now? it feels like the excellent thing that happened right now, the parade just blocks from bourbon street, where a terrorist killed 14 people on new year's day. super bowl 59 lead federal coordinator says the attack altered this weekend's security plan. the governor sent additional bollards in. we brought in national guard and i brought in more personnel as well with over 100,000 people, including president trump. authorities will be fanned out across the city, in the sky and on the mississippi river and beyond, patrolling the water. boats like these will be able to get emergency personnel downtown in minutes.s. i the streets are jammed. federal authorities say in an emergency. state and local officials would make decisions with the nfl. for anyone who is skeptical of this city, of this state's ability to make sound judgment calls with an event like this, what would you tell that person? i would tell them that the city and the state have made concerted efforts, and are

continuing to make concerted efforts to keep their citizens safe. we've worked really well with them to make sure that they have the resources they need to do that. that was jesse kirsch reporting for us during the super bowl today. our sister station, telemundo 48, will be airing a spanish language telecast of the game. live coverage starts at 3 p.m. from new orleans. again, that's on telemundo 48. back here locally in new overnight. police on the peninsula need your help finding the person who hit a pedestrian and drove away. it happened around nine last night in san mateo. the man was walking near fashion island boulevard and south norfolk street under the highway 92 overpass. police say a car hit him and drove away. that man died at the scenene. he was just 56 years old. if you were in the area or have any information, you're asked to call san mateo police. the university of california student government is now suing the

department of education, and it all ties back to elon musk's department of government efficiency, or doge, gaining access to their private information, including student loan data. the suit, filed friday, accuses the department of education of illegally sharing the information of millions of student loan borrowers with elon musk and other unauthorized people within the doge. uc represents 230,000 undergrads, 70% of whom get federal financial aid. the data includes names, addresses, bank accounts, social security numbers, credit reports, and more. we spoke with an adjunct professor from stanford who teaches ai and ethics. if you want the name, the loan amount, the income amount, the location amount, it's going to be so defined. you're going to know who the person is, who they are, and what their dynamics are. and so really that's not really required for a cost cutting

exercise. this uc lawsuit comes as federal judge temporarily blocked musk's team from accessing u.s. treasury files. doge staffers gained access to confidential information last week, including social security numbers. this order blocks anyone who isn't a treasury worker from accessing that data. it also orders a copies of that data to be destroyed. will president trump's hiring freeze on federal jobs impacts the fire fight in california? last month, president trump signed an executive order preventing any new federal hires. that means there will be no onboarding for thousands of firefighters in advance of the summer fire season. california senator adam schiff responded by sending a letter to several u.s. agencies over concern that the hiring freeze will lead to a shortfall of seasonal firefighters for our state. schiff is calling on the government to exempt

firefighters from that federal hiring freeze. federal agencies typically hire more than 15,000 seasonal crews each year. federal investigators have recovered all major pieces of both aircraft involved in that deadly midair collision over the potomac river back on january 29th. the american airlines jet and a blackhawk helicopter collided, killing all 67 people on board. both investigators will use the recovered debris to see if any markings could reveal the angle of the crash. they're still looking into the altitude of the plane and helicopter at the time of that deadly collision. back here locally, people in the south bay are invited to join 1000 residents who've already trained to be prepared in the case of a disaster or emergency. it's a 20 hour training program in san jose called cert, which stands for community emergency response teams. first responders give

volunteers the skills to handle community disasters like fires or medical emergencies. yesterday, people trained at the san jose fire museum. they conducted drills and put their knowledge to the test. after volunteers complete the training, they typically meet up once a month. the program is free to anybody in san jose. a san francisco business owner who was shot right outside of his shop is now closing, but he says he's not abandoning the city. martin alev, who owns the vapor room near san francisco's upper market street, held a farewell celebration for his dispensary on ninth street yesterday. it will be closing down as he recovers after a major trauma. san francisco police released this surveillance video from january 27th. martin was outside of his shop taking a smoke break when a man rode up on an e-bike, pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. martin says the man shot him seven times. the gunman was

