summer. as we look at the sun shining on japantown in san

jose. thank you so much for starting your sunday morning with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast yesterday turned out to be quite lovely and today looks nice. but i know you say it will be a little cooler. yeah, it was definitely warm yesterday. struggling a little bit to keep cool, but today we do have better news. we start with a beautiful look along 101 right here in san jose. mild start 63. also mild out there towards dublin. busy over 580. a bit cooler up into the north bay, but still some stunning skies over the northgate mall. 50 degrees for you there and our microclimates start to show where we get some of the fog blanketing the towers of the golden gate bridge. so just drive carefully with those changes in visibility, we are going to be looking at slightly slightly cooler temperatures for today and further enhancing that into midweek. all those details coming up in about 15 minutes, kyra. all right. cynthia, thanks . we'll see you soon. well, this

is brand new this morning. another sideshow in the middle of the night in the bay area. this one on the bay bridge. this was around two this morning on the eastern span of the bay bridge you can see the hundreds of spectators watching cars doing donuts on the bridge, people setting off fireworks. all lanes were stopped on the freeway for about a half an hour until the crowds dispersed. no word on any arrests. now to oakland, where thousands of people turned up to celebrate lake fest, an annual family friendly event to honor community and culture, and to mark juneteenth. but it came just days after a shooting took over an otherwise peaceful juneteenth event near lake merritt. as today in the bay's alyssa goard reports, public safety was paramount. like this grand national houseless people poured into oakland's lake fest at lake merritt to find live music, dancing, animals and no shortage of food. organizers say

last year, about 20,000 people showed up, and it's safe to say thousands were there this year, too. we are doing this for you. we are doing this for us like we really need this. this is the fifth annual lake fest here in oakland. it's designed to be family friendly and there are people of all ages here. i kidding, anytime it's my birthday. rhonda lynn waterman, who says she's lived in oakland her entire life, spent her day here. it's like, should we come or should we come because they have the juneteenth. but i said, let's go for it. on wednesday night, 15 people were shot near lake merritt as an unsanctioned juneteenth event wound down and an illegal sideshow broke out. police say they haven't made any arrests in connection to the shooting. it's unfortunate. i feel for the victims. vendors told us seeing officers patrolling the event helped them

feel more at ease. i'm glad that they took precaution for this event so that everyone that was coming out, as well as the vendors, we feel more safe. organizers closed off the event with a fence for the first time this year and checked all bags things they say were planned even before wednesday's shooting . we also have an extra amount of officers out here working today to provide a visual presence and visual deterrence. opd also stepped up patrols. even chief floyd mitchell was walking around the festival. i feel safe, i feel safe. for many, this event was a needed dose of joy in their community. alyssa goard today in the bay and we're going to stick in oakland, where there is still no sign of mayor sheng thao after federal agents searched her home on thursday, the fbi, the irs and the postal service had agents raiding the mayor's home, as well as several properties linked to the wong family. that family owns california waste solutions and the company that

holds oakland's recycling contract. the powerful family has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to political campaigns on both sides of the aisle. mayor tao's lawyer told nbc bay area that she is willing to cooperate with the investigation and has nothing to hide the fbi says no arrests have been made. mayor tao plans to hold a news conference to address these issues sometime this coming week, but first happening later today. two groups are holding a rally to, quote, demand accountability from mayor sheng thao. the groups, coalition for community engagement and asians unite say they want to address what they call disconcert ing shortcomings of the mayor following last week's raid at her home, the shooting on juneteenth and other things. the rally starts at 630 tonight at oakland city hall. police in the east bay want people to be aware of their surroundings even while driving. this after thieves stole a woman's purse right out

