last april, and a dramatic explosion at yellowstone national park. >> look out. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil, and i'm kristen z. >> it is cool on the coast, but still hot inland. today is expected to be the hottest day of this week. >> yeah, it's killer out here. it's definitely killer. >> it's valley heat. >> it's hard, but as long as you stay hydrated and, you know, find cool spots every now and again should be fine. >> well, easier said than done. of course. we're sitting here in air conditioning, but people inland are dealing with triple digit temperatures in some places as the heat wave continues. >> abc seven news meteorologist lisa argen is here with a first look at the forecast. lisa. yeah it is hot. >> how about 108 in vacaville? 107 in fairfield. so we start with our excessive heat warning that continues throughout the day today and into your wednesday. but today is the hottest day. the advisories around the bay. no fog at the golden gate bridge. it is gorgeous in the city, breezy in the 70s, but oakland getting warm at 83. it's toasty on the

peninsula. and check out these numbers. well over 100 degrees for the cities inland. how about 104? in livermore? concord 102. there's at 107 in fairfield and those upper 90s in santa rosa. so we are looking at a warmer day. we said it was going to be warmer. how about nine degrees warmer than yesterday? so really with this high pressure ridge overhead, the air quality not great. but we do have a breeze out there. and that will continue to usher in some patchy fog overnight tonight. but look at the temperatures in the upper elevations. the oakland hills, 105. in the east, foothills 100 degrees. so with those lightning strikes in the sierra nevada, we're glad they're not close. the fog is going to creep back into the shoreline and we'll see temperatures still warm throughout the evening hours. we'll talk about tomorrow's last day of our heat and a much cooler weekend on the way. kristen. larry. >> lisa. thank you. in the south bay, a family is demanding accountability after the death of a 98 year old loved one following an attack in a nursing home.

>> the family says the nursing home could have prevented that attack. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes spoke with the family grandmother hug everybody and she was extremely witty, very, very funny. >> a family grieving the loss of their 98 year old loved one, vera harris, was a mom, wife, grandmother and great grandmother, while her youngest grandson, adam harris the second, will always remember the good times. he also can't forget the tragedy that took her from loved ones. >> just seeing my grandmother in that condition will. it haunts me every night. >> i can't sleep according to a felony complaint filed by the santa clara county district attorney's office, vera was attacked on december 13th, 2023, at her nursing home. mission. skilled nursing and subacute center in santa clara. the attacker, her 79 year old roommate. the family said they were called hours after the attack and had to push for her to be taken to a local hospital. >> and as soon as i saw her condition, i saw my grandmother with bruises, bleeding, swollen eye, broken teeth. i mean, it was very, very brutal and

disgusting and it broke my heart and immediately i knew my grandmother was not going to make it. >> vera perez died a couple of days later. court documents show that that roommate also attacked someone months prior in april. vera's family have now filed a civil lawsuit against the nursing home, its parent company and hospice partner. she was very vulnerable and they put her with somebody that was extremely dangerous as we've seen. we reached out to the nursing home and have not heard back. in a statement to our media partners, the mercury news, when the roommate was charged, it said that it was saddened and shocked by recent events. it went on to say that they could not comment further, since the matter is in litigation. attorneys say that while the family is seeking compensatory damages, the first thing they want to bring is awareness. >> if it happens at a nice high end care facility like mission skilled, owned by covenant care, a massive corporation. what? how's it like at lesser, less expensive facilities? less sophisticated facilities? so there's a problem out there. >> criminal charges were brought against the 79 year old, who is accused of attacking vera. the

court proceedings are suspended, though, over questions surrounding that person's mental competency in santa clara. zach fuentes abc seven news. >> so sad. vacaville police officer killed in the line of duty earlier this month has been given a hero's sendoff. officer matthew bowen's casket was brought into the father's house church in vacaville for a funeral service attended by hundreds. this morning, bowen was conducting a traffic stop when his motorcycle was hit from behind by a woman accused of driving under the influence of drugs. bowen leaves behind a wife and two sons during today's service. a relative read what she called a love letter to officer bowen from his wife. >> you were the calm to my storm patient and full of grace, gentle yet so strong. >> the service was followed by a lengthy procession through vacaville, allowing the public to pay their respects along the route to officer bowen's final resting place. a homeless

