That is the assessment of President Trump. The commander in chief is live on capitol hill. Good morning. Reporter allison and steve good morning. We know of course members of congress have been briefed on the north korea threat but its President Trumps blunt language thats getting so much attention this morning. New video this morning out of north korea. A military drills and rhetoric heating up. What is dictator kim jong un planning and what will President Trump do about it . In a radio interview with Reuters News Agency the president did not mince words. Theres a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. Absolutely. Reporter its no secret that north korea has been scrambling to develop both Nuclear Weapons and long range missiles. And when those two come together then certainly parts of our country are at risk. Reporter Homeland Security secretary john kelly spoke of the danger while secretary of state Rex Tillerson tells fox china has agreed to lean on north korea. And in fact we were told by the chinese that they informed the regime that if they did conduct further Nuclear Tests china would be taking sanctions on their own. Reporter but beyond that the white house does have public support for its aggressive stance. The new fox news poll shows that a majority of, 53 percent of registered voters favor military action to stop north koreas Nuclear Weapons program. Back at home meantime the president s legislative agenda has stalled somewhat on capitol hill. A vote on healthcare reform that the white house was hoping for this week has been pushed back. But a temporary spending bill to avoid a possible Government Shutdown on saturday is moving forward. And that would be good news for President Trump but if that happens, well see what set the day but that shutdown would have coincided with the president s 100th day in office. Steve and ais hill this morning. Doug, thank you. President trumps pick for secretary of labor has been confirmed. Completing the president s cabinet.

That man then engaged in a 20 hour standoff with police at this home several miles from the shooting scene. Police say 26yearold burgon seally jr. Killed Corporal Stephen ballard who was investigating a suspicious vehicle at the time. Seally later shot and killed by police during that standoff. Its unclear if Corporal Ballard was targeted because he was wearing a Police Uniform at the time. The 32yearold originally from Prince Georges County leaves behind a wife and fiveyearold stepdaughter. Closer to home in Montgomery County an Elementary School princal apologizing for a controversial way she let her staff let off steam. The issue stems from a socalled smash space. Its a trend popular on social media that in which people smash various items to relieve stress. Melanie alnwick live outside of Kensington Parkwood elementary where that smash space was found. Mel, good morning. Reporter good morning, steve and ally son. You know, some people were disturbed by this but other people frankl told us they dont really know what the big deal is. So, back on march eighth there was a rocking chair that was broken beyond repair arent ande principal brought it over to a loading dock area behind the school out of the sight of students and told staff essentially they could take a whack at it as a way for them to relieve stress but after someone posted about it on a school list serve thats when the controversy began. Now, in an apologetic letter to parents the principal explained that they she got the idea after reading business articles about Companies Providing anger rooms or smash rooms as a way for employees to relieve stress. On youtube its pretty see that the trend has been popularized not only on these channels but on other and social Media Channels as well. Looking at these videos you can see how it might be distressing to imagine teachers with some kind of suppressed anger acting out in this way but parents we talked to said it was nothing like this and the whole thing has been overblown. I think that some people are being a little too sensitive to the thing, that the fact of the matter is that our kids come down here to an amazing principal, to an amazing staff who care and love for them every day and no ones ever been worried to send their kids here. Reporter now, principal Barbara Liess admitted perhaps she didnt really think through the idea as well as she should have saying in a letter to parents this was a lapse in judgment and i recognize the concerns this may have raised. Our staff is committed to modeling for students a productive and appropriate ways of handling stress recognizing that she says while well intended this scenario is counter to teach students and has noplace in a school. The one parent i talked to said that what he learned that only one staff member took advantage that of opportunity to perhaps have a little fun tor take out his or her frustrations thon particular rocking chair and they do not believe there have been any other incidents like this. However, Montgomery County Public Schools still saying theyre taking this very seriously. Theyre investigating the incident and also wanting to let the School Community know that they do have programs to allow any School Employees ways to deal with their stress. Live in kensington, im Melanie Alnwick, fox5 local news. Mel, thank you. I was just going to admit it. I might need a smash space in my house after watching the caps game last night. Oh, yeah. But theyre still alive, right . I mean, its okay. Those foam bricks that you throw at the tv. What happens if another game is lost . Is this like is it that big of a deal its not over yet. Rig here cheer up tuckerroo. I think it makes them motivated. Lets go to the forecast. You know what else gets you motivated to get outside and play. The warm temperatures t mid 80s today. That humidity is on the rise along with our summertime temperatures. Mid 80s today and believe it or not 90 or so tomorrow. 