saturday's attack also left one rally, spectator dead and 2 others critically injured. the fbi identified the shooter as 20 year-old thomas matthew crooks at this hour, the motive for the shooting remains unclear. let's bring in our reporter tino bovenzi who is live for us now in butler, pennsylvania, where the attack on the former president happened. tina, what are you seeing out there at this hour? >> stephanie, good morning. it's been a very restless night for investigators here who are working to process evidence and control the perimeter here outside of this fairgrounds area where a 20 year-old man unsuccessfully carried out his attempt to assassinate the 45th president of the united states. the fbi has positively identified thomas matthew crooks as the shooter. crooks is a bethel park, pennsylvania native, an area just south of pittsburgh. investigators are working to determine his motive right

now. but it seems it would be to prevent donald trump from re assuming the presidency. officials say crooks climbed a roof outside of the perimeter of trump's campaign rally, firing multiple rifle shots at the stage. one of those bullets gracing the right ear of the former president. he was bloodied but the republican nominee for pre-ident was not seriously injured. the u.s. secret service confirms that one person in the stands was shot and killed and 2 more people were critically wounded. this area is now secure and the threat is over, but the work is far from over for investigators. >> the chaotic scene, law enforcement, i believe acted heroically quickly identifying and neutralizing the threat as well as responding to assist the various victims. >> right now we need the public's help. anyone who was on scene who saw anything

police. there's a guy kron on the roof and we saw a rifle slung over his shoulder yeah, after that, a couple shots fired off. so. wasn't very it was. it was scary. i grabs all my family that was nearby and ran and got in the shelter and i came back out. ran back and grabbed more as much as i could. as long as my family was safe. so yeah, it was. pretty traumatic for everyone. >> president joe biden also reacting after cutting his trip to delaware short. he spoke with trump just hours after that assassination attempt. president biden also addressing the nation in a live televised address last night saying there is no room for this kind of violence in the country. watch this. >> there's no place in america is kind of violence, sick. reason or a few 90's country.

republican national convention in wisconsin, which is set to kick off tomorrow. we know that donald trump previously pledged to the national rifle association that if elected he would reverse gun restrictions put in place by the biden administration. but could this attempted assassination change that? our political analyst michael yaki weighs in. >> should change the tone. but i'm just telling you right now that i've heard from for marjorie taylor, greene and others that that the heart right there, going out there and basically making this the fault or the instigation are the direct result president biden and the democratic party. and i think that, you know, we should not do that. we when paul pelosi was attacked. you know, we were there say this is resulta, blah, blah. i mean, we're talking about if there are crazy people out there. i wish i could say something would happen. i don't think in mainly for the short term. i don't think though, that, for

example, anyone sill seriously say well. depending how the spurs obtain their in pennsylvania, by the way, is one of the most for places in the country own a gun. you know, it's going to talk about gun control. those are we talking about the kind of weapon that this person may views that we find out what kind of was where the kind of ammunition. but those those kinds of discussions have been pretty much got it by the current supreme court. >> and stay with us here on kron 4 for the very latest on this breaking story for the latest developments. anytime. head to kron 4 dot com. or you can check out the kron 4 app which is free to download. all right. let's get a check of the weather with dave spahr morning. a very busy day for us newsroom. how are things looking at the weather center? >> okay. good morning, stephanie. good morning, we have that fog. that's return to kind of shows you how that high pressure is sort of weakening a little bit. the heat statements and so forth of all been kind of retired. now you'll notice the

difference this afternoon, even a few folks well inland. but fog is here and causing some minor delays at the airport about 45 minutes or so. you can see it kind of start to rip away. but it's lingering a little bit around the hills. you can see off to the distance back to the fog program here. here's the coverage around the bay approximately. and you can see it take spacey all morning to really kind of peel away. and there are some problems spots along the coast. you may not see some a lot of those much sun, maybe and some coastal locations. this afternoon. we've got 60's covering a good chunk of the east bay 50's. meanwhile, up north, how does that compare to 24 hours ago? pretty close, although we're still trailing in some of those inland spots and it will be even cooler this afternoon. the breakdown for you. 76 by 11 by 2 will talk about 89. will that feel so much better to say? we've got a pretty mild forecast coming this week, but watch out another heat spike around the bend. stephanie. dave, thank you. >> coming up on the kron 4 morning news, we're learning more about the attempt on former president donald trump's life. stick around. we have the latest.

abilities after learning the shots appeared to come from an elevated position outside the rally venue. that roof should have a law enforcement presence. >> or it should be under surveillance and of somebody positions themselves on the roof like this person good with a firearm. they never should have been able to able to shoot the firearm. the terrifying moment bringing back memories for nearly half the population of america's last attempted assassination on its commander in chief. >> president ronald reagan was shot in 1981 after speaking at an event in d c virgin says the secret service learned a lot that day because of that incident. >> we'll never see a president. exit the building and then walk in the open to the motorcade that the response to the incident was textbook. >> as we've learned, the shots were coming from stage, right? so the day evacuated. the president's states left.

unfortunately, that's where the motorcade was. while the motive remains unclear. attack on trump follows a string of political violence in america. >> the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol. the hammer-wielding man who attacked the husband of former speaker nancy pelosi and the california man who threatened to kill supreme court justice brett kavanaugh as the investigation into the attack begins the political unrest only seems to be getting more intense. >> and that was and jelly contained reporting for us. we know the fbi will lead the investigation into saturday's attack. all right, 7.16 this morning and we're getting a live look at the white house. we know that president joe biden, he actually his home in delaware early last to return to the white house. and we also know he had a conversation with former president trump just hours shortly after that assassination attempt on trump's life it's a lot of developing news coming out of this. let's turn now to a day

for a look at our local weather. >> okay, good morning, stephanie. good morning, we're going back to that fog again this morning. as you can temperatures will be dropping inland. you'll feel a bigger difference today as we were really take out the role bite. but the least heat latest heat spike. we had, by the way, as i tease earlier, it looks like we're looking at another one potentially developing into next weekend. something to watch east bay shoreline. it's just covered in the ground fog for right now that marine layer is getting squeezed a bit, not as hot above us as it was yesterday. it's only in the 80's, i say only but yesterday was in the 90's in the morning hours. we've got 60's for the east bay, some upper 50's at work here to 59 livermore in fremont up to the north bay there see all those 50's as well. 64 for san jose storm tracker. 4 shows the high that we've talked about as it starts to wane with that low kind of cleaning things up for us that is aloft and talking about, yes, we had take care of the fog first, but at least we're taking here. some of the cloud cover a lot. you'll see a little more sun inland today. so if you got to have those warm temperatures, why not with the

