People enjoy coming here to play pool. Put a record on and listen to it, its just a Gathering Spot that makes our guest interact the locals and really experience everything. The asbury hotel is different in many ways. It is being seen as a social hub in town with great food and great fun for everybody. There is a pool for when it gets hot and pool tables and games. The roof is the amazing part of the asbury hotel. 4300300 square foot rooftop with breathtaking overlooks the ocean. They offer a Movie Theater complete with popcorn, beer, wine and sunrise yoga. Starting january 21 a Winter Program Program Began spread your the first to hear about it. They have installed an iceskating rink. Of course, i cant i skate skate because i fall every time i see it. Its open on the weekend for all ages. Its quirky, its fun, its eclectic its eclectic. Its different, just like the people in the town. If it really reflected asbury park. If you are a jersey town, what what time would you pick. Anyone not on the list is the ten most dangerous town. Patterson. Patterson, is our you want to go on vacation. Tell me when that happens. I heard you talk about how fun asbury can be. Maybe you should bite your tongue their little bit. So this feels and sounds like you just drove to asbury and read a press release. You have to go through every part of the hotel, jump on the beds, i want to feel this hotel. All right, i think were good. Go jump on the bad. Okay were good, im not jumping on the bed. All the jumping got me hungry. I will have one of everything lets put it on jerry brooks tab night night, i earned this. Leslie and mitch from pennsylvania were so excited to be new parents. All throughout their pregnancy their little girl was totally healthy, passing every exam with flying colors. On december 28 she came into the world and now she is fighting for her life per there was an unexpected issue during her csection and that put her in Critical Condition right away. She was airlifted to the Childrens Hospital of philadelphia and has been there ever since. Every day is a new battle and she is being kept alive by various machines but she is definitely a fighter. Every night leslie and mitch sit by her side and sing her you are my sunshine and read her a book. In addition they pray. Prayer is such a huge part of their life so they took to social media and their home blog asking everyone to pray for the little girl but they still need our help at the machine she is being kept alive on is the referred to as the milliondollar machine. To offset the cost they started to go for me page for the couple. You can visit that at go banh ii. Com or you can visit their home blog called old the fund. My name is bob mccormick. I have an interest in social legal matters but no ax to grind. I followed the bridgewater scandal from the beginning and wish to make some comments rega. They will learn their fates when they are sentenced by the judge after the duo were found guilty on our charges in the bridge gate trial which concluded in november. Now they have an unlikely ally in their corner. Bob mccormick wrote a letter asking the judge to grant them leniency. No one reached out to, this was an unsolicited letter. It was. I have a lot of empathy for people. I really felt strongly that it could easily be abused because people were really out to get christie. It came down to tom river to talk to mccormick who is a retired businessman, but is active and interested and informed pretty followed the bridge gate scandal since it broke wide open in january 2014. I understand there was a problem. Terrible traffic jam. My god, i know the terrible traffic jam, but my goodness, its gotten more than you would say would be proper attention. Eventually they were indicted hes the guy who it was his idea. He was a childhood friend of the governor and people in politics are getting jobs for people all the time. What does mccormick think about kelly and maroney. You are upon in this and i feel sorry for you and i hope that the Justice System feels my sorrow for you to. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time and something happened that they did not cause. They did not cause this. It was crazy political circumstances. Robert doesnt blame the governor for the traffic jam and doesnt think the governor new. In fact hes kind of a fan of Chris Christie and thinks he has done some good things for the state. I dont think he was involved because he is too smart. Hes a very clever guy and a very smart guy and hes done a lot of good things as governor which nobody ever gives them credit for. That remains to be seen, whether or not his letters going to have an impact on the judges decision, but it is interesting to see, an average citizen moves by coverage of a trial to ask someone else to be spared and asking people to feel for them. There was nothing moving about that trial. It serves her right. You cant close the George Washington bridge. First of all and never closed it. They restricted the access plan. It feels like. That bridge always has tons of traffic. Just