starts right now >> they made their point, but not to the man they had hoped to see. drive by trump supporters in a show of unity as the former president comes to san francisco tonight. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> it's been a boisterous day in san francisco as hundreds of trump supporters gathered to show their support for the former, and possibly future, president of the united states. daetz donald trump flew to the bay area from arizona, a pivotal swing state. the event in phoenix was the first political rally since his conviction last week on 34 felony counts. in the hush money trial, trump landed at san francisco international airport just after 6 p.m. >> he was whisked by motorcade to pac heights for tonight's fundraiser, expected to raise millions of dollars for his campaign. a crowd waited outside but didn't get a glimpse of trump or his motorcade.

>> abc seven news reporter tim johns begins our team coverage. he's live at the fundraiser that took place tonight in pacific heights. tim >> yeah. dan. umma. i'm about two blocks away from that house. and literally just minutes ago, we saw a bunch of motorcycles leaving from the residence. so we do believe president trump, former president trump, is about to depart from here in pacific heights and make his way back south towards sfo. now, when he arrived here, like you guys said, he was greeted by both supporters and protesters. a lot of those folks are still out here at this hour. three hours after the president made his way into the house, many of these folks, obviously very impassioned and wanting to make sure their voices are all heard here tonight through corrupt nonprofits and corrupt organizers who have benefited from the suffering of the less fortunate on the streets, ignorant people vote for him. >> you're talking about biden. >> tensions were high at times between supporters and protesters of former president donald trump, both groups

gathering outside a private residence in san francisco's pacific heights neighborhood on thursday, where trump attended a private campaign fund raising event. >> i think it's very jarring for the democrats, to see not just that the president has a sold out fundraiser here in pacific heights, from tech folks, largely. >> john dennis is the chairman of the san francisco republican party. he believes support for trump is growing in the city and around the country, a view shared by many of the trump supporters who came out thursday. rhonda murray and her friends drove in from sacramento to try and get a glimpse of the former president in his motorcade. after touching down at sfo. we already see a perfect example of what's happening to our country under the current administration. >> we see what we had under his administration and we need that back desperately. >> but not everyone who came out thursday agrees with that. a group of counter-protesters were also present, many of them telling us they believe trump is unfit to be president. once again pointing to the criminal convictions against him from his

recent new york trial. >> not everybody in pacific heights welcomes trump and i think he is our felon in chief at this point. >> that includes armand domalewski. armand says despite the show of support for trump thursday, the bay area and california as a whole remain largely democratic, a trend he believes will continue on election day in november. >> they came because they were devoted to their king, but i wanted to represent the values of the people who live here. >> now, even though the former president is leaving the bay area, he's not leaving california. he is expected to make his way down to los angeles this evening. but for now, i'm live in pacific heights. tim johns, abc seven news. all right , tim, thank you. >> tickets to tonight's fundraiser range from 50,000 to $500,000. tech billionaire david sacks and hiwife hosted the event with venture capitalist chamath palihapitiya, and david sacks posted a lengthy explanation on twitter as to why he's backing the former president. it was well over 1000

words. this is how he wrapped it up. quote the voters have experienced four years of president trump and four years of president biden. in tech, we call this an a b test with respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy and legal fairness, trump performed better. he is the president who deserves a second term. now, we spoke with the senior politics reporter with our media partners at the san francisco standard to shed a little light on why a san francisco tech billionaire would back the former president. here's what he had to say. >> however, what we did find in the reporting is that people like sacks, who are very wealthy and have a very firm views about the way that their wealth is policed by the federal government, as well as issues abroad. there is a growing number of billionaires and wealthy people like sacks, who are warming up to the idea of trump. and the question is why? so many people have ideas that it is related to increasing their own wealth, rather than their stated goals about public policy. but that is, you know, up to each individual. and i

think, you know, what trump is doing by this visit is trying to send a signal, you know, kind of own the libs on their home turf, whether or not that actually needs people in san francisco and the bay area are lining up to support him. i'm a bit dubious. >> trump supporters were spotted across the city today. we shot this video on scott street by lombard in the marina, several vehicles driving by with american flags and trump flags for san francisco. this is a pretty rare and unusual sight. of course, a caravan of trump supporters rolled into san francisco this afternoon. we saw quite a few vehicles with flags come off the bay bridge into the city. then they made their way over to marina green, where dozens of people had gathered for a rally, hoping to greet the former president as he passed by. and while mr. trump never actually stopped by marina green, his supporters were energized and ready to welcome him to san francisco. things didn't go quite according to plan for some people, however. abc seven news reporter lena howland continues our team coverage with that story.