encampment near the bay bridge toll plaza is getting cleared out. >> the city is providing temporary shelter for those forced to leave, but some advocates say the city is not meeting their needs as required by law. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has more. >> michael perillo helped direct this motorhome out of an encampment near the bay bridge toll plaza. perillo and others were ordered by the city to clear out by tuesday. >> there's no water out here. there's nothing out here, there's no trash, there's no restrooms and all. that's where we're going. >> so pulo has lived here for the past year, but like others, has agreed to city terms to leave. he's thankful the process has been peaceful. >> we're smart to not, go in and, try to use force to establish some type of rule of law. you can't have a war on homelessness. what we're having is a problem in investment, lack of investment in affordable housing. >> housing is creating the homelessness, though some have been living at the toll plaza beach for more than a year, the sense of urgency to clear out the encampment comes from the san francisco bay conservation and development commission, or

bcdc, which oversees the bayfront. it threatened to fine oakland $30,000 if people didn't leave. bcdc says it opened an investigation after receiving complaints. >> the odds of going from being unhoused to being in permanent housing go astronomically up. when a person accepts those kinds of services, and we're really grateful to see some progress there today, the city says some of the 8 to 12 people living here found their own place, but it did secure temporary shelter for those who need it. >> however, homeless advocates say it's not enough. no are they are they communicating with them in the way that they need to be communicated with, or are they bringing them some cheetos and a bottle of water and saying they're doing outreach? andrea hanson is director of where do we go, which advocates for the homeless. she says that cities are required by law to provide adequate services. that means not just having a shelter bed, but also to meet the needs of the people. >> there's millions of dollars going into this program. how come no one did these assessments when they went out in may? each person said, we want to be housed, but we have very serious chronic disabilities. they told the city

that their outreach workers, many housing advocates, believe that last month's u.s. supreme court ruling, which makes it easier to clear out encampments, will lead to more displacement. >> and in cities that aren't ready to handle the problem in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. what the are you doing? >> the city of san francisco is taking action against the owners of the towing company seen in this viral video. it shows a tow truck trying to hook up a car that was just stopped at a traffic light with two people inside. >> now the city is revealing the owners of that company have a history of illegally towing vehicles. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena spoke to the city's attorney on what they found and what other companies are also being investigated. luz. >> that's right. >> larry, we have been following this story for months, and today the city attorney is officially banning a company named auto towing from doing business with san francisco. the city said it has enough evidence to prove an

extensive list of illegal tactics. almost a year since the san francisco city attorney's office began proceedings against auto towing, citing this company violated multiple state and local laws by illegally towing vehicles from private property. now, the city is taking a step further. >> we provided enough evidence such that auto towing could be permanently barred from doing business with the city for the next five years. >> during their investigation, the city attorney's office found that the owners of auto towing are also the owners of two other towing companies. one of them is called specialty towing. in april, we reported on a towing company with the name specialty towing that tried to hook a vehicle waiting at a red light. >> there was a towing truck that had the name specialty towing that was engaged in what appeared to be criminal activity by attempting to take a car with individuals in it. that investigation i know, is ongoing. >> we went to auto towing in san francisco's bayview

neighborhood. their lot had two cars inside, but no one was in there. all right. so people in the area are telling us that they haven't seen anyone from auto towing here in months. we tried calling the number undersign. i'm luz pena with abc seven news. i'm looking for the owners of auto towing, a general operator said auto towing hasn't paid for the operator's service in months. turns out the supervisor for this district is well aware of this company. >> they would take cars from the address of record to another site, and people would have to take longer to be able to locate their vehicles, which in the towing world increases the cost for you to get your car back. >> supervisor walton said there are several towing companies in san francisco known to perform illegal tactics. >> i'm glad that the city attorney has ended this practice for one towing company, and hopefully it resonates with the others. >> as we dug deeper, the city attorney confirmed the owners of auto towing are facing more than a ban from the city. in a

