6:03 pm
encourage people to vote. this november. he said he remains committed to finishing his term, focused on growing the economy and doing right by american families. all right, so let's dive a little deeper into what the president had to say tonight. yes. joining us now, abc seven news insider phil matier historical moment. phil, give us your first impressions. >> without a doubt, an historical moment in unprecedented times. and what we saw tonight was a president that was very i would say he was calm. some would say slow. he was reading from a teleprompter. at times. he stumbled. okay, let's be honest about it. he did not look at top form, but he what we got was what were one of the intentions. at least i would think with all the network coverage was to reassure the american people and the world that things are okay in america and in the white house and although he's leaving the race, he's in command of his faculties and he's commander in chief. i didn't hear a lot of that about, you know, how i'm here and where we're going. that way. what we got was we're here. and then a
6:04 pm
political stump speech, right? largely a stump speech about the upcoming election. but that's what he decided to deliver. it was a political statement because it was a political decision from him to withdraw. yeah. right. >> but and he did say, i will spend the next six months running the country and also campaigning gets here a little bit more about what the president had to say. watch this. >> the great thing about america is here, kings and dictators do not rule. the people do. history is in your hands. the power is in your hands. the idea of america lies in your hands. >> again, casting this race as between two very, very different approaches to running america. what wasn't in this speech, phi? >> well, didn't he say, let's take a look. first of all, we didn't get a reason for him stepping aside. we said he's passing the torch on. but why? >> he did not address his capabilities, obviously on purpose. >> right. or the polling or the movement from party leaders and such like that. okay. we can
6:05 pm
understand that. why go over that? that's what it's done. it was interesting he didn't mention the democratic convention and he didn't also mention the assassination attempt on donald trump. i mean, this is what america has seen. we've seen we saw the debate. we've seen an assassination attempt. we've seen an unprecedented transfer of attempted power. you know, to vice president kamala harris. they take it take the torch. we didn't hear that either, that this is we've never seen this is very brief. and none of that was addressed there. he made reference to trump being, you know, and we heard about dictators and such like that and political violence, but we didn't hear about how did the secret service get a 20 year old allowed on a roof and get a clear shot? these weren't addressed. so, you know, the good news is that americans are okay without that, we're going about our daily lives. we're watching tv tonight. we came home from work, we're going to have dinner. we're going to go to work tomorrow. we are a remarkably calm country for what's going on. >> well, and a lot happened all
6:06 pm
that in just ten days. >> don't forget, he was secluded for covid as well. that's right. so like i said, to come out of that and address the world in the country we're doing, i think, okay, where do we go from here? remains to be seen. >> i mean, we have, what, 100 plus days to the election? >> exactly. we do. and this was clearly a stump speech to put kamala harris in in the forefront and to be honest about it, most bay area democrats and stuff are already listening to her. they've already moved on to that. >> and he's made it very clear he will support her fully. campaign for her absolutely, 100% support. >> it is. and like i said, for i know that we're democracy is being tested, but i think so far we're doing okay on our day to day lives. all right. >> all right. thanks, phil, very much. >> all right. thank you. phil. abc network coverage of president biden. the decision addressed to the nation will air at 10 p.m. that is tonight, followed by abc seven news at 11. >> right now, let's focus on the upcoming election a little bit more. new cnn poll shows vice president kamala harris doing
6:07 pm
better against former president trump than president biden did earlier this year. trump holds a three point lead over harris in the poll. now keep in mind the same poll conducted in june showed trump with a six point lead over biden today. harris spent the day trying to mobilize black women voters, delivering remarks to the historically black sorority zeta phi beta in indianapolis. donald trump, former president, handpicked three members of the united states supreme court because he intended for them to overturn roe v wade. >> when i am president of the united states and when passes a law to restore those freedoms, i will sign it into law. >> a massive crowd showed up at bojangles coliseum in charlotte, north carolina, today to see former president trump. this was trump's first public rally since the assassination attempt, also his first event since vice president harris became the presumptive democratic presidential nominee three and a half years. >> lion kamala harris has been
