6:15 am
lawson muse. as the immigration story continues to unfold at the u.s., mexicanbo er, we have seen them ordering recall of national guards. tro governor northam calls it inhuma governor hogan called on them to fix the broken system. joining us, aaron gilchrist, chris warren. thank you forei here. we have seen the two mbers of congress, northern virginia juvenile detention commission say we're not going to provide beds for unaccompanied minors. there are a lot of people talking about it. atlot of immigrant residents here. the sense you get about the impact hereas inngton?
6:16 am
>> i think it is the same in our area that you see across the country. you're seeing communities galvanize by this. they're seeing families separa pd. seeing somple with families in maryland andirginia who have relatives effected by this there at the border because oan in policy. aaron and i were rarking even the airlines now say they don't want t fly anyone impacted by this. >> and the policy in effect since april. we knew about it, now we're tting a picture, imagery of children appearing to be in such despair, notion of some kids ph fically takenm parents is something that galvanized people in a way we haven't seen on many issues in a while. every entity that can make a statement to say i disagree with
6:17 am
this, i believe this is wrong, the notion of separating small children frots par is something that won't stand. you have the governors of maland a virginia saying we didn't give a ton of resources to this atheborder, we're going to pull back what we can. companies are doing theco same. unities getting together, holding protests and rallies just to say this won't stand. then you get members of congress who obviously have a hand in legislating, can do things from that perspective. you saw democts go to th border, get turned away at some of the i.c.e. facilities, and here trying to show up to say what's what, we see going on, we are trying to talk to people, trying to dog, someth if nothing being present and talking about it. >> and i think lally there's no down side. governor hogan distanced himse from trump almost from the get go. there's no down side for him to
6:18 am
publicly buff the president's policy. obviously youraave a demc governor of virginia, no down side there either. i thinkn this area, especially maryland and northern virginia, the opposition against the licy is pretty widespread. >> this past wk we saw election in the district. voters said tipped workers deserve a raise. initiative 77, most contentious issue on the ballot passed 55 to 45%. no raise in minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020, eveny if t earn tips. the supporters of the initiative have won. but the question is have they really won when the vote was so close. 55 to 45. and the council has power and apparently inclination to change it in some way. >> we jack evans come out
6:19 am
couple days ago and say only 17% of registered voters in d.c. turned out for the primary, it is not really that this issue won by an overwhelming. >> there was no mandate. >> right. when i heardthat, i thought well, you put this to voters to vote on. the people that are intereste in showe up and voted on the issue. does it dilute the process if you don't follow what vot cared enough to show up want to have happen. people that didn't vote, have to think don't care that much about it. you have to follow --in it of rubbed me the wrong way, the notion this could be set aside, the will of people that showed upset aside and you do something different. pe>> which hd in maine. >> it is a real possibility here. more than half the council doesn't likhe idea, mayor doesn't like the idea. you have to think there's mebody figuring o how to massage this so something different happens. a lot of businesses and
6:20 am
restaurants weren't in favor o it eithe >> you put up a bond for a vote that pumps the money if you're interested in, and voters say that, you don't say we only got 17%, we're not going to take that money. i hear what you're saying. i was speaking to voters on primary day i spoke to one woman who said she ved yes because at a gut level, she said she felt i don't think we as consumers should be subsidizing businesses. in other words, it is their job to pay them liveable wage. why should we be forced to subsidize their business. another lady said she was convinced after going toinner out a week ago and her server said vote no on this. that her server felt it was going to cut her wages inhalf.
6:21 am
she was better off under this current system. again, that speaks to the fact we have high end resta here in d.c., some sizable tips, and i think s ae people worried, you start to increase the price of the meal, which it will, and you know your server is makingun x a of money, are you less inclined to tip. >>e sawwo classes of workers in thise. deb >> like chris mentioned, people at the high end restaurants make big tips when they show up, regardless how long they work. then people work at restaurants that appeal to larger part of the population with lower prices, therefore tips might be lower if they base it on the amount t oy spent a meal, and the potential to impact some of the waiters, for example, in a negative way, youan't help but
6:22 am
wonder how big that impact could be. if i feelecure in the tip money i make to any degree secure and suddenly something comeslong and maybe it will make it better, maybe the employer will say i can't affed to hs big a staff as before i had to pay more for labor, ere are a lot of variables in there that worry people. hepeople behind initiative say studies show it is not that bad, impact is not so great where you see large numbers of people losing jobs or prices increased in restaurants, so there's a sort of s wait and what happens in your community. i don't know. >> certainly divided a lot of people, s,work let'serestaurant and congress has an opportunity to weigh in onehis. we'll t a break and be right back. stay with us.
