>> things like our body worn camera program, our community- lead partnership around cease fire. our effort to combat implicit bias as well as our transparent and open data. >> oakland city council member larry reid called it a, quote, sad day for the city. he said he spoke with the chief about his resignation. >> when i talked to the chief, the chief is very hurt. andings certainly someone that i have respected and admired. i've been around here for a long time, chief hart, all the others in between. this chief was getting us into compliance with the negotiated settlement agreement. if i was the chief, why would i resign? i don't think she's being forthright when she said the chief resigned. >> reid would not speculate on why he thinks whent stepped down. ben farrow will serve as interim chief. he's got more than 20 years experience with opd and said that he will, quote, hit the ground running. the city said it will begin a national search for a new chief. >> henry lee joins us. this comes around so much controversy surrounding opd. we have the allegations of sexual misconduct. a federal monitor has been watching them for years. what is going on? >> is i learned the internal affairs probe into the misconduct involving opd officers off-duty was removed from internal affairs and given to the federal monitor, robert war saw. when warsaw started digging, heads started to roll. one was investigate for attempted sexual assault. his next target was chief whent. initially, warsaw had big praise, but because of all these cases warsaw didn't think the top cop was moving fast enough. >> so the mayor is saying that he resigned, but calling this a resignation, not a firing what. are we hearing from other sources? >> multiple sources within the department telling us that indeed chief whent was told, you better resigned or be fired. so big pressure for him. he has moved a lot toward reforming the department. but a lot of people are saying, you know what, with all these off-duty misconduct cases, the writing was on the wall, he had to go. >> we just found out that violent crime is down in oakland 39%. homicides in oakland this year alone down 49% what. are members of the force saying tonight about him being forced out, as you say, or resigning? >> no crime stats, good or bad, will completely replace the fact that with all the attention on misconduct what they're trying to do, the morale is already down because they're understaffed. with all these officers being accused of misconduct, i've talked to officers today. they don't want these bad apples on the force. but a lot of attention placed on all the misconduct certainly takes away from what they're trying to do. crime reduction, build the trust of the community. >> you have two big cities in the bay area, after chief suhr in san francisco. the interim chief was a former high ranking chief in bart? >> he comes from the bart police department but did he spend 21 years with oakland police department. >> so he's familiar with opd. >> he knows the community. he says he wants to hit the ground running and use forward momentum to bring oakland police into further compliance with the settlement agreement. i have known him since he was a patrol sergeant. he seems solid. there are some officers who are also very leery about him simply because he has also worked in internal affairs. as far as farrow is concerned, he wants to move this department in a forward direction. >> so why did this happen this way? oakland's police department has been under the microscope since that rough riders case back in 2000. that's what really started the federal monitoring. this has been going on for so long. so much suspicion in the city. why would the mayor not just come out and say that she asked for his resignation? why would she take this line making it look like it is his choice that she had very little to do with it? >> i think she just wanted to help the chief save face. those two go way back. but we also note that ben farrow, the new top cop, and the mayor also go way back. so speculation, could farrow win the top job permanently. the big question who will lead the department permanently. >> if that person will be the change, or do we need to look further. >> it's almost like he could be the me sigh i can't. it's all up to you. >> like the buck stops with you sort of thing. >> all the yours you've been covering oakland do you think this is going to make a difference? >> i've seen four or five, six chiefs come and go and you know what, some of those chiefs have complained about interference from city hall. others are saying, you know what, you can't let me do my job, why bother. the rank and file are just doing their job day in and day ?iew. henry lee, thank you. we'll watch you all night long in the rest of your reports. our other top story, newly released court documents in the stanford sexual assault case are raising new questions about brock turner's behavior before the night of the assault. the documents include evidence prosecutors claim contradicted turner's statement that the sexual assault happened partially as a result of his inexperience with the party culture in college. the documents include photos. you are looking at some of them here from turner's cell phone of what appear to be his friends and -- he and his friends smoking marijuana. they also