Summary

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman pulled out all the stops to welcome President Trump, some Republicans have expressed concern about Trump accepting a $400 million luxury airplane from Qatar, and fans of the New York Knicks are speculating that Pope Leo XIV supports their team. Bestselling author and longtime chaplain of Colbert Nation, Father James Martin, has met Pope Leo XIV and predicts that he will be an outspoken pontiff. Father Martin’s latest book, “Come Forth: The Promise of Jesus’s Greatest Miracle,” is out now. Emmy-winner Alexander Skarsgård tells Stephen that his father Stellan loved to embarrass his teenage son by dancing naked at their house when he brought friends home. Watch the premiere of “Murderbot” this Friday on AppleTV+.
