Route 55 northbound for 322 to 42, only nine minute trip for this morning, i95 southbound at girard avenue. Looking little bit better. It was completely fogged in earlier, so hopefully things will continue to improve. Mike and alex. We can only hope. 6 04 this wednesday, the president igniting fire storm as you know by now in the wake every the deadly clash in charlottesville. President doubles down on his original comments about the violence in virginia. I think this blame on both sides. You look, you look at both sides. I think there is blame on both sides. And ive no doubt about it, and you dont have any doubt about it, either. Very, very important process to me. Reaction has been quick, and all night long into this morning, thomas, what do you have . We know the president pointing the fink nerve many directions not only White Nationalist groups, but counter protesters as well as you heard his latest comments coming during News Conference at trump towers. Those who attends the conference spec to go hear about infrastructure, things quickly became heated when reporters asked the president to clarify previous comments, and he made about the groups involved in the deadly demonstrations in charlottesville over the weekend. Take a listen. Excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right . Do they have any assemblance of guilt . Mr. Trump. Let me ask you this. What about the fact they came charging, that they came charge withing clubs in their hands swinging clubs . Do they have any problem . I think they do. So, as far as im concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Not all of those people were White Supremecists, by any stretch. Those people were also there, because they wanted to protest the taking down after statue robert e lee. Was George Washington a slave owner . So will George Washington now lose his status . How about Thomas Jefferson . What do you think of Thomas Jefferson . Youre changing history. There was immediate criticism of the president s statements including members of his own party in fact topped republicans, House Speaker paul ryan tweeting this we must be clear White Supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. Senator marco rubio also tweeting this. The White Supremacy groups will see being assigned only 50 of blame, as a win, we cannot allow this old evil to be resurrected. The president s News Conference also sparking reaction from former kkk leader david duke praising remarks saying thank you President Trump for your honesty and courage to tell the truth. Critics are calling out the president saying he compared White Supremacy to preaching hate to counter protesters speaking out against racism and bigotry, now some republicans, mike and alex, are concerned that it will be very difficult for President Trump to get his agenda back on track. Yes, a lot of people wanted certain republicans to mention the president s name in their responses in their tweets. Some of them did, no question about. That will all right, thomas, thank you. 6 07. Controversy over the nations confederate statues is drawing attention to monuments all over the count rip including philadelpia. Specifically, the big mural, and the statue of course, that we drive by every day. So the mural on the i at yan market, statue at thomas payne plaza. You can tag of course the former mayor of philadelphia frank rizzo. So the calls are getting louder now, to take down the statue, and jenny joyce is in center city at thomas payne plaza where there is the rizzo statue. Jenny . Yes, good morning, mike, alex, so the discussion over whether or not to remove the rizzo statue has been going on for years, but in light of charlottesville, once again, thrust into the spotlight of city discussions, this time, lead by councilwoman helen gym. She has view of the statue from her fifth floor office, right across the street at city hall. She thinks the statue of the the former phillie mayor and Police Commissioner is outdated, and sends the wrong message. Frank rizzo served as Police Commissioner, and during his time in offers bowls dollars tough on crime attitude. He had a turbulent relationship with the africanamerican, and lgbt communities, in todays world, councilwoman gym, and others, feel it is time to move on from that message. Boldly sent from a prime public location, such as thomas payne plaza. Our Chris Oconnell also talked to rizzos grandson, who point out, you cant rewrite history. And says his grandfather did a lot of good for this city. Gave everybody their moment. He spoke with everyone. I mean, people to this day come up to me on almost daily basis, and they try, they share an experience they had with him or story, and they really light up when they tell me those stories. It is a big problem, when you have someone like frank rizzo, someone who campaigned on vote who promised to become a guardian of white rights, that this is not this is not this is not philadelphia story today. Now, in addition to the 9foot statue here at thomas payne plaza, there is a 3story mural of rizzo in south phillys italian market neighborhood. Officials say perhaps it is time to have a conversation about whether this mural should stay, or be replaced, by something else, they also say, rizzo is the most vandalized mural on display, mayor jim kenney agrees. Now, as a good time to have a conversation about the future of this monument. Mike and alex. Oh, i can tell this, jenny, a lot of people already having this conversation, once this news got out. Specially, if you go on facebook. I just want to read, too, thank you, jenny, one from dana says. When did everyone become so sensitive and disrespectful . Since when do people decide a person isnt good enough to have a statue and take it down . These stat sioux are part of history. And then claiborne says yes, he was one of the most racist people to ever run this city. Take it down. So, if you have any comments, you know, want to weigh in go to my fax book page, alex holley, because a lot of people have strong opinions about this. Wednesday used to be called hump day. I think our goal today is to make everybody mad. That is the goal of good day philadelphia. I mean, it is not on us. Not us. Just whats happening out in the city and the country. So okay, im not going to get off twitter today. But let me have it. Let us have it. What . We wont satisfy anybody today. Uhhuh . You got the trump supporters. Trump, people against trump. You got the rizzo supporters, people against rizzo. Then we come back from the break, we will talk about medical marijuana, a dispensary being put in to your neighborhood. Some people say not, no, not in my neighborhood. Some people are upset on both sides about that. It is make you mad day.

