Speech focused on the president s record and some very sharp barbs at former president trump, a cluster of supporters also gathered outside to try to get a glimpse. Its an honor to see a sitting president and im very happy with what bidens doing, brie free palestine. But supporters were soon joined by protester as a coalition of propalestinian groups and individuals gathered to try and get the president and donors attention as they drove by. Biden cannot come into town scooping up big bucks from billionaires and not be held accountable for his role in the genocide of palestinians. At this time, he continues to go about his day, worried about his election in november, not looking towards what the masses actually want him to do and how we could actually get votes by listening to the individuals who will actually vote for him in november, despite tight control by the secret service and law enforcement. Protesters tried to partially block the road as the motorcade left, but the cars never slowed down. The motorcade proceeded to palo alto and the home of former yahoo and google executive Marissa Mayer for another fundraiser. Tickets for that event ran from 40,000 to 50,000 a piece. Propalestinian demonstrators showed up outside this event as well, with some trying to impede the motorcade as it left. But again never managed to slow the president down. Minutes later, the president was back at Moffett Field preparing to fly to seattle, but not before stopping to pose with chp officers who helped him stay on schedule. Some people we talked to outside the two bay area locations were nonchalant about this president ial visit. I think its inevitable. Inevitable in what way . That that he wouldnt leave. Such a, pocket of wealth untapped that. The president did not leave the bay area untapped. It is, after all, historically a major source of campaign money. Again, he is now headed to seattle for more campaign receptions live at Moffett Field. Robert honda, nbc, bay area news. Okay. Thank you, robert. And as he just showed us, protesters did make their voices heard at both president bidens events today. The demonstrators, as you heard, are calling for a cease fire and for the u. S. Also to pull funds from israel. Tensions are around the world escalating as negotiations for a cease fire continue to stumble. As for that deal, it is best thats how one negotiator described the cease fire talks. Now on pause. This comes after israel entered rafah in southern gaza. Israel says it must root out hamas militants in what it calls their last stronghold, whether or not the u. S. Keeps providing weapons. Nbcs alice barr is tracking these developments from the nations capital. The Biden Administration tonight acknowledging its reasonable to assess that israel has used u. S. Provided weapons to inflict more civilian casualties in gaza than is widely considered acceptable. But the new state Department Report stopped short of determining that israel has violated International Humanitarian law or u. S. Weapons agreements, noting the department hasnt verified specific incidents that would justify withholding military aid. It comes as israeli troops have stepped up their attacks in gazas crowded Southern City of rafah, setting up a key test of president bidens warning that out of concern for civilians, the u. S. Would not supply certain weapons if israel launched a full scale assault on rafah. A defiant Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, saying israel will stand alone if it has to. Telling talk show host doctor phil mcgraw, we will do what we have to do to protect our country, and that means to protect our future. And that means that we will defeat hamas, including in rafah. We have no other choice. Israels determination to press into rafah, a key factor breaking up cease fire talks, according to a source familiar with negotiations to pause the fighting and free hostages now themselves, paused despite hopes momentum was building toward a deal. And as anger builds among republican lawmakers who approved israel funding, he needs to do what congress decided. The white house insists its meeting its obligations to congress, two u. S. Officials tell nbc news the administration has continued to send Israel Defensive and offensive weapons, like small arms, since halting a shipment of bombs last week to the United Nations general assembly. Overwhelmingly passed a resolution today reviving the Palestinian Authoritys bid for un membership. This is not the final step here, but israels ambassador shredded a copy of the un charter in protest. The u. S. Voted against the resolution, saying a long sought two state solution will only come through direct negotiations in washington. Alice barr, nbc news.

Just ahead, california has a budget deficit of nearly 30 billion. Thats with a b how Governor Newsom plans on dealing with that shortfall coming up next. Also, a beloved south bay water park has a new name after getting a new operator. What raging waters will now be called and when it could reopen and baseball returns right here on nbc bay area tonight at 7 00. Theyre already getting in some practice out there on the field. 73 right now. 60s through that first pitch. Were back in fremont. It broke out around 1215 on millmont drive. Thats east of i80. Now, firefighters rushed to put it out, but then it took them about an hour and a half to get control of it. This morning they were back monitoring the warehouse for hot spots. Luckily, no one was hurt and theyre still trying to figure out what caused that fire in the red. California is facing a 27 billion budget deficit. And today the governor released his plan for trying to deal with it. Spoiler alert it is brutal. And the governor warns painful cuts are ahead. Our business and tech reporter scott budman got the latest answers this afternoon. Hes here to break those numbers down. Scott and janelle. For the second year in a row, california is facing a multibillion dollar shortfall and that, according to the governor, will lead to the loss of both money that was going towards programs and jobs that were going to be filled. The legislature, Governor Newsom says california is now facing a budget shortfall of 27. 