thousands of supporters of president trump rallied in the nation's capital calling it the million maga march. echoing the president's false claims he won re-election and counterprotesters marched as well. both demonstrations began peacefully but as night fell confrontations erupted between both sides with police in the middle trying to keep the peace. a similar scene unfolded here in the bay area. this is video from walnut creek during a racial justice demonstration where people marched downtown through walnut creek and things did turn violent. some people were even seen burning flags reading trump 2020. "today in the bay's" sergio quintana has more on another politically charged day in a divided america. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., clashes after thousands turn out to a rally for the president and counterprotesters mobilized to confront them. in one incident someone appears to throw a fire work where
7:03 am
people had been dining. it's unclear what led up to the dramatic scene. the confrontation punctuate what had been allowed -- >> usa! >> reporter: but largely peaceful show of support for the president throughout the day. and president trump rewarded those who turned out with a slow drive-by in his motorcade. in video posted to social media you can see the president waving from inside his armored suv before driving on to play golf. some came far and wide. >> to show trump we support him and love him. >> reporter: in sacramento a smaller event but with the same message. they support the president despite his electoral loss and several recent court defeats in his ongoing efforts to fight results. as supporters of the president continue to mobilize, opponents are already pushing president-elect biden to issue a slew of executive orders to roll back many of trump's policies. in san francisco demonstrators called on the incoming biden administration to release people who have been swept up in
7:04 am
president trump's immigration crackdown. >> most importantly i would like to see all these people out of detention centers, every single human being out. >> reporter: that includes immigrants who have been detained for minor infractions like speeding tickets and children separated from their parents as they illegally cross the border. president-elect biden has pledged to immediately rescind the muslim travel ban, fully restore the daca program and review other immigration policies. sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. back to washington, d.c., where we've learned at least one person was critically wounded, stabbed, during a fight between protesters last night. at least 20 people were arrested during the demonstrations. our website nbcbayarea.com has the latest as we follow rallies happening across the country and right here in the bay area. now to continuing coverage of the pandemic. as we told you yesterday morning
7:05 am
covid-19 positivity rates are on the rise and now so, too, are hospitalizations. there are now more than 68,000 people hospitalized with covid-19 across the country. that's more than at any other point during this pandemic. here's the situation in california. you can see the summer the number of people hospitalized peaked back in july and then it began to drop steadily. but over the past ten days we've started to see a slight rise. right now there are more than 3,500 people in california hospitalized with covid. a lot of celebrations look different this year, of course, because of the pandemic including diwali, a festival of lights celebrated by many hindus that marks the new year and typically includes parties, sell braces. this year, of course, nearly everything is canceled because of covid-19. restaurants that ordinarily would be packed are empty offering only takeout this weekend. >> diwali is bigger than
7:06 am
mother's day and valentine's day for indian restaurants. so all of the bay area companies will have diwali parties, so they are in banquet halls. this used to be a lot of business. >> there are some socially distanced diwali events going on. for the most part indian restaurants that rely on this holiday revenue are taking a big hit. vice president-elect kamala harris wishing people a happy diwali. she hopes everyone celebrating the holiday around the world has a safe, healthy and joyous new year. now to a live look in san francisco. the sun is rising, but for the second day in a row indoor dining is once again off limits. we first told you about this yesterday morning on "today in the bay." it's another blow to city
7:07 am
restaurants already struggling during the pandemic. owners aren't giving up. instead they're getting creative. some pivoting to make dining outdoors more comfortable during this colder wetter weather investing in extra heaters and umbrellas. others are focusing on takeout and curbside pickup. working to adapt once again and do their part to keep people safe even at the cost of losing business. >> we understand it's in the best interests of public safety and health. we understand that, but running a business we have our responsibilities to the people that work for us, and this is just going to make it a little bit more difficult and challenging for us to be able to be sustainable. >> san francisco rolled back indoor dining because of the rise in covid rates in the city and across the state. now to a sharp rebuke for the department of homeland security. a federal judge in new york has said that chad wolf has not been
7:08 am
