have that same sense of pride and wonder about our great city. >> he says it will take an outsider to fix city hall. >> what we see going on here is the insider. >> we hear the vision he wants to bring to the city for the next generation. >> i think we're capable of so much, and we're not living up to the expectations we all have for our city. all week long, we are bringing you one-on-one interviews with the candidates for san francisco mayor. today, we're talking to daniel lurie. we're going to ask him how he plans to take on san francisco's biggest challenges. we'll have that conversation in just a few minutes. but first, a look at your news headlines. san jose police arrested three suspects accused of trying to kill a man with machetes. police released these mugshots as well as surveillance video of the
4:31 pm
attack. a warning, it's pretty tough to watch. the attack happened in a business parking lot on alum rock back in june. the suspect had some kind of confrontation with the victim earlier in the day, and then later they tracked him down and attacked him. police say one of the suspects was convicted in a 2005 homicide, and was released from prison back in 2018. we spoke with him back in may just a month before the attack, and he told us he had turned his life around through photography and community work. >> i just knew i had to make that stand. and i made the stand, and was going to deal with the consequences. that's the stress work that i did not know what would happen. >> police say the suspect was stabbed several times, but survived. pretrial hearings are underway in nima momeni's murder case. he's accused of stabbing tech entrepreneur, bob lee, in san francisco in april of last year. both sides are working to establish the ground
4:32 pm
rules for the trial like how the mention of the knife can be used. jury selection is expected to start next week. and people who want to keep the great highway open to cars held a rally in san francisco. if voters approve prop k this november, the upper part of the highway would be permanently closed to cars and converted into an ocean front park. it's been closed to cars on weekends ever since the pandemic. opponents worry a permanent closure would lead to traffic congestion in nearby neighborhoods. today is day two of dreamforce in san francisco. more than 45,000 people are in town for the annual salesforce conference at moscone. tonight pink and imagine dragons are performing as part of a benefit concert. and darren, it looks like actually i hope they brought their coats and their umbrellas because it was a little drizzly today? >> i keep getting distracted by what's behind you actually on the radar. those down right
4:33 pm
thunderstorms moving across. there's a lot of them. and the system responsible r if that, we're in the middle of that. that is exhibit two. those are cumulus clouds building out there as you can see the extent of the clouds. you can see how those clouds look different from what we normally get around here, billowing puffy cumulus clouds. there's no rain now. let's track that rain, as we saw from looking at first alert doppler. most of the rain from this system is pretty much confined either off to our east in the sierra or off to our west. and so if we come back here to the map that will help us visualize with that rain and what it will be doing next. the first thing you want to do, watch the last few hours. it's a counterclock wise spin right off the coast. do you see it? here is the explosion of the thunderstorms in the sierra that we just had. a few more showers are sitting off the coast. that will basically set the stage for where we are right now. so we know there is a system, counterclockwise spin, where we
4:34 pm
are kind of right in the middle of that spin. if we take this imagery forward in time, watch what it does from here through tomorrow morning. it will continue to rain in the sierra. then once they get to the south, maybe a few showers down around monterey and then down towards the central coast and that's it. so we are likely not going to get any rain out of this system as they will continue its southward progression. we are pretty much done with it at that point. so with that in mind, let's come back home. and with a pretty interesting looking sky. that much will stay the same as long as this system is in the neighborhood. our skies are still going to look like it could rain, maybe at any moment. the clouds will be impressive if you like watching stuff like that, and that is about it. tomorrow's daytime highs will start a subtle rebound, but the story really, once we get done with this weak little system, it's how much warmer we're going to be by the weekend and how fast we're going to get there. so this is
4:35 pm
