Chapter 1: Who is the new American Pope and why is it significant?
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here, live from the Bitcoin.com studio. Hey everybody, there is a new pope, and he is American. What?! That's right, shocking the world. From Chicago, Illinois, we pull his voting history. We talk about that in this episode, so listen carefully. We also talk about some of the controversies. He's attacked J.D. Vance. He attacked President Trump. What does he believe?
We walk through all of that here in this episode. So listen to it in its entirety. We have a new American pope from Chicago. Of course, I'm from Chicago, so I'm rather partial. But boy, I know what they believe in Chicago. So we've got to be careful. What does this mean for the country and for the kingdom?

Here have some amazing breaking news. President Donald Trump was in the Oval Office early this morning, earlier than usual, announcing a historic and record trade deal with the UK.
President Donald Trump, as you know, has been embarking on a new path for American trade. And this is where all the experts were wrong about President Trump. And they were all wrong about what he was doing. You see, he was not only using tariffs to try and raise revenue for the federal government.
He was not just only using tariffs as a way to try to encourage American investment and manufacturing, both of which are happening. But instead, he invented the tariff as a third thing, as a negotiating tool. Now, mind you, what was announced today is something that Joe Biden was never able to do. Barack Obama was never able to do.
The United Kingdom, despite being a very close ally of the United States, was a very closed economy. And listening carefully to what President Trump announced today, we're going to play a lot of this tape. It was very clear what President Trump's mentality is when it comes to trade.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the new UK trade deal?
So definitely— As we like to do now, we check the odds, and of course there was betting odds. Is there a betting odds market? Yeah, there were betting odds on the Pope. You're kidding me. What has happened is with the fast conclave, the odds that it was Cardinal Parolin, I don't know how you say these things, that went up. As I told you, he's kind of the centric, he's like the boring pick.
He would be the sort of, let's not shake anything up too much guy. Choice, and it's very possible you got that if you got a pick on.
This is probably I think only the fourth ballot, so you probably didn't have any dramatic swerves to a dark horse candidate out of nowhere if you're only going three or four ballots that might have been, you know, one or two to shake out very unlikely contenders and then we have two thirds. There we go. Of course, this could all be proven wrong in a matter of minutes.
So but that is if you're getting one out very quickly, it's probably they were able to pretty quickly have the different wings of the church agree on some sort of sometimes they'll say compromise pick or just consensus pick or a choice who's not going to rock the boat too much in one direction or the other.
John, what comment do you have on this? Can you also speak to the international aspect here? I'm seeing flags from all over the planet. Talk about how there are people from all over the world that are gathering at St. Peter's Basilica and Square.
There are, and this kind of builds on Lila's point. I mean, yes, on the fundamental issues of faith and morality, the Pope's not going to err. But the reality is the following. We did have a Pope. who caused scandal in the last pontificate, 100%. So why am I saying that now? Because we have a duty like St. Paul in the book of Galatians.
He addressed Peter to his face when Peter on a prudential issue was going against ultimately what the Lord wanted. And Paul stood up to him. And that's the role. So it's not a slam dunk that we're going to get this amazing all-star representative of the Lord Jesus on that loggia. It could be quite the opposite. I'm telling you right now.
Because, you know, newsflash, there are serious worldly influences who are trying to make their presence felt in this conclave. You have, first of all, you have President Macron, who was here for the funeral of Pope Francis. He met up with five different French cardinals, and he pretty much got his hand slapped and said, like, back off. Like, stop. Because, you know, he had his pick in mind.
Then you have the Chinese Communist Party. they have a fantastic deal going on right now with the Vatican where the Vatican gave them, you know, the ability to choose bishops. There was probably some cashflow between the two entities. So you got to believe it that the CCP has their, has their pick. So this is not a slam dunk.

Chapter 3: How did the Vatican conclave unfold and what does it mean?
We ask the Heavenly Father right now to bless Christians around this world in this moment for the universal church. We ask Christians... to renew their love for the Lord. And may he bless us right now. Bless Robert Prevost and his role as Pope of Catholics around the world.
And we ask that Our Lady be close to him and ultimately keep us centered on what truly matters, reaching heaven and bringing people there with us. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord, amen.
Amen. Thank you, John. Thank you, Frank. And Blake, we'll wrap this up in about 30 seconds. Thank you, guys. And there is a new pope. It is Leo XIV, right? Leo XIV. Pope Leo XIV from Chicago. I've got to wear my Cubs hat tomorrow. And he is a registered Republican who votes in Republican primaries. The primary is the key.
If he was like faking it, he wouldn't vote in the Republican primaries in Chicago. That's like you would not do that unless you actually believe it. So he might be a single issue pro-life voter, which honestly would be, you know, not the worst thing. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always. Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com.
