presidential inauguration days away. good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. we are counting down until president-elect joe biden is sworn in as president of the united states on wednesday morning. and as time ticks by the tension rises. the fbi is warning about armed protests in sacramento and state houses across the country. a lot to worry about. abc 7 news i-team reporter dan noyes is here with a story you will see only on 7. dan? >> reporter: well, dan, sacramento has been hit with sometimes violent protests each week since the election, but authorities are clamping down in light of the insurrection at the u.s. capitol. from centuries patrolling the dome to new six-foot-high fencing surrounding the complex the state capitol is locked down. in addition to the enhanced police presence, 1,000 heavily armed national guard troops are stationed at the building and at nearby state offices. they wave to drivers and greeted people on sunday. i watched many thank the police and guard for being there. >> we really appreciate you

being here. >> the key thing we need to stress is the cal guard is always going to be respectful of those who want to demonstrate peacefully. so we're hoping it remains that way. hoping for the best case scenario to happen and our soldiers are prepared and ready for their mission. >> this heightened security comes after the insurrection at the u.s. capitol and a warning from the fbi that an armed group is planning to storm government offices in all 50 states on inauguration day. sacramento has been hit by protests each week since the election. some have turned violent. the chp denied a permit for a 3,000-person pro-trump rally scheduled for yesterday. christina bish was the organizer. >> it's just better everybody stay away and stay safe and be calm. >> reporter: now she is turning her attention fully to gathering signatures to recall governor newsom. >> this is crunch time. we have over a million signatures. we're almost there. and we're going to recall this governor. >> reporter: capitol police are also investigating threats of gun violence by women who oppose covid vaccinations. >> you guys are pathetic. >> reporter: they spoke during

public comment at the senate budget hearing this past thursday. >> 17 million guns were purchased in the united states. what do you think they're going to do with them? >> we didn't buy guns for nothing. >> thank you. >> we're not taking your shot! >> reporter: vaccine proponent state senator richard pan was the target. >> sometimes people say it's just trolls, people are just saying things. but unfortunately it becomes real life. >> reporter: the violent right-wing fringe group the proud boys has been at the center of recent confrontations in sacramento. but in an interview with abc's matt gutman in miami their national chairman is telling members not to attend any inauguration day protests. >> i think we can be a lot smarter, a lot more effective, we could run a lot more lean and get our message across in much more creative and intelligent ways. >> and word has reached local 3r0ud boys the leadership of the

central valley chapter tells me none of its members will be here on wednesday and they're spreading the same word to other patriot groups. but the violent left-wing fringe is calling for large turnout. from the antifa sacramento twitter account. anti-fascist sources tell me they expect sources to travel from throughout the state wednesday. this is what happened the last time antifa called for a major response. many questions up in the air. you have to wonder whether both groups will see this new security and stay away from the capitol or whether there could be another outbreak of violence. for the i-team, dan noyes, abc 7 news. dan, ama? >> yeah, dan, it will definitely be a tense 48 hours or so as we wait to see what happens. thank you, dan. the fbi is involved in the case of a napa man arrested last week for stockpiling weapons. with the inauguration looming everybody is getting extra attention. abc 7 news reporter wayne freedman spoke with the suspect's mother. >> reporter: it is the last kind of publicity this british automobile repair shop would ever want. same for the mother of the man

who owns it. >> i think it's all about what's happening with the inauguration, it's all precautionary and they're using him as an example. >> reporter: her son is 44-year-old ian rogers, now in napa county jail with $5 million bail after sheriff's deputies say they found he had a stockpile of weapons and explosives. napa sheriff's deputies moved on rogers on friday after an anonymous tip from someone who said he thought rogers might be harmful to other people. inside the house and the business departmenties say they found 50 weapons including semi-automatics plus 15,000 rounds of ammunition plus gunpowder plus five pipe bombs. >> well, fireworks from >> reporter: is that what they got? >> fireworks. >> reporter: i've heard there were 15,000 rounds of ammunition. >> well, he did have that. but he's had that for years. >> reporter: ian rogers' mother never said why he had that ammunition but at the least this is a case of bad timing two weeks after a mob stormed the