later killed in this shootout with san francisco police, who found a cache of weapons in his apartment, which happened to be in the same building as the vapor room. martin says he didn't know the man or doesn't know why he was shot. he hopes to reopen again after taking some time off. we're going to try again somehow, hopefully in another location, because i don't really want to work at this location just because of the memories. the vapor room has been around since 2002. it's been at that ninth street location for the last six years. it is almost ten past the hour on your sunday morning. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen welker, who

gold bond believes touch says everything. it says... i see you. i feel you. and...i know you. gold bond. get in touch with irresistibly touchable skin.

have security experts and former intelligence officials warning

that could lead to counterterrorism. the white house then walked back some of the details trump laid out. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen. pretty in pink. great to see you this morning. trump has since defended those remarks on gaza and renewed his calls for u.s. takeover, though he did say thursday it would not involve american boots on the ground. i'm wondering if, you know, in talking to your experts this morning, if it's clear what's included in the details of this supposed plan. hi, kyra, thanks so much for your nice comments. noting i am wearing green earrings for my eagles tonight. good luck. good luck. in terms of what's included, thank you. in terms of what's included in the plan here. look, i asked national security advisor mike walz, one of my guests today, about that exact question. what is the specific plan for taking

or dealing with gaza once the war is over? one thing that was notable, it's clear it's still very muc a work in progress. but he noted that a lot of other countries have reached out and expressed interest in working with the united states, the global community, to address this crisis. now, what will that lookok like? hwouldn't get specific about which countries, but i did think it was notable. move the ball forward a little bit and underscored the fact that president trump's initial proposal of the united states taking over gaza, where he didn't leave, putting boots on the ground off the table and then walking that back, clearly it seems to be moving in a very different direction, kyra. all right. well, you always get the scoop, chrhristian, and we look forward to seeing you in about 45 minutes from now. and listen, i'm always a niners fan, but good luck to your eagles. we don't want those chiefs to win again. i'm sorry. just had to put it out sierra next year. next year for the niners. there you go. thanks. great to see

you. and we hope you join christian for this morning's meet the press. she will have exclusive interviews with national security adviser mike walz, as i mentioned, as well as senator andy kim and poet amanda gorman. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay, meet the press is on at 8 a.m, right after this newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment will take a look at the task president trump gave elon musk to look for what he calls wasteful spending within the federal government. back here in california, local skateboarders held the capitola classic 2025 yesterday. take a look at this. this was set up inside an old sears store at the capitola mall. it's been empty since back in 2018. the event was free and raised money for the santa cruz animal shelter. love that. now to coffee for a

cause. haagen-dazs is teaming up with habitat for humanity to support wildfire relief. whenever someone buys a coffee collection milkshake, the ice cream shop will donate $1 to the rebuild l.a.a. campaign organizd by habitat for humanity. the campaign is running at haagen-dazs stores nationwide through march 31st. a good excuse to get a shake. we want to take you now to levi's stadium, where, as we've been mentioning, super bowl 59 is today. but it's also the beginning of a year long drum roll for iconic santa clara levi's stadium. because did you know levi's is hosting the super bowl next year? this sunday though, today levi's and verizon are teaming up. the company is announcing the largest simultaneous super bowl party ever. you may have seen the commercials. verizon is holding its first ever super bowl fan fest in 30 nfl cities across the country, including right here at levi's stadium. all tickets have been reserved, according to the

event's website. doors open at 1 p.m. you didn't manage to score a ticket, here are some other options on where to watch the big game. several free watch parties in san francisco, including at novella in the mission, where doors open at two woodbury bar near oracle park, also is holding a similar event starting at 1 p.m. chiefs fans hoping for that three peat no offense, buzz works along. 11th street is the place to be. ■doos open at noon. we posted a full list on our website nbcbayarea.com. the morning after the big game can be tough. many of us will be needing that extra caffeine boost, and starbucks says they want to help. on monday, starbucks will be handing out free post game day coffee. you have to be a rewards member to score that free hot or iced beverage. you still have time to sign up for the deal through the starbucks website. and as people wait to see who wins the super bowl today, a california dog named

