And we're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom, Erica and Josh. The Loopcast, of course,

is brought to you by the Loop. Every American Catholic's favorite morning newsletter.

I would just like to make a brief statement about the range that we have in this show.

Someone said they will listen to this live while preparing their homeschooling classroom for the

last year. And someone also said they'll be listening to it while playing the video game

Hell Divers 2, which can any other show claim that both are happening at the same time?

And I have no idea what that means.

I actually do.

No, this is the best part is because I actually do know what it is.

And it's hilarious because people are saying, oh, it's military propaganda. It is a parody. It's kind of like, I forget the movie it was

based upon, but yes, it's almost like over the top propaganda. They're like, ha, ha, look how

satirical this is. And then everyone's like, oh, wait, actually, not like it, but you love it. Anyway, this show's the best.

What will we be covering today?

So some pretty unprecedented action going on in California from the bishop.

They dispensed the Sunday mass obligation for fear of ice raids.

And so we have the decree itself from the bishop.

We have more context on the raids that maybe sparked to this.

And then I actually told my producer to go be a liberal for about a half hour and provide me for the opposite perspective

because we want to test metal and metal here. I'm, you know, I think that just makes everything better.

That will be going on. We have a new bishop appointed in Washington. Of course, liberals were quick

to claim him. That may not be as clear of a picture, but we're going to go through that as well. I discovered that the American economy is propped up upon poisoning its citizens and then healing them at great cost. And if that stops, we're in big trouble. So healthcare is the number one employer in about 39 states now. A really shocking New York Times article revealed that to me.

We have good news.
