mid and upper 90s in inland extending payroll taxes. nbc bay area political analyst areas. let's talk about first the fog. larry gerston is here to assess waking up to that in outer the president's actions and look sunset and around the coastline ahead to future steps. if through half moon bay, santa cruz seeing some fog. what do you make of those moves? san jose, 62 degrees right now. clear skies. great conditions there. >> they're interesting. give the president some credit and your hour by hour outlook. he tried to get this going. now i want to show you through you have to give him credit for about 10:30 because up until that. what he did and whether it works 10:30 we're still going to be pretty cool and comfortable, but are two different stories, two different questions. notice what happens to those inland temperatures during the he wants to find ways to get 70s around 10:30. the valleys are going to warm people some money, so he offered really quickly by about 2:00, $400. of the $400, $100 has to come from the state. that's dead on arrival. 3:00. that's dead on arrival because there's no way a president's 90 in san really hot executive order can require a state to use funds, not that the states have any funds to begin afternoon. so i'll go more into detail on with because, in fact, they that and your seven-day forecast coming up in a few minutes. don't. most states are break because they've been going without cierra? look forward to hearing from you. we begin with an early morning taxpayer funds because people haven't been working. surprise at the santa clara that's a big problem for the president in terms of getting county jail after a car crashed

into the front gates. this happened just before 4:30 the states to cooperate. this morning at the jail on west there are other issues, too. heading street in san jose. we talk about the fact that the reports say the suspect got out state and local governments of the car and started being broke need help. threatening police. it was shut down from first the democrats in the house street to guadeloupe parkway offered $900 billion for state until 5:00 a.m. when officers and local governments. were able to take the man into custody. president trump stepping in to the republican-led senate bring relief to millions out of offered only $150 billion. there's a huge -- $200 billion, work, enhanced unemployment excuse me -- there's a huge gap benefits, one executive orders. between the two. that hasn't been addressed by the president or anybody else. we go beyond that, testing, marianne favro has the details. which is so critical. >> reporter: president trump signed four executive orders democrats offered almost $400 saturday, less than 24 hours billion. the republicans offered about after he warned lawmakers he $150 billion. another huge gap. we see two things happening couldn't come up with a deal. here, cierra. the orders will defer payroll on the one hand the president is taxes through the end of the going places nobody else did, year for people making less than here i'm referring to the $100,000 a year and extend the payroll tax being deferred. much-debated enhanced on the other hand the president unemployment benefits. not going to places where something many americans were congress is fighting.

relying on. >> for this reason i'm taking it's a bit troubling. >> is there any problem with the action to provide additional or president's executive orders? an additional $400 per week in >> the biggest problem of all is expanded benefits. the constitutionality. $400. >> reporter: the previous if he wants to spend money it unemployment boost was $600 a looks like he wants to take it from fema. week, but some feel the new reduced pay may not be enough to and then giving it to the people help people in the bay area who who are unemployed. are out of work. that's quite a leap. >> i'm glad he's stepping in. if you remember the supreme court gave the president the i know we're having trouble agreeing in congress, but i power to move money in the think he should have kept it at defense department from one $600 instead of reducing it category, building the wall, but especially with the cost of that was all internal. living out here is a lot higher than the rest of the country. i guarantee you that goes to the people need that money court and one of the big issues especially in these times. >> reporter: the orders will will be whether the president protect renters from being has the right to do this. evicted and suspend payments on when you talk to evictions, student loans through the end of the year. student loan guarantees, which the divide in washington he promises to protect in terms continues. house speaker nancy pelosi and senate democratic leader chuck of repaying loans until next schumer say the orders are not enough and issued a joint statement saying these policy year. we don't know if the president can do much about that either. announcements provide little his intentions may be fine. real help to families.

