3:31 am
3:32 am
president biden is the first catholic vice president of the united states. we should mention by the way, we are not expecting any remarks here at joint base andrews either from the president or the pope. the pope has had a long couple days. once he leaves andrews after greeting everyone he is going to be heading into washington and he will be resting for the rest of the day and the rest of the evening before the rest of his busy schedule. allen pizzey has come off the plane behind the pope. allen, what are you seeing? >> reporter: what i am seeing is what you are seeing. i am seeing something you are not. i covered a couple dozen arrivals of the pope in countries. this is completely different. there are more press and fewer people than generally show up. some of the more restrictions ones there are less people. what is interesting, what you mention, no welcoming speech. invariably when we get off the papal plane, there is a lectern,
3:33 am
microphone, podium, covered area. the pope has to make a speech and head of state makes a speech. interestingly when raul castro met with the pope when he arrived on saturday in havana, he made a very long speech. much longer than the pope's. in that speech he basically tried to equate the ideals of the revolution of the cuban revolution with the ideals of christianity. a the cubans are kind of cooperating with the church because they need the church for a number of reasons not least of them being that the church helps them put in changes that they can slide off under the guise of the church, knuckling under. different than other receptions. a little more orderly than some i have seen. >> chip reid on the receiving end of the pope. there at the residence where the pope will be staying tonight. chip. >> scott, i will reverse roles here.
3:34 am
i have a question for you. you can see the children behind me. we saw the pope at joint base andrews. how he reacts to children there i think you are going to see more here. there are about 200 of them here. scott, in rome, you saw in the vatican, vatican city, you saw what the pope is like with children. tell us about that if you would. >> we had an opportunity to visit with the pope at vatican's invitation at the pope's general assembly which they have every wednesday, 20, 30, 40,000 people come to see the pope in the general assembly. and you could tell, chip, he had a special affection for the children in the group. he would be driving through in the popemobile. we are told he has a way of banging on the popemobile to tell the driver to stop. he gets off the popemobile and greets children, greets the handicapped in particular. people that he sees in the crowd who he believes need a special blessing. and the pope has also pulls out all of the brides and grooms that have come for a blessing at
3:35 am
the general audience. raises them on the steps of st. peter's basilica. really has a great time greeting all of the young catholic families. and posing for selfies. he is selfless in the age of the selfie. as he goes through all of those people. and as the father was saying, the pope is 78 years old. greeting 40,000 people every wednesday at the vatican. yet he goes through the entire process, hours, and seems to be invigorated by that. a remarkable man for a remarkable time. about 1,000 people were invited to come out to andrews today to greet the pope. you can hear them chanting out there. the pope waving at the grandstand. the sound of the honor guard as
3:36 am
he approaches. as we mentioned this is francis' first trip to the united states in his life. it his going to be interesting to see what he makes of us. we had an opportunity to speak with him at the vatican recently. and we asked him what, what is your goal for your trip to america? and he raised his hands up, and he said to meet the people. just to meet them. and he is certainly going to have a great opportunity to do that over the next several days. that is the vatican, little over a week ago. we had an opportunity. he was keeping his cards close to the vest. we asked him if he would talk about dispossessed or immigration when he spoke to the joint meeting of congress. he smiled broadly, and lifted his hands again, and he said i will speak to whatever the holy spirit guides me to speak to.
3:37 am
and so we are going to have to wait until that meeting to hear what is on the mind of francis. here he is getting into, mind you, a very modest car. a small fiat, not a big limousine, not anything, any other head of state would be getting into. but this is something that he insists upon. everywhere he goes. and at the vatican. he got rid of the vatican limousine. and, ride around in a blue ford focus. because he believes that the pope should set the example of humility and living a modest life. [ cheers and applause ] so unusual in washington to see a head of state driving away in such a modest little car.