6:08 pm
the ultra liberal driving force behind every single biden catastrophe. she is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office. we're not going to let that happen. >> mr. trump watched biden's speech tonight while on a plane after his rally tomorrow. trump is speaking at a conference in nashville, and there are new details out tonight about the actions of the accused shooter. in the hours and minutes before the attempted assassination of former president donald trump. tonight, officials say the gun seen in the officer's helmet video had a collapsible stock, making it easier to conceal and carry. also fbi director christopher wray told the house judiciary committee today the gunman flew a drone near the rally before mr. trump took the stage, was flying the drone around the area, not over the stage, i would say about 200 yards, give or take away. the
6:09 pm

6:10 pm
to meet privately with president biden and vice president harris tomorrow. >> he travels to florida to meet former president donald trump. on friday, outside the capitol, thousands of protesters made their presence known amid tight security. netanyahu had strong words for the largely pro-palestinian demonstrators. he said. they were being manipulated by iran on the streets. the visit ignited a new call for a cease fire. abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke to some bay area activists who are in washington and others who rallied in san francisco to lock him up, lock him up as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed congress, protesters took to the streets of san francisco. >> we are outraged that our tax dollars are funding the genocide of gazans. and it's being done in our name as jews and against, a defenseless palestinian population. >> at the same time, thousands
6:11 pm
protested netanyahu's visit in washington, d.c, among them oakland resident liv kunis berkowitz. >> netanyahu denigrated protesters as iran's useful idiots, and it's an utter insult to our movement for collective freedom, collective liberation and safety for all human beings. this is his fake news and his pro genocide agenda. talking >> samir arabi is with the arab resource and organizing center in san francisco, which also protested in d.c. i've been dreading this. you know, the fact that this war criminal is here speaking to congress, getting standing ovations, uh- asking for another round of weapons and financing to continue this genocidal war. it's a horror. it's absolutely a horror, he says. the protesters are also trying to seize on big shifts in american politics. >> mood is rage, but it's also, i think people feel like it's an opportunity, an opportunity to send a message to vice president kamala harris. >> they point to the undecided voters angered by the war in
6:12 pm
gaza, whom they think can still sway the election against democrats. and i think those people's position still holds right. and their ask is very clear, which is that the nominee for the democratic party should embody the values of that constituency base, realign herself with what the people of her party want, and the mass majority of americans want, they add. if harris plans to run as a prosecutor president against former president trump, they hope she applies the same standard to international law in san francisco, anser hassan abc seven news. >> this is the third and final day of the heat wave. the inland parts of the bay area have been dealing with this week, as that old ad campaign used to say, you deserve a break today and you get it. >> spencer christian is here with the forecast. >> that break is right around the corner and i appreciate the emphasis on final day. we still have our heat advisory in effect for parts of the bay area until 11:00 tonight. that would be the east bay hills and interior valleys, the santa clara valley
6:13 pm
and the east santa clara hills. but again, this is going to expire at 11:00 tonight. and the cool down begins tomorrow. right now we're looking at very warm conditions still in our inland areas, but tomorrow we'll see high temperatures in our inland areas that have been in the triple digits the last three days in the mid to upper 90s, in the warmest spots. further cooling will follow on friday and on saturday, with temperatures finally dropping below average for this time of the year over the weekend. all good news and i'll have more good news in my accuweather seven day forecast. a little bit later. >> dan and ama okay spencer, thanks so much. they say actions speak louder than words. how walking lake merritt could mean building a better bay area for oakland. >> plus, i don't know, like where to start because every day i was just fighting with them for adequate care for my father. >> the i-team with one family's story of leukemia. love and loss

hearing from the family of a man who died while in the care of a nursing home in east oakland. i-team reporter stephanie sierra has their plea for justice tonight. she is in the newsroom with the story. stephanie. yes, dan. >> the story told in this complaint is sadly a familiar reality among low staffed nursing homes. the allegations accuse this local facility of chemically restraining a man for, quote, convenience without any consultation from his doctor. and this lawsuit does claim it was a substantial factor that caused his death. >> i was hurt, i was scared lik,
