we will be entering questions almost on a daily basis and i know the pace will pick up. there is plans for an additional briefing to give you more information, and we will probably have other agencies join us. before we go, we will do what we did last time, safety, get your glasses. you heard some other options. we want to be safe and prepared. mark the date. remember, science never sleeps. [laughter] [applause] >> you have m -- you may have seen the mention of the nasa website. they are counting down to monday's solar eclipse. .gov/eclipselive is the site. atem, oregon, it will hit 10:17 pacific, trapping across the united states. lincoln, nebraska at 1:02 p.m. central, jefferson city, central, and3 columbia, south carolina, 2:41 eastern. all of that getting underway on monday. we will take a break from our nasa programming to hear what your plans are for monday. use the phone numbers on your screen. we will also look for your tweets. safepe you have your eclipse glasses as our producer does. planned for monday as all the folks in the audience at the nasa offender. let'

our troops will fight to win. we will fight to win.now on victory will have a clear definition, attacking our enemies, obliterating isis crushing al qaeda, preventing , the taliban from taking over afghanistan, and stopping mass terror attacks against americans -- america before they emerge. we will ask our nato allies in -- and global partners to support our new strategy with additional troops and funding increases in line with our own. we are confident they will. since taking office i have assured that our allies and partners must contribute much more money to our collective defense, and they have done so. in this struggle, the heaviest burden will continue to be borne by the good people of afghanistan and their courageous armed forces. as the prime minister of afghanistan has promised, we are going to participate in economic development to help defray the cost of this war to us. afghanistan is fighting to defend and secure their country against the same enemies who threaten us. the stronger the afghan security forces become, the les

i will not say when we are going to attack, but at tack we will. —— but attack we will., towards successful outcomes. someday, after an effective notary effort, perhaps it will be possible to have a political sentiment that includes elements of the taliban in afghanistan, but never dingos if and when that will ever happen. america will continue its support to the afghan government. —— but nobody knows. ultimately, it is up to the people of afghanistan to take ownership of their future, to govern their society, and to achieve an everlasting peace. we are partner and a friend, but we will not dictate to the afghan people had to leave, or how to govern their own complex society. —— how to live. we are not nation—building again. we are not nation—building again. we are killing terrorists. the next pillar of our new strategy is to change the approach and how to deal with pakistan. we can no longer be silent about pakistan's safe havens for terrorist organisations, the taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond. pakistan has much to gain from partner

instead he will hedge his bets and play it safe, and he will send his second corps on a road that will come down behind you. it will hook over here. and he will stop here and mud at tavern and -- mudd ta block the road. he knows it is the tractor richmond and he have to protect it. and richard mule performs one of his best duties of the entire war by pulling off this march. he leaves at 3:00 in the morning, gets here by 10:00, blocks the road. he has denied grant the inside track to richmond. remember, officer grant -- if grant treated this like a race, he could've one -- he could have won. now he has been denied that chance. lee is afraid to commit, because he still has federals in front of him. here is one of those great missed opportunities, because we have warren over here, hancock off in here, we have yule right here, and the other half of the union army is right here. and i want to ask you, anybody that knows anything about military three, if you have somebody in the middle, and the enemy on one side, enemy on the other side, what does that leave these guys susceptible to? the to

we will get build ups later in the day. fog will start to burn back.nk you know what is going on. you will see temperatures that won't change much. there is a low forming down off southern california that will play in sunday and monday with a little cooldown. hazy sunshine today. temperatures will rebound and be where they should be this time of year. maybe a smidge warmer, not a lot. 60s and 70s by the water and low 80s, mid 80s, upper 80s, near 90 for others. we will be the same the early part of the weekend, then sunday and monday looks cooler. looks like a friday feel good. >> you bet. >>> coming up, the 9ers return to levi's stadium tomorrow. more about the team and practice and the broncos who they are playing tomorrow night. people love my breakfast burritos. and my french fries. wait! what if i put them together?! a burrito stuffed with scrambled eggs, creamy guacamole, bacon and crispy french fries. i'll call it the california breakfast burrito! boom. someone got that, right? scrambled eggs. guacamole. bacon. french fries. you'll call it the c

i will do my best. i will chat with them and see what i can do, but no promises. [laughter] host: douglas, republicans, go ahead. caller: good morning. i have two simple questions. the first one, is it true or not? it is my understanding that the way the money comes into the federal government is just -- is not just one big pot at the end of the month, but it moves out over the course of the month. so if we had the will, we could , or if the government was shutdown, we could continue to pay the debt payments and social security and military and medicare without those shutting down. my second question is kind of philosophical. how do we break the cycle of debt? where is this going to end? i heard within 10 years it's possible the interest on the debt could be $800 billion a year. that is just money down a rat hole to me. who is going to be out there working to pay it off? and for what? host: go ahead. mark zandi: great questions. the way to think about it is that the government in this year for example, will cut checks that amount to seven hundred billion dollars m

it will take a direct hit, areas like houston will get rain and winds. it will stay there for several days. >> i was listening and they are looking at a storm surge of up to 12 feet. on top of that, they are looking at rain up to 35 inches in some areas inland. where will that water go?>> that's a problem. houston is all concrete. i'll show you. houston is in the direct path, that red box represents tornado warnings. that's in advance of the storm. we can see tornadoes in this area. when i talk about the right front quadrant this is what i'm talking about where the strongest wave action will be in the strongest storm surge, the strongest winds and heavy rain. it's a category 4 winds are 130 miles an hour. it's moving slowly northwest at eight miles per hour. it's going to be devastating, it will stick around not is a hurricane but is moisture that will rain out. these are the models and they just keep it in a spaghetti plot. these of the forecast paths and they are all going in the same direction. it's for four days. it's a category 4 and it won't streng

it will be hot.nd 90 degrees once again today, but that sun coming up right now. an official sunrise was at 6:27 a.m. a beautiful-looking morning out there. if you want to get anything done, it's 71 degrees and feels great because the humidity is on the lower side. changes to your eclipse forecast, and i will let you know the next chance of rain will come up in the 10-day forecast. >>> 7:01. dick gregory has died at the age of 84 here in d.c. he was one of the first standup comics to find success with a white audience in the 1960s. he spread messages of social justice and nutrition. he ran as a third party presidential candidate in 1968. he shares a spot with our own jim vance on the new mural, and he was seen in public for that unveiling in june. he was in the hospital for about a week with a severe bacterial infection. >> so many people sharing their grief over his passing on social media. this is a few that continues to show up on all our social feeds. civil rights leaders, and comedians, and john
