biden's are clear. continuing to quote most notably, after given multiple chances to return classified documents to avoid prosecution, mr. trump allegedly did the opposite. according to the indictment. he not only refused to return the documents for many months, he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it. in contrast, he went on to say mr. biden turned in classified documents to the national archives and the department of justice consented to the search of multiple locations, including his home, sat for voluntary interview and in other ways cooperated with the investigation. end of quote. i've seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. this these assertions are not only misleading, they're just plain wrong. on page 215, if you had a chance. i know it's a long it's a thick document on page 215 of the report of the special counsel found the exact opposite. here's what he wrote. there is in fact, a shortage of
5:01 pm
evidence that i willfully retain classified materials related to afghanistan. on page 12, the special counsel also wrote for another documents the decision to decline criminal charges was straightforward. the evidence suggests that mr. biden did not willfully retain these documents , the evidence said. i did not willfully retain these daca amounts. in addition, another some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. there's even reference to that. i don't remember when my son died. how in the #### dare he raise that? franklin, when i was asked a question, i thought to myself, wasn't any of their business. let me tell you something. some of you have commented i wear since the day he died, and every single day the rosary he got from our lady of. every memorial day we hold a service remembering him attending by friends and family and the
5:02 pm
people who loved him. i don't need anyone. i don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away or passed away. the simple truth is, i sat for five hours or two days of events going back 40 years at the same time, i was managing an international crisis. their task was to make a decision about whether to move forward with charges. in this case, that's their decision to make. that's the council's decision to make. that's his job . and they decided not to move forward for any extraneous commentary. they don't know what they're talking about. it has no place in this report. the bottom line is the matter is now closed. i'm going to continue what i've always focused on my job of being president of the united states of america. and i thank you. and i'll take some questions. president biden, something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because in his description, you are a well
5:03 pm
meaning elderly man with a poor memory. >> i'm well meaning and i'm an elderly man and i know what the #### i'm doing. >> i've been president and i put this country back on its feet. i don't need his recommendation. that's totally out of your memory and can you continue as president? my memory is so bad, i let you speak. that's that's that's my memory has gotten worse. >> mr. president. >> my memory is not. my memory is fine. my memory. take a look at what i've done since i've become president. none of you thought i could pass any of the things you've been listening to. >> president biden addressing the nation tonight from the white house after the special counsel report into his handling of classified documents. want to bring in our greg lee now for his thoughts on what president biden just had to say. >> i mean, look, this is a president that is on defense. and while the special counsel has deemed that they are not seeking prosecution for these documents, you heard the question. there that the report said, this is a well meaning elderly man with a poor memory. republicans have jumped on that. remind you this is an election
5:04 pm
year, that they're in the middle of primaries. president biden trying to assure the public and voters that he is up for this job. but that has been a chief concern of a majority of the nation, including democrats, about his mental acuity and physical fitness for this job. and so now he's going in front of the nation and saying, i'm okay, i got this. and he will take questions. but you wonder what that will do to assure people about this situation. >> he is. so you think the president did not like the narrative once this report was released? >> correct. and we and that's why he did this tonight. >> and then what did you think of his tone there? and we know that his defensive right. >> he was coming out in front of the nation and saying this is what it is. his lawyer is already attacking the special counsel and saying what he said about the president's mental acuity does not belong in this report. and he's now trying to shift things to former president trump and his legal issues. again, this is an election year, and this is a president on the defensive tonight. and obviously he has reason to be after seeing what was released in that report today, this was not a scheduled
5:05 pm
talk by the president addressing the nation tonight. >> just moments ago from the white house. we'll get more later from you right now, the 5:00 news starts now. >> ktvu fox two news at five starts now. >> you smash and grab, you put a gun to someone's head. you need to be held to account. period. full stop. i'm not going to sugarcoat that. >> governor newsom says enough is enough. today. he offers even more help to alameda county and the city of oakland in its battle to fight crime. the governor, in an exclusive interview with ktvu calling the situation unacceptable. good evening everyone. >> i'm mike mibach and i'm julie julie haener, the governor announcing today he is sending state attorneys from the department of justice and the california national guard to help prosecute crimes in oakland and the east bay. now the move comes just two days after he deployed 120 more chp officers to the area, targeting theft and violent crime. ktvu political reporter greg lee spoke exclusively. with the governor during his stop in oakland. >> he's pretty fed up about this situation. yeah, mike, julie gavin newsom said. >> he is alarmed by what he is
