8:00 pm
they say this is the best that we can do. they blame the system, but they built the system. i have a plan to change it. with accountability and rooting out corruption, we can tackle our housing and drug crisis, clear the tent encampments and bring our businesses back. are you ready to stop settling and start demanding more? join me in changing city hall. >juliette>and good evening and welcome to this special post-debate newscast. you just watched democrat tim walz and republican jd vance. well, they appealed to voters tonight and did their best chance in it in the first and only vice presidential debate hosted by cbs news. so this next half hour, we look at some of the big issues ahead of voters
8:01 pm
across the bay area and california ballots will start going out soon. you should be getting yours in the mail on or around next monday. from housing to funding for schools, there is a lot for local voters to consider, but the biggest race this november is the presidential election, and with just over a month to go until election day, both donald trump and kamala harris are trying to galvanize some key voter groups. our ryan yamamoto caught up with one young democratic organizer who has found inspiration from her own family history to now mobilize teenagers to get involved >>reporter for just around three years, >reporter>uma krishnan's weekend begins with a walk with her labrador coffee. >>she is my child. >reporter>a chance to breathe before she gets down to business. >>now we're heading back to my apartment and we are going to join a text bank
8:02 pm
>reporter>where she is working to organize young volunteers for the democratic party. >>i accept your nomination. >reporter>volunteer, she says, became more inspired to get involved with politics after kamala harris became the party's presidential nominee. >>i am seeing a huge resurgence in young voters. i think a lot of the youth were not particularly energized to vote for biden. i need to make a google >reporter>voice for uma. activism has always been in her blood, stretching back to her native country of india in the early 1940s. >>my grandfather obviously grew up under british imperialism and he got involved with gandhi's freedom fighting movement to help india gain its independence when he was 15 years old, he was arrested for freedom fighting, >reporter>and today her grandfather, k.k. rao, who passed away when she was just seven, remains a major influence. >>i think this kind of revolutionary spirit is just
8:03 pm
nothing but inspiring. >reporter>uma now is helping to inspire the next generation in the democratic party. >>why are we doing >reporter>where? she works with young volunteers to set up text and phone banks in battleground states >>pennsylvania, georgia, nevada, north carolina and wisconsin. >reporter>each teen joining the campaign for their own reasons. >>three of them are high school kids, one of them is a college student and all three are far more articulate than i recall. teenagers ever being. >reporter>abigail de kosnik is not surprised. >>i definitely noticed that kamala harris had more of a tiktok following >reporter>as associate professor and director of the berkeley center for new media. she says when kamala harris became the presidential nominee, she noticed a wave of interest among young voters on social media, >>fell out of a coconut tree >reporter>from the coconut tree. memes to a major summer endorsement from british pop star charli xcx declaring
8:04 pm
kamala is brat. >>kamala harris is brat means that she is fun and funny and a little messy and not all buttoned up and also deeply authentic and real. >reporter>and then an endorsement from the biggest pop star in the world, taylor swift. >>that was a hugely important endorsement for the harris campaign >reporter>but while uma has also seen this rise in young voters either volunteering or donating money, she remains cautiously optimistic. >>because i just know that a lot of the youth don't turn out it's my hope that they will, but i really think we won't know until, say, november 5th. >reporter>so much work to do for a campaign that will remain a dog fight until election day, where uma knows every vote will matter >juliette>according to a harvard youth poll 54% of voters under the age of 30 say they will definitely vote. meanwhile, harris's support
8:05 pm
among another key demographic continues to shrink. while most latino voters still lean democrat. a growing number of them align with former president trump when it comes to the economy and other national issues. our jose martinez heard from some local republicans in the north bay >reporter>so i'm going to show you here one of my, i think, premier pieces of trump memorabilia. richard mar, a member of the san francisco young republicans, proudly shows the tickets he got when he attended president trump's inauguration ceremony in 2017. it was just a really, really neat event. so i've got the tickets here. january 20th, 2017. as a mexican american living in the north bay, where several trump 2024 flags wave, he tells me he's proud to be one of more than 350,000 members of the latinos for trump movement in california. for him and many others the number one issue in this election is the economy.
8:06 pm
i was really, really happy. and as you can see, i'm not all that far. this blue section from, from the platform where president trump took office met plenty of californians who had made the trip themselves. according to a 2024 pew research center report, 85% of latino voters say the economy is very important to their vote in this year's presidential election. among trump's latino supporters, like richard, that number jumps to 93%, making the economy the most cited issue. i heard one expression that trump kind of poured jet fuel on the economy. other important issues vary among voters. i spoke with jasmine saavedra an esthetician, and linda martinez hanna, a caregiver. we came from a very conservative family. we know the kind of family that are support abortion. oh, yeah. mija, go. you know, take have an abortion. or showing our kids, about, sexual education, homosexual education. that is happening right now at school.
