>> we will be going into the weekend with this heat wave, but at least today, temperatures are a little bit cooler. a smidge, a little bit. yeah. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> we're now into day four of this bay area heat wave. and the national weather service says temperatures will stay dangerously high through saturday night. >> let's get right to abc seven news meteorologist frances dinglasan for a look at the warnings and alerts that we are dealing with frances. >> yeah, that's right, dan. in fact, they have extended the excessive heat warning into saturday. so the areas in hot pink, that's where we can see dangerously hot temperatures up to 105 degrees. and the areas in orange parts of the north bay and along the coast. temperatures can still reach up to 98 degrees. and that's where we have a heat advisory. all the way through saturday. so the heat risk tomorrow, it's still going to be extreme. the areas in dark purple there in the east

bay and parts of the south bay and santa cruz mountains and then we also have major heat risk in many parts of the east bay, some parts of the north bay, and also the south bay. more moderate heat risk now for the north bay and the coast. and that's where temperatures were a bit cooler today and temperatures right now. you'll notice they range from even 75 in san francisco to almost 100 degrees. oakland is 80 degrees, san jose 92. but brentwood 99 degrees and up towards cloverdale 94 degrees. we had a little bit of that sea breeze that cooled things down in the north bay and also the coast, but offshore pattern that remains in effect for the next few days. so here's our future cast by later on this evening, temperatures will be cooling down into the 80s for the inland areas. and then tomorrow morning you'll want to open up those windows, but still mild temperatures in the 60s. and although not quite as hot, we will still be near 100 degrees tomorrow. i'll have the accuweather seven day forecast, and i'll let you know when we

can see a more significant cooldown. ama. >> all right. thank you so much, francis. the bay area heat has a lot of us feeling worn down, sometimes even forgetful. but you never forget your child in your car on a day like today, right? abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey says it is more common than you might think, and he spoke with an expert about ways to prevent a deadly accident. >> for parents out there, this scenario may sound familiar. you're coming home from the grocery store, may be distracted by a phone call, your child is napping in their car seat. you turn off your car and continue with your conversation into your home, but left sitting in the back seat. your child and with our recent bay area heat wave, heat stroke expert jan noll says a car's temperature can quickly make this moment deadly. >> 90 degrees today, in some places in the bay area may be even hotter. we're looking at 135 plus, and those are just not survivable temperatures for an adult, but especially for a child. >> noll says in the first ten minutes after turning off a car, temperatures shoot up 20

degrees, which would be around 120 based on thursday's highs in san jose. heat that children and toddlers can't handle because their internal temps rise 3 to 5 times faster than adults. >> so you or i could be in a car that's 120 degrees, 130 degrees, and we'd be really uncomfortable very rapidly. but within a short amount of time, that could be a fatal incident for a child. >> and it's been fatal 35 times nationwide this year, noll says about a quarter of the cases come from negligence, believing it's not too hot to leave a child in the car. another 25% of cases are when kids end up in cars on their own. but half of the deaths are the result of accidents. when a child is forgotten in their car seat, like in moraga. >> in 2018, young lily of oakland was pronounced dead at the hospital. as of this moment, it just appears to be a tragic accident. >> it happens to the entire socioeconomic spectrum from, you know, professionals down to the unemployed. >> noll says there are ways to help you remember, some cars are equipped with safety reminders

for kids in the back seat. but he says you can also put important items like a wallet or purse in the back seat or an item in the front seat, like a stuffed animal to help you remember your little one. these are steps that seem simple but can be life saving on hot days like today in san jose. dustin dorsey abc seven news. >> good reminder and some good tips there. some bay area schools are struggling with extreme heat because they have limited or maybe even no air conditioning. glenwood elementary in san rafael doesn't have ac. two more elementary schools in the district, only have partial air conditioning. experts say that heat in classrooms has consequences beyond discomfort. >> as temperatures rise, students are less able to pay attention. it's harder for them to retain information. we know that we're seeing even in places in california, that schools have to send children home early and in extreme heat. that obviously jeopardizes learning. >> the superintendent of san rafael city schools tells abc seven news that hvac projects will begin next summer. to add