after a 49ers star has already won the top prize at the puppy bowl. deebo samuel has won the most popular competition. you may remember this guy we told you about him from the sacramento spca. they posted these photos of deebo with the lombardi trophy. the poodle mix is a member of team ruff. he beat 15 other puppies from shelters across the u.s. to win the title. this is the second year that the niners have had a puppy bowl player. bark purdy was the runner up last year. oh my gosh, they are so cute. i hope he got adopted. who wouldn't want a most popular winner in their house? time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. your dogs are much bigger than that, but oh so cute. oh my gosh. and i love all the puns mixed in there. well, all the dogs today and the next couple of mornings

are going to nd those fluffy sweaters because it is so cold out there for their morning w a l k 30 degrees right now in petaluma. there's a lot of frost and freeze messages going on dublin right there. the sunshine is out, but we are at that freezing mark. and same story down here for san jose e at 38 degrees. but i expect these cold mornings to continue as long as we have the calm weather for at least through about tuesday. we'll talk about why that will change. meantime, san francisco 42 degrees on the maps. i think this is the warmest place on there right now, but our recovery will be fine as we go on into the afternoon. expect lots of sunshine and nearing that 60 degree mark for santa rosa. up in wine country, parts of concord and down here into the south bay, we'll do 57 right there through parts of palo alto and out in the coast. now here's where things are going to change. as we go on into tuesday. you're going to feel a little bit more of that wind picking up and the skies turning cloudy as we get another february storm in here. so let's get a better look at this down

into the bay area region. we could be looking at that wind and the rain picking up as we go on into late tuesday. by wednesday that commute looks soggy already. now this hit right there is looking more towards the central coast as we go on into that wednesday storm. but thursday that looks soggy and very disturbing as we could be looking at the chance of some landslides, some flooding. we've already gotten a big storm. mount tam, with last week's storm, got over 17in of rain, so we really don't need that rain right now. with the winds and everything picking up, that could look at a little bit of a tricky situation going on into our thursday plans, really covering the state, covering the sierra. so how much are we talking about here? let's pause it for wednesday. maybe a half an inch. that looks okay. reasonable. we can deal with that. but look at these contours just really lighting up our maps as we go on into that thursday and even possibly friday storm the concerns right now. like i mentioned, the coast, the mountain ranges there and the santa cruz mountains, those

colors, two to maybe three inches of rain. we'll see how san jose does with the rain shadowing effect, of course, but already a saturated ground up into the sierra. we are really recovering with a slow january, really ramping up these totals as we go on into the weekend of valentine's day, 2 to 3ft, with, of course, those gusty winds in the ridges. so just save it. maybe as we go on into sunday to get the skis and snowboards out. chilly mornings will continue. temperatures really not breaking out of those upper 50s for the next couple of days, and we prepare for some stormy weather there as we go on into wednesday. thursday. those showers on friday for valentine's day should start to be fizzling out there as we go on into san francisco and the peninsula. i think saturday looks better and i believe that parade, if i'm not mistaken. so we'll keep watching that and hope for everybody to have a good time with some drier conditions. yes. good that the rain is clearing up just in time

for the parade. i guess a rainy valentine's day gives you an excuse to stay indoors. save your money. yeah, save some money. all right. cinthia. well, our husbands would love to hear us say that, wouldn't they? at least mine would. cinthia. thanks. 21 past the hour. there is much more ahead on today in the bay coming up. jimmy butler sparking the warriors to a win with his debut at golden state. the double digit deficit they overcame to get the victory against the bulls.

