palo alto. >> our time is now 502. we now know the name of the pregnant woman who was killed over the holidays in a car crash in gilroy. 29 year old rachel marie gonzalez gallegos was killed on new year's day at the intersection of leslie road and new avenue. police say miss gallegos was with her husband and young son when they were hit by a driver, who has since been arrested on suspicion of dui. the chp says rachel gallegos was riding in a 2021 chevy suv when it was hit head on around 6:30 p.m. the 50 year old driver of the other vehicle, a gmc truck, was speeding. according to investigators, when that truck veered into oncoming traffic will drive quickly on that road, but it's not overly crowded. >> i never thought it to be dangerous. it'd be nice to have a stoplight there. possibly. >> the unborn child did not survive the crash. a gofundme account with a photo of rachel

gallegos with her family has been set up. the suspect was booked without bail into the santa clara county jail. >> later today, the public will get another chance to honor the late former president jimmy carter. his casket will make its way from atlanta to washington, d.c. later today. then a procession will carry his body to the u.s. capitol, where the former president will lie in state in the rotunda until thursday. officials say security is on high alert for today's procession. >> we're not tracking any credible or specific threats associated with these events. that being said, we are certainly operating in a heightened threat environment. >> vice president kamala harris is expected to speak during president carter's service later today. the public can pay their respects this evening and throughout tomorrow. >> well, president biden was in new orleans. he paid tribute to the 14 people killed in the new year's day terror attack. last night, the president and first lady were at an interfaith

prayer service, and the names of the people killed were read aloud as candles were placed on the altar. most of those who died were in their 20s. president biden said that he and the first lady want the victims families to know they're not alone. >> there's one thing we know. new orleans defines strength and resilience. you define it, whether it's in the form of this attack, from this attack or hurricanes or superstorms. this city and its people get back up. that's the spirit of america as well. >> now, earlier yesterday, the president and first lady met privately with the victims families, as well as with two police officers who were injured. the bidens placed flowers at the memorial on bourbon street. it was set up in memory of the people who were killed. now, today, the president will be in coachella. he'll establish the first of two

national. a new national monument monument honoring indigenous tribes. this comes after tribal leaders proposed where they would want those monuments to be. one will be south of joshua tree national park. this will make drilling, mining and any other energy industrial related activity illegal in that area. the other monument will be up north of the state, covering an area close to mount shasta. >> the competition to be alameda county's next district attorney is underway. 15 candidates have officially applied to replace former district attorney pamela price, who was forced out in a historic recall last year. candidates include prosecutors, a superior court judge, alameda city attorney and an art school director. the board of supervisors will review applications and hold public interviews later this month. a final decision is expected by february. the new district attorney will serve until the 2026 general election. >> time is now 506. well, today,

city leaders in antioch are introducing a new acting police chief. but before that announcement, people in antioch told us how frustrated they feel. ktvu james torres is in antioch now to tell us the concerns neighbors have with this police department that's mired in scandal. good morning james. >> good morning to you, dave. well, the frustration comes from because people don't understand why they don't have a permanent police chief. the announcement that will be learning later this morning. we'll be learning who will be taking over as acting police chief, a role that has been in place that way for about a year and a half. in antioch. now, the police department, plagued with recent controversies. it's experienced quite an officer shortage, like most departments would report throughout the bay area, even the country as well. but more specific to here, there was a racist text message scandal that got the attention of the u.s. department of justice. we spoke to a former city council member with past law enforcement experience. he says he wants to see more transparency from the city.

>> with the history that they've had of interim police chiefs. they've made the wrong selections, and i hope they don't make the wrong one again. but who's involved in that? how did they how did they make the selection? that's a big concern of mine. >> this will be the third acting police chief in the last 18 months. and with growing crime, antioch requested help from the california highway patrol for surge reinforcements. much like what we've seen in oakland over the last year. chp says it's heard that request, but isn't able to commit full time at this time. this morning, the mayor, the city manager and the current acting chief, brian addington, will make that announcement. his position is open because he announced his retirement. that announcement will come later at 10:00. we're live this morning in antioch. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, yesterday was all about fog. this morning. it's all about wind, has some pretty good gusts, so that has chewed up any low cloud. everyone is clear. and that's the good news. some

of the stronger gusts i've seen so far. lucas valley at 44mph near mount diablo, 49. not too far from mount diablo 49. there's lucas valley 44. santa rosa airport 36. fairfield travis 35, oakland hills 34 and half moon bay at 31mph and we are under clear skies. we have the cloud cover. yesterday we had. the fog system is digging into southern california, but for us we have a wind advisory goes until 10:00 tomorrow morning. gusts maybe 50 up in the hills would not surprise. there's 35 travis concord north 22 oakland airport offshore santa rosa, 18 gusting to 30mph. that's the system, though. that's responsible. it's digging into southern california. it's actually some some rain in mojave and light snow at big bear, which they'll take. but there's been gusts in the higher elevations. san bernardino mountains, 50mph. that's the source of the wind. as that system develops off of la. and that's going to make for some roaring offshore wind. high wind warning is out for southern

california not only today, but maybe again over the next couple of days. a couple of systems are going to be digging into southern california for san francisco. it's currently 58 on the low. i'll go 56. the record 68. that's it. so maybe today you might get close to a record? i don't think so, but it will be in the mid 60s. would not surprise in the least. look at all the 50s. half moon bay is almost 60 degrees. a lot of 50s low to mid this. berkeley 55, oakland 56, sfo 56. bolinas is 60 degrees. that's that offshore breeze san rafael sausalito in there. richmond in there. napa and windsor 58. all because of that wind. upper 30s up in the mountains or 20s south lake tahoe. but it's 62. in santa barbara. they have a northeast gust to 33. that'll do it. you can see the system developing. so look for sunshine today. temperatures will be in the 60s, but it's going to be a blustery, breezy to windy day for some day. >> i say thank you. time is 510. governor newsom announced a budget plan that he says is

two is now 513. california's long delayed high speed rail system continues to be built in the central valley in kern county. governor newsom joined other officials in driving in the ceremonial spikes at the groundbreaking for a new rail yard. that's where equipment and supplies will be kept. the governor said 50 important projects have been completed along the route between bakersfield and merced, with passenger service expected to begin between the year 2030 and 2033. governor newsom says the california has a balanced budget. he unveiled a $322 billion budget plan with no deficit after two years of major budget shortfalls. the governor says he's, quote, proposing little new spending. his plan includes additional investments in public safety, health care, education and infrastructure. the plan is mainly a placeholder until may, as the state waits to

see if president elect trump will follow through on his threats to revoke billions of dollars in federal funding to california. >> revenues in the state are up $16.5 billion. this is a snapshot subject to change significantlyy may. a snapshot of the revenue projections above and beyond what we had projected last year. >> now, governor newsom's administration plans to give more information on the budget plan on friday. that's the deadline to present it to california lawmakers. time is now. 515. san francisco officials are preparing to swear in mayor elect daniel leary during a private ceremony at the civic center plaza tomorrow. the crews are out there covering the ground with flooring and building a riser for the event. law enforcement working out the security plans. the sheriff says the surrounding streets are going to be closed off. metal

detectors will be placed at the entrances on larkin street. >> working with the police department and other law enforcement agencies, as well as other city agencies, to make sure that everybody is safe and that it's a celebration without the concerns of recent events. >> now, nearby stores and restaurants, they're worried those street closures will hurt their business for the day. one restaurant owner says he hopes the people attending the inauguration will choose to celebrate by eating lunch in the area. time now 516. winter freeze. it is engulfing most of the nation this morning. a new arctic blast will hit the region recovering from snow and ice storm. schools in the washington, d.c. area closed today for a snow day. this really frigid weather is coming at a bad time in washington, d.c. this week with the certification of the 2024 presidential election. also, former president jimmy carter's funeral and president elect