air conditioning to these schools. we have had a qr code on our screen for all of our heat. related stories here use your phone, open the camera, scan the code. it will take you to our website where you'll find the weather forecasts, warnings about the heat, and all of the recent stories we've done about the weather and its impact. >> we turn now to your voice. your vote. we are just over a month away to election day, and today there were dueling rallies in the bay area over prop 36. it would increase sentences for certain drug and theft crimes. abc seven news reporter tim johns talked to people on both sides of the issue. he's live in the newsroom with their perspectives. tim. >> yeah, it's important to remember that a lot of the conversation around prop 36 actually has to deal with another proposition, that being prop 47, which was passed by voters back in 2014. that law reduced the sentencing for some drug and theft crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. ever since then, people around the state have been debating whether that decision was actually correct. opposing rallies on

opposite sides of the san francisco bay, both of them regarding proposition 36, a ballot measure that voters will decide on during next month's election. if passed, prop 36 would increase sentencing for certain drug and theft crimes, rolling back previous criminal justice reforms passed by voters in 2014. >> we have a situation right now in san francisco where there's just a level of public drug use that that we can't tolerate. it's not helping our neighborhoods, it's not helping our economy, but least of all, it's not helping anybody who is struggling with a substance use disorder. >> san francisco supervisor matt dorsey was a part of the yes on 36 rally. he says in addition to reintroducing harsher penalties for some offenses, prop 36 would also create a new treatment focused court process for some drug possession crimes, a proposal that dorsey says is popular among many in the rehabilitation community, of which he considers himself a part of. >> the bottom line is treatment sometimes needs to be mandated or coerced. sometimes up to 90%

of treatment experiences involve some form of coercion. >> across the bay in san leandro, people gathered for another proposition 36 rally, this one urging folks to vote no. jose bernal of the ella baker center was one of the speakers. bernal believes if passed, prop 36 would roll back hard fought criminal justice reforms and return the state to failed. tough on crime policies. >> we know that it has disastrous consequences. we know that it filled our prisons up. we know that it didn't make us any safer. and if this passes, it will absolutely set us back. >> also in attendance was eddie kitchen. kitchen's grandson, steven taylor, was killed in the san leandro walmart back in april 2020. that's where the rally was held on thursday. kitchen tells me she worries if prop 36 is passed, it will lead to more violent police encounters and jail time for people like her grandson. >> they accused him of stealing. he wasn't stealing. he was in a mental health crisis. he was unhoused at the time and he was a drug addict. he was black.

that should not be a reason to be executed. >> recent polling from the public policy institute of california shows as many as 71% of californians plan to vote yes on prop 36 numbers that bernal attributes to companies like walmart. spending millions of dollars to get the measure passed. however, he believes with hard work, those figures could be turned around. >> i think once we once voters actually hear what it does and what it will do and what it will mean, i think that that polling sways a lot more. >> while prop 36 is opposed by governor gavin newsom, it has garnered support from many bay area leaders, including the mayors of san francisco and san jose. now, another thing prop 36 would do if passed is that it would require courts to warn people convicted of selling illegal drugs to others that they can be charged with murder if one of their clients dies. live in the newsroom tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. county election offices are starting to mail out ballots now. early in-person voting begins october 26th. election

day is november 5th. mail in ballots must be postmarked by that day and received by november 12th in order to count. >> we're hearing for the first time from the family of a daly city man shot to death over the weekend. relatives of yolanda yanga shared this photo of the 60 year old father and husband on sunday night. yanga was followed home, reportedly after a dispute at the gym where he worked. then shot. a 21 year old man and his mother are charged in the case. the yanga family said in a statement he was taken from us through a senseless act of violence, leaving our hearts shattered and our lives forever changed. a gofundme campaign has been set up to help the family with yanga's final expenses. it almost doubled its $10,000 goal in less than one day. you can find a link to this on our website, abc seven news.com. oakland is set to decide next week whether to renew a contract with shotspotter. that's the fremont based company that uses microphone equipped sensors to detect and zero in on gunshots.