of her car on a freeway off ramp. the california highway patrol says the woman may have been followed by thieves as she left nordstrom in walnut creek. they tailed her on southbound 680, and when she exited at el cerro boulevard in danville, they broke her car window and snatched her purse. the chp is investigating. unfortunately, we have seen this before. back in april, two women were victims of similar attacks in vallejo. one of the women caught this on camera. it's the view from her car. it went viral on tiktok. you can hear her screaming. in both incidents, the women were in their cars stopped at red lights in vallejo. they happened about an hour apart. these rushed up and broke their car windows. they stole purses and backpacks out of both women's front seats. reporter now to a rescue on a rural contra costa county highway. a man had to be airlifted to the hospital after crashing his car. it happened earlier yesterday evening on

byron highway. police say the man was driving that classic hot rod pickup when he lost control, veered off the road and was thrown from the car. the truck caught fire after impact. we are awaiting an update on the man's condition this morning. pg&e also responded because the crash brought down some electrical lines. fire crews are making progress on two major wildfires that have been burning for a week now. cal fire tells us more than 2600 firefighters were busy yesterday, mostly mopping up the sites fire in colusa county to our northeast. we have new video showing the work crews have done to get that fire under control. the sites fire is the largest fire in california right now, despite burning nearly 20,000 acres and threatening more than 300 structures, cal fire says incredibly, no buildings have been damaged. the fire is currently 38% contained, and sonoma county fire crews are

closer to containing the point. fire it's burned more than 1200 acres between geyserville and las lomas. the fight hasn't been painless. one firefighter was injured. three structures were destroyed. the flames damaged two others. that fire is 85% contained, and the city of martinez is taking wildfires seriously. as these temperatures rise. first responders held a drill to help prepare people living there to evacuate. in the case of a fire, it centered on two streets in the city at risk of wildfires. police went door to door just like they would under real evacuation orders. neighbors were encouraged to join in and to meet at the rally point in ignacio plaza. it's important that people, because not everybody's active like we are and nowhere to go. and it was cool seeing the police knocking on people's doors to try to get them to participate, because it is important, because stuff happens. bad stuff happens here in california, all people

who live in martinez were invited to that free expo afterwards, whether they were part of the mock evacuation or not. now to politics and former president donald trump signaling he knows who he will ask to be his running mate, the presumptive gop nominee told reporters just yesterday he does have his mind made up about his pick for vice president. but when asked if his pick knows it's them, trump responded that no, nobody knows. sources close to the trump campaign have identified three frontrunners for the position, though florida senator marco rubio, ohio senator jd vance and north dakota governor doug burgum. trump has said he may announce his choice at the republican national convention in milwaukee next month. well, weeks of negotiations in sacramento are now over. governor gavin newsom and state lawmakers have reached an agreement over the final 2024

2025 state budget. newsom and democrats who control the state legislature struck that deal yesterday. the spending plan comes to $298 billion. leaders solve the nearly $47 billion deficit with $16 billion in cuts. they also declared a statewide fiscal emergency in order to pull the remaining funds from california's rainy day reserve. as for that $16 billion in cuts that we mentioned, that comes in part from a delay in the minimum wage increase for health care workers , a reduction of some affordable housing funds and slashing $750 million from the state prison system. it is 710 right now. we have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. to talk with peter

thursday. it's the earliest in the year that a debate has been held. both president biden and former president trump have been preparing in different ways. trump on the campaign trail this weekend while president biden is prepping at camp david. please join me in welcoming chief white house correspondent peter alexander moderating meet the press today. peter, before we jump in, i want to congratulate you on 20 remarkable years at nbc news. yeah, that is so kind of you to say, kyra, for a bay area boy to have this opportunity, i'm incredibly grateful. so thank you. and we are so proud of you. and i understand on the show this morning, you got to speak exclusively with republican governor kristi noem of south dakota, as well as biden campaign co-chair mitch landrieu. i want to ask you, as we head into thursday, if both sides are putting a lot of pressure on this week's debate, it's just the first of two that are planned so far. do they see it as an important opportunity