6:17 pm
for him, it was just bad. >> kiyomi williams admitted her father orlando into windsor health care center of oakland following his leukemia diagnosi. now she's suing them. >> it was a horror movie. >> less than a month after his admission to the facility, her father was found dead in his be. after what this complaint alleges was reckless overmedication with sedatives and narcotics. williams allegedly faced untold pain, suffering and injury as a result of the reckless neglect and abuse from staff at the facilit, according to the complaint filed in alameda county, superior court. >> i was under the impression that it was a 4.5 facility, but when i got there, it was just totally unacceptable. >> on december 14th, 2022, several days after being admitted, the complaint alleges williams reportedly eloped from the building and his daughter
6:18 pm
found him by a nearby crosswalk. >> i made a big fuss about it. that's when you know, they start medicating him and every time i come there he was unable to talk. >> the facility allegedly never reported that incident to state regulators, which the complaint claims is required by state law. instead, the complaint alleged the facility secured a physician's order for ativan, a sedative and morphine narcotic, to prevent him from getting away. >> that's basically chemically restraining someone, but it's a it's a very, in compassionate way to deal with people, and it can be deadly, as it was in this case. >> the legal document also claimed during her father's entire stay at the facility, unqualified staff heavily dosed him with sedatives and narcotics without directly consulting with his doctor, which was required by the facility and the physician's order. >> large doses of ativan that was the ultimate cause of his his death and that's a horrible way to die. >> the i-team reached out to
6:19 pm
windsor health care center of oakland, along with some of its parent companies, for further comment, including the parent company's ceo, billionaire businessman shlomo rechnitz, who owns dozens of nursing home facilities across the state. but we have yet to hear back. the facility is part of a larger network of nursing homes that have been scrutinized in recent years, the complaint alleges. the company presents false representations and manipulates that five star rating system with respect to staffing and quality of care, according to care compare, a federal oversight arm for nursing homes. the facility has a four out of five star rating on medicare's website. >> we've got five current pending cases against him and his facilities, and that's one hallmark in all these cases is that they are significantly understaffed. >> now. there was another case out of sacramento county in 2020 that involved the use of ativan and the drugging of a patient. and while that particular lawsuit did not involve any of the defendants in this case, the
6:20 pm
outcome did result in a $42 million verdict. so we'll of course, be following this case closely. >> all right. thank you so much, stephanie. and we are following the story of a topic stephanie reported yesterday. oakland is now a step closer to a $6 million upgrade to a critical police department system. the city council's public safety committee did approve the plan to replace the police department's record management system with modern, cloud based software. the new system is being heavily vetted after oakland was hacked last year, the full oakland city council will take up the contract on tuesday. all right, let's go to the weather. >> it will not be the big chill. exactly, but it is cooling off a good bit. >> we'll take any chill. spencer >> compared to the heat we've had, it might feel like a big chill. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. you can see the shifting of weather systems. high pressure to our east is moving away a trough of low pressure to our north, bringing us a cooling onshore flow. and we're feeling that breeze right now with wind speeds at the surface generally about 20 to 25mph, that will be
6:21 pm
a big contributing factor to the cool down over the next several days. in fact, it's already cooling down despite the heat that lingers in the inland areas. you can see the 24 hour temperature change shows most of our inland areas anywhere from seven to about ten degrees cooler than they were yesterday, which indicates just how hot they were yesterday. 67 degrees in san francisco, right now, 73. in oakland, we have 81 at hayward, upper 80s at san jose and redwood city, 64 at half moon bay. looking northward, san jose center, san jose, santa rosa right now 82 degrees, 79 apiece at petaluma and napa, 94 at fairfield and right around 90 at concord. and livermore. so on we go to this heat advisory, which has been in effect since 11:00 monday morning. it expires tonight at 11 p.m, and there's still a risk of heat related illnesses in with overexposure to this kind of heat. but again, that threat will diminish as and disappear actually as that heat advisory is lifted overnight. look for low temperatures mainly in the upper 50s to low 60s near the coast in bay, mid to upper 60s in many warm inland areas.
