9:02 am
the brain that are necessary for memory, decision making and emotional regulation. they call for more investigation and research into how chronic job stress might affect brain health. welcome to the nine. you know, it makes sense when you're very busy and overwhelmed. i know personally sometimes i forget you know what i had for breakfast, let alone, you know, what my story was the day before or two days before. so it seems like i kind of compare it to, you know, your brain's like a desktop, and if it's full, you can't find things as easily. >> i agree with that. i think kind of the more we do, it tends to feel like the worst. we're doing it all, but we don't often have the luxury of focusing on one thing at a time, only for a limited amount of hours. >> so are they saying they didn't get into details? they're just saying it changes the brain, but don't know if you know how much it changes. >> if it's permanent or not. >> it's permanent. >> i'm not sure. >> but yeah, but it's not in a good way i would guess. yeah. more tired you are. >> yeah. >> yeah. like the thing that's. >> like, look, let's be honest,
9:03 am
we are all doing more. and i mean all. >> here, all of you at home, all everybody everywhere. >> across every, you know, sector of life and work and relationships, everything. but i when you don't have that minute of calm between your tasks, when you're doing four things at once, when you used to only do 1 or 2 for sure that creative juice dries up in an instant, you feel like you're churning through your work, churning through your parenting. there's no like, hey, i have a great idea. let's do x, y, z. it's like, let's do x, then y, then z, then a and b and. >> c again. >> mental strain is real. i never thought i would ever say that, but sometimes after a day of work i'm just. >> like, >> right. >> i just need to veg out. >> concentrating. yeah, just concentrating constantly. >> yeah. you can't underestimate the role of technology too, because we are allowed to be connected and enabled to be connected at all times. so something to think about. new. this morning, the supreme court upheld a ban in tennessee on gender affirming care for transgender minors. the six three decision is similar to laws in 26 other states. in her dissent, justice sonia sotomayor says this decision, quote, abandons transgender children and their families to political

9:05 am
israel doesn't have the firepower needed to destroy it. but the u.s. could use its b-2s and bunker buster bombs to take it out. >> you don't know. i may do it. i may not do it. i mean, nobody knows what i'm going to do. >> president trump has two words for iran unconditional surrender. >> that means i've had it. >> but iran's supreme leader says that's not going to happen, and warns the u.s. entering into this war is 100% to its own detriment. the damage it will suffer will be far greater than any harm that iran may encounter on capitol hill. defense secretary pete hegseth would not comment on any potential u.s. action. >> my question for you is whether you have been asked actively to provide options for the president regarding a strike in the middle east. >> if i had or i had not, i wouldn't disclose that in this forum. senator. >> the u.s. embassy in jerusalem is now working on evacuation flights and cruise ship departures for americans who need help leaving israel. in washington, rebecca kastner,

9:07 am
farms, hotels and restaurants. the trump administration is now walking back. its guidance, issued last week advising federal agencies to not raid those types of businesses and industries. ice has been under pressure from the white house, though, to make a minimum of 3000 arrests per day. >> several san francisco city workers were arrested after disrupting a board of supervisors meeting to protest proposed budget cuts. >> public services. [applause] public services. public services. >> union members began chanting shortly after the city's budget meeting began yesterday afternoon. the state inside city hall for nearly two hours before law enforcement warned them to leave, then began arresting people. at least 11 were arrested, cited and let go. union members say supervisors should be able to create a budget that doesn't involve public service cuts. >> you can absolutely balance this budget on the backs of workers. we have proposed other one time costs. there are other reserves that the mayor can tap
9:08 am
into. >> supervisors say they want to avoid cuts wherever possible. the board has until july to finalize the city budget. personal finance site wallethub says san francisco is the worst run major city in the country. the report measured 148 cities based on 36 metrics related to financial stability, education, health, safety, the economy, infrastructure, and pollution. wallethub cited san francisco's population decline, a resulting drop in public school enrollment, and high housing costs right across the bay. oakland also ranked near the bottom, just a couple slots above san francisco. >> 907 is the time, and it is shaping up to be warmer today than it was yesterday and the day before. roberto gonzalez is keeping an eye on our forecast, and it's just a one day blip. it looks like one day warm up, but we have seen the fog burn off already pretty early this morning. >> yeah. you know, ali, officially you have to have three days in a row with well above normal temperatures to call it a heat wave. and today,
9:09 am
just as you mentioned, a little blip in the forecast. and we do have the low clouds scrubbing out of the city by the bay, oakland, and also in san francisco. we're currently at 54 to 60 degrees to the north of the golden gate bridge. we are in the low and mid 60s. we're now striking out near 70 at this very early hour in concord, clayton crockett as well, and 50 still common around the peninsula, while san jose sits at 62 degrees, you're going to see a little bit of a tinge in the air today in the east bay and the south bay. this is not because of the ranch fire from yesterday and the santa clara valley. this is just some emissions from ozone that's trapped close to the surface. but once we pick up that wind out of the west 10 to 20. everything is going to look really mighty fine during the afternoon hours, 13 mile per hour winds. right now, sfo, we've been seeing some breezy conditions also in the fairfield area. again, just minor winds this morning. but we do have that bank of clouds stacked up along the entire california coastline. high pressure. this
