This is in arlington near yorktown and george mason boulevard. This tree slammed into a pole here. And you saw part of the pole snapped off and landed on top of the roof. We dont know the condition of the driver now. But this is just one example of how slippery things are. Lets come back to us for a second and look at the rear look at that road service. Its just dotted with the rain and wet surface there. Everyone should take precautions driving out here today. Back to you. Jamie great advice. Something we saw in the camera is a few people dropping down as they hit the puddles. You need to be careful. This is the outer loop, continuing south from tysons to annandal bumper.

Sam, this was a critical meeting. What did the two discuss . Sam ma pleased with the meeting. She seemed to be enthusiastic about it. Meeting with president elect donald trump here at trump tower. She said she told him d. C. s story and he listened. She arrived about ten minutes before her scheduled 11 00 a. M. Meeting with mr. Trump. I was a meeting she requested. She said part of the reason she came was to welcome a new president to the national she said the meeting lasted for about 40 minutes with trump alone discussing d. C. Matters with the mayor and her two top aides. She told reporters as she left it was a productive meeting. It was important for me to make sure that the new president knows that we are not a federal agency, that we are not dependent on the federal government for our funds, that we have 13 billion budget, that we don government than any state. Only the things that support our activities to support our goals of protecting the president and the like. Sam of course it is no secret not trump nor any republican president ial candidates gets many votes in d. C. But she said trump listened. She mentioned topics and she said he seemed particularly coming up at abc7 news at 5 00. Including a sitdown interview with mayor bowser talking about her experiences today at trump tower. Reporting live from new york city, im sam ford, abc7 news. Jonathan all right. Thanks very much. Living in the d. M. V. , every now and again you see the plane taking off. Its air force one, of course. In a few years when air force one is retired it is expected to be replaced with a new, heavily modified boeing but not if trump gets his wish. He says the price tag is too much. 7 on your side watchdog investigator chris papst in the newsroom. The cost of air force one, chris, he says its insane. He said he would rather do something else. Chris he says its in the many billions of dollars. Well get to that. This is the Current Air Force one that the president flies in. This is an ald plane. Old plane. They started a process to get a new air force one and president elect trump says he doesnt want it. The new 747 that is being built to carry future president s will cost more than 4 billion and he wants to cancel that order. The new air force one would be a 7478, rather than a 747200 which is used now. The new one is faster and gets boeing has built the plane used by every president since franklin roosevelt. They have 7 billion budgeted for the new plane but it could go up in more years. Trump addressed issue today in trump tower. Here is what he said. President elect trump its ridiculous. I think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. Have already been signed for 170 million to design the new plane, which isnt supposed to be built until 2024, so next month when trump becomes president he will have say in what the next air force one will look like. In the newsroom, chris papst, abc7 news. Jonathan thanks for that. Right now, president obama is giving his final National Security speech. He is at the air force base in tampa. Lets listen in. President obama nearly 70 iraqs neighbors, we surged our intelligence resources to better understand the enemy. Then we took the fight to isil in both iraq and syria. Not with american battalions but with local forces backed with the equipment and the advisers and our special forces. That campaign we have now hit isil with over 16,000 tens of thousands of partners on the ground. Today the results are clear. Isil lost population centers, their morale is plummeting, its recruitment is drying up. Its commandsers and external plot its commanders and the external plotters are taken out and local populations are turning against [applause] as we speak, isil faces an offensive on mosul from iraqi troops and coalition support. That is the largest remaining city that it controls. Meanwhile in syria, isils selfdeclared capital in raqqa is being squeezed. Of millions of dollars in oil and cash reserves. The bottom line we are breaking the back of isil. We are taking away its safehavens. [applause] and we have accomplished all this at a cost of 10 billion over two years which is the same amount that we used to spend in one month at the height of the iraq war. So the has been relentless. It has been sustainable. It has been multilateral. And it demonstrates a shift in how we have taken the fight to terrorists everywhere. Michelle there you have president obama giving his final National Security speech. His counterterror efforts no doubt will be part of his legacy. Moving forward now. Recently, donald trump has a new George Washington university battleground poll shows Donald Trumps ratings significantly improving since he won the election. 1,000 voters nationwide were surveyed last week. 45 say they now have a favorable opinion of the president elect. 49 a negative view.

