one day after his historic criminal conviction in new york. speaking today from trump tower, he looked to rally his supporters by criticizing the guilty verdict. >> this is a case where if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. these are bad people. these are, in many cases, i believe, sick people. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is the four and the verdict from the manhattan jury was clear. >> it found former president trump falsified business records to cover up a hush money payment and influence the outcome of the 2016 election. but what is less clear this afternoon is what comes next for mr. trump. now a convicted felon and the presumptive republican nominee for president who was facing the possibility of prison time.

welcome, everyone to the four this afternoon. i'm heather holmes, and i'm alex savage. >> in his speech today, trump said he will appeal his conviction as he claimed without evidence that the verdict yesterday was rigged and politically motivated. also today we heard from president biden for the first time as he addressed the outcome of trump's trial. >> they found donald trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. now he'll be given the opportunity, as he should, to appeal that decision, just like everyone else has that opportunity. that's how the american system of justice works . and it's reckless. it's dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. >> and trump is scheduled to be sentenced in july, just four days before the republican national convention, where he is expected to be named as the official gop nominee. he faces probation or up to four years in

prison at sentencing. okay, so let's talk about just what's next. >> now that trump has been convicted with david levine, a professor there at uc college of the law. thank you so much for joining us, david. so this fight is far from over. we just heard from the former president who says he is planning an appeal. walk us through that process. what might be some of the avenues for an appeal? >> sure. heather well, once he's sentenced, then they can file their notice of appeal, which they undoubtedly will do, and then they'll file their other documents. one could be the question of whether stormy daniels was allowed to go on too far. another would be whether judge marchand was too harsh in terms of not allowing some of the testimony that mr. trump's side wanted to present. maybe that he dissuaded mr. trump from testifying because cause the judge told him what sort of issues he could be cross-examined on which new york state law requires. but it was quite a daunting list. and then

the big one to me is the question of whether it was really acceptable to take these misdemeanors for false business records and then turn them into felonies. the way the prosecution did. it hasn't quite been done this way before, but of course, we haven't had a former president do these things before. so that's something that quite legitimately needs to be tested at the appellate level in the state. state of new york courts. >> yeah, because of the fact that the way they charge this case was unprecedented. it could be could leave them open to an appeal there. yeah. let's talk about what the process will look like here as we move towards sentencing, which as we mentioned, is happening on july 11th not far from now. trump mr. trump, he is going to be meeting like any other defendant would or felon convicted felon would would meeting with the probation department. there will be interviews that are done. what does that process look like? what is the probation department looking to learn from him? and how does all of that factor into his potential sentence?

>> well, with a normal felon, the probation department is not quite as familiar with the person as may be the case here, because you would be looking for biographical information. you know where you were a high school dropout. did you come from a broken home? things that might be ameliorating. now, in mr. trump's case, he came from a very, very wealthy family in queens, was very successful, went to a very fine military academy, and then he went to the university of pennsylvania. my school. so those are not going to help him very much. and then and then what did you do? well, i was a successful developer, and then i became president of the united states. well, we know all those things, but you'd get that kind of biographical information you want to read in terms of whether the person has shown any remorse. right. >> so let's talk about that because we're not seeing any remorse whatsoever from former president. right. so that goes into the report. and how much does that factor into the judge's decision? >> well, for a lot of people that does matter. have you taken responsibility is a very important factor. and so that

the judge will be interested in that. now, of course, the prosecution is going to take these clips like we saw today and last night, and they're going to put together a greatest hits reel, and they're going to show the judge those either by taking transcripts or showing the videos themselves to show mr. trump, presumably over and over again, showing no remorse, not taking responsibility for this, which probably will affect what the judge will do. >> yeah. and remaining defiant. okay. so this likelihood of prison time, we talked a little bit about what will take place leading up to the sentencing. but what factors will the judge consider when determining a sentence? >> you're looking at somebody's background. are they a recidivist and some of the things that have come up while mr. trump has not been criminally convicted before, you know, there's a number of civil convictions against him in the state of new york, the defamation cases, cases involving the trump organization, and so that the judge may look at that as a factor. a whether there's a risk that he will injure the public

