and the pulling out the stops here, and the intelligence and the lead with security, wolf, the sense of anticipation here with the group greegt him here and the president and the family will get a special private meeting with the pope when he arrives at the terminal here, and they will get to meet with him by themselves and the president's children, and the first lady and a whole host of o others to greet him, the governor of virginia and the mayor of washington and the archbishop of washington, d.c.

as well, and the sense of the warm welcome and the warm embrace that the capital city certainly but the country will give the pope as he visits the u.s. for the first time. >> it is extraordinary for the president and the vice president and for the first lady dr. jill biden all of them to go to joint base andrews to receive the international leader like the pope. it does not happen all of the time, does it? >> no, it does not, and you mentioned the vice president as well. and this is a true red carpet welcome. and think of this, and you know, the u.s. is the world's fourth largest catholic community here, and also a catholic community that is in something of a crisis, and you have many people leaving the church a and this pope seen not just as a religious leader, but world leader to inspire others to come back and not just catholics, but non-catholics as well to look at the church differently, and he has a message of openness to people of all kinds, and so folks are going to be listening

to him in a way that they have not listened to past popes coming to the u.s. he has a enormous bully pulpit as you say to speak as he comes here to joint sessions is of congress, and also to the general assembly to not just address leaders here, but around the world, and it begins in three hour, and it is going to be a great welcome and historic, as well, wolf. >> and thank you, jim. standby, aband i want jim fay rick to come in, and tell us more about the security, but listen to what the mayor of new york bill de blasio said about the security. >> we work very closely with the fbi and the secret service, and so we will have extensive and careful security, but we have to recognize that if his holiness wants to stop to greet people,

it is our job to protect him no matter what he wants the do, and so it is a balance that we are striking. >> and so it is amazing what is happening in new york city, and they are also gearing up for the world leaders at the united nations general assembly, and including president obama, and give us a sense of what is going on. >> yes, it sis incredible, and the united states general assembly is going to be hosting 170 other presidents and dignitaries and the pope is going to be addressing them friday morning, and the day that the pope leaves you will have a huge concert in the park with beyonce and cold play and pearl jam, and the pope is only in manhattan for 40-hour period. but everything is carefully choreographed from the moment he lands at jfk and arrives at st. patrick's cathedral to the residence and then to other locations as well sh, and you h got the united states secret service that is really handling his security along with the pope's personal detail. they are the ones who are going

to be in charge of getting from point a to point b, and then you have nypd and 35,000 police officers, and they are going to be around the perimeter on the outside of the perimeter, because, you think about the pope, and then there are, there are basically circles of security around him sh, and juso make sure that not only he is safe, but also those at the events are safe, and those outside of the events are safe. and there are going to be fences going up to protect those who have actually gone through the screening process from those who haven't, and nobody wants anybody who has not been screened to throw anything over a fence or hand a bag or a gun or anything like that, and so it is just everything that you can think of, and possibly going wrong, and it is something that, something that the secret service has addressed what happens if he is in the elevator and the power goes down, and all of it. and plus, the traffic e flow, and don't forget, should there be and attack, there is also a evacuation plan in place, and that is why when we talk about the gridlock, there is a reason, because they want to make sure

that the pope can get in and out quickly, and if there is a crisis, to make sure that he is brought to safety. so much thinking, and this has been going on for nine months this planning, and they are looking at everything, who is up in the windows, who is up in the balconies how the doors open, and windows open, and who is in the bushes. it is extensive. >> similar here in washington, d.c. as well. thank you, deb. dave wilkerson is a former fbi secret agent, and compare this level of security to one of previous visits? >> well, this is off of the charts, and as you said in the intro, this is a collaborate effort with the secret service with the lead, but the key to this is making sure that they have a contingency for every conceivable emergency while at the same time minimizing the disruption to the community. and that is a huge undertaking. they have spent the last ten months or so turning over every stone, working out every detail

they can thinking about every scenario, and from a terrorist attack to a lone gunman to a chem attack and bio attack, and demonstration attack, and it is gameday for the secret service. >> and some of the concern has been generated as a result of the isis threats on the internet, and social media, and directly aimed at christians, and especially the pope, right? >> well, i'd say that is absolutely true, wolf. i would say that communications is a key ingredient to the success of the security plan for the vent, and not only the communications between all of the federal and the state and the local law enforcement agencies as to the intelligence gathers, but also the gathering of resources to make sure they are at the right place at the right time, and traffic is shutdown at the right place and the right time, and the communication gathering not just for the intelligence reason, but for the entire visit, it is crucial.

