and you heard that they are looking into speed in case that might have been a factor and how they were approaching their landing point at that time, it's going to be take another one to 2 years as this investigation can take that long to really learn what caused that crash. we did see a bit of wind in that area but not anything to wild weather on our and the santa cruz county sheriff's office

way. still some low hanging clouds as you can see. but we have our new meteorologist joining us now for what we can expect during the weekend. kayla. hey there. it is going to be a pretty good weekend going to see some cooling. but i wanted to start off that. you're looking at sfo and talk about airport delays right now. >> even despite the fog, as things are running just fine right now, you can see we've got some breezy conditions but not bad. if you're heading out of town, maybe want to check the other regional airports, too. and you can see we're all looking good from san jose to oakland to la to vegas, which had a little bit of a delay, but now is picked up even new york city. so speaking of the country, one, it's a kind of a wide look here. you can see the monsoonal moisture is in the southwest and also got storms down in houston along texas there and to louisiana and right up into the carolinas. but for the most part we're doing okay what it also point out, by the way, boston right now, which is sitting at 90 degrees, they are having fire concerns because they have wind and low relative humidity right now. so we're not the only one to kind of worry about at this time of year. currently in sacramento 91 degrees. death valley. is it too? and you can vegas right now sitting there at 95. where are we going to be today? well, if you're inland, we're still looking out for some of that heat. so concord livermore looking out for 96 degrees. 98 in santa rosa. a north bay is going to heat up today. 71 in san francisco, beautiful around the bay still got some fog that was out there this morning. but if you're looking to beat the heat may be you head to tahoe this weekend. 86 degrees looking at for sunshine should be beautiful. notice there is some heat there in reno and in carson city. here's our extended forecast. so if you're looking for the break, folks, those of you inland, it's coming to sunday. we'll see about a 10 degree temperature drop. so you've got outdoor plans you to catch up in the yard work. there's your opportunity as we get into sunday and monday. ella, back to you. actually. let's do this. take a look at this video. i want to show you this parts of death valley will reopen tomorrow 2 weeks after heavy rainfall caused severe flooding. now the storm damaged 60 cars and trapped about 1000 visitors and national parks. staff 200 miles of roads were deemed unsafe. and another 800 miles still have to be examined. this. what you call a 1000 year flood. so extreme situation there. ellen, by the way, even though the reopening this weekend, death valley looking at temperatures, upwards of 110 degrees this weekend. so maybe not where you want to be. exactly, but it's good to see that their reopening many people from the bay area with some high those temperatures. thank you so much. to kyla grogan for that in national news now, the public may get to see some version of the affidavit supporting the search warrant. >> for former president donald trump's estate in florida, washington, d.c., correspondent reshad hudson has that report. >> good morning. if the judge does release that information, it would only be a small piece into the doj is investigation of former president trump. it's been almost 2 weeks since fbi agents searched former president donald trump's florida home on thursday. attorneys representing news organizations asked a federal judge bruce reinhart to make the affidavit behind the search warrant. public reinhart said he's leaning toward on sealing it with some parts blacked out. he understands that the public is going to likely be entitled. >> to some parts of this warrant application and its affidavit. >> the justice department wants the entire affidavit to stay sealed, arguing its release would compromise their investigation, but still in its early stages. but the judge said the doj had not met the high threshold for keeping the documents from being released. the affidavit is likely to contain key details about the boxes of classified records. the fbi removed from trump's home, but it is not the government's job to tell the public what is meaningful in terms of the release of its own information. a judge gave the department of justice a week to submit their version of proposed redactions reporting in washington. reshad hudson. back to you. >> still ahead at noon, the gun violence blame game is ramping up. why industry leaders are firing back at politicians and the media. we've been reporting a lot of stories on young girls gone missing. of course, we're going to hear from advocates on why that may be the case. up ahead. >> 3 bay area teams have been found safe after being reported missing in the past week. cropper says it monday and reports on what appears to be a rise in these types of cases. >> there appears to have been an increase in reports of missing girls in northern california. the movie and the poor. you are seeing more because they're paying more attention, specifically