different case, the district attorney's office confirmed the couple has been charged with multiple counts in connection to welfare fraud. >> we'll see what happens with these other two affiliated companies based on criminal proceedings facing their owners. >> and regarding the case where you see that yellow truck with the specialty towing sign on it, trying to tow a vehicle with people inside the city attorney said that case remains under investigation. yet that company still suspended indefinitely from doing business with san francisco. luz pena, abc seven news. >> luis, thank you. a new ucsf study finds electric bike accidents are soaring all across the u.s, researchers found e-bike injuries have actually doubled every year from 2017 to 2022. e-scooter injuries rose as well by 45%. ucsf found injured riders wore helmets slightly less often than conventional riders, researchers say. this underscores the need for added safety measures. >> a terrifying explosion at

yellowstone national park, and we have the video. the lingering delays for travelers from last week's nightmare. computer glitch and the technology upgrade in oakland that big yellow and i made. yeah, is there any way that i can make it up to you? actually, you could help me promote my new $6 big deal meal. you think i could be bought, you son of a— hello. this is only showing in japan, right? dave's company just scored the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. high five! high five... -i'm on a call.

it's 5 years of reliable, gig speed internet... five years of advanced security... five years of a great rate that won't change. yep, dave's feeling it. yes. but it's only for a limited time. five years? -five years. introducing the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering 5 years of savings. powering possibilities. after careful review of medical guidance and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪

everyone's favorite curly fries, one of my famous tacos, a drink, and your choice of sandwich — all for $6. grab my big deal meal and go see marvel studios' "deadpool & wolverine," in theaters july 26th. welcome to jack in the box! the aftermath right here. rocks and dust everywhere with parts of the boardwalk just blasted to

bits. want to show you the moment that this actually happened. here. take a look. caught on video by park visitors at the biscuit basin trail, about two miles north of old faithful. and you can see all that boiling water and steam going up into the air and then raining down on tourists. the national park service says. thankfully, nobody was hurt. but you don't want to be standing right there when this goes up. the us geological survey says explosions like this are actually fairly common at yellowstone. >> now to frustrated airline passengers, especially those on delta, as more flights are canceled in the wake of that global it meltdown last week, abc seven news reporter lena howland has more on the ongoing issue. >> long lines, confusion and a whole lot of waiting. >> it's ridiculous. you should have a business up and operating back in time. i just wish i we'd given up and stayed home. >> other airlines got back to normal in the days after friday's outage, but delta wasn't so lucky. the airline canceled 950 flights on monday. more than a quarter of its schedule. the department of

transportation is now opening an investigation into the company. transportation secretary pete buttigieg said on x, all airline passengers have the right to be treated fairly and i will make sure that right is upheld. this is our fourth cancellation. >> so now we're in this big long line. >> sarah lassig, her husband and their two year old are just trying to make it to salt lake city for a family reunion. >> i've tried the phone. i've tried online. like the other day i was on the phone for 2.5 hours and nobody ever answered right? so, so the last two times we've been to the airport, we just didn't leave the airport until we talked to a human, because there's no other way. it seems to get rebooked. >> delta airlines says they are fully cooperating with the investigation. in a statement, they said delta teams are working tirelessly to care for and make it right for customers impacted by delays and cancellations. as we work to restore the reliable, on time service they have come to expect from delta. that's little comfort for athena lindsey from sunnyvale. her two children were

supposed to fly unaccompanied to detroit on saturday, but as of tuesday, delta's bookings for unaccompanied minors were still suspended. >> so they need to really, honestly make sure communication is very clear when they have an unaccompanied minor. so i get that. and as a parent, i want my kids to be appropriately taken care of. but i just wish they would have told me. >> delta says customers who have incurred hotel meal or transportation expenses may be eligible for reimbursement, though the transportation secretary says the airline has already been warned about reimbursement rules at sfo. lena howland abc seven news. >> another rally today against a ballot measure to close the san francisco great highway to traffic. keep it open, keep it open, keep it open. more than 200 protesters delivered letters to city hall asking officials to withdraw the plan to close the great highway and divert cars to sunset boulevard, but opponents are worried about that traffic

