West Coast Wrap, Tuesday 11/10/2026

Atmospheric river is drenching the Pacific Northwest and prompting flooding concerns across the Seattle area. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to West Coast Wrap. I'm Alex Savage. Tonight, the main flood threat in western Washington is the rising Skokomish River. This is in Mason County, west of Seattle. Here's a live look right now at the downtown Seattle area where we have seen showers on and off all throughout the day across the region. Fox 13's A.J. Jannevelle has the latest tonight on the flood threat in Mason County. Mason County is in a flood watch until Wednesday evening. You can see the rain has been coming down here all day. The focus, the Skokomish River, already at... About 16 feet, according to NOAA, which is just around that minor flooding designation, which means the possibility of some public threat. However, there is no concern for any major property damage. I got a chance to speak to some of the officials with the county who tell me around this time of year, this is something they usually deal with, with this kind of flooding. It is something they do keep an eye on. Now, it's important to note the level of the Skokomish River will only rise Tuesday night into Wednesday, It's Wednesday, but as the week goes on, The level of the river is expected to drop down. That being said, as we get towards the end of the week, Friday into Saturday, the Skokomish River height is expected to get back into that minor flooding designation, so something to keep an eye on. Reporting in Mason County, A.J. Janneville, Fox 13 News. A lot of concerns with this storm. For more, let's bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez, who is tracking this first of several atmospheric rivers that will be hitting the Pacific Northwest. Yes, it's a conveyor belt of storms. It's poised in position and ready to move in. So they've got quite a week ahead of them for the Seattle area and even dipping all the way into Medford, Oregon. Let's take a look at this particular time. You see the precipitation, the green on the screen. That's associated with that area. Low pressure tightly wound up out over the Pacific. As we zoom on in towards the Seattle area, you could. You can see the rain moving in and out all the way across borders to Canada and Vancouver. British Columbia getting hit pretty hard today as well. So far, we've seen about an inch of rain in the Seattle area today. Now, we do in the Seattle area have a wind advisory, a high surf advisory, a coastal flood advisory. All this until Wednesday at 7 p.m. Over the next 24 hours, we are talking about two to three and a half inches of rain in that particular area. of rain today. 55 degrees in Seattle, which is pretty spot on for this time of the year. Then we take you on over to the Los Angeles area. This is Santa Monica. High temperature there today was right around 70 degrees. Otherwise, it was 78 degrees at the airport at LAX. And then in the Los Angeles, where you see the blue and the green and now even the red, those are also advisories, watches and warnings all the way up into the San Francisco area, where we do have We have high tide at 11.35 tomorrow. Morning. Minor to moderate coastal flooding anticipated. And again, this advisory is in effect all the way till 4 p.m. 73 degrees today in San Francisco, slightly above average for this time of the year. Then look at this wall-to-wall sunshine in Phoenix. 83 degrees. Just lots of blue sky there with a few height and wispy clouds. OK, this is the fun stuff. Tracking these area of low pressures, pushing and driving towards the Pacific Northwest. Here's the first one. Right here, and that's where you saw nearly an inch of rain today. Here's a second one falling apart at the seams because we still have high pressure over there. But nonetheless, that's where we're going to see that two to three inches of rain coming from. Then we advance all the way into your Thursday. It's just one system after another. By Thursday. Thursday night into Friday morning, we'll start to see the rain in the San Francisco Bay area. We'll start to see some sleet and then eventually snow right there in the greater Lake Tahoe area. So between, let's say, Monday all the way till Friday, we're anticipating it looks like another quarter of an inch of rain in downtown Seattle. But we do suspect more in the outlying areas, two to three inches. Two and a half in Eureka, an inch and a half in the Bay Area, and then about a quarter of an inch in the Las Vegas area. The snow winter storm watch goes into effect on Saturday for the greater Lake Tahoe area, up to two feet of snow, about 7,500 feet. Here's your forecast for the next three days. We're calling for rain tomorrow, Seattle, sunny skies in Fresno, and 71 degrees in the San Francisco area. Gorgeous sunshine from Phoenix through Yuma all the way into Denver. Alex. All right, Roberta. Thank you. People in some parts of Arizona are just now beginning their recovery from recent flooding that caused widespread damage. Fox 10's Andrew Christensen shows us how they're coping in one community just southwest of Sedona. Well, a man that lives here in Camp Verde tells me that he has never seen the river come onto his property. As you can see, it destroyed his fence and parts of cars are even floating