A man is hold up inside of his house in the fort hunt area in Fairfax County. Negotiator at the house right now. This standoff situation has been going on for almost 12 hours now. Melanie alnwick live this morning with the details for us. Mel. Reporter hey, good morning, guys and things are still pretty much tap standstill here but i suppose that in a way you could say no news is good news. Police first came here around 8 oclock last night after they man may perhaps be a threat to himself, maybe the other people in his home as well. It all happened because this man was on the phone with someone and that person on the other end of the line felt that he was in a Mental Health crisis situation. So, they contacted police. Police were able to get an emergency Custody Order. That means that they can bring that person in and have them evaluated, do a Mental Health evaluation, perhaps maybe do ahold if that is necessary for a couple of days until things settle down but when police did get to the residence to try to serve that order, apparentlily the man decided he did not want to comply, did not want to cooperate and that is where we pretty much stand at this point. Again, we do not believe at least from the information that im being told in this man has threatened to harm the children in the home but he has threatened to harm himself and they always worry in circumstances like that, that things could perhaps go in the wrong so, we know that negotiators have been on the phone, have been in contact with the man, working with him trying to bring this all to a safe conclusion. We know Fairfax County police also have received extensive training in the last few years in deescalation techniques and that is what theyre trying to do in this southern part of Fairfax County, the Stratford Landing community here in that fort hunt. Well send it back to you guys in the studio for now. Mel, thanks very much. Also breaking this morning from that cleveland, ohio, the massive manhunt continues for this man accused of killing an elderly man and then posting video of that murder on facebook. Police say he then took to Facebook Live to boast about the killing and to make matters even worse police say it appears he chose his victim at random. Wisdom joins us from the studio with the latest. Reporter good morning steve and holly. This is a truly disturbing crime. Here suspects picture 37yearold steve stevens.

Reporter Fraternity Brothers who knew stevens havent seen him in months but are shocked by the shooting. My emotions ranged all over the placement i was so heartbroken for the family and that man who did nothing. Reporter the family of godwin is now mourning his loss after seeing him earlier sunday. He got in the truck and left about two and a half hours later his sons mom came beating on my door. Reporter Facebook Says the actual murder wasnt broadcast on its live feature but was posted afterwards in video before he used Facebook Live to talk about killing several people. Now, in a statement, Facebook Says this is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on facebook. We work hard to keep a safe environment on facebook and are in touch with Law Enforcement in emergencies. Cleveland police are calling for stevens to current himself in to authorities. There are people out there that care about steve and want to see this not go any further. Reporter now, police say they have no evidence of any truth behind stevens claim of killing other people but they believe he killed mr. Godwin after getting into an argument with a woman he mentions in that horrific video of the killing. That woman released a statement overnight expressing her prayers to the victims family and says that the stevens she knows is kind and loving. Police think stevens may have fled out of state and warn people in pennsylvania new york indiana and michigan to be on alert. He was last seen driving a white ford fusion.

This is a cold front coming through not terribly well organized but it does have enough rain shower activity that much of the area should get at least some light precip amounts. We really need the rain around here. I think by midafternoon things start to taper off and perhaps tonight we clear it out. Tomorrow looks gorgeous, 72 with sunshine and then a little unsettled wednesday, thursday, friday, scattered showers. Not going to be a washout later this week. Thanks tuck.