include text messages of turner talking about drug use and drinking while he was still in high school. this is back in ohio. prosecutors submitted these materials when they asked for a stiffer sentence saying the findings show that turner had lied about his drug and alcohol abuse. >> at the same time the push to recall the job in that case is now growing. the change.org petition has been making the rounds on-line. tom vacar is live in the newsroom with the story of one million signatures that they've collected calling for this judge to be taken off the bench. >> reporter: a big number of signatures but it has no real legal force. but the anger nonetheless is palpable, and the pressure is mounting on the judge who says was simply acting within the legal guidelines when he sentenced this former stanford university sexual offender to what may end up beg just a 90- day jail sentence. they came to the san francisco state building today to present to the state council on judicial performance a petition bearing a million signatures including those of 11 state lawmakers. they demand the counsel investigate and discipline santa clara county judge aaron persky for giving a convicted sex offender a six-month jail sentence instead of many years. >> it says, if you are raped on a college campus in california, you are on your own. and to potential perpetrators, it says, don't worry, we have your back. >> the victim of another rape stood with the activists urging more people to get involved. >> i am really upset about this lenient sentence because i am basically sentenced to life as a survivor of this. >> reporter: the activists say they will also collect signatures and file a formal recall petition in santa clara for judge per ski's recall -- for judge persky's recall. >> because of the young survivor of a horrific attack who only wanted justice. >> reporter: while the state does have limited powers, the long process of recall may come about sooner. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. >> it is not just change.org. we know that's just more emotional plea. but moveon.org, the white house, the we the people site, each of those has 100,000 signatures. so what do you think it will take or will this even matter? >> reporter: the only signatures that will do this are the required legally obtained signatures in santa clara county where this judge was elected just last -- i think tuesday, unopposed. now, if they get enough signatures and these groups say they are going to do that, and then they put it on the ballot, then the voters of santa clara county and only of santa clara county will get to decide the fate of this particular judge who does have all kinds of pr problems, to say the least. we witnessed some of that in court today. but the pact of the matter is the only signatures that count are the ones insanta clara county from legal voters. >> tom, this whole story has exploded across the entire country over the entire country, even the vice president weighing in. i understand now that the judge is actually having trouble assembling juries in his own courtroom. that's a huge problem for him. >> reporter: going back to my law school days, as a trial lawyer, either on either -- on either side, you have what are called challenges. one is a pre-empt tori challenge -- one is a pre- emptory challenge. the other is called a challenge for cause. that means the person has said something or indicated something that allows the court to simply dismiss that juror, and in this case, many people said they didn't like the judge and what the judge did and all that, and many of them were dismissed. this is a real serious problem for this judge because it goes to the very heart of his ability to serve as a judge. >> you have to wonder, tom, what will it take and would it take anything to just get him to step down on his own. >> i am absolutely sure that he has thought about that. >> right. >> but, you know, he was just elected unopposed. so he's got a number of years ahead of him. it's expwierl up to him what he does. but it's up to the voters to decide if he doesn't decide to leave that they can make him leave. but they may not do that. this is a very difficult thing to do because many people do support judges, even ones that make very questionable decisions. >> tom vacar, live in the newsroom, thanks. another sports ledge handy died. hockey great gordie howe has passed away. known as "mr. hockey" he led the detroit red wings to four stanley cup championships. he played 26 seasons in the nhl including one final season when he was 51 years old. he is ranked second all-time with 801 career goals. last year it was announced that a new bridge being built over the detroit river between michigan and canada there will now be named after howe. emotional tributes today from fans, world leaders, and family members as muhammad ali, the three-time heavyweight champion and the most celebrated boxer in u.s. history was laid to rest. >> muhammad indicated that when the end came for him, he wanted us to use his life and his death as a teaching moment for young people, for his country, and for the world. in effect, he wanted to us remind people who are suffering that he had seen the face of injustice thearks grew up in a segregation, and that during his early life he was not pree to be who he wanted to be. but he never became imbittered enough to quit or to engage in violence. >> 15,000 people filled the stadium for a public celebration held in ali's hometown of louisville, kentucky, including the king of jordan and former president bill clinton. his wife spoke, including rasheda who invoked the quote, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. shy once said, i know where i'm going and i know the truth, and i don't have to be what you want me to be. i'm free to be who i am. now you are free to be with your creator. we love so you much, daddy. until we meet again, fly, butterfly, fly. >> so touching to watch that this afternoon. in keeping with muslim tradition, muhammad ali's headstone simply says, ali. >> what a touching tribute. 