to sway undecided voters? i think not just in opportunity with undecided voters, but also with some of those voters who are, frankly, deciding whether they're going to vote or sit this one out altogether. right. the pressure, i would suggest is probably more on president biden than it is on former president trump. but both sides really have a lot to win or to lose here. joe biden is hoping to show trump being trump to present him as what the biden folks describe as an unhinged criminal. there is going to be a mute button employed here, which means when it's not your turn to talk, your mic is muted, so there's going to be fewer of the interruptions from donald trump this go around. we'll see exactly how that plays out. trump wants to cast joe biden as someone who is not physically or mentally fit to, to serve another four years, so the pressure is on joe biden. i think, given the concerns that do persist about his age right now, to have a clear message, to speak to the camera, no teleprompter and to deliver what his vision is for the future right now, and also to cast that contrast with donald trump on a series of different topics

reproductive rights, something that the trump the biden folks want to lean into. trump by trust, based on my reporting, is going to to focus heavily on as well. so i would suggest this, actually, we always say the stakes are very high. they are particularly high this go around, especially given how close these races are decided at the margins. and this is really a chance the biden folks hope to shake up what's race. an interet you point out that, people might sit this one out, arguably two unpopular candidates this year, peter, thanks so much for that preview. we look forward to seeing you in just about 45 minutes from now. and we hope you join peter for this morning's meet the press. he will have those exclusive interviews with governor kristi noem and biden campaign co-chair mitch landrieu. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay, meet the press is on at 8 a.m. right after this newscast. and as always, coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll

take a look at the recent slew of u.s. supreme court decisions and the most recent one, which upheld the ability of the government to deny felons convicted of domestic violence to own guns. apple's new ai is not being welcomed in the european union. a 2023 eu law is blocking three recently announced features from apple, including its apple intelligence ai product. at issue is the digital markets act, which requires services to operate across platforms to promote competition. apple has privacy and data concerns about that, and says it will work with the eu to come up with a solution to allow the rollout of its new products. but for now, apple intelligence iphone mirroring and enhancements to the screen sharing product shareplay will not be available to eu customers. the flight attendants union for alaska airlines says it has reached a record

tentative labor dealh the airline. details haven't been made public just yet. rank and file members have not even voted, but alaska airlines released a statement saying it's reached an agreement that will provide quality of life and continued career growth. meanwhile united and american airlines are still negotiating contracts with their flight attendants. thousands of radio operators across the country tested their skills yesterday, and some were right here in northern california. it's all part of an annual event called amateur radio field day amateur radio, also known as ham radio, allows people to communicate through radio frequency. specifically, it connects people if the power goes out or if a cell tower goes down in the past. ham operators have been essential during california wildfires, so operators set up their equipment and talked to others near and far. this was in aptos, near santa cruz. they say they need to keep practicing the skills so that they can be prepared in an emergency. we

don't have any power and you don't have any cell coverage because the cell towers go down have left is ham radio. so if we don't practice, then we won't know how to use . more than 40,000 operators across the country set up stations to communicate. the event has been going on every year since 1933. heads up for bt ders in oakland this weekend. bus bridges are in place for three different lines because of a closure, so crews can repair power cables and signs on the tracks. it might cost you some time delays up to 40 minutes, but won't cost you any money. the bus bridge will be free. the closures will affect rockridge, macarthur and 19th street stations. the red line service is closed today, so instead riders can get service to and from millbrae with the yellow line. train service will be back up and running by tomorrow. the

4th of july is coming and that time of year when many people buy fireworks, when law enforcement also tries to buy illegal fireworks back from people in the community, the san mateo county sheriff's office did just that at the courthouse in south san francisco yesterday. people could drop off fireworks anonymously and in return get $10 a pound. the sheriff's office says it gave out $1,000 in just the first few hours. so if you'd like to watch the pros do the fireworks and not put yourself in danger, we put together a big list of fireworks shows happening across the bay area. just go to our website nbcbayarea.com slash 4th of july. all right, time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. a lovely day yesterday , although hot for some people, you say sizzling slight cool down today. slight cool. we won't get into the triple digits today in most places, so just a few degrees cooler. we'll call that a win for our sunday plans. but of course we start with the