67 at reagan national, 58 dulles, 62 bwi marshall. Were going to clear it out here. A little bit of lingering cloud cover bay and east with a weak cold front that came through. Looks like a leftover shower down near ocean city, thats about it. Everybody else will be in on the sunshine including ocean city later today with temperatures in the mid 80s. So, enjoy a beautifulutiful a dry afternoon as well. Were not going to get any storms or showers later today. It will be nice and dry for you. Weekend forecast coming right up. Thank you tuck. See how the friday morning commute is going so far erin good morning. Its not terrible right now so thats better than bad. Right now we have problems so i want to start you off with the issues quantico a southbound crash on 95. This is going against the typical morning rush so an atypical slow down. Arrow truck and police sirens. Two left lanes blocked. Right lane is crawling by. Youre backed up from 234 in dumfries to this point in quantico. Factor in about 30 extra minutes to your commute. Route one southbound is pretty opened other than usual morning volume. Skyfox in laurel, beautiful view of the trees but unfortunately 197 is shut down in both directions. Its hard to make out the utility workers and trucks because of the beautiful trees there but the road is completely shut down between powder mill road and baltimorewashington parkway. You need to detour around that. Lets go ahead and switch it over for a look at our maps. Also keep in mind look at baltimorewashington parkway right now. Both north and southbound sides completely jammed up between the beltway and 32. Southbound side even heavier. Coming to and from the capital beltway to the Baltimore Beltway i would say route one or 95 better bets so you dont get stuck in that massive slow down this morning. The outer loop theres a new crash a blocking the left lane. Thats in the backup already, about a 20 minute slowdown 95 over to Georgia Avenue and another inner loop crash that were dealing with out by 95. 270 southbound jams into clarksburg. Back to you guys. Erin thanks. Lets talk more about the commute this morning as we track metro. More issues could be in store for riders today. Yesterday was problems on the red line today could be lack of workers. Fox5s annie yu is live from metro center with the latest now. Good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, steve and allison. Well, you know, the good news is so far riders tell us its been so far so good. Theres no indication that a sickout is happening but of course, that could all change. Its still very early in the day. But you know, talks of a possible sickout have been going on all week and i want to show you some video from a Board Meeting yesterday that we shot where things did get pretty ugly between the union as well as metro. Many of the metro workers showed up to protest and theyre upset about the changes in policies and this hard line approach by management so dozens of workers did stage a protest there. They dropped protest petitions right in front of metros gm Paul Wiedefeld as they turned their backs, they chanted the words, who moves this city . We move this city. They joined hands to form a human chain outside of metro headquarters and theyre challenging this absenteeism policy which is the route of this possible sickout. This rule requires workers to file absence requests three days in advance for things like calling out sick doctors appointments to get them excused. Metro says this revised policy cracks down on excessive absenteeism. Met says theyve been bracing for this possible sickout after they received nearly 500 sickout requests for friday today. All of those requests were denied. Metro says they expect to offer full rail and bus service today. The union has repeatedly denied that a sickout is planned. Now, wiedefeld says hes not taking any chances. Hes asked supervisors tom pitch in wherever they can to keep things today t meantime this tension between metro and its Workers Union continues because we do know later on this morning the union has scheduled a a News Conference to call for change in this policy so this is sort of await and see situation guys as the day progresses and of course this, you know, relationship between metro and the Workers Union continues. Thats the very latest here from metro center. Back to you in the studio. Annie thanks. 7 12. Lets get to the ice. Verizon center last night caps kicked off round two of the post season with the penguins. Second quarter was the forgettable one, gist 12 seconds in pittsburgh scored. 52 seconds later they would score again. Caps come back to tie at two but then a third period score by nick bonino sealed the deal. Caps loss add home. Redskins luck working out quite well. They got in guy at 17. Team drafted was not expected to be still on the board at that point. Allen told the post mike jones i just want to prove the redskins right for picking me. Nice to have the local guy here. He grew uprooting for the skins so i love that. Welcome back homely. Definitely invested. Yup. Texas teacher in trouble after staging a mock assassination of the president. Inside of her classroom.

