You can guarantee that you're going to hear some of the most ridiculous comments as to the death of Pope Francis of Bergoglio.
You're going to guarantee you.
You're going to hear from people who have no earthly idea anything about the papacy, the history of the papacy, nothing!
But they feel that they can comment on everything.
And by the way, they can.
It's a free country.
But you hear this absolute unleashed, unvarnished, unapologetic, focused anger.
Directed towards the Pope and the Catholic Church like no other faith bar none.
Bar none!
I promise you!
You wouldn't hear anybody talk ever about rabbinical heads or imams or Muslims or Buddhists or Zoroastrians or Hindus.
No!
Even somebody like maybe Who, like maybe a Billy Graham, maybe you'd say?
Well, maybe sort of.
But when it comes to the Catholics, oh my God, there's this un...
I mean, there's this seething hatred, especially from the experts who know nothing about them.
Again, it's a free country.
But just as you're able to say what I'm...
What you think.
I'm able to say what I think.
You can say whatever you want, but most people are so out of it.
They have no clue.
They don't know what the church is.
And I would agree 100% from the viewpoint of anybody who would espouse a lot of the, dare I say, the more globalist kind of liberal things that the Pope does.
But here's the question.
How does it affect you?
How does it affect you, what the Pope says?
Now, it's very, very critical when he does, what, a billion plus Catholics around the world.
So it has a...
In fact, it's interesting.
The number of Catholics...
See what I'm doing?
This is called research.
1.406 billion baptized...
Catholicism.
Let's call it one and a half.
Okay?
And again, you're entitled to say whatever you want.
You're entitled to say whatever you want.
It doesn't matter.
I don't care.
It's a free country.
Say what you want.
But does it bother anybody that most people don't know what the hell they're talking about?
Of course not.
So we're going to be talking about that.
Also, Pete Hexit, MTG, all this other great information.

My friends, I do not believe it would be beyond the realm of possibilities for me to suggest that the battle, the battle perhaps for the soul of Rome begins now.
Where is the direction of the church going?
Billion Catholics.
Where is it going?
And as you know, my dear friends, following the death of Pope Francis Bergoglio, speculation is mounting over who will succeed him.
Leading contenders, they say, include both traditional cardinals and progressive figures, setting up what many believe would be a defining moment for the Catholic Church's future.
Now, according to reports, whatever that means, from whomever, a growing number of Catholics and church insiders are predicting a sharp turn toward tradition.
Now, if you believe that, if you think anybody's got an inside track, you're out of your mind.
You have no...
They don't care what you say.
This is the church!
They don't care!
This isn't American Idol!
This is...
They do...
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Critics of Bergoglio, who clashed with his, some of his perhaps progressive stances on immigration or climate change, I mean, I think he even agreed with or met with or extended something to Greta Thunberg, his same-sex blessings, when he even said one time, when asked about gay priests, he goes, who am I to judge?
Who are you to judge?
You're the Pope!
Anyway, they're hopeful that the next Pope will restore Doctrinal clarity, pelucidity, ladies and gentlemen, and moral authority.
This is what people are saying.
And there are some reports, I think Breitbart was reporting, that several top people candidates are considered strong conservatives, signaling, I would hope, what would be a dramatic course correction for the Vatican.
Because it's important.
The Vatican, what happens affects the world.
And it also reflects...
Europe and how the rest of the country and humanity is dealing with it.
Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, she did it now!
Marjorie Taylor Greene, uh-huh.
Her faith tested by fire.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is under fire from, I know our...
The Catholic League is furious for criticizing Pope Francis hours before his death, accusing him of promoting globalist values and turning the church into a political weapon.
I mean, this is her right to do it.
But her remarks have drawn backlash from across the political spectrum.
Critics are now saying, you know, this is just not right.
This is no good.
Critics are calling them ill-timed and disrespectful.
And MTG defended her comments by saying, look, Catholics deserve a leader focused on Christ, not climate change or open borders.
Now, wait a minute.
Many people would say, listen, with all due respect, MTG, you're okay, we love all your stuff, but this ain't your game.
This is the Catholic Church.
This is Dr. Triennial, synod, proclaimed theology.
This is orthodoxy that you frankly know nothing about, and it does not, dare I say, make a corollary.
Let me ask you this question.
What do you think...
I hate to even suggest this.
It's almost blasphemous and heretical in and of itself to suggest this.
But what do you think Jesus would say?
What would Jesus say?
You think Jesus would be for climate change, maybe?
Jesus would say, this is ridiculous.
This is a global...
