L.A. Marzulli, it's great to have you back here on Charisma.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,640
And today we're talking about one of the one of the topics that's one of your favorites.

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,520
And we haven't done an interview about this before. We've talked offline about it,

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:19,440
but it is the Shroud of Turin, which is where a lot of people kind of get their image of

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,840
who Jesus was, what he looked like. There we go. There's you've got that picture there.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:29,360
And you've done some great research on this for a while. Yeah. But there's some things that have

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,080
come out recently that is shining more light and more attention on this. Tell us about this Shroud

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,120
and the controversy behind it and what recently has come out. Well, first of all, thanks for having

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:48,480
me on. It's always good to be on your show and break bread as it were. But I was drawn to,

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,120
you know, I've been a Christian for 44 years. I was drawn to the Shroud immediately. I remember

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,200
becoming born against birth, Phil, and, you know, trotting down to the old Christian bookstore,

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,840
which that doesn't exist anymore for the most part. There are a few, but for the most part,

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,400
it's not like it was 44 years ago. And I was drawn into this one aisle. I'm just kind of

14
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,960
perusing and looking. And there's this book on the Shroud. I was like, I've never heard about the

15
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,280
Shroud. I was instantly drawn to it, got the book, read it in one sitting, believed it.

16
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,880
And since then, I'm sort of an amateur syndinologist. I'm a student of the Shroud.

17
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:32,000
The Shroud of Torum is a linen cloth with a herringbone weave that is three and a half feet

18
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:40,720
wide and about 13 and a half feet in length. It bears the image of a crucified man and rigor mortis.

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,560
And when you look at the scourging, it's breathtaking, and not in a good way.

20
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:58,640
I'm reading another book by John Jackson, who was one of the leading, really the leading

21
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,640
physicists with the Shroud of Torum Research Project team. We interviewed in our Watcher's

22
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:11,040
film, this is years ago, probably 12, 13, 14 years ago, whatever, we interviewed Dame Isabel

23
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Hickpicksec and Barry Schwartz. Barry Schwartz was the Shroud of Torum Research Project

24
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,080
photographer in 1978. So they had it for 120 hours. He was up for 110 of those hours.

25
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,720
He took thousands of pictures. We are licensing several of those pictures for our upcoming film

26
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:40,400
on the Shroud of Torum, but also the Holy Fire, which is a new film. And no one, I mean,

27
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,000
I'm just sitting there going like I'm blown away. So Barry Schwartz was the Shroud of Torum

28
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Research Project photographer. Barry Schwartz years ago talked about the carbon-14 dating.

29
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,720
And the way that worked was they were supposed to take the Shroud like this. And they had already

30
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,000
agreed on it. You just don't go, yeah, we'd like to take some carbon-14 dating. Can we come over?

31
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Oh, yeah, come over next Tuesday. This thing goes back and forth for like two or three years.

32
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,680
And then they come back and say, well, we're going to take this and we're going to put it in place.

33
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,200
This is what we're going to do. We're going to take three different samples of the Shroud,

34
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,040
and we're going to test them. So they get ready to do this. The team is over there. And

35
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,320
the guys in the black suits come walking in, stop the proceedings. About three or four hours later,

36
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,640
everybody goes back into the room where the Shroud is and go, you're going to take one

37
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,680
and you're going to take the other. So they did. And the carbon-14 dating came back in the 15th

38
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,160
century. Everybody's going, how can this possibly be? How can this possibly be? And we talk about

39
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:59,040
this in our upcoming film on the Shroud of Toran and the Holy Fire, which has been going on for

40
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,240
2,000 years. But that's a whole separate story. And we'll get into that later. But the Shroud of

41
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Toran bears this image, and this is what it looks like, a very faint image on this linen cloth of a

42
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,840
man in rigor mortis who has been beaten within an inch of his life. Look at the scourging. Notice

43
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,600
where the blood comes out. Let me get a pointer. Notice where the blood comes out here. It comes

44
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,960
out at the wrists. So a lot of people believe that the nails went through the palms. That's how we

45
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,080
know. That's not the way it came down. The nails came down like this through at an angle. It's

46
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:47,920
better to use a prop. It's kind of like that. Yeah, like this. So it comes out on the back of the wrist

47
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:55,840
is what happens. And he was, I mean, the whole idea of crucifixion in the first place is you're not

48
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,880
this number one, but the scourging is so, so brutal. The scourging is absolutely horrific.