again, is a factor that goes into it. do you need to have specific deterrence for mr. trump? do you want to look at general deterrence or not. so there's it's art rather than science at this point. i mean, there's parameters of what the judge can do. theoretic only it's four years per count, but nobody in the right mind thinks that he would actually be convicted to four times 34 counts. yeah, more likely be some sort of probation or perhaps some intermittent sensing. one thing i've heard is the idea that maybe he would have to come in a few weekends. that happened. sometimes you serve your time a little bit at a time, so there's a range. whatever it is, it's guaranteed to be unprecedented and really quickly. >> david, if i if i can though, just just follow up because the charge is falsifying business records. it is a class e felony in new york, the lowest tier of felonies charged in that state. so that's also got to come into play in terms of the significance and in terms of the

charge itself. >> sure. that's absolutely true, now, heather, what happens is the majority of the time in new york, this is not something that leads to a to actual jail time. you get a probation or something, but it does happen. it does happen that people do end up with some jail time. so it's very much on the fence here. you cannot say it's absolutely the one, absolutely the other. so we'll just have to stay tuned. >> one final point to just sort of clarify here in terms of timing, because we're looking at sentencing in july, the election in november, would whatever sentence the judge imposes would that would that not be imposed until after his the appeals process has been exhausted. >> the judge would have a choice. i think the answer is most likely that the judge will allow mr. trump to stay out of jail until the appeals are exhausted, which would be 18 months or more right away. but it is within the judge's power to say, look, i think the chances of an appeal are so

unlikely to be successful. i think you ought to be turned over to the sheriffs today. >> i might bring your toothbrush right now. >> right? right. so that's possible, i think. unlikely in this case. i think mr. trump is likely to stay out of prison if we have if we do see a sentence until well after the election, but it will certainly give him something to talk about. >> all sorts of fascinating scenarios to consider. absolutely all right, david levine, thank you, as always. >> appreciate it. >> thank you. always happy to be with you. >> all right. we turn now to an intense day of testimony at the state trial of the man who's accused of attacking paul pelosi with a hammer. >> yeah, you may remember that david depape has already been convicted in federal court of this same crime today in san francisco, though he came face to face for the first time with the victim, paul pelosi himself. >> and ktvu is christian. captain has been covering this trial for us. he joins us now live from the hall of justice and christian pelosi today gave a detailed account of what happened on that night back in 2022. >> yeah, paul pelosi talked about waking up in his bedroom,

seeing that man in his room with a hammer in one hand and zip ties in the other. pelosi walked into department 19, in san francisco's hall of justice, ready to tell his account of what happened in the early morning hours of october 28th, 2022. from the witness stand, he said he woke shortly after 2 a.m. to see david depape standing in his room. pelosi said he was able to eventually call 911 from his mobile phone. he wasn't certain, he said from the stand that officers would come that he managed to convince the pap to go downstairs toward the front door. that's where they were standing when the officers arrived. the officers body worn cameras did capture the moment that depape brought that hammer down on pelosi's head, pelosi said at the time he was trying to hold the hammer. he said from the stand today, quote, i grabbed the hammer trying to do that. he overpowered me and that was the end of the situation, we did talk with a legal expert who said that having the witness on the stand can be a very powerful tool for the prosecution to make

their case to the jury. pelosi then took the stand after lunch and detailed his recovery process, which he says is still ongoing. paul pelosi, not the only witness on the stand. today, prosecutors wrapped up with a police lieutenant who investigated the attack and following paul pelosi, called a computer expert to discuss what the fbi recovered from depapes hard drive on his computer. guys, this case they're predicting still could be in the hands of the jury as early as late next week. >> okay, so, christian, if you can, for sort of set the scene there inside the courtroom, was there any interaction between paul pelosi and david depape? >> yeah, this is the second time that i've been in the room. >> the last time i was in federal court, paul pelosi entered when depape was there, and he came here to court and saw him again. many normal interaction between the two. as a matter of fact, depape did not appear to look up. i was watching him to see what his