Actually its moving pretty good. For a friday. Erin said it was surprisingly, you know, cooperative out there on the roads. Summertime weather. Maybe people are just taking those who can take a nice long weekend, at least a later start of it. Thats why i love summertime. Yes. The living is much easier. I have a traffic complaint. Whats that. Lately when i have been hitting the beltway about 2 oclock in the afternoon theyre doing construction in the middle of the day so the traffic is as bad as it would be. They have to do it then. Would it be possible for them to do it like overnight. I think they do do some overnight. You said do do. Lets get to the forecast. And i laughed. [laughter] right. 67 in wash. Washington. Low to mid 80s later today with even a little humidity. I think youll notice the humidity. I noticed it yesterday. Youll feel it creeping up over the next several days. Near 90 by saturday. All right. I have a map that doesnt want to move. Weak front last night. I didnt get a shower. Maybe a few of us d its pushing off the shore there. You can see it out towards ocean city. Thats really the only weather feature of note here. Otherwise High Pressure builds in. Well be in for a beautiful friday afternoon temperatures in the low 80s. Drive later today if youre going out tonight dry conditions. It will be warm tonight going to the baseball game going to the nats game tonight temperatures in the 70s at game time and heres your weekend forecast. It will be mid 80s today. And your saturday sunday forecast hot and humid tomorrow 91. Sunday could be a popup storm temperatures in the 80s. Oh, boy, really . Popup storm new. Its beep been there are fora couple days. Big plans for sunday. You dont need a popup storm then. Hi erin good morning. Good morning. 7 17. We have a few problem areas on the map. Well start you off with a live look right now. This is a crash seen in the process of clearing but it looks like the left lane is still blocked with that arrow truck 95 southbound at 619. Heading from dumfries into quantico youll hit that delay about a route one southbound dealing with typical morning rush f95 southbound atypical slowdowns. Northbound side not interpret ribble but you will hit some stopandgo traffic across the occoquan. Well switch to skyfox. Tracking a problem in laurel all morning. Utility work heres a nice close view of it. There was a downed pole and some downed wires laurel bowie road between powder mill road and bw parkway. Detour around. That its been closed for sometime now. As we look at our maps bw parkway northbound and southbound this is the worst area of the commute right now between 32 and the beltway both directions with really heavy delays surrounding powder mill road. 95 northbound and southbound better bet to and from the Baltimore Beltway. Outer loop crash left lane blocked at New Hampshire. Caution there. Backing up from route one over to georgia with about a 20 minute slow down. A crash on the inner loop right by bw parkway so give yourself some extra time there. 270 southbound jammed up just a bit from that 70 to clarksburg. You open up and then south of father hurley more delays so about a 35 minute slowdown from 70 down to the spur right 66 eastbound typical slowdowns especially from 234 to 28. Right now its about a 30 minute delay as you head to the beltway. Metro is on time except for safe track. Back to you guys. A check of our top stories now it is 7 19.

