this morning at 9:59 a.m. this morning in san francisco. this continues as he was a proud lifelong californian, a public servant and powerful voice for individual rights and environmental protection. william newsome was a former judge for the state court of appeals. had deep rooted political ties in california. he worked with pat brown and his sister was married to nancy pelosi's brother-in-law. back in 2004, mr. newsome swore in his son, gavin, as the mayor of san francisco. something he would do again when his son was lieutenant governor. he went to st. ignatius and then attended the university of san francisco and stanford law l school. besides being a judge, he worked as a financial adviser for the getty group and managed the family trust. his loyalty was to deep in 1973, he help eed deliver ransom mone after one of getty's grandson's

was william newsome was 84 years old. when senator harris was sworn in last year, she became only the second african-american female ever to serve in the u.s. senate. her asengs comes at a time when it seems efforts to diversify politics are gipg beginning to off. our guest knows what an uphill battle it can be. i'm joined by donna brazile. now you have a book that you've written with three friends and colleagues who have also worked in politics for decades. it's called for colored girls who have considered politics. that's what you and your friends call yourself? >> absolutely. we came out of age at a time when the country was changing. parents and grandparents were called colored. it's about not only our unique

friendship, but we have been eyewitnesses to history. american history. not just democratic party political history and tonight at the commonwealth club we're going talk about that political history which also involves electing more women to congress. so we're very excited to be b back in san francisco. and your book is sort of a road map to help people navigate getting there, correct? >> we wrote a chapter called dear sister candidate. at the time i was writing that chapter along with my colleague, london was running for mayor here in san francisco and i sent her some of the early drafts. so i'm proud of her success. proud of kamala, but of course this is a state that is produced so many amazing women leaders. dianne feinstein, barbara boxer and here in the city of san francisco, speaker nancy pelosi, who i am part after team pelosi. we all are. >> do you feel like we have made strides over the years and the decades to get more black women into politics?

>> no question. 50 years ago, shirley was the first african-american woman elected to congress and now, this year, we're going to have over 124 women in the house in the united states senate. are we there yet? no. women are still very underrepresented in government, but we are making tremendous strides and i do believe in the next decade, we're going to see more and more women enter the political pipeline and begin to take their seats at the table. >> and you are helping that effort. >> absolutely. >> now we cannot let you leave without talking about what's been happening lately, especially what we saw in washington this week. we know d.c. is divided, but what we saw in the oval office was a little stunning. the president, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. we want to play a clip then get your reaction. in case you missed it. although we've been talking about it a lot, is a discussion about funding for the border wall and a possible government shutdown. listen. >> if i kneed the votes for the wall in the house i would have them in one sessio we'd be done. it doesn't help because we need

ten democrats. >> put it on the senate. on the negotiation -- >> we do not want to shut down the government. you have called 20 times to shut down the government. you say i want to shut down the government. dwoent. we want to come to an agreement. we have solutions that will pass the house and senate right now. and will not shut down to government and that's what we're urging you to do. >> i will be b the one to shut it down. not guilty going to blame you for it. the last time you did, it didn't work. i will take the mantle of shutting it down and i'm going to shut it down for border. >> you shouldn't shut it down. >> thank you very much. >> what do you think when you see this? it's like bickering in the oval office? >> first of all, we're nine days away from the government running out of money. many of the aproep rag bills did pass this year. we have seven left including homeland security. president trump would like to see $5 billion in proep ration

for the border wall. the democrats agree we should spend 1.3 billion. the same amount we spent last year. so the president would like to get this passed, but it's up to the house and the senate. right now, the republicans are still in control of both chambers in the legislative branch of government. if he wants to get this wall funded, he should go to the house and senate now and say pass this bill, but he doesn't have the votes. that's why leader pelosi and leader schumer said we don't want to shut down the government. b we believe there's ample money for border security. let's keep the government functioning. >> i have to ask. a lot of americans, they see what's going on and they talk b about how divisive everything is. how volatile politics are right now. is it worse than we've ever seen or is it just now more out in the open? >> i think we're seeing more because of cable news and social media, but if you go back and look at 19th century american politics or some of the early 20th century, was there contention, yes, but what we're doing now, i call it growing pains. we're a democracy and the

ability to get along to forge compromises take time and it takes leadership. and what you'll see in the 11 u 6 f congress is leader pelosi. she's a proouen leader. has a tremendous track record. she is willing to work with this president, but she's not going to allow this president to basically have a temper tantrum without holding him accountable. >> thank you for coming in. you're in the commonwealth club tonight. it is sold out. you'll be talking about your book and i know a lot of people will be talking about it. >> it's a great gift, a wonderful christmas gift. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. we're going to change gears here and shift to the weather. no divisiveness in the weather office. it's pure harmony. we see rain a few days out. >> right. we doept argue in the weather department. we have a few high clouds passing through the bay area. we did have some dense fog this morning, but look at how sunny

nature then the level two storm is going to bring wind. it's going to bring rain, moderate at times and the dangerous surf. the big waves going into monday morning, which will be a wet morning commute. tuesday and wednesday, we're going to see temperatures bouncing back and we'll get a chance to dry out. but really, the thing with the mavericks is typically we see it during the winter months. but january, february are prime time for mavericks and this time around looks like it could be said in that story, an early christmas present perhaps in december. >> wow. >> we'll see. >> absolutely. >> thanks. have questions about signing up for health insurance for next year? probably do. michael finney is is here to help. there's a new chapter to steph curry's doubts. he addressed it again
