The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge

To make it a little more interesting, the Speaker says to the Pope, "Did

and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice."
The Speaker seriously doubts this, and says so. "One little wave of your
hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me."
