this is cory booker speaking friday night at the naacp awards ceremony. >> you all sit down.ughter] i have this unfortunate experience. any time us are thinking i'm someone special, someone comes and reminds me. yet the spring or recipient named john lewis. i thought it was a wonderful thing. he said, i want to partner you with john lewis. i said, what you talk about, skip? john lewis stood on the front lines of the civil rights movement, staring down alabama state troopers for the cause of righteousness. he led the bridge read with his own blood, carried unconscious by to the church. he's a champion of the civil- rights movement. and then it switched to my segment cory booker at age 7 fell off his tricycle and scanned his knee. bleating his sidewalk read, it carried to his mama screaming like a little girl. i cannot escape the weight of history. and you'll give me this privilege. i should be standing here letting you all know the death of gratitude i cannot express. there would be no me without the naacp. [applause] so today you all take on the role of my mama and daddy, by

cory? give cory a round of applause. [applause] >> thank you, chris. thank you so much for all of your hard work, chris. none of this could be possible without your efforts. good evening. the good government awards are incredibly important in san francisco. it's a chance for us to honor the tremendous work that happens in the city and also to honor the individuals who are responsible for some of that success. congratulations to all of our honorees. we're very grateful for your work. let's give a hand for them. [applause] the good government awards also support spur's good government work. it is a central part of our mission. our agenda is admittedly ambitious. we analyze every local measure on the san francisco ballot, which until recently was a pretty formidable task. we participate in most of the major issues of city government from pension and payroll tax reform to some of the most important discussions on how we fund a lot of our public services, whether that finding different revenue streams for our parks, are trying to find new ways to fund publi

booker, even when he retires, kind of taking a shot at cory booker, clearly not happy that cory bookered and lau at thenberg trying to force his hand. i'm with chuck. i think booker is the favorite. i think sort of measuring the drapes is a little too soon. i wouldn't underestimate frank lautenberg's power now and in the future. >> don't forget, the running joke on twitter is he is available for another senate seat. like, you know, he has come back before. >> yes. >> he still is 11 years younger than strom was. >> the party needed him, and he came back and served. >> and he loves the job. i see him all the time. i bump into him at coffee, and he seems pretty fired up still. >> morning, noon, and night. thank you very much. kelly, what a week. from the pope to the meteorite. >> a news lover's week. >> religious people might wonder if we're starting to see some of the signs. i guess locusts were on the -- the locusts were on the cruiseship. >> among other things. >> thank you very much. >> good to see you. >> thanks to all of you, chris, and questions now in california are being raised a

. >> reporter: sid cory is a develop but says it wasn't his idea. he said mayors of cities approached him seven years ago to tell them about a need. >> if i'd be willing to do a cemetery on my property. thought about it for a couple of days and said sure, i'll do that. >> reporter: cory is a powerful man, so are some opponents including save mt. diablo. >> particularly the parts that are being talked about for the ridge line, which will have an impact on the visual qualities of the property. >> reporter: but cory counters the cemetery is open space in a sense, and something that will ward off developments. >> because it's going to hurt their housing out there. because there is a lot of people that feel if you build a cemetery, that will ruin the rest of the area for housing. well, there is a lot of people that don't want housing. >> reporter: opponents of the cemetery don't like cory's answers to their concerns, but he does ask a question which all of us have to answer some day. >> where do we bury our dead? >> reporter: the planning commission gets

. >>> up next, watch out cory booker. we'll tell you who else is contemplating a run for new jersey senator. we'll see if that cave is full. >>> and speaking of the garden state's senate delegation, the latest on the bob menendez ethics investigation. wait until you hear what frank lautenberg has to say. >>> and remembering a fixture of new york politics, the first america's mayor, the outspoken mayor ed koch. >>> but the trivia question, how many states do not celebrate groundhog day? tweet me the answer @chucktodd. the answer coming up on "the daily rundown." we'll be right back. would you take it? well, there is. [ male announcer ] it's called ocuvite. a vitamin totally dedicated to your eyes, from the eye care experts at bausch + lomb. as you age, eyes can lose vital nutrients. ocuvite helps replenish key eye nutrients. ocuvite has a unique formula not found in your multivitamin to help protect your eye health. now that's a pill worth taking. [ male announcer ] ocuvite. help protect your eye health. [ male announcer ]

