No other details available right now its still under investigation, but at least no injuries were reported so were still gathering more information on this alleged plot and well definitely keep you posted on air and online. Back to you all right, thanks a lot rob and and we had some disruptions happen overnight where a group of protesters vandalized the home of a trump supporter. In brentwood, you can see on video. Attacking some of his property there is current flag, setting fire to this one item as you can so this all comes after the homeowner there who is. Known in the community as being an ardent trump supporter hung an effigy of joe biden from his home looked like he was hanging from a noose and that community which is already wrong with tension that sparked what you saw so it seems that they thought he crossed the line you think that they cross the line lets go to kron fours will tran. With more on what happened with this confrontation. Well. It seems like his neighbors think he crossed the line as well theyre up and Walking Around right now, but nobody wants to go on camera because they are fearful the it could be coming home sooner than later he was not arrested he did not technically commit a crime because according to the Contra Costa County District Attorneys Office that he does have the First Amendment right to do what he did all the disgusting as it was you can see what happened to his home though in the overnight hours i should say late last night with demonstrators showed up look at that the aid is house they jumped on his suv they shattered his windshield. This started on thursday, let me show you the effigy this quickly spread throughout brentwood across the bay area it went viral. You can see it hanging outside of his house a lot of people thought it was racially insensitive perhaps a crime despite him saying sleepy joe cheater because any time you see a noose and obviously hanging African American history goes into effect but according to the authorities that he did have the First Amendment right to do that so he was not arrested. However does not mean that he got away with it because demonstrators they showed up late last night by the dozens they were screaming at his house they were doing damage to it, lets face it theres a lot of damage to his house. The Police Officers had to show up to maintain control the set up barriers in the overnight hours they did leave your genes in the area. Until about 8 oclock this morning when they were pretty confident that it would remain peaceful. We did get a chance to talk to demonstrators and people who live around here. They say hes no stranger to them. Pretty much he had like trump flags up its time. And michael trump lights approve while couple years honestly and he does around the Confederate Flags and not a fight but then he hung and you can sign and say im sleepy joe. Trying to seize cheater like yeah i won his freedom of speech to go that far just like hate speech about okay so let obviously now with the sun up, you can see those lights on the side of the house it reads trump you can see his flag a few years ago he actually hung a Confederate Flag outside as well as far as whats going to happen to him. Well hes not over yet even though he was not arrested he could face federal problems because were talking about a president ial candidate, so the Brentwood Police department they notify the secret service who reportedly will be looking into this same story. Okay, thank you very much well weve got all of the information about this and any other election story that comes your way on kron 4 dot com, especially go there throughout the day as these new numbers are coming in all morning long all right now lets talk about something you definitely need to know about as we head into later parts of today and into this weekend which is. Rain have you heard i have this afternoon the covid still its okay, yeah, it still looks great this morning. If you havent heard the rain thats ok weve got a few distractions lately but you got to get prepared for it as this point at this point as we see that cooler air sweeping in across the bay. So the first thing youre noticing this morning thats a little bit different is those strong northwesterly winds pushing into the bay pushing in cool air across the region. Were might be starting off pretty mild. But thats the way were going to stay temperatures this afternoon dont take that upward trend like we have been seeing that had been taking us into the 70s and 80s. The looking nice out there this morning at timber on few clouds overhead overall dry just breezy this morning looking outside at stormtracker 4 here so we do have a few clouds pushing overhead in satellite and radar mostly seeing those above marine sonoma and napa counties also seeing a couple of offshore sprinkles at this point zooming out across the region. This is what we have across the north northern part of the state a little closer to the oregon border, which is rainfall right along the north coast and some snowfall north of mount shasta now starting to see that snow also in the Sierra Nevada just a few clouds pushing in across the bay, im not expecting really are rainfall to kick into gear until after 04 00pm today. So yeah, you have an opportunity this morning to get outside to maybe do some errands before we do see some cloudier conditions, some Cool Conditions this afternoon and yes eventually that rainfall into the Late Afternoon today winds very present across the region coming a little bit for some spots compared to where we were overnight, but definitely still a very breezy situation right now well continue to stay breezy into the afternoon as that cooler air continues to plunge into the bay area. Right now temperatures are in the 50s and 60s weve been that way all morning long and were going to stay that way all day long daytime highs today nowhere close to the 80s. Not even reaching the 70s just take a look at the planner here from these 50s 60s this morning to 60s this afternoon very minimal changes going on to be expected later today and as i mentioned saving those showers until after 04 00pm im talking about what else to expect for the entirety of the weekend and if we do have a warmup expected at all in this forecast still to come over to you robert all right, thank you john were tracking a hot spot. In fremont on city streets, but its also impacting traffic thats coming off the freeway so theres a truck that flipped over to one of those large cement mixer trucks it flipped over under 6 80s. So this is on mission at via send demas thats the intersection that the activity is close the cement mixer on its side it caught fire at one point was leaking some sort of fluid so emergency crews are on scene theyre saying is going to be blocked off for several hours possibly until one 30 this afternoon so Southbound Mission is closed Northbound Mission is open if you come from south 6 ad the freeway. You got to be diverted over to Northbound Mission thats going to be your alternate going to force you over ill step out of the way you can see the photo check this out this photos from the fremont Police Department you can see that cement mixer on its side you see chp fire crews all on scene. Large trucks like this are not easy to just upright and clear takes a lot of work a lot of patients, its a long process so once again mission right under 6 ad is going to block on the southbound side for at least a 4 hours are getting turned northbound but not southbound so theyre asking you to just stay away from this area until they can get this all cleaned up well be right back with more news weather and traffic updates. Stay with us. 13 at the time right now and we have