Today in the Bay : KNTV : August 18, 2024 7:00am-8:00am PDT : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive (2024)

good morning. it is sunday, august 18th and we're taking a

live look outside at oracle park at the giant race that started just moments ago. you see people taking off to the races right here. we have crowds of people excited to get their day started running right there at the ballpark. thanks for joining us. i'm velena jones in for kira klapper today. cinthia pimentel has a look at your microclimate forecast. how's it looking cynthia? we see lots of sunshine there through orange park. but the fog is rolling around here and there through the golden gate bridge. definitely a different scene than what we started with yesterday. our cameras soaked in with that drizzle. we see clear skies for our sunday. it's a bit gloomy down here through the south bay, dealing with a little bit of that cloudy attitude. but look at that. our microclimates. lots of sunshine out there towards the tri valley. we're going to remain still through a below average temperatures this weekend. continuing that cool weekend for us here. 81 in santa rosa, 68 there in the city, 80 degrees out in livermore and 75 down here in downtown san jose.

as we go on and plan our sunday, we'll see more of that afternoon sunshine and feel the breezy winds through the afternoon and actually drive up those temperatures a little bit more as we get our workweek started here monday. and tuesday. it will be brief, because as we go through the rest of the workweek, i'm already tracking a bit of a cooldown kind of an interesting pattern, so i'll be back with that in about 15 minutes. velena. all right. thanks, cynthia. well, we have breaking news this morning. several people are displaced after a three alarm structure fire in the east bay. the fire started around 3 a.m. on west buchanan road at the woodland hills apartment building in pittsburgh. now, take a look at this. you can see flames ripped through the apartments. people inside said they smelled smoke and had to find a way out. it took a minute to come to and then i smelled the smoke. and then i saw the flames. we started kicking, banging on the doors, trying to wake everyone up. scary situation there. firefighters are still on scene this morning mopping up the area. no word on how the fire

started. and a major shakeup in the real estate industry. yesterday was the first day of new rules nationwide governing governing how realtors are getting paid and who pays them. the changes come after the national association of realtors settled a series of class action lawsuits alleging the groups compensation rules violated antitrust laws. today, in the bay's marianne favro reports from los altos on how the new rules impact bay area buyers and sellers. one of the first changes you may notice is at open houses, because now attendees will be required to sign in and indicate if they have an agent and who that person is. the new changes are aimed at increasing transparency. previously, when a home was sold, the seller typically paid a 5 or 6% commission that was divided between the agents for the buyer and the seller. now, a seller gets to decide whether to pay

the buyer's broker anything, and if so, how much. and sellers agents are no longer allowed to advertise commissions to buyers agents on multiple listing services. crystal wong recently purchased a home and believes this change offers buyers more transparency. i think it's a really positive change. you're going into it knowing as a buyer you're not being steered in one direction or another. you're being steered towards the properties that meet your criteria, not towards the properties or the sellers are going to pay your agent a higher fee or not. another change the buyer and their agents are going to have a formalized agreement, very much like the seller and the seller's agent. that agreement must spell out exactly what commission the buyer will pay their agent. real estate agent patrice horvath, founder of illuminate properties in los altos, says she does not anticipate the changes will have a big impact on the bay area

real estate market, where inventory is low and demand is high. i don't see it affecting pricing. i don't see it affecting the number of offers. i really don't see that affecting that part of the market. i just see confusion. as for real estate agents, they will now have to grapple with 30 additional forms. but because they'll have agreements with buyers, they know that if they spend years helping their client find a home, they will be compensated in the end. marianne favro today in the bay. vallejo police say two officers in a patrol car were shot at early yesterday morning. it happened during a routine patrol near harbor way and marine island way. the officers heard multiple gunshots and responded in the direction of the shots. they soon discovered that their patrol vehicle had been struck by at least one bullet. they called for help and chp officers, as well as multiple other agencies responded. the incident remains under