5:06 pm
seeing in oakland. and he said candidly, the state needs to do more. that's why he said he's sending these increased crime fighting resources to alameda county. he did not put a time frame on how long the help would be here, but he says they need to see results and a dent put into these issues. anyone at hand governor gavin newsom carried a trashed barbecue off the side of i-880 in oakland. the unannounced stop and clean up part of the state's three year old clean california initiative to get trash off of roadways and public spaces. >> i love doing this, and that's about restoring the final point a little pride back in oakland. this is a special place. they absolutely this oakland, calif, we're over 2 million cubic square yards of litter picked up across the state. >> the more dirty a place is, the less well it's kept that it leads to crime related issues. >> for governor newsom, focusing his energy this week on trying to clean up oakland of trash and crime. thursday, he announced he's sending state attorneys to
5:07 pm
help prosecute crimes in oakland in the east bay. two days after he deployed 120 more chp officers to the area targeting theft and crime, particularly focused on vehicle theft and vehicle break ins. >> that's unacceptable. retail workers that are smashed their windows over and over and over again, that's unacceptable. i don't like these headlines at denny's leaving. i don't like the headlines of in and out leaving the governor pointing to statistics from oakland in 2023 showing violent crime up 21, robbery increasing 38, and vehicle theft increasing 45, while other parts of the state have seen decrease, as some have described this as a tougher on crime approach from you. >> do you agree with that? that common sense? >> it's not tougher on comments keeping people safe. people can't live with feeling terrorized by the fact their car has been broken into 4 or 5, six times. you can't live like that. can't expect small business person to put everything on the line. take risks and have new beginnings. investing in oakland if they feel like their place is going to be robbed.
5:08 pm
>> the anti-police terror project condemned the move to bring more chp officers to oakland, instead calling for more community prevention measures. newsom pointed to investments the state has made in community programs, including the clean up efforts by the freeway. >> i want accountability and i want community building at the same time, and it's not it's not either or. and i'm just not interested in the old binaries of the past, newsom stressed. >> this is the state working with local government. you have people that are frustrated, like you described, that are tired of their cars getting broken into. they point to the chief situation. they point to the mayor. what do you tell those people i got? >> i got ten fingers. none of them are pointing in any direction. all of us are in this together. i'm not interested in who's to blame. i want to solve this problem. >> the frustration is real. i'm also frustrated. but, you know, we have to ensure that we diagnose the problem, which we have. and now this is the implementation phase. >> the governor has called for new legislation to crack down on property crime, but has stood by proposition 47. the law that changed some felonies to misdemeanors. this, despite criticism from republicans and now some in his own party,
5:09 pm
calling for reforms to the law. >> 10th toughest felony thresholds in the united states of america. when you assert something, you got to back it up. and the challenge right now is a lot of people are pointing fingers without frankly, understanding those facts. but the fact remains we can improve how we prosecute organized retail theft. and that is something we are advancing now in his demand for accountability, the governor said his office would be sharing his results of what he calls a blitz in oakland. >> he also said to expect more announcements in this space moving forward. so the governor taking this to heart and saying more needs to be done. okay, so oakland has been without a police chief for a year now. >> did he say anything today about putting pressure on the commission or the mayor to move that process along? >> yeah, and i asked the governor right in front of the mayor. i said, are you frustrated that things are what they are? and he said, we're here to offer support, not be combative. and he said, i
5:10 pm
support localism, which means supporting the mayor to make the decisions that she needs to. but obviously, if you speak to residents and business owners, they have been beating the drum saying, we need a chief and this is the source of a lot of the issues in addition to many other things. but you have to wonder behind doors if there's a conversation between the two, the governor and the mayor, and he may be encouraging the mayor to say, hey, let's get this done. especially as you bring in all this support for this city that has been struggling and you have to wonder if that is certainly part of those conversations. yeah >> she herself said it's time for the implementation process, so let's get things implemented and go, yeah. all right greg, thank you greg. >> well, the governor spoke about his plan to send state attorneys to alameda county to help prosecute criminals. ktvu crime reporter henry lee live tonight in the newsroom with that part of the story. henry. >> yeah. mike. the governor in california, attorney general are sending what's known as dags and jags. deputy attorneys general and judge advocate generals to help alameda county da pamela price jags working with the state doj. >> and we're going to support the da to aggressively start to prosecute folks as well. >> it's all hands on deck, rightfully so, to work together and help each other out and lift up oakland and the east bay in

