Reporter just for context here, pat. The federal Transit Administration has taken over direct oversight of metro rail safety.

Over the last couple of weeks they launched this safety blitz and basically were going all throughout the system looking for problems. They turned up some of the issues that you guys were just talking about over the last fire extinguishers that werent there. The high voltage third rail covers that were missing. Telephones down in the tunnels that were supposed to be a critical communication link to people that just werent working. Trains going too fast near track workers and just a host of issues. Smaller issues, but still safety issues and that really presents a problem. The fda sent a letter to metros general manager yesterday telling him that he needs to fix these issues fast. Adam, when something goes wrong its First Responders who have to go down in those tunnels and get folks out safely. What are they saying about this report . Exactly right, chris. Thats why i wanted to talk to some of them today. I talked to the president of the d. C.

Donald trump was giving a speech yesterday and he seemed to have cigarettes and slurpees on his mind. As a professional, when you are taught in school and you make a mistake, do you just keep going or do you correct yourself . Heres what donald trump said yesterday. He actually mentioned 7eleven rather than 9 11 in a speech. I was down there and i watched our police and fire mern down at 7eleven at the World Trade Center right after it came down. Ill tell you, there are a number of comments that y imagine how that went over especially considering hes in new york tonight watching the results. Yes. Yes. You know, i always say, too. These guys give so many speeches. Im always of the mind to cut him a little slack because youre talking nonstop and youll have a mistake. And theres an apology especially if you have Something Big going on. His problem with the store was the icing on the cake. This is a pastor out of texas and believe it or not, was there a wedding going on and he went to go get a cake from the wedding at whole foods. On the cake was written something, we cant show you the whole cake, but it was the saying love win, but it said a little bit more than that. Heres the controversy and he didnt notice until he left the store and at that point in time pastor jordan brown called the store and they said theyd fire the employee and it turns out they are standing never wrote other than love wins on the cake and the pastors put up a video on youtube that went viral and take a look at what he has to say and what people think about the kron tro versy and whole foods says the employee will stay, believe it or not. Okay. We dont have that, but basically it seems like it boils down to theyre saying, well, once the pastor got the cake, he must have done it or someone had access to the cake, but theyre saying it wasnt done at whole foods. If you watch the Youtube Video that he has, he has a sealed box with the cake inside with it written on top and you can see the actual sticker keeping the box sealed. Thats pretty good evidence.
