technology, climate, whatever the subject that she has been on the forefront now after years of work representing her district, which is included large parts of the peninsula and south bay, as she says she feels at peace with retired plans. >> i have commuted across the country every single week for 31 years. her retirement comes at a time when congress has seen turmoil, including the recent house speaker race and struggles to avoid a government shutdown. but she said that's not what influenced her retirement. i'm not fleeing the congress. >> that's not what my decision is about. at all. i think that it's time for me. >> as she joins a growing list of sitting congressmen, others retiring, marking a shift in many congressional districts across the country. >> so i'll be looking at the ways in which candidates try and establish themselves as being new, different young, hip outsiders, which i imagine a lot of these campaigns are going to claim. >> as for issues, district, many are rumored to be eyeing her

seat, but she's not putting her name behind anyone yet. in the next year, she says her focus is on getting bills signed into law , including legislation on artificial intelligence. after that, she said she looks forward to more flexibility. >> my life is filled with half dues. i have to do this. i have to do that. i have to set up appointments so i can make sure i can have dinner sometimes with my family. so i think that i think stepping out of congress is that it? it's only a dream to me now, but i look forward to not having as many half dues. >> so some of the people rumored to be eyeing her seat include former san jose mayor sam liccardo, santa clara county supervisor joe simitian, and then state senator josh becker and assembly member evan lo. now, again, she said she's not putting her name behind anyone yet, but she says she's confident her constituents will make their voices loud and clear and that her district will be well represented after she

leaves. >> so zach, she announced this news to the public this morning. is there any insight or indication about whom she may have spoken with ahead of her announcement? maybe to get some advice? >> yeah, you know, i get to talk to her a little bit about that. she definitely let nancy pelosi know in the interview we had with her earlier. pelosi said that she kind of joked, saying that as she told her, didn't ask her that she would be leaving, but as she also told me this morning, too, that she reached out to some key stakeholders in her district. that's in tech at stanford. but she really also wanted advocates to hear the news directly from her. she says it's a lot of advocates in the area that she heard from that brought attention to her, to certain issues, to her attention on and that have been able to lead her to the legislation. a lot of the legislation that she's been able to bring forward. so she's grateful to the advocates and, of course, her constituents. >> well, decades of service for sure. zach, thank you. and as you served on the san mateo county board of supervisors from 1982 to 92, on november third of 1992, she was first elected to district 14, the congressional seat representing parts of san

mateo, santa clara and santa cruz counties. the 2010 census shifted eshu into district 18, and after redistricting again in 2022, issues district shrunk in size. no longer representing santa cruz county. she's currently serving on the committee on energy and commerce . >> earlier on, getting answers. at 3 p.m, i spoke with abc7 news insider phil matier about issues decision and her legacy. >> she was very big on the health issues and bringing us affordable health care under president obama. >> she was big on tech issues, which is understandable since her district included silicon valley. as a matter of fact, her rise in washington sort of corresponded with the rise of silicon valley valley, not just as a economic engine, but as a cultural engine and a controversial one as well. but she managed to take care of it, take care of her constituents and be a steady vote in the house for her good friend and close ally. former speaker nancy pelosi. and it's not too

surprising that she has decided to opt out. now it's not that easy a job and as you point out, her age is up there. >> phil adds. and this mirrors what zach said. we should expect quite a few people to consider running for her seat in the east bay two days after a popular restaurant was vandalized. >> it was then heavily damaged by fire horn barbecue in west oakland has been red tagged, meaning it's not safe for anybody to be inside the fire started around 4:00 this morning near the roof of the building. now, on sunday, the restaurant owner blasted vandals on social media who had scrawled graffiti on his building and then tried to break into a trailer on the site. >> developing news out of the middle east, where it appears a deal is near for hostage exchange. abc news has learned the agreement will call for 50 women and children to be released by hamas in return, fighting would be halted for 4 or 5 days. also israel would release three palestinian prisoners for each israeli hostage. both sides appear willing to do the swap, with