warm temperatures, the left over business of all that moisture out towards the mountains that shower and thundershower activity will continue. and it still has to go through a dry layer. so that is still a little problematic. fog comes back again, as you can see tomorrow morning. i stop that here about 2.15 to give you a general idea of the continue flare up in the mountains still as late as monday, although that's very, very widely scattered and some leftover fog around the bay just a little bit into the early afternoon before stress to really mix out a little bit. all right. here's what happens into tuesday morning. we go back to that same scenario. so what does that mean? we're getting a break. so for today, 90 is happening inland. but this week, mild early with 80's going on inland. okay. but turning hot again late in the weekend. you'll start to feel about thursday. question is, does it hold into the weekend? the thinking is we might be topping off their 100 yet again. so be watching a couple. those trouble spots. 68 san francisco with afternoon clearing take care of that morning. fog. 73 oakland, 84 san jose. the big

map only lower 80's. you can see some of the purples are starting to go away. the north bay got some lower 90's. they're looking ahead. that's a pretty good shot there. how about that? there's mount am you have a to around there, the fog and then aloft the skies start to clear on out. 89 looks like by tuesday and there's more treats to come with that. we'll get down to the you know, lower to the upper 80's like that for a couple of days of illness to pay. very good. thanks so much. data about. >> all right. well, the number of acres burned across the state this year is about 20 times what it was last year. firefighters and the governor now warning residents to remain vigilant throughout the summer. dan kerman reports. >> lawnmowers weed eaters, chainsaws. grinders welders, tractors and tremors. can all spark wildfires a news conference wednesday. cal fire chief joe tyler said californians must remain vigilant because fire season is now year round in his already in full swing. the california fire service as a whole. >> because responded to more than 3,500 wild land fires

that have burned more than 207,000 acres. so far this year that 200,000 acres now compares to just over 10,000 acres at this time last year, which cal fire says is all due to the weather. we see late rains that has a growing her basis. fields are grasses quickly. in some areas you can find that they are still 4 to 5 feet tall. we find ourselves here recently that we have the high temperatures associated with the high temperatures. we hadn't oars and west and northeast winds but a push the fires that have been ignited too, where we are today. lightning is not our friend when to sup 8 ing some lightning strikes this weekend up in the sierras. we saw abnormality of lightning strikes in the central valley, particularly around fresno. >> earlier in the season that were typically seen them. there's nothing again, typical. >> the governor says

california has the largest firefighting fleet of anywhere in the world. and then the last 6 years cal fire has increased its ranks by 3,000 with more to come over the next 5 years were committing the additional 2400. personnel to cal fire. that's making up for issues around cdcr. it's allowing us to augment our efforts and allowed us to do. and this is a long-winded point of gratitude to the legislature. >> to maintain my commitment that i made. but it can't be. mine alone had to be our commitment. it had to be ratified and supported by the legislature as it relates to the quality of life. the wellness of members of cal fire. >> dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> coming up on the kron 4 morning news. we continue our breaking coverage on the attempted assassination of donald trump at saturday's campaign rally. stay with us.

minute delay or so. but with that first things, first, we take care of the fog open up the skies a little bit around the bay. we void and that in those inland spots there. but to what's happening a lot. there are a few little scattered clouds here with that low. that will kind of clean it all out. but you can kind of get a shot of this. what's going on? some rain trying to happen a lot in the central valley, however, not make much progress. you can see some lightning strikes on that as well. that extends up to the mountains. however, though, some upslope in, as we say in the trade, a lower 60's covering a little good chunk of the east bay. we've got 59 for livermore 50's. meanwhile, up north and this compares to some cooler numbers in london. however, along the coast are pretty much on the money from where they were from yesterday. let's try about 76 going on by 11 by 2 at about 89 again, faster clearing for the bay. plenty of sunshine well inland. we're taking some of that bite out. by the way, that bite is coming back again with another heat spike by the weekend. stephanie. >> take a look at what happened.

>> top story this morning that failed attempt to assassinate former president donald trump. someone in the audience was fatally shot. 2 others critically injured. secret service agents killed the gunman now identified as 20 year-old thomas matthew crooks from pennsylvania. the ne simlot breaks down. what happened? >> a searing moment saturday afternoon. former president donald trump says the bullet pierced his upper ear in a shooting at a campaign rally. take a look at what happened. you can see the moment president trump grabbed his face and duct in a post on truth social. the former president says he immediately felt the bullet ripping through his skin. secret service returned fire, killing the shooter. as secret service lifted p fist pumps to the

crowd. photos show blood on trump's face. issa and smith says he was standing outside the western pennsylvania rally by the fence. probably a minute or 2 before the shooting. >> sa guy, gray shirt climbing up the metal roof on the building the site. he says he saw the shooter with a rifle over his shoulder. after that, a couple shots fired president biden says he's been briefed on the shooting. he cut his weekend trip to delaware short after the attack on the former president. there's no place in america. kind of violence sick. it's sick. president biden spoke with former president trump on saturday evening. the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just not appropriate. >> everybody, everybody must condemning. the trump campaign says the republican national convention will begin monday as planned. >> in washington, i'm the day some lot.

>> former president donald trump issuing a statement saying he's been thinking about the people at the rally who were affected by that attack saying on truth, social quote, i want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. it is incredible. such an act can take place in our country. and we continue our coverage of this assassination attempt. let's bring in communications professor nolan with the university of cal state east bay. the morning to you. so thanks so much for being here of what first of all, the optics of this moment we see the former president, he's standing at the podium moments later. gunshots rang out. you see the blood on his face. secret service responding to that moment. what's the effect that this has on the public? >> remains to be seen how the public will react. from what we've seen so one thing that was very trumpian, i would say about that the scene was that trump likes to project strength. stopping the secret

service from removing him from the stage for just a moment or 2 to raise his fist. now the crowd cheer. i think that's going to be iconic video and photo that will be played over and over again by trump and his supporters to illustrate the types strength hopes the project. >> and speaking of that, a response from his supporters as well. we saw a lot of reaction on social media from the general public and also from different tech leaders, whether it was here in the bay area and beyond to walk us through what you're seeing there. >> yeah, i the incident is a good reminder of many things. but one in particular is why it's so important suspend judgment when these type of events this is a pretty a chaotic you know, a lot of people are being interviewed informations coming in and we start to get a picture eventually of what happened. but in the immediate i thought people were way too quick to jump to the former president's

son blamed on the radical left. i saw people online saying it was a false flag. these are things there's no way we could know at that time. there's no evidence to justify any of those that time or even even now at this point. and i think that's that knee-jerk reaction creates a lot of we start to draw conclusions about evidence. this is how you get false information out there. and that perhaps a consequence the right? but the viral nature of how things can go on social media >> i'm curious also to get your perspective on how republicans respond to this, perhaps also president biden. he did cut short his time in delaware get back to the white house pretty quickly. and we understand he also had a phone call with president trump shortly after that assassination attempt. >> you know, my husband, joe biden, i think was was pretty well. was a leader. he immediately came out, spoke to the nation about the tragedy.a try try to offer some comfort that the federal government is