9:10 am
is the same dome that contributed to 114 degrees in phoenix for the past couple of days, 110 and vegas. and you say, sure, it's always hot in vegas. no, usually this time of the year, 95 degrees so well above average. so we have major cooling tomorrow and friday, all due to this trough to the north of us that's going to spill cooler air mass into the bay area. so today average high 85 in pleasanton forecasting 92. how about healdsburg? 93 near 90 in cupertino and campbell. saratoga and san francisco slightly above average at 70. it's going to be gorgeous in the city 92 degrees in gilroy today. how about 60s at the beaches with partly cloudy skies? your extended forecast celebrating juneteenth. why not? and it's a holiday. 82 degrees, which is a little bit more seasonable below average for the first day of summer, which officially arrives. 742 on friday evening. gorgeous. over the weekend.
9:11 am

9:14 am
of one of the co-founders of a legendary oakland music venue, are talking about the impact he had on the community. kaz shigemura was the man behind yoshi's in oakland. he died over the weekend at the age of 82 after battling dementia. his co-owner of the jazz music club and sushi restaurant described cause as a dreamer who graduated from college in tokyo and then came to the u.s. at the age of 22. he earned a master's degree in journalism at uc berkeley and an mba at stanford. >> he's the true american dream. he dedicated his life to, you know, 50 years of jazz and music in san francisco bay area. and
9:15 am
that's incredible. yoshi's is his passion. it was the passion of his life, and every good work you see was built by him, including our tables. he made the tables himself one by one. >> kaz opened the original yoshi's in berkeley in 1972. they moved to the current location in oakland, jack london square, in 1997, and then opened a second location in san francisco that closed in 2014. tomorrow is. >> the juneteenth federal holiday meant to commemorate the end of slavery in the united states. it was june 19th of 1865. major general gordon granger of the us military came upon a compound in texas and ordered the final enforcement of the emancipation proclamation. among the juneteenth celebrations in the bay area, one of the biggest will be happening in oakland. of course, in the uptown district tomorrow night, the juneteenth heritage gala features the presentation of freedom awards as well as live entertainment. some really good food. essentially, it's a party with a purpose. let's welcome back to the nine oakland city council president, former acting mayor kevin jenkins. also, welcome to the president
9:16 am
of the oakland african american chamber of commerce. good morning, cathy adams. >> good morning. >> you know, we were talking in the newsroom how juneteenth is a celebration. but there is also reason to pause and think about why we mark juneteenth. and i'll start with you, councilman jenkins, why is it so important that all families talk about the meaning of tomorrow? >> yeah. so thank you for having me back. so juneteenth is probably the oldest black american holiday in the united states. and so it is significant in marking the end of slavery and enslaved people knowing that they were no longer enslaved. we have come a long way, but there's still a long way to go. and so juneteenth is a time to stop, remember, celebrate, but also look forward to what we have to do to get to where we want to be. >> this is the second year of the event. last year was wildly popular. cathy, did you almost, you know, after you heard from the community, how soon did you know? look, we have to do this again. >> well, listen, i was very close to the council member here, and he said, we got to do this again. so we came together
9:17 am
to make sure that we can bring the arts, the culture, celebrate our businesses that would be participating there. so it's just a unique opportunity to celebrate but not lose the focus in terms of making sure that we can keep our businesses thriving in oakland. >> and you have really curated an incredible evening. black musicians, black owned restaurants serving incredible gourmet food. tell me how you were able to select from all of oakland's riches. >> well, we have so many unique chefs in the bay area, and one of the things that the council member and the committee wanted to do was to spotlight those different businesses. so, you know, from the soul food to the seafood, and we have to be mindful of vegans. so we will have something for everybody there. but the chefs are there will have amazing desserts. i can't think of all even peach cobbler with ice cream and everything. just those foods that kind of bring family together. >> good. i like it kind of what we had at our family gathering over the summer. we'll be having tomorrow night in a fancy venue. i'll go back to you. councilman jenkins, can you tell me about
9:18 am
the awards that are being given out and who's being awarded? >> yes. so we want to celebrate people that are doing good work here in the city of oakland and beyond. and there are a number of people that are striving to make oakland a better place. we know that we have our problems, but we know that we have people that are working to solve those problems. and so we have an amazing group of awardees, including tyson boyo from sutter health, including jessica arlene from benioff hospital. yeah. >> i noticed you have your young son with you. yeah, summer. you know, school's out. it's summertime. you know, this is what could be classroom instruction for students. that's not happening because they're not in the classroom. how do we talk to the younger generations about the importance of juneteenth? >> so that's actually a really good question. my mom always took me to berkeley juneteenth. so i grew up going to berkeley juneteenth. my son and i go to berkeley juneteenth, and it's one of those things that have become a tradition that's passed down through the family. and so we have to continue to educate our kids. my son is on summer vacation, but he's still reading books and he's still having to