that was cory book they are morning and here's the headline from today.aiser. >> an alternative headline in reaction for booker saying it's too soon. the alternative headline would say, oh, please. come on. the man is running. he does still have a day job in newark, and it's an important day job. got smacked by lautenberg and others for being presumptuous. certainly running. >> robert costas, is this a shoo-in for cory booker. >> "face the nation" is smart politics. so much races in nuclear, always an off-year election, governor's race, state election race so what cory booker did is saying to those new jersey state politicians i'm not going to mess with your fund-raising, i'll help you out and come 2014 i'll have a clear path w.lautenberg out of this race, it's booker's to lose. >> we also have to pay attention to campaign coffers. we have rep holt and pallone. >> 679,000 in his campaign coffers and pallone has 3.4 million. doory booker can turn the twitter followers he can turn it into big bucks. >> political nutworks, and the one thing we skipped over,

i look out, sure enough, there's a car on fire. >> cory hits the emergency pump shutoff button.s prevents thousands of gallons of gas beneath the station from adding more fuel to the fire. the driver and all of his passengers flee from the blaze. >> the fireball was pretty big. when it hit the top of the canopy, it spread about halfway across. >> in all the excitement, cory relies on his instincts and takes matters into his own hands. >> i ran around the counter, ran outside to that fire extinguisher out there, got it off the pillar there, pulled the jacket off of it, pulled the pin. >> in less than ten seconds, cory single handedly snuffs the fire, saving the gas station, the surrounding homes, and everyone nearby. >> i don't like to think about what could have happened had i not gotten that fire out when i did. i mean, it could have been catastrophic. >> with disaster averted, one question remains. what caused the fire? reviewing the security tape, investigators believe it's caused by gas vapors that had built up near the nozzle. >> when the one kid leans in where the gas is b

newark -- let me try that again, newark, new jersey, mayor, cory booker. roll it. tell me what you have seen so far on the streets of newark? >> the conditions are worsening. walked through all five wards of the city checking in on our crews we have out there as well as conditions on the street. a lot of stranded cars now. a lot of people out that shouldn't be. so it's just, you know, very perilous out there, and people need to understand that. stay indoofrs and hunker down for the night. conditions will be bad throughout the morning tomorrow. so this is not the time to take this lightly. very dangerous conditions, especially around motor vehicle accidents. and we also are on alert for possible power outages for newark if the wind starts to pick up. so i'm grateful for the hundreds of workers we have out there from law enforcement to folks plowing and salting streets. a lot of work ahead. >> as the sun will begin to rise in a couple of hours, that's when, as you mentioned, we will get a better chance to see the damage done. hopefully the streets are cleared. first

>> good afternoon, president fong and commissioners, cory teague for staff. [speaker not understood] doing business as chase bank in the existing ground floor unit at the northeast corner of 17th and rhode island streets. the currently vacant unit is approximately 4700 gross square feet in size including a mezzanine. it will have direct access to the adjacent ground floor parking garage which is accessed from 17th street and will include 7 parking spaces reserved specifically for the bank. the bank will include three atms located within an interior vestibule [speaker not understood] which will be minimally visible from the street. the entrances and the ministration will not be altered on the billion but the existing awning will be removed. all-new signage will be required to meet the standard of article 6 of the planning code and no other significant exterior alterations are proposed in the project. within this contiguous umu zoning district which consists of 13 full blocks and 8 partial blocks stretching from kansas street to interstate 2 80, the starbucks a

which is not completed and that is under the general hospital program and the library program which cory marshall was charged with. so another change that was made this year is we started to use the set aside -- there is a set aside in each bond of.1% of bond revenues and allocated to us so that is going to be -- 2 billion bonds it's $2 million if i have my zeros correct and we started to use that appropriately and by appropriately everything we were very clear on needed to save -- look for cost savings mostly in what we were doing, so we currently have -- we're conducts oversight activities to guide the city departments to stay on scope and budget and we have two proposals in budget and one is about community engagement which has in the past been an issue with bonds that the community engagement process is actually been problematic for keeping the bonds on time and to some extent on scope and certainly on budget so we're doing an interesting research project there for best practices and also for benchmarking projects and looking at the design review process as well, so we hope these pro