fog blanketing parts of the coastline there through san francisco. a bit breezy. you drive a couple minutes east and find yourself with some clear skies through walnut creek. so let's plan your day hour by hour for you. we're starting off mainly in the 50s and 60s, and we'll watch some of that. patchy fog. coastal drizzle kind of just hang out by the coast. typical is what we see this time of year and what we saw yesterday. definitely enhancing our microclimates. now as we go on into the noon hour, starting to step out the door, it's already warm into mendocino and lake counties out there, parts of solano county, the east bay, livermore, and down through parts of los gatos as well. but the immediate bay, that's where we're going to feel the relief. first, with that sea breeze coming in 60s and 70s, by midday and into the afternoon, we'll only do mid 70s in hayward, 80 in fremont, a couple of 90s, but there low 90s for vacaville, livermore. that got to 101 yesterday afternoon. you're about ten degrees cooler. we'll do mid 80s in san jose, 68 in san mateo and 60 degrees out in

half moon bay under mostly sunny skies. now, that sea breeze, of course, will enhance our cooling. but definitely worth watching. of course we are in fire. season out through parts of concord, livermore, the east bay hills, south bay hills. it's dry out there and we'll continue to watch this into midweek. and i'll tell you why. remember we talked about that moisture down from alberto, that tropical storm. it's starting to creep further into parts of southern california. and eventually could reach us here in the bay area as well. but in the form of some high clouds as we go on into tuesday morning. that could be a beautiful sunrise there, but we watch it. of course, with a little bit more concern because of the concerns for dry lightning for parts of the monterey bay there and into the valleys. now, as we go on into the afternoon, we should start to see that moisture starting to subside and giving way to a bit of a cool down into the city. we'll stay in the 60s there all week long, so not much change, but our inland valleys, aside from the relief. today we're going to enhance that cooling as we go on into the middle parts

of the week, down into the low 80s for wednesday and thursday and for friday and next weekend. already looking ahead, it doesn't look like we spikes. so, it was just a quick blast of that saturday summer sizzle. never too soon to look forward to the next weekend. even when today's just. but i'm not ready to talk about 4th of july. just yet. that's too soon, too soon, too soon. all right, cynthia, thanks. 721 right now we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, the earthquakes are rocked down in los angeles. how long it's been since the quakes latest victory sports is next.

good morning everyone. a heat wave is scorching much of the country, including the midwest giants pitcher jordan hicks, says his legs were dead after

the third inning because of the heat and humidity in saint louis. it was in the mid 90s and sticky. the giants had a42 lead in the fourth until alec burleson tags hicks for a deep three. by the way, hicks spent his first five seasons in the majors in saint louis, but he only lasted four innings. then burleson jacks a two run shot in the sixth. the cardinals rally to beat the giants 9 to 4. san francisco has lost four in a row. it's two good swings, got beat by the long ball today and we move on. obviously some big swings today were were the difference in that game. you know we scored three runs in the first. feel pretty good about where we are. and all of a sudden the two run homer in a hurry and then had a couple more big swings which can, you know, change the game in a hurry. at the coliseum in oakland, the a's taken on the twins. minnesota blows it open in the second inning. the twins score seven runs in the frame, highlighted by a three run shot from manuel margot. the twins beat the a's

10 to 2. the struggle is real for the earthquake. san jose was blown out down in los angeles. the quakes fall 6 to 2 to lafc. the quakes are winless in their last eight matches. it's been six weeks since their last victory. macarthur park is up very high. nice run. emily menges cross body. yes tess bodie with her team. high third goal of the season. and it was the difference in the game because it was the game winner. bay fc beats angel city fc one nil. bay fc improves to five and nine on the season. that's a look at your morning sports i'm anthony flores for today in the bay. anthony thanks 726. still to come on today in the bay. california lawmakers reach a deal to balance a multibillion dollar budget deficit. but they're making cuts. we'll break down the numbers coming up. plus we have updates on some of the biggest wildfires burning in california, bringing that haze to the b

