so i think we can all agree that rick caruso is just bullshitting here.hen he gets pulled over by the cops, he's not like "hola, officer, what is the problem, signor?" what's funny is when they came to america, italians weren't considered white but then they fought for like a hundred years to change that. and let's be honest, any debate was definitely over by the time the "mario" trailer came out last week. because chris pratt is out here like "it is i, mario." [laughter] so the senate races are heating up, the mayoral races are heating up, but it turns out, even in the animal kingdom, my friends, elections are being fought tooth and nail. >> an update on fat bear week, the popular bracket that has been rocked by a big cheating scandal. so each are people vote on the beef he has to bear in alaska's katmai national park before hibernation season. the national park tweeted "like bears stuff their face with fish, our ballot box too has been stuff." there were thousands of fake boats forbear 747 come in but even with the fake boats removed from 747 weighed in

less h best thing to elect rick caruso. he will go in clean up city hall and start to fight crime.he curtain to say exactly how they are. these are the same people making decisions to put unarmed ambassadors out there. it will do nothing cause more crime to go up. it will be clearly unsafe. i will say this for a year. you don't come to los angeles, we can't keep you safe. like flury martinez. they are in it for themselves. not interested about public safety. we need another chief. we need rick caruso another chief that can fight crime instead of somebody that lost hiss spine two years ago during 2020. we need strong leadership here. elizabeth: ranking of the nation's most dangerous cities, california had 29 cities make the national list. talking san bernardino, oakland, los angeles, are ranked high. 182 u.s. biggest cities on crime risk. natural disasters and other safety issues. that doesn't look food for california at all? >> no this is the same leaders throughout california who are asking for defunding the police. we saw how that went. you know, when some of these city leaders u

and both the candidates rick caruso and karen bass got emotional tearing up during our interview several. uh caruso got emotional talking about hundreds of kids that he sponsored over the years have now gone on to college because of some of the funding that he's done of their education and bass scott especially emotional as you would understand. when talking about the loss of her daughter who died in a car crash suddenly in 2006. here's some of that. family was devastated by tragedy . when amelia then 23. her husband, michael, were both killed in a car crash on the 405. i remember that day, you know, like it was yesterday, and it's i don't even know how to describe it, but it's like a personal earthquake and people will tell you in time it gets better, and it's just not true. a traumatic loss like that never goes away. emotional for you to see those kids workers what goes through your mind when you see him? yes. it's not sadness. it's literally tears of joy. that. these families work so hard. the moms and dads are living. and working on the skid row area. normally in the garment district

might be is that the president's endorsed the city council, the mayor's race, karen bass, over rick caruso. newsom has been quiet. all of these things suggest that maybe newsom thinks the president is stealing his thunder, something like that? >> as we talk about the midterms here, not just for former president trump but president biden, there's probably going to be some movement. when do we expect either of those two to say okay, i'm jumping in the race in 2024? >> well, that's a very good question. the president has said he's not going to say anything until after the election. that freezes everybody else. every other possible contender. in the case of newsom, he's got two obstacles. one is just stay. the president says one term is enough. the other factor would be kamala harris. and the governor's not going to deal with her. so newsom's second obstacle is harris. she has to falter in some way, then perhaps he gets in. remember, newsom's only 54 years old. he's got a long arc here in terms of his political life, and he could easily wait to 2024, 2028, who knows. ego might be a reason, str

