i never understood how powerful that would be to me personally or sandy and i. after having been married in 2004, i feel like it does something for us that no other institution can do. it delivers more benefits, more security, more perm nance and more protection than any other institution in the united states. and it's why we fought so hard, not for ourselves as much as for our own children and everybody else's children who may themselves be gay or have gay parents or just know someone that is, and they can treat other people with dignity and respect because frankly when the country comes together around something that we agree on, we do great things and i really feel like what happened today, the supreme court helped california come together again after having been divided for a long time. >> sandy and kris plaintiffs who helped defeat prop 8 today and made a big personal sacrifice deciding to fight this rather than just hope for it. thank you for your activism and congratulations, save it, enjoy it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> with this moment on msnbc toda

the parents of sandy hook haven't made that decision.e should have a legal right to see those pictures but we should always have the good judgment not to show them. >> that's an interesting question. you and i have argued about guns before. but on the interesting point that the journalists down there, many of them getting together saying look, you've got to be careful. you can't just make an exception for the newtown families without also allowing it for other families of other mass shootings and so on. where do you draw the line there? >> i think first of all common decency is you have to defer to the parents. where there's one mother, jennifer hensel who's telling the new jersey ledge legislature please help her protect the images of her daughter who was slain in a way she couldn't protect her daughter when she was alive. in other words, this mother doesn't want those photos shared. especially for ideological reasons or to push any sort of political agendas. i do think you have to respect the will of the parents here. and very clearly

that is the sandy hook promise. tomorrow marks six months since the tragedy in newtown, a tragedy seared into the minds of every person across america. indeed many, millions across the world. like the anniversaries of the shooting in tucson and arizona and oak creek, and so many other communities, tomorrow arks a anniversary of shock, uncertainty, violence, horror. tomorrow marks another solemn reminder of the persistent plague of gun violence in our society, and the ongoing challenge to end it. over the past six months, many words have been spoken to offer our love and support to the community of newtown and to the students and teachers of sandy hook. from the start we have known that words of comfort would never be enough. it would be no substitute for the action that we must take, that would be a truly fitting memorial to the 20 children and six teachers and administrators lost that day. yesterday we had visits from the families, brought pictures of their loved ones who were lost. david gordon, lauren, ben, enjam

i figure it was either katrina or sandy. >> it was hurricane sandy from new jersey. and interestingly enough, i say nothing in the book about the potential for hurricane to hit new york because the book went to pets before hurricane sandy and i was trying to describe what might happen including in the united states, but the prospect of a hurricane in new york didn't seem. you're follow a scientist, you say. >> one of these things is it needs to be clarified. our policy makers are mostly interested how people are going to be affected. and the link between glaciers and mountain glaciers melting and my life is not well-spelled out. at least in my view not in a way that a popular audience can see so i was trying to make that connection to human institutions. we don't seem to get it though in the sense of taking the action that is strong enough to change things. and one reason is among the physical affects for example are the ice in the antarctic is melting and causing seas to rise but most of us don't know what that means to us. most of us don't know that it's going to m

whether it's a need for space, people need to have space as they did in the aftermath of hurricane sandy, or now in oklahoma, or whether they needed to get a car because their car was damaged, or they needed some repairs in their house, they're trying to relight the pilot in the stove and they didn't know how to do it. they can't find the big utilities enthralled in a great effort elsewhere. these sorts of things people can help each other and we can access the companies that are part of bay share and the share economy to get some help for people right away. it's all in the general effort that i want people of san francisco in every single neighborhood to know we want them here as part of the recovery, that they're not going elsewhere, we're not leaving them alone. we're not leaving them isolated. i learned that big lesson as myself and others who went with me to new orleans a few years back a couple years after their levees broke. we tried to understand the frustration of people in the ninth ward, and we kept getting these testimonies. local government and the businesses didn't ask us t

i know sandy and i believe it. it could not be a prouder moment. >> sandy, what is the plan for a wedding? correct? >> well, the plan is for a wedding. as soon as we possibly can. we don't know quite yet when that's going to be in california. but the second it's allowed, we will definitely be there with our beautiful sons. and we're so, so grateful to be able to get married. we're grateful we're getting married before any of them, because they're old enough now. and we're amazed by this amazing show of support by our president. >> were you prepared for an alternative outcome today? were you prepared for different news? i saw jeff when he came to the podium, he had a secondary speech that he crumpled up. with understanding. that it might not have turned out this way. >> it might not have. i was hoping so much to have a ruling on the merits, i hoped nothing more than for equality for all americans and every state of our country. equality is fundamental to the very basis of our society, and we look forward to the day

