4:00 pm
. test our limits. phil yang i get it. we'll see you tomorrow two pedestrians hit, including a 14 year old girl walking to school from ktvu. >> fox two news this is the four and police arrested that hit and run driver. >> welcome everyone to the four this afternoon. i'm heather holmes and i'm alex savage. >> police are telling us this afternoon both of the victims struck by this car today are expected to survive. ktvu is christian. captain has been following this developing story for us all throughout the afternoon. he joins us now from market and jones and christian. that's where all of this began with a car that hit a man and then took off. >> yeah, that's right, a shocking story. and as you said, very good news that both victims here are expected to survive this incident. now, we have been
4:01 pm
following this story all day long, and it begins here, where that driver first hit an urban alchemy worker. you can see some of the burnout here. police tell us that that driver of the white mustang was actually pulling donuts in the intersection at the time when he hit that urban alchemy worker. police say that that same driver then went on to hit that 14 year old girl near her school about an hour and a half later. now a wild chase with two hit and runs ended with a collision at embarcadero and green. but san francisco police say the story started at the intersection of jones and market at around 750 this morning. police say a driver in a white mustang was spinning donuts and collided with a worker from urban alchemy, then took off. now police responded to this scene here and say the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. investigators also say that a witness was able to provide a detailed information about that white mustang, including we hear a plate number, police say that those officers then were able to
4:02 pm
locate that mustang, match it to the description of this hit and run. but instead of stopping when those officers tried to pull him over the driver sped off with the officers in pursuit. that pursuit led to francisco middle school, where the driver of the mustang hit that 14 year old girl crossing the sidewalk, crossing in the crosswalk. the pursuing officers then stopped to help that girl. that girl also taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. officers say continuing the pursuit at that point and chasing that mustang was too dangerous, the driver too erratic and too careless based on the fact that the individual fled the scene after hitting a pedestrian and continued to drive recklessly and failed to stop at another vehicle collision involving a juvenile pedestrian, he posed a risk to the public. now, officers say that suspect again ultimately crashed at embarcadero and green, where officers were able to arrest him. shortly after he struck that 14 year old girl. investigators say the driver of
4:03 pm
that mustang was also transported to the hospital with injuries they say were not related to the multiple crashes in which they say he was involved at this point, investigators aren't releasing the name of the driver or where he is from. you can see that this is a heavily trafficked intersection with a lot of pedestrians. and again, you saw that, burnout here at this intersection. you can imagine just how dangerous it would be for somebody to be pulling a maneuver like that at this kind of an intersection. they say police are telling me that they believe multiple felony charges are pending in this case. at this point, they're not releasing the name of the driver of that white mustang or saying what city he was from. we will continue to search for any more details about this case and try to bring those to you as they occur, but for now, we are live in san francisco. christian captain ktvu, fox two news. >> yeah, certainly a scary day for a lot of folks in the city. christian thank you for the update. >> well, it was also a deadly morning on the streets of san jose. that's where a bicyclist was hit by a pickup truck. it
4:04 pm
happened just before 730 this morning at the intersection of capital expressway and center road, shutting down the intersection for hours. police say the driver of a red pickup was speeding going westbound on the expressway when he ran a red light. he plowed right into a bicyclist and another truck crossing the intersection. the bicyclist, an adult male, died at the scene. the driver of that truck has been taken into custody. there's no word yet on the charges. the intersection was reopened to traffic just before 130 this afternoon. >> tiktok is suing the us government over a law that would force the app's chinese owner to sell the company, or face a ban in this country, the suit argues. the law passed last month, violates the first amendment by effectively denying millions of americans access to an app they use to share their views. us lawmakers say they're concerned tiktok's parent company, bytedance, could share sensitive user data with the chinese government, the lawsuit will likely further delay a multi year effort by the us
4:05 pm
government to ban tiktok. >> and for more on the lawsuit, we are joined live this afternoon by jessica levinson, a law professor at loyola marymount university. thank you so much for joining us, jessica. bytedance fighting back against a potential ban here in the us. do you think the company has a legitimate first amendment case here? >> i think they have a legitimate one. i don't know if it's a successful one, in the sense that we don't have a lot of analog here. i mean, this is a fascinating case because there are a different a number of different steps in the road. i think the first question is, what are we going to treat this as? is this truly a ban? because what the us government has said is divest or it's a ban. and so the first question is, is that divestment a true choice? will a court say that this isn't a ban? and then the second is really how we treat this type of ban. do we subject it to the highest level of first amendment scrutiny, something called strict scrutiny, or do we
