Candace Owens Slams Trump's Attacks on Pope Leo and His AI-Generated Photo as Jesus

[00:00] He is He is nothing like Jesus Christ.

[00:03] In fact, Trump is not even a Christian.

[00:05] Trump is very clearly under demonic

[00:07] influence. I think Paula White probably

[00:08] put a spell on him of some sort. I mean,

[00:11] he is surrounded by ironically the very

[00:14] thing that he accuses me and Megan and

[00:15] Tucker of being because we're calling

[00:17] for peace. We're calling for peace and

[00:20] he's like these people are nut jobs and

[00:22] then he has people like Laura Loomer who

[00:24] have has been forcibly placed on psych

[00:26] 5150 holds as his number one advisor.

[00:29] She's like I'm advising him he's like

[00:29] Paula White who's telling him he's akin

[00:31] to Jesus Christ which is absolutely

[00:33] blasphemous and he thinks these people

[00:35] are totally sane. Again, very scary to

[00:37] be that far in the cave. He is so in the

[00:40] cave. He is so convinced of his own

[00:43] invincibility. It is completely unhinged

[00:48] that he was deeply upset by the Pope

[00:51] telling him the truth. The Catholic

[00:52] perspective is that this is an unjust

[00:55] war because it is. Obviously, okay, you

[00:58] can't just decide that you want to take

[01:00] things from Iran or rather not decide

[01:02] but BB tells you you're going to take

[01:04] things from Iran and then you just do it

[01:05] and you put American lives at risk. It's

[01:06] unjust unjust even honestly if you if

[01:09] you remove Catholicism, it's just unjust

[01:12] in general. It's morally contemptible

[01:13] what you are doing in the Middle East,

[01:16] okay?

[01:17] And forget the part that you went

[01:19] against every single one of your

[01:20] promises

[01:22] betrayed your base betrayed the people

[01:24] that were out there trying to get votes

[01:26] for you betrayed

[01:28] the Charlie Kirk who betrayed Megyn

[01:31] Kelly betrayed Tucker Carlson you

[01:33] betrayed me. I I just you know could not

[01:36] care less. I am very happy to die with

[01:39] my soul intact. And [snorts]

[01:41] now you have him just swinging at the

[01:43] Pope swinging at the Pope. This is what

[01:45] he said on X and his excuse is amazing.

[01:48] He said Pope Leo is weak on crime. Like

[01:51] this is not a tweet. We're not talking

[01:52] about Hillary Clinton.

[01:54] Okay? He's talking about the Pope. He's

[01:56] not running against the Pope.

[01:57] Pope Leo is weak on crime terrible for

[02:00] foreign policy. He talks about fear of

[02:02] the Trump administration but doesn't

[02:04] mention the fear that the Catholic

[02:06] Church and all other Christian

[02:07] organizations had during COVID. What?

[02:10] When they were arresting priests

[02:11] ministers and everybody else. Why would

[02:13] he talk about that?

[02:15] He's that's not happening right now.

[02:16] What?

[02:18] He wants him again to take time machine

[02:19] and talk about what's going on in 2021.

[02:20] Okay. He goes on.

[02:23] I like his brother Louis much better

[02:24] than I like him. Oh, okay because Louis

[02:27] is all mega. He gets it and Leo doesn't.

[02:29] I don't want a Pope who thinks it's okay

[02:31] for Iran to have a nuclear weapon

[02:34] for the last 25 years according to Bibi

[02:36] Netanyahu. I don't want a Pope who

[02:37] thinks it's terrible that America

[02:39] attacked Venezuela a country that was

[02:41] sending massive amounts of drugs into

[02:43] the United States and even worse

[02:44] emptying their prisons including

[02:45] murderers drug dealers and killers into

[02:47] our country and I don't want a Pope who

[02:49] criticizes

[02:51] the president of the United States

[02:53] because I'm doing exactly what I was

[02:54] elected in a landslide to do setting

[02:56] record low numbers in crime and creating

[02:59] the greatest stock market in history.

[03:01] Leo should be thankful because as as

[03:04] everyone knows he was a shocking

[03:07] surprise. He was not any list to be Pope

[03:09] and was only put there by the church

[03:10] because he was an American and they

[03:12] thought that that would be the best way

[03:14] to deal with President Donald J. Trump.

[03:18] If I wasn't in the White House, Leo

[03:20] wouldn't be in the Vatican.

[03:23] I'm sorry.

[03:24] What?

