>> now 11:00, the state of the union address touched on everything from the economy to our democracy, some of it in front of a tough crowd. >> from kpix 5, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs bay area. >> good evening. i am sara donchey, and welcome to cbs bay area. president biden talked for 73 minutes tonight. he had a lot to say in the state of the union address. he talked about job growth, emerging from the pandemic and threats to our democracy. kevin mccarthy sat mostly expressionless behind the president. democrats cheer the president and a handful of republicans did the opposite. >> instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i am not saying it is a majority -- let me give you -- anybody who doubts it, contact my office and i will give you a copy of the proposal.

>> got a little testy there! katie nielsen with how people in the bay area are reacting to the state of the union. katie? >> reporter: sarah, anybody who follows politics was watching the president tonight. we had a chance to talk with folks i watch party about the remarks. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states! >> reporter: almost 100 people packed into manny's in san francisco for the annual state of the union watch party, including erin fisher, who hasn't missed one since manny's opened five years ago. >> i think it is great to have an opportunity to share with other people who care about politics and also meet people who are making politics happen. >> reporter: manny opened the coffee shop and bookstore in the mission for people to gather together. >> we can sit at home and watch

it or we can gather together, share reactions, listen and enjoy. i am trying to make important moments in our politics enjoyable, fun and communal. >> reporter: the standing room only crowd reacted with cheers, laughs and, at times, booze. when the speech was over, many encouraged people to share their reactions. >> it was a powerful speech. i thought that he drew the line in the sand. as mentioned, the republicans fell all over themselves looking foolish. >> i think the president struck the right message around issues of public safety and police. he was clear that we need reform, and i think that that was a really strong message. >> all right, katie.

a lot of people seeming to have a good time there with a good environment, but i wonder, what was one of the moments in your mind that the crowd reacted to the most during the speech? >> reporter: it had to be the arguing back and forth between biden and the republicans over proposed cuts to medicare and social security. take a look. >> as we all apparently agree, social security and medicare is also off the books now, right? all right! we have got unanimity! >> the ability to get republicans to say they are not going to cut those programs is easily the biggest outcome of that speech. >> so this is big for you because you got the chance to test the waters in real time. i wonder, was there anything the people were surprised by or found unexpected? >> reporter: almost everyone we talked to said they did not expect biden to be as funny as he was, making the types of

jokes that he did. >> he was funny, he was feisty, you can tell of the granddaughter sat him down and said, okay. here is how you need to write this speech. >> an awful lot of what he was saying worked very effectively, diffusing a lot of tension, but also called out a number of issues. >> reporter: a number of people we talked to said his humor was effective, because it was a way for him to get his point across in a way that no one could misunderstand. >> all right, katie, thank you very much. it was certainly not a laughing matter for a lot of republicans. arkansas governor sara huckabee sanders delivered the gop rebuttal, and it did not pull any punches. she said biden had failed, she called him unfit to serve, she mentioned rising climb and inflation. >> at 40, i am the youngest governor in the country, and at 80, he is the oldest president in american history.

i am the first woman to leave my state and he is the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is. the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left. the choice is between normal or crazy. >> so she went on to say that it is time for a new generation of republican leadership. >> joining us tonight are the parents of tyre nichols. welcome. >> one of the more somber moments of tonight, the parents of tyre nichols were met with applause and a standing ovation at the state of the union. president biden mentioned nichols' death and made it his call for change. >> i know that most cops are decent and honorable people, the vast majority. and they risk their lives every time they put that shield on.

but what happened to tyree memphis happens too often. we have to do better. let's commit ourselves to making the words of his mother true. let's get something from this. >> mike thompson wasn't in the chamber tonight, because he was picked to be hakeem jeffries' designated survivor, but he did weigh in on gun control in the wake of the mass shooting in half moon bay and monterey park. >> i think he talked about gun violence prevention in a way that republicans could support. remember, republicans in the house voted with me on my bill to expand background checks. >> also in the gallery tonight, and unlikely duo. paul pelosi and music superstar bono sitting together. they were guests of first lady

joe biden. paul pelosi recovering after being attacked with a hammer in his home. congressman nancy pelosi appeared on cnn and talked about how her husband is doing. >> paul is doing fine. it will take him another few months to be normal, but he is strong and resilient. what it meant was that so many of my colleagues, of course the democrats but many republicans have been very prayerful and kind about this. some of them aren't, but most of them have been. when they responded to that it had some authenticity for me. now to a big international headline. time running out to find victims of the earthquake in turkey and syria.