4:06 pm
subject it to something lower because maybe a court would view it as something called a content neutral ban, all of which is to say, really fascinating first amendment questions here. i don't know that we have any case, and i've looked at some of the briefing, but i don't know that we have any case on all fours that would tell us where a court's going to go. yeah. >> sort of feels like we're entering unchartered waters in some ways here, along with the free speech questions at play here, we obviously also have the national security questions, and that is how the federal government is going to defend this law. obviously citing the national security concerns with tiktok and its chinese parent company. how do you believe the government is going to have to demonstrate that those national security concerns are legitimate and not just speculation, when you put this in front of a court? >> well, and that, of course, is exactly what tiktok is saying. they're saying this is mere speculation. and so one of the things he said that i thought was interesting, which is kind of separate from the first amendment concerns, but i would say absolutely wrapped up in the
4:07 pm
first amendment concerns in the sense that if the government does have to defend this suit, and if this particular piece of legislation is seen as something that's subject to that highest level of scrutiny, then the government really has to prove not speculative national security concerns, but real national security concerns. and that's because what they would have to show is that there's a, quote, compelling governmental interest that's more than legitimate, that's more than important, that means that the us government is convinced that there are national security reasons why they need this piece of legislation. they're not just hypothesizing. and then the next thing they have to show is that in order to satisfy those national security concerns, this is basically the best way to do it. there's no way to accomplish this goal that would cut off less speech. >> okay, so by dance pushing back against those national concerns, national security concerns, jessica, but also the
4:08 pm
timeline here in the lawsuit, they allege that the window to sell the company is not possible commercially. they say technologically or legally. >> that's right. and so that's something for and i hate to say this, but this is something for the judge. this is something for the judge to determine whether or not those things are true. now bytedance has asked for something called declaratory relief, meaning like right away, just tell us before we move further, that this is a first amendment violation, that there is a concern here, the question, of course, is like, how far does the court proceed? and will bytedance have to prove up to the court? we really couldn't find another buyer. it's just not possible that the us government got it wrong when it said this timeline. one thing to note is in the legislation. i do think that there's a little bit of wiggle room to kind of push that deadline back. >> one other interesting aspect of this lawsuit is that tiktok is also pointing out a lot of
4:09 pm
the efforts it said. it says it's undertaken to try to separate out us user data from from data belonging to users from around the world, something called project texas, where they're going to store us user data here in this country. how much do you think those efforts that that the company is putting forth will matter to the judge as they make a decision in this case? so for the legal case, what really matters the most is how does a judge see this question? >> does the judge see this as an outright ban? judge? does the judge see this as the type of restriction where we have to be the most careful when it comes to speech and subject it to that highest level of review? if so, then bytedance's efforts might not be enough. if the court says, you know what, it's not quite an outright ban. it doesn't raise the most egregious types of first amendment concerns. we'll subject it to this kind of middle range, intermediate scrutiny. then maybe those efforts are something that a court would
4:10 pm
take into account, have done all they can. are their true national security concerns here that aren't otherwise mostly being solved. >> and yeah, fascinating issues at play here. it'll be interesting and interesting. >> next step. yep. all right, jessica levinson, really appreciate your time today. thank you so much. thank you. >> well, google has settled a $43 billion data privacy class action lawsuit. however that settlement will not be going to the plaintiffs. the settlement approved in san francisco federal court calls for all of that money to be paid to 21 nonprofit organizations that have done work in the area of data privacy. this case first began in 2018, when plaintiffs accused google of collecting and storing location data from consumers mobile devices, even when their location history was turned off, the class action suit would have possibly included about 250 million people as well. >> it was a day of bombshell testimony, and former president trump's new york criminal trial
4:11 pm
adult film star stormy daniels took the stand and described a sexual encounter with trump and a deal to keep her quiet. we get more now from fox's connor hansen from new york, the woman at the center of former president donald trump's criminal hush money trial takes the stand, and stormy daniels, questioned by the prosecution, provided her account of an alleged sexual affair with trump in 2006. >> at times, she went into explicit detail about their encounter, prompting challenges by the defense and causing judge juan merchan to strike some of her answers from the record. >> all of these details that we're learning about the pajamas, the back and forth, the kind of play by play in the hotel room none of it has much legal relevance to the cases and to the charges that the d.a. is pursuing here. >> but they're going to be capturing headlines for days, daniels told the jury after trump announced his run for president. >> she sold the rights to her story to trump's ex attorney,