This is a Klausian, Schwabian nonsense.
What about open borders?
Now, I don't know about you.
But I could see Jesus, this again, who am I to even say this?
But I could see Jesus saying, well, there has to be some kind of rule and order.
You can't, you know, gates and bars and, I mean, after all, there was a rock in front of the tomb for reasons.
There are these things.
And the controversy has reignited the debate over the Pope's legacy and the role of politics in the church and vice versa.
So keep an eye on that one.
It's always important, remember, when, you know, the old expression, too soon.
There are people who love this man and love the Pope, and they show a people connection that few people can understand unless you've been around it.
Now, the war for the Church is far from over.
What about Archbishop Carlo Maria Villano, who responded to the death of Pope Francis with this?
Scathing statement.
Oh, this guy's accusing him of crimes against the faith.
Vigano, who was a long critic of the Vatican and globalism, warned of divine judgment and a need for reform.
Now, as you know, he was formally excommunicated by the Vatican for schism.
Now, if you go, if you look at some of the authorities, ChatGPT and others, some say, no, he wasn't excommunicated.
Others say, yes, he was.
They say, no, no, no, he was excommunicated.
Not merely relieved of duties.
The Vatican's dicastery for the doctrine of faith.
I love these names.
I don't know what the dicastery is.
Anyway, announced on July 5th of last year that Vigano was found guilty.
Of the canonical crime of schism, schismnasium, schism, to his, quote, refusal to recognize and submit to the Supreme Pontiff.
Number one, his rejection of communion with the members of the Church, subject to him and of the legitimacy and magisterial authority of the Second Vatican Council.
That's it.
That is it.
They don't fool around.
That's the way it is.
This isn't subject to debate.
We're not going to go online.
We're not going to tweet about this.
And this resulted in an automatic excommunication.
Lete sententiae.
This is confirmed by multiple sources, including Vatican statements and news reports.
Though some people are saying, no, he wasn't.
Excommunication is a severe penalty, pretty much.
That bars him from participating in Catholic sacraments, holding official roles within the church, is far beyond a simple rebuke or far beyond a simple relief of duties.
His actions and what he did, including public criticism of Bergoglio and the rejection of Attica II, oh my God, were cited as the basis for the decision.
So you don't do that.
So let me tell you something for those people who say, well, you know, kind of liberal.
Francis Bergoglio is not at all liberal or progressive when it comes to people breaking the rules.
Okay?
You dig?
So watch that.
I kind of like there to be rules.
Listen, it's not me.
It's up to you.
It's his church to run.
But I like there to be rules.
Now, elites.
The next one.
Thrive while you were locked down.
Do you know that Fauci's net worth reportedly doubled during the darkest days of the COVID-19 lockdowns?
This is according to a government watchdog.
As Americans suffered job losses and shuttered businesses, Fauci, that crook, his personal fortune, ballooned thanks to investments and taxpayer-funded perks.
Many, many people, critics indeed, and others, Are saying it's just more evidence of how Washington elites profited off panic while mainstream people, you and me, paid the price.
What are we going to do about it?
I suggest clawback may be in order, Mr. President.
I suggest clawback may be in order, sir.
Next.
Must be nice from the mansion.
George Clooney.
Consummate fraud.
By the way, he's on Broadway with that horrible goodnight and good luck with his dyed hair and the whole bit.
He made headlines with an eyebrow-raising, well, this claim about his marriage to Amal, a woman who lives in complete and total dread of autocorrect.
Anyway, he called it a constant state.
Of perfection.
I'm not gonna say what I think.
I'm not gonna say what I think I know.
I'll let you figure it out.
But critics were blasting it as yet another Hollywood fantasy from some disconnected celebrity who's continuing to lecture Americans on politics while living in this Multi-million dollar villa, I guess, or whatever he's doing.
I mean, he's such a phony!
And what they did was, they told him specifically, you are going to go out and you are going to carry the water.
You're going to do the dirty work.
You're going to go out and blast Biden the dotard.
You're going to do it.
Do you understand that?
You're going to do it.
And then afterwards, After you say, he's sharp as a tack, he's terrific.
And then you're going to turn and come out and we're going to hand you or we're going to say that you wrote something where you're going to be calling for his end.
Now he made a deal, in my opinion.
Don't be surprised if they said, okay, what do I do?
We'll get you the Tony.
Why?
Because that stuff's all bought off and, you know, please.
You know, ahead of time, listen, if the Tonys were legit, you wouldn't have eliminated a woman right off the bat because she dared to express.
