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

brought to you by the Loop every American Catholic's favorite morning newsletter. We have a great

show prepared for you today. If you're curious, Gavin Newsom's running. And there's a couple

things that he has done. Running from responsibility. Accountability. Yeah, the Catholic

governor of the largest state in the union is definitely gearing up for a run.

So we have a couple of those statements we're going to get into today.

And I'm actually just curious to run some of them by Josh for the smell test because he is so reliable in that regard.

I also have the education department is finally going through with some cuts. So we're going to

get into exactly what's going on there. We are finally defunding NPR it looks like, which is

exciting and overdue. We have good news, of course. And yes, we do get into Jake the Rizbot,

which has been my personal hobby horse for the last day. So that's going to be great. But before we get into all of that, thank you guys for joining us live here 11 a.m. Eastern Time on YouTube, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And for those who are tuning in via podcast, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, leave us a review. It helps out a ton. And we're able to do today's show because of Charity Mobile. So guys, look, not more than ever. It's important to buy

the way you believe and do business with companies who support what you stand for. And that's why

you should switch your cell phone service to Charity Mobile, the Pro Life cell phone company.

They send 5% of your monthly plan price to the pro-life pro-family charity of your choice

at no extra cost to you. And unlike some mobile carriers that resort to

gimmicks to retain customers, Charity Mobile doesn't do three-year price locks because they have

never raised their mobile plan prices in their 30-year history and all plans start under $50

before taxes and surcharges. You can save even more money on every line you add, making them a

perfect choice for families also.

New customers can use promo code Loopcast to get a free phone with every new line, plus free

activation and shipping, or you can bring your own compatible devices.

You'll enjoy the same nationwide coverage as the big guys and their live customer service
