fifth by the people. >> president trump calling this a rigged trial immediately after hearing the verdict. guilty on all 34 counts in the new york hush money trial. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. >> i'm larry beil and i'm julian glover. we begin our coverage today with the very latest happening in new york. here's abc news reporter reena roy. >> former president donald trump found guilty. jurors delivering the verdict on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the hush money payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. trump reacting to the verdict. >> this was a disgrace. this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. but the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here. and everybody knows what happened here. >> last year, trump pleaded not guilty to the felony charges brought by manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. >> while this defendant may be unlike any other in american history. >> we arrived at this trial and

ultimately today at this verdict , in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors, the case tied to that $130,000 payment. >> his former attorney, michael cohen, made to daniels just before the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about her alleged sexual encounter with trump. prosecutors saying when trump reimbursed cohen, he purposely disguised it as a legal expense to hide the damaging information from voters. trump denies that encounter with daniels and maintains he did nothing wrong. the trial began in april. prosecutors calling 20 witnesses to the stand, including cohen and daniels, the defense calling two. trump declining to testify in his own defense. reena roy abc news, new york the former president addressed some of his supporters outside the courthouse shortly after that verdict was read. >> here is his whole statement. >> this was a disgrace. this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. this a

rigged trial, a disgrace. they wouldn't give us a venue change. we were at 5% or 6% district. in this area. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial. the real verdict is going to be november fifth by the people. and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. you have a packed day and a whole thing. we didn't do a thing wrong. i'm a very innocent man and it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our constitution. our whole country is being rigged right now. this was done by the biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent. and i think it's just a disgrace. and we'll keep fighting. we'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country has gone to hell. we

don't have the same country anymore. we have a divided mess where nation in decline, serious decline, millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists. and they're taking over our country. we have a country that's in big trouble. but this was a rigged decision, right from day one with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case. never. and we will fight for our constitution. this is long from over. thank you very much. >> and now some video of the former president arriving at trump tower just minutes after hearing the verdict, mr. trump held up a fist as supporters cheered him on. >> and now the question will the historic guilty verdict have an effect on voters? in a new marist poll, 67% of registered voters said a guilty verdict would not change how they vote. just 7% said a guilty verdict would make them less likely to vote for trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential race.

>> the biden-harris campaign issued this statement right after the verdict, quote, in new york today, we saw that no one is above the law. it then went on to say donald trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequence for breaking the law for his own personal gain, but today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people face a simple reality. there's still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box. convicted felon or not, trump will be the republican nominee for president, the statement goes on. the threat trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. he's running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator on day one and calling for our constitution to be terminated so he can regain and keep power. a second trump term means chaos, ripping away americans freedoms and fomenting political violence, and the american people will reject it. this november. >> let's put all of this into perspective now. joining us now is professor of law of uc law,

san francisco, roy little, roy, we appreciate you, as always, a truly historic day in our country. me, your reaction to the former president now being convicted of 34 felony counts? >> well, it is a historic day. on the other hand, i think it's really refreshing to watch a trial like this up close. these sorts of trials happen all over the country every day in our superior courts. and you don't get a lot of defendants who say, well, the whole thing is rigged, these false business records cases, there are dozens of these every year. there's this one is no different, the irony of, you know, hearing former president trump's statement, they're full of falsities. after a verdict where he's found guilty of, willfully submitting false documents is sort of funny. how it's going to affect the election. i don't know, there's a lot of room to move between now and then. he'll be sentenced on july 11th. i would expect he would get probation. he's the first time offender. he'll be treated just like anybody else

who violated this law in the state of new york. >> is that really possible? given who we're talking about in this situation? because you look at the way things have played out in the past and donald trump, you know, whether you love him or you don't love him, he has a way of making things go in his favor, even when it seems like, you know, 34 out of 34 says a lot. and the jury was obviously convinced. that doesn't necessarily mean his supporters will be convinced that this is the right verdict. >> well, of course, you're right about that, you know, and i think most people have already made up their mind about who they prefer trump versus biden. that's that's the election one, i don't think this conviction is going to change that, on the other hand, i do think it's refreshing to watch, anybody, who is charged with a crime get all the process he got. he got a six week trial. he had armies of lawyers. he was permitted to make all sorts of statements both before and after the trial,

