President donald trump trying to move forward with his agenda today. The white house is hoping to rebound from last weeks failed push to replace obamacare. Joining us with more on this is doug luzader. Doug, there will be a lot of people playing monday morning quarterback im suspecting today if not beyond today. Reporter yeah, look, you know, a lot happened last week. The president is certainly trying to move beyond that failure on healthcare and repealing and replacing obamacare that went down in flames on friday. At the same time, he and his fellow republicans will have to heal some fissures within their own party. President trump is no doubt hoping that today monday brings some renewal. For starters hell announce his soninlaw Jared Kushner will lead an effort to bring business sensibilities to government. We came up short. Reporter but it will be hard to skip past what happened last week. White House Speaker paul ryan had to in this case plans to because of a lack of republican support in the house. And white house chief of staff Reince Priebus promising this is not the end of healthcare reform. The president has also said that when obamacare does ultimately explode, which it will, we are going to be prepared to lead again and if democrats come on board with a plan down the road, wheel well come that. Reporter that idea of working with democrats is also something of a threat to the most conservative republicans in the house, the Freedom Caucus who refused to back the president s plan. And trump himself unleashed on twitter democrats are smiling in d. C. He wrote that the Freedom Caucus with the help of club for growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and obamacare. And still ahead for congress, a looming deadline next month to stave off a possible government funding shutdown. And the president would like to move forward on a hugely complicated issue tax reform. And he may be looking for democratic support there too. We could work with them but i dont think theyre going to repeat the same mistake they made on trump care with tax reform. Reporter but we talk about how difficult healthcare is as an issue. Tax reform aint exactly a cake walk. Theres a reason this hasnt been done in about 30 years or so. There are so many different competing interests involved in reforming the tax code. Its going to be a heavy lift. Maureen and ally so and. Indeed it will be. Well be talking more about the obamacare and what happened with that coming up later in this half hour. Thank you doug luzader.

And then for the rest of your monday morning commute look at all of that red and the outer loop jams from 95 over to connecticut avenue with a 15 and minute delay. 270 southbound had two earlier crashes by Montrose Road and montgomery avenue. Because of that youre in for an hour delay from that 70 to the spur. More traffic in a few. Back to you guys. Thanks erin. 7 09 is the time. Checking our other top stories a vigil is set for ton into it to honor a 15yearold boy gunned down saturday night in landover. The boys name is dennis taylor. Police say the shooting was not random but they havent given out any information about the suspects in the case. This morning were waiting to learn the identity of a man shot and killed at an apartment complex in college park. Police say the victim died and another man was injured in a fight yesterday afternoon inside the camden in college park can on milestone way. Its unclear weather other people were involved in fight. Investigators have not yet said anything about suspects. To the district now where the search for a killer continues. Police have released surveillance tape and still photos of a person of interest wanted in the deadly of a woman in and northeast on last week. Now, police want you to take a good look at this man. Investigators want to talk to him about the death of Corrina Mehiel of North Carolina. Mehiels body was found on tuesday afternoon inside of a home on 14th street. Investigators say the person captured on surveillance tape may have been driving her car. That car went missing but it was later found. Detectives also say that person they and want to speak with visited places in laurel and beltsville after the murder. 