15,000 people right there watching millions upon millions of people watching around the entire globe. a great testament to a great life. >> it absolutely was, ross, and it was a combination of emotion but also humor. >> all right. well, coming up, it was rough go in game three so can the warriors take down the cavs tonight in cleveland? our joe fonzi is live with details next. the weekend forecast is coming up right after the break. we're talking about temperatures that i think you are going to like. >> let's take a look at traffic. 680 through sunol is sluggish northbound. it is friday afternoon. 4:14. we'll be right back. it is a great time for bay area sports. joe fonzi is on the road. lucky guy. >> he is very lucky. in cleveland wednesday when the warriors lost to the cavs, he then drove to pittsburgh for the sharks and penguins. he is back on the road this morning. >> returning for game four. joe, i've got to ask you, which warriors are we getting? are we going to get the warriors that we know and love or the warriors that lost the last game? what do you think? >> reporter: they better hope that we see the ones that we saw at home, not the ones we saw on wednesday night. you guys are right. these are unpress department times in -- unprecedented times in bay area sports. it's the first time we've had our basketball team and our hockey team in their respective championships. that required a little travel for us. both of them beg in driving distance. but this basketball series is about two of the most iconic players in the game. lebron james and steph curry. we took a side trip on our road trip yesterday to akron because, being mvps isn't the only thing that those two players have in common. on december 30th, 1984, lebron ramon james was born in the akron city hospital. 39 months later, march 14th, 1988, wardel stephen curry was born at that same hospital. no one could have possibly known at the time that those two babies would one day grow up to combine for six nba most valuable player awards. >> some would say it's -- that the odds are against us. i would say it's magical and it speaks to who we are in akron, ohio. we're all-stars. didn't you know that this is the center of the universe? these players were born here. some raised here longer than others. some returned to us. >> the folks in the hospital no doubt a little more aware of the two most famous athletes born there. but the curry connection is a little more obscure for the people on the street. steph was born during the time his dad spent just one of his 16 nba seasons in cleveland. >> the hospital is very famous for a couple of reasons. can you think of why? >> probably where lebron was born and that little dweeb on the warriors. he's like always chewing on his mouthpiece. >> steph curry. >> how did you know that? >> because i'm a basketball fan. >> lebron james! >> first one that comes to your mind. >> lebron james. >> and? >> there isn't anyone more famous than that. >> steph curry? >> who's that? >> i guess it's a good thing for cleveland. for people who are fans, you can't be wrong if the cavs don't win a championship this year. >> is it lebron james? >> yes. >> and also, which is crazy, another most valuable player. >> irving? >> how about for the golden state warriors? >> oh, stephen curry. he is from akron, that's correct. >> reporter: the folks in akron very proud of their roots. in fact, they call it akron- born. we were driving through the rust belt which doesn't really resemble much of what it was during the prime of the steel producing years, but they do make a lot of rish still in akron. this is an interesting promotion that they're doing there. the goodyear company, to babies that are born during this playoff, to the families, they get a free set of tires. they get something they call a onesy, that shirt that babies wear, and a baby-sit. so if you're expecting in akron this is the time to have your baby. now let's shift to hockey. we drove to pittsburgh. there was a huge contingent of people there hoping that the penguins would wrap up the stanley cup. the sharks were facing elimination, and largely due to the efforts of their goalie, martin jones. they held the penguins off for another game, wing 4-2. 