49
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,400
And it's front and back. It's like no Gibson portrayed when they got done scourging his back,

50
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,840
they flipped him over. So he's like losing blood. He's in shock. And now the image that you were

51
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,960
just showing there before we go any further, just to kind of explain what that is. So you have a

52
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,640
photographic image of what you would see if you were standing in front of the shroud of Turin in

53
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,480
Turin, Italy, I believe. Correct. The church of John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. Is that correct

54
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:39,520
where it is? Yeah, it's in, yes. Yeah. And on the reverse side of that that you've been showing is

55
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,080
the negative image where things really start to stand out. And the way this happened was,

56
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,040
and this is, and we'll get into why the carbon 14 dating was skewed because it was absolutely

57
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,840
skewed. We'll get into that in just a bit. So this is what it looks like. So in 1898, the Vatican,

58
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Turin, Italy, whatever, they hire Secundapia to take a picture of the shroud. So Secundapia

59
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:12,320
gets his big box camera with the glass plates, right? This isn't your iPhone 15, okay? This is

60
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:20,480
a whole different deal. And he takes all these pictures of the shroud. And he wants to see,

61
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:29,600
his first plate is a headshot of the face. He's in his dark room, and he's got the glass plate,

62
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,280
which is a negative. It's a negative. So it's not like, and people, unless you're a student of

63
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:41,680
photography, you might not be sure what I'm talking about. And before the advent of digital

64
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,960
photography, you would take a picture, which would be a negative. And that negative image,

65
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,640
then you would take and create a positive image of it. That's how it worked. So Secundapia takes a

66
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:59,920
picture of this, of the headshot. He's in his dark room with the glass plate, and he's trying to get

67
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,160
it, you know, he's getting it ready. And he looks at the glass plate, and this is what he sees.

68
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Wow. It's a positive image on the shroud. There is no way that that's a forgery. Absolutely not.

69
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,880
And the Shroud of Torren research project in 1978 proved, in my opinion, beyond a shadow of a doubt,

70
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,160
that there's absolutely no pain on it at all. This is not a painting. It's not a painting.

71
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Because the image on the shroud falls off into nothing. And it's a frontal and dorsal image

72
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:38,000
of the man, of the crucified man, which in itself, how does that work? So the body is placed in a

73
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:46,640
tomb on a linen cloth, and then it's wrapped over him. He's not wrapped up in it yet, because

74
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,160
they're going to come back and anoint the body with spices, which is why, you know, people had

75
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,440
this whole thing, wow, you know, and I always go, why don't you just go to shroud.com and spend an

76
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,520
hour there? Because you've obviously never studied it. So you have no idea what you're talking about.

77
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:08,480
Spend an hour, and then we'll talk if you're not convinced. So the body is laying in the tomb

78
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,000
for three days. And it's in a state of rigor mortis, as you can see here plainly, a state of rigor

79
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:22,240
mortis. And what happens, this is where Dame Isabel Piksic, who was a internationally renowned

80
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,840
muralist, her paintings hang in the Vatican. This is why she says it's not a painting. It's not,

81
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,800
it's not, it's not. There's no paint on the shroud. There's little dabs of it, but it's not a painting.

82
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,480
It's something else. And she's also a particle physicist. So it's like, yeah,

83
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,480
particle physicist, that's a combination right there. She's got, you know, world class muralist,

84
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,040
particle physicist, and using both sides of the brain for sure. Absolutely. We walk into her

85
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:55,680
studio, and I'm like this. She's deceased now. Richard and I did 11 films together. Richard passed

86
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,640
away a few years ago. And now my new business partner, Gills Immerman, and I have done 10 films

87
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,400
on the whole UFO phenomena together. And we're working on the Shroud of Torrid and the Holy Fire

88
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,480
together. We're in post-production, but I digress. So we walk into Dame Isabel Piksic, and she begins

89
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:18,320
to talk about the singularity. She believes, as I do, that the body, that time and space as we know

90
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:26,480
it stopped. The body was levitated off the slab. And I've got to be careful here, because I can

91
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:35,920
lose it, and I'll start crying. Father God embraces the body, so time and space stops. What is the

92
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:44,240
first thing if a father goes—and I got this from a fireman. Mike, I don't remember his last name.

93
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,600
It was 15 years ago. First name is Mike. And if you're watching this, thank you. But he told me

94
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:57,600
that where a fatality in an automobile accident or something like that, and the father and mother

95
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,840
come, the first thing that the parents do is go over to the body and embrace the child. And so

96
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:10,800
they bring them up to them like this. And I think that's what Father God did. So space-time stops.