Particular ideologies that were not consistent with the radical left.
I despise him.
Next, Goldbar's Dirty Deal, Zero Shame, and Hillbilly Music.
Nadine Menendez, the wife of disgraced former Senator Bob Menendez, has been, it's true, convicted in connection with the now infamous Goldbar bribery scandal.
Classy.
Really classy.
They really knew what they were doing.
The case is, of course, as you know, he was the former senator or the senator of New Jersey.
The case revealed a stunning, stunning, blatant web of corruption involving foreign cash and influence peddling in bribery.
And many people are asking, when will Bob himself face real consequences?
Well, I think we know what's going to happen with that one.
That was one of those ones where, what do you do as a defense lawyer?
What's your defense?
I know this looks bad.
I know there's Cadillacs in cars.
And I know there's gold bars.
And I know they're texting.
But you see, there's a perfect explanation for that.
I don't know what it is, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
How about this, my friends?
Justice delayed must apparently not be.
Justice and I, that's right, House Republicans have formally asked the DOJ to criminally charge Andrew Cuomo for his cover-up of COVID nursing home deaths.
That's right.
After years of stonewalling and doing this, Andrew Cuomo may finally face a reckoning of sorts for policies that critics say led to thousands of avoidable deaths.
This is a man, by the way, responsible who gave us everything from Congestion pricing to no bail in jail, this, this, this.
I mean, I have absolutely no faith whatsoever in anything even resembling a sentience in the city and the state of New York.
But the good news is I hope that I think Elise Stefanik may be running for governor, and I know Curtis Lee was going to be running, who I would vote for in a heartbeat.
Now, crime capital strikes again.
You ready for this?
Did you hear this one?
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, now or whatever, had her purse snatched during a trip to Washington, D.C. Isn't this incredible?
The thief made off with $3,000 in cash and her passport.
What?
It's yet another example of the, dare I say, the lawlessness of Democratic-run cities.
But how do you get to her?
Does she have a detail?
How does this even work?
This just kills me.
How in the world...
This is a DHS chief.
How did this?
This to me, this blows my mind.
$3,000 in cash?
What do you get $3,000?
What do you got any kind of cash for?
I think there's medications.
Now, you may not think this is a big deal.
You may say, oh, come on.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.
This blows my mind.
And then we talk about this one.
How about this?
Changing generals in mid-war, so to speak.
The White House, they say, maybe, I don't know, is supposedly, well, they're reporting, vetting names for a new Secretary of Defense.
Has the President lost all faith in Hegseth with rising tensions in the world?
Many people are wondering if this kind of weird shake-up is signaling panic over...
Why some people consider it to be failed military leadership.
Did you hear about this?
More talks, more signal leaks and the like from Hegseth.
And they say that it's coming from within, from people who are inside the Pentagon, who want to show him a thing or two.
This is unbelievable.
Did you hear about this?
Dark woke?
Did you hear about this?
It's making the rounds dark, woke.
It's trying to combine progressive, I guess, progressive politics with dystopian aesthetics or something.
I'm not even sure.
Critics are saying it's another rebrand and effort by the radical left to push anti-American narratives under kind of a hip, subversive veneer.
This lunatic nonsense from people like Jasmine Crockett.
It blows my mind.
And Democrats, by the way, are rolling on a bold new attitude, according to media folks and the like.
But here's the thing.
Critics are saying it doesn't make any sense.
They're trying to figure out a way to redo, revamp, repolish, reposition the Democratic Party, if that's possible, into making some kind of a, I don't know, some kind of form that people can grasp?
Maybe by...
I don't know it.
There's nothing that we are seeing, that anybody is seeing at this particular point, that shows anything even remotely, remotely looking like any form of...
I don't know what the word is.
I mean, I don't know what their message is going to be to try to fix things.
But here's the deal, my friends, and this is the most important.
President Trump has got to do something, and you know it and I know it.
Where we have to see heads roll and fast.
Now I'm going to say this again.
I'm saying it for the millionth time.
And I know it gets boring.
And I know you're tired of it.
I know you're tired of it.
I know you're saying, is he saying this again?
Yes.
Yes.
I'm saying it again.
The president has got to do something to make heads roll.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Does this make sense?
I hope it does.
Dear God, do I hope it makes sense.
And the reason for it is very simply this.
And I mean this.
The thing that scares me the most, well, aside from AGI and everything, is the fact that we have midterms coming up.
And it seems like the Democrats are just kind of sitting back and they're out protesting and doing their thing when they're 50-51.
