Anticipating is building for tomorrows congressional testimony from now fired fbi director james comey. The Trump Administration dealing with rising tensions within it own ranks, another hearing today, could put some Top Administration officials on the spot. Doug luzader, sort that out for us. Mike and alex good morning. Well, today at least, the Senate Intelligence committee will be hearing for some top officials, from the fbi, the justice department, the nsa, the director of National Intelligence, will be here, and in a lot of ways this is kind of warm up act for tomorrows big event, with comey. This will be an extraordinary few days here on capitol hill. Former fb i am director james comey, preparing for tomorrows big event.

Pressure from the president to back off the investigation into Russian Election meddling, and possible ties with the trump campaign. I wish them luck. Thank you everybody. The president with pleasantry for comey, but could be some issues today, with his director of National Intelligence dan coat, testifies before senate committee. Washington post report that coats told associate the president asked him to help tap down investigation noose former National Security advisor mike flynn. And possible connections to russia. I want to know a little bit more about un mask. At the same time will fresh the issue, who in the Obama Administration may have fed information to the media about possible links to russia. And then there is u. S. Attorney general, jeff sessions. A long time trump loyalist, but reports he spoke of resigning, recused himself. White house Spokesman Sean Spicer wouldnt say whether the president still has confidence in sessions. Im answering a question, which is ive not had that discussion with him. I said ive not had a discussion with him. If i hadnt had discussion, can i not speak about it. And look, that may be true, entirely possible that spicer has not had a conversation with the president about sessions. But, generally, that kind of a question is a no bran err, do they have confidence, of course he does, the fact spicer wouldnt say that shows you how imperil that relationship may be, a important relationship between sessions, and the president. Oh, my god. This is going to be one every the most watched congressional hearings. I said you got to go back to clarence thomas, some say all the way back to watergate watch do you think about that . Well, the titanic hearings. You never know, on the other hands there is may be a disappoint, cents a well, comey may not deliver the goods either side is looking for. We dont know what he will say. But a lot of people are anxious to hear. All right. Thank you, doug. Homeowners across our area are bracing for a possible hit to the wallet. The Trump Administration proposed to wipe out deductions for local and state property taxes. So the issue was brought up in yesterdays White House Press briefing. Skyping into the briefing to ask a question about that. So check it out. So the question what do you say to the folks worried they may take major hit . Welshing david, thank you for asking. I if i if you look at the principals outlined by comey and talks about the tax reform agenda, one of the principals increase the standard deductions, so for middle income family talk double that to 24,000. We dont we estimate about 95 of the folks that file now would not take individual deductions because of the increase, the large increase, that would happen. Most middle income americans would actually save more under the president s plan, because of the large increase that would exist with respect to the standard deduction. I like sean spicer calling our dave kinchen, he always calls him, david, thank you for the question, david. Thats the proper way. White house says deduction for mortgage interest and charitable deductions still around for individual taxpayers. 7 14. Trending this morning eight Year Old Girl on a soccer team make it to the final rounds after tournament but then they never got to play. Her soccer team was disqualified, they say because of her hair. Thomas . Simply put, they thought she was a boy, mike anal he can, eight year old millie hernandez, star soccer player, actually place with 11 Year Old Girls. They were set toly with the team in the tournament in omaha over the weekend, but they were eliminated because organizers thought she was a boy. The Soccer Association says it was actually over a missprint on the roster, where she was listed as a boy, her coach, parent, tried to they will them she a girl, even tried to show them insurance papers. They didnt listen. I was a boy. And my brother said it is only because of the looks. Like when they look at me, they think i am a boy, but i am really not. The president of the tournament, said, that, we made our decision and we wouldnt change it. Even and we had two we had our insurance card, then we had pain fresh when show was five. It said female on both of them. Despite that they were told, you know, games over, youre disqualified. Mili getting outpouring from the social media from some of the business players in the worldment check out this video from abby. Hey, mili hernandez, abby here, listen, ive heard the