capitol and two days before the most highly guarded inauguration in american history. former neighbors say that rogers was a vocal trump supporter and a good person to have in the neighborhood. >> he was really quiet. he was really respectful. anytime my kids needed help with their cars or i needed help with my car, because he is -- he owns a mechanic shop, he would always help us. he wasn't -- there was nothing erratic about him. >> reporter: the fbi is on this case as well. we'll know more when ian rogers appears in a napa court for arraignment, possibly tomorrow. in napa wayne freedman, abc 7 news. vice president-elect kamala harris resigned from her senate seat today and thanked the people of california. >> i'm not saying good-bye. in many ways i'm now saying hello as your vice president. but i do want to thank you. for the honor of representing

the place of my birth as a proud daughter of california. >> harris was elected to the senate in 2016. california secretary of state alex padilla will replace her and become the state's first latino senator. live coverage of the inauguration begins wednesday at 6:00 a.m. bright and early. it is here on abc 7. now to our efforts to build a better bay area. the coronavirus vaccines are key to making that happen. one lot of the moderna covid-19 vaccine is being linked to a higher than usual number of allergic reactions. abc 7 news has confirmed these bay area counties received doses from that batch in question. alameda, contra costa, marin, santa clara and san francisco. none of the counties report any increase in allergic reactions associated with that batch of video. california received about 330,000 doses from the lot. >> the lot is about a tenth of the whole state's supply. to try to hold that back as they're doing the investigation is not an inconsequential problem. >> fewer than ten people needed

medical attention over a span of 24 hours when that batch of vaccine was given in shots in san diego. the state says out of an extreme abundance of caution it is recommending health care providers stop using vaccine from that batch. more than 3 million doses of covid vaccine have been shipped to health departments and health care systems across california. but the backlog is still really in bad shape. abc 7 news reporter stephanie sierra is tracking it for us. she joins us live with the story. seve? >> dan, more than 1.9 million covid vaccine doses are waiting in freezers across the state. that's the worst backlog in the country right now. and today the governor was not very transparent about it. >> reporter: the governor announced today california has now administered more vaccines than any other state. getting 40% of our doses out and into the arms of our health care workers and most vulnerable. but the tweet is a bit misleading. the reality is california has received more vaccine doses than

any other state, so it's expected we administer the most. >> i want californians to know it's like a flywheel, we're making progressive, moving with deliberative speed. >> reporter: what's not expected is why the state continues to fly behind most of the country. abc 7's analysis of cdc data shows california ranks 45th behind wisconsin, north carolina, virginia, mississippi and nevada when it comes to the number of vaccine doses administered per 100,000 people. >> the facts are the facts. there's a large number of vaccines that have yet to be put in the arms of nursing home staff and residents. >> reporter: mike wasserman sits on the state's vaccine advisory mitt. >> 1.9 million vaccine doses have yet to be used. from your perspective what do you think is driving the backlog now? >> looking at the data, looking at the numbers, that a lot of the outstanding vaccines that are still not being used are vaccines that were meant for those high-risk people and they

haven't gotten to them. >> reporter: according to data released by cvs and analyzed by abc 7, only 5% of assisted living and other long-term care facilities have received the first dose. that leaves more than 13,000 other vulnerable high-risk communities across the state that have yet to be vaccinated through cvs, including 17 skilled nursing facilities, a huge kink in the backlog. >> i don't think the state has a lot of clarity at this moment in terms of how much vaccine they're getting from the federal government. >> reporter: it raises the question if we keep at the current pace could some of the 1.9 million doses stuck waiting in freezers go to waste? >> i don't believe so, stephanie. both pfizer and moderna, once it's off the production line, the vaccine has a six-month life in frozen stage. >> reporter: he says the real problem revolves around finding the storage that accommodates specific temperature requirements for both pfizer and

moderna's doses. he says that too could be contributing to the backlog. >> that is hard to do. to get the necessary freezers and the chain of custody processes for the -- for these temperature requirements is not immediate. those take time. >> reporter: the governor did say the state will administer 1 million vaccines within ten days and that period ended last night. according to our vaccine tracker the goal fell short. more than 282,000 doses. live in the newsroom, stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. >> that's a lot of doefdoses. we know the governor's pushing for the rest of the allocated doses to be released to states that need them the most. is that contributing to the backlog here? >> reporter: yes, that is what we're hearing from the vaccine advisory committee. the state doesn't know how many additional doses will be available. and that's impacting the launch of vaccination sites here in san francisco. >> okay. stephanie sierra. thanks, stephanie, very much.

