manipulate religion for political or military gain.
Do you think that he was talking about you, sir?
>> It's very important that the pope understands.
Very, very important. It be nice not to say it.
Uh Iran killed 42,000 people that were totally unarmed.
They were protesters.
Uh Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
if they did, every country, including Italy where he's stationed, every single country in in the world would be in trouble.
So,
we're doing very well with respect to that having to do with the whole situation on Iran.
The uh the blockade is amazing.
It's holding up very strong, very powerfully.
Uh and I think we're making a lot of progress in that.
But the pope has to understand Iran, very simple, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. the world would be in great danger.
>> Would you meet, Mr. President, would you meet with the Pope to even out your differences because Catholics are torn?
>> I don't think it's necessary.
>> Why are you fighting with the pope? And are you worried it's upsetting your
>> No, I don't. I have to do what's right.
Uh the Pope has to understand that.
Very simple. I have nothing against the Pope.
His brother is MAGA all the way. I like his brother Lewis.
>> Uh I'm not fighting with him.
The Pope made a statement.
He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon.
I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months as a protester with no weapons, no nothing.
I mean, you take a look at that.
Uh so I can disagree with the pope.
>> I have a right to disagree with the pope.
>> What do you say? What do you say to people who see that who see your criticism?
>> I have look nothing. I have no disagreement with the fact the Pope can say what he wants and I want him to say what he wants, but I can disagree.
I think that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
If they do, the whole world would be at jeopardy.
The Middle East will be blown up and the whole world will be in jeopardy.
We're very close to making a deal.
That'll be a great thing.
Uh the Pope has to understand Iran has killed more than 42,000 people over the last few months.
Think of it. protesters without guns, without anything.
There were totally unarmed protesters.
The Pope has to understand that. Uh this is the real world.
It's a nasty world.
But as far as the Pope uh and saying what he wants, he can do that.
Now, I know the Pope's brother, he is a big MAGA person.
He's got MAGA all over his house.
His name is Lewis.
He's actually a great guy.
And I'm sure the Pope is a great guy. I haven't met him.
But I disagree with the Pope.
If the Pope would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, you can't do that.
