>> AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU!

THANK YOU!

>> IT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR DRIVERS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN SAN DIEGO.

AND SPENDING IS UP.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DEFENSE SPENDING.

KPBS MILITARY REPORTER BREAKS DOWN THE NUMBERS IN THE NEW REPORT AND IMPACT ON OUR REGION.

>> ALMOST 20,000 NEW JOBS IN SAN DIEGO THIS YEAR CAN BE TRACED TO DEFENSE CONTRACTS.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE ANNUAL SAN DIEGO MILITARY ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT.

THE REPORT COMES FROM THE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AT UC SAN DIEGO.

IT'S SPONSORED BY THE SAN DIEGO MILITARY ADVISORY COUNCIL.

A NON-PROFIT THAT PROMOTES BENEFITS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE REGION.

MEYERS, THE SAN DIEGO PROFESSOR THAT LEADS THE TEAM BEHIND THE REPORT SAYS MORE THAN 4 YEARS AFTER THE PANDEMIC DISRUPTION, 2024 SHOWS A READJUSTMENT.

>> THIS REPRESENTS A SOLID RETURN TO A PATTERN OF NORMAL FOR US.

>> HE SAID THAT MEANS MUCH LESS EMERGENCY SPENDING.

INSTEAD MUCH OF THE MORE THAN 40 BILLION DOLLARS SPENT IN SAN DIEGO IS ON THINGS LIKE MAINTENANCE ON MILITARY BASES.

THAT IS THE INCREASE OF ALMOST 4 BILLION FROM LAST YEAR.

THE REPORT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS SAEGZ AS THE HUB FOR DEFENSE, INDUSTRY AND START UPS.

SPECIFICALLY DRONE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEMOCRAT SARAH JACOBS SITS ON THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE IN CONGRESS.

SHE SAID SHE'S GLAD TO SEE THAT PART OF SAN DIEGO HIGHLIGHTED IN THE REPORT.

>> SAN DIEGO IS REALLY AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION IN THE DEFENSE SECTOR AND I THINK IT IS ONLY BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANT.

>> SHE AND HER COLLEAGUES DECIDES WHERE THE MILITARY SPENDS ITS MONEY.

SHE SAID THIS YEAR SHE HELPED GET A LARGE PAY RAISE IN THE BILL FOR SERVICE MEMBERS.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I'M EXCITE INDEED THIS YEAR'S NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT IS WE WERE ABLE TO GET A 12% PAY INCREASE FOR ENLISTED SERVICE MEMBERS.

THIS IS TO HELP CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN ENLISTED SERVICE MEMBERS AND OFFICERS.

>> ONE NOTABLE ABSENCE IS THE CEO REAR ADMIRAL MARK PALMER.

PALMER STEPPED DOWN FROM THE JOB EARLIER THIS YEAR.

HE DIED LAST MONTH.

PALMER WAS A FIXTURE IN THE MILITARY COMMUNITY AND SOMEONE WHOSE VOICE YOU HEARD ON KPBS IN THE LAST 6 YEARS.

ANDREW BYER, KPBS NEWS.

>> TECHNICIANS AND HOUSE KEEPING AND FOOD SERVICE WORKERS WILL GET A MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE.

DEMARCO AIMS TO REDUCE TURN OVER, IMPROVE SHORTAGES AND PATIENT CARE.

>> LAST OCTOBER GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED A LAW RAISING PAY FOR THE LOWEST PAID HEALTH CARE WORKERS TO $25 AN HOUR.

THE TIMELINE VARIES BY THE TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT AND SIZE.

THE LAW COVERS ALL CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL STAFF SUPPORTING PATIENT CARE.

>> SO THIS LAW AFFECTS HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND MOST HEALTH CARE INDUSTRIES LIKE HOSPITALS.

PHYSICIANS.

OFFICES.

CLINICS, HOME HEALTH AGENCIES.

