. >>> so what do dirk durbin, richard bloomenthol, sherrod brown, barbara boxer, and henry waxman haven common? they're soup ud. i'm sure you knew that, but now it's conclusive. they want to ban e-cigarettes at the capitol. they feel they're no different than regular smokes. notice i said feel and not think. yet they have no research to back the garbage up. they're exposed others may be exposed toiva vapor, water vapo. they're terrified by a substance found in fog. they should also ban nicotine gum, too, which are nontobacco delivery systems that replace deadly smoking. these morons claim it's all about protecting health, but they're too dum to see that e-cigarettes are doing that. ban them, and people will smoke the real thing. maybe that's the point, henry waxman wants me dead. of course, their cowardly defense will be about perceived danger. that way you don't have to deal with real facts. hence our villain is second-hand water vapor, mist. i guess it's time to rethink teapots and saunas. better not steam your pant suit, ms. boxer. think of the children. forget about second hand spo

with california and barbara boxer on his side, this time brown may just get the upper hand. one fact is clear, if congress weighs in the way the republicans want, the state will lose its ability to control the flow of water. >> we'll watch this one closely. thank you very much, larry. >>> still ahead here at 6:00, bigger than just health care, the failing grade for october that may shake up the economy. >> and a boost for the bay area. proof women are finding a new niche in silicon valley and it's paying off. >>> pedestrian and make safety, a big problem in san francisco. i'll tell you what groups are doing to tackle the problem. blach . >>> it's happened again, another pedestrian killed in san francisco. a driver hit a man trying to cross a busy street. it's a growing problem in the city, not just for residents but also for visitors. it happened today on sunset boulevard and while police were on the scene there, city leaders were on the other side trying to come up with a plan for better pedestrian and bicycle safety. cheryl hurd is on the scene with details, cheryl? >> rep

dianne feinstein, barbara boxer, nancy pelosi back in washington, democrats dominate the table. >> in general, it's a blue state and getting bluer. >> it's hard in california with the union money to fight that machine. >> reporter: the curse for democrats is that the jerry browns, gavin newsoms and nancy pelosis aren't going anywhere anytime too soon. >> it is like a game of chess. so if nobody is moving, if kamala harris isn't moving then nobody else moves up. that's you're seeing the good people waiting and saving their powder keeping it dry for the next election. >> reporter: as for the attorney general's race, what are the chances of a republican jumping in? >> i have personally spoken to two candidates who have expressed interest. >> reporter: what keeps them from jumping in? >> money. >> reporter: in the meantime, what are you going to do if you don't have an opponent? >> probably sunbathe.

. >>> senator barbara boxer speaking out today in san francisco demanding that congress raise the minimum wage. the congresswoman spoke at the commonwealth club this afternoon. she says the decline of the country's middle class has led to dangerous levels of inequality. >> we also will fight with everything we have to raise the minimum wage. we owe it to our working families at least to get back to the power that minimum wage had in 1968. >> shiu also called for legislation to extend long-term unemployment benefits. >>> the recall of close to 9 million pounds of beef from a sonoma slaughterhouse expanded across the u.s. and into canada today. walmart and several major supermarket chains have recalled frozen items such as some hamburger patties and hot pockets because they contain beef that's unfit for human consumption. in an exclusive report tonight at 11:00, we uncover what kind of cows were being processed at rancho feeding corporation. we'll tell you why some high- end meat producers are crying foul for being swept into the recall and why food products containing the tainted meat coul

offices from a super majority in the legislature to the governor's office to diane feinstein, barbara boxer and nancy pelosi. >> in general, it's a very blue state and it's getting bluer. >> it's hard in california with the union money to fight that machine. >> democrats in general is that people like jerry brown, gavin knew some and nancy pelosi aren't going anywhere either so it is like a game of chess, a log jam preventing new democratic talent from coming forward. >> where do all the republicans go. >> that's why we sat down and asked and they say some of it boils down to money. >> how crazy is it in a state this big that the attorney general has clear sailing without any republican opposition. she is not alone. lieutenant governor, treasurer, controller, republicans mia. is that good for the voters? >> wait. let me tell you why they are mia at the moment. we have moved away from party preference to candidate preference without reference to party. that was a crazy idea. the republicans pushed it thinking it would help them and it has harmed them. they overplayed their hand. >> a couple

eric swalwell had his pay withheld and barbara boxer donated an undisclosed amount of money to the red cross. dianne feinstein gave $10,000 to the consortium of catholic academies. >> if you are headed out the door maybe hold on. let's talk about with weather and traffic. it's gotten quite dangerous out there. let's join christina loren with the latest. >> good morning to you. yeah, it is treacherous out there this morning. this is not a typical storm system, we're getting slammed with heavy rainfall right in the heart of the morning commute. right now we're starting to see a little improvement at the immediate coastline. as i zoom into this batch of moisture you can see the tri-valley getting hit hard. you find the ponding, the flooding the next couple hours and even in the south bay it's still coming down heavily. we want to bring in mike inouye and check your roads. >> that radar shows us, the tri-valley, 680 corridor. over here we have wet roads for the south bay, a slowdown, the arrow marks where the camera was. north 87 shows the build. southbound better news, peggy gave you that

there the democrats led by barbara boxer, and she's the chair of the environmental protection committeedianne feinstein, they have a different approach. they would say, look, drought relief in terms of speeding up environmental reviews of water projects, giving the state and federal officials more flexibility in moving water and $300 million for water conservation projects. so clearly there is just little disagreement here. they're going at these things from two different ways. >> you mentioned the $11 billion bonds that could be in the offing. we'll see what happens. but explain to our viewership, we live next to an ocean. why is it so difficult this notion that-week-o we could max the water that's right next door. >> desal nation works. san diego has been working on one. there was talk of one near santa cruz. but what tends to happen with these plants, first of all, you've got to find a place where people will accept it. there's all kinds of things that go on. water being piped in and piped out. the environment changes. and while everybody wants to see it, nobody wants it in their bac
