his fate in the federal case against him. good morning. thanks for joining us for our midday newscast. i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we begin with that breaking

news. our ginger conejero saab was inside the courtroom as the judge made his decision against david depape. she joins us live outside right now. and ginger, this marks the end of a year and a half court battle for his federal case. that is correct. laura and marcus. and this all happened literally just moments ago, probably within the last 15 or maybe even ten minutes ago. the judge handed down his sentence for david depape, the man who is convicted of attacking paul pelosi. she handed down the sentence of 30 years in prison. now there are two counts that david depape was charged with in this federal case. one is for attempted kidnaping that the judge gave him a 20 year sentence. and there's a second count that was an assault on a family member of a federal official. he was sentenced to 30 years on that count. now, both of those sentences will be served concurrently, which is why he will serve 30 years in prison. a big question for the judge this morning was how will david depapes mental state play a role

in his sentencing? prosecutors made the case saying it was necessary to keep depape away from the public for as long as possible. we're showing you some body cam footage that was released from the attack and this is why prosecutors are asking or we're asking i should say for 40 years that had an enhancement of terrorism. that was a longer sentence than what is usually recommended by the u.s. probation office. defense attorneys, however, for depape this morning were making the case that depape has not had any prior record they were requesting for 14 years. they believe that that amount was significant. also they made the case that this was not a murder case and he should not get the same sentence sentencing as it was now. another really telling part of this morning was the daughter of nancy pelosi and paul pelosi. read the victim impact statements from both her parents. really talking about how in the last year and a half, their family has felt the impact of what has happened. the harm

has continued in their family. paul pelosi still feeling the effects of his injuries from that night. and we are just now seeing the prosecutors in this case. i'll turn you over to that . we have a statement from ismail ramsey. he is the us attorney for the northern district of california for you can spell his name. ismail ramsey. ramsey also with us today is sergio lopez. he is the acting assistant, agent in charge of the fbi. shortly after this, i, we will be posting a message directly from the us attorney, please feel free to use it, it would be great, actually, if we could get in the habit of him when he's not actually available. just being able to post it, and you can just pull it right off the

website. no problem with doing that public document, and that would be preferable. so from mr. ramsey, today's sentence reflects david depapes lack of remorse and contrition for violently assaulting mr. pelosi. the court's sentence will ensure that the pop will not be able to use violence to pollute the political process. robust passionate political debate is appropriate and often necessary in our democracy. but today's sentence is a stern reminder that political discourse must never transform into violence. this office will not tolerate violence as a substitute for political discourse. we want to thank the fbi, the san francisco police department, the us capitol police and the members of the prosecution team,

particularly laura vartanian and helen gilbert, for bringing this matter to a swift and decisive conclusion. we hope that this conclusion of the federal case brings a measure of healing to the pelosi family. so with that, sergio lopez, thank you. the brutal attack on paul pelosi in his home was not only an attack on an individual, but an assault on the very principles and safety and civility that formed the bedrock of our democracy, public servants and indeed all citizens deserve to work and live without threats of violence or of intimidation. today's sentencing of david depape to a significant prison term sends a clear message that violence and intimidation have no place in our community or our political discourse. the attack, fueled by

misguided ideology, underscores the dangers posed by extremist beliefs. the fbi is committed to protecting all citizens and ensuring that our democracy remains strong and resilient against those who seek to harm it. we stand by the pelosi family and all victims of violence, and we will continue to work tirelessly to uphold the values of justice and peace in our society. thank you. i'm listening to thank you again. we'll have a press release out in another few minutes. all the statements after david depape has been sentenced to 30 years. this is the attacker in the paul pelosi case. the husband of former speaker nancy pelosi. this is in the federal case. there's also going to be a state case against david depape, where he is also charged with attempted murder and assault for so far for that, he has pleaded not guilty. we'll continue to follow any other developments this morning. a lot of breaking news that we're actually getting to also breaking the president

of sonoma state university, announcing his retirement this comes just days after being suspended. it all started with a controversial statement after the school reached an agreement with pro-palestinian protesters. csu chancellor mildred garcia says mike lee offered concessions. cal state trustees never approved, including divestment strategies and ending academic relations with israeli schools. in a statement, garcia says in part, i thank president lee for his years of service to the california state university, starting at california state university, sacramento, and to higher education overall. i wish him and his family well. it's not clear who will replace him now. breaking overseas a grim recovery in the middle east. israeli forces in gaza have recovered the bodies of three hostages killed by hamas attackers following a music festival on october seventh. in the meantime, trucks carrying humanitarian aid began moving ashore into gaza. today, using a temporary pier built by the u.s,

