reason. trump is charged under georgia's rico act. a racketeering and corruption law that's been used in the past to take down mob bosses. >> the indictment includes 41 felony counts and is 97 pages long. >> reporter: the indictment names the former president and 18 others, including former trump attorney rudy giuliani and former white house chief of staff mark meadows. >> the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn georgia's presidential election result. >> reporter: trump himself is charged with 12 counts, including racketeering, soliciting a public official, making false statements, and conspiracy. >> donald trump is front and center exactly where he wants to be. >> reporter: sonoma state political science professor david mcewen points out less than ten days out from the gop

debate in wisconsin, trump is grabbing all the headlines as he heads into his latest legal challenge. >> donald trump will be running that circus while he leads substantially away from governor desantis and all the other folks that are running to become the republican nominee. the indictments have continued to buoy him. >> reporter: ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, the trump campaign called the indictment itself election interference. trump remained defiant while campaigning in iowa this weekend. >> we did nothing wrong. >> reporter: meanwhile, mcewen says the names not mentioned in the indictment could be just as significant as those that are. >> that means there are cooperating forecasts that are going to or turned against the boss. >> he adds there are no laws on the books to prevent trump from running his campaign or even winning back the white house from behind bars if he's convicted on any of the criminal counts he's facing. the 12 charges tacked on today

and love the things you sell, but we don't want to step foot in your city. that's just an astonishing statement. you'll continue to see this drain of commerce and erosion in hotel occupancy, cancellations of conferences, and you're in this loop. until you change it, so it's a livable, safe, accessible city, you will not correct it. >> chachas says he's gotten nothing but positive feedback to his letter. a growing number of small businesses in the city are also talking about closing up shop. the owner of kung food and ace king barbecue bays thieves ransacked both of his restaurants. also, employees at san francisco's federal building are now getting escorts in and out of work due to the open drug use just outside. this video was shot this afternoon. at the same time, a campaign called we love

convention traffic to rebound. the opening comes as a new campaign to revamp san francisco's image rolled out. long time resident cassidy zaire created we love sf. >> if the city wasn't facing challenges, i wouldn't be here today. but i think it's important to tell the other side of the story. and so often our negative or less favorable moments are shared on social media or by the broader media. >> reporter: we love sf is focused on sharing positive content from the community and showing the beauty and good in the city on its instagram. >> a lot of underlying issues we face will take a lot of time, effort, and money to fix, and i believe that changing perception is something that can happen in an instant. i think that's the ethos of what we want to tap into. >> reporter: air traffic to san francisco was up 93% of pre-pandemic levels in june,

the highest since the pandemic began. hotel revenues are about 75% of pre-pandemic levels. >> we know we'll have succeeded in the campaign when tourists are landing at the san francisco airport and saying i can't wait to see the city, and i hope it lives up to all my fantastic expectations. >> san francisco is always a boom and bust town, so san francisco has its high moments and then everything always comes back to san francisco. >> reporter: we love sf says it's partnering with local businesses like future bars to hold events. the easiest way to get involved and stay engaged is through their instagram. now to a san francisco mother's long serve for justice. her son was walking to his job as a youth counselor when someone drove up and started shooting at him, unloading 30 rounds on him in

prosecution of aubrey's killer. on to the maui wildfires. the death toll is at 99 and is expected to rise with at least 1300 people still unaccounted for. california canine team just deployed to comb through deaf stated burn areas and search for potential survivors and human remains. >> you'll find 10 to 20 people per day probably until they finish. it's hard to, um, recognize anymore. >> meanwhile, the hawaii governor says a comprehensive review is underway right now to determine why the state's emergency siren system stayed silent as flames tore through lahaina as fast as a mile a minute. >> oh no, oh no! >> trees were falling and branches were on fifire. power linenes were falling down. >> tonight, hawaiian electric faces a class action lawsuit claiming the company failed to cut power as lines toppled.