97
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:19,040
The father embraces his son. The body is levitated off the slab. The shroud is pulled completely

98
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:27,200
taut, and then the body dematerializes in infinite points of light. Conjecture. But that's what we

99
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,000
think happened. That's what we think happened. And then he comes out of the tomb, which is

100
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,600
interesting here, is that his body is in the tomb, but his soul and his spirit go down to

101
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,280
where? Tartarus, and preach to the fallen angels there to seed-worn. This is why Genesis 3.15 is so

102
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:52,480
absolutely paramount in our study. So Jesus—and I just got this because we spent time at a Greek

103
00:10:52,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Orthodox church interviewing a priest about the Holy Fire and also the shroud. You'll see a lot

104
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,920
of icons in Greek Orthodoxy where Jesus is like this, you know, holding up His hand like this.

105
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:16,000
What this is, it's Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, fully man, fully God. No, I'm sorry,

106
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,480
fully God, fully man. And the circle that it creates is perfection.

107
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:30,400
So that's what that symbol means. That's what that symbol means. It's been around for like 2000 years.

108
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Wow. This is what they would do. This is like—because you couldn't talk about it,

109
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,720
especially 2000 years ago. You couldn't openly talk about it. So they would go like this,

110
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,160
and they all knew what they were saying. Yeah. So, Eli, let's talk about the shroud again. So

111
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,920
the last time we kind of talked about it from a scientific aspect, you said that it was

112
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:03,760
carbon-14 dated back to the 15th century. What changed about that? There was a controversy

113
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600
about that because it was just one spot as opposed to three. Tell me about what happened.

114
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Well, the scientists recently just came out with this, but we've known about it for a while.

115
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,520
So the team is only allowed to take a sample from one place, and it skews the whole deal.

116
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,800
So enter Joe Marino, who we interviewed for our film. And I got to tell you a little backstory.

117
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:33,680
Something very serendipitous happened with my interview with Joe. I hadn't connected the dots

118
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:42,320
from 15 years prior, where I interviewed his wife and Joe on my show. But I'd forgotten

119
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:49,120
whose people were. His wife passed away. Joe Marino was a monk in a monastery, but he was

120
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,960
drawn to the shroud just like I was, just drawn to the shroud. So he's in a monastery, and he goes

121
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:02,640
online, and he meets this woman online who is a syndontologist, an amateur syndontologist. And

122
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,160
they strike up this relationship. One thing leads to another. Joe leaves the monastery

123
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:15,440
and marries her, right? Unbelievable. So they're looking at all this going like,

124
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,880
there's no way. Something's wrong here. So they start doing research.

125
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,120
When the fire happened, and you can see here, this is from, these marks here are from the fire.

126
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:34,960
OK. And down here, too. You can see the marks. They are from the fire, here and here, from the

127
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,440
fire. So the shroud was in a fire at some point. In the 15th century, the shroud was in a fire.

128
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,720
So the poor sisters of Claire go in, and they begin to repair the shroud and do end-to-end

129
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:53,600
splicing. It's called invisible reweaving. OK. And they dye the cotton fibers to look like the

130
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,640
linen fibers, and it's end-to-end splicing. You can't see it with the naked eye. That's how

131
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:06,800
incredible it is. So they know this. So they write a paper. And the paper states that the

132
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:14,320
Carbon 14 Damien was skewed because of the 15th century reweaving by the poor sisters of Claire.

133
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:22,080
So one of the shroud research project members had samples of the shroud, of the actual cloth,

134
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,600
down in his laboratory. He goes, well, I can debunk this in five minutes. So he goes down.

135
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640
He just happened to have that? Yeah. Well, he was part of the team.

136
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:38,240
So he was allowed to take it. And yeah, go figure, right? So he goes down, and he looks at his slides,

137
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:44,560
and sure enough, and some of these were pictures also. And he looks at this, and he goes, oh, my

138
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,320
gosh, they're right, end-to-end splicing. So they write a paper about this. That becomes international

139
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,400
news. And everyone is kind of going like, oh, my gosh. Barry Schwartz comes on the record

140
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,720
in our film, In the Watchers series. And it was something like, and Richard, God bless him, man,

141
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,520
he was just amazing. He knew that something was happening. Click, he's rolling, man. He's rolling.

142
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:15,680
And Barry Schwartz is laying down this story. And I just gave you the backstory. When they were going

143
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,680
to take the samples, the men in the suits come in. And I only think of one. So anyway, when the 15th

144
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:28,400
century carbon-14 dating report, or when the carbon-14 dating report came out from the linen

145
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,200
from the shroud, and it skewed it and said, 15th century, it's a forgery. Everybody can go home.

146
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:40,320
No, no. There was a million pound reward given to the university for proving that the shroud was a

147
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:49,360
fake. Really? Yep. That's documented. That's in our film. And Barry says, you know, no harm, no foul,

148
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:55,920
but there seems to be some skullduggery going on here. And I've also come up against that skullduggery.

