>>> EVENING IS FRIDAY AUGUST 20th, THANKS FOR JOINING US.

IT IS A TOUGH DECISION.

THE ORDER TO KEEP THE BORDER" SPELL THE END IN THE SOUTH BAY FOR STORRS.

WITH SOME SAY COULD BE THE FINAL FLOW TO MORE BUSINESS.

>> Reporter: THE LARGEST LAND BORDER CROSSING IN THE WORLD.

THE FOURTH BUSIEST IN TERMS OF DAILY CROSSINGS, A HUGE ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR BOTH THE SAN DIEGO AND BAJA CALIFORNIA REGIONS.

THE GOVERNMENT CLOSED THE BORDER TO ALL NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL MARCH 2020 AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC.

THE CLOSURE HAS BEEN EXTENDED MONTH BY MONTH SINCE THEN.

>> HAVING IT CLOSE ANOTHER MONTH IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

>> Reporter: BACK IN JUNE, THE IMPERIAL BEACH MAYOR JOINED OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS AT A NEWS CONFERENCE PLEADING WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO REOPEN THE BORDER.

HE SAYS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BORDER REASON TO KEEP IT CLOSE TO ALL TRAVEL EXCEPT THAT DEEMED ESSENTIAL.

THERE IS AN EASY WAY TO SAFELY REOPEN.

>> I THINK IF YOU WANT TO CROSS THE BORDER YOU HAVE TO BE VACCINATED LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES.

LET'S DO THAT, RIGHT?

I THINK IT'S FINE.

>> Reporter: THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE CONTINUED CLOSURE CAME FROM A TWEET FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

IT CITES THE CONTINUED SPREAD OF COVID-19 INCLUDING THE DELTA VARIANT AS THE REASON FOR THE EXTENDED RESTRICTIONS.

>> 200 BUSINESSES ALREADY CLOSED PERMANENTLY.

THEY ATTRIBUTE THIS SPECIFICALLY TO THE RESTRICTIONS.

>> Reporter: SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF INTERNATIONAL IT IS AFFAIRS FOR THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

SHE POINTS TO THE FACT VACCINATION RATES IN HALF, CALIFORNIA ARE AT LEAST AS HIGH AS THE SAN DIEGO REGION.

PLUS, PEOPLE FOR MEXICO CAN STILL FLY INTO THE U.S.

WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS.

THE MAYOR WORRIES PARTIALLY CLOSED BORDERS ARE NOW THE STATUS QUO.

>> THIS COULD BE PERMANENCE.

WE WOULD HATE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ENDLESS EXCUSES.

>> Reporter: AS WE HEAD INTO FALL, IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHEN THE BORDER WILL REOPEN TO EVERYONE.

WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THE LONGER THINGS STAY AS THEY ARE NOW, THE MORE PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL BE DONE.

>>> AT TIMES, ISSUES SURROUNDING THE PANDEMIC HAVE LED TO PUBLIC OUTCRY IN THE FORM OF RALLIES AND VERBAL DISAGREEMENTS.

AS MELISSA MAY SHOWS US, WHAT HAPPENED AT THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS MEETING RAISE NOT ONLY TEMPERS, BUT I BROWSE.

>> YOU NEED TO KNOW WE ARE COMING FOR YOU TOO.

SPECKS SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING THIS WEEK HAD STRONG FEELINGS A LOT TO SAY, INCLUDING THREATS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS.

WENT TO SOMEONE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH CROSS THE LINE INTO A THREAT THAT COULD LEAD THEM IN LEGAL TROUBLE?

>> YOU GENERAL RULE IS THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS A RIGHT TO SPEAK HOWEVER WE WISH.

BUT, THERE ARE CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF SPEECH EXCLUDED FROM THAT.

ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES IS TRUE THREATS.

>> Reporter: A FIRST AMENDMENT ATTORNEY SAYS A TRUE THREATS CAN BE A SPOKEN OR WRITTEN STATEMENT THREATENED DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

>> YEAH CHILDREN AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN WILL BE SUBJUGATED.

