And we're live. Welcome back to the Loopcast, brought to by The Loop,

every Catholic's favorite morning newsletter. I am joined here by Josh and Erica.

It was quite a weekend for America.

We had the No Kings protests. We had the Flag Day military parade,

and Pope Leo was celebrated in White Sox Stadium.

Now, I was actually at the White Sox event and I will say fantastic.

I was a little bit nervous as to the Chicago protests.

I will say the protesters I did see walking by the stadium were some of the least threatening

individuals I've ever seen.

So I'm not sure. Good news. It didn't seem like Chicago got crazy. But the goal with today's

episode, yeah, at least on the south side, the goal of today's episode, I want to just give a wrap

up of the no king's protest broadly. What was the purpose? What was the magnitude, as we can tell

now. And I would like to give

an accurate portrayal of the Trump Flag Day military celebration, also birthday celebration.

I'm just shocked at like both sides of all the different stories being spawned about both,

just the best of our estimation here at the loop cast, what went down, and then a little bit of

recap of the Pope Leo celebration and where I was during that. And of course, you get the Twilight

Zone. Of course, you get the good news. So what we do here on the Loebcast. So before that, Erica.
