The countdown is on for the big finish to our 24hour marathon 100 weddings in one day and it has been an incredible event. Look at elvis there.

Right here youre about to look at a ceremony in south korea just moments ago and so much more of our celebration coming up and some very big surprise guest, as well. A lot of surprises this morning. I hugged one of our surprise guests this morning. It was very nice. Yes, all right. Were excited about that. A lot more to come but first we want to get to the big headline this morning, the race for president and those violent riots breaking out overnight. The images stunning at Donald Trumps rally in california. This all as the candidates prepare for the critical indiana primary just four days away. Abcs cecilia vega has the latest from evansville. There is a lot to talk about, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. This is a critical battleground here and the main newspaper here is announcing its support of Hillary Clinton and john kasich calling donald trump, quote, a danger to the United States and to the world. Overnight, Donald Trumps first california rally was met by hundreds of protesters who clashed with police in riot gear, they jumped on police car, drove doughnuts, nearly 20 were arrested. One trump supporter beaten. But before heading to the golden state trump expressed his confidence in the Hoosier State. Indiana will have such an impact on who its going to be and im the only one to beat Hillary Clinton. And well beat her so badly. Ted cruz in the Hoosier State too in dire need of an upset to stay in the race. We are at the edge of a cliff staring downward and it is the commonsense and good judgment of the Hoosier State that is the one thing that stands between us and plunging over the cliff. Reporter cruz now enlisting his new running mate to join the tag team fight. But this morning the fight on the gop side hotter than ever. Former House Speaker john boehner heard in this recording telling Stanford University students what he really thinks of cruz. How about ted cruz . [ laughter ] lucifer in the flesh. In washington i have as many Democrat Friends as i do republican friends and i get along with almost everybody. But i have never worked with a more miserable [ bleep ]. Reporter and cruz fired right back. Good morning, everyone, he allowed his inner trump to come out. See, if youre happy with john boehner as speaker of the house and you want a president like john boehner, donald trump is your man. Reporter and back to donald trump, there was a scare at his manhattan headquarters overnight. Some workers evacuated after they discovered an envelope addressed to donald trump contained a suspicious white powder inside. Police say that powder was not found to be contaminated, george, but they are investigating to find out what it was. Yeah, they got to the get to the bottom of that. A lot of raw feelings out there. Cecilia, thanks very much. More from jon karl and lets start out with the importance of indiana. You heard donald trump say indiana will have an unbelievable impact. Walk through for everyone why indiana is so important. Indiana could be the last stand for those trying to stop trump. Take a look at where the race stands right now. Trump has nearly a thousand delegates. He needs less than 250 to clinch. That brings us to indiana on tuesday. 57 delegates in the state of indiana. The winner will get almost all of those and if you look at what trump has done so far, he has won 51 of all of the delegates so far. If he wins indiana, george, he only needs to win 44 of the remaining delegates. He can coast his way to the nomination, even if he doesnt do as well as hes been doing. If he loses indiana he needs to get 53 of the remaining delegates. Difficult, he needs to do better than hes been doing but not impossible. The bottom line, indiana is must win for ted cruz. Its not necessarily must win for donald trump. But that would set up a big contest in california. Meantime, you had former Speaker Boehner with those tough words for ted cruz and sort of indicative of the kind of challenges cruz has faced in this campaign. Reporter absolutely and now youre seeing Establishment Republicans starting to get used to the idea of donald trump as the nominee. Two reasons for that, one, he is winning, the other reason they really dont like ted cruz. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. We have some big weather headlines to get to. Some severe storms overnight. A state of emergency declared in mississippi after damaging winds and heavy rains drowned the south leading to dozens of rescues. Ginger is here with all the latest. Good morning, ginger. We have severe thunderstorms on the map at this hour. Happening this morning in parts of arkansas and oklahoma and look at the snow in colorado and new mexico. Major temperature gradients setting up. A powerful storm, potential for flash flooding from houston to texarkana. Just look at these pictures. Oh, i cant even see the road. A state of emergency in gulfport, mississippi. Nearly 10 inches of rain falling in the past 24 hours. Winds so fierce this traffic light came crashing down barely missing an suv. Police taking to the streets in boats rolling out a vehicle specifically designed for rescues. My youngest son called me and said mom, my room is flooded. Wlox capturing this rescue live. This is it a dangerous situation out here. You can see a woman running and helping that other driver. Biloxis river swelling at least 17 feet in the past 24 hours. In gould, oklahoma, a new system spinning up a striking supercell. And in the panhandle of texas, hail pelting drivers. So much falling, people breaking out the snow shovels to clear paths. And just outside indianapolis, a possible tornado slicing through parts of boone county. So heres the setup today. Weve got that dip in the jet stream, the low slides across the panhandle of texas and Oklahoma City to dallas right there to almost little rock and enhanced risk for Severe Weather. The biggest threat would be hail and damaging wind but still the potential for an isolated tornado along the stationary front sitting there. Stationary meaning its going to move slowly and that means a lot of rain. Were talking flash flood potential anywhere from the gulf from houston to new orleans again, right up to close to little rock and parts of alabama and mississippi too so this is a big one. Itll be around for a couple of days. Ill have much more coming up. Covering a lot of the map, thanks. Time for the nfl draft. It kicked off with a lot of excitement. Surprises and some controversy. After a series of social media posts appeared to cost one hot prospect millions of dollars, abcs ryan smith here with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter quarterbacks jared goff and carson wentz topped the drafts first round but the talk of the evening offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. His draft stock fell dramatically when minutes before the draft his twitter and Instagram Accounts were hacked, he claims and a damning video posted. With the first pick with the second pick with the third pick. Reporter while the draft is where dreams are made, its also a place where theyre dashed. Overnight offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil touted as one of the best players in College Football sat most of the night undrafted. The reason, just minutes before the draft began, this video of the allstar athlete smoking out of a bong was posted to his twitter page. The video and tunsils twitter account quickly deleted but the damage was already done. If you cant keep yourself on the straight and narrow as far as your choices, how can they pick you .

The Miami Dolphins select Laremy Tunsil. Reporter tunsil eventually falling to the 13th pick overall. Facing questions about both social media posts at a press conference after the draft. Man, somebody is hacking my account and, man, i made that mistake, you know, several years ago and somehow somebody got in my photos and hacked my twitter account and apparently somebody attacked my Instagram Account too. Its getting crazy. Reporter they addressed the leak saying we had known about it. The video is two years old so from all the information we had, we were comfortable with it. And on taking money was an exchange between you and your coach money. I have to say yeah. That admission could potentially get ole miss in trouble with the ncaa. Ole miss telling us the university is aware of the reports from the nfl draft regarding Laremy Tunsil. We will aggressively investigate and fully cooperate with the ncaa and the s. E. C. Tunsil was suspended by the ncaa for the first seven games last season for accepting improper benefits. And ryan joins us now. Put dollars and cents on it. How much did that end up costing him. The ravens were considering him for the sixth pick. If he had been selected there that would have been the difference between 7 million. He was once in the conversation for the top spot. Now while the quarterback picks werent a surprise, the difference between the rookie contracts at the quarterback position number one and where he was picked at 13, around 15 million. We all remember the Johnny Manziel draft controversy. You cant blame them for being gun shy. They want to make sure they know who they have and be troublefree and Laremy Tunsil said that was in the past, ive changed and the dolphins said lets take a chance on him. Hes a good player and a good person. Thanks very much. A reminder that nothing is private on your phone. All right. Thats true. Thanks. Now to another big headline.
