1:01:04Now PlayingThe Hill's Bill Sammon and Chris Stirewalt break down the rising influence of faith in American politics — from JD Vance and Catholic integralism to Trump’s clashes with the Pope.
Plus, they react to the breaking news of Iran re-opening the Strait of Hormuz and what it could mean for Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump appears to be starting a push for Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas to consider retirement for the Supreme Court so he can appoint their replacement.
Finally, a couple viewers ask Bill and Chris their own questions!
