of course donald trump attacked chuck jones after chuck jones called him a liar.ck jones, who is president of the united steel workers 1999, has done a terrible job of representing workers. no wonder companies flee country. chuck jones responded to donald trump on this program. >> i'm not backing up on my position one iota. he's wrong. i'm right. and we'll move on. and if he wants to keep on tweeting, i'll keep on responding. what he said was saving 1100 jobs, that was a falsehood. in all reality, like i said, 730 are staying, and here in indianapolis, 550 are losing their livelihood. >> chuck jones was outraged that donald trump was lying to the 550 people who chuck jones knew were going to be laid off. he hated having to tell those union members that president-elect trump was lying to them. he wished that donald trump was telling them the truth, that they weren't losing the jobs. chuck jones told them the truth because he knew they had futures to plan, christmas presents to buy, budgeting to do with the knowledge that they were going to be laid off. they needed

but chuck, here's the deal.ve led, as i've indicated, this effort since year 2000 with reductions in the co 2 footprint and pre-1994 levels today. not because of paris, not because of kyoto, but because of american ingenuity and novation. >> i'm struck. you truly believe that many of these countries signed on to paris and were trying to get ths united states to sign on to it for economic reasons? >> if you look at the criticismo that was levied against paris in 2015, there was as much criticism on the environmental left as there was on the right. >> sure.he some thought it should have gone further. >> i'll tell you why. they were upset. in fact, james hansen, former nasa scientist, as you know, called paris a fake and a fraud. the general counsel of the sierra club contemporaneously to pariss being signed, the agreement.t. the reason they said those things is because the rest of the world, china and india in particular, largest polluters we have on the planet didn't have to take any steps until after 2030 and th

>> and i just found chuck. >> they're like, hey, we're coming early. >> chuck running in here. happy friday. >> yes, indeed. we're doing really well. >> i was wondering where the clicker was. it was underneath melissa's makeup bag. you can't see it at home either. >> we found it so that's good. >> we're all underway. i probably don't need this much. >> you're a beautiful woman, why is this bag >> you need to make changes this early in the morning. >> four things you need to know about the weather early this morning. rain chances are climbing as we go through the rest of today. most of the weekend looks pretty good but there could be some thunderstorms around here tomorrow afternoon. our best chance for rain really comes up later this afternoon. sunday looks like it's going to be a steamer for sure. talking about temperatures. let's go over to miss lauren rickets. good morning. >> temperatures out there right now. a little on the warm side. we're in the 60s and 70s at this point. we will have a little bit more humidity throughout the day today. 71 in washington. 70 and upper 60s

most of you see chuck on the tv shows or the front page of newspapers and he likes being there. but i want to point out there's another part. he is committed to his constituency. this is a man whose not forgotten his roots. he returns to new york every weekend and over the course of the year will visit all 62 counties because he remembers that these are the constituents that put him in office. i'll give you a personal story. a number of years ago i'm walking across the park and for those who don't know it, it's a fairly wide street and a car comes human across and stops to me and in the back window goes down, chuck and he says john. this is the best liverwurst sandwich i've ever had and he hands me half a sandwich and then the car drives off and i'm like in the middle of the intersection with his liverwurst sandwich. so i can tell you that he's not only somebody who goes to battle for his constituents, he also will give them the food from his mouth. now, notwithstanding all these positive comments i'm supposed to remind you ajc is profusely nonpartisan.we do not support candidat

hi, chuck. >> good morning, melissa. cloudy skies await you. little sunshine around lunchtime but more clouds than anything else. temperature wise up into the 80s again later on this afternoon. keep the 90s at bay for a little while. four things to know, finally rain chances are going up. 60% chance for rain today and monday looks very stormy. stormy weather is likely also for our commute home from work later on in the day. mainly dry this weekend. rule out a stray shower or two saturday or sunday. it will be 71 in washington. temperatures elsewhere in the upper 60s and low 70s. there's a marginal risk for strong to severe thunderstorms later this afternoon. not looking for big, severe weather outbreak but any individual thunderstorm could certainly pro of rain. sprinkles outside this morning going up i-95 in maryland and a few showers out here in southern fairfax and prince william county. rain chances will go up as we get later on into the afternoon. for more about the father's day weekend let's go over to lauren rickets. >> good morning, chu

