day, just the pop-up type. we have a little cooler day. we have a pool of cooler air that will be settling in. chance of thunderstorms. can't rule it out. 66 degrees. the daytime high today, 78 degrees. >> not an easy ride on 95 and 395. it's been trucked with accidents. as you work your way on 395, we find a crew on sky fox making their way. no incidents to report. southbound 395, lanes are open. activity at the ends of ramp on edsal road. taking it back inside, we will update the right. there is that accident activity if you are coming off the ramp from southbound or i should say eastbound he had sal to i-95. it is causing a little bit of time with an early merge there. northbound i-95, struggle out

of dale city. 27 minute commute. the early crash is gone. north bound 210 as you work your way towards fort washington road. that's a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. julie, thank you very much. top story this morning, the beginning of a new school year. >> in virginia, kids go back to class as wisdom mentioned in fauquier county. in maryland, first day of school for prince george's county. there will be a ribbon cutting. that's where we find fox 5's melanie almwick. >> reporter: we had somebody driving by and saying, wow, what a beautiful middle school. and that's what people want here. they want people to be excited to if to the new greenbelt

middle school. it is lead certified, which means it meets all of the environmental requirements. the surpt superintendent is leaving to take over the helm of the fill why public school. in the interim, the school system has named alvin crawley from the d.c. public school system tyke over as the interim superintendent. he has been in education for 32 years. now on the road, parents who are driving their kids to school and also motorists around the schools do want to be aware that speed cameras which had been turned off during the summer will be reactivated. and speaking of transportation, there will also be some transportation and schedule changes for the students as well. middle schools will e adding 40 minutes on to their

instructional day. some will see that in the beginning, some in the end. part of it is to see those who are you go having to make grades a little more time to for instructional time. that will allow them to match up a little bit better with the schedule for the high schools and they the transportation department will now allow some bus sharing between middle schools and high schools and they say that will help them save at least five million dollars in transportation kses, hopefully money that they can put right back into their education. the ribbon cutting is at 7:35. the first day gets underway at 8:30 this morning. allison and wisdom? all right. new this morning, prince george's county police are investigating a police-involved shooting. it happened late last night on bon view lane in oxon hill. officers say that the man was

combative. they originally were going to tasered him but he pulled out a prop and said he was going to shoot them. that's when police shot him. the man was high on pcp a capitol hill father and husband is in the hospital after being beaten. thomas maslin was found unconscious on the street. he was walking home after a night out with friends at a baseball game. he was just blocks from his house. >> we are praying so hard that he comes out of this. he is such a fighter, the tram at this of the whole thing and not understanding why it happens in a place where they felt so secure. >> maslin has undergone to procedures on his skull to ease the swelling in had his brain. he remains in critical condition but is stabilized. police are still trying to figure out why and where maslin was attacked.

it is back to business on the campaign trail after a week of solo appearances. mitt romney will reunite with his running mate, paul ryan. the two republicans will take on the battleground state of new hampshire to answer questions about medicare plan that has left some senior as bit skiddish. as for president obama, he has a lunch date at the white house with his vice president biden. and then later today, the president and the first lady will host the winner of a contest. and now, more on medicare. >> romney's plan is more of less where we cap. we give them a voucher and we tell them good luck, you are on your own to cover whatever the difference is and the congressional budget office has

estimated this will lead to our nation spending 800 to 99,000 less. >> the medicare process will go broke in 12 years and president obama is not only for the status quo but wants more spending out reform. that's just irresponsible and reckless. every governor in the country is redesigning pension. romney and ryan are honest saying, look, we want to make sure that if we want to go forward, they'll have to have some reform. there is up roar for a after comments from a man who wants to run for the missouri

senate. >> the question is charles jaco is whether abortion should be legal in the case of rape. this was congressman todd akin's response. >> from what i understand from doctors, that's really rare. if it is a legitimate rape, the female body tries to shut the down. maybe that didn't work. there should be some punishment but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not the child. >> senator mccast kill's camp released this statement. it is beyond comprehension that sun can be so ignorant about the emotional trauma brought on by rape. the idea that todd akin has express about the serious crime of rape and its i am pack on victims are offensive. >> the akin campaign had a response of its own. >> they say he misspoke. this is part of his statement. i recognize that abortion and particularly in the case of