acting lawfully as chief of homeland security. the judge also declared that wolf's suspension of protections for migrants brought to the u.s. as children is invalid. back in june the supreme court ruled that the trump administration wrongly tried to drop protections for dreamers. wolf suspended the deferred action for childhood arrivals program known as daca. homeland security has not yet responded to this ruling. longtime customers of a popular east bay sports bar are in mourning. the owner of ricky's has passed away. you might know him, ricky ricardo owned the famed spot that was a huge draw for sporting events especially for raiders games. the bar has been a fixture for decades and "sports illustrated" even ranked it as the second best in the entire country. the future of the bar remains uncertain as it has been dealing with financial difficulties
7:09 am
because of the pandemic. ricky was 75 years old. i was lucky enough to interview him. what a nice man. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up just shy of 7:09. we'll take you live to our conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the press." plus, outdoor workouts not enough to keep this revolutionary san francisco gym open, cross fit closing its doors for good. [ whispering ]
7:10 am
7:11 am
you've lived here two years. the personal attacks aren't helping, karly. don't you have like a hot pilates class to get to or something? [ muffled scream ] stop living with at&t. xfinity can deliver gig to the most homes. welcome back. it is time now to bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press" for our weekly chat. hi, chuck. as always, thanks for joining us this morning. >> of course. thank you, kira. >> president trump continues to spread unsubstantiated claims there was cheating in the election, fraud, that he won re-election. but still it's worth noting he
7:12 am
did win a historic 70 million votes despite covid and a weak economy. is there any hope that this divided nation will come together under a new president? >> i think can you always have hope. we're a pretty polarized society. i think what you saw in the results is what happens when you have people who get their information feeds from their own silos, look for people they agree with rather than trusted sources of information. i do think the best explanation is the alternative realities that, unfortunately, i think millions of americans live in. i think there are those that are watching now live in one that i think is grounded in facts, i would argue, and those that are looking for information that makes them feel better. even if it's not factual. i think this is something that donald trump has exploited to
7:13 am
huge success. he's exploited distrust with the press or with government, and it's been a very successful political strategy so you can't look at that. if you want an honest discussion how we got here i would argue it's not been done on the up and up. >> yeah, for sure. i want to turn while we still have you to congress. do you think the door is now open for a passage of a substantial covid-19 stimulus package or is this gridlock we've seen for four months now likely to continue until a new congress and president take office? >> look, i don't understand why we didn't have covid relief two months ago. i think you and i have had this discussion for four straight months, what's going on? why haven't they had agreement. it's been a head scratcher and then some. and now mayors and governors
7:14 am
saying i can't shut down the economy if there's no financial backup from the federal government. we're in this horrible situation where you have the democratic house and the republican senate just not seeing eye to eye. you would think the post election mind-set would soften the views a bit. there's no softening. i still expect something before the end of the calendar year. my goodness the current events as they stand right now with the virus, i mean, it just seems to be like public service malpractice not to do something. there was very little movement. that's for sure. very little movement so far. >> we can only hope that americans who are struggling so much can get some support. chuck, sorry for continually asking you about that. thanks as always for your insight. >> no, you've got it. >> we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." exclusive interviews with chief of staff to president-elect
7:15 am
biden, ron klain, who was just appointed this past week. a member of the transitional covid-19 advisory board, and governor asa hutchinson. we hope you tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 right after this newsca newscast. coming up in 30 minutes we will have our post election coverage continues with nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. in other news now they don't feel appreciated. they say no one is listening to them. this weekend dozens of santa clara county housing authority workers let the world know union workers outfitted their cars with signs, with banners, urging the housing authority to allow them to work from home. the caravan drove to the commissioner's home in san jose. union workers tell us they can't keep up with housing demands as it is and now to limit exposure the authority shortened their work day to six hours. >> they want the control and
7:16 am
they want to oversee everyone except for the fact management is not there to oversee anyone. so we can do our jobs from home nine hours a day and serve our community even better. >> we have reached out to the housing authority for comment on this contract dispute. we have not heard back. the authority, by the way, mainly helps county residents find section 8 affordable housing. now to a revolutionary san francisco gym that will open its doors for the very last time today. the very first cross fit gym to open in san francisco back in 2005, just the 21st to open nationwide, is closing. this is video from crossfit showing a typical workout. the reason for closure, they just weren't making enough money. shelter at home orders forced them to close completely for eight months. and when they did open, the gym had to offer outdoor workouts and limit their capacity like so many others.
