7:04 am
high winds and dry air create a heightened risk for wildfires. once the weather calms, pg and e crews will inspect those power lines to make sure that they are clear of any debris or vegetation before safely restoring electricity. now, the utility says improvements in technology and forecasting have helped them reduce the number of customers affected in recent years. >> we've really worked very hard in the past several years to strengthen our system to underground a lot of the lines. we do have artificial intelligence that helps us with our forecasting, and we are really making an impact in how many customers are actually experiencing psps events. the number has gotten much smaller. >> and later this morning, between 8 and 9 a.m, another 68 customers in alameda county are expected to lose power as part
7:05 am

7:26 am
not decisions that i control. and you know, that's i'm leaving that in the past. right now i really don't want to talk about it. i want to concentrate on what's holding what's in the future for me. what happened? happened again. like i said, i don't want to talk about the past. i just want to concentrate now in my new team and my new teammates. >> he answered all the questions. he is now a giant. by the way. the red sox beat the giants in that series opener 7 to 5 last night. play again at oracle later today. first pitch set at 1:00 and the giants will be without pitcher justin verlander for the next few games. verlander placed on paternity leave and is taking time to be with wife and former supermodel kate upton, who just gave birth to the couple's second baby. it's a boy, they named it bellamy, brooks, verlander. mlb's paternity leave policy allows players up to three days of leave. >> tom brady kicked off fanatics fest with a special, heartwarming make-a-wish moment. the nfl icon met a 12 year old

7:34 am
they're concerned about. they're concerned about humidity and those wind speeds that can fuel any wildfire. now, here in the clayton area, 73 people, customers, i should say, are without power. but pg and e says this morning they expect power to be restored in this particular area by 10 a.m. the concord pavilion right behind me. that concert venue is one of those affected customers. this latest round of shutoffs has affected primarily east bay communities, areas that are a bit more rural and more vulnerable to these fast-moving wildfires. now, these shutoffs are a preventative measure used when weather conditions increase the risk of fires. now, once those dangerous conditions pass, crews will be inspecting lines to make sure that they're clear of debris, branches and so forth before they restore power. this morning we actually spotted helicopters up above this area. pg and e says that they will be using them throughout the day to help them in that process as
7:35 am
they restore power this morning, local fire officials say that they remain on high alert even in the absence of an official red flag warning. >> our concern right now is primarily with grass fires being able to be rapidly spread and pushed just under these windy and dry, dry conditions. our hope this weekend is that the community heeds to a lot of the warnings that are out there, whether it's locally or just around the greater bay area or east of the bay area, that the fire concerns are elevated. right now, we're just really urging our community to do things that could limit those outdoor activities that could spark a fire. >> and one area of concern this morning is alameda county, because between 8 and 9 a.m, 68 customers there are expected to experience a second wave of shutoffs. but again, pg and e are working around the clock today to restore power to most customers. it says it expects all customers throughout the bay

7:38 am
uptick in absences in several california schools during the first two months of 2025, compared to last year. the period coincides with a series of sweeps in which dozens of day workers were arrested by ice agents. local leaders say students are being forced to choose between their education or their safety. meanwhile, employers say many workers are also not risking going out and just staying home. >> we're a little behind in workers. people are scared about the current immigration situation. many families don't want to leave their homes. they fear, well, what's going to happen to my family if i get caught? >> ice announced this week it will continue its operations at farms, restaurants and hotels. the department of homeland security has also lifted restrictions on immigration arrests in sensitive areas such as schools and churches. a palestinian activist at the center of a deportation fight has been released from an ice detention center in louisiana after spending three months behind bars there. mahmoud khalil is a legal u.s. resident.

7:40 am
emergency power law. a lower court sided with the company, but the trump administration has appealed. so the company took that case directly to the supreme court. justices brief order did not explain the reasoning, but the supreme court is usually reluctant to take up cases before the lower courts have a decision. an appeals court is set to hear the case sometime next month. and canadian prime minister mark carney is planning new tariffs on american steel and aluminum imports. they will begin july the 21st. his announcement comes less than three weeks before a pause on president donald trump's reciprocal tariffs are set to end. carney says he's determined to protect canadian businesses, but he also has emphasized the importance of collaboration between our two countries. >> we need to have ready access to u.s. markets for canadian companies and for canadian

