6:00 pm
1,500 people convicted in the january 6th capitol riots and signed an executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. it caps off an inauguration day disrupted by the cold. trump was sworn in as the 47th president inside the capitol rotunda, the first time that's happened since ronald reagan in 1985. ceremonies eventually proceeded to the capital one arena, the indoor stadium, where they held a modified parade and trump signed an earlier set of executive actions in his inaugural address. he tore into the previous administration and he promised progress. >> from this day forward our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. we will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. america will soon be greater,
6:01 pm
stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. >> so here is a live look at the liberty ball where president trump is expected to deliver remarks. performers include country singer jason aldean, rapper nellie and the disco band the village people. this is one of the three balls trump is expected to attend tonight. so back here in the bay area, emotions running the full spectrum from overwhelming joy to fear of trump's agenda. let's go to the east bay where kevin ko caught up with supporters feeling vindicated by his return to the white house. >> reporter: organizers here in contra costa say this is the 70th trump-related event they've held on the overpass, but today is much different because for this second presidential term folks here are taking this as a joyous victory lap.
6:02 pm
every honk sounds a bit different to lisa disbrow. >> they're expressing their true feelings versus being suppressed. in the bay area people who are not radicals are suppressed and demonized. these people can honk from their cars and their neighbors don't know. >> reporter: lisa is with the maga patriots of contra costa. she's organized about 70 trump events on the overpass on highway 24, but today is unlike any other. >> the garbage people won. the deplorables won. >> reporter: as president trump was inaugurated for his second term, republicans from contra costa county to san francisco happily tuned in. in a city where 7% of registered voters are republican, the san francisco gop held a watch party at harry's bar on fillmore street. >> people here are gratified that there's a new
6:03 pm
presidential administration that is going to bring common sense and bring pragmatic republican ideas back and at the same time we realize we're here in this deep blue city where those ideals are often seen as threatening and unwelcome. >> i think overall a message of hope and unity for across the country. it's a message of we can return to our roots. we can celebrate entrepreneurs, celebrate the people that make our country great. >> reporter: on day one in office president trump wasted no time taking action on some of the conservative agenda items he promised on the campaign trail and across the board trump supporters are eager to see what the new administration could bring. >> celebrate our legacy of expanding freedom across the globe, peace and ideally territorial expansion. maybe we can get greenland. i guess we'll see. >> we've gone too far on some issues, shouldn't have to state your pronouns pro actively or be a pariah. you should be able to off them freely if you want to to
6:04 pm
communicate your gender identity to people and he's going to bring -- this moment in time is going to bring us back to some more common sense and pragmatic ideas. >> get rid of the department of education. >> reporter: no matter what's ahead in these next four years, one thing is clear. bay area republicans are ready for a shake-up. meanwhile a somber mood today among bay area democrats, our wilson walker talked with a group of them about how they're feeling on day one of trump's second presidency. >> i'm wearing a t-shirt representing kamala debbie harris for whom i knocked on 2,460 individual voters' doors in six swing states on nine trips. >> reporter: campaign volunteer kimberly rodler came to san francisco's mlk march with her statue of liberty, but like many here, she really didn't have much to say about the
6:05 pm
day's other proceedings. >> donald trump is like a wildfire of nonsense and i just wouldn't follow him to the grocery store. >> you just look at the photos of the inauguration and it's like this oligarchy that's going to start looting the country. >> reporter: state senator scott wiener called the inauguration a bitter pill for democrats and a challenge. >> supported by a lot of regular people who were just really frustrated with what's happening in the country and with government's inability to do some basic things. so we are focused, of course, on the evil that trump brings and defending california, but also trying to understand what we need to do better as government to deliver for people on housing, on transportation, on all the things that people need so that grifters like donald trump, scam artists like trump, can't win elections. >> and give the people back
6:06 pm
their faith, their wealth, their democracy. >> so that's what i see with all my friends and the people, that they are kind of like what's going to happen? >> reporter: a small group gathered to watch the address at manny's, the mood very somber with many expressing concern over what may come from early executive orders. >> even in the latino community they're worried, like oh, my god, they will come and take us, my family, kick us out and then the gay community, the transgender, i mean he already said that already. so how do you see that these people are going to be feeling about it? >> reporter: rodler said this was a day to take the energy and focus it elsewhere. >> today's proceedings are dispiriting to me when i think about them and maybe for other people watching and i know each one of us has so much to offer
6:07 pm
and strength, something hopeful that we can do. so go ahead and do that. >> reporter: you may remember at daniel lurie's first press conference as mayor-elect he was asked repeatedly about the reelection of donald trump and he answered it this way. >> i have serious disagreements with president donald trump, but i will never, i will never let those disagreements get in the way of addressing the problems facing san francisco. >> reporter: that sentiment that san francisco and california has its own challenges to deal with was expressed more than a few times today. if for democrats that is the best way to respond to a second trump administration, then that work ge now. >> on day one president trump's orders were signed in front of a cheering crowd, the
