SHOCKING NEWS TONIGHT GOING TO GET THE BIG CELEBRITY
FEUD EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: DONALD TRUMP VERSUS THE POPE.
AND AS AMERICA'S FOREMOST CATHOLIC, LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT
HAPPENED.
THE POPE IS IN MEXICO RIGHT NOW, WHERE HE WAS ASKED ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP'S PLAN TO BUILD A BORDER WALL.
AND HIS HOLINESS SAID, QUOTE: "A PERSON WHO THINKS ONLY ABOUT
BUILDING WALLS WHEREVER THEY MAY BE AND NOT OF BUILDING BRIDGES
IS NOT CHRISTIAN.
THIS MAN IS NOT CHRISTIAN IF HE HAS SAID THINGS LIKE THAT."
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) THEN TRUMP'S OKAY BECAUSE HE
HAS NOT SAID THINGS LIKE THAT.
HE HAS SAID EXACTLY THAT.
(LAUGHTER) OKAY.
BECAUSE TRUMP WANTS TO BUILD A WALL AROUND THIS COUNTRY.
I WONDER WHERE HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A CRAZY IDEA LIKE THAT.
MAYBE THE VATICAN?!
(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE)
BOOM!
>> PLACES (APPLAUSE)
I AM IN TROUBLE.
(LAUGHTER) OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP
RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY.
>> SO THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT FED THE POPE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
STUFF ABOUT "TRUMP IS NOT A GOOD PERSON."
AND THE POPE JUST-- CAN YOU IMAGINE?
I JUST GOT A CALL, AS I'M WALKING UP HERE.
THEY SAID, "MR. TRUMP, THE POPE MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT YOU."
I SAID, "THE POPE?
WHAT DID THE POPE SAY?" I LIKE THE POPE.
I MEAN, WAS IT GOOD OR BAD?
BECAUSE IF IT'S GOOD, I LIKE THE POPE.
IF IT'S BAD, I DON'T LIKE THE POPE.
>> STEPHEN: YOU'VE GOT TO RESPECT HIS HONESTY.
IT IS LIKE JESUS SAID, "BLESSED ARE THE POOR, UNLESS THEY SAID
SOMETHING BAD ABOUT ME, THEN SCREW 'EM."
(LAUGHTER) (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
I WANT TO TRY TO BROKER A PEACE.
MR. TRUMP, MR. POPE, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU GUYS ARE
FIGHTING BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON?
AFTER ALL, YOU BOTH THINK YOU'RE INFALLIBLE.
YOU BOTH SIT ON GOLDEN THRONES AND YOU BOTH WEAR VERY SILLY
THINGS ON YOUR HEADS.
(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE)
OF COURSE, TRUMP HAD TO HAVE THE LAST WORD.
>> SO I WROTE THIS OUT VERY QUICKLY ABOUT THE POPE.
DO YOU WANT TO HEAR IT?
>> STEPHEN: NOT REALLY.