149
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:03,280
These people play for keeps. They don't want to know that Jesus was alive, that Jesus is the Savior,

150
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,240
that He hung on the cross, that discouraging was incredibly brutal, that He rose again three days,

151
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,200
that He is the Savior, the hero of all mankind. They don't want to know that. And so they keep

152
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:19,280
stuff like this out. So this new article that just came out, you can look at the date, and you can

153
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,200
and let me just read it. 2024. Yeah. A team of scientists analyzing the shroud of Turin,

154
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,840
a large piece of cloth believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, have determined

155
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:36,800
that the shroud does indeed date back to the time of Jesus's life. So what's really cool about this

156
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:44,640
is now we've got, once again, forensic evidence that this is real. They've never been able to

157
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,720
duplicate. With all due respect to Joe Nicol and Joe, I love you, man, but when you tried to reduce

158
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,640
the shroud, it didn't look anything like it. But you gave it a try, and I got to give you two thumbs

159
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,640
up for that. You tried to debunk it, but you couldn't. This artifact is the most studied

160
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:08,880
artifact on the entire planet. It is. I mean, it's studied more than any other artifact on planet

161
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Earth, and I call it God's calling card because that's what it is. It's forensic proof of the

162
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,800
most important event in all of history, because no one saw the crucifixion. The dragon, the enemy,

163
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,520
Satan, didn't understand the crucifixion. So he's figuring, well, he's going to come down,

164
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,920
he'll heal himself for all the wounds, and we'll all go home at the end of the day. He didn't

165
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,440
understand. Nobody got it. Mary didn't get it. John the apostle, they're at the feet of the cross.

166
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,840
They don't get it either. They're figuring, well, he's got to come down soon. He'll heal himself,

167
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,120
just like he healed the lepers and the blind men. He'll just transform, and he'll come down,

168
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:51,040
and we'll go about our business. No, it doesn't happen that way. And that's what the dragon never

169
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:57,040
thought. How can you kill God? Mary's going, well, we can't kill God, can you? And that's why he's

170
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,400
fully God and fully man. Fully God, fully man, which is absolutely mind-boggling when you think

171
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:09,680
about it. And that's where he separates. Just like if I died, God forbid, today, my body would—I'm

172
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,720
not getting cremated—my body would go back into the earth. My soul and my spirit, what does Paul

173
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,880
tell us? To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I'd be with the Lord in

174
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,360
paradise, but I don't get my resurrected body till the rapture of the church happens. And then it's

175
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:29,760
like, whee! Now I'm in a glorified body. And how cool is that? So Jesus comes back. He goes down.

176
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,080
First, He goes down to Tartarus, and He preaches to the fallen angels in gloomy dungeons—and that's

177
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,120
a three-hour discussion—that you're not getting out. There is no jailbreak. I've got the keys

178
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:46,000
right here. Game over, checkmate, it's over. Then He goes back, He resurrects. And one of my favorite

179
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,440
passages in the whole Bible is the upper room where the apostles are huddled, and they're all

180
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,160
totally freaked out. You know, we're next, we're all going to die. And, you know, it's like we've got…

181
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,440
people don't understand the humor in the Bible. And by the way, folks, you can get this incredible

182
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,240
mug I'm holding by going to lemarzulli.com. But I…

183
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,320
That is your favorite, or one of your calling cards.

184
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Absolutely. That I digress.

185
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,120
I love it.

186
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:19,440
Yeah. So anyway, hold on. Ellie, that's so unprofessional. Thank you. So the gentle Jesus,

187
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,000
the one with the lamb on his shoulders, you know, high on Jesus, and I'm really gentle and kind.

188
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Now, He's always goofing on the apostles, always, always, always, always. That's part of His job

189
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,320
description. You know, keep them out of their comfort zones. And the humor here is this.

190
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:44,400
So the gentle Jesus would do, hey, guys, I know you're all gathered up in the upper room. It's me.

191
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,600
I don't want to alarm you, but I have risen from the dead now. So I'm going to come in. I'm not a

192
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,520
ghost. Everything's totally cool. Okay? Take a deep breath. I'm going to count to three, and then

193
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,080
I'm going to come in. I'm going to open the door slowly. I'm going to show you the piercing. And so

194
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,280
you know it's me, but just trust me here, okay? So He opens the door really slowly, and He shows

195
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:13,120
His hand. No, that's not what happens at all. He comes through the wall. Ta-da! It's just like…

196
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:19,760
I mean, it's just unbelievable. And the apostles are, ah, a ghost! Oh my God! What am I going to

197
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,000
do? Ah! They're totally freaked out. If that's not humorous, I don't know what is. I mean,

198
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,040
it's like a college prank in a way. I mean, it really is. It's just hysterical. And they touch

199
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,160
Him, and they feel Him, and they go, my gosh, it's you! And the wounds are there and the whole deal.

