good morning. it is sunday, april 9th, easter sunday, as we take this glorious look outside at the stunning sunrise. what a way to start this blessed
7:01 am
day. thank you for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper. i just wish we could have stayed on that sun rise a little bit longer. cinthia pimentel joins us with a quick look at the microclimate forecast. >> that sun rise is just so beautiful. i feel so lucky and blessed to be waking up with all of you this morning. happy sunday. a beautiful look over the bay bridge span. wherever you turn this morning, it is stunning outside. even as we make our way into dublin. no cloud cover in our way like yesterday morning, keeping the temperatures a little cooler. 43 in dublin and in palo alto. 49 in san francisco. and 48 in san jose. 46 in san martin. a beautiful day on easter, 70 degrees in san rafael. a lot of places around the bay area, going to see a very warm day. i'll take a look at where the 70s will be coming up in a little bit.
7:02 am
kira? >> cinthia, thanks. the chp is investigating a shooting on 880 right here the border of fremont and melpidas. at one point yesterday, all south bound lanes were closed. cars at a complete stop. people getting out, walking around. we were first to break the news yesterday evening. marianne favro has more. >> reporter: chp officers are on foot, combing southbound 880 looking for evidence after one person was shot at 6:40 north of dixon landing road. suzy smith was driving at the time. >> it's scary. i mean, somebody pulls up right next to me, i'll slow down or speed up. i get very comfortable if somebody is next to me. >> reporter: officers say the victim was taken by ambulance to a hospital and all laning of south bound 880 were shut down for about a half hour. there was such gridlock, some
7:03 am
people got out of their cars and walked around on the freeway. and nearby streets were clogged with drivers who had been diverted off of 880. officers are still looking for the suspects and investigating the shooting. marianne favro "today in the bay." new this morning, police are investigating a shooting in the east bay that happened just after 6:30 on fremont boulevard in fremont. a car drove up next to a pedestrian, and someone in the car and the pedestrian started arguing. bullets started flying, but luckily they were not hit until officers arrived. the shooter drove off. if you have any information, contact fremont police. major league soccer is now investigating an allegation of racism that happened during last night's match between the san jose earthquakes and the new york red bulls. the incident happened during the second half of the game at red bull arena in new jersey.
7:04 am
play was actually stopped for 15 minutes because earthquakes forward said he heard a racist remark from the red bulls dahntay vander. he spoke to the media after the game. >> i know what i heard, and the reason why i felt -- after a lengthy conversation -- that we should continue on with the game is because the player who said the word claimed that it was not aimed at any of us. whether that is a good-faith comment or not, again, we'll see how the investigation goes on. >> the mls said it is launching an investigation. the red bulls, meanwhile, say the team is taking the allegation seriously.
7:05 am
the earthquakes also released a statement saying "our club does not tolerate any form of racism or abuse, and we stand with our players following these very serious allegations." back here in the bay area, outrage, disgusted, and calling for action. those are the words of the mayor of antioch after a judge released the names of 17 police officers accused of using racist language. a judge released the names of the accused on friday. this comes after several officers were placed on administrative leave last month for alleged civil rights violations and other possible crimes. the mayor says he's extremely disappointed with the culture of racism in the police department. one officer named by the judge is the president of the antioch police union. >> we're talking about 17 officers, all taking place under our watch. the reality is, we have a command staff.
7:06 am
we have a department that is about -- historically, we have had about 100 officers. i can't understand how, with such a small police department, how these things can happen with no one on the command staff ever finding out. so i'm gravely concerned about the leadership here. i'm gravely concerned about accountability coming from the city council and the city manager's office. >> thorpe is calling for an independent audit of the police department's internal affairs process and wants a complete, independent audit of promotion and hiring practices, and is pushing for measures to crack down on racist and behavioral bias in officers. police are promising a crackdown after a series of sideshows in the east bay. among the locations, richmond, rodeo, and oakland. opd says it received reports up to 50 vehicles in west oakland.
