>> on the roads.th >> on the roads. >> well on the highway this th morning, tucker. i can tell that you theing,t news is y all of that activity y had to deal in the southeast has cleared. according to the melanie who is reporting live from the navye this morning. folks were headed back to work. it was to complicated earlier because the truck was broke endown on the roadway, all ofy, the activity is re-opened between 5th and 7th 5th street in southeast.heast. accident activity southbound 195, near 198, follow police direction to get through. heavy volume, to get through,ug, and washington parkway, droppin to if i miles pe 50 miles per h laurel following the parkway. the lanes are open, the inner loop of the beltway congested from saint barnabas road across the wilson bridgege headed to virginia.ed to no accidents to report on the outer loop. speed continuinginuin from alexandria. will you find inbound south capitol street, heavy volume working up toward the freeway. no accidents to reporte on kenilworth avenue, the pace wil slow from eastern avenue to thee

11th street bridge and 395, on the brakes, headed toward seminary road. ro. one more stretch of the brake lights, headed from the pont gone tpentagonto the 14th stree. the pentagon says it will review the security clearance process in response to monday'ss shooting at the navy yard. the security clearance for the alleged gun man aaron alexis dates back to 2008. the pentagon reports that shortly after he enlisted in the navy reserve, he got that clearance and he was notas not required to renew that th clearance. that is raising questions approximate the vetting prosees foprocessfor anyone who requirea clearance. the direct or the center for hope for homeland security at the university of maryland, thanks for being with us today. >> nice to be here. >> i know you talk ago nauseam about these issues -- add no, sir see yui think hewas given te

in 2008. since then it happens he has had a mental deteriorating mentalnt capacity if you will, but he didn't have to go back and review?eview? >> well, i think the beginningt of this problem is that there are 5 million people with security clearances and the ability to vet or to follow someone has gotten a security clearance is very weak. in fact, a lot of maybe almost 80% of the people who are responsible for the security clearance investigations are contractors themselves. they are not federal employees. so -- and i think the final thing here that is a problem, i his security clearance is probably supposed to be re-certified every five years, we got a 2008, some time during this year he should have been re-certified. >> okay. ed. thereal problem is that rhode island police had called

to the navy base, he was working at rhode island and reported ale of this stuff several weeks ago, and it just never got acted on. >> right. >> the security clearances should be such as that they are realtime information comes in,oo we are technologically able toae keep up realtime information and if that information had been realtime, they may have been may able to get to him before monday's events. >> how does it work, as far as, you said there's often contracted during the vetting for another contractors.ctors. >> right. >> is it a fact, after 9/11. we saw all of these agencies trying to dot same thing and not talking together, they were were streaming lining.eaming is that what is going on here. >> most of the investigation iso centered at the office of personnel management or whoever the agency isor that is granting the security clearance. the problem here is keeningkeenn

track of 5 million people with security clearances. so we saw the problem, the tragedy of monday f you go pack to snowden's release. there was a man who didn't have a high school diploma and he had the keys to the kingdom.dom. we classify too much information. we have too many people walking around with security clearances. we don't have enough people keeping track of either granting the clearances or recertifying or following the person with th clearance along.cl this isea a big problem, becaus you had snowden, you have this, there's doubtless others out there and i think the whole security clearance issue needs to be examined from top totop bottom ask it appears that isper what they're goings to do that. >> you say that and i want to read this from general martin dempsey. he says those who have served in the military should not bebe stigmatized by having to answerr

questions approximate their mental health status on -- about their mental health status on the security clearance forms. >> think that has come back to haunt -- there's marriage counseling or people who are getting rape counseling are coun outside of the mental health system, but think have you to balance privacy against public safety. if somebody is having the kind mental counseling that this man had or should have had, the navy needs to know about that. and every mass shooting inciden when you go back, there areback reports of mental instability of. that was trueility in the conne school shooting. it was true at virginia tech. it was true at the movie theatre shooting in colorado. so i think had he just -- i'mi' sympathetic to the fact of not stigmatizing people, but we

would love to have those 12 people pack if there's been an honest report on this. >> in the short time we havewe a together.gether sir, let me ask you, because this yo is a huge, issue, it's t just contracts, because he wasws able to walk into the building with his mental state and with the gun and all of that.th. what do we do from here. >> last point, i don't know how he got in with a gun, with a shotgun.gu >> he disassembled. >> that should be caught.be if he went -- if he carried in the bag. the security clearance gives you access to classifiedfied information, it doesn't allow to you walk into a building with a broken down shotgun. that was a big weakness in thes system, he should have been stopped someplace. >> do you think thatoppe we nowl take a hard look, and what are we looking at? >> we are firs first of all, tht simple fact that how does somebody walk into a building with a disassembled shotgun in n

the body or in a bag, but thenut the whole system needs to work better. you can't keep track of 5 million people and you can'tnu have contractors investigating other contractors. there's some element of this of quickly, and if you gotarances private industry involved in this, the metric they're operating under is get it done quickly. there's been 18 of those investigators who have been indicted for fraud and there's lots of other investigationsigao pending. so this is needs a top to bottom reassessment. >> michael bloomberg i greenbere president of center for health f and homeland security. we will be right back. 

