valencia street have voiced concerns over the center bike lane and the way it's impacted businesses. >> now. north beach merchants are also concerned, even though the sfmta's plan for this area does not include a center bike lane. >> valencia was a really complex project and there were really complex needs, so we have responded accordingly with this. >> this is more of a planning effort, it's more long term. >> we spoke to sfmta's, project manager for the citywide bicycle network, the community driven initiative to build a long range citywide biking and rolling network in the city. ossorio said they're hearing from merchants before finalizing a proposal, and columbus won't be part of it. >> columbus avenue is one of those complex corridors where there's already a lot going on. >> for now, they have three scenarios scenario a really presents a highly protected network, so these are uh. >> these are bike lanes that are protected with permanent barriers. and some of the trade offs with a network like that is

4:10 pm
we're testing the decibel rating right outside your apartment and it says it's 70. >> yes, it's crazy. >> according to san francisco's noise and sound code, assuming the minimum ambient noise is around 45 to 55db outside a residential property, five decibels over, that is considered past the acceptable limit. >> it's like 27 on stuff. >> we checked all areas inside wilma's house and found the decibel reading was over the required limit on each floor and room of her home, reaching decibels in the high 50s to the high 60s. electrify america sent us the following statement, saying while our charging station meets all the city permit requirements, we have tried several options to mitigate the complaint of one resident regarding fan noise. >> electrify america told us they had fixed the problem. they had not. they didn't even attempt to fix the problem. they just let two days pass and turned it back on, electrify america added they're exploring
4:11 pm

4:15 pm
spot on twitter or x, whatever you're calling it these days, posts like this from today sharing stories of wisdom and success on x coming from salesforce chief digital evangelist. best title ever follow offshore. welcome back. thank you sir. yes thank you for having me. so last time you were here, i think it was for dreamforce. yes. and for the first time in recorded history, an author came on television live and did not want to talk about his book. so we specifically said, let's talk about boundless. and you said, no, i'm not talking about the book now. we're talking about this book. thank you. so you put out a boundless with henry king. it talks about business and how to break down the silos and the lack of communication, all that type of thing. and also the ai revolution that's coming now. it seems like you're optimistic about artificial intelligence while other other people are petrified. so why are you so optimistic? well, throughout my career, i've learned that the pessimist may sound smart, but it's the optimist that build the
4:16 pm
future. >> i like it, so i am optimisti. you know, us leads the world in terms of ai, innovation and investments. san francisco leads the us. in fact, san francisco is the capital of ai. 42% of all ai investments come from the bay area. salesforce is the largest employer in san francisco, and an ai crm company, the number one ai crm company. so as an employee of salesforce, i have the privilege to work with the best and brightest, most optimistic business leaders who are growing their companies, delighting their stakeholders. and we all recognize that this is electricity for the 21st century. the technology ai will have profound impact in terms of how we grow and compete in this hyperconnected knowledge sharing economy. >> if you want a couple of pessimists to join your meetings, kristen and i will come on in. we'll be happy to help. kind of show you the other side of this, which is the fear
4:17 pm
that ai is going to grow so smart. and we joke around here about you know, what happens when they realize that we are the problem. like the ai says vala. larry, one of you has got to go. i don't like my chances on that. so you know, we joke about activating skynet and, you know, the terminator and all that. so you have no fears about that? sure >> well, you know, any time we have new technologies, there's uncertainty and critical thinking and room for pessimism. but, you know, i'll give you an example of salesforce use of ai. we work with our ai council and employee feedback and our incredible cio, and we decided to activate 50 ai applications throughout salesforce. wow, those 50 applications in the last 90 days, larry has helped us save 50,000 hours of work. that's 25 man years of efficiency, productivity in just 90 days, across 50 apps. why this matters is this year, we believe 80% of employees across
