9:00 am
home run. let's hold the video until he catches it. there we go. and he holds on. now the a's need a win today against the houston astros to avoid a four game sweep. they were shut out three nothing. the offense struck out nine times. could only muster two hits. the a's have dropped four straight games now happening today. it's the first day of the annual contra costa county fair. the fair kicks off at noon in antioch. today's entertainment includes a pageant to crown the queen of the fair, along with all the usual food fair, games and exhibits. tickets for today are just $1 for the rest of the weekend. admission will cost $12. that's general admission, $8 for seniors. children under the age of five get in for free. >> the president of a university in the north bay on administrative leave. the campus wide message he sent that led to his suspension at sonoma state university, a pro-palestine indian group takes over a building at uc berkeley college. >> of. a closer look at a
9:01 am
developing situation as demonstrators are holding their ground. >> then from california to the vatican, the polluted heart of the climate crisis are these fossil fuel companies. why governor newsom is tackling climate change halfway across the world. >> live from jack london square this is mornings on two. >> the night. >> it's another day of may. gray all across the bay. you can see the tree moving. there is wind out there as well. little peeks of sunshine overall. not a bad kind of. thursday. let's talk about what could be changing in your neighborhood here. if you live in the city of berkeley, people who live in berkeley could start selling their adus as condos in the next year. it's seen as a move that could help address the housing shortage in berkeley. earlier this week, the city council there instructed city staff to draft an ordinance
9:02 am
authorizing such sales. it's based off assembly bill 1033, which took effect earlier in the year. 1033 allows cities to let residents sell their adus separate from their primary home so you could live in the big house and sell off that little one. berkeley has become the first city across the state to adopt the bill. san jose, though also considering a change. this morning, we're turning to you and asking, do you think homeowners should be able to sell their adus separate from their main homes? two options here. yes, it will help housing. most of you say no. it will create problems. so have your say by scanning the qr code at the top right of your screen. you can also head to ktvu.com/vote to have your say. we love watching those numbers change. i know a lot of people who live in neighborhoods with adus find that a lot of them are rented out, and i think some of the issues, some of the friction, if you will, comes when it's a new group of people coming in, you know, every week, every other weekend to rent. so maybe selling it will bring hopefully some stability. but but it can dramatically impact your neighborhood life for sure. >> well, yeah. but you know then
9:03 am
again what's impacted is the lack of housing. we need housing area. i mean, we did a story last hour of just the numbers. you have 2.5 million people living in santa clara county, and only 755 homes for sale on the market right now. >> and the average list price is $2 million. well, that's why it's $2 million, because there are only 755 of them on the market, right? >> so the demand is there. >> i understand i think our viewers are saying, hey, what about some of the unintended consequences of selling that? they're just being caught? our viewers tend to be cautious. >> you always have to consider, you know, these these i think that's what the will be ironed out. perhaps we'll get a better that's quite a big margin in that poll. >> maybe it'll change through the hour. >> yeah it often does. >> all right. let's move to this story right now. the president of sonoma state university says he made a mistake. he sent an email to the college community making promises to student protesters without the proper approval. ktvu james torres is live from sonoma state's campus, where the tent encampment is now gone and the president is temporarily off the job. james >> andre. well, behind me is
9:04 am
where that tent encampment used to be, and it was there as of just about two days ago, there for almost three weeks. you see, the grass is now freshly cut. you can see some of the dead grass, actually, where those tents used to be. then there's a sidewalk right next to this field we're standing just outside of person theater here on sonoma state university's campus, and that sidewalk was covered in a bunch of different messages written in chalk, of course, with pro-palestinian messages and even some words of encouragement and some words of support for president mike lee, who is now on administrative leave. we saw as university employees came out and scrubbed off the chalk with water and brooms. this is all after the california state university chancellor called lee insubordinate for making terms of an agreement with those student protesters. sonoma state university is part of the csu system, and in a statement, csu chancellor mildred garcia wrote the message was sent without the appropriate approvals. i want to acknowledge how deeply concerned
