now at 11:00, president trump has bashed san francisco for years, how he could be taking aim as one of the city's crown jewels. >> i look after the presidio. i look after the federal building, all that. >> why local leaders say don't worry just yet. >> in this case it's hard to fight against nothing. plus, why finding money in an old sock drawer, oakland uncovered $8 million no one knew existed. then an entrepreneur is growing success and celebrating diversity in the wine industry. >> there's this chocolate possum footprints all over it.

plus, how a backyard bandit may have saved his own life by having his cake and eating it, too. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. i think the saying that president trump isn't a huge fan of san francisco might beunder stating his feelings just a bit and now a new executive order aims to gut the presidio trust that manages the landmark. our kevin ko takes us through the presidio's history and the possible impact of this. >> i went to the presidio when the sixth army pulled out and taps were blown to close this historic part of the united states military and wondered what the future would be like. i guess nothing is shocking these days. >> reporter: jim wonderman was chief of staff to former san francisco mayor frank jordan. he testified to congress in the

mid-'90s, urging the creation of the nonprofit presidio trust, a federal agency charged with managing the historical and natural resources of the presidio. >> i thought it made a very strong case for how our city and our region would commit to making sure this would become a national park where the government wouldn't have to put in any money, the only one in the country where the united states doesn't contribute a dollar to its maintenance. >> reporter: but now the landmark is in the crosshairs of the trump administration's efforts to slash government spending. president trump signed an executive order calling to cut all federal funding to the trust that is not legally necessary. >> what stood out to me was this executive order took aim at the nonstatutory elements of the presidio and the presidio trust, but all the elements of it are statutory. >> reporter: the san francisco supervisor represents the presidio and calls the executive order "hot air and fear

mongering." >> we are going to fight with everything we've got to protect you and your homes, but in this case it's hard to fight against nothing. >> reporter: the presidio was created as a spanish military fort in 1776. it was operated as a military post by mexico for a period in the 1800s until the u.s. army took it over in 1846. in 1989 the department of defense closed the presidio as a military base, sparking an effort to convert it into a national park site. led by late senator dianne feinstein and representative nancy pelosi, in 1996 congress created the presidio trust. >> gives us a blueprint for national parks that one day will be able to sustain themselves without government funds. >> reporter: the trust says it has been financially self-sufficient for two decades, relying on funding from leasing historic buildings. >> the federal government is not contributing any money. so they really don't have anything to take away. >> reporter: the presidio has been circulated as a potential target of republican cuts for

weeks, specifically $200 million that was secured by pelosi from the biden administration for maintenance projects. it's unclear what the executive order means for that money, but the trust tells us it's already making progress on infrastructure projects that it's funding. wonderman calls the decision to target the presidio a tragic mistake, having seen what it took to make it take reality. >> i was with nancy pelosi at the time it happened and was involved. it wasn't a sure thing. it was something that she was determined to make successful. so to see it sort of denigrated in some way is painful. >> you heard kevin mentioning the $200 million pelosi secured for maintenance projects. today pelosi said the funding is protected by law and blasted the executive order as a distraction. >> and everybody said oh, he's going after you because that's your project. i said well, he can go after me all he wants,

but my project are america's children and i'm not going to be distracted. i mean i'll look after the presidio. i'll look after the federal building. i'll look after all that. that's important. this is urgent. >> pelosi said her office is carefully reviewing the language of the president's executive order. our chopper flew over speaker nancy pelosi federal building in san francisco today. according to the chronicle, the federal government has flagged it as one of the 500 federally-owned buildings the white house is hoping to sell. it is home to multiple departments and the office of the former speaker of the house. so from the federal building back to the presidio, the presidio gets millions of visitors each year who come for its hiking trails and incredible views. it is also a place where thousands of people live and work. now many people say they're uneasy about what could happen next. >> if it happened, we'd be devastated. we're very dependent on this place. this

supports our family. if we lose it, i'm not sure what we'll do next. >> what this requires from all of us as citizens, including those of us in the presidio, is that we call on our representatives. >> the presidio trust was established in 1996. it survives on rent money from more than 200 businesses and residents who currently call it home. the trump administration is moving ahead with mass layoffs. a federal judge declined to stop them today, at least for now. several unions were asking for a restraining order, but the judge said federal court wasn't the right place for unions to file a lawsuit. the trump administration and elon musk argued the layoffs are an important part of cutting back on waste. >> how can you find waste in d.c.? i'm like look, it's like bringing a room and target the wall, the roofs and the floor are all targets. it's like shoot in any direction. you can't miss. >> that was elon musk sitting

