KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am April 27, 2017

2. Im gasia mikaelian. And im dave clark. Things are changing here, things in the way of low clouds and higher clouds are clearing out rapidly. There will be a northerly breeze kicking in. That will take hold later this afternoon, tonight, into tomorrow, but the pattern is changing, a dryer one and a warmer one. Clear and breezy. Warmer with upper 70s to 80s it looks like as we go into the weekend for inland areas. Looks like a nice day for day baseball. Dodgers giants, 64. Mostly sunny, there will be a northerly breeze. 64 is right where San Francisco should be this time of year. Theyre close on the low and the high. 86, 1921. The record, 42 back in 1984 is the record low. We are close to average here, and temperatures by saturday, concord, san jose, santa rosa look like low 80s for some temps. Today, we are transitioning out of one pattern into another one. The breeze will be more of a factor later on. At least theres more sunshine. Cool for some. He or she 40s and 50s on your temps. If it feels cool, it is. Because we have cleared out the cloud cover, and we need time to warm up the air mass. It will start today with 60s and 70s. San francisco south. Thats right. Steve, northbound 101 on the connector ramp to east 80 basically right before the 87 87th street off ramp. Theres an overturned car and this happened as a result of a hitandrun. It does look like they have the vehicle thats upright now. It was hard to tell what it was, but it turned out to be an suv here. Northbound 101 at the 0 80 split. One lane is getting through. Its like a bad afternoon commute. I wouldnt recommend 101 at all. If you are familiar with the side roads, and even if youre not, i would just get off the freeway and drive some of the main side roads and bring your patience because its going to be one of those commutes. I want to show you that 101 is slow, and 280 is also getting slow down to king street. People have heard about the crash, using 280. 280 is still better if you want to stay on the freeway. 101 northbound a report of a crash after the San Francisco airport. Its right about here, reported blocking of lanes, and watch for that. Lets go to the east bay. We have slow traffic in hayward on 880 southbound because of earlier issues. Both directions in hayward slow. And highway 4 is slow to antioch because of an earlier crash on highway 4 near port chicago highway. We have a pretty slow commute in contra costa on highway 24 as well, and at the bay bridge, we have a back up that extended for a 20 minute delay before you make it on the span. At 7 03, lets go back to the desk. Though ann coulter canceled her scheduled speech, the city of berkeley are preparing for protests today and tonight. Allie rasmus youre at berkeleys Civic Center Park. Several rallies are scheduled today. Good morning. Yes, good morning, the first of several of the days events scheduled to happen at 10 00 at Civic Center Park in berkeley. Its an event sponsored by the Orange County alt right group. First, we have already seen Berkeley Police on patrol at the park. We saw officers removing signs, apparently in support of milo yiannopoulos, whose speech was canceled because of earlier protests. The sergeant removing the signs said police were taking them down because they had graphic, pornographic images and nudity. The park has been the site of clashes between pro and anti trump groups. The most recently was a week and a half ago and the violence was part of the reason Security Officials recommended canceling the speech on campus in the first place. It was canceled but conservative groups are coming to berkeley to express their frustration. The city and university have hampered their free speech rights. Protesters who oppose colter plan on showing up at some of the rallies, raising the possibility yet again of heated physical clashes. Im aware that i will be in danger. The people that are going to show up are in danger, but the bigger danger is to allow the radical left wing to erode our civil liberties. This was a great victory to have kept coulter out of here. We are a sanctuary campus, and we mean to keep that way. Reporter now, heres what is planned for today in berkeley. At 10 00 a. M. , the Orange County alt right protest group has the rally at Civic Center Park. At noon on ban bankroft, the International Socialist is having an alt right, to show the support for free speech and opposition to coulter. Conservative commentator, Gavin Mcginnis will be reading aloud one of her speeches. Berkeley police and uc Berkeley Police are on stand by on high alert, and we saw some of the officers here this morning said that they had been called into their shifts it hours early, ahead of their regular shifts because of the activity planned today. Thank you. Yeah. After coulter announced the cancellation of the speech, she made the appearance on fox news and talked about students that invited her and were sponsoring her speech. They ran away. They gave in. And there was nothing i could do. Now we have yap saying were go to strike a blow for the next speaker at berkeley. No, i want to win now. Can republicans ever win now. She mentioned the Young American foundation, it was cosponsoring the speech with two other groups. The Berkeley College republican blame uc officials for the cancellation after they were told coulters safety couldnt be secured. Now, we have allie on campus. Christien kafton is at the cal campus itself. Well bring him in as he explains more on the next steps being taken by the organizing groups. Our coverage continues through the day, live on and around campus. You have to leave us here on television. Get updates on ktvu. Com and with the planned protests, increased Police Presence and the chance of damage base owned what we have seen before, our question of the day is this, when controversial people are invited to speak, who should pay for security and damage. The speaker, the group hosting the person, the venue where the event is being held or the city where the event is being held. Let us know what you think. You can vote on the ktvu twitter page or ktvu. Com leave comments on our ktvu facebook page. The b. A. R. T. Police have identified several suspects in that takeover style robbery at the coliseum b. A. R. T. Station. B. A. R. T. Says 50 teenagers hopped over the gates, swarmed a b. A. R. T.