9:05 am
i am about the impact the statement has had on the sonoma state community and how challenging and painful it will be for many of our students and community members to see and read the statement she's referring to is a campus wide alert from president lee. he had met with some students twice during their more than two week long demonstration. he says the university had come to a couple of agreements with those students. that includes discuss opposing the university's investments with a pro-palestinian student advisory council that would be formed next fall. and they would also consider diverse divestment strategies. he also promised an academic boycott against programs that are sponsored by or represent the state of israel. but the csu system says they did not agree to any of those terms. in fact, they weren't even aware that those negotiations were going on. in the latest statement from president lee, he sent just yesterday, he acknowledges that he made a mistake and says that he sent his message without those proper approvals. part of that statement reading quote in
9:06 am
my attempt to find agreement with one group of students, i marginalize other members of our student population and community. i realize the harm that this has caused, and i take full ownership of it. i deeply regret the unintended consequences of my actions. again, tents at the encampment here at sonoma state. they're now gone. the csu chancellor says she is continuing to review this matter. she's already named an acting university president, who is expected to start today. according to the press democrat, some of the students involved in the protest may be considering a demonstration at commencement ceremonies here at the university. those are expected to start this weekend. reporting live this morning i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> classes at uc irvine are being held online after a showdown on campus between the police and pro-palestinian protesters. we are protesters took over the physical sciences
9:07 am
building and blocked the entrance. that's when university police called for help and hundreds of law enforcement officers in riot gear rushed to the campus. many demonstrators were detained when they would not leave as the university declared their protest an unlawful assembly. we don't know yet if any of the protesters were formally arrested or just detained. the encampment that had been on campus for a few weeks was also cleared listener day, after a group of pro-palestine protesters packed up their encampment on uc berkeley's campus, a new group has taken over a university building and plans to stay. >> dozens of protesters entered the anna head alumni hall yesterday, breaking boarded up windows and spraying graffiti. the building had been vacant since 2022. right now, it's unclear how many protesters are inside the building. university police are calling this an active crime scene. some students who live nearby say they are not alarmed by the demonstration. >> i'm really glad that people are expressing like their opinion and are able to like, you know, voice their beliefs and everything, especially like
9:08 am
in peaceful manners, like it's not like they're disturbing or like disrupting or like hurting anyone. >> the university would not tell us if campus police have plans to get people out of the building or shut down the encampment outside. >> if you have triple a, you may see your home insurance go up as much as 23. the company approved to raise its average home insurance rate by 6.9. some homeowners will see their rates jump higher than that. however, a small number may actually see theirs drop as much as 11.3. about 448,000 customers in northern california will be affected, and more than a million customers statewide. the change will go into effect after august 1st. >> let's take a peek at stocks here, because earlier today we crossed a threshold not seen before dow jones industrial average crossed 40,000 points for the first time, has now dropped about seven plus points below that mark. but still, it's nice to see these numbers. we see the dow jones is up by almost a quarter of a percent just under that 40,000 mark. we'll see what the other markets
9:09 am
are doing. let me scroll down and tell you if the nasdaq and s&p are doing well as well. s&p a small bump nasdaq just barely hanging on to where it started. >> all right. let's bring steve paulson in this morning with a look at your forecast, which involves of course another day of the marine layer and windy to or stratus as we like to say here. >> but we'll take a look at temps which have either been a little bit below or right where they should be. yesterday, santa rosa 73 average is 76. for this time of year, san francisco was only 61 should be 64. livermore bumped a little above 80. average 79. san jose right there 7777. the city 62 54w average 6451. kind of been stuck in the low 60s, upper 50s. the record high 94. in 1997 and 42 back in 1906 was the record low. inland temps have not been that bad. unless you're out to sacramento, northern sacramento valley, then yeah, then it's hot. but for our forecast zone today we're going 78 in concord, 80 tomorrow, then