>> supporters of former president donald trump lined up along san francisco's famous marina green and waited for hours. >> the reason we're here today is to support trump and his in his agenda. and for me, it's drill, baby drill and border security. >> this supporter from fremont said his flag was sent from his friends back in idaho back in 2016, the first time trump ran for president eight years ago. >> i fly it proudly uh- for trump and hopefully he'll see it when he stops by. >> though trump never stopped by a giant inflatable trump chicken did wearing a prison shirt, the former president was convicted by a new york city jury one week ago of 34 charges in the hush money trial. >> we just felt it was really important to kind of see for ourselves what was going to be going on out here. >> david pro-park, out of monte sereno, says he wanted to show there is still a conservative voter base in the bay area. this

despite san francisco giving trump just 13% of the vote the last time he ran for president and lost in 2020. it's true in california, it's difficult because we are, quote, outnumbered, though i'm not sure that we're as outnumbered as we think we are. >> i'm more for people just being able to communicate again and get together again and discuss things. that's all i'm interested in. >> there were a few outnumbered counter-protesters, but things remained peaceful for the most part until the minute we stopped rolling on this interview when a man raced by on a bike, throwing a cup of what appeared to be pickle juice at pro park. >> why can't we sit down and talk about stuff? no, i'm going to throw pickle juice at you. >> wow. these people, you can disagree, but that's not how you. that's not how you show your disagreement. i'm sorry. >> and by the time trump's motorcade made its way through the city, this crowd had moved on, hoping for a closer view in san francisco. lena howland, abc

seven news. >> as lena mentioned, the trump chicken came out of storage for tonight's fundraiser. we saw it fully inflated and floating around san francisco bay this afternoon. earlier in the day, the wind seemed to be causing some problems and it had a little trouble staying upright. the chickens last appearance was in 2021, after president biden was elected and earlier today we talked with abc seven news insider phil matier about the former president's visit to san francisco. >> he provided some insight into what mr. trump gains and who is supporting him tonight. >> 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 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. >> phil says the expected haul from tonight's fundraiser could

reach as much as $20 million. >> vice president kamala harris came through the bay area yesterday for a pair of fundraisers. one was at a home in oakland and the second was in san francisco. that event was supposed to be at manny's cafe, but it was moved a few blocks away to a music venue because of the large crowd of pro-palestinian protesters. former president trump's search for a running mate is heating up. his campaign has reportedly started vetting at least seven candidates to be the nominee for vice president. the list includes north dakota governor doug burgum, florida senator marco rubio, ohio senator jd vance, south carolina senator tim scott, congresswoman elise stefanik, congressman byron donalds and ben carson, who served as secretary of housing and urban development under trump. the announcement will likely come at next month's republican national convention in milwaukee. >> all right. moving on. a significant development in the state trial of a man who broke into nancy pelosi's house and attacked her husband, paul, with a hammer, a san francisco superior court judge decides

list three charges against david depape for the 2022 attack. the judge says trying to pap for charges similar to his federal trial amounts to double jeopardy. the charges dismissed are attempted murder, assault of an elder and assault with a deadly weapon. depape still faces five state charges that were not part of the federal trial, including burglary, kidnaping and false imprisonment . >> in this week's heat wave is about over, which is nice. >> yes, it was brief but intense, abc7 news meteorologist sandyha patel is here with some cooler temperatures and a look ahead. >> sandy, absolutely nice to have some relief. finally today. yes, the heat wave is over. dan and umma, let me show you a live picture from our sfo camera shrouded in the fog right now at the airport. if you're flying out of there tomorrow, you might want to call ahead in case there are delays. 15 degrees cooler in fairfield. you've got a good delta breeze down ten in livermore, eight degrees cooler. san jose, 12 degrees cooler in santa rosa. today's high

favor of cowell's plan to build student housing athat landmark piece of property. abc seven news reporter anser hassan explains why the fight may now be over. >> the barriers around people's park will soon come down. now that the california supreme court ruled that uc berkeley can build student housing here, i'm unsurprised by it. after a year long legal fight over the berkeley landmark, the court ruled that a new law, ab 1307, which was enacted in 2023, nullifies the claims by those suing uc berkeley. the lawsuit claimed that student noise could be an environmental impact filed. >> 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, 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 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. in berkeley, anser hassan abc seven news. >> tuesday could be a big day in san francisco's efforts to bring pandas to its zoo. today, a board of supervisors committee voted unanimously to put an amendment amended fundraising plan to the full board next week. it includes more transparency from donors, some supervisors said, allowing unlimited fundraising for the pandas could foster corruption at city hall. a dublin council member has taken over as the city's mayor. michael mccorriston, was sworn in after the former mayor, melissa hernandez, resigned to join the bart board of directors. mccorriston has been a dublin