44 saves for jones. he was the big reason why the sharks won that game. >> it felt good tonight. i thought our d did a good job in front of the net, and then we got a few bounces. so it was a combination of things. >> unbelievable. he's been doing it all year. he does it every game. he's just a stud for us. >> he was great. he made some big-time saves. he's been playing like this for a long time. regular season, playoffs. a lot of people p unfortunately don't get to see him, us being on the west coast, but he's been unbelievable for us. >> reporter: so back to these unprecedented times, the sharks will play a game six back at home on sunday. another elimination game for them. the warriors playing a game four here. they will be back home for a game five for sure on monday. they would love to win tonight and then get a chance to wrap things up at home on monday. who knows what. we do know is sports is very important in the bay area these days. the other thing, guys, you know the relationship that los angeles and san francisco kind of have with each other with their sports teams, very much the same with cleveland and pittsburgh. we experienced that. when they want people to boo here in the stadium, when the warriors are shooting a free throw, they flash a picture of steelers quarterback ben roethlisberger up on the scoreboard, and they get the entire intended result. the whole place intos like crazy. that's the relationship between cleveland and pittsburgh. >> nice, joe. all right, joe fonzi, we will be paying close attention. >> thanks, joe. the founder of the harborside medical marijuana dispensary in oakland spent six hours on the witness stand this week. >> the federal case embroiled them with the irs and the nation's largest dispensary that will affect all of the rest of them. "the four on 2" will be right back. ♪ ♪ it is flash back friday. mike mibach is off today, but he is getting very close to turning 40 so we've got a bit of a tribute for him. >> how close can you get before you're actually 40? >> he's about 10 minutes away. >> no, a few more days. >> here's a look at the headlines ktvu was covering during his first week on the job in 2005. t.k. tv u -- ktvu reporter mike mibach joins us now. >> police are investigating what is their 21st homicide of the year, one they say is family related. >> the 43 yearly was transported to san francisco general where she was pronounced dead. the suspect, her own stepson was asking to see his two-year- old daughter before the shooting. >> emotions neared the boiling point as convicted killer scott peterson was formally sentenced to death by lethal injection. >> the judge asked peterson's hopes of life in prison without parole when he said he fully supported the death penalty verdict. laci's family members spoke. his brother called scott a coward, a phony, and a loser. laci's brother delivered the most compelling statements calling her former son-in-law a heartless baby killer with no soul. then she said, i hope you burn in hell for all eternity. >> the superior court judge has ruled state law limiting marriage to a man and a woman sun unconstitutional. >> same-sex couples that filed the suit demanding the right to marry greeted today's ruling as the equivalent to the historic california supreme court ruling almost 60 is years ago that allowed -- almost 60 years ago that allowed blacks to mary whites. opponents called the ruling an appalling abuse of power, and they vowed to appeal it to the state supreme court, the u.s. supreme court if necessary. >> hundreds if not thousands of people from the sunset district to here in downtown gathering tonight for a little st. patty's celebration. >> the first thing over here, it's my first time. >> he's visiting san francisco where he brings his irish song to ireland 32. >> when you're irish and you hear music, you've got to either sing or dance. >> i love that. mike mibach from 10, 11 years ago. >> i think he looks as youthful now as back then. >> i can see a little bit of a difference. i love it. >> a little more confident. >> happy birthday, mike. enjoy your time off. >> well deserved. coming up, new court documents are revealing the argument made to a judge to hand down a harsher sentence in that brock turner case. we're going to explain what prosecutors say should have been considered and ask our legal analyst about the ongoing fallout of the stanford sex assault case. stay with us. new court documents shed new white on the stanford sex assault case. >> the documents surround turner's assertion about his inexperience with the party culture of college. now we are learning there was contradictory evidence from turner's own phone with photographs -- or photographs that apparently show friends smoking what looks like marijuana, also text messages talking about drug use and drinking. this is while he was still in high school in ohio. >> prosecutors submitted these materials when they asked for that stiffer sentence saying recommendation by the probation department didn't fit the crime. the judge in the case, aaron persky, did not comment before issuing his now controversial six-month sentence. prosecutors have asked for a six-year prison sentence. it's our topic for today's issue of "the verdict." we're joined by legal analyst michael cardoza. >> i'm doing well. >> what do you think of this new evidence that's come to light? the judge apparently knew about all this, right? but he still gave a sentence he gave. do you think he made a mistake? >> did he make a mistake? yes. i mean, bottom line, looking at it from my perspective, ex district attorney, now defense attorney, six months, at first blush, do i agree with it? no. but i also don't agree with what people