with even faster speeds tomorrow. woo-hoo! whole new dimension touch of modern .com. i'm jeremy diamond at the white house. and this is cnn. well, good. very early morning, everyone. uh we have a

lot going on. we're glad you're with us. let's get started with the five things to know for this wednesday, april 5th 2023 donald trump defiant after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records during a speech last night, he vowed to fight the charges and railed against the prosecutors and the judge. i'll let that sink in. what you just said is a lot and look at that. so their celebration, at least in chicago , there's a new mayor in the windy city senior projects that progressive brandon johnson has won the runoff in chicago. he's going to join us live right here on cnn this morning, eight o'clock hour 88 a. m eastern time a seat change for wisconsin cnn projects, liberals will now hold the majority on the state supreme court. that is a significant flip that could have major implications for abortion rights and future elections. also house speaker kevin mccarthy is set to meet with the president of taiwan in california. today it's a rare meeting on american soil, and china is already threatening to retaliate. also on the eve of

the masters, tiger woods questioning his future at augusta. telling reporters quote doesn't know how many more he has left in him this morning starts right now. you gotta know when you hear a comment like that from tiger woods. if you've got augusta tickets this year, you're really happy. yeah i was just saying, i feel like tiger this morning. i don't know how much more i have been saying that i am back to six a.m. tomorrow. we're normal. well, that's great news going on. we're starting to early. yes of course. so everything we're talking about the superseding headline today, trump is now a criminal defendant just hours after his arrest and arraignment in new york city. the former president gave a defiant speech at mar-a-lago. last night. it was filled with grievances and multiple false claims. he railed against the charges attacked the judge cast himself as a victim

of political persecution. this fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately. i have a trump hating judge with the trump painting, wife and family . they can't beat us at the ballot box, so they try and beat us through the law. the former president actually spoke very little when he was in court yesterday. you can see him there. two of the words he did say not guilty. he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. prosecutors are accusing him of orchestrating a hush money scheme to cover up alleged affairs with a porn actress and a playboy model playboy model leading up to the 2016 election. trump looked somber, and he ignored our shouted questions. the courthouse yesterday on the 15th floor, notably the judge

did have a message to both sides yesterday counsel on both sides saying to stop making inflammatory public comments that could put people in jeopardy or affect the outcome of the case. all of that came just hours later. about six hours later, trump blasted that same judge, the judges family. and the district attorney, cnn's senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed is here with us now, but we want to talk about trump's response. obviously what happened there, but let's talk about the indictment in the main takeaways for people who were not watching, as all of this was coming out of the courthouse yesterday, it was interesting to see the charges. finally, in this historic case, one of the big things that's missing here, though, is the crime that makes these 34 counts of falsifying business records a felony. they did not specify what exactly the larger crime was. that was a surprise to me and many other legal experts. we may not get answers for a while because of the next hearing in this case is not until december, and then if there is a trial, it would likely be in the heat of the

2024 campaign. if there is a conviction. it's going to be a long road for appeals. do they have to specify? according to the manhattan district attorney's office. former president donald trump was at the center of an alleged catch and kill scheme to suppress negative stories about him in order to influence the 2016 presidential election and to benefit his electoral prospects . trump appeared in a new york courtroom on tuesday and pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. speaking at mar-a-lago tuesday night, he lashed out at the district attorney, the judge in the case and the indictment itself. and i never thought anything like this. could happen in america never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it, according to manhattan prosecutors alleged scheme involved trump, his former

personal attorney, michael cohen , and the then head of american media incorporated david pecker during an august 2015 meeting at trump tower. said he would act as the eyes in the ears of the campaign by alerting cohen to negative stories about trump. according to court documents, i found that the document actually quite detailed. i mean, it is a speaking indictment and it has quite a bit of detail about the history and laid out the facts underlying then the various counts that are listed before the 2016 presidential election. payments were made to at least three individuals to suppress their negative stories involving trump, including alleged affairs with adult film star stormy daniels and playboy model karen mcdougal, according to court documents. trump denies both affairs. these are felony crimes in new york state. no matter who you are also pleaded guilty to