francisco has faced since the aids crisis. last week during apec, president biden made fentanyl one of his priorities when meeting with the president of china and mexico. >> i call this meeting to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep building on the momentum of last week. today president biden announced what actually came out of those meetings, starting with china's production of the drug. during my meeting with president xi, we took a critical step of resuming counternarcotics cooperation between our two countries. as one of the important things we agreed upon and 2019, china essentially stopped direct shipments of fentanyl from china to the united states. but in the years since the drug trade has evolved, after his meeting with mexico's president, andres manuel lopez obrador, president biden is hoping to see a disruption of the trafficking of fentanyl. together, we committed to expanding law enforcement cooperation and intelligence sharing to better disrupt the flow of fentanyl. >> today, we caught up with

speaker emerita nancy pelosi in the tenderloin, one of the cities, fentanyl hotspots. >> i hope there will be results in the conversation with the president of china because the ingredients come from there. the process is done. processing is done in mexico and the sales come on to the streets of san francisco. >> in june, pelosi announced operation overdrive deploying federal law enforcement resources to help local and state authorities to dismantle criminal drug networks. >> it's operation overdrive is an attempt to again address what's happening on the streets. >> all steps that are giving san francisco officials hope in the war against fentanyl. >> i have never seen every body rowing in the same direction and statewide. >> last month, governor newsom announced a new effort to hold drug dealers accountable on the streets of san francisco. his office announced a joint law enforcement task force that will investigate fatal overdoses as homicides. in the newsroom lou.

help us deter, respond to and to investigate these violent crimes to get the perpetrators off the streets. oakland police say they're still searching for at least two more suspects. they believe were also involved. meanwhile in union city, police arrested three teenagers who they say broke into a cannabis dispensary early this morning. it happened at the floor dispensary at the union landing, shopping center. police say the suspects used a vehicle to ram the dispensaries metal door. it's the third time florida dispensaries have been burglarized. police say ten minutes earlier, the thieves tried to break into another dispensary just a mile away in the south bay. >> health officials say they're seeing a rapid surge in rsv cases as well as flu like illnesses. santa clara county is using wastewater data to track illnesses similar to how many health departments kept tabs on covid. recent data has alarmed health officials. so we're definitely noting that this is pretty dramatic, a rise in rsv and what we're seeing is that rsv wastewater has doubled in

recognizable sporting events to the bay area. and we can do that in a number of different ways. we can lead the effort like we've done for super bowl 60 and the fifa world cup or we can support like we did for the nba all star game that was just announced a couple of weeks ago. >> well, in fact, at that event, there was kind of a few remarks made about the bid process, how how difficult is the bid process to land an all-star game or world cup? those events, it can be difficult, right? >> there's a lot of cities that really want to have these events come to their region, right? there's economic impact that comes along with it. there is tourism that comes along with it and there's a gravitas that communities want to feel and have their residents engage in. and so it can be quite a competitive process. lucky for us, right? we live in the bay and so the bay comes with such great natural beauty. people want to be here to have those events and it comes with a spirit of innovation around it. leagues and teams feel like

their game can grow, the sport can grow by coming here. and so we have some natural tendencies. there's diversity in this region that makes it a little bit easier for us to put ourselves forward in those in those bids. >> so we're coming off of apec. obviously, thousands of delegates and very important people in the city. what did you learn from apec that maybe can carry over to some of these major sports events? >> yeah, apec was a great test in some ways for us, right? you have a number of different people coming into the city. you have hotel blocks completely full. there's good tests of infrastructure. and so in those cases, we really learn what the city can do, what the region can do and how people can come together. in some cases, larry, it's not the same right, at the nba all-star game and the super bowl and the fifa world cup are fan facing events. they are built for fans to engage, to celebrate, to have fun. whereas apec may may not be the same. and so we'll look for different ways for communities to actually celebrate and engage and be a part of the event, maybe more so

