4:04 pm
tell you i've seen police officers, dozens of them, lined the streets around here and across the street there were a handful of demonstrators. without a doubt, trump's visit to this area is bringing a lot of security, a lot of attention, and a lot of protesters getting ready. it's a lot of heavy lifting and a lot of arranging. former president donald trump is set to arrive soon for his big fundraiser tonight in san francisco's pacific heights neighborhood. the barricades are out. no parking signs are up. tech billionaire david sacks and his wife are hosting the fundraising event for trump, with venture capitalists chamath palihapitiya, neighbor armand domalewski isn't happy about that. >> i live in this neighborhood and i am really pro-choice. i really don't like donald trump, and i know that the people in my community don't support those values. he's a convicted felon, who again, like, has taken away really vital rights like reproductive rights, gay rights, immigrant rights. >> the fundraiser at the posh

park heights mansion is expected to bring in big bucks from donors. some of them are bay area based venture capitalists. tickets are reportedly as much as $300,000 a person, half $1 million for couples. vip tickets go for $50,000 each. we do not know if tesla ceo elon musk is going to be attending this event, but sachs and musk are close friends. this fundraiser in san francisco comes a week after trump was found guilty of 34 counts in the hush money case. as for david sachs, he's a venture capitalist, a two time start up ceo, podcast host and former tech ceo. park heights resident domalewski plans on turning out with dozens of protesters to send a message. >> i'm happy to welcome him. we will give him a very big and excited welcoming tonight. 630 we're going to be protesting somebody bringing a giant chicken, like we're going to tell donald trump exactly what we think of him. all right. >> and this afternoon, a closer look at one of the demonstrators
4:06 pm
here. so much activity in this area, people directing traffic. a lot of vehicles coming and going. we can tell you that a person with the republican national committee believes that this particular fundraiser could raise as much as $10 million for former president trump. we're live in the park heights neighborhood of san francisco, suzanne phan. abc seven news. >> all right, suzanne, thank you for that. all right. >> abc seven news insider phil matier is with us now. phil he said he's raising money hand over fist. why come to california? he doesn't need the money. is he going to get much more support? the support won't make a difference, really, in terms of electoral votes, electoral college down the road. what what's to gain here? >> well, let's let's start with that little bit we're talking about is probably in the neighborhood of $20 million. okay. okay, a little bit. it's not a little bit. it's a lot. now the second thing is where is it coming from? it's coming out of san francisco and silicon valley tech. that is a statement that is a statement out there that he is relevant, that he is relevant after the convictions that he still rolling. and
4:07 pm
there's two things a politician and especially donald trump wants to get every day. that's money and attention and publicity. and he's getting both of those things by coming to blue california and especially by coming into san francisco. >> does it even surprise? i mean, 34 felony counts and it's business as usual. >> well, like it or not, business in america is not usual anymore. what used to be something that would cause you a lot of problems 10 or 15 years ago don't. and it doesn't anymore. it's there's just been a change in the culture. and also it's sort of been inoculated over the last year or such. the various the trial in georgia, the documents in mar-a-lago and now this trial and the before with his business dealings, he has turned it into a crusade, saying that they're out to get him. so rather than it being a straight trial, people are saying, no, it's part of a conspiracy. and they are on the marina green tonight. now, everybody has opinions about donald trump, some of them
4:08 pm
favorable, some of them unfavorable. but you cannot deny his popularity. okay i don't know of another politician right now who could get 200 people to line up in the marina for them to drive somewhere and do that. he's doing that, that they're doing that on their own. we have fundraisers, we have events. we pack them, the democrats pack them. but it's not the usual people. it's these people. we have billionaires up in pac heights that are opening up their checkbooks, and we have common people on marina green who are opening up their hearts to this guy. >> let's talk about the billionaires and the tech leaders and the venture capitalists. they put their money on the line. but a little bit of credibility in the bay area by so publicly supporting trump, are they just hedging their bets? what's going on? well, a couple of things. >> first of all, david sachs, who's hosting the event, he also has a podcast out there. and he's very public about it. and he said on his podcast he hasn't gotten any blowback, but he's put his name out there. he put his address out there. unlike