infer some hall of famers. ktvu joe fonzi live tonight from las vegas. the party joe picking up. >> it is picking up mike. you know there are a lot of extravagant things associated with super bowl week, but the fan experience is really a neat one. it's got a little bit of something for everybody, no matter who your favorite team is, and you don't have to buy an expensive game ticket to come here and enjoy this. but you guys asked me last night if we could kind of feel the buildup. maybe not so much on wednesday night, but it's definitely building now with the super bowl just three days away. as the week gets closer to game time, the buildup can be felt everywhere. hallways that were empty on monday and tuesday, they are suddenly packed with fans of any of the 32 nfl teams, but obviously. 49ers and chiefs
5:18 pm
heavy. >> yeah that's brady. yes, sir. >> it's also a time when the big hitters on and off the field show up. mr. las vegas wayne newton. everybody's trying to get this bills quarterback josh allen pitching subway sandwiches and a guy that 49ers saw twice this year has gone from obscurity to record setting rookie receiver puka nacua. >> it was one heck of a year. it's so fun and i'm glad i came out healthy. >> and we have to ask you, as a guy who's seen the 40 niners twice already this year, if you have to pick somebody this week who do you think has the edge? >> uh, i'm an offensive guy, so i'm going to go with the best. the chiefs i think the chiefs, they got a good offense with that guy. number 15 back there who's pretty crazy. >> 40 niner fans will always have a soft spot in their hearts for tight end vernon davis, who's written a book with the foreword authored by his former coach, mike singletary. >> the story about him sending me to the locker room, that's a that's a powerful story because it goes back to the connection
5:19 pm
that we were able to like, create over time. it's very inspiring when you hear what he has to say about some of the challenges that i had to face and that he inspired me to push the push, the limits to get even better hype about the game isn't the only thing that builds a hall of fame finalists. >> find out today if they receive their sports ultimate honor. davis's teammate patrick willis is expected to be voted in. >> he deserves it. i mean, you're talking about a guy who played at the highest level when it comes to playing the linebacker position. he deserves it. he deserves it. we wouldn't have been able to win all of those games without him. i started crying, uh, to think to be elevated into the highest level of their sport in terms of your accomplishments, it's really gripping and it was just like i said, i was in tears. >> it really is the ultimate honor for a football player. >> it is the ultimate honor meant a lot. >> i didn't know how i was acting, i probably was relieved
5:20 pm
because it was eight tries, but yeah, it's a feeling that you don't. >> you don't get every day. guys want to be super bowl champs. they don't want to be hall of famers. >> by the time we get to thursday of super bowl week, you have to remind yourself that this is probably the only thing with this much buildup for what is ultimately just a 3.5 hour event. so yeah, you know what's really neat about this, guys? and i you've said it. i've covered a lot of super bowls, but you just never know day to day who you're going to run into. we started with a clean slate and then you run into vernon davis. you run into all those hall of famers, uh, and then wayne newton to boot. and carrot top yesterday. so you just don't know what you're going to see at the super bowl. it's a mixed bag i know, joe, like you said, you've been covering these for years. >> super bowls. what's your favorite part? is it running around just kind of bumping into people at random that you haven't seen for years or talking to old veteran players? what do you like the most? >> yeah, i would have to say that is the favorite part for me . uh, i've been so fortunate to
5:21 pm
do this all these years, and you do develop friendships with people. hadn't seen vernon davis for a few years. uh, we ran into takeo spikes. yeah today. and when you get to run into a guy that, you know, we covered them from all those years and you develop a little bit of a friendship with them, i will say, for me, that's probably the favorite part as well. >> and real quick, joe, for all the 40 niners fans here in the bay area, just an update on the team. is it lockdown time? like are they just fired? you know, dialed in on practices. no more media. yeah >> today was their last media availability. yeah. the two opposing coaches will meet tomorrow. and then it's, uh, locked down time on saturday. and uh, game day on sunday. a really quick too. >> i want to ask you about the practice field. i know there was controversy and concern about the 40 niners having to practice at outside at unlv, and the chiefs getting to practice inside. how has that been for the 40 niners? did you hear anything new today? hey, no, the funny thing about that, remember that was kind of a big story on monday.