closet, which the film's producer says is now more important than ever. >> it is a documentary that came at what was a pivotal moment in history. created in 2013 after the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, the camouflage closet was a chance for lgbtq plus veterans to tell stories that needed to be told. >> the first thing i heard in boot camp from my drill instructor is that the only color we see here is green, marine corps green. but that wasn't the case in the first two years of my active duty. i got raped. >> i have my male clothing. one side. yeah, the female on the other. >> i guess you'd call me a suicide survivor. >> now, 12 years later, the stories find new relevance as the trump administration pushes a new policy to prohibit transgender people from serving
7:47 am
in the u.s. military. the supreme court has ruled that the ban can stay in place while a battle over the ban rages on in court. and the film's producer, director eliana ramirez, says it remains critically important for these voices to be heard. >> it was horrifying that it continued to be so relevant. and it's relevant again today. so i would say that in addition to being humbled and deeply moved by their courage, i was also very angry on their behalf that these had to be stories that needed to be told again and again. >> an estimated 1000 openly transgender service members are being removed from the military. while the military is threatening to go through medical records to determine if anyone is not serving openly in its ban, the department of defense wrote that the, quote, medical, surgical and mental health constraints on individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms with gender
7:48 am
dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service. but doctor ramirez says she doesn't believe the trump administration is taking into account what is being lost. when you ban this group of service members. >> it is a major loss to the u.s. military to lose the incredible intellect, the skill and the courage of people who care so much about this country that they will make major sacrifices, even when it involves being in environments where they are not accepted or respected. >> and so, more than a decade after nine veterans agreed to tell their stories, the film's producer says it's important to continue to listen to those stories. >> when i got into the military, they asked the questions about. do you have any homosexual tendencies? and i answered, no, i don't have any homosexual
7:49 am
tendencies. i'm homosexual, i don't have tendencies. and i explained that to them and they said, just sign right here. and then when i tell people the story about that, they look at me and they want to look at me in disbelief because i'm gay. which is funny to me because i still can't see the correlation between being the best person you possibly can because you believe in this thing and being gay. >> and to listen to the stories that continue to be told. >> i spent about nine years of my adult life fighting to serve in the united states military. i was finally able to enlist about a year ago, and i completed my training and earned my commission as an officer in january of this year. >> and as another chapter in history is written in this story, she says, it is critically important to see both the trauma and the strength in the stories of transgender
7:50 am
service members. >> i would say that transgender people come from a history and a culture of survival, and there is much wisdom throughout us transgender history and transgender experiences across cultures where people have had to learn to survive in hostile environments. and so, first and foremost, there is a lot that can be relied upon that prior generations developed to survive. >> claudine wong, ktvu channel two news. >> time now is 750. as the bay area celebrates pride month here in june, san francisco city officials are now reflecting on the strength of the lgbtq community in a very challenging time. the mayor, daniel leary, and other officials were at sfo this week where a section of the aids memorial quilt is now on display at the airport's museum in the international terminal. the aids quilt was started by
7:51 am
cleve jones from san francisco in the city back in the mid 80s. the quilt is now made up of some 50,000 panels representing some of the lives lost. jones warns that funding cuts are threatening lives all around the world. >> we are going to have to be very strong and we have to be very clear that the virus never went away and in the absence of treatment, the absence of prevention, education, the absence of support services, the virus is going to come roaring back with a vengeance. >> jones called a public, officials called them out and activists to continue the fight against aids here in the bay area and throughout the world. >> san francisco's castro night market will return on friday, july 18th. a large crowd turned out last night for the event, which also included a celebration of pride month. the event featured live music, food along with more than two dozen vendors, and for the first time

