just getting out right now. they have their equipment on their backs and they are gonna be trying to get this taco truck under control. we don't know what street this is on. we do know this is very close to the new facebook headquarters, which is in menlo park. very close to palo alto. it used to be headquarters for sun microsystems, just west of the dumbarton bridge. but it looks like traffic is moving fairly slowly but it looks like this street where the taco truck is blocked off. it looks like the smoke is still black. so it's still burning pretty -- pretty significantly and taco truck i believe it obviously has some gas -- >> grease and gas -- >> grease for cooking. >> and it potentially could be

an explosive sways. >> right. exactly. so we are looking at them -- the tires have melted. we're looking at this live. this is in menlo park as fire crews try to extinguish this fire of the taco truck. hopefully whoever was inside the truck has been safely -- is safely out. >> and this is having an effect on the commute. the smoke is filling the air, it's moving through the area. it will affect quite an area. >> again, this is very close to the new facebook headquarters. you can he soot -- see the hispanics with the "like," the thumb the up sign -- thumbs up sign. we're not sure -- the street is scheetly blocked off because of

the ta toe kuck driver. i'm getting a message from kraig debro, the driver of the truck was drivinged a he toll the cops -- the taco tuck driver. i'm gets a message from kraig debro. he said the driver reported that he smelled something. kraig's doing a report on the facebook. there are derns -- there are concerns about them moving in there area. we've been following this for you. the fire trucks seem to be getting it under control it does not appear anyone is hurt. but the taco truck is basically fried. >> i think so the we'll keep you posted.

8:24. happening right now, michele bachmann is holding a news conference. she's been talking about what inspired her to get into the race for president. she's expected to drop out of the race after a very poor showing in iowa. let's listen in. >> it must be stopped. it's repeal -- its repeal is more than just a cliche for me.

it's essential to my core of conviction. obama care violates our fundamental liberties as americans, including for the first time in the history our -- history of our country, taxpayer abortion. our principals derive meaning from the founder's beliefs which were rooted in the immutable truth of the holy scrup chur, the bible. and while -- scripture, the bible. while a congresswoman i am titled, i will never be a politician. i've served one single purpose in washington, d.c. to lead an effort that was begun by the people of this country i ran as

the next steppingstone for passing on and protecting. these words are a warning. the implementation of obama care will represent a turning point for our country. i worry what a future painting in christie might depict should obama care be placed into effect. what future generations ask us -- when future generations ask what did we do? what did we give? what did we sacrifice to ensure the survival of this inconquerable -- >> you are listens to michele bachmann. she's not officially announced

she's suspending her campaign. but she's referring it -- referring to it in the past tense. we heard she is dropping out from an adviser. we did get some breaking news about rick perry. he is telling staffers he will decide in the next day or two whether to stay. he came in fifth. again, only about 10% of the vote the it looks like michele bachmann and rick perry may be about to leave. and that's what the iowa kicks are known for -- iowa cau -- iowa caucuses are for. >> and then the focus shifts to new hampshire. >> right. >> we shift to sal. he's watching our commute? >> this morning's commute has been pretty good. you can see the bay bridge on the top left there. it looks great coming into san

francisco. let's go to steve. it's mostly clear but it's cold. 30s and 40s. temperatures will rebound. it will be sunny, mild to warm. there's just nothing changing for us. one morning we get the fog. it always ends up mostly sunny here and a little bit warmer today. highs will be in the 60s. mid- to upper, even along the coast, things look really good. just some patchy fog but i think most of that is gone. cooldown on thursday and friday and we warm it up with the weekend coming into view. >> all right. thank you. 8:28. you watched it live just moments ago here on "mornings on 2." the big announcement on this day after the iowa caucuses. michele bachmann makes her decision about getting out of the race for president. also and overnight police chase in san jose.

we will tell you what happened and we'll tell you about a county jail that's about to be demolished in the south bay.

the walls are about to come tumbling down. claudine wong is outside in old -- an old san francisco jail, where in just a couple of hours a wrecking ball will bring an era to an end. >> reporter: good morning. we're in san bruno where the jail is located. if you haven't been out here, i want to give you an idea what you are looking at. in the front here, you have the new county jail. that's been opened since 2006 when the inmates moistured in there after the -- after the old jail was there.

the wrecking ball is set to go about 10:30 this morning. but i also want to pan way off on the property to the field and to some houses that are next door. there are residential neighbors near here. when you talk about taking down a building like this one, you also have to talk about things like asbestos and paint. they started work a couple of weeks. it will take weeks to clean everything. crews are wearing masks and their own air supplies with others constantly monitoring that air. >> they don't want to knock it down until it's actually been an abatement tonight and air quality will -- comes in and does an air quality test.

