7:03 pm
feels especially important to be together and to be reminded for the support that's here for them in san francisco. this march will continue going into the evening. so if you're headed along market street, you may see some traffic issues in san francisco. alyssa goard, nbc bay area news. alyssa, thank you. not just this weekend celebrations. next weekend is 4th of july, and the south bay is cracking down on illegal fireworks. san jose police confiscating more than 3,000 pounds of illegal fireworks in recent busts. 730 pounds were discovered in a box truck on san antonio court. they arrested those two men there. another 1,300 pounds found on tanglewood court. this comes less than a week after police confiscated another 1,300 pounds at a storage shed on capitol expressway. among the seized fireworks, 50 improvised explosive devices or ieds. that's serious. this all comes as fire departments around the county are sounding the alarm about all the dry hills surrounding us and the dangers
7:04 pm
of illegal fireworks. also this evening, will speaker emerita nancy pelosi run for reelection? a state senator is planning to run if pelosi doesn't. state senator scott wiener of san francisco just filed paperwork to run, but not until 2028. since launching an exploratory committee in 2023, wiener has repeatedly said he would never challenge the two time former house speaker from san francisco. however, if the 85 year old pelosi decides not to seek another term next year, wiener could form a new committee for 2026 and transfer the campaign funds. bottom line he's going to run in 2026 or 2028, depending on speaker pelosi. speaker pelosi already has democratic challenger in 2026. that's next year if she decides to run. 39 year old saikat chakrabarti is founding a founding software engineer at the tech firm stripe and former chief of staff to new york city congresswoman alexandria
7:05 pm
ocasio-cortez. well, governor newsom is suing fox news for 787 million bucks. it's over the reportingf a recent phone call that he had with president trump. the governor claims fox news defamed him, the lawsuit says fox anchor jesse watters lied about that phone call and that fox was motivated to lie and distort on behalf of the president. governor newsom is also seeking a formal retraction and an on air apology from watters. if that happens, he says he will drop the lawsuit. we have requested comment from fox news but have not heard back. well, here we go again. the oakland airport wants to change its name. it now wants to be known as oakland san francisco bay airport. the head of the airport making that announcement today. if approved, this would be the third name for the airport in a little more than a year. this all started last march, when airport officials said they wanted to change the name from oakland international to san francisco
7:06 pm
bay oakland international. at the time, they said the name change would get more people to the airport to fly in and fly out by letting them know that the airport could be a gateway to the entire bay area. but the name change spurred a legal fight with the city of san francisco. the city attorney said the name was too similar to san francisco international sfo, so the city sued, saying the name was trademark infringement. the case is still working its way through the courts. in a letter today, the head ofhe airport said he still believes the previous name does not infringe on san francisco's trademark. but in the meantime, the oakland airport needs a new name. joining us now is craig simon, aviation director for the port of oakland, which oversees the airport. craig, nice to have you on the program. look, i love oakland airport. very convenient. i think i speak for a lot of people, but this is all very confusing. do you understand some of the confusion and frustration for the past several months? yeah, really, what it's about is, is adding a geographical identifier to the
7:07 pm
airport so that folks around the world know where oakland sits. and just like you said, how wonderful oakland is as an airport to use, it's easy to get into quickly through the security checkpoint lines and off on your flight, you know, getting to where you need to be. i think a lot of people agree with you. how did this come to be? how did who made this decision? was it you or a committee to make this third name change here or second name change? that's a great question. i think there's a lot of a lot happened behind the scenes. we did some research. our stakeholders really talked about the importance of having both san francisco bay and oakland in our name to facilitate, really the business development of the airport. this approach hasn't changed. we remain committed to taking the steps to promote the economic growth in oakland and in our region. we've talked to your counterparts over in san francisco, and you know the deal. they're not very happy with this. now, by putting oakland in front of san francisco, do you think that will fly legally? well, really, again, at the end of the day, it's going to be up to san
7:08 pm
