I'm English, and believe this might be one of the world's greatest writings.

We are English by God, Law and custom

It is besides the Bible

Thank you I love the British

Magna carta is the most successful and on going pieces.of Wrighting to exist.

There is no more patriotic thing than listening to this on July 4th.

Bless America 🇺🇸

I'm doin that right now

… while watching an American flag waving in the sunset

Listening to this on 4th of July while shooting guns eating bacon and drinking a nice cold beer

I'd argue Fighting for what was written is more patriotic

I’m in tears. Exactly what’s happening now!! When will the people wake up?? I pray it’s not too late🙏🏽🇺🇸

Sadly we've only got two options left: Bend the knee. Fight this in every way. Choice is yours.

It’s never too late. If freedom is held by anyone, even one, it exits. It is a personal choice- not a gift from other people.

I consider this to be one of the greatest documents ever penned by mortals. Its inspiration is nothing short of that unquenchable flame of human dignity, conscience and morality that our Creator uniquely set us apart with as the crowning work of His creation. May God, the Father of lights, bless the great United States of America; may peace and justice ever reign in this land of the free and home of the brave, and to Jehovah, God Almighty, be the glory for ever and ever. 🇺🇸

Every word is carefully weighed in the Declaration. You can feel both the despair in the words and the determination to fight. And, is is just me or does McLean's voice makes you feel like you are there, listening to the Declaration being read live? So goosebumpy!

Here, here!

I'm American and I don't mean to sound biased but this piece of literature is hands down one of the greatest document ever written, truly a masterpiece in its own right.

This is the greatest F off in history

@Victor H: Why do you want to avoid sounding biased? EVERYONE IS BIASED. The very fact that we have judgements, choices, & preferences means that we ALL have biases. It is innately human. The trick is to avoid problematic biases based on something other than clear & rational thinking that is respectful of other’s God given rights as well as your own.

You ain’t write no new shit? I wrote this shit with a feather 😆

I'm from Canada and our government is turning radical and hearing this makes the hair on my neck stands much love and respect to my American Brothers I hope this is the future for all nations

Thanks for the comradely sentiment neighbor. But here we stand some two and a half centuries later embroiled in turmoil. Though this time the adversary doesn't lie across the ocean. Whatever may come of this strife I hope we can maintain those unalienable rights and make those adversaries our allies as we have managed to do in the past.

@Kaiden9226 ⚔️🇺🇲⚔️🇨🇦⚔️DEUS VULT ✝️

Strong together 💪🇺🇸🇨🇦

"we mutually pledge to each other OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR." That is commitment.. and courage, to go against the world's greatest power of the time... knowing they'd most definitely would perish if this revolution failed.

It sure was! I feel that we are going in the same direction as our forefathers did. There are many out there willing to do the same as well.

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

The most beautiful document ever written. I have seen it with my own eyes. My God they were brilliant.

This is probably one of the magnificent text of writing, most meaningful, impactful, and significant in the last 500 years. Amazing! Truly a wordsmith of the highest regard

Well said, I couldn't agree more

I'm not american, but I believe this writing didnt just change The United States but the world at large. It gives me goosebumps.

Thank you

My fellow American Patriots, our time to rise is coming, be vigilant and stand by.

@Christiane Schroll Now it may be that it Will come to this (a Real Shooting Civil War), not there yet. But remember those 3 options. I spend a lot of time on social media/reading articles about this.It appears to me that there are those who seem excited/eager (both sides) for war.

@Steven Wiederholt Freedom isn’t free, and if we have to die to preserve our freedom…then so be it. We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again. Period.

Silence is a Tyrant, and Tyrants Fall to , and from The Freedom of Speech. Let Freedom Speak

@PUNISHERMHS 2021 My friend, not that I disagree with you. Because it may become necessary, let me say this "There are 3 things that can happen when you throw the football. 2 of them are bad." Darrell Royal There are 3 things that can happen when you institute a Civil War. 2 of them a bad. 1. You Win. 2. You Lose 3. The war goes on and on and on, until people forget the reasons why.

