some areas a chance of scotte d scattered showers but breaking apart as we speak. in the next few hours, seeing peeks of sunshine. east bay, 54. north bay 50. not necessarily cold on this saturday morning, but here's a live look at that radar. over the past two hours. if we kind of zoom in, you can actually see the majority of that storm move off the east to the north bay not really seeing too much rain right now, and if we kind of move towards the south bay and san francisco area, still seeing a few spotty showers here and there and still seeing moderate downpours near monterey and, of course, further down near santa cruz as well. so we are expecting this to kind of move out, which is going to make way for, as kira mentioned, the one break we're going to catch before we see another storm system move in, and for that it looks like as of now that it could be arriving as early as sunday. i will have a closer look at that timeline and what you can expect as well as those temperatures, tracking several storms on the way yet again. >> wow. in a little bit you'll give us

kqed senior editor of california politics and government, scott shafer, welcome to you both. we just heard what president trump said this morning. it's a mixed message it seems. what does that mean? he seems to be implying there might an new executive order, but they're also going to push something through the courts? >> they have 14 days to ask for what's called an enbanc review from the full ninth circuit, they could also decide to appeal right to the supreme court. what would be probably the most thing to do is rescind the order that has been so problem mat nick a number of ways and write a new one. narrow it in a way that won't cause the problems both at the airports with the implementation and also in the courts. that may be what they'll do. that would probably be the easiest and fastest thing to do. >> maybe narrow it in such a way it does not apply to green card holders, for example? >> exactly. >> let's say they do decide to appeal to the supreme court. dean more ray, you were a clerk for sonia sotomayor, now a supreme court justice. if it does make its way to the sup

hi, joe. >> hi, scott. i don't have a sore arm or anything. you are right you are a baseball fan people circle the calendar becausethere is spring in the air and baseball season getting started. if you are talking about the giants in the last few years there is not a lot of competition for roster spots. that is not the case this year. >> if your a giants fan or for that matter bruce bochy there is something reassuring about the site and sound of buster posey in the batting cage. >> something to look forward to and getting a chance to see everybody and hear the sound of the bat and watch the guys work out. a good day. >> pitchers and catchers. every year it is a separate thing and you give everything you have and start all over. >> you show up here and we don't have fans here and the adrenalin is going and we are ready. >> when the super bowl game ends, that's like the big trigger. okay we are a manager and you are always thinking about things. >> the pitching staff consumes bochy's thoughts in the season and it starts with the old big four is

scott pruitt has said about himself. he describes himself as a leading advocate against the e.p.a.'s agenda on the role of the e.p.a., he says, i believe that the e.p.a. has a role to play in our republican forum of government. air and water quality issues can cross state lines and can sometimes require federal intervention. at the same time the e.p.a. was never intended to be our nation's front line environmental regulator. now that is kind of a well put together statement. but i want you to understand how radical of a statement that is because the e.p.a. was designed to be the nation's front line environmental regulator. the basic premise is that there are certain things that can be done at the local level that ought to be done at the local level. when we can figure our governments, we decided we want police forces and firehouses and other municipal services, sewer and water, right? and trash pickup. certain things get done locally. some things get done at the county level. some things get done at the state level. and

because trump is right outside of that door, but trump, but trumpism which includes kasich, snyder and scott which is taking a women's right to choose and right to live free with dignity. it's not just one fight we have to fight. we have to fight all over this country, every county and city and every single state in the united states. that's why we have to fight. let me just say this as we wrap it up. one big question is how do we engage the grassroots? we have 750,000 people sign a petition supporting our campaign right now. this afternoon, we will convert them from demonstration energy to electoral energy so we can win. this afternoon, this afternoon after you elect me, we will take ur brothers and sisters in the afl-cio, teachers' union and all of labor and say look guys, now, you guys are the grass foots, the feet of the democratic party, knock on the doors and build relationships every day and let's organize this party. there are people who need us, people who are desperate. people who need comfort and aid they need the democratic party. there's none of these community organizations, le

let's bring in scott, live in england with us. scott, just to start, first of all, it is important to point out that there were two ways of viewing this news conference. there were those who scratching their heads about it, but there were also people that really like seeing the president of the united states take it to the media. the president has set up and steve bannon has pointed out the media is the opposition party, in their view. this was sort of a show called beat the press, as one of the trump surrogates suggested. >> a significant minority of americans have been with trump through the primaries, through the campaign and even now. and trump continues to count on that minority by framing this as a battle between him and you're not just the option folk. you're the enemy. so the idea is if he can keep those americans thinking it's not really the question of the issues, maybe the ties with russia, maybe about domestic approaches to health care, maybe questions about his tax reform, but if he can say media shs media, media, it'