there today with a chainsaw on the floor. so far most republican lawmakers seem to be in line with the president's push to cut federal jobs. the city of oakland has been pitching pennies big time grappling with a major budget crisis that's led to closing down some oakland fire stations among other things, but now some city council members say they found an extra $8 million lying around that could go to things like reopening those closed stations. our amanda hari spoke with firefighters who say that money cannot come soon enough. >> going to show you on our map here and we're currently at station 21 on skyline boulevard. right now we'll head down skyline and we're going down to keller. >> reporter: all the green area on the map is part of the city covered by oakland firehouse 21. >> we already have an incredibly large area that we're encompassing. >> reporter: and now they have

to protect even more of the city. the two adjacent fire stations, 25 and 28, closed on january 6th to help balance the city's $129 million budget deficit. the chief says firefighters and residents are feeling it. >> we're definitely noticing our response times are increasing. >> reporter: we jumped in the fire truck and drove down to district 25 to see how long it would take. >> the range really is we should be getting a fire apparatus on scene within four minutes. so we're definitely not hitting that mark. >> reporter: this ride took about 6 1/2 minutes, substantially more than the national standard. the chief says the extra time can be crucial if it's a medical call or a major fire. >> based on the call type, i'd already talked about the ems calls and structure fire, it's life and death. >> reporter: the city's finance committee says they're prioritizing the limited budget

for safety, which is why the committee chair started looking for the money to keep the stations open. >> you have to really dig into the books, go through different excel sheets, talk to department heads. >> reporter: and some funds are now available that weren't before, like $2.6 million from the oakland coliseum due to higher than expected ticket sales. i asked if she expects to find more money. >> i'm not sure. we just have to keep digging, but what i do know is that we have much more opportunity for collecting revenue than we're doing right now. the city is not doing a good job collecting revenue that's owed to us, for example, business license taxes and vacant property taxes and there's so many things, even parking enforcement. >> reporter: it's not a done deal. the city council will vote whether or not they should allocate the $8 million towards the fire department at their march 4th meeting. if they vote against it, four more stations

will close in march, but the chief is remaining optimistic. >> yeah. i'm very hopeful that their city council is going to work through that plan. >> reporter: he says until then he wants the community to know they're doing their best. >> we do have firefighters that are here and we are going to get to your house as quickly and efficiently and safely as we can. >> reporter: fighting to protect the community despite limited resources. >> along with the $2.6 million from the coliseum fund, moneys coming from oakland's self-insurance liveability fund and measure bb, a transportation sales tax approved by alameda county voters in 2014. a bay area woman is helping people find a new path after she ditched one big industry for a very different one. >> got out of tech in 2020 and went back and continued to learn every day. >> how black vines is helping pave the way for new winemakers

to share community and culture. temperatures warmed up today, a little offshore breeze helping warm up. the generally warm pattern will stick around a while, details coming up in the first alert forecast. and she's called the cake bandit, how a little overindulgence landed a possum in rehab.

february is black history month and one east bay woman is using it as a way to uncork the next generation of black-owned wineries and vintners. this year black vines is holding its 14th annual festival to celebrate and

promote black wine and culture. andrea nakano spoke with the woman helping foster diversity in the industry. >> reporter: fern stroud started off as a musician, turned software development program manager, and then planted the seeds to her next venture, black vines in 2010. >> here we are 14 years later and now 100% black vines, out of the tech in 2020, never looked back and continuing to develop the model, continuing to learn every day. >> reporter: thursday's kickoff event was a toast of black bubbles. sparkling wine was flowing from some of the top-owned black winemakers in the bay area. this may look completely different from the tech world, but stroud draws parallels from her past experience. >> it's very similar. we're talking less than 1, 2% of folks when i started look like me in that sector. >> reporter: stroud says

increasing the visibility for black vintners has been invaluable and in turn, made the industry flourish for business owners and consumers. >> diversity is really where it's at when it comes to anything. so the more diverse it is, the more diverse expressions on an art and i consider wine art. >> reporter: events like these provide a platform for black-owned wineries to showcase their product. aliyah natoto created her own winery. as an herbalist and biologist she wanted to make wines without using traditional grapes. after debuting at a black vines event, her business has taken off. >> this black wines event, this

is my wine we started. >> reporter: and black vines hopes to continue paving the way for many others like n atoto. >> black vines is hosting events all weekend, including a free event tomorrow night at the claremont in berkeley. you can see the full list at blackvines.net. tomorrow marks eight years since coyote creek left homes underwater causing nearly $100 million in damage forcing 14 people from their homes and today santa clara leaders marked a milestone in a project. valley water installed over a mile of flood walls along low lying parts of the creek. >> with the climate change some days we're getting more rain, some days less. you don't get it in the increments you like and when it comes all at one