first though from sheena parveen and chuck bell.ional mall this morning with the forecast. >> reporter: that's right. it is a great looking day to be outside today. clear skies. cool and comfortable outside. everyone coming out for the early morning walk, jog, bike kind of weather. clear skies. temperatures around the region are nice and low. mostly in the 50s, low 60s around downtown. there you can see 51 degrees down in warrington. 52 in st. mary's county. cool and come iffy. today will be the warmest of the next couple of days at the beach. temperatures upper 70s to near 8 80 today. as you get into saturday and sunday, a smidgen cooler. temperatures in the mid 70s. looks perfect and dry. a chance for thunderstorms late on sunday. by the time you're leaving the beach, that's when it is allowed to rain. let's go back into the studio. go to sheena or maine slays? >> it's melissa. i'll take it. metro, blue line single tracking between addison road and stadium armory. wanted to warn you about that. southbound 27 as you're getting on t

chuck bell is outside to tell us more about it. good morning to you, chuck. >> good morning. what a great day to be outside today. there's a nice south wind out here. got my hair blown over a little bit. going to be warm today. be ready. today will be the first of many 90-degree days coming as we get out of your holiday weekend. another chance for thunderstorms later on today. i'll let you know where that thunderstorm chance is highest coming up. >>> and chuck, we're watching a crash on 95 in woodbridge and it has all northbound north facing e-zpass express lanes blocked. the vehicles overturned on its roof and northbound between the prince william parkway and 123 where all traffic remains at a complete stop in the e-zpass lanes. main line gets by. to the right past the rescue party. in maryland, issues in fairland, northbound 29 is blocked near randolph road and cherry hill. traffic is sent on to the service road. this affects northbound 29 heading north toward cheney. the southbound lanes are open. luckily, volume on the right side in -- back to you. >>> we're following bre

chuck, how's it feeling? time i walked out i went ahead and shedded the jacket before i came out. it's already very, very muggy out here early today. be very cautious today. make sure you stay hydrated. there's a picture of our rising sun now. poor air quality to boot. in addition to the heat, haze, humidity kind of a gujy sky overhead. in the 60s and 70s now. it's going to be a sizzler of a day to be outside. afternoon highs low to mid 90s across most of the area. make sure you have your spf on. nbc washington app will help you plan out the heat for the next later in the week. we'll take some of the edge off of the heat. let's go into melissa mollet. let's hope the traffic is taking it easy on us this morning. >> you know what, it's actually pretty nice out there. perhaps some people on vacation on this monday morning. chopper 4 over 270 southbound at the split, you can see those folks there headed onto the inner loop of the beltway. northbound 28 after compton road, do have a new disabled vehicle there caus

you have to have fuel diversity, chuck. because if we go to a all renewable, all natural gas type of an approach, if there is an attack on the transportation network, there is only so much natural gas that can go into that facility to generate electricity. we need solids stored on site to draw down upon for threats to our grid. fuel diversity, stability, consistency is key to the manufacturing base. it's also key to keeping costs low. our price per kilowatt is far less than what it is in germany, far less than what it is in europe, and we need to keep that approach. >> one other argument you made against this deal is that you thought that it should have been ratified. it should have been debated in the public. it should have been sent to the united states senate. you know who had the power to do that? your administration had the power to do that. you could have changed the deal. you could have gone to the united states senate and done what you said should have been done, have a full-throated debate with the american people.

