detailed in a 12-page document that has been obtained by abc 7 news. liz has a copy, and she's going to show us what's in it. >> reporter: lays out exactly how republicans and the group rescue california hope to chip away at governor newsom's support over the next few months and gain support for the recall. it is a fight that will not be easy given the democrats overwhelming advantage in the state. but here is how republicans plan to do it. with the recall election of governor newsom all but inevitable, beginning phase two. a 12-page document obtained exclusively by abc 7 news outlines how rescue california, one of the main groups behind the recall, hopes to do it. the document was sent to high- level republicans and potential governors. ballot harvest to collect the

ballots of potential voters and target latina voters who were most impacted by newsom's policies during the pandemic. the total cost, $15 million. recall supporters face an uphill battle. 56% of likely voters oppose the recall. in order for newsom to be reknewed, 56% of voters will have to vote. ramp up vaccinations and reopen the economy and brand the recall as an effort by right- wing republicans. >> now is not the time to waste hundreds of millions of dollars on a recall effort that is nothing more than a partisan power grab.

>> reporter: and $6 million on television ads that i mean ads that will fact check newsom as he campaigns across the state. a fundraiser is planned later this month in newport beach. the highest ticket costs $10,000 a couple. >> get in the french laundry dig. we want to get insight from our axbc news contributor phil matere. what do you make of this strategy? do you think it's going to work? >> well, that remains to be seen. i mean, we are starting to see this recall effort. it's interesting to note that one, this is about removing gavin newsom from office. they're not taking a stand on the two leading republicans who are already in the race, john cox the businessman who launched a $5 million ad campaign with the bear this past week.

or kevin falcon the former mayor of sandhya. what they're doing is saying let's not jump into that part. let's just go after gavin newsom. that's clearly what they're doing with a special emphasis on trying to get latino and non- republicans or democrats on board. >> and that i wanted to talk to you about next. newsom has framed this recall as republicans versus democrats. republicans are behind these groups like rescue california. but they're trying to cross the aisle a little bit, bring in latinos, bring in these aapi voters. how critical is that? is that going to work? are they upset with newsom? are they going to rally behind this cause? >> they have to do it because state is heavily democratic. heavily democratic, then undecided, then republican. you saw that memo, i saw that memo. it's a pitch to the national republicans all around the country to join the fight by sending in money and get that

bear rolling against newsom. what we're seeing is the emphasis will be getting out the republican vote, which is going to be sort of guaranteed. thicker the second is the undecided. they think they have a shot at the latinos and with the asian- american voters in part because if you've seen, liz, over the years latinos and asian- americans are not a voting block. they have different factions within them. and that's something the democrats to their dismay are discovering more and more in california. they lost congressional seats. why? because not necessarily ethnic voters were voting traditionally democrat. they're going to be trying to repeat that in the recall. >> certainly. not a monolithic group at all. this is the strategy from the republicans. we've seen it outlined in this memo. what are the democrats going to do? >> they're going to raise a lot of money. probably two to three times as

much as the hope to raise. we'll see the push to make it as partisan as possible. these recall people want to make it about governor newsom's performance. gavin newsom's people want to make this a republican backed strategy. the real decision will be made on how you and i and voters feel when this comes around. and it could be a very long, hot, and very dry summer. and that could pose problems for gavin newsom completely outside this republican strategy. >> power shut offs, firestion fires, all things he has to be concerned about. part of that big surplus the governor mentioned is earmarked to help bankroll a new round of stimulus checks. more middle income families would see some cash. >> that tax rebate will impact

just shy of 80% of all tax filers will get a direct stimulus check, will get a direct relief payment because of this announcement. >> individuals and households earning up to $75,000 would be able to receive the payments. eligible families with children would get another $500. governor newsom remains confident the state will hit his projected june 15th reopening date. an investigation has found san francisco is temporarily cutting security at half of its city-operated parking garages in an effort, of course, to cut costs. this move comes at a time when car break ins are climbing back to record high levels, a scene similar to prior to the pandemic. we have more on the story and what this means. >> reporter: the city owns and operates 22 parking garages across san francisco. security services has been cut at 11 of them.

