As our coverage continues. Also on the future of the California Senate seat. Were going to talk live with the political expert. What we can expect come november. Theres a lot to talk about. Also the we continue our coverage of the super tuesday results right now as residents are bracing for the upcoming november election where representative adam schiff and steve garvey will go headtohead for the late senator Dianne Feinsteins seat and kron 4 political analysts in sonoma state Political Science professor david mcewan joining us now via zoom. We like when youre here in person yesterday, but well take soon. Thats fine. Thats fine. All right. Lets start with this schiff, first garvey. And here is how my friends and i were talking about it. So now. Ship doesnt have to run against any democrats. He can. It a landslide victory just like the da had when he was running for the open senate seat. Is this exactly what the shift campaign wanted the entire time to have to run against garvey and not of katie porter or barbara lee. Sure, theres certainly enough money buoy a plus, steve garvey. So they got exactly what they wanted. Theres a couple of wrinkles to this. You saw last night that there were disgruntled protesters at adam schiff shiny moment. That is speech. Thats because theres a portion of progressives that are upset about gaza and whats happening there. Thats an important element. You dont want those voters on the sidelines in such an important election as were likely to see in november nationwide in terms of the most important election since 18, 60, in addition to that, steve garvey is going to have to show that he can fundraise. Thats an important element. We know adam schiff can fundraise. Hell do that as a long a long running touchdown, democrat, td democrat. Youre going to have a republicans potentially come out to vote, not just that the tap into the ticket in terms of donald trump but for a recall against Governor Newsom. All of that let lends itself to you probably get a poll week out 2 weeks out from november election. Its us all. Look, steve garvey is closing. Hes within 5, 6, 8, point. Something like he still unlikely to be successful because one out of 2 registered voters in california just about as as a democrat. Plus, you have independent voters. So this is the matchup they wanted. And it is clearly one that advantages adam schiff and down down ballot as well. But steve garvey is going to give it a good go. Should be an interesting watch, especially if you can raise any money. We have a lot of time between now and november. Lets talk about prop one. This is a measure that is going to be about 6 billion dollars in tax money to help build Mental Health treatment facilities. They say it supposed to help the homeless. Its sort of denies them anyway. Its split down the middle. This proposition. It has about 50 support. Yes, 50 are still against it. Are you surprised . Its so close . And wendy, think which direction you think its going to go . Looks like its going eke out. Its going to just barely passed anything less than 52 . Yes. Vote with no opposition. Thats basically even though its passage. Its basically a loss. So thats hugely important as a little bit of a push back against Governor Newsom because obviously he owns this issue. We cs scared of cash. I care not cash in San Franciscos mayor, but look at this way. Those garvey voters came out at the behest of all that spending by adam schiff and impacts associated with them to vote for donald trump to vote for steve garvey. And at the same time vote against those bond measure. Bowie it up. That is an important element and we know the ballot measures to stern stir up turnout typically around 3 to 5 of more voters in a primary and a low voter primary like this, its probably only 2 or 3 , but in a general election like november, voter turnout has pushed by ballot measures, is going to pump up 5 to 8 points that overall probably helps democrats again, hoping probably adam schiff in the fall. All right. Now onto the rematch, donald trump versus joe biden and nikki haley has now about out. She did not endorse donald trump. She said that her voters need to be sort of wood. And President Biden said, you know why you guys can come over here. If youre interested in that. Where do you think and nikki haley voters going to go come november . Well, i think voter of in november is going to be part of that contingent of about 25 to 30 of republicans who wont vote for donald trump under just about any circumstances that this is a group that has showed some resistance. It does vary a bit by state and both location in terms of where theyre living like an emergence of herbs or i attached to urban areas. In addition, you have to Pay Attention that theres a group of biden voters that are thrilled about him but will also not vote donald trump. So theres this group thats in the middle. Thats a little bit squishy for each side and will be a turnout factor. It also places a lot of emphasis for tomorrow nights state of the union. Yes. Talk to me about the state of the union. What are you looking for . During beach tomorrow. Yeah, i mean, does joe biden to what degree as he lay out the argument for reelection, how combative hes the about republicans, hes not able to control the environment as because of whats going on. And weve had a loss of decorum around state of the Union Speeches because we have any for foibles or flubs. I