Seems like it happens more often down there. This is one of the many reasons i say out of the water. Good morning everyone. I am in seminole. I am juliet hardy. He does not say krahn right. Its national bunsen burner day. I would like everyone to think about the bunsen burner in their life and give them a call later on today. Do you have a favorite . I do not. Its the whole thing has flames coming out. Is any celebration that happens . We will do that outside. I am advocating for wildlife. They probably does exist. It will be a nice day. Yes.

We will stay dry and there will be a few clouds rolling into the afternoon. They are coming in ahead of the system that gets here tomorrow.

We have a couple of high clouds out there and we will start out with mostly sunny conditions throughout the reason. We watch for the rainmaker sitting off to the west and its producing precipitation across the great lakes. It will affect us tomorrow and thats not the case today.

Southbound and northbound and for the cross bronx , moving find both ways and no problems with the trains. Street cleaning rules are in effect. Donald trumps comment on abortion during the town hall meeting has sparked a lot of outrage. He is backtracking on his stance. We will bring in robert moses to tell us what was said in the strong reaction to it. Been in juliet back to you. Donald trump is made a habit of saying controversial things. It might be among the most controversial of all. Even those who are prolife spoke out against what he said. The question now is will his words damage his poll numbers. Do you believe in the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. There has to be some form. I dont know. Donald trumps comments are swift and bipartisan condemnation. Bernie sanders conned them shameful and Hillary Clinton called them horrific and telling. What he said today was outrageous and dangerous. His fellow republicans criticized him and ted cruz said once again donald trump has demonstrated that he hasnt seriously thought through the issues and he will say anything to get attention. John kasich is in queens yesterday and hit trump hard. I think donald trump will figure out a way to say that he did not say it he was misquoted but i dont think its an appropriate response. Its difficult enough situation. One of the only people people misspeak all the time but with him , everyone makes a big deal over it. A few hours after he backtracked and in a statement he said that if abortion is banned, the doctor or any other person performing the illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not woman. The woman is a victim in the case , as is the life in her womb. Donald trump has had a hard time appealing to women and that is no secret. Remember the ad . Also remember the run and that Trumps Campaign manager had with the female reporter. The next big contest to terry Pay Attention to is tuesday in wisconsin and ted cruz is leaving trump there. We will have to see if it has any effect on his performance. New york is coming on april 19. Thank you, robert. Trumps republican rival, ted cruz made a late night jimmy kimmel show. He said he will stop what he calls the obamacare disaster. He will challenge the cruise on Police Monitor the neighborhoods in the wake of a increased extremism. Cruz did not waver. This threat is growing and people will tell you they are frustrated with it and with the president. They are frustrated with Hillary Clinton. They will not acknowledge what we are facing. They are not supporting doing anything effective to fight it. If you want to fight it, you have to call it by its name. You have to use the tools that you have to defeat it. Keep america safe. Kimmel also asked cruz who he likes better, trump or obama. He says he disliked obamas policies but if he saw trump on the backup camera he would not know which battle to use. How candidates eat pizza. John kasich eating a slice at ginos on howard beach in queens. It was with a knife and a four. Governor, you have to do better than that. Didnt you learn the lesson . Why does he have to succumb to all of this silly pure pressure. Who decided this . I was in italy. I was sitting with italian people eating pizza with a fork. Technically its an american creation so we would know how to do it but anyway he did remedy this. Someone whispered in his ear and he picked up the rest and eat it with his hands. To try to remedy it he went behind the counter and threw it out. Why cant we just have candidates to say you are not going to pressure me i want to eat it with a if i want to eat it with a fork we may be. Both candidates are here new york. Hillary can is in westchester on the campus and Bernie Sanders will be at st. Marys park in the bronx. Sanders makes a comeback in the primary. Now hes pushing for a debate here in new york with clinton. He picked up several big wins in some big states and he is the Clinton Campaign scrambling. If the Democratic Party wants a strong candidate that will defeat trump or some other republican and beat them badly , i think i am a candidate. I think it matters where we stand in delegates. Frankly, in the popular vote. Right now im gratified that i have more votes than anyone in the election. Its nearly 9 million. Its more than donald trump and its more than Bernie Sanders. New york holds the primaries on april 19. Battle comes on tuesday in wisconsin. Batman and spiderman the penguin showed up at yesterdays city council meeting. They will voice their opinions on the proposal to section of the plaza in times square. They will keep the characters limited to one area. Teresa pillow is in times square and she has the latest. I hope you are in the zone. To think i am. I might carry your right now. Im not a pedestrian so i dont know where im supposed to be. Even superman strangles no match for the citys plan that they have in place. The characters are frequent times square got a chance to have their voices heard on his own proposal. Its not the Justice League but these superheroes and villains are hoping gotham will do right by them. Abandoning the proposal to section off the plans i like times square. And tell me they want to take pictures with me. Its not my fault. Josi Escalona Martinez doubles as the dark knight. He is charged with Disorderly Conduct on more than one occasion for being too aggressive searching for a tip. The proposed law he is referring to gives new yorkers and touristy fighting chance at getting through times square unscathed by breaking up these into zones. If lausanne is marked by tape for pedestrians. The activities on his four characters. That will be defined highly visible areas providing ample space for commercial act heavily , entertainment , solicitation. Without impeding those passing through. The dot will regulate the zones. They say these activities will be about the size of the city bus. For what its worth, the in my opinion organizes everything thats already going on. Tourist agree and they say its about time. Mickey mouse goes crazy on you and you dont give him a five or 10 tip. We do everything big in texas but that is wrong. As far as the proposals concern, goes to a vote on april 7 and is not times square specific. Here specifically, this would be divided into eight zones. The dot says they would have it up and running in may or june. Quickly, you are italian fork or knife or with your hands .

It quickly started circulating on social media getting mixed reactions. Despite the roles of the show being written, the civil rights Attorney Says the show cannot prevent a white actor or someone who is not in their 20s and 30s from auditioning. You cannot tell any actor that he cant come to the audition because of the color of his skin thats whether you are black or white. If the Production Company is doing that, its illegal. If the Production Companies or hispanic actors, thats illegal. In a statement hamilton producers say they regret the confusion and will change the language. They added that they will welcome people of all ethnicities. Just to weigh in, i never using ike and fork. Jumping on the bandwagon. Everyone has overruled.

What he said today was outrageous and dangerous. The fellow republicans criticized him and ted cruz is an eight statement, once again, he has demonstrated issues and he will say anything to get attention. John kasich is in queens yesterday and he hit him hard. I think donald trump will figure out a way that he did not say it or he was misquoted but i dont think so. I dont think its an appropriate response and is difficult enough. One of the only people who came to his defense is Chris Christie. People misspeak all the time with him , Everyone Wants to make a big deal over it. After making his remarks, trump backtracked and he said if abortion is banned, the doctor or any other person performing the legal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible , not the woman.
