7:01 am
cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. it was really windy for my son's big t ball grand finale game yesterday. how will today be? it will be windy in the afternoon, but for now our bay to breakers sunday. it seems like a little bit of a holiday, right? we are all off to a gorgeous start, mainly in the 50s. as you can notice, the cameras behind me, but still in some chilly 40s up into the north bay san rafael. clear skies though over the north gate mall as we go on and plan our day in san francisco. whether you're running or just going out to cheer everybody on, we know it starts off chilly, but then getting into all of that celebration will be under mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s. if you decide to hang out around the city. gorgeous view of the city skyline right there. we're going to get clear and sunny skies for everybody. sunday plans. there is so much going on. we're going to feel like summer as we go on into monday. tuesday with a bit of a cooling trend later on in the week, so i'll be back with the range and temperatures in about 15 minutes. kira. all right,
7:02 am
cynthia, thanks. sounds good. we begin right now with a bay area doctor trapped in gaza amid the escalating fighting between israel and hamas. this as some 20 american medical workers who were able to evacuate gaza, are returning home to the u.s. today in the bay's marion favreau has more on the effort to bring the doctor back to the bay. doctor haley sheikholeslami is a family medicine specialist with sutter health in san carlos. she went to gaza on a two week mission to provide medical care to families . now it's been more than three weeks, and her family says they still have no idea when she'll return. doctor haley sheikholeslami traveled thousands of miles from the bay area to help the injured in gaza . this picture was taken when she arrived there. now that sign has been destroyed. she just saw the suffering and wanted to help . the latest attack by israel shut down the rafah border into
7:03 am
egypt, restricting her planned travel out of the country and forcing the doctor to relocate to the coast. while the state department says it evacuated 20 american health care workers. the council on american islamic relations or care, says the san carlos doctor and a san francisco health care worker remained trapped in gaza. unfortunately, we were very disappointed to learn that doctor sheikholeslami and her bay area colleague were not even given the opportunity or option to evacuate. they learned about the evacuation after the fact. now, care is working with the doctors family, reaching out to the state department and congresswoman anna eshoo to reunite the doctor with her two daughters and husband in the bay area ahmad talked with his sister today and says despite the challenges, she remains focused on helping people in gaza. her main concern continues to be, you know, medical supplies are low, you know, being able to provide services
7:04 am
is difficult. he says. he still doesn't know why his sister is not returning home with the other american doctors, obviously is a level of frustration. and so far, the doctor's family says they've been given no timeline on when she might return home. in a statement from palo alto foundation medical group, where the doctor works in san carlos, her colleagues said they're also working with the white house and the state department to bring her home. marianne favro today in the bay police on a bay area college campus are investigating who wrote disturbing racist messages inside a dorm. san jose state university says someone wrote hateful, anti-black and anti-jewish notes on a dry erase board at the joe west residence hall. they were found two weeks ago, but the university sent an alert to students and staff on friday. the chief diversity officer says sdsu denounces the racist messages, saying they violate its discrimination,
7:05 am
harassment and retaliation policy. now to the man sentenced to 30 years in prison for attacking nancy pelosis husband, he is getting a chance to speak in court as we reported yesterday morning, david depape was sentenced to three decades in federal prison on friday, but prosecutors argue depape wasn't given the opportunity to speak. the law requires that a judge ask the defendant if they want to speak. during a sentencing hearing, the judge agreed with prosecutors and scheduled a new sentencing hearing for may 28th. depape still faces separate state charges. jury selection for that trial begins this week. another day of slow going on an east bay freeway, as four lanes of 680 between san ramon and pleasanton remain closed for repaving work. we have a look at the red section on the map. it's a look at the partial closure. three southbound lanes of 680 are closed between al costa boulevard and san ramon, and the
7:06 am
five 8680 interchange in pleasanton, one northbound lane also is closed. this is all part of that ongoing project to repave 680 caltech lanes is filling potholes, fixing deteriorated pavement. unlike other weekend closures, we've been reporting this one isn't a full closure. the two right lanes of southbound 680 remain open, as well as the rest of the northbound lanes, but caltrans is still recommending that drivers stay away. it does tend to get congested, and so even again, though, there are those two lanes open, three are closed. so if at all possible, please do avoid the area. alternate routes include taking 780 or highway four or highway 24. caltrans will reopen by 4 a.m. for the morning commute. san francisco mayor london breed is officially running for mayor again. breed was at multiple events yesterday, one of them a kickoff for her reelection
