and happening today governor newsom unveiling his budget, and this morning a sneak peek on what's in it for you. as the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good friday morning to you. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm scott mcgrew in for marcus washington. a check of your weather with kari. good morning. good morning. so we're starting out with light rain on our friday morning. we have storm ranger on it. it's scanning around the bay area and picking up on exactly where the rain is falling now. you can have the same tool, too, if you have the nbc bay area app and zoom in to where you live. some light rain moving through san francisco, parts of the north bay as well as the east bay and though we haven't seen much of the rain in the south bay if you're going to be outside later today in santa rosa the grass may be wet. the rain will be moving on. we'll talk about the weekend ahead. that's coming up. what's going on now for the commute?
6:02 am
kari, that light rain you mentioned, we're looking at it on the map. the green highlighting is one concern. keep that in mind, highway 4 is susceptible out of antioch. just a tiny bit of slowing on our sensors. not a major change. 6:02. president trump is back tracking now with a tough message to his supporters who took part in the capitol siege. >> tracie potts live from capitol hill with that plus new departures in the last day of the administration. people are quitting, tracie. >> reporter: a couple top cabinet secretaries who would be
6:03 am
part of removing the president if they stayed. sources say there have been informal staff conversation abouts invoking the 25th amendment to do that in the final days of this presidency. >> and confidence -- >> reporter: in a new white house video president trump acknowledges joe biden's victory. >> a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th. >> reporter: and changes his message to rioters who broke into the capitol -- >> to those who broke the law, you will pay. >> reporter: more than 200 lawmakers want the president removed or impeached for inciting the riot including one republican. >> the president is unmoored from reality and its oath. >> reporter: articles of impeachment hoping to act in the 12 days before biden's inauguration. >> unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions from the outset. >> won't invoke the 25th
6:04 am
congress. congress should come back in session and impeach the president. >> reporter: even those who don't want the president removed agree he bears some responsibility. >> his angry rhetoric was reckless, his actions were the problem not the solution. >> reporter: more than half a dozen administration officials have resigned since the capitol attack including labor secretary elaine chao and secretary of education betsy devos. some specifically citing the president directing angry crowds to march to the capitol and fight. >> i can't stay here. not after yesterday. police chief steven sund resigned under fire for failing to prevend the massive security breach. and then, sadly, overnight we learned one of his officers died in that riot. that officer engaged with some of the protesters turned rioters at one point.
6:05 am
wept back to the office and collapsed. >> so tragic. we know that 55 people have been charged but, of course, hundreds were in and outside of the capitol. i guess the fbi is using social media to track down some of the rest? >> reporter: right, they are. they're looking at social media accounts to see if people posted pictures and video. they've gotten 4,000 tips so far and are checking with hotels and airlines. the fbi is circulating a photo after person they believe may be involved in dropping a pipe bomb at both the democratic and republican headquarters. the photo comes along with a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest. by the way, neither of the bombs went off. they were defused but they want to track down the person who either knows about or placed those bombs at both political headquarters. >> wow, frightening.
6:06 am
good thing they didn't go off. as california's covid crisis rages on, now at odds with the state over how to handle it. the hospital association argues the state is not doing enough to handle the overflow of patients. the recent speeding up of patient transfers and limits on nonessential surgeries may help. >> today governor newsom announced his plan for struggling businesses and hospitals. kris sanchez joins us live with how much money he's talking about here. kris? >> reporter: hi there, laura. we don't have to tell anybody that this pandemic has been an ongoing crushing event and the governor has added in money to help families. not a lot of cash but about a $600 payment for people who make under $30,000 a year. it could be just the little bit of help that somebody needs. the governor's budget proposes
6:07 am
$4.5 billion in a stimulus program of grants and tax incentives and $575 million for small businesses in the form of grants up to $25,000 each with some money set ased for small museums and such. a jobs initiative. businesses could get tax credits for hiring workers, as well as buying more equipment. some of those jobs could come from maintenance projects put off. with an eye on the environment in the future the governor wants to spend about $1.5 billion to get more of us to buy green cars and to build more charging stations. the governor will unfail his full budget today. we will follow all the details onair and online. kris sanchez, "today in the bay."
