5:00 pm
joining us. i'm garvin thomas and i'm jessica aguirre. guilty on all 34 counts. an historic day in new york as former president donald trump becomes the first u.s. president to be convicted of felony crimes. the verdict came down just about three hours ago. the jury deliberated for 9.5 hours total before coming to their decision, finding mr. trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. this, of course, all stems from a hush money payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign. in comments to the press on his way out of the courthouse, mr. trump maintained his innocence and made it clear that he believes this verdict will not slow down his run for the white house. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial that the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people run down. sentencing has been scheduled for july 11th, just days before the republican national convention. and while
5:01 pm
this defendant may be unlike any other in american history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately today, at this verdict, in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors, the former president's guilty verdict is bringing quick reactions from across the political spectrum, particularly in san francisco, a historic liberal city that the former president is expected to visit next week. nbc bay sergio quintana has been gathering reaction in san francisco and joins us live. sergio, the former president sparks deep feeling on both sides of the aisle. what are you hearing out on the streets? yeah, garvin, whether they are angry, happy or sad about what this felony conviction means, every single person that we talk with says that they are surprised that former president donald trump has been convicted on all 34 counts in this trial. now, as
5:02 pm
you mentioned, the judge has set the sentencing for july 11th, and that is just a few days before the start of the republican national convention when president donald trump is expected to be again nominated for that president, nominated to be president in that for that party. and that has raised some issues for the president or for the chairman of the san francisco republican party, who happens to be going to that event. i'm going to the convention, again, i mean, it's appalling. if he doesn't allow him to bond out, that means that we're going to have the, the chief political opponent of the president of the united states, the chief rival sitting in a jail cell. now, dennis called this a bad day for america. now, while this is the first criminal conviction for the former president, it's not the only legal blow he's faced earlier this year, a new york state judge found him guilty in a civil fraud case as part of a scheme to illegally change property values. he's barred from doing business in new york
5:03 pm
state after that decision, and last year he was found liable by a federal jury for sexual assault in a case filed by journalist e jean carroll. now, one thing we found today from people on all sides of the aisle was that everyone seems to have a strong opinion on it. i was, surprised and, you know, look, i'm just glad that our judicial system is not holding anybody beyond the law from france originally, but have been in the us for 22 years, and it's one of the best day in my time in the us. and again, president donald trump is expected to be in san francisco next week for a fundraiser, and his campaign has already been using today's conviction as part of a fundraising effort. in fact, the campaign says that they are having trouble with their site running smoothly because so many supporters have logged in to try to donate. reporting live in san
5:04 pm
francisco i'm sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. all right. thank you very much, sir. hill. after that verdict was read, questions, a lot of them continued to mount. nbc's jay gray joins us now live outside the courthouse in manhattan. jay, let's go. start at the beginning. let's go back into the courtroom. you were there as that verdict was happening. walk us through mr. trump's demeanor as well as what was that of the jurors? were they looking at the former president? were they looking at the judge? give us more a landscape. that's right. there's a yeah. jessica, what i can tell you is just moments before we learned there was a verdict, it looked like that jury was going home for the day. they had gathered in the courtroom. the judge had told them that they would be dismissed. dismissed. and then just moments later, a note came in and they said, we have a verdict. the former president was required to be in the courthouse at all times when the jury was present. so he moved into the courtroom and sat waiting for that jury to file in first the alternates who sat in the front row and then the
5:05 pm
jurors who took their place in the jury box and most of them, we are told, staring straight ahead, not making any eye contact with anyone at that point. and as the verdict was read, it was clear to see that the president was somber. he was frustrated, i think would be a fair way to say it. his face turned red. there are reports that he reached back for his son, don jr's hand and missed it a bit as they were reading the verdict, he left that courtroom and moved into the hallway and again looking dejected with the results, calling this trial what he has since the start five weeks ago rigged. disgraceful, he said that the real verdict in all of this will come in november. from the voters. he said also, and i'm quoting here, we will fight this as long from over the former president as well as his attorneys, have said that they do plan to appeal this decision, you guys were just touching on this. but minutes after the verdict was announced,