you know, every day, most of which have falsities. there's no evidence at all that there's any connection between the district attorney in manhattan and the biden administration. in fact, they have their differences, frankly, so he's not the same as everybody else, but he is being treated the way anyone is treated when they do false business records in the state of new york and people sort of forget this is not about having sex with somebody. this is not about the salaciousness of various testimony. this is simply a business records case. if this happened in san francisco and a business fillled a bunch of false business records, in order to try to influence some proceeding, they would also be charged with a crime, it's just not that unusual. >> of course, you make a really good point there, right? that this was called the hush money trial, but it was all about falsifying those business records. of course, now that the president has been found guilty on 34 of those counts. okay so one big case out of the way. there's still three more that are before the president. we have the january 6th case. we

have the fulton county election interference case, the classified documents case. the reality in your mind that any of these cases could be resolved before americans head to the voting booth this november. >> i honestly don't think so. i don't think you're going to see any final, verdict in any of those cases. the judge in florida with the classified documents case is doing everything she can. she's a trump appointee, a very young appointee, she was a, she was confirmed after he was already out of office. actually, she's doing everything she can to slow that case down, the case in washington, dc is going to be slowed down. there's going to be this immunity verdict from the supreme court. they're considering presidential immunity. they're going to say he's not immune, but then they're going to remand it back to that court for further proceedings. that's not going to happen before november, so i just don't think you're going to see results in any of these cases. this is the case that is going to be on national perspective by the time we get to, november 5th. and he'll be sentenced by that time. but he

will still have an appeal pending. so he will say, well, it's not final yet, and there's all kinds of problems, this is the way the legal system normally works. it's slow, it's not particularly exciting to watch every day, and i think it's refreshing to watch, president trump is being treated as though he were simply a business person who filed a false business record. >> all right, well, let's expand on that for a second, because sentencing is scheduled for july 11th. if we want to go with the premise that he's being treated just like everybody else, if it was myself or yourself or julian here, we would probably go to jail. okay what do you see happening? you don't think we go to jail? >> in jail, you're not going to go to jail. >> we pleaded out to stay out of jail, but you know, more seriously, what do you think the sentencing would be? it's going to be probation, i guarantee you. >> he's a first time offender. just like you or me would be. he's a nonviolent offender. this is not a crime of a century. this is this is treated as a misdemeanor. other than the fact

that it was done to influence an election, which makes it a felony, i would be very surprised if there were any other sentence. other than probation. he will get a conditions of probation which say he has to abide by the law and things like that, but he'll be allowed to travel. he'll be allowed to campaign, the sentencing is not going to affect the way he goes forward. i don't think with this campaign, and i'd be very surprised. and if you or i were convicted of the same thing, we would not be going to jail either. not for a first offense, nonviolent offense, clean record, you know, businessman. et cetera. et cetera. >> let's talk about what happens in november if trump is reelected. he has floated the idea of issuing himself a pardon so he could potentially remove that crimson label, right, of being a convicted felon from his name. we know how concerned donald trump is with the record books, with history. what do you make of that? do you think he would actually do that if he gets reelected? let's be really clear. >> he cannot pardon himself from

a new york state conviction. he has the power to pardon himself federally. he does not have the power, so far as we know. no constitutional power to get out of a state, that's up to the state executive branch, whatever that is. the governor, the judicial branch, he cannot pardon himself from this. it also won't be final. by november 5th. it'll be on appeal, he would he pardon himself? nobody knows if actually the president is allowed to do that. that would be another case in front of the supreme court, but i certainly believe he would try to do that. and if he is elected, he will order the department of justice on the day he takes office to drop any federal cases that are being pursued against him. >> but the new york case is not subject to the federal review. if you want to call it that. so i think that's right. yeah. all right, thank you, professor little. really appreciate your insight. i'm sure we'll be talking down the road. >> my pleasure. thanks. you guys, you're doing a tough job. thank you.

>> we appreciate it. well, a national representative for the california republican national committee called the trial unprecedented and was critical of the verdict. this verdict is a disgrace for the american legal system. >> it was rigged from the beginning by a biased judge who should have recused himself if there were flawed jury instructions, improper evidence, improper denial of the admission of relevant evidence of a case that was rejected at the state, federal and regulatory fec level by multiple prosecutors who could have brought this case. this is the first time in history in new york that a documents and records case has been charged as a felony. >> that was harmeet dhillon, obviously echoing many of the same sentiments that we heard from the former president today. she was also critical of the judge for scheduling the sentencing just four days before the republican presidential nominating convention. >> now, abc news brought you the verdict live and reported the jury's decision at the exact moment every count was read.

