7:12 am
welcome back it is time now for our weekly discussion with chuck todd. political director and moderator of meet the press, good morning it's nice to meet you and thank you for joining us this morning. >> good morning. >> you will have two strong voices, very interesting show today, those voices are representing opposing sides to what everyone is talking about this week of course a scotus decision you will have representative hutchinson, what is representative cortez calling for them to do and will be tangible at this point? >> the first thing she wants congress to do is to investigate two supreme court justices that
7:13 am
she believes ended up lying to certainly ended up lying to joe mansion and susan collins are alleging they were lied to in particular by brett cavanagh on the issue of precedents so she thinks there should be an investigation she believes lying under oath and in a confirmation hearing for supreme court seat she believes is an impeachable offense. she would like them to investigate those allegations and the bigger picture she wants the biden administration to open abortion clinics in red states on federal lands. as a way to try to create a stopgap in order to try to help women that are seeking reproductive is services in states where there will be an abortion ban so like, of course for the midterms she believes there needs to be an important focus on that front and that since she joins a lot of
7:14 am
democrats as far as that is concerned. >> i can imagine you will have a lot to talk about on the show, there has been a lot of talk about some states that have enacted trigger laws who will explore criminalizing women who leave the state to have those abortions, did governor hutchinson speak to this in any capacity or talk about how far maybe governors will go? >> it was interesting if he is clearly uncomfortable with how far arkansas's law went, arkansas's law which is now in place does not provide an exception for incest. just the life of the mother. he said that will be between a doctor and the woman about deciding whether an abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother that there wouldn't be some sort of investigation of a state that wouldn't get involved in that. the state wouldn't get involved in miscarriages but you know then again it was his legislature that passed a trigger ban without exceptions and he decided in the law so not everything he wants is
7:15 am
necessarily going to be in any law there so we went through all the different fallout from this and he seemed to admit the state is not yet prepared for some things they need to be doing. we will have to provide more services for women to carry these pregnancies. that there will have to be an expansion of adoption services which he said the state doesn't have yet. so it was a reminder of how chaotic i think this decision is going to end up making things for a lot of people and a lot of states. >> there is so much to talk about i know viewers will be watching in for you show, thank you so much for joining us. we look forward to it. be sure to join chuck for this morning's meet the press he will have exclusive interviews with governor hutchinson and representative ocasio-cortez and he will also talk to representative adam schiff a member of the select committee to investigate those january 6 hearings, so it will

7:21 am
lots of low clouds you're seeing some of that around san jose this morning. hazy skies around the tri- valley. once bought today that should see temperatures approaching the low 90s over towards oakland, low clouds starting the day. misty skies with low clouds around the interbay this morning and here is the view looking down towards san francisco where it is 55 degrees. we will see temperatures in the mid-60s, some sunny brakes as we go through the afternoon and downtown temperatures briefly approaching the low 70s but for most of the day thanks to that winco out of the north we should see 60s in the forecast of their new san francisco. so notice the low clouds go away by lunchtime we will continue to see low clouds there, west of downtown san francisco around the golden gate and along the coast. a classic case of our summer microclimate as we start the day with some patchy and low clouds inland than warming quickly as we approach

sunday morning starting off with lots of low clouds around the inner bay. and in san jose starting off the north bay we have temperatures down into the low 50s this morning but 60s closer to san jose we are beginning to see a few breaks in the low clouds around san jose. san francisco we are thicker in clouds. 55 right now in san francisco, pride parade start coming up at 10:30 am this morning you may want a light jacket as we have mid 60s. when you couple that also with the fact that temperatures will likely stay in the 60s to low 70s through the day and that westwind from 15-20 miles per
7:42 am
hour that ocean air will make things feel cool to mild from san francisco to oakland. and eventually we will seem warmer temperatures across the valley as the low clouds start to fade away for the central bay but they will stay out on the coast. likely to stay in the fog for most of the day through about 5 pm. notice the temperature trend. 50s and 60s to start the morning around noon we should see low 70s into oakland and hayward. and eventually most areas across this county. and the southern end of the santa clara valley we will see two pitchers climbing to the 90s. close to gilroy. mid 90s in fairfield. 90s around the tri-valley. not quite as warm perhaps in the north bay if those winds stay up out of the south into the afternoon. still into the 90s. 60s and 70s from san francisco to oakland. it will likely hold through about wednesday. with bayside temperatures staying in the 70s and mid 80s around san jose and then the second half of the week may
7:43 am
begin to see some cooler changes we will show you the satellite view. not much happening locally after the south we have a hurricane out here which will move into cooling waters. it could aim back towards california though, this time mostly towards southern california so it doesn't look like we will see any widespread thunder or lightning like we had last week most of that action should stay away from the bay area instead will reinforce those coastal low clouds and likely some cooling temperatures as we head towards next weekend. so the seven day forecast around san francisco much like we are seeing today. morning clouds and afternoon sunshine. and probably trending a little bit cooler as we get into thursday and friday in the valleys which we will still see inland into the 90s through about tuesday. we will see those cooling changes heading towards next weekend without any thunderstorms here locally or cross central california. but some of those cooler air that will be across all areas as we head towards next weekend. we will have much more

7:48 am
the 1973 roe v. wade decision that women have the right to choose abortion. the justices by a 6-3 vote decided it had no such provision thereby rather placing abortion policies in the hands of the state. nbc political analyst larry is here, everyone has been talking about it for the rest of the week why is this decision so controversial? >> reporter: a good morning, this is the first time a court has taken away a right from any group of people. all the other times in history it has expanded rights. because of this you have public opinion going in one way, the court going in the other. recent polls show that the public is for abortion choices at least the opportunity. here is the gallup poll taken days ago, 85% want to allow
7:49 am
women's rights to choose, depending on the situation but basically the right to choose. that is a huge direction different from the supreme court and that is what has people because of of urging set of opinion. the public opinion on one side. and the court on the other. >> between what the court did and public opinion, how can they not be attuned to what the public is saying? >> a lot of people are asking the question i understand that but that's not how the supreme court or the federal courts work. they decide cases based on what they see in the constitution. now for the last 50 years of the supreme court has said majorities of these, we interpret the 14 amendments to allow people due process including women due process respect to what they want to do with their bodies. that's the way the majority looks in that case for 50 years. this court majority is much different. they are looking to see exactly what the words say, and in the
7:50 am