How far would you go for coffee thats a cup above . I brought you nespresso. Nespresso. What else . Whirlwind so far. 99 days tomorrow marks the 100th day of the Trump White House getting assessment from both sides of the aisle. Joining us from republican congressman andy harris and democratic Anthony Brown both of maryland. Gentlemen, good morning to both of you. I know we want to talk about your best, your worst of the first 100 days of President Trumps administration so far. I want to ask you first of all, this was interesting that came out yesterday the president talking with reuters and saying essentially this job is a lot harder than i thought it was and i miss those aspects and freedoms of my former life. What is your take on that, and congressman, harris ill start with you . Look im pretty sure everyone who becomes president of the United States feels the same way. You know its one thing to see it from the outside. Another one to be on the inside. But the president is doing a great job and, obviously gotten used to the job. Any job takes awhile to get used tom congressman brown, let me take things over to you and get your take on that comment about the first 100 days and the president s thoughts on it. Look, when candidates are on the campaign trail for 18 months, they should get a sense if they dont already have it that this is tough work. Governing is tough its not like, you estate deal, but its balancing a lot of competing interests, and i think the failures weve seen in this administration over the first 100 days reflects the president s lack of understanding of what this work is all about. Its very disappointing. All right. Right off the top, differing opinions as we might expect from the two of you. Lets get into specifics now. Congressman harris, ill start with you. What do you think is the top accomplishment of the president s first 100 days . I think its delivering on the promises he made on the campaign trail. Whether its the appointment of neil gorsuch to the supreme court, illegal immigration down 72 last month at the border, whether its making America Great again in the eyes of the world. I think its delivering on his campaign promises. All right. Delivering on campaign promises. Congressman brown for you the number one accomplishment would be what . First of all ill give you the president d minus for first 99 days the only real accomplishment that i would acknowledge was his nomination and of secretary mattis at the department of defense. Hes smart, hes studied, and hes been a real cautioning and calming voice i think at the department of defense within the president. Hes reminded the president that the United States should not engage in torture. Hes had to go to iraq and reassure our allies were not there for oil as the president suggests but there to provide stability and he had to go to europe to reassure our european allies were going to support nato and were going to be there for europe notwithstanding what the president has been saying or was saying during the campaign trail. So i give him a high mark for general mattis over all d minus. The high mark to general mattis. Lets go back to you, congressman harris. In your opinion, whats been the top set back so far . I think when the president gave his inaugural address he talked about wanting to unite america, wandering to all sides to Work Together. He specifically made that point. And i think its just ki shame that the president hasnt had the democrats have not reached across the aisle to work on delivering the agenda that again the president won the election on. I think thats probably a big disappointment for him. All right. Congressman brown, same question to you. What do you feel is the top set back . You touched on few things earlier in your previous statement. What do you feel would be at the top of that list . Yeah, its a long list, and the president unwillingness to reach across the aisle. He doesnt have a plan to reach across with. He doesnt have a plan for health care for everybody which he promised. The president promised an infraStructure Plan. We havent seen that. Which would create jobs i think both democrats and republicans are looking for an train Structure Plan and the president promised hed have strategy to combat isis, and, you know, one bomb in afghanistan doesnt make to for a strategy. So dem democrats are willing tok to make government work and to work witness administration, but when there are no plans and no details, it doesnt give you much to work with. I same question. Congressman harris back to you and give you first crack at this one. The two of you are obviously in agreement there has not been reach across from one side of the aisle to the other here and Work Together. What does it take to get to that point knowing what weve learned in this 100 days and there has been, l have been stand offs on both sides in trying to do this. But we have big issue. We have health care. We have taxes. We have the Border Wall Campaign promises from President Trump. What will it take for both sides to Work Together . A specific issue or Something Else . Well, look, i think that, again, the president in his inaugural address reach across the aisle. One person has to make the first move. The president did make the first move. In response he gets threats of shutting down the government from the democrat majority in the senate. If they dont do, f the president doesnt do everything that the democrats want. Thats not working together. Thats not compromise. Its going to have to take someone reaching out to the president. The president has reach out to the i think that, you know, the effort has to be made. It hasnt been made yet. I think maybe on the infrastructure bill it will be although i suspect theyll be impass on that as well and, again, on the border wall, for instance, look majority of americans believe we should protect our southern border and yet this has become a flash point in the current negotiation. I think this is going to extend into the negotiation in october. Because honestly im not