now, they say so far the power grid has held up even after setting seven new peak demand records just this summer. johnou. the threat of heat and severe storms is far from being over, so let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, john. we are tracking a dangerous severe weather threat for the northeast. but as omar was showing us, this is a very heavy rain setting up overnight across parts of tennessee, leading to some widespread flooding. that has since dissipated. our focus here turning on the northeast, with more strong storms, golf ball-size hail possible, with some of these storms 60-65-mile-an-hour winds also a possibility. meanwhile, dangerous heat continues across a lot of the south west and southern plains, right into early next week, and once again, john, temperatures will be well into the triple digits. >> john: chris, thank you. mayhem broke out in new york city this afternoon when thousands of young people flooded the streets after a popular social media streamer promoted a giveaway. cbs's lana zak reports the n

donald trump tops the list with john f kennedy behind him whose peak net worth you was 1.1 billion. who right now is the richest politician. and right now it's j.b. pritzker who's the governor of illinois, is the richest in america. that interesting family. i believe there are 11 billionaires in his family. i think it's hyatt fortune, the hyatt fortune, if i'm not mistaken and in his race, his last for governor of illinois. there were three billionaires running that race alone. so that's the kind of money we're talking about. the richest senator right now. we believe. and by the way, always have to have a little bit of an asterisk here. politicians make it impossible to know exact how rich they are. they have to they have to report their their finances. but it's very broad ranges. there are things that they don't have to report that that so we believe it's rick scott from florida former governor or current senator would be the member of congress. so you write about a system where the rich get elected and elected rich why do these people even want the job? i think there are a bunch o

john: what do dollar -- with the dollar, the dollar peaked last september. that downtrend is still in place. i think that has got a hold. that is what the charts are suggesting to me. it is starting to roll over. that is starting to go down a bit. he also want to look at other occurrences, the yen, which is slowing down a bit. dani: let us feel like a lot of markets at this moment, maybe it is confusing of data -- like a lot of markets at this moment, maybe it is confusing because of data. where do we stand? john: it really does look like a false break at this point. a sustained breakout around october's highs, that projects to about five and a half percent. that is a bit of a move. where the chart looks to me right now, our bonds are gaining a nice boost. once 4:09 is sustained to the bond side, bombs are going to rally to 375, -- bonds are going to rally to 375. alix: draw the line to the credit market for that, john? john: the credit market is huge. it helps to build portfolios. that means you can become less risk-averse, you can start leaning into higher

john nichols, very quickly, before we move on to foreign? >> we saw peak denial in a republican debate and it is kind of amazing at this late stage in history that it was a, stated come and be, even on the candidates who weren't quite as aggressive as ramaswamy, there was avoidance. in that clip you played, the candidates and neatly tried to go off to other topics to talk about whether they were bought and paid for, to talk about china, russia, rather than focus on the issue that was raised. i think this sums up the republican party at this point. the moderate position in the republican party is avoidance. but i think a very strong position is, very popular position within the party is one of actual denial. you saw a candidate on stage go full board on that, which was quite remarkable, especially at a day when literally the heat index was 140 degrees in milwaukee. nermeen: republican candidates were asked about the word rain -- or in ukraine. >> you not support an increase in funding to ukraine? i would not. i think this is disastrous. it is an invasion ac

it does peak, you get to the point here which is that the john mccain campaign that you ran against theyyou can do this. it can be okay. >> yes. >> john kerry did it, as well. >> but a campaign that is winning, that is going well never changes campaign managers. >> yeah. the difference is that john mccain knew who john mccain was. they were tactical and maybe some strategic issues and john mccain knew who john mccain was and he was comfortable in his own skin. the problem for desantis more than any other is he seems to be calculating all the time what the right political maneuver is in that particular moment. i mean, it took him months to acknowledge that trump lost the election and even then, he didn't really answer the question which is 70% of republicans believe the last elections was fraudulent, and do you agree with that? do you believe that the election was stolen from trump? he never got to that, but he's always dancing around and shifting his messages, and he looks like a politician making calculations. donald trump does not look like a politician. they think he's the leader of a

john holmes reports from mexico pecan. it emerges from a labyrinth of mine. griggs, on mexico's pacific coast time, the island of mexico peak time. we'd come here to see if the legend is true. if this is the long last home of mexico's aspects, the story goes that they travel from an island called us land. what's now mexico city, where they found that their input locals believe the mess go to time, is the outline of the past. the key evidence, the form of the island itself is, well, i mean about that, i'll probably not get in the laser. you'll find the same shape the island has later . and mexico city in what was then tim gnostic, silent it was identical and it was in the middle of a like to, just like, yeah, it's here. it is the distinctive circular shape of my scope, the time we've. it's rhodes, pointing for the full called new points like a great shoot. strikingly similar to here, mexico city, and then like to. and it's 15th century as to how you died. more pre a stone. so i am close to the island with a snake and a heroines. now, this one is a replica similar to the snake and, and equals male, which became the symbol of

