with -- that will of course include jer biden and some oth big names in this race. and so folks tonight will be looking for things to continue beyond today in terms of press coverage. and anybody who breaks throuni tot will be hoping to stay in the news cycle. hewe know that some of t candidates are going to be visiting parts of florida here d in thes to come and then going back out into iowa and so forth as well. among the peopleho will be looking to stay in the news cycle, john delaney for sure. we had a chance to sit down with the former maryland congressman yesterday and he declared his run back in 2071, 17. and he is very awareis that he an unknown in a lot of places. barely registering in some of the recent national polls that are out there. but delaney is banking on tonight to change his momentum. >> i thek the american peopl

will see a lot of new candidates, candidates they haven't really focused on and i think that they will walk out oe the debaaying some of the other candidates are actually pretty darn good and i want to focus on them and i expect them to say that about me. >> reporter: i also asked him about his ideas and why his ideas are better than the other candes here. and we also talked about the trump factor in tonight's debate. we'll have that for you at 5:00. for now, would he live here in miami. back to you. >> going to be interesting to see what breaks through more, ideas or personalities. keep it here for complete of coverage the first democratic debat all of the action kicks off tonight at 9:00 right here on nbc 4. a o ahead inur next half hour here, we'll be joined by claire mcaskill, she served with some of the candidates who will be

higher, i'd show yo but it is not. but that will be going up. yes, it is a hot day, but that t is normally e get this time of year. nothing on the radar picture. we're dry currently. there are some storms back to the west forming back in toward maryland. we'll see this they make their way closer to us. most of us should remain on the dry side. through west virginia, you may see some of these. but most of us will stay dry tonight. the widerwi picture s not much happening. we have a storm system in the middle of the the big deal is the heat that is developing. we've seen very cool air to the north. hot air staying to the south.e next coupldays, that heat will move across much of the country right now. and it is already doing so. look at these numbers, 90 in st. louis, 88 this denver. they have seen very cool numbers. 86 in chicago. tho have been on the c side as well. we are at 91. so we do have some heat trying

to make its way across the eastern half of the naon. 93 tomorrow. a little bit more humid, but not a ton. plenty of sunshine and an isolated shower ch nce. canle out a shower or thunderstorm anyay where we have the heat and humidity. but we really think friday will be the day to watch not only hot, but very humid on friday with the heat index close to 100. remember tomorrow backyard i'll be live in backyard around our area, so tune in tomorrow afternoon. i'll be live in the heat. yes! saturday and sunday chance of a shower or storm. heat index around 100 as well. >> you're pulling our leg, doug. >> oh, no,ll be out there. >> maybe they will have a pool. >> thank you, doug. we are working for your health with new research on the risks of sintting. yogove heard that it is to get up and move around, but now

we know the way you sit can y affectour heart health. but first, new reaction to this video, a metro transit r police office uses a stun gun on a man, and what some in our com mu

a stun gun was used on an unarmed man. this video shows the transit officer repeatedly using the stun gun on a man that police say was interfering in an investigation at the time. charges against the man have since been dropped. metro is it also conductingwn i investigation. and area residents, hard to forget it. what are your listeners telling you? > we always know these are complicated issues. very subjective. but the short answer to your question, no. they are not realy satisfied with what they see. many of our listeners feel that what they see here is that police are too quick to default to an aggressive tactic in situations like this. though they like the faic that

the p chief is calling for an investigation, he has said in a statement that he approves of the way thater his officealt with theatyoung man and th they arrested and actually tased. so that could be problematic. >> but here is the thing. your listeners raise the question that i think everybody has, don't the officers know that there are ceras everywhere? they know other people have erht in such an aggrecassive way >> i think that is what has our rpsteners pelexed. wekn everyone has a came him are camera on their phone and in this case the lady was saying this.lming and i think some of our listeners are feeling that maybe police have a certain sense of immunity no matter what you see here, thathey will not be prosecuted for what ty see for -- for what they do. >> is so what do your listeners say about whether this could

have been avoided? >> most believe that it could en have b avoided. and i think most of our listeners when they look at this, they see wait a minute, there is a feeling of overpolici overpolicing. and especially when it is relatedo african-americans and specifically african-american males. a listener saidr sense was that she ft the second officer come into the scene and escalate instead of deescalate a tense issue that was already present. >> so i definitely position that tthat -- i think that the police handled it very inappropriately just becau the young man was speaking to another police officer and he was disrupted ith aggressive force from another police officer. so this is definitely a case where the police did o much

and should reevaluate how they approach situations especially when the person who they are approaching is doubt your list be watching to see how it ends up. pat, back over to. y the experience of a life time today for a local young man fighting a rare disease.

inspire andse of cour elizabeth warren is going to be formidable. beto, it remains to be seen whether he can break out tonight. >> and if you are warren and considered a frontrunner or maybe biden tomorrow, everybody is coming after you, how do you protect yourself? >> i think that you have to deflect and pivot to the things that you really want to communicate about. if you spend all your time trying to answer charges that are being made against you, you are noing to be effective at really getting your message across to the american people and that is what tonight should be about.> can't wait and see how tonight goes. so glad to have you with us, senator. take care. several ways that you can tomorrow.ght and first you can stay right here on news channel 4, the debates will also air on msbc and telemundo 44. tonight at 9:00. and also stream live onnbc twitter and youtube pages and
