protesters took it down. they marched all the way to the main entrance of tesla's factory where they met with police. it was peaceful first, but fired at protesters and some the more we protest, the more we show up and we're going to get. and i just hope that people are ready to come together and stand up the protests died down after that. but for people like that, they're corey, who is palestinian american and it's been affecting us our whole my whole life. he says he's standing up for his family who lives in the war zone. are you worried for them? >> absolutely. yeah. sometimes they don't respond because they're just like i said. >> they're tired of responding everybody, but it scares you because you don't know if something happened to them or they're just like tired responded, you know, now these are the pepper that fremont police used against protesters. and of course, ended up hitting journalist as well for you watching at home. these the definitely not feel good. now we reached out to from a police to find out how many people were arrested from

this point. now, high pressure ridge is in place. as i mentioned, this will consistently keep a striped. and unlike last week where we cool down into the weekend, not so much this time around in for the warmth all through this forecast today will be our first day in the low 70's for a lot of areas further inland, even reaching the mid to even upper 70's for some of us as we move our way into tomorrow, expecting some low 80's. let's get a look at where temperatures will be today. 60's in the city as well as at the coastline. lot of 70's elsewhere in the bay area today will be noticeably warmer than yesterday was so very pleasant day to spend a little time outside, especially with the days getting a little longer. now, it's a lot more inviting after work to just step out there and get some time in oakland and richmond sitting at 70 degrees fillet. how at 73 today, santa rosa at 74. tomorrow's temperatures are going to be in the low 80's as will be thursday's for some of our inland spots and settling in for some low to mid 70's this weekend. great. all right. on eve of that old

yesterday, we were at a standstill along 8.80. >> this morning, no standstill was still just a little slow and sluggish because of the normal flow of traffic. 23 minutes only intial into oakland is you're gonna hop on friday. it's going to take about 28 minutes to make that drive into the city right now. bay bridge recovering from earlier accident. you see taking that accident off the bridge. there. 15 minute ride into the city. so that did not cause major issues. 18 minutes on the senate, a bridge to little slow long, gun on that bridge. well, the one in the south bay just short of hour. 58 minutes. 85 to apart might be a little better option selanne to down to 37. 48 minutes. aria. james, back to you. >> time now to talk winners and losers on wall street with financial rob expert rob black, who joins us this morning. rob, when we're looking at market sort of just wavering a little bit, were in the green, not by much. but what's your take? what he watching? >> yeah, the economy's doing great jobs are going great. the stock market's doing kind

of sideways. it's down 3.7% from its all-time highs. but it feels meant underwhelming bank of america health care had great quarters. that means we're in earnings season again. that's important that we we're dining. we're watching the middle east on because of potentially higher oil prices, which is to what's going on between iran, israel and israel and hamas of know, california's unemployment is the highest in the nation at 5.3%. a lot of people blame the fast food minimum wage on that. so there's one of your repercussions there's a lot of finger pointing going on right now, james and trusting ok from a fast food to ice cream. tell me about this, ben and jerry story. it today. >> free cone day or when is this? that's today 12 to 8 unite. like or junk food. yeah. going do a 1 million scoops last year. they did 970,000. and what's really cool about it is they say you want to get back in line to get a second go ahead. great way to build a that's pretty

interesting company. socially speaking and they were a bad fit when they showed up at the corporate america. but for the guests, corporate europe, but they've come back into the private market is going interesting. okay. and let me ask you to we did a story earlier the antitrust lawsuit potentially >> for live nation, the parent company of ticketmaster. what when you think the repercussions of that are going to be on the stock or just the company in general. >> you're going to hate me for saying the some lower stock in the short term, higher stock in the long term be investigated as a monopoly. take a look at microsoft and it's typically good for business in the long term. this is a political issue this year. big cap because it's political season and both republicans, democrats want to say, you know, these guys are out of control. we need to break them less to get fully broken up. i see the stock higher in one year. >> interesting. okay. well, not hire the trump media stock djt. it's been on a steady slide since it really since it

how's it doing? i know it dropped like 18 points yesterday. i think the company so they're going to sell more shares. and that, of course, dilutes the value of existing shareholder. what's happening? >> nothing you have the numbers quite a little bit mixed up about okay. yesterday they were down 18% last week. the dow donald j. trump jt does terrorism was down 20% since it's been all-time high on march. 26 down 70%. so anyone who has bought this is lost money, very, very poor no earnings. and it looks kind of like a way for a lot of people to pull money out of the company who donald j trump is going to number one to benefit. he's seen as well. go from about 6.2 billion in stock down to 1.7 billion going lower. so his last 5 billion dollars in less than a month. of note. they did say they come up with the streaming channel today. jt did. and they'll have content

like religious content and new stations and films and documentaries. they're going to try to become a netflix and i'm like good lock that cost billions to be coming up. flex. yeah, but yeah, i don't think the stock is i didn't get a single digits in the next 6 months in large part. it's just very few subscribers to the there's 30 people using it other than donald himself. it's interesting. you say 6 months because that's that's the window he can't. >> take any stock out or sell any stock until he's had it for 6 months. right? that's right. they have to report earnings every 3 months. and it could be a wild called that i've never seen a stock this broken this fast. >> and i can't wait for that calls to see what cycle one of the planning. what's the we'll learn more in the next 5 months to say said, we say yes, ok? so maybe that not the best investment, but >> caitlin clark, collectibles apparently our i mean, women's basketball. it's all the rage right now. women soccer as well. she was drafted number