>> Reporter: SCHOOL ACTION IS REQUIRED.

>> THE PERSON WHO MAKES THE THREAT HAS TO INTEND THE VICTIM TAKE THE THREAT SERIOUSLY AND THE VICTIM HAS TO ACTUALLY AND REASONABLY TAKE THE THREAT SERIOUSLY.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE SPOKE AT THE MEETING AND EACH SPEAKER WAS GIVEN TWO MINUTES, PUBLIC COMMENT AS REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

>> YOU ARE ABOUT TO OPEN A PIT OF [ NULL ].

>> Reporter: DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CIVIL?

>> CIVILITY IS UPHOLDING THE SOCIAL CONTRACT.

YOU HAVE RIGHTS, I HAVE RIGHTS.

I WILL RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS AND WE'LL TAKE IT TO A THIRD-PARTY WE PICK AND WE WILL ADHERE TO WHAT THEY RULE.

>> Reporter: THE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE FOR CIVIL CIVIC ENGAGEMENT BELIEVES THE PANDEMIC HAS INFLUENCED OUR BEHAVIOR.

>> GO POUND SAND.

>> I DID THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS GOING THROUGH PTSD BECAUSE OF COVID.

AS WE RUN BACK OUT INTO THE WORLD WE FORGOT ALL THE STUFF FIRST GRADE TEACHERS AND KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS TAUGHT US ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH EACH OTHER NICELY.

YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO OTHERS YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO SAY TO YOU.

>> WE ARE COMING AFTER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

>> Reporter: WITH THE TREND OF SPEECH AND BEHAVIOR COULD CONTINUE UNLESS SCHOOLS BEGIN TO TEACH CIVILITY.

>> GIVE STUDENTS THE TOOLS THEY NEED WHEN THEY RUN INTO PEOPLE THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH THEY AT LEAST HAVE A CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE OR AT LEAST NOT DESTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

>> PLEASE TAKE A SEAT.

>> IF YOU HAVE BEEN THREATENED AND FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE OR PHYSICAL SAFETY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE POLICE.

MELISSA MAY, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE WANT TO REMIND YOU ABOUT THE TRACKING COVID-19 SECTION OF KPBS.ORG .

THAT IS ALL WE HAVE LOCAL REPORTING WITH THE LATEST NUMBERS AND STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

YOU CAN FIND THE LINK RIGHT ON OUR HOMEPAGE.

>>> IT IS BEING CALLED A HISTORIC INFO STRUCTURE PROJECT AND ONE THAT COULD HELP END OUR DESIRE FOR WATER EVEN IN NON- DROUGHT YEARS.

HERE IS MORE.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SAYS THE PURE WATER PROJECT WILL DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE NEED FOR IMPORTED WATER.

>> SAN DIEGO IMPORTS 8590% OF WATER, THE COLORADO RIVER INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: THE PROJECT GUARANTEES SAN DIEGO AS A LOCAL WATER SOURCE USING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE PURIFIED RECYCLED WATER.

>> MORE THAN 50,000 WATER QUALITY TESTS HAVE CONFIRMED THE WATER IS SAFE AND IT NEEDS ALL FEDERAL AND STATE DRINKING WATER STANDARDS.

>> THE SWEEPING DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND WATER SHORTAGES ACROSS THE STATE HAS THE PROJECT SUSTAINING THE CITY WATER NEEDS FOR DECADES TO COME.

>> WE KNOW YOUR WATER WILL PROVIDE NEARLY HALF OF THE SAN DIEGO DRINKING WATER SUPPLY BY THE YEAR 2035.

>> Reporter: THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATOR AND FORMER CITY COUNCILMEMBER TONI ATKINS HAS BEEN WORKING TO DEVELOP THE PURE WATER PROJECT AND HELPED SECURE $50 MILLION IN THE STATE BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT ALTHOUGH IT IS A SMALL CHUNK OF THE MONEY ALLOCATED, SHE KNOWS FIRSTHAND THE NEED FOR WATER.