those trucks are delivering desperately needed supplies. local health officials say more than 35,000 people have been killed in gaza since the war began. well, closer to home, some pro-palestinian protesters are facing charges after they were arrested for illegally taking over a building owned by uc berkeley. nbc bay area's kris sanchez shows us the tents, ending with law enforcement at miramar park. all quiet now here at this property, which is owned by uc berkeley, you can see some of the graffiti remaining, and there is a heavy security presence to make sure that protesters don't come back within 24 hours of taking over the abandoned building owned by uc berkeley, berkeley police and other agencies shut down the streets nearby and moved in to arrest those 12 protester. they now face charges, including burglary, vandalism and conspiracy. berkeley police say they violently resisted arrest, hitting officers with crowbars in the head. the officers were wearing helmets and were uninjured, according to the university. only one of the 12

is a student. the arrests come just days after the on campus tent protest disbanded after the student protesters and uc berkeley officials reached an agreement. we talked with a berkeley man who lives nearby who thinks this is not over yet. i think people are just the pro-palestinian protesters are just fed up at this point after for that many months. so they really want to just go all out. so it's just going to be might be a chaotic summer. he may be right. as those protesters were arrested, they were chanting, we'll be back in berkeley. kris sanchez nbc, bay area news just in. the mayor of antioch is headed to china with a mission. mayor lamar thorpe will take off this sunday. he's spending a week in china meeting with government and business leaders. the goal is to create more business and tourism opportunities between silicon valley and china. the mayor will also talk about some of antioch's ongoing projects. the trip is organized by a nonprofit called china silicon valley. in the meantime, san francisco

mayor london breed just returned from china last month. you'll recall her push to bring new pandas to san francisco. however she just took a big hit. a supervisors committee yesterday shot down her fundraising plans. it called for $25 million to be raised to host the animals once they were brought here from china. committee members voted to postpone the request, reportedly calling it a distraction in light of more urgent funding issues. some good news if you're planning a getaway down the coast, all of highway one through big sur is open once again this morning. this is after storms in late march triggered slides and forced closures lasting weeks. the reopening also comes a little earlier than expected. the initial projections that is now for the past two months, locals they were relying on the convoys twice a day to get into and out of that area. during the repair, we had a crane sitting in the northbound lane, and so we were only able to offer travel twice a day at convoy times. but now that that repair has been completed and people can come through any time of the

day, there's a sensor in the roadway where the camera back up that will allow travelers to have a very short wait. we urge patients because it is a new traffic configuration and just are so happy that we're able to open it up 24 hours. be aware if you're heading farther south, an unrelated closure in the town of lucia remains intact, with no reopening date set. dog was wondering what was going on. let's take a live look outside, overlooking san jose in the south bay today. looks like the sun shining upon the biggest city in the bay area this morning, carrie. and it looks nice. it's also feeling nice outside too. it's been great to have the comfortable temperatures and we're going to help you make some weekend plans. take a look at our forecast for big sur. if you do plan that, drive down pacific coast highway, you're going to see a temperatures only up to about the upper 50s low 60s. it will be slightly warmer on sunday and that could mean just a little bit more sunshine. but as we saw with this live view in

san jose, we're enjoying some warmer temperatures and some of our valleys. we're headed up to 77 for today and 77 for concord, as well as santa rosa. and then along the coast will stay in the low 60s. we'll talk about some more events going on around the bay area and the forecast coming up in a few minutes. sounds good. thanks, carrie. well, a war of words on capitol hill over physical appearance coming up here on nbc bay area, our scott mcgrew explained the congressional chaos. plus, we're moving you forward into a new energy landscape. but designing specifically for renewables. coming up next on today in the bay, the work solar experts are continuously working on as california and the nation hit a major milestone in solar power. and as we head to break a reminder, the giants take on the rockies tonight, don't miss the start of a three game series at oracle park. watch it at 7 p.m. right here on nbc. bay area.

didn't had with special counsel robert her and now there's an argument over that argument. scott mcgrew walks us through. so the broader argument is whether americans should get to listen to audio of that conversation recorded by the special counsel during his investigation into documents in biden's possession, found after he was vice president. it's pretty clear the republicans pushing for the audio release want us to hear it, because her described biden at the time as being confused and unable to remember details, as we know that because those details were in his special report. we know that because those details were in the written transcripts of the conversations, we know that because her testified before congress back in march,

thursday, a house committee voted to find attorney general merrick garland in contempt for not turning over the audio of the interview. and it was at these meetings that the personal attacks started, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene started making fun of another congresswoman's eyelashes. you'll hear the members talking. not always is the person in charge of changing the camera angle able to follow along? oh, goldman. that's right. he's advising. okay. he's advising who? what do you do? you know what we're here for? you know we're here about i don't think you know what you're here for. well you don't want talking about. i think you're fake eyelashes are messing up. ain't nothing. hold on, hold on. listen order, mister chairman. beneath even order now, because personal ad hominem attacks are not allowed on the congressional

floor. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez asked that they be stricken from the record. i do have a point of order, and i would like to move to take down miss greene's words. that is absolutely unacceptable. how dare you attack the physical appearance of another person? are your feelings hurt? her words down. 000 girl, baby girl. oh really? don't even play baby girl i don't think we are going to move and we're going to take your words down. i second that motion. now. the head of the committee, republican james comer, ruled greene's comments about the eyelashes were not against the rules governing attacks on fellow lawmakers. the target of the eyelash insult, congresswoman jasmine crockett, then responded with her own comment about greene's body and hair. greene eventually allowed her comments to be stricken from the record, but did not apologize. back to you. all right, well, moving things