sure we need a wall in some places but, again, the democrats have just totally opposed the president on this. I think irrationally opposed the president on this against the will of the american people. But im afraid that the flash points like that are going to continue until, again, both sides of the aisle reach across to each other and Work Together. Congressman brown, your take on that that reciprocal effort who blinks first . Look, the president should be demonstrating leadership but also theres a failure in the congress in terms of the republican leadership. Steve, there have been so many bills that have come to the floor that have rolled back protections for the environment, for consumers, health care, financial protections, work force protections yet there have been virtual follow hearings in committees, very few committee markups all of this is being done in the back room closed doors. So this rhetoric this notion about reaching across the aisle it starts by opening up the process and getting back to regular order. I think you see in an administration in today particularly a greater interest in scoring points on 100 day report card than actually making progress for the american pe people. This idea that there would be this cram down of a Health Care Bill that would eliminate guaranteed issue and would and the protections we have for preexisting conditions it would increase the costs for seniors. It would eliminate the search benefits these are examples of a did administration and leadership in Congress Republican leadership thats more interested in scoring points than opening up regular order and reaching across the aisle. 99 days down. Tomorrow will mark 100 days d down. Almost 1400 to go. Congressman brown, congressman harris appreciate talking with you. Hope to talk to you again in the next 1400 days in this administration. Good to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you. Lets check in with Tucker Barnes and get a check of the forecast. Warm temperatures and humidity today. Well get lots of sunshine, temperatures in the mid 80s. Lets get it to. Already in the 60s. In fact wherever cooled off whole lot overnight. Nice warm summer night. 67 thats how it felt at reagan national. Dulles 58. 62 in baltimore bwi marshall. Weak front moving through pushing off the coast. We will feature lots of sunshine today. It will be warm and it will be humid and let me mention it will be dry.

This is fox5 news morning. Good friday morning im allison seymour. Im steve chenevey. Thanks so much for joining us this morning. Its 8 00 a. M. , friday, apri. Heres whats on the fox5 news morning menu. Teachers blowing off steam by smashing furniture at a local school. Why they might have felt relief but the the heat. This morning an apology from the principal and reaction from parents. Bob . Reporter hey, guys, were at the frost cafe in culpeper v have a. We were here the morning after the election. Were back again and Trump Country getting reaction to this first 100 days. Also ahead a steal for the skins. And hes a hometown kid.

This is a live look outside beautiful start to the weekend. Highs in the 80s today. Thats going feel like summertime wait until tomorrow. Well leave it at that for now. Check in with tucker in just a few minutes. A minute after the hour more now thon controversial smash space in Montgomery County. So its a trend popular on social media in which people smash various items to release stress. Principal at Kensington Park wood elementary apologizing for allowing staff to use the space. Not everybody sees an issue with this idea. School with more this morning. Mel, good morning. Reporter good morning, steve and allison. Yeah. Some people were disturb by this. Other people said they didnt think it was any big deal. Heres what happened. The principal says it was back on march 8th and there was rocking chair that was broken beyond repair and so she decided to allow people to have a little smash space fun witness apparently it was an area of the school similar to this loading dock here basically it was out of the school, away from the site of the students, but then someone posted about it on the school serve when the controversy began. Now in apologetic letter to parents the principal explained she got the idea after reading business articles about Companies Providing anger rooms or smash rooms as way for employees to relieve stress much the trend also been popular arrived on social media. A lot of youtube videos hear about this. But if you look at these videos and you can see how it might be distressing to imagine teachers with suppressed anger actin o to said, it was nothing like this, and the whole thing has been overblown. If they know her, which most of them do, they know theres nothing to be worried about. That it was an idea she was thinking outside the box for her staff, and maybe it was a bad idea. Thats up for debate. Whats not up for debate is kids come here every day, theyre safe, theyre cared for, because of miss lisa. Reporter and miss lease the Barbara Barbara lease put out apologetic statement in that she said perhaps she didnt think the idea out as well as she should v heres part of her statement saying that this was a lapse in judgment and that she recognizes the concerns this may have raised, that staff is committed to modeling for students and one another productive and appropriate ways to handle stress. Recognizing that while she said well intended this scenario is counter to what we teach students and has no place in a school. Now, we dont really know for sure how often happened, if this was an iso isolated incident, but that parent that i talk to said that hes unthe impression it was only one staff person that took advantage of that opportunity, nonetheless, Montgomery County Public Schools says theyre taking this very seriously. That theyre investigating the incident and everything surveillance sounding it, and also wanting to let the Community Know that they do have programs to allow teachers and staff positive ways to relieve their stress.

