through without a public airing. here's robert carroll from the consumer federation of california. >> this is no way to run a country. this is no way for the state of california to conduct its business. >> former insurer commissioner congressman john garamond warned a backroom deal would be bad news for consumers if they succeed. >> get lead. california policyholders are going to once again be screwed by the insurance industry. >> we asked the insurance group , the personal insurance federation of california, for comment. but did not hear back. however for a previous report, the federation told us we do not and have not had a legislative proposal. >> yeah, i mean, it's amazing how these guys basically lie. there was a deal on the table. there was a plan on the table. they may not have consummated the deal, but they were clearly talking about a legislative plan. consumer watchdogs jamie caulk. i think the sunshine was
6:31 pm
the best disinfectant here. and i think it kept this deal from happening. that doesn't mean there's not going to be attempts to do it again in the future, but hopefully they'll be with the regular legislative process . >> now, i'm told the industry wants three main changes, rate increases without divulging data shifting high risk insurance costs from insurance companies to policyholders and charging consumers for what is now considered normal business expenses. carl sussman is an insurance broker and expert based in west los angeles. he says the lack of movement is going to make getting property insurance more difficult. >> but when the announcement sort of came down the pipeline that it looked like there was not going to be any type of arrangement, any type of agreement between, you know, everyone trying to get this done . we immediately started getting notes from other insurance companies that said, okay, since it looks like nothing is going to happen, you know, in this session, we're going to be
6:32 pm
stopping new business. so for now, prop 103, which passed 35 years ago and regulates the industry in california, still stands, as we have known it. >> but that doesn't mean it always will. we'll see what's going on. >> good point. thank you, michael. appreciate it. >> well, also out of sacramento today, a bill to allow amsterdam style cannabis cafes has been sent to the governor for his signature. the bill was approved by both the state senate and the assembly. it would let local governments license cannabis shops to venture into other business like selling coffee and food. san francisco assembly member matt haney, who wrote that bill, says it would help both struggling cannabis businesses and empty downtowns. house speaker kevin mccarthy made it official today. >> he's set to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden. mccarthy is demanding to know whether the president, former president, benefited financially from his or president benefited financially from his son. hunter biden's foreign business dealings. this latest move comes amid increasing pressure on mccarthy from the gop to move
6:33 pm
ahead with the inquiry or risk losing his speakership. >> the american people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically associated family . >> house led gop investor allegations so far have not uncovered any direct evidence that the president benefited from hunter biden's foreign dealings. the white house called mccarthy's move, quote, extreme politics at its worst. today on getting answers. cal state east bay professor nolan higdon says the effort is unlikely to move the needle with the american public unless you have the evidence and the votes to convince the public that a president has done wrong and then remove the president. >> this is largely kind of a futile political exercise. it turns a lot of voters off because regardless of how they feel about a joe biden or donald trump, usually impeachment of the president is very low on people's priority list. >> the inquiry process is slated

there were definitely seasons in the work. there would be hurricane season and then we'd have a bit of a break in the fall. we'd see hurricane, you know, tornado season in the spring. you have a few floods in the early summer, but there would be these breaks between these types of events that you could rebuild capacity. and we don't have a break anymore. it is constant to meet the demand. >> the red cross disaster relief agency is launching $1 billion response effort as these events are expected to increase because of climate change from the wild weather abroad to some really mild weather here in the bay area. >> yeah. sandhya patel has the latest for us. >> sandhya. yeah our weather is really nice in comparison to other parts of the world. and julian, let's take a look at your air quality that is actually good for most of the bay area. >> it is moderate in oakland right now as we take a look at a live picture from our kgo roof camera, it is breezy outside and the air quality will remain good the next three days. as we check out live doppler seven, some fog right near the coast will be expanding as the night goes on. and tomorrow afternoon, it'll hang around near the coast,

