12:17 pm
circus. first of all, how did that happen? >> thanks, roberta. it's such a pleasure to be with you. many years ago, i was wanting to be on broadway, and it was in new york. hoofing it, trying to get a job. i got a gig with the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey circus, and i ended up working as the ringmaster for them for five years, which was an extraordinary experience. this happened over the september 11th years, and it was an incredibly empowering experience to feel at the center of the ring of this amazing operation. well, that ended up being just the precursor to adventures that followed. i started in 2014, a tiny company with me and my friends, and i'd also made some, some, some stupid personal choices, which led to because i didn't know about personal responsibility or financial responsibility. so from from a position of austerity, i started a little circus. and in 2014, we had one little gig at the la county fair, a tiny outdoor show with six people. and today we
12:18 pm
now have two touring units and these two of these beautiful tents touring all over country, will hit 45 cities this year. this is actually our first time in livermore, our first time in norco. we were in san fran, sacramento a long time ago. but the fact that this place exists is a testament to what is possible. when you have a dream and you're able to get a team of people to believe in that dream with you and to connect with communities, as we have across the country. one of the incredible artists that i work with is this is kiko here. he's fixing his this is rings, roman rings he works on. he is an amazing cuban artist. >> oh, it is amazing. i have to tell you, when i first came here, i walked inside this tent and i said to you. how many people does it hold? like 200, because it felt so intimate. and you told me it's about 500 people, right? but i looked around and i was watching the kids and not just the kids, but teenagers, and they're off their phones and they're totally
12:19 pm
amazed. and then your troupe is like a family. >> 100% family. i mean, when you have the chips are down, if you are committed not just to your job like it's a 9 to 5 for your paycheck, but it's something where you feel you're part of a community where if you should leave, you would let them down. you have a commitment and a desire to make something amazing together. so that is something that we have been able to attract with that attraction. we've been able to bring in families. this is a family event, was run by families, and i think you can feel that from the time you get to the front door. actually, the aerialist is checking your ticket. the ringmaster is ushering you to your seat. there's a dancer who is selling you a toy at the toy box, and then you see them do this amazing thing. and what an amazing message and pertinent today, the idea that a diversity of people could work together to make something awesome. >> how awesome is that message right there. but livermore has received you so well. they've embraced every single one of

12:43 pm
experiences postpartum depression. that number skyrockets to 1 in 2 when the mother is also affected. doctors say that too many men are suffering in silence without seeking help or support. >> we are very important and sometimes we also minimize our own importance. just because we're not nursing doesn't mean that we can't do other things. for many dads, the act of becoming a father can sometimes feel unnatural the way that can be for moms. and we don't have a lot of the resources or the knowledge base that we want. >> doctors say some of the common signs of postpartum depression for fathers include irritability, anger, and doing things to avoid being around the new child. while today's mild weather is perfect for those who like to exercise outdoors, fitness experts caution extreme heat can make a workout dangerous. if you have to be outside on a day with extreme heat, they say you should gradually ease your way into rigorous exercise. they say it's important to time your workouts and aim for the early morning or
12:44 pm
late evening hours when the sun is less intense. >> time of day is very important, especially in summer months when it's very hot out. however, you want to make sure that when you are working out in those conditions that you're just staying hydrated and you're being aware of all the signs and symptoms of any heat illnesses that can arise. >> experts say wearing breathable, loose fitting clothing is key both for comfort and to help reduce the risk of overheating. people in livermore and beyond are taking a trip to the outlets not for a day of shopping, but for a few hours of excitement under the big top. ktvu meteorologist roberta gonzalez is live in livermore, where roberta the circus is in town, and i see they're trying to recruit you. >> absolutely. i have actually joined the circus now, actually, i'm just out here hanging out with them today, having lots of fun. it is so much family fun. i have seen the circus this performance for miles south of venardos circus. it opened up last wednesday and that's why i wanted to tell all of you at home about it with me. here is my bestest friend in the whole
12:45 pm
wide world now. hi there, introduce yourself please. >> hi, my name is david. >> and david. where are you from? >> i come from italy. >> and how long have you been with the circus? >> with the circus? this is my second year. but i come from an eighth generation circus family. so i've been in the circus my whole life. >> and i just met your mom. over here? >> yes. over there? >> yeah. and i asked her if you used to just play around the house. breaking things, tumbling things. i think you have some work to do. >> okay. thank you. bye. >> and the circus. >> welcome. welcome, one and all. and welcome to you, roberta. >> well. thank you. i was just about to say. yes. the circus is in town, and with me now is. >> nate, delaney. and nate. you are the ringmaster. and the first question i got to ask you. where did you get this suit? no, the first question i wanted to ask you is, what's it like being a ringmaster and welcoming the people of the bay area into this beautiful tent? >> it's a really beautiful experience because a lot of times when you do other shows, you know, you might step out and then step away, but i actually get a chance to address the entire audience, whoever they
12:46 pm
may be, wherever they may come from, and then really set the scene for the entire show. >> this tent is so intimate. it holds just a little over 500 people. how many people are with your troupe? >> with our troupe is about between 25 to 30 people. >> and you're all family. that's the one thing that really hit my core is how close and tight you all are. the big bright smiles and the way you help each other out. >> absolutely. yeah. we all come from different walks of life, but we all came together and we're all working towards a common goal. >> did you have a goal to work in a circus when you were a kid? how did this happen? >> funny enough, it wasn't a thought. it was an email that came across as an audition and i everything just kind of seemed like it ticked all the boxes. so i said, okay, sure, and sent off my audition. and then a year later, here i am. >> i grew up in the mojave desert, and every time the circus came to town, i used to tell my mom and dad i was going to hitch a ride with them and head out of town because i just wanted to get out of barstow.
