Well see what ledecky had to say about that race and you can see more highlights from our interview tonight on news 4 at 6 00. You know, all those medals you saw around her neck. Theyre worth something. U. S. Olympians are taxed on the hardware they bring home. Some members of Congress Want to change that. They want to exempt socalled victory tax. The house will consider legislation about it next month. Olympic medalists are taxed on both the money they receive from the Olympic Committee and the value of their medals. A u. S. Athlete, if you win a gold medal in the olympics, thats 25,000 plus the value of the medal and its taxed. Every medal, every win is taxed. Cant do math that fast. Four golds and a silver. 115,000. Lot of money. Yeah. I wouldnt be carrying them around. What do you mean . Id never take them off. How much is this hamburger. How about if i have a gold medal around my neck . Good way to get free stuff. Seems crazy to pay a tax on winning a gold medal. The tax would be getting up at 2 00 a. M. And swimming laps all day. Anyway, i digress.

It gets closer and closer every year. You know the same concern exists for kids out there as their eyes are still lo theres no conclusive evidence that directly links screen time with nearsightedness in children, but dr.

Children spend too much time on phones and computers and not enough time outside, which can actually be good for developing Long Distance vision. On ipads and iphones and Digital Black boards at school. All of this stimulus, we believe, it causing nearsightedness to rise. The Academy American academy of pediatrics discourages screen time for children under the age of 2. Recommends no more than two hours a day for anyone else.

Its impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the state department begins. Donald trump increasing his attacks on Hillary Clinton last night in texas after an Associated Press report that many donors to the Clinton Foundation met with her while she was secretary of her team is pushing back on that report, though, saying the story relies on, utterly flawed data. Tracie potts is live on capitol hill. Tracie, this is not good news for clinton coming on the top of the scrutiny of her emails. Exactly, aaroaron. Theyre saying they cherry picked this information. Certainly it raises more questions. Not illegal but ethical questions about whether or not theres too much crossover and whether or not the meetings and phone calls that she took as secretary of state were tried to her work with the Clinton Foundation and whether or not donating to that foundation bought special access to the secretary into the state department. Tracie, i want to turn to donald trump now. There have been questions about him backing down from a hard stance on immigration. Whats the latest on that . You know, he said in a fox interview that softening his position is possible. He started out hes still talking about building the wall. Hes being asked hard questions, are you going to break up fal lis . How are you going to get 11 million documented i mmigrants out of country. He plans to sit down with latino leaders in new york tomorrow. Tracie potts on capitol hill for us. Thank you. 5 54 right now. An olympic boxer from Prince Georges County is headed home.
