I'm live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving and happy Advent. It is the beginning of Advent. Before I get into some of my Advent questions, the show today will be as follows. First, we were talking about top storing the loop today. Trump sending out a threat over Venezuelan airspace, over true social. I'm not sure where that constitutes. It's violates international law. Can you do that? We're going to get in all the details on that. The fight with Venezuela has been going on for probably about 30 years. I'll give you a brief history, but we have a lot of military. Right there on the coast, I see one in three chance of potentially going to war. So we're going to be covering that. The second one was, I'm not sure we missed it over Thanksgiving.

There was a really tragic attack. Two National Guardsmen from West Virginia were attacked in D.C.

And so we have the status of the victims of the attack, the suspect, and then potential action from the Trump administration after that.

So we're going to be covering all angles of that. And the third is, I think we can reveal at this time,

we have someone on the ground in Lebanon with Pope Leo. So Pope Leo is on his first trip,

first international trip. He was in Turkey. He is now in Lebanon. Literally right now, we're getting,

She like a glowing video of all these people just clamoring super loud outside. Very exciting. So we're going to get into Poplio's trip. What it means. And you know, the ortho bros might be in trouble here.

I know. Unity is coming potentially.

I don't know.

There's a lot going on here. So it's going to be a great show. Good news, Wild Zone, of course, as always. But before we get into that, Advent, are there any Advent traditions you guys are on that I should be on? I'm not sure. I'm kind of new to the game as a young family. Well, Erica probably has a few more ideas on this than I would.

But the only thing I would remind people about is that, you know, as the whole world gets into secular Christmas mode and doing lots of Christmas songs, don't be a scrooge and yell at people for doing the Christmas songs. That's what gets them happy. It's still advertising for Jesus and his nativity.

You know,

just to try to center the conversation.

Well,

unless it's last Christmas by when.

Yeah,

exactly.

But at least try to,

you know,

steer the conversation in a more productive way.

But like,
