(Note: This episode is from Tonight with Dr. Steve's special Thursday livestream.)

A historic chapter begins in the Catholic Church as Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, a Chicago-born American, becomes Pope Leo XIV, marking the first time in history that the papacy has crossed the Atlantic. Beyond the ceremonial awe and international celebration, deep tensions now face the new pontiff: modernist leadership versus a growing traditionalist laity. We’ll see the symbolic, political, and theological significance of Pope Leo XIV’s election, the Vatican’s financial strategies, and the global rise of religious re-traditionalization.

In the second part of this episode, we dive deep into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s “Less Generals, More GIs” policy and what it means for the future of U.S. military readiness. With my guest, Lt. Col. (Ret.) R. Davis Younts, we explore the bloated command structure, the historical shift in officer-to-troop ratios, and whether these reforms go far enough to restore efficiency, morale, and operational strength in our armed forces.

The media may be in meltdown mode, but the numbers and the people tell a different story. Trump’s bold economic strategies, including the potential elimination of income tax and the strategic use of tariffs, are reshaping how Americans think about financial freedom. While legacy media pushes fear and resistance, financial insiders and everyday citizens are seeing real signs of growth and optimism. I am joined by expert Charles DeLadurantey to expose the cracks in the media narrative and lay out the tools for reclaiming control of your financial future.

In this episode, I talk about the growing crisis of legitimacy that’s engulfing America’s institutions - from the media to the justice system. With trust in public officials at an all-time low, the Trump administration’s expected release of the Biden-Hur tapes could blow open years of media cover-ups. I also take a hard look at Bernie Sanders’ exposed hypocrisy and how both the political and media elite are facing the collapse of their carefully crafted personas.

Highlights:

• “We are experiencing a profound crisis of trust and confidence with virtually every single public institution, our government, our legacy media, our justice system, you name it.”
• “The legacy media knew they got a puppet elected, and they knew that if the truth ever got out - if the real state of Biden’s failing mental faculties ever got out, having been covered up deliberately by the legacy media for years - they knew that would shatter whatever was left of their already fractured credibility.”
• “You don’t get rich in Washington, DC, like Bernie has, without playing the game. And he’s a champion.”
