KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 9am August 19, 2016

This is light my fire. I will take this. Its one of my alltime favorite songs, especially the organ solo. Welcome to mornings at 2 the 9. It will be sunny but overcast to begin with. Good morning everyone. We have a lot of news to get to. We will start with what some people are calling humanness humorous and others are calling tasteless. A statue of naked donald trump was taken down overnight by city crews. Lefty odouls restaurant is trying to see if they can put this statue on display. We have more on the story now with alex. Reporter good morning guys. It is a developing story here in San Francisco. We understand that the new donald trump statue is in the custody of San Francisco police. The owner of lefty odouls off of union square is working with the city supervisor trying to gain custody of that statue so that he can put it on display. He says he wants donald trump to go next to Marilyn Monroe in the corner. Let me show you what happened overnight. This is cell phone video of city crews removing this controversial statue that was at the corner of castro and market. It appeared there early in the day. The city says the statue had to go because no one got a permit to put it up. Donald trumps statue popped up yesterday andrew quite a crowd right away. And drew quite a crowd right away. The owner of lefty odouls is working with supervisor wiener to try to gain custody of the statue. The supervisor says its important to save this piece of art. This isnt just a funny statue. It is a funny statue but the on that you have to look at why these folks created these statues and why they put them up and why people are so interested in them. Its because donald trump has, in my opinion, perpetuated a huge fraud on this country. We found him naked and afraid and San Francisco and we are willing to show that San Francisco is a city of compassion, not a city of hate. Reporter many from supporters have taken to social media. They say these naked donald trump statues are offensive to a president ial candidate. A group described as an anarchist or collective is taking credit for the statues. The group is known as in decline and they are put up statues in new york, l. A. , cleveland in seattle as well as this one in San Francisco. The statue came down as we mentioned, and now its in the custody of San Francisco police. The owner of lefty odouls is working right now with city Supervisor Scott Wiener and a team of lawyers to figure out how to gain custody of the statue. The owner is willing to pay whatever fines may have been levied against the artist for a legally erecting that statue at the corner of market in castro. Hes going to do whatever he can to get it in his restaurant. This is obviously a Smart Business move. There you go. With this statue possibly finding a new home, the question of the day has been, do you find that statue offensive or amusing, especially now that we are three months away from election day. I am seeing let me go into my list the best response i got was, really humorist but then thought about what is it was hillary or another candidate. I would find it horribly offensive work a lot of people horribly offensive. A lot of people have said it. Thats interesting and a good point. The conversation continues online, use the hashtag ktvu. We will tell you more responses coming up in 9 30. We just learned of another shakeup in the donald trump campaign. His Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort has resigned. This move comes just days after a major shakeup that reduced his role. It follows reports about his work for a prorussian Political Party in ukraine. Donald trump will begin donald trump will begin airing his First Television ads in florida, ohio, North Carolina and pennsylvania today. He has not aired any television and since he received the republican nomination. Biskind and says his Campaign Says this will both attacking Hillary Clinton and promote National Security and other positions of donald trump. The Clinton Foundation announced that if Hillary Clinton wins in november, it will stop accepting foreign donations. Critics have questioned the context that Hillary Clinton with had with foreign donors while she was secretary of state. Once again several cities are asking Governor Brown for support after a series of shootings, hercules, richmond and others have written a letter to the governor asking for money to install cameras along the highways in Contra Costa County. There have been at least 20 confirmed freeway shootings since last october. The letter says in part, with the end of the current legislative session rapidly approaching, its imperative that the 1. 