But the President has been, I think, less than active.
And finding one person.
How much do you want to bet the person who stole Christine Ohm's purse doesn't even get a slap on the wrist?
Does this make sense to you?
Does that make sense to you?
This is the part I don't understand.
This is the part I don't understand.
I'm serious about this.
I don't get any of this.
And I know you're the same way.
And I know many of you are sitting back and saying, what's going to happen regarding the Pope?
What's going to happen?
Is this going to be in some way the end of globalism?
I hope.
Is this somehow a harbinger?
Is this pythonic or vanic?
Is this auger the future?
I hope.
I hope it does.
I hope the church and others realize that the country once rules back again.
You can't take something and destroy it.
Now remember, as far as church canons, canonical liturgy and orthodoxy, I have nothing.
To say about that, dear friend.
That, unfortunately, is something that's not my division.
But I hope.
I hope because I think even, I think a lot of Catholics, a lot of people, not that the Cardinals care about this, but I don't think a lot of people really like what's going on.
Let me just say something to you.
Let me remind you of this about the Catholic Church.
They don't care anything about what you think.
This is not about what's popular, about what you think.
They don't care.
They're not going to be doing polls.
They're not going to be asking anybody opinions.
They're not going to say, what do you think?
They're not going to be passing out doing polls or kind of online, you know, X or Twitter poll.
Uh-uh.
No.
They have been around since day one.
I think, I hope you saw this.
I have a very interesting, I think a very interesting piece regarding some Did you know this?
Did you know?
I've got some little bit of information here.
The shortest serving Pope.
It wasn't John Paul I. Did you know this?
It was 13 days.
Pope Urban VII.
When?
1590.
He died of malaria.
Before he was even crowned, or not crowned, but appointed.
He was known for proposing a ban on smoking in churches and threatening excommunication for offenders.
Possibly he might have been the first anti-smoking pope.
This is true.
Longest serving pope.
Pius IX.
1878.
31 years.
How about popes who were married?
Did you know this?
There was Peter.
St. Peter, the first pope.
Yep, he was married.
The gospel referred to his mother-in-law, proving he had a wife.
Tradition holds he was martyred in Rome, crucified upside down.
Then there was Pope Felix III, who served from 483 to 492.
He's married, yes.
He was a widower upon ordination.
Ancestor of Pope Gregory I. And by the way, I think Gregory came up with the notion of propaganda, the propagation of the faith.
Hormistus, from 514 to 523, he was married, also widowed, before becoming a deacon and later Pope.
So some of these people were married before.
There was Adrian II from H67.
There was John XVII.
In 1003, he was married, had three sons.
Did you know that?
Here are some great names.
My favorite, Pope Hilarious.
It's true.
From 461 to 468.
Boniface, Innocent, Lando, Pope Lando, Urban I through the 8th, Simplicius, Severus, Adiodatus, Adiodatus II, Pope Valentine, Avaristus, Eleutherius, Hormistus, Ageptus, Ageptus II, Pope Donus, Zosimus,
Formosus, Hygienus, And of course from 126 to 137.
Those are great names.
If you're going to have a good name, that's the one.
Pope Sparky.
Don't have one of those yet.
Sparky says, Christy Norm is an oddball and not in a good way.
By the way, why did she have $3,000 on it?
That's right.
Was it in traveler's checks?
I don't think so.
Even with inflation, that's a lot of walking around money.
I'm with you there.
I'm with you there, Sparko.
Pilgrimedia says, Pope Alexander VI, the Borgia.
That's right.
Also, remember when they had...
Did you ever have the...
Did you ever hear about this one?
The story of Pope Joan, this is a legendary female pope, is a well-known medieval myth.
It is said that a woman disguised as a man rose through the ranks of the Catholic Church and became pope.
Later it is said her secret was revealed during a papal procession when she gave birth in the street.
This led to the legend of the dung chair used to verify the pope's genitalia before crowning while the The story of Pope Jonas widely dismissed as myth.
The legend itself persisted.
It is fascinating that there was a chair where they would reach under the dung chair or cedia stercoraria, a chair with a hole in the center when newly elected popes were said to have been examined to verify their masculinity, to see whether their testicles hung below.
Did you know that?
Complete mythical, but people swear by it.
They also believe in this idea that somehow there was a time when you would swear, you would put your hand over your gonads or testicles.
That's, they say, where the word testify comes from.
Complete and total nonsense.
So there you have it, my friends.
There you have it.
So what a delightful day.
We have so much to talk about, so much to review.
I'm going to be back tomorrow.