donald trump is expected to arrive on capitol hill tomorrow to meet with republicans. >> anybody here can answer about how to, you know, restore order when this city gets 5 to 8in of snow. then there. i'd like to hear the answer to that. >> now, many government offices in the d.c. area. they will join the public schools and close for a second straight day. well, people aren't the only ones enjoying the winter wonderland in washington, d.c. look at these giant pandas at the smithsonian's national zoo tumbling around in the snow in their habitat. about five inches of snow fell on washington, d.c. the general public will get their first chance to see these pandas on friday. we can see steve paulson right now. here's your forecast. he'll tell you what's ahead for you. >> well, wind is the big story. mr. clark here. we've cleared out the fog from yesterday. system is diving into southern california, giving a little bit

of rain there and some cloud cover. emphasis on a little, but that will be the source of the wind as it begins to crank up. so we have a wind advisory that's already been posted. goes through 10 a.m. tomorrow. gusts maybe 50 up in the hills. there's been some pretty good gusts already. santa rosa north to 30. travis north to 35. i've seen lucas valley to 44mph. and not far from mount diablo, almost 50mph. there is some light rain down on the desert. barstow. mojave. i know palm springs. the wind has picked up. mostly cloudy there, even into la. there's been some snow at big bear mountain, but it's really going to be about the wind once that system kind of settles in just to the west of la, there will be some roaring gusts down there. so that's going to play into their forecast not only today, but maybe two more episodes of this offshore breeze. mainly a lot of 50s here. half moon bay 57, berkeley 57 oakland 57. that's all because of this offshore breeze coming in out of the hills. alameda 59 degrees. a lot of 50s here, although if you don't get any breeze, you can

drop down pretty fast into the low 40s. one observation there, walnut creek at 42, but 55 alamo and 55 in dublin. 30s up in the mountains. alturas is 39, yet it's 58 in san diego and 62 in santa barbara and palm springs. 66 so again, it's just a if you get the wind or you don't get that breeze. but southern california bracing for some strong wind and just nothing for us rain wise. i mean, we may be dry for two weeks here. it's kind of kind of the way it's looking here. so ride like the wind. clear skies yet breezy to windy. sunny for all and temperatures will be bumping up, especially if they maintain that north wind 60s to mid 60s. maybe a few upper 60s there dave. >> all right steve thank you. time now 519. what the surgeon general is saying about why he wants a cancer warning label on all alcoholic beverages. we'll talk live with our fox medical team about the

effort to reduce children's toxic metal exposure. now, under the new guidelines, the lead limit is set to ten parts per billion in most processed foods sold in jars, pouches, tubs or boxes for children under the age of two. the limits are only voluntary for manufacturers, but if baby foods exceeds the recommended limit, the agency can take action. here in california, a new law now requires baby food manufacturers to test for arsenic, lead,

mercury and cadmium every month and make the results public. costco has issued a recall for cold and flu medicine that was sold at its stores at the end of last year. the retailer says the kirkland signature brand severe cold and flu plus congestion is being recalled out of an abundance of caution over concerns of contamination. customers who bought the medication between october 30th and november 30th should return that item to their local costco for a refund. well, alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer, responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths every year in the united states. that is from the u.s. surgeon general who wants to change the health label warning on alcoholic beverages. fox medical teams doctor mike, joining us now with more on this warning. good morning, doctor mike. first of all, we've heard mixed messages about alcohol, particularly a glass of red wine. might be good for your heart. so is this based

on new research and studies or more just to make sure people are aware of the connection between alcohol and cancer in particular? >> well, pam, the most recent data over the last five, ten years or so has indicated that alcohol is a carcinogen. now, i, i actually used to lecture on the health benefits of alcohol, and i did the research. i did look at red wine and white wine and the fact that there are entities in those beverages, those wines that were thought to be quite healthy and cardioprotective. the problem is, and i'm going to tell you exactly why alcohol is probably not a good thing. but the data now suggests that alcohol gets converted to acetaldehyde, which

can cause dna damage to areas in the mouth, the esophagus, the stomach, the colon, and you see a significant number of people with cancers of those areas through direct contact to the alcohol. the other problem is that it produces free radicals in the body, which then can also cause damage. it also has effects on hormones like estrogen. and i've been telling my patients who have a history of breast cancer. alcohol is really contraindicated. and if you don't have breast cancer, it does increase the risk. finally, a reduction in b vitamins from drinking alcohol and folate in particular that can increase your risk. and if you smoke, god forbid and drink alcohol. alcohol acts as a solvent and makes the, the compounds that

you get from smoking even more deadly. and that goes for smokeless tobacco as well. so you never want to do that. >> okay. so really good information and a lot of information. thank you doctor mike really quick before we go. is that is there any amount of alcohol that is okay. is this is this warning about really no alcohol is best for your health? >> look, if you want to be completely a purist, then don't have any alcohol. no amount of alcohol is safe. i personally am not willing to give up a small to moderate amount of alcohol intake in my life. i am making a conscious decision that it embellishes my life and again, everything is dose related. if you're an alcoholic and you're

drinking a fifth of whiskey every day, your life expectancy is not long. so what you want to do is look, if you want to imbibe and have wine or other spirits, limit the use. and i think that your risk is not zero but low. that's my take on it. and like i said and where you guys are, i'm going to napa. i'm going to enjoy a fine wine. i can even tell you my favorite wine. but that's for another discussion. >> but it's i mean, you bring up a good point because a lot of businesses count on, i mean, the wine country in particular. so in moderation. but good to have all of that information before making those decisions. doctor mike with our fox medical team, thank you. >> thank you pam. >> all right. a joint session of congress certified donald trump's election victory. we have a look at the process. four years a er rioters

the problem. supervisors say the sale will help alleviate. >> plus believe that he's someone who listens to everyone who has the ability to just focus on what's the solution. >> the city of oakland has its third mayor in the past month.

the changes underway at city hall leading up to a mayoral election in the spring. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. good morning. >> thank you for joining us here on mornings on two. >> i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. tuesday morning january 7th. and we're talking about the wind this morning steve paulson has the details. >> not only is it wind, it's also on the mild side. we had a lot of 30s and 40s yesterday with fog. now it's all 50s, including santa rosa and the city are both at 58 degrees. that's a good 12 degrees above average for the city on the low for january 7th here. and even san jose, livermore and palo alto here. and that's why right there. north wind 30, 35, 22. it's an east northeast breeze and i've seen some pretty good gusts. oakland hills 35 out, especially in the marin county. hills around lucas valley, 44 45mph and around mount tamalpais. so wind advisories out until 10 a.m. tomorrow. and then southern california really, though, is going to take the

brunt of it. they're actually getting a little light rain, some of the areas down there and light snow. but it's going to be about that low setting up shop and generating wind. so ride like the wind. and that will be the story here. no fog. you don't have to worry about that. sunny and breezy to windy and warmer 60s on those temps. all right. sal is here. 531. something new. old. okay. >> it's windy, as you said. steve and our cameras are showing it. let's go to highway four. i'll show you the cameras kind of bouncing around. so it is, you know, it is going to be one of those days. it's going to be one of those days where you have to keep your eye on the wheel, or hands on the wheel and your eye out. you can see traffic is doing pretty well. we're off to a good start here. no major issues so far. 532 let's go back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. well, after two years of budget deficits, california's governor gavin newsom says this year the state will have a modest budget surplus. now, he just gave a

budget preview and is already getting responses. ktvu ali rasmus is here now with more about the state's budget. good morning. >> good morning dave. yeah, no deficit this year. and according to the governor, there will be no cuts to basic programs and no tax increases. at least that's governor newsom's prediction for now. and even he says all of that can change depending on what happens with the incoming trump administration. but the governor expressed cautious optimism when he unveiled an early snapshot of his proposed budget this year. it's $322.2 billion. state tax revenues are actually up 16.5 billion, partly because of the tax money collected from investments in the stock market. and the stock market had a good 2024. this budget does also tap into about $17 billion in reserves from the state's rainy day fund. but when it comes to education, things like free school meals will continue in california's public schools, as well as access to before and after school programs and summer school. governor newsom says his budget will also allow the state to fully

