This week, an unusual disagreement broke out between the president of the United States and Pope Leo XIV. The New York Times Rome bureau chief, Motoko Rich, explains why President Trump cares so much about what the pope thinks, and why it matters that they are so deeply at odds. Guest: Motoko Rich, the Rome bureau chief leading coverage of Italy, the Vatican and Greece for The New York Times. Background reading:  President Trump lashed out on Sunday night at Pope Leo XIV, who responded hours later by saying he would continue to oppose war. The Times's Rome bureau chief is still getting a feel for a pontiff who is willing to challenge President Trump and use his sense of humor.

President Trump has a God problem. After criticizing the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus online, Trump has caused an uproar among his Christian base. This week, Alex speaks to Pastor Doug Pegitt about the crisis of conscience many faith leaders and parishioners are facing as their political leanings and moral beliefs collide. Then, she's joined by Jennifer Palmieri, former White House Communications Director under President Obama and Senior Advisor to the Clinton and Harris campaigns, to talk about the power of the Catholic swing vote and how Democrats could win over religious voters.

Presidential hopefuls have already started jockeying for position in the 2028 race — look at the number of Democrats who published memoirs over the last year. But a lot can happen in two years. And across the aisle on the Republican side, there's a big orange obstacle: Donald Trump, the unpopular president who somehow still has a stranglehold on GOP primary voters. To talk more about the race for the White House, we spoke with MS NOW's Chris Hayes. He's the host of "All In with Chris Hayes" and the podcast "Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast."And in headlines, the Trump administration wishes the Pope would keep his mouth shut when it comes to issues of humanity, Grok almost faces consequences for its sexual AI images, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune wants to put the Department of Homeland Security legislation on a diet!Show Notes: Check out Chris Hayes's podcast – https://tinyurl.com/4ddh6kzd Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's latest late-night spiral as a barrage of erratic posts, attacks on Pope Leo XIV, NATO, and political enemies raises new questions about his stability. They analyze the escalating rhetoric, the role of figures like J. D. Vance as he distances himself from the Pope while promoting the administration's agenda, and what it signals about the state of Trump's inner circle. Kander and Gupta also dive into rising global tensions with Iran, stalled negotiations, economic anxiety at home, and alarming new data on inflation and consumer sentiment. Plus, they are joined by Ken Harbaugh to explore what recent international political shakeups can teach the U.S. about countering authoritarian movements and the growing backlash to AI data centers across the country.

Donald Trump's war on Pope Leo is worsening. JD Vance warned that the Pope, who condemned Trump's war on religious grounds, should “be careful” in his theology. Mike Johnson dismissed the Pope's criticisms by bizarrely invoking Just War Doctrine, which Trump and Pete Hegseth are serially violating. All this reveals Trump to be demanding that his leading sycophants (even devoutly religious ones) place him above the Pope—and indeed that they recognize no higher allegiance than to the president. Meanwhile, The New York Times has an epic piece on his mental decline, which reports that many ex-allies are sounding the alarm, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to numerous top first-term advisers. We talked to former national security official Olivia Troye, who just announced a run for Congress. She recounts what she witnessed first-hand about Trump's unfitness, why his enablers are much worse this time around, and how his madness is now impacting Americans' everyday lives.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

   It's a topic I'd rather not get into but Pope Leo has forced the hand of this podcaster.  Our whole lives, politicians and the Pope stayed in their respective lanes and didn't cross over and tell each other how to do their jobs.  Pope Leo has changed that as it appears he's an American Liberal before he is the Pope of the Catholic Church.  President Trump has always been a counter puncher and there was no reason to believe he was going to allow a long time Trump hater off the hook just because he became pope.     The head of the oil and gas workers of America has posted a great video explaining how we refine which kind of oil and why prices reflect what we have been doing.    A jury in New York has found Tickmaster guilty of creating a monopoly and gouging music and sports fans all across America.  Hunter Biden is broke and has fled the country.    In sports, the Royals bats are officially the worst they have ever been to start a season.  Totally dreadful.  But the city council is about to approve $600 million for a new ballpark for the team.    It's NASCAR week at Kansas Speedway as one driver stands above, the Chiefs get a scathing review heading into the NFL draft, the Masters ratings Sunday were bigger than when Tiger won and we have a genuine cat fight in sports journalism as one female reporter for USA Today slams Diana Russini.

In Pope Leo XIV, Donald Trump has finally run into someone he can't silence, threaten, or sully. He's not taking it gracefully.