4:18 pm
all industries will face burnout and stress. employees are tasked with doing work that's not meaningful, that doesn't bring joy to them. so one of the beauties of ai is it will give us opportunities to be more creative, to reflect more, and to create real value for ourselves and the communities that we serve. it's not the technology. technology over history has helped humankind achieve more. and we believe that, you know, with the right core values. this is why trust is our number one core value. at my company customer success is our number two. innovation is number three. we have guiding principles that ensure that new technologies does not take away the purposeful work that we have, the joy that we have, and the ability for us to create value at the speed of need. that's how you stay relevant and grow as an individual and as a company. >> okay, you know, the alarm bell goes off for me when i hear all the man hours saved, which is great, but that also could represent lost jobs for people
4:19 pm
because suddenly, you know, the ai is going to do it. we don't need you to do it. >> most of the research we have at salesforce and companies that we advise with, we believe i will create more jobs, more opportunities. think about all of the jobs that exist today that didn't exist, perhaps 15 or 20 years ago. uber driver, drone operator, cloud computing architect, social media managers. these didn't exist 20 years ago. you know, when we work with some of these incredible companies that are part of our ecosystem and the shared success core value that we have, where we ensure that when we introduce technology, it's guiding us to create an opportunity for us to create value. we believe business is the greatest platform for change and technologies like ai will not help have us drift away from our mission of creating a better quality life and workplace for ourselves and our customers. >> okay, only a little bit of time left. i really like one of the proposals that you have of giving various ais a score like
4:20 pm
accuracy score, kind of like yelp for artificial intelligence. is that being implemented in any way? >> absolutely. the language models that are used to power ai algorithms are being modified on a daily basis. as part of our ai research. again, salesforce has been on this journey for ten years. we were one of the most active companies investing in a. so and because trust is our number one core value, we're always looking at grading and identifying which technologies are helping us get to the grounded truth. we launched a $500 million fund last year to invest in startups who are building these technologies so that we can align these companies to our core values and our objective of using technology to create value. we'll continue to create we'll continue to assure accuracy and trust is our number one purpose and guiding principle moving forward. >> well, you make it sound exciting. it's great to have you back in. thank you so much. even
4:21 pm
though he's a celtics fan, you know, i didn't realize that until we started. but you know, it's nice to have you here. anyway. thank you so much. november 2022 steph curry and the warriors. >> yes, i do i do keep that in your mind varla. >> thank you so much for coming in. >> my pleasure. >> forgive him for being a celtics fan. >> yeah i know at least he reassured us that ai is not going to take our jobs.
4:22 pm
fifty years ago, i prayed this prayer, and it changed my life, and it can change your life. you see, i was just sick and tired of being sick and tired, and my life was in a mess. i just got on my knees one night and i said, "god, i've sinned against you. i'm sorry, forgive me." i said, "i believe jesus christ is your son, i believe that he took my sins to the cross and he died and shed his blood for my sins, and that he was buried and that you raised him to life, and i'd like to invite him to come into my heart right now."
4:23 pm
i prayed that prayer and god heard my prayer, and he forgave me. and he will forgive you, and he will cleanse you and change your life starting today. just pray this prayer. just say, "god, i'm a sinner, i'm sorry, forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him as my savior and follow him as my lord, from this day forward, amen." if you prayed that prayer, i want you to call right now that number that's on the screen. call that number and may god bless you.