@PUNISHERMHS 2021 you and me both

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Thomas Jefferson He would be rolling in his grave if he saw us now.

Absolutely amazing. The men who signed this document should never be forgotten as their bravery and courage started what all Americans have today.

You mean you shouldnt forget the French which is the only reason america was freed?

We will never give up. I love my country.

God bless you brother

“The greatest break-up letter in the history of the world” is how my constitution teacher puts it!

That's what Americans think

I call it our "Writ of Divorcement". And when the boyfriend/husband got a copy he said, "how dare that ungrateful servant witch?" and brought his friends to hunt down those you alienated her affection of him and to capture her for the dungeon. Well, that didn't work out so well now did it? But history also shows that the defeated husband didn't give up but merely changed his tactics. America's independent "lady" was beset with gossip and lies about her and many who once loved her began to question her inner beauty and virtues. Lured away be deception, she was abandoned over time and other mistresses took her place. But she's still the same, beautiful, virtuous heroine, worth of good men to love and adore!

i remember i did this in hs

well shes sorta right

Letter of treason. First page of a 3 paged document. Not such a simple letter no. It is directions and clarification of citizen behavior under tyranny of government. To call it a break up letter lessens the value of the document. To see it less then direction and instruction will only lead to a civilians demise. Notice within what is said countless of times. "The rights" to do so. Powers granted much as what the constitution and the bill of rights establish. Treat it as such.

I listen to a recitation of the the declaration every 4th of July, and every damn year I tear up. The constitution may be the greatest governmental document ever, but this, this is by far the greatest founding document ever written. It's good to be reminded from time to time that the revolution was not simply over taxes and tea, but over the all consuming tyranny that was the brittish crown. Many in this country would like to see us returned to the days of being told what we can own, and what we can believe, we must resist this at all costs. Idealy every American would start their 4th of July by listening to the Declaration of Independence, as a reminder of what tyranny we were fighting, but sadly the people who should hear it the most will never find their way here to listen to it.

As an American, the pride I feel when I’m listening to this is something I haven’t felt for a long time. The Declaration of Independence is one of the most influential documents in recent human history, it inspired so many revolutions and the creations of so many democracies.

The greatest most courageous document ever written. What great men. What great weight they carried. What great conviction they had. At all cost.

Maybe I'm not American, but everytime when I listen to this, I get goosebumps on my whole body!

If they would have followed the writings of our Creator, they would have needed this document.

You should Read Obama's new book "a More perfect union"

Every American should be required to listen to this in 2021

every politician should have to write this multiple times a year and define each paragraph so when they make there unconstitutional laws that can be reminded to what they swore to uphold

Thankyou I agree 110 percent

I agree ☝️

That would be against the first amendment

Thank you for this timely post. I cry every time I hear it, because it did indeed cost many of the signers their lives, and their fortunes. Never their honor though, and we desecrate their memory, and deeds by tolerating the evils inhabiting what they fought so hard to establish. It's time for a second American Revolution.

There are 3 documents that changed the entire course of human history. The Magna Carta, the Declaration of independence, and the constitution of the united states.

Dont forget the bill of rights

That and the deceleration of unconditional surrender of the empire of Japan ending ww2

Yep, absolutely no other notable document

Happy Independence Day folks. Today should be the day where we forget our political feuds amongst ourselves and embrace the fact that we are all patriotic Americans. We should celebrate the fact that the American experiment has lasted for 245 years. We have survived the onslaught of the British Empire, a bitter Civil War over slavery, two terrifying World Wars, half a century of Soviet aggression, and will probably survive the economic might of the Chinese regime. Rest assured, fellow compatriots, that no matter what, through thick and thin, issues both foreign and domestic, we shall continue to prevail over our adversaries. Our country has been able to move mountains even now with our bitter division between Democrats and Republicans, so imagine how much more we could do if we stood together as the UNITED States of America. Frankly, I'm glad to be an American despite all of our problems, and I hope that you are too. God bless America.

"When in the course of Human Events it becomes necessary ......" I believe it has now become "necessary." It is our right....it is our duty....to throw off such government.