rape is a very emotionally charged issue. but i believe deeply in the protection of all life and i do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action. >> we've got months to go. i'm sure we'll sit down and have a score card how many times somebody is going to say something and say, i wish i would say something a different way. >> reporter: experts predict that democrats will use his statement. >> a spokesperson for the romney campaign said that romney and running mate paul ryan did not agree with the statement and that the candidates would not oppose abortions in instances of rape. five% of rape victims became pregnant, a statistic shows. the research pound about half the women had abortions. wisdom? >> allison, this morning, a

bizarre story of a congressman, it an aidee. the fbi looked into reports of a midnight swim in the sea of galilee and drinking and even without a swimsuit. >> politico says that house republican eric cantor was so upset that he scolded the house members who were on the trip. a director best known for the film top gun takes his own life. we have more details about that. >> and more evacuations underway due to those devastating firefight happening

out west. a new update on where things stand. and pressure for redskin rookie robert griffin iii. they are back to breaking down his performance in the game. and as we take a break, we are dancing to the music, sorry. for got where it was. we take a look at the latest weather outside with tucker and julie. that's next.

wildfires continue to rage out west. people living near a fire northern california have been told to evacuate as the blaze moved closer to some 3000 homes. nearly 1000 firefighters are working to get a handle on that fire which has already consumed at least 19 square miles since saturday. also being plagued with

wildfires, idaho, washington state, utah, even the hawaiian island. the director of top gun dies after jumping off a bridge in los angeles of an apparent suicide. he also directed beverly hills cop 2 and crimson tide. police divers used sonar to find the 68-year-old's body after he jumped. a suicide note was discovered later on. >> very sad. >> very, very sad. bizarre. hello, gwen. >> hello. >> nice to see you. >> me, too. >> what's going on? >> clouds and we don't have the nice sunshine for those kids going to school with a few showers here and there not a total washout but keep the umbrellas handy because you're going to need them. >> let's take a look at the map and see where we are right now. temperatures on the mild side, especially at reagan national airport. humidity dropped somewhat from earlier this morning. it is now 78%. we have a light northerly wind

and that's going to stick around throughout the course of the day. satellite radar composite showing you the clouds in full forms some you to the west could be seeing some patchy fog and not everybody will see rain throughout the course the day. we'll see some pop-up showers here and there won't be a total washout. they will be sticking around throughout evening. currently 72 at quantico, 72 in annapolis. 66 in dulles, 64 in frederick and 64 degrees in gaithersburg. temperatures in the high 70s to the low 880s pretty much everywhere and the clouds and rain will determine how warm we're going to get. i'm showing possibly a high today for d.c. at about roughly 78 degrees. elsewhere, temperatures once again into the upper 70s and 80s. just expect a few showers here and there off and on and, once

again, by top, they could be widespread and there is a chance we could see a thunderstorm. a little bit unsettled. >> thanks, gwen. >> all right. julie wright is here to talk about what's happening on the road. >> hey, allison. >> hey, july. >> hi, all bright and sunshiny. i put it out there because i love you. i do. your girls are fabulous. i have seen pictures. allison ann have been to the a long time. i remember when she was just pregnant with the little babies. >> seems like they were babies. >> now they are big and everything. they are little girls. they are so cute. >> thank you, julie. >> on the roads, you're going to find lanes open if you are traveling along 395 on the ramp from edsal road. follow directions as you squeeze by. not a big delay at this point. if you are traveling on the other side of town, north bound

i-995, still below speed. improving, only about an 18 minute ride right now. accident activity in the process of being cleared. i had the tawld car being leer but you find taylorsville leaving rock creek road. that's a look at the traffic. all right. the nats wrap up the weekend series against the mets and the redskins struggled in chicago. >> dave ross is near with sport. >> let me ask you something. welcome back. >> thank you. >> were you back in chicago? >> i was not. >> if you were, you would have called? >> yes. >> we were both in chicago at the same time and didn't know. you know who was in chicago? who? >> rg3 and the redskins. we were trying to see this. i call him rg3. he has an extra gear but he was stalled a little bit. this was his welcome to the nfl moment. he can throw the ball.

