Who is Charlie Kirk and what is the episode about?
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here, live from the Bitcoin.com studio. Why are they going after Pete Hegseth so aggressively? It's not because he's failing. It's actually because he's succeeding. We also have Michael Knowles to walk us through what does it mean to select a new pope. For those of us that are not Catholic, it was a very informative discussion. And finally, I close this episode out with something... about the Catholic Church that we evangelicals need to take seriously. We Protestants need to take seriously. Listen carefully. Text it to your friends. Because I'll be honest, I just don't like going to a Sam's Club to worship. I think there is something to say about making our churches as beautiful as possible.

Of course, the breaking news that happened over the evening, over the night, I should say, late last night and early morning in Rome, the news was announced that Pope Francis has died. This is monumental news. I was reflecting. I have only lived through three popes. I have lived for 31 years and I've only lived through three popes.
We have, of course, I was born and John Paul II was pope and then Pope Benedict and now Pope Francis. He was pope for 12 years. He was the first pope from the Americas. He tended to be a little bit questionable at times on some of his things. Let's just say social justice perspectives, but I'm not Catholic. We do have Michael Knowles that's going to join us in the program to discuss this and the significance of it. The College of Cardinals will assemble after, of course, the funeral of Pope Francis. And Pope Francis certainly caused a lot of heartburn to Catholics in America. And so we're going to talk about the geopolitical significance of this, because remember, John Paul II, was incredibly effective at fighting communism. I would love to see the next pope, whomever that is. maybe a pope from Africa or a pope from Asia or a pope from wherever, have the same sort of moral clarity that John Paul II had against totalitarian Marxism. We'll discuss that later in the hour. But first, breaking yesterday on Easter Sunday was another attack on American patriot Pete Hegseth.
The New York Times launched a massive attack on the front page right here. Defense head said to send war plan to second group. Hex says family members and lawyer are linked to encrypted chat. There's a lot going on here, some of which I can talk about publicly, some of which I cannot talk about publicly. Let's talk about the essence of it. They're criticizing Pete Hegseth for sending war plans, again, in a Signal group chat. Now, he denies this. It looks like it's total and complete BS. We know that there were not war plans being sent. They're trying to take out Pete Hegseth, and that really goes down to what's going on here. They're not attacking Pete Hegseth because he's failing. They're attacking Pete Hegseth because he's succeeding. Here's what they won't talk about. You see, it's not that Pete Hegseth is a disaster of a secretary of defense. Quite the opposite. He's already succeeding in the metrics that matter most from building a lethal fighting force. And we must ask the question throughout, coy bono. We ask this question a lot.
