>> you've editorialized. no, no no no no. listen, you've editorialized. let me answer a question. you asked a question and you say, have your views changed instead of editorializing and saying my views have changed. let's start out with regard to foreign aid. >> in february, rand paul cnbc anchor kelly evans and told her to calm down during an interview. some teens learn to drive from parents, some fra licensed instructors. but the first lady reveals that the secret service taught her daughter malia how to drive. the revelation was made to celebrity chef rachel ray to air tomorrow. michelle obama told ray that the secret service wouldn't let her in the car with malia. she said driving gives her daughter a sense of normalcy with other kids her age. of course when malia drives around the streets of washington there's always a lot of security around. >> i'll bet. right now people across the midwest are cleaning up after

the east. as it does so, it will start to weaken. it will make it into washington in about three hours. so right around 7:00 p.m. so the severe weather threats this evening are very low. we could see high winds as this moves through and maybe some heavy rain. but for the most part severe weather not in the forecast this evening. the temperature right now 50 degrees. by 6:00 p.m., very similar temperature and at that point heavy rain is passing over the i-81 corridor. by 8:00 rain in the d.c. metro area and by 10:00 p.m. showers focused mainly in southern maryland. temperatures at that point will be in the 40s and 50s overnight. now, this is future weather starting you off just after midnight, 1:00 a.m. notice spotty showers after that line moves through, patchy fog overnight tonight tomorrow morning. this is 6:00 a.m. tomorrow tracking areas of rain and drizzle, otherwise cloudy skies, showers likely through 9:00 a.m. then after that, it is looking mainly dry for the remainder of the day as far as showers go. but there certainly could be

some drizzle around still. otherwise, clouds hang and we only warm into the 50s once again. 55 for a high temperature tomorrow in washington, 52 in gaithersburg and 55 degrees for those of you in culpeper. moving ahead to friday where there is a greater risk for severe weather, can't rule out an isolated weak tornado high winds, small hail and heavy rain will move through the area. i'll have more on the timing of that severe weather on friday coming up. but again, this evening the severe weather threat is very low, almost nonexistent. as far as temperatures are concerned on friday, it's hot, it's humid almost, and a high near 80 degrees. on saturday, a high temperature of 67. it's beautiful a little bit breezy. on sunday, plenty of sunshine, still nice, a high temperature of 69. monday and tuesday we're keeping it dry temperatures in the low to mid-70s, chance of some showers and a few thunderstorms next wednesday. but again, coming up in a little bit, i'll have more on the timing of that severe weather

the growing season is longer so we have more pollen. and then we've got more plants that are growing in areas that they never grew in before. and then lastly, being that earth day is coming up with all the climate change that's happening, there's an increase in co2 in the atmosphere. that's plant food. plants will grow heartier and hence put out pollen. so think about this. it's not just mother earth's health that we need to worry about. when the earth changes, our health status changes as well. >> all right. the joys and sorrows of spring and springtime in washington, which some people say is is really bad. >> right. >> thanks a lot, doctor. jim in. >> thank you both. she's going where no woman has gone before ever. pro football's big step forward that's sure to have a lot of folks talking. plus, the social media movement to remember a local high school student. and we dig into the issues that have so many of you reacting to that video of a police officer shooting a man unarmed, running away. we're coming right back.

smile on her face. she was kind and empathetic to every student in the classroom. everybody just loved her. >> i don't know how today will play out. again, i think yesterday was such a big shock and just so unexpected. >> reporter: with the grief comes questions still unanswered. what caused madison's death, and could anyone else be at risk? a statement from loudoun county's health department reads in part this could change, but at this point we have no information that there's a risk to others. just a short time ago, i had a chance to speak with the medical examiner's office. they tell me they are still in the middle of the autopsy process so it is unclear if we will get a cause of death today. in ashburn, back to you. developing right now, the south carolina police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man has been fired. the north charleston police department decided to fire

michael slager after this video surfaced showing slager firing eight shots at walter scott, who died on the scene. the mayor has also announced that he will require every officer on the force in that town to wear body cameras. well, it is the subject of our talk around town today and a lot of people, troy johnson, are clearly disturbed by this video. we showed it just now. we're going to show it to you again. it is very disturbing. >> yes. >> talk a little bit about why your listeners are outraged and what makes this case so different beyond just the video. >> well, jim, first of all, it's a flat-out murder on camera. that's what's resonating with people. we see it unrefutably. we see what's happening in this situation. listeners tell me in recent other cases there hasn't been any concrete information, evidence of this type that we've been able to see. and people have been talking about that specific fact. here it is on camera something we can see. they know that there are bad apples in police departments,

loose cannons in police departments. people have been talking about it those situations for years. but here in the listeners' eyes they tell me it's irrefutable evidence. they're sad because there's a healthy respect for police in the community. but this really points out that there's a national epidemic going on. >> troy murder charges came very fast after this video surfaced. but the justice department is now getting involved. the police chief got very emotional over that video. there have been some questions, though, about whether this would have happened at all without the video and without the ferguson case. >> absolutely. first of all, people are applauding the police chief and the mayor of north charleston for taking quick action. i think that's what's making people feel good about this situation because that's not what has happened in the recent past. of course, you know. sadly, they tell me it's likely it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't seen the video. it's usually the police officer's word against the victim. that's what folks are saying. here is a situation where we know now, because we've seen the video that the police officer planted that taser near the person's body after he shot him.

obviously he was trying to create a situation that led folks to believe that if he called in -- if it hadn't been on camera, we wouldn't have seen it and it would have been a completely different story. >> was there handcuffing involved as well while he was lying there/. >> i don't believe there was handcuffing at that point. maybe he did at the end. but he was also making a call at the same time when he was -- after the shots had been fired. >> this is not the first troy. of course we reported -- this is the second video from police in just the past week. in new jersey police are accused of using force on a man already restrained. philip white died shortly afterwards. what are your listeners saying today about the volume of these cases of violence involving police? >> they're extremely frustrated about this. again, these are not the first cases that we've seen. we've seen these types of situations many different times. now we have this irrefutable evidence. we see quick action. that's what they want to see from now on. people have been protesting, kmraip

complaining, voicing their opinion. even the president calling for sweeping changes. they want to see some of those things happen because these things don't happen in just new jersey and south carolina. they could happen right here in our area. >> touching every region unfortunately of our country. we've seen it. >> absolutely. >> troy, thanks so much for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> pat? a landmark change for the nfl. for the first time in history, a woman has made the starting roster of full-time referees. her name is sarah thomas. she will be a line judge when football season starts this fall. nbc news first talked to thomas two years ago. she's been working exhibition games and has worked the sidelines during some team mini camps. women have been used as replacement refs before but sarah thomas is the first to make the full-time roster. there is less encouraging news about women in everyday society. a new report suggests women continue to have less access to opportunity than men across the board. the institute for women's policy
