## Resource

Steve says Trump's polemics against Pope Leo are a trap and that attacking a symbol like Leo (woke as he is) is bound to fail. Then Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) joins the program to provide an update on what Republicans in D.C. are doing and how his Texas AG race is faring. In Hour Two, Steve fields questions from his audience on X for Ask Deace Anything.
