john: mike barnicle is back tonight.

mika brzezinski and mike barnicle.nd i noticed a sadness whenever the faith was brought up before francis. it's something you guys usually didn't verbalize on the air but sort of a world weariness. it has evaporated since. you all both are proud to be a member of this pope's church. that's a remarkable transformation into hard-bitten worldly-wise reporters. >> for the past 10 to 12 years where ray and i live in greater boston, we've had parish after parish closed, shuttered. >> one scandal after another. >> the few churches that were available to you to go to daily or sunday mass, you would walk in, and it would look like an assisted living facility. the average age would be about 92. last sunday, ray, i went to mass on the campus of boston college and it was thrilling to be there at st. ignatius. it was packed. the average age was maybe 25, 26 years of age. again, a jesuit ministry. but -- this pope, this particular pope, has helped bring the church back i think in the eyes of many lapsed catholics. >> i think, as you

>> on set we have mike barnicle and you were really making fun of lewis there. >> yeah, you were. >> a little bit mean. i'd like to see you try it. >> mike, mika, a big day yesterday. i think "the new york times" reports securing the votes needed to save the iran deal. >> we'll have more on that in a few moments. i can't get my eyes off the image next to that of the migrant child,.3-year-old boy. >> there is a more horrific picture than that that they chose not to display which is the body of the infant alone in the waves as the waves crest up over the body. it's horrific. it is horrific. the situation is horrific. their inability to deal with it is horrific. >> i'm absolutely stunned by how badly europe is set up to handle this crisis. and they've got to do something. the idea that you get into one country, you can move freely across, what, 28? >> yeah. >> and it's just -- this is a crisis that's going to continue until europe changes their rules. it's horrific. it's heartbreaking. >> we can address that with some of our guests today. we certainly should. we have a lot of politics to

mike barnicle, he's such a unique pope., born in argentina, the first jesuit pope as you've brought up and the first pope ordained after vatican ii. i want to ask you for yourself how unique last night. talk to us not only as a reporter but as a practicing catholic, what was it like for you to be sitting in st. peters or sitting last night and watching the pope? >> joe, i told you earlier and i'm not embarrassed to tell you again that it was a hugely emotional moment, evening vespers at st. patrick, to have this pope enter the cathedral, beautiful cathedral and pass by people who have received invitations, some very poor people, school teachers, nurses among them, not that they're poor, nuns, a flock of nuns and then encountered billionaires along the way as he came down the center aisle, all of them wandering out to try and touch the pope or take a picture of the pope, the sentiment, the aura around this man is incredible. he epitomizes for me and many other catholics the roots of the church, matthew 25, i was hungry and y

we have this bizarre thing going on, mike barnicle. candidate leading the republican party that all of the wise guys say isn't going to win the nomination. we've got a guy that may be starting to lead in new hampshire and possibly in iowa that all of the wise guys are saying are never going to be the nominee. margaret sullivan can say whatever she wants to say. maybe it helps her sleep better at night but they're not giving the guy who is an insurgent on the democratic side 1/100th of the coverage they give donald trump or hillary clinton and we figured this out three or four days ago that we have to play more bernie sanders. we sent a memo out saying we need more bernie sanders stories. i don't know why "the new york times" public editor's head is in the stand. >> right up at the top it mentions that he's a socialist who aligns himself with the caucus and democratic senate. he's not speaking to socialists. he's speaking to american citizens. they're nodding their heads. he has enormous crowds. he has enormous support. the demographic

ambassador what mike barnicle was talking about, a new focus with this pope.ocuses on the poor, the underprivileged. even challenging us in a way that past popes have not, talking about our obsession on rampant materialism is misplaced. >> that's exactly right. michael barnacle is right. this is pope francis. i met pope francis, jorge bergoglio, way back. this is who he was. man of humility. man of simplicity. i saw him walking the streets of rome and had a cappuccino with him. he is no security around him. this is the way he was when he was archbishop of argentina way back when. but you know, there is something else, joe. i mean, i hope the people of america, in his first visit, get a chance to really see this, the goodness of this man. right now, to be honest with you, i am a little concerned that it's become so political, you know. the trip to cuba. raul castro, fidel castro, the white house, the congress, the united nations. to be honest i can't wait until he gets to philadelphia and meets the real people and he hears their stories and meets the handicappe

mike barnicle. >> ms. freiorina, you lost a child.nduring and going through that experience, what did it teach you about yourself? >> well, i think that during that experience, as well as my battle with cancer i learned that love and faith heal all, if given enough time. i learned that life isn't measured in time, it's measured in love and positive contribution and moments of grace. and i have had good times and bad in my life as all of us had, i have been tested by life. i've also felt enough of those moments of grace and i'm grateful for the love i have from my family, i'm grateful for my faith and i want to continue to make a positive contribution every day. that is why i'm running for president because i think every american deserves the opportunity to fulfill their potential and use their god-given gifts. that's an opportunity i've had in this nation. >> willie geist. >> i thought that was one of the most powerful moments of the night when she talked about her daughter. i'll embarrass you one more. the question after the second r
