New a special report on the visit to america. Reporting from washington, dc, george stephanopolis. Good morning, we are outside the United States capitol of pope francis about to make history becoming the first pope ever to address the United States congress. You can see him an hour ago leaving the unture to greet the faithful as he has done reaching out and touching them. Before getting into the fiat for the short ride to capitol hill and he pulled in, went on to the house of representatives side. Here are the crowds. And a private meeting with the house of representatives Speaker Boehner, a catholic, official altar boy. He has been trying for is long to get a pope to address the congress. It is happening now. After meetings with several of congressional leadership the pope will come out and address the congress with joint session just going. Look at that crowd gathering outside on the west lawn of the capitol, 50,000 tickets have been giving out. Good morning, george, the tickets i have one. This is what you need to get in here, the hottest tickets in town. Take a look, a sea of people out here on the lawn of the west side of the capitol willing. They are excited. They are excited. We have schoolchildren here from maryland, virginia, a lost families, they are saying some are from chicago. It is not just this side of capitol but it steps all the way to the other side of the capitol in the shadow of the Washington Monument on the mall. People are exited but these people want to hear a message. They know they are here to witness history and they are waiting to hear what pope francis has to say. I spoke with a woman who said they got here last night and waited all night and told me the reason is it is worth just seeing a short glimpse of the folk because this isnt not just any pope but something about pope francis is different and that is the theme we have been hearing for the last couple of days. He will deliver a bracing message and he will come out on to the balcony closer to the balkan the develop v. I. P. Section with our very own v. I. P. Section,cokie roberts is here. This is a very jovial mood here. The leaders of congress have were invited their families and political and personal including gifts of leader pelosi, who was instrument am in getting obamacare pass asked union leaders, as well, and this is a moment that is unlike any other moment we have ever seen at capitol and i have eastbound a lot. Just with the sense of joy with which is Prime Minister eighting the crowd. A lot psychiatry out there on the lawn and such a perfect day, as well, but a lot of anxiety behind the scenes. We have been talking about the unprecedented security and our chief justice correspondent you were inside the command center this morning. I spent some exclusive time in the secure location this morning where they cure nature the papal security and stuck by how locked in everyone is, 35 agencies from the secret service to military weapons of mass destruction experts and the man oversee this is saying this is as intense as it gets, Law Enforcement for checking everything but they are confident everything is covered but people say they are prepared. They are working really, really hard. We can see and hear when pope drove in the helicopters and the security, the join secretaries was called to order by Speaker Boehner a few moments ago. We are used to the photos when the president comes seeing everyone clamor on to get part of it, but the speaker has done everything he can to make sure that does not happen with the pope. He has. I have to tell you the chamber is picked. It has all of the energy of one of the big state of the Union Addresses but the speaker has issued an order to all members of congress. When the pope comes down the center aisle you are not supposed to reach out, not supposed to shake hands or have a conversation before national television, let him be, he is on a very tight schedule. We will see if they go along with that. They are not supposed to interrupt the popes speech with applause. They are supposed to allow him to go forward not what we usually see in the chamber. Applaud when three comes in, applaud when he is over but let him give the speech. We will see if that happens. Back with you to a little bit. The pope is scheduled to speak in ten minutes and we will come back do that but we will talk about year. A remarkable day, the first visit of the pope to the United States and the First Time Ever he touch foot on the United States soil and the meeting at the white house following a series of events, and the crowds in the street and the canonization mass later on, and i am joined by father heard the word the pope was happy. He has delivered the messages quickly, got right down to it with rebound in term with president obama in terms of immigrants and continued talking lly on message as they ion so he say. He was on message and matthew dowd also hitting all the touching all the political bases in the United States, as well. Coming out speaking as the son of an immigrant, he says as an immigrant himself and bracing the president s agenda on Climate Change but then that meeting at the end of the day with the Little Sisters of the poor. Yeah, i think in the course of this, we have watched a pope not only do historic things every single day and hell do another obviously, no pope has addressed a joint meeting of congress but i think hes done all the things that a pastor and pope but hes also revealed how much of a politician he really is and in the course of where hes been talking to the president , what he said to the country and i think well