Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 1.6-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,732 on turnover of $3.5-billion N-T. MAC ban two Chinese nationals from World Masters Games The Mainland Affairs Council has denied two Chinese nationals registered for the upcoming World Masters Games entry onto Taiwan - citing concerns that they intended to disrupt the event with political messages. According to the council spokesperson Liang Wen-chieh, his office received reports of such planned actions from members of the public here in Taiwan, who have said some Chinese participants plan to use the event to push political agendas. Liang says the two banned individuals are suspected of planning to display the Chinese national flag and advocate (主張、提倡) for unification with Taiwan by force - and as such, his office had no choice but to reject their entry. However, the council spokesman also says that despite the two athletes being denied entry, it has approved entry permits for 371 other Chinese nationals to take part in the Games. The World Masters Games begins tomorrow in Taipei and New Taipei. US judge dismisses charges against migrants caught in military zone A federal judge has dismissed charges against nearly 100 migrants arrested for trespassing (非法侵入) on a newly declared US military zone on the border of the state of New Mexico. The ruling adds to the growing legal uncertainty surrounding President Trump's expansion (擴張) of military authority at the southern border. Ira Spitzer reports. Congo Soldiers Transferred to Goma Over a thousand disarmed Congolese soldiers and police officers, along with their families have safely been transferred from the rebel-controlled city of Goma in eastern Congo to the capital Kinshasa over the last two weeks. On Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said it helped escort the 1,359 disarmed members of the government forces. The soldiers and police officers had been taking refuge at a United Nations base since January, when the decades-long conflict in eastern Congo escalated (加劇) as the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels seized the strategic Goma. The news of the successful transfer comes amid persistent tensions in eastern Congo, where fighting between Congo's army and M23 continues. Pope Meets with Greek Church Head Pope Leo XIV has met at the Vatican with the head of the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine. It was one of his first audiences as pontiff that reaffirmed his appeal (上訴) for a peaceful, negotiated end to Russia's war. His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk said he invited Leo to visit Ukraine and presented the pope with a list of prisoners held by Russia. The Vatican under Pope Francis had worked for prisoner exchanges, as well as for the return of Ukrainian children taken to live in Russian-occupied territories. The Vatican didn't release any statement after the audience, one of the first private audiences held by Leo since his election May 8. That was the I.C.R.T.

In this episode, Gregg, Dave and Ron revisit their reflections on Pope Francis. With some trepidation, especially Ron. But we do evolve our religious beliefs. Especially as we age and mature. We are three podcasters, with different "cosmic addresses". There is no one size fits allAdditional ReferencesCore Wisdom Formula: Experience + Knowledge + Maturity = Wisdom (+)The formula highlights the interdependence of three key components in developing wisdom:1. Experience: Encompasses personal interactions, emotions, and perceptions, forming the subjective lens through which the world is understood.2. Knowledge: Refers to acquired information or awareness, gained through education or experience.3. Maturity: Demonstrated in one's ability to respond thoughtfully and deliberately to life's challenges, beyond mere age.Wisdom results when these elements merge, and Wisdom+ represents the ability to apply them, leading to wise action with tangible benefits.Four Wisdom Support Constructs1. Wisdom Practice Model: Stories, Ologies, Beliefs, Wisdom+  - Stories: Interpretations of experiences.  - Ologies Fields of study (e.g., biology, psychology) that influence belief systems.  - Beliefs: Shaped by stories and ologies, forming personal behaviors.  - Wisdom+: Integration of experience, knowledge, and maturity into practical wisdom.2. Wisdom to the 3rd Power: Noun, Verb, and Creative Subconscious  - Noun: Represents wisdom as a philosophy, virtue, or practice.  - Verb: Wisdom in action, application, or response.  - Creative Subconscious: The incubator for pondering and creatively engaging wisdom.3. Four Maturity Capabilities: Maturity is developed through four capabilities:  - Objective self-analysis: Extending time between stimulus and response to evaluate beliefs and emotions.  - Understanding & integrating multiple perspectives: Acknowledging ambiguity and others' worldviews.  - Empathetic reasoning: Considering others' welfare while maintaining personal balance.  - Thinking and acting autonomously and authentically : Aligning behavior with values, acting autonomously and with integrity.4. SCARF Model (Dr. David Rock): This model identifies five social domains—status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness—that influence human behavior by triggering reward or threat responses. These social elements explain much of modern society's polarization, lack of civility, and increasing tribalism. People often seek to avoid threats and approach rewards, creating division when these domains are challenged.This wisdom framework seeks to answer critical questions about contemporary social dynamics, such as the rise of populism, polarization, and the erosion of pluralism. By understanding the foundational elements of wisdom and the forces that shape human reactions (e.g., the SCARF model), individuals can foster more nuanced and thoughtful responses to life's challenges. The maturity capabilities offer a path to wise action, rooted in empathy, perspective-taking, and authenticity.This approach also suggests that the more developed these constructs are within individuals, the better equipped they are to navigate complex social and personal situations, leading to more harmonious and inclusive societies.