Were also dealing with some heavier traffic as well as you make your way out on the outer loop top of the beltway. More traffic in a few. 395 also backed up to the 14th street bridge. Back to you. Erin thanks much. Happening today, the city of hyattsville one step closer to becoming a sanctuary city t today the City Council Votes on an final ordinance. The move came despite threats by the feds top cut off funding to sanctuary cities. A time honored tradition that takes place at the white house. The trump family will host the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Of course fox5 is there live for the big event. Our Anjali Hemphill is at the white house waiting for things to get rolling i guess we should say. Anjali. Looks like youre on the grounds now unfortunately we cant hear her oh, there she is. Anjali, are you with us. Reporter you hear me now . Yes, can you hear me . Weve got members of the mascots, the president s here of the Washington Nationals you can see them getting their photo taken with i believe thats the easter bunny. Also the mascot from the washington wizard, people in panda costumes, all types of stuff so things are definitely starting to get under way here. Were expecting more than 20,000 people to be let in for this timeless tradition and the first one under President Trump. Children 13 years and younger and their families will get those wooden spoons that they will use to push around 15,000 dyed eggs across the white house lawn. You can see the course here, its different than an Easter Egg Hunt, its a roll, your goal not to crack the eggs. Many were allocated to schools and Law Enforcement families. Kids here will also get to take home another tradition, the keepsake wooden egg. Im told this year they are the color gold which if youve ever been to any trump blarts you know he does like that color and we do expect the president and first lady to be here later this morning. Not exactly sure when but we expect them to be here at this event. So as long as the rain holds off it should be an excellent one. Back to you guys. I have a question for you. I know youre in the area where theyre going to do the roll. Usually there are lots of other activities set up all over the lawn. Is there is that going on this morning, too, or is it just the roll . Reporter no, i believe we do have theres going to be story telling. Ive heard there might be yoga. We are still in the setup phases so not exactly sure where everything is going out here but you can see theres a lot of activity out here and a lot of people kind of huddled in activity corners where i believe those activities will take place. So, a lot going on here. Go the to be a lot to entertain 20,000 or more people. My question super simple. Can people bring umbrellas in or not . Reporter i believe they can. We were allowed to bring our umbrellas. Again, we are dealing with some rain this morning. I have not been told that they are not allowed. So, i will have to check on that but i believe they are because again it looks like a cell might come through a little bit later this morning. Anjali thanks. Memes are not attending the white house egg roll have the national zoo as an option. Today is family day at the zoo a tradition that dates back more than 100 years when africanamerican families were barred from going to the white house and instead went to the zoo.