4:12 pm
michael cohen, for $130,000 and signed a nondisclosure agreement as part of this. >> to keep the story quiet. they're going to want to talk about, whether she thought that the reason this all came together was to help him win the election, legal experts agree the testimony could be damaging to trump. >> but some question how much it actually ties him to the crime. prosecutors need to prove trump falsified business records to cover up the hush money payment, and everyone is saying, oh gee, that's the fraud. >> that's what they're trying to get us on the fact that we call a legal expense a legal expense. >> trump's defense moved for a mistrial based on daniels testimony, which judge juan merchan denied in new york. connor hansen ktvu, fox two news coming up here on the four this afternoon, as more people face longer and longer commutes, automated vehicles could help to address the issue. >> coming up, we'll take a look
4:13 pm
at a plan underway here in the bay area to integrate driverless cars with mass transit, and san francisco's mayor says there's been a noticeable change in the number of tents on the streets. >> we look at the new data and weather is just three days ago, we were talking about heavy rainfall and a lot of sierra snow. >> now we're talking about a big time warming trend and temperatures approaching the 90 degree mark for parts of e y
4:14 pm

the meeting point of humanity and history. in the middle of being the fun uncle! in the middle of being a kid again! beep! beep! ♪ there's something for everyone in illinois. the middle of everything! ♪ for some people, especially for those living in the more remote suburbs. ktvu tom vacar joins us now with a potential solution that could be under construction soon. >> sometimes it can be a long haul, no emissions, relatively inexpensive construction, often callable on demand and sure to positive impact commutes. at san ramon's bishop ranch roundhouse tuesday, the ninth annual refining redefining mobility. it
4:16 pm
was a summit that showed off what it calls the autonomous vehicle of the future, and the star of the show, the glide glide car, part of a scalable, expandable mass transit system. it's a collection of very smart driverless cars that operate on their own concrete pathways, which you would hail very much as you would hail an uber or a lyft. >> first phase is about four and a half to five miles, but connecting antioch bart station to brentwood. and so you can take a glide car in the future by walking maybe five minutes, going to an access point, which is a station on a glide phase station. and it takes you to the antioch bart station without ever stopping. always a predictable journey time. >> when fully completed, the system will be 28 miles long. the dedicated, narrow roadway system will stretch from antioch to oakley, with 56 boarding stations. and get this another
4:17 pm
glide waste project is set up a system to connect san jose airport to rail transit. tom vacar ktvu, fox two news. >> okay. all right, tom, thank you. >> after more than one year without a permanent police chief , oakland's new chief begins this weekend. mayor shengtao says chief floyd mitchell's first official day on the job will be this saturday. a public swearing in ceremony will take place on another date, which has yet to be set. we spoke with mayor tao earlier today during mornings on two, the nine, and she says chief mitchell is already working with interim chief darren allison to go over procedures and the department's crime reduction strategies. >> of course, ceasefire is the strategy that we're operating off of. we know it works. you know, we have homicides that are down by 17. we want to continue that roadmap. and so with that being said, he's already being trained up in all of these different strategies. the first order is crime reduction. yeah. >> and the latest data shows crime is down in oakland, 33%
4:18 pm
overall compared to 2023. homicides are down 17. rape is down 21, and burglaries have decreased by 50. however, the number of robberies has increased by 11, according to mayor tao, the police department is hyper focused on bringing the number of robberies down. >> we're still up by 6% in robberies, but that is that has flattened since february. so february we were double that number. so we are seeing the trend coming down. we're going to continue to focus on that. and again, when you know, we know that overall crime is down. but the next step that i'm working towards is the sense of feeling safe. >> the mayor also says the city is promoting positive aspects of the city through various types of media, to fight the perception of high crime in oakland. >> now, officials in san francisco touting some new figures showing fewer tents and encampments on city streets. but as ktvu allie rasmus explains, there is some skepticism about whether this means there's been
4:19 pm
any real improvement in the homeless crisis. >> the city's department on homelessness counted the number of tents, temporary structures and encampments in san francisco last month and found the number declined by 41% from last summer, 360 tents and structures this april, down from 609. >> there was a lot last couple of months, i think reducing more , less noticed fewer tents. yes. >> i don't believe i feel like it increased. >> i would say it's just the same old, you know, the same amount of homelessness and issues that have always been here. >> overnight outside civic auditorium, we saw a single tent pitched and dozens of people on the ground in sleeping bags. this 33 year old man from pleasanton told us he's been homeless in san francisco for the past three years. he says every morning just before five, san francisco police and department of public works crews tell him to pack up his belongings. he's been offered a spot in a shelter before. >> i've been to a couple of shelters and i didn't like how they were. it's like a joke.