President trump, President Trump is hoping his administration can return to his domestic agenda today. Good luck with that. But he keeps getting drawn back into this controversy out of virginia. His latest remarks about the charlottesville riots have inflamed critics. The president speaking on the tragedy for the third time yesterday. This was during a News Conference, that was supposed to be about transportation, but then he got asked some questions. And then this happened. I didnt wait long. I didnt wait long. I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what i said was correct. Not make a quick statement. The statement i made on saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you dont make statements that direct unless you know the fact. So President Trump, he used the moment to double down on his original comments about the attack which called out both sides of the process. Remember, protests, he said many sides. That was the thing a lot of people were upset by. He came back out, mentioned by name the different groups, and then yesterday, after being asked some questions, he said that. He said many of those protests against White Supremecist was also violent, and suggest demands to remove confederate monument, they go too far. Excuse me. Excuse me. You have some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine on both sides, excuse me, excuse me, i saw the same pictures as you d you had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue, and renaming of a bar from robert e lee to another name. I dont know. Critics are calling out the president , saying he compared White Supremecist, who were preaching hate, to counter protesters, who were speaking out against racism and bigotry. And all of the scrutiny over confederate statues going across the nation right now also drawing attention to a monument thats here in philadelphia. All right. Youre really riled up about this, on twitter today. There is a growing push now, not new, push to remove a statue and tribute to former mayor frank rizzo. So, jenny is on this one at thomas payne plaza. Jenny . Good morning, mike and alex. So this 9foot tall bronze statue of frank rizzo has been promptly displayed at the plaza since 1998. But nearly 20 years later, many are wondering if it is time to move on. The monument became a target of vandalism last night with eggs, and trump signs, the vandalism is nothing new, riz hoe rocky relationship with both the africanamerican, and lgbt communities with each major social justice event in our country, the debate over whether to remove the monument, of a controversial city leader is renewed. This time, councilwoman helen gym is leading the discussion saying that rizzo is symbolic, with racial tension, and the city of philadelphia is better than that. Our Chris Oconnell also talked to rizzos grandson, yesterday. He defends his grandfathers work in the city saying there are a lot of people who love him. And many, who were inspired by him. And that this statue should stay. I understanded frank rizzo means a lot of Different Things to a lot of different people. There is no question that for many, many philadelphians. s symbol of racism, racist past, and we are working very hard to try to move beyond. My grandfather has a lot of people, white, black, everything, so im sure there will be a lot of people that arent happen which. That will they take that personally. They know my grandfather gave his life to the sit. Philadelphia was my grandfathers life. I dont think anyone will dispute that. Mayor jim kenney agrees good time to have a conversation about the statue, saying, quote, we need to figure out the proper forum for that conversation, and in a serious structured way, but now is the right time. So, what will happen to statue if it is removed . It could possibly go into a museum. But definitely the conversation needs to happen first. So, the conversation happening right now on twitter. Thats for sure. Also on facebook. Thank you, jenny, i want to read some of these. You guys are weighing in on this. Twitter, cody says let me say this, it is not erasing history, for example, it is choosing not to honor a major policemen nish this country to erase the hate. Then on facebook, from glenn, he says, he was a man who loved his city. He rose from the ranks from Patrol Officer to Police Commissioner then mayor. He lived for philly. He was a man of his time to re val him in 2017 and not remember what the city was like back in the day is totally wrong. So if you also have more comment, the conversation on my Facebook Page alex holley. Com. We asked councilwoman gym to come in, unfortunately she was unavailable this morning, but hoping to get her in maybe tomorrow. Yes, how about tomorrow, way in, we can use some of your comments in debate tomorrow. All right, pennsylvania; moving to put medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state. Well, there is