police say it is a necessary tool, but critics argue it hasn't done much to curb gun violence. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the story as oakland continues to grapple with gun violence. >> oakland police say the shotspotter technology has been a huge help in tackling crime. >> it's very important to tell us the number of rounds that were fired. it gives us the location that gives us a faster response to get there. so we can locate the victim. >> shotspotter uses sensors to detect gunshots and then alerts police. sergeant huy nguyen admits that shotspotter isn't perfect, but he says it still gives police a more accurate location than a 911 call. >> we go back to back in the old days when i first started, i mean, there's times where we don't locate the victim bodies until ten hours later or the following morning, especially at nighttime when we're out there working night shifts. >> next week, oakland will consider whether or not to renew a three year contract with sound thinking, a fremont based company that operates shotspotter at a cost of almost $800,000 annually. in a memo

from march of this year, then interim police chief darren allison reported that between january 1st and december 31st of 2023, shotspotter alerted opd of 8318 gunshot incidents that led to 199 shooting cases, 29 connected to homicides, 170 linked to assault with a firearm. that means roughly 22% of alerts led to crimes. critics argue those numbers aren't good enough. >> when you look at oakland's own data about 80% of the shotspotter alerts were wild goose chases where police were sent to a place where nothing was happening at all, and only 0.3% were for homicides. right? and we're talking about 8000 alerts in the year 2023. >> critics of shotspotter, like james burch with the anti-police terror project, argue that this technology does little to curb gun violence or solve crimes. there's also concerns of civil rights violations. he points to major cities like houston,

atlanta and chicago that have stopped using shotspotter due to similar concerns. but tom cheatham, with sound thinking, points to the more than 170 cities that do use the technology. >> and we know that shotspotter routinely leads police to gunshot wound victims where there was no corresponding 9-1-1 call. >> burch argues oakland is deep in a cycle of violence, and that the city would be better to invest in proactive programs. there's a lot of focus being spent on responding to a gun after it's been fired, right? >> where the money really needs to be spent is before the gun's been fired at all. >> in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> part of one on one in san francisco is going to be closed all weekend, and it starts tomorrow. we have ways to avoid the traffic next. also ahead, when you utter san francisco, immediately you get this response of yikes! >> what will it take to save san francisco's image? we asked the leading candidates for mayor their individual in-depth

to shake up city hall? in nearly ten years as supervisor, mark grew the bureaucracy by authorizing or creating a commission almost every year. he rubber stamped hundreds of millions to homeless nonprofits

with zero accountability and orchestrated a pay-to-play scheme that sold out taxpayers to the highest bidder. mark farrell has all the wrong experience for the change we need.

in fremont. two other cars were also involved. police blocked off all the lanes of the chp, closed the connector ramps to 8-80. >> happening tomorrow, part of 101 in downtown san francisco will be closed and it will stay closed all weekend. caltrans is going to do emergency barrier repairs. now, this affects northbound 101 at the split with 8-80. sky seven flew over the section. you're looking at it here beginning tomorrow at 10 p.m. drivers on 101 will not be able to take the ninth street exit, or connect directly to the central freeway. we highlighted the closure in red. you see it here on this map and the detour is highlighted in green. drivers will detour at the seventh street offramp. turn left under the freeway. turn left again at the seventh street on ramp to rejoin 101. the closure begins at 10 p.m. tomorrow. as we said, and it won't reopen until 5 a.m. monday. drivers should really plan for delays or avoid the area, or take public transit if

possible. >> it's always a great option. all right, well, i got my car in the east bay today. i'm at 107. i don't know if that was accurate, but it felt like 100. >> that's brutal. let's get to meteorologist frances dinglasan for the latest on this heat. frances. >> yeah. unfortunately, the heat continues and we're going to see triple digits for a few more days. we'll show you a live shot right now. the richmond-san rafael bridge. it's looking hazy out there with some pretty oranges in the sky in san francisco. it's 51, 71 degrees right now. oakland, 80, hayward 90, san jose 92, redwood city 94. and half moon bay. really has cooled down to 63 degrees from mount tam. we're seeing clear skies over many parts of the bay area and santa rosa, petaluma in the low 80s. napa 84. fairfield and concord and livermore have dropped into the mid and upper 90s, so concord is currently 98 degrees. so compared to 24 hours ago, we are cooler in fact, 13 degrees

