on homeless. they should give us some break on the medallion price. give us a break. >> that's the message from taxi drivers who bought those medallions once. priceless. they're now nearly worthless >> always live abc seven news starts right now. >> this is the evidence left behind from a sideshow on the bay bridge. burned rubber from cars doing donuts. it's just part of the aftermath from just one of the sideshows. good evening. >> i'm dionne lim, and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. it was a busy weekend for law enforcement around the bay area. through all hours of the night here, look at this. this sideshow on the bay bridge was one of half a dozen around the bay area over the weekend, as abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley found local law

enforcement was flooded with calls about the dangerous gatherings. >> these are the skid marks on the bay bridge as you approach treasure island on the upper deck, as seen from sky seven today. they're from a sideshow that materialized on the bridge early sunday. additional units were called and dispersed the crowd within 20 minutes, allowing traffic to flow again on the upper deck. >> they determined at least 100 vehicles were possibly involved in the sideshow activity. >> chp got the call at 3:17 a.m. >> four individuals were detained uh, two of them which were cited, for aiding and abetting in the sideshow activity. those two individuals were determined to be juveniles and the other two, persons who were detained were arrested at the scene. >> sideshow activity kicked off the night at 11 p.m. saturday in menlo park on willow road, with

vehicles doing donuts and spectators blocking the intersection. police broke up the activity, then, at 11:20 p.m, a sideshow materialized at stanford and chp responded. >> this location was at coyote hill road and page mill road, we did not have any arrests at that time, just activating their lights and sirens to disperse everybody out of that area by midnight. >> a sideshow was filmed in mountain view on middlefield road, one woman was reportedly injured by a car there, but mountain view police did not respond to requests to confirm the accident. by 2 a.m. sunday, a sideshow popped up on international boulevard in oakland with 100 vehicles and dozens of spectators. police shut it down, only to have another sideshow on park boulevard at 2:45 a.m. it two was shut down. 30 minutes later, there was the bay bridge

sideshow, chp, and various police agencies are investigating any possible connections. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> a single car crash is causing some delays for south bay commuters. this was the scene just after 4:00 this afternoon on monterey and metcalf roads in san jose. the crash completely blocked southbound lanes, and now the cleanup and investigation are causing delays. the driver of that suv was seriously hurt. unfortunately drivers are advised to find alternate routes . police are investigating a death in east palo alto after a man died this afternoon along newell court at cooley avenue. at this point, the department is releasing very little information, but police chief jeff liu tells abc seven news that he called in homicide investigators out of an abundance of caution. we're told an autopsy will be performed tomorrow to determine how he died. >> now to our work to build a better bay area. the struggle of san francisco's downtown

recovery was front and center at the state capitol. and it's not just a bay area problem. abc seven news reporter luz pena joins us live now from the newsroom to explain luz. >> that's right. diane. the mayor of san francisco, along with the mayors of sacramento, long beach and riverside, met at the state capitol this morning to address the struggles. all these bay area, all these california cities, i should say, are facing this was a huge push by san francisco's mayor, london breed to sound the alarm. the city's downtown is suffering as some of california's top mayors met to discuss how to help downtowns across the state recover after the pandemic. inside the emporium center, san francisco, previously known as the westfield mall, another store closed. its doors are closed today. >> know they have the one right there, but this one is closed, too. everything's closed. wow. >> sephora is one of many stores that sit empty now inside the mall. safety is one of the factors. why jane humphrey stopped coming here. >> i really don't feel safe

coming to san francisco today during the first legislative hearing on california's downtown recovery, mayor breed addressed the conditions of downtown san francisco. >> remote work has led to a historic office vacancy rate of over 36% in our downtown, which is led to a major drop in foot traffic and said crime has actually gone down. property crime is down another 32, and violent crime is down 14. >> sacramento and long beach mayors joined breed in exposing what their downtowns are also experiencing. >> we have certainly experienced challenges with respect to our recovery. >> some of the solutions come in the form of legislations that could transform downtown. one of them is sb 1227 by senator scott wiener. >> we need to make it more diverse with office and housing in this bill. we're we're giving the city an expedited way to issue these permits, have another piece of legislation to

