in 5 say they'll go even longer between six months, up to a year and a half. this, according to the latest survey from pep boys, nearly half of respondents said they put off getting their car serviced. of course, because of the cost. this morning we're asking how long do you typically wait to address your car repairs? andre's been nodding, so i think he's in. yeah, i think he's in the six months or longer group, but let's see how many of you. oh, 37. you say you'll check it right away. six, six months or longer. that's about another good group of you, just more than a third. the smallest group here, just about a quarter of you say, yeah, i'll go six months, maybe even longer. let us know how you react to those red lights on your dash. scan the qr code at the top right of your screen or head to ketv.com/vote. i typically wait until i have like more than 1 or 2. so to me, like right now to check. yeah, like just different lights. not the check engine light, but like the little i think my airbag light has been on. sometimes the tire pressure light goes on. once i get 2 or 3 of those, then i'll either turn it over to my husband or go into the shop. sounds like you wait a minute. right. >> well, so, you know, you know,
9:03 am
when i did, you know, didn't make much. and i had these old cars. yeah. i'd wait. i mean, just even thinking about taking it to the mechanic and they're like, oh, it's going to be $1000 or $500, right? yeah. and i'm just like, well, if the car is running right now, let me just keep keep running it until i actually have to face the face, the music and have to figure out how to pay for this thing. >> i used to be one kind of guy, and now i'm a different kind of guy. >> yeah, now i do it. >> yeah. so now i deal with it somewhat immediately because there's no excuse for being late to this job. yeah. you can't say, oh, my car broke down. >> well, i mean, frequently or those kids have got to get picked up from school right? >> right. and frequently like, whatever would cost you, let's say 500. now, if you wait six months, maybe it's 750, maybe the other thing gets even worse. so it's a compounding. >> yeah, maybe i'll win the lottery in six months and i can buy a brand new car. >> these are what goes through. these are things that go through my mind, right? >> less likely. >> yeah. so we have to pivot to this. this kind of has to do with driving and cars. >> but unfortunately it's a
9:04 am
pretty serious sounding accident at the area of center road and east kendall expressway in san jose. it's a major injury vehicle collision. as you know, if you live in the area, that's a pretty busy intersection with gas stations and convenience stores and just a lot of lanes coming into that area. those commute traffic lanes will be affected for a while. please avoid the area. use alternate routes. this is not affecting highway 101 nearby, which by the way is still slow. you can use 101 and get up to the next exit and avoid east capital expressway. maybe you might want to use tully road instead. >> and happening today, it's the start of the state trial against david depape, the man accused of breaking into the san francisco home of former house speaker nancy pelosi and attacking her husband, paul in 2022. the trial is expected to go through the end of next month. depape has already been convicted of two federal charges related to the attack. sentencing in the federal case is set for may 17th. >> for murder, suspects have agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges after it was revealed they were arrested by antioch police officers involved in the department's racist text scandal
9:05 am
. they were all charged in the killing in march 2021. however, attorneys say all 12 officers involved in the case were also part of a racist, homophobic and threatening text message chain. the district attorney's office admitted racial bias was involved in the case. the suspects face a possible sentence of 20 years to life in prison. they will now spend anywhere from 13 to 20 years behind bars and will be sentenced later this week. a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in stockton was arrested in antioch following an hours long search, police told people in the area of gentry town yesterday, gentry child drive yesterday to lock their doors and windows as officers look for the suspect. he was taken into custody just before 6:00 last night. no other details have been released. >> after more than a year without a permanent police chief in the east bay's largest city, a new leader starts this saturday to lead oakland's police force. with us now to talk more about what's happening in oakland is mayor shengtao. mayor, thank you so much for joining us. this morning.