chuck bell is outside to tell us more about it. good morning to you, chuck. >> good morning.eat day to be outside today. there's a nice south wind out here. got my hair blown over a little bit. going to be warm today. be ready. today will be the first of many 90-degree days coming as we get

i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. weather alert day today. a quiet start to the day. sun is already up. it's breezy and warm now. that wind is bringing in increasing chances for strong to severe thunderstorms later this afternoon into this evening. i'll show you future weather and help you plan out your week coming up. look at that beautiful rainbow to get your day started in fairfax toint county. introducing the ifrom subway.ction head in now to grab the five dollar footlong spicy italian. loaded with salami and pepperoni. for a limited time, is just five dollars. it's a big value for even bigger flavor. only at subway. >>> well, the hot weather this summer could affect you here at the airport. airlines say that flights could be delayed if there is extreme heat. happened to my husband yesterday. >> turns out the high temperatures make it harder for airplanes to take off. airlines say they're watching the forecast. chuck says we're expecting

sheena parveen has that. >> chuck, as we go through the week, most of it like chuck mentioned, low humidityry comfortable. by the end of the week, it's going to be feeling like summer again with temperatures well above normal. so today, tomorrow below normal. by thursday, 90. normal high 87. the highs stick around for the weekend. cape may, sunday. late chance of a thunderstorm. good friday, saturday. late thunderstorms on sunday. ocean city pretty much the same thing. sunday is going to be the best chance of rain all the way to virginia beach. let's look at the extended forecast now being, chuck. >>> there's the extended. those afternoon thunderstorm chances do creep back into the picture as we get back to more summer-like heat and humidity friday into the weekend. enjoy the weather while we've got it. >> thank you. >>> it's 6:56. four things to know this morning. maryland governor larry hogan asked the state board of education to investigate the prince george's county school system. whistle blowers say they have evidence on the investigation. >>> ten cents more during rush hour, 25 cents

>> sandra: that was chuck schumer responding to the release of the senate g.o.p.re bill just a little while ago. we had already heard from him. he was criticized earlier by mitch mcconnell for saying that he reacted before he had seen it. now he said time to look at it. in that moment, he said this bill abandons those with pre-existing conditions, d funds planned parenthood. he said nursing home care will go up and it will cause health care cost to go up overall. i feel like opening to meghan mccain first. the >> meghan: it's lot of fearmongering. in arizona, premiums are up over 100%. there is only one health care provider and every civil county except one. he's saying that this is a tax break for millionaires? i don't understand the correlation in this fantasy land of democrats where this is going well, where obamacare hasn't been a complete disaster and by the way, a complete bottom line -- i'm so angry right now, i can't speak. it's not fair for him to fearmonger. >> sandra: next to him was an easel with that poster board that said mean and he had written with

i'm chuck todd here in washington. welcome to "mtp daily." republicans are in some desperate need of leadership on the issue of health care. and today the president dropped a truly massive, inappropriate, and unpresidential mess into the party's lap at exactly the wrong time. by now, you've probably seen the tweets or presidential statements as the white house calls them, that i'm talking about. as members of his own party have pointed out, the president's statements about two of my colleagues here on msnbc are beneath the office he holds. they are shameless and undignified. but the white house does not seem to see it that way. >> when the president gets hit, he's going to hit back harder, which is what he did here today. >> doesn't he have to meet a higher standard than cable news media, sarah? >> i don't think you can expect someone to be personally attacked day after day, minute by minute, and sit back. look, the american people elected a fighter. they didn't elect somebody to sit back and do nothing. that's -- they knew what they were get

chuck is the a new album. hey guys, there's an organization called a serious fun children's network. you might have heard about it. it was started by paul newman as a camp for kids with serious illnesses. and now they have like 30 camps around the world. and basically, it lets kids be kids. and just have some fun and raise a little hell. anyway, a few years back i teamed up with ben & jerry's on a flavor called tonight dough. [ cheers and applause ]

