being very naive and quite frankly, you're fired! [ laughter ] >> well, larry david did call out you're racist, which was clearly a scripted move to derail protesters. david referred to the $5000 bounty offered for someone in the audience to disrupt trump. >> [ protesters ] protesters did march to rockefeller center last night to express their displeasure with trump's appearance on the show. that's where "saturday night live" is recorded. the activists were upset with trump's disparaging words used over the summer to describe mexican immigrants. and continuing with campaign 2016, we're just two days away from the next republican presidential debate. in top candidates are feeling the heat. ben carson is facing scrutiny over a questionable autobiography. donald trump continues to fan the flames in his own way. >> reporter: dr. ben carson's life story helped him surge to the top of the polls.

with a 100% electric nissan leaf... what will you do? how far will you go? how much will you see? electrify the world. now with a class-leading 107 miles on a charge, the nissan leaf is the best selling electric car in america. controversy. here they are... plain red . starbucks has unveiled its new so-called holiday cup. the subtle design is stirring

up quite the controversy. here are are the cups, plain red with a green logo. some customers say this year's design, or lack thereof, is a disappointment. some go as far as calling the cups part of a war on christmas. others say who cares? >> as long as the coffee tastes good, i don't care what cup it's in. >> doesn't have a comment yet on the backlash, but shows this on its website. they say this year we wanted to usher in the holidays with the purity of design that welcomes all of our stories. thanksgiving is fast approaching and if you plan on buying a fresh turkey, it will probably cost you more this year. that's because some 9 million turkeys were wiped out by the bird flu this past spring. with the shortage comes higher costs. industry insiders say prices could increase 20 to 30%. fresh birds may be hard to come by because grocery chains may run out early. overall, more than 45 million turkeys and chickens died because of the bird flu this year. and it appears people are

still fascinated with the jfk assassination. the license plates from the limousine he was in when he was shot have been sold at auction. someone paid $100,000 for them. the opening bid was $40,000. after the assassination, the limo was sent to a cincinnati company for upgrades. the plates were tossed in the trash, but the co-owner scooped them up and put them in storage. here's what the plates look like today, 52 years later. that '64 on the upper right is the expiration date. here's the front license plate from the day in dallas, november 22, 1963, in case there are any doubts. another piece of history from the '60s sold at auction this weekend. john lennon's acoustic guitar went for $2.4 million. it's the guitar he used to write "i want to hold your hand" and "please please me." it disappeared in 1963 after a show in london, only to show in

san diego 50 years later. the sale price is a record for a single guitar. well, the earth opened up outside an ihop restaurant and swallowed up a number of cars. take a look at this. the massive fissure formed last night. 12 cars and trucks and suvs is 30 feet wide, 400 feet long. no one was in any of the cars when it happened. investigators are working to determine what caused the erosion. they say it appears to be along a pipeline. and check out this picture of the sinkhole we found on twitter. someone took this aerial view from a drone. it gives you a good perspective on just how big that sinkhole is. >> boy, i'll be sure to avoid that ihop in mississippi now. >> don't go there. we've got rain to contend with in the bay area today and not much actually. most amounts less than a tenth of an inch. when it did rain, it poured, as the front enhanced as it moved south. most of the shower activity has

headed well south and east of the bay area. yet don't be lulled into a false sense of security. there's more on the way. we look at the gleaming golden gate bridge and the numbers right now down to about the 60- degree range for much of the bay. 58 here in the city. 58 for san jose. in santa rosa, 59 degrees. low pressure over the pacific northwest is now going to sink south into the bay area so that tomorrow after we dispense with a lingering shower or two tonight we might get a thunderstorm or two tomorrow, as the low presses south. the forecast is for up to a half inch of rain when all of this moves through on monday. after that, low pressure scoots out of the area and as it heads out, we'll replace it with fairly anemic high pressure. then increasing sunshine for tuesday. on the future cast, though, here's how things look by 11:00 tonight. you can see some of those showers popping up offshore and then as the day progresses tomorrow, freezing it here at 6:00 a.m. as the day gets under way. in this case with that low pressure approaching, low

pressure, unstable low is like unstable people. don't know what they will do next. you can just see widely scattered but fairly robust cells all over the area tomorrow. as the time lapse runs on, you can see widely scattered activity coming in over the bay area. by activity, i mean rain. that's why there are flash flood watches up around lake and solano counties, parts of west sacramento county. so if it really rains hard, it could get debris flows. winter weather advisories are posted through tomorrow night. from take show to south, 4 to 8 inches. live over the city, more rain for tomorrow. more than we had today. heaviest amounts, half an inch to an inch. then it will clear on tuesday. we'll be dry rest of the week. next chance of rain coming in a week from today, on sunday. heading out, you will not escape the rain. 52 at mendocino, same for

