cathedral, and they're doing 1.00

00:28:44.760 it all over Canada.

00:28:46.400 John Stowe, who's holding this huge thing down in St. Louis Archdiocese.

00:28:51.760 Well, how about we start talking about the bishops?

00:28:53.620 You want to rip on Trump?

00:28:54.680 Let's talk about the bishops.

00:28:56.480 They're the ones who aren't leading.

00:28:57.820 And they're the ones charged by God.

00:29:00.120 Okay, can I just tell you my personal opinion?

00:29:01.720 Please, please.

00:29:02.300 All right.

00:29:03.460 It's kind of off the cuff.

00:29:05.000 I'm glad he's not Catholic right now. 1.00

00:29:07.660 Right.

00:29:07.860 Because if he was Catholic, if he were truly Catholic, he might be constrained in some of

00:29:17.220 the positions that he will hold forth, which would prevent him from being reelected, allowing 0.99

00:29:25.700 then a damned Democrat to enter in. 0.97

00:29:33.100 And as a wise person in national intelligence at the forefront of national intelligence told 0.99

00:29:39.600 me, if the Democrats win on January 20th, 2025, we will officially be a communist nation.

00:29:47.620 We can't afford for Trump to lose.

00:29:52.080 So if he posited certain absolute Catholic positions, now he's a man of integrity, I think.

00:30:01.440 So if, I don't think I know, man of integrity.

00:30:04.780 And if he believes something, that's what he's going to do.

00:30:07.860 And he doesn't care what anybody else thinks.

00:30:10.720 Glory be to God.

00:30:11.860 He is not beholden to anybody.

00:30:15.000 So if he held purely Catholic views right now, that might impair November 2024.

00:30:23.240 So once that happens, maybe that's the time that in the grace of his openness, his soul

00:30:32.320 was open to hear the voice of God when God spoke to him.

00:30:36.600 And then he became Paul.

00:30:39.340 I believe President Trump is open to hearing truth and would convert to the depth of faith

00:30:48.980 that we have.

00:30:49.660 But anybody that wants to criticize him now, you go talk to John Stowe first and all the

00:30:56.560 other bishops.

00:30:57.160 Because you know what?

00:30:57.780 Stowe, there's 300 bishops in the U.S.

00:30:59.400 Only Strickland would have spoken against him.

00:31:01.280 Strickland was the only one that spoke against James Martin at the U.S. CCB meetings, right?

00:31:05.320 That put him in the sights of Jorge Bergoglio, right?

00:31:09.320 You want to complain about Trump, you complain about the other 299 bishops.

00:31:12.480 Because every single one of them is guilty by their silence.

00:31:14.820 Their silence is complicity.

00:31:16.040 And I talked about that today with several different examples from very great people

00:31:20.360 like Bonhoeffer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who said, silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

00:31:25.380 And Pope Innocent, who said that if you have a duty by doing nothing against evil, then you

00:31:31.780 are approving of it.

00:31:33.720 And then Chaput, who doesn't like me, I don't know why, Charles Chaput said, Benedict, his

00:31:39.680 opinion is that you don't have to renounce your faith to be an apostate.

00:31:44.640 Apostate means you're not Catholic.

00:31:46.040 You don't have to renounce it publicly to do it.

00:31:48.400 All you have to do is remain silent when you have a duty to speak.

00:31:53.280 And these are profound words.

00:31:55.460 And it applies to every one of us Catholics.

00:31:58.420 So until you start ripping people, until you start ripping on John Stowe and every other 0.96

00:32:04.440 299 bishops that let him get away with this damned apostasy of his, and he's not the only 0.97

00:32:11.500 one by far, then don't come to me and complain that Trump, who's not a Catholic, is somehow 0.98

00:32:17.340 not doing what we want him to do.

00:32:19.920 I hope that makes sense.

00:32:21.100 That was completely off the cuff.

00:32:22.580 But I mean, we want Trump to do what we want Trump to do.

00:32:25.120 But how about we get our bishops to do it first?

00:32:26.780 And then maybe, then maybe, if we led as true Catholics, the politicians would do as well.

00:32:33.420 Remember, Fulton Sheen, he said, if ever the time comes when we fall into the state we're

00:32:39.000 in right now, he was very prophetic, it's because for decades, for half a century, it

00:32:45.680 didn't matter to us who we elected. 0.86

00:32:48.840 None of this would be an issue if, what is it, 80 million Catholics all voted their faith.

00:32:55.880 We wouldn't be having this discussion.

00:32:58.200 But it's because Catholics have failed as Catholics that we are now faced with the mess we're 1.00

00:33:03.740 in.

00:33:05.380 Yeah.

00:33:05.680 So yeah, let's Catholics be Catholics first. 0.99

00:33:07.460 Start with yourself and then see where we can bring along Trump.

00:33:11.000 So it would be very interesting for Trump to win the election and become a guy.

00:33:17.700 I really wish that would happen.

00:33:20.240 But I don't want it to happen before the election because he might lose.

00:33:23.820 You know, in our life, what you can't accomplish in one big leap, you can get with steps incrementally.

00:33:29.220 I'd let it be worked out by Providence some other way.

00:33:31.440 But it's neat that God worked through you for this statue.

00:33:35.740 It's neat that he worked through Oscar, got to you.

00:33:37.840 Yeah.

00:33:38.080 We'll leave it at that because I think that's really neat.

00:33:41.040 Tell us, what does that feel like when you know?

00:33:44.560 You know?

00:33:46.400 Okay, as a priest, this is a cheating question.

00:33:48.320 As a priest, this is so unfair.

