[ cheers ] >> hes about 200 feet from the cathedral. i can see him from our location and i got to say its an extraordinarily sight to actually see the pope for having covered him for so long, to suddenly see him in person. hes now pulling up in front of st. patricks. you can see the media risers where we are. and hes just about to be greeted by the mayor of new york, the governor of new york, senator of new york, chuck schumer and the others. >> its amazing when you think about this, anderson, t...

Leaders of the united states, some of whom were more moved to tears just in his presence. but i think its fair to say his face lit up among homeless people, especially homeless children. thats when he really -- you really saw his glow. >> i think he loves all people equally, but hes attracted to some people more. and he really loves to go to the poor, particularly to the young. we knew when he was archbishop of buenos aires he loved going into the slums. the same here. i think those who helped p...

Ride to 51st or so to st. patrick patricks. >> it will probably be the fastest trip from downtown to midtown and new york city ever clocked. thats just a mess sewaasure of security and its interesting, youve heard that the pope bristoling a little bit at the severity of the security in washington if only because it keeps him from connecting with people, to touch, reach out and touch people. i noted when he landed at jfk a short time ago, he immediately went to the crowd, took gifts from them inc...

There is no pedestrians and you see the high fencing designed by the nypd as its impossible to scale at least quickly. the pope will come from that back seat into the popemobile for the remainder of the motorcade to st. patricks. the pope greeting i think that is police commissioner bratten.