4:20 pm
>> so why? what's wrong with them, they give for a bed. it was just a chair. so, like, you're slanted in a certain way the whole entire time. they flash flashlight in your eyes every hour during the check. >> the mayor's office says they believe the 41% decline in the number of tents on city streets is because of their outreach efforts. in january, the city was also given more legal authority to clear tents when the ninth circuit court of appeals said san francisco could compel people not to sleep or camp in public areas if they offered them a shelter bed. according to the city, 60% of the time people declined the offer. the coalition on homelessness, which sued the city for its policies on encampments, released a statement in response to the city's report. it reads in part, a reduction in tents does not necessarily mean a reduction in homelessness. homelessness only decreases when more housing is available. there is still great unmet need with long wait lists for shelter and housing. end quote. now this count was for tents and encampments, not people. the official count of
4:21 pm
unhoused people in the city is done every two years. the last one was done in 2022, and the data from that showed that there were more than 7700 unhoused people in san francisco. so the data from this year's count is expected to be released sometime in the next month. in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, turning now to our weather here in the bay area as we give you a look outside in the east bay here, a look at walnut creek and mount diablo off in the distance and blue skies as far as we can see. that rain that we had over the weekend. now, a distant memory here as we start to really warm temperatures up over the rest of this workweek. let's bring in meteorologist mark tamayo mark. it should be should be nice the rest of this week. yeah, that's the plan. >> alex. yeah, we are expecting to heat things up over the next several days. in fact, lots of 80s in the warmest locations eventually will be touching 90 degrees. so yeah, you'll definitely notice the change. bay area wide. even a place like san francisco could be
4:22 pm
approaching the 80 degree mark. so as alex mentioned just a few days ago we had the cool rain event. now we're going the other direction with lots of sunshine. as we take a look at the forecast for today, we are showing you this with that warming trend across the bay area for today and into your wednesday and into your thursday. still fairly warm for friday and into the weekend. now the short term, we do have this a wind advisory for the north bay. so the north bay valleys, the higher the higher elevations up towards solano county as well. this begins early tomorrow morning, 1:00 until 11:00 wednesday morning. so in general it's for wednesday morning. winds could be gusting up above 40 miles an hour. it is that dry northerly wind that warms up the bay area. and you'll definitely notice that change for tomorrow. right now, across a good portion of the west, you can see maybe some rain showers up in the pacific northwest, some cloud cover there, but we have a quiet weather pattern up and down the state from eureka towards san francisco, down towards santa barbara, down toward los angeles as well. we'll check out some of the current wind reports out there for the 4:00 hour, and there's a bit of a breeze
4:23 pm
developing, especially out toward vacaville, gusting to 21 miles an hour out towards san jose, winds gusting to nearly 20 miles an hour in sfo, westerly breeze at 14. here is a look at our live camera looking out towards san francisco and current temperatures in the 60s and the 70. probably tomorrow we'll have a few spots right around 80 degrees at about this time, so overnight temperatures starting out tomorrow morning with mostly clear skies, a bit of a breeze in the especially for the higher elevations after that, somewhat of a cool start tomorrow morning. a big recovery into the afternoon hours. upper 60s 70s warmest locations will be in the lower 80s and the warming will continue in the five day forecast. we'll have more on that coming up in a little bit. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit. mark. thank you. coming up here on the fourth this afternoon, president biden marking holocaust day of remembrance with a speech condemning anti-semitism. his administration's new actions to counter acts of

(♪) capitol hill, and he came at a fraught time for us-israeli relations. the commander in chief addressed the horrors of the october seventh attacks in israel, calling it the deadliest day against the jewish people since the holocaust. and he condemned the, quote, ferocious surge of anti-semitism seen in the united states since the start of israel's war against hamas, including some cases on college campuses.
