covering two of the biggest events in the country. the eclipse coming up and the women's national title game. robin, looked like it was a lot of fun. >> robin: in your old stomping grounds, george. the moon, the sun, aligning. so are the stars here in cleveland. it was an incredible title game. south carolina could not be stopped on their way to an undefeated, perfect season. caitlin clark and her iowa teammates, they gave them a great game. i had a court side seat. i was right next to philadelphia eagles quarterback jalen hurts. hundreds of thousands of people descending on cleveland for the game. coach dawn staley just arrived. she's gonna be joining me live in just a moment. now the attention turns to the eclipse. cleveland, are you ready? they are ready! yes! because we are in the path of totality so the burlington vermont. that's where world news anchor david muir is for us.

he's going to begin our team coverage as we count down to the big moment. good morning, david. >> david: good morning, robin. it's great to be with you this morning from beautiful vermont. can't wait to be on the air with you later for the abc news special event, eclipse across america. this will be different this time. 15 states, from texas all the way to maine, nearly 32 million americans live in the path of totality. the shadow will be wider because the earth is closer to the moon this time which means the shadow is larger when suddenly there is darkness, temperatures drop. americans together collectively all experience something we won't see for another 20 years. this morning families across america in the path of totality. >> we're all ready to go! >> david: 15 states, from tbgs to maine, setting out to witness the total solar eclipse. >> are you ready for the eclipse? >> yeah!

>> coming from florida. that way we can see the solar eclipse. >> we made it to dallas. we are in the path of totality. >> david: but what exactly will they see? how does it happen? we have an astrophysicist and national geographic explorer. >> a solar eclipse is when the moon moves between the sun and earth and its shadow is cast on us. >> david: that shadow is pure cosmic coincidence. it happens because the sun is also 400 times farther away, making the two appear the same size. this means the moon completely covers the sun during a total solar eclipse, with only the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, visible from earth. >> one cool difference between the 2017 eclipse and the one that we're going to see now is that the moon is closer to the earth. so it's going to cast a larger shadow. so both totality will be longer and the actual path will be almost double what it was in 2017.

>> david: this time that shadow is about 123 miles wide on the ground, moving at a speed of nearly 2,000 miles per hour. the closer you are to that center line, right through the middle of that shadow, the longer you'll be in complete darkness. in some places, it will last up to four minutes, 28 seconds. nearly 32 million americans live in the path of 100 ppbtd totality. look how far the eclipse spreads in both directions. that means hundreds of millions of americans today will see some version of this eclipse. >> part of this is, it's the magic of the eclipse. part of it's about family and being together for a special event. >> david: he so right. we're about to witness this as a country. we're going to talk a lot about this. you want to be careful with your eyes. they say this every several years when we witness one of these eclipses. you want those eclipse glasses. these are thousands of times darker than your typical pair of sunglasses. your retina doesn't sense pain when you're looking up at the sun so your eye will not know, won't send messages of the damage you're doing.

so really, be careful with your family out there in the path of totality. i mentioned earlier, 32 million americans in the path where it will cast a shadow, skies will go dark, temperatures will drop. they say earth will stop whistles, the crickets will start chirping. the animals can get confused. michael, rebecca, george, the other thing to keep in mind, even if you're not directly in that path of totality, which will be wider than we've seen before, scientists say about 99% of americans will witness something today, whether it's a partial eclipse, even just a piece of what we're not going to see for another two decades. >> michael: thank you for all of that, david. look forward to watching your special coverage of the path of totality and the eclipse today. all that information -- >> rebecca: he will wear his glasses. we know he will. >> michael: he will wear his glasses. i like his advice to parents. protect your eyes. great advice from david. we're going to get the eclipse

celebrations erupting from the court to the columbia campus. head coach dawn staley winning her third national title, overcome with emotion. >> we serve an unbelievable god. >> robin: one of only a handful of schools to finish the season undefeated for the national championship. what does that say about the south carolina program? >> you know, i never really -- i never really bought into the undefeated season. we saw so many of our deficiencies that some games felt like losses. but this team, this team created such great chemistry. they did not want to lose. i thank god. all glory goes to god. >> robin: it was the heavyweight showdown fans had been waiting for. the game lived up to its hype. iowa off to a blazing start, led by the super star, all time leading scorer in division 1 basketball, caitlin clark, letting it rip. >> clark, oh my!