time, you got to be prepared. >> this was the first phase of the project to help safeguard against storms in the future. first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at kia.com. kia, movement that inspires. >> we have very mild winters in the bay area compared to the rest of the country, right? >> yeah. >> we certainly have our problems, but that's why i feel bad about complaining it's felt cold lately. >> it's been a while since we've had a long stretch of above average temperatures which, you know, my folks who live outside the twin cities, they're not exactly -- >> they're laughing at us. >> -- it was like 25 degrees below zero there. that was the wind chill. the air temperature is 14 below, balmy in comparison. >> no. >> let's talk about how long this dry stretch of weather will last. we'll look at futurecast.

all the way through the end of february and the storm track has pushed to our north. we're seeing storm systems mainly aiming at the pacific northwest, occasionally as close as the north coast of california. maybe a couple sprinkles will sneak into the higher elevations of the north bay the next eight or nine days, but we're looking at a strong stretch of dry warm weather and we'll see a lot of what we had today, which is a few passing clouds here and there, generally a lot of sunshine and temperatures well above average and it's still mild this evening. current readings looking east from salesforce tower, not seeing any fog yet, mostly 40s, but a couple low 50s, 51 degrees in san francisco, 52 degrees in san jose. that lack of fog is largely going to prevail heading through the rest of tonight. let's look at the forecast simulation on our floor map here. the fog will try to reform along the coast and maybe sneak a little bit closer to the shore line. the best chance it has of making its way onshore is to our south into santa cruz county and

a little fog trying to sneak in from the central valley. neither looks like a big deal for the friday morning commute. with the lack of fog early in the day, the sun's energy will go into warming up the atmosphere instead of dissipating the fog. temperatures will start off close to normal for this time of year, most of us in the low to mid-40s for wake-up temperatures early friday morning. the cool spots in the north bay valleys, there will be a couple locations that briefly dip down to the upper 30s, napa and petaluma 39 degrees, and then highs tomorrow warm up to about 3 to 5 degrees above normal, mid- to upper 60s for the north bay up to almost 70 degrees in healdsburg. temperatures for the most part will be in the mid- to upper 60s inland, low to mid-60s around the bay with mostly low 60s along the coast. a couple coastal communities may stay in the upper 50s, 70 degrees tomorrow in san jose. we're more likely to see temperatures climbing into the 70s more widespread for inland parts of the bay area heading into the weekend and much of next week.

speaking of san jose, look at the ten-day temperature outlook to the 1st of march. you see these temperatures running right around 70 degrees, little spikes sending up to the upper half of the 70s wednesday. when we cool off, we'll retreat to near average temperatures by the end of the first weekend in march, which is also when our next decent rain chance will arrive. we're talking about something that's in days nine and ten of the forecast. these are the day-by-day rain chances next week. there's an outside chance thursday night, not amounting to much, and the first shower chance saturday. until then there's nothing to wash out pollen from the atmosphere. we're in the medium high category through the weekend and highest category monday, ash, juniper and alder the top three offenders. if you're sensitive to those, make sure you are stocked up on allergy medication. let's look at the seven-day forecast and start with coastal parts of the bay area where temperatures won't change a lot, low to mid-60s. that's above normal for late

february. some passing clouds this weekend, but no moisture out of them. temperatures around the bay, mid- to upper 60s, the warmest days near 70 degrees. we're supposed to be right around 60. for inland parts of the bay area, temperatures are more likely to be around or occasionally a little above 70. these temperatures are more reminiscent of what's normal for april, early may. wednesday may feel more like early june as the third to last day of february. >> i personally love it. >> i'm fine. as long as we get more rain chances in march. >> we need that. we'll leave the below zero temperatures for the rest of the country. >> where they belong. coming up, our coverage of the giants spring training in scottsdale, arizona, continues. matt chapman continues after leading the team in home runs last season and our matt lively caught up with the golden glover handling the hot corner.

alright. what's the definition of character to you? umm... would you be a superhero or a supervillain?

if you could say one thing to big tobacco, what would it be? it's so important in this time of change that we reclaim our sacred ways. i had to open my eyes. you can't continue to do this. deep breath. i'd want to ask them “why?” (♪♪) female announcer: we pray for those who will hear and those we hope i'd will one day listen.y?” we pray for everyone who will bear witness and those who are waiting to see. we pray for everyone on every part of earth to know the freedom of christ, for his kingdom to come closer than ever. join us.