being pushed into their neighborhoods. >> this legislation provides nothing except closing that road. if we're going to have a park, let's fund it. if we're going to have close a road, let's figure out where the traffic is going to go. and i think it's irresponsible to place this on the ballot as a thumbs up, thumbs down, open close issue. >> opponents of the ballot measure want to keep the current setup. with the great highway closed only on weekends, that arrangement is set to end in 2025. >> i tell you that area is probably one of the few comfortable spots around the bay today. >> it's probably a lot cooler than what we're seeing inland. lisa. >> yes, that's right. in fact, it's pretty nice in the city with breezy conditions. northwest winds up to 21 miles an hour in san francisco, but elsewhere. yeah, it is the hottest day out there. and we talked about it at the top of the show, showing you, again, those lightning strikes in the mountains there and in nevada. so nevada. so that is some good news that it's not close to home because we have the marine layer

pretty much wiped out. it will be returning though. patchy fog tonight. and it will be expanding and bringing much cooler weather with this system offshore by thursday. there's a look at the fog. it's coming back tonight and we'll look for slightly cooler conditions for your wednesday. as we look outside. air quality moderate. it is in the 90s on top of mount tam 91, hayward 70 downtown 83, in oakland with 86. in redwood city. san jose 93. what a view here from our exploratorium camera. so pretty. but temperatures in santa rosa pretty warm, 98 degrees. look at that. 107 by the delta 104 livermore 102. in concord. so with this high pressure ridge beginning to ease in a system of queuing up offshore, this will allow for that marine layer to expand, more breezy winds and a relief just slightly beginning tomorrow, 9% relative humidity in fairfield right now, 14% in livermore. so with those high temperatures, the atmosphere really dries out. and look at san rafael 19%. so as we get

into a more expansive low cloud deck, that will bring up the moisture content in the air, and that will bring back some more typical july weather. in fact, going below average over the weekend. wednesday. some cooling inland, breezy, more fog by friday. that's a good 10 degrees drop, even more so for some of us. and then a cool start to the weekend as we take a look at livermore with about 100 tomorrow, 4 degrees drop on thursday, and then look at friday another ten degrees. saturday looks to be the coolest day. maybe some mist and drizzle to start out and then temperatures pretty comfortable for the second half of the weekend, so check it out for your wednesday. we still have numbers, still quite hot in the upper 90s here for livermore, antioch, 100 and fairfield. overall, though, the north bay is going to cool off. we'll see numbers in the upper 80s for the warmest locations. nice day in oakland at 78. fremont is pretty toasty. 9085 palo alto and another gorgeous day downtown. mid 60s with the fog coming bac. half moon bay. the accuweather

seven day forecast not as hot for your wednesday. the heat eases into thursday. here comes that cooling trend on friday. and then boy, it is going to be an about face of 180 over the weekend. then by early next week, we're kind of getting back into that usual july range. >> so i like the way you phrase it, you know, toasty, not sweltering face melting heat. >> well, you know, there's ac, there's pools. i figure, you know, our east bay friends haven't figured it out. >> thank you. >> lisa feels that way. all right. later this hour, wrexham co-owner ryan reynolds. you know, other gig, maybe his day job as star of the new deadpool and wolverine. >> you got a lot of jobs and silicon valley's involveme (woman) oh, come on! come on!

help bridge communities. >> today, we're taking a closer look at how ucsf is building a healthier bay area through its asian health institute. >> san francisco in the bay are, we have a large asian american community and almost half of them are immigrants from other countries with language barrier. that puts the asian health institute in a unique spot. we can help this community and make

the bay area a better place for them. >> the asian health institute at ucsf is a comprehensive program that provides education, advocacy, and linkage to care amongst different specialties. >> i think it's a great opportunity to reach this population that's been underserved. >> we all experience some level of health care disparities just like other minority groups. and these disparities are different because of the different lifestyle issues, different genetics and cultural practices. >> it works mostly to kind of advocate for certain conditions of the heart of the liver that disproportionately impact the asian community. i see any patients with liver disease, and that could be a whole spectrum of liver disease from things that are more common, like fatty

