We want to turn toback breakn news now. Ws now. Very serious news coming out ofo baltimore. Six children still unaccountednt for after an overnight househtou fire in the city. Y. Fox5s Melanie Alnwick has justt arrived on the scene. Ne. Melanie, what can you tell usell about whats going on there now . Reporter the latest a very v grim search has begun. M search i want to show you the house h e there. You can see it where the smokemo is still rising smoldering thert inside this home. Thise. It was completely engulfed whenn firefighters arrived. Rred it began at 12 30 this morning. G were on spring brook springg wood avenue just off of bell air road otherwise known as route 11 youre going to see an excavator that came from. F what is happening now, is that firefighters are basicallyal having parts of the front of the building pulled away and then tn theyre going to have to liftg o some debris and do a hand searcc for these six children that are believed to be unaccounted for r inside this home. Om now, when firefighters arrivedsd there was a woman and three thr other children outside of the home. They were taken to the hospital. The woman is believed to be the mother eight months to 11 years old. The mother and two of thef children are in criticalcal condition. Ion one child in serious condition. I asked the fire chief here howh confident he was that theen children were insidt hee. Nsid his answer to me was that wevee been reporting on thi extensively since 4 00 their this morning if those 0 children were anywhere else, they feely f they would heeave known by now. W i asked him how did they knowheo there were six children insidend there . And he told me they havh been in contact with theact th t childrens father who was not aa the home at the time. Tim but he could not characterizeiz the parents relationship. Io did he and know if the fatherate lived here or lived somewhere else at this point. Pnt so it sound like theyre prettyt confident that those six children perhaps are in that house and if indeed they are ini this house, theres little literally no way they could have survived you see back out live that excavator here pulling awaa the front of this home is whats expect that there will be somees flare ups occasionally because c it is still smoldering and burning well underneath. So as they start to remove the t debris and the layers of thes oe collapse because the third floof collapsed into the second andnd then those two layers collapseda down on to the first, and so theyve got fire hoses stillho standing by because they do expect there going to go ino goi there. We here in the media being veryv very careful with what we are ae going to shoot and what werehaw going to show you because it is expected its possible as they bring those loads of debris outt that there could be some young victims inside. Ins back to you guys. Heartbreaking. Mel, i know its still early. W t do they have any idea what coull have caused this . Reporter no, none at all really way too too early to tell. Isnt i imagine so. Mel thank you for update. Isnt o well check in with you. What do you say . No words. Wds too heartbreaking. Br go from baltimore to northerr virginia. Rginia. Another situation stillher developing there. De involving a schoolbus and aoolba tractor trailer. Tor ailer. It happened in leesburg. Two students on that bus takenak to the hospital as a precaution. They complained of minor min headaches. No major injuries here. It happen at 7 30 this morningoi but the truck took off. That truck is described as being red and white in color. Cor take a picture from sky fox right now you can see theee the schoolbus just now being towedet from the scene. Om the sce but at this point, investigators and authorities still lookingl o for the tractor trailer that maa have been involved in thatd in t incident involving a schoolbusls in loudoun county.