news, and all i can say is that your courage to want to stand up and talk about it and your bravery is going to help that next kid thats put in the similar situation. Youre inspiring. Getting thousands of comment by the way, nebraska state Soccer Association said it would never disqualify a player from participating on a girls team based on appearance. The association said it suspended sanctioning of the tournament pending detailed review. This is going to end well formyl m. Li. Certainly not officials involved in make that de us. What detailed meeting would you need . She is a girl. Let her play. They didnt believe it. The fact that they didnt believe it. Well, how hard how about contact her doctor . Or her parent . But the fact they even had to go that far though this. Well, no. Thats humiliating for the little girl. It is. I love abi said something though and supported her. Yes. Thank you for that. 7 16. Well, trouble seems to be brewing in the clubhouse for the phillies, involving hall of famer mike schmidt. I think it is resolved. I really think this is resolved. People are still talking about t were still talking about t. But, well, mike schmidt made some questionable comments on the radio yesterday. He apologized already, talked to the philly in question. Karen, what else do you want . Blood. No. Karen . No, no, just kidding. One of these things where sometimes you just use your choice of words and what happened. It was on a radio show yesterday, sport radio. So mike schmidt take making controversial comment about her err a he was asked if he could work around the phillies outfielder and when you listen to his answer keep in mind herrera is a Spanish Speaking player from venezuela. My honest answer to that would be no because after couple of things. First of all, it is a language barrier. And, you know, because of that, i think he cant be a guy that would, you know, sort every sit in a circle with four, five american players, or try to learn about the game, or discuss the inner working of the game. So then mike schmidt put out a statement. Im very sorry that this misrepresentation of my answer occurred and may have offended someone. I assure everyone i had no intention of that. Hes a dynamo on the field, and as he becomes more comfortable with the language, his leadership skills limb proof. No doubt he will be a centerpiece in the phillies future. And theyre just so many the phillies lockerroom and throughout Major League Baseball overall. So, hes made a lot of comments with that. But i think you just show what you will show on the feel, people just like you because of what you bring to the game. Yes. Do you know baseball language . He seems to know baseball language. Karen . 40 of the team. Spanish speaking countr. Okay, karen, thank you. Well, a little bit of history, you know, thats all we got. I mean, the phillies have won four in a row. By the way, i was going to tell you why, it has to do with me. You know, everything comes back to me. Yes, we know. You want me to explain this later . It comes back to me. You want to wait. I need papers from the other day. Would you do die gaps oring . Sunday sport page from the inky, it all traces back to that. Ill try to explain later. But, you know, i love history, baseball history. Of course you. Know . It was made last night. Reds hitter, scooter, great name, scooter had a great game. He hit four homeruns in one game, had ten runs batted in scooter the 17th player to hit four homeruns in one game, ties him for the major league record. Scooter is not known for being a power hitter, only had three before the game last night and he first of all he gets up there, his first at bat he hits a singer, second at bat, grandslam. Homerun. Homerun. Homerun. The reds won 13 to one. And that is scooter. Scooter jennette, who did that last night, is named after a muppet charger. Are we sure hes name after a muppet charger . His parents said in a article we named our kid. Now, of all things that you would name your son after, scooter seems like it would be way down the list. Scoot is her kind of cute. Well, thats true. By the way, mike schmidt hit four homeruns in a game, that was april 17th, 1976 at Wrigley Field in chicago, sue. And whatever you did, to cause our winning streak right now, please keep doing it. Ill keep it up. Remember the days of phillies where the baby blue . Yes. Back in the 70s. Look at all of that cloud cover out there. The jersey shore this morning, cool and cloudy today, few breaks of sunshine. But back and in full force, that sunshine tomorrow, and so much so that well have a heatwave by next week. Kind of crazy, but thats the deal. We have system to the south. Thats just close enough, that clouds are spreading northward. And we get a little bit of drizzle every once in a while down there in delaware. And thats the way it will be for the rest of the morning. But it is a mix of mostly cloudy skies and little bit every sunday shine the rest of the day. 68 degrees. Seventyfive tomorrow. Eighty on friday, 83 on saturday. And then, as we head into the week, second part of the weekends, we could be talking about our second heatwave of 2017. Also dont forget about 101. 1 more fm.