sacramento. lake tahoe and yosemite, snow on the way. overnight, bottoming out in the upper 30s. san francisco, 50 degrees. sunrise at 6:42 tomorrow morning. for tomorrow, the numbers are well below average for this time of the year, 7 degrees cooler than we expect. in san francisco, just 58. 56 for concord. in san jose tomorrow, 60 degrees. extended forecast, wet tomorrow and then tuesday through friday, tuesday through saturday actually, plenty of sunshine before we thicken the clouds and the plot next sunday, when more rain moves into the bay area. carry and umbrella, my friend. dennis o'donnell will be following this advice. >> indeed, especially after today. a good old fashioned knock- down dragout between the raiders and steelers, just like the good old days. was this the beginning of a new era for the 49ers? let the quarterback controversy begin. kickoff is next. dude, dude, dude! this is bad. i think we're stuck. we're going to have to like talk to each other or something. nooo.

i don't like this elevator. (elevator bell dings) how did that feel? was it fun being stuck? i do not like getting stuck! so, the nissan leaf only gets 84 miles on a charge. the 2016 chevy volt gets an estimated 400 miles or more on a full charge and a full tank of gas. woah!

great change comes from doing the right thing. like the radical idea that health isn't an industry. it's a cause. so we do things differently. we combine care and coverage. and believe prevention is the most powerful of cures. so forgive us for not going with the flow. we just think the flow should go with us. which makes us rebels with one cause. your health.

. in three seasons with the jaguars, blaine gab earth went 5-22 as a starting quarterback, but now he's got a shot to turn his career around as the anointed starter in san francisco. he walked out with the guy he replaced, colin kaepernick. in the second quarter, he gets the 49ers on the board to a wide-open sellic. 7-3, 49ers. gabbert, not wide open, but he threads the needle, 17-6 san francisco. into the half, matt ryan checks it down to davante freeman.

the fourth quarter. i wanted to go out there today and just have fun. you play well when you're having fun. that was the biggest thing. >> am i happy that we won the football game? absolutely. do we need to win a football game? absolutely. but i mean, go to bed tonight, get up in the morning and we got to get after it. we got to get some work done. >> got a bye week, two weeks to talk about who the quarterback will be after the bye. raiders haven't been to the playoffs since 2002, but a win in pittsburgh could put oakland on track to end over a decade of futility. latavius murray rushes for 96 yards, but leaves in the second with a concussion. not a problem for the 49ers. the backup quarterback rumbles in for the touchdown. raiders down 35-28. later in the fourth, aldon smith gets his first sack of the season, knocking ben roethlisberger out with a foot injury. big break for the raiders. raiders with the chance, but

derek carr and wallford are not on the same page. the pick in the end zone, but carr would get another crack at it with under 2 minutes to go. check out the beautiful pass floating in there to michael crabtree, covered by a linebacker. that ties the game at 35-35. too much time left on the clock? roethlisberger out of the game. up to landry jones to win it for pittsburgh. get it to antonio brown and watch him go to work. amerson fell down on the play. brown off to the races, 57-yard pickup to finish off a 084-yard day. chris boswell in to win the game for the steelers. chip shot is good. 38-35, they win and drop the raiders to 4-4 on the season. >> i think we let the team down. i mean, when your team -- your offense, they would have put up the amount of points they did today, you know, we were the weak link as far as the team is concerned, so that's tough when

you're not carrying your weight. >> really 4-4, raiders on the outside looking in. they lost a tie-breaker with pittsburgh today, but the steelers will be without ben roethlisberger for a few weeks after he suffered a midfoot sprain. broncos peyton manning making his return to indianapolis. manning didn't complete any passes to the new tight end vernon davis, but early third quarter he did find emmanuel sanders, 64-yard touchdown. that cuts the colts' lead to 17- 14. early fourth quarter, now tied at 17-17. andrew luck avoids pressure and gets it to ahmad bradshaw, who scores from 9 yards out to give indianapolis the lead. the colts win 27-24, handing denver its first loss of the year. cam newton and the panthers looking to go 8-0, taking on green bay. fourth quarter, carolina leading 30-14. cam newton connects for the 14- yard touchdown pass to give the panthers a 23-point lead with 9 minutes left. but then green bay comes back. less than 4 minutes to go,