investigation. no one was hurt. now to politics and the countdown to the democratic national convention. a new poll shows vice president harris gaining ground on former president trump in four key battleground states. the new york times siena college poll shows the rivals within the margin of error in arizona, north carolina, nevada and georgia. these are states where polls showed president biden trailing before harris took over the top of the ticket. massive security preparations are underway in chicago, with thousands of protesters expected to descend on the city for the dnc monday. fencing lines, the streets, some roads are closed off and a large protective zone has been built around the united center, where vice president harris is set to formally accept the nomination. now, just like the republican convention in milwaukee, secret service is taking the lead inside the perimeter. but local authorities are responsible for everything

else. chicago's police chief says he is ready. it's a huge project, but the chicago police department and the city as a whole is used to working toward something this large. large protests are expected a block from the united center. the biggest is expected to draw more than 20,000 people calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and an end to military aid for israel. police superintendent snelling says his officers received special training focused on de-escalation and respecting constitutional rights, but warns violence and vandalism will not be tolerated. we have full coverage from the dnc all week. our damian trujillo will bring us live updates from chicago. his coverage starts tonight right here on nbc bay area and it's bittersweet weekend for bay area baseball. it's the final weekend for the bay bridge rivalry. last night was the first game of the

series, and the a's beat the giants two zero, shutting them out for the second time this week. the game drew in a season high of over 37,000 fans, but some fans say they didn't even make it into the stadium to enjoy the start of the game. this is how the view of the lot looked from our traffic cam. take a look right here. look at that line of cars trying to get in. this was around the sixth inning. we got calls and heard from fans on social media. they said they waited hours and couldn't make it in. the a's say the team did not oversell parking passes, but that those who arrived late had to go further away for parking and a huge rock concert just wrapped up in san francisco. tens of thousands were in golden gate park for the show, headlined by systems of a down and deftones. today in the bay's alyssa goard explains why it's the latest in a line of recent shows aiming to change the narrative about the city. while an estimated 50,000

people showed up to golden gate park for a concert headlined by deftones, who hail from sacramento and system of a down. once in a lifetime. they definitely. i mean, they haven't toured in so long. heavy metal fans streamed into the fog covered park. this show is sold out. it is put on by a production company called another planet entertainment, which just put on the outside lands festival last weekend. organizers say tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale, and that 90% of attendees are from out of town. i'm from kansas city, missouri, fort lauderdale, minneapolis san francisco is expecting an economic boost from this show and the chance to change the narrative about the city for out-of-towners. since we've been, well, almost teenagers, it's been that long since, you know, we've been following these bands. so for us, it was a chance to get out of town, have

some fun, and enjoy san francisco. what it has to offer. this is the inaugural show for the golden gate park concert series. it's part of the city's larger effort to make san francisco a music destination, with a concert at the embarcadero in july and an electronic show in june at civic center. i think music is a key part of kind of the cultural ecosystem in san francisco, and the more the city can invest in music as a cultural driver, i think the more success we'll see as a city. as for the neighbors in the outer richmond near this show. it's cool. i don't like how much traffic there is as far as parking. i just had to park all the way up the street. they say parking is in short supply, but many actually enjoy having the music in the distance. alyssa goard. today in the bay. looks like fun, will. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up we take you live to washington, d.c. for a weekly for a preview ofristen welker

ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪

it takes a rebel to make something beautiful. beauty takes courage. it's an act of joy. so resist the ordinary. and embrace the wow. at floor & decor.

for joining us this morning. we know that democrats are gathering in chicago as the democratic national convention kicks off tomorrow. so how do you think vice president harris's new economic plan to cut taxes for more than 100 million middle class and low income americans play a part in her message to voters this week. hi, velena. great to be with you. well, i think it will be one of the centerpieces of the message that we hear. the fact that she's going to promise to make the country fairer, the tax code fairer. that's one of the platforms that she's running on. that's a part of her platform, i should say. but the question is, will we get more details? so far, we don't know a whole lot about how she would govern if she were, in fact, to be elected. in addition to taxes, she called for a ban on price gouging of groceries. that's actually a somewhat controversial proposal. so we'll be listening closely to see what

