Yo to talk about your favorite player. Steph curry . I like stephh curry. Curr which one was more impressive ie last night the golden statedest game and steph curry or kobes game with the lakers. Aker kobes game with the lakers. Lakers golden state dominating. In i want to know why in just aus Golden State Warriors officially cemented themselvesee in the record books. He last night they beat the grizzlies 124105 to become the first team in history to win 73 regular season games. G and that shatters the 199596 Chicago Bulls record of 72 wins. Remember who was the star on who that team. Just somebody named Michael Jordan one of the greatest ofato all times. Tim steph curry last night hit 10 3pointers. Po he had 46 points making him the first player to sync 400o s 3pointers in one season. Easo meanwhile allisons man, the legendary kobe bryant playedla his last game with the lakersher last night and in typical hollywood fashion it was afashnt show. All right. Kobe dropped 60 points in his hs career finale against the utah jazz. Jazz. He made 22 out of 50 shots. Sho 50 shots was a record fromro back in the 80s or the most since, what did you say,ay steve, since jordan took 49. 50 slots in one game. G the lakers win this one, 101 to 96. To6. One of their 17 wins. S. 17 wins out of 82 games on the season. Season at the end of that kobe of t addressed the fans. F i cant believe its come bel to an end.

Shoot shoot it. S like he needed somebody tosomedy tell him to shoot. Hoot. Lakers finished the season 17so7 and 65. Heres the thing. Th whats the thing. Hi golden depp state had then de more impressive night. N steph curry has been scoring 40 points on real teams all year long. They broke the record. Or hes reigning m. V. P. M. V. P theyll probably win again. Prlyw hes probably going to get thehe m. V. P. Again. The lakers have won 17 games. Hm we get to the end of the season. Kobe landon squat all year. Uaal. All of a sudden he takes 50udde shots and gets 60 andand everybody is like oh. Thats my last kobe bryant bry hate. Wisdom. Im retiring.

You got to love a big youa bi got to love it. E its show business. Its show business. Bines and thats what i love. Tha always slow time with thewite lakers. Steph curry is the realurrysa deal its almost like passingsing the torch. E torch. Kobe when he was like in his prime he was giving thating t excitement. Before curry was born kobe bo was the man. The man. 20 years in the nba isba awesome for anybody to dony that. I want to apologize for looking like i wasnt payingas attention and i was trying to get a trivia question. Ue who averaged more shots perots r season kobe or like cale jordan. Jordan. Average, youre talkingrage about average some shots takenok per season. R se im going with kobe he. Am i wrong. Ro.

Now i think its good to find out at as much as we can about whatutha happened. Happened. Whats interest nothings in charges but the former hairs hi name dog gone it keeps poppingpi up. Why is the connection still there. Ther obviously a file release on friday all the people the government secured cooperation s deals with are finally starting to be zen teed in the case of Vernon Hawkins friends of him, shadow cam pin op tiffs is being sentenced. The government and him arend hie jousting. Jong. Okay. Lots of intrigue in this, too. So theres a close relative supposedly that well fine out o about.

A lot of stuff dribbling out asa people get sentenced but again a well have to see what happens on friday it lab lot of seven on warrants opened up. Up. Okay. Well find out what they seized when theyou did differene raids and over a period of three years. Just to go back, you know, g here in washington we feel likee everybody is so familiar withmiw what this is. Hiss. But this all stems from the 2011 election or campaign for mayor m vince gray. Y exactly. Exactly. Remarkable how long this hasow been running course. Crs still talking about it. Ng abo i yes, half Million Dollars illicit effort to get himo g h elected. He says he knew nothing wronghiw whats interesting about this ii that hes running in ward sevenv right, but this campaignig treasurer says look back when w this was really big news in 2012 he got more than 50 of the votv in ward seven. So, you know, perhaps it wont t affect his chances. Do you think then wellu th finally get really a clearre picture of what did and what did not happen in this election . Elo i dont think well evert t know. You dont think so. S i dont whether vince gray new. New. Obviously theyre not going tont charge him so it will never belr settled in trial but hopefullyol it will shed more light on whatt happened and really what and happened in the investigation an well. Well. Why there was such a run up anda no charges were filed. Iled. Running for council seatil st trying to regain and rebuildebld perhaps. Are you surprised that the former mayor would still be oute and looking for a public seat . You know, im never surpriser by anything that happens in d. Cd thats the fun of it.