4:24 pm
the microclimates, are in full effect today. >> absolutely. and kristen and larry, we have a wide range of conditions as well. so let's take a look at a live picture from pier 39 camera. good afternoon everyone. we are seeing a mix of sun and some low clouds as well. take a look at the satellite picture this morning. many of us, including the inland valleys, woke up to gray skies and the fog took its sweet time, pulling away from our inland valleys. eventually pulling away. and it is still sitting along parts of the coastline. although that marine layer is beginning to compress. certainly seeing the bigger picture here, high pressure is coming in, and as it does, we've noticed that the temperatures have come up across the region by 16 degrees in livermore, up
4:25 pm
17 in santa rosa and 17 degrees, 12 degrees warmer in san jose. tomorrow, inland areas are going to notice an increase in those temperatures even further. so we are expecting major heat risk inland. isolated spots shaded in purple extreme. so be careful out there even though there isn't much heat around the coastal areas and the golden gate, you can see it is pretty socked in right now. 68 in the city, 77 in oakland, 91 degrees right now in san jose. a live view from our walnut creek camera, and we are seeing plenty of sun out there. 95 in santa rosa. it is in the 80s from petaluma to napa, but triple digits fairfield and livermore right now sfo camera showing you the sun and a little bit of a breeze tomorrow. hotter day. inland coastal areas will remain mild and mainly sunny for a change, and we are expecting the weekend forecast relief from the heat arrives. one thing i do want to show you is our smoke forecast. while we're not expecting the smoke to reach the
4:26 pm
surface, certainly in the upper parts of the atmosphere, you may see some haze from time to time and some smoke at 7:00 tonight as smoke from the fires burning to our south starts to move in tomorrow morning could be a little bit heavier with the wind coming in from the south, so keep this in mind going into the evening hours. and speaking of evening tonight, temperatures are not going to fall very quickly inland. still in the 80s and 90s at 815. but along the coastline 50s and foggy as we head towards the late night hours, still warm inland. and then tomorrow morning the fog footprint is going to be mainly at the coast and just parts of the bay, not all the way into the valleys. quick clearing, temperatures rising by noontime. we are looking at even hotter weather for our inland communities, but along the coastline. don't worry, we'll keep you in the 60s. your temperatures first thing in the morning, 50s, 60s tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. we are looking at a hot day 99 in san jose, 106 in morgan hill on the peninsula, 95, redwood city, 66. half moon bay, downtown san
4:27 pm
francisco 77 degrees. these temperatures above average triple digits. santa rosa, calistoga 99, and san rafael in the east bay 85, oakland 95, fremont. head inland and it's going to be baking 107 in concord, 108 in livermore. your accuweather seven day forecast. here's the silver lining. tomorrow is the hottest day. after that, the heat eases friday and then by the weekend we will get that cooler weather coming in, especially sunday. low 90s inland, low 60s, coast, closer to where we should be. larry and kristen. all right. >> thank you sandhya. >> well, we are seeing firsthand dangers of illegal fireworks. a man is in the hospital at santa clara valley medical center with burns after he was hit by a large firework on the 4th of july. his legs are now wrapped because of the severity of his injuries. and there's a large wound on his arm. the victim says he was in the alviso area with his wife when he saw the fireworks. >> we saw that they were working on pretty big things, right? so we started to go on the side to
4:28 pm
pass it and just just walk away. right and then in a in one second, that was it. you know, we were on the floor burn. i just i just looked at my wife. her skin was falling from her legs, wow. >> this is some of the video of the illegal fireworks. the victim says when they asked to call 911, people told them, quote, we don't do that around here. >> well, all right, coming up, the democrat dividing lines, i want him to do whatever he decides to do. >> donald trump is on track, i think, to win this election. >> i think i've amply answered my support for the president. >> the high stakes question should president biden run for

4:30 pm
4:31 pm
november. >> this is really a high stakes week for the president. all eyes focused on tomorrow. his first news conference in months. abc news reporter perry russom has the latest. >> reporter, democratic donor and actor george clooney now calling on president biden to drop out of the race with an opinion piece in the new york times. clooney, who hosted a fundraiser for biden last month, writes, most of our members of congress are opting to wait and see if the dam breaks. but the dam has broken. we can put our heads in the sand and pray for a miracle in november, or we can speak the truth. the biden campaign not directly responding to clooney, but pointing to biden's comments that he's not leaving the race. today more democratic lawmakers speaking out, worried about biden's electability. >> i am deeply concerned about joe biden winning this november
4:32 pm
because it is an existential threat to the country. if donald trump wins. >> new york congressman pat ryan posting on x joe biden is a patriot, but is no longer the best candidate to defeat trump. this morning, former house speaker nancy pelosi on msnbc. >> it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. we're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short. >> the president today at the nato summit. president biden, is nancy pelosi still behind you, sir? biden with a fist pump with his health being questioned. the president joking about his age today while meeting with union leaders. >> lot of you were there with me all the way back when i was a kid, and i'm only 42, but house minority leader hakeem jeffries asked if biden's decision to run is final. >> that's the question that you have to ask president biden. his decision has been well articulated in a variety of different ways throughout the last two weeks and new.