francisco. on howow they decideo do this. we're super unfortunate that that at the end of the day, san francisco sued us. and we really think that the importance of putting oakland first, really claiming our rightful place on the bay for over a century is really important. and this is all about moving oakland and our economy forward. it's really up to how san francisco handles it from here. and craig, is this it? now, if it does get approved, we're we're sticking with this name oakland san francisco bay airport and not another variation of that right now. that's really what we're leaning into. raj we really want to take that opportunity to show where oakland sits in that geographical identifier, really kind of claiming our spot in the bay. okay. what happens next if you get this approved? i believe something is happening in july. and then when does this actually take effect? and is there a cost associated with this. yeah. great question. so we go to our board on july 10th for the first reading. and this is an ordinance. so requi two readings. it'll it'll finally be official at the july 24th board meeting. and to answer your
7:09 pm
question related to financial, really it's about $150,000 is what we expect to spend. think of this as more really a digital and a multi-media push. so there's less dollars associated with when that work. and final question for you, you said some of the stakeholders want this to happen. is this like southwest airlines, other airlines or who are these stakeholders? yeah, we've had a number of our airline partners speak out to it. and, you know, southwest has been a proponent of it. volaris has been a proponent of it. we've had a number of airlines, spirit as well, who were were all on board with with making the change to the name. okay. craig, one final time. tell us the official name that you want it to be come july. yeah. so the official name will be oakland san francisco bay airport. okay. craig simon, appreciate your time. have a good weekend. absolutely. oakland, san francisco bay airport, international airport. we reached out to san francisco city attorney david chu. his office sent us a written statement saying they just learned about the name change today and that his office is assessing the next steps. all
7:10 pm
right. let's move on. the new twist in the fight over birthright citizenship. right now, anyone born in the united states is an american citizen, per the constitution, even if your parents are undocumented. president trump wants to change that. today, the supreme court handed the president a partial victory, an amazing decision, one that we're very happy about. in january, immediately after his inauguration, the president signed that executive order calling for an end to birthright citizenship. federal judges blocked the order nationwide. the trump administration argued the judges don't have the authority to rule for the entire country. today, the supreme court ruled in favor of the president. now, we should note the ruling doesn't touch on the legal merits of ending birthright citizenship. that still needs to be decided. we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright
7:11 pm
citizenship, which now comes to the fore. that was meant for the babies of slaves. it wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation. birthright citizenship stems from a case brought by a san francisco man back in 1898. wong kim ark was born in san francisco to parents who were chinese citizens. he was refused entry back into the united states after a trip to china under the chinese exclusion act. he took his case all the way to the supreme court, and he won. joining us now is norman wong, the great grandson of wong kim ark. norman. thanks for being with us this evening. this certainly seems to be a legal victory for president trump. how do you view what happened today? i view this as a setback for the american people. i think birthright citizenship, that the way it's been for the last 127 years has been looked upon the world as a gift to the world that we're disenfranchized
7:12 pm
people under poor conditions could come to the united states and make a life, find their dreams. we have it. a poem on the statue of liberty extolling that that that we welcome them. and i don't understand when we changed our mind. when we don't, when we don't want to welcome anyone anymore and actually cast them out. that's a big difference from the america i grew up in. i know it's really emotional for you and for a lot of people. norman, the president says people are abusing this birthright citizenship. do you think that's the case? well, if they are, find the ones that are are not. round up everyone and. i just don't see that being done. i think it's just really
7:13 pm
sad, norman. polling suggests, and you might you might know this, that americans overwhelmingly want stricter immigration. do you think this is part of that process, what americans want? i don't think americans fully realize what's going on.n. i think they buy ino that. everyone's criminal and that's being rounded up. and i think once they realize these people are no different from their own ancestors who came here earlier, that they might change their mindhen they realize they're basically of the same cloth. you're looking for a better life. sure, your great grandfather is a big part of san francisco history and american history. what did you learn from him and his life journey directly? nothing, because i didn't get to know him. i knew nothing of him. my chinese side
7:14 pm