cooler in napa, rather santa rosa and we'll see nine degrees cooler in san francisco, six degrees cooler in san jose. and that is partially due to the sea breeze that has picked up. notice the winds are coming in from the northwest and that wind is helping cool things down. however, as we show you live doppler seven and the satellite radar image and as i zoom out, what you'll notice is high pressure is in place and that's going to keep the clouds at bay. so here's what you need to know for the headlines tomorrow. it's going to be slightly cooler again. unfortunately, it's still hot. and then this weekend the heat wave continues. temperatures will actually come up again on saturday. next week is really when we start to see some more heat relief and significant cooling, especially for inland areas. so the excessive heat warning has been extended all the way through saturday. the areas in pink, dangerously hot weather up to 105 degrees, and then the heat advisory for the areas in

orange. that's where temperatures could also reach 98 degrees. and you'll find that even possibly along the coast into saturday. so the heat risk for tomorrow has come down. but notice the areas of purple. there's still areas that are under extreme heat risk in parts of the east bay and also the south bay and santa cruz mountains, and major heat risk for the areas. they're highlighted in red, so it's still going to be pretty difficult for the next couple days. tonight, temperatures will drop into the 50s and 60s, so definitely let that cool air in. although still some mid 60s for some inland areas. so not quite cool enough. tomorrow look for a high of 97 in san jose on the peninsula we'll see some 80s and 90s san mateo 86, redwood city 92. but at the beaches with plenty of sunshine still in the mid 70s, downtown san francisco 81. and then the north bay ranges from 80s in sausalito. we'll see some mid 90s novato, cloverdale, up to 100, petaluma, sonoma, napa and the low 90s east bay numbers also in the 80s and 90s oakland 86, fremont.

union city 92 degrees inland areas near 100 but a little bit cooler. walnut creek will be 98. pleasanton 99. livermore 100 degrees. also, if you are having trouble with allergies, it's the tree pollen that is high right now elm, privet, and pine. but no grass out there. at least no grass, pollen, weeds and mold are low. and here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. so it is going to be a little bit cooler. but notice inland areas will still hit near 100 degrees around the bay. upper 80s. we're going to hang on to that heat. basically friday saturday sunday it is going to be hot. this heat wave lasting almost a week long. and also on monday the heat starts to ease. it's really tuesday where we get some relief. so by tuesday next week will be about ten degrees cooler for inland areas. and around the bay is when we start to see some mid 80s and then also mid 70s, and then finally at the beaches more mid 60s. so we look forward to

that. >> thank you francis. >> well working this year for last year's pay. that's the premise behind recognizing today is latina equal pay day. next see what's being done to improve equality and build a i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but i'm just the flu.” (sniffs.) it's him! who? i'm just the flu. demand more from your flu shot. sanofi higher-dose flu vaccines are proven to provide better flu protection than standard dose flu shots in older adults. they've even been shown to better protect

against flu-related complications. don't get fluzone® high-dose if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your health care professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. fainting has occurred. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. all flu shots are not the same. ask for a sanofi higher-dose flu vaccine. talk to your pharmacist or doctor about fluzone® high-dose or flublok®.

he saw no relief. today, stocks lost ground and you can once again blame the middle east. the dow went down 184 points. the nasdaq was essentially flat. the s&p lost only nine. investors are rattled by iran's missile attack on israel this week. and israel's counter strikes. one bright spot in the market is energy, as oil prices spike on those same concerns. >> building a better bay area means equal opportunities for everyone in the workplace. on average, in the u.s, latinos are paid just $0.51 for every dollar made by men. and in silicon

valley, that gap is even wider. today, latino leaders and members of the community gathered in the south bay to call on local leaders and businesses to close that wage gap. abc7 news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more on the response they're getting from local government. for every hour, for every day that we have deserve equal pay, that's the call thursday on latina equal pay day. >> the day falls on the 277th day of the year, when latinas catch up to what white men earned in the previous year. >> san jose, unfortunately, is the epicenter of the wage gap in the entire nation. latino workers are paid 33.6 cents on the dollar compared to their white, male, non-hispanic counterparts. and what that means is debilitating for that individual. for families. >> that data coming from a psl report and national partnership for women and families. it also says that if the wage gap was eliminated, the typical working latina would have enough money to pay for around 33 months of