8:07 pm
they have these values, but they cannot let go of the democrat party to me. how can you vote for a party that is against everything we stand for, which is god, family, and country. their stance reflects a broader sentiment among trump supporters, who emphasize conservative social policies. but desfina who fled nicaragua's communist government more than 35 years ago, feels strongly about political stability. we came for another reason to the usa not to leave what we live in right now, not to leave the repression that we live in right now. not >>no >>to have a high government, the government over us trying to take over everything, the property, even >>tom >>cole >>what do you think? what do you talk these opinions have cost them both jasmine and linda tell me they have lost clients because of their political views. richard says at the end of the day, it all comes down to the american dream. latinos have concerns about public safety, their kids
8:08 pm
education and the quality of that, and of course, they have cost of living and economic concerns. if we can acutely see all those things happen with and are playing out in latino households in the bay area, i think republicans have a real shot of making inroads. for supporters like richard jasmine and linda, it's about ensuring their voices are heard at the ballot box >juliette>with so much focus this election on security and accuracy, some local counties are already testing equipment to make sure everything runs smoothly. on election day, our lauren toms met up with an election worker in san francisco today, he says for him, the public's trust in the process is personal >reporter>ballot by ballot. hundreds of voting systems are being put to the test at the san francisco department of elections warehouse where john arntz, the director of the elections department, expects 100% accuracy. so our folks here will run the
8:09 pm
cards. these test techs through the equipment. and so every machine has to have results that match exactly to the expected results with each ping of a properly counted ballot, more than 500 counting systems are currently undergoing accuracy testing ahead of election day, and that also has to pick up when there's no votes or too many votes and so the machine has to pick up all scenarios. so we test in the beginning and we test again at the end. and again it's just to make sure that the votes that the public knows that the votes they cast were captured and we and that they were reported correctly. and despite a 100% accuracy requirement in more than a dozen layers of protection and transparency, skepticism in the election process nationwide remains high. according to a cbs news poll conducted over the summer, just 25% of republican voters said they were very confident in their state's voting system, while 56% of democratic voters expressed high confidence in
8:10 pm
the system. and for john, who is overseeing the san francisco elections department for more than two decades, sowing doubt in this process has become personal it's frustration. but there are points where a lot of anger happens on my on my side, too, because of the damage that's being done to the elections process i mean, like one by one, we're running cards through these machines to make sure they would be the the votes correctly. that's what the election is based on. is based on the accuracy of the equipment. but despite any skeptics, john remains 100% confident this election will be accurate and secure. i think elections also are important to how communities view themselves. if an election is run well in a community, i think the community has a better sense of itself and i think us being successful has a big part of san francisco. in a way, being successful. and so it just kind of has momentum that way. building trust this election >juliette>and still ahead, we take a look at some of our state propositions, including one that would greatly impact
8:11 pm
inmate firefighters and other workers behind bars. and santa clara county could have its first vietnamese american supervisor after this november. up next, the two front runners who could make history. >darren>extreme heat to begin the month of october, either near record or record high temperatures across the bay area close in san francisco and oakland. but a new record set in san jose closing redwood city and new records in santa rosa record tying their record breaking high temperature of 103. in livermore, more records li
8:12 pm
8:13 pm
>juliette>one of the hot button state propositions this november is dividing democrats. it's proposition 36. it would increase penalties for theft and certain drug crimes. so we've heard from several business owners who have had their stores broken into who support prop 36. it would make changes to prop 47, which voters approved a decade ago that reduced most shoplifting
8:14 pm
and drug possession offenses to misdemeanors. prop 36 would stiffen penalties for repeat theft offenders, and it would mandate drug treatment as an option instead of jail time for certain drug offenses. >>it's breaking not only affect our bottom lines but it's also reduce the morale of my employees and the trust of our customers. there is not a single line item in this ballot initiative creating new funding streams for new treatment >juliette>san jose mayor matt mehan is one of several bay area mayors who have spoken out in support of prop 36, while governor newsom has warned about it taking california back to the era of mass incarceration california voters also will weigh in on forced labor in state prisons. our lauren toms breaks down what prop six is all about >>every day, lawrence cox
8:15 pm