mean, joe biden is famous for those. And to what degree does talk about things that are somewhat difficult like the gaza situation, particularly Younger Voters who dont appear to have showed up in any substantial numbers during the primary, but are hugely important november election, a voter demographic of about 18 to 35. Yeah, theyre going to be really watching him to see, you know how he handles just like the actual presentation, just as much as what hes going to be the substance of what hes going to talking about. So will airing that tomorrow and we can talk about it on friday. Thank you very thanks, david. Another disturbing incident unfolding at a Walnut Creek City Council Meeting Council members and Community Members here in 2 minutes of an antisemitic speech during Public Comments last night. So this man here who did not identify himself, took to the podium at the start of Public Comments and he just spewed off hateful comments. They were aimed at members of the jewish community, including at a Jewish Council member kevin welk. And this is following a similar incident just 2 weeks ago and that time this man here who identified himself as scotty also just say really means to for wearing a shirt that had the words white power on it. He slams city leaders for ending the virtual Public Comments and they did so because antisemitic comments were coming in virtually. So heres what the city council in walnut creek has put out. As far as a statement. They called it horrific, adding that the person who spoke us not a member of the community and the Statement Reads in part here, walnut creek is an inclusive community, that values and promotes the diversity of our residents, including the ability to observe their chosen realizan religion. They go on to say while we will always respect the publics right to free speech, we will also condemn hate speed speech. Excuse me, condemn hate speech. Every opportunity and did so last night. From there we go to whats going on in the middle east, as egypt says, there has been no breakthrough in the israelhamas negotiations. Hamas today saying it will, quote, continue negotiations. But the 2 sides remain very far apart with hamas officials reiterating that they will not exchange any prisoners until there is a ceasefire. The u. S. Qatar and egypt have been working for weeks to reach an agreement where hamas would release up to 40 hostages in exchange for a sixweek ceasefire. The release of some palestinians being held in israeli jails and more humanitarian aid. Hamas right now. The clock is ticking to get a deal on the books before sunday. Thats the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan. Much of gaza is in ruins and the humanitarian situation is out of control. President biden says more aid is needed into the palestinian enclave, groups say theyre having difficulty delivering supplies because of the ongoing fighting and challenges that have come with coordinating in recent days. The u. S. Has airdropped aid into gaza and the pentagon says it is currently considering delivering aid via a maritime corridor. Back now to the bay and taking a live look outside here across the bay bridge. Its calm out there wind wise, but where this rain thats coming down in parts of the east bay right now is pretty significant. Kyla. Yeah, peninsula east bay, south bay and it is dangerous and it is coming down very quickly. So the cloudy skies you see in San Francisco are a little bit of a deceiving view, right . Because whats going on as we do that or you see all the yellow boxes, those are flood advisories and some of them just expanding and going up as we speak. So want to take you down to just south of san jose. And you can see here heading from san jose to morgan hill where they are now under flood advisory. You see how that read pops up there so quickly. I just query this and you can see this is a precipitation rate that is estimated at 2. 7, 4 inches per hour. Thats how heavy that rain is coming down. This is incredibly dangerous as we go up into the peninsula. Douse eddyville palo alto woodside. You are also in this, too. And this does just go until about 5. 30, after that. We should start to see big improvements once this starts to pass by. But right now it is getting dangerous in san mateo along 2. 80. You just dont want to be on these roads. I know i sound like a broken record, but i got to say it again. If youre about to head out the door, take a dont do it. Wait until this passes us by. You dont want to be stuck in a situation. Weve got pouring rain. You cant see in front of your car. So here we are in the east bay now, san ramon, dublin hayward, along 5. 80, along 6. 80. Youre also into these flood advisories until about 4. 30, in some spots and 5. 15, and other. So again, this is going to pass quickly. But at the moment, you want to make sure youre being careful because this is happening right now. This is going to pass a spy by about 5. 30. But right now weve got rain rates along some of these highways over half an inch an hour. And thats not where you want to be. Why is this happening . Got this low pressure system thats taking its time. Its tracking to the south of us and then moving in. But you can see its throwing all of this energy to central and Southern California. Lots of heavy rain for them. So my advice stay put for a little bit. Lets get through this. Then we get our sunny skies back tomorrow. Back to you.