of the family was torn away from any family history that i knew. and i had to learn this when i was an adult. and i wasn't taught about him in school. that's a picture of my mother and her family going to internment camps in 1942, and she was a victim of an executive order, too. she was japanese, american, and i see now people south of the united states are being treated very poorly. and i think all americans need to stand up for them. we need to treat their, you know, we need to treat all people the way we would want to be treated. and so i think we can find a better way of doing things. norman wong, appreciate your time, appreciate
7:15 pm

7:20 pm
rights movements and milk's lasting impact. milk was the first openly gay man elected to public office in california, and was a san francisco supervisor when he was assassinated at city hall along with the mayor in 1978. mayor moscone mayor lurie says the timing of this recommitment is meaningful. it is a promise that we will stand firm in our values and ensure that the next generation knows who harvey milk was, what he stood for, and why he still matters today. he certainly still matters today. the project design will be completed by the end of this year. construction is set to begin next year and all of this completed hopefully by 2028. the memorial will be built with a mix of local, state and philanthropic funds. our nbc bay area special, pride is a universal will be streaming tomorrow at noon. you can watch on our nbc bay area app, or on roku, or on any of your favorite streaming apps. you can also

7:26 pm
into this gallery is like time travel. the walls displayed photographs captured by music legend sir paul mccartney during the beatles first gbal tour. these are photographs that he himself took during the beatles first world tour in starting from december 1963 through february 1964, when the beatles visited six cities beginning in liverpool and london, followed by paris, and then finally coming to the united states, where they visited new york, washington dc and miami. and we really get a sse of the their ascent to superstardom. and we get to experience it as the beatles are themselves. and so what's particularly interesting, i think, about this show is that it gives us an insider's perspective on what it must have been like to be living at the height of beatlemania and to be understanding the bonds between
7:27 pm
the bandmates that allowed them to really survive a period of unprecedented public attention. they were superstars beyond any level that that the world had known before. and so we get to experience this as their, you know, young 20 something year old boys just figuring out what importance they're going to hold for the world, for our cultural history. and, and we get to see behind the scenes. and so there are some really interesting, beautiful shots where we're privy to the intimate side, you know, the more. getting to see the friendship between the band members beyond their historical value, the exhibition reveals mccartney's artistic eye, showcasing his keen sense of composition, framing and experimentation with blur and movement. he's taking in all of the sounds, the sights, the american culture, and this is also an opportunity for him to really develop as an artist. and
7:28 pm
that's what the exhibition also seeks to do is to show another side of mccartney, you know, he's we all know and love him as the legendary musician that he is, but it also offers a more robust understanding, too, of mccartney's artistic accomplishments, that he really had a keen artistic eye, a good visual eye, and actually is a really good photographer. and these photographs remained largely unseen for decades. it was during the pandemic, while working on an exhibition of his late wife linda eastman's photography, that mccartney rediscovered these images and mccartney really took to it because he had this foundation of his love of photography and his brothers photographer his. then he married linda eastman, who's a photographer. his daughter mary mccartney, a photographer. there's one particular photograph that i'd like to point out is his self-portrait that he made in london in 1963 that has, i feel,
7:29 pm
become sort of emblematic of the exhibition. it's a blurry self-portrait in a mirror, and we see so we see the camera. and i love that picture because it's it encapsulates the idea of the exhibition. it's mccartney with camera in hand, really affirming his identity as a photographer, as an image maker. there's a great scene of fans and reporters chasing the band down. down 58th street near the plaza hotel in new york, where the band was staying, and it really plunges us into the action and gives us a sense of what it must have felt like to be swarmed by all of these, all of these fans and all of these reporters. it really gives us the opportunity to humanize them and understand each bandmate as as individuals, as humans, not as these, you know, you know, superstars that are untouchable, but these, you know, regular guys who who are, you know, figuring this out as they went along. this has been such an exciting experience for
7:30 pm
me personally getting to work on this show. i did not grow up during this time, but really grew up on the beatles music through my mother, who's a huge fan. and you can check out paul mccartney photographs 1963 to 1964 eyes of the storm at the deyoung museum until october 5th. anna's insurance offer $0 rejected. berg. result no orlando, no problem for katy.