implement universal transitional kindergarten. complete funding for that program means schools would be free for about 400,004 year olds throughout the state. we spoke to the new president of the california school boards association with a thousand member districts across the state. >> the tk kinder curriculum is providing us a level playing field at this point, because now every child has the opportunity to really be ready to be successful at kindergarten level. >> we're also walking into headwinds, radically different moment in us history, world history arguably, and as a consequence, we need to be prepared. >> governor newsom says changes in federal funding, possibly under the incoming trump administration, could affect this balanced budget proposal. about a third of california's budget relies on federal funding to including tens of billions of dollars to provide health services. now, this was all just

a preview. we expect to have more details on this budget by friday when it is presented to the state legislature, then the governor and state lawmakers have until the end of june to hammer out some of the final details. so a lot can change between now and then. pam, back to you. >> thank you. ali. a retired martinez police chief has been tapped to provide strategic support to the san mateo county sheriff's office. manjit paypal has been hired to help with the day to day operations and special projects. this comes as the county set a special election that would allow the removal of the sheriff. following the release of a report detailing allegations of abuse of power by sheriff cristina corpus, her lawyers say she is preparing to file a $10 million lawsuit against the county on capitol hill. a joint session of congress certified donald trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election, donald j. >> trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes. >> his opponent in the race. vice president kamala harris,

made it official, presiding over the certification. >> i did what i have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that i have taken many times to support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> now, there was a heavy security presence as lawmakers convened for the proceedings. it was the first certification since the violent january 6th capitol insurrection, when rioters tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in which trump lost to president biden. incoming president trump has pledged to pardon those who were convicted of crimes related to the insurrection. a judge denied president elect donald trump's request to pause sentencing on his criminal hush money case during its appeal. sentencing is scheduled for friday in manhattan. trump's lawyers argue that their appeal to a higher court should trigger an automatic pause in the proceedings. the president elect could still ask an appeals court for a delay. and this morning,

the alameda county board of supervisors will resume discussions over the sale of the oakland coliseum. city leaders say only the sale of the coliseum property can alleviate the budget deficit and ward off future closures. the price and terms of payment for the coliseum sale to the african american sports and entertainment group remain under negotiation. the board of supervisors will also hold a swearing in ceremony for supervisor elect nikki fortunato bass. >> well, the oakland city council appointed another interim mayor to temporarily lead the city. he's council member kevin jenkins, unanimously selected as council president and interim mayor. he replaces outgoing council president nikki fortunato bass, who filled that role after the recall of shang tao. oakland leaders are facing major challenges with a multi-million dollar budget deficit leading to spending cuts. jenkins says his goal is to make sure his successor will be successful next. >> mayor, i want to get a transition plan ready so that

that person can hit the ground running. that person will come in in the middle of our budget process. first and foremost is public safety and the budget process. we need to make sure that our fire stations stay open. >> now, jenkins will serve as interim mayor of oakland until the city holds a special election on april 15th. as of yesterday, 11 candidates have filed paperwork to run for mayor. well, there are new signs this morning that former east bay congresswoman barbara lee may run for mayor of oakland. the longtime oakland resident and former congresswoman opened a campaign account yesterday to run for mayor. her spokesperson told the chronicle expect an announcement later this week about her decision to run or not. >> a north bay winery could have to pay as much as $8 million in penalties and fines as part of a lawsuit brought on by napa county, a county. the county won a lawsuit against hoopes vineyard that stated it did not have the proper permits to host wine tastings. the county is

asking for nearly $6 million in penalties and $2 million in attorney fees. the vineyard owner says the fines will put her out of business. >> our time now. 538. oil giant exxonmobil suing california, accusing the state of defamation. the lawsuit is a response to another lawsuit filed by the attorney general, rob bonta, accusing exxonmobil of deceiving consumers about the potential for plastic recycling. the oil company is countersuing. they're accusing bonta of working with an australian nonprofit group that competes with exxon's low carbon initiatives. well, the california department of justice released a statement saying, quote, this is another attempt from exxonmobil to deflect attention from its own unlawful deception. the attorney general is proud to advance his lawsuit against exxonmobil, and looks forward to vigorously litigating this case in court. >> bay area firefighters are headed to southern california as

a powerful windstorm is set to hit the region, and a red flag warning is now in effect. cal fire san mateo santa cruz unit shared this photo saying it is sending five fire engines northwest of los angeles to help if a wildfire ignites. >> well, the system that's digging into southern california actually giving them some cloud cover and a little bit of light rain. snow. big bear mountain is reporting some snow. i mean, they have just been, you know, next to zero, practically on rainfall. a little bit of snow up in the mountains. but that system that's the source of the wind as that system digs in there, that's going to form just to the west of la. so as that develops, it's more about wind than any rain. there is no signs of any rain the next two weeks for us. so it is dry for now. we had that january 3rd, but i'll tell you maybe the 20th or 21st or so, but it looks really quiet here today for the city. 65. average is 57. the low is 58. i'm going 56, which would still be ten above average here. the record rain 2.06 and 1853 on

this date. the record high. 68. 1911. so close. maybe flirting with a record high in the city. i don't think they'll get there, but it will definitely be well above average for this time of year. so we're in one of those patterns. we've seen this before. you just wish it wouldn't show up in january. but that's the way it is. some of the gusts here, anywhere from the oakland hills and golden gate bridge in fairfield, 35mph. santa rosa 36, lucas valley 44. and near mount diablo, almost 50mph. so wind advisory is out. gusts 3540 to 50, especially up in the hills. i've seen some of those already. pretty close. there's travis, concord, oaklan, and also santa rosa, although petaluma and napa stay calm. so again, it's kind of hit and miss on the wind, but boy, the temps up 58, 59, 58. take your pick. there's i think a couple of 40s but a lot of 50s due to the breeze. although woodside has dipped to 39. pillar point though is 58. you don't see that too often. 47 stanford, 51. palo alto. 51 foster city and redwood

city. half moon bay, though north wind to 30 miles an hour, puts them at 56 2930 south lake tahoe and also truckee, reno at 28, mammoth at two bits. it's all about that system. diving into southern california, though. and as we mentioned, there's just no sign of any rain for us here or snow. so we hope this doesn't get too ugly. but mid winter dry spells are common. you just don't want them to go longer than about 20 or 21 days. ride like the wind. sunny for all. and if you get that breeze and that north breeze, it will be warmer. 60s, maybe a few upper 60s. >> all right. thank you steve. the first death linked to bird flu. you're going to hear from health experts about the effects of the virus and the impact

(vo) you can. visit wellsfargo.com/getfargo. 344. here are some of the stories we're following for you this morning. governor gavin newsom unveiled a $322 billion budget plan. he says the state will not have a budget deficit. the proposed budget, he says, will keep free meals going at california's public schools. the governor says the budget will also allow the state to fully implement universal transitional kindergarten. now, on friday, the governor's office will give us more details on the budget. today, the city of antioch is due to introduce its new acting

police chief. we'll find out who it is about 10:00 this morning. the new police chief will be taking the job. just days after the city reached an agreement with the department of justice over racist text messages and use of force scandals. as a result, the police department will be under federal oversight for at least five years. and an update on a 2015 kidnaping in vallejo, a case that became known infamously as the gone girl case. prosecutors are bringing new charges now against convicted kidnaper matthew mueller. he's right now serving 40 years in federal prison for the kidnaping. last week, he was accused of even more crimes in santa clara county back in 2019. the latest charges allege that mueller kidnaped three other victims for ransom near san ramon. back in 2015. >> bar and restaurant owners across the bay area are now spreading the word about a man known for skipping out on his