important to note, investigators haven't determined the fire's exact cause. the maui fire now eclipses the 2018 camp fire as the deadliest u.s. wildfire in more than a century. 85 people died in and around the town of paradise, which posted on facebook today quote, having experienced tragedy, we are unfortunately familiar with the unimaginable experiences you're facing. from one paradise to another, we are here for you in whatever you may need. for more information on how you can help, just look under top stories on kpix.com. still ahead, this east bay man has spent decades collecting toy cars, and when he had a medical emergency, his collection became a lifeline. >> so i pretty much thought i was dead, so i asked god, said a prayer to god to give me a second chance to live. >> the doctors saved his life, then hot wheels saved him from a lifetime of medical debt.

what if you, say, had half a million dollars in the bank. but instead of money, your currency came in the form of tiny cars? one man turned his hot wheels collection into a lifeline after a serious health scare. >> reporter: there's a lot of stuff. >> this is what keeps me going. >> reporter: inside edgar's garage. >> my wife says i'm a hoarder and to get rid of everything. >> reporter: but those boxes and crates are not full of junk, instead toys. a lot of toys. specifically hot wheels. >> i've been, i've been collecting toys for 35 years. >> reporter: how many cars do you have in total? >> approximately i probably have about 110,000 hot wheels. >> reporter: that's a lot. we're inside his home where you'll find even more toys,

including his prized possessions. >> this is a 1967 chevrolet camaro. >> reporter: how much is this worth? >> about $4,000 just this one car. >> reporter: because for him, collecting toys is not a hobby, it's a way of life. you say you're not able to hold a job right now, so this is your job? >> this is my job. >> reporter: in may of 2020, he suffered a stroke. >> i pretty much thought i was dead, so i asked god, said a prayer to god that if you give me a second chance to live, i promise to be a better son to my mom, a better husband to my life, and a voice said you'll be okay. i said god, is that you? and the funny part in crying was no, i'm your doctor, and i said god's a doctor? are you going to heal me? he said you're going to be fine, you just have a major stroke and

you're paralyzed. >> reporter: he'd spend six and a half weeks in the hospital, and now on permanent disability. his toys and hot wheel collection becoming a lifeline. >> coming up with a large amount of money for a hospital bill or medical procedure, i picked something out i know i could sell fast. >> reporter: that's why on weekends, you'll find him at flea markets and car shows. >> if you want it, i'll sell it to you for $8. it's worth more than that. >> reporter: selling his hot wheels to kids and even serious collectors. >> so far, it's a better return than the stock market. >> you only need 50. >> reporter: a great investment for himself and his loyal customers like eduardo. how long have been collecting? >> me? three years. this guy has every single hot wheel you can get. you can't even find them at the stores or nothing like that. >> reporter: that's because they are probably sitting in

those boxes and crates inside edgar's garage. >> i have hot wheels in here. i have more in this box. >> reporter: a hustle that became a way to make ends meet. >> this is my savings, my stock, and my happiness. >> had we known, we would have collected early on. >> oh, yeah, love it. >> so colorful too. he probably has favorites hard to part with. >> i imagine there's a fair number he'll hang on to. >> and better than the stock market. go figure! >> makes me think of my dad's baseball dad collection that my grandmother threw out. >> oh, no! >> yeah. that could have paid for a lot. >> sorry. >> i think there's a lot of dads from the 50s and 60s with

a similar story. let's take a look at the weather this evening. we have a little area of fog that's stretching out through the golden gate reaching out toward the east side of the bay. we'll see more fog through the rest of tonight. there's still a possibility of a pop up shower or storm. but really the better chance it will hold off until tomorrow. still hot inland, and humidity remains notable for the next few days. cooling off to near normal tonight. the debris clouds from the showers elsewhere around the region still drifting through the skies over the bay area. things quieting down on the radar loop the past several hours, but there are hundreds of cloud to ground lightning strikes across california today meaning undoubtedly there will be some lightning sparked fires. more showers and thunderstorms are likely, just not necessarily in the bay area. the low cloud cover and fog back up to the coast. the latest runs of futurecast keep us dry through