one by the indiana fever last night. >> she helped the ncaa ratings topped the men's tournament this year. 14 million viewers watched the finals of the ncaa. i think largely because of her tickets for the very first game that she plays against the connecticut center up 91%. you got 2 million instagram followers while she's got deals with nike. gatorade, xfinity state farm you. it sounds like tiger woods or sounds like michael jordan but she's the first really marketable woman in sports and collectibles in particular. she's got 7 tv right now selling for $10,000 and one sold last week or last month for 20,000. and i was the record-breaking 3528 point career. i think card. so she's she's all that in a bucket of chicken. no woman in sports has ever been as marketable as she isn't done. i see all the power to the women. i prefer women soccer and women's basketball myself at this point in time. very interesting. you know, who

also sell product and is very marketable. beyonce. >> have you heard about the western wear that's getting a big boost because of her latest album and we call it in the industry. the beyonce boots are up 20% week-over-week since the carter cowboy album came out. and it's just interesting. celso levis is benefiting from it. that's a bay area company i don't know. so turn taylor swift is jumping into out right now. so feels like we're going to get to another year and beyond dropping an album next year, which is can be part 3. yeah. a lot of people think it could be a jazz out more on r and b, something totally different for her. >> so you can bet on beyonce. you can bet on taylor. you can definitely on caitlin clark as well. wow, that's fascinating stuff. all right, rob, thank you as always are going rob again tomorrow. so if there is a story, >> beyonce company or whatever, let them know facebook, twitter, you've got to social media handles there and you also got his e-mail it rob at rob black dot com, thanks for up to tomorrow.

well, gas prices are now almost $0.10 higher than they were last week, at least according to triple a nowhere in the bay area. we'll likely find any gas under 5 bucks. the good news is gas is at least one to $0.2 cheaper than they were yesterday. so maybe they're trending in the right direction. but you can see. >> yeah, you can see here on the list it doesn't look good. napa county, san mateo county, 5, 70 75. 76. it's a little cheaper in san francisco by couple pennies. you go to the east bay. we've got alameda county and contra costa county there at 5. 67 5.62, respectively. it's a penny cheaper in the south bay,

santa clara county, 5.61. and that's the same average price we're seeing up in solano county. >> to those are regular prices try to save. but my car went paying class. and so i had to get the good stuff. a top psychological survey found that social media features like the infinite scrolling. they call that doomscrolling. it's really risky for the mental health of young people. there's a report in the american psychological association journal and they found that endless scrolling can cause a distraction in young people's developing brains. and so they're urging tech companies to do something about it and take greater steps to protect adolescents, mental health. they argue that the agents trick shuns that the apps to now don't really do that. i mean, kids can easily, as we all know, work around that the report and offer any specific changes. they want to see on the apps. but they say that parents can also play an important role in limiting social media use for your children. google is they say reducing california news

website from their search results. so when you guess you'll see fewer new sites. and so the news sites don't like that. the google is pushing. get back against a bill that's going to require big tech companies to pay publishers for their content. google says that that would change their whole business model. some lawmakers are condemning google's actions saying that it's an abuse of power >> we're going to take a break in 9.26. but coming up on the kron morning news, the latest on that fatal wrong-way crash last month on 5.80. the latest charges that drivers are now facing. and a bright calling on you to help find this porch pirate. we stole something very important to her just before her wedding. we'll tell you what it was.

hours, right in the heart of the commute. kron 4 sarah stinson takes a closer look. >> i implore people, please protest were here to protect your rights to protest, but you cannot block roadways. you cannot keep emergency personnel, whether it's ambulance or law enforcement, fire department from getting out to assist other people. >> stern words from california highway patrol after arresting 38 protesters monday. they were among hundreds of people who disrupted traffic for hours at 3 different locations in the bay area. all calling for an immediate cease-fire in gaza. 26 people got arrested after blocking all lanes on the golden gate bridge. 7 people got arrested on i-80 in oakland after a group of locked their arms 280 pound concrete barrels in the middle of traffic lanes. and at the 7th street exit of i-80, 8000's of protesters walked onto the freeway. 5 people got

arrested there. chp says the protesters now face a slew of charges. the most serious being conspiracy to commit a crime and false imprisonment, which surprise legal expert stephen clark. >> the chp is obviously taking this very seriously with these arrests suggesting conspiracy that could elevate these charges to a felony. the protesters on the golden gate bridge will be prosecuted by the san francisco district attorney and the protesters in the east bay will be prosecuted by the alameda county district attorney. >> clark says it might be hard to prove the false imprisonment charges. certainly you can argue that the protesters by shutting down access on the bridge you are presenting those drivers. >> at the same time, the drivers could have got out of their car and left. so i don't know that that it's false imprisonment charge would hold up in trial. >> clark says as a former prosecutor, this will be overall a challenge in court

when the defense argues for first amendmeni rights. i think it will be a difficult call for the da just how to handle these cases. >> because this is a very progressive community. we do respect the right free speech. but at the same time, we don't want to see public safety jeopardized. >> i'm sara stinson reporting kron. 4 news. >> in the east bay elstree. do police have arrested a man suspected of shooting at a passing car last summer? they say walter martinez fired several shots at a car that was passing by and then he ran off. martinez being held now on $350,000 bond in the contra costa county jail. >> prosecutors are charging 2 men with robbery and also a deadly accident when they were trying to get away from the police. the contra costa county da's office charges patrick sheckells from oakland with 6 felony counts including murder and andrea albert ii of stockton with burglary last