Marc Cox is joined by former Missouri State Senator John Lamping to discuss the election of Pope Leo, who is seen as a more conservative voice in contrast to Pope Francis. With roots in Chicago and fluency in English, Pope Leo may energize younger Catholics and represents a compromise candidate among conservative Cardinals. They also break down the final days of Missouri's legislative session, including critical issues like abortion ballot amendments, Prop A's paid sick leave law, capital gains tax elimination, and ongoing utility bill debates. Lamping offers political commentary on legislative inefficiencies, the rise of ballot initiatives, and the potential for a special session to resolve lingering policy conflicts.

In Hour 2, Marc Cox is joined by Dr. William Soliman to discuss the Trump administration's “most favored nation” plan aimed at lowering drug prices for Medicare patients. Soliman explains how pharmaceutical pricing works globally and what role pharmacy benefit managers play in driving up U.S. medication costs. Later, former Senator John Lamping analyzes the election of Pope Leo, viewed as a more conservative leader than Pope Francis, and what his papacy could mean for the future of the Catholic Church. The hour also includes a look at the final stretch of Missouri's legislative session, with debates over Prop A, capital gains tax, and abortion amendments. The show wraps with “In Other News,” covering everything from Michael Jordan joining NBC Sports to Bill Belichick's surprising appearance at the Miss Maine USA pageant.

Today is the feast of our Lady of Fatima. Father talks about the devotion which Pope Francis had to our Lady of Fatima. Father shares some insights from Pope Francis about Mary under the title Our Lady of Fatima.

This week's podcast is a bit of an emotional one for me…  It was inspired by a message from Pope Francis that's been making the rounds on social media — maybe you've seen it. It's one of those things that was exactly what I needed to hear at the exact moment that I read it. […]

Episode 561 of the A Minute to Midnite Show. Alex Neman joins Tony K. Big news of the day is the death of Pope Francis, and it's implications are discussed here. Also revealed here are some of the stealthy ways that the globalists continued to march forward with their agenda.

Hamas to Release US Hostage Hamas says the last living American hostage in Gaza will be released as part of efforts to establish a ceasefire, reopen crossings into the Israeli-blockaded territory and resume aid delivery. Two Hamas officials tell The Associated Press they expect the release of Edan Alexander in the next 48 hours. U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is confirming in a message to the AP that Hamas has agreed to release Alexander as a good will gesture toward Trump. The announcement of the first hostage release since Israel shattered (擊毀) a ceasefire in March comes shortly before Trump visits the Middle East this week.

In his first Sunday noon blessing as pontiff, Leo said, “Never again war!” from St. Peter's Basilica to an estimated 100,000 people below. Recalling the end of World War II 80 years ago, Leo quoted Pope Francis in denouncing the number of conflicts ravaging (摧殘) the globe today, saying it was a “third world war in pieces.” The 69-year-old Chicago-born missionary was elected 267th pope on Thursday. He has a busy week of audiences before his formal installation Mass Sunday. That was the I.C.R.T.

Many folks think the Catholic belief that Peter was made the first pope of the Catholic Church by Jesus is merely a human tradition. A quick search of Sacred Scripture shows that the Petrine Primacy is of divine origin and intended as an office to be maintained as long as there is a Church on earth.

the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope! Who is Cardinal Robert Prevost, the Chicago-born missionary who rose from Peru to the Vatican?

Former minister Kevin Annett joins the program to share his powerful 40-year mission to expose the truth and seek justice for survivors of Canada's Indian Residential Schools — institutions designed to systematically erase Indigenous identity and culture. He recounts what he uncovered during his ministry, including how the church retaliated against him for welcoming Indigenous voices into his congregation. Annett also reflects on how evil can disguise itself within religious institutions, manipulating well-meaning people into supporting systems of oppression without even realizing it.You can learn more about Kevin Annett on his website at https://MurderByDecree.com