AS A KID WHO GREW UP IN RURAL SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA IN A HOUSE WITH NO RUNNING WATER, I HAVE TO SAY, WE CARRIED WATER FROM A SPRING.

>> Reporter: THE PURE WATER INCLUDES THE FACILITY AND PUMP STATION.

THEN AIR SAID THOUSANDS OF LOCAL JOBS WOULD BE CREATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT LIE AHEAD.

>>> A GROUP OF RESIDENTS IN NORTH COUNTY ARE CALLING FOR ACTION TO REDUCE THE DANGERS OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO SPEEDING.

THEY ARE CALLING FOR CALM IN A WAY OF NEW STOP SIGNS.

>> Reporter: THIS IS FOOTHILL AND BEVERLY DRIVE.

RECENTLY THERE WAS A PETITION TO INSTALL A FOUR WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AFTER RESIDENTS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC SAFETY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> HE LIVED IN THE SECTION ONLY A YEAR AND ALREADY HE HAS SEEN HIS FAIR SHARE OF ACCIDENTS.

>> WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS, PEDESTRIAN HIT.

I WAS HOME AND RENDERED AID, DIALED 91.

MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS ON THE BEVERLY SITE.

>> THE NEIGHBOR ALSO KNOWS THE DANGER OF THE INTERSECTION.

HE STARTED A PETITION FOR THE STOP SIGN AFTER BEING IN AN ACCIDENT HIMSELF.

>> APRIL 15th I WAS HIT BY A CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY.

OVER 4000 CARS A DAY GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND AS YOU SAW IN THE PRESENTATION, MOST OF THOSE ARE AN AVERAGE OF 39 MILES AN HOUR IN THE 35 MILLION HOURS.

>> Reporter: HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, THERE WERE SIX ACCIDENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION.

RESIDENCE COMPLAINED TO THE CITY BEFORE, ASKING FOR A STOP SIGN BUT THE CITY TRAFFIC STUDY CONCLUDED THE INTERSECTION DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR A STOP SIGN.

>> THEY UPDATED THE PROGRAM AND ADDED STOP SIGNS AS A TOOL FOR SPEED REDUCTION.

WHERE RESIDENTS CAN PETITION THE CITY AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL RESIDENTS CAN HAVE A STOP SIGN INSTALLED FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING SPEEDS.

>> Reporter: IF THEY HAD NOT FILED THE PETITION, HE WOULD HAVE.

FOOTHILL DRIVE HAS BECOME A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE THROUGH THE AREA.

>> I WAS GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE BRING THIS UP TO CITY COUNCIL.

WE WERE HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY PEOPLE DRIVING WELL ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT.

CRESTING THE HILL AND US NOT HAVING A CHANCE TO REACT.

IT WAS A WELCOME OPENING TO US.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE PETITION AUGUST 10.

IT WILL COST THE CITY $150.

>>> PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ARE OUTRAGED BECAUSE THE DUMBER CITY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN ACTION THAT COULD SHUT DOWN THE WINSTON SCHOOL NEXT YEAR.

IT IS USED BY STUDENTS LEARNING DIFFERENCES FOR CROSSING SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE NEW EDUCATION REPORTER HAS THE STORY FROM DELMAR.

>> Reporter: THE 19-YEAR-OLD IS A SINGER WITH BIG DREAMS.

HE IS WORKING ON A COLLEGE DEGREE IN THE ARTS AND GRATEFUL FOR THE EDUCATION THAT BROUGHT HIM CONFIDENCE AND HOPE.

>> THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS JUST LIKE ME WHO NEED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND GET AN EDUCATION.

>> Reporter: ROBERT IS A GRADUATE OF THE WINSTON SCHOOL, NONPUBLIC, NONPROFIT SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES.

