pope and donald trump? >> well, you know, i want to piggyback on what mr. trump said. i really think it's sad for the mexican government to really use the holy father as a pawn. again, the pope only receiving one part of a conversation of the mexican government is consistently using propaganda, such as bringing in the holy father himself to outmaneuver, outrank -- outmaneuver the united states' government and the leadership that we currently have. i mean, the bible throughout the scriptures lists over and over again the building of walls. i'm a little perplexed for the pope to say one who is building walls would be unchristian when in reality, the vatican itself is 100% covered around a wall. the book chapter 2, verse 17, makes it clear that -- see the bad situation you're in, come and let us build a wall. chapter 6, verse number 16. the bible of bible says that when enemies heard that a wall was being built, they were afraid. that the work was done by the lord. so for me to hear the pope declare that building a wall is -- anyone who builds walls is not a christian, i'm

the pope is big league. they said mr. trump, the pope just made a big statement about you. this is, like, eight hours before the election. i say -- took a deep breath. is it good? or is it bad? they said mr. trump, it's really bad. i said, oh, this can only happen to me. the pope is hitting me just before the election in south carolina. i said what is it? he didn't like the idea that you're building a wall and that you're going to wall off the united states from mexico. i said, yeah, but he doesn't understand tremendous criminal elements are coming in. tremendous drugs are pouring in. people are coming into the country illegally. he doesn't understand that. we have to explain it to the pope. he's not hearing that side of it. they said, no, it's very serious. so the pope came out with a nasty statement. here's the good news. he corrected the statement the following day. just in time. in just time. in just time. that was a close one. that was a close one. now i like the pope again. okay? but with this guy fox, i watch the anger in his face, and he was really angry at the fact