closing a couple lanes of the nightmare. They didnt close them. They restricted them. The the restricted lanes are nightmare. Or give the guy credit, its always interesting if someone who is not directly impacted just feels like they can get involved in Say Something on someones behalf. I completely understand, theres a bit of a sentimental action on this guys part. Having said that, what are you hearing in terms of sentencing, how much time as she expected to do. They could face up to 20 years but theres no way they are going to get that much because the two of them have no criminal history and thats a large part of what federal judges consider when the sentencing occurs. Thank you. Ready, three, two. Check out these photos of dogs and awkward, uncomfortable, compromising position. If the underdog project to raise attention for animal welfare. Its a creative photography project in a 2017 calendar available. The best way to tell someone you love them is to tease them ruthlessly. Its not every day that a screaming baby warms your heart, but check out this adorable video posted to twitter of a dad holding his beautiful little girl, and it reads, this is what happens when my brother tells my niece she can have a boyfriend. But she still cant have no boyfriend. It was like to more than 60,000 times and i would be crying that hard if i couldnt have a boyfriend either. Instant nose job. When i saw that i thought that might be too good to be true although im perfectly happy with my nose. There is a nose litter device that you can put into your nose and it helps shape it, but, it became really popular last year because a latino blogger posted to youtube how to video. Plenty of people started using it and a person in australia said cut it out because it can cause permanent damage to your nose. There is a new rising star in new jersey so its time for governor christie to move over. s stop. As you have the booker looker fired up. We have him in washington d. C. Booker has reluctantly decided to participate in the official transition of power. Guess whos back to harlem. With every change, harlem is on the rise. This is a great shot for selfies right now. Do we look like a married couple . Thats kind of gross, im sorry. What. Its not just the place have a story we should know about . Help us chase it down by logging onto chasing news. Com tips. Rely on the experts. Diane at the inauguration of the 45th president is only a day and a half away and youve got a story you are chasing with some local reaction. Senator booker, congressman lance, controversy heading into friday. What you have. Of course bill, there is a new new rising star in new jersey so its time for governor christie to move over. Stop, stop, wait, theres a very important thing we have to do. I do. I have to first go to the booker looker, and we have to pinpoint with precision accuracy where senator booker actually is before we can move forward. Okay. Diane, i dont think you are understanding. We live in incredible time and without tools like the booker looker, how can we accurately report the news. If it rhymes, thats all that matters. Before you talk about your chase and what you uncovered, i want to to check in with jason jason. I see you have the booker looker fired up. We have him in washington d. C. It looks like he will be participating at some level in the inaugural festivities. Diana, what you got. Thank you for that, bill. Thats right, theres really only one way to describe senator cory booker lately. He has always been a rock star no matter what he does, he has 2 million twitter followers and a tv show written about him already. He certainly is a politician that captures attention. I think he is a young, rising force of the democratic party. Senator cory booker is all some people can talk about lately. After all, the d. C. This moment moment did you see this moment on capitol hill. He has not demonstrated commitment to a a central requisite of the job, to aggressively pursue the congressional mandate of civil rights, equal rights and justice for all of our citizens. That is when booker became the first sitting senator to testify against another sitting senator. Jeff sessions, who trump has nominated to become the attorney general. Some are are now wondering if booker is really just preparing for a white house run. So booker has reluctantly decided to participate in the peaceful transition of power and be there . Is he going to the the their . Because Bonnie Watson coleman, another representative in new jersey is not going and she is holding a prayer vigil instead in her district. Anyway, are you going . Mi . Yes. I would love too. My going to be watching it on tv . I went to obamas ad inauguration in 2008 and it was a real espresso i think its a shame people dont want to go to it. Just seeing democracy seeing democracy in front of your eyes is amazing. Though many of us woke up this morning and thought just a sweater will do, who really needs that warm winter coat when temperatures are unusually warm for this time of year, in the low 50s and