pirie supervisor chiu: -- todd david. supervisor chiu: is there a second? seconded by supervisor farrell. any further discussion? supervisor campos? up supervisor campos: first of all, i want to thank all of the people who put their names forward to serve on this task force. any time that someone is willing to serve the city and county of san francisco, i think that we have to appreciate their willingness to do that. i think that a lot has been said. the couple of points that i want to make, one, while i do not agree with everything that has come out of the sunshine task force, i think it is important for us to understand that in making these elections -- selections the rules committee made, as we tried to have a balanced approach, i certainly did not end up getting everything that wanted. there were some individuals that i wish had been reappointed, were appointed, that did not go through, but i think the candidates that came forward reflect the diversity of perspective. i think that the rules committee of did a good job

trevor mcneil, i'd be very supportive of, todd david, who i've gotten to know, as well, certainly the work with public schools and parents, not a more important task in town and your willingness to share is great and david sims, as well, was really impressed by your background and willingness here. so this is tough but those would be my choices here. i know a number of people didn't even get to show up today that i would have been open to and have spoken with before but those would be my initial shots and i know we'll have to keep talking about it. chairperson kim: thank you, supervisor farrell. supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you very much, supervisor kim, madam chair, and thank you to supervisor farrell, as well. i'd like to begin by saying what i always say whenever we have a situation where we have more applicants than we have seats. it's always a shame because i think that any one of the folks who is before us today would do a good job, an excellent job on the sunshine task force so it's very difficult to have to narrow choices. but in terms of the individuals that i

my apologies, my vote against the motion was a vote for bruce wolfe, not against todd david. supervisor chiu: thank you. my clerk just remind me that there were a couple of comments from the fact that there will be almost complete replacement. as our clerk and deputy city attorney has advised me, we still have four seats that would be held over until the rules committee makes a decision, so those individuals will continue to serve. i know that the chairwoman of the committee has requested that appointing bodies send additional names in addition to the income, but that is still a matter in front of the rules committee. that said, unless there is further discussion, why don't we take a roll call vote on supervisor wiener's amendment? supervisor chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: no. supervisor mar: no. supervisor olague: no. supervisor wiener: aye. supervisor avalos: no. supervisor campos: no. >> there are six ayes and five no. supervisor chiu: the motion passes. what we take a vote on the fi

next we have hanley chan and finally todd david. >> hi, my name is hanley chan. i want to first thank supervisors for giving me an opportunity to speak. i want to make it brief, that's the way you like it. i would like to serve for another term in the sunshine ordinance task force and i vow myself to serve in the task force until the sunshine amendment has passed and it's been four years that we have not put an amendment through. i would like my fellow colleagues to be reappointed and especially one person that i really want to see get appointed is doug comstock. he is an icon to the sunshine ordinance task force. he brings a lot of value to it. at one point, i serve as a chair of education and outreach committee of the task force and outreach to a.p.a. community. i have many interviews with the chinese press about sunshine issues and i want to keep doing so. a little bit about myself. i was born and raised in san francisco. i serve in many non-profit organizations. i can't name them all because we'll be here forever. i love to volunteer and give back to the comm

todd. >> thanks, david. this is, really, i think, one of the -- the -- the key discussions that we need to be having on this immigration issue, and that is, what are the solutions? what are other solutions? as we've heard this morning, if you look at the number of state-level immigration laws and even immigration laws that have been passed at the city, county or state levels over the last several years, as you've heard this morning, the economic outcomes in a lot of the social outcomes are not very good. so we can either continue down a path of following some ideas that we know don't work, or we can begin starting to explore some ones that have a better shot of working. the three presenters that you're going to hear now come at this from quite different perspectives. we have county attorney bill montgomery. who is the attorney for maricopa county, arizona which is sort of, i guess a lot of people call ground zero of the immigration debate in arizona and certainly in the country. we have reverend robin hoover

. >> all right, chuck todd, thanks very much. let's bring in david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." good morning, good to see you. >> good morning, lester. >> these supports, the g-8 and nato conference, it's all about the president trying to get world leaders on the same page, in the first case about the euro debt crisis, the second case of nato on afghanistan. how important is it for the president, and has he found consensus on any of these issues? >> well, it's still very difficult going, i think, as you deal with europe in particular. and the fact that the same debate they're having there is what we're going to have in the united states, which is how do you make the economy grow better? do you slash the budget in order to get growth or not? and a lot of people think that all these austerity measures in europe simply have not worked well enough, and that's the debate that we're going to be having here in the fall, particularly as, yes, get ready for it again, another debt ceiling debate about raising that debt ceiling toward the end of the