liver or hepatitis b to the more severe end of the spectrum of liver disease, which would include cirrhosis or liver cancer, including people who might need a liver transplant. >> there's a lot of untreated hypertension in the asian population, and that, of course, leads to heart attacks and strokes and heart failure. and that's a huge need where it's not even being screened and looked for blood pressure checks, regular follow ups, even seeking care. many patients don't even have a primary care doctor. my studies are on sudden cardiac death and i partner with our medical examiner to investigate all these sudden deaths, and it's been heartbreaking to hear how many people have never even sought care until their heart disease has progressed to the point that it presents as a sudden death. >> why is the heart and the liver is because they mean precious treasures in the asian

culture. so it goes very well with clinically what we need for those areas. >> it's nice sometimes to be seen by people who might look like you, who might speak your same language, and then also being able to get support from other staff members. so it's nice to have not just language, but also the cultural sensitivity. >> there's an element of minimizing, of symptoms or ignoring symptoms or being fearful of, you know, bad news. i think sort of give them information to effect better health outcomes. we want to help the asian community to have excellence in health care and also accessibility to health care at ucsf, which is a great medical care center, actually is one of the top medical centers in the nation. what i like to do is provide patients with knowledge and give them the choice. and i help to educate them on the pros and cons of all. all things. and i think the

most rewarding is when i see that they trust me to help their loved one and them. and that's the ultimate sort of gratification. >> to learn more about the asian health institute at ucsf, we have a link for you at abc7 news.com. >> so the next building a healthier bay area segment sponsored by ucsf, will focus on ucsf's hereditary cancer clinic. you can see that story next tuesday on abc7 news at four. >> coming up now, a plan to modernize the oakland police department old school systems could get a major, much needed upgrade if the city agrees to shell out millions. >> we've got some work to do, but we're not afraid of hard work. we like hard work, don't we? >> vice president kamala harris, officially now on the campaign trail, and she's using her bay

it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today. so tell me about your heart attack. our heart attack was... scary! never want to go through that again.

but we could. with heart disease, you never know. so we made changes. green juice. yeah, not a fan. diet, exercise... statins helped. but our ldl-c (bad cholesterol)-it was stuck! stuck! just couldn't lower it enough. and high ldl-c meant a real risk of another attack. so i said, "let's ask our doctor about repatha." what can i say? listen to your heart. repatha plus a statin dramatically lowers ldl-c by 63%, and significantly drops the risk of having a heart attack. do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions. signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. we won't let another heart attack set us back. and neither should you. listen to your heart. lower your ldl-c and your risk with repatha. talk to your doctor.

battleground state of wisconsin for her first official campaign stop since kicking off her race for president. harris's visit to milwaukee comes only days after the city hosted the republican national convention, and harris made it clear today that she plans to go after former president donald trump, pitching this election as one between a convicted felon and a former prosecutor. >> i took on perpetrators of all kinds predators who abused fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so

hear me when i say i know donald trump's type. >> harris's campaign set a new 24 hour record for presidential donations on monday, raking in more than $81 million as of this afternoon. donations have eclipsed $100 million. it's not just money that's pouring in for harris. the endorsements are following as well. today, the top two democrats in congress, senate majority leader chuck schumer and house minority leader hakeem jeffries, gave harris their official endorsement. every democratic governor is now backing harris, and so is actor and democratic mega-donor george clooney. now tomorrow, president biden will address the nation after announcing plans to step away from the presidential race. he'll deliver an address to the american people that will be tomorrow night at five, and we will carry that address right here on abc seven. the oakland police department is close to getting a huge technology upgrade. >> it's needed, but it could

cost taxpayers millions of dollars. >> a vote is expected on that issue tonight, and i-team reporter stephanie sierra is here now with a look at the problems that led to the push for new technology. >> yeah, we're just hours away from that vote. we're talking about a contract that may be worth more than $6 million. police argue this new software will enhance efficiency and help the city's flawed 911 system. yet the process to get here highlighted another multimillion dollar mistake. oakland is in dire need of new technology. it currently has the slowest 9-1-1 emergency response time in the entire state, and it doesn't help. the city has been crippled with software issues. >> let me be very clear. >> this is a huge underinvestment. >> years before the ransomware hack that leaked the city's network on the dark web, a crucial decision was made in 2017 to replace the city's 20 year old software. oakland city council authorized $12.8 million