all in high traffic areas where break ins continue to get worse. >> security. >> reporter: howard boyar is a security officer for the fifth admission parking garage in san francisco. one of 11 city-owned garages left with security personnel on site. in the last week, boyar has witnessed a dozen attempted car break ins at fifth and mission alone. it happened minutes before our interview. >> see that guy right behind us over there? >> yeah. >> i removed him from the second floor. he was screaming and hollering. he was walking by the car real close, in front of the cars. he still hasn't left. he's still hanging around the back of the garage. >> reporter: with summer right around the corner, boyar knows it will probably only get worse. >> it's a scary thought. it really is. >> reporter: the director of operations for marina security services. the company's contracts have temporarily been cut after half

of the city's parking garages, including garages in union square, the tenderloin, financial district, japan town, and the marina district. >> we're seeing a higher number in assaults and vehicle break ins, destruction of property, problems with homeless, and drug abuse. that i'm surprised we've reduced the amount of security in these locations. >> reporter: according to data, burglary crimes have increased 51% from last year. auto thefts have jumped up 18%. from january to march. of this year, police reported 3300 car break ins, a slight decrease from pre-pandemic totals. but it may not be for long. by june 15th, the state is set to fully reopen the economy. >> seems like an odd time for the city to cut back on security. >> reporter: we reached out to the city for further comment and received the following statement. out of necessity, we need to

prioritize the staff that provide the most wide-ranging services to our garages. security isn't being replaced. the responsibility has shifted to other staff who maintain our parking facilities. sfmta a says it replaced aging parking equipment with modern technology and significant operational upgrades like lighting, signs, audible alarms, and new gate arms. david chandler, the state's association of licensed security agencies, says that won't be good enough. >> automation and cameras are great to see what happened. >> if the city puts back all the security, the city will be a lot safer. >> the city tells us this decision is a temporary one. it will be in effect until further notice. dan, just another reason to stay alert and don't leave anything, not one thing in your car. unfortunately, i've had to learn the hard way. >> most of us have one time or another around here,

unfortunately. you're right. leave nothing in your car. not even a tic tac. did the city give any idea when the security contracts might be reinstated? is. >> at this point, not yet. we did ask. we're told security will only resume in all 22 garages if it's feed. the city says fewer customers means there's less of a need right now. that could all change by this summer, so until then as we've been saying, just lock those cars, and be extra careful. >> thanks very much. the food and drug administration approved pfizer's covid-19 vaccine for kids ages 12-15. it will allow states to get middle school students vaccinated before fall. experts say it will accelerate the effort to reduce infections. vaccines to tweens could be administered as soon as thursday. there may be challenges based on what we're seeing with 16 years old and young adults.

chris explains how it's going to work. >> reporter: at the largest vaccination site in california, the focus turns to youth and getting them in as soon as possible. >> i chose to get vaccinated to protect my family, friends, and facilitate the return for in- person learning for my senior year. >> reporter: emphasizing the hash tag 49ers joined sourdough sam to spread the word. >> it's disheartening to hear the misinformation being spread on social media. >> reporter: 75% of eligible county residents have received their first dose. that number drops to just below 40% for those 16 or 17. the county says it's critical to get more young people vaccinated. >> these sites are your sites. these sites are made for you to get vaccinated. and we are very thrilled to be welcoming more young people. >> reporter: the multi-day

event takes place tuesday to thursday from 1:30-7:30 in the evening with no appointments necessary. the 49ers will be giving away swag while supplies last and are offering tours of the visiting team locker room. >> all of these children, all of our students, they deserve their homecoming. they deserve their senior proms and to celebrate their graduations in person. if this is one small step that can get us back there, please all join in. >> reporter: the first 100 students to visit each night will receive a $10 gift card to starbucks or chipotle from the vmc foundation. other family members can also be vaccinated at the same time. >> we know that young people don't always listen to adults. any parent listening to me knows exactly what i'm talking about. but what we do know is that teens listen to other teens. >> reporter: these teens taking the lead in telling their peers to get the shot. in santa clara, abc 7

beaten and robbed in san francisco. this happened to an asian senior in the city. >> a nearly 300% increase in crimes targeting members of the asian and pacific islander communities. >> the governor expands the drought emergency to 39 california counties. how the state is dealing with the growing crisis. >> i'm spencer christian. dry, warm, gusty winds continue to blow through the bay area raising fire concerns. i'll hav i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media

for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. this unplugged device is protecting

three weeks ago, governor newsom declared a drought emergency. today, he haded 39 counties to the list. alameda, napa, and solano. that list is expected to expand in the coming months. climate change will continue to put pressure on the state's water delivery systems. >> we have a conveyance system, a water system designed for a world that no longer exists. it's incumbent upon us to acknowledge that and reimagine a different future. >> the governor announced a $5 billion plan to address infrastructure and conservation projects to help in the long term. he proposed an additional billion in aid for low-income families to help offset rate hikes. new numbers from san leandro show a 300% increase in crimes targeting asian americans. this latest incident you're about to see involves a man in