than apec was intended to do, right? >> well, apec had a lot of big fences up, so would have been hard to be involved. that's right. different. they didn't they didn't want everybody involved necessarily with heads of state around ignite the bay. you've launched that. what is that initiative ignite the bay was our chance to really bring the entire bay area together community leaders, business leaders teams athletes to come and actually really understand what is happening in the bay and why sports are coming here. >> to your point, we've had some there's been some teams that have left. and instead of focusing on that, we want to actually focus on what is happening. you know, in addition to the three events, we have a wnba team coming to the bay. we have an nwsl starting their season in the bay with bay fc, and there are moments for us to actually really celebrate what sport is doing and what sport can do for the bay area and to just almost reignite or re-energize the community and talk about what's coming next. >> okay. i want to i'm going to

put you on the spot and ask you a personal question. are you ready? yes. so you deal with all of these super important high profile people. if you were to take out your phone right now, what name what number would you have in your phone that would impress me or shock me, stun me or whatever? i don't know. >> i probably have well, i have all of my board on my phone, so i have the presidents of every single bay area sports team in my phone, often texting me on things that we need to get done bigger, go bigger. oh, my goodness. lots of government leaders in my phone as well. you know, i talk to local government all the time. i talk to state government all the time because these are important for those legislators, you know, organizations and governments to actually understand what's happening in the bay as well. my husband would say that his number is in my phone, and that's a big deal. larry. >> is that would you agree with that? i don't. yeah. okay. there we are. all right. i understand. i understand the sentiment. i'm sure my wife would say the same thing. yeah he's there, but

she can afford the meal is lifted and these guys are there. >> they give extra flowers. they maybe give an extra treat like these as we relied on them. and again, thankful is exactly what i am. it's divided up into sections. >> so right over here is where the volunteers are loading the food into the trunks of people's cars. each car has a number on it, which tells the volunteers how many is in each household. and then down the line towards the front of it is where they get registered and checked in. >> we have turkey produce all of the stuffing, all of the trimmings that you need to celebrate your thanksgiving holiday. >> the samaritan house does this every year. they take donations from the community and turn them into opportunities for families to enjoy a holiday meant to bring them together. >> these are laborers who are working day jobs, whether it's house cleaning, whether it's working in the restaurants right . so they're working low wage jobs. we want to ensure that they have the capacity to have a festive holiday just as we would families that can create lasting

even to this day, i just if i'm riding an uber alone, i'm dreading like, who's going to show up in this car? >> uber sexual assault survivors sharing their stories as lawsuits get underway on behalf of victims against the san francisco based ride sharing company and abc7 news, i-team reporter melanie woodrow is here with the story that we'll see only on abc7 news. larry, i spoke with two survivors, one who lives here in the bay area, the other was visiting san francisco. >> tonight. their stories and uber's response. billions of uber rides are taken and given every day and according to uber's own 2019 to 2020, us safety report, close to 4000 sexual assault across five categories were reported on the uber app. >> these are predator drivers. i thought it would be safer to

take an uber and it was. it was not. >> it almost felt like the driver. he was just waiting for someone to get in the car and like a young girl to take advantage of. >> now, two women who say they were sexually assaulted by uber drivers are sharing their experience in the hopes that uber will change its safety practices around screening, hiring and removing drivers from its platform. i'm on her way to cat sit in the mission this summer. jennifer says she took an uber to avoid walking through the tenderloin, thinking she'd be safer immediately. she says her uber driver began asking her inappropriate questions. >> oh, do you like to party? and oh, are you having fun? and i'm getting off of work at her destination, he offered to help with her bags. i was taking my backpack off and. and then hands were touching me. i just kept thinking, i can't. i can't believe this is happening. and i said, no, that's that's that's very inappropriate. that this is not i know i don't i don't want this. i know.