federal crimes pertaining to this indictment will continue to speak truth to power. i will continue to provide transparency to the american people. it's amazing how once again, donald is trying to shift all of the blame, which he's so good at. it's always somebody else's fault. trump's lawyers vowing to fight the charges emotion. to dismiss his coming on several grounds. prosecutorial misconduct. selective prosecution for sure will be two of them. legal insufficiency is another one. the judge in this case has not imposed a gag order on the former president or anyone else. but he did warn the participants in this case, not to say anything that would incite violence or impact the proceedings. of course. the former president then went on to call the judge quote trump hater . but since trump is now a candidate for the presidency, any restrictions on his speech really raised. constitutional questions. so once again former president trump taking us to constitutional controversies that have really never been

visited before. people may have heard me trying to jump in. when your story was about to run, asking, do they have to show an underlying crime? because everyone's saying they didn't show an underlying crime they didn't underlying in order to charge falsifying business records as a felony, you have to show that those records were falsified. as part of a larger crime. falsifying business records is usually just a piece of a crime, a mechanism if you will, and here they haven't specified what that crime is. many people assumed that it was a violation of federal election laws similar to what michael cohen pleaded guilty to. but at the press conference, the district attorney suggested it was state and federal laws. but look, you're not gonna be able to conceal this for long, because the defense attorneys have a right to know what exactly it is. their client has been charged with my point at this point. at some point, they're going to have to show what the crime is improved adjustment at this point in the process. exactly where the judge didn't chastise them for not including that, but as we go forward, and they file their motions at some point, they will have to disclose that and that's why it's hard to really assess the case. because we can't

really see all of it. well, there we go. paula paula will be seeing a lot of you. thank you very much. let's talk more about this this because sources are telling cnn that trump was upset at mar-a-lago post arraignment and surrounded himself with allies and admires kristen holmes's in west palm beach near mar-a-lago, kristen. good morning to you. so we saw the i guess you can call it blustery speech last night, so break down the attacks and the lies here. don, that's right. so what we know right now is that the former president was, as you said, upset. he gave this uncharacteristically short and characteristically defiant speech, and he talked about not just the new york case, but he also talked about all of the local and federal investigations that are going on right now take a listen to what he said. got a local racist democrat district attorney in atlanta. who is doing everything in her power to indict me. over an absolutely

perfect phone call. this fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately. lunatic special prosecutor named jack smith i wonder what it was prior to a change. who others of his ilk say he's even worse than they are. is only looking at trump get your biden took massive amounts more documents. now of course we can break each of these down the first one. he's talking about the case in georgia. he talks about that quote unquote perfect call, which we know has made him incredibly angry. he's talking about the call, which he asked brad raffensperger to find more votes, and in that case, we have learned sense that there are several other recorded calls. now this second one was about the new york indictment, saying that he was that this was only brought to interfere with the 2024 election. this is something

we have heard, and again, we know that he is going to make this new york case political as we've noted yesterday, during trump's arraignment, his team put out a fundraising email with a manufactured mug shot on it to try and raise money. so that gives you any indication of where they're trying to head with the defense. in that case, and the last one we're talking about these department of justice, special counsel investigations there are 21 to january 6th and one into those documents and the really interesting thing done with how long he spent on that documents . case you could tell he was very fixated on it during this airing of grievances, and we'll see if he continues to speak and sort of defy with the judge managed to mount yesterday. thank you very much christian homes in west palm beach, florida. alright let's dig into the indictment itself the specific charges and notably as we were just talking about what we don't know. joining us now is former manhattan assistant district attorney jeremy olander me. good morning morning. i find it really surprising that they didn't lay out here. what the underlying crime is because that's how you make it. that's how you make these 34 counts. it

would be misdemeanors. felonies and they're, as paula said, aren't prosecutor's gonna have to lay this out? because how can defense put forward their motion to dismiss without knowing what they're fully trying to dismiss? absolutely i expected to see the charges because generally speaking, you don't see falsifying business records as the only counts in an indictment because usually it's a mechanism to really commit a greater crime . whether that's a larceny, attacks, crime or here. a crime related to campaign finances or something along those lines, so i expected to see that that being said during the discovery process, they are going to have to set forth those crimes. but why wouldn't you lay it out? and this is the first. this is the first time a president former president has ever face criminal charges. why would you not lay it all out there? it gives me pause. it gives me concern. i would like to think and i do at this stage believed that they in good faith obviously had that evidence that they think they have that can substantiate and ultimately prove beyond a

