>you're totally asking the wrong person. you need to ask the fbi knew. the us attorneys. office. were pressing oakland mayor sheng thao for answers. >investigation has created quite a lot of distractions for the city there are some calling for your resignation. at any, would you consider resigning? for the 1st time since the fbi raided her home? >liz>we had a lot of questions for the mayor about the investigation and the newly approved budget, which is raising concerns about police staffing. at a time when crime is top of mind in oakland. will lay out what the mayor had to say in our 1 on 1 interview with her, plus, we'll talk with the group in oakland that's calling. for action. to help root out violence and their community. well, that conversation in just a few minutes, but 1st a look at your news headlines. governor gavin newsom declared a state of emergency in butte county, where the thompson fire has
3:02 pm
forced early. 30,000. evacuation. several homes and cars have already been destroyed. cal fire says the fire has burned more than 5 square miles around oroville and a 0%. contained area firefighters are headed to butte county to help tackle the thompson fire. fire crews from san francisco san jose and san mateo are all joining the fight. meanwhile, in napa, county crews have the toll. the fire near calistoga. about 20% contained and it's burned about 40 acres. cal fire says to firefighters were hurt no word on the extent of their injuries. and in alameda, a naturalization ceremony was held today welcoming 76. new us citizens, immigrants from 31 countries from el salvador to south korea. took the oath aboard the uss hornet. the ceremony is an independent state tradition. and holiday travelers are hitting the road ahead of the 4th of july. traffic is expected to pick up especially along the coast. as people try to beat the heat
3:03 pm
according to aaa. the price of gas averages 47. a gallon here in cal. liffe, oranje. aaa expects nearly 90% of americans to hit the road this week. it is another 1st alert. weather day with extreme heat across the bay area. the national weather service says it is dangerous. and potentially deadly. meteorologist darren peck is in the virtual view studio tracking those triple digits for >paul>us >>as well as a red flag. conditions and, of course, our air quality. >paul>all of its kind of converging at the same time as it would this time of year when we get into a significant heat wave. and we start entering that time of year, where fire concern it is going to be a risk we do need to pay attention to all 3 of those. and in terms of the heat aspect of this while we're focused on the peak temperatures today and tomorrow and you'll see really today tomorrow and friday. going right through the holiday. our kind of the peak days. and that is important to out those numbers as you can see what i've got in terms of relations. to records. another really important about. this is not so much the individual
3:04 pm
days. themselves. but the duration that this is likely going to go. it's not going to stay at the peak like this for the next 7 days. but it's going to be well above average, and we're going to be talking about excessive heat warnings likely going into early next week. it really is the long duration. marathon idea of this. that might be the most important takeaway. so, having said that and kind of set that stage let's get specific on particular days. we probably probably going to break a record or 2. we're still waiting for the official daytime highs. it's you know, we're in the 3:00 hour now typically hit the daytime high right around 4:00. or so and we'll have those updated numbers in the 5:00 hour. when paul's on and he'll have those for you. but in terms of where we expect things to go, couple of records likely to tie or break there's livermore 109 today. likely going to tie the record let's jump ahead to tomorrow, and we're going to do this now for thursday, and friday. so we're taking a look at your 4th of july. forecast. and when you look at the numbers here for thursday's daytime high and friday they're almost identical. it's really
3:05 pm
not a lot of change. in fact, watch we're going to change this. you can see thursday's numbers up around 104 105 watch the day change. now we're looking at friday. hmm. we didn't see any difference. we're pretty much held right here. these numbers might be if you want to be technical about it, these numbers might be a little bit cooler. yeah. then today, but i don't think that's really much to hang our hat on. these are numbers that are still well above average. so having said that the excessive heat warning. if you can pan along to the details in timing on this, it's been extended. and which is really not that big of a surprise. anyone in the forecast community or anyone who has been following along with this forecast in detail. knew that this was likely. a likely eventual outcome they were going to have to extend the excessive heat warning at the time frame up there now that's going to take us through wednesday at 11. pm pm and that covers inland valleys. and it covers much of the north bay within that we've got our heat advisory. for locations along the peninsula. east bay shore and the city is included in this year. daytime highs are going up into the mid
3:06 pm
80s. we just saw that when we looked at everybody's daytime high a moment ago, so with all of these things in mind, what do you do if you hear excessive heat warning besides making your plans to stay in the shade stay hydrated. definitely not over doing it outdoors and taking this seriously. because we know heat related health impacts heats the number 1 killer. in this country. from any weather related impact. more than 2 tornadoes more than hurricane to teach. we've shown this often. here's another refresher course when we talk about heat related health impacts. there's heat exhaustion. and heat stroke. and we really just want to make sure you're aware of what the differences between the 2 obviously, it's the heat stroke. you want to pay attention to the most, because if you have any of those, it's time to call 911. this would be a good time. to let you know there are free pools. in san francisco. did you know san francisco has got 9 municipal pools. and they're all free right now. so when we talk about making plans to adjust this is an excellent 1. and if you thought to yourself well, i don't have a pool or any of