onto his property. And in the 20 years The fears that he's lived here, he says he's never seen flooding like this. This is how full the water was in my house as he looks at the damage in the house he just paid off. It took about six guys two days to get that out of our house and it's about three four inches thick. Pat Phillips sees the hard work he put into building his forever home. That's how it makes me feel. I mean this was our dream. Phillips says he just finished working on a few rooms in the house and what's sad I just finished this closet. I just finished it three weeks ago. I just got the elliptical. You can see the water line on the wall and the cabinets. Many things the flood destroyed are sentimental. You know what's really sad? This was my childhood dresser when I was a kid, and I kept it all my life. Now he's having to tear up his house even more to make repairs. Within the second day, we already had mold growing in here. In the meantime, he's living in his camper. So we cleaned it out, and that's our new home away from home. Oh, I'm sorry. And we pretty much are homeless. The flood in Camp Verde also affected his animals. You can see how high it was, and it took my chickens right off their roost. I couldn't get them out of here fast enough. My horses were in waist. I was out there in waist water trying to get my horses out of there. The floodwaters also washed away massive chunks of his pasture, leaving the cattle he raises without grass to feed on. That's about, what, 25, 30-foot drop? This was flat land, so instead of having like 15 or 20 cows like I had, I'll have four or five. Yeah, because that's all the property I got left through it all. Phillips says neighbors are stepping up to help each other. It's been nice to have, you know, see the community help each other and all the neighbors. We're probably tighter than we've ever been. Reporting in Camp Verde, Andrew Christiansen, Fox 10 News. Now we go to Washington, D.C., where the House of Representatives late today rejected a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. That vote was mainly along party lines. The eight articles of impeachment were brought forward by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who lost his seat in the primary to a Trump-backed candidate. They accused Secretary Hegseth of violating Congress's war powers and undermining civilian safeguards during military operations, including the bombing of a... school in Iran. He effectuated in practice the unilateral continuation of military operations against Iran, despite Congress's exclusive constitutional authority to declare war. Same kind of urgency. In a news conference earlier in the day ahead of that vote, Hegseth defended his actions, saying that Congressman Massey sought vengeance for the loss of his congressional seat. What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment. Time for one man's final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country, and most irresponsibly, the warriors who defend it. The vote sends the charges now to a committee where they likely will stall, but the drive to impeach the defense secretary could potentially pick up steam once again once Democrats take control of both the House and the Senate coming up in January. Up next here on West Coast Wrap, tonight a home in Oregon destroyed by a fire that was sparked by an e-bike battery. What the family is saying about just how quickly the flames spread. We have an update tonight on Alaska's controversial U.S. Senate race. Democrat Mary Peltola got a significant bump in her lead after an update to the ongoing vote count. Here's a look at where the count now stands. You can see Peltola is ahead of Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by about 2,500 votes. At this time yesterday, she was ahead by only a few hundred. Still, though, the race is too close to call. An investigation into whether Peltola's campaign recruited a spoiler candidate with the same name as the Republican incumbent is still ongoing. And the votes are still being counted in the race for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, but the Democratic candidate is now declaring victory. Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher leads Republican incumbent Lauren Boebert by over 3,300 votes, with about 8,000 ballots still to be counted. Boebert is not yet conceding defeat. Her attorney said in a statement the campaign will continue to monitor the process and support counting every eligible ballot. Colorado counties have until Friday to finish counting the votes. And here is a live look at Capitol Hill tonight, where Republicans have chosen new leaders after sweeping losses in the midterm elections. As Fox's Rebecca Castor tells us, Democrats have not yet decided who their leaders will be when they take over Congress next year. It is my great delight now to yield the podium to your new Republican leader. Vowing to rebuild after losing the majority in Congress, House Republicans have selected new leaders who will try to right the ship in time for 2028. Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families. When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom. Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan will take the reins after his colleagues overwhelmingly selected him for minority leader over the current number two House Republican Steve Scalise. Congressman Tom Emmer will keep his role as minority whip. There is no doubt about it, Tuesday night was a tough... Election night. In the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune will become Minority Leader, despite some Republicans pushing to delay that election. Now the pressure's on for Thune to still advance his party's priorities in a democratically controlled chamber next year. I want to have a plan of what we're going to do. We clearly, I mean, something went wrong, right? We weren't listening to voters. We didn't do what we said. House and Senate Democrats will hold their leadership elections later this month. Minority leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer want the top leadership roles, but calls for change are growing. In my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be re-elected. No other House Democrats have officially stepped forward to challenge Jeffries for speaker, but Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen is considering a bid against Schumer. In Washington, Rebecca Castor, Fox News. A Utah judge has ruled additional DNA testing is required before the murder case against Douglas Stewart Carter can continue. Carter has spent more than 40 years on death row for the 1985 murder of Ava Oleson, but last year the Utah Supreme Court ordered a new trial over accusations the police and prosecutors mishandled evidence and witnesses. Earlier this year it was also revealed DNA testing did not place Carter at the scene of the crime. The judge held off on making further rulings in this case until the DNA testing is completed. The soldier who killed two people and wounded several others at a Washington music festival has learned his sentence. A judge today sentenced 29-year-old James Kelly to 70 years behind bars as well as dishonorable discharge from the army. Kelly pleaded guilty to the 2023 murders of Brandi Escamilla and Jocelyn Ruiz. Prosecutors say Kelly was at the Beyond Wonderland festival when he took magic mushrooms and became paranoid. They say he then pulled out a pistol and fired at passers-by, his girlfriend, and later police. He's expected to serve his sentence at a military prison in Kansas. Stocks were lower on Wall Street today as investors digested a hotter-than-expected inflation report for October. The Consumer Price Index showed prices rose four-tenths of a percent from September. Investors are now expecting the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by a quarter point coming up next month. The Dow today slipped by 157 points, the Nasdaq was down by 187, and the S&P 500 was down by 29 points during the session. The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil fell over 1% today to below $92 after indications from President Trump that the Iran war is, quote, effectively over. And shares of NVIDIA tumbled today over 4% after the board announced an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his affair with a Chinese tech executive. The woman is reportedly suspected by U.S. officials of funneling information and cutting-edge AI microchips to Beijing. A shareholder has now filed a class-action lawsuit in San Jose accusing Huang and his company of deceiving investors about that affair. Huang has apologized. Well, despite concerns the AI boom may be on shaky ground, Anthropic is seeking a valuation of about $1.3 trillion when it goes public. According to a regulatory filing today, the San Francisco-based company will sell 825 million shares, priced between $70 and $78. That would give Anthropic the ability to raise more than $61 billion, placing it among the biggest IPOs ever. It's expected to make its Wall Street debut later this month. The Department of Justice is suing rideshare platform Lyft over accusations the company discriminated against disabled customers. The DOJ claims the San Francisco-based company denied rides to passengers with service dogs and wheelchairs on a number of occasions. According to the $53 million lawsuit, the DOJ is arguing Lyft violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lyft has denied those allegations. An Oregon woman says an e-bike battery explosion sparked a fire that ultimately destroyed her home outside of Portland. She shared video of that scary scene with Fox 12's Michaela Armstrong. A sudden explosion. By a fire that spread in seconds. That fire came at me so fast, so hot. My house was up in flames in a blink. Like, it was seconds, not even a minute. The fire tore through Carrie Ann Peniche's Troutdale home Thursday night. She says it started with an e-bike battery from a bike she gave her 15-year-old son, Preston, for Christmas. My battery! Battery! I never even knew that a battery could do something like this, you know? No idea. The manual even says to store it inside, to charge it inside. It doesn't say keep it outside or charge it. It says to store it and charge it inside. And it wasn't even charging when this happened. It was just sitting there. Peniche and her children shared the home with Kelly Gassaway and her partner. Gassaway says Peniche came to get them out, and she doesn't know what could have happened if she hadn't. Everyone escaped. In my mind, it was equivalent to somebody launching a hand grenade into your front room. everything. For