Allie addresses the intense backlash she received after responding to Donald Trump's controversial Truth Social post that many claimed portrayed him as Jesus Christ. Allie explains why she believes Trump's explanation is plausible while still calling for greater care and discernment from the president and pushes back against critics who accused her of secretly being “Never Trump” or defending him too much. Allie also dives deep into the escalating feud between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV, breaking down Trump's sharp criticism of the pope's statements on foreign policy, stance on crime, and growing alignment with Islam. For some reason, Tucker Carlson is saying Muslims are offended by Trump's messianic post. Is Catholicism really on the rise in America? She examines the growing Catholic vs. Evangelical divide, comparing where the two groups stand on abortion, immigration, IVF, gender, and sexuality, and explains why — despite the popular “Catholic drip” narrative — data shows Catholicism continues to decline while Protestantism remains strong. As a Reformed Protestant, Allie clarifies what biblical evangelicalism truly means, why she holds to covenant theology, and why Scripture alone must remain the final authority for Christians. Don't miss this timely conversation on politics, theology, and staying faithful to the Bible in a divided culture. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

It's been another week of deranged comments and posts from the President. This time he has targeted Pope Leo by accusing him of being weak on crime and catering to the radical left. Mr. Trump followed up by posting an A.I. image of himself as Jesus. The outrage was swift, including from his own MAGA supporters, but are they actually to blame for his messianic self-image? On Palm Sunday, the Pope said Jesus does not hear the prayers of those who wage war. Most assume he was referring to the Secretary of Defense's wrathful prayer for U.S. troops in Iran. Defenders of Pete Hegseth's prayer say he was just quoting the Bible, so what's the problem? Bri Stensrud, the director of Women of Welcome, explains why conservative evangelical women are rising up to support the dignity of immigrants and refugees even as many of their churches remain silent. Also this week—caffeinated cocaine sharks are roaming the Caribbean.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Bri Stensrud: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155624095/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155629230/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:08 - Theme Song   2:30 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Just when you thought the news cycle couldn't get more surreal, Stephanie Miller dissects the President's latest digital hallucination: an AI-generated mashup of himself as Jesus and Dr. Strange. Because nothing says "stable leadership" like a multiverse messiah. She's joined by legal powerhouse Lisa Bloom to break down the Eric Swalwell allegations and why political trust is currently on life support. Plus, Tara Devlin stops by to call out the MAGA crowd's sudden urge to lecture the Pope while their own moral house is effectively on fire.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When can Catholics rightly criticize the Pope — and when does that cross a line? In this clip from The Ben Shapiro Show, Ben Shapiro and Trent Horn discuss papal infallibility, prudential judgments, and the difference between disagreeing respectfully and dismissing the Holy Father outright. They also get into media bias, selective outrage from both left and right, Pope Francis, Pope Leo, and how Catholics should think about papal comments on politics, war, and public policy.

The New Yorker staff writer Molly Fischer joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Zohran Mamdani's first hundred days as mayor of New York. They talk about how Mamdani has carried his highly disciplined, media-forward messaging style into office—and how his governing style combines practical city management with a focus on visible and public-facing execution. They also explore the status of his core initiatives, including universal child care and other affordability measures, whether he has scaled back or recalibrated some campaign promises, and how he has navigated relationships with figures such as Governor Kathy Hochul and President Donald Trump as he tries to harness his political momentum into durable results.This week's reading: “Zohran Mamdani, Perpetual Student of the City,” by Molly Fischer “ ‘The Peace President' Gets Belligerent with Iran and the Pope,” by Robin Wright “What Brought Down Eric Swalwell,” by Jon Allsop “TMZ Gets Political,” by Paul Mejía “The Hungarian Election Shows That Even Strongmen Can Lose,” by Andrew Marantz “The Extremes of Israeli Public Opinion,” by Isaac Chotiner The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller and JVL cover a rough week for Trump, from failed talks with Iran that turned into a naval blockade, to strong signs of real cracks inside his coalition as allies and right-wing media begin to push back against his idiocy.

Donald Trump is now raging at a staunch ally, Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni. After she sided with the Pope's criticism of the Iran war, which had infuriated Trump, he unloaded again, ripping her as “unacceptable” and seething that she “doesn't care if Iran has a nuclear weapon.” Trump also called Meloni a coward for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, an analysis by CNN's Harry Enten finds that Trump's net approval among noncollege whites—a key part of his base—has nosedived by a shocking 34 points. Trump is also deeply underwater with these voters on something you'd think they would stick with him through: The war and his handling of Iran. It all looks like a new kind of low among this once-loyal constituency. We talked to New Republic senior editor Alex Shephard, who's been writing well about the politics of this war. We discuss why noncollege whites are abandoning Trump, how Iran is splintering MAGA at home and abroad, and the challenges JD Vance will face as heir to this fracturing movement.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Tucker Carlson claims that Muslims love Jesus and are far more hospitable to Christians than say...Israel... the Pope has said that we need to be less fearful of Islam and that Lebanon stands as an excellent example of Christians and muslims living together in peace and mutual respect...but is it true? Today, we will carefully and respectfully examine the data to test these claims.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalGold and silver are at all-time highs driven by inflation, market instability, and a weaker dollar.