reaction would be, and he spent a lot of the time writing notes and conferring with his attorney. eventually, though, he did look up and he seemed attentive. he was paying attention to what paul pelosi had to say from the witness stand. for his part, paul pelosi did not seem to acknowledge david depape at all when he entered the courtroom. the only thing that he did, the only time he really acknowledged where depape was, was when he was asked to identify the man in his room and said, that man is in the courtroom. he looked over at him. he described what he was wearing, and that appeared really to be the only time that he looked at him. so very minimal interaction between these two men who had this very profound incident happened between them back in october of 2022, we do expect more testimony again to resume tomorrow. we did see one of the fbi agents who investigated this case in the hallways here. we expect her testimony to pick up tomorrow and prosecution's case

to continue into early next week. then, of course, the defense gets their opportunity to make their presentation to the jury. and again, guys, we're hearing the case could be in the hands of the jury as early as late next week. >> all right. yeah, it's moving along fairly quickly. christien kafton live for us at the hall of justice in san francisco. christine. thank you. coming up this afternoon here on the floor, president biden addressing the ongoing war in the middle east as israel sends a new cease fire proposal to hamas. the details on how the months long war might finally come to an end. >> and across the bay area this afternoon, temperatures cooling off a bit for most. this cooldown will continue into the weekend. i'll have a

a ceasefire deal. but as fox's caroline shively tells us, there are still a long road ahead to

any lasting peace deal. >> it's time for this war to end and. for the day after to begin. president biden at the white house announcing a new israeli proposal that could end the country's war with hamas. hamas says it wants a cease fire. this deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean it. >> the proposed plan would be carried out in three phases. phase one would see a cease fire and withdrawal of israeli forces from populated areas of gaza for six weeks. hostages including women, the elderly and some americans would be exchanged for palestinian prisoners and humanitarian aid would be surged into gaza in phase two. if hamas lives up to its end of the deal, israeli forces would withdraw from gaza. the temporary cease fire would become permanent, plus in exchange for the release of all remaining living hostages , including male soldiers. phase three would then see the

reconstruction of gaza. president biden also urged the international community to support this deal. >> now it's time to raise your voices and to demand and that hamas come to the table, agrees to this deal and ends this war. that they began. >> but there are some who are not convinced the president's plan will work. >> mark my words. hamas is going to is going to drag this out and stretch this out until they are rebuilt to the point where they can have more on october 7th. >> this comes just two days after israel's national security adviser predicted the fighting would last until at least the end of the year. in washington. caroline shively, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, all my friends out there, we made it to the end of the workweek, right? it is friday, a time to look ahead to the weekend. but let's go ahead now and take a look at your beautiful weather on this friday afternoon. pretty warm out there in a lot of places. rosemary, is that going to continue through the weekend? >> we are actually going to see

a drop in temperatures for the weekend. heather. but yes, you're right, especially our inland cities, east bay this afternoon in the low 90s, we will have temperatures come down tomorrow, and then we'll have a little bit of a pleasant trend moving into the business week, followed by a big warm up. i'll show you that. coming up, let's talk about what is going on right now. a beautiful view there over san francisco where we do have blue skies and most of us enjoying the sunshine. even the coastline. today, partly cloudy here, although a little bit of an onshore breeze and temperatures remain on the cool side for many as we move in closer. you can see the onshore breeze through fairfield right now, gusting to 24mph. we have napa reporting a southerly breeze at 17, the north bay saw a big drop in temperatures late this afternoon with that onshore breeze turning on oakland gusting to 35. so a breezy one there at the airport. here is a view of the 24 hour temperature change. santa rosa, you are down by nine degrees compared to yesterday. oakland hayward down by seven. but you go far inland east bay, away from the

