5:00 am
people are tired of hearing from fauci and all these idiots. >> president trump lashing out claiming americans are over covid, but are voters buying it? a live report next on the campaign. battling covid in california. we are live with how the golden state is seeing sharp spikes in the state. the fire danger continues. we're tracking areas that are at risk and could face power shutoffs today as "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington.
5:01 am
mike is keeping his eye on the commute. first, meteorologist kari hall and the beautiful shot behind you. what's that, kari? well, just a fake background of san jose. let's talk about what's going on for the bay area for today. now we will have some hot weather in the valleys and also the north bay wind gusts will be pretty high today. we're worried about the high fire danger as well for today and the next several days as our winds could pick up. hotter as we take a look at our high temperatures for this afternoon. 83 today in palo alto. mike, what's the update on the commute? i have real monitors behind me with real speed sensors showing you actually changes for oakland. let's take that up. we'll zoom in to the nimitz. the northbound side got the all clear saying they are clear. the southbound side the last two minutes have speeds back to the green level. that construction is cleared
5:02 am
heading to 23rd away from the bay bridge. in a couple minutes we'll show you what things are like and why there's a warning for the golden gate. back to you. >> thank you, mike. decision 2020 and shut down the microphones. that is the new rule for thursday's presidential debate. this is to prevent the constant interruptions in the last presidential debate. tracie potts is live with more reaction this morning from the president's team. tracie? >> reporter: exactly, marcus. good morning. good morning, everyone. we have not heard from the biden team but we have heard from the trump team and the president himself on shutting down these microphones at thursday's debate. the president says he'll show up but he doesn't like it. to prevent a repeat of this -- >> the radical left -- >> will you shut up, man. >> reporter: the presidential debate commission announced they will mute the opponent's microphone during each candidate's two-minute response at thursday's debate.
5:03 am
the trump campaign calls the commission biased, changing the rules to provide advantage to their favorite candidate. and they're disputing the topics. >> we're going to win the state of arizona. >> reporter: polls open in 37 states. president trump reportedly wants to boost his rally to five a day telling campaign workers -- >> people are tired of covid. i have the biggest rallies i've ever had and we have covid. people are saying, whatever. just leave us alone. they're tired of it. >> reporter: the democrats' vice presidential nominee senator kamala harris slamming the president in florida for not listening to scientists. >> deny facts, deny science, and lie to the american people. so we know we need a change, and a change is coming. >> reporter: democratic nominee joe biden taking a break before the debate is warning his team against being complacent.
5:04 am
polls show him ahead by double digits, but tighter in swing states. coronavirus continues to dominate the campaign. >> this ain't no joke. it's killing people. all you have to do is look at the numbers. >> reporter: the virus surging in 38 states with cases up 10% in the last two weeks. tracie potts, nbc news. and the final debate is being held at belmont university in nashville. nbc's kristen welker is moderating. you can watch it here on nbc bay area. our coverage begins thursday at 5:30. well, this tuesday morning a live look at capitol hill for you where according to house speaker nancy pelosi progress is being made before today's deadline to reach a deal on a new pandemic economic stimulus package. they negotiated for nearly an hour yesterday. the session was called productive by both sides and they're set to meet again today.
5:05 am
but time is running out for congress and the white house to deliver aid to americans before the election. in california there are now more than 880,000 confirmed covid cases. across the world more than 40 million people have been infected with covid-19. let's go to "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live in san mateo where they have drive-through testing under way there today. >> reporter: they're going to expand it to test children who are 5 years old and older. this is the first time here in san mateo county and it will happen here at the event center. you do have to have an appointment. if you come with your child 5 and ole der, you will be turned away if you don't have an appointment. that's one story this morning. also, i've had a couple of covid tests myself. the kids are not going to like
5:06 am
it but testing is such an important test of the reopening. other states are seeing covid surges and second and third waves of coronavirus. california's slow and steady reopening plan is working despite the fact that a lot of us feel pretty cooped up. better news here in the bay area is the bay area has the lowest coronavirus risk of any major metropolitan center in the state according to "the mercury news." the dark spot here in the bay area, though, is sonoma county where covid is still spreading a lot faster than we'd like to see. the county is considering spending $16 million on a public health strategy and provide incentive for folks to get tested. they know if they're positive they will have to stay home from work or school. also a stipend for those who test positive and feel they don't have anywhere to go because they condition miss work. those are conversations
5:07 am
happening in sonoma county this morning. the transmission rate in sonoma is much higher than what the state allows for reopening so the leaders in the county are struggling to make sure they bring the numbers down as quickly as possible. the big story in san mateo county, now available for children 5 years and older in a drive-through setting but, again, you have to have an appointment. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> okay. all that information just on the heels of a ucsf pediatric professor saying now is a good time to reopen bay area schools. one of the reasons is the low virus transmission rate in alameda and santa clara counties holding below 2%. getting back to in-person learning is good for economic and mental health.