he back pedals and takes a shot from julius peppers, the first time somebody their hand on the from ary. he was trying to make a play. i understand that? >> that was unnecessary. look at the green space. throw it, throw it, throw it. wisdom, i know he is trying to make plays with his leg but he has his arm. keep throwing with that arm. >> i'm saying in a meaningless game. he didn't have a chance here, allison. he just gets steam rolled many. >> come on. >> he gets sacked. >> but here is why people get excited because when you see the natural athleticism of this kid, get out of the pocket. he is gone. turns that corner, and nobody is going to touch him. he gets out of hand without a hand on a ferrari. one guy who did not struggle, kirk cousins, the back judge quarterback. uh-oh. >> i know, allison. this town loves a quarterback

controversy, right? >> there is no quarterback controversy. >> the other guy. that's not right. >> what can i call him now? >> if rg3 3 ace ferrari. how about curbing cousins? >> how about a yugo? >> a camry? >> well, give him an upgrade. mr. robinson, this is for you. three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to bring them back. they did lose 33-31, but both guys -- look, that's why you rookie quarterbacks. you figure out what you have. cousins is looking pretty good. the nats are looking pretty good all season long. this team is going to the playoffs. get your tickets ready and your tickets. danny espinoza going yard. this kid, bryce harper, you know when he hits it in the gap, he is not stopping for a

double. he is taking all those bases. again, 5-2. and this one, is gong yard. you can jog, young bryce. you don't have to run that fast when you hit it out. >> and our neighbors to the north, the orioles in detroit, not chicago. they were in detroit with the tiggers he has a lot jokes. >> i did. a lot of energy. if the playoffs were to start today, which they don't, they would be in the playoffs but they don't. but if they d they would be in the playoffs, right? >> are you trying to be optimistic? >> glass half full. >> our neighbor to the north. >> thanks for calling, liz. >> you don't even have to worry about it. >> that would be the first day right here. >> it is 7:22 right now, 70 degrees. the first to remove chick-fil-a

[ male announcer ] you paid in to medicare for years.

every paycheck. now, when you need it obama has cut $716 billion dollars from medicare. why? to pay for obamacare. so now the money you paid for your guaranteed healthcare is going to a massive new government program that's not for you. the romney-ryan plan protects medicare benefits for today's seniors and strengthens the plan for the next generation. [ romney ] i'm mitt romney and i approve this message.

all right. smart phones. we were talking about smart phones and tablets. they may be the answer to figuring out how many crabs are in the chesapeake play. that threw me when we were talking about phones and crabs. 5 water mains in maryland are experiencing a pilot program that uses digital software that allows them to count the crabs in the middle of the river. using a wireless signal, they

can send the signal to the maryland department of water resources. this would replace the pen and paper used to count the crab the controversial surrounding chick-fil-a hitting close to home. university of maryland students are signing a petition to force chick-fil-a out of a maryland campus. chick-fil-a has a year left on its contract. and a problem in afghanistan, insider attack. the target, american troops. coming up, wtop's a.j. green live with a look from overseas and what united states are doing. and a live look outside. we'll get the latest traffic

and weather from gwen and julie coming up.  [ obobama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message. [ male announcer ] you work hard. stretch every penny.

but chances are you pay a higher tax rate than him... mitt romney made twenty million dollars in two thousand ten but paid only fourteen percent in taxes... probably less than you now he has a plan that would give millionaires another tax break... and raises taxes on middle class families by up to two thousand dollars a year. mitt romney's middle class tax increase. he pays less. you pay more.

bad news for drivers. gas prices fin to climb above a year ago prices. it is a trend that began last

year after holding below the price. the national average is now at 3.7 it a gallon. that's 5 cents more than one week ago. >> man. can't get a break on those gas prices. >> i know. >> we've got to budget that in when you it go on vacation. >> i know. can't drive anywhere. not a total washout. you can damage here and there in between when we're going to get showers. talk about clouds, oh, we've got more cloud out there than you want to know about. 70 degrees officially at reagan national airport. humidity at 78%. that will make it feel uncomfortable outside a lot higher earlier this morning but it's going to stick around. light northerly wind officially at 6 miles per hour.

63 degrees at martinsburg, 64 in gaithersburg, same in manassas. quantity could at 72. rainfall and clouds will start to gradually push their way into the area. into the total washout for the day so for those of the day, you will be able to get most of the things you need to get done outside. a few intermittent showers here and there by the time we get into this evening, rain will increase in coverage and we even have a chance of seeing a thunderstorm or two. we have a disturbance to the north of us, another one that's off the coast that's going to eventually start to push its way off. will set us off for a little bit of instability. we could see a thunderstorm or two popping up. behind all of this, though, a ridge of high pressure will build in and that will hold us as we move into later part of the week. we'll have some sunshine by the time we hit into the thursday, friday period. in the meantime, we do have to

