Recorded on 04/21/2025. In this episode of Conservative Conversations, Reid and Frank reflect on the sudden passing of Pope Francis, who died just after celebrating Easter. They discuss the unique role of the Camerlengo, currently filled by American-born Kevin Joseph Farrell, and explore the rare historical precedent of Camerlengos ascending to the papacy. The conversation takes a turn toward the political with commentary on a recent speech by former President Joe Biden, raising questions about whether his appearances are driven by ego or party handlers. Later, they shift focus to Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace, calling out her public outburst caught on video and considering how some figures on the right may be drifting into activist-style behavior reminiscent of their left-wing counterparts. The hosts critique the symbolic stunts performed in politics today, including performative feminism and media-driven spectacles, and urge elected officials—especially those on their own side—to be civil, act like representatives, and remember they’re always on camera. Be sure to listen to hear what they have to say, and stick around for the exclusive segment available to paid subscribers via RedCircle.
