jason pugh and i will be live before the game, and we will break it down on the postgame report and ons4 at atlanta 11:00. hope to see you then. >>> well, picture all of this and then add in 1600 school buses. i'm adam tuss. i will tell you how fairfax county is getting ready for the school year, coming up. >>> plus, deck drama. how two local families paid thousands of dollars and had very little to show for it. >>> i feel used. i feel ♪ hey! let me help with that. oh, thank you! ♪ introducing the one-and-only volkswagen golf sportwagen. the sportier utility vehicle. >>> still tracking a few showers and a couple of thunderstorms thought but not a lot going on across our region, cloud cover and hot and humid conditions. take a look, storm team4 radar showing you pretty well where those storms are biggest storms up toward the frederick area, portions of northern virginia. around the fredericksburg region, too, seeing pretty good storm there in and around the metro region, we have not seen a single thunderstorm inside the belt watch we had a couple back toward fairfax and some rain right

according to pugh research, with 90% favorability rating among u.s.ericans overall, numbers many link to his stance on issues like being lgbt. but does this perception of the pope match reality? joining me now is william salatan and father richard riscavage, director of the center for faith and public life. great to have you here. william, we watched and were inspired by a piece you wrote called the patron saint of the left, where you ironically got into detail about why pope francis is not the liberal rock star many american catholics hope he's going to be. so what are some of the expectations that american catholics and otherwise have for him versus the reality of him? >> well, american catholics tend to focus as you were speaking in the earlier segment on a lot of these social issues, family issues like same sex marriage, abortion, divorce, and the pope has liberalized church policy on those issues, but he hasn't changed the church's fundamental teaching on those issues. the church still says that homosexuality is disordered, that divorce is wrong,

jason pugh is live at fedex field. jason, starters play is it size tonight but a lot on the line for these younger guys. >> reporter: yeah, that is absolutely right, chris. tonight is proof that the redskins actually play football and they are not just a soap opera. tonight is about the young guys, the young players, starters and even key backups will not play in this game. the redskins have certainly experienced their share of injuries this preseason. their number one goal is to leave this game healthy. now, this saturday, the team has to cut down their roster from 75 players to 53. and those cuts can be difficult for this coaching staff. >> the toughest part of our job, to be honest with you. naming the starters and all that stuff, that's tough also, but when you're talking about cutting people this time of year, guys been with us through otas and training camp, really done nothing wrong, done everything right to make themselves a part of this washington redskins football team, it's difficult. it really is. >> report

. >> i want to ask about a recent pugh poll that only 32% of respondents had a favorable view of the republican party, the lowest since 1993 and survey actually found that the biggest drop in gop favorable numbers is among republicans dropping 18%. is the summer of trump and language we're hearing on the trail hurting the gop brand? >> no, it's the exact opposite. the reason the republican party doesn't like the republican party, they are not fighting for what the republican party is supposed to stand for. what you're seeing from folks on campaign trail an effort to get back to the big hopeful optimistic vision that the republican party used to put forward. right now they see a republican party that's tainted by washington, that's too happy to go along to get along. that's why the republican party voters don't like the republican party. not because they are frustrated with conservatives. they want more conservatives in the party. >> you can see chris christie still speaking. you aren't done yet. i appreciate you coming on this friday evening. >> thanks a lot, appreciate it. >> jeffre
