About this episode
Pope Francis passed away from a stroke Monday morning at the Vatican at the age of 88 years old, his last public appearance being on Easter Sunday at St. Peter’s Square. Around the globe, Catholics now mourn the death of Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, who leaves behind a legacy of humility and unity. Theologian and FOX News contributor Jonathan Morris joins the Rundown to reflect on how history will remember Pope Francis, his impact on the Catholic Church, and the conclave soon to take place. President Donald Trump continues to face more and more resistance from Democrats, over three months after returning to office. Several blue states have challenged some of the president's actions in court, yet they face an uphill battle in Congress, where Republicans hold the majority. Democrats don't have the votes to block Republicans from passing a massive budget bill that cannot be filibustered in the Senate. Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the budget battle, controversial deportations, and the passing of Pope Francis. Plus, commentary by Copenhagen Consensus President and 'Best Things First' author, Bjorn Lomborg. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