allow the city to create outdoor entertainment zones, which could be very beneficial. downtown solutions that the bay area council say are crucial. >> this legislative package she's talking about today aren't necessary. they're extremely necessary. >> back at the capitol, the ceo of the union square alliance said this meeting gave her hope as new businesses are coming in bar and restaurant boom in union square. >> we're actually expecting quite a few more announcements of new restaurants this year, and into next year. >> and despite the closure of another store at the emporium center, san francisco, there are signs of recovery. we counted at least five storefronts with signs that said they had been leased, advertising new businesses coming soon to the mall. in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> all right, luz, thanks very much. this is not a surprising headline, but the most expensive gas in california is right here in the bay area. san rafael edges out san francisco, actually with the highest price at 562 per gallon. san francisco gas is 560. it's jumped more

than $0.50 in the past month. california gas averages 535 per gallon across the state. that's according to triple a, and the price of gas certainly isn't helping taxi drivers. that industry in san francisco continues to experience hardship even after the pandemic. the closures downtown a businesses and fewer conventions have aggravated aggravated the situation even further. >> now, as part of our efforts to build a better bay area, we do want to focus on a forgotten group, which gets little or no attention. we are talking about the taxi medallion owners. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here with more on how they're coping. or i guess, leanne, in some cases not. >> yeah, well, you know, dan and we just don't only report on what's trending here in on abc seven news, we focus on members of the community. and while every mayoral candidate is focusing on the homeless situation, drugs and downtown, not a single one of them has a plan to save the taxi industry. and it needs to be looked at because the drivers will tell

you the medallion program is broken. taxi medallions look like a mini license plate once worth tens of thousands of dollars, like fool's gold today, they are a nearly worthless investment. after ride sharing companies came online, they took all our business and our business is dead completely, 100. >> and we don't have any business. and most of the drivers leave the business, leave the taxi business because they don't make money. >> here's how it all started. sometime in the early 2000, before uber and lyft, the demand for more taxis grew in san francisco. so in 2009, then mayor gavin newsom, who had a fascination for his blackberry, came up with an idea. since the san francisco municipal transportation agency had a $129 million budget deficit back then , why not sell 700 taxi medallions for $250,000 a pop

and bring needed revenue to sfmta? several years later, when uber and lyft hit the streets, the medallions fell by the wayside. just like that, blackberry and i put 40 years into here, and now they're throwing us all out. hundreds of us taxi drivers who paid for their medallions had taken out loans. but with business down and a worthless medallion, many stopped paying, damaging their credit. >> it's safe to estimate that about 300 of those medallions sold through the program have been foreclosed on recently during an sfmta board hearing. >> taxi drivers suggested that the city bail them out. >> the right thing for the city to do now is to return all or most of the money to the medallion buyers. >> new york city taxi drivers suffered the same damaging consequences, but since 2022, new york has awarded $350 million in debt relief to those affected. san francisco has

offered nothing. ibrar ahmed is one of those medallion owners who dished out $250,000 today. he is still trying to pay off his loan while struggling to make ends meet. >> they don't think even we are human beings. if they think they're spending $1 billion on homeless, they should give us some break on the medallion price. >> and on top of that, some medallion owners. not all will be asked to start paying again. the yearly medallion fee, which was waived during the pandemic. now, sfmta needs to balance its budget, and this would be one more source of revenue. and they're asking, well, if new york can do it, why can't the city of san francisco so help us, right? i mean, they made a fortune. the city of san francisco, they made a fortune. so now they need help. >> yeah. for sure. stay on top of it. all right. leanne. thanks. >> all right. coming up next. thrills and frustrations with viewing today's eclipse in the bay area

where a lot of people headed north on interstate 93. the event drawing so much excitement and curiosity, partly because the next total solar eclipse seen over the u.s. won't be until august of 2044, according to nasa. and only montana, north and south dakota will be in its path. reena roy abc news, niagara falls, new york. >> now, here in the bay area, we enjoyed a partial solar eclipse. the moon only covered a portion of the sun. you're watching a time lapse view of the eclipse that we captured in san francisco. it peaked at about 1115 this morning. now there were watch parties all over the bay area, including at the exploratorium in san francisco. that's where abc7 news reporter cornell bernard camped out to get a glimpse. >> i'm here for the eclipse. it's so exciting. >> a celestial watch party at the exploratorium. everyone looking up, doing some play by play. if you turn it, turn your head this way. >> it looks like the pieces in an apple is bit bit bit into the

