California's ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 hits red light | ABC10+ Tonight
ABC10
[{'start': '6.590', 'end': '7.130', 'text': "Hello, I'm Laura Painter. You're watching ABC 10 Plus tonight. A man is dead, shot by Manteca police after allegedly ramming cars at an in and out parking lot. The new details in the investigation. Then we hit the back roads. John Bartel takes us to the Humboldt coast to explore the unique ecosystem thriving in the coastal dunes. ABC 10+ tonight starts right now. New information tonight on a story we've been following since yesterday. Yeah, a man who was shot by 5 police officers in a busy parking lot in San Joaquin County has died. ABC 10's Gabrielle Poorres has the story from Mantica. That man has been identified as 69 year old Charles McGonigal of Manteca. The police department and district attorney's office are still conducting their own investigations into the deadly shooting, but tonight we are learning new information about how a trip to In and Out ended with a deadly confrontation with police. By daylight Thursday, there was not much left of the scene in this parking lot off Yosemite Avenue in Manteca, just skid marks where police say McGonagle's car rammed into patrol cruisers. Normal business has returned to the In and Out, and so has Diego Usman. He witnessed it all just before 5 p.m. Wednesday. He says In N-Out refused to take McGonagall's drive-through order, and he got aggressive. Police say workers refused to serve him when they saw a beer can in McGonigle's car after he crashed into another customer. Gusme says the suspect hit at least 2 others, including the first Manteca police officer, to show up. Several officers showed up and there was a standoff where they did a great job trying to negotiate. They had a drone up. He was not cooperating, was not listening. They tried to de-escalate the situation, but after nearly 20 minutes, McGonigle drove towards them again and 5 officers opened fire. It was his decision that chose to put the officers in this situation. The deadly shooting captured on camera. We pause the video right before more than 20 shots ring out. What the officers are trained to do fire until the threat stops. Us wishes it all ended peacefully, but believes police took the right action. Now it'll be up to a team of investigators to decide. They were forced to take action to prevent them from being harmed and any of the observers from being harmed in Manteca, Gabriel Porras, ABC 10. And the officers involved in the shooting have been placed on a 3 day leave before being interviewed by investigators. It was a tense day at the Capitol amongst California lawmakers on the assembly floor as they argued about amendments to a bill addressing child sex trafficking. This week, AB 379 introduced by Democrat Assembly member Maggie Crell, passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee, but with amendments, the amendments removed portions of the bill addressing soliciting sex from a minor between the ages of 16 and 17. Assembly Republicans fought back this morning by asking for that portion to be put back into the bill. It takes away the ability of prosecutors to actually Prosecute and punish individuals who purchase 16 and 17 year olds. That at the end of the day is the plain English legal standing of what you're about to do. Democrats reiterated that it is a felony if an adult contacts a minor to pay for sex and that Republicans are just playing politics. The amendments to the bill also remove Krell as the author, replaced by Democrat Assembly member Stephanie Nin and Nick Schultz, who say the goal of this bill with its amendments is to protect vulnerable children. If you do not vote for this today. What you said that you cared about 16 and 17 year olds was a lie. That you don't care because these amendments include the 16 and 17 year olds that you raised your mind and you talked so much about. Ultimately, the amendments to the bill passed 55 to 21 with the bill's original author, Assembly Member Krell, voting no. This bill now moves to the Appropriations Committee. All right, California's ban on the sale of new gas powered vehicles by 2035 just hit a red light. The House of Representatives voted today to undo a waiver from the EPA that helped pave the way for the ban. It's Becca Hobbecker is in studio to drive this home for us, and Becca, I, I feel like we just talked about this. Not too long ago, actually, yeah, you know, Alex, I stood right here in this studio back in December reporting on two waivers newly granted by the US Environmental Protection Agency that would allow the California Air Resources Board to move forward with that statewide ban. Now at the time, Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley vowed to fight it and fight, he did. In September of 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order establishing a goal that 100% of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zero emission by 2035, and all medium and heavy duty vehicles in the state be zero emission by 2045. We will be the first jurisdiction in the world. To require all new cars to be sold to be alternative fuel cars. The goal was to fight climate change, reduce pollutants that lead to smog and damage people's health, and reduce the state's dependence on fossil fuels in favor of clean renewable fuels. I don't think that's an appropriate policy. Critics, including Republican US Representative Kevin Kiley of Rockland, have opposed the ban this whole time. I don't think it's the right thing for the government to do. To order, millions of Californians what car they should drive. I think it should be up to individuals to drive the car of their choice. But in order to enact this ban, California would need to impose standards that are stricter than what federal regulations allow. In 2023, the EPA granted California a waiver, followed by two more last December. In response, Kylie posted on X, we will promptly