your thursday, daytime highs, which will climb about four, five degrees or so, we'll get you back to the mid-80s. we will jump straight ahead because i want you to see where we will be by the time we get to sunday. now you're back in the mid-90s with plenty of sunshine, marine layer morning, summer. it's coming right back. so we've got this really kind of exciting little break in the weather right now. it hasn't really translated to much rain for us and it won't. thankfully we didn't have to deal with any straight lightning strikes either because there was a small chance of that happening. but what you really see when you look at the seven day is not so much today or tomorrow, it's back here. so this is really where we want to draw your attention. the numbers will be climbing well into the 90s. after the weather that we had around here for the past few days, this might not be on the top of your list of expectations. so just get ready for it especially if you have something planned outdoors for your weekend. you won't have to worry about rain, but you do need to worry about temperatures, 15 to 17 degrees
4:36 pm
above average for this time of the year. all right, liz, back to you. we are 48 days from the election. all week long, we've been asking the candidates for san francisco mayor why voters should give them their vote. well today we'll focus on non-profit executives and the only city hall outsider, daniel lurie. we'll hear from him in just a few minutes about his vision for san francisco. but first, we wanted to catch up with him on his day-to-day life. our lauren toms will join him on a date night with his wife, becca. >> thank you. >> you've got to be all in if you are going to do something as wild and crazy as the run for mayor of your hometown. >> reporter: dashing across that hometown, daniel lurie will race it to make it with his wife, becca. with each passing block, he's reminded why of how he's taking on this
4:37 pm
challenge. >> i love when people say they cannot do something. and i think that's what we're seeing in san francisco. we have a culture now where people in san francisco, they're done. this city's got the same drive that i do. >> reporter: under 100 days out from election day, the reality of his run for mayor still hasn't set if for the man known for his non-profit tipping point and his relation to the levi's company. even so he says his identity lies with the spirit of san francisco. >> i think people have always underestimated me. i think people think oh, everything, just got handed to him. listen, i've had a lot of opportunities. i will never deny that. i work hard. >> reporter: stepping off the nine and onto market street. >> i used to wear like crazy colored socks, trying to tone it down just a little bit, but you need to have a little something down there. >> reporter: he walks in to an event close to his heart.
4:38 pm
downtown first thursday in soma, created by the civic joy fund. a group founded in part by daniel himself with the vision rooted in the next generation. >> i want all of our kids, not just my kids, but all of our kids to have that same sense of pride and wonder about our great city. and right now, we are all worried about the direction of our city, and i want to do something about it. >> reporter: hand in hand, the pair goes together for more than 20 years. rebecca learned early on about his commitment. >> he is going to do it. >> reporter: even the family dog is a shiny example of daniel's loyalty to his own promises. >> i brought this dog home. without running it by becca, and the kids were so happy. and
4:39 pm
in the first moment. >> i should have known, and assailed have followed our own council about him. i should have listened to what i knew to be true about you. >> yeah, yeah. >> if i'm going to do something, i'm going all in. >> reporter: going all if on the run for mayor and a run he says is all in for the city. >> how does an outsider plan to come in and run city hall? coming up, we will ask daniel lurie about that and his plan to make san francisco safer and more affordable for families.
4:42 pm
francisco mayor a chance to make their case to voters. our guest today is daniel lurie. he has never held elected office, saying he is running as a political outsider. he was born and raised in san francisco, the founder of the anti-poverty non-profit tipping point community. he was also the chairman of the 2016 super bowl host committee, and the heir to levi straus. daniel lurie is joining me now. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> the first question, if you could pick one thing to change or improve in san francisco, what would that be? >> it's got to be our early childhood education. the best investment we could make in our city is making sure our kids will get off to the right start. it's no better use to make sure our kids will get off to the right start and our public schools are thriving.
