peppered with questions on the issues impacting americans. biden pledging to protect abortion rights. >> no politician should be making that decision. a doctor should be making those decisions. that's how it should be run. that's what you're going to do. and if i'm elected, i'm going to restore roe v wade and accusing trump of sparking the january 6th attack on the capitol. and now, he says if he loses again, such a whiner that he is, that could be a bloodbath. >> trump hammering biden on inflation. >> the jobs went down and then they bounced back. and he's taking credit for bounce back jobs. you can't do that. he also said he inherited 9% inflation. no he inherited almost no inflation. and it stayed that way for 14 months and promising to crack down on illegal border crossings. we have a border. that's the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. consider the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. and he opened it up at stake. >> with just over four months left in the campaign season, millions of voters unenthused by their choices. the next and final presidential debate, hosted by abc news, is scheduled

other side of the political aisle. organizers claim it was the place to be for bay area conservatives. they had some local candidates join them for their own commentary on all the discourse. >> third party candidate, excuse me. rfk jr, host of what he called a real debate from a studio in la. it was streamed on social media. kennedy blamed both former president trump and president biden for running up the deficit that's causing inflation. >> president trump came into office promising to balance the budget. instead, he spent more money in office than every president in united states history combined. as in, biden is will beat him. he's already run up $6.3 trillion in debt, and by the time he leaves office, he'll have run up more than president trump in his. >> analysts say the debt under each administration was due to both partizan and bipartisan policies. kennedy failed to qualify to join the presidential debate in atlanta. his economic policy proposals include raising the federal minimum wage and

expanding free child care. abc news fact checked both biden and trump's claims during the debate. you can find that, along with reaction from the republicans and democratic party all on our website. abc seven news.com. >> happening today oakland city council is set to hold a special meeting to pass its budget. it comes as the city faces one of the biggest deficits in its history. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez is here with us. and gloria, this is complicated by the fact that the proposed budget is based off the sale of the oakland coliseum, and it's not even a done deal yet. >> that's right. amanda. and to buy them time, council members say they will likely ask for an extension until june 30th. without the coliseum sale, there are $63 million in potential budget cuts, mostly to the general fund. in may, oakland mayor xiang tao submitted a proposed budget which includes more than $100 million from the sale of the oakland coliseum property. but on tuesday, the finance department submitted a revised budget proposal that does not include that money because the sale is not final.

oakland city council member janine ramachandran says she is unsure if the coliseum sale would close by september of 2025, which she says is needed to adopt the budget. that includes those funds. >> investors are going to want to take their time and be wise before they put that much money out here. >> and she says the forecast is at oakland will face a deficit for the next five years. potential cuts could include 100 police jobs by freezing positions, closing four fire stations and some funding cut to violence prevention programs. so while the oakland city council special meeting to pass its budget is scheduled for today again, council members may be asking for an extension. live in the studio, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> a north bay principal is facing charges this morning for failing to report a coach's alleged relationship with a minor. this week, american canyon principal andrew goff was charged with a misdemeanor. prosecutors say he violated his responsibilities as a mandated

available through one provider, and the lawsuit says the league sold it at an inflated price. >> the deal that sunday ticket and the nfl had always struck me as unfair. >> robert freund practices e commerce law and says this subscription was hurting consumers. >> the prices are just thrust upon them. here's the deal. take it or leave it. and that's really exactly the point of why antitrust laws exist. >> those consumers include noah roberts, who works at little shamrock around the corner from mucky duck. he says the sunday ticket subscription was not the best for their business. >> you want to be able to have every game on and then when one league just charges in insane amount of money, your hands are tied because yeah, you have to put it on. and then two, you're losing money. so what do you do? do you lose the fans? do you you know, not sell beer. what do you do? >> the league now has to pay over $4 billion in damages. the owners of mucky duck did not want to comment because the nfl is planning on appealing this decision. they said in a statement we will certainly

contest this decision as we believe that the class action claims in this case are baseless and without merit. but until that appeal goes through, those we spoke with say what mucky duck did is a win for sports bars and consumers everywhere. >> i think it's awesome that they took it on themselves. represents the inner sunset, represents san francisco, and then also to just, you know, promote the entire country, you know, win that war. and it just represents the neighborhood bars everywhere, a neighborhood bar were watching a game should not come with a heavy price tag in san francisco. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. >> upwards of a million people are expected at san francisco's pride parade this sunday. the state of pride was a topic of the second annual human rights summit at the commonwealth club yesterday. abc seven is the official media sponsor. there were conversations about racial justice and the fight against anti-trans legislation. >> so the state of pride, you know, is very complicated. question and answer i think we do need to recognize our roots in our history and remember why we do it, but also we can