tabs. now they're sharing photos of 36 year old jared scott. prosecutors say he was arrested for dining and dashing at a red lobster in san bruno on new year's eve. but despite that arrest, there are still concerns he could target other businesses. the case has even captured the attention of san mateo county's district attorney. >> somebody doing something like this endlessly, it can really affect the business. so i'm very sympathetic to the restaurant owners. on one occasion, he used the excuse of i've got to go to an atm to get money. he walks out and does not pay for it and isn't seen again. >> we spoke to several bar owners who say they know this man, and they say he has stolen from them. most of them simply refused to serve him now. a person in louisiana is now the first death in the u.s. linked to the highly contagious avian flu. the patient was hospitalized after being diagnosed as the first human to contract the virus. the state says the person was 65 years old

and had an underlying medical condition. to protect yourself, health experts recommend avoiding unpasteurized milk products and monitoring the health of any outdoor animals and pets. people in the bay area say one of their main concerns is the ongoing egg shortage caused by the virus. >> i was at safeway this morning and they had signs no eggs, no, no update on when they'll get eggs. so i thought maybe a local grocer would have eggs. >> the usda says the average cost of a dozen eggs is $8.97. in california, which is just about $3 more than the rest of the country. analysts warn prices might not recover until this summer. >> all right. our time is 548. if you plan to head up to the sierra. health experts are warning about cold weather injuries. extreme cold can make your body temperature drop significantly, which, you know, that could lead to various health problems. doctors say bundling up in layers of warm clothing, covering any exposed skin, and limiting your time

outdoors in extreme cold is key to preventing conditions like frostbite and hypothermia. >> frostbite is when the skin or the tissue actually freezes. and hypothermia is when our body gets so cold that it's unable to maintain that internal core temperature. so our body will shift blood from our skin and our hands and our feet to our core to try to keep it warm. >> now, besides your hands and your feet, your skin on the nose, on your ears and your cheeks can also be highly affected by frostbite. the health experts say treatment for cold weather injuries can involve several things, including removing the wet clothing, of course, and getting medical attention in severe cases. >> okay. you know, yes, i've definitely been sitting on a chair lift. i mean, it's no joke when it's really cold wind, and that's what we have today. we have some windy conditions. i felt it on the bridge, sal.

>> yeah, it is windy out there. pam and dave, for sure. steve and i yesterday were the fog brothers. i think today we're going to be the windy wind brothers. i was trying to do something clever, but it's too early. my mind doesn't work before six. all right, let's go out and take a look at interstate 880. it looks pretty good here. no major issues. we have been talking about the wind. let me show you a picture of highway four. our cameras on the tower here. pretty high tower looking down at bay point. and you can see every once in a while, it gets a jolt of wind. that's what we're talking about here. and steve will talk about it more. but if you drive a high profile vehicle, you should be careful. we do have backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. notice how the wind has blown all the fog out. yesterday i couldn't even see as far back. but now i can see it's backed up all the way out to almost the maze. speaking of the man himself, you know, when i drove my double wide into work this morning, man, i was.

>> i see, i got you to chuckle. that's okay. >> it's taking up two spaces in the parking lot. >> where are you going? what are you going to do? you know. thank you, sir, but yes, sal is correct. the wind is really cranked up here. look at these temps. yesterday was the coldest. temps were in the south bay and the santa clara valley. maybe hollister is one of the coldest, at 41. but, i mean, you're seeing 50s in the santa cruz mountains, boulder creek, felton, scotts valley, even santa cruz at 55. that's because there's a north northeast breeze. san martin's 50 degrees, san jose 55. even santa clara 51. so there's some big difference in the temps today compared to yesterday. and there's no fog either. 30 up in truckee, 29 south lake tahoe. but it's about southern california, 62 in santa barbara and 58 san diego because they have this system digging in there, it has produced some rain. believe it or not, some of the higher elevations mojave also, big bear mountains reported some snow. so i mean, maybe they'll take that, but that's going to be the source of their wind. and once that system

sets up shop, it's already developing here and it will continue to develop there. there's been some gusts about 50in some of the higher elevations. san bernardino mountains, you can see the flow around that. everything is coming in down the north. and then it's that, you know, north northeast breeze are offshore. and boy, it is looking really dry here for a while. i don't see anything. and i'm the first one to say i think i see something, but not this time. ride like the wind, that's for sure. sunny for all. once we get cranked up here. breezy to windy. not everyone is in on it, but everyone will be on warmer. temps could push a few upper 60s on the temps. santa rosa 68. temperatures will be well above average and it is except for off and on breeze or wind events. pretty quiet and sunny going into the weekend. >> thank you steve. governor newsom presented a balanced budget with a surplus. however, uncertainty looms here in california. the reason the governor is warning president elect trump's plans could change everything. >> and there's a new documentary with new information about luigi mangione, the man accused of killing the ceo of

unitedhealthcare. what his traveling companions say he was obsessed with in the months fore dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

five. there's new information about what may have motivated the man accused of murdering the ceo of united health care in a new tmz documentary. we hear from two german tourists who

spent time traveling through asia with luigi mangione in the months before that deadly shooting in new york. they tell tmz that mangione visited a gun range at one point. they also say he was obsessed with a book by an author from india. >> so much so that luigi actually purchased 400 copies of this book, which has themes of, you know, what's called corporate greed and how, you know, corporations have have sometimes gotten out of, you know, sort of gotten out of hand, gotten out of control, you know, and done whatever they could possibly do to increase profits. so he buys 400 copies of this book. then he also travels to mumbai to actually meet the author face to face and have a conversation with the author. >> mangione, who spent time living and working here in california, has been charged with shooting and killing unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson last month. last night,

the tmz documentary on mangione aired on fox, but you can still see it on hulu. >> the only miniature donkey in the bay area with an imdb page has died. perry the donkey who inspired the animated donkey character in the movie shrek, had to be euthanized last week after battling with a painful hoof disease. perry spent most of his life at a park in palo alto. he was 30 years old. the barren park donkey project shared the news on their website. a memorial service will be planned soon. christmas tree collections are underway in many bay area cities, including san francisco. the free pickup happens during the first two weeks of january. people can put their trees on the curbside on their regular collection day, just to make sure to remove the stand and any decorations from the earth. >> you know, the soil put a lot of energy into making this tree,

and so we want to get it back to the earth, back to the soil, to make the soil more healthy. >> if your trash company does not offer tree pickup, you do need to cut it up and put it in your green or compost bin. >> our time now 557. the head of one of the nation's biggest fighting organizations is joining the board of directors of meta. meta says the ufc ceo, dana white, is now on their board. he's a close ally of president elect donald trump and supported him in at least three republican national conventions. also joining the meta board are investor charlie songhurst and. zac sos acenas. john elkin. meta says the new members will help it deal with opportunities with artificial intelligence and wearable technology. >> the san francisco 49ers have now cleaned out their lockers after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. the niners packed their boxes at levi's stadium and headed home after a disappointing regular

season. the red and gold finished in last place in the nfc west with their worst record since 2018, and the season has come to a painful and early end for the defending nfc champs. >> it feels different, you know. i don't want to get used to this feeling, you know. i ain't never felt this before. >> kind of hurts more than even last year you know because we didn't reach our full potential. >> san francisco's disappointing season began before the first game. rookie wide receiver ricky pearsall was shot and wounded at san francisco's union square, and superstar running back christian mccaffrey missed nearly the entire season due to an injury. >> the injuries i have, we had so many interim police chiefs, why haven't they selected a permanent police chief? >> well, a new chapter is about to begin for the city of antioch. this morning, the city will name its new acting police chief. and a high profile figure has taken the first step towards running for mayor of oakland.