NESTLED ON A HILLSIDE WITH AN OCEAN VIEW IN DELMAR.

SINCE 1988, THE SCHOOL REPORTED CHILDREN WHO STRUGGLE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

MANY LIVING WITH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL DISABILITIES.

>> STRUGGLING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WITH A LOT OF THE KIDS HERE.

THE SCHOOL ACCOMMODATES THEM AND MAKES THEM SUCCESSFUL.

GIVES THEM A STRONG ACADEMIC EDUCATION.

>> THE SAFE HAVEN FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IS A DANGER OF BEING CLOSED BECAUSE OF A COMPLICATED JOINT LAND PURCHASE AND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF DELMAR.

THE LEASE REQUIRED THE WINSTON SCHOOL TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH A PROPERTY AND A PROCESS STARTING IN 2019.

THE COVID PANDEMIC CRISIS SHUTDOWN CAUSED NUMEROUS DELAYS AND MISSED COMMUNICATIONS.

THE FINAL EXTENSION DEADLINE WAS JULY 23rd.

>> JULY 23rd CAME AND WENT.

WINSTON STILL DID NOT SUBMIT THE COMPLETE PLAN.

IT WAS STILL MISSING TO THE ELEMENTS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAID HAD TO HAPPEN.

WE HAD NO CHOICE.

TO DO WITH THE NEXT STEP WAS.

THAT WAS TO TERMINATE THE LEASE.

>> LAST WEEK THE DUMBER CITY COUNCIL MET IN A VIRTUAL SPECIAL CLOSE SESSION TO DECIDE THE FATE OF THE LEASE.

AFTER LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR OF DISCUSSION, IN COMMENTS FROM ONLY ONE CITIZEN WHOSE MIND UP TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF HONORING THE SCHOOLS LEASE.

THE COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO TERMINATE IT.

SPECTRUM REALLY CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF STUDENT LIES.

WE HELP KIDS SEE THEIR DREAMS.

TO BE ABLE TO GO ON FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES.

WHERE THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN LOST.

WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS REALLY WELL OVER 30 YEARS.

>> WE KNOW FOR SURE IS THE DELMAR ZONING LAWS AND A CRITICAL PROVISION IN THE LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENT REQUIRES THIS PROPERTY CAN ONLY BE USED AS A SCHOOL AND NOTHING ELSE.

ACCORDING TO THE MAYOR, THE CITY HAS NO PLANS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE WINSTON SCHOOL LEASE RUNS OUT IN 2023.

>> MAYBE THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ALL OF US.

COMMUNICATIONS AND HOW WE ARE HAVING THEM HAVE NOT GONE WELL.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, I DO NOT KNOW.

THERE ARE MANY DECISIONS AND MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS.

>> Reporter: ROBERT DESMOND HOLDS ON TO HIS HOPE.

>>>, GAVIN NEWSOM IS ABOUT TO GET HIGH PROFILE HELP ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL?

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS VISITING THE BAY AREA NEXT FRIDAY, AUGUST 27th FOR A PUBLIC EVENT SUPPORTING THIS IT.

RECENT POLLING SHOWS THE RECALL EFFORTS IS NO WORD IF JOE BIDEN WILL MAKE A CAMPAIGN STOP FOR NEWS.

>>> DISINTEGRATED OFFICE SAYS IT IS ALREADY RECEIVING 406 2000 ELLIS LOCALLY AND IF CALIFORNIA GETS A NEW GOVERNOR NEXT MONTH, MIGHT BE A TALK RADIO HOST WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT.

THE SPOTLIGHT IS SHINING ON LARRY ELDER AND HIS PAST CONTROVERSIES.

>> THERE IS NO QUESTION.

>> Reporter: THE CALIFORNIA GREGORIO CANDIDATE LARRY ELDER WILL NOT STOP TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OUTSIDE HIS PUBLIC RALLY.

WHAT HE PREFERS?