they have been planning, that and doing the tabletop exercises, and looking at every possible scenario, and communicating it on the realtime basis to make sure it goes off without a hitch. >> and the pope, as you know, he likes to interact with the public out there, and real people, and how do you protect him when he goes into the crowd, jim? >> well, more made out of that than should be, because the secret service is ready for, that and ready for any visit of any protectee they have. and with the pope, this is significant with his visit to the united states. and they plan for, that and they are prepared for, that and they will have the buffer zones in certain areas to have civilians and guests there that the pope can reach out to touch, and that sort of thing, and they will be prepared for him to do that and what is more significant if he were to go outside of that general, you know, forecasted area that he might want to shake hands with and go outside of that, and that is when the head of the secret service detail leader, if you will, and the swiss guard leader will need to

go to him basically, and i rein him back in if it can be done, but they are, i can summarize, they are prepared for that, and ready for that, and he will be fine. >> and now, thank you, deborah feyerick as well, for that information. as part of the visit the pope will visit the catholic charities, and the head of that organization is going to be standing by to tell us about the pope's visit. and then we will talk to politics, and scott walker is out of of the race for the white house, and he is asking other gop candidates to follow his lead. will anybody listen? we will discuss. awe believe active management can protect capital long term. active management can tap global insights. active management can take calculated risks. active management can seek to outperform.

we are hours away from the arrival of pope francis here in the united states, and huge majority of the catholics are ready to welcome him warmly. and with a new cnn/orc poll, 78% are approving of the pope, and 22% say no, but they call him

the people's pope, and much of the e focus has been on people in need. and i am joined by the chancellor of catholic charities which is one of the places that the pope will visit, and give us a sense of what you hope the to achieve when the pontiff comes to visit catholic charities? >> well, when he speaks to the congre congress, he will come to our place in washington where we serve a meal wednesday night to 350 men and women, and he is go ing to be coming to share that experience and different because we will have tables in the street, and tablecloths on the tables, and he will bless the food, and greet the people and eat with them. >> it is going to be a lovely lunch, and i know that there are so many homeless here in the district of ocolumbia and you help them a lot, and the pope will meet with some of them? >> yes, and he is going to be walking in the church with 250 of our clients there, and we

serve 120,000 people a year, and some of them will be there to meet him and greet him, and some conversation, but he will be walking around to greet the people, and shake some hands, and hopefully to tell them that he cares about them and there to support them. >> and when he reaches tout the homeless in the nation's capital, you never ask them their religion. >> right, we don't do it because they are catholic, but we are catholic. and we do as catholics, and our question is how can we help you? >> and this pope is a role model for you? >> well, first of all the love of the poor, and he said i want a church that is poor for the poor. and he said, get out there like sheep, and get in there and he said to go with the periphery, and he is speaking of what we do everyday as catholic charities and many nonprofits and get out there among those in need. and so he is a role model of how we are called to live our catholic faith. >> and how did he come after the

address to the joint session of congress to come to meet with you? >> well, cardinal wuerl, our archbishop, and we have a weekly meal, and the cardinal has come there to eat with us, and get a chance to meet with the people, and he said, who is the best charity and we are the most comprehensive and the biggest with 65 different programs, and he said that is a good sign and symbol of what we do, and we do it every week, and we will do it with the pope as well. >> monsignor, have you met with the pope? >> i met pope john paul years ago with my mom, but this is the only time i will meet with a pope for any extended time. >> and give us a sense of the excitement. >> well, he is a hero, and he lives the gospel the way i want to live myselfb and he tries to say yes to people who need support and make people feel included, and that is my priesthood, too, and so when i have a chance to meet with him and frankly to be with him, i

