Transcripts For KNTV Today In The Bay 20161112

Protesters gathered around the bay area again to show their dissent while also renouncing the violence of some of the splinter groups. Protesters took to the streets in san jose and oekt and San Francisco again last night. This time, though, there was no damage and no one really blocked traffic on the freeways. President elect donald trump addressed the protest via twitter saying he loves the passion theyre showing for our country. We begin in san jose where several hundred antitrump protesters marched through the downtown area for the fourth straight night with police on standby. Some of those officers were in riot gear, but they didnt need it. This group chanted peaceful protests throughout the night and they say theyre doing whatever they can to deliver a message to the president elect. Thats when problems start and this is what hes going to start. He wants to deport mexicans and m muslims and stuff like that. Why does he want to split usa up like that . Protesters in san jose say they are not going to stop any time soon. To San Francisco where about 200 antitrump protesters gathered peacefully in front of the ferry building. Police monitored this gathering as well as the protesters blocked traffic for a short time along the embarcadero before then marching up market street. And in oakland, which saw the most destructive protests in the last few days, well, oakland saw peace on the streets as demonstrators gathered downtown. Police escorted a group of about 100 people around the downtown area for hours. Some Business Owners in the area say that peaceful or not, those protests are drawing attention but driving away customers. One restauranteur says that hes goating getting a lot of reservation cancellations. Ive lost about between 80 and 100 reservations. On wednesday night, i marched with the protesters. And on wednesday night, i had to stand in front of our establishment until about 3 00 or 4 00 to make sure we didnt experience any damage or anything. Hes been in the uptown area for eight years so he reached out to other local businesses in the area, including some of the Tech Startups to encourage them not only to stay and dine in oakland but to just stay in oakland and keep their businesses there. And while protesters continue to decry the election results, the president elect Transition Team is working feverishly behind the scenes but under a new leader. Vice president elect mike pence is now in charge of the Transition Team, replacing new Jersey Governor Chris Christie president elect made that change to capitalize on pences washington experience. Pence served in congress for ten years before he was elected indiana governor. Its a matter of mr. Trump really feels that hes able to do that job and is qualified to do a certain job and he will serve him well. Trumps three eldest children are also on that Transition Team as well as newt gingrich, Rudy Giuliani and ben carson. And as that transition continues, president elect trump is sounding different from president or rather candidate trump. Hes already backing off his Campaign Promise to repeal the Affordable Care act outright. Today in the bays jean ellie shows us his changing position and what it could signal. Are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered. Yes, because it happens to be one to the strongest assets. Also with the children living with their parents for an extended period. Were going to very much try and keep that. Reporter president elect Donald Trump Tells 60 minutes he does not intend to repeal all of the Affordable Care about. U. S. Professor of politics says its a move to calm fears. The one thing he can promise right now, to back everyone off, to say hes not nearly as outrageous as we think he is, hes being reasonable on the Affordable Health care act. Reporter the question now is, will he econtinue to back pedal on divisive Campaign Promises . Today h taylor says it can go one or two ways. In order to shore up his support, he goes after immigrants or muslims. Reporter or he breaks more Campaign Promises. Read my lips. No new taxes. Reporter and like president george bush faces a republican backlash. The more and more he does this, the more support he loses from his base that really trusts him. But i think in an unintentional way, he might actually appeal to moderates, progressives, and liberals. Reporter some voters arent surprised trump is changing has hiz tune. I think we all expected that. I think we all knew that he would be telling them what he needed to tell them in order to get the votes. Reporter but they fear he cant reverse the effects of his campaign rhetoric. Unfortunately, even though the net result might be policies that i might agree with, he has, in his campaign, poisoned the way in which we talk to each other. Reporter nbc bay area news.