7:07 am
campaign. we spoke with the mayor at a car show where she spoke to us about her goals for a second term. breed tells us she will push for a fully funded police department and aimed to boost growth and recovery downtown. mayor breed also says she's working to increase access to affordable housing and transportation, to reduce homelessness and make san francisco's streets cleaner and safer. we didn't just clean up the streets for apec. we're not just cleaning up the streets for reelection campaign. we are making sure that we're doing everything we can, as we always have to lead the city to make change through challenging times. breed is running against former supervisor and appointed mayor mark farrell, a co-founder and former ceo of tipping point community, daniel lurie, as well as board of supervisors president aaron peskin and supervisor ahsha safai. as we mentioned a couple minutes ago, in less than an hour, thousands
7:08 am
of runners will take over the seven miles across san francisco for bay to breakers. we have a live look at the finish line along the great highway at ocean beach. the first elite runners will take off at eight. they're expected to cross the finish line by about 9 or 930. we also have a look at yesterday crews setting up the stage, readying it to welcome some 20,000 runners, joggers, walkers and dancers, many in fun costumes. as you likely know, bay to breakers is a city tradition. it dates back to 1912. it's upbeat, it's a lot of fun. but organizers do have to consider public safety. they say they're working with the sfpd. they have more than 200 private security guards and have multiple security checkpoints. sfpd tells us it does not have any information of any credible threats against the race. so here's the route. runners start at main and howard, aka the bay near the ferry building. they
7:09 am
cover about seven and a half miles through the city. it's a 12 k ending where the waves break, aka the breakers at the great highway. some road closures near the starting line are already in place as well as the finish line as we showed you and through the city, the race officially starts at eight. and look at this a bay area block party. the wnba is coming to the bay and if yesterday is any indication, fans are ready to cheer on the golden state valkyries. big crowds showed up for that party outside of chase center and thrive city, giving us a glimpse of the budding fan base today in the bay's alyssa goard was there and talks to a team leader about what's ahead for the brand new franchise. please send your love and make some noise for the golden state valkyrie. just days after the bay area learned the name of its new wnba team, people packed thrive city outside chase center for a block party. obviously a
7:10 am
huge fan of the warriors, and i think it's really exciting what's going on in the wnba right now. so it's the perfect timing. this is herstory in the making. exactly. herstory in the making. and this is bay area history. the team's name comes from norse mythology. the valkyries were warrior women known for being fearless. the affiliate team for the golden state warriors will be headquartered in oakland and play home games in san francisco. well, there's still a while until the valkyries start playing games right here at the chase center in 2025, but already there are hundreds of people out here who are excited and getting hyped about this team. i want to bring my niece to the game. i really want to come to the games. of course i got swag. i'm wearing half of it right now and what we've seen is they don't only like it, they love it. i mean, merchandise is flying off the shelf. valkyries president jess smith says in the near future, team leaders will talk about coaching and strategy and gear up for an expansion draft in december. for this moment in time for women's sports is culture, setting and
7:11 am
that's also defined by the people that are going to be a part of how we build this. the block party featured a lineup of bay area music icons, including rap legend e-40, the devil people, that phony water brand like that, telling people that holy water is back already. the valkyries are making their own violet colored mark and celebrating what makes the bay area so unique. alyssa goard today in the bay it's just about 711 right now. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen welker and a look at an important discussion with a team usa olympic champion who hopes to help the average american

7:14 am
stepping out, discussing issues they faced with pressure, stress and mental health. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi kristen, as always, great to see you this morning. you got the chance to sit down with olympic champion swimmer michael phelps. he's won 28 medals, 23 of them gold. arguably, though, phelps was the first elite athlete to really come out and talk about his mental health struggles. whereas, you know, from the outside, we can look at him and say he has money, he has fame, he has gold medals, he has a family. what what's his hope in continuing to talk about this is he does he want to normalize not being okay to an everyday american? well, kyra, i so appreciate the question. and you're absolutely right. that is one one of his big goals. he wants people to know that if you are struggling with mental health of any kind, to reach out to family, to reach out to friends, that there is hope. i