>> robin: but south carolina storming back. >> johnson lays it in! >> robin: both teams bringing their a game, the end to the action nonstop. >> midrange jumper. goes in! >> robin: but south carolina pulling away in the final minute. game mvp camilla cardoso dominating the boards, finishing with 15 points and 17 rebounds. >> cardoso, unstoppable! >> reporter: this south carolina squad becoming the tenth women's basketball team to finish with a perfect season. look at that big smile! just tell me your emotions right now. >> i feel -- i don't know. i'm loss of words. this is a game i really wanted. i feel like we earned it. >> robin: what do you have to say about being able to come back after what happened last year against this team? >> man, it's a great feeling. it hasn't sunk in yet.

it feels unreal. i'm so blessed to be here. >> robin: the game also marking an end to wnba bound clark's storied college career, who scored 30 points in her final showing on the college court. >> and caitlin clark says good-bye to college basketball. >> robin: coach staley also paying tribute to the star guard. >> i want to personally thank caitlin clark for lifting up our sport. so caitlin clark, if you're out there, you are one of the goats of our game and we appreciate you. [ cheers ] >> there's a lot to be proud of but, you know, there's going to be tears. it is sad that this is all over and this is the last time i'll put on an iowa jersey. >> robin: clark sharing this photo of her jersey on instagram after the game writing, i'll miss ya. and college basketball fans will, too. what a career she's had at iowa. joining us now head coach. will you please welcome to cleveland, dawn staley!

champion game cocks! [ cheers ] aw, dawn. i have known you a long time, my friend. the emotion that you showed after the game is something i have rarely seen. what was going through your heart and mind at that time? >> the emotions took over. you know, i think, robin, when you're competing for a national championship, any big goal you pray and then you're not supposed to worry. i did a lot of worrying. i did a lot of praying. but when you've met that moment, i mean, my cup runeth over. there's not much i could do besides release it through crying and through thanking the lord for yet giving us another blessing. i never want to not give him his due because, you know, he's given me uncommon favor. >> robin: you're so proud to talk about that.

>> i am. >> robin: your fans were a little nervous there in the first quarter. you all were first team in a national title game to be losing by double digits to go on to win by double digits. you said this is an unlikely group. what did you mean by that? >> this group, for the entire season -- i don't know why i said this, but i felt it at the very beginning of the season. give me three words to describe this team. i said expect the unexpected. i didn't know what i didn't know at that moment. they have taken us through incredible highs and lows. meaning to get us to this place. they didn't come in in good shape. they came in, they were noncommunicative. i don't know how. you would text them and they would not respond. i guess they call that putting you on ice. right? i'm like, no, this is not right. they would be late to class and

appointments. i'm like, hey, i'm not really used to this. so i just had to meet them where they were. our expectations are pretty high. our standard is high. and if you have not come from a standard that's high, you can't possibly give them that standard. you have to meet them and teach them where they need to be. to be respectful to people and respectful to the game of basketball or else, you know, you're not gonna get it. you are not going to meet your mark. you're not going to make your family members like extremely disappointed. but luckily, thank god, they got it in time enough to do something about it. and challenge each other to be their best advocates, teammates and critics at the same time. >> robin: you teach more than basketball. you teach life skills. that's what really came through. in the post game, you got up there and you gave credit to

caitlin clark for how she has elevated the game. that was important for you to speak upon. >> generational talent. when a generational talent comes along and they are -- i think she's the sole responsibilities of our game being raised to this level of playing. many games were on national television. the numbers of viewership. every time she plays, she seems to outdo herself when it comes to viewership. there's not a lot of people that can demand and command that kind of attention. and caitlin's one of them. i know her shoulders are heavy because of what she had given to women's basketball. i just want to say we're thankful. we're thankful that she chose to play basketball. we're thankful for the way she's handled all of it. we're thankful that she's taken our game to the next level. i hope it's not just contained to women's basketball.