3:07 pm
that night. now you've got when you can go there, so there are 9 of them. not that difficult to find 1 closer to you if you are interested in looking for that, that is certainly an option. now. liz mentioned the red flag warning sticking around, so i just want to show you the details on that. this 1 also has been extended the red flag warning stays in effect until saturday. these are not terribly intense offshore. winds right now. but it is an incredibly dry landscape. the higher the temperature. the greater the ability of the atmosphere, too. pull moisture out. of grasses, twigs, trees, the finer fuels right now, for sure, so that's 1 of the bigger vulnerabilities. all right, let's get into the 70s. forecast. we were talking about this being the long duration. kate here. thursday and friday happy fourth of july. maybe it gets a little bit better by saturday and, yeah, these numbers are better. ok, by the time we get into sunday and early next week, this is an improvement. but these numbers are still hot, and there's reason to believe we're going to see an uptick in the center of high pressure once we get past the 70 forecast so we're likely going to see another up
3:08 pm
taking heat at this, but that would be beyond the 7 day and it's been on the scope of our focus and concern to make sure you're updated for right now. we've got a lot of 1st alert weather days on these so we're going to do everything we can to make sure you're updated as this develops and to give you ideas on how best to handle and prepare and address it. all right, liz back to you, >liz>daryn. thanks so much and stay with us for continuing coverage of the heat and its impacts on air and online. at kpix.com. and, of course, streaming on the free cbs news app. for the 1st time since the fbi raided oakland mayor sheng tells home we've got a chance to ask her direct questions today, and this also comes as the mayor faces a recall and budget challenges right now. mimoto is here and ryan you interviewed the mayor on the noon show today. >ryan>you know, we get a chance to talk about that raid. we've got a chance to talk about the investigation less than 2 weeks after that federal rated the oakland miers sheng towels home. just adding to the challenges the city has is already facing an earlier today
3:09 pm
i asked the mayor about that fbi investigation. where she still maintains her innocence. >yeah. cannot comment on matters related to an ongoing investigation. but what i can share is that yes, i am not the subject of the investigation. and i have done nothing wrong and then expect that there will be an opportunity for us to say more. but, you know, not at this time. also fully cooperating with the investigation. and i look forward to the opportunity to vindicate myself. >ryan>but we did press the mayor will findings. from our own investigation. towels. former chief of staff webb told kpix at the mayor should resign. accusing shane tells boyfriend, andrei jones, who lives with the mayor of running a pay to play scheme. other people telling kpx that jones is a regular presence at city hall and the mayor's office, something that she denies. >absolutely not. you know, i've been on the city council where he's never actually you know, been on any payroll. that's really easy to confirm. you know, he's hardly even been in my office and so yeah.
3:10 pm
that's there's no truth to that at all. it's just rumors. >ryan>also talked about crime in the city. a new budget passed by the city council last night. the mayor has said. says that the budget prioritizes public safety even though there are cuts to the police department. the budget has money for 600. officers. that is down from the 712. currently on the force. the city says there will not be layoffs that instead of cuts will come from officers retiring. or quitting. >the budget that was voted for is the more responsible budget that really covers public safety is essential services. despite an extremely challenging fiscal moment in time. and so this budget will enable us to maintain the steady and significant progress we've already made and reduce crime in cleaning our streets. >ryan>well, those cuts come after 14 people were shot at a duty. celebration. your lake merritt. oakland the oakland police officers association, says fewer officers will be bad for public safety leading up to the budget. vote. we talked to people in oakland who say
3:11 pm
safety is 1 of their top concerns. >oh, my god. it's going to be even worse. than time for them to come for gunshots. feel like crime is a major issue. i'm a mother, so for me shootings is concerning and i'd like to be. i'd like to know that oakland is moving towards like a place of being very quick. to address these kind of issues. >ryan>this last weekend, opd says they started their summer safety plan that includes more officers on the streets and the mayor did confirm that she is setting up a legal defense fund. we will air my entire interview with mayor sheng thao coming up at 530 so it was quite the start. difference from the 1st time we saw mayor tell when she had that press conference. she came out very emotional, very fiery this time, very composed staying on message. but got we got the answer. ask her a couple of questions about the investigation. she obviously can't answer a lot of it because it is an ongoing investigation, but it was good to hear from >liz>the mayor. it's important to note there haven't been any
3:12 pm
official charges. >ryan>yes. she is not facing any charges when she says she is not a part of that investigation. >liz>great interview. thank you, ryan. well, still ahead. the impact of the juneteenth shooting on the community of oakland. a group dedicated to stopping the violence, joins us live in studio to talk about their message. and their called to action. stay with us.
