ENOUGH: Pope Leo's Game Needs to Be EXPOSED | 5/4/26

Steve Deace's episode of The Steve Dace Show on May 4, 2026, delivers a blistering critique of Pope Leo's appointment of Ivelio Manevar Ayala—a former undocumented immigrant—as Bishop of West Virginia. Deace frames the appointment as a politically motivated act of 'shoehorning' open-border ideology into the Church, accusing the Pope of using the Church as a platform for progressive political messaging. He contrasts this with the country's current reality—marked by soaring national debt, demographic shifts, and declining social mobility—arguing that the era of sympathetic immigration cases has passed. Deace also launches a scathing deconstruction of Tucker Carlson’s recent New York Times interview, portraying him as a deconstructing figure whose rhetoric now includes dangerous claims of Trump being a warlock and the Antichrist, while dismissing evidence with gaslighting tactics. He warns that Carlson’s attacks on white evangelical voters—essential to the conservative coalition—are self-sabotaging. The episode concludes with a powerful segment on Senator Ron Johnson’s investigation into the CDC’s suppression of vaccine safety signals, revealing that officials ignored clear warnings about the COVID-19 vaccine’s risks, including a flawed algorithm that masked serious adverse events. Deace calls for accountability and frames the entire episode as a warning against complacency in the face of cultural and institutional decay.