she has to say. on thursday, her big keynote address really, the biggest test of her entire political career. i'm told there will be a lot of biography involved in her speech, but how much meat will she actually put on the bones? will she continue the biden agenda? will she break from it? what does she have to say about what progressives are calling for, both globally and nationally? so there are a lot of question marks, and it also comes as chicago, as the nation is bracing for tens of thousands of protesters to descend upon the windy city. how will that impact what happens inside the convention hall? so a lot to track this week in chicago. velena all right. thanks for joining us. christian thank you. and if you missed meet the press this morning at 6 a.m, don't worry. you can watch the show online on any of our streaming platforms. coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at the excitement growing for

democrats as the dnc starts. and the difference we may see from the republican convention. well, eggs are a bit more expensive. have you noticed? researchers say it's linked to an outbreak of bird flu for the first time in more than a year. the cost of a dozen large eggs topped $3 last month, and prices overall have soared 19% in july compared to last year. now, that's according to new data from the consumer price index released this week. researchers blame bird flu on wiping out supplies and driving up costs. they say the disease has recently been surging in california and colorado, and galaxycon is underway in san jose at the convention center, one of the highlights will be a visit by captain kirk himself, william shatner. our scott mcgrew says the star trek leader was a huge influence over boys growing up in the early 70s. so you got to keep in mind velena. we had four

channels to choose from after school or any time. and the chances are in the 70s, star trek was running on one of those channels, sometimes more than once a day. by that time, the tv show was already in repeats, and we watched captain kirk, who always did the right thing, doing it with humor and panache and of course, always getting the girl. william shatner, who played captain kirk, will be at galaxy con today, later this afternoon. he'll do a live narration of the movie star trek v the final frontier, sort of a live action dvd commentary. i got a chance to speak to shatner. the other day. i've interviewed him a few times in the past and in the past. i had noticed he could be slightly dismissive of what kirk and star trek meant to people. i asked him about that, and he said it took him decades to understand what he had done on the show. i realized i've missed a great deal by my not shyness, but self-consciousness of looking at

myself. so several actors i've read or heard about feel the same way about looking at themselves on screen. there's something like, you don't like the way you look, you don't like the way you sound, you know, and it's and it's it could interfere with your self-confidence. of appearing in front of a large number of people. if you don't feel good about yourself. so i've tried to avoid looking at myself on screen, and so i know less about star trek than you do. shatner will narrate his movie star trek five this afternoon at the san jose convention center. tickets to the convention and the screening, and you're going to need one of each at galaxycon.com. all right, well, some animals in san francisco found forever. homes the san francisco spca held an adoption event yesterday. it was part of our clear the shelters campaign over the past ten years, nbc and telemundo stations nationwide have helped over 1 million pets

find homes. it was just one of many local shelters participating in the campaign, and it says it's working on getting 75 animals adopted during the campaign last year. here we did 53 animals and our target this year is 75, so we're looking to break that as our new record. and i'm excited. i really i think we're going to do it. let's break it. well if you missed the event the shelter is also holding one on september 7th and all animals will be free. and this was just the first of our big adoption events. there are three more to come. you can see some of the dates on your screen right there. all of the info on the event locations and times can be found on nbcbayarea.com. slash clear the shelters. i love those four-legged best friends and we had some in the studio yesterday too did. we had velena jones who is a senior dog. she's available for adoption. she is so just

such a good dog. she's cute, a little chihuahua. we heard she'll go for a walk if you want to, otherwise she won't push you. so that sounds great. okay, that's kind of like me, right? and at the san francisco spca, they posted one that they have a little kitten named cinthia pimentel and she is so cute. really makes me want to get one. but i have two dogs of my own that keep me busy. keep you busy. it's a great campaign. exactly. so if you're in need of a pet, please, please go check them out. i know, and the weather couldn't be more perfect to take your four legged friend. today there is an event at the oakland zoo. look at this weather. we do start out with a few patchy clouds to start through midmorning, but then going into some low 70s, that's perfect. puppy playing time in oakland today we will be seeing more clearing throughout the state. we were dealing with some unusual august weather yesterda, but throughout the bay area and up to our north, we will be getting into some more sunday sunshine to help plan your day