9:06 am
>> absolutely. it's always my joy. all right. >> so the police chief, floyd mitchell, he's getting ready to start. tell us a bit about that. it's happening soon. >> absolutely. it's going to be happening may 11th is he's already in town, but he'll be starting officially on may 11th. >> so it's a saturday. why is saturday? >> you know, that's just how payroll works. >> oh, okay. >> i got you, h.r, and it's all these, like, funny little things. >> i was wondering then i'm like, that's a strange. and there's a swearing in an official swearing in ceremony, but that's still being planned, from my understanding. yes so we'll have to wait for a date on when that's going to happen. yes. >> you'll have to wait for a date for when that will happen. but we will have a public swearing in. >> all right. what's his first order of business here when he does start? because there's so many different facets of this job that he's got to start with. but what did you all talk about? >> no, absolutely. so first and foremost, he's kind of already on the job. right. so he's he's been working closely with chief ellison, interim chief ellison and assistant chief tony jones. really learning the ropes of the different things that we're doing here, the different strategies. of course, ceasefire is the strategy that we're operating off of. we know it works. you know, we have
9:07 am
homicides that are down by 17. we want to continue that roadmap . and so with that being said, he's already being trained up in all of these different strategies. the first order is crime reduction. yeah. >> yeah. so let's talk about crime reduction because the city came out with a report recently that shows. and if we can show the stats on the screen here, pretty dramatic drop here, reduction in crime, 33% overall compared to last year. homicides is down 17, assaults down 7, rape down 21, burglaries 50. but robberies still up by 11. so let's talk about what you attributed to the crime reduction here overall. >> well, it's a comprehensive approach that we are taking. of course, the first year coming in, we really opened up the hood to really try to figure out what was happening, what wasn't happening. we also went back to ceasefire right. i built back up the ceasefire program, which is targeting the small groups of people who are committing the crimes that we also know, who are also committing property crimes and pulling the trigger. but at the same time, of course, we worked closely with chp. we're working closely with our
9:08 am
sheriff's partnership and this comprehensive approach really brings in probation. the district attorney's office. so all of government, all the arms have to work in order for this strategy. >> so separate from ceasefire, what i'm hearing is you had these other arms that were also working in tandem at the same time with the probation, that type of thing that you would credit overall with, with the reduction in crime. absolutely. all right. the robbery i know you you know, the robberies are still up 11, you know, that's something of course you're looking at anything specific that you'll try to focus on that you can tell residents about. >> oh, absolutely. right now, for the last month or so, we're hyper focused on robberies. of course we are. you know, we're still up by 6% in robberies, but that is that has flattened since february. so february we were double that number. so we are seeing the trend coming down. we're going to continue to focus on that. and again you know we know that overall crime is down and but the next step that i'm working towards is the sense of feeling safe. >> right. the perception of crime is still continues to be an issue here because we talk to
9:09 am
some people. last week when those numbers came out and someone's like, yeah, i've noticed a difference. others say, no, everything still seems the same to me. i don't know why there's a difference or if you're in a certain section of town. i'm not really sure, but what is your sense? what could you focus on to get that perception to diminish that perception of, of, of a violent area? for some people of oakland ? >> well, we got to continue this track of making sure that crime is coming down, that especially homicides are coming down. but at the same time, the perception that's done a lot on the different social media platforms or what have you. and so we are pushing out positive, news stories that we are working on. right. but at the same time, it's about bringing people out of their homes and, you know, having them go out to shop and drink and eat, and that's the same sense of safety. but also so the patrolling part as well. and so this is why we brought back the foot patrols. when people see our officers on the street and they communicate, that is a sense of a feeling of safety. of course, that's not generalizing that. that's the case across the city. but it's really also, you know, the city going out and cleaning up the
9:10 am