9:10 am
76 on saturday. so it does look like according to the climate prediction center, the 23rd through the 29th, the rest of may will be near average to slightly below. i'm not sure i buy into this much being below, but i think you get the idea. temperatures are not really. there's no sign of any strong or long lasting high pressure buoy. it's sold out to the north all the way up to ukiah. yet you go south and it's sun city. look at that fog cleared out. we had a southeast breeze that helped scour some out, although still some in the santa clara valley. but peninsula 880 corridor, san jose. it's already sunshine. oh, plenty as we like to say, but there is an onshore breeze or a south wind. it's been their rather robust, especially out to travis 30 gust to 35. south wind at concord a 17. it's a west wind napa west southwest oakland. so if you have that low cloud deck, you're probably going to be a tall order to burn it off. if you already have the sun, then it'll be nice. we're already seeing 60s for some, but again, with that roaring sea breeze, i don't think we're getting too warm unless you're well outside my forecast zone, but you can see a lot of low
9:11 am
gray clouds there. they'll be back tonight to morning, maybe a little drizzle here. this could be slightly overdone, but i think tonight into tomorrow, maybe even saturday morning drizzle might be in the forecast for the mountains early next week. some hints of thunderstorm activity popping up. nothing for us yet. showing up any rain wise. maybe with maybe that one we had on the fourth. is it? it's kind of looking that way, although we won't give it up yet, but 70s upper 70s to a few near 80, well inland, but coast and bay it'll be 60s upper 60s or low 70s, just day to day changes all the way into early next week. you guys. >> steve thank you. remember when $1 million home was a mansion here in california coming up on mornings on two? the nine one bay area county just set a new record when it comes to the median list price, where buyers will have to pony up multiple millions to get in and where other high dollar real estate markets stand. then san francisco already taking steps to enhance security following a warning from the fbi that terrorists may be planning to target pride celebrations, we'll talk with a retired california police chief about the
9:12 am
connection between possible attack and the lgb plu hey! it's your dry skin. every day we lose ceramides i need to seal in moisture. cerave delivers three essential ceramides to help restore my barrier, so i can lock in moisture, feel hydrated, and look healthy. cerave facial moisturizing lotions. fine lines? make an appointment with this. hyaluronic plumping water cream by l'oreal. with micro hyaluronic acid. hydrates better than the #1 hyaluronic gel moisturizer. in 2 weeks, lines are visibly reduced. plumping water cream by l'oreal. we're worth it.
9:13 am
9:14 am
issued a warning involving next month's pride month celebrations nationwide. federal relations say foreign terrorist groups may attempt to target pride parades and other events celebrating the lgbt community. the warning
9:15 am
issued does not specifically mention any bay area pride events, but the fbi is especially concerned isis may now be planning an attack on us soil. next month, we'll mark eight years since the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in orlando, florida that led to 49 deaths. isis praised that attack. joining us now is tommy toussaint, who's a retired police chief and analyst for us. tommy, thank you for joining us this morning. >> my pleasure. >> andre. all right. so, tommy, how do you gauge credible threats here? i mean, you know, dhs and fbi went through the trouble of putting out this long press release, but. but where does that emanate from? >> you look at the origin of where the threat came from, who made it, how they made it, what they made, why they did it. and you basically analyzed that source because a lot of times, what we're doing in policing in the last probably 10 or 15 years is intelligence based policing. and from the intelligence gathered, we put together a plan of action. >> yeah. i was wondering how that happens these days because
9:16 am
now everything is, you know, i wonder if they use maybe computers to analyze things that are searched online, because one thing that they did say in their release was they they check in on, on, on people that may have been asking about the crowds that are going to be at a parade, the security that's going to be at a parade. how does that part take place behind the scenes? as a former police chief yourself, it looks like generationally they like to brag or boast about what they do, which is why tiktok is so, popular and why facebook is so popular. >> there's a lot of intelligence that we've gathered from law enforcement during operations by just watching tiktok and listening to facebook, putting a database together based on that information, stockpiling that information and going through it analytically to figure out the origin, the source, and why these threats are being made. >> yeah, it's pretty much just like standing on the corner and advertising police just have to be able to collate that information and start from there. what measures are usually taken by law enforcement