Gassaway, the hardest loss was her cat, Pax, who didn't make it out. I could have burnt my stuff myself five times over if it would have meant not losing my cat. Dang. For Beniche, the loss is devastating. She's grateful her family made it out together. I was just glad everyone was out of the house. You know, you start running through your mind like the things like that are important to you, like that you want from there. But when you look around, you're like, okay, well, everyone's safe and that's all that matters. And that was Fox 12's Michaela Armstrong reporting from Oregon tonight. Firefighters recommend you take lithium ion batteries off of chargers after they get a full charge. They also recommend that you stop using the batteries if they show any sign of damage, make popping noises, have an unusual odor, or they change color. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap tonight. Up next, two cities here in the West unveil their new professional women's hockey teams today. Here's a live look at the Las Vegas Strip. This is one of the cities getting a new team. After the break, we'll reveal the inspiration behind the team's names and logos. This video posted to social media shows how athletes on one of the newest professional sports teams here in the West found out their new team name. Today, the Professional Women's Hockey League announced Las Vegas' expansion team. It's going to be called the Vegas Vanguards. The league says the name and the Fox logo were inspired by the pioneering spirit that helped to shape the West. Team merchandise is already on sale. The Vanguards are set to play their inaugural 2026-2027 season beginning in December. And at the same time, the Bay Area's professional women's hockey league team expansion team unveiled its new name and logo today. With an aquatic theme, the team will be known as the San Jose Sea Lions. They also unveiled their new logo featuring the team's colors of orange and blue. The Sea Lions will play at the SAP Center, led by Team USA Olympic gold medalist Layla Edwards. At San Jose City Hall today, officials and members of the team celebrated the growing support for women's sports. When I was growing up in Lille as well, we only had the NHL. So we looked up to male professional athletes, which... It's not our identity, so it would be amazing to see professional women's players around us and I'm grateful that I can be that player for little girls and little boys around us too. And the team joins the three other expansion teams in Las Vegas, as we mentioned, along with Detroit, as well as the city of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada, for a total of 12 teams across the U.S. and Canada. The Sea Lions home opener at San Jose's SAP Center is coming up on December 5th. Well, Silicon Valley-based Meta is joining forces with a non-profit to help veterans. Fox's Casey Kronis reports. Tasks that may seem simple, like reading a menu or navigating an unfamiliar place, can present challenges for people with vision loss. But a new high-tech gift could offer something invaluable, greater independence. AI-powered glasses are helping bridge the gap, making everyday life more accessible. Meta has teamed up with the Blinded Veterans Association with plans to provide free Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to 130,000 veterans across the country. Here in Rosemont, roughly 50 veterans with visual impairments received that gift. They got hands-on training from Meta representatives who showed them how to use the glasses. for day-to-day tasks, including sending emails, using GPS navigation, making phone calls, listening to music, and reading. While camera-equipped smart glasses have raised privacy concerns in recent years, for people with visual impairments, the technology can bolster their sense of freedom. One veteran from Iowa who attended the event didn't realize he'd be going home with a free pair. I was surprised. I thought, okay, I obviously got to pay for them, but they said, no, it's a gift. for being a veteran. I'm here with guys I was served with in the Marine Corps. It's awesome. I mean our bond, our brotherhood, or you want to call it, is pretty close. So we spend a lot of time together as much as we can. I hope it makes them realize that the glasses are a big asset and the possibility is unlimited as to what they're going to be able to do with the glasses. A lot of veterans with low vision and blindness. They kind of become reclusive, and these glasses can show them that they can get out and do things that they used to do. We're told another veteran used the glasses to map out a golf course. The Blinded Veterans Association was founded in 1945. Reporting in Rosemont, Casey Kronis, Fox Chicago. Let's give you a live look tonight at San Luis, Arizona, just south of Yuma here, and you're watching West Coast Wrap. For the first time, we're seeing images of ICE agents arresting an influencer known as the Iranian king of Instagram. Agents picked up Farzad Tony Tutuni in Los Angeles back in October. Investigators say the Instagram user with more than one million followers has a long criminal history, including kidnapping, robbery and extortion. In 1993, an immigration judge ordered that Tutuni be deported. Investigators believe he entered the U.S. illegally again in 