making a great first impression with the warriors. the six time nba all-star, making his golden state debut in chicago. the bulls originally drafted butler in 2011. butler showing off his hops. he had 25 points in his first game with the warriors, but the bulls were hitting from everywhere and getting the kind bounces like this one from

three. chicago opened up a 24 point lead. then stephen curry took over. he dropped 24 of his game high 34 points in the third quarter. the warriors come roaring back. they beat the bulls 132 to 111. they're back to 500 on the season sparked by jimmy butler and his solid debut for the warriors. as soon as i got here, everybody was telling me to be myself, play my style of basketball and we'll make it work. i'll fit in just fine. so i went out there and did that to the best of my ability. don't touch me. and we got a dub. pretty fun having jimmy on our team. yeah, he's an amazing player. the skill, the strength, the ability to get to the free throw line and then just his presence out there. he's a he's a lion out there. you know he is. he is a force. he's a lion. and remember don't touch him. all right. the wait is almost over. we are just hours away from kickoff. the kansas city chiefs taking on the philadelphia eagles in super bowl 59. this is a rematch of

super bowl 57 won by the kansas city chiefs. the eagles would like to avenge that loss. the chiefs are chasing football immortality. a win, and they would be the first team in nfl history to repeat as super bowl champs. i think guys are ready to go. i mean, obviously it's a lot of build up into the super bowl and guys have done a lot of guys have done it before. but you can you continue to detail the details, you continue to work hard and all this build up, it makes you ready to go on super bowl sunday. have you went back and watched the tape of the last super bowl, and if so, what would you like to change going into this one? i'd like to win the game. i'd like to win the game at the shark tank. san jose taking on dallas. the sharks attack early. william buckland scores his 11th goal of the season, giving san jose the early one nothing lead. then the stars dominated the game. seven players scored. the stars beat the sharks 8 to 3. san jose has

lost four in a row and ten of their last 11 games. that's a look at your morning sports. i'm anthony flores for today in the bay anthony thanks. good to see the warriors finally winning again 26 past the hour. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up big game just a few hours away. kick off at 330 in new orleans. we'll take you live to the big easy with more on what you can expect. and as the nation prepares for the super bowl. bay area leaders are they're getting ready for the big handoff. we catch up with them as the south bay gears up to host serup

i'm barbara and i'm from st. joseph, michigan. i'm a retired school librarian. i'm also a library board trustee, a mother of two,

and a grandmother of two. about five years ago, i was working full time, i had an awful lot of things to take care of. i needed all the help i could get. i saw the commercials for prevagen. i started taking it. and it helped! i was better able to take care of all those little details. people say to me, "barbara, you don't miss a beat." prevagen. for your brain. good morning. it is sunday, february 9th. just a live look. beautiful. look at the sun shining over the clear san francisco skyline as we wake up on super bowl sunday morning.

full of sunshine. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. we hope all of our viewers are somewhere safe and warm because it is literally below freezing in some of those spots behind you. and just in the last 30s some numbers keep on coming down. example number one up there in calistoga, it went down to 29. it just bounced back to 30, but it is just freezing through the bay area this morning. 29 in danville, boulder creek, 40 right there through san francisco. so we're going to exclude the city out of the frost and the freeze messages. but 32 right now in morgan hill. our recovery is nice though. we go on into the day checking in on pleasanton upper 50s, lots of sunshine for our sunday plans, and we go into the afternoon with those cold mornings and nights continuing once again. but that moisture that will come in as we go on through the middle part of the week will help the numbers recover in the overnights just a little bit, but bring about some stormy

weather the second half of the week. so i'll be back with the timeline. who could get the most of it? and what i'm watching coming up in about ten minutes. kira. all right, cinthia, thanks. well, as we've been talking about, kickoff for super bowl 59 is at 330 this afternoon. and we want to take you live out there to caesars superdome as the kansas city chiefs are looking for that three peat super bowl win. and the philadelphia eagles are looking for a little revenge for their super bowl loss to the chiefs two years ago. and no super bowl sunday uld be complete without a check in with my friend today in the bay's jay gray in the big easy hosting its record tying 11th super bowl. and as always, you're cooking your breakfast. you're visiting with us in the bay. jay, what what's happening out there today? kari. you're the best. yeah. we're cooking a little breakfast burritos this morning. breakfast tacos. we've got a we've got some chorizo going. we've got some hash browns, we've got scrambled eggs. and

