>> he played well of course the raiders defense did not so it's kind of hard to see how good he is really but it was good for the kids. 22 years old, something like that. >> a text from brett favr. he wears number four because the former quarterback both went to the same clenl, southern miss and then he got a phone call, pretty cool. >> quarterback controversial. >> yeah, i think so. i'm talking about jimmy gfrjts. >> we have a good show. i have popcorn ready for both of your interviews we have an election coming up soon. we're in the final stretch before election day on tuesday. early voting undan the june primaries. turn out seems to been on track with the 2016 election. election officials predict a voter turn out of about 70%. at the top of everyone's ballot, the race for california governor. the two top candidates are each

on bus tours today trying to shore up final votes over the weekend. alice sa herring ton live here with the closer look. >> election day is tuesday and candidates and volunteers with different campaigns are making this final push. i don't know about you but i've been getting texts on my phones from volunteers with the different campaigns asking for my vote. the lieutenant governor surprised trick or treaters on halloween. he greeted voters and kids in sacramento dressed up as batman. his opponent john cox just kicked off bus tours and they're traveling throughout the state to earn more votes. they are both in southern california today. cox mrams politicians and interest groups for maybing california too expensive. new many is focus on education and standing up to president trump. both candidates spoke earlier this week and tackled the problems of homelessness.

>> i think aristotle was right, you can't live a good life in an unjust society. there's injustice when you're stepping over people on the street and sidewalks. 24 percent of the nation's homeless in the state of california. >> i'm focused on getting people a house they can afford. rent they can afford. gasoline they can afford. people in this state are struggling. they want a debate about how they're going to live an affordable life. >> the most recent poll puts democrat gavin new sm ahead of john cox. the lawsuitest numbers were just released wednesday. new sm has 58% of voter support. also spend new sm has spent mil there's a lot of stake, democrats need to win 23 additional seats to take control of the house and two additional seats to take control of the senate. s to ma stops in 8 state ts ahead of midterms. g me now in the

a number of topics we want to hit. taxing big business in san francisco, money generated goes to the homeless programs out there. where do you see this going on tuesday? >> we don't know. this is going to be a great marker for where san francisco is. how much is the city changing? is it willing to tax the wealthiest corporations to help its biggest problem? everybody says san francisco is changing. we'll see if there's a tech block of voters to vote against this. >> when it comes to statewide, prop 16 the gas tax repeal. governor brown will be there at 10:00. what do you think? there's a lot of money in this. >> yes, i think this is overturn supposed to put up money to help with this. it was supposed to turn out republican voters and it's not doing the job it was supposed to do so i think it's going down. >> we saga vin new sm there in

his batman costume. i know he's a dad in good spirit but all it takes is a screen shot. >> that's a bad meme waiting to happen. new sm said the thing yous do for a vote. he's up 18 points, he doesn't need to dress as batman. >> cox is predicting a surprise on election day. is he going to get it? >> the surprise is that it might be less than ten points. he's not going to win this. very unlikely he's going to win this. he just doesn't have the name recognition here and grass roots support and doesn't have the money in his campaign. >> new sm will be down in southern california in these final days campaigning for other candidates. we heard alyssa talk about the seats that need to be flipped. orange county seems to be a hot spot. that's a topic across the country nationally. >> there are four congressional seats that could be flipped. they're republican held now. the democrats have been at this

for more than a year. i was down there a year ago it all depends on who turns out but they have done a lot to get people to turn out. there's tons of volunteer energy from the los angeles area just like from here going to central valley. >> have you seen that number increase? ? >> here's what our prediction is. of the 7 house seats that the democrats are targeting throughout california, the over and under are two that will be flipped. one definitely in orange county and maybe another in orange county and maybe one in the central valley. >> you talk about the voter turn outs. california known for the midterm blues, not getting that many people to the polls. high numbers in contra costa county. >> i don't know, they're thinking about 56 or so% which would be incredible but still,

you're leaving more than 40% of the voters on the sidelines compared to 24% a year ago or the last midterm, it's an improvement on that. still pathetic. nationally, florida. there's a lot of tension not just on the governor's race but the senate race between bill nelson and rick scott. you say also georgia is a big one. >> georgia is a more significant race. that's the race where america could see its first ever african american woman as a governor anywhere in the 200 plus history. oprah is campaigning. i don't know how much that's worth but it definitely shedz a bigger spotlight on the race. stacey abrams is the democrat there. brian kemp is the sitting secretary of state. the interesting thing there is if there's voter problems. the secretary of state would be in charge of his campaign so that's weird. >> the vice president was also there campaigning for the republican candidate.