ahead. it looks like most of the little bits of fog remain by the coast. so what do those temperatures look like as we take it? hour by hour for you into noontime, some mild low 70s through the north bay, mid 70s for concord and some low 70s down through morgan hill, 60s and breezy conditions out by the bay shore into the afternoon. we're still remaining below average for this time of year. we're going to see some low 80s up into parts of lake and mendocino counties. vacaville as well as out towards livermore, 79 in los gatos. this afternoon, upper 60s down the peninsula. it will remain breezy into the afternoon. you've gotten used to this pattern as we've gone through the week. and speaking of the week, let's look at what's ahead as we go into monday and tuesday. we'll get a brief warm up as we go on into the first half of the week, but then notice what happens here. eyes on there as we go on into wednesday. thursday, a low will be dropping through the pacific northwest. depending on how close it comes into the bay area. that's going to really

shift our pattern a little bit. we could be talking about the chance of getting into some more rain action here, but definitely the breeze will be kicking up and the potential for some gusty winds and that cloud cover. monday on into tuesday we're going to start to kick up those temperatures a little bit, but then briefly bring them back down as we go on into wednesday here. and notice on the 7-day forecast, 80s to start the week here to some valley 80s and 90s for our tuesday. that will be the brief period of warm up here and going into the second half of the week. we will trend things a little bit cooler as we deal with that low pressure system. san francisco won't notice too much of a change, just some nice mild and sunny sunshine for tuesday. the motivation to get us through this week ahead. but overall, we'll stay in the 60s with the mix of sun and clouds. i'm not ready for like fall weather yet. i'm still ready for those not like hot, hot temperatures, but you know, still in the high 80s. we got everything for everybody here. so those microclimates

make us lucky. yeah all right. thanks, cynthia. well, there's much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up. the a's enjoying the home field advantage at the coliseum. how the crowd ignited the a's in game one of the bay bridge series against the gian. sports ists

as bay area rivals. speaking of emotions. jose canseco getting choked up after he was inducted into the a's hall of fame. two more members of six the class, six member class of 2024 also getting their jackets. former shortstop miguel tejada and terry steinbach, who played all over for the a's. all right. no score. bases loaded in the fifth. lawrence butler with a sac fly that scores. zack gelof and the a's take a one. nothing lead as osvaldo bido kept the giants off balance at the plate.

he gave up just one hit and struck out 6 in 6. solid innings. the a's add an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. they go on to win it two to nothing behind a big boost from the hometown crowd. a's fans showed up today. they showed up in big numbers bigger than the giants fans today. and that was special. it was something that you know, you can't replace and that we'll remember. obviously, you guys asked about what's the emotion of a series today? today was one of those days. so we got a great win in front of a home crowd, and you know, we got one more tomorrow against the giants to take care of. nfl preseason the raiders taking on the dallas cowboys. former niner trey lance with a nice one yard touchdown pass to give the boys the lead. the silver and black closing the gap in the third. aidan o'connell hits harrison bryant for the score. it's a one point game but trouble in the fourth.

nbc's vaughn hillyard reports. reporter the political winds of the 2024 presidential election swirling yet again, with new polling from four sun belt states indicating vice president kamala harris is making gains on former president donald trump. the new york times siena college poll showing the rivals within the margin of error in arizona, north carolina, nevada and georgia, states where the polls showed president biden trailing in the race before harris took over the top of the ticket. hello, nebraska. her running mate tim walz, campaigning in nebraska, where he grew up. it's one of only two states that splits its electoral college votes. the people in this state are decent people who who show kindness, who show generosity. in battleground pennsylvania, donald trump kicked off a multi-state swing designed to counter program the coming democratic national convention next week. are you better off with kamala and biden than you

