Tariffs are working so well that even the new pope is “Made in America”
Chicago‑born Cardinal Robert Prevost took the name Pope Leo XIV as white smoke billowed over Rome, and we dissected what his Midwest roots might mean for the Church and the geopolitical chessboard. Back home, Judge Jeanine Pirro got the call‑up as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., while a mistrial in the Christopher Schurr case left Grand Rapids on edge and protestors chanting for “justice for Patrick.” On the economic front, Trump inked a fresh UK trade pact, hinted at trimming China tariffs, and sounded the alarm on Beijing’s university infiltration, all as Whitmer’s Michigan posted the nation’s fastest‑rising jobless claims and flirted with new business taxes. Add in India‑Pakistan saber‑rattling, a literal earth‑shaker from Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” and a rapid‑fire reel of D.C. power plays—from Kudlow to Vance—and you’ve got today’s show in a nutshell.