child care, 38 months of food and six semesters of tuition and fees at a four year public university. >> this gap represents more than just numbers. it limits our opportunities, our financial security, and the opportunity to build generational wealth. >> gabby chavez lopez, leader of latino coalition of silicon valley, says there has been some small movement in the right direction with latina equal pay day moving up in the year. >> we don't want to work all the way up until december, november, october this year, but we have seen shifts. last year we were in november. the year prior we were in december. and so we're moving closer to january. >> san jose city council member pete ortiz said he's working on policy that makes sure the city of san jose does its part, recognizing that our city needs to take its own action. >> my office is planning to introduce a memo for a comprehensive study on if a wage gap exists internally within the city. we are looking to hold ourselves accountable on this. >> chavez lopez says any

movement from government to close the wage gap is a step in the right direction, but adds that it's also up to businesses, nonprofits and individuals to take a stand, something she says could be in everyone's best interest. >> because so goes latinas, so goes the future of california. fairly. >> you know how in san jose? zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> tonight, the issue of image. how is san francisco seen in the bay area of the country and around the world? >> san francisco has an image problem. still, after all this time, it's better than it was, but it still exists. and it's not just because of ron desantis, fox news, and elon musk's inane rants on any given tuesday. what will the leading candidates for mayor do about it? their in-depth individual interv

for mayor. abc seven mornings anchor reggie aqui along with annie gauss from the s.f. standard and well-known author and podcaster kara swisher, had the opportunity this week to talk at length with the top candidates. london breed, mark farrell, daniel lurie and aaron peskin came to abc7, where we

asked them about their plans to make the quality of life better in san francisco and these in-depth interviews will help you make an informed decision about your vote. >> as you know, the global perception of san francisco is not what it used to be. so how will these candidates improve the city's tarnished image? >> abc seven news reporter monica madden joins us live to tell us what they had to say. hi, monica. hey, guys. >> you know, san francisco really has had a rough time in a couple of years on the national stage. images of robberies, vacant streets and rampant drug use have been seen all across the world. really. and it's keeping businesses from moving in and tourists from visiting. and the next mayor will need to change that for one of the most iconic cities in america, its reputation precedes itself. but in recent years, san francisco has had a pr problem. >> the city has struggled, like many in recent years, with homelessness, rampant drug use and crime. >> it was one of the nicest cities in the world. we were going to go back and visit this summer, but we decided to go someplace safer, like baghdad.

>> perception and reality are two things, but the candidates for mayor all acknowledge that the city has gotten a bad rep. >> when you utter san francisco, immediately you get this response of yikes, what do you do? >> former interim mayor mark farrell says the view of the city cannot change until its problems are solved. >> unless you fix the underlying issues that are truly making it tough for people who live here, but also people that visit here. to me, it's like lipstick on a pig right? we need to have sustainable growth. sustainable difference in san francisco. so as mayor, my priority will be focusing on public safety, cleaning up our streets and then being the most proactive mayor in our city's history, marketing our city to the business community, to the tourist community. taking advantage of our sister cities around the world to bring our economy back. but we cannot start doing that in earnest unless we have a mayor that's going to focus in a determined fashion on those first core issues. i'm a cheerleader for san francisco. if we're doing better, that's great. but the reality is we might have come off the bottom, but we should expect so much

more in san francisco, not only from our own city, but from our city leaders. >> nonprofit leader daniel lurie says he has the chops for getting tourists back. >> mayor ed lee in 2013 saw my ability to bring civic leaders together, business leaders together, and asked me to chair the bid to bring super bowl 50 here, a global sporting event. it wasn't because i was a sports guy. it was because he knew that i could deliver, and we did. we brought a global sporting event, $240 million of economic revenue. i've housed over 40,000 people since 2015. i know how to get big things done. and the key component of all of it is holding people accountable. if you want more of the same, you got four other people to choose from. if you want something different, if you want change in this city, i'm all i'm here for it. >> board of supervisors president aaron peskin says he'll work with everyone on the board to make necessary changes to improve the city's biggest issues. >> so i listened to people i

