. this is one of the top talk to hers at tonight at 6:30, we invite you guys to join a conversation, let us know what you think. is it a good idea or bad idea? use #5at630. as we mentioned, con

they approved a budget framework that will make it easier for an eventually vote on dismantling the affordable care act. 227 to 198 following a vote in the senate earlier, this bill would prevent democrats from using a senate fill buster to derail a future bill that would scrap and replace obamacare >> the president-elect tweeted the unaffordable care act will soon be history. president of vote america now is here to talk about what this means for every day americans. thank you so much for joining us. what does this vote mean today? >> well, first of all, it's really a very complicated process, it's about a ten be step process. this is just the beginning kind of a lengthy process of beginning to repeal obamacare. of course, republicans want to have a healthcare program it's that more efficient, has more quality and of course, brings down the

importantly, that can provide more choices because speaker ryan said, one choice is not a choice. >> let me ask you. sounds like you stand on the side of this being a good idea. am i reading you accurately? >> well, again, my job is to give information to everybody. and provide the facts best i can, at the same time, i know people personally who cost have soared immensely because of obamacare so anything that can provide americans with better prices would be a great thing. that being the case, they want something that's mor affordable. >> there's been a lot of complaints about the fact that republicans have been talking about we need -- we can do something better than this. however, at the same time, they're not giving specifics. what details, what are they going to replace i

show us the proof. what are you going to do that's better than what we have now? >> they don't want to just say here's our plan, democrats can try to tear it apart. but at the end of the day, i don't see -- first of all, president-elect donald trump said himself that he will make sure everybody is taken care of. in other words, there will be no gap. and so, to that point, i don't see them saying 20 million americans, hey, they will let guys in meantime, i just don't see the happy ending, these guys are smart, they won't let that happen. house speaker ryan has been saying to go to the website, if you actually look at it. it's not one big comprehensive plan, there's pieces of the pie that seem to be confusing even if you try to put them together. as the republicans put together a plan, whatever that may be, what are the key things that you think

needs to change? besides lower prices for the premium >> it really is a very complicated overall program. if i'm correct. i don't think they can pull every aspect out of it out of there have not they did something similar few years back and of course, president obama vetoed it. i think one of the most important thing is giving people choices, options to choose healthcare, the quality of healthcare will be crucial >> certainly, you know, preexisting conditions, keeping adult children until the age of 26, those are some of the key thing we need to stay >> it's not fair for you to be not covered or to be provide adequate health insurance or coverage if you have a preexisting condition, it's not fair to say sorry, go sit there and die or be more sick, we have the to do something to be able to help people. the purpose of having health coverage is obviously not when you're sick but when you are i don't sick to get you not being sick. >> i want to acknowledge all the folk

know what they think. keep the tweets coming >> it's a divisive issue but important >> thank you so much, chris, we appreciate it. big shocker for us army general dc guard. ordered to be removed. many are questioning the timing, general earl schwartz spent months planning for inauguration day. he will leave his position at 12:01 p.m. in the middle of the ceremony, which is classified as a national special security event. schwartz says he will be able to see off his troops but he is upset he will not be able to welcome them back. dc council chairman men dell son released major general schwartz has been great partner. worked well with government leaders and the community. additionally when i had oversight over of the guard, he was a good leader. it makes no sense that he would be replaced in the middle an ac

i don't know what's going on but i've had a high regard for major general schwartz. >> left a lot of people scratching their heads. developing tonight, the senate intelligence committee announced a short time ago it is launching a bipartisan inquiry. now, of course, all of this comes following the latest allegations against the next commander in chief who took to twitter and voiced his displeasure with how all of this has been handled. >> he tweeted out, it now turns out that the allegations against me were put together put by my political opponents and a failed afraid of being sued. totally made up facts by sleaze back political operatives, both democrats and republicans, probably released by intelligence knowing there is no proof and never will be. my people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days. again, president-elect's tweets right there,

us from the huffing ton post. >> let me ask you, this is unprecedented. i can't ever remember a president-elect or a president having such expressing his disbelief or lack of trust in the u.s. intelligence committee. what do you think is setting us up for moving forward? donald trump takes office in seven days. >> i think what we're seeing is a pattern of the president-elect being deliberately misleading, certainly not making people in the intelligence community happy. even the national intelligence team he misrepresented what pl, a pa said to him. he said it was a false on trump whereas clapper said we haven't decided whether it is true or a lie. it's a matter that affects national security. that's the important part here. the president-elect seems to want to invalidate the intelligence community he used the quotation

about weapons of mass destruction, this is not inspiring for tens of thousands of people do work on this every day. we've seen across europe in the middle east. they're worried and many are losing faith >> what do you think this means moving forward for the intelligence community trying to get its job done around the world? if they had this sort of back and forth with our president? what kind of damage do you think this could do in the long-term? >> it's certainly depends on how many defenders the community can get. they're looking hard at the intelligence community, others like the cia mike pompey yo. i want to say. many are thinking i'll stick it out. that's why you're seeing an increasing number of leaks. it wasn't a coincidence of a

hacking came one month after they started talking to president-elect trump. he tried to prison the seriousness of this, the evidence of this upon him and failed >> we certainly know that the president-elect want to replace the heads of the national intelligence agency. he cannot replace the hundreds or thousands of folks working in the field doing the field work to get the information to him. you mentioned what you think this will mean going forward. the president-elect says he wants to have this 90-day report on the hacking come out. how do you believe, this is going to be any different or than what the president, current president obama ordered this report on hacking? >> i think the differents we seen the people that president-elect donald trump want to have running these kind of things, rude giuliani is going to be leading the efforts, michael flynn will be the national security. these are not the majority of the people that the intelligence community has confidence in. flynn had to leave his job