7 10 now. The number of missing africanamerican teenagers in the district continues to grab National Headlines. While d. C. Police insist the number of those missing is not skyrocketing, they continue to warn of an accurate inaccurate information circulating on the internet about these cases. Meanwhile mayor bowser is building on the missing children initiatives. She announced last friday. Today shes focusing and turning her focus to improving the ac academic outcome for young africanamerican women. Bob whats going onism i think theres still confusion if this is a story or not. But first of all i will say i mean if you have a child thats missing even if shes a run away the fear you have for her safety is real, very real but in terms of this being a new epidemic, with a mysterious rash of girls from the district going missing, the Mayors Office and d. C. Police say that is simply not the case but look at some of the stuff circulating on social media. Theres a page out there that says 14 girls have gone missing in one 24hour period p you may notice the photo on the left thats relisha rudd. Shes been missing for three years. A case that has haunted this region and since 20s 14 not just in the past 24 hours and celebrities have been helping to spread the narrative. Stars of the fox series empire and others with huge social media following are retweeting about these with the missing d. C. Girls. The district government is announcing a sixpoint inin issue sieve to help find girls who go missing whether theyre run aways or including adding officers to the departments the Police Departments office of children and Family Services. And releasing more information about each case. Making sure that these girls are safe when they return home and Getting Services they and their families need. And of course mayor bowser has also said were hearing from people who be wonder when these cases are resolved why arent you letting us know. If you search missing d. C. Girls, each of the cases there has been resolved if the girls have been found it says that there. So, police are trying to keep ahead of this thing letting people know its not some crazy thing and were updating people when these cases are solved. But im curious do police take any blame for helping for not doing more to stop this when it began 14 missing girls in 24 hours, shouldnt they have done a little bit more to make sure that that false information didnt get out. I think theyre trying to get that word out but the problem is this new commander of this children and Family Services division is saying look when we get a report of a missing girl instead of saying well wait for the critical ones theyreut every time now and trying to tell people it doesnt mean that there are more than there were last year or the year before but were letting the Community Know through social media each time a family reports a kid missing so that even if theyre a run away theyre not getting in trouble. Before they get to that critical point. Exactly. Thanks bob. Reporter you bet. When we come back, teaching kids selfdefense. Dozens of kids attending a and antiabduction seminar over the week. Its another approach to keeping your kids safe. We have those details. Thats coming up next. You cant predict the market. D bad. At t. Rowe price. Weve helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. Call us or your advisor. T. Rowe price. Invest with confidence. Columbus ohio.

Shower activity, its real light but its certainly there looks like up 95 towards Ellicott City in columbia, quick shout outto clarksville getting some light showers the all of that is from us and, you know, as far as measurable rain were not going to have a whole lot of that but well have the fog and drizzle continue for a few more hours as this warm front continues to lift on through so just kind of hang in there. Were not going to get a lot of sunshine today but i think youll notice temperatures starting to warm up later this morning and this evening. We should be in the lower 70s later this morning. Tomorrow a cold front, maybe a thunderstorm with it and cooler and drier air by wednesday and thursday but were going to see temperatures top out in the mid 70s by tomorrow afternoon so next couple of days springlike temperatures. Good. Bring them on. About time. Okay, bringing on erin como talking about traffic this morning. Erin, where are you . Oh, my goodes i goodness. New crash, 66 on the eastbound side by 28.

It extends back before the springfield interchange to past braddock road withstand still traffic across all lanes. Two earlier crashes did clear one by Montrose Road and were unby montgomery avenue but fog and rain has us with this condition which is just crowded from father hurley to the spur youre basically parked.