apple. >> what's it look like to you? >> it looks like a big orange. >> i had no idea we would see this much of it here. it's so cool. the bay area experiencing a partial eclipse during the 11 a.m. hour, but the excitement was near totality. >> it's sad we don't get to see the total eclipse, but 40% is still fantastic to me. it's crazy because you're looking at two giant objects in the sky, like in space out there, and it makes you feel like one big community. >> you know, right now the sun kind of looks like an upside down pac-man safety glasses. the only way to view the eclipse. and, you know, these were so popular. the exploratorium store sold out of them. >> they ran out of glasses and everyone wants to take a look. and i feel like they deserve that, right? >> many with that glasses got creative watching it eclipse shadows with calendars from home and reflections from mirrors by making the mirror smaller, by blocking part of it with my hand, we're able to get a small image of the eclipsed sun on the wall, and you can really hear

the crowd inside. a crowd was watching live nasa coverage from texas and the midwest. karla duke was feeling the moment, so i'm just grateful to be here. >> it's a blessing. it's a miracle. it's a miracle for god's creation. >> the exploratorium's ken finn is happy that eclipse interest is totally over the moon. >> so many people turning out to be curious to share the experience together, to safely look at the sun, to watch that moon move in front of the pathway of the sun's light, and really delight in the fact that we're part of this big cosmic clock here in our solar system in san francisco. >> cornell bernard, abc seven news. >> it's just so nice to see something. and you know this, we see so much tough news around here and so much to see something so fun and watch people, millions of people come together and enjoy something. >> yeah. because really i mean we're so far away from it. but the fact that so many are into it, that part is cool. >> pretty neat. yeah hope you got to look at what we had, which was not too spectacular.

but yeah. >> sandhya, did you get a chance to look up? so i did not get a chance to actually see it in person. >> diana and dan. but i did get a chance to view the live feed from the exploratorium. camera with my younger daughter, who was really into it. i do want to show you a live view right now, though. or i shouldn't say live view. i should say a view of that partial eclipse from a loyal viewer, from foster city who actually captured this using the special glasses through the phone. amazing sight there. and i do want to show you the satellite picture at the time of the eclipse, it was a total eclipse from mexico to the northeast, as you know, and you can see the darkness from mexico from the southern portion of the u.s. all the way to the northeast. earlier in the day, we had that partial eclipse here in the bay area and perfect viewing conditions as skies were clear. high pressure is in command of our weather. and as it continues to build, we're going to notice these temperatures continuing to rise up ten degrees compared to yesterday in concord, santa rosa , napa, six degrees warmer in san jose. it is a little gusty

at sfo right now. onshore breezes 31 miles an hour. 24 in half moon bay. look at this. the sea lions are soaking it up at pier 39. 60 degrees in the city. low 60s, hayward and oakland. san jose, you're at 68 and half moon bay, 55 degrees, sun shining in san jose it is 72. in santa rosa and concord, 69 in livermore. golden gate bridge camera just a beautiful view. next few days. sunny and noticeably warmer. wednesday, thursday, summer-like nearing records and at the end of the week the temperatures are going to tumble and rain is going to arrive tonight. it's not going to cool off really quickly at 7:00. we have 50s and 60s if you want to step out tonight. still comfortable at 9:00. and then as we head towards tomorrow afternoon, rapidly warming up into the 60s and 70s by early afternoon, you're going to see a lot of areas under sunny skies in the 70s, except near the coastline. your morning temperatures 40s, 50s, mostly clear, but there may be a few patches of fog. and for the afternoon, you're looking at low 60s all the way to the upper