5:08 am
in new york there are no signs of outbreaks related to schools reopening. >> we can't sacrifice teachers and families but it's so important for kids and we have this opportunity with low numbers to do that. >> she says if indoor dining is reopening, schools could, too. but it must include masking, distancing and ventilated classrooms. happening today san francisco supervisors look at making juneteenth a city holiday. the resolution would declare june 19th to be observed as a holiday to honor the black community and the end of slavery. if passed it would encourage all businesses to either close on june 19th or pay workers overtime. santa clara county voted to make it the county's 13th paid holiday. it was the first in california to do so. we've been watching and listening as change happens. jessica aguirre and i host a conversation called "race in america" and you can watch all of our previous specials on our
5:09 am
website. go to nbcbayarea.com/raceinamerica. 5:08. time to check in with meteorologist kari hall. she has a look at our forecast. what is this, a lesson on masks? right. so i'm just helping you get ready for the day and people who work outside need more than one mask. i think today because it's going to be so hot, it's a two to three mask kind of day. you might sweat through one and you don't want to be stuck with just that one with temperatures reaching into the upper 80s in the valleys today. as you get ready for the day we're going to have temperatures once again warming up. a lot of sunshine for the afternoon with concord today reaching up to 89 degrees. so we'll talk about what else is ahead in the forecast with a cooldown coming up. mike, how is it looking right now for the drive? kari, you said two to three masks but not at the same time. that's for switching off one after the other. the roadways, folks are
5:10 am
switching around for their construction crews and fremont shows a little bit of slowing. crews are clearing, around vargas, circling the slowdown we saw around spencer for 101 north of the golden gate bridge. looks like that cleared along with the crew. it's not clear as long as the view. you knew about the warning but i'll do them a favor. back to you. 5:10. ready to live stream. next, apple launching an all new video service. why many are comparing it to the old school version of mtv. you might eat outside right now but probably not as much this winter. economists are trying to figure out how many jobs might be lost. plus, gone but never forgotten. an all new look at the late boseman's final role on the big
5:11 am
screen. in business you have to be able to shift-pivot-adapt.

5:14 am
looking over here to the roadways where things are improving, that does mean slowing as crews start to clear. 680, we'll track the changes coming up. good morning. a very happy wednesday to you. kari says it will be warm today but that will not last forever. economists looking over the predictions for what will happen when colder weather sets in. one economist says he he can inspects more than 33,000 people working in the san francisco bay area in hospitality and retail will lose their jobs as fewer customers show up. he's one of many economists calling for more stimulus to help save the economy. >> this pandemic has really galvanized economists around the idea of government spend iing particularly now. we don't want to hold it against
5:15 am
businesses that they didn't have cash set aside for a global pandemic. it's the risk governments are set up to intervene in. to allow businesses. maybe it's not the best to be indoors close together. >> he says most stores can't allow more than a few people inside at a time and people may not be willing to stand outside in winter months. as for the stimulus no sign of it yet. wall street closing slightly lower. the santa based company selling off for $9 million. about three years ago fox con which makes apple iphones promised it would build a huge factory in wisconsin, it was one of the very first to say it would move manufacturing to the united states in exchange for big tax cuts. wisconsin says it may not give those concessions because
5:16 am
foxconn didn't build the factory it promised and is not employing as many people called for in the original deal. nowhere near it. a big oil company took the unusual step to clarify something president trump said while campaigning in arizona. he said he could call anyone on wall street and ask for tens of millions of dollars in donations and that the ceos would say, yes, sir. and he used exxon as an example of a company he could tap for funds theoretically. exxon took the unusual step of making sure americans understood that was purely theoretical. just so we're clear, exxon says, it never happened. the president was trying to make the point he could ask for corporations' donations but that he would be beholden to them. i think he was also defending the fact he's significantly behind as far as fund-raising goes. 5:15 this morning and apple launching a new music video streaming service called apple
5:17 am
music tv. the free service is part of an apple tv app. some say it reminds of mtv back when they first started and only played music videos. remember that? one upcoming event is being planned. it's a day dedicated to playing bruce springsteen videos. >> fans of the boss will be happy. a surprise announcement from actor jeff bridges. he's been diagnosed with lymphoma. bridges may be best known for his role . he shared the news on twitter. writing in part, quote, although it's a serious disease, i feel fortunate that i have had a grit team of doctors and the prognosis is good. bridges did provide -- he probably did not provide any other details on his diagnosis. very sad, though. he's a great actor. >> absolutely. you know what, something else is trending this morning,
5:18 am
the first trailer for boseman's final film. >> i know what i'm doing. i don't care. >> "the black panther" star died in august. the final role on the upcoming netflix film alongside viola davis based on the 1982 broadway play. boseman plays the horn player. this performance is already generating oscar buzz. what a talent. it will be interesting to see what happens. >> some of his last great work and what he was dealing with. kari hall tracking tropical storm epsilon.
5:19 am
>> we are already way down in the greek alphabet. this will not affect a lot of land. we're expecting the system to move very close to bermuda, strengthen to a hurricane and weaken once again as it stays out over the ocean. we're concerned about a high fire danger. winds could gust up to 40 miles an hour and sustained winds at 10 to 20 miles an hour along with that very low humidity. the diablo range to the santa cruz mountains we'll have high fire danger with a fire weather watch going into effect. this will be from tomorrow night through friday morning and once we get closer to the next wind event, some gusty winds and that's coming along with some of the very low humidity.
5:20 am
15 to 20 miles an hour, enough for any fires that do start to spread rapidly and the winds are gusting even higher as you go up in elevation. hot temperatures in the upper 80s. we move off to the end of the week. quite windy but then look at the weekend. it's going to be a nice weekend with highs inland in the low to mid-70s and for san francisco temperatures that will go from the 70s back as the fog returns this weekend. how is it looking as folks get ready to head out the door? >> looks like folks are just getting ready to go and not already on the roads. the changes that i've seen over here look on the right side. overall the green is dominating.