200
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,720
I don't believe His body bears the scars of the flagellation. I don't believe that.

201
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,440
But I don't know, because I haven't seen Him. You know, that would be something to carry around

202
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,280
for eternity. Could He show them to us? Yeah, He could, you know. But…

203
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,320
But we do know that the wrists and the side…

204
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,600
The side and the neck…

205
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,160
…are there.

206
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:04,080
…is Thomas. Yeah, He shows Thomas that. So, and then He does the most guy thing He could possibly

207
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:13,680
do. It's a total guy thing. Hey, guys, you got anything to eat? You know, it's such an incredible

208
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,040
moment. I mean, I'm hungry after a three-day fast, too. So…

209
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Yeah, it's like a three-day fast. I'm really hungry.

210
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,200
Yeah. So, now they've taken a second look at this, and they've said that this is now,

211
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:34,560
like, it's now conclusive that it is from the time of Jesus, and it is showing, depicting a crucified

212
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:42,320
man with what appears to be piercings around his forehead, around on his wrists, and his side.

213
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,120
It really seems to be pointing to this is Jesus. At the very least, it is another person that was

214
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:57,120
crucified, but then somehow there's no other body there. There's no evidence of decaying bodies.

215
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:03,280
Because that leads to other things there. I remember somebody saying, and maybe it was you

216
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:12,800
in a previous conversation, where during the atomic bomb, Hiroshima, as that energy went out,

217
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,760
as that bomb went out, there's actually shadows that have been permanently…

218
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,520
On the wall. …on the walls.

219
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,160
Is something like that how we got this image? Yeah, we believe, and this is where it gets into

220
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,960
our film, The Holy Fire, which will be available coming to you, but probably end of September,

221
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,960
October sometime. So, we had this on film. So, here's the backstory. The Holy Fire has been

222
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:46,880
going on for 1700 years. And there's testimony that Peter saw it also. And the Holy Fire would

223
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,640
appear on the slab where Jesus lay, and it undulates. It's this bluish-white flame.

224
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,040
Okay, so all you skeptics out there, let's walk through this. Moses in the burning bush that

225
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:06,160
doesn't burn? What's that? You tell me. The pillar of flame that leads the Israelites through the

226
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,960
desert? What's that? What about the tongues of fire appearing over the apostles' heads? What's that?

227
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:21,200
Right? And we don't know. What if it's cold plasma? What if the Holy Spirit,

228
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,240
what if the Holy Spirit, that's, you know, when He manifests, that's how He…I'm just saying,

229
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:35,760
I don't know. So, the Holy Fire has been appearing in Jerusalem for 2000 years. But when the Romans

230
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:44,640
came down and wiped out the temple in AD 70, it's still there. But in 125, 130, in that window of

231
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,160
time, the Barakoshpa revolt, the Romans came in, that's it, we're done, no Jews are allowed in the

232
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,120
city. They kill everybody, throw everybody out of the city. They build the Temple of Venus over

233
00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:01,200
Calvary. They build the Temple of Venus over Calvary and the Temple of Jupiter on the Temple

234
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:09,120
Mount, a matter of historical record. It sits like that from 125 to about 300. Enter Constantine,

235
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:16,480
Christianity becomes the state religion, state number one, and then his mother Helena goes down

236
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,000
and she goes, where was Calvary? Well, the locals all know. The people who were there, they all know.

237
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Now, some people go, well, they didn't want to tell her where it was. Well, the Romans knew where

238
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,400
it was. They built the Temple of Venus right over Calvary. So, they completely deconstruct the Temple

239
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:42,080
of Venus. They find Calvary, and below it, here, is where the tomb is. They find all this, okay?

240
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:48,400
From that point in time, every single year, including when the Muslims controlled Jerusalem,

241
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,960
the Holy Fires appeared. Now, this is important because this is to your point,

242
00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,400
to the point where the Muslims tore down the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but the flame

243
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,760
appeared over the slab the next year. When the Christians got it, they rebuilt the thing,

244
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,000
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Muslims took control of it again, and the Holy Sepulcher

245
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,520
the Holy Fire would come down to the roof of the Basilica like a dove, looking like a dove,

246
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:23,200
and light the lamps, and all the Muslims would convert to Christianity. So, the Calvary goes,

247
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,800
well, this isn't going to work for us. So, they pull out all the wicks, the cotton wicks, and insert

248
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,200
lead where the wicks would be. So, the Holy Fire comes down, lights all the lamps anyway. So,

249
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,520
then the Calvary goes, put them all out. Holy Fire comes back down again, lights them again.

