1:37 am
something from this. we can't keep saying this is not america, because it is america and we have to learn to talk to the people who have felt ignored, or else they are going to keep erratically using the power that the system rightfully gives them, but it will hurt people. it's easy to say that you were right, but it's important to learn why you were wrong. but first, prescription pills.
1:38 am
now at 11:00, president trump's second stint in the oval office is officially underway. >> our golden age has just begun. >> from cheers to anguish. >> the deplorables won. >> i just wouldn't follow him to the grocery store. >> the bay area is reacting to a very busy day while some of the names in silicon valley enjoy a seat at the table. >> we do have very powerful, very wealthy people getting the ear of the president. from kpix, this is the late
1:39 am
news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. it is a new day in our country and for some people that is something to celebrate, but for others it is a deeply scary thought. no matter what side of the aisle you're sitting on, we all got to witness this administration hitting the ground running. president trump signed almost 200 executive orders, memos, proclamations. some of those include pardoning the 1,500 people involved in the january 6th capitol attack. he declared a national emergency at the southern border, signed an order reinstating the federal death penalty, pulled the u.s. out of the world health organization and paris climate accord and signed an order to try and rename u.s. landmarks, including changing the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. the president is working to undo what was done by previous democratic administrations, which is probably pretty jarring for largely blue state like ours. >> the question for people in
1:40 am
democratic states and progressive areas is how much states will want to and be able to push back. we know that the federal government and state governments are separate sovereigns. we know that states have a lot of power in our system. so when it comes to questions of immigration or the environment or energy policy, what we're going to see is big progressive states trying to push back. >> that pushback could include lawsuits, some that california is already preparing to file. across the bay area emotions were all over the place today. for progressives it was a pretty somber day. wilson walker was at san francisco's mlk march to get some reaction. >> i'm wearing a t-shirt representing kamala devi harris for whom i knocked on 2,460 individual voters' doors in six swing states on nine trips. >> reporter: campaign volunteer
1:41 am
kimber rodler came to san francisco's mlk march with her statue of liberty, but like many here, she didn't have much to say about the 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 inauguration. 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
1:42 am
things that people need so that grifters like donald trump, scam artists like trump, can't win elections. >> to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy. >> so that's the consensus i see with all my friends and the people that, you know, 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 are 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? >> so the democrats were clearly very down, but some bay area republicans could not be happier. our kevin ko went to the east bay where some told him they feel vindicated today.
1:43 am
>> reporter: 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 boulevard 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
1:44 am
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 ideas are often seen as threatening and unwelcome. >> i think overall it's 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. >> we've gone too far on some issues, shouldn't have to state your pronouns proactively or be a pariah. you should be able to offer your pronouns freely if you want to to communicate your gender identity to people. this moment in time will bring us back to some common sense and pragmatic ideas. >> president trump promised a big crackdown on immigration, too, and it seems like that's already begun. he has honed in on the border and ended the use of a smartphone app that allowed migrants to legally
1:45 am
cross into the u.s., also. some immigrant families here in the bay area are terrified, to say the least. one community organizer and mother of four says she could be deported and separated from her children who were born here in the u.s. [ speaking in a global language ] >> my son said that he would hide me and would stay at home with me and have my older sister, who is 18 years old, goes to san jose state, bring them food. >> local groups say they've prepared for this doing what they can to let people know about their legal rights and they're working with immigrants to help get them legal status in some cases. the aclu has already filed a lawsuit over president trump's bid to end birthright citizenship. president trump also says now the federal government will only recognize two genders, male and female. he signed an executive order to that effect today. our john ramos talked to transgender advocates who are worried about the message that sends.