reverse Newsom's Insane mandate in the new year, and that's just what he worked to do. Today's action really just restores common sense and says that you should be able to drive the car of your choice, and it passed with bipartisan support. Kiely spoke with ABC 10 on Thursday, the day a majority of US representatives, 200 Republicans and 35 Democrats, voted to withdraw one of those waivers. The day before, the House had already voted to withdraw the other two. Kylie is among The representatives who introduced the resolutions that using something called the Congressional Review Act would withdraw the waivers though they still need the approval of the Senate. I believe it will pass in the Senate. In response to the votes, Governor Newsom said in part, Trump Republicans are hell bent on making California smoggy again. Clean air didn't used to be political. Our vehicles program helps clean the air for all Californians, and we will continue defending it. He State Attorney General Rob Bota pointed out both the nonpartisan US Government Accountability Office and Senate parliamentarian have said the Congressional Review Act does not apply to these waivers. Banta said in part, not only would the misuse of the CRA undermine the integrity of our democratic process, but it would also be unlawful, adding his office is monitoring the situation closely, including what happens next in the Senate. I asked the offices of Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta for -- interviews today and they were not available to speak with -- me. Well, May marks Asian, American, and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Month. Tonight we are focused on Vietnam. The Vietnam War spanned more than 19 years, claiming the lives of over 3 million people, and it became one of the longest, most costly, and controversial conflicts in US history. But it's what came after that would reshape an entire generation. Tonight I want to introduce you to Jackie Wynn, who was just 3 when her family fled with nothing but hope and each other in a desperate pursuit of freedom. What my parents shared with me, life then was very simple but thriving. -- Life -- was just beginning for Harry and Tammy Wynn. They married in 1970 and would go on to have two children and dreams for the future, but the Vietnam War would threaten those dreams. Clashes with North Vietnamese regulars in the central coastal plain near Bang. Vietnam War had been raging since 1955. The communist North Vietnam government was at war with South Vietnam. The US joined the fight to support South Vietnam, but in 1973, American troops pulled out. Just two years later, communist forces captured the South's capital, Saigon, an event that marked the end of the war and Would come to be known as the fall of Saigon. -- When we -- left Vietnam right before the fall of Saigon, my father was in the military and so he knew that his life was going to be precarious if he didn't leave. He was helping out the South Vietnamese. My parents in the darkness of the night left. They were the boat refugee people. They left with the clothes on their back. We didn't have anything. At just 3 years old, Jackie and her family made a life or death decision to escape their homeland by sea, clinging to the hope of a better future for their children. They decided to head to Guam. When we got in the boat, we were sandwiched together like sardines. My mom would always tell me, you can't really breathe. The risks were enormous because had we not been successful in leaving. We probably would have been captured. And put in re-education camps and not have the life that we have here. Maybe not even be alive. The fall of Saigon ended the war but sparked one of the longest and largest refugee crises in history. Thousands died fleeing by sea while the lucky escaped to camps in Guam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Over a million would start new lives in America. -- People -- like my parents and myself, since we were part of that first wave of Vietnamese refugees who came here to the United States and settled here in California, Jackie. And her family becoming part of the 50,000 refugees housed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California. But the winds needed an American family to sponsor them. The McNanus family live in South San Diego and they adopted us, just giving us that second chance in life. We call them grandparents. The wind's long held dream of building a new life in America had finally come true, but different didn't mean easy. We didn't speak English very well. So that was the social challenge, the economic challenge. My parents didn't have college degrees. My dad worked 3 different jobs. My mother works odd and end jobs babysitting the neighbor's kids, collecting cans in the morning. Her family's journey would come to define her not just as a survivor but as a leader. -- They -- would say, we don't care what you study in college, but you make sure you go to college because that is going to be your foundation. Uh, to get out of poverty, to make something of yourself, Jackie would go on to study journalism and graduate from San Diego State University. Jackie Nguyen on the scene. -- Good -- morning. Good morning, Lisa, and good morning everyone. I've always thought being Asian American, you always have to go into the medical field, engineering, doctor, the field of journalism back then for me, I didn't think it was an option. I didn't know I wanted to be a journalist until my dad basically told me he's like. You know, you should go into journalism. In 2015, Jackie became the press secretary for the California Senate Republican caucus. Who would have thought that you would ever have this opportunity to work for the legislature. And to be part of the process to help others out there whether they're citizens, immigrants, underrepresented or marginalized communities in this position I'm in, we have an opportunity to help. She serves on several