on a hillside near the 680 and highway four junction. the fire burned four acres, damaged tents from a homeless encampment in the area as well. crews were able to stop the flames before they reached a solar panel installation on the hillside. but we've had a busy few days of dealing with wildfires because of the high heat and some winds. yeah but finally getting at least a break from the heat, sandhya patel is here with the latest sandhya. >> yeah, and dan and we're also getting higher humidity, which will help in the firefighting efforts and also keep our fire danger down. so let me show you a live picture from our emeryville camera. it is a little bit of a murky view as the low clouds have made their push from the coast towards the bay. a here's a look at what you will be seeing over the next couple of days. san jose's average high is 78 degrees tomorrow, down to 82. you will notice those temperatures continuing to slide down into the upper 70s over the weekend before you see that recovery. but the heat that's coming next

week is going to be nothing like what we experienced the last couple of days. we still have a beach hazard statement up along the coastline until midnight. hazardous conditions expected with a west northwest swell 8 to 10ft. although point arena is reporting an 11 footer, this is what the weather service is saying. so keep that in mind. high pressure that brought us the hot weather, especially over our inland areas, is shifting off to the east. there were some thunderstorms earlier in the day, but mostly on the nevada side. this area of low pressure is starting to continue to push in the marine layer and bring in a stronger effect of the marine influence, so be aware of that. the breeze will pick up as well. right now on live doppler seven, all is quiet out towards the delta. we do have a 23 mile an hour wind right now in fairfield and sutro tower. camera showing you what is a view of san francisco 55 degrees here in the city. 56 in oakland. you can definitely feel the difference. 64 in san jose in redwood city right now. a live view from our

president's son was using drugs at the time of the gun purchase, he's charged with two counts of lying on a federal form and one count of unlawfully obtaining a firearm while using drugs. prosecutors zeroing in on how hallie biden described hunter biden as tired and exhausted and that he, quote, could have been on drugs. that's why she said she tried to clean out his car so they could start anew. but the defense tried to poke holes in the case, saying no witness has confirmed hunter biden was using during that month. today, the gun store clerk who sold hunter biden the firearm testified the younger biden did not exhibit any symptoms of drug or alcohol use. hunter biden's attorneys, underscoring how he had just finished rehabilitation and may not have thought of himself as an addict and therefore did not knowingly lie on the federal form which asked are you an unlawful user of or addicted to various narcotics? the trial continues tomorrow. hunter biden's attorneys have

said they intend to try to throw out this case on grounds of insufficient evidence and constitutional shortcomings. and when abc news washington. >> and president joe biden told abc's david muir today in an exclusive interview that he would not pardon his son, hunter biden, if he's found guilty of federal gun charges, he also said he would accept the outcome of the trial that is currently underway. >> and that interview with david was in france, where president biden joined other world leaders in normandy for the 80th anniversary of d-day, the allied forces invasion eventually led to the liberation of france and helped defeat the in world war two. abc news reporter zohreen shah has a look at how the world paid its respects. >> it was this day, 80 years ago today, when more than 130,000 troops from the u.s. and britain landed on the shores of normandy, france, fighting to beat the german forces. today, world leaders, including

russia. we're not authorize strikes on moscow, on the kremlin, ukraine's president vladimir zelensky, also there in this remarkable exchange, hugging a world war two veteran. >> are you the savior of the people of europe? >> it's hard to stand here without recognizing the bravery of all these young men. 80 years ago this morning, the sacrifice they made to protect our freedoms, the things they fought for, i think what an obligation we have to preserve what they fought for. >> zohreen shah, abc news, los angeles and oakland native tom hanks reunited with director steven spielberg to pay tribute to the war veterans at the d-day commemoration in normandy. >> hanks starred, of course, in the 1998 world war two film saving private ryan, which spielberg directed and many say is as authentic a presentation of what d-day was like as anything else ever put on film. the two praised veterans for their courage and sacrifice.