sunday, june 23rd, 728 a live look outside as they're setting up the cupertino farmers market on the campus of de anza college. apparently there is an issue. the contract between the college and the farmers market is coming up on july 1st, and they have yet to figure out how to move forward. we have our fingers crossed that this wonderful weekly event can continue. thank you so much for starting our sunday morning with us. i'm kira klapper. i guess it's our sunday morning. cinthia pimentel has a quick look at your microclimate forecast and nice morning to go to the farmers market. a beautiful morning and we're extending our arms. big hugs to everybody waking up with us this morning 63 down here in san jose with beautiful skies. we see of course carl the fog through san francisco mid 50s, clear and sunny and already off to a warm start. two in dublin and slightly cooler up the north

bay. petaluma. i have you at 52 degrees. as we go out and plan. our day will be just a touch cooler. much more relief from the help of the onshore flow. that will give us also some better air quality as we talk about wildfires just to our north. but of course we do have to keep that thought in mind. with the wind speeds increasing later on through the hills. in the valleys, we're going to talk about all of this going on right here on our satellite and radar, picking up some moisture right there through the mid levels of the atmosphere, and how close and the possible risks that it could pose to the bay area. i'll have those details coming up in about ten minutes. here. back to you. all right, cynthia, thanks. the heat cynthia was just mentioning keeping fire danger high this weekend. sonoma county fire crews are close to containing the point fire. it has burned more than 1200 acres between geyserville and los alamos. lots of smoke heading into the bay area from that. the fight has not been easy, though. one firefighter was injured, three structures were completely destroyed, two others were damaged. the fire is currently

85% contained and it's already been a busy six months for fire crews across the state. we are just halfway through the year, and cal fire says more than 30 wildfires have sparked across california over just the last few weeks. so far, nearly 100,000 acres have been scorched. that is, between january and now. the biggest fires are currently burning in la and colusa counties. to our northeast. the early spike in fires is causing concern because we have yet to reach the hottest months of the year. our nbc bay area app is a great resource to have during the fire season. any season actually. we send breaking news alerts straight to your phone so you don't even have to look for the news to download it. point your phone at the qr code on your screen. it will take you right to the app store. not an early 4th of july celebration in this, another sideshow in the middle of the

night in the bay area. and this one, as you can see right there on the bay bridge, it was around two this morning on the eastbound span of the bridge. you can see hundreds of spectators watching cars doing donuts on the bridge, people setting off those fireworks. all lanes were stopped on the freeway for about a half an hour until the crowds dispersed. we are awaiting word on any arrests . thousands came out to celebrate the fifth lake fest. it's a family friendly festival at oakland's lake merritt. it was packed with all sorts of things like vendors, live music, dancing, animals, food, a celebration of the community, the heritage and juneteenth. organizers did say some vendors backed out, though, at the last minute, after about 15 people were shot following an unsanctioned juneteenth event near the lake on wednesday night . in response to the shooting, oakland police ramped up staffing at the festival. the

festival also ended up fencing in the park. they had bag checks for the first time, organizers say, though that was already in the works before the shooting. many of the vendors say it was a great turnout. i'm glad that they took precaution for this event so that everyone that was coming out as well as the vendors, we feel more safe. police are still investigating that shooting on juneteenth. no arrests have been made. we're going to stick in oakland, where there is still no sign of oakland mayor sheng thao after federal agents searched her home on thursday. agents from the fbi, irs and postal service raided the mayor's home, as well as several other properties linked to the duong family. that family owns california waste solutions, the company that holds the city's recycling contract. the powerful family has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to political campaigns on both sides of the aisle, mayor tao's lawyer told nbc. bay area that she is willing to cooperate with

the investigation, that she has nothing to hide. the fbi says no arrests have been made. mayor tao says she plans to hold a news conference sometime this coming week to address all these issues happening later today. two groups are holding their own rally to, quote, demand accountability from mayor sheng thao. the groups coalition for community engagement and asians unite say they want to address what they call disconcerting shortcomings of the mayor following last week's raid at her home. the shooting on juneteenth and other issues. the rally starts at 630 tonight at oakland city hall. in our national news, a fourth victim in the arkansas grocery store shooting has died. police say 81 year old ellen shrum died late last night on friday. as we've been reporting, a gunman opened fire at the mad butcher grocery store in fordyce, arkansas. 13