work with, people i try to figure out what the best path forward is. i work with experts. i try to bring people together. you've seen it in instances where i work with my political opponents, like the work that mayor breed and i did to change the zoning downtown to build more housing. the work that i'm doing with my colleagues to provide more affordable financing. so we can address our housing crisis. >> and as mayor since 2018, incumbent london breed gets a lot of the blame. >> san francisco has an image problem. still, after all this time, it's better than it was, but it still exists. larceny thefts are higher than most cities in the united states. >> well, i'm glad to be here to answer the questions, to provide a lot of the facts about what's actually happening in san francisco. in fact, crime is lower than it's been in a decade. and one of the great things we have now that we didn't have before was 21st century technology. never in the history of our police department

were we able to use drones and cameras and other equipment, which has led to a remarkable change around crime. >> but breed says sf is on the rise again. >> i also want to make it very clear we are well on our way and when i say well on our way, many larceny thefts overall are down, especially car break-ins. just in june and july alone are down over 70% and 50% overall year to date. this year. we're excited about the new numbers, the new data. but again, unless you feel it, we of course still have work to do. and i acknowledge that. >> all for hoping to make the world see san francisco once again as the city they love. and tomorrow you can hear more from the candidates as we ask what they had to say about san francisco's struggling economy, what needs to be done to bring people back to union square, and how to bring life back to downtown? that is the question. >> so many issues that they have to deal with. all right. thanks, monica. >> well, watch more of our

consume more krill to survive than previously believed, and both organisms are part of a delicately balanced ecosystem. marine researcher cassandra brooks participated in the study. she says the antarctic can be a difficult and demanding environment, and we have this incredible moment where they are recovering. >> it's this incredible moment of hope showing that if you, you know, stop fishing something or you manage it well, the system can actually recover. >> the team is hoping that consumers will ultimately pressure manufacturers using krill to support a sustainable fishery that ensures enough food for a recovering whale population. >> is that the type of sort of product chain that you want to support, and you know, i don't necessarily want to push people in one direction or the other. i think we should all make up our own minds on this. but yeah, i think just informing people so that they can make educated decisions as consumers. >> at stanford. spencer. christian. abc seven news. >> all right. so what can be done right? the study also offers several suggestions,

including not targeting krill populations during spawning to help bolster their population. >> all right, let's get to the weather, because you just want to jump in the ocean at this point because it's so hot. >> yeah, yeah. francis is back. indeed. in fact, temperatures right now, we're still near triple digits in some spots, like concord at 98 degrees. san francisco is currently at 71. oakland 80 degrees. san jose hanging to on 92 degrees. let that somewhat cool air in tonight as temperatures drop into the 50s and 60s. you want the fans on and to enjoy it while you can because tomorrow, even though it's going to be a little bit cooler, we'll still be near some of the century marks and some of the inland areas like fairfield at 100. but tomorrow san francisco will be 81, oakland 86, and san jose, 97, will see santa rosa hitting the mid 90s. temperatures will warm up even a little bit more for saturday, and that's why the excessive heat warning has been extended through saturday night. we can still see areas reach up to 105 degrees in hot pink and

even orange there. heat advisory still in effect through saturday. and that's where temperatures can hit near 98 degrees. and then here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so a long look at this what you can expect. basically we still have three more hot days as this heat wave continues. temperatures will come down just a smidge on for tomorrow as ama said earlier. but then they come right back up on saturday. so still near triple digits saturday and sunday. and then monday is when the heat starts to ease. we really get more significant relief on tuesday where inland areas will finally be near 90 and around the bay in the mid 70s and at the coast in the mid 60s. then we cool down, we see more cloud cover really getting closer to average. not until the end of next week, but average is great. >> yeah, we need significant not smidge. >> yeah, yeah. >> thanks, francis. all right. larry, what's going on? i'm melting.