>> SHE IS ONE OF THE OFFICERS OF THE UC BERKELEY LABOR CENTER REPORT THAT SHOWS 3 OUT OF 4 WORKERS BENEFITS FROM SENATE BILL 525 ARE WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR.

AND NEARLY HALF ARE LATINO.

SHE SAYS THE LAW IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON PUBLIC AID.

>> WE ESTIMATE NEARLY HALF OF LOW WAGE HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY NET PROGRAM OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ENROLLED WHICH JUST UNDERSCORES HOW LOW SOME OF THESE WAGES HAVE BEEN.

>> RESEARCHERS SAY PART OF WHAT THE WAGE INCREASE IS TRYING TO ADDRESS IS FUTURE HEALTH CARE NEEDS.

>> WE HAVE TO BUILD IN INFRASTRUCTURE NOW TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE ARE NURSES AIDS AND HOME HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND THE VARIOUS PEOPLE THAT HELPED TAKE CARE OF THE ELDERLY AND THAT IS GOING TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM AS BABY BOOMERS GET OLDER AND RETIRE.

>> RESEARCH LINKS HIGHER PAY, LOWER TURN OVER AND BETTER STAFFING LEVELS TO IMPROVED PATIENT CARE.

UCSAN DIEGO POLITICAL ECONOMIST JOHN ALQUEST SAID IT WILL TAKE TIME TO SEE THE IMPACT.

>> I DOUBT YOU'LL SEE IMMEDIATE CHANGES IN THE QUALITY OF CARE OR ACCESSIBILITY TO DOCTORS OR NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS.

>> HE SAID THERE WAS CONFUSION AND SOME PROVIDED RAISED BY THE JUNE 1ST DEADLINE AND SOME WILL START TODAY.

HEIDI DEMARCO, KPS NEWS.

>> HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

I AM TRACKING LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND SUNNY AFTERNOONS FOR US WITH WARM HIGHS BUT SOME COOL LOWS.

IN FACT SOME AREAS CAN SEE THE COOLEST WEATHER WE SAW SO FAR THIS SEASON AND AFTER THAT TRACKING THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN.

THE CHANCE IS LOW BUT IT IS THERE.

I'LL DETAIL THAT COMING UP.

>> THE OPERATOR OF THE SOUTH BAY INTERNATIONAL WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS RESPONDING TO THE LAWSUIT FROM RESIDENTS.

THEY CLAIM THE WATER IN NORTH AMERICA HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT RESULTS IN A BILLION GALLONS OF RAW SEWAGE IN THE PACIFIC THE LAST FIE YEARS.

IT CALLS FOR UNSPECIFIED COMPENSATION FOR THE RESIDENTS.

TODAY THEY RESPONDED SAYING THE ALLEGATIONS ARE MERITLESS AND HAS DONE ITS BEST TO OPERATE THE PLANT IN THE FACE OF INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE COMPANY ALSO SAYS THE ODORS ARE CAUSED BY UNCONTROLLED SEWAGE FLOWS FROM TAIWANA AND MUCH OF THAT SEWAGE NEVER EVEN ENTERS THE PLANT.

>>> KPS' SCOTT ROSS TDS THE COUNCIL RESTRICTED A SET OF RULES PUT FORWARD BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

>> THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO HAS DOZENS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS MADE UP OF VOLUNTEER MEMBERS.

THEY PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON A RANGE OF TOPICS FROM POLICING TO HOUSING TO HISTORICAL BUILDINGS.

THE NEW CODE OF CONDUCT PROMOTES BEING RESPECTFUL AND PROFESSIONAL.

THE MAYOR'S OFFICE DRAFTED THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE INITIAL PROPOSAL WOULD HAVE PROHIBITED MEMBERS FROM PUBLICLY CRITICIZING CITY EMPLOYEES.

THEYULS WANTED TO HAVE PRIOR REVIEW OF THE BOARD MEMBERS' COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PRESS.

THEY STRUCK DOWN THE PROPOSALS FOLLOWING REPORTING FROM KPS.

