and finally, california is running out of water. just tell me they won't run out before they get a chance to make that "full house" reboot! everybody separate your plastics from your cardboards. this is "the nightly show "-- let's do this! captioning sponsored by comedy central >> yes thank you very much. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. >> welcome to "the nightly show." we got the writing and the props all in order for tonight. we have discussed it all and it's all in good shape >> we're going to starts the show with a new segment: (singing) "black people can't do nothin'!" >> "black people can't do nothin'!" >> ok. >> today's thing black people can't do? ride bicycles. >> according to the tampa bay times, in the past three years tampa police have written more than 2500 bike tickets. and a new investigation shows that 8 out of 10 of those tickets were issued to -- >> wait. does anyone care to venture a guess who 8 our 10 of those tickets were issued to? keep in mind that this segment is called, "black peop

to california students. michael: i think that's a myth that we really need to keep addressing with our california cohort. it's not true so the fact is that out-of-state students don't compete, don't take the spots of california students. we are enrolling at our campuses the entire cohort of californians that we get state funding for. in fact, some of the monies that are brought in by non-resident students are used-- jessica: goes to pay for those california students. michael: are used to you know help other californians have access to the university. so i--what i would say is that if you take this as a pedagogical issue, it's going to enhance a california student's education to have students from other states and other countries be part of their educational experience because when they enter a global society, either in the workforce or through graduate school, they aren't gonna be competing with just california students. jessica: right. okay, lay it out for me. what do i need to get into a uc school? michael

effects of the drought in california. a 22% decrease in the agricultural areas, which are the roughly the equivalent of the surface water the firm not have last year because of the drought. there is a lot that can be non-technologically, but until you get the public -- pricing right, and the political economy -- that can be done technologically, but until you get the pricing right, -- amy: what about stewart reznick and his connection to the governor of california? mark: not just the governor, but as you mentioned mr. reznick is a billionaire, and he made his money by being a smart farmer and a great marketer. he hired stephen colbert to do a super bowl commercial for pistachios. he has seen, as many big business people do, you have great advantages if you throw a lot of money around in politics, and he has been a bipartisan campaign contributor to republicans and democrats alike -- but much every governor -- senator dianne feinstein, all of them, have been recipients of mr. reznick's campaign contributions. in a way, the

other parts of california-- california, obviously has a very strong environmental culture, and a lot of people are skeptical of it. a lot of say why turn to desalination? it's almost an extreme response compared to conservation, compared to reclaimed water. >> stewart: and the environmental issue is the extra salt that comes out of the water, what happens to it when you fut back in the ocean? is that right? >> reporter: one big factor, yes. there's a lot of leftover salt if you're not careful, if it's dumped back in all at once it's much denser than sea water so it sinks and can hurt sea life on the bottom wherever it's dumped. it takes a lot of energy to run a desal positive plant and people grouse about the carbon footprint as well. >> stewart: daniel potter from kqed, thanks for sharing your reporting >> stewart: want to know more about desalination? see the step-by-step process in our video from the israel plant. visit facebook.com/newshour. >> this is pbs newshour weekend saturday. >> stewart: a couple of million people visit the prado museum in madrid, spain, each year to see w

and that the game -- that became the law of the land in california. i see my california friends in the audience. [applause] that was a huge victory. and so, naturally as you might imagine, when this system was passed and implemented immediately, all of the power players tried to do -- tried to figure out what to do about it. could they overturn it? could they cut some sort of deal that would in ely rate -- emilia rate the effects of that. i said, let's have become precision. let's deal with the issues. let's break it down. but most of all, let's do that in such a way that we can bring the people of california the people of america, all of the people into the process of saying what kind of democracy we want to have. that is our job. that is our job. [applause] so, in california, i wanted to share this with you, this tickled me a bit. recently, the university of california-berkeley journal of politics and policy came out with their february edition. the entire addition was devoted to an analysis of the impact of top two. they published 15 articles writt