reasonable doubt these crimes, but yes to your point. why not share now? even if you don't put it in the indictment with some specificity i recall during that press conference. the answer is really avoided. is that part of the strategy though possibly this is and i've been reading the analysis vote about why not showing a crime? this is the new york times singing others do. prosecutors need to convict mr trump of a second crime? it says no, they must only show that there was intent to commit or conceal a second crime. prosecutors do not have to charge mr trump with any secondary crime or proved that he committed it. but prosecutors have not yet said definitively what crime or crimes they intend to rely on to escalate the charges to a felony level so they don't have to show just an intent. that that is absolutely a fair statement. but again back to what i said initially, you generally don't see falsifying business records, the sort of the means to commit a greater crime by itself. you see that with another offense or other offenses, so even if it's not pleaded in the indictment, i would expect to know what that

is, because you're going to have to come and share that because he has a right to defend himself and because of the nature of who were dealing with the former president. the public should know that this isn't political. we want to know what it's about. share that with us. the timeline here is obviously important, too, because there's not another court date until december. the judge mentioned yesterday, maybe a trial in january, 2024, trump's attorney, said it would at least be spring 2024. that's when he's going to be going to iowa to new hampshire. he's gonna be all over the place in the middle of this campaign. do you think this is something based on what you saw yesterday that a judge will dismiss? maybe i think that's a big leap. it's way too early to make that determination. will they make that determination generally, what's going to happen? now with the next few days, whatever discovery has already been provided in the weeks ahead, more discovery will be shared. so the defense will know what this is what we're facing. these are the this is the evidence so between now and then it could be 30 40 days, maybe even longer to get those first motions in there. could that be what's called the clayton motion, which is a motion to dismiss the interests of justice. legal sufficiency, prosecutorial misconduct? who knows what

they're going to pull out, but they're going to throw everything they can to try to get this dismissed in the weeks and months ahead. remember what john bolton told you a few days ago as a republican does not want to see trump as president again that this they should expedite this all in the interest of the public and given that now very long timeline, and they obviously they think that would be helpful to him. but trump's legal team yesterday the new attorney, he just added was saying january 2024 is way too soon to start for a case for this. we have to go through all the discovery and look at everything that you guys are assembled. think if you if you want to take the president out of this equation that december date is incredibly long. normally you're talking maybe four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, maybe longer that it's an extremely long adjournment for that next stage of the process so that i know we got to go to a new law. in new york that a few years old. is that a lot of great to see a lot more evidence, which is really interesting. in this case, we do have to go. but why is it an extremely long i think, because the nature of who we're dealing with its former president of

states expansive time? absolutely and the judge was saying yesterday, trump needs to show up for all of his appearances, including that decent red tape. alright, jeremy . thank you. we'll see you soon. appreciate it happening right now live pictures of jonesboro, arkansas, where a tornado watch right now is in effect. storms developing this area could bring intense wind gusts were live on the ground there. also this hands up. brandon. the city of chicago has now elected progressive democrat brandon johnson as their mayor. the change he's promising to bring to the nation's third largest city what his victory means next . it's interesting. the odds were on balance were they was it it was pretty close, impmportant kitchen tool, my brarain, so i choose areva plus, unlike some others, plus is a multitasker supporting six key indicators of brain health. help keep me sharp, areva. think. bigger.

beat his more moderate opponent , former school superintendent paul vallas, in a runoff heavily focused on crime. tonight is a gateway to a new future for our city. a city where you can thrive regardless of who you love or how much money you have in your basic account. so tonight even though of course we believe every vote should be counted, called brendan johnson and told him that i absolutely expect him to be the next mayor of chicago. omar jimenez joins us now covering has been covering this risk. good morning to you. it was. i mean, it was close. i thought the odds were on balance. but how did johnson pull this off? some of the some of the polls coming in, might have had valleys on top. but really, when you look at john, endorsed by the chicago teachers union turned out to be a very powerful force in this, but there was a key demographic or a few demographics to look at after the race that got to this runoff, so when they beat incumbent mayor lori lightfoot.