HERE'S RIVERA.

>> WE HEARD NUFP ENOUGH THEY WERE FEARFUL THEY WERE GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS.

>> THE AMENDMENTS CAME AS A RELIEF TO KELLY LYNDON WHO SERVES ON THE CLIMATE ADVISORY BOARD.

>> I THINK IT STRIKES A GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN SETTING EXPECTATIONS FOR THOSE WHO ARE SERVING ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WITH THE FREEDOM TO ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC.

>> BOARDS ARE EXPECTED TO ENFORCE THE NEW CODE OF CONDUCT.

SCOTT ROSS, KPS NEWS.

>> THE DECISION TO OVERTURN ROE V. WADE MAY BE A PRELUDE TO WHAT'S IN STORE FOR WOMENS' AUTONOMY.

THIS REPORT SAYS IF THE RIGHT WING POLICY XWEN AS AGENDA 2025 IS IMPLEMENTED, WOMEN WITHS RIGHTS COULD BE ROLLED BACK MORE THAN A CENTURY.

>> PROJECT 2025 WAS CRAFTED BY THE CONSERVATIVE THINK TANK, THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION, REVIVING THE 1873 LAW CALLED THE COMSTOCK ACT.

IT BANS MAILING ITEMS THAT COULD BE USED FOR AN ABORTION.

THE UC PROFESSOR SPECIALIZES IN REPRODUCTION AND SAID BECAUSE ALL ABORTIONS INVOLVE THE MAIL, THIS WOULD AMOUNT TO INSTITUTING A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN.

SHE ADDS THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S AT STAKE BECAUSE THEY STILL BELIEVE THAT EXTREME OUTCOMES ARE UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN.

>> IT WAS TRUE WITH THE OVERRULING OF ROE V. WADE.

THE OTHER THING I THINK PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS KIND OF OUTCOME COULD BE ENGINEERED WITHOUT CONGRESS OR VOTERS AND REQUIRE CONTROL OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND FEDERAL COURTS AND THAT SEEMS ACHIEVABLE EVEN IF AMERICAN VOTERS DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN.

>> THE ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL IN JUNE FOUND 70% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL.

ZEIGLER SAID SHE'S UNCERTAIN ABOUT WHAT A CHALLENGE TO THE COMSTOCK ACT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

>> WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE TRY TO ENFORCE A 19TH CENTURY CRIMINAL LAW IN THE PRESENT DAY.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY'D BE OR HOW DETERMINED THEY WOULD BE TO ENFORCE IT BUT IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME THEY WOULD BE SERIOUS AND HARD TO IMAGINE FROM WHERE WE STAND NOW.

>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP DENIED HE'LL INSTALL THE LAW IF WINS.

THEY FOUND 140 PEOPLE HELPED WRITE THE PLAN WHO WORKED IN THE FIRST ADMINISTRATION.

KPS NEWS.

>> THE HEALTH FOUNDATION IS A BIG ROLE IN RENT CONTROL AND OTHER VALID MEASURES.

THEY WANT TO STOP IT WITH THIS MEASURE BEFORE VOTERS.

BEN CHRISTOPHER EXPLAINS PROP 34.

>> THERE IS A PROP ON THIS YEAR'S BALLOT TO DO WITH SPENDING RESTRICTIONS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND SOMETHING CALLED THE 340 B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM, BUT, REALLY, IT IS ALL ABOUT THIS GUY.

LET ME EXPLAIN.

I'M BEN CHRISTOPHER, HOUSING REPORT OF CAL MATTERS AND THIS IS PROP 34 IN A MINUTE.

THE HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST USERS OF THE FEDERAL DISCOUNT DRUG PROGRAM THAT GIVES CHEAPER MEDICINE TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS THAT SERVE LOW INCOME PATIENTS.

ED THE CEO IS MICHAEL WEINSTEIN.

HE'S FAMOUS IN THE CALIFORNIA POLITICAL CIRCLES BUT NOT BECAUSE OF HEALTH CARE.