will be lifted up myselves and i couldn't be more excited. i am psyched. really psyched. >> i believe you are. and so now, if people want to help the catholic charities in d.c., it is catholic charities.or charities.org. >> yes, we can have time, talent and treasures and vol unteer as well. >> thank you, father, for coming over. >> thank you, wolf. thank you for having us. >> and ben carson is facing more questions on his stance of muslims as he tries today to clarify his position. we will let you hear more of what he had to say on the subject after this. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... wait, what?! you realize i have gold status? do i still get the miles? new mucinex

sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. i brto get us moving.tein i'm new ensure active high protein. i help you recharge with nutritious energy and strength. i'll take that. yeeeeeah! new ensure active high protein. 16 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals. ensure. take life in.

let's go to politics now. republican presidential candidate ben carson said it is to forget hypotheticals when

asking about a muslim for president, and this is what he said in a speech in ohio moments ago. >> i don't care what a person's beliefs are or heritage is, if they embrace american culture, and if they embrace our constitution, and are willing to place that the above their religious beliefs, i have no problem with them. i heard are from a lot of muslim americans within the last 24 hours, and that i have worked with, that i have trained, they have operated on, and who say, we know you, and we understand exactly what you are talking about. this theoretical issue about muslims, it is not an important issue. >> and now, joining us are the cnn political commentators donna brazile, and amanda carpenter and our political contributor gloria borger. how long will this follow dr.

car sson? >> well, it will continue to follow him, and people who are dr. carson supporters agree with his argument that what he was saying is that he would not support a theocracy under any circumstance, but the people who support carson are not going to be leaving him, because of what others find offensive. >> and do you agree, amanda? >> well, he has a habit of saying thing, and walking back, and he is not up to speed on the issues aside from the comment. and this is brought to him himself, and donald trump. and the birther issue with donald trump, and scott walker's resignation is a rejection on where the party is going on the issue, and the way he is trying to unify the anti-trump vote, and trying to see people put an end to it, and stop it, and that is positive. >> and donna, you are a democrat, and how does this play down the road from the

democratic road? >> well, people are just appalled of the conversations that we are hearing from the republican side, and one week it is anchor babies and now there is a religion test, and it is bad for republican party and bad for america, and this level of incivility has no place in the process for the highest office of the land, and i remember that i was so proud to have joe lieberman on the ticket to have a jewish-american on the ticket. and so the notion that we can't put anybody on the ticket is absu absurd. >> and the fact that -- >> well, i thought that amanda did a good job so i took the next road. >> and it is not possible for him to answer the question to say, look, i'm a christian, and people go the iowa all of the time to convince them that they

are a christian, and reflect the same values and religion they have, and that is the way to steer the conversation, no muslims apply here. >> and now, donna, for all of the sudden to support evaporate, and in a way, in scott walker resigning from the race, he said this. >> i believe i am being called to lead by clearing the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same, so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive kon ser conservative alternative to the current frontrunners. >> so are the republican candidates going to follow his advice? >> i believe they will, but this is a deliberate shot across the bow to donald trump, and asterisk, and lindsey graham,

and george pataki, and for example, get out of the way, and let the real fight begin, and in telling donald trump and ben carson, i would argue, these sort of outsider candidates, that you are not leading the r party in the direction that we need to be led to donna's point, and we need to have a serious conversation that we need to have if we want to win this election, because talking about whether you would vote for a muslim for president is or whether carly fiorina is robotic is not the discussion that the republicans want to be having. >> and who do you think is going to be next as far as the dropout is concerned? >> well, if i were scott walker i would have said to bobby jindal and others, you first. and if you want to influence the direction of the party, i would have said is, i am dropping out of the race, and this is who i am behind so that the

republicans could win, and if you want to influence where we are going, be bold, and get out there, and say and have influence in direction of the party. >> he was in danger of being kicked down to the baby table, and rather than sit on the table with bobby jindal, my governor, and george pataki and so this is one of the shortest, and $22 million in 71 days, and he didn't get any lift, and not just donald trump. he did not have a message, and he had a big campaign that weighted him down, and four positions on some of the big issues, and i don't think that scott walker had a message for the american people. >> and he was a bad candidate and untested and he changed his mind on a bunch of things, and he could not say whether barack obama was a christian for example. fighting isis was like fighting labor unions in the state of wisconsin. >> absolutely. >> so he was a candidate who didn't perform well.