influence of that onshore breeze. and temperatures are a tad warmer 92 degrees right now in concord, 90 in livermore. so at least you have a beautiful summer like evening setting up for you 80 degrees. now novato, 66, in san francisco, upper 60s, low 70s for most of our bayside communities, 83 over san jose. going to the east bay. take a look. a few more of these hot temperatures. we've got 95 reported in one neighborhood in clinton, upper 80s for folks that will be out and about in walnut creek should be a nice evening for outdoor dining. if you're going west, headed to the giants game, bring along the thicker jacket upper 50s, partly cloudy skies, patchy fog, and that sea breeze 15 to 20mph or so. i'll have a look at the temperatures for tomorrow and the trend through the weekend. as well as that heat up in the extended forecast coming up. >> okay rosemary. thank you. i had to ask about the weather on the weekend. i was hoping that it was going to remain warm. okay. it is something that a lot of moms out there struggle with.

depression. while some have a mild case of the blues, as many as 1 in 5 new moms have postpartum depression a more serious condition but highly

treatable one. and here with me now is doctor rachel braddell, perinatal psychiatric psychiatrist. excuse me. at kaiser permanente oakland medical center. doctor, thank you for being here. and, mom, shannon winter, thank you so much for being here. we're going to talk about your experience in a moment. but doctor, as i just mentioned, that statistic really shows that this is so, so common. do you find though that that women recognize that they have the symptoms or, or how does a woman even know that she is suffering from postpartum depression? >> i think a lot of people really downplay it and imagine that this is just an expected part of what life is like with a newborn in their house, that they're not sleeping, they're low in energy, not finding time to feed themselves. and some of those things are normal parts of bringing an infant home. but the things we worry about is sadness. if people are not finding joy in the things that normally would bring joy to them, very disturbed sleep. if baby's sleeping, they still can't get to sleep, a lot of feelings of guilt, excessive,

really blaming themselves for things and sometimes even suicidal thinking which people are often very reluctant to share. >> doctor, there's also this stigma surrounding postpartum depression. how do you help women overcome that? >> i think one of the things that is helpful in being trained in perinatal psychiatry is that a lot of women feel more comfortable maybe being open and honest, knowing that they're working with somebody who has a special training in pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and that can be a really big, helpful step, you know, to know that they're working with someone who specialized in this area. >> shannon, you are a mom yourself. yes talk a little bit about your experience because this is something that you suffered from. >> yeah, exactly, so my husband and i had a beautiful, healthy baby girl last april. her name is demi, and, you know, like doctor bradley talked about, i think even in the best of times,

postpartum can be really intense and emotional. but it became clear pretty quickly that mine was a little more intense than the norm. i was super anxious, mostly about demi's health, even though she was totally fine, but i couldn't be convinced of that, and i was really just spiraling down into depression. just really sad. pretty hopeless. didn't feel like myself at all, and, and i was seeing my normal therapist who is wonderful, but i was really reluctant initially to go on medication. i wrongly assumed that it would maybe change who i was, which it's really, like quite the opposite. it can often bring you back to who you are. yeah. and i also, i had gone through a much less severe depression the year before i got pregnant, actually, i think from going off birth control, another big hormonal shift. and so i also wrongly assumed, like i could just power through, which is kind of what i

did earlier back then. yeah but about three months postpartum, and i think really, the straw that broke the camel's back was i weaned off breastfeeding after a really stressful feeding journey, another big hormonal shift, that was kind of a breaking point. i couldn't sleep, i couldn't eat, i was having panic attacks. i couldn't take care of myself. i of course, couldn't take care of demi, i mean, that's one of the cruelest parts of postpartum depression. is like a time you're supposed to be bonding with your new baby. you're like, yeah, suffering. and kind of discuss affected, and i also felt really, really alone, even though so many people go through it. and i will sell so incredibly fortunate, to be someone who was surrounded by, like, so much support and love and privilege, like my husband, my amazing parents, our family, our friends, my company, my manager. like i had all of it and i still felt like i could