HE BANQUE ROLLED 3 STATEWIDE CAMPAIGNS TO REMOVE RENT CONTROL AND OTHER CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES.

ALL THIS MADE WEINSTEIN A POLITICAL ENEMY OF THE STATE'S LANDLORD LAW AND NOW PROP 34.

IT SAYS IF YOU'RE A HEALTH PROVIDER USING THIS FEDERAL DISCOUNT PROGRAM AND YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON NON-MEDICAL THINGS AND OWN A LOT OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND HAVE A BUNCH OF CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS, THEN YOU HAVE TO SPEND ALMOST ALL OF YOUR MONEY PROVIDING HEALTH CARE.

AS FAR AS ANYONE CAN TELL, IT WOULD ONLY APPLY TO WEINSTEIN'S ORGANIZATION.

THEY SAY DISCOUNTS MEANT TO FUND HEALTH CARE FOR POOR PEOPLE SHOULD BE USED FOR THAT AND NOT UN-RELATED POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS.

THEY SAY IT IS JUST A POLITICAL VENDETTA.

VOTE YES IF YOU WANT PROVIDERS TO SPEND MONEY DIRECTLY ON PATIENT CARE AND NO IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.

TO LEARN EVERYTHING ON THE 2024 BALLOT, GO TO CAL MATTERS.ORG I'M BEN CHRISTOPHER.

>> AND FOR THE INFORMATION ON THE LOCAL RACES AND BALLOT GO TO OUR WEBSITE.

>>> IT IS TIME FOR THE NEXT WHY IT MATTERS SEGMENT!

WITH OUR PUBLIC MATTERS PARTNER VOICE OF SAN DIEGO AND EDITOR AND CEO SCOTT LEWIS WHO EXPLAINS INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURES AND HOW THEY'RE SHAPING THE SAN DIEGO MAYORS RACE.

>> MONDAY AT THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL, WILBURG WAS PRAISING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THE RESPONSE TO A FIRE NEAR HEAR HOME.

WHEN SHE ASKED THE CITY CLERK TO PLAY A YOUTUBE VIDEO.

>> THAT'S MY BACKYARD.

MYSELF AND MY HOUSE.

WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT WAS CLOSE TO OUR HOMES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND THIS IS THE VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED.

IT IS VERY SHORT.

THAT'S NOT THE VIDEO.

IT'S A COMMERCIAL.

IT'S OKAY.

WE DON'T HAVE TO SHOW IT.

>> WHAT STARTED PLAYING WAS THAT AD FOR LARRY TURNER WHO IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR.

>> SMART, HONEST, TOUGH.

TURN SAN DIEGO AROUND.

LARRY TURNER.

THE INDEPENDENT MAYOR SAN DIEGO NEEDS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER VON WILBURG DOES NOT SUPPORT LARRY TURNER.

THE ADS ARE NOT FROM TURNER'S CAMPAIGN, THOUGH.

THEY'RE FROM THE LINCOLN CLUB THAT PUT 8,000 DOLLARS IN AN ACCOUNT TO SUPPORT TURNER AND THAT'S AFTER ONE MILLION DOLLAR DONATION.

THEY'RE DOING WHAT IS CALLED AN INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURE.

MAYORAL CANDIDATES CAN ONLY RAISE X AMOUNT BUT INDEPENDENT GROUPS HAVE NO LIMITS.

PEOPLE THAT DO EXPENDITURES THEY MUST HAVE 2 RULES TO FOLLOW.

THEY MUST SAY WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM AND NOT COORDINATE WITH THE CAMPAIGN.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN SHOT OF THAT TURNER AD, YOU SEE THE LINCOLN CLUB SAID IT IS FROM THEM.

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO SAY THE NAME OF THE ATTORNEY WHO GAVE THE MILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE HE GAVE THE LINCOLN CLUB THE MONEY.