00:33:49.800 Well, you're going to ask me some tough questions.

00:33:51.320 Is this a tough one or an easy one?

00:33:52.660 No, no, this is an easy one because it's like God works through you every single day

00:33:56.600 when you confect the sacraments.

00:33:57.940 So that's not fair.

00:33:59.580 But for the laity, God doesn't do that.

00:34:02.680 But this is one of those weird circumstances where it could have happened to the laity too.

00:34:06.980 God worked through you and you can tell because it's too weird otherwise, the whole statue story?

00:34:13.620 Okay, listen, it is nothing less than a miracle.

00:34:16.400 Yeah.

00:34:16.780 A hundred percent.

00:34:17.940 When you reflect on that, wow, God just went to me.

00:34:22.820 Right.

00:34:23.180 Doesn't that feel like?

00:34:24.060 Well, I can answer it this way.

00:34:26.280 I'm an unworthy servant.

00:34:28.360 And somehow, for whatever circumstances brought me to that time and place, he was able to use it.

00:34:34.660 And as I said, I was reluctant to meet with Oscar the day before.

00:34:39.040 I was annoyed because I was busy and I was tired and I was sick.

00:34:43.000 When I look at the whole picture of how that all transpired, I'm just dumbfounded and say, why, Lord?

00:34:50.720 Why me?

00:34:51.380 I'm so unworthy.

00:34:53.520 I'm so unworthy, yeah, Pope St. John Paul II, somebody was talking about him.

00:34:58.180 Since I've been here at this conference, I was with Raymond Arroyo, Jim, because I think I mentioned this story maybe two nights ago,

00:35:04.820 how Raymond was describing how when he first became part of EWTN, he had to go over to Rome and he had to go into,

00:35:13.000 somebody said, you have to go in there and serve the Holy Mass for Pope St. John Paul, well, John Paul, the Holy Father.

00:35:20.620 And he was like, well, who wouldn't feel unworthy?

00:35:24.500 And he walked in, and I'm trying to use his words, he saw the Pope in almost one of those mystical states,

00:35:37.640 which would only make you feel less worthy.

00:35:40.580 When you think of, I said it during a homily, this is where I said it,

00:35:46.120 when you think of the Holy Father, John Paul II, and think, why did he have to go to confession once a week, minimally, if not every day?

00:35:55.700 Think, what could he possibly do that would be need for confession material?

00:36:00.920 But the closer, here's the way it works, the closer you do get to God,

00:36:04.480 the closer you encounter him in these kinds of miracles, like that statue,

00:36:09.120 the more you realize you are not worthy.

00:36:12.660 And you, like those, the 24 elders on the throne, they cast down their golden crowns upon the glassy sea,

00:36:19.200 and they fall down on their face in adoration before the Lamb of God.

00:36:22.720 If that is not what, if that does not, if you don't have that feeling,

00:36:27.060 you better do some real examination of conscience,

00:36:31.540 because you are not on the trajectory that you need to be.

00:36:38.540 It just makes me feel more unworthy.

00:36:41.300 And I mean that 100% sincerely.

00:36:43.900 Yeah.

00:36:45.480 That's beautiful.

00:36:47.180 If we could end up, Father, would you lead us in a prayer for the conversion of President Trump?

00:36:51.160 Okay.

00:36:53.600 Oh, gosh.

00:36:55.100 All right.

00:36:56.540 In nomine patris, if you be in spiritus sati.

00:36:59.320 Amen.

00:37:00.260 Heavenly Father, we always pray for our leaders,

00:37:04.620 that they may see the light of Christ and guide their actions accordingly.

00:37:10.840 We are called to do this.

00:37:12.340 In this case, let us pray for our very patriotic American leader, President Trump,

00:37:24.580 which is the whole purpose of the big Catholics for Catholics, Catholics praying for Trump.

00:37:30.380 Let us pray for him now.

00:37:32.280 Let us pray for him every single day

00:37:34.200 to withstand the bludgeonings of the left and never give up,

00:37:43.760 to fall under the bludgeonings of the left and get back up again,

00:37:47.880 to rise above it all,

00:37:51.020 that he might come to see the fullness of the light of Christ

00:37:53.480 and then bring that light to the people of this country

00:37:58.300 and to the people of the world.

00:38:00.640 Let them follow you, Heavenly Father,

00:38:03.300 as one of your faithful sons and brother in Christ.

00:38:09.220 We ask for this conversion in the name of the Father,

00:38:11.520 and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

00:38:13.280 Amen.

00:38:13.740 Amen.

00:38:14.700 God bless you.

00:38:15.200 God bless you, my friend.

00:38:16.260 It is so good to see you again, always, as it always is.

00:38:19.120 You too.

00:38:20.080 Give us all your blessing too, if you will.

00:38:21.620 All right.

00:38:22.040 And the Lord be with you.

00:38:23.200 And with your spirit.

00:38:24.580 And through the intercession of St. Aloysius Gonzaga,

00:38:27.860 whose feast day was yesterday,

00:38:28.780 who at the age of 21 went amongst the people with the plague

00:38:33.220 and suffered and died as a consequence.

00:38:36.200 No, without fear, serve the people in the plague.

00:38:40.900 Let us also serve each other,

00:38:43.800 no matter what plague we face.

00:38:46.360 And through the intercession of the Holy Family,

00:38:48.380 Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

00:38:49.300 may Almighty God bless you all,

00:38:50.660 the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

00:38:53.720 Amen.

00:38:53.860 Amen.

00:38:55.620 And God bless you all.

00:38:56.740 And we'll see you next time.

00:39:26.740 And may God bless you.