deal with those showers. so, mostly cloudy, overcast skies today, some showers, 78 degrees. some of you to the far west may even be seeing some patchy fog this morning. light northeasterly wind from 5 to 10. by the time we get to tonight, 66 for the overnight low. here ace look at the five-day forecast. look at the rise in those temperatures. by the end of the week, we are up to the mid to upper 80s. let's check out traffic. we are traveling northbound or i should say inbound along new york avenue, heading down from the parkway toward florida. accident on the left side of the highway. inside the north 3rd street tunnel. before you commit to new york, right side of the roadway blocked off with accident activity you will still find delays on 295. and now with the delays approaching the inbound 11th street bridge, no problem to report right now. as you work your way from

college park headed towards 270, lanes are open. check for southbound activity an alarming new friend in afghanistan. over the week, a man in afghan police uniform shot and killed a u.s. service member. now, that raises the death toll to 10 such attacks in the past two weeks. joining us this morning, j.j. green, national security correspondent at wtop radio good morning. always good to see you. >> hey, allison. >> what's going on there? >> a number of things are unfolding at once. the drawdown is looming. the taliban knows that the drawdown is looming and based on the conversation that i've had for my reporting with dod sources and afghan sources as well, there appears to be an interest in increasing the kind of attacks going on the early on, it was viewed as isolated

or intermittent or something that would happen every so on. but within the last couple of weeks, there have been a significant number of these attacks which suggest that it is a concerted effort on the part of someone. it's not just all about disgruntled or people that are upset with the way in which they are being handlinged. there is something afoot her. general martin dempsey, the chairman of the joint chief of staff is there in afghanistan to handling routine business but i'm sure this is going to be on the top of this list. >> what in the world can be done? this seems to be the most insidious type of attack. you don't see it coming at all, i don't manual. what can be done? >> one the things that's being done at this pipe is something called the guardian angels for certain members of the military. there will be people that are actually watching their backs as they are performing their duties. the fir pores has this really

unique program called the ravens. these folks fly on airplanes and once they land, they will stand guard around the airplane all night or while the airplane is out on the tarmac. this is going to be the same sort of program for all service members. for all of them but for certain ones of them. i'm not certain who. there are some questions about changing who actually does the weapons training because one of these attacks in which an afghan service member was presented a weapon turned that weapon on the people who presented it to him moments later. now, there is some discussion about how the training takes place, who does it and where it's done to sort of limit the possibility for these kinds of attacks. >> j.j., just to turn back a little bit, the job was to go and train the afghans themselves to basically take over. sounds funny when you are talking about take over in your own country but we know this

whole campaign has been that. we go n try to get our -- erase the taliban or do our best to push it back. so that the afghan people had cake over when we do leave al together. has this completely field? is this a rogue movement within the country? >> it has not pavement we should remember that the taliban used to -- it has not failed. we should remember that the taliban used to run the country. than the taliban went too far in the eyes of the people and certainly allowing a safe haven for organizations like al-qaeda from which these attacks, the 9/11 attacks were launched. now the taliban as the only

kind of organized force, police or whatever, that existed there they had to be trained up from the very ground up. and the united states, after the afghan invasion in town along with nato and others assumed that responsibility of training these people. theal began, there is no doubt about it, is influencing a lot of people to go out and conduct these attacks and they have complained responsibility for it. there has been some denial that theal began is behind this, that it's all about people that are upset and angry about things, but having been there a few times and talking to a few people on the ground the taliban goes into neighborhoods at night after nato forces and done all the good that they want. they warned people, if you help them out, we're going to take you out and your family out. we're going to injure you. there is that kind of movement

working against any good that nato and asaf is doing. >> let's hope that we you come back and talk about something very good. >> thank you very much for being here. wisdom, over to you. >> it is now 7:39. coming up, a special day for some lucky children at the white house. the first lady will be there and back in the water for trying to swim without a shark cage. and just a week of summer fun left. fox 5 is standing out ith busch gardens. you can enter any time this week to win. you must be 18 or older and be a legal resident of d.c., maryland or virginia. you can see all the rules on

new this morning, a police- involved shooting in prince george's county. this happened around 10:00 last night along the 5,000 block of bar that by lane in oxon hill. officers responded to reports of a suspicious person and found a man reportedly high on pcp. he became combative. he alreadily threatened to kill one of the officers and they opened fire. more bloodshed in afghanistan. a defense department official says a man in an afghan police uniform shot and killed a u.s. service member sunday. that brings the death toll from the so-called insider attacks to 10 in two weeks. top u.s. officials are on the ground in the war zone for a meeting with senior afghan officials as they try to find a way to stop the wave of