Amongst the glitz and the glam of the new casino, concerns about crime that could be associated with it. Abc7s Maryland Bureau chief brad bell is at the unified command center there at national harbor. Of course we have heard stories, you know, many other casinos where people are robbed of their winnings. What are police doing there to try to protect visitors . Brad well, you know what . For a while. This is some of what you will see here. These are security cameras spread out around national harbor. Basically it will be just about impossible for anybody to come on or off of this property without getting caught on camera. Yesterday we took you on a tour of the new m. G. M. Resort and casino. By all accounts late thursday it will be packed with people with money. Money to wager or money won. And there are safety and crime. But tonight, Prince Georges County police chief Hank Stawinski has a message for those who would be up to nogood. From the moment you step food on the m. G. M. Property, you are the subject of high quality video monitors, which is taped but also actively monitored. Brad stawinski says they began preparing for the casino opening two years ago. They have had time. To send investigators to police, to go and visit our local casino environments, to go the other casino environments. Brad the chief says m. G. M. National harbor will be a safe, heavily policed place. Sources say the casino has its own holding cells. But common sense remains your best defense. Maybe somebody has won big at m. G. M. And they are making their way to the car. Dont carry the cash in your hand. And look around. Brad now when we come back at 5 00, we will talk about talking about. That is concerns about traffic. Well show you how the new room is going to play a role they hope in keeping the cars moving smoothly. At national harbor, brad bell, abc7 news. Michelle thank you.

Both have been summoned to appear in court. Jonathan coming up next for us here at abc7 news at 125 billion in wasteful spending. Did the pentagon try and hide that . The post reporter who broke the story is joining us next. And where so much of the money went. Alison still ahead at 4 30, a carjacking caught on camera on black friday. The moment a gun is pulled on the victim filling up at a gas station. The string of Robberies Police say this bad guy is tied to coming up. More fallout from the ping pong. Im stephen tschida. In a moment, while other jonathan this is certainly a shocker and also a talker. Tonight the pentagon is facing tough questions after a report details 125 billion in what is being headlined as bureaucratic waste. The Washington Post broke the story. Joining us from the Washington Post now newsroom reporter craig whitlock. Craig, you broke the story. So many people must read this and scratch their head and say how on earth is it possible to waste 125 billion . Craig the pentagon is a very big place. It consumes a lot of taxpayer money. 500 billion a year. So to be precise, this report found using the pentagons own data internally that they could save 125 billion over five years if they streamlined their that means people and the desk jobs. People who are accountants and people who are real estate managers. People who process payroll. People who buy stuff like widgets or pens. You know, you need these people to keep a Big Organization running. What they found, though, there were slightly over 1 Million People holding the core business function jobs. Jonathan wait, wait, wait. Did you say a Million People so the number of people riding the desk is larger than those in the military . Craig its not quite that many but the numbers are pretty close. That is the thrust behind this. The military has a phrase, tooth to tail. Its the tooth, people doing the fighting and the tail is the support functions. That is what you need but the ratio has clearly g of whack. Jonathan what surprised you the most putting the story together . Craig finding the precise figure about 1 Million People, a little over, holding the back office jobs. I have always covered the pentagon for seven years. Its a big place, the defense department. But 1 million boggles the mind. That is pretty striking. The other thing they said they five years. This isnt laying off 100,000 people. They said they could do this in a measured way by early retirement, attrition, negotiating Better Service contracts with contractors. This wasnt radical surgingry. This was maybe yes, it would be tough to get through congress but this was a measured plan. Jonathan a quick question. Im curious. The secretary of defense ash was there contrition, like hey, look, we made a mistake. We need to fix it asap. Craig we havent heard from carter. His press secretary issued a statement to us, to reporters today traveling with the secretary in japan saying that well, we will try to come up with efficiencies where we can and saving money is very important but they found the ways. It wasnt that practical. It was a pretty, you know, middle of the road statement. Jonathan 125 