the announcement, that's expected later this week. >> from ktvu,ox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning to you and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's tuesday january 7th. let's check in with steve paulson i know you're keeping an eye on winds here, but i'm looking at sports, to be honest. >> you're looking at sports? no, i am keeping an eye on. now, southern california in particular is going to be pretty scary. they're getting a little bit of cloud cover and some light rain, but it's what's developing. that's what we're getting already. and they will get eventually here. santa rosa is 59 warm degrees. the city has actually dropped to 56. they were 58 though, but even 50 for livermore, palo alto and san jose because of the breeze. and come on, get that. you'll make it. come on. you can make it. there it is. concord. buchanan north 28. gusts 25. been up to 35. fairfield. santa rosa 29. been up to 35 there as well. oakland airport has an offshore breeze. napa airport finally joined the party north at ten,

but up in the oakland berkeley hills i've seen 3035. and there it is. even in the city, i've seen north northeast lucas valley, some of the marin county higher peaks. i've seen 40, 45 around there as well. so that offshore breeze equals a wind advisory for us. high wind warnings out in southern california that goes till tomorrow morning. and you can see that system diving in. but that's going to be the source that already is the source of our wind. and it will be theirs as well. ride like the wind. it will be sunny and breezy to warmer. i mean, temperatures will be well above average here after a foggy, cold day for some yesterday. all right. sal is here now. we'll begin with where? bay bridge, toll plaza. >> steve, you were looking at sports, right? >> i was actually. >> the 40 niners fired their special teams coordinator. >> oh, well, you wanted that? >> yeah. well, yes. we'll see what happens. all right. good morning, everyone. let's go right to the bay bridge toll plaza. i want to show you that today we do have a big. i wouldn't say big, but it's going to be the robust backup that we've had before the holidays. i think a lot of people are back and schools are back in, so

we're going to start seeing the backups. steve and i have been talking about the wind. it is rather windy out there. you might feel gusty wind in some spots, so just be careful. 601 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. well, today, city leaders in antioch are introducing a new acting police chief. but before that announcement, people in antioch were telling us how frustrated they feel. ktvu is james torres is in antioch now to tell us the concerns neighbors have about the police department and its scandals. good morning james. >> good morning to you, dave. well, the frustration comes because we're learning that antioch police is going to enact a new acting police chief, not a permanent police chief. now, there are a lot of questions surrounding that in that we don't know who that person is going to be and that acting role, it's been that way for about a year and a half, ever since the old police chief retired. now, this is a police department plagued with some recent controversies. it's experienced quite an officer shortage. that's not so different from most other

departments throughout the bay area and even the country. but more specific to antioch, there was that racist text message scandal that got the attention of the us department of justice. we spoke to a former city council member with past law enforcement experience, and he tells us he wants to see more transparency from the city of antioch with the history that they've had of interim police chiefs. >> they've made the wrong selections, and i hope they don't make the wrong one again. but who's involved in that? how did they how did they make the selection? that's a big concern of mine. >> with growing crime, antioch requested help from the california highway patrol for surge reinforcements, much like what we saw in oakland over the last year. the chp says it's heard that request, but isn't able to commit at this time. now, this morning, the mayor, the city manager and the current acting police chief, brian addington, will make that announcement. his position is open because he announced he's retiring. but that new announcement will come later this morning at 10 a.m. we're live this morning in antioch.

i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you james. governor gavin newsom says the state has a balanced budget. now, he unveiled a $322 million budget proposal with no deficit after two years of significant budget shortfalls. the governor says he is, quote, proposing little new spending. his plan includes additional investments in public safety, health care, education and infrastructure. the plan is mostly a placeholder until may, as the state waits to see if president elect donald trump will follow through on threats to revoke billions of dollars in federal funding to california. >> revenues in the state are up $16.5 billion. this is a snapshot subject to change significantly by may. a snapshot of the revenue projections above and beyond what we had projected last year. >> newsom's administration plans to provide more information on the budget proposal on friday,

which is the deadline to present it to state lawmakers. >> our time now. 604. this morning, the alameda county board of supervisors will resume debate and discussions about selling the oakland coliseum. oakland city leaders say only the sale of the coliseum property can reduce the budget deficit and ward off any future closures. the price and the terms of the payment over the sale of the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group is still under being negotiated. the board of supervisors will also hold a swearing in ceremony for supervisor elect nikki fortunato bass. >> the oakland city council has appointed an interim mayor to temporarily lead the city. council member kevin jenkins was unanimously voted into the role of council president and interim mayor. he replaces outgoing president nikki fortunato bass, who filled the role following the recall of xiang tao. oakland leaders are facing challenges with a multi-million dollar budget shortfall leading to spending cuts. jenkins says his

goal is to make sure the next mayor is set up for success. jenkins will serve as interim mayor until the city holds a special election april 15th. as of yesterday, 11 candidates have filed paperwork to run for mayor of oakland. >> there are new signs this morning that former east bay congresswoman barbara lee may run for mayor of oakland. the longtime oakland resident opened a campaign account yesterday to run for mayor. her spokesperson told the chronicle expect an announcement later this week about her decision to either run or not. >> back over to sal. let's check in on traffic. what do people need to know before they head out the door, sal? >> well, they need to know that pam and dave, that traffic is almost back to normal. i would say it might even be today. it's backed up at all the usual spots. we had a couple of weeks off for a lot of people, but now people are back. you can see the backup is out to the maze here. you can also see that interstate 880 and 580 are doing well, but

people are on the road. we don't have a lot of going on on the san mateo or the dumbarton bridge, and 880 and 680 look good into the south bay. 606. let's get back to the desk and move. >> hey! watch out, watch out! [music] >> wild footage of a terrifying moment. a car drove aggressively through a crowd of cyclists. the scary incident that grew into an explosion of anger and an historic moment is unfolding today as the nation prepares to honor a beloved figure and former president. >> paying respect from georgia to the nation's capitol. the late president jimmy carter returns to washington one last time.

zuckerberg, says meta is ending its fact checking program. that program used news organizations and other third party groups to fact check. the company is replacing it with a community driven system. it's similar to community notes on acts. zuckerberg says the recent election played a part in that decision making process for meta. >> later today, the public will get another chance to say a final farewell to the late president jimmy carter, this time in washington, dc. president carter's casket will make its way to the nation's capital before his state funeral later this week. fox's connor hansen joins us now from washington with the latest on today's proceedings and a look at the security in place. good morning. >> pam. good morning. events honoring the late jimmy carter will continue throughout this week with his casket arriving right here at the capitol later today. and we're expecting a long line of people even

stretching outside, everyone waiting to get their chance to pay their respects. >> it's amazing what you can cram into 100 years. >> as the nation remembers former president jimmy carter's commitment to equal rights, eradicating disease and serving the less fortunate. >> a departure ceremony is expected this morning at the carter presidential center in atlanta, where his casket has been lying in repose since saturday. [music] carter's casket will then be flown to washington. a procession will carry his remains to the u.s. capitol, where carter will lie in state in the rotunda until thursday. vice president kamala harris is expected to speak during a service later today. >> we're very honored that the administration and all of the security and patrols and federal agencies have come together to make sure he gets his final send off from washington. >> the public will also be able to pay their respects later this evening and throughout wednesday. but it's a busy time in d.c, with carter's arrival

following the certification of president elect donald trump's election win and ahead of his upcoming inauguration, police say security is heightened. >> we are not tracking any credible or specific threats associated with these events. that being said, we are certainly operating in a heightened threat environment. >> and carter's official state funeral will be thursday at the washington national cathedral. president biden is expected to deliver one of the eulogies. pam. >> and before you go, let us tell us what it's like there. are you already seeing people starting to gather and talk about wanting to be there for this historic moment? >> we certainly have. and we know so many people have those plans, even in the winter weather. but i can tell you, it is such a busy time here with such high security around the capitol, it will be kind of a

narrow line for people to get here and get their chance to come and see the late president. >> all right. connor hansen there in washington, d.c. we certainly will be continuing to cover the events leading up to and during the funeral. thank you for that update. well, this thursday, a local habitat for humanity chapter joins a nationwide effort to honor the late president jimmy carter. habitat for humanity east bay silicon valley will install memorial doors at oakland city hall amphitheater and san jose city hall's east plaza. the tribute will happen during carter's washington, d.c, funeral and the national day of mourning. habitat staff and volunteers who hosted the carter's during their bay area trip in 2013, will put up the doors as a tribute to the carter family. >> our time now 614. president biden was in new orleans paying tribute to the 14 people killed in the new year's day terror attack. last night, the president and first lady were at an interfaith prayer service, and the names of the people killed were read aloud as

