O my God, I firmly believe
that you are one God in three divine Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I believe that your divine Son became man
and died for our sins and that he will come
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe these and all the truths
which the Holy Catholic Church teaches
because you have revealed them
who are eternal truth and wisdom,
who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
In this faith I intend to live and die.

Amen.

0:00.0	We're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom, Erica, and Josh. Fantastic Wednesday show prepared for you guys. The Loopcast brought you by Zeal. Ports, pray. News, shows. Everything you possibly need there puts on this podcast. Thank you, Zeal. Thank you to Catholic vote. Tom was talking about the weather. I'm so fired up on the weather. That was just, am I depressed or have I not seen the sun in a couple months? I don't know. I think I haven't seen the sun a couple months.
0:25.3	It was like 60 degrees. Then got up like 50 and took a walk. That was awesome.
0:30.9	Yeah, we're getting up 40 today. I'm like, this is great. Spring is coming. 40 degrees.
0:35.1	Still in the 20s here. Josh, that blue looks good on you is that uh is that a marion nod
0:42.0	you know it's also I mean it could be because today is the feast of our
0:47.4	lay or lords it's also that I had a birthday last week so thank new threads
0:51.2	oh some new threads wow I approve good good trips is that a gift from your wife? That's one of those. I'm going to get this for my birthday, all right. Okay. A gift from Van McClain. I do know about that one, yeah. I do know about that one. Hey, mine's coming up this weekend. I'm going to be 20. Oh, I hope not. I'll be somewhere in the late 20s.
1:13.2	I'll keep that vague. Okay, so show today, FIO article, I think it's almost at like 30 million
1:18.4	views on X, about AI. And it's interesting to me because the more I sit and think about I read
1:23.3	it, it, I've observed some of the phenomenon that this guy's talking about. This guy also works for a lot of
1:30.7	AI companies. So is he incentivized to make it seem bigger than it's going to be? Is it going to be
1:35.7	the next industrial revolution? I don't know. A lot of CEOs or high-place executives in AI companies
1:42.8	have resigned recently,
1:46.8	one decided to just take up poetry and live off grid.
1:49.4	So I don't know what that means for the future,
1:52.5	but we're going to get into all the different elements of that.
1:53.9	We also had a jobs report release, which I thought was interesting.
1:54.8	Some were saying it was going to get delayed because it was negative.
1:58.5	By my quick viewing, it doesn't seem like that,
2:00.5	but we're going to get into the breakdowns there, not negative.
2:03.1	That one.
2:04.0	The second one today, we have some real political implications now for the Labor Party in the UK. And Josh, I know you love parliamentary politics. But Kier Starmer really hanging on by a threat. And interestingly, I don't know if we caused it, the United States, but a lot of these Epstein disclosures actually have now led back and put him in a real scandalous position. Peter Mandelson, I have a little bit of information on Lord Peter Mandelson, the Royals, and how that intersects to what we recently saw from the Epstein files, which is going to be maybe the first of many scalps coming from those
