that can reliably fill the 65,000 seat stadium. a feat that will depends on thousands flying or driving to las vegas for the pricey games. the legislature divided with many saying the legislature needs to concentrate on the state's real needs better schools, safer streets and improving infrastructure needed to serve las vegas 2 million residents plus 350,000 daily visitors. >> i'm very concerned about thinking that there's 10 to 22,000 people in the nation going to fly here to see raiders game. >> if you look at most nevadans they don't want a stadium. they don't want a stadium paid by taxpayers. >> it's a tough call. very, very tough call. >>reporter: no vote is expected today. but one could come sometime this week and just in, mega casino owner steve winsted there's no single thing in his entire career that could transform las vegas as much as the arrival of professional sports. tom vacar ktvu fox 2 news.

tom we know that shell nadle son this carson city pushing for the raiders to come putting up his own money. what about the other vegas car seen 0 owners aside from steve win? >>reporter: almost all of them actually at this point in time are for this. when you think about it it's kind of funny because basically what they are doing is inviting 65,000 medical to go to a raiders game as opposed to gambling in their casinos. but they think this is a transformative important thing for the city of las vegas and the county of clark and so they are behind it and they have a lot of sway with the state legislature. >> again that key vote coming up maybe australia said in the coming week or so. tom vacar in our newsroom. tom thank you. >> a little boy hospitalized in boating accident in san francisco over the weekend is now home from the hospital. that 4-year-old boy wasn't breathing when he was pulled out of the chilly katz wattss of the bay. but today an initial at zuckerburg san francisco hospital said the boy has been

knife. the contra costa county da will determine whether they will face hate crime charges. the case is absolutely being examined as a hate crime. >> i hope they gil swift justice. we're hoping the district attorney will look at this as a hate crime, and prosecuted as one. >>reporter: it all started the night of september 25th. khalsa was stopped at a traffic light in richmond. a ford pickup truck pulled up alongside and someone threw a beer can at his car. the two cars pulled up to another red light near i-80. that's where at least 3 men got out of the truck and grabbed khalsa through his window. >> they started beating him in the face. they took a knife his turban got knocked off they ended up cutting off part of part of his hair. >>reporter: he suffered a black eye cuts and bruises and play need to have several root can as. while trying to defend himself his finger was cut and may have to be amputated. police arrested chase little from texas and dustin albarado

from louisiana on suspicion of felony assault. they have since been fired from their jobs with a contractor for the chevron refinery in richmond. in a statement the contract company specialty plant services says it does not tolerate this type of behavior and is appalled by the reported actions. although this incident took place outside of the workplace, the employees involved have been terminated and we are cooperating with the investigation of this matter. >> the bottom line is this is just absolutely unacceptable. it's unacceptable anywhere, but it's particularly unacceptable in the bay area. >>reporter: if the two are convicted of the hate crime they could spend at least an extra couple years in prison. >> hen are you lee in the newsroom. thank you. more scathing personal attacks by the presidential candidates the day after their firey debate in st. louis as some republicans continues to distance themselves from donald trump. today house speaker paul ryan told fellow republicans he won't campaign for donald trump

today showing hillary clinton with a solid lead over donald trump 28 days away from this election. has the trump campaign run out of time? >> nearly. it's at a position now where it would take it's approaching miracle status to win this thing. he'd have to have a tremendous third debate and some things would have to happen in the interim to really change things. as we've talked about a lot it's not about the national polling. i don't look at those necessarily. they are an cater. but when you look at the swing states hillary clinton is doing very, very well and that is going to be the difference. >> one thing that surprised me about the debate last night i was just thinking donald trump was going to come out they would ask him the first question and he would say you know what before i answer that question i just wants to talk about that tape. i want to sincerely apologize not a apology but an honest heartfelt apology. >> not who he is. he went to the locker room banter excuse and then immediately and it was all

prescheduled within the trump campaign to pivot then and go after her and bill clinton. >> mining pence came out today strongly behind donald trump saying i'm staying in this for the long haul. paul ryan said i will not defend donald trump. how big a deal is that for trump? >> i don't think at this point it really matters a whole lot. republicans who support trump are staying with trump irrespective of the position of paul ryan or even pence. and those who like hillary clinton are staying with her. the undecided are where it's at it's obviously starting to break to hillary clinton at this point. >> are we looking at a george mcgovern a walter mondale type of landslide? >> i don't think it's going to be a landslide but if you're looking at the math today, today , it's going to be a significant victory for hillary clinton. that's the platt of it. >> more newly leaked e-mails released today. they kinds of show the tension, the inner thinking of the clinton campaign regarding how she needs to pro with caution

in her public appearances. can that weigh on her at all moving forward? >> had the tapes not surfaced there would have been a huge problem for her. because it shows duplicity it shows a double standard one public standard and a private standard. it shows that she talked one way to international bankers and a different way to american bankers and the american public. it won't matter now because this tape has a life of its own. the trump tape, and others that may follow and that's going to be the story that's going to keep pounding away at this. so he missed his opportunity from that standpoint. >> however julian assange from wixey leaks has said more tapes more documents are going to be released. do you think that that will have an affect at all? >> the october surprise was the trump tape. everybody was waiting around for the october surprise to be all these wixey leaks wixey leaks leaks.

