It's Monday, April 28th, 2025. Pope Francis laid to rest.

Scott Bessent says we're making progress on deals and a prominent Epstein accuser is dead by suicide.

Come on now.

Next on the AM update.

Pope Francis has been laid to rest in Rome's St. Mary Major Basilica.

Vatican over the weekend. Back at home, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant says there's a double

standard he's seeing in the media. When I look at the sum of the things that are being published, there was a story 10

Ten days later, the NASDAQ is now up in the month of April. And I haven't seen a story that says,

oh, stock market has biggest bounce back ever.

So I think it certainly has gone back and forth.

I think a lot of this is media driven.

So Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary, calling out the media for their incredible double standard.

Keep in mind that comment later on in the episode when I talk about David Sacks in his commentary on a dirty little secret