A new pope has been chosen! As the recording of this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" began, white smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the selection of the first American pope. Glenn and Bishop Joseph Strickland react live to the news as the whole world wonders if Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, will continue in the ways of his predecessor Pope Francis or go a more traditional route. Bishop Strickland, who was removed from office by Pope Francis, says the former pope pushed a church “in the world and of the world” and reviews “duplicity,” “corruption,” and potential abuse overlooked by the Vatican, including the infamous McCarrick scandal. The pair discuss the resurgence of the Latin Mass, globalism, the Catholic Church's approach to homosexuality and gender identity, and whether the Shroud of Turin is an “icon” or a “relic.” As the new pope greets the world, Glenn asks, “If we have a more progressive pope, does that set the Church back?” Bishop Strickland advises that “even if we are disappointed and dismayed,” we must pray and keep our focus on God.     GLENN'S SPONSORS      Relief Factor             Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Antisemitism is pervasive, fueled by foreign governments like Qatar allegedly spending billions to influence U.S. media, politics, and organizations. Foreign-driven boycotts or threats against U.S. businesses, particularly targeting Jews, are unacceptable, and congressional action to stop this is not a First Amendment issue. The IGO Anti-Boycott Act (H.R. 867) merely extends the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 signed by President Trump to international organizations. What causes antisemitism is antisemites. Qatar must stop pouring billions of dollars in blood money into our colleges and universities, and our other institutions, in a sleazy campaign to spread their anti-American fundamentalist ideology, brainwash our children, promote violent and riotous revolution in our country, and own our ruling class and its surrogates and mouthpieces. Later, Mark delves into the unfiltered thoughts of our host as he shares his unwavering stance on politics, loyalty, and the importance of truth. He emphasizes the need for unity among like-minded individuals to combat the threats facing our republic. With a passionate delivery, he discusses the perils of appeasement, the decline of journalism, and the significance of personal integrity. Iran's “civilian” nuclear program, housed in bunkers 350 feet underground, is not normal. How many nations that have civilian use for nuclear power are we negotiating with? Only Iran. Iran is not interested in civil nuclear power. The reason we don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons with ICBMs is because they keep threatening the U.S. The fifth-column isolationist ideology is a grave threat when they defend Iran. Also, Sen James Lankford has no idea what he's talking about on due process, while an analyst on MSNBC gets it right. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost's election reflects his close alignment with Pope Francis's vision on issues like the environment, poverty, and synodality. We'll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II. His extensive missionary work in Peru and fluency in multiple languages were likely factors in his selection by the papal conclave. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week is mainly devoted to listener questions and feedback. First, Ralph answers some of the questions you have submitted over the past few weeks. Then we invite back last week's guest, Erica Payne, of Patriotic Millionaires, to respond to your very thoughtful comments on the interview we did with that group's plan for preserving democracy by taxing the rich. Plus, Ralph highlights the outrages of the Trump/Musk assault on government programs that help ordinary people.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.The real reason for taxation is democracy protection.Erica PayneI think the question is not: do we need to fix the estate tax? The question is: what is the best, most defensible mechanism through which you can tax the transfer of wealth from one generation to the other in order to protect American democracy from dynastic wealth—that is sufficient that you find five generations from now Elon Musk's kid isn't spending as much money on these elections as their great great great great great granddaddy is.Erica PayneAusterity applied at a federal level to a society that is in distress does the exact opposite of what the proponents of austerity are saying it should do. The tightening of the belt actually cuts off the circulation of the society.Erica PayneNews 5/9/251. While the Catholic clergy convene in Rome for the Papal Conclave, Pope Francis graces the world with one final gift. Vatican News reports, “His popemobile, the very vehicle from which he waved and was close to millions of faithful all around the world, is being transformed into a mobile health unit for the children of Gaza.” This article states this was Francis' “final wish,” and quotes his refrain that “Children are not numbers. They are faces. Names. Stories. And each one is sacred.” The vehicle is reportedly being outfitted with equipment for “diagnosis, examination, and treatment – including rapid tests for infections, diagnostic instruments, vaccines, suture kits, and other life-saving supplies,” and it will be staffed by doctors and medics. Yet, given Israel's track record for the destruction of medical facilities in Gaza, it is unclear how long this mobile health unit itself will survive.2. In more distressing news from Gaza, CNN reports that “A Gaza-bound activist aid ship [part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition] caught fire and issued an SOS, after what its organizers claimed was an Israeli drone attack off the coast of Malta…[on] Friday.” Per CNN, the ship was due to make port in Malta and pick up “a large contingent of activists” there before departing for Gaza. These included environmental activist Greta Thunberg and retired US Army Colonel Mary Ann Wright. Thunberg said this flotilla “is one of many attempts to open up a humanitarian corridor and…[try] to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza,” adding “for two months now, not a single bottle of water has entered Gaza…it's a systematic starvation of 2 million people.” The United Nations World Food Programme said this week “its warehouses are…empty; soup kitchens that are still running are severely rationing their last stocks; and what little food remains in Gaza's markets is being sold for exorbitant prices that most cannot afford.”3. Pro-Palestine activists scored a major victory in Michigan this week. The Guardian