This will be as fresh to all of us as it is to everyone around the world when the president delivers it. But i think those two

If the president comes in we will cut to the president ok still tracking major delays both into. And out of San Francisco check out this nasty back up across the golden gate crews are working with an injury accident which was originally reported as northbound at the north tower but that it also came in a southbound at the north showers so were chill still trying to figure out if its blocking in both directions or not were definitely seeing major delays on both sides over to the right this is traffic heading out of San Francisco, you only have 2 lanes and so is backing up all the way across the span through the toll plaza now its spilling on to doyle and it looks like theyre running traffic breaks southbound which is on the left because sometimes when i look at the golden gate.