john. yeah, today i'm probably not out there much either. it's just not a good recipe during at least those peak afternoon hours. >> when temperatures are going to be at our very warmest. we also in addition to that, have a spare the air alert in effect. look at this view in san jose. it just looks so hazy out there. the skies are clear other than that haze, some of those pollution. just crammed right here in the bay area. now our forecast is hot and dry for the other side of the country. they're looking at some hot but very wet weather now. a category 2 storm. hurricane is made its way inland and he's about to be continuing to really just pummel the gulf coast of florida with continued rain, strong winds and storm surge that could be over 10 feet. so it's going to be something we watch really closely here and leaving with it. torrential rainfall, not just in florida, on up through georgia and eventually up into the carolinas to could be much more of a different story out here on the west coast. just a very strong and stubborn high pressure ridge keeping us hot. and also this northwesterly flow

john, thanks for having me on, hi, jason. i mean listen, we still have inflation even though it has come way off its peak it's stim impacting everyday americans. with that being said, polls all over the place, consumer confidence the highest in two years, gdp is run by the consumer, a household survey that said job satisfaction is near record high. the labor market is the best it's been in forever for the most part, and wages are finally ahead of where inflation is, and most sectors that got hit most by covid like hospitality and leisure. we still have inflation tail and so it's hard out there and we have to keep working hard and make sure, i do think bidenomics will work with infrastructure and manufacturing and we have to tell the story. >> john: despite the rosie report, when asked, biden's approval on the economy, only 36% of people say that they approve of the job that he's doing. and a question that we have around here is as we look toward the debate on wednesday, why aren't more republican candidates seizing on that? >> yeah, i agree with you on that point. but you know, to hear the solution as we need more joe biden telling

john, thank you very much. 10 16, the time. let's go to santa cruz county now where as fire season is expected to peak later in the fall for that area. >> cal fire says they need more hands on deck as they face a hand crew shortage. according to a new report, feuer acres burned in wild fires in 2022 than in 2021. this year's also been another milder fire season. thankfully, although cal fire has invested about 20 million dollars in high infrared cameras that can detect fires early, they still need the manpower to create physical fire lines and to remove any potential fuel by clearing some of these wild ones. the agency says the shortage happened during the pandemic and only money right now to adequately staff about 61 of the 152 hand crews in the state to the minimum level. so they need more people. well, caltrans was unable to fund planned replacement of the bohemian highway bridge in monte rio. in sonoma county county officials announced in a news release that the transportation department will instead provide approximately 25 million dollars in funding to retrofit the bridge to modern seismic safety standards. the state of c

john, is today going to be just as hot as yesterday morning and not quite as hot as yesterday, but >> very similar. yesterday was the peakheat today. we'll take it back. just a few degrees. but still looking at some 90's for inland areas and even some 80's along the bay shore and still on the crystal clear side of things, another view, if you're berkeley hills camera shot on this again because we're used to this time of mourning, seeing this all fogged out, not much of a view at all, but what a difference you can see just how crystal clear does all the way out to the coastline. really not looking at any cloud cover. lot warm, dry air across the region and not a lot of that cool ocean air. now we have been seeing this high-pressure ridge sitting in place contributing to the heat we saw this weekend and are again seeing today. but a little bit of a switch up ahead of us as high-pressure ridge begins to move out. actually going to be seeing some cooler air pushing its way in and by the start of the day tomorrow, you're already going to notice that marine layer slipping in in generally just a cooler trend of weather after th

john, or is that tomorrow? yes. so today is the last one of the real cool temperatures. tomorrow will start that warm up. >> and then we really see temperatures peaking and sunday. so quite the transformation, the past next couple of days. right now, i've been showing you these views of the fog. you can't see much of anything in a lot of our perspectives just because of how dense that fog is and that low visibility that we are seeing across the bay area. but we will see skies clearing up kind of like we did yesterday. that is going to set us up for a nice enjoyable afternoon. you can see that we don't have any rain. it's just the drizzle that's been built up. the high pressure ridge. it's not gone away. it's just scooted to the east and it builds back in gradually as we make our way through the next few days towards friday, having more of an influence into saturday and sunday really starts to influence our weather again. keeping temperatures on the warmer side. that means today. if like the cool feel, you've got to get out there and enjoy will it have the 60's staying in place through the weekend at the coastline? elsewhere in the bay area, though th