boards and recently became a trustee for Solano Community College in 2024. -- Thank -- you to supervisor Mash for being here to swear me in, the first Asian American to hold the title. I put up my right hand in my mind at that time. I was like, Dad, I really wish you were here to witness this in person to see me, but I know you're up there guiding me. In 2019, I remember getting the call. Harry Wynn passed away. My dad has always been my hero. I didn't realize that until he passed away. My whole world turned because my dad was the one who's. Always gave me the suggestions and ideas to be where I'm at today. He carried her to safety as they escaped to Vietnam and through every step of life after. I just wish that my father was still alive today. To see everything that's for me at this point in my life. My brother is a pharmacist. My sister is in sales engineering, living the very dream her parents once risked everything to give her, I think it's important for generations now to understand how much of an impact that time period made not just only in America's history but for Vietnam's history as well. I will always be Vietnamese American. That's first and foremost Jackie Nguyen, Vietnamese American. I'm an immigrant. I'm a woman I'm somebody that. Who thought that I would never have an opportunity for the opportunities that I've been given in life and so when you see opportunities out there seize them. But that spring roller coaster is now in effect, huh? Oh my gosh, we've been up and down and like we've been saying, you know, if you don't like the weather, just a few days it'll change. I know, and we're not going to be able to say that in too much longer, right? It's going to be 100 straight through or at least upper 90s, but for now we still have that variety in our weather forecast as we get right to it, we're still tracking a few of those isolated showers in Southern California. Locally it's been mostly sunny though. We're watching this weather feature off the coast. This is what's going to bring us that. Change in our weather patterns. So the weekend outlook, as you can see, is going to be cooler. We are already drop into the 70s for tomorrow. Low 70s on Saturday, slight chance for a few of us seeing those light showers. Winds will start to pick up late in the day on Sunday, and it does lead us to a rather breezy start to the next workweek. Our average high is 77 degrees, and we're going to be flirting right about at average, if not slightly below it. Speaking of below, look at the water year so far. We're below. for Sacramento executive, we're over 3 inches behind where we should be at this point. Stocked in over 1 inch and a half behind normal and then Modesto over 2.5 inches below where we should be for our water year. and it doesn't look like what we're going to get this weekend is going to provide us with that much. Now our average last rainy day is just around the corner, May 16th. That's when we usually see the last day we have at least 0.1 of an inch of precipitation, but all Uh, signs are pointing to not anything coming our way over the weekend and for the coming week as well. Highs for today, warming into the 80s to right around 90. Oroville at 91 degrees. That's going to be our warm spot. Fairfield already with that touch of that onshore flow dropping to 78, 70s in the foothills and 60s up top for this year. Right now we've got readings in the 80s. We're holding fairly steady, a little bit cooler than yesterday though. Sunny skies for Sacramento at 81 degrees. Stockton. both with sunny skies and 84, Marysville at 87 with sunshine, and then Tahoe still sunny at 62. That sunset at 7:58. We are just around the corner from seeing that sunset at 8 p.m. That happens on Saturday. Hourly weather, mostly clear skies take us through tonight. Our morning lows start us off right around 50. After afternoon highs climbing into the 70s at noontime we'll be at 70 degrees. Now the other little interesting part with that southwest wind that's already picked up for today. We're going to pull in some of that low cloudiness for tomorrow morning. You can see how that will be draped right through the I-80 line and then through parts of the Sacramento Valley. For the Sierra, we'll once again see the appearance of those isolated thunderstorms, but it's not until Saturday that we start to see more widespread action for the Sierra. Certainly not a whole lot of rain for the valley. Like I'm saying, we're barely going to be able to put anything in the bucket for rain totals, but we will see more cloud cover, cooler temperatures, and the appearance of some rain. Mixed with snow for the higher elevations. Getting onto those winds, so late in the day on Sunday is when we start to see those winds pick up, but it really ramps up here to start us off for the next work week. So just be aware we are looking at some windy conditions by the time we get to next Monday. In the meantime, a look at that extended forecast. We have those temperatures dropping on Saturday and then we're right back up into the 80s, breezy on Monday, and then of course we've got Mother's Day on the last day. You have been warned. Don't say Monica didn't and beautiful conditions it looks like, it looks like it, yeah. Oh, we're loving it. Can't complain, Monica, thank you. The nomads of the Sahara Desert may spend days climbing over dunes to find an oasis. I, on the other hand, have it much easier. Now, we're not in the Sahara. John Bartel here, making it a little pit stop at the Friends of the Dunes in Manila. Protecting the city of Eureka and Arcata from the waves of the Pacific Ocean is a long line of wind-beaten sand dunes. At the peaks of those dunes, it appears to be a wasteland. But at the bottom of those dunes, this is an oasis in here and these uh these sand dunes. Yeah, so this is um a little dune hollow. This is where we're going to see a lot of the forest species. Daisy Perez is with the conservation group Friends of the