9:19 am
do work. >> good, good. kathy, i imagine everyone is welcome tomorrow, not just members of. >> yes, everyone is welcome. right now we have close to 300 people. it's a beautiful venue. we have room for more to bring them together. and so we're just excited. we've got the community corporations that have stepped up because they really want to support that. and also the council member, each time we do these events, there's always a program that we want to support with this. so like you said, a party with purpose. >> i love it. well, thank you both for being here. let's see if our viewers can't get all the information they need. if you're interested in going. and i hope you are. the second annual juneteenth heritage gala celebration of freedom awards is happening in uptown oakland tomorrow night at 1900 broadway apartments and coworking spaces. festivities start at 5 p.m. tickets are available at eventbrite.com. kathy adams, councilman jenkins, thank you both for being here. >> it's been a pleasure. >> thank you. very good. >> thank you. coming up in a minute here, it's another showdown between governor newsom and president trump. next, the president and the governor face off in a bay area courtroom what they're talking about. and when we could see a ruling in a
9:20 am
highly watched case, then it might be time to start gting
9:21 am
9:22 am
still not issued a ruling over the deployment of the state's national guard to los angeles following immigration protests. the three judge panel on the ninth circuit court of appeals heard arguments yesterday scrutinizing a lower judge's ruling blocking the president's deployment of more than 4000 troops without the governor's consent. the president's lawyers argued he can federalize the state's national guard and
9:23 am
rebellion. danger of rebellion, or if the president is unable to execute federal laws. the california department of justice argued the president's actions were illegal. >> violent riots in los angeles constitute a rebellion against the authority of the united states. those guardsmen are necessary on the ground today to prevent breaches of the federal buildings to protect ice officers. >> for the first time in our nation's history, defendants federalize thousands of members of the state national guard in circumstances where none of those factual predicates exist. and they circumvented the governor. >> the panel seemed inclined to let president trump maintain control of the guard members. it could rule at any time now. >> california senator alex padilla spoke on the floor of the u.s. senate about an incident last week in which he was forcibly removed from a news conference by the homeland security secretary. >> i was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly
9:24 am
asking, why am i being detained? not once did they tell me why. >> senator padilla says he was in the federal building in los angeles and went to the news conference. upon learning the homeland security secretary was just a few doors down. he said he had tried to talk with the head of dhs in the recent weeks about the president's deployment of the national guard to los angeles and enhanced immigration enforcement, but had received no response. senator padilla and other democrats called the takedown an abuse of power. >> if what you saw happen. can happen when the cameras are on, imagine not only what can happen, but what is happening in so many places where there are no cameras. colleagues, this isn't about me. in fact, it's not just about immigrant communities or even just the state of california. it's about every single american who values
9:25 am
their constitutional rights. >> in a statement after the incident, the department of homeland security said senator padilla never identified himself, though we do hear him giving his name and title as he walks toward the front of the room. also said members of the secret service thought he was an attacker. >> amazon's prime day event is coming up in less than a month, and it has been extended to four days this year. amazon prime will run from july 8th. prime days will run from july 8th to july 11th, and as always, you can expect deals on electronics and brands like sony and dyson. prime day is typically very successful for amazon. last year, it generated more than $14 billion in sales. it's still unclear how the ongoing tariff and trade war will affect prices for this year's sale. president trump is giving tiktok's parent company, bytedance, another 90 days to reach a sale agreement here in the u.s. this is the third time the president has extended the deadline for the china based company to sell tiktok. this extension pushes the deadline from this thursday
9:26 am
to mid september. president biden signed the ban on tiktok into law last year. americans will still be able to use the social media site during this extension. >> right now, a group of nurses and technical staff are employees at ucsf benioff children's hospital. but a new proposal could mean big changes are ahead. we're live at the hospital in oakland on the protest and the concerns of the staff. and the pink triangle is probably one of the most recognizable symbols of san francisco's pride month. but this giant display against hate and intolerance has just been vandalized. and you can listen to our morning headlines on your podcast platforms. stay up to date with mornings on two on the go. make sure you subscribe and download episodes on your favorite platform to search ktvu.