4:09 pm
past events where they try to keep it quiet, he's put it right out there and no problem, no. and that's one of the reasons why the organizers of the donald trump chicken on the bay are out there, because they said, wait a minute, you're going to have a fundraiser in san francisco and we're not going to protest. we're not going to make a statement. let's at least poke fun at this. and so that's why they're out there trying to get the chicken inflated is because the question of no blowback. but also, dan, this is a new group of investors and political players. they give to democrats, they give to republicans, they give to trump. they give to moderates. they give to opponents. they give to robert kennedy. they've even offered to host a fundraiser for joe biden. >> so they're just covering all bases. >> they're covering all businesses. they're covering all bets. they have more money than they're ever going to need. and so they live in a different world. can they walk down the street and get dirty looks? maybe, but maybe not in their neighborhood, but they're sort of anesthetized to this. they live in a world of their own, and it's going to be interesting to see how they play going forward, because they're not just doing it with donald trump. these same investors are
4:10 pm
involved with local and state issues as well. we have trade issues with china that they're very interested in the federal trade commission and how they, handle all apps, crypto currencies, all those things are big ticket billions at stake there. and so, yeah, they are opening up their checkbooks. >> all right. quickly, what's going on with the i mean, it's just not not just trump. what about vice presidential. >> well, she the kamala harris was here and she was raising the money as well. it's going to be interesting to see who raises the biggest protest. is it going to be the anti-trump or the pro-palestinians pro-palestinian protesters against kamala harris or the ones against trump? stay tuned with the night is young. >> yeah, that's true. all right. >> so much to discuss and unpack. thank you so much phil. >> all right. we are, of course, closely monitoring the events surrounding former president trump's visit to san francisco. he'll be here shortly after leaving arizona in the next few minutes. keep up with developments on abc seven news.com and wherever you stream abc seven.
4:11 pm
>> for now, let's turn to a wildfire that firefighters are gaining ground on. it's been burning since yesterday afternoon near saint helena. cal fire says the crystal fire is now 75% contained and started near crystal springs road, and quickly burned 60 acres, but crews were able to stop its progress within a few hours. that is good news since it started near the site of the 2020 glass fire, which burned for 23 days. four firefighters who were injured yesterday are now out of the hospital fire crews were able to quickly put out a vegetation fire in pacheco this morning, started on a hillside near the 680 and highway four junction. firefighters were able to stop the flames from advancing into a row of solar panels on the hill. no buildings were damaged. firefighters do have that extra factor of the heat to contend with, although not as hot as yesterday. yeah that's true. >> the bay area is in day three of its first heat wave of the year. but the good news some places are seeing some relief today. >> yeah, we're taking a live look outside from san francisco to santa cruz on the beach. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya

patel tracking the temperatures where you live, sandhya. >> yeah, and ama and dan those temperatures trending lower, which is what we want to see, obviously. take a look. double digit drop in napa, 22 degrees cooler compared to yesterday. at this time, it's a downward trend. 15 degrees in oakland. when you look at the temperatures right now, you have to go well inland to see any low 90s in places like concord and brentwood. it is 60 degrees in the city. heat advisory continues until midnight tonight for all areas shaded in orange. solano county under that excessive heat warning until 8 p.m. tonight. still a good idea to take it easy, especially if you're in our inland areas where we're still dealing with the heat. now, here is what has brought us the cooling. you can certainly see that the fog is back. it is right along the coastline here. and as we head into tomorrow, we're going to notice that that fog spreads out, continue the downward trend in temperatures. i'll be back with a look at what you can expect for the weekend. coming up. dan. >> sandhya, thanks very much.