Might have a few showers this morning but it will make way for some sunshine this afternoon. Tucker will talk more about the forecast in about five minutes or so. At your top stories on a monday. The manhunt continues for this man. 37yearold steve stevens. Police in cleveland say he shot and killed a 74yearold man at random yesterday then posted a video of the alleged killing to facebook. Initially it was thought stevens live streamed it all but facebook later said he actually up loaded a video and that it was not streamed life. Stevens did, however, live stream a separate video in which he claimed to have killed several other people. Police have found no evidence of that claim. Developing overnight a man is hold up inside of a house in the fort hunt area in Fairfax County. Negotiates there are right now because the man is refusing to come out of the house and Authorities Say there two Young Children signed the home. Police have an emergency Custody Order. They are communicating with the man but worried he may be a threat to himself or to others. Today a time honored tradition takes place at the white house the trump family will egg roll. 21,000 people are expected to andy t live picture from the lawn as we speak. The easter egg roll tradition goes back to the early 1800s when first Lady Dolly Madison invited local children to egg rolling events to the grounds of the capitol building. Lets stick on the easter egg roll theme speaking of white house much this years event obviously a little scaled down perhaps from in the past. Few bumps along the way including the they can got ordered late. Is it ding or the administrations public image. Media reporter for politico and fox5 political contributor hadas gold. Lets talk about the easter egg roll. Obviously every administration will do it differently. Right. Not all there to see how past administrations that done into it. What do we expect this year. Slightly scaled operation than what it was before. The reason this is getting a lot of attention theres a big article in the New York Times about how kind of behind they were in the part of the reason is that the first lady is not physically in washington, d. C. And shes not taking on as big of a role as other first ladies have. Shes still obviously in new york and with her son as he finishes school. But what the problem with that, though, people are worried the easter egg roll wouldnt be as big as it used to be it doesnt have the same number of celebrities perhaps as the obama years they had. But we were even seeing things like the company that traditionally makes those commemorative pegs people can buy or get at the actual egg role were twe tweeting administration, hour production deadline is coming up and we need to you order them so we can get them in. That was a very public the tweet has since been taken down a public signal we were little bit behind on this years egg roll. When the tweets come from the white house, we definitely notice them and when the tweets go to the white house we notice them as well. Little interesting to put the business out there, but it also makes you wonder if thats the only way theyre able to get the white houses attention. Right. Its one of the biggest events. It seems like its jt roll. Its not like a summit with some foreign leader. But it does, you know, you want to see the white house us usualy being way on top of things even for the smallest events nor nory the white house has everything planned out and months in advance with every single little detail include wrack people are standing figured out. So people were wondering what is is this signal for how the white house operates. If the easter egg roll, for example, isnt as fully planned in advance as it could have been. Not going to solve world piece. Perception obviously is key it makes a big difference. Saturday night snl saturday night live according to variety magazine had record ratings. They brought back the sean spicer character, of course, they had the president , they had jar rad kushner portrayed bite guest host. They covered their basis. Variety this is this is rating gold. Everybody is watching. Is it . Is it something they have struck gold with because the white house doesnt seem to enjoy it. So who really wins in this situation . Snl definitely winning in this situation. Obviously alec baldw alec baldwin would be now a fulltime cast member of snl even though hes been around for such a long time. And this is clearly something that works for them and its kind of like a circular firing squad that keeps going back and forth. Snl will do it. Sean spicer gets asked about it in the press briefing we hear reports from the white house about donald trump doesnt like that spicers portrayed by a woman and just continues on and continues on. And its very clear that the snl people are probably following all of the news and all of our twitter feeds just as closely as we are of each other. Its cave coming into every saturday night. They found the formula. For snl its working right now. Speaking of the press conference, what do you think will dominate the headlines today. Probably north korea a lot of action vicepresident pence is there in the region right now. And theres a lot of worry. There was a front page analysis today in the New York Times about how this is a slow burning cuban missile crisis probably going to come to us quickly and a lot of fear amongst analyst people about what north koreas planning to do next and this is going to be a big test for the president. Its interesting. We heard the vicepresident , of course, his comments this morning talking tough when it comes to north korea. But its difficult because when you talk to the Foreign Policy experts this is youre dealing much more with the unknown with north korea than you are with many other nations if not every other nation. Right. Unknown its unpredictable leader, and i mean if the United States had it their way chinese would take a bigger role and really try to control it. As donald trump warned via tweet hes not afraid to take matter noose us hands and take care of it ours. On snl kind of interesting sean spicer character played by Melissa Mccarthy was joking tomorrow well strike north korea. I know some people were like, thats a little bit too close to the truth. Yeah. Not that thats going to happen. Right. The fear is definitely there. I think way lot of people. Because of the uncertainty that were dealing with north koreas leadership. Thanks hadas. Good to see you this morning. Great to be here. 7 35. Es easter egg roll zen 45 00. Hopefully well see him there on the grounds of the white house. The question is whether or not it will be raining, tucker. Couple showers out there, steve. Cant guarantee that it is going to be rain free if youre headed down to the easter egg roll. Scattered showers. Thats bottom line. Not going to be a washout. Not heavy rain scattered showers in the forecast. 68 in washington. 54 in pittsburgh. Cooler air north and west. 40s in chicago. Detroit 48 degrees. We will definitely be in a cooler pattern here the next couple of days. Yesterday we hit 89. Wont that be warm today. Well be in the mid 70s most of the rain shower fairly light. Some rain there thats now redeveloping e of the beltway 95 towards fredericksburg across potty tow mack into Southern Maryland off to the north and west along 81. Winchester and front royal getting rain showers and bottom line rain showers for everybody here for the next several hours and then by mid to Late Afternoon we should see the rain taper off maybe day sun. 74 this afternoon.

Then things will taper off by mid afternoon we may even get late day sunshine future cast indicating we might get Late Afternoon sunshine. Theres your future cast at 11 00. You can see the shower activity kind of hanging out right across the beltway here.

Well start you off with the rails telling you about safetrack we have a new problem on the red line medical emergency at Farragut North no longer single tracking between Judiciary Square and Farragut North. Delays continue to shady grove from some earlier single tracking so red line adjustment for you to be aware of aside from that safetrack first weekday impacted by surge 14 lasting through the 29th. No Train Service between prince Georges Plaza and green belt. Free Shuttle Service does replace that Train Service though that should slow you down a bit. I heard from twitter on friend the p. Good plaza parking lot is a fuller than usual. So something to keep in mind. No yellow plush service use b college Park University maryland and green belt stations closed so thats important to note this morning as you head out for the metro ride. Northbound 295 Construction Zone lingers at east capital seeing big delays really starting to linger back to the beltway earlier crash on the inbound 11th Street Bridge cleared but the 11th Street Bridge commute by m street 12 miles an hour. Southbound 295 from 50 down to the 11th Street Bridge heavy so big delays in both directions. This seems to be the slowest area. Watch out for Police Activity and extra volume by the white house thats fun times the easter egg roll Anjali Hemphill bringing us live reports there. This earlier eastbound seven crash involving downed trees trotting horse cleared we still have delays toll roads still a better bet. Back to you holly and steve. Thanks erin. 7 49. It has been nearly a year now since prince died from an accidental Drug Overdose at his suburban minneapolis estate according to reports investigators still have not decided whether criminal charges warranted. Sech unsealed likely including one from the first search of paisley park. Prince died on april 21st last year. Late night Host David Letterman saying final goodbye to his mother this weekend letterman held memorial Burial Service for his late mom dorothy who passed await last week at the age of 95.