not survive. this is shannon's story, something that you often hear, doctor bradley? >> yeah, i mean, she's not wrong. her support system is incredible, and i've met many of them, but so many people feel like they can't reach out that there's some shame in going. i'm really not okay. i'm not taking care of things. i'm not taking care of myself. and even people with awesome support often fail to avail themselves of it. >> and is that what happened with you? did you feel ashamed? >> definitely. i mean, i, i didn't really know many people who had gone through it, or if i did, it was much less severe. so i was kind of like, what's wrong with me? and like i said, i was i was scared of medication initially, so that was keeping me from seeking that. but at that kind of breaking point, it became clear, like i needed to do something differently. so, my great primary care doctor at kaiser, doctor nash, he connected me with the kaiser oakland perinatal psychiatry

department. we got hooked up with doctor bradley, which was like the best blessing of this situation, because, you know, she was and is so kind, so knowledgeable, and, like, such a grounding force. >> and you're doing so much better now. oh, so much better. >> that's great. yeah. i am back to myself. you know, it took it's a slow process for sure, but one step at a time. she walked me through that journey and i get to be with demi now, which is incredible. and we just celebrated her first birthday last month. i'm back at work, do brand marketing for a software company and it's just great to be living normal life. if anything, i feel better than ever because i know the other side that as we mentioned, it is treatable, but women, ladies, you've got to reach out for that help, right? >> and that there's no shame in getting that help. doctor bradley, appreciate what you do.

shannon, thank you so much for coming on the show. thank you for giving us a platform because yeah, thank you for having us. thank you. so really important. i'm a mom myself. i remember those moments. it's not easy. but remember, women, they're our help is out there. thank you so much, ladies. really appreciate it. thank you alex. >> yeah thank you all. such an important discussion. all right. coming up this afternoon here on the for this weekend we are celebrating cancer survivors day. and up next you will hear from a man from the south bay who beat the odds after being diagnosed with colon cancer. we'll talk live with him and the doctor who he credits wi saving his lif

cancer sunday is cancer survivors day, when we recognize and honor the people in our lives who face cancer and emerged as survivors. we have one of those people here in our studio. we're joined now by austin acenas, who is a colon cancer survivor from san jose. thank you for being here. and also your oncologist from el camino health, doctor shane dermody. this is the man you credit with saving your life. that's absolutely correct. it's a remarkable story here, austin. let's start with the diagnosis. you got this diagnosis in 2022. stage four colon cancer. and obviously that is one of the worst diagnoses you can get. you were initially told you have just months to live. did you think at that in that moment that that you would be sitting here right now, two years later? >> well, when, when i first got

diagnosed, when the doctor told me, when the first oncologist told me that it was going to be about six months until i. i'm done, i didn't know what to think about it. it took me about 3 to 4 days to completely grasp up and see exactly what my options were, because when i asked her, okay, well, i'm diagnosed, but what options do i have? unfortunately she told me that there was no options left for you and get your affairs in order. you have six months to live. >> you felt hopeless, i felt hopeless, it wasn't until 3 or 4 days later when i talked to some of my friends and one of them was an oncology, former surgical sales rep. and i know that he meets with all kinds of oncologists, said i want to the best in the area and took him about two days to come come up with the name shane dormody. and that's when i went and met with him and my life changed. your life changed in that, in that

half an hour meeting and you are at this moment cancer free. i am cancer free. >> how does that feel? >> oh, unbelievable. >> i imagine it's the best feeling in the world. >> i have a new lease on life, so yeah. >> and it's all thanks to this gentleman. you say so. so you connected here with doctor dormody at el camino health and doctor what? first of all, what what was your approach to giving ocean some sense of hope that he could beat this? >> well, when a patient is presented with a diagnosis of stage four cancer, they're completely overwhelmed and it's easy to feel hopeless. and then when that sort of hopeless message is reinforced by a health care professional, you really have some work to do to rearrange the thinking of the patient. and as you said, you need to inspire hope. you need to convert what seems like an insurmountable overwhelm problem into something that's digestible