the giants are hoping to add some pop at the plate this season and it helps to have last year's home run leader, matt chapman, back in the lineup. our matt lively has the story from spring training in scottsdale. >> reporter: before buster posey officially took over the san francisco front office, he wanted to make sure matt chapman was a giant for the foreseeable future. now one of the faces of the franchise, the third baseman is ready for year two. >> their vision is the same as mine and they want to win a championship. that's why it was a no brainer for me to sign up. >> reporter: buster posey gave chapman his form of confidence in the form of a six-year deal

worth $150 million before last year even ended. >> it means a lot. they believed in me. i loved being here. it was a great fit. played against buster as well. it's cool to see him on the other side and hearing him talk kind of set the tone. >> reporter: posey must be a fan of the left side of the infield. he gave willy adames the richest contract in giants history to pair next to chapman. >> last year we had a bunch of different guys playing shortstop. i think when you have a shortstop like him in there every day and is a staple in your lineup, it makes the team that much better. >> reporter: the third baseman is a clubhouse captain, which is a position that comes with a whistle and everything. after a win the giants game mvps get to take a basketball shot and chapman took his role as a referee seriously. >> i think every year there's got to be something new when you win. you got to make winning fun. we'll celebrate it. that ref uniform is there from last year. they kept it for me. we'll start with that and hopefully it takes on a life of its own.

>> reporter: ref by day, recruiter by night, the third baseman is hoping his signing encourages a new wave of free agents. >> i knew if i signed here, i could get some more guys to come here. now that willy's here and justin's here, i think this is a place people will come to come. >> reporter: recruiting to the bay should be no issue. it's an area he's come to love from his time in oakland and now san francisco. what is your favorite thing to do, your favorite place to eat that is san francisco-esque? >> wow. there's so many good places to eat in san francisco. i would have to say probably the asian food in san francisco is probably my favorite or the mexican food. they got everything. it's so hard to pick. >> reporter: matt chapman is basically a bay area aficionado. six of his eight big league seasons have occurred either in oakland or san francisco. who hasn't been there? you're enjoying dessert when suddenly you realize it's all gone. how that situation made a possum a viral hero.

hey, jonny moseley here. the gear is dialed and the toyota loaded up. let's look at the latest conditions at palisades tahoe and all your favorite spots, the toyota tahoe report locked in ready to roll. >> the first half of february brought several feet of snow to the sierra. the weak storm system that brought rain showers to the bay area yesterday brought a little snow to a handful of the resorts. those are the numbers in the circles, just enough to freshen up the runs. this weekend the weather looks good, warm with highs into the mid-50s at lake level, sunshine saturday, then clouds and a very slight chance of drizzle sunday. you don't need to really worry about it. the

next chance of new snow moves in the end of next week at the earliest. we'll keep an eye on that for you here in the toyota tahoe report.

i know for a fact that we have both had this moment at some point in our lives when you're eating, it's so good you can't stop and then you realize oh, i maybe overate a little bit. what if that something was chocolate cake? i have been there. it's a matilda moment. that's what happened to this possum in nebraska. kim dodges said she ran out of room in her fridge, so she put her costco chocolate cake outside to keep it cold. the possum found it, ate nearly all of it, but after following the tracks kim and her son realized the possum was inside and something was not quite right. >> i'm thinking he's messing with me and nope, that possum is curled up on our sectional couch. we had just gotten it. so it's new to us and it's white kind of like a lighter color and there's these chocolate possum footprints all over it. then we noticed it was kind of under

distresses, so a little bit of panting, not moving, kind of hissing a little bit at us. >> hypo glycemic shock. >> the possum wasn't going anywhere, so they called help from the humane society who sent her a wildlife rehab group with a note, a possum was brought in due to having eaten an entire costco chocolate cake. the group shared the possum's story on social media where it turned into a viral sensation. >> the possum story is really relatable like who doesn't want to eat a whole chocolate cake? it's funny to see the comments on social media and i think a lot of people might have said the possum is their soul animal before, but i think this took the cake for a lot of people. >> 1 commenter wrote, to be fair, if i ate a whole costco chocolate cake, i would probably be panting, too. another said if she ate the whole cake at once, then she really only had one

piece. the so-called cake bandits has inspired shirts, raising money for the wildlife center. the possum will probably be released into the wild next month. >> i wonder if it learned anything? >> it learned that its pa (upbeat music) - [announcer] the following program is a paid commercial announcement from great healthworks. - is your body telling you something? well, there are more than 50 million americans living with joint pain every day, which means it could be affecting you or someone you love. hi, i'm john walsh. i'm on a mission to hunt down joint pain. the good news is you don't need to live in pain. pain is manageable and it's controllable. that's why there's omegaxl. so today i'm taking on a very important investigation, to chase down the truth on this incredible supplement,