THE LINCOLN CLUB WAS LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SPEND HIS DONATION HOWEVER THE LEADERS WANTED.

THEY JUST PUT MOST OF IT SO FAR INTO ADS LIKE THIS.

YOU CAN WATCH ALL THIS HAPPEN THROUGH REQUIRED PUBLIC DISCLOSURES AND WHEN SUPPORTERS SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THEY QUICKLY RAISED MONEY INTO THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURE EFFORT.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOREVER, BUT WILL PLAY AN EVEN BIGGER ROLE IN LOCAL POLITICS.

2 YEARS AGO THE STATE PASSED A LAW AND PROHIBITED ANY MEMBER OF THE AGENCY FROM VOTING ON ANY ISSUE THAT WOULD AFFECT ANY DONOR THAT GAVE $250 OR MORE TO THEIR CAMPAIGN.

WE ANALYZED THE DATA AND IT LED TO FEWER DONATIONS TO CANDIDATES.

THE MONEY WILL GO THROUGH INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURES NOW INSTEAD.

I'M SCOTT LEWIS AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> AS A COUNTRY WITH NO FEMALE PRESIDENT, NANCY PELOSI IS KNOWN AS THE MOST POWERFUL FEMALE IN POLITICAL HISTORY.

SHE SPOKE ABOUT HER NEW MEMOIR AND OUR REPORTER CAUGHT UP WITH HER TO TALK ABOUT NEXT MONTH'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND AMERICA'S CURRENT DIVIDE.

>> SO MUCH IS AT STAKE IN NEXT MONTH'S ELECTION THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE WE WIN.

WE MADE A DECISION TO WIN TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY.

TO SAVE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS AND PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER AND SHARING BUT DEMOCRACY IS ALSO A PERSONAL ISSUE.

THE FREEDOM OF WOMEN TO HAVE CONTROL OF THEIR REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM AND FREEDOM OF PEOPLE TO READ BOOKS OR LGBTQ.

THE FREEDOM FOR CHILDREN TO BE SAFE ON THE STREETS FROM GUN VIOLENCE AND THE REST.

THEY THINK OF IT AS THE CONSTITUTION AND IT IS AND THAT IS AT STAKE, TOO, BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY MIGHT TERMINATE THE CONSTITUTION.

IT IS A GLOBAL ISSUE THAT IS SAY A BIG ISSUE AND KITCHEN TABLE ISSUE FOR AMERICA'S WORKING FAMILIES.

SO FOR THE CHARACTER OF OUR COUNTRY, WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION.

>> AND YET POLLS SHOW VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS TIED WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

GIVEN THE CONSEQUENCES YOU JUST OUTLINES, WHY?

ED THE NEEDLE MOVING?

>> WE ARE NOT TRUSTING IN POLLS.

WE ARE OWNING THE GROUND.

WE ARE M, MOBILIZING.

MOBILIZING.

GETTING OUT EVERY POSSIBLE VOTE.

THAT IS WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY.

PUTTING ONE MOBILIZATION DAY IN FRONT OF ANOTHER.

WE'RE MESSAGING IN THE WAY TO YOU CAN'T RUN ON EMPTY AND HAVE TO MOBILIZE AROUND A VISION AND THAT HAS TO BE UNIFIED AND PROGRESSIVE AND BOLD BUT UNIFYING AND HAVE THAT MONEY TO GET IT DONE.

SO THREE M'S.

AND THE DONORS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THAT.

WE'RE GETTING OUR JOB DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WIN THE ELECTION, WHATEVER THE POLLS SHOW.

ACTUALLY, FOR AS NEW AS KAMALA HARRIS IS ON THE SCENE, SHE'S DOING VERY WELL TO BE TIED WITH A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> MALE VOTERS, INCLUDING BLACK AND LATINO MEN, APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTING TRUMP, AGAIN, ACCORDING TO THE POLLS, IN WIDE MARGINS IN 7 SWING STATES WITH WITH JUST 3S LEFT TO THE ELECTION.