candles were placed on the altar. most of those who died were in their 20s. president biden said that he and the first lady want the victims families to know they are not alone. >> if there's one thing we know. new orleans defines strength and resilience. you define it, whether it's in the form of this attack, from this attack or hurricanes or superstorms. this city and its people get back up. that's the spirit of america as well. >> now, earlier yesterday, the president and first lady met privately with victims families as well as with two police officers who were hurt. the bidens placed flowers at the memorial set up on bourbon street in memory of those who were killed. now, later today, president biden will be in coachella. he'll be creating the first of two new national monuments to honor indigenous

tribes. this comes after tribal leaders said where they would want the monuments to be. one will be south of joshua tree national park. it will make drilling, mining and any other energy industrial related activity illegal in that area. the other monument will be up north of the state, covering an area close to mount shasta. >> all right, 615 is the time. back over to sal for a look at traffic. where are you starting, sal? >> we're going to start with the bay bridge. pam and dave. it is crowded there. and in case you're wondering if we're back to normal, i would say we are almost. at least it's backed up. almost to the maze. metering lights are on. it's going to be a typical commute day. i think a lot of people are back to work, and a lot of people are back to school, and things are getting back into the routine. you can see 880 traffic is okay, no problems on 880 heading south yet into union city or fremont. san mateo and dumbarton bridge look good and silicon valley commute so far is quiet. 616.

let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> sal. thank you sir. we will start with what's going on in southern california. the system is digging in there, and that is generating wind with high pressure to the north and that low developing to the south. the high doesn't like the low, so it's going to fill it with wind. and that's what we're dealing with already some pretty good gusts here, about 35 to almost 50mph near mount diablo. 49 lucas valley a couple of sites in the marin county hills 44 45mph. santa rosa, fairfield, golden gate bridge and oakland hills 35 36mph. so wind advisory goes until 10 a.m. tomorrow. so it will be an issue today and tonight into early tomorrow. i mean, some of the gusts have come down a little bit. some aren't that bad, but it is no doubt a north northeast breeze here for many. 40s for a few, 50s for most. i mean, santa rosa is 5958 napa airport, fairfield 5657. half moon bay 57 sfo. the city is actually 56 and we are

running considerably warmer for most compared to yesterday at this time when we had fog and 30s and 40s. santa rosa, concord plus 12, hayward plus 12 and livermore is 13 degrees warmer than yesterday. san 15 compared to yesterday at this time 29. reno 2030 and truckee 27, alturas and 22. in ely. out there at the lone outpost at 24, in prescott, 18 flagstaff. but look at santa barbara 62 whereas arcata is 37. so that's the system. that's the culprit. all that they're going to higher clouds. but that system swinging in has produced some light snow at big bear, some light rain on the desert. but it's going to be the source of wind not only already for us, but also in southern california. as everything goes up and over the ridge of high pressure. there is nothing rain wise. so if you work outside except for wind, i think you're good to go here for probably 710 days and maybe longer. ride like the wind. sunny for all. breezy to windy and warmer on those temps. we will be pushing mid 60s, maybe a

few upper 60s. you guys. >> all right steve thank you. time now 618. bay area firefighters are rushing to southern california. as you heard steve talk about, a powerful windstorm is about to hit that region. and now a red flag warning is in effect. cal fire san mateo santa cruz unit shared this photo as five fire engines head to northwest of los angeles to be there to help if a wildfire breaks out. hey, move! >> hey! watch out, watch out, watch out! >> caught on camera. that's the terrifying moment a driver started swerving wildly, almost hitting a large crowd of cyclists in los angeles. this happened this past weekend. in the middle of the day, saturday afternoon. the video was posted to instagram and shows the driver weaving in and out of the crowd, even on the wrong side of the road, for about a half a mile. >> i didn't see any illegal

behavior on their part. that guy was just playing with people's lives like he was in a video game. >> another video posted on instagram shows people vandalizing what looks to be the same car in the video was parked in a garage, a parking garage. the angry cyclist seemed to be chasing away. the driver was seen in the video. a high profile bay area kidnaper is facing new charges near san ramon. the forensic dna testing that connected him to other possible crimes and speed enforced by aircraft in action. we're going to show you how a helicopter helped catch a speeder in sonoma county. [music]

pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone.

police say there has been an increase in people being robbed while out in the city. officers are warning people and offering tips to avoid being robbed. they say stay aware of your surroundings, especially when you're entering or exiting your vehicle. stay off your phone to avoid distractions when in public places, and police also suggest traveling in groups, especially at night. one man was arrested in oakland for stealing a u-haul truck and refusing to pull over, leading officers on a chase. the chp says the chase ended on northbound 880 just south of high street last

friday, when the truck's rear tire began to deflate, causing the driver to veer off the highway. the chp says the driver tried to run away but was taken into custody. the suspect was booked on multiple charges related to vehicle theft, evading and resisting arrest. well, the sonoma county sheriff's office says a helicopter crew played a critical role in the arrest of a man on a motorcycle following a highway pursuit sunday in santa rosa. deputies say a motorcycle with no license plates was traveling at speeds of more than 100mph before the rider was taken into custody. the sheriff's office says helicopter crews can track the suspects from above, allowing ground units to follow at a safer distance. we now know the identity of the pregnant woman who was killed in a car crash in gilroy over the holidays. 29 year old rachel marie gonzalez gallegos was killed at the intersection of leavesley road and new avenue on new year's day. police say gallegos was with her husband and young son when they were hit by a driver,

who has since been arrested on suspicion of dui. the chp says gallegos was riding in a 2021 chevy suv when the vehicle was hit head on. this was about 6:30 p.m. officers say the 50 year old driver of the other vehicle was speeding when his truck veered into oncoming traffic. >> will drive quickly on that road, but it's not overly crowded. never thought it to be dangerous. it'd be nice to have a stoplight there. possibly. >> the unborn baby did not survive the crash. a gofundme account with a photo of gallegos with her family has been set up. the suspect was booked into the santa clara county jail without bail. investigators in las vegas are still trying to determine the motive for an explosion outside the trump hotel on new year's day. federal agents are inspecting the burned wreckage of the cybertruck and their search for answers. they say an army green beret took his own life just moments before the explosion that caused seven injuries outside the trump

international hotel. experts stress this investigation is still in its very early stages. >> it takes a while to figure out motive. there's more about motive than what you think people say. well, it's got to be this. it has to be that. no, there's a lot more to it. there's a lot that goes into it. if you're going to do something as an international terrorism, domestic terrorism or whatever you're going to end up doing to start with, it takes a lot of preparation. >> now, the man's former girlfriend served as an army nurse. she says he struggled with severe mental health problems that were tied to a traumatic brain injury. authorities say data from that exploded cybertruck is providing a big boost in this investigation. among other things, they say tesla could track the driver's travels in the days before the explosion. however, privacy groups say this disclosure highlights their concerns. they say tesla and other car companies have the ability to spy on their owners, and should not be providing that information to law enforcement.

everything, everything, everything in terms of chips. all right. thank you for joining us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook. >> and good morning i'm dave clark. tuesday morning january 7th. today's warmer and windier. or am i wrong, steve? >> no no, no, you're right. but there's a lot going on in southern california. right. which was a huge miss here, i should add, because there's a lot of snow falling in higher elevations. san bernardino, la mountains here above 5000ft. in fact, i think a winter storm warning was just issued. oops. so this has you know, this is a precursor here to before the wind, but that's generating our wind here. so that's what's going on down there, but just a whole different ball game. there's even some rain being reported. so ride like the wind today for us, a wind advisory is out until tomorrow. clear. breezy. there's no fog. sunny, breezy to windy. it looks warmer for all and temperatures pushing mid 60s. upper 60s for many. all right. sal is here. 631 we are going where?

