severe thunderstorms about to roll through new york city. they are moving quickly and will be here in central new england by the heart of the morning rush hour. if you're traveling anywhere in this region, give yourself extra time. if you're in the new york city area, wait another half hour indoors if you can. very windy day from the great lakes through the mid-atlantic as the rain exists and the storm heads out. gusty winds behind it. a weak storm system is coming out of kansas today, should bring wet weather to kansas city and eventually down here into arkansas. ov overall the worst of it heading out in new england today. if you're watching in georgia, litd up your day with festive trees with decorative ornmentes. that's your early event of today. >>> now here's an early look at your headlines in entertainment. hollywood is in shock this morning after a respected publicist was gunned down leaving a hollywood movie premiere. ronnie chasen was shot and killed and police say they have no motives. the mystery deepened when police seized comput

thank you. >> well, firstly, new york city is -- new york city is is so far ahead of any other city in america as it relates to coming out of recessions and being, ultimately, able to resume where it was when it was at the peak of its career in a very positive way. when you look at the city today and you read that 10% of all the jobs created in the united states in the last quarter were created in new york city, that's incredible. just incredible. i think new york city's population is about 3% of the united states, and so we're way ahead in terms of prosperity current and yet to come. but the most important thing that mayor bloomberg has done which he gets very little credit for is he's changed the whole tone of race relations in this city. there, to the best of my knowledge, there simply is no racial problem in this city. there was not just that which we referred to under my administration for the reasons i've given you, but under giuliani, under david dinkens. it was there. mike bloomberg changed it, and the question always will exist, how did he do it? it's his personality. he's not

the great treasures of new york city. let me first introduce jonathan soffer. he grew up in albany and had the wisdom to mention manhattan to attend columbia. he joined the broadway democrats, which endorsed ballan in 1977. [laughter] certain things may be forgiven. he got his doctorate from columbia and now teaches history at nyu polytechnic institute. i realize not long ago that if we start with henry hudson's foliage nearly 400 years ago, i've been covering the york city for more than 10% of its record of history. [laughter] they say that journalism is the first draft of history. welcome some journalists admittedly have carried that to its strengths. this is undoubtedly a apocryphal story that there is the story of the soviet union arrived in moscow and three days later he called his editor the renounced not thinking of the story but that he had produced a full-length book to read a book, the editor said, you have to be kidding. what's it called? to which the reporter totally unfazed replied russia yesterday, today and

. >>> first, let's get to the news live at 5:30 a.m. here at 30 rock in new york city. president obama's post-election summit with congressional leaders that was scheduled for tomorrow has now been postponed until after thanksgiving on november 30. in a statement, the white house said republican senate minority leader mcconnell and his house counterpart john boehner requested the delay because of "scheduling conflicts." that means they had something bigger on their schedule than meeting with the president of the united states. however, republican aides tell politico that a distrust of president obama's invitations led to the sitdown being pushed back until after thanksgiving. the standoff reportedly dates back to a meeting in january where the president offered harsh criticism of house republicans. that dynamic along with republican wins in the midterms apparently have emboldened republican leaders to insist the president reschedule the summit to accommodate their schedule and not his. wow. stay tuned to that one. >>> meanwhile, republican opposition is dimming presiden
