i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, saving us from ourselves. a superhero saving america, just like clark kent, the original 1950 superman. faster than a speeding bullet. more powerful than a locomotive. able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. look, up in the sky, it s a bird. it s a plane. it s super bloomberg. he came to new york city with powers and abilities far more than mortal men. super bloomberg has banned smoking in bars and parks. forced restaurants to stop using transfats as his bare hands and he is really fighting for america s health, saying you can t buy a big gulp. it s a shot heard from coast to coast, the mayor planning to ban the sale of all sugary drinks sold in containers larger than 16 ounces. including energy drinks and presweetened iced teas. former president bill clinton weighed in. i know a lot of people think this is an anti-state and he is interfering, but these are very serious problems. and there are a lot of things in our diet th
and we ve got a lot of breaking news today. the jury in the john edwards federal corruption trial reaches a verdict on just one of the six counts against the one-time presidential hopeful. the defense asks for a mistrial, but the judge tells the jury they ve got to keep at it. let s go straight to cnn s senior correspondent, joe johns. he s in greensboro, north carolina. joe, what is going on down there? reporter: well, you know, it gets stranger and stranger every minute. quite frankly, just a few minutes ago, gloria, we got the word to stay tuned. it may not be over yet, even for today. the jury just sent yet another note to judge katherine eagles here in greensboro. we re waiting to hear the contents of that note. they ve been a very communicatetive juror. it could be they just want to talk about scheduling. usually around 4:30 eastern time is usually when the jury breaks for the day. but recapping, it s been a very unusual and probably most extraordinary day in the ent

i want to ask you, the president can move markets, cause miscalculations. you mentioned north korea, iran with calm before the storm. an implication that there s some sort of forecasting of a military action. can you clarify if we re interpreting things correctly? i haven t been specific about anything. i ve also talked about the fact that we re continuing to put maximum economic and diplomatic pressure on countries like north korea. i m saying that all options are on the table as they have been and we re not going to announce what actions we ll be taking until that moment comes. why did he say that? can you be more specific about the president being open to legislation banning bump stocks? as i said yesterday, we want to be part of that conversation. we want more information.