streets. >> yeah. i want to talk to you. you have something called oakland fresh that you started and that kind of, you know, fits into this because you're talking about cleaning up abandoned vehicles. you're talking about, you know, blighted properties around around oakland and the perception of crime also has to do with that. if you see all those things, you're of course going to think it's a dangerous area. so tell us about oakland fresh and what it's doing. and has it started? is it off the ground? >> yes, it is off the ground. i got some stats here for you. it was the first two months we've had 140 piles of illegal debris that was picked up, 174 abandoned cars towed, 34 graffiti sites painted. and we're going to continue because to that point, the perception of safety is also cleanliness. yes, we want our kids and our elders to be able to walk the streets freely. >> is there a specific area that you're focused on? >> so in east oakland, we these are the areas that we've already worked on. we worked in east oakland international, 66 avenue to 85th center in oakland. it's east 12th to foothill, sixth avenue to, to 11th. and in west oakland we have san pablo to 27th to 35th and 34th. peralta
9:11 am
to west. >> how many people are in this are part of this oakland pressure, or is it you're using the departments that are there to push this program? >> oh, yes, we're using the department that are there. essentially what it is, is myself and the city administrator will go out with our whole team, all the director heads of all departments, and so that we're going to take care of the curb, the streets, the garbage, everything all at once, so that it's not being piecemealed out so people can feel the instant impact. and of course, we're calling on the community to also take responsibility and join us in this cleanup and then continue the cleanup. gotcha. >> all right. let's step back real quick to the city auditor's report last week about the grant money, which we've talked about many times here. you've accepted responsibility for missing out on that $15 million. and, the report though did cite a lack of leadership, lack of project management as a reason. anything in that report surprised you when you when you read it? >> no, nothing surprised me. you know, again, in my state of the city last year, i did take full responsibility for that coming in. i already knew at that point
9:12 am
in the council knew as well too, that we had this potential possibility that we could miss out on grants. and so what happened was, in the budget cycle, we funded and centralized grant person, and that was prior to this grant even being missed. or and so we were talking about hiring the central person. >> okay. >> so we're already setting that up. that central person is here. and so we have so you've hired so this is a this is a grant writing coordinator. >> is that that particular. and so that person is hired. now that person is hired. all right. and when did they start. >> so they start actually in a week. and so with that being said this is going to be able to coordinate better between the different offices. we're seeing more and more nowadays that, you know, the funding, the funding that's coming down from the state or the feds that they require multi departmental efforts to work to ensure that we have the best application. all right. >> let's talk a little bit about cities now and businesses small business month in oakland. tell us a bit about that and what you're hoping to see. >> well i always say that every day is a small business day and that we should always shop local. so for folks out there,
9:13 am
please go out and shop local and buy local. you know, this is really a boost to our economy as the small businesses are our backbone here in the city of oakland. but at the same time, these are mom and pops. and so we encourage everyone to go out and shop local. there are certain different discounts at different stores. yeah. >> is there something published by the by the city that people can look at to shop at these mom and pop stores? >> yes, it is on our website. >> on the website. all right. thank you so much for joining us today. you're going to have a busy week ahead of you with the chief. and you know, a lot going to be surrounding that. all the fun things, all the fun things that you get to do. all right. mayor thank you so much for coming in again. we appreciate your time. all right. coming up on mornings on two and nine, it's one of the most common cancers among women nationwide. and now there are new recommendations to ensure everyone is an advocate for their own health. we'll talk live with a doctor about the importance of early detection for breast cancer patients. also ahead, a first for the bay area. the im rtance

9:16 am
at paypal park in san jose. it's the first time the two teams will officially play each other in a competitive match. ktvu james torres is in san jose with a look at the matchup and what to expect. >> this is all part of the u.s. open cup. that's a nationwide soccer tournament that puts major league soccer teams and has them square off against lower division teams amatures,
9:17 am