9:17 am
locally, the state and federal level, to ensure the safety of people attending? i mean, this is a large undertaking. you have many big celebrations just here in the bay area itself. >> if we use the intelligence based network that we have, like i said from tiktok, facebook, the internet, we put. we go outd actually we care. a lot of times just having plainclothes officers mixing in the crowd, they can gather a lot of intelligence because the people who are making these threats and their credibility, they're out there interacting with the community as well and gathering information. they're doing their risk assessment. and a risk assessment is very important to understand what risks are available in the bay area community and the lgbtq community. we assess those risks and then take the precautions to protect everybody that may be at risk. >> yeah, we mentioned earlier
9:18 am
that isis did praise the attack that happened at the nightclub, the pulse nightclub in orlando eight years ago. so i suppose the federal law enforcement that's gathering this intelligence, the fbi, dhs, they use instances that happened at pulse nightclub and evaluate even people here, not just isis, maybe abroad, but people that may be mentioning things online here in the united states as well. are they monitoring that? >> that's correct. we have a we have unfortunately, domestic associates of this violent behavior who, for whatever reason, which is generally illogical, will want to be a part of something and some some ideological belief that they've gathered somewhere in their life. they want to do that. but i got to tell you, we have some of the best intelligence networks, more than just the fbi . cia is also involved because it's international. we have some very good intelligence. and once we put it together and we have
9:19 am
it now, we can act upon the intelligence. and i think prevention is the best. you don't know who may or may not be there, but as long as you're interacting and law enforcement is really good about having, operatives there to make sure that the intel that they gather is credible. and if they need to act upon it, they'll be ready to act upon it. >> so, tommy, you know, people are going to be heading to these things, these celebrations in droves, you know, and obviously, you don't want to be totally overwhelmed by thinking about being, cautious at these things. but what are specific precautions or safety tips that you, as a former police chief, would recommend to individuals that are attending these events? >> it first of all, enjoy yourselves. you're there to celebrate. you're not there to be looking around, but i will caution all of you when you go nowhere. your exit points are, i'm sure law enforcement will make sure that they have the exit points clearly marked. know your exit points. know who's around you. just look around you can smile. enjoy yourself. have
9:20 am
a great time and but know your surroundings. if you see something, say something. if it's suspicious, looking suspicious to reasonability but don't forget what you're there for your purpose to enjoy, and relax and have fun. but also be aware of your surroundings. know who's around you, who's screaming and yelling. if you hear somebody screaming and yelling something that's anti your purpose, then you need to be aware of that person. >> tommy, you know, obviously as we mentioned, these are huge, huge undertakings security wise here. so it you know it needs a layered approach obviously from community leaders, advocacy groups allies working together with police. can you talk a little bit about that part of things and how that can contribute to helping keep people safe? >> andrea, it's a really good question, political government leaders, politicians let law enforcement handle the planning,
9:21 am
the operational, believe me, police chiefs all in northern california understand that, everybody's going to be watching. they understand. and the deployment of their personnel, they understand this and that. do not get into the way of allowing them to do that. they will brief you. they will keep you informed. they will let you know what's going on, but allow them to perform the law enforcement public safety, first responders actions. >> tommy tucson is going to be busy. june for sure, thank you so much for your insight into analyzing these events here. and letting people know what they can keep in mind, what to look out for and not to really panic, but just to be aware of everything you head to these massive events. thank you so much for your insight. we appreciate it. >> you very welcome, andre. have a great day to coming up on mornings on 2 to 9. >> a peninsula man frustrated with police how he was able to track down a stolen car, and why he says the criminal justice system failed him. and later pro-palestine demonstrators at
9:22 am
one bay area university are dismantling their encampment. the agreement they reached with the school's president and what a ok at t
9:23 am
9:24 am
through the city. along the way they passed ghost bikes, bikes painted white that stand as memorials at deadly crash sites.
