1600 pennsylvania avenue. The powerful wisconsin congressman and the architect to repeal and replace obama care in a final Oval Office Meeting with President Trump. The most troubling the worse is yet to come with obama care. I have been saying for the last yearandahalf, that the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obama care explode and it is exploding right now. Democrats publicly pulling for the bill and in the end getting their wish. Today is a great day is a victory. It is a victory for the american people. White House Press Secretary sean spicer telling reporters today no matter the outcome, the president left everything on the field. In washington joe walman. Fox news. Bay area congressman eric swizel had more to say. What we have heard is that young people were going to suffer tremendously under this with the surcharges in having a lapse in coverage and this economy so unstable to have 30 surcharge over their head creates so much financial distress for them. And Hillary Clinton responded on twitter saying today was a victory for all americans and a victory for anyone that believes that Affordable Health care is a human right. Brian sobel has more. The republicans control the house and how big is this for them. It is a big defeat for speaker of the house paul rye and then the president. The president did not get this through for lack of trying. It came down to different factions within the Republican Party. The freedom caucus. What effect will this have towards tax reform . We will see. Tax reform is considered a little bit more of a low hanging fruit. Many more republicans are concerned with that. The socalled freedom caucus, 29 members of congress didnt think it went far enough. And it didnt deal with things like tort reform and all of these other things. Democrats to declare a victory are missing the point. This was a republican, inside republican loss because donald trump could not get part of the Republican Party to vote for Something Like this. Brian, donald trump came in and said im a winner, i am the person that can close the deal but he has had health care and travel ban and mexico to pay for the border wall. Would this defeat today start to change the perception of whether he is looked at as someone that can win and close the deal . I think what is happening he is learning to be a president. This is a person that comes from another environment and didnt understand how politics work and now he has learned there is a General Branch that he cant have the travel order and now he is learn that congress has a say in things. And so to the extent that he has learned from this. It could help him. Yes, going forward. In the wake of what what happened there are calls for a healthier paul ryan to step down. Do you think that could happen . I dont think it will happen but a shot that you deposit handle this well. His arithmetic was not good. You dop go into a vote being down 5 and what we are hearing out of washington and still think you can bring it to the floor and pull that out of fire. They should have withdrawn it and saved for another day. One thing was interesting President Trump said i learned a lot about royalty. That was the one line that jumped out. Clearly he thought people were not loyal and it is like he was saying taking names. We will have a lot to talk about more coming up later. Absolutely. Brian, thank you. Thank you. If you would like to watch President Trumps full response to the bill being pulled we have it on kutv. Com. Learning more about the suspect in a quadruple homicide and the victims.

Not extreme heavy rain but still enough to complicate the commute for sunnyville and santa clara and mill pee das and towards portions of sonoma county. A little rain and another system by sunday. Weaker winds will talk about that coming up. Lets take another look at current traffic conditions in the bay. You can see this slow going on the bay bridge.

Ktvu Tara Moriarty joins us now. After the record rainfall totals we have had so far todays wet weather didnt seem to phase many people in San Francisco. Not in the slightest. We had some light showers this morning and then it sort of peeked around noon or onish. It is Crystal Clear. Many folks thought the rain was welcome because it does continue to take the edge off of the drought. They said they are ready for sunshine. Fridays are the most popular days at San Franciscos city hall for weddings. Say cheese. The drizzle couldnt dampen the spirit of those taking the plunge.

Photographers are on tarps for the creative angles and one bride wore sneakers. Where are you going on your honey moon. Not decided yet. Somewhere where it is not raining . Yes.

James job is to make sure that the wet weather doesnt slow down the muni service. Wet weather can create problems for muni operators. It can get complicated with the rain. There is steel rail against steel wheels. It doesnt stop the rubber tires. Most San Franciscoians shrugged off the showers. What i like most it has puddles to splash in. And with galoshes who could blame that little girl . Now we do want to mention that we will get a break tomorrow and as mark mentioned another system rolling through on sunday. I do want to mention that a lot sporting events canceled because of the drenched fields. Live in San Francisco, Tara Moriarty, fox 2 news.

The Water Reservoir has gone down but it is really enough . We will answer the question next. Ktvu fox 2 news, frank somerville, complete bay area coverage. Todays storms caused problems in the north bay. Green valley road was flooded. Some people tried to drive through the Rushing Water and others put on boots and waded across the roadway. Sonoma valley lists green valley road closed and to no word when it will reopen. The south bay people have seen their share of weather problems in the past couple of months. They got rain but not too heavy. Jesse gary traveled to the anderson dam to check on the conditions. What is the water level and did todays rain affect it. The water level has dropped dramatically since we did a broadcast six weeks ago. You can take a peek at seeing where the old water level used to be. Kind of below the treeline and where it is now and you can see the spill way there. That is where the water was rushing over and no more. Right now the capacity is at 85 and it could go up in the 90s if we get special rain the rest of today and over the weekend. Its has been a good year. It could stop raining and we would have a good water supply this year. Officials with the santa clear Water District indicating the 3200 gallons per second. The flow is rushing into coyote creek and this time the amount of water is manageable because it is not going over the spill way and causing flooding down the creek. We checked in with city officials of san jose to say the light rain in the south bay is not creating flood concerns or downed tree business an santa jose responded to the tree limbs that have come down due to high wind gusts. The water level is down from one hundred percent capacity to 84 with the goal of getting it down to 68 percent. At the worst rain over the next several days could push the numbers in the 90s. We have quite a bit of space there now with the dry weather we have had since mid february. We have released water to a point that we are at eight percent five percent of capacity. So that leaves quite a bit of room to capture the rain from the storms this week. And marty grimes with the district says we have received more than enough rain and that people should practice conservation and good habits since you dont know what next winter will bring. We got kind of literally drowning in our own good fortune this year but dont know what will happen next year. Keep doing what you are doing. For today. It didnt rain much and as i started to talk, the light drizzle started to intensify. And the hide and seek game still continuing. It is just about to start drizzle but for the most part the storm is over. Winding down after 6 or 7 00 tonight and that will set the stage for a break as we head into your saturday. Good news if you want to go outside for tomorrow. A cool side but at least not talking about heavy downpours as we head to your saturday forecast. On the satellite and radar.

The station has almost 2100 Parking Spaces but the monthly reserving slots were sold out long ago on the very same day they were offered to the public. Given the difficulty of acquiring land and the complex system. Warm springs the gateway to silicon is a tower physically and financially. Bart expects 7000 rider to use the station and that will increase into crowding because the nimitz free way is jammed for every commute.
