4:07 pm
billion offer to buy twitter. larry: he says he wants to build an arena for free speech. our reporter spoke to tech and ball professors who say elon musk's takeover of twitter could have many repercussions. reporter: elon musk has made it clear he does not like the way twitter monitors free speech. he started by buying shares and was invited to join the board. he realized he would not have the influence he wanted so now he wants to buy the whole company and make changes from within. elon musk is making his stance clear, he is not satisfied as the company's second largest shareholder with 90% -- with 9.2% of twitter. now he wants to take over the whole company. >> it is important that people have the reality and the perception that they are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law. reporter: today, elon musk says
4:08 pm
he has a plan b in k's twitter board rejects his $43 billion offer. his cybersecurity experts at elon musk could fight the board by selling his shares. >> if he pulled back and said, i'm going to sell my shares, the value of the shares are going to go down and that is not going to be good because now we have shareholders who benefited from the high price of the shares seeing the value of their portfolio or their shares going down, they are going to go after the board members, why did you say no to him? reporter: elon musk has been vocal about the social media giant which suspended president trump in 2021. >> he does not like the decisions twitter is making about who it takes off and he wants to make different decisions. as a private company, you can do that. reporter: this constitutional law professor believes elon musk's aspirations go beyond free speech.

4:14 pm
hearing it. but there are also more days where she is on top of the ball, where she correct grammar in letters and bills that are sent to her. the question is where do we go from here? like it or not, the senate is based on what we call the seniority system, the longer you are there, the more power you have an dianne feinstein is not only the oldest senator, she is the one who has been there the longest and served the longest from california, she has a lot of power. she has brought a lot home to california. this last year, $80 million in fire prevention funds, raising the salaries of federal firefighters to get more of them into working on the state. she got $870 million for water projects in the state. what is your scorecard about whether she is getting the job done? she is not on the talk shows, she is not running for president, she is not what she used to be, but she is delivering the bacon and that is the political slice when it comes to the center. larry: she is also 88 years old
4:15 pm
and some of these allegations are coming from the senator's own staff. does that make this appearance even worse? reporter: i don't know if it makes it worse. last time she ran for reelection, the question was is she too old and voters overwhelmingly said no, we are going to send her back. this is coming from her staff and former staffers, it is not a secret. in the last year, not only sheds -- not only has she aged, she was dealing with her husband's cancer. nine months ago, he was diagnosed with having two weeks to live, he was in the hospital for months, she was going back and forth, it was a high-pressure time. this is not -- this is not the first time her faculties have been question. chuck schumer had a talk with her back when there was -- she hugged lindsey graham during the amy coney barrett hearings
4:16 pm
and she said -- and said she does not seem to be with it. she is still the ranking member of the judiciary committee because she has power. she is probably going to work out the last two years of her term unless something else happens because as you say, she is 88, it is not just mental problems. if she doesn't, it is her call and it will be up to gavin newsom to find someone to fill out the term if she decides to leave. larry: a situation we will be keeping our eye on. reporter: we will. kristen: that air resources for has a new plan to drive all gas powered vehicles off california's roads by 2035. the first phase calls for new passenger cars to be powered by batteries or hydrogen by 2026. less than a decade later, the state expects 100% of new car sales to be free of the fossil fuel emissions. right now, about 12% of cars are electric or zero emissions. larry: neighborhoods adjacent to

4:18 pm
a vertical face of the levy outwards and that provides a refuge for species in the event of water rise. reporter: this project is personal for a member of the waterboard who has gone through three floods. >> i lost everything. today, we know this is another layer of protection, especially when i went to katrina and saw the devastation, what could be happening here. this tells you we are trying to prevent it. reporter: the nearly $1 billion project will benefit other neighborhoods in san jose. miles away, residents of the rock springs neighborhood saw flooding in 2017. >> completion of this project is going to take time. construction of the levy will take four years meeting 2026. completing the ecosystem may not be completed until 2037. larry: probably no flooding
4:19 pm

4:21 pm
another 10th of an inch, 2/10 of an inch possible. snow until 11:00. up to 15 inches in higher elevations. let's focus on saturday moving. like to moderate showers from 2/10 of an inch to one half an inch. friday evening, your plans are fine. saturday morning, not so much. that light to moderate rain, even a few small downpours, you saw some oranges, ponding on the roadways saturday morning. then it turns over to scattered showers and increasing sunshine as we head into the afternoon. it will be a cool day but look at these rainfall amounts, very healthy from a quarter inch to 6/10 of an inch. we have another storm monday night into tuesday. it is a pretty light one. when we come back in the next half hour, thursday's storm into friday could be a whopper. we are talking about more than

4:34 pm

4:38 pm
get rid of all the censorship and if that is the case, we are going to have a zillion more misleading messages out there on an everyday basis and i am not sure that that is good for anybody. what do you think? dan: i think that is well said and you are right, we live in an era with information flying all around us 24/7, a good percentage of it is inaccurate and not only that, the tone of the conversation has become negative and nasty. one would like to think that if he did buy it, it would improve things but i'm not sure that that would be the case. mike: he has not said how he would improve it, did he? larry: nobody has expressed frustration with twitter rules and censorship erred -- censorship. kristen: he says let's do away with ads, there are editorial things. bottom line, if you were to wholly control a platform that so many people use, i wonder if

4:40 pm
it is a little here i suppose in that way and we are late to the party to be outraged if it has been on the air for 30 years. we are in such a sensitive time, as long as the kids are not put in danger or compromised situations. larry: i am never too late to be outraged, you know that. kristen: outrageous. larry: easter is sunday, mattie abbas will be spending more to celebrate, a recent survey finds 45% of americans plan to buy more easter goodies this year compared to last year, americans are 50% more likely to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. what are you doing for easter? dan: we have family, my wife and i have family coming over, a couple of our kids and some friends, my sister. we have a gathering of 12 people and we do a huge easter egg hunt , my wife hides 1000 eggs or something, then a nice meal, so

4:43 pm
ingredients so i thought, i have to take a bite of this. dan: it is really unique and full of flavor. spicy is not the right word, but it is really good. >> the saurashtra gives it a little flavor, i would not call it spicy. larry: are these popular on your menu? >> very popular. we tried taking them off at one point and everyone said, give me back my deviled eggs. we brought them back immediately. mike: have you changed what has been in them? >> they have been the same mixture, the same toppings. just trying to keep them simple. they are creamy, they are not dry. dan: they are creamy. >> that is the aoli coming through, some greek yogurt and there, it smooths everything out. kristen: we love fog city diner and its current incarnation, fog city. what other unique items do you offer? >> one of my favorites is our
