Bursting with excitement. Reporter brian and sharrie pope francis is expected here in new york city in a few minutes but the security for his visit is already in place, nypd has an extra 6,000 officers on the street and 3700 miles of barricades and 2500 feet of fence for a visit that is expected to last 39. 5 hours. People are ready to see pope francis in new york city. The way its set up it will be hard to see him. We hope to see him. I want to see him in person. Streets were closed down causing major gridlock and the pope is expected to attend a Prayer Service at Saint Patrick cathedral, where tickets guests will file in to greet the pontiffs. In times square people cant help to share the excitement. Its like going to the movies, but a lot more electric. He wants the best for the world, he is politically motivated. Earlier pope francis spoke to politics, being the first pope in history to speak to a joint meeting of congress. I am most grateful for your invitation to address this joi