santa clara county investigators have linked the new more contagious variant of covid-19 to several large outbreaks including the one at kaiser san jose that happened on christmas day infecting at least 90 people and killing one. >> doing this type of whole genome sequencing and understand ing how the virus is changing in its own evolution is very important. >> this is a very important signal to us that we have to leave in and do a lot more investigating. >> reporter: health officials have said this variant is more transmissible but does not appear to cause more severe disease. data shows the vaccines are effective against this strain. to stay up to date on coronavirus and the vaccination efforts go to abc7news.com/vaccine. it is martin luther king jr. day today, of course. but is the civil rights icon being remembered correctly? our abc 7 news race and culture reporter julian glover speaks with dr. king's daughter about

her father and how his legacy should be honored today. i'm spencer christian. our weather will be windy and warm for a short time longer, but then comes cooler and wetter. i'll have the a if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back,

inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

today of course we remember the life and legacy of civil rights icon dr. martin luther king jr. he would have been 92 this year had he not been murdered in an attempt to silence the civil rights movement. today as the nation continues to grapple with issues of social justice dr. king's work and his teachings are as important now as they ever have been.

abc 7 news race and culture reporter julian glover spoke with nlk's daughter, dr. bernice a. king, on how her father's legacy should be remembered. and julian is live now with more. julian, i know what must have been a very powerful conversation. >> reporter: it was an absolute pleasure and an honor to speak to dr. bernice a. king. we spoke about just about everything, including what the current movement for black lives would mean to mlk, the dangers of his words and teachings being cherry-picked and also how his legacy should be remembered on what would have been his 92nd birthday. >> i think we're in the thick of it. >> reporter: are dr. bernice a. king, the youngest child of the late dr. martin luther king jr., was only 5 years old when her father was assassinated in 1968. she believes today's fight to improve the lives of marginalized people has awakened the same violent acts of white supremacy that led to her father's killing five decades

ago. >> the white race is on fire. but i don't want us just to label it because daddy would encourage us to still do the hard work of seeking to penetrate hearts while we are addressing policy. >> reporter: hundreds of thousands of people across the country protested in the street in the summer of 2020 to fight for changes in policy and policing in response to the police killings of george floyd, breonna taylor and countless others. the daughter of the late civil rights icon said her father would encourage today's activists to further coordinate and collaborate in the push for change. >> we have a collective power and when we stand in it we can move mountains. >> i saw you tweeted this morning, "dear politicians and political influencers, when you tweet about my father's birthday remember tha he was resolute about erred kating racism, poverty and militarism." do you feel as though your father's teachings are often cherry-picked? >> they are cherry-picked to

people's convenience and comfort. >> across the country we've seen examples of police protecting protesters and protesters embracing police, and it's been beautiful to watch, and i just want to leave you with a quote from martin luther king jr., that we must learn to live together as brothers or we will perish together as fools. >> reporter: misquoting dr. king's words and weaponizing his legacy has become a popular political faux pas over the last several years from the white house briefing room to the house floor. >> the great leader in this country, dr. martin luther king, who once said the time is always right to do what is right. >> i was listening to a commentator a few years ago who said that dr. king has been turned into santa claus, kind of this jovial happy person who said -- >> i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. >> but i was a freshman in

college when he was assassinated and remember that he was not well loved. his whole history has been revised and sanitized. >> i feel the need to continue to invoke my father's because if i don't invoke them and invoke them in the right context, then people will be misled and they will whitewash and misappropriate his words. >> reporter: she reminds us at her father is revered today mlk was one of the most disliked men in the country according to a harris poll from the year he was killed. >> he's not a figure to be flattened into a cardboard cutout. you know, this was a full spectrum thinker who had a radical critique of racism, war and poverty. >> i submit this afternoon that we can end poverty in the united states. our nation has the resources to do it. the question is whether our nation has the will. >> reporter: which of your father's taechgds, his words,

his messages do you think would most resonate with the people of today? >> remember what daddy said, that power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love. >> such an important and wonderful conversation i was able to have with, again, dr. bernice a. king, the daughter of mlk. our entire conversation is currently up on our abc 7 news bay area app. i invite you to go watch it there. again, we touched on just about everything, including what dr. bernice a. king is most hopeful for. reporting live, julian glover, abc 7 news. >> what a terrific conversation. i envy you that, julian. i was a young child when he was killed. you were not yet born i don't believe. so in some respects he's very much a historical figure for you. what has he meant to you personally over all these years, if i may ask?

