Patrick opens the hour  with a candid examination of faith colliding with immigration debates, propelled by a caller unsettled by a partisan homily. Throughout the hour, Patrick voices critical questions about the Church’s policies, voices from listeners who share raw accounts of their own immigrant journeys, and sharp disagreements about media coverage and government accountability. Clips from past presidents spark reflection as Patrick lays bare the tension swirling in parish life and challenges all sides to reckon with justice, reform and unity.

 
Terry - I live in St. Paul diocese. I went to a mass where the priest talked about dictators and kings. I thought this disrupted the congregation. I almost didn’t go up for communion. Do you have any thoughts? (00:37)
Audio from Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden on the necessity of illegal immigration enforcement (11:39)
Michael - Is there a program at Church available to help women who have been divorced? (18:47)
Jose - Patrick I disagree. There were a lot of people protesting inhumane conditions. This is not true. (20:58)
Audio: Legal immigrant is enraged because people think she should have compassion on illegals who cheated the system - “you think that my taxpayer money that I work so hard for, my salary gets cut, you think that money should go to people who cheated the system and are here illegally being a criminal?! you think I should pay for their healthcare? are you out of your mind?!” - https://x.com/TONYxTWO/status/1973889822793069055 (26:03)
Erik - The people in Minnesota supporting violence are Marxists and same as those involved in Cristero War and they are trying to destroy the Catholic Church. (29:15)
Danny - I work in the Mexican Community who say that ICE doesn't detain them for that long and they are not as afraid as the news is making it out to be. News media is putting too much a magnifying glass on this. (35:31)
Griselda - Everybody wants legal immigration. People are being pulled off the streets, and this is why people are angry. (38:42)
Julia - I am a legal immigrant, and I have seen the struggle with the process. This is why I think we need reform. It is hard even for native English speakers. (46:45)