Erin, i dont know why it took me so long i solve the mystery of your chair. What is it . Kevin. Tall person who sits in your chair. That makes so much sense and then heres the problem i walk over to do the morning meme and talking about traffic im not paying attention im sitting at the kids table. You dont have time to adjust it. Right. Mystery solved. Thank you. Kevin Mccarthy Well talk later. Just kidding. Look at this. Seeing huge problems on 270. Northbound side at father hurley boulevard just beyond this point there was Police Activity that had all lanes blocked. We just talked to state police, assignment editor kenny thank you for that traffic is getting by but at a crawl still Police Presence rubberneck delay and congestion on the southbound side. 270 super flow by father hurley boulevard. Take 355 if you can. Otherwise get stuck in the rubberneck delay or northbound delay. As we move over to virginia right now this is a look northbound gallows road at arlington boulevard. Crash let me get out of the way clear to the right shoulder. Traffic getting by in much better shape right now as we switch it to our maps. Other issues this morning. Once we hit the 7 30 half hour things really got busy out there with our maps we can show you what else youre up against this morning. Southbound Georgia Avenue as you head out in Silver Spring closed with a crash at seminary place. Look at that backup. Huge delays there. The outer loop big red zone 29 dealing with slow downs. We had earlier crash at New Hampshire avenue on the outer loop as well as university boulevard. So its about 35 minute delay from route 1 over to the 270 spur. 270 southbound heavy its backing up on to the in your opinion as well southbound bw parkway a new crash at 410. Look at that southbound delay jammed all the way back to 193. So really nasty commute there. As you head into Riverdale Park this morning. Give yourself extra time or take the beltway elsewhere just be prepared for those delays. 197 remains shut down in both directions laurel between bw parkway and powder mill road because of utility work from earlier pole that was down and look at bw parkway directions. So slow. Take 95 but factor in an extra time. Two or from the Baltimore Beltway this morning not such a great commute he is special headed to bwi for morning flight, 95 is the way to go. As we switch it over right now you can see the 95 southbound delay however from the icc on down. Again its just turning out to be a busier morning than we once anticipated. Right now still about 30 minute delay from 234 all the way to the beltway as you hit 66 eastbound metro is on time except for safetrack impacting the green and yellow rush plus lines. Back to you. Speaking of the commute were tracking metro this morning and the question has been really for the last few days will there be a sick out today by metro workers. Thats what were monitoring after a week of back and forth claims between the union and metro management. Fox5s annie yu is following this story for us. As shes done this week. Shes live from metro center this morning with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, steve and allison. The good news is riders tell us so far so good. Theres no indication at this point that theres shortage of workers or something is happening a sick out. Things running smoothly here at metro center across the d. C. Region. But there is still a level of uncertainty of course because its still very early in the d day. Theres been talks of possible sick out happening for days now. And this is all because metro and its largest Workers Union they are currently locked in very bitter contract dispute. Things got even uglier yesterday during a Board Meeting yesterday that we were at. Workers upset about changes in the policies. Ies. Management and so dozens of workers showed up and staged this protest that youre looking at. They dropped protest petitions right in front of metro gm Paul Wiedefeld they turned their backs on him and chanted who moves this city, we move the city. Then they went outside around metro headquarters and joined hands to form a human chain. Now, workers are challenging the new absenteeism policy which is the root behind this possible sick out. The rul file absence requests three days in advance for things like calling out sick, doctors appointments to get them exc excused. Metro says that they have to do this to crack down on excessive absenteeism. The Transit Agency they have been bracing for this possibility all week. Since wednesday after received nearly 500 sick day requests for friday. Now all of those requests were denied. Metro says they expect to offer full normal service again no issues this morning. We spoke to the union. They have repeatedly denied a sick out is planned. And you know gm Paul Wiedefeld says hes not taking any chances he let us know early on that he does have a plan b. Hes asked supervisors to step up in case there are any issues and later this morning, around 10 30, we know that the union is getting together for a news presser to call changes to this absenteeism policy. The story doesnt end here, guys. Back to you. Annie, thank you very much. See in you little bit. 8 11.