cause under mayor breed's administration, the rollout of universal child care has been stalled. >> former san francisco mayor mark farrell is challenging mayor london breed for her seat. farrell says voters approved a tax in 2018. baby prop c to provide early care and education for kids up to five years old whose families are low income, close to $400 million of taxes that we have collected as a city government in san francisco is sitting unused. farrell is announcing a plan for affordable child care in san francisco. >> first, we will offer subsidies to help low and middle income parents and guardians afford local child care services. >> farrell says he will raise wages for child care workers to fill shortages. he also plans to create new incentives to get more care facilities built. >> we will also provide low interest loans and reduce taxes and fees for property owners who repurpose their existing spaces, so we can create and expand existing child care facilities

here in san francisco. >> we asked mayor breed to respond to farrell's claims. the mayor's office says the mayor has used prop c funds and that she's doubled the number of children receiving early care and education subsidies, cut the wait list for care subsidies by 72, and built or renovated 40 early care and education facilities over the last five years. mayor breed's campaign spokesman said, quote, mayor breed is taking the next step in her budget through a landmark policy to provide child care vouchers to middle income working families, cementing san francisco's position as a national leader in child care and early education. the promise of universal child care, a work in progress in san francisco, suzanne phan abc seven news in the south bay a push for more accountability was met with backlash. >> it comes after a harsh state audit found san jose was not doing enough to track the cost effectiveness of homelessness programs. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more on what city council

1000 beds and services. their proposal didn't pass through the first committee, but the council members are still pushing for it. >> so please come. >> the proposals met with intense criticism from this group of protesters made up of unhoused people and their advocates. you can't say like a worry about spending when you're also supporting sweeps, but it's also that, you know, they want to do this sj love idea for a massive like mega shelter and nobody. >> the whole group here is mostly unhoused people, people with unhoused experience, and none of them want to be in a massive shelter. >> the council members continue to have discussions with the group following the press conference. advocate sean cartwright said, though, that it didn't lead to much progress. the council members legislation goes before the rest of the council on june 11th. in a statement, san jose mayor matt mehan said that he also wants more accountability and is required public dashboards that track spending and impacts on efforts tackling the city's homelessness crisis in san jose. zach fuentes abc seven news that another delay in reopening the

november 5th by the people. >> donald trump, still defiant even after becoming the first former president ever to be convicted of felony crimes. after 11 hours of deliberations in new york, jury found mr. trump guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to star stormy daniels. he's now set to be sentenced on july 11th. experts say the conviction likely will not lead to prison time. in fact, probation is a possibility. this also does not prevent mr. trump from continuing his presidential campaign. >> east bay municipal utility district is trying to get carbon neutral by 2030, and a new solar project unveiled today should help in this cause. >> yeah, the utility is hoping it will encourage others to invest more in solar energy. here's abc seven news reporter anser hassan. >> getting water from the sierra nevada to the east bay doesn't

come with energy costs, but transporting that water to homes and businesses does, says marguerite young with the east bay municipal utility district. >> once it gets to our treatment plant and needs to go out into distribution system to make that water clean and safe and get it pumped up the hills to folks, etc. that uses electricity to help cut energy costs. >> east bay mud unveiled 12,000 solar panels over 12 acres in the hills of orinda. it predicts the panels will cut energy costs by 10, or about $1 million a year. >> we're a very large enterprise , so it's not huge in terms of the percent of our expenditures every year, but it does offset those. those rate dollars. >> there was no interruption with existing wildlife. we did have a biologist helping us through that process. >> it's a project that's been ten years in the making. as east bay mud tries to become carbon neutral by the end of the decade, every kilowatt hour that gets produced from this project gets sold to east bay mud.

>> for them, it's lower than their current cost of energy. >> eric potts is with total energy's. he says this is one of the largest solar panel projects in the east bay. as he explains, the panels are designed with technology to protect it from extreme weather and have safeguards to protect from cyber attacks. >> cybersecurity is something we're absolutely keeping an eye on. we're able to monitor this remotely, but a lot of the actual electricity generation takes place on site. and so there is an element of protection that we have there as well. >> east bay mud is committed to fighting climate change, and it hopes this project will also lead the way for other companies to follow. >> you see them on parking lots. there's lots of opportunities to do more, and we hope that this shows the way and sets an example for other large scale landowners to do the same, to think big about what they can do on climate change. >> the panels will be operational by the summer in orinda, anser hassan abc seven news. today, the california public utilities commission approved adding 45,000 new customers to its existing community solar programs. the