people were shot in the shooting spree, including two police officers. police say four other people are still in the hospital, including one woman in critical condition. the suspect, travis eugene posey, also wasjuf capital murder investigators told nbc news there are no indications of any sort of extremist ism as a possible motive. two politics and the high stakes debate prep ahead of this coming week's presidential showdown on thursday. president joe biden cramming this weekend while donald trump is out on the campaign trail, as discussed with peter alexander. and we have new details on his top contenders for vice president. nbc's dasha burns is on the trail in philadelphia as debate night approaches a contrast in preparation from former president trump campaigning in philadelphia. i think this is prepping. these people know better than anybody what they want. and on the stump, nobody's going to be watching the debate on thursday night, right? nobody

will anybody be watching. sources tell nbc news campaigning is his debate prep, along with some informal policy sessions with advisers and members of congress focusing on inflation and immigration. debate prep going while president biden is hunkered down at camp david for intensive prep sessions led by former chief of staff ron klain. that will include mock debates playing the part of mr. trump is former white house counsel bob bauer,wk in 2020. the president, looking to focus thursday night's debate on abortion rights and what his campaign says is trump's record of undermining democracy. trump saying his yet to be named. running mate will be at the debate and that he's made his choice. but hasn't told anyone who it will be. i decided for your vice president is top in my mind. yeah. sources tell nbc news the focus has been on three top contenders, each with a history of being critical of trump. florida senator marco rubio ran against trump in 2016.

what we are dealing with here, my friends, is a con artist, he is a con artist. before entering politics, ohio senator jd vance adamantly opposed trump. i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. and north dakota governor doug burgum briefly ran against trump for this year's nomination. would you ever do business with donald trump, i don't think so. why i would, i just think that it's important that you're judged by the company you keep, and i. you just wouldn't do business with him. no i wouldn't. all three vp contenders are now loyal allies of the former president. sources say the campaign wants a candidate who won't overshadow mr. trump, but also someone who could be the future of the repuar. at w dha burns reporting for us back here locally. weeks of negotiations in sacramento are finally over. governor gavin newsom and state lawmakers have reached an agreement for the final 20 2425 state budget. newsom and the democrats, who control the state legislature, struck that deal

yesterday. the spending plan comes to $298 billion. leaders say they solved the nearly $47 billion deficit with 16 billion in cuty declared a statewide fiscal emergency so that they can pull remaining bt6 billion in cuts. that comes in part from a delay in the minimum wage increase for health care workers, a reduction of some affordable housing fundsnd slashing $750 million from the state prison system to the coast, a part of highw one near big sur that's been shutdol reopen today. highway at paul's slide hasn shut down since january 2023, when it was damaged by a storm. the four mile stretch wilreopen today, giving direct access t communities in that area. caltrans is still working to

the beautiful look, getting that energy up as we look through sfo. we have a bit of that fog hanging around san bruno mountain, but it should mix out and just stay right there near the coastline, giving way to another warm day in our valleys, but not as hot as yesterday. that was a quick blast of heat. we'll do upper 80s in santa rosa, cooling it off about ten degrees out in concord and livermore, where we got to 101 yesterday afternoon. that was definitely some sizzling heat. we are finding ways to cool down in san jose for today. 86 and along the immediate bay 64, in san francisco, with the help of that breeze that will come in into the immediate bay and eventually through the rest of the bay area, giving way to not only some cooler temperatures, but some better air quality. we've been dealing with those