5:22 pm
>> then the commissioner held a press conference and he disputed everything that was said. and all of a sudden things got very quiet about that. so i think it was one of those situations where when the commissioner speaks, everybody says, okay, uh, that's beyond our pay grade to go above his head. >> all right. joe fonzi live from las vegas, joe. thank you. thanks, joe. >> super bowl sunday, no doubt a very big day. and we do have you covered here at ktvu. we've got our quest for six shows. all niners, all the time. the first special airing 930 tomorrow morning. there's a live show also from vegas. sunday, nine in the morning and then a countdown to kick off show at noon on sunday. all right. we saw some sunny skies out there today, but , uh, you could actually see some snow here. julie. lingering out there at least on one bay area peak. yeah. >> look at that. sky fox brought us this video over mount hamilton. it got a good dusting of snow. you can see the covered hillsides there of course. a very chilly morning around the bay area. it's always fun to see a little dusting of snow on our bay area mountain peaks. let's
5:23 pm
go over to our chief meteorologist, bill martin. now for more on this really kind of cool weather. but it is winter after all. but it's nice to get a little break from the rain as well. >> yeah, and hamilton, mount hamilton in the south bay. it's higher than you think. it's 4267ft up there. so it's i think it's a good knowledge right there. yeah. well google they knew this was coming but no but yeah a little bit of snow up there. it was cold last night a little bit of snow flurry activity up on diablo. but diablo not as high right there. good. 500ft lower. so yeah it's that time of year to where we start seeing snow on bay area peaks late february through march is when we start getting these these cold storms drier storms, but colder storms. so here's the long range model because i like it. we're just going to do it. it does it mean a lot sometimes it's real good at locating jet position, jet stream position and the you know, where the storms are, what latitude they're at, are they high or are they low where they come from? and what's what's the trend going to be this week? and so as i roll this forward, you
5:24 pm
kind of see that you can see the ridge pretty much kind of just those lines going north to south there. and you see that little bump right there. so ridge, ridge ridge that's sunday something tried to get in. you see that doesn't happen. and then this guy looks gamey here right there like oh here we go. and then it kind of bumps into the ridge. so the ridge looks like it has the model is saying the ridge has the potential to be pretty aggressively strong and bump that out of here and then detract probably that next one out there, that big one that looks like the real deal, but that might get pushed to the north too. so we'll see this one, that one we're staring at right now, that would be a major storm if it were able to get in here. look at the latitude. it's stretching from all the way from the aleutian islands down to the hawaiian islands. so that's a big, big setup there. and i'm going to step back out of here. i left the little box, guys. so here's there we go. and then we so we got the forecast which includes a frosted advisory tonight. and that frost advisory will stay in effect through tomorrow morning. and it's bigger now. more area more coverage than we had yesterday

for that state's ballot. fox news rebecca castor shows us how the justices are navigating uncharted, uncharted legal territory. >> donald trump and colorado voters who want him off the presidential ballot had their day in court. the nation's most powerful, for that matter. i thought it was very it's a very beautiful process. >> the court's nine justices now deciding whether to uphold or overturn a colorado court's ruling barring trump from the ballot over insurrection claims, an effort spearhead by 91 year old norma anderson, a former colorado state senator. and lifelong republican. >> i've gone through a lot of presidents, and this is the first one that is trying to destroy the constitution. but during public arguments before the supreme court, the justices
5:29 pm