>> jennifer says he eventually left, but returned the next day with her cell phone that she had left in his car. a neighbor took the phone for her. she filed a police report. sfpd tells the i-team the investigation remains open. at the time, it was unclear to jennifer whether or not the driver was removed from uber's platform. peiffer wolf, attorney rachel abrams says uber doesn't tell the passenger if a driver is removed from the platform unless they are in litigation and discovery in its 2019 to 2020, us safety report, uber says the core tenets of its approach are to remove requirement of exclusivity. corroboration and survivor credibility when determining whether to ban the accused party from uber's app. in response to a media request, the rideshare company tells the i-team jennifer's driver was deactivated from the platform. um, uber refunded jennifer's ride and sent her information on an uber resources hotline and national sexual assault hotline. >> i didn't imagine that that that would happen to me because of a ten minute uber drive, abrams says. >> uber doesn't properly screen

drivers. >> we do know that they want to do the bare minimum because they want to get drivers without drivers, they don't make money. >> according to uber's 2019 to 2020 us safety report, sexual assault is defined as any physical or attempted physical contact that is reported to be sexual in nature and without consent. the sexual misconduct and violence taxonomy ranges from staring and asking personal questions to non-consensual penetration. but abrams says uber's self-reported assault numbers only include five categories non-consensual sexual penetration, non-consensual kissing of a sexual body part non consensual touching of a sexual body, part attempted non-consensual sexual penetration and non-consensual kissing of a non-sexual body part. >> they're not reporting things that the community would want to know about. >> in its 2019 to 2020, us safety report, uber writes no rider or driver is deactivated from uber for a safety report without a human review. uber also says limiting the categories of incidents to the most severe helps us maintain a

higher level of classification accuracy, reliability and consistency. with our previous report in 2017. alex says she was visiting san francisco by herself when she took an uber immediately, she says her driver began asking her if she had a boyfriend and if she would be his girlfriend. she says. he insists that he show her around the city. i felt like i just needed to be agreeable because he was kind of he seemed kind of impulsive. eventually driving her to treasure island. >> it was out of the way. it wasn't on the way. >> as she took a picture of the view, she says he took her phone to get a selfie. >> he actually, like took a picture with me and i have that picture still. >> then persist it that she sit in the front of the car. >> then he reached over, grabbed me, tried to kiss me, touched my breast, and that's when i pushed him away and was like, take me back right now. no. got really angry, like making me feel like i had done something really, really wrong. and i think at that point i was just like, in fight or flight, alex did not report what happened.

>> she also later realized her driver had canceled the ride. >> felt really shameful about the whole thing. just like, oh, why did this happen to me? is this my fault? and only years later began to openly discuss it. it felt like such a big weight off my chest. >> uber tells the i-team. alex's driver was deactivated from the platform that was not clear why or when, because she didn't report the driver, uber told the i-team there were many different reasons why a driver can lose access to the platform form and for privacy reasons, couldn't go into details about this driver alex says she had at least two other incidents with uber drivers talking sexually during her rides, which she has reported to uber. >> i got a statement like, thank you for submitting this. i think maybe one of them was refunded even to this day. i just if i'm riding an uber alone, i'm dreading like, who's going to show up in this car? >> in an emailed statement on november 1st for an abc7 news report about related litigation in uber, spokesperson wrote quote, sexual assault is a horrific crime and we take every

report of this nature very seriously. while we cannot comment on pending litigation, we are deeply committed to the safety of all users on the uber platform during a recent hearing abc7 news attended, uber's attorney said assaults being litigated in a multidistrict litigation were not preventable from uber's point of view, a point which will be central to ongoing litigation in it tracks predators like these rapists to their platform because they can get away with it. jennifer and alex say they're speaking out to protect others. >> there needs to be more safety or like at the very least, the types of people they're hiring. >> i want this kind of thing to happen to so many people and for it to just get swept under the rug. >> uber says it's constantly working to identify patterns of potentially risky behavior for uber tells abc7 news. it aims to put out a safety report every two years. the last report was released in june of 2022, so possibly this summer. >> i don't know if this would be helpful, but my daughters, when they get in an uber, they make