President Trump calls Iran's bluff and reopens the Hormuz Strait with a US military blockade and no help from NATO countries. Stephen Miller says Trump's moves have reset the world's power structure as China reportedly tells Trump they won't give Iran any more weapons. Whom do Catholics support more? The Pope and his anti-war rhetoric? Or President Trump and his 'no nuclear weapons EVER' strike on Iran? California ranks first in an inauspicious poll.  

The battle between the president and the pope continues to play out. Pope Leo has not backed down from his criticisms of the war in Iran, but he is taking a different approach during his visit to Africa. Some allies of President Trump are also piling on to defend him and the war. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and editor-at-large of America magazine.

Laura - Can someone get last rites up to three hours after the person dies? (01:03) Marian - We are supposed to follow God's will. Is the Holy Spirit working in both the Pope and the President? Who is it that is inspired by Him? (09:15) Mike - When a person becomes a saint, how does that work? (14:44) Denise - Why would the Pope entertain a private meeting with David Axelrod? (17:45) Charlene - I remember Pope Francis said that the Bishop of Rome will no longer be known as the Vicar of Christ. I heard it on the radio. Is this true? (24:00) Jonathan - What should our posture be towards Islam? I know this is part of the situation in Iran and other places. How can we address this as Catholics? (26:10) Gabrielle - What should our posture be towards Islam? I know this is part of the situation in Iran and other places. How can we address this as Catholics? (37:33) James - Jim called in yesterday and asked about Catholic customs. I give up coffee on Friday's. (49:46)

Patrick shares emails in response to the last couple of episodes of the show (00:36) Claudia - I think of St. Catherine of Siena during the schism. I pray the Surrender Novena and that helps with anger. (12:04) Sharron - I am really sick and tired of people complaining about Pope and Trump. People don't understand that the Holy Spirit appoints the Pope. People are attacking the Holy Spirit. (14:06) Michael - I support and respect your direction and demeanor when it comes to people attacking you. (17:14) Israel - I want to respond to the guy upset about the Pope. This is no way to live. Life is short and we need peace. (21:45) Rick - What would the Pope suggest that we do in Iran? We can't negotiate with them in good faith? There is no answer. (27:08) Keep going Linda - I wish the Pope would go to talk to the leaders in Iran. Why isn't he talking to them and not just to us. (39:14) Manuel - If I want to be a priest, what should I do? (44:51) Laura - Can someone get last rites up to three hours after the person dies? (49:06)

Patrick shares emails in response to the last couple of episodes of the show (00:35) Kathy - Is it right for the priest to peak around the screen in Confession? (09:20) Jay - The Catholic population has been declining. It seems like the Holy Father has a flawed set of priorities with his visits. Do you have any thoughts about this and why he would visit Muslim countries instead of Europe? (15:59) George - I disagree with you about the Pope and his alignment with globalists and democrats (24:04) Eliazer - I hope we can approach both the President and the Pope with the right perspective. As Catholics, the Pope represents us and he is doing what he needs to do. Also, the President is our president. I see both as important. (30:17) Vinnie - Nobody ever got to heaven by bad mouthing the Pope (39:16) Mary - In response to guy who disagrees with you, best thing we can do is fast and pray and change sin in our life. (43:13) Anna - My daughter is doing a paper on the Secretariat on Atheism in the Vatican in the 1930s. Was there an alliance with the fascists and the Vatican? Do you know anything about this?

On today’s edition of SUFTT, we look at the steady flow of things that make us say, “I never thought I would see that!”, to be followed by, for Christians at least, “What a time to be alive!”. Both expressions are valid. Pigs may not be flying but they are being chased. By a robot. Ask the people in Warsaw Poland. There are so many things that fall into this category it might seem we just don’t focus on the weird and surreal anymore but it certainly paints a picture. Today we talk about tying British citizenship to understanding Muslim holidays; Mamdani possibly tying America’s 250th to something other than being American (more info to follow as we get toward July 4!); the Pope continues his denying ways when it comes to Islam and Christianity; and Your Brain on Ai. Which come to think of it, is similar to our brain after consuming too much news media and we all are at risk.