wisdom, over to you. all right, allison. we are talking about money. joining us is an expert -- this is an election year. what happens in politics can have some people nervous, especially when it comes to who nice the white house, whether it's democrat or republican, who wins. we have an expert to talk about that. you are an expert. mike is a certified financial planner with fbb capital partners in bethesda. thank you for coming in and talking to us. >> do you like the lofty introduction i gave you. >> that's nice. >> sets the bar high. >> let's talk about finances during an election year. how big of a deal is this? how does it affect the markets when you have an election year trying to determine who will be in the white house. >> trying to determine who will be in the white house is tricky and i am not an expert. >> right. >> i won't touch that. it's trying to time anything in the markets is difficult. we are in a period with an

election, with the fiscal cliff happening january 1st and everything going on in the world, specifically europe, investors are scared and nervous. the best thing to do or not to do rather in that environment is don't panic. don't do something with your personal balance seattle that you won't be able to recover from when you measure successes over years not months. >> think long term and not immediate. i see tips, first don't panic. the next one don't chase returns. >> don't be worried about the market being volatile or the stock market and lieu and your 401(k) and you sigh what has done well and you look the last 10 years that will be bonds, specifically government bonds. so moving from something that didn't do well to something that did well, that is almost certain to end in disaster.

moving from stocks to bonds would be a mistake. that would be chasing returns. >> what about taxes? what action do you take as far as taxes? >> this is one thing you may want to consult your accountant with. if you have capital gains in a brokerage account you may want to accelerate those gains, realize those gains this year because the capital gains rate is 15%. on january 1 that's going up to 20%. 33% increase. you may want to accelerate taxes, counterintuitive to everything that we learned as far as savings go. but in an environment where tax rates may go up, you may want to accelerate some of those gains this year and reestablish the position next year. >> you want to talk to a professional. don't try to go at this alone. they know how to deal with these financial things. >> it doesn't have to be a financial planner, financial investigator or planner -- advisor or planner would be

great but if it is your account table, lawyer, use somebody else as a sounding boy to decide if it's still appropriate and if not you can make adjustments. don't panic and do widespread changes at once. >> that's because, normally, as we talked about, in an election year when you have this coming up, things tend to be choppy, they fluctuate. stay the course and get help. >> that's right. >> be patient. >> that's right. >> thank you for coming in and talking to us. we appreciate it. back to you. >> wisdom, thanks. coming up, the high profile hollywood suicide. the latest from the investigation into the death of director tony scott. >> later, holly joins some of the music work's famous divas and the men that bring them together on stage.

prince george's county police say 30-year-old jacqueline renee savoy is the alleged robber that burned to death friday afternoon. investigators say she hailed a cab. when they arrived she demanded money from the driver, hit him over the head, poured flammable liquid all over. the cab driver got out but she burned. a warning to avoid

cantaloupes from southwestern indiana. they could be contaminated with salmonella. an outbreak has been linked to two deaths. the fda is currently investigating whether other types of melons may be linked to the outbreak. in china the verdict is in for the wife of a communist official found guilty of murdering a british businessman. she was sentenced to death but the court suspended the sentence. she admits that she poisoned neil paywood when she was drunk to protect her son. she is spared the fire ing squad execution for now. let's check in with gwen for a look at the forecast. is the rain holding off for the time being? >> some places are getting it to the far west and the south of us. we are getting a break. the clouds are in full force. i'm telling you it will eventually make its way toward us. when i tell you to keep the

umbrella handy, that's what you need to do. >> let's take a look at this. clouds sticking around today. not going anywhere. temperature right now at 71 degrees. a mild start to the day. it's sticky. humidity 78%. light northerly wind at 6 miles per hour. we will see that continue to be the story as we head through the course of the afternoon. currently 64 at gaithersburg. that is the same at frederick. 67 dulles. bw i-70 degrees. 69 fredricksburg and 63 at winchester. up the mid-atlantic, 65 for boston. new york city at 67 degrees. 68 to the south at rally. as i mentioned, the clouds are not going anywhere. overcast skies i can't give you anything in the sun department at all. you can see the flow of the wet weather that is gradually pushing its way slowly up the eastern seaboard. we have another system to the north of us. a combination of those two leave us in the thick of things

