Chairman of the board and my friend, senator tom daschle. To [applause] let me just say what a fantastic day this has been. Sen. Daschle we gather at an important time, a time when our country is facing one of the most challenging moments in history. A time when the pillars of our democratic republic are being tested. But the American People increasingly are refusing to sit idly by. They are reacting, they are responding, and yes, they are resisting.

Theres plenty to do as we kick off the unofficial start to summer in true american fashion. But first our weather. Tracking the highs and lows in the first alert neighborhood forecast. Krystal klei is tracking our weather. Krystal . Looking at philadelphia here, gorgeous shot, little breeze. Flags around. And what we see is still mostly dark picture. I know you see clear skies right now and think, ah, sunshine ahead. Right now it is fairly clear on our radar and satellite view. If we pull this out a little bit, look to the west. Good area of cloud coverage and rain thats directly to our west. Its heading our direction. Now its not going to hold together quite so well. So, not as much rain as you see here. Not as much strength either. But that is heading our way. Were going to turn to a mostly cloudy forecast today. Although we are starting sunny this morning. Temperatures not bad at 61 degrees in philadelphia. 60 in northeast philly and 55 in pottstown. 58 for Atlantic City. Temperatur
Prosperity was kind enough in the weeks before i came to actually bombard the telephones, fill the mailboxes, talking about the fact that i was going to come up and visit. I have no doubt that a whole heck of a lot of you dont know what its like to have afp go after you but its a fairly common occurrence in a place like montana. I showed up anyway. By the end of the meeting, they acknowledged that 40 of the people that walked through the hospital doors didnt have health insurance. They recognize if they lost that rural hospital, that community was soon to follow. They saw past the rhetoric and understood that not only could expansion improve the health of the friends and neighbors. But at the endst day, it would save that rural hospital which also saves that rural community. Their support and then that visit gave their local republican legislator the confidence to defy her party leadership. To defy the coke brothers and actually support the measure and every vote matters. Every single

When you see the yellows and oranges, that indicates a little heavier rain, an isolated thunderstorm may start to pop.
Playground in Golden Gate Park on fire. We have a look at the damage and reaction from parents. Its really heartbreaking to see this burn. Yeah, because it was just like it was so, like, good. Reporter families came to bring children to play to find a secon section of the playground off limits. The playground was cordoned off after someone set fire to it early saturday morning. Someone was playing with fire and the fire got loose because it was windy. Reporter the grownups dont think it played out so innocently. Somebody is being very selfish. I dont know what they were thinking. Reporter coret childrens quarter is a popular spot not only for locals but for outoftowners as well. Its located near the carousel and underwent a milliondollar renovation eight weeks ago.