@F15CEagle He will, at the time of his choosing.

Maranatha. R 22 7, 20

Yes. It's the time.

AMEN 🕊️✝️🇺🇸🦅 IT'S TIME , FOR A REVULSION ,1776🇺🇸💯 A CALL TO ACTION 👁️🚨👁️ BROTHER,S AND SISTERS, OF FREEDOM 🇺🇸🦅 UNITED AS ONE UNSTOPPABLE PEOPLE 🇺🇸

You will have nothing and be happy. They are starting the great rest. Do what you can to protect yourself and your family. Stack gold silver lead brass food and water. GOOD LUCK TRUE PATRIOTS.

I live in Scotland and I can't help but shed a tear while hearing this. This must have been divinely inspired. It sounds like what Saint Paul would have written

To: Ben Gardner-That is a very moving sentiment. From: Douglas Ball, American

Jefferson was a literary genius.

Thank you I was born in the colonies NH I love Scotland and the Scottish people

They were partly inspired by the Declaration of Arbroath.

And we still support and praise Lord William Wallace!!

To my brother and sisters we need to engrave this in our memories🇺🇸🗽

True that!

I love listening to this every independence day! Such an incredible document.....absolute brilliance 🇺🇸. Happy Fourth, all!

🇺🇸

Inspiring! Poignant. Stirs the soul to remembrance.

This needs to be taught in school in grade school Jr high and high school so people don't forget what makes this country great

Americans should be required to memorize this!!!!

This Great Nation adopted me as one of Her sons and I am so very grateful for Her generosity... My only wish, that others who have migrated here from around the world would declare the same sentiment... I pray the newly adopted become more than just "Americanized" but Patriotic Americans. Till my last breath, I will protect Her integrity... In addition, "Protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic". To emphasize, "From my cold, dead hands"! Thank you for your time... More importantly, thank you to all those who have sacrificed and who will stand up for the Greatest Nation on this planet, Fred C.

@Piero Montemaggiore Schreiber you too brother!

@Offical King Krab that is nice to know! Take care brother!

@Piero Montemaggiore Schreiber I’m doing good! Thank you!

@Offical King Krab apologize me for the dilation in my answer. Thank you brother. And I hope you’re okay!

@Piero Montemaggiore Schreiber amen 🙏 ✝️

Hearing these words now shows just how far we have fallen as a nation and a people. I love this country but it just breaks my heart to see the turmoil and the lack of respect for those who fought against tyranny and oppression.

Everyone should take the time to listen and hear this on this Fourth of July 🇺🇸

Another thing all Americans need to read is the story about the men who signed this document and what happened to them..

This needs to be heeded by our present governments: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." Look around you and take note.

Excellent reading. I did not realize that it was so long in reading - I have read but never had an elapsed timer in lower right corner. Thank you for publishing this recording rendition.

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" - this is one of the greatest documents ever written, yet what it is trying to say has still not gotten through to the government

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" should apply to all people; not only immigrants from Europe but also immigrants from Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Cuba, etc.

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

@Cat Cici * Ok, thanks! That's a great idea. It's a positive!

Literally brought tears to my eyes. 🩹🔥♥️ Heal my fellow Americans. Let’s heal this United States 🇺🇸. For liberty and union for all of the whole of United States and the rest of this world. All people.

I wish Canada had something so meaningful. Thank you for sharing.

Inspiring. A declaration for our present times. To break free from the tyranny present throughout the world.

Many who live within the United States of America truly don't understand why this is the greatest country on this planet. It is easy to take this for granted when you are so comfortable, and live with luxury you don't even realize is present.

Well this aged poorly...

So beautiful and powerful. Gives me chills. Great job 👍

I have a tradition that started in 2015 that I listen to this every Fourth of July. It’s now 2022 and I believe everyone needs to hear this over and over again

Every American should know this by heart.

Sadly alot could not tell you anything about it..sad

I am quite literally playing this on a loudspeaker as fireworks are going off. We need to remember this ALWAYS.