were under president donald j. trump? i don't think so. for his part, president biden at camp david working on his speech set for the first night of the democratic convention, an official telling nbc news that he intends to highlight the achievements of the biden-harris administration's first term before articulating the need to help harris prevent trump from taking back the white house that was vaughn hillyard reporting. california delegates are making their way to the windy city. nearly 500 delegates from the state will be at the dnc, with thousands more from across the country. they'll get to attend a delegate reception, listen to speeches from barack obama, bill and hillary clinton and president biden. and of course, cast a vote for the formal nomination. one delegate from california says he's ready to nominate a candidate who people are excited about. i've seen so much energy and excitement from from young people, from, folks

all across this nation who are excited about kamala harris's candidacy for president. he grew up in alameda county and says he's honored to have been chosen as the son of afghanistan refugees. we'll have full coverage from the dnc all week long. our damian trujillo will bring us live updates from chicago. his coverage starts tonight right here on nbc bay area two people are dead in. two others are injured after a shooting in oakland. the shots were fired around nine yesterday morning on 83rd avenue near international boulevard. investigators say a group of people got into an argument. then someone pulled out a gun and opened fire. the suspect then took off in a car. two people died at the scene. the other victims were taken to the hospital and are both in serious condition. no arrests have been made. and happening tomorrow. three men are due in court for a plea hearing tied to the shooting death of a security

guard killed while protecting a tv news crew. kevin died two years ago in oakland during what investigators say was an attempted robbery. alameda county district attorney pamela price added enhanced charges for mitchell. herschel hill and lauren gilbert. if convicted on all charges, each man could face life in prison. in san francisco, people are taking a stand against election results in their home country, venezuela. yesterday, hundreds of people joined in on those efforts outside city hall in san francisco. they're calling on leader nicolas maduro to share the results of the presidential election and step down. the united states has rejected maduro's victory claim, and the opposition party says they have voting results that show edmundo gonzalez won 67% of the vote. hurricane ernesto hit bermuda, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. ernesto made landfall as a category one storm, packing 80

mile per hour winds that knocked down trees throughout the island and shut down the international airport. power is out for more than 70% of the island's 36,000 customers. as the storm heads north. beaches are closed along the u.s. east coast with waves up to seven feet high expected from florida to maine and changes across the country. this weekend to what it costs to buy and sell a house. now, if you're selling a house, you could end up with a lot more negotiating power. now, realtors are barred from offering compensation on multiple listing services. the idea is to make it harder for real estate agents from both the buyer and the seller to negotiate fees on their own, as they've done for decades. home sellers traditionally paid a commission in the range of about 5% to their agent, who split the fee with the buyer's agent. now, sellers can negotiate those fees down, making it more appealing for buyers to forgo agents

entirely. while homeowners may be celebrating, the changes are creating a lot of concern and anxiety among realtors. and it's back to school for one of the major bay area school districts. tomorrow is the first day for san francisco unified school district. the united educators of san francisco will welcome families and distribute breakfast to malcolm x academy students and families. this comes as the district is on track to close several schools. it says the decision came because of low student count, noting it is now serving 10,000 fewer students than in recent years. right now, san francisco serves nearly 50,000 students across over 120 schools. and make sure you stay right here on today in the bay all week long for our back to school coverage. if you missed any of it, you can catch it wherever you stream. nbc bay area is streaming 24/7 on roku, pluto, and other

59 degrees, but into the afternoon. beautiful weather. stunning. we can still rock those summer dresses out there for everybody going as we take a look at where we're going to stand today. still a few degrees below average in santa rosa. i've got you at 81. 86 in concord for today. right there for 68, in san francisco. livermore, also below average with some comfortable 80s out towards the east bay and 75 degrees in san jose. we are still dealing with a slightly cooler weekend. it is the big day down here though, in the south bay for nfl preseason levi's stadium, santa clara. start of the game looks pretty comfortable out there, but i would bring just an extra layer

if it gets too breezy for you. those gusts could be anywhere from about 2025 miles an hour and into the nighttime. we're going to bring it down into the 60s. if you do plan to end the night down here in the south bay as we go on in, take a look at our workweek. a couple things are going to happen that we're going to pay attention to. speaking of back to school and people returning to their pattern, we have to watch for a little bit of a heat building as we go on into monday and tuesday here, and our temperatures are going to look like this as we go on into tomorrow morning, dealing with those patchy clouds at times and with some 80s returning on the board to some 90s here, shifting on into tuesday up into parts of the north bay, santa rosa, solano county and through parts of the south county down here in morgan hill 70 for san francisco to some low 80s for the east bay shore. but that will be a short as it gets for our wednesday. we start to trend a little bit cooler back into the 80s for our middle of the week here, and we're going to watch a second pattern develop as we go on into the second half of the week.

