"meet the press" moderator david gregory is here with a look at weekend politics. start with the g8 summit. what's the significance of it? what's likely to get accomplished? >> well, it's interesting. two big summits. you have g8 and also nato. nato is about afghanistan. g8 is about europe. it's all about the u.s. economy in a lot of ways. for two reasons. one, you're dealing with their economies there, met by slashing budget deficits. do we have to do that here? the lesson there is it hasn't gone so well. >> right. >> so there is going to be a lot of pressure to shore up the problems in greece and elsewhere. pressure put upon them by particularly germany by president obama and then some discussion of afghanistan as well and again what responsibility will our allies be playing as we move forward. so a big time for president obama to host these events that have a lot of resonance to what we're doing here. >> hosting the new leader from

france. >> hollands who wants to pull troops out by the end of the year. as we end the war in afghanistan, what is going to be left behind and what will our responsibility be and our allies be willing to do as we try to look elsewhere? >> let's talk about presidential politics for a minute. the whole jeremiah wright thing coming up this past week. a lot of money out there, a lot of haters. a number of suggestions this might be a truly nasty campaign. are you looking at it that way? >> yeah. i think so. there is so much money jim washing through this campaign. there will be more of this. people who hate obama, who want to make it personal. want to bring up jeremiah wright and all that business. and there will be plenty done on the left against mitt romney. who knows? there may be people attacking him as a mormon and what not. all that negativity. i think you can say this. what we do know is that governor romney wants to attack president obama on the economy and that's going to be a central thrust and really where his opening is. voters like president obama. even if they don't like his policies they like him. the likability thing really

scares elements of the romney campaign. we're going to talk about the debt issue and maybe have another debt fight at the end the year after the elections so we'll talk to paul ryan and he'll debate dick durbin senator from illinois. we'll look at our political roundtable. if the election were held today just where will we be? >> all right. david gregory. appreciate it. this sunday's "meet the press" press pass will feature david's conversation with former secretary of state madeline albright beginning at 11:30 sunday morning immediately after "meet the press" at 10:30 here on nbc 4. lightning, fire investigators believe that lightning from a severe thunderstorm may have sparked two fires in virginia. firefighters were called to the homes in rosedale yesterday evening but were unable to save them. the buildings, one was an historic mansion built in 1909. no one was inside. the fires are still under investigation. >> for some reason or another, doug decided maybe we're okay

after all so you decided to come in and not spend the rest of your day outside away from us. >> i was trying to get down by the chesapeake. >> there was food in here i think. >> well there is food. >> nothing to do with you and me. >> i'll show you the food in a minute. i wanted to see your smiling faces. you greet me with such smiles. >> sure, doug. >> let's take a look and show you what is going on right now. a beautiful day. another gorgeous day on this fantastic friday. we saw plenty of sunshine. high clouds from time to time. out there right now on the potomac take a look. you have one of those duck boats doing a little bit of a tour of our beautiful city. it's going to continue to be nice. right on through the evening hours and really i think over at least the next 24 to maybe 48 hours before we start to see some changes. 7 of t 76 the high temperature. right around average this time of the year. 12 of the last 18 is days have been above average. today we'll go down at average with a great day. i think more great days to come. i still think saturday and sunday both looking pretty good. 74 degrees right now with winds out of the northeast at about 9

miles an hour. humidity only 37%. that wind out of the northeast is going to continue to keep things a little on the cool side as you go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning. currently 73 in gaithersburg. 71 la plata. 72 pax river. our friends in winchester at 73 degrees. storm 4 radar, nothing to show you as far as that is concerned. we are all dry right now. and we will stay that way through the day tomorrow. but then we're going to watch this system right here. it's a system down to the south and east. that is going to actually try to move up the coast and then retro grade and move back to the west. if it does that i think we'll see an increase in clouds during the day on sunday and a slight chance of showers but let's go through it for you. tomorrow that area of low pressure still off the coast. we're still dealing with sunshine as high pressure is still dominating. nice and warm tomorrow with a high near 80 degrees. then as we move through the day on your sunday looking at partly cloudy skies. still nice and warm. but here come the clouds and here come the shower activity. if you are down along the beaches thinking about maybe

heading down toward ocean city, maryland or rehoboth the beaches will be windy this weekend with winds maybe 20 to 30 miles an hour through the day on sunday. so watch out on sunday. maybe some shower activity, too, like virginia beach may not be the best place to go on your sunday. but still all in all not too bad. a few high clouds. a great evening. really get out and enjoy it. 64 to 70 degrees. tonight the battle of the beltways happening in just about an hour as the orioles come down i-95 right down to nats park. a beautiful night at the ballpark. 73 degrees at game time. nice and mild. cooler a little later. you may want to take a light jacket or at least wear long sleeves under the jersey. a few high clouds tomorrow morning and a great start but then warming very quickly. temperatures 46 to about 55 degrees with winds out of the northeast about 5 miles per hour. we will warm up extremely quickly during the day tomorrow with temperatures approaching the 80-degree mark. another nice day with plenty of sunshine. i do think we'll see more high clouds during the day tomorrow and then as we move toward the