initiative lets low income customers subscribe to a pool of solar projects they're then guaranteed a 20% discount on electricity. the decision also adds battery storage to the community solar program. >> in the new abc seven originals presentation, bay area 2050, we look at the impact that climate change will have on our environment, so building a better bay area obviously means understanding what our future is going to look like. and california's agricultural industry is already having to adjust for rising temperatures, frequent droughts and destructive wildfires. all right. so now we hone in on the wine industry. that means taking a closer look at how and where they grow their crops. here's abc seven news anchor ama daetz. >> more than a third of the country's vegetables and nearly three quarters of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in california, but fluctuating between dry and wet years and rising temperatures have made predicting the future of some crops challenging, according to

the us department of agriculture. all of these regions in california will suffer economically among the crops to watch the state's wine grapes. california produces roughly 80% of the us wine production. much of that is grown right here in the bay area , in napa and sonoma counties, napa county will see more days above 90 degrees going from an average of 29 extreme heat days per year to an average of 45 days by 2050. the region is being stressed by climate change, experts say warming temperatures in the region are forcing the wine growing season to start a month earlier than it did in the 1950s, forcing vineyards to grow smaller vines and even changing the types of wines grown as well >> we know that it's warmer, we

know there's more impacts of extreme events. there have been a lot of issues that directly relate to climate change, drought, lower yields associated with that, smoke taint, heat waves. there's been a mean change in having earlier harvest . my name is doctor beth forestell. i'm an assistant professor at university of california, davis and the department of viticulture and enology, napa and other regions have had much lower yields in certain varieties and cultivars than what would be normal in the last several years because of issues around smoke taint and because of issues around climate change. i think it's impacted specifically cabernet. >> cabernet is incredibly resilient as a grape. number one, it can be grown in a lot of different conditions. my name is elizabeth vienna. i'm the winemaker and general manager here at chimney rock winery in the napa valley. i mean, listen,

we worry we know climate facts. i think if you're a human being on this planet today and you're not worried something's wrong with you, we all know that global warming doesn't just mean that we keep getting hotter. it means changes in patterns, right . and variability. so i think that as a grape grower, you have to be prepared to pivot at any given time. and so you have to be ready for a cool rainier season, or you have to be ready for a very warm season. but at the end of the day, that's really no difference to being a farmer. anyway right? farmers have always been at the mercy of different weather changes, so it's something that i think we're kind of inherently prepared for when you see change. >> and starting in the 70s through 80s, you see this increase in not only mean climate change, but really dramatic increase in extremes. so more heat waves, more extreme

precipitation events, more fire fires become a huge issue. changes in the fire dynamics earlier frost and more frost risk in the spring. all of these things are compounding and create a lot of issues with being able to figure out what might be able to grow well, where. >> so what will the bay area actually look like in just 25 years? watch the abc seven originals presentation. bay area 2050 now streaming everywhere you watch abc seven. >> age restricted dining, the restaurants now checking ids. and we got birth and wedding registries. well, now another group is getting their own. the

frame divorce as being something positive. it's part of a new trend, along with divorce parties and formal divorce announcements. this is interesting. i guess it's a way that you can help out somebody, right? if they're going through a divorce. and we know that what half of all americans could potentially be headed in that direction. so what do you guys think >> i know we have many opinions. obviously that's the only guy who's not married here, right? everyone else is what i just was trying to share with the ladies and get i don't want to take their opinion time, but it's i mean, it's interesting. >> well, finally i'll be able to get my cuisinart that made my smoothies every day back. i'll get a new one. even better. yeah, but but sandy, could you see yourself contributing to one of these registries? >> i don't know, i mean, larry, i understand there are people that get divorced, and i understand that maybe they have no way of, like, navigating

through it. so it could be a good guidance. i've had a couple of friends get divorced, but i mean, i don't know if i can contribute to this lose. >> you know, i love helping people, and i think it's important that if somebody is in need, you help them out, regardless of whatever you know, it's happening in their lives. but i feel like this is also i mean, this is a business. this is what it is, right? it's a business that somebody has created. so i think it's kind of like the same thing that people do when they open gofundme accounts. right? they just open a gofundme for x, y and z. this is the same thing. >> i'm not sure if it's ingenious. starting this or just absurd, but either way, we'll find out. >> hey, somebody is trying to make some money off. >> exactly, speaking of which, is saint louis restaurant will soon be checking ids, but not like what you think the upscale west african and caribbean restaurant called bliss only wants a certain type of diner, and it's all based on age. women must be at least 30 men. 35. the owner says it allows older people 3035 years old. okay, to come and enjoy happy hour and