CAN HARRIS WIN THEM OVER?

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE A GENDER GULF BECAUSE WOMEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE IN THIS ELECTION.

WOMEN HAVE THE MOST TO LOSE IN, AGAIN, THE WOMENS RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND IT'S A PERSONAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE AND THAT IS A RESPECT ISSUE.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO THINGS LIKE AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE.

OF FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE PAY.

THE VICE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER DAY THAT HOME HEALTH CARE GIVERS WHO ARE SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN CARE FOR CHILDREN AND SENIORS.

SOME ARE MEN, MOSTLY ARE WOMEN.

>> I WANT TO PIVOT SLIGHTLY.

IN YOUR MEMOIR YOU RECOUNT HOW YOUR HUSBAND PAUL PELOSI SURVIVED A LIFE-THREATENING ATTACK AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO JUST RELEASED THE SURVEY THEY DID OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ELECTED OFFICIALS.

2/3 OF THEM REPORTED BEING THREATENED OR HARASSED.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION HERE?

>> WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS ASSAULTED IN THE SANCTITY OF OUR OWN HOME AND VIOLENTLY ASSAULTING HIM, A MILLIMETER FROM LOSING HIS LIFE.

THE OTHER SIDE, THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS SON AND THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.

THEY MADE A JOKE OF IT.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS ATTACKED IN TERMS OF THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS, WE ALL SYMPATHIZED WITH HIM.

THAT HAS NO PLACE.

ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER.

BUT WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO ATTRACT SO MANY NEW PEOPLE TO POLITICS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, BUT ALSO PEOPLE OF COLOR AND TO HAVE THE DIVERSITY OF AMERICA REFLECTED AT THE TABLE OF DECISION MAKING, WE CAN'T HAVE THEM AFRAID FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN AND FOR THEMSELVES.

>> A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SAY THEY ARE TROUBLED BY POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE.

HOW WORRIED ARE YOU?

>> I CONTINUING IS SOMETHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

BUT I DO THINK AS SOON AS WE GET THROUGH THIS ELECTION AND WHOEVER WINS, AND ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A UNIFYING SPIRIT IN OUR COUNTRY.

WE HAVE TO TRY TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

I SERVED IN CONGRESS WHERE WE HAD GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BUT NO DISRESPECT OF THE PATRIOTISM AND HONOR OF THE OTHER PERSON AND WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE PLACE LIKE THAT.

I THINK YOUNG INVOLVED GIVES HOPE.

I THINK THE ARTS ARE A PLACE TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

WE LAUGH TOGETHER AND CRY TOGETHER.

WE'RE INSPIRED TOGETHER.

WE FIND COMMON GROUND WHICH WE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT WE HAD.

>> SPEAKER PELOSI, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING WITH ME.

>> MY PLEASURE.

THANK YOU.

>> AND THAT WAS KPBS' REPORTER.

>>> RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN CHULA VISTA COULD LOOK VASTLY DIFFERENT UNDER NEW HOUSING RULES.

WE HAVE MORE.

>> THEY'RE CALLED ACCESSORY BLOWING UNITS.

SOMETIMES AND IN CHULA VISTA HOMEOWNERS CAN BUILD ONE ON THEIR PROPERTY.

NOW THE CITY WILL RESEARCH WHETHER TO ALLOW 2 DETACHED ADU'S.

IT CAN HELP WITH THE HOUSING CRISIS AND WHAT HAPPENED IN ONE OF THE COUNTY'S FASTEST GROWING CITIES.

THE COUNCIL MEMBER ALONZO GONZALEZED WAS FIRST TO PROPOSE THE CHANGE.

HE WANTS TO ALLOW THE EXTRA ADU WITHOUT INCREASING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ALLOWABLE UNITS ON A PROPERTY.

>> IF WE CAN ALLOW 2 DETACHED ADU'S BUT CAP IT AT 4 TOTAL UNITS, THAT WOULD BE MY DIRECTION.

