he is not particularly popular in california. it comes more out of hillary's hide than bernie sanders. i think he makes the race closer and gives sanders a better shot. if he should choose to jump in, the threshold of victory would be probably in the mid to high 30s. bernie sanders could potentially get to that level. if you had a two-way race, hillary is probably still the favorite, unless she's indicted or something else. >> biden, although he gets 15% in your pole, 63% want him to get in. they think that would be a good thing. what does that tell you? >> i think democrats would like the attention shifted to the democratic candidates. they would like more debates. the republicans have been dominating the media in terms of the debates and the discussion. they want democrats to start voicing and i think biden would contribute to that. >> i went back eight years and looked at your 2007. who was ahead, do you remember at this point? >> probably not the winner. >> jewrudy juliani. >> it's really too soon. so much depends, in califor

next, a look at our recent visit to santa rosa, california. you are watching american history tv, all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. gaye: sonoma county's agricultural history, i guess you could say, began with wine. the first vines planted here were by general vallejo. at the mission before general vallejo, probably in the late 1820's or early 1830's, which is a very long time ago. they were mission grapes, and nobody in their right mind would make wine out of the now, but they did then because that is what they had. but the wine industry really significantly began in the 1850's, when a man bought property in the sonoma valley and started a winery that he called buena vista winery. that is the birthplace of what we now know as california wine culture. he didn't plant the first grapes. somebody was already growing grapes when he came. he got interested in european varietals in 1863. the state established a wine commission because people were getting interested in that. they sent him to europe and he brought back varietal cuttings of europe

a state like california, a country like california, that's the way it feels. in a state like california where you have so much diversity and immigrants from all over the world, there are countries where the country of origin of the individual may have documentation that is appropriate for that country but does not meet the security features that our state requires specifically for the implementation of the bill. moving in that direction for california with a large population of undocumented individuals who are seeking drivers licenses, it could result for us in less wait time and more expedited process and the ability to serve all customers, including applicants more efficiently. people get very discouraged when they go to the ticket window without an appointment and it ends up being several weeks and months before they can get direction about the appropriate documentation. because of the large number of empty --ming to the the dmv it could be several , months. as a worst-case scenario, the dmv is very sensitive to that, the legislature as well. we are excited

in 95% of the cases, it tends to point down towards southern california. and that's where we will get the heaviest rainfall. but what would that mean for the bay area? at this point, it means that the south bay would have the highest chance of getting these el nino impacted storms, and have the highest risk of flooding the way the scenarios are pointing right now. we'll have more details on the storm this weekend in about 15 minutes. >> thanks very much. we plan to track every move el nino make this winter and you can as well. go to our nbc bay area app, click on weather to get the latest information. >> some of the bay area's top water wasters are in the spotlight tonight. east bay mud has released the names and addresses of those using way too much. the list of the district's 1,000 worst water wasters is causing a stir. many live in alamo and danville. you may recognize their names. topping the list, former chevron executive george kirkland. reports say he used 50 times more than the average customer. we spoke to kirkland last night at his home in florid

matsui from california. >> thank you very much for yielding. peter lee, thank you for coming to testify today. and let me reiterate, the affordable care act is working. california is an early adopter in so many areas, not the least of which is health care. we have moved from paying for volume to paying for value. and to reform our system to make sure that everyone has access to quality affordable health care. covered california is an integral part of that, and i'm happy to say over 41,000 in my district of sacramento and nearly 2 million californians obtained coverage from 2012 to 2014. that's an average of a 5% reduction in the rate of uninsured. in sacramento, in 2012, 18% were uninsured. in 2014, it was down to 12%. that rate is likely to be lower in 2015. we need to continue to work to bring those numbers of uninsured down. by supporting the advancement made by covered california and other exchanges not by moving backward. thank you, and i yield back. >> gentle woman yields back. i know on our side, any members want to speak? i know mr. wal