5 Million Dollars to 2 million in funding needed to found either through  legislative action or by some executive action should tap [ indiscernible ] they should be driving that letter up the interstate and handed to the governor later today. I am hoping i will be able to get into the office. If the governor is not there, its just important i hand deliver it. This is your second go around. Yes, i was here may 26. The 5 mayors signed a letter. Within two weeks i was in a meeting at the Governors Office with the secretary of state secretary of transportation. They said, yes, we understand there is a problem. We take ownership of it. Then our District Attorney sent a letter to the transportation contra costa District Attorney requesting money for cameras. Here we are now, three months later, no money. Its government, which i understand. But i want to make sure that we get to where the governor opens this letter. Civic you said the key is this his government. If a private company were to put up cameras, it would be done rather quickly and cost a lot less. Because its government, how long will it take to get this done . I think Public Safety is never number 1 with this issue right now. I think the wheels of government will speed up because it is a Public Safety factor. I am hoping Governor Brown was a mayor in oakland and a state attorney general. He knows all about this. I think he understands the importance of the Public Safety factor for west Contra Costa County and east Contra Costa County. I am hoping that we can open the door and a little bit more help. We have Traffic Cameras along various parts of the bay area and the state of california. I know you have done your research. How often has the state pay for this type of camera on roads . The freeway is a state property. The seaway should not be paying for the cameras. That is my point. The city should not be paying for the cameras. That is my point. This has been successful in other areas. This city has a system to collect all the data as well. Is it possible the governor doesnt want to give you the money . I dont think so. I think it is going to a cycle right now. My concern is that the current legislative session is going to be ending in a week or 2. Want to make sure that we have some sort of the answer. What i want to make sure that we have some sort of answer by then. What other possibilities are you looking into . It is impossible for the local city to operate the freeway. This is mandated that it is state operated. The cameras give us the ability to see what is occurring, shotspotters, live recordings. This would also be directed to storage of the data. This would be another item coming up. Another one of the cities and west county is looking into that issue. Thank you for coming in mayor. Good luck. Good luck with the letter. Hopefully you will get to see him. Up next, more on what is being called a monopoly in the options you have to keep costs down with the epipen. Welcome back to ktvu, the 9. The dow jones is down just a little bit. That has been the case all week long. The s p 500 has been down as well. The nasdaq is gaining a little bit. It could pick up in the next week because we will start getting into regular schedules after people come back from vacations. People with severe Food Allergies are spending more money for it depends which could save their life. It used to be a lot less. It now costs an average of 600 for one package of epipens with an epipen. Some are calling this a monopoly. Thank you for coming in. This is a serious topic. This is a matter of life or death for kids especially. Why has it gotten so expensive . It is the classic problem of a company that has a monopoly. The company that actually produces the epipen is a 90 market share of all the epinephrine that is sold in the world. How did he get to that point . There have other companies that have tried to develop similar products. The medication itself, epinephrine, is a medication that has been around a long time. But they hold the patent on the actual injectable system. There is not another company that allergists the that has been approved by fda. This is the only company that allergists feel comfortable with. Will this patent run out at some point . Thats when the drugs usually get cheaper. This system, when does this patent run out . It is currently patented. I dont know the exact year. There are two Companies Working on developing other ways of delivering epinephrine that would be able to secure their own patents. Neither of the 2 most promising want to been fda approved at this point. We are probably looking at 2017 or 2018. One company is in massachusetts. They are actually looking at producing a much smaller pocket sized injectable version but we are not there yet. The actual cost of the drug itself, is just a couple of dollars . Is a very old drug that has been around for a long time. Civic is a rating that state attorney generals can do to tap into the company. Bring the price down. It is difficult with a company that has a monopoly. What i could suggest for your viewers is, there are a couple of websites they should keep track of that are reliable ones. One is community. Kids with allergies. Org. The other is a blog posting. It is www. Foodallergies. Org. These sites track the Development Status of these other methods of delivery. You want your children to have access all the time, if you are a parent. They want one set at home and they want another set at school. They want to have something at an afterschool program. They want this in case their child needs something then. Does the insurance not cover this . Some do. Mailorder is another option. With mailorder you can get a 90 day supply for less money. Theres a lot of prescriptions available like that. We will put those things on our website for people so that you can get that information of how to get a discount. Thank you. Thank you for joining us, joanna. Coming up on morning at 2 on the 9, rebuilding the dream after a lake county fire torches or home. The tragic string of events that happened to a bay area member of the u. S. Fencing team while was in rio for the olympics is coming up.