9:25 am
>> i would like to see san francisco be a city that has zero ghost bikes. >> someone is killed in the community. it really hurts all of us, even though we may not even know the person. it really because we always feel it could be one of us that can be killed. >> the group is also calling on the city to take a more proactive measure to ensure bikers safety. things like more cameras and protected bike lanes. members also remind all cyclists to wear their helmet and follow the rules of the road. >> a man whose truck was stolen in redwood city, expressing frustration with oakland police, who he said didn't offer much help. a group of thieves stole the victim's dodge ram pickup truck yesterday. the owner used a bluetooth tracking device to track his car to east oakland. the victim says he called oakland police several times, but he did not get any help, so he decided to call ktvu. and when we contacted police, things seemed to speed up a bit, telling them i could see the truck. >> i have a tracker, i can remote start it. i can turn on the lights and they're saying too busy, don't care. it wasn't
9:26 am
until the news got involved. we're all sitting there, kicked into high gear. >> an hour later, he received a call from redwood city saying that oakland police had his truck taken to a tow yard. ktvu present when he went to that tow yard to retrieve his truck. no word on any arrests, and the victim says he is worried the thieves might come back to try and steal his truck again. >> technology is replacing metal keys when it comes to starting newer cars, but it's also making it easier for thieves to drive off with your vehicle. many newer cars use a wireless key fob and push button start up. the fob continues to send signals even when it's not activated. automakers say car thieves are able to use a portable device that picks up a faint signal from the app from the fob, and a house or a parking lot. they say you can prevent such vehicle thefts by using a signal blocker or using a physical deterrent, something like a steering wheel lock. may is bike to bike month in today's bike to everywhere, i almost said bike to work. it used to be called bike to work. it's called bike to everywhere day. all over the bay area, cities have put together special energizer
9:27 am
stations for bikers. one of those is located at the orinda bart station. here, organizers are giving out free smoothies and special bags. the goal is to encourage riders to get out and connect with other bicyclists, trying to make it feel communal for people to get out of their cars, to feel accessible to a lot of the resources that we have around us, and to feel like there's a little bit of a support structure for people. this is the bay area's 30th annual bike to wherever day. there are more than 80 energizer stations open today across the east bay. >> well, it's one of the most common health conditions and a leading cause of disability nationwide. coming up on mornings on 2 to 9, we'll talk with a doctor about what causes arthritis and the resources available for those who are suffering. then, petty with a purpose. the reason a monterey county man is testing the rules of the fine print by paintin a picture of his boat on
9:28 am
9:29 am
9:30 am
the skyline with some clouds, but also some sun is breaking through. you heard steve say that some of the overcast will burn off, and some of it might not. along the coast. a man in monterey county found a clever way to keep his boat out of sight. after being ordered to do so. the city of seaside ordered him to build a proper driveway and cover his boat. he'd be
9:31 am
keeping it. i was keeping it on a dirt patch there next to his house, so he built a fence. then he had his neighbor paid a lifelike image of the boat on it. he said he wanted to protest in a creative, funny way while still complying with the order. the story has gone viral, and so far the city seems to be okay with it, or at least the city hasn't said anything yet. >> good, i love it. me too. applause all around. >> i am not going to hate all that, but i love i love the creativity. so an hoa you think something like that? well, he said the city. yeah, but hoa is normally will do things like that, you know. and they'll say you can't have this, you can't have that right for no reason. some of them very petty at least. you know, in my past experiences where i've owned properties in hoas. but i won't go into that. let's move on to this. here are some of the results of our poll so far that we mentioned earlier this hour. we're asking you, do you think homeowners should be able to sell adus set straight from their homes? and yeah, well, the no's still have it 93. no, it'll create problems. so we're talking about selling the adus,
9:32 am
not renting them like most people probably do. yes, it will help housing just 7% right now, probably because you have that small piece of land in the backyard that's going to be owned. you're sharing it. who knows? the neighborhood might not want it. you know, parking issues, depending on where you live, to scan the qr code at the top right hand corner of your screen, or just head to ktvu.com/vote to cast your vote. >> new this morning, governor gavin newsom is at the vatican as part of a summit on fighting climate change organized by pope francis. he's one of three us governors who were invited to attend ktvu. rasmus explains what he's doing there and the goal of the summit itself. >> ali well, early this morning, governor newsom spoke before an auditorium full of policy makers and researchers from around the globe. they all gathered at the vatican for a three day summit to discuss climate change and what to do about it. the goal come up with ideas, solutions and an overall blueprint on how local governments can make themselves more climate resilient in the face of more extreme weather and other political challenges. at the end of the summit, participants will take that list of ideas to the