her next step is to wnba. i hope to the wnba needs another boost, you know? viewership, they need another boost in corporate sponsorships and all of that. i do think she can be that person that elevates us. >> robin: wonderful. your grace always comes through, dawn staley. congratulations. the second national title in three years, your third one overall. i did the math. 109 wins and only three losses the last three seasons. [ cheers ] all right. i know you are on your way to paris. got the olympics coming up. thank you. you're not staying? you're not staying for the eclipse? >> i got to go home and pack. >> robin: got to pack for paris. guys, back to you. >> george: thanks, robin. now the latest from the white house. president biden set to announce a new student debt relief plan that will impact millions of americans if it goes into effect. supreme court struck down a previous plan. chief white house correspondent mary bruce has details. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. during his trip to wisconsin today, president biden will

unveil his new sweeping student loan plan which could erase or lower debt for tens of millions of americans. here is what we can expect. the plan targets run away interest canceling up to $20,000 for the 25 million borrowers who now owe more than they borrowed. and those making $120,000 or less a year would be eligible to have all of their interest wiped out. the plan would also eliminate debt for borrowers with at least 20-year-old loans. the rollout of this is set to begin this fall. the white house says combined with its previous effort, this means that more than 30 million americans could see relief. this is the president's most significant attempt to address this since the supreme court struck down his plan last year. but, guys, it comes as the president is eager to show voters he can make good on this pledge as we head into november election. >> george: thanks. coming up the investigation after the engine cover on a southwest jet ripped open minutes after take jaw forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. >> michael: and all the eclipse mania. first back to ginger.

will react. scientists around the country ready for the opportunity to study animal behavior. and zoo miami wild life expert ron mcgill join us to el the us what to expect today. >> most animals aren't going to do anything at all. people are saying all of the bats will come flying out of the caves. [ laughter ] that's not going to happen. generally speaking, this is like a delayed jet lag for these animals. it's like when you fly to the other side of the country, 2 a.m., the sun is wide open. you go, oh my gosh. you're a little out of whack. we've seen changes in the past. for instance, birds might stop flying, might stop singing. on the the flip side you might have an owl going hoo hoo. you'll hear crickets maybe start calling. fire flies might start to light up. remember, the sun is the clock for animals. that's what gets them going. but it's such a short amount of time. we don't have a lot of data, so we don't know. >> michael: there are zoos not on the path of totality but they're setting up cameras to study animals. what do you think they'll learn? >> absolutely. like i said, they did it back

in 2017 at the south carolina zoo. this will be at the ft. worth zoo that will be in the full path. we really don't know. this is something that happens very infrequently. when it happen, it's only a few minutes. people will say, i saw the tortoises mating. they were mating an hour before then, too, or two hours after that. it's hard to say whether it's coincidence or the eclipse. bees will go back to hives. horses and cattle will go back into the stable and think, hey, it's getting dark. for most animals it's like a big storm is approaching. they might hunker down or whatever but it's not like an epiphany, the world is changing. most animals won't do much at all. >> rebecca: unless you talk to your dog and get the inside scoop from your pet dog. >> i would keep them inside. i would turn on the light, turn on some music. just keep them calm. if they don't see the change, they won't react to it. >> george: my daisy will sleep through it anyway.

>> george: it seems like we take a story every day on something else that wegovy and semaglutide can help solve. what other things are being looked at? >> there are many. preventing diabetes. one study showed a 75% reduction of developing diabetes in a trial. fat in the liver, the leading cause of a liver transplant. dementia is another one caused by inflammation. the list goes on and on. >> george: i know you've been working on these issues for decades. why do you think these drugs are showing such promise? >> they are showing promise because they affect body fat and reduce body fat. turns out fat cells produce dozens, hundreds of hormones that are critical for the normal function of the body, but when they're present in excess, they cause disease in many different organ systems. >> george: it's not just semaglutide. there's a range of other drug, right?