his 80s and teenagers. >> reporter: the only thing more distressing than seeing an 80-year-old asian man knocked to the ground and crying for help saturday is hearing the th high-pitched giggling from one of the teen suspects as young as 16 involved in this crime. >> it's crazy to see that there's kids from that kind of age doing that stuff. you know, going down that road already. >> reporter: like much of the bay area, san leandro is no stranger to attacks on asian americans. i personally have covered a number of them in recent months. from a woman placing hate- filled letters on residents doors demanding they go back to china. >> no asian allowed. >> reporter: to this brazen daytime robbery outside a bank of america where an older asian man was knocked to the ground and not able to get up. >> from 2019-2020 we saw an almost 300% increase in crimes

against asian and pacific islander members. >> reporter: police can't say how many were race crimes or hate motivated. working with the da on finding solutions to the challenges of dealing with minors who are released only to reoffend. >> other than putting juveniles in jail, what other avenues can we have to maybe divert some of the things that are happening? >> reporter: as for the many who captured this latest attack on his family security camera, he wants only one thing for those who try to disrupt his otherwise quiet community. >> more consequences. you know? that's really the best thing that could happen so they can learn. >> reporter: in san leandro, abc 7 news. let's move on. a red flag warning remains in effect for parts of the bay area and the most critical conditions are still ahead

ongoing harmful colonial relationships. >> reporter: as cortez thinks of all that's lost, she's hopeful for what's to come. >> they're now speaking out, speaking up, and starting to advocate for themselves. >> reporter: finds strength by embracing another part of her culture, a filipino folk dance group she leads. >> that's what keeps me grounded and keeps me balanced to do what i have to do. >> reporter: a dedication and a sacrifice america must recognize and remember. on this coming wednesday on international nurses day, national nurses united will be honoring the more than 400 rn's, registered nurses, that have died of covid-19 related complications. they'll be reading the names of all those nurses allowed and projecting their names on the union headquarters blocks away from the white house. reporting live for abc 7 news.

to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means asking for what we want, and need... and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms,

including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. good evening. the warriors are playing the western conference leading utah jazz tonight. this is a potential 1-8 playoff matchup. the jazz tonight without donovan mitchell and mike conley. that should make life easier for seth curry who leads the league in scoring. curry averaging 31.9 points per game. leads bradley beal by half a point. coming off that 49-point

outburst on saturday. that was the same night beal scored 50 but injured his hamstring. he's expected to miss a couple of games. he was asked if he knew beal put up 50 on saturday. >> of course i did. >> okay. did you know how many you needed to take the lead? >> no. i didn't go that level. i watch everybody in the league. i know what he's doing. he's obviously playing at a high level. any time somebody gets 50, you hear about it. >> we got guys hurting hamstrings trying to keep up. yeah, i got to do some research on that. oh, you got me. ha, ha, ha. >> taking a shot at bradley beal there. bradley beal's wife was upset at that. the celtics laboring through a disappointing season. jaylen brown out for the rest of the year because of a torn ligament in his wrist. he was averaging almost 25 points and six rebounds per

game. on to baseball, the nl west leading giants and texas rangers just getting under way. the giants off to a great start. 20-14 record. this could turn into a rather hairy situation for the rest of the nl west. several giants including austin slater are participating in mustache may following in the footstep of spencer christian. and it's working. the giants took two of three over the weekend against the patres. slater hit homers on friday and saturday. should we credit the power of the stash? >> yeah. this is more pronounced. he's got that dark hair. he's got a little flavor saver down there too. >> you have a great may, is that going to go into june? >> no. it's strictly a may thing. you can't overwork it. you can't abuse it. it's here for the month of may and that's it no matter how it goes. >> i could use it as an excuse to hide some of my grays. i feel like there's more, there's less grays in my

mustache. if that was something they wanted, they know where to find me, they can come grab me, and i'll participate if they need me. >> tim tebow made it up to triple a with the mets. now he's back to football, this time as a tight end. that is a position he's never played before. here he is with the broncos. tebow expected to sign a one- year deal with the jacksonville jaguars to play tight end. they're coached by urban meyer. earthquakes star was just named major league soccer player of the week. the 11th time he's received this honor. fourth most in major league soccer history. this is kind of funny because last week, 17-year-old quakes teammate cowell won the award. so 21 years between those two members of the san jose

earthquakes honored as players of the week. a milestone coming up on thursday, the giants will reach 85% vaccination as a team, which means among other things they can take off their masks in the dugout, gather indoors, they can eat together. so it's a big deal for the giants and the rest of major league baseball, i think 11 other teams hit 85 or above. coming up tonight at 8:00, finding dory, then the good doctor, and abc news at 11. >> thanks for joining us. >> for spencer christian and all of us, we appreciate your time. we hope you have a great rest of your everyoning and that we see you for abc 7 news at 11.