reports, “Michigan's attorney general, Dana Nessel, announced on Monday that she was dropping all charges against seven pro-[Palestine] demonstrators arrested last May at a University of Michigan encampment.” As this report notes, “The announcement came just moments before the judge was to decide on a defense motion to disqualify Nessel's office over alleged bias.” The Guardian itself published a major report “detailing Nessel's extensive personal, financial and political connections to university regents calling for the activists to be prosecuted,” last October. Defense attorney Amir Makled is quoted saying “This was a case of selective prosecution…rooted in bias, not in public safety issues…We're hoping this sends a message to other institutions locally and nationally that protest is not a crime, and dissent is not disorder.”4. In another legal victory, Prem Thakker reported on May 6th that “A federal court has [denied] the Trump administration's attempt to move Mahmoud Khalil's case…out of New Jersey.” The government attempted to move the venue to Louisiana, where they have Khalil detained. A press release by the ACLU, their New York and New Jersey affiliates, and the Center for Constitutional Rights states, “It is the fundamental job of the judiciary to stand up to…government manipulation of our basic rights. We hope the court's order sends a strong message to other courts around the country facing government attempts to shop for favorable jurisdictions by moving people detained on unconstitutional immigration charges around and making it difficult or impossible for their lawyers to know where to seek their immediate release.”5. Trump has released his budget for Fiscal Year 2026. This budget cuts nondefense spending by 23%, per Reuters, while allocating 75% of discretionary spending to military and police, per Stephen Semler of the Cost of War Project. This includes a 13% increase in military spending that tips the Pentagon budget over $1 trillion for the first time. So much for increasing government efficiency.6. At the same time, this country's infrastructure and transportation safety agencies continue to crumble. Just this week, NPR reported “Hundreds of flight delays and cancellations…[hit]… Newark Liberty International Airport at once: [due to] air traffic controller staffing shortages, aging technology, bad weather and the closure of one of the airport's busiest runways.” The air traffic controller staffing shortages, a chronic issue, has been compounded in recent months by the mass layoffs initiated by the Trump administration. NBC News reports that one air traffic controller handling Newark airspace said, “Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.”7. It might be nice to have competent, energetic leadership among the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee right about now. Unfortunately, the party opted to install 75-year-old, cancer-ridden Gerry Connolly to serve as Ranking Member on that committee instead of AOC. Now, Axios reports Connolly is stepping down from this position after just four months and will not seek reelection to his seat in Congress, citing his declining health. AOC, once-bitten, has opted not to seek the position a second time, the Hill reports. Instead, the top contenders emerging to fill Conolly's seat are Stephen Lynch, a 70-year-old Congressman who won his seat in 2001 and is currently filling Conolly's role on an interim basis, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton, the non-voting delegate representing Washington D.C. Norton is the most senior Democrat on the committee at 87-years-old, having assumed office in 1991.8. Another ghost is coming back to haunt the Democrats: former Senator Bob Menendez. The New Jersey Globe reports, “The New Jersey Attorney General's office will seek a court order to permanently bar…Menendez from ever holding public employment in the state following his conviction on federal corruption charges last year.” Critically if a Superior Court judge approves the action, Menendez could lose his state pension. Menendez still draws over $1,000 per month from his New Jersey public employee pension, even after being sentenced to 11 years in prison for corruption last July. More recently, Menendez has sought to cozy up to Trump in an effort to obtain a pardon. So far, no dice.9. In some positive news, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continues an unbelievable run. Back in April, KJZZ reported that Mexico will invest nearly $3 billion in “food sovereignty,” to “produce more staples like corn, beans and rice in Mexico over the next five years.” This money will be directed at small and medium sized farms in Mexico and is intended to anchor both the rural economy and the nation's food supply amidst the growing uncertainty of trade with the United States vis a vis Trump's erratic trade policy. Then, after May Day, Labor Minister Marath Bolaños said that “before the end of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term…the government would gradually install a…40-hour workweek,” Mexico News Daily reports. The standard workweek in Mexico currently sits at 48 hours. As this report notes, the 40-hour workweek is Number 60 on Sheinbaum's list of 100 promises. Americans can only dream of having a government that even makes that many promises, let alone keeps them. Perhaps the most impressive of Sheinbaum's recent actions however is her recent rejection of Trump's attempt to strongarm her into allowing American troops to enter Mexico. Democracy Now! reports Sheinbaum told the American president, “The territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale.”10. Finally, on the other end of the presidential spectrum, there's Trump furiously posting on Truth Social about the “Movie Industry in America…DYING a very fast death,” deeming that this is “a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat,” and threatening a “100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.” Obviously, this screed is basically nonsensical and it remains to be seen what will actually come of this threat, but what is notable is the response from organized labor. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) issued a statement threading the needle between supporting Trump's effort to “return and maintain U.S. film and television jobs, while not…harming the industry overall.” On the other hand, the Teamsters – led by Sean O'Brien who has tied himself to Trump more and more since he spoke at the 2024 RNC – issued a statement “thank[ing] President Trump for boldly supporting good union jobs when others have turned their heads.” Would such a policy truly revitalize the workforce of the American entertainment industry? We'll have to wait for the sequel to find out.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