live. [music] look here at san francisco. gorgeous blue skies, some clouds up above. but still, it's going to be the warmest day of the week, according to our meteorologist, roberto gonzalez. so if you like warmth, head out there. and if you want to escape it, head straight to the city for the first time. it turns out more people are streaming content than watching on broadcast or cable tv. according to the latest nielsen data, streaming accounted for nearly 45% of all viewership last month. broadcast and cable viewing combined for about 44%. youtube ranked as the most
9:30 am
widely used streaming platform, followed by netflix and disney owned platforms such as espn and hulu. then we find amazon's prime video and the roku channel. so we've been asking you, how do you watch tv through paid subscription streaming services? some free from some free services? may i plug our own free fox local app here? shameless promotion, but it is free. or maybe are you watching us on standard broadcast or cable television? we see almost half of you say you are heading out to ktvu through broadcast or cable tv. just more than a third say you'll pay for your streaming services. 16% of you choose free streaming. i hope we're part of that. you can make those numbers move by scanning the qr code at the top right of your screen. you can head out to ktvu. com slash vote. i think back and i tell my sons all the time, you have young children as well. back when we were kids, you and i, we would watch the same saturday morning cartoons. we would see the same commercials. but now when i open up youtube, i get, you know, how you. >> get smacked in the face. >> with things that are directly
9:31 am
tailored. >> to me. >> meanwhile, they're being fed, you know, baseball and mountain biking and you know how to cook a brisket, sort of. it's so personalized. so, so like that unifying viewing experience is not happening. >> that's over. i really do think that's over. there are certain shows that people watch, but it's not to the numbers that they're popular. but it's not even close to the numbers. >> do you remember friends? >> yeah, right. like and the millions or seinfeld. like like tens of millions of people. american idol. american. tens of. >> millions used to call appointment television. and even now, when people do watch these shows that maybe they become very popular, people aren't watching them all at the same time, right? so you might. >> binge. >> the whole season. >> i'm still working. >> even the total is like, like 3 million now for like a top show. and you're like, wow. >> i think the super bowl remains the most because it's live. >> sporting like tens of millions still. yeah, it's like the only one though. >> it's such a change. >> yeah, it's crazy, but the same cartoons i do, you know. >> yeah, yeah. and what i remind my kids is if you slept in and missed the saturday morning
9:32 am
cartoons, there was no going back. that's it. there was no. going back to. your page. >> oh, i missed the cartoons this morning. oh, yeah, you're right, i remember that. all right, let's move on to this story now. an open minded and open ended strike is underway in oakland. health care workers and support staff are off the job from ucsf benioff children's hospital. striking against a plan to change employers. ktvu. james torres is live outside the hospital in oakland. to tell us more about what is happening there and what the folks who are taking part in this demonstration are saying about all this. james. >> andre, this is what the demonstration looks like. it's been this way since about 7:00 this morning. dozens of people who work at the children's hospital here in oakland, trying to make sure their voices are heard. as it stands, nurses and technical workers here at ucsf benioff children's hospital are children's hospital employees. but they are worried that a new proposed integration plan would fire these employees and rehire them. as you see employees, those workers say they don't want that to happen. unions representing them argue that
9:33 am
transition forces them to change their benefits, change their pensions and lose their unions. some say they would also lose, on average, $10,000 a year in take home pay. that transition is set to happen in early july. ucsf acquired the hospital in 2014, but workers contracts still had them employed under children's hospital oakland. workers out here this morning, some who i spoke to say after years of work, it needs to stay that way. >> we've stayed at the table time and time again, and they promised us that this would never happen. but yet and still we're here. they refused to pick an arbitrator. we wouldn't we couldn't even go into arbitration because they are flat out refusing because they feel what they're doing is correct. >> well, because of this strike, ucsf says a few of its outpatient offices will be closed or limited today. that includes walnut creek, brentwood, san ramon and emeryville. if your appointments are affected, they say they will
9:34 am