cory booker has saved the day again.lled the neighbor from a burning building and rescued a dog left out in the cold. now booker is answering calls for love. this week, new york city lawyer asked booker help him propose to his girlfriend. booker responded immediately over twitter. he said quote, i'm a romantic and it sounds fun. the phone rang and booker was on the other line. burns was waiting with two glasses of bubbly and a ring. of course, she said yes. that's guy's kissing babies and saving dogs. he's the man. now, he's making love connections. he's good. big fan, big fan. >>> mark, as long as there is market for drugs in america, they'll find inventive ways to get drugs into the country. $43,000 marijuana was found in soup cans outside the arizona/mexico border. they confiscated this home made marijuana launcher. it's powered by a compressor from the engine of the old car. 30-pound packages of weed across the border. pretty cool. >>> let's move to some more serious news. pope benedict is in the final hours as servi

and we've seen here on "morning joe" how he fought back against cory booker, taking little digs at coryory booker certainly won't have access to the amazing machine that senator lautenberg has after 30 years leading the garden state. >> senator lautenberg is 89 years old. he may not have stayed on anyway, but he certainly wasn't going to do it on his own terms and wasn't going to be nudged out by mayor booker. >> yeah, this was a little bit awkward, to say the least. cory booker could have waited. it was very clear that frank lautenberg was not going to run again. but the way he did it did create some resentment. frank pallone has the machine, but cory booker has energy and momentum in this race. >> chris christie, prohibitive favorite as republican for governor, cory booker as a democrat. the state has a lot of room for personality. >> i think mike and andrea are both right, a clearer path. >> one thing we should say, frank lautenberg deserves a lot of credit for what he did. one of the richest men in america going to the senate, spending most of his time trying to help the poorest peo

next speaker, please. >> cory lam followed by mark gruberg. those are the last two people. >> good afternoon, mr. lam. >>> good afternoon, board of directors. myself and a few others, 10 or more of us from the taxi industry were asked to participate in a bicycle strategic plan at the 1 south van ness building. and i felt like we were -- we were asked to be part of the program which was nice, but it was more of a sales presentation where they laid out, this is where we are, this is where we could be, and this is where we want to be. and that's all great. i think that that's an integral part of san francisco. but with each step was a multiplier of hundreds of millions of dollars from, you ow, 50 million and then, this is where we are and this is where we'd like to be in the middle of 200 million. and i'm saying back lane, 200 is the middle, where is the upper portion? 500 million dollars over the next five years. now, you've got a big gasp from a lot of cab drivers because where is the revenue going to come from? essentially, unless there is a t

the inevitability of cory booker. >> i was going to say he has cory booker nipping at his heals and peopleooker as a rising star. they won't let that be stopped because they consider him to be the future of the party. that was inevitable. but i want to give credit where credit is due. senator lautenberg is one of the heroes in the initiative. he fought in the 90s to ensure those convicted of misdemeanor assaults also could not get guns, which was a big step. it used to be just felonies. we often know that domestic violence often escalates from a small incident to a larger one then to death. he pushed for that gun control. he'll an real loss in terms of the gun control movement. i want to pay respect to that. >> michael: it's so important to remember that. i'm glad you pointed it out. lastly and quickly we heard from the president the other night we know his priorities. you just wrote a column about the first lady's agenda. what do you hope she does? >> i hope she gets to enjoy a little bit of freedom now she's in the second term. she's been a terrific first lady. no one disputes the qualit

thank you, cory booker on the phone with me. newark, new jersey mayor. we have a couple of folks out. susanen candiotti is in boston. alison kosik in boston and karen maginnis is working overnight with me tracking the storm here in the northeast. let's begin with susan candiotti in boston. how's it looking? >> reporter: good morning, brooke. >> i guess it is morning now. >> >> reporter: that's right. the wee hours of. the last time we were speaking with you, brooke, it was yesterday afternoon and you could still see a bit of the grass, a mere dusting, but i can tell you the power then of the wind, it was so much more forceful then. the pellets seemed to almost be hitting your eyeballs. i mean it stung. when i came out a while ago it is still coming down and moving sideway and every which way but the winds do not feel as strong as they did early last evening. but the snow, oh, yeah, it's piling up. i know you have been watching all throughout the night. we are here in downtown boston. you can see over in this yardstick, it measures nine inches, but if i g