day, on your sunday. this is where the clouds will be on the increase. this is where we'll see the chance for some rain, too. monday about a 50% chance of rain with a 73-degree temperature. a much cooler toward the beaches. once again only in the 60s i think there. tuesday, 77 degrees. and next week is going to be a little unsettled so get out now and enjoy the weather while you can because i think we'll see at least a chance for showers monday right on through the day on thursday. so a lot of events going on. we have the orioles tonight. we've got the air show going on at andrews. i think that is going to be a great day. then we've got this. we love when they bring in food don't we, guys? >> always. >> st. sophia's cathedral is having their annual spring greek festival. they'll have all kinds of food. i love how they say this. a bonanza of great food, music, and fun in the greek tradition. don't miss it. >> you shouldn't. they've been doing this twice a year. what, the last 25, 30 years or whatever. a lot of really good food down there. a lot of good fun for the kids.

apparently they're going to have a perfect weekend. >> i think it will be spectacular. >> check it out. >> a dangerous move eating the powder sugar. not sure that's the one to go for doug. maybe we can zoom in on that. >> we are going to save doug's dignity by telling you coming up the elusive bike thief that proved he is not so good on two wheels. >> the g8 summit shakes up a normally very quiet community in maryland. >> sports. we'll tell you why this year's battle of the beltway means

metro bus drivers have to dodge one close call after another on the road. >> tonight the transit system tells us it happens all the time and puts the lives of drivers and riders in danger. we have more on this story that we first reported yesterday. >> reporter: the blast of the horn followed by a slam on the brakes. metro bus drivers cut off in traffic. >> i encounter that all day every day. >> lester saucer says it is a constant problem. the 27-year metro veteran says it can be difficult to avoid a crash and make sure everyone onboard can with stand an abrupt move. >> a lot of times you might have someone standing up on the bus or somebody trying to adjust

themself on the bus and we apply brakes that hard sometimes we have a problem oar a situation where someone might fall and hurt themselves. >> reporter: each bus has a camera mounted on to the front windshield at any time a driver applies a lot of pressure on to the brakes fast it'll trigger that camera to start recording. the video speaks for itself and is not just the cameras and the drivers that bear witness to the swerve and stop. >> it is scary. >> passengers feel the effects too. >> slamming on the brakes and sometimes you're standing up and you have to sway and go back and forth. >> be careful. watch your surroundings. be alert at all times. >> reporter: saucer has the same advice for all of those daring drivers who try to get in his way. >> our main focus is on safety. and so if you cut us off like that, you never know what you're causing us to do. please don't cut us off.

something is going on. last night in indianapolis here is the good part. pacers president larry bird honored as the nba executive of the year. end of the first half. lebron driving through defenders for the flush. see it again. james, 22 points in the game. he can play. third quarter problems. dwayne wade in the face of erik spoelstra during a time-out. he was calmed down by james chalmers but ineffective all night. d wade only had five points. what's up with that? danny granger to roy hibbard underneath. familiar name? pretty hook shot. the deal is for him last night, 19 points. 18 boards. five blocks. is that looking good for the former hoya? pacers crews 94-75 lead the series two games to one. out west clippers trying to avoid going down 2-0 against the spurs. first quarter, san antonio already up 12. ginobili embarrasss blake griffin right to the hole. spurs led by four at the half.

we're in the third quarter now. clippers trying to come back. butler goes baseline. got to love that. i always like koran's game. dunk over tim duncan. nine points. too much for the spurs though. 5:00 to go. up by 15. tony parker gets bumped. still drives. lays it in. 30th birthday and the dude goes for the game high 22. spurs win big. 105-88. two games to 0 in that series. that su tomorrow night i wil another. you know that name? he's going to continue his quest for the triple crown in the preakness up in baltimore. you can watch it right here on nbc 4. post time 6:18 p.m. the last horse to win the triple crown, you know what that was, right, doreen? of course you do. >> '78? >> it says it. affirmed. >> 1978. >> when doreen was about 2 years old. today at pimlico she wishes -- today at pimlico the 88th running of the black-eyed susan, started the race.

that's the horse stumbling as he comes out of the gate. must have been down around his ankles. the seasoned jockey down the back stretch, in lingerie in the front holds on for the victory. he wins his fourth black-eyed susan. third for the trainer. his other horse disposable pleasure comes in second. wildcats smile finished third. okay. here we go. more rg iii. we'll tell you about that at another time. actually i'll tell you about rg iii. is there anything this dude can't do? last night he was on the show with jay leno. we know he's smart in the classroom. president of the class and all of that. you know he is a phenomenon on a football field. last night he introduced his new skill to a national audience. check it out. >> you know, i tried to teach people how to beat box but you can start with simple sounds like -- and then you can add whatever you want to. >> go ahead.