to install a new 9-1-1 public safety. it system that included new dispatch and records management software from motorola, but a civil grand jury report found three years later, it was never fully implemented. in fact, both the software and hardware at the emergency communications center were labeled as so out of date. it is no longer supportable, the report added. opd was forced to buy replacement parts on ebay because they were no longer available completely unacceptable, unexplainable and certainly uh. >> we need to hold ourselves as governmental employees more accountable. >> staffing shortages and impacts from the pandemic were to blame. now it's been seven years and the problem still hasn't been fixed. but this week there's a push to change that. the city's i.t. department is recommending a new purchase with a tech company to replace opd's record management system with a modern software called mark 43. that's fully cloud hosted.

>> i would assume, though, why they're advocating for the utilization of cloud is because it could probably be accessed for more locations. >> if passed. it would cost taxpayers up to $6.1 million, but it's being heavily vetted in the wake of the city's massive 2023 data leak. >> the idea that any of these records are secure is naive, and we see these data breaches consistently. and so it's really put the population at a much more vulnerable place. according to a report obtained by the i-team last year, opd determined the motorola software was, quote, difficult to use, leading to increased report times and the issues were unable to be resolved. >> issues like that could have been avoided if the tech was properly vetted. we asked opd that very question did they determine this new software would be compatible with their systems? we were told the software was reviewed by several department subject matter experts to gauge efficacy. opd also visited a local law enforcement department who is

currently using mark 43 to obtain their feedback, which was positive. opd may also acquire a new $27,000 subscription with gladiator forensics to collect and analyze, call, record data. police say it would help arrest wanted suspects and enhance criminal investigations. now, state privacy law would still require opd to have a warrant in order to access that data. as far as this potential new $6 million contract, there's still questions about staffing that 2023 grand jury report equated getting it back to functional level levels as trying to turn a supertanker. now, that was a direct quote that sounds ominous. >> yeah, exactly. >> pretty dramatic. but you know, they have made efforts to improve those numbers. but the main point here is the fact that taxpayers don't want what happened with that $12 million purchase to happen again with this contract. right? >> okay. so you said that vote is happening tonight. at what time? >> at 6:00. so we'll be we'll be

tracking it. >> all right. thank you steph. absolutely >> in san francisco a new plan to help fight the shortage of police officers. the board of supervisors today approved a deferred retirement option program. the change would allow officers to earn additional retirement compensation in exchange for agreeing to perform neighborhood patrol or investigative work. the number of full time sworn police officers in san francisco has dropped from more than 1800. in 2019 to about 1500 right now. >> could artificial intelligence lead to a basic income for everybody and the color of the summer, and how it's helping

when we're young, we're told anything is possible... ...but only a few of us go out and prove it. witness the greatness of anna hall on a connection worthy of gold: xfinity mobile. only xfinity gives you the most powerful mobile wifi network, with speeds up to a gig in millions of locations. and right now, xfinity internet customers can buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. get the fastest connection to paris with xfinity.

according to some silicon valley entrepreneurs. abc news reporter andrew dymburt has a closer look new insight into whether a universal basic income could one day be sustainable. >> it's from a study conducted by sam altman, the ceo of openai, who has warned about major job losses across certain industries. as artificial intelligence grows more powerful, the speed of the change that may happen here is the part that i worry about. >> the most. >> altman study gave 1000 low income people $1,000 per month over a three year period. it was free money, no strings attached. altman study found people mostly spent the extra money on basics such as food, rent and transportation. the largest increase in their spending was to help family and friends with their bills. many people also

put money in the bank on average. with the extra money, they worked about one hour less per week. the research was conducted amid concerns that artificial intelligence will eventually make millions of jobs obsolete, leaving many people scrambling to find new ways to make a living. >> although it has been true that the jobs changed a lot, some jobs even go away, and i'm sure we'll see a lot of that here. >> critics dismissed the idea of a universal basic income as un-american, comparing it to socialism, saying it would lead to dependency and suffocate innovation in the economy. but tech industry titans including elon musk, twitter co-founder jack dorsey and the so-called godfather of artificial intelligence geoffrey hinton, supported. >> interesting. so i know kristen sze andrew yang, like four years ago you were interviewing him and he was talking about this and everybody was like, what? >> oh, yeah. he said, i was going to, you know, get rid of all these jobs. and then that's why we need the universal basic income. and i just looked at him like, what? you're crazy, dude, that was four years ago.

