know, you see -- you see kids walking up and down the street. and you know, like my child, that drops a ball in the street, runs out in the street. you don't know when it's coming, you know. >> i think after covid, there's been -- ots will back this up, there's been data that shows that there's been more dangerous driving after covid. mainly because there was not any patrolling on any traffic laws during that time. >> reporter: as for doing it all alone, green says he does get help from within the department. and beyond. >> anytime i send out a social media post or put anything out, i'll get tons of calls and i have, you know, people in the community that will point me in the right direction. so yeah, i'm not by myself. the community is vested in this as well. very vested in traffic safety. >> reporter: he says he doesn't mind picking up the extra slack. he is just happy to see the unit up and rolling again. >> sergeant green should be getting some reinforcements and antioch pd hopes to have a second motorcycle officer sometime in the next few weeks. ♪ ♪

would ever become a lawyer, but he could still help people get justice. >> reporter: the larry she is talking about is larry itliong who organized the filipino farm workers, starting the 1965 delano grape strike and joining forces with cesar chavez. co-founding the united farm workers. >> i think that this is a story for anybody who's an american just like the boston tea party. we learn about it as absolutely essential to america's identity. this story, filipino americans in labor history, should also be central to who the united states is and what american schools teach. >> reporter: and now larry's story will go from the pages of a book to a theater production on stage called "larry: the musical." for actors amar cabling and kamar abuke, it's a chance for them to tell an authentic story about their own history.

>> what it means to do this show? about philippine american history. is very rare, because not many shows are done with filipino actors. >> feels like we're very much doing this with our ancestors and with our community and with our people. we're not alone in doing this and i think that's the best part of it. >> reporter: gayle hopes the tension of rehearsal will turn into a moment of reflection. >> i have not had that moment where i get to sink into a chair and watch it and just wonder what happened at the last five years.

deliberations after closing arguments. we'll be right back.

it is 6:29 and good morning to you. closing arguments in former president donald trump's hush money trial. prosecutors accuse trump of falsifying business records to hide an alleged sexual

encounter with an adult film star and he denies all wrongdoing. so let's bring in astrid martinez on the final steps before jurors consider some really key assertions by the prosecution. this is a story that all eyes are on new york today. good morning, astrid. >> reporter: good morning, reed. and the closing arguments will really give the opportunity to prosecutors to remind jurors of some important testimony that they heard throughout the last five weeks and make sop of daniels and her alleged sexual encounter with former president donald trump. they can also point to trump's former fixer michael cohen and his testimony that trump was directly involved with those hush money payments made to daniels. meanwhile, trump's attorneys could argue that cohen's testimony cannot be trusted and they only need to convince one juror for that conviction to be avoided. soon the fate of former president donald trump will be in the hands of a manhattan jury. following today's closing arguments. >> in the last year, i have been indicted by the government

on 91 different things. >> reporter: in this case, prosecutors have charged trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records which they say was done to conceal repayment to his former fixer michael cohen after he made so-called hush money payments to stormy daniels to hide an alleged past sexual encounter between trump and daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. trump has pleaded not guilty and denies the encounter. >> this trial is a scam and it's a sham. >> reporter: prosecutors called 20 witnesses to the stand, including daniels, who gave lurid details of her alleged encounter with trump and star witness michael cohen testified that trump signed off on the payments. the defense poked at both witnesses' credibility and motives. >> this case really could go either way. the jury needs to believe michael cohen in order to convict. >> reporter: closing arguments could last all day. then the judge is expected to give the jury instructions as soon as

tomorrow and then they'll begin deliberations. >> i think there's going to be some extended deliberations in this case and everyone is going to be holding their breath. >> reporter: a recent poll shows that americans are split along party lines over whether they believe trump is guilty or not guilty. now each felony count that trump faces carries a maximum of four years in prison and fines. if he is found guilty, that would be a first for a former president. reed? >> astrid, thank you so much. we will be watching. from new york live now to san francisco's bay area. and a -- cloudy looking start to the day there from treasure island. looking at san francisco. the big question i have been wondering about jess, is a the wind going to be sticking around? because i don't know about you guys but my allergies, my goodness. i have been sneezing nonstop and