6:08 am
>> thanks so much, kris. 6:07 right now. some grim news this morning. the u.s. is hitting all new records in infections and deaths. yesterday was the deadliest day for this nation in the pandemic with more than 4,100 new deaths. in california it's a similar situation, more than 36,000 new cases. 583 people died. a live look at los angeles behind me and the skyline. it is hard to fathom what is going on there. health leaders say one in five tests come back positive. tets deaths at a rate of one every eight minutes. mayor eric garcetti points out the number of people murdered in the city year wide or year long is smaller than how many people died in one day from
6:09 am
coronavirus. at the same time new concerns about the accuracy of one covid test being used at l.a. county sites. the company curative makes the test and stands behind the testing kits. new statewide guidelines. health leaders are recommending doses be given to lower priority groups before those vaccines expire or when high priority demand subsides. once the county has offered and administered vaccines for the hypest tier, if nobody else wants them, they should move to the next tier but still offer the vaccines to higher priority people if they want them. health leaders say another million vaccines will be administered over the next ten days. in the meantime the state is issuing a new travel advisory. here is a live look at sfo this morning where people are being strongly discouraged from coming to california from out of state. if travelers do come to
6:10 am
california, they're being asked to self-quarantine for ten days. the advisory recommending essential travel only within 120 miles of home. 6:09. our storm ranger busy tracking rain as it moves across the bay area. you can see wet roadways out there. meteorologist kari hall has another look at our forecast. this rain is a welcome sight. we always need it in california. absolutely with this extreme drought going on. that's where we've seen the more measurable rain for this morning as the system quickly moves through but it's starting to clear up around ukiah and you can see the back edge as it continues to move elsewhere across the bay area with light rain this morning. all of this pushing up along the coastline. we could see breakers reaching up to over 25 feet today. st
6:11 am
so it's going to be dangerous. once the storm system moves out, we have a nice afternoon. i know some people will want to get out and enjoy it. what's ahead for the weekend coming up. mike, what's happening now with the commute? kari, i have to say not a lot. very quiet on the chp report. i don't want to jinx anything. let's look at the roads. the maps are moving smoothly with the green sensors all around the perimeter. a little slowing in san jose and that cleared up. the same thing for the tri-valley. the slowing for 84 cleared up. a little bit of fog there as well. we see dublin and that's why the speeds are able to maintain the limit. you can more clearly see the mist settling on the roadway all morning. 6:11.
6:12 am
the luxury the electric car business got more competitive. the latest bay area company now charging full speed ahead to take on tesla. wall street seems like nothing can trip it up. some pretty bad news about, well, honestly really bad news about jobs numbers. wall street moves forward. it's in the green. you're watching "today in the bay."
6:13 am
6:14 am
happy friday morning. right now at 6:14 we're starting
6:15 am
out with some light rain moving across the peninsula into san francisco and still spotty, light rain for your way to work in the east bay. we'll talk about the weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. and looking at palo alto, there may be mist kicking up off the roadways. not a major concern for traffic. chp did update. we are seeing the effect of the huge spike in coronavirus. they are terrible. wall street seems to be shrugging it off. the latest number shows 140,000 fewer jobs, the first negative number since april. with so many americans dying every day, 4,000 a day statistically, some of those people would have lost their job
6:16 am
or did lose their jobs, would have applied for unemployment insurance but didn't because they died. payroll unemployment declines by 140,000 in december. unemployment rate unchanged at 6.7%. the markets shrugging off the report hoping that vaccines will come and that there will be more stimulus. as for boeing, boeing will pay $2.5 billion to settle a justice department investigation into whether it misled investigators on the max that led to two deadly crashes. federal prosecutors probing high-profile lapses by boeing in telling the faa about shortcomings before the accidents. amazon shut down prime pantry that delivered groceries and household essentials. it still has the whole foods system. this was one of the retailer's earlier attempts at selling food
6:17 am
online, stocking up on expensive to ship items that could fit in one big box. mercedes-benz calls had a hyper screen that takes up almost the entire width of the car dashboard. it will debut this year. tesla has a new competitor. the electric sedan can go 500 miles on a single charge but it comes with a large price tag starting at $169,000. they plan to produce a cheaper version in 2022 available to travel more than 400 miles on a single charge. maybe you could buy a few of them, luck be a lady tonight. more than half a billion is up for grabs during tonight's mega