since the sun came up, we added some brats to the mix as well. so it's never really too early for a tailgate. and especially especially here in new orleans where they've been having a big time all week. it's just been a very cool scene, to be honest. a lot of people coming down, so many people that come here don't really care about either team,'t but want to be a part of the experience and experience new orleans as well. and so they are coming through. look, my stuff's blowing all over the place. i'm going to start a fire. and so they're just having a great time here and will continue to i would assume, through kickoff. i think if you talk to some people last night over in the french quarter, they said, what game? there's a game here, but there is a game just behind us here. and as you talked about, it should be a really good one. we should see the chiefs and eagles play a tight game they did two years ago. it's going to be neat to see how it all comes out here. i want to know who you got in this one. who do you think is going to win? i know my

journalistic ethics keep me impartial, but i just talked to kristen welker and i did say i hope her eagles win because, i mean, spread the wealth. chiefs let someone else in for once, but i'm sure i'm getting boos from people at home right now as i admit that i'm a 49ers girl through and through. so like you said, people in new orleans are like, what game? of course, it's just a regular day in new orleans for the party people out there. jay, i won't even ask, what's in your red cup? you are right, but i hope you have a lot of fun out there. we always love seeing you. stay safe, my friends. until next time, sierra. thanks again jay. while the niners aren't in the big game. womp womp. bay area leaders have a very important reason to be there in new orleans. they're getting the handoff tomorrow because levi's stadium is hosting super bowl 60 next year. i got the chance to speak with some of our bay area contingent. joining me now to talk about super bowl 60 are san

jose mayor matt mahan and bay area host committee president and ceo colleen jan mohammed. welcome, you two. thanks for being awake with us this morning. you're there on someat of a reconnaissance mission, so to speak. colleen, let me begin with you. what are you paying attention to in new orleans to bring back for the super bowl experience here in the bay area next year? yeah. it's so good to be here. and welcome to new orleans digitally. we have been here for a few days now since tuesday. the nfl puts together a pretty formal host city program where the future host city comes in. we have two days of meetings and they literally walk us through everything. we see all of the official nfl venues. we have a full classroom day where we go through, you know, the things that you don't see and you don't visit. and so i'm taking notes on a lot of things. we have legal pads full right now. the nfl has expanded super bowl exponentially since the last

time it was in the bay. so there's a lot to learn as we think about bringing it back next year. yeah, i so vividly remember that ten years ago. mayor mahan, if i can go to you now, it must be thrilling. a thrilling time for you. and really everyone here in the bay area as we prepare not only for the super bowl next year, but also the world cup in 2026. we recently counted down 500 days until the world cup kicks off. obviously, we want to focus on the super bowl right now, but i'm wondering, you know, how is san jose planning to provide for the influx of all those people, the athletes and the fans? and, you know, i also have to mention in new orleans, are you taking notes on safetyy there? yeah, im taking lots of notes. we're incredibly proud in san jose and really the entire bay area region to host both super bowl and world cup in the same year. i don't think anyone else has ever done that. so you're right. i'm walking around with a notepad, paying particular attention to things like mobility. when people land at one of our three international

airports, how do we make sure they feel welcome? they know where they're going. we get them to their hotel and then out into our communities to experience the incredible diversity, food, music, culture that we have in the bay area. they're doing a great job here in new orleans. i mean, they are really showing off their local culture. and so we're taking a lot of notes and thinking about how we highlight just the incredible cultural diversity and food scene that we have in the bay area. i want to ask you about monday. the super bowl handoff is officially happening. do you know, either of you what that entails? yeah, it's going to be exciting. i was joking with mayor mahan before we came on is it's an actual handoff. there's a football, so we're going to make sure we practice before we. that's right. no fumbling. there's no fumbling the handoff. but yeah, we will have at 8:00 local time here, the official handoff between the new orleans contingent and the bay area, the commissioner facilitates that event. they will release the super bowl 60 logo, which is very exciting. and we will accept on behalf of the