>> it was just a few months ago, back in march, when the largest home insurance company in california announced it would not renew policies for about 30,000 customers. well, it seems the company has changed course. sort of. state farm now says some of its customers can keep their policy. but there is a catch on our 3:00 pm program getting answers. abc seven news anchor julian glover spoke live with michael soller with the state department of insurance about what that catch is. >> so to simplify, the state farm is basically offering a limited coverage policy. explain to us how this works. >> that's right. you know, a lot of people in california probably have never heard of the california fair plan. and as you said, it is state created. but it's not run by the state of california. it's a private association. they will write you a policy if nobody else can. and the fair plan has been growing in california over recent years as we've experienced these major wildfires. so what state farm has done and the department of insurance authorized state farm to offer what's known as a difference in conditions policy.

and basically creating options for insurance is one of our top priorities during this time of insurance crisis in our state. and so what it does is if state farm policyholders who are non-renewed, who lose their coverage, if they can't find coverage through another company, a traditional company, they can find it through the fair plan. but to have that coverage that they used to have, that they expect for water damage, for liability, they need to have an extra policy. and it's called a difference in conditions policy. and that's what state farm is going to start offering to its non-renewed policyholders effective now. >> certainly some good news for those policy holders who thought that they would be without insurance and were wondering what they would do. of course, as we begin to think about fire season even earlier this year, let's talk about the cost, because i guess second to wondering if you're actually going to be able to have coverage is how much is it going to cost me? so will there be an increase in the amount of money that folks should be budgeting

for that insurance? if they have to have this fair plan? >> that's a great question. so first of all, at the department of insurance, we want people to have the best coverage. we want them and traditional comprehensive homeowner's coverage is often that's really the best coverage you can have. like i said, the fair plan is really a limited policy and it comes at a higher cost. so the first thing we urge people to do is contact the department of insurance. we can help you. it's not enough these days really just to search for insurance. you really have to hunt for it. and we can help you with that. we have a number of tools, so don't settle for the fair plan is my first piece of advice. if you have other options. and many californians do have other options, but we know that there are parts of the state increasingly where insurance companies won't write a policy at any price. we're working to change that. but for now, if you have to be on the fair plan, expect that it's going to be a higher cost policy. that difference in conditions policy, though, is something you should

consider because it really does cover you. our data shows that about half of californians who have the fair plan do not have a difference in conditions policy. and so when a winter storm strikes or even just a burst pipe, they don't have coverage for that. they are covered for wildfires, they are covered for house fires. so that's an important fact to understand about the fair plan. it's limited and it does come at a higher cost. >> michael. that's a really good point there. and of course, you always want to know what kind of coverage you have before you actually need that coverage. the last thing you want to do is call the insurer, think that you can file that claim, and then they tell you you actually don't have coverage for that. we know that several other insurance companies, like state farm, started to follow their suit after they notified folks that they were going to have to cancel policies because of this extreme fire danger. do you think that many of the other insurers might begin to reverse course and offer part of their coverage, along with the fair plan? >> well, we have a number of companies in the state that do offer what's this, this

difference in conditions policy. we've also we've been doing a lot of work here at the department, you know, as we've seen companies limiting coverage, we've also seen some companies expand their coverage. so farmers insurance uh- just recently said they're going to start writing commercial coverage, including for apartments and homes. so that's a real significant that's good news. farmers is the biggest homeowners company in the state. so they're going to be offering some new policies. we also saw mercury insurance say they're going to pick up policies that were dropped by another smaller company, a company called tokyo marine, that was reported. so they're going to pick up policies. so and we did we did have allstate say in a recent hearing that we held that they're going to come back and start writing policies as soon as we finish the regulations we're working on this year. so there's options on the way we, you know, and really for folks who are wondering what to do, we urge them to call the department of insurance at 809 274357 or come to insurance.com gov. you

can do online chat with us and we can help you really scour the market because there may be companies out there that that you hadn't thought of that can write you a coverage. >> that is certainly good news, that there are many options out there that homeowners can potentially turn to. and we know so much of this is stemming from california homeowners facing, really increased risk when it comes to fire danger. what else is the state doing to try and create more options for homeowners out there? >> well, that's a great topic because you're absolutely right. we have to, in the state, drive down the risk of wildfires. and so the incredible investments that the state of california has made in wildfire risk reduction, those are going to help the insurance situation as well. they're going to keep people safer, and they're going to help people keep their insurance, there's also steps that, you know, the commissioner, laura commission insurance commissioner ricardo lara, urged congress to take some steps because there's also any investments that we make in our federal forests can really help the situation. we know that 58%

of california's forests are actually controlled by the federal government, only 3% by the state. so there's a lot we can do as a state, but there's a lot that the federal government can do to help with these overgrown forests. and that's going to help the situation as well. so there's a there's a help on the way, but obviously there's a lot more that we need to do just to focus on wildfire safety in the state. >> mike soller with the state department of insurance, we really appreciate your time letting homeowners out there know what options they do have available to them. thanks for being here. >> and you can watch interviews like that every weekday at 3 p.m. on getting answers, but stay here with us. >> coming up. astronauts arrived successfully at the international space station today. there was a bit of a tch. the complications they dealt with i