Prince harry opening up for the 40 about how he copied with his mothers death. Saying he sought counseling years after she died. He said he suppressed his grief and refused to face his sense of loss for more than a decade. Felt like he was constantly on the verge of a break down. He started counseling in his late 20s and faced his unhappiness head on. The prince says he is in a good place now and is speaking out and hopes of breaking the stigma around mental illness. Princess diana was killed in a crash when harry was just 12 years old. 7 50. All right queue up the fox beat music. Kevin mccarthy joins us now. Good morning steve and holdly. I want to apologize in advance to you guys. I probably wreak of coffee. I spilled an entire cup of coffee in my lap. I like the smell of coffee. Im not wearing coffee cologne its all over my par parents. I spilled a entire cup of it. Was it scolding at the time. Thank god it was an hour after i pull it. Rosario dawson amazing actress. She worked with some of the greatest film makers of all t time. Danny boyle, quentin tarantino, kevin smith. I love kevin smith. I know. Shes work with everybody. Robert rodriguez people i really admire im jealous of who shes been on is the with. I spoke to her about unforgettable in the film catherine heigls character her exhusband is now date agnew woman and this is Rosario Dawsons character the exwife wants to make her life a little he doubl i spoke to her shooting this movie how you shoot scenes with the phones. Theres an mazing fight scene and a scene cut from that she really wanted in there. Watch this. When youre making a movie and off phone thats being called by an unknown number, how does that work . Is someone actually calling you . Is it really happening . How do that block it like that . Theres different ways that its done. Sorry. Theres like sometimes they just do green screen and just do it later. Sure. They have it where is photos it can or even a little almost like a gift so like loop back so it look like its ringing being answered and whatever so they have. And then you have someone actually call you. Awesome. Depends on the situation and like, you know, we were just doing scene in a basement in the marvel show but there was no way we could have pysched been called. No reception no one would call anyone at all. We had to do the video version of it. I know. Sure. I know you get asked a lot about the fight scene. Its a really cool scene. The scene was really choreographed really well s anything , do you ever ever get hurt when you shoot Something Like that. A gazillion percent. Is the glass candy glass. Its candy glass but ive got cuts and scars and bruises from so many Different Things over the years. Things happen. But it was really fun on this one the approach of it was like lets not have this perfect core graphed fight. Im really bummed there was one beat we were trying to get in there but it was so late we were rushing so hard it wasnt just like it was just too much but we were going to do when one of us gets punched in the boob so awkward and painful and weird. Really like really hoping that was going to make it but it didnt. In my opinion you have the ideal filmography you work with my favorite film makers of all time. Instead of vin smith, rodriguez, tarantino boyle. When you work with people like that do you bring elements of them into every performance you do. Conscious thing maybe do you think about what tarantino taught you or boyle or of course. I mean over the years spike lee was such a huge impact on my life. I did he got game when i was 18. And harmony corrine. My first film he taught me everything. About being onset. My First Experience of anything in rehearsal and luckily there were really rig us will about the stuff, but really i think about spike and, you know, being able to be working with denzel and working on, um, 25th hour and all of those incredible. I just luckily ive been in school. I felt like there were so many times i was onset and ill be the fly on the wall. Whats interesting about what she said about being in school ive always wanted to be a film maker in my life the job i get to do i get to sit down with film makers shes acting a different scenario and pick their brains and learn things about film making. Sure. Its amaze wagon shes done. Shes amazing in the film the movie opens up friday. More coming up this week. Cher lad is in that movie well talk to her. Shes kind of cool. Charlies angels. Not a lot of cheryl lad sightings no. Lets take live look at the easter egg role its officially underway. Oh, my gosh. Look at that little bow tie too cute trying to roll that egg. No hands. With the wooden spoon. Oh, no. Its mulligan much its a loud. Keep going. Get that picture. So it is officially underway there at the white house this longstanding tradition on Easter Monday where the president opens up the lawn of the white house and allows people to come on. I think theyre expecting about 21,000 people today. Rutherford b. Heys was the fir president that actually had the egg roll on the white house lawn. Dolly madison started it before that but they did it on the capitol before it was moved to the white house. But its a fun day for all, and if you are watching and you have tickets to go down there, my best piece of advice and ive done an egg role or two in my time here at fox5, dont wear your best either shoes. The lawn is wet. It can get a little messy. So wear some shoes that you dont care about getting messed up. Not a good heel day. Its not a good heel day. No. Um, that can get wet and grassy. Good to know. If you look up there at the white house it looks like the band is playing as well. President expected to make an appearance about 10 30 this morning. Tucker. Clearly the easter egg role is for young people. If i were bent over like this more more than 12 seconds id be stuck like that for the rest of the day. You need a longer spoon. Exactly. There you go. 3foot handle. The other thing im thinking easter roll invented long before the cell phone todays generation that will keep them entertained for too long. 69 in washington. Winds west southwest at nine. Light rain shower across the area. More of it off to the north and west up along 81. And today will be a rather cloudy day. With on and off again needed rain showers.