the national climatic data center says the two most expensive disasters were sandy, that cost about $65 billion in losses and the yearlong drought which had a hefty toll of about $30 billion. of course we've seen a pretty disruptive year so far, tornado in moore, we were supposed to have a horrible hurricane season. >> nine named storms maybe. >> and then the wildfires going on in colorado. >> exactly. >> it's so early this year. >> hopefully they won't pan out. maybe they'll just happen over the ocean waters or not be destructive to property. >>> coming up the fight over a montgomery county road takes a turn in court. >>> and yellow alert day today, thunderstorms in the area, messy evening commute for a lot of people. erica's first alert weather forecast is up next. you will want to pay >>> hi, there it, meteorologist erica grow. 5:46. we're taking a look at the michael and son weather cam. no problems out there just yet, but as we head towards the noontime hour, that's when we're going to expect that threat for thunderstorms. 79 degrees at noon, 82 at 5:00 p.m. with scattered thunders

the impact by the superstorm sandy we sent teams in there stablished collaborating center out of that collaborating center teams started to go out and do surveillance doing it vance assessment on the basic needs of the population we brought that information back and people who were acutely ill back into medical facilities or really temporary facilities that were used for medical purposes. and so these teams are are fairly well equipped and ready to go with suitcases many cases all around the world but then once you go into the communities and we start to build it back with the mesh networks then the local population are also able to use their cell phones and s.m.s. capability and then you can start crowdsourcing from the population itself in addition where you don't even have that capability what we do is build analog centers meaning with paper and maps maps and paper in collaborating centers where where they're hubs for people to come in and that might be a barbershop where it might be a restaurant or it could be a church whatever. it is the natural. meeting place for that community

for air b & b, we've taken that functionally it that we developed for hurricane sandy and we made it such we can deploy it next time within 30 minutes, whether it be here in san francisco or anywhere else around the world, to rally, to rally support and provide services. and, so, in closing i just want to thank our city leaders, mayor lee, president chiu, the department of emergency management, the bay share and the sharing economy companies for getting this dialogue started so that we're ready when it's needed. thank you. (applause) >> thank you, nate. and thank you all for coming. this has been a great day today. we are going to get -- go back into our meeting and continue our dialogue, but mayor lee and president chiu and i believe nate and milicent also will be here to answer a few questions if you would like to. so, thank you all for coming.

over $11 million were given impurities to the families of the sandy hook elementary.ies have not seen a penny of that money. six months ago this happened. michelle cruise was a victim advocate at the time of the sandy hook shooting and she joins us now. michelle, it is great to have you here. what went wrong? why has in this money gone to families? >> thank you for having me. you know, part of the problem is that there wasn't a lot of transparency in the beginning when this was created. united way came out and said that they are collecting funds for the families and the idea for all of the community in the nation was that people were going to give donations to these funds and the money will go directly to the families. then it seems that there have been several different approaches. then it went up to 7 million. i believe that with was it. in every state, crime victims have statutory rights, the idea that the community has given those donations was not based on need or that these funds were going to go to the community or services. gerri: you have said that these fami

super storm sandy. let's not forget the human cost. more than 130 lives.away by news of sandy was the year-long drought. the longest since the dust bowl days of the 1930s, affecting more than half the country for most of the year and costing $30 billion. and remember, the drought leads to wildfires, which last year burned $9 million acres across the country. what is being done? >> this is urgent work and it must begin now. just this week, new york city's mayor, michael bloomberg, proposed a 20 billion plan, to upgrade the city's building codes. new york city suffered $19 billion in damage post sandy, and bloomberg says the forecast by mid century is that a similar storm could cost nearly five times that. $90 billion. >> we can do nothing and expose ourselves to an increasing frequency of sandy-like storms. we could abandon the waterfront or we can make the investments necessary to build a stronger and more resilient new york. >> and we are joined from seaside heights, new jersey. they suffered so much after super storm sandy, and now how are they doing? >>
