Daily Prayer for America 250
By Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth,
I place today my nation, the United States of America,
into Your Heart pierced for love of us.
On the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,
I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift,
and that our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God.
Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas,
and through the intercession of her Immaculate Heart,
bless my homeland anew,
purify her from sin,
and guide her leaders in truth, justice, and peace,
so that she may safeguard all human life,
respect the integrity of marriage and the family,
and honor the practice of religion.
Reign in my home and in my nation.
Draw every heart into communion with You,
that Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may triumph
in America and throughout the world.
Amen.

| 0:06.0 | Lots going on. Very high profile primary results came in from Kentucky 04. Thomas Massey was defeated by Ed Gowryne. |
| 0:14.4 | The most expensive house primary race in history. I think the spending was about 30 million marks. |
| 0:20.5 | Crazy. So we have all results there. But then also we have some of the smaller history. I think the spending was about the 30 million marks. Crazy. |
| 0:21.7 | So we have all results there. But then also we have some of the smaller elections. I know |
| 0:24.9 | Josh, you had some things that we were tracking from CV were actually involved in. So going to |
| 0:29.2 | give you the full picture on what we were involved in, what people were talking about and some of |
| 0:32.7 | the ramifications of this larger proxy fight. The second being, there was a slush fund that was talked about a lot. |
| 0:38.2 | That was really confusing. |
| 0:40.0 | And it was funds going to people that the government was weaponized against, but procured |
| 0:45.0 | a really interesting means. |
| 0:46.0 | So we did a little bit of the research on that. |
| 0:47.5 | I saw that covered all over the place. |
| 0:48.8 | Just wanted to get to the bottom of it. |
| 0:50.6 | Third one, we have graduation speech time. |
| 0:53.4 | We had our very own Brian Birch, give a great |
| 0:56.5 | graduation speech to the students at Thomas Aquinas out in California. And then Kelsey |
| 1:00.8 | Reinhart, president, our very own, spoke at Wyoming Catholic College, which was excellent. |
| 1:05.9 | On the flip side, we had the most passionate booze reserved for people saying use AI. So we have those |
| 1:13.4 | paired with maybe why people are booing that. There's large layoffs at meta, tons of spending |
| 1:19.2 | on Google on AI. So we have a lot of that for you as well. But of course, we have good news. |
| 1:23.9 | We have Twilight Zone. Everything you can expect from the good old Loopcast. It's going to be great. Before we get into that, though, got to thank our sponsor today, Charity Mobile.