tomorrow. not even a pop up shower or storm like today. the bulk of that activity will be firing up over the high sierra and mountains of far northern california. maybe as close to us as mendecino and lake county. we'll monitor the radar in the afternoons the next couple of days. in terms of the heat, still noticeable along with that mugginess tomorrow and wednesday. we start to back down thursday. little stretch of slightly below average temperatures for at least two or three days for concord and then back to above average temperatures early next week. but at least the coolest readings in place in time for the weekend. there's the fog reaching around the hotel. temperature at 59 downtown. 60s across the bay and oakland. also 60s in santa rosa. we'll see the fog becoming more widespread, but not pushing too far into the inland valleys by early tomorrow morning. it's a fairy shallow layer of fog, so it won't take too long to dissipate to the coast. along the coast might be tough to

shake. temperatures tonight dropping down only into the 60s for most of us. another couple of degrees worth of cooling in san francisco, but again, that reflects the humidity in the atmosphere. limitshow much we cool off overnight. temperatures reaching close to 70 in pacifica tomorrow. 70s in san francisco and oakland. inland, 80s and a lot of 90s. the hottest spots up to 100 in the inland east bay. game two of the giants series against the tampa bay rays. temperatures start in the 60s, gradually cooling into the lower half of the 60s. temperatures won't change dramatically around the bay. back to almost exactly average temperatures by friday, saturday, and sunday. the cool down more noticeable farther inland where temperatures will still be hot tomorrow and wednesday, but then pleasant friday, saturday, and sunday. back down to the upper 80s and

maybe low 90s inland into the east bay this weekend. along the coast, not much change there. temperatures just staying in the 60s, but maybe closer to 70 by early next week. single game record paul, i'm still hurting that baseball collection is gone. patrick bailey walked it off sunday night for the giants. could they carry the momentum into a series against the third best team in the tampa bay rays? plus trey lance didn't look all that comfortable in

we're still thinking about those baseball cards thrown out by paul's dad or something. but we have the niners to talk about, and beyond that, i guess the giants had a thriller tonight. >> yes, last night it was a huge thriller, and it looked like it would be a huge momentum boost for the final stretch of the season. they also called up wade meckler.

former eighth round pick. he began the year in single a, so they were hoping he'd give them a spark. but look at this. giants announcer dave fleming was the bat boy tonight. it was his punishment for losing a fantasy football contest. best punishment ever. 4-0 tampa in the fourth. rays had 12 hits in the first five innings. 11 of them singles. san francisco trailing 6-1 in the seventh. meckler up, bases loaded, but he strikes out to end the inning. he was 0 for 3. his mom just couldn't watch. next half inning, something other than a single. jose doubles to left, it's 8-1. tampa bay had 18 hits in the game. 18. giantshave now lost 7 of their last 9 and have a game and a half lead for a wild card spot. oh well for the momentum. a's visiting the cardinals in st. louis. oakland clinging to a 5-4 lead in the 7th.

jordan walker flies one to right center. it hits off seth brown's glove, two hands, seth! unloads the bases. st. louis wins 7-5. a's have lost eight straight road games. in his first game since last september, trey lance was sacked four times behind the second string offensive line. but lance and head coach kyle shanahan differed on whether the blame was scarily on trey. >> it was my fault, they're competing their butts off. >> it got off to a rough start, i don't put it all on trey. i thought the whole offense was sloppy to start. >> so lance took the blame. shanahan deferred. either way, sloppy preseason game one. what happens in vegas hopefully stays in vegas, and it's just a preseason game. >> all right, thank you. all right, she was in the

their cars and leaving messes on their driveway, squawking at all hours of the day. so local leaders came up with the idea. turns out sterilizing one peacock can prevent up to a dozen pregnancies. of course, there are critics. >> probably one of the dumbest things, cruelest things i've heard of. you don't do that. mother nature takes care of it. you don't like the way their stuff smells? move away. >> the procedure takes about three or five minutes per side. it's quick, easy, and benign. the peacock doesn't know anything happened when he wakes up. >> oh, yes he does! >> let's let the peacock be the judge of that. >> they're just sitting on bags of frozen peas the next couple of weeks. >> florida, my home state, we can't get away from running the worst florida stories at the end of the show.