4:33 pm
>> today, we are learning senate democrats are meeting tomorrow afternoon. they are meeting with biden's senior advisers and campaign chairwoman. that's before his news conference. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> joining us now with more on this topic. abc seven news insider film material. we heard a lot of hedging going on there. let's start with nancy pelosi. not exactly a rousing endorsement of the president. what do you read into that? well i read into that. >> we have a very prominent democrat publicly stating it's time for the president to make up his mind. she didn't say he's made up his mind. and we're already there. let's go forward. what's interesting about the former speaker, now, current speaker emeritus is that she is the one voicing this. we're not hearing anything from the senate president, chuck schumer. he says he's behind joe biden. hakeem jeffries is sort of soft on that as well. so there are democrats out there that i talked to today that said they hope that whatever nancy pelosi said gets louder and said more often in the next couple of days, other people are talking
4:34 pm
as well, hollywood heavyweights and certainly big democratic fundraisers. >> rob reiner and george clooney asking biden to step aside. and of course, abc anchor george stephanopoulos was apparently caught on audio saying something to the effect that he couldn't serve another four years. biden, how much weight do you think these comments carry with biden, with democrats and with voters? >> well, there's three different groups there and two different topics that you've managed to bring up, which crystallized the situation. three different groups. we have the biden administration. that is the ultimate, say, one way or the other. and how this is going to go. then we have the democratic leadership, which really is sort of, they don't have a lot of weight. they don't have the weight that people seem to think they do. it's a freelance organization. there's no party elders that are going to go to the white house, knock on the door and sit him down, unless it is barack obama and bill clinton. and that's not necessarily in the cards. the third thing is there's a difference between what the washingtonians are saying and the people. i mean, most people just saw the debate. they see joe biden. they're already
4:35 pm
concerned about that. that's what it is. you can't talk that away. it's you either address it or or you try to talk it away. right now, they're trying to talk it away. it's not going to go away. the interesting thing between the clooney and the stephanopoulos remarks, i found, was george clooney was talking about joe biden as candidate, beating donald trump. stephanopoulos was talking about joe biden, president after the election and being able to serve the term. if you ask, most democrats would joe biden be able to serve four more years? that's a different question than the ones being asked now. right now, they're concentrating on the november election. they don't even want to talk about the second part. >> yeah, i mean, it's obviously very complicated. but this morning, governor newsom was asked about his support for the president, as well as his thoughts on george clooney's comments. let's take a listen to that. >> i think i've amply answered my support for the president and the support i saw on the ground was demonstrable, and that's where i am, and that's where i stand. a lot of people expressing their opinion, and i respect people actively participating in our democracy
4:36 pm
by expressing themselves. but i don't have any comment as it relates to george, who i've known for years and years admire and respect. and he's been an incredible supporter of democratic causes, democratic candidates for years and years and years. >> gavin newsom is joe biden's leading surrogate. that is a role that he took on prior to the debate. it is elevated his national profile and he's going to stick with that. there's no way he's going to go against joe biden. he's going to let joe biden make the decision. he also knows that if joe biden decides not to run for reelection, the right of first refusal will go to vice president kamala harris. so even if there is some sort of exit, it will likely be people will turn their attention to kamala harris. gavin newsom knows that he's out there being a team player for now, and he still has his eye on four years from now, which is one of the undertones of all this. how badly do you want to win? does it really serve your best interest right now? >> well, it's a very big week
4:37 pm
for the president as well as the whole country actually. phil thank you. okay all right. coming up, sleeping separately from your partner and what it means for your health and your relationship. plus a little french fry comfort but uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven for reducing td. most people saw results in just two weeks. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. only number-one prescribed ingrezza has simple dosing for td: always one pill, once daily. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts,