this is california. at one pont we had 9,000 light nick strikes yesterday in california. we even got some strikes out there many morning. i-40 from barstow into the arizona. for the weekend. pretty quiet today. mild through the pacific northwest. much of the country cools off this weekend. not too many problems in california. arizona will have to watch the four corner region for pattern. the only exception where it's still going to be a little initially warm is from yuma towards blies. shocking if anything as extreme in california today as we did yesterday. >> good news. >>> an early release from prison for the blade runner. we've got the details. plus this takes the cake for play of the week. but could it be the play of the year? wait till you see this. >>> evacuations in central texas as the wild fire destroys nine homes. governor gregabo abbot declared state of disaster. and this blaze east of us aen is austin is threatening 150 homes. and the navarro fire is 90% contained. and the pope's popularity among americans has soared following his visit to the u.s. last month.

california will not be making history after all. until just a few days ag >> california will not be making history after all. until just a few days ago it appeared bakersfield kevin mccarthy would become speaker of the house of representatives with minority leader nancy pelosi both leaders would be from the same state for the first time. kevin mccarthy with drew just before the vote. now we'll talk about what happened and where we go from here. kevin mccarthy seemed like the logical choice. we were talking about how it seemed like we were going be making history in california. >> fooled a lot of us one more time. little red face. not only me but a lot of americans as well. why? what happened here? with the departure of john boehner the speaker it was logical really that the second-in-command, mccarthy would be the one to go into that spot. but no, no. for 40 members of the far right sometimes known as the tea party caucus the freedom caucus in other words, mccarthy was suspect as too moderate. bingo. >> right. at first mccarthy seem

watches from california all the way into colorad watches from california all the way into colorad watches from california all the way into colorado. we're going to be watching this very closely. rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour. this includes phoenix, tucson and las vegas. plus we have a big change coming. big massive arctic air dropping out of canada. 57 million people under some sort of flood -- i should say frost freeze advisory. temperatures from 10-20 degrees below average through sunday morning and to add insult to injury, lester, we're looking at snow into new england and parts of upstate new york. some areas could be looking by sunday morning, 1-3 inches, lester. >> al, thank you very much. >>> back inside with other news. including the scary scene in houston when a massive scaffolding collapsed at an apartment complex under construction. at least six workers were rescued and placed on stretchers and rushed to the hospital. none of the injuries are considered life-threatening. no word yet on what caused the collapse. >>> with one controversy seemingly settled, donald trump ha

third we have erica contreras who joins us from california, the golden state of california where she is chief of staff to senator ricardo laura, the california state senate appropriations committee chair who is also a key sponsor of the state law ab-60 that created an alternative driver's license that went into effect earlier this year. and finally we have my colleague me shell waslin who led the research team. i'd like to start now by turning over to michelle the opportunity to share with you findings of our report and to frame our discussion. >> good afternoon, thank you, adam. so we conducted research on all of the states that are currently issuing driver's licenses to unauthorized immigrants. we analyzed their laws and legislative reports. we spoke to dmv and other state and local officials and we spoke to other experts about their experiences implementing these laws. so that we could analyze the critical decisions that they made and the diverse they proechs that they took. while we also looked at who made those decisions. so in some states the legislators put very specific instr

they are rare to the southern california coast. experts are urging the public to report any sightings of the snake and be cautious if they see one. >> hopefully they don't make it to northern california. >> advice taken. see one of those, don't touch it. >> that man didn't care at all. holding the snake's tail. >>> our forecast, jeff. some changes on the way. >> yeah. we do for this weekend. i don't live anywhere near the coast. but i'll be keeping a close out for that sucker. the changes include a new system developing offshore. the one that brought us heavy rainfall in southern california is kicking off towards the east. the latest storm system is about 200 miles offshore. it has a decent amount of rainfall with it. we will track the rainfall chances coming up. we'll take you outside the sky camera network. and the biggest change right now. i know you felt it. the much chillier temperatures at this hour. currently coming in with 63 degrees across the south bay. 64 in the east bay. san francisco, 59. and already down to 56 in the