Reporter good morning gu guys. 12 hours now and counting and still no sign that this may break any time soon. Fairfax county police have been here all night. You can see the Incident Command Center here at one corner but the house itself is act several blocks away down a couple of turns. Theyre trying to keep everyone very far back as they work this very sensitive scene here. We have heard neighbors telling us that those who are closer to the home itself could hear overnight negotiators on their bull horns talking to the homeowner asking him to open the door, to come to the window. To come out with his hands up and most importantly dont hurt the children. That is the big concern here. Sources tell me Fairfax County police the man has made no specific threats toward the children. He has threatened to harm himself. This all began around 8 00 oclock last night. He was on the phone with someone who felt perhaps he was having a Mental Health crisis. That person then contacted Fairfax County police. Police then were able to get an emergency Custody Order which would allow them to bring him in for some Mental Health evaluation. Make sure that things are okay. But when they came here to ser that emergency Custody Order, the man then refused to leave the home and that is the situation that we are in right now. There were several sirens that we heard overnight as well and again neighbors saying that they here and there are able to hear the communications between the police and the man inside the house. But at this point, its still pretty much a situation in hold as they wait to hope that they can bring this to a safe resolution. Live in the for hunt area of Fairfax County, im Melanie Alnwick fox5 local news.

He is generous with everyone he knows. He was kind and loving to me and my children. This is a very difficult time for me and my family.

This comes a mid array of issues for the airline recently are people taking advantage of the company as they deal will this pr nightmare . Holly morris joins us with the Turbulent Times for united. Thats good question. You know, because united got themselves in bind. Yeah. And then other people perhaps might be taking advantage. I dont know. Maybe the story is true. Bride and groom were booted from United Airlines flight out of houston on saturday. The couple was headed to their own wedding. Michael hall and his fiance Amber Maxwell say when they got to their seats they found a man sleeping in them. So they decided to move up from row 24 to row 21. The couple says they didnt think it would be a big full so they moved up. Well, that caused a big issue. The Flight Attendant asked the pair to return to their ticketed seats. The couple says they complied. Now united has a totally different side of the story. United says the couple reportedly tried to sit in more expensive seats for which they had not paid. The airline also said the couple would not follow night crew instructions. United released this statement saying, were disappoint the any time a customer has an experience that doesnt mess up to their expectations these parse jess peteedly to sit in upgraded seat hemoglobin they did not purchase and they would not follow crew instructions to return to their assigned seats. The couple was rebooked on another flight the next morning. Meanwhile, the lawyer for the man who was dragged off a different united flight last week says, united has agreed to save evidence in the case. So a hearing set for today has been called off. A lawsuit has not yet been filed but the attorney said a lawsuit is still like attorneys also say that dr. David dao got a concussion a broken knows and two lot of teen when he was forcibly taken off that plane. Former miss venezuela is suing United Airlines after she was handcuffed mid flight. The incident happened back in 2013. But shes just now coming out with the story. Carmen, says she was arguing with her now exhusband when he slapped her after she tried to sleep on his shoulder. He then told a Flight Attendant that she was invading his personal space. She was then moved several times first to another seat in first class and then back to a economy and then she was forced to the back of the plane where she had to sit near an off duty police officer. After seeing the video of dr. Dao being forced off flight this month, she decided to speak up. She is seeking damages from the airline. After all of this drama unfolding airline has actually decided to change their policies. The company will no longer allow crew members to dpl passengers on board airplane. New policy will require must ride bookings at least an hour before departure instead of up until the plain leaves. So i think theres a little bit of everything going on here. Thats lot to take in. Real stories and then you have people taking advantage of the situation and there might be some opportunity tifts there but also those and its been in lot of business journals over the weekend and they say this is this was basically a storm that was brewing that was ready to blow up. Long time at the time coming. When you look back at the history if a company has a lot of customer complaints at some point you have to take look at yourself. Right. They created the situation. Right. There you go. They created the environment now deal with it. There you go. Fingers crossed it will get better. More turbulence for united thats probably the best line of the day. Its a great opportunity for other airlines to be over courteous. Absolutely. And they are taking advantage of that with the some of the commercials and some of the ads that theyre putting out. The other airlines about. Customer wins. Hopefully cut the customers win will win which is us. Thank you holdly.