Dunes, and the forest she's talking about is home to the crooked looking Pinus canorda contorta, also known. That beach pine contor like contortion, contorted, and we can see they grow because of the wind. It just blasts them. Plants and animals in this unique ecosystem have a symbiotic relationship with the wind. The wind creates the dunes and the dunes create shelter from the wind so plants can grow, but that symbiotic relationship is being threatened by an invasive species. This is European beach grass. So this is not grass. No, we don't we don't want this grass here. European beach grass not only kills other plants, but it prevents wind from moving sand and making properly shaped dunes. Right here we're in the middle of a big restoration project, so we're trying to restore over 115 acres. For more than 40 years, Friends of the dunes. In protecting the dune ecosystem, they created the Humboldt Coast Nature Center to educate people about life in the dunes, and they maintain trails so hikers can explore. We like to call this the um the gateway to the dunes. From a distance, the coastal dunes may look like a desert, but up close, they're a remarkable refuge for plants, animals, and people to enjoy. From the Friends of the dunes in Manila, I'm John Bartel. Hope to see you on the back roads. Where am I? So in one week, an action film created by a Sacramento filmmaker will hit theaters all across the country. And when I heard Marcus Allen talk about Kerry Washington, I got really excited. Big fan. We are talking about Shadow Force. ABC 10's Marcus Allen is here now with more on why it's what to watch. Kerry Washington is such a cool person. I have this big thing. I tell everybody I believe that the universe brings kind people to kind people and everybody you're about to. From now kind people and they made a great movie. I'm biased because Joe Carnahan, the director, used to be one of my segment editors. Uh, oh, how far he's come since cutting together my Jim Denny's package. But this movie Shadow Force, shot entirely in Colombia, is gorgeous, action-packed. They don't make them like this anymore. I sat down with Kri and Omar, her co-star, to, uh, talk about my buddy Joe too. Take a listen. You too. I'm biased, but I'll tell you, this movie is awesome. I'm so happy you feel that way. I mean, lucky you that you've been friends with him for so long because he is such a character like he he is larger than life and I'm so grateful that he was able to bring his like action movie love and expertise to this project because it just, it is as exciting as it is because of Joe. Among my favorite sounds on the planet are that of Joe Carnahan's laughter. If you can ever get him laughing, it is the best for for each of you, talk about the extraordinary difference that Joe brought. You've worked with amazing directors. How is this guy different? You said that's that. Energy that Joe has, like, he's so excited for everything he does. And, and then Kerry just said he's larger than life. So even his excitement, his enthusiasm is big and loud and, and, and when you do a movie like that, that's what you need. So true, uh, and it pays off. Again, I'm biased, but you're gonna love this movie. It opens in a week. Uh, a couple of things of note. Kerry Washington, uh, thank you, Jordan for the tip. Uh, confirmed she is bringing Desperate Housewives back. Wisteria Lane is gonna be that spinoff. We'll talk about that down the road. Uh, and Joe Carnahan is currently working with Matt Damon, one of the pillars of Sacramento filmmakers. I'm also gonna throw this out here. Somebody write this down. Ryan Coogler is going to win the Academy Award this year for sinners. It's also what to watch. I said a lot, Walt, back to you. So your relationship with Carnahan goes back how many years now? Over 30 years. Long before television, he used to drop by. I did voiceovers for promos that he was doing. In a way, he's the guy that kind of got me that gig that I did over there, doing the thing at the deal before here. And your reference to Jim Denny's is the old burger place downtown. Yeah, the last thing Joe. For me was Jim Denny's, uh, you know, I went there for an eating competition. He's the guy that edited it all together. You've been a lot of places with eating competitions sometimes where there wasn't even any readily available food, you know, with me, all roads lead back to a free meal. No, they do. I know, I know so well. I'm, I'm not, I've been there too. OK. Marcus Allen, thank you. We know that in news stories are filled with challenges and hardships, but incredible things are happening each and every day, and each week, our segment Champions of Hope are sharing stories of people who are making a difference. Tonight meet high school runners who are going the extra mile to give back. What started as a small idea between 5 freshmen runners. We all wanted to be able to give back to our community as well. Turned into a big community impact. Vista Lago High School freshman Jack Armstrong, Asher Chang, Rocco Drewers, Mino Kim, and Landon Simpson co-founded Lace Up for Learning, a charity run hosted in Folsom that raises money to give back to underserved communities. We just saw that there was something that we could do, a way to give back in a way that uh. Around 100 runners signed up for their first event last year, raising over $12,000 serving over 2000 students in the area. Lace Up for Learning purchased scientific calculators, books, first aid supplies, a new projector, and food for different schools. The community is connected. Their event this year raised over $18,000 and from what these runners tell us, this is just the beginning. Not only do I get to do something with my friends that I love to do, um, doing it helps a good cause. We all extremely appreciate our community for supporting us, and, uh, we can't wait to have a great turnout in the following years to come. And don't forget to let us know when that next race is.