70s. now look at those temperatures go up on wednesday. we're going to be seeing 80s popping up inland. we're going to repeat that on thursday. some cities may near their records, but as we get used to this idea friday, the temperatures really drop as the onshore breezes return and we start to notice high pressure weakening. that leads us to the accuweather seven day forecast. it's going to be a warming trend that started today, continues the next few days with summer like heat. we're talking about a dramatic drop on friday, level one system coming our way on saturday. it's going to be wet and chilly with only 50s and 60s early morning chance sunday. after that we'll go with milder weather, so dan and dion, it's that roller coaster. wet and chilly. >> really? >> yeah, i know just when we got used to the idea. >> all right, we'll take it sandiego. >> okay. >> good weather department giveth and then take it. coming up next, taking on ticketmaster. what california lawmakers are trying to do that could

closing bell for the new york stock exchange in honor of all publicly traded colorado companies. stocks were virtually unchanged in today's trading day. the dow lost 11 points, while the nasdaq gained five. the s&p dropped two. on wednesday, investors will get a look at the latest consumer and producer price index. that's a key indicator of inflation.

>> recently, buying tickets to a concert or maybe a game, has felt more like trying to win an auction for luxury art. but now state lawmakers are taking on ticketmaster by increasing the competition. abc seven news reporter ryan curry spoke with people who say they've spent hundreds on tickets. >> oh yeah. dressing up for a big concert or wearing your favorite team's gear? live events are supposed to be so much fun, but attending one is not cheap, and lawmakers say they're getting more expensive. >> since ticketmaster and live nation were allowed to merge in 2010, ticket prices have gone up an astronomical 140. >> anybody want to talk about answer this question. >> how expensive are they? we went around walnut creek monday afternoon asking people chris stapleton uh- in the grass, crowded very back, almost 700 bucks. >> i've got friends that, of course went recently to who's that, taylor swift. and they were thousands of dollars. it was ridiculous. >> a new bill introduced by east

bay assemblywoman buffy wicks aims to bring those prices down. it would allow for more than one company to be the first to offer tickets for sale. right now. for many events, especially concerts, there is only one option wicks thinks it would open up more competition and lower prices for consumers. >> ticketmaster controls 80% of the primary ticket sales in the united states. this lack of competition, or otherwise known as a monopoly, hurts consumers. >> you heard it from those people. hundreds of dollars spent on tickets. one couple we spoke with says it got so bad one time they didn't even want to deal with ticketmaster. they saw a show recently at the concord pavilion and said, hey, we're just going to wait in line at the box office. zach and juanita burris don't even think it's worth it to go buy tickets online. >> it took me 20 minutes. that was about it. yeah, it was nothing. no fees. >> we bought there at the box office because we didn't want to go through the site's ticketmaster, said in a statement. >> we support reforms to improve ticketing, but ab 2808 will not

do that. it will instead undermine the efforts of artists, sports teams and primary ticketing companies to minimize ticket scalping. but if you ask the people we spoke with, they say the prices of events are way too high and sell out fast. it's at the point where they won't buy them. you don't really have a choice. >> and then when you go to a different service as stubhub or seatgeek, the fees get even higher in the east bay. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. >> the push for reparations for african americans is seen as radical by some, but it's happened before. >> there's no equivalence. but yet we do know something about exclusion and discrimination. >> next, why some japanese americans are revisiting an ugly chapter in their history as the state considers compensation for

using our brand new grocery outlet app. it's been really fun seeing what everyone's doing with the extra money they save. nice shirt. just got back from vacation.

a butler? super nice guy. i got to start using the app.

racism and anti-black policies are under consideration at the state capitol. it's the topic of our latest abc seven originals documentary, california's case for reparations. >> the state's black population

is finding allies in japanese americans who won redress after being locked up in concentration camps during world war two. >> abc seven news anchor and race and social justice reporter julian glover is here with that and a look at his new documentary, which is really powerful. >> i appreciate that it's streaming now and so many folks have been watching it and telling me how much they've been learning, especially about things like this reparations for black californians. so many folks think it's radical, but we don't have to look any further than the push for redress for japanese americans in the 70s and 80s. and now many of those same people are vocal allies in today's push for reparations for black californians. >> there's no equivalence between been four years in a concentration camp that our families as japanese americans faced. but yet we do know something about exclusion and discrimination. >> tamaki's family doesn't just know something about discrimination. his family lived it surprise japanese attack on

