Every American Catholic Favorite Morning Newsletter. We have a great show prepared for you today. Obama kind of came out of the shadows.

And I did a little context into his appearance. It became more interesting than I thought at first. And so it's a little bit of a taste into, I think, the revolution. And I think even larger point is kind of a cultural change of maybe what he

represented and how he sounds now. So looking forward to especially get Josh's thoughts on his

favorite president. And then we have a lot more we dive into. Erica is going to talk to us about

digital IDs in the UK, kind of crazy. Latisha James situation got a little bit more interesting over in New York. And of course, we do the Medal of Freedom Ceremony. It was very touching. We're going to go through some of the highlights there. But good news, Twilight Zone, you know, as we always do, it's going to be a great show. The reason we can do today's show, thank you to our sponsor, Avi Maria, Mutual Funds. Now more than ever, Catholics want to align their investments with their moral beliefs. And a great way to do this is by investing in the pro-life, pro-family mutual funds from Avin Rio. The Catholic, the professionals at Avin-Mria have a morally responsible investment philosophy that's aligned with Catholic teaching. In their search for attractive investments, they apply moral screens to eliminate companies that engage in support for abortion, pornography,

embryonic stem cell research, or that make corporate contributions to Planned Parenthood,

an advisory board composed of prominent Catholics meets regularly to guide the fund's choice

of moral criteria.

And since its founding in 2001, Avey Maria has become the largest Catholic mutual fund family in the United States and now manages over $3.8 billion in assets for Catholics and other