6:08 pm
rest inside the oval office. this includes pardons for the 1,500 people involved in the january 6th capitol assault. the president signed an order, also, for an energy emergency and a national emergency at the southern border and one aimed at ending birthright citizenship. also, trump is directing every department and agency to address inflation. also in his speech, the president announced the federal government will only recognize two genders, male and female. so our john ramos spoke with some transgender advocates who are worried about the message it sends. >> reporter: for a long time the bay area has been seen as being at the forefront for gay and more recently transgender rights, but now president trump has made it clear in that regard california is pretty
6:09 pm
much on its own. >> i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear. >> reporter: as president trump was sworn into office, it was clear things had changed a lot in the country, but it was in his speech afterwards that he touched on the specifics of his plans. >> this week i will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. >> reporter: and there was one particular group that that was aimed at. >> as of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female. >> reporter: is that frightening to you to hear that? >> it is frightening to me. we know that that is not fact because we exist and we're here. >> reporter: chase overholt works for positive images, a santa rosa-based nonprofit that offers support for young people
6:10 pm
struggling with identity issues. chase believes the trump campaign attracted people angry about aspects of their lives they could not control. >> they're pushed down by systems they can't control and they might not be able to name. so instead it's easier to find someone and vilify them in a way that makes you feel you've got a leg up on somebody at least and in doing that, they feel a little bit more powerful. >> reporter: beth bourne would probably disagree. over the weekend she traveled from davis to san francisco to join a small group of trump supporters at a large anti-trump rally in the mission district. she said it was the transgender issue that changed her mind. >> for the first time i've been voting red because it's actually the republicans that want to protect girls and women from the idea that anybody can call themselves a transgender woman, which is a man. this should not be a political issue. girls, boys, they're harmed by this ideology. >> reporter: but it's not just
6:11 pm
a disagreement over ideology. noreen farrell with equal right advocates in san francisco thinks the president's words will encourage hostile environments for anyone seen as being abnormal in schools or at work. >> i don't think it is an exaggeration to say that these kinds of orders will institutionalize discrimination in the workplace and not just for federal employees or employees of federal contractors. it does provide a green light i think for other workplaces and schools and students and i think the legal ramifications could be very dire and very widespread, not just for the 26 million people who work for the federal government. >> reporter: it's still unclear what the executive orders will mean in practice, but opponents say they're already gearing up for the fight. >> at this point these are just words. donald trump is not the king. he does not get to dictate what happens in this country from on high and we'll take all the necessary steps to address it and prevent him from harming lgbtq+ people once we
6:12 pm
have more of those details. >> the gender rights groups say california can create its own safeguards to protect against discrimination, but federal policies could still have some impacts. the director of the nonprofit in santa rosa says they it are already planning to get no federal funding for the next four years. tonight at 7:00 we will hear from a bay area mother who was afraid trump's immigration policies will rip her away from her children. we'll also show you how local organizations are providing them support. still ahead, it was a calm weekend, but the santa ana winds are returning in southern california, how fire crews are hoping to stay ahead of any new fires that break out. >> we're doing what we do all the time and we're extra, extra prepared, but mother nature does what she wants to do and we can't control how big the fire gets. plus, it's a sideshow shutdown this weekend in the east bay, how police stopped one drive in their tracks as
6:16 pm
alert for scenarios like this. water drops were called in for a small fire near griffith observatory. this happens to be in l.a. it was quickly contained, fortunately. a man was arrested on suspicion of arson. meantime firefighters are being prepositioned in communities, including santa clarita, as dangerous winds increase the fire danger. the area could see wind gusts up to 100 miles per hour in these bone dry conditions and fire officials are asking residents to stay vigilant and be prepared for possible evacuations. >> we're doing what we do all the time and we're extra, extra prepared, but mother nature does when she wants to do and we can't control how big the fire gets. we can do what we can do. so definitely be prepared and get out early. >> this comes as fire crews are still battling the palisades and eaton fires. also many people who evacuated in the palisades fire are returning home. this was the line of cars along pacific coast highway in santa monica,
6:17 pm
but even as evacuation orders are lifted, officials warn wind blown ash is creating toxic air quality levels. one resident says his family is not going to stay for long. >> i think right now we're going to see what it's like, but i think given the air and a lot of the toxic material that's around we're going to grab things that we need and head back to newport and we're just taking it step by step. meantime kamala harris woke up this morning as the vice president, but after vacating the office she flew straight to southern california. harris handed out food and thanked fire crews in altadena. her home in l.a.'s brentwood neighborhood was in the evacuation zone after the palisades fire broke out. a reminder, cbs is partnering with the red cross to raise money for the wildfire victims. you can go to redcross.org/cbs to donate or call 1-800 red cross. you can also text red cross to 90999.
