40 minutes, but it clearly emphasizes the importance of the homelessness crisis. Governor newsom made it clear, something needs to change. And says he knows californians have lost their patience. I dont think homelessness can be solved. I know that homelessness can be solved. Reporter in his second state of the state address, governor gavin newsom focused most of his speech on californias homelessness crisis. Its a disgrace that the richest state, in the richest nation, succeeding across so many sectors is falling so far behind to properly house, heal, and humanely treat so many of its own people. Reporter the number of People Living on the street jumped 16 last year to about 151,000.

Survey after survey shows this is, homelessness is the Biggest Issue facing the state. Are you a bit surprised that it was the only topic that the governor touched on today . I am. It could be pg and e. Could be water issues with the federal government, but i think to your point, heather, if Governor Newsom did a bunch of other things that people liked on his term, and homelessness was still on the rise, thats all people would remember. If he doesnt work to make a dent to change the issue, certainly his record will be marred by this homelessness crisis. Certainly, hes putting a lot of pressure on himself with the plan he laid out. Lets talk about the money aspect of all of this. The governor did talk today about a dedicated stream of funding, specifically to address homelessness, and to provide funding for some of the things that he wants to do. How does that all get paid for . Is there support in the legislature . Bipartisan support to fund all of this . And the governor says hes going to work with lawmakers to figure that out. There are some proposals on the table, limiting mortgage caps, while 1 billion sounds like a lot of money, when you put it toward this problem, its going to run out quickly. Some of the issues that Governor Newsom has been facing, is some of the plans have been about raising taxes. Anytime you mention that, people do not like thatment theyre going to have to figure out a plan that works for everyone, where they can have that steady stream of money going towards the problem. But the governor definitely setting the tone. For more on the state of the state, we have a full breakdown, you can find it all on the ktvu app. Just download it in the app store.

Taking a live look outside. It is awfully lovely out there today. Weve got a lot more sunshine yet again. Youre looking at oakland. Now were looking at San Francisco. So a live look. Weve had some very nice temperatures out there. Right now, San Francisco sitting at 60 degrees. 56 in santa rosa. 66 in livermore, and 66 in san jose. Didnt look like it was going to be that nice when you just came out of the front door this morning, with all the fog that was out there. That dissipated. Now as you take a look at stormtracker 2, weve got nice clear skies out there. There are some clouds offshore. As we zoom out here, they are going to start working their way in. Thats part of a low pressure system thats kind of getting its act together offshore. Of course, the question becomes will it be any rain for us . I want to talk about tonight, first, clouds will be moving in tonight. Overnight lows about 35 to 45 degrees. So around the bay, in the 40s. But if you are in places like livermore, theyre going to see those 30s tonight. So a little bit chilly out there. Tomorrow, we will have some clouds with us, but another really kind of warm day out there, comparatively speaking. The coast high about 60, 64 around the bay, and about 69 inland. We could even see a few spots hit that 70degree mark tomorrow. These are the average temperatures for places like santa rosament the average is 61. Tomorrow expecting a high of 68. So you can see everybody is going to be a little bit warmer tomorrow, where we should be in those low 60s. Instead, that oakland one is not correct. Not going to be 55. But everybody else will be up in the 60s. Here we are, february. It has been a very dry month so far, and the question become s are are we going to get some rain . Unfortunately, even though its going to bring some rain to california, its not going to bring the rain to Northern California. That is the problem. Well talk a little more about that, and ill time it out for you, and show you just where that rain will fall when we come back to our extended forecast for now. Coming up here on the 4 00, the divide between San Franciscos d. A. And Law Enforcement deepens. The police union is making its message very clear about its dislike.