>> reporter: nine to 12 weeks, not really that long when you consider the history of this jail. this is video of 2006 when the jail closed. but it was all the way back in 1979 when michael hennessey was campaigning for the first time for sheriff. since then there's been a lot of failed bond measures, a court order and it took 32 years to get to this day. the wrecking ball gets a crack at this building. the process of cleaning up and tearing down in reality will still take weeks but this will be sheriff hennessey's final act. he steps down tomorrow and hands over the -- over the reins. back to you. an overnight police manhunt in san jose ended a few minutes ago. sheriff's say the suspect surrendered without a fight.

that ended the car of that started -- the car of that -- the search that started around 1:00 this morning. the suspect is now in the santa clara county jail and no injuries were reported. mayor chuck reed is working on a plan to end a grow battle over the city's new pot club rule. he says he's considering allowing more pot clubs in the future. the city council recently approved ordinances that would reduce the pot clubs from 100 to just 10. the critics have collected about 60,000 signatures. they are arguing that it would lead to marijuana superstores and that federal agents would be shutting them down e-- eventually -- eventually. this was the scene on willow, not far from the new

facebook headquarters. we're told the driver safely escaped. no one was injured but traffic on willow is down to one lane. the fire started about 20 minutes ago in the truck which was full of towels. we did the -- the truck driver told kraig debro who was on the scene that he started smelling some smoke coming from the engine area of the truck but it's unclear exactly what sparked the flames. the suspect in the spring of los angeles arsons is scheduled to appear in court. harry burkhart was arrested and is being held on one count of arson. but investigators say the german man may have set more than 50 fires. investigator say burkhart may have been upset after his mother was eighted. she could be extradited to germany to face charges -- fraud charges. a german in official says torching cars has become a common crime for agegy people

for people in germany. firefighters say someone's been setting dumpsters and trash cans on fires. there have been 14 such incidents. investigators think they are dealing with more than one arsonist. >> he will come back and do it again. >> investigators are looking into the possibility that she is fires were set by copycat artists in the wake of the los angeles fires. michele bachmann became the latest candidate to drop out of the race. here's more. >> reporter: good morning,

tori. i always got a reputation of narrowing the -- iowa has a reputation of narrowing the field. it lived up to its reputation. just minutes ago, michele bachmann announcing she's ending her bid for the gop nomination. here's a little taste of what she said. >> last night, the people of iowa spoke with a very clear voice so i've decided to stand aside. i believe if we're going to repeal obama care, turn our country around and take back our country, we must do so united. i believe that we must rally around the person that our -- >> reporter: this was a tough night for her in iowa. tories she -- she was born here -- tori, she was born here in iowa. she only finished 5% of the vote. she didn't have a lot of campaign fund. michele bachmann dropping out of the race. we saw that rick perry may be dropping out of the race last

night here in des moines. he said he was gonna go back to texas and reassess his campaign. now we're hearing it looks like he will be going on to new hampshire and south carolina. >> it looked like his campaign was up in the air but he's been tweeting he's gonna stay in south carolina. >> a very disappointing finish for hill, considering how much time, effort and money he put into campaigning in iowa. but he feels that maybe in south carolina he did have -- he can have some magic the so maybe he stays through the plirm. of course, new hampshire is next. six days from the day. that really appears to be homefield advantage. >> i want to talk about the two winners. rick santorum and mitt romney. evenly split and they really represent two different polls for the republican party.

is the gop gonna be able to co el es-- coalesce to one party? >> reporter: romney -- he -- he won here in iowa, just barely, eight votes. that was it. that's how many votes he edged out santorum with. rick santorum is really conservatism it -- conner is rative -- he's really a conservative darling and that's one of the reasons why he almost won here. this will high pressure him when it comes to fund-raising. >> any predictions for what's gonna happen next tuesday?

>> reporter: ron paul had a strong finish. but mitt romney, he's the front- runner. he was the governor in neighboring massachusetts. i think people say, all right, romney is gonna win new hampshire but who comes in second? that will be the real race whoever comes in second there could get a lot of momentum going on to south carolina where it's a very different electorate. tori? >> all right. thank you, paul, for those live reports. we'll be moving on to new hampshire next week. >> that's right. 840. let's check in with sal. what just happened in tracy? >> welling we're looking at that -- well, we're looking at that accident dave that we talked about earlier, we have a map of it and now we have video of the truck crashed. you can see one of them was carrying furniture and they had to. they are in the process of getting that stuff on to another truck.

another truck was also involved in this crash, westbound 205. traffic is getting through and a lot of people going touch lig than usual. at one point, traffic on highway 5 was backed up heading south. this is the san mateo bridge. westbound 92 traffic looks good heading to the high dz rice. northbound 880 -- highrise. northbound 880 looking good. let's go to steve. all right. good morning. yesterday was fog, fog, fog. this morning a lot more 30s. coast looks clear. sunshine, mild to warm temperatures. it's too nice. we've had -- december was nice, january is looking nice for the first two weeks. we need some rain, we need some
