WP_Query Showing Restricted Posts

I am querying and filtering my posts using 2 custom taxonomies. What I discovered today is the posts that I have restricted from non-logged-in display are having their posts titles show up in my wp_query. How do I query my posts to exclude the posts that I have restricted to be only available to logged in users. On a positive note when I click the permalink of the queried title it does redirect to the login but I don’t even want the posts to be visible unless the user is logged in. Thank You!

function country_product_query(array $country_terms, $operator1, $product_terms, $operator2) {
	
	if ($operator1 === null) {
        $operator1 = 'IN';
    }
	if ($operator2 === null) {
        $operator2 = 'IN';
    }
	
$term = get_term_by('slug', $product_terms, 'product_categories');
$term_name = $term->name;  
	
$args = array(
	// Arguments for your query.
	'post_type' => array('post', 'page'),
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'tax_query' => array(
		'relation' => 'AND',
		array (
			'taxonomy' => 'locations',
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => $country_terms,
			'include_children' => false,
			'operator' => $operator1
		),
		array (
			'taxonomy' => 'product_categories',
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => $product_terms,
			'include_children' => false,
			'operator' => $operator2
		)
	)
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {


	
	echo '<strong>' . $term_name . '</strong>';
	echo '<ul>';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
		the_title( '<li><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></li>' );
    }
	echo '</ul>';
    wp_reset_postdata();
		

}
}