california farmers feed the world. there is a huge fight between them and residents because city dwellers have to cut back their water, farmers don't. people are going nuts over almonds. it takes one gallon of water to make one almond. what do the farmers say, especially sips most of those nuts are exported. >> if city residents have to cut 25%, why don't you have to cut 25%. >> unfortunately, we're in the federal irrigation district. i know we've taken criticism in the last couple of weeks that the farmers aren't doing their fair share. i will tell you two years ago we got 40% of our water allocation. -- three years ago. two years ago we got 20%. last year we got zero. >> reporter: could some of your groundwater be pumped to go to cities? in other words, take it away from these trees and send it to people who need to drink water? >> well ultimately people will always have the first call on water and in an extreme situation i'm sure that up and down the state, groundwater pumped resources would somehow be delivered to

a los alamos man recently spotted a california condor in his backyard and took these photos. condors are reportedly the largest flying birds in north america. this bird is part of the condor recovery program, so really cool to see that just out there in the backyard. >> you know that fairlawn swim we talked about? >> yes, the one we're hoping to do. >> i couldn't do it. rob mayeda would do it. >> with a boat. i'll gladly watch. no way, that water is too cold off of the coast. the air temperature kind of chilly too, off our cool pacific ocean. the ocean air conditioning that we're talking about. 63 in san francisco, 71 in san jose. a few high clouds going on by. you see oakland breezy at this hour. 68 degrees at the home of the warriors there at oracle. 63 right now in san francisco. the wind will be part of our weather story tomorrow as they briefly change direction and allow for temperatures to warm on up. inland sacramento close to 80 tomorrow. sacramento could be closing in on 90 degrees. truckee up to 55 degrees right now. those wind speeds as you saw bouncing around our

the gentleman from california. mr. mcclintock: this frees funding at last year's level until the authorizing committees sit down and review them and revise them. nor is anything in this affected by this freeze. i appreciate my friend from idaho's sympathy but i would trade it for his support. and i would point out that this amendment, the whole point of this amendment that authorizing committees have got to review, re-authorize, revise or repeal these measures. they have got to do one of those things, but why should they -- why would they want to go to all of the fuss and bother of reviewing these programs tasking on entrenched interests, asking hard questions making people cranky in the process, when all they have to do under our current practice is sit there and do absolutely nothing and the funding just like the mighty mississippi, just keeps rolling along. we cannot continue down this course responsibly. we have a responsibility to the american people to do that heavy lifting, to go through these programs with a fi

jane wells has more on california's first ever mandatory water curbs. >> reporter: the drought california is about to get real. it has not been this dry in the golden state since the 1980s when george hurst, william randolph's father bought this property. i'm at hurst cap and the grass is low and so is the water table. after years of threats, the governor is demanding the state water resources slashed use by 25%. among the orders the governor wants to replace 50 million square feet of lawns on government property with drought tolerant plants. create a temporary rebate for consumers to apply appliances with more efficient ones. require golf courses and other large facilities to significantly cut water use and ban new homes and developments for using water for landscaping unless they use drift irrigation. not yet in this order, water rationing. that is not happening statewide for consumers. however, it is happening in specific communities like the ones around hurst castle here and while the pool is empty is renovated due to a leak, it's unclear whether it will be refilled. this castle gets

in california we approach this in a somewhat different way. because we have a very robust financial aid system in california. so at the university of california, 55% of our undergraduates pay no tuition because they come from families that make less than $80,000 a year. as i mentioned, the key driver is that public investment from the states have gone down. >> any reason to believe that money is going to come back though? >> well, we hope. as state budgets are restored as moneys come back into the coffers, we're advocating in california that it's time to reinvest in the university of california and the cal state university system. california has the best system of higher education of any state in the country. i ought to know, i was the governor of another state. so i know the comparisons. and so for a state like california, based on innovation entrepreneurship and all of the things that make california such a great place to be and such a great economic engine for the country, all pivot off of the higher education system that we have. >> the pr

we have a problem in california. one in four kinder gart ens in this state -- kinked gart ens. >> so complicated medically speaking now. all of the things that we've done to alter the nature from natural to something less than natural, it has become incredibly dangerous in many -- okay. but the minute it enters the political arena and becomes the subject of law, it becomes a question of debate. it becomesan emotional issue and appears that the legislature is reacting to the push pack. they'realready talking about amendments for religious exemption and others. >> and in part, it is because of the nature of who you's now in the legislature. people whowould develop the level of security by virtue of tenure where they could push back oo all of these demands, it would be a brand among their particular voters. that's nolonger the case. everyone ofthese people who currently hold elected office is almost as if they're on their first bus trip, their first ride and they don't have the comfort level of being able to sper suede