4:27 pm
>> in america, we respect and protect the fundamental right to free speech, to debate and disagree, to protest peacefully and make our voices heard. i understand that's america. but there is no place on any campus in america, any place in america, for anti-semitism or hate speech or threats of violence of any kind. >> president biden said his commitment to the security of israel and its right to exist is ironclad, and he said the administration is working around the clock to free the remaining hostages held by hamas. >> pro-palestine demonstrations continue on a number of college campuses here in the u.s. today. university of chicago police began clearing an encampment at the school's hyde park campus. so far, there have been no reports of any injuries or arrests. tensions, though, rose over the weekend between pro-palestinian supporters and counter-protesters who have displayed israeli flags there on
4:28 pm
the quad. officials said that the protest had crossed a line and caused concerns about safety . >> they waited like cowards until every single student was asleep in their tent, basically, and then they stormed in. maybe 40 or 50 of them with riot gear, gear screaming. they started throwing wood planks, throwing chairs, throwing absolutely everything in any direction to destroy the campus as fast as possible, to suppress this movement as fast as possible. >> since april 18th, more than 2600 people have been arrested on 50 campuses. that's based on reporting by the associated press and statements from universities and law enforcement. well, thousands of daca recipients will soon be able to gain access to health care coverage. coming up, i talk live one on one with one of the leading ad cates that thinking i should bring back

4:32 pm
something we've been working on for a very long time. and it means health care coverage for hundreds of hundreds of thousands of americans. but here in california, we have over 165 daca recipients, which means, a lot of them will have access to affordable health care and get the primary and preventative health care that they need, we estimate tens of thousands of californians will get health care coverage because of this. >> yeah. it's estimated that about 580,000 people across the country were enrolled in the daca program at the end of last year. you have more specific numbers for california. explain a little bit more about what they will now be allowed to access. i mean, it's certain certain health care programs we're talking about covered california, specifically, which is the state's version of the affordable care act. >> and that means that they can go on to covered california and, purchase coverage for themselves
4:33 pm
, but the great thing here is that there are subsidies and tax credits that help make this coverage affordable. so this is not just going to buy health care coverage. this is health care coverage, with assistance. and that will help so many more people be able to get the care that they need, without that financial barrier or burden. >> yeah. daca recipients, they can work legally and pay taxes, but they don't have legal status and are denied many benefits available to u.s. citizens and foreigners living here in the u.s. do we know how many of them are actually uninsured, our estimates are that all daca recipients are currently, not eligible for any of these programs. and, we are hoping that this will mean at least, 30,000 to 40,000 californians, eligible and hopefully enrolling in coverage, here in california that they were not otherwise eligible, just a days ago. and that is a huge deal. and that's
4:34 pm
a lot of people getting health care coverage. >> are other classes of immigrants eligible to purchase insurance through the affordable care act marketplaces? >> unfortunately, no. so, most other if you are an undocumented californian, you are excluded from purchasing health care through covered california, which is actually an issue that health access is also working on. so that no matter where you were born, you're able to get access to the coverage that you need to make sure you and your family do not face those financial burdens of uninsurance , but also have that care that you need to stay healthy and have our communities thrive. >> i know that this is something that your organization has fought long and hard for, but there are opponents out there. they argue that the policy decision will further incentivize illegal immigration. this, in fact, is from republican representative lisa mcclain of michigan. she argued that it is, quote, rewarding illegal immigrants at the expense of the american citizen.