7:15 am
mean, his message is one of hope. he also has a very strong message. kira here we are less than 100 days before the olympics, a very strong message to the olympic committee. he wants them to do more to support their athletes. he wants there to be more resources. he acknowledges that there have been some improvements made since he was an olympian, but he says it just doesn't go far enough that there is too much focus on the sports, on the game, on winning and not enough focus on supporting the mental health of the athletes who perform on the world's biggest stage. it is just an honor to talk to him. he's the world's most decorated olympian, to see him be very vulnerable, to give this message, to share really details about his own struggle is just an extraordinary conversation and his hope against the backdrop of mental health awareness month is that he will reach people he will encourage people to get the help that they need. kyra, it's so
7:16 am
inspiring for the rest of us to know that it's okay to not be okay. and christian before we let you go, i just want to say a big, heartfelt congratulations on your baby news. we are all so happy for you. sending big love. thanks for joining. thank you so much. that means the world of course. thank you. great to see you and we hope you join kristen for this morning's meet the press. actually i'm so sorry. my brain is all wrapped up. we showed it at 6 a.m. this morning because we have premier league soccer at 8 a.m. after our newscast, so if you missed it, don't worry, you can watch the full episode online or on our streaming services. it's a really good episode and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at the reputation of the supreme court and whether a recent incident with that upside down flag at judge alito's home will affect their approval. turning now to disneyland character actors, they have
7:17 am
voted to unionize the employees who portray costumed characters like mickey mouse, cinderella, have voted to join the actors equity association. that happened yesterday. that means more than 1700 disneyland employees are now part of that union. organizers say the goal is to create a healthier and safer work environment for the actors. the walt disney company has not yet commented on that vote. back here in northern california, a wild police chase in sacramento after someone stole one of the fire department's pickup trucks. investigators say a thief took off with the pickup yesterday while it was parked at a fire station. after officers and a police helicopter spotted the truck, they laid down spike strips to stop that driver, but the driver refused to get out, so they had to toss pepper balls into the truck to get him out and arrest him. a portion of highway one in big sur is back
7:18 am
open. you'll remember that back in march, a storm caused part of the highway south of rocky creek bridge to crumble into the ocean. people who lived there were the only ones allowed to enter and leave through daily convoys, as many nearby businesses were forced to close. caltrans has since reopened the highway with a temporary solution. i believe we told you about this also yesterday morning. it's a signal light that allows drivers to pass through in one direction at any point of the day or night, without people leading you in and out, a local restaurant owner tells us he's now expecting a surge in visitors. we've had an immediate response from our guests wanting to come and see big sur and visit the various properties, and just enjoy the coast. meanwhile, caltrans is also working on that slide damage farther south on the other side of big sur from southern california, it says it hopes to reopen all of the highway highway one, by this fall. happening today
7:19 am
celebrating 150 years of service , the city of mountain view fire department is inviting the community to come celebrate with them. it's holding a celebration today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown mountain view at the civic center plaza. there will be a parade featuring vintage fire trucks like the ones you just saw and more. that starts at 1230. you can also check out an inflatable firehouse and meet sparky, the dalmatian ana. sepulveda oh wow. and these are some sights and sounds from this year's himalayan fair in the east bay. it's been a berkeley tradition for 41 years, drawing together community members from tibet, nepal, india, bhutan and pakistan. the annual festival at live oak park not only showcases a variety of dancers and performers you just saw, but displays food vendors, arts and crafts. some of the money raised
7:20 am
