mail-in ballots to registered voters in the state. what do you say to the president's concerns about ballots are well ? utilized all across the spectrum, all across this country and have been done so thoughtfully and safely for a generation. we want to prepare to keep people safe and allow them to have their constitutional rights protected, the constitutional right to vote, without putting their health at risk. >> reporter: coming up at 6:30 why governor newsom thinks california's economy could see a v-shaped recovery. you can watch the full interview with the governor at 7:00 on the "today" show here on nbc bay area. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." meantime, as some areas open for more business, the bay area's biggest county, santa clara county, is not moving into phase three. dr. sarah cody says she's

worried about much of the state reopening so soon particularly houses of worship being allowed to reopen. she says gatherings are important, but if someone there is sick it would be hard to keep that virus from spreading. a new legal battle seems to be brewing over governor newsom's reopening plan. attorneys from the pacific legal foundation promised to announce a new lawsuit today claiming that the plan is arbitrary and unfair to certain small businesses. that announcement takes place a little before noon. president trump is heading to florida today to watch the spacex launch. it's his fourth trip to the battleground state. "today in the bay's" tracie potts joins us live this morning. she has the latest on the president's feud with joe biden as coronavirus cases are rising in more than a dozen states. tracie? >> reporter: as america

approaches a grim milestone 100,000 deaths from coronavirus, 18 states are seeing more new infections. >> the testing that we're doing leads to more cases. >> the landmark of 100,000, it's not going to stop there. i wouldn't be surprised if we get to 150,000 or 200,000. we should have waited. >> reporter: scenes like this leading one mayor to warn memorial day crowds. >> quarantine yourself. do it for yourself. do it for your grandma. do it for your neighbors and your co-workers because that's very risky behavior. >> reporter: president trump now in a feud with presidential candidate joe biden over wearing a mask. >> biden can wear a mask, but he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions, perfect weather. they're inside, they don't wear masks. i thought it was very unusual. >> he's a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. that's not going to increase the likelihood people will be better

off. >> reporter: congress is still at odds over the $3 trillion aid package mitch mcconnell insists is going nowhere. >> we're not interested in borrowing money for future generations. to send down to states to solve pre-existing problems that they had. >> it's the first offer and we know we have to negotiate. >> reporter: mcconnell is pushing a more targeted plan with little detail so far on what that might include. >> that was tracie potts reporting. marin county health leaders are asking everyone who works in public service jobs to be tested with free options available. so the county tripled the testing capacity for covid-19 over the past three weeks. people who work in areas like grocery, food service or construction are being asked to get tested. they're encouraging businesses to test workers with new on site testing options available from marin's public health

department. in a few hours state superintendent tony thurmond will update schools on plans of reopening and distance learning next fall. but a new "usa today" poll finds many teachers and parents are not confident about returning to the classroom next year. one in five students -- one in five teachers say that they are unlikely to go back to school if and when they reopen. and six out of ten parents say they would consider finding at-home learning options rather than sending their children back to the classroom. many organizations suddenly face tough financial challenges in the wake of the pandemic and that includes the ywca. the annual event to raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault won't even be held in person. it just can't. that's not interrupting their mission to serve. joining us this morning is candace crosby. thank you for waking up early

and joining us. good to have you. >> my pleasure. hello, good morning. >> like so many nonprofits you've had such tough times. i know reportedly you've had numerous layoffs there. the big fund-raisers going away. yet there is still a need, a big one, here in silicon valley. tell us about it. >> well, that's right. the good news is we've been able to protect our staff, protect the hours and see an increased demand for services that are skyrocketing. we're calling on the community to come on out, support our work, amplify our message and walk a mile in her shoes. >> let's talk about that. walk a mile in her shoes. it's that great event. i know marcus has been participating in it as well where you get men to put on these heels and literally walk a mile. it's to raise awareness for domestic violence. there's great concern during

this time of the pandemic and people sheltering at home that women aren't able to get out and get the help they need. this event now you're having to kind of re-invent yourself as well and hold it virtually. >> that's right. it's virtual. you can walk a mile anywhere -- on a treadmill, in your neighborhood. we're asking everyone in the bay area to step up, to walk a mile to show our community that we support and are asking the whole community to get involved. it's 56 hours between june 23rd and june 25th, and it's really a great way to show our community that we care about raising awareness, raising funds and providing services to survivors of viol an 800 number because should people need services, they're still available.

