>> i am excited i don't live and have to drive through that area. i think the anxiety is what's really looming large. you saw both chief of police at public meetings say, look, pack your patience, at least for the first 30 days before you work out the kinks, there's going to be some bumps in the road. we're going to double the amount of traffic to you drive that every day, pat. it's going to be tough in the beginning. >> the sure bet is there is a great deal of excitement for economic development, this casino in prince george's county, one of the biggest thing to take credit for as county executive. the problem is, when this was first decided they were going to

supposed to be a related transportation plan. that transportation plan was just done months ago instead of years ago. i'm a gamblers, i go once every three years to atlantic city. i'm looking forward to going there. i'm not going there until next spring or next summer because i think mark is right. it's going to be a traffic nightmare. they ought to do online betting when people are online to get there. >> do you think there's a possibility that with all of the publicity and warnings a traffic and fears expressed that maybe some people will say i'm not going to go and stay away and won't get chaotic. >> gamblers go. >> i don't think people -- let me disagree with tom. >> ten people will not go because of traffic. packed with people from virginia. they have no outlet in virginia. millions of people in virginia want to go gamble without going some else. >> they won't all be gambling. >> people will go and traffic will be bad.

saw this when people were going to the outlets, it was a nightmare. here is what we know in the past. when we have big events in this region like around nationals ballpark or inauguration, fourth of july, this region does that on a regular basis. >> people adjust. >> people adjust. you're going to hear it on the radio, papers, on tv, and they are going to know in advance. it's not like this is coming out of the blue. yes, it's going to be bad. but i think what we have learned in the past for these big events, because there's so much anxiety and ramping up awareness that sometimes, hopefully -- >> fedex field game, huge traffic, they don't want to wait, they want to go bam bell. mgm knows exactly who their audience is. >> two words, water taxi.

majority. listen, heading into the weekend, chaos at metro, controversial proposal cutting hours and controversial proposal to cancel the silver line. is this all politics? >> listen, this is serious politics. as board of trade says, metro is the spine of the region. it goes into every jurisdiction in our region and it's dying. it's shriveling. they don't have enough money to run it. the metro board going to cut back hours even more so they will have more time to work on the rails. late night people are out of luck. >> even if the majority of the board members vote in favor of something, if the two members from either of the four jurisdictions vote against it, those two can overrule the other six. you talk about threats on the silver line, this is, again, d.c. delegation, what councilmembers brought up the other day.

virginia and maryland have about 20 each. and so most of the stops are in d.c. councilmembers are now saying for the bus route what the jurisdiction, d.c. bus routes, maryland to virginia. why don't we do that for subway as well. that's what they are saying d.c. no longer wants to fund or pay into anything that helps -- >> the mayor's representative on the board, turnaround don't go forward with the silver line. >> it's almost half done. >> part of the problem is virginia, state of virginia, the governor and legislators don't want to spend money on metro. in richmond they don't care. even the chairman of metro said if you complete the silver line out to dulles, we just won't put cars on it. we can't afford it. we need operating funds. this is a mess.

it, lower income people. there are people talking about suing metro because they are going to cut hours of late night worker, early morning workers, won't be able to use it. >> what about restructuring the board or full-court press of business leaders and others to lobby state leaders in virginia? >> one, restructuring the board so it won't be u.n. where each group has a vet okay, that's under way but that's a long-term got to get both maryland and virginia legislature and the district. the whole idea you just get more done, paul weatherfield wants to get more things done. >> he wants to get back to good. >> fair might be good enough for us. >> one of the wild cards here is president-elect donald trump who had said one of the things he wants to do is put more money toward infrastructure. that is one thing democrat mayor bowser, terry mcauliffe and

around saying we're with you on that. >> more about highways. >> true. this is a guy who fixed the ice skating rink in new york city. he can wrap his head around a metro system and understand benefits of businesses. he's got a hotel right on top of a metro station basically that he knows benefits. his employees get to work every day at the trump hotel. so they are hopeful maybe president t m >> a lot more pain if this is all played out. >> 1% sales tax for the region. >> virginia says no to that. >> it's not settled.