contact you directly. the main hospital here in oakland will stay open to see patients. ucsf argues the transition puts employees under the same unions representing all ucsf workers in the state, and it's a better decision in the long run. those leaders also say take home pay will be different, but it contributes to more valuable pensions and benefits. this is an open ended strike. so these nurses and technical workers and staff, they say that they will be doing this until they get what they want or until they come to a compromise. again, this is what the demonstration looks like. it really no telling how long it may take until they return back to the negotiation table, but we see the signs simply saying unfair labor practice. same work for less. take home pay? no way. an example of some of the messages coming out from the folks who are out here this morning. we are live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. funding may be may be on the way to help
9:35 am
increase early detection and proactive treatment of cancer for san francisco firefighters. mayor daniel lowry announced a $500,000 investment for cancer screening for firefighters in his budget plan. it would be used to pay for cutting edge imaging scans, which are typically not covered by insurance. mayor lowry says the screening will help save lives, as cancer is now the leading cause of death for firefighters. >> these screenings have identified cancers that may have gone undiagnosed until advanced stages. we deserve to give every firefighter a fighting chance. and it's about honoring the people who dedicate their lives to protecting ours. >> the screening would be available for active duty firefighters aged 40 and up with at least five years of service, according to the firefighters union. more than 300 former and active duty san francisco firefighters have died from cancer over the past two decades. a 19 year old san francisco man is in jail accused of vandalizing the iconic pink triangle on top of twin peaks. san francisco police say they were called to the pride month
9:36 am
display around 1230 yesterday afternoon. they saw a man identified as lester bamaca geronimo defacing the pink triangle. we sent skyfox up over the pink triangle, and we can see some faint black markings on it. officers chased the man, arrested him. at this point, he has not been charged with a hate crime, but we're told that could change. the prosecution in the sean diddy combs trial could wrap up its case by the end of the week. meantime, right now in washington, congressional republicans are holding a hearing on whether there was a concerted effort to cover up president biden's mental abilities in his last days in office. the federal reserve expected to hold interest rates steady today, but the white house has been pressuring fed chair jerome powell to act and cut rates to spur the economy. for more on these major headlines, let's welcome michael pash with our streaming service live now from fox. thanks for being here, michael. >> yes, great to be here ali. and yeah, a lot to unpack here. but let's start with the sean combs trial where it was supposed to kick off once again
9:37 am
today, but it stalled. and that's because a juror was sick. so the court had to go home for the day. now, there will be no court tomorrow in session because of the juneteenth federal holiday. so that leaves us now with friday. prosecution doesn't think that they could wrap up and rest their case on friday. so it's going to go into the next week there before we are going to hear opening statements from the defense. and they wait to get the case here. so a lot to think about here as sean combs defense. now going to have to wait at least a couple of more days to get their crack at the court case. >> what has the scene been like in as these this case, this highly anticipated and very much watched case starts to wrap up? >> yeah i mean this is going to be all hands on deck here for the eight defense members of this case here. and they're expected to have the case for
9:38 am
about three weeks here. so this could be wrapping up sometime just after the july 4th holiday. that is what is expected right now. so we'll be waiting to see just how many witnesses the defense brings up. they are expected to have about 5 to 7 key witnesses that are going to try to help make the case for sean combs and a not guilty area. >> let's move on and talk about the hearing that is underway by congressional republicans, focusing on president biden's final days in office. what are we expecting from that? >> yeah, so this was interesting because no democrats took place here in this hearing. so it was all republicans. no democrats showed up to this hearing. and it was a lot about the autopen of president biden during his time. we heard from senator ted cruz, give an explanation on what he feels that was not in the greatest of terms here for
9:39 am
president biden. using the auto pen, there was also talking about the mental wellness as well, from president joe biden at the time. but again, this was just a partizan effort here by republicans putting this different witnesses on the stand and really continuing to bring the full weight here of republicans showing the force in this hearing. >> but nothing is expected to really come from that or result in any sort of policy changes. because, again, as you mentioned, it's a completely partizan hearing. >> yeah. no, no, nothing expected. in fact, it just wrapped up there. and again because no democrats showed up, it was hard to get the two sides to the story there as well. >> a lot of gop focus and but the president's focus on fed chair jerome powell and what he might do. what are you hearing on that front? >> well, yeah. like you mentioned there, they are expected the fed to have the rates remain steady. that's not