>> the moment i heard college gameday was coming to berkeley, i thought, marshawn lynch has got to be there. and beast mode will be there bright and early. in fact, he has a very specific message for cal football fans. i hope he shows up with a cart. that's next. in sports. >> i'm reggie aqui, i'm lyanne melendez, i'm luz pena, i'm tara campbell, i'm j.r. >> stone at abc7 news we deliver local stories with real answers to help make o

to shake up city hall? in nearly ten years as supervisor, mark grew the bureaucracy by authorizing or creating a commission almost every year. he rubber stamped hundreds of millions to homeless nonprofits with zero accountability and orchestrated a pay-to-play scheme that sold out taxpayers to the highest bidder. mark farrell has all the wrong experience for the change we need.

they're both banged up. coach kyle shanahan said he'd obviously rather see those guys practicing, but they're veterans. they don't necessarily need the reps and the work to be ready for the cardinals on sunday. just to give you an idea of how good brock purdy has been, he started 25 games. so

here's the list of highest passer ratings since 1970. dan marino's fourth. kurt warner's third. patrick mahomes is second. you want to guess who's first? brock purdy leading the pack with a rating of 112.6. kittle making that catch obviously helped him. he's a tad ahead of the chiefs star. mahomes was one 12.5. purdy no longer the new kid on the block trying to prove himself, but he does want to keep getting bette. >> when i first got in my rookie year, there was this this energy of, hey, i'm a young guy getting thrown in. man, i'm going to just show my guys that i can compete and bring it and bring it every down and every play and give our team a chance. and sometimes, you know, like when you play for a long time, you can sort of lose that. what it boils down to is for four quarters, man, how can you compete and elevate everybody else's game around you by doing what it takes to win and that simplicity of it. >> to watch that kittle catch over and over. the warriors play their first preseason game against the clippers that is saturday afternoon in hawaii,

where they've been holding training camp. now they gave gary payton the second a camera and just let him loose at practice. it's always dangerous. even he is in awe of watching steph workout. gp2 was bugging a lot of people, but he would not bother stephen curry. trace jackson davis giving him the stare down. get that camera off me! uh. he was playing reporter asking jonathan kuminga questions. the big question for the warriors. even in paradise. who's the starting five? we know steph and draymond will be out there. steve kerr figuring it will work itself out. >> you know last year we spent a lot of the year unable to play certain combinations and searching for combinations that fit. and so the starting lineup is going to have to be dependent not only on the first five fitting, but the second five fitting as well. it's easier when you know your starting five and you know your first four guys off the bench way easier as a coach when you have that. but we don't have that. so let's let's turn that into a positive

and turn it into competition. >> like steph shooting his jumper with a floral leis wnba made it official announcing caitlin clark as the rookie of the year. she received 66 of 67 votes. angel reese got the other one. caitlin averaged 19 points, along with a league best eight assists per game and took a fever team that was not very good a year ago and led them to the playoffs. hey, if you're a giants fan looking for some positivity, this is from the pre pre pre pre farhan era. today is the 73rd anniversary of one of the most famous home runs in giants history. bobby thompson. shot heard round the world to win the 1951 pennant at the polo grounds in new york against the dodgers off ralph branca. the giants win the pennant. the giants win the pennant. man on deck for the giants, at that time, a 20 year old kid, a rookie named willie mays. espn's college gameday will visit cal for the first time this weekend. the guest speaker will be none other than legendary oakland native marshawn lynch of course, nfl great everybody is hoping he pulls up in a golf cart like this back in 2006. if he doesn't show up in a golf cart, i'm going to be very unhappy. the show starts at 6 a.m. saturday

morning again, 6 a.m. live from the memorial glade in berkeley, and marshawn posted this encouraging everyone to show up early. i wish i could do a good marshawn impersonation, but it reads in part. pit opens at 3:30 a.m. yeah, a m show is live at 6 a.m. we on team no sleep straight from yo night out right to campus. ready to get it in. >> what about the. yes, lord, i wanted to hear you say that. >> sports on abc7 is sponsored by smart and final. you want to say what? yes, lord, is that. is that a mask? >> yes, lord. it was the first thing on there. >> i'm just reading my script. i'm sorry, but but. but something tells me that this will not be the first time that marshawn has gone to an event with no sleep the night before. i'm just. just a guess. just a guess. it's fun to see him kind of come. >> he he has become so much more out there and vocal. >> last couple of years. he is so entertaining. yeah. all right. thanks. >> yeah. all right. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm

ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for frances dinglasan, larry beil, all of us. >> we appreciate your time. we'll see you again tonight at 11.