heon vallis lightfoot took a lot of the black neighborhoods in chicago congressman jesus chuy garcia took a lot of the latino neighborhoods on the southwest side of the city, and so coming into this runoff, there was a lot of significant vote out there for these two candidates to try and win over in this case, it seems it may have been the difference for brandon johnson. but now he has the tough task of actually leading chicago, including folks in the police union who voted for valid take a listen to johnson's message there. yeah. i value you and i want to hear from you. i want to work with you. and i'll be the mayor for youtube. yeah, i got you when you expand this nationally. this is really a battle of two. democratic ideology is one of them progressive, one of the moderate. so of course, it's big for chicago. but you've got to think there's a lot of democrats across the country looking at this races are looking very closely to see. you know. what

does it mean? especially after what happened in los angeles? the other race that i'm obsessed with from last night we had two remarkable moments last night was what happened in wisconsin and that highly consequential supreme court contest. or janet produce a wits can walk away victorious and what this means. four wisconsin and just, you know, a state that has long been this republican, you know, fortress kind of and what her election last night means a lot of implications for the fight over abortion access in that state, which, of course in abortion ban went into effect after the fall of roe v. wade and the conservatives have led the bench in the supreme court there for 10 years. then you had a conservative judge retired. so you have this opportunity and the liberal judge janet per se, which was able to capitalize. on this, and we actually have a very specific case in the coming months of the challenge. and so again, it could have major implications very quickly. it also became the most expensive state judicial race in history there in bucks or something so

many people invested and politically, i think it shows that voters are still motivated by abortion. even still, nearly a year after roe v. wade fell. and what does it mean for gerrymandering? because she will still be in this position when they all the district managers right? it has massive implications that's going to say , what are the implications shift around? played such a critical role in the election last year, obviously likely will in 2024, but when it comes to the redistricting that could be one of her most significant impacts that she has, and she hasn't tried away from that at all, no more. we'll be following try. thank you, omar and also a reminder to viewers. brendan johnson is going to join us here in the am our fresh off his election win. we do want to update you on what is happening some really severe weather across the country right now. just moments ago, the national weather service confirmed a large and extremely dangerous tornado. those are their words in missouri. this is happening in glen allen, about 90 miles south of st louis. meteorologist

warning the twister was moving to the northeast, just one of several tornado watches and warnings were keeping an eye on for you. this morning. dark van dam is in little rock, arkansas again this morning where there have been active tornado watches and warnings. even on top of the destruction. you're standing in front of. yeah, we're under a tornado. watch where i'm located . um a long track tornado that caused winds 165 mph, but that was on friday. so this is a storm battered region a very storm er weary region, and they don't want to see any more, but unfortunately, they have to contend with what's coming at them. let's get to my graphics because it's a very fluid and active situation. poppy mentioned this extremely particularly dangerous tornado on the ground will that has since lifted. and we are now at a severe thunderstorm watch. but nonetheless we have millions of americans stretching from the chicago suburbs all the way to northeast oklahoma and then the tornado watch that is currently

on going from where i'm standing in little rock all the way to southern portions of illinois. this is particularly concerning because what's happening is the storms supercells that are forming within this area are taking advantage. of the environment across this region, you can see the carbondale and cape gerardo storm system that's now a severe thunderstorm warning. let's get in a little bit closer. give you some detail and what that looks like, kind of a three d volume scan and this is a supercell thunderstorm so we can see the tops of these storms reaching 30 even 35,000 ft in the air. that tells a meteorologist that we need to take this storm very seriously. there has been rotation currently not warned as a tornado, but at any moment in time. this thing could drop yet another dangerous tornado. we've already seen some homes that have been damaged in bollinger county and missouri. so poppy, very active, fluid, ongoing situation as we continue to track these storms, all right, thinking of everyone in the path, derek thank you very much. donald trump. excuse me now facing 34 felony charges. this

is only the beginning of the legal battle and political fallout more on what to expect. that's next. once he got inside the courtroom, trump is formally charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, which are class e felonies. yep trump was like, of course, they were very classy felonies. some would say the classiest of felt. i have a surprise for you. i have a surprise for you. w what let's y that the same time 321 cabin in vermont cancelalation on most ds .com booking. done. yeah. what do you get from the morgan stanley client experience. listening. more than talking. and the personalid plan to guide you through a changing world. we're going there. fair