this is -- doesn't go away. >> i know. and the winds never help with that either. we do have some gusty afternoons ahead of us. especially if you live closer to san francisco or along the coastline. the winds buzz they move in from offshore die down the more inland think go. the marine layer holding around 12,000 feet and you can tell that because you can't see the top of salesforce tower. that's going to stick around for the next couple of hours. watch what happens though as we advance the clock by 9:30 we start to see that cloud layer pull back and close to the coastline and then we see sunny skies into the afternoon hours today. widespread throughout the bay area. right now we're sitting in the 40s and 50s. it is cool and it is cloudy and let's head over to the virtual reality map. first thing first with the cloud layer kind of filling the bay we have a chilly mild start but we have a nice warm-up into the afternoon. 60s returning into san francisco this afternoon. so just about two degrees warmer than we were at yesterday and napa holding on tight to 73 this afternoon. we were in the 80s yesterday near antioch and we're a little bit cooler there today with upper

70s in the forecast for us. and down into redwood city 65 and more 70s in sight for bus the may gray breaking apart already near san jose all the wow down there we're expecting 70s heading into this afternoon. now right around the corner, the climate prediction center showing above normal temperatures in the forecast and we have a nice watchup for the summer around the corner. let's talk traffic. the crash over in dublin on westbound 580 this morning has cleared up. two lanes were blocked earlier this morning but traffic is now moving still a little bit slow. but it is starting to pick up there. over to highway 4, there's a little bit of a backup there as well between antioch and bay point. many of you are going to have to take this drive as go towards concord and richmond. just leave a little bit earlier today. traffic in concord, pretty open. once you get there. but we will see some brake lights affecting westbound 8 roll in san pablo this morning. traffic also starting to pick up around the rest of the bay area. but most of our major freeways right now at least, open and moving pretty nicely. so just make sure you drive safe as you get out on the roads this morning.

well, today we are remembering the life and legacy of bill walton. the college basketball and nba legend died yesterday at 71 years old after allonge battle with cancer. walton won two national championships at ucla playing for legendary coach john wooden and then he went on to win two nba titles. with the portland trailblazers and boston celtics. many of the younger fans will remember him as the analyst for the nba and more recently, for his beloved conference of champions. pac-12. colorful and often quirky commentary. one of his broadcast partners says he gave everyone he spoke to his time. >> he was so disarming and genuine. vern, he made everybody feel like they were his best friend. and he would have his little keel when people walk up to him for example and he could see they were nervous or intimidated by talking to bill. and he would

say, hi, aim bill with two bs. that's how bill was. he was so welcoming to everybody. and celebrated life like no other person i have ever seen. >> this morning, tributes continue to pour in for people remembering wilton. that included one from warriors' head coach steve kerr who said, i will cherish getting to know him when he would visit the warriors when his son luke was on our coaching staff. his incredible energy and passion and love and zest for life was never turned off. and fellow ucla bruin and nba legend kareem abdul-jabbar also posted writing on the court bill was a fierce player but off the court he was not happy unless he did every eking he could to makeeveryone around him happy. a moment of silence to honor walton last night before the eastern conference finals. by the way the celtics would go on and walton's former team there to beat the pacers and advance to the nba finals. reed? it's no secret homeowners' insurance is getting hard to come by. as

major carriers leave california. but the insurance crunch is also hitting businesses in areas that are prone to wildfires. john ramos introduces us to a business owner up in the north bay who says chasing insurance companies makes doing business downright difficult. watch. >> reporter: it's another beautiful memorial day on the russian river and the streets of guerneville are bustling that should make this a profitable weekend for bryce's bed and breakfast. but instead, it may be just enough for him to break even. >> switching careers and going into a totally different industry and buying a property like this, of course you have a lot of worries. insurance was not on the list to be honest with you. >> reporter: bryce opened his mine + farm inn in 2019 just days before the kincade fire broke out and a few months before the pandemic closed things down. but as those obstacles passed, insurance became the biggest problem. >> we noticed right away the prices were going up exponentially. we've seen -- a 222% increase since we bought

