A video posted on youtube shows cars spinning in circles performing doughnuts and burnouts as passengers hang out of windows dangerously close to spectators. If that was not enough, at one point a Christmas Tree is set on fire. We are not sure if they let the tree on fire and left it in the middle of the roadway as a distraction for us or if they did it just to be destructive. Reporter when officers arrived, they were met by a hostile crowd. They saw a large amount of vehicles leaving the area and somebody threw a bottle at one of the patrol vehicles.

The nominees for the 92nd annual Academy Awards were revealed. It was a big day for 1917. The year, not the movie. Though the movie too. [ laughter ] 19 of the 20 acting nominees are white people. No women were nominated for best director. Thats fewer minorities than in Donald Trumps cabinet. [ laughter ] the movie cats got shut out. So no cats were even nominated. Actually, universal, the studio that made cats, pulled the movie from oscar contention. Which is always funny. They probably didnt need to do that. [ laughter ] thats like mike pence pulling out of contention for a soul train award. Its unnecessary. Double congratulations to Scarlett Johansson who got her first and second ever nominations today.

Renee zellweger was also nominated for best actress for her role as judy garland in the biopic judy. Which as far as i know does not exist. No one i know has seen that movie. [ laugh
Wmaq meteorologist in the house with us today. As of 12 00, category 4 hurricane, but still only a few miles away in terms of wind speeds from a category 5 still very strong and very dangerous storm. You can see it spinning here right off to the right the path its going to take is westnorthwest and go right in between the bahamas and cuba in very warm water. So i do not see this losing much intensity. I even think we could see it intensify a little bit more as we mover forward today and then it does look to make aim on south florida, as we go into really sunday early morning.

Also along with wind and heavy rainfall, storm surge is going to be a huge problem for spots along the coast, and you can see 5 to 10 feet in regards
The permanent subcommittee on investigations will come to order. Today the subcommittee continues our bipartisan work investigating conditions in prisons, jails, and Detention Centers across the United States. I think the Ranking Member for his cooperation. In july we released findings of corruption, abuse and misconduct in the federal prison system and questioned the now former director of the federal bureau of prisons. Today after a 10 month bipartisan investigation we can reveal that despite a clear charge from congress to determine who is dying in prisons and jails across the country, where they are dying and why they are dying that abutment of justice is failing to do so.