proudly wears this pen that says, all of us or none. it's inclusivity. it means everybody, no matter what your race is, we are all capable of being impacted. for lawrence that impact us through the justice system, after spending 17 years in prison, he now wears it as a symbol of his fight to end forced labor as a criminal penalty, as he helps to write a ballot measure that may outlaw that practice for prisoners making, what, $22 a month for working all day just about sometimes i have those experiences in my mind. i understood what it what it meant not to have my own autonomy i understood what it meant to, be forced to work. california outlawed slavery in 1850. in its first state constitution, but it held on to a clause that is still in effect 174 years later. it allows for prisons to demand inmates to work various jobs, and lawrence says his experience working in his prison's kitchen and as a janitor was not effective in
8:16 pm
his own journey of rehabilitation. it's so cold to where all the water that falls is already turned into icicles leaning on the roof from the dock. as you know that we work at and i remember almost having frostbite because we have to constantly go in and outside to unload and load trucks. according to the california department of corrections and rehabilitation, inmates earn anywhere from $0.16 per hour for basic labor to $10.24 per day for inmates who work as firefighters. but lawrence says these wages, even at the highest levels, are not enough to provide an inmate with enough money upon release or to sustain their needs from within prison. it's hard on people's families when they are incarcerated. it costs it costs. it really does. it costs. so being able to take some of that burden off of my family would have been excellent. but making pennies on the hour you can't. you can't do that. it's just it's impossible. critics of the ballot measure say work inside a prison is all
8:17 pm
part of an inmate's need to repay their debt to society, and set some up for life outside of prison walls. but so far, no money has been spent opposing the ballot measure. even so, a new study from the nonpartisan public policy institute of california shows that half of likely voters are estimated to vote no on the measure, and study author mark baldassare says a lack of knowledge of the proposition often leads voters to default to a no vote, since there isn't a d or an r next to it. there's a yes or a no. i think there was more of a sense of why did the why did the state legislature put this on the ballot? what's this all about? what is involuntary servitude anyway? but lawrence argues providing inmates with the choice to work or dignified pay would do more to improve public safety and reduce the potential to re-offend. i think it's an excellent opportunity for us as a state, as a society, as a people, as constituents to step up and put our morals, before profit and gain. put our morals before the
8:18 pm
desire to exploit individuals hoping to pave a new path of prioritizing rehabilitation >juliette>one local race will make history regardless of the outcome. santa clara county voters are set to elect their first vietnamese american supervisor len ramirez heard from the two candidates for the district two seat about what they stand for. >>gofundme nato it's me, >reporter>madison wynn and betty young are campaigning and trailblazing one of them will become the first vietnamese american to be elected to the santa clara county board of supervisors. >>when you have an opportunity to be a trailblazer, to be a first in a you know, in a position, it also comes with responsibility. >reporter>madison, an experienced politician and private businesswoman was born in vietnam and emigrated to the
8:19 pm
u.s. as a child with her mother and father and eight siblings. they settled in modesto and from the time madison was a child to when she left home for college, she was a farm worker, picking fruit off trees in the central valley. >>these were the orchards that made me it made me appreciate hard work it made me appreciate the value of the dollar. it made me appreciate the fact that working hard like this can actually lead you to a life. you know, of greatness. one day >reporter>after college at uc santa cruz and graduate school at the university of chicago madison settled in san jose and was drawn into politics. she went from school board member to san jose's first vietnamese american city council member and then vice mayor she worked with the community and her council colleagues to save mobile home parks and build market-rate and affordable housing with parks and playgrounds for kids. >>that toddler area was
8:20 pm
something that i specifically requested from the developer, and because of that, now we have children playing there. >reporter>if elected, madison says she would work to reduce homelessness, increase mental health services, and demand financial accountability. >>growing up very poor like that my parents taught us to save every dollar that we made. i would work with the county's budget as if it's my own family budget that's how i would look at that. i would look at the line items. i would make sure that we're not wasting taxpayers dollars >reporter>betty young has a wealth of experience at the county level, but is running for her first political office. >>this is home. >reporter>her family also emigrated from vietnam, but she was born in san jose and grew up in subsidized housing in rough neighborhoods where crime was just outside her window. >>there was like an execution here. down here. and all the neighbors sent me to go listen in and try to figure out and then translate to them and tell them what the what the chisme what the tea was. >reporter>how did growing up in this building shape your views