one local neighborhood here in philly. That would make it local. They say no, not in our neighborhood. Well take to you that neighborhood in just a bit. Famous selfie, remember this from the oscars . Oh, well it is on the list of the most like and re tweeted tweets of all time. But it is not number one. We will tell how is now at the top of the list, and yes, it involves politics. Or politician, anyway. So i want my glasses to be unique. My girlfriend loves artists. And i need a conservative pair, cuz her parents hate artists get up to 40 off a second pair of glasses. Schedule your eye exam at pearlevision. Com. 643 well make you mad today on good day philadelphia. Already happening on social media, debates are going. Just the messengers. They dont want pot near their kids. Neighbors are fighting a medical Marijuana Dispensary in east mt. Airy. And when we say near the kids, lauren, because how close is proposed site to nearby childcare center. Yes, thats right. A day care center, just nearby this place, theyre not going fight. This did down without a you know why . Theyre trying to put a medical Marijuana Dispensary right here on stenton avenue in the middle of their mt. Airy neighborhood. Yesterday, was proof of their passion, at a zoning meeting in philadelphia, voices raised, tempers flared, people did not hold back their reservations, about why this facility was just not a good idea for their backyards, three hours later the meeting ended, and both sides decided theyll be back on september 19th. Clergy, council, community members, all say they were left in the dark during the application process, to open this dispensary without considering the homes and lives that will be impacted. Reps from the company admit, they were not good with hundred case, but, they assure People Living here, they will be good neighbors, if they are allowed to open, in january, as scheduled. They did not come to the Immediate Community to talk to us. I believe theyve taken us absolutely for granted. Absolutely. Why didnt you speak to the people that live around in the neighborhood . I dont want it here. No, i dont. As you can see, you know, our neighborhoods, nice and peaceful. You know, we have children here. You know, our way of life will change, as we know it. And not for the better. Not for the better. It will be for the worse. Our facility will be extremely secure, so we hear the concerns of the community about previous crime rates. We believe that we will make the community more secure than it is now. We believe that we will create a lot of high paying jobs in the community. Well, opponents, not buying what theyre selling, also not waiting until september to fight back. Theyll gather here today, at 11 00 a. M. For a press conference. Theyre hoping to send a message to the state that this is going to bring more traffic, more trouble, more crimes and more problems to their quiet community, mike and alex . Now, theyre justice fencing medical marijuana, right . Correct. Correct. Okay. But some people here in the neighborhood are saying it is going to cause more trouble because it is a cash business, theyll be more robberies possibly outside of this dispensary, or people will be able to go in, get it, then sell it in the neighborhood illegally. So there are too many unknowns at this point, they dont think the neighborhood here is the place for it. So they dont see it as a drug store or liquor store or something like, that okay. Correct, correct. I got you. The conversation certainly is going to continue, because we do have councilwoman sherell parker coming in as well as the president of the dispensary. Well talk with both of them to see their thoughts specially after the meeting yesterday. 6 46 exactly. We will shake it up now. We will do traffic first. Oh,. And then wetter. Slow down everybody. Youre really keeping me on my toast this morning. We do have emergency work going on, a. C. Expressway westbound, right at route 73, the right lane is block there. Could slot you down little bit this morning. Taking a look now, route 42 freeway northbound near 295, in new jersey, on the lefthand side, thats coming toward philadelphia, and there is still a manhole cover somewhere on that roadway. And until they get it out of there, we have this huge back up there. So, it is very jammed there. Lets look at i59 at cottman avenue. Because last time we looked it was pretty foggy, still quite hazy there. Your taillights are southbound, on the left, the headlights are moving northbound, this morning, so, still plenty of fog ou out there to slow you down. We will be back with the forecast in 15 seconds. It is me again. Dense fog advisory continues. So the weather story and the traffic story, the headline, pretty much the same. So this stays in effect for couple of more hours. Weve got plenty every fog out there this morning. We have zero visibility in millville, new jersey, so careful if you travel along route 55 down there. Only 4 miles at Philadelphia International airport, so much less to the north of us, lots and lots of fog out there this morning. Now another issue, you have, because of hurricane gert, and were glad it is well off shore, yep, ger. It is category one with 90mile per hour winds, but close enough to the east coast, that it is causing some problems with rough surf, and today there is a high risk of dangerous rip currents. So, cannot emphasize enough, only swim where and when lifeguards are on duty today. Be careful. 