we'll start with chuck bell on the weather alert day.ost 80 degrees already in d.c., chuck. >> those of us who live in the urban heat aisle, it doesn't cool down a whole lot at night. national airport part of the temperature trend temperatures during the overnight. also annapolis, our friends and neighbors by the chesapeake bay. bay waters getting warmer and warmer. it's getting difficult to cool down in annapolis. washington, 76 degrees. once you get away from the water and city, isn't too bad. 66 in gaithersburg, front royal, marti martinsburg. hazy and humid by 10:00 a.m. in the 90ed by lunchtime today. very poor air quality. if you have outdooryard work to do, do it early or very late. for filling up your gas tank, either do it before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. because the fumes that come out of your gas tank make the air quality all the worse. temperature trend over the next few days, we have to swelt ter through today and tomorrow. those routes are just fine. don't have any big worries there. inner loop and outer loop of the belt

you've got a lot of judges who are making the law. >> meghan: chuck grassley is tearing into chuck schumer calling him reckless. one of the obama administration folks being looked at for possible unmasking of those names, susan rice, now asking why me and then smack you living on the answer. what she says and if she is right next. (dog) mmm. this new beneful grain free is so healthy... oh! farm-raised chicken! that's good chicken. hm!? here come the accents. blueberries and pumpkin. wow. and spinach! that was my favorite bite so far.

chuck, business goes on.aid delivery trucks were coming and going already this morning. >> reporter: [ muted ] a. >> we appear to have a little trouble with chuck's audio. we are going to continue to follow this developing story, we have the latest on the investigation. we'll get back in touch with chuck. in the meantime, we are posting all the information you need to know at nbc bay area.com. let's talk about politics this morning. in washington, special counsel robert mueller is now investigating president trump for possible obstruction of justice. that is new reporting from the "washington post." the report says the investigation expanded to the president days after he fired days after fbi director comey. president trump's team says fbi leaking information is the real problem but keep in mind the post never said the information came from the fbi. >>> let's get back to chuck in san francisco at the u.p.s. facility where we saw that active shooter situation developing yesterday. chuck, what can you tell us t

well, good evening, i'm chuck todd in washington. voters are headed to the polls right now in the highly anticipated expensive special election. the victorious canned dit will become part of the u.s. house of representatives. the other party will receive a loud wake up call and the issue of healthcare will be shaken up regardless of who comes out on top. democrats will see their best chance of a special election win slip through their fingers probably for an entire calender year. and that was before he was officially under investigation. democratic donors will likely be limited and wasting effort, and could exasperate the ongoing ideological fight in the party. republicans going to the 2018 mid-term elections with a bitter taste in their mouth, from a close loss and without a certain political strategy. a handle loss would be another negative headline to heap onto the russia investigation. but perhaps the biggest ram fakz of today's race could be on healthcare. thal keep the foot on the gas on healthcare and get the bill through the

so i rushed over on intense room, my knees are knocking and a lovely man comes to me and says chuck, and very much enjoyed meeting your entire family, especially your grandmother but answer for me one question, what is a chuckinu and how do we take care of it? [applause] >> he thought she was lobbying on some issue or other. >> okay. >> first on a far more serious note, the horrible, rebel attacks in london over the weekend, another reminder that the global community faces global threats and the values and principles we have come to cherish, we will only be able to confront and ultimately get the stress by working together and standing shoulder to shoulder and the one other point i made, the whole world has experienced the horror of terrorism but 30, 40 years ago it was only israel experienced it and the rest of the world in pay too much attention and it grew and grew and grew. will never make that mistake again wherever terrorism rears its ugly head. >> so first let me talk about something we are all troubled and worried about. that is the rising tide of anti-semitism around the wor