7:07 am
here is a closer look at a sideshow in richmond at close way. you can see people, all crowded around. police were also seen nearby. richmond pd have not replied to our request for comment. there are growing calls to make san francisco safer after the stabbing death of cash app bounder bob lee. in the early hours of tuesday morning, the 43-year-old tech executive was stabbed on main street in san francisco's east cut neighborhood. paramedics rushed him to the hospital, where he died. no arrests have been made. the petition on change.org calls on the district attorney to take stronger action toward violent criminals. it also asks the mayor and the police department to thoroughly investigate lee's death. the mayor's office says police are aggressively investigating,
7:08 am
take thing case and all homicides very seriously. we're following developing news in the south bay where san jose police say the victim in the shooting just south of downtown has died. shots rang out around noon in broad daylight yesterday near the intersection of south 3rd street. paramedics rushed one person to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. that victim did not survive. no word on any arrests or possible shooters. this is san jose's eighth homicide of the year. people yesterday in san francisco marched for lbgtq rights. >> we are not hateful. we are not taking over your kids. >> this is a look at the drag up, fight back demonstration were people were protecting the targeting of lbgtq plus people across the country. in 33 states, lawmakers have
7:09 am
introduced 300 bills this legislative system, including bans on gender-affirming care. in three states, there are efforts to ban drag shows. speakers and supporters of lbgtq plus rights should be more visible with their support. >> i am here because drag is not a crime, and trans rights are human rights, and the lbgtq community will not be silenced. we will not be erased or criminal sized. >> san francisco democratic party helped organize the event with the sisters of perpetual indulgence, an organization that uses drag and religious imagery to draw attention to religious intolerance. there was one noticeable absence at that march. >> i know you feel me. it is tough just to even be here.
7:10 am
>> that was a tribute at the drag-up march for the city's iconic drag performer who died unexpectedly in london on monday. her legal name was steffen grigelko. she appeared in tv shows and movies but in san francisco, she's known for the golden girls live show. senator scott weiner called the performer a staunch defender of drag. easter morning, much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we go live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd for a
7:11 am
7:12 am
welcome back. please join me in welcoming nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd, who has a preview of the show. thanks for joining us this morning. i want to first off wish that you enjoy the happy birthday yesterday.
7:13 am
>> thank you. very nice of you. >> of course. >> yeah, i don't want to count them much more any more. but it was good enough. >> every day above ground is a good one, right? >> that's right. >> i want to start with democratic representative justin jones and justin pierson who were expelled from the tennessee house for disorderly behavior. their counterpart, representative gloria johnson, was able to be spared from that, although i think it's important to note she only kept her job by one vote. i bet they have a lot to say this morning, and i hear there might be some action happening, even as early as tomorrow. >> well, look, they both are seeking their jobs back. they both likely will get reappointed. tennessee has an interesting way they work. there will be a special election. in the meantime, there be l be an appointment of a temporary representative for the two
7:14 am
districts. and the local community makes that decision. and it's likely both memphis and nashville communities are going to reappoint both gentlemen here. look, i assume they will also file some charges on constitutional grounds. i don't know if this expulsion meets constitutional grounds, to be honest. not something we've ever seen before, and i don't know whether a federal court would intervene on this front. but it's possible that this was -- their constitutional rights were violated here or perhaps more importantly, the constitutional rights of the people that voted them into office. because this is so unprecedented. tennessee, the statehouse that only evicted -- expelled two other members going back since the 19th century, and both were because they committed actual crimes, one of bribery, one of sexual assault. no one had been kicked out for expressing a political point of view. >> the republicans compared it
7:15 am
to like the january 6th uprising that these two participated in something of the sort. so it will be interesting to see how that plays out in tennessee. also before we let you go, i want to ask you quickly, you have one of donald trump's attorneys on this morning. this last week, of course, we saw donald trump plead not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. but he's not due back in court until december 4th at this point. so what is their game plan, these next eight months? >> well, here's the thing, the attorney on the show today is representing the president in the classified documents case. that's the thing here. a lot of stuff happened here, the least consequential is the manhattan legal case. the former president is very concerned about it because of the personal revelations that could come out that may impact his own personal life.