4:35 pm
what do you say to those skeptics of this change? >> well, again, with the daca program, these are people that arrived as children, and have been a part of our system and our communities for a very long time. but at the end of the day, our communities are all interconnected. i think we all learned through the covid 19 pandemic that there is no such thing as, any sort of, you know, illness that decides whether or knows whether you're documented or not. and in order to keep our health system strong, our communities strong and our families strong, everybody, no matter where they were born, should get access to primary and preventative health care. >> and when will this change? when is it set to take place? >> it will, they can start enrolling on november 1st, which will align with the open enrollment period with covered california for everybody in the program. so just like everybody, anybody else who purchases their care through covered california. now daca recipients will also be
4:36 pm
able to go online and purchase their care and receive a subsidy for that coverage. >> okay. again, that change effective november 1st. all right. really appreciate it. thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us this afternoon. >> thank you so much for having me. >> new at four a former state prison correctional officer has been booked into jail and is facing several felony charges. attorney general rob bonta today announced the arrest and those charges. the former guard worked at the solano state prison between 2020 and 2021, according to a grand jury indictment. during that time, he allegedly accepted thousands of dollars in cash payments to bring contraband into the prison. it allegedly included deadly weapons, cell phones, tobacco and alcohol. the guard is being held right now at the sacramento county jail. >> some of the women who were transferred from the federal women's prison in dublin to prisons across the country, are now alleging poor treatment and retaliation. a group of women at the federal detention camp in

the home of rapper drake that left one of his security guards seriously wounded. it happened around 2:00 this morning. police would not say whether drake was home when it happened. and of course, this act of violence
4:41 pm
comes as drake is involved in a growing feud with rapper kendrick lamar. the police inspector at the scene today was asked whether this shooting may have been related to the dispute between the two artists. >> i am aware of what you're talking about, but it is so early in the investigation that we don't have a motive at this time, and so i cannot comment further on that. >> now the injured guard is hospitalized in serious condition. police say the shooting was captured on surveillance video, but so far they have not offered a description of the suspects who were involved. but this attack in toronto comes as the long simmering rivalry between drake and kendrick lamar has escalated in a significant way in recent weeks. the two hip hop stars have gone back and forth, releasing diss tracks featuring increasingly personal attacks involving each other's family members and accusations of abuse against women. joining us now to help sort of unpack this rap beef is fillmoe mike, a dj from

ugly. why do you think it crossed that line? >> i mean, i really i mean, first of all, it's hip hop. so one thing about hip hop, you got to understand that it is a lyrical warfare. so people are trying to up the ante, and, and i don't i really can't say why. it gets to the point where they're getting very personal. i know, you know what i mean. so they're they're taking more than just lyrical jabs. they're talking about, you know, things about what they've done and people in their camp, things of that nature. and drake, you know, he's, he's up the ante. i mean, this is like, this is not just rap beef. this is like filet mignon. you know what i mean? they're up. they got moles and stuff, right? >> yeah. >> i mean, it involves a lot of people, you know, obviously there's a lot of accusations flying around. among other things, you have kendrick lamar who is accusing drake, who is obviously from canada, of in many ways appropriating black american culture. do you think that in any way does does does
4:44 pm
an accusation like that go to the heart of what this rivalry is all about? >> in the urban community and the hip hop culture, we some people would call drake a culture vulture, someone that comes, you know, into a situation and takes, you know, what he seems that you know, would be cool and takes that. and, you know, he'll take a little bit of this from atlanta. he'll take a little bit of this from houston. he can't even came to the bay with one of his songs, you know. and i feel like he's trying to learn at the end of the day, he's a black man. so i mean, i can't say that. so, you know. yeah >> no. absolutely. you know, you talk about the shooting that happened in toronto and that raises, i think, a lot of concerns for fans and people who are sort of like watching this. what is a feud, you know, and they're dissing each other on these songs. but then and then you hear about a shooting outside of drake's home that sort of takes it to another level. we've seen where where feuds in hip hop can lead. i mean, you just you just look back at the 90s and tupac and
4:45 pm
biggie and the way that ended tragically. how much concern do you have about this spiraling into a more serious situation? >> a short name for fanatics or fans and i don't know what's going on. hopefully it's not a crazed fan thinking that he's writing for kendrick lamar and things of that nature, within the bay area, a lot of times in the bay area, rappers don't like the beef because it can get it can get pretty serious. and you know. >> yeah, no, don't want to see that happen. >> you know, i guess the other question is what what does this feud mean for the careers of these two men? for drake and kendrick lamar? and what do you think it means for hip hop? >> i mean, in some ways, besides the incident today, it's great for hip hop people, we don't like the dumb. i'm a, you know, i'm a 90s baby, 80. i was born in 80, was in the 90s. so i like people that can rap. the lyricism is back. it's crazy because when nas and jay-z were beefing, it took like 4 or 5