12:47 pm
but how did you get to this place? now you're in the tri-valley. you travel around. what's it like being on the road? >> well, i did a lot of work on cruise ships for many years, so this is kind of my land work, if you call it that. so we go to a different city every two weeks. so we'll come in, set up the tent, perform and then move on to the next. so right now we're going up and down the west coast for the entire year. >> what do you take away every night after performing for an audience? >> i think the smiles and the genuine reactions to the audience when we're not only performing, but then also the message that we're trying to relay to them and to actually feel that that was received. >> do people react differently from city to city, like is the bay area or best audience ever? >> we, the bay area audiences have been fantastic. but yeah, everywhere is different. you go to a different state and you're going to have different types of people. but at the end of the day, the reaction has been pretty consistent across the board. >> you did mention that you're
12:48 pm
all from different diversities, different walks of life. what is the message you want people to take away after each performance? >> we want them to take away the message that we want you to live your circus dream, whatever it may be, whatever. there's no dream that's too big or too crazy. just put the work forward and also to work together. because to make it happen by yourself is sometimes unrealistic. but if we work together, we can make anything happen. >> kevin was telling me the owner, mr. bernardo's, that the audience here in the bay area has been so wildly receptive to this circus and know animals that they're extending the show for two more weeks. and if you'd like more information about how you can score tickets for you and your family, i got to tell you, the kids love this and so do the teenagers. and i love it. yes, i love it. >> it's for all ages. >> yes. and you can visit online. bernardo's circus.com. where are you off to next? >> after this we're off to idaho. >> idaho. >> but we're still here for
12:49 pm
another three weeks. we extended until june 29th. >> that's exciting. and you can come here. we're at the san francisco premium outlets in livermore, the outlet center. they have a square called republic square. come on by. the circus is in town. gasia. and they have food, too. i'm going to go hit up some cotton candy now. >> all right, you go. roberta. thank you so much. it's so fun to have you here at noon, highlighting all the fun things to do around the bay this summer. all right, let's head a bit to the north here. as the largest dam removal in u.s. history has happened. but thousands of salmon surged upstream on the klamath river, only to have their journey cut short after they hit a wall about eight miles upstream, according to the chronicle. the keno dam in southern oregon is impacting their journey. a fish ladder was installed to help the fish pass through reportedly doesn't work. the outdated ladder blocks access to more than 350 miles of prime habitat. now, federal, state and tribal officials are weighing costly upgrades or a full removal of the dam. efforts are increasing in florida to remove invasive burmese pythons. the giant snakes were once part of a pet trade and are now ruining ecosystems across that state.
12:50 pm
reporter regina gonzalez shows us how wildlife experts are actually using the snakes to track other snakes. >> well, burmese pythons are some of the largest snakes that slither on this earth, but a team of biologists with the conservancy of southwest florida make it look effortless when they go out in the wilderness and capture several of them at a time. they even recently shared shocking video of how they get the job done. in it, you can see ian bartoszek, a wildlife biologist and conservancy science project manager, casually handling a 17 foot, 150 pound python. on this particular day, he tells us they ran into six of them. the team, made up of researchers and interns, initiate when they know one of their male scouts snakes, is near because they track them using radio transmitters. before you know it, everyone has a snake on their backs in a bag. this is a look at just one scout capture in a now record-breaking season, where they tell us they
12:51 pm
removed 6,300 pounds of these invasive beasts across southwest florida during this year's breeding season, which ran from last november to this april. >> it's an intense assignment. it's a heavy lifting assignment here at the lab, 40,000 pounds of python have come through the doors. they get necropsied on the table. a lot of science comes from these animals. we owe it to them. remarkable species here. from no fault of their own. they're actually threatened in their native range of southeast asia. but these animals are different from a product of the pet trade. we can't send these back to southeast asia. unfortunately, we can't put them in zoos. so here we humanely euthanize them, and then we owe it to them to get as much science as possible. >> ian tells us. burmese pythons were brought here from southeast asia by the exotic pet trade in the 70s and 80s, and have since thrived in florida's tropical climate. they are considered established from the south of lake okeechobee to key largo, and from western broward county
12:52 pm
to collier county. they eat about 85 different species of animals here, including deer, bobcats, foxes, and even alligators. don't worry, though, ian says these beasts are not interested in tasting humans, and attacks on humans are incredibly rare. removing large breeding females, though, is particularly impactful for this team since they're not only removing the apex predator, but also the dozens of eggs she's laid. floridians can help combat burmese pythons by downloading an app on their phone called i've got one. it allows you to upload pictures and report invasive species like them. you can also call a number 888. i've got one that will notify a team like ian's to go out and capture them. he actually referred to it as wildlife 911 in tampa. regina gonzalez, fox news. >> the bay area housing market is as competitive as ever. a look at the demand for people