9:40 am
what president trump is hoping for. just today he had an impromptu news conference. and he called jerome powell stupid. so he wants the rates to be cut by two full points. and i mean we haven't seen that. i mean, the best that they were hoping for would be a quarter of a point, even maybe a half a point. but again, those remarks are coming about 2:30 p.m. eastern. and jerome powell expected to make no changes when it comes to these rates. and it'll be interesting to see what president trump says after it's very official that the fed will not be making any moves this time around. we'll have to wait until september to see if there will be any moves to be made. >> okay. and as we know, the federal reserve is supposed to be completely independent of the executive branch of the presidency. so we'll see if that leads to anything and what the fed decides to do in the days ahead. michael doordash from our streaming service live now from fox. thank you for joining us.

9:44 am
oakland natives are teaming up this juneteenth for an event focusing on men's mental health. one is an award winning director whose credits include fruitvale station, creed, black panther franchise and his current hit centers. get out and see that if you haven't yet. the other is a legendary entertainer, rapper, entrepreneur, community activist sammy davis jr. mister fab is behind numerous projects. his latest takes place at his bar, desis lounge. he joins us here on nine to talk a little bit about something that still, it's
9:45 am
becoming more of talked about mental health, especially among men, but it still needs to get there, right? it still needs to get out. and that's what you're doing with thug therapy. tell us a little bit about what that is. >> i'm just so excited to, for one, to be here, to be able to have a platform where we're talking about mental health. >> yes. couldn't do this a few years back. >> you know. yeah. it wasn't a safe space. we like to create a brave space because of what it takes and what's required for someone to come into these spaces unknown, to be able to show vulnerability, to be able to show displacement of emotion. and there are array of things that men go through that we can't talk about. we're only allowed a certain amount of emotions. >> so that's the that's the thing. how do you break down that barrier when you have these thugs therapy sessions? what do you say. because, you know, just being a man in general, you can't really show your feelings or talk about your feelings, but we know that it has to happen for you to heal and grow and become a better man. so how do you break down that barrier when
9:46 am
you're in these sessions? >> well, i lead by example. you know, i want to be the catalyst for someone who may have whatever status quo that people you know may feel that i have, but to be able to say i'm going to reveal to heal. yeah, i'll be the first to talk about my depression. i'll be the first to talk about my anxiety. i'll be the first to talk about the uncertainties of life, of dealing with it being a black man, a business owner, a parent, a community leader and activist with the way of the world on your shoulders. sometimes it's very arduous and human. >> you're being you're human, you're human. >> being human. but i smile and i'm always trying to serve and cater everyone else. but sometimes that person even needs somebody to talk to. so with that brotherhood, that's what we allow. we allow that kind of fraternizing and that camaraderie of men to come talk and just get it out. >> you've done this before. tell us what men tell you after they've come to these sessions. >> this is an ongoing series. and it's not just men anymore. we've allowed the doors to be opened up to for a coed experience. last month, we had the mayor, barbara lee, come in,
9:47 am
and she was able to share amazing things about her trials with mental health. and a lot of people didn't know she had a background in that in therapy. >> i think this is a key thing here. when you see people like barbara lee yourself, people that are in these high positions. and i think the misconception is i've even gotten it. oh, you don't have any issues. everything's smooth sailing for you, which is not true. >> yeah, not at all. >> it is, it is. it is hard. >> yeah. biggie said it a long time ago. more money, more problems. >> exactly. you know, and it does. and it is true. and you know, you have to show that space, as you said before, but you are dealing with it. tell us a little bit about the coming thug therapy event that you have tonight. >> yeah. tonight at desi's lounge at 6 p.m. sharp. ryan is very punctual. >> yeah, ryan coogler is going to be there as well as we mentioned. >> childhood friend of mine. yeah. and it's so funny just even introducing this tonight with ryan. i'm just thinking about our childhood of he and i growing up in the neighborhood, and i'm just having a candid conversation with a friend of mine. but then people are
9:48 am