when it comes to the biggest issue people are taking with them to the polls, do you think it's immigration? seems like president trump is putting his chips in. the caravan and the invasion. the soldiers helping out border patrol agents or is it something else? >> that's what he's hoping it will be. he spent the last several days fear mongering and using false statements. to be honest, he's been very successful at it. the republicans looking very poor. they look like this is going to be a blue wave and a lot closer. he's been a one man get out the vote machine for the republican party and he's made these races closer by appealing to these very base intinths in the voters. i think it's very close. pelosi said of the top 60 races nationwide, it would be decided around 20,000 votes in total. some might not be 500 or 1,000

votes. so it's not over tuesday. it might be over sunday or the next tuesday or a couple weeks later. we'll be back here for weeks. >> senior political writer for the san francisco chronicle, always a good time. thank you. look forward to next week. back to you gasia mikaelian. we have been asking you throughout mornings on two, what's the biggest issue encouraging you to vote in the midterms on tuesday. 69% of you say it's the balance of power in congress. 10% say it's an initiative measure. 13% say it's a county or city leadership. >> frank is live in jacqueline square this morning asking people what they think. >> all right, sal good morning. it's our civic duty to get out and vote come tuesday morning, election day. but sadly a lot of folks do not. however, we talked to people

here not only in oakland but alameda and they are not only registered but highly motivated to hit the polls. >> what's motivating me to stop the donald trump madness. >> yeah. >> that's pretty much it. >> you want change. >> i want change. . >> plain and simple. >> yes, i want some honesty and reasonable discourse. >> do you think america finally feels that one vote does make a difference? >> i think a lot of people still don't. frankly turn out is still low, especially among younger people so i hope that changes. >> i think we're so divisive now so everybody is so hateful and so just at each other's throats. i want to see more balance. . >> well, it seems californians are very motivated to get out and vote. eigh that's 19 million out of 25 million.

the big question now is those registered actually going to the polls come tuesday morning? coming up in the next half hour at 9:30 you're meeting a guy by the name of matty greg who is going to quit his job on election day and run over 5,000 mile as cross the country meeting people along the way because he's about to jump into politics. quite a story and journey, you're meeting him coming up shortly. until then, i'm frank malicoat back to you. we're coving major races up until election night. it starts tuesday night do join us on wednesday for mornings on two as we have your overnight developments and bring you updated results. the president dfdz his choice of words. why his decision to use certain terms is necessary in this political climate. you could save energy

on tuesday california voters will decide if we should have daylight savings time this year round by voting on proposition seven. the supporters say changing the clocks causes lost sleep and productivity. critics say changing daylight saving time would be confusing and a waste of taxpayer money. if it passes it would require the approval of congress. coming up, the early days of the aids crisis here in the bay area saw a group of nurses in san francisco ban together and do what has never been done before in this country. film maker, next.

this sunday the documentary film five bee will have its world premier at san francisco's castro theater. it tells the story of nurses who back in 1983 cared for those who were suffering and dying from what we now know was the aids virus. >> we record their death here. through the end of 1983, 24

patients. so then in 1984, 117 patients. >> the story of the first medical unit in the country exclusively designated to treat those dying of aids ab tells the compassion and care given to those faced with a mystery oakland film maker joins me now to talk about your film, thank you for being here. >> you grew up in the bay area and you were very young at the start of the aids crisis. what drew you back? >> the nurses themselves drew me back to the story. we're talking about a group of people who in the early days of the crisis when the source of the disease was still unknown and the consequences of contracting it was death, ran towards the danger when everyone was running away. they were so driven by mission. not save lives because they knew that wasn't possible but simply to provide care for

people who were spending their last days and weeks in the hospital and to put themselves at risk to do that was an inspiring story i felt drawn towards. >> one of the nurses said in the films he had nightmares he would contract a mystery illness and bring it home to his children. did they know they were making a big personal act feis or only now do they realize what they did in their relative youth? >> they were so driven to do something and contribute to these -- these were nurses that providers but activists and people who are upset about what they were seeing in hospitals about the ways that aids patients were being treated or not. that sense of mission and outrage i think supercreeded any personal considerations for their own health. >> there's been thankfully huge medical leaps in the treatment for those with hiv and aids. back in the early days you're

talking about a group of nurses who touched their patients, bathed their patients -- something as simple as hand lotion could make the difference between a good and bad day for these men who had very few days left. >> that was part of the story that moved me the most. this act -- the idea human touch could be an active radicalism and these nurses understood the power of media even in the early days and anme were conscious about touching patients with d holding them and demonstrating to people outside of the hospital and bay area that it was okay to touch people with aids. that was transcending their role as healthcare providers and made them leaders in aids care. >> back in 1983 not everyone had a phone that took video of everything. how did you find this incredible footage?