tuesday. this morning, the board's government audit and oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend an amended fundraising plan. they didn't like the first one. mayor london breed, had asked the board to allow several city departments to receive unlimited donations to cover the $25 million cost to host the two pandas from china, but concerns over possible corruption stalled that plan. the new resolution, approved today will require more transparency, including a public list of donors. >> all right, it's time to turn to our weather. i can feel the difference today. >> stepping outside i can do began to ease off a little bit. still nice and warm. but what is to come? meteorologist sandyha patel is here. sandy. yeah. >> dan. and we're going to continue with this cool down that we just experienced today. and yes, you can feel it in many areas. let me show you a live picture right now from our emeryville camera. as we look at 80, a little bit of emeryville, there, you'll notice that haze in the atmosphere, air quality is moderate across parts of the bay area. as you will notice in yellow those dots. so we haven't had a strong sea breeze. and
4:19 pm
that's part of the issue here. right now it is 28 miles an hour onshore in san francisco. but the sea breeze will strengthen and that will mix out the atmosphere a bit. so tomorrow we're looking at good air quality for most areas. now here's what's setting the stage for some changes. this trough developing over the pacific is pushing the ridge eastward, and that's going to allow us to continue with the cool down. we are seeing some thunderstorms on the eastern side of california right now and heading into nevada right now on live doppler seven. we have that fog around that is going to be around as we head into tomorrow as well. now it's still warm inland or hot depending on where you are. in case you want to head to the coast, keep in mind that beach hazard statement is still up until midnight tonight. moderate northwest swell breakers 8 to 15ft. current wave heights are five to about ten feet. it's socked in on the golden gate bridge. the fog is back and it's reflected in our temperature is 60 degrees in the city, 64 in oakland, it is 78 in san jose
4:20 pm
and 77 in redwood city. nothing but sunshine from our exploratorium camera. we do have a few 80s around santa rosa, fairfield right now, 90 degrees in concord and 87 in livermore from our santa cruz camera. sure looks like people are enjoying the coast overnight tonight. coastal fog expands tomorrow. cooling trend continues. for those areas that didn't drop off much, we'll see a bigger drop tomorrow and for the weekend. nice late spring weather is headed our way so we don't have to worry about any extremes. then tonight at 515 you have the 80s and 90s inland along the coast. it's sweater weather though. as we head into 7:00 you will notice it's still warm away from the beaches and then finally those temperatures dropping into the 60s and 70s by 10:00, along the coastline and around the bay, you will notice that fog expanding going into tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow afternoon, not quick warm up at all. as a matter of fact, it's going to be a cooler weather day away from the coast. you're only seeing mostly 80s
4:21 pm
there, and then temperatures will drop later on in the evening. your morning temperatures will be in the 50s and 60. see the fog footprint? it's not just near the coast, but around the bay as well as we head into the afternoon. here is how it's going to look in the south bay. much more comfortable. 82 in san jose, 84 in morgan hill on the peninsula, 67 in san mateo, 58 and half moon bay, downtown san francisco, 63 degrees 61, in the sunset district, north bay, numbers 82. in santa rosa, the sun will be out. 73. vallejo 75, in san rafael in the east bay 68. oakland 67. berkeley i should say the sun will be out inland in the north bay. along the coast. there will be fog lingering in the inland east bay 84. concord, 86 in livermore and 85 in pleasanton. your accuweather seven day forecast. morning fog giving way to a cooler day mid 80s inland. we're going to hold you in that kind of mid 80s range for the upcoming weekend. upper 50s along the coast. and then if you really are missing the heat, look what we bring back next week. low to mid 90s inland.

4:26 pm
>> their claims with the court was that there was going to be all of this noise that resulted from the new number of students being added into that area. that is unprecedented. >> a state appeals court ruled last year that the university failed to consider alternate locations, or how to deal with the potential increase in noise, but uc berkeley appealed to the state supreme court and then ab 1307, which passed unanimously in effectively closed the holes in ceqa or the california environmental quality act that were used to sue the university. >> it's also frustrating that they can just change the rules halfway through and then decide that our case no longer has merit. uc berkeley says it's relieved with the decision. >> in a statement to abc seven news, it writes the campus is turning its attention to the timeline for resuming construction now that all legal challenges have been resolved by the california supreme court. professor david fraser adds even with the new law, the court still could have ruled in favor of the university. >> historically, in the state of california, there have been always allowances for
4:27 pm