LEGEND

Question The Messenger I am the messenger, and bearer of news, on a stream line of media. Furthermore the press, print, the black an white in small print, under everything. The lemon law and voice to the buyer, and sign of beware. The foresight and fortune, the insight and weather condition. I bring you the news, the music and harmony, the swing tempo and tone, broad stream. Broadcasting in sol, solar waves, wind and flares, like micro ovens I'm cooking it up, turning you on-to, an in, in to me. I raise the temperature and heat , set the time and prepare for the essence for you to eat. I bear all you can eat, the past, present and future right before your eyes, touching your sol being, through the media line and stream of charged atomic particles in ten-ten wins over nine-one-one frequencies.

The seven eleven pit stop you gas up at and the dopamine you fill with caffeine, seven -twenty-three days and hours a week. It's where you arrive and depart in the twilight on the seven-eleven. (You see ) I spill the truth and make a living telling it, I'm rich with justice, laying it over your shoulders while you bear the guilt and weight. An I'm eye witness, morning and late night news, the twilight and channel to the after life.

Hell yeah brother!!!

This document is needed now more than ever - 2020

@Taino Rosario example please

Its even more prevalent now unfortunately.

This is an amazing reading. Absolutely beautiful.

I've listened to this 100 times, and each time I find something new to be so humbled by. I cry for the millions of men who died because of this document. Their memories are accumulated & their life experiences are so important, so impactful and imperative to the growth of mankind, moreso than the discovery/control of fire. May every signature on that document be forever respected & loved.

I listen to this everyday at least 4 times a day.gives me goosebumps everytime.

This never ceases to be relevant.

As a Canadian (British born) I cherish the very idea of America and what the Declaration of Independence embodies. Very beautiful presentation. Stirs the heart and inspires. Thank you.

Thank you🇺🇸

@George Libya can't

@Twilight Paranormal Research why can you not handle Obama's beautiful face and body

@Happiness97 you made me throw up in my mouth a little saying that

You should Read Obama's new book "a More perfect union"

I'm not an American ( I wish I was) this is the greatest declaration in the history of mankind, America is really one of the greatest country in world, USA is a role model and inspiration for whole mankind and all countries (put aside foreign politics) all respect to those all people since Mayflower landed in east coast, men, women their descandants who made and built America, its culture and society. Respect to those all people who put their bravery, efforts, hard work, sweat and tears made America, because of them today USA is the greatest country in world.

Respect..👍 wish more you see how you understand put politics aside..thanks

Patriots: always remember....History always repeats itself. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! NOT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!!!

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

this document is so damn good! god bless America, and happy independence day, everyone! (2021)

A masterpiece that rings true for all time.

True that!

We should reissue this to our own government today, as a reminder of where we came from and where we will go with or without them...

Could you imagine being there in 1776, seeing a large group of people gathered while one person stood above everyone else and read this? To feel the impact of these words, to know thier truth, and to know that next comes war. To hear the whispers and outcry of the people gathered around you from your neighbors of either excitement, fear or both. What would you do? Knowing that the war was coming to you rather than you going off to it and knowing that this would change everything. I only wish those people who doubted leaving the king could see what this country has become and the effect it had on other countries.

Did We the People forget this? Americans need to read and study this.Its time for right action for our country and it's people.May God Preside over us all.🕊️🇺🇲❤️

Just spent a long weekend with my grand nephew. During the visit, the family walked thru several museums looking at old documents wrote in script (long hand). My grand nephew needed held reading..he's a straight A student.. If he can't read our early documents..how can he know our real history. All he gets it whats approved by school boards or states. Luckily he is a avid reader/researcher and has looked up what he thought he needed to read. Smart Kid and old 15 years old. Always checks both sides of reported facts.

Damn, this resonates loud in 2020 when we are witnessing exactly what the forefathers warned us about.

The founding, fathers.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

@Suzie Smith not just red states. I'm in a blue state. I'm with you

Asian American here (but really I’m just an American), this is absolutely beautiful. I will always proud to be an American. Liberty and freedom will live forever!