american service members on a u.s. naval base. the bombs bursting in pearl harbor. but his parents felt the shock wave hundreds of miles away on the us mainland. it was a wave of fear and hysteria. his father minoru and his mother iyo, both in their early 20s, who'd become two of the more than 120,000 japanese americans forced out of their homes with minimal possessions, round up and sent to concentration camps as a wave of fear and hysteria blanketed the nation. my mother was born in oakland. >> my father was born in san francisco, and they were among about 8000 japanese americans who were rounded up and put in tanforan racetrack. the racetrack in san bruno was surrounded by barbed wire and machine gun towers, and people were literally ordered out of their homes at gunpoint within a matter of weeks. >> the conditions were deplorable, their treatment

unthinkable. >> my father was a student at the university of california at berkeley, and it was quite an achievement for someone who grew up poor in japantown. berkeley dutifully scrolled up his diploma and sent it to him. it's addressed to tanforan assembly center, barrack 29, apartment eight, and barrack 29. apartment eight was a horse stall. >> that stall is where he would stay until he was moved to a permanent concentration camp in topaz, utah. he would stay there until after world war two ended. >> after the war ended, they ended up returning to the very communities that exiled them the first place. whether it's oakland, san francisco, los angeles, these are the communities and like anybody experiencing the trauma, they didn't talk about it. it was the next generation that began to

ask questions. >> what happened as a young attorney, tamaki was a part of that generation asking that question along with another, what now? >> that began in the late 70s, and they were really spurred by the black civil rights movement to ask those questions. and so the movement began of inquiry. and 20 years following, congress passed a bill, first creating a study commission to study this. and that commission led to ten nationwide hearings in which people testified for the first time. >> i will not be heard by you as a representative of this government and many people who had experienced this didn't know each other's stories of what they had lost, the stories of loss, pain and struggle of japanese americans incarcerated for no reason other than their identity in many ways mirrors the testimony of black californians today. >> speaking to the state

reparations task force that tamaki now sits on where congress has not shown the will to even study reparations, let alone do anything about it. >> this work is groundbreaking, a parallel, not lost on him. i view that whole experience of japanese americans is really a subchapter in a racial pathology that actually began in 1619. and yes, a civil war ended enslavement. but the bias and the hatred morphed into other kinds of exclusion that that certainly put a target on the backs of black americans. but other minority groups, including japanese americans, ended up in the crosshairs as well. from time to time, the push for redress for japanese americans led to president reagan signing the civil liberties act into law in 1988, more than 40 years after world war two concluded that gauaranteed $20,000 to every japanese american survivor

who was incarcerated during world war two and eventually an apology, it is so remarkable to see how that push for redress in the 70s and 80s is so parallel to the push for reparations here in california for the black population. >> it's great historical perspective you gave us on that. thank you, julianne. of course. >> now, to get the full picture, you can screen the documentary california's case for reparations that's available on demand. watch it on abc7 news.com and wherever you happen to stream abc seven news. >> check that out, please. now let's move to the race for the white house. president biden unveiling today his new sweeping student loan debt forgiveness plan. >> it helps everyone, not just the people whose debt is relieved they buy homes, they start businesses, they contribute to the president's plan targets what's called runaway interest, canceling up to $20,000 for 25 million people who owe more than they borrowed. >> it also eliminates interest for borrowers, making $120,000 or less. meantime, biden's

presumptive challenger, donald trump, announced his stance on abortion today, saying he thinks laws should be left to the states. >> the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. many states will be different. many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others. and that's what they will be. >> president biden responded by slamming trump, saying abortion should be a fundamental right for every american. >> later this month, the federal communications commission is scheduled to vote on reinstating net neutrality across the country. if approved, it would restore a national standard for broadband reliability, which was previously rescinded by the trump administration. here's abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey. >> we live in a world where internet connectivity is no longer just nice to have. it's essential how and when you're able to use it. without providers throttling or slowing speeds and censoring content was once protected by net neutrality. the fcc lost the ability to enforce this

