smaller benefit checks, some cancer patients have gone without treatment, and lines at new york's laguardia airport now start at chicago's o'hare. tough medicine. but conservatives like me know that in a budget crisis, everything nonessential has to go -- whether it's food for kids who aren't mine or some other stuff for people i don't know. but there are some things that government spends money on that are worth -- stay with me -- spending money -- stay with me -- on. and, as usual, those things are tanks. they are so important that we need them even when we don't need them. >> congress appropriated $255 million to upgrade the army's m1 abrams tank but here's the thing. the pentagon wants to halt production on these tanks. >> military generals say we don't need that tank or that bomber. congress says yeah you do. >> lawmakers from both parties have devoted the tax payer money for the last two years on improving the abrams tank but general ray odierno, the army's chief of staff, said if he had a choice he'd use the money in a different way. >> stephen: i am shocked to hear that from general

like the slot swap we did to build a hub at laguardia. the merger with northwest. we have to continue that kind of innovation. the second thing is we've got to continue to evolve the business model in very creative ways, like buying a refinery, like investing in aero mexico and becoming a member of the board of directors and establishing a relationship between mexico and the u.s. or winning two of the three major flying airlines. it's what ilcall having good organic growth, and having good inorganic growth. we have to provide a superior product, stellar separations with flight employees everyone day. third, we've got to gone continue to vest in technologies. whether those technologies are decision technologies or new aircraft technologies, we've got to continue investment because ours is a very tech noamg driven business. we have to make sure the investments have sheer payback for us. >> is size changed. and you look at regional routes from new york to north carolina, for example, you get to the plane, is there is thought much seat room. and that's because of two r

mann in sketches and he himself is a republican and a conservative and very much a supporter of laguardia who, and the people who eventually sort of bring him down and sort of put an end to his livelihood. and at the heart of it, at the centre of it is this sort of surprising and sad love story of him and a younger man. and sort of one generation and the next. >> jon: right. as a man who plays the nance. >> yes. >> jon: he almost can't give himself up to love this other guy because he feels like that clearly would-- he really believes it in his head that this can't be right. >> well, yeah, yes, he is kind of a victim of his own self-loathing. and inability to accept that kind of love. and what would be a kind of by today's standards a very healthy relationship. and i think also because of the circumstances of what is happening in his life, he makes a lot of wrong decisions. >>. >> jon: how do you-- you're talking about doing this 8 shows a week. this sounds like you have got to put out a gut-wrenching, complex. >> i was called-- beth midler called me because she is doing i'll eat you last

and you might be, we are getting closer to the weekend, the only place we do have delays is out of laguardia. you want to check that. here in our neck of the woods, weather is going to deteriorate, gray skies, winds will pick up more so. they are cooling us off substantially. those winds will increase. take it right to future cast, stop that clock at 5:00 p.m. look at all this hot pink, red and orange. whenever you're seeing warmest colors, that's where winds will occur. talk about 40 mile-per-hour wind gusts as we head through the evening. keep that in mind, travel cautiously if you have a high-profile vehicle. here is what we're talking about. step out of the way, take it to the future. by 4:00 p.m. winds start to pick up as the area of low pressure gets closer and closer. expecting showers by 6:00 a.m. the main front mid-morning to early afternoon after which time showers will deteriorate. that will continue until friday morning. we'll have a little residual activity. after that high pressure builds back in. this is going to warm us up quickly. more weather whiplash. take a look at temper

if they are trying to get to laguardia, they have a weather system headed their way that could slow you down. high pressure firmly in control of our pattern one more day. one month are day with temps in the mid to upper 80s. we drop you off 5-8 degrees. 85, livermore. 77, fremont. 71, san francisco. taking your extended outlook, tuesday into wednesday. the change is really coming to the mix. we will hit the low 70s by thursday into friday. it is going to be a cool, cloudy week. hey, next week overall is looking much warmer. you can see that by sunday. we are back up to 85 degrees. if you want a cool week. you want to see it on your pg&e bill, this is your week to do so. >>> this one is being called an act of street violence, not an act of terror. that's what the fbi is saying this morning about a shooting during a mother's day parade down in new orleans that injures 19 people, including two children. several of those people were seriously hurt. but, the good news is, they are all expected to survive. officers now looking for three suspects and new orleans mayor says they need the commun