educational institutions, albeit k through 12, to be exempt categorically from most of ceqa requirements. >> state senator scott wiener says there's a student housing crisis, and that this ruling allows uc berkeley to move forward. >> we passed two different laws to make clear that environmental laws should not be used or abused. i should say, to stop on campus student housing, which is some of the most environmentally sustainable, housing. >> the lawyer representing the people's park advocates did not return requests for comment. berkeley, anser hassan abc seven news. >> we have a lot more to bring you here on abc seven news coming up, continuing coverage of former president trump's visit to the bay area. >> we will go live to sfo, where our crew is standing by for his arrival. then the 80th anniversary of the d-day invasion, president biden's message to the world today and cash is no longer king. what used to get you a disco

saying cash is king? well evidently not anymore. yeah. >> apparently not. that's the case. now, i am someone who never carries cash unless i'm on vacation. and then all of a sudden i'm an atm, right? you know, i always make sure you take out the cash before you go overseas, but, it shouldn't cost people to use cash. i mean, that's a little ridiculous. >> and you used to be able to say, is there a cash discount? sure we'll take this percentage off now. >> there's a surcharge. do you ever i, i don't pay for much with cash anymore, but i always have a little bit of cash in my wallet. sandy, do you pay anything with cash? >> i, you know, mostly use my credit card, dan. but i think that, you know, like julian said, there should be options for people. i mean, if they want to pay with cash as opposed to a credit or debit card. >> i'll tell you what. i have a little coin purse in my car for parking meters occasionally, but i never use change of any kind anymore. >> no. well, even parking meters do. you usually don't need them anymore. that's true. >> use your card. but or pay by phone. >> there's the app now. it makes it easier. more convenient. >> some places take venmo. yeah
4:40 pm
all right. well, hope fashion is apparently taking a healthy turn. try this on for size. people are calling it hospital gown couture. it is a thing on tiktok. it's on tiktok. okay. clothing brand free people is selling this loose fitting romper that features a print similar to a hospital gown. it even has the slit in the back sites like ebay and poshmark have the gowns for sale at prices ranging from 68 to $79. here is me not buying that, but i will say at least the slit doesn't go all the way down. you know, when you're in the hospital and you're like, can i get up and go to the bathroom? am i tied in back? i don't know, sandhya. are you going for this? >> not at all. ama. you know the worst thing about it is like you're trying to cover up certain parts and you're like, oh, this doesn't quite cover every section. yeah. no, thanks. >> you know, for a while, remember, they got kind of hot. the those light mint green surgical shirts that people wear even if you're not a surgeon. i wore that once in a while because i think people thought i was a surgeon, which. >> so much precision with you,
4:41 pm
dad. >> no, i also was wearing a stethoscope around so that was it. halloween i was no, i was selling it. >> this is so bizarre, though. it looks like you know, i don't know, like a moo moo or a nightgown, right. that you know, you think of your grandma wearing. i don't know, it's not the look we strive for. >> usually. no pass trying to come up with a new fad. >> oh, yeah. >> and they're on. we're on tv talking about it. there it is. >> yep. >> all right, well, it's time to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most popular video games of all time. it was 40 years ago this week when all the pieces fell into place for the soviet computer engineer who designed tetris. the game, of course, features frantically falling blocks that players have to fit into place. the games has continually evolved. there's actually a new version out called tetris block puzzle new version. >> what's new about it? >> yeah, it's yeah. what is different, right. >> it looks the same new and improved? >> i played jenga, but i've actually never played tetris.
4:42 pm
i've played video games in a while. my, my, the video games i know are a little bit older than that one. >> tetris is cool, but like you said frantically, that's the thing. you see it start to come down. oh my god, where am i going to put it, turn it, turn it, get it down there. julian, are you a video game person every now and then? >> yeah, a little bit more updated than than tetris. >> julian, what's the one called you told me about? >> i told you about a video game on ps5. >> oh, no no no no, it was just oh. video games. see, i don't even know the difference between a video game and a game on my phone. >> oh, we were talking about an iphone game. 20-30 or something. yes. 2048. yeah. have you played 2048? you have to use the numbers two and four to add them up to try and get to the number 2048. that is addictive. >> now that sounds fun actually. you know sandy, it's amazing. i guess it all started with pong, i think back in the 70s and then moved to pac-man and the others, but it's interesting what video games hit and become really culturally important in a way. everybody plays them. and then there's so many that don't. >> yeah, no. it's true. i mean, do you remember pac-man many
4:43 pm
years ago? it was like that was a huge thing. >> you could play that in the arcade. i liked mortal kombat. that was my video game. i was jade, you know, when they're like, all right, back and forth, back and forth, spamming a and b nonstop, i don't know, whatever. all right. well, with the heat wave, we are having it is the perfect time for a cool, sweet treat and salt and straw ice cream company has just the thing. their june special brewers series features a flight of five flavors featuring beer from some of the top microbreweries in the u.s, and one has a bay area connection. he uses russian rivers supplication ale, blended into a light fudge swirled with a touch of manchego cheese. oh, wow. >> all right, since today, that's good. it's tasty. thursday, you know, we had to try it out. and joining us live now to tell us more about it is salt and straw co-founder tyler malik. tyler, thanks for coming on and thanks for sending this over for us to brought ice cream. yeah, yeah, it's a great day for ice cream, let's start with what we're eating. how would you describe the flavors