nationwide in 2017. now, fcc chairwoman jessica rosenworcel wants to regain control. >> it's vitally important that every one of us can go where we want and do what we want online without our broadband provider making choices for us. >> and that's about more than just browsing disney+ without pause. in 2018, we learned how lack of net neutrality protection was nearly deadly. >> santa clara county central firefighters saw their internet data flow slow down dramatically. this while the county's firefighters were battling what would become the biggest wildfire in the state's history. >> internet's a vital role for firefighters. we're collecting data, but we're also communicating with our constituents that are in the area about alert and warning about fire, evacuations or shelter in place orders that need to be carried out in the fire zone. >> verizon made this impossible after they slowed down internet speeds when the limits of their unlimited plan were reached. stanford law professor barbara van schalkwyk says it doesn't matter if this was morally right

or wrong. it's about making sure it never happens again. >> there was nobody. the firefighters could turn to ensure that they get connection first, and we resolve the issue later, you know, that's what we are trying to change here. >> california put in safeguards since then, including their own net neutrality laws and the safe net first responder communication network. but not every state has these protections. and when firefighters go where the fire is, they want to be able to keep everyone safe. the goal to strive toward is to have the same connectivity here everywhere that our resources, our men and women and people who go to those incidences are at just one of the many reasons. chairwoman rosenworcel hopes the fcc will vote to reinstate net neutrality laws on april 24th. dustin dawsey, abc seven news. >> coming up next, another close call with a cargo ship and a bridge. how disaster this time, though, was averted. >> plus building a better bay area at the port of oakland. new tools and strategies can make it

safer and healthier, even for people who

i didn't grow up in a warm, supportive home, so the trauma i went through led to something called toxic stress, but it's gonna be different for my son. i'm giving him the protection he needs to defend against it. learn more at first5california.com.

call in new york and 89,000 ton

cargo ship lost power in the new york harbor on friday near the verrazano narrows bridge. three tugboats were escorting the ship and were able to tow it, though, until it regained power. that is the good news. the ship was repaired over the weekend, and then was allowed to continue on its journey to norfolk, virginia. >> and while we're talking about the shipping industry, activists have long been calling for added measures to protect our air and water from ship pollution. and now steps are being taken to decrease pollution from the vessels. and at least one company believes it has a technology that could help towering hundreds of feet over the port of oakland, it might look like the bay area's biggest vacuum cleaner, and in a sense, it is. this barge run by a startup called stacks, is designed to capture the polluting diesel exhaust from container ships and other large vessels that run their engines while berthed at the port, and that emissions then goes through the ducting here and then gets collected and it goes into our processing unit. ceo mike walker

gave us a tour of this technology, which he says can filter out 99% of particulate matter and other diesel pollutants, reducing huge volumes down to a disposable gas. >> there are big vessels and i would say that, you know, it varies between the vessel size, but it's thousands of cars a day worth of emissions for sure, including pollutants that have been linked to increased cancer risk and now new regulations from the california air resources board will require specific ocean going vessels to reduce their idling emissions by at least 80, cutting pollution that's become an environmental justice issue for many surrounding neighborhoods like west oakland. >> heather arias is transportation and toxins chief for the air resources board. >> you know, you think you see that black smoke and you're like, automatically you're like, oh, i know that's bad, but you wouldn't necessarily think that's actually bad for people that are miles and miles, like 20 miles plus away to meet those stricter requirements, the port has already expanded.

>> the most popular option, shore power, allowing ships to keep their electricity up and running without using their engines. but depending on how the vessel was built, it can be far trickier than just plugging in an extension cord. colleen liang directs environmental planning at the port because the shore power is at a fixed location and the plug on the ship itself is also on a fixed location, the two have to be in alignment in order for the vessel to plug in, she says. the port is working with a number of innovative solutions, including portable shore power outlets mounted on barges, but a percentage of older vessels simply aren't outfitted for these kinds of hookups, and ceo mike walker believes his startup's emissions capture technology will fill in those gaps. >> it really has to be a hybrid approach between the great job we've done with shore power and connecting to that, and now there needs to be another approach to round out that total field. and this is a real opportunity to drive significant impact. and there's not that many times that you get a chance