9:33 am
united nations. now, newsom spoke on the second day of this three day summit. the governors of massachusetts, new york and boston's mayor were also invited to attend and speak. the conference is supposed to be a political. the pope does not endorse political candidates directly, but during newsom's remarks this morning, he talked about our state's commitment to clean energy despite any changes in national politics or the presidency. we're going to regardless of what happens at the federal level. >> and if there's anything i want to impress upon you is the stability of california's relationship to the issue of changing the way we produce and consume energy and the issue of environmental stewardship, regardless of what happens at the national level, we are a trusted and stable partner. >> tomorrow, governor newsom will head to bologna, a city in northern italy, in one of the largest cities in that country. he's expected to sign a partnership with some local leaders there to work on ways to reach 100% clean energy and
9:34 am
share ideas on energy independence. now, the governor's office says that the trip to italy is being paid for through a nonprofit called the california state protocol foundation, which gets its money from private donations. >> andre ali, thank you. student protesters at san francisco state university are taking down their encampment after reaching an agreement with the school's president. they say school officials agreed to make its investment portfolio more transparent and will divest from any company that makes weapons. immediately after the announcement, protesters started packing up their tents. student organizers say this agreement does not address all of their demands, but call it a strong first step. >> the only demand that we haven't currently met is declared declaring it a genocide, calling it what it is, which is still very important and something that we're going to continue to work on through the summer and into the fall. >> the organizers, the organization, organizers, organizers also say they're working on bringing all csu students together to make a system wide change. >> the artist who created an iconic sculpture at san jose
9:35 am
state spoke to student demonstrators, who said of encampments this week at the foot of his protest piece, now, this statue has always been meant to be of service to you so that you could use use it for your advocacy, like rigo 23 created the statue following track and field showing track and field stars. tommie smith and john carlos raising their fist in the black power salute at the 1968 olympic games. the two athletes attended san jose state. the artist told us. the sculpture includes an empty spot representing student activism. >> this monument at the center of san jose state university celebrates the very thing that's happening right now. tommie smith and john carlos were students here. they paid a very personal high price for the bravery of their action in mexico city. >> the artists visit followed a statement by san jose state saying tommie smith and john
9:36 am
carlos did not approve of the statue being used as part of the encampment. but the statement added that smith and carlos support the right to free expression and peaceful protest. >> now to one of the most common health conditions nationwide and a leading cause of disability. a cdc report says 1 in 4 americans suffers from arthritis. this is arthritis awareness month and we want to learn more about the resources available for those who are suffering. let's get some insight by welcoming doctor eleanor anderson anderson, the chief of rheumatology at kaiser san leandro medical center. thanks for being here, doctor. >> thank you for the opportunity. >> i think most people hear arthritis and they think, oh, that's for my grandparents very young people can be affected. >> absolutely. it can begin for some in childhood and even in people under 50. but of course arthritis does increase with age and it can be debilitating. >> we've all heard of people saying, oh, you know, my, my knuckles ache or i'm having a hard time doing fine motor. how does it present itself in the beginning? >> great question. so one of the key features, of course, is pain. i think many people are
9:37 am
familiar with that sort of a deep, aching pain. but patients can also experience changes in mobility. so for example, difficulty going down stairs or pain going down the stairs. in the case of knee problems, or difficulty doing fine motor things because of hand arthritis and of course the ubiquitous back pain. so that's one set of symptoms. other patients can also get a little bit of stiffness sometimes in the morning or sometimes as it worsens through the day. >> do you find that arthritis is something people tend to ignore or explain away, and really only address when it gets very bad? >> you know, i think that's really true. i think that people tend to accommodate and kind of get used to a level of pain and sometimes don't realize that things may be progressing or more importantly, it may be a different form of arthritis. that's not just general arthritis. and so it's important not to ignore those subtle changes. >> and there is help available. let's talk about medicine. medical advances. >> there are lots of medical advances. of course, it depends on the kind of arthritis that the person has for osteo or the