lots happening here. so if the heat is for you, we've got that for the first half of the week. if you're feeling more of a fall vibe that will be ahead as we go on into the second half of the week here, we're looking at a low dropping in from the north. now, whether it will bring rain to the bay area is still in question here, but definitely some breezier winds. and that cloud cover that should last here as we go on into friday. so watch how it plays out in our 7-day forecast. we'll get into some mild temperatures for today, tomorrow and then warming up for tuesday and then dropping those temperatures once again. not too bad. it will still be comfortable, but san francisco and our coastlines further up into the north as well. we'll feel that shift after we get into a mild tuesday. we'll drop temperatures back down into the 60s and look at that cloud cover and how much of it produces some rain. all right. so a little folly coming up. a little bit of everything for everyone. all right. well, that's how we like right. well, that's how we like it. anks,th ♪♪ the best summer plans come from the back seat.

let's talk about it right here. just last week we had ice cube, co-founder of the big three tournament, had him on the show. he said, this is the best season yet. after seven seasons. and here we are at the championship game. and i know this is a big thing. gary and michael, i know you both are coaches of the team. i got to start with you, gary. i know you have the number one seed team and of course you're a son of the bay area. i want to start off with you, you know, what are we expecting to see from this game? well, i think what we're going to do is we're going to see a competition, a great competition. i think we got as michael can, agree with me, i think we got two, two great basketball teams with five great guys on the on both squads. and we have a multiple of players that can compete. and i think that it's going to be a battle. i know mike is upset with me about how we beat him earlier in the year, but it was one game. it was one of them games where it was competitive. you know what i'm saying? it was competitive. it went right down

to the wire, it was a call that was made and we were so happy. one on a free throw. but i think it's going to be like that on sunday. i think we're going to compete. i think it's going to be a close game. and whoever doesn't make the most, you know, mistakes and get all the loose balls and all that, i think is going to win the basketball game and everybody's got to be smart. and michael, i think, look, the thing about it, you got to tell them, look, that's the past. we're talking about the future right here. what can fans expect to see here with this game. because the thing about it is it is gaining so much momentum and it's just a big time right now for basketball. but sure. and i think, you know what, as a former player and all of us know, this is the one thing that we miss the most. you don't necessarily miss the running up and down, but you miss the camaraderie and the competitive spirit. and i think that's what we're able to get. being here in the big three. i know our team is going to play well, you know, gary's been the top team bivouac. he's taken a team that never made the playoffs in the playoffs, not only in the playoffs, but playing for a

championship. and that's the type of player that he is. and that's the one thing that i like about this situation that we're in now. finding three's company playing against bivouac is that old championship competitive spirit, and i know gary's going to have a lot to say to his team. i got a lot to say to ours, yeah, we lost that one game. sometimes you can learn from the losses, and that's what we're going to try to do this weekend. nobody can touch the big three. let's make that clear. so these teams. gary's team, bivouac cougs teams, three's company they're fighting for the world championship of three on three basketball, which is a big deal. and we're all excited to be here. we've been doing this seven years and it has been phenomenal. look, we're running out of time. but i just want to say thank you all for joining us. and also coop congratulations i'm talking to two hall of famers. but two months from now it'll be three. so congratulations to you on that. and thank you all for joining us here in the bay area. thank you very much. the 49ers return to levi's stadium tonight for their first and only preseason home game at home. it will be the niners first game at