Is President Trump crossing party lines . Not really but he is looking to democrats for help. When we come back virginia congressman jerry conley joining us live to talk about the president s agenda. I love this story. Dozens of folks trying best brando recreating the iconic scene from a streetcar named desire. Looking at the annual stanley and stella contest coming up. Taking live look outside on this monday morning. Things looking very dreary out there despite the Cherry Blossoms blooming. Weather conditions improving throughout the day. Well bring you the details of that as we continue with the news. 7 30. President trump vowing to move past last weeks failed health care legislation. This morning the blame game continues as to what went wrong. The president says hes moved on from health care and now says democrats own obama care which the president predicts will quote explode. So how will connell Congress Move forward from this, and is in its dealings with president . Joining us nouse representative Jerry Connelly democrat of virginia. We want you to know we tried to bring the republican perspective, too, since its that party they cannot get enough votes to act on health care between our planning producers, executive producer and our assignment desk we reached out more than 20 times right here, 20 times in the past week to local republicans including barbara comp tock, robert whitman, david brad none would come last week or this morning to share in this debate. Robert connolly thank you so much for coming in. My pleasure. The. First question obviously now what . Okay. The obama care lives on but my question to you before we even started the segment was, why arent democrats doing more to prop this up to let people know this is a good thing . Let me start right here, right now. Eighths good thing. Obama care actually is working. 20 million more people have health care. You know, we now have a series of protections for consumers making it illegal to deny coverage based on preexisting condition. Thats saved. We have a series is have to be covered like pregnancy, like mental health, drug addiction the republicans were repeal friday. Thats now saved. And you know, the cost curve of health care costing is coming down for the first time in decades. So obama care can be improved. I was going to say it does have problems. Lets not deny it does have huge problems. What doesnt . But we need republican cooperation to fix it. So what happens now . Is it just as the president had alluded, is it dead, hes moving on to tax reform . Youll have to ask him. I mean it was a cat at a chris mick loss for him and speaker ryan friday when they cannot get the votes on their own side of the aisle after seven and a half years of campaigning against first thing going to do is repeal obama care. What they discovered was, obama care is a lot more popular than theyho benefiting from it they dont want it to go away. Republican replace many plan was rejected by Public Opinion 56 to 17. 17 almost as low as the approval of congress. President trump had threatened lawmakers, look, act on this. Was that that a mistake . He dick a mistake in taking that tactic to getting his signature legislation passed . I think he did, because he didnt know how to read who these people are. I mean this an outsider who r really got grafted on to the republican he had loll base, and the freedom caw cause, you know, is re really an i was ton mow un caucus within the republican ranks and doesnt owe anything to anybody including him. So now the president has said hes reaching out to democrats. What do you make of this . He said that he he wants obama once obama care collapses maybe democrats will come to work something out. First of all, obama care is not going to collapse, nor should he encourage that. Right. Which is something we were talking about earlier. Why put this notion out thats exploding . It isnt. Its almost to heck with the American People well let this thing fail and when youre done well help you. Exactly. Why is it more being said and done to change that notice or to do something. I thought id come on channel five and start it this morning. Thats wrong. You took an oath to protect this country. And and to up hold all of the laws of this country. Obama care is the law of the land. You need to make sure it works. So what happens now . And to maureen earlier point because i thought it was an excellent one, where is the leadership coming out and saying reassuring the American Public that the Affordable Care act works in your best interest . I would love to see the white house and the Republican Leadership come to that conclusion and reach across the aisle and work with to us make improvements to obama care. Right. Still have only one insurance company. That was to before obama care by the way that wasnt caused by obama care. We need time prove that. We need competition. Competition gives you choice and brings down prices. So lets Work Together to make that happen. Representative nancy pelosi called trump said he made a rookie mistake that. Kind of language people are saying is divisive do we need to be hearing that or should we be doing things to unify and move this along and get some sort of consensus when it comes to helping the American People . I would like to see us move beyond politics and do whats in the countrys best interest. You know, improving the Entitlement Program we have on the books is would be smart policy and i hope upon reflection the new president with this political loss might draw that conclusion. That maybe working across the aisle as opposed to exclusively within your own ranks might have better out comes. Big issues coming up executive order being s how will democrats look to work with this administration . Were still hoping there could be some Common Ground. There could be on tax reform depending how open the white house is to hearing our ideas about that. Certainly Infrastructure Investment they can find some Common Ground. Because democrats definitely want to see significant improvements in the infrastructure of america so we stay competitive. So, you know, theyre still is the possibility of Common Ground. Its hard to find Common Ground, however, when you dont even make phone call to democrats that were not at the table and were not invited to be party to the drafting of legislation, then dobb surprised if you find unified democratic opposition. But were always available, but you got Common Ground means two of us are looking for Common Ground not just one of you. Congressman much for your time. My pleasure. We did reach out tarrier republican counterparts to take part in the discussion, none responded. Im happy to come any time. Thank you maureen. Congressman, thank you. 7 36 is the time right now. Lets get to Tucker Barnes with a check of our forecast. Hey, Cool Temperatures out there. We got a little fog a little mist little drizzle in spots. Well watch that start to lift off to the north with warm fr front. And dont want to promise a lot of sunshine today but i do want to promise warmer temperatures moving in this afternoon with highs in the low 70s. 48 now in washington. You can see locally were generally in the mid 40s. All right. Little light sprinkle and shower activity out there early. This again is a warm front lifting through the region not responsible for the cloud cover and the dense fog we have out there in spots. As that gets further north, we should see gradual improvement. I do want to say or mention temperatures will be very gradual to warm dawn. But we should see temps in the 70s by late this afternoon okay. Seven day coming up in just a minute. Erin is back with roads. Were dealing with some big issues. The inner loop is basically parked well before the springfield interchange to braddock road. Crash scene moved over to the Left Shoulder.