for instance, not only does the but to be able to do that, to president's announcement not get those agencies to do that, actually extend the eviction to have the ability, are moratorium, he provides no questions we just don't have the answers to. assistance to help pay the rent which will only lead desperate families to watch their debt bottom line here when you talk about what the president wants pile higher. to do, number one, he hasn't and some question whether the president's executive orders are dealt with the issues, the primary issues that the two legal. while the courts will likely sort it out nbc bay area's negotiating sides have dealt political analyst larry gerston with. number two he wants to go ahead says the president's actions may and defer taxes on people who prompt another change. >> at a minimum i think he's are working already. that doesn't make a lot of sense. thrown down the gauntlet and he's basically said to congress, number three, he's hoping the if you can't work it out, i'm states will chip in for unemployment when they don't going to work it out. have any money. and so perhaps in that respect, big issues that have not been he will incite them to move on addressed or perhaps wrongly addressed. and try to get a deal next week. >> what happens next in the >> reporter: in san jose, political chess match? marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >> come monday morning, cierra, all the cameras will be on the president trump's eviction district court in washington, moratorium is not the only one finding support. d.c., because i can guarantee tomorrow the president of the santa clara county board of you the various parties will be supervisors will hold a joint marching in to see a district news conference with business leaders calling for an extension court judge asking that judge to of the eviction moratorium until declare the president's actions

the end of september. unconstitutional or at a minimum some of those say another get some s of injunction that problem is landlords ignoring the moratorium and demanding rent anyway. prevents the president from the full board of supervisors doing what he wants to do. will take up the issue at its that could lead to a court fight tuesday meeting. the action in washington comes as a number of u.s. cases that goes on for months. crosses 5 million, a quarter of what the president may have done is say to congress, hey, you're the cases worldwide. not doing anything -- i know he california still leading the blames the democrats -- you're country in cases with more than not doing anything, so i'm going to do it for you. 553,000. the numbers are continuing to climb. neither the house nor the senate yesterday alone california would like the idea of the reported 7,300 new infections. president taking their health officials say the number is likely due to a glitch in the appropriations powers, by far the most important thing state reporting system. congress can do, in article 1 of now taking a closer look at the the constitution, congress has bay area since the beginning of the right to appropriate. the outbreak there have been 58,000 confirmed cases. santa clara county reported 221 neither the republicans nor the democrats, the senate nor the new cases. the total there nearing 12,000 house wants to see the president have that control. all told. san mateo county added 132 he may be driving these two together, and it wouldn't surprise me if we see some sort sending their total number to over 6,000. sonoma county is facing of framework for an agreement escalating numbers of cases and within the next week.

is stepping up efforts to get >> the president held friday and everyone to follow those safety saturday's press conferences at guidelines. in fact, there is a complaint his private golf club with line where people can report guests in the back of the room violations. in just the first few d sometimes booing the press. was that appropriate? >> you know, this president has here is "today had difficulty separating his role as commander in chief from downtown santa rosa alive on a saturday night. nearly every diner and shopper his role as a candidate. wearing a face covering as they you may recall that there are venture out during the pandemic. other instances he's had people we couldn't find a single come down to mar-a-lago for unmasked worker in any official state business. restaurant or shop. >> if you're an employer and you've seen him at bedminster dealing with people that should call this an officiale' talking be your own health concern to wear one. >> reporter: a complaint line opened to report violations of accepting the republican county and state covid-19 safety nomination from the white house. protocols. and in the first two days the lines have been lit up with there's a difference between reports of possible violations. your role as president and your >> and i think between the time role as a candidate. this president has a hard time understanding that difference. that the phone line went active at 3:00 on thursday and last it may be not illegal. night we had 189 calls, reports, it may be unethical.

for many it will look to be in and emails, and the poor taste. >> thanks, larry. had another 59. so all told about 250 in the we'll have a final look at weather after this break. first two days. >> reporter: a lack of face coverings the number one complaint mostly made by customers, according to county spokesman paul gullikson, but the problems in sonoma county may not be widespread overalm instead the reports could involve just a handful of businesses not complying. >> i've noticed that it's been compliant, at least where i've been to. >> we just felt it was time. >> reporter: gullikson says 95% of the public and businesses are doing their part. >> they're wearing their facemasks, practicing social distancing as best they can. we're dealing with the last 5% of businesses that are thumbing their nose at some of the protocols. >> reporter: the county worries that could cause hospitalizations if they don't comply. so it's imposing fines to get them in line. $100 per individual and up to

$10,000 for repeat business offenders. so far the county has not issued any fines or citations but its spokesman says those who continue to defy the public health orders will receive one. in santa rosa, thom jensen nbc bay area news. streets across the bay area have been closed to vehicles to allow restaurants to have more room for outside dining. yesterday in livermore they did the opposite, reopening downtown streets to traffic. the city says most businesses felt the street closures were hurting business because of a lack of parking among other reasons. the city is now finding peope f for not wearing a mask. first-time offenders could face $100 fine. uc students and staff have one more thing to worry about before school starts, that's to get a flu shot. uc requires vaccinations against measles, tetanus and the chicken pox. its policy is to reduce the burden on its health leaders who are already fighting covid-19.