taking this seriously. i think you also recognize we all do of how polarized this country is. and so the fact that he and former president trump are able to engage in a phone call, i think that's really seem like a minor events. but i think it's really important that those lines of communication are opened. as far as the republicans, it remains to be seen convention coming up this week. and i think there's a lot of power in the hands. the republican party right now. they can either turn this event into something to rally and unite the country you know, example of why the polarization of political violence or are problematic or they could go the other route. they could use it as a political tool to further those divisions and blamed the left's you normalize further this deep division that we've been experience over the last few decades. and of course, we know that there's been a lot of attention previously. >> on president joe biden's performance at the first

presidential debate. how do you see perhaps the narrative now changing at this point? >> i think it in terms of politics and political discussions, i joe biden is at least happy that a lot of the focus will probably turn away from him in his age and dropping out of the race and turned toward questions of political violence and gun violence. the secret service. so this will probably president biden arrest. from a lot of the criticisms he's have thus far, but the other part of that typically when there's event like people rally the victim, a most famously reagan saw about a 20 points improvement in his approval ratings after the attempted assassination on him. so i imagine trump is going to see a bump in in support as a result of this event politically speaking is not going to be great for biden's electoral chances. >> and of course, we also know

trump has been a supporter of the nra as well. he's pledged his support to he said he's going to roll back a lot of regulations that the biden administration has put in if trump were return to the white house. >> do you see this assassination attempt changing that for from trump's perspective? >> who knows if you know presidents evolve in and change a trump stick to the same rhetoric and policy positions on guns. he said previously or the shooting could change his mind that we saw this with with reagan. reagan was much more open to support things like assault weapon ban that things like that after the shooting that occurred with him. once a bullet graze your ear, it could change your mind. remains to be seen how trump will react. >> all professor nolan higdon with the university of cal state east bay. thank you so much for your time this morning. all right. and you can stay with kron 4 for the very latest on this story.

lots to come. lots more developments to come as well. you can head to the kron 4. our website kron 4 dot com where you can download the kron forecast. for more on that. all right. let's get a quick check of our weather with dave sphar. dave. >> okay, we come back. we'll take a look at these temperatures. a little bit more detail in the 4 zone forecast. we do see inland. we're getting into the lower 90's. that's an improvement back into kron. 4 morning news continues.

>> all right. welcome back to the kron. 4 morning news 7.41. this morning and federal state and local law enforcement officials are on high alert ahead of monday's republican

national convention. that's happening in milwaukee, former chairman of california's republican party, tom del beccaro shared what security measures can be expected here. >> look, i'd be surprised if there were any big rallies anytime soon without some dramatic changes, right? this kind shot from a distance away with a large got. so i think there will be a change. look, you can walk up to yankee stadium. i hate saying this out loud or you can walk up to sofi. incredibly before there's a metal detector. i think been saying this for 15, some years, that to be some different, some recognition that we're not in the we have to do better with our security. i'd be surprised if there is an event anytime soon. and the security for for at milwaukee's going to be off the charts. i can't imagine how long it will take to get inside that building.

pennsylvania senator john fetterman is also responding to the shooting. watch this. >> it's difficult this point to ignore what she with. butler where heat is the apparently so i would also take this opportunity >> all right. let's turn now to the situation that's closer to home here. looking outdoors at court tower looking a bit gray on the skies there. a touch of a breeze their day. yeah, that is that we have that continuation of the onshore winds. good morning, stephanie. good morning. all. >> as that high stress to weaken a little bit more. so we'll get some more influence that we typically get now and bring those numbers down. the seasonality headed to tahoe.

we do have the chance of a flare up of some thunder showers. i think going forward, we're going to be further south so that to early start of the week drop in the lower 80's, not too bad there. a certain getting the feeling of summer. beautiful picture coming in from mount tam. there's the fog here at the ground. and then meanwhile, aloft son is waiting for us soon as this fog burns off. 66 antioch, 59 for a little more east bay shoreline in the lower 60's 50's. meanwhile, up to the north stormtracker 4 has that low. that's kind of in our backyard. it's kind of doing a nice cleaning job as the high moves. but the transition is driving some instability with some lightning strikes there. and pretty much the center of the state of put this on here. this means the prediction center says you could have some flare up of an isolated shower. scattered about hear thunder shower for the parts of the central valley. but more importantly off towards the east. so that high is starting to wane. now and our low. we start to lose that as well as this front passes. but afterwards we see another heat spike trying to develop here a sting pattern here. it's like

a high trying to develop out to sea as well. so that will be something to watch as we head into next weekend. we have hints of it already. 68 san francisco. it's keeping the lower 60's at the coast. the start, the fog to be more stubborn today. 76 for burning game. 85 city, 80 palo alto in the south bay us to about 84 san jose. 91. meanwhile, for morgan hill, those numbers have improved a little bit there. tri valley. you're looking about 90 lower 90's at that dublin, 88 84 hayward. let's try about 89 walnut creek, 69 for berkeley. so we'd be coupled we have that contrast, help drive some local winds here. the at 69 89. meanwhile, for a fairfield, 82 for a nap at 85 for santa rosa. there's today's highs forecast here and there we going to have the seven-day here. we get down to about 90 or so in the middle portion of the week. there's the buildup of them. that's next. heat spike is a possibility into next weekend. stephanie, we might be revisiting a couple of spots into around 100, but we don't

64 san jose and most readings are close to where they were from yesterday, but trailing quite a bit inland. you can see in the far east bay and even up to fairfield in concord a bit. the breakdown for you today about 82 at high noon to 3 o'clock 89. that's right. 80's through much of the day today, retiring the triple digits and even the 90's. but maybe just taking a little bit of a hiatus. we may be seeing some hot temperatures returning morning forecast and it stephanie. >> dave, thank you. and coming up on the kron 4 morning news, we're learning more about the attempted assassination. our former president, donald trump. stay with us.

