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.

We’ll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II.

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. They seek the violent overthrow of America - they are at war with us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