5:06 pm
a fundraising email did go out to trump supporters using this verdict as a bit of political ammunition, if you will, to try and garner some donations. and we've heard since then, both on his social media and in comments that the former president has made, that this will be a focus as he now gets to campaign, something he has lamented about oftentimes during this trial, saying that it is taking him away from the campaign trail and the while he has been convicted on 34 felony counts. a quirk in the law here in new york says that he's not a felon at this point. that comes after his sentencing that will be carried out by judge juan merchan. the jury is done. their work has finished here, and they've left the courthouse. that sentencing is july 11th. and as you guys alluded to, it's just four days from the republican national convention. all right. jay gray, thank you very much. we appreciate you giving us all the insight. thank you. we're going

5:15 pm
biscuits and blues. the classy supper club on mason and geary was a destination for blues lovers and touring blues bands, featuring a mix of veteran musicians and up and comers. but five years ago, the music went silent. if someone were to write a blues song about it, the lyrics would talk about a mighty flood and unfortunate incident that happened one night. that incident was a broken pipe from the upstairs jack in the box. it flooded the club and plunged biscuits and blues owner stephen quinn into a long legal battle with the fast food giant and the landlord over responsibility. we have to go to court after that. it takes us like four years to find our way to settle. during the five years the legal wrangling played out, the city went through the pandemic and a financial crisis that saw numerous stores pull out of union square. most expected

5:18 pm
folks that might just be off here as we head into next week's forecast. it was hot out there today. thankfully no one hundreds. but as you'll see here, we did get up into some 90s. let's go ahead and take a look, across santa rosa got up to 89. the average 78 concord 91 degrees, well above that average of 80. livermore also hitting 90, and the average 78 last time we had temperatures in the 90s in livermore was way back on last october. some 224 days ago. so i know some of you are big fans of the heat and you are ready for it, but others want some cooler weather in here. we're going to eventually be able to get in some changes for you as soon as tomorrow. so as you get a look right now with those current temperatures in livermore with that 90, we're going to drop it off into the 80s next couple of hours, then eventually some 70s through eight and 9:00, and then we'll cool it off into some 60s through ten and also 11. so today the hot air was all about this area of high pressure that
5:19 pm
moved in across the pacific, keeping that storm track off to the north. but as we head through tomorrow, just a subtle change here, storm track is going to move a little bit closer towards us with some milder air that's going to knock some of the hottest weather off towards the south. so we are expecting numbers to go down a little bit tomorrow, but still look, overall a warm day coming in for us. so as we started off through tomorrow morning, temperatures here in the mid to upper 50s, mostly sunny skies that will bring it down to 54 in the east bay. double fives in the north bay and then daytime highs as we head through tomorrow looking like this. let's check it out down here through the south bay 86 in san jose, 87 in los gatos, and instead of widespread 90 through the east bay inland valleys, we'll go down a few degrees. that will put us to 88. in concord, 87 in pleasanton, right near the bay, 74 in oakland, the peninsula 59, and half moon bay, then out to redwood city. gotcha at 80. and that cold ocean breeze will keep us at 63 in the marina and some low 70s in downtown. and the mission and right here for the north bay 86 in santa rosa over to sonoma,
5:20 pm
coming in with 87. so we had a little bit of heat with us today. tomorrow numbers drop off a few degrees and then we're going to see it drop a couple more degrees. once we hit this weekend. so looking pretty good here saturday and sunday with some low 80s. then we'll get those numbers to pop back up again once we hit next tuesday and wednesday into some mid 90s doesn't last too long. we should start to cool it off for the following weekend after that. the other thing we've been tracking is that severe weather nationally, another round coming our way tomorrow. you have any connecting flights here in dallas? we are looking for the chance here. some strong storms. also over to arkansas and louisiana on the 7-day forecast in san francisco. so 60s coming on back this weekend. then we'll eventually get back into some 70s as we head into next tuesday. wednesday and thursday. and for the inland valleys, we're coming in with 82 on saturday, 81 on sunday, and look at that on monday. clouds will increase. might feel kind of strange with those mid 80s. we'll see a system off to the north with some rainfall near
5:21 pm
the california oregon border. looks dry for us now, but that is something we are certainly watching as we start off next week. and i see a 90 and a 95 in there next week. yeah that 95 that will then be the hottest day. so far we've seen this year. so certainly a big spike of heat today. it was kind of nice because we didn't get into the 100. so yeah. and it seemed to take a while this year to get there. but yeah, summer's fine. june's coming and strong. yes. all right. thank you jeff. all right san francisco salesforce had its worst day in two decades. what happened. we'
