Well Asian Americans make up 33. 7 of San Franciscos population despite representing onethird of the city. The group was never considered an important part of the political landscape. But that changed in 2022. Ryan yamamoto would look at the two issues that sparked the awalkenning and how politicians have taken notice. Reporter when lily ho walks through San Franciscos chinatown, she sees power in numbers. The Aapi Community is 33 of the population in San Francisco. If it is not important, it would be a big problem. Reporter and when hate became a part of the problem for the Aapi Community, it was lily and other Community Members who became a part of the solution. Especially during the rise of attacks on elderly asian seniors. It was anger, frustration, hopelessness, shock. How can this even happen . Reporter at the time the Community Felt their concerns were being ignored by then District Attorney. Nobody is representing the victims. Reporter they believe was not doing enough to protect them. It was outrageous that we were seeing it, and then allowing it to happen. Reporter in 2022, the power of the asian vote led the charge to recall the former d. A. And that was just the beginning because during the same year that same voting block of Asian Americans frustrated with the direction of San Franciscos education system. Actually insulted the entire chinese community. Reporter sent a clear message by recalling three members of the school board. Education and Public Safety were two things that the Aapi Community rallied behind. What happened was we succeeded in winning historical recalls against four elected officials. Reporter han lee covers both the Aapi Community and now politics for the sf standard. He says the school board and District Attorney recalls changed the political landscape. Forcing city hall to take notice. This community has become increasingly outspoken and also influential politically. Reporter candidates for mayor london breed to those looking to win her seat at city hall, you can easily spot them at Asian American functions, courting the Asian American vote. And behind the scenes, their Campaign Teams have become more diverse. It is very intentional that they will look for chinese staffers who are familiar with the community to do the community outrage. Reporter the other candidates are taking it even one step further. For example those running for district three supervisor, which includes chinatown, right . Hes learning cantonese for years. Now in some of the Campaign Events and the political debate. Hes showing off the cantonese speaking skills. Reporter as for lily, hoping to organize the aapi vote might be an awakening of her own. This past march, she recently won the elected position on the democratic central committee. There is still a lot of voters that arent engaged, that arent voting, that arent registered to vote. Reporter inspired to step into the political arena with more work to do to highlight the power of the Asian American vote. And the community recognizes that elections are extremely important to things they cared about. Reporter to amplify what they stand for. That power lies within the chinese community. It represents 180,000 of the nearly 300,000aapi residents. And that power was on display earlier this year. Down in the peninsula, asian communities will play a big role in the hotly contested race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo. The district includes parts of san mateo and santa clara counties, which are 33 and 41 Asian American respectfully. With the first president ial debate just a month away, President Biden made a stop in the swing state of georgia, where he delivered the commencement address at atlantas morehouse college. Over the war on gaza as protesters gathered outside, some graduates and faculty turned their backs to the president during his speech. I called for an immediate ceasefire to stop the fighting. Words are words. Actions are something different. The president s next stop was in michigan. Another swing state in the upcoming election. Same time donald trump accepted the endorsement of the National Rifle association. He delivered a speech at their annual meeting yesterday in dallas. It was trumps ninth address on the nra stage.