it clear they're taking a picture of the driver and communicate that i am sharing my location with my family members. and i don't know if that's a preemptive act. that would work, but maybe it's something that people could do. >> yeah, it's unfortunate that people have to take steps. somebody in the newsroom was telling me they make sure that they roll down the window in case the child safety locks are on so that they can get out or reach out. and it's, again, unfortunate that women and people have to think about ways to potentially get out of a situation like this. >> yeah, agreed. i know you'll stay on top of the story. melanie, thank you. a new report out today outlines the benefits and risks of generative artificial intelligence. >> the report is required by an executive order signed by governor newsom in september. in addition to looking at the risks, the report looks at the potential benefits of ai use, including how the state could implement ai. one of the recommendations is that humans should review all ai outputs and state officials should disclose to the public how they're being used. >> coming up on unusual sponsorship for the next rolling

dollars. water, coffee and tea, as well as sodas are free, but only on flights longer than 175 miles. so dan, if i'm at 174 miles, i have to pay for my water. >> right? to bring your own. wow yeah, that's getting pretty picky. >> yeah, it's a little rough out there during the holidays. is sandia, are you more or less inclined to fly during the holidays or are you just like to keep it local? no i keep it local. >> all of our family and friends are here in california, larry, so it makes it easier, of course. yeah >> i try not to travel. >> what flights are less than 175 miles? i mean, to l.a. is like 430 or something. 480. like what? find a sacramento from here. >> yeah, maybe. >> yeah. >> sometimes you fly from oakland to sfo. you don't even want water. >> all right, i'll take kristen's water. thank you. >> okay, new research shows that men have a hard time keeping close friends. according to the survey centers on american life. less than half of men said they're satisfied with their friendships. only 1 in 5 men

said they received emotional support from a friend within the last week. experts say men start losing friends is in mid to late adolescence. i wonder why that is, larry. dan? i mean, well, you guys have a lot of friends. >> dan i used to think dan was my friend. >> not anymore. >> i don't know anymore. >> i don't know. >> you know, i haven't found that to be the case. i do know that being social as we get older is very important. and having a group of friends, even casual friends, but friends that you can trust and share things with is important. you know, i haven't experienced that. i'm very i'm one of those lucky people. i have many friends. a number of close friends, and i seem to make new friends with some regular pretty because i enjoy that. and but i do think it's an important part of life. and i know from a health and mental health standpoint, it's very important as we get older to socialize for men and women. >> well, you're also a really nice person, so it makes sense that people would want to stay in contact with you. on a serious note, i think a lot of guys have reluctance to share their innermost feelings and

showing vulnerability. i think that's true. that's probably part of it as well. >> i think that's very true. >> larry, are you referring to yourself? >> no, i overshare. i overshare. >> larry and i are actually very good friends. and we do share a lot. and so we tease larry. but he's actually a very he will share with you. i think management would probably say i overshare my thoughts. >> man's best friend. they're nodding over there. yes, they are. yes all tens on that man's best friend may not hold the key to happiness for many pets are like members of the family, but they don't actually predict a person's well-being. they study found that pets can provide greater satisfaction with life and less depression. but pets in some cases also a source of stress, leading to concerns about money as well as guilt. like maybe you've got a job, you leave your pet alone at home a lot of the time. whatever the study says, all i know is that, you know, we loved our family dog. if we could have him back, we would pay almost anything. that's how much a part of the

family he was. and dan, i know you feel the same way. yeah we do. >> you know, we found the little snowball we named during the pandemic on our street. no chip, no collar. and suddenly we had a dog. and he's just absolutely wonderful. we love him to death, but having a pet does come with obviously more stress and responsibility. sometimes you know, when you go out of town, you have to make plans for it. and, you know, we had to take him to the vet recently with a problem. so there are those factors, chris but adds a lot. >> i mean, i don't have a pet, but we just did share a story on air about how some folks can't sleep as well because their pets are on their beds and you feel too guilty pushing them off your bed. so you're kind of coping, you know, putting up with the not sleeping well. so when i don't sleep well, i'm stressed. >> so sometimes i wonder why is snowball in my spot in the bed and i'm hanging on literally to the very edge, but i don't want to kick him out. that's what i'm saying. >> snowball is manipulating you, dan, he is. because you're too nice. that's the thing. >> that's it. yes. yes >> all right. the rolling stones are going back on tour. tickets go on sale december 1st. but if