>> yeah, we're going to highway 24. steve. eastbound non commute direction. heading out to walnut creek. there's a crash. chp is reporting it eastbound 24 just near gateway. this just came in. a motorcycle rider lost control and hit the center divider. and then went across the freeway into a tree. this sounds terrible. the rider is down in the lanes, and now the chp is arriving to stop traffic. eastbound 24 at gateway. westbound 24th may also be affected by people looking at it. we're going to keep an eye on this. we'll have another update in just a few. 6.32. let's get back to the headlines. all right. >> thank you. well, later today, prosecutors will give more details about the latest charges filed against the man at the heart of a highly publicized kidnaping case in vallejo. matthew mueller is right now serving 40 years in federal prison for the 2015 kidnaping of denise huskins. that case is a subject of the docuseries american nightmare. prosecutors

in contra costa county have now said they've charged mueller with kidnaping three other victims for ransom near san ramon in 2015. investigators say the three victims kept quiet all of these years because they feared retribution. now, the announcement of these new kidnaping charges come just one week after mueller was accused of even more crimes in santa clara county, back in 2019. prosecutors say mueller sexually assaulted two women during two separate home invasions in mountain view and in palo alto. >> governor gavin newsom unveiled his budget for the state of california when it comes to public education. the budget proposal keeps some popular programs in place. ktvu sally rasmus joins us now with the details. sally. >> well, pam, when it comes to education under the governor's early budget plan, free school meals will continue in california's public schools, as well as access to before and after programs and summer school. governor gavin newsom

expressed some cautious optimism when he unveiled an early snapshot of his proposed budget this year. it's $322.2 billion. it includes a modest surplus. the governor says state tax revenues are actually up this year, 16.5 billion, partly because of the tax money collected from investments in the stock market, which did well in 2024. and this budget does tap into about 17 billion in reserves from the state's rainy day fund. but the governor says there is no deficit this year, unlike the previous two years, and there will be no cuts to basic programs and no tax increases. newsom says his budget will also allow the state to fully implement universal transitional kindergarten in california, which will make school free for about 400,004 year olds in the state. it's a move education experts applauded. >> the tk kinder curriculum is providing us a level playing field at this point, because now every child has the opportunity to really be ready to be

successful at kindergarten level. >> we're also walking into headwinds, radically different moment in u.s. history, world history arguably. and as a consequence, we need to be prepared. >> governor newsom says changes in possible federal funding under the incoming trump administration could change everything in this budget. and this proposal. about a third of california's budget relies on funding from the federal government, including tens of billions of dollars to provide health services. now, this was just a preview from the governor. we expect to have more details on his proposed budget by friday. that's when he will formally present it to the state legislature. then the governor and state lawmakers have until the end of june to hammer out the final details on what this budget will include. as we know, a lot can change between now and then. dave and pam will send it back to you. >> thank you. ali. san francisco is preparing to swear in mayor elect daniel lurie during a private ceremony at the civic center plaza tomorrow. crews are busy creating the outdoor space for the event. law enforcement

is working on security. the sheriff says the surrounding streets will be closed and metal detectors will be in place at the entrances on larkin street. >> working with the police department and other law enforcement agencies, as well as other city agencies, to make sure that everybody is safe and that it's a celebration without the concerns of recent events. >> nearby stores and restaurants are concerned that the street closures may hurt business for the day, but one restaurant owner says he hopes those attending the inauguration will choose to celebrate by eating lunch in the area. >> our time now. 636 california's long delayed high-speed rail system continues to be built in the central valley in kern county. governor newsom and other officials were there driving in the ceremonial spikes at the groundbreaking for a new rail yard, where equipment and supplies will be kept. the governor said 50 important projects have been completed along the route between bakersfield and merced, with

passenger service expected to begin between 2030 and 2033. >> what is represented today is a game changer, a transformative moment for kern county's workforce. our access to uc merced, our access to other parts of the state, our access to upward mobility to skill up to get some education. >> now, under the biden administration, this project received $6 billion in federal funding. that may not happen under soon to be president trump. republican lawmakers from california just proposed a bill to end federal support for the rail project is estimated to be about $100 billion over budget and also behind schedule. >> 637 is the time. back over to sal for a look at the commute. how's it look, sal? >> yeah, there's that crash i told you about last time. pam and dave, eastbound 24. just as you come out of the caldecott at

the wilder exit used to be called gateway. remember that exit? well, there's a crash there involving a motorcyclist, and it looks like a motorcyclist hit something. also, there's a possible semi involved, so this is becoming a mess rather quickly. if you're driving out to walnut creek from oakland, eastbound 24 is going to be slow this morning. westbound may be slow. it depends on whether or not people can see what's going on on the other side. and so we'll keep an eye on that for you. let's talk about the bay bridge. it is backed up all the way out to the maze. metering lights are on. it's not foggy. remember yesterday it was foggy. well, today the wind is a factor, but the wind has blown all the clouds away. everything else so far is okay. things are starting to load up a little bit. speaking of the weather, i know a man who knows it's mr. steve. >> i'm glad you didn't say. speaking of loading up, i was. it made me nervous there, sal. thank you sir. it's all about southern california and just like that. oh, well, we have a

winter weather advisory. it's snowing. that goes until 10:00. big bear, big bear mountain, big bear city, wrightwood, now about 5 to 6in of snow. oops. well, we'll get to there. i mean, the wind is also cranked up, but it will eventually develop at this game. i mean, this came clipping on the sierra yesterday. had some flurries, light snow and is really look at that. i mean it's really picked up a lot of energy. so before we get to the offshore wind we have to deal with some clouds, some rain and some snow. in southern california we have wind near mount diablo about 50 miles an hour. lucas valley, 44 santa rosa, fairfield. golden gate bridge, oakland hills, 35 to 36. so we have a wind advisory from that developing system in southern california, and it's an offshore breeze there. gusts maybe 50mph. seeing that some of the gusts have come down, those in the last about an hour, hour and a half, but still. 25, 28, 29 fairfield, concord, also santa rosa, santa rosa was up to 36 at one time. 57 half moon bay 57 sfo. the city officially is

56. i have some lady or somebody arguing with me on on on twitter. i'm looking at ambient weather. 5657, 54 5656 anyway, what do you do, dave i don't know. look how much the temperatures are above average here. double digits warmer than yesterday when we had fog and stuff. santa rosa, napa, concord, livermore and san jose says, hey, come catch me if you can. 15 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. 29 in reno, 30 truckee 28 south lake tahoe, by the way. chair six kirkwood reported a wind gust over 150 miles an hour this morning. so it's crazy down there. i don't know what's going on with the color tables here, but anyway, arcata is 40, santa barbara is 62. so that's the system. look at that. i mean, you know, i mean really developed. and they had to issue a winter weather advisory for snow. well we'll get to that offshore wind. but first we have snow. but that's the source of our system for wind. and there is nothing showing up for us rain wise or snow wise, for

probably ten days, maybe 14, kind of the way it's looking here. but you can ride like the wind today. sunny for all, breezy to windy and warmer. not for all but 60s on the temps, maybe a few pushing upper 60s. >> all right steve, thank you. time. 640. mcdonald's is ending certain practices at the company. we have the details of the changes happening after a rece supreme

some of the stories we're following for you this morning. today, the alameda county board of supervisors will continue talks over the sale of the oakland coliseum. city leaders say the sale will help alleviate the budget deficit and help save some important services. the city previously agreed to sell its share of the site to a buyer group called the african american sports and entertainment group. the price and terms of payment remain under negotiation. also today, the city of antioch is set to introduce its new acting police chief. we will learn who that is at about 10:00 this morning. the new chief will take the job. just days after the city reached an agreement with the department of justice over racist text

messages and use of force scandals. as a result, the department will be under federal oversight for at least five years. and later today, more people will be able to honor the late former president jimmy carter as his casket makes its way from atlanta to washington, dc. the former president will lie in state in the rotunda of the u.s. capitol until thursday. vice president kamala harris is expected to speak during the service that is taking place later today. the public can then pay their respects this evening through tomorrow. >> our time now 645. on capitol hill, a joint session of congress certified donald trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election. >> donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes for vice president kamala harris, donald trump's opponent in the election, made it official as she presided over the certification. i did what i

