Brett kicks off the program talking about the value of space exploration, arguing that investing in space doesn't take away from Earth but can actually improve life here. The show quickly shifts gears into a fiery critique of the Democratic Party, accusing it of prioritizing illegal immigration and radical campus activism over core American values. Brett references Senator Chris Van Hollen, claiming he's aligning with criminal groups like MS-13 and even joking about future lobbying for terrorist organizations. He slams elite universities like Harvard and Yale, calling them failed institutions corrupted by extremism.

Later in the show, we're joined by Father Bill Nicholas from Corpus Christi Church in Evansville, Indiana to discuss the significance of Holy Thursday and the beginning of the Easter Triduum.

Brett and Father Bill reflect on the emotional impact of Good Friday, especially the symbolic absence of Christ in the empty tabernacle.