dinner and make it drama free. basically, what they're telling you is there's not going to be a screaming infant seated in the next table disrupting your enjoyable dinner. >> so yeah, exactly. >> or riff raff, right from, you know, younger folks, this is trying to appeal to the grown and sexy crowd, if you will, as they often say, right. the more adult crowd. >> is that what you call yourself when i'm not at work? when i'm not at work? no, no, you've seen that before. >> it's like, this is this is, you know, for a certain group of people that you're trying to get out. >> right. >> why are these stories back to back? yeah i mean, it's like, this seems like a restaurant where people would go to find somebody, but then, you know, it's just i don't know. i don't know about this. i mean, what have you turned 36 when you were there? like, do you not get a, you know, a happy birthday sang to you? like, what do you do? it's like, this is so random. yeah. >> no, i think it's pretty interesting, actually. >> can we do this on planes? oh from your lips to god, yes. >> all right. a popular

restaurant chain founded right here in the bay area is expanding. once again. we're talking about nick the greek. yeah. was founded ten years ago in san jose, and it's had an expansion in an explosion recently with new restaurants opening in marin county and the east bay. it features some greek favorites that you know and love. we're talking about pitas, salads and desserts. the newest location opened earlier this month in pinole and joining us on this tasty thursday is nick the greek pinole, frenchie franchisee, serena escalante. >> serena thanks so much for joining us. you know, the second that the food was brought into the studio here, it was like, oh my goodness. the aroma is incredible. well, what do we have here? >> so you all have in front of you. some of you have beef lamb pitas. it looks like uh- with some sources on the side. so those have beef, tomato, chicken, gyro, taziki fries and then some of you have bowls which have chicken souvlaki. so the euro is shaved me and the souvlaki is skewered and marinated and grilled. so that's the souvlaki. and then we have

hummus and pita. and i also sent some, a dessert, a baklava, and a greek lemon drink. >> wow. >> julia took my dessert, i think. >> oh, i think sandy has it right. yeah, because she's a vegetarian. >> that's right. >> with the greek. so hugely popular. what is it about the restaurant that is allowed it to expand to so many places all across the bay area, and keeps people coming back for more? >> wait, i want to answer part of that. you're not asking people for their age when they're coming in. that's huge. >> no, we are not asking people for their age, but no, i think the main thing that drew me to nick the greek in general, and what draws a lot of people to nick the greek is the authenticity and the freshness. so everything is made in house. everything is fresh. and i think that as someone that has worked in the restaurant industry in the past, i know that the secret to having a very successful restaurant is the quality and the freshness, and having good customer service, of course, but at the end of the day, the food needs to be fresh and good and great quality. and i think nick

the greek hits all the spots there. serena >> most popular item on the menu . >> most popular item is a beef lamb pita, which you have in front of you. >> okay very good mvp right here . so good. we know the new restaurant is opening up in pinole. what made you want to own a nick the greek franchise and open it up there in pinole? >> yeah. so i actually wanted to open a nick the greek franchise. since i was in college. i went to san jose state and they had one right across from my college, and i wanted that was one of the first things i wanted to do when i graduated college. so i always really loved the food and i loved the casual vibe inside, so that's why i wanted to do it. i live local to the area, and i just felt that in order to go get like some fresh mediterranean food in general, people were driving 20 to 25 minutes. we didn't really have any options here, and so i thought it would be a perfect location for it to be a little central, in from, hercules and el cerrito and those areas. >> it's so cool that you're living out your dream like this is what you wanted to do. and you've you know, put it into

reality. you've made you've spoken it into reality. so. yeah. yeah. no, it's fantastic. i guess we should do this before we end the segment. but you tipped us off earlier in your description because i had friends growing up that would call the sandwiches gyros, which incorrect. but can you just, enlighten some of my friends, please? >> yeah. >> so if you go into any of the nick, the greeks, most of them have a sign that says gyro spelt out. and then the pronunciation under it, because people will ask us all the time. so it's spelled, gyro. and under it in parentheses, which is the pronunciation will say y e r dash. oh, so it's gyro. >> all right. all right. >> we got that taken care of. all right, sabrina, thanks so much for joining us. and, everybody, the food is delicious. check out nick the greek in pinole. all right. >> thank you so much. >> our pleasure. thank you. th