looking ahead, we are looking at temperatures remaining in the low 50s, dropping down at night into the 30s, but im not the meteorologist. Right now i am going to toss it over to our friend Brett Anderson at accuweather. With all this warm weather, does this mean we will see spring a little earlier this year. Wait for the groundhog. We actually have the groundhog in here yesterday but he wouldnt tell us anything. It does look like we will see some spring weather over the next week or two. Unfortunately its pointing toward the return of cold weather in february so i wouldnt be pointing toward spring just yet. Wait a minute, as a meteorologist, you think that groundhog has some accuracy we should be paying attention to . We have our own animal here. We have the pug that comes out every february. He is actually pretty cute. He was in a container there. We couldnt pat him but he was very sedate when he came into the office. But seriously, when do i put on my winter coat, my scarf, the gloves and the whole deal again. I would say january 29, seriously. I love that you make solid prediction. Make solid predictions. January 29. Out what time, brett . So really, by the end of january it will be cold again. What about inauguration day. Not great. It looks like it will be cloudy with some light rain, not a lot of rain but a damp drizzly day. Its going to rain on trumps parade. A little bit, i guess you could say that. Will we see anymore snow. I dont see any snow for the next ten days. Im almost positive of that. Once you get beyond ten days forecasting is a bit dicier. Early february i think the pattern shapes up where we will have opportunity to see snow around much of the state. All right give me a prediction because i like to hold you two days. The january 29 is already written down. Actually, let me put that on the board. When is when is the next big snowstorm . January 29 it is going to be cold. You guys hold me to this every time. February 2, is that that groundhog day. I want to do an over under on which day do you think we will get significant snow. Im going with the groundhog day. We had the groundhog in here yesterday. Whatever that day is protecting its the second usually. Thanks brad. A massives chandelier ins chandelier in the middle of the room, stacks of books floating on the wall. We were whisked away to a fantasy world. This is immune potion so i better not get the flu. See news happening near you . Upload it today and become a citizen chaser. Weight. What. I have to first go to the booker looker. We have to pin. It makes you realize how boring your life is in that i need to get a hobby. What did i say . How life your boring is. That was pretty good. When i heard about this pasta where they make pasta meals in under three minutes, i knew exactly who to take. We didnt have any rooms available so we walked to the corner of white avenue and thats where we found it. To we knock on the door. I feel like you knock on the door. Anyone in their . Only wizards can enter. I have an idea. Ready . This is it. I think we are ready. Lets go. Pasta was just as wizardly as you would imagine, with a massive chandelier in the middle of the room, stacks of books floating is on the wall, we were whisked away into the fantasyland. I knew we had to get to the bottom of this magical world so i found the chief magic maker himself. How in the world do you make pasta in under three minutes. We are wizards of pasta so we cant reveal everything. It comes out very, very delicious. It does. We worked up quite an appetite on our walk over so we needed to figure out quickly which spell we needed to cast in order to make our pasta appear before our eyes. I feel like there has to be a way to make this work. Jillian quickly ordered her pasta, added the meat and toppings, she even threw in an immunity potion, just in case those near mortals were packing on their germs. For me, it wasnt so easy. Honestly, this is really hard, like really. You dont have the wizard touch like i have. Shame. That is wizard shame. I like your hat though. Thank you. Than it was time to see the wizardry in action. They claim to make pasta in under three minutes so lets start the timer they combine the pasta, meat and toppings into the boiling cauldron and then we stood there and waited anxiously i wish i could make pasta that fast at home. Just when i felt we were done, i was with steps upstairs to the wizardly world of confectionery treats. What am i eating. Souffle. The wizard souffle. Oh my god. Oh my god. Why did they choose a wizard theme . Not that we are complaining or anything. Because we really feel like we are magicians with the pasta so wizard, magician, guys who make incredible stuff. Really fast. Its the secret. Of course, of course, we all have secrets, but these are good secrets. Another great night of chasing news. Thanks for watching. Listen, governor christie is old news. Now now senator booker, your ambition is showing. We will be watching. The booker looker, see you tomorrow night. I love it. No excuses, i really have no sympathy for him.