>> that's right. we are fully operational and we have more support than ever before. and so survivors of violence need to know that we're here for you. we remain fully operational for you. we are ensuring that survivors have all the services they need. but i do want to share with our community, laura, that the need is going up and now more than ever before we sure could rely on our community to make sure services are delivered. we're asking the community to literally step up with us, walk the walk, amplify our message. the other heartening thing right now is that we've seen survivors of violence get connected with our service because of the community. so amplifying our message is truly making a difference in helping people get connected with the help they need. >> very important. there's the number on your screen as well. tanis crosby with the ywca, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. we're talking about what a

hot day it's been, oh, and what is on the way? if you're going to go out and walk, start early this morning. yes, you want to get all those outdoor activities in early this morning as we start out with already a warm one for us as we take a look at san jose and our temperature trend i think by noon you don't want to be outside running or doing a vigorous activity as our temperatures will be dangerous reaching into the triple digits for many of the inland areas. we are going to have a cooldown in the forecast. i'll show you more on that as well as a chance of rain in the weekend forecast. mike, you've been watching the roads. what's going on now? kari, overall it's what you would expect the south bay, freeways 101 and highway 87, which are actually easing up with the early burst of traffic. we've seen that be the pattern from about 5:30 to 6:15. but i want to call out two serious crashes that i have to show you. 185 -- highway 85, one is on

highway 85, blocking all the lanes from what i understand. it just happened approaching blossom hill and that is a problem for the freeway traffic. you may get diverted off. they may reopen in a few. in the area a lot of activity and viewers have been calling us to ask what's going on at branham. unfortunately, a pedestrian was hit there. we are following that as well with the san jose pd. so watch that major intersection for the investigation and possibly a reroute. back to you. >> i hope they're okay. thank you very much, mike. 6:13 right now. coming up, the countdown is on. in just a few hours liftoff for america's first manned space flight in nearly a decade. we'll have a live update on the important mission ahead for two nasa astronauts. the president is having so many different fights with san francisco's twitter. we're going to break it into two parts. the first part coming up. let's take you out and look at the futures. once again the dow ready for a rally while the nasdaq seems to

have lost its invitation. you're watching "today in the bay."

at 6:16, let's head to martinez, one of the spots to reach the triple digits today. we start out with warm weather. it gets dangerously hot.

we will have a cooldown in the forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. good morning. a very good wednesday to you. as you well know i talk about a at 6:15 and then coming up at 6:45 i talk about the president. but today we're going to talk about twitter and the president in both segments because there is so much happening between the two of them. president trump continues to make claims on twitter tv host and former congressman joe scarborough might be responsible for the death of a congressional staffer 19 years ago. investigators say she died after a fall while having heart trouble, and scarborough was not there at the time. now as we discussed yesterday, the young woman's husband, the widower, wrote an emotional letter to twitter saying the president had, quote, perverted her death and it was causing the family to grieve all over again.

twitter has responded. it won't take the tweets down, but a spokesperson did say we are deeply sorry about the pain these statements and the attention they are drawing are causing the family. it says it's working on new policies so we can more effectively address things like this going forward, and we hope to have those changes in place shortly. twitter has said in the past it will not censor the president, it will not take down his tweets or change them. at the same time it was apologizing it added blue fact checks underneath the president's inaccurate claims that mail-in voting is fraudulent and that california is sending ballots to everyone in california. that's inaccurate. we'll get to that at 6:45. this segment is about how the president is making inaccurate claims on twitter about a family. this next segment will be about how the president is making inaccurate claims on twitter about the democratic process. other news, the wall street journal reports amazon may buy

zoox. they have made investments in other companies as well. the stock markets rocketed up on tuesday with states reopening and positive talk of vaccines. the earliest they're talking about a vaccine is a year from now. the dow gained 529 points or about 2%. futures call for about a 300 jump on the open. and, marcus and laura, our podcast sand hill road is back in production. we've figured out how to do it while sheltering at home. we have published a new episode now available on itunes and spotify and google play. go check it out. >> a lot of people have been checking it out. and well worth it because, scott, you are the rip of the regional edwin r. murrah award, a huge award for the podcast. we want to say congratulations

to you. >> thank you very much, marcus. it is a huge honor. thank you very much. >> we're very proud of you, scott. >> well deserved. congratulations. 6:19 for you this morning. and here is something good for you to go along with scott's award from harry potter author j.k. rawlings, trying to help out families sheltering at home right now. >> that's right. so she's created this new social media project called harry potter at home to encourage kids to read. now all seven harry potter books are free to read online, plus this month she enlisted several actors to do audio recordings of the first novel "harry potter and the sorcerer's stone." the actor who played harry in the first movie will read the first chapter. have to encourage children to read. we're quickly approaching summer. it already feels like summer. my kids are already out for the summer and i'm trying to

keep them busy and also trying to stay cool. whatever we do it's best to do it early in the day as our temperatures are starting out in the 50s and low 60s, but we're upper 60s in the south bay for san jose as well as concord and we are also going to have to deal with a heat advisory that starts at 11:00 and continues until 7:00. those will be the hottest hours of the day. in walnut creek we are seeing our morning in the 70s. as we go into late morning into the afternoon it's going to be best to try to stay in front of a fan, drink lots of water and make sure you're taking care of those pets. we are also going to see around the bay area extremely hot weather today as our temperatures peak as we reach up to over 100 degrees. then as we go into the weekend a storm system moving up the coast will bring in a chance of rain on saturday and it's going to be a late season storm, so it may not have a lot of moisture with it. we'll have to watch and see if it'll bring us that rain or even a chance of lightning.

