Been given that he is on probation and given his prior arrest, Santa Clara Police say at 8 45 last night the 24year old was trying to park his car when he crashed into a parked car. He damaged that car as he was opening the door and left. When Police Showed up a few hours later, they suspected he has been drinking. He returned to the scene. He was cooperative and he took a field sobriety test and they arrested him. When he was released from jail this morning, he denied the dui allegation. Simple as this. Justice will be served and the truth will come out. There is no dui. Im sorry for any body i let down. Im sorry for, you know, the way the whole thing happened. It is time like, you know, i need to speak and want everybody to understand this was not a dui, the situation could have been handled differently but as far as anything is concerned, it will work out how it is supposed to work out. Hours later, the 49ers released him and his arraignment is scheduled for october 9th and thats if the da decides to press charges. We have been out here and talking to fans and they are disappointed and shocked and concerned given the 9ers high turn around this season. Keyba and mike. Im curious. Is there any potential jail time he is facing right now because of the probation violation. He was serving a threeyear probation where he was not allowed to drink alcohol and step inside a liquor star. He could face jail time being that he violated his probation. Thank you and lets bring in scott. You got to wonder how much the organization will take in. It is nonstop drama with jim harbaugh leaving and it is bad. The 49ers reached their breaking point with aldon smith. He was released after the tumultuous four year run in San Francisco. One of the most talented linebackers, 44 sacks in 53 career games. In the off field it limited mim to 18 games the last two seasons and now he has gone before week one of 2015. Leaving the 49ers shorthanded and emotionally decimated. You are aware that the 49ers released aldon smith. Its a sad day. It doesnt have anything to do about football. Although he wont be playing football for the 49ers, he will be supported and helped. And not have to walk this path alone. The team was so distraught after this mornings practice that they canceled the media availability. We will hear from some of the teammates. When you hear the coach say that, he is no longer on the team but we will still thereby for him, it says a lot about what he meant to the team and what he meant to the coach and the organization. They stuck with him and the organization some may say to a fault. Through the five issues all told and some were critical of bringing him so bass fast back. A mainstay in the locker room and one of the star faces. It is an emotional sort of dichotomy. You talk about the organization, a lot different in the 80s and 90s and with the five superbowls and everyone was clean cut. Apparently they have been trouble in the last few years, can they bounce back . And now they got a new head coach, you think things are fresh. The head coach was not greeted with a tickertape parade in the wake of the whole jim harbaugh debacle. I feel bad for jim thomaszoolo and had to do with issues nothing to do with in discretions and Patrick Willis retired and a lot of holes in the defense and aldon smith as well. A ton for the coach and organize to deal with. And it is early august. Season is right around the order. You have a month to figure it out. I guess. And they did ask him about replacing this specifically and i think it will be by a al Committee Type of thing. Eric armsted out of oregon a pass rusher and physical specimen in florida, he has been running with the 3rd team, i think he just got promoted. There you go. We will see if anyone else picks up aldon smith. The music festival, take a look right there, plenty, thousands of people are filling the city for the threeday event. And as you can see, yes, they are out there seemingly enjoying their time and lets check in with ann reuben like in the city. You made the trip across the golden gate, what was it like out there . Well, it is actually quite busy. I want to have you take a look at this. This is the main gate here and earlier this afternoon it was actually pretty quiet but you can see there is a steady stream of people that is just growing bigger by the minute. Now, general admission tickets sold out in 45 minutes and the 5th sellout in a row. Expecting more than 70,000 people to show up each of the three days for the festival and some of the headliners are elton john and sam smith and Kendrick Lamar and they have incorporated local food and wine and have Incorporated New things like a three hole mini golf course and, of course, with this many people showing up getting tickets and being here was a physical challenge but they say it is worth it. We werent going to miss it. We would do whatever it took. It was kind of hard to finish out the bart system but once we got here, thats all that is important. Two hours. Yes, two hours to get here. Among tonights headliners, mumford and sons, now the festival will bring 80 million into the local economy. And we can see the live picture and i got to wonder the upside, they are having fun and the weather is nice and the music. What about the neighbors that live nearby, i know they are not happy about the traffic. I read cant get in and out of the driveways. Yes, you know there is some neighbors that make a point of being out of town for the weekend. We actually heard that i think it is 14,000 tickets were sold in just the four zip codes surrounding outside land. There are some people that live right close by that have chosen to join the mayhem and join. I am a mumford and sons fans. Are you excited or are you the elton john crowd . Where will you go with, ann . I would be excited to see mumford and sons and i would not