hitting me like, bro, you got ryan coogler coming to the thing. i'm just like, i'm like, oh, i forgot. >> this might be. >> the most talked about black man in america right. >> now, right? but but, you know, even still, it's interesting that someone in one of the most well-known black men in america is going to be at this event, coming back to his community, talking to people about this that shows the importance of what you're doing is right. >> and what he's juggling, you know, dealing with the things that he's juggling, juggling of just lord knows what, what we know what he's up against. but doing this kind of film unapologetic, telling his story and unwaveringly setting out this is what it is, having those boundaries. but for him to come discuss it, to be able to allow himself to be accessible to the public, to his people coming back, it's just it just shows the king that he truly is, and the king making that we're doing as a community. and that's the beautiful thing about it, king and queen making. let me clear. >> that up. queen. queen, i just think it's so important for people in the community to see and hear the stories of people like both of you, because it really lets them know that
9:49 am
you're not. you're not alone. if you're dealing with this and you've gotten to the point where you are, that means i could do it too, and i can get over it and progress and become better. >> and it's healing. >> it's healing. >> i want to tell people that, like, we're not talking from a healed position. we're healing. last week we had marshawn lynch was amazing. for him to come out and open up. today we have ryan coogler. 6:00 desi's lounge. >> desi's lounge 6 to 8 p.m. desi's lounge your own desi. where is it located? >> desi's lounge is at 1759 broadway, right across the street from the dope store. it's a club named after my mother. but this whole weekend, man, it's just. it's beautiful celebrations. shameless little plug. but friday we're at the fox fox theater. >> what's happening there? >> two short dj quik, scarface. >> oh, nice. >> richie rich. it's a beautiful show at the fox theater and then lake fest this saturday. we're doing a festival at the lake, bringing that community, and then i'm doing comedy. so we got to add a new. >> that's right. i saw that you posted something about comedy. have you done this? have you done this before? >> i haven't, not.
9:50 am
>> at this level. this is the first time you're going to be at this level, because you're going to be in front of a crowd. i saw you post about that on instagram. >> i'm definitely nervous. but it's just all about, man, we're challenging ourselves and we're challenging people to go out and go, be courageous man, have the temerity to do the things that you always wanted to do. >> interesting. you're challenging yourself in comedy. you're challenging yourself in terms of mental health and getting the word out there and helping the community. so. so they do relate. you know it all ways. >> it all relates, man. it's all related. it's all it's always a battle. and to the men and to the women out there that are fighting these silent wars, let us give us yourselves a voice. hear yourself. and that's what we want you to do. we want you to hear yourself, to give yourself a voice, to finally hear those thoughts in your head, to be able to play it, put it on paper, see it and work through it. >> all right. thank you so much. >> appreciate it. >> always love it. remember it's going to be happening tonight. desi's lounge 6 to 8 p.m. there it is. the information is again ryan coogler is going to be joining. he's going to be coming to town a little later on. he's going to be at this event

three at a time. and here's an update to our viewer poll we've been talking about this morning. we've been asking, how do you watch television through paid subscription streaming services like netflix, disney plus and amazon prime, or free services such as the fox local mobile app or fox's tubi? or are you watching us on standard broadcast or cable tv? you can see right now about half of the people responding say that they're watching us on traditional broadcast cable tv, and about a little more than a third use paid streaming apps, with about 14% using free streaming. you can still vote and take part in this. just scan that qr code at the top right of your screen or go to ktvu.com. >> tariff uncertainty is having a big impact on summer travel plans and entertainment. some
9:55 am
families looking to trim their budgets may turn to local amusement parks instead of going on a trip, but they may face rising ticket prices as well as higher prices for food and merchandise, all of which could impact park attendance. >> any parts that we try to order that might come from italy or germany or anywhere overseas, china from our stuffed animals that we use in our games and our cranes and our arcade. so typically this warehouse would be half full, but because of the unknown with the tariffs this year, we had to go ahead and pre-purchase pretty much for the entire summer to try to beat the tariffs before they went into effect. >> financial experts say the cost of tariffs is generally paid by the company that's importing the products, and then often passed on to consumers to oakland here, as the city is moving forward with a plan to install speed safety cameras, the city council approved the $4.8 million pilot program just yesterday, 18 locations in what have been identified as dangerous corridors are set to receive the cameras. the council also approved an amendment meant to help ensure privacy rights aren't violated. supporters say the program will help save