1:46 am
>> 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
1:47 am
struggling with gender identity issues. chase believes the trump campaign attracted people who were angry about aspects of their lives that they could not control. >> and they're being pushed down by systems that 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 like 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 with that. 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. bourne, who usually supports democrats, said it was the transgender issue that changed her mind. >> so 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. you know, girls, boys, they're being harmed by this ideology. >> reporter: but it's not just
1:48 am
a disagreement over ideology. noreen farrell with equal rights 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
1:49 am
address it and prevent him from harming lgbtq+ people once we have all those details. >> they say california can create its own safeguards to protect against discrimination, but federal policies could still have impacts here. the director of that nonprofit in santa rosa says they're already planning to go without federal funding the next four years. whether you love or hate this, some of the bay area's biggest names were front and center in washington, d.c. today. >> it's a very powerful industry, but it's never been so involved at the highest levels of government. >> the potential influence big tech could have on the white house. and for everyone who did not know what to do with their thumbs while tiktok was blacked out, it's backed and people are thanking the new president for that. the offshore breeze resulted in temperatures in the 60s. we'll look and see if we can find any rain chances in the first alert forecast. plus, dropping your phone
1:53 am
you really did not have to look very far at all at the inauguration to see that it was a who's who of bay area tech tycoons. our kelsi thorud takes a closer look at trump's second term. >> reporter: from meta's mark zuckerberg to apple's tim cook along with amazon's jeff bezos and tesla's elon musk, the titans of america's tech industry were all on hand for president donald trump's swearing in. >> silicon valley's been powerful for five decades now. it's not some out of the way
1:54 am
no nothing. it's a very powerful industry, but it's never been so involved at the highest levels of government. >> reporter: jason brooks, the anchor of moneywatch on kcbs radio, says he's not surprised to see the tech industry's biggest names cozying up with the new administration. >> for a long time the tech industry just held onto these old norms we're going to do things our way. we don't want to be concerned about politics or social issues, but tech is too big now. >> reporter: he says the relationship elon musk has been able to forge with president trump has shown many in the industry the power a close connection with the president could have. >> i think these other ceos of these very influential and powerful tech companies can see elon musk is getting some favor perhaps from donald trump to speed up regulations for self-driving cars and robotaxi is an incredibly important part
1:55 am
of tesla's business. >> reporter: but not everyone is too happy about these tech execs trying to get close with the president. state senator scott wiener, a democrat, posted this photo on x along with the caption, "the oligarchs gather and so starts the looting of america." jason told us some concern is merited. >> there are concerns obviously. when you have very powerful, very wealthy people getting the ear of the president and having the ability to have a bigger piece of the president's time than many other people would, most other people ever would, you have to be concerned that, of course, they're going to be asking for things that naturally benefit themselves first. >> reporter: january says it's still too soon to know exactly how much influence the tech industry may have within the trump administration and in turn what that could then mean for the industry as a whole, but what he does know is that whatever happens, it will most
1:56 am
likely have an impact, not just here in silicon valley, but nationwide. >> it's got to be reciprocal because i do think that tech is going to sense this door is opening and they won't want it to ever shut. they want to be fully in with the decisions that will affect the country and, of course, them as well. it only took about 12 hours after going dark for tiktok to pop back up again. they were against a deadline to sell to an american owner or be banned on sunday. tiktok later said it reached an agreement with internet service providers to come back online thanking president trump for telling those providers they would not face penalties for allowing tiktok to operate here. president trump also signed an executive order today giving tiktok 75 more days to find a new owner. >> why did you change your mind? >> because i got to use it and remember, tiktok is largely about kids, young kids. if china is going to get information about young kids, i
1:57 am
don't care. to be honest with you, i think we have bigger problems. trump's newly launched cryptocurrency soared today during his inauguration. the so-called meme coin surged more than $10 million in record value and helped bitcoin hit a new record high. trump has promised to be a bitcoin friendly president. first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at kia.com. kia, movement that inspires. >> i actually spent part of my weekend back home in southern california and my family is very near one of the burn scars. thankfully, they're okay, but just the haze and the air quality and technically speaking, it has improved, but it was just so nasty down there in terms of what the air looked like. for us it's also very dry still, right? >> yeah. we haven't had rain since the first weekend in january, over two weeks ago now. it's looking increasingly likely that we won't have any rain through the rest of the month, which would make this the third dryest january on
1:58 am
record in san francisco. record keeping goes back to 1850. the big picture pattern has not changed much. so let's take a look. i'll turn on the satellite view and really no cloud cover anywhere close to california, specifically our part of california, everything steered away from us. there's a big hill of air, area of high pressure pushing the storm track way to the north and any storm that climbs over that drops in a direction that doesn't give it access to a lot of moisture. there will be one that sneaks down the west coast this weekend that will send light showers into southern california by saturday into saturday night, not enough to end fire season, but they'll take whatever they can get. that big picture pattern isn't budging on a long term basis anytime soon. it's going to be a pretty similar trend the next several days. clear skies now, seeing cloud-free conditions
1:59 am
because of that offshore wind which has now weakened. the wind advisory was canceled early. temperatures are dropping off quickly, 37 degrees in santa rosa already, 40 in livermore, san francisco still holding onto 52 degrees, but those temperatures will continue dropping as we head through the night with no cloud cover and no wind to hold any warmth near ground level. temperatures inland will drop to within a few degrees of freezing, even below freezing in petaluma, 31 degrees there and 31 in fairfield. east of the oakland hills the low to mid-30s, around the bay starting around 40 degrees. all these numbers are 5 to 7 degrees below average. even in the santa clara valley temperatures are dropping into the mid- to upper 30s. you might think it's going to be a cold start. it's going to be cool all day. nope. we'll make the most of the ten hours of sunshine we get in mid-january and temperatures will climb up to about 2 to 6 degrees above normal, mid-60s in san jose, mostly low 60s around the bay
2:00 am
with temperatures on the cool end still climbing to the upper 50s, which is where everybody is supposed to be here in mid-january. up into the low to mid-60s going farther inland, in the north bay 66 degrees for a high temperature in healdsburg, temperatures maybe a couple degrees warmer wednesday and thursday, but we'll see a return of some haze on the horizon. air quality was good across the entire bay area today because the gusty winds stirred around the lowest levels of the atmosphere and helped disperse the haze that had developed as people use their wood burning stoves and fireplaces. now with calmer winds and the dry, tranquil weather pattern that stuff will collect in the lowest levels of the atmosphere, back to moderate air quality wednesday, thursday, friday across the board. in terms of long range rain chances, still a strong signal towards drier than normal conditions to finish january as we look at the six to ten-day outlook, a hint of wetter than normal conditions in southern california at least a couple days. even the eight
2:01 am
to 14-day outlook into february, still a strong signal towards drier than normal conditions, just does not look like we'll break out of that large scale dry weather pattern anytime soon. seven-day forecast, only have to show you one of them because everybody is on the same playing field in terms of temperatures, above normal through the abbreviated workweek after today's holiday, low to mid-60s pretty much everywhere through friday and we drop back a little bit. that storm system that will bring a chance of showers to southern california this weekend won't bring us much shower chance but will bring temperatures back down, mid- to upper 50s saturday and sunday which again isn't bad at all for the last weekend in january. straight ahead in sports, warriors not at full strength, labored against the defending nba champs. and only one left standing in atlanta, 2024 college football closed for business tonight.

