>> reporter: there you go, bruce. i'm on my way now to tallahassee taking the inland route from i-81 to the shenandoah valley. i'm reporting from behind the wheel. why is that? let me take you on a tour of our mobile newsroom. it leverages the latest digital technology to allow me to report live will on the move from just about anywhere. it's uniquely capable for big weather events like isaac. there is an in-car camera that allows me he to talk to you and another that allows you to see what's going on as i move from point a to point b. so yes, i can talk to you with both eyes on the wheel and eyes on the road as if we were talking on a hands-free cell phone. and i can also talk to you from my traditional broadcast camera. my motto is, news does not happen in the newsroom. you've got to be mobile. now 9 news has the best of both worlds. so all of this super cool mobile technology is great nor keeping you informed about a big weather event like isaac. for me, the biggest challenge is going to be keeping it all dry. all

well first of all let me say in terms of and terms of what bruce has just said and i should note here for the record that bruce is a former colleague from the reagan administration although we've not met and i can't see him i recognize his distinctive voice and it's safe to say that bruce reflects what i think has become a difference among conservatives about america's role in the world and i certainly would challenge the thought that congressman paul has expressed and that bruce just tried to do a thumbnail there of that we have never been in a situation where we've gone abroad and done all these things until relatively modern history he quotes john quincy adams who of course was the secretary of state for james monroe who instituted the monroe doctrine which basically drew a line around the western hemisphere i.e. outside the borders of the united states and said if you come here you're going to have trouble so we have been getting involved in affairs outside our borders since the very beginning of this country's formal founding as the united states that said i certainly think that

next speaker. >> my name is bruce but that -- bruce bodett. i am a gay historian of sorts. i do not go to mcdonald's as a gay man looking for a sense of who i am. i know mcdonald's does cater to straight and gay people. i go to day establishments. -- i go to gay establishments, places that think about and offer a place of safety, a place of support. they get my support. i am against this transfer and this different kind of business coming into the space, and would love to see something which would serve my community once again directly, not in directly -- indirectly. we need more safe places to go, more safe places to be, a place where the lovely person in the habit can feel comfortable. let's say if the gate-centric lyrics -- gay-centric lyrics, the owners might feel the need to censure the fact that someone might be in the habit or singing about a beer-can sized penis. god bless the old eagle for allowing the sort of thing to happen. supervisor elsbernd: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. thank you for the special hearing this morning. my nam

dave owens is here with this story. >> what's up bruce?hat's right year after year skins fans prove they're some of the most intense and loyal followers in the game. i see that personally on game days and also every year at training camp fan fest. last year, 29,000 showed up to cheer on burgundy and gold. this was a record. like you say today, 24,000 or just a little bit over 24,000 descended upon the park to cheer on their favorite team. the traditional redskins band was there playing the fight song of course. mike shanahan addressed the crowd and it was a spectacle as always. this year rg3 was the main attraction of course and as always, fans feel like this is the year. >> honestly i think we're looking at a 10 win season. i think we're going to hit the playoffs and i think we'll go deep into them. >> it's a lot of people. it's really hot but it's fun. >> who's your favorite player? >> chris cooley. >> him for me. >> okay. >> all right, mike shanahan told the crowd afterwards quote -- i really think you're going to love this football tea

possibly because the sting operation, bruce, is still ongoing. a lot of activity on a saturday night. we've seen a lot of officers driving up and down this portion of u.s. 1, and it could be in the next few days, more names are added to this list of 70. by the way, we should say that none of the people arrested had any links whatsoever to the university of maryland. reporting live in college park, i'm armando trull. >> thanks, armando. ♪ ♪ >>> it was fan appreciation day out at redskins park. more than 24,000 turned out to see the home team. much of the excitement was caused by rookie quarterback rg3. dave owens is here with that story. >> bruce, that 24,000 a little off from last year's attendance of 29,000, which by the way was a fan appreciation day record. still 24,000 is pretty good. burgundy and gold nation has been abuzz every since the team moved up to get like you say rg3. redskins park was packed today as fans desended upon ash burn to clear on their favorite team. the band was there playing the fight song, of course. mike shanahan addr

what happened here, bruce?ll, the operation was a success, but unfortunately the patient died. well, look, my argument was essentially political, that it simply makes no sense for romney to put ryan on the ticket, if only because he doesn't attract a single new vote to romney that he didn't already have. and he brings along a lot of baggage, the ann rand stuff, the abolish medicare stuff. so it just made no sense to me. and i still think that's right. i have yet to find a compelling argument for why romney picked ryan. >> well, i don't think you're going to find one from me. ezra klein, let's get into the ryan plan, and what his stardom is based on. what is in the ryan plan and what is left out of the ryan plan. >> so what is in the ryan plan at this point is a somewhat softer, from its initial version, way of moving medicare over to private insurance, or retain the option to be a normal medicare, but you pick from a bunch of private insurers too. >> that's the latest -- that's the thing that -- >> that is the

bernardino is called safe and bruce, get out of here. bases still loaded. circumstance suzuki back in the bay. and bernadino score. vogelsong gave up eight runs, 14-2, nats. >> in pittsburgh, the flying hawaiian. two-run homer to propel l.a. with a win and tie with san francisco in the top of the league. >> witness tonight's raiders, cowboys, the final was 3-0. but john gudden first visit since the superbowl. carson palmer, mcfadden looked good. palmer, less than three minutes, goes deep. intercepted. his old back-up at usc matt line ert, some issues. and he drops it. and here a roll out. he misses from 47. only points of the game. dan daily 33 yard. pryor running for his life. all this for a nine-yard gain in the first down. dennis allen had this to say in the 3-0 loss. >> we got to be better. i'm certainly not ready to hit a pennant button. we have a lot of time to get ready. i've got all the confidence they will need where we need. >> i was angry at myself. carson played great, i can't play like craig. >> thanks, a larry. >> "nightline" is coming up next

derek. >> bruce, very quickly. any word on whether that suspect could face any charges regarding the death or the injury to the other officer? >> we don't know, i mean, it is an interesting legal concept because as we understand it, they were pursuing this suspect vehicle and that they were some distance back. there was some talk early on that they might have swerved into the suspect, the suspect may have swerved and forced the police cruiser into the road. as we understand it, that is not what happened. so what kind of legal construct they can make there, i don't know. we'll have to wait and see what the charges are. >> missouri congress member, todd aiken has decided to stay in the race for the u.s. senate. the republican candidates resisted calls, even from those in his own party leadership to get out, following the comments he made yesterday about rape and talking about abortion and pregnancy. today, aiken released a new campaign commercial in which he says, race is an evil act, i use the wrong words in the wro