>> a 13 this morning. let's bring our reporter tino bovenzi bovenzi, rather who was live for us now in butler, pennsylvania, where the attack on former president donald trump happened. you know, what are you seeing out there now? >> right now, it's a lot of the same, stephanie. there still is a perimeter around with a lot of road closed. signs up. a lot of access is blocked off right now as investigators continue to work tirelessly through the night and morning here, too, figure out what exactly led to the events where a 21, a 20 year-old man attempted to and unsuccessfully carried out an assassination attempt on former president donald trump. that possibly identified. thomas matthew crooks, as the shooter crooks is a bethel park, pennsylvania native, an area just south of pittsburgh.

investigators are working to determine his motive currently, presumably to stop trump from winning the election. officials say crooks climbed the roof of an outside of a building outside the perimeter of trump's campaign rally, firing multiple rifle rounds at the stage. one of those bullets grazing trump's right ear blood being the president. but the presumptive republican nominee for president was not seriously injured. the u.s. secret service confirms that one person in the stands was shot and killed and 2 more people were critically wounded. this area is now securing the threat is seemingly over. but the work for investigators continues. many people attending this rally last night wonder how could this happen? and is this a failure of security? >> really at this point, we're not going to make that assessment. there's there's an active investigation. a lot of things need to occur. investigative lee to make those determinations of what if any failures that were. so

really we can't comment on that this time. >> there is a large contingent of media states year about a quarter mile outside of the butler farm show fairgrounds. police are keeping us at a distance to make sure that we don't slow down deter their investigation at this point. again, as former president donald trump, you seemingly in good spirits and doing ok after being shot grazed by a bullet on his right ear is a video that was posted on x by his campaign or director of communications, rather that showed him walking down the steps of trump force. one unassisted looks like he's ready to continue on the campaign trail. his next stop is slated for milwaukee, wisconsin. stephanie. also understand from your reporting that at least 3 victims affected by this 2 critically injured, one dead of winter, we expect to learn and identification identity around these victims. >> right now we know that they are 3 males who were shot and

killed there working to notify the next of kin from what we understand from the press conference last night. but right now, that's about all we have, stephanie. >> all right. you know, vote bovenzi. thank you so much for your ongoing coverage of this developing news. we appreciate it. >> all right. back here at home in the bay area. live look outside from our walnut creek camera. traffic moving along pretty smoothly at 8.16, on the roadways out there. let's check in now with day for the latest on our weather. >> okay, stephanie, good morning and good morning, everybody. there you see the nice contrast at work here. the inland spots already nice opening up here. and yet we're still dealing with a fog even at this hour. it's ground fog at this level. however, right above us, of course, as typical form the inversion situation, we got to mix it out. and when warmer air is up there, rather just drier air, which has both. it's a very buoyant, a hard to get moving up here. 60 for livermore at this hour now. 69 for cup north, mostly 50's. we have 64 san jose. there it is a low

off of our coast on the cleaning job, kind of cleaning up the atmosphere. and when we say that it's not so much the fog of the sometimes those can help as well. but you see the flare up of the showers and some thunder showers. we've seen lightning strikes in that and that's typical along that spine of the mountains there on the western side of the high there. you can see it continue to rotate like this. however, it will be a player. looks like later on in the forecast as we get to the weekend. here it is on futurecast for clearing out the skies, the flareup of those thunder showers. but you can see how it's pushed a little bit further to the east. now. not so much in the central valley. we get the spilling in of the overnight fog which lingers at some coastal locations as late as the mid afternoon with again, the flareup of showers and some thunder showers and fortune. sometimes those are dry and that could be problematic. so breaking this all down here this week, we've got mild early. that's a lot of 80's going on inland. so a nice treat for us right around the 90 degree mark or so. then the latter portion of the week. it looks like thursday's are bump back again for what we may see. another heat spike

returning. that's 100 plus or spots. we're saying 100 plus not 105. and getting up to one 10 and that kind of business, at least not yet. that has to be watched. 68 san francisco, 73 for oakland. 84 san jose there in the lower 90's off the east bay, mild 80's. meanwhile, up north there, 84 for san jose. check it out. mount tam picture that we got the fog of the ground. some scattered clouds aloft will take care for this afternoon and 80's and 90 going on for much of the 7 day. i'm going to have the seven-day forecast later on. but boy, it's a nice little treat after all we've been through wonderful. thank you so much about. >> the number of acres burned across our state this year is about 20 times what it was last year. firefighters and the governor now warning residents to remain vigilant throughout the summer. kron four's dan kerman reports. >> lawnmowers weed eaters. chainsaws. grinders welders, tractors and tremors. can all spark wildfires at a news conference wednesday. cal fire chief joe tyler said

abnormality of lightning strikes in the central valley, particularly around fresno. >> earlier in the season that are typically seen them. there's nothing again, typical. >> the governor says california has the largest firefighting fleet of anywhere in the world. and in the last 6 years, cal fire has increased its ranks by 3,000 with more to come over the next 5 years were committing the additional 2400. personnel to cal fire. that's making up for issues around cdcr. it's allowing us to augment our efforts and allowed us to do. and this is a long-winded point of gratitude to the legislature. >> to maintain my commitment that i made. but it can't be mine alone had to be our commitment. it had to be ratified and supported by the legislature as it relates to the quality of life. the wellness of members of cal fire. >> dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> coming up on the kron 4 morning news. we continue our coverage on the attempted

>> now on the kron 4 morning news. former president donald trump narrowly escaping an assassination attempt while at a campaign rally. get to that top story in just a moment here. but thank you so much for joining us here on the kron. 4 morning news. >> you started this half hour with a look at the forecast. but dave spahr, hey, dave. >> okay. good morning, stephanie. good morning, everybody. and we're starting today off as we traditionally do with a lot of fog. again, it's a little bit more aggressive today, but it will peel away few folks in the afternoon and around the bay inland that already done so and it's a nice cooling mechanism as we get that ernest onshore wind at work. now, sfo because of this fall, we're seeing a minor delay about 40 45 minutes or so. there you get an idea. the fog

bank right behind us here a little bit. now we take a look at the radar because we do actually have some spots appear on at least the state radar. now, this low is kind of insulating us and clearing us out, at least for the clouds are aloft. it doesn't help so much for the fog that takes some time. but there you see the lightning strikes there and there are some rain showers, us. some rain has been collected with that in the mountains. this is pretty much south of tahoe. however, and that will flare up again. it looks like tomorrow and maybe even as late tuesday as the pattern starts to change a little bit. now, there you see a lot of 60's in the east bay 50's. meanwhile, up north, 64 san jose contrast say where a little cooler inland you can see kind of drops off a little bit. for example, livermore 10 degrees behind. but it's pretty close when you get close to the bay with the numbers yesterday. just the breakdown for you about 82 by high noon. we'll do about 90 by 3 o'clock. our general forecast calls for highs around 68, san francisco. 73 for opening before for san jose. by the way, nice to see those 70's return to the east bay shoreline there. but

there's still plenty of 80's to be had maybe today after tomorrow will see hayward and fremont drop off to the 70's to end the 90's being replaced by 80's inland. so at your 4 zone forecast, look at that extended which unfortunately has another heat spike in it. stephanie. >> take a look at what happened. back to our top story this morning. that failed attempt to assassinate donald trump. >> someone in the audience was killed. 2 others injured. secret service agents were able to kill they fatally shot the gunman now identified as 20 year-old thomas matthew crooks from pennsylvania. the nascent lot breaks down. what happened. >> a searing moment saturday afternoon, former president donald trump says the bullet pierced his upper ear in a shooting at a campaign rally. take a look at what happened.