8:21 pm
today? >>it really is fundamentally the foundation for who i am today. >reporter>as the eldest of three girls, betty says she also felt the stress of growing up fast, translating for her parents to secure the family's food and housing services and school and medical appointments. as a teen, she had trouble in school, but things turned around when she took a job at eastridge mall. >>so fantasy nails here used to be the ctc worknet homework center. >reporter>she became a tutor and found happiness in helping others. >>not being the best student in class did definitely help me relate to other kids who you know, not everyone's the valedictorian and when they came in, they say you don't know how hard school is, miss betty. i was like, oh girl, i know, i know, like talk to me. you know? >reporter>she went to de anza college graduated from uc berkeley and then got a law degree. she went on to work for santa clara county and is now chief of staff for outgoing supervisor cindy chavez. she helped build the vietnamese-american service center. if elected, she says, she would work to build more affordable housing, create safer neighborhoods, and take
8:22 pm
the vast center's integrated service model countywide. >>you know, when we talk about serving people, we don't just give them a ticket or deliver services and say, we've done the job right, checked off the box you need and deserve the highest level of respect of dignity. honor. right >reporter>betty young and madison nguyen two candidates who want to make a difference, but in this election, only one of them will get to make history >juliette>still ahead, the legacy of a stateswoman, the political memorabilia as well as necklaces and other items belonging to the late senator dianne feinstein,
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
welcome back. we're also watching the face off for california's highly coveted seat in the u.s. senate. recent polling shows democratic congressman adam schiff is expanding his already large lead over republican steve garvey, and a poll from uc
8:25 pm
berkeley's institute of government studies showed schiff with a 20 point advantage over garvey, 53% to 33%. schiff support has remained about the same over the past six months, but this polling shows garvey's support has taken a dip back in february, he was at 38%. they are running to replace the late dianne feinstein, who held the seat for over 30 years. she died one year ago and now a collection from her three decades in congress is now up for auction. some of her most prized possessions including jewelry, artwork and political memorabilia. it's been displayed in san francisco and los angeles >>and she wore this necklace to the white house >reporter>right before our eyes. the legacy of a stateswoman >>a >>personal collection of senator dianne feinstein's jewelry and political memorabilia. >>this was senator feinstein's take on the

8:28 pm
will be just as cherished and cared for by those whose lives she touched and who admired her as a pioneering woman in politics, >juliette>the online auction is taking place right now in the live auction will happen october 8th in los angeles. and still ahead, we take a look at some of our local headlines. we're talking about records falling today as the bay area swelters through a fall heat wave. when will we feel some relief? plus, not an ideal situation for one san francisco neighborhood asked to evacuate because of a gas leak how the city helped people stay cool out in the heat. and as israel vows to respond to iran's massive missile attack on the country, we will hear from a california student taking shelter in israel. the fears of

it is inevitable. chloe! hey dad. they will grow up. [cheering] silly face, ready? discover who they are. [playing music] what they want from this world. and how they will make it better. and while parenting has changed, how much you care has not. that's why instagram is introducing teen accounts. automatic protections for who can contact them and the content they can see.
8:30 pm
♪♪
8:31 pm
and the content they can see. welcome back. i'm juliette goodrich. these are your prime time headlines at the half hour. israel vowing to respond after iran's ballistic missile attack on the country sirens wailed and explosions could be seen in the skies as iran fired a barrage of nearly 200 missiles into israel the country's military says its air defenses intercepted many of the missiles. with the help of the u.s. military and naval destroyers. iran says it launched the attack in retaliation for israel's ground offensive in lebanon and strikes on hezbollah. the white house calling the iran's barrage a significant escalation. >>we are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure. first and foremost, american interests and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible as we >juliette>go. as of now, no reports of any deaths. the u.s. is sending three additional aircraft squadrons to the region, with the goal of preventing the
8:32 pm
conflict from escalating to an all out war. as bombs were flying overhead a california student was hiding in a bomb shelter in israel. julia kelly spoke to us as she sheltered underground. >>we go into the bomb shelter and all of a sudden sirens start going off constantly. constantly and with only a very short break in between and, there we were hearing a lot of explosions outside as well, and we it was it was really scary. >juliette>back here in the bay area, iranians worry for their relatives back home. and the jewish community is concerned a larger war could make them targets in the u.s.. firefighters battled a house fire in vallejo this afternoon. our chopper shows smoke just pouring from a two story home on horseshoe bay court, and you can see broken windows and charred trees in the back. the homeowner says she was alone when she saw fire behind the deck, spreading fast from the back. >>and i ran on the court you