i do rely on you to keep me informed about college football. i admit i don't follow it closely, but i know that today there was a big game. >> what a way to end the season with two of the titans of college football, north dame and the ohio state university. you know what? in a month and a half spring ball will come into play. i have a 49ers connection to college football playoff finale tonight. the 2024 season is in our rear view mirror. here's one. joe montana want a natty with the irish nearly 50 years ago. lebron james, the ohio native, back in the buckeyes who led 31-7 and then this fourth quarter play, riley leonard to jayden greathouse, what a name, what a catch! his second touchdown cut the buckeyes' lead to eight with over four minutes to play. here's your game. ohio state third and 11 and they dialed up the 56-yarder, freshman star
2:06 am
jeremiah smith with a huge grab from will howard, ate time on the clock and held back the irish 34-23 to win his first natty since 2014, oh, and buckeyes head coach ryan day, one time 49ers quarterback coach in 2016. nba and the warriors, no draymond green. they hosted the celtics this afternoon. remember the dubs celebrated their fourth title in the curry era after they beat boston in 2022? well, since then the two teams have gone in different directions. >> seems like an eternity ago. we done had a lot of different iterations of the team since then. hopefully we can get back to that feeling. we got a long way to go. >> the celtics showed curry and company how far they have to go. dubs shot 32% from the half and trailed by 15 at halftime. curry finished with 18 points. it went from bad to worse in the third. andrew wiggins lost the ball. jayson tatum and
2:07 am
jaylen brown, both alone at the other end, tatum with the easy two. he finished with 22. the celtics won it 125-85. it's the warriors' worst home loss in 40 years. >> big part of our season has been when we can't score, we losewe lose life. we lose competitiveness. you can get away with it against some team. it's not a good formula for success. hockey day. macklin celebrini went to school at boston university and will smith grew up in massachusetts, went to boston college. he had close to 100 friends and family at the garden. smith gave them something to cheer about when he tied this game at 2-2 in the second period, seven goal of the year for smith, but here's the thing. the bruins dominated the final 20 minutes. they scored four goals in the third period, two by charlie coyle.
2:08 am
boston won it 6-3. sharks' road trip continues tomorrow in nashville. this was cool. stanford guard jalen blake spent they've years at duke before transferring to the cardinal, hit the game winning shot against his old rival north carolina. stanford's first win in 14 tries against the tar heels, but it doesn't end there. on sunday jalen's younger sister mckayla, a freshman at vanderbilt, hit the game winning putback against tennessee. and my favorite part of the story, their dad was at both games this weekend to celebrate with his kids. as a father of three knuckleheads, it just doesn't get any better than that. >> no, it definitely doesn't. vern, thank you so much. iphones are great for a lot of things, including capturing ries on vacation, but one woman says her caught more than she expected after she dropped it somewhere she shouldn't.
2:11 am
to get the perfect shot to show off their vacation, not really you. you're more of an in the moment kind of guy. >> yeah. just one sunset picture. that's all i need. >> but this one was a total accident. lena n aseri was recording her cell phone enjoying her fun in paradise. she dropped her cell phone while she was in the water and it was still recording and the results have gone viral. it had a phone with a waterproof case and my phone was in there. with the water pressure and everything i just lost it. i was not expecting 50 million people to see it. >> a lifeguard was able to grab the phone out of the water and she decided to share the video on tiktok and it took off thanks in part to beautiful views and a photo bombing fish. this might end up as one of those commercials for the phone case company. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. it survived wherever she was diving. >> but also for me personally,
2:12 am
i just wouldn't bring the phone around the water. >> no. >> you know. >> it worked out. >> in a ziploc bag. thanks for watching! "the late show" is next. - [narrator] the following program is a paid commercial announcement from great healthworks. - welcome, my name is connie craig-carrol, and i'm so glad that you're joining me. the chances are you or someone you know, is dealing with the challenges and the limitations of pain in our back, knee, shoulders every day. and we seem to miss out on life because we just can't find relief. i know what that's like. joint pain can be such a burden. today we're gonna tell you about omegaxl, a product millions of people have trusted. it's a one of a kind natural supplement that helps relieve the pain associated with inflammation
