i spent 43 years in golden gate park. i've never seen him there and you guys are making statements about what it's like and i'm in touch with the people themselves. each and every sunday. i'm not talking about once in while. i'm talking about every sunday . i'm my wife there, raise my kidsthere. let me tell you the people that come out there what they think. they think the closure of jfk drive is the most fantastic experience in san francisco and that's the truth . i know it. i knowit because i'm there. i'minteracting with the people . your taxpayers, your constituents andlet me tell you what the real deal is . closure changes everything . >> thank you for your comments. the one that it has expired. for members of the public there are no audible expressions of support or opposition. if you could pleaseuse your supported fingers that would be great . >> my name is louis t from new york city and i'm recently been living out here. i can see whether it's in the big city i can understand exactly how i see people who can be abl

gates: i think that question remains open. i think it is premature to say that he has given up on his aspiration of taking ukraine entirely. clearly, his initial approach failed and it failed miserably, and a lot of military mistakes were made, an incredible number of military mistakes. but that does not preclude act to -- act two. we see that in preparation in the east where it seems clear , that his intent is to seize all of the donbas. the republics only comprises 40% of the whole donbas, so he would like to take all of the donbas, and this land bridge, if you will, between russia and the ukraine that involves taking much of the black sea coast, including mariupol and perhaps probably trying to seize odesa. if he is successful in that arena, and the terrain in eastern ukraine is more compatible with the use of armored tanks and so on in -- so on than the western part of the country, then it seems to me once he has established himself firmly in those areas, i wouldn't rule out that he then begins again to move to the west un

is the gates foundation is the largest donor to who gates foundation also hires ceos of pharma companies on its board and there's too much clash of interest and this is a man who's not a elected to public office. he's not a scientist. he's not a doctor yet. he has so much power and no one questioning it and that's again kind of something. i wanted to complicate in the book. thankfully. i did have publishers who were okay printing sentence that you yes. yes. well, yeah. thank you for for breaking that down you have this example in the book too of an hiv drug that was going to be given for free. can you just share kind of sum up that? that moment and how that actually proved to be a watershed moment for for hiv drug pricing. so when the hiv drugs at some point the hiv drugs were not available in asia and africa because they were priced at of 10 to 15,000 dollars per patient per year. now most people even in the us cannot afford it and i go into how this hiv drug was funded by american taxpayers. but what happens is the entire portion that is the research and development of a drug is subsid

now, as for the future of bill gates work in the nation. well, he was asked last year if you thought that the technology for coven 19 vaccine should be shared with developing countries like india. and he said know, moving a vaccine from say, a j j pack re in to a factory in india, that it's novel. it's only because of our grandson, expertise that can happen at all. those comments later, smart debates of vaccine racism as the u. s. was widely criticized for falling behind countries like russia and china, in efforts to provide supplies to the rest of the world. but it does stop there. last year, a deal was announced between india's ministry of agriculture and microsoft, in which the tech company co founded by gates would hold a pilot program where would collect the data of farmers in $100.00 indian villages . the deal was met with outrage and $55.00 groups from across the nation came together to write a joint letter voicing their concerns. there is also been widespread concern after it was revealed that the in the director of the gates founda

gates, and my entire career that mr. gates wants to solve malaria. and the oxford funded vaccine, funded there, he handed it to an indian company as a patent monopoly. only one company in india could manufacture the drug for the rest of the world. and i mean, it doesn't take a genius to point out the concentrated supplies for the world and the kind of burden it places on india. i don't know if you remember the devastating second-- they had six months ago and that showed the vaccine supply to 91 developing countries and all of this is because mr. gates is one of the champions of knowledge monopolies and i, for the life of me, i cannot-- how they keep talking about this complicated race to get vaccines to poorer countries, when the simplest and the most direct way is to transfer technology and let these nations manufacture it for ourselves as against manufacturing it and exporting it to them. and i do quote -- in the book who says charity is the opium of the rich. and that's the crux of what the gates foundation's, again, the model underpinning of the

but i do need to ask about bill gates. and the gates foundation, huge nonprofit. given up 60 million in grants since they began last year alone. they funded work in 134 countries there appeared in the space of health equity research, development funding . but to quote you, you write bill gates has adequate the mind of a genius and the morals of the. let's talk about. >> thank you for that question. so india is the largest beneficiary of the gates foundation and my entire career as a health reporter i've been with mister gates quite a few times. and mister gates wants to solve malaria. we have a disease with coronavirus has been canceled but what he did was the oxford university funded vaccines. he handed it to an indian company as a package monopoly so only one company in india manufactured their jobs. for the rest of the world. and it doesn't take a genius to find that concentrated supply for the world. i don't know if you remember the devastating second wave they had six months ago and that drove the vaccine supply to 91 countries and all of this is because mist