you know those expiration and use by date we have on the foods we eat. it's leading to millions of pounds of wasted food in the u.s. annie join us with what is

behind the kitchen confusion. i didn't make that up. the number is astounding, it's 90% of americans are prematurely tossing good food away, because they're confusedrn by the sell by, use by dates. they're looking at the actual date and tossing it it out to the date they see on then th package. >> most of the food is still good when we are tossing it out? >> that's the thing.g. basically the study is saying that you should store the food. that is more important than the date, really. because if you store -- that is definitely the crucial part. pa but you know, people arear throwing away, based on dates, and the report was conducted byy the natural resources defensefee council and harbor food law -- - laferred fooharvard food law, t like sell by is the date that is there to help retailers manages their p inventory. and it's telling the store that they need to put that product out within that specific timeframe so it's still goodgo once it's home and it has a good

shelf life. >> so they actually suggested using both the quality and safety based dates. so it's much easier for consumers. okay, this date should be put out on such and such date, and used by, just a little more clarity. >> best by. >> and they're also suggestingtg that they should put more mo information about how to store the food, because that plays a crucial part. >> a lost information in expiration. >> when i see sell by, in my head, you're saying this, it's's because it's arpe arbitrary. >> you actually think that. >> when i see sell by, i confuso that with the expiration date. my thing is why not put the sell by 000, something we don't know, because there's a bunch of codeh on food that we buy that i don'a

know what it means, anyway. >> like a meat product that isat going to go away, but if it'st f something else, i will go all the way with it. >> but you know the difference between sell by and use by? >> well it just got clarified. >> most people if there's no's n mold on it, like strawberriesbee will get mold easily. i know people that will cut offu the mold and eat the strawberries red. if i see a little inkling of mold that thing is going in the trash. my mother will tear off of thef mold area, and drinks milk if it's past the expiration. i'm, mom, toss that. she will use it for a milk bath or do something. there's people that don't snsh. >> products that i consume thath don't have any date at all. >> a vending machine. >> think of it this way, the th sell by date, they wouldn't sayy sell by july 7th for

example, and then -- that's not going to be the expiration date, because they wouldn't let thehe store sell it right up to the expiration date. >> why do we even have to see sell by if we're not the retailer. >> sell by, such and such date. we know as consumers that when we take it home we still have a few days, like seven days,, that's the goal that you use. >> i don't save them after theth expiration date.ti >> i don'ton mess with milk. >> i don't, either. >> land hard on that one. let's go to the forecast,t, the expiration date on the niceh forecast ise looking good for th next couple of days. >> you're selling this forecast today n we will get a sell by. >> 57. i wish i had on the stock market sell by.sell 55 in new york city, 46 in in binghamton, and we have looking fine. high pressure nice weather for r the day. warm front prufned throug pushe this morning. cold front, that

gerd is an easier way to put it. as many as 5 had 10 americans have symptoms of gerd. the most common symptom is frequent heartbur could be more serious signs, rejernlgtation, difficult swallowing. this could affect your coughing, wheezing and chest pain.est it happens when lying down at night. i want you to understand, ideran asked an expert what is going og with this gerd, why is it so painful? it's pretty interesting. as food land in your stomach,ac the digestive juices go to work to breakdown that food, but that is acid.. that acid is traveling back pask a valve that it shouldn't get past. >> it's essentially hydrochlorio acid, while it makes its way through the esophagus, while the stomach is lined, the esophagus is not. it can work its way up to the te

throat, and it causes problems s with the larynxes, and cough,d and it can even make it to the lungs. >> all right so, what do you do? the doctor's advice is if youf u are taking medication every day, you need to see a doctor and get evaluated so they can try toy figure out what the issue is. but what you can do starting today, create an eating curfew. don't eat three hours beforere pedestrian. that is a small thing that you can -- before bed. and that is a small thing that you can change. and doctors believe in sleepingg on a wedge, six-eight inches that raises your head, can and that helps gerd and everything where it's supposed to be. you need to be careful about self medicating and losing weight has shown to reduce thede symptoms of gerd or acid reflux. speaking of eating, pardont, the segueway here, but we'ree talking about broccoli, now, but we not talking about eating this

veggie, we're talking aboutlking rubbing it on our skin for r preventing skin cancer. you said, what did you say, the, story of the day for me? >> i know, are they for real? what are they doing in those labs you wonder when you hearyou this story. brock clerks it's a super food. -- broccoli it's a super food. we know eating is great for us. now they're talking about theout rubbing it on your skin, it's the chemical inside of the broccoli that scientists are finding to have protective effects. when rubbed into the skin, not, only does it reduce the risk of sunburn, but researchers from the university of arizona cancen center and john hopkins they hok found that it can also trigger chemo protective genes.ective those are genes that would protect somebody from the toxicc effects of chemotherapy. that is pretty serious stuff. st skin cancer, as you know, isknoi probably the most common form of cancer in the united states. so what do they do now? it's not that people are going

to bee rubbing broccoli all ovr their bodies, but they thinkt they can get in that lab and take the it from the broccoli and turn it into some kind of position, lotion, something and, it will protect people's skins from sunburn and maybe evenybe protect them more than that. so it's pretty exciting research. >> it sure is anding we can read all the ingredients in that one, too, brock clerks loo broccoli.. >> tina, thank you very much. tony over to you. over in our next hour, roasting a redskins legend.redski three time super bowl champ jeff bostic is joining us live. he was just in here. he looks like he can play. >> was star struck when he walked? he is going to give us ave s special event in honor of coach joe. 8:55. we will be right back.