6 billion, a deficit deep enough that newsom says the state must eliminate programs and jobs that were supposed to be filled. None of this is kind of work. You enjoy doing, but you got to do it. We have to be responsible. We have to be accountable. Speaking with a split screen showing how far some state revenues have dropped recently, newsom spoke of 10,000 vacant jobs that will go unfilled and how Artificial Intelligence may be used to streamline certain operations. Just yesterday with generative ai, that is not a job killer. In fact, thats explicit in our executive order as it relates to Artificial Intelligence. But some of the new programing were doing in partnership with anthropic and google and others, and open ai as it relates to traffic management, reaction to the proposed cuts has been swift. There are, for example, 27,000 additional Child Care Spaces that will not be funded because of the governors proposals. Diane ana says the cuts are likely to hit state child care programs as well. Thats a lot of money. Thats a lot of money that can be going to families so that they could receive child care for their kids, which then would allow them to go to work. Now, newsom says looking ahead, he expects to see a slightly larger 28 billion deficit for california next year. Cuts are also expected to hit state housing programs, broadband programs and School Scholarship programs, just to name a few. Jessica. Okay, thank you scott. Wall street going strong, but consumers are in a slump. The findings come from a new survey by the university of michigan. It finds people are concerned about what the next year is going to bring. Many expect that inflation, which we were just talking about, unemployment and Interest Rates, are going to get worse. Researchers say Consumer Sentiment is the lowest its been in six months. Now. Economists are trying to figure out exactly why the stock market is seeing gains and gas prices are slightly lower. But this does come after the Federal Reserve last week decided to hold Interest Rates steady again. Now over on wall street, the week wrapped up with a high note. The dow jones saw gains today rising about 125 points, tacking on yet another day to whats now been an eight day winning streak. S p 500 also climbed, but the nasdaq did slip a bit despite the new data on that wilting Consumer Confidence raging waters in san jose is now called kali bunga, not cowabunga kali as in california. Yeah, surfs up at the south bay water park at the end of summer last year, raging waters made that surprise announcement it was not renewing the lease and closing for good because of low turnout. Then, this past february, san jose mayor matt mahan said the park will reopen under new management. And today he announced that new name kali bunga and will have an Opening Ceremony sometime after memorial day weekend. No exact date has been released yet, but yes, it will be back open this summer. Im so excited this. I love this water park weather. Yeah we are. We are really kind of hitting the our stride. Yeah man. Im like a big kid. Sometime i see those water slides. Im like so fun. I could do that. Yeah its so much fun. I just went last summer. Im going back this summer. The calabanga. Yes, a kali bunga. Our Weather Forecast this weekend is going to be really, really nice here through saturday and sunday. Well see a few changes on sundays forecast, but we are coming in with some just gorgeous weather. Lets take it outside right now. If youre doing anything this evening in San Francisco. Still holding on to some low 70s in Downtown Town and right through the mission, we got a little bit of cloud cover near the coastline. Well drop it off into some 60s for tonight, but overall mostly clear through the next couple of hours. And look at the temperatures near the bay. We are holding on to 79 degrees right now. Sunny skies. You got 70s into 7 00 and then well see some 60s later on tonight. And for the inland valleys after some 90s today. Right now were at 89. Just incredible weather. Maybe to pick your favorite restaurant, eat outside with the sunny skies. Were going to hang on to 80 right through 7 p. M, and then well drop it down to some 70s later on tonight. But really, overall, a mild evening for us. Okay, the other thing you might be hearing about, we started talking about it yesterday when we got the alert is a solar storm thats going to be happening this evening. Now what we have happening is the Space Prediction Center has issued a very rare alert here, a geomagnetic storm watch in north america. So heres the deal. Midnight to 4 a. M. We could see some of this solar storm action. So basically, youve got these storms on the surface of the sun and some of that energy could make it towards earths atmosphere. Thats what creates the beautiful aurora borealis. Now, we dont think were going to see colors as strong as this. But there is the possibility tonight, midnight into 4 a. M. Through the overnight hours as well. We could see a little bit here in northern california. Best bet would be near the california oregon border, but we still could see a few colors in the bay area. Sky on and off activity this weekend. And heres the other thing. May cause gps and power grid issues because it looks like such a strong geomagnetic storm. So were going to continue to cover this. And again, just look up and maybe well be able to see something pretty exciting on that front as we head through our forecast here for tomorrow. High pressure keeps it warm. Weve got some patchy fog at the coastline, and the one thing thats going to be different about tomorrow as you compare it into mothers day on sunday, is that area of High Pressure is going to start to move more off to the east now. Its still going to stay warm, but this system off the coastline will bring in some fog, and it looks to be a little bit stronger here on sunday morning. And that also help to drop temperatures a little bit for sunday. So were going to start it off here with some fog at the coastline. Chance of maybe some drizzle for some of the beaches. And then we have that sun right there as we head through the afternoon morning temperatures mostly clear and down into the 50s across the bay area. That will put us to 55 here in the east bay and some low 50s in the north bay. Look at these temperatures another day. Were in the 80s across the south bay 88 here in san jose over two contra costa, alameda countys 83. In vallejo, 88 in pleasanton, 78. Oakland have yet 80 in san mateo, 64. Half moon bay, San Francisco 74 in the mission and right here in sonoma, 87 on the 7day forecast. Look at this. Were down to 68 on sunday in sf, but thats still great weather to head out to your favorite spot for brunch with mom. And were down to 84 on san sunday 80s all the way through next week. So as as i said earlier, make the mimosa of it on sunday and have a great time. Well, cheers to that. Between you and the kelly bunga, weve got puns left and right. We got him. We got him. Thanks.