has a battle plan, and we have a direct countermove to help you. and even in situations where a cancer can't be cured, to convey the mentality that don't worry, this is a medical problem like high blood pressure or diabetes. and as long as we formulate the right battle plan and use the right medications, we can keep it controlled long term. >> okay, so what is unique about your battle plan? how how were you able to aggressively attack his cancer? >> well, one thing i've always done is regardless of where the cancer is in the body, to try to segment your battle into those different areas. so to usually start with treatments that will treat cancer deposits that exist everywhere in the body. and then as those spots respond and shrink, then start to narrow your focus to those persistent or remaining spots by using surgery, radiation, or other techniques to eradicate them.

and then when everything is essentially treated and moved to a form of maintenance, treatment using gentler medications, long term to keep the cancer in remission. >> when he. when o-gin first came to you, were you were you confident that you could he could beat this cancer? what what you know, what was your level of confidence? >> well, my level of confidence is always extremely high because colon cancer and rectal cancer is actually extremely responsive to treatment. it's very chemosensitive. i've radiosensitive and though you wouldn't believe it, many times when patients present with colon and rectal cancer that has moved or metastasized to the liver after doing a series of treatments, the cancer deposits in the liver can actually be surgically removed and the cancer be completely dealt with in the liver. so it's just using all of the modalities that you're exposed at your disposal

to make sure you treat every cancer cell that you can see. >> all right. so you know, ocean, we are heading toward this weekend, which is cancer survivors day when people like yourself celebrate the fact that that you have overcome cancer. what what is your your message to other people out there about early screening? what do you think people watching this should learn from from your story and your cancer journey? >> well, if i had done early screening, it wouldn't have gone to stage four, obviously. so the best thing to do is get it checked early as soon as possible. i now they change it to 45. if you can do it earlier, do it, also make sure you're your own advocate. if you hear bad news, don't be afraid to get a second opinion because a lot of people unfortunately think that. okay, the doctor said that and that's it. so i'm done. but

don't be afraid of going there. fight for yourself. find another option. talk to doctors and see what fits best for you, and have also have a strong network of support. friends family members rely on them. okay because they will give you a boost whether you know it or not. so all these things help me immensely. i have a strong network of friends that supported me my business partner, my wife. they all supported me, my family. and when doctor domini gave me hope, i was like, okay, there is a chance we can do this. and when you have that mindset, then everything is possible. so that's you hit the nail on the head. >> we can do this because you're not going to do it alone. no, you need him. you need your family. you need the community to help you. all right. wonderful message. i appreciate

the time. glad you are happy and healthy. thank you so much for sharing your story, doctor. thank you as well. you're welcome. all right, heather, we'll send it over to you. >> yep, a great message. an important message today. thank you so much, gentlemen. showcasing undiscovered and independent films, including those about the bay area. like this one. >> this is the most desired zip code to live in in the world. and i think there has been a legacy of displacement. and each time we have these displacement episodes in this community, we lose that rich, culturally diverse history. >> we are taking a closer look this afternoon at some of the films selected for the indie night film festival, set for tomorrow in s francis

golden 1 credit union agrees, it's never too late to try something new or pick up an old pastime. we know you're up for adventure, that's what you're here for. the golden 1 member cash rewards+ card lets you try the things you love with your true love. when you can enjoy the rewards of every experience that comes your way, what are you waiting for? dive right in. golden 1 member cash rewards+ card. life is a journey best dreamed together.