travel, and we have seen some long delays heading into the northeast at the airport, newark and laguardia, both having full on ground stops. let's take a look right now at where that threat does continue for severe weather tonight in the northeast. it's going to be heavy rain, flash flooding with the threat, also damaging winds you'll have to watch out for. in texas and the southern plains, tornadoes a possibility, also large hail that could be bigger than baseballs. now, for travel, if you're planning to head out of town tomorrow along with about 35 million memorial day holiday travelers this weekend, look for some cool and rainy weather in the northeast. if you're heading to the roads, like 31 million, in fact, more than 31 million people will be, you have to watch out for that rain in the northeast. also, in the middle part of the country, the chance for more storms. ann? >> all right, chris. thank you so much for your reporting tonight. >>> and one more note about the weather. the people at noaa who track hurricanes for a living said today they expect another busy season in the atlant

you're about to open a new did $1.2 billion terminal in new york and you've expanded your service at laguardia. how important is the international business to you right now, obviously, a big new terminal is not something that you will amortize over just one year, but are you concerned about how vigorous the economy is in europe with respect to that new terminal? >> well, we actually plan long term for a relatively mild gdp growth around the world and we build our capacity and build our plan on that basis. at jfk, the number one carrier from new york across the transatlantic with our partners at klm and air france and alitalia. very quickly, sir richard branson, virgin, atlantic will be together in terminal 4. so we're optimistic about our positioning and it's an unrepeated position for us at jf, and we can raise that dividend one day on the deal between you and virgin atlantic. you will take a 49% stroke in it and well, woe have four levels of approval. the british government, d.o.t. and doj and we're making good progress on all four fronts and we expect to close in september. >> let's talk ab

but when thecandals back up ke planes at la garde la gardeas raise -- at laguardia is raises the question did he know. >> you know mr. president this is coming, if the chief of staff knows, if your council knows you ought to know and have a heads up. for crisis manement purposes on the state epartment issue, i for the life of me don't understand what they a thinking. you can't resist a congressional subpoena unless you are willing to go to court, last party that went to court about being transparent was bush and cney administration, i think these documents help us, and if there is a legal the reason, sometimes political rsons have to trump legal reasons, when you are in an administration that should be about transparency, i pup sort president obama -- support presidt obama, the documents help him and nee to be put out. neil: let me ask you something about crisis and respog. youet in fntf them, i am wondering now if it is almost too late, anything you say now, for example irs thing going after the reporter thing that will lookn a variance with the facts that someone lied or misrepresented

a 400-acre penal colony on the east river, directly under the flight path of the laguardia airport.he island is home to an average of 14,000 inmates in ten different facilities. >> we patrol the meanest precincts in america. when our officers go to work, everyday, they know everyone they run into is going to be a criminal. every criminal who has committed the worst act -- >> bring all your property with you. >> is coming through here if they're coming from new york city. >> they come off of the streets. they're tired, they're dirty, they're hungry. and you saw everything there, whether it was somebody who was from wall street who was charged with fraud or whether it was the lowest of the low of the drug dealers. >> we get between 80 to 90 admissions a day, around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 356 days a year. >> what size you wear? >> 8 1/2. >> guess what, 10 is your lucky number. these are air giulianis. you can have them, my brother. >> the city never sleeps. >> don your mask. >> while cell inspections are routine at all the jails and prisons pro-filed on "lockup," the

but they're all class structures or in the airport category i see the different airports airports, laguardia and the old thank you paying your in a taxi there is interesting stuff to explore them probably have interesting and reared stuff in there but with the images i have no of course, with denver it is the tent that is my image for the denver airport. i realized different minds need to work together i am a photo realistic visual thinker i could not do algebra a lot of kids cannot do algebra but they can't do geometry. we need to let them do geometry. another kid on the high-end of the spectrum call the math genius is the pattern thinking mind building can pitchers batted patterns. because in the brain there are two kinds of visual circuits, for what is something and wear something. the mathematical mind is the where is something. these kids often have trouble with reading. cesium third grade of the kid is good in math and get a harder matchbook don't make them do baby mass then another is a word shanker in all the facts about favorite movie stars or baseball players that he really likes i

