The leader of the United States is feuding with the leader of the Catholic Church. President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Pope Leo over the latter's criticisms of the war against Iran. President Trump called Pope Leo "weak on crime," said he should “get his act together as Pope" and that the only reason he was in the Vatican is because Trump won the 2024 election. Since then, he has said he is not engaged in a fight with the Pope, but has the "right to disagree with” him. Christopher White, the associate director of Georgetown University's Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and author of "Pope Leo XIV: Inside the Conclave and the Dawn of a New Papacy," joined "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss.

The parents of Maoz Inon, an Israeli peace activist, were killed by Hamas on October 7th. Days later, Palestinian peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah, who was just 10 when his older brother was killed by Israeli soldiers, texted Inon his condolences.

Together, they both spent eight days on a journey throughout Israel and the West Bank, traveling through both of their pasts, viewing the state of present day, and trying to work toward a future of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. They wrote the book "The Future Is Peace" about their journey, and joined "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former Olympian Ryan Wedding, who sat on the FBI’s most wanted list since March of 2025, was apprehended in Mexico, officials announced on Friday. Law enforcement officials alleged Wedding, who competed for Team Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics, was the ringleader of a transnational drug trafficking operation that shipped approximately 60 tons of cocaine a year from Colombia through Mexico, California, and Canada. Officials further claimed that he also played a part in orchestrating the murders of multiple people – including a government witness. FBI Director Kash Patel said Wedding “went from Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco-trafficker in modern times.” Wedding is currently in U.S. custody and faces charges related to drug trafficking, money laundering, murder, and witness tampering. Attorney Chris Melcher joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss.

Kate Crane had what she described as a normal childhood growing up in Baltimore with her parents and sister — but that changed in an instant the day her father vanished. Eddy Crane, who owned a trucking business with his former best friend, always called home to say he was leaving work, and then he would show shortly after, like clockwork — until he never walked through the door again. Her father went missing when Kate was 12, but from the moment her mother told her on that September morning in 1987 her father didn’t come home, Kate felt in her bones he was dead. As the days turned into months, and eventually years, few questions were answered, and mentions of Eddy Crane and the investigation into what happened to him were fleeting. This tragedy loomed large over Kate’s life, but as the 20th anniversary of Eddy Crane’s disappearance neared, she felt that she had to do something. In 2007, she was a journalist in New York City, and began an investigation of her own to find the answers to questions that have haunted her since childhood. Kate Crane, author of ‘What Ever Happened To Eddy Crane,’ joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss her memoir.

Follow Forbes True Crime The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has stretched into its second month. The mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie went missing from her Tucson home over 60 days ago. Authorities know that her doorbell camera was disconnected in the early hours of February 1st, and 41 minutes later, her pacemaker app was disconnected from her phone. Ten days into her disappearance, authorities seemed to catch a break when recovered Google Nest footage showed what appeared to be an armed and masked suspect outside of her door the morning of her disappearance, tampering with the doorbell camera. But over 60 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared, she still hasn’t been found and no suspects have publicly been named. Dr. Raymond Carr, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the status of the case.

Follow Forbes Newsroom President Donald Trump announced the U.S. and Iran reached a temporary ceasefire on Tuesday night, less than two hours before his self-imposed deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or "a whole civilization will die." Just one day later, Iran on Wednesday accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire agreement and reportedly announced it closed the Strait of Hormuz. The White House said that what Iran is saying publicly about the closure is different what they are telling the Trump administration privately. Clayton Allen, the head of Eurasia Group's U.S. practice, joined "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss the "fragile" state of the ceasefire. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
