First, the Vatican chose a Bulwark pope, not an AR-15 loving, immigrant-hating pope. Then, in a major blow to Steve Bannon, Trump pulled his nominee for U.S. attorney in D.C.—forcing the avid TV watcher in the Oval Office to turn to Fox News for the 23rd time to help fill his administration—this time with Jeanine Pirro. And in the North Carolina Supreme Court race, the Stop the Steal candidate finally conceded to his Democratic opponent seven months late. Plus, Trump is acting like a Soviet central planner, the reconciliation bill fight is starting to look ugly, and the economy proves yet again that it does not lie. Amanda Carpenter joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Hello and welcome to the Bulwark Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. One quick note, once again, for the Bulwark Takes podcast feed. There's just so much crazy shit happening in the world, you know, and I taped a podcast yesterday morning on the protests, which I thought was very cute and important and a change of pace for what we're doing around here often.
And then, you know, two minutes later, we have an American Pope that's crapped on JD Vance. So me and JVL got on our house Catholic, you know, our house Catholic and good standing at least. And so, you know, if you wanted a quick response to what's happening when crazy stuff happens, just go ahead and make sure to download the Borg takes feed.
And if you missed it yesterday, go listen to JVL because he's really great on this stuff. But we're going to do a little bit more on the Pope right here today. For those of you who are patient, who can wait 24 hours in this world, that's a good practice. And we've got a good guest for it.
It's my old friend, a writer and editor at Protect Democracy and contributor to If You Can Keep It on Substack. It's Amanda Carpenter. What's up, Amanda?
Hey, happy Friday. Are we all feeling a little Catholic this morning?