commissioner and new orleans, the torture, the football. and the clock starts ticking for the bay. mayor mahan one last thing before we go. what are you personally going to do to ensure that the 49ers are in the super bowl next year? no, i'm just kidding. thank you. i'll be cheering them on same, same. i want to thank you both so much for your time this morning. i know you're working hard out there, so thanks for making some time for us. colleen jan muhammad of the bay area host committee and san jose mayor matt mahan, thanks so much. and a reminder, super bowl 60 is february 8th, 2026, a week from a year from yesterday. as for super bowl 59, today there is a spanish language telecast. that version will air on our sister station, telemundo 48. live coverage starts at 3 p.m. in spanish from new orleans. meanwhile, governor gavin newsom is setting aside $50 million to help defend immigrants amid and

oppose mass deportation orders. newsom signed two laws on friday. one allocates $25 million for the state department of justice to fight legal battles against the federal government. the other earmarks $25 million for legal groups defending immigrants facing deportation during president trump's first term. the two sparred over climate laws, water policy and immigrant rights. it has been one month since san francisco's new mayor, danielle lurie, took office, and he marked the occasion by joining hundreds of volunteers with refuse. refuse. that's an organization dedicated to cleaning up the streets. lurie and his team helped pick up trash around van ness avenue and bay street. there are about 50 volunteers in his group, or 80 volunteers in his group. organizers say it means a lot to get the spotlight from the mayor, who did promise to clean up san francisco during his campaign. cleanups are just an easy kind of intro into civic

engagement and community service, because it's literally the easiest thing you can do any person, children do it. it's all ages can pick up litter that they find on the ground, and it's super impactful because a lot of thatoes end up in the bay and the ocean and causes pollution, especially those single use plastics. and did you know there's at least one cleanup in every san francisco zip code every weekend across the bay in oakland? they're also getting cleaned up ahead of the nba all star game festivities, which begin on friday. interim mayor kevin jenkins teamed up with a number of organizations to pick upp trash, clean up, graffiti and more. jenkins says it's a labor of love. another cleanup event is set for this coming thursday, february 13th. the bay area host committee planning all the efforts for all star weekend, say they are ready to kick off the weekend with a bang. the all star game actually has a really great cultural vibe around it. there's a lot of

things that happen on the court that you'll see, but a lot happens outside of that, and so you'll see activity all the way from the south bay and san jose through to oakland, as you mentioned, even further north. i think right now it's really fine tuning of the details. there's fan events at moscone center. there'll be a lot of b2b and hospitality events as well. several all star weekend events are set to take place in oakland as well, including the celebrity all star game and the hbcu classic, as well as moscone center, as she mentioned, and of course, chase center. still to come on today in the bay. just shy of 740 addressing safety concerns ahead of lunar new year festivities. we'll tell you what san francisco city leaders are doing as we count down to two

i guess what i'm looking for from you is, i mean, i know how the fire affected me, and there's always a constant fear that who's to say something like that won't happen again? that's fair. we committed to underground, 10,000 miles of electric line. you look back at where we were 10 years ago and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true.

skies. 32 in pleasanton. right there. so a lot of frost, probably on those windshields. if you're heading to the grocery store, just give the car a chance to warm up. 41 right now in san carlos. so as you make your way up the peninsula into the city, that's where those numbers are running in the 40s. lots of sunshine and cold. 38 in san jose right now. we'll recover well, though, as we go on into the lunchtime hour. brunch 50s start to make it up into the board, and that winter sunshine will be with us, with those highs really not breaking out of the 59 degree mark for san rafael. parts of south san jose 55 out there in livermore. so a cool day with a similar feel in san mateo. i got to at 56 for our sunday fun day. now those clear skies and really the ca weather will be with us until we go on into about late tuesday. winds will be picking up and our next storm arrives here for wednesday middle of the week. those commutes are going to be pretty tricky. and here's what we're watching. really keeping an eye on this right