are doing now to try to get him recalled and off the bench, because that sends a horrible message, and i've actually seen it in court now a little bit where judges are afraid to show any empathy or sympathy towards people for fear of being removed. >> michael, when you say you don't like what people are doing, you're talking about these petitions, or the death threats? >> yes. >> you're saying even these petitions, because what's the recourse for judges who are making what many would feel is a wrong call? >> all right, let's assume it was a wrong call. i think we should look at his body of work as a judge. not one time he makes a decision in a case, because i honestly believe, i've but in court in front of him. i know a lot of attorneys that very much respect him. so assuming he made a bad call, do we remove him from the bench for what he thought was the right thing to do? he didn't abuse his discretion. he may have made a bad call. and now we have, what, 400,000 people signing petitions. i'm telling you, it will have a chilling effect on the bench. >> more than a million people in one petition. the only one that mat, 400,000. let's talk about the call itself. there's a kid in court that sort of portrays himself as someone who couldn't get used to this whole college party scene that he was in some respect some kind of innocent. now the photos come out of what appears to be his friends smoking what looks like marijuana, text messages that he may have done drugs, like lsd, wanted to do ecstasy. so was that just -- does it make it more obvious that this was a bad call? what's your opinion on that? >> well, when i see that, it certainly -- it should have affected the judge's sentence, but it didn't. he took that into consideration. and that's why nothing now can be done about this sentence that i know of. that six months is going to stand. the victim in the case, i remember readying her letter, and she talked about the people's lives inextricably changed, being herself and turner. now you can add a third, and that's the judge. now, my prediction of what's going to happen here because of what's going on this judge is going to within a week or two, i think, he is going to step forward and he is going to tell us all, aim done, i'm going to retire. that's just my guess. because as you've said, death threats against the family, his picture is out there. we all know what he looks like. can you imagine going to the grocery store and having to run into people, and the abuse he has to take? so he's going to -- i'm sure he's doing a lot of counseling with his wife, with his family. i'm sure there are a lot of tears there. but i think eventually he is going to say, enough, i'm stepping down, i'm not going to put everybody through. this. >> okay, so michael, let's say he doesn't step down. you've got to wonder what the rest of his career like. but what does this whole discussion, national, nationwide what did it say to other judges and other defendants? >> it says exactly what i think it is. don't make a decision of giving too much leniency to someone. air on the more draconian side. put out stiffer sentences. and that's why i don't like it. i think a lot of people don't know that federal judges are appoint for life. they don't have to run for election. state judges have to run for election. i think it's every six years. so one of the questions this begs is, should we make our state judges for life so they're not subjected to these type of things. but again, we then to have live with this. >> is it subjective to the opinions of the public? isn't that what we want, our judges to be held accountable to the public? >> it is, but i have a problem with people that don't totally understand the case. and knee-jerk to the emotionally. i.e., the jury the other day. a juror stood up on a new case and said, i am not going to sit as a gur roirn your case. we can't have in that our criminal justice system. >> michael cardoza, thank you so much. >> take care. >> we'll see you soon. >> sounds good. in other news we're following, just one day after she lamb boosted donald trump, you've got massachusetts senator elizabeth warren paid a visit to hillary clinton's home. she was sparking speculation that warren could possibly be tapped as a running mate for the presumptive democratic presidential nominee. now, warren endorsed clinton for president. that was just yesterday, saying, quote, she would work my heart out for clinton. she also called donald trump a total disgrace and a fraud what serves no one but himself. president obama, vice president joe biden, they have also now come out to endorse hillary clinton. >> isn't amazing how quickly the democratic party seems to have come together and simultaneously the republican party once again seems in disarray. just two days ago it was the op. >> i almost on the democratic side, it looks like bernie sanders will fall into step, but we've still got to wait until the d.c. primary. so it seems like maybe after then we'll see if he goes to july. but i know you follow this very closely. how is this going to work out with twitter? you have seen elizabeth warren and donald trump go back and forth on twitter, hillary clinton. are we going to have a campaign on twitter? >> it's all about twitter, social media, the president announcing his endorsement on twitter. that's what