fires up north, but for today, that breeze is going to enhance, move things out of there from our atmosphere and give way to some good air quality for everyone. so enjoy that as you make your sunday plans around the bay, drinking lots of water and wearing that sunscreen and keeping cool as we go on and take a look to the start of our new workweek. maybe a few patchy clouds along parts of the north bay east bay shoreline and out towards the coast, but otherwise, again, another typical summer pattern where we just see the sunshine immediately right away, possibly even some high clouds as we go through the afternoon hours for south of the bay area. as we track some of that subtropical moisture from what's left of tropical storm alberto right now, it's still churning for parts of the desert southwest, creating some instability there, and it could come up to parts of the bay area, too. we're watching into monday parts of the central southern sierra getting some rain showers there. the blue little dots you see on your screen is a potential for some dry lightning. and of

course we hear that and that heightens our fire risk. we go on into tuesday. some of it is starting to trek north, depending on how hot we get through the sacramento valley. that will be an area to watch with. also the chance of some showers. there for tuesday along the coastline still remaining pretty active as we go to the desert southwest. so something to watch there. and not only will that bring in some moisture, but a bit of a midweek cool down look as we go on into tuesday, wednesday, thursday, temperatures down into the low 80s, so not much change as far as temperatures for the rest of the week there. and in san francisco. we'll keep it steady in the 60s. after that morning fog. today will go mid 60s there and just cruise through. i think this is the last week of june, correct. right yeah. goodness. last day a week from today. and i still haven't started my new year's resolutions. what is happening? never. year is flying too late. today is the first day of the rest of your life. all right. thank

gun control. the justices upheld a federal law that prohibits people subjected to domestic violence restraining orders from having firearms. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us. hi, larry. good to see you. good morning. what's the basis of the court's decision? good morning kyra. this goes back to a 1994 law, part of which had a section that said if somebody was convicted of domestic violence, that person could no longer receive a gun or a firearm because of that conviction, about 76,000 people have been prevented from getting guns. because of that, only that small issue, domestic violence, which of course is not a small issue in itself, not at all. and so the court said, well, you know, there is that portion of the law. yeah, we think we could uphold it because a small number of people on a very serious

issue. and so we'll go ahead and uphold that law which keeps felons who have been convicted of domestic violence from from purchasing another weapon. that's the story. okay, so my next question, as i say it, i realize this is jumping to conclusions. but being devil's advocate, does this decision perhaps suggest the court may be moving in a new direction on guns, considering the vote was so vast? only one dissenter? yeah, you're right. 8 to 1 decision and a person might think that. but the fact is, if you look at the court's record over the last few years, they are very, very big on second amendment. broad interpretations of that second amendment. probably not. so. so look, all you have to do is go back to last week. last week we had the bump stock case. remember that small piece of equipment that allows you to go ahead and convert a semiautomatic to a machine to, to something very similar to a machine gun? the court said, no, we can go ahead and keep that bump stock because it's not exactly a machine gun.

you know what? during that period, a 2017 in las vegas, 61 people were killed, hundreds injured because somebody shot a thousand, a thousand bullets over 11 minutes. so the court said, no, the bump stock is okay to keep. so considering what the court said, just a week ago and what we have today, it doesn't look like we're going in a different direction. despite the wishes of gun control advocates. indeed. and for those who aren't familiar with the supreme court's calendar, can you explain why we are receiving a lot of supreme court opinions all at once? why so many decisions right now? right now? kyra, that's such a good question that so many people ask the court takes a relatively few amount of cases, about 60 cases. this year. they work all year and studying the cases, analyzing them, getting, getting feedback, getting all the things that go along with appeals, cases as it gets to the end. the hardest ones are left for the end. why? because it takes so long to get them done. so here we are. we're pushed against the

court's limit. they're supposed to end on june 30th and then go into summer recess. but look, we've got about 15 cases of those 60 left. and if you take a look at a little chart, we've got some of these are very, very heavy emergency abortions. we talked about abortion just a couple of weeks ago. these are emergency can can a person get an emergency abortion. that's the idaho case. homelessness can a local government force people not to sleep or stay overnight on public sidewalks? the january 6th insurrection, a huge case here. why? because there's a law about obstructing congress that some people think might be unconstitutional. the court hasn't decided that. and then, of course, the biggest of all presidential presidential immunity, whether president trump or any other president, for that matter, is completely immune from any prosecution even before, during or after their presidency. look at those cases. they are massive and we hope to hear from the court in the next week or two. so let me tell you

