And we're live. Welcome back to the Loebcast. It's Tom, Erica, and Dr. Kevin Roberts,

president of Heritage, former president of Wyoming Catholic College. I believe that the term

Cowboy Catholic was given to at one point, which I can't lie, goes hard. Very cool.

Thank you for joining the show today. Oh, it's my pleasure. I am a longtime friend and advocate

for everything that you do.

It's a real honor to be with you. Thank you. And I got this off, so I think it's safe to make this. I did not tell Josh he had to replace himself with another bald guest. He did that himself. I didn't do it. There's only so many perfect heads, as he says all the time. And you have one. Yeah, I do. And it's one of the many, many reasons I love Josh Mercer is that we both compete for the best shine. Well, that sounds good. Well, the Loopcast is brought to you by the Loop, every American Catholic's favorite morning newsletter. I believe you read. Is this? Absolutely. In fact, my wife, most days when I get home, she said, well, did you see this in the loop?

And if for some reason I didn't get to it that morning because I was busy, I get scolded. She said, the most important thing you could read? No, I tell her that. And you think that I'm just being, you know, polite as a Southern or no, I'd mean that entirely. As she should, as she should.

Well, today's show, you wrote this excellent report,

Saving the American Family.

It's funny.

We were just talking about this week how we are refreshed by both Pope Leo and then continue to push the Trump administration to focus on the nuclear family. And I think, take this how you will. I'm a little skeptical sometimes of think tanks because they get a little wonky, They're a little bit dry and they talk about things I don't really care about. I could not believe reading through this report. I mean, I knew it was thick, but I saw Aristotle. I saw Cicero. I saw suggestions that I think people would have blushed at maybe even 10 years ago, 20 years ago. So I'm really excited to get your two cents on it. And of course, I mean, you were the author. So we're going to talk about that. We also have the Supreme Court decision coming up after, but potentially big decision on the future of women's sports and women's, I mean, just keeping men on women's sports. So I'm excited to hear from Eric on that. We also have some insider church news. And then finally, we got a piece from Politico about the Trump administration having to give

back some funding that has been making the round. So I have some context on that. We have Tom McCluskey,

a friend of the program as well. We have his two cents on that. But before we do, we have to get

into the reason we do the show today, Charity Mobile.