seemed wary of allowing one state to determine a national election. >> what's a state doing? deciding who gets to be who? other citizens get to vote for? for president? >> colorado is not deciding who other states get to vote for president. it's deciding how to assign its own electors under its article two power. >> trump is facing ballot challenges in more than a dozen states with super tuesday in colorado's primary in less than a month away. that's why the supreme court's decision will likely come quickly, and either days or weeks. >> i think if you ask the people of colorado, the consensus of those people would be we can be trusted to elect whoever we want to elect. >> the justices spent almost no time debating whether trump actually did engage in insurrection on january 6th. trump has repeatedly said he was not trying to incite violence during the capitol riot, and says his speech was protected by the first amendment from the supreme court. rebecca castor, fox news.

5:50 pm
sprinkles, but turned out to be a nice day. this is the story and you know that that's that's classic high pressure ridge over the top. everything goes away from us. it's going to be a pretty strong ridge too. so it looks like it's going to hold up to the middle of next week. but with the ridge a high pressure, the high, the air sinks. right. and when the air sinks, it gets down around the surface and it just gets clear. the air. there's no not any cloud cover typically. and so you get these cool nights and that's what we're going to get. so the frost advisory has been extended to for the southland or to peninsula south down to santa cruz in the inland valleys, everything away from the bay. but you pick up sausalito here. san francisco's out of the frost advisory. frost advisories are funny because i'm not a big gardener. not i don't know how to do that really that well. but it is it does impact us when you get get you're in a rush in the morning, right? and you grab in your credit card trying to scrape, scrape the windows and stuff. so that's how frost advisory affects, i think me and most of us, for the most part, i'm sure there's certain plants, probably many plants that don't like it, but i just don't know
5:51 pm
about them. so again, let's interesting. i kind of see. i kind of almost looks like virga, like rain kind of showers, kind of trying to come down, you know, you see that sometimes it evaporates before it hits the ground. that would make sense. i don't know if that's what that was or not. might just been the camera. so the ridge of high pressure that's the story through tomorrow through the weekend through monday. tuesday there'll be some clouds coming in for the most part, but overall we look dry through wednesday. there is an opportunity for some aggressive weather kind of late in the week next week. it showed up last night and then tonight it's a little the model sort of backed off it a little bit. so so it's hard to say anyway when you're that far out. it's kind of ridiculous sometimes to. but right now it looks like it's going to going to be kind of dry right through the middle of the week next week. so we're in good shape. there's the frost advisory. we talked about that. we've got forecast overnight lows that are very similar to last night, which were cold and just above freezing, but still, you know, 33 degrees is cold in this time of year, especially if
5:52 pm
you're in concord or in clayton. so friday morning, friday afternoon or friday evening, saturday morning, there's the valley fog. you see it show up there and that means it'll probably be little valley of fog for us as well. just didn't pick up on the model. and then there's saturday night and then sunday a couple clouds start to come in. so the forecast highs tomorrow a lot like today. kind of chilly today. kind of chilly. it's kind of chilly in here actually i should say that. but that's just the fan. so there's a five day forecast. and you can see we've got temperatures that are going to try to warm up a little bit into the low 60s, which is pretty typical for this time of year. i'll see you back here at six devils avenue. and brandon are you and god loves ralph curtis hands a new spin on an old niner anthem. >> hear the new version of we are the 49ers and the producer behind it. >> next and coming up tonight at six, a friendly wager between a senior home on the peninsula and one in kansas city. as long time 40 niner fans get excited about