>> undefeated south carolina has won its third national championship! >> robin: but it was all of women's college basketball that emerged victorious. >> no one has done more to swell the popularity of this game than caitlin clark. >> robin: 22-year-old caitlin clark bringing a whole new audience to the sport, captivating millions with her dominating unabashed play, breaking records, not just on the court. >> gets her name in the record books one more time! >> robin: viewership for games sky rocketing and iowa's ticket prices increasing more than 160% from last year as clark raced to break the all-time scoring record in division i basketball. fans lining up for hours to watch her make history. >> this for college basketball history! [ cheers ] >> robin: the shift is monumental in the sport that historically has not garnered the same fervor for female players as it has for the men.

>> because of caitlin clark, sports are cool for girls in a way we have never seen before. and maybe just as important the title 9. >> robin: we were talking about how i covered this game back in the day. what we're seeing right now on this floor, the attention, whew! clark, along with lsu's angel reese, uconn's paige bueckers and camilla cardoso representing the next generation of women athlete, raised in the age of title 9. a law banning sex discrimination in educational activities. >> these are young women who received title 9 on full blast. they had the coaching, the interest from their parents. they are really the product of what this nation has created because of title 9 and how the nation has fallen in love with what it has created. >> clark, step back three, you bet! >> robin: iowa's final four game

against uconn friday drawing in 14.2 million viewer, breaking espn viewership records making it their most viewed basketball game ever. >> iowa survives connecticut! >> robin: clark, now gearing up for the wnba draft as the probable first pick, walking off the court she forever changed one final time as a collegiate athlete. >> the coolest part for me on this journey is just, we start playing in front of 55,000 people and now we're ending it probably playing in front of 15 million people or more on tv. it just continues to get better and better and better. >> robin: and we'll have to wait and see if the ratings from yesterday's game, the title game, waiting for those numbers to come in. may have been the third straight record. we'll see. may just be the beginning though. when you think of all the little girls who were at home watching caitlin and camilla and angel and oh my gosh, so many talented young women. juju watkins from usc, phenomenal freshman. the list goes on and on.

you know this, michael, and guys. being there in the studio and when the guys behind the scene, you know who i'm talking about. you, dave, you, nick. they were jawing with me about the women's game like they did with the men. that has never happened before. that's just another mark of how it has changed. >> michael: yeah. you feel the shift. robin, it was must see tv. absolutely must see tv. >> robin: that tells you something when snoop dog's there. come on. >> michael: i saw you yesterday with snoop dog. >> rebecca: i did, too. you did a great job. >> michael: you were in the same room. >> robin: not that kind of show. not that kind of show. >> michael: all right, robin. thank you for that. i'm going to ginger. hey, ginger. >> ginger: thank you, michael.

no snoop dog here, but i'd say we've got a great forecast. i have got students behind me. from carbondale community high school. let's start with the path of totality. mexico has more clouds, so has texas. dallas, you might squeak out one if you get between clouds before the storms move in later tonight. later from arkansas through central illinois, we've got mostly clear skies. i do see some high cloudiness which i think we'll see more of. you can still see an eclipse through that. let's keep those. more clouds as you get up around the lake. decreasing cloud coverage in cleveland. increasing for burlington. those are high clouds, too. best spot on the map still looking like holton maine. we do want to talk about safety. it's very important. if you are not in path of totality you must always have your glasses on. if you are in the path, you can remove the glasses only when the full totality is happening. for us it's only 4:08 which is nearly double that we got last time.

when he was 8 i realized there weren't a lot of stem programs. i started -- my dad gave me my first microscope when i was 6. when he was 8, he was in a great school, but no stem. no science. i thought, okay, i actually looked at the numbers of mass incarceration and saw there are people that look like him in prison and i just could not do that. so i went into education so there would be more people like my son doing stem. >> michael: wow. >> george: such good work. one of your teachers is here. tell us what makes stem so special. >> thank you. when i was a kid, i never had this kind of opportunity. i believe stem kids nyc i get this chance to give the kids the experience that i never had. being a mother of a 2-year-old daughter, i feel i had this. i had this opportunity. my daughter will definitely have this opportunity. >> george: that's awesome.