as we get through the next few days, our temperatures start to come down and then look at the weekend, more clouds and that chance of showers. but, hey, at least it's going to feel much more comfortable. mike, you're looking at the morning commute. any issues popping up? no, kari, our pattern seems to be at 6:15 things start to lighten up. the early burst in the south bay, better news, also, for north 85. that freeway has reopened. a crash that was blocking all lanes has moved to the shoulder. unfortunately, we still have the deadly crash involving the pedestrian. over here on surface streets, so do keep that in mind as you travel through the major intersection. the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow of traffic. the note yesterday metering lights on at the bay bridge. i don't think we'll have the same this morning. i think that was just a rush of folks checking in after the >> thanks, mike. america's first manned space mission in years blasts off in a matter of hours. spacex prepares for liftoff.

outer space. >> reporter: right after 4:30 eastern time the astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley will climb aboard the crew dragon capsule that sits atop the falcon-9 rocket. they'll be wearing a new look for this space travel and they will use touch screen controls. they are scheduled to rendezvous with the international space station 19 hours after liftoff. their mission will last anywhere from one to four months depending on how things go, laura. >> wow, so exciting. let's hope it goes off no problem. thanks so much. sarah dallof. 6:27 for you that morning. coming up next the top stories we're following including dozens of workers in the south bay infected with coronavirus. the outbreak at a fish processing plant and the people hit hardest now calling for a shutdown.

expected to be part of one of the hottest areas in the bay area. the question this morning, is there any relief in sight? and a live look at the big board. the dow is up 356 points right now. a surge would make it a third straight day of gains. we'll be following that for you this morning. and a good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us right here on "today in the bay." i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. it looks like the numbers are up across the board, stock markets and the temperatures rising across the bay area as well. we can hit some records today, kari? yeah, we've been hitting records for the past two days and it looks like today we continue that trend as our temperatures peak. a look at the warm start of this day as we look for mt. diablo looking over parts of the east bay heading over to walnut creek. we are going to see our temperatures starting out this morning in the low 70s, but quickly we see those

temperatures jump into the 90s. so try to get in those outdoor activities early in the day. we'll talk more about a week cooldown in the forecast and exactly where we will see the hottest temperatures coming up in a few minimum. and, mike, you've been tracking the commute. what's going on as drivers get ready to head out? well, highway 85 is reopening. that's better news. those of you who miss the crash had all lanes northbound blocked around blossom hill. they have opened, the speeds are recovering after the early quick slowdown. the rest of the south bay and the rest of the bay looks really good right now, a smooth drive. i will take you to san francisco where the mcarthur tunnel going through the presidio highway 1 still working on the southbound side. you may get a reroute. a note for folks heading from the golden gate bridge into the city, laura. back to you. all right, thank you very much. there's an alert in the south bay this morning, state and county health leaders are keeping a very close eye on morgan hill because there's been a coronavirus outbreak at a fish

packing company. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is there live this morning and this was actually brought to light by a family worker that was speaking out. kris? >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, laura. we're talking about a cluster of almost 40 cases within one work place here in morgan hill and we know that testing is going to continue today because the whole body of the workforce was tested and some folks came back negative but they could be just asymptomatic. lusamerica foods is a locally owned business with a 65,000-square-foot fish processing and distribution facility. the outbreak first came to light when the wife of an employee was hospitalized with covid-19. the girlfriend of a driver at lusamerica foods told us that her boyfriend was worried about continuing to work there after that but was afraid he would lose his job if he spoke up. >> they should shut down their

company, test everybody. he had no symptoms. he was out in the public. was always told he would be fine, just to continue wearing a mask and do the proper precautions. >> the county set up testing in collaboration with the company, and over the course of a day tested everyone there and identified 38 more people who were positive from the company. >> reporter: company officials released a statement saying they are committed to providing a safe work environment and all employees at the facility have been tested. the majority are asymptomatic and those who tested negative will be retested. that will happen today. the company says as employees arrive for work which starts at 8:00 this morning their temperatures are checked and all common areas are now shut down so no access to the cafeteria

"today in the bay's" bob redell live for us. bob, the governor talked about a lot of things including those barber shops and salons reopening. >> reporter: correct, marcus. governor gavin newsom in an ex chewsi clusive interview was encouraging for phase three of the reopening. here in the bay area only three counties are moving in that phase, napa, solano and sonoma. they've indicated they are ready to enter phase three by allowing barber shops and hair salons to reopen based on guidance from their county's health departments. nail salons, it should be noted, are still not included.