>> i'd say the slow start, but a good and strong finish. and i think that what's most important is we saw an extraordinary contrast between the former president and the current president. >> biden apparently losing his train of thought minutes into the debate with the covid, excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if we medicare, republicans pouncing, the democrats are going to have plenty of thinking to do after tonight, the biden campaign, responding to the criticism, saying he was fighting a cold, calling it an off night, adding president biden is the only person who has ever beaten donald trump. he will do it again. >> i think we did well. >> in the first of two scheduled debates, biden and former president trump sparring over issues including abortion rights. >> no politician should be making that decision. a doctor should be making those decisions. if i'm elected, i'm going to restore roe v wade. >> every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted. it brought

candidate's performance and how it will weigh on voters minds going forward. >> joe biden, president went in to debate donald trump. the idea was to best trump. he walked out with triggering a debate within his own party about whether he should continue being the candidate. it's being openly discussed tonight. that is not a way you want to walk out of a debate. no matter. that is not the republicans questioning whether you should be up there. it's your own party, members of your own party. now, a lot of this is backroom chatter right now. we'll see if it manifests itself. but, you know, there is a difference between being a politician and an elected official and being a candidate. you can be a capable president or a capable mayor, but you can also be a not a bad candidate. and tonight, joe biden was a bad candidate. donald trump was not a great candidate. you could say he was a bad candidate. but the trump that walked in there with a snarl on his face is the donald trump that we've seen on television and radio for the past eight years. there was no new surprises. the joe biden

that walked out there. and for many people, that was their first look at him after issues came up about his age and what they saw was off putting to say the least. >> and he says biden needs to work on his ability to connect with people instead of just listing off statistics of his presidential wins. today, vallejo rapper e-40 will be in north carolina for a rally with president biden, first lady jill biden and rapper fat joe will also be there. the president is working to gain the support of black voters, after some polls show him underperforming. what the community that helped him win georgia in 2020. abc news fact checked both biden and trump's claims during the debate. you can find that, along with reaction from the republican and democratic parties, all on our website, abc seven news.com, the city of oakland considering millions of dollars in cuts as it faces a historic budget deficit, a special meeting set for today. >> abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez is here. gloria, one of the issues the city is still working on is finalizing the sale of the oakland coliseum. the mayor is

counting on that money, but they don't have it. >> that's right. reggie, this week the finance department submitted a revised budget proposal that does not include money from the sale of the oakland coliseum property. in may, oakland shengtao had submitted a proposed budget that included those $100 million from the sale. but that deal is not done. oakland city council member janine ramachandran says the forecast is that oakland will face a deficit for the next five years without the coliseum deal. there are $63 million in potential budget cuts, mostly to the general fund. cuts may include 100 police jobs by freezing positions, closing four fire stations and some funding cut to violence prevention programs. uc berkeley professor dan lindheim is the former oakland city administrator, and he says oakland's financial health may not be as dire as the numbers suggest. >> oakland has about 400 other funds, and so the other things

are not at difficulty. it's only the general fund. >> but professor lindheim says oakland's leadership, dating back several years, should have been more prudent in spending tax revenues that would offset periods of drops in revenue, such as now the oakland city council is set to have a special meeting to pass the budget today, but we're told that council members will likely ask for an extension until june 30th. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. we are learning more about the oakland firefighter who drowned at a san diego beach. we broke the story first on abc seven mornings yesterday. 25 year old kayden laphan was visiting the area for the california firefighter summer games. police say they responded to a report of a lost swimmer at pacific beach, near crystal pier around 2 a.m. thursday morning. they searched the area and two hours later, caden's body washed up. cayden's family is deeply embedded in the oakland fire department. his