conduct that has the potential to incite violence or jeopardize the safety of any individuals. of course, there's about six hours later that trump was on stage at mar-a-lago during that speech when he personally attacked the judge, saying this and this is where we are right now. i have a trump hating judge with the trump hating wife and family. joining us now cnn's senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic run brownstein, obviously ryan, we should fact check what trump said. there you know, he is making this claim. he's a trumpeting judge that has to do with this judge also overseeing the case of alan weisberg, who worked for trump and the trump organization just to give context to that, but i was really struck by how yesterday the judges warning was not just a trump about the attacks that he had been making. he was also telling counsel on both sides also talking about witnesses. who have been very vocal michael cohen. but what do you make of trump getting on stage right after going after the judge the

way he did yeah, well, look, i mean, you know, it's hard to keep trump within the bounds of any kind of norms as we saw throughout his presidency, whether they're political norms were legal norms or in this case , norms of the courtroom. look he's he's flirting with danger. he is behaving in a way that is both possible to draw the ire of the judge. but also reinforce many of the doubts about him among independent and swing voters. i mean that caitlin is the kind of conundrum republicans are again as this proceeds. i mean, there's no question that this indictment and the prospect of further indictments is strengthening and inside the republican primary, but simultaneously, it may be weakening him. as a general election candidate. if he wins that nomination. it's kind of the worst of all worlds with the republicans who want the party to move on donald trump. they are watching a kind of a rally around the flag effect, but they

are also seeing both in in these underlying charges, and in his response to them, the exact kind of behavior that has made it so hard for the party among swing voters, even many of those attracted to his policies. by the way, what you saw again last night in wisconsin with the devil. stating perform instead of secondly, poor performance or republicans in those key suburban areas that already been trending away for the party under trump. you were talking about in the break we're talking about you mentioned john bolton. and you mentioned mitt romney. you wanted to speaking of people . did you see what he said yesterday? he you know. romney who voted to impeach trump and his not hidden his feelings about him said, you know, trump's character and conduct make him unfit for office. but even so, i believe the new york prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges. in order to fit a political agenda. yeah look, i mean, i think i think this is going to be a critical question going forward. what are we watching now? essentially the entire republican party, including

those running against him and the house regarding in in very kind of concrete ways by demanding testimony and documents kind of unprecedented , reaching into an investigation . the entire party is rallying around him and saying this is unfair. this is political. uh this is a witch hunt. and in some ways, it's you know, it's an easy target. it's the district. attorney in manhattan . very democratic jurisdiction. ah, and it is, you know, a case involving facts that are that are several years old. the question is have they painted themselves into a corner where they now have to do this each time? trump faces further potential indictment, which could be as many as three more indictments before anybody votes in iowa and new hampshire from between the georgia investigation and the two from the federal special counsel or has someone like mitt romney with this statement, kind of giving himself the foundation to have a different reaction to the later potential indictment

saying, look, i was against this, but this is more serious. i don't know which way it's going to go. but it has. i think huge. consequences for trump and the republican primary because of the party feels that the other candidates feel like they have to, uh, you know, give him this unreserved support each time he faces a further potential indictment. it is going to be very hard for any of them to get past him in the race that's developing. i read the romney statement as doing exactly what you just laid out because the second half of it he says that this sets a dangerous precedent of prosecutorial overreach. and he goes on to say that it set to precedent for criminalizing political opponents. you know, he has no interest in defending trump because he loves trump as katelyn polantz out, right. i mean, he's look, he says in the statement is and trump's unfit for office. but he's worried more broadly because of this case. this way. you look, i mean , they judge set a date for them returning to court in december.

