build these cranes. it is the u.s. based company. and moving will be the ones producing the cranes essentially going back to what the u.s. did back in the early days of the ports as the company used to build the cranes for the ports until the late 80's. it is important to note that the executive order does not affect any existing chinese cranes at american ports, only future ones that are set to come in. the biden administration says the goal of this 20 billion dollar executive order is to strengthen cybersecurity at u.s. ports and secure. the country's supply chain will also strengthening the industrial base. now i did reach out to the oakland ports to ask them how many of these cranes that were made in china? do we have here in the bay area? do they have any on order because at other ports they actually did or more of these cranes and those are set to come in later this year as to what is happening here in the oakland port. we're still waiting to hear answers. that's the very latest. and michael thomas. james, we'll send it back to you, ok? we'll see what happens with that. thank you, michael. 10. 32 on

package. we're calling a safer california plan on the issue of opioids and specifically fentanyl. one of the bill seeks to exploit the creation of more rehab facilities for those experiencing substance use disorders. another 6 to increase pencil testing strip statewide. doing the right thing is 100%. what we need to do in this case. and the right thing is to look at the problem of substance abuse is a whole and build support systems for those. >> who are suffering. the new emerging drug xylazine is also mentioned in the package of bills often called tranq or tranq dope. xylazine is a horse tranquilizer not approved for human use, but it has become more prevalent on the streets and has been known to cause major flash eating wounds, sedation and death place and seeks to increase penalties for trying traffickers. on the issue of retail theft. one of the bill's targets, the sale of stolen goods online by requiring third-party sellers to be certified. another bill

will increase penalties for those involved in organized retail theft and illegal resale schemes. but exact details still need to be worked out. we must hold repeat, professional thieves accountable. >> well, we're still reviewing the specifics of the legislative package. we're optimistic about the proposals here today, but not included in the bill. a proposal to repeal prop. 47 passed by california voters in 2014. the law change certain nonviolent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, including theft when the items stolen are valued at less than $950, supporters argued it would help reduce california's prison over population and lead to criminal justice reform. mass incarceration. >> simply isn't the answer. i do not believe that this state needs to tuch prop 47 to be able to help make our community safer. >> full stop. but opponents including republican on the number tom lackey say prop 47 emboldened criminals to take part in certain crimes like retail theft, with little to no punishment, property heavily contributed to the problem.

>> and so in order to find a solution to have to first address the problem and front. 47. >> and you may recall assembly speaker robert remus previously announced his own retail theft legislation targeting thieves and supporting diversion programs. mcguire says that bill will move forward and will complement the bills introduced reporting at the state capitol. a tom wallace kron. 4 news. >> thank you. wait on 10. 36 the time and happening in just a couple hours from now, san francisco city workers will be rallying as contract negotiations continue with the city. this is a picture from their rally back in january. the contract for nearly 30,000 city workers are set to expire in june. union officials say the city has a staffing crisis with more than 3500 positions that need to be filled. many of those jobs are currently being done by contract workers. but the union wants them staffed with actual employees that enjoy benefits and protections. the rally is set to start at noon. it will be near the snp. any agency building on van ness avenue.

stages of a government shutdown in just 3 days. congress's top leaders hope to hammer out a funding deal soon. there's no justification, for provoking a government shutdown. one hurdle remains a block of hard right. house republicans threatening to tank any effort to avoid a shutdown if the southern border isn't addressed. first, my positions of my colleagues on capitol hill is clear. >> you either secure the border or you get no money for the government caught between those republicans and the specter of a shuttered government. house speaker mike johnson. don't forget it was hard, right? republicans that ousted former speaker kevin mccarthy from the speakership last year after he brokered a deal with democrats to keep the government open. the task at hand will require that everyone rose in the direction. but what that direction will be remains unclear, especially of speaker johnson can't wrangle enough of his members on board with keeping the government open.

we realize the speaker of the house is in a difficult position. >> but he must reject them at the heart right? which wants to shut down and will likely get a better sense later on today. one of funding vote might happen reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley. >> 10. 39 the time. breaking news this morning. macy's is reportedly closing its massive store in san francisco's union square. the san francisco standard is reporting the supervisor aaron peskin was notified this morning of that plant. closure. the news comes as macy's announced just this very morning that it would be closing 150 of its stores across the country over the next 3 years. now, a date hasn't been set yet for when the san francisco store will be shutting its doors. the san francisco standards says, though, up to 500 jobs will be lost when that macy's does closed down. we have a reporter working on this breaking news story will have a live report at noon right here on kron. 4. 10, 40 is the time. let's turn our attention

to the supreme court now. it's going to be hearing landmark social media censorship cases from florida and texas today that could dramatically shape what we see and hear on social media platforms, the laws in those 2 states bar major social media companies which are private from making editorial judgments about which messages are content to allow on their sites. supporters say conservative views are being silenced by those platforms which they claim violates their first amendment. freedom of speech. but private companies aren't subject to the first amendment and can censor content that they see unfit. experts say if the laws are allowed to take effect, that would set a dangerous precedent. >> florida texas enacted laws that will force a private business to host lawful but awful content that they just don't want to left right or center. every single american should want to protect our first amendment rights from the government. >> well, the biden administration is siding with

social media companies, but former president donald trump who was kicked off some of those social media sites during his presidency is urging the court to uphold the florida law. the final decision isn't expected until june, which would be a pivotal time for the election. >> having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card. >> well, still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news. we're continuing our coverage of black history month. we sit down with a local library and when peter dickson led my platoon into combat down with a local library and he's gone viral on tikt