that showcase that is marine layer and then the sunshine on top using our weather underground cameras. you can see just how beautiful the mountains look. in san francisco waking up to that fog again. hey, at least now we can see the buildings behind it. earlier this morning we couldn't. mostly clear conditions. temperatures in the 60s right now in san jose. i want to take a look at the hour by hour outlook when it comes to the clouds around the coast. yesterday some of the high clouds. well, we got those clouds rolling in because of convection and today we're going to see a great day. tonight into tomorrow you'll notice that as well and hazy sunshine inland. we're are going to get some cooling. a closer look at your forecast for today. san jose 90 degrees. it will be hotter than yesterday

by a few degrees and noticeable in morgan hill, 95. gilroy, 92. east san jose, 93 degrees. east bay is breezy with winds. concord, 95. walnut creek, 94. certainly feeling the warm-up. your best bet is the peninsula or the coast to get away from the heat. redwood city, 87. san francisco will once again be in the upper 60s throughout the afternoon once weep get some of the fog, we'll see the sun shining through. ukiah and clear lake, triple digit heat. welcome back. we bring in chuck todd, nbc news the long-range outlook, we have political director and the 60s and 70s for the coast, that moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. thank you for joining us this hot temperatures, high pressure over the area. heading into tuesday and executive orders on reduced oth wednesday we have a little bit of cooling. we might even catch some

changes, how likely are these orders to survive court possible drizzle and heading into next week this is really challenges? and what impact are they likely looking out ahead we are to make on the congressional tracking mid-level moisture and this boost will come to us from negotiations? >> well, look, we'll see which the south and that will increase ones get challenged in court. the cloud cover and we'll see how that shapes out heading into i still view yesterday as more of a public relations stunt, next week. more as a negotiating ploy again, turning breezy tonight into tomorrow. because it certainly appears -- temperatures cool off into the i have both congressional 80s and san francisco remains in leaders and administration folks on the show today, and both seem the 60s heading into the to say they have to get back to workweek as well. a closer look at your dog the negotiating table. they clearly want to keep walking forecast. talking because no matter what the president did, it is still comfortable. cloud cover starts to make its exit by 11:00 a.m. not enough, whether you believe the 90s, remember it's going to the price should be a trillion or $3 trillion. be hot in inland areas. what he did didn't even hit take your pups out on in the that. so there is agreement that they early morning. thank you so much for making have to come to some sort of us a part of your morning. compromise agreement. more local news at 4:30, 6:00 if they don't it will be and 11:00 and all day on economically a bigger problem in nbcbayarea.com. just a month. have a great morning. politics. so i do think you're going to see more talk before there is a lot of political heat right now.

one wonders if there is one person mentioned on the show too much public negotiating that they need to take a step back and have private negotiating. even if the president can go through with his orders it's not clear the $400 will get to people. not every state has the ability to front the $100 in order to get the additional $300 from the trump administration. there's a lot of, even if they are deemed legal, questions about whether this will get to people in time to make an impact. >> and switching gears to the election last week presidential candidate joe biden seemed to imply that all black voters are alike as he worked to explain the differences between hispanic americans. how difficult is it biden might lose some of that black support which has been vital to his coalition? >> well, look, it's not the first time that -- i will say this. when any candidate that speaks

like a political demographer or does punditry finds trouble. there may be something he was trying to say there when he was trying to talk about there's more ideological diversity in the hispanic community in south florida versus southern california. he was trying to get at that. it was, to be kind and artful, some people took it insulting and i think he has to be careful there. i think there's a lot more younger african-americans who don't like the look that somehow democratic leaders just take the vote for granted a bit. so i do think he has to be careful there and it may, you know, it may mean there's even more pressure on him to have a woman of color as his running mate. >> all right. thank you so much for joining us, chuck. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he'll have exclusive interviews with senator dick durbin.

tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll continue to look at the possible political fallout from president trump's executive order. another tech company has its >> the situation is dire. eyes on tiktok. >> the u.s. reaches 5 million this time it's twitter. confirmed covid cases. reports say the san francisco >> come into my icu. company is interested in acquiring tiktok's u.s. come watch. operations. you may remember microsoft has also been in talks with tiktok's patients and families are parent company bytedance, based crushed. >> that say huge toll to take in china. every day knowing that you're all of this comes after president trump signed an executive order banning u.s. the only person and may be the transactions with bytedance. last person that speaks to them. >> while president trump continues to deny the tragedy they have 45 days to get a deal he's overseeing. >> it will go away. done with an american company. things go away. marking milestones is a lot absolutely. no question in my mind it will different recently. go away. a san francisco company is trying to celebrate its milestone but its future remains uncertain. the golden gate fortune cookie company in chinatown is

celebrating its 58th anniversary. it's not all fun. the owner of the store says he is struggling to keep his business afloat. >> this year is a very special year. >> the owner added that he hoped the celebration was able to bring some joy to his customers and co-workers. a tracy casino is gambling on its future by moving things outdoors. stars casino was able to bring the card employees back. card tables are set up on the patio and social distancing is in effect. it includes tents for shade but allows, as you can see, for a lot of airflow. staff and guests are excited about the returning game. most casinos and card rooms have been closed for weeks now and it's not clear how many have been able to move their

operations outdoors. a lot of things had to be postponed during the pandemic but we're glad we're able to report the next story. it's the annual march of the penguins at san francisco zoo. they're so precious. they were hatched in may and learned how to swim, eat whole fish and socialize with their caretake caretakers. only a limited number of guests were allowed in. what a cool sight there. it's now time to check in with vianey arana for a look at your microclimate forecast. i know those penguins are pretty cold but it's been pretty warm on this side of the zoo. >> the penguins would not like it out here now. it will be in the 90s today. can you imagine? that's way too hot for me, for most folks. hopefully everyone has ac, right? that's sort of the range of temperatures that we're going to be seeing n. san jose it's

comfortable in the 60s. we do have overall clear skies inland but around the coast that's a different story. walnut creek 60 degrees. let me take you over to san francisco because you can see the fog there. 55 degrees right now. so we do have that marine layer and it is going to stick around for the first half of our day much like yesterday and then once that starts to sort of peel back we'll see the sunshine through and it's going to be another lovely day in san francisco. the good news for those who suffer from allergies, i, myself, do at times and i know others who do. top allergens grasses, but overall the pollen report remains low from tree to grass to weeds to mold. this will depend on where you're going to be headed, if you're up in the mountains viking, you have a higher chance of getting pollen from the surrounding plants. take that medication to go just in case. if you're going to be on a hike or outside. hour by hour temperatures, i want to take you through this trend because notice the time bar right at the top where it says sunday and 10:30, this is

me pushing forward the time line where our temperatures will be. valleys will warm very quickly. the coastal clouds will remain and notice how much cooler it is in san francisco and half moon bay in the 60s. in san jose and cupertino we'll be in the 70s. and then look what happens between, i would say, 12:00 and 3:00. that's usually the peak heat of the day, the hottest temperatures, by 3:00 temps will be in the 90s down through the south bay. but look where it remains in the 60s, san francisco still at about 69 degrees. meanwhile areas like concord will be at 95. fairfield, 93. livermore, 95. up through santa rosa, 86 degrees. those are those areas where you might want to limit the outdoor activity. take plenty of water on an early morning hike. let's talk about what will happen in the next couple of days. we have our summer microclimates unfolding right now, 80s and 90s inland. looking ahead towards tuesday

and wednesday look whamt happen. the valleys get a cooldown thanks to nearby moisture, mid-lem the south will make its way through, heading to see a cooldn in our temperatures but also as we track this moisture that could mean some drizzle for us here locally heading into wednesday and thursday. but the main thing is the sea breeze will kick up tonight. so it's going to be a breezy overnight, i would say overnight into early monday morning as far as your temperatures go 60s will remain in san francisco and, again, p.m. breezy heading into tomorrow. cierra? >> sounds good, thank you. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up -- >> reporter: they're connecting thousands of kids via video and they're having fun while learning. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.we are keeping up in the classroom and wan the brainchild of some berkeley business students. that's next.