keeping your temperatures in check in the low 60s. but away from the coast will see a little bit of a warm up inland. highs will be in the low 90s. plenty of sun for your wednesday. let's take a look at hurricane lee. it is still a very ■large hurricane in the atlantic. category three packing winds of 115 miles an hour. rough, dangerous surf and rip currents expected to impact much of the eastern seaboard. the coastline there over the next several days. and by sunday as a much weaker system, it could make landfall across new england. so there may be more than just surf that they'll have to deal with. accuweather seven day forecast. we're going to go with a little warmer away from the coastline for your wednesday and then those temperatures will be similar on thursday before we cool it off for the end of the work week heading in through the weekend and even into early next week. we're going to stay below average around this time of year. it's a good thing to be below average since fire danger is a concern. so julianne and omar, appreciate it. >> thank you. sandy, you.
6:50 pm
>> i don't know why i watched that. i'm not going to say below average. >> i wasn't going to say, larry. i don't know why this keeps coming in this direction. the below average. >> i was going to say, i don't know why i watched the aaron rodgers video. >> did you watch the close up where you could see it? >> that was just painful. >> it's you know, it's terrible. it's the latest on aaron rodgers, the diagnosis the jets feared the most. plus what did draymond green really think when he heard chris paul was about to become a warrior? probably the same thing you would. i thought

6:54 pm
the former cal star done for the year surgery next. there is some hope that rodgers will decide to come back to lead the team next year. >> i feel more for aaron than anyone. you know, he he is he's invested so much into this organization and so much into this journey that he's he's embarked on and wanting to be a part of what we've got going here. and it's really all about him. >> we have some good news on the injury front. cal star running back jaden knot is doing well after this scary fall. look out against auburn on saturday. i tell you what, this is eerily reminiscent of the jahvid best injury years ago and that did not end well. but head coach justin wilcox says he anticipate that the sophomore ot will be ready to play in this week's game against idaho. all right. it's not how you start, it's how you finish, right? and after a really rough stretch that saw the giants lose six straight and fall out of the wild card race. now they've won four straight and they're back within a game and a half of the final wild
6:55 pm
card berth in the nl. help is on the way by the way. don't look now, giants getting healthy at just the right time. our cameras were at oracle park catching patrick bailey and michael conforto rehabbing on the field. bailey working his way back from the concussion list. conforto from a hamstring strain. both guys looked good under the watchful eye of trainer dave greschner manager gabe kapler, encouraged by their progress. >> it's great and we're i mean, obviously we want to be have as full a roster as possible and i think that's right a good chance pat is back in in the lineup for us tomorrow so you can envision a scenario where in the next like 48 hours or a little bit more, you can have a roster that is, i think, full. so yeah, that's maybe 48 hours. is, is too definitive, but in the next few days. giants and guardians tonight. >> nba season is right around the corner. in fact warriors single game home tickets go on sale tomorrow at warriors.com. dubs fans have to get ready for the chris paul experience. i know, i know. it's going to be
6:56 pm
hard. the warriors and their fans, they've despised chris paul for the past decade, starting with his time as a clipper and then the rockets and the suns and the fake smile and the little shimmy mocking steph. well, even draymond green had to pause for a moment when he heard cp three might join the team. >> man we thinking about bringing chris paul in? i didn't say no. i definitely didn't say no because again, i know who chris paul is. i know what chris paul bring. but it was just like, whoa, all right. and then it takes a little adjusting like , wow, this is real. i'm a student of the game of basketball and chris paul is a master. >> he is a master indeed. and so is this guy, tom brady. really enjoying his retirement. the one time sarah high star posted a video of himself shooting jumpers. he's got a step back jumper. his shot is pure. i mean , i guess it shouldn't be that surprising that the greatest quarterback of all time is a really good athlete, but he's
6:57 pm
not even touching the rim on these shots. chris oh my goodness. it's like, can you just do you have to be perfect at everything? like i hate people like that. i mean, it's just leave a skill for you and me. occasion finally. there's nothing just pure. yeah i just could do this all day long back to back to back to back. steph curry right here. boom, boom, boom, boom. >> all right. thanks, larry. coming up tonight on abc seven at eight, celebrity wheel of fortune, followed by jeopardy! masters at ten, the chase. and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want wherever you are. all right. that is it for now. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm julian glover for sandy patel. larry beale and the entire abc seven news team. have a good night. we'll see you back here
