Daytime highs today 80s 90s and triple digits conquered antioch livermore morgan Hill Napa Nevado all triple digits, 90 stretch from bullet hole through oakland down to san jose. Of course one of the big stories weve been following all week is the fact that oakland native Kamala Harris. The senator. Has been selected as joe bidens running mate. And we also have the school year beginning in oakland, so the join us to talk about that and a whole lot more is oakland mayor libby shaft michelle thank you so much for joining us again. Oh good morning and i know its a hot day. But i think something thats even hotter is that biden harris ticket yeah, how about that so we had that announcement earlier in the week. Looks like so far so good a lot of the reviews about that ticket have been fairly positive. Absolutely and they should be i mullah harris is a person of such integrity and she is a fighter thats what joe biden needs by his side during this campaign and shes not going to stop fighting once they get in the white house to advance a great agenda for america, but the part people dont see about hama is just how kind and compassion that she is as a person and i hope that that shines through i hope that as voters outside of the bay area get to know her they see that side of her also ive been proud to know her for 25 years or moms were friends and i love how shes really lifting up her oakland routes as part of her campaign yeah, its it is going to say we know her well here so its going to be a string to see. The rest of the nation to get to know her whole lot better although she already has obviously National Name recognition with her run for president earlier in the Campaign Cycle as well. How do you think the everybodys talking about the debate between her and Vice President mike pence how do you figure that i can not wait we have we have seen her on that debate stage she is fearless she packs a prosecutor real punch. She drills down to the truth she does not suffer fools so i cannot wait to see those 2 go head to head because i think it will be very clear who the real leader is it was pretty impressive to see her on her various Senate Committees grilling. Various witnesses that were before her panels it and you certainly got to see that sort of d uh attorney general side of her really come to the forefront. Yes, but i hope that people see that other side when i met her 25 years ago she was setting up a mentoring program in oakland long before either of us had anything to do with politics. She is someone who cares deeply about people about families and especially for our struggling workers in america so i really am excited to help people seen that Kamala Harris because that prosecutor we will see plenty of her im sure. I have to ask and im loath to bring it up. But its out there already people talking about this latest effort to try and bring up birtherism again you know kamala you guys have been together a long time as you said your mothers knew each other was she in fact born in oakland. On people and this is what this election is all about are we going to be a country that comes together and celebrate our diversity or are we going to just continue to put up with the hate mongering that has been coming out of the white house. I know that the bay area its very proud of our diversity of our inclusion Kamala Harris being the first black woman first asian woman first biracial woman and were so proud that she is a woman from oakland. All right, lets play a hypothetical if you if youll indulge me here for a second. Lets say the biden harris ticket when said they become the next president Vice President. Should the governor call you would you be interested in an open senate seat. I think we really need to focus on making sure biden and harris get into that white house. Obviously id be honored to be considered but sole focus is on that election. There are lot of critical things on the ballot. This november prop 15 the schools and Communities First Initiative is another effort, im very passionate about so i think weve got to keep our eye on the prize because we need change in that white house all right i see what you did there segway me nicely into our next topic of conversation. So its kids got back to school on monday. Laptops hot spots there in short supply and some kids desperately need them so whats being done right now the bridge that digital divide. Listen i love how oakland comes together for its families and its children and we had done an analysis earlier that showed that 25,000 Public School students did not have distancelearning tools it at home and we launched the oakland and divided campaign we raised 12 and a half Million Dollars in just 6 days. Big thanks to jack dorsey for a 10 Million Dollar contribution to that goal and of we ordered the chromebooks a while ago we were not the only city that did that so they are finally arriving this monday so excited that every child that needs one is going to get to take home an oakland and divided laptop. Theyre going to get Internet Connection tech support right in their homes, we need to keep our kids learning during this pandemic and Distance Learning is just what were going to have to do until this pandemic goes away. And i also wanted to bring up to i know part of the Campaign Cycle. Part of the social movement this year has really revolved around. Police Police Reform connecting with communities outreach talk to me about opd cares whats being done right now to try and build those bridges between the Oakland Police department and the communities they serve. Yeah well last clinton made National Headlines when we announced a cut in gun violence in half. We can not reverse that trend we have got to keep the violence going down but last weekend was a tragic weekend in oakland with 5 homicides pd is trying to just show the community how much it cares. They turned a mobile command unit into a resource theyre riding bikes around the communities where these homicides took place and where the families and friends live just to show that we care every life lost is such a tragedy and we are committed to continuing to make this city safer and the police want to show up in a different way they have heard the calls for reform. And this department is absolutely answering them. Do you think just to bring it back to National Politics do you think. Senator harriss background in Law Enforcement you know in the in the prosecutorial sense does that give her an insight can she help effect change on the national level. She that she brought really revolutionary procedural Justice Training at the state level. She campaign for attorney general not being tough on crime but being smart on crime really focusing on prevention. But as someone who has kind of evolved and been on a journey herself. She is the perfect person to take the rest of this country on a Journey Towards a far more progressive vision of policing of Trauma Informed Care of prevent teen crime and harm and not having to clean up or punished after the fact thats who she is she has a great track record in that, but she also herself has evolved and thats why i believe she is the perfect leader not just to bring us together but to bring us along. All right and the short time that we have left to bring it up once again even though i know you cant say officially, but. If you would be open to a senate seat just okay haha what you heard it here first on mayor shep. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Ends monday. 9. 41 and on the peninsula palo alto city leaders are considering a plan to add a covid surcharge to customers bills. The mayor proposed a surcharge to help businesses that are struggling and thats the intention is to help businesses but some city leaders and some small Restaurant Owners are afraid that it actually might scare customers away. Extra amount on their bills and residents and visitors will be able to pay i think that is a way to cash their pockets and i think. Given the tenor and generosity. Her Community Think a lot of coltons will be happy to pay an extra to 5. 10 . Our local businesses to keep him afloat. Ive talked to quite few russian owners about this comes up and the longer really worried that if they. They include mister trumps comment.