still not seeing a lot at that point from the golden gate south. past that here we are at 11:00 and we are seeing showers through the city, south bay, peninsula. the pattern was to keep majority of the rain in the north bay throughout today. if you look at the rainfall totals we pick up a half inch of rain here, maybe a tenth, 0.2. a cloudy view from our cameras. temperatures are in the mid 50s. it is relatively warm and we manage to warm up to the low 60s for some warmer spots today. more rain coming on saturday morning. >>> i will keep a close eye on the roads because as the day progresses, we will get that rain and slick surfaces might be an issue. there are not a lot of cars on the road way, lots of green on the censors but that can change. most bay area bridges are quiet though you can see our lens there is blurry because we are getting the wet weather. the golden gate bridge is not bad. everything is moving nicely. they have not done lane changes or removed the cones on the north bound side. your marin county commute is at the limit as you he

gates said show your receipts. show me what was illegal. i'm not sure exactly what mccarthy and scalise were referring to. i remember in that time we reported that mccarthy was telling his house republicans colleagues they needed to stop calling out fellow members of congress by name. he said that publicly. he said it to the entire house republican conference and, quite frankly, gates does it all the time. he's called out liz cheney by name and a whole host of republicans by name. i'm not sure that would rise to the level of illegality. i'm not sure what mccarthy and scalise were talking about. i think they're talking about that general phenomenon as calling people out and urging constituents to do something. i'm not sure what he was urging them do. >> matt gates said representative mccarthy and representative scalise held views about president trump and me and they shared on sniveling calls with liz cheney, not us. what's your understanding for the appetite of the january 6th committee to have mccarthy speak to them? >> what bennie thompso

i will stay right behind his back gate. >> presidential recordings. finally on the c-span, will abhor where if get your podcast. >> robert gates took part in a discussion about the russian invasion of ukraine. he talked about present prudent possibles for the war and the u.s. role in the conflict. he spoke about the challenges of political polarization and the need for long-term planning when it comes to u.s. foreign policy toward china and russia. >> good morning, good afternoon, good evening. no small matter in these days. he served eight u.s. presidents across both parties through various positions at the cia, the national security council and finally the pentagon. former president barack obama awarded him the presidential medal of freedom. america's highest civilian honor. welcome to carnegie connects. your presence here could not be more timely. >> i am pleased to be with you. >> i thought that we would start our conversation by talking a little bit about your analysis before we get to the famous question about what is to be done. much of the ear

but we will start to see it moving south of the golden gate after your evening commute. and after that wednesday night into thursday on into friday morning. good to be consistently rainy for the bay area and consistently snowy for the sierra. look at those pockets of heavier rainfall that we'll have rolling across the region during your early morning hours of thursday. that's going to be the hardest one. as far as your morning commute goes thursday and friday, mornings drives to work. definitely going to be slick indefinitely. ones you want to plan on getting to the roads early for rainfall totals. once we look ahead towards this next system could be quite significant. some pockets could be well over an inch of rainfall. this is so nice. we saw 8 inch of rainfall for much of the bay. last week we saw multiple feet of snowfall in the sierra last week. we're keeping that momentum going for yet another week. right now we are under winter weather advisories up in the sierra nevada right around lake tahoe. tell 11:00am. we'll see those briefly expiring than going right back i

there had then says senior tories fear party gate will alienate traditional vote in there saying they are worried that traditional tory supporters are abandoning them after boris johnson�*s party gate fine is another mp, the conservative mp has broken cover to say the prime minister should be removed over his conduct. this will be the crucial test for the prime minster going forward. the disclosure that he has been fined for his birthday celebration but clearly the party gate saga is not over yet with more fines issued, potentially more vines to the prime minister because of the events he was at the crucial thing politically is of course when it first broke everyone was thinking and lots of tory mps were saying we have lost confidence in him, he must go and it was getting quite close to the number of votes required for a vote of confidence. the ukrainian war intervened and the heat has gone off a little bit at the moment but it does depend crucially on what tory mps think. the voters in general, the conservative vote in particular who they rely on to get them back into parliament in