POPE LEO XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected this week to succeed Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history. We discuss the possible reasons for Leo's choice of that papal name. Pope Leo XIII, who served 1878–1903, is remembered for emphasizing the veneration of Mary and her status as “Mediatrix” and “Co-Redemptrix.” (There is no blblical support for the role of Mary in our redemption.) Leo XIII was also known for championing the rights of workers to fair wages and safe working conditions during the Industrial Revolution. Leo I, also called Leo the Great, was pope between 440 and 461 AD. He's remembered for laying the theological foundation for the Council of Chalcedon, which defined the nature of Jesus as both human and divine in one person, but perhaps best known for meeting with Attila the Hun and talking the barbarian out of invading Italy.

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first mass as successor of Peter with the Cardinals in Rome, in the Sistine Chapel, where he was elected as the 267th Pope on the fourth ballot Thursday afternoon.In his heartfelt homily, the new Pope called for always better cultivating a personal relationship with Christ and insisted that life lacks meaning without faith.“We are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“My brother Cardinals, I invite you to reflect on the marvels the Lord has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out on all of us through the Ministry of Peter.”“Our Saviour alone reveals the face of the Father.”“God, to make Himself close and accessible to men and women, revealed Himself to us in the trusting eyes of a child, in the lively mind of a young person, and in the mature features of a man, finally appearing to His disciples after the Resurrection with His glorious body.”“He showed us a model of human holiness that we can all imitate, together with the promise of an eternal destiny that transcends all our limits and abilities.”“He chose us before we were formed in our mothers' wombs, reborn in the waters of Baptism and, surpassing our limitations and with no merit of our own, brought here and sent forth from here, so that the Gospel might be proclaimed to every creature.”“Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.”“These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised, or at best tolerated and pitied.”“Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed.”“A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family, and so many other wounds that afflict our society.”“There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman.”“Not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.”“This is the world entrusted to us, a world in which, as Pope Francis taught us so many times, we are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“Therefore, it is essential that we repeat, with Peter: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”“It is essential to do this, first of all, in our personal relationship with the Lord, in our commitment to a ‘daily journey of conversion.”“Then as a Church, we are to do the same, experiencing together our fidelity to the Lord and bringing the Good News to all.”“I say this first of all to myself, as the Successor of Peter, as I begin my mission as Bishop of Rome, according to the well-known expression of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, ‘to preside in charity over the universal Church.”“May God grant me this grace, today and always, through the loving intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

His Majesty the King has extended his congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo the Fourteenth, as the newly elected pontiff takes over as leader of the Roman Catholic Church.In a statement on Friday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that His Majesty had sent a private message to Pope Leo, offering his and Queen Camilla's “most sincere good wishes for his pontificate.” A Palace spokesperson added that the King conveyed “warm regards” and noted Pope Leo's “lifelong dedication to service, compassion and spiritual leadership.”The King, who has forged a strong relationship with the Holy See, enjoyed a longstanding rapport with the late Pope Francis. The two last met in person just weeks before Pope Francis's passing.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost's election reflects his close alignment with Pope Francis's vision on issues like the environment, poverty, and synodality. We'll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II. His extensive missionary work in Peru and fluency in multiple languages were likely factors in his selection by the papal conclave. Later, President Trump's deal with Britain really is a very big deal. It's part of his strategy to open worldwide markets and create a more market-oriented global economy, which is why it is pro-capitalism and more free-market oriented. He imposed tariffs and reciprocity on other countries for leverage to force them to lower their tariffs and reduce foreign government subsidies of their businesses. Trump is creating the most open market system in modern world history. Afterward, Sen Tom Cotton calls in to explain that any new nuclear deal with Iran that does not involve the complete dismantlement of its nuclear program will not pass the Senate. Republicans agree with Trump that Iran needs to completely dismantle their program.  Finally, Rishi Arun, president of Temple University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), stated that it is their mission to destroy imperialism, the United States, and capitalism. Mohammed Khatib, from the designated terror organization Samidoun, said that liberating Palestine would be a step toward dismantling the United States.