and if he had endorsed, what good would that have done anybody who he endorsed, because right now, there is a scramble on for the donors, but they are independent kind of people those donors, and they want to be court courted a little bit. >> yes. >> and i want to make a note on walker dropping out, he was a candidate that showed that he was not able to get up to speed quick enough, but two governors with highly successful state records are first to drop out, and i am stung by that, and stunned that they would be the first to drop out. >> yes. and gloria, you know who is doing well, marco rubio in the new poll, 11%, and what is driving the surge? >> well, first the debate performance, and marco rubio is a first-term senator, and we have had a first-term senator the as president, and a lot of the republicans said that you need a lot more experience than a first-term senator, and what he showed is the mastery of the foreign policy, and by comparison to donald trump for

example or ben carson for example, marco rubio, you know, did very well. and i think that the public took a look at at him at this young senator who is very, very well spoken, and who comes across with great authority, i thought, and started to giving him a second look. >> and the republicans want an alternative in case that ben carson and ted cruz and marco rubio is going to be the second look in the poll that you see. >> and they fear marco rubio, because they believe he can be a very effective candidate. >> and bush fears him. >> they are not playing up the rise in the polls, and they don't want to surge to the frontrunner status. >> and there is going to be a loss of enthusiasm if people don't come out to vote. >> and being the second choice is good sometimes. >> and encourage more debates, and see what happens. and the presidential candidates are becoming a fixture on late

night tv. last night we saw carly fiorina and ted cruz and bernie sanders take their turn. let's start with carly fiorina on the "tonight show" singing. >> i have two dogs, snickers and max, and i make up the song, and my mother and i used to sing together all of the time. >> it is dorky? >> dorky? well, my dogs are not dorky. >> well, i mean, i sing to my dogs and they are dorky. >> i'm fritz and i'm lazy and please don't take a walk with me and i'd rather sit right here in bed and i'd rather lie back down in my nice warm bed ♪ ♪ and i'm sick and you'll have to kcarry me ♪ >> very cute.

and on the stephen colbert show, they turned to same-sex marriage and states rights where ted cruz was. >> everything in the bill of rights is there, and so if you want to change the marriage law -- >> i am asking you what you want. >> i am believing in democracy, and i don't think that we should -- >> guys, guys. however you feel, he is my guest, and please don't boo him. >> nice touch from stephen colbert. and finally, bernie sandes s took his turn from larry wilmore show. >> and would you be comfortable with say like a weekend at

bernie's situation for that getting up for the rest of the administration? >> why not. i think that the good news is that i have been blessed with good health and a lot of endurance. >> and this, just for me, bernie, could you put on these sunglasses, just in case we have to do the "weekend at bernie's" thing, and do this. >> that's awesome. >> oh, that is awesome, there, bernie. >> and thanks. >> no, you may need to keep those, because you may need them. >> and "weekend at bernie's." that is awesome. and now, how transformed from a humble scholar into a rock star. and that is next.

in a little bit more than two hours from now, the plane carrying pope francis scheduled to touchdown at joint base andrews outside of washington, d.c., and that is where our correspondent jim sciutto is right now. and jim, set the scene for us. who is going to be greeting the pope when he lands? >> well, let me give you the range of the people greeting the pope. arriving now is the high school band from dematha high school, and he is going to meet about 300 of the children there, and the pope is very interest ed to meeting the young people, and right next to them you will have the president and the vice president and the daughters and granddaughters to greet the pope. and this is the first time that the president and the vice president have ever come here to meet a world leader here to give