paying more attention to missing black and brown news. that is one of the factors. an increase in reports of missing girls. according to jennifer lyles, the executive director of missy. >> an oakland-based nonprofit organization that specializes in helping young people that are at risk or experiencing exploitation. lyles says let youth make up about 5% of the population nationwide. but annually represent over 30% of the youth that go missing. the reason that they are kidnapped and taken in such great numbers because of me. >> perpetrators know that nobody going to look at. and they had much. but we're seeing major but other young women, but not our girl. >> and that the another factor she says in the increase of missing young people, the covid-19 pandemic, she explains. >> so, you know, during the pandemic, we saw an increase. you know what's happening with for if there's an increase in need with an increase in homelessness. we saw an increase it, its variants of the and they have restarted patient. you. that been is an increase in. happening this year. that's the question in in the trafficking you. >> jennifer lyles says while some girls are found safe, others remain missing. >> or worse, receive would be free. >> or missing, you are. and like i said, >> before from bowl. they so. >> as they come at kron 4 news. >> if you're a young woman who needs help or you know, someone who does there are resources in the bay area that can help. we've listed them up on our website. kron 4 dot com. >> coming up, if you are making your plans for the

people who were already rich and famous. we have a detailed report up ahead. also more than a year after the fall of kabul in afghanistan. we're going to check in on how those who have been immigrating here are doing also we're again this incredible plane crash that happened in watsonville. we're trying to learn more about what led up to this. welcome back. we're following the latest details on a deadly plane crash in watsonville. that crash happened at around 3 o'clock thursday afternoon. >> above the skies of the airport. let's go to kron four's theresa stasi or she is live at that airport now with the latest from a press conference that wrapped up with investigators to recent. did we learn anything new today? this is such a sad circumstance. nobody ever wants to report on these things. we did learn some new information. >> a news conference just wrapped up a couple minutes ago. the ntsb out here. >> as well as the director of the airport. we've got some video that we want to show you of that collision that you're mentioning that happened yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. now the ntsb saying at the news conference that they are in the initial phases of their investigation, they are going to be talking with witnesses. they encourage anyone saw something to please contact >> them through the website. they are also going to be recovering. the plane's from the crash locations. everyone involved in this midair collision died. one person on the single engine cessna 2 people and a dog on the cessna. 3.40, ntsb officials say that they will look at person machine and environment. >> to determine the cause of the crash. we heard from the airport director about how this is a very tight community out here and that everyone is grieving. what happened? the airport itself. >> is a strong community like many municipal airport such as we have here, any time that there's accident or there's a concern whether a loss of life, which is the most serious or someone has a flat tire in the in on the ramp. it's a it's a small community. and there are people here that certainly are grieving everyone is doing everything they can to assist us. we're very much a saddened by this event and we're going to wait for the investigation before we make any other comment. >> asked the director if he remembers any kind of similar collision in the past couple years. and he said that does not have any memory. he has been the director here since july of 2011. as far as the people that died in this tragedy, we do not know their names right now. that is a pending releasing talking to their family members before they release any names. we do not know their gender as well or where these planes were coming from. ny spoke to a couple witnesses out there out here. and they tell me that one plane was coming in very fast and that they were very concerned. and they also say that one person inside the smaller plane may have been a someone that was learning how to fly. but a lot of unanswered questions right now. so the investigation certainly on the way it's going to take a long time for them to gather all the we'll continue to stay on this reporting live here in watsonville and theresa back to l a. >> could take more than a year. thank you so much. tree set. >> in other news, one year after the fall of kabul, a new report is highlighting the differences between how people coming to america from afghanistan were treated during the immigration process compared to those coming from ukraine. several news organizations requested documents from the u.s. citizenship and immigration services to show the differences. the group's found to gain temporary entry to the united states. more than 66,000 afghans applied through a process called humanitarian parole. the process requires