We have a new pope, and he's from Chicago! On the second day of the papal conclave Thursday, Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. He's the first American citizen to hold the position, but he also spent two decades serving in Peru, before the late Pope Francis chose him for an influential post at the Vatican. Pope Leo XIV now has a very, very big job leading the world's 1.36 billion Catholics amid major tensions within the church, between those aligned with Francis' efforts to make the church more inclusive and those who think those efforts have undermined Catholic tradition. Christopher White, Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter and author of the forthcoming book 'Pope Leo XIV: Inside the Conclave and the Dawn of a New Papacy,' tells us more about the new pope's selection and what we can expect from his papacy.And in headlines: President Donald Trump unveiled his first big new trade deal with… the United Kingdom, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced plans for a much-needed update to the nation's air traffic control system, and former President Joe Biden defended his time in office during an interview with The View.Show Notes:Check out Christopher's work –www.ncronline.org/authors/christopher-whiteSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Fifteen years after Sarah Silverman's viral call to “Sell the Vatican, Feed the World,” we now have a “Marxist Pope,” according to Trump stormtrooper Laura Loomer, and our wildest dreams. This week for Gaslit Nation's bonus show, we dive into the groundbreaking election of the first American pope, Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, whose ancestry ties him to Black lineage. While many celebrate this historic milestone, deeper questions remain.  Most crucially, Pope Leo's stance on Opus Dei, a secretive, powerful crime cult aligned with far-right politics and accused of human trafficking and labor abuses, remains unclear, especially given his close connections to Opus Dei in Peru. By Vatican standards, Pope Francis launched an open war on Opus Dei. (Fun fact: Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent and traitor who spied for the Kremlin, was an Opus Dei member).  Pope Francis began the work of reigning in Opus Dei's unchecked power. Pope Leo, seen as a moderate administrator, played both sides during his tenure in Peru, where Opus Dei holds sway. Will he now take bold action to finish Francis's mission, and protect the world from Opus Dei, especially America where Opus Dei has been expanding its influence in Washington, DC, thanks to allies Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025?  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

In one of the oldest of old-world ceremonies still in practice, 133 cardinals chose the next leader of the Catholic church. And though he is said to be, in many ways, a natural successor to Pope Francis, Vatican-watchers have long doubted the chances that an American would be elevated to the papacy. But for the first time in history there is an American pope. CNN Correspondents Christopher Lamb, David Culver and Brynn Gingras bring us the latest and reactions from both Rome and America.

It was an election that seems to have been faster than that of his predecessor, or at least as fast, since Francis had been elected in the sixth round on the second day. It once again took two days and five or six votes to elect the 267th Pope in history, and the first American Pope. At 6:08 p.m., white smoke rose above the roof of the Sistine Chapel, announcing to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square that the Church had a new Pope. But it wasn't until 7:12 p.m. that Cardinal Dominique Mamberti appeared on the Loggia and proclaimed the expected formula: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus papam" (I announce to you a great joy, we have a (new) pope), Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who took the name Leo XIV. The new Roman Pontiff then stepped forward to pronounce his first Urbi et Orbi blessing. He began with a short speech in which he expressed his desire to promote a synodal Church. Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, he is 69 years old and an American citizen. He entered the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and made his perpetual profession in 1981. He was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982. He served as Prior General of the Augustinians from 2001 to 2013. He was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, in 2014, a position he would hold until 2023. Since January 30, 2023, he has been Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. On September 30, 2023, he was created Cardinal Deacon of Santa Monica, before being elevated to the title of Cardinal Bishop of Albano on February 6, 2025. The question that arises, for those who wish to move beyond the emotion of the moment, is, "What will be the future of the Church in the Pontificate that is just beginning?" In 2013, only a small number of clergymen and Vaticanists who knew Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina expressed any serious apprehension about his election. Thanks to the website "Cardinium Collegii recensio," it is possible to find out what each cardinal has said or written on sensitive issues such as the ordination of women to the diaconate, the blessing of same-sex couples, the option of priestly celibacy, the restriction of the traditional Mass, the agreement between China and the Vatican, and the promotion of a synodal Church. Regarding the new Pope, he declared that "the clericalization of women" would not solve the problems of the Catholic Church. He insisted, stating that "the apostolic tradition is something that has been very clearly stated, especially when we are talking about the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood." However, he pointed out that Pope Francis recently appointed Sister Simona Brambilla Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. He commented: "I think it will continue to be recognized that women can contribute a great deal to the life of the Church at various levels." Regarding the blessing of same-sex couples, he presented somewhat ambiguous formulations. However, he appears to be a fervent supporter of the synodal Church. As reported above, he expressed his support for this idea from the loggia. The speed of the election suggests that it was a compromise election. There were so many divisions among the cardinals who entered the conclave that it may have been necessary to consider promoting a compromise cardinal. On the other hand, the choice of Leo XIV as a name may reflect a desire to move beyond the period that began with John XXIII. But ultimately, more about this new Pope will be discovered when he is at work, beginning with the appointments to head the various Roman dicasteries. Let us pray for the new Sovereign...