7:17 am
now back to the weather. king tides could be hitting bay area shorelines today and tomorrow. this is video from the last time king tides hit san francisco. you can see it caused flooding along the embarcadero. those typical areas that flood should be on alert today. a perfect time to check in with vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast. it's the bay shore, it's the coastline, it's that parking lot in mill valley, lucky drive in san rafael, all those areas that are at risk of flooding need to watch out today and tomorrow. is that right? >> that's right. and there is a coastal flood warning in effect. that will be in effect through tomorrow. all those great locations you mentioned, you have to be careful. if you're going to be heading to the beach for any reason, remember not to turn your back to a wave. we'll be seeing these king tides really heading into the afternoon and the evening as well. so looking overall at the sky, though, not as foggy as we saw
7:18 am
yesterday. some of that moisture left over from that system that moved in late friday. today we're going to dry out. but if you live in the north bay you have a chance of seeing some shower activity. we're seeing a little bit of that on radar. walnut creek, look at this beautiful sunrise over san jose. a great way to start our sunday. and our current temperatures right now, look at napa, fairfield and concord in the 30s right now. so definitely feeling the cold temperatures there, also in the tracy area. chilly down through the south bay. 41 degrees for san jose. in the low 40s for santa rosa and let's take a look at radar because we've had storm ranger up and scanning ever since we saw the initial rain move in last week and more rain heading into the workweek. right above ukiah a little bit of shower activity up through there. and so we're going to keep the chance of that for the first half of our morning for the north. but right now it's looking like it will stay pretty far north. as far as the rest of the bay
7:19 am
area, high pressure building in that will dry us out and warm us up when it comes to temperatures. look at your daytime highs. really comfortable and nice. going to feel springlike. mostly clear. a combination of sun and clouds will start to move in later tonight. san jose topping out in the 70s. oakland, 57. san francisco, 66. martinez, 67. and here are those king tides that kira was talking about, coastal flood warning will be in effect through 2:00 p.m. on monday. so sunday's high tide -- today's high tide will be at 10:44 a.m. just a little under 7 feet. and then monday's high tide will happen at around 11:26. i'm pretty sure the nbc bay area crew will be out to capture that on video so we can get an idea of what we're dealing with. so please be careful. coastal trail roads could possibly see localized flooding heading into this evening. so looking out ahead when is our next chance of seeing rain?
7:20 am
a system moving in late monday night into tuesday and wednesday. so what can we expect? overcast skies later into the evening. you could see the chance of some rain and rain really makes its return heading into tuesday. fast forwarding this time line look at the north bay mountains could potentially see a little over an inch of rain including the santa cruz areas. highway 17 is likely going to be a mess heading into tuesday and then by wednesday afternoon we start to see the rain sort of move out later into the evening. for the next seven days a pretty active weather pattern. we sort of decrease tomorrow because of the cold front that moves in. notice looking out ahead into next saturday showers could make their return yet again so we're really active this week but good to see some rain. kira? all right. you warned us. thanks, vianey. 7:20 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up one of the most significant days of the year. we'll take you to the special moment for a 95-year-old world

7:37 am
safety and health so we understand that, but running a business we have our responsibilities to the people that work for us. and this is just going to make it a little more difficult and challenging for us to be sustainable. san francisco rolled back indoor dining because of the rise in covid rates. many of the country's biggest retailers are imposing new restrictions on just how many customers can go inside and empty store shelves left bare are back. it's like march and april once again. here's terry mcsweeney. >> reporter: with covid cases around the country going up many retail stores are working to keep crowds down. walmart is now counting customers who enter and exit the store out of an abundance of caution, the retail giant says. the way to keep capacity at no more than 20%. other big name stores more

despite president trump losing the electoral vote 306-232, the same margin he had over hillary clinton in 2016, and losing the popular vote by more than 5 million votes, he has refused to concede. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us now to look at that. hi, larry. as always, good morning to you. it's worth noting that a president doesn't have to concede but it has happened in every other presidential election. what do we make of this move by president trump? >> it's such a difference from what we saw with president obama meeting with then president-elect trump . this is not like selling a house and somebody moving out and somebody moving in and that's that, kira. there are so many complexities. the president appoints 1,200 people. more than that it's an tune to understand what's going on right now at the moment, how can the incoming president meld well
7:48 am
with the outgoing president and all the problems therein. none is happening because there's a big wall between president trump and the incoming administration. >> and beyond the ceremonial handshake or maybe elbow bump in these times of covid, what kinds of tangible problems emerge? i know there have been stories this week that the biden team had not been privy to classified information or presidential daily briefings as most other transition teams would be privy to it at this point. yeah, you have symbolic problems like the handshake and the turning over of thoughts and ideas and just simple stuff like that. all that sort of ceremonial stuff that you mentioned. but along with that the symbolic stuff and the trump supporters have become emboldened from what we saw this weekend. substantively, kira, the
7:49 am
presidential daily briefings, those are critical because they tell the incoming president all the things that are going on around the world and where the u.s. might or might not be involved. rather than just stepping into it on january 20th, you know ahead of time. there are no meetings whatsoever between the incoming president's administration and the trump folks with all the agencies and cabinet people who will be the opposites of the folks that president biden brings in. all of this is off the table and leaves the incoming administration blinded. >> what leads so many supporters of president trump to continue to believe it was rigged even after a couple days ago his own election team had come out and said there is no evidence that it was. chuck todd touched on the president's decision to repeat