to do that and potentially set a multi-billion dollar shipping industry on a course for a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future. >> and by the way, the changes don't stop at the shoreline. the state is also tightening air quality regulations for thousands of trucks that haul cargo in and out of the port and other industrial facilities as well. >> well get ready, we've got sunshine and 70s in the days ahead, but there is another change coming. sandia will show you what will happen

that is there in the play in. interesting question from draymond green asking klay thompson his teammate what goes through his mind when draymond is getting tossed from yet another

you can see the store's inventory. so you guys really have mangoes in stock? yup. what about frozen pizza? here they are. fresh salmon. too easy. coffee? yup.

good evening. with only four games left in the regular season

, the warriors have locked up a play in spot, most likely in the 910 game in the western conference. the dubs game in la against the lakers tomorrow night. it's pretty much a must win if they want a shot at rising up to eighth for the seven eight game, with steph curry resting last night, klay thompson went off for 32 points as the warriors beat the lowly jazz 118, 110. now, klay was a guest on draymond green's podcast and draymond asked him be brutally honest. what goes through your mind when i get ejected from a game when you're not out there, it's like a piece of us is gone. >> we could never be ourselves and have the freedom we do on the court without you. so i know the other team is very happy you're not out there. they can. they relax a little bit. they they let their hair down because our muscles gone or enforcer the guy, the heartbeat of our team is not out there. and we've been through so many battles. reached the mountaintop, been down the mountain. had to climb back up. and now we have another real shot at this. so at the end of the day, we just need you and that that, that like

disappointment and that feeling of shaking your head that just comes from like, dang, man, we can't do this without you. and we're not the warriors without money. green. that's just a fact. >> i feel the same way when dan takes vacation. just we're all the same. his vacation should be disapproved, millions of people around the world view the solar eclipse. not all views are created equal, though. this time lapse posted by the cleveland guardians is absolutely incredible. and there it was. all right. the giants tonight they are hosting the washington nationals, arguably the biggest edition of the off season. two time cy young award winner blake snell, making his giants debut tonight at oracle park through a simulated game last week as he tries to, you know, ramp up, get into shape. our chris alvarez asked the skipper bob melvin, about snell zillas debut in orange and black. >> yeah i think everybody's excited. and you know now we're starting to get some guys back that are really impactful. you know, started out a little bit on the other side of it as far as full health. and you know so him coming back is going to be

huge for us i think you know exciting for the fans as well. >> the masters starts on thursday. tiger woods with a large gallery today as he practiced at augusta. five time masters champ. remember he had to withdraw early last year because of foot issues. who knows if he can really get through four rounds playing at a high level? and as if watching tiger at augusta national is not rare enough, a lot of the golfers were out there today taking in the eclipse timed up pretty good, and we get to watch the end of the world at augusta national, right? >> i found a couple of masters uh- eclipse glasses, which i will be keeping those for absolutely the rest of my life. those are those will be some collectibles that will be in my office forever. >> is it getting better? >> yeah. oh yeah. yeah, about a quarter. about a quarter it looks pretty good. >> yeah. it's not the end of the world, by the way. south carolina, just to clarify, south carolina's win over caitlin clark and the iowa hawkeyes, a record setter on abc and espn. more than 18 million viewers

watched that game, making it the most watched basketball game men's or women's college or pro since 2019. abc seven sports sponsored by your northern california honda dealers going to be really interesting because the men's game is on right now and it's purdue in iowa. and let me say right now it's 3025. uconn is leading. but purdue has a giant. their center is seven four zach eady. you talk to nba scouts. he's a college player of the year right. nba scouts don't think he's going to be much as a pro really because he's slow, lumbering, so height isn't everything. yeah. they don't think so. we'll see. all right. thanks larry. >> all right. well, tonight on abc seven at eight, it's american idol at ten. the interrogation tapes, the special edition of 2020. then, of course, see us at 11. all right, that's it for this edition of abc seven news. i'm diane lim and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. >> larry, bill all of us here. we appreciate your time as always. have a great evening. we'll see you at 11.