semi-pro or even smaller professional teams like the oakland roots. it started with 96 teams, and we're down to the final 32. the two teams have only played once before. that was a preseason game three years ago. the roots took a two nil lead until the quakes took over and scored three straight to win. today, the stakes are much higher. you could call it a case of david versus goliath. both teams coming in with not so great starts to the season, but some good momentum off the weekend and some great signings. let's start with the visitors. the oakland roots sit 10th in the western conference of the usl. they mostly rested their starters over the weekend and came up big with a draw against san antonio, one of the best teams in their league. last week, they dropped their head coach, but they just added a big name and dom dwyer, he's a former u.s. international striker and mls star. he is clear to play today and very well could make his debut tonight. >> the cup is a very special
9:18 am
competition, has a lot of history, you know, and it's a great opportunity for the club. you know it's a local rivalry and you're playing against a bigger club in a higher league. and it's exciting. you know it's an opportunity for the guys. so they're looking forward to it. >> the earthquakes excited about a major signing of their own hernan lopez, a young 23 year old midfielder from argentina, has some roots in royalty. his great uncle is the late, great diego maradona. he broke the quakes record for the most expensive transfer signing, and the team hopes he can be the key to turning their season around as they sit at the bottom of the mls western conference table with just two wins under their belt. >> i expect to see some young guys come in, show that they they deserve to be there, but also they want to be making that first team lineup more often. so it's going to be an interesting game. but mentally you've got to be prepared because oakland is going to come and fight the earthquakes. >> coming off a very big game of their own, they won three one against lafc over at levi's stadium, in front of a crowd of more than 40,000 people. tonight's match will kick off at
9:19 am
7:00 here at paypal park. reporting from paypal park. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> when we look at our bay area weather forecast rosemary oroczo. will we even recognize today once we get to friday? >> oh my goodness. we've got some warm weather coming our way. so gear up gasia. we even have the clear skies joining us this morning. and temperatures a little bit warmer compared to yesterday. so already beginning that trend. but as we get into the days ahead, that's when the warmer weather is expected to arrive. a beautiful view there. golden gate bridge, parts of san francisco, san francisco, right now, 53 degrees 54, in livermore into the north bay, 53 for napa. we continue with temperatures was right about seasonal for this time of year. after a very cool weekend, and yesterday was a little better, but still below average seven degrees warmer already in santa rosa. so you have a warmer day coming your way. obviously, livermore, you are up by two. a view here of storm tracker two in the northwest flow that is over the bay area. this is going to shift a little bit. it's going to
9:20 am
become a little bit northeasterly. and with that we have the drier warmer air expected in the days ahead. the pattern setting up already where you can see kind of an active scene on the back end there behind us, or i should say to the east of us. and then on the west we have this ridge here that is building in eventually strengthening and pushing that storm track all the way into canada. here's a look at the future cast model on this. i'm going to stop it for you. on thursday, we have that high pressure there. the ridge well above, and then that system to the east of us. we will have that northeasterly flow there that you see. and with that, again, the warmer weather, a wind advisory also expected for the carquinez strait as well as the delta begins late tonight and we'll go into early thursday morning with wind gusts to about 45mph. so the outdoor patio stuff, you know, if you're going to be out and about driving through that area, do expect the breezy conditions and some of those winds to perhaps knock things around 64 degrees for the afternoon. high in san francisco today, 74 in concord. so a
9:21 am
beautiful day into the extended forecast, where wednesday into thursday, temperatures take a notable jump. we are now into the upper 80s for our inland cities by thursday friday, low 80s for our bayside communities. beautiful beach weather, mid to upper 70 is expected thursday friday into the weekend. we begin to cool things down for your mother's day. low 60s at the coast upper 70s inland. back to you, rosemary. >> thanks. one of california's biggest reservoirs is at full capacity for the second year in a row, lake oroville, which provides water to 27 million californians, currently holds over 3.5 million feet of water. the reservoir was boosted by the two wet winters that hit california back to back. the department of water resources expects more planned releases of the lake's dam in coming weeks to make room for snow melt runoff. >> the push for more local control over autonomous vehicles in california next here on the nine. why some state lawmakers say local governments should have more of a say in regulating those self-driving vehicles.