the santa clara venue since winning the nfc championship game last season. the team will bring back jamie coffee and queen irvine, the nfl's first female in-stadium p.a. announcers, and yarissa nicole, who is a black saxophonist, will play sunday's national anthem, while the native american woman warriors will be behind her in the color guard. the team's theme again this year is football for all. it's a nod to the diversity of the bay area. we really want folks to come to the game and see themselves represented. if you can see it, you can be. it is what we hear all the time and that's what we really want to convey. it's an important tenant for the 49ers organization that we represent, the bay area and the diverse audience and fan base that we have for the faithful. an important message there. the first regular season game takes place on september 9th, which is a monday night at levi's against the jets and former new york

congressman, congressman george santos is expected to plead guilty monday to multiple counts in his federal fraud indictment. a hearing for the plea is set for 3 p.m. on monday. nbc reached out to santos's lawyer for comment, but have not heard back. the former republican congressman previously pleaded not guilty on a range of financial crimes, including collecting unemployment benefits while working and using campaign contributions to pay for personal items like designer clothing. these criminal charges are all coming after santos was expelled from the house of representatives in december of last year. tomorrow, the four day democratic national convention begins. the event will end thursday, when vice president kamala harris and minnesota governor tim walz will be officially installed as the party's presidential and vice presidential nominees. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us, where a month into this, harris candidacy.

now, what are you seeing, larry? what a rollout. first of all, what a rollout, a perfect rollout if the republicans say it's a perfect rollout. i mean, it's just been amazing, flawless thus far. so what happens out of this? well, a lot of enthusiasm. for one thing, they're looking at this. the delegates are 4000 plus. they say, wow, we've got a good thing going. and the result of that is they're very, very inspired. you wouldn't have thought of that a month ago. they were expecting a funeral. now they've got a celebration. and so this is going to be a convention for these folks that they never thought they'd see a lot of this, by the way, velena is all wrapped up in a recent poll that we saw first in june, then in august, the poll asked the question simply how inspired are you are about what you see in your candidates, and you see with the republicans, they were about the same 7171. nothing has changed from june to august. but you look at the democrats and they have surged. they've surged from the low 40s to 85%. enthusiasm is the key.

enthusiasm is the key to any party putting their candidates g re people vote. so right now democrats are feeling good, but we caution right now. right now. right. there's a long road until november. now, how might this differ from the republican national convention? because we know, obviously this is coming after that. yeah first of all, president biden, who expected of course, a month ago to speak in thursday, is speaking monday. it's the handoff he's passing the torch, if you will. he's got to be very delicate here in terms of making sure that he talks about what he's done, but also promoting his vice president to the top job. that's going to be tough. and that's what he's got to do. another difference here is that we look at the republican convention. you might have remembered that trump, the big word behind him and every other speaker. it was homage to trump. it was all about trump. i think the democrats are going to look about issues, looking forward, handling, handling the various issues, the economy, the border,

a woman's right to choose things like these. you're going to see them pounce on trump trying to show the differences. and i think that's something you really want to watch as this four day event evolves. sure. so we talked about it at the beginning. that excitement, you know, now that vice president kamala harris is at the top of the ticket, we have obviously seen a shift. do you think that she'll be able to sustain that though, larry? you know, she caught a break. she caught a big break by not having to go through primaries and so she didn't have to avoid any tough questions. now she's going to have to face some interviews. she can't put it off any longer. interviews with the press. press conferences where they're going to throw out all kinds of questions to her. and that becomes very, very important to see how she responds to them. will she have the kind of problems she had in 2020, or will she be much more poised this time and responsive? i think we also need to think about things such as september 10th. that's the big debate date. that's what everybody is looking. that's when you're really going to see the contrast. we know all about trump. we know who he is and who

he isn't. but still, harris is something of an enigma to a lot of people. so how will she manage in that debate. so you put that together and you're also going to expect a lot of republican attacks on her between now and november. why? because she's the front one now, and all the guns are going to be organized republican guns. it is against her. so lots to look at. we've got 79 days. and let me tell you, on the one hand, they're going to fly by. on the other hand, every day will be a challenge, right? every day counts. right? yep. all right. thanks so much, larry. coming up next, a quick look at the top stories, including breaking news in the east bay. we're tracking an overnight apartment fire that displaced several people. the scary moments for resid