The Alameda Unified School district says Lum Elementary School may not be safe in an earthquake. Tomorrow that school board is holding a special meeting to talk about the possibility of closing the school and to figure out where the students would go if the campus was closed. The district says the risk was discovered recently while they were preparing to build a new classroom on campus. The district says the building is sound but the soil around the school is at high risk of liquefaction which could cause the buildings to sink and collapse. Your time is 7 09. The mercury news reporting there was another tactic that wells fargo employees were told to use to get new Bank Accounts open. The paper says wells fargo employees were told to quote round up undocumented immigrants and bring them into a bank branch to open checking accounts. That included day laborers looking for work, and people waiting at Social Security offices. That report goes on to say the bank promised not to charge new account owners with Check Cashing fees. Wells fargo says those claims are quote offensive and run counter to what the bank expects of its employees. Republicans in congress may start as early as today to get a new Health Care Reform bill passed. The president suffered a serious public image defeat when the first attempt to repeal the Affordable Care act had to be withdrawn from consideration at the last minute. The new version allows states more flexibility, including opting out of coverage requirements that are now in place. Republicans say they would like to get this done quickly and it could be the president s signature victory if it passed before saturday, the day that happened mark the president s 100th day in office. We think we made a bill much better. Its not full repeal. Ill be honest. Its not. Its as good as we think it can be right now. Lets get to the senate and do what we told the voters are going to do. Democrats and moderate conservatives are still expected to oppose the new plan. Our time is 7 0. President trump says hes considering breaking up the 9 9th Circuit Court of appeals which is based in San Francisco. The president told a washington, d. C.

It is also the legal home of judge william orek, the judge that issued an order that forbids temporarily the federal government from withholding money from sanctuary cities. A woman attacked near the San Jose State University campus. Its a story we reported yesterday here on mornings on 2.

Up next, how the Furniture Company is now poking fun at a very expensive ripoff of its popular blue bag. Good morning, we still have a lot of slow traffic on northbound 101 approaching the 80 split. Looks like they have made progress in getting the accident out of the way. Well give you the backups for San Francisco when we come back.

Today were getting a better indication of how the president s tax code would affect businesses and individuals. Pam cook back in the studio with todays money business. Wall street has been waiting for this, highly anticipated that it will be a positive thing for a lot of companies. The bay area cisco system got a double upgrade from one bank that is betting that the tax cuts will make it easier for cisco to buy back stock and maybe make acquisitions.

Also this morning we are getting a better look at President Trumps proposed changes to that tax code. The plan unveiled yesterday would change the number of personal income tax brackets from 7 to 3 with the rate set at 10, 25 and 35 . The Corporate Tax rate would be slashed from 35 to 15 . Critics say it would increase the deficit while providing the biggest windfall to the wealthy. The president s plan is to give a massive tax break to the very wealthy in this country, a plan that will mostly benefit people and businesses like President Trumps that wont pass muster with we democrat. We will be attacked from the left, and we will be attacked from the right but one thing is certain, i would never ever bet against this president. He will get this done for the american people. Now, the white house says tax plan will stimulate so much Economic Growth that it will pay for itself. But some economists still skeptical.

We have been talking about this, ikea having fun with this bag that looks similar to its shopping bags. The leather belenciaga. I had to check with leslie in our weather department. Total bag. It costs more than 2000. Nothing that gasia and i are looking for it. It looks like ikeas blue bag thats 99 0. S. 0. 99. A spokesperson for ikea says they are deeply flattered by the comparison. Companies reporting earnings after the closing bell, keeping an eye on amazon, microsoft, and starbucks. I thought kate spade and Michael Cores were expensive. If i buy a bag thats over 100, treat it carefully. Dont put it on the floorment i could buy 2000 of those ikea bags. When Heather Holmes gets in the office, well ask her. I have a feeling shell know. They are a little bit more fashion forward. They are in the know as they say. Thank you, pam. Time is 7 14. Lets get you where you need to go. Sal, thank you for fixing things on highway 101.

That crash had been there on that connector ramp for about 40 minutes right here. And now its gone. All the lanes are open. Traffic is backed up in San Francisco near the old candle stick exit on northbound 101. Just after you pass that old exit there, that used to take you to candle stick park. Stopandgo traffic into downtown. 280 is very slow. People have heard about the crash on 101, and they are on 280. Its going to be a tough one in San Francisco. Those of you who know your way around, you might want to think about using the city streets to get into downtown or using b. A. R. T. Or muni to get downtown.

Oakland 28. 45, and san jose 18. 40. Not too shabby. Now its all out of here, and the baseball forecast looks good. Dodgers and giants today, mostly sunny, 64.