a driver merges onto interstate 580 near seminary and starts shooting out the window. the reports of any injuries. but through this video, investigators were able to identify the driver as 32 year old dominic taylor of san leandro. taylor was arrested and booked into santa rita jail. >> san francisco police are still searching for a man blamed for a disturbing incident on a muni bus. witnesses claim the man was screaming anti-asian slurs from the back of the bus. that's when two women tried to step in, and that is when the man pulled out a taser. when the bus driver pulled over all of the passengers ran off the bus. police arrived, but they weren't able to find the suspect. we spoke to a teenager who witnessed the whole thing. >> i felt pretty shocked at the same time, i felt pretty fearful because i didn't want to do something that would, like, trigger him or offend him. >> the suspect still hasn't been found. muni says it does have surveillance video of the incident and has turned it over to police. >> some state lawmakers want to give local governments more control over autonomous vehicles
9:26 am
in california. the decision comes as waymo, the autonomous car company, announced plans to expand from the peninsula to sunnyvale. the bill has already advanced through two committees after being introduced earlier this year, but some residents in san mateo county say they're skeptical of how well the self-driving cars will operate on their streets. >> i just don't know if i trust the self-driving technology yet. like i'm sure there's something there, but in practice, i don't know. it's a little scary. >> it should be on the company for their autonomous vehicle, violating some sort of traffic law, but instead. oh, it's fine. we don't get in trouble. we don't get a ticket because no one's driving it. >> the bill has passed several committees in the senate. it still needs a vote in the full senate and assembly before heading to the governor. >> san francisco leaders point to a significant reduction in the number of tents in homeless encampments on city streets. so next on the nine, what they say is likely behind the drop and what people who live on the

9:29 am
at the uc berkeley campus with the campanile and you can see
9:30 am
evans hall there also, and the berkeley hills. today is going to be a nice day. and throughout the week we're going to get a warm up. check this out. a new gym membership is promising to help you live longer, but it's going to cost you a lot extra. equinox and function health care are collaborating on the optimized by equinox program. it costs members close to $40,000 a year. members will get personalized training programs, nutrition plans, and tips for better sleep. plus, members will get lab tests to track organ health and nutrient levels. and it sounds like that's something you should be doing anyway, right? your doctor can run tests and you should know about your own nutrition, and you can exercise. but some people need hand-holding. but it's expensive. >> well, but i think if i pay that money, you bet i'm going to get every test. i'm going to go to every session. i think, you know, that's that's the agreement we make, right? if you pay money for it, you're more likely to do it. this is why i don't take a that much. well,
9:31 am
that's right. you're motivated. >> people get gym memberships and they don't go right. >> if it's if it's a if it's like, oh, it's only 50 bucks a month, who cares? to them it's nothing. money exactly. but so 40,000 is 40,000. >> so people are probably saying i can't afford to live longer at those rates. yeah exactly. that's right. speaking of money, let's peek back on a question we've been asking you throughout the nine here. >> it has to do with that check engine light does it when it pops on, do you take it straight to the shop or do you kind of let it simmer? we've been scanning the qr code at the top right of the screen. you've been heading to ktvu .com/ vote we see here. wow. almost two thirds of you say you take care of it right away. it goes on. you're in the shop. next we see about a quarter of you say, you know, wait maybe three months, a little bit less. the smallest group say you go for a super long time, like andre says he does six months or longer before you have it checked out. so we'll keep checking in on this poll. we love it when we see your answers shift the direction of our question. >> we want to go back to that area in san jose, where there's a major crash center road and east capitol expressway. you see
9:32 am
that very busy intersection on it. very strange to see it completely empty here as our photographer pushes in. it's a major injury crash again at the corner of center road and east capitol expressway. this is actually on capitol expressway here. and center road is the road in the back that crosses. it's a very high speed collision. it's major injuries. according to san jose police. and since this normally very busy route is completely shut down, more people will be using the freeway nearby. the expressways tully road. but again, this is east capitol expressway and in the background you see center road. right now completely blocked, will stay. stay with us. we're going to find out more about this. >> coming up, san francisco city leaders say according to their latest count, there are now fewer tents and encampments in its streets. but there is skepticism about whether that means there's been any improvement in the number of people living on the streets. ktvu allie rasmus joins us live from the city to explain allie. >> good morning. andre. the city's department on homelessness did account last
