2:12 pm
you think he'll be back next season? no question that kyle shanahan is one of the best coaches in the nfl. he actually addressed the perception today that he can't win the big game. he said, listen, in order to get to the super bowl twice like we have. you've got to win a lot of big games. we've already won quite a few games, but he said that he understands that until he wins the super bowl. people will say that, however, he thinks people should recognize the fact that they already have one. a lot of big games in san francisco. kate rooney, thank you so much. and for the first time ever, a woman will be the play by play voice for a major league baseball team. jenny can bar was announced as the new >> primary announcer for the oakland a's. she is a broadcasting veteran with nearly 2 decades of baseball experience. she was previously a pre-game and post-game host for the colorado rockies for the past 12 years. she is also a regular contributor to the mlb network radio and can a virus called men's and women's

2:33 pm
need to build more housing we also need and the diction protection policy. and i'm working on that. also to get that passed into law on the crisis at the u.s. mexico border. >> i think that we need to invest in creating a lawful, orderly, humane immigration system and decade after decade, politicians in washington haven't done that. we will not have border security until we have comprehensive immigration reform. we didn't have a policy of the border that is consistent with our values as a nation. >> i also think we need border at the border. when the president open the floodgates. and created a crisis in the united states. he should be the one to step up. in closed the border. steve garvey did not speak to journalists following the debate, but he did a code. this message throughout the night. these are 3 career politicians. >> who failed the people, his opponents back to different. many of experiences that californians have. i've lived. but i also know how to turn
2:34 pm
those challenges into policies and funding priorities and make life better for everyone. i don't see washington doing enough to solve our problems, bringing down the cost of childcare, making housing affordable for our workforce, addressing climate change. and so i'm really running to shake up the senate to make sure that it's working for californians not for big corporations. we need to do or in the senate. that knows how to get things done. >> a i've long track record of doing that. i'm going to deliver for california and i would love to have their support. >> so what happens next? what the candidates tell me. they plan a campaign up and down the state in the final weeks ahead of primary election day. march 5th reporting in san francisco, a tonn wallace kron. 4 news. >> and if you missed the debate can always get a recap on our website. kron 4 dot com. just scan this qr code and we'll take you to a page where you can find the debate highlights and also see the viral moments. but now we're going to check in with our political expert michael yaki to get a recap of what stood out to him yesterday. so

2:36 pm
we're thinking that adam schiff, this kind of has the momentum taking the lead. who do you think came out? number 2, then? well, i think that that. i think like it depends. i guess depends on where you are and how analyze that. the katie porter. >> i did an excellent job. she tries it seems herself as a generation. we different candidate and the others as you try not to tears of loved into the, you know, you're the people with 60. i've years experience. i our guy was saying all along saying she was she was trying to do that, that the issue is going to be what kind of it's really going to be? what kind of turnout do we have in march if it's a depressed republican turnout. and katie porter has a very good chance. i'm making it into the top 2. and and because of that, i think she's a very, very good chance winning the senate seat november. if you have. depress democratic turnout as well. if you have a higher than normal republican turnout because maybe they like steve garvey a lot of southern california dreamin recent play baseball
2:37 pm
for the 2 teams down there. you know, he could he could have a shot to really is. i think horse race between between porter and garvey for second place and and we i don't think we're really going to know for certain until all the ballots are counted. a couple the couple weeks after election day. >> why do you think steve garvey doesn't want to say who's who he plans to vote for for president 2024, he did vote for trump in 2016 2020, but he won't say who plans to vote for this year. >> i think he's walking a very fine line. sure i don't know who is in pfizer's are, but they've actually said to him a lot of california's republicans don't like trump and then they and they're going to be california. republicans. we're going come out and vote for trump the matter what in the primary now standing the fact that he may have it all wrapped you may be reckoned it up that day. so he's trying not to offend them and eastern desert given not awake to the moderates, especially in orange in the swing districts in orange county and even up in the bay area to say, you know, i'm not
