Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melburgh, and we're tracking several developments, including around the world.

We have now the first American-born Pope that follows a progressive pontiff there,

and we are going to track what that means for everyone coming up. You have Catholics and many others celebrating today.

We have that coming up later in the hour. Also later, Trump actually becoming his own worst enemy, as his words are quoted back to the lawyers trying to defend some of the deportation cases in that uphill battle. It is not going well. And we're looking at how what he says in public is haunting him in court. We begin, though, with the markets. We've had these recession

20%, a fifth of their total profits, all because of Donald Trump's decision to stick to these

tariffs. So it's not going well by all of those measurable ways to look at it. The American

businesses that we hear from, small, medium, and large,

say the tariffs are bad. Most governments view this as a kind of a very Trumpian specific escalation,

not something that was inevitable or the normal course of trade this year, just something that Trump

barreled right into. In fact, when I show you 75% of Americans concerned about the tariffs, you have to look