2011. They say he will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. Now to a showdown unfolding in the Bay Area between the Alameda County Sheriff's Office and ICE. As KTVU's Henry Lee explains, recent confrontations at the Santa Rita jail in Dublin have led top county leaders to draw the line when it comes to civil immigration enforcement. Video obtained by KTVU shows masked ICE agents in the lobby of Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, run by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. It's a scene that county officials say they've seen before in recent days and don't want repeated. The interim county council has sent a strongly worded cease and desist letter to ICE, asking agents to stay away from the jail and not conduct any civil immigration enforcement there. On the grounds, it's a public safety risk. This sign now sits outside the jail lobby, restricting access to those with appointments or official business. Top sheriff's officials say ICE agents have ignored their calls to leave and refrained from conducting enforcement at the jail and parking lot. According to the sheriff's office, an ICE agent chased someone from the parking lot to the jail lobby on November 1st, and recently two agents got into a physical confrontation. I think the county is on firm ground. It's the same as like, it's essentially a form of sanctuary city of saying, we choose not to cooperate. David Levine, professor at UC Law, San Francisco, says the exceptions will be if ICE had a judicial warrant or if there was some previous contractual agreement mandating cooperation. I think it could be enforceable. I mean, the question would be if ICE just said, oh, to heck with you and moved in, then you'd have to go to the trouble of going to court and getting a court order. To get them out. Bob Britton, a longtime critic of the Sheriff's Office over flock cameras and jail suicides, is giving the agency credit for taking a firm stance against ICE. The feds have to follow the law as well as anyone else. And the property of the county, they can set rules. As they choose. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee supports the county's action. We have our city of refuge status. We're also a sanctuary city, and we're working very closely with the county on our response. Without elaborating, Alameda County says it will take appropriate action to protect county-owned property. In the South Bay, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office put up these physical barriers outside its Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, where there has been ICE activity in the past. The Alameda County Public Defender's Office also supports what county council has done, saying they've seen ICE activity at courthouses and at Highland Hospital in Oakland. We reach out to ICE, have not heard back. The agency in the past has told KTVU that ICE-free zones are, quote, legally illiterate. Henry Lick, KTVU, Fox 2 News. We have an update tonight on the UC Berkeley student who was taken into custody by ICE at San Francisco International Airport last month. A judge yesterday ordered the release of 23-year-old Paula Albornoz-Hernandez. The Cal business student was about to board a flight with her boyfriend on October 30th when she was arrested by ICE. According to Homeland Security, her visa had expired. Her attorney says she was in the U.S. from Colombia on a valid work visa and also had filed an asylum application. The ruling means that her case will reset to where it was before her arrest. She will also be able to resume classes at UC Berkeley. A man in Southern California convicted of incest involving his teenage daughter was released from jail this week after serving less than six months behind bars. For more on this disturbing case, we're joined here in the studio by KTVU Fox 2's Heather Holmes. Heather, obviously the family is angry about his release. Yeah, they certainly are. And when you look at this, you can understand why people, even outside the family, are really upset about this. Back in May, 41-year-old Steven Chavez pleaded guilty in Ventura County to incest and providing alcohol to his 18-year-old daughter. So investigators learned in July of last year that Chavez bought alcohol for he and his daughter to drink at their home in Moorpark before having sex with her. His daughter was hospitalized following the incident, and a rape kit confirmed the presence of Chavez's DNA. She died by suicide a few months later in December. Prosecutors determined that incest was the only felony charge supported by the admissible evidence. Chavez was sentenced to one year in county jail and three years of probation in June, despite the victim's family requesting a harsher sentence. Chavez was released on Monday after serving less than six months, infuriating the victim's family. In any way, is this justice? No. No. In no way is this justice. It's infuriating to know that this is the message that you're sending to victims, that the victims don't matter, especially if they're not here anymore. Now, the Ventura County District Attorney's Office says in June it had asked for the maximum sentence of three years in prison. It says, well, this is the reality of the law here in California. Chavez will now have to complete probation and will also be required to register