todd was sitting. >> the political director himself. >> yeah. >> david, what about these threats?bviously the campaign and the mayor's house among the alleged targets. how concerning has this been? how is it if at all disrupted your activities? >> i'm not going to comment on these specific charges, but i think that the chicago police department has been very an sid duious, the secret service and all the authorities involved. we're grateful for that. this has come off very well. there are some minor skirmishes back and forth but in terms of the security, i think it's been well handled. >> wanted to ask you about cory booker. he goes on "meet the press" and unloads on the attacks on bain capital. and here's a little bit about what he had to say. >> i'm not about to sit here and indict private equity. to me we're getting to a ridiculous point in america. if you look at totality of bain capital's record, they've done a lot to support byes, to grow businesses and this to me, i'm very uncomfortable. this kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides. it's nauseating to the american pu

. >> all right, chuck todd this morning. chuck, thanks. david gregory is the moderator of "meet the press." david, good morning to you. >> good morning, ann. >> so as we just heard chuck reporting, the -- the romney campaign seems to be thinking if it just asks the question, are you better off now than you were four years ago that it could have a good chance of winning. but what do you think about the president's response to that, that things are getting better but year not there yet? how is that going to hold up in the face of that powerful message? >> well, it's going to be a contest. because if it is a referendum on the president's leadership it's a problem for the president when you see weak economic recovery. what the president is getting at is who's got the vision? who's got the vision for the future of economic recovery? the message is hang in there, the hole is so big, we're coming out of it, and the more people like the president, and we've seen this in polling that he's likable, the better chance, perhaps, he has to persuade them to st

. >> chuck todd, here is the david axelrod byte. >> i love cory booker. he's a great mayor.were on fire, i wish he was my neighbor. in this case, he was wrong. there are instances that speak to an economic theory that isn't right for the country. >> can you believe he made that reference to a burning house? >> i'm thinking maybe -- >> oh, that's cold. >> that is unbelievable. if my house was on fire -- >> somebody on twitter last night said cory booker ran into a burning fire to rescue himself. that's what he's been doing. watching cory booker on this, tough wonder, is he doing the bidding of the obama campaign or worrying about cory booker, 2014, 2016 or whatever it is? >> i think he thooz worry about both. >> i would start worrying about cory. >> i like him a lot. >> we like him a lot, too. i was saying last hour, seriously, for cory booker, one of the top rising stars in the democratic party, this is a real crisis for him. if i'm a democratic fund-raiser and i see a potential national candidate go on "meet the press" and he uses that opportunity to undermine the message f

david ignatius joins us. i don't know if he will after watching this. also harold ford jr., chuck todd. >> still can't get over chuck's "jeopardy!" performance. >>> first, bill karins with a check on the forecast. >> it's almost like we're still enjoying a beautiful weekend, but things have changed in a hurry. it was so nice in so many spots this weekend, but the east coast will not stay that way. we also had a storm in the middle that spawned tornadoes. this video out of kansas, very impressive. this storm had winds up to 140 miles per hour. look at that. this guy was only about a quarter mile away from the base of that tornado. so ta storm system heads east today. also, right along the east coast, we're dealing with a tropical storm. can you believe that? we actually had tropical storm alberto form. it's a very weak system drifting out to sea. not a problem for anyone. can you believe our hurricane season has started already? if you're heading out the door in central new jersey, northern new jersey right along the jersey coast just outside of new york city southward, some heavy rain

david, we'll see you tomorrow. we do want to go to todd. he joins us on the fast line here.u believe you've invested in the best of breed bank and one of the best of breed management teams in jamie dimon and the rug is being yanked out from underneath you. obviously from the tenure of the call investors and analysts alike were stunned by the admission on the part of jamie and the company. completely unexpected. completely out of character for a company like that that prides itself on a risk management system. that being done is all it does is help the fed's position for the implementation of volker and what constitutes proprietary trading. it has a negative implication for the rest of the broker dealers. it couldn't come at a worst time at this stage of the rule making process. >> didn't blithe masters a week ago -- i don't know when, didn't she just say they don't take proprietary something like that at j.p. morgan. i'm paraphrasing. she said something that sort of flies in the face of what's going on. >> that's what's so, you know, stunning about the admission from the poi

david stern will have flowers and a thank you card on his doorstep this morning. that's your "first look" at sports, i'm mario solis. >>> for another look at the weather, here's meteorologist todd. >> if you have starting off with decent temperatures, here in new york, fairly mild. temperatures at 68 degrees, a little more comfortable, less muggy. 71 down in d.c. cool spots up towards the u.p. of michigan and the arrowhead of minnesota. the hot spot this morning, to the southwest, yuma, arizona. to get into warning territory you're talking numbers like that, 108 in phoenix for today. did put the colors so you could see the real heat across the country, that's where it is, extending into some of the southern-most valleys in california. could see numbers approaching the 112 rang and above. i generally see some of the hottest numbers across the country, those are real hot numbers. over towards the east coast, beautiful conditions. northern maine, maybe a few showers, chicago getting into some of the lighter rain right now. lower mississippi valley. the best chance for thunderstorms. dallas, your chances are during the middle and first half of the day. seattle with at least some sh

