Thanks, doug. This is a live look at the white house. Things are getting festive there as well. First Lady Michelle obama and her daughters greeted the crews as they delivered the White House Christmas tree. Its a douglass fir from pennsylvania. Mrs. Obama said it will be decorated with pictures of military homecomings. No word on the cause of a power outage that has hundreds of people in the dark. More than 500 pepco customers without power. Most are concentrated in d. C. S southeast and southwest quadrants. Pepco isnt sure what caused the outages, but power should be restored by 7 00. Crews are working to repair a water main that broke. The 12inch main burst in rockville. It created a mess in the road. We are told more than 40 customers have been without Water Service for several hours now including the Animal Shelter. They are hoping to have the water tuned back on shortly. As we cover Prince Georges County, traffic is back to normal where a water main break caused a sinkhole that s

The academy has the leeway to nominate five to ten pictures, they nominated ten movies, amare r amore. Lincoln, Silver Linings playbook. Zero dark thirty. The best actor category, a strong category but a big snub it seems in this category.

Im actually a modest person. Very modest. Its true. In fact, many people tell me that modesty is perhaps my best quality. I think that was the moment to say, wrong. Well, guess what. It turned ugly as donald trump misread the room and the laughter turned to boos. Hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the watergate commission. And doubling down. Meanwhile, donald trump refusing to say hell accept the results of the election. I will totally accept the results of this great and historic president ial election if i win. I thought that was the best joke of the day. Plus a onetwo punch from the obamas. President obama and the first lady on the trail. As the president not only goes after trump but marco rubio, too. Marco seems to just care about hanging on to his job. We begin today with the awkwardness, to put it best, at the Al Smith Dinner where every four years, the president ial candidates come together to tell jokes all for catholic charities. There were a lot of good jokes, before

Seeking redemption for the firing of james comey. They plotted to destroy your elected president. According to this report the friday New York Times anonymous sources, several top fbi officials questioned whether or not President Trump was working directly for russia. They did this without a single shred of evidence. Zero probable cause, zero proof of any collusion. It was a witch hunt. The president has been right from day 1. They opened an investigation into whether or not russia directed the president to fire their beloved hater james comey despite comeys testimony there was no evidence of collusion. For 9 mongst they were looking into this and trump was not the target of this investigation. Even comey the trump hater admitted that the president could fire him for any reason.