Holly ill toss it to you. Y thanks tucker. Anks tke our next guest is an Award Winning polster and one of the premier strategist in nationalaa progressive politics. S. He served on the polling team during both of obamasringh president ial campaigns end joini us this morning to talk aboutbo his new book black man in then white house it touches on just how deep and jagged racial fault lines continue to be. E. Cornell belchers track tracks a the racial oh version and itssia impact over the course of theof Obama Presidency and raceses impact on the 44th president snt legacy and this morning were sw fortunate that hes joining useg in the loft. He loft. Thank you for coming in. Ng in thank you i feel fortunate. A i watch you all the time. Im like we said welcome home. Elm [ laughter ] you always have a place herea tell me a little bit about youru book. Bo a black man in the white house. Why write this book. B who is it for. Ir its for america, right. Ht working on Obama Campaign wasn w one greatest things of myngs of lifetime. Lifeti i remember after 2008 historic election, won the majority, mort expanded the electorate broughto new people into the process ands there was lots of conversations about being entering a pulseg al racial period in the country ant we made this historic break through. Roug but truth of the matter is, we didnt in fact more pro postro p racial i started doing pollingng around race a version tracking k it i actually thought that t racial a version would lessenesn over the course of his presidency. Id the hope. The hope. I was with the hope righth tt that we we were becoming morr post racial the truth of theruf matter is we saw arise an increase in racial a version and for the election of barack obamb and lets understand back toac back majorities while losing tht vast majority of white votersot thats the first time that t fir happened, right, in 2012 he lost even he got even smallerller percentage of the white vote for the first time the white w political powe the day. Ay. And you saw a backlash of that, academics they talk about when certain groups feel threatenedee anxious moments they pull backlb and mc more National List tickik the data tracks that and so thet perfect storm that builds up tot donald trump and why many peopll were amazed we can win the the republican nomination. In when i was looking at my data,yt he hit the perfect niche. The conversation about people ao want to go take back the country. We should understand they do feel as though theyre ld osinun their country. Their try. And they want to take back theit country. Untr and donald trump was the perfecr candidate for that. Candidr but what i also argue is, its problematic because demographics are destiny, right. Were not going to become aom wider country. Wi we just arent. So we have to stop playing the zero sum racial group game f we do we lose the future. Uture. While the pacific women are educating their kids weresere arguing about whose an american, future. Re is it possible, though, thata some people voted for trump nott because theyre racists . Arere you able to just not like somees of the Barack Obamas policies,c not the fact that hes a black a man. Ma i would have the same questionn for maybe hillary followers. Olwe i just dont like her policies. E its not i dont like that shes a woman or is everybody thatdy voted for trump sexist and and racist. Absolutely not. I never used the term racist. Right. What i, what i want to avoia is in fact the sort of pointingn the finger and value judgment ot those are bad people. Ple. Look, if you are a blue collarlo white worker in middle emergencn truth of matter is your world id changing. Ging. Right . And we should understant that your world is changing. However your world however h the bad guy in your worldr wor changing is not the mexican worker who is taking some jobs right . Thats not the bad guy. Y the history of our political history has been one we pittedit one group against another. The southern strategy has beenye one of the most successful strategies ever about pittingit one racial group againstalup a another. An i argue that, we cant win thet future that way. Because were at a Tipping Point right now where demographicsphs really are destiny. Ti well have to get along, right,t were going to have to understand that we that this conflict is like the boy said bs the problem of the 20thhe0th century the problem of the colol line. This problem stops us from u f winning the future. G theutur two quick questions. I know we on have 30 seconds. S what is the answer . It seemstee like were just becoming the gag is getting bigger. And there is no each sideh s listening to each other. Thats right. Tha one thing we have to do ising w actually acknowledge thewledge e problem. Right . And so much of ourf our conversation right now is a co acknowledge. We dont acknowledge thewled the problem, and we continue to pitp one side against the other. He or look, i work for democrats. Emts but this cant be a partisan a i thing. G both republicans and democrats a both on both sides have to say,s you know what, this pitting oneo group against another forotr fo political gain is not how we wi the future. The f real quickly tepp seconds ors less youre ooh polster. Polster got slammed in this election. Ti how do we ever believe polster r again. I dont get the polling wasls off. Off. If you look at where hillaryhery clinton got it was a four way race not a two ray ways.

Turns out this is actually ay a real thing. Ng recent study was conducted to ct fine out when most people movee on to more grown up furniture styles and brands so it foundt f the peak age for ikea shopperspr is 24 years old. O then ikea tends to be veryo popular throughout the late 20se and early 30s. 30s but the love for the builduild yourself furniture starts to sts drop off after age 34. 3 the study found that aftert people out grow ikea, they are,y more likely to shop hospi lose and other stores that tend to target homeowners. Look. Lets be honest. L a lot this is fs inanbeciallyinl driven, too. Absolutely it is. Bsolutit youre going to go where youo fine the best deals. I shopped at ikea well after mye 20s and well after i was 34 was years old. The fact i just bought a mirrorr there a year ago. I mean, sometimes like you lk said what room youre doing orno whatever. Maybe you dont want to spend a towan. Agreeee. But i do like when furnituree comes free assemble. Asse i will admit. A i think as we get older weere have less of tolerance forerce f spending a weekend putting p together one drawer. Therne draw. If i can buy the house h furniture already in it thatsnt the way i would go. The wai wo everything already in there. Eade putting together the furniture without the tools yout really need to put it together. E yes. You know what im saying . Sa . Sadly y. Sad y thats a big nono. One screw thats alwaysne set missing. Who has time to read time rd instructions . Inst okay. Who wants to do. O is that this way, what do wht these numbers really mean . Can i do it without all thesehe numbers . Numbers .