9:56 am
lives. >> what we know in oakland and across this country is that the people who are dying by getting hit by a car are young black kids and elderly chinese people. that is the statistic here in oakland, and it is one of the leading causes of death. and so while i recognize that people want to maintain their privacy and that they want to perhaps speed across our city, don't because someone's life is at stake. >> drivers who go more than 11 miles an hour over the posted speed limit will first get a warning, instead of a ticket for the first 60 days. funding for the program will come from state transportation grants. >> after making one of the biggest trades in franchise history, rafael devers took the field for the first time as the san francisco giant last night. >> the designated hitter, number 16 rafael devers. >> yeah, the team officially introducing its newest player yesterday. the three time all star was traded from the boston red sox to the giants in a blockbuster deal. and at his introductory press conference,
9:57 am
devers said he is ready to get to work. devers had a solid performance in his first game with the giants. he went two for five with an rbi double in the third inning. that gave the giants a21 lead over the guardians. the cleveland fought back and wouldn't let the giants get another run. the guardians spoiled devers debut with the three two win at oracle park. all right, so the san jose earthquakes announced today that its owners have started the process to sell the team. ktvu has learned team owner john fisher has hired an investment bank to help him sell a controlling share of the club. he's owned the earthquakes since it restarted as an expansion franchise back in oh seven. forbes recently valued the major league soccer team at over $540 million. it's unclear if fisher's move to sell the quakes is related to his plan to move the athletics to las vegas, and the rising cost of building a new stadium there. >> well, tomorrow night, the golden state valkyries will play one of its biggest games of the season. it will come on the
9:58 am
heels of a loss last night in the wnba commissioner's cup. the valkyries were beat on the road by the wings 80 to 71. dallas ended a seven game losing skid and snapped the valkyries three game win streak. the golden state valkyries will look to bounce back when they host caitlin clark in the indiana fever tomorrow night at chase center. and speaking of caitlin clark, the basketball superstar is having another great season, but there have been concerns about the physical play she faces on the court. indiana's head coach expressed frustration with officials over the physical play that was allowed in yesterday's game. now, in the post-game interview, clark declined to talk about an on court incident in which she was hit in the face and shoved to the ground, going for a loose ball. instead, she kept the discussion on her team's success. >> going to the commissioner's cup championship. that's pretty exciting. you all want to talk about that. let's talk about that. we kind of got over the hump there, and then we're able to grow our lead in the fourth quarter. they even cut it to ten in the fourth quarter. and i thought we really responded well
9:59 am
and were able to open it up for a pretty comfortable win. >> several scuffles broke out during that game. despite the physical play, clark led the fever to a win and a spot in the league's in-season tournament final. valkyries fever tipoff tomorrow is at 7 p.m. >> i recently went to my very first professional basketball game. i did not realize it is such a physical sport, but i didn't see that kind of business happening. it was a warriors first. it was a warriors game. but i'm watching the video of what happened to caitlin clark. i'm like, man, they don't play. i mean, it's. >> you know, you know, you try to get away with it and they do it on tv. but and some of them get away with it unless the ref calls it. and then some say the ref, you know, the ref lets it go for some. >> oh, i didn't see anything. >> what are you talking about? >> which i have said as a parent, in full disclosure, when my two boys are going at it and i just like my husband says that's just how boys figure it out. let's just let them do their thing. and i'm like, i'll just be here in the kitchen chopping my onions. so. but that, you know, it's the video doesn't, you know, doesn't lie. >> doesn't lie. yeah. but your
10:00 am
kids play baseball, right? >> which is not a super physical sport. >> yeah. so which i think you like. >> yes. which i'm. that's right. yeah, yeah. >> you think of all the physical sports, you know, basketball i mean soccer, you get some sharp elbows. >> and concussion issues also with soccer i mean really there's, you know, i joke, get in your bubble wrap. let me wrap you up with the bubble wrap. >> can't protect them all. >> their lives. i know i tried. were you allowed to do much of what you wanted or were your parents pretty? >> okay? well, in sportswise sports. >> everything else. >> no other things. i was not allowed. to do sports. >> three, two, one. it's show time! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheering] >>