goes to support charities in the himalayan region. looked like a nice day out there. a little chilly though. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our sunday forecast. i know the temperatures are nice and comfortable, but then it's the wind where you're like, if the wind was in here, it would be a perfect day. but what a beautiful and colorful celebration out there. we have one more day of the himalayan fair out there in berkeley. everybody is starting to get into those clear skies. look outside your window. enjoy this beautiful time of the morning before we get busy with a lot of events. we'll go into the mid 60s there in berkeley this afternoon and down here through mountain view for the 150th anniversary of the fire department. that kicks off at 1230. and we're going to see beautiful skies, temperatures in those low 70s. and then the breeze will kind of kick up into the afternoon. if you're looking for more of that summer feeling going out to the county fairs, it's your last day to get out to antioch for the cocoa county fair, and temperatures there are going to be much warmer into the 80s this afternoon, with the
7:21 am
breeze picking up, so that should cool things down for our inland valleys. our natural ac temperatures for everybody else will do 60s in half moon bay, 71 in hayward. and as we go on into santa rosa, over on into fairfield, that's where we're trying to get to that 80 degree mark. but not quite. we are going to get into some more substantial warming as we go on into monday and tuesday. again, you're going to feel those wind speeds as we go on into this afternoon, mainly around the bodega bay point reyes coastline through san francisco, breezy along the peninsula, and i think this will continue, but not as windy as we start to build that ridge of high pressure, which is going to be a little short lived. we're going to have fewer days of that warming compared to the last couple of weeks where we've carried it through through the week. as we go on into our monday and tuesday here, we go. 69 in san francisco, 75 in hayward. so we're starting to get into those 70s and 80s as we go on into our inland valleys. we'll do 82 in vacaville and 78 in los gatos. i think tuesday will be the warmest day. it's where you see those gorgeous skies. you feel the warmth, and
7:22 am
you already want to leap into summer, but you got to go to work. here are our temperatures. we'll do low 70s in downtown san francisco, so we're talking 70s in the city. you know it's going to be warm just about everywhere else. really getting into those mid 80s for our inland valley. so if that's too hot for you, make sure you prepare and make sure you give yourself plenty of shade and comfortable conditions. the water, everything, the sunscreen. we'll even carry it on into our wednesday a little bit. but that sea breeze boost is going to bring temperatures down and further as we go on into thursday and friday. notice the change in the contours here. we're going to get a windy condition thursday and friday. saturday also, we're looking at all of this green out here, which could potentially bring just a little bit of light rain into the bay area. but the models keep on breaking it apart. overall, san francisco stays nice and dry seasonable through the week. in the 60s, maybe a few low 70s, and our inland valleys. we'll see a range in temperatures 70s, 80s and then going into next weekend with temperatures coming back
7:23 am

out of that cloud cover. and by two this afternoon, once the race is all done and you're hanging in the city, 64 degrees, just the kind of weather that makes you say the bay area is the most gorgeous place on earth. i see mostly 70s for our inland valleys, cooler and a bit breezy out there towards the coast, but we do have a more summer-like pattern returning for the start of the workweek. i'll be back with the range and temperatures coming up in about ten minutes. kyra. all right. cynthia, thanks. we begin with a doctor from the bay area hoping to help those in need in gaza. she's now stuck there amid the escalating fighting between hamas and israeli forces. this as 20 other american medical workers were able to evacuate from gaza. and they are returning to the u.s. doctor haleh sheikholeslami traveled thousands of miles from the bay area to help the injured in gaza. the latest attack by israel shut down the rafah border into egypt, restricting her planned travel out of the country and forcing the doctor
7:32 am
to relocate to the coast. the council on american islamic relations, or care, says the san carlos based doctor, and another san francisco health care worker. both remain trapped in gaza, but they are working with state leaders and their own families to help get them home. unfortunately, we were very disappointed to learn that doctor sheikholeslami and her bay area colleague were not even given the opportunity or option to evacuate. they learned about the evacuation after the fact. her main concern continues to be, you know, medical supplies are low. you know, being able to provide services is difficult. the doctor's family tells us they have been given no timeline on when she might be able to return home to the bay area, turning to a joyful day for thousands of graduating students at sonoma state university. lots
7:33 am
of proud parents, friends and relatives cheering them on at their commencement for the class of 2024. this comes after a tense and controversial week of pro-palestinian protests on campus. there, as a precaution, security was tight, with police officers and sheriff's deputies standing nearby. as we've been reporting, that graduation comes after the csu chancellor announced this week that university president mike lee is retiring. while that happened after lee was placed on administrative leave wednesday following his response to those student protesters, lee had declared an agreement with the protesters, including a pledge to divest from israel. but the chancellor says lee offered concessions that csu trustees never approved. president biden faces another major political test when he delivers the commencement speech today at