8:33 pm
know, going knocking on the door that i need help, help, help. then i remembered my dog. then i came and grabbed the dog. >juliette>fortunately, no one was hurt. the cause is still under investigation, and a gas leak prompted some evacuations in san francisco's bayview neighborhood. officials say a construction crew struck a natural gas line on hall avenue this morning. pg and e shut off gas to the area and cautionary evacuations in the neighborhood that since have been lifted. some people were hesitant to leave their homes in the heat, so the city sent out muni busses to serve as temporary cooling shelters. boy, it still is a warm night around the bay area. more cities breaking records today as we hit the peak of this fall heat wave. san jose was one of them, reaching 100 degrees. few people headed to calero reservoir to cool off on the water on their boats and jet skis. can't blame them even san francisco couldn't escape the heat today. temps were in the
8:34 pm
90s. our chopper was above dolores park this afternoon, where we saw just a few people out there sunbathing. we head to walnut creek. the pool at heather farm park was a popular place to be at clark memorial swim center. some told us they came here just to get some relief from the triple digit temperatures. >>getting soaking up some water because it's too hot i don't feel sweaty. pulls me down for at least a couple hours. yeah, >juliette>and the heat is not over yet. taking a live look outside, more records could be broken tomorrow. so let's bring in chief meteorologist paul hogan for more on this heat wave. >darren>yeah to start the month of october still feels like just every bit of summertime and tomorrow is kind of the second day of the peak of the heat wave with the heat advisories and excessive heat warnings continuing for the entire bay area through technically 11 p.m. tomorrow. excessive heat warnings in the pinkish purple that includes san francisco where temperatures today did make it up into the mid 90s with the heat advisories right along the
8:35 pm
coast and for valleys of the north bay. maybe not quite as hot as other inland parts of the bay area, but it's going to be hot across the entire region. let's take a look at where we topped out today. a live view right now from the mark tippetts from san jose shows clear skies overhead, not even a hint of fog across any part of the bay area. we had records all across the board. set new record high temperatures in santa rosa. the sonoma county airport record tying high temperature for downtown santa rosa, concord, san jose and hayward also setting triple digit record highs. mid 90s in san francisco, but only mid 70s for half moon bay. feeling a little bit short of expectations, we did think we were going to be up into the 80s today. tomorrow's temperatures still substantially above average another 20 to 25 plus degrees above average. as you make your way farther and farther away from the coast, and the heat risk is actually going to be even higher. some of the hottest spots around antioch and brentwood today, it was in the very high category. it's going to tip into the extreme category tomorrow before backing down fractionally on thursday, and tomorrow is yet another spare the air day with the same weather pattern
8:36 pm
producing the heat at ground level. it's also trapping a lot of urban pollution at ground level as well, so that unhealthy for sensitive groups range inland in the east bay and in the santa clara valley. the hot weather for inland parts of the bay area is going to continue into the weekend. i've got more details on that coming up in the full forecast that is just a few minutes away. >juliette>all right, paul, thank you. about an hour ago republican vice presidential candidate jd vance and democratic vice presidential candidate tim walz wrapped up their first and only debate. it was hosted by cbs news in new york city right out the gate. the two were asked about today's big headline, the attack by iran on israel and whether they would support or oppose a preemptive strike by israel on iran. >>a nearly 80 year old donald trump, talking about crowd sizes is not what we need in this moment. but it's not just that. it's those that were closest to donald trump that understand how dangerous he is when the world is this dangerous. what we've seen out of vice
8:37 pm
president harris is we've seen steady leadership. we've seen a calmness that is able to be able to draw on the coalitions, to bring them together, understanding that our allies matter. now, to answer this particular question, we have to remember that as much as governor waltz just accused donald trump of being an agent of chaos, donald trump actually delivered stability in the world. and he did it by establishing effective deterrence >juliette>all right. the two were also asked about the economy, reproductive rights and gun laws. overall, it was a civil debate. but there was one moment when senator vance's mic was cut during a discussion about mass deportations in springfield ohio. >>thank you, gentlemen we want to have app has not been on the books since 1990. it's something that kamala harris created. margaret gentleman the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut. we have so much we want to get to. >juliette>all right. joining us now in studio, david mcewen, political science professor from sonoma state university. thank you so much.