filling out piles of paperwork, months of waiting and it's expensive. almost $600 per person. in contrast, the documents showed after russia invaded ukraine. the u.s. created a special process for ukrainians which can be filed online for free. a san jose legal non-profit center wants to highlight the unequal systems and to see some change here. >> i hope it's nothing that's intentional. that is something that they realize, ok, well, was actually working well for for ukraine. we can maybe a clear and quite a similar program looked identical, bu similar program for so we're just hoping that in the next few weeks or months, we will have some change in the way afghans are being taken out of afghanistan and pulled into the mix is. >> the report uncovered government records showing only 123 afghan humanitarian parole applicants were approved between july 2021. and may of this year while 68,000 ukrainian applicants were approved. timing shortages are everywhere these days, including the u.s. army's. so getting soldiers ready has been an uphill battle reporter pup paula froelich reports on the army's new program to train recruits. >> the united states army faces one of its biggest challenges ever on it. one of the worst recruiting shortfalls, possibly the worst since it went volunteer in many young people who want to enlist aren't eligible because they aren't passing basic physical and education tests or have criminal records. only 23% of americans age 17 to 24 meet the army's requirements we get an all-time low. the result the army's recruited barely half just 52% of its target for the current fiscal year. that's where the future soldier preparatory course comes in. it's a unique pilot program starting this week where workers can not only take advantage of an historic $50,000 signing bonus, but get paid to get in shape physically and mentally. i joined the inaugural class of 250 recruits for the fiscal fitness portion of the prep course at fort jackson near columbia, south carolina. these would be soldiers have up to 90 days to drop up to 6% of their body. that meet the other basic requirements for boot. camp colonel cancel runs the program. he told me it's no longer enough to keep unfit people out. it's on the military to help those who are willing to get in to meet them will meet the more than halfway and then they've got to bring the game finish it up. but it's it's an exciting thing to watch. you saw it. i hope you sell to today. we're here while i was working out, i got the chance to talk to several of the would-be recruits this program open and i'm grateful that the program open because it's helped me a lot and it's helped me grow into a better person. leaders here all want americans to know that the army isn't dumbing down or easing up in any way. all of this remedial work leads up to the full on training camp. those pollard for like reporting for us, gun control was front and center at the state capitol with democratic lawmakers voicing support for president biden's actions on so-called ghost guns. >> under biden's legislation as of august 24th ghost guns will need to have a traceable serial number and the owners of the guns. we'll have to go through a background check. critics point out california already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and argue that more gun control won't be effective. some voicing that it will instead strip law-abiding citizens of their second amendment rights. while others think otherwise. >> california is safer because of our guide loss. we're going to keep at it. change the culture of gun violence in america, in california and in our communities. >> assembly member levine says that his bill needs all the support that it can get because the legislation requires two-thirds approval from both chambers. well, who's to blame for violent crimes and mass shootings? smith and wesson ceo mark smith is criticizing politicians and the media reporter markie martin has that story. >> on monday, the ceo of smith and wesson not mincing his words in a published statement blaming politicians and the media for a crisis of violence. the backlash comes weeks after mark smith refused to testify alongside fellow firearm executives in front of the house oversight committee which has been investigating the industry in the wake of mass shootings in buffalo, uvalde highland park and tulsa. no civilian needs an assault rifle. >> and the second amendment does not protect the right to own a weapon of war. smith blaming lawmakers referencing progressive crime policies saying in part this, some have had the audacity to suggest that smith and wesson and other firearm manufacturers are somehow responsible for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies after smith canceled his appearance in front of the committee, chairwoman carolyn maloney issued a subpoena to smith and wesson for documents related to its manufacturing and sales of ar 15 style guns writing in part, your testimony would have shed light on why your company continues to sell and market these weapons to civilians. despite recent mass shootings with your products, texas senator roland gutierrez says blame false everywhere. the other day marks misses in the business of selling guns. and i i get that and i understand that. >> politicians need to create policies. they keep. >> his guns out of