9:33 am
month, and they say that they found the number of tents, temporary structures and encampments drop citywide by about 41. they shared some of the numbers. in a report released today. the agency counted 360 tents in structures citywide, and they said that's down from the 609/10 counted in summer of last year. but the count was of tents and structures not people. an official count of unhoused people in san francisco is done every two years. the data from this year won't be released for another month or so, but in 2022, the number of homeless people counted in san francisco was more than 7700. now, early this morning, near the san francisco public library and civic auditorium, we spoke with several people spending the night on the street, including a 33 year old man from pleasanton who told us he's been homeless in san francisco for the past three years. he has a tent that he pitches every night and then packs up in the morning just before 5:00 this morning, san francisco police and department of public works crews came to
9:34 am
tell him and the others sleeping on the sidewalk that they had to leave. other people did the same with their blankets and sleeping bags. now, according to the city's department of homelessness, about 60% of the time people are offered a shelter bed by outreach workers. they decline it. >> i've been to a couple of shelters and i didn't like how they were. it's like a joke. >> so why? what's wrong with them, they give for a bed. it was just a chair. so, like, you're slanted a certain way the whole entire time. they flash flashlight in your eyes every hour during the check. >> so the man told us he believes it's more comfortable to sleep on the street than in one of the city's shelters. now, the mayor's office says they believe that 41% decline in the number of tents on city streets is because of outreach efforts. and also in january, the city was given more legal authority to clear away tents and encampments when the ninth circuit court of appeals said san francisco could compel people not to sleep or camp in public areas if they offered
9:35 am
those people a shelter bed. now the city can clear away tents and belongings if that's the case, if a person is offered a shelter bed and they say no. but as you heard that one man we interviewed say, sometimes people don't want to accept a shelter bed. and so in that case, it's probably why this morning we saw quite a few people who'd been sleeping overnight, picking up their belongings with bags, packing them into suitcases and moving along. live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, this morning, president biden delivered an address on anti-semitism at the holocaust memorial ceremony at the us capitol. the president said it's important to remember and honor the 6 million jewish people killed by during world war two, he said, in order to ensure that it never happens again, we must never forget. and he called out the recent rise in anti-semitic ism, saying there is no place for it in america. >> we've seen a ferocious surge of anti-semitism in america and around the world. vicious
9:36 am
propaganda on social media. jews forced to keep their hide, to keep us under baseball hats, tucked their jewish stars into their shirts on college campuses, jewish students blocked, harassed, attacked while walking to class, the president said. >> it's important to remember that the war in gaza began when, on october 7th, hamas killed 1200 israelis and took 250 more hostage. >> student protesters at san francisco state university sat down with president lynn mahoney on campus, calling for the university to stand against the violence in gaza. they spoke for more than an hour yesterday afternoon, students asked the president to declare the israeli occupation a genocide and divest from companies that provide military aid to israel. the university president says she's focused on protecting free speech on campus. >> my role is actually to make
9:37 am
it safe, and i don't just mean physically. i kind of mean culturally, politically and socially for every group on this campus to if it can't play out on a university campus, then the us is doomed. >> i do hope other universities are seeing the leadership that has been performed here today. >> the protesters and the university president, pardon me, plan to meet again in the future . they plan to work with sf state's investment team to create a model for investment transparency and investment policies. >> let's go deeper now into a major change in women's health care that's meant to save lives. as we first reported last week, the us preventative services task force now recommends women start getting regular mammograms at the age of 40. experts say there's been a 10% increase in the number of breast cancer cases among women under the age of 50. in recent years. previously, recommendations called for regular mammograms starting at the age of 50. with us now doctor anne pellet, a breast cancer surgeon at sutter
9:38 am