Shes not alone. O next up, weve already said this. Th do you break out the baby talkab even though we dont know why kw people tend to do this,o researchers say the puppiess actually prefer that slow highlh pitched tone filled with so much love and sweetness. Ness that makes people actually research. Huh. Researchers found baby talk k helps infants learn words and wa helps puppies learn common. Ea ive never done the baby talk. Im an anti baby talker. Ke im with you on that. T. Babies, puppies, adults. Evything. G. No, no new york city. No, anti baby talk. What comes along with thatngh especially for because you are only getting nonverbal cues back from therbe puppies. I think what it does, a lot ofd times when you do the baby talkt youre right there. Youre just playing with themyiw holding them close and thatsha what they respond to. To they feel that love nott necessarily what it is thatssar youre saying to them. Ilyo i can be that close and likel an adult. Lt absolutely. Bsol i said this earlier. Li the last puppy i had i wasnt i straight baby talk but a but a little a little. A little more talking like i was younger. As the dog grew older then ii talked to him like i was talkinl to you. Get the paper and bring it back over to me. Exactly. Ctly i cant treat you like anou a adult dog if i dont talk to yoo like an adult dog. D what are you doing . Re youoing everybody is cool. Rybodycool no baby talk. Tal no. I dont have problem with it.

So it is throw back thursday ano this morning do we have a thr10d back te areat forhr you. Ou and were bringing it all to tht present day all week weve beene talking about the story of theoe iconic boy band new edition. Yesterday we sat down with Jesse Collins the executive prosro douser of the bet show. Ho and movie. Actor elijah who plays ricky r bell in the threepart mini zerr rears. Heres what he had to say. Bottom line bobby brown isros bad for business. Ess. Guys like bobby are going to gog ruin everything for you and foro your family. Now, you guys need to take vote. Well hear from elijah inh i just a minute theres preview oi the biopic which follows the groups Humble Beginnings thebe rise to fame and drama inma this morning though we wanted tg get inside scoop from the people who know the story the best. This is Bell Biv Devoe. Ev [ applause ] ricky bell, michael bivens. S. Ron devoo joining us live in the studio. Studio whats up guys. Thank you for having us. Y iou fts good to see you. Eou you have new mike sick out too. O the movie itself you guys to beo a part of this and to be reallyl involved with the executive producers and everything elsein how hard is it to tell your ownn story . Um, we actually started thisi process about 10 years ago. A and so we had to build up to iti and now were at perfect timeim where were able to open up and, you know, air out dirty laundryd so to speak. Sak ron likes to say. Ron likes to we have a great s family over hh with bet network. Show the movie. We had some really Uncomfortable Conversations digging up oldld wounds so to speak. Spe sharing, you know, things that s happened and really getting to the nittygritty. But, i think our fans will loveo it its a good time for us and a our careers and our lives. We didnt grow up in socialocl media area. We kind of slept swept ourweo dirty laundry under the rug at a that time. E. But i think a lot differentnt now. Now our fans are interested andta were excited. Xcited ron let me ask you then since ricky brought it up. Up. How did you decide how much much dirty laundry to share . How too it what gets in, whats left out . Whites piles of it. Of white right, theres 33 years of history as far as new edition is concerned. The great thing about it is issi that we were able to extent thii thing into a mini series, youou know, the people that have come before us whether it was the the tempt teagues or the jackson jan story and other stories that are being told about greatre entertainers one night, twoht, w night or they were on the Silver Screen for two hours at a timers its good we get six hours torso stretch this thing out. Hing out. [ applause ]appl yes. Y. Allow people to see the depth of new edition but there wasutrs definitely some things thatly s rentalled up on theom editing rm floor, you know. At the epp of the day. Michael we tthalked toe ep te executive producer yesterdayay literally they were still still editing two days ago to try to it done. One. Have you seen the finishhe finis