as a a sex offender for 20 years. Convicted sex offenders here in California have five days after their release to register their new address with law enforcement. But there's also a concern here, Alex, because Chavez's whereabouts are really unknown. And that's another problem for the victim's family and another concern, they say. And that's part of why they want to put the spotlight on this story and on his release so that whatever community he winds up in, people have kind of a heads up. Letting people know. Yeah. Heather, thank you. Appreciate it. Let's shift back now and talk about our changing weather pattern here in the West. It was a soggy day in the Seattle area. Here's a live look at the downtown area tonight. Looks like things may be clearing out, but western Washington has been dealing with heavy rain and strong winds all throughout the day today. And over the past couple of days, the first of several strong storms sweeps into the region. So let's talk more about the big picture weather-wise for the Pacific Northwest. And the rest of the West Coast, we'll bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez. Let's start up in this. The Seattle area in western Washington, they had a pretty strong storm that came through today and several more atmospheric rivers are on the way. What should people expect? You just painted a beautiful picture because you said it looked dry this evening there. Well, Seattle today picked up just nearly a full inch of rain. And so if you get that little bit of a break, as you were alluding to. That buys a whole lot of promise because you just don't want to get hit one, two, three, but they will get hit again tomorrow. In fact, I put this together for us to take a look at. Take a look at the rain moving in and out of the Seattle area. This is tomorrow night at this particular time. And you see that particular system is kind of shearing apart at the seams, but then it's going to begin to line up along the West Coast and we'll see some raindrops from Eureka all the way into Los Angeles, then sweeping into the San Diego area easily by Friday. Now, that's another system right there. You see that? It's just getting some strength and some energy as it pushes due east. We see some snow developing around the Greater Lake Tahoe area as well. So what we're anticipating is what you and I were discussing earlier, Alex, the coastal areas. What's in store? Yeah, let's talk about that. Yeah, you see from Southern California all the way through Central California into Northern California, in California. minor to moderate coastal flooding is anticipated from Wednesday all the way through the weekend, really. We do have that coastal flood advisory for the Bay Area allowed to cancel Friday, but I've got to tell you, I think it will be extended. And why? Well, because we have some high surf coming. Look at Northern California. That's not a misprint. No. Waves as big as 30 feet high. Keep in mind, this past weekend, Oregon saw 33. Right. They had some massive waves. Really dangerous. And so that's what we're anticipating in throughout the San Francisco Bay area, all the way into Monterey. And that will be Friday and Saturday. I believe the swell is going to start to build Friday night. Now, Southern California has four to six feet, right? But as it continues to switch and surge into a southerly direction, I anticipate about seven to nine feet. And is this the high surf caused by just all the energy from all of these storms out in the Pacific? You nailed it. It is. These storms have a lot of power associated with them. They are considered atmospheric rivers, so they have a little bit of that El Nino thumbprint on them, right? A little extra juice. Yeah, absolutely. And they are warm systems, too. So what we're talking about generally is when they're that warm, you have some snow in the greater Lake Tahoe area, but down low at the base at 6,000 feet, it's going to start off as rain. And then you will have, When the temperature dips into the 30s overnight, you will have at least half a foot. of snow and as you gather and drive higher right Chains. Okay. Yeah, if you want to head to the mountains, back. make sure you have them with you here. But, yeah, we're in for a real wet pattern here over the next week or so. Absolutely. It's just a conveyor belt of storms coming in, right? They just keep coming our way. All right, Roberta, appreciate that. Thank you very much. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap tonight after the break. Making moves before the NFL trade deadline. We'll tell you about the acquisitions made by West Coast teams before this afternoon's cutoff. All right, the NFL trade deadline officially over, and several West Coast teams made some big-time moves before the cutoff late today. For more, let's bring in KTVU sports reporter Bailey O'Carroll. Bailey, good to have you on here. I think one of the biggest shockers is out of Las Vegas today. 