If you pack your kids lunch you may be making them sick. Utoh. When we come back dr. Shilpi will join us to give us the dirty details whats lurking in the lunch box. No, thanks. O, thanks. For years, fios has been promising fast internet to small businesses. But for many businesses, its out of reach. Why promise something you cant deliver . Comcast business is different. We deliver superfast internet with speeds of 150 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than fios. We do business where you do business. Welcome back, everybody. Hi, holly. Hi al you. You take the time to pack these healthy lunches for your kids but you might be making them sick any way. Thats right. The culprit could actually be your childs lunch box and joining us now with more dr. Shilpi agalwar with an eye he hi opening look what you may be sending to school with your childs good morning you guys. This was eye opening for me included. Full disclosure this includes your own childs lunch box. Coming straight from the doctor you guys no one is exempt here. The thing with these lunch boxes all these reusable stuff is that were trying to do better but we seldom clean any of these fabrics. We put things like fruits and vegetables which carry their own bacteria and also they can make us sick with things like diarrhea, constipation you can start feeling vomiting and even skin infections. Okay. So lets really show people what youre talking about. Okay. So i swabbed my own sons lunch box here, and this is an example of one of of those reusable type of bags we throw sandwich in there. I squad it and this is what i got. The middle one . The middle one. The worst looking one. Things like mold spores, e. Coli and Fecal Bacteria as well. So anything and everything is fair game in these lunch boxes and the main reason is, that we but they leak bacteria. Bacteria is really everywhere. But the problem these lunch boxes make a very prime environment because theyre d damp. Theyre dark. Zipped up. Theyre moist. This aggravates me so bad i was just talking to these ladies about this before we went on when i was originally packing my childs lunch i put it in brown paper bag, sip log bags everything that can be thrown away and i was like, got the glare, right . You need to be using reusable container saving the environment and while i understand theres got to be a little bit of balance here. We just throw everything away i didnt have this problem. Youre absolutely right. For the brown paper bags much more sanitary. But if you are going to use any of this reusable stuff the two main ways to help you, first a lot of hand washing. Finding with all the bacteria that were isolating that its probably because people arent washing their hands before they prepare the childs lunch. You too. Little one exactly making sure your child at school is washing their hands before they sit down for lunch. If they go to the bathroom and th a lot of contamiants, and wash out your lunch bags once a week and wipe it down every day with antibacterial wipes. Really . I would think the antibacterial would get on the apple and then that would be problem because youre like e eating that. Versus soap and water. If you wipe it out and let it air overnight you eliminated that residue. I want to put it in the dish washer on sanitize and kill everything. Right. Speaking of dishwasher and sanitize, probably what we should be doing with this water bottle but weve got chris water bottle right her. Producer chris in full disclosure. The lunch box provided by matt. Another producer. Swab both of them and see what grows. So well get i just know right now water bottle will be super nasty. Umhmm. Right. Get all up in there and see what comes out of there. And so when are we going to get results for this. In two days well check back in and ill show you guys what grows and i can bet its going to be a lot worse than that. I hear chris out sick thursday 49 day. With good reason. [ laughter ] the lunch box were