. >> she was sucking up to him big time, she is running again another democrat, rick caruso who is gavinal good friend. i don't think he wanted to get involved with l.a. politics. >> because you know why, caitlin, they mat hate him in los angeles, they despise gavin newsom they can't stand him, they think he is full the hot garbage to your point he does not have a spine, does not stand up for the right issues, he is about how high he looks and smells but not how the state is functioning, if he were we would have been serious about homelessness 6 years ago. >> he would, he has a presidential candidate run he is thinking about, i guess or everyone is talking about, put it this way here, has been hard on the democrats lately. aggressively they did not aggressively counter act the g.o.p. on you know top political po p topics like aabortion and likely issues, i don't know what he is doing in future if he thinks he has a chance to run for president, right now democrats don't have anyone that will be around in 2024, that can go against the republicans. kennedy: if gavin newsom is your best bet,

rick caruso, she said was white. >> this question goes for the both of you.can woman or white man. >> i'm italian. >> italian american. >> thank you. >> jesse: i'm going to put you on the spot, bream. i want a yes or no. are italians white? >> there's a big internet argument over this. >> jesse: that's not a yes or no. >> i go down a rabbit hole, because there's a big fight whether italians are latin, and the difference between latin and latino. so much nuance here, i'll get into trouble. the way that you frame the question i don't think was fair. >> jesse: yeah. that's a setup. >> jesse: that wasn't a fair and balanced moderator there. >> i agree. >> jesse: first up, a lot of places to find love. the gym, the bar. what about the grocery store? apparently there's symbol i can messages for single people to use if they're looking for a partner while grocery shopping. like, bananas facing up in the cart means you're single. what about a pineapple? >> if it's an upside down, you're a swinger. i come with props. i didn't know i'm sending dangerous signals all over

martinez stepped out as council president is probably closer to rick caruso, the white former republicanublic safety than she is to karen bass. you know, the conflict that was coming in the city council was between the forces who believed, like caruso, the city is losing control of public spaces and more -- including gil sa diya. th fissure was coming. >> this week an essay in the "new york times" argued this mess in los angeles points to trouble for the democrats with midterms right around the corner. maybe expounding on the thought you are about to elaborate on further. you see it not just involving democrats there in los angeles but this may be an indicator of problems from coast to coast involving the democratic party? >> well, there are several different problems in that great piece by the great tom ed sell. democratic party is much more of a coalition than the republican party. 85% came from whites. white christians are still two-thirds of the republican party. the democratic party is one-third white christians, one-third nonwhite christians and one-third those who are secular. man

it was, i support rick caruso because he will look at for latinos. what is the implication there? the african american woman won't? the african american woman who has building black and brown alliances for four decades? in 1990 in south l.a., when the latino population was very small, i started an organization called community coalition, it was consciously built as a black and brown organization, that organization today is 32 years old and we have raised a couple of generations of african american and latino youth who know their history. they know the history of the black population, the latino population, and our history of solidarity with each other. they also understand that if you do basic math and bring people of color together in california and l.a., we dominate, they understand power. >> yes, i want to tell you we will definitely be watching the mayoral race. i would love to have you back after you win the race. should that be your faith. because, you have worked in various capacities, you worked in the state legislature, you worked in federal government, and it looks like

she is a democrat, she's in the middle of a tight runoff with developer, rick caruso, and congresswomanesswoman, thank you so much for joining us. why have things gotten worse, why is crime and homelessness worsened worse in los angeles now? >> let me just tell you, homelessness really exploded a couple of years ago right before the pandemic and certainly through the pandemic. but you know what? i just don't even imagine, i can't even imagine what l. a. would have been like if we did not have the american rescue plan, so all of the resources around covid allowed us to do an experiment that i hope we keep, which is doing master leasing of hotels and motels release out all the rooms and you put people who in the hotels and motels and we have been able to get thousands of people off the streets and this needs to be expanded tremendously. >> what is the percentage of individuals who are on the street because they were evicted, they lost their jobs, versus those who are battling emotional, psychological, and mental issues? is there any breakdown? >> yeah. there is a breakdown. i think if you