the death toll nearly 8000 tonight after the massive earthquake on monday. now we are seeing things like this. rescuers pulling out children from under the debris. in syria, a woman gave birth while under a collapsed building. rescuers were able to save the newborn girl, but they could not reach the mother in time. this was at an apartment building in adana, turkey. there was only one survivor. a little girl who is now in the icu. >> if they are alive right now, they have no water or somemethi toto eat or a way y to warmrm u their body. yes. their chances are decreasing. >> one of the big problems now is the weather. it is freezing cold, and roads that are covered in debris are now iced over, too. help is coming from right here in california, though. l.a. county fire department sent a task force to turkey. 81 people and six canine teams will help in the rescue effort.

of course this is a great reminder to make sure that you have your earthquake survival kit ready to go. we posted a link of must-have items to include on our website, kpix.com. the oakland police chief has been fighting to get his job back after alleged misconduct inside his department. what of the mayor who sidelined him in the first place? we caught up with her today in oakland. and this was an online date gone really wrong. a uc be

we hear a lot of warnings like be careful who you meet with from the internet. a uc berkeley student learned that the hard way. he thought he was inviting over a person he met on a dating app early monday morning. he invited her to his apartment. she showed up, but police say so did her friends. they came through the door and held the student at gunpoint, stealing cash and electronics. when the 19-year-old victim told berkeley police, they got on the app and set up another meeting with the suspect. then they said they found all four suspects in a car and arrested them at the berkeley marina. that included a 19-year-old man and woman, a 16-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. police said they found stolen items, a bb gun and a handgun in the car.

if you have been wondering what is next for the oakland police chief amber department, it has probably felt like a long 19 days without answers. it perhaps felt even longer for laurent armstrong, and his supporters have not been quiet about their demands. >> today is the day to say we have your back. >> reporter: the supporters have grown louder. they want him back on the job. but the leader at the center of the decision to place him on leave hasn't done much lately. oakland's new mayor offered to put armstrong on paid leave after a report found that he mishandled officer conduct, something that armstrong

disputed. we caught up with sheng thao to ask her about his future. >> can you say when he might be back? >> it is a personality issue. i can't say that. >> reporter: we repeatedly requested interviews with tao, but she has declined to comment. she said that her decision was not meant to be punitive. armstrong sent her a letter that he says will be made public. that likely echoes his pleas to be put back to work. in a separate statement, he said that the facts demonstrate that i acted properly, following all policies and procedures. i did nothing wrong and deserve to be reinstated to protect the public and protect my well- earned reputation. thank you for your support. >> we want him to continue the work he has done in this

community! for families that have lost their children, he has been the number one advocate! >> reporter: families of victims of gun violence rallied on his behalf. when asked about mayor thao 's decision, they didn't mince words. >> what you think nobody is holding her responsible in this? >> i can't figure that out, because she is a big part of the problem. somebody is going to have to clear his name. because you dragged him through the mud, you might need help clearing his name as well! all right, we haven't had many easy forecast days over the past few weeks and months, so we are going to give you a weather vacation. but you can't go on vacation because you are the only one here tonight and most nights! >> it is a fairly common forecast and that makes a big difference compared to the way that we started off 2023. calm and cool, even chilly conditions. north bay valleys could collect

a little bit of fog, but a sunny and one forecast for tomorrow. back to near average temperatures with even a chance of showers as we had through the weekend. let's take a look at futurecast. here is a little bit of fog that was built through the delta into the inland valleys, but otherwise just a few passing high clouds overhead tomorrow and thursday. a little more cloud cover tries to return to the coast through thursday night into early friday, even fog inside the bay. a better chance will try to drop down by saturday, but we are talking 20 to 30% rain chance through the weekend with another similar rain chance as we head into tuesday of next week. there are signs that go well beyond the scope of the seven- day forecast that may be another subtle pattern will shape up as we go through next weekend the following weekend. that is presidents' day weekend.

we will keep you updated on that. right now looking out at san jose, clear skies overhead, temperatures dropping down mostly to the 40s. still holding onto 52 degrees in downtown san francisco. mostly mid-to-upper 30s inland which is a bit on the chilly side. low 40s along the bay and the coast will make up for it. plenty of sunshine overhead tomorrow and temperatures warming up to a few degrees above average around the bay. low 60s in san francisco in oakland. upper 50s around the coast, but amateurs are higher than normal for many inland parts of the bay area . low to mid 60s in the north bay, and upper 60s in the santa clara valley. san jose is one of the warm spots. a degree, maybe two degrees warmer on thursday, then we are back to near average temperatures friday and saturday. we will mix and upper 50s and low 60s sprinkled in. slight chance of showers saturday. if you have plans i would not rearrange anything. it looks like a breed chance of showers. we warm up on sunday and monday.