4:46 pm
months to get a response from nas when he dropped his diss. and these disses are happening like, it's just it's just fueling the fire. man it's an exciting week for hip hop outside of that shooting, outside of the violence, obviously. >> final one, final question. we are out of time here. but do. hip hop fans or, you know, music fans in general, do we have to pick a side in this feud? >> i mean, i'm from san francisco, fillmoe it's always going to be the west coast baby. okay. >> all right. that answered my question. okay. >> fillmoe mike, appreciate it. from one of 6.1 kmel. thank you for doing it. >> no problem. thank you. appreciate the time. >> all right. we're going to talk about our weather here in the bay area and bring in mark tamayo. we're going to really start to warm things up in the next few days. marin. oh yeah, definitely. >> you'll notice that change for tomorrow. not just a little bit of a bump up in the numbers for your wednesday. these numbers going up quite a bit. you could see the bottom row here. the temperatures from this afternoon 60s and 70s. and everybody has an up arrow san francisco in the 70s. and a few spots will be right around 80 degrees tomorrow. one component they'll
4:47 pm
even warm up portions of the bay area will be a wind shift. we're going to see more of a northerly breeze develop those winds strong enough that we have a wind advisory for the north bay that begins wednesday morning. winds could be gusting up above 40, maybe approaching 50 miles an hour, especially for the bay area hills. here's the satellite and the radar. as you can see, lots of clear skies up and down our coastline from eureka, down toward the bay area, down toward monterey bay. so we're going to hold on to this clear weather pattern into your wednesday and a warming one as well. outside, right now, as we take a look at these current numbers, 60s and 70s, it's just so hard to believe it was just last saturday. three days ago. we had the heavy rainfall, those cold temperatures and all all that sierra snowfall. so a big shift. as you would expect this time of year. we're going back to back to a warming trend that will top our weather headlines here is our live camera looking above san francisco this afternoon, looking out toward the golden gate bridge. lots of clear skies tomorrow morning. we'll start out your wednesday in the upper 40s to the 50s. mostly clear and some breezy conditions. temperatures somewhat of a bit of a chilly start, but by 9 or
4:48 pm
10:00 tomorrow morning, you'll probably already feel the warmth out there. and the afternoon temperatures ranging from the upper 60s coast side. lots of 70s warmest locations will be in the lower 80s. so here's what's happening. as you can see here, this area of high pressure is developing offshore. this area of low pressure is out to our east. that pressure difference is setting up that wind event. that's why we have the wind advisory, as we do move into wednesday morning. this area of high pressure though this wants to build in. so as a result lots of sunshine thursday, friday and saturday and a warm up as well. probably the warmest day will be on thursday, but still some some toasty temperatures, especially inland for friday and saturday. here we go with the forecast model. no clouds to show you for your wednesday. we could maybe have some patchy fog return coast side by thursday as we'll keep an eye on that. obviously that would have a big impact on temperatures for that time frame. highs for tomorrow. look at all the 70s around the bay. oakland 78 and concord 80 degrees. here's a look ahead. it is warm to hot on thursday. it's still warm on friday, but we trim back on those temperatures. looks like the real cooling. and
4:49 pm
it's not much of a cooling trend, but it moves in for the second half of the weekend. so warming up once again over the next several days. >> okay mark thank you. and it's going to be warm. as you mentioned at the oakland coliseum where you and our other fabulous ktvu meteorologist are going to be tomorrow. >> yeah, we'll we'll definitely be there tomorrow morning at 1015. over 2000 bay area students will be there along with their teachers to help us out for weather education day. >> that's great. yeah. you guys do this every year out of the coliseum and it's always a lot of fun. you put together experiments. you have explanations about different weather phenomenon. it's really cool. >> yeah. and we're, you know, we honestly we learn more ourselves as we kind of make these experiments talking about temperature and wind. and we're actually going to release a weather balloon. there's a research team coming up from san diego. and it's actually a real weather balloon that captures data. so it'll be kind of neat. yeah that's a great, great thing for the kids to see too. >> mark. really appreciate it. looking for ball game too. >> yeah. or two i guess. >> double header tomorrow. >> there you go. >> well hopefully the a's do

4:54 pm
or grandfathers. and how much of that is still left over? and do you have to reeducate people? >> oh, that's a that's a hot word, reeducation is definitely something that we're trying to reclaim. my parents were in or my parents, my grandparents were in reeducation camps. what they called them, which were labor prison camps in vietnam in south vietnam, after the end of the war, we should use a different word. i think we could use that word. right. i think it's really about reclaiming words, the author, the pulitzer prize winning author viet thanh nguyen , who is from born or who was from san jose and raised in san jose, he writes that all wars are fought twice. the first time on the battlefield and the second time in memory. and so the work that we do, we really do feel like we are fighting that fight in memory for the younger generation to really reclaim and reeducate ourselves about the history of what happened then, and the histories of our families that have been left untold or have been silenced for almost 50 years now. >>
