But like i could see better with these and this is where we have our Public Service announcement trends. If youre going to watch the eclipse, make sure that the real glasses like if your finger can go through the glasses, that will let you know that those are not the ones that you want to use, so that you can protect your eyes these are the ones that you want. Make sure they fit. The international standards. And these can give you a third eye of wisdom. You can see right here in the center, it says, it clips times two. Well, thats because carville will have to eclipses in a matter of six months. We have the map from nasa. Take a look because this is really fascinating x mark the spot. There was an annular eclipse back in october and you see The Path Of Totality there. Theres another eclipse today and you see The Path Of Totality. And in the center, thats worked is now i talked to the mayor of this city about this. She was very excited. Shes welcoming people from all over the world. She has already declared a disaster in the town, not because you think it will be a disaster even though they do say that this town has been getting calls about, well, is this going to be the apocalypse . Is this the end of the point of no return, no friends, nothing like that. They are going to have counterflow according to the mayor wants totality is over to make sure that everyone can get out of town safely and the mayor also told me that she tapped into the supernatural to make sure that these 100,000 people that are expected to be here, well get a good show. Take a listen concerns, of course, is the weather, weather, but im be clear. When nauta not re i checked my magic ball morning it says no rain. And were going to be able to see it so what else does that magic ball ill have to look harder itself. The lottebers because if oh, no, i want those two. Thats the secret, is that i can i can share now. Okay. I borrowed that crystal ball from her and i can see good weather people cheering people, having a good time and kate, i think i see the lottery numbers, but i dont think im going to share those ways to myself. Wait, wait, wait a second. Now this is actually serious because i was not an oregon and did not win powerball. So we need to discuss thank you so much. I cannot wait to see what props come up next shes got an entire suitcase of them raising roses, got view from texas for us. All day long. She understood the assignment. Exactly. She had props, she had everything going for her. When youve got t minus seven hours to show im you, just bring out the process she was on a stage and we were ill adjust the audience drawing the whole thing. Speaking of which its people are staking out their spots like rosa to see the eclipse millions are hoping. And even using Crystal Balls to try to be in the way the clear sky, so that they can see everything perfectly. Most of you will get one including one guy who traveled to mexico just for this eclipse. Listen mazatlan is one of our Favorite Places in the world and we wanted to come here to see the eclipse and the town is full of people. Its absolutely packed with tourists here for the eclipse. And its so wonderful and it came to this. I had to think at all out laid on the calendar and im ready. Im ready to go all a all i need is clear, scott, such as surreal experience, you cant even explain what its like to be in a totally collapse you think youre going to know then youre like, oh, i wasnt expecting that i love how excited people are. So who is on deck for the best viewing cnns Allison Chinchar has the forecast. I think that a lot of people are going to be print deep, pretty darn happy with yes, there are going to be plenty of spots that is gordon going to have pretty good viewing today . Some of those include keeps jurado, missouri. Weve got egg evansville, indiana, carbondale, illinois, and then another good spot farther off to the north basically from burlington, vermont, all the way up through caribou main, going to see some fantastically clear skies hi, there are going to be some troublespots, namely much of the area in texas and portions of arkansas on the reason for that is, we have the potential for some strong to severe thunderstorms later on today. Now the good news is the bulk of those storms will actually be after the eclipse, but we all know a lot of those clouds are going to Start Building ahead of time. And its how quickly can those clouds increase during the eclipse time thats going to be a concern, but also after is everyone is leaving the event is over. Maybe theyre heading back home. They may end up encountering some of these strong to severe thunderstorms that will include large hail damaging winds and the potential for some strong thunderstorms, especially through the evening hours. So lets say youre traveling to three, even four hours away. You may encounter some of those, but again, we also have some really good spots to take. For example, indianapolis, a lot of those clouds are going to be decreasing through the day. So even if you wake up this morning and you look outside and you see those clouds dont worry, we are going to start to see a lot of those fadeaway during the day today. Another good spot, as we mentioned, burlington, vermont still looking at plenty of Sunshine Guys to be able to see that optimal viewing later on today.

Limited time ive been touring the world with my music and now i want to focus on whats happening to our planet carbon, a cnn film sunday, april 21 at nine cnn breaking news. All right. The breaking News Donald Trump has just released a Video Message on h picy on a overnight. Heies that He Woul Releang a statement that statement is now out at question has been would donald trump come out with a definitive position on where he stands on a federal national ban on abortion over the las several months, he has talked about possibly a 15 week ban. Beenoing through i cnns Ve Alayna Treenis with us now, does see, in fact, take a definitive stand. Ala he does not what he says is that this should be left to the states anyou also takes Credir Overrning roe versusade. While again, its stl seemg a bit vague about where he ands and look, this is something that donald trump has done for the entire time on the Campaign Trail thus far, despite many people im an outside groups antiabortion allies, pressuring him to clarify his position on abortion. He is avoided doing so because he believes that the issue is a political loser, especially for republicans in a general election year. And thats kind of where this video leaves us. It doesnt give many answers into exactly what, how many weeks because weve heard donald trump repeatedly say or float, i should say, of 15 week are 16 week abortion ban. This says that its up to the states. And again, he does take credit for stacking the Supreme Court with three conservative justices in overturning roe versus wade, but also doesnt go as far as many people on the right. And in the Conservative Movement wanted him to do. And so thats kind of where this statement leaves us this morning. Of course, were still going through it, but i think again, donald trump isnt leaning very hard into a National Abortion ban. He is saying, look, this is a states issue and its also the statement we saw his team release last week and news of the florida law, the sixweek Abortion Menn being slated to take peck effect in a couple of weeks now, they had said, look, donald trump believes in preserving life. Again, another vague statement from the campaign, but also insisted that he believes that should be a states decision and thats kind of where donald trump in the statement leaves us on the issue today donald trump is a resident of the state of florida on the ballot in florida this november will be a six week ban on abortion. Does this statement or does the campaign give any indication where he comes down on that issue . So far they havent. And i think thats again because they recognize the politics of this issue. They really do not want to be waiting too deeply into this fight despite knowing that democrats, this is one of their main issues and one of republicans biggest vulnerabilities for the election. I have asked the campaign how would donald trump vote on this as a florida resident, he will have the right to vote on the constitutional amendment when it comes up in november they have refused so far to say what he will do instead, they really are trying to say that this is about the states decision that for many years conservatives, people of the Prolife Movement have wanted abortion to be the states that he overturned roe versus wade. And so thats where it should continue to be. But again, i dont think this is going to leave many of those people happy, particularly those who voted on this issue and helped him in 20 he 16 get into the white house because of this issue. I think it will leave a lot of his allies on that front not totally fulfilled by what he is saying today. So he came out with a statement he promised, but what he promised is still fairly vague this morning, alayna treene. Thank you very much for that update.
