Schwartz Investment Counsel, Inc., a registered investment adviser established in 1980, serves as investment adviser for Ave Maria Mutual Funds. The Adviser invests in securities only if they meet the Funds’ investment and religious requirements, and as such, the returns may be lower or higher than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations. The Funds’ method of security selection may or may not be successful and the Funds may underperform or outperform the stock market as a whole. All mutual funds are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. The Funds’ investments in small and mid-capitalization companies could experience greater volatility than investments in large-capitalization companies. AVEWX invests in foreign securities and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations. Investments in these securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and withholding or other taxes. AVEFX invests primarily in fixed income securities and as a result the Fund is also subject to the followings risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, credit rating risk, prepayment and extension risk and liquidity risk. AVEAX and AVERX are classified as non-diversified and may therefore invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers than funds that are diversified. At times, the Funds may overweight a position in a particular issuer or emphasize investment in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors, which may cause their share prices to be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence affecting an issuer than funds that are more widely diversified. The issuers that the Funds may emphasize will vary from time to time. Request a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing. The prospectus can be obtained by calling 1–866–283–6274 or it can be viewed at www.avemariafunds.com. Distributed by Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC.

| 0:00.0 | And we're live. Welcome back to the Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. The Loopcast brought to you by the Loop every American Catholic's favorite morning newsletter. Good Monday morning to everyone in the chat. We have Thanksgiving coming up this week. It's going to be great. Josh, you have Thanksgiving officianto. What qualifies you as the Thanksgiving officiato of this show? |
| 0:19.6 | I am a big, long-time advocate of Thanksgiving. And I have to say, |
| 0:24.7 | there was a movement about six or seven years ago to open up retail stores like Target and Walmart |
| 0:32.0 | on Thanksgiving. And I had no problem being that guy, shaming my friends who thought about going and did go shopping on Thanksgiving Day. |
| 0:40.5 | Like, no, this is a very important day. |
| 0:42.8 | It is secularly sacred, right? |
| 0:44.9 | It is a feast day for our country. |
| 0:47.3 | Dude, you just can't force people to work on a day like this. |
| 0:50.5 | If they have to be a nurse or something like that, that's a different story. |
| 0:53.8 | But it's a great day. It is a fantastic day. I love Thanksgiving Day. And I don't want it smashed. And Christmas, all that Christmas, I love Christmas, dude. I love that it's a long time. And I don't have a problem with Christmas songs in Advent. But on the other side of Thanksgiving, bro. Let's let Thanksgiving cook. Amen. |
| 1:11.9 | Yeah, I think that was my saddest thing. |
| 1:13.5 | We got out of Halloween today. Pray for Candice Owens. Whoa, we're already in the chat. They liked the title there, POGO. All right, listen. It's in my twilight zone. Like, let's just get this out there. Like, we'll get, okay. So summary of today's show, we'll get into that really quick. |
| 1:26.2 | First, up top, we look like there's a potential peace plan for Ukraine on the horizon. |
| 1:29.4 | Now, Josh is really not interested in foreign policy for some reason and was really complaining big time that we're covering it. Erica is a great foreign policy analyst for this show. It is interesting. It is the big war of our time right now in terms of death toll. If we could get some progress on that's great. There's been a lot of interesting movement on that front. Josh, hold your tongue. Second, we have Trump Corner. So Trump had his infamous meeting with Mamdani. What did you call him, the little communist? Not what I expected. Not what I expected in the slightest. Marjorie Taylor Green stepped down. we're going to talk about implications on what that means for Congress, what that means for her future ambitions. |
| 2:04.3 | It was pretty surprising to me. I'm going to cover that. And then also we had some really tragic events happening in Nigeria over the weekend. And President Trump has spoken really strongly in that. So consider that the Trump corner for today. Then we have good news. And Twilight Zone. as I said, Candace's in the Twilight Zone. I mean, |
| 2:18.5 | 38 million views on her post is just, you have to talk about it. People were talking about it at a wedding table I was at, people that are not really that online. So I was like, okay, it's time to talk. First, I heard of it 10 minutes ago. Great, Josh. Pretty much. Happy to educate you on what's going on. Before we get into that |
| 2:33.3 | today, though, the reason we do today's show |
| 2:35.3 | is Ave Maria Mutual Funds. |
| 2:37.5 | Thank you to AVE. happy to educate you on what's going on. Before we get into that today, though, the reason we do today's show is Ave Maria Mutual |
| 2:37.0 | Funds. |