6:18 pm
on to a very tragic story out of san mateo county, a man and 8-year-old died after being rescued from the ocean in half moon bay at cowell ranch state beach off highway 1 yesterday. lifeguards found the victims in the water and pulled them onto a harbor patrol boat. both were taken to stanford medical center and later pronounced dead. investigators have yet to release the victims' names or how they were related. new video of a sideshow bust in richmond over the weekend, you can see the cars doing donuts in the dead end of canal boulevard yesterday evening. one driver tried to take off and ended up with three flat tires, whoops, after the police used spikes to take them out. two drivers were taken into custody and both cars are impounded for 30 days. a pleasant holiday across the bay area, a little light still left on the horizon, nice

6:22 pm
winds down south, but we've been seeing gusty winds here in the bay area. in fact, this is video from around san francisco just today. fortunately, it doesn't sound like it's going to be as much in southern california, but for the expert, let's go to paul heggen. >> yeah. the wind is a factor, not as much for us over the next six hours. the wind advisory expires just after midnight. the offshore winds will continue in southern california. it's the same setup we have seen repeating efforts over the past couple weeks, big hill of air out over the pacific and a storm system in the great basin. in between the atmosphere gets squeezed and those winds are rushing offshore. the winds are not as problematic around the bay area as they have been in southern california, but they're in for several days of this. in fact, with the red flag warnings continuing for at least tomorrow afternoon and fire weather watches after that. they'll still face several days of critical fire weather conditions. those aren't the only advisories across the country. let's pan over to the east. we have an unusual setup taking place. all the light
6:23 pm
blue here are cold weather warnings because it's a big arctic air mass that has invaded and pushed down to the gulf coast. the purple and pink are winter weather advisory and winter storm warnings in effect along the gulf coast, something that does not happen more than about once every ten years or so. let's look at futurecast because this is going to be interesting. we're talking about a wintery mix transitioning to all snow in houston, in new orleans, along the gulf coast of mississippi and alabama into florida as well, places that ordinarily don't even see much more than a couple flurries in a couple years. they'll see 4 to 6 inches of snow around houston and new orleans and as the storm progresses farther and farther east, it will spread snow into georgia and pretty far south into florida as well. this is going to bring those communities to a halt. they're not equipped to deal with this kind of winter weather, shows you the unusual setup on the other side of the country. let's look at our weather. we have clear skies now, temperatures dropping into the
6:24 pm
50s for the most part. right now this is from the mark hopkins hotel looking west, 61 degrees still in santa rosa. those numbers will fall off quickly with the sun down now and our temperatures will end up in the 30s by early tomorrow morning. it's going to be a cold start to the day. here's the forecast lows, dropping down to or below freezing a couple spot, 31 degrees in petaluma and fairfield, temperatures near freezing east of the oakland hills, not as cool around the bay, still around 40 degrees, all these numbers 5 to 7 degrees below average, a chill in the air. we make up for it. temperatures reach the low to mid-60s across the board, only the cool spots in the upper 50s by tomorrow afternoon. consideringhow cold it's going to be in the morning and the limited amount of daylight in the middle of january, it's a nice recovery as we head into the afternoon hours tomorrow. good dog walking weather tomorrow afternoon, our dog walking forecast very appropriate for a
6:25 pm
cold night, lily and lulu, their spot in front of the fire already staked out. temperatures do warm up to around 60 degrees in bay point and temperatures should make it into the low 60s tomorrow afternoon in a lot of communities, full sunshine overhead, not even any fog to start the day. air quality was okay today. it's going to take a step back the next several days with lighter winds. the haze will be back on the horizon, but it doesn't look like it's worse than the moderate category, just no rain in sight. here's some good news, a weak signal towards wetter than normal conditions for on southern california as we finish the month of january. it looks like maybe some rain would head their way, but not us. the six to ten-day outlook and eight to 14-day outlook both continue the dry pattern across the bay area into february even. here's the seven-day forecast which includes several more days of above normal temperatures and back to near average saturday and sunday, mid- to upper 50s, passing clouds from time to time, but no rain out of those
6:26 pm
clouds, same old story. paul also gave me a little bit of chile he made over the weekend to have in between shows. is it mild or hot? >> it's closer to the hot end of the spectrum. it's not dangerous. >> you heard that. thanks for sharing. when we come back, celebrating mlk around the bay, we'll take you to some of "the doctor will see you now." but do they really?
6:27 pm

6:30 pm
hall put together by the antipolice terror project, speeches, live performances and a march. organizers say it's important to keep dr. king's legacy alive. >> i believe he would be calling on us to be in the streets, to put our bodies on the line, calling on us to take risks, to reject capitalism, imperialism, and racism. >> the antipolice terror project has been putting together this march for 11 years. the cbs evening news is norah o'donnell is next on kpix. local news continues on our streaming service cbs news bay area. we're back right here in 30 minutes with more news just for you at 7:00. we'll see you then! >> the golden age of america begins right now. >> repeat after me. >> norah: tonight, donald trump sworn in as the 47th president of the united states.