cory booker.oung man in that videotape, in that youtube tape that was put out there had been beaten. and this video had just come to light this week. so he's clearly very upset and he's upset, he says, look, four people have been arrested for this beating, but there were people standing around who were watching this who didn't call 911, who didn't do anything about it. and he says they too are partly responsible for what has happened to this young man. and he says we are better than this. we're going to have an update on this story, but clearly, this is something that a lot of folks are talking about. how could this happen in this community? and the fact that nothing got done in six months or so until it became viral video when it was released and more than 40,000 people watched that video and then they went after the guys who did this, allegedly uh did this. four of them now in custody. we're also following this story. this the ex-cop, the deadly vendetta that ends in the violent showdown. this i

cory teague for staff. the proposal before you is to extend the hours of operation for the existing restaurant doing business as west of pecos 2:00 a.m. daily to be consistent with hours of operation in the neighborhood commercial transit district. [speaker not understood]. the planning commission originally approved the restaurant in september 2011 and limited the hours of operation to 11:00 p.m. sunday through thursday and 12:00 a.m. friday and saturday. during the original conditional use authorization hearing the planning commission encouraged the project sponsor to operate for at least six months and then if desired, request an extension of operating hours through a new conditional use authorization. since opening the restaurant in may 2012 there have been no complaints filed against the restaurant with the planning department, the department of building inspection, the health department or the california department of alcoholic beverage control. the corridor of valencia street between 15th and 18th st

an cory booker embodies these prince.his constituents not just the ones who vote for him. he's a leader who isn't afraid to reach across the aisles. he's a leader who dares to tell the difficult truths. he's a leader who demands accountability from the people in his administration and from himself. he's a leader of great personal courage, willing to run to a burning building to save a subsequent in need. he's a leader to govern for the future. please welcome a dear friend, a problem solver, a national treasure, mayor cory booker. [applause] [applause] ♪ >> hello, hello, hello! it's so good to be here! ♪ >> all right. any time i get introduced to bruce springsteen i get pumped up as a jersey boy. when i was a student at the yale law school. i began in my second year coming down to new walk, new jersey joining with others to get it done. i'll never forget a train ride. i'm the worse person in the world to sit next to in a train or plane. i talk nonstop. i sat down next to a rabbi. i started talking about what i was doing an

then we'll hear from two political heavyweights, newark mayor cory booker, and former republican party chairman haley barbour. in the wake of the pope's resignation, we'll talk about what's ahead for the catholic church with cardinal donald wuerl of washington. we'll get the latest on that meteorite from jeffrey chewinger, senior science editor of "science magazine" the latest from david ignatius of the "washington post," tom ricks of "foreign policy," and state department correspondent margaret brennan. we'll round it up on the with amy walt ar aim amy walter, michael gerson, and our political director john dickerson. from out in space to here on earth, this is "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs from cbs news in washington, "face the nation" with bob schieffer. >> schieffer: and good morning, again, on a day when there is no shortage of questions. we welcome dennis mcdonough, president obama's me chief of staff, who i presume has brought many answers with him this morning. nice to have you. >> thanks for having me, bob. i'm really looking forward to it. >> schieffer: the s

>> cory can answer that. as you know, signs are not discretionary. it's not part of your approval. i will say that with respect to the number and size that you point out, it does require a change in legislation to limit the size and number. and i think you're probably right that we need to start thinking about making some code changes. but in this particular instance, the cory or scott can speak to the specifics of what types and how many signs are allowed. >> i think we've heard this before, so, just raising -- >> yeah, there will be signage. it is not known exactly what it will be at this time. it's be in the plans. >> i'd like to keep this dialogue going. i know commissioner moore has chimed in. not to pile on any more, but i think it's really more about signage and maybe more about the lighting and the up lighting and the blew up lighting that has more impact than any one sign possibly could. the architect mentioned to make this, the bank more transparent, i take that by meaning more glass, more open air. * but as part of the branding strategy chase has, they actually have blue

there's a lot happening between frank lautenberg and cory booker.e chris christie with a popularity in the 70s. i also reached out to the rnc and they have reached out to geraldo rivera's camp and would be welcome to help him in any way that they would help any other candidate. they have reached out and they think that he's seriously considering it. >> it s it appropriate for cory booker to say that he's interested in the seat even before frank lautenberg said whether he's going to seek re-election? >> he's truly someone that i admire and would love to see continue the senate but cory booker has to see what his future plans are. he's been outstanding mayor of newark. he's a great public citizen. i've been looking at geraldo rivera. he's a great showman and passionate about these issues but when you look at everything that he's said and done on television over the last 20 years and shows like this, wolf, he's going to have a real, tough time securing a republican primary. but i want to applaud cory booker for being out there and at least consider run