250
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,640
The third time, he goes, that's it. We don't know what this is, but it's not a trick. So,

251
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:52,480
it's been going on for 1700 years. And originally, the eticule is the building that surrounds

252
00:25:52,480 --> 00:26:01,760
the slab where the body lay. That's the eticule. So, we had this on film. So,

253
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Giulio Fanti, who we interviewed, goes to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and he gets

254
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:13,120
on his candles, he gets the Holy Fire. He has a piece of linen like this,

255
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:21,120
all right, and below it are two candles. Let me see if I can try to make this work. So,

256
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:29,120
one candle is here, and it is a normal candle, and he lights it. The other candle, he lights with the

257
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:35,120
Holy Fire. So, this candle is just a lighter, takes a cigarette lighter and lights it. This candle is

258
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:42,800
the Holy Fire. The one here with the normal fire burns right through the paper. Fire here

259
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:51,440
just scorches it, just scorches it. And so, we think this is why our film is so important.

260
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:58,960
We think the Holy Fire is the mechanism that creates the image on the shroud, because this

261
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:06,240
is what it looks like when you take the Holy Fire with linen, two candles, one candle burns

262
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:14,880
right through the linen. Holy Fire scorches it like this. I know, I know, and it's a mixed bag,

263
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,320
and people, ah, it sounds like a power trick to me. And it's like the naysayers are always there

264
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:28,000
to tell you where you're going wrong. But why, think about this, the Church, evangelicals,

265
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,600
we haven't heard of, I never heard of the Holy Fire until about four or five months ago.

266
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,280
And now we're doing a film. The Lord completely redirected our steps. We were supposed to be

267
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,280
across the pond filming for Ametreo of Anephilene. The Lord goes, I didn't tell you to go there.

268
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:48,960
Okay, sorry, we're not going over there. And now we're doing a film on the Shroud of Turin

269
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,160
and the Holy Fire. Wow. Yeah. That's fascinating. God's ordering our steps.

270
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,280
I love how the Lord is ordering your steps, and they're not the normal steps that most people

271
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:07,520
are told to take. God tells you often to make a documentary about this thing that people aren't

272
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:15,760
going to believe, but do it anyway, because, yeah. And that's, LA, your next book, The Rungs of

273
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:24,400
Disclosure, talks about so many things that are unfolding in front of us right now. There's

274
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:32,080
supernatural alien manifestations happening all over the place. And we're seeing those pop up more

275
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:38,720
and more, even around different historic events. I mean, I've heard reports of, even at the

276
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,920
attempted Trump assassination, that there were orbs and things flying around there.

277
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,280
There's been other things that have been happening in Israel recently. Tell us what's been happening

278
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:56,640
with this Rungs of Disclosure. Well, first of all, we signed with Charisma, and we are absolutely

279
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,160
delighted and excited to be part of the Charisma team. We're glad to have you. We're glad to have

280
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:09,680
you. Well, some of this is because of you. Let's give credit where credit is due. And I know that

281
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:15,680
when we reprinted Amitra of the Nephilim books, the leftover books were being stolen out of

282
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:24,240
Spring Pages offices. So anyway, this is the Lord's doing, and we're excited about it. But

283
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,720
one of the last rungs of Disclosure is where David Grush, who's a whistleblower, is before

284
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:39,600
the congressional hearings on UAPs, UFOs. And Nancy Mace, who is the congresswoman from South

285
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:46,000
Carolina, is questioning Grush about this. And she says, well, what about, do we actually have

286
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,360
crashed craft in our possession? And he goes, yes, we have crashed craft in our possession.

287
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,920
And then her follow-up question is, well, were there bodies retrieved from the U.S.

288
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,920
Army? Were there bodies retrieved from the crashed craft?

289
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Crashed craft, stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?

290
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,680
He's kind of dancing around the question a little bit.

291
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,400
As I've stated publicly already in my News Nation interview, biologics came with some of these

292
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:22,160
recoveries. Yeah. And he says, yes, bodies were retrieved. Then she follows up with the, you know,

293
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:28,640
the coup de Gracie. She goes... Were they, I guess, human or non-human biologics?

