Again High Pressure and kicking those winds out of the south here for the next couple of days is going to allow temperatures to warm up so mid to upper 50s later today. And then temperatures will be near 60 by tomorrow with nice forecast here the next couple of days. First day of winter on thursday. Little cooler by thursday with some rain showers next weekend. Well talk about that, too. All right erin, your turn. How are roads this morning. Right now we have a water main break. One lane getting by in either direction.

A christmas story live resumed for some more holiday hilarity [laughter] im like that. I did like that. Holiday hilarity. Did make you laugh. 6 18. Twitter crackdown. The social media site will start enforcing new rules tomorrow that will suspends accounts affiliated with hate groups. Details ahead in this mornings business beat. A big week on the hill with tax reform. Plus twitter will begin enforcing new rules tomorrow that target hate groups. First though a quick check of the markets. Joining us is hillary vaughn. All the way from l. A. Good to talk to you today. Reporter good to see you. Big day on wall street closing out on friday closing at 24,651. Getting close to the next 25,000 milestone. The nasdaq added 80 points. S p 500 up 23 closing at 2675. Soak. Meantime the nation is bracing for what could happen with tax be on the president s desk by the weekend. Reporter right. He promised big tax plan, big tax cut for christmas and congress is trying to get that for him. Were expecting the house to vote on this on tuesday and if it can get through the senate and land on the president s desk by friday then he can follow through on that promise but we did get the final text of the tax plan late on friday. So, if you missed it heres some of the new items for single filers. Theres seven tax brackets total eliminates the personal deduction also [inaudible] it caps state and local Tax Deductions to under 10,000 but it does expand the Child Tax Credit to 2,000 and it also eliminates the individual mandate for Health Insurance penalized if you dont want to buy it. Thats probably the more controversial part of the plan as well. So, it will be interesting to see how this goes through but Congress Says they are looking for a big win and they think they wont have a problem passing this. Last but not least twitter doing something to stop all the hate thats out hillary . Reporter its a big crackdown on hate speech but youre right how do you implement this . Pretty tricky. They have two new rules. If your account is used to abuse badger bully people or promote violence against a person theyll suspend your account. If your account is associated with what they perceive to be a hate group, someone that promotes violence against an individual or a group then you can also be suspended but how do you go about implementing this . Right. Reporter its really a judgment call by twitter to decide what they think is okay and what isnt and theres going to be a lot of controversy mark my words when someones account gets taken down or someones account doesnt get taken down and then twitter is left to answer all these questions of why. So, its a good thing but a lot of people wanted to see this crackdown or them to do something about it but it is putting twitter in some tricky waters of having to explain and just if i who is be on line or who is suspended. Youre so subjective. Youre right. I will brace myself. You know what, hillary i do like the fact that they are trying to do something, you know what i mean . I do like that. Reporter right. So, well see what happens. Reporter right. And thats a lot of people have been asking them for awhile to step up and do something, so at least they are stepping up to the plate but well see how they handle it from here. While theyre at it, an edit function would be good. Okay, im done. Thats my rant. I hate how you cant edit. You have to take the whole thing down you have six likes or posts. Hillary ill see you later. I feel you on that one. Have a good one. Can they just not i second your and then you feel jokey because at first its spontaneous. Then it never goes awa