a sense of how important the meeting s and not only them, but the mayor of washington, d.c., and this is an example of the red carpet rolled out for this very important visit, and the fir first visit by pope francis, and not just the pope, but in his lifetime, and what a welcome the people of washington are giving to the pope. >> and once the pope arrives, he is going inside of the diplomatic reception room to have a private meeting with the president and the vice president, right? >> that is exactly right. he will be coming to the terminal here which is a vip greeting terminal to sit down with the pope, and along with the first lady and his two da t daughters, and them, and private greet along with the white house photographer, and they will have a moment. and -- [ audio break ] and a gift from an argentine

wom woman, and there are often gifts givetone the pope, and not only that, but she has brought some of his favorite tea from south africa, and she is going to offer it to him, and he has taken it from crowds, but that is the warm welcome literally and figuratively here at joint base andrews. >> historic indeed. jim, we will get back to you, and the pope is riding a wave of popularity between catholic, and non-catholics which is unpresented. the cnn/orc pope shows that 63% of americans view the pope as favorable. and that popularity did not happen overnight. a cnn special report tells that story. >> reporter: he is a pope, like no other. >> tens of thousands of fans coming out to see the pope.

>> reporter: pope francis is changing the vatican and challenging tradition. >> i think that he really opened a new chapter in the history of the church. >> reporter: from the slums of buenos aires to the streets of st. peter. for those who know him best. >> are you ready? are you ready? >> reporter: pope francis, rock star, reformer. the people's pope. that is cnn new day anchor chris cuomo who is joining us to talk about this special documentary, and you are in charge of that, chris. a humble man with humble roots starting out in the church much differently than he wound up. >> no doubt and it, wolf, a privilege for me to work in this cog in the machine of the

docume documentary work, and it is so exhaustive that this treatment of the pope as a man really takes you back to the place where it began and not just buenos aires, but to where he started and in order to understand the message and the authenticity of it whether it is authentic or manufactured as dogma, you have to understand the person, and so we go back to not only where he is from, but from whom he is from, and the friends who have known him longest, and oscar krespo who has known him for 60-plus years, a and the pope's rabbi, and why would he have a rabbi, and you will learn in the documentary tonight. and one anecdote, and he is a child with small handwriting, and today, he has small handwriting and the teacher says, jorge, your writing is so small that you are trying to trick me, and he says you need

larger handwriting, and he says, who am i to have big handwriting, and he carries it as a humility the. and so they carry it as a crucible to carryt u forward to what matters and the rule. and the pope says that the rules don't come first, love and mercy comes first, and if the rules don't enable the love and mercy, then they are worth nothing. so it is a big dividing moment within the church to figure out who it is, and we see it in politics, too, as the pope comes to town, and it couldn't be better, and understanding the man couldn't be more important. >> what surprised you most, chris, about pope francis? >> the awe then tuthenticity, a it is cynicism, and i am catholic, and one of the reason that the numbers are adduced because we have six catholics running on the gop side, and also, we have three in the

supreme court justices, and so people molded to the goals and the aims because of the job, but this man, you may honestly say you may not agree or like what he is about or preaches on certain levels, but it is is him. it is always has been him, and it is him to the core. >> chris cuomo, an amazing job, and you and the entire documentary unit, and we can't wait to see it later. chris, you should know that the pope's plane on the way to the united states is now just going to be going into the u.s. air space. and once again, the people's pope airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. up next, iran is flexing the military muscle and top commanders are weighing in on isis and the nuclear deal and what they say might surprise you. we are going to teheran. stay with us.

dayquil liquid gels and go. hey buddy, let's get these but these liquid gels are new. mucinex fast max. it's the same difference. these are multi-symptom. well so are these. this one is max strength and fights mucus. that one doesn't. uh...think fast! you dropped something. oh...i'll put it back on the shelf... new from mucinex fast max. the only cold and flu liquid gel that's max-strength and fights mucus. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this.