This week, the Catholic Church installs Pope Leo XIV—an American pontiff advancing Pope Francis's globalist reforms, from open borders to climate policy. At the same time, a Muslim figure claiming to be the “Messiah” calls on Arabs to help rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. As the Real ID rolls out and Europe pulls away from U.S. influence, the prophetic puzzle pieces are shifting fast.

It's Friday, May 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Second anniversary of brutal violence in India Christians of Manipur State, India marked the second anniversary of the brutal ethnic violence that erupted on May 3, 2023, reports International Christian Concern. Shockingly, 258 people were killed, 1,000 injured, and 60,000 people were displaced. Plus, 4,786 houses were burnt and 386 religious structures were vandalized, including temples and churches. India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Cardinals selected first American Pope On the fourth vote, the College of Cardinals, referred to as the Papal Conclave, chose the first-ever American Pope.  Robert Prevost has taken the name of Pope Leo XIV, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Born in Chicago, educated at Villanova University, and a missionary to Peru, Prevost selected the name Leo for a reason. On ABC News, Catholic Pastor James Martin said this. MARTIN: “Historically, it's a name that would signal his alignment with workers, labor, and the poor.” Catholics claim that Peter, the fisherman disciple of Jesus, was the first pope. In fact, Scripture does not teach that Peter was in authority over the other apostles at all or over the church. Indeed, Ephesians 2:19 says, “So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” Catholics also claim that the pope is infallible when he acts or speaks as Christ's representative on Earth. That assertion is not Scripturally supported either. Pope critical of Trump/Vance, pushed COVID vaccine, & removed conservative bishops In terms of positions on the issues, Prevost has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump's administration and has consistently used his X account to promote material hostile to Trump's immigration policies.  In one instance from February 3, Prevost reposted an article by the National Catholic Reporter entitled “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others.” The article criticizes the U.S. vice president for correctly arguing that we owe more immediate responsibility to our own family members and country than to those overseas – a position taught by St. Thomas Aquinas – and reiterated in the “social encyclicals” of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century popes.  As head of the Congregation for Bishops, Prevost was instrumental in the removal of conservative Bishop Joseph Strickland in 2023 from Tyler, Texas, and the removal of the leading French conservative bishop, Dominique Rey, from his diocese of Fréjus-Toulon.   Prevost also reposted a call for the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccines to be “available for all” and a United States Conference of Catholic Bishops post that called getting vaccinated “an act of love.”  In 2012, a year before the election of Pope Francis, Cardinal Prevost expressed disappointment that some Western media held “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel,” in particular, the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.” Trump's trade deal with U.K. nets U.S. $5 billion opportunity On Thursday, President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced they had reached a trade agreement that lifted some — but not all — U.S. tariffs on British goods, reports National Public Radio. Trump said it would give U.S. companies better market access for beef, ethanol, other farm products, chemicals, machinery, and industrial products — new opportunities his administration said were worth $5 billion. 2nd largest automaker making splash in America Speaking of the positive impact of Trump's tariffs, Volkswagen Group, the second largest automaker in the world in 2024, is preparing to join the growing list of automakers looking to re-equip its US factories in response to the tariffs, reports The Daily Mail.  The German automaker's luxury brand, Audi — which assembles most of its lineup in its home country, Hungary, Mexico, Slovakia, Spain, and China — is planning to make some of its crossover and SUV models now in America. ‘Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer regrets ex-girlfriend's abortion Frasier star Kelsey Grammer opened up about his profound regret over his ex-girlfriend's abortion in his newly released memoir, reports People Magazine. This tragedy closely preceded another in the actor's life: the 1975 rape and murder of his younger sister, which is the main subject of his memoir Karen: A Brother Remembers.  In his new book, Grammer wrote, “I know that many people do not have a problem with abortion, and though I have supported it in the past, the abortion of my son eats away at my soul.” Just months before his sister's death, he explains that his then-girlfriend became pregnant and decided to abort their baby. While he said he was “willing” to keep the baby, he “did not plead with her to save his life.” Grammer admits he “volunteered to have my son's body vacuumed out of his mother's.” As Live Action reports, abortionists use “vacuums 10-20 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner to tear (babies) apart alive.”  Grammer added, “I regret it.” Despite his harrowing regret over his own son's death by abortion, the TV star ironically says he still believes abortion should be legal. Proverbs 31:8 says, “Open your mouth for the voiceless.” Over 7,750 baptized in largest single-day baptism in US history And finally, on Saturday, 7,750 people were baptized in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Huntington Beach, California, an event organizers say marked the largest single-day baptism in American history, reports The Christian Post. Hosted by Oceans Church and led by Pastor Mark Francey, the event dubbed "Baptize California" drew approximately 30,000 attendees from more than 300 churches across the Golden State.