in this morning's exclusive interview on the "today" show governor newsom he can inspects child care and summer camps to reopen soon with modifications. this is a necessity for parents who need to go back to work during this historic downturn. governor newsom believes it's possible california could see a v-shaped recovery, one in which we come back as quickly as we went down. >> i see it happening if public health is our primary focus. i don't see it happening if we look at public health as an annoyance or a nuisance that somehow gets in the way of our economic growth. we're a consumer based economy, as demand increases we'll see this economy begin to rev back up, but that won't increase until people feel confident and safe going back out and doing their activities that we're doing prior to covid-19. >> reporter: you can watch the entire interview with governor gavin newsom at 7:00 on the

moon bay and then as we go into this afternoon we talked about those triple digits. another day with heat advisories and the inland east bay will see the hottest temperatures up to 103 degrees in antioch today. napa reaches 100 degrees and we'll be very close in san jose as we could once again see our temperatures remaining very hot for today as well as tomorrow. i'll talk about a cooldown in the weekend forecast. mike has a look at the morning commute and how is it looking for anyone about to head out the door? it was really busy but true to form about 6:15 things started to calm down. green sensors for pretty much all the freeways. slowing out of the altamont. we'll talk about the new normal and will revisit what governor gavin newsom, our governor, talked about in the covid update yesterday. bob talked about haircuts and hair salons as did the governor. then there was a lot of buzz talking about, well, his own

haircut given by his kids. he mentioned they didn't care for his growing mullet. on twitter some liked it. kellie lynn liked the side flips and said the mullet was going for you and followed it with three positive emojis. and if i might add jake gyllenhaal he, too, is rocking that quarantine grow featured here in "the wall street journal" magazine. #newmullet. you know how that goes. while we shelter at home we often grow our hair to shelter our neck. as the intense heat continues this week, health experts are warning us parents how to keep our kids safe with all the windows open. president trump in a huge fight with twitter, so big we've broken it into two segments. we'll bring you the second coming up. let's bring you out to the new york stock exchange where it's the second day of a rally and the dow well above 25,000.

plus, the nhl locked and loaded for a comeback. there's some bad news for shark fans. our season is officially on ice. and... let's get started. (music fades in) hey! -hi! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

right now at 6:44 we are under a microclimate weather alert and we are starting out this morning in the south bay with those temperatures feeling warm for us as we get the day started.

we're back to the same numbers we had yesterday. we'll talk more about a weekend cooldown and even a chance of rain coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you, kari. new overnight firefighters in san jose are monitoring a house fire that first started late last night and then flared up again about 3:00 a.m. this is video from when that fire raging a little before midnight. it briefly threatened nearby homes on crater lean near piedmont hills high school. all five people inside made it out safely. the garage took the brunt of the damage. at least three cars were fully engulfed. this was a scare where a falling tree branch struck five people including a 2-year-old. it happened in washington square park where a witness posted this video. all, however, escaped serious injury. the president is making angry and inaccurate new claims against twitter this morning.

>> and scott mcgrew, twitter taking several steps that upset the president. yes, good morning. the first was to issue an apology for a tweet that said joe scarborough was involved in the accidental death of a staffer 19 years ago. the other thing that's happening with twitter is false claims the president is making about the upcoming election and mail-in ballots. take a look at what twitter has done. a link takes to you a compilation of stories from cnn, "the washington post" and nbc setting the record straight. a quick fact check myself. california is sending ballots to registered voters and five other

states do the same thing. remember president trump claimed there were even a blue ribbon panel to look into the alleged millions of in-person fraudulent votes before it founded any evidence of that. the president claims twitter is now interfering with the 2020 presidential election and it's stifling his free speech which he says he will not allow to happen. it prohibits the government from stepping on your free speech. nonetheless he is calling for regulation of silicon valley companies. the white house's new press secretary was asked about president trump's criticism of

joe biden wearing a facemask. the president said he that you it was strange biden doesn't wear a mask inside his house with his wife but does wear it in public. the reporter said, hold on, isn't that what you're supposed to do? >> it is a bit peculiar, though, that in a basement right next to his wife he's not wearing a mask but is wearing one outdoors when he's socially distanced. he wore this mask in private at a ford facility and is open to it if the circumstance mandates it. >> isn't the guidance to wear a mask when you're outside, though? >> the guidance is it's recommended but not required. >> we're following everything that's happening on twitter and, boy, there is a lot happening. follow me there @scottmcgrew. >> scott, thank you. the oakland a's are feeling the squeeze from no baseball. they've become the first to stop paying minor league players as of june 1st.