>> BUT WHEN THE CHANGE COULD HAPPEN IS UNKNOWN.

FOR NOW, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS REJECTED THE PROPOSAL THAT LEFT THE DOOR OPEN TO CONSIDER THE ISSUE AGAIN.

>> I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT INTENTIONS MOVING FORWARD.

BUT, AT THIS TIME, I THINK FOR THE INTEREST OF ALL OF US, WE NEED TO SLOW THIS DOWN.

>> CITY STOP IS EXPECTED TO COLLECT FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE POSSIBLE CHANGE.

FOR KPBS, I'M EMILY ETHAN.

>> AND IT'S A NON-PROFIT FUNDER OF KPBS.

FOR MORE GO TO KPBS.ORG/PUBLIC MATTERS >> SOME AREAS WILL SEE THE COLDEST WEATHER WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR THIS SEASON AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

OTHERS WILL SEE SNOW IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS HERE.

SO, YES, GET READY FOR THAT.

BUT OVERALL OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DIP IN THE MID60'S AND KNOW CLOUDS PARTICULARLY NEAR THE COAST AND IT WILL BE A CLOUDY AND FOGGY START FOR SOME AREAS.

ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA WE'LL SEE THE MIX OF 50'S, 60'S AND EVEN A MIX OF 70'S HERE FOR SOME AREAS, BUT OUSLIER A KHULLY START AND CLOUD COVERS ARE DEVELOPING OFF SHORE AND THEN WORK ITS WAY ON.

AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY, YES, COOLER AIR STARTING TO WORK ITS WAY IN FROM CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA.

HEADS UP FOR THAT.

THAT IS GOING TO BRING COOLER AIR AND LOOK AT THE SAN DIEGO HIGHS FOR TOMORROW.

A LITTLE CLOUDIER NEAR THE COAST BUT THE HIGHS IN THE MIX OF LOW TO MID 70S AND IN THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS THEY'RE STILL IN THE 60'S.

THE DESERT AREA WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80'S TO LOW 90'S.

SAN DIEGO 70.

OCEANSIDE, CAMP HILTON 72°.

SO FUTURE TRACK RADAR SHOWING THAT CLOUD COVER THERE OFF IN THE DISTANCE.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S WHERE THAT SNOWFALL IS GOING TO START TO FALL IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND LAST YEAR AS WE HEAD THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ACROSS PARTS OF SALT LAKE CITY AND UTAH.

AFTER THAT THAT BIG COOL DOWN I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH TEMPERATURES 20° LOWER THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING HERE FOR SOME AREAS, BUT OVERALL THAT WILL STAY MORE INLAND.

THE FORECAST SUNNY SKIES WITH THE HIGHS IN THE 70'S AND ALSO A PRETTY GOOD WARM UP THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

WE'LL BE BACK AND DIPS IN THE 40'S IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT CHILLY.

TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE 80'S AS WE HEAD TO THE WEEKEND AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 40'S.

HEADS UP FOR THAT.

THE MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS, WE'LL SEE NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY MORNING SO GET READY FOR THAT AND WATCH OUT FOR THE DESERT AREAS WITH THE HIGHS IN THE 90'S BY NEXT WEEK.

>> SO YOU WANT TO SKIP THE LINE?

WELL, YOU CAN.

BUT IT WILL COST YOU.

DISNEY HAS UNVEILED A NEW ALL-ACCESS PASS AT THE PARKS ALLOWING YOU TO SKIP THE LINE BUT THE LIGHTNING LANE PREMIER PASS MAY COST MORE THAN THE TICKET DOES.

THE PILOT PROGRAM IS OFFERED IN LIMITED QUALITIES AND PRICED PER PERSON, PER DAY BASED ON THE DEBATE AND DEMAND ON THAT DAY.

AT DISNEY LAND THE PASS IS $400 PER DAY ON TOP OF THE PARK DAY PASS.

>>> AND THE SUPER MOON WILL BE SUPER BRIGHT!