8:38 pm
>reporter>it's a pleasure >juliette>to be i would say that the tone tonight was cordial. you know, >reporter>it was minnesota and midwestern cordial >juliette>it had that tone to it. so why don't we just get right out the gate? your reaction to the debate? >reporter>all right. so if you're jd vance, you're familiar with this format. you've done it a few times as a result you can be the aggressor and you're selling this message that softens the edges. so in that sense it's a little bit softer. it's not the jd vance that we hear so much about in terms of talking about what's going on in ohio or what's going on with childless cat ladies, those things. so it softens the edges a little bit. on balance, that probably gives him a win or a victory. it's not sustained. it doesn't lead to very much, but it is something where he comes out slightly ahead. tim waltz, governor waltz was very timid. he wasn't that aggressive kind of coach that we saw before. and part of that might be related to the controversy. the latest controversy about tiananmen square when he's in china or >juliette>not. >>those types of things. >juliette>yeah. okay. so let's talk about the key issues. iran's attack on israel, hurricane helene, we heard about that border patrol. so
8:39 pm
how did they handle these issues? and a lot of times they would say, i agree with you. and then they would carry on with their own. >reporter>right. so you had roughly ten issue areas that were covered. the last issue being election security come right out of the gate about the events in the middle east. i mean, this is a historic >juliette>day, >>right? it's jimmy carter's 100th birthday. it's also an amazing set of events that are happening across the world. as a result, when they're handling that, they had a 12 13 minute discussion about reproductive rights. that was the most detailed, in-depth thing that we've seen on this stage. it was in some ways a very different debate than what we saw in the presidential debates. you could see them both auditioning for 2028, regardless of what happens on november 5th, for one side or the other. and on health care, they went into health care for about 13 minutes. so just those two issues alone were quite in depth and in detail. we haven't seen that before. and then you hit all the other issues, including the economy immigration, a little bit less so on crime, but certainly related to guns. and every time j.d. vance started with either his roots being from a middle
8:40 pm
class family in ohio, talking about his family and his upbringing, or he tried to tie tim waltz to the kamala harris administration. not even joe biden and in that sense, he kept hard hitting and going back and forth, something donald trump didn't do a few >juliette>weeks. yeah, he was on point with that each time. okay. so there were moments when they did seem chummy with each >reporter>other. >>so we have that. let's let's show you an example on immigration >>i believe senator vance wants to solve this, but by standing with donald trump and not working together to find a solution, it becomes a talking point. and when it becomes a talking point like this, we dehumanize and villainize other human beings. i think you want to solve this problem, but i don't think that kamala harris does >juliette>okay, so that was their back and forth. now when we say chummy, there were some moments when they were just, you know, kind of agreeing with each other and, you know, i'm sorry for your loss or i'm sorry that happened to you. i heard moments like that one did stick out, though, when you did hear walz say, well, i'm just a knucklehead and what did you
8:41 pm
think about that when you heard him kind of react? >reporter>yeah. i mean, look, when he when he talks about and does this thing about, i'm just a knucklehead. it does provide kind of that one line. and you're looking for that. this was a policy debate. it wasn't a zingers debate. so there weren't too many moments that were that zingers thing, which is what you saw in the presidential debate. but when donald trump has taken off of his game by kamala harris >juliette>okay, let's listen to that. let's see. tim walz was pressed admitted to making a false statement today. that was big about being in tiananmen square during the 1989 protest. so let's take a listen to that. >>my community knows who i am. they saw where i was at they look, i will be the first to tell you i have poured my heart into my community. i've tried to do the best i can but i've not been perfect. and i'm a knucklehead at times. >juliette>okay, there you go. is that a big enough gaffe or is that endearing? is that vulnerable? what is >reporter>that self-inflicted not not lying. he could have just said look, i had the wrong month. i misspoke, i messed up,
8:42 pm
done. let's move on. he didn't do that. so he keeps the moment growing of that controversy longer than it needs to go. if you're if you're a seasoned candidate and this seems to be a problem, politicians can't say, national politicians can't say, look, i messed up, i misspoke, i missed the wrong month i'm sorry. let's move >juliette>on. yeah, true. okay. let's get to the middle east. the unrest in the middle east. former president trump and vice president kamala harris, both of them making comments on iran's attack on israel. so here's what they said, >>that they are very close to global catastrophe. we have a nonexistent president and a nonexistent vice president who should be in charge, but nobody knows what's going on my commitment to the security of israel is unwavering. and let us be clear, iran is not only a threat to israel. iran is also a threat to american personnel in the region >juliette>all right. one of them will ultimately inherit the problems in the middle east. are they ■equipped? >reporter>look, also, tonight,
8:43 pm
one of the tests is can one of these individuals step into the oval office? if the president is incapable of serving in that role? and what you see is this middle east problem and the inflection point that we're at, this is not going to be solved anytime soon. the next president of the united states is going to deal with this. will the will the election be resolved in a period that is shortly thereafter on november 5th? i think remains an open question because of the process of elections and administration and counting of the ballots. while this is happening in the middle east, this is a huge, huge inflection point and a moment where israel and its relationship to its neighbors is going to fundamentally change over the next, say, 35 days. >juliette>yeah, absolutely. david mcewen, thank you so much for your time. >reporter>nice to be >juliette>with you. appreciate it. all right. coming up, the giants. well they introduced their new president. take a look. you know him, buster posey. he
8:44 pm
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
the giants have a new president of baseball operations. all precincts have reported and buster posey's approval rating will never be higher. vern glenn has more from oracle park. >reporter>have you had that? oh, my gosh, we're doing this moment. whether you were cinching your tie or driving over to the stadium, i have yeah. it's, it's been an interesting last couple of days. your head's got to be spinning. it's spinning, it's spinning but it's a good feeling. buster posey made it an easy decision for giants ownership. >>when you know somebody like buster asked for the ball, you give it to him. i'm excited to be a part of a team again. san francisco giants organization is all i've ever known. >reporter>and he wants to get the organization back to being a world series contender. >>there's a standard and expectation for being a san francisco giant. we're in the memory making business. it's ultimately entertainment. >reporter>there was only one person that needed convincing.