7:34 am
morehouse college. biden's address comes on the heels of nationwide protests, of course, against the war in gaza, and we are seeing students energized and showing up in droves to voice their discontent with the administration's response. nbc's brie jackson spoke with young voters from three different schools about issues including the israel-hamas war and how that could impact voter turnout. in november. oh from clashes on college campuses to students walking out on commencement speakers, we've seen young people voice their frustrations nationwide in less than a mile from the white house, george washington university became a focal point for those speaking out against the war in gaza. i don't believe i'm interested in being complicit in genocide anymore. others say protest, even peaceful ones, are not the solution. i don't believe that's a productive activity in my opinion. i think there are better ways to go about, change
7:35 am
across the country. college age voters are demanding change. much of the focus is on foreign policy and their displeasure with president biden's support for israel. that's a sentiment we also heard at morgan state university, a historically black college in baltimore, maryland. they're actively funding something that's taking away people's lives. so i, me personally, i just can't get behind it. safety is also top of mind, ranging from fears about gun violence. i've been doing school shooter drills since the second grade. two political threats. i don't think trump is safe for democracy. election interest typically lags among younger voters. a recent nbc news poll found that this year, interest has plummeted to a historically low level, with just 36% of people 18 to 34 rating themselves as highly interested in the presidential
7:36 am
election. that's down from 56% in 2020. students at george mason university in virginia have mixed feelings about voter enthusiasm. if things are the way they are currently with the current administration, i wouldn't be shocked if a lot of students just don't care or don't vote. i think as the election gets closer, students will be more engaged to get their voices hard. younger people believe they have the collective power to make a difference in the november election. at the end of the day, we just need to understand who we're putting in office and what policies we're voting into. young voters are what we need right now to see the change in the country that we want. many eager to turn conversations and protest about policy into action in washington, brie jackson enbe news meanwhile, former president donald trump is urging gun owners to get out and vote in this november's presidential election. he made those remarks
7:37 am
yesterday at the national rifle association convention in dallas, where he was officially endorsed for president by the nra. trump says the second amendment is on the ballot and claimed that if biden gets four more years in the white house, he's coming for their guns. meanwhile, the former lawyer for the former president was just served with indictment papers. rudy giuliani received that notice yesterday during his 80th birthday party celebration in palm beach, florida. the indictment surrounds his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in arizona. it came about one hour after giuliani was on social media making taunting posts towards arizona's democratic attorney general, kris mayes. mayes responded after the notice was given, saying, quote, nobody is above the law. a spokesperson for giuliani said the former new york city mayor was, quote, unperturbed by the birthday bash. bust up back here in the
7:38 am
bay area, farm workers in the north bay are demanding higher wages. hundreds of them picketed yesterday in downtown healdsburg. that rally was held at the same time as a local wine tasting event. workers tell us their wages have remained stagnant as the cost of living continues to climb and wineries profit grow as well. meanwhile, the sonoma county wine growers say that's just not true. in a statement, the organization told us in part over the past six years, vineyard employees have gotten a 35% increase in hourly wages, adding more than 40% of vineyard employees in sonoma county also receive employee housing. back to another day of slow going on an east bay freeway, as four lanes of 680 between san ramon and pleasanton remain closed for repaving work. we have a look at that red section. it's a partial closure. three southbound lanes of 680 are closed between al costa boulevard and san ramon, and the
7:39 am
five 8680 interchange in pleasanton. only one northbound lane is closed. it's all part of that ongoing project to repave 680 caltrans filling potholes and fixing deteriorated pavement. unlike other weekend closures we've seen, this one isn't a full closure. the two right lanes of southbound 680 remain open, but caltrans is still recommending that drivers stay away. alternate routes include taking 780 highway for highway 24, caltrans will reopen 680 by 4 a.m. tomorrow for the morning commute. and as we've been talking about just about 20 minutes from now, thousands of runners will take over the seven mile stretch across san francisco for bay to breakers. we want to take you back out to that live look. looks chilly and windy at the finish line along the great highway at ocean beach, but good to cool off after a 12 k run. the first elite runners are expected to cross that finish line by just about 9 or 9:30 a.m. we also