the hands of kids. and that hasn't happened. >> according to the oversight panel, major gun manufacturers, including smith and wesson, have made more than 1 billion dollars in the last decade selling military-style weapons. smith finished his public statement by saying smith and wesson would never back down in their defense of the second amendment. turn things over. now to the forecast. let's take a live look outside now. well, we'll meteorologist grogan. tell us how it's going out there. kyla. yeah, they're lso. we are getting ready for a good weekend for those of you inland, we're finally get a little bit of relief as we get into the latter part of the weekend. let's start off with the set up here. high pressure has been in the desert southwest that's been helping us to heat up. however. >> a little low pressure is going to scoot into the pacific northwest. and what that means is it's going to bump those inland temperatures down because it's going push that high pressure out a little bit so that every length so cooler for those of you inland on sunday. yeah, it's going to be a big difference. but today we're already kind of off to the races, antioch at 91 degrees already at this hour. much cooler the coast where we've had fog this morning. as you can see, just 58 degrees in half moon bay. just 56 in san francisco. we're in the upper 60's in napa and 70's up in santa rosa. the wind is relatively light, although we do have a little bit of a breeze there in san francisco as usual, that miles per hour and our air quality is holding pretty steady. everybody in the good to moderate category. you can see in and around san jose that yellow popping up. but we're expecting by the time we get into the weekend, everybody looking pretty good here is that smoke tracker just want to show you. there you go. how about that? as we get into our friday night, that looks much better a little bit trying to creep down again as we get into saturday. so we're playing cat and mouse with that. but hey, we'll take the way we're doing pretty good today. high temperatures today they will be warm in antioch. you get up to 98 degrees. same story in santa rosa. talk about 71 in san francisco around the bay. pretty nice redwood city. 85 degrees for you and your weekend. let's talk about what's happening for the weekend. i mentioned there's a cool down coming so you can see it here for those of you inland. 10 degree drop when we go from saturday to sunday and then it's going to hold for you as we get to monday. now around the bay. hey, this is pretty nice, right? some 70's up to about an 80 degree mark and then some 60's as we are out at the coast. if you've got those, how do you do chores to do that list? make sure you're doing that on sunday. we'll be right back. everybody. stay with us. and coming up, we're finding out where pandemic paycheck funds ended up going. >> why some experts say millions of dollars went to people who didn't need the help. meantime, hollywood is remembering one of its stars with a new theatrical run. more on that rig. it ahead. we also have some video of intense moments in southern california in los angeles where police say hundreds of people rated a store. that's straight ahead. >> take a look at incredible new video of the moment that a driver loses control of their car and plows into a house barely missing a man inside with his 2 dogs. the suv went into the first floor of that house over in huntington beach around noon yesterday. the homeowner says that he was just sitting in the room when the suv, which the suv have demolished, but have actually gone up to use the restroom just moments before the impact, the driver suffered minor injuries. we have some other intense video to show you. a wild mob took to the streets of south los angeles reporter alex cup or a low has that story. >> a chaotic scene playing out at a california 7.11. a massive mob of people barred the convenience store in the los angeles suburb of harbor gateway. the group trashing and vandalizing the business that turns into a rule just. >> and we saw what mob mentality to come inside the store. they start ransacking the place. i'm taking everything. surveillance video shows the mayhem with people jumping over the counter grabbing cigarettes, food and even lotto tickets. others pulling out their phones to record the wild scene. also in the store, a single clerk fearing for his life. this guy. >> just decide to start grabbing food and chips in in, but not as and stuff starts throwing it out. the work that he's just busy hiding in the back. >> all this as an illegal street takeover happens just outside hundreds of cars blocked the intersection, doing dangerous stunts. police say it was just one in a series of takeovers that night. one even ending in a deadly shooting. there are people on the field are trying to really get to police. they had to go somewhere down the emergencies. >> and they're dissing are stuck. so these guys can do their thing. so people are tired of this. the latest crime coming just weeks after a deadly robbery spree at other 7 11 stores in california. >> 2 people were killed and 3 were wounded. police say a half dozen stores were targeted in just 5 hours, setting off an intense manhunt that led to the arrests of 2 men. and it's all part of a disturbing trend. property crimes such as looting and