8:47 pm
>>i also want to thank kristen posey for agreeing to this. >reporter>will reality set in when? yeah, i mean, kristen and the kids come up and you're like, not now. i gotta see this kid from double-a richmond can move the runner over. yeah, obviously my family is still going to be top priority for me, but i also know my own personality and know that i just can't go into something half heartedly. so i know i'll be you know, all, all in with this posey agreed to a three year contract and confirmed that bob melvin will return as manager. >>if i ever made eye contact with bob when i was playing, i never felt like he liked me and i think he he might have. i admittedly didn't and i never made eye contact with him either, because he was always making my life really difficult. so i'm i'm happy we're going to get to to share some more, endearing glances, i guess >reporter>it's fair to say giants alumni days will hit different with buster in charge
8:48 pm
as your phone been blowing up, some of the guys are going hey, i want to help. i just saw pat burrow, it's most definitely been blowing up, i've got some messages to get caught up on. so what happens now? it's only posey's second day on the job, and there is a long list, starting with finding a general manager as soon as possible one with scouting experience. then there's free agency. and for that player is going to be drawn to posey as the new face of the franchise. >juliette>all right. and there is the franchise right there taking a live look at the ballpark. let's get a first check of our first alert with first chief. i'm just saying first, first, first. >darren>yeah. >>to paul hagen. >darren>hi >>hi, hi. nice to >darren>meet you. >juliette>all right so, records all around or actually not quite but >darren>no, but close. >juliette>i mean, >darren>san francisco is at 94. the record is 97. so very close to a record. it was the warmest day since september sixth of 2022. so over two years that's
8:49 pm
been since san francisco got up into the mid 90s. >juliette>toasty. >>definitely hot and tomorrow is going to be another hot one across the bay area. let's take a look at the big picture pattern. and again it's the heat dome that is locked in place. big area of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere just compressing the air at ground level. that process heats it up and the position of this, where it's centered just offshore allows the offshore winds to develop. fortunately not gusty offshore winds around the bay area, so the fire threat, well, it's going to be elevated. it's not going to be off the charts. this is going to kind of shift position a little bit as we head through the next several days. so there's going to be some ups and downs in our temperatures. but overall they're going to stay hot as we head through the rest of the weekend into the weekend especially for inland parts of the bay area. it's still very warm out there this evening. taking a look outside from a couple different perspectives. looking outside in san jose again, clear skies overhead, clear skies in san francisco. we're not going to see the fog being a major factor for as long as this heat dome is in place. and those offshore winds reducing the marine influence temperatures. right now it's down to 79. in the city. it's still in the 80s across the rest of the bay area. anywhere from 83 degrees in oakland to
8:50 pm
still 88 degrees right now in san jose. after san jose hit 100 degrees in the month of october for only the second time in over 100 years. so that's the kind of unprecedented heat that we are dealing with. and part of the problem is that it doesn't really slack off as we head through the rest of tonight. now, our overnight low temperatures, if you just look at the numbers they don't look all that bad. a mix of 60s with a few 50s in some of the warmest spots, especially far inland in the east bay staying around 70 degrees. but these are the coolest temperatures that we're going to experience as we head through the rest of tonight. it means that especially away from the water, not going to be a real prolonged period for you to open up the windows, get some fresh air into the house really let your body recover from the heat that built up during the day. and in fact, if we just turn on the color map that corresponds to these temperatures, you notice that the peaks around the bay area really stand out with some angrier looking colors, because it's elevation, especially above about 750ft over 1000ft. most of the bay area's population lives below 750ft in elevation, but you get to those
8:51 pm