what narratives were not really looking at the people. and i think what i'm hoping will happen is that we will not generalize and stereotype or categorize people, but that we will actually see their face and see them be able to want to see the pain, the hurt or the anguish or to see the joy. >> that is a clip from the independent film faces of the city. is that to be featured as part of the 12th annual indie night film festival? and we're talking this afternoon about the films many shot here in the bay

area, that tackle issues specific to the bay area and back. >> with us live this afternoon, veteran filmmaker dave brown, who of course founded this festival. dave, it's good to talk with you again here as we head toward the big event coming up on saturday in san francisco. all of these independent films that that will be screened this weekend, they tackle a variety of important social justice issues affecting people here in the bay area and more broadly here. how are these films highlighting important community programs here in the bay area? >> well, i think there's, we have one film there that, pretty much about the mental awareness of, you know, of everyone goes to something in life and it's what do we how do we go back to finding. our having the, the certain places to go to restart our mind and so we have a lot of films that's dealing with with, with the, with the mental issue

of what a lot of people go through in america. and and so we said, you know, when i, when i saw this particular film and i said it was coming from san francisco, i said, this is one film that we've definitely have to highlight here. and it's going to be a lot of other films that's going to be showing a lot of things where we talk about, how san francisco has gone from the old to the new, and it's just uplifting and showing what san francisco has really, you know, the riches that it has in the neighborhoods out here in so many years. and me being from san francisco is it an honor to want to showcase these type of films? yeah. >> and dave, there really is something special about independent films. it really allows you to kind of go there, talk about why these films are so important for people to see, especially here in the bay area. >> well, see, number one, there's a lot of gems in the bay area, that that need to, you know, have a chance to be shown and, and get to the next level. so everybody now, well, it used to be everybody used to deal with the studios a lot. and i

think now a lot more people are saying, hey, you're always used to hearing this word called no in hollywood. it's like, okay, well let me go ahead and make my own film. and so you have all these different directors that said, i'm going to shoot an independent film and go ahead and put it out. and they've been getting a lot of, you know, a lot of, you know, notoriety that's in the business. so it's great to have all these diamonds in the rough. they just need a place to show their art and i've been doing it all around the united states, and i've been doing it for 12 years at the tcl chinese theater in hollywood. so i said, hey, let's go highlight san francisco in the bay area and show that there are a lot of people out there that really have art and independent filmmakers, and i'm going to be the bridge to pull them back into hollywood and give them opportunities. that's great. >> what was the process, dave, for, for, for finding these these independent filmmakers and looking at the projects they've put together and figuring out who was going to be a part of this festival?

>> well, what i did was this, you know, i teamed up with a lot of great people that in the bay, first of all, because, you know, i teamed up with the human rights commission and the dream keepers intuitive, and then also the film commission of san francisco. and they said, hey, dave, we have certain films that we want to highlight, and as well as the films that people have submitted to me, you know, and said, hey, we picked out a film. i had a whole team that sits there and looks at all these films, and there were a lot of great films. and so when we all came together, i said, hey, we have to go ahead and make this happen and, and highlight san francisco. and not only that, with our great men, mayor london breed, it's great to have her. you know, she she gave me the stamp of approval and said, dave, you got to come home and do it. and i said, i wouldn't. why not? i have to this is where it all started for me. and i know good and well there's a lot of other people out there too that can shine in hollywood. >> yeah, and so it's this idea of kind of exposing the issues that are facing a lot of people

in the bay area. but dave, it's also, as you said, about finding this, this art, this talent and really the bay area is full of it. >> it's full of it. and so that's why i said what i am is this i'm the american idol for film. so what i'm going to do is i'm going to be coming back to san francisco in the bay area. and what i'm going to do is this i'm going to give everybody a chance. they're going to become celebrities in their city, and then i'm going to take all those great films, and i'm going to take them down and show them at the tcl chinese theater in hollywood. and i have those i have all those different places to where if there's something that's good, i'll be able to place them, you know? but it's giving everybody that art. and so, you know, just as american idol does on american idol and i'm not taking you and try to, you know, put you with a record label. same thing. what i'm doing. you don't go to indie night and me not try to give you an opportunity to shop your stuff in the hollywood and be that bridge. >> yeah. elevating those independent filmmakers, taking them to the next level. dave brown with the indie night film festival happening this weekend in san francisco. we appreciate

things are going to change as we take a live look now at beautiful mount diablo. rosemary, you hinted at those changes. it's going to cool off a bit. >> yes. so for the folks closer