it's all about. it doesn't seem to be the case any longer that the money to finance your campaigns is as important, because now you can use social media. >> you can do it for free. >> we'll follow it. coming up, gawker media files for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the wake of a costly court decision. how the lawsuit with pro wrestler hulk hogan turned into a business killer. tracking the weekend forecast. i'll let you know what to expect for barbecues this weekend. a live look in our backyard. jack london square. a watch party for tonight's warriors game hosted by the "keep warriors in oakland" group. game four against the cavs. . harborside health is the nation's largest medical marijuana dispensary. it is you know the middle of a legal battle with the feds. this week its founder spent some six hours on the witness stand in a federal courtroom. the irs says harborside owes the federal government an additional $2.4 million in taxes. harborside says it has paid what it owes ?oocht we're joined by the ceo of harborside, steve de angelo. thanks for joining us. of course his lead attorney. before we start we did want to let you know that we reached out to the irs and invited them to come participate. they would not and did not want to comment or provide any statement at all sow. guys are in court right now, right? >> that's right. >> this is really round two because you won back in 2010, is that correct? >> we just won a fight that the department of justice started with us un2012. we're still fighting the irs who is trying to tax us out of existence. >> they're actually prosecuting a law that applies to cocaine runners. >> this provision of the irs, code 280-e, was passed after a cocaine smuggler tried to deduct his i couldn't tells and money that he paid in bribes and weapons as business expenses. >> henry, explain to us the basis of your case, the basis of your argument. the federal government saying, uh-uh, you still owe us some $2 million, bur saying what? >> we're saying that the section of the internal revenue code that they are applying, section 280-e, was never meant to apply to state authorized cannabis dispensaries. it was directed at a street drug dealer. it was passed in 1992. that was 14 years before prop 215 passed in california, along with the compassionate use act. this is not the way that congress intended it to be applied. and the author of the bill, pete stark, has said that, but the irs says they're going to continue to enforce it until congress changes the law. >> they actually came to you, asked for your tax records. they said they were fine, right? and then they applied this law to you and now say you owe $2.4 million, something like that. why are they going after you like this? you feel they're just really trying to get rid of you and this is the only way they can figure out? >> look this is just one more backward-looking attempt by the federal government to stop a change that we all know the time has come for it. it's inevident afternoon. but we do have people who are trying to resist it, no matter what the scientific evidence. >> take us there. six hours on the witness stand. what were some of the questions? what did you talk about for six is hours? >> well, it was really one of the best experiences of my life, because i was working with my incredibly talented attorney, henry wykowski. we've been waiting six years for our opportunity to tell our side of the story, about why it's completely unfair. we made our case that we just want to be treated like every other american business. we're not asking for any special treatment. we just want fairness and equity. >> what do you think? what do you realistically think your chances are? do you think you are going to win? do you think this is going to change this type of prosecution for everyone across the country? >> well, we always go into court with the expectation and intention of winning. as to our chances, i'll let henry talk about that. >> i think our chances are excellent. i think that we put on all of the evidence that we wanted to, to get in. i think that the judge is fair and has an open mind. and i think when he looks at the law, he will agree with our position. >> help, i'm sorry, even with the resolution of this case, let's say you guys have proved your case, the judge agrees, it's all good, but there's still this gray area. i feel like this is going to continue to happen until either the law is changed or the federal government and states get on the same page. >> once again, harborside has taken the lead on behalf of the industry to try to eradicate the use of 280-e. our first argument is that harbor side's business does more than just sell a controlled substance. they provide wellness services, community service, community activism, and all of that takes them into a different parameter where this law should not apply. if we win on that issue we win for the entire industry. >> you are the largest in the industry, right? >> we are said to be the largest in the industry. the triis growing really fast right now. >> does it cost you a lot of money? can you recover that money if you are victorious? how hard has it been for you financially? >> it's been challenging both financially, because we've had a very, very talented legal team who has had to be working on this case over a