david gregory. and here with us onset in washington, we have the democratic senator from oregon, senator dan widen. and host of "the daily rundown" chuck todd call that? >> pinhuelo. >> he is just making up stuff now. nobody's heard of that. >>> david gregory, it's very exciting. joe biden makes news. the administration, the president, now supports gay marriage. how exciting, right? >> yeah. they spent a lot of time afterward trying to walk that back. first saying that the vice president was speaking for himself, and then saying that he was totally consistent with president obama. this was newsworthy. why? because this administration appears poised to change its position on same-sex marriage. the president has said before that his views were evolving. the vice president and the president both opposed to same-sex marriage when they campaigned in 2008. i don't know how you interpret what the vice president said yesterday other than the fact that he has evolved. that his position has changed. there is this expectation as you know, joe, that if the president gets a second term, he's going to change his position on gay marriage. and whether they

. >> chuck todd at the white house this morning, chuck, thank you very much. >>> david axelrod is a senior adviser for president obama's re-election campaign. david, good to see you. good morning. >> thanks, matt. good to see you, too. >> let's talk about some of these battleground states. there does seem to be a momentum shift in florida, the president was up by about five points. that's now seen as a dead heat. in ohio, he's up by five points, but that's down from 12 points just a couple of months ago. and take a look at wisconsin. once the lead there of about 17 points. it's down to about three or four. why the shift? >> well, first of all, they're called battleground states for a reason, matt. they are the closest states in the country. they're very closely divided politically. and what's happened is what we anticipated would happen. when there's a republican nominee, republicans and republican-leaning independents consolidate behind that nominee and we have the race we expected. the most interesting polling number i've seen in the last week is the one here in massachusetts where mitt

todd. great to see you this morning. thank you, sir. >> you got it. >>> we want to bring back our panel, david, goodfriend. thanks for your patience. the "usa today" gallup poll is showing that among supporters for marriage equality are women voters. voters between the ages of 18 to 34. all-important independent vote. these are groups where both sides are actively courting. do you think that, especially now we are getting this information from 2004, about what republicans were learning about shifting opinions, about marriage equality, and the lgbt community, do you think republicans are on the losing side of this issue and they need to shore it up quickly and get to where they need to right the boat? >> i don't think so. i think there is a d on the republican side. there are those trying to parse words and trying to say it morrell subsequently ask be very cautious in the way they move forward. there are like rick santorum and tony perkins that came out and said no, this is the issue romney needs to use to gin up his base because he has an number gap and beenwhelm known and this is a chance for him to come out strong and say no, i'm

american living rooms, they were ready to go in terms of, you know, david axelrod with his tweets and the vice president's office calling chuck toddters saying, well, there's no daylight here, nothing to see here. but here is the thing. i agree with what major has written. but clearly, the vice president knew the president's thinking on this. clearly, secretary duncan knew the president's thinking on this. and if anything, these two guys were asked a question that maybe they were prepared for but didn't expect to happen. and they answered truthfully and honestly. and as i said in the last hour, you know, the vice president answered that question in a way that you knew was heartfelt, that was sincere, that was honest. and if that's what it took to get the president to make his evolution known, so be it. it was the right thing to do. >> and what's interesting is the contrast with mitt romney. and alex, after we show this next bite from the president, let's cue up the mitt romney bite for his position on this and how long he's held it. that was even painful to watch. the president explained to robin roberts why he didn't take a stand

david ignatius. and historian douglas brinkley to discuss his new biography on walter cronkite. >>> and next, the results from the tight primary in texas. >>> but first, todd santos with a check on the forecast. todd? >> mika, thanks so much. some of my favorite "morning joe" shows are when your dad is on. >> me too. >>> and i wanted to give you the latest with tropical depression beryl. the system has increased in wind speed. 35 mile per hour winds moving north-northeast. a lot of the heavy rain east of the 95 corridor. and right along it, portions of north carolina, and south carolina today. so certainly keep tuned to the forecast if you live in the outer banks of north carolina or even towards moorehead city, wilmington. it could be developing back into a tropical storm if not later today, into tomorrow. did also want to mention the chance for showers across the new york tristate area towards d.c., philly, even boston it later this afternoon. limited thunderstorm potential, but could see a few of them. nothing compared to yesterday. otherwise, a fairly mild morning. 69 degrees in new york right now. just make sure you have at least an umbrella with you,
