Tonight. Reporter it is still scorching lehigh. Our temperature our thermometer says 100 degrees. I will step out the ways you can see. The Fire Department said this blaze even though it is black and hillsides is not growing. It is not spreading. The bad news is apparently one firefighter did suffer from the heat and had to be taken to the hospital. Even without the fire bellowing like a furnace in their faces this will be a taxing battle for firefighters. Triple digit temperatures at 50 pounds of heavy equipment. All taking a toll. They are wearing the boots the jacket the pants the helmet. And then on top of that they will carry a bundle of holes that has 200 foot length of inch and a half holes. All told that is 50 pounds of gear. But it broke out on the lunch hour and raced up these dry brown hillsides. Reporter the battle was waged apart from the air. That left dozens of firefighters braving the fast moving flames and choking smoke back on the ground. They are doing heavy physical

San mateo bridge from faster city to hayward, the closure there causes you to have to get off the freeway, perhaps at industrial boulevard. Take it up and take 80 north or industrial parkway to get to 880 south. Thats the easiest way right now. Surface street traffic is building as we get cars from the anyone else side. Here, south 680 may have cleared. I see recovery for the sensors. A spinout there and live look for the dublin area. Wet roads coming through out of the altamont. The wet roads are an issue.

Is allowing anyone to purchase a firearm who is prohibited under current law or regulations. I want that to be very clear. I want it to be very clear right after the bat so that no one misinterprets this as some effort to let people own firearms who would normally be prohibited. This legislation is needed because a very disturbing trend has occurred in the past decade share the glory with someoneade else and we think theres good in legislation and every piece of legislation has hat the Veterans Administrations relying are way back if the 1970s.

You will be part of really making this nation that great again but as great as it can become and the continued pursuit of greatness. Id like to thank mark mario, all of our panelists, sponsors and you for attending the morning session. Lets not leave this discussion in the room but take it to the power and use it for the greater good of our brothers and sisters who are disproportionately and adversely affected by the criminal Justice System. President obama pledged more than two hundred inmates a few days ago and most of them were black or brown. He understands the system as it is now working but hes on his way out. We must continue his momentum to right the wrongs that created this lopsided Justice System in the first place. Get ready. This is going to be a bumpy ride no matter who succeed. With that i bid you all audios and pleas enjoy the remainder of your day. I hope to see you all tonight at the gala and see you in the trenches when the convention is over, thank you. [applause]. T
