would require americans who own assault weapons to sell them to the government but the opposite is actually happening, starting today in texas, new laws loosen gun restrictions. for more coverage of the tragedy in texas, find us on twitte twitter @nbcbayarea. look at this breath-taking video from the international space station. the massive hurricane dorian, a dangerous now category 5, it has changed to 5, slowly churning in the atlantic, gaining more strength. the storm poses a threat to millions of americans. the bahamas and the east coast are bracing for landfall early this week. forecasters say dorian's track has shifted a bit. it is still turning and expected to skirt florida, georgia and the carolinas. tourist spots in the path of the storm clearing out. locals spending last holiday weekend of summer boarding up windows and collecting emergency supplies. >> how worried are you?

7:12 am
welcome back. on this sunday morning we're joined in the studio with our litical analyst larry gerston. it's time for our weekly chat with chuck todd, nbc news political director, mode rater of "meet the press." good morning, chuck. how are you? >> good morning, scott and larry. good to see you. >> good to see you. chuck, yesterday at least five killed, 21 injured in a shooting in odessa. how are the politicians responding there? >> well, what's been interesting today, i mean look, we're at 51 deaths in the month of august from mass shootings, so let that sink in a minute, and you know, after el paso and dayton, there was a round of hammering by politicians, and let's be honest, we all noticed a bit of a fade, if you will, of attention being paid to the gun regulation issue as august was getting closer to september, and we get this sobering reminder
7:13 am
that the scourge of gun violence is something that congress still hasn't tackled and there's going to be an expectation that they try and do something. so you do hear rhetorically again, at least some thought that something may happen. i think it's a very narrow debate that you'll see happen in congress, but i think it's going to happen and the debate will be on some incremental changes to the background check system and the idea of a red flag law. i don't know if we'll get within anywhere outside of that, assault weapons ban or things like that, but i do think that the shooting yesterday was a reminder that if congress thought that the memory was fading of el paso and dayton, it didn't. >> indeed. >> chuck, last week, joe biden misrespected his interaction with a soldier who received a medal for his hero behavior. unlike biden's previous gaffes this took distortion to a different level.
7:14 am
is there a point democrat also view kind old uncle joe as just old confused joe? >> i think that's the question. the biden campaign is most concerned about, i don't think this is a problem for him, if he's the nominee against donald trump. i think donald trump has provided unique teflon for anybody who has misspoke these days, given if we're going to focus on gaffes and misspeaks and conflations of stories, you've got a president according to "the washington post" has misled or lied 12,000 times. so in that sense i don't think this was a general election problem for biden, but for a political party that believes that there's some major demographic changes, that this is a 21st century party, it is remarkable that the three leading candidates are 70 or older, and i do think these incidents could be more damaging to biden potentially in a primary as it serves to remind people of the lack of generational change the democrats are debating right now, when you look at biden,
7:15 am
sanders and warren. so in that sense, i do think these things potentially are more problematic for him in a primary, because it could eat into the perception he's the best candidate they could put up against trump. >> okay, staying with the democrats, now that we're down to the big ten in this democratic presidential debate, what can we assume about those who didn't make the cut, including california's billionaire tom steyer, who we know pledged $100 million for his campaign. >> right. well, one of the quirks of the qualifications for these debates is the fact that the criteria to get in to the september debate is the exact same criteria you need for the october debate, so in the case of tom steyer, he fell one poll short. he's actually still now only one poll shot for october. if one poll comes in showing him 2% or above in a qualifying poll, which if there's just one poll in iowa that likely will be, he gets into the next debate. so i do think you have a whole bunch of candidates who realize
7:16 am
the qualifications there isn't a new bar they have to clear for october. there will be for november, but not yet for october, so i think it encourages that. i will say this about the next debate though. i don't think the next debate the focus is going to be on joe biden. i think the next debate the focus is going to be on elizabeth warren. >> chuck, we'll let you get back to work. thank you for joining us on this sunday morning and join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he'll have interviews with florida senator rick scott, acting fema administrator peter gaynor and democratic candidate william castro, that's after this newscast. after chuck i'll take back over ""press:here" this morning bloom ceo h.r. shrader, that's "press:here" right after "meet the press." larry will be back in about 40 minutes for our weekly political segment. we'll look at how california has
7:17 am
used states rights to protect itself against many of the trump administration roll-backs of regulations. so larry, we will see you soon as well. >> yes, sir. turning to other news now, a popular local bakery closed its doors for good. yesterday was the last day to get pastries from the prolific oven. the bakery closed its three stores in palo alto, santa clara and sunnyvale. owners shut it down due to increasing prices and difficulty finding workers. customers who came by say they don't know where they'll go. >> i'm very sad, and now i'm going to change my diet. no more pastries. because this is the best. >> good luck to him. prolific oven was in business for almost 40 years. a long distance swimmer finally made it to the bay area. he swam through garbage to do it. swimmer ben lecomte went on a mission to swim through part of
7:18 am
the ocean between hawaii and california that's filled with trash known as the great pacific garbage patch. yesterday, you see him swimming under the golden gate bridge, finishing a 300 mile journey. lecomte says the garbage patch wasn't what he expected. >> you think it's going to be a big floating island of plastic, but it's not the case. it's just a microplastic, and that's what we found throughout the way. >> he's hoping his swim will bring awareness to the problem of how much pollution humans dump into the sea. vianey arana has joined us again. is it september 1st? i think it's september 1st. >> it is. 1st of the month. you got to pay that rent or leeway, you have three days. >> you do because of the holidays and everything else. i like the way the mind goes immediately to rent. i was thinking more can it cool down? it's september. >> not today at least.