see more of that politician here today. More of that politician, of course, appropriately in the house of representative, but speaking to the American People through their representatives and you flew over with the pope. He doesnt like being labeled as a politician. He does not like being labeled. He said to us directly an now famously, a lot think im a leftist. Thats an error. He said i keep to church doctrine. One of the things he said to the reporters just before he left us, he said, your work have important. Go build bridge, make a big bridge and thats what were seeing him do. I think hes trying to forge relationships here in the United States with the president , the congress and the American People. The theme of dialogue, that will be emphasized again today. We also saw father martin, the pope with his fellow brother bishops he called them yesterday but right now we want to go back into the chamber because the Supreme Court is entering right now. This is an interesting substory in and of itself. Chief Justice John Roberts will be joining anthony kennedy, of course, he is a catholic, as well, wrote the gay marriage Decision Just a couple of months ago, Justice Sotomayor and Justice Ginsburg attending, five members not attending, matthew dowd, including three of the catholic members. Yeah, there are six catholics on the Supreme Court. On both sides of the political spectrum, both political and conservative. The three probably most conservative catholic justices arent here today which shows a division not only in our country and in the church but actually a division on the court is revealed in this audience today. See the president s cabinet coming in right now as well. Terry moran, you were a bit surprised that these justices werent showing up. I was. Justice scalia has famously for the part of 20 years refused to come to state of the Union Addresses because he thinks its a big show and Justice Alito had that famous encounter but this is the pope. Not a political figure and these are three catholics and have not said why. We dont know why but it is its striking. In fact, Justice Scalias son is a priest in the Northern Virginia diocese. And it leaves open the possibility that like one member of congress at least a conservative republican member of congress, they have decided that this pope is not for them and have not shown up for that reason. Speaker boehner making a point though talking about why he invited the pope here. He says he expects the pope to speak to the better angels of our nature quoting Abraham Lincoln there and saying that the popes visit can transcend politics. I want to go back out to the lawn right now. We have david wright who is way out, way out on the ellipse for the guests who are gathering who dont have a ticket. Reporter good morning, george. These are the cheap seats outside the security barrier here but a no ticket required for entry and atmosphere of a churchy Music Festival groups drawn together by the popes environmental message and excited about what hes had to say on immigration, on wealth and equality and other messages, even have Bernie Sanders for president , folks, handing out flyers so these people will be listening with interest. Father marten here, this is so interesting. This pope has reached beyond the Catholic Community. Well, he has. Obviously many catholics, the majority love him but there is a sense that others outside the Catholic Community as you say but he is reaching out himself to people outside the Catholic Community tailoring his messages, for example, his environmental encyclical to all good people of the world. I want to go back inside. Jon karl. Yeah, its fascinating here seeing two catholics who will be standing behind the president sitting behind the pope. John boehner who was an altar boy and, george, for 20 years he has been trying to get a pope to come and address congress in this chamber. He has tried to invite three different popes, hes now finally accomplished it. When the pope comes into this chamber a huge moment for him but sitting right now standing next to john boehner, of course, Vice President biden, the first catholic Vice President in the history of the United States and right behind me, well, you cant see, we have two president ial candidates who are in attendance, nonmembers of congress, dr. Ben carson and governor Chris Christie, i spoke to Chris Christie just a few minutes ago. Hes a catholic and talked about the significance of this moment seeing a pope address congress and he said how shows how far we have come as a nation since the days when people questioned john f. Kennedys loyalties because he was a catholic and had to assure people he wouldnt be taking orders from rome. Now here he is addressing the United States congress. Marco rubio is in the audience obviously runni f president who is also a catholic. And father martin, that point of a pope addressing the United States congress, i see i huge smile on your face right our founding fathers, many of them are antikwath lick. Thomas jefferson, and john adams in particular didnt like the yes, sir jess wits. This shows the tolerance we have in our country and the fact we have a leader that transcends. Do you think he had reluctance in accepting this invitation . Was it difficult . I think he was making good on an invitation extended. He nose the important place the hold in the church. A lot of times what happens in the United States, happens in other plays. He knew the significance. After he speaks to the congress today, the pope will be going on and having lunch with the homeless here in down town washington