iran is flexing the military muscle in a parade of teheran and despite the force, some of the country's top brass is worried that to a deal with the military could weaken our military. fred pleitgen has a special report from teheran that you will see only on cnn. a massive show of force as iran kicks off the defense week under row han rouhani. he is in a battle of the

extremists. you must be dreaming, the chief of the military staff, tells me. they created isis, they lie in politics and lie in security. the americans have a totally different nature than us these differences will never allow us to cooperate even if we have common interests. while while the military will become stronger, some top commanders have been highly critical of his talks with the west and the deal. the sacred defense commemorates the end of the war in 1980, but this year it has special significance because many in iran's military leadership should be weakened because of the nuclear agreement. iran's military faces sanctions that prevent the country from acquiring a lot of sophisticated equipment. the general wanted those

restrictions lifted from the nuclear agreement but most of them will remain in place. the commander of the militia tells me he's generally wary of the deal. i think the americans have built tricks into the deal to deceive us, he says. we have to be very careful. we can't fall into their trap. the head of iran's ground forces is more positive. it took some trust to sign the nuclear agreement in the first place, he says. but the trust building needs to continue and the americans should really change the threatening language. as iran celebrates the martyrs of past wars, some of its leaders are concerned about the future of the force as a country embarks on a a new phase in relations with the west. >> what can you tell us about an announcement today by iran's revolutionary guard? >> reporter: absolutely, wolf.

this came through state run media and the guard commander for defense and arrow space announced there would be new missile tests that they are going to conduct. they didn't give a time frame. only they would be conducted soon. also said the tests will be conducted despite the recent nuclear agreement. and even with that nuclear agreement, we know there are still restrictions on iran's ballistic missile programs that could deliver nuclear war heads. so the iranians are saying despite that, there are still going to be that they have the right to do that. it all plays into the big debate that's going on here in iran about whether or not iran should latch on to the nuclear agreement. there are some highly critical in the military as well. we had that debate only a couple days ago when the iaea was able to go to the military site making clear that this was a courtesy visit and there were no

inspectors on hand when samples were taken from that site. >> excellent reporting, great access, fred. we're going to be checking back with you. thank you very much for that report. china's president, meanwhile, begins his trip to the united states. how his visit could lead to a new understanding of the cyber battles between the two countries. we have new information.

let's get to wall street for a moment. a quick check of the market right now. there you see the dow down 243 points. analysts say there isn't one big event driving the sell off, but lower prices on oil is and other commodities have been adding to investors' negative.

outlike. pope francis isn't the only high profile visitor. c china's president just landed in seattle just a little more than an hour ago. . while there he will visit microsoft and other high-tech companies before moving on to washington, d.c. and a visit to the white house. lately the u.s. and china have been at odds over trade fights. it means there's a lot of work to do on this trip. >> streets are already closed just behind us for the president's monumental visit here to seattle. she's doing thihe's doing thing differently. presidents usually go to ivy league schools and instead visiting a tacoma. high school. a high school visited on a previous trip. at the heart of all of this is technology. he's coming with some of the most important leaders from china. the heads of companies that will be meeting with the most

important american tech ceos. scheduled to meet are the heads of amazon and apple and many american companies have real concerns about what's going on in china. they'd like to make a presence or increase their presence in china, but they are concerned about the chinese government having an ever tighter grip around the internet there. at the same time, this all lays the foundation for what could happen when he goes to washington and new york. many people are expecting the obama administration to announce some type of alascord. but it won't a address the cyber hacking, which the american government alleges is targeting american corporations. they say this framework could be some type of a way to set standards so the two countries agree not to go after the critical cyber infrastructure. this means the banking system, the power grid as well as hospitals.

i'm reporting from seattle. >> that's it for me. for our international visitors "amanpo "amanpour" is up next. for american viewers, brooke baldwin is up next. i'm brooke baldwin is and you're watching the special coverage of a moment that will go down in history. the pontiff is about to set foot on u.s. soil for the very first time in his 78 years. and we will be there as president obama greets him at joint base andrews. pope francis will be arriving first in our nation's capital in washington, c. you see the schedule ahead of you. br coming to new york and on to philadelphia. five days of history expected to draw crowds by the hundreds of thousands. and with