you can see the moment president trump grabbed his face and duct in a post on truth social. the former president says he immediately felt the bullet ripping through his skin. secret service returned fire, killing the shooter. as secret service lifted trump up. he fist-bumped to the crowd. photos show blood on trump's face. issa and smith says he was standing outside the western pennsylvania rally by the fence. probably a minute or 2 before the shooting. >> sa guy, gray shirt climbing up the metal roof on the building the site. he says he saw the shooter with a rifle over his shoulder. after that, a couple shots fired president biden says he's been briefed on the shooting. he cut his weekend trip to delaware short after the attack on the former president. there's no place in america. kind of violence

sick. it's sick. president biden spoke with former president trump on saturday evening. the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just not appropriate. >> everybody, everybody much condemning the trump campaign says the republican national convention will begin monday as planned. >> in washington, i'm the day some lot. >> and former president donald trump issued a statement saying he's been thinking about the people at the rally who were affected by this saying on truth, social quote, i want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. it is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. and we continue our coverage on that assassination attempt. earlier today, i spoke with a communications professor, nolan higdon at cal state east bay. good morning to you. so thanks so much for being here of what first of all, the optics of this moment we see

the former president, he's standing at the podium moments later. gunshots rang out. you see the blood on his face. secret service responding to that moment. what's the effect that this has on the public? >> remains to be seen how the public will react. from what we've seen so one thing that was very trumpian, i would say about that the scene was that trump likes to project strength. stopping the secret service from removing him from the stage for just a moment or 2 to raise his fist. now the crowd cheer. i think that's going to be iconic video and photo. it'll be played over and over again by trump and his supporters illustrate the types strength, the ups, the project. and speaking of that, a response from his supporters as well. we >> saw a lot of reaction on social media from the general public and also from different tech leaders, whether it was here in the bay area and beyond to walk us through what you're seeing there.

>> yeah, i the incident is a good reminder of many things, but one in particular is why it's so important suspend judgment when these type of events this is a pretty a chaotic you know, a lot of people are being interviewed informations coming in and we start to get a picture eventually of what happened. but in the immediate i thought people were way too quick to jump to the former president's son blamed on the radical left. i saw people online saying it was a false flag. these are things there's no way we could know at that time. there's no evidence to justify any of those that time or even even now at this point, i think that's that knee-jerk reaction creates a lot of we start to draw conclusions about evidence. this is how you get false information out there. and that perhaps a consequence the right? the viral nature of how things can go on social media >> i'm curious also to get your perspective on how

republicans respond to this, perhaps also president biden. he did cut short his time in delaware get back to the white house pretty quickly. and we understand he also had a phone call with president trump shortly after that assassination attempt. >> yeah, my husband, joe biden i think was was pretty well. was a leader. he immediately came out, spoke to the nation about the tragedy. try try to offer some comfort that the federal government is taking this seriously. i think you also recognize we all do of how polarized this country is. and so the fact that he and former president trump are able to engage in a phone call, i think that's really important me. seem like a minor events, but i think it's really important that those lines of communication are open as far as the republicans, it remains to be seen convention coming up this week. and i think there's a lot of power in the hands. the republican party right now. they can either turn this event into something to rally and unite the country you

know, an example of why the polarization of political violence or are problematic or they could go the other route. they could use it as a political tool to further those divisions and blamed the left's you normalize further this deep division that we've been experience over the last few and of course, we know that there's been a lot of attention previously. >> on president joe biden's performance at the first presidential debate. how do you see perhaps the narrative now changing at this point? >> i think it in terms of politics and political discussions. i joe biden is at least happy that a lot of the focus will probably turn away from him in his age and dropping out of the race and turned toward questions of political violence and gun violence. the secret service. so this will probably president biden arrest. from a lot of the criticisms he's have thus far, but the other

part of that typically when there's event like people rally the victim, a most famously reagan saw about a 20 points improvement in his approval ratings after the attempted assassination on him. so i imagine trump is going to see a bump in in support as a result of this event politically speaking is not going to be great for biden's electoral chances. >> and of course, we also know trump has been a supporter of the nra as well. he's pledged his support to he said he's going to roll back a lot of regulations that the biden administration has put in if trump were return to the white do you see this assassination attempt changing that for from trump's perspective? >> who knows you know presidents evolve in and change a trump stick to the same rhetoric and policy positions on guns. he previously or the shooting could change his mind that we saw this with with reagan.

reagan was much more open to support things like assault weapon ban that things like that after the shooting that occurred with him. once a bullet graze your ear, it could change your mind or remains to be seen how trump will react. >> all professor nolan higdon with the university of cal state east bay. thank you so much for your time this morning. bay congressman eric swalwell joined a long line of politicians talking about what happened condemning violence and calling for unity. >> to anyone who is seeking to use for any political benefit. urge you not to do that. that unity must be our antidote in a moment like we've been through too much political violence in this we all suffered through january 6. the former speaker of the house, speaker pelosi in our backyard in the bay area had

her husband her husband was attacked violently and act of political violence. today's tragedy, a only a the concerns that all of us half. i also just want to say that i will not be by this. i know my colleagues will not be intimidated. i will do everything to protect my family. my staff, but i will my job and anyone who that we will be a country that turns to violence rather than voting for settling our political discourse is sadly sadly i'm mistaken. and so again, i'm glad that the former president is okay. i'm so grateful to law enforcement and every possible way. want to reiterate that violence is never been the answer in america. violence is not the answer in america and violence never will be the answer america.

>> the federal state and local law enforcement officials on high alert ahead of monday's republican national convention happening in milwaukee, former chairman of california's republican party, tom del beccaro shared what security measures can be expected. >> look, i'd be surprised if there were any big rallies anytime soon without some dramatic changes, right? this kind shot from a distance away with large got. so i think there will be i change. look, you can walk up to yankee stadium. i hate saying this out loud. you can walk up to sofi incredibly close before. there's a metal detector. i think been saying this for 15, some years, that to be some different, some recognition that we're not in the we have to do better with our security. i'd be surprised if there is an event anytime soon. and the security for for a at milwaukee is going to be off the charts. i can't imagine how long it will take to get inside that building.