7:53 am

8:03 am
are concerns that the company's power lines could spark a fire. this is a live look at pg e's power outage map. those purple triangles represent areas where the power is already out due to the planned shutoffs. right now, most of those shutoffs are in the areas near clayton and livermore. ktvu betty yu joins us live from contra costa county with the latest. betty. >> good morning. ali, those purple triangles you just mentioned, pg and e this morning said they represent just under a thousand customers across the bay area this morning. without power, though, it is working hard to restore that power throughout the day. right where we are right now, the national weather service is warning of gusty wind conditions later on this afternoon, making for critical weather concerns and those fast-moving grass fires. power was shut off thursday in the clayton area for 73 customers, and pg and e said power should be restored by about 9:00 this morning. now, these planned power shutoffs are
8:04 am
a preventative step triggered when weather conditions increase the risk of fires. once conditions improve, pg and e crews will be inspecting those power lines in the air and on the ground to clear away any debris or vegetation before restoring service, pg and e says advancements in forecasting and fire detection technology have helped reduce the number of customers impacted in recent years. >> we've really worked very hard in the past several years to strengthen our system to underground a lot of the lines. we do have artificial intelligence that helps us with our forecasting, and we are really making an impact in how many customers are actually experiencing psps events. the number has gotten much smaller. >> now. the bulk of the shutoffs are in alameda county, and later on this morning between 8 and 9.
8:05 am
another 68 customers there are expected to lose power as part of a second wave of shutoffs. but pg and e says again that it is working to restore power. this area in particular was expected to get its power back at 10 a.m, but that has since been updated to 9 a.m. all customers across the bay area are expected to get their power back by sunday evening. back to you guys in the studio. >> all right, betty, thank you for that. this morning. firefighters are watching out for some hotspots from wildfires that were burning, both in santa cruz county and right here in oakland. a split screen here of the two fires that caused some mighty tense moments during the time of high fire danger this week, firefighters in santa cruz county say they put out two fires that were burning in natural bridges. state beach and crews in oakland have fully contained a vegetation fire that was burning near castlemont high school yesterday afternoon, and bay area firefighters say the
8:06 am
east bay hills are particularly at risk for dangerous grass fires all weekend long, and the alameda county fire department is bringing in extra crews for what they expect will be a very busy saturday and sunday. >> once we kind of hit thresholds in the fire season, you know the door's going to open up for. we need everybody that we can to respond to these incidents. the key with a lot of these wildfires is picking them up early and keeping them small. >> herds of goats were called in. they're helping out in today's fire prevention efforts in the east bay hills. the goats are now clearing out hundreds of acres of bone dry vegetation that could catch fire. >> we have an update to a story we've been monitoring in fremont. the scene was cleared overnight in an area from mission boulevard between walnut avenue and stevenson boulevard, following a police investigation. so far, authorities have not released specific details about what exactly happened there, but there was a large police presence near that intersection,
8:07 am
including an armored swat vehicle. yesterday night, several roads were closed and the public was urged to stay away due to the police activity. we have contacted fremont police and we're working to get more information about what they were investigating there. >> time now is 806. several bay area cities holding juneteenth celebrations today. juneteenth, commemorating the day that union soldiers rode into galveston, texas, and they freed the very last enslaved african americans. two years after president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, one of the larger local events today that will take place in the city of richmond. festivities include some live music, dance performances, food vendors, and a lot of fun family activities. the parade begins at 10:00 at the fire training center on cutting boulevard, and winds up at nicholl park on mcdonald avenue. >> youth stage that is taking off. we have young leaders that are coming from all of the west county school district schools

8:09 am
angeles. it rejected judge breyer's earlier ruling in favor of newsom. >> breyer is trying to figure out, did he just lose power? did he just lose jurisdiction over those claims that were appealed to the ninth circuit, or did he basically lose power over this entire case? >> the judges on the ninth circuit court of appeals ruled that president trump acted within his legal authority when he federalized troops from the california national guard in response to the protests in los angeles. vice president jd vance is sparking a new war of words with california leaders. he flew into los angeles for a brief visit and spoke at a republican national committee summer retreat. he also met with marines and border patrol agents at a federal building command center in the westwood neighborhood. the vice president criticized governor gavin newsom and los angeles mayor karen bass for their response to anti ice protests, and the vice president is also getting some backlash for calling california's senator alex padilla. jose.
8:10 am
>> i was hoping jose padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, i guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater and that's all it is. you know, i think everybody realizes that's what this is. it's pure political theater. these guys show up. they want to be captured on camera doing something. they want to be able to go back to their far left groups and say, look, me. i stood up against border enforcement. i stood up against donald trump. >> i'm senator alex padilla. >> a spokesperson for the vice president later said, quote, he must have mixed up two people who have broken the law. end quote. vance's comments have been widely condemned by democrats and others. >> mr. vice president, how dare you disrespect our senator? you don't know his name, but yet you served with him before you were vice president, and you continue to serve with him today. >> governor newsom also reacted to the vice president's comments the governor posted on x. quote,
8:11 am
since you're so eager to talk about me, how about saying it to my face? let's debate time and place. end quote. so far, vice president vance has not responded. >> a ten year time israel and iran exchanging missile strikes for a ninth straight day. the very latest fighting in the middle east. following a day of meetings in switzerland between iran's foreign minister and his european counterparts. the summit in geneva failed to yield any breakthroughs, though iran says it won't consider any diplomatic solution to the crisis until israel stops all of its airstrikes targeting tehran and other iranian cities. >> iran is ready to consider diplomacy once again, and once aggression is stopped and the aggressor is held accountable for the crimes committed. >> meanwhile, president trump is keeping the door open to diplomacy, at least for now. the president says he will decide within the next two weeks whether the u.s. will get
8:12 am
directly involved in the growing conflict between israel and iran. >> back here in the bay area, san francisco city leaders are criticizing recent acts of anti-semitism. officials, including mayor daniel lurie, joined with the jewish community relations council for a rally at city hall. mayor lurie says san francisco has a zero tolerance policy for any acts of anti-semitism. it comes as a jewish owned business in the mission district was recently vandalized during an anti ice protest. vandals smashed windows and wrote hateful messages on the walls. >> if i have to be totally honest with you, i'm still in pain. i mean, i still close my eyes and i can see the glass on the floor of my business. i can see and i can feel what it felt like. >> the owner of manny's cafe says he plans to hire a security guard for added protection. the owner is thanking the community for helping to raise money to pay for some of the repairs. >> coming up, art is reminding its east bay riders to expect delays this weekend. trains will