as far as the clouds are concerned and with a continuing chance of seeing a shower pop up here and there. i'm not talking a total washout for the day. excuse me. but i am talking definitely a chance of showers. we will see this system to the coast start to move out gradually as we head through the next couple of days. we have a set up for storms tonight across the area as this system from the north has a short wave associated with it. behind it all, a ridge of high pressure will build in. that will give us the sunshine we want. that will kick through into the thursday, friday period. in the meantime, 78 today. showers. here is the day planner. by midday expect to be 73. 76 by the 5:00 hour. five-day forecast showing temperatures on the rise. take a look, back to sunshine by thursday and friday as we heat up to 87 degrees. not bad at all. let's check in with sarah simmons. >> gwen, thank you.

last week we told you that maryland representative chris hollin would help out the obama- biden campaign. he will play the role of republican vice presidential candidate paul ryan in the preparations leading up to the vp debated in october. because van hollin worked closely with ryan on some of the biggest issues. he joins us now. thank you for coming in. >> good to be with you this morning. >> as we mentioned, you worked closely with him on the house budget committee. he is the chair. you are a ranking member. how has your work with him and the sparing over the different debates like medicare and other tax debate issues, how has that prepared you, would you say. >> paul and i get along well personally. anybody that watched the debates would know that we have very deep differences. we express them civilly. that's the good news. but this puts me in a position to understand all the arguments that he has made and how he presents the arguments. i hope i can be of some help to

the obama team as we go through the rest of the campaign because there are huge differences in policy with real consequences for the american people in the romney-ryan approach versus the president and the vice president. >> that is what a lot of people are realizing as we take a look at the different attack ads out there, that there are huge differences in the way -- it's not that anybody -- the thing is people feel one side paints a picture that they want to get rid of medicare or republicans want to get rid of medicare. don't you feel like -- i think a lot of people want to know what is the truth but is it the truth that both sides do have a difference on how they want to get there and solve the issue, not that anybody wants to get rid of it? >> it's not that people want to get rid of medicare but the republican plan would rad dillly alter the shape of medicare in a way that i believe would be bad for

seniors. at its heart, the way they would save money for medicare is not to contain the rising costs in medicare but to shift a lot of those costs on to the backs of seniors. the nonpartisan budget office analyzed the earlier version of the plan that said it would cost seniors over $6,000 per year more when it was kicked in. those are real numbers for people who are on median incomes of $23,000. context of a budget that would provide huge tax breaks to people like mitt romney. at its heart, the ryan budget, the ryan-romney plan would provide big tax breaks to people like mitt romney and ask people on medicare to pay a lot more. it would seriously cut education funding for our kids and, in fact, their tax plan would off-load a lot of new costs on to middle income taxpayers again to finance these tax cuts for folks at the

top. >> get back to medicare, republicans maintain that seniors are not going to be affected, the seniors going in right now won't be affected right now. this won't be an immediate ramy identification for seniors -- ramy identification for seniors. >> i'm glad you raised that. it's not true. they want to totally repeal obama care. interestingly the one sensible part of paul ryan's budget, he would keep the savings we made in medicare. now that he has joined the romney ticket, he will get rid of those savings. those savings were achieved by ending the overpayments to the private insurance companies in medicare. when you eliminate those savings, you accelerate the insolvency of medicare according to the truss he seas and they will immediately increase costs and this is important for seniors with high prescription drug costs. they will immediately increase costs to seniors that get preventative health care

services under medicare. the reason is, we recycled some of the savings in medicare to strengthen those benefits. they took every penny of savings but did not put one penny back. >> congressman, let's talk about this a little more. people hear the arguments from both sides. no one thinks that no one -- that you don't want to get something done here. people are frustrated. they hear what republicans and democrats have to say. they see not a lot getting done in congress. speak to the deep divide that we are looking at. is something going to be done. i think people are frustrated and don't know who to believe. >> what i would ask people to do is look at the facts that are presented by the nonpartisan groups. you have the nonpartisan group that says if you eliminate the savings achieved through obama care, savings by eliminating the overpayments to the private insurers, savings achieved by

modernizing the way we reimburse hospitals, for example, that if you get rid of that, you will accelerate the insolvency of medicare. it's also those independent organizations that i cited the congressional budget office that said the romney-0 ryan voucher plan will increase costs to seniors $6,000 a year when it's faced in. >> go to independent source. >> look at the facts. >> don't believe the attack ads. >> just personally i am careful to use facts that have been vetted by the independent groups. i think people deserve the facts. >> congressman van hollen, we appreciate you coming in. >> allison, over to you. >> thanks, sarah. d.c.'s close ties with politics means sometimes it gets a bad wrap. >> a local drink maker is putting the city's honesty to the test. ohio we scored. >> -- how we scored. 