Yeah, i am. 8 17 right now a crash did clear mostly out of the way. This is actually on gallows road northbound as you make your way out by arlington boulevard. You can see just a little bit of traffic at the light there but much better conditions so this intersection show you the 270 northbound Police Activity at father hurley that cleared out of the way. Traffic looking much better. Southbound side thats completely jammed up right now with a lot of heavy traffic as you make your way down from 70 basically to the beltway a 45 minute delay so be prepared for that one. Lets switch it to our maps right now. Other slow zones as we take look at our drive times. Slowest zone the outer loop 95 to Georgia Avenue. 16 minute delay. We had two earlier crashes one by New Hampshire avenue another one by university boulevard. Other than that, were yellow across the board on 95 northbound from dale city to the beltway. 25 minute ride. 395 as you cross mixing bowl from the beltway to the bridge 28 minutes. Prince georges parkway to the beltway 46 minutes trip. Southbound Georgia Avenue remains shut down at seam nary place. Inner loop delays coming off the 270 spur from volume all wait over to Georgia Avenue and then the outer loop you can see those slow downs. Southbound bw parkway crash at 410. Jammed all the way back to 193. Try toy avoid the southbound side of bw parkway no of 95 outside the capitol beltway better bet for you than bw parkway. Well keep update on those delays. Metro is on time except for safetrack. Allison and steve. Want to talk sports right now because boy we have a lot to talk about.

At least the first four times the commissioner went up to announce a pick the philly fans trued to form booed the commissioner. They expected him to get booed. This is part of the whole thing even when it was in new york and chicago he got booed. Hes not very popular guy. He was with those draft picks. Was he really though .

Theyre just excited theyre about to get paid. Theyll hug anybody. Hail hug you, steve, mack the cameraman, chris on the floor. I digress. Let me get on with the story then. The draft as you guys just mentioned was in philadelphia for the First Time Since 1961. By the way the first eve draft 1936 in philadelphia. Cleveland browns they didnt shock anybody. They picked texas a and m defensive miles garr as the top choice had the also not a surprise oh . Good dell walked out to get the draft started and expected boo boo and he was like, come on bring it on. Boo. Whole thing thing.

Those leaders say instead of having overwhelmed officers retreat from the riot zone they pulled them back as what happened in 92 they now would have had strategies to platoons of officers into riot zones. Also say interaction between police and the community in la much better today than it was in 1992.

We were here the morning after the election gauging reaction. This is Trump Country, and back here this morning, its a fairly full house here. We came out here because we started our morning after the election in the city and people were just shell shock.

So hopefully he can find a way to overcome those. Weve heard some of the farmers and Small Business owners in this area who are big trump supporters. Now not so sure. Um, i think some peoples pins have probably changed since the election. He said and done some things that are pretty controversial. So i can see how peoples minds would change. Jason, how about yourself . Did you vote are you a trump person. Im a trump supporter. I believe in what he does. And i believe hes going to turn this country around. So far i mean are you still i believe that. Hes next reagan for me. Reagan was a great president and hes heading down the same track. He believes in what he believes and his work ethic is unbelievable for me. Anything that you can point to so far that youre glad that hes accomplished in his one dread days. Not to be controversial.

