Let's say good morning now 111 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.879 to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, Plans are being put 112 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.480 in place for the funeral of Pope Francis. They just 113 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.480 announced the date and President Trump and First Lady Milania 114 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.240 will attend. 115 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.959 Yes The President said yesterday that he and the First 116 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.399 Lady will be going to Pope Francis's funeral in Rome 117 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.800 that the Vatican had announced will take place now it 118 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.279 Saturday morning, ten o'clock Rome time. The President said in 119 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.800 a social media post yesterday, we look forward to being there. 120 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.759 He signed an executive order yesterday to have the flags 121 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.600 flown across the nation at half staff to mark the 122 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.759 death of Pope Francis, a sign of respect. 123 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.480 He gave brief remarks. 124 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.079 Yesterday at the Easter egg Rolls, standing on a balcony there, 125 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.279 saying that Pope Francis was a good man, he worked hard, 126 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.759 he loved world, and he later told reporters that he, 127 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.160 especially the Pope especially love people who are having a 128 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.079 hard time. And as the President said, that's good with me. 129 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:10.600 Uh. 130 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.920 You mentioned that he signed an executive order. 131 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.839 I didn't know they had to have an executive order 132 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.360 to have flags fly at half staff. 133 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.079 It's like a formality thing a president has to do it. 134 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.360 They put out the official release like that exactly. 135 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:23.079 Okay. 136 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.560 So it's interesting to me because I think until the 137 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.399 last few administrations, they used to do lots of executive orders, 138 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.279 but they were all small, more like that's more of 139 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.319 a housekeeping thing, you know, than these big, broad things 140 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:38.399 that we're seeing now. 141 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.040 I think it's kind of interesting that. 142 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.759 You know, he's doing this because Congress isn't doing legislation. 143 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.720 I mean, this is because the president wants to show action, 144 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.600 you know, showing that he is signing things, whether or 145 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.839 not it's big things tariffs or modest things that maybe 146 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.160 are going to immediately get challenged in court. You know, 147 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.439 there isn't legislation that versus sending him that, you know, 148 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.480 especially on his big agenda. So this is his way 149 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.920 to say, look what we're doing. 150 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.279 Yeah, okay, So back to the pope. Sorry, got side fright. 151 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.519 So for his funeral, which they just announced is going 152 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.120 to be Saturday, are is kind of everybody from around 153 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.600 the world coming to this? 154 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:20.959 Is everybody invited? 155 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.959 I don't know, that's something that the Vatican handles. We 156 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.240 haven't seen yet who else would be going. It was 157 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.199 just a president saying yesterday he would be attending. You know, 158 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.080 I would think they extend the invitations to world leaders dignitaries, 159 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.600 as we've seen in previous passings of popes. I think 160 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.000 it'd be notable to see if former President Biden goes. 161 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.120 He had a very close relationship with Pope Francis. President 162 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.559 Obama knew him as well, not the same way that 163 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.840 President Biden did, but you know, it's a chance for 164 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.320 those presidents to pay their respects to somebody that they 165 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.399 met with in Washington. 166 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.480 Absolutely someone who worked to change the world.
