that into context. we have some breaking news on another shake-up for the trump administration. the president's nominee for labor secretary. here are the four things to know in politics today. puzder released a statement withdrawing himself from consideration to lead the labor department. lawmakers concerned about the fast food executive have included his minimum wage stance, his employment of an undocumented housekeeper and a domestic violence scandal. his wife accused him of abuse on the oprah winfrey show back in 1990. winfrey provided a senate committee with tapes of that show that week. he has denied the allegations and his ex- has recanted his story. the

flynn, flynn, chuck schumer is calling for an investigation on discussing the sankdss with russia's ambassador. maryland's lawmaker is bracing for possible legal action against the white house and its policies. the general assembly passed a resolution that gives maryland's attorney general the ability to sue the trump administration without getting permission from the governor first. democrats who approved the bill are worried about the potential repeal of the affordable care act. republicans say the move violates maryland's constitution. and president trump had his first meeting with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and a big shift in decades of u.s. foreign policy regardless israel came out of their news conference. scott mcfarland has details. >> good afternoon, more on that in a moment, but first president trump did not shy away from the controversy that surrounds his former national security adviser michael

and the leaks that led to mr. flynn's resignation. >> i think it's very, very unfair what's happened to general flynn, the way he was treated, and the documents and papers that were illegally -- i stress that -- illegally leaked. very, very unfair. >> in his third consecutive news conference, president trump refused to take a question from a major traditional news outlet. instead, from conservative leaning outlets. as far as the president's feelings toward israel, he did ask prime minister netanyahu to hold back on more settlements in the west bank and he seemed to be open to changing his so-called two-state solution in the region. >> i'm very happy with the one that both parties like. i can live with either one. i thought for a while, the two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two, but honestly, if b.b. and if the --

one they like the best. >> and the president also touched on the issue of racism during that news conference. an israeli reporter asked about growing anti-semitism in the wake of the u.s. election, and the president said he'll do everything in his power to stop long simmering racism. >> thank you, from israel to puzder, to michael flynn, there's a lot of ground to cover today when it comes to the trump administration. we'll get you caught up with news 4 tracie potts at the white house at the bottom of the hour. first at 4:00, a key gun ruling. today the republican-led senate voted to block a regulation from the obama administration that involved guns and the mentally impaired. the regulation prevents people from mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm. today the senate voted to revoke that. those supporting that change say the rule was too broad and

i get pain in my lower back and like many people, i reach for an anti-inflammatory drug or muscle relaxer. you say that's wrong. why? >> what the american college of physicians found for acute back pain, it doesn't matter what you do, it's going to get better the same way. they looked at what worked and what didn't and they found out it doesn't make a difference. >> so there are three recommendications under the new guidelines. so what should i do when that muscle spasm hits me? >> acupuncture works well, that's because your body makes its own anti-inflammatories. exercise and yoga is another great idea. keep the mobility and flexibility, so you decrease injury. stress reduction also works. whether that's mindfulness or biofeedback. the message is, don't pop a pill, take these physical things as maintenance therapy. >> of course you feel sometimes

so couldn't get to an acupuncturist. >> then be mindful. >> and if you do take medication, dr. jackie, the guidelines say you should stick to nsaids. >> yes, it works better than tylenol. but people with asthma in particular, it can trigger. people can can get stomach upset and bleeding from their gi tract. nasal polyps, and some people are allergic and will break out in hives. >> now the other thing to remember about back pain is that it's not always caused by the problem you think it is. back pain can actually be caused by or worsened by other conditions. >> that's right. asthma is a great one. if you have back pain, your asthma actually can get worse, because you're not moving around so much. but asthma itself can make your back pain worse, because it's difficult to breathe, and you can't take a full breath either. another go one is heart disease. some people will have

that chest pain that radiates to the back. certainly we know that for gal bladder disease or reflux, sometimes you get a back pain between the shoulder disease. kidney disease is a pain in the lower back. and lastly, arthritis, if you've decreased your mobility overall, it's going to be difficult for you to exercise and make your arthritis better. >> this is a huge problem, which is why the american college of physicians issued these guidelines. >> that's right. 25% of us in the last three months, have had some form of back pain. it's one of the biggest reasons why people will go to the doctor. it costs $100 billion. that's why we're really trying to get people to pay attention, because this is lost productivity, lost people going to work and doing their thing. so it affects a lot of people. the message again is stop popping the pills for pain. and really think of these acupuncture biofeedback, yoga, as maintenance therapy. do this

treat the back pain before it happens. >> all righty, dr. jackie, thank you. feel better already. chris? >> like it or not, your favorite restaurant could be abruptly shutting its doors. why so many of d.c.'s favorite spots will be closing tomorrow and it's not because of bad business. take a live look outside on a windy wednesday afternoon. doug's about to join us with the returnf the chill. o

it's going to be a cold night and a very cold start to the day tomorrow. 41 right now, gaithersburg, 37 in winchester. and 40 up toward hagerstown. nothing on the radar, not going to see any rain or snow, although we did see some sprinkles earlier. this is what we saw this morning, rain that come through parts of the southern zone. and look at this moisture coming through here. this is lake-effect and enhanced by an area of disturbed weather in the upper levels of the atmosphere. that's coming through here and giving us that colder air. speaking of colder air, look at the current windchills. we're at 36 now for a windchill in d.c., 22 in pittsburgh in state college and again, it will continue to get colder as we move through the rest of the night. the cold is now here. it's entrenched for about the next day or so. but watch what happens here. the cold, sitting here with this deep troth of low pressure, all the way down towards the mid atlantic and the carolinas. it moves out so quickly. behind it, a nice big ridge moves

