next. >> we're back in few minutes with more of the day's top stories stay with us. good morning i'm pat lawson muse. secret service shut down the fence on the south side, there's been concern about jump fencing this stops the possibility of illegal access. gentlemen, this is not an additional barrier and won't obstruct the public's view. what do you think about this. mark let's start with you. >> this is the nickel, diming effect we've had in d.c., little by little, incremental is a better word where incrementally they have taken away public access in front of orro

federal building dating back to the 1990s this is just one more example of that. it's not the most egregious thing the secret service has imposed on the public particularly around the white house it's one more incident moving the public away and restricting further access. >> let's be clear what we're talking about, the national mall side of the white house. east street is the road that used to run from 17th to 15th street and after 9/11 the road itself was closed but there's sidewalks on that section and one of the sidewalks is next to the fence on the mall side of the white house that's the sidewalk they now say can no longer be open if you are a tourist visiting you have to be across the street about 25 feet if you want to the take a picture. the secret service has a

if we sanitize the area. they closed off park of lafayette park. 1600 pennsylvania avenue. it makes it eeasier, not foolproof obviously because people jump those fences, but the secret service is work carefully to move people away from the white house. >> can they take additional steps on the north side. >> the council said you close down the business and it really hurt. there was all kinds of efforts, and secret service said flat out no we're closing all these parks. question is will congr g

be a lotd of blow back or be a lightning of be a lot of blow back. there's obviously a security issue there. >> there is and i would point out on this area there was a man who had a gun not long ago who was shot by secret service agents. so there are real threats that happen and when they get right up against the fence gives someone the opportunity to hop over. >> and possibly get in. >> right. of course there will be people who are upset about this like tom clearly is. >> as an american citizen. >> but i don't think we will see what we saw when they close padilla avenue that dramatically impacted traffic. local life. that was the way to get from georgeto georgetown to capital hill. >>

do all they do. but beautiful part of the south side of the mall where the christmas tree was there and all that, for security reasons they closed to the public, can't drive in there now it's a free parking lot for federal workers if it's a danger, they close our streets and park their cars for free that's not security that's bureaucracy. >> let's talk more about what the shake up means in your neighborhoods, the change in the way officers be assigned throughout the city. tell us what is changing and how it will impact us. >> peter newsome is the interim chief confirm in early may. assistant chief has over seen all seven police districts across the city all patrol officers nearly 4,000 of them

i need someone who can take over that job. he's making it easier by splitting the city in half, the north and south side, with two new patrol chief, that will make sure there's a senior officer more accountable to community groups and also be on the scene if there's crimes they need to respond to the public. >> how is it likely to reverberate. >> that's a big deal because newsome will be in office when mayor bouzer runs for reelection in june. here's the deal, everything she does, policing is one of the most important issues in any negotiate campaign in this to or any other city. and how she does will be a big role how she responds inub

>> what you will look at the entire public safety cluster. mayor bouzer has completely changed the leadership of both the 9-1-1 call center and fire department and d.c. department and communications as well. she's clearly trying to put out a good message, smiley face on the public safety because she knows it's going to be a big issue. how it impacts residents, easier accountability. you have assistant chief now only over seen three. the south side, gets, you know the is the tough side. that's 7-1-6. those are where you have the highest number of violent crimes. homicide particularly. rather than having san assistant chief who is trying to focus citywide for those kind of areas they can narrow their focus and everybody believes that will lead to greater accountali

>> former council member calling for more police officers be an issue if he decides to run against becauser next year he wants to make public safety an issue. >> and diane will be working in your neighborhood. >> she'll be the security official in charge of the wharf $10 million project. 30 restaurants. 5,000-seat arena. she was passed over to be chief. she was going to retire to florida until she got that great job on the wharf she'll be my neighbor now because i live down there. >> all right. we'll be right back. stay with us.

i new on-ramp is good news between the convention center and nation -- entering a new phase. this new onramp is now open who is it going to help. >> this is mostly good news in that people who are trying to get out of downtown d.c. are going find it easier to do so. those heading to north west virginia and people who want to go to north west county. massachusetts avenue leaving from the convention center for the past few years you've had to go through this little -- >> nightmare. >> -- okay. >> it's been a horrible nightmare. >> to get to the 3895. you would have to go down third street. now on saturday they opened a new ramp in the middle of massachusetts avenue so now east

south will go straight on massachusetts anded down like you're going under dupont circle. very easy and stream line to free up people who want to continue on massachusetts avenue to get to route 50 will find it easy to do that as well. the down side are people going east bound on massachusetts avenue. in the past two years have been able to turn left on third and hit the southwest 395 tunnel. that has gonna way. >> you have to drive this to appreciate what you're saying. and we do. when's it going to be done? >> well so this opened yesterday. and this new ramp. the next phase will come in october of this year and that's when that entire intersection on ground that you see orange cones and detour signs, that will all be gone and it will be back to two lanes each direction. the