turn elton john down. I would love to be here but i dont think we get to stick around. I wish we could. I do like elton john, tiny dancer. And great local bands. You cant go wrong. Good to have the local vibe. Ann reuben, thanks. They worked hard for years and potentially dangerous work and many of the chinese migrants arent even know. We will tell you more. I will have a look at your Current Conditions coming up gloom here is the look at the approach to the toll plaza. Not too bad. You are watching the 4 on 2. It was back breaking, deadly work but thousands of chinese migrants volunteered to con truck the Transcontinental Railroad and endured the lowest pay and it was grueling work conditions and harsh weather and 1200 workers died. They built the railroad and helped built a nation and until recently their sacrifice was received by little recognition. Now stanford is gathering stories with a project. Joining me now is hilton oberzinger. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. How did the work of the chinese migrants go unnoticed and unrecognized for so many years . We could use one word, racism and prejudice and particularly right after the railroad was built, huge anti chinese riots and what ended up being the exclusion act, excluding chinese from coming to america. So then afterwards, you know, the 50th anniversary of the golden spike, a few old veterans that showed up but basically it has been part of High School Everyone has a paragraph in their high School Textbook and thats about it. A paragraph . Yes. To bring us how the idea for the project came about . Well, Stanford University has a direct connection to the railroad and when leeland stanford was the president and the enormous wealth after the tragic death of his son, the money was given to Stanford University and the university owes its existence to those Chinese Railroad workers and we are going to, for the first time for example, officially the university, this year recognized the contribution of the Chinese Railroad workers. How important is it to tell the story and how they impacted our country and from their perspective and the u. S. Because there is definitely two perspectives when you tell it . Definitely and for the first time this project is studying all sides of it and the impact, the railroad, was the connect to the country for the first time, east to west. And that developed all kinds of things as well as trade in the pacific. But what we learned is that chinese rental workers worked on all kinds of railroads, in fact, they worked on cal tran. The san jose, San Francisco southern pacific, Northern Pacific railroads and texas and many places in addition to working in mines and agricultural and all of those other places, you know, kinds of work. So the chinese had a huge impact on the development of the west and they were able to work under very tough conditions. 1200 died we said at least that we know of. We dont know exactly but there is a lot of things that we dont know exactly, for example, payroll records they didnt know chinese names and they would put down Something LikeJohn Chinaman at work or john chen or jane doe or john doe. Exactly. So we are laboriously trying to trace the actual people. We have gone from the villages they came from. They came from one province and its like saying the people from napa and sonoma and they came to china and out of all of america and one what we think of today as cantonese food brought over by those folks. As we wrap it up, do you need any help, are you asking the public for help and when it is said and done, where can we learn about this history . In terms of help, if anyone has any relative who has worked on the railroad, that has any kind of documents or memories, transmitted through the family, we are doing an oral history project with Chinese Americans as well as people that are descendents and their family and that is one way that people can help. Of course we are always in need of donations but go to website to look for that. Archaeologists have continued to go to where Chinese Workers did their work and have come up with all kinds of artifacts and materials so there is a book of that already out. And there will be a collection of essays and a historical book and exhibition, photographic historical exhibition and people are working on documentaries. Have to look ahead and keep looking for it . Yes. The associate director of the project, hilton, thank you. Thank you. Mark and rosemary and ike over to you. Well the lightning was spectacular last night. Ktvu viewers were sharing their video and photos on social media. Every time i see this it is like the grateful dead song if the thunder dont get you the lightning will. There is other good ones, this video in san mateo and we received video from almeda. Everyone saw it. We tried to catch the videos and photos and folks in gil roy. The lines did cause damage. P g e crews were called out in san jose where the lightning struck a transformer and killing the power. No one was hurt and neighbors say it was pretty scary. I was sitting out having watching the lightning with a friend of mine and pretty soon there was enormous flash and incredible boom and we were disoriented. I saw some sparks and realized that a tree in the backyard next door had been hit. I guess rosemary, better the tree than an actual person. Absolutely. We dont see this too often. Your right, on occasion and typically during the summer months and sometimes during the winter but quite a show. Fascinating. All right. So we are tracking still a little bit of lightning not in the bay area but over portions of the sierra. I will show you that in a moment. Giving you live look from San Francisco, across the bay towards the east where we have blue skies this afternoon and into the east bay where we have mostly sunny skies. So we saw some nice weather come our