THE PREPARED STAGE AND, FANS.

ELDER IS THE LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN THE RECALL ELECTION OF GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM.

>> THE MAN I WILL DEFEAT NUMBER 14 -- >> Reporter: A TRUMP SUPPORTER AND RADIO TALKSHOW HOST IS PART OF THE ACE.

>> LARRY ELDER IS THE ONE THAT CAN SAVE US.

>> MOMENTUM IS GOING WITH THE REPUBLICANS HOPEFULLY.

>> Reporter: A FIRST-TIME CANDIDATE, HE NEVER HAS HELD OFFICE, BETTER KNOWN FOR INFLAMMATORY TAKE NO PRISONER TALK AND CONSERVATIVE RADIO.

HIS SHARPEST COMMENTS ARE ON RACE AND GENDER.

>> I ARGUE THE WELFARE STATE HAS INCENTIVIZE WOMEN TO MARRY THE GOVERNMENT.

>> I FELT MINORITIES IN WOMEN COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT RACISM AND SEXISM.

>> Reporter: HE WROTE THIS EDITORIAL WRITING WOMEN NO LESS ABOUT CLINICAL ISSUES, ECONOMICS AND CURRENT EVENTS ADDING THE LESS ONE KNOWS, THE EASIER THE MANIPULATION.

ELDER TWEETED IN 2016, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MATERNITY LEAVE.

JUST THIS WEEK HE SAID EMPLOYERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK WOMEN IF THEY PLAN ON GETTING PREGNANT.

>> I BELIEVE THAT A FEMALE EMPLOYEE COULD ASK QUESTIONS OF A FEMALE EMPLOYEE OR MALE EMPLOYEE ON WHERE IT IMPACTS THEIR BEING ABLE TO WORK A 40 HOUR WEEK FULL-TIME.

>> Reporter: THIS WAS A POSITION IN 2008 -- >> GLOBAL WARMING IS A CROCK.

>> Reporter: IT EVOLVED FROM MAN MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN CLIMATE CHANGE ELDER SPENT YEARS ONLINE PROMOTING GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH.

HE ALSO POSTED A 10 STEP PLAN TO FIX AMERICA INCLUDING ABOLISH THE IRS, LIMITED CORPORATE TAXES, TAKE GOVERNMENT OUT OF EDUCATION ARGUING IT SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

LEGALIZE DRUGS AND, ABOLISH THE MINIMUM WAGE.

THAT POSITION HAS NOT CHANGED.

ELDER TWEETED THIS MONTH THE IDEAL WAGE IS ZERO.

ONE POSITION SHIFTING THIS MONTH, WHO WON THE 2020 ELECTION.

>> I BELIEVE JOE BIDEN WON THE ELECTION.

>> Reporter: JUST TWO WEEKS LATER AFTER BLOWBACK FROM THE TRUMP BUSINESS.

>> TO I BELIEVE HE WON THE ELECTION FAIR AND SQUARE?

NO I DO NOT.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

>> THE FLIP-FLOP IS NOT SITTING WELL WITH TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

>> I AM ANSWERING THE QUESTION.

>> Reporter: HE DID NOT WANT TO TALK TO US ABOUT IT EITHER.

>> THERE WAS THE SECOND TO LAST QUESTION.

>> ONE OF THE YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT ELSE I TALK ABOUT.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS?

>> Reporter: HE DID NOT STICK AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO ASK.

>>> NEW NUMBERS SHOW HOW THE WORKFORCE IS RECOVERING FROM THE PANDEMIC OF THE STATE REPORTS THE LOCAL AND PLANET RATE WAS SIX BY 9% IN JULY COMPARED TO 12% A YEAR AGO.

LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY JOBS MADE THE BIGGEST GAINS, SAN DIEGO IS A FULL POINTS BETTER THAN THE JOBLESS RATES OF OVER 7%.

>>> ONE PLACE WHERE JOBS ARE AVAILABLE IS THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY.