here is scalise talking today about, basically telling matt gates i am sorry, kind of. take a listen. >> so i share that with matt, i am sorry that those comments caused him problems. because it with things that were conveyed from me from a member of places. you can go back to those days after january 6th. there were a lot of reports floating around. some turned out to be true, some. not so, as you are having private conversations, commenting on those things, ultimately the concerns i had were that there were members getting death threats. that was something that i surely wanted to be vocal at pushing back on. but he and i talked about that. >> you know, i am thinking here the distinction between when they are doing here, and what they are doing in madison cawthorn. guns are policing. they are out. they were tweeting about the insider creating, and his son was telling a podcast about coke orgies. that he says he has been invited to, and that members in congress are participating in. and it is like, they are -- in some ways, it is like they are showing how they can go af

we have light rain from the golden gate south. but that's the better rain right there through the afternoon. it is focused in the north bay where we will get close to a half inch of rain today. it will be bigger totals in the north bay mountains. temperatures are in the low 50s. we are only going to the upper 50s, low 60s for daytime highs. this temperature is obviously not the story. the next chance of rain is saturday morning. watch the timing on that. we will go to the predawn hours of saturday. that is another widespread rainmaker for the bay area. it will stay rainy through first half of saturday. you have to account for rain for your saturday plans, especially in the morning with maybe a few left over showers into saturday afternoon. by sunday, no rain. sunday is a nice break in the action and we'll even warm up and see temperatures in the low 70s for daytime highs inland sunday. that's saturday's totals, pick up another quarter to half inch of rain. it keeps slowing in the sierra. this might be the biggest impact on the roa

the golden gate bridge has been golden all morning. and still it is at this hour, too. you know what else is golden and the warriors? warriors? yeah. looking kick off around 2 of the playoffs. >> they don't quite know yet who they're going to play. it will be either memphis or minnesota. there be playing game 6 tonight. kron 4 sports director jason dumas takes a look in talks to steph and klay. >> the dogs are moving on. a nice gentlemen sweep of the denver nuggets. how polite of staffing company, golden state will play either minnesota or memphis. that could be on sunday tuesday. stepan company, though, whatever day will be. are going to be locked in a locked and loaded as they prep for their next matchup. >> means a lot just sits. you know, every take it for granted. understand being on the stage, understand we'll hopefully have a lot lot left to do. but >> getting to the playoffs and, you know, getting to series winning 4 games against a good team like it's it's it's hard, but we still remember how to do it, which is. >> which is a good, a good feeling. >> we're not

but they're gonna get him a life. >> gates, congressman gates tweeted tonight, this is the behavior of week, men not leaders. he said, well i was protecting president trump from impeachment, they're protecting liz cheney from criticism. and, he goes on from there ranting on from there. kevin mccarthy's struggles -- we see the struggle he was in about time, and now that whole struggle has revisited itself know that the tapes come out. he's gonna have to go through it all again. >> yeah, it's gonna go on and on. it's not ironic, it's just insane that public enemy number one and today's republican party's list cheney. a lifelong, rock ribbed, conservative republican. republicans republican. he couldn't be more conservative, she couldn't be more dedicated to used to be the party's ideals. and she is the worst thing that you can say about kevin mccarthy, or anybody, but they are alive. somehow dulles cheney. that says everything you need to know about just how off the rails today's republican party is. and we really should worry what happens to the house of representatives. mountains of thi

is it hippie hill in golden gate park to tell us what's new at the event this year? good morning, jessica. dave good morning to you and the finishing touches for the 4 20 celebration put in place yesterday and during the overnight hours all that's left now welcoming in an estimated 20,000 attendees here at golden gate park, let's go ahead. take a look at our video. this is the first time this world renowned and truly staple of san francisco celebration has returned in three years this year, sees a city partnering with private event organizers sounds bizarre and for the first time regulated and tested cannabis products will be available for purchase at the event. you heard that right? new developments also brings new restrictions. no one under 21 will be allowed to enter the area of robin williams meadow, which will be surrounded by fencing. and staff will check identifications and bags that you bring into the park. because this is the first year where there are legal sales. state law requires us you will not be allowed in unless you are 21. everybody just get stoned

but now we're live san fran and gold gate park. christien kafton. ktvu. green have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. additionally 18 others shaded blue on this map have legalized medical marijuana. but federally as we all know marijuana is still considered an illegal drug , which can complicate things in places like california where cannabis is legal. california voters approved the legal use of recreational marijuana back in 2016, allowing for the sale. purchase. and can of cannabis products those who are over 21 right now, there are about 900 dispensaries open across california, but for many of them, making a profit can be difficult. ktvu said, really talked to one dispensary owner in oakland who has been grappling with a number of challenges. it's gonna be a day for us for everybody the bay area commune and consume this 4 20 tuckey blunt, the owner of blunts and more marijuana dispensary in east oakland has mixed feelings. the ex felon, former street dealer says. even as some people celebrate, blunt says he needs to be well, blunt. if i had t