7:40 am
have a look at yesterday. crews are already setting up those road closures. the stage out there on ocean beach to welcome some 20,000 runners, joggers, walkers and dancers, many in fun costumes. beta breakers a city tradition. did you know it dates back to 1912? it's upbeat. it's a lot of fun. but organizers do have to consider public safety. they tell us they're working with the sfpd. they have more than 200 private security guards and they have multiple security checkpoints. as sfpd tells us, it does not have any information on any credible threats against the race. so here's a look at that route straight through the city. runners start at the bay, main and howard. they cover seven and a half miles through the city, ending at the breakers at the great highway. some road closures are already in place. actually, all of them should already be in place. the race starts at 8 a.m. we are moving

7:43 am
sunny and bright conditions are ready to start the day down here in san jose. so what are our temperatures going to look like for today? as you make those plans? by the middle of the day, we're going to stick with the 60s out towards the shore. 63 in san mateo will do 67 out in moraga and start to get into those 70s in places like fairfield, up into clear lake and down through los gatos. by the afternoon, we will see slightly warmer temperatures than what we were feeling yesterday. but again, it's that pesky wind that does not leave the bay area mainly out towards the coastline around 15 to 35 miles an hour, but it should

start to trickle on in inland as we go on and take a look at sunset at 817 temperatures, mainly in the 70s for our inland valleys. the place to start off our hiking will be out in mill valley, out towards marin. temperatures will hover around the upper 60s. i think right now is the best time to get out there, and then the wind will pick up later on this afternoon. maybe you want to come down here into campbell for the boogie music festival. day two runs 10 to 5 and we're going to be under sunny skies, temperatures mid mid to upper 70s. so make sure that you're drinking plenty of water and wearing all those beautiful sun hats i mentioned at the 730 mark that we're going to be in for a warmer couple of days here as we start our workweek by tomorrow. some places creeping up into the 80s like concord, fairfield at 8379, in santa rosa, 70 bayshore, and some comfortable 60s out towards the water. but by tuesday, here's where we transition into a more summerlike pattern, where temperatures whoa. nearing that 90 degree mark in fairfield 87 will do it for their wine
7:45 am
country. 82 nice and warm, with also 81 down through san jose, morgan hill and san martin. nice 70s out towards san mateo and san francisco. should be in for a very nice day as well, but that's about all we get for the summer-like temperatures as we go on into look into the next 6 to 10 days second half of the week notice that contour will go into some cooler temperatures, slightly cooler than what's normal for this time of year. while the south just continues to bake in some very hot temperatures. so that will do our 7-day forecast like this 70s to some 80s, and then back down into those low 70s and maybe some upper 60s. by the time that we get into next weekend, mix it in there with some cloud cover as well. san francisco will stay nice and cozy over the next couple of days, but then see those cooler numbers down into all right cynthia,and saturday.

5 million solar installations, and we can take particular pride in that number. that's because 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, the bay area was open to the idea early on. here's the head of the solar energy industries association, the asia, which was established in 1974. 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. hoppers is urging voters to pressure our leaders to update the grid in order to support renewable energy in california, be sure to tune in to today in

the bay. on tuesday morning, meteorologist kari hall is shining a light on the ups and downs that property owners face when using solar panels, getting them installed. for more stories like this, go to our website, nbcbayarea.com and check out our climate in crisis page. okay. turning now to the us supreme court's status as an independent decision making body may be at risk. this after a photo emerged of an upside down american flag at the home of justice samuel alito. the photo was taken in early 2021, following the january 6th insurrection, and it has ethics experts concerned that the upside down flag shows that the judge endorsed the capitol rioters. with that display. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here. hi, larry. as always, great to see you. good morning. how serious do you think this is? well, look, it's hard to know that. the interesting thing is employees, court employees are
7:50 am