seen joe bidens emerged this morning and really hes now on the verge of taking the white house several key battleground states still too close to call, but we have seen some major tectonic shifts in the balance of influence for these states we had. Georgia and we had pennsylvania overnight and early this morning flip now to be Joe Biden States or at least leaning that way with a very thin margin that theyre going that direction, lets talk about what were seeing develop this morning with our political analyst michael yaki good morning michael. Good morning. This is this is a good night for insomniacs yeah, no kidding as were watching hour by hour. The numbers are changing and then we saw things start to flip. And we also last night saw the president come out to the press room there at the white house and speak for the First Time Since go off rails late Election Night just got through it all out there just kind of threw everything out and. The problem with this is everything needs to stick for it to matter i mean with by u. S. To win one state with trump everything hes alleging has to come together. I mean i mean. Wolf we also saw when every single state which is not going to be doing i mean. Pennsylvania is looking. Well i think its and i think its i think its locked and i think the networks are just waiting until they get to about 15 or 20,000 vote leave in order to sort of push it to it put its decision desk make the call. Nevadas looking good i think arizona is not training anymore in his favor. George is a big surprise but thats going to go to a recount but you know the allegations that the president are making. Or just not going to hold water. This is not a bush league or situation. This is a situation where he is trying to allege it essentially a nationwide conspiracy and of voter fraud that simply does not exist in our constitutional democracy and in the way that our elections are conducted which is at the local level governed by the states and and and locally elected. Not some massive coordinated attempt by the democrats on faa. The martians whatever it is you want to think whatever it is hes accusing right now being out there trying to steal this election. Well in any was almost alleging that the that the ballots were messed up only when it came to the bubble for president because he said the republicans where they did well that was fine and then that was legitimate right. Right now and of course you know we all know the democrats have an area 51 some new technology that theyve been using to simply zap away that one that one oval on everyones ballot. I mean this is just crazy. I mean the the everyone knew and certainly his advisers knew that the absentee count was going to take a while because one it was unprecedented because of covid and 2 because a lot of these states did not change their laws to allow absentee ballots to be counted early. Florida was a great example why did he say florida was great florida. He kept inciting was was it was great florida allows counting 20 days before the election. Absentee ballots by law, minnesota wisconsin. In pennsylvania could not count until election day. And so thats why were seeing this sort of blue shift as more and more of those votes are coming in you can see it shifting more towards by this way again anybody who was walking up to the election knew that that was going to happen or at least that was the trend that was going to be likely the only one who seems to be mystified by this is the president. Yes and therefore the only reason that could happen is is is fraught i mean im more worried about the next quite frankly, james and darya because now were entering i think a really interesting and very dangerous phase because he is a worded animal at this point hes going to strike out whatever he can and there have to be people who come in and do an intervention on on him. Its like they did with president nixon in 1974 when during the impeachment proceedings, liked al gore did when he decided even though he could have challenged captain challenging what was going on in florida decided. I look for the good of the country ive not going to prolong prolong the uncertainty in the end and the indecision. Whether or not donald trump will rise to that occasion i think is a very it is really up in the air. But it has to be done because our democracy. Our constitution is bigger than any one person, even the president of the United States. Well hes vowed to take weve heard it and save himself all the way to the Supreme Court where he is i assume hoping that the court will find obviously in his favor. Can get to the supreme like locally with a van. Theyre already knocking it down in a couple of can get there and it and thats the point dari is that what is that this that hes talking about is can take the Supreme Court say. I dont like the results and i think there was fraud and you should throw it out that there must be a case or controversy. And so far all the cases and controversies has been alleging have been knocked out as you said are at the lower courts because theyre not alleging any facts you can take one instance of. So when his name may have been the same as someone elses name theyre claiming while they voted for me and say theyre for it applies to all 5 million voters in pennsylvania. We need a whole new it doesnt work in the tower. Theres no mechanism theres no claim its essentially theyre taking the all they have throwing the kitchen sink. Everything in the sock drawer pasta everything against the wall and seeing what sticks but nothing is going to stick. You know if we found out i think it was this morning was late last night that the Vice President biden had asked for extra security from the secret service. We know about this plot that was foiled in philadelphia with you know people mentioned tempting disrupt operations there at the polk county. Center in philadelphia. Do you feel like. I just i wonder if we need to like lower the temperature just a bit i dont know that the president wants to do that. Its just interesting see the juxtaposition of the 2 men addressing the nation one calling for calm the other calling for you know some sort of revolt against a corrupt system. I mean whether you like joe biden or not. He is someone who is who is putting country about anything else. And what we had with donald trump is someone who puts himself about country and whats unfortunate is that hes appealing to people who dont believe in our democracy. A lot of these right wing militias a lot these right wing groups were there the boogaloo boys. The proud boys oath keepers, we are centrally anti governor. Theyre essentially anti anti United States they want to basically live in some crazy world where where they and their guns just decide what what the law is this is not what our countrys about. But hes appealing to them and thats the concern that i see inland and now ive written about and spoken about over the past over the past month is that by doing that you can and we know i think we really need case. Set into motion things that can cause violence. Destabilization and the and the dea legitimization of our constitutional democracy. Thats what talking about the intervention i really believe mitch mcconnell. George bush james baker, a lot of those folks need to go and talk to this guy and safe. You got to take the temperature down if you have if you have a lawsuit let the lawsuit go through dont start dont allege widespread fraud because it. Like an old picture popped up though we appreciated your michael nearest upper second tour. Its quiet right not disturb think that the republicans have not come out and said you know cool it by the same token though they havent come come out
