the taskwe thought we were gonna die it was so hot. we were in the buildings, we were so hotit was unbearable. we wanted to stay inside the stores, and it's not even like fun in thereit's been really fun, really cool. the water ride has been a lot of fun and also this thing.there was no need to worry about lines in the hot sun. and water rides were a big hit. it helped a lot and especially now that the sun is going downonce it started slipping out of the triple digits, more folks started showing upthis wind helps a lot and now we can go on more rides and not worry about dehydrationone thing that was prety noticable the first day of horse racing was canceled. that normally brings in an additional 7-10 thousand people per day but keeping the animals and jockeys health

( james ) the senate has released it's version of the obamacare replacement bill. the bill was largely hammered out behind closed doors.. and now at least four gop senators are saying they will not support the bill in its current form. republicans can only afford to have two republican senators not vote for the bill without the support of democrats. reporter scott mclean has what the bill would mean for the future of healthcare. pres. donald trump: i hope we're going to surprise you with a really good plan.after weeks behind closed doors, republicans finally released their health care bill. surprising, for some. a good plan? that's up for debate. sot pres. donald trump: we're putting in a plan today that's going to be negotiated. the closely-guarded draft was released just a week before republicans hope to pass it. sen. mitch mcconnell/-r

majority leader: it's time to act because obamacare is a direct attack on the middle class. -- the bill would phase out medicaid expansion starting in 2021 -- a year "later" than the house bill. it would repeal the individual mandate to actually buy health insurance, repeal obamacare taxes on the wealthy, and defund planned parenthood for one year.republicans can only afford to lose two votes -- since no democrats are expected to support the bill. sen. chuck schumer/-d- minority leader: this bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing.the bill does not include the controversial house proposal that would allow states to decide on protections for people with pre-existing conditions. but... it does allow for a "new" set of waivers that "could" eliminate essential health benefits. majority leader mitch mcconnell is trying to get both moderates and conservatives on board.... with a very ambitious timeline. but it won't be easy.. even with some republicans... sen. ron johnson/ -r- wisconsin: i can't imagine, quite honestly, that i'd have the information to evaluate and justify a yes vote just within just a week. several senators already

promising to oppose the bill in its current form..sen. rand paul/-r- kentucky: we need to negotiate over what's good, what's bad and what we can get into the bill to make it better. in washington, i'm scott mclean. ( james ) and in response to the new health care proposal... former president barrack obama posted a scathing statement on facebook... refrencing the quote "fundamental meanness at the core of this legislation." ( james ) we also have reaction from california's democratic senators. senator kamala harris tweeted: the gop released their health care bill today. let me be blunt: it's worse than we thought. and senator dianne feinstein tweeted: it's clear now why senate republicans kept the health care bill secret. it does nothing to improve health care in america!

( james ) there is a new push by san francisco police to give officers tasers. but ánotá everyone thinks that is a good idea. kron4's dan kerman shows us why this issue is so controversial. (dan kerman)it's been suggested that mario woods may not have been shot and killed by san francisco police had they had the option of using a taser while we'll never know if that's true tasers are back on the table in san franciscosot cmdr peter walsh/san francisco police 12-24what we want to lower is a place where we can use deadly force when someone has an edge weapons and blunt objects, if we have an opportunity to deploy a device like a taser as opposed to going right to a firearm, the potential to save lives is there. the san francisco

police department is before the police commission suggesting these two types of tasers be given to officers so they have an additional less lethal optionsot recently san francisco became the only metropolitan police department to no have tasers 4the san francisco police officers association has long been a supporter of tasers and points out in its review of the sfpd, the u.s. department of justice recommended the city "should strongly consider deploying" taserssot sean perdomo, sf police officers association 103-110in having an extra item like a taser can help and assist us in deescalating situations so we wont have to use force.but opponents point out that tasers are force and can be lethalsotplenty of police can do their job with out a taserkaren fleshmen is with san franciscans for police accountabilitysot karen fleshmen/ san franciscans for police accountability 123-134

who is sfpd being called to serve, a lot of our homeless and mentally ill , people with health problems and we don't want sfpd to come in and tase these people when they are in that situationultimately the decisions lies with the san francisco police commissionsot dr. joe marshall/sf police commissioner 143-153right now its gathering all the information all the facts talking to the experts and getting lots of community input about how they feel about it pro or con and we'll bring that all back to the commission and probably not right away,, but we'll make a decision. ( james ) an unusual video getting a lot of buzz this morning... this after man at the conservatory of flowers in san francisco touched the large and rare "corpse flower".... repeatedly. he was caught on facility's live stream. you can see

the man for yourself here. ignoring the do not touch signs. the corpse flower is a large flower that smells like rotten flesh. at one point the person he's with even snaps a photo as he pulls on the rare plant. while some people online are very upset about the whole thing. we talked to the conservatory who say they'd like the person to come visit again.

by sunny afternoons. ( james ) on one of the hottest days of the year, many people made their way to beaches to cool off. but as kron 4's stanely roberts shows us, hot weather doesn't stop people from behaving badly. when taking a selfie, it's

important to locate the highest point to take said selfie nats: ambiance unless the spot you picked had been designated as a dangerous area and hiking and climbing is prohibited and no two people are not safer than one .. it just means there are more people to rescue nats ambiance when the weather heats up, people often head as far west as humanly possible im at pacifica state beach in the well the city of pacifica the only beach i know with its own taco bell some of the beach guidelines are posted before you hit the sand . but we all know signs in the bay area don't mean much.this is robert and he is picking up items off the beach. i was wondering what it was so i asked him what do you have here .. just plastic bits on the beach that ah birds and fish eat they think it's food . then it cause a fullness feeling in their stomach they don't eat and they die so how does it get on the beach? how

does it get on the beach people just not picking it up after themselves and robert is correct; when i walked on the beach i found cups and broken glass and sand don't mixhere a case of empty bud light cans just left here for someone else to clean up . nats ambiance also, dogs are permitted but they are required to be on a leash . which means the leash must be on the dog and you attached to said leash in fact over near the pacifica pier, another sign reading no glass containers and dogs on leash . guess what. glass containers and dogs off leash .again my concern was more about the trash robert had a very good suggestion if you pick up just three pieces litter every time you surf your doing a favor not only if you surf if you plan on beating the heat at the beach . enjoy the beach but pack in and pack out leave nothing but nature behindoh and never turn your back against ocean . i make sure i clean up after

my self (you are one of the few i don't want to get caught behaving badly you have a good day in pacifica stanley roberts kron 4 news ( james ) and here's a live look outside...san mateo (james) welcome back to