Take a look behind me as the egg role is well underway and weve had the pleasure of enjoying several adorable rounds so far as these Young Children use these wooden spoons to basically push or shepherd these died eggs across the white house lawn the whole idea is to not have them crack too bad at the end of it and as you can see, weve got them well underway here and several hounds have happened so far it looks like weve got a younge k definitely memorable day for these children and their par parents.

The same number of eggs that were ordered in the past have been ordered this is really about making sure this is about the kids. We have reducing the vip and special guests and make made it about military families, local families, the lottery but again, this is about the children. Not about adults.

Nothing says easter egg sugar like wisdom martin. Speaking of sugar in todays health watch making your morning cap of coffee and getting ready for your breakfast think about this. Just how sweet is that first cap of joe or the entire sweeteners out there than you may think. So what should you look for when youre buying or look out for when youre buying this stuff and when youre ready to eat your breakfast meal . Dr. Shilpi is here she has the real skinny on all this stuff. Yes. Tell was we should and should not be doing. Lets hit it from schill glee good morning wisdom. Good morning. We ale make our coffee its confusing you get over there theres ten different items what show we pick. Yes. These are all the bad things. Okay. Its regular white sugar thats bleached and processed very unhealthy for you. As per tame. As per tame its chemically processed. Its 200 times more suite than regular sugar. Okay. Theres controversial studies on it. Some say it has been linked with cancers and other defects. The fda actually approved this they havent said that it actually is linked to that but what you do know wisdom its 200 or thee hadnt doctor times sweeter than natural sugar. So basically since its that number is so crazy stay away people report having headaches, fatigue after using too much as per tame. And over time if you use those high intensity sweeteners like as per tame, sweet and low, equal, you end up messing with the signals in your body that brain perceives as sweet. So your threshold for whats perceived as sweet is affected and then you start to have more sweet cravings. This foods sweetened with as per tame same idea a little bit too sweet so theyre not as healthy not going to be good options. Okay. The next thing thats bad, which i thought was good for you. Everybody thought this was good for us. But were finding to you it has a huge source of fluke toes. Fructose we hear about in high fructose corn zero yup. 70 to 90 of that and heres the problem with that. Its packaged in the liver but the live really doesnt know what to do with it so it repack catches it all into fat. Something called triglycerides it deposits right on the abd abdomen. So agave syrup is not good. Not good. Stay away. Put that over here. We got this. Splenda. Doesnt sound l marked it after the whole thing with as per tame. Splenda was made so that it was told to consumers its a drove tough of regular sugar they take out atoms and add chlorine but the problem with splenda, again, theres a lot of refined stuff in here and we dont have long tie studies how splenda affects your blood. All right. Were finding also its not inert. He was supposing to right through your body. But it doesnt. It doesnt. It which affect your blood sugars. Put this over here. Thats bad. Move on down the line. What are our good alshon. Who are are the alter neaten ten tiffs. Avoid sweeteners altogether my number one choice have black coffee experiment with coffee, tea, without it. You can use different strengths of coffee to see if it is palatable f not go were you the raw or cane sugar not bleach it shouldnt look so bright white. Should look a little brownish hue raw sugar. Try the black one first. Black coffee with nothing. See wait tastes like. Keep talking about that. Next thing we have an option sugar alcohol. Made diabetics because it doesnt raise our blood sugar the same level this is good. Okay. And it has no after taste like some of those other products. Give that try. All right. Only thing if you have too much of this youll have lot of bloating and diarrhea. [ laughter ] keep this to moderation. Moderation. Oh, okay. All right. Moderation. Dont have a whole bag of sugar free candy. This actually tastes good. Good. Gotcha. Then the last one. Steve ya, guys s a really good option. Because its a plant extract it comes from plant its all natural and no additives to it. So youll see marked as true ya, steve ya, keep in mind a little goes a long way on the steve ya. Talk about the whole pack. Try it i only put in part of it its very very sweet. I would even say it is sweet. This is really sweet. But its great for adding to oatmeal other foods because its natural. And these are going to be your better choices than all of that artificial stuff esp gaff have a and splenda. This is the one that gave you the other issues right . If you have too much of it just little bit in your coffee this is really good choice for diabetics. Gotcha. All right. I like this one the best. You liked that one. Super sweet. Im not surprised. I know. Dr. Shilpi and i have this about sugar and sweets. Dr. Shilpi, thank you. Umhmm. Appreciate it. Steve, back over to you. Hmm. Wisdom .