3:13 pm
3:14 pm
3:15 pm
>liz>well, this half hour our conversation. centers around. oakland. and public safety. those recent shootings, the fbi raids and potential cuts to police staffing. all raising some major concerns. joining me now is the candor. iqbal, the deputy director of the urban peace movement. thanks so much for joining us. >tfxw mic>thanks for having me. >liz>so what are your thoughts kind of on the state of your city right now, given all the imbalance that's going on and city hall and just the upheaval that's happening. >tfxw mic>think for us. it's a i mean, it's always turning to, you know, to see this happening, but i think for us um you know a lot of the work we're doing is on the ground. like you said. we're talking about. even when i've heard even just generally in the news. a lot of times we equate the idea of safety with policing. so we say we need safety. that means we need more police. but all the data shows everything we know shows that the safest communities. aren't the ones with the most police. there. the communities with the
3:16 pm
most resources and so for us a big push whatever is going on in city hall. whatever type of upheaval or drama's going on for us is always saying, like we're in communities like oakland, where we've had decades of divestment. of resources. that have led to a lot of income inequality. and social inequality. and we know those are the things that actually feel violence. and crime. and surprised if we want to if we want to end violence if we want to deal with crime for real, then we need to deal with social inequality and income inequality and get resources to our communities. so instead of saying there was a shooting that happened would how we're going to get more police on the streets. we should be saying this is the time to double down on housing affordable housing. quality education. mental health resources. living wage jobs. in 1 of the most expensive places in the bay area. we need to make sure people can afford to live here. um rather than saying we need to keep funneling more money into policing. and incarceration. because we keep doing that, but
3:17 pm
i'm not seeing the results of continuing to pour more money into police. and to incarceration. like where were the police on juneteenth? where we're the sideshow task force that we've funneled more money into over the last few years. where were they when all that happened? and i think that just further proves that more policing is not the answer, and we can't keep leaning into these tough on crime narratives or these are the same type of policies we had from the war on drugs and expect different results. and so we're all were a lot of what we're doing is always fighting to push back on these same really stupid policies. that didn't work then and they're not going to work now, and we know what works. we've seen it. we've proved >liz>it. >>like, for example, in richmond. you have the office and neighborhood and safety. reduce gun. violence and homicides by 50%. and it maintained that forward over 14 years so why do we have to? why are we still confused about how we address crime and violence when they were able to do it without policing? and they've demonstrated and maintained it, but it's still a question that's up in the air. every
3:18 pm
time the budget rolls around. we have to fight for more resources for our communities. that are under resourced. >liz>necessarily think the answer is a change at city hall. a change in leadership are you saying what we really need to change? in focus? >tfxw mic>we need a change in focus. on the way. that we talk about safety, right? so if we still think that more police is going to make us safer than we're still lying to ourselves the same way we have been for the last 20 years, just like saying just lock everybody up, locking people up didn't help. yeah. adding more police doesn't help because it doesn't deal with the root of why we have violence inquire mint our communities. leadership. does matter because it is helpful to have people who understand those things. and want to push for the proper cell. rather than ah. funneling and funneling. resources into the same into the same ideas that have continued to fail us. for decades. >liz>i want to talk a little bit about your organization because you really focus on the young people in oakland. empowering them to get involved
3:19 pm
in social justice. empowering them to be leaders. in the community. i'm curious if you feel like all of the turmoil we're hearing about. does that impact their drive to want to do something for their city? >tfxw mic>think if anything, it kind of actually does the opposite. i think it makes them feel more driven to get involved. because i think they're also in a space where they live. kind of the young people are a lot more advanced than i think most people give them credit for and i think that's just because you know they're there. they're on instagram there on tiktok there. really there watching the news? vary engaged. they know what's happening. and they also even understand that things like this things like we're talking about today. they understand the connection to income inequality and social inequality, and they see the difference in communities. that have resources and don't and they say they're living in these community, so it's not like they're not under a rock. they're not confused. and they're also not panicked in that way, because um for them, it's like it's really trying to understand. how does this
3:20 pm
impact my day to day life? how does it impact my family? how does this impact my community? is my school going to get more resources? and generally that's not the case, and that's why they get involved because they want to move things in that direction. and when they see turmoil like this, it drives them to want to get more involved. because you know, they feel like they can make a difference. and so i do think that part of our work is empowering young people, but it's also just providing a platform for them to do what they already know how to do >liz>because they're dealing with real life issues. every single day. they're >tfxw mic>not >>worried about the drama that might be happening with politicians. >tfxw mic>right >>right. so candor, iqbal. thank you so >tfxw mic>much >>urban peace movement. >tfxw mic>thank >>you. well, still ahead. they're also working for solutions to combat gun violence. in oakland. how this community group is reaching out to young people. to keep them on track.