the next showers will be accompanied by chillier air next week. straight ahead in sports, the record was set the year he was born! tonight, lebron james owns it! a milestone of a moment in l.a.! also tonight, oakland going beyond offering up art, want morore from youour vitam? geget more witith nature's's b. fromom the firstst-ever tripe acaction sleepep supplemenen. to daiaily digestitive suppor.

when it comes to basketball, there has always been the debate about who is the greatest player of all time. there is a metric that you cannot argue with that was set tonight. >> lebron james, i'll tell you what! he has been chasing this thing for a while. ever since we saw him on the cover of sports illustrated as a teenager, he has been in the spotlight and answered every call. the chase is over! when your name is attached to the words all time, it resonates, especially tonight. james was 36 points shy of reaching kareem abdul-jabbar scoring record with kareem in attendance! late in the quarter, he broke it against oklahoma city on this shot!

gave up 38,388 points. kareem retired in 1989. but stop the game! a ceremony ensued and the torch, ball was passed to the new all-time scoring leader. >> thank you guys so much for allowing me to be part of something i have always dreamed about, and i would never, ever in 1 million years change it from what it is tonight. thank you guys! >> lebron is going to lebron! in the nfl, the 49ers made in another move. they found a new defensive coordinator. meet steve wilks. longtime coach, to time interim head coach. he most recently had been the panthers interim head coach for the final 12 games of this season. this will be his third defensive coordinator stand.

the best defense in the nfl! there is cacarlson! back from the all-star break, he and his san jose sharks got a goal from harrington. it hit the top post and went in. the game was a tie. it went into overtime, before carlson set up meyer right by the goal. his second goal of the night. they won 4-3. the sharks have been 3-11 in overtime games coming out have won two straight. that's a pretty nice win over a three-time eastern conference champion! sharks are in florida on thursday, in miami. but the top story, lebron, someone gets a chance to go see him in a few days! >> we appreciate you as always! why the owners of an east bay coffee shop or on a

a business in the heart of downtown oakland is working to build bridges between the black and brown community. it is called kinfolk, meaning of course family. tonight we take you inside a space that is putting a light on black-owned businesses. >> reporter: in the corner of this gathering space, you will find craig davis hanging out at his favorite spot. creighton, who is black and czechoslovakian, use the canvas to create community. it only took a walk down the block for him and his dog to see the need.

>> when you see a void, you think something needs to fill it. but i and most oakland others know that there is so much talent, so much beauty, so many skills and gifts that people in the community have. >> reporter: creighton is an attorney, educator and the creator of kinfolk. some call it a coffee shop. others say it is a wine bar. no matter what you call it, when you walk inside you feel a connection. but it also fills a void. >> there are so many vacant businesses in downtown oakland, so many vacant storefronts, that i wanted to play a part in the revival. >> reporter: ahmad said that he gets a sense of belonging. born in oakland, with creighton born in san francisco, created this space for their color, their kind.

>> sometimes when i was working in different businesses, things that have popped up recently, i didn't know if it was for me. but when i walk into kinfolk, i know that it is for me. >> reporter: from the design to the artwork, even the plants are from black designers, black artists and black creative's. that's not all, though. the wines are from black producers, too. >> it is this ancient beverage that brings people together. >> reporter: she is the wine director. she says that wine warms conversations and atmospheres. >>'s is what i feel oakland looks like. when you walk into kinfolk and you see people of all ages, all races, all genders coming in and hanging out, being really comfortable. >> reporter: whether you walk in for the wine, the coffee or just the people, you will likely stay for something else. >> it isn't really something you can name. it is an energy.

it is a feeling. it is a comfort that, you know, you don't necessarily feel in all places. >> reporter: you get something. a feeling that fills a hole in this community. >> last week, kinfolk started off black history month with a special event highlighting black winemakers. okay. what does the goat do an nfl retirement? post thirst traps, of course! why this one is

tom brady announced he was retiring several days ago, again. not the first announcement, right? >> he retired on the same day in successive years! >> in case you are wondering what he is up to, there is something involving strategic hand placement. he posted this picture yesterday that some are saying has broken the internet. did i do it right? he wrote. there he is in all of his semi- naked glory. this is more than a thirst traps. it is an ad. he tagged a clothing brand he founded. you know he is making money. his former teammate, tristan

works from the tampa bay buccaneers has something to say. he tweeted "delete this." yeah. >> this is five days after he announced his retirement. you couldn't wait a full week? >> but he is making money off of it. imagine how many people are clicking on those underwear now. >> he always has to be doing something. do something on a beach. read a book. leah hammock for a while, you know? he could probably by the beach.