i stood in front of the metal detector at laguardia.s we just saw from that video, metal detectors may be obsolete technologies now that you can bring a plastic gun onto a plane. my solution is to extend the undetectable act that says you cannot manufacture and transport weapons that cannot be picked up by metal detectors. it was common sense in 2003 when george bush signed the law. it is now urgent sense now that the 3-d printers are manufacturing these plastic weapons and that the law is expiring at the end of this year. >> is this a genuine threat? these printers cost from $8,000 to $13,000? do you think people are goin going to follow in his footsteps -- >> i'm all for 3-d printers and all for the economic benefits they provide. i'm also for common sense. the cost of hez printers is reduced quickly. it's getting easier and easier to make these weapons. we shouldn't make it easy for terrorists and criminals to bring these plastic guns onto planes. >> it's common sense. but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of appetite for gun contro

and he's very much a support he of laguardia who is a man bringing down burlesque but his belief system is pulled out from under him. his livelihood as well is threatened and coming to an end. then he starts to act out and he never pictured having that kind over relationship with anyone. and i also think there's self loathing. he cannot accept this sort of unconditional love that he's getting and he only knows one thing and he wants to hang on to that. everyone is moving forward and he's not. >> rose: look at your own life. you have said i think in interviews before you are of a different generation too in terms of the public understanding being gay yofnld same sex marriage and how the public accepts it versus how it was. you are the older generation. >> yes. i remember, look i can remember going on to be interviewed with oprah with robin williams when the bird cage was coming out. and you know i'm trying to make this decision of do i want to discuss my own homosexuality. i sort of was fighting, i want this to be about my acting and not about a coming out story and yet now i sort of reg

trying to get to new york city, one to=)eñ two-hour delays out laguardia.ealing with delays this morning. 53, good morning. san francisco, 48 degrees. in novato, 46. a little chilly in petaluma and gilroy, elsewhere. you probably don't need the jacket. it is a jacket morning in san jose at 54 degrees. the heat is on as high pressure stays in control for today. this is going to amplify driving those winds offshore for one more day. that means no marine layer, no fog to report, maybe some ragged patches. sticking to the coastal mountains. nothing significant when it comes to visibility. ten miles all across the board right now. as you can see, a little area of low pressure. this is going to try to move in as we head throughout tomorrow morning. this thing is moving quickly. it is pretty potent system for this time of year. that's going to dramatically drop our temps. maybe some stray showers, courtesy of a thick, onshore flow up in the north bay. i am thinking sonoma county, the northernmost portion as we head into the upcoming weekend. overall, a warm day to

deficit in half one looks the fact that we are growing at half of previous -- if anyone has landed at laguardia or kennedy airport i rest my case on infrastructure. i know a lot of kids line up in the world to get into harvard and yale princeton or stanford. i haven't noticed long lines of children around the world trying to come into the united states to attend their elementary schools or public schools. so there are some real challenges here at home and i'm worried that our politics are simply not up to sorting them out. so i wrote the book essentially to make the case for what we need to do abroad in what we need to do at home and stop doing abroad and stop doing at home but also to help people sorted out. it's a complicated world. this is a far more complicated world and the world i referred to a second ago, the cold war and what i tried to do was write something blueprint is too strong of a word but i guide essentially for policymakers for sorting out the challenges of the 21st century. see what it means by the way 10 years ago we were fifth in the world in infrastructure and now we are 24

that is one of the images that i have for laguardia airport and of course denver is intense. that is my image for the denver airport. now the more i got to thinking about it different types of minds need to work together. i am a photo realistic visual thinker. everything is in pictures. i couldn't do algebra. there are a lot of kids who can't do algebra but they can do geometry. you can go on to let them do geometry and then another kind of kid on the high-end of the spectrum the math geniuses. this is the pattern of the thinking mind. they don't think in pictures. they think in patterns. in your brain you have got two kinds of visual circuits. you have circuits for what is something and then you have circuits for where is something. the mind is the where is something. these kids often have trouble with reading, so start seeing in third grade that the kid is good at math, let him take more math. don't let him to baby math. another kind of find is the word -- the guy who knows all the facts about his favorite music stars and baseball players whatever the thing is that he reall

i came to washington yesterday, chris, went to laguardia, stood in front of a metal detector. metal detectors are a pretty good idea to keep our planes safe. but if you can make a gun spirely out of plastic and bring that gun onto a plane and if you're a terrorist or a bad guy, bad idea. so we ought to pass my legislation to extend the undetectable firearms act, which was actually put on the books, signed by president bush in 2003, that says that you cannot manufacture or transport weapons that cannot be traced by a metal detector. it's just common sense. >> all right. sounds like common sense, but i don't need to tell you that there's other gun legislation about which people have said it's just common sense. and we haven't seen a lot of success. so do you have any republicans who support this? >> i know. i committed the sin of using the words common sense and house republicans in the same sentence. forgive me for that. i can't imagine any reason why anybody in congress wouldn't want to keep their constituents safer, why they would want to make it ease yr for terrorists and cr