over the next couple of weeks, strap in that, that safety belt, because you're going to have some very big cases that are going to be overwhelming to the people on both sides. it's going to be a big couple of weeks. kara. yeah, june 30th is the deadline. that's a week from today. so that's a lot of time to get all that done. as they say, nothing gets you motivated quite like the last second. larry, thank you so much. good to see you. we'll see you next week. you got it i got the chance to speak with larry yesterday and we will continue to follow those 15 remaining unresolved cases before the supreme court. be sure to download our nbc bay area app or stay locked in to nbcbayarea.com for the very latest as it unfolds. did you see this last night right here on nbc bay area sha'carri richardson making a huge comeback. qualifying for her first olympic games, she won the 100 meter sprint at the us olympic track trials in oregon. richardson sprinted down the track in 10.71 seconds, the

fastest time in the 100 meter in the world this year, paris will be a chance for redemption for richardson, who, you might recall, missed out on the 2020 olympics. she won the trials but was not allowed to compete in tokyo after she tested positive for a chemical found in marijuana. back here in the bay san jose, san pedro square was the place to be for soccer fans yesterday. this city and the earthquakes teamed up to host two huge watch parties for team usa and mexico's copa america soccer games. hundreds came out, some of them from the opposite side of the bay over there. we don't really got good places we can find, so when i looked it up, i saw the earthquakes were sponsoring this so we got in our car and we came up here to check this out. we came here last year, i believe, for the usa game against england. so i saw that. i really enjoyed my time

here the last time. so hoping to enjoy again. i mean it's a really good time. the event was part of the south bay's summer of soccer. levi's stadium hosted the copa america tournament yesterday between ecuador and venezuela and in about a week, brazil versus colombia. on tuesday, july second, 52 past the hour. up next, we have a quick look at the top stories we're following, including updates on some of those massive wildfires burning here in northern california and bringing haze to the bay area

a sunday morning. this is a sideshow in the bay area overnight. this one on the bay bridge around two this morning. hundreds of people you see there still speeding on the eastbound span, watching cars, doing donuts, people setting off those fireworks. you just saw all lanes were stopped for about 30 minutes before the crowds dispersed. we are awaiting word on any arrests. the point fire in sonoma county is now 85% contained. fire crews are working to fully contain the 1200 acres burning between geyserville and las lomas. one firefighter was injured. three structures were destroyed, two others are damaged. it's already been a busy year for fire crews across california, cal fire tells us. nearly 100,000 acres have been scorched. that's

between january and now. the early spike in fires is causing concern because we have yet to reach the hottest months of the year. if you'd like to escape to the coast, good news. part of highway one near big sur that's been shut down for a year and a half, will reopen today. highway one at paul's slide has been shut down since january of 2023. it was damaged by a storm. the four mile stretch will reopen today and that will give direct access to communities there. caltrans is still working to clear two other slides along highway one. it hopes to reopen regents slide by this fall, and dolan point by next summer. and cynthia has one last look at the forecast before we go. who for people who maybe like this heat, or people who want to go somewhere cooler for everybody. that's why our microclimates are so special. a bit breezy by the coast with temperatures mainly in the 60s. but you go inland. we're going to do some low 90s in spots, so no more of those 90

nines or one hundreds that we saw yesterday. that was a quick blast of heat by tomorrow not much change in slightly cooler. and then we go on into tuesday. i was mentioning a couple minutes ago we'll get a little bit more of that subtropical moisture from tropical storm alberto to our southwest and then on into wednesday, thursday, more of that cool down, down into the low 80s. so we've got it all for anybody who is here visiting or local. all right. sounds good cynthia. thanks and thanks to all of you for making us a part of your sunday morning. no, 5 or 6 p.m. news tonight. instead, it's the olympic trials right here on nbc bay area. we'll have a special edition newscast at 830, and then we are back, including cynt
