We begin by recapping our weekends and John shares about visiting Washington D.C.

We reflect on Pope Francis’s life.

John offers papal trivia and last week’s trivia answer which Tim actually knew.

We discuss the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia. John sees it as a political move to test limits. Both of us acknowledge the President’s scope in international affairs and also want due process and the rule of law respected.

John and Tim discuss whether international terrorists also deserve due process.

John’s whack-job should have stayed a Fox News contributor.

Tim’s heroes organized to help a community business.