100%. I think everybody's, my jaw kind of dropped when I read the news. That's Kirk Cousins. He is headed back. To the Minnesota Vikings, so the Vikings making a big splash as well. This, again, out of Las Vegas, the 49ers, rather, I shouldn't get to the 49ers just yet, we'll get to that in a second, but rather, again, it is Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings. So that means the Niners are going to see Kirk Cousins again a week from Sunday, and that means for the Las Vegas Raiders, Well, Fernando Mendoza, who they took number one overall in this last NFL draft, will likely get the start on Sunday against another West Coast team, the Seattle Seahawks. So see how everything kind of connected here. But we mentioned Kirk Cousins. He's going back to Minnesota. They have really just had a quarterback nightmare up there this year. They traded away J.J. McCarthy, former... NFC West quarterback Kyler Murray is injured. He's considered day-to-day. Their quarterback situation, Carson Wentz, last night, less than ideal. So that means can Kirk Cousins... play hero. We're just going to have to wait and see. All right. We will find out and we'll see what the Fernando Mendoza era looks like in Las Vegas as well. A lot of interesting storylines here. Let's talk about the 49ers because they did make a trade today that's getting a lot of attention and it was really all aimed at trying to kind of bolster their depleted wide receiver group. That is, you hit the nail on the head right there. The Niners have had just a plethora of injuries at wide receiver. So what did they do? Well, a lot of people thought Are they going to maybe bring back Brandon Aiyuk? No. Instead, they're going to go out and get Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts. And the reason being, you just saw that list right there, but Keenan Allen, the Niners are going to send a 2027 sixth-round draft pick to the Colts in exchange for this. Keenan Allen, 34 years old. Played 14 NFL seasons. He missed one game this year with a groin injury. The Niners know injuries all too well at this point. But he's led the Colts in receptions so far. And, again, the reason why the Niners need just bodies in that receiver room is because of this list that you see right here on your screen. Mike Evans out with Achilles tendonitis. Christian Kirk, he didn't play all preseason. He hasn't played all regular season. Latest injury. Causing him to go on IR with a meniscus injury. Their rookie wide receiver, Dejon Stribling, out. On IR, also with an ankle injury. Ricky Pearsall, he had to have season-ending PCL injury. Some good news, though, for the Niners. They do hope to get wide receiver Debo Samuel back at practice this week. But, again, Keenan Allen helping to buffer that a little bit. Yeah, sounds like a decent move for the Niners here. Okay, let's talk about the winless Chargers because they were out there today. They traded away one of their linebackers. What was going on with this one? Yeah, just one move for the Los Angeles Chargers. You mentioned it, the winless Chargers. People expected the Chargers to do a lot more at the trade deadline. So instead, they're sort of just standing their ground. So not a lot to say. But yeah, the Chargers do lose Dayon Henley, their linebacker, traded to their rival, the Denver Broncos. But again, I think a lot of people just expected the Chargers to do a lot more because... Yeah, when you're having a tough season, you think you want to get out there and make some moves, right? Right, and it's not just like, oh, they have a few wins, like literally none. So you expect them to do a little more. Okay, also here before you go, let's get an update on... On the quarterback situation for the Arizona Cardinals. It's sort of been all over the place here. But Gardner Minshew, who just came on for the team, has gone down with an injury here. Who are they bringing in? Yeah, Gardner Minshew on IR, season-ending IR, the team expects, with an elbow injury. So, yeah, short-lived stint for Gardner Minshew and the Cardinals. He started just one game for them. And that's all we will see. So, that means we talk about Fernando Mendoza, big draft pick coming in for the Las Vegas Raiders. Carson Beck. The Cardinals, who the Cardinals took in the third round of this year's draft, will likely get the nod to start their next game. But as an insurance policy, the Cardinals did sign today a quarterback, Josh Allen. Not Josh Allen. That would be even crazier. Too many Joshes. Too many quarterbacks. Keep track of all your Joshes. Yeah, Josh Johnson. He is a Bay Area native. He's 40 years old. You talk about veteran. He embodies that. He's been in the league for some time. Yeah, yeah, well known. And just an insurance policy again for Carson Beck. The Cardinals know all too well injuries happen. That's why I'm up here today, right? Injury after injury after injury. So they just want an insurance policy in case something happens to Carson Beck. Because, again, he is a rookie and you just never know. All right. All these teams kind of getting situated here for the second half of the season. Looking forward to it. All right, Bailey, we appreciate it. Thank you. Much more news to come here on West Coast Wrap after this quick break. In a push to help students keep up with technology, the University of Montana is planning on launching a career certificate in artificial intelligence. The three-class program will be open to students of any major and will take what the university calls a human centered approach to learning about AI. What are the moral implications, the ethical implications, and more broadly for this certificate, we want them to learn not just how to Use