both in congress, karen bass, is currently in the lead against republican suddenly turned democrat rick carusos's next mayor. put yourself in her shoes. if she gave you a call and asked for advice. the city council president stepped down. others have not. if you were advising karen bass, what would you tell her to do should she become mayor of los angeles knowing there may be members on the>> representativey doing, she put out a statement today. she's called for the resignation. but more than that, she's gonna be on that, and said, look, tomorrow, i am gonna convene a group of angelenos, to figure out how we can all come together and work in the best interest of every community in the city. that is fundamentally what you need to do as a mayor, and that's what people need to hear during campaigning, that you're gonna be a mayor for everyone. the good news is, karen bash has a history of working across black and brown lines. she's very well-known in the latino community for years, she's worked to bridge that sometimes, you know, tricky divide that can exist there. it's also true that, at least,

president seeming confident about bass beating businessman rick caruso , who became a democrat earlieryear, mr mayor and soon to be miss mayor. when biden first landed at l, a x he gave bass quite the hug and kiss. what is this embrace literal embrace from the president mean for you ? what it means for me is that the president is the head of the democratic party, and he understands that there is only one democrat in this race and bass visited construction site for what will eventually be the end of metro's purple line in west l. a this project in part funded by president biden's bipartisan infrastructure law. instead of infrastructure week being a punchline under my predecessor infrastructure decade is a headline on my watch who's who of california democrats on hand to celebrate that law and the union workers employed here always love seeing hard hats. collins it's surreal to meet the president at work. have him here on this specific project that we're part of, but to also be investing money into future projects that we will likely be a part of this visit. coming on a week were leaked

recent polls show bass ahead of businessman rick caruso. but that race is tightening. of course, election day is 3 weeks from tuesday. switching gears here to talk a little bit about whether it's 3.15, on monday afternoon. taking a live look at the golden gate bridge. we've got blue skies. a little bit of cloud cover out that way. kyla grogan standing by with a look. hey, there are you ready for a warm-up know else? i like the cold weather. ok lie? i want i'm ready for beanies and boots. >> well, you know, with just couple days just couple we'll be back at it. so all right, let's get into it. we'll talk about the weather. let's start with current temperatures right now. the first look at this gorgeous picture of the golden gate. so pretty today, a little bit of haze out there, though, right? you can see a little bit of haze and some high clouds currently 70 degrees in san francisco. 71 in oakland worried about 74 in san jose livermore upper 70's mid 70's in concord and santa rosa. so it's a 70's kind of a day across the board. air quality wise just wanted to point out

give me a quick sense if this has any effect on that hotly contested mayoral race between -- and rick caruso short answer is it's absolutely having an effect. it's all anyone's talking about. but slightly more -- sorry, slightly more annoying is that it's too soon to say how it's really going to affect the race. there are kind of two theories. one, that it will really help get people see her as kind of a coalition builder and in this moment, when we want a coalition builder. the other theory is it's great for caruso because he's an outsider who's talked about cleaning up city hall. and if ever there was a moment to be turned off the city hall establishment, this is it. i think we will really see the election, it's only three weeks away so i think we will see over the next week, we will get another -- how it's actually cutting. >> that makes sense, maybe we'll have you back, julia with. because you are from the wonderful l.a. times. thanks so much for your time. >> thank you so much for having me. >> yeah and that will do it for me on this edition of alex -- reports. i will see you tomorrow a

but in addition to homelessness and crime, rick caruso, for one, has been talking about corruption and his reaction today, essentially he was confirming the fears of voters that you can't trust politicians that this is the kind of backroom deal that they make. remember this meeting. greg was about redistricting and how to redistrict so that latinos would have an advantage in electing officeholders. and so this will definitely impact the mayor's race. but it's more a question of who can come out looking more. upset and more righteous if you will, and maybe convinced the undecided which are a huge portion of the electorate, still a month out, we'll continue to watch this story unfold and we know you'll be covering it for us. phil phil shuman in l a. for us. thank you. the navy's blue angels precision flying team took off from oakland airport this morning after wrapping up fleet week an estimated one million people visited the city yesterday in hopes of seeing the final airshow, but the thick fog forced the team to cancel its performance. the blue angels were able to fly on saturday. the