>> yeah, yeah, he was too far. way, far ahead of his time. dan i guess the only hesitancy i would have is i don't know how fast, like, like altman was saying. i don't know how fast ai is really going to be wiping out all these jobs. and i would not want the complacency for everybody to think, you know what? i'm just going to be sitting back here and waiting for that free cash, right? >> yeah. that's the part that's, you know, some critics would say is un-american. but, you know, i think the pace is going to increase exponentially. so i think, you know, it's already starting to improve and to encroach in our daily lives in, in new ways. and i think that's going to accelerate. so i think there will be a lot of job losses. but we've said that this is, you know, this is profound change with ai. but we've said that over the years for, you know, the industrial revolution was going to take jobs away. we've said this many, many times, the information age was going to take jobs away. and it did, but it also created new jobs. and as far as the universal basic income, you know, in the 30s when they created social security and in the 60s, mid 60s, i think when they came up with medicare, people said the same thing. it's socialism. it's un-american.

>> so i guess i shouldn't just plan on a life of playing pickleball or like, gardening or something. thanks, dan. okay. a relic of a bygone era may have helped save people in a scary crash. surveillance cameras caught the whole thing. this is in milwaukee. you see that white car flip and roll over two pedestrians? amazingly, they're not seriously hurt. an old payphone pedestal may have blocked the car just enough to save those pedestrians from the full force of the crash. lisa, what's a payphone? yeah exactly. that's asking. >> that's exactly what they say. a payphone and dial phone. they don't know what any of that stuff is, but right there, it's also good for taking pictures, right? when you're in london, getting in that phone booth. yes, yes, yes. >> yeah. you know, i slowed that video down about an hour ago just to watch it. and, you know, you could hardly see the two people, but it's incredible that they weren't seriously injured because that car was coming. they knocked them out of the way. but, i mean, it was a question of inches.

>> yeah. yeah. i mean, just inches from a terrible tragedy. >> yeah. they were quite fortunate. and maybe we need more payphones. that's what we need. >> that's always we know when you look back at old shows from the 70s, that's what daetz a show to me. when you see the police detective, stop and get out and go to a payphone. you know, what about those huge early cell phones with the. >> oh, yeah, this was absolutely the big brick. >> brick. a new york bookstore is offering readers a sweet or sour deal. sweet pickle books buys used books in exchange for jars of pickles. the bookstore offers three kinds of kraft pickles, all made using the owner's recipes. the owner says her dream was always to sell books, and she settled on pickles as a way of paying homage to her jewish heritage. so would pickles get you into the bookstore or would be some other food item? lisa oh, absolutely. >> i love the library, i love books, and i love pickles, so i would be a very intrigued and an old recipe. sounds fun. i'm in. >> i'm the same. i love books and i do love pickles. all kinds

of varieties. so, you know, i, i and olives as well, i have to say, but they're just delicious and i think they're reasonably good for you. >> are you a sweet or a sour man, dan? >> probably mostly. mostly sour, but i do like sweet pickles too. >> okay. >> yeah, you guys, i love that idea. but honestly, i'm a little worried about pickle juice being spilled on the books concerned. i don't know if it's practical, but it's such a cool idea. okay yesterday we told you about brat summer. now it seems the viral trend has an official color. brat green is described as a ready for this retina. singeing chartreuse. >> is that good for you? >> i don't know it right there on the official page for vice president kamala harris's campaign, kamala hq put up the brat style banner after pop star charli xcx proclaimed kamala is brat. >> that is a good thing. even the i-team's stephanie sierra look is brat cool. did you see her dress? just a few minutes ago? looking way cool. mom