So, it is november. Yesterday was a little breezy in san jose and it was just raining leaves. It was pretty to look at. But today we have to clean them up. Yeah, we do and i know you were talking about it earlier, if you did want to head outdoors, its going to be hot, its going to be nice so it would be a good day to do that. If you want to enjoy your saturday raking some leaves, maybe making some piles for the kids to jump in, i used too that but i am from california so i used to have to go to my relatives in the east coast for that. Now, right now, temperatures are in the 50s so a nice cool start all along the bay area. Early morning clouds adorning, really looking nice out there in the peninsula, a very beautiful sunrise. Now, San Francisco has been seeing that patchy fog in those overcast skies all morning long, but have no fear, we are making a break and were expecting sunshine as that High Pressure begins to dominate in the forecast yet again. Now, todays overall highs, well, theyre going to be very warm compared to what they should be around this time of year, but a sigh of relief, they are slightly cooler than those almost near 80s that we saw earlier in the week. Half moon bay is staying in the 6 60s, San Francisco for a high of about 68 and near san jose, talking 63 degrees, that patchy morning fog should be clearing out but we are going to see an increase in that cloud cover. Now, we were tracking a very weak cold front that brought small traces of rain to the north bay but nothing significant. And we arent expecting any rain through the remainder of the weekend. Were actually expecting a pretty dry, mild weekend. Taking a look around 11 00, we are expecting to keep that overcast look into the area of san jose, San Francisco, out near oakland, fast forward to about evening hours, maybe 2 30, 4 00, those clouds start to dediminish and we begin to make a break in that cover, which is going to make for a nice sunday. And speaking of sunday, fast forwarding to sundays forecast, of course, weve got that football sunday, we did see those traces of rain that did maybe their way in overnight, but as we head into sundays forecast, were expecting that High Pressure to come on in and as that High Pressure begins to dominate, we ewelcome loads of sunshine which means, yes, it is going to feel slightly warmer than what we should be feeling, but thats all right because heres your hour by Hour Saturday day planner. Lets get you set up for a very nice day. By about noon, talking 52 degrees, clearing skies nearing to partly cloudy by 3 00 to 7 00, overall making your way into sunday, similar conditions, those high clouds are also going to make for a pretty nice sunrise by about 12 00, 62 bay, 70 inland and as we head into the evening hours, into the overnight hours, were going to be dropping down into those 50s. Now, over the next seven days, we do have some changes on the way. By sunday, mild temperatures, stick around for your monday but tuesday, we have a Second System that is going to bring a better chance for some rain, lot better chance than what we saw this weekend. 65 degrees clearing by the middle of next week and as we head inland, were talking mid 70s to sunday, by monday the start of the workweek, clearing out for nice sunshine and by tuesday, we are tracking that rain but overall its going to be a nice backdrop to enjoy your weekend.

We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum a new exhibit at San Franciscos War Memorial Building is honoring the people who served this country, but theres a twist. The veterans arent just the subject of the art. Theyre also the people creating it. Heres today in the bays jill rosado. Ive been making art for like 25, 30 years. Reporter there are two paths in rodney ewings life that wind back to his father. He got me into art just by bringing home comic books. Reporter he also paved ewings road into the military. I spent six years in the Army National guard. We got called up for desert storm. My father did 20 plus years in the United States air force. Reporter in an artistic salute to his father, ewing is arranging a series of military blankets. 20 representing the number of years he was in service. Reporter each one folded with military precision. My father passed away a little bit over a year ago, and ive folded it in the same way that the American Flag that my mother has. Reporter ewing is one of the artists bearing their military experience for a San Francisco Arts Commission veterans show in the War Memorial Building. About two years ago, i started looking at photographs i took while in the military. Reporter during her time as an Army Ammunition specialist in iraq, amber hoy armed herself with a camera. I guess ive always been interested in documenting. Reporter her photos reveal everyday life in training and in war. What im trying to do with my work is a kind of looking back and understanding. Thats the back of my head. I cant really imagine the person i would be today without having those experiences. I found these letters from my father. Reporter michael hall didnt serve in the military but he lived the iraq war through the letters of his father serving in operation desert storm. By the time you get this, it will obviously be after the ground war. Reporter he are retraced his fathers words in water color. Allowed me to kind of empathize deep we are my father. Reporter people who serve will say its difficult to relate the experience to others. I think theres patriotism for your country and i think theres patriotism for your family. Reporter but maybe through art, the uniform peels away to reveal a son, a daughter, an artist inside. Joe rosado jr. , nbc bay area news. People are so creative. Well, still ahead on today in the bay, how Donald Trumps Campaign Promises are shaking up workers at some of Silicon Valleys biggest companies.