Diesel is a good name vin diesel real naked is mark sinclair. In that weird. Mark sinclair nothing wrong with that. Strong name. Its not vin diesel. Strange consider him looking at him mark sinclair. I think thats his real name. Fade of the furious. Broke the Biggest Record in hollywood in my opinion. This is the largest worldwide opening film in the history of movies. Thats pretty much it. I mean it literally is the biggest opening of all time. Now, heres the thing these are estimated numbers. Heres why you have to be careful. 532. 5 million in its weekend. The film behind that at number two is Star Wars Episode 7,529,000,000. Only talking about three and a half Million Dollars here. So when the final numbers come out today, it could be different. We will see but right now, the estimates have it being the number one of all time. It beat jurassic world, Star Wars Episode seven. Heres a couple things to note, though. Very interesting. In china, the film made 190 million. Star wars episode seven did not open in china in its first weekend so thats definitely a factor here as to why this blue away the star wars number possibly. But this movie also took a drop domestic klee here at the United States. It only i say 100 only did 100 million in the us thats a little bit low compared to what seven did. 147 in its first weekend. So heres the thing. This is a big deal. This record stands. This will be the highest opening in the history of sin in a ma i think its massive. Dont you think thats it is. Ticket sales. Yeah. Of course. Apples to apples. It is interesting to think a movie like that in eighth in its franchise made a half a billion dollars this weekend. What water budget on it. Im assuming probably close to 200, maybe 150 to 200. Other interesting things beauty and beast made 13 million this weeks. Box office news. Coming now is the Melissa Mccarthy return to snl as sean spicer. They apparently snl had the biggest ratings theyve had since february. Because they did this new thing they aired live from coast to coast. So while it aired here live at 11 30, people were watching it live on the west coast at 8 30. And this is obviously one of the highlights from the show alec baldwin was back as trump he did Elimination Round for top adviser where he pinned steve bannon versus Jared Kushner and Jared Kushner ended up winning this and youll see jimmy fallon playing kushner there. There you go. Melissa mccarthy did return as sean spicer as the easter bunny, and this is in reference to remarks he made last week in regards to the holocaust which he has apologized for but this is meliss mccarthys take on that and him issuing an apology in a fake press conference.

Thats Melissa Mccarthy returning as sean spicer also harry styles made his solo debut. I thought listen its a stripped down perform love the song. I was was actually more interested in hearing him sink. Watch this. I would argue that him and zane were the two best singers in one direction and i think harry styles this song is such an interesting direction to use for his style because,. Com i just say that. Oh my god. Can you name the other members of one direction. Louie, liam, nile, zip and harry. Well done. I interviewed them all for the the now movie. Lie played guitar with harry styles.