Com last time last week oracle broke ground on design tech high school, the First Public School to be housed on a corporate campus. The school will be opening for the 2017 school year. Students are encouraged to fail as part of the learning process. Joining us now is the founder of design tech. Larry ellison always had the vision of a high school on campus. Here you guys are connecting to gather. How did this happen . We were actually running a school before the connection with oracle. This started in the spring of 2014. The Oracle Education Foundation was using Design Thinking which was a process that stamford uses. They had a design challenge around what the mission was of the Oracle Education Foundation. They brought together nonprofit organizations as well as oracle employees and school leaders. We were part of that group to help them figure this out. Our group came up with an idea that maybe oracle employees could volunteer to teach students. It could be a project in a box. It could be two weeks where they can come in and help any school where kids can learn tech skills. That was the start of it. As we were building that program out, calling the executive director of the Oracle Foundation we said, we like this school. We would like to try to teach kids to think and do things differently. We got really inspired by the vision of the school. She said, what does this school need. We were in half of a hallway at a high school at that time. So colleen said, you need a home. At that time, it was discussed that we own that lynn on the oracle campus land on the oracle campus. This is different from a Typical High School you may have a Football Team or track team. Do you have a coding team at your school . [ laughter ] we have swimming in Cross Country in basketball and things like that. The biggest differences we feel that we are about one thing which is teaching kids that the world can be a better place and they can be the ones to make it happen. Its about giving students a transformative experience in building up the missing as well as self efficacy. This is not happening in california today. A lot of times schools focus on the next four years, getting kids into college. This is important but we are focused on the next 40 years. We used to have this deal with the kids, go to high school and get good grades and get good grades and graduate and theres a career waiting for you for 25 years. That deal doesnt exist anymore. Were not ditching teaching kids to create a career were not doing the right thing by them, if we do that. I like your concept of teaching kids to feel. We learn more from mistakes often times than when things go really well. How are you going to implement that in the classroom. How you going to guide through guide them through that learning process. Thats a good question. How do you implement failure the classroom . [ laughter ] no one to harass me that before. [ laughter ] you know what i mean. If you try something in it doesnt work, thats not failure. If you try something and it doesnt work and you dont learn from it, that is failure. We encourage kids to take big risks. They have this mindset that they can be the ones to make things happen. At the groundbreaking last week, one of our students come with me, got up and spoke. She said, were going to take this program globally picks him up and i was thinking, great globally. And i was thinking, great [ laughter ] the building is an amazing resource but it is just as important having the access to the oracle employees and volunteers. Some kids were working on a coding problem and they got stuck. They were looking at the source of the code and they said, that person is over in the 300 building. So they were able to ask them. I know that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife started a nonprofit school. Can you get people like that involved in teaching our children . Absolutely the thing thats great about the relationship with oracle as we have full autonomy at the school. They are providing the building and access to their expertise of their employees. But we get to run the school. Its a really nice partnership you see this being the future more and more . Collaboration . Absolutely learning has changed so much. We cant say that learning just happens in the school. It happens out in the world. We want our kids to be able to solve real problems. We believe professionals working on solving a real problem can teach kids how to do that. They are certainly making connections as well. When i connections as well. [ overlapping speakers ] thank you for coming, founder of design tech high school. Coming up at 9 45, we will talk with the executive producer of their music fest about all of the age appropriate action going on.

Maybellines new loaded bolds. Make it happen. Maybelline new york. Our question today was regarding the donald trump statue. Do you think the statue was offensive or did you find it humorous . Were getting a lot of reaction. One person says both. I guess that is possible. Another person says it is offensive to the president ial race. Not everyone agrees with this view. Some people said, it was offensive. Another person chimed in and said i have a sense of uber but lets face it i have a sense of humor. Lets face it, if it had been a Hillary Clinton statue, there wouldve been outrage. Good point. One said i dont find it offensive but a lot that he has said is extremely offensive. As us