an action filled weekend at the box office. >> one action movie kicked out another. the expendables 2 came in first place. the born legacy came to second. sparkle starting whitney houston dubaied at 5th. a hiker trapped on a mountain in wyoming for five hours captures her whole ordeal on camera. lexi is a senior. she was hiking up the mountain with a friend when she fell in a trench and seriously hurt her ankle. the friend left her to get help. she decided to document the experience. >> i will flashy flash again, let everyone know that i'm here and i'm in pain.

>> i surprised myself. i did not think that i would ever have the capacity to effect my emotions like that, to keep so calm. >> she now has metal rods and screws keeping her foot in place. her video has gone viral with 150,000 hits in less than a week. scary. finally a freak accident during sunday's sprint cup. take a look. mark martin went into a spin on lap 65. his car sailed down pit road before slamming into the ends of a concrete barrier. it impaled the car behind the driver's seat setting the car on fire. so amazingly and unbelievably with these crashes happen, martin walked away unharmed. >> they were talking about this over the weekend. if it was up to the driver's seat he may not have been

walking away. it may have hit the car in the right spot. lucky. coming up next, putting d.c.'s honor to the test. to t

i'm barack obama and i approve this message to t now mitt romney's attacking the president on medicare? the nonpartisan a-a-r-p says obamacare "cracks down on medicare fraud, waste, and abuse and strengthens guaranteed benefits." and the ryan plan? a-a-r-p says it would undermine medicare and could lead to higher costs for seniors... and experts say

ryan's voucher plan could raise future retirees costs more than six thousand dollars. get the facts. if you are looking for glitz, glamour and costumes galore, look no further.

happened. people wonder about someone's true character. it's revealed when you are tested about your honesty. if you knew you would not get caught, would you get away and just take something if you thought you wouldn't get caught? that is what the folks decided to find out. they put bottles of tea on display and asked people to pay a dollar before taking a bottle. no monitor, no cashier. how did we do? joining us is seth goldman, the president to tell us how we did. thanks for telling us. this is what we saw. >> honest system, no cashier, noput your dollar in here and that's what you did last week. how did we do in washington, d.c. i understand we had 50 different locations. >> d.c. was in the top ten. >> that's good. about 93% honest. really impressive results whether it was capital hill, k

street, bethesda, dupont circle or the baseball stadium we covered a wide range. people were putting money in, more than 90% of the time. >> who did the worst and give me an idea why -- you did a little more research getting into those results? >> yeah. los angeles was the lowest performer, about 79% honesty. then we had cities like oakland and salt lake city with 100%. it was a wide range. women were more honest than men. for some reason bold men were the lowest category of honesty. not sure what happened there. and people with gray hair and red hair turned out to be the highest performers. >> we are so honest. that's for sure. you did have video set up. this wasn't totally unmonitored. >> that's right. >> what did you see. >> in philadelphia someone payed with a mayonnaise pact.

>> that's valuable. >> in brooklyn someone tried to steal the duct tape, a roll of duct tape left out. in cleveland somebody found one of our people and asked if it was okay to steal. all kinds of different behaviors. it was a social experiment. is this something that you will do. >> yeah. for us it's a fun way to get a connection to our brand but to see what is happening. this is super tough economic times it's nice to see how people perform and we went to other places. we went to motorcycle rallies, stock car races and saucon sis assistant results around the country. it wasn't really -- not one demographic that underperformed. >> relics -- real quickly, where does the money go, pocketing it or going to charity. >> we are donating it to a charity that works to help build community around the country. this is about how much trust is in our community. we would like to continue to

invest in that. >> did you get some people that would throw in more than a dollar. >> in some cases people put money in just to support the experiment. they thought it was a positive thing to do. and in some cases i think people were trying to help the city's reputation they put more money in than bottles. >> what a great experiment. 93%. that's good. >> top ten. >> >> that's good to hear. thank you so much. we appreciate you coming by. we will be right back. ight bac [ male announcer ] you paid in to medicare for years.