product . Do you like the way it came out . You know, sunday i had the t opportunity to watch it with ouh friends and family in boston, and, um, i was just overwhelmedd you know, it was touching. In you know, im laughing. Auing. You know, im saying aww. Aww im going oh, snap, like all ofo the emotions you would get inn the movie that they nailed it. E. Excuse me then the kids we calll them the littles, the way they e portrayed us and embodied us is think, um, makes it special, spl because for the first hour and some change you have to look at us a little bit before we put p out candy girl and thats thes t part that makes the movieie special. I want to get all of your reactions to this. His. But ricky i want to start withtt you, because we mentionedened yesterday we had elijah whoho portrays you in the movie. And we asked him what was it was like to be you basically andalld heres what he had to say. How much input at the membere of the band actually have in hen this product. A lot. So much so. On the executive side i can cutit for that, but the nightmare of having them behindd you every day while you wereouer dancing and singing their lyrics and songs and they would ty w literally pull you to the sidesi and say, hey, that move sightigt there, not cool enough. Nough [ laughter ] so elijah he was sayingaying tongue and cheek it was a and ce nightmare but did he say itsek tough because you guys are legends and here they are tryinn to be you. So how much interaction did youy have with the folks who weretheh playing you and were you reallyl standing behind him the whole time . Time . Absolutely. You know, for me that was probably most challenging and ad being able to just let go ando trust the actorsed to their thing. Because they only had 30 days to learn all these routines andnesd stuff weve been doing for over 30 years. Years. We kind of take it for but theyre going through movess like no, your fingers should be closed. Point it this way that or that way. I was really nervous at firstt s when i first saw them dance. Dce theres no way this is going to happen. [ ughthter ] but im so proud they work so hard on it, man, theyre soreo passionate about it. I im really proud of them. Mike, i think you brashearea gray was portraying you you everybody in the world knowshe from empire w. And he had said you guysuy actually spent a lot of timeim together just so not just the t dancing not just the sinking but i mean getting your live down,n, right . Righ yeah. I just wanted him to make the transition from empire to new edition, and, um, like all ofe o us, we just wanted ourteou mannerisms because we couldntec play the part. W you going seeng s movies and by ops its like raye such and such you like, yo, ie, need to you focus in and reallyl take this serious. Us. Listen to the music. Us you know, i wasnt all that tha great as an beginning dont come out the the gate blazing. Lang let your character build and, a um, i think, um, he did a hell of a job in just because hes on empire, he still had to work because some of the other characters been in movies so moo they have that acting chops anda he had to work. Ork it wasnt nothing given to him. O i know you guys will be coolo enough to stick around for few w more minutes before we let youet go for now, ron, let me ask youu this. When you look back this is given everybody we all lived through you guys the first timet around those of us of our age. Ge now people get a chance to looko back at the younger versions ofi you guys. You gus. Now even when you go back and ba look at old videos do you watcht it like, yeah, thats us or isuo it like who are those young guyg up there doing that . Tt . Sometimes, you know, you wiss you could erase some of the haii dos and some of the outfitsomho that you chose to wear, of chos course, man but its all a partr of the history and the t foundation of what brought us ts this point today, you know f wee didnt make some of thosee of h mistakes, we wouldnt have beenb able to learn in from the the mistakes we made. So, that, you get proud of butf but theres moments later on kind oi in the middle of our careers, ce you know, whether it was videoad like a cool it now, where they made us shave our mustaches and do all these extras ra what are we doing. Youre looking at thoselookit things, man, i wish we had had little bit more control at the h time. Ti. The beauty of it is nos n matter what the video look likek the music is amazing that livesv on.