chuck schumer. >> thank you, everybody. thank you john for that great introduction. he's been a friend of mine for decades. i've looked for them advice in issues related to israel. he's doing a great job over the last year as president of ajc. you're lucky to have john at the helm. stanley bergman was the predecessor, hair yrriett is noe chair of the board of governors, david harris is amazing and has done this great job for decades. thank them all. and a relative, milton cooper is active through marriage. would have been nice if i was a direct descendant, but no such luck. i want to praise him as well. i always like to start off by telling a story. and this one -- some of the new yorkers have heard it, but most of you have not, so i'll tell this story. it's about -- it goes under the category, i've never met you in person. in 1992 i was a congressman. i was redistricted from brooklyn to a district partially in brooklyn, partially in queens. i see nita lowy here. hi. i was campaigning in queens to meet my constituents and a

i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell on a cool thursday morning. a lot of people are starting to plan their trip down to the beach this weekend. what a great beach weekend it's going to be. friday, sunshine and 77 at the coast line. highs in the low 80s. we'll be a lot warmer than that here. i have your ten day forecast next time i see you. >>> we are also working for all you virginia drivers who use i-66 to get to and from work. when you can expect to see new lines testing and then willing to. >>> first, the latest on the james comey testimony. >> all eyes will be on capitol hill today as former fbi director james comey testifies before the senate intelligence committee. while we already know at least some of what comey will say, it could set the stage for interesting questions for lawmakers. >> all of it having a big on how the russia investigation moves forward. tracie potts is here. tracie, has the release of comey's prepared statements going to affect the way lawmakers ask questions today? >> what it does, eun, it gives them an opportunity to

chuck joining us with a bit of a change-up. feel like we're, i don't know, kind of dodging the rain drops a little bit. >> yeah, a little bit. we're missing them all month long and today's rain chance will once again primarily be more of a miss than a hit here in and around the city. rain chances today focusing mainly out onto the shenandoah valley. rain chances peeking here in the city as we head towards sunday and rain chance. on a quiet thursday morning, skies are partly to mostly cloudy. sun will be up here shortly at 5:42 in the morning. as i mentioned, this is our earliest sunrise of the year. we get to keep it here for the next week or so. today we get 14:53 of daylight. got to love this time of the year. 73 degrees in washington with a light wind out of the southeast averaging only 6 miles per hour. that general easterly component of the wind has taken quite a bit off the edge of the temperatures. 60s in the shenandoah valley. low 70s in the d.c. metro area. a mix of clouds and sunshine here early this morning. clouds w

now i just talked to chuck bell in the weather center.e said the good news is it's headed back into the sea and the chance of it boomeranging back is slim. chris, eun. >>> sometimes you need a story to bring a smile to your face in the morning. a new miss senior d.c. has been crowned. >> all right. the pageant took place at the university of columbia yesterday. here you're seeing the past winners were reunited and competed at this year's ceremony. they we they wore fashions representing the year they took part in the competition. they were judged on elegance, talent and community service. the d.c. office on aging sponsored the annual event. this year, eight d.c. residents, 60 or over competed for the title. frances curtis johnson took home the crown, miss senior d.c. congrats to all who competed. >>> new information from melissa mollet in first 4 traffic. >> breaking news on the beltway? >> breaking news. take a look at this. inner loop here at van dorn street. we're shut down. have a two-plus mile backup here that's built up in the past

let's get to chuck bell before we check in with melissa. chuck, we hit a record yesterday. will we get close to that or hit another record? >> we will be within a degree or two of record highs. 95 at national airport.

here's the irony, chuck, i think this is important. if the leaks were correct about this investigation. those were leaks, they're not substantiated and we have no knowledge of an investigation. if those leaks were correct, here's what the legal theory would have to be and this would raise a serious constitutional issue right from the beginning. you would have had the president of the united states reviewing a letter and recommendations from his department head. and that would be the attorney general of the united states, as well as others. i'm sure he had consultation with other people and that's the nature of these issues. and he made a determination based on that consultation, based on a deliberative process to terminate the fbi director. >> that's not what the president said to lester holt. the president said to lester holt that he had already made the decision to fire james comey. so i'm confused here. you just said he asked for this consultation, which, by the way, let me also say here, mr. roe rosenstein, in his prepared statemen