temperatures, we get back into the 60s for an extended period of time. it stays mild all the way through next week. at least temperatures in the 50s or 60s on the way through next week. wait until you see the seven-day forecast. 39 degrees tomorrow, sun and clouds, windy and cold. windchills most of the day in the 20s. thursday will be cold for you as you move out. if you're heading to the bus stop, you'll need the coats, the hats, the gloves. it will be quite chilly. 37 degrees around recess time and 39 by around 4:00 in the afternoon. here's the ten-day. back to 50 on friday, look at this, extremely mild for the next five days. saturday, sunday, monday. presidents day weekend looking nice. tuesday and wednesday, tracking a system, could be a little cool, but we stay in the 50s even through the end of next week. so the mild air really wants to stick around. and we're going to talk much more about this and

you're watching news 4 at 4. president trump welcomed another world leader to the white house today, but the focus was on someone who is no longer at the white house. former national security adviser mike flynn. tracie potts has the story. >> reporter: good afternoon from the white house where the president met with israel's prime minister today. that was supposed to be the big news for this administration, but he is facing tough questions about ties with russia. >> i think it's very, very unfair what's happened to general flynn. >> reporter: president trump defending the national security adviser he asked to resign, but not addressing "the new york times" report that the fbi tracked phone calls between trump campaign aides and russian intelligence while russia was being investigated for trying to influence the election. instead the president today attacked the media and leaks from inside his administration. >> the documents and

were illegally -- i stress that -- illegally leaked. it's criminal action -- criminal act. >> reporter: classified information being given out like candy. >> the question of leaks is implicated here, but there are far bigger fish to fry. >> reporter: like russia's influence during the election, general flynn's connections to russia and why the president waited weeks to act after knowing flynn could be subject to blackmail. top democrats are demanding a full timeline from the white house and they want jeff sessions off the case. >> if this trail leads to the oval office, the person investigating that trail should not be the same person who helped put president trump there. >> reporter: intenother panels investigating, but democrats worry the republican-led committee won't dig deep enough

for an independent investigation. >> thanks. cory johnson is here with today's talk around town. we keep seeing accusations of fake news and alternative facts emanating from the white house. what are you listeners most concerned about? >> they're really telling me they're concerned about whether this is a posturing situation by this white house, or a play to side step a level of accountability that should be happening in their point of view. when there's really a lot of issues on the table that they want to be hearing about. people were saying that this is an stragedz that is worki-- administration that is working to govern after an extremely contentious campaign. and something the president seems to reference on a daily basis. he talked about the campaign again with benjamin netanyahu at the white house today. there's also a concern when they see april ryan, one of the only reporters t

asking questions pertaining to policy when it comes to black america, not being able to ask follow-up questions during a press briefing. she quipped she should be allowed to because it's black history month. but they see their voices being marginalized. one listener saying there's a sense that the president and his advisers are tone deaf when it comes to black america. >> that's april ryan in the green jacket. she recently had a fall-out with omagh rosea and they used to be good friends. >> there was an argument between the two women, steps away from sean spicer's office. mana gal has accused ryan of accepting money from the clinton campaign to garner favorable coverage during the race for the white house. ryan is denying any wrongdoing. she's

a dossier on her and other black journalists and she's out to smear her reputation. there's also word some of the heated exchange was recorded and shared with some journalists and april ryan cmaintains part of i may have been edited. i spoke with the former publisher of usa today, and he tells me it's notable we haven't seen this type of contention between the white house and the press in decades. while the clash between april ryan and omarosa is unfortunate, he said it should serve as a reminder to all joushlists about their -- journalists about their responsibility to pursue the truth. >> the cornerstone of a healthy democracy is the media. i would bet that this is going to make her double down and be even more dogged in her pursuit of truth. and i would think the same thing applies to other journalists of color. this is about the work. what you do, you put your head down and you go and do

and i have every confidence that they will continue to do so. because there's going antibiotic a lot to write about. >> chris, i asked him if he thought journalists were doing a good job three weeks into this situation. he says no. he says he thinks they're a bit off-balance. they haven't recovered and figured out how to deal with this president, even going back to the campaign. so there's a lot of work still that needs to be done. >> there's obviously some feeling-out going on, on both sides. are your listeners more attuned to the white house or less so compared to the years when president obama was in office? >> i get the feeling that they are even more in tune. and it's in a different way. people are raising comments and questions about policy that's happening with this presidency. i've seen people sharing press briefings and confirmation hearings on social media. they're engaged. which is a good sign. that's good news for people who do what we do, because we bring people information that they need to make relevant judgment about what's happening. t

be an important dialogue that's happening, and one person said, just to prove that they're being more engaged, reminded me that don't forget that election day is november 6, 2018. so a lot of people are already marking their calendars and as they take in some information about the early stage of the campaign. >> it will be here before we know it. >> absolutely. >> thank you, troy. there's so much that we're tracking in terms of president trump's first 100 days. we've established a special page to open up our app and search 100 days. and another big-name retailer is facing boycott for carrying products connected to president trump. several community groups are pressuring wegmans to stop selling wine from trump's vineyard in virginia, according to "the washington post." the wine is