He plans to hold his free skills camp every year. It was a Beautiful Day especially later in the morning. Yes. I hear we have beautiful weather coming up this week . For the next two days. More of today, only a little warmer. Okay. It was kind of like they came through last night and just pushed that marine layer away and its gone for a while. Its coming back for the middle of the week. Well start out by taking a look at today for reference. It is always good to have a good starting point for reference to show you what a warming trend is going to look like over the next few days because that was today. Monday and tuesday are both going to be warmer than this. By the time we get to tuesday, the warmest day this week, it will be more like the low to mid80s. First off what happened in the marine layer . It was out there in limited places and that is going back to 9 00 a. M. And just so you could see a patch of it right off the coast and that is what they saw when they ended up in may gray with that small patch. And if we watched the loop, it melted away. Here is the view as we showed you this on the top of the newscast. Normally if may, you would expect the entire coastline to be covered in stratus clouds, the marine layer. So what happened . And how do we do this . And with a will change by wednesday to bring it back. If you look at the satellite, you would miss the whole story and now you see things that you never knew were there. Weve got this area right there and that is the important thing and that is clearing the marine layer out. That cold front is coming through. But all its doing is breaking up the marine layer and pushing it away. When we go back, you can see it. The clouds getting pushed down the coast and away and you never knew what was doing that if you didnt look at it definitely and see the marine layer. So watch what happens on wednesday as we lose the influence of that and watch what happens as we creep back in. Wednesday morning, it is not overwhelming, but its back. We will wake up on wednesday with the low clouds filtering in. Wednesday by coincidence, its also the day when the temperatures are going to turn around and start coming down. Tuesday and wednesday are pretty close actually. They are both kind of warm. But wednesday technically we will begin the turnaround. Here is tomorrow. Youll pick out tomorrows daytime highs. Warmer today with the low 80s showing up here. Now watch what happens as we advance that on tuesday. And for many of the inland valleys. Here is San Francisco and oakland. Oakland, youll top out on tuesday at 75. Youll go down to 60 by saturday. North bay valleys, youll top out at 84 on tuesday with the turnaround on wednesday. By next weekend, north bay valleys, and south bay, including san jose, they are not getting out of the 60s. Right back to gray and cool for next weekend. So just enjoy the middle stretch of this week if you do enjoy those sunny skies and the temperatures are well above average. Back to you. Thanks, darren. We knew there would be excitement entering the final round with scores so close, so many big names at the top. Many vying for another major championship. One man in particular was looking for his first. It was a stack leaderboard heading into this one. Xander shopley led all day on this put to give them an outright lead. He responded with a birdie on 11. Then here is the approach on 12. And sticks it right next to the pen. It set up the short birdie putt that put him back as the solo leader at 20 under. It all came down to the par 5 18th. He had the birdie pot to tie them under. He misses wide. Such a disappointing third place finish for him. Bryce dechambeau shined last month. Knocked down this gusty putt and took a share of the lead. Dechambeau went 7 under during the day. And then he needed a par 18 to force a playoff. Thats what bryson needed, but he proved himself under pressure. Beautiful shortstop to make it a great putt. With all eyes on him, he would have this left for the tournament, draining it. Hes your champion at 21 under. The first major championship for xander and his first win on tour since 2022. I think that i would be less of a person for that putt than what was let in, but i didnt want to go into the playoffs against bryson. Im assuming we would have played 18. It would have been a lot of work. This is my opportunity and just capture it. Reporter it hasnt been an easy week for the giants who basically promoted the majority of their Minor League Roster to put a ban date over the many injuries. Despite that, they are actually playing pretty good ball. A view from the flyover at oracle park as we pick things up in the top of the first inning. Ryan mcmahon goes opposite field here off the very good so far. Jordan hicks for the first run of the game. It was the only run allowed by hicks. He went five innings. Pretty good ball. 21 San Francisco in the fifth. Luis matos with two outs, allowing estrada to score. 31. Now the bottom of the sixth, ramos with a blast off shot. And the giants win 41. They sweep the series, now winning the season high, four straight. The as wrapping up their weekend and a road trip in kansas city. Royals jumped on dem quickly in the first inning. With the rbi double. Kansas city would go on to win 84 to sweep the series. The as went 19 on the trip. They now lost 10 out of 11. They are back home next tuesday. The nba playoffs. Stars were out for game seven at Madison Square garden. Late first quarter. Tie reese haliburton knocks down the three to give them a 13point lead. Shooting 76 in the first half. New york cut the deficit to 10. Smith hits the jumper for the pacers. Then t. J. Mcconnell steals the inbound pass. That pushes the lead back to 15. Spike lee not happy. When is he ever at a knicks game . Indiana wins on the road. They advance their first eastern conference final since 2014, and they are going to face the Boston Celtics beginning tuesday. On thursday in san jose, it was the Fourth Annual clark legacy series to raise money for the Golden Heart Fund that helps former players. Two of the speakers in garcia who had high praise from the current qb. Very mature and very cool, calm, collected. Some of that joe montana feel to him in the sense of how joe was so cool out on the field. The young man plays the game with somewhat of an effortless feel for what he does out there. Hes got a composure that is well beyond his 24, 25 years of age that he is. All those things that he does out there are very special. We hope we have him for a long time. I talked to brock purdys dad after the nfc championship game. He actually told me jeff garcia was the guy who calmed him down during the game, so it has come full circle. Jeff garcias got that haircut. Yeah, it looks good. And thanks, matt. Coming up, sfo honoring the late supervisor harvey milk. Well tell you how when we come back.