Economically powerfully influenced my values. Bernie sanders hes fighting to raise wages. And guarantee health care for all. Now, our country is at a turning point. Hard working people, betrayed by trump, struggling to survive. In this moment, we need a fighter. Bernie sanders. We know hell fight for us as president because he always has. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. In the latest move, showing the deepening divide between the San Francisco Police Department association and chesa boudin. This website comes after boudin declined to file charges against the man seen on video attacking officers. For more on this friction, im joined now by our legal analyst. You have been a prosecutor. I have, three different counties. You know police and prosecutors work close together every day. How does this friction impact the Justice System . Well, its going to impact it in a big way. But i must say, i started my career in los angeles county, because my father was Police Commissioner in the city. Then i came to San Francisco. Ive got to tell you, i was astounded at the relationship between the d. A. s office and the police, even at that time it wasnt like l. A. , and it wasnt like Alameda County when i came to Alameda County. L. A. , alameda have very good relationships with the police. Its not a new divide. Its certainly boudin is widening that divide, but i never found it to be a good working relationship between the two. So they launched this website. Talk about what theyre hoping to accomplish . Simply, to get boudin out of office. They say how many cases isnt he prosecuting, that he should be prosecuting. Were going to layer them. And at some point, theyll bring a challenge against him in office. Remember, a few months ago, you and i were talking about this. I said give him a chance. We are a democratic society. So give him a chance. Well, were giving him a chance, and i think what the police are doing is letting that rope out to go, okay, heres one more case. Youre not going after the guy that went after the police. Youre not doing this case. Youre not prosecuting this case. Youre imposing your will. Your thinking upon the people in San Francisco, as witnessed by that one case, where a jury verdict came back of guilty. Hes saying, were going to ask for a whole lot lighter sentence. What would he do that . Why . Boudin did come into office as a reform minded prosecutor. Correct. Is it what he promised he would do while he was  campaigning . Isnt that what hes doing . In part yes, thats what hes doing. But in part no, because you have a jury coming back guilty in a case. Where a person attacked the police. Boudin says were not asking for a lot of time in this case, and im going to ratchet that time down. Those 12 people are the voice of San Francisco when they come into that courtroom and decide whether a person is guilty or not guilty. Once they decide hes guilty, then the judge should decide what the sentence is, with the input from the defense and the d. A. If the d. A. Backs off, and says we dont care judge, lets just ratchet it down, no, thats not right. What about for citizens . I lived in San Francisco, those of us dealing with crime issues, when you do have this sort of battle between police and a prosecutor, what does that do to victims of crime, and to us in San Francisco, who just want to go about our daily basis without worrying about being a victim of crime . It makes you more of a victim. Youre victimized twice. Youre victimized by the crime. Then youre victimized by the system. He says now, when the cases are brought to him, he does prosecute. Its on police theyre not increasing their number of arrests, thats what boudin says. That might be true. We have to look at the numbers, and thats exactly what the police union is going to do. Thats what theyre going to bring to the table. The officers say why should i arrest you . You make a good case. If the police, if they come out, a lot of times this he wont come out, if they come out they say, listen, d. A. s not goes to prosecute. Why should we waste our time fingerprinting, doing those things . I remember when there was a camera crew in San Francisco one time, that had car burglars on video, and they gave it to the police. It wasnt boudin at that time. This isnt new to this office. There are all sorts of things that go on there, that need to be rectified. I know that hes the progressive d. A. Give him a chance. I can almost guarantee you the police are doing that. Letting the rope out and going, he wont prosecute this, he wont prosecute that. So why should we make arrests . So everybody will be pointing. Its their fault. No, its their fault. And we the citizens of San Francisco will be affected by that, and thats whats sad about this. Michael cardoza, always a pleasure.

