I think if we're going to get a pope, we should have an American woke pope from Chicago. That seems great, especially one who hates J.D.

He's a bulwark pope. Yeah, a lot of people posted that. It's so weird. They claim that they – I saw love into the T for trademark. I mean like judging wokeness on a Pope scale, right? Like the Pope is going to have a series of views that we do not love on abortion, LGBTQ rights, all of those things. But the fact that he has leaned so hard and very recently into –

A humane view of immigration, how we treat migrants that is in direct opposition to how Trump is doing it seems very positive for what is true, like obviously a major political issue in this country, but a global issue for the next generation. And also just enjoyable that the MAGA right is going bananas about this. They're so upset. They're so angry.

Because we talked this morning when we first, before we saw the tweets, we were like, when is Trump going to take credit for an American pope? And now his base is freaking out about the woke pope. It's so funny.

And as someone who likes to pick a Twitter fight with J.D. Vance, you probably feel some affinity with this pope.

Huh, interesting.

Yeah. Is Pink Pope Club... You're all singing it now. Is Pink Pope Club an official episode title?

Well, I hate to disagree with Mr. Lutnick here, but they did not get this done in three weeks. This deal has been under some form of discussion since Trump was president that first time. It's not particularly related to Liberation Day. It's not a deal. It's at best a framework of a deal. It's maybe a – to borrow a phrase from Trump, a concept of a deal. Like we have some outlines.

We don't know when it's going into effect. Nothing's been signed. But the things to know here are – Trump's completely ass-backward, asinine understanding of global trade suggests that if you have a trade – the United States has a trade deficit with that country, then we are losing somehow. We have a trade surplus with the UK. We are winning in this scenario.

So it's like what – this is not – like if theoretically there's more we can open up – like one of the things in here is they're raising the quota on US beef going to the UK. That's fine. That's like a totally fine normal thing. This is not going to change very much at all. The fact that it's the UK is very telling because as I mentioned, it's a deal that's been worked on for years.

It's also our closest ally with a special relationship with a very meager trading relationship. So it's a pretty easy deal to get done if you're looking to show – some victory. And Letnick is celebrating that the 10% tariffs are on there. What he's doing, he's celebrating the continued 10% tax that American people will pay on goods coming from the UK, unless you buy Rolls Royce.