they are damaging if they come without this other tape. that race would have robles stayed at 3 or 4 points. but now it's expanding. it's a different race now. >> we have about 9 days october 19th third and final debate in las vegas. what are you expecting out of that. >> more of the same. i think they are going to go at it. these candidates don't like each other they have plenty of material on each other. i don't think it does the body politic any good to have to watch there it's discouraging. >> i wanted to say that was the same feeling i had. the first especially 45 minutes i just was so disappointed. just felt like watching two kids saying well you did this, yeah but you did this. it just made me think in all honesty what has happened to us? >> well one of the things that's happened to us frank is this thing. social media has changed the way that we're doing things. the instantaneous response to things without really thinking about what we're saying laugh the time. i think it's just brought something to the body politic that may not be the best for

it. and that is it lacks contemplation. >> well we have more to come. >> oh, yes. >> thank you. >> you're very welcome. >> voters who have registered to vote by mail should have their ballots soon. absentee ballots went in the mail today. also in many counties across the state including alameda county early voting got underway. that means if you've registered toto vote you can go to the recommending star's office between now and election day and cast your ballot. early voting in san francisco begins tomorrow. it's certainly good news for tesla, but it may be even better for the city of fremont. the latest from the luxury electric carmaker. they have been here before but it's an elimination game for the san francisco giants. i'm tracking the forecast. it brings rain back to the bay area as we head towards the end of this week. give you the details. ou the details.

the cincinnati reds 3 straight times to win the national league divisional series. then they played the cardinals in the championship series had to beat them three straight times. so in that one particular year they played 6 straight elimination games before eventually winning the world series against the tigers and yes, it is madison bumgarner on the mounds tonight. a guy who's been in situations like this before. >> it's pretty impressive. especially with the young guys we have. they have kinds of followed suit you know pretty easily. and you know it's just really good vibe that everyone puts off here and the mentality that we have. there's definitely no panic. i wouldn't say that at all but we've got a lot of guys ready to show up and play ball. >>reporter: there's nobody you'd rather have on the mound than baumgarner in a situation like this. not only did they win back 2012

they have won 9 straight. wild card game against the pirates that baumgarner pitched and threw a four hit shut out they won an elimination game against kansas city the let's just last wednesday won again. baumgarner pitched a four hit shut out. talk about streaks in elimination games he has thrown 23 consecutive scoreless innings. so that's the streak that baumgarner has going. the giants know you can use all the cliche's you want wax against the wall no tomorrow. all of them they apply tonight. we'll see you live tonight at 10:00. but until then reporting live from at it park i'm joe fonzi bank to you guys in the studio. >> i like all those cliche's. no one you'd rather have on the mound than madison bumgarner it's going to be so difficult to win three straight against the cubs who won 103 games during the season. >>reporter: you said it frank that's exactly right. they were the best team in baseball heading into the post season. we know about the curse in chicago how they are trying to live that down. so a lot riding on it obviously

for cubs. but the giants as we said they have been here before. you can't get to 4 and 5 if you don't win number 3 that's the one they have to win tonight. >> we have seen them climb their way back out of what seemed to be the impossible. can't wait to see what happens later on tonight. joe thank you. let's go over to bill in the weather center. how's it looking for the game out there tonight? >> it's looking perfect. i mean the weather at the ballpark 60s now it will be in the 60s at game time probably right into the middle inning. it will cool off fog out at the coast. that will be back in. we've cooled off as you know. certainly cooled off over what we had yesterday. big changes though coming to the bay area forecast. wife been hearing about it. we talked about it last week. but the jet stream right now is doing something like this. it's going to readjust itself as we head into friday. do something like this. so these systems out here these two in particular are going to have a slot at the bay area as we head into your bay area friday and bay area weekend early next week. so it's going to be a wet

period coming up. at least that's how it looks especially north of san francisco. i should preface that. by the russian river north a significant amount of rain. so that's good. it's a little early for middle october but it's good it we'll get some rain. fog at the cold front right now you can pick it up on the satellite image 79 fairfield 77 livermore. look how much cooler it is today than yesterday. 13 degrees cooler at this hour than it was yesterday. santa rosa. big difference hayward minus 12. minus 14 in san jose. so yesterday was a pretty farm warm day saturday temperatures really drop from here. they are going to stay here. this is where they are going to be for a while. overnight low forecast. upper 40s low 50s. fog at the cold front. little fog around the bay. tomorrow will go a lot as today went which was lots of 70s. maybe a a low 80. there's the fog footprint for the morning hours a lot of it. whole bunch. little aggressive put it into

the sacramento valley. cut that out everything way will be pretty accurate. you got a lot of fog it burns back slowly tomorrow. there is a temperature footprint for your bay area tuesday. look at the yellows. those are 70s. it's a lot of them in the 60s. along the coast. you're back into the 50s when there's going to be fog lingering right there. so a cooler milder day in the bay area forecast. so, the idea being here as we push forward we're get into a wet weather pattern and there would be great if it works out because of course this is the height of fire danger season. oakland hills fire. if we can get a big dose of rain which we will friday sunday monday tuesday that would put the car bosch on a lot of there. >> it looks like the cool weather pattern will stick around. >> the flow will go zonal. they oftentimes result in lots of flooding day after day of rain. we're early enough in the season the jet stream is not that strong have trouble get