🇺🇸

I remember this in school and we had a play and had to recite some of this Declaration of Independence! I throughly enjoyed hearing this again to remind me of a country in trouble with a tyrant who wishes to wipe the country off the face of the earth 🌍 this country should be free and Independent of any other country! Free UKRAIN 🌼🇺🇦🌼

I think it’s interesting how it says “these independent states” as in originally the US was a loose confederation. And the Declaration of Independence was really a mutual declaration by the 13 colonies.

They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for liberty. The least we can do is put our careers and livelihoods on the line to say no to a medical treatment forced upon us against our will.

Best wishes from Ireland to the good Patriots of America 🇮🇪🇺🇲🇮🇪🇺🇲🇮🇪🇺🇲

Thank you. Remind the Irish it wasn’t the ships of the British that brought corn, wheat, and doctors during the famine… it was the United States. Many Americans provided financial support to the Irish during the Easter rising and Irish War of Independence.

All my grandparents were from Ireland. ERIN GO BRAGH!🇺🇸🇮🇪

@Soap Baker hmm yes accurate

This brought tears to my eyes wow so powerful

"it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security" is such a powerful line. Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do and make sure you set yourself up to continue to do so. Integrity and honor is the core of what sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom and is what makes us human. Without it we are just really smart animals.

Lots of America’s have never read this and it shows

Such powerful words.

This is not only one the greatest documents ever written, it is the true essence of the human condition that every person on earth ultimately has a God given right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. America is is just not a country but it is a divine idea for all other nations to follow and provide for their citizens.

Yet they do exactly as what's described to the letter, history indeed repeats itself

Excellent, makes me proud to serve in the US Army! 🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day 1776 to 2021!

Silence is a Tyrant, and Tyrants Fall to , and from The Freedom of Speech. Let Freedom Speak

It's very sad. A lot of what our government has become is what our establishment sought out to correct. Every senator and House member should be required to listen to this once a year.

being a MARINE veteran, a citizen of the united states, when i heard this read to me here, i started to cry, seeing what is happening to my country right now 2021, almost every word that is written an spoken is what really is happening now, our democrat government is england, biden is the so called king, seeing the words, is what we are going threw and need independence from.

''We'' need to play this write this spraypaint this speak this shout this teach this copy and distribute this to everyone every chance we get make Americans remember

@J S We needed to leave. If we didn't leave now we never were gonna leave. The overwhelming majority of the American people are tired of wasting their money on this when it would be better spent on our people, infrastructure and new energy.

Semper Fi.

Considered one of the most remarkable documents in history, particularly in regard to government and human affairs and the next logical step in democracy after the Magna Carta... and some people click the dislike? If you did, you really don't understand history. Not that I find that surprising if you went to public school in the U.S. Other countries teach more U.S. history and it's significance - including the history of Native American tribes - then the U.S. schools do. Let's not challenge people to learn and think.... It's July 4th 2021. Every TV station should be playing this a couple times during the day..

It was such a beautiful day when I saw this first read in independents hall. In fact I remember it like it was yesterday.

You should Read Obama's new book "a More perfect union". It'll bring you to tears, so much better than this outdated stuff

I listen to this when I need to be reminded of who I am and where I came from. I’m a liberal. I’m “woke.” I’m also a patriot. I am indebted to my brothers and sisters in the United States and I’m proud of where I call home. I won’t suffer being told otherwise.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS NOW. It seems like everyone has forgotten our past.

@Vincent Spiller Sr. Yeah the past not the present like other countries.

A past of slavery and oppression

Yahoo a past of saber and oppression

I agree. Though many have forgotten long ago. We all need to wake up because our country is changing fast and not for the better.

We spent a week on the Declaration in my 5th grade class. My children had a few paragraphs in their American history books but they had a Mom who shared her week 😉

Truly, a divinely inspired declaration against tyranny! It still holds good to this day!

Look up what happened to the founding fathers after this. Many of them lost everything they had, and became wanted dead or alive. Some of the bravest men in history.