Showdown yesterday op camown toll hill. Ll hl. Heated he can changes many areee talking about this morning. T thi metro officials going head t head with members of congresson yesterday. New metro Board Chairman jack evans came hat in hand but not so politely asking fong more money. All im asking from you is 300 million which is your fairf share given the fact that we transport 50 of your work force every day. Eray you want them to be safe. You want this to be reliable. Ele you just want to leave here like we in 2005 don nothing. Nothi if we do that next timet tim something happens im blaming ii on you guys because we need your help. He one key lawmaker says quote s im not going to bail you out. And that lawmaker is florida congressman john micah whoohn mc shared the hearing and joins us now live from capitol hill. Congressman g morning. Morning good to to see you this morning. Good morning. It was a heated exchange. D xc it sure was. And youre no stranger to thattt on capitol hill. Il sometimes things do get heated,a but its heat the with passionhn and its heated with the desirer for results. Now, metro boar heard from came hat in hand asd we said asking for money and you had a Quick Response to say,ay probably shouldnt be coming to us asking for money right now. Well, you have years of bad management. You have a system that is in in disrepair. Its their fault. Heir fault we are providing 66 of the capital funds, and they have 783 million sitting there as of two weeks ago they haventyav expended so dont come and ask a me for more money from the medicinal government which isnm already broke. B and youre saying not justots d. C. , maryland needs to step upp virginia needs to step up. P. Look, youve been here for aeenf long time. Youve been the district has two and a td half billion dollars surplus. Sl they can also contribute money,y but were paying an towards Capital Expenditures ane those are the improvement thatim is need to be made. Be me. We gave them a billion and a and half over 10 years. 150 million a year for 10 yearss and they havent spent some of e that money. The Communication System whichye we ended up losing one person that didnt work last january. Ja we had a fatality. They still dont have that that project done, and weve been onn that for over 10 years. 10 y i want to talk more about the accountability. First, for just a second, letss listen to what one of your one r colleagues from across the eyere had to say yesterday. Yeste this is congressman jerryngressj connelly. Nnel lets listen in for one second. N right. T in virginia, we pay the subsidy. Bsidy. My local taxpayers. Par so when you say, a bail out, my constituents hear something somt quite different. I hope you will keep that ifkeet mind as you care about your people mr. And care about ours because weut foot the bills in have a have not the state. Were quite sensitive to the fact that we already pay high hh subsidies and have one of thehe highest fare bucks recovery recr rates in the country. Congressman mica you hold lol of cards in this situation. Sti how do you work this out betweeb the jurisdictions involved andc congress when it comes to future funding . Well, congressman failed togm mention that we havee unprecedented transit subsidiesi too for federal workers. So were contributing on the the operational side but were contributing 66 of the money tm for capital which isch is unprecedented in any system in s the country. So i do think, n virginia, vgi maryland and the district couldu step up to the plate on thee operational side. Na the federal governmenten doesnt doesnt providet p operational subsidies. Sidi only in rare cases we did that when we had the fiscal melt d for some communities. Niti but you cant do that. We just cannot operate. Ope and they have plenty of money in their covers so on the the operational side, they need tod continue to step up to the pla plate. Congressman, one thing wegres havent had in the past forhad n metro and i think youll agreeor with this the new general manager Paul Wiedefeld is takink this approach, yes, there havehe been situation that is have nott work in the past, there has beee wasteful spending, whatever ithe is, some type of ineptitude. Were now trying to take controk of this and move forward andrd a show accountability. What in your opinion does metro have to do to prove to pro yourselves and other members ofo congress that theyre doing the right thing, theyre headed iny the right direction . Well, theyve got a newve g w manager, and i reached out to him yesterday and we will reachr out to him to work with him, bu, theyve got to get the moneyon that we already have backed up 783 million and make the millin improvements, particularly thely safety improvements and operational improvement that isa node to be made. To bead well you know, yesterday an old storo but weve got to move for. Ove weve got to have a safe and secure system that operates well for the people of the district. R you know, unfortunately, the ridership is down and the a operating costs are up. Costs are so hes got his hands full. The delegation locally has alsoh said he needs to fire some fir s people and i agree with that. T. No one has been fired yet. I guess we had the resignationia of Safety Officer but they needn to go in and clean house, get people who can get the job done. Be responsible with taxpayers money thats sitting there idol without safety improvements ma made. No doubt about it. N a lot of work still to be done,n and safety and securityurity obviously one of the over wellhl myth things that has to be doneh as well. At congressman, i know it was heated yesterday. We appreciate your calm demeanoo with us this morning with us. Ngu its great to talk to you. Talk y ill have my coffee now. Myoffe all right. All r enjoy. Thanks for your time this f morning.

T the Fox Medical Teams beth b galvin joins us from atlant at o talk about this. Talk i love this segment. Me good morning, beth. B reporter good morning,ning allison. Lets talk about how we canec get healthier for little bite b cheaper. Chear reporter okay. Oka well, you know, youve heard aur lot about super foods and theyre basically super foods s arent really a thing theyre kind of a term thats created by Food Companies and theyrend the supposed to be sort of these alt in one foods. Foods everything you need in one food. But the Food Companies andnd nutritionists kind of differ ono this. Is. Nutritionists say you cant geta everything you need in one foodf and they have a couple c suggestions about foods thatha arent going to be as expensivei but can still provide a huge amount of nutrients. Nutrien so well start with kale. Kale. You heard about kale. Everybody is talking about kalel yes. Es reporter healthy disputeis for kale would be broccoli. Same amount of nutrients almostt lots of fiber in there, a lot l less expensive than kale easieri to find. Another thing, quinoa agentnoa t grain that everybody has on eve their menus now right now. Instead of quinoa our nutritions recommended trying brown riceinn which is the healthiest of the t rice, has some protein, has a lot of fiber in there, and a third suggestion she made m instead of chi ya seeds you probably heard about eat adding chi cereal she recommends just jt grabbing some flax seeds whicheh again are easier to find, veryer high in protein, very good fordo you and a way to kind of jump start your day. Allison . Son . Okay. Also, you know weve heard itkn before try to get all the colors on your plate and that is also o true when youre talking aboutna vegetables, right .

Allison . Okay. Depending on where you go, beth, veggies and fruit it can becan b pretty expensive. En any tips how to save a couple oe pennies that way but still getut your produce . Pdu reporter absolutely. Ely i would shop in season when youu can. So whateve sale and then i would if iti not in season, go with frozen fe because lots of frozen producenu is just as healthy as the freshe stuff its frozen sort of at its prime, and you can save moneye n there.