. shelters for d.c. residents only? the mayor proposing only d.c. residents be allowed into the city's homeless shelters. they opened shelters year around guaranteeing families could get off the street, especially when temperatures are freezing. why such a tough stance? >> $80,000 a day, that's the bottom line. that's what the district has been saying today, months, a year or two to keep families in hotels in d.c. and maryland. as you said, d.c. has a law you have a right to shelter. it's the most liberal law in the jurisdiction if not the country. if it's freezing and you show up on the doorstep they can't refuse shelter. the mayor expanded that to year-round to avoid the crush in winter rush. an economic burden on taxpayers of columbia because as the mayor

of shelters are not d.c. residents. >> this question, if you're homeless, how do you prove you're from the district. >> right now it's a low barrier. when you show up at the virginia williams center for shelter whether a single male, female or family it's a low barrier, a very compassionate system. there are hundreds if not thousands of people on the streets. the district has done an amazing off the street into shelters but stable, affordable long-term housing. a success story in the district. the problem is the price tag. $80,000 a day just for those hotels. >> the other problem is that people in the city will say they don't like to say publicly what i'm about to say, maryland and virginia, suburbs maryland and virginia while they do some homeless work they don't do nearly enough and they don't have laws like the district does, a right to shelter, so

because they know -- people need help but this is a regional problem not just city problem and should be more, council of government doing about it, ought to be more. even charitable groups come in from the suburbs to feed homeless downtown. are there programs like that in the suburbs? if there are let's have more of them. >> the city is also again this year not allowing those emcampments. >> that's what they said. last year we went through this where tent encampments went up, primarily under the freeway. more than 100 people living there last year and last summer. in the beginning district's department of human services director said we're not going to criminalize being homeless. we're not going to force these people out. but then it became a health issue. the department of health stepped in and said, look, there's no sanitation, we can't have it.

they will out. most made their way to shelters or affordable housing. they put up fences so they couldn't come back. what we have now they are across the street on the other side of the freeway. just the other day the mayor told me, her own words, we will not allow this persist and plan to put them out again. >> like squeezing a balloon. crack down here, people go there. it's like chasing the solution. >> can we talk about residency requirements. they are tightened for people looking for affordable housing in a city that's basically unaffordable. >> that's the law the mayor is proposing to change. d.c. council would have to approve. we heard from some councilmembers that said what tom said. maryland and virginia have to pull their own weight. councilmembers like robert white, we're a city flush with

people who are coming back to d.c. who don't have proof of residency are people who grew up in d.c., maybe returning from prison, hard times and recession elsewhere in the country, mental health issues, coming back to the area, can't prove they are from here and will end up being turned away. the council has to approve this. most likely hearing, may not be until next year we may have movement beefing up requirements to show proof of they are being tough on homeless people who already have a tough situation. you also -- the caregiver has to take care of the caregiver. the city in a position to help people. despite what the councilmember said. there are legitimate restrictions on what the city can do. >> one of the nation's most generous paid family leave laws could soon become law in the district. the council takes that up.

eight weeks to take care of a sick parent or grandparent. some people would get up to 90% of their salaries. >> up to $1,000 a week. >> tell us about support and opposition to this and how it would work. >> as you can imagine the business community is not in favor of this. they will be taxed .62 increases on the tax. federal employees would not be covered in this nor would d.c. government. >> or out of town businesses. >> or out of town but if you live in maryland or virginia and work in the district at a private employer you would be covered by this. make of the opposition saying why are we taxes d.c. businesses to give a benefit, the majority of the benefit go to virginia residents. >> paid family leave, whether in the federal government, it's coming. it's one of these things that's happening. you start out at 16 weeks. the district government already

employees, but it's very costly. the business community says you take paid family leave, $15 an hour minimum wage and you proposing now you can't ask perspective employees what your salary is. that's seen as sex discrimination. women are paid less. you can't ask that. there's a bill to require businesses to schedule their part-time workers weeks in advance. the business community across the board is saying the council is putting too many restrictions on >> the workers are not complaining at all about a proposal. >> one of the things supporters are saying, hey, look, yes. maybe more people in maryland and virginia will benefit but that's exactly the case with the $15 minimum wage. >> all right. thank you, gentlemen. thank you and thanks for being

-- vice president elect coming on the show. i assume he'll answer the question, does president-elect trump want to change the nature of the relationship with china. there are quite a few tough on china advocates, who have been wanting closer ties with taiwan. whether that was the intention that president-elect trump had or not, i think -- i'm curious to see what the answer is from mike pence. >> i think to understand the significance of this phone call, why is china so important to the united states. >> we have this one china policy, this tough economic rivalry of sorts with china. but it is -- i empathized with what trump tweeted, wait a minute, we're not supposed to talk to taiwan but we sell them arms. an outsider comes in, makes

these protocols seem a bit sly. obviously china that's it seriously. they have for decades taken the threat of taiwan very seriously. so it will be interesting to see how the chinese react to this in three months. >> he, of course, ran on the campaign of draining the swamp here in washington. he doesn't seem to be doing that. he's got -- >> how do you define what the phrase means? i think it means different things to different people and >> okay. >> that's the problem. we don't know what he means. does he mean no lobbyists? >> what do you make of this? >> when you look at it, i look at it two ways. you have the mike pence picks, which are the ones with washington connections. you really can't split the group up into two groups, the ones that don't have washington ties,