it is highly. you know, it is highly possible that by december this is the least of donald trump's legal troubles, and it is the least of what we are discussing in terms of the legal matters that may influence is his future. politically and otherwise, i mean, the other the other cases that are kind of moving down the tracks on him are not only more consequential overall, but really go to the heart of the question. question that donald trump has posed in american politics for eight years. is he the leader of a kind of legitimate political movement? or is he a closet? a torrent authoritarian figure who is a genuine threat to american democracy? i mean, those cases are more at the heart of the core issue, really that that surrounds trump than this and if any of those other indictments material life between now and november, i think this case will obviously be remembered as a the answer to kind of a trivia contest. you know what was the

israeli police say they moved in after young palestinians barricaded themselves inside are just stones and firecrackers. this was amidst hundreds of worshippers fear of more violence. big concern. as the islamic holy month of ramadan and the jewish passover overlap or had asked old is live in jerusalem with a lot more. i mean, every day, it just seems to get even more elevated attention. dramatic scenes last night at the holy site so you can see behind me so over on this side is the golden dome of the rock that is so recognizable as a symbol of jerusalem but over my right shoulder with that black rooftop that's actually the al aqsa mosque and that's where these events took place. as you're noting, we saw dramatic video of israeli police essentially rating the mosque. they say that they had to go in there because youths were barricading themselves in there and that they are threw firecrackers at them. i want to read you part of the israeli police statement, they say several lawbreaking use and masked agitators brought into the mosque, fireworks sticks and stones when the police entered stones were thrown at them, and

fireworks were fired from inside the mosque by a large group of agitators. now, police say they detained 350 people. that's a massive amount of people. palestinian requests is 12 were injured, three of them transferred to hospital. police say at least one of their officers were injured as well. now condemnations have been raining in because while it has been a tense time, as you've noted in clashes were somewhat expected, i think the aggressive nature of what we saw overnight that was a bit unexpected. we're hearing condemnations from the jordanians from saudi arabia from the egyptians, all condemning this because just israeli police entering the mosque is considered as very provocative and offensive, but then to see them engage in the way that they did, making arrests, arresting people on the floor of the mask. that raises it to a new level. now the palestinian authority is also condemning what happened. i'll read to you from the prime minister saying. what is happening in jerusalem is a major crime against worshippers . israel does not want to learn from history that alexa is for the palestinians and for all arabs and muslims, and that storming it sparked a revolution against the occupation. now

overnight after this took place , it seems the hamas, the militant group that runs gaza responded with nine rockets fired towards israel. no injuries caused the israeli military responding with airstrikes against what it says were hamas targets, although it's a tense calm right now, there are fears that this could easily spiral into something even bigger. guys thank you very much for that reporting. the secretary of state. antony blinken, is in brussels, belgium , this morning for the final day of bilateral meetings with his nato counterparts filling officially joined nato on tuesday a strategic defeat for russian president vladimir putin called it a historic occasion and also said this. this is maybe the one thing we can thank mr putin for because he once again here is precipitated. something he claims to want to prevent by russia's aggression. causing many countries to believe that they have to do more to look out for their own defense. well. sweden also wants

legend katelyn polantz is pushing back on the criticism. that else you forward angel reese got, of course, was her national championship opponents , saying she doesn't think that she deserves the criticism. clark responded to a question about reese's. you can't see me gesture that she did during the face off a gesture clark herself had made earlier on in the tournament. she should never be criticized for what she did. um, you know, i'm just one that competes and she competed. so um , i think everybody knew there was gonna be a little trash talking the entire tournament. it's not just me an angel. so um, you know, i don't think she should be criticized. like i said, l s u deserves that they played so well and like i said, i'm a big fan of hers. classy response from katelyn polantz. they're also during that interview, she rejected first lady joe biden's invitation for i want to come to the white house, saying no, it was only l s u that earned that visit. i don't think runner ups usually go to the white house. i think

unless you should, you know, enjoy that moment for them and congratulations. obviously they deserve to go there. maybe i could go to the white house on different terms, though. um, but, you know, i think you know that's for l s u and after a good for her, biden made those comments. they kind of walked it back at the white house, saying no, it's just l. c that's going to come i what a classy response and actually on both fronts, point tone everything and doing the whole thing. isn't that what sports isn't that? what you do? you taught your opponent. it doesn't. it's probably truck through the tournament, not just us. they probably see each other after and hug it out or something or have a drink or do whatever they do. but that was like you're on the court. you know if you watch any other professional sports games, any other college games, you see this all time. and yet there's a line obviously, but i mean, especially the guys, right? i mean, it's not no double standards here. you get to taunt your opponent the end zone after someone scores a touchdown plot their dances exactly. thank you . all right. see you in this morning continues now.
