6:16 am
will be really happy. >> these are some of the worse bottlenecks in our area. it's called a multimow dal system or corridor. over the fourth of july weekend, i went down 95 south and with no traffic anywhere else, when you hit wood bridge, you are stiem mid -- stymied until stafford. >> you never know what's going to happen if you travel that route. >> i think you are right. they are saying the govern says they will be ready to start these construction impacts. i've been driving that stretch of road since i started driving from richmond to d.c. i remember being able to get from
6:17 am
now it is a two-hour drive from here to richmond. that wood bridge area, stafford county, the southern end of this extension would be into stafford, into that area. i'm left wondering, i think about the express lanes that are already there and we still see that congestion, that bottleneck that happens sort of as you get toward the end of the express lanes, just making it longer sort of -- does that really relieve the congestion or does it make it farther down 95 and does that really help anything? >> it's often just volume. sometimes there's an accident, but often just volume. >> yeah. >> the new rail lines would speed up amtrak and freight trains. there would be better bus service. if you can get more people off the road and on to the trains faster, theoretically that should help. >> it should. commuters will like the idea that doing some railroad bridge work across the potomac would
6:18 am
enable them to add some v.r.e. service which would be a huge relief and a huge way to get people into the district if that was something folks would want to do which could mean more money economically. one of the other improvements that fascinates me. i'm fascinated by driverless cars. they are talking about putting down new pavement. it's an innovative design that would allow this hands off the wheel driving along that corridor. i don't know about that for me but it certainly would be a step forward into the next century for commuters. >> if any place needs it, it's 95 south, and then, of course, they got to address 66 at some point too. >> safe track surge, the next phase, no major meltdowns so far. safe track has impacted the blue
6:19 am
stations between braddock road and the airport and then phase 4 begins on tuesday. so this will be -- there will be 11 more to go after the next phase begins. >> well, this one is, what, 50,000 daily commuters affected to reagan national. all those travelers coming into town who are going to be surprised. not happily surprised. and then when this is done, mid july they continue from reagan on to pentagon city so the whole northern virginia corridor and that's 86,000 daily commuters. so they are going to be suffering now with this for quite a while. >> aaron, the way it's going depends on who you talk to. you talk to one commuter. they say well, it's inconvenient, i'm late for work, but we need the improvements. we need the safety addressed. you have others saying i can't deal with this. i heard a woman on the radio said i'm not going to work today because i can't take that commute. >> metro t

6:25 am
sit in and these parents are outside change -- staging this protest. was there an audience? >> there was an audience. the press covered it and the public gets to see it. the question is did they have an impact on congress. they were inspired by the historic sit-in. they believed this was the time for something to be done so they wanted to mobilize. also, inside the rotunda at the same time, there were family members who lost loved ones to gun violence and they were protesting. six of them were arrested because you are not allowed to protest inside the capital. nardine lost a 16-year-old daughter to gun violence in 2010. some people called this a stunt. they said a stunt? she lives with t

an ak-47 killed my daughter. this is not the america i grew up in. >> do you get the sense that people feel is anybody listening? there's so much happening in d.c. we've had killings in alexandria, i think the fourth of july so far this year. >> the short answer is no. i think people feel as though they are not seeing anything change in the communities in a lot of cases, and, you know, in our city councils and state legislatures and even on capitol hill, so as a result when something happens, when there's an incident, there's another protest, there's another rally, interests another effort to get people to pay attention to the real life pain that people are having to deal with as a result of gun violence and then there's a conversation about what do we do? what's the sensible gun laws that people -- the term
6:27 am
how do you change something. what needs to be change and the conversation happens around that for a while and we had the same conversations after orlando and not much changed. >> if we can add something positive, this past week, we had a man showing support for a shooter and the fbi talked with them. they took the man. he fired the weapon on the range. they disabled it and the fbi arrested him. now, blue ridge arsenal has invited us in a number of times. i've interviewed and they have said although we sell guns, no one in this gun store wants to see gun violence continue. >> there's a positive. >> if there's an effort being made, it sounds like places like that is where we're seeing an effort to try to find a balance between making sure t
6:28 am
not a lot more unnecessary violence and still they have a business interest in selling their product too. one might argue if there were more places like that, that were willing to have that sort of attitude and make that sort of effort and there is an effort, a real effort being made there, maybe the problem wouldn't be as crushing as it is. >> no waiting -- no wading in the water. it's a topic of heated debate. it's hot. people chose to take a dip in the rainbow pool in the world war ii veterans memorandum rorl. it's very disrespectful in the few of others. what do you all think about this? >> i defer to aaron. he's been on facebook on this issue. >> i posted a story about this on monday on my facebook page and i offered my opinion which i don't normally do, on this one, i felt like i could talked about at the reality that people would
6:29 am
this as a memorial to 400,000 people who died in world war ii and the 16 million who fought and a lot of people agreed with that, that it was disrespectful to be wade be around in this water, splashing around having fun in what is supposed to be a place where there's supposed to be reflection a> but to your point, aaron, the