there for thursday. the bigger storm. this could intensify otherwise known as cyclogenesis. so a couple of things that we will be watching for over the next couple of days. the rain on wednesday will be light. i think we can handle that. but really what is worrisome is there on thursday with the flooding, that's possible. i mean, we've already gotten a lot of rain recovered well into the month early couple of days of february, and that will bring about some elevated landslide threats to the areas that we're watching. the coastal mountains, especially the marin range, parts of the santa cruz mountains. so just keep an eye on how the forecast could change with us over the next couple of days. the sierra will also get some 2 to 3ft of snow as the storm comes on in. so just some couple of details to iron out before we get to the main storm. but sunday and monday look clear. we'll watch for that chance late tuesday and really stormy weather in through san francisco for really the rest of the week. we should start to clear on up though as we go on into friday, but this is a

pretty typical february forecast. lots of storms every couple of days, and the winds and the cold numbers that continue at least through tuesday morning. all right cinthia, thanks so much. 44 past the hour. more news is i will never forget the picture that i have, i'm the only one that's not smiling. even though i'm with my close friends, i felt alone. i didn't feel pretty, i didn't feel confident. when i got invisalign, i built my confidence. it was the best investment that i could do. ♪ rise ♪ ♪ rise ♪ ♪ rise ♪ (alarm beeping) ♪ rise ♪ ♪ and thrive! ♪ (♪♪) belvita!

ready for two lunar new year traditions the big parade next weekend and the celebration on ocean avenue. the next weekend, on february 22nd. law enforcement and community leaders want to ensure people feel safe to come out and ring in the year of the snake. okay, by choice city supervisors, police chief bill scott, among others gathered right there in the ingleside neighborhood yesterday, walking the streets, speaking with business owners and employees about safety and crime concerns. imagine a home that can withstand wildfires, earthquakes and a housing

crisis. a university of san diego professor says this one can. this is a prototype of a home available through his company, poly house. the 444 square foot home, which was built in a matter of days for less than $300,000. because labor makes up much of the cost of building a home, the maker says a poly house, which can be as small as this or as big as 2500ft■!s, slashes building time and costs. this project is not about reducing labor and reducing jobs. it is empowering local builders and local general contractors to just build more units. he says the units are able to withstand earthquakes and wildfires far better than traditional homes, because the diagonal design of the panels is structurally stronger. he says he could hold a blowtorch to the mass timber paneled walls for hours, and it would not catch

fire. wow. beginning his second term in office, president donald trump hired elon musk to root out bloat in the federal government. as we've been reporting for this, trump created the department of government efficiency, which really is not a federal department, but a collection of musk and his employees. after three weeks at his post, musk has been busy carrying out his responsibilities. musk is serving in the trump administration as what they're calling a, quote, special government employee, according to a white house official. i'm joined now on set by bay area political analyst larry gerston. great to see you as always. there has been a lot of talk about this. yes. help us understand musk's assignment. yeah. let's remember, as you point out, he is not a regular employee. he was not elected. and yet he has been given a wide scope to deal with in the next few months. i mean, if you think about it, here's the list of things that the president trump

assigned to elon musk. these are his exact words slash access, government regulation, dismantle government bureaucracy, cut wasteful expenditures, restructure government agencies. my goodness, any one of these things would would take a cast of thousands to do. and all this time, he is, of course, rummaged through. musk has confidential material, fired thousands of government employees and attempted to eliminate government departments. this all, i repeat, from a person who was not elected, a person who was handpicked and without any oversight whatsoever. it is amazing. it is something i've nevever seen in my life, and its just turning government as we know it inside out. and you've been in this politics business for quite some time, so this is maybe an impossible question to answer because of course it depends which side of the aisle one would would stand on. but what do you think is the consensus of how musk is doing?