>> we're casting our gaze to the trans american building pretty nice. as you can see, the fog still in place, although it's lifted a little bit more aloft as the morning starts to progress here a little bit more. so we're getting those overcast skies that will then turn into opening up the skies a little bit better, too, because happening a lot. look at that. lots of sunshine already happened from our mount tam picture. good morning, everybody. welcome back. and our forecast has some moderation. as we get into this week, we'll be talking about that in the extended forecast. first of all time was talking about some showers and some thunder showers going up there in the mountains that looks to be pretty south of tahoe. so you probably may get graze maybe a little bit by a flare up here or there. but by monday, we're going to go out and called some variable.

clouds are 80 82 for tuesday by wednesday about 83 ce were going pretty good on that front. maybe a little bit less with that numbers continue to improve. but remember the little closer to where the highs edge is? that's what's driving some of this transitional thunder showers, lower 60's in most of the east bay, although antioch racing 69 north bay got 50's and lower 60's. 64 san jose and 58 again for san francisco. there's the picture from space. again, that low's going it's still possible in the have central valley is kind of the border line, but it's going to be probably the the higher elevation because it gets up lifting factor that helps drive some of those afternoon showers. you have a when pop that happens this afternoon right across the carquinez strait. but elsewhere, numbers getting into the teens which is just a modest breeze. little bit more animated, though. it looks like tomorrow and that will help with the cooling process that we've talked about. as far as our players, there goes our low up towards the north. there's the high off towards the east. so pretty mild midweek. as we talk about. but

getting into next weekend, looks like another highs try to develop here and that could drive temperatures up for us as well. we already see them happening that way and into monday, the following week. that's when numbers may start to push little bit more into that spike zone. 68 san francisco in the 4 zone forecast lower 60's off towards the coast. 76 for burlingame. 85 city 80 for palo alto. meanwhile, the south bay about 84 east bay shoreline around 80 ish, get those in the 70's by tomorrow. lower 90's cover tri valley. looks like 89 the walnut creek and concord. 69 for berkeley. 69 vallejo nap at 80 to 85 santa rosa. this mild forecast next couple of days. hey, that's an improvement there. change happens on wednesday in the thursday friday. you see the upper 90's. we're still kind of, you know, working on all that to see the heat spikes coming our way, stephanie. but i think but next weekend will be flirting with ali. some locations getting 100. the next question is, does it take the next decade ok, so would you say

this is pretty typical? yes, this is very seasonal in case you're just wondering what one this is kind of close to what it should be if not a couple degrees below, ok, but it could. we're headed for another heat up. so, all right, dave, thank you. >> for your health, doctors are close to a potential cure for patients with lupus. >> it's an autoimmune disease impacting one and a half million people in the u.s. mostly women. dayna baer has more. >> we have my michael sell sept there. leshawn guirola has been for 25 stating symptoms can most definitely pay you. fatigue, ct scan all major organs are inflamed. my colon, my liver inflamed. if your immune system, which really protects you from bacteria, viruses and fungi >> actually, instead of protecting you, the make proteins that can damage these organs. the sun is not friends with people with lupus. so i do precious frequently on the

>> be able to identify ways to make this chemical into something to take bill. you clinic in the world. >> if there's some new research that can highlight why and how that's beneficial. because once you know what you're fighting you, how this come to be. you have some answers that you're not living by. >> and that was dina bair reporting for us. the next step is to move the research from the lab to the production line. the research team hopes to partner with a pharmaceutical company to get the treatment in the hands of patients within the next year or so. >> and >> happening today, best deal day celebrations. one of the places marking the occasion. the san francisco design center galleria and this is video from best deal day last year. the holiday honors the french revolution when citizens of paris storm the bastille prison in 17 89 today's event features authentic french food and drinks a dance party. and a

around the fairgrounds where a 20 year old man failed in his 45th president of the united - states. that man has been positively identified by the fbi as thomas matthew crooks of bethel park, pennsylvania, an area just south of pittsburgh. investigators are working to determine his motive, of course, but it's believed he is trying to stop trump from winning the election later this year. investigators say he climbed a roof outside of the perimeter of trump's campaign rally, firing multiple rifle shots at the stage. one of those bullets grazing the former president in his through his right ear. but the republican nominee, the presumed republican nominee for president was not seriously injured. the u.s. secret service does confirm, however, that one man was shot and killed in the stands behind trump and 2 more people were critically wounded. this area is now secure and the threat

trump, he is in good spirits according to his camp. and there's video of him walking down trump force one steps on assisted after this incident after being treated medically here in butler and released last night. i did speak to one trump supporter just a few minutes ago. a woman named lynn who lives near here. she says she shocked that something like this would happen in her small community. but stephanie, she says her confidence in donald trump for president is only going up after this event. >> sure to be a lot more news coming out of this story as well or tino bovenzi reporting live for us from butler, pennsylvania. thank you for your coverage. and we turn now to reaction to the trump rally shooting here in the bay area. let's bring in now. kron four's tiffany justice. know tiffany, local leaders are sharing a lot about this. >> they absolutely are. after the apparent assassination attempt against former president donald trump. bay area leaders are now reacting. we do know the former president was reportedly injured after shots were fired

at a rally on saturday. california governor gavin newsom taking to social media saying, quote, that violence has no place in our democracy. my thoughts are with president trump and everyone impacted at the rally. former speaker of the house commenting as well. nancy pelosi saying, quote, let us pray that all those in attendance at the former president's rally are unharmed. going on to say that as one whose family has been the victim of political violence. i know firsthand that political violence of any kind has no place in our society. san jose mayor matt mahan also saying like all americans, he shocked and horrified about the incident in pennsylvania going on to say no matter our respective political parties or believes we must commit to settle our disagreements with rational debate and popular votes, not bullets. this is a story that we will continue to follow all all those details reporting live us on news. back to you. all right, tiffany, thank you for your ongoing coverage on this.

>> and as we continue to bring you the latest on the attempted assassination of former president donald trump, bring in a former state gop chairman tom del beccaro. tom, thank you for joining us this very busy morning. yes, thank you. well, time start off here and walk us through the optics of this moment. it's pretty powerful, right? we see the former president. he's giving a presentation on stage one moment. the next moment we see his hands to his ear than blood trickling down the face. secret service agents just scrambling to the stage. walk us through the effect that this has on the public. >> well, i think this is an inflection moment for the united states. as you know, i've been writing about political divisions, causes and dangers for 20 years. now. it's really a question of how we respond to this in the past. with respect to jfk and the attempt on reagan's life. we have. rallied as a people

trying to rise above the moment. and in part that had a great deal to do with the manner in which lyndon johnson conducted himself after it. and also how reagan both of them sought to unify the country by. in johnson's case adopting the goals of jfk, even though quite honestly, he didn't agree with them. and then reagan talking about how we can do better and we'll have to see in the midst of this campaign if the 2 rivals are able to do the same. of course we are all this all also happening pretty much just days before the rnc in milwaukee, right? how do you see republicans really rallying around their candidate of choice here? >> just so, you know, the nation. what's our full? what happened with jfk and and responded to him and the same