>> i guess stephanie is brat now too. >> she's always ahead of the can we read that? >> didn't we used to just call it neon neon green, neon green or neon pink? neon >> i have to admit, the fashion icon that i am, i did not have the slightest clue what chartreuse was. i thought it was something closer to lisa's dress color. right, but what? well. >> i'm sorry, what about aubergine? >> larry, are you familiar with aubergine? >> yeah. no, i'm not, i'm not. i'm a very. dan, you know, i'm a basic man. you know, i'm very, very simple person. >> do you know what prussian blue is, larry? >> no. tell me it's kind of like your tie, but darker. >> like deeper. >> my tie, i think, is teal. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, it has to be deeper, darker. >> but, yeah, you guys are matchy matchy. yeah. >> that's true. yeah it happens, it happens. >> yeah. now you're going to think that i dictated larry's wardrobe. that is not true. there's no truth to that. dictate other things. maybe >> but do you think they believe that, >> i don't know.

of sea lions. just relaxing, soaking in the sun and playing while the tourists watch. but you see right here, just on the right side of your screen, there's only a few of them. they're thinking, thank goodness, there went the neighborhood. i've got my own territory back. you know, that's because all of their buddies left. it's mating season and

they've headed south. tourists in san diego are now getting a wild close encounter. reporter ryan hill has the viral video and some tips. >> reporter i see you know a great beach for people to enjoy some la jolla cove beachgoers got more than sun, sand and surf over the weekend. >> you don't turn your back on the ocean when there's large sea lions. >> a pair of sea lions seen here barreling across the beach, sending spectators darting away from them. >> the perception is that that sea lion is chasing after people, and that's not it at all. >> eric ocean is with seaworld san diego. he tells me around this time, it's breeding season for sea lions, and they all have territories, and some of them don't have a territory. >> so the smaller guy that you see running through the crowd of people is the one who is just looking for a spot to breed. and the bigger male that you see come in at the very end of that video is the one who's territory he was trying to take over, and it coincides with the top tourist season.

>> but the sea lions attract a lot of tourists. >> robin davidoff is with the sierra club seal society, a group that's been advocating for better protection of the sea lion pups at the cove on saturday, i was there for a different tour. >> busses stopped at different times and let off 50 foot plus fee. people who then came down took their photos with the sea lions and then after 20 minutes left. so it's about getting the word out that you need to keep a distance when it comes to this latest incident, ocean reminds people there's federal protections with guidelines requiring people to stay 50 yards away from the animals. >> that's probably the biggest message that we can get across right now is give them some space, let them do their thing that way. you know, the sea lions don't feel like they're trapped in by by a bunch of people, and the people don't have to worry about panicking, trying to get out of the way. >> sea lions are protected under federal law via the marine mammal protection act. these are wild animals in hawaii. the hawaiian monk seals are protected. if you go near them or touch them, it's against the law. so and you know, the people

are very protective. yeah. >> just keep your distance for your safety and theirs. >> yeah. absolutely. it's wild animal. yeah. >> all right. the weather kind of makes you want to be at the beach, though, right? >> absolutely. lisa. it is sweltering. yeah. >> and, you know, if you were at the beach today. good for you because it was beautiful out there. but we still have our excessive heat warning inland for another day. and our advisory around the bay, the santa cruz mountains, north bay, interior mountains. and look at the current numbers. right now we are 104 in livermore, 107 by the delta, 100 up in santa rosa, san rafael and 93 in 83, in oakland. so certainly that breeze is helping us out around the bay. we'll have patchy fog move in tonight, but overall it's a cooler day tomorrow. san francisco in the low 70s, oakland upper 70s 91 for you in san jose and in our inland valleys. upper 90s to near about 100 so 60s and 70s. tonight it's going to take a while to cool off. and then highs tomorrow ranging from the 80s around the bay to the upper 90s inland. so that's better by about 5 to 7

degrees. and then we'll see the marine layer expand. the accuweather seven day forecast brings in more cooling. and as we get into friday, that's a dramatic drop. we'll be below average for the first part of the upcoming weekend. kristen we'll take that. thanks, lisa. >> nasa has released some stunning new images in celebration of the 25th anniversary of its chandra x-ray observatory. the space shuttle columbia launched chandra into orbit back in 1999. the 25 images are just a small sample of the nearly 25,000 taken since its launch. >> those are beautiful. all right, now to the odd couple of the marvel universe. >> it's a movie about friendship made by friends. and i think that you can feel that on screen. >> it's day two of deadpool and wolverine week up next, the