the place, in price. >> reporter: while there are plenty of trees on the property and in the neighborhood, bryce doesn't feel like it's a particularly dangerous location. he's installed a 5,000-gallon water tank with sprinklers on the roof and all over the three acre lot. the land is surrounded on three sides by the core bell winery vineyards and sits right next to a cal fire station. still, he's had his insurance dropped by a number of different companies and has now joined the overburdened california f.a.i.r. plan as an insurer of last resort. >> i don't think it's a personal thing. i think we have just gotten caught up in all the fire bureaucracy and them just wanting to pull out of the market. >> reporter: insurance broker and analyst carl sussman says as bad as things may be for homeowners, it's even worse for businesses because there are fewer carriers offering that kind of coverage. but he says efforts now under way in san francisco to reform the way insurance is priced may bring more competition back to the state market. >> the good news is, i can tell you for the first time in a really long time that in the next several months, quarters

or certainly early next year. we're going to see a dramatically different insurance market than we see right now. >> reporter: while bryce thinks that may make insurance more available, he is skeptical that it will bring the cost down much. and though he's earned almost nothing from the business, he really doesn't have much choice. >> there is a point too where you are like how much can i take of this and how long can i, you know, stay committed to this endeavor before i start losing some of the basic principles of why i started this in the first place? >> so at home you are probably wondering what's being done by state leaders to face off with these problems. well, we can tell you governor gavin newsom has really talked a lot about something called the sustainable insurance strategy. it's basically a plan that's supposed to be finalized by the end of the year. but now as the crisis continues to bloom, newsom says that some parts of the plan could be implemented in the next month or two. max? time 6:39 on this tuesday morning. airports, they were packed for memorial day weekend. but that was just the start of what's to come during the summer. travel expert katy

about all of that is that even though there were some delays across the country, cancellations were still really, really down and manageable. and nowhere near that great snowpocalypse we saw a few years ago. so all in all, the airlines and tsa and travelers fared pretty well over that busy weekend. >> we love to see a good report card for a holiday weekend of traveling so heading into the summer where are the hotspots that people are going this year and the big question this morning, is are there still bargains out there? >> that's a great question. you know, we know based on our going state of travel that almost 55% of those surveyed are looking to travel more internationally this year. hotspots are definitely going to include the age old hotspots of western europe, but we're also seeing people looking to travel to warm weather and/or beach destinations. so places like colombia, costa rica and even the dominican republic. and there are some last-minute deals to take advantage of towards the end of the summer from the bay area you can fly

to montana more $199 round trip and visit the glacier national park which is really, really stunning. or if you wanted some sun and sand you can head to puerto rico for $276 round trip or if you really want to hit one of the bucket list trips that you have been dying to go on since coming out of the pandemic, tokyo is a hotspot. for sure this summer. you can head there for $736 round trip and take advantage of right now due to the fact that the exchange rate is really great. you can make the dollar go a little bit further. >> the friends that get the travel deals are like the friend that get the good deals at grocery stores. you really have to know how to do it though right? how do you find the deals? >> you know, it's not necessarily how to find them. you know, they're not -- a perfect day and time when that flight deal that you are looking at is going to magically appear. that's just not how airfare works. it's super volatile. but to give

yourself the best odds at finding a great price on a flight, you want to make sure you are taking advantage of the goal key locks windows and basically the booking windows where you have the highestlikely hood. for this summer you want to target between three and seven months out for domestic trips and then for international trips, you want to target between four and ten months and i know that means -- really big window and you are just giving yourself the best odds. at finding a great price. but like the deals i just mentioned before, doesn't mean a great price or flight deal can't pop at any time. you just don't want to sort of wait till the very last-minute hoping and wishing that someone will pop up when it's likely not. >> fantastic advice this morning. katy nastro with going.com. thank you for joining us today and reed i know what i'm doing. looking for a place to go in summer. >> thank you so much. be well in new york. okay. or maybe you just want to staycation and maybe just want to start it today