Welcome back. It is 7 30 right now, looking live at oakland this morning where the weather is going to be picture perfect for whatever you have planned, whether its raking up your leaves like im going to do or taking a run around the lake, also beyond oakland, the weathers going to be perfect as well. Thanks for joining us this morning, im kris sanchez along with vianey arana with a look at our microclimate forecast and i didnt mean to spill the beans on your forecast but its too good to keep. Thats all right and i dont mean to, you know, skip over thanksgiving because its a very important holiday but it could be a good day to hang up Christmas Lights. Is it too soon . I dont know. It might be too soon but i know downtowns already looking pretty nice. Well, right now, in San Francisco, at about 62 degrees, and that patchy morning fog is finally starting to clear out, which is going to make way for, like kris said, a very nice day. San jose, 58 degrees, nice calm weather, not a lot to track other than sunshine and a warmup into the 70s is on the way. So, if you are going to be outdoors, youre really not going to need a lot of heavy rain gear, winter gear, nothing much, really. I would even say some shorts. I think i saw some people out by the pool yesterday in my complex, Half Moon Bay in the 60s and of course in the south bay, climbing right back up into those 70s and we are expecting to keep this nice weather. Find out until when. Just because its warm, doesnt mean that pool is still heated. Might just be sunbathing on thanksgiving. Keeping the peace. Demonstrators gathered again in the bay area using their voices to show their dissent while also using those same voices to renounce the violence of some of the splinter groups who have been destructive. Protesters took to the streets in san jose, in oakland, in San Francisco, last night, but this time, there was no damage and no one blocked traffic on our bay area freeways. President elect donald trump did address those protests via twitter, but it may not be what the protesters were hoping for. The message was that he loves the passion that theyre showing for our country. And we begin in san jose where several hundred antitrump protesters marched through downtown for the fourth straight night. Police were on standby, some of them in riot gear, but they didnt need it. This group chanted peaceful protests throughout the night, and say theyre doing what they can to deliver a message to the president elect. Thats when problems start and this is what hes going to start, hes going to start problems. He wants to deport mexicans and muslims and stuff like that. Like, why is he going why does he want to split usa up like that . Protesters say they wont stop any time soon. Now to San Francisco where about 200 antitrump protesters gathered peacefully in front of the ferry building. Police did monitor that gathering there as protesters blocked traffic on the embarcadero for a short time. They then marched up market street. At oakland, which saw the most destructive protests over the last few days, saw peace on the streets as demonstrators gathered downtown. Police escorted a group of about 100 people around the downtown area for hours. Some Business Owners in the area say that peaceful or not, these protests are drawing attention but theyre also driving away customers. One restauranteur says hes getting a lot of reservation cancellations and fewer diners means fewer dollars. Ive lost about between 80 and 100 reservations. On wednesday night, i marched with the protesters and on wednesday night, i had to stand in front of our establishment until about 3 00 or 4 00 to make sure that we didnt experience any damage or anything. Hes been in the uptown area for eight years so he wanted to reach out to other businesses in the area, some of them newer businesses, Tech Startups, to encourage them not only to dine in oakland but to keep their business in oakland as well. And while protests continue in the streets, president elect trumps Transition Team is working feverishly behind the scenes. Vice president elect mike pence is now in charge of running that Transition Team. Mr. Pence replaces new Jersey Governor Chris Christie in that role. President elect trump values pences washington experience and thats the reason for the change. Pence served as a congressman for ten years before he was elected indianas governor. Trumps three children are also on that Transition Team. The eldest one, as well as newt gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, and ben carson. Also on the Transition Team, pay pal founder and bay area venture capitalist peter thiel, though his exact role isnt clear at this point. Thiel donated more than a Million Dollars to support the Trump Campaign and he also spoke at the Republican National convention. We are seeing some concern in Silicon Valley as well as other wellknown ceos felt compelled to each out though their employees following the election of donald trump. Business and tech reporter scott budman has this story. Hows it going . Wonderfully. Thank you. Reporter aaron levy is used to talking with his coworkers but the ceo and cofounder took it too another level of Donald Trumps election with this memo. As things were becoming more obvious of where the election was going, that it would make sense to reassure the organization. Reporter levee telling his team he will remain an advocate for issues affecting his employees no matter what their background. Did you feel that your team needed to hear this . I actually did get a couple notes throughout the evening with people that were kind of wondering what the you know, what was going to be happening and what was going to go on. It became very clear that we needed to make sure to proactively communicate what we are going to stand up for. Reporter and he wasnt the only one moved to write. Apples ceo tim cook sent out an all hands postelection message saying apple employees should reach out to each other and celebrate diversity. Delivery service grub hubs ceo was criticized after writing that employees who share trumps views should resign. Levy is not looking for something that extreme. Im hopeful that we can work in a very constructive way with the new administration. Reporter scott budman, nbc bay area news.

Several women also accused him of inappropriate touching and when asked about the looming termination, the fire chief said she could not comment because it is a personnel matter.