happened with reagan. reagan was struggling in front of congress with his initiatives and then the assassination attempt occurred and the nation rallied around his initiatives. so what i expect happen in milwaukee is something no one has ever seen, which is for the person to be on national television right after reagan. of course, was severely injured and did not speak to the country for some period of time here. just days later, trump will be probably in the loud is building in the history of mankind. all with the whole world watching him. and i'm hopeful that he just present some positive message saying how the criminalization and dehumanization of each other in politics can no longer be the american way. >> okay. so a call for unity we know that trump has historically been quite close with the nra. do you see this assassination attempts? a

changing or a potentially having him adjust his tone around gun control at all. >> what i do think is necessary misses stunning to me that this rifle, is sit was so accessible within the home and that this person had balm equipment in his car and his house have no idea about this. i'm sure most americans are wondering. how that is possible and how someone of this age can be driven this far. i think that will be a big issue. it those that have in the past committed these atrocities that schools and otherwise have had severe mental issues. most of that i know someone who works with those kind patients and she's got over this exhaustively with me. that is a big deal in american today. the mental health of our children and

social media doesn't seem to be helping that as far as the gun issue altogether. i encourage people to take a step back and really look at this. but i also encourage everyone on earth. who is a parent who guns to really to look at themselves and say, have i taken enough precautions? is that something that can happen today? let's talk to about the response from the democrats shortly after this incident happened. we know that. >> president joe biden, he cut short his time in delaware to return to the white house. he's expected to get briefings on this incident today. we also know he had a phone call with donald trump not long after that shooting. biden also delivering that address to the nation. so >> how do you democrats to respond to all of this and how do you feel about the president's handling of the situation so far? >> well, i'm glad you got out there and spoke >> about how we need to condemn any such violence. we

also need as a country to tone down our rhetoric as a former attorney general bob barr's, said attorney general barr said who is not a fan of trump by any stretch. we have to stop saying it and say this to you. as historian. this notion that the that the country, the republic is on edge of and there's existential threats that simply not true, but that rhetoric and that that notion of of demonizing especially voters. look at adams jefferson were at each other's throat that they did not demonize voters. and we have to get to a point where voters can disagree on policy, but it doesn't have to rise that point. and both of these candidates need to make that point. >> alright, historian and former state gop chairman and author tom del beccaro. thank you so much for your insight this morning. ok, take care.

all right. well, we continue our coverage of that assassination attempt on donald trump. again, a quick check of the time here. 9.11. switch things over. real quick to the weather, though, with dave spahr did. what should we know today? >> okay. good stephanie. good morning, everybody. where seeing an improvement in our forecast as we see temperatures get a little closer to their averages and it looks like we will do that. there's some left unfinished business, if you will, up in the mountains a little bit as the transition between this high weakening off to the east was allowing the showers and the thundershowers to fire up. now, some of this is actually striking the ground. this is pretty much all south of tahoe and most of that cluster of lightning see their mammoth lakes. it looks like it's near. but as far as the base concern, we have mostly our fog in which to deal with in the home front and what's going to help clean things out aloft is that low? you can just see that clear line. developing where the low is and we don't think of a low pressure system is kind of cleaning out or atmosphere. but sometimes after something like a monsoon, which this kind of hinted at are sort of

in the tate a little bit here. this is will do a nice clean up job for us. that's the beauty shot of the east bay shoreline. all russelton fog there. we may see some fog linger at the coast a little bit later today. 60's cover the east bay 50's. meanwhile, up to the north bay and there's your breakdown about 86 by one at 4. 89 pretty close to those averages will be checking in your forecast be checking in your forecast in a bit. lot mor why do you do it? you ignore the signs, and the flashing lights. my mom is out there. that's my dad in that truck. slow down. how would you feel if that was your dad? be alert. be work-zone alert

political process. hillary and i are thankful that trump is safe. heartbroken for all those affected by the attack at today's rally and grateful for the swift action of u.s. secret service. the former president george w bush also reacting saying laura and i are grateful that the president, the former president is safe following the cowardly attack on his life. we commend the men and women of the secret service for their speedy response. and finally, former president echoing his predecessors saying there is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. well, we don't yet know exactly what happened. we should all be relieved that former president trump was not seriously hurt and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. michelle and i are wishing him a quick recovery. we're also hearing from eyewitnesses to the shooting this morning. man who says he lives just a few yards away from where that rally happened in pennsylvania, spoke about what he moments before shots were fired. >> probably a minute or 2

before the shooting. sa guy, gray shirt climbing up the metal roof on the building inside u.s. didn't know what he was doing in trying to alert police. there's a guy kron on the roof and we saw a rifle slung over his shoulder yeah, after that, a couple shots fired off. so. wasn't very it was scary. i grabs all my family that was nearby and ran and got in the shelter and i came back out. ran back and grabbed more as much as i could. as long as my family was safe. so yeah, it was. pretty traumatic for everyone. >> and president joe biden also reacting after cutting his trip to delaware short. he spoke with donald trump just hours after the assassination attempt. the president also addressing the nation in a live televised address last

night say there is no room for this kind of violence in the country. watch. >> there's no place in america kind of violence, sick. it's sick. 2 a few 90's country. cannot allow for to be happening. cannot be like we cannot condone this. and so i want to thank the secret service and all include stating that making sure that people and i we have more details come relative other people may be injured in the audience. i don't have all that detail will make that available to you. the bottom line trump rally, rally that should have been able can be conducted peacefully without any problem. but the idea idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just not appropriate. everybody, everybody must come down. everybody. >> new this morning, former president donald trump releasing his own statement on

truth, social calling for unity. he says, quote, in this moment is more important than ever that we stand united and show our true character as americans remaining strong and determined not allowing evil to win. he added he looks forward to speaking at the republican national convention in wisconsin, which is set to kick off tomorrow. and new this morning, former first lady melania trump broke her silence in regards to that attempted assassination of her husband and just like her husband, melania statement also focuses on unity, saying in part, quote, this morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol and the simple not ideas that ignite violence. we all want a world where respect is paramount. family is first and love transcends. we can realize this world again, each of us must a man to get it back. we must insist that respect feels the cornerstone of our relationships. we also know donald trump previously pledged to the national rifle association that if elected he would reverse gun restrictions put in place by the biden administration. but could this

attempted assassination change that? our political analyst michael yaki weighs in. >> that should change the tone. but i'm just telling you right now that i've heard from for marjorie taylor, greene and others that the heart right there, you're going out there and basically to making this the fault or the instigation or the direct result president biden and democratic party. and i think that, you know, we should not go there. with o c was attacked we were there say this is derek resulta, blah, blah. i mean, we're talking about if there are crazy people out there. i wish i could say something would happen. i don't think in mainly for the short i don't think though, that, for example, anyone will seriously say well, depending how the spurs obtain their in pennsylvania, by the way, is one of the most for places in the country to have to own a gun. you know, it's going to talk about control. those we

to die short we did. at the time he had yet to speak to president trump. i think they connected later in the evening and he wanted me to know he was trying to reach too. former prnsident. i think that was the honorable and right thing to do. i'm glad the president biden did that. have no unmet needs at this time and will working in concert with our federal partners. and i let the president coming talk to the families of those injured and to >> i spoke to the family of one of them and the left a detailed message. i'm not going to get into their status that will be shared by the pennsylvania state police and with the said, i just missed the last part of which