7:19 am
there's not a lot of signs of fall around the corner. it's a meteorological fog today. look at the mesmerizing sight of the golden gate bridge or at least a little peek of it. there it is. you can see the rolling fog and right there through the clouds of fog you see the golden gate bridge. we have a nice onshore flow that will keep coastal temperatures mild. currently as we step out the door the temperatures are in the 50s and 60s range. this is the coolest we'll be all day because that high pressure is going to continue to warm us up but it's going to make for beautiful, clear skies by the afternoon. here is a quick check of your 24-hour temperature change. we've got a light ocean breeze, so it's not too breezy right now. no big differences, but you'll be noticing the increase in temperatures in through the afternoon. yesterday around this time we were already running 10 degrees warmer in some spots so noticing that warmup. let's go into your daytime highs
7:20 am
for the afternoon. 91 degrees for san jose. morgan hill 93. milpitas 90 degrees. for the south bay temperatures were in the 90s yesterday in san jose, that was our daytime high and in through the east bay and interior valleys look at that, concord 96. pittsburg 98 degrees. so not quite triple digit heat, but just close enough. danville 95. hayward 83. san mateo talking 81. redwood city 84 and daly city in the upper 60s. san francisco once again climbing into those mid and upper 70s for mission, 76 degrees and through the north bay, 91 degrees for santa rosa. novato 89 degrees. so if you're traveling out through the tahoe area, maybe you're getting away this labor day weekend, it's 35 degrees right now. beautiful clear skies. look at that, it would be nice to be hanging out there, cup of coffee by the lake. let's look at the temperature trend, because it's cool now but look at by about 12:00/1:00,
7:21 am
upper 70s, topping out in the mid 80s by 2:00. so lake tahoe will be stunning, not only that, but maybe you're going to be going out on a hike. i had someone ask me when is the best time to go hiking, probably now through 10:00 a.m. because the temperatures will climb into the 80s. we'll keep the clear skies. look at by 1:00 and 4:00, it will be warming up, a little too hot to go hiking. don't take your pups with you on a 90-degree hike. it's way too hot. reminders if you are outside, take frequent breaks. don't forget your pets and remember the hot car dangers, look behind your car seat, don't leave anything you care about or anyone in your vehicle. labor day for tomorrow, we'll lean in the 90s for inland temperatures and we start to cool off a tad bit by tuesday and wednesday. scott mcgrew, the coolest we're going to get this week is probably about 87 degrees. >> oh, om coucome on! >> i'm sorry. >> all right, well maybe october. there is much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, 50 years after his famous moon walk, a replica of
7:22 am
7:23 am
7:24 am
welcome back. baseball fans at oracle park have been treated to the smithsonian museum installed a replica of neil armstrong's space suit to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon walk. "today in the bay's" joe r rosatto, jr., takes us behind the scenes with the company that created them. >> reporter: imitation is the highest form of flattery, which may explain why a plain looking office in san rafael. >> this piece is from the m metropolitan museum of art. >> reporter: holds what appears to be the most treasures. what appears to be high art is high tech.