smash-and-grab thefts are up in major cities in los angeles. data shows thefts increased 11% from this time last year in new york, fifths are up 48% over last year. and in chicago, it's even higher with thefts up a dramatic 66%. >> those alex ca perillo reporting the lapd has a huge task ahead of him trying to identify any of the hundreds of people that looted that store. so they're encouraging anonymous tipsters to come forward in other news, a grant in california could incentivize schools to teach financial literacy, the young adults more than 1 million dollars will be provided to both private and public high school teachers. her start personal finance classes. researchers say that students who have access to financial education, we'll have less debt and a higher quality of life. >> it really does help students to think differently to think like a notch in or some students have even launched but whether they want your business are not thinking like an entrepreneur is helpful to their lives. it may help them to get on career pathways. >> lawmakers hope this new grant will empower california's future workforce. we're learning more about the pandemic's impact on businesses and how some may have taken advantage of the federal assistance programs. reporter rich mchugh has that story. >> when ordinary americans were struggling during the pandemic and small businesses were closing by the thousands. the government doled out 11.4, 7 million paycheck protection program loans or ppp, billions of dollars to companies in need. the folks in congress who wrote the bill to establish ppp and send the money out to businesses. the main goal was just to send people money to keep them employed. but millions and millions and millions also went to companies owned by the uber rich in celebs like kanye west, khloe kardashian, jared kushner, the overriding lesson that i've taken away from this data is the government really wanted to put a lot of money out into the economy and get into the hands of people. derek willis with pro publica collected the data into a database to search every single ppp loan that was given out. and as a result of that, they designed a program that made it easy to apply for relatively speaking and easy to get money and easy to get forgiven. for instance, kanye west company yeezy got 2.3 million in change. khloe kardashians company. good american llc received 1.2 million in change businesses related to jared kushner and donald trump took it over. 25 ppp loans worth more than 3.6, 5 million. the list goes on. but the kicker. >> most of the loans have been forgiven. walk me through how this why they would even eat given these loans and whether it be forgiven. but the short answer is they were eligible to be given these loans and because the eligibility requirements were not very strict. kanye west was native billionaire by at the same time that you he was out taking ppp loans. carol roth, author of the war on small business. it just goes to show you that there are winners and losers in central planning and the wealthy and the well connected or taking care of at the expense of those who are not in march. president biden in the state of the union made this vow. we're going to go after criminals who stole billions of relief money meant for small business and millions of americans. and earlier this month he signed a bill giving the justice department more latitude to investigate people accused of fraudulently collecting these loans. the structuring on ppp was really flawed from the start. the reality, according to roth, is that the super-wealthy were well within their rights in taking these loans. even if you are wealthy, because that was the way that it was structured by the government's you got a free pass. this is all shocking informations people, including myself. what this is all legal, this was league. is that right? yes, this is entirely legal for almost all of them. there are certainly some companies are part of the fraudulent taking on of the ppp. but for most people who are the wealthy and the well connected who at plea, we may not think i'm really needed that loan. they were just following the rules and regulations in the way that they were put forth. so, you know, at the bleed, maybe it wasn't a great decision on their part. but the blame really resides here with the government. >> i was rich mchugh reporting for us. turn things over to the forecast as we are taking a live look outside this time at the san francisco embarcadero. and we're talking about the weekend. of course, we are seeing some beautiful temperatures out there. so if you want to make some outdoor plans, i would say for sure do so. so we're just going to get that there and get straight to. >> kron 4 meteorologist kyla grogan with us with the details and your 7 day

going to see some cooling. but i wanted to start off that. you're looking at sfo and talk about airport delays right now. >> even despite the fog, as things are running just fine right now, you can see we've got some breezy conditions but not bad. if you're heading out of town, maybe want to check the other regional airports, too. and you can see we're all looking good from san jose to oakland to la to vegas, which had a little bit of a delay, but now is picked up even new york city. so speaking of the country, one, it's a kind of a wide look here. you can see the monsoonal moisture is in the southwest and also got storms down in houston along texas there and to louisiana and right up into the carolinas. but for the most part we're doing okay what it also point out, by the way, boston right now, which is sitting at 90 degrees, they are having fire concerns because they have wind and low relative humidity right now. so we're not the only one to kind of worry about at this time of