7:16 am
but his legal jeopardy is minimal. if he gets convicted, he still won't serve time. where he has real threats to his future has to do with classified documents, where jail time is a real penalty. or in the georgia case. by the way, there's a civil trial that gets underway at the end of this month with a woman who is accusing him of defamation regarding an alleged sexual assault that goes back to the '90s. so he's not due back in court in manhattan until december, but there's going to be a lot of legal developments in other cases between now and then. so that's why it's so hard for me to just look at the manhattan case in isolation. >> thank you for clairing that for me. i did momentarily forget all the other trials that likely lie ahead. chuck, thank you for joining us. we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he'll have an interview with rem presenttives from tennessee and
7:17 am
the donald trump attorney. stick right here for the rest of the news on "today in the bay" and joint "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston and look at the governor's walking tour around the country. and whether this could hint at the possibility of running for a higher office. senator richard blumenthal of connecticut broke his leg in a freak accident yesterday. a spokesman for the democrat senator says while he was at the uconn victory parade, someone fell into him from behind. he ended up with a broken leg and is set to have surgery today. he is expected to make a full recovery. back here locally, record setter riley gaines is pursuing a lawsuit with the university after clashes with protestors
7:18 am
this week. you may remember we told you about this yesterday morning. on thursday, transrights activists protected gaines, who was asked to speak by a conservative group. videos show her taken away from pursuing protestors, some shouting obscenities. this is because gaines believes female competitors off face a disadvantage against transgender opponenting. gaines claims activists assaulted her and held her hostage as she left the event, and that campus police did nothing. the vice president for student affairs emailed students a message that read in part "thank you to our students who participated peacefully in thursday evvening's event. it took bravery. i am proud of the moment where we listened and asked questions." the university is also investigating the disturbance. april is world autism month, and this morning, we are
7:19 am
highlighting one young artist from central florida whose viral art is breaking ground. 9-year-old tiger has been draug before most kids his age had finished kindergarten. the autistic tiger has been drawing since he was 5, wowing his more than 56,000 instagram followers. his dad says that drawing isn't the only self-taught skill. >> his two skills, it's not drawing, it's hyper focus and hard work. tiger's drawing has had an incredible impact. people are shocked when they see him. they see him at comic-con and they eke liar, he can handle they are calling the autistic tiger challenge. if you're looking to get outside and enjoy the sunshine on this easter, we might have
7:20 am
some ideas in this weekend calendar. >> good morning, kira. there's a lot of tradition around the sun rise on easter sunday. there's also a lot of tradition around the blossoming cherry trees from san francisco. so we're well into the weekend. this is a symbol of good fortune, new beginnings and revival. the cherry blossom festival returns again this year. next up is the festival that celebrates bengali. this is a nonprofit working towards gender justice in india by supporting education for women and girls. go to the website for more information on the nonprofit. this time of work is music to my hears. keep heading east for the final day of the competition called robo gain at the fair grounds in
7:21 am
alameda county. yes, this is what you saw on tv. you can get your tickets through the website. >> thanks, mike. time to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at the forecast. i almost wish we could move out of the way so viewers could enjoy this view behind me. >> so clear. you can see all the way to sutro tower. this is what you can expect walking out the door today. beautiful sun rise over san jose, and if you want to stay in the south bay for your easter plans, go to the park. look at that. we are climbing. out of the 50s into the 60s by the middle of the day. topping out with plenty of sunshine in the 70s for the middle of your sunday.
7:22 am
head to the coast. point richmond, beautiful spot. currently, 46 degrees. we'll be climbing into the upper 60s by 2:00. just a little bit of a sea breeze, of course, with that coastal influence. beautiful no matter where you look. 73 in napa. 75 in dublin. upper 70s down into the santa clara valley. tomorrow, very similar conditions, a few high clouds passing over the region. 62 in san francisco and in half moon bay. 73 in fremont. 69 for you in hayward. there are some changes ahead of today and tomorrow's beautiful forecast. so soak up all of that sunshine and get out there and enjoy all the sweet streets, because this system right here that we see, we'll start to drop into the bay area come monday night into tuesday. that means the winds will pick up again out of the west. so look at that, tuesday morning, if you are driving over any bridges or out to the coastline, be careful of that.
7:23 am
winds from about 25 to 30 miles per hour. continuing with gusts into the afternoon, picking up almost borderline, a wind advisory. we'll keep you posted on that. now, that will bring the temperatures down as we go into tuesday. only in the 60s for you there, with maybe a few 70s as you make your way into the innermost valley such as free lamont and down in san martin. once we get past this unsettled weather pattern, high pressure will start to rise back up again into next weekend. so we do have just a little bit to deal with in terms of unstable weather, but then we are crossing our fingers as to more spring-like temperatures as we take it inland. seven-day forecast, one more day and the sunshine returns and we'll be right here to tell you about it. >> i love this forecast. cinthia, thanks. perfect for easter egg hunts today.