7:25 am
lisa federici's company scan sights specializing in making 3-d prints from high quality scans. while the company always aims for the stars, its recent project with the smithsonian proved out of this world. >> here we go. >> reporter: the company was hired to make 15 replicas of neil armstrong's space suit to put in ball parks across its u.s. >> the goal of the smithsonian was to produce these suits and then bring back the magic of that day 50 years ago when neil armstrong walked on the moon. >> reporter: the launch pads for the project were high resolution scans of armstrong's original suit that captured every letter on every patch, every bit of stitching. >> there's about 8 million points of data. >> reporter: they even captured writing on armstrong's sleeve. >> you can see where he had his commands kind of his cheat sheet, when he was out there, in case he forgot what to do. >> reporter: there the team made 3-d prints of the suit in 16
7:26 am
parts, which were assembled to create a model used to make all 15 suits, which were then hand painted. >> the mixing of different colors, so we could get it as closely as possible to the original. >> i was able to do some finishing work here. >> reporter: from the helmet to the boots, every inch looks as real as the one that stepped on the moon july 20th, 1969. >> it takes something that really looks like fantasy and brings it into the real world. >> reporter: the suits are installed in 15 major league ball parks, including san francisco's oracle park. >> i took about 60 photographs of people posing with it before the game. everybody wanted to be next to it, touch it, pose with it. >> reporter: the suits will remain up until the fall, giving people a chance to step in to that one small step for man. >> one giant leap for mankind. >> reporter: joe rosatto, jr., nbc bay area. coming up, we'll take you for a ride in the air, and on

7:30 am
temperatures will be climbing into the upper 60s. we might even hit some mid-70s in through mission. yesterday the san francisco international airport did see a high of 84 degrees, so certainly a beautiful day in san francisco. great day to enjoy the outdoors. hopefully in moderation. our temperatures will climb quickly into the 80s by 11:00 a.m. for the south bay, and in through the tri-valley in the east bay, we're expecting also some 90s, so it's going to be very similar to yesterday, about 53 degrees. high pressure will keep the sunshine around through the start of the work week, so if you have tomorrow off, it's going to be a great day. i expect a lot of people poolside and by the beach. we'll have a look at your coastal temperatures and hurricane dorian is doing. >> vianey, thank you. a traffic stop on labor day weekend turned into a shooting rampage in texas. five people dead in the country's latest mass shooting. among the injured, three police officers. nbc's chris pallone has the latest on the developing story.

in less than three years president trmp and his key administrators have rolled back nearly 200 obama administration regulations, from the entemperamententem environmental to drug agencies, some cases aban donned all together. this approach to governance is known as states rights, but is it good for the nation? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us. sounds like something that usually is out of the deep south. why do we in california care about states rights? >> you're right about the deep south. the fact of the matter is states rights is more than that. it's a concept, scott, that goes all the way back to the foundings of the republic, when the frameers of the constitution many wanted a strong national government because of previous experiments where the states were unable to rule themselves. others wanted strong state guarantees to make sure that the federal government honored the
7:47 am
will of the people under state jurisdictions. this tension is known as federalism, a concept that has waved its way throughout the constitution and tilted at various points in history one way or the other, depending upon the actions of the chief executive, congress. >> where does president trump and his policies fit into that? >> we have seen a dramatic change, a dramatic change, since the 1930s, the united states has tilted more toward national policy-making on key issues rather than individual state policies on those same issues. many conservative states have balked at this trend. the minimum wage, national labor laws, environmental standards for water and air, all these things, air pollution are a few examples. now under the trump administration, states rights are once again envogue as federal rollbacks give states more responsibility for various social and economic questions.

so where california may have strict regulations on land toxicity, nevada may not. imagine how that fits in to rain runoff once it goes into lake tahoe. >> right, you need a bigger sort of federal look at that. so how is california responding to the new state rights ideals? >> well, that's where this entire discussion gets real strange twist. in one instance after another, california has taken the trump administration to task, to task, for abandoning national rules in favor of these states rights. so instead of going its own way, california repeatedly has sued the trump administration to prevent these roll-backs. much of the credit or blame, if you agree with the president, goes to state attorney general javier becerra, who sued or joined other state suits against the trump administration nearly 60 times since trump has assumed power. >> it must be difficult, after all taking on the federal government, how it must be difficult to oppose them, how has becerra handled this?
7:49 am
>> becerra is a character. he's led the charge to promote a series of national guarantees, among his targets, the weakening of more than 80 environmental regulations from the obama administration, trump administration attempts to preempt state rules on california water and trump's efforts to nullify california's sanctuary policy proekt tecting undocumented immigrants innocent of any serious crimes. many lawsuits are still winding their way through the federal system, but among those with final outcomes, becerra has won most of the time. to add insult to injury, recently california has gone on the offense with the trump administration. state officials have now persuaded major automobile manufacturers to largely adopt california's aggressive emission standards over a federal proposal that would ease restrictions and just a few weeks ago the california legislature added subsidized health care benefits for undocumented immigrants under the age of 25, at the same time that the trump administration
7:50 am
has been doing everything possible to deport immigrants. >> we're doing states rights but we're doing states rights with a bit of a california twist. >> a bit of a california twist. that's exactly the point. you know, although states rights advocates traditionally have relied on weak national government rules, california has been doing so in the name of stronger national government laws and regulations. whether by design or happenstance, california has become the counterweight to trump state's rights brand of governance and in the process the golden state has become the states rights posterchild for promoting strong national policies on key issues of the day. quite a story. >> becoming a republic once again. >> by ourselves. >> larry gerston, always a pleasure. still ahead on "today in the bay," it was a team effort. we're going to show you who sprung into action to save this little baby squirrel. >> oh, the little baby squirrel.