Random thougs mccarthy. 8 40. Author ho writes about parenting penn agnew type of work now going viral. Her daughter is quote done with homework. Done. Long Facebook Post explains her reasoning saying in part her ten year old daughter is in school five days week for eight hours. Doesnt think its right that on top of that she gets another two to three hours of homework to do every night. She goes on to ask is my family time not important . Is time spent just being a child relaxing at home not important . Or should she become some kind of junior workaholic at ten years old. She also argues that in the country of finland homework is banned but still they have the highest rate of College Bound students in europe. She also believes children need time to relax tox play enjoy their childhood and adds her daughter does plenty of reading and research on things that interest her on her own time. She says her daughter will no longer complete any homework assignments and if her daughter gets punished for that shes willing to home school her. Which is what she might end up doing sch and yeah. Unless you can convince them to change the system you have to go along with it for now. Let me tell you something. I know a lot. I do agree. At an Elementary School level, there should be a time and if you, you know, just show that you worked on the homework or whatever, thats my opinion that work should be done in class.

That means some where amazing. Ill be in two places. Im excited. But its for movie called alien covenant and murder on the space. Im going to space. To the moon. Im going at the moon for an interview. Im interview sir ridley scott on the moon. So maze. I cant wait. Okay. Dont tell my wife. Any ways, the new movie the circle came out today, and this is a film that was not scree washington, d. C. Area. Publicized a lot, was it. Oddly enough the trailers were all saying anticipated by all these outlets. Nobody saw it. And they screened it for certain outlets across the country so there are some reviews online. Im not sure how they chose. I wouldnt when they know that its so bad that they dont want to release it to critics. Great question. Going into the Movie Theater last im wondering how could this possibly go wrong . Great cast. You have tom hanks, emma watson, john, Karen Guillen, pat oswald. Local from d. C. Great director. Great concept. The idea here is that emma watson becomes a new employee at a Company Called the circle which tom hanks is the head of and the whole idea this movie the commentary our our lives are completely over shared and we have no privacy everything is on social media so its a cool idea. I mean this is something that could work on paper, right . Obviously. The problem with the film was the script is absolutely ho it plays out like a very choppy very very amateur effect type movie it doesnt feel like its been put together well. You have these amazing performers. Hangs is great in the movie, and so is Karen Guillen emma watson again was not right for this role. I love her being a wallflower, in harry potter films, in the bling ring. I didnt think she was right for bell in beauty and the beast. I dont think she was right for this character as well. She was very wooden. It poses a lot of questions which allison and i were discussing earlier, about this idea of over sharing. Our business, we they want to us talk about, you know, what were doing and were sharing and twitter and facebook. But the problem is, the dangers of that and were getting to this show called the black mirror on netflix which is has been covering this topic for couple years now. Right. This show is phenomenal and to me if you want this type of concept, watch this show instead of watching the i gave the circle a 1. 5 out of five. This show which is on netflix has all of the basically all the same concepts but done over episodes. Its much better. Its a phenomenal show. All i will tell you, episode one of 2000 season one call the national anthem. Maybe skip that one. Dont watch that one first, kev. Let me say its one of the most disturbing episodes youll ever see in your life. Its the first one i watch. If you can get passed that one, then dont watch that one first. You can handle the rest. Watch that one first. Its awesome. No kids kids though. Only adults. 60 skip the circle. Go to netflix watch black mirror. Theres three seasons, two or three episodes per season. I have three left in season four. I want to geoff credit to to my wife. She look at me and said this is a bad episode of black mirror. Right. Whats the most episode taking a break . Ive probably seen i prob probably watched five back to back episodes of 13 reasons why unfortunately. But yeah. I did watch that back to back. Why did you say unfortunately. I thought the ending was too brutal. I couldnt handle it. It scarred me. I didnt i thought it was too much. All right. So, yeah. Any ways. Moving on, the a lot of films you can also see la la land on bluray if you want to check that one out. That came out on tuesday. I know that tucker bought like 27 copies of it. Im not sure why 27 but hes excited about that. Logan is still in theaters. Do recommend seeing this i love this movie very much. My second five out of five of the year and also get out still in theaters as well thats also a five out of five. So those are the two unless you can still see in theaters i recommend watching black mirror. Black mirror what you shall definitely watch. All right. Youll notice some of the stars cross, you know, pollinating if you will like the star of get out. Hes in the second episode of black mirror on the show.