4:43 pm
again, for us to be a world class city, they need to be a world class educational center. >> that's a great point. but before we go, i don't want to get by without talking about public safety as you said in your campaign, it is one of your priorities. crime is actually down in the city. but what would you do specifically to improve crime in the city and public safety? >> i would just say it is my number one priority. there is just nothing else that matters if people don't feel safe. if our parents taking their kids to school don't feel safe. if you are getting on muni and you have a rough experience, you are not going to get on and ride muni. that's what we are seeing from it administration. they put their finger up in the air and decide whether or not they are pro law enforcement or not. you have my commitment that i will be for public
4:44 pm
safety. we need to staff our sheriff's department and our 911 dispatch office. we need to do a better job recruiting officers with housing subsidies and educational subsidies, continuing education for our officers. and listen, more police officers does not mean you'll be okay. when you're 500 officers short of where we need to be, we should be around 2,000. and that is a real problem for our small businesses and for families here in san francisco. >> and now san francisco for its part does not have a great reputation around the country, right? news of homeless crimes and drug overdoses have really overshadowed the conversation around the city. crime rates are down this year, but how do you rebuild the image of san francisco across the country and also here in the bay area? >> we just said, it will start with public safety and starts
4:45 pm
with clean streets. i have called for a new police district in downtown that will be just focused on our hospitality zone. from union square to the center, i just want a group of police focused on that hospitality zone, so people know when they come for conventions like dreamforce, you know, or for them to shop that the police will be focused on them right now. we have three different police stations overlapping. incredible job with ricky pearsall and the shooting in pearsall and the shooting a couple weeks ago. the doctors there saved his life. incredibly grateful. but those news stories will continue, as we continue to rebound like
4:46 pm
most other major american cities. we are last on the list when it comes to cities that are recovering. we can do this if we have strong leadership out of city hall, and i will deliver that day one of my administration. >> now you're a city hall outsider, making you stand out. but the reality is you're going to be working with folks who have built their careers in san francisco government. how do you think you could come in to get them to not only listen to you, but work with you as well? >> it is something i have done if my whole career. i built largest poverty fighting organization west of new york city. we did super bowl 50 in a different way. i built housing here if san francisco on time and under budget, when no one thought that was possible. we will do the same thing in city hall. they will require building trust. i'm going to take the oath of office on
4:47 pm
january 8, 2025. i can promise you, something will go wrong at 2:00 p.m. and i hate to say that, but it's true. i'm not going to blame the past administration or throw the d.a. or supervisors under the bus. i'm going to start building real trust with my supervisors, department heads, and tell them the cometure of accountability, it will start with me. and i think that is how you start working with people who might disagree with you. it might be 60% of the time. but i'm going to find those areas of common ground. we have to get back to the truest version of public service. not that public service for personal profit or gain, but really the true version of service to the
4:48 pm
taxpayers and the residents, and i commit to you and everybody watching that i'm going to be focused as a mayor and serving the people of san francisco again. >> i want to get back to something you mentioned in the beginning of the conversation. and that is to make san francisco a more family-friendly city. so many young families have to leave the city when they have children because they don't want to send their kids to public school. they have long struggled with teacher shortages, low test scores. now the threat of school closures because of low enrollment. what do you plan to do about that? right now they operate separately from city hall. should that, in itself, change? >> i think you will bring up the incredible point. our young families don't see them here in san francisco long term. and we have to get away from that. we have to give them a brighter future, where they know their teams will be safe, that there will be affordable housing, that our public schools will be
4:49 pm
strong. those are the three areas. and the city hall insiders have created all these problems. it takes 33 months to get through permitting. when it takes 33 months to do that, that will make it less affordable. and what i was able to approve is that we could get through that faster. we've got something built for three years, and 145 units. traditionally that would cost $1.2 million and seven years to get built. we just built housing for our teachers of the rental subsidized housing for our teachers. 900 teachers applied for it. it took seven years to get that project built. we have to streamline that permitting process and
4:50 pm
make sure they feel safe here, and we talked about public schools as they need to be great and we keep them here. so they could imagine a future here for themselves in san francisco. >> daniel lurie, thank you so much for being here with us. >> thank you for having me. >> we're a part of a week long series with san francisco's mayoral candidates. and we'll be talking to the supervisor, aaron peskin. we'll be right back. >the bay area events calendar, brought to you by broadway san jose. >here's what's happening in the bay area this weekend. the ultimate kids pop concert is in mountain view with a brand new tour, kidz bop live 2024. or head to the sausalito waterfront for the city's 45th