barred from any kind of partizan showing about anything. a district court judges. same thing. appellate court judges, same thing. there are no ethics rules for supreme court justices. none whatsoever. so you get to this flag deal, the upside down flag and it gets disconcerting. of course, alito is saying he had nothing to do with it. justice alito, i should say. rather, it was his wife who put up the flag. so there you have it, right. so if his wife did it, do you think this is an overreaction? there are many homes divided in politics, in sports and what have you. so what do you think about this? what you have in your home and what i have in my home is different from what justice alito has in his home. he needs to know what's going on with his flagpole and everything else in terms of what goes on. ethically speaking, justices are in a tough spot here. you know, as it is, justice alito took a position that others didn't when
7:51 am
a very important case regarding the election came up and he wanted to hear it, it had to do with this kind of issue. and the others said, no, leave it alone. this is a tough one. and it all has to do with these election deniers. you showed that flag. that flag is a powerful symbol. kira so powerful that it takes us all back to that terrible day. january 6th, 2020 2021. right. and so do you think this is symbolic of something bigger for the supreme court as a as an entity? that's the big question. and that's what has a lot of people concerned. we saw a recent survey just a couple of days ago taken by cnn. it looks at how peopleeel about the supreme court. take a look. this is over four years. four years ago, 60% had aavorle opinion about the supreme court. 40% did not. today it's thoppote. that's very important when you talk about a supreme court issues like these and s lack of support, it's really
7:52 am
important. and when you break it down, when you break it down 27, reblicans, 57, 28% of, 28% of independents. excuse me, 57% of republicans. look at those differences. they're stark. only a quarter of democrats and independents, that's three fourths of the country, basically feel that the court's in trouble. that's not good. that's not good at all. moving forward, what do you think we can expect? right. you know, you have the legislative branch. you have the executive branch. we know these are partizan. we understand that. that's why they duke things out. the court has to be nonpartisan in the court, has to make it appear as if they are looking at every issue for what it means constitutionally, anytime the court steers, one way or the other, it's in trouble. and so is the united states in terms of a country and its institutions. this has to be dealt with, and we hope that in some way or another, perhaps the court will adopt some ethics rules. maybe congress will impose it. but something to keep
7:53 am
the court clean. yeah. neutral. all right. larry as always, thanks for that. we appreciate you. 752 right now, up next, we have a quick look at the top stories we're following, including a new twist in the legal saga for paul pelosi's convicted attacker, an unusual request prosecutors
7:54 am
7:55 am
morning, including the man sentenced to 30 years in prison
7:56 am
for attacking nancy pelosis husband is getting a chance to speak in court. as we reported yesterday morning, david depape was sentenced to three decades in federal prison. but prosecutors argue depape wasnt given the opportunity to speak. law requires that a judge ask if the defendant wants to speak. during a sentencing hearing, the judge agreed with prosecutors and scheduled a new sentencing hearing for may 28th. and a reminder for drivers in the east bay, a stretch of 680 is partially closed until early tomorrow morning. here's a look at the two mile stretch along this red section. three southbound lanes of 680 are closed between al costa boulevard in san ramon and the six 8580 interchange in pleasanton. one northbound lane also is closed. it's all part of that ongoing repaving project. caltrans filling potholes, fixing deteriorated pavement. unlike other weekend closures we've been reporting on, this
7:57 am
isn't a full closure. two right lanes of southbound 680 are open, and the three northbound lanes. alternate routes include taking 780 highway four or highway 24. caltrans will reopen all of 680 by 4 a.m. tomorrow morning for the morning commute, and we are minutes away from the start of san francisco's annual bay to breakers race. that's a look at a previous starting line , and we are at the finish line. well, final preparations are complete. 20,000 runners will race through the city, some in costumes. lots of fun. the seven mile course begins near the ferry building and the financial district ends in ocean beach, seven miles across the city. the first wave of runners will take off in three minutes, so let's check in with cynthia one last time before we go. and that short seven mile stretch. you really see the progression of the microclimates of course. ocean beach always breezy and a bit chilly, but overall temperatures should climb into the upper 60s and then we'll see
7:58 am
a mild day monday, tuesday before things start to cool down in similar pattern for our inland valleys 70 to 80 by tuesday, but then a bit cooler as we transition to the weekend. yeah, and it's always nice to take a break. i think they call it heartbreak hill or something near alamo square park and it's like sunny, so that's nice. very fitting. all right, cynthia, thanks to you and thanks to you for making us a part of your morning. we'll have more local news for you tonight at five, six and 11. we are always on at nbcbayarea.com. good luck to all the runners. we hope to see you right back here next wkendee