>> i have to give credit to our research team that did a tremendous job coming through the basements of news stations like this one and finding tapes that hadn't hasn't been touched for three decades and in some cases we had to restore tapes by baking in them and not sure how they restored it back to condition but we were able to it was very imperative from my point of view that we had to ha millimeter film shot to place viewers inside the halls of san francisco general during that time to make an immersive first person experience. >> nurses also had a political message back then but they weren't holding campaign signs or rallying. tell me about the work they did. >> the message was that human compassion is the most courageous human valley of all. these were nurses again who

didn't have any illusions about the difficulty of the disease that they were facing. these were not nurses trying to safe lives. they were providing human compassion at a time when there was a great deal of bigotry and bias against this community of people. these nurses were not gay protecting their own -- they were straight nurses, gay, white, black, female and male. these were people whose own backgrounds didn't have any bearing on their mission to help people and provide care. >> i've seen your film and it's incredible. it fills in the holes and questions i had as a youngster growing up in the bay area knowing something was going on but we didn't realize it until decades later. congratulations. the film is 5b. more information to get to sunday's screening at the castro theater in san francisco, you'll fand information on how to do that

in the mornings on 2 tab on ktvu.com. also on the mobile app. congratulations and thank you. coming up next here on mornings on two, no jimmy, no cj no problem. more on nick mullins historic night and the 49ers big 33-43 win. one bay area man is quitting a skwlob to make a california's public schools rank 44th in the nation. 44th. i'm marshall tuck, i'm a public-school parent, and i know we can do better. in the public schools i led, we got more funding into our classrooms, supported our teachers, and we raised graduation rates by 60%. that's why president obama's education secretary endorses me. we've done it before. now, let's do it for every public-school student in california. i'm marshall tuck. i'm running for state superintendent.

four years ago, we rejected marshall tuck and his billionaire backers for superintendent of public instruction. but they're back. the corporate billionaires and their handpicked candidate, former wall street banker marshall tuck. tuck's billionaires have spent over $25 million distorting tony thurmond's outstanding record on education. all because they know tuck shares their agenda: diverting funds from our public schools into their corporate charter schools. the same agenda as trump and betsy devos. protect our public schools. say no, again, to marshall tuck. you may just listen to this in the morning. the ships coming and going.

>> the play action there, third string quarterback replaced that injured cj beth unphased by his prime time debut. he had the best stated by a quarterback making his nfl debut since 1970. he tossed for 1600 yards. george had more than 100 yards including the nice one handed 72-yard catch and set up a five yard touchdown. unblooeable grab. m jury. the raiders sent to the bench in the fourth completing 16 passes before leaving the game. it's just the second win of the season but the 49ers very fired up after the guam. the team shared this video from the locker room. >> when we won against the cowboys, we came in the locker room and said it's preseason, why we play the game. 0. >> number four, the center of circle.

nick mullins now 1-0 as a starter. scott reece has more post game reaction from levi stadium. >> the battle of the bay wasn't much of a battle thanks in large part to nick pull lynns who made the whole starting quarterback thing look easy throwing 262 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first nfl game. >> i'm here for a reason and it's my opportunity to prove i can play. the biggest thing is attack your job and worry about what matters and what mattered most tonight was the team and how we played. we had seen them in the preseason do what he did. so see him go out there and duplicate that in such a big stage. it's impressive. >> i'm proud of the guy. he worked hard and i saw him out, he worked hard every single day. i knew he would come out here and perform well. . >> mullins will presumably have another chance to shine in prime time a week from monday when the niners play the new york giants. the raiders meanwhile clearly

not ready for prime time, still john gruden saying after the game he plans to build a championship team. he did not say how long that might take. 0. the 49ers have a weekend to saver the blow out victory, the game may likely be the final battle of the bay as the oakland raiders prepare to move to las vegas. allie rasmus reports from levi stadium. >> some of the buzz about what happened on the field before kick off has to do with this take a look, showing a 49ers cheerleader neiling during the national anthem. during last night's game at levi stadium we believe this is the first tomb we have seen a procheerleader doing this as a major league sporting event. the rest of the cheerleaders were standing and the cheer lead cheerleader's back is turned. we're waiting to find out more about her.

we don't know how long she's been with the team or whether anyone on staff knew ahead of time she would make this statement. we talked to bay area residents this morning to get their thoughts on it. >> it's wonderful. unfortunate what happened with colin kaepernick. so you have that choice to protest. >> she's an american citizen and she has that right. freedom of speech if she wants to do that. >> she's on the job and representing a company like the 49ers. there might be repercussions. >> we asked representatives for clarification, what is the company's policy when it comes to people who aren't football we're still waiting to hea took a knee during the national anthem. in santa clara, allie rasmus, tk vu fox two news. there was another issue last night in the game. happened in the stands. a heavy police presence