swabbing all in there. So thats really how did you your own test on your own child. Y that was my own childs lunch box. I have a question. Is there anything about these with this kind of fabric and these zippers kids tend to use now that is worse than the Old School Metal lunch boxes that we used to use . Right. I used to have a met toll one, too. Me too. Those are easier to clean. I think that you can put soap and water and run that under the regular kitchen sing so to me thats cutly more san teas tea these because their fabric youre never really going put thunder the sink. So unless youre tossing this in the laundry you should be doing once a week in the laundry with your kitchen towels. Really . Dont do it with underwear and stuff. Have you ever done that. Have you ever laundered your lunch box. Thats exactly how you can help to keep it clean. The best way. I did switch from this kind to like a plastic, um, it looks like a lunch bag. You know what im saying. That is easier to clean because you dont have any problem putting it under the water. Exactly. Neglect that you can actually submerge in water, warm soapy water, thats going to be better option for you than these really fan seize ones you never want to worry bout shape and distorting it you need to be able to toss that into the sink or into the laundry machine. Whats the key with the Water Bottles . I feel like obviously a lot of people carry a around Water Bottles and i do in that case i do understand the need for us not to put so many plastic Water Bottles in landfills and stuff like that. Whats the key there . I think the Reusable Water Bottle is definitely great for the environment and we should all be using that but cleaning it fish the and frequently is the most important thing. So if you this in the dishwasher theres a sanitize cycle even if you dont sanitize, putting it in the dishwasher will help it because that high heat kills everything. It makes it a lot cleaner small crevices where mold accumulates. How often . Like every time you use it. Every day, right. I would probably recommend at least ever couple of days before reusing for the next day. Chris, remember you got to rinse this out with warm soapy water before you put it in for the next day. The problem its only been sitting on his desk for a couple months. I saw it to months ago much the problem all of this little stuff up there getting the straw clean. Hard to clean. The whole thing is really hard to do. All of these parts are removable in this type of thing so you should be separating all of this, pulling this out and running the water soapy water through there. Or just use the kind that i do. Do better fort environment. You are. By next monday these will be hopefully in two days. Are you coming back earlier. On wednesday. Ill take a picture shown you guys and them you guy which is show it to everybody watching. Well report. You can get even more scared about whats there.

But as we get through the morning into the afternoon, we should see the fog and low clouds start to lift and most importantly our temperatures will start to rise. Still cool out there with overnight lows back in the 40s. In fact yesterday we never got out of the 40s. You can see were still stuck there kind of stuck in the mud here early this morning. 48 in washington. Starting to see the warmer temperatures in leonardtown. 54. Notice the little arrows thats the wind direct out of the south our warm front is coming through. 50 in culpeper. 47 in dulles. 46 in frederick. Had light kell out there earlier. Left a littl or two. Thats the worse of the forecast today. Little drizzle might be a popup shower later this morning early this afternoon. But the real theme will be the warmer temperatures working in from the south. So again a front can get up into pennsylvania little later this morning and this afternoon we should see our temperatures start to climb around here and with any sunshine at all, a little later today, we may get a little sun.