ONE OF SAN DIEGO'S BIGGEST CARRIERS IS TRYING TO SWEETEN THE POTS.

>> THE AIRLINES ARE IN TROUBLE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE PANDEMIC WITH AIR TRAVEL DECLINE 95%.

THEY WERE ASKING WORKERS LAST FALL TO TAKE EARLY RETIREMENT PACKAGES, UNPAID LEAVE, SO, THEY KIND OF SHRUNK THE LABOR FORCE.

WHETHER IT IS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS OR CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY ARE HAVING THE HOURS LONG WAITS ON THE PHONE.

THIS IS ALL OF THE LINES, NOT JUST SOUTHWEST.

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS INCENTIVIZED EMPLOYEES ALREADY.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO ACTUALLY GIVE A REFERRAL BONUS OF $300 TO EMPLOYEES.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WHAT WE WILL SEE ACROSS THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY IS AFTER THE SUMMER AND, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, LEISURE TRAVEL WILL DECLINE AND SOME OF THE PRESSURE WILL COME OFF.

THE BIG UNKNOWN FOR ALL OF THE AIRLINES IS TO KEEP LOOKING AT BUSINESS TRAVELERS.

AND THE BUSINESS TRAVEL SEGMENT COMING BACK IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

OTHERWISE IT'S HARDER TO PREDICT.

>>> PRETTY DRY QUIET TIMES AHEAD AS WE HAD THROUGH THE SUMMER WEEKEND.

REALLY IT IS LOOKING PRETTY NICE AND GUESS WHAT?

SLIGHTLY WARMER INTO NEXT WEEK.

NOT A LOT CHANGE.

WE TURNED OFF THE MONSOON MOISTURE.

THAT IS GOOD FOR US.

TONIGHT, WE ARE FAIRLY QUIET OUT THERE.

A FEW MORE RAIN CLOUDS STICKING AROUND, 74 THE LOW, 66 OCEANSIDE.

AS WE HEAD TOWARDS MY LAGUNA, WE ARE IN THE UPPER 50s.

FUTURECAST SHOWING OTHER THAN THE COASTAL CLOUDS, THERE IS REALLY NOTHING GOING ON ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

EVERYTHING IS QUIET OUT THERE.

PRETTY QUIET FOR BASICALLY MONSOON SEASON WHICH DOES NOT HAVE MUCH MOISTURE ASSOCIATE WITH IT.

SHUT OFF EVEN THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A FEW SPIDEY THUNDERSTORMS OUT THERE THAT COULD VENTURE INTO THE END OF THE WEEKEND FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO BUT FAR AWAY FROM US.

SO, OUR STORY REALLY IS DRY FOR TOMORROW.

OTHER THAN THE COASTAL CLOUDS THAT WILL BE OUT IN THE MORNING, 75 IS THE HIGH FOR THE AFTERNOON.

AS YOU LOOK AROUND THE REGION, YOU CAN SEE MOST OF A SINGING OUT IN THE 60s, 70s, OR, HOLDING ONTO THE UPPER 90s.

THE FORECAST, THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS SHOWING WE TREND IN THE 70s TOWARDS THE COASTS.

ACTUALLY, WE GET A LITTLE BIT WARMER IN THE NEXT OF THE WEEK CLOSER TO 80 DEGREES.

MOST OF IS HANGING OUT IN THE MID-70s TOWARDS THE COAST WITH LOW CLOUDS GIVING WAY TO MORE SUNSHINE.

AND LINED, MID 70s TWO UPPER 70s.

WE WILL BE BACK INTO THE MID- 80s AND LOWER 90s BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE NEXT WORKWEEK.

THAT IS THE WARMING TREND I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE BEGINNING THAT WILL CONTINUE FOR THE MOUNTAINS TOO AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK IN THE MID-70s AND THAT IS AFTER WE ARE CLOSE TO 70 DEGREES FOR THE HIGH.