9:38 am
more general form of arthritis. we really focus on managing the symptoms and improving function, where the immune system is really reacting against the joints. in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, we actually have very targeted medicines that can help improve function and prevent damage to the joint, which of course, you alluded to. we want to prevent and stop disability if possible. >> i have a friend who goes in for shots to help with her arthritis. this is one of the options that's out there. >> yes. so steroid injections most commonly. and those are done really for symptomatic relief. they certainly don't stop progression or cure but they can help control those symptoms. >> do we know what causes arthritis. >> so yes that's a that's a really great question. since there are so many forms there are different targets for in the case of general arthritis, i like to think of nature nurture. so there are genetic tendencies. but of course our environmental factors as well. we know that we're aging. we know that we have a problem with obesity and weight gain in this country. and
9:39 am
so those things actually put undue stress on the joints. so those are risk factors. and in the case of our other forms of arthritis, there are other genetic components that can raise that risk. >> when i was reading up about arthritis, i learned that just one extra pound that i'm carrying on my body can lead to 4 pounds of stress and weight on some of my joints, like my knees . yes, it's a sobering number. >> yes, it's one of my favorite things to counsel patients on, though, because the opposite is also true, which is if i'm able to lose 1 pound, i can take that 4 pounds of pressure off my knees. i can take 6 pounds of pressure off of my hips and so small changes can have big impacts. and i think that's the take home message i try to encourage patients with. >> are people able to manage arthritis and live a productive, active life? >> i would say that's our goal. it's not just to manage pain. and again, in the cases where we actually have to target the immune system causing the attack in the joints, we do that precisely so people can function, continue to work, continue to do activities that
9:40 am
they enjoy. it's so very important. >> you mentioned obesity is one factor that exacerbates arthritis. are you seeing arthritis in younger and younger patients these days? we've talked so much about the childhood obesity epidemic. >> so we do see it. you know, about 3% of people in the 25 to age range can get arthritis. and again that number goes up. but we absolutely see arthritis across the spectrum. it just happens to be more prevalent or more common as we age. >> okay. it's an important thing to just listen to your body if something is different don't explain it away. >> yes. and it's definitely if i look and i observe that my hands look puffy or swollen, they seem warm. or one key symptom i like to share is if we feel like our hands are moving through wet glue, where they just won't loosen up as they should, that can indicate stiffness and indicate a more serious form of arthritis that we would want to get checked. >> okay, it's important to talk to your doctor and also to hear from you, doctor anderson, thank you so much for your expertise this morning. >> thank you again.
9:41 am

know what? budget friendly that rings true to a lot of us. nothing that's going to break the bank. what have you got? >> yeah, well, listen, keep in mind, memorial day is a holiday weekend. the unofficial beginning of the summer season. so there are going to be some restrictions around some of the deals you see out there. but flexibility is going to be key. sal if you travel saturday or better still, sunday versus say friday, you're going to see some value opportunities. so i picked a couple of spots that i love that do offer some last minute opportunity for my fellow procrastinators, beginning with mendocino county, we i know we've talked about mendocino county before, sal, but yeah, 150 miles north of the bay area. so two and a half, three hours north of where you might be. right now, but yeah, listen, 130 miles of coastline, great little , towns. this is the town of point arena, which is just a beautiful coastal enclave there, home to a lighthouse that dates back 151 years, where you can spend the night. but a lot of other great little boutique properties there as well. the redwoods. when was the last time we visited redwoods? forest time. maybe go back and visit visit the there at there in
9:47 am