period of six years. sosks the legal fees are substantial. but even more than that has been the psychological torture really that my staff and my patients have been put through. not knowing whether they're going to have jobs next year or next week, not knowing whether they're going to have a safe place to get the medicine that their doctors have recommended. it's really way pastime for the federal government to get with the program to get with what the voters of this country have already made manifesting clear that they want and understand that cannabis is a valuable medicine. >> steve deangelo, owner of harborside, and henry, lead attorney, thank you. >> we'll talk to you when it's all done. >> thank you. a beautiful day outside. a little windy out there. >> a little bit, but it's feeling more like spring and less like surges mr. chief bill martin. >> you guys just look out the window and make that forecast? >> basically. >> you look behind you and go, it's a little windy, a little wet. >> a little sun, a little clouds. >> i know how you guys roll. listen, the weekend is here. it's going to be a good one. last couple of days, actually this last week it's been kind of cool. last week, the week prior, we had record warmth. now we've cooled down, only to begin to warm up now temperatures as we get into the bay area weekend are going to come up a few degrees. in the hills of the north bay and in parts of the valley, i'll show you, there's a red flag warning for saturday and sunday. not so much for temperature but for higher elevations. we're looking for significant winds over 30, 35 miles per hour out of the north. those are high clouds that are going to slide through. current temperature 73 in fairfield, 74 in concord. these numbers are a little warmer overall. fairfield is a little cooler but napa and santa rosa are a little warmer. so we've been splitting hairs all week, because the marine lay hear been deeper. but this weekend, the marine lay ser is going to go squish, and when it squishes down, we know that the high pressure is up there and we know that the winds are going to start to go northeast. that's why the weather service has issued this red flag warning for saturday morning through sunday night in the hills of the north bay and up towards fairfield and vacaville, which is not you know common this time of year. it's a low-grade red flag warning. it's not coming with 105-degree temperatures and 8% humidity, but it has broken -- just cracked the threshold of what it takes to get a red flag warning. again, low grade, but it's still in effect, mainly for the hills of the north and parts of the valley. napa tomorrow, look at the warmth tomorrow. just 80s. still warmer than today. so highs tomorrow, we'll get you an upper 80 in fairfield, 90 in antioch. right on the edges of our valleys upper 80s and low 90s. the five-day forecast, heck, ross, why don't you guys just look out the window. >> that looks about accurate. >> what am i even doing? you guys just look out the window. looks like sunday will be slightly warmer than saturday, but your bay area weekend looks pretty darn good? big plans? >> mom is in town. >> gonna make her cook for you? >> probably. >> i've got big plans to be in the station all weekend. >> oh, ross, i'm sorry. that's okay. >> no, he's not coming. >> all right, bill martin. >> see you guys in a little bit. netflix is the perfect product for binge watching, but it turns out some shows are more binge worthy than others. that story coming up when the "four" gets social. time to get social. we're going to talk about stories making news. >> gawker media has now filed for bankruptcy protection. >> here's what happened. it was in march. a jury awarded former pro wrestler hulk hogan some $140 million. you have heard this case. the finding is against gawker for posting a video of the hulk having sex. gawker's downfall can be attributed to paypal's contributor who helped fund the case. gawker in financial trouble. >> that's really disturbing because it doesn't really matter whether gawker was right or wrong. the court case basically says it was wrong and awarded him the settlement. the thing that is so disturbing to so many people is a billionaire being able to basically put a large media company out of business just because of the money and be able to finance that lawsuit. >> but you've got to believe other celebrities could be thankful for it in the terms of privacy, right. don't just put things out there. there could be severe consequences. >> they may have been wrong, but the fact that this one guy -- >> i hear exactly what you're saying. so no secret that netflix and others have changed the way we watch tv. >> there's a new term called binge watching. >> guilty. >> today netflix released a new list of its most binge watched shows. the company found that horror and thriller shows such as the walking dead and american horror story were the most binged. viewers also binged irreverent comedies such as orange is the new black. but viewers took their time with more complex narrative such as the political drama house of cards and the drama "mad men." i don't know if i fit that mold because house of cards is the one thing that i binge watched because they released it all in one day. >> "the four on 2" will be right back. stay with us. hi. is the internet still out?