we just heard vicky lay out the thinking behind the california law. do you think it is going to have the desired effect? >> no, i think it's going to be highly counter productive. i regard this as one of the worst pieces of legislation i have ever seen. everybody knows that the 16% gap or the 22% gap is a gross figure. you have to correct. the factors mentioned had to do with experience, continuity of work ade indication. if you look at the statute none of them are admissible to correct these gaps. you will always find some kind of residual. this will be compounded because once the individual cases are brought, the administrator can bring it into class action. then they are entitled to recover expenses from the employer, but not vice versa. it is also the case when you are trying to make the comparables, you can make them outside the workplace to other peoples. you do not know which of the outside comparisons will be seized upon after the fact. if you are trying to figure out what is going on, the most the gender gap is, and most of it is explained by

now it's over the desert southwest and out of california. and they are getting some rain out there in arizona and it will move into the new mexico. right now toward mount diablo 77 at concord in the city 67. san jose 74. santa rosa 75. let's visit to the tropical island of hawaii. looks good. there's the big island. a little volcanic island chain that's out there in the pacific. but when we pull back, look at what's just south of the island. hurricane ojo. the winds are minimal a category 1 hurricane. it's not a threat to the island. the surf will be up and they might get some rain but it won't score a direct hit. in fact, it's moving in a really strange direction projected trajectory of this takes it right up into the central pacific by thursday. that's never happened this late in the hurricane season in october. it's unprecedented. they have been keeping records since 1949 and the idea of a hurricane moving up into the central pacific and hold together long enough to still be a minimal hurricane is weird. it's not a threat to the californi

covered california, the most of any state. despite call center and website woes, california had the highest enrollment in 2014, but only retained 65% of its 2014 enrollees. this year, california's enrollment numbers reached 1.4 million, falling 300,000 short of expectations. cms awarded the state of connecticut approximately $176 million in federal establishment grants, and as of september 2015, approximately 96,000 individuals were enrolled in a plan. only 50% of enrollees were previously uninsured. the state of oregon received $305 million in federal grant dollars exchange, cover oregon. despite this heavy investment, cover oregon was dissolved early this year and transferred its responsibilities to the department of consumer and business services. the state is currently operating as a federally supported state-based marketplace and relies on healthcare.gov. we are here today to understand the challenges these state exchanges face. why are they struggling to become self-sustaining, especially given the extraordinary taxpayer

history taught by an instructor from the university of california at davis. it's a demanding workload that challenges, stimulates, and ignites the mind of some of californias most hardened criminals. he is 16 years into a sentence of 30 years to life in californias most notorious prison. and he is working towards his associate agree. he is learning about imperialism and much more at the prison university project. >> it shows me i have the ability to learn and succeed and be better. >>reporter: this is the only on-site higher education program in any california prison. about 330 are enrolled and about 200 are on the wait list. instructors from stanford, ucberkelec went other schools volunteer their time. it's funded by private donations. word has spread among inmates and beyond these walls that this program can help lay the foundation to build a new beginning on the outside, a life that would include better job prospects, more life skills, and a renewed sense of home, confidence, and sense of worth. >> james houston is an example of the transformation. after s

at the time they were told by the state of california to proceed but that california was going to test these vehicles to make sure that the fix was effective and it was not effective based on the subsequent testing by california air resources board. >> did you conduct any further evaluation of their conclusions and proposed solutions to advance the recall? what was the operational process you had in interacting with them? discussions, conversations? how did that go back and forth? >> epa and california have a strong partnership when it comes to oversight and compliance. sometimes california takes the lead on these matters, sometimes epa takes the lead. for example, last year we had the lead with respect to the hyundai kia investigation and subsequent action, california volunteered to take the lead on this matter. and what happened during 2014 is what is happening right now as we speak. which is trying to determine what is the right recall solution to address these excess emissions. it was vw's responsibility to propose a fix, they did so and those fixes did not work. so my team partici