artificial intelligence. I think that is happening just sort of organically, but really when not to use it and try to help them with judgment. The university says all of the classes are offered online. That program is set to launch next spring. Well, the midterm elections have sparked big debates over our nation's political climate, and one Northern California university is tackling the discussion in a unique way. KTVU's Janet Katsuyama visited a political science class at Sonoma State University earlier today, where stories from different generations became pathways to understanding. At Sonoma State University, here's a midterm share of the National House vote. Professor David McEwen's political science class is analyzing what he calls the mother of all midterms. The students who are taking notes on laptops or notepaper are mostly seniors. I'm a fourth year. I graduate in May. I'm an Osher Lifelong Learning student. This is a mixed generation class with students from Sonoma State and students from OLLI, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Everything you're not supposed to discuss at the dinner table at Thanksgiving, we're doing that in the class every Tuesday. We have people that have been voting for over 50 years and we have people like myself who've been voting for not even five yet. It is a first for Professor McEwen and his students. Being able to see all. Older viewpoints and people who have lived throughout many different presidents and presidential administrations have been very interesting. That was the first time I've seen that and it was really nice to have. The young folks and the mature folks together. Sitting side by side, they're diving deep into our country's politics and learning that behind each data point and demographic that might seem to divide us, there are personal life journeys shaping each political perspective. This is me as a Goldwater girl in 1964 when Barry Goldwater took a whistle stop. Tour on the train around the Midwest and I was in high school, I was about 16, and five years later, after going to university, I turned blue. For their finals, the Sonoma State students aren't doing papers, but personal interviews with the older students. Their final is that they are going to interview three or four. OLLI students, the undergraduates will interview them in a political biography. Just got interviewed by Greta for her class. How did that go? She's wonderful. I mentioned how thrilled I was when Barack Obama was elected in 2008, and it turns out the student had the same experience. He was only five years old. Tuesday's class was the final group gathering. All the seniors, they're very interesting to talk to, and like, not even just outside of the interviews, Speaking to them in class, they always offer a different perspective. We honestly have built friendships with these people. They feel like a peer and I'm kind of sad it's our last class today because I wish they were here until the end. The Osher Foundation has given out about 125 lifelong learning grants nationwide and Professor McEwen says he already has ideas for future classes to bring these multi-generational students together. Reporting from Sonoma State University in Santa Rosa, Jana Katsuyama, KTVU. Fox 2 News. Thomas Markle, the estranged father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is in more trouble with the law tonight. According to authorities at the Department of Justice, Markle is now detained after cutting off his electronic ankle monitor.

Markle is awaiting a hearing in federal court in Tampa, Florida. Much more to come here on West Coast wrap tonight. New body camera footage shows a dramatic rescue in Arizona. How police pulled a man out of a truck that was partially submerged in a pool. Newly released body camera footage shows police in Gilbert, Arizona, rescuing a man who crashed his truck through a brick wall and into a backyard pool. This happened back in September. That truck was partially submerged in the pool. The driver could not get out on his own. Police jumped in the water to rescue him. The driver was taken to a hospital so doctors could assess his condition. It remains unclear exactly what led up to that dramatic crash. Tesla says it will have to refund deposits to many customers who ordered a Cybertruck. CEO Elon Musk wrote on X that demand for the electric pickup far exceeds the company's production capacity. Musk says Tesla will try to build as many Cybertrucks as possible before shutting down the production line in about eight months. The move comes days after Musk announced plans to end Cybertruck production by mid-2027 to make more room for the company's Cybercab Robotaxi and finally tonight a minor hiccup for the US Capitol Christmas tree as it makes its journey from the West Coast to Washington DC. The Christmas tree's journey was temporarily delayed yesterday because of a crash in Billings, Montana. You can see the tree on that truck waiting at an intersection while crews were working to clean up that crash. Once the roadway was cleared, the truck carrying the national Christmas tree resumed its trip to the nation's capital. This year's tree comes from Grangeville, Idaho. The spruce stands 76 feet tall, and its overall load length is 102 feet. That does it for West Coast Wrap tonight. We appreciate you watching.