Meet this young man wearing his pjs no shirt causing a commuter nightmare he sat there and ate pancakes at a folding table right in the middle of the road. Looks like a busy road. Look at that truck. Drivers were forced to go around this young man. I got a problem or you guys got one before somebody gets ran over. I believe in it was dangerous. We live that type of lifestyle. [ laughter ] the video going viral thousands of views every hour. He admits he pulled a stunt to promote social media pages where he showcases his rap music and comedy routines. Actually kind of smart. What part of that is smart. The way to get your social media out there. Stupid as being in the middle of the road and getting hit by a car. I agree with that. But now were talking about him and now hes gone yeah. Its interesting. One of my many problems i have with social media. Its true. I digress. People might start listening to his music because of that video. Its ridiculous thing. Yeah. Thats way wanted. Until we stop watching people. Holly great to have you back. Thank you. Hope awed good vision. I did. Big Box Office Weekend this weekend. Holly was probably at the movies all weekend long. I did watch movies on the plane. You did . What did you see. Well talk about it later. Beauty and the beast, 690 million in ten days. Now, listen, people might say why are Box Office Numbers interesting that is a massive massive amount of money and i think that just proves that people were still going to the cinema movies are still a big deal. 690 million in less than ten days i believe its the fourth movie ever to make that much money within that ten day pe period. Incredible number at the box office. 88 million this weekend at the Box Office Number one again. Its a big deal. I didnt love the film. Allison you saw it this weekend. I really i like it didnt love it. I thought emma watson was a weak singer. I did, too. Your daughter scaler whos my twin my singing daughter kevins twin hated it. I thought i thought i was going to look over at her and she would have that dreamy face. Because i kind of did at some moments. She was just like schusky are twins. Did she only not like emma watson. She felt like it fell flat. I didnt feel a connection between the beast and bell. Im in the minority. Ive never gotten more negative responses,. A beast an human. I dont understand. All right. Next up number two was Power Rangers i loved this film i reviewed it on friday. This was a big surprise movie because i loved the series growing up. Its goofy. Its self aware over the top. Made 40. 5 million at the box office this weekend with really no star power in the leading rolls. Becky g who well have on the show this friday shes a big name now but Bryan Cranston is in the film and e again, if you are going in for oscar winning screen play you wont get that here with this. Just a really fun stupid over the top movie. The movie life and chips did not too pell well. Super surprised by live. 58 million budget. 12. 6 millions. Jake gyllenhaal and ryan reynolds. How did it not too well. I think the premise heres why i think people thought it was too similar to alien. Why will i see alien again. Chips the remake of the tv show not surprised. Bombed. And i dont know why because thats the exact same formula as 21 jump street. Because chips was serious. It was eric estrada. So was 21 jump street was remade. It 21 jump street had a little bit more comedy in that, you know, theyre fun and theyre funky and young johnny depp. Holly robinson. Chips has only become a joke after the fact. Exactly. People are laughing at it. Not with it. And it wasnt. It was serious. Over the weekend i sat down hollywood, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and alan arc ken. About three other older gentlemen who decide to rob a bank because their pensions are being taken away from them. I love this premise. It has this moral dilemma. Theyre money is being taken from them and they want to rob the back to get their own money bank. I spoke to Michael Caine and alan arc ken and Morgan Freeman during this interview i was doing research and had no idea Michael Caines real name was maurice mickle white. Which is very strange name, he told me a story about when he was a young actor in 1954 he went to phone booth and he was in the phone with his agent and his agent said i need a new name he was going by Michael White at the time mickle white. You cant use Michael White. Someone already has that name. Wait until you hear how he came up with Michael Caine. Watch this. Go to specific phone booth every evening and phone night agent to see if i got a job because i was broke a around. One day she said to me youve got a job but youve got a join equity actors trade union and she said you can call yourself michael but you cant call yourself white because there is Michael White. There is a Michael White. And so she said, i want a name now. Because i want there was hum agree bogart in the canin mute knee. I said caine. Michael caine. I said she said how do you spell that. Caine. [ laughter ] she said okay. And it always occurred to me because glad i was in the odie. If id gone to the square theater i would have been michael 101 dalmatians. [ laughter ] all right. Michael caine you know him probable of the most from batman films he can have been michael 101 dalmatians standing somewhere else. But its funny theres a 1954 hum agree bogart called the c caine mute knee. Today he cou maurice mickle white. Benedict cumberbatch. Thats true. Actually i think maurice mickle white is a good name. Today it would work. Mickle white. In the 50s agents were like cant do that. Too long. Yeah. Before we go do we have time for the orange is the new black story . This is legendary an actress from the show her name is samira wiley she got married over the weekend to the writer and producer of the show as w well. So shes the actor and Lauren Morrelli i believe very very cool. Beautiful wedding. My goodness. Martha stewart weddings was the actual thing there. Very very cool. Very pretty.