4:44 pm
of this russian river inspired ice cream? and we're all going to taste it. now, this is like. >> so i don't know if you've gotten to try this beer before in life, but, like, it is one of the most iconic beers. like, for us beer nerds, this is probably one of the coolest beers that you could ever get your hands on, and it's so rare it takes over a year for him to make one one batch of this beer and so for those of us, especially in northern california, this is a really, really cool opportunity. it's called supplication. he ages this wild yeast strain, you know, a fermented beer on barrels, pinot noir barrels from one of his neighbors that makes wine, and he adds some cherries and some lactobacillus, some some wild cultures and lets that age for just over a year. and you get this really, really funky beer that we actually put into a chocolate fudge. so as you're eating that chocolate fudge, you're just getting this really intensity of kind of that wild strain, a nice, nice tartness from the, the fermentation. and it's, it's one of the coolest ingredients we've ever got to work with at salt
4:45 pm
and straw. >> not overwhelming. it's pretty good. >> and i have to say, i am not someone who drinks beer. so how is this going to taste? i like both of them. one even just you can. you can get a hint of the beer taste too much? >> not much. >> yeah, it almost tastes like cookies. cream. oh, good. >> yeah, yeah. >> every once in a while we went like a couple of them are really hoppy because, like, you know, some of us are hopheads, but but, this one in particular with that manchego cheese, like, this is probably one of the most elegant ice creams we've ever been able to make. and i think just the way they play together with the, you know, the cherries that he puts in the beer, we're actually folding back into the ice cream to kind of create this marbling effect, it's really, really romantic. like, i just want to sit by the beach and eat this ice cream. it's good when you when you co-founded salt and straw, what was the philosophy by, you know, a lot of ice cream companies. >> but what made you motivated to try this and what makes it different? what did you go for? >> yeah, i mean, this is well, these ice creams are kind of the
4:46 pm
perfect story. this is one of the first sets of ice creams we ever created in 2011 was with breweries. because the idea of making ice cream was all about using ice cream as a platform to talk about the food industry around us and the amazing things that are that people are making, and so i love brewers, you know, there's so much creativity that goes into beer making, and so we've been partnering with, you know, just over 100 breweries in the past 13 years. this just so happens to be probably the most famous brewery we've ever gotten to work with at russian river. i can't stop eating the ice cream. >> i just taste it. we've scarfed this down. devouring, devouring. thursday are these flavors at all of the locations? >> yeah, yeah. so all across the country, there's actually five flavors total, and each one kind of tells a different regional story. so, we've got one from socal, orange county, actually, that is just this amazingly smart brewer, we've got this brewery actually from florida that, they, they, started their brewery. their family started in
4:47 pm
1888, in cuba, and the great grandson is now restarting his, you know, in miami. so you know, we want to tell this kind of, breadth of stories through ice cream, and in really unique ways, stories. >> they've got a cookbook, too, dan i know, yeah. >> tell us about the cookbook. >> you can make it at home, yeah, we i mean, it's ice cream making. it's so easy. i love making ice cream. i love teaching people how to make ice cream. this is like my life passion for so many reasons, so, we start with just, you know, a the first recipe you'll see in there is, is a really simple ice cream base. and with that one base, you can make thousands and thousands and thousands of ice cream flavors. and so we'll teach you over the book how to combine and mix and match and use your own creativity. >> it's fantastic. i used to work when i was a kid in an ice cream store, and we made ice cream too, so i've had a passion for ice cream my whole life. more eating it than creating it. >> delicious. no, no, that's the way to go. thanks, tyler. >> all rig

brown for boston luka doncic. kyrie irving for the mavs. this will be the first time that these teams, these two meet in the finals. one thing they do have in common, though, is they both lost to the warriors back
4:51 pm
in 2022, when the dubs beat dallas in the western conference finals and then took boston in six. in the finals, the celtics tied with the lakers overall for most nba championships won with 17, while dallas has only one title that they won back in 2011, boston's favored in the series. they also have a lot more pressure on them after coming up short a couple of years ago, jayson tatum on how that experience in 2022 might help in these finals. >> i give a lot of credit to that team, right? the warriors, i think, you know, we understood what it took to get there. you know, they understood what it took to get over the hump. that was a really special team that didn't make many mistakes, obviously well coached. and they've just been there before. and in some of those tough moments when i go back and look, you can tell that, you know, they had been there before and it was a lesson to be learned. and i, you know, told myself that if i ever got the opportunity again to make it to the finals, that, you know, never take it for granted.