higher terrain spots. that's where temperatures are going to stay in the 70s. some spots, even in the 80s. and that's dangerously warm when really you just don't have much of a chance at all for your body to recover from that heat, especially as it continues to heat up tomorrow. here's the temperature contour map for tomorrow. you see all the gray areas shaping up. that's where temperatures are going to top out at or above 100 degrees. so let's fill in the map and talk about the specific numbers up to 104 degrees in san jose that would be an october record, 107 for morgan hill and los gatos. temperatures east of the oakland hills, 108, in livermore over 105 degrees for most inland parts of the east bay it's going to be 101 in redwood city. somehow, that's not a record 88 in san francisco, fractionally cooler than today. upper 70s for the coastal parts of the bay area, with temperatures inland in the north bay getting up to well over 100 degrees once again by tomorrow afternoon, and again while the wind is not going to be gusty, it is going to be still an offshore wind. trying to push some of that warmer air towards the coast. but i think even coastal temperatures are
8:52 pm
going to stay just a little bit below the 80 degree threshold. so we'll keep an eye on that for you as we head through the rest of tonight and into tomorrow. in terms of weather, records are going to be likely. let's take a look at our forecast highs for tomorrow compared to record territory. these are today's actual record high temperatures. tomorrow we're going to be close once again but it's going to take a while for the heat to subside overall. so it's something we're going to have to monitor over the course of the next ten days, because we still do have a long stretch of above average temperatures that's in store for us. so we'll start with the ten day temperature outlook for san jose, san francisco with the average high is 71. we don't get down to that level until tuesday of next week. so there are some ups and downs over the course of the next several days. but a little return to the 80s, even in the city for saturday and sunday and san jose is going to be up well into the 90s. the hottest day is going to be tomorrow, but we don't get a break from the heat not returning to average highs in the upper 70s until thursday and friday of next week. and it's a similar story for the tri-valley using livermore as an example down to 80 degrees. finally, but not until a week from thursday,
8:53 pm
that is a long stretch of hot weather that is in store for us over the course of the next. about seven, eight, even nine days. temperatures inland will be at their hottest tomorrow. some of the hottest spots approaching 110 degrees. but then staying in the 90s from friday through sunday, even into monday, it's just going to take a while for the heat to kind of release its grip on the entire bay area around the bay. temperatures in the 90s tomorrow, then back to the 80s, but not getting back to familiar territory in the 70s until monday and tuesday even those numbers are still a few degrees above average along the coast, you have the fastest return to normal temperatures for at least one day. on friday, it dipped to the 60s, but then you're back up into the 70s even along the coast by saturday and sunday. jules, my >juliette>goodness. all right, paul, thank you. still ahead, new changes for renewing your license at the dmv that is, if you're a
8:54 pm
8:55 pm
8:56 pm
this may come as a relief for many starting today, drivers in california 70 and older can now renew their license without having to take a written test. reporter kayla mueller explains, it's all part of an effort to speed things up at the dmv. >>now, serving three zero. the current policy of those 70 and over automatically being required to take a written test is no longer in existence. the california dmv says it was never the law, just a policy for seniors to take a written test and that policy is no more. starting october 1st, just walk in and walk out. pretty much these yuba city residents took a trip to renew their licenses today and were pleasantly surprised when they didn't have to take a written test. it's great. i yes, because i didn't have to go stand in line and wait to take the test and all that. so it was it was a lot easier. why would you be punished by having to go retake all the
8:57 pm
time? the california dmv estimates by changing the policy, it will eliminate 50,000 people per month from having to come into the office. however, vision exams and updating photos will still require a visit. the dmv says they haven't found any data. supporting a written test makes already good drivers better. if someone's been driving for 15, 30 or more years and has a good driving record, there's no reason to assume that they don't know the rules of the road. honestly, that does make me a little nervous. the california dmv says those with bad driving records, people who have points from accidents, dui or suspended licenses will still need to take the test. new drivers and drivers new to california will also still be required to take it, but some california drivers aren't so sure. doing away with the written test even for good drivers, is a good idea. i do think it's a little unsafe. i think we need to have that written test at the end of the day >juliette>next, at nine, from a troubled park to a symphony of
