middle class of this country. we have the lowest voter turnout on earth, some of you have noticed a few weeks ago and the french election, most 80% of the french people voted. if we had 80% of the people voting in this country the republican party would be a significant minority. we have got to get people involved. you do that by being honest about the real problems they face in coming up with real solutions. >> kinney see why voted for him? i think what we need to discuss is the trend downward and the things in which we have faith. in which we can depend these have faith in democracy, faith in the truth, we used to have faith in our fellow human citizens and in our public o officials. but we basically lost that element of faith, my high school teacher said we must accommodate changing times but we must cling to principles that never change. one of those principles is the truth. and freedom they won his freedom of speech, and others freedom of religion, two were negative, freedom from want and freedom from fear.t and fr and i think now the lack of freedoms to combat want because of the disparity in income i pointed out

earth. the only way that -- there really is a problem for the middle class, there really is a problem for overloaded medicaid, that has more people on it thanks to obamacare. so you have to address that issue, it's more irresponsible to completely leave it alone and let it collapse in the individual market, particularly obamacare which is coming quickly. but threading this needle is very, very difficult. even mcconnell saying, let's get the temperature, let's see where you are. what people are afraid of, if i vote on these things, are the short-term things that you're giving moderates are going to be expensive and not -- and then you end up with the worst of both worlds situation and you're essentially blamed for the problems that obamacare caused in the first place. >> to the point for anyone watching at home, if you're a house member, the president celebrated your bill in the rose garden, now he calls it mean. mitch mcconnell wanted to do this as a senate deal. you just heard the president there, the president is involved, how involved is the senator by senator, we'll see in the days ahead. the se

you talk about the distance from the earth to the sun, it's actually at the farthest point right now for north america, but we have a lot of direct rays during the middle of the day. looking at ocean beach, you can see we still have clouds along the coastline and temperatures at 66 degrees, so feels like there compared to sunol where it's 80 degrees with mostly sunny skies. we're going to see those temperatures start to feel a little more uncomfortable. whatever you have to do outside, try to get it done early. so now we're getting to that limit where some of the valleys are really starting to warm up. now as the 7-day forecast comes up on the bottom of the screen, you'll be able to see how hot it is going to be over the next few days. right now in oakland and palo alto, it's 68 degrees. 75 right now in santa rosa. as we look at today's high temperatures, for the south bay, east san jose up to 97 degrees. gilroy will see a high of 101 degrees today. we'll see more widespread triple digits for the interior valley and the east bay. pleasanton up to 104 degrees. fill mo filmont looking at 103. napa will be up to 101 degrees today. i want to show you the t

earth, i would say, is that you do not jump to conclusions. you don't attack the mayor of london who is going through the middle of this.ly -- he had three tweets i think were completely off. one that was on. the one about the travel ban which is the first tweet out of the box. instead of offering condolences and help. second attacking the mayor of london. and the third being defensive about guns saying, you know, you notice it's about knives. of course one might say if the people had ak 47s, a lot more people would have been killed. nonetheless, those instincts of his are totally off the mark. >> let me ask you, bill, because one of the interesting things that the governor just pointed out is we don't know who this is. a lot of terrorists, i think maybe entirely the terrorists that struck london and manchester in the last -- previous month. we don't know about this account. they were nationals. they were british. and the truth of the matter is, home grown terrorism is a bigger threat here in the united states, at least so far, and so far in the uk it has been. the travel ban wouldn't necessarily have impacted any of th