along, i want you to lace up your running shoes, grab your best costume, because san francisco is holding its annual bay breakers race sunday. this is a seven mile course beginning near the ferry building in the financial district, ending at ocean's beach. now there are some road closures to tell you about, including by the finish line that's starting today. closures near the start line that's 7 p.m. tomorrow. all the other race related closures are going to take effect at 6 a.m. on sunday. something else happening this weekend definitely worthy of celebration. it is carrie hall's nine year work anniversary. we love having her a member of today in the bay. thank you. yeah, over the years. oh my goodness, so much has happened. yes. no kidding. yeah. it's brought babies into the world. sure did. big difference here. it's great having you on the team. and it's nice that you get to celebrate your work anniversary with a nice weekend. yes, i'm going to make sure that the weather stays great, that i can just relax and take it all in. we'll all celebrate. all

right. we're going to have some nice weather. whether you're doing beta breakers or you're going to some of the fairs and some of the other events going on. so we're going to have a wrap up of some of the things happening on sunday. we're going to start out with temperatures in the low 50s. it's going to be chilly. and you know how it gets with the low clouds. the mist and the drizzle. it's probably going to start out feeling cold. but for those runners it's going to be perfect. and then we'll make our way into some more sunshine going into the afternoon. as far as temperatures, we're in the mid 60s for today and there will still be a wide range in temperatures as you go across the bay area. if you're in san jose, it's going to be 77. you head up to san mateo. it will be 66 or 68 degrees there and 62 in half moon bay. and this is the kind of weather we see on repeat, not only tomorrow, but saturday into sunday as well as monday. we're going to continue to see more of these same temperatures. really cool air tonight out there for the giants game at oracle park. yes, we

have some great baseball weather. so san francisco you know so iconic. there with the fog and also the chilly temperatures feeling like winter out there. but we will have some warmer weather for the bay fc game tonight in san jose. and it's going to go from low 70s to low 60s. so still pretty comfortable. and we'll also have the kickoff party for the valkyries. now this will be at chase center tomorrow. beautiful weather sunshine. we're going to welcome in the new team with some absolutely amazing conditions out there. and then if you want the warmer weather, you can head to antioch and enjoy the contra costa county fair. our temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s and lots of sunshine all throughout the weekend. our 7-day forecast shows that once again, we're not seeing any major changes here. temperatures and some of our warmer spots inland will be in the mid to upper 70s and just a little bit warmer for the middle of next week, and for san francisco, we'll see temperatures in the low to mid 60s starting out at about 50

degrees each day. some clouds and some peeks of sunshine for a few hours during the afternoon. and now let's turn to cinthia pimentel with how solar energy is helping move the bay area forward. and the nation too. yeah, that's right, kerry. the u.s. has just hit 5 million solar installations, and we can take particular pride in that number. california has the most solar capacity out of any state, and san francisco has the most solar jobs of anywhere because so many companies originated here. and the bay area was open to the idea early on. just last year, the electricity generated from homes or community centers accounted for around 41% of the state's total solar generated electricity. here's the head of the solar energy industries association with more on this milestone. so we installed one, our first 1 in 1973, and then we took 40 years to get to a million, and we only took eight years to go from 1 million to 5

million. and so it's representative and indicative of just the rapid growth of solar in this country. he she says that to keep moving forward, we need to put pressure on our leaders to update the grid to support renewable energy. and california needs to pair solar with storage. now, make sure to turn tune in to our morning show on tuesday today in the bay right here with meteorologist kerry hall. she will be shining a light on the ups and downs that property owners face with solar panels. and for more stories like these, you can always go to our website, nbcbayarea.com and click on our climate and crisis page. back to you. all right. thanks, cynthia. happening now warriors star steph curry purchased a two story building in san francisco. this is at the corner of 20th and illinois streets in the dogpatch neighborhood. now, according to the chronicle, that property is within walking distance of chase center. it cost curry $8.5 million. he is looking to redevelop that building to serve as the new headquarters for 30 inc, which is his off court business

enterprise. before we go to a break, we want to check in with senior investigative reporter bigad shaban. good morning. we're talking about laws that were put in place to protect some of our most vulnerable that are now leaving renters and landlords in an almost impossible situation. we take you to oakland, where we introduce you to 80 year old zeta flowers, who tells us her at home daycare business was all but decimated by the pandemic. and you might remember during covid 19, there was actually an eviction moratorium put in place in oakland and several other major cities, all throughout california, that prohibited landlords from kicking out tenants unable to pay their rent. well that moratorium has since expired in oakland, and so now landlords are legally allowed to begin demanding up to a year's worth of back rent. that's what zeta flowers was facing when she received her eviction notice. we're going to tell you what happened to her and lay out the options for renters and landlords. that's all in our story. you can watch right now at nbcbayarea.com. amid allegations