6:18 am
million drawing. this is a live look where a $75 million ticket was sold about a decade ago. sometimes people like to go back to what they think were lucky places. let's say you were the luckiest person ever to live on this earth and won both jackpots, it would pay $980 million before taxes. the odds of winning 1 in 303 million. some perspective. you have far better odds of becoming a saint in the catholic church. 1 in 20 million. and the odds you'll win a gold medal at the olympics is a meager 1 in 662,000. or giving birth in conjoined twins is 1 in 200,000. there's always that chance. if you don't play you can't win. >> i was going to point out -- quick math, what are the odds of
6:19 am
you becoming a saint, who win as go gold medal and then has conjoined twins? >> that's math way beyond me. can i throw in my own math, mike, and laura said if you won both of them the odds of that. if you won both, the super lotto and whatever it is, both of them, and did that 187 times, won both of them 187 times you still would not have as much money as elon musk. >> that's true. >> wow. >> hopefully he's not playing. >> can the kids play outside today? i need that recess forecast, kari. >> yes, and it's needed these times to get outside and get fresh air. we're taking a look at storm
6:20 am
ranger. some light rain falling in san francisco, mill valley and also some hit or miss showers in parts of the east bay but it's not very heavy and once again it's moving fairly quickly. we're seeing it clear to the north of us. so once this pushes through the next couple of hours the rest of the day is all good. the grass may still be a little bit soggy. looking at how much rain they've measured in parts of the north bay up to a tenth of an inch of rain. this is not a big storm system and for other areas. we still haven't measured anything in san jose. so it's been pretty dry here and temperatures will be slightly warmer reaching into the low 60s with a mux of sun and clouds. 62 in napa today. a nice day for getting out and going for a walk. it won't be bright and sunny. the sun won't be beaming down on you. we will see the clouds mixing in as well as our temperatures reach into the upper 50s and low
6:21 am
60s during the middle of the day. so going through the forecast we'll have a lot more opportunity to get outside without seeing that rain. unfortunately, we are going back to a dry weather pattern and it's going to be missing from the seven-day forecast to the end of next week and as a result our temperatures will be going up. inland valleys will reach into the upper 60s. for san francisco some dry weather after today. watching out for king tides that may cause coastal flooding. our temperatures there reaching into the low to mid-60s. mike, you are keeping an eye on the commute. so far it's been friday light. >> very light, kari. let's look at the map. some light rain in patches. one disabled vehicle is 280 at
6:22 am
380. i wanted to make my maps move because i haven't had much going on this morning. the same thing over on the other side of the bay. just out of the maze. the golden gate bridge shows you the damp roadways. be careful out there. back to you. always good advice. thanks, mike. 6:22 right now. the year 2020 set a lot of records but there's one you probably didn't know. we'll tell you about it up next. >> you're watching "today in the bay."

6:31 am
we've measured and what else is in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, this may slow some people down with the wet roads on the way to work. >> it should, kari, right? use caution, folks, even if you don't have to because of the volume of traffic like at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's very light but you see the slicker pavement there and also the flags, a little breeze, so that may be a concern for some but none for chp. look at the maps. on the upper right side. the mustard color, that's a little fog that's starting to creep in places, the usual suspects, fairfield and over to sacramento, antioch, rio vista and even brentwood and discovery bay. watch those areas. the speed sensors are moving very smoothly right now. back to you, scott. mike, president trump reversing course amid calls for his immediate removal from office just two weeks before his presidency officially ends. the president signaled there will be an orderly transition to the biden presidency, one of the
6:32 am
very first times he's ever done that. despite that the calls for the president to be impeached or removed are growing in congress at this hour. support for the 25th amendment including one congressman from illinois. a u.s. capitol police officer has died. he was injured while protecting the nation's capitol from rioters. that brings the number of people killed to five including the san diego woman shot by police as she tried to climb through a broken window. protesters are expected to rally against president trump tomorrow in the bay area and cities nationwide.