organizations asked a federal judge bruce reinhart to make the affidavit behind the search warrant. public reinhart said he's leaning toward on sealing it with some parts blacked out. he understands that the public is going to likely be entitled. >> to some parts of this warrant application and its affidavit. >> the justice department wants the entire affidavit to stay sealed, arguing its release would compromise their investigation, but still in its early stages. but the judge said the doj had not met the high threshold for keeping the documents from being released. the affidavit is likely to contain key details about the boxes of classified records. the fbi removed from trump's home, but it is not the government's job to tell the public what is meaningful in terms of the release of its

nationwide. but annually represent over 30% of the youth that go missing. the reason that they are kidnapped and taken in such great numbers because of me. >> perpetrators know that nobody going to look at. and they had much. but we're seeing major but other young women, but not our girl. >> and that the another factor she says in the increase of missing young people, the covid-19 pandemic, she explains. >> so, you know, during the pandemic, we saw an increase. you know what's happening with for if there's an increase in need with an increase in homelessness. we saw an increase it, its

that airport now with the latest from a press conference that wrapped up with investigators to recent. did we learn anything new today? this is such a sad circumstance. nobody ever wants to report on these things. we did learn some new information. >> a news conference just wrapped up a couple minutes ago. the ntsb out here. >> as well as the director of the airport. we've got some video that we want to show you of that collision that you're mentioning that happened yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. now the ntsb saying at the news conference that they are in the initial phases of their investigation, they are going to be talking with witnesses. they encourage anyone saw something to please contact >> them through the website. they are also going to be recovering. the plane's from the crash locations. everyone involved in this midair collision died. one person on the single engine cessna 2 people and a dog on the cessna. 3.40, ntsb officials say that they will look at person machine and environment. >> to determine the cause of the crash. we heard from the airport director about how this is a very tight community out here and that everyone is grieving. what happened? the airport itself. >> is a strong community like many municipal airport such as we have here, any time that there's accident or there's a concern whether a loss of life, which is the most serious or someone has a flat tire in the in on the ramp. it's a it's a small community. and there are people here that certainly are grieving everyone is doing everything they can to assist us. we're very much a saddened by this event and we're going to wait for the investigation before we make any other comment. >> asked the director if he remembers any kind of similar collision in the past couple years. and he said that does not have any memory. he has been the director here since july of 2011. as far as the people that died in this tragedy, we do not know their names right now. that is a pending releasing talking to their family members before they release any names. we do not know their gender as well or where these planes were coming from. ny spoke to a couple witnesses out there out here. and they tell me that one plane was coming in very fast and that they were very concerned. and they also say that one person inside the smaller plane may have been a someone that was learning how to fly. but a lot of unanswered questions right now. so the investigation certainly on the way it's going to take a long time for them to gather all the we'll continue to stay on this reporting live here in watsonville and theresa back to l a. >> could take more than a year. thank you so much. tree set. >> in other news, one year after the fall of kabul, a new report is highlighting the differences between how people coming to america from afghanistan were treated during the immigration process compared to those coming from ukraine. several news organizations requested documents from the u.s. citizenship and immigration services to show the differences. the group's found to gain temporary entry to the united states. more than 66,000 afghans applied through a process called humanitarian parole. the process requires filling out piles of paperwork, months of waiting and it's expensive. almost $600 per person. in contrast, the documents showed after russia invaded ukraine. the u.s. created a special process for ukrainians which can be filed online for free. a san jose legal non-profit center wants to highlight the unequal systems