I dear friend, i bless each one of you from my heart. I will pray for you and your. What a nice moment speaking to the staff at United Nations, various janitors in the room, cooks, and a nice humble message. He calls them the backbone of this organization. All right. Quick break and we will be right back. Lets get back to the United Nations on the east skies of manhattan. Pope gave a quick speech and now he is basically a golf cart and moving along the halls of the u. N. Towards some school children. This should be it. I can almost expect him to get out of that vehicle. Or to give him a blessing, because you hear him, they are holding up pictures. He is 78 years old and also at the age of 21, he had half of one of his lungs removed, and he has scene back problems. The the pontiff has a lot of energy. You heard the kid. There are the the kid. I think, the walking stresses him out, but, he gets along with the young kid. There is a energy. He lights up. He sees that smile. You see his face, completely light up, smiles take over. He called a speech to the ordinary staff of the u. N. He just lit up, the face of the ordinary people. Yes, and he crack a joke. I looked it up. What did he say. He said would i ask you to offer greeting to the member who could not be with us today because of the lottery. He was implying there was a lottery. If you won you got to be there. That is a a speech that he wanted to speak to the people who wanted to see him but did in the get that opportunity. He was always thinking about those people. He will go over to the seminary. Saint charles seminary. And what time is he supposed to alive. He will have a mass, at 10 00 oclock iron then will get back, and ims guessing 12 30, and it will be up front. It is like 150 people. Okay. Small crowd. Very nice. Do we have any idea what you will have as far as a snack or something. I normally put out a cheese plate, tastykake. I wanted to go with the cheese stake but i dont think his stomach will take a cheese stake. He loves pasta and his mom caught him how to cook. He cooks for himself. He will sometimes, soup isnt warm enough he will go over to microwave it and warm it up himself. Yes. They brought in mercy sisters to cook for him. They would be disappointed if they could not eat and, put on the pasta himself. Over at the seminary the mercy sisters there. Yes. There they are right there. Sisters of mercy. Maybe they will help or something. Ill tell you one thing that he mentioned going out to pizza because he cannot go out by himself. We have a lot of good pizza in this city too. We do, even in new york there are good pizzas. Okay. Our bruce gordon is also up in new york in midtown man the hat on covering, well, reason we are in midtown, the the pep will be in harlem all the way down to the tip of manhattan, bruce, what are you seeing. Reporter well, as you said pope has a busy day ahead of him, starting out here at u. N. , roughly half an hour speech to the General Assembly, got here bright and early this morning. He has been busy from the very beginning on this u. S. Troop, this day certainly no exception. Left the papal nuncio on his way to the u. N. , posed briefly for photos with the u. N. Secretary general, that is ban key moon. The interesting to note you watch those photos being taken and we probably aired it a little while ago he was putting up with the photos with the adult but as soon as a couple Young Children were brought in the room he just lit up, the smile was really impressive. You have seen that throughout this journey, whenever kid are around, the 78 yearold pontiff really lights up and begins to beam. One of the highlights it looked like from what we could tell, from this morning at least so far was a stop in front of the Norman Rockwell a painting called the golden rule. The pope mentioned that golden rule yesterday in his speech to congress in washington, where he talk about the immigration crisis, Illegal Immigrants flooding in the United States from the south and basically said to lawmakers treat them like you would want to be treated. He spent several minutes looking at that painting the golden rule. His speech to the u. N. This morning is expect to last about a half hour in english and in spanish, expected to touch on the subject of the climate change, poverty, hunger, certainly the subject of the syrian refugee crisis is like willly to come up. Emotional highlight of this day will be the visit to ground zero where the pope is expect to meet with the family members of some of the victims of 9 11 mid afternoon today a visit to a Catholic School in harlem, and a big papal mass from the about 19,000 people at Madison Square garden. A very busy day in what is really his only full day in new york city. Thank you, bruce. He is 40 hours in new york city and he will cover more than 50 miles in that 40 hours. He will pack it in. Manhattan is 10 miles in length. He will go up and down, up and down. We opted in philadelphia to have the mass lets say at the link offer Wells Fargo Center but in 1979, when we had Pope John Paul at the mass at logan