8:16 am
8:17 am
why june is both men's health month and men's mental health month. and here to discuss the importance of those topics is doctor jackie shields. she's a licensed clinical psychologist with kaiser permanente of northern california. good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> all right. i'm a guy. >> yeah. >> i'm pretty good. i'm fact. i just got a new hip about a month ago. but a lot of men are really reticent about saying, hey, i need some help or preventative stuff. how come? >> you're right. this is the time to spotlight this silent crisis for men out there. i mean, men have been socialized for decades, if not centuries, to hide their emotions. and most men are okay with feeling good and fine and even okay with feeling anger. but we got to make room for that in between. >> yeah. and what is it? is it a macho thing? is it is it just a stigma that has just gone on for years because we're supposed to be, you know, the, you know, taking care of the family and not showing that weakness, that. >> kind of thing. >> yes. to all of that.
8:18 am
>> yeah. >> so the idea that men can't express emotions or cry is outdated and quite frankly, it's dangerous. this is not a women's health issue. this is a human issue. it's biology. and it's time to speak up and to ask for some help. >> it's okay to be vulnerable, i guess, right? >> it's not only okay, it's necessary. if you want to live your life and find meaning and find value in your life, you have to be vulnerable to get to the next step of wellness. >> well. >> i can see when you're sick. if you're if you're busy, it's like, i'll take care of that later. but what about physicals and just preventative type things? we're not very good at that either, i guess. right? >> correct. well, when we think about wellness, we think about physical health and mental health. it's just health, right? and so one of the things to keep in mind for folks at home is that anger is often disguised as depression. so men are not conditioned to be able to be like i feel this and i feel that. and so they can't get to
8:19 am
the next step of being able to regulate and express themselves because they couldn't get to the. >> first step to. >> let it out. >> right. >> you got to let. >> it out. got to let it out. >> yeah. and think about your car at home. you're not going to wait for it to break down to get the oil, change the filters, replace the tires. >> have you seen my car? no. >> i kid. >> you much. >> and eating disorders. i was surprised about that. a lot of women are maybe a little more into how they look, and that's another societal thing. but men have those too, right? >> yeah. so 1 in 3 men are male who have eating disorders and disordered eating and body image concerns. so folks out there that are scrolling, they're seeing six packs that are filters. they're not realistic. >> it's a little depressing, i must admit. going through facebook. >> oh my god. >> yeah. >> well, it's not real. and i think it's important to talk to our young boys and our teens about their social media diets and being able to understand those accounts and then when to hit unfollow. >> yeah. social media has definitely it's raised the bar and you know, and a lot of it's
8:20 am
unapproachable. how about just some quick recommendations for men out there, young and old alike. what what should we do? >> i think it's important for folks at home to think about think about these athletes in the world. we don't anticipate somebody's going to run a marathon without training regularly every day. and it's the same thing for mental health. mental health is fitness for the mind. so folks at home that are thinking about expressing themselves, talk to your partner, talk to your kids. be the one who checks in and not really checks out. >> yeah. >> communication is key. >> chat about it. open your heart. >> and this is the first. >> step i one of the emails we receive. normalize it, validate it, treat it. >> perfect. perfect men have an opportunity to be seen, heard, and finally helped. >> okay. >> well, thank you for the appointment this morning. >> all right, doctor. >> all. >> the best. >> we appreciate all your insight. all right, rosemary, let's talk weather. we've got a big weekend ahead and maybe a little fire danger, too.
8:21 am
>> yes. you're right. joining us on this a beautiful start to summer. we've got blue sky and we've got that fire danger to consider. so play it safe this weekend. giving you a look here as we head into san francisco there and the bay bridge system providing us with this weather pattern is going to sink in, deepen just a little bit as we roll into the afternoon. so we expect the breezy conditions to continue and the west northwest flow. that north flow is what is helping to dry things out a little bit more than what we have seen in recent days. right now, relative humidity is still up, but it's during the morning hours and we expect it to drop in the afternoon. oakland reporting a northwest breeze 17. ben lowman 13. mount diablo northwest at 14 and closer to the surface here. sfo reporting an onshore breeze 14 half moon bay. it's a gusty one for you 30mph right now and temperatures 54 degrees at half moon bay in the north bay. low 60s in

we're talking giant baseball. the giants newly acquired star rafael devers struggled mightily in his first game against his former boston mates. >> getting 102 of them. >> big swing and a miss there. that was devers striking out on a 102 mile per hour fastball, and the second out in the ninth inning against the boston red sox nearly got one, but he went zero for five before he was robbed by one of his former teammates out there at left center field. he got a lot of questions asked about his feelings about the trade and coming to the giants, and devers said he clearly just wants to
8:26 am
move on. >> that's in the past. those are not decisions that i control. and you know, that's i'm leaving that in the past. right now, i really don't want to talk about it. i want to concentrate on what's holding what's in the future for me. what happened? happened. again, like i said, i don't want to talk about the past. i just want to concentrate now in my new team and my new teammates. >> red sox, by the way, beat the giants in that series opener friday night, 7 to 5. play again at oracle park later today. and by the way, the a's will be hosting the guardians later tonight up in sacramento. >> well, tom brady kicked off fanatics fest with a special heartwarming make a wish moment. the nfl icon met a 12 year old who was battling cancer at this event in new york city. the young fan's wish involved meeting brady and other athletes, and he got it. fanatics and make-a-wish teamed up to make dreams come true for children facing critical illnesses. the two organizations have granted hundreds of wishes in the past few years. fanatics
8:27 am
fest had plenty of star power and other exciting events. competitive eating champion joey chestnut showcased his legendary abilities, easily winning a chicken tender eating contest. now, just five minutes, chestnut consumed about 40 chicken tenders. the victory is a strong warmup for chestnut as he prepares for his main event, the upcoming hot dog eating contest on the 4th of july. by the way, seated next to him, kind of in disbelief there, as you can see. can you believe it? >> he's like, are you kidding me? no way am i eating all those. >> pretty impressed. >> i did a root beer donut eating contest and didn't get very far. good for him. >> that would fill up your stomach pretty fast. all that carbonation? >> yeah, one and one. and