294
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,040
And then she goes, no, we don't have that. She's just saying that it's just a

295
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,560
personal assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to that

296
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:43,200
are currently still on the program. So all this, all this, because we're in the last days,

297
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:50,320
because 1948, Israel becomes a nation, Roswell happens in 47, the atomic bomb happens in 45,

298
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,000
Roswell happens in 47, Israel in 48, and then the whole UFO thing begins to version where the

299
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,800
UFOs go through the roof, including the flyby over Washington, DC, including Barry Thomas's book,

300
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:08,720
the Nephilim Return to Israel. I mean, they are obsessed with nukes because I think that that's

301
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,640
their trigger. I'm not going to give away the end of the book, but that's the very last chapter in

302
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,240
the book. It's also the last chapter in our film, you know, nine and 10, and then our ongoing UFO

303
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:25,120
series. And this is an interactive book. We have a site, which is not up yet. It's rungsofdisclosure.com.

304
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,400
And we're going to put a link to it in the book. So when you go there, if there are updates,

305
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:37,760
the updates will be there. But when, let's say the footnotes in chapter one, guess what? You go to

306
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:44,240
rungs of disclosure, here are the footnotes. Oh, here's the clip LA is talking about. We're giving

307
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,160
out to the folks. They can really understand what, because this ain't going away. I mean, right now

308
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:56,160
UFOs are pushed to the side. And of course, with the assassination, let me just say one thing about

309
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:03,120
that. Don't you folks find it amazing that they cremated the body 10 days later? So were there any

310
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:10,080
paraffin tests done on the body? I mean, seriously, this is a controlled narrative. If you don't think

311
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,600
so, you're sleeping, you know, then believe what you want to believe. But this is unbelievable.

312
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:24,640
It's unbelievable. Yeah. So the more we get closer to the end of time, we're seeing more and more of

313
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:32,880
these extraterrestrial and not being from another planet, so much another dimension, interdimensional

314
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:40,160
interdimensional beings. We're seeing all of these things come out in more frequency. I mean, all over

315
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:47,280
the internet, I'm seeing it showing up. And it's like, these don't look like just fake AI generated

316
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,080
things. These are people talking about it. And now there are definitely some fake ones out there.

317
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Oh, absolutely. Sure. And anytime that I see one, I normally am texting it to you like, hey,

318
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,240
what do you think about this? What do you think about this? Because you've been in this for so

319
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:08,000
long, where you are looking for the truth amongst all this craziness. Help us to kind of, in the

320
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,800
couple minutes we have left here, help us just to kind of understand what do we need to do about

321
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:18,320
this? Yes, things are being disclosed, but what is our response? Our response is we have to have a

322
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Christian perspective, because every Friday night on the Ancient Alien series, and God bless those

323
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,440
guys, you know, it's one of the longest running television shows, your kids and your grandkids

324
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,800
watch that. So they've been indoctrinated. They believe we've been visited by extraterrestrials.

325
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Take a step further, guys like Richard Dawkins, one of the premier evolutionists of the 20s and

326
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:44,000
21st centuries, will state on the record that he believes, and we showed this in Ben Stein's movie,

327
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,480
Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed. When Stein sits down with Dawkins, where do you think life came

328
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,640
from? And Dawkins is saying, well, it could have happened this way. You know, in a galaxy far, far

329
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:59,280
away, a race of extraterrestrials who had to evolve by some Darwinian process, you know, created us

330
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:04,960
here. And that's called panspermia. So that's what the neo-Darwinists were looking for, that we were

331
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:12,000
seated here. And we have to, I've, look, I'm pushing back. That's why the book, that's why the films.

332
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,600
We're coming from a Christian perspective all the time. We have not been visited by extraterrestrials.

333
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:25,840
We have been visited by interdimensional entities that have a very extremely nefarious agenda. It's

334
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,280
the mixing of the seed. Daniel 2.43 says, their seed will mingle with the seed of men, but they

335
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,600
will not cleave to him. Who are they? Well, it's not human beings. Their seed will mingle with the

336
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,800
seed of men. And no cleaving. I got this from my friend and author, Jim Williamson. The word cleave

337
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,960
is the same word we get way back in Genesis. A man will leave his father and member cleaved to his

338
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,120
wife. There is no marriage contract. These nefarious entities just take what they want. They just grab

339
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,760
the women. They take ovum from them or they impregnate them. They take a sperm from the men.

340
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,400
And when we go, why would God allow this? And my retort to that, well, why does God allow us which?

341
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:06,240
We are under the thumb of the prince of this world right now. And that is why the king is coming back.

342
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:10,560
I'm not a date setter, but I think it's next Wednesday. Of course, I'm saying that tongue in

343
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:17,520
cheek, but it's, and I hope it is next Wednesday. I really do. Cause you can't fix this anymore.

344
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,560
And we need to stand up and push back against the prevailing narrative. And the coming great

345
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,640
deception is already all around us. Ancient Aliens and other shows, there's a new book,

346
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,360
I won't tell you the name of the author. I won't disparage him. I'm in the process of reading it.

