investigative reporter russ ptacek is live at the king street old town station. no one likes to hear about new taxes. good to see you back. >> thank you. can you spare a few million? metro says they need millions and millions to balance their checkbook. they're asking for a 10% increase in the subsidy they get from area communities saying without it, they can't keep current levels of train service. metro is asking the district to increase its portion from $293 to $330 million surrounding cities and counties are being asked to increase their subsidy payouts by 10%. metro says the alternative here, reduce service and increasing peak train waits to 15 minutes and 8-minute waits between trains. metro says there has been a flat line in ridership, meaning revenue hasn't kept up with this current increase in costs and they're trying to budget that. but you're going to hear from alexander tonight and he's saying in order to pay for the increase they'd have to increase taxes. >>> a republican communications staffer resigned her job today on the hill after trashing the fir

russ, let's begin with you. how much do you think this selloff might have to go? >> i think we can certainly see more volatility, primarily because we've had such a big move over the last six weeks. you think about the move in the s&p 500, or about 14%, we were up 14% up until the last couple of days. it's a very big move in a short time. the index got back down to about 11. there was a lot of complacency. i don't think it's all about oil. we see more issues in europe rather than slower growth, it's completely possible there's more selling to be done. generally, i think the fundamentals of the market are for the most part sound. >> eric, let me ask you about oil prices. why should lower oil prices be bad, presumably if you have less energy costs, this should be good for company stocks going forward and their earnings. what do you think? >> we would agree particularly with regard to costs coming in and a benefit to the consumer. however, the concern does turn to capital expenditures, particularly throughout the oil patch and more importantly, getting a grasp on wha

. >> i was laughing at russ. because russ is like why don't we sell iran a nuclear bomb? he says i'm making a point by using exaggeration of course because there's somebody out there that's going to criticize and say can you believe rush just said this? >> when i said arrest the sony filmmakers people actually thought i meant that. i was being ironic about benghazi. >> the fact that charles krout is one of the smartest people i know to suggest this is the worst human rights relation talking about north korea? i don't understand here what the problem is with opening up and maybe having some change there. it's 90 miles off of our shore. >> i will say that things haven't worked the way they should. but i think about the people that know how bad cuba's been. that's why president obama has to address their concerns. he has to say, look, i know these guys were awful people but we've got to deal with them but we're going to get something out of them. >> i think that's right. he should go there and say that. >> i don't trust him. >> we didn't cover it today. but eric i'm glad you

. >> host: we have the marquee legislation proposed by john mccain, russ fine gold, bipartisan, assignedby josh -- signed by george w. bush, changed the way at least money in politics in the country. there have been other pieces of legislation that have gone effectively nowhere, more lately there have been overtures about amending the constitution to overturn the very seminal citizens united decision of 2010 which truly owned the gates in a major way to unlimited amounts of spending and fundraising to advocate for and against candidates. but you don't see any of these as real solutions. you talk about there being a time fix. talk a little bit about what you mean by that and how time more so even than money could be, in your opinion, a solution to what you describe add the problem. >> sure. i mean, you can try everything you want to try to limit the big money in politics. it's going to find a way in, you know? i think the folks that were so behind the mccain feingold bill of 2001 were told that this would happen, that something along the super pac would happen because that money wasn't go

. >> you say they can be draining russ. for our viewers in the west in what way can these people be dangerous? >> when they go there they will get trained. they establish networks with other extremists, they become battle-hardened. so if they come back home, i.s.i.s. or al qaeda or el nusra or corazon or whatever network they worked with in syria and iraq, they can utilize them to have attacks. from the middle east or southeast asia, going to syria and building that network, ten times more dangerous. >> are you worried about, doing those things in the name of islam? >> sure, those individuals are dangerous. and it's very difficult to figure out where they are. because individual nature of the threat, the individual nature of the radicalization process, and of the you know operational process, it goes from radicalization to being operational is very personal. and sometimes very short. however, i think with every threat, i look at it as an equation. threat equal intention plus capability. the intention will always be there. y

rust rust takes a look at what -- russ ptacek takes a look at what metro is asking for. >> reporter: to keep the trains on time, metro's budget proposal says it needs a $30 million subsidy from the district alone and where metro provides services in maryland and virginia cities and counties, more than $50 million extra from those combined government coffers. >> you want more money but as as metro riders, we don't see where this money is going. >> it would mean raising a tax rate by several pennies. >> reporter: alexandria mayor is also a metro board member. he says the proposed increase for alexandria's share from $31 million to $35 million in subsidies isn't feasible. >> not at all. >> reporter: he predicts a compromise of a smaller increase paired with service cutbacks. the metro proposal says that could increase passenger loads beyond the recommended 100- person average. and increase off peak week times to 15 minutes and peak wait times increasing to eight minutes. >> once they make it quicker, then we can get more money. >> reporter: based upon -- [indiscernible] metro says rider

he urged russ and shannon jewell bank to step in and curb speculation on the currency. russia's reliance to gas and oil revenues has contributed to this depreciation with the ruble vulnerable to prices lower a barrel, but analysts say the current situation will not last much longer. >> even if it decreases by another 10%, it will not change much. the ruble has dropped almost 40% from years and years. that is why it does not have much further to fall. >> the russian economy has been significantly dented in 2015. authorities predict the country will enter recession next year regardless of what affects putin's measures announced on thursday will have. >> let's take a look at how the markets reacted to that. we saw the ruble move in price against the dollar as vladimir putin spoke, getting weaker, now worth just below 54 rubles. you are looking at the rates between the dollar and the ruble right now. in european stock markets broadly trading up today. the bank of england announced they would keep interest rates at their record level at .5%. airlines doing particularly well

[ laughter ] >> meteorologist erica grow has more on when the changes are going to hit. i guess it's starting now. >> the cold front has started to move through and it has brought us rain already to the metro area. as we enter the overnight hours colder air is going to move in behind this rain and that's why a winter weather advisory is in effect for frederick county also allegheny and washington counties in maryland. the panhandle of west virginia. and the shenandoah valley. this is a three-hour loop. the first batch is just about done but more rain is waiting in the wings. you can see the changeover happening in the cincinnati area. not a lot of changeover so far. the higher elevations will see a lot more of the wintery precipitation. this is what you need to know as you're heading out the door tomorrow morning. we'll just have wet ground and it's because of how warm the ground is right now with the rain falling. it's hitting temperatures in the 70s. so we do

russ collins, why did so many of the members of your organization, the independent theaters, decide to run this movie? >> there were two reasons. one, we initially reached out to the employees and the sony corporation, but their employees in particular, the folks who we have the interface with, just to express our empathy pore the difficulties that they've encountered the last month after their company was hacked and their e-mails went down and their telephone went down and all of the records went down, it's just been a very, very difficult time for sony employees. we wanted to express how we felt and that we wanted to support them and one of the ways we could support them is if sony decided to release the interview, we as independent theaters would be willing to screen that, or at least we thought we might. when the word got out among the art house convergence group that this might be a possibility or something that we could offer, they were enthusiastic in their response, and it just kind of took off from there. >> sreenivasan: no disrespect but a seth rogen movie and r. house conver