7:43 am
a.m. look at that forecasted high, 75 degrees with plenty of sunshine for you to enjoy any plans that you have to finish off this weekend. 66 in san francisco. but a lot of 70s on the board, especially as you make your way inland. that's the high pressure for you. 77 in morgan hill today. and this will continue as we go on into the day tomorrow, with just a touch cooler along the coastline. santa cruz and the east bayshoreline, we have a couple of weather systems moving around. notice here on our hour by hour outlook, high pressure is keeping conditions here calm, but pushing the storm system up towards the your rika area and into oregon. this will cause low snow levels in the mountains and bringing up the wind speeds. monday night, we could see cooler conditions along the coastline with some drizzle as you make your way to bed and out
7:44 am
the door on tuesday morning. but nothing in the way as far as rain. just cooler conditions once we get past this very warm day. tuesday morning, if you are driving along the coastline or over any bay area bridges, winds gusting from 20 to 25 miles per hour. so do not pack away those windbreakers, those jackets just yet. as we go into tuesday afternoon, maybe you're headed out for a walk to shake out anything from the day. we'll see the gusty winds. look at this, livermore, concord and down here in san jose, 20-mile-an-hour winds. beyond that, we could see the warm weather return. walnut creek, we are seeing that pleasant weather continue on into monday. look at the dip for the middle of the week. then some models are pushing the weather to become warm again as we go into next weekend. we'll leave you with the seven-day forecast. if you want to head to town

the epa is set to announce a new goal by the biden administration. the administration wants to ensure that 67% of new cars will be all electric in nine years. "the new york times" reports. that is significantly more than biden's previous plan, which wanted half of the cars be electric. only 5.8% of all cars sold last year were electric.
7:49 am
california, meanwhile, has its own goal. by 2035, california has a plan to not sell any new gas cars, only electric. the official announcement from the biden administration is expected wednesday. governor newsom is taking his fight with so-called fight with conservative republicans to seven southern states. he's bought ads in florida and texas, celebrating the virtues of california over the red states. now, with a $10 million contribution to launch his campaign for democracy, he's delivering progressive messages to audiences throughout the south. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us. good morning. good to see you. first, i want to start off with the fact that you are not in studio with us. you are in washington, d.c. why are you there? >> well, actually, kira, i was hoping to get in on the white house easter egg hunt, but i
7:50 am
might be a little too old. i'm working on it. >> good luck with that. so what is this all about, taking out these ads in the south? >> you know, governor newsom never ceases to amaze us with the way he works. he manages to get things done. he's going on this trip, or he has been going, to these seven southern states to persuade them how good california is, how righteous we are with abortion, immigration.n. the funny thing about this, poliliticians whwho are s seeki office u usually goo too their supporteters first,t, kirara. they t try to rally them. they g go to t their o opponent. but he's going right into the lion's den, and going to these people across the south trying to convince thehem that calififa and our policies are the way to go. fascinating as it turns out. >> so why would he be doing that? does that have anything to do with potentially running for the
7:51 am
presidency in 2024 or trying to recruit people to move here? what do you think it is? >> my goodness, no, not an alterior motive. you never stop thinking about things like this, you think about things that lie ahead. he says he has zero interest running for the presidency. but if you think about it, you go through biden, harris, schumer, pelosi, people like that, and newsom is beyond them the best known nationall democrt because he's been poking his finger, so to speak, in the eyes of guys like ron desantis in florida, in greg abbott in texas. so he's trying to show people there's an alternative if the opportunity might arise. >> okay. if so to speak, but what if biden does run for re-election as is generally expected?
7:52 am
>> and here is where the magic comes in, because newsom has what we would call a win-win situation. he's going out there to praise the cause, so to speak. on the other hand, biden runs, newsom is only 55 years of age. he's a puppy compared to the national leaders. he will be 59 when it comes to the next election. so of course, we'll all look at people like kamala harris. however, if harris doesn't catch on, newsom will have something of a national organization behind him, for all of the work he's done so far and all the work he's likely to do in the next two to three years. he's smart, he's thinking ahead. no pressure here. not trying to kick anybody out. the opportunity arises, he will be someone ready to go. that's where he's really ahead of a lot of other people. >> good insight there, larry. great to see you. good luck getting into the egg hunt tomorrow.
7:53 am
>> i'm hoping. it is 7:52 right now. next, we have a quick look at our top stories, including nearly 20 police officers accused of sending racist texts. we'll tell you the immediate yotion one east bay ma