>> i have directed that flags be flown at half-staff in corey's memory. >> chief of staff is working through process now. my message to all pennsylvanians, my message to all americans is to be from your to believe what you believe to advocate for what you believe to be engaged. >> in the political and civic process, but always do so peacefully. remember that while we may be democrats or republicans above all else, we are americans. >> and if you look at the story of this great nation of the last 248 years, a nation that was born right here pennsylvania. it's been wooden area. americans every single step of the way rising up demanding more seeking justice, advocating for change in doing so peacefully. and

those who have advocated for such change peacefully, they have been the ones to bring that about. we have to remember that even in these times where there are real divisions. have to address those divisions through engagement in the political and civic process peaceful manner that it's incumbent upon all political leaders of all parties. and it incumbent upon the public. i will tell you that notwithstanding the tragedy that we saw last night. here in pa the awful tragedy. that every day when i'm around pennsylvania, i see the very best of pennsylvania people who do have for police, people who do have passion, police but really gauge peaceful man. >> and who love their neighbors and gauge with people in their communities, even those that they might have differences. we need to learn from our history in this commonwealth and this country. we need bring our better angels forward carry that

forward into this. political will take 4 more >> that was pennsylvania governor josh shapiro giving that live news conference responding to the attempted assassination. former president donald trump. we heard him saying his message being you know, people should be firm and their believes to advocate what they believe in and to be engaged in the civic process, but that it's important to do so peacefully. all right. we will continue to monitor that press conference for breaking coming out of that. but in the meantime, let's turn now to communications professor nolan higdon of cal state east bay for some additional perspective in context around all of this. good to see you again this morning, professor. all right. so to start us off here of what we just the governor of pennsylvania providing some remarks, a lot of people providing their perspective on really this very historic moment. how do you see, first of all, what's

your reaction to republicans reaction to this moment? >> well, i'm quite let you know, not just by republicans, but a lot of the discourse in seen online and by we there's a lot of details emerging in especially with a breaking news event like things are going to be messy. we're going to get information and pieces. and one of the big problems i have seen in the u.s. recently and in the digital era in particular is that people jump to conclusions without you know, i've heard everything from from false flags to the liberals were behind this to jobs. all these baseless claims there's no evidence to support being thrown around. and i don't think people realize that the gravity of of the of this situation when they make these comments, those things are spreading go. they go viral and people start to internalize them and we need to do is get down the truth. what actually did happen here hopefully prevent this from happening again.

let's not lose sight of the fact we lost a life here. so i think people should take a lot more serious and the la mer judicious and things they post about this events until they have evidence to support the things they and is there any way to control that you say is the is there some responsibility on the behalf of social media companies? >> to build in some sort of some guardrails to prevent this sort of thing from happening. that misinformation spread. >> i think radical idea of democracy is that we put the how the power in the hands of the so i'm a little uncomfortable big tech to make determinations about what we post or si. think the responsibility of all americans. if if you really care about democracy and you have care about principles of truth, please just slow down. think before you post share like or write something, you don't want to be a part of the so-called fake news problem. you want to be part of the solution and spreading things that are not well supported with evidence. makes you part of the problem. >> well, turning now the from

the democrats as well. we mention we talked a bit about this actually in our 07:00am and am hour, but would like to revisit this again for 09:00am viewers some president biden, he did cut his time in delaware. sure to return to the white house said he had a phone call with former president trump not long after the shooting happened. walk us through your response to that interaction. there. >> i think president did a good job in my estimation for the office of the presidency is supposed to do in moments like when there's tragic event like this causes so much fear and anxiety and concern and confusion, we have to turn to the president and to let us know what is the nation doing for the people in this moment? so i think biden made it clear that the he's taken a serious he won't tolerate this. he won't entertain any justification for it and he's going to do what he can as our congress to ensure that something like this will not happen again. i think it's

also particularly that we've been in the midst of the era of deep political divisions, very hyper polarized climate. and so the fact that he and former president trump or able to would seemingly was a brief phone call. i think it's a big deal. i think it's really important that we start talking across the city logical disagreement is very good for democracy, but we need to temper down the rhetoric that there's no way we can live with each other okay. of course the rnc is happening tomorrow and milwaukee. >> what it what do you forecast to come out of that convention given your expertise in communications? >> well, would like to say what we're going to see is a unifying message for all americans. but i think some of the politicians we've seen come out thus far from the republican side of the aisle. seem very comfortable to blame this event on liberals and liberal rhetoric and biden's rhetoric and given that the convention you know, starting

on on a monday, i republicans are going to use the news cycle to hammer that message remind audiences that trump was a show. the video of how trump stood up with his fists near with blood on his face. and continue to derive so i'm unfortunately expecting divisive rhetoric that i would love to be wrong. >> what do you needs to change in order for us to get away from that divisive rhetoric. i mean, it's it's not going to be solution that people are going to come up with tomorrow. but any small micro adjustments that need to happen here. >> i think there's a we can and there's a lot we can do at the individual you know, i think what was mentioned earlier, resisting the urge to to comment on post and post on things when we don't have evidence. i'm learning to disagree with someone's arguments that but not attack them personally and try to reach out to those we disagree m with and find some human connection. you know, you may

never convince them on one policy or one politician. i'm reminding them that you're credible person, a caring person and that we're all americans and we have to learn to get along. even when we disagree. >> all right. professor nolan to do with cal state east bay, thank you for your time this morning. east bay congressman eric swalwell joins a long line of politicians talking about what happened condemning violence and calling for unity. >> to anyone who is seeking to use for any political benefit. urge you not to do that. that unity must be antidote in a moment like we've been through too much political violence in this we all suffered through january 6. the former speaker of the house, speaker pelosi in our backyard in the bay area had her husband her husband was attacked violently and act of political violence.

today's only the concerns that all of us half, i also just want to stay that i will not be intimidated by this. i know my colleagues will not be intimidated. i will do everything to protect my family. my staff but i will do my job and anyone who that we will country that turns to violence rather than voting for settling our political discourse is sadly sadly i'm mistaken. and so again, i'm glad that the former president is okay. i'm so grateful to law enforcement and every possible way. want to reiterate that violence is never been the answer in america. violence is not the answer in america and violence never will be the answer america. >> pennsylvania senator john fetterman also responding to the shooting. watch.