and to see some change here. >> i hope it's nothing that's intentional. that is something that they realize, ok, well, was actually working well for for ukraine. we can maybe a clear and quite a similar program looked identical, bu similar program for so we're just hoping that in the next few weeks or months, we will have some change in the way afghans are being taken out of afghanistan and pulled into the mix is. >> the report uncovered government records showing only 123 afghan humanitarian parole applicants were approved between july 2021. and may of this year while 68,000 ukrainian applicants were approved. timing shortages are everywhere these days, including the u.s. army's. so getting soldiers ready has been an uphill battle reporter pup paula froelich reports on the army's new program to train recruits. >> the united states army faces one of its biggest challenges ever on it. one of the worst recruiting shortfalls, possibly the worst since it went volunteer in many young people who want to enlist aren't eligible because they aren't passing basic physical and education tests or have criminal records. only 23% of americans age 17 to 24 meet the army's requirements we get an all-time low. the result the army's recruited barely half just 52% of its target for the current fiscal year. that's where the future soldier preparatory course comes in. it's a unique pilot program starting this week where workers can not only take advantage of an historic $50,000 signing bonus, but get paid to get in shape physically and mentally. i joined the inaugural class of 250 recruits for the fiscal fitness portion of the prep course at fort jackson near columbia, south carolina. these would be soldiers have up to 90 days to drop up to 6% of their body. that meet the other basic requirements for boot.

this new grant will empower california's future workforce. we're learning more about the pandemic's impact on businesses and how some may have taken advantage of the federal assistance programs. reporter rich mchugh has that story. >> when ordinary americans were struggling during the pandemic and small businesses were closing by the thousands. the government doled out 11.4, 7 million paycheck protection program loans or ppp, billions of dollars to companies in need. the folks in congress who wrote the bill to establish ppp and send the money out to businesses. the main goal was just to send people money to keep them employed. but millions and millions and millions also went to companies owned by the uber rich in celebs like kanye west, khloe kardashian, jared kushner, the overriding lesson that i've taken away from this data is the government really wanted to put a lot of money out into the economy and get into the hands of people. derek willis with pro publica collected the data into a database to search every single ppp loan that was given out. and as a result of that, they designed a program that made it easy to apply for relatively speaking and easy to get money and easy to get forgiven. for instance, kanye west company yeezy got 2.3 million in change. khloe kardashians company. good american llc received 1.2 million in change businesses related to jared kushner and donald trump took it over. 25 ppp loans worth more than 3.6, 5 million. the list goes on. but the kicker. >> most of the loans have been forgiven. walk me through how this why they would even eat given these loans and whether it be forgiven. but the short answer is they were eligible to be given these loans and because the eligibility requirements were not very strict. kanye west was native billionaire by at the same time that you he was out taking ppp loans. carol roth, author of the war on small business. it just goes to show you that there are winners and losers in central planning and the wealthy and the well connected or taking care of at the expense of those who are not in march. president biden in the state of the union made this vow. we're going to go after criminals who stole billions of relief money meant for small business and millions of americans. and earlier this month he signed a bill giving the justice department more latitude to investigate people accused of fraudulently collecting these loans. the structuring on ppp was really flawed from the start. the reality, according to roth, is that the super-wealthy were well within their rights in taking these loans. even if you are wealthy, because that was the way that it was structured by the government's you got a free pass. this is all shocking informations people, including myself. what this is all legal, this was league. is that right? yes, this is entirely legal for almost all of them. there are certainly some companies are part of the fraudulent taking on of the ppp. but for most people who are the wealthy and the well connected who at plea, we may not think i'm really needed that loan. they were just following the rules and regulations in the way that they were put forth. so, you know, at the bleed, maybe it wasn't a great decision on their part. but the blame really resides here with the government. >> i was rich mchugh reporting for us. turn things over to the forecast as we are taking a live look outside this time at the san francisco embarcadero. and we're talking about the weekend. of course, we are seeing some beautiful temperatures out there. so if you
