police are looking for a second car who played a role in their deaths, they say rodriguez and shep atreet racing with a grey bmw carrying these 3 suspects inside. >>police say the suspects got out of that bmw to look at the wreckage and then took off. >>victim's family doesn't believe they would have been racing. >>being half a block away from home. they would not risk their lives. random she race going down. makes sense. they had a lot to live for. >>they say they want answers from that second car involved. perpetrators or the suspects just so they can get the full story. we just want to know what happened right now the family is planning a memorial for both of those victims if you have any information about the suspects or that car that they were riding in. >>please contact police in san jose taylkey acon 4 news 6.39. >>an and. >>happening today paper tickets will no longer be available. the powell street bart station this is part of arts move to encourage riders to use clipper cards, bart also plans to phase out paper tickets at the downtown berkeley station later this month. the

here is shep. >> shepard: we begin with breaking news as we wait to hear from president trump minutes from now we are told on a day that could shape the rest of his presidency in the course of the nation. this morning transcript of a phone call released by the white house clearly shows president trump as a foreign leader, the ukrainian president, to do him a favor and investigate his political rival, joe biden, head of the 2020 presidential election. days before asking for the favor, president trump froze hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid for ukraine. we just saw president trump and the ukrainian president meet face-to-face amid the fallout and face questions from reporters.

>> helpful but less and less helpful is -- stupid statement, i watched shep smith say it on fox, it was all over, nbc and cnn, there were 251 mass shootings this year already in america and i said to myself, that is absurd. i went to google i had -- i think it was on the second page that i found an article which knew where the sources run and extreme antigun source and they don't give the criteria for what is a mass shooting. >> right. well, i guess this gets to the bigger issue, something is happening, something is happening in the culture that is at part from bias -- >> we don't have any liable laws. >> is that possible? can that happen? >> "the new york times" which writes -- if you're a public figure as i am, you can say anything about me, it's an opinion protect bid the first amendment. >> right. >> the new york calling trump a racist, protected by the first amendment, where should be liable even though he's the president -- >> when did we cease to have liable laws? >> new york times versus sullivan. >> what year was that? >> i don't remember the year. supreme court decision, new y