billion, that is outrageous, isnt it . Craig certainly, the story has struck a chord with a lot of the readers who feel how could this be allowed to happen . Why did they follow up on it and hide it afterwards . Jonathan we are out of time. Craig whitlock at the Washington Post, we appreciate your time. Thank ou story that went viral that has local ties. Well tonight, comet ping pong will reopen for the First Time Since a scary scene this weekend. Alison you will remember a man walked in with a gun drawn. Apparently there to investigate what has been a fake news story. Neighboring businesses went on lockdown. Stephen tschida is in northwest. It turns out comet ping pongment is comet ping pong isnt the only business facing threats. Stephen that is true. Hour. Ill tell you, the fake news story has ramifications. You look down connecticut avenue here. Some of the restaurants say they have also been hit with phone calls, threatening phone calls. Police stationed near comet ping pong and standing outside other businesses after a flurry of threats. It was really, really crazy. The past two or three weeks. Stephen presence says edgar welch stormed comet ping pong sunday armed with Assault Rifle and a pistol, the goal to rescue child sex slaves. This is after reading a fake news story online. I think its horrible and bizarre. Stephen welch surrendered after shooting up the place and finding nothing. There are so many people accept what is presented to them without questioning whether its real or not. Stephen the reality that the businesses along this stretch of connecticut avenue on alert. We are getting Death Threats saying well come kill you and come in to shoot you. Stephen a lot of people asked why comet ping pong, why has it been targeted in the fake news story . 20 minutes ago i had a long conversation with the owner of comet ping pong. He says that he and mr. Podesta, Hillary Clintons campaign mana acquainted and they have cooperated on fundraisers and his name surfaced in the wikileaks. He believe that is what led to the Conspiracy Theory and the crazy fake news story that has caused so many problems on this stretch of conley. Stephen stretch of connectict avenue. Stephen tschida, abc7 news. Jamie this is a rough stretch. You can see the flashing lights. This is on the capital beltway loop we have accidents here and other places. It looks in this shot like its 10 00 at night. Its not. That is how low the visibility is. Richard reeve knows what im talking about. Still inching along on the g. W. Parkway. Lets check in with mobiletrak7. Rich . Richard 2 miles per hour. We have been on this thing since 3 50. We are crawling along here. The guys in lefthand lane are moving a little bit. On the righthand lane going everybody fair warning, g. W. Parkway, going to be a slow go. Back to you. Jamie you know what . That is not the only spot. We have slowing almost everywhere you are traveling. Live look at 95 through dale city. You can see we are moving at a nice pace. This is one of the good spots. Take a look at the big picture map. Slowing in d. C. On the freeway. 295. Leaving the city on 395 very heavy past the pentagon. The slowest area is the beltway. Bumper to bumper heading north. Really inching along. We are seeing that as well. Southbound on the capital beltway here as you approach tysons. Lucky we just have one crash on the interstates now. But doug, this is very, very hard for us. Doug yeah, its tough. The good news is its just rain for us as bad as it is. I want to start off with a time lapse from the weather bug camera. This is at sky valley lodge in swanton, where its 33 degrees. The rain and then all of a sudden watch the power lines, watch the trees. Ice, freezing rain. And it continues to pile up there. Now the precipitation will end there in the next few hours but look. It has an effect. We have a number of icerelated advisories in the areas farther west. None of the metro area. We are talking possibility of freezing rain in the highest elevations here along the blue ridge. El especially in the highest elevations 2,000 to ice is accumulating. That will be a rough problem for a while. All the issuers all the issues will go away tomorrow but if you are traveling there tomorrow, its not good. We have patches in yellow and orange on the map and this continues to move northeast. We had two storm systems earlier. One in tennessee and one along the South Carolina coast. The coastal storm is taking over. Good news for us it will speed along the exit of the rain. We are thinking by 7 30 most of the rain south and east of the metro area. Patches of rain through 11 00. Some of the mountain tops keep the freezing rain for a while but by 7 30 in the morning all the precipitation will be done and drier air moves in. Maybe after a cloudy start in a few spots it will be a sunny day with the temperatures getting in the 50degree rain in the afternoon. Its 50 for dismissal time as the sunshine returns but that strong cold front. Highs of 46. Wind chills at 30, 32 all day. Its cold over the weekend.
