Again High Pressure and kicking those winds out of the south here for the next couple of days is going to allow temperatures to warm up so mid to upper 50s later today. And then temperatures will be near 60 by tomorrow with nice forecast here the next couple of days. First day of winter on thursday. Little cooler by thursday with some rain showers next weekend. Well talk about that, too. All right erin, your turn. How are roads this morning. Right now we have a water main break. One lane getting by in either direction. This is 410 out between riggs road and chillum manor. Water main break. One westbound lane gets by one eastbound lane. Theyre sharing that side of the road.

The social media site will start enforcing new rules tomorrow that will suspends accounts affiliated with hate groups. Details ahead in this mornings business beat. A big week on the hill with tax reform. Plus twitter will begin enforcing new rules tomorrow that target hate groups. First though a quick check of the markets. Joining us is hillary vaughn. All the way from l. A. Good to talk to you today. Reporter good to see you. Big day on wall street closing out on friday closing at 24,651. Getting close to the next 25,000 milestone. The nasdaq added 80 points. S p 500 up 23 closing at 2675. Soak. Meantime the nation is bracing for what could happen with tax be on the president s desk by the weekend. Reporter right. He promised big tax plan, big tax cut for christmas and congress is trying to get that for him. Were expecting the house to vote on this on tuesday and if it can get through the senate and land on the president s desk by friday then he can follow through on that promise but we did get the final text of the tax plan late on friday. So, if you missed it heres some of the new items for single filers. Theres seven tax brackets total eliminates the personal deduction also [inaudible] it caps state and local Tax Deductions to under 10,000 but it does expand the Child Tax Credit to 2,000 and it also eliminates the individual mandate for Health Insurance penalized if you dont want to buy it. Thats probably the more controversial part of the plan as well. So, it will be interesting to see how this goes through but Congress Says they are looking for a big win and they think they wont have a problem passing this. Last but not least twitter doing something to stop all the hate thats out hillary . Reporter its a big crackdown on hate speech but youre right how do you implement this . Pretty tricky. They have two new rules. If your account is used to abuse badger bully people or promote violence against a person theyll suspend your account. If your account is associated with what they perceive to be a hate group, someone that promotes violence against an individual or a group then you can also be suspended but how do you go about implementing this . Right. Reporter its really a judgment call by twitter to decide what they think is okay and what isnt and theres going to be a lot of controversy mark my words when someones account gets taken down or someones account doesnt get taken down and then twitter is left to answer all these questions of why. So, its a good thing but a lot of people wanted to see this crackdown or them to do something about it but it is putting twitter in some tricky waters of having to explain and just if i who is be on line or who is suspended. Youre so subjective. Youre right. I will brace myself. You know what, hillary i do like the fact that they are trying to do something, you know what i mean . I do like that. Reporter right. So, well see what happens. Reporter right. And thats a lot of people have been asking them for awhile to step up and do something, so at least they are stepping up to the plate but well see how they handle it from here. While theyre at it, an edit function would be good. Okay, im done. Thats my rant. I hate how you cant edit. You have to take the whole thing down you have six likes or posts. Hillary ill see you later. I feel you on that one. Have a good one. Can they just not i second your and then you feel jokey because at first its spontaneous. Then it never goes away. Its a and somebody will tell you you spelled, you know, that wrong. Right. No a apostrophe. Uhhuh. So you got to take it down. Okay, im done. Tell us how you feel. Im done, yeah. 41 now in washing mid50s, maybe upper 50s in a few spots. Its actually great. Well be nice and quiet here for the next couple days so if you want to do last minute shopping out and about town why do you say last minute . Well, we getting pretty close to last minute, arent we.

When santa asks for help picking who is naughty or ni nice. He asks allison and myself. Epic photoshop. Who is that allison and tucker . Is that your hands picking the naughty people. I suppose so. So its erin and steve. Are me and steve naughty. Tuckers hand is right over your head which means youre naughty and its between steve and h both or one or the other. We were in that picture pointing at a little tiny amount of snow that tucker was talking about. Oh, right, sure you were. Good job allison. Morning meme. Send them in. Thanks everybody. I needd that. All right. Okay. So, lets talk i think about whats coming up later today. All right. Well, why not . No, lets talk about the fox beat. Lets do that instead. Time now to do some entertainment headlines. All righty kevin mccarthy, where in the world is kevin mccarthy. Hes joining us dark and early out there in l. A. This morning at 3 51. We appreciate you, kev. Good morning. Hey, good morning, allison and wisdom. Great to be on with you this morning. Obviously, yeah, im out here for a very interesting film this time around. Its called all the money in the world. To catch our viewers up, i know everyone has heard the story but the concept of this movie is by j. Paul getty his grandson was kidnapped he ransomit was a true story. Initially when this film was originally shot kevin spacey played the role of j. Paul getty. Now at abou about the end of october the spacey sexual allegations came out and in early november the director sir ridley scott said you know what, we are not going to release this film with kevin spacey in it and essentially affect everyone who had worked on this movie. So they went and replaced spacey with Christopher Plummer and Christopher Plummer reshot all of Kevin Spaceys scenes between the dates of november 20th to november 29th and they are still going to make their december release date. Which is unprecedented. Id never heard of anything like that before in my life. So, today im sitting down with Christopher Plummer and ridley scott and Mark Wahlberg and machine williams to discuss how the heck it was even possible to replace spacey and put plumber int wahlberg and Michelle Williams were all for it. They came in and did the reshoots. Im fascinated about how they were able to build that momentum up again, get back into that emotional place. When filming these scenes i wonder if plummer redid every scene spacey did in the film. Its an interesting story and i know that i read somewhere on friday that plummer actually did not rewatch spaceys scenes from the original cut of the movie cause he wanted to make the performances his own but im curious now that hes filmed it and the movie is done, its coming out on Christmas Day will he kind of go back out of curiosity and ask sir ridley scott if he can watch the original cut of the movie. What a story, right . How is that possible . First of all, plummer if im not mistaken is 88 years old, ridley scott is in his 80s and im not saying 80 is an age where you cant do these things but it is just really, really wanted to do this and get the movie out and respect the story and everybody else who was involved and the beauty of this is it sends a message to anyone in hollywood who is going to be doing these awful things that youre replaceable and i think its kind of cool, so. All right. Im interested in the movie. I did the research on the story. Im fascinate by the real life story. Lets talk about the box office. And the success of the latest star wars movie. Real fast second largest opening in history of cinema domestically, 220 million. The force awakens did 247 so it is about 27 million less than the opening of the force awakens. Still a very big amount of money. 450 Million Worldwide at the box office. The force awakens did 5,529,000,000. I will say the new last jedi film has not opened in china yet. It opens china on january 5th. Quick trivia question. Do you know what the largest Worldwide Box Office opening of all time is . What movie has that title . What is it . Do you know. The exorcist. The avengers. No. No. The largest opening movie of all Time WorldwideOpening Weekend is the fate of the furious fast and furious eight. 541 Million Worldwide and you got to compare that to other films but like, you know, 529 million was the force awakens but 541 for the eighth fast and furious film which is crazy. That is so crazy. I love to see the look of shock and disgust on my face after the answer, kev. Youre like, no, wait a minute. Do you hear what im saying . Got you. Just trying to throw a movie out there. If they released the exorcist in imax i cant imagine it in imax 3d. Its a little too much. I know we got to goa. I saw star wars. Ill tweet you about what i thought. I didnt love it. I liked it. Didnt love it. Thanks, kev. Tucker good morning. See you guys.