Traffic is literally crawling, but there is some movement on the eastside overpass. Getting word of another collision. [burke] it happened. December 14th, 2015. And we covered it. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum maineasons landldan well, the rental market is a hot topic all around the bay area but in San Francisco, there are 16 main reasons that a landlord can legally evict someone ranging from not paying your rent to having too many roommates but one specific reason is now being used at a record rate and its all about family. These type of evictions have spiked nearly 200 in recent years. Investigative reporter with a sixmonth investigation. Even if you havent been evicted, you might be living in a home where someone was kicked out illegally and that means you can lock in that persons old rent price. Even if its thousands of dollars less than what you currently pay. Our Investigative Unit spent six months looking into evictions all across San Francisco. And we found some landlords seemed to be abusing the system. And making a lot more money in the process. All righty. You can have this. Do you want to eat this first. Reporter she and her daughter have lived in this oakland apartment for two years but they still dont consider it home. This is where they say they should be living, a San Francisco apartment that was their home for nearly a decade until they were forced to leave. I was trying to do my best to stay there with ten years of my kids in school and my whole communicate there. Your whole life was there. Yeah, its still there. Reporter in San Francisco, landlords can legally kick out their tenants if they or in some cases their relatives want to move in. Its called an owner movein eviction and when she got her eviction notice, she and her three kids had to leave their home that had been under rent control for ten years. You couldnt find a Police Station that you could afford that could fit all of you. It would have been impossible. Reporter her two oldest children moved in with their dad and she moved to oakland with her youngest daughter. Its like having your kids taken away from you. Its hard. Reporter San Francisco is home to 413 of those evictions last year. The most seen this decade. To find out whats behind the speak, we obtained city records for an entire years worth of evictions. The hundreds of pages list every landlord or Family Member that was supposed to move into a home as part of an eviction in 2014. By law, they had to intend to live there for at least three years before renting to someone new. But our investigation uncovered what appears to be widespread abuse. What we found, you know, its pretty astonishing. Thats my producer, michael. We, along with other members of our Investigative Unit traveled all throughout the city over the past six months, going door to door to nearly 300 of those homes to find out whos actually living there. We interviewed over 100 people about their living siptuation, and in 24 cases, which represent nearly 1 in 4 of all the evictions we looked into, the person who should be living in the home is not. An apparent violation of the citys own laws. Does anyone actually check if the people that should have moved in are the ones actually living there . No, we dont check. Reporter Robert Collins is the executive director of the San Francisco rent board t agency in charge of investigating wrongful evictions. The office doesnt require any proof of residency after an eviction but does investigate cases when someone files a complaint. So the people who were evicted basically have to take it upon themselves to be their own sort of private investigator . At this point, yes. Reporter collins says the best option for people is to take their landlords to court. If youve been wrongly evicted, San Francisco law allows you to collect hefty damages that can total millions of dollars. We are talking about peoples houses. Peoples homes, if you would. And were facing a crisis, so you know, theres really no way to minimize how important that is. Its tragic and very unfortunate. We showed our findings to San Francisco supervisor jane camp. Reporter where has the city been . Why doesnt there appear to be oversight . Like many laws on the books, we are a complaint driven enforcement system. But i think it would help if we started doing these random audits and prosecuting owners that were finding that are flagrantly evading the law. Reporter the rent board submits a random sampling of owner movein evictions to the District Attorneys Office each month to investigate, but we discovered not a Single Person has been prosecuted in nearly the past ten years. The d. A. s office tells us its difficult to prove that landlords actually intended to commit fraud when they evicted their tenants, which brings us back to angelique. She and her family were evicted after the owner of the building said his mother was moving in. I think he said she was sick but at one point she was going to help out with the family. Reporter the eviction filed with the city shows the landlords mom is supposed to be living there at least through next year. So we checked out the building for ourselves. And we didnt find the landlords mother. Instead, brandnew tenants are renting, and by the looks of this online ad,the apartment has been completely renovated. The listed price . 5,000 a month. Thats nearly three times the price of what rachelle was paying. Your whole life changed because they said you have to move out because a Family Members moving in, but it turns out that Family Member isnt living there. Not sure what to say to that. I mean, surprise. Reporter the landlord declined to speak with us. And the new tenants didnt want to talk either but what they dont realize is if their landlord cant defend that eviction, theyre actually entitled to rachelles old rent. Countless otherwise across San Francisco might otherwise be eligible and not even know it. You might end up having much better rent than you thought you would have. Reporter extend that to an entire year of rent and were talking about saving oz of 30,000 or 35,000 in some ca s cases. Reporter sheksz landlords shouldnt be allowed to kick anyone out until they first prove that they or their Family Members are actually moving. If thats the whole reason theyre able to have families split apart, then definitely, you know, they need to show thats what theyre doing.