[03:27] Look, I'm not here to pretend that I'm a

[03:30] theologian that I've been Catholic for a

[03:32] long time but

[03:34] is that what goes on in conclave? Are do

[03:36] the Cardinals arrive and they go, oh,

[03:39] well, we were going to do our thing but

[03:40] like what really matters is Trump's

[03:42] president. We want to make sure that we

[03:44] can deal with Trump. So we're just going

[03:46] to make up somebody from Chicago. That

[03:47] feels like the right thing cuz he's got

[03:48] a Trump Tower in Chicago. Like is that

[03:50] what he thinks happened?

[03:52] That he had

[03:54] all of these Cardinals arrive and this

[03:56] was the discussion as people waited for

[03:58] white smoke outside that that is what

[04:01] was happening on the inside. You cannot

[04:04] be

[04:05] that narcissistic.

[04:07] Can you?

[04:08] Can you?

[04:12] I think he is.

[04:13] I think I think

[04:14] that's what Laura Loomer said to him. I

[04:16] think that is she text him and she's

[04:18] telling him the truth and she's like

[04:19] he wouldn't even be Pope if it wasn't

[04:22] for you. She's like been very borderline

[04:24] lately. Like she's like feels like she

[04:26] should probably be put on another hold

[04:28] but like she's still out there tweeting

[04:30] crazy things. I feel like that's what

[04:32] Paula White said to him like in a couple

[04:33] of her her blasphemous prayers of like

[04:35] she's like the the Catholic Church

[04:37] should thank you for Pope Leo the 14th.

[04:39] What?

[04:41] What? Is everybody okay? No one around

[04:44] him is okay.

[04:45] And I'm making fun of it but I want to

[04:47] be clear that he is truly and I do not

[04:50] say this to be extra. I do not say this

[04:53] to be performative. He is truly under

[04:55] demonic influence. You see that in the

[04:57] prayers and you know, I have to say

[05:00] respectfully it was definitely something

[05:03] which I I I am hopeful and please

[05:07] forgive me if I'm out of line here but

[05:09] I'm hopeful that more Cardinals more

[05:11] more princes of the church will speak

[05:13] out against the role that some of our

[05:16] bishops have had in this in

[05:19] I think some of them have gone gone too

[05:20] political. A Bishop Barron standing

[05:22] beside Paula White during that prayer

[05:25] and his excuse is why I was there well

[05:26] then you should make a statement after

[05:28] and say this is wrong.

[05:30] This is wrong. I I didn't mean to be I

[05:32] didn't know what she was going to say

[05:33] when she prayed but what she said was

[05:36] wrong and it was blasphemous and no

[05:38] Trump this is Easter and Trump has

[05:40] nothing to do.

[05:42] He is He is nothing like Jesus Christ.

[05:45] In fact, Trump is not even a Christian.

[05:48] And so there is a role here that I think

[05:52] the Catholic Church needs to step in a

[05:53] real in a really big way. I think there

[05:55] are are too many TV bishops

[05:58] too many TV pastors too many people that

[06:02] have turned

[06:03] um

[06:04] you know, what it means to be a

[06:06] Christian into reality TV frankly. You

[06:09] know, you you you can you can wear the

[06:12] clerical robes and be presenting

[06:14] yourself as something totally different.

[06:16] There there there needs to be a and

[06:19] there has been thus far a very severe

[06:21] reaction

[06:22] just all across the faith everybody

[06:24] every Catholic bishop every Catholic

[06:27] cardinal but Catholics in general

[06:29] we can't we you can't support Trump. You

[06:31] can't you cannot support Trump in this

[06:32] moment and

[06:34] I have to say um

[06:36] His Holiness was very precise in how he

[06:39] responded to the attacks. If we could

[06:41] just pull up that video of

[06:43] what

[06:44] he had to say. Take a listen.

[06:46] I basically said that uh

[06:49] the message of the church

[06:51] my message the message of the gospel

[06:53] blessed are the peacemakers.

[06:56] I do not look at my role as being

[06:57] political politician. I

[07:01] don't want to get into a debate with

[07:02] him. I don't think that the message of

[07:04] the gospel is meant to be abused in the

[07:06] way that some people are doing.

[07:09] And and I will continue to speak out

[07:10] loudly against war hoping to promote

[07:13] peace promoting dialogue and

[07:15] multilateral relationships among the

[07:18] states to look for just solutions to

[07:20] problems. Too many people are suffering

[07:21] in the world today. Too many innocent

[07:23] people are being killed and I think

[07:25] someone has to stand up and say

[07:27] there's a better way to

[07:30] Now let's cut to what Trump had to say

[07:32] when he was asked about why he attacked

[07:35] the Pope. Take a listen.