people in iran are exchanging missile strikes for a ninth straight day, and it appears national intelligence director tulsi gabbard has fallen out of favor with president trump as he weighs possible military action against iran. president trump says gabbard was, quote, wrong when she testified on capitol hill in march that iran was not building a nuclear weapon. the president made that statement right in front of tv cameras. >> what intelligence you have that iran is building a nuclear weapon. your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point. >> well, then my intelligence community is wrong. who in the intelligence community said that. >> your director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. >> she's wrong. >> to talk about the debate among the president's supporters and members of his cabinet over whether the u.s. should directly
8:44 am
intervene in iran and other stories and politics. this week, we want to welcome donna crane. she's political science professor and lecturer at san jose state university. good morning donna. >> good morning. >> well, we just heard it in the soundbite. we just aired president trump calling his national intelligence director, tulsi gabbard, wrong. there was also the video that went viral this week of senator ted cruz and tucker carlson sparring over the issue of intervening in iran. what do you make of this very public disagreement among the president's supporters on this issue? and which group do you think the president will ultimately side with? >> okay. well, what we're seeing sort of in real time is that there is an exposed schism. there has always been this sort of awkward knitting together of the maga movement in terms of ideology. and one of the ways in which they disagree is that you have one camp, traditional republicans who have historically been more hawkish on foreign policy, more ready to use force. and then you have the newer members of the of the coalition, the maga movement.
8:45 am
and those folks tend to be much more isolationist. and america has historically had strains of both in our population. and so they are they are now very directly poised against each other. and so these are this is one of the political factors president trump is going to have to weigh in his decision. >> where do you think most of the president's base stands on this issue? on the noninterventionist isolationist side? >> i do think most of his base stands on the isolationist side. but, you know, there are other constituencies that he considers really important, namely benjamin netanyahu and some, you know, some other more traditional conservatives who like the idea and have a decades long interest in changing the regime in iran. so i think those are the counter pressures. >> and the president has said he's going to give it about two weeks to decide whether or not to step in militarily in iran. which way do you think he goes? >> you know, i've been thinking so much about that. i think it's really, really hard to predict. but i can say, you know, for your viewers to sort of reach
8:46 am
their own conclusions. i can say that what i think is happening is that there's an interesting alignment of interests here between iran and president trump now, for very different reasons. each of them wants a deal, right? iran's military has been significantly degraded because of the strikes by israel. and on the trump side, you know, he his brand is making deals. he has the chance to sort of come in and be the good cop to benjamin netanyahu's bad cop, if you will, especially since trump decried the deal that we had with iran when he took office the first time as inadequate. if he's able to emerge, you know, holding a piece of paper and with the narrative that he's averted war, that's a really good visual for him. so i think those two interests are potentially aligned. >> and then there's the additional benefit of appealing to his base and staying out of the conflict militarily. let's talk about the military presence closer to home. a three judge panel of the appeals court says
8:47 am
that the president does have the right to take over the california national guard and maintain control of those troops in los angeles. what effect do you think that ruling will have on future protests in los angeles and other cities? >> oh, i don't know that it has a lot of effect on the la protests. i do think it sends a warning to other cities and states that, you know, this could be coming to their city next. my sense is that this week's events have been largely a win for president trump. you know, i think the national guard troops were unnecessary. the la law enforcement community said they had things well in hand. but this is the visual that president trump wanted. and i think he largely got it. and the added benefit for him is that he got it at the cost, if you will, of california newsom, which he always, you know, loves to beat up on. >> last week, when speaking of protests, when we spoke to you, you talked about some interesting research on what makes a protest and protest movement, quote unquote,
8:48 am
successful. based on that, what do you make of the protests that happened last week across the country? does it check that box? >> yeah. so there were three, three criteria that research says makes protest really successful. and i think the no kings rallies hit two, maybe two and a half of the three. so they were very large, much larger than even the organizers predicted. they were almost entirely nonviolent. they were peaceful in some cases, even sort of fun. the ones i observed here in the bay area were were peaceful and even wholesome. i would say the third message i would give it maybe a b minus, sorry, the third criterion. and the third criterion is do you have a clear message? and so there was a clear message, no kings. but what what was missing from that message is what's the call to action? you know, if i'm a member of congress and i'm on the fence on some of these big questions before me, and i see these protests, what is it you people want me to do? and so i think if that if the call to
8:49 am
action, you know, it's been a week now if it doesn't emerge very soon, then i think the energy around those, those protests which were successful in and of themselves, might could dissipate. >> especially since organizers are planning another day of demonstrations sometime next month. so you're saying they have to have that clear message locked in. >> and it better be soon. it better be very soon. >> okay, so insightful as always. thank you for the conversation this morning. donna crane of political science, lecturer and professor at san jose state university. we always appreciate talking to you. >> thanks, ali. good morning. >> all right. 848 is the time now. and we want to check in with rosemary oroczo. it is nice and clear out there, but don't be fooled. it's a little chilly. >> yes. along our coastline, especially ali. temperatures only in the upper 50s to low 60s today. pacifica, half moon bay. it will be a mild one around the bay. you can see here in the foreground. it is a dry one over the bay area at this time, and until we get into the rainy season, we are going to be with

the dry weather. that means when the winds kick up, our fire, danger comes up and that's what we're looking at for at least part of the weekend. this system here, providing the wind and it is shifting and deepening just a little bit today that is going to shift our wind a bit. we are looking at west northwest winds and you can see that here on your screen. but it's the northerly flow that begins to dry things out a little bit more than where we have been over the last couple of days. so while this continues to sink in, temperatures will come up a little bit, still be below average for this time of year. and we do expect the winds to be joining us, very similar to what we have been seeing over the last couple of days. half moon bay right now gusting to 21mph, sfo is sustained at 14, calm in hayward, a gentle breeze in livermore and a gentle reminder to just be careful out there. 58 degrees in oakland at this hour. low 60s in san francisco. as we get into the afternoon, temperatures will warm into the

just a little uptick in that fire danger. and for this time of year when we are already dry, something to consider. when you're out there. just be safe. look here at the futurecast model as this sinks in. over the next 24 hours. we've been breezy over the last few days, but again, the winds are shifting just a little bit. and with that, we do expect relative humidity to be dropping off sfo and onshore breeze at 13mph. half moon bay gusting to 24 coming in from the north and a light breeze in livermore actually onshore at eight miles per hour for you there. temperatures ranging from mid 50s at the coastline to low 60s in san francisco. in the north bay we have 63 degrees in santa rosa. how about the inner east bay? lafayette, good morning to you. at 6262 in alamo, 62 degrees right now in dublin for the livermore valley into the afternoon. going to be a nice one here. for the second part of the day, temperatures ranging from about 71 degrees for your lunch hour to upper 70s into the afternoon on the peninsula. low