california's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state. natural weather trends are the primary factors. still, extremes are becoming the norm. 2014 will go down as the warmest year ever recorded worldwide. for climate scientists understanding why is evolving with every event. california's storm of the decade may, in fact, be tied to a recently observed phenomenon known as atmospheric rivers. >> atmospheric rivers are here to stay. it's chalk full of water vapors, strong winds, and is carrying ten times the water. >> it seems to be very severe weather phenomenon. >> well, there is a lot to learn in terms of atmosphereic rivers behave, and now dust particles can impact clouds over the ocean and over land. >> over the coast in san diego we got a lesson on how particles in the ocean interact with clouds and may hold the key. >> when we see the dust, when we see that present in the clouds we see lots of snowfall in the ground. >> dr. kimberly prather is a chemist at scripts institution of oceanography. we can see how dust and sea spray affect w

what are lawmakers doing to try to curb smoking in california? >> once again, there is an effort to curtail smoking. i tell you something, most of the energy is directed toward young people, and many of the new round of proposals, vicky, could affect just about all of us in one way or another. according to a recent study released by nursing school's institute of health and aging, smoking causes californians $18.1 billion. that's $487 per californian. there's more than the cost in dollars. there were 33,663 smoking related deaths in california, 17 times those the number who die from aids and five times the number of those who die from diabetes and pneumonia. the push is to to make it more difficult to smoke. >> 37,000 californians died in one year from smoking-related illnesses. >> that doesn't include those who died from secondary illnesses as well. >> what i found interesting is californians actually smoke less than residents do in many other states, right? >> you're right, california ranks ninth of residents who smoke. according to the state de

i don't see the california retreating on that. it will probably have some effect, but the truth is that there's a mechanism. >> let's open it up for questions. and i believe there are microphones. let's start the first and i saw was way in the back. >> maybe a few years ago i heard they were trying to define what is an electric car. and general motors indicated that the volt is an electric car and then we heard analysis saying that it's not a to electric car, it's a hybrid. however, it's just an electric motor. is the batteries for electric motor -- automatic we have the japanese small electric car the hybrid car. that's considered a hybrid. what are the percentages that are required in these limitations you know, california 2017 or 2016? >> how do we define the electric car? >> and i have another point. i live in a high rise, 300 units, and i wondered a couple years ago about getting a plug-in hybrid and i needed a myspace but i haven't underground space and i wonder how to handle this. they said they were looking for but absolut

miss hale >> there's been some activity at the california puc that we wanted to report on. you will recall i have reported a number of times now on their activities with respect to pg&e's green tariff application. they issued their decision, the cpuc, california puc, issued their decision in late january and that decision was forth the schedule for pg&e to file their advice letters, which are the implementation filings that the utilities make after the california commission tells them what they have authority to do. and that advice letter, pg&e will be providing more specificity around a number of the program's features including final rates for the program that they are planning to launch. the sdis, i spoke to some important issues but also deferred a number of issues. for example, the community outreach and strategy for engaging low income customers, i think that's an important issue for san francisco's interest. options for making the green tariff more affordable in particular and we're particularly interested in the fact that they have deferred consideration of how to i

>> well california is the nation's breadbasket. much of the produce and fruits and vegetables that are consumed in the u.s. and around the world are grown in california's central valley. agriculture uses about 80% of the total water usage for one year. almond is one of the big - almond crops use a lot of water, it's one of the biggest water consumers when you talk about large farms and big ag. there's a lot of smaller farms as well that cater to the farmer's market and do the farm to table. but what is happening with the farms is they have already seen, for the past few years, huge reductions in the amount of water that the state allocates to the farms for irrigation. some farms have received no allocation over the last few years, others saw cutbacks, and they were having to buy water. it is at least three times as expensive, and the smaller farms rely on groundwater, that is not replenished because like you said, it never rains in southern california - as it turns out it never rains in california at all, it seems. the farmers have