Vo together they worked to combat gun violence, and again to improve education for every child. Obama i want to thank the mayor of this great city, mayor bloomberg, for his extraordinary leadership. I share your determination to bring this country together to finally make progress for the american people. Bloomberg im Mike Bloomberg, and i approve this message. C1 all eyes will be on the newcomer to the president ial race, Mike Bloomberg as he makes his first appearance in a president ial debate tonight in las vegas. Reporter candidates will face off again for the ninth democratic debate. This time with a newcomer to the stage. Former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg. His democratic competitors say bloomberg has bought his way into the debate. Mr. Bloomberg has every right in the world to run for president of the united states. Hes an american citizen, but i dont think he has the right to buy this election. Reporter held in las vegas, the democratic debate will likely pit the billionaire against five other candidates who have been campaigning for months. Some more than a year. Bloomberg has put his time and money into super tuesday states, not places like nevada, where he wont even be on the ballot. I hope that the candidates dont spend all of their time attacking his wealth, but instead, looking at his ideas, his policies. He is going to be well prepared to address some of the past criticism, like stop and frisk, the misogyny. Reporter the Biden Campaign is attacking bloomberg. Bloombergs campaign responding with clips of the former Vice President supporting Mike Bloomberg. Even President Trump weighed in on the former mayor, tweeting, what mini mike is doing is nothing less than a large scale illegal contribution. There are two candidates who will not be on the stage. Tulsi gabbard, and tom steyer are still both in the race but did not qualify for the debate. Lauren blanchard, fox news. Were joined now via skype by matthew recker. We appreciate you coming on, and obviously, it appears as though all the focus tonight, or much of the focus is going to be on Mike Bloomberg on a debate stage for the first time. How much pressure is there on him, to be able to fend off some of these attacks, and some of these criticisms of his record . Well, a lot. Bloomberg has been able to really duck all of the punches from the primary up until this point, because he hasnt been on the ballot. He hasnt been on the debate stage. Its going to be an interesting dynamic to see him up there for the first time, after were already two contests in, where hes not even going to be on the ballot on saturday, or in South Carolina. Its going to be really interesting to see sort of how the other candidates go after him, whether the other candidates go after him and its going to be really difficult to say what thats going to look like. Do you think that is a smart strategy for the other candidates to go after Mike Bloomberg . Its difficult to say. I would imagine the smarter strategy would probably be to go after Bernie Sanders, since he is the clear frontrunner at the moment. Bloomberg will have missed the first four contests. Hes not even in it until super tuesday. To go after him at this point, might be easy pickens. Its not clear if its because hes not had the benefit of of being a part of this system to this point. If its the latter, they should be going after him. If hes the former, then they can possibly safely, maybe not ignore him, but focus their attention where it belongs, which is on sanders. And obviously, Bernie Sanders, he is the frontrunner in all of this. In terms of his strategy in tonights debate, what do you think his approach should be . Does he go all in, trying to take down someone like mime Mike Bloomberg, or should he stick to the issues, and whats gotten him here so far. Sanders sticks very closely to his message. So in terms of stwheas smart. Im not sure if thats quite as relevant as what hes going to do. He has not had a foil quite like Mike Bloomberg for this message up until this point. For that reason, i think frankly, sanders might be licking his chops at the ability to go after a former republican billionaire. Matthew, we just have a little time left, but got to ask you about joe biden, and what hinges tonight on his candidacy . Hes not been able to perform well thus far, and has really dropped in the polls. Biden has been generally perceived as being weak in the debates up to this point. If thats the general perception coming out today, i think it would be an overstatement to say hes done, but hes in big trouble. The fact, his entire campaign relied on essentially, an electability argument, and having lost, and lost handedly two contests, hes going to have to pivot to a different message, and rely more on his background, and his connections to barack obama, and start articulating a policy message above and beyond the idea that hes just a frontrunner. Because hes not the front runner anytime. Seems like nevada is his last hope for joe biden. We appreciate you coming on. Political scientist at san jose state university. Thank you for your time. Newly freed former illinois governor Rod Blagojevich today thanked President Trump for commuting his 14 year prison sentence. Blagojevich was convicted of trying to sell the senate seat that was vacated by president obama. Foxsmatt fin has more from chicago. Its been a long, unhappy journey.

