If you are in the path of totality, during totality, you don't need the eclipse glasses.
When that part is over, you will definitely know it, a very bright point will appear on the opposite side from where the last bright point disappeared before totality and then PUT YOUR GLASSES BACK ON
If you are not in the path of totality, you will need eclipse glasses EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT THE SUN.
Absolutely correct, although, you may look at the Sun with your naked eye when (and, only when) it is at the horizon:

The exception, of course, is during the total phase of a solar eclipse!!!! Sadly, there will probably be thousands of people (many of them Trump supporters and/or regular Fox News viewers) who will miss the total eclipse because they refused to take their solar glasses off.