6:22 pm
and highs tomorrow well still pretty warm inland. we'll see some mid to upper 90s in places like concord, antioch and livermore, but generally the cool down will be underway tomorrow and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. notice. the drop in temperatures on friday and saturday only mid 80s inland in the warmest spots on friday and saturday only up to about 80 degrees or lower, which is quite a bit below average for this time of the year. so cool for july going through the weekend. minor warming will occur early next week, but only bringing temperatures back up to the normal range for this time of the year, but nothing extreme at all. and no heat wave again for a while. yeah, a nice weekend. oh, yeah. thanks, spencer. >> all right. how much longer until delta airlines gets back to normal? following last week's crowdstrike outage
6:23 pm
6:24 pm
6:25 pm
nasdaq had its biggest single day loss since 2022. the nasdaq dropped 655 points. the dow plummeted 504. the s&p 500 is down nearly 129 points. the so-called magnificent seven tech stocks lost more than $750 billion in market cap today apple, alphabet, amazon, meta, nvidia, microsoft and tesla make up that group. >> tough day on the market. still tough for delta airlines

6:32 pm

balut, which is a filipino delicacy. the eggs, though, started to hatch after a shipping delay. there were 300 of them, about 100 survived. volunteers at the duck sanctuary are trying to raise 150 grand through a gofundme campaign. it had about $2,000 yesterday. now they are at nearly 9000. we have a link to this on our website, abc seven news.com, and we have an update on yesterday's hydrothermal explosion at yellowstone national park. >> the big biscuit basin will be closed for the rest of the 24th season to protect visitors. the area about two miles north of old faithful looks very calm today, but yesterday visitors raced to safety as a blast ripped apart the boardwalk and sent boiling water, steam and rocks into the air. the national park service says no one was hurt. the usgs says there were no detectable precursors to this event, so it really happened without warning. >> crazy to see. all right, let's get to our weather. in the
6:48 pm
end of the heat wave. >> we are so happy this spencer christian is back going to cool off a good bit. yeah. >> i've never, never been so happy to say the end is near the end of the heat wave that is looking at the satellite radar composite image. you see low pressure digging southward into our area. that's going to provide a cooling onshore flow, which is evident already with wind speeds at the surface up to 2520 six miles per hour. and that will be part of the pattern of the cooling trend over the next several days. and even right now, you can see it is several degrees cooler, even in those hot spots inland than at this time yesterday. so on we go with a look at current temperature reading 67 here in san francisco. oakland 7380s, low and upper 80s at hayward and san jose, 90 at redwood city, 64 at half moon bay. other temperature readings right now looking northward, 82 at santa rosa, upper 70s at petaluma and napa, 94 at fairfield, and right around 90 at concord. and livermore. and of course, we still have this heat advisory in effect until 11:00 tonight for the east bay hills, the east bay, interior valleys, santa clara valley, and the east santa
6:49 pm
clara hills. and as we go into the nighttime hours with mainly clear skies, but some low clouds beginning to develop near the coast overnight lows will be mainly in the upper 50s near the coast and low 60s just about everywhere else. highs tomorrow not quite so high as today, but still warm inland with a few mid to upper 90s, but around the bay shoreline we'll see upper 70s to low 80s and 60s on the coast. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. and although still warm inland tomorrow the cooling will continue. that starts tomorrow right on through the weekend. in fact, by saturday we'll see high temperatures below average, only up to about 80 degrees inland, about 70 around the bay. then there will be gradual warming going into early next week, but nothing extreme, nothing excessive, and certainly nothing out of the ordinary for this time of the year. very nice. >> nothing to complain about. >> i like that too. i like that, spencer. >> okay, anything to complain about on sports? >> larry no, everything's perfect. i really like your outfit with the paisley. the blue on blue. it's cold this morning. you look fantastic.