project 2019 is the finish. >> part of the problem massachusetts and new york avenue apart from the construction every city block major road way has horrific traffic problems particularly in the rush hours morning and night. the city is growing, that's the good news, the bad news is you can't get to where you want to go. >> yeah. moving d.c.'s homeless shelter to apartment buildings to how's homeless families part of a plan to close the d.c. general shelter. for years the city paid tens of millions to put up motels but the administration is accepting builds from landlords willing to lease their building. the mayor is taking a lot of heat from residents and from the council for building shelters throughout the city. so what makes this a better solution? >> well what makes it better than the current solution is what you pointed to, the ten o

millions of dollars that the district pays out annually to house hundreds of families in motels. we've been housing hundreds of families in motels for years. there's homeless families living in these motels for more than a year or two. >> about $8,000 a day for something for the city. >> incredibly expensive because in d.c. unlike maryland, the law is you have the right to shelter. if you come into this town and are homeless you have a right to shelter and they will provide it for you in d.c. and a lost people take advantage of that. so the bouzer administration said let's just lease entire apartment buildings. this was hot button issue. building these family shelters. in all eight boards. that meant resistance from neighborhoods who don't want them in the neighborhood. as well as developers. this good

problem because they want these one block from metro station. >> if there are problems with developers and the mayor has problem, other issues about favoring some developers, if they suddenly own the apartment buildings and get city contract it's just a very difficult thing for her. and the community really doesn't want homeless people living in their neighborhoods and you're going to see a lot of opposition in that. it actually goes into election year. >> do republicans face a ground swell of resistance in november. while analysts saw signs of a trump effect in close races like in kansas and georgia others say all you need to do is read the tea leaves here in our own backyard. specifically race for county cork. >> yeah the democratic won there.

virginia. that and loudoun county on the edge of northern virginia. so democrats are like this is great. but the chairmanman of the republican party say the democratic are just hoping it means something. we have a very interesting race for governor in virginia this year. ed gillespie leading the republicans to win. the governor is being challenged by one-term member of congress who is trying to be the bernie sanders of virginia so there's a lot going on. some are saying it will be a referendum on trump. with the republican convention in cleveland there was no republicans for trump there they were all for marco rubio, ted cruz, jed bush, you name it, they just weren't for trump and they weren't that excited about trump, of course he lost to hillary clinton. i'm not sure it's a referendum at all. >> mark, do

any chance at all that the president will stick his finger into this race? >> well, i think he will weigh in weather by twitter or by personal appearances, absolutely. question is, does he do personal appearances in the southern part where he's more popular or in northern virginia where the president is less popular. one interesting to note about the prince william race is that the republican outraised and spent democrats 6/1. more than $200,000 raised by the republicans and $30,000 raised by is the democratic. we will see a lot of money coming into this virginia race. >> the republicans don't really want trump to cast a shadow over the virginia race. the virginia race has a virginia election.

bernie sanders that only helps with a view voters in the state of virginia. >> yes, gentlemen, thank you. news for today will continue. >> 6:30 on this sunday morning. it's just a drill inside the tunnel between the navy yard and anna costa station starting at 8:30 this morning and be done around 2:00 this afternoon. the green line may experience delays. house speaker says house must pass budget by the deadline. actress erin moran has passed away, the one who played the

the washington, d.c. for todaymay's column i will ta about how churches are finding new and innovative ways to raise money to do what they do. fewer people in d.c. area are going to church. church a n teddance is down and fora lot of congregations, particularly older ones in the region get most of their funding from tithes. this is a church called the church at claredon. it's a baptist congregation ten years ago was trying to figure out ways to keep the doors open while maintaining the old traditional sanctify yourry so they partnered to build apartments on top of the church. other church is arlington temple united method toist chief in rosalynn they came in the 60s

office workers in the area and so they opened a church. they realized the best way to keep it going financially was to put something on the bottom floor and after a long time of trying to figure out who their ground floor tenant would be they were finally approached by a gas station. so today this might be the only church you can drive into and buy gas from. this allows them to not only keep their doors open and keep doing what they're doing but provide opportunities for other people to live or to work or even buy a tank of gas. i know when i was growing up i would dread getting dressed to go somewhere to go to church as a kid, i can imagine couple people here in their jammies on sunday morning services. >> great. services on sunday morning.

on congress with full republican control i don't buy this idea that we're in for some showdown the problems the republicans have is they're trying to drought democratic in and democratics are like it's on you. you deal with it on your own. you want to the mess with things, we're not going to cooperate. good luck. i think they think the leverage calendars have is that calendar. day 99 is midnight. day 100 under no scenarios this president will have a shut down. >> at the same time president trump now calling it ridiculous. the 100 day mark. isn't there a level of symbolism to say hey i checked a box. i did something. that's why director came out and said we're willing to compromise if you give us some money for this border wall. >> and there's no doubt they now

the signature legislative accomplishment. where every can look back and say they did x. president obama granted $100 billion stimulus package in his first 100 days. obviously not having that the one thing they did make the health care effort failed so there's a bit of a scramble. i think the president will hope his rolling out of the tax reform plan, just rolling it out on day 97 which is this wednesday that that will serve as hey see momentum is coming. i think ultimately they will use that as their way of saying see we're still pushing the ball forward. pay no attention to the fact health care is not done yet. >> got another big show coming up at 9:00. >> meet the press. catch chuck at 10:30 rig