[07:37] Why did you attack Pope Leo on Truth

[07:39] Social?

[07:40] Uh

[07:41] I don't think he's doing a very good

[07:43] job. He likes crime I guess. He

[07:46] He hit us think of it.

[07:49] He's worried about fear. What about the

[07:50] fear when

[07:52] the ministers and the priests and the

[07:56] all of those great people that were

[07:58] arrested during COVID

[08:00] and in many cases they're outside 10

[08:02] feet apart and they were arrested. So we

[08:05] don't like it. We don't like a Pope

[08:08] that's going to say that it's okay to

[08:09] have a nuclear weapon.

[08:11] We don't want a Pope that says crime is

[08:13] okay in our cities. I don't like it. I'm

[08:16] not a big fan of Pope Leo.

[08:18] He's a very liberal person

[08:20] and he's a man that doesn't believe in

[08:22] stopping crime. He's a man that doesn't

[08:24] think that

[08:26] we should be

[08:28] toying with a country that wants a

[08:30] nuclear weapon so they can blow up the

[08:32] world. I'm not

[08:33] I'm not a fan of Pope Leo.

[08:36] Guess what? He's literally trying to

[08:38] stop crime cuz what you are doing in the

[08:39] Middle East is criminal. Everybody is

[08:41] telling you that. You've lost a large

[08:43] portion of your base. You have lost

[08:45] Maha.

[08:47] You've lost Megyn Kelly. You've lost to

[08:48] be. You've lost Alex Jones. You've lost

[08:51] and this is just that's just in terms of

[08:52] the commentary after if you will

[08:55] and you refuse to see reality. You just

[08:56] refuse to see reality. You're so

[08:58] convinced that you can just drop another

[08:59] tweet and of course he then dropped a

[09:01] picture of himself as Jesus Christ on

[09:03] top of that and got even backlash from

[09:08] the Protestants who said this is

[09:09] completely inappropriate and his

[09:12] response this is the image by the way if

[09:13] you have not seen it. Obviously, healing

[09:15] the sick.

[09:16] And his response

[09:19] to dropping that was that he didn't

[09:22] realize that that was supposed to be

[09:24] Jesus and that he thought that the AI

[09:26] image was suggesting that he is a healer

[09:28] and a doctor

[09:30] because

[09:31] he is a doctor in his own mind. So that

[09:33] that's his excuse for you just

[09:35] continuing to be so disrespectful to

[09:38] Christians. He offered as opposed to

[09:40] just saying I'm sorry

[09:42] this AI image was not appropriate. It

[09:43] went out. People were not thinking

[09:45] thought it was funny poor taste. He came

[09:48] out with an excuse that he thought he

[09:50] was a doctor. Take a listen.

[09:53] Mr. President, did you post that picture

[09:55] of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ and

[09:57] >> Well, it wasn't depicted. It was me. I I

[10:00] did post it and I thought it was me as a

[10:02] doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a

[10:05] Red Cross worker there, which we

[10:06] support. And uh

[10:09] only the fake news could come up with

[10:10] that one. So, I had I had uh

[10:13] I just heard about it and I said, "How

[10:15] did they come up with that?" It's

[10:17] supposed to be me as a doctor making

[10:20] people better and I do make people

[10:21] better. I make people uh a lot better.

[10:27] He thought it was a Red Cross doctor.

[10:29] So, that's why he posted it because like

[10:31] obviously he was um

[10:33] What year was that, Ashley, that he was

[10:34] a doctor, Skyler?

[10:37] I'm sorry. I need to produce a note. Um

[10:39] could

[10:40] Can we ask Charlie GPT? Okay. It When

[10:43] did he Wow, it's not coming up for us

[10:46] that uh Trump was ever a doctor. So, I

[10:48] don't know why he would feel that the

[10:49] image was relating to him

[10:51] as a doctor for Red Cross healing the

[10:53] sick. That seems And wearing that

[10:55] particular getup doesn't feel to me like

[10:59] he was a a Red Cross doctor.

[11:01] But that's the slop we're getting. It's

[11:04] been a sloppy year, my friends. It's

[11:06] been a fetty sloppy year and slop we're

[11:08] just we're just going to keep getting

[11:09] it.

[11:12] >> [music]