health and a coauthor of these new recommendations, breaks it down in an easy way here, doctor pellet, she says a lot more women are getting breast cancer, and that influences our recommendation. what are you seeing in your practice? >> so i think we know that mammograms save lives. and i always say that i feel so lucky to be at a time where breast cancer is highly treatable for most people. that's amazing. but we really do need that early detection in order to make that happen. so i'm loving the fact that we now have clear guidelines that people should start earlier. they should start at 40. it's a recommendation from one of the most important organizations. and so i'm really excited to think that people are going to take that seriously. they're going to talk to their providers about coming up with an individualized screening plan for them, and then hopefully get those really good outcomes. if they do get diagnosed with breast cancer. >> and doctor powell, the fact that you're talking with us here today, you're advocating for breast cancer research and prevention. you have a very personal story to tell in this realm. >> i do. so i was actually diagnosed myself with breast cancer at 37, and i didn't have a family history. i felt like i
9:39 am
was doing everything right and being healthy, and i felt a lump and went in and got it taken care of, and it was early stage breast cancer. and it's six years later, i'm cancer free and doing really well. but i always share my story to tell people how important it is to stay on top of these things, to follow up on lumps to get your mammograms so that that way if something does happen again, you can be in a place where you have good treatment options and you can have really good outcomes long term. so again, personally, i'm so excited about anything that allows us to have better detection. >> and i don't know if it was your medical training that led you to do, you know, self checks? i know a lot of women say, oh, i'll go to my doctor eventually. what do you say to women who say, i don't have the time? i can't find the money. i can't get the day off of work. there really are a lot of barriers to getting even. just a manual annual mammogram. >> yeah, and there are lots of them. and i think it's also really scary, right? i do feel incredibly lucky here at sutter health at cpmc. we have a really wonderful group of people running it. it's comfortable, you feel well taken care of, but
9:40 am
it's still scary to go in. and what i would say to people is just know that this is the right thing to do for yourself, for your family, for your loved ones to make that time and make that space. because again, it really does change your course. and a lot of times i think there's a bit of kind of an inevitability. well, if i'm going to get cancer anyway or i have a lump, it's definitely going to be cancer. but honestly, most lumps don't end up being anything. and again, if you do feel something and you go in, you have the opportunity to have more options . you have the opportunity to have lots of years of life ahead of you where you're feeling well and healthy. so again, with these barriers, i think just reminding yourself what a key part of prevention and health this is will really hopefully help get over them. >> that time is so important. you know, breast cancer, we can't say it enough, is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. black women in particular are 40% more likely to die of breast cancer. what do you make of that message? and also what's most important for women to know about that? >> so there are real disparities in breast cancer care. there are disparities in outcomes and
9:41 am
diagnosis. and i think this so very much speaks to this concept of individualized care and individualized prevention. so if you are someone who has a family history, you're black. there are other ethnic factors that go into increasing risk. have those conversations with your doctor. and i think recommendations like this allow us to have leeway as survivors, as surgeons, as providers to get a tailored plan that hopefully will address these disparities, hopefully will bring those numbers down and again, allow us to have more uniform and equal care for everyone. >> is there any widespread guidance you can share, doctor, about preventing breast cancer? >> so we know it's multi factorial. and i feel like it's always important to say again my story highlights this. people get breast cancer even who feel like they're doing everything right. but we do know that regular exercise that maintaining a healthy weight, that trying to minimize the amount of alcohol and really trying to eat that rainbow diet we all strive for that. all of these factors do reduce your risk. and so again, everything you can do to take these on, to do these kind of things is incredibly important. but again,
9:42 am
also know that the screening piece of it is also such a huge part for addressing breast cancer. if you do happen to get it starting now at age 40. >> doctor anne palette, thank you so much for joining us this morning. thank you. of course, it's an important message coming up here on mornings on two the nine deepening scrutinee into boeing and new inspections of its planes. what some employees may be skipping that could affect safety in the skies. and then an organization that works to bridge language, culture and generation gaps that too often leave members of one community behind. we'll shine a light on all the good work of the vietnamese american roundtable and learn how its members build community, civic engagement and cultural