way once the clouds cleared earlier. Here is a look at the system pushing off to the east and as it does it leaves us with dry quiet weather. There is a redflag warning in place for the next 40 minutes or so and if you take a look, you might be able to pick up on some of the lightning that is viking over areas of tahoe and perhaps a few scattered showers there as well. This is going to wind down as we get into tonight and the weekend looks pretty good for the sierra. We got mostly clear skies over portions of the coast and outside land, mostly sunny skies and mostly sunny skies for the rest of us as well. We are going to have a nice evening in store for outside lands, 66 degrees and low 60s for the 7 00 hour and sun will set at 8 09 and 60s at 10 00 where things began to wrap up. The low clouds getting in the late night hours and to tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, dry and mild, perhaps slightly warmer for some and sunday a tad warmer. All in all it will be a minor, minor warmup. 80s right now in walnut creek and 74 for napa and 77 in nevada and along the peninsula 75 and 79 redwood city and 79 in san jose where we have the jazz festival and we will go later on that to mark. He is there live this afternoon. Temperatures in the overnight, upper 50s and low 60s and 59 in San Francisco tomorrow morning and low 60s expected in oakland and 57 for napa and 60s in conford and 61 for livermore and the low clouds as we start the day and mostly clear skies away from thecross line and temperatures, for this time of year maybe a tad cool but not bad. 66 for pacifica and 77 in france and mid70s for oakland. Low 80s concord and livermore, mid80s and antioch one of the warmer locations for tomorrow and in the south bay 86 and 84 for santa rosa and the extended forecast with your weekend in view, temperatures looking good for tomorrow and then notice a slight warmup as we get to the second part of your weekend. Mid to upper 80s in the forecast for the inland communities and upper 70s around the bay and upper 60s for the coastline. We get another cool down for the business week with temperatures cooling off in the 70s. Consumer report launching a petition for changing Car Insurance and why most of us are being overcharged. Do you ever feel like you are paying too much for Car Insurance. Consumer reports says you are probably right. In todays money business pam cook explains what Consumer Reports found and what you can do to make sure you are not overcharged. Are you paying too much for your Car Insurance analysts say you should shop around and compare rates. A recent study finds only 20 of drivers shop around for Car Insurance. And that average policy holder is paying close to 400 more per year than they should. Things that affect your premium, your marital status, your zip code and believe it or not, your credit score. Consumer reports just wrapped up two years of research. They analyzed two billion price quotes and they say your credit card score may have an impact on how much you pay than your driving record and other things completely related may come into play, your Shopping Habits and how you respond to previous rate hikes in your policy and probably the most shocking finding in the analysis. In one example in florida, adult single drivers with poor Credit Scores paid 1500 more per year than the exact same driver had excellent Credit Scores and a drunk driving conviction. As a result of the findings, Consumer Reports is encouraging people to sign a petition to the 50 state insurance commissioners. That petition asked them to make sure that Car Insurance is priced on how we drive and not how we shop or pay our bills. Thanks, pam. You can read more about the special investigation and sign the petition if you want. At ktvu. Com. Look at it right there on the home page. Sparks and accusation on the main stage of the gop. We will break down the most widely viewed debate in television history. Coming up after the break. It was a record 24 Million People watched the Republican Debate on fox news last night. The highest rating ever for a primary debate and the biggest viewership of foxs channel. We are looking at the take aways from last night. We are here with brian soller and donnie faller. Lets start with donald trump. The crowd was kind of booing him and rand paul was attacking him. Do you think trump got off the wrong foot. He did what he needed to do, challenge the establishment and push back the Mainstream Media and the candidates that had been around politic too long and he did that. Brian. I think he turned in the performance he wanted to. He comes off as the every day person with anger and at government and that sort of thing but at the end of the day he is a shooting star. He is being more honest. What about his temperament. Angry and defensive. All of those things. And tapping into a segment of the republican electorate that is frustrated at washington d. C. And the Republican PartyNational Leadership and thats why he is in first place. There are real voters that support him. And talk about his temperament, talking about pursuing the and containing the borders. He went out at it and with that tone, is it going to resonate with the americans. Right now it will. You have to go back and look at other people that have been in his place. Ross perot comes to mind. He jumped out of the race before jumping back in. My belief is over time, donald trump will end up leaving the race or just fading. Lets move on from trump. Last night we asked you to keep an year open for something that caught your ear when terrorism came up and protecting america, brian you said that caught your ear specifically the collection of phone data. Lets let the viewers listen in on the conversation. Im the only person on the stage whose actually file application on the patriot act and gone through the Foreign Int