seen as a bad manager and someone had became a bit of a conspiracy theoryist. rude giuliani. i don't think that it's actually going to lead to a lot of confidence. congress will have to push back heavily on the president-elect which they seem will go to do. and certainly whatever representatives of the intelligence agency are going to go see people like senator coats from indiana, they will have to stand up and tell the president, look, you're losing the community you rely on suddenly at a moment when you say >> i think that's going to be the key to see if they give them that push back if congress stands up to the president. i'm putting on my seatbelt, we're in for a bumpy ride. thanks so much for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you. speaking of a bumpy ride, we're going to have one, gary mcgrady

>> it is bumpy tomorrow. and the question is how cold is it? threw around town, little colder than that to the north, weather weather advisory has been posted. this is for midnight tonight until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow evening. hopefully by 6:00, 7:00, tomorrow night. most of these temperatures will be above freezing but we could start with snow. have a little sleet mixed in. get over to freezing rain and hopefully later on in the day tomorrow and into the evening. it will get a little bit warmer and it will just be old-fashioned rain, otherwise that messy mix, temperature tomorrow 34. late in the day. much better on sunday, drier, warmer, 44. we'll get into martin luther king day monday, there can be a little bit of rain or light mix north and west early in the day, but it will be real light. and most of monday will be great. here's the seven-day forecast. we do warm up. by tuesday, a few showers but we're close to 60. a few showers

we're in the lower 60 -- around 60 thursday, with sun and clouds, right now, next friday, for the big inauguration, we're going to go 58 degrees, sun and clouds and i think we're keeping it dry now, hopefully we'll be able to keep it dry and we could even make it a little bit warmer before we get there have not shawn? sarah, back over to you >> you got my attention. >> you might >> remember the previous inaugurations as warm as we can get would be nice. >> gosh it was ridiculous. how would you describe the president-elect's relationship with the media, right now it's pretty rocky. we're going to tell you about the news outlets to cover the news administration. keep your tweets coming to #5at630.

. mr. president-elect, can you give us a question? >> that was uncomfortable. the president-elect wednesday lashing out there at cnn reporter, >> journalists are joining forces to come up with a plan to cover the president-elect. >> joining us with more on what they have planned is joe concha, media reporter for the hill. i hear they got this meeting coming wednesday, what do you think are going to be some of the specifics about how they're going to be covering the president-elect? >> well, when i look at the people that will be part of this panel from univision and the huffing ton post, remember, they put donald trump in they are entertainment section for months. univision obviously not a big fan. cnn brian stelter will be

this stand more like a strategy session allow to cover him negatively >> we know that donald trump since the campaign has had a lot of disrupt and back and forth with the media. a new poll shows that of the professions the media journalists were sort of at the bottom when it comes to trust. how do we, as journalists turn that around for the purpose the general public so they start trusting us again and believing us again, especially when we have public figures who like to call the stories we're reporting fake news, if it puts them in a bad light >> doing the job better, for starters, stop focusing on the shiny objects. sensational stuff, everybody focused on donald trump >> is it the tweets? do you think there's too much reporting on exactly what he's tweeting >> i think there's too much reporting on donald trump the person, not donald trump the policies enough. i believe the reason why he won and it was such a shock because he had a message that resonated with voters in wisconsin and michigan and

ohio, i'm going to improve trade keep your jobs here and you can trust me and he ended up wentsing those states, hillary clinton had no message, it was donald trump is a bad guy vote for me. folk on his policies keep your eye on on the ball as far as donald trump's promises and go from there, when you start calling him hitler, he's racist he's this, he's that, half the country will shut us off immediately and today, guys, nbc matt lauer when president obama gave joe biden the metal of freedom. and then andrea mitchell said i cried too. half the country hears that and said why are you crying? i is there emotion? get that out of here. it paints a horrible broad brush against good journalists you or me and that are trying to get to the facts >> i got to ask you playing devil got advocate, wha

it wrong because it seems like it's partisan >> my wife is anner, doctor, i get there will be human aspects when it's a partisan event when you have a president giving a vice president, at surprise and it's a nice event don't share with the american people that you cried because then people say why are you crying because you love obama? were there's a human moment, that's how half the people in this country will do that. >> i think you make a very good point. i want to ask you, let's say, you can, we get back to, you know, as you said people need to keep their eye on the ball. they do that, they're fact checking and putting both sides out but there continues to be the tweets perhaps from donald trump saying that fake news. how do you think the media fights back against that and i guess, you know, sort of of along the lines with what shawn was saying win back in trust? >> just keep getting stories

look at 2017, washington journal, the russians hacked the vermont power grid then boy, a day later we learned it was some guy's laptop. every day seems like and i cover this, there's a mistake made that gets donald trump all the ammunition he needs like buzzfeed putting out that which it was completely unverified where he could paint the whole brush against the entire media, cnn, abc and suddenly it becomes not a buzzfeed but a washington journal problem, it's the media in general. when you attack an unpopular institution like the media, let me tell you how unpopular the media is right now, 6% of americans have high confidence in the media. it's going to be a long road and donald trump is going to exploit it every chance he gets. thanks so much, we appreciate it. have a great weekend. well, as you know, first family is preparing to move out of the white house. >> the first