In this explosive commentary, the host dissects the historic election of the first American pope and what it reveals about the Vatican's financial desperation and political fractures. The episode explores Pope Francis' controversial legacy, including his perceived hostility toward traditional Catholics, alleged Marxist leanings, and financial mismanagement that alienated American donors. It then shifts to a chilling exposé on the Biden administration's handling of migrant children, including fake addresses, halted DNA testing, and ties to cartel trafficking—raising serious questions about institutional corruption and accountability. A must-listen for those seeking to understand the intersection of faith, politics, and human rights.

The film, as you might guess, depicts the shabby and conspiratorial inner-workings of a (fictional) College of Cardinals as they go about picking a new pope. Fun movie! Great chat!Furthering Reading:Brandon Taylor, Real Life, (2020)— Filthy Animals, (2021)— The Late Americans, (2023)— "Is it even good? Two Years with Zola," LRB, April 4, 2024.Ben Munster, "Cardinals are watching ‘Conclave' the movie for guidance on the actual conclave," Politico, May 6, 2025.Dan Walden, "Gender, Sex, and other Nonsense," Commonweal, March 1, 2021.

The white smoke rose in St. Peter's Square and American-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was chosen by the conclave to be the next pope. Pope Leo XIV, 69, was selected to take up the papal seat on the second day of the papal conclave's deliberations. Pope Leo the 14th is the first American to be selected as pope and was known to be very much aligned with Pope Francis on positions regarding the poor and the environment. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Courtney Walsh, Senior FOX News Producer covering the Vatican, currently In Rome, who says St. Peter's square was buzzing with excitement.

Britain has held a service at Westminster Abbey in London to mark the eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. The King and Queen and Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer attended. Other European capitals are holding their own events. Also in the programme: there's been two inconclusive votes by Cardinals this morning on who will succeed Pope Francis; India and Pakistan have accused each other of mounting drone attacks, including on targets far from the disputed region of Kashmir; and the American academic and policymaker Joseph Nye, who coined the phrase "soft power", has died aged 88.(Picture: King Charles III speaks to a veteran at the end of the Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey in London on the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Today, we're sitting down with our friend Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire to talk about all things Catholicism. He explains the current papal conclave and the process to elect a new pope, and he breaks down the most likely candidates for the position. We also talk about the controversy online surrounding the recent post by President Trump of an AI-generated image of himself as the pope. True to form, the Left just couldn't resist being hypocrites about it. And we discuss a recent state law that would require Catholic priests to break the sacrament of confession and what this means for the church.

Wednesday, May 7th marks the beginning of the conclave – the Catholic Church's process of electing the next pope. Conclaves have traditionally been portrayed in our culture as shrouded in intrigue and back-room politicking. But, as theology expert Dr. Joseph Capizzi shows us, the 2000-year-old tradition is not that mysterious. He walks us through how cardinals elect a new pope, the political considerations they use to evaluate candidates, and how the Pope's power in the world has changed over millennia. He evaluates the legacy and controversy surrounding Pope Francis. He explains why the Catholic Church is growing in Africa, Asia, and among young American men. They end with a discussion of how Christian moral theology evolved to address, and ultimately reject, the practice of slavery.   Dr. Joseph Capizzi is the Dean of Theology and Religious Studies at The Catholic University of America. He teaches in the areas of social and political theology, with a special interest in peace and war, citizenship, political authority, and Augustinian theology.

Conclave starts tomorrow lets go girls!!! This week the gang goes Catholic as we dive into the life of the recently departed sweetie pie Pope Francis. From his early days of doing science to his later years of writing letters and popeing he was an interesting character and a twist on the standard popal situation.  WE'RE BACK ON TOUR May 16: London  May 18: Dublin June 14: New York  If you want to host a CMBC meetup here's a meetup 101 packet to help you plan!