>> very good. >> the truth is the truth. >> is there anything he can't do? the boy is awesome. >> haven't found it yet. good stuff. coming up a walk to remember for a father and his daughter and for all your news follow news 4 online.

it was a daily routine that built quite a bond. for ten years a florida father walked his daughter to school every day. it started when laura mckinney was in prekindergarten. she and her dad frank never gave it up. when they were late to school they walked. when a bridge was under construction they took a row boat. laura mckinney is 13 years old now. wednesday was her last day of 8th grade and she is moving up to high school next year. so she and her father made that walk for the last time. he ended their walk with the same advice as always. >> take care of the kids. take care of your teachers. laugh and giggle. be a kid. have fun. don't worry about anything. daddy loves you. >> it was his last time saying it so, yeah. >> a real hard time getting through that. >> frank mckinney has written a

book inspired by his walks with his daughter. >> i love that story. >> it's a great story. >> i love that story. >> why is that the last time he is going to walk her? >> i don't know. >> who wants to show up for high school with their parent? >> with their dad. >> yeah. >> i knew that was the reason. >> got to move on. >> got to move on. at 13 years old that is going to come soon. let's take a look at how things are right now. you know it is going to be a great night tonight but how about this weekend? a big event over at andrews airforce base. a really nice show. the air show going on here, the thunder birds flying by. the golden eagles will be out there doing fair shooting. 79, mostly sunny and just great on saturday. partly sunny with clouds increasing late in the day on sunday but i do think just about the entire day will be on the dry side. it's free admission so that's good but remember you can not park down there at the base. one of the shuttles is over there at the fedex field. so just remember that. four-day forecast 80 degrees tomorrow. 79 in the city. on your sunday. rather warm with those clouds on

the increase. then we'll see a chance of showers move in late sunday but then monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday we all have a chance to at least see some showers. best chance will be from the i-95 corridor off to the east if you live up toward the mountains. you won't have nearly as much of a chance of seeing that rain but once again you may need the umbrellas for a couple days next week. >> okay. the weekend sounds good. thank you, doug. >> we're loving it. some years ago a friend of mine woke up just as he is being pronounced dead. he said that experience changed his life and that he never again failed to ak noonlg blessing however small, obscure, or seemingly insignificant. i thought of him in that little pearl of wisdom while reflecting on the death of chuck brown. so much has been written about chuck's influence on the music and temper of this town but it was donny simpson who in his own way probably put it best when he said when it comes to representing d.c. you got the washington monument, the big

chair, and chuck brown. the chili bowl. here is where it gets good. in terms of music and musician whos have shaped the landscape chuck brown is part of a long, long line of giants. folks in detroit and philly love to brag about the enormous contribution their natives have made to the national musical tapestry. they are not to be denied. but neither are we. folks in d.c., we have been blessed with an abundance of musical genius that covers nearly the entire music spectrum from a back yard bucket to lewo inn and we're not new at this. two centuries ago john philips sousa put a lump in every patriot's throat with the stars and stripes forever. born right here. over in virginia there stands that pentagon. a pentagon of locally born or nurtured talent. in this corner you got the sophisticated swinger duke

ellington born right here. over here the silky smooth sexy sound of marvin gaye home boy. at this point there's the hypnotic sound of shirley horn with her magical manipulation of space and time. over here the power, the grace of denise graves, the diva of opera houses all over the world born right here on galvinson street and up here at the top get on your feet don't think about sitting down for four hours funk of chuck brown. that's only the beginning. how could you not find a groove with charlie burt? especially when he was down on k street at the place. you know the spot. who didn't get up and dance with bill harris? remember them? how about the elegance and the dignity of buck hill who is still out there playing? the spine tingling purity of eva cassidy's voice and, my oh, my, roberta flack "killing me softly

with her song." lordy. wind me up, chuck. wind me up. >> quite a legacy. makes you wonder who is going to be next. >> you know, wally is out there and i thought about sticking him in there but he hasn't made his bones quite yet. he has a little ways to go. you're right. there has to be somebody else. we've been doing this for 200 years now. >> indeed. >> they can take the thing in detroit and philly and all them other places. go. we're done. that's it for now. "nightly news" up next.