347
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:39,760
But this guy is a Greek scholar and he's rewriting the Bible. He's trying to tell us that,

348
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,600
well, the Bible that we're reading was rewritten so many times. Well, I've heard this argument a

349
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,560
million times before, but what about the Dead Sea Scrolls? I mean, it was that rewritten 2000 years

350
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,600
ago. Why is the book of Isaiah in the shrine of the book where the whole thing is unwrapped?

351
00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:01,280
Because there's no difference between that 2200 years ago than what we have today. So the scribes,

352
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,680
I mean, it's a straw man argument in some sense. And I've just started getting into this,

353
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:14,160
but what's at stake here where he goes with this is Elohim. I've heard this a gazillion times,

354
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:21,280
the Elohim. Well, these are the gods. This is plural. These are aliens. Oh my gosh!

355
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,040
And that's where they go. It's just like the Anunnaki. Well, you know, the Anunnaki,

356
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,320
the Sumerians are well before Moses and the whole crew. I get that. God allows all this stuff to

357
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:36,000
happen. And then he acts. He brings in Mo and Aaron, two of the three stooges, because that's

358
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:41,920
who they are. I mean, you know, Moses goes, I'm a man of like and barely talk here. And Aaron's got

359
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,560
the goofy staff. I really shouldn't say goofy, because I'd love to have a staff like, sorry,

360
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Lord. I mean, a staff like that would be really cool to have, you know, messing with me.

361
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,760
You just changed my picturing of the Exodus story completely. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

362
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:05,600
I know. I mean, in some ways it really is. And I mean, that with all due respect, because Moses

363
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:14,080
is just favored by God. But, you know, Moses is a murderer. He's an adopted baby, grows up in Pharaoh's

364
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:19,680
house. And then he's a murderer. He kills the Egyptian guy and runs off. And he's a sheep herder.

365
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,120
Gee, you know, why do you think he's tending sheep for 30 years? It's like, guess what you're

366
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,720
going to be doing. I mean, Moses is an amazing, amazing human being, but he's flawed just like

367
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:37,120
all of us. I don't worship Moses. I worship Jesus. Moses is pretty amazing though, because he gets,

368
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,440
you know, to see God face to face in the whole deal. And the Ten Commandments, I mean, you know,

369
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:47,440
it's like, he's way up here. And who appears to Jesus? Moses and Elijah. So, you know, it's like,

370
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:53,120
wow, Moses was, but, you know, he's broken, just like all the point I'm trying to make is Moses is

371
00:37:53,120 --> 00:38:00,320
broken. He's just a human being. He's flawed. And God uses flawed human beings, you know,

372
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:06,240
to further his kingdom. And a flawed human being goes, I'm not doing this. He's doing this, which

373
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:11,600
is why it's everything that we do, our films, the books, it's all the Lord's leading. I mean,

374
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:17,040
I never thought I'd be doing this at 73 years old. Are you kidding me? I should be playing shuffleboard

375
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:23,200
in Miami someplace. Just joking. That's funny. So, LA, as we're wrapping up here,

376
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,240
we're looking forward to the book, The Rungs of Disclosure, coming out very soon. And we'll do

377
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:36,400
another in-depth interview about that for sure. But as we're closing here, would you just wrap

378
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:42,720
us up in prayer? Father, we thank you for your word. We thank you for Jesus. We thank you that

379
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:51,600
new information on the shroud has come out. And Lord, we just, I believe it's your calling

380
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,840
card. It's the fingerprints of a supernatural. And we just thank you for your sacrifice.

381
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:03,520
I look at the scourging and it's a real shock to the system. It's so brutal and so barbaric.

382
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:13,440
And yet, like a lamp to the slaughter, you just, in some ways, Lord, I still don't get it. I really

383
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,640
don't. I have a severity of it. But that's what you did for all of us. And I just ask that people

384
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,640
who are watching this, that think they know who you are, but don't have a personal relationship

385
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,320
with you are. They don't have a personal relationship with you, then they don't know

386
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,720
who you are. And I would pray that they would just consider inviting you, Lord Jesus, into their

387
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:37,120
life. And it's so simple. All they have to do is just go, Lord, I'm a sinner. Come in and change

388
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,760
my life. I believe that you rose from the dead. That's it. If it was any more difficult, human

389
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,960
beings wouldn't be able to do it. So we thank you for John and Charisma. We just pray a blessing

390
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,040
over them and the book that's coming out. And I pray it would change people's lives and Jesus

391
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,360
' name. Amen. Amen. L.A. Marsoli, thank you so much for joining us today.

392
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:21,680
I'll bless you, John. Always, always a pleasure. Always an honor.