>> that is such an incredible question, dan. i think his life and legacy is one to be honored and revered, but i think what is most important about his life and also the conversation that i had with dr. bernice a. king is that we continue to do the work, that we don't just quote him and remember him on his birthday or the day that we decide to celebrate and remember his birthday but we actually put some action behind the spirit and legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. >> i got chills. you're right. and 365, too, not just on this day, on his birthday, julian. good point. >> exactly so. >> great job. thank you very much. tough a story for julian, he'd like to hear from you. reach out to him online on twitter and fbs dpbs. you can find it >> the weather is warm. you know if you stepped outside today.

in honor of mlk day martin luther king iii was one of our guests today on the 3:00 p.m. newscast getting answers. he is the son of the legendary civil rights leader and we asked him how his father would react to what's going on in america right now. >> i think my father would be greatly disappointed in where we are as a nation at this particular moment but he would not give up on the nation. he believed in the power of people, the power of young people, the power of change. >> he added that while today is recognized as a national day of service every day really should be a day of service. and many of those honoring dr. king today strongly believe his vision of racial and economic justice is perhaps stronger than ever. abc 7 news reporter leanne melendez spoke to san francisco's newly appointed poet laureate whose work focuses on those issues. >> i am free. ♪ praise the lord ♪ >> reporter: that was a year

ago. this is today. ♪ also because of the pandemic the caravans were the new marches on martin luther king day. this one in oakland and another in el cerrito. >> we've seen so many episodes of police brutality, institutional racism, discrimination. it's important for us not to remain silent as these events occur. >> i wasn't going to go but if i don't go i won't be able to live with myself. >> reporter: others continued to treat this day as one of service. in campbell volunteers helped to clean san tomas park, aware of keeping their distance. dr. king died in 1968. he would have been 92. yet despite all of his teachings many will argue that this past year has served as a reminder that there is much work to be done in this country. >> it is built on permanent war

against black people, indigenous people. >> reporter: tonguo isen martin is san francisco's new poet laureate. his work has focused on the deep disparities that exist in this country. >> i'm optimistic about the potential of the people. i'm optimistic about the -- about where a turn in the masses can take. >> i just want to do gd's will. >> reporter: in san francisco lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. >> gosh, dan, we've had so many great interviews to listen to today. >> we have. and every year at this time we bring out all of these quotes and we interview people and it's so inspiring. spencer, for you particularly i know you'll talk about the weather in a second, but i know it's very inspiring to you particularly because you lived through a lot of difficult times in this country. >> i lived through the jim crow era. i grew up in the old south. it wasn't until i was 20 years old basically that all those barriers started coming down and

obviously martin luther king jr. was one of my heroes. i was a junior in college in 1968 when he was assassinated. but his spirit lives on. >> it does indeed. >> shall we talk about weather? >> sure. >> yeah. let's do that. we had an amazing day around the bay area today. no fewer than ten record high temperatures for this date. 80 degrees in santa rosa. almost 80 in roqueland and kentfield. san jose. all around the bay area. numerous record highs for this date. so on we go. along with the warmth we had potentially dangerously high wind. and the winds are still with us gusting 60 to 80 miles per hour over some of the higher peaks around the bay area. we have a high wind warning in effect for those areas in orange representing the hills and the mountains. and in the yellow a wind advisory in effect for the reminder of the bay area till 6:00 p.m. tomorrow. overnight look for windy conditions continuing under mainly clear skies. low temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. and then tomorrow sunny skies and continued windy conditions.

highs ranging from about 70 on the coast to about 70 around the bay shoreline. to upper 60s and low 70s inland. so it will be another much warmer than average day. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. it will start to get a bit cooler on wednesday. it turns sharply cooler on friday with a chance of some showers. and it's going to remain pretty cool through the weekend with highs near the bay and inland only in the mid or mid to upper 50s. and then on monday a pretty good chance of rain. so we may see showers on friday but a better chance for meaningful rainfall is next monday, dan and ama. >> we look forward to that. thank you so much, spencer. >> all right. on to abc 7 news sports director larry beil and some warriors action tonight, larry. >> absolutely, dan, ama. as ric flair famously said, to be the man you've got to beat the man. or was that shakespeare? i get them so confused sometimes. anyway, the warriors are going to try to do that tonight. can they take down lebron and the defending cha