6:23 am
6:24 am
it appears the mayor of district and mostembers of council keep their seats. mayor boyser appearso be headed for a second term. beinghe democrats' nominee. she will likely be the first two te mayor since t days of anthony williams. do you think thi represents a city of voters who are satisfied or apathetic, the turnout was extremely low. >> people are struggling, west of the river people are saying things are developing, we're seeing businesses pop up all thi , maybe a little apathy
6:25 am
there. i frankly shocked. if you tnk about it, the homicide rate is up, as much as it is in the strict, and multiple scandals in the d.c. public school system, and there was no true viablehallenger to mayor bowser. not laying that at her feet but in a normal political spectrum, those kind of crises generate a challenger who says i see a weakness there, i'm going to try to exploit it. didn't see that in d.c. >> beghe question, is the apathy on the part of people that could run for office, before you get down to the voters on the issue, where nobody rose to the top to say here are these problems,e have to make change. then voters get that same itvib. s like well, nobody wants to fight, so i'moing t stay home election day. or what's the point of getting
6:26 am
involved. you have to wonder if people are having that feeling if nobody is there to represent them in a desire for change. >> low turnout for the virginia primary as well, notwithstanding this is anff year election, and you tendow to have voter turnouts. there's so much discontent around the country, you maybe think there would be a higher turnout this year. are people disillusioned? >> i don't know. i think you hit on a great point. is an off year right now. i a primary election. i think youe going to see that possibly change in novber in the general election. but i think right now a l of the local races aren't really geared towards that national that you touched on.
6:27 am
they're more focused on schools and localiz issues that don't necessarily play into what's happening at the nationalev. >> you also look at the possibility that this couldr spill onto some of the national races we're going to see. i talkeo tim kaine after the virginia primaries where he is facing corey stewart in november for a senate seat. these are two men so far apart in terms of style, in terms of policy, work they wt to get done. you have to wonder if we're going to see people turn out in a wayll that speak to the discontent, tdisillusionment may exist at the national level now and come out in big numbers for tim kaine or come out in big numbers for policies that corey stewart supports. it is going to be interesting to see what happens in november either way, whether there's a bi push for change or not if
6:28 am
people are so disillusioned they walk away. >> there's tremendous shock and disbelief in this city and across the country, reaction to news the former archbisho mccaw removed for abusing a teen years ago in new york. he says he has no rec tlection reported abuse. served here from 2001 to 2006 anone of the highest ranking church officials in the country, one of the highest prole catholic leaders to face allegations. this hits a lotf people here hard. many people know him, have worked with him. also he was one of the b fac and voices setting policies to fighsi the c in the church. >> you're rht. the archbishop of new york said
6:29 am
the same, that this hit him personally because of the reputation that cardinal mccarrick had, and the relationship with the archdiocese and in washington.ot a of people were like what? the shock sort of set in. the cardinal said he doesn't recall it. this is7 think years ago, somewhere in that neighborhood that thid. happe in the last two years a man came forward to say this happened. and the investigation w done and the church found it was credible. there were in looking at the issue, there were obviously members of leadership i the church, and this is their process. this is whatay the church we're going to thoroughly investigate every accusation that comes up and take action. the cardinal could be removed from the priest hood. >>wa h the guy, he was the priest talking about mandatoryr rting. he was behind a lot of the
6:30 am
efforts. and you're out. >> one strike and you're out. lot of people thought given the time frame between the alleged incident and this r now, but the fact that the church had credible evidence, as mrontioned, there was actual investigation that he would say well, i don't remembet it, i donnk it happened, plt if it did, i apologize, a lot of p felt he was sort of skirting thessue there. it is shocking to me. i remember travelingo rome 15 years ago when the pope called all the u.s. bishops to rome to address this scandal. and her we are 15 years later and the church is still struggling to deal with it. >> aaron, chris, thank you both. that's reporter's notebook. news4 today continues.
