Pleasure being joined by Congressman Riley Moore. He's representing the great state of West Virginia,

uh, and pretty Catholic from what I understand. Yes, that is true. Yes, very much so.

Awesome. I think you first came on my radar when you invited Bishop Barron to the state of the union.

I imagine that's probably a pretty good time. That was incredible for me.

Long time listener, first time asker, a bishop baron.

And, you know, he is kind of hard to put in words how instrumental he's been in deepening my faith, my's just my family in general um i mean he is

just a prolific evangelist in the catholic faith and so i didn't know at all um i've read his works

i listen to him all the time uh you know sund Sunday sermon, all that, you know, always has that great homily. You know, he puts it out a few days before Sunday, which is always nice. And also listen to everything, word on fire, all that stuff. So as you can tell, I'm a big fan. And so I just kind of shot in the dark, send an email, and, hey, I'm allowed to bring

a guest to the state of the union. Would Bishop Barron be interested? And so I just, we waited,

and somebody got back and said, yes, he'd love to. I'm like, oh my gosh, this is unbelievable.

Bishop Barron's coming. And it was just incredible for me. He's just such a large figure in

basically my every day. I mean, I'll wake up in the morning with the hallow app. He's reading

a psalm. You know, it's I hear his voice probably every day.

And so, yeah, it's, it was really incredible to be able to meet him, speak with him, and have him there at the state of the union.

And I think he had a great time.

He got to meet the speaker of the house.

And he was very popular.

There were members of Congress all over the place wanting to meet and talk with him.

And then he did celebrate a mass in the Capitol the day of the state of the union as, and it's actually the joint session of Congress

and thanks for the correction.

For the real political heads, yes.

Yes, yes, yes.