[music] >> to find. you gotta be willing to trust. >> yeah, that sounds good. up next. yeah. kevin ross, award winning songwriter and singer,
9:17 am
9:20 am
>> yeah. >> put that drive to a replay. >> all right. you are listening to the award winning r&b singer. that's kevin ross performing at a sold out crowd. he was at yoshi's last night. he's 37, grew up in the washington, d.c. area, signed with motown recds in 2014. now on an independent label. plays guitar, keyboards. talented songwriter to work for greats like toni braxton, jamie foxx and nicki minaj. currently on his love up tempo tour and he's making a little studio stop right here in oakland. how are you? >> i'm doing great, man. >> how are you feeling? how did that go last night? >> it was amazing. oakland shows so much love. bay area showed so much love to me last night, so i'm forever grateful. sold out show. i don't take those for granted. and so i'm looking forward to coming back again. >> i know well you're going to be in what? antioch, i guess. >> stockton and stockton? yes. >> okay. well, we'll talk about that in a moment. but first i
9:21 am
was doing a bit of a deep dive. you went to the duke ellington school of art and then to the berklee school of music in boston. yes. so my guess is you've known a long time. this is where you wanted to go? >> yeah. i've been fanatical about music for a very, very long time. and so it's a blessing for me to do this as a career. so 11 years in music has paid all of my bills. and so. >> how about that? yes. and that's daunting getting out of college saying, can i. i'm in the arts. yes. can i make a living? right. what's that journey been like. >> the last. 11 years? the last 11 years have been amazing. just because of the fact that i've been able to use all of my gifts, not only just as a singer, but as a songwriter, as a producer, and now a label owner of art society music group. and so now distributing my own music is a dream come true, but it's also a lot of work as well. so it's not just about like the glitz and the glam, but it's like you actually have to clock in. >> there's a. >> little bit of business to this. absolutely. yes. yes. >> yeah. i've got friends that are doctors and they should get an mba too, because you got to
9:22 am
start a practice, you got to hire people and all that kind of thing. talk about some of your influences, r&b. i don't know, hip hop and rap are great, but r&b kind of got pushed to the side a. >> little bit. yeah. i mean, i think that every genre deserves, you know, their time in the sun, and i think r&b had that for a while. and now we're in kind of a reconstruction period. and so for me, a lot of the influences, of course, the stevie wonder's, the donny hathaway's all of that stuff. but what r&b never really had was an independent blueprint. i think that hip hop, i think that all of the genres have had kind of a blueprint to allow for them to say, okay, well, this is how you do this without a major label or without major support. and so i think that we're starting to, you know, kind of lay out a blueprint for future r&b artists to follow. >> well, you got a silky voice and you've got a big hit. write love in the middle. >> love in the middle is. >> number five. you tell me it's on the r&b charts right now. >> r&b billboard charts, top five. we're making sure that it goes number one, so i'm super excited about it. and people have been receiving it really, really well.
9:23 am
>> oh i bet. yeah. >> and how does that feel to hear your music and to move people? >> oh, i don't take it for granted at all because, you know, especially right now, i believe in high vibrational music. the message, the content, the visuals are all intentional. with all that's going on within the world, whether that is controversial, whatever it is, i think that people need to vibrate on a higher level, which is love, which is being thoughtful, which is being understanding and caring in that way. and so this song and this era of my music, love, up tempo and love in the middle is just an example, a demonstration of that. >> how long did it take to write that song, and did you know you had a hit? >> it took us, i want to say maybe like a day or so. absolutely. now, to record it and get the whole process done is weeks. you know, bringing the musicians and just making sure that it's right. but yeah, it took it took some time. >> and talk about your tour. i know you're in california for a while, but what's it been like
9:24 am
to be on the road and to have your music received so well? >> oh my gosh, super duper grateful. the love up tempo tour. we've been on the road for the past couple of months. we did the east coast from atlanta to new york to boston, you name it. and so now starting on the west coast as far as with oakland and yoshi's, and people showed up and showed out. and then we have la in september. and so we have dates that are in between. and so i'm just glad to be working and glad for people to receive the music. >> and what about the future for r&b? i know it's here to stay. >> yes, yes. >> maybe a bit of a rebirth. >> yes, yes. >> the future of r&b is independence for sure. i think that you're going to see a lot more independent r&b artists really get their footing, not just on socials or as far as on dsps, which are digital streaming platforms, but you'll start to see them on the charts, start charts. and so. >> yeah. >> like yourself. >> yes, indeed. >> and tell us about your gigs coming up here in the bay area. yes. so stockton as well. >> literally today i will be in antioch, california, and then i will be in stockton, california
9:25 am
for these juneteenth celebrations. and so i'm so glad to be just, you know, a part of the lineup. and we're going to have a really good time. >> all right. well, we don't have your guitars. >> but do you. >> mind just kind of singing us out to break here with with a little tune a cappella? >> yes. >> and if you want to stand up, whatever. >> you need to do, it's. >> it's cool. >> okay. >> let's see. this is the sound check. >> doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. cause you worked all day. >> and you been gone through things. >> yeah. you deserve a break. so let's stop for a little. put love in the middle. cause i just got paid. so go away cause it's all on me. so let's stop for a little. put love in the middle, baby. kevin ross. thank you. >> thank you. >> well done. in antioch. where are you playing tonight? do you know any? >> oh, that. >> is a good question. but you can make sure that you find out for yourselves. as far as.