mendocino county. a couple of events over memorial day weekend. there's a folk festival , there's a couple of little festivals depending on the town you're in. and as we usher in summer, we've got the film festival up there next week. we've got a big music event in july. so i say mendocino county is a last minute jaunt for memorial day weekend. sounds pretty good. you know, i just went to palm springs, by the way. >> i really loved it down there. believe it or not, i hadn't been there before, and now i want to go back. i didn't get my way onto that tram they have because they played golf. but, you know, it's beautiful down there. but it gets really hot in the summer. what's it like in memorial day? >> so listen, memorial day represents sort of the beginning of the value season down in what i call greater palm springs. nine different communities out there in the southern california desert, palm springs, one of them, rancho mirage, indian wells, coachella, so nine communities. but yeah, this is a haven for wellness, travelers, if you're looking for these state of the art spas experiences, if you're looking for those nature trails, that's the way to go. this is video i
9:48 am
took when i did that tramway sal, which i absolutely love, because you're going up to the top of the mountains. there the san jacinto mountains, you go from about 2500ft on the on the desert floor, 8500ft above 30 to 40 degrees cooler. you got 50 miles of hiking trails up there. so it's almost like two vacations in one. you can do the golf and the pool scene down in the desert floor, and within ten minutes you're up in this beautiful, nature, area up there as well. so a lot going on. and you've got those nonstop flights out of airports like oakland and san jose and certainly sfo that take you into that little airport there in palm springs that makes traveling down there a lot easier. >> all right. last one here, what about this? might seem ridiculous, but what about las vegas on memorial day? too hot, too expensive. what do you say? >> okay. so expensive. yes. on a friday. saturday stretch, you're going to see that influx of vacationers there in las vegas. however, saturday and certainly sunday, you'll see hotel drops, hotel rates drop 50% or more. so if you can cash in on that tuesday after memorial day as an
9:49 am
off day or maybe take work on the road, you can do some value, particularly sunday onward, but again, you're getting those, nonstop flights out of the bay area into las vegas, affordable flights, for sure, especially in the second half of the memorial day weekend. and you're seeing pool parties galore in places like the mandalay bay, the wind, the cosmopolitan of las vegas. you've got stage acts from ringo starr to carrie underwood to kool and the gang all throughout memorial day weekend. i did vegas out with my nine year old daughter. she's like, that's what you wanted to spend her ninth birthday? because she kept hearing me and my wife talk about it. we did a lot of pre-research. if you're taking the kids to a lot of research ahead of time, do they offer kids menus? not all restaurants do, but is that hotel the appropriate hotel? does that show the right hotel for my kids? oh yeah, and if you do a lot of pre-production, this pre-research, you can have a pretty good time. a little luck on your side style. you never know. >> okay, i lied, i have one more thing because i would recommend legoland. i've been down there when my kids were younger and it's wonderful. it doesn't have the same crowds as disney. it doesn't have all those unruly
9:50 am
teenagers running around the park. so you know, legoland also has a, you know, a water park there is. what is it like on memorial day? >> so a big event happening on friday the 24th of may as we usher memorial day weekend. we've got the north america's first lego world parade happening there. but yeah, this is part of north san diego county. i used to live down there. i love that northern part of the county, these great little coastal enclaves, la jolla, del mar, encinitas, cardiff by the sea, carlsbad certainly where you'll find legoland california. so family friendly for sure, there's a great hotel there, the fairmont grand del mar, which is, a luxury property, triple-a five diamond, but also very family friendly. depending on on your budget there, they've got a couple of movie under the stars events and music events over memorial day weekend. so a lot lots of budget options. and i think the coastline in that northern san diego county area, sal among the prettiest in the entire state of california. and again into that san diego airport, you got plenty of flights out of the bay area as well, with airlines like united
9:51 am
and frontier and alaska. so, some again, last minute options for sure. you got to stay flexible to find the best deals, but some areas within the state and not too far away, you're talking vegas that can offer some some good last minute opportunity. >> all right. last quick, question. i like santa barbara a lot. you can drive there. you don't have to, you know, necessarily fly any availability with the hotels. >> yeah. so again, some restrictions for especially that friday, saturday santa barbara does have their third night free from motion going on during the summer. so for a lot of the hotels, you're going to see. >> well i thought they would say, all right, i guess we dropped gabe there, travel expert gabe sagdi. i thought something was wrong with my earpiece, but those are good suggestions. and definitely consider some of those coming up on mornings on two. the nine. we've been talking about disneyland's expansion a lot over the last couple of weeks, and while the plan is full of vague promises on the specifics, one thing is for sure the new land disney ceo is confirming is coming up next