have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that i have taken many times to support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> now, there was heavy security as lawmakers convened for that certification. it was the first certification since the violent january 6th insurrection on capitol hill, when rioters tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election that trump lost to joe biden. now, mr. trump has promised to pardon those who pleaded guilty or were convicted of crimes related to the insurrection. the inauguration of donald trump is two weeks away. >> a judge denied president-elect donald trump's request to pause sentencing on his criminal hush money case during its appeal. sentencing is scheduled for friday in manhattan. trump's lawyers argue that their appeal to a higher court should trigger an automatic pause in the proceedings. the president elect could still ask an appeals court for a delay. meta is making a series of some controversial

changes. some say it will restore free speech and expression across its platforms. others disagree. now, meta will end its fact checking program on facebook, instagram and threads and rely on users to add notes or corrections to posts. similar to a system used by ex ceo mark zuckerberg says the federal government pressured the company into censorship over the past few years. >> over the past four years, when even the u.s. government has pushed for censorship by going after us and other american companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further. but now we have the opportunity to restore free expression, and i am excited to take it. >> meta is also updating its content moderation policies and reversing changes that reduced political content in user feeds. zuckerberg acknowledged the trade off could mean more harmful or incorrect content to appear on its platforms. >> our time now 647 mcdonald's

is one of the biggest fast food chains is rolling back its diversity goals. mcdonald's is ending some of its diversity practices, citing the supreme court's 2023 decision outlawing affirmative action in college admissions. mcdonald's will no longer set goals for representation in hiring, and they will stop requiring suppliers to sign mutual commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. in walmart, john deere, harley-davidson and others have also rolled back their diversity programs. >> disney is merging its online television business with fubo. the deal will combine hulu live and fubo tv, and clear the way for a sports streaming platform called venue sports. that streaming platform will feature sports from espn, fox and warner brothers for $43 a month. no timeline, though, for when that will be launched. >> all right, pam, back to sal at 648. some major problems in our commute this morning,

particularly in the east bay. yeah. >> eastbound 24. as you come out of the caldecott and head down the hill, we have the two right lanes blocked for an injury crash. this is the non commute direction heading down. chp is running a traffic break now because it says it's officers are on a blind curve there. eastbound on 24. westbound. not affected so much just yet. that's the commute direction. we've also been looking at the commute here. the westbound commute at the bay bridge toll plaza backed up to the maze. metering lights are on. what about today's weather? it's 649. let's bring steve back in. >> all right. thank you. sal. we will start in san francisco because every temperature i see is between 54 and 59 degrees. where'd that go, anyway? the official temp in san francisco is currently 57. the record high minimum or warm minimum is 53. so they may be flirting with a record there. i'll have to wait for the weather service, though. there's been some roaring gusts, some of the higher peaks already in town, 100 mile per hour gusts

at kirkwood already mammoth 25, truckee 30 and south lake tahoe. this is the bigger. the big story will eventually be the offshore wind. but well, lo and behold, we have some rain and snow above 5000ft. so a winter weather advisory was issued for the higher peaks there. it looks like there won't be too much there, but still, this was a little bit of a surprise, i'll say. so. big bear, big bear city, wrightwood getting some snow. there's been about a 10th of an inch to a quarter inch of rain. some of the hills just above la there. so that that that would certainly help. but it's not going to help when the wind starts to pick up, which it already has for us. there's nothing in our way for rain, maybe ten days or longer. it's kind of looking that way here. so again, if i see something, i'll tell you. but i don't see anything right now. ride like the wind. wind advisory out until 10:00 tomorrow. so pretty good gusts here in the hills, temperatures bumping up. and it is a dry pattern, but it could be a blustery one as well. get some wind, maybe again on thursday and possibly again on the weekend. dave. >> all right steve thank you. >> it's like fresh powder. it's

amazing what a way to spend the day. >> well, there on the east coast, while some stayed inside bundling up, staying warm, others, like these folks, were playing in the snow. people in d.c. gathered in meridian hill park for the annual snowball fight. locals call it the great meridian chill battle. it's happened every year since 2010. all ages are welcome to join the snowball fight when nobody's looking and i spoil my play, i try to go behind them and when they still do not know i'm behind them, i'm going to throw us. >> i throw a snowball at them and then i run away. >> how do you remember all that? organizers of the snowball fight also teamed up with special olympics dc to help answer questions and also fight stigmas about people who are disabled. special olympics d.c. also plans a polar plunge. well, people aren't the only ones enjoying

the winter wonderland and the snow in washington, d.c, the giant pandas at the smithsonian's national zoo tumbled around and played in the snow in their habitat. about five inches of snow fell on washington, d.c. the general public will finally get to see for the first time this pair of pandas on friday. time now 651. a new bill aimed at restricting transgender girls from competing in high school sports. you have the details of what this legislation would require. right now, let's check in with gasia mikaelian. she's back and see what's coming up in the 7:00 hour of mornings on two. good morning guys. >> good morning. we'll focus on who is trying to get back to the bay. as blizzards and winter weather across the midwest and east coast are causing problems for us here on the west coast. next at seven, how travelers at sfo and other bay area airports are being impacted by snow. thousands of miles away. then we're starting to get a look at some of the new tech trends that

could shape the new year. in just a few minutes, we'll take you live to the consumer electronics show in las vegas. you'll see some of the new technology that's being highlighted. we'll be back. [music]

zone two is now 655. a member of the california republican assembly. assembly is pushing for a bill to ban transgender girls from high school sports. now, the legislation would require organizations regulating high school sports to have rules to make sure that only individuals identified as female at birth are allowed to take part in female sports. the bill comes during several legal battles involving transgender students and athletes here in california. the measure is facing major barriers in the california legislature, where democrats hold a supermajority. well, the 49ers have now cleaned out their lockers. they missed the playoffs for the first time in four years. the 49ers packed up their boxes at levi's stadium. they headed home after a disappointing regular season. the 49ers finished in last place in the nfc west, had their worst record since 2018, and the season came to a painful and

early end for the defending nfc champs. >> it feels different, you know. i don't want to get used to this feeling, you know. i ain't never felt this before. >> kind of hurts more than even last year you know because we didn't reach our full potential. >> now the 49ers disappointing season began before the first game. rookie wide receiver ricky pearsall was shot and wounded at san francisco's union square, and superstar running back christian mccaffrey missed almost the entire season due to a leg injury. well, bart is alerting passengers about a service change involving the oakland airport connector. repair teams will be working on track maintenance from tonight until friday, january 24th, between nine at night until seven in the morning. only one track will be operating during that time, and trains will arrive every 18 minutes instead of nine minutes. bart says the maintenance work ensures the airport connector stays safe and

reliable. well, a maintenance project by the martinez refining company will create traffic and noise problems for the next few months. the company announced that the scheduled maintenance will take place through early april. expect more cars in the areas of marina vista and shell avenue, along with noise and increased flaring. executives say the project is a major investment in that refinery's future. time now. 657 bar and restaurant owners around the bay area are now spreading the word about a man known for skipping out of paying his tab. they're also sharing photos of 36 year old jared scott. the prosecutors say he was arrested for dining and dashing at a red lobster in san bruno new year's eve. but despite that arrest, there are still concerns he may target even more businesses. this case has even captured the attention of san mateo county's district attorney.

>> somebody doing something like this endlessly, it can really affect the business. so i'm very sympathetic to the restaurant owners. on one occasion, he used the excuse of i've got to go to an atm to get money. he walks out and does not pay for it and isn't seen again. >> now, we talked to several bar owners who say they know this man and that he steals from them. many of them simply refuse to serve him anymore. >> this community really needs healing. >> a new chapter for antioch and its embattled police department. the changes residents are hoping for as the city's new mayor appoints a new acting police chief. two firehouses in oakland have already locked their doors. now, more could be at risk of closing. the warning from firefighters following the most recent station closures. then memorial events for former president jimmy carter shift from his home state of georgia to the nation's capital this morning. what's expected in the