6:43 am
it is 6:42. as we take a look at the radar, the rain is getting in and out of here and the rest of our day is looking nice and sunny. we'll talk about this and what's ahead for the weekend coming up in a few minutes. live now to washington and president trump still causing upheaval with less than two weeks left in his presidency and ahead of the inauguration. let's get right to our team coverage. >> we begin with tracie potts. talking about impeaching the president again, others want to invoke the 25th amendment. >> reporter: exactly and they are different. they could both involve congress, but timing, the 12 days left, is an issue here. the 25th amendment to the constitution, part of it says if the vice president and the majority of top offices, essentially the cabinet, believe that the president cannot do his job, he's unfit to hold office,
6:44 am
they will let the president of the senate know. the president, though, can object. and if there's a back and forth between them, congress would have to decide whether or not that would be invoked. the president can say, no, i'm fine. and then congress would have to make that decision. impeachment is different and we know what that is. we've been through the process before. the house impeaches or charges the president. the senate tries him to determine if he is guilty of those charges. it took a few months the last time around. we have 12 days here. articles of impeachment have already been drawn up. they haven't been introduced, though, in the house yet. it could work in the time line, censure. some consider it a slap on the wrist but would get congress on the record saying they think the president did something wrong in inciting or inspiring this riot.
6:45 am
>> what a possible ending to the presidency. thanks so much, tracie. so if you have kids, you know helping them make sense of what is happening right now, it's really not so easy. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez will be in d.c. to cover the inauguration for "today in the bay" and, kris, my goodness, you have faced far more dangerous things than i ever had, but with all the recent violence i'm sure your own children have a lot of concerns and questions about what mom is going to go do. >> reporter: i told my kids i was getting this assignment and they were so excited i would be in d.c. for the inauguration. we had a conversation about the gravity of that, the responsibility that comes with that kind of honor and bringing that news back to our community. once we saw the images at the u.s. capitol, they had a lot of questions about whether or not it was safe for mom to go there. my kids really can't escape the news because both their dad and
6:46 am
i are journalists and we watched that mob storm the capitol. we saw the message, murder the media, scratched on the door there. we saw the crowd turn on the journalists. some equipment was smashed to bits. and my youngest, who is 12 years old, asked if it was safe to go. i said i would make all decisions with her in mind a. fremont teacher told us this is really hard to process for kids because the hits just keep coming. >> they can't sit long enough to reflect on what's happening before the next thing happens. >> reporter: so here is what experts say. if you have kids under 7 try to avoid letting them see that coverage if possible. they just can't process all of that. also, elementary school kids, talk about winning and losing. talk about how words matter and you can talk about the social
6:47 am
injustice component, too. they are old enough to reck niz that themselves. with your high school students offer to have a conversation but take their lead. they will basically tell you what it is they need to know. in our family my husband and i try to reiterate that they are safe, that it is our job to protect them, but that they also have the power to make positive change in the world. and if they see something they don't like, they should do something about it. laura and scott? >> so what about when it came to actually seeing what those people were doing, invading the nation's capitol? that's what my kids were most shock at, why are those people doing that? with all the activity of people having a voice but this went so much further. >> reporter: we had to have that kfgs about how this is even possible and talk about the role of the police and how the national guard might be there
6:48 am
but they can't deploy themselves. it takes a call from a higher level, and we know at this point that president trump didn't call for the national guard for quite some time. people are doing the right thing when they are supposed to but it is just increasingly complicated to keep having this conversation and like the fremont teacher said before you can finish processing that one conversation something else happens and you have to move on to the next thing. what a challenging time to grow up. >> it's taking home schooling to a whole new level. communication is important. >> warriors head coach steve kerr and lebron james both responding to those events in washington. speaking about the double standard we saw on television.
6:49 am