well, we know this much. i mean, the republicans are very happy with him. i mean, they're not stepping in and trying to stop him anything. they're largely satisfied now. now, look, he's done a lot of thing here. for example, he's offered government employees. two. 2 million plus buyouts. okay. where the money would come from, we don't know. he's. he's given layoffs, thousands of layoffs. and mind you, if people don't leave, they're going to be laid off. he's rifled through the payment system of the department of the treasury. unbelievable that somebody would have access to that. that impacts almost every single one of us. kira. and he's put a freeze. he tried to put a freeze on of 90 days on all federal payments. social security, water, water grants, everything. okay. now, that was stopped by by the courts. but you can begin to see just the variety of things here. the usaid, the u.s. agency for

international development, known all over the world for being one of the best examples of the united states helping kids. helping poor people, people who are ill, dealing with infections gone. unbelievable that you see this kind of rapid change in three weeks. kira. and there's been a lot of chatter over those three weeks. an unconventional special government employee held by the world's richest man. have you been able to find out how the general american public is feeling about this? not not the leaders on capitol hill? this is, as we say, a developing story. we're going to see more. but but we found two. two surveys from november 1st from november 1st from february. there you see it? right there. two numbers here. two sets of numbers you want to look at. the first one is what kind of influence should he have? a lot. whatever. 27% in november. only 13% now. so it's been cut in half. they don't want him to

have a lot of influence. and then the other thing was this whole question of none. and you saw it go up from 37% to 46%. so it seems to be in these two snapshots that the public is casting a very wary eye. but i'll tell you something. this has got a long ways to go. and we're going to see much more of this. just last night, by the way, the administration stopped the office of through the office of management and budget, the consumer federation bureau that protects everybody's banking. okay. stop. don't do any more work. so watch out. i mean, pull up a chair and expect lots of things to happen. and we'll just have to see about any reaction. and we'll have to see if congress even steps in. because if people are arguing this is unconstitutional, it's not like the constitution can stand up and say, that's right, it's not. congress has to step in and do something about it. unfortunately, we have to leave it there. larry, as always, great to see you. 53 past the hour right now. up next, we have

a quick look at our top stories, including a california lawmaker taking action after president trump's hiring freeze on federal jobs and how he thinks it would impact the fire fht inig

top stories we're following on this sunday morning, including will president trump's hiring freeze on federal jobs impacts the fire fight in california? last month, the president signed

an executive order preventing any new federal hires, meaning there will be no onboarding for things like thousands of firefighters in advance of the california summer fire season. state senator adam schiff responded by sending a letter to several u.s. agencies calling on the government to exempt firefighters from that federal hiring freeze. and as we've been saying, we are 7.5 hours from the kickoff for super bowl 59 at 330 this afternoon. before we go, i want to give you one last live look at the caesars superdome, where the kansas city chiefs are looking for that three peat super bowl win. and the philadelphia eagles are looking for a revenge win after their super bowl loss to the chiefs two years ago. and we want to take you to levi's stadium. the sun is shining. the super bowl will be here next year. super bowl 60. the bay area host committee is in new orleans taking notes. they say levi's stadium will be updating video boards, refreshing club spaces, changing concession stands and nearby cities will be

preparing as well. the official host city handoff ceremony is tomorrow, and during super bowl today, our sister station telemundo 48, is airing a spanish language telecast that starts at 3 p.m. on telemundo 48. so how is the forecast? it looks good to be outside for, you know, the watch parties here. we're looking at clear skies. of course, we have to get through the very cold numbers for today and tomorrow and on to tuesday in the second half of the week. that's when it starts to turn more. much more stormy there, especially thursday. that's the one to watch. all right. good to have that warning, cinthia. thanks to you. and thanks so much to you for making us a part of your sunday morning. we'll have more local news for you tonight at five, six and 11. and we are always on at nbcbayarea.com. we hope you have a great sunday. enjoy the super bowl and we'd love to see you right bac