9:32 am
manager here said that the store is well stocked in all of these supplies, especially this time of year. now, the shutoffs are a precaution, timed with the kind of weather that has fire officials on high alert. and we're talking about gusty winds and dry air. the national weather service warned of elevated to near critical fire weather conditions this afternoon. once conditions improve. pg and e crews will be inspecting those power lines to clear away any debris or vegetation before restoring service. fire officials warn that something as simple as mowing weeds too late in the day, dragging a trailer train chain, rather, or using fireworks, can ignite a dangerous blaze in just seconds. i spoke with a few shoppers this morning. >> i mean, it's generally the kind of thing you want to do when it's cooler anyway. you know, i would rather not be out in the 80, 90, 100 degrees
9:33 am
mowing the lawn, but sure. yeah, there are steps you take as far as keeping vegetation clear of the household. >> now, this morning, parts of alameda county still without power. that is the bulk of the power shutoffs this morning. additional an additional 68 customers will lose their power in alameda county. so this is not over yet, particularly for the east bay. pg. and e says that it is working hard to restoring power throughout the day. and everyone should be back online by sunday evening. live in concord betty yu, ktvu, fox two news. >> betty. thank you. prosecutors say a driver accused of running over a protester protester during the no. king's march in san francisco has been charged with felony hit and run. it happened one week ago when thousands of people filled the streets of downtown san francisco. investigators say the 44 year-old suspect struck the

la following the incident outside a home depot in hollywood. 37 year-old truck driver says he was making a delivery when he spotted federal agents attempting to detain laborers there. that's when he pulled out his cell phone to record the incident. >> the ice agent lunged at me. he pushed. he he put his hands on me, and i felt like i was he was pushing me back. he grabbed my phone from my hand and he threw it on. on the floor. and then that's when i, 3 or 4 other agents swarmed in and tackled me. >> garcia was taken to dodger stadium, which is believed to have been a transfer point for detainees in the l.a. area. he was finally moved to the metropolitan detention center and eventually released. garcia says he's still not certain if he will face charges with the incident. >> the los angeles dodgers are donating $1 million to immigrant families in the los angeles area, who have been affected by recent ice enforcement raids. the donation comes after the organization was criticized for
9:37 am
being silent on the issue, despite having a large latino fan base. immigration experts talked with us about the legal side of ice agents who wanted to use the parking lot of dodgers stadium this week to process detainees. >> i don't think there's any real concern that there's large numbers of undocumented people working in the ballparks. i'm sure that the stadium employers ensure that they have the proper paperwork on file for each and every employee, and they rely on that paperwork to ensure their compliance with the law. >> the dodgers announced a $1 million donation to benefit immigrant families, though the organization didn't say exactly where the money will go. >> palestinian activists at the center of a deportation fight has been released from ice detention center in louisiana after opening three months behind bars pending. mahmoud khalil is a legal u.s. resident. he was detained on march the 8th after taking part in

9:39 am
trump administration appealed. the company then took the case directly to the supreme court. the justices brief order did not explain their reasoning for kicking the case back, but the supreme court is usually reluctant to take up cases before the lower courts have had a chance to weigh in. an appeals court is set to hear that case late next month. canadian prime minister mark carney is planning new tariffs on american steel and aluminum imports starting july 21st. his announcement comes less than three weeks before a pause on president donald trump's reciprocal tariffs is set to end. carney says he is determined to protect canadian businesses, but also emphasize the importance of collaboration between the two countries. >> need to have ready access to u.s. markets for canadian companies and for canadian companies, and not have our hands tied in terms of our dealings with the rest of the world. >> in the meantime, japan's nippon steel has closed a deal