boredom. >> reporter: berkeley students dreamed up a way to match bored middle and high schoolers and unite them to discuss important subjects and present sessions so both ends of the webcam are energized such as -- the minecraft class. >> the full title is minecraft interaction. it's not just like playing, it's learning, okay, how can you apply this really fun program to learning about team building and how to constructed your own buildings and dig a little deeper there. >> reporter: the brainchild was a mere flash of genius in the spring. by summer they'd already connected 150 volunteer mon terse, hosts and teachers, to 2,200 computer campers who might not otherwise ever interact with elite college students. >> we kind of aim to provide

students that opportunity to connect with these kids who are at incredible colleges and ask them questions and learn from them firsthand. >> reporter: with so much success so fast, we asked them to share other secrets. their four-minute rule is genius, add something engaging every four minutes. >> by adding little activities every four minutes into your videoconferencing you can build a lot of engagement and keep people looking at their screen. an icebreaker, a poll, a breakout room, something to get people thinking and clicking a button. >> reporter: brilliant. remember that, you video hosts, for your next videoconference. something interesting every four minutes. so what's next for connect-in place? potentially something permanent. they're looking ahead to fall and beyond and perhaps will have an announcement soon. if you would like to connect, head to their website. we put a link on our website

"today in the bay's" marianne favro has the details. >> reporter: president trump signed four executive orders saturday, less than 24 hours after he warned lawmakers he would move forward if they couldn't come up with a deal. the orders will defer payroll taxes through the end of the year for people making less than $100,000 a year and extend the much-debated enhanced unemployment benefits. something many americans were relying on. >> for this reason i'm taking action to provide an additional or an extra $400 per week in

expanded benefits, $400. >> reporter: the previous unemployment boost was $600 a week but some feel the new reduced pay may not be enough to help people in the bay area who were out of work. >> i'm glad he's stepping in. i know we're having trouble agreeing in congress, but i think he should have kept it at $600 instead of reducing it especially with the cost of living out here higher than the rest of the country. the people need that money especially in these times. >> reporter: the orders will protect renters from being evicted and suspend payments on student loans through the end of the year. but the divide in washington continues. house speaker nancy pelosi and senate democratic leader chuck schumer say the orders are not enough and issued a joint statement saying these policy announcements provide little real help to families, for instance, not only does the president's announcement not actually extend the eviction

moratorium, he provides no assistance to help pay the rent which will leave desperate families to watch their debt pile higher and some question whether the executive orders are legal. while the courts will likely sort it out, nbc bay area's political analyst larry gerston says the president's actions may prompt another change. >> at a minimum i think he's thrown down the gauntlet and has basically said to congress if you can't work it out, i'm going to work it out. and so perhaps in that respect he will incite them to move on and try to get a deal next week. >> reporter: in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. president viction moratorium is not the only one finding support. the president of the santa clara county board of supervisors will hold a joint news conference with business owners calling for an extension of the eviction moratorium until the end of september. some of those affected say

landlords ignoring the moratorium and demanding rent anyway. they will take up the issue in its tuesday meeting. the number of u.s. cases crossed 5 million. that accounts for roughly a quarter of the cases worldwide. california is still leading the country in cases with more than 553,000. and numbers continuing to climb. yesterday alone california reported 7,300 new infections. health officials say the number is likely higher due to a glitch in the state reporting system. now taking a closer look in the bay area since the beginning of the outbreak there have been 58,000 confirmed cases. santa clara county reported 221 new cases. the total there nearing 12,000. san mateo added 132 sending their total number of cases to over 6,000. diy, berkeley is piloting a covid-19 testing kiosk that ensures accurate test results in

24 to 48 hours. could it be the future of covid testing? more from "today in the bay." >> you have inside of your mout for 20 seconds. >> reporter: it is pop-up self-testing site on san pablo avenue, the actual process of self-te self-testing takes about 20 second. i took the test myself to see how exactly the self-testing site would work. everything is done by the person getting tested so that really ensures less exposure. the comfort and ease are some of the reasons jesse has brought the testing >> we hope to expand this to other parts of our city and make sure communities that are higher risk of contracting covid-19, such as our black and latinx

communes. >> reporter: the mayor tested himself and he cexpects the res to be returned in 24 to 48 hours. the ceo fred turner says his ability to have a one to two day turnaround is essential to fighting the virus and ensures the lab's accuracy. >> we built the lab from the ground up so we're not stuck in any of the existing infrastructure. we're doing about 60,000 to 70,000 tests a day right now. >> reporter: the biggest site is dodger stadium where they test around 6,000eo will run from today to august 14th. you don't have to be a berkeley resident to get tested. those with or without covid symptoms and those with or without health insurance are eligible.