evoke solemnity, it's full of life. the fountains dance. there's water, there's life, there's light, so it's sort of enticing to people. >> the park service will tell you this is not an issue with which they are not familiar. this is something that they deal with at locations around the d.c. region and across the country at memorialize and monuments, they want people to be find that balance being a visitor and tourist and also being respectful to the purpose of those monuments, but they are inviting and you want to stop and take pictures. you good down to the world war ii memorial, and you ftd your state and you want to take the picture with the pillar that has your state name on it. the question is where is the line, how far do you go to enjoying something that's supposed to be

6:43 am
clinton and donald trump with how they are going to react to this. what's your take away with them? >> that's what makes us weak, i think. it adds to the difficulty. this is already a traumatic week for america. the country feels unsettled and unnerved and here we are in the middle of a presidential election and our two choices are hopelessly poll lar rised people, and you are thinking if the first black president couldn't unify on this issue, how about these two? rou they going to do it? to me adds to the hopelessness of this feeling right now that we're -- we're not just divided, we're hopelessly divided and we shouldn't be, and i think we probably can get out of that, but right now we don't have the presidential candidates, neither one of whom feels they have the touch on this. >> president obama is cutting his trip overseas short to come back and visit dallas and pay his respects. he wa
6:44 am
comment on how he thinks he's going to be remembered when it comes to dealing with race relations and he said that he wanted to leave that to historians. is this going to be a defining part of his term? >> i believe race is going to be a defining part of his term. the first line of the bioography -- maybe it will be nonwhite president rather than first black president. but to judge how he's handles race or anything, look, i think in time we may look at president obama's term and say the election of the first black president surfaced divides that were still there, but we were sweeping under the rug for a long time, and i think we've surfaced the divide and the question is, all right, how are we going to handle it now and truly get rid of it? before we sort of -- like a crack in your foundation, instead of fixing it, you painted ov
6:45 am
years, you could make that argument. i think that's why i think president obama is right. leave it to somebody else, because we don't know in 20 years we may look back and say, boy, that's the moment we needed to surface the divide again so that we could ultimately actually fix the foundation than just pain over it. >> how many shootings has he had to deal with? once a month at least. >> there is a stat about flags at half-staff. he's issued more executive orders to lower the american flag, to order the flags being lowered to half-staff than any other president. >> unbelievable. >> you have charles ramsey. former philadelphia police member, he's in charge of the president's task force on policing. they just issued their second roubed -- round of recommendations about six weeks ago. >> okay. great. a lot of great conversation happening on "meet th

>> the threat of zika keeping fans and some competitors away is not reflected on prices. bank rate researched hotel prices, flights, and tickets to the games. let's start with air fare. it's a long flight. >> depends on how much comfort you want to have along the way. we're talking about a minimum of $1,000 round trip per person. >> when it comes to hotels, bank rate says they are expected to be mark up at least 400% with the priciest hotels near olympics sports venues. when it comes to attending olympic events, don't assume all olympic packages includes the games tickets. it's likely an added expense. be careful who you buy tickets from. >> where i worry is going through third parties or scammers. it's essentially the same as buying tickets off the street an
6:50 am
right? there really is one major way to purchase tickets to this event and this is through the authorized ticket reseller. >> and that authorized ticket reseller is the website cosports. tickets to the games don't come cheap. bank rate found tickets to opening and closing air -- ceremonies can cost between $300 and $2,000. women's gymnastics final, $276. women's and men's swimming, $178. men's basketball final as much as nearly $600, and remember those are single tickets. >> it's not going to be cheap to spend a week in rio, trying to pay for the entire trip to attend the summer olympics. it's going to cost a minimum of $3,000 to $4,000. >> that's probably why it's every four years.
6:51 am
>> it's expensive. my goodness. >> this is an example of a trip you might want to consider getting travel insurance for. it typically runs 5 to 7% of the cost of the trip. it's a couple hundred extra dollars. make sure you understand what's covered and what's not. this is a good time to read the fine print. absolutely. >> 6:51, new this morning, at least three people suffered head injuries on the fourth day of the running of the bulls in spain. no one was gored, so that's good news. slips and falls were frequent by the starts of the some people were stampeded by the 1,300-pound animals. the bull run was completed at a standard pace of 2 minutes. all that in 2 minutes. >> no thank you. i mean, just -- i get it -- >> it's more exciting on video. >> i get the thrill of it, running away from the bulls. i would rather be comfortably on the side watching everything take place. >> and today we're going to have the running of the