he's not doing any drills while he waits for a new contract. the surprise came when we learned that offensive tackle trent williams, perennial all-pro, he's a no show because of his contract. all right, here's the situation. williams is 36 years old, regarded as one of the best o linemen in nfl history. he's under contract for three more years, averaging about 25 million a season. he wants a raise to start with. and another big key here williams has no guaranteed money left on his deal. nfl contracts are not guaranteed. so you get hurt. and that's your problem. so this really does need to be resolved. let's bring in abc seven's chris alvarez. and to borrow a line from marshawn lynch ayaka's there so he doesn't get fined. but the tab for williams 50 grand a day. and that cannot be rescinded. chris >> yeah. larry i'm no mathematician, but stay with me here holding in. keeping your money is better than holding out, losing your money. that's that's a simple equation. uh-

one guy that is here, brock purdy, the starting quarterback entering year three. he is fully healthy and he is ready to go. first day of training camp. hey, maybe his quads do look a little better. bigger. he's called mini bosa with the quads, at least from kyle shanahan this time. fully healthy, no rehab from injury. brock told us today he's gotten stronger physically in the off season, but has maintained a focus on his agility and ability to throw the football. that's number one. the niners have played a lot of football with deep playoff runs and two super bowl appearances in the last five seasons. the hunger to finish with the lombardi trophy remains the ultimate focus. >> we have guys in this locker room that taste it and they want it. and you know, coming back, you know it was a heartbreak man losing that super bowl and the way we did it. the overtime, all that and how badly we want it for this fan base and this organization man. like we want it. you know just the way fred's acting george juice like these guys that have been in the league for a while. man. they're back ready like hungry. and i'm going to my year three. so i'm hungry. but i did the same thing i walked in, i'm like, how are
6:55 pm
these guys going to you know like seem or feel and you can feel it, man. they're hungry for it. and we're ready to do it for this organization. and the fan base. >> if you were wondering if these guys are ready, larry, that week, one game against aaron rodgers and the jets on the ninth can't come soon enough. of course you'll see it right here on abc seven. >> i was having a flashback watching the niners walk off the field to us in vegas, standing next to them, going, oh, it's bringing back the feeling. so anyway, let's move on while you're there, we're going to see what the rest of the world calls football. soccer to us wrexham versus chelsea at levi's stadium tonight. >> yeah that's going to be a lot of fun. it's about to kick off at 7:00. so to avoid a little bit of the heat we're staying inside. we're going to talk with rob mcelhenney the owner. he's got pushed to half time so hopefully bring that to you at 11. but i did talk to some of the players on the team to talk about that whole phenomenon. the show. welcome to wrexham. >> yeah, i don't think we think of ourselves as celebrities as such. but you know, i was here before the takeover, in the
6:56 pm
academy. so to experience the whole change and sort of lived that it's been, it's been a bit of a whirlwind. >> when rob and ryan bought the football club, the one of the aim was to see, you know, could a successful team, you know, transform an area. and i think certainly it's along the way of doing that. you know, you really feel it in the in the town that, everybody's walking around with a smile on the face and enjoying being part of it because i think everyone is a part of it. >> such a cool story and such a cool show. it's actually very nominated with awards. they have a little bit of a sweep of some awards, and of course you can watch it on hulu, which is part of the disney plus package. larry, there's a lot of great content to watch there, why not? because disney is the parent company of abc seven, in case you didn't know already. >> thanks for squeezing the disclaimer into your report. enjoy the match on the pitch and your conversation with rob mcelhenney later on. sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. back to the 40 niners for a second. different tactics