circle up and down the parkway and the pictures were so dramatic and we wanted to replicate that. So our pictures being shown around the world would be so much more dramatic, sunday dont you think. More people should come. Where as the parkway how many people can you squeeze in. You have to factor in security issues. They chose Madison Square garden instead of central park for security, more containment in that space and since 9 11 it is always on top of our mine. That is why we have fences up on the parkway. Originally the plan was just to come to philadelphia for world meeting of families, that was intention and he said while im here i will go ahead and go to d. C. And new york city as well. We are truly the focus. Almost every speech he a has given he has said im going to go to philadelphia. It was started by Pope John Paul the the second, the world meeting of families that happens every three years. I know earlier we were talking about the the children and a how excited they were. When he goes to harlem to vice that it Elementary School there will be 24, third and fourth grade students that will get to greet him. They got to do an essay contest. They were pick to get to greet the pope. They will give him a nice little prayer book with all of their prayers of the students from the archdiocese there in new york city. So, including that moment. Yes. Boy. Excuse me. Okay. Some say pope francis visit to philadelphia is a wish come true and more wishes may be granted this weekend because there is now a really cool thing in philadelphia, it is call the wish wall and you can be part of it. That is right, lauren dawn johnson were you live at the wish wall. Where is it exactly the italian market. Reporter it is on ninth street. The lets talk to the councilman. He will talk to us about how this all came together. He will do his first wish while he chats with us. Tell us what this is all about. This is a a great opportunity. We have wish wall foundation, and where people can put their wishes, for the world on the wall, and a great opportunity since were outside, the big festive area to give people and neighborhood a chance to come here and simulcast the popes speech and mass. We have a great opportunity where we have the flag have of hope, with 30 days between the popes visit and the dalai lamas visit, and the pope will make the first flag of hope and then this will be a station where they make flags of hope here saturday and sunday. At the end 30 days later when dalai lama comes on october 26th then he will also have a flag of hope, and that will make the total round circuit of back to back visits from the pope and dalai lama to the city of philadelphia. You put your first wish up what does that say. Tell to my family. What do you think of that. I think it is great. I work with the councilman.

Why was this important for you guys to make a day of celebrating pope francis . Sure, we recognize that all of our families would not be able to make it to the world meeting, and wanted to celebrate with our school family, so, we designed this day with activities, focused on the values of pope francis, and his culture.

Anyway, so jenn fred is trying to find a good place for to you see the pope even if you dont have a ticket. So she is driving around right now. Oh, i think she found a spot. What . Looks like the seminary, jen . Reporter it is totally the seminary, guys. Come on back. Ive spoken with penndot and Lower Merion Police to tell you where you can be and man it is closer than you might have ever thought. I know the city, i loch the sit, and i love that im a part of the weather story. I tell you what there is speech in front of the General Assembly may start sooner than we thought. It was scheduled for 10 20, but hes in the chamber now. You can sigh theyre all standing and clapping. The last time this happened 2008 pope benedict. Before hes introduced to give his talk, so, lets go onto this. We are talking about the parkway, sure, parkway getting it altogether, how about yesterday . I stopped by independents hall. All the white chairs out there as far as you can see, sea of white chairs. Basically, i think, standing in front of that statue, and they have little overhang, in case it is raining there, or something. So really is beautiful. Youve been watching the progress all throughout this week of the setupgoing on. I walked that way to go home. So, i was looking at some material yesterday. Andand we keep using the term te pope, right . Yes. Thats the common way to announce that hes coming to philadelphia. The pope is coming. But, listen to this. The pope does not appear in the official list of any titles. In fact, if i when they sign off documents, over in the vatican, vatican city, they just simply put pp. Poppa pope. Poppa snow. Thats the way. They sign off ovidian rent documents, but if i ever got a chance, say, ill pretend now with the dramatic reading on good day philadelphia, if i was invited to the college of cardinals, vatican city, and i got walk down this hallway, and greet the pope, i would do it in a very formal fashion. College of cardinals here. I would say his full name, victor of jesus christ, successor of the prince of the pap political sells, supreme pontiff, primate of italy, archbishop, melt political tan of the roman province, sovereign of the Vatican City State servant of the servants of god. Hi, im mike. Good to see you. applause . Thats his official tight. Beautiful. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. So i know youve been trying to see the pope. Thats what you would say if you saw him . Hi, im mike . I see the holy see. The pontiff. Thats the official title. Can you believe the length of that thing . Im surprised you wouldnt try to call limb by his name he was born with. Jorge . Yes. Jorge mario bergoglio. That would be disrespectful. I wouldnt do that. All right, lets talk about politics back here in the United States real quickly before we go to the pope or his official, well oh, we have to go to break. 9 48. Im going to go lie down. More kids are suffering from asthma and we still have no limits on Carbon Pollution which can lead to more asthma attacks in children but senator toomey has voted repeatedly to let polluters keep releasing unlimited Carbon Pollution into the air. And took more than one Million Dollars from the polluters. Tell senator toomey to vote for the clean power plan, because unlimited pollution shouldnt be a right. But playing outside should be. General secretary speaking, i would imagine, he will be the one to introduce pope francis in probably 15, 20 minute or so. So we have time to squeeze in another, maybe, little pop culture story here. Actress lena dunham, Hillary Clinton, the two of them got very personal. Yes, she got to interview Hillary Clinton. So, Hillary Clinton says she turned down bill clintons Marriage Proposal twice. Why . She says she was afraid of losing her identity because of president clintons political aspirations, and of course he is he has a big personality. Former president first proposed to former secretary clinton on trip to england after she graduated law school. She said she wasnt ready then, so then president clinton proposed again, a year later. And the answer again was no. Oh, no . But the two eventually of course married in 1975. Clinton says her advice to women is just to make the best decision they can at the time. Because marriage is a very big decision. Yes, i have to tell you, if somebody turned me down twice, i once, i would not ask twice. Thats how you know it is real love, mike. You new this is the woman for me, im keep proposing until you say yes. But shes right, very big decision. My dad always tells me, alex, who you are going to marry probably the biggest decision youll make in your life. Because it affect you for the rest of your life. You can always change your job, maybe move where you live, but the person you choose to marry, hes like thats a huge commitment. But can you over think it . You can always over think anything, right . What do you mean . Think about it so hard you decide not to, then you let somebody get away . Oh,. I did that in my life. But what do you mean, youre engaged. Well, there is that. Okay, jimmy fallon once again last night breaking his barber shop band out, they call it the rag time gals. Yes . On the tonight show. But this time they had a very special guest. Oh, no. Oh, singing the receipt anna song, better have my monday. I oh, i love it, i love it, i love him. Oh, this segment is always hilarious. Of course, kevin space i has done it. Yes. And yes. I kind of like those versions. What do youy . Every song in rag time sounds just goof. I now, i didnt know he could sing. Yes. So i love this. What was the movie he was in where he played a cancer patient . It was so good. I cried and cried and cried. Sue . Poor sue. We dont have time. So you remember, what is that, the vmas, when kanye west went on, the rant, he got the award. He dropped the bombshell. He said i am running for president in 2020. In fact, he ended the speech at the vmas by saying that. Im running for president in 2020. But people oh, maybe it was a joke, maybe he was just in the moment . Now we learned he confirms the fact that, yes, he will be running in 2020. Uhhuh. Interview vanity fair, he said that statement was no joke. He said his parents involvement in hire education, political organizations help upped him. Meanwhile, couple compliment for couple president ial hoe femmes, calls doctor ben carson brilliant. Few months ago was also photographed at hill had i fundraiser, you remember, Kim Kardashian took this selfie with Hillary Clinton, and everybody was talking about it. Well, spreading come minute meant on both side of the aisle, doctor carson, for the republican ticket, and then other person you mentioned . Hillary clinton. Ive heard of her, she is the frontrunner for the democrats. But in 2020 he says move out the way because im coming. Oh, who would be a good runningmate . Taylor swift . Oh, that would be see, they didnt get along, then they got along, thats what we need in washington. He can handle conflict. Yes. My god. But i cant.