72 degrees in philadelphia right now. Sixty in mount pocono. Seventytwo in wildwood. But, were going to warm up today. Much warmer than yesterday. With sunshine, high of 88 degrees, eight a tomorrow. Very humid. Humidity comes back. If you are going to the eagles game, may get rained on little bit. Because rain at night into friday, may be even into saturday morning, but the rest of the weekends, looks warm, hopefully wonderful, so far so good for the eclipse. Were specking mix every sunday and clouds, but so far, not enough to obscure your view of the total eclipse of the sun. Total eclipse of the sun. 80 , right, totality . 79. 9. Thats what derek pits would say. True, hes very precise. We like precise. Oh, lets be precise. Are you looking at twitter . People are just trying to give us some jokes. It is national joke day. On this day of all of this controversy. Oh. Steve writes this some kids came to the door for a donation for the local pool. I gave them a glass of water. One glass at a time. Is john in the audio boot. Yes. From that, talk about this tweet. Because, we were mentioning that most re tweeted or liked tweets of all time, now there is a new one. And it is a tweet by former president barack obama, and it has become the most like tweet of all time. I saw this one. So the 44th president tweeted after charlottesville, no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his backgrounds or his religion. Okay. And the twitter vest has like it more than 2. 7 million times. So thats now the most like tweet of all time . Uhhuh. Fifth most re tweeted of all time. Well, thats the fifth most re tweeted. What sells on the list . Karen, you have the list for us . I do have the list for you, number four right now, the most re tweeted ones, comes from ariana grande, you can imagine why this was in the wake of the horrible bomb that happened in manchester. And she wrote, broken from the bottom of my heart. I am so, so sorry. I dont have words. That was re tweeted more than 1. 1 million times. Number three comes from one of the direction guys. Lewis tomlinson, he re tweeted to his former bands mate, harry styles in 2011, always in my heart. Yours sincerely, lewis. That will was re tweeted more than 2. 5 million times. Number two, ellen, we remember this one, we did it, too, did the group selfie thing. This was during the oscars, that one had 3. 4 million re tweet. And then Carter Wilkerson had more than 2,000 re tweets than ellen, he gets the number one slot for the free Chicken Nuggets for a year, i think everybody helped him re tweet when he said help me please. A man needs his nuggs. Kind of funny. So tell me the one you got that you took part in and re tweeted. The Chicken Nuggets one was number two . We wanted him to have his Chicken Nuggets, man. Odd. We should mention the barack obama tweet, Nelson Mandela quote. Course. Just in case. So should Nelson Mandela, the late nelson, should he get credit . True, they were his words. Dont know. Important words. They are. Thank i, karen. I would like to see movies, here, unlimited movies. Unlimited trips to the amc theater, or whatever theater chain you want to go to.

I think about you every night your love, youre there at home hello all right. It is 6 56. Thanks, kneel. Now, lets get back to the controversy. Because this is, were going to make you mad. Good day philadelphia. All of our stories have some kinds of controversy to it. Jenny, now it is your turn. Reporter thank you, for. That yes, the city plans to discuss the future of the 9foot tall frank rizzo statue. It has been here across from city hall since the 90s, but many feel it symbolizes racial tension. We will be right back. Ive condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neonazis. Believe me. Not all of those people were White Supremecists. Defiant, defending his response to the violence in charlottesville. How he is blaming both sides, dividing some in his own raging over rizzo in the wake of the violence over confederate statues, some are taking aim at the frank rizzo statue here in philadelphia. And we have a dispensary debate. I believe they have taken us absolutely for granted. Why resident in one local community are pushing back, over a move to have a medical Marijuana Dispensary, located on their block. Use the fox29goodday. Hey, good day everybody, it is all august the 16, sue serio,