Visit your local volvo dealer. President trump kicked off day two of his visit to the western u. S. , arriving in palm springs, and greeting supporters. He attended a big money fundraiser at the home of oracle founder Larry Ellison in rancho mirage. Today some oracle employees walked out of work, protesting ellisons decision to host that event for President Trump. So what happens when employees disagree. Joining us mitchell, president of joining forces. Org. Do you have an issue with Larry Ellison hosting President Trump for this fundraiser . No, and good afternoon, by the way, alex. I believe that we all as americans have the right to support whoever we want to support. I understand as the ceo of a large, publicly traded corporation, what he says sometimes people confuse with representing the corporation. I think its great that certain employees spoke out. I think its wonderful whats happening politically in terms of people getting excited about the election. But for any number of oracle employees or employees of any company to think that they represent the entire workforce is wrong. Lets face it. Corporations are in business to make a return on their investment. And workers taking off of work, just to make a protest stands in the way of that. So in this petition, there was a petition circulated by some of the employees at oracle who were unhappy with this fundraiser. They essentially say ellisons support of President Trump goes against the companys core values of diversity, and inclusiveness. Do they have a valid point . And do you think that Larry Ellison should have some concerns about the potential Business Impact for the company as a whole . Well first ill tell you that it is the behavior of the ceo, not the words, not the vision statement, not what you see on the walls in the office, but its the actual behavior. Ive been studying ceo behavior, and Corporate Culture for 30 years, and its very clear that its the actions that matter. So the employees are correct in saying, wow, his actions send out a message about our company. On the other hand the need for people to do the work, theyre concerned, if the employees concern is how this is going to be read by others outside the company, imagine youre a customer of oracle, and youre a middle level i. T. Person, and you rely on oracle to get your job done. If you need someone, and youre having a flare up, and someone from oracle is not available, because theyre out protesting, thats going to have a heck of a lot more impact than the protest itself. What im trying to say alex, here, is youve got to serve the customer. To interfere with the customer needs is i think worse than a ceo hosting a president ial candidate. As we wrap up here, mitchell, i guess the question moving forward is about morale at the company. You have employees walking off the job in protest over this fundraiser. How do you think Larry Ellison should respond to that internally . I think he should acknowledge it. Look, the job of the ceo, if its a publicly traded company is it to maximize shareholder value, okay . One giant step in maximizing shareholder value is to attract and retain the best and brightest employees. So i think he needs to put his ear to the ground. I think he needs to listen to employees. But i think employees have to represent, have to recognize that theres 122,000 employees at this company. Thats almost the size of the city of richmond. Theres a lot of diverse viewpoints at oracle. I think for employees to think a small number represent everybody is quite arrogant. Great discussion, always good to have you on this, mitchell marks, and the president of joining forces. Org. Take care, mitchell, thanks. All right, lets get to weather. I hope you enjoyed a Beautiful Day out there. Definitely started off a little cool, and a little foggy, but the sunshine made its way in, and now it is really nice out there. Blue skies all throughout the bay area as we take a live look outside. I wanted to talk a little about the fact that we havent had any rainfall in february. This would constitute normal rainfall in february. So San Francisco, about 4. 5 inches. Santa rosa, just over 6. About 3. 30 in san jose. That would be normal. As you know, weve had a very dry february. This week, weve had another dry week. We do have a little system that is building up off the coast here. However, it looks like this is only going to bring rain to parts of california, not all of california. Lets take a look at the bay area since october 1st. These are the rainfall totals weve had, you know, just under 16 inches up in santa rosa. Thats about 64 of normal. The longer we go, the lower that percent of normal starts to drop, right . Because weve had such a dry february. So about 54 in San Francisco. 42 of normal in oakland. And about 39 in san jose, where theyve gotten less than 4 inches of rain. So heres what happens with this system as we look at future cast. It does bring the tail end into the coast, but its a coast off low. What it does is it slips to the south of us, and brings some rain to central and southern california, leaving the bay area for the most part, dry. Obvious, as a meteorologist, that concerns me, because we really do need to get some rain in here, and it just isnt going to happen. These are the totals. As you can see here, were talking about maybe. 30 of an inch in san jose. Not much. Its not the only time weve had a dry february. These are the top six dryest februaries on record for San Francisco since records have been kept back in the 1800s. You can see february 1864, all of nothing. And then you know, it rolls right on through to february of 1967, where they got just over. 20 of an inch. I hope we do not end up on the list with this february. Also, this is impacting the sierra. Those are the snow water equivalents, basically, if you melted the snow. The percentage of normal numbers are dropping and that is not so good for us. You can see that again, we do have clear skies out there tonight. Current temperatures, check out fairfield, 70 degrees right now. Were at 60 in San Francisco. 65 in santa rosa. 64 in palo alto. Were going to see the clouds increase tonight. Overnight tonight wont be quite as cold as it was last night. Also 30s in concord, and livermore. Tomorrow, another warm day. Temperatures in those upperrer 60s in some spots, could even see 70 degrees in morgan hill. That system does start to bring that rain, it will unfortunately track to the south of us. We will get a little cloud cover from that. Taking a look at your extended forecast, we continue to warm up as we head through friday. Then temperatures do come back down again. You know, we really shouldnt even be in the mid60s. We should be lower than that in the low 60s. Its one of those things. I would like to see one of those nice atmospheric rivers set up, and bring us just a deluge of rain, so we could catch up. I dont see it there. Someone mentioned to me on social media, well, i guess the upside is the sunshine is very nice, and it is. Its beautiful. Its gorgeous. Weve had some gorgeous days here.