DESERT LOCATIONS STILL HOLDING ONTO THE 90s.

THAT WILL CHANGE BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS WE GET WARMER IN THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO PRIDE AT THE PARK IS AT PETCO PARK.

THE EVENT WAS CANCELED LAST YEAR DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

IT IS BACK TONIGHT AS THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

ALONG WITH THE SPECIAL TAILGATE PARTY, ATTENDEES GET COMMEMORATIVE SOUVENIRS AND PROCEEDS GO TO THE PRIDE YEAR- ROUND EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY PROGRAMS.

WITHIN REASON.

MY LIMITS ARE NOT QUITE THERE ANYMORE.

>> DRAG FOR ME ON A PERSONAL LEVEL IS AN EXTENSION OF WHAT I AM FEELING INSIDE, SO, YOU KNOW, IT USUALLY IS VERY COLORFUL AND VERY OVER-THE-TOP.

>> THE COOL PART ABOUT DRAKE TOO AS I FEEL IT IS A BIT OF A REVENGE ON MY CHILDHOOD .

A GETS TO DO ALL THE STUFF I WISH I COULD HAVE DONE AS A KID.

>> I NEEDED TO MAKE SOME MONEY QUICK AND WAS NEVER GOOD AT BEING A HOOKER SO I WAS A CIGARETTE GIRL.

I WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

I PAY MY OWN BILLS THREE YEARS THEN WAS HIRED FOR DRAG QUEENS.

>> Reporter: DRAG IS ACCOMMODATION OF ART AND ACTIVES IT.

HE ALSO WANTS TO BE THE PART INVOLVED IN HELPING.

>> DRAG IS JUST AN ADDED TOOL TO GET MORE ATTENTION.

THAT IS WHY IT LOOKS LIKE A CAUSE BECAUSE WE WILL PEOPLE OUT VISUALLY STIMULATED.

>> Reporter: D THERE.

THE STUDIO DOOR EXHIBIT PROVES IT WITH NOT JUST SPECTACULAR COSTUMES ON DISPLAY BUT ALSO VISUAL ART AND PAINTERS LIKE A SERIES OF TREY QUINN PORTRAITS LINE A WALLET TOGETHER.

>> THIS IS NOT MY PERSONAL NARRATIVE BUT WHEN I GREATLY ADMIRE.

I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE COME TO IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND HONESTLY OUR ARTIST THAT CARRY THAT AROUND THE WORLD.

I HIDE BEHIND MY PAINTINGS.

>> THE STUDIO DOOR OWNER SAYS ACTIVISM AND DRY QUEENS GO HAND- IN-HAND WHICH IS WHY ANOTHER SAN DIEGO DRAG ICON WORKED TO CREATE THE EVENT SATURDAY AS MORE THAN JUST A RECEPTION FOR THE EXHIBIT.

>> PART OF THAT IS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR TWO GREAT FOOD CHARITIES.

THE EMERGENCY PROGRAM AND TUESDAY.

>> Reporter: THE OWNER WAS MISTREATING AN EMPLOYEE YEARS AGO.

>> I PARADED AROUND THE QUARTER THREE DAYS NONSTOP WITH A BEEHIVE AND A BIG 76 BALL ON TOP OF MIGHT BEEHIVE.

ACTIVISM IS ALWAYS A BIG PART OF WHAT I DO.

>> Reporter: HUMOR ALWAYS HELPS.

>> IT BREAKS DOWN BARRIERS.

I THINK THE SHINE CATCHES THEM WITH THE COLOR CATCHING THEM OFF GUARD.

THE HUMOR BREAKS DOWN THE BARRIERS IN-BETWEEN.

>> Reporter: BARRIERS COMING TO IN PART THANKS TO THE FLAMBOYANT FUN OF DRAG QUEENS.

FUND FUELED BY A SENSE OF RESISTANCE TO CONFORMING TO ANYONE'S NORMS AND CREATIVITY TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF ANYTHING.