on the left and laguardia airport on the right.ccording to trip adviser, a third of all american families plan on traveling this weekend. that is a 6% increase from last year. i hope they have a little patience on the road. the good news is that gas prices are going down. yes! you heard that right. a gallon of regular is now a few cents cheaper than last year. by july, prices should fall below $3.40. we want to bring in trip adviser.com expert, brook, we heard jonathan talking earlier about the fact the jersey shore was officially opened. ceremonially for business for this weekend this morning by governor chris christie. so that with willie geist on the "today" show. >> he can say this as a jersey guy, the jersey shore is in your heart. so to see this back reopened means everything to our state. >> so brook, obviously a really important weekend for the jersey shore. how are things looking for them there? >> certainly the tourism industry is incredibly important to new jersey. what a testament to all the local communities. the beach

my one for laguardia, these dingy old hangar offices they have. when i drive by there in a taxi, i think it'd be interesting to explore those old hangars. they probably have all kinds of interesting, weird stuff in there. so that's one of the images i have. now, of course, denver it's the -- [inaudible] that's my image for the denver airport. the more i got to thinking, i realized different kinds of minds need to work together. i'm a visual thinker. everything is in pictures. couldn't do algebra. there's a lot of kids that can't do algebra, but they can do geometry. and we need to let them go on. ten another kind of kid on a high end of the spectrum is little math geniuses. this is the pattern-thinking mind. they don't think in pictures. they think in patterns. because you've got two kinds of visual circuits. you've got circuits for what is something, and then you've got circuits for where is something. the mathematical mind is the where is something. these kids often have trouble with reading. so you start seeing in third grade that the kid's goo

you can't expand laguardia. you can't expand the footprint of so many airports.hasn't had a new airport in many, many years. i think we're stuck with what we've got, and the real key is the criteria used for this survey has to be expanded to include the basics that travelers really want, not the creature comforts like restaurants or shopping at airports. let's face it. do we want to move in to the aifrp airpo airport? we want to get to the airport and get through the airport and move on. at l.a.x., they're spending $624,000 to move it 250 feet north to accommodate the a-380 room to taxi. >> the president yesterday was saying in order to prevent these furloughs, the air traffic controllers and the delays, that they in essence shifted money that was for long-term improvements. >> the question was what was that money going to be used for anyway. the real question is access to the airport, mass transit opportunities and basically how you get out of the airport. i always laugh when i see rocking chairs at the airport. they may look cute but what's the message they're

fact we grow at a rate roughly half the post-world war ii historical average, if anyone's landed at laguardia or kennedy airport, i rest my case on infrastructure. i know that it can lie not to get in hartford company, princeton or stanford. i've noticed long lines of children's trying to come into the united states to attend elementary schools are public schools. i'm worried our politics are simply not up to sorting them out. so i wrote the book is actually to make the case for what we need to do abroad and at home and stopped doing abroad and at home, but also how people sorted out. it's a complicated world. it's far more complicated than that world a second ago, the cold war. i've tried to write blueprints, better guide for citizens as well as policy makers for sorting the challenges of the 21st century. >> one of the things this 10 years ago we were in infrastructure and our 24th in the world, which goes to richard's point. let's go straight to the middle east. when i read those where you need to readjust, dislike the word of the, i was thinking we may no longer be as interested as we use

. >> travelwise, 65 at laguardia. we have had some heavy rain certainly during the overnight hours. there's a look at it around the tri state area right now. really not exceptional as far as the heavy rainfall is concerned. may be a few isolated thunderstorms today. travelwise, not bad aside from the low cloud ceiling. boston get ago nice break. central massachusetts, a few light showers here and there and a lot of that chilling up into the into eastern portions of maine, the northern reaches of the i-95 corridor. that's the pattern right now. notice a number of these areas, you still see some stifling on the radar. even down towards d.c. we'll see a persistent setup. slow moving pressure. upstate new york, you might even find a few areas of light snowfall. hard to even think about that this time of year. that will mean cooler temperatures for the rest of us. 65 in new york. 69 in boston. so the cold air is not quite out towards the coastline. slow moving low. that means it's going to be there in place for the holiday weekend. a chance for showers your saturday. notice the cooler te