Let us thank every man who signed this document. We owe our lives to them who risked theirs for us. Thomas Jefferson who used most of his time for the very words we read. From New Jersey my ancestor John Hart signed this. I will forever honor you great grandpa Hart! 9:38

We need this now more than ever 🗽🇺🇸🙏

We're working on it give it time

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

Silence is a Tyrant, and Tyrants Fall to , and from The Freedom of Speech. Let Freedom Speak

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

@kay hicks Let the other guys side do that part.

Such an amazing oration. Either 500 people hit the wrong botton, or someone does not see the beauty, nor the universal principles set within.

This is soooo well read.

Reading the Declaration is not enough. People should hear it read with such honest and heartfelt dignity, to really understand how the Founders truly felt as they embarked on such an Immense Endeavor. Each pledging everything they were to the will of the people they represented. Thank You for posting this.

This videos ought to be watched and listened to every Fourth of July

Undoubtedly one of the greatest documents in human history

Hard to believe nowadays but in our high school government class circa 1968 we had to read study and write a report on this most important document. Also we read and memorized the pre amble of the Constitution of the United States of America. We had one semester covering the Constitution.

You should also post George Washington's farewell address at the end of his second term. Circa 1796. Yale University has it posted online.

Beautiful, Just Beautifully Written.

I wonder how many Americans actually know this document? It’s telling us what to do! I hope people actually do what it says it’s our Right and our duty.

When Tyranny becomes Law Rebellion becomes Duty

LOCK AND LOAD, SEMPER FI 😎 MARINE 🇺🇸🦅 WAIT NO LONGER, BROTHER,S 🇺🇸 WE THE PEOPLE 🇺🇸 MUST, MAKE A STAND AGAINST THESE, TYRANTS

Unfortunately they probably threw this out of the curriculum to make room for the Critical Race Theory that is being taught now.

@Big T doing great. The comedy show really begins. The Dems are supposedly in power, this should be a joke for 4 years. But, I fear that poor Joe isn’t gonna make it. Poor guy.

@John Kunz brother you’re in denial, you’re not doing great

Excellent video, only one minor thing the music played over the voice so it was hard to hear the voice sometimes. The declaration of Independence should be required reading for every politician and person that occupies political office including our current president Joe Biden.

I am as we speak have my children studying this and I will be talking with them about our constitution. My children will know and carry the knowledge and true history of America on their journey through life.

Amazing reading. Music is awesome and fitting but a little too loud and tends to overpower the voice a little bit. Overall, awesome vid. Happy Independence Day.

Every American needs to hear this today more than ever. It’s time to restore American pride and patriotism. God bless the U.S.A.

Chills every time. It truly moves me. Truth, purpose, reasons why they throw off tyranny, and willing to give their lives for freedom, freedom that's threatened now.

You will have nothing and be happy. They are starting the great rest. Do what you can to protect yourself and your family. Stack gold silver lead brass food and water. GOOD LUCK TRUE PATRIOTS.

You should Read Obama's new book "a More perfect union"

As moving n inspirational our declaration is...pity the founding fathers left out jefferson's passage about slavery

The most respectful and professional reading of the Declaration of Independence I have yet found. Listen solemnly. Happy Independence Day!!! I call it our "Writ of Divorcement". And when the boyfriend/husband got a copy he said, "how dare that ungrateful servant witch?" and brought his friends to hunt down those you alienated her affection of him and to capture her for the dungeon. Well, that didn't work out so well now did it? But history also shows that the defeated husband didn't give up but merely changed his tactics. America's independent "lady" was beset with gossip and lies about her and many who once loved her began to question her inner beauty and virtues. Lured away be deception, she was abandoned over time and other mistresses took her place. But she's still the same, beautiful, virtuous heroine, worth of good men to love and adore! https://youtu.be/4uE-tqe0xsQ

as i listen to this tears form in my eyes knowing the exact thing these men fought and died to abolish is happening in office as we speak. it sickens me that we as the american people put up with this tyranny. together we stand divided we fall. dont let them push us apart as together were to strong to be defeated

